Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Imperial Ottoman screw line-of-battle ship
Kosovas, 80 guns, bearing the flag of Admiral
Edhem Pasha, the Commander-in-Chief of the Otto-
man squadron now lying at Spithead, completed
her screw trials over the measured mile in Stokes
Bay on the 18th inst. most satisfactorily, under the
supervision of Mr. J. Dinnen, inspector of machi-
nery to the English Board cf-Admiralty, and of the
steam factory and reserve officials of Portsmouth
Dockyard. The ship has been recently fitted at
Southampton by Messrs. Maudslay and Field, of
Lambeth, with engines of the nominal power of
700-horses, under the inspection of the officers of
the English Admiralty. The Rossova's engine
cylinders have a diameter of 77 inches, with a
length of stroke of 3ft. 9in. The boilers have
about 21 square feet of heating surface per nominal
horse-power. The screw is two bladed, with a
diameter of 19 feet, and a set pitch on the trial
of 20 feet, but it can be varied from 20 feet to
24 feet pitch, being bolted together on Mauds-
lay's principle. The screw's leading corners are
cut, as is the custom now with all screw blades in use
in her Majesty's navy, on the Admiralty pattern.
The screw is lifting, and is hung in the usual banjo
frame. On weighing her anchor at Spithead for her
trial over the measured mile in Stokes Bay the
Kossova's draught of water was 23ft. forward and
25ft. aft, the upper edge of the screw being then
immersed 2ft. 6in., the ship having 425 tons of coals
in her bunkers, and being otherwise in all respects
complete in stores, armament, and crew, and ready
to proceed direct to sea from off the trial ground if
required to do so. The wind was rather fresh from
E.N.E. with a slight swell over the course. Six runs
were first taken with full boiler power. This gave
the ship a mean speed of 12.028 knots, the revolu-
tions of the engines being, maximum, 70 ; and mean,
69-833. The mean pressure of steam in the cylinders
was 24-041 b., and the vacuum in the condensers for-
ward, 25-sin., and aft 26-sin. The indicated horse-
power was 3,606.63, or considerably upwards of five
times the nominal power of the engines, a propor-
tion greater than has been achieved at any time be-
fore by any screw line-of-battle ship with the same
nominal engine power over the Stokes Bay trial
course. With half her boiler power, which followed
on her full power trials, the ship attained a mean
speed of 10.655 knots, the revolutions of the engines
being, maximum, 60 ; mean, 59-25. The mean pres-
sure of steam in the cylinders was 16-41 b., and the
indicated horse power 2,117-8. In testing the ship in
turning, when she had been taken off the measured
mile on the finish of her full and half-boiler power
runs respectively, she was found to answer her helm
very readily. At full power she made a half-circle to
starboard in 3 min. 40 sec., and she completed the
circle in 7 min. 16 sec. To port she made the half-
circle in 3 min. 15 sec., and completed the circle in
6 min. 35 sec. With half-boiler power, in turning
to port, she made the half-circle in 3 min. 32 sec.,
and completed the circle in 6 min. 57 sec. In turning
to starboard her time was, half-circle, 3 min. 20 sec.;
full circle, 6 min. 35 sec. The last test to which the
ship's machinery was subjected on her trial was the
facility with which she could be managed in obedi-
ence to orders sent below from the upper deck bridge,
and the result of this was as follows :—Engines
stopped, 21 sec. ; ditto started ahead, 27 sec. ; do.
astern, 9 sec. The Kossova is an exceedingly hand-
some vessel, as may be imagined when we state that
she was constructed from the lines of the Renown

impo:

line-of-battle ship, improved by the introduction
into them of two or three of the best points in the
lines of the Revenge, the present flagship of Rear-
Admiral Hastings R. Yelverton, C.B„ second in
command of the British fleets in the Mediterranean.

The same principle, it is stated, is intended to be

all ships of that class belongingtoher Majesty's navy.
The last piece of the keel belonging to the old 36
gun frigate Dartmouth was yesterday removed from
the building shed in Woolwich dockyard, the demo-
lition of the ship being now complete. The whole
of her timbers will be again available, and are still
in good condition. The Dartmouth was partially
built when the new system of shipbuilding was pro-
posed by Mr. Reed, and the work was discontinued.
A large number of artisans have been placed on
board her Majesty's screw steam corvette Chal-
lenger, 22 guns, 1,462 tons, 400 horse power, now
lying in the large basin at Sheerness, and recently paid
out of commission by Capt. John J. Kennedy, C. 8.,
at Sheerness, who are repairing and refitting the
vessel again as quickly as possible for recommission.

An official notification has been received at

ing that to afford greater facilities for the comple-
tion of the number of non-commissioned officers
allowed on the permanent staff of the disembodied
militia, the Secretary of State for War, with the
concurrence of the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-
Chief, has approved the transfer to the militia of

In accordance with new regulations adopted at
the War-office, an order has been received at Chat-
ham garrison prescribing the future rate of allow-
ance of officers of the army when travelling on duty,
without troops, at 20s. per day for general officers,
15s. a day for field officers, and 10s. per day for
captains and subalterns.
In addition to the various infantry depots that
have arrived at Chatham, consequent on the break-
ing up of several of the depot battalions, the parti-
culars of which have been given in The Sun, the de-
pot companies of the 80th Regiment have also ar-
rived at the garrison from the 15th depot battalion
at Buttevant. The strength of the depot is 6 ser-
geants, 2 corporals, 4 drummers, and 54 privates,
together with the following officers :—Capt. J. L.
W. Nunn, Lieut. W. P. Mortimer, Lieut. F. God-
dard, and Ensign A. H. Smith. In accordance with
orders received at Chatham from the Horse Guards,
the depot companies of the 81st Regiment are to
remove from that garrison to Gosport. The strength
of the 81st depot is 7 sergeants, 9 corporals, 3 drum-
mers, and 153 rank and file, together with the fol-
lowing officers :—Cipt. W. E. Todd, Lieut. J. A.
Deans, Lieut. H. J. Faircloth, Lieut. W. H. H.
Jackson, and Lieut. W. B. Knight.
Mr. Richardson's experiments with a view of in-
troducing petroleum into the service for steam fuel
have been suspended for some time in consequence
of the bursting of the small grate used in the preli-
minary trials. The grate was of cast iron 3-Bths of
an inch in thickness, and composed of several pieces
of iron, with a surface of 2ft. only. It was worked
under the boiler of an engine of 14-horse power, and
succeeded, with four gallons of oil, in getting steam
up in an hour and a half. The valve was then closed
at 101 b. pressure. Steam was kept up for another
hour, with the expenditure of an additional gallon
of oil, the steam blowing off about half the time.
The grate not being strong enough to resist the
pressure opened at the joints. Mr Richardson subse-
quently submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty,
by their desire, some working drawings of a design
for a wrought-iron grate, available for practically
testing theme of petroleum. The grate is now under
construction in the steam factory of Woolwich
dockyard. Its estimated cost is about £l5O. Mr.
Richardson's design, with various ameliorations
added by Mr. Trickett, inspector of machinery, su-
perintending the factory, was yesterday laid on the
floor, and the work was then put in progress. If the
result anticipated is realised, the result will be most
rtant.

RACING FORECASTS.

(Front the Owl)

_ There seems to be but little chance of any very ex-
citing events coming off during the present season.
There are no new horses that are likely to be brought
forward, and the few old platers which will be run
again this year, as they have been for many years
past, are not such as to create any great interest
amongst the general public. The Ring, no doubt,
will do its best to get up some excitement in various
small matches, for the sake of the advantage to be
gained by themselves in the great event which is to
be decided in the autumn of this year, in the shape
of the General Election Stakes, the date for which,
however, is not yet fixed. The entries for this event
are certain to be very large, and there will be plenty
of money forthcoming at the proper time. In the
meanwhile we may expect, during the summer, to
see many hobbies ridden for the sake of the practice
it will give those who intend to compete in the
autumn.
" Reform," which perhaps is the favourite horse
at the present moment, has done a fair amount of
work during the winter. The poor old animal has
been brought out, however, so frequently, whether
he was fit or not to run, that there is no question
that he has suffered a good deal from the injudi-
cious way in which he has been treated. Belonging,
as he does, to a large Confederacy, there would
seem to be too many masters, and these do not
appear always to agree among themselves. Some
excitement was caused a few days ago by a gallop
they gave him over the ground at Leeds, under the
management of the trainer Baines. On this occa-
sion he was mounted by a new lad, the son of the
veteran jockey of Richmond Park, and it was more
for the purpose of trying the lad than the capabili-
ties of the old horse. The boy rode him very wildly,
and floundered about a good deal in his saddle, but
it is possible that, with a little more experience and
strength, he may become a useful lad in handicaps
when he is not overmatched. In this case the horse
was too strong for him, and fairly ran away.
' Reform," however, is a very good animal, and, if
carefully trained and ridden, will well repay those
interested in him. There is some idea of his passing
into the hands of Gladstone, the well-known trainer
of " Financial Reform," " French Treaty," " In-
come Tax," and other most useful nags.

early in the year. It is a colt by " Farmer," out of
the old mare " Protection," g.d. " Conservative,"
by " Agitation." It is called " Malt," and is much
thought of by its stable. It had a gallop on
Wednesday last, but from what we hear the result
was not satisfactory. There were symptoms of
weakness about his pace, and rumours that he
cannot stay. His pace is supposed to be good for
a mile, but anything beyond that will be out of
his power. An attempt was made by a mob of
his admirers to get the horse taken up by Gladstone;
but though the charge of it was not absolutely de-
clined, yet we have reason to know that that gen-
tleman has one or two others in his string which will
completely destroy its chance of success. There is,
however, a large commission out to lay upon the
horse, and he will very likely go to a short price
before the day of his public appearance.

" Permissive Bill" is a leggy, weedy-looking ani-
mal, which, in our opinion, will never do much.
He has no substance, and will give in the moment
he is collared. He will, however, start, and may be
at a rather better price before the great Stakes come
off. He is at present training at Lawson's.
There is a starter which at present is rather a
dark one, but we have reason to know that before
long he is very likely to rise to the position of second,
or even first, favourite. " Recognition" is a fine
horse, and shows promise of great power and en-
durance. He has been tried very highly, and though
we fear that latterly, owing to reports of something
being amiss, he has gone rather back in-the market,
yet he is, we believe, in much better condition than
is generally supposed, and we caution our readers
against laying heavily against him. He is supported
by a strong party, and, if not a winner, will cer-
tainly run very forward. His first appearance will
depend mainly on the operations of a certain partY
over the water, but his trainers here are verrOare-
ful, and will spare no effort to bring him out fit;
Mr. Berkeley's "Vote by Ballot" will run, we
suppose, as usual, to save the owner'& stake : '
hebut_ he
has no more chance of noose this than has j

" Irish Church" and " Irish Distress" are the lot
from the Sister Isle. We doubt if much will be
made out of them. The first-named will most likely
be steered by B. Osborne with his accustomed
ability, and some day may be worth money. The
latttr is much talked of in certain circles, but besides
being a very moderate performer, is in very bad
hands.

Of Gladstone's horses " Income Tax" and " Fire
Insurance" are spoken of as very promising, and
most probably will carry the money of his stable.
But everything in that establishment is at present
kept very quiet.

C. Villiers has a colt by " Poor-Law" out of
" Metropolitan Distress," which is looked for with
much interest, and Charles Wood will run " Indian
Budget," a very respectable performer, but not in
such good condition this year as the last.
Colonel Sykes' " China" will, as. usual, give the
public some amusement by the extraordinary riding
of its gallant owner ; and Lord Westbury is likely
to have some fun with " Bankruptcy," which horse,
we understand, has broken down badly during the
winter.

Our readers will see from this resume that there
is not promise of great sport this year, and that
betting at St. Stephen's is likely to be flat. Our
own opinion is, as we have said, that " Reform"
and " Recognition" (the latter an uncertain animal)
are likely to be worth attention, backing " Income
Tax" and " Fire Insurance" for a place.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.

.Two of the ablest and most prominent public men
of the North have lately expressed their opinion on
the state of affairs—the one privately and confiden-

tially, but in words that have been promulgated far
and near by the press ; the other openly, before an
audience of 5,000 of his fellow-citizens. The first
was Gen. Sherman ; the second, Gen. Butler. The
one has the genius of silence, the other the talent of
oratory. When either speaks America is glad to lis-
ten. In the one case it expects to hear wisdom, and in
the other to be made acquainted with principles, if
not with secrets. In neither instance has it been
disappointed.
Gen. Sherman thoroughly understands his coun-
trymen. Undazzled by his present enormous popu-
larity, he estimates their favour at its true value.
He also understands the South, and for that reason
is not led away by the sanguine hopes of a restora-
tion of the Union which have driven all classes of
the Northern people well nigh wild with exultation.
In a confidential discourse with a correspondent of
the World at Savannah, and published at full length
in that journal of yesterday, though, doubtless, with-
out the General's permission, he stated his opinion
on the subject of popularity. " As to the popularity
you speak of," said he, " I know very well of what
stuff it is made. lam popular as long as lam suc-
cessful. Not only the American press, but the Lon-
don papers, praise me as the great General of the
age. Why? Because I have crossed a great extent
of country, and by a long and perilous march have
caused an important city to fall into our hands. All
this is very well. But suppose, in the campaign I
am about to undertake, I meet the combined forces
of Lee, Beauregard, and Hardee, and fail ; what
would be my fate then ? Why, every laurel I
have won, everything I have done, would be for-
gotten. There would not be a tree high enough to
hang me upon. I should bsdragged down from
the pillar of fame to rot in obscurity in some
remote corner of the west ; and the great general
would be a failure, an impostor." The incidental re-
velation herein contained is as instructive as the
philosophy of the whole passage. Pcissibly, had he
known that his words were to be flashed through
the country over the telegraphic wires, the General
would have have been more reticent, and possibly,too,
if the same correspondent should again trust himself
within the lines, he may receive a different reception.
Being asked if he did not think the war was nearly
at an end, the General replied "At an end 1 The
war at an end ! So far from being at an end, the
war is only about to begin. The policy of giving up
their river and coast cities, although taking away
some of the prestige of the Confederacy, is making
it materially stronger than if it retained them in its
possession ; while the opening of the same cities to
trade by the Federal Government is efficiently sup-
plying the rebels with all the goods they used to re-
ceive by blockade-runners, at a cheaper price and
with less risk and inconvenience to themselves." As

the ;opinion thus expressed by General Sherman
happens to be the opinion of General Lee, the world
need not be much astonished to hear at no distant
day that Charleston and Wilmington have shared
the fate of Savannah, that the war of Southern in-
dependence has entered its second period, and that
greater events than any which have preceded will
signalise the progress of the opening campaign.

General Butler's speech to his fellow-citizens at
Lowell was of a different character, though scarcely
less important than the unstudied admissions of
General Sherman. It was not only a laboured vin-
dication of his own military career, but a studied
denunciation of General Grant. Having disdain-
fully brushed away the accusations brought against
him by the co-operating admiral at Fort Fisher,
and spoken of them as " the froth which is always
the accompaniment of too lively porter," he reite-
rated in a manner not to be mistaken his previous
innuendo that General Grant was criminally waste-
ful of human life. He accepted the depreciatory
epithet of the "hero of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher,"
which his enemies had launched at him. " I am
content—nay, I claim," he said, " to be the hero of
the comparatively bloodless attack on Big Bethel,
and of the wholly bloodless failure of Fort Fisher.
But I do not claim to be the hero of Fredericksburg,
of Chancellorsville, of the Chickahominy, of the
Wilderness, of Coal Harbour, nor of that charnel-
house of useless dead in the mine before Petersburg."
Returning to the subject, he said, " The explosion
at the Dutch Gap Canal did not, perhaps, make so
large a hole as the explosion of the mine at Peters-
burg, but it was not filled like that with American
dead until it ran blood." Nor was the charge of
cruelty and unnecessary waste of the lives of his
soldiers the only one he brought against his supe-
rior. He openly accused them of thwarting all
efforts for the exchange of prisoners between North
and South, and of purposely and unfairly leading
the Confederate Commissioner astray upon the
subject, and of consequently causing the death in
Southern prisons of many thousands of Federal
soldiers. It is difficult to see how GeneiralouGeera

Southern soil, which proposed
to to divide among the conquerors,
as William the
Norman divided among his captains and followers
the acres of the Saxon people of England. It is
likely that the General's method, if adopted, would
be popular, and that the scramble for Southern
plantations would not be so exclusively left to Irish-
men and Germans as the scramble for bounty money,
but would be shared by a rush of New Englanders
and Down Easters, glad to exchange the hard rock
and bleak skies of their own bitter corner of the
Union for the fertile lands and balmy skies of the
South. General Butler sees as far before him as the
acutest Yankee of them all, and his plans and opinions
may prove to be pioneers, and prepare a way in
which the public will be apt to follow.
Butler has but few friends in the day of his dis-
grace, and will probably have fewer still if he be
dismissed from the army. He has already disco-
vered what General Sherman expects to discover if
he do not continue to gain victories—that popular
favour is no better than Caius Marcius found it in
Rome, and that it is as safe " to swim with fins of
" lead" as to depend upon it. Some of the slavish
journals which in the plenitude of his power were
ready to apotheosize him as the incarnation of pa-
triotic loyalty, the model of soldierly virtue, and
the only true
andincorruptible Cato of the Re-
public, have now ascertained him to be as deficient
in intellect as in honesty. True to the instincts of
a base nature, they spurn the generous obligation of
refraining to hit a man when he is • down,
and hit
the harder on that very account. They
degrade
their former Apollo into a gorilla, and shower
against him all the vituperative epithets of an

1/4.11e in military
command of New Yorl,
as in e days before
Mr. Lincoln's re-election, they would grovel at his
feet, as they did then ; but now that he and military
power seem to be separated for ever, they call upon
the Federal Government to have him shot for in-
citement to mutiny, as an example to every soldier
and officer in the service. But Butler, rightly or
wrongly, intends to make a noise in the world, and
threatens to create a much greater pother when out
of office than ever he created when in command.

The question of the draught in this city excites
increasing interest, and, it must be added, ill-will.
It is not only peace journals like the Daily News,
and war-Democratic but anti-Administration jour-
nals like the World and the Express, but such
thorough supporters of the Government as the Tri-
bune and the New York Times that•expresses their
sense of the impolicy, if not the injustice, of con-
tinually changing the estimate of the number to be
provided by New York. It is true that a draught
has been so often threatened without having been
enforced, that the working classes, to whom it is
most distasteful, and on whom the burden will fall
most heavily, have accustomed themselves of late to
regard the cry as of no more consequence than the
shepherd boy's alarm of " Wolf !" in the fable ; but
the need of the Government for men is this time so
pressing, and recruiting by bounty has so egregiously
failed in providing soldiers, either in quantity or in
quality, that the alarm now entertained is far more
real than on any previous occasion. To add to the
unpopularity of the draught, there is a prevalent
suspicion that the assessment upon the city is
unfair, and is intended as a punishment upon
the labouring classes, who with almost complete
unanimity cast their votes for General M'Clellan
at the Presidential election. Though no Govern-
ment could be so stupid as to act in such a
manner without deserving •to be ignominiously
expelled from power, the absurdity of the sus-
picion does not prevent it from being generally
entertained by the many, and industriously com-
mented upon and circulated by the few, until
there has grown up a state of irritation in a• high
degree dangerous to the public peace. There are
but 15 days before the draught must be enforced
if Mr. Lincoln will not give way. In the mean-
while his principal supporter in the daily press, the
New York -Times,- states emphatically that " if the
enforcement do not lead to riots --and bloodshed, it
will not be the fault of men in position and influ-
ence." Both the people and the owners of real
estate complain bitterly of the new assessment of
the quota, from 4,400 to 21,000. It is impossible
now to raise even the smaller number by means of
bounties of $l,OOO a head between this and the 15th
Ifebruary, and if the number be not reduced and the
tune greatly extended, there is much reason to
dread that when the first labourer shall be forcibly
taken from his home to be converted into a soldier
there will be an insurrectic n in this troublesome city
of worse augury for the final success of the Federal
cause than the defeat of Grant or Sherman.

were also reported to be short.

the generality of tropical climates.
