This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and lose t.f life at sea, and o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully receive by the bankers, Messrs
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.

Mr. Basil Potter. Can't make out who shot them all

Enter Menken, as the Dumb Slave Zamba. Military
gentlemen in Stalls cheer up on seeing that the costume
has been slightly modified, and begin to think it's going
to be as good as Mazeppa.
Mr. Basil. How did you become dumb ?
[Menken, as Zamba, stamps her foot, opens her chest
stamps her foot again, points with one finger to the
right-hand corner, closes her eyes, opens her eyes,
points suddenly to the right hand come; stamps twice,
and bows to Mr. Potter.
Mr. Basil Potter (exhibiting great sagacity). I under-
stand you. You must have loved deeply.
LMenken, as Zamba, opens her eyes, smile; kisses her
hand apparently to some one in the Gallery, presses
her heart, extends her arms, clasps her hands, shakes
head, stamps, and bows to Mr. Potter.

man throw a rope, which obligingly fastens itself
round Zamba's body, and then they draw him up.

Several of the most experienced officials connected
with the master shipbuilder's staff at Chatham
dockyard have been despatched from that establish-
ment to superintend, on the part of the Admiralty,
the construction of the fleet of iron steam transports
now being built for the Government by various
eminent iron shipbuilding firms in this country,
the whole of the vessels being intended to be em-
ployed exclusively in the rapid transport of troops
between England and India. Already considerable
progress has been made in the construction of this
new fleet of steamers, and some particulars respecting
the vessels comprising it may not be without interest.
It is intended to commence the service in about a
year, by which period it is fully expected the fine
large steamers with which it is to be carried on, in
the first instance, will be completed and- fit for sea,
eaeli of_the 'S-9408, bai pg alreitdy
dockyards of the various private firms to whom their
construction has been intrusted by the joint arrange-
ments of the Admiralty and the Hon. Council of
India. These firms are Messrs. Laird, Brothers,
Birkenhead ; Messrs. Napier, Glasgow; the Thames
Ironwork and Shipbuilding Company; Messrs. Wig-
ram and Co., and Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Jar-
row, the respective vessels being named the Euphrates,
Malabar, Serapis, Crocodile, and Jumna. These fine
steamships, which are of the largest and most power-
ful class, are to cost nearly one million sterling.
They will exactly resemble each other in every re-
spect, each vessel being, in fact, constructed from
the same designs. Their principal dimensions are :
Length between the perpendiculars, 360 ft. ; length
of keel for tonnage, 326 ft. ; extreme breadth, 49ft. ;
depth in hold, 22ft. 4in. ; burden in tons, 4,173 ; mean
draught of water, 20ft. ; nominal horse power of en-
gines, 700; indicated horse power, 4,200. With these
engines it is anticipated that each vessel will be pro-
pelled at a mean speed of about 16 statute miles,
or 14 knots, per hour. As they are intended to
carry the enormous quantity of 1,250 tons of coal
each, they will be capable of steaming continuously
at a high 'peed for from 16 to 21 days together.
From the above particulars it will be seen that the
new transports are to be 20ft. longer, 3ft. greater
breadth of beam, of 700 tons greater tonnage, and
a knot an hour faster than the now famous
Himalaya, which has hitherto proved herself by far
the finest existing steam transport. From the ex-
treme care with which the whole of the internal
arrangements of the several ships have been planned
by Captain Mends, C. 8., the Admiralty Direc-
tor of Transports, in conjunction with Mr. Reed,
the Chief Constructor of the Navy, who has designed
the vessels, it is anticipated that they will surpass
the Himalaya in accommodation, ventilation, and
other equally essential qualities of passenger steam-
ships. These results will be greatly facilitated and
the security of the ships largely increased by the
adoption in them of the new system of double-
bottom cellular construction, which has been carried
out for the first time in our iron ships-of-war on the
iron frigate Bellerophon, now being prepared for
sea at Chatham. The circumstances connected with
the designing of the iron transport fleet are some-
what unusual, and deserve more than a passing re-
mark. On the announcement of the order for the
construction of the frigates being received at the
Admiralty, and the statement of the number of
troops and officers to be carried, with other require..
ments sent in by the Transport Board, Mr. Reed, it
is understood, suggested that the design for, as well
as the construction of, the several ships should be
entrusted to private firms, and this recommenda-
tion being acted upon by the Admiralty and the
Indian Government, several of the most eminent of
the iron shipbuilding firms were invited to submit
designs for the proposed ships, an official de-
sign being prepared in the interim by the Chief Con-
structor for the general informationof the Admiralty
and the India-office. Not one of the designs, how-
ever, sent in by the private firms from whom tenders
were solicited was of that character which could in-
duce the transport officers to recommend its adop-

tion. The official design was then called for and
approved. Before adopting it, howeyer, the Lords
of the Admiralty thought it desirable, under the cir-
cumstances, to subject the whole of the designs to
the investigation of an independent committee. Ac-
cordingly Mr. L. Watts, C. 8., late Chief Construc-
tor of the Navy, was called upon to report on the
speed and stability ; Mr. W. Fairbairn, LL.D., of
Manchester, on the structural features; and Captain
Mends, C. 8., on the general arrangements and ac-
commodation. The results were that the official de-
sign was again pronounced the best, and it was ac-
cordingly adopted by both departments of the Go-
vernment. Some idea of the capabilities of the new
transports may be inferred from the fact that they
will each afford ample accommodation for no less
than 1,250 officers, troops, women, and children, in
addition to its complement of 200 officers and sea-
men employed in navigating the ship. Of the five
ships which will comprise the squadron, two will bo
employed in the service between England and Alex-
andria, and three between Suez and the Indian
ports. From the exact resemblance of all the ships
to each other, the change from vessel to vessel at
