EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING IN THE
ROYAL NAVY.
The Hazard, 16, Commander Egerton, fitted with light-
ning conductors of Smith's wire rope, after a method re-
commended by the Surveyor's chief draughtsman, Mr.
J. Edye, was twice struck by lightning during her late
service in China. On the first occasion, May, 1846, off
Diamond Point, on the north end of Sumatra, the elec-
tric fluid divided between the small wire rope and the
mast and chain sheets ; part of it came into the ship
with explosion, and split the topsail sheet hots ; the
rest of the charge went over the wire rope into the
seas and tore some of the copper off the bottom. The wire
conductor was cripplied and bulged out by the force of
the electirc shock. The second time, June 12, 1846,
when lying off Cape Po, at anchor, on the coast of
Borneo, the electrical discharge again struck the ship.
In this case the effects were more destructive ; the dis-
charge again, divided between the rope and mast; the
maietopgallant mast was splintered and carried away,
also the main topmast, part of which fell through
the quarter deck into the gun-room. The other
part of the discharge passed down over the wire
conductor into the water. The officers on board the
Hazard state that conductors of this kind are totally
unfit for carrying off the heavy strokes of lightning ex-
perienced in this part of the world. These are very im-
portant facts. They are the results of experiments on
the great scale of nature, deduced by means of the
gigantic electrical machinery of the thunderstorm, and
which go directly to:show that nothing short of a general
and extended system of conduction throughout the masts
and hull of a ship will ever aflbrd 'perfect security
from lightning. It will be remembered that about
seven years since a naval commission, appointed by the
Admiralty, inquired and reported to the House of Com-
mons on the merits of various plans of lightning con-
ductors, and they terminated their report by earnestly
and unanimously recommending the system proposed
by Mr. (now Sir William) Harris, to be carried out
fully in the Royal Navy. Notwithstanding, how-
ever, that this recommendation stood supported
by the most profound men in this department of
science, such as the late Dri Wollaston, Sir H. Davy,
Daniell, Wheatstone, and others, yet, in the very teeth
of all this, the Navy office' " sub," through Sir W. Sy-
mond's interest with the First Lord of the Admiralty,
contrived to have these wire ropes introduced into the
navy, which the Commission had declared not only an
inadequate defence, but absolutely dangerous. Of
course the Surveyor's draughtsman was better authority
than fhe best scientific and naval men in the country, he
possessing the usual requisite qualification for the
Somerset House officials—viz., that of being totally
ignorant of the subject he was professing to
understand. These small wire ropes were served
into the dockyards in considerable quantites
at a very great cost, and several ships were
supplied with them. Now behold the consequence.
Here is a ship struck by lightning, and the predicted
inefficiency of these small wires is completely 'verified.
It must be admitted that the result is at least favourable
to the view Mr. Harris took of this most interesting
question, and we do not hesitate to avow that had any of
the ship's company lost their lives from the inefficiency
of this incomplete plan of lightning conductors, in direct
opposition to the opinions of the best talent of the
country, the party who ordered, and the authorities who
sanctioned, its application, would be guilty of nothing
less than the crime of manslaughter.

A MODERN HENRY the EIGHTH
BRESLAU, APRIL 22.—The Prince Archbishop of
Breslau has launched the thunders of the church against
one of the German princes. He has excommunicated
the Prince of Hatzfeld de Trachambourg and de Jasch-
kowitz, member of the order of nobles in the General
Diet of Prussia, at present assembled in Berlin, and ene
of the richest and most influential princes in Prussia.
The following are the circumstances which have led
to an act of rigour on the part of the church so uncom-
mon in the present century :
About five years ago Prince Germain de Hatzfeld,
who is a Roman Catholic, fell in love with the Duchess
de Reichembach, a married lady, and a Protestant. Fel-
some reason, of which we do not know the particulars,
the Duchess de Reichembach got herself divorced. Soon
afterwards, in virtue of a royal decree, abridging the
delay which, according to our laws, must take place be-
tween the divorce and the re-marriage of any of the
divorced parties, the Prince of Hatzfeld got the Lutheran
pastor of Breslau to give him the marriage blessing.
Thereafter the P.ince of Hatzfeld was anxious to have
his marriage made valid according to the rites of the
Catholic Church, and for that purpose he applied to
several ecclesiastics to perform the marriage ceremony,
but they all refused, on the ground that they were for-
bidden to do so by the decisions of the Council of Trent,
and more especially by a brief addressed, in 1843, by
the late Pope Gregory XVI. to the bishops of Bavaria,
and in which the Sovereign Pontiff designates a marriage
between a Catholic and a divorced Protestant as con-
nubium adulterinum. The Prince of Hatzfeld did not
lose his courage. He went to Rome, threw himself at
the Pope's feet, and supplicated his Holiness to confirm
his marriage with the Duchess de Reichembach. Gre-
gory XVI. was moved; and after having received from
the Prince of Hatzfeld a solemn promise that he would
support the interests of the Catholic-Church, his Holi-
ness validated the marriage of the Prince and Princess
of Hatzfeld, and gave orders to the Prince-Archbishop
of Breslau to give them the nuptial benediction, accord-
ing to the rites of the Catholic Church, which was ac-
cordingly done. For some time the Prince of Hatzfeld
kept his word to the Pope. He placed himself at the
head of the Catholic aristocracy of the province, and he
constituted himself the protector of the clergy, who, in
consequence of his intercession, obtained in a short
time great privileges and considerable immunities. In
consequence of this zeal, Pope Gregory XVI. conferred
upon the Prince of Hatzfeld numerous decorations and
other marks of distinction. After two years of marriage,
the love of the Prince of Hatzfeld for his wife began
gradually to cool, and this coolness increased to such a
degree that at last he drove her out of his house, and
obtained a divorce. At the same time he formed an in-
timate connexion with another Protestant lady, Madame
de Bach, who had also the mishap to be divorced, and
on the 6th of the present month of April he married
her publicly in the Lutheran Cathedral of Breslau. On
the following day the Prince Archbishop of Breslau
pronounced a sentence of the greater excommunication
against the Prince of Hatzfeld, in which, after reciting
the above facts, he says—" Considering that his Serene
Highness the Prince Germain of Hatzfeld de Trachem-
bourg and de Jaschkowitz has rendered himself guilty
of polygamy, since, during the life of his wife, he has
married another woman; that such an act should be
punished the more seuerely from its being committed by
a person so highly placed as the said Prince of Hatzfeld
by birth, rank, and fortune, and whose example must
necessarily have a great effect upon the people; that the
Prince of Hatzfeld has shown a supreme degree of in-
gratitude to the late Pope Gregory XVI., who loaded
him with favours and honours; that the Prince of Hatz-
feld, who was at the head of the Catholics of Silesia, has
by his conduct covered his co-religionists with shame;
that it is notorious that he has stated everywhere
that he had no uneasiness about what he had
done, and that by means of money he would obtain from
the clergy the validation of his second marriage as he
had the first: that it is necessary to prove to the public
in a striking manner that it is an erroneous impression
which is current in our country, that the clergy are
always indulgent to the powerful of the earth:—We,
Melchoir, by the grace of God, &c., Prince Archbishop
of Breslau, in virtue of our archiepiscopal functions,
and in conformity with the holy canons, but to our regret
and with a profound grief, excommunicate the said Most
Serene Prince Germain of Hatzfeld, as a public and obsti•
nate contemner and transgressor of the laws and doctrines
of the church; and we strike him with the anathema of the
church, and with all the legal consequences of that measure,
and that in the name of the Father, of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." The Breslau
papers state that the Prince of Hatzfeld, on learn-
ing that sentence of excommunication had been pro-
nounced against him, intimated his intention of
joining the Lutheran Church, but that by the advice
of his friends he abstained from doing so, because
the consequence would be that he would lose two of his
richest and most valuable lordships. The Prince of
Hatzfeld above spoken of is brother of the Prince of
Hatzfeld Schoenberg, whose liaison with the Countess !ant"
Meyendorff gave rise to a celebrated trial at Cologne 1
December last.
