THE TERRIBLE 01VAR STEAMER.
The Terrible war steamer is in commission and now fitting
for sea at Woolwich ; she has 20 guns mounted, also a brass
field piece and carriage, and a waggon for powder to accom-
pany it. On her upper deck, each side the bow, are two
long 56-pounders, brook's 11 feet guns, to fire fore and aft in
a line with the keel ; these are mounted on a slide, and will
andsweep
to
cross fire with each other, and also sweep round to the sides;
two
of the same guns,righotnatftheinir
pthiveostt,ernso,awsitllo firealso
cross the broadside
forward, acting as chase guns if required. She has two 68-
pounders on each broads*, to carry shells or solid shot,
which can be trained fore or abaft,
according to circum-
stances. On the deck below, which is also flush fore and
aft, are eight guns, viz., two long 56-pounders' Monk's guns,
11 feet long, in the bow ports, to fire in a line with the
keel, and also several degrees of training on the broad-
sides, and two of the same guns in the stern, right aft, which
can give such depression as to prevent even a small boat
from coming under her stern; with four guns, 68-pounders,
on her broadsides, for shells or solid shot. There are four
smaller guns on the upper deck, to be traversed to an 7 place
or carried on shore in her paddle• box boats, if required for
use in landing troops, &c. She has four separate boilers, in-
dependent of each other, which may be connected when
repaired; four funnels, one to each boiler; the two after
ones strike down, so as to allow a square mainsail to be
set when sailing, and still using the two foremost boilers,
thus working half her power, at the same timesaving a
considerable consumption of coals. This is an excellent
contrivance, as there are four small funnels, instead of one
large one, which is a great advantage, as the ship will not
be wholly disabled by losing one, two, or even three funnels,
like the one funnel ship would be on hers being carried
away ; her one funnel lost, she has lost all. The Terrible
has two magazines, and two shell• rooms, one of each before
the engine-room, and one abaft for the safety of the
vessel, to prevent any powder passing the engine-room
when firing the guns. She can store 400 tons of coals
below the lower deck, and is prepared on the midship
part of the deck to take 200 or 300 tons more, packed
in bags, as a defence from shot to the engines and boilers,
filling up a space of eighteen feet. In addition to her
thick, substantial, solid sides, she has good capacity, and if
required for any particular service can carry more coal in
sacks. With regard to the conveyance of troops, she can
berth 1,000 men under cover on her second gun-deck, inde-
pendent of her ship's company, their berth being below for-
ward, and the officers' cabins, gun-room, &c., abaft ;so that
each gun-deck is entirely clear and always ready for action,
without removing a bulkhead, and the deck being perfectly
free from the captain's cabin abaft, to the bow of the vessel.
She is constructed in the strongest and most substantial
manner, on Mr. Lang's improved method of uniting the
frame timbers, making her perfectly water-tight, so that
she would swim even if her external keel and plank were
off her bottom. This method is also adopted in the
Royal Albert, 120 guns' now in her frame, and may be
seen on the slip in Woolwich dockyard. The engine-room
of the Terrible is most splendid ; on deck, the whole
length of the engine-room, are gratings open and well-
ventilated by hatchways, giving light and air to the engi-
neers, stokers, &c. It is an admirable plan, such as no
steamer as yet had the advantage of; and each boiler has a
separate hatchway, and may be readily taken out for repair,
without interfering with the other boilers. This method of
Mr. Lang's invention prevents the necessity of ripping up
the deck, which is the case with other steamers, when the
boilet s are required to be taken out from those vessels, and
there, too, the deck, covering the boilers, the engineers and
stokers have the light admitted by the hatchway over the
engines only. The Terrible's engines are most majestic ;
they are 800-horse power, the production of Maudslay, Sons,
and Field, and show to advantage in this large war steamer.
Her decks have hatchways in various parts, scuttles, sky-
lights, &c., for ventilating the ship even to the lower parts of
her hull ; and there are many other conveniences too nu-
merous to mention, contributing to the efficiency of the ship
and the comforts of the officers and crew, so that she may
be said to be the largest and most perfect war steamer ever
built. The Terrible is commanded by Captain Ramsay, late
of the Dee steran -vessel, and she is to have a complement of
,240 officers, men, and boys.—Nautical Standard.

COLLISION ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAY.
STANSTEAD, ItEAR BISHOP'S STORTFORD, MONDAY EVEN-
lNG.—Yesterday a series of mishaps occurred on this line,
Lear to the above place, the particulars of which are as fol-
l.iws :—lt appears that shortly after one o'clock on the morn-
ing of Sunday last, as one of the trains for London was
stopping at the Stanstead station, for the purpose of having
the wheels cooled—they having tired on their journey from
Cambridge—another train came up, heavily laden, about
two hours afterwards. Through some mistake this train ran
upon the wrong line, and the consequence was that a mis-
take afterwards occurred with reference to the signals,
which proved serious, but which was, happily, not attended
with loss of life, although some injury was sustained by the
stoker to one of the trains. In consequence of the stoppage
on the line, and the porter at the station having shown a
wrong light, from the fact of the position of the laden
carriages being mistaken by him, the engine-driver appre-
hended no danger, and the consequence was that his train
(the quarter-past seven one) was propelled without check,
and the engine ran into the lirggage and beast-train, en-
tirely smashing a truck containing a large load of flour,
breaking in another, in which there were several horned
cattle intended for the London market, and materially in-
juring the engines belonging to both. The guard, it is
stated, escaped almost miraculously, he having jumped from
his seat on the ground while the train was in motion, and the
stoker was thrown off the tender with considerable force.
Fortunately no one suffered any breakage of limb, the in-
jured parties being able to walk soon after the effect of the
upset was over. The damage to the property of the com-
pany was considerable, and the rails were considerably bent
by the shock, and several of the sleepers shivered into splin-
ters. One of the carriages—that containing the sacks of
flour—which was covered with a roof of zinc, was torn
almost to pieces, the bed and wheels only remaining entire.
Two of the buffers, one before and the other behind, are
completely carried away; the off-side is broken in, and the
roof torn quite off. The engines, mutilated as they were
were with some difficulty got to Bishop's Stortford, in the
course of Sunday, and it was not until quite afternoon that
the line was cleared. The damaged carriages remain where
the accident occurred, nor will they be removed until after
the examination, officially made, by the directors.:d This
' (Monday) afternoon workmen are employed consoli

PRICE AND SUPPLY OF POTATOES IN TEE LONDON
MARKETS.—The supply of potatoes to the various markets
continue undiminished, and the majority are of an excellent
quality, but the prices are considerably higher. During Sa-
turday the general price, wholesale, was as follows ;—York-
shire Reds, 8s to 9s. per cwt.; American Kidneys, 9s. and 10& ;
Champions (inferior kind), 6s. to 7s. per 112 lbs. ; a small
quantity were offered at ss. 6d., but were of a very bad con-
dition, in consequence of the prevalent disease. Retail,the
price of potatoes are, the cheapest, 3 lb. for 2id., and the
finest 2d. to 2id. per lb. The price having increased to such
an extent, the consumption is reduced nearly two. thirds.
ROBBERY AT ORIEL COLLEGE.—Yesterday informa-
tion was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City police of an
extensive robbery of jewellery, plate, &c., which took place
at the above college, at Edinburgh, between the evening of
the 20th and the morning of the 22d instant.
PRICE or GOLD.—On the 20th instant the price of
gold in Hamburgh was 4341 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13 93; and the exchange at Hamburgh on
London, at short date, being 13 11i, it results that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgb.
On the 23d instant the premium on gold at Paris was
12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. '
10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 45, and the exchange at Paris on London, at short
date, being 25 57k, it results that gold is 0.50 per cent. dearer
in London than in Paris.
PREMATURE BURIAL.—At a late sitting of the Paris
Academy of Sciences, M. Le Guern pointed out the danger
of enforcing the regulation for interment within the short
period of time now allowed. The author says, he has ascer-
tained that since the year 1833 not less than 94 premature
burials have been prevented by accidental causes. Thirt'-
five of the persons supposed to be dead had awoke from their
lethargy at the moment when their coffins were about to be
nailed down ; 13 had been recovered by care ; 7 by the upe•
setting of the coffins in which they had been placed; 9 b 7
incisions or punctures in pinning their shrouds; 19 by ear;
dental delays in the ceremony of interment; 6 byodel_ 7 _
which had been created purposely by their friendpasoa
