NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, Nov. 19.—0 n Sunday last, a little before
noon, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Achilles was telegraphed, and, notwithstanding the
roughness of the weather, she gallantly breasted the
waves, and gained the great harbour at half-past two
o'clock, having at her main a red ensign, indicating that
Sir P. Stuart, Governor of Malta, was on board. On
the vessel taking up her moorings, she was immediately
visited by Mr.,Bonavia, superintendent of quarantine and
marine police, accompanied by his assistant, Mr. Fenech,
who, after the usual interrogataries, gave pratique to the
steamer.
By the arrival of the French steamer Longsor, on the
14th inst., advice, from Bombay to the 15th ult. were
received here, having arrived at Alexandria on the 10th
inst., and forwarded. The bulk of the mails arrived by
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental
this day.
The Lengsor pursued her voyagelto Marseilles on the
day of her arrival.
The Neapolitan steamer Mongibello left port for
Naples and ports of Sicily on the evening of the 13th
instant.
On the 15th inst. the French mercantile steamer
Hellespont arrived here with passengers from Mar-
seilles. She encountered very severe weather, and
received some damage, of a very inconsiderable nature,
however. _

The Hellespont left port for the Levant on the follow-
ing day.
The French merchant steamer Bosphore, from the
Levant, also arrived on Sunday last.
The English steamer Levantine, from the Levant, ar-
rived here on the 16th instant, and continued her route
to Liverpool on the same day.
Her Majesty's steamer Spitfire, with the Indian mail
sent through France, arrived on the 16th; London letters
of the 7th instant were received by this occasion.
The French steamer Lycurgue, with mails for Mar-
seilles, touching at ports of Italy and Sicily, left port on
the morning of the 16th instant.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Arinl, which has relieved the Iberia on this station, left
port on the 16th instant for Alexandria, with mails and
passengers for India, received by the Achilles, via
Southampton, and the Spitfire from Marseilles.
By the Spitfire orders were, it is reported, received to
send home her Majesty's ship Inconstant, to be relieved
by the America.
The Amiralty have also ordered an inquiry into the
report made from Malta of an unusual degree of punish-
ment having been inflicted on board the Amazon. That
ship is ordered to join the fleet of Sir W. Parker in the
waters he now cruises in. _ _ _

Orders are equally given for the Hecla to be relieved
by the Gladiator, the Locust, the Jackal, and Blood-
hound steamers, all on this station, to be sent home with
the least possible delay.
Her Majesty's ship Tyne is ready for sea. She will
be paid off on her arrival in England. In mentioning
her departure, it is gratifying to report her one of the
finest crafts ever seen in these waters. It is not less gra-
tifying to add, that a black list has never been known
during the three years and a half she was commissioned
by Captain Gescock, nor has a man ever been put
in irons.

The French steamer Tancride, from Marseilles and
ports of Laly, arrived here on the 17th instant, and
proceeded on the evening of the same day to the Levant.
The French steamer Zaire, from Marseilles direct,
arrived here also on Tuesday last, and proceeded on the
same day to Alexandria and Beyrout.
PouTsmouTa, Nov. 29.—The Rattlesnake surveying-
vessel, Captain Owen Stanley, having had her com-
passes adjusted, will go out to Spithead to-morrow. The
Lord Bish.lp of Norwich (her gallant captain's father)
read prayers, and delivered a most eloquent and suitable
discourse this morning, to the officers and crew.
By the latest advices, we learn that the Inflexible
steam sloop, Commander Hoseason, made the passage
out from Plymouth to the Cape of Good Hope in fifty
days, without coaling on the way. It will be remem•
bered that the very unfavourable news brought by the
Mutine, 12-gun brig, Commander Crawford, of the
dreadful, head to which the Kafir insurrection had ar-
rived, caused the Inflexible to be hurried away without
even allowing time for her necessary equipment, and a
most unusual step was taken to hasten her departure—
viz , her crew were paid their advance wages on a Sun-
day, the 9th of August, on which day, at 9 A.M., she
left Devonport for her destination. A Cape paperin-
terestingly details the voyage out thus :
" The Inflexible is the first steamer that has ever
sailed direct for the Cape without calling anywhere.
She has steamed a distance of 5,500 miles (sailing the
remaining distance) on the small quantity of fuel origi-
nally taken on board when she was expected to join the
experimental squadron of steamers, the whole being only
390 tons—her coal-bunkers not even being filled, as she
was started without her commander having been af-
forded time to get the quantity of fuel on board which
he deemed necessary, namely, 80 tons more; the want of
which, it is estimated, has protracted the voyage 10 days.
Notwithstanding this drawback, the voyage has been
completed in about the shortest time taken by a mer-
chant steamer (calling at several ports on the way), and
in considerably less time than aay other man-of-war
steamer has yet been: able to accomplish it, although
with a much greater expenditure of fuel, purchased on
the way at an enormous cost, the contract price at ;Ma-
deira being 51. per ton. Had even 80 tons been purchased
there, the cost would have been greater than that of all
the coal she had originally on board, as the contract
price to Government in England is about 16s. per ton.
.Apart from the fact of the voyage having been done in less
time than that taken by any other steamer, our colonial
readers will rejoice to perceive the energy and prompti-
tude with which this vessel was dispatched, as shown
in the saving of Monday, by running her out on the
coals already shipped, and which would probably have
sufficed had she not encountered weather particularly
unfavourable, not having experienced any N.E. trade
to help her engines, as is invariably counted on at or near
Madeira. She was consequently obliged to steam with-
out intermission across the line, and into the S.E. trade,
before she could be placed under sail; steaming without
stopping her engines 3,859 miles!"
The Inflexible is a steamer built upon the design of
Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, of 1,124
tons, and 378 horse •power, built at Pembroke in 1844,
this being her first trip. She arrived at Table Bay on
the morning of the 28th of September, where she landed
Lieutenant-Colonels M'Kinnon, Montrevor, Nicholls,
and Napier, and Majors Stocks, Whitnall, and O'Grady,
and Mrs. O'Grady ; also 55,000/. in specie, arms, &c. ;
then went round to Simon's Bay to refit, prior to leaving
for New Zealand.

The Hydra steam -sloop, Commander Young, sent in
a fine prize slaver to St. Helena for adjudication on the
6th ult.—the Amelia.

The Sealark, 10, Commander Gooch, sailed from St.
Helena on the 14th ult. for a cruise. She took into St.
Helena a prize on the 7th, named the Tarracona.
The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Lysaught, arrived yesterday morning from Woolwich.
She is intended for the coast of Africa, and takes out
Captain Hutton, to succeed Commander Morrell in the
Governorship of the Island of Ascension. She will
come into harbour to-day to complete fuel, and make
good defects, after which she will be paid advance at
this port.
The Belleisle, 72, troop-ship, Captain Kingcome, sailed
from St. Helen's on Friday night for Devonport.
The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, was
towed into harbour on Friday. It is expected she will
be paid off.
The 2E.Aus, Provision depot, Master-Commander
Thomas, has arrived from Sheerness.
The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, had her com-
passes tried on Friday, and will be ready to go out of
harbour to-day.

During the past week 700 charges, of 101 b. each, for
shotted 32-pounders, mounted round these walls have
been made up in this garrison, and are deposited. in the
magazines at the Queen's bastion, ready for use. We
mentioned the order for their supply some weeks since.
It is understood to be the intention of the Board of
Ordnance to remove the laboratory from its present site
near the extremity of the Portsea lines to a spot at
Hardway, on the Gosport side of the harbour.
The Myrtle steam•dispatch-boat, Second Master-
Commander Battiston, conveyed dispatches to Osborne
yesterday, which arrived from London by express.
APPOINTMENTS.—AIexander J. Cambier, Naval Cadet,

DISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN A RAILWAY
PACKAGE.—NoTTINGRAisi, FRIDAY.—About nineteen
days ago, a wicker basket was booked at the railway
station in this town, and was sent off in a regular way
by train to London. The person bringing the basket
particularly requested that it might not be placed out-
side the carriage, nor crushed, and if possible it might
be put inside upon a seat along with the passengers, as
it was to be conveyed with great care. The parcels
office being at the time rather thronged, the porter,
Willoughby, did not take particular notice of the per-
son giving him the directions, but to the best of his
recollection it was a female, rather low in stature, and
of a dark complexion. Yesterday (Thursday) the basket
having been refused was brought back to the station
by the mail train arriving at half-pa,t two o'clock in
the morning, and, according to custom, when an owner
for a parcel cannot be found, Willoughby opened the
basket, when, to his utter amazement, he found a dead
infant. Its mouth appeared to have had considerable
moisture in it, which had become quite mouldy and
green. Underneath the infant was a quantity of cloths
and straw, and a letter addressed to " W. J. Smith, Esq.,
Suffolk." The letter was in a decent handwriting, and
from a young female in a village within six miles of
Nottingham, and after requesting that the father of the
infant would take care of it, warned him against seducing
any one as he had done her. The basket with the child
and letter were immediately handed over to the police.
An inquest was held by Mr. Coroner Browne, on Satur-
day last, at the watchhouse, Nottingham, on the body
of the child. No clue, however, to either the mother or
the party to whom the parcel was directed having yet
been discovered, the inquiry was adjourned sine die, to
allow further search to be made.

THE STEAM NAVY.
(From the Times.)
Skill and perseverance have triumphed over the per-
tinacious resistance of matter, and the Portsmouth
authorities, as has been duly reported, have succeeded
this week in subduing her Majesty's steam-ships Avenger
and Retribution into four hours' utility and obedience.
Both vessels consented to be taken out for an airing, and
returned in a satisfactory temper, without having either
stubbornly refused to stir, or ruptured themselves by too
impetuous an exertion of their strength. It is obvious
that no ships in the world know better how to behave
themselves than ours, whenever their capricious tempers
happen to be in some degree conformable. Lest the
remarks which we, from time to time, think fit to make
upon this point should be misunderstood, we readily
avow that it is with no wish to disparage any particular
system, or to depreciate the difficulties in the way of
complete success, that we call public notice to failures
which are, indeed, something rather more than occa-
sional. A new element has been introduced into navi-
gation, naval architecture, and naval warfare ; we
have, fortunately, as yet had little necessity for putting
our inventions into practice, and we can only be
guided by the results of such experiments as can be
made with the nearest imitation of reality. Excellence
is no more likely to come by intuition in the construc-
tion of steam-frigates than in any other department of
science. We must make indulgences for the rudimen-
tary epoch of the system. We know, perhaps, little
what steam can do; certainly we know little what it will
do. It may transfigure the aspect of naval warfare, or
it may, as is sometimes suspected, prove considerably
less influential. It is obviously safer, however, to act on
the former hypothesis, and this we can hardly do with-
out some uneasiness and dissatisfaction at our present
plight. We have not made sufficient progress. What-
ever may be the explanation of the fact—whether the
difficulties of construction and adaptation increase in a
greater ratio than the mere scale of the ship—or whether
we have at some point taken a wrong turn=it is cer-
tain that we have by no means improved in proportion to
our efforts or our experience. The two little Deptford
vessels of 1822—the Comet and the Lightning—are no-
toriously better craft, of their class, than those that
have been built since; and it is hardly too much to say
that the latest specimens of our skill are the least suc-
cessful ; so that an inference might be drawn, with,
apparent plausibility, that we were actually retro-
grading. Moreover, in the single real trial, and in the
most decisive of the experiments, to which our steamers
have been subjected, the result has been unfavourable.
At Acre they answered less than any other class the
expectations that had been formed of the new system of
warfare, and in our squadrons of evolution they are
pretty invariably found wanting. They put us to great
cost, and produce no adequate return. They don't sail,
and it is surmised they won't fight. We build them of
wood, and find that they won't float; we build them of
iron, and find that a single shot may possibly send them
to the bottom. Whether these deficiencies are the
attributes of our steamers or of abstract steamers,
we do not take upon ourselves to pronounce; but the
question is one of immense importance, and its public
discussion must tend to bring us more nearly to the
truth, and to diminish the cost of the investigation.
A pamphlet, from which we published an extract a
few days back, upon the engines of our steam-navy,
points to an element in the consideration of these
matters sometimes neglected. It is possible that the
fault may, at all events occasionally, lie exclusively in
the engine-room, that the construction of the vessel may
be admirable, and that she may be unexceptionably
manned and handled, and yet be half her time imperfect,
and the other half incapable, owing to the mistakes of
the manufacturer, after she had left the surveyor's
hands. Though the writer of the pamphlet does not
conceal his personal interest in questioning the plan by
which engines have been supplied to the navy, yet his
statements and arguments are liable to the less suspicion
in so far as they are allowably founded on official returns
made to the House of Commons upon Captain Gore's
motion for that purpose some time ago. It is there
shown that the engines furnished by one particular
house, in two cases out of the five included in the returns,
were actually incapable of duty for the respective pe-
riods of 393 and 353 days out of a service of three
years ; while in two other cases the engines from ano-
ther manufactory were only invalided for 38 and 51
days each, and yet that the latter house obtained scarcely
any share of Government favours compared with the
former. Unhappily, though these returns were made in
1843. they are particularly apropos to 1846, as may be
seen by our naval intelligence week after week. The
effect still remains, whatever may be the existing- cause.
It is, undoubtedly, in the highest degree desirable that
the benefits arising from the free play of public com-
petition should not be lost to so material an item of
public expense, and so important an object of national
excellence. If the best engines can be supplied on the
Clyde, they should come from the Clyde ; nor can we
conceive it possible that the Admiralty can be without
statistical returns setting beyond a doubt the facts
requisite to form a judgment on this point. Those
engines which are proved to do the most work with the
least coals and fewest repairs are the engines with which
our steam-ships should be fitted ; and this discovery
can be made, we should imagine, without any fear of
bias or delusion from ex parte statements or professions.
The responsibility upon this head. however, is not en-
tirely shifted from the shoulders of the Surveyor of the
Navy ; for, independently of that supervision which he
may be presumed to exercise, the future quality of the
engines is materially affected by the conditions which
he imposes on the manufacturer. Limits as to space and
weight must of course be attended to, but it is said that
they have been assigned somewhat arbitrarily during
our magnanimous experiments, and that the results have
been found detrimental. And there is one point con-
nected with these discussions which common humanity
forces peremptorily on our notice. We now employ
steamers pretty generally on the African coast, and the
climate to which these vessels may be thus destined
should be at least as much considered in their construc-
tion as the curious speculations of a naval architect. A
premium has lately been set upon small engine-rooms,
and the authorities have been humoured on this head
with very little regard to the lives of the unfortunate
engineers. But let our readers only imagine the conse-
quences of superadding to the deadly plagues of our
slave-trade service a confinement for two-thirds of the
day to a small furnace-hole ! The place, in its own
nature, is as little like earth as possible, and we surely
need not lend it the appliances of our caprice to effect a
more complete transformation.

take place on Wednesday next, when Handel's Solomon
will be performed.
A CHRISTIAN'S LIBERALITY TOWARDS A JEWISH
CHABITY.—It is with the liveliest sense of gratification
that we record the following act of liberality by
a Christian gentleman towards a Jewish Institu-
tion. An application having been made by the Build-
ing Committee of the Jews' Orphan Asylum to
James Chadwick, Esq., requesting that gentleman
to lay down pavement on the grounds attached
to the building, and to inform them what the expense
would be for the same, Mr. Chadwick was pleased to
state in reply, that, if the committee would allow him, he
would be happy to do the work required, without any
charge to the charity, as it would afford him pleasure to
give his assistance in so good a cause. This expression of
kindness and benevolence was readily accepted by the
committee, who acknowledged it with sincere and grat- ful
thanks, requesting that the donor would allow his name
to be recorded as an honorary life governor of the
charity ; and, in commemoration of this act of benevo-
lence, resolutions were adopted by them to the following
effect:—That the following resolutions be transmitted by
letter to James Chadwick, Esq., for his munificent do-
nation :—Resolved, in order to mark the sense
of the committee of the above institution of the liberality
and benevolence of James Chadwick, Esq., in paving
at his own expense the court-yard, and other parts of
the premises, that his name be enrolled up ni the list of
Life Governor* of this Charity. 2nd. That the name
end circumstances attending the munificent donation of
James Chadwick, Esq. to this institution, be engraved
on some conspicuous part of the pavement, to per-
petuate the before-mentioned act, and to be inscribed
in the following terms:—The entire pavement of these
premises was presented and laid down at the sole ex-
pense of James Chadwick, Esq., a Life Governor of
this Charity.—November 15, 1846.—Jewish Chronicle.
THE COBDEN TESTIMONIAL.—The committee for
managing the Liverpool contribution to the Cobden 'und
have decided upon closing it on the 31st of December—
a circumstance to which we must emphatically direct
the public attention, because, so far, this town has not
yet acquitted itself of the duty it owes to the cham-
pion of free trade. Thousands who peruse these lines
are already better off, and will for years obtain aug-
mented profits in their business compared with what
would have been their success in life had not the great
measure of 1646 been carried ; and although many were
the labourers in the field, to whom the harvest of a nation's
prosperity will be owing, yet Richard Cobden was the one
leader whose argumentative plough penetrated the most
stubborn soil, and whose well-scattered seeds of thought
have quickened into growing intelligence throughout
the length and breadth of the land. All men owe him
a substantial compliment—something in requital of his
labour, and as monetary first fruits of their gain. Many
have subscribed handsomely, but others have, hitherto,
held backthat fromthey the work. Ti) the latter we now ap-
peal,may no longer be forgetful of what

nity. It will, in future years, be a reminiscence

CAUSES OF HASTE AND CARELESSNESS IN BUILD-
ING.—We have on various occasions pointed out the im•
perfect manner in which bricklaying is now performed
in England, and the causes which have led to this state
of things. " Operatives, speaking generally, have ceased
to feel interested in the production of good work ; all
they desire is to get over the ground, and very often
this is the case with their masters too." " Hasty bad
work, induced by competition and the operations of spe-
culative builders, has become so much the habit of our
bricklayers, that it is difficult to find men capable of
producing superior work; or, at all events, it is difficult
to induce them to abandon their hasty, careless mode of
proceeding., and exercise the skill they possess." Use
begets indifference : whatever has answered the purpose
once, will do so again, it is thought; and so men go on,
house after house, in the same defective course, without
once thinking of its inefficienc?, or making any efforts
at improvement. The wonder is, not that an accident
does occasionally, too often, indeed, occur, but that
structures se raised should stand at as.—The Builder.

QIMCO'S ESSENCJ of LINSEED is the most
efficacious remedy ever scovered for the relief ofpersons suf
fering from irfluenza ; the two first doses generally arrest the pro-
gress of this distressing complaint, and a little perseverance com-
pletely removes it. Children's cattails, as well as recent ones in
adults, will be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), Nnd
asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in
bed, have received the utmost benefit from the use of Simco's
Essence of Linseed.
