THE SHIP TERRIBLE.

The following copy of " Report of Captain Ramsay, of the
Terrible, relative to her qualifications," has been printed
by order of the House of Cominons
Her Majesty's steam-ship Terrible,
Spithead, Bth April, 1846.
Sir,—ln obedience to the orders of the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty, on Sunday, at two r.ar., of the
sth inst., I left Greenhithe with the Terrible, and proceeded
down the river Thames; at half-past six we anchored at the
entrance of Queeen's Channel, as it appeared to me that it
would be expedient to ascertain whether our various fittings
could be easily and expeditiously removed, and also to try
all our guns, as well as those placed in the stern and bow.
Early on Monday morning we cleared ship for quarters. I
caused all the guns with the distant charges and shotted to
be fired once, and the bow and stern gtrae twice.
I have now to report, that the bow and stern guns can be
fired with perfect safety. The first time we fired the bow
gun it was six seconds from the line of keel; the second time
it was laid geometrically the same as the line of keel, both
times shotted with distant charges of powder. The concus-
sion was so slight that there is no retsson why the bow guns
should not be tired in the usual routine of exercise.

The first time that We6;atite-stern gun it was laid hori-
zontally ; the second time with a degree and a half eleva-
tion, distant charge and shotted ; neither time did it occa-
sion any such damage as would ever prevent us using the
stern guns on proper occasions. At the same time, as it has
now been ascertained that they can be fired with perfect
safety, unless there was some object to be gained, it is pre-
ferable to use the broadside main-deck guns. It is hardly
necessary to make a remark upon the rest of the main-deck
guns, as there is no reason to doubt their being placed on a
deck which is every way suited for action. The ship ap-
pears to carry them well, and what we now require is a suffi-
cient number of men to work them.
We passed through the Downs on Monday at 5 P.M., and
arrived here at 9 A.M. on Tuesday, performing the distance
with two boilers, against strong breezes and a head sea. It
would indeed be premature to give at ty decided opinion upon
the qualities of the Terrible, after sui th very short trials.. A
ship like this would require to be tesl:ed by long voyages in
the open sea, where every advantage could be taken of her
sailing qualities; at the same time th ere is reason at present
to expect that after future trials we s.taall find the following
result :

1. That, considering the weight carrifed, she is fast.
2. That she is at present in good triza, and 200 tons more
coal may be put on board with perfect security.
3. She appears an easy ship with the steam up.
4. Carries the main-deck guns well.
5. Her engines are excellent, and iin general will not re-
quire near her full power.
Our consumption of coals between the Downs and Spithead
was at an average of 45 tons per day ; but it may be ob-
served that our present coals are a very' quick-burning coal,
not at all adapted for the tubular boilers, which ought to
have Welsh.
Their Lordships have also desired me to report particularly
upon the steering of the Terrible. Goiing under eight knots
she steers easily, two men being sufficient at the wheel;
above that she requires three and sometimes four, and
attention.
At the same time it must be recolle,:ted that the Terrible
is upwards of 1,500 tolls; and when a ship of that size goes
upwards of 11 knots, in all instanwces.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—..j commission de lunatico
inquirenck) was held at the Sheriff's Court, _Red Lion-square, on
Saturday, before Mr. Barlow, to inquire into the state of mind of
Major Charles Harrison Staniland, aged 58, of Dalkon, Middlesex.
From the evidence it appeared that the unforintuate gentleman is a
bachelor, and is possessed of 60,0001,, consistin g of money in the
Funds, houses, shares in the East London Waterworks, &c. 1111843
he was attacked with apoplectic fits, and bad been subject to similar
attacks since that time, which had produced paralysis, and a total
loss of memory, and ultimately organic disecac of the brain, which
rendered him incapable of taking care of himeielf. One of his delu-
sion, was a belief that his brother, who died eight years since, was
alive, and in withholding the settlement of his ordinary accounts,
a though he had been most punctual beforehand. 'Major Staniland
was present during the inquiry, and In answer to a question as to his
Property, said he had a" power" of money in the Bunk of England,
but he din not know how much. He was then shown a copy of a
newspaper, and asked to read it, when he missed several lines, and
otherwise made such confusion that the jury returned a verdict,
" That Major Charles Harrison Staniland was of unsound mind, and
had been so slues the 20th of May, 1840."

STocK EXCHANGE.-The aspect of the Share Markets continues far
from encouraging, all scrip stocks having receded In value during the
week, and registered shares having in several instances partaken of
he depression. Rumours of difficulties in the Government, and an
increasing opinion that a dissolution of Parliament may shortly take
place, renders the prospect of affairs rather doubtful ; indeed on the
fate cf the Corn Bill during the ensuing week hinges in a great
measure the present prospects of the share trade. The Money
Market is rather tighter, and higher rates of interest demanded. The
" wind-up" meetings present no new features; all, or nearly all, the
proprietaries persist in continuing their applications for Bills, aid
thus negative the legislation on which such strong hopes were
founded. The sales are-Eastern Counties, York Extension, 10s.

FEATHERED QUADRUPED.—An egg was hatched
last Saturday, under a hen, the property of Mr. William
Barsby, Bunker's-hill, the produce of which was a chicken
with four legs, two of which are in the usual place, while the
supernumeraries, as if ashamed of their own ridiculous selves,
endeavour to conceal themselves under the tail—we are
forced to add with very indifferent success. And yet they
are not a bad pair of legs, complete in every particular—
claws, legs, and thighs to match ; and certainly, if it had
only these, no chicken need be ashamed of its locomotive en-
dowment. Nor do these constitute the only singularity at-
tached to this winged quadruped ; we are assured by its
owner that it has actually managed to return from " that
bourne" wherefrom, according to Will Shakspere, no tra-
veller returns." ut then the poet never calculated on such
extraordinary pedestrian facilities; with four legs it woad
be a pity if a chicken could not accomplish a little more than
its relations can, who are compelled to put up with two. The
fact is, that on Sunday last, Mr. Barsby locked up the pro-
digy with its mother, in an upper room, during his temporal:
absence from home ; but on his return Sound it, to his Neat
concern and disappointment, lying apart from its maternal pa-
rent and the rest of the feathered family on the cold plaster floor.
If ever a chicken appeared dead, that did ; it was handled by
numerous visitants, whom curiosity impelled to the place, al"d
their unanimous verdict was, that it was as dead as a door
nail. Its owner, deeply lamenting its untimely end, threw
it upon a shelf, where it lay for some time, until fetched
down again by female curiosity. Mrs. Barsby, not having
previously inspected the phenomenon to her entire satisfac-
tion, repaired to the chamber of death, and proceeded to corn"
plete the examination ; but had not held the deceased in her
hand long, before :it all at once exhibited undoubted
symptoms of vitality, at which surprising circumstance
the good woman declares she felt " as if she should sink
through the floor." This latter event, however, did not ensue,
as it happened ; the chicken progressed rapidly in its
course
to full animation, and was so far advanced towards perfect
convalescence by Sunday night, as to feel itself quite ade-
quate to the performance of numerous small chirps. We
can assure cur readers the illustrious bird is now in very
likely circumstances; we have been favoured with a per-
sonal inspection of it, and can cheerfully bear witness in
court of justice, if required, to the fact that the surprising
creature, legs and all, is alive, and kicking.—Nottingham
Review,

THE BATTLES OF ALIWAL AND SOBRAON.- TWO
paintings, in illustration of these recent events, are now on
exhibition at the Cosmorama Rooms, Regent-street, and
have, we believe, in consequence of the interest felt in the
event, already attracted a considerable number of visitors-
In the first painting the time chosen is that of the charge Of
the 16th Lancers upon a square of Seikh infantry, which
by the determined onset of her Majesty's troops, is broken
and thrown into disorder. The Sutlej is seen in the distance,
and the general character of the surrounding country is well
described. The second picture, pourtraying the battle of
Sobraon, is by far the best of the two. We here see the
death of Sir Henry Dick, who is represented to have fallen
amongst a crowd of the brave soldiers who are rushing to
storm the batteries of the enemy. The 10th Regiment is
charging up to the cannon's mouth, and a murderous dis-
charge of grape and round shot seems to have swept
lane through the unyielding mass of the attacking party-
The horrors of this field of blood and slaughter are
brought, by means of this picture, more truly before the
spectator than it is possible to effect by a written descrir
twn. In the rear of the enemy the smooth waters of the
Sutlej wind across the _plain, shortly to be tinged with
Seikh blood, and to carry along with it, like the Simeon],
the numerous bodies, shields, and helmets of the vanquished.
The deadly conflict of Sobraon is one which confirms our
power over the Seikhs, and it is nothing more than right that
makes the
every Englishman should avail himself of such means as are
within his reach to enable him to understand'the
him to set a proper value upon their services. v

REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY.
COGNAC BRANDY, like the vine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is
the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal rroperties ; while, if adulterated with British
Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and
Invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory
spirit.

The great difticulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy,
And the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many
Pe/sons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may
be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex-
Pett a great increase In the consumption.

To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. t4EIGNETTE has determined to
Avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy
trade as an importer. Be holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy,
pale and brown, in this country, and, Is accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a
Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of
It in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges him-
self to sell none but the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im-
ported, and carefully selected.
To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be
satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fla-
grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent,
and frequently adulterated spirit until nowimposed on the public, he
recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the
superior quality of his Brandy.
Mr. seignette begs also to offer to the Public the best Hollands'
Geneva that can be imported•
in quantities not less than two gallons

Among the many discoveriesthat characterise the present age, none
have contributed 0 much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the Impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the egicacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of
'any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the Stomach,
brain, or other vital part.

THE WINTER COAT AND THE
SUMMER COAT.
A winter coat and one for summer weather
Were heard the other day, in chat together.
Pray can you tell me (said the Winter Dress)
Why I am artily noticed less and less ?
A short time back (as no one disbelieves)
I and my master were as thick as thieves.
On all occasions he would put me on,
And say I made him look a downright don
And often would my master condescend
To designate me as his faithful friend.
But things are alter'd now. What shall I do ?
I cannot tell the reason, Sir, can yea ?"
" Yes (said the other), I have got your place ;
There's nothing more than common in your case.
Our master read of MOSES" summer wrappers,
And knowing they were nothing short of cappers,
He went to MOSES 'newly open'd Mart,
And purchas'd one particularly Smart.
I am the very coat he bought of MOSES.
You see what style my modern make discloses.
MOSES and SON have pleas'd him TO, with me,
That you are quite forgotten, don't you see ?
Besides, I'm suited to the summer season,
And that's, of course, a most important reason,
The cold of winter now is far remote,
And hence our master needs a summer coat."

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Bill for incorporating the
Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the
House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with
the least possible delay.
A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with
the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament,
at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company
should be represented.
Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge
their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt
for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the
Meeting, viz. :
Mr. John Marr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament-street,
Westminster; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W. S., Princes-street,
Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street,
Glasgow.
In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western
Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to reduce the amount
of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a
Very considerable extent.
The project, as now lhnited, consists, tint, of the Branch from
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,

as the traffic cannot he completely developed until after the com-

Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon-
veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls.
