LAUNCH OF THE. CAFE SORE TV STEAM-
SHIP THE QUEEN OF TIE SOUTH.
A very fine vessel was yesterday launched from the
yard of the eminent builder, Mr. Charles Mare, of
Blackwall. Precisely at three o'clock, P.M., the dog-
shores were knocked away, and the gallant vessel,
after receiving at the fair hands of Miss Ford the
poetical name of " The Queen of the South," glided
most majestically into that element where we trust
she is destined to perform souse: good service. The
Queen of the South has been built for the General
Screw Steam Navigation Company, and is intended
to convey the mails, passengers, and cargo, between
this country and the Cape, under the contract which
the company have taken. The
Queen of the South is
a very beautiful model, and reflects high credit upon
those who have designed her, and upon the company
who have had the spirit to make so noble an addition
to our mercantile screw fleet.
The dimensions of the Queen of the South are as
follow :

Feet.
•
Length between perpendiculars ... ... 240
Length of keel for tonnage 216 k
Breadth for tonnage' 39
Depth of hold 25
Burden in tons 1,752 36-94ths
She has two direct acting engines by Maudslay,
Field, and Co.,'of 300 horse power, and her rig will
assimilate as near es possible to that of H.M.S. Daunt-
less, as now fitted. The Queen of the South has
ample cabin accommodation for 120 passengers, and
is finished in a style equal to any of the crack sailing
ships of Messrs. Green, Smith, Wigram, or any other
of the large shipowners of the port of London. Sbe
will, without loss of time, take her engines on board,
and as soon as ready will be placed on the line, where
we doubt not she will amply realise all the views that
are entertained by the most sanguine supporters of the
screw principle. The Queen of the South has capa-
city for stowing about a thousand tons of cargo, and
independent of her facilities for passengers, she pos-
sesses a number of large single cabins of ample di-
mensions, which, with the others, are entirely pre•
pared for the reception of passengers, at the sole ex-
pense of the company, with every regard to as much
comfort as can be found in any ship afloat, whether
propelled by sails or steam.

THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL.
—At Cheltenham, on Thursday, Mr. Holt, the
bishop's registrar, attended and furnised each of
the clergy with a copy of his Lordship's
charge. Before the business of the visitation
was over the Rural Dean real a letter from
the Bishop, wherein he explained the cause of
his unavoidable absence (illness), And stated that in
regard to the llorfield estate, which has lately en-
gaged so large a share of public attention, it was his
intention to appropriate one moiety derivable there-
from to the augmentation of poor livings throughout
the diocese, and the second to the employment of
curates in those parishes where the advanced age of
the incumbents appeared to render such assistance ne-
cessary. Upon this latter
the opinions and art of the proposition,
however, the Bishop
sought th
sugges-
tions of his clergy, and, in order to obtain this, had
adopted the course he had done, of writing to the
Rural Dean, who, on his part, requested his brother
clergymen would consider this matter over, and com-
municate to him their views in the course of the
afternoon, that he might forward a reply to the Bishop
as soon as possible.—Gloucester Journal.

IRELAND.

THE POLICY OF THE DEFENDERS.
DUBLIN, MoriDAL—The rumour of Mr. Ilawes's
retirement from Parliament was scarcely two hours
old in Dublin before at least a dozen imaginary can-
didates were put in nomination for the representation
of the borough of Kinsale. Of these the Defenders
monopolised five-sixths, the balance being divided
between the Conservatives and the Government.
Should the vacancy actually occur, the contest • will
possess more than ordinary interest, as it will be the
first opportunity afforded to the Defence Association
towards carrying out the policy of inflicting upon the
Imperial Parliament some seventy or eighty Irish
Members pledged to thwart any Administration hostile
to the supremacy of Rome. Among the rumoured
aspirants for senatorial honours the name of Mr. Fre-
derick Lucas, of the Tablet, was classed among the
probabilities on the Roman side ; while on the part of
the Protectionists, also as a matter of course, Mr.
Butt still maintains his position as first favourite for
the race.

ODDS AND ENDS FROM NEWMARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STR,—Yesterday's racing decided the chances of more
than one nag engaged in to-day's Handicap. The Han-
dicap Plate of 501. over the Cambridgeshire Course was
a moat decisive affair, Mr. Greville's three years old
Barcelona disposing of Guy Mannering, 7st; Vatican,
Bst 10114 Retail, 7st 12lb; Mokanna, 6it 121 b; Hum-
phrey, 6st, and five others. The race was rather 'a cluse
one, Barcelona not getting up until the last stride or
two, winning by a neck only, Vatican being well up,
and Humphrey a bad fourth. In the 10 Sovs. Sweep-
stakes, Vanguard, at Bst 121 b, disposed of two more
Cambridgeshire candidates in Paquette and Knight of
Gwynne, as he won very easily by three lengths,
As I expected, Sophistry beat Coticala cleverly.
The Criterion Stakes, the principal race of
the day, was won by Red Hind, as predicted
it would be should she start, notwithstanding the pe-
nalty. Lord Exeter's Ambrose pertinaciously sticks to
the second place, although this time receiving the ar-
tistic assistance :of "our Jem ;" the Knight of the
Shire was a bad third, the great gun of Scott's stable,
Daniel O'Rourke, together with Stockwell and Bilberry
beaten off. I may as well observe that Red Hind made
her own running, and won cleverly by a length. In
the 10 Says. Sweepstakes that followed, Longinus dis-
posed of Loadstone, Newport, Turtle, and Puicherrima
somewhat easily by a length., It is expected that Her-
nandez will supersede the Nigger in the race to-day.
Falcon and Aphrodite will, perhaps, be added to the
list of starters. With regard to this great stake my
opinion remains unaltered in every respect, although
my Goodwood correspondent writes from Newmarket to
say that, if they mean it with Officious, she
might show them the way to victory. Breba still con-
tinues in immense force in the betting, after having re-
ceded for a short period to 6to 1; sto 1 is now the
highest figure to be obtained. Newminster, after having
advanced to 6to 1, has declined a point. Mountain
Deer is steady at 10 to 1, Prime Minister at 14 to 1,
Curl at 15, and Candlewick, Ariosto, and Darkie are
firm at 20 to 1 each; the Nigger somewhat unsteady at
25 to 1; Hernandez and the Italian firm at the same
price.
" Van Tromp" is informed that time is compara-
tively of but little importance as a criterion to judge a
horse's merits by; I give an instance of this—Sweet-
heart, who never did anything remarkable, except in the
two first races of his career, won the July Stakes in a
canter in three seconds less than the Flying Dutchman.
It all depends what pace is made, and how the race
is run.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
