Pacific to the whole of the Australian colonies and
Asia generally. Sailing ships, in returning from
the Australian colonies or from the south of the
Equator, would return by the westerly winds below
the tropic, and then through the Isthmus of Panama
by the West India Islands, and taking the course
home followed by the West India traders, thus avoid-
ing the Cape of Good Hope and also Cape Horn.
That the opening of the Isthmus of Suez would
not have the same advantage he believed, for the
reasons assigned by Mr. Stephenson, viz., the dangers
of that narrow navigation of the Mediterranean,
the Red Sea, and also the Indian Ocean. Therefore,
the open route to India was preferable for commerce

f
from London to Canton, viii Panama, would be
13:700 miles on the globe. From London to Canton,
v
railway, would be about 10,000 miles. The nearest
possible line from New York to Canton, via Panama,
was 11,200 miles. Mr. Whitney said that with re-
gard to his Pacific Railway, the country for 700 or
800 miles to the westward of the line to which rail-
ways had yet been carried was almost level ; but then
he stated that the region which succeeded that level
country was at an elevation of some 7,000 feet. Now,
a rise from a level country to a height of 6,000 or
7,000 feet was an elevation altogether unprecedented
in railway enterprise. A rise of some hundreds of
feet was a formidable obstacle to the engineer ; but
to carry a railway through a wild and totally unin-
habited country, advancing ten miles at a time,
would take a very considerable number of years to
complete the first 700 or 800 miles. Then, again,
with regard to the transport of goods, there
was little likelihood of a transhipment, because with
the power of steam in the present day water carriage
of any distance was a very small expense, and the
time was certain ; therefore the prospect of commer-
cial remuneration in the sequel appeared to be very
remote. But he thought Mr. Whitney was mistaken
in saying that the voyage could be made from Oregon
or Vancouver's Island, across to Canton, with equal
facility either way. Toe voyage could be made from
the west side to America without difficulty ; but
from the trade winds the voyage in the contrary di•
rection was attended with great difficulty. However
valuable the project, therefore, might be to the United
States, it could not possibly be of use to Europe
and the Asiatic world. It seemed to him to be a
question more relating to the United States and the
Canadas than to Europe. He had made these remarks
with the view of eliciting observations from other
gentlemen.
The Rev. C. G. NICOLAY said the point in which
he differed with Mr. Whitney was as to the greater
facility of constructing li!s proposed railway through
United States territory than through British. He
had no doubt if Mr. Whitney got his route that the
whole of the land would be settled very shortly.
But he preferred the northern route for the rail-
way to the southern, believing that in our territory
there were greater mineral resources, and that large
fields of labour would be opened up there. Doubt-
less a great project of that description ought to be for
the benefit of the whole world ; but he could not but
see that if Mr. Whitney's original plan were carried
out, ail the local advantage and profit would go to the
United States. _ _ _

Retired Captains Arthur Philip Hamilton, Daniel

the rank of retired rear-admirals, but without increase
of pay.
Captain Houston Stewart, C.B. (1817), one of the
Lords of the Admiralty, is now the senior captain on
the active list.

By the promotion of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe the
appointment of a naval aide-de-camp to the Queen
reverts to the patronage of the First Lord of the Ad- •
miralty.
Captain R. L. Baynes, C.B. (1833), becomes one
of the senior captains, and Captain W. H. Henderson,
C.B. (1838), comes within the second senior list.
ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA FLAG-SHIP WEL..
LESLEY.—The Wellesley, 72, Captain George Gold-
smith, with the flag of Admiral the Earl of Dun-
donald, G.C.B. (blue at the main), arrived at Spit-
head on Tuesday, from Bermuda, having been re-
lieved by the Cumberland, 70,Vice-Admiral Sir
George Seymour. The Wellesley came in through
the Needles—not a common passage for a ship of the
line. The Gallant Admiral landed at Portsmouth
late in the evening. The Sprightly, stearn-tender,
was placed yesterday at the disposal of the Noble and
Gallant Admiral, and he landed at the dockyard about
eleven o'clock, accompanied by Captain Goldsmith
and his flag-lieutenant, to pay,his respects to the port
admiral, the Hon. Sir Bladen ...ape!. Lord Dundonald
dined at the George Hotel, Portsmouth, yesterday,
and it was expected would strike his flag at sunset,
the Wellesley proceeding to §peerness, where the
shin will b 3 paid off.

Colonel LLOYD said it would take 220 years to com-
plete this project, and we could not afford to wait so
long as that. Besides, it would place the whole of
our commerce at the mercy of the United States and
of our own North American colonies. Another ob-
jection was, that all our merchandise coming from the
tropics, the East Indies, China, and all those parts,
would have to traverse so vast an extent of country,
and having arrived at New York or Nova Scotia,
would have then to undergo the transit to England by
a passage which was the most injurious of all to goods
during three or four months in the year.
Major CARMICHAEL SMYTH thought the project
ought not to be exclusively regarded as a route for
commerce, but also as affording employment and
facilities for the settlement of the people. It had been
said it would only benefit Canada and the United
States, but what was au advantage to Canada he could
not but regard as equally a benefit to England.
Mr. VIGNOLES thought they must be content to take
the ocean as the cheapest and most economical of high-
ways, but he was not the less thankful for the magni-
ficent idea brought before the society that evening,
which came well from the great country to which Mr.
Whitney belonged.
Mr. T. SAUNDERS advocated the carrying out the
project through British territory for the settlement of
our surplus population, and to divert the stream of
emigration from the United States.
Mr. A. CA1%11,13E1,1, supported the same view.
Sir EDWARD BELCHER, R.N., considered the pro-
ject untenable as a route for commerce, and thought
that if the land was settled, and gold should be found
in the interior, the gold would not pay for the expense
of carriage to the coast.
Mr. WHITNEY briefly replied, observing that the
question had been greatly misunderstood, in the dis-
cussion having been turned into a capital and dividend
question, with which it had nothing to do, its main
objects being settlement and civilization.
The cordial thanks of the society were awarded to
Mr. Whitney for his interesting paper, and the meet-
ing separated.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 11.—The Megmra, 10, iron.
screw steam-frigate, left Sheerness on Saturday last,
and worked very satisfactorily until Mr. Humphrys,
chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, quitted her,
after satisfying himself that the machinery was in
good order, according to external appearance and
working capability • but he had not left the vessel,
long to return to Woolwich when her engine crank
broke, and the Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand,
was sent from Portsmouth to take the Mega= in tow
and return with her to Sheerness.
The Brisk steam-sloop has been jury-rigged here,
and is expected to leave Woolwich to-morrow in
charge of Mr. C. P. D. Bean, of the Fisgard, and a
party of men, who will navigate her to Greenock,-to
have her engines put in by Scott and Sinclair. The
Barracouta steam-sloop, in charge of Mr. Brown,
assistant-master-attendant at Devonport, is daily ex-
pected here.
" Ways" have been sent up from Woolwich to b 4

NOTICE OF REGULATION FOR
WHITSUNTIDE.
As it is computed that nearly half a million of the Working
Classes will arrive in the Metropolis during the early portion of next
week, the greatest precautions have been taken to prevent inconve-
nience ; and it is presumed that the residents of the Metropolis, who
can do everything when they please, will take advantage of the
excursion trains and steamers, whick are judiciously provided to ac-
commodate two hundred thousand a day. In London many of the
Exhibitions will be open ; the British Museum, the National Gallery,
and many other attractions will be free, and among the principal
sights of London to which the public are invited, the magni-
ficent marts of . MOSES and SON, in the Minories and Aid-
gate, and NewE Oxford-street, will attract thousands. At
their establishment may be seen the most extensive col-
lection of fashionable costume ever got together, and
among them the superb embroidered dresses intended for the
Great Exhibition. These specimens are worth travelling a thousand
miles to inspect, for art and science can go no further in the pro-
duction of embroidery. It would, indeed, be a matter of regret
for a visitor to omit calling at the Monarch Mart, for it is im-
possible to form the least idea of its extent, or of the variety,
elegance, and taste displayed in the dresses, which, in number,
exceed all belief. It should be mentioned to visitors that they
are invited to inspect not to buy, although the purchase of the
next article of dress a visitor may require, follows some time or
other, as certain as day follows night, for the articles exhibited are
as good of the kind as man can produce, and the prices so mode-
rately low, that people must see to believe. E. MOSES and SOS
have devoted a separate Show-room for the purpose of exhibiting the
embroidered robes alluded to, and they again earnestly invite an
inspection.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
DEATH OF ADMIRAL COCHET.
Admiral of the Red John Cochet has been reported
as deceased at the advanced age of 81 years. This
venerable officer entered the service as early as 1775,
rather too early, it would appear, to qualify him for
those honours and decorations which were bestowed
on younger men, although he served on full pay for
29 years, most of the timo afloat during the war.
The following sketch of his career is from" O'Byrne's
Biography :"-This officer entered the navy Dec.
22, 1775, as ordinary, on board the Blonde, 32,
Captain Philemon Pownall, with whom, after cruiz-
ing for some time on the coast of North America, he
removed to the Apollo, 32, of which ship he became
a midshipman in October, 1778. On the 31st of
January, 1779, he assisted at the capture, off the
French coast, of the 26-gun frigate L'Oiseau, which
only surrendered at the close of a. sanguinary action
of an hour and a half ; and on June 15, 1780, he
further contributed, near Oitend, to the defeat of the
French ship Stanislaus, of 26 guns, whose fire killed,
including Captain Pownall, six, and wounded 20,
of the Apollo's people. From December follow-
ing, until the receipt of his first commission,
August 26, 1789, Mr. Cochet was employed
on the American, home, and Mediterranean
stations, in the Amphion, 32, Captain John Bazely,
Charlestown, 28, Captain Edm. Griffiths, Powerful,
74, Captain Thomas Fitzberbert, and Southampton,
32, Captain Andrew Snape Douglas. In March,
1790, he joined the Zebra sloop, Captains Hon. Robert
Forbes and Wm. Brown, and in December, 1792,
on
his return from the Mediterranean, the Phaeton, 38,
Captain Sir A. S. Douglas. After sharing in the
capture of various vessels, amongst which were Le
General Dumourier privateer-her prize, the St.
Jago,* a Spanish galleon of immense value-and La
Prompts, of 28 guns, he removed to the Queen Char-
lotte, 100, bearing the flag of Earl Howe, with whom
he served in the action of June 1, 1794. Having oh-
tained the rank of commander May 27, 1795, Captain
Cochet, January 4, 1796, joined the Rattler, 16, and
on the 6th of May following, when in company with
the Diamond, 39, took, off Cherbourg, Le Pichegru,
privateer, of 10 guns and thirty-four men. On De-
cember 9, 1796, he was posted in the AbergavennY ,
of .50 guns, in which ship we find him superintending
the naval arrangements at the evacuation, of Port-au-
Prince, St. Domingo. He was subsequently ap-
pointed, Juno 14, 1698, to the Thunderer, 74 and,
January 11, 1799, to the Valiant, 74. In the latter
ship he returned to England with a large convoy,
and was placed on half-pay, May 30, 1799. After
which he officiated with great crdit especially at
the battle of Maida, as principal agent for trans-
ports in the Mediterranean from May 2, 1805, until
June, 1810. He commanded next the Ardent, 64, at
Bermuda, from March 3, 1813, until April, 1814 ;
and lastly performed the duties at Halifax of resident
agent for transports and prisoners of war, from the
latter date until May, 1815. Admiral Cochet, who
has not been since employed, became a rear-admiral
August 12, 1819 ; a vice-admiral July 22, 18e30 ; and
a full admiral November 23, 1841. e marrid, first,

DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION
NEAR BARASLEY.
This neighbourhood seems to have attained a pain-
ful degree of notoriety by the frequency, fatality,
and extent of its colliery explosions. In March,
1847, the fearful explosion at the Ardsley Main Col-
liery occurred, when about 80 persons, men and boys,
were suddenly launched into eternity, and many a
family rendered desolate. Scarcely had the remem-
brance of this been effaced from the public mind, when
