EVENING, MAY 20, 1658.

There are now building in this country ten ships
. of war, to enable the Ottoman government to carry
out the treaty of Paris. Four of them are being
built in the shipyard of Messrs. White, of Cowes,
and consist of two corvettes, 800 tons ; one despatch
gun-vessel, 600 tons ; and a gunboat, 200 tons. The
remainder are building at Blackwall. The Messrs.
White have justdespatehed to herdestination a steam-
ship, called the Bosphorus, being the 13th ship built
by them for the Chirket Company, and intended to
ply on the Bosphorus. This week they have comploted
4 other st eam-ships which on Tuesday had a cruise on
the Southampton Water, with a distinguished party
on board. These ships comprise two paddle-wheel
and two screw steamers ; the former are named the
Constantinople and Danube, and are intended to
ply on the Danube ; the latter are named the
Sweet Waters and Golden Horn, and are intended
for the traffic of the Sweet Waters, Constantinople-
They are built for a private company in connection
with the Ottoman Government. The paddle wheel
steamers are 481 tons (b. m.), and 100-horse power
(nominal). They areof limited draught, being only
5 ft. when laden, in order to suit the shallow watei sof
the Danube. Their dimensions are—length, 170
feet; depth, 9 feet 6 in. They will carry two
pivot guns. The engines are made and fitted by
Messrs. Summers and Day, of Northam, and are
so constructed in each ship as to be disconnected
from each other, and worked in contrary direr-ions,
for the purpose of allowing the vessels to be turned
in a space equal to their own length. Their speed,
when tested at the measured mile, gave an ave-
rage of 11i knets per hour. They are schooner-
rigged, built exceedingly strong, and have a
ladies' cabin and saloon below, with a cabin forward
and a saloon on deck. The screw ships are 82
tons and 25-horse power. They draw only three
feet of water, and are of the following dimensions—
length, 79 feet ; beam, 16 feet ; depth, 7 feet. They
are fitted with geared ,engines and Penn's patent
lignum vitas screw shaft bealings. Their speed,
when tested at the measured mile, gave an average
of 94 knots per hour. They are intended either
for towing purposes .or passenger traffic. The
fouf vessels steamed up the Sairharnpton
Water in beautiful style, with the Union Jack
at the fore and the Ci ()scent at the main, and
brought up off the royal pier for the purpose of
taking on board a party of s-eiervifie gentlemen, who
arrrived from London. Among those present were
his Excellency Sali Pacha (who has been for some
time in this country superintending various orders
of the Turkish Government). A. Paichiari (the
Ottoman consul-general) and lady, aiptain Corisall
(of the Brazilian navy), Captain Ford (of the
Ottoman navy), Mr. Lynn (engineer of Ports-
mouth Dockyard and inspector for the Turkish
Government), several Greek merchants and
ladies, Messrs. Rubie and Murray (surveyors of the
Board of Trade), Mr. White (shipbuilder), Messrs.
Summers (engineers and shipbuilders), &c. The
ships (two and two), steamed down the river in
beautiful style, with the Union Jack at the fore
and the Crescent at the main, lowering their
colours to the English frigate lying off Netley,
which they passed at full speed. After passing
Calshot Castle they executed several manoeuvres,
and tested the various speeds of the engines. A.
splendid dejeuner was partaken on board, and se-
veral complimentary toasts were given and acknow- ,
ledged.

CONSUMPTION OF COAL IN FRANCE.—From a paper
just presented to the Academy of Sciences by M. de
Cowmines de Marsilly, it appears that the total quan-
tity of coal annually consumed in France is 9 millions cf
tons, of which 5 millions came from the north, viz , from
the basins of Mons and the Centre, 1,700,000 tons;
Charleroi, 900,000; Valencinnes, 800,000 ; Pas de
Celaie, 300,000 ; and Newcastle, 400,000.
A LION HUNT.—A. letter from Pailippeville (Algeria)
of the 12th gives the following account of a lion bunt
which ended fatally for the principal actor in it. For
some time past, the Arabs belonging to a tribe between
Store and St. Charles saw their flocks every day di-
minishing from the attacks of a lion of such enormous
size and strt ngth that they despaired of being abJe to
destroy it. In that dilemma, they applied to a shoe•
maksr residing in the village of St. Charles, who
had acquired a considerable reputation from his skill
and courage in hunting savage animals, and be
readily consented to accompany a party of the tribe
against the lion. A day was fixed, and the shoemaker,
after fx..mining the ground, placed himself with a
double-barrelled gun in ambush in a hollow tree, where
ho waited patiently for the approach of the expected
prey. A party of the Arabs were stationed at some dis-
tance. After waiting some time, the lion made hie ap-
pearance, and advanced towards a flock which had been
purposely driven to graze near the tree. As soon as the
animal came near, the shoemaker fired his two barrels,
aril the lion fell apparently dead. The shoemaker waited
for a quarter of an hour, and then finding that the lien
did not move, he went forward, and raised its head with
the barrel of his gun. At that moment the dying ail-
mal made a last effort, and lifting up its paw, struck the
shoemaker so heavily on the back that he killed him on
the spot. The Arabs after a time approached, and found
the lion and the man dead side by side.
A case of some interest to foreigners was on Tuesday
submitted to the French Imperial Court, A Hessian of
the name of Steinmetz came to Paris in 1798, and after
working some years as a journeyman tailor, established
himself in business on his own account. In 1808 he mar-
ried a young Frenchwoman named Reze, daughter of a
tradesman of Paris. In 1815 a son was born to them,
but in 1827, having lived very unhappily together,
they signed before a notary a declaration to the effect
that as the man was a Hessian, and had never been na-
turalised a Frenchman, and as his wife by her marriage
belonged to his country, they intended to avail them-
selves of the laws of divorce in force in that country,
and to have the marriage dissolved. The man then by
deed made some provision for their son, whom he left to
the woman, and returned to Germany. He here to k
steps for having the marriage put an end to, and it was
not until 1834 that he succeeded in obtaining a decree
of divorce from the Hessian Government. In 1837 he
married a young woman named Weber, and bad four
children by her, and in 1855 he died at Darmstadt. As
be left considerable propeity, his first wife, Mine. Roze,
put in a claim on the ground that as divorce was not
recognised in France, she alone was entitled to it, but
the Hessian courts rejected it. Part of the property
being in France, she in 1856 brought an action be-
fore the Civil Tribunal of Paris to secure it. In
support of her action she maintained that, although
her husband bad not been formally naturalised, ho
was a Frenchman in the eye of the French law at
the,time he married her, inasmuch as he had quitted his
own country without any intention of returning there,
and was regularly domiciled in France; and that conse-
quently the divorce wbich be had obtained in Hesse was
null and void. The tribunal, finding that the man,
when he married, really had no intention of returning to
Hesse and that, besides, he had been regarded as hav-
ing abandoned his nationality by the Hessian Govern-
ment, and had, after his return, to wait some years be-
fore he could reoover it, gave judgment in favour of
Mme. Roza, alias Steinmetz. The second Mine. Stein-
metz appealed yestorday to the Imperial Court against
this decision, but the Court confirmed it.
TOE ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT CHALON.— The
Tribunal of Correctional Police of Chalon-sur-Saone
yesterday commenced the trial of the men who were
concerned in the outbreak near that place on the Gth of
March last. The number of these men is 36, and they
are all workmen, labourers, or petty traders. All are
accused of having farmed part of a secret political society
for the overthrow of the Government, and some of them
are in addition charged with having formed a nocturnal
assemblage, others with having carried arm or had
illegal possession of arms and ammunition, with having
attempted to seduce soldiers from their duty, with hav-
ing uttered seditious cries, or with resisting the police.
The trial, it is expected, will last several days, as sixty
witnesses have been called for the prosecution, and one
hundred for the defence. The principal accused, a man
named Serey, better known by the name of Henri, is in
flight ; another of the accused has also fled; but the
other thirty-four are in custody. Serey is about thirty-
two years of age, and was for some time an active de-
magogue at Martnande and Agen. After the coup
d'6:at he was condemned to transportation, but he fled
from France and for some time wandered about Italy
and Spain. Henri obtained a pardon, returned to
France, and took up his residence at Chalon-sur-Saone.
Being of plausit le manners and possessing a certain
facility of elocution, he soon obtained great influence
over the workmen, and they got up a secret society. It
was principally through the exertions of these flan that
the insurrectional attempt of March 6 took place. The
vial was proceeding when the report left.
POISONOTJS SNAKES, &a—Poisonous snakes may be
readily known by the shape of their head and neck ; the
head being very wide at the back, and the neck compara-
tively small. Some persons compare the head of a poi-
sonous snake to the ace of spades, which comparison,
although rather exaggerated, gives a good idea of the
poison-bearing head. It has a cruel and a wicked look
about it also, and one recoils almost instinctively.
Should a person be bitten by the viper, the effect; of the
poison may be much diminished by the liberal use of
olive oil, and the effect of the oil is said to be much in-
creased by beat. Strong ammonia, or bartshorn, as it
is popularly called, is able useful, as is the case with the
stings of bees and wasp , and for the came reason. The
evil consequences of the viper's bite vary much in diffe-
rent persons and at different times, according to the tem-
perament of the individual, or his state of health. I may
as well put in one word of favour for the viper before it
is dismissed. It is not a malignant creature, nor does it
seek after victims ; but it is as timid as any creature in
existence, slipping away at the sound of a footstep, and
only using its fangs if trodden on accidentally or inten•
tionally assaulted."—" Common Objects of the Country,"
by the Rev. J. O. Wood.
INDIAN GRATITUDE.—The descendants of Shah Soojab,
whose claims we so long supposed against Dost Maho-
toed, have been for years past in a state of comparative
poverty. Sir Henry Lawrence during his lifetime took
compassion on the fallen state of the family, and
introduced as many of its members as were eligible
into various native corps. Among the cadets thus
provided for was one Shabzadar Secunder. This
man was appointed a jemadar in the Ist Oude Ca-
valry, raised by Major Daly. When he joined his
corps ho had neither clothes nor money, but he' was
supplied with hothead treated with every consideration.
In May last Secunder's troop and another were ordered
to march from Lucknow and keep open communicatiens
wbh Delhi. The troopers mutinied, three of the officer.
were murdered, and a'l but Secunder "perched oiff to
Delhi. Secunder, however, galloped off to Coal, and in-
formed the civil authorities there of what had taken
place, He did not long remain faithful, but joined the
Delhi mutineers, and was there discovered fighting against
the British. During the siege he used to bold frequeet
conversations with one of Major Daly's troopers who
acted as an emissary, and was in the habit of entering
Delhi in disguise. This trooper endeavoured to turn back
Secunder to his loyalty, bat without success. Delhi was
eventually captured, Seconder became a prisoner, and
has eh- ce been hanged by order of Mr. Montgomery.—

EPSOM RACES—THE DERBY DAY.
A wet Derby-day would have been a national
calamity. It would have destroyed the hopes and
expectations in which holiday folk had indulged
for many weeks, and it would have deprived the
English people of the fun and excitement which
usually characterise their racing carnival. Until
Tuesday the skiey influences had been marked by.
" portents dire," and the louring clouds and fre-
quent rains produced a discouraging effect upon
persons engaged in preparations for the great
day. The booth-keepers employed themselves on
Tuesday in constructing drains to carry off the
an ticipa'ed rain, and in endeavour* to render
their canvass waterproof ; and the itinerant
serenaders and acrob its that frequent our race-
courses seemed "out of sorts" at the prospect of a
dreary and unprofitable Derby-day. The glass rose
on Tuesday afternoon, and with it rose the hopes
of the intending vistors. Young men again
allo-ved their fancy to dwell upon the light coats
and blue veils which they had sullenly laid aside
fur macintoshes and oilskins ; and the ladies expe-
rienced a relief when the probability presented itself
that they would be able to glisten in bright dresses
and gay parasols, instead of being miserably cooped
up in closed carriages.
The morning had scarcely dawned when Derby-
day people began to arrive. At first ricketty carts,
loaded with ginger beer and cooling beverages,
toiled into Epsom ; then leg-weary men, driving
trucks before them ; people with short pipe s—boys
mostly—who had walked from London, came in
little parties ; but they did not loiter by the way,
but plodded towards the Down; where they
s to erred their limbs under the shelter of the stands
or in the booths. By six o'clock the sun was
shining gaily, and then the real stir and bustle of
the road gradually commenced. Light gigs came
dashing into the little town, their occupants put-
ting up for a breakfast. After them, about eight
o'crock, a few carriages were seen on the road, and
lumbering pleasure vans, creaking and rumbling
with their heavy load of noi,y, laughing, holiday
folk, made " blocks" at frequent intervals at turn
pike-gates and round the roa.,eide public-houses ;
then the long, straggling street, rapidly filled as
train after train arrived in quick succession ; and
by ten o'clock the stream of people that had set in
towards Epsom since daylight had swt.lien to its
usual dimensions, breaking and running off in dif-
ferent channels a hen it reached the town to spread
over the length and breadth of the Downs. All
uneasiness and forebodings as to the weather were
not entirely dispelled throughout the morning, and
appeals to the weathe:-wise and other-wise were
frequently made as sombre clouds ever and anon
gathered and drifted over the bright blue sky.
The sun, however, after being , temporarily
obscured, would come out and scatter them,
lighting up the landscape more gaily after the
intervals of gloom, and causing the spirits of
the expectant pleasure folk to rise higher, and
their enjoyment to be deepened after the depres-
sion cccastoned by the prospect of unpropitious
weather. A large majority of the people had, like
Mark Tapley, determined to be jolly under any
circumstances, and even regarded a drenching rain
as "jolly fun," and as a principal element in their
Derby-day's enjoyment. Au Englishman's notion
of "rum things" is certainly peculiar, for at about
11 o'clock dark leaden-hue 1 clouds loured omi-
nously, and at last a soaking rain fell, and really
people seemed to revel in the "rum id( a" of hud-
dling together under every available shelter. Dur-
ing the shower the stoppage on the road was almost
general ; the inns along the road were filled in an
instant, and the pelting rain cleared the street of
Epsom so instantaneously, that except for the mass
of people that were seen in the shops and hotels,
one might almost have fancied that the Derby-day
was fir distant. The rain, however, soon ceased,
and out came the visitors again, and the street was
more crowded than ever.

The landscape brightened as the time approached
for the commencement of the sport, and only a
few bright fleecy clouds, driving briskly before a
sharp wind, occasionally sent a shadow over the
Downs. Perhaps the hill was not so crowded as
last year, and perhaps the throng was not so great,
but supposition only can be indulged in with re-
spect to these matters, as every one seems to think
that "this Derby is not like the last," much in the
same way that old ladies and gentlemen believe
that " things are not as they were when they were
young." Mr. Ruskin has expressed his opinion
that it is desirable and proper that this English
carnival should be painted ; but even he would
have been compelled to acknowledge that Mr.
Frith's elaborate pie ure of the Derby-day -Nils to
show the roaring excitement which prevailed, al-
though there were no "gaming table and that
the innocent little girl who had been to the Derby,
and was so happy, has about as accurate an idea
of the real fun and unrestraind merriment as a
person whos experiences are limited to au Exeter-
hall meeting or an Ebenezer tea patty.
Not even that Derby-day characteristic—clouds
of dust—was wanting, for the returning visitors
found the roads almost as dusty as they could have
been after a lengthened drought.
The most inveterate speculator allowed the first
race to be run off witnout directing much attention
to it, whilst those persons merely on pleasure bent,
occupied themselves in drawing Derby "sweeps, '
and betting gloves with the fair sharers of their
conveyances; and a vast amount of speculation
took place on the " odds" against the " evens" for
each race.

The business of the weighing department was
speedily arranged, and the
,yckeys' names and
numbers were displayed on the telegraph board
without delay. Of the 24 animals on the card only
one—Botany--was withdrawn, and this fact at-
tested the care with which Mr. Dorling compiled
his list of starters. On Tuesday the advance of
Toxopholite and the rise of East Langton wee the
principal movements in the market. Just 13-fore
the race two more important changes were made
perfect " rage" was evinced for Eclipse, about
whom as little as 6 to 1 was at one time taken, and
the "dark" Ethopian was brought to 10 to 1,
taken freely. Lord Derby's horse, Toxopholie,
maintained his position iii the betting to the close.
People seemed puzzled to account for the retro-
gression of Fitz Roland, who, however, we under-
stand, was beaten easily in a recent trial by
Beadsman. The result of the race at'ested the
truth of this report. Wells had the option of
riding which of Sir Joseph Hawley's he ileasel,
and he chose Beadsman !

The start was admirably effected. The horses
were marched into the hollow just outs:de the
paddock ; they fell into a clu-ter immediately, and
Mr. Hibburd dropped his flag even before the
spectators generally knew they were at the post.
We have little to add to the elaborate description
of the ra-e given in the usual place. The defeat
of Toxopholite sorely disappointedihis noble owner,
Lord Derby, who was present. Beadsman ran a
good stout horse, and it is not a little creditable
to a private trainer and a young beginner like
George Manning that he should be enabled to
send a horse to the post sufficiently well and suffi-
ciently prepared to win so important a race. Sir
Joseph Hawley has this season renewed his Ban,
Aphrodite, and Teddington triumphs, for with
Beadsman at Newmarket, in the Craven Meeting,
ho won a stake worth about 6001., and with him he
won half the Newmarket Stakes. His crowning
success, however, was to secure the Two Thousand
Guinea,' Stake with Fitzßolaud, and the Derby
with Beadsman.

The races decided after the Derby were unim-
portant, and the ,pectators gave themselves up to
pigeon pies and champagne. The usual scene was
witnessed on the road, and at the railways : omn-
buses "chaffed" "four-in-hands," and pleasure
vans "chaffed" omnibuses ; and not until past
midnight did the last note from the last posthorn
on 'he road cease to disturb the geese and retired
" cite" in the vicinity of Clapham•common.
The police arrangements were, as usual, most
efficiently carried out. Superintendents Walker
and Hughes, of the A division, had a well-disci-
plined body of men, numbering about 200, under
their command ; and the regularity with wide)
they cleared the course elicited well-deserved ad-
miration. Inspector Whicher, of the detective
force, did duty in the Grand Stand enclosure, and
his presence was quite sufficient to check the ope-

rations of the chevaliers d'industrie. •
The management of the traffic at the most
crowded parts of the road was entrusted to a de-
tachment of 100 men of the A and P divisons of
police, under the superintendence of Inspector
Frazer ; and by diverting the stream of vehicles
into lines, all possibility of confusion and danger
was entirely obviated.
There was an extraordinary number of excursion
vans upon the roads ; and the effect produced by
their fresh paint and &tinting hangings, as they
toiled up the pleasant lanes, was remarkably

pretty.l
ArDorlina, the clerk of the course, has cause
for gratulation in the success which marked the
proceedings. Acting on the principle that " trifles
make perfection, and perfection is no trifle," he
personally directed the management of affairs, and
superintended the most seemingly insignificant
matter which could promote the efficiency of the
general arrangements.

THE RACE.
Ditto and Physician were the first to make their
appearance on the course, and they walked up it as
the other cAnpetitors approached the Grand Stand
from the paddock. The preliminary canters were
quickly ever, and the horses proceeded to the post
in a body, and had no sooner quitted the paddock
than the spectators were startled with a shout of
" They're off," so sudden and unexpected was the
start. The lot got away in a cluAer, and a hum
of satisfaction was occasioned by the' tact with
which Mr. Hibburd had dropped his flag, and re-
lieved the'spfctators from all suspense. Eclipse
was the first to show in advance, but immediately
the horses had " got on their legs" Physician
rushed to the front, Eclipse keeping company with
him for a short distance, when he dropred back,
and Fitzßoland went in second with Ditto, Eclipse,
Beadsman, Jordan, Harry Stanley, and the Cyznla;
colt in a cluster next; and as nearly as we could
make out, in the order named, East Langton and
showing in the middle of the ruck,
Carmel toiling on several lengths in the rear.
At the top of the hill Eclipse ran into the
second place, Jordan, Ancient Briton, and
Toxopholite all lying well up behind him.
and King of Sardinia joining Carmel at the extreme
end of the "t til." At the mile-post Fitz Roland
repassed Eclipse, who kept on third, Ditto and
Beadsman showing well up in their wake, with
Toxophilite just behind them. On ascending the
hill at Tattenham Coiner, Fitz Roland headed
Physician, who soon al erwards gave way, Toxo-
pholite taking second place, with Eclipse, Ditto,
Happy Land, Beadsman, The Hadji, Kelpie,lEast
Langton, Longrange, and Ethiopian, next in pur-
suit. Just before reaching the road, Ditto disap-
peared from the front and Beadsman took his place.
They ran thus to the distance, where Fitz Roland
was beaten, Eclipse being left with a slight lead,
Toxopholite lying second, Beadsman third, and.
The Hadji next. About half way up Eclipse de-
clined, and Beadsman took close order with Toxo-
pholite, quitted him opposite the Grand Stand, and
won easily by a length, Lord Derby's colt beating
The Hadji by two lengths for second place. Four
lengths off Eclipse was fourth ; East Langton was
a bad fifth, and Fi..z Roland sixth. The next lot
comprised Ethiopian, Durnfriep, DittO, and Long-
range. The last four beaten off were Jordan,
Happy Land, Deceiver, and Brother to Bird on
the Wing'; Lord Glasgow's Colt was absolutely
last.

On returning to scale, a little sensation was
created by the inability of Wells to draw his
weight, and it was not till after Beadiman's bridle
was brought in that he was declared "all right."
