with the pump by two 18-inch barrel drains, one on
each side of the dockffrom drains at the heel or after-
part of the dock, the floor of the dock having a slope
of 9in. from the head to the caisson. The first trial
was made by pumping water from the harbour into
the steam basin and ,No. 11 dock against the ordi-
nary head of water in the basin. The area of the
steam basin is 7 acres, or 304,920 cubic feet. The
dock is 419 ft. long by 97 ft. wide, and gives an addi-
tional 40,643 square feet to the basin area.
The trial was a continuous pumping under
the conditions of a varying tide. The rise of
the water in the dock or basin was 18 -in. per hour
throughout, but the first hour the rise was at the
rate of 191 in. The second trial was made also with
the same dock and basin, the trial lasting half-an-
hour, commencing a quarter of an hour before dead
low water, and concluding a quarter of an hour
after dead low water. The average lift was 10ft.,
and the height of the water in the dock and basin
was raised 114iu. iu the half-hour. The third and
last trial on Saturday was to pump the water out of
No. 11 dock, commencing at high water, the water
in the dock being level with the tidal level of the
harbour outside the walls of the yard and dock.
The depth of water in the dock was 26ft. to inverts
and 13iu. below, or a total of 27ft. lin. from level
to floor. The contract stipulated time to pump this
vast body of water out 'was three hours and 30
seconds. The pump was started at 2 p.m. precisely,
and until the dock was emptied of its water the
depth was taken and the vertical central measure of
the water pumped out as follows :—Pump started
at 2 p.m. Depth of water lessened—at 215 p.m.
by 4ft. 81in., at 2 30 p.m. by 3ft. 81in., at 2 35
p.m. by 3ft. 61in., at 2 45 p.m. by 3ft. 11in., at 3
p.m. by 2ft. Skin., at 3 15 p.m. by 21t. 51in., at
3 30 by 2ft. 3fin., at 3 45 p.m. by 2ft. 11in., at
4 p.m. by 2ft. lin., at 4 15 p.m. by 2ft. 2in., and
'at4 30 p.m. by 114 in. The total is 26ft. 3fin.,
and this was pumped through the circular culvert at
I the head of the dock. The remaining nine and a
half inches were pumped through the barrel drains
leading from the after end of the dock. Two and
a half hours were occupied in pumping through the
head culvert, and five minutes through the barrel
drains, the total time occupied in pumping the dock
clear being two hours 35 minutes, or 55 minutes
less than the contract iliac. Messrs. Easton and
Amos have reason to be much gratified with the re-
sults of the trials to which their pumping machinery
has been subjected, and the civil engineering depart-
ment of the Admiralty also deserve credit for ad-
vising the expenditure of money upon machinery
that appears to be so efficient.

The following is the report of Mr. Raffles to the
Board of Trade respecting the loss of the barque
Coustantia:—

Having, in conjunction with Captain Harris and
Baker, as nautical assessors, held the inquiry or-
dered by your lordships into the loss of the barque
Constautia, I beg to forward my report. The Con-
stantia was a wooden ship, of 436 tons, built in
1859 at Liverpool, and owned by Mr. E. C. Friend
and others of that port. She left Liverpool on the
16th of October last, under the command of Mr.
Edgar Willcock, who holds a certificate of compe-
tency as master, and had a crew of 16 men all told.
She was bound for Yokohama, in Japan, and car-
ried a general cargo and no passengers. The pilot
left the ship off the Bell Buoy about 6 o'clock on
the same evening ; and at 7 p.m. on the 18th the
South Stack Light bore E. and by S. 12 miles.
From this position the ship stood across S.W. and 1
by W. till midnight, Lula W.S.W. from that
hour till she struck, at 3.30 a.m. on the
19th, upon the north end of the Arklow
Bank, her average speed having been four
and a half knots from her last departure from the
Stack. There was a fresh breeze from the south-
ward, and she carried double reefed topsails and
reefed mainsail. About 1 a.m. the look-out reported
a light ahead, and the mate also saw the same light
somewhat later on the starboard beam. This light
was also seen by the man at the wheel about 2 30
a.m. on the starboard quarter, and he stated in his
evidence that he heard the mate point out this light
to the captain, who came up about 3 a.m., and all
seem unfortunately to have taken it for a ship's
light, whereas from the course and distance
run, making due allowance for tide and leeway,
must have been the Wicklow Swatch Light. Very
shortly, afterwards another light was seen right
ahead, or a little on the port bow, showing from
time to time, which was also too readily assumed to
be a ship's light, and this was, doubtless, the Ark-
low revolving light, as was subsequently proved.
Upon the discovery of this light, the master went
below to consult his chart, and, returning in a few

with twelve feet of water in her, or more, about
9 a.m. There can be no doubt that in this

hours, however, he had been standing to the west-
ward, and therefore approaching the Irish banks,
and without any other warning than that which a
calculation of the distance run should have given
him, he should have had recourse to his lead. But
he saw two lights, both of which must have been
beacon lights, and yet, with singular credulity, they
were hastily considered by all who saw them to be
ship's lights. One cast of the lead, however, would
have undeceived them ; but if master mariners will
persist in the neglect of the lead while navigating
the Irish Channel, however much the lights 11l ay
be multiplied, these casualties will continue to

all practical purposes the strike is at an end. The
prospectstforof the working classes on the Tyne this winter are
y
unpromising. The iron shipbuilding trade is weekly
b
more dull and depressed, and there is a consider-
able number of hands out both in the iron and timber ship-
building yards; and the general manufacturing and ship-
ping trades of the Tyne are far from flourishing. The
aOr-ming
only great manufacturing trade on the river which shows
any activity is the chemical. Large shipments continue to
be sent not only to New York, Boston, and Philadelphia,
but into the Western States of America, and the demand is
likely to continue. Prices are high and stocks are low, and
though the value of the raw material—manganese and
pyrites—has greatly increased of late, the business is a very
successful one. A company of English capitalists in con-
nection with the chemical trade, having a capital of
£200,000, are about to commence operations with a view
to develope the mines in Spain, from which our manufac-
turers get their principal supplies of the raw material.
