THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
• • fully-txplained in J. GROSSMITI.I'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced In 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE FIRE IN TOOLEY-STREET.

- -- -
Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, if he proposed making inquiry
into the circumstances attending the commencement of the
recent fire in Tooley-street, with a view of ascertaining
whether there was a sufficient supply of water in the mains
of the company supplying the district ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had communicated with
the commissioners of police on the subject, and their report
was to the effect that on the first arrival of the engines
there was not a sufficient supply of water. He did not
think, however, that there was any necessity for enquiry
into the subject.

THE SUN, LONDON,' FRIDAY ZVENIX6, JUNE 28, 1861.

The clause was then agreed to.
Mr. ADAM proposed the following clause, to follow
clause 3, " Any person who shall have been or shall be ap-
pointed to any office, place, or employment under this act,
shall be subject to the provisions of any statute, rule, or
order now in force prohibiting the receipt of presents, trading
or other acts by covenanted civil servants."
Sir C. WOOD opposed the amendment. lie objected to

. _
it as unnecessary, as persons employed in the uncovenanted
service were already obliged to take an oath that they would
not receive presents, and bribery was punishable by the penal

code.

The committee divided—

For the clause .57
Against it
Majority
Mr. VANSITTART said he did not believe many hon.

members knew what they were dividing about. The fact
was that by this division they were legalising the taking of
bribes by those persons who would be appointed under the
act.

Sir C. WOOD said there would be an effectual check put
upon the taking of bribes when the appointments were made.
Sir E. COLEBROOKE thought the clause altogether
unnecessary. There was no such check thought necessary
with regard to the army, and he did not see why they
should make a special provision in this case. When the
house was asked to include a general principle against cor •

ruption, to refuse it led to an improper inference which
they ought not to be exposed to.
The clause was negatived.
Oa the question that the bill be reported,
A short conversation ensued, during which
Sir J. ELP HIN STONE complained of the amount of
civil patronage which this bill would create, and which he
said would be used as a means of corruption in this country.
They were introducing the small end of the wedge, which
would fructify in a most unsatisfactory state of things.
Mr. BOUVERIE said that to use the metaphor which
had just been uttered by the hon. member—(laughter)--
he must say that in discussing a bill at a time when there
was no opportunity of acting on their opinions, they were
introducing the small end of the wedge, which would fruc-
tify in an enormous amount of legislative inconvenience.
(A laugh.)
Bill reported.

REVIEWS or THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
mhould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
t. 31 March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—"Daily Telegraph," March 27. 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising
manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bilit Y ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesseson it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

OMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' BENEVOLENT INSTI-
TUTION.—The half yearly meeting of the subscribers to
this institution was held yesterday at the London Tavern
—Mr. N. B. Gunton in the chair—to receive the report of
the directors, and to elect two annuitants on the fund.
The report having been adopted, scrutineers were appint-
ed, and the meeting proceeded to the election of two annui-
tants from a list of three candidates.
DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—The
Great Eastern, Captain Kennedy, took her departure
from Liverpool at about 12.30 yesterday. The scene
as the " big ship" passed down the Mersey was ex-
ceedingly fine. The weather was brilliant, and enormous
crowds lined the sides of the river, landing stages, pier-
heads, &c., and cheered lustily as the ship passed. On
board the vessel all was animation and excitement, and the
soldiers returned the cheering with a will. Th,e two Tee"
mental bands on board kept playing patriotic and other airs,
and frequent discharges of the ship's cannon assisted in
raising the enthusiam which prevailed. The altuip threaded
her way beautifully out to sea and crossed tha :bar shortly
after two o'clock.

LAUNCH OF THE SCOTIA.

on Tuesday afternoon the paddle steamship
Scotia was launched from the building-yard of
Messrs. Robert Napier and Sons, at Govan, near
Glasgow. This vessel is the largest after the Great
Eastern yet constructed for the mercantile service.
Her length is 360 feet, her breadth 47 feet. The
main saloon is 62 feet in length by 20 in breadth
and eight in height. The fore saloon measures 45
feet in length by 20 in breadth. Both of these spa-
cious apartments will be lighted from the sides by
plates of glass placed in the alternate panels. They
will afford dining accommodation for 300 passen-
gers. The same number of persons will be accommo-
dated with sleeping berths, for which there are set
aside 157 cabins. The vessel has seven water-tight
compartments. The goods are to be stowed in two
of these divisions, 75 feet each in length, 20 in
breadth, and 20 in height. These goods stores or
tanks are placed in the central one of the ship, and
are capable of containing 1,500 tons of measurement
goods. They are perfectly water-tight, and, in the
event of accident to the hull, would of themselves
float the ship, the vessel being so constructed as to
have in reality a double bottom under the goods
chambers, so that if the outer were beaten in, or
injured, the inner would in all likelihood protect
the cargo and keep it dry. The weather on Tues-
day was unfavourable; slight drizzling showers
kept falling throughout the day. In spite of
this, however, an immense concourse assembled
to witness the launch. The inclined plane along
which the vessel was to glide into the water
was constructed in the usual manner. Shortly after
3 o'clock several groups of workmen knocked away
the bilge blocks, and the vessel sunk down upon
her own weight. The ship was then named the
" Scotia" by Miss Arbuthnot, the daughter of Mr.
Arbuthnot, of Mairsbank, who performed the cere-
mony under a covered stand at the stem of the
vessel. A moment of anxious expectation followed ;
then the loud stroke of the hammer was heard re-
moving the little dogshore which upheld thatednoirn-
mous structure of 2,500 tons. the sound had
scarcely reached the ears of the spectators at the
stern when the magnificent hull slid away, an
another minute, amid the plaudits of the multitude,
sat safely and gracefully on the waters of the Clyde.

The Scotia has been built by the orders of the
Messrs. Burns, of Glasgow, for the Cunard or
British and North American Royal 'Mail team-
packet Company.

MADEMOISELLE DUVERNAY. Many of our
readers will be intorested in learning that a lady much and
justly admired as Taglioni's only rival 25 years ago, since
then the wife and now the widow of Mr. Lyne Stephens, is
to be promoted to the rank of Duchess. The once brilliant
Virginie Duvernay is about to give her hand to the Duo de

Dr. La'Mert is the only qualified practitioner on the Medi-
cal Register who, for 20 years, has exclusively devoted his
attention to the treatment of those physical infirmities which
militate against the happiness of Married Life, or prevent
the contraction of engagements which constitute the most
cherished objects of existence.
Dr. La'Mert's Treatise on "Self-preservation," published
by Mann, bookseller, 39, Cornhill, price Is., post free for 13,
or sealed, for 20 stamps, contains much useful information
regarding the moral, social, and physical obligations of mar-
riage, with simple and efficacious instructions for the resto-
ration of health, vigour, and all the dignified prerogatives of
manhood, when lost or impaired by pernicious habits or
excess. The work will be found totally free trhm those ex-
aggerated and alarming statements contained in the host of
pretended medical publications by unqualified persons, pro-
fessing to treat on these important subjects.

THE FIRE IN TOOLEY•STREET.

Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, if he proposed making inquiry
into the circumstances attending the commencement of the
recent fire in Tooley-street, with a view of ascertaining
whether there was a sufficient supply of water in the mains
of the company supplying the district ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that lie had communicated with
the commissioners of police on the subject, and their report
Was to the effect that on the first arrival of the engines
there was not a sufficient supply of water. He did not
think, however, that there was any necessity for enquiry
into the subject.

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.

Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE called the at-
tention of the house to the recent death of the Sultan of
Turkey. The event was one of great importance to not
only Turkey but to Europe generally. He adverted in de •
tail to the various acts of the late Sultan, and mentioned in
laudatory terms the liberal spirit he displayed during his
government, particularly with reference to the Protestants
resident in his kingdom. He admitted that he had com-
mitted faults, but contended that his general administration
was entitled to praise. He trusted trusted that his succes-
sor would follow in his footsteps, and be guided by the same
liberal spirit. Advice to him in his present position was
most desirable, and he thought that advice could emanate
from no Sovereign in Europe more properly than
the Queen of England. They should bear in mind
that they were under obligations to Turkey, which should
induce the people of this country to take a lively interest in
the affairs and good government of that country. He con-
cluded by asking the Government if any official notification
had been received of the accession of the Sultan, or the
policy he proposed to pursue.

Lord WODEHOUSE stated, in reply, that his noble
friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had assured him
that the new Sultan would carry out in its integrity the
policy of his predecessor in reference to foreign affairs,
and as regards his internal policy he would endeavour to
introduce salutary and practical reforms. He expressed a
hope that a new era was about to dawn upon Turky.
Lord HARD WICKE strongly deprecated the policy of
interference which this country passed towards Turkey.
The Government of that cowtry should be called to work
out its own reformation in conformity with its own religion,
and according to the spirit of its people.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE gave notice
that he would bring forward a motion on this subject.

WEARDALE RAILWAY BILL.

On the motion for the consideration of this bill,
Mr. H. WOODS moved as an amendment that clause 48
should be omitted, in order to facilitate the traffic of the
neighbourhood of the railway. He complained that the
consignors and consignees had not been fairly repre-
sented by those who appeared on behalf of the
mining interest. The chief evidence was that tendered on
behalf of the railway companies interested. He thought
that the bill should be referred to a select committee.

Mr. M. GIBSON opposed the motion, but solely on the
ground that, if it was adopted, it would have the effect of
throwing out the bill this session, as it would prevent its
reaching the House of Lords in time to be considered ac-
cording to the standing orders of the house. He sug-
gested that the paper course to pursue would be for the
promoters to meet and agree to the alterations proposed,
and to have them introduced in the House of Lords,
After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn,
and the bill was considered and ordered for third reading.
THE CENSUS IN IRELAND.

In answer to Sir F. HEYGATE,
Mr. CARDWELL said the result of the census in Ire-
land, similar to that lately furnished for England and
Wales, would be prepared by the middle of July, and
would, he believed, contain very valuable and accurate in-
formation.

The clause was then agreed to.
, Mr. ADAM proposed the following clause, to follow
'clause 3, " Any person who shall have been or shall be ap •
pointed to any office, place, or employment under this act,
shall be subject to the provisions of any statute, rule, or
order now in force prohibiting the receipt of presents, trading
or other acts by covenanted civil servants."
Sir C. WOOD opposed the amendment. He objected to
it as unnecessary, as persons employed in the uncovenanted
service were already obliged to take an oath that they would
not receive presents, and bribery was punishable by the penal
code.

The committee divided—
For the clause
Against it
Maj ority
Mr. VANSITTART said he did not believe many hon.
members knew what they were dividing about. The fact
was that by this division they were legalising the taking of
bribes by those persons who would be appointed under the
act.

Sir C. WOOD said there would be an effectual check put
upon the taking of bribes when the appointments were:made.
Sir E. COLEBROOKE thought the clause altogether
unnecessary. There was no such check thought necessary
with regard to the army, and he did not see why they
should make a special provision in this case. When the
house was asked to include a general principle against cor •
ruption, to refuse it led to an improper inference which
they ought not to be exposed to.
The clause was negatived.
Ou the question that the bill be reported,
A short conversation ensued, during which
Sir J. ELPHINSTONE complained of the amount of
civil patronage which this bill would create, and which he
said would be used as a means of corruption in this country.
They were introducing the small end of the wedge, which
would fructify in a most unsatisfactory state of things.
Mr. BOUVERIE said that to use the metaphor which
had just been uttered by the hon. member—(laughter)—
he must say that in discussing a bill at a time when there
was no opportunity of acting on their opinions, they were
introducing the small end of the wedge, which would fruc-
tify in an enormous amount of legislative inconvenience.
(A laugh.)

LAUNCH OF THE SCOTT 4.

On Tuesday afternoon the paddle steamship
Scotia was launched from the building-yard of
Messrs. Robert Napier and Sons, at Govan, near
Glasgow. This vessel is the largest after the Great
Eastern yet constructed for the mercantile service.
Her length is 360 feet, her breadth 47 feet. The
main saloon is 62 feet in length by 20 in breadth
and eight in height. The fore saloon measures 45
feet in length by 20 in breadth. Both of these spa-
cious apartments will be lighted from the sides by
plates of glass placed in the alternate panels. They
will afford dining accommodation for 300 passen-
gers. The same number of persons will be accommo-
dated with sleeping berths, for which there are set
aside 157 cabins. The vessel has seven water•tight
comp,rtments. The goods are to be stowed in two
of these divisions, 75 feet each in length, 20 in
breadth, and 20 in height. These goods stores or
tanks are placed in the central one of the ship, and
are capable of containing 1,500 tons of measurement
goods. They are perfectly water-tight, and, in the
event of accident to the hull, would of themselves
float the ship, the vessel being so constructed as to
have in reality a double bottom under the goods
chambers, so that if the outer were beaten in, or
injured, the inner would in all likelihood protect
the cargo and keep it dry. The weather on Tues-
day was unfavourable; slight drizzling showers
kept falling throughout the day. In spite of
this, however, an immense concourse assembled
to witness the launch. The inclined plane along
which the vessel was to glide into the water
was constructed in the usual manner. Shortly after
3 o'clock several groups of workmen knocked away
the bilge blocks, and the vessel sunk down upon
her own weight. The ship was then named the
" Scotia" by Aliss Arbuthnot, the daughter of Mr.
Arbuthnot, of Mairsbank, who performed the cere-
mony under a covered stand at the stem of the
vessel. A moment of anxious expectation followed ;
then the loud stroke of the hammer was heard re-
moving the little dogshore which upheld that enor-
mous structure of 2,500 tons. The sound had
scarcely reached the ears of the spectators at the
stern when the magnificent hull slid away, and in
another minute, amid the plaudits of the multitude,
sat safely and gracefully on the watersolfaitlhesCtelyadme..
The Scotia has been built by the orders of the
Messrs. Burns, of Glasgow, for the Cunard or
British and North American Royal i‘
packet Company.

MADEMOISELLE DUVERNAY.— Many of our
readers will be interested in learning that a lady much and
justly admired as Taglioni's only rival 2,5 years ago, since
then the wife and now the widow of Mr. Lyne Stephens, is
to be promoted to the rank of Duchess. lhe once brilliant
Virginia Duvernay is about to give her hand to the Duo de
Richelieu,
