LAUNCHING THE LEVIATHAN.

Soon after daylight yesterday morning, Mr.
Brunel, with Captain Harrison, and his indefatig-
able chief assistant, Mr. Prowse, were again busy
at Millwall, superintending the efforts by which the
Leviathan is worked down slowly to the water,
inch by inch and foot by foot. The ship has now
completely quitted every part of the old foundation
on which she was built, and the entire of her vast
bulk and stupendous weight rest on the new launch-
ing ways alone. The mast sinister rumours have
at times been in circulation as to the disastrous
results which might be anticipated when this event
should happen, but as far as can be judged from
the effect upon the ways at present the firmness
with which they bear the vessel up exceeds the
most sanguine expectations, and quite justifies the
remarks which have been made by engineers that,
next to the ship itself, the launching ways
are the best piece of work in the yard. Their
construction was contracted for by the Messrs.
Treadwell, and, considering the nature of theground
they had to work upon, and the severity of the test
which they have since withstood, their strength and
rigidity may be considered as really astonishing.
The Leviathan was first pushed upon them on
Thursday afternoon, and so remained throughout
the night, yet so little had the timber yielded
under the tremendous pressure, that in the very
first attempt to move the ship yesterday she in-
stantly slipped seven feet. She made this great
step with the same easy gliding motion as hereto-
fore, with an almost total absence of friction on
the meta's, and with only the usual hollow, so-
lemn, reverberating noise like very distant
thunder. These slips, however, are scarcely
productive of any great gain in the day's work,
for, the stern being much heavier than the
bows, the cradle under that portion descends much
more rapidly, and so turns both cradles on the ways
that an immense pressure is required again to start
her. Thus, yesterday morning, after one of these
slips, she displayed the most unyielding ob-
stinacy. The tackle from the river, the screw jacks
and hydraulic machines, were taxed to their utmost,
the latter especially, to such an extent that first a
14-inch cylinder, and next a 7-inch one, gave way,
and ripped the solid iron top to bottom under the
intense pressure which was exerted in them. These
mishaps, however, only occasioned a temporary de-
lay, and renewal of the efforts, after a time, at last
got another start of the ship, and so she continued
throughout the day, dropping from 6 to 10 inches
each time, till dusk, when the men left off, and the
signal boards showed a progress of nearly 31 feet
for the day's work.
The afternoon's tide yesterday placed about four
feet of water under her keel, and so lightened the
ways of about 1,500 tons of her dead weight ; but
apparently this made not the least difference in her
rate of progress. There seems now not the least
reason to doubt but that by Tuesday or Wednes-
day next the launch will be entirely completed.
It is reported that the fall of the scaffolding out-
side the yard on Thursday injured very many more
people than were then conveyed to the hospital, and
that the number of persons in the neighbourhood
who are suffering from contusions, internal injuries,
and slight concussions of the brain, received on that
occasion, is considerable. It seems surprising that
the police should not have interfered to prevent a
scaffolding not fit to bear 20 with safety from being
crowded with at least a hundred people.

RELIGIOUS WORSHIP ACT AMENDMENT.—The fol-
lowing is a copy of the Bill entitled "An Act to amend
the Act for securing the liberty of religious worship,"
introduced by Lord Shaftesbury last evening : —" Where-
a i it is expedient to extend the Act passed in the session
of Parliament held in the 18th and 19th years of the
reign of her present Majesty, entitled 'An Act for
securing the liberty of religilus worship ;' Be it enacted
by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with
the advice and consent of the Lords Spirituel and Tem-
poral, and Commons in this present Parliament assem-
bled, and by the authority of the same as follows :-1.
From and after the passing of this Act, notwithstanding
any powers of inhibition claimed by .the incumbent of
any parish or ecclesiastical district the population of
which shall exceed 2,000 by the last preceding census,
no inhibition of such incumbent shall avail so as to pre-
vent any ordained minister of the United Church of
England and Ireland from conducting or taking part
in any congregation or assembly occasionally meeting
for religions warship in any building or buildings not
usually appropriated to purposes of religious worship,
unless such inhibition shall be contained in some writing
under the hand of such incumbent, countersigned and
sealed by the bishop of the diocese within which such
occasional services shall be held.
THE COUNTESS OF ELLESMERE'S JEWELS—CONFESSION
OF ONE OF THE THIEVES.—A very explicit confession has
just been made by a young man named Atwell, a pri-
soner in Chelmsford Gaol, as to the robbery of property
belonging to the Countess of Ellesmere on the 22d of
January, 1856. It will be remembered that the pro-
perty, which was of great value, was contained in a box,
which was stolen from the roof of a cab on its way to
Waterloo-bridge station. Atwell states that he with
two other men, known as " Witty" and " Saint," were
out on the day just mentioned with the intention of com-
mitting robbery. They followed the cab, and Witty jumped
up behind the cab, and pulled the box down. The horse
reared up, but the driver did not observe them. They
took it to the shop of Jackson, an oilman, in Leonard-
street, Shoreditch, and opened it in the back parlour in
the presence of Jackson and his wife. Atwell says :"I
noticed the name of the Countess of Ellesmere painted
in white letters on the top of the box, and I said,
This lady is almost next to the Queen.' By that,
said Jacks )e, I hope you have got something good."
Witty began taking out the things. Mrs. Jackson
said, They are Very nice tbinge—they consisted of
ladies' dresses. Then Witty discovered a little box,
containing a bracelect. I said, 'Joe, this is gold.' He
took another out of the box ; went on further and
brought a box shaped like a half-moon—that contained
a coronet for a lady's head. There was a thing in the
shape of a butterfly, covered with sparks (diamonds).
This was sold to Mrs. Jackson for half-a-orown, and a
large quantity of dresses and shawls for 50?. Jackson
purchased a handkerchief full of jewellery for 401. A
lot of loose diamonds and ' blue drops' were sold next
morning for se. and the other contents disposed of in a
similar fashion." Jaeksoa and his wife were yester-
day committed for trial, on the charge of feloniously
receiving tho stolen property.

[Anvaansmaxy.] The following is not the least remark-

Asthma, Consumption, and Debility:—Maastricht, Holland,
Aug. 7,1854.—My daughter Virginia had long been consump-
tive, with diarrhcca and night sweats, and was inJuly last reduc-
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi-
cal men agreed there was no hopo of recovery left, and that
she could not survive many days. Upon the recommenda-
tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta. Arabica,
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate
change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few
meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrhoea
and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu-
ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel-
lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and
I consider I am only discharging a most sacred
duty iu recommending it to all sufferers.-5. ZEGUERS.
