Architeeture and Marine Engineering as 2WMIRALTY
PUPILS, will, for the present year, bo as follows :
Candidates must not be less than- 18 or nlore than 21
years of age, and must have served at least taro years in
private ghipbuildinfg or engineering establishments, or
must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way
been so connected W th,shipbuilding or engineering opera-
tios as to become 4voll-grouuded in the elementary prin-
cifaes and practice 'thereof.
The pupils will be selected by competitive examination,
the subjocts for which and Autnbers,of marks assigned for
each, are as follows :
Marks.
Pure mathematics including arithmetic, mensura-
tion, geometry (plain and d•scriptive), plane tri-
- gonornotry, and the elements of the differential
and integral calculus 2,500
Applied in aliematies, including mechanics and
hydrostatics ... ••• 1,000

shipwright's candidates only) 2,500
Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi-
dates only) ... 2,500
French ... 500
Elements of physic and chymistry 750
English grammar and composition ... 750
Geography and History ... 750

No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
The last four subjects, although counting in the compe-
tition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will be treated,
while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six
days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per
day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist-
ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from their homes, either at the Szhool or in
the dockyards.
Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May
—will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining
five months to actual work awl the acquirement of practi-
cal knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils
to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer.
Persons desirous of competing must forward their names,
with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which
they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing
proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, not later than the Ist September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 28th September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNOX.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

ATTENDANCE DAILY.

THE ACCIDEN7 70_ THE IRISH MIIL.

__EIIOELE, Saturday.

The fact that a witness has come forward to cor-
rohora.`e in some of its main particulars the extra-
ordinary narrative of Mrs. Dick en has very con-
siderably increased the interest in this inquiry. A
respectable and intelligent-looking young girl,
named Sarah Haughton, states positively that she
saw Mrs. Dicken 44 pleading" to persons to come out
of carriages in the fore part of the train, after the
explosion had happened and while the flames were
raging. Sarah Haughton says she was on the top
of the embankment on the left side of the line,
while Mrs. Dicken was on the sea-side, to the right
of the down train. It is admitted that the wind
was blowing from the sea and towards the embank-
ment, so that it carried the flames that way ; but
the girl says she could see across the train, as she
was standing towards the centre of the train, and
at a point beyond that to which the fire then ex-
tended. Mr. Eyton, the Coroner's Assessor, with
perhaps too much precipitancy, gave it as his opi-
nion that Sarah Haughton's evidence was " worth-
less." She may be, and probably is, mistaken ; but
there has been other evidence, still stronger, iu the
same direction, and it will be more satisfactory to
the relatives of the victims of the accident and to
the public to have it shown by evidence that Mrs.
Dicken and Sarah Haughton are in error than to
have their evidence disposed of by an opinion of its
value formed by the Coroner's Assessor before the
close of the inquiry. It is desirable that any pas-
senger who may have sat on the side of the mail
train next the sea, and who may have seen the pro-
gress of the flames on that side immediately after
the collision, should be here on Tuesday. The
evidenea of Sara, the guard of the goods train, was
listened to with the most anxious attention. As
will be seen by the report of the proceedings, his
examination by the Assessor had not concluded
when the Court adjourned. His testimony, so far,
has been given in a clear and apparently straight-
forward manner. He seemed to remember very
closely all the material circumstances connected
with the shunting operations on the day in question.
Several other servants of the company are also to
be produced for examination.
