THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1845.

experimental cruises shifted her stores, and restowed her
provisions so as to neutralise some of the dangerous im-
perfections of her steerage qualities, her heavy rolling,
&c., which were reported on her previous trip. The
Queen, it must be allowed, has also been judiciously
handled at last, and alterei in dock in the interval that
has elapsed since that period, so as to have exhibited
sailing qualities of a much superior order to any that,
up to this time, she had ever been found to
manifest. We are too thankful for a good
first-class man-of-war rot to rejoice at the
distinction she has attained ; and for that distinction
Sir WILLIAM SYMONDS is entitled to take credit, as a
set-off aiainst the very seirious account which Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, Captain BERKELEY, and other not
"ex officio," but professional " auditors of the navy esti-
mates" have brought against him for wasteful disburse-
ments of the public money on his own unprofitably con-
structed ships. And this allusion to the Gallant Com-
modore reminds us of a certain " Return " moved for,
last session, by another naval officer of distinction in the
House of Commons (Lord INGESTRE), and just distri-
buted under the title of " Navy : Ships--the
Queen, &c.," ordered to be printed Bth August 1845,
(N 0.634). Among this mass of papers is the " Return,"
we allude to, " of the expenses in building and repairs of
the ships undermentioned, distinguishing those built by
the Surveyor of the Navy, &c., &c." In this list we
find the Queen (110), built by Sir W. SYSIONDS, in
1839, at a cost of 83,0001., and repaired in 1843 ; again
repaired in 1844 ; and again TWICE in the present year,
1845. Notv, it is curious to observe how the
changeable and extensive character of these re-
pairs has increased in the present year SINCE the former
trip of the Queen with the Experimental Squadron.
The Queen is only six years old, and she has undergone
repairs during the last three years of that term no less
than four tines. In 1843 her repairs cost 4641 only.
In 1844 her further repairs cost 1,8531. This year the
cost of her first batch of additional repairs, &c., was
1,5201., being for " alterations of gripe, additional false
keel, rudder, post, and stations of masts." These,
we apprehend, were "alterations" very clearly
conneeed with those defective sailing and steer-
ing properties that had been to sensibly ex-
perienced on the former cruise. But what is the
amount of the last repairs—the second demand on that
account for the fist seven months of 1345 ?-6,2701. (1)
for "repairs and fittings ; CAULKING, COPPERING, build..
ins magazines according to the new establishment, &c.',
So that here is a total expense of 10,000/. in three years,
for repairs of a new first-rate, which, prior to her cruise
of last year, can scarcely be said to have seen the sea.
If alterations of gripe, additicus to false keel and
rudder, and changing the station of masts, bespeak
original errors of draught and construction,
in what regards the steering and sailing of
a ship, the caulking and new coppering and other most
extensive and expensive repairs to her hull bespeak,
with equal significance, vices of construction that have,
caused her timbers to strain and her frame to labour..
Let us then be permitted to hope, at least, that if Sir
WILLIAM i 5 to be continued in his post of Surveyor of
the Navy, he will in future condescend to learn
from the ascertained deficiencies, faults and errors
of construction always complained of in his ships,
and now tested and irrefragably proved by the
success which has attended these radical and elementary
alterations of his original draughts, estimates, and
designs, what he has so long and obstinately persisted in
refusing to be taught by the practical example of other
systems adopted by other builders. Whilst the yards
of our private builders at Cowes, in London, at Southamp-
ton, at Greenock, at Douglas, have been turning out
vessels of all sizes and capacities, from pleasure sailing
yachts to steam-frigates, designed with so much theore-
tical science, and laid down, and built with SO much
technical judgment, skill, and compactness, as to be
models unrivalled for the combined qualities of
symmetry and sailing, of easy steerage and hardi-
ness, compactness and capacity, unrivalled by
the naval architects of any other country ;
our Government ship-building is so notoriously inferior
to that of our most formidable rivals, that an old French
84 is still in our vast navy an unequalled ship of her
own class ; and new 74-gun ships, like the Scarborough,
no sooner take the sea than they are iliscovered to be so
worthless as to be compelled to be broken up, and their
materials sold at a loss of probably 35,0001. to 40,0001.
on one such ship to the country. The official survey on
the Scarborough, made in 1836 (as we learn from
another of the returns before us), reported that the re-
pairs she then needed would amount to 47,113 Z No
doubt, therefore, it was far better to sell the materials of
such a worthless hull at once ; but is it not intolerable,
to say nothing for the present of the public peril
incurred by such scandalous mismanagement, that the
nation should have its money squandered on such
blinders of professional incapacity? From a " Return o
the expenses on the building and repairs of the Ships
undermentioned, distinguishing those built by the Sur-
veyor of the Navy and other constructors," some of Sir
WILLIAM SYMONDS' favourite craft appears to have re-
quired very speedy and very costly cobbling. The re-
pairs of the Queen, as we have already shown, in six
years cost 10,1071. without any service ; 124 per
cent. on her building cost of 83,000/. The
Vanguard, one of Sir William's eighty guns,
which was built for 62,115/, cost for repairs,
in ten years, 11,6001, or within a fraction of 19 per cent.
The Pique (only saved from foundering on her home-
ward voyage from Quebec, by the seamanship and intre-
pidity of the Hon. Captain Roars and her gallant crew),
a 36 gun frigate, cost 33,0001. for building in 1834. In
eight years her repairs bad cost 6,0471., after getting
on shore, 3,6701 more ; together 9,7171., or 30 per
cent. The Vernon (50), completed in 1832, cost 48,4871
She was built in twelve months. In the first three sub-
sequent years her repairs were 5,5471. In the next three
(1835 to 1838), 12,4701 ; in the early part of the present
",Tar, 3,534/. Thus, in thirteen years, the repairs of this
new] crack experimental ship, the Surveyor's mas-
terpiece, it was said, before he brought out
the Queen, have stood the country in a sum of 21,5511,
or 44i per cent. on her building cost. But Sir WIL,
Lulu's Vestal (78) has proved, comparatively speaking,
a still more chargeable affair. She was built in 1833 for
21,383/. In eleven years her repairs had amounted to
12,8701., or 60 per cent. on her build ! We suppose we
are not to have these results inflicted On. us in future,
otherwise the exceptional superiority in experimental
cruising of the Queen and the Albion will be dearly pur-
chased at the expense of entailing a renewal of Sir WIL-
LIAM'S extravagant searches after " the practical."

The Madrid journals of the 3d instant contain abun-
dance of rumours, but no intelligence of interest. Two
of them affirm that a marriage between the QUEEN and
the Prince of ASTURIAS has been arranged, and will
shortly take place ; while a third, the Herald°, pro-
nounces the match impossible, and adds, that not the
slightest symptom of such a result has been evinced dur-
ing the royal progress in the Basque provinces. The
Globo, on what authority is not stated, anticipates a fa-
vourable sett!ement of the sugar question between the
Spanish and British Governments ; and the Clamor
thus denounces the NARTAEZ Ministry:—" All parties
arc hostile to the Government ; every class of men ex-
ecrates it. Liberals, Conservatives, Carlists, Apostoli-
cals direct against it their just resentment. There does
not exist an independent journal that does not oppose it ;
there is not a political party that does not consider itself
outraged by it."

The QUEEN arrived at Pampeluna on the 3d ; on the
following day the French Princes entered the palace,
and were received by the Court with:every demonstration
of enthusiastic welcome.

Little business was done on the Bourse. The Three
per Cents. were quoted 33 for account, but nothing was
done in the other stocks.

Most of the Paris papers contain brief comments on
the arrival of Queen VICTORIA at Eu, which was an-
nounced to the good people of the capital in the follow-
ing telegraphic dispatch :

" EU, SEPT. 8, 9 O'CLOCK,
" The Queen of England has just arrived. The King pro-
ceeded to meet her Majesty, and went on board her yacht.
" The Queen afterwards entered the royal barge, with the
King, Prince Albert, the Prince de Joinville, Prince Augustus
of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and M. Guizot, and landed at Treport
at nine o'clock, the weather being magnificent, amidst the
acclamations of the entire population."
The remarks of the Opposition journals on the event
are not in the best taste. A strange delusion prevails
among the monopolists of France that the QUEEN in
making friendly visits to her relatives at Coburg and to
the French Court, had something else in view than per-
sonal gratification—that, in fact, she was on a diplomatic
commission, got up expressly for promoting the com-
mercial interests of her country. The Presse infers that
she was not successful in Germany, for, says that jour-
nal—" It is affirmed that the QUEEN returns little
plecsed with her journey to the banks of the
Rhine—a journey which has concluded more
abruptly than was anticipated."

The Commerce, alluding to this statement, expresses a
hope that " her MAJESTY had not gone to France to
seek compensation for the failure, and to renew the nego-
tiations for a commercial treaty between the two coun-
tries." These appear to us very contemptible paragraphs
in papers that profess to contain information for men of
common sense, and certainly are not at all in keeping
with the usual gallantry of the French character. The
Constitutionnel, in rather a better spirit, thus alludes to the
nterview betweerA her MAJESTY and Prince MitrrEatvicn :

—" The QUEEN'S journey from Frankfort to Antwerp
presented nothing worthy of remark. At Frankfort her
MAJESTY dined with the King of BAVARIA, whom chance
had brought to that city, after a visit to the Grand Duke
of HESSE DARMSTADT, at Aschaffenbourg. M. DE MET-
TERNICH also happened to be .(no doubt likewise by
chance) at the royal table, and by the side of the Earl of
ABERDEEN. ,It was observed,' says a Frankfort letter,
" that those two statesmen had an animated conversation
which was protracted long after dinner.' A charming
espieglerie is told of the QUEEN, who, observing the
vivacity with which the Austrian Arch-Chancellor spoke,
rose, and went and presented him, with her own royal
hand, the cup of coffee intended for him."
The National makes the following remarks on the
amusements prepared at Parnpeluna for the French
Princes :

" The innocent Queen Isabella and her august mother,
Madame Munoz, are not contented with witnessing the shoot-
ing of deer, they must have a spectacle of higher gait, and the
Presse initiates us precisely in a former number into the na-
ture of their ingenious and delicate amusement, which con-
sists in seeing horses ripped up, and men killed by bulls,
which are eventually slaughtered, after being stabbed,
pierced, and burnt in every way. We consider these scenes
as quite equal to the hunting in the German fashion. In
both cases the spectacle is odious and ignoble. At Pampe-
luna, however, it is men, and in Germany deer that suffer.
The difference is not in favour of the protegee of the Presse,
and if blood must be shed, we prefer that of the deer of
Gotha. What makes these royal enjoyments most strik-
ing is there having been got up to fete the Duke and Duchess
do Nemours, who are much diverted by them. The
Physician of the lPlalade Imaginaire offered his mistress the
pastime of an autopsy ; the innocent Isabella amuses her
visitors by a cruel slaughter of men and animals. In, our
amphitheatres they operate on dead subjects-in Spain on
living ones; it is much more amusing. England is moved
at seeing her young Queen acquire a taste for blood in a
deer-hunt. In Spain and in France-at least amongst the
friends of the daughter and the widow of Ferdinand VII.-
nothing wrong is seen :in a bull fight; nay more, the scene
is related in a picturesque style, as if it were a simple thing.
It is then that the massacres of? Barcelona, the shootings at
Madrid have so far strung the nerves of Spanish royalty
that there is no longer anything to fear for them in witness-
ing bull-fights? In this case, however, it would, in our
opinion, have been well to have shown more consideration,
if not for the feelings, at least for the eyes of the Regent
promised to the pacific destinies of our country."
The Paris Bourse on Tuesday was crowded to excess
by speculators in railway lines. Before the adjudication
of the Northern line, the prices were all higher than on
Monday, and ROTHSCHILD'S were once done as high as
920 f. This price was, however, soon reduced to about
900 f., at which it remained to the close. After the ad-
judication, the price of the ROTHSCHILD rose to 910 f. ;
after some transactions at that price, fell to the old quo-
tation 900 f., at which they closed. All the other nor-
thern promises closed about sf. higher than yesterday's
prices: Fampoux to Hazebruck rose to 530 f., at which
they closed. The general effect of the adjudication was
less than might have been expected.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market, yesterday,
were 6,000 bags, including 1,200 American and 200 Egyptian
on speculation. The market was rather quiet, but in other
respects there was no change. Sales, 600 bales Surat at 3d
to 3%d; 800 Egyptian at 6%dto 714 d ; 150 Bahia at 6d to
6%d; 100 Mstranham at 6d to 63/4cl; and the rest American,
at 33/ to s'(d per lb.—There was a good demand for Shares
at full prices, but principally for the scrips.
There has been lately rather an improved speculative de-
mand for a few of the choicest (if choice there be) of the
United States' Shares and Stock. A move in the right di-
rection has been made by the state of Pennsylvania, and our
hope is that she may continue to rise from the lowly posi-
tion'her adhesion to repudiative principles once placed
her in. We are informed that Pennsylvania Stock is
worth now a much higher value than it realised a few months
back. Still there is not a great deal of business doing here.
There was not any Colonial arrivals of interest announced
this morning. The pool is much crowded with foreign as
well as colonial shipping, and a vast amount of business is
at the present moment doing. It is very satisfac-
tory to be enabled to represent the woollen and
the cotton manufactures as being most active.
The abolition of the duty upon the importation of foreign wool
has, contrary to all the anticipations of the croakers against
Sir R. Peerst;tarift; proved most satisfactory to all branches
of the woollen trade. If such beneficial results have followed
the opening of the Wool trade, (and there is no doubt that
very considerable advantage has resulted from
.the abolition
of this duty), what excuse can there be why the Premier
should not try the effect of a free importation of foreign
wheat ?

Accounts from Belgium state that there was an import of
potatoes from Scotland owing to the high price of the article
here. FromiSweden-and Moscow we are advised that their
potatoes looked well, though wheat at the latter
place was deficient in yield. The Continental
states are doing their best to forward their
crops, a proof of the attention which they would
withdraw from manufacturing pursuits, provided they had
sufficient ennouragement to send their produce here. A
highly influential agricultural association exists in Prussia,
the subscriptions to which amount to 21,000 francs per
annum, each member paying 6 francs, and receiving the so-
ciety's reports in return. The State is said to afford aid also
to the association.

There is not a single price for Consols for the Account this
morning. For Money 9814 % are the only rates at which
business has been done. The premium on Exchequer-bills is
steady at 465. East India Stock is dull at 269 for Money,
and at 269% for the Account.
Mexican Bonds in the Foreign Stock Exchange have fallen
to-day to 33, and the Deferred to 17. Coludibian are a shade
lower also. Portuguese are steady ' • the Four per Cent. Dutch
have rallied to 99% ; and Spanish Consols are still quoted
at 27%.
The holders of Shares here in the several Companies which
are now represented by Messrs.Rothsehild of Paris, to whatn the
concession of the Great Northern of France Railway has been
made, arg naturally desirous to Levee fairprinciple established
in the division of shares among them ; but we fear that a
sort of favouritism is likely to be too general. From this
remark we must not embrace either the principals of the
Rothschilds, the. Lafittes, the Hottingeurs, or the Rosamel
Companies. The subject• is one, however, to which A
considerable degree of interest is attached here and in Paris.
The Laffitte's Shares are at 23% 314 premium to-day, the
Rosamel's at I%tand 1%, and the Pepin le Halleur at rs
premium. The principal changes in the British railways this
morning have been as follows, first premising that the demand
is fair for established and the new and well-selected fresh

lines. The London and Birmingham Shares have been
quoted at 221—the present price nominally. The Bir-
mingham and Gloucester hare realised •as much,
in the course of the morning, as 132. The
Direct Manchester are • nominal, at 4%. The Great
Southern of Ireland, 26% ; the Dublin , and Galway' 51/2 ;
the Edinbugh and Glasgow, nominal at 89 ; the Great
Western ditto, at 168 ; the Half Shares, at 94 ; the Limerick
and Waterford firm, but nominal ; the London and Croydon at
251 ; the Manchester and Birmingham were heavy at 72 ;
the Midland also at 170; the Trent Valley and Holyhead
Junction are on the rise; and the York and North Midlands
have receded a point or two. - In the other Shares the altera-
tions have been but slight. -
