THE S UN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1845

most popular and considerate landowners in that part
Ireland in which his estates are situated.

We are quite satisfied, upon the grounds assigned by
many Peers in this debate, that the Bill requires and
will receive important modifications in Committee. But
on the best consideration we have hitherto been able to
give to the question, we do not see the force of the Mar-
quis of SALISBURY'S objections to have the clause com-
pulsory on the landlord. Certain we are, that if in
other remedial measures intended, honestly enough, as
we believe the present one to be, for the benefit and
social improvement of the Irish people, their principle
bad been made compulsory on the landlord, the tenantry
of that country would never have been in the melancholy
condition in which the mass of them have so long been
plunged. Besides, if the principle of compensation
to the tenant for improvements effected by him
in the property be sound and just, why should
the landlord, who intends to act honestly by him, object
to its being compulsory upon him to administer it ? The
right of the landlord to prevent projected improvements,
where he may show good ground to the Commissioner
or other authority under the Bill, for anticipating that
they will be too costly, or otherwise objectionable, will no
doubt be provided for by the Committee on this Bill
For our own parts, we quite enter into the wish ex-
pressed by the Duke of RICHMOND, that the same prin-
ciple should be extended to the tenant in England and
in Scotland ; which was the best answer ►upplied, in the
course of the debate, to the question put by Lord CLAN-
RICARDE-why the clause confining the operation of the
Act exclusively to Ireland should not be omitted.
We hope and believe that this is not the only fruit we
are to expect from the Tenure of Land Commission in
Ireland, over-which the Earl of DEVON presided. But
we are far from disposed to undervalue ir, taking it even
upon its own isolated merits. It must be evident to
every dispassionate mind which has addressed itself to
the domestic condition of Ireland since the commence-
ment of the present century, that much of the ill feeling
that has existed there against the landlords has been
owing to the cruel manner in which compensation for
actual expenditure on the permanent improvement of the
lands leased or rented by them has been habitually with-
held. We are bound to add, that we look upon the Bill
as another earnest that the Government is seriously set-
ting itself to the task of redressing practical grievances
in the state of Irish society by practical means.

The Irish Colleges Bill, as amended by the Commons
in Committee, has just been printed, and now appears in
a very complete form. All reasonable objections made
to it by the Catholic prelates as regards religious
education and the undermining of the faith and
morals of the students are entirely obviated. Lecture-
rooms are to be assigned for religious instruction;
no student will be allowed to remain in any of the
colleges, unless he shall dwell with his parent or guar
dian, or some near relation or friend, or with a tutor or
master of a boarding-house licensed by the President of
the College; and it shall be lawful for any person having
the power to make an absolute disposition of his property
to convey lands, tenements, or any estate therein for
establishing and maintaining lectures, or other forms of
religious instruction for the use of students, subject of,
course, to such regulations as may be made by the
governing body of the college, and approved by her
MAJESTY, as Visitor. If religious instruction therefore
is regarded by Mr. O'CONNELL and Sir RonEirrlcras
of such vast importance, they will have them-
selves only to blame if ample provision is not
made for that purpose, for if they are sincere in their
opposition to the measure, and would exert themselves
as good Christians, they could raise by subscription in
one year sums which would amply endow teachers of
divinity for all the college. The Government affords
them every facility, and the vote of the House of Commons
for the other objects of these institutions is so liberal, that
they cannot with a serious countenance complain. A
grant at once of 100,0001. has been voted by a large
majority for erecting the buildings, and also the annual
sum of 21,000/. (7,000/. for each) as salaries to the
president, professors, librarians, &c., as well as for
burses and prizes to the put ils. The colleges are to
make reports of their proceedings every year to her
MAJESTY, and copies of these reports are to be la.d
before both Houses of Parliament.

The safe arrival of the noble" Great Britain" steamer
at Plymouth is, in all respects, an era in the history of
what may be justly termed " Scientific Navigation."
The triumph of steam as a motive power, of the Archi-
medean screw as a propelling machinery, and of steerage
over masses however ponderous, and displacement how-
ever extraordinary, may be considered to have been ac-
complished in this trip. She moved along the waters
like a thing " instinct with life," and incorporated with
the element through which she won her rapid but ma-
jestic way. In the whole annals of the noble art of ship-
building nothing approaching to her colossal proportions
has yet been attempted, and the symmetry of her model
is as perfect as that of the best finished and smallest of
the pleasure yachts through which she threaded
her course. This mighty bulwark, moreover, an-
swers her helm with such singular facility and
truth, that even her manoeuvring bids fair to prove as
transcendant and unrivalled as her enormous length, her
six-fold masting, and her combined capacity for tre-
mendous armament and stowage. Leaving her arma-
ment for future notice, we will illustrate the two
other points we have thus noticed by stating that,
prior to taking up her moorings, her captaia brought
her head round to precisely the position which six
minutes previously had been occupied by her stern,
describing in this beautiful evolution a circle little ex-
ceeding in its diameter her own length. Her run,
indeed, is enormous, being 274 feet, but it is associated
with the salutary qualification of unusual width of beam.
Its breadth is in the proportion of between one-fifth
and one-sixth of this length. Its tonnage far exceeds
that of any ship whatever known to be in existence or
to have been ever built. This seems the proper place
to notice what we apprehend must be an error iu the
important Parliamentary Paper (No. 349, H. C., of
this session), the contents of which we noticed the other
day. Under the column giving the date " when
built," we find against the Great Britain the
year 1843 ; and under the column headed " tons "
those figures are repeated. What her registered
tonnage may be we cannot certainly state ; but, if our
memory serves us rightly, the transposition of these
figures, so as to bring the 1843 to 3481, will give a much
more adequate notion of her real capacity. In order to
judge how far the working power is competent to the mass
to be moved, and, therefore, of the effective proportion
of what may be called her material force to her bulk, we
may fairly take a mean between these two estimates of to-
nage according to the Parliamentary Paper (doubtless an
incorrect one) and of her real capacity. Let us suppose

this mean to represent 2,000 tons, and the power will be
the equivalent of about one horse to every two tons. If
the tonnage be taken at 1843, the power is of course still
greater. In either case this is a formidable proportion
a power to tonnage—always bearing in mind, that as
the rate of tonnage increases the proportion of horse-power
must, from various causes, necessarily diminish. It is to the
credit of the Bristol builders—if they needed any praise
to eke out the paramount celebrity they have so justly
acquired by the construction of the Great Western and
the Great Britain—that their steamer craft is generally
remarkable for this same important element of efficiency,
the nice adaptation of these two conditions. The pro-
portion of horse power in the Great Western is still
higher--400 to 679 tons. In that very fine steamer,
Liverpool built, the Hindustan, it is less, being 400 to
971 tons. She, too, is 217 feet and a half long by
35 and a half broad—a proportion of about one- seventh
in width to the length. But among other Bristol craft
of smaller dimensions, especially the tugs, wo find an
enormous increase of power in relation to burden. The
Star, of 140 tons, is of 120 horse-power ; the County of
Pembroke, of 70 tons, 90 horse-power ; the Tiger, 42
tons, 60 horse-power ; and so on. But besides tugs,
there are other steamers built at the same port, as the
Swift, of 100 tons, 100 horse-power ; the Phcaaix, 134
tons, 110 horse-power. The Great Britain, in addition
to her overwhelming superiority of dimensions and
power, has approved herself in speed an unequalled
steamer, and finally, she may be fitted for forty guns of
heavy metal.
It is really with feelings of national pride that we
contemplate the auspicious commencement this master-
piece of naval architecture has made of the long, useful,
and prosperous career, which we trust she is destined
to fulfil. She is a worthy guarantee that the old Eng-
lish supremacy on the seas, through whatever vicissi-
tudes of improvement and extension the noble art of
navigation may yet have to pass, will be vigorously as-
serted and maintained by the sagacity, the spirit, the

liberality, and the native tendencies of the national
genius to maritime pursuits and ship-building. Long
may that spirit and those energies be developed in the
same direction. Long may those tendencies continue
for the advancement of British greatness and prosperity,
the extension of British commerce, the diffusion of Bri-
tish civilization, arts, and institutions, and the conse-
quent welfare of the world at large.

Madrid journals of the 18th have been received, but
they bring no news of importance. The Gazette pub-
lishes an order from the Minister of the Interior, ap-
proving of the estimates for the construction of a line of
telegraphs from Madrid to the French frontier. The
work is to be commenced without delay. There are
many rumours about a Carlist insurrection, but they are
entitled to little credit. Why should the Carlists rise,

when they confidently anticipate that Queel CinurriNA
will arrange all matters to their satisfactiol ?
The Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and
32! at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 or cash, and
21i at 60 days ; and the Passives, at 61 at 6) days.

Most of the Paris papers contain articles on the brief
discussion which took place in the Chamber of Deputies
relative to the settlements in the Pacific. This appears
to be a very exciting subject, for no sooner is Otabeite
mentioned than three or four speakers of the Opposition
demand to be heard, and, in due order, attack the Go-
vernment for want of spirit in submitting to the whims
of a Queen of savages, and allowing the KING to lower
the dignity of France by inditing an epistle to such a
Sovereign. The Ministerial Globe considers such lan-
guage on the part of Frenchmen very ungallant. "M.
DE MALLEVILLE and M. BILLAULT," it says, " Lave
shown themselves very susceptible-as iegards the Royal
dignity. They cannot comprehend that the KING of the
FRENCH should have written to Queen PomAnE, who
obstinately refuses to reply. They forget that Queen
PomAnE first wrote to the KING of the FRENCH, and that
the limo had simply to reply to her letter. Does not
the politeness of the members of the Opposition go so
far as to reply to the letters which are addressed to
them ? Does M. DR MALLEVILLE who, it is said, is
very gallant towards the ladies, think it is civil not to
reply to a Queen ? We are certain that M. DE MALLE-
VILLE would reply to the most humble grisette, and
even pay the postage of his letter. Why, then, may not
the KING of the FRENCH be as polite as M. DE MALLE-
VILLE ?" The Constitutionnel has the weakness to ad-
vert to these " puei Hides," as one of the journals de-
scribes them, in a serious light. Had the discussion
been about the ejection of MEunierr Au from Egypt,
or the division of the Turkish empire, M. TRIERS'
editor could not have been more solemn. He thus
writes:—" Facts speak for themselves. M. DIICHATEL
had the unfortunate notion of referring to the origin of
these questions, covering himself with boastings of the
past against the humiliations of the present. The effect
produced by this sitting was grand and profound.
The Chamber does not stagger, as it was hoped it
would, under the faults and weaknesses of the Govern-
ment. It indeed seemed to grow younger and m,,re
vigorous on the recital of these faults and weaknesses ;
while the anxiety depictei by the countenances of the
Ministers announced that the future appeared to them
in dark and dismal colours. The ridicule of all these
overtures, these actual supplications, to Queen PODLARE,
will not efface the feeling of all the humiliation which
France has suffered from this affair."

The rage for railway speculation in France appears to
be on the increase ; and the precincts of the Chamber
of Deputies are so infested with the parties interested,
that a formal complaint was made on the subject by the
Marquis DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN on Tuesday. " The
Salle des Pas Perdus, adjoining the hall they were
sitting in," said he, " was absolutely encumbered with
persons totally disconnected with the Chamber, who
assailed the Deputies, as they entered, with importuni-
ties relative to the railroad Bills that were or were not
to be placed on the order of the day for discusssion dur
ing the present session. Such conduct he must de,ig
nate as scandalous, and he called on the President to
prevent it for the future." The President, however,
made no remarks, and the Chamber proceeded to dis-
cuss the estimates for Public Instruction.

ILLNESS OF SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT.—The answer to
inquiries this morning, at his temporary residence in
Cumberland-terrace, Regent's-park, is of the same un-
favourable character. Sir William continues in the same
state of weakness, and without any symptoms of im-
provement.
MODEL OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO AT THE
EGYPTIAN HALL.—Captain Siborne has, after great
assiduity and labour, completed the model of the entire
field, covering a surface of about 21 feet by 20 in ex-
tent, and showing the entire lines of both armies, toge-
ther with the Prussian division, under Blucher, at eight
o'clock in the evening. The work is admirably exe-
cuted, and affords the spectator a very distinct and in-
telligible view of what is supposed to have been the
general appearance of this dreadful battle-ground when
the last grand charge was made along the whole line.
It may be said to be a national work, and, we confi-
dently trust, will repay the skill and expense bestowed
apon it.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths during the week ending June 21 was 303, show-
ing a decrease of 42, as compared with the previous
week, and less by 160 than the weekly average of five
years. The fine weather has produced a most favour-
able change in all the diseases of the lungs and other
organs of respiration, the total number of deaths under
that head being only 205, while the weekly average of
five springs is 267, and five years 292. The number of
violent deaths, however, is unusually large, 31 ; and of
these about 10 were from accidents, from falls and in-
juries in the streets, 7 from drowning, 6 suicides, and 6
from burns and scalds, inc:uding the four persons
unfortunately burnt to death by the fire at Raggett's
Hotel. The deaths from small-pox occurred at the
following ages :—two under 1 year ; four 1-2 ; three
5-10 ; one 13 ; one 18 ; three 20-30 ; and two
30-35 years. The fall of rain in inches during the
week was 0.55, and of that 0.50 fell is one day, Tues-
day, the 17th.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.--We feel it due to the pro-
prietor of The Sun newspaper to say, that the public ought
to bear in mind and fully appreciate his exertions in giving
early and correct information. For some time the reports
in the third edition of that paper of the proceedings of the
current day in the Railway Committees, and also in the
[louse of Commons, reflect great credit not only upon the
proprietor, but also upon all the gentlemen concerned
thereon : to the former for the spirited manner in which he
surpasses his Contemporaries, and to the latter for the able
manner in which they carryout the wishes of their employer.
Knowing something of the great expense which Mr. Young
must be put to in these efforts to serve the public, we do not
at all hesitate to award to him our feeble meed of praise.—
