they sit and stand, and lounge rant
nig, shouting, laughing, gesticulating, or dozing, like cats,
with half-closed eyes, upon the warm stone steps; or,
with true brotherly humanity, exploring the animated
nature of each others elf-locks—beautiful, beastly crea-
tures. With those specimens of all that is finest in form
and colour lie a rabble of hideous deformities, whose sole
occupation is to extort money from every Passenger that
walks, or carriage that drives, by them. Women with
huge goitres ; men, with withered arms, hump-backed,
blear-eyed, fever-smitten, halting, squinting; idiots lol-
ling out their tongues and goggling their eyes ; the blind,
; babies in arms and old creatures on crutche-
nd •

ati swarm round the wretched wayfarer, and, with vocife:
rous outcries, persecute him for alms. Words fit only
for dogs do not repel them, nor the threatening arm and
lifted hand. They have lost all sense of shame, or of in

jury. They are triple-cased in the impervious callous-
ness of the lowest degradation. The beauty of the women
of the middle and lower class of Rome is something really
wonderful: the richest colouring, great purity of features
and nobility of form, particularly in the outline of the
head and its position on the shoulders. Their persons
are generally clumsy, however, and their feet and ancles
extremely ugly, thick, and ill-shaped : their divinity
comes no ower than their shoulders,--11/re. Butler,

EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a board
of examination held on the 19th inst., Mr. James Joseph
Kelly, late mate of the brig Castilian Maid, of London,

qualified for a first-class certificate.

MELANCHOLY DEATH. Yesterday an inquest was
held at Aigburth, before Mr. Heyes, the county coroner,
on view of the body of James Billinge, of the police force,
formerly a bridewell keeper, and latterly a clerk in the
Watch-office, where he was much respected for his atten-

his mother went to market, and during her absence
the child fell into a water-tub, about a yard high. On the
return of his mother, and not finding the deceased in the
place, she instituted a search, and soon found that he was
in the tub with his head downwards. He was taken out
quite dead. There was a tin can in his hand, with which,
it was supposed, he was amusing himself in the water,
when he overbalanced himself on a chair or form, and
fell in head foremost.—On Wednesday night, James
Whalley, three months' old, living in Naylor-street, was
taken to bed in good health on Wednesday night, and he
took the breast and slept soundly. The following morning
his mother got up, and did not return to see how he was
getting on until about midday, when she took him up, and
found that he was dead. The bedclothes were over his
face at the time, and the surgeon was of opinion that
death had been caused by suffocation. The jury repre-
hended the mother for absenting herself from the unfor-
tunate infant for so long a time.—About a week before
Christmas-day, whilst Agnes Woolridge, a female nearly
seventy years of age, who lived as servant with Mrs. Blen-
nerhassett, a widow, in Knight-street, was in the act of
going up stairs, she slipped, fell upon her back, and frac-
ture&her leg, and of that injury she died in the infirmary
on Friday.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

OUR STEAM NAVY.

A friend has sent us a list of her Majesty's steam vessels
afloat and not yet completed, by which it appears there
are 156 steamers afloat, of which 43 are not yet com-
pleted-27 of which are for paddles, and 16 with an ag-
gregate power of 6644 horses, or an average of 4154 horse
pOwer each vessel, for screws. The Terrible and Fervent,
each 1842 tons, are ,the largest steamers in the navy.
They are both paddle steamers, and, with the Retribu-
tion, 1640 tons, have engines of 800 horse power each.
The Simoon is the screw steamer with the greatest power,
780 horses ; when she is finished we shall see how her
performances bear comparison with the three steamers
(paddles) which arc so near her own power. Next comes
the Vulcan (screw), with 700 horse power ; then the
Euphrates and Termagent, 620 horse power each ; the
Dauntless, 580 horse power; the Greenock, 510 horse
power, and many more of 400, 300, 200, and 100 horse
power, will, by the time they are all in commission and
have been tried, give us some very good idea of the prac-
ticability of the screw as a means of propulsion for war
steamers.

The steam-ships of war belonging to the French navy
completed, in senie,e, and in course of construction, only
number 91 vessels altogether, of which number 19 are in
course of construction,"with an aggregate power of 5080
horses, or, on an average, 2671 horse power each vessel.
The vessels the French have in course of construction' are,
one of 640, two of 450, six of 320, two of 220, six of 160,
one of 120, and one of 100 horse power each.

Although in numerical strength we can show a great
superiority over our neighbours, we arc, we fear, not in a
position to rely too much on our practical sunerioritv_

We have a number of completely useless vessels for the
ordinary purposes of warfare, or, as experience has lately
shewn us, even for the purpose of carrying jiie mails.
Every crotchetty old commander with sufficienrinfluence
to get an appointment from the Admiralty, has been
allowed to construct a steamer, and everybody knows that
many vessels have been built in consequence that have
turned out perfectly useless. As far as iron steamers,
either for paddles or screws, are concerned, we are certain
that Liverpool is behind no port in the world, nor her
Majesty's dockyards, for turning out beautiful models,
substantial work, and engines and machinery that will

defy competition. Let our war steamers be built by con:
tract, (always under superintendence,) and we are sure
the country will be great gainers, both in cost and quality.

by year, to maintain; by rates, those of our popula-

When have Ireland's gentry shewn a disposition to
do either of these things ? Never. Surely, then,
it is not fair for us, who have not brought it about,
to be asked, whenever calamity falls upon Ireland,
to repair the evil which Irish improvidence and
