• cam ourage them to husband their hard-earned wages ;
and 1,. order that they may have within themselves the
nu
oidm,eo: such protection, we desire to promote their
morale inteilecuo..-‘l, and professional improvement, and
afford theta alt opport...4llY
of receiving religious instruc-
tion. Foe joionechool improvement it is proposed
that a library and red. ding-tCOnls;;

s attractive ,
eossible to do. For their morn( iPvt,..l.Venieni it is i-)co,
posed that there should be a Savings' bank and registry
of character; and for their religions Improvement it- 15
proposed that there should be a clergyman and visiting
ch'plain to the institution. (Heal', heat') These are
fruitful topics ; but I must be brief. We have lately had
opportunity, more or less, of witnessing the gratifying,
and almost miraculous effects produced by savings' banks.
1 fully 'Tree in the observations made by Mr. Aiken on
this point. Get a labouring man, whether seaman or
landsman, to make use of a savings' bank, and you have
a hold of that man. (Hear, hear.) Ile has something
to keep, and, what instill more elevating to his charact. r,
he has something to give away. (Laughter and cheers.)
And this is not chimerical. I hold in my hand the last
report of the institution in London, similar to that we
now desire to establish here. And I learn one most gra-
tifying instance recorded in this report :—" It is a cir-
cumstance most gratifying to the directors to .be enabled
again to state that of the £20,000 of sailors' mosey which
passed through our hands, £4,800 was money
,sent by the
officers of the institution. to sailors at their own homes,
-or to their relations in
.various parts of the country."
(Applause ) Here is the prospect which Mr. Aiken pre-
sented in theory realised in pracdce. (Hear, hear.) I
do hope that the savings' batik part cif the plan wilt be
most diligently and skilfully carried out. (Hear, hear.)
Then as moral improvement advances, a register of
character carefully
.kept will give the seaman the ani-
mating encouragement that his moral character is not
lost si..ht of, and will secure his reward, by securing
more readily advantageous engagements as he goes on.
And knowing, sir, that all such engagements must
speedily terminate, and recollecting that the seaman,
after all, has an eternity to spend, it is an integral and
important part of our plan to give him the opportunity at
least to learn the redeeming love of " Him who died and
rase again for us men and for our salvation,—thet so, our
sea-faring brother may, by the grace of God, working in
due season, find a return of that practical grateful love
for that pardoning love which lie has mercifully exneri-•
enced, and thus find, within his own bosom, the germ
of e vernal love in conformity to the character of God,
for " God is love." These are the chief features of the
plan. The rev. gentleman then appealed to the liberality of
our merchant princes for contributions for the effectual
carrying oat of the project, and afterwards•proceeded as
follows :--Simply on commercial grounds the matter
nrieht be argued. You Lace heard this already. The im-
proved character of the seamen—the imprOyed intelligence
of the most subordinate members of the crew, and the
consequent increased safety of the vessel in the case of
accident or illness of the master or mate :—these, and
kindred consequences might to speak with a loud voice
to owners, and undewriters, and insurance companies.—
( Loud .applause.) On Christian principles the matter
may he urged. This, also, has been alluded to ; and
surely, sir, it ought to be an object with British Christians
that the men who carry throughoet the world the-match.
less specimens of England's handicraft in manufactures
ought themselves to be specimens of the Christianity of
England—(continued applause)—instead of being, as too
many of our neglected seamen, alas, now are—profane,
dissolute, and drunken stumbling-blocks in the way of the
heathen where they visit. And the decks and wooden
walls of Old England—her best defence in the day of
danger--manned by her indomitable tars, who never
struck her flag—(cheers)--theSe might he pleaded—these
might also be surriugly addressed, and especially at this
moment, when this feeling has been tnade to thrill through
the nation. For it was only on Monday last, the anniver-
sary of the battle of Trafalgar, the Victory was decorated
as usual, that our Sovereign, Queen Victoria—whom God
preserve !—(applause)—went on hoard that vessel. She
ascended the quarter-deck—came where it is inscribed,
" Here Nelson fell." She paused—read the inscription
thoughtfully, and then she plucked a leaf of the wreath
of laurel that encircled the spot and clasped it to her
royal—her right. English heart. (Vehement applause).
And her attention was called to the Admiral's signal on
that remarkable day, when she read, with a full, emphatic
voice—" England expects every man to do his duty."
Here, sir, a thousand recollections and associations start
to 'be mind—all well ca•calated to give our seamen their-
proper place in our consideration, and every plan for their
welfare, and to furnish claims on our substantial gratitude.
For though our seamen are not now called to the dis-
charge of such dreadful duties—and we trust, in the over-
ruling providence of the most High, for a continuance of
peace—yet, deeds of days gone by—deeds, productive of
peace. because decisive in war, ought not to be forgotten;
and if it was the sailor's duty then to fight, to do his part
to preserve to ou; use the happy homes of old England,
it is equally the duty of every Briton in our day to supply
a horee-for Britain's seamen. (Great cheers.) But, sir,
I urge a softer theme. 1 observe in One of the resolutions
an allusion to the children, especially of the orphan child-
ren, of oar seamen ; and, when I read this, my attention
reverted from it naturally enough, to the parents of our
seamen. I consider the multitude of youths that I see
amongst the seamen in the town, and I picture to myself
the anxious fathers and affectionate mothers of those
young men following them with their prayers and tears to
your port. (Hear.) Sir, the poor have tender feelings
as well as pressing wants. It bet nys a geevnus ignorance
of them to assert that their natural affections are less ten-
der than our own. (Hear: hear.) Who among 4 us that
is not a parent—l believe I ought to say, who, that is not
as merino., can adequately enter into the feelings of a
mother for her sailor boy. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
She dreads the sea, 'tis true; but she dreads the shore
still more. She fancies her dear child taking his turn of
duty on the deck or in the rigging, and then turning
into his hammock, and, through all this. her heart can
litieer with him, and she can surround him with the
shelter of her prayers. But when he comes-on shore,
and she attempts to trace his steps—alas ! her heart sinks
at the too probable a pert, her prayer falters, and she ,
would fain dismiss, if pesdble, the thought of him alto-
gether, than endure the revolting association. (Hear.)
Oh ! behold, then,' sir, what boon you confer on such a
mother by the establishment of a Sailors', Home. (Cheers.)
There, her heart •may linger about her darling child !
there ,she may imagine him still returning to hs bed of
soberness and chastity ! there, she may linger with her
supplications to the God of all mercy for a blessing upon
her son, end a blessing upon his friends and benefactors,
who supplied him withsueh a refuge! (Continued cheers.)
Oh ! sir, this one feeling alone—and with this I must,
for the present et least, conclude—this one feeling should
more than recompense for every Christian effort, and
every Christian sacrifice that we can make on this behalf.
For, sir. if there he on earth a spot of Paradise unstained
by the fall of Adam—a lovely, lingering trace of God's
own image upon our nature!—if there be a shrine into
which selfi lances has never entered, but where disinte-
rest-d affection sits enthroned !—if there be a string un
relaxed by the damp vapours of our fallen atmosphere,

The Rev. J. Toon BROWN seconded the motion ;
and it was supported by the Rev. Rector CAMPBELL, who
said the subject was one in which, as a clergyman of the ,
Church of England, and as one of tie rectors of Liver- ,
pool, he took the deepest interest and concern. Ile
confessed he had more pleasure in supporting this cause
' because he could not discover in it any elements of po-
litical or religions controversy, and that in the present
day was really a very great satisfaction. It was an ob-
ject in which all classes could join midi the rarest cordial
unanimity—in which all could co operate without the
possibility of having their motives misconstrued. It was
one, therefore, which he had the greatest possible satis-
faction in aiding by.every means in his power. (Cheers.)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. GEORGE GRANT moved the appointment of a
committee; and, after expressing his approbation of the

they would not be unsuitable or injurious to them.

SHIPBUILDING.

•
TO THE EDITOR OF TILE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Si s,—ln giving a few sin tures on practical shiubuild-
ing, for the lamination of your readers, for the further.
:once of this end it will not be out of place to introduce a
few remarks on the nature of displacement, and resistance
of fluids. Displacement is a term in hydrostatics, ef-
fected by the removal of a column of water through the
immersion of any sold body therein placed. whercby the
weight of such bodies may with the greatest accuracy he.
obtained. All vessels or solids cotnposing lighter materials
than water, Such as logs of wood, a ship, or any other
floating substance, displace by their immersed part ex-
actly as much water as their specific gravity, for example
suppose a ship with all her materials weighs 400 tons,
when afloat her immersed part removes a column of water
equal to 14,000 cubic feet, a cube foot of salt water being
equal to 64 lbs. weight, or 35 cubit to the ton ; divide
14,000 by 35, the produce will he 400 tons, the weight of
the ship. Again, take a log of fir timber measuring 30
cubic feet, the specific gravity of which being 48 lbs. to.
the cube foot, the weight of this log-b&ng 14401b5. ; float
this log in salt water, it will be seen that it displaces a co-
lumn thereof equal to 221 cubic feet, which multiply by
64, the• produce will be 1440165, the weight of the log,
. thus shooing that the average weight of fir timber is one
quarter light-r than salt wat-r, from the log floating
cube feet above the surrace. Furthermore, take a pig of
.ast.iron one foot cube, the specific gravity of which is
464 lbs., sink it in salt water, •and weigh it therein, its
weight wdl he found no more than 400 lbs., having lost
64 lbs. by its displacing one cubic foot of water thereby
becoming that much more buoyant. These examples, as
displacement
illustrations, areof allstiffici

stability of vessels of passage and burthen, with them
everything depends, as to their safety, on the correctness
of their form, thereby producing regularity of displace-

ment, which alone can constitute a safe sea.gning ship.
It is, therefore, of the first moment that all vessls of pas-
sage and burdien, should be so constructer, that every
section, fore and aft, as far es the cargo extends, should
he fully borne up and supported by the fluid in which she
is to pass, otherwise she will soon promote her own de-
struction. Should a ship be flat in midships, and ex-
tremely sharp forward and abaft, with a cargo extending
fops god aft, she has then a ruinous up-pressure s rain in
tiiids,ip that will soon disjoint her, from its forming two
levers %%ime length extends beyond tile half-length ot the
vessel ; the like evil will attend vessels built, either fel
forward or abaft, wi.ereby the centre f.,!: dispiffeinent
removed from Its nature' ocsition, and the lever becomes
more extended : in the former there are two levers con-
3tantly in action, in the latter but one, yet the le..Cfpf the
one, from its length, will prove equally destructive:..l
have known ships built in our naval yard, which were
supposed when in proper trim to swim on an even keel,
draw when launched nearly twice as much water abaft as
forward ; to bring those shies on an even keel. a eery con-
siderable portion of their weight must be placed to the
foreside of their half length ; how ruinous, then, must be
the effect produced from such a principle ! From this it
may be seen how great is the responsibility of ship-
builders, and with• what caution they should act, lest by
introducing novelties they might not only prove useless
but dangerous innovations. It is therefore obvious that
such care should always be taken in the construction and
formation of vessels, that the centre of displacement
should judiciously take the place of the centre of gravity,
which cannot be effected unless it nit ets near the half-
length of the vessel, by which means the foie and after bo-
dies may be so rego'wed and equalised, that no section
should be under the necessity of requiring support from
its neighbour section.
The resistance of fluids in reference to shipbuilding is
that obstruc;ion which all floating bodies have to encoun-
ter in proportion to their velocity in passing through the
water. Wise men, in all ages, from Hato to Newton, and
from him to the present day, have written volumes with
the view of giving a demonstrative proof, which solid pre-
sents the least resistance; unfortunately for the maritime
world, the figures given are lilt,' the alchyn-iistS' transron.
Winn, absorbed in theory. Many excellent writers on
shipbuilding, on every other subject have in clear and dis-
tinct terms explained their theorems, excepting that of
resistance, and wit h.it the principles of velocity. On these
stit.jects they are completely at a stand. Many clever
men have attempted to establish a theory, models in
water, drawn along by pulleys and weights, in which they
are ill at variance; and why, because all experiMents,
with models by water, as proofs ot the stability or velocity
of a ship under canvass, are like the search( s utter peree-
tut' motion, ineffectual in producing a principle. As well
may the strength of a ship's main-mast be decided from
the strength of its model on' a g,.e.der scale. Therefore
every attempt of the kind has, and ever will prove abor-
tive; observation and experience alone must determine
on the very essential question. Flaying thus far entered
on this important subject, shall resume it again next
week.—l am. sir, &c.

O'CONNELL AND THE WHIGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

sia,—.pid you ever happen to observe two boys at-
tempting to mount a wall ? They both puff and .blow.
and tug, but find that singly it is useless, till at last the
bigger of the two hoists the other on his shoulders, who,
when he arrives at the top, gives his fellow a hand, and
thus they both succeed. This, sir, is the exact position of
the Whigs at tte present day ; they find it utterly impos-
sible, as how should it he posstble, to walk into office, and
at last have recourse to that " Jack of trades," Daniel
O'Connell, to assist them to motuct the wall.
Daniel O'Conaelkand the Whigs! beautiful coalition !
admirable cot pact ! This second edition of the Lichfield
House affair is to bear down ell opposition, and overcome
every obstacle. The armies are uniting. the generals ere
laying their wise heads together, if not single-handed, at
least with accumulated forces, they intend to for.ce the
citadel of the constitution, they purpose to raze ell monu-
ments of toryism, leaving nought hut its ashes to testify
its ruin. O'Connell and the Whigs! wondrous ass‘,.
eiation ! behold the parted enemies are become united
friends once more ! the " base," the " bl otly." and the
" brutal," are reconciled to their vilifier! and the exqui-
si:e patriot ! the distinterested patriot, who puts himself
to the trouble of robbing the pockets of the poor of
£28,000 a-year ! the persecuted martyr, who has become
fat under government pay is going to travel the wished-
for road to place. in conjune'ion with the Waerltss. crouch-
ing animals of the other side of the water ! where each
will bear each other's burden, and both will stand up for
each other where mutual obligation is absolutely neces-
sary.
How naked must Whtgery have become to need
the Irish ragamuffin coat of O'Connell to hide their na-
kedness ! to what a depth of lowness must they have
sunk when Daniel O'Connell is grit: fully accepted to lift
them from the contempt of their mean and disgraceful
situation! They are fawned ueon and beslavered by their
former vilifier, for it suits his purpose; the flattery has its
effect, and they lawn and bcslaver in return. How beau-
tiful to. look upon is their gentlenez,s! how aluiraLle is
their meekness ! the. worm turns not again-.t the butt of
former abuse, and ridicule kisses the cheek of its reviler !

What a despicable little plaything it is in the hands of
the cunning o!d fox ! what a puny, vary t y, tossed and
befingered by the sly old artificer. Oh! t:,ke care of it,
when thou hast it, Dan ! Hold it fast in thy retentive
claw, keep it in thy tr, acherous trap ; don't let it gotyhen
its feet are so conveniently embedded in the mire ; if it
could, like a serpent, it would sling thee, and scruple not
to tread over thy carcase into emoluments and office.
It is, indeed, viewed abstractedly. a lamentable Ging to
behold Whigvery floundering and kicking in th,, hole, and
calling upon "Daniel O'Connell to lend a hand and help it
out ! It is indeed lamentable to behold that great Cce,ar
in the midst of the roaring waters of destruction, ant cry-
ing to the Irish Cas,ius, " Helu me, or I sink !" it is, in-
deed, lamentable to behold so great talents prostituted to
the demoniac altar of repeal! to see such astonishing and
leviathan powers sold for golden place—to see all that was
once gay and flourishing ! all that \ins once power/ut
that was once rearing ifs head proudly above the billows
of political condemnation—that once firmly and nobly
stuck in its place, notwithstanding public clamour for re.
signation ! to see all this beibed into silence, frehted tufts
non-entity, beaten into ;gnominy! Alas, poor WhiggerY,
let me lament thy fate! let me mourn the disgrace of thy
ignominious end ! ThPre thou layest! Whexe ? I can-
not tell ; but we bear a faint noise, we hear a dying gasp ;
there is something said about a renewal Of lite by a di,
graceful coalition: but thou art so little the wiorldychaany'et.
see thee; the remnant of thy mortality is coffined in ob-
scurity'!The last•convulsive struggle before total annihilation is
last taking place in the political atmosphere.

tried in the registration courts; they have tried on the
Platform of every theatre, great and small, in the king-
dom ; they have tried every way, and by every means, hut
oi has been of no avail—all their efforts have been use-
less; and this, this is their last refuge--this is their only
remaining chance—this is their dying effort. O'Connell
is arch enough to make a profession of amity to the
Whigs, the Whigs are reduced low enough to acetpt the
offers of O'Connell. Well, let them combine ; le, them
have their full tame out ; they both will be involved in
one common ruin—they both shall fall into the pit too.
