service and those in actual progress in building
With respect to steamers, though our war steamers
in commission are more than double the number of
those in the French service, very short notice
would suffice to swell their number to a vast extent
Steamers of large size and great power, en-
poyed in trade and for passengers the property Of
our several steam packet companies, would be in
stantly available for the public service as vessels of
war, should they be required for that purpose.
LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-Lous Napoleon had for some
time previous to his mad attempt at Boulognc, been
residing in this country. He first lived for nearly a
year and half No. IL, Garlic terrace, Pall-mall
and subsequently, up to Tuesday week, occupied a
furnished house belonging to Earl Ripon, No Carl
ton gardens. Prince Louis Napoleon is about q
wears of age. and is stated to be remarkably fine
looking man. About the time above spoken of, his
name also identified in this country with an in
tended duel with person claiming to be an illeg-
innate of the late Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte,
but which prevented by the interference OF the
police: soon after which he co implanted 10 the po-
lice authorities that he anticipated attempt TO
sassinate him would be made, in consequence Of
which the neighbourhood of a cottage between

frequently called, was watched by the police. For
some weeks lately numerous strangers (foreigners)
have been observed at the residence of the Prince,
who now supposed to have been the individuals
whe acc ON pan led him to Boulogne. The Edinbursh
Castle steam vessel belongs to the General Steam
Packet Company, who, in letting the vessel, had
the slightest idea that II taken for the of
the Prince, much less for so mad an expedition
The en- gagemcnt entered INTO with the Com

rho represented to the Directors that he wished it
for party of respectable gentlemen, who for their
avn pleasure intended proceeding round the coast
The vessel was taken by the week, and il was re-
presented that this trip might occupy fortnight

BRITIsH TRADE WITH INDIA AND THE Colo
MES by careful analysis If some voluminous
turns recently laid before Parliament, the following
results deduced The trade with India exhibits
a comparatively small increase, having amou nted to
rather than three millions seven hundred and
sixty eight thousand in 1893. The most wonderful
Increase that has taken place in the colonial trade is
with regardt TO the Australian settlements. L he to-
tai exp ,rts Of those colonies in 1921 OF the
value Of ELS, Ill., which, in 1888, had increased to
f1, ,662; showing increase of ten fold in that
period. In the same period the trade with the
North American colonies increased from 81 ,259 507
to 81 1872, iJ9; that with the British West Indies
bad decreased from S4,320,5Sl to f3,39i ,90S-
latter sum, however, being nearly million
sterling higher than the value Of the exports TO
those colonies in 1881, 1882, or 1888 The trade
Of the islands of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney,
nd in I'd N Shnxv,
increa Of less than El000O in seventeen years
The total increase on the trade with the colonies be-
tween the year 1921 and the year 1888, to have
been rather than two millions and half sterl
ing, the value Of the colonial trade in 1921 having
been Ell ,053 633, and in 1893, cl3, 6s9, 267. To
show how immensely our trade with India might be
extended, il is stated that If manufactured cot
tons to the amount of two fanans head 3d) were
to be taken by the population OF the Carnatic, Ca
nara, Bengal and Orssa, the annual increase IN the
export of the cacoes would be than O00. 00Ol
and surely this IN consideration worth the atten-
tion of our manufacturing classes.
Qutcx MoDE or GETTING SrEAM.-Licutc-
Janvier, ofthe French navy has Just discovered
the means of getting up the steam OF engines with
such rapidity that in ten minutes from the rst light
ing Of the fire. and although the water in the boiler
be quite cold, vessel may be set in motion. THIS
is, IL is added, to be accomplished without any add
tional apparatus, and very little expense.
