1860 this force was expanded to SO line-of bat

ships, iron-cased ships, 1l6 corvettes and
sloops, u smaller vessels, 1872 gun-boats, 8
1oating batteries, besides IS transports, and
morter ships. In 1852 France possessed afloat
and building six line 'ot-battle q frigates, 81
corvettes and sloops, and 81 gun vessels des
patch boats, and small craft In 1860 our
faithful ally had augmented her navy 81 line-of
battle, AZ frigates, iron-cased ships, 10 cor
vettes, 66 gunboats, 8 floating batteries, 81
transports, and 80 avisos. Thus in the last
eight years England has increased her steam
fleet from 135 to 292 OF all denominations,
while France has augmented her navy from
~ 10 oUo steamships OF all classes. 1t should
be born in mind that this large and rapid in
crease in both navies in lines-of-battles and frig-
ates has been effected to great extent by the
conversion of sailing ships, although more in
the French navy than in the British This, to
certain extent, accounts for the rapid growth
ana re construction of the navy of the Emper-
or, the process Of conversion being more
speedy and much less expensive than building.
Thus the number of men required to convert
three-decker into 80 gun ship is about five
elghths OF the number required to build a ne "
9O'gun steamship. The chief difference in the
cost OF conversion arises from the saving of
material. The cost of converting ine.of-bat-
tie ship is estimated at E25,000, and cost of
building the same at 9l05, 1000; but the latter
Is by far the best and most durable vessel. 1t
is clear, therefore, that if the SUNG voted for
our Navy Estimates for labour and material are
greater than those expended in France, taking
snip for ship, yet, as we have not relied so
much upon conversion" as our neighbors, our
ships are, generally speaking, much stronger,
having been laid down as Screws" Never
theless, the progress which France has made,
and is now making to form powerful steam
navy is consideration which cannot be over
looked, and will determine for some time to
come the amount of our naval expenditure.

Caleb Gushing, since his return to Washing
ton, is said to have received many blushing
honors at the hands of the president and his
supporters. The old man in the White House
laid his ancient distruSt aside, and received
the returning soldier with open arms. Mr..
Cushing receives the fire of the retTeating
Douglas battalions with great equanimity.
Mr. Toombs of Georgia, was the author of
the address to the seeding delegates urging
them to return and participate in the action of
the Baltimore convention. 1t was a vigorous
and forcible statement of the reasons tor such
a course, and was published according to his
own draft, without modification,
The judiciary committee of the Senate pro-
pose to introduce bill at an early day to COM
pei the attendance of witnesses before commit

thority existed for the recent arrest of San
born, then the officers who officiated will be
subjected to Imprisonment for five years in the
penitentiary, by the laws of Massachusetts,
prohibiting kidnapping under that peealty.
The democrats in Newburyport held meet
ing, last week, at which resolution was in
troduced recommending Douglas for the presi-
dency The resolution was the subject of a
lively discussion, when it was amended by the
substitution of Caleb Cushing's name for Mr..
Douglas, and, by very narrow escape, was
indefinitely postponed.

The last arrivals from Europe represent the
state of affairs in King Bombas dominious as
far from peaceful The instruction Of the
Sicilians against the rascally government
which only keeps peace in Naples at the point
of the bayonet, is by no means quelled From
the 4th of April, when the instruction broke
out at Palermo, the island of Sicily has seen con.
tinual lighting, several desperate battles, great
loss of life, bloodshed, pillage, and wanton de-
struction of property. The royal troops have
shown themselves fit instruments to do the
dastardly work of the bgoted young tyrant
who is styled king of Naples. A fierce en-
gagement which took place at Monreale re-
suited in the total demolition of that place,
one of the most lovely spots in Sicily, and a
fayorite summer resort ofthe Palermitans A
terrible battle was fought on the 18th at Carini,
eighteen miles from Palermo. Here the insur-
gents, to the number of nearly three thousand,
had entrenched themselves. The number of
the attacking force is not clearly stated; but it
seems probable that it was much larger. The
siege was kept up for three days, and then the
insurgents were forced to retreat the royal
troops having been reinforced, they retired to
Partenico. The troops entered the town, and
although the Neapolitan flag was flying from
every window, they thoroughly sacked the
place, massacred women and children, even in
the churches, and burned the houses of those
men who demonstrated. The loss on both
sides in this siege supposed to be not far from
six hundred.

his consent to the daring scheme, and who,
people think, would not have embarked in the
expedition had he considered it as perfectly
hopeless. Were Garibaldi to seccumb in the
attempt, he would most assuredly sell his life
at very high rate, and the bitterness with
which his cup of existence has lately been
filled, from variety Of causes, inclines peo-
pie to think that a glorious end would not be
considered the worst of contingencies.
The last reports from the island are con-
fiicting. If Garibadi and the revolted Sicili-
ans are successful, it will be gratifying news,
as it would help out of existence the knavish
governments at Naples and Rome.

The ENGLISH PENNr.--The general design
of the new English penny is as follows One
side contains portrait of the Queen, over the
shoulders scarf, embroidered with the rose,
thistle, and shamrock, being thrown. The
inscription is-"Victoria, ID. G. Brit. Reg f.
d." Britannia appears on the reverse, seated
on a rock, not on the shield, as in the present
coin; but the figure has been remodeled, and
lhe sea has been introduced, with ship on
one side of the figure and a lighthouse on the
other. The inscription is, zone Penny, 1866"
The likeness of the Queen is said to be truth
full, her Majesty having honored Mr. Wyon
with several sittings The composition of the
coin is, "a parts copper, zinc, 2 tin. This
amalgamaton allows thin as well as n small
coin, and the new penny is not much larger
than the bronze two.sous pieces of France.

Love IN HUMBLE LIFE.-In East Boston a
few weeks since, was borne to the grave, a
maiden wife OF less than twenty years of age.
Her husband and lover, young man of twen-

each other from childhood, and were to have
been married some six or seven months since.

Nearly all his leisure from labor was passed

was inevitable, she expressed desire to par
