floetactipt. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEP. 11. The news from the Spanish frontier received this morning, is more scanty than we anticipated. The following telegraphic despatch appears in the Moniteur of Monday, received along with the other Paris Jour- nals of that date Bayonne, Sept. 8.—On the 6th fifty superior officers and other personages belonging to the Conrt of Don Carlos, and sixty subaltern officers, a great number of ladies, and the Archbishop of Cuba, sought refuge at the Aldndes, in France others are expected." The Carlist organs announce that a reaction in favour of Don Carlos has already manifested itself in the Basques. The Gazette de France says that his par- tisans were never more powerful in Valencia, Arragon, and Castile than they are at present, and that the war is by no means at an end. Don Carlos merely holds out to make terms with the Government. Before surrendering, he wishes to know the conditions of the treaty which France and England are prepared to guarantee in his favour. The contest for the Crown is clearly hopeless. There is no domestic news in the French Journals of Monday. The Speech of the Queen Regent of Spain on open- ing the ordinary Session of the Cortes of the kingdom on the 1st inst., has been received in this country but it does not allude to the treaty between Espartero and Maroto, which, of course, could not have reached the Spanish capital before the opening of the Cortes. The Speech represents the state of Spain as being upon the whole sufficiently, satisfactory. When we take into consideration the long continuance of the civil .war-its fratricidal character—its brutally demoralis- ing tendency—and its natural effect upon the habits of a proud, indolent, superstitious people, we cannot help being struck with the few outrages which under cir- cumstances so trying have disturbed social order in Spain. We are particularly pleased to learn that the Spanish Government is most anxious to do justice to the claims of the public creditor, and we trust that this very important question will be early brought under the consideration of the Cortes. There is but little appearance of activity at the Stock Exchange to-day, no news having been received from any part of the world that is calculated to operate on the Markets. The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to pass the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, constituting and appointing the Right Hon. Thomas Baron Monteagle, Comptroller-General of the Receipt and Issue of her Majesty's Exchequer. DEATH OF SIlt JOHN BRYDGF.S.—We have to an- nonnce the demise of this gallant officer, which took place on Friday last, at his seat, Wotton Conrt, Kent. Sir John was in his 75th year, and was Captain of Sancgate Castle, and a Commissioner of Dover Harbour. Hewasbrother in law to Le late Marquis of Waterford, and to the Lord Primate of Ireland, having married, April 14. 1816, Lady Isabella Anne Beresford, eldest daughter of George, the first Marqnis. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On FI iday morning between ten and eleven, on the arrival of the train at the Wolverton station, In- spector Watts was about to step from the parale on to the carriages, when his foot slipped, and he instmtlv fell be- tween the carriages and the wheel, tearing lis right arm from the shoulder, when the train passed over his body, crushing him in a most dreadful manner. Medical aid was instantly sent for, but death had terminated his itifferings. SToCKS-Baiik Stock. -3 per Cent. Ret. -3 per Cent. Cons. 91 —per Cent.

N T II E following RESOLUTIONS having been N agreed to by numerous friends and supporters of the MINING JOURNAL." are submitted to the mining com- munity at large, with the view of extending the objects beyond the iimits of a private subscription Resolved.—That the "MINING Jo"RNAL," being devoted to the advocacy and advancement of the mining interests, and to the dissemination of knowledge connected with the several branches of science appertaining to the working of mines, a.- also recording the operations and proceedings of public companies generally, is a publication highly deserving the support and encouragement of the public. Resolved, That the thanks of the mining community, and all those embarked in legitimate mining pursuits, are eminentlv doe to Mr. ENGLISH, for the spirit and enterprise manifested by him during the past four years in the establishment and carrying on of that pubiieation, as hdbrding protection to the interest of the miner and mine adventurer. Resolved, 1 hat Mr. ENGLISH, in theexposition of abuses, and more particularly in the late action brought by Mr. W. M. THOMAS (in which the pl-.inlilr obtained one farthing damages), having subjected himself to proceedings at law, which have been attended with heavy expenses, however favourable mav have been the issue, it is proper that he should be held harmless from any pecuniary loss arising from the conscientious performance of his duties, and from which the mining interest has derived s I much benefit. Resolved, That, with the view of effecting this object, a sub- scription be immediately opened and that communications he entered into with parties interested in mining pursuits generally, requesting their co operation Resolved,—1 hat the names of subscribers be requested to be transmitted to the office of Messrs. ASTON and WALLIS, 2, New Broad-slreet. City and that a meeting be held on an early day for determining what sum out of the amount so sub- scribed shall be appropriated to the purpose of presenting to JUr. ENGLISH a lasting testimony of the approbation 01 the Sub- scribers, of the line of conduct which he has uniformly pursued in conducting the MINING JorRNAL." Resolved,-That notices of such meeting be transmitted to everr Subscriber at least ten days before holding the same; and that, in the interim, lists be published of the subscriptions received. London, September 4, 1839. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND GRAZIERS. GROWTH OF WOOL. THOMAS BIGG, Chemist, &c., 15, Crawford- Street, Porlman-square, London, begs to call the attention of Farmers and Graziers to his valuable SHEEP DIPPING COMPOSITION, for curing the SHAB or SCAB, preventing the FLY, and destroy- ing the 11CK, and ail other insects injurious to the Flock. The use of this Preparation has been found by numerous opulent and extensive Farmers not only to INCREASE the value and quantity of the WOOL, but likewise considerably to IMPROVE the condi- tion of the Sheep. They may be dipped throughout the year, during mild weather. If it is requirt-d to protect them from the ravages of the Fly, the operation must be performed as early in the season as possible, and for those much affected with the Shab, repeated dippings may be fr«nd necessary. Whilst it cannot be denied that the dipping of Store Sheep and Lambs is very important, a little attention vvi 1 show that even those to be. fatted will derive benefit, inasmuch, as by destroy ins: the Tick, &c. (which are known to harass and irritate the animal) they are more likely to go on well. A prejudice exists in the minds of many Farmers, that tbe one- rationot DIPPING is attended with danger tllthe animal, in con- sequence of the serious losses some have sustained from the use of other preparations of a dangerous nature in dressing their Sheep the Proprietor of the above Composition begs to assure all Flock- masters and Breeders of Sheep, that no injury rrm result fmm the use of Ins preparation, if performed according to the printed di- rections. Directions for use accompany each packet Prepared and sold by THOMAS BtGG, Chemist, &c., at the Laboratory, 15, Crawford-street, Porlman-square, London, at 9d. per lb., or in quantities of 100 lbs., cask included, being amply sufficient to dress 500 Sheep, H3 10s.

BIGG begs to subjoin the following testimonials, which have been kindly furnished him by some extensive and practical Farmers who have used this Composition- East Church, Isle of Sheppy, Keul, r. c r „ Feb- '25,ll> 1838- DE*b SIR—In speaking of your "Sheep Dipping Composition." I can say, 1 have rotinrt It of most es-ential service in killing and pre- venting Lice and licks in Sheep..)n(i preventing the Ft). I have nipped 2000 in a year, and never had one with the Fly since, excepting in the tail, from looseness of bully; the wool is in appearance in much better condition after being dipped, and those that were dipped in August had not from that time till Ihey were shorn, one single ticit or louse; those that had not been dipped icere full of ticks. Mr Banks and Mr. Leese were present when my Sheep were shorn, and I have heaid (liein speak of the ulilttyof dipping Sheep in this Composition. Mi. B.'s shepherd, who is the entire manager of his flocks, speaks in very terms of it. I cannot possibly see either of the persons for their Signatures to this Idler, but I can testify to Ibdr speaking in the highest lerms. I have no doubt but that others will use it this year, and 1 am certain every one would, if they could but see the difference be- tween those that have been dipped and those that have not. You are quite welcome to make what use of my nallle yon please in this matter, and I can say the same with Mr. Banks. I am, dear sir, yours, respectfully, Mr. Thos.

SiR-When I first tried your "Invaluable Shepp Dipping Cotnposin ttOn," I was laughed at for introducing it into East Kent, although lr many instances, where Sheep had been dressed for the Tick with unothe; preparation, by pretended quacks travelling all over the country, at a reduced price, and which universally failed. I persevered with Jours; had an apparatus made to let out; since which many farmers have had similarolles made, anil the dipping of Sheep has become nearly as general as clipping them. I will undertake to dip a thousand Sheep with your composition without losing one, and destroy all ticks and lice, as well as prevent all attacks of the fly. I will go further I will increase the value of my lambs from two shillings upwards per head. I shall now report to you another tria) :—Last A')gu-.t dipped all my flock; in November 1 bought some Down ewes in Hants and Wilts they were all wintered together these had not been dipped with your Composition, and they were always picking and rubbing themselves; when shorn, those that were dipped were entirely free from tick and lice, whilst the Dowlls were full of both, and 1 t Illuk I sutiered a loss of five shillings per head. My store lambs I dipped previous to my at. tending the late Great Agricultural Meeting al Oxtorit, and since my retmn home I have examined tlieni;—every tick is destroyed, and their skins are perfectly clcan.

< 'LONDON, SEPT. 10. TERMINATION OF THE WAR IN SPAIN. ^ITHE civil war in Spain is at end, as our readers 'J. will be glad to find from the following important despatch published in the Moniteur Parisian of Satur- day night, from the General commanding the 20th Mi- litary Division to the Minfster for Foreign Affairs:- Don Carlos has dismissed the whole of his Court and his M inisters. He has returned to Lecumbery. MM. De la Piscina, Erro, &c., have taken refuge in France. The Navaresse batta- lions commit every species of excess. General Moreno was shot yesterday at Urdax." We expect to learn by the next despatch, that Don Carlos has taken shelter in France. Of all the Carlist Generals, Cabrera only keeps the field, but his recent discomfitures by General O'Donnell prove that he is no longer so formidable as he was twelve months ago. The following telegraphic despatch, published in the Moniteur of Saturday morning, prepared us for the surrender of Don Carlos, seeing that he made no at- tempt to defend Toloso:- Bayonne,Sept. 6. — Maroto has retired to Bilboa. Espartero bas arrived at Toloso. The provincial battalions are dissolved, and the men dismissed to their homes. Those of Castile go to Logrono. Don Carlos was on the 4th at Lanz, protected still by Elio with the Navarrese." Lanz is not distant more than a couple of leagues from the French frontier, and as Don Carlos had not the least confidence in the fidelity of his attendants, it cannot be doubted that he fled there in order to escape safely to France. The Pretender displayed throughout this affair so deplorable a want of moral and phjsical courage as to fill the officers about his person with the greatest contempt for him. General Maroto, before retiring to Bilboa, where he will probably take shelter on board a British ship of war, addressed a proclama- tion to his late companions in arms, in which he savs- "Convinced by experience that Don Carlos could never confer happiness on my country, and united in sentiment with the military chiefs of Biscay (Simon La Torre), Guipuzcoa (Iturriaga), and Castile (Ur- bistondo), and some others, I wished to give the country peace/-that peace so desired by all." Maroto adds, that the resolution to sacrifice him had been taken men are not made of bronze, and they cannot, like chameleons, feed on worms. The country was ex- hausted, and the army was in misery." Maroto ter- minates his proclamation thus:—" Provincials, let the sentiments of peace and union be eternal in our hearts, and let us for ever banish resentment. This advice is given yon by your comrade and general."—This news y 11 has, of course, created a great sensation in Paris. The Carlist organs are in despair. The personal worthlessness and cowardice of Don Carlos have lost him the few chivalrous friends he had in the French capital. It appears from these journals that the French Government is at length really determined on partici- pating in the arrangement of the affairs of Spain. Se- veral French Officers had been ordered to repair to the three principal armies of the Queen in quality of Commissioners. The impression that the war might be deemed at an end was general on the Paris Bourse. — Respecting the affairs of the East, the National, on the authority of a letter from Constantinople of the 23d nit., states that the Quintuple Alliance is at an end, Russia and Prussia having formally refused to act any longer in concert with France, England, and Austria, in the settlement of the Eastern question. The same journal adds that Russia has addressed a remarkable report to the Four Powers, in which she exposes the inutility of a Congress, and refuses to assist at one, unless held at Constantinople. The Commerce states, in addition, that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea has received orders to sail immediately to Constanti- nople. The young Sultan wishes the French and En- glish fleets to winter in the sea of Marmora, but the measure is opposed by old Khosrew Pacha. There is no domestic news of any interest in the French papers The steam ship Liverpool, arrived at Liverpool on Sunday in fourteen days, brings New York papers from the 14th to the 24th ult.; Montreal to the 21st, Quebec to the 19th, and Toronto the 17th. The con- tents of the whole of these journals are not important. The British Commissioners for exploring the Maine boundary are preparing, and almost ready to begin their reconnoissartce; and there is every reason to be- lieve that the difficulty will soon be settled amicably. Another dreadful fire occurred at St. John's, New Brunswick. on the night of the 22d, by which upwards of 100 buildings were destroyed. The loss is estimated at 800,000 dollars. The last great fire, which destroyed 115 houses and stores, occurred two years and seven months ago. The accounts taken out by the Liverpool relative to the harvest in Europe, had caused consider- able purchases of flour for shipment, and about 8000 barrels had changed hands at an advanced price of six dollars. The extreme scarcity of money at New York had, however, materially checked speculation. The recent intelligence from India announces that Candahar, the former capital of Afghanistan, has be- come the head-quarters of the British army of the Indus; and "his Majesty, Shah Shoojah-ool Moolk," j the I5ritish protegS, was crowned there on the 8th of May. The European portion of the army was about to proceed to Ghiznee, and thence to march to Cabool. No further opposition from Dost Mahomed was ex- pected. Thus has the British sovereignty been ex- tended over another fair region of Asia, to the con- fines of Persia and Herat itself may be considered as an outport of our Indian empire. A copy of the Sidney Standard of the 1st of April has come to hand. It contains the gratifying intelli- genco, that the party supposed to have been lost in the lo ng-boat of the barque Dispatch, which, it will he re- membered, was burnt about six hundred miles from Sydney, had reached Howe's Island, after having been eleven days at sea. Here they had remained two days, when they were taken on board the Woodlark whaler, Capt. Grimes, who landed them aT Newcastle, whence they arrived at Sidney on the 30th of March. Their sufferings, from cold and shortness of provisions, are described as being very great. It is quite true, we understand, that Sir George Grey has declined to accept a seat in the Cabinet, conceiving that it is not compatible with the functions of Judge Advocate General. It is also true, as has been an- nounced. that Sir John Newport has resigned the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer, which has been conferred on Lord Monteagle. It is not trile, however, that Mr. R. Gordon has not become Secretary of the Treasury, as the Post announced, for that gentleman has accepted the office and attends daily to the Trea- sury business,- Sun. Her Majesty has been pleased to give the Camoys" Peerage to Mr. Stoner, who was proved to be the re- presentative of the elder coheir. This Peerage has been long in abeyance. There were t\10 other claimants, one of whom was Sir Jacob Astley, Bart. Her Majesty has been pleased to decide the Peerage of "Brave." also a considerable time in abeyance, in favour of Mrs. Otway Cave This most estimable lady is the mother of Mr Robert Otway Cave, M.P. for the county of Tipperary. For the Brave Peerage there were al;1 other claimants. The Right Hon. Poulett Thompson, the Governor of Canada, and Lieut-General Sir Richard Jackson, K.C.B. and suite, commander of the forces in British North America, are hourly expected at Portsmouth, to embark on board the Pique for Quebec. Sir John Colhorne and suite will return to England in the Pique. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Downes Jackson. an officer who was distinguished in the Peninsula, has had lo:ig experience in Staff command, and is of the true Wellington school, is appointed Commander of the Forces in all North America and we can safely declare that the selection is fortunate, for that officer will maintain the credit of the country and the British army. Sir Richard Jackson takes with him as Military Secretary, Lieut.-Col Sir Charles O'Donnell, a high- minded soldier and intelligent man of business. Sir Charles relinquishes the appointment of Brigade Major of the Northern District-a situation which he held under Sir Richard Jackson, and that officer's successor, Major-Gen. Sir Charles Napier. Cant. Brock Taylor and Ensign Warre, 54th, are appointed Aides-de-Camp to Sir R. Jackson.—Naval and Military Gazette. Mr. Wyse, the new Lord of the Treasury, was re- elected for Waterford, on Friday last, without oppo- sition. The electors seemed to vie with each other in expressing their admiration of the virtues, talents, and patriotism of their gifted representative. His expo- sition of the general policy of the Government, was given in such a lucid and statesmanlike manner, as to bring down the universal plaudits of the Court. The Carlisle loi of Saturday says we have just heard that the Borough Magistrates have issued a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Taylor, on a charge of sedition, founded on the speech which he delivered in the Carlisle theatre, on last Saturday week. On Saturday afternoon the Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company gave an elegant dinner, in the Tun- nel, to the persons employed in that undertaking, to ce- celebrate their having reached low-water mark. Mr. Hawe:" M.P., was in the chair, and 280 persons sat down to table. On a raised platform, about ;,00 visi- ters-tbe majority of whom were ladies-werp pro- vided with places, to view the gratifying scene. The late Sir R. Grierson, Bart., who died on the 15th ult., at the age of 106 yenrs, succeeded to the title of and estate* of his late father. Sir Gilbert, upwards of seventy-three years ago. Previous to his father's death Sir Robert was in the army, and was the officer I commanding the salute fired at Gibralter upon the birth I of George lV. Before his father's death he retired upon half-pay, which he continued to receive regularly for seventy-six years, we may safely assert an unpre- cedented term of years. This venerable man never had an y one day's illness during his truly patriarchial life, and died without any bodily suffering. — Dumfries Herald. By October, 1841, there will be eighteen large an.1 splendid steam-ships running across the Atlantic Ocean. Not one will he smaller than the Liverpool, and more than half of them will be larger than the Great Western. The Gil Blas, supposed to have been swamped by collision with the Royal Adelaide steamer off Dover (see p. 4), has been picked up b> pilots, and carried into Ostend, where her cargo is discharging. The ter- ror of the Captain and crew got the better of their judgment when they abandaned her, the only material damage sustained being the loss of the mainmast; and there being no one on board when met with, she is considered a waif on the seas." Nothing is said of the black boy on board. RAILWAY THROUGH CORNWALL.—Sir Hussey Vivian has written a letter to the landed proprietors, merchants, &c., of Cornwall, strongly urging them to set about con- structing a railroad through their county in self defence, as the only means by which Falmouth can be continued a packet station. The Right Hon. Baronet says:—" Of the great benefits derived to a country from the establishment of a railroad, I have lately had an opportunity of witnessing an instance in Belgium, where a case presents iise'if more analogous t" that of the people of Cornwall than is afforded by comparison, with any of our own railroads. In Belgium, as with us, Uie rate of travelling was very slow, the means of communication by no means good, and the persons tra- veiling were but few. Since railroads have been constructed, the number of travellers has increased in a degree infinitely beyond the utmost calculation, and much exceeding the proportion even on our railroads; and the commerce of the country, and the inhabitants, have been benefited accordingly. Loss OF THE WILLIAM SCHOONER OF OSTEND.— This vessel cleared out of the London Docks on Monday at high water, bound for Ostend, and was considered overladen to a dangerous degree, having, besides being laden below, in the hold and both cabins, upwards of 20 tons of sugar on her decks. On arriving about mid-channel in Erith Reach, the wind, which had been blowing stiff from S.W., increased fearfully, and the vessel heeled over in an alarming manner. The crew instantly sprung into a skiff towing astern, leav- ing in their alarm the Custom House Officer who was on boiti d. They had scarcely got into the boat when a sudden squall caught the schooner; she heaved heavily, and turned right over, goiag to the bottom immediately. The boat astern was being dragged under, when the waterman cut the headfast, and they were saved. The officer had risen to the surface, clinging to an oar. The Captain of the Pearl steamer, which left Gravesend at three o'clock, and was passing at this moment, ordered his vessel to be stopped, but, before this could be done, two of the crew, named Cox and Browne, had jumped into the Pearl's boat, which on her fastenings being let go, immediately plunged headlong into the river, and was swamped, the men in her being precipi- tated under the water. The Pearl having been stopped, the exertions of the Captain were directly shewn in endea- vouring to rescue the men, who were struggling in the water, and, after much danger and labonr, he fortunately succeeded in rescuing the whole of them-the Custom-house officer having clung the whole of the time to the oar that had originally held him up. The accident was solely owing to the violence and suddenness of the squall, and the top- heavy lading on deck. The vessel lies in about seven fathoms of water. Per crew were brought to London in the Pearl, and landed at the Custom-house Quay. The whole of the cargo is of course lost. DREADFUL C HASTROPH E.-On Saturday evening about six o'clock, the inhabitants of the Edgeware-road were thrown into a state of great alarm, occasioned by the fall of a house, No. 89, on the eastern side of the Edgeware- road, a few doors from the New-road, St. Marylebme belonging to Mr. Blake, hosier, who also occupies the two adjoining houses. From information obtained on the spot, it appears that a few weeks since the adjoining house being old and untenable, was pulled down for the purpose of being rebuilt. On Saturday last some workmen were employed in digging a new foundation, in doing which they were com- pelled to undermine some portion of the foundation of Mr. Blake's house, but which they had neglected to shore up. A few minutes before six o'clock on the above evening, the workmen were preparing to leave off work, when they heard a loud noise, and before some of them could make their escape the premises of Mr. Blake came down with an awful crash, which sounded like a distant peal of artillery, burying its inmates in the ruins. As soon as the dust occa- sioned by the catastrophe had in some degree cleared off, the neighbours and others brought to the spot set about clearing away the rubbish to get at the unfortunate sufferers, and in a short time they succeeded in extricating the body of a young woman about eighteen years of age, which proved to be Mary Lansbury the servan'-maid, who, at the moment of the catastrophe was in an upper room, used as a kitchen, washing up the tea-things. She was found between two rafters, and presented a most shocking spectacle. Her head was smashed to atoms, and the upper part of her body otherwise shockingly mutilated. She was immediately con- veyed on a shutter to the Western General Dispensary in the New-road, where she was seen by Mr. Lomax, tho sur- geon, who pronounced life quite extinct. Shortly after- wards the assistant of Mr. Blake and a workman were got out, but we are very happy in being able to state that they were more frightened,than hurt. The assistant, at the time of the catastrophe, was returning along the shop from serving two customers who had only departed a few moments, and crept beneath the counter where he was found, and which had sustained the whole weight of the premises. Mr. Blake and his family were at the time of the catastrophe in the adjoining house. STEAM ApPLIED TO SAILING VESSELS -On Saturday the Vernon left Blackball to begin her voyage to India. The vessel is built upon an entire new construction, totally differ- ent from any other merchantman. This was requisite to the successful application of a small steam power to so large a ship for so long a voyage, as the space required to he allotted to the machinery and tonnage of coals had hitherto been con- sidered an insurmountable drawback. One hundred and fifty tons now provide for the whole. The Vernon is 170 feet long, 36 feet beam, and but 22 feet deep, drawing but 15 feet six inches of water; of 1,000 tons measurement, and has on board a cargo of 1,000 tons. She is fitted with a steam engine of thirty horse power. The engine is upon the low pressure principle, and calculated to make in calm weather thirty re- volutions in a minute, the boilers then con-turning; two hundred and a half weight of coals per hour. The paddles are small, and occupy a width of only four feet outside the ship, fixed upon a shaft projecting about two feet six inches through and so supported as to require neither paddle-beams, spring- beams, nor paddle-boxes; and they can be shipped and 1111- shipped in an hour by the yard-tackles of the ship. The engine is so simple in its construction that it requires but one engineer and one stoker. Besides these great and valuable improvements in large ships, the propelling apparatus, when at work, produces thirty gallons of good fresh water a day, and which quantity may, by an augmentation in the expendi- ture of three bushels of coal in about twenty-four hours, be increased to 100 gallons a day. The water is sufficiently good for the stock, as also for all culinary purposes; one of the most important and valuable considerations in long voy- ages. The day was most fortunate for the putting to the test the importance or valour of the small steam power with which the Vernon was supplied. She left Blackwall at half- past twelve, an hour and a half before high water, against a strong flood tide, with jib and driver set in the wind's eye, blowing very hard from the south south-west, the engines pro- pelling her at the rate of three knots and a half the hour, the engines performing eighteen revolutions a minute Upon turning the point entering Woolwich Reach she went five and a half knots an hour, the wind blowing very fresh on her beam, the engines performing twenty-five revolutions. She gradually increased her speed up to seven knots, the engines making twenty-eighl revolutions, which was her greatest speed. Upon turning into two or three reaches where she brought the wind right a.head, the power of the engine alone propelled her at the rate of four knots through the water, notwithstandiug the immense power which the wind bad upon the masts and yards of the ship to impede its progress. The great trial or strength of the engines took place at North Fleet Hope, when it blew so hard that it was feared the anchor must be let go. However, she cleared it in beautiful and gallant style. During the trip it was very remarkable that when the canvass was set close haultd, the power the lee-wheel had in bringing the ship up to windward was so great that she stood four points to the wind's eye, so that she made a board down three different reaches, when all others were obliged to tack. At twenty minutes past three she passed the church at Graves- end, thus accomplishing the distance in ten minutes less than three hours, leaving the Thomas Grenville, which left Black- wall at the same time, towed by a steam tug, nearly out of sight, and which took anchorage off Gravesend about twenty minutes afterwards. This successful experimental ship is likely to lead to the most important results. The voyages to and from India, which are so tediously long, are rendered so from calms, currents, and adverse winds, in one latitude whereas, if the vessel was provided with the means of propelling herself, even at ever so slow a rate, sometimes for only a mile or two, she might avoid a current or a calm, and when she lost one trade wind, make her way into another. This great de- sideratum in navigation has at length been most successfully accomplished by the builders of the Vernon. In reducing a voyage at least twenty-five days, the saving to the owners inust be great, and to the passengers and merchants incalculable.
