GLIAIIIGO F30! LATE PAPERS.

PREPARATIONS I-‘OB. WAR. run size no rowan. or -rm: rt.srr.'r.

Tho fleet that sailed from Spithoad on Saturday last, comprises, as will be seen froth the above-given list, ei ht screw line of battle ships, four screw on three paddle- wheel ships ofinlerinr rank, making a total of fifteen war steamers, of which two—the Duke of Wellington and the Royal George —are three-deckers.

There is thus not a single ship in the division dependent upon sails alone for pro- pulsion, while there are twelve, including all the liners and the fottr largest frigates, which, being sci-ews, are equally available as steamers or sailing vessels, or as both combined.

Ofthe naval force, which for the last few weeks has been mustcring at Spithcad, only three vessels rctnained. 'I‘lie.Neptuno, the Prince Regent, and the Boscnwen stay behind to forth the nucleus of the second division, which is itnrncdiutcly to assemble there, and, under the ting of Admiral Corry, to follow Sir Charles Napier to the nlttc. We shall then have equipped and dcspntch- ed frotn our shores an nrmament such as the world‘ has never seen equalled, and not unworthy ofthtit supremacy which we claim to hold upon tho ocean. Sir Charles Napier will have under his command it fleet of fort -four ships, manned by upwards of Q2, 00 men, mounting about 2201) guns, and propelled by a steam power of more than |6,0l)0 horses. Of the ships, only six will be unaided by that new force which is manifestly destined to effect the same revo- lution in warlike operations as it has already accomplished in those of peace. These are the Neptune, I20; the St. George, l‘.’0; the Prince Regent, 90; the Boscawen, 70; the Monarch, 84; and the Cumberland, 70; noble vessels of the old school, though modern invention teaches us to rely less upon them than we used to do.

The division which put to sea on Sutur- day was manned by 8320 men collected without any recouse to the pressgaug, at a moment when the immense demands of the mercantile marine have almost denuded our ports of sailors. With reference to the steam-power ofthe fleet, we have as yet no data for showing how the enormous aggre-

gate of 16,000 horses is to be made up, but,

as Sir Charles Napier took out on Saturday a propelling power of 5350 horses by screw, and ol"£090 by paddle, or a total of 7370 horses, it follows that,‘ enormous as the force thus despatched is, it, in fact, forms the weaker halfofwhat his command in the Baltic will ultimately include. As to the guns, also, e. similar remark may be made; for while the fleet, when fully constituted, will be able to declare the will of England to the Czar through 2200 orthole.-, and by cannon to which those of he last war were more toys, this first division carried out on armament of not rnoro than 837 guns. This, however, will be augmented to l0l9 guns in the Downs, where the Cressy, of 80, and the Eurynlus of50, wcretojoin the rest ofthe expedition—thns increasing the number of men actually despatched to the north to l0,lfi0, and the horse power to 8l70. It must not be supposed that the fleet which we are thus sending from our shores exhausts all our naval strength, for the reserve ships have not been touched, thirty additional first-class men-of wurcould almost at once he put into commission, and our dockyarde and private estnblishtncnls could enable us to show to the world results at least twice as great as those which the last few months have yielded.

Arts ‘run CALll‘0It.\'lA Mtssa FALLING On?—Some discussion has lately arisen in regard to the probable depletion ofthe gold mines of California. The shipments for the last three or four months have shown n decided falling oil‘, which carries with it it certain weight ofrcasoning that there is a diminished production; while on the other hand it is contended that the season has been very unfavourable to the miners, and to this fact is attributable the seeming fal- ling iii? in the amount of old. Six million three hundred and thirty-t resthouarintl dol- lnrs lell San Frnnciacofor thethe Atlantic in the month of Feb. I853, atid in the month of February I854, $'I,99~l,438 left Sim Francisco. In January lsi5::, the ship- ments from San Francisco amounted to $l,0l4,'ll‘t, and during the same month in the present year they were $9,3S;2,'279, showing a falling all’ of 633,438. This, added to the decrease in ‘elirunry, makes the total falling ofl' this year, as compared Alter this comparisonvery little consideration is re uired to satisfy any one that the mines of California are not as productive as they have been in previous years; rind it imme- diately becomes manifestthst they are, toe cdrtein eatent. giving out, at least so far as lndlvidul labour is concerned.

A CA‘l‘llEDl\AL.—Tl'Ie Antwerp cathedral is one of the largest nnd'mn¢t splendid churches in Northern F.tirr~pe. Its steeple, nmon the loftiest in the world, is of such bettiittful and delicate wot-ktnnuship, that the Emperor Charles V. said it ought to be kept in a case, while from the tninuteness of the curved work Napoleon compared it to Meclilin lace. In the tower is a set of chimes, composed oftiincty-nine bells, and one very large bell which requires sixteen men to ring it. These chimes discourse the swct-test music, day and night.

AN Onzt)tr.tv'r SOLDIER.-On, Saturday last, a soldier connected with the Charles- town navy-yard, entered a shop where liquor was vended in thttt city, and walking up to the bar, began to fumble for a four- pence while waiting for the bartender, who was busy in another part of the store. He had inst secured his money when n woman entered the door, and walking up behind him, slapped him on the shoulder, and shouted, “Marcia.” The soldier turn- ed to see who gave this order, and recogni- zing his wife as the giver of the command, without speaking a single word, turned on his heel and marched out of the door as straight as though under martial command. — oalori Ti-ave ler.

Muse or Escars FROM Fins.-—Means of escape from houses on fire have recently been adopted by the police of London. They have stout canvass sheets prepared, which are streched beneath the house on tire, and into which the persons in the build- ing throw themselves, and are caught. Tlio canvass escape has been tried, and has given the greatest satisfaction as to its utility and safety. Persons who could not be persuaded to descend a fire ladder, have leaped into the canvass without liesitation.

The Perlhsliire .fldverIi'ssr reports a re- cently discovcred mode of conversing with those afflicted with partial (lt‘.'llllt‘S°, viz: by taking the individual by the. hand, at tho satne time placing the two thumbs toge- ther. By this simple process, the sound is conveyed in n nitirc direct manner to tho enr, and th person spoken to will hear distinctly in a tone of voice several notes lower. It is also important to add, that a chain could be formed upon the same princi- ple, liy a number joinin hands in the manner alluded to, when the individual nflhcted will hear in a moderate key at either end of the chain.

Size or Losoo.v.—-London extends over an area of 78,039 acres or l°2'.'. square miles, and the number of its inhabitants, rapidly increasing, was two millions three hundred and sixy-two thtiusnods, two hund- rod and thirty-aix (2,3b"2,‘236\ on the day of the last census. A conception of this vast mass ofpeoplo may be formed by the fact that, lfthe metrt-poli-.i was surroundcrl by it wall, having a north gate, tt south gate, an east grtte, and a west gate, and each ofthe four gates was ofsuflicient width to allow a column of persons to pass out freely four abreast, and n peremptory necessity requir- ed the immediate evacuation llfolllfl city, it could not be accomplished under four-and- twenty hours, by the expiration of which time the head of each ol' the four columns would have advanced a no less distance than seventy-live miles from their respective gates, all the people being in close tile, four deep.-CheaIts'r¢'a Rsatills qftlis Census.

Ills lordship, in alluding to the state of the calendar, containing a listof upwards of 100 prisoners, many of them charg- e with the most atrocious oflimces short of murder, called the attention ofthe grand jury to tho that that there were no fewer than seven- teen cuties of manslaughter, and thirty cases where persons were charged with the crituc of highway robliory. These crimes, his lordship ohscrvecl, mi lit be traced in a vast number of cziscs to the vice of intempernnce, which was so prevalent in the mining districts: and, while cotnmenliu upon this state of things, his lord- ship feeling, y deplored the want of tt_vru -atliy winch existed between the higher and lower classes, and urged the duty of the superior ranks of society to take it more lively interest in the welfare of those who am bcncutli them.

TELEGRAPH FROM NE\Vl'OUNDLAND TO IRELAND.

The Washington papers contain an titlicial rlocumerit addressed to the Secretary of the Navy by Lieutenant Maury. uiviiin the results of litr- tle-rp sen soumlings efl'e-.-ted by Lieutenant Barry- mziti. lrtun the shores of Neivloutidlnnd to those ntlrelund. These seem tti be decisive of the qur-stioii as to the practicability of a sob-marine telegraph across the Atlantic ocean. in that region, the distance between the nearest ptiints of the two r-miiitrit-s bring one thousand six hundred miles, auiltlia bottoin oi’ the sea being a plateau the \\ hole distance. singularly Itltspltd tti the purposi- til‘ lioltlirig a line of magnetic telegraph wire. The depth of the plateau is quite regular, gra- tliitilly increasing from the shores of New found- land. where it is fifteen hundred fathoms. tniul it reaches to-o tliouaaritl fatboms when approaching the other side. This is just suited to the purpose, the depth being such as to secure the wires against all the perils of icebergs, anclinra, &c., and res not too deep to be useful. More remark- able than this is the fact, that upon this atlmir..ble plmti-nu, " the writers of the sea appear as quiet and III completely at rest as they are at the bot- turn or‘ a mill ind ;" that " there are on per- ceptible currents and ehradirig agents at work at the bottom of the sea upon this telegraphic plllczu ;” " consequently a telegraphic wire once

I-dserl there, there it would rsniiiio, as completely hsytintl the reach of the eoeiderita of drill, as it would if buried in air-tlllil cIue."- Lieutenant Maury sunsets Ihata national prise be ofllrred to the is rapliio company through whose telegraphic wire the flrst telegraphic message shall be passed across the Atlantis.
