It is one of those henomena wi! before they come out are pronounced ppossible, and which as soon as they do come out are nmeaiately commonplace. The gross follies of animal petism would have appeared incredible twenty year 0, but ag soon ag they a ed nobody was surprised them. The most astounding reports of persons 1 hrough brick walls, seeing with the backs of their heads, jeading with the pits of their stomachs and smelling with ine ends of their fingers were received with phlegmatic oiness and the simple interrogation ‘An; more?” hereas it would have been thought bef. and that cer- nly there was something surprising here, either Ine phenomena themselves or the folly which . Im point of fact, however, the became perfectly commonplace in few weeks. Table a spirit repping were in- ible one day, and trite next. Wedo not mean to these comparatively harmless Jevities with Mor- 0 , but only to use them as proofs what poor judges e are of what turns human thought may take, and what mental phenomenon may start up next. All sensible nd sagacious men have ago given up the idea of niting human audacity and human imbecility—the ex- it to which men will ¢ rate evidence and will anni- evidence, will be led without proof and will leaist the most palpable proof. Ali this department of aman nature is unfathomable, and therefore the issues nd fruits of it are wholly incalculable. Up from these k abysses stream these lurid vapors and overshadow bright earth. Nobody could predict twenty years o the new opinions of the last twenty years, Ind pobody can predict now the new opinions of the ext twenty years. All this has been said fifty , been said without refutation, and ven without denial. Some men of remarkable sagacity jave indeed devoted their whole philosophical lives to ne illustration of this truth. Solomon was one of these hers, Montaigne was another. The moral from loth their books is that human nature is a most profound nd inexplicable medley; that nobody can Lipase & tell hat nee me, under soe [Segoe ergy ‘ink, ©, say, feel, believe, expect, bope, fear, regret, or boast £” All’the individual elements of Mormonism ‘are very dd and familiar ones. Sensuality is a very old phenome- on; sensuality in eonnection with religion, or the pro- sasion of religion, is also an old phenomenon. We have ; wm the Bacchanalian mysteries, inthe Assyrian myete- ies, in the mysteries of Brahminism, and in other mys- ries which “veiled prophets” aud similar impostors ounded for their own private benefit—men who felt a ertain class of religious sevsations and emotions which ney contrived to combine with sensuality, and thought ne mixture not only exactly suited to their own constitu. on, buta very commendable, genial and harmonious ne in itself, aud capable of the best moral, religious and hilosophical defence. “But only think,” a person will say, “of the presump- jon of the Mormonites, setting themselves up above the hole Christian world and defying its moral standard and iw!” But presumption is only a very oid phenomenon od avery familiar one. Many people much better than tormonites, many very good and religious peop'e, ex- abit this feature ost to the extent of insanity. There : hardly a limit to the defiance which one man indivi- ually, standing on his own two legs and without any cher support, will hurl at the unanimous conclusions of ine whole human race, from Adam down to the present our; and if half a dozen people in a room find them. elves agreeing in such an Opposition, they irmmediately ote themselves the whole world and go settle the uestion. Then the prophetic element in Mormon- m is one with which we are very familar in ye Puritan school, and we are also familiar with Vid Tes ament predictions in the eame school. Then the enor- sous credulity of the Mormonites in thetr capacity of fol ywere is allatrait of human nature as old as we hills, llere is a succession of elements and ingredieats, then, wag we in combination (he phenomenon of Mormonisin, ach of which is individually quite old and familiar, It is laly their mode of combination whick is new.

The human mind on ite bad side exhibits variety of morbid impulses and motives, a mass of specu- stions, dreams, visions, fancies, a great deal of sensuality, ome brutality ; it is impossible W say how these elemenws ll combine in the pext eccentric phenomenon that comes efore us, but we know that there they are, and that the ovelty lie in the combination rather than in the ma- ial.” Such phenomena generally assume their peculiar om from sowe cowinant impuise of the day, as, in the resent instance, [row emigratwa. it is wonderful at first ght, ibe shi‘ting pomad temper of & prosperous commu. ity, as the Mormonites are—ite readiness to change its uarters ataday’s notice, and seek anew home in the orld.

Bie dogs and assysance of uniting the Southern and de- mocratic parties for their mutual advantage. With this view he brought in Mr. Buchanan, casting off the Pierce party for the purpse, and it poning his own elevation in order the more certainly to lefeat the republican Petz and exclude their candidate. Tt was he who prepared what is called the Cincinnati plat- form, to which Mr. ple himself; and when he who pregoned and he who accepted that declaration of policy found themselves victorious at Washington, with the South loud in applause and the North doing nothing, though saying mush, and the Supreme Court so subser- vient as virtually to extend the conditions of slavery over the whole country, thereby breaking up infact the free soil party, it seemed indeed that their success was as complete as gould well be. They assumed that it was; though we have had more than one occasion to point out that their assumptions of victory and peace were hollow. The event has proved this, beyond all gpssibility of de- nial. To make all sure in |, they sent as governor a man of Southern views, feelings and habits of life— never doubting that he would see to the implanting of slavery, a8 a patural and necessary consequence of Doug- Ins? legisiation. The only element they left out of their calculations was the force of republican principle m repub- licans who are not slaveholders. This force, residing in the free State men of Kansas, and the ferocious tyrappy wi and audacious fraud of the few pro-slavery men in Kansas, were too much for the term! of even a Douglas and a Walker. w tar they ht have let the matter go if Missouri had re \- ed quiet, or active on the prosiavery side only, there is no saying; but the discountenance of the border ruffians by the Missourians generally, 4 their boy pod creyrali yy voir ‘pains 10 ear, have le the ug Lins yy un. tenable, fa bis opinion, and in that of Governor Walker Our readers are aware of the form in which the contro- versy between them and their former comrades was to be to the world, viz.: in the proffer of a constitution for Kansas to Congress for admission or rejection. As the opening of the session drew near all eyes were ou the watch; and it was peeniy known that the President meant to stand by yugias” erigina) policy, in spite of ell the evidence that Governor Walker could luce of its impracticabili- ty. In despair Governor Walker left Washington, and soon repaired witb all speed to Kansas, where he found his secretary and friend recalled, and knew that this was a clear warning of his own di mn. All this time the President either conceived no doubt of his War- wick—bis setter up, and possible poles, down—or con- cealed such doubts very successfully; for the prevalent notion now is that the k of the event was as sudden as it was irreparable. Some others had misgivings; for Mr. Douglas’ Southern friends beset him with arguments and flatteries, before he committed himself, showing him What a grand hing it would be «10 take tho adminstra- tion en his shoulders, and carry it triumphantly through.” ‘The event roves ines these blandishments did not euc- ceed; and Mr. Douglas bas actually cast the South over- board with the dent, the mill race together, and sent them down Our readers have seen for themselves what the President thought proper to say us the affair in his meseage, and that Mr. Douglas at once intimated that he had a protest to make against that part of the address. There was suspicion enough abroad in Washington to bring a crowd of hearers to the Capitol, and they wit- nessed there a scene which will never be forgotten. We are told that the Senator’s speech was unanswerable; and we can easily believe it, and ascribe the credit of that to the free State people of Kansas. As one evidence after another came out of the absurdity and wickedness of attempting to impose on a republican State, by force or fraud, @ constitution which the bulk of the citizens repudiate, the excitement among tho hearers became very marked. Some parte of the speech were listened to in the deepest silence. At other times a ministerial democrat forced his way out, umable to endure more. Others remained wo discuse the aspect of affairs when they should have heard ai}. The comments were much what might be . The President and his boldest friends affect to think Mr. Douglas of no consequonce, while more timid followers nervously count, from day to day, the men of mark who secede with “the traitor.’ Now five, now fifteen, now thirty Southern members affectedly congratulate the leaders of the republican party on the accession of Mr. Douglas, ove having used such language as this:—“You baye got a new leader, who will lead you to the devil, ae be as led ns.’ With ali that and with Mr. Douglas’ we no concern. To us it is clear was in earnest before, he was ignorant and weak to a degree which disquatities him for states- mansbip in the crisis of the republic; and if he was not in earnest, the case is woree. The chief political interest to us is in seeing Mr. Buchanan stranded either way—left high and dry, with anly the Southern party (belplees RA itself) by his'side, if he makes good the pledges of meseage; and, if he yields to the force of events, not only dragged behind the chariot of his late ally, but compelled to retract his re eT and pledges and ecies. ‘With this is implic the political ‘erest watching what the North will do; whether a Northern democratic party 4g formed, with Douglas as its candidate, to defy the South; or whether Mr. Pierce and bis party, irreparably offenced by the President, will be taken up again, as a Jooge element which may as well be appropriated, anda convenient warming pan to be used in Mr. Dougias’ service till be is ready for his accession to power; or whether something wholly unforeseen follows such @ split az this. This is the mere political interest of the case to distant observers; and the interest is not strong, nor can be till American statesmen arise who can win interest by their personal qualities, instead of being the A. B C. of the diagrams which represent the problems of the time. ‘The genuine interest of the case, the moral interest, re- sides'in the evid ee that the true republican principle is yet active, and that the beet laid schemes, the most care- ful combuations, the most astute forecaste, the most im. posing useurance, all give way before the moral forcos, which can pever be practically defied with tmpunity. Vrom faith in those forces, we have steadily be Meved and declared that the United States had en- tered upon @ revolutionary period, rh every politician and almost every citi in the republic—and Mr. Bu- chanan above all—insisted that al) was safe, all was calm. Now, they find themselves suddenly on the verge of fare, ‘compelled to make a decision for or against slavery as a federal institution, By no arts can they postpone the de- cision for any time which will be of any account in his- tory and whether A, 8. and {© make or unmake parties, and uphotd or desert thts or that President, portority is little Hkely tocare. One hing. which will be noted by future generations is the great Balaam epeech in Congress which confounded the heathen host, and which (while jn- aspiring no particular reapect for Balaam) gave new life to 6 invaders of ite oppression. All that we have todo ‘with Mr. Dougias is that we now have his own assurance that bis old policy has no chance. Interesting from Turkey. THE RPFRCT OF THE DEATH OF KROSCHID PASH A. (From the London Times, Jan. 9.) In the death of Redschht Pasha the Ottoman empire has met with a great misfortune. It ts tre yy distinction of free and settled States that they are nearly inde nt of individual influence. They are not ex te the chances of life and death, their fate does not hang on tho turn of an illness or the successful result of a surgical operation. They houor and grieve tor an able citizen, but they have confidence that the land which bore him will prodace others, and that the machine of the State will act reguiarly, even though another pre-eminent enius does not immediately . Bata country like key can tll afford to lose ita ablest man. The Ottoman empire has just passed thro out victorious, but still aod exhansted. Several years must elapse before it is able to combine evergy and tranquillity, co as to take its place amoug the thriving communitios of Far In this state of transition we bad hoy that Pasha would © lived to guide ite counsels and administer its govern: bt. but Providence has decreed otherwise, and our uope must How be that among those who have acted with him some one may bave acquired enough of hi: character and policy to manage the helm of the State with equal skill. Redeebit Parba was not an old man, yet he had for many yenre filigd the highest functions at the Porte. He ‘wae one of the first of those Tarks who in the timo of the late Suita Mabmoud was influenced by Puropean habits ‘and education, and he early took # part in the reforms Which that strong minced monarch introduced. From the beginning of bis reign the present Sultan seems to have feit the highest reepect and affection for Redschit, who bore 4 chef part in the promulgation of the Hatt Scheriif of Gulbané, an edict of toleration and re. hich, though its ovisions: ~ not have ly executed, has yet been followed by no mean and ettil remaing aa a standard of political princi which there must yeariy be a greater tendency rm. Into the various vicissitudes of Redschid's po- | Jitieal life it is weedinss to enter. The Porte has for ages been accustomed to change its ministers suddeoly and in- | comprebeneibiy, the only difference between these days | and the past beipg that now their lives and property are eafe even though they may have incurred the displeasure of the Sultan, of & powerfal ambaseador or some intriguer of the palace. Redachid, who ha filled the office of am- baseador both in Paris and London, haa, we believe, been Grand Vizier po less than six times, and he has died at his post. No man bas served the Porte so long and so oten, and none has known #0 well how to be powerful even ee appearing to aoquiesce in ease and unity, While we reoognige the good qualities and the great ser vioor of the departed statesman, we have no inteution of uttering an vyqualified panegy ric. Redschid Pasha was a faitafut advtbisteator, because be was an able man, his bonesty may have been possibly & prinerple and not a licy: but it icertain that his devotion to the Sultan rought kim wealth, power, and an imperial alliance. For yours he exercised over the mind of Abdul Medjid an in juence which no rival could equal, and he nsed it to com- bat every power, both foreign and domestic, which might interfere with the Sultan's authority and bis own, The centralization which has increased the power of Constan tinople at the expense of viceroys ant governors hes heen to a great exteot the work of Redseh'd Pasha; in toe opposition to the claims of Rossia, in the restrant of the turbulem provinces, and in the assertion of the Forte's independence against forcien diplomacy, he has borne the principal part. In the meantime he did not lose eight of his own interests He waa tot & mercenary man, for he apeat freely, and even with prodigatity; bat he received duriog hia career very Iarge sums of money from the Sultan His debia, we bolieve, were paid once or twice, and a palace commence by him on the Bosphorus was taken And finished by the Snltan, and then presented t Rot schid's son, who bad just eapoured the Saltan's daaghter, Redechid aleo became possessed of property ia Thessaly and in other parte of the gmpire. But he has oever been accused by well informed persons of suc) gross Corra » tion as Was practiced by some of his cotemporaries. More than once the Tatks have cried out against him, bat their denupeiauions were probadly caused more by his re fortning predilections and Wie envy of rivals at Ris sno cees than by aoy just suspicion of mAlpractives. In f 8 politicin who had so firma friend in the Saltaa might Ht abstain from increasing hie gains by |lecitmate means, He has aadoubtediy been during th the present reign the most trust as he was the most able statesman in the Turek capa Of late years, and since his alliance with the S \iton, Redachid Pasha held decidedly the first place in the ('u'k- igh Stato. Whether he wore ia or out of office, he was equally firet in the counsels of the Sultan, This emiaence seems to have been not undeserved, Redschid knew Europe well, and his own country w He perfectly un- derstood the views and desires of England and France, of Ruseia and of the German Powers. At the same time, he thoronphiy appreciated the relative power and import- ance of the various races and provinces of which the em- ire is composed. Whether the question was an Anglo- ench alliance, or an. Austrian occupation, or a Russian interference in Moldo. ‘Wallachia, or the intrigues of a ser- vian Pretender, Redschid Pasha, in power or out of power, was the ablest man wo advise the Porte, and in one way or another he generally contrived to make his voice beard. In foreign society we hear of no- thing but Redschid Pasha’s subserviency to the British Ambassador, In a day or two we shal! bave speculations in every journal of France and Germany as to what will be the result to English in- fluence of the Grand Vizier’s death. People have talked as if Redschid were the mere creature of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, placed in office by the Ambassador to do his bidding. Nothing can be further from the truth. Red- schid Pasha, a man distinguished by acuteness and tenacity of Sorpees, wee ne likely to be the mere creature of any one. His abilities and his power with the Sultan made his assistance as useful as hig enmity would have been formidable. The British Ambassador and he were usually in alliance simply because they had common views 0° policy. Lord Strattord supported Redschid because Red- schid acted steadily on principles which this country has for many years past upheld, and Redschid consulted the Ambassador because he knew the Ambassa tor would give him more disinterested advice than ance diplo- matist. Indeed, the continental politicians have been too much given to Mdividualize in thia matter, The British Ambaseador and Racca Pasha were merely the repre- sentatives of the nationaf policy of their two countries. English influence prevails at (he Porte just in as able and patriotic stateemen are in power. ‘Turks are sensible enough to see that English interests coincide with the stability of their empire, and they consequently put faith in our professions and adopt our advice. On the other hand they have learnt curing the present century to suspect the designs of more than one other Power ou their outlying provinces, and they consequently have become less disposed to confidence. ‘To this it may be added that the English have aiways shown due respect to their feel- ings, both national and religious, even when our armies were encamped on ‘the us 20,000 Turks were actually under the command of British officers. ot er influence, then, as long as it is deco- rously exer , is something peraaes ant, and arises from the very nature of things. chid Pasha was onl} the type of the new generation of Turkish peliticians; bi colleagues have come tw share his opinions on most im- tant subjects, and his death will assuredly make no (itference in the policy of the Porte. But Turkey has lost an able administrator—one who was capable of retrievin; her finances and extending her commerce, and whose hig! position made it easy for the Cabinet to deal with the rival pretensions of European Powers. Though Gare are many Men not unworthy to fill his place, wi that for a time bad eee’s councils will sadly miss their weightiest mind. News from China, aga arg age bitin bad been received in Londen, but the dates were not given, and very little news was sent. ‘The steamer Adelaide. with the last detachment of 500 marines on board, passed on from Singapore on the 2d of December, and an attack on Canton was expected to take place on her arrival. The Paris correspondent of the London Times is posi- tively informed that the French ambassador to the court of Pekin had arranged that after the squadrons shall have taken up a position before Canton a final summons shall be addressed to the Chinese government, The accom- plishment of this formality was to commence on the 16th of November. A despatch from Paris, in the Ind Belge, asserts that instructions have been sent to the French Admiral to prevent the French troops in China from acting in concert with the English, and that the 500 men recently sent out are in reality intended for a demonstration against Cochin China, It is also said that Spain will certainly take part in this expediiion.

In a &w days we may reasonably expect to have 700 gune and 7,000 men in these waters. Of the Ritter wo shall probably be able to land 4,000; but, alas, the great Dulk of them will be biue jackete—eayttal fellows ailoat, but terrfole straygiers ashore.

It is clear, however, that it cannot be stronger than dure. The action of the French, therefore, will justify in the eyes of Europe the course which we are now taking, and, as the two squadrone will doubtless act cordially together, this will be another public proof of the friendship and com mon policy of the two nations. It \# equally well understood that the Amoricans are to retain their position of lookerson.

He called upon Baron Gros at the French an- chorage at Castle Peak Bay, and beld long converse. The Chinese, who profess to be quite convinced that all this “pobbery,’’ to use their word, is only to frighten them, ‘and who etill repeat ‘ Englisiman no can take Canton,’ are quite certain that “Nurber one Mandarin” only went up to try and open negotietione with Yeh. My letters from the north tell me timt the Chinese have just ineved an impertinent proclamation, waraing the bar bariaus not to venture into the interior, and d-elaring that even if they should not create disturbances there punishment will await them. Tt is just as well that made my survey of Hangebau before this proclamation fared, for uevwedy doubte the power of the mandarias tw incite the population to force on “a disturbance” with the moet peaceal le Eurepea Couut Putiatin is back in Spanghae.

He had just resolved to return home I was his guest for some time at Shanghai, and was jodebted to bim for much information.

Some of the continental journals have made statements indicating a difference of policy, or rather a want of co- operation, between the French and Euglish governments as regards affairs in China, We have every reason for believing that the report is the result of a misconception. ‘The moat cordial understanding prevails betweea Barou Gros and Lord Kigin, as well as between the two govern- ments, and the ouly 4 that can have given currency to the statement is the fact of the French having sent a ferce to seck satisfaction for crueities inflicted ou their miasionaries and insults offered to their flag in Cochin News from Australia, MELBOURNE TRADE DULL—FALL IN FLOUR—RAIL- ROAD PROGRESS—FATAL SHIPWRECK. ‘The steamship City of Sidney arrived at Suez on the 21th of December, with dates Sidney to the 1ith and Melbourne to the 17th of Novenber, She had £105,467 in gold, ‘Trade at Melbourne continued depressed.

The arrival of the Governor, how- ever, is hou ly expected. and this wil! put au end to the difficulty The Land bili and the Municipal Corporations bill have both been introduced. On Friday, Oct. 30, the Legislative Council atopted una pimously, on the motion of Mr. Montefiore, certain resolu- tons denouncing the irregularities and defects which have charasterited the steam postal service between the colony and Great Britain. We have received files of papers from Melbourne to the 16th November, inclusive. FS We take the following from the Sydney Argus of that jate— Covony o¥ Victoria. —In availing ourselves of the depar- ture of the City of Sydney as the mail ship for November, ‘we regret that we must begin our summary of the history of the past mouth by chronichng the existence of a general and widely spread dissatisfaction with the postal service as now conducted. Gowp.—The vessel that will convey this to Suez will take ‘a parce! of gold that w'll complete the quantity of 100 tons of that metal oe during the current year. From all the gold-producing districts the yield bas been well maintained, and the escort returas are still in excess of those of the year 1866, ‘The district around Mount Ararat, the most westward and the newest gold fleld, is Pye acon Sd lines daily, and a field for the employment of mining labor and enterprise as extensive as the far famed and stitl flourishing Bendigo is being opened up. From thence to Beechworth the re- porta are alike. ‘The yield is steadily maintained, aud the population is employed.” An instance of juck, searcely paralicied in the annals of Ballarat, occurred yesterday. Three men, nine months ago, left Ballarat for Ararat, and remained there until the present time without betug able to earn & livelihood. On Thursday they returned here, possessed of only one single sixpence, and went to work on the old shallow ground on the Black-bill Flat, At three o'clock in the afternoon they came upon a large quantity of small gold, and a beautifully veined specumen weighing 125 ounces, which, from its small size, is evidently nearly all gold. This is another proof of the unexhausted state of our ground, and a well deserved reward to those perse- vering men who for nine long months have battled with extreme poverty, and five minutes before they came upon these riches did not know where to procure their evening meal. ‘Lanor.—The number of assisted and unassisted immi- grants during the last few days has been very great, and we much fear that those who depend on immediate em- ployment will be disappointed. AgwieviruR®.—During the month no event of espe- cial importance to the agricultural interest has occurred. There has been a downward tendency im the prices of most articles of produce, but this more nearly affects im- porters than our own farmers, who bad mostly disposed of last season's crops before the fall in prices commenced. We are now on the eve of what promises to be an abund- apt harvest, avd there is no fear this year of any of the corn being lost for waut of hands to gather it. The Launch of the Leviathan. {From the London Nimes, Jan. 7.) Yesterday morning the slow-pushing etforis which con- stitute the process of lauoching this vessel were recom- for the #ixth time, with the same sanguine hopes fident assertions which have distinguished all other atierapts during the last two tnouths. It was in tended to have gone to work soon after daybreak, but the severe frost of the previous night bad frozen atl the water in ibe tam pumps and feed pipes, and even the pisions into Yue cylinders of the rams themselves. This of course occaziuned a delay, since fires had to bo lighted, and the pipes nag pumps th before augthivg couid be done, so that it was near 11 o'clock before all was in readiness for another start. The fires which were lit had to be kept up throughout the day, and some 25 or were burning in the fore and aft cradies in iron braxiers, when they were used in the water we rams, 6 property done the world merced freezing in the cylinders. By the new arran mept by which all the hydraulic machines are jo: f pply pipes in groups of three, the presenre was got upon the cradles so easily (hat the Loviathan, after rest of nearly three weeks, slipped at once for two three inches, and in short slips of the same kind she con- tinued to progrese throughout the day, At 6 o'clock, when Work was discantiaued, @he had Taala twenty six slips inal, in length varying from two to five tpehos cach, accordivg we the proxwure war great and the elas- ety of th iver threw her olf with more or less fur ve. Her whole progroes was eight feet tree ant a halt inches aft aud three feet one inch forward. The rea son of this creat difference between the progress of the stem and stern is, because the fore part of the ves tel i# already #0 much in advance as wo have twisted the cradies on the wiys. Yesterday { therefore, almost the whole of the pressure was applied on the afteradie, and the difference of position between that and the forward one in a great measure removed. There seems bo reason to doubt that if the tackle which hauls her towards the Thames could have been used, the reauit of yesterday's work would have been some thirty or forty feet, as it is the strain — upon the immense chains across the river which keeps her in motion for three or four feet ‘when once tbe rams have started ber. As it was, however, in consequence of the accident which happened the da) before, when the steam barge, with all the gear for haul- ing in’ the chains was sunk by a bark, nothing could be done with the river tackle. This ‘tion of the launching apparatus is under the charge of Caytain Harri fon, who has exerted himself so indefatigably since the accident happened that the damage will be almost entirely repa.red by to-day, when 80 tons sérain will be ready at the stern, and 120 at the bows. In addition to the admirable arrangement of joining the rama in threes, each machine is now fitted with » pressure gauge, which records the exact weight per circular inch oa each ram. Each ram also-though nearly all are capable of bearing ® pres sure of four or five tons to the isch—has been gauged, and the eecape valve so weighted as to let out the water at a pressure of S0cwt. to the inch. With these pre cautions t is next to impeasible that they can now be burst. The united preesure of all twenty one rams now fixed, and working at 30 cw®. the circular inch, would amount to no lees than 4,000 tons, which, as the resistance of the Leviathan has yet been known to exceed 1,900 tons, is, Of course, more than double the force they are likely ever to be wanted to exert, From @ record Kept yesterday of the presaure upon the rama when cach lip wae made it seems that the average «train required to move her was 1,300 tons. The variations abc ve and below this standard, however, were constant, and occurred in a most unaccountable manner. Some he slipped when the register barely showed 1,000 ure, and then, probably, at the next movement, 700 toms was exer! before they could get a force of her t move an ineb. The fires in the braziers in the cra dlee were to be kept ap during last ht, ae it is with good reason apprehended that the packings of the rams may freeze, which would, of course, occasion much de lay before the work to-day could be resumed. [From the London Globe, Jaa. 8.) The arrangements in connection with the Iaunch were proceeded with thie morning, and the results up to the time of our going to prese have been of the most satisfac tory character. The ft ving disappeared, the opera- tion were conducted greater facility than before. Shortly after nine ty this morning Mr. Brunel took bis ueual stand upon bis elevated platform, and « pressure was at once applied tothe vessel of about twenty five owt to the e'reular inch. The abip at once obeyed this power and moved in starts of three, four and five inches. A slight mischief occurred in consequence of the bow chain failicg, and this caused a temporary check im the baviing power. An increased strain came upon oo of the enchors on_the Deptford shore, which brought away the piles, There was no cessation, however, ip the hydraulic pressure, and the vessel continued her movements, stern. At this period the distance she had traversed to the extremity of the ways aft (low water mark) wae measured by @ Thames police boat's crew, in charge of Mr. Inspector Borlase, and found to be 64 fest 634 inches. Ip the early part of the ebb the schooner Eliza, of Milford, touched upon the forward ways, and remained there. She wil! get off, however, at flood. On the return of the mea from dinner at half past twelve, operations were resamed, and the ehip continued her former quick progress, some of the starts being accomplished with a preseare of litte over 20 cwt to the inch, The full hanling chain pur chase will be brought t@ bear in the course of the ater noon, and the (istance she bas advanced at the stern more than at the bow will be reduced, At two o'clock this afternoon ehe wae 6 feet 2 inches at the bow, and 7 feet & mebes at the stern, This is looked upon as a highly encouraging progres.
