The saving in the cost of materials will be even larger. At the present time the yard is in complete working order, and is capable of turning out £ 150,000 worth of work in a year, with the existing plant and machinery; but the contemplated erection of additional workshps and the extension of the space necessary for laying down ves- sels, will enable this to be increased to R560,000, with, re- latively, very little increased annual expense in manage- ment, mnt, and taxes. The Directors have been enabled to secure tile wlwle pro- perty at a valuation, the proprietor receiving the whoU of the purchase money in shares. In all contracts for building ships it is usual to have the payments made according as the work proceeds, and to retain the security of the vessel until final payment is made; and it is on this account that a capital of 2100,000, with proper management, will be ample to carry on a business to almost any extent, and as a minimum profit of 10 per cent, is calculated upon all estimates for work undertaken, the subscribers may confidently anticipate di- vidends of at least 20 per cent. per annum on the capital invested. Iron is superseding wood in the construction of ships, and with our unlimited resources of that material, the cheapness and abundance of coal, and the natural skill of English artificers in iron, it may be correctly assumed that England, before the expiration of many years, will acquire almost the entire ship-building business of the world; and in the re-construction of our navy there is little doubt it will be found desirable to entrust the building of iron vessels to private yards possessing facih- ties foi? woi?king in that material, which do not exist in the dockyards. Of the growing importance of Iron Ship- building, sufficient evidence exists in the following letter:— "WOODEN WALLS AND IRON StDES. ■' To the Editor of the Times.' Sir,—You have asked for an explanation of the recom- mendations of the Clarence Paget, of America to President Buchanan, on the subject of wooden walls. The explana- tion is the simplest possible. The entire Mercantile St3am Navy of Great Britain, with the exception only of some old vessels, is of iron. The entire Mercantile Steam Navy of America, without any exception known to me, is of wood. The reason is obvious. Timber is one of the staples of America, and we are obliged to import large quantities of it from America into England. Iron is the staple of England, and America is obliged to import large quantities of it from us. Hence, America builds timber vessels far cheaper than we can. We build iron vessels far cheaper than America can. With these facts before us, we can readily infer-first, that there are no establishments, manufactories, or skilled artificers in America, pii)pared foi-the business of ii,?n building secondly, that the introduction of iron, in sub- stitution for wood, gives to England (the country of iron) the means of attaining and maintaining an ascendancy over any other country in the matter of iron fleets; thir- dly, we see why, in wooden .hip., America had the advan?°e ?ver us, and she had the wit to use it; fourthly, she no7see?i clearly that we have in future the advantage over her, and she waits to see if we have the wit to work it. I mn, &c., J. SCOTT RUSSELL. "Westminster, 12th July, 1801." The convenience of the position, and the ample space for the extension of the premises at a mere nominal rent, renders it a certainty that this establishment will become one of the most extensive and important Iron bhip-build- ing Yards in the world. It has been thought disirable to fix the head offices in London, in order to enable the Board of Directors to com- municate directly with the agents of Foreign Governments l?o may 1,? desirouw of eung into contracts for the supply of Iron Vessels from this Yard. The accompanying letters WrX a favourable testimony of the v.rter of the work hitherto turned out from this establislunent :— "Liverpool, 25th March, 1801.

"Dear Sir We have much pleasure in stating, with reference to the new iron ship Gitana, 1340 tons, which you have just finished for us, that we consider her, in material, workmanship, and finish, as fine a ship as can be built in this country, and for this reason we give you the order for a second nearly similar vessel. Having built a good many large first-class ships with eminent builders, our opinion of the work you turn out from the Roodee Ship-yard may be of any service to you, and if we can give you a special recommendation to any of our f,i?.d., we shall be most happy to do so. ? y?? most respectfully, and Co.

THE PALM TREE.-This tree, which grows in tropical countries, is moat important, on account of the many uses to which its products are applied, From it is ob- tained the cocoa nut, date, and other fruits. When fer- mented, it yields wine; wax and oils of various kinds are got from it, and its leaves are manufactured into cordage. The centre of the tree also yields sago jlour, which for many years pMt has been successfully applied by the Messrs. WOTHEBSPOON of Glasgow in manufacturing their now celebrated GLESFIELD PATENT STARCH, and which we observe has for some years been solely and ex- clusively used in Her Majesty's Laundry, and has been pronounced by the Queen's Laundress to be "the finest starch she ever used."

ITHE NEW COUNTY HALL AND GAOL…
THE NEW COUNTY HALL AND GAOL AT CARNARVON. The town of Carnarvon is certainly one of the most ancient in Wales, and it lays claim to be considered the metropolis of the northern division. It is excellently situated for commerce and the coasting trade, does a large amount of local business, and it is the chief en- trance-gate from Liverpool and Manchester to all the western partis of North Wales adjoining the coast. If Carnarvon, therefore, were not a place of considerable importance, and a flourishing little emporium for trade, it would be a very singular thing indeed. But with all its natural and acquired advantages, Car- narvon is not great in architectural triumphs,—always excepting its magnificent Castle, which is justly included in the list of the" Seven Wonders of Wales." Its pre- sent church is not spacious nor imposing, nor in any other respect is it a master-piece of art, although we hope the projected new church, when completed, will prove worthy of being so described; nor are its Town Hall and Gaol perfect models of their kind. We do not profess to have much acquaintance with the internal fittings and arrangements of the latter- named structure; but rumour, with her loud-toned trumpet, has blazoned forth some very ugly tales indeed. It is not sufficiently spacious, and not at all commo- dious; it is impossible to separate the different classes of prisoners for want of appropriate wards and yards; and this, for reformatory" reasons, is considered by the proper authorities, an essential point-that is, it is a fatal and radical defect. Gaols, as a rule, should be built more for use than for ornament; but as the pre- sent one at Carnarvon is neither the one nor the other, no one can possibly regret its speedy destruction; and in our opinion, the speedier it is accomplished, the better. We are glad, therefore, for the sake of the inhabitants of the town and the county generally, that the magis- trates have decided on its demise as a gaol, and that a new county gaol is to be built. As for the Town Hall, ordinary English would be in- adequate to describe its style of architecture, or the full glory of its many demerits. It is a Town Hall in nega- tion, and by usage and courtesy only. It is a portion of the body corporate which no true Carnarvomte can possibly take pride in; nor can it be shewn to the ro- mantic tourist as a fine specimen of the sublime or the picturesque-such as is the hoary old Castle. It almost seems to be ashamed of its own miserable existence, as it has skulked out of the way, as it were, and taken up its stand in a corner. It is a very difficult matter for anyone, save a "native," to discover its whereabouts; and when a person has fairly made his entrance into it, he is almost as much puzzled on his return how to effect his exit. It contains no especial convenience for the Judge, the Jury, and witnesses. It certainly possesses a few seats for a limited number of the members of the bar; but should there be present an average number of witnesses in an average number of cases, the public must, in effect, be excluded. There appears to be a closet situate in some niche of the building or other, as one was accidentally discovered by one of the Judges the other day; but as that learned functionary was at the time in search of a retiring room wherein to adjust his wig, the discovery could not have given rise to any intense feeling of satisfaction. Upon the whole, the County Hall at Carnarvon is precisely what it should not be; its very best "appliances" being of a negative rather than of a positive character. It might have done very well for a hall of justice during the feudal times, and when Edward I. reigned in the Castle; but since the days when trial by jury came into vogue, it must have been a very pest-house and a nuisaiiee-Ilt mockery, a delusion, and a snare That the magis- trates of Carnarvonshire, therefore, should have decided to supersede it by a new building better adapted to pro. of jUfJtioe, and to oouform, in some de. gree, to our modern notions of convenience, cannot at all be surprising. The real cause of wonder would have been, had they refrained from doing so. For, whilst the chief town in the county thus possesses a gaol which has not proper accommodation for prigoieri and a hall of justice, the type of which belongs to medkeval times, nearly every other town of any im- portance whatever in the county, can bout of a nice commodious Sessions House, well fitted up with every necessary convenience. Such a building might also be rendered an ornament to the place as well as generally useful to the iiibabitants-a something to be proud of, rather than a deformity and an eyesore. The expense of erecting the two structures, will of course be consi- derable but as it will be spread over the whole county, and also over 14 years, it will scarcely be felt by any one save the very largest ratepayers. At all events, we shall have something useful to shew for our money; and the county will no longer be liable to the reproach of having the worst gaol, and the most incommodious County Hall in Wales—and that will be something.
I NORTH WALES LUNATIC ASYLUM.…
NORTH WALES LUNATIC ASYLUM. One of the most startling facts connected with our social condition is the great increase, of late years, of idiocy and lunacy, and this, too, not only in Wales, but throughout the whole of the United Kingdom. Were the distribution of this most lamentable class of dis- eases less equalized, it might be attributed to local causes, or to particular states of society-to starvatIon, gluttony, or intemperance; but as this has been proved not to be the case, the true cause of the increase has yet to be ascertained and accounted for, and the problem is unquestionably a difficult one. Probably our highly artificial manner of living has a good deal to do with it for these diseases are less frequent amongst barbarous races whose habits and manners are more simple and natural. But whatever may be the predisposing cause of lunacy, it is the most terrible affliction which can be- fal a human being-the most fearful of all the dispensa- tions of Providence; and whatever can be done to miti- gate or to cure it, should be done. Until even recent years, the steps taken to arrest the disease, were more calculated to intensify than to check it, and our lunatic asylums more resembled a terrestrial Pandemonium than anything else. Thanks, however, to the progress of pathological science, and to the enlightenment and hu- manity of the present age, the brutish and ignorant sys- tem has been altogether abandoned for one more rational, as well as less cruel; and in our public as well as in our private asylums, the lunatically-afflicted have all the comfort and attention which can possibly be rendered them. We are sorry to find that the increase in North Wales, during the past year or two, has been so great as to ne- cessitate a large addition to the asylum, not many years ago erected at Denbigh, and at so great an expense. The present building is calculated to accommodate 200 inmates, and, as fully this number had been admitted into it a few months ago, the officials were compelled to write to the different'Union and Magistrates' clerks, stating the fact, and requiring of them to write to the asylum to ascertain whether there were a vacancy or not before they sent any more pauper lunatics. Of course, the order was meant to be temporary only, and until the asylum could be enlarged. In consequence of this, it would seem that pauper lunatics have had to be sent to the Chester and other asylums, and at a consi- derably higher rate of charge. At the recent several Quarter Sessions for North Wales, the question of the proposed addition was brought before the magistrates; but it was not in every case unconditionally assented to. Two estimates were sent in to each Sessions; namely, one for 200 additional patients, the cost for which extension, including a new kitchen, cesspool, &c., will be £ 8,500 and the other for 100 additional patients at a total cost of £ 5,600—an increase being strongly recommended by the Commis- sioners in Lunacy. The Flintshire magistrates, for the 200 additional, it got, only by a majority of 9 to 8 and after much dissatisfaction had been expressed by Lord MOSTYN, Col. ROWTÆY, and others at the higher class of patients being allowed to have more than their share of accommodation, to the exclusion of pauper patients for whom chiefly the asylum was erected—thereby en. tailing extm costs on the ciunty, as they were com- pelled to send the paupers elsewhere and at an increased charge. At Wrexham, the magistrates were by no means unanimous on the subject, the Rev. W. WILLIAMS suggesting that it should be enlarged to accommodate 100 more patients only-Capt. PANTON remarking that the matter was a serious one to the ratepayers, as when lunatics were sent to other asylums they had to pay 13/ or 14/ a week for them, whereas the charge, each, in their own asylum was only 8/2. Ultimately a resolu- tion was proposed by Col. BIDDULPH, and seconded by Sir WATKIN W. WYXN, and was carried, that a sum, not to exceed C2;500, be allowed towards the expenses of the enlargement. The magistrates of Carnarvonshire, acting in accord with those of Anglesey, decided not to to sanction the enlargement, unless upon ceitain conditions, the principal of which is that a certain number of beds shall be soley appropriated for the use of the two counties, and that in proportion to the populations and their quotas of payments-the motion of the Chairman, (Lord NEWBOROUGH,) being earned—" That no steps be taken towards obtaining the money required until certain alterations in the rules of admission to the asylum are made." This decision will doubtless much complicate the matter; and it proves beyond question that some dissatisfaction exists as to the present system of management-whether justly or otherwise it is not for us to say. To ua it appears that a great deal of money has been needlessly thrown away in the original erection of the Denbigh Asylum-that is, in the purely ornamental portions of the building. It has, outwardly, more the appearance of a palatial residence than an asylum for poor lunatics; and, in our opinion, there did not exist the slightest necessity for building a palace instead of an assylum. Space, good ventilation, and internal accommodation were imperatively required but these could have been all secured for a sum much less than was expended on the present edifice, with equal utility, and without any necessity, either, for the architect to have raised a barn-like structure. We hope, therefore, that utility and economy only will be kept in view in carrying out the contemplated enlargement, for mere ornament, in such a building, is not only wasteful ex- penditure, but it is hardly in keeping with the character and objects of a Lunatic Asylum. There is, also, another matter on which we wish to make a few friendly remarks. It appears from the observations made by Col. ROWLEY and Lord MOSTYN, at Mold, that there were in the asylum, lately, no less than 36 patients belonging to the 1st and 2nd classes— that is, of persons who from their positions in life were en- abled to pay for their maintenance and treatment; and this at a time, when, from want of room, pauper patients had to be sent to other asylums, thus causing an extra charge upon the ratepayers of about 6/ per week, per pauper. Now this appears to be a very great hardship. The asylum is a charity, and as such was origin- ally intended chiefly for the accomodation of the poorer classes, who are unable to pay for private estab- lishments, and who, if there were no such asylum, would be entirely neglected, and debarred from any proper means of cure. Their claims, then, appear to us to be the primary ones; and, if, from want of accommo- dation, there arise the necessity of refusing applications for admission, the refusal should be to those who can afford to go elsewhere, and not to the pauper, who is completely helpless in the matter. Of course, it is en- tirelya question of accommodation, and one which we hope will never arise again should the proposed extension be carried into effect; but still we are of opinion that as the asylum was built for the use of the poor, they ought not to be deprived of their privilege to make way for others, who, however sadly afflicted, possess the means of being provided for elsewhere. In making these re- marks, we must be understood to be calling in question the propriety and justice of the system, and not at all the conduct of the officers of the asylum, or the Com- mittee, who we believe do all in their power to render the poor lunatics as comfortable as possible, and to alle- viate their afflicted and melancholy condition. We received the following communication from a private correspondent, just before going to press NORTH WALES LUNATIC ASYLUM.-At a large meet- ing of the visiting Justices from the several counties on the 24th inst., resolutions were adopted in favour of the proposed additions to the building, accompanied with a proviso carried by a majority of two to one, that the cost of the new building shall be apportioned according to the census of 1861, and that whenever any county shall send in more than its due quote of patients, a small charge shall be made in respect of the excess, in favour of those counties that may not have their full proportion of patients in the House."
I FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
I FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. The Court is once more in England. The royal party left Balmoral on Tuesday evening, and arrived at Edinburgh the same evening,-being safe at Holyrood by 7 o'clock p.m. The Duchess of WELLINGTON, the Duke of BMCLEUGH, the Hon. W. F. COOPKR, and Major General WALKER, joined Her Majesty s dinner-party.- I Yesterday afternoon, the foundation stone of the ne General Postoffice were laid by the PRINCE CONSORT, immense crowds lining the streets, through which his royal highness passed from Holyrood to the site; at half past 8 the royal family left the noble old Scotch pa l ace for the south, the route along the Queen's park being lined by a body of Volunteers, carrying torches and, ere now, they are, I hope, safe at Windsor Castle. There is little stirring at home, at present, except the agricultural gatherings, two or three of which have recently taken place every week. The Conservatives predominate at these meetings; and where politics are adverted to, generally the speakers are of that party. A general tone of moderation, -but a determination to uphold our institutions-haa pervaded their speeches. And they appear to meet with general approval; for, as Lord JOHN MARNERS said at Leicester on Tuesday evening, from one end of England to the other, there is a determination, that our institutions shall not be hazarded to the risks and the dangers which have fallen upon the institutions of the United States. Mr. DISRAELI has, this year, absented himself from all these meetings. He was expected at the meeting of the Bucks Agricultural Association on Tuesday, at Amers- ham; but he sent a note instead, saying it was a great disappointment" to him that he could not attend, but assigning no reason. On the Liberal side, the most important events that have recently transpired, are, that the Messrs. BRIGHT have again proposed to reduce the wages of their men, who have struck work in conse. quence. The men say, the proposal is to reduce their receipts by one third. The papers have been occupied with the doings," at Konigsberg, last week, to celebrate the coronation of the KING. They appear to have been on a scale of great magnifioence; and it has been the aim of the French ambassador to outvie all his colleagues in dazzling show. The French papers said, he was allowed E60,000 for his expenses; but the letters of this morning tell us, that he has a carte blanche as to his expenditure; the object being, to impress the Prussians with an unlimited idea of the wealth of France; and that at a time, when there is the greatest fear of a financial crisis in that country ;—an event which would certainly have occured, had not the Bank of FraDce been enabled to obtain a loan in England; and it will have to resort here again for the same purpose, it is thought, ere long. This week, the rejoicings and festivities have been removed from Konigsberg to Berlin. Paris, Oct. 19.-Sir,-Charged with the interests of the Cot st:tutic nnel, I beg to m ka you an offer to join me in the political and literary direction of that journal." Such was a note, signed by the" Viscount d'ANCHARD* managing director of the Constitutionnel," and addressed to III. Louis VERON, deputy to the legislative body," which appeared in that journal of Monday, with the reply of M. VERON, bearing the same date, subjoined, to the following effect:—" Sir,-I accept the proposal contained in your letter of this day. For the second time, since 1848, I find myself charged with the political and literary direction of the Constitutionnel. Devotedness, but absolute independence, such will be my,line of conduct." This correspondence arose out of the dismissal of M. GRANDGUILLOT, for the|share, it is under. stood which he had in the attack on Switzerland, mentioned in my last. He joins the Pays as rcdacteur en chef; PAULIN LIMAYNI going from that paper to the Constitutionnel as assistant to M. de VERON. Last week, the Count de PERSIGNY sent several warnings to the press; and one to Revue des deux Moades, it is thought, will be appealed against. The QUEEN of Spain has had the misfortune to lose a daughter. The Infanta Maria de la Conception after several weeks' illness, died on Monday. There is another arrival from America, this morniug, the dates being to the 13th inst. On the Potomac, the Confederates are represented as retreating, and the Federals as advancing. There has been two naval affairs in the South. On the 7th of October, the Con- federates endeavoured to re-capture the forts at Hatteras Inlet. They met with some success at first, but were ultimately repulsed.—A few days latter, the Confederate fleet of gun-boats attacked the Federal bombarding squadron at New Orleans; and after a sharp fight, sunk one vessel, and drove the rest on shore.- The Washington Bank had refused to take the Treasury notes; we shall learn by the next arrival what this will lead to.- The latest phase in this question is, that SMITH O'BRIEN—the hero of the Widow's Garden, has written to TOM MEAGHER, seriously and not in jest, offering to go at his own expense, to America, as an unpaid, "internuncio," to mediate between the two parties. And he has had the additional folly to publish his letter. After this, we may well ask, What next ?" The Overland Mail, with dates to the 14th of Septem- ber from Calcutta, and the 27th from Bombay, have ar- rived. The Bombay Gazette says-" The past fortnight has not been signalised by any remarkable events. Pros- perity-political, social, agricultural, commerciai- has reigned through the land." Nothing can be more satisfactory. Dr. FORBES and Mr. HAYWOOD, employees of the Manchester Cotton Company, had arrived at Bom- bay, and entered on their duties. It appears that the very heart of Nagpore, and the centre of the cotton dis- trict, has been reached by internal navigation; and the river and the rail will compete for the traffic of Berar and Nagpore. An extension line from Nassick to Chal- lisguam, 86 miles long, and bringing the line into Khan. deish, and the centre of the Taptree Valley, was to be opened on the 1st of October. In the district of Raj- pootaua, a party of 600 rebels was moving about, pur- sued by the troops of the MAHARAJAH and the British Government. All the rest of India appears to have been perfectly tranquil and content. There has been a terrible inundation in Egypt, occa. sioned by the rising of the Nile. The intelligence that the river had risen this year to an unusual height, was brought some days ago; but the particulars of the dis- aster were only I ecei ved this week. The effects of the flood are most disastrous. More than 50 villages have been swept away; one account says, more than 209 The railroad between Alexandria and Cairo has been washed away on several points, and will take three or four months to repair. The cotton crop, and those of maize, sugar-cane, sesame, and rice, have also been wash- ed away or much injured. The inundations cover 621 square miles. Besides the private distress, this visita- tion will greatly embarrass the Egyptian viceroy, who will not only have to go to great expense to repair the railway, but will be for some time unable to levy taxes on the ruined fellahs. JENNY LIND first appeared in England, the Times re- minds us, on Tuesday, the 4th of May, 1847. She took her farewell of public life on the 30th of June, 1856. And on the 22nd of October, 1861, she has again ap- peared, and delighted her hearers with the" concord of sweet sounds." Happy with her husband, and ill the society of a circle of friends, JENNY, now Madame OTTO GOLDSCHMIDT, has no ambition beyond the empire of tho domestic hearth, where she remains supreme. But a call of charity has been made upon her, and she has again obeyed. The Rev. HERMAN DOUGLAS, the rector of a district called London-beyond-the-border," because it lies just beyond the Essex boundary, has planned se- veral institutions for his very poor parish. Money has been subscribed pretty liberally; but more is wanting. A scries of musical performances is to be given for the benefit of the fund, to which this lady gives her talents gratuitously. The first, Elijah, took place at Exeter Hall, on Tuesday eveuing. She took her old character in it, and never sang better. SIMS REEVES and WEISS were the principal male vocalists. M. OTTO GOLD- SCHMIDT conducted and most well and effectively he wielded the baton. The plaudits of the audience were loud, long, end often repeated.
