      Something For Consideration, Xo The Edir...

      SOMETHING FOR CONSIDERATION , XO THE EDirOB CHF " THE LEADER . " gIBj—in the moaey article of the Times of this date , it is announced that Mr . Thomas Howard , of Manchester , and Mr . J . O . Lever , M . P ., have purchased , on speculation , the screw steamship fleet of the European and American Company , consisting of eight magnificent vessels , now , I believe , in the Victoria Docks . In ordinary times ,, this might excite little sensation and less comment . At present , I conceive it to be a fact of great importance ; and I beg leave , through your columns , to draw the attention of the Government to the following circumstances as briefly as I can touch upon them . These vessels , new , powerful , effective , representing some 20 , 000 tons of shipping , may be converted into war steamers or transports at discretion . They are eminently fitted to carry the Armstrong gun as they are , and rery little strengthening would , therefore , suffice t » make them capable of carrying the ordinary heavy guns of modern navies . What if they should pass into the hands of France , or of Russia , or even of Spain ? What if they should be transferred to Cherbourg ? Ere long , the Admiralty may be straining every nerve in our dockyards to get ships ready to meet a combination of our foes . I shall attempt no forcible language . I only ask , ought this nation to let such a fleet as this go at such a moment ? "Vigilans . London , May 20 th , 1859 .

      The Wine Ceop In France.—In The Bordelai...

      The Wine Ceop in France . —In the Bordelais , the owners of vineyards are generally satisfied with the state of the vegetation of the vines . In Burgundy they do hot express satisfaction , but they have ceased to complain . In the Herault , prices are exceedingly firm , and if , as i & hoped , large orders for the army be given , great activity will take place in the markets of that department . At Comdon , proprietors will not make any concession , and even when purchasers appear disposed to accept their prices , they raise them . In the Ihdre , business is calm , and during the last week was nearly null . French Crutseks ok the . COAST .- ^ -Three French cruisers were the other day reconnoitring the Lin-CQlnshire coast of the Htumber and German Ocean . On the Cornwallis saluting them , the officers of two of the French craft replied that they were watching the movement of sooie Austrian coal-trading vessels from one of the Durham Collieries ; while the officers of the other alleged jthat they were looking after some fishing smacks , the crews of which could not agree . { Southampton Docks . —The alterations which have been going on for several months past for the purpose of enlarging and deepening the inner dock at the port of Southampton are noAv completed , at an estimated cost of 50 , 000 ? . This dock now occupies an area of 10 acres , and the depth of water is 30 feet . It is capable of giving quay berths to 16 of the largest screw steam ships afloat . Ranged around are extensive warehouses and vaults ; tlrere is no rise and full of the water in tins dock , and it can always be lowered at pleasure , so that any vessel embarking or landing cattle can be placed on a level gangway . Modest Request . —At the Woolwich Local Board of Health a conversation took place respecting the removal to her friends at Gibraltar of a woman and five children who were chargeable to the parish . One of the members suggested that , as Sir William Codrington had been appointed Governor of Gibraltar , he would probably use his influence to obtain a passage for the woman in the same ship . The gallant officer replied * that as he was to start on the following day it was too late to attend to the matter . / Military Teetotallers . ' —During the past two months a temperance movement has taken place , in the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines at Woolwich . A teetotal society , comprising a large number of military members , lias been formed , and numerous meetings havo been held at the Scotch Church , which were presided over by officers of the Royal Artillery . French Military Costume on Skrviob . . — Regiments appointed to join the army leave , on marching , their tunic and shako at the depot , and malco the oampaiga with a loose greatcoat and kepi , or foraging cap . This dress , ] p ss showy than the full-dress uniform , is much more convenient in marching . It was tried in Africa with groat euccess . It relieves a man considerably , who iu campaigning has such a considerable weight of ammunition and provisions to carry . Tho soldier finds himself more at his ease in this loose dress than in a close-buttoned frock coat and heavy shako , The digging of tho Isthmus pf Suez Canal couamoncqd on tho 25 th of last month , the first sod being turned by M . Ferdinand do Leesope , in the presence of the contractor of the worke .
