      XAVAL AND MILITARY . Admiral Euieijs has decided that the six-barrelled revolver shall in future be used as a boardings weapon in the French navy . ¦' , ' .-A letter from the Eurysilus , 51 , dated Alexandria , March 2 , states that when at sea , running eight knots , Thomas Childs , an able seaman , fell overboard . A 28-feet cutter , fitted with Captain Kynaston ' s lifeboat hooks , was , with her crew , disengaged with great facility , although on the weather sidev and the man saved . The circumstance had attracted the attention of the Pasha of Egypt , who expressed a particular wish to Captain Tarleton to witness the working of the hooks . The new screw steam frigate Mersey , 40 , went out of Portsmouth harbour on Wednesday , to test her speed . The results of the trial gave great satisfaction both to the contractors for the engines and the Government officials on board . Her nominal power is 1 , 000 horse , but on the trial it was worked up to the enormous power of 4 , 000 horses . The average results of speed obtained in the four runs at the measured mile gave butter than 13 ) knots . Amongst gtlier improvements the Mersey has turee auxiliary engines to supply the boilers and to act as a steam fire-engine } by means of which the engineer and hi .- ? men could extinguish Jiny fire below during an action without culling the crew . from their guns . Those " donkey " engines are also made availublo in other ways to save labour . The Mersey ' s armament consists of , on the upper deck , 12 8-ineh pivot guns , 10 feet 0 indies long , throwing a solid shot of 68 lb . Main deck , 28 10-inch guns , 9 feet 4 inches long , throwing liollow shot of 84 lb . A broadside from her would pivo to an enemy in action l , 052 lbs , of iron . TI . e ship is said to have one serious fault , in her steering apparatus . Wo understand tlmt nil steamships » ra in future to bo fitted with stenni flre ' -engines on the Mersey's plan . The South-Eastern Ruilwny Company , \ mdor nn engagement witli Government , have commenced operations for laying down an immediate extension of thoir lino of rails from 1 'lumstcad to "Woolwich Arsenal , which will fiioilifato n speedy transport of guns and wtw stores to the const defences , in the event of nny sudden or pressing emergency .

      Continental Notes. France. . The Grand R...

      CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE . . The grand review of the Imperial Guard took place oh Sunday ; but no political demonstration ot any kind was observed . The expected cry otVivc P Italic was not Tittered ; and , indeed , considering the present " pacific phase" of the question it i ^ notlSy that orders ' should liave been given for Sny inanifestation of the kind .. The Emperor-did not leave the ground tillfive o ' clock . Asa spectacle , JhcreYiew-wIs magnificent , and it was favoured by lovelv weather . The Emperor arrived on the Clanp deVars , by the Ecole Militaire , He was accompanied by his uncle , the Prince Jeromes cousin the Prince Napoleon and nn ' ^ m ^^ f ° " ^ v - ing of marshals and generals . , _ He rode V" ^ ™ und the lines , distributed decorations to deputations from ill the regiments present , and then witnessed the filiU mst . The Empress and the Princess C oth dc , ! n two carriage , and four , arrived on the ground at the same time with the Emperor , and witnessed the review from a decorated "ilconj in . front of the Ecole Militaire The Empress vas accompanied by the little Imperial Prince , * . iowore t ! ic uniform of a Corporal of the Guard . The Times makes the following announcement t"A Congress of the great Powers will meet either at London or Berlin , to take into consideration the state of Italy and the complications to which it . has led There is no doubt that this solution is the best under the circumstances—in fact , - the- only one , considering how far each of the two . Sovereigns principally concerned has committed himself , "ine recent conduct of the French and bardnuan Courts is not calculated to ensure a happier fortune . lor Italy ; but we trust that , now the settlement of that unhappy country has been committed to Europe , the great Powers , ami especially England and Prussia , will make their voices heard in favour of humanity and good government . France and Austria have called a Congress , not only to cecide the points in dispute between them , but to take counsel , for the permanent tranquillity ot Southern Europe . " , The Monilenrof Tuesday contained an announcement respecting the proposed congress , differing in some important particulars from the unoflicwl statements by which it had been anticipated , llie Moniteurattributes the origin of the Congress not to the efforts of Lord Cowley , but to the proposition of Russia , to which , it . is added , England , Austria , and Prussia have not yet formally acceded . As to the basis of negotiations , upon the sufficiency and firmness of which the success of the labours ' of the plenipotentaHes would before all things depend , nothing certain is ascertained . No tangible concession has yet been announced in any quarter on the part of Austria . . ' „ ,.. + The Mornimj Post states , that "No basis is yet agreed upon for . , negotiating , therefore the meeting o f the Congress must not be considered as certain . The announcement of the Moniteur caused a rise of 4 per cent , in ltentes . The Moniteur also contains a report by M . DclaiT'le , on the subject of Protestant worship m France . Henceforth , in order to increase the guarantees for liberty of worship , the authority for the opening of new Protestant chapels , meunng-placcfs , ¦& c , will be granted , not by prefects , but by the Emperor , in his Council of Stnte . Tho Toulon Sentindle of Murch 23 announces that four steam frigates have received orders to siiil for the puvpose of fetching troops from Algiers . It is asserted that Prince Napoleon will represent France at the proposed Congress , and also that all tho Italian Princes will bo represented . Nothing certain is yet known ( id to tho acceptance of Austria , but tho general belief is that sho will also give in her adhesion to tho proposal of a Congross . Tho Monilaur states that the Cabinets of London and Uurlin have agreod to the proposition of a Congress . . AUSTRIA , Austria is transferring from Triosto to Venice whatever property belonging to the-Government is doomed valuable .

The stab which was aimed at him a few years sin . e by an Hungarian , though warded off by the buckle of his cravat , touched the nape of the neck , and inflicted a wound which has induced other ill results . The first symptom indicating any tiling . wrong was an imperfection of Vision . The optical nerve was restored , but not before communicating the disease to the brain . The Emperor , at times , is stated to be unable to collect his thoughts ; while his disposition has become excitable and desirous of change . The spread of the malady is feared ly tlie physicians , since , from the nature of its origin , its cure seems difficult .
