NEW POETRY.
"Tort BLAMELESS BEINCE."—EaM9I4 Clarem
Stedman, most favorably known ass poet of great
delicacy and elegance, if not of the,most massivo
strength, issues to-day a nOW vOlume,whiek is ,
dedicated to his friend of tho, "Songs ' of Sum
mer," Richard Henry Stoddard. Mr. Stedman's
'"..ce of Monmouth, an Idyl of the Great War,"
and his previous collection of lyrical and idyllic
Poems, have respectively passed into third edi
tions.:.; • •
The present volume is published by Fields,
Osgood & Co., and for sale by Turner Bros. &
Co. It its name from the opening poem,
a bcentiful idyl about an unblamed, rather than
l'blaraciess" Prince, whose native nobility of soul
Is only marred by one single peche vcniel, which in
pctetic justice is made to bring its own punish
ment after it. When the Prince, seeking his soft
rendezvous by. stealth in a storm, is thrown and
kilted, his wronged queen erects a .wonderful
monument in his mmory; and the poem closes
in a high, serene measure, as follows :
THE ITNYMLING ON THE STATUE.
But when the sun was high, the populace
BY every gateway filled the roads, and sought
The martial plain, within whose central space
That wonder of the Yrince's tomb was wrought
Thereto from out the nearer land there passed
The mingled folk, an 'eager throng and vast;
Knights, commons, men and women, young and
old, r.
The present and the promise of the realm.
Onion the corning of the Queen was told,
And mounted ,guards with sable plumes at
Made tlifou n gb, the middle, like a reaper's swath,
A straight, wide roadway for the sovereign's
• path:
Then TOBEt thelnurmurous sound of her advance,
Anoi , with the crown-prince, and her other
- 'brood
led close behind, she came. Her countenance
)4OVed net to , right nor left, until she stood
'Before the tomb; yet those, who toek the breath
lbat clothed her progress, felt a waft of death.
O nOble Maityri, queenliest intent!
Strong' human soul, that holds to pride through
all 1
Jib inOrivith what fierce heavings in them pont
The'brilVe complete their work , whatc'er be

Vptiik her front the people only read
Pale'grief that clung forever to the dead.
lioirthould they know Abe trod the royal stand,
And stook within her hold the silken line,
is. while the headsman waits, one lays her hand
Upon the E earl that slays her by a sign ?
Willi one great pang the drew the veil, and to !
The work was dazzling in the noonday glow.
There F ibope the. Prince's image, golden,ligh,
Inikajled forever, In the people's sight.
"Alas they cried.,.."loo good, too fair to die l"
But at the Piot the Queen had bid them writs
Her eeneoree goodness, nn had glory-roll,
Yet knieW not they had carved upon the scroll
That lw3t assurance of hie stainless heart,—
For such they deemed his words who heard
'
hem 'fall
"Of all great things this Prince achieved his part,
Yet wedded Love to him was worth them all."
Thus read the-Queen : till now, her injured soul
Of its forlornness had not felt the whole.
Now all her heart was broken. There she fell,
.and to the skies her lofty spirit fled.
The wrong_ of those mute words had smitten
weU.
A . cry went up: "The Queen ! the Queen is
dead 1
0 regal heart that would not reign alone!
O foil sorrow! 0 the empty throne!"
Her people made her beauteous relics room
Within the chamber where her consort slept.
There rest they side by side. Around the tomb
A. thousand matrons solemn vigil kept.
Long ages told the story of her reign,
And sang the nuptial love that had no stain.
The collection of miscellaneous poetry which
swells out the volume includes a "Ryles" which
recalls pikyard Taylor's best ballad, of the same
name ; "Pan in Will - Streit," "Woods and Wit
ten," translations from Thooeritna, and various
other exercises. Very pure, yet troubled,—fit
for some modern etiolated Hamlet,—ls this pur
poseless speculation on
"THE UNDISCO V REED COUNTRY."
Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain travel,
Where Ile those happier bills and meadows low,—
Ah, If beyond the spirlt'b inmost cavil,
Aught of that country could we surely know,
Who would not go ?
Might we but hear
The hovering angels' high imagined chorus,
Or catch betimes, with wakeful eyes and clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before us.—
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
6h, who would fear ?
Were we quite sure
To find the neerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
'Togas° in eyes that here were lovelit only,—
This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure,
Who would endure ?
It would be wrong to close with an utterance
so dejected ; here is something with more of the
bit oVthe sturdy old ballads:
THE DUKE'S EXEQUY.
ARRAS, A. D. 1404.
Clothed in sable, crowned with gold,
All his wars and councils ended,
Philip lay, surnamed The Bold :
Passing-bell his quittance tolled,
And the chant of priests ascended.
Malldd knights and archers stand,
Thronging in the church of Arras ;
Nevermore at his command
Shall they scour the Netherland,
Nevermore the outlaws harass ;
Naught is left of his array
Save a barren territory ;
Forty years of generous sway
Sped his princely hoards away,
Bartered all his gold for glory.
Forth steps Flemish Margaret then,
Bislang toward the silent ashes ;
And the eyes of armed mon
Fill with startled wonder, when
On the bier her girdle clashes!
Swift she drew it from her waist,
.And the purse and keys it carried
On the ducal coffin placed ;
Them with proud demeanor faced
Sword and shield of him she married
"No encumbrance of the dead
Muet the living clog forever ;
From thy debts and dues." she said,
"From the Hens of thy bed,
We. this day our line dissever.
i Trom tby hand we gain release,
Know all present by this token!
Let the dead repose in peace,
Let the claims upon as cease
When the ties that bound are broken
"Philip, we have loved thee long,
But, in years of future splendor,
Burgundy shall count among
Bravest deeds of tale and song
This, our widowhood's surrender."
Bask the stately Duchess turned,
While the priests and friars chanted,
And the swinging incense burned
Thus by feudal rite was earned
Greatness for a race undaunted.

V. -ON AN YamAnint BRAT.
It is one of my fancies that even. My idlest
walk must alwaysbaVelts appointed dead
nation. I set myself a task before I leave
my lodging in Covent Garden on a street ex
pedition, and should no more think of alter
ing my Mite by the 'way, or turning back
and leaving a part of it unachieved, than I
should think of fraudulently violating an
agreement entered into with somebody else.
The other day,finding myself under this kind
of obligation to proceed to Limehouse, I
started punctually at noon, in compliance
with the terms of the contract with myself to
Which . my good faith was pledged.
On such an occasion it is my habit to re
gard my walk as my. Beat, and myself as a
higher sort of Police Constable doing duty on
the same. There is many a Ruffian in the
street whom I mentally collar and clear out
of them, who would Bee mighty little of Lon
don, I can tell him, if I could deal with him
physically.
Issuing forth upon this very Beat, and fol
lowing with my eyes three hulking garotters
on their way home,—which home I could
confidently swear to be within so many yards
of Drury Lane,in such' a narrow and restricted
direction (though they live in their lodging
quite as undisturbed as I in mine),—l went
on duty with a consideration which I respect
fully offer to the new Chief Commissioner,—
in whom I thoroughly confide as a tried and
efficient public servant. How often (thought
I) I have been forced to swallow, in Police
Reports, the intolerable stereotyped pill
of nonsense how that the Police
Constable informed the worthy magistrate
how that the associates of the prisoner did at
that present speaking dwell in a street or
court which no man dared go down, and how
that the worthy magistrate had heard of the
dark reputation of such street or court, and
how that our readers would doubtless re
member that it was always the same street
or court which was •edifyingly discoursed
about, say once a fortnight.
Now, suppose that a Chief Commissioner
sent round a circular to every Division of
Police employed in London, requiring in
stantly the names in all districts of - all
such much-pulled streets or courts which
no man durst go down; and suppose
that in such ch .- miler he gave plain warning:
"If those places really exist, they are a proof
of Police inefflcieny which I mean to punish;
and if they do not exist, but are a conven
tional fiction, then they are a proof of , lazy
tacit Police connivance with professional
crime, which I also mean to punish"—what
then? Fictions or realities, could they survive
the touchstone of this atom of common sense?
To tell us in open court, until it has become
as trite a feature of news as the great goose
berry, that a costly Police system such as
was never before heard of, has left in London,
in the days of steam and gas and photographs
of thieves and electric telegraphs, the sanctu
aries and stews of the Stuarts! Why,a parity
of practice, in "all departments, would bring
back the Plague in two summers, and the
Druids in a century! -
Walking faster under my share of this pub
lic injury, I overturned a wretched little
creature who, clutching at the rags of a pair
of trousers with one of its claws, and at its
ragged hair with the other, pattered with bare
feet over the muddy stones. , I stopped to
raise and succor this poor weeping wretch,
and fifty like it, but of both sexes, were about
me in a moment, begging, tumbling, fight
ing, clamoring, yelling, shivering m their
nakedness and hunger. The piece of money
I had put into _the claw , of -the child I had
overturned, was clawed out of it, and was
again clawed out of that wolfish gripe,
and again out of that, and soon I
bad no notion in what part of the
obscene scuffle in the mud, of rags
and legs and arms and dirt the money might
be. In raising the child, I had drawn it aside
out of the main thoroughfare, and this took
place among some wooden hoardings and
barriers and ruins of demolished buildings,
hard by Temple Bar.
Unexpectedly from among them emerged a
genuine Police Constable, before whom the
dreadful brood dispersed in various directions,
he making feints and darts in this direction
and in that, and catching nothing. When all
were frightened away he took off his hat,
pulled out a handkerchief from it, wiped his
heated brow, and restored the handkerchief
and hat to their places, with the air of a man
who had discharged a great moral
duty—as, indeed, he had, in doing
what was set down for him. I looked
at him, and I looked about at the disorderly
traces in the mud, and I thought of the drops
of rain and the footprints of an extinct crea
ture, hoary ages upon ages old, that geolo
gists have identified on the face of a cliff; and
this speculation came over me : If this mud
could petrify at this moment, and could lie
concealed here for ten thousand years, I
wonder whether the race of men then to be
our successors on the earth could, from these
or any melte, by the utmost force of the
burner:intellect, unassisted by tradition, de
duce such an astounding inference as the ex
, istence of a polished state of society that bore
with the public savagery of neglected
children in the streets of its capital city, and
was proud of its power by sea and land, and
never used its power to seize and save them !
After this, when I came to the Old Bailey
and glanced up it towards Nevgate, I found
that the prison had an inconsistent look.
There seemed. to be some unlucky inconsis
tency in the atmosphere that day, for though
the proportions of St. Paul's Cathedral are
very beautiful, it had an air of being some
what out of drawing, in my eyes. I felt as
though the cross were too high up, and
perched upon the intervening golden ball too
far away.
Facing eastward, I left behind me Smith
field and Old Bailey,—fire and fagot, con
demned Hold, public hanging, whipping
through the city at the cart-tail,pillory,brand
ing-iron and other beautiful ancestral land
marks, which rude hands have rooted up,
without bringing the stars quite down upon
us as yet,—and went my way.upon my Beat,
noting how oddly characteristic neighbor
hoods are divl - fieff" here
about, as though by an invisible line across
the way. Here, shall cease the bankers and
the money -changers; here, shall begin the
shipping interest and the nautical instrument
shops; here, shall follow a scarcely percepti
ble flavoring of groceries and thugs; here,
shall come a strong infusion of butchers;
now, small hosiers shall be in the ascend-,
ant; henceforth, everything exposed for sale
shall have its ticketed pr.ce attached. All this
as if specially ordered and appointed.
A single stride at Houndsditch Church, no
wider than sufficed to cross the kennel at the
bottom of the Canongate, which the Debtors
in Holyrood Sanctuary were wont to relieve
their minds by skipping 'over, as Scott re
lates, and standing in delightful daring of
Catobpoles on the free side,—a single stride,
and everything is entirely changed in grain
and character. West of the stride, a table,
or a chest of drawers on sale, shall be of
mahogany and French polished; East of the
stride, it shall be of deal, smeared with a
cheap counterfeit resembling lip salve. West
of the stride,a penny loaf or bun shall be com
pact and self-contained; East of the stride,
it shall be of a sprawling and splay-footed
character, as seeking to make more of itself
for the money. My Beat lying round by

Iturned off to my rightAndliassing round
the awkward corner on my iert, came sud
denly on an apparition *Mar • to London
streets afar off.
What London peripatetic 'orthese times
has not seen the wornan.who has fallen for
ward, double, •through some affection of the
spine, and whose head has of late taken a
turn to one side, so that it now droops :over
the back of one of her arms at about the wrist?
Who does not know her staff and her shawl,
and her basket, as she gropes her' way along,
capable of seeing nothing but the pavement,
never begging, never:stopping, forever going
somewhere on no business? How does she live,
whence does shecome whither does she go,
and why ? I mind the time when her yellow
arms were naught but Wile and parchment.
Blight changes steal over her, for there is a
shadowy suggestion of Inman skin on them
now. The Strand may be taken as the cen
tral point about which she revolves in a half
mile orbit. How comes she so far East as
this ? And coming back too! Having been
how much further ? She is a rare spectacle
in this neighborhood. I receive intelligent
information to this effect from a dog—a lop
sided mongrel with a foolish tail, plodding
along with his tail up, and his ears
pricked, and displaying an amiable interest in
the ways of his fellow-men,--if I may be al
lowed the expression. After 'pausing at a
porkshop,he is jogging Eastward like myself,
with a benevolent countenance and a watery
mouth, as though 'musing on' the many ex
cellences of pork, when he beholds this
doubled- up bundle , approaching. He
is not so much astonished at the
bundle (though amazed by that), as
at the circumstance that it has within itself
the means of locomotion. He stops, pricks
his ears higher, makes a slight point, stares,
utters a short, low growl and glistens at the
nose,—as • I conceive with terror. , - The
bundle continuing to approach,he barks,turns
tail, and is about to fly, when arguing
with himself that 'flight is not bedoking in a
dog, he turns, aiid once more .facea the ad
vancing heap of clothes. :After much hesita
tion it occurs to him that there may be a face
in it somewhere. Desperately resolving to
undertake the adventure and' pursue the in
quiry, he goes slowly round it, and, coming
at length upon the human countenance down
there where never human countenance should
be, gives a yelp of horror, and flies for the
East India Docks.
Being now in the Commercial road
district of my Beat, and bethinking
myself that Stepney Station is near, I
quicken my pace that I may turn out of
the road at that pint, and see how my small
Eastern Star is shining.
The Children's Hospital, to which I gave
that name, is in full force. All- its beds oc
cupied. There is a new face on the bed
'where my pretty baby lay,and that sweet lit
tle child is now at rest forever. Much kind
sympathy has been here, sinew my former
visit, and it is good to see the ii s ellsprofusely
garnished with dolls. I wonder what Poodles
may think of them as they stretch out their
arms above thri bedicand - Stare, and display
their splendid dresses. Poodles has a greater
interest in the patients. I find him making
the round of the beds, like a house-surgeon,
attended by another dog,—a friend—who ap
pears to trot about with him in the character
of hie pupil dresser. Poodles is anxious to
make me known to a pretty little girl, look
ing wonderfully healthy, who has had a leg
taken off for cancer of the knee. A difficult
operation, Poodles intimates, wagging his
tail on the counterpane, and perfectly suc
cessful, as you see, dear Sir! The patient,
patting Poodles, adds with a smile : "Die
leg was so much trouble tome, that I am
glad it is gone." I never ea* anything in
doggery finer than the deportment of Poodles,
when another little girl opens her mouth to
show a peculiar enlargement of the tongue.
Poodles (at that time on a table, to be on a
level with the occasion) looks at the tongue
(with his own sympathetically out), so very
gravely and knowingly, that I feel inclined to
put my hand in my waistcoat pocket,and give
him a guinea, wrapped in paper.
On my beat again, and close to Limehouse
Church, its termination, I found myself near
to certain "Lead Mills." Struck by the
name, which was fresh in my memory, and
finding, on inquiry, that these same Lead
Mills were identical with those same Lead
Mills of which I made mention when I first
visited the East London Children's Hospital
and its neighborhood, as Uncommercial Trav
eller, I resolved to have a look at them.
Received by two very intelligent gentlemen,
brothers, and partners with their father in the
concern, and who testified every desire to
show their Works to me freely, I went over
the Lead Mills. The purport of such works
is the conversion of Pig Lead into White
Lead. This conversion is brought about by
the slow and gradual effecting of certain suc
cessive chemical changes in the lead itself"
The processes are picturesque and interesting
—the most so, being the burying of the lead,
at a certain stage of preparation, in pots, each
pot containing a certain quantity of acid be
sides, and all the pots being buried in vast
numbers, in layers, under tan, for some ten
weeks.
Hopping up ladders and across planks and
on elevated perches until I was uncertain
whether to liken myself to a Bird, or a Brick
layer, I became conscious of standing on
nothing particular, looking downointo one of
a series of large cocklofts, with the outer day
peeping in through the chinks in the tiled roof
above. A number of women were ascending
to, and descending from, this cockloft, each
carrying on the upward journey a pot of pre
pared lead and acid, for deposition under the
smoking tan. When one layer of pots was
completely filled, it was carefully covered in
with planks, '
and those were carefully covered
w th tan again, and then another layer of
pots was begun above; sufficient means
of, ventilation being preserved through
wooden tubes. Going down in the cockloft
then filling, I found the heat of the tan to be
surprisingly great, and also the odor of the
lead and acid to be not absolutely exquisite,
though l believe not noxious at that stage.
In other coeklofts where the pots were being
exhumed, the heat of the steaming tan was
much greater, and the smell was penetrating
and peculiar. There were cocklofte in , all
stages ; full and empty, half filled and hair
emptied • strong, active women were clam
bering about -them busily; and the whble
thing had rather the air of the upper part of
the house of some immensely rich old Turk; '
whose faithful Seraglio were hiding his money
because the Sultan or the Paaha was coming:
As is the case with most pulps or pigments,
so in the instance of this White Lead, pro- ,
cesses of stirring, separating, washing, grind
ing, rolling, and pressing succeed. Some of ,
these are unquestionably inimical to health,
the danger arising from inhalation of particles
of lead, or from contact between the lead and
and the touch, or both. Against these
dangers, I found good respirators provided
(simply made of flannel and muslin, so as to
be' inexpensively renewed, and in some in
stances washed with scented soap). and
ganntlet gloves, and loose gowns. Every
where, there was as much fresh air as win
dowe, well placed and opened, 'ould possibly
admit. And it was explained that the pre
caution of frequently changing the women
employed in the worst parts of the work (a
precaution originating in their own experi
ence or apprehension of its ill effects) was

At Ittst this vexed white lead having been
buried, and resuscitated,' and 'heated, and
cooled, and stirred, and separated, and
washed, and ground, and rolled, and pressed,
is subjected to the action of intense fieryheat. -
A row of women, dressed as above described,
stood. let us say, ` in a large stone bake-house,
passing on the baking-dishes as they, were
given out by the cooks from hand, to hand,
natolhe ovens.' The oven or stove„ cold as
yet, looked as high as an ordinary house, and
was full of men and wtrrndn on temporary
footholds, briskly passing' Up and , stowing
away the dishes: ' The door of another oven
or stove, about to' be , cooled and emptied,
was opened from above, for ' the Uncom
mercial countenance to peer, down into. The
Uncommercial countenance withdrew itself
with expedition and a sense of, suffocation
from the dull-glowing heat and the overpow
ering smell. On the whole, perhaps the
going into these stoves to work, when they
are freshly opened, may be the worst part of
the occupatis.n.
But I made it out to be indubitable that the
owners of these lead mills honestly and sedu
lously try to reduce the dangers of the occupa
tion to the lowest point.
A washing place is provided for the wo--
men (I thought there might have been more
'towels),and a room in which they hang their
clothes, and take their meals, and where they
I have a good fire-range and ire, and a female
attendant to help them, and to watch that
they do not neglect the cleansing of their
lianas before touching their food. An expe
rienced medical attendant is provided for
them, and 'tiny premonitory symptoms of
lead-poisoning are carefully treated. Their
tea-pots and such things Were Bet out on tables
ready for their afternoon meal, when I saw
their room, and it had a homely look. - It is
found that they bear the work much better
than men; some few of them have been at it
for years, and the great majority of those I
observed were strong and active. Oa the
other:hand, it should be - reniembered that
Most of them are very capricious and irregu
lar in their attendance.
American inyentlyesess would seem to in
dicate that before very long White Lead may
be made entirely by machinery. Tao sooner,
the better. = In the mean time, I parted from
my two frank-conductors over the mills, by
telling - them that they had nothing there to be
concealeo, andnnthing to be blamed fpr. As
tb thd rest, the philosophy of the matter of
lead- poisoning and work people seems to me
to have been pretty fairly summed up by the
Irish woman whom I quoted in my former
paper : " Some of thi3m gits lead-pisoned
soon, and some of them Bits lead-plsoned
later, and stone, but not many, nivel*. end 'Lis
all according to the conatitooshun, Sur, and
some constitooshuns is strong and some is
weak."
Retracing my footsteps over my Beat, I
went off duty., .
STRAWS FOR DROWNING MEN
BY JAMES ORRENWOOD.
This startling exposure of the "life-preserver"
stalndle naturally suggests the question: Are the
cork-jackets, the tmoys and the other so-called
life-preservers, now provided for passengers on
our own ships and steamboats, no more to be de
pended upon than these described by Mr. Green
wood ?
At this season of gale and wreck, where
"the stormy winds do blow," in the dreary
night-time, and hearing.them as we hug our
pillowe, we exclaim, "God help poor souls at
sea,"_ permit me to disclose to your readers a
monstrously cruel and heartless cheat system
atically imposed on mariners and those who
make long journeys by sea.
It concerns what in devilish mockery are
"in the trade" known as "life buoys." I may
mention that my attention was directed to
this subject so long ago as last November
twelvemonth, when that memorable
hurricane swept over the Island of St. Thom
as, and the sea in its neighborhood, causing
such appalling devastation amongst the ship
ping thereabouts. It was my duty to des
scribe in your columns the marvellous escape
of a lad named Bailey, a ship boy attached to
H. M. S. Rhone, of whose crew, numbering
nearly one hundred, about a dozen were
saved. Battling for his life in the raging
waters, Bailey was so lucky as to secure a
life-buoy suddenly vacated by a hapless ,
wreck-fellow who, with his body within the
floating ring, was nipped off at the middle by
a shark, causing the poor wretch to fling up
his arms and slip through "like a bolt out of
its socket," as Master Bailey graphically des
cribed it. Clinging to the precious buoy,
Bailey was carried out to sea, and far out
of sight and sound of land. Night came
on, and quite done over with fatigue, he fell
asleep, and so remained until his buoy drifted
ashore, carrying him with it, and he was
awakened by the rasping of his legs against the
shingle. I examined that life-buoy, and saw
Ihe fair imprint of Master Bailey's stubbly
hair on the soddened, yellow-painted canvas,
showing where his sleepy head had rested.
As may be easily understood,' at once con
ceived a high respect for life-buoys, and re
solved, if ever I went to sea,to provide myself
with one, though I had no more money left
than would secure me ti berth in the steerage.
I shouldn't have made much trouble over the
purchase. In all seaport towns and in the
vicinity of the principal docks, there are
dezens of maritime outfitting warehouses,and
all of them sell life-buoys, most of them keep
ing sucu an extensive stock of the article as to
prove unmistakably the popular faith in, and
extensive demand for it. Like any other sus
pieioue person, 1 should have asked for a life
buoy, and seeing that it was properly branded
"warranted cork," paid for it, and carried it
away never doubting it.
How wofully I might have miscalculated
will presently appear.
The opening of my eyes to the true state of
the case is mainly due to a well-known life
belt and buoy maker of Sunderland (Mr. R.
Writing to'me concerning loss of
Dixon).
life at sea, be informed me that he had grave
suspicions of the quality of the life buoys man
ufactured in London, and supplied to the Jew
skip-shops.He informed me that he himself
had met with life-buoys composed of the
basest materials, and sent me some bits of
common rush as a sample of the interior or
one he bad dissected. He further apprised
we of the fact that to such 'an extent, had this
fraud -been perpetrated, that a very large
' number ,of seamen would have
nothing to do with life-buoys, declaring that
they. would rather go down and have done
with it, than hang in the jaws of death for a
few bouts .with the certainty cif drowning
after' all, becoming more apparent' as - the
treacherons supportgradhally soddened,. and
sank 'under' their *eight. ,
It, was scarcely to be credited that so mur
derous a business BB my Sunderland friend
hinted 'at could be commonly pursued, but I
resolved to watch my opportunity for testing
it, and just lately by chance I meta man in
the poor neighborhood of Shadwell, who in
foimed me that he was a belt and buoy
maker.
We bad some.conversation on the subject
of his trade, and then' it came out, not only
that Mr. Dixon's suspicions were well
founded, but that he bad not 'suspected the
worst. IV ith 'ft candor that contrasted
queerly with the villainy his statements be
trayed, the ShidWeli Operati*\ in
formed me' thOO the
are stampe d . "warranted cork
woad," rr
," are no of :the kitifi; "AO one ix(
a doien." "You Couldri t t do it for the
said my informarit,"thejewelhat OnchaS we
work for won't give morothamthree and six
or four shillings each for 'em and
bow much cork , can you afford to
stuff into for that, , ; . I'd' - like
to know?" I asked him what he could afford
to stuff into his buoys at the price, and he
replied: "Cocoa fibre mostly, sometimes
straw, sometimes rushes, same as what the
calkers use; anything almost does, shavings,
it you haven't got anything_ better." He ap
peared to th ink that it did , not matter what
the canvas covers were stuffed: with so long,
as they were well sewn and painted. . I far
ther inquired as where the precious
goods of his manufacture might be bought
and he replied shortly, "Anywhere.' And it
seemed that this was perfectly . ' true.
The neighborhoods of Shadwell, Ratcliff,
and Poplar were visited, and at each place at
a seaman's slop-shop a "good litb-buoy" was
inquired for and bought. One was branded
"warranted corkwood," one "all cork," and
the third simply bore the word "warranted."
They ranged in price from six shillings to
seven-and-sixpence. They were all three
carried home and dissected with the following
results:
No. I ("warranted corkw000d"). when
its flimsy yellow skin was slit, was dis
covered to consist bodily of straw, sparely
covered with cork shavings, for the satis
faction, it is presumed, of any cautions mar
iner who might teel disposed to risk a slit
in his purchase so as to make sure of its qual
ity before he paid for it.
No. 2 ("warranted") was stuffed with
rushes.
No. 3 ("all cork") cork chips and rushes.
about twenty per cent of the former and
eighty of the latter.
To test the buoyant capability of the three
detected impostors, they were placed in
water, a. Weight of ten pounds being attached
to each.
This was the result :
"Warranted corkwood :" Sank in an hour.
"Warranted :" Stood the test for nearly
two hours and then succumbed.
"All cork," floated for four , hours, and then'
sank from view.
Here is a"pretty revelation ! In our inbred
love for the sea and all that pertains to it, in
this more than in any other direction, do our
sympathy and charity extend. 'An appeal lei
funds to float a life - boat on any dangerous
coast is seldiim or never made in vain. We
have hearty despising for all "crimps," and
"long shore" sharks, who prey oothe seaman
and fleece him of his bard earnings, more
than aIL Of all men, none is so utterly ab
honed as the "wrecker," the cold-blooded
villain, who, by means of false lights and
signals, betrays a vessel to a certain destruc
tion for the a sake of such plunder as the shat
tered hulk and the bodies of drowned men
may yield. What, then, must be our opinion
of the man, who, for the sake of an extra
profit of half-a-crown, consigns a fellow
creature to the lingering torture of
death by gradual drowning ? To be sure,
it may often happen that, cast on the face
of the wilderness of water, the possessor of a
life-buoy deserving the name may in the end
be worse off than the man who has no such
hope left him out of the wreck of his ship,
and "goes down, and have done with.it;" bat
who, since this wretched imposture began,
may reckon the instances of desperate hope
all unexpectedly mocked to death, of life lost
that would have been saved, had the promise
that the treacherous buoy held out but proved
true? Nay, how many men, and women
too,—emigrant mothers bearing up their little
children in the fathomless waters,--have been
cheated out of their lives by abandoning the
spar or plank for the more hopeful-looking
ring of stuffed canvas, "warranted solid cork
wood," but which is no more than straw and
rags, and sodden and sinks, dragging the
clingers with it?

At 11 o'clock yesterday the officers of the navy
stationed in and near Washington assembled at
the Navy Department, to the number of about;
sixty, in full uniform, and proceeded in a body,
to the office of Secretary Rorie, where they were
preserited to by Rear Admiral Dahlgren,
Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance. The Secretary
received Oat m in the most cordial manner, and
impressed every one very pleasantly by his affable
demeanor. The presentation ceremonies lasted
but a few militate., and when Secretary Borie had ;
shaken the officers by the band and exchanged a
few general remarks-with most of themLthe en-
tire party, beaded by the Secretary, went in a
body to the Executive Mansion, where they on- •
tered the East Room and waited a few moments
to be t.resented to the President. After a short, ;
time General Grant entered the East Room, ac- I
eezepanied by General Dent, and was introduced i
to the officers by Vice Admiral Porter. They all
shook him cordially by the hand, and warmly
congratulated him upon his accession to
the Chief Magistracy of the nation. Promi
nent among those present were Vice ;
Admiral Porter, Rear Admirals 'Shubrtek,
Smith, Goidaborough, Dahlgren, Poor, Howard
and Powell; Commodores Gilsson, Smith, Boggs,
Jenkins and Sande, Captains Reynolds, Patter
eon, Davenport. Nicholson, Jeffersi Davis, Mor,

Graham of his staff,and Lieutenant-Colonel Hay
wood. While the naval officers were exchanging
salutations in the East Room, the officers off the
army, headed by ex-Secretary Schofield and Gen.
Sherman, entered the White House and were
shown into the East Room. General Sherman
approached the President and grasped his hand
warmly and shook.it vigorously. He then intro
duced the Officers in turn, all of whom were pro
iuse in their congratulations. The' 'Adjutant-
General's' office at the War Department was fully

Brevet Brig.-Gens. Williams, Breek, Vincent, and
others. Besides the above-named officers a - host
of others were presented. ' Darlog the interview

the East Room in plain citizen's black snit, and
was instantly surrounded by an eager crowd of
officers, each of whom graspol his hands and
earnestly congratulated him upon his appoint
ment to the War Office. A large number of per
sona—officers of the army and navy and citizens
not personally known to Secretary Rawlins—
sought and obtained an introduction to him.
After remaining some time in the East Room,
during which the hand-shaking became qiiite
neral among all present, the interview termi
nated.

HAvAxa, March 12.--The .Diario mains the

row for Key West, but will return in a few days.
The Milted States squadron In the Westladies is

residents here characterize it as ridiculous, and

of the country, while they deride the alleged par
simony or Ignorance of the American govern
ment in keeping so small a fleet in Cuban waters
during the present condition of affairs on the
island.
The Garcia to-day publishes an official notifica
tion that the fsmilies of persons to be transported
