meeting was addressed at-some length , by the Vice-ChancelloT , the Mayor , and Dr .

THE WRECK OF THE TAXfcETTR : INQUEST , An incpeat on two of the l > odies drowned at the wreck of the Tayltwr was held at the close of last week . There waai a singular discrepancy in the evidence . The passenger witnesses were unanimous in condemning the crew at iaefljeient , and lubberly ; the tackling as new , sthT , and barely workable ; and they were ss unanimous in praise of the ship . The captain , however , declared he never felt the want of hands ; that they worked very well ; that they were no slower than new crews usually are ; bat he laid all the blame on the ship I , She would not wear , or stay , or pay offi or answer her helm . He . admitted that be had been on the same tackfrorn eleven on Friday to , tbe momeni of the accident . | fc admitted also that he did not know he was so far north-: that be expected tp be , off Wicklow Head instead of Lambay . When ce could not get the ship to wear , she was going Broadside on to the rocks , and he dropped the anchor , tut the cable parting , the last chance was gone . It appears that only two of the foreign seamen did not understand English . The Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deplorable disaster occurred in consequence of highly culpable neglect on the part of the owners , in permitting the vessel to leave port without having tier compasses adjusted , or sufficient trial made if she was under the control of the helm ; that Captain Noble did not take sufficient precaution wlien he found the compasses in error , but acted with coolness and courage after he came in sight of bind .

It is stated by a Ministerial paper that the army will be increased by 11 . 000 men . The Daily News puts forward these reports : — ' * A plan is said to be in contemplation for establishing a Minister of War in this country , who should be charged with , the affairs of Army , Navy , and- Ordnance . " The regiments of the line are to be augmented , to 10 QO men , and the battalions of Guards , mow 640 , are to be augmented to 800 , except that one battalion will be augmented to 1000 . " Major-General Sir James Maxwell Wallace ^ E . H ., is to be colonel of the 17 th Lancers ; and Major-Geueral Thomas Erskine Napier , C . B ., colonel of the lfith Foot . The post of coloael-in-chief of the 60 th Royal Bifles remains vacant . "
' A committee of Engineer officers has reported to the Admiralty on the suitability of the mail-packet steamers for war purposes . The committee especially examined the vessels belonging to the Peninsular and Qnental and the Boyal West India Mail Company . They say , — " Our opuiiom is , that the ships of these companies can never be regarded as efficient substitutes for regular men-of-war ; and that opinion is based on the following considerations : ^ 1 . Their sharp form of bow to promote speed , continued upwards as it is to the height of the port-sills , renders it impossible to point and elevate guns iu the line of ke « l . 2 . Their rake of stern would render it dangerous to tire a gun when derated , more particularly when trained from a fore , ana aft line . 3 . These vessels having been designed entirely for steam
propulsion and passenger accommodation , all other'purposes nave been made subservient to those ends . Wo find , too , that no attention has been paid to the importance that should be attached to the exposure of the engines , boilers , and steam ^ chest to shot , which , though in some degree unavoidable in all paddle-wheel steamers , appears to exist in these vessels to a most dangerous extent . After taking a deliberate view of the whole question submitted to us , we have arrived at the conclusion that the ships referred to , provided they could be spared , would serve the purposes of armed troop , ships , and might occasionally be used , ia the event of war , in our colonies abroad . " We are informed by a correspondent that a number of Russian ships that were at Liverpool have been sold to
British subjects , and taken over , with the officers and crews , to be navigated under the British flag . Information on the subject , we understand , has been forwarded to the Board of Trade . —Shipping Gazette . Letters from Australia state that the heavy 50-gun Russian frigate , Divina , that tilted oub in England , has arrived out on that station . The Calliope , 26 , is the largest British man-of-war on the Australian station , which "with the Fantome , 12 , and a small tender or two , are the only Bhips-o £ -w « r of this nation at all there . Letters from Konigsberg of the 27 th announce the arrival of three members of the reace Society , on their way to St . Petersburg .
