coals or cargo when the ballast is not required. The reservoir, whatever form it may have, must be quite full, to prevent the swashing of the water, and the bulkhead tank has been found difficult to fill and keep tight. The plan suggested by Grantham, of Liverpool, — a distinguished authority on the subject, — is specially adapted for ships carrying coal, where little or no back freight is to be had.

ar intervals the compasscard is tilted, so as to bring the type which happen to be immediately above the paper strip at the time down upon the inked tape, bringing the latter in contact with the paper, and marking upon the latter the letters denoting the course which the vessel is steering at that moment. When iron ships were first introduced, great difficulty was experienced in regard to the disturbance of the compass, owing to the vicinity of large bodies of iron. It was also shown by Grantham in 1842, and Scoresby in 1851, that the direction of the ship's head on the stocks, the effect of riveting in that position, the magnetic direction while fitting, each had an influence in determining the magnetic condition of the vessel. Compasses are sometimes carried on the masts of iron vessels as a means of removing them from the disturbing influence of the iron of the hull. In this position they serve as standards of comparison for the binnacle compass. The amount of deflection

by France; but that, as they had been entered upon without the least concert with him, he thought himself perfectly free from all engagements concerning them. Grantham to Weymouth, 19 Feb., 1778. Ibid., 24 Mar., 1778. After these assertions, which were made so directly and so solemnly that they were believed, he explained thathat they might be willing to restore; and he answered, that while France supported the colonies in rebellion no negotiation could be entered into. Weymouth to Grantham, 20 May, 1778. But, as both Great Britain and Spain were interested in preserving colonial dependency, he invited a closer union between them, and even proposed dependence; and from a well-considered policy refused in any event to concert with other governments the relations of his country to its colonies.

up with the knowledge and at the wish of Vergennes; but everything relating to the conditions of peace was withheld from him to the last. So soon as Shelburne saw a prospect of a general pacification, of which he reserved the direction to himself, Fitzherbert, a diplomatist of not much experience and no great ability, was transferred from Brussels to Paris, to be the channel of communication with Spain, France, and Holland. He brought with him a letter of recommendation to Franklin from Grantham, who expressed his desire to merit Franklin's confidence, and from Townshend, who declared himself the zealous friend to peace upon the fairest and most liberal terms. While the commission and instructions of Oswald were preparing, Shelburne, who best understood American affairs, accepted the ultimatum of Franklin in all its branches; only, to prevent the bickerings of fishermen, and to respect public opinion in England, he refused the privilege of drying fish on the island of Newfoundla

I shall be as pacific in negotiating as I shall be active for war, if war must be continued, he added, on 14. the fourteenth. Rayneval replied: Count de Vergennes will, without ceasing, preach justice and moderation. It is his own code, and it is that of the king. On the fifteenth, they both came up to Lon- 15. don, where, on the sixteenth, Rayneval met Lord 16. Grantham. Nothing could be more decided than his refusal to treat about Gibraltar. On the seventeenth, 17. in bidding farewell to Rayneval, Shelburne said, in the most serious tone and the most courteous manner: have been deeply touched by everything you have said to me about the character of the king of France, his principles of justice and moderation, his love of peace. I wish, not only to re-establish peace between the two nations and the two sovereigns, but to bring them to a cordiality which

The Charleston Courier of Tuesday, has the following items: Our cotton market has been relieved essentially from the embargo which the absence of vessels had for some time imposed, by the opportune arrivals of the last few days. Four vessels have been taken up for Europe, and engagements, we learn, have been made for Havre at 1 ½ and 2 cents for cotton, and $3.50 and $4 for rice; and for Liverpool at 11-16d. for cotton. The steamer Charleston, Captain Grantham, from Georgetown, S. C., reports that the officers attached to one of the batteries near the entrance of Georgetown, saw on Saturday and Sunday last, some distance off shore, what appeared to be a steam ship-of-war. She fired several guns which were distinctly heard.
