We understand that the Admiralty are about to take a lease of Lord Ashburton's mansion and grounds, on the shore of Stokes Bay, which have been recently purchased by the War Department. It is the intention of the Admiralty when the house and !grounds are handed over to them, to fit the mansion up as a college, to which we presume sea-going tenders will be attached. It is situated at the western end of Stokes Bay, immediately oppo site the Palace of Osborne, and the lawn extends to within 50 yards of high water mark. The ap proach to the house is by a handsome drive with Gothic lodges :and entrance gates. A flight of steps lead to the porch, which gives entry to a noble hall, right and left of which are rooms of unusual size and height, admirably adapted for mess and school rooms, lecture-hall, and library. The upper story contains 30 bed rooms, capable of giving accommodation at once to 100 cadets. A large garden, which extends from the back of the house, would be amply suffi cient to supply the establishment all the year round with fruit and vegetables, while a ten-acre field adjacent to the lawn would furnish a capital play ground. Forty acres of land altogether imme diately surround the house. The shingly beach in front of the mansion affords a capital spot for the cadets to haul up and stow their light pulling gigs, while beyond low-water mark the nature of the ground will afford an anchorage where large sailing boats can be moored. The sleeping accommodation being at present limited to 100 boys, would, of course, not be sufficient for a naval college where there is an average of 200 cadets ; but a wing could be added at little expense, and this addition would leave nothing to be desired in the mansion and estate. It would be contiguous to a Government dockyard ; would be sufficiently distant, being two miles from Gosport, from any town to protect the pupils from the temptations thrown in the way of youths in a populous neighbourhood; and would be situate on a dry gravelly soil, with a southerly aspect, and near enough to the beach to have ready access to boats and sea-going tenders. We trust the nego tiation will be closed as speedily as possible for the sake of all concerned. It takes upwards of 200 officers and men on board the Britannia to look after 200 cadets. This could not be the case iu a college, and therefore on this point alone much expense might and would be saved. Again, we can see no reason why a college should not be mainly self-sup porting. By the regulations, each cadet pays, on join ing the Britannia, £l6 for mess expenses, and £lO per quarter afterwards. This, at £56 per annum for each cadet, gives a revenue of £11,200 per annum. Each cadet, however, according to the present rules, receives back a balance at the end of the year, which averages about £l2, and this reduces the actual income to some £B,BOO per annum—a very handsome sum, and one which really ought to go a long way to make the establishment independent of Government assistance. The official trial of the engines and machinery of the screw steam-sloop Royalist took place a few days ago at Plymouth. She was launched last year at Devonport, measures 686 tons, and was prepared for carrying 11 guns, but, in consequence of the recent Admiralty regulations, will not carry so many. The place of those forward will be occu pied by a traversing Armstrong, to fire over either bow. The African, a sister ship, building at Devon port, will have four Armstrongs ; her completion has been delayed by the necessary alterations. Two other sloops of the same class are to be laid down, to carry four Armstrongs only. The engines of the Royalist, a pair 0f.150 horse power collectively, are from the Greenock Foundry, which was represented by Mr. Lemon e. They are horizontal direct acting; cylinders, 38 inches ; stroke, 2 feet ; and can be worked up to about 650 horses. The shaft is 65 feet long, and the propeller, Griffiths's, is of 10 feet diameter, with a pitch of 13 feet. The trial was superintended by Commander Risk, Mr. Steil, of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. Ward, from Keyhavi Steamyard. The Royalist, which is not masted, draws 9 feet 8 inches forward and 12 feet 4 inches aft. The wind was strong from the eastward. Six runs at the measured mile, under full power, pro duced an average speed of a little more than 11 knots ; revolutions per minute, 106 ; pressure, over 201 b, ; vacuum, 26,4 inches. There were no hot bearings, and the trial seemed to give entire satis faction to the Government officers. The undernamed have been nominated to naval cadetships J. Wodehouse, G. B. Long, 11. C.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Pera, Capt. T. Jamieson, arrived at South ampton yesterday, at 7.30 a.m., with the heavy portion of the above-named mails, in charge of Mr. B. Perkins, of the GenEral Post-office. She brought 93 passengers £57,700 in specie, 95 packages of goods for the Exhibition, 912 bales of silk, 83 cases of indigo, 800 sacks of grain, 43 boxes of oranges, and 240 packages of general merchandise. The Pera left Alexandria on the 6th inst., Malta on the 10th, and Gibraltar on the 14th. From Alex andria to Malta she had north-westerly winds and fine weather ; thence to Gibraltar westerly winds and rain ; calms and fine clear weather as far as Cape Finisterre, and the remainder of the passage light easterly winds, fine weather andsmooth water. On the 16th, at 5 30 a.m., the Pera spoke the Indus, with the outward Bombay mails, steering to the southward; on the 17th, the steamship Aurora, steering south; and on the 18th, at 12 30 p.m., the Tagus with the outward Peninsular mails, a little to the northward of Ushant. Her Majesty's ships Firebrand, Pelican, Doris, and Osborne were at Alexandria ; the Marlborough at Malta ; and the Scylla, Procris, anp Redpole at . London, Captain Chads, left Gibraltar on the after noon of the 11th inst., under steam, for Western Islands. The Intrepid left for the eastward at 11 30 a.m. on the 18th. The Amphion also sailed for the east at 9 a.m. on the 10th. The French steam sloop Coligny was at Gibraltar on the 14th. The Titan left for the east on the morning of the 10th. The Swedish corvette Lagerbjelke, Capt. K. L. N. Dag, 16 days from Malta, arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th, and saluted the garrison with 21 guns on her arrival, which was returned from the saluting battery. The American Federal corvette Tuscarora, Cora. Craven ; steam sloop Kearsarge, Com. C. Pickering; and sailing ship Ino were lying in the roadstead of Algeciras. The Confederate steamer Sumter, Capt. Semmes, remained at Gibraltar. The Kearsarge ar rived at Gibraltar from America, Madeira, and Cadiz on the afternoon of the Bth, and went across to Algeciras the same afternoon. The Ino had taken the two American gentlemen seized at Tangiers to Cadiz, si here they were transferred to the A merican merchant ship Harvest Home, which sailed almost immediately afterwards for Boston, and the Ino re turned to Algeciras. It was said that the prisoners were kept in irons. Referring to the brief conver sation which took place in the House of Commons on the 3d inst., on this question, the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 11th says : " With respect to the allegation that no pressure had been put upon the Moorish Government to affect the arrest, and that by the law of Morocco the representative of a Christian Power has juris diction over the subjects of his own Government, the true state of the facts appears to be thi4 :—By the law of Morocco the Sultan has absolute and delegating it of those despotic power in his dominions ; by special con ventions he has waived the exercise of this power to over th e the subjects osor Consular fC o h n r s i u s l t a ianStates, r representatives States. These conventions, however, code the juris diction over Christians residing in Morocco for of fences committed in the country, and have never been understood either by Morocco or Christian States to confer upon the latter the right to pursue and capture upon Moorish territory political offen ders. Such offenders have heretofore found as secure an asylum in Morocco as in any independent State of Europe. They have usually been men of liberal opinions flying from the persecution of an absolute Government ; and it will be singular if this refuge should now be destroyed by the agent of a Govern tment boasting itself the freest in the world. Who ever will turn to the last British Treaty with Mo rocco, that of 1857, will find that while Article 11 gives the right to British Consuls to call for the as sistance of Moorish soldiers to arrest or transport British subjects, Article 15 specifies the only case in which such subjects are to be conveyed out of the country and placed on board ship—namoly, when sailors attempt to desert their vessel --a very neces sary provision to prevent British shipping being disabled in Moorish ports for want of hands. Eng land does not even sAipulate for the surrender of deserters, but there, is a reciprocal engagement that deserters frote,.‘ the service of one State shall not be received %Tito that of the other. We may fairly as , that the conve ntions made with Morocco by other Christian States are substantially the same as equal " • that of Englan d, and that privileges and ad vantages are po ssessed by all. This being so, it is evident that no pressure would be qa re ired to be put on the Moorish authorities to effect the arrest of any foreign Ch r i s ti an , see i ng that, under the article we have quoted, it does not appear that those authorities ht.ve the right to enter upon the ques tion of the Consul's competency to arrest, before granting him the assistance of the armed force. The course actually pursued by the Moorish Mi nister therefore appears to have been the right one. The assistance of Moorish soldiers was given upon the Consul's requisition, but when, upon investiga tion, it was found that he had exceeded his juris diction, the Minister demanded the release of the prisoners, and only permitted their embarkation on board an American ship of war after the Consul had threatened to strike his flag and leave the country in case of refusal. Then the Moorish Minister yielded, fearing the responsibility of in volving the Sultan in another war. The whole affair is but another version of the old story—the might of the strong overriding the right of the weak. Morocco is an independent State, becoming every year, from the importance of its productions, more closely connected with the European system. Chris tian powers by their treaties recognise it as a Sove reign State, and it therefore possesses all the rights of one. The right involved in the present question is very clearly defined by the writers on interna tional law ; by none more clearly than the American authority, Wheaton, who says : " No Sovereign State is bound, unless by special compact, to deliver up persons, whether its own subjects or foreigners, charged with, or convicted of crimes in another country, upon the demand of a foreign State, or its officers of justice.' " The Sultan has chosen by compact to cede cer tain of his sovereign rights, in order that Christians residing in his dominions may enjoy the milder laws of their own country and not be subject to the rough and summary processes of Mahommedan justice. This surely should obtain for him greater respect for the sovereign rights he retains. On this ground we believe that the United States' Govern ment will disapprove the act of their Consul. It is clear, besides, that this is a question which concerns not only the United States and Morocco, but all the Christian States who have treaties with the latter. Under the favoured nation clause, all enjoy the same rights, immunities, and privileges. The United States cannot, therefore, push her jurisdiction in Morocco beyond the limits of the others. But since the seizure of political offenders in the territory of the Sultan, against his will, would be a manifest violation of his sovereign rights, it is not to be sup posed that the statesmen who guide European Governments will commit the flagrant political immorality of extorting the Sultan's consent to such seizures, merely because he is weak and unable to resist. Will the United States, then, claim a jurisdiction which other Governments are prevented by their sense of justice from asserting? We have no right to think so, and it seems more probable that the act of the United States' agent at Tangier will not be ratified by his Government. Advices from Teneriffe to the 26th of February, received at Gibraltar, state that a French squadron, composed of two ships of the line and four frigates, having on board 2,000 infantry and 400 cavalry, had put into that port and left for Vera Cruz. The Peninsular and Oriental steamship Ceylon, Captain R. W. Evans, with the outward Calcutta and China mails from Southampton, arrived at Gib raltar on the 14th, and went on to Malta and Alex andria. The screw steamer Pactolus, which was disabled some time ago in the collision with the French screw ship of the line Fontenoy, in the Straits of Gibraltar, left Gibraltar for Liverpool on the after noon of the 13th, in tow of the screw steamer Vene tian, which was to cast her off when at a consider able distance beyond Cape Spartel, and the Pactolus to continue her voyage under canvas. The brig Eliza Bowen, which parted cables and ran ashore near the watering jetty, during the gale of the 2d inst., was got off on the afternoon of the 13th. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. At the United Service Institution, on Monday evening, a paper was read by Captain C. Pasley, R.E., " On the War in New Zealand," in which he was engaged and wounded. On the lecture table there was placed a large model of a New Zealand pah, fortified in the usual manner, and a portrait of one of the chiefs who took a prominent part in the late war was exhibited. Captain Pasley com menced by giving a sketch of the history of the colony from the earliest period to the commence. ment of the war, in which he represented the natives in a more favourable light than is usual. About three-fourths of the Maories have been con verted to Christianity, and they are, he said, as good Christians as the average of Englishmen, one half of them having been converted by the mis sionaries of the Church of England and one fourth by the Wesleyans and Roman Catholics. The liturgy has been translated into their lan guage, and they never undertake anything with out a previous prayer meeting, in which the liturgy is used, in the responses of which they gene rallyjoin. They are very particular in their observe ante of Sunday, and one of the advantages gained over them during the war was owing to the pah having been surprised whilst they were attending religious service, for they did not calculate on Christian soldiers attacking them on a Sunday, On their conversion to Christianity they ceased the practice of eating human flesh, and none of the na tives are now cannibals. The superior character of the Maories to other savages was shown on their first communications with Europeans by their pre ference of useful articles, especially of steel imple ments and blankets, to mere ornaments, and they were extremely industrious in manufacturing and procuring articles for barter. So early as 1822 the chief of the northern promontory visited this cowl . try, and took back with him 30 muskets, with which his tribe were enabled to extend their conquests over a large portion of the northern island. This early initiation in the use of fire arms, and the natu rally warlike character of the natives, have been principal causes of the difficulties that have been encountered during the recent war. Captain Pasley gave an account of the origin of the war, in which he vindicated the conduct of the Home Government and of the governors of the colony from the charges that have been made against them, by the local press and by some of the newspapers in this coun try, of ill-treatment of the natives, and of mismanage ment. The immediate cause of the war was the purchase by the Government of a small tract of land about 10 miles north of New Plymouth. The land was sold with the full consent of the tribe to which it belonged, but William King, the chief most hos tile to English rule, objected to the appropriation of any more of the island by the English, and there fore he opposed the sale, though not having any claim to the land itself. It was the maintenance of the right to this purchase that caused the war. Capt. Pasley pointed out the great difficulties which the English troops had to encounter in hostilities with an active, courageous, and enterprising enemy, in a very difficult country, intersected by ravines and covered with bush, and who, by their spies, were fully aware of the positions of the troops, whilst the latter had few means of ascertaining the movements of the enemy ; for those tribes of natives who were in professed alliance with the colonists would not give any information that might prove destructive to the other tribes. As an instance of the difficulty of warfare in such a country, it was stated that the enemy would be completely con ,cealed by ferns that grew six feet high, and from that ambush they could fire on the troops unseen. The reverses on several attacks on the pahs on pre vious occasions had given confidence to the natives, who imagined they were far superior individually to the soldiers, and they were thus emboldened great skil with which the Maories defended their pa , 4nd even made attacks on the English redoubts. They dug rifle-pits in such positions that they could not be driven from them by assault without great loss and it was necessary to proceed, as when attacking regularly fortified places , b y underminin g . The fences of the palls are so constructed that cannon balls make scarcely any impression on them, and on most attempts to take them by assault the troops have been worsted. It was not until General Pratt conducted the war against the natives on a regular system, and with the aid of heavy guns and shells, that a decided advantage had been gained over the natives, who were at last driven from one fortified pah after another, end were, in March last, compelled to sue for peace. One of the objects Capt.Pasley had in view was to disprove ate charges of mismanagement that have been made in the con duct of the war, by showing that, owing to the great skill and courage of the natives, with their superior means of information, and the small number of troops that could be spared from protecting the settlements of the colonists, the difficulties to be overcome were much greater than generally sup posed, and that many of the plans of operation recommended by the local press would, if adopted, have resulted in disaster. In answer to questions,. Captain Pasley stated that he estimated the w hole adult native male population at about 30,000, in cluding all the tribes, many of which are hostile subject e to each other, and that the greatest number at will be March resumed lastyear, by when Captain Pasleyat isa any time acting together against the troops was about 2,000. He considered the war was' com plesued for peace, and laid down their ; ari. The tely ended d in a!• r -,‘ on:the 11th April, as there was not time on Monday night for discussion. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. If Captain Fowkes had not been blessed with a very happy temper, the month of March might have seen him driving headlong to a mad-house. He has put together his great building to the best of his ability ; and as plain wood, iron, glass, and bricks have refused to look like those delightful pictures of the new palace painted by imaginative artists, he has had to stand as a target for a thousand critical arrows. His conception may or may not have been the result of a distempered dream, in which a cathe dral had somehow got mixed up with a railway station ; but one thing is certain—it was built upon a clearly defined plan, and reached its climax of beauty about the middle of February. Although re markably hollow and incomplete at that date, it was just possible to see through it and across it; but since that happy time—that day of joy for the unfortu nate architect—the whole building bas gone rapidly backwards. The most energetic exertions are sup posed to be bent upon its completion by the Ist of May ; a man is killed on one day; a boy is crippled for life on another; a great contractor looks on complacently at the chaos of work, or touts, through his servants, in several languages, for orders for fittings ; clerks of works hurry about with papers, dogged by foremen and labourers groups of workmen stand in convivial groups, and take hourly refreshment from overflowing beer eans ; a dozen men congregate round a hole, or a piece of timber, or balance themselves upon swing ing scaffold poles, and act as if six hundred years were allowed them in which to complete the build ing ; hangers of pictures shut themselves up in the galleries (by strict official orders) and do their work in solitude and silence, as if it were a mystery of Isis; sappers and miners seem to spend half their lives in taking instructions from clerks about canister stoves ; exhibitors look in to learn some thing from observation about their space, and shake their heads when they see the rain dripping through the glass from a thousand crevices ; autho rities, who have more respect for stone statues than for the well-advertised reputation of Messrs. Keik and Lucas, decline to send in heavy works in this order of art until the flooring of the picture gal leries is largely strengthened; clumsy carts come rumbling slowly into the centre of the building with overhanging loads, and the horses shake their s h arn ess as they hear the thunder of the falling ti m ber under the eastern dome. cAerltltnhliys puts may the be ac tive work, and there may be athousand, e bud. or there mayb but u nail structure ttw everyio n t t h ah o a u wt spoal is rnasndek driven wtohrkati position. laid down or raised, every men One h a lf o f the in th in,certainly southern courts —once pleasingly called the " open or glass courts" —is now boarded off for the great French arena, end in another week this great slice of space will be as private as the inside of a booth at a fair. According to the tradition which we believe is popular in Paris, we thought it was the Englishman who was inclined to fly from society; and we never recollect hearing it admitted that the Frenchman was at heart an unamiable recluse. International exhibitions, however, are supposed to teach us many lessons in foreign manners and customs ; and we must not be asto nished at this revelation of French character. The enclosure of the French industrial court is 1 high, complete, and perfect, and it even goes to the length of having a grand private entrance built between two of the columns at the western end of the nave ; but there are other enclosures, which, though smaller, are more hideous. The north-west transept is now filled in along its centre with three or four large square boxes, that look like gigantic packing-cases. These may probably be intended for other foreign courts (we really have not had the heart to hunt out the proper official to inquire), or they may be intended for snug little offices, where large orders may be taken awa y from the cro w d, or i n ternational thimble - r i gg in g may be carried on without the knowledge of the commissioners. b e threatened in different parts, to judge by the ti m ber preparations, and even now the day has Ot h er s tructures of the sam e hideous kind seem to passed when it was possible to get a good perspec tive view of the building. There must be a weighty official reason for allow ing these industrial pens to be erected, and pro bably the public would like to know it. If it is true that the engineers in charge of the building will not allow even a high-art door-mat to be hung from the galleries—if it is true that those tolerably graceful airways are built more for show than for substantial use, then we can have nothing more to say about this unseemly boarding. Vertical space must be had in other places as well as against the outer brick walls ; and if this necessity has not been provided for by the architect and contractors, the oversight only matches that carelessness which for got to make proper doorways to the building. The painting is .not yet finished in the western dome, and therefore the huge scaffolding—a forest' of timber—looking at a distance like fine lace work, is still standing. This wooden web is made of about 40,000 cubic feet of timber, and is really such a wonderful example of human labour and ingenuity that it would not disgrace the commis sioners if it were to stand as part of the e xhibition. The eastern annexe, where about 35,000 square feet of open-air space is to be left, is still in a very backward condition. It was the last extension o f the building decided upon by the commissioners; but that is no reason why little or no exertions should be made to finish it. Labour is plentiful enough at fair mark et rates, and the building is large y e nough, and the w ork scattered enough, to employ a much larger n umber of men than those HOW pat on by the contr actors. No bickering with th e com missioners, no complaints about official delays lead ing to extra cost and uncertainty, will absolve the contractors from their obvious duty to the exhibitors and pub lic. If they regarded the commissioners h more as masters and les s as tenants-at-will, it might more business-like state Pe Th rh of progressaear ri vals lead of to ian the appierßritish alad building. goods have now reached more than a hundred cases ; and many fittings of various d egrees oI 2 beauty and size have been delivered in this department. tt department the deliveries still court' although it is understood that ma arrived at the outports, or are wareNle it i ferent parts of London until the courts' are e. trio mere ready to receive them.

The tithee greatest coverers of space will be France, Prussia, and Austria, and France has got about a third of the whole foreign division. The boarded French Court, which we have just alluded to, is being rapidly filled with fittings for Lyons silks and other specialities, and it is understood that the centre will be devoted to a great trophy formed of the Ville de Par,is table plate. The Americans have at last decided not to exhibit nationally, and what' goods are sent will be individual contributions. In Class 1.--the department for mining, quarry ing, metallurgy, and mineral products, which is under the management of Mr. Rqbert Hunt, F. —we shall have a very large and important collec tion, although the conameicial motive to exhibit is weaker than in any other casns, The transport of the specimens has been costly, and few of the exhi bitors can expect any reward except the thanks for suggested xggi w having contributed to an instructive and interesting collection.

This large and complete collection is to be chiefly placed in the eastern annexe, as a companion to the show of agricultural implements. The court is to be largely fitted up with ornamental marbles. The specimens of gold from Devonshire and Wales will probably be general objects of interest The local subscription to pay for widening the Brompton road seems to have taken a ready-money form, for labourers are now heartily working on this very necessary task. The Boulevard is condemned ; the axe is laid to the root of the rotten trees ; the forecourts are being torn up ; the local tradespeople look hopeful and cheerful, and in about another fortnight or three weeks the thoroughfares will be widened from the Horse Repository io the Museum bend at least one-half.

POLAND. --.41p..----... (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.I WARSAW, MARcu 13,1862. The tranquility which reigns among the people in this city, much to the annoyance of the Govern ment, has been a little disturbed by the announce ment of an act of clemency, published in a supple ment to the official Gazette, Dziennok Powszechily. The occasion for this display of Imperial magnani mity was the anniversary of the accession to the throne of Alexander 11., which fell on the 3d inst., but the celebration of it had been postponed for Sunday, the 9th, in order that a more numerous assembly could be gathered in the Cathedral, where the "Te Ileum" for the Czar was to be sung. Dur ing the whole week prior to the ceremony the authorities circulated reports on the forthcoming amnesty, the raising of the siege, and they issued an order to all the public functionaries to attend at the Cathedral, adding "that the greatest possible importance is attached to this injunction." A cer tain success has crowned this manoeuvre, for many of the officials arrived fully persuaded that at last some mitigation in the actual state of this unheard of tyranny should be proclaimed. But what was their disappointment when the list of the victims whose punishment was partly diminished had been read. They soon dis . covered that the Church was swelled for the sole purpose of showing the Emperor that vast numbers of the population rushed to the Cathedral to hear the Te Deunt sung, and to participate in this so-called joyful event. In fact, out of thousands of persons arrested and transported to Siberia, only 74, according to the official journal, have had their sentences commuted; and even in this small number figure several per sons who had been at large before the list came out. For instance, the Rev. Canon Witman, of the diocese of Warsaw, having undergone his arrest, and been liberated from the fortress on the 7th, was still included in the list as pardoned by his Majesty. Mr. Alexander Wambach, the proprietor of the Hotel of Europe, one of the largest and finest establishments of that kind, was, to his great sur prise, informed, on the Bth inst., that ho had been condemned to one month's imprisonment in the for tress without any previous notice or trial, and that f h o e r m th a e y j p ou er r h n a e p y s . i m it r npl elatiaasoeirdtltdeft, pleasesorhi nnews sentence edz n nee n tct o elte e mle use thatp s n s o nua Russian hhs t amsnni Majestys Generalh m e n astonishment, , tra i i The t enl hesm i S pot s emha u n e ginee c u v ne h ress i ax a teaunt i nti l kt s t tdale t hoheyp h t inmeh h e rhei seh a esn t ti .t extraordinary l amnesty from which favourable impression iwas abroad. o y a d t r . u m o p f e t t e h d e d o i. disposition o e s it 0 n a of the Emperor Alexander 11.
