The shipwrights have commenced preparations at Chatham for docking the line of-battle ship Bombay, 84, in the fourth dock, vacated by the Powerful, 84, in order that she may be converted into a screw-steamer. The Bombay, which is now at Devonport, is to be sent to Chatham for that pur pose. The Plover, 5, screw gunvessel, which is being fitted at Chatham for the first-class steam reserve, has proceeded on a trial trip as far as the Mouse, for the purpose of testing her machinery. During the run the engines were found to work smoothly, with little vibration, the vessel making 101 knots -against a strong-wind. —After the trial thodalover returned to Chatham to complete fitting. The Plover is sister ship to the Torch, also fitting at Chatham for the steam reserve. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Medusa, 4, Commander Wm. Bowden, in commission since the 18th March, 1857, on the West Coast of Africa, yesterday arrived at Woolwich to be stripped and paid off. Immediately after her arrival Mr. Taplin, assistant-inspector of machinery, wont on board, and the Medusa again steamed down the river on a trial of her engines. On her return to her moorings off the dockyard Commander Hawker, in the absence of Commodore the Hon. James Drummond, super intendent of the yard, mustered and inspected the crew. The Medusa is to be paid off on Thursday, the 17th inst. The Pluto, also from the same station, having returned stores at Woolwich, will be paid off on Saturday next. The screw steam gunvessel Cormorant, late from the East Indies and China, yesterday went down to Chatham from Woolwich, in command of Mr. Hall, to be laid up in reserve. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Virago, 6, Com mander Montagu B. Dunn, left Plymouth yester day (Wednesday), having in tow the Bombay, 84, in charge of Commander Paul, for Chatham dock yard, where she will be altered into a screw steam ship. The paddle-wheel steam troop-ship Dee, 4, Mas ter-Commander Thomas C. Pullen, left Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon for Portsmouth. Vice-Ad miral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., Lady Stewart, and family, took passage in her. The hired screw steamvessel Prompt, having shipped a cargo of mixed stores in the Victoria Docks yesterday, went alongside Woolwich Pier, and, bay ing embarked a steam boiler and other gear for Malta Dockyard, sailed for her destination. The sailing ship Inkerman, in the service of the military store department of Woolwich, yesterday landed, together with other stores from Edinburgh, three ancient pieces of cast iron ordnance, which have been removed to give place to guns of a more modern and serviceable description. The three pieces referred to are short carronades, weighing about two tons each, being respectively a 68, 100, and 132-pounder, as stamped on each piece. The 68-pounder simply bears the name • " Andrew Fraser, Esq_," from tho Carron factory, in Latin, while the 100-pounder bears on the vent-piece the following :—" Seu socius, sou hostis ;" and the 132 pounder the following inscrip tion,—" Navigans oceano imperarc, diffiugor. Car ron, 1781." Capt. Twining has during the last few days in spected the entrance to the harbour of King's Lynn, with a view to the erection of a fort for the protection of the port. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Andrew J. Ken nedy, to the Excellent; Lieut. Charles Lyon, to the Diadem; Lieut. Edward I'. Morgan, to the Perseverance; Jonathan Gee, promoted to the rank of Ist class assistant-engineer in the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; and Alfred G. Roberts, assistant clerk, to the Mersey. TILE ARMY. The following important circular memorandum addressed to the Infantry Regiments was issued yesterday : " liorsP Guards, May 1. " The general principles of light infantry move ments as well as the movements of a company or battalion, when acting as light infantry, are laid down in the Field Exercises,' and the right appli cation of these movements in the field may be studied with advantage in various works by authors of much practical experience ; but, in addition to these important points, his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief deems it essential that the attention of commanding officers should be directed to the necessity of constantly exercising the individual intelligence and judgment of the men under their command when acting as light infantry. "The improved range and accuracy of fire of the arms now in general use render it doubly important that every soldier should when skirmishing be pre pared to take such advantage of ground and cover as will enable him, with the least exposure of his own person, to inflict the greatest amount of injury on his opponents. " With this view commanding officers are enjoined to lose no opportunity of .profiting by all suitable ground in the vicinity of their quarters for the in struction of young soldiers in this important part of their duty; and they should bear in mind that the character of a regiment, as to its proficiency in light infantry movements, depends mainly on the indivi dual intelligence, skill, and activity displayed by the men themselves. " It will be found advantageous, where the ground admits, to detach one or more companies, with their supports, to a distance of about 1,000 yards in front. of and facing the battalion drawn up in line, when they will extend and advance in skirmishing order towards the battalion, being occasionally halted, in order that the officers, by examining the back-sight of the rifles, may ascertaiti that they have been ad justed for the proper distances. " The officers of the companies in line will point out to the men of their companies any error that may 1V committed by the skirmishers in their ad. vance, and the advantages to be derived from such cover as the ground may present, from running rapidly from point to point, &c.; the line being in the position of the enemy, the men will soon learn what errors, as regards unnecessary exposure, should be avoided. "Each company, in its turn, should be exercised as skirmishers, and be occasionally relieved, advanc ing and retreating, and the advantage of the new line of skirmishers being completely concealed in the latter movement should be pointed ont. " Officers in command of supports, bearing in mind the improved range and accuracy of firearms, should also be careful in the selection of their ground, as the fire of the enemy's skirmishers is sure to be directed on any exposed solid body. Supports and reserves, if not under cover, should always lie down when halted. " The attention of the skirmishers should be espe cially called to the following points : " Skirmishers, when under fire, must take advan tage of all cover. The men of a file should always work together; both men should never be unloaded at the same time; they should always, when prac ticable, load under cover, before moving to the front when advancing, and after falling back when re tiring. " Young soldiers (particularly when first opening fire) are apt to waste their ammunition ; its value, therefore, cannot be too carefully impressed on their minds, and they should be made to understand that the principal advantage of their rifle—viz., accu racy of fire, is lost if, in moving from spot to spot, they do not consider well the distance they are from the object they are about to fire at, and are not careful to adjust the back-sight accordingly. " The files must be careful not to get in front of each other. When small objects, such as trees on rocks, afford cover for a few files only, the men must not crowd behind them in nuinbers„as they will be safer in the open. Here they shoild load and fire lying, and move rapidly when the advance or re treat renders a change of position necessary, throw ing themselves at once on the ground. " Bugle sounds should be avoided as much as possible ; the men should be practised at ' passing the word,' and made to understand signals. " The men should be taught that good cover may be olJtained from the slightest rise ar fall of ground —more especially when engaged aL long ranges—a slight furrow, a few stones or small bushes, will often afford cover in the absence of trees, rocks, walls, banks, Sze. . " Skirmishers should be taught to judge rapidly for themselves of the nature of the ground on which they are acting, and of the best mode of Occupying it. In defending a line of heights, the edge of a wood, or any ditches, walls, &c., they should follow ••-eit : :"'AlT - igs' . 6ltite - dover, instead of remaining in baking care to leave no considerable gaps, and not to collect in groups. " A line of skirmishers may be exercised with advantage in passing obstacles, such as ponds, farm buildings, &c., ,the men opposite these obstacles doubling , in rear of the files on the right and left ; but running out to their proper places as soon as the obstacles are passed. 'dare quitting one position each file should de- Cit.- 7 - the next they intend to occupy, which they should mAre for in double time; when at close quarters one man of a file should cover the advance or retreat of his comrade while running from point to point, the men protecting 'eft& other in turn while exposed. " The fire of skirmishers may often be better em ployed against the enemy's files on their right and left than against those in their immediate front, who are more likely to be completely covered. " It is impossible for the officers to place each file of their companies ; the men must be made to un derstand that they are responsible for the cover each file may select. " They should keep in sight the files on their right and left, and, when the ground permits, should resume the general line of dressing, and their pro per distance, making use of their own intelligence, without waiting for special directions. " The dressing of a line of skirmishers is a matter of no importance, as long as the connexion between files is kept up. In advancing or retiring those files having cover should remain in their position until those on their right and left have passed them by 15 or 20 paces. In advancing, files should run on to cover, when the general line is within 50 paces of it, holding it as abeve. Jhe fire of one protected skirmisher is of more Vklue than that of five when exposed. " Whenever opportunities offer, commanding offi cers should instruct their men in the mode of mak ing rifle pits, and placing sand bags, sods, &c., on a wall or parapet, to fire through ; also in the duties of covering-parties in sieges, how to keep down the fire of batteries, the advantages of the different modes of firing—kneeling, lying, &c. ; in short, no pains should be spared to make each man a thorough and efficient light infantry soldier. " Another important point to which the General Commanding-in-Chief would take the opportunity of directing the attention of commanding officers both of regiments and brigades is the practice of time march—i.e., they should direct companies or wings, or battalions, to occupy a distant position to whisk several roads lead, some of greater length and easier to march over than others. The heads of these columns should arrive simultaneously in position, and the time of departure be regulated accordingly. " Small 'bodies of troops may accomplish longer marches even over bad roads than deeper columns can accomplish over better roads. Practice will soon enable officers to ascertain those points, and to calculate almost to a certainty the time required under every circumstance. " By command, "J. Y. SCARLETT, Adjutant-General." The 10th regiment at DevOnport are under orders to leave June Ist for Aldershott. Their quarters will, it is said, be occupied by the Fifeshire Militia Artillery, now in Plymouth Citadel, The 55th re- giment, which was at Plymouth 14 years since, is, it is reported, under orders to go there now. A series of experiments was yesterday completed at Chatham, undertaken for the purpose of testing a valuable improvement effected 'in revolving and repeating firearms, by means of which the inven- Or, Sergeant G. Sturrock, attached to the staff of the Royal Engineer establishment at Chatham, has succeeded in doubling the number of shots fired from a revolver, making it, in fact, a revolver of 14 or 16 consecutive shots, without any necessity for reloading. In order to avoid the dela'y, and often hazardous inconvenience, of reloading, it has hitherto been the custom for each repeating pistol or rifle to be provided with a second cylinder, and on the charges of the first cylinder being fired a partial dismounting of the weapon has to be performed to allow of the second loaded cjlinder being substi tuted. In the present invention this inconvenience is obviated by the rifle or revolving pistol being made double-barrelled, and placing two series of chambers, one for each barrel, in the cylinder. Either of the series of chambers is discharged in the ordinary manner, the bullets from each passing through the appropriate barrel. By a simple change of the hamm er , w hi c h i s effected in an i nstant, t h e other series of chambers may then be fired in like manner, the bullets passing through the other bar rel. The chief peculiarity of this invention is that it can be applied to every system of repeating fire arms now in use by officers and others engaged on foreign service; and, although double the number of shots may be fired, not the slightest change or modification of the working machinery of the lock or trigger i t s necessary. To make the same machinery act with an arm giving the power of 14 or 16 consecutive shots only requires an alteration in the number of teeth of the "ratchet." By this invention Sergeant Sturrock has succeeded in pro ducing a Colt, Daw, Adams, or Deane double barrelled revolver, capable of delivering 16 conse cutive shots, without any necessity for reloading, while the pistol or rifle is neither larger nor heavier than those of large bore at present made, and it possesses the advantage of being more powerful and the weight better distributed for insuring ac curacygo. Th e new weapon, although a ed, has but one cy li n d er, one trigger, and one e and hamm er . D ur i ng t h e exper i ments, the dub i l tt invention double-barrelled, loe%llti n has been tested and examined by several of the highest of the military authorities, as well as a number of the most experienced persons engaged in the manufacture of revolvers and rifles, all of whom pronounce it to be an exceedingly valuable weapon, and one which will add consider ably to the efficiency of that description of firearms in the hands of cavalry and other troops. The in vention has been patented. Intelligence has been received at Chatham that the whole of the companies of the Royal Engineers who were quartered in India had left ; the 4th expected at B rompton Barracks; and the Company, having embarked f or E ngland, may shortlybe and 21st Compani es em b arked for the 11th Mauritius, where it is expected they have arrived. The Engineer troop n ow i n India are those only belonging to the India corps. Owing to the com panies at head-quarters, Chatham, having been augmented up to nearly their required strength, orders have been issued for recruiting to be dis continued, and several of the recruiting parties for the Royal Engineers have been directed to join at Brompton Barracks. The Royal Horse Brigade of Artillery, in com mand of Col. Lake, together with a squadron of the 10th Hussars, in command of Lieut.-Col. Parlby, stationed at Woolwich, were yesterday mustered on the review-ground, for the inspection of Major-General Sir Richard nacres, 1i.C.8., Commandant of the Garrison. The General's inspection is stated to be preparatory to a review of the whole of the troops in garrison, which will take place on the 2lth, in celebration of the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday. Capt. Elliot, coast brigade of Royal Artillery, late of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, has been appointed Adjutant to the Regiment of Mid-Lothian Coast Artillery Volunteers, to which he will be gazetted forthwith.

CABINET SECRETS. (From the Times.) To-day we have a little tale for little people The correspondence of Lord John Russell and Earl Grey gives the comforting assurance that Ministers are but men, that Cabinets are not always happy or even well-regulated families, and that eloquent declamation is sometimes treant to hide serious misgiving. There is too much ti uth in the metaphor which makes a stage of Rublic affairs. Here is a peep behind the scenes; or, rather, the actors, throwing off their robes, advance to the foot lights, and disburden themselves of at least a dozen years' "hoarded " grudges. The other day Lord Grey, in his remarks on Reform, vindicated, if not his outward consistency, his settled convictions, by showing that Lord John Russell had forced this question prematurely upon Parliament without the concurrence of his colleagues, and that he had him self never gone along with him. The two state. ments, that it is all Lord John Russell's doing, and that Lord Greg has always been otherwise than hearty in the cause, are so manifest, so notorious, that our readers would pass very lightly over the passage which repeated this trite information. Our reporters evidently, at the close of a long debate, detected no novelty in that portion of Lord Grey's remarks, and condensed them with freedom. Though, happily, they have preserved the order of events, they have not given the intervals as care fully as the delicate nature of the subject required. Thinking it a thrice-told tale, and a revival of id e as distressingly familiar, th e y slurred over a history which the two actors concerned find it necessary to contemplate with the minutest regard to chronology. On Thursday night Mr. Walpole, taking men and things on common report, and having a very correct appreciation of these two noble lords, quoted the passage in Lord Grey's speech as he found it, and quoted it against Lord John Russell, to prove that the demand for Parliamentary Reform had not sprung from the people, but from Lord John him self, and was the result of his own political neces sities. The appeal to Lord Grey's speech was really superfluous. It was only made for the rhetorical purpose of introducing what schoolboys call " autho rity " into the theme. It was something to find a witness to a notorious truth in one of Lord . John's owneolleagues, himself the son of the great statesman under whom Lprd J. Russell worked the Reform Bill of 1831. The quotation was at least ornamental. Mr. Walpole, however, seems to hive forgotten that to evoke Lord Grey was to provoke Lord J. Rtissell, who was only too glad of the opportunity of deny ing the statement with characteristic brevity and simplicity of language. Lord Grey resents the denial, quotes our report, states more fully what he actually said, and asks what Lord J.Russe)l denies. Lord John replies that his denial was on the sup position that Lord Grey had referred to his speech on Mr. Locke King's motion in 1851, when there had been repeated discussions in the Cabinet on the subject of Reform, and when it could not be said that he was taking his colleagues by surprise. As Lord Grey had, in fact, referred to speeches three or four years previous to that date, while Lord John says he has searched in vain for the first in- - dilution of a second Reform Bill, he is happy to withdraw his denial. Here, in our humble opinion, the matter might have rested. But "the beginning of strife is as when one poureth out water," and the course of Lord John Russell's researches led him not only to his own forgotten speeches, but also to Lord Grey's. Unfortunately for the cause of political veracity and Christian charity, two capital hits pre sented-themselves, which Lord John Russell was not the man to pass by. With unwary candour, Lord Grey had referred to his own harassed position at the Colonial-office as his reason for not deserting his colleagues, even with the prospect of a Reform Bill, on their return to power after Lord Derby's failure. This recalled to Lord John's recollection the pleasing circumstance that he had had a good deal of work to do to defend Lord Grey's adminis tration of the colonies, as he does not omit to remind him. Unfortunately, as our readers will agree with us, the consciousness of unrequited service, and pos sibly of a friendship exceeding the limits of true patriotism, carries Lord John Russell a step further. He little thought that while he was labouring to back up Lord Grey, and attend him as his squire in a tour through fifty colonies, Lord Grey " was all the time hoarding up accusations to be used against him 11 or 12 years afterwards, in a place where he could not reply." Of course, this was meant only for a private and privileged communication, but it was a very pungent one. We are bound to say, not only in charity, but in truth, that it is a slip for which even Lord John must be sorry, Lord Grey may well be able to remember that he was against any revival of the Reform agitation, and annoyed at Lord John Russell's putting his foot into it without a word to his colleagues, and yet be guiltless of the ungrateful intentions ascribed to him. The chief feature of the correspondence, however, is one which reflects but little credit on either of these statesmen, and is calculated to throw a new light on political oratory. It is quietly assumed that several speeches, or rather series of speeches, were more or less insincere, and merely made to serve a turn against the inward convictions of the statesmen themselves. Lord John Russell does not tell Lord Grey with how much heart he defended his colonial administration, but he certainly leaves. it to be inferred that he found the task a hard one, and one that might deserve some oblivion of his own offences. More explicitly Lord John Russell refers to the very Conservative character of his own speeehei during the troublous period of 18481851, and evidently feels that a sacrifice to the respecta bility- of political life is not a mere truckling to a morbid sentiment... Lord Grey also makes his con fessions. lie played the part of a reformer ;he re presented Lord John Russell's measure of 1852 as the necessary fulfilment of pledges forced upon his colleagues by the success of independent reformers and the temper of the times. On that occasion he said not a word of Lord John Russell's temerity, or his tendency to spontaneous legislation. It was necessary, he says, to make the best 'of the case. Lord John had done the same for him at the colo nies, and he could not but help Lord John through a Reform Bill, little as he liked it. These are revelations which contrast strangely with the high-stilted - tone of Parliamentary eloquence ? Are they to be entirely believed Perhaps a.middle course_betWeeri the speeches in Parliament and these angry palinodes will hit the truth-. nearest. B( statesmen-maybe doing injustice to their publip, sincerity, _while they.are exaggerating their pri vane claims the one on 'die other. -- But One is tempted to ask how much ef thiS sort of workis - goiz.g on no w , an d w h a t sor t o f revela tions shall We have 11 or 12 years hence. We can easily imagine letters of that date • to " Dear Mr... Gladstone" or "_Dear Lord John," reminding them , „everally of avowed dislike, bat friendly support of the commercial treaty, the budget, .and the_ten penny income tar, of the £G franchise, or of the re peal of the paper duty. It is no secret that on all these questions the Cabinet has been fiercely at variance. Mr.GladstOne and Lo r d J o h n w ill h ave much to say for themselves, they will be able to quote largely from : ..T.lansurd, and will be met by the candid admission that it was all fudge, and that, as these follies had been taken in hand, th-re - was no choice bUt to go through with them. When we give a general su[purt to a z7overnment, but criticise this or that measure; or when we urge the passing of a measure under existing circumstances, .with the confession that we do not- like it, and think it might hav' been_ avoided, the half the world that eat, drin7 sleep, and abuse the Times, set it down to venal illy- istency. Yet it seems better than publiclr measures through thick and thin,. and then reminding their authors ten or twelve years after that sueh dirty work dii= served a better reward. An admission of insince rity comes with neither grace nor use twelve years after the act. (From the Daily News.) No wonder Lord John Russell has thought necessary to publish his correspondence with Lord Grey. No wonder if after the publication of that correspondence Lord Grey thinks it unnecessary to make any statement thereupon in the House of Lords. Lord Grey, as it appears from the monu mental pages of Hansard, was at least a consent ing Reformer in 1852, when Lord Grey was also a Minister of State. The s - tme noble earl is something more than a silent anti-Reformer in 1860. Eight years may have made him a saklder and a wiser man, but _Hansard survives all changes of opinion, whether Ministers or of malcontents, and to that mute perennial witness Lord John Russell, with a painful singleness of purpose, appeals. Some weeks ago Lord Grey was explaining at length to his hereditary brethren the reasons which had induced him to acquiesce in the Reform Bill of 1852, and he then declared that " the original difficulty" from which all reform bills, present and to come, had sprung, wns the gratuitous and unauthorised avowal_ by Lord John Russell, as head of the Cabinet in 1849, that "the time was come when a change might be made in the measure of 1832." According to Lord Grey, the fellow-minister of Lord John at the time, this untoward expression of opinion fell from the lips of the First Minister without the privity or con sent of his colleagues, and with Lord Grey's ex press disapproval. Lord Grey, as Colonial Minis ter, had, it is true, consented, with extreme reluct ance, to remain a member of an administration thus pledged to a policy which he condemned. But why ? Because the Cabinet was "on the eve of falling.' We are honestly anxious to do justice to this characteristic stroke of chivalry. If the days of reform are over for our hereditary Whigs; let us at all events have the satisfaction of showing that the days of chivalry are not dead for them. No ; though Lord John had, with that intrepidity which glories in danger, nailed the colours of Reform to , the mast, Lord Grey, though only a prisoner on parole, and owing nothing but a forced allegiance toiler flag, determined to stick to the sinking ship, and to desert the flag only in the event of living to do so. He acquiescedin the introduCtion of the. bill because he was .persuaded (we use his own words) that it had not the remotest chance of pass ing. He took the pledge because he felt sure it would never be kept. Et voila pourquoi votre fille est nzuette. This is why Earl Grey opened not his mouth against re form in 1852, but actually consented as a Minister to the introduction of a bill by the head of the Cabinet. Not that he was absolutely (lamb. This, of course, the laws of chivalry would not have per mitted. On the contrary, as Lord John Russell reminds him, Lord Grey mode, in his ministerial capacity, a speech on the Address to the CI OWII, in February, 1852, apologising very ably and c)nclu sively for the introduction of the Reform Bill, and denionstrating . exhaustively that its introduction hrd become a sort of moral necessity. In that ad mirable speech Lord Grey was not content with ex pressing freely and distinctly his own complete and unreserved adhesion to the bill, but with prophetic ardour ho cut the gr nod from under the feet of nny renegade or reactionist in days to come who might plead the "apathy" of the people as an excuse for withholding a measure of political justice. Lord Grey's words on this point were valuable when spoken in 1852 ; in 1860 they were quite inestimable. We never have understood the precise meaning of the eulogy so often bestowed by the critics on great dramatic artists of whose performance there is no thing new to say—" he surpassed himself." As suredly no other form of words so exactly expresses the difference between the Lord Grey of 1852 and the Lord Grey of 1860. The progress backwards, if we may be allowed the phrase, is immense. Here is the Lord Grey of eight years ago. At that date, remember, he was a Minister of State ; he is speak ing of a Reform Bill introduced by th e H ea d ofthe Cainet " without any previous concert or commu nication with his colleagues," of a bill which had his own entire disapproval. Mark how he de nounces Lord Russell's rashness, exposes a hasty inconsiderate pledge, and deplores an ill-timed and uncalled-for violation of the settlement of 1832 : "Now, my lords, let me point out the real cir cumstances of the case. Three years ago, if I re member rightly, various motions were made in the other House of Parliament, and obtained that house a considerable degree of support, not only from those who voted for these measures, but in the expression of an opinion by gentlemen of great weight and in fluence, that experience had shown that there were defects in the Reform Act which required further legislation. My noble friend feelin g the force of these remarks and of public opinion, and seeing defects in the arrangement of the Reform Bill which had not answered the expectations of the country, thought it right to express , his opinion that a time might come when it would be proper to make some alteration in the existing laws relating to the franchise. My noble friend expreised that opinion in the strongest manner, and particularly after the noble proofs that were given in 1848, by all classes of the population, of loyal attachment to the Crown and to the exist ing institutions of the country. My noble friend expressed that opinion as far back as 1849, and since that time has had to combat various proposals made in the other House of Parliament for altera tion in the Reform Act. But it was my noble friend's opinion that if in combating these proposals for hasty and inconsiderate alterations in the Re form Act he had not expressed himself in favour of feture improvements, he would have shaken the foundations of that great settlement of our consti tutional rights. My noble friend said, and Ithink he was right, that he was not averse to well con sidered amendments. But it was impossible that he could take this line in combating those proposi tions, which he looked upon as dangerous, without thereby contracting pledges which he considered it his duty to fulfil at a proper time: I ask, can there be a better time for redeeming them than the pre sent ? Is not the very apathy of which the noble earl speaks a sufficient reason for calmly approach ing the subject, and calmly considering what amend ments can be introduced ? Would that apathy have existed if we had pronounced the Reform Bill to be a final measure, and if he had said there were no blots in it which we would attempt to get rid of ? If he had taken that line, would there not have been'a very different disposition on the part of the people of this country with regard to changes in the Reform Act far less temperate than those now about to be proposed ? I think it is a justification of the line which my noble friend has taken, and in which his colleagues joined." . . Considering that this unanswerable justifica tion of a new Reform Bill is eight years old we are bound to give Lord Grey the credit of being a man (at least eight years) before his time, and this, perhaps, even more than Lord John Russell';; pledges, is the "original difficulty" under which— as a posthumous anti-reformer—he rislw labours. Nov what is Lord Grey's latest interpretation of this nescit reverti of eight years ago ? As a confi dential hint to a brother Cabinet Minister it may mean little or nothing; as a lifting of the veil which shrouds the arcana of Cabinets from the vulgar gaze it seems to us to suggest a curious "You know doe .trine of mutual responsibility. - per fectly well," writes the sometime Secretary of State for the Colonies to his former chief, " that it is the duty of a member of Government, when its acts are attacked in Parliament, to state, as well as he can, the reasons by which the Cabinet he belongs to has been guided, eyen though sometimes those That Lord Grey, in his anti-reform spnch of the 19th ult., referred to Lord John Russell's opinio:ts in 1819, not t;) his speech in 1851, in terms imply ing- that the author of the present B.Jorai Bill It:td. p!edged without consulting his colleagues in 18.52, is a small matter after Lord Grey's distinct admis sion that Lord J o h n Russell's speech on Reform in 1851 " was made after repeated discussions. in tl:e Cabinet on the subject." But this illustration of Cabinet Morality would be incomplete without Lord Grey's frank admission, that he and some other members of the Cabinet " held" themselves "quite free for the future, but were content to re• main in the . administration for the present, as there -was no difference between us as to the course to be taken by the • Government." "The course," accord ing to Lord Grey and "some other members," was to endorse the bill on condition that it should be dishonoured when due. SIV.ISS NEUTRALITY. It is now admitted that the principal difference between France and Switzerland on the affair of Savoy is this:—Switzerland 'maintains that the neutralization ,of North Savoy was-e§tabliSied, nab only in the interest of Sardinia, but also for the defence of Swiss neutrality, and especially for the protection of Geneva and the passage of the Sim plon ; while, on the other hand, the French Go vernment insists with much persistence, and espe cially in M. Thouvenel's last note, that the neutra lization was accorded in 1814 and 1815 exclusively in the interest of Sardinia, and that it only i m p oses an obligation on the Swiss Confederation. The Swiss Government has, as you are aware, supported its views by historical documents in its Memoire of last year; and these views are corroborated by official documents of much interest, which M. A dolphe Pic tet (son of M. Pictet Richemont, of Geneva, who negotiated at Vienna when the Congress was sitting on this question) has published in the Journal de Geneve of the sth instant. Now, it would appear that the notes and corres pondence now first given to the world furnish an undeniable proof that the• neutralization was accorded, not only in the interest of Sardinia (which, by the way, the Swiss Government has never denied), but also and especially for the mili tary defence of Swiss neutrality. It is desirable that the French Government should study with some attention these new diplo matic and - historical documents, which show that its argument about this neutralization having been stipulated solely in the interest of Sardinia, and that it does not constitute rights, but merely obli gations for Switzerland, is contrary to fact. It would, perhaps ; enable it to take a different view of the claims of Switzerland ; and it might lead to the satisfactory solution of this question, which is quite as much in the interest of France as in that of Switzerland and of Europe. It will not fail to strike the Conference (if Conference there be) that, if the affair be allowed to remain unresolved,it must perpetuate an unpleasant state of things in juriousto the real interest of both countries. - The 'Swiss Government has just published a new circular to the Powers, with a view to show the strategic importance of the neutralized territory of Savoy, supported by Nenzoires written on divers occasions on this question by the most eminent ex perts of Switzerland, such as General Finsler in 1814, Escher in 181 G, Pictet de Riehernont in 1820, Captain (now General) Dufour in 1824, General Guider in 1831, &e. CIVIL SERVICE ESTIMATES. Among the civil service estimates lately issued class 2 comprises the salaries and expenses of the Public Departments. The amount i s :!-:1,413.503--- almost: precisely the s . ame charge as lost year. First comes the demand fOr the Houses of Parliament,. £87,483, though this does not include the snlaries of the Speaker and S.::rgoant-at-Arms, both of which are placed upon the surer basis of the Con solidated Fund. Next are the Treasury and the departments of the three Secretari es o f State— Home, Foreign, and Colonial, together 170,13 ,the greatest demand being for the Foreign. office ar.d tho Treasury. in consequence of their needing a large and superior class of clerks. A group of offices of somewhat less eminence follows—the Privy Coun cil office, the Board of Trade, Lord Privy Seal, Pay master-General, and the office of the Controller of the Exchequer (himself upon the Consolidated rand), together requiring £99,709, which is a slight increase on last year - 6 vote. There is also a little crease in the staff of the Woods and Forests, which, with the office of Works, requires £57,342. The Civil qervice Commission—quite a modern, but a most im portant department—will Bost £5,976 ,and the Public Records and State Paper-officell9,l9l, both of them about the same as last year; the work of both offices is before the public. As we proceed we come again upon modern offices, for not a few have been created or remodelled since the change in the Government of the country which commenced with the Reform Act, and the new departments are generally distinguished by the laudable practice of making an annual report of their proceedings. The Poor Law Commissioners of the three kingdoms require no less than £222,969 ; the travelling and inciden tal expenses of the inspectors amount to £4,000 in Ireland and £B,OOO in England. The inspectors and sub-inspectors of factories, mines, and collieries have £21,140, but there are no less than 31 of these functionaries"; their allowances for travelling ex penses exceeds £5,000 a-year. The vote for the Copyhold, Tithe, and Enclosure Commissions amounts to £31,950, but nearly half of this appears to return in the shape of " imprest." The general register officers and local registrars will require £45,513, but that port;on of the charge which re lates to Ireland is devoted to a miserable fragment of a register, owing to a religious difficulty. A batch of Irish establishments—the Lord-Lieu _ _ tenant's household, the Chief Secretary and his office, the Paymaster of Civil Services, the Inspec tors of Lunatic Asylums, and the Board of Public Works are -set dow - n for £55,900. Several minor offices follow, together taking £100,279 the Audit-office, Lunacy Commissioners, Public Works Loan Commission, West India Relief Commission, the Mint, South Wales Roads, Friendly Societies Register, and Scottish Exchequer Offices, with which last come items for her Majesty's Limner and Historiographer, and for the Queen's "Plates" to be run for at Edinburgh, and for the Archers and Caledonian Hunt' The secret service vote is £32,000 as before ; but the demand for postage for the public • departments rises this year from £106,750 to the large sum of £128,628. The only other vote is for printing and stationery, £335,285. That eminent authority, Mr, M'Culloch, the con troller, calculates on a saving this year by the re peal of the paper duty of £12,000, or about half the amount of the duty; but on the future price of paper he declines to speculate. This vote, we fear, still covers too much waste. Two years ago a stop was put to a practice in the English register-office of giving away the quarterly reports, and sending them post-free to every applicant, and they are now to be purchased like other books ; but the old sys. tem is still kept up by the Scotch Register.Geue ral. Mr. M'Cullech, the controller, says there is always a strongtendency to increase in theprinting demanded by the departments. Most persons would be puzzled if asked to give any fair reason or jus tification for the publication of many table of mi nute details in the " blue-books" of this session.
