HORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." Tie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.

He had just as much right to build ships and to open docks and harbours as we had; but he (Sir C. Napier) asked the country to take care that we proceeded in such a way that the ships which Louis Napolconbuilt and the docks he made should not be dangerous to the safety and liberties of Bri tain. (Cheers.) He ,was glad to say that we had been making lately , - •i!rove , meats in our dockyards, and in cutting down old sailing ships which were now useless and convert ing them into screws, which would be useful. Economical members might get up and ask how it was the navy estimates were so much increased, but they were only throwing dust in the eyes of the people, for they knew perfectly well, or ought to know perfectly well, that science had made a total change in all the principles of naval warfare. Steam had now been brought to such a state of perfection that foreign nations were able to equal us, because that navy of ours, which was so mognificent a few years ago, was now worth little or nothing. The whole system must be entirely changed, and, ex pensive as that might be, we must make up our minds to pay for it. This country must not be left in a state of undefence. (Cheers,) He wanted no ex pense. He desired economy in carrying out these measures, but economy was not to be secured by paying off a fleet in 1857 and recommissioning the same fleet in 1858. He trusted that the Government would not allow the navy to fall into a state of ineffi eiency. It was that which had occasioned the loss of money hitherto. France, seeing our slowness, set to work to get a-head of us, and now we were spending money to regain a position which we ought never to have lost. He supposed that most of them had tread Count de Montalembert's pamph let, :Ind they would remember that that distin guished states hninsaid that the danger of kiiis - country did not come from within but from with out. In 1815 all Europe was friendly to us ; but in 1858 we had hardly a friend in Europe. He believed it was impossible that a despotic nation could long be the friend of a free and liberal nation. He had no doubt that the French alliance, it it were sincere, was the greatest blessing that could hap pen to the world, because, if France and England were united, not a shot would be fired in anger in Europe. He repeated that it was not possible'that a despotic nation, and a country which was go verned by a King, Lords, and Commons, could,long march on together. The longer they did so the better ; but it was our duty to look out for a rainy day. We had seen how France had recently treated Portugal, because Portugal in endeavouring to sup press the slave trade lawfully took possession of a French vessel embarking slaves. France made a demand for the restitution of the vessel. She would not even hear a word about arbitration, but said peremptorily, " Give up the vessel, or take the consequence." That was not the part of a great nation towards a weak one ; and if Portugal had resisted we should have been bound by treaties to support her, and the result might have been a war in Europe. In conclusion the gallant admiral stated that he should continue to pursue the same line of conduct which he had followed hitherto, and if it met with their approbation he trusted that he should continue to enjoy their confidence and to receive their support. (Loud cheers.) Mr: LOCKE was also received with loud cheers: It afforded him the greatest satisfaction to meet his constituents face to face, and to have an opportu nity of telling them what he had done. It was not his intention to give up the opinions he honestly entertained in deference to any man, and therefore he should not fear to state them openly and frankly, whether they happened to coincide, or otherwise, with those of the majority whom he bad the honour of addressing. (Cheers.) His hon. and gallant friend had touched upon most of the great questions that had come before the last Parliament ; and he was happy to say that on every important occasion which concerned the wellbeing of the great body of the people he and his gallant friend might have been found in the same division lobby. (Cheers.) With respect to the China question, he thought, after the lapse of two years, that he might congra tulate himself and the electors upon the course which he had taken and which they had approved, in supporting the honour of the British flag. (Cheers.) A glorious peace had now been obtained, and thus had been opened up to us not only a vast field for the extension of our commerce, but one of the greatest and most remarkable means for the spread of Christianity that had ever been afforded to this country. The great exertions of the Go vernment had also restored India to a compara tive state of peace and tranquillity. Everything was going on well when the abominable at tempt was upon the life of the Emperor of the French, which disturbed the ordinary course of events. Neither Lord Palmerston's party nor Lord Derby's party upon that occasion had sup ported the honour of the country ; but it was the people of this great country—the plain common sense and the sterling integrity of the people,which had proclaimed, in unmistakeable accents, "Nolu mus leges Anglim mutare," and more especially at the dictation of a foreign despot. (Cheers.) Hence the English people expressed their opinion against the Conspiracy Bill. He voted against that mea sure, and he also supported Mr. M. Gibson's mo tion ; but how the present Government satisfied their consistency in first voting for the introduction of the Bill, and then supporting Mr. M. Gibson, he left them to explain. Upon Mr. Gibson's motion being carried a change of Government took place, and he was bound to say that he was extremely well satisfied with the proceedings of the present Govern ment. (Cheers.) They supported the motion for abo lishing the property qualification of members, and Mr. Walpole all at once discovered that there never was anything in that qualification. (A laugh.) But Mr. Walpole never had said that before. Of course, he did not attribute motives, because they were all " honourable men ;" but it was certainly odd that a whole Government should be converted just at a time when it suited their own interests that they should do so. In enumerating other measures which he had supported in the house the hon. member in cluded the admission of Jews to Parliament, .the equalisation of poor-rates, the non-exemption from rating of all public establishments, and the appoint ment of a committee upon the gas question. He added that in his opinion every man who had a home should have a vote. That opinion he had ever enter tained, and honestly and fearlessly holding that view, and strenuously supporting the ballot, he trusted that he should continue to merit and to re ceive the confidence of the inhabitants of South. wark. (Cheers.) PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, 5D command a sloop or troop ship, his pay is £3OO a year, the same as if serving as commander of a line of-battle ship, and messing with the lieutenants at no greater expense than thatincurred by the junior members of the mess. Promoted to the rank of captain, he finds on hoisting ;his pendant that he must engage cook, steward, domestics, lay in large stocks of wine, provisions, and other necessaries, and be ready to receive and do honour at all times to foreign ministers, ambassadors, and other per sons of distinction—and all :this upon £450 3s. 4d. per annum, less income tax. Opportunities of making prize money fall to the lot of few. Freight money still more so, it being kept for the sons and favourites of commanders-in chief. Slave bounty only accrues to those serving on one particular station, so that the bulk of the officers in command have only to reckon upon their bare wages. The lieutenant-commander, comman der, or captain will; in most cases, make any pecu• niary sacrifice rather than shield themselves under the plea of inadequate pay from the duty of paying respect to distinguished personages, or entertaining if at a foreign port, the authorities of the place. Men of fortune often spend double and treble the rates of pay allowed them, not for purposes of vanity, but to uphold the credit of the profession. Others, not so blessed, too often rush into the wrong side of their agents' books, and fetter themselves for life. The country ought not to, and does not know ingly demand this sacrifice, and it is to be easily avoided by giving to every officer in command a proper allowance of " table money." All flag offi cers and first-cliss commodores tire allowed whilst their flag is flying in the limits of their station, £3 a day table money. The sum is not too great for proper display, although it is to be feared thit too many of those who enjoy it make a considerable profit out of it. An allowance of £1 a day would enable a captain to do the needful with proper eco nomy ; 15s. would not be too much for a commader, nor 10s. for a lieutenant or master in command of a sloop:or troop ship, with it proportionate sum for gunboat commanders. It would enable each officer to support his position properly without compelling him to trench upon private resources. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK. Last night a public meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark was held. at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, to enable the hon. and gallant and hon. and learned members for the borough to sub mit to their constituent's a statement of their pro ceedings in Parliament during the past session. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. VICKERS, who in a few sentences introduced the members to the meeting, and expressed his own opinion that the great requirements of the day in connection with the Refoim movement were the ballot, a great ex tension of the franchise, and a more equal distri bution of seats. Sir C. NAPIER, who, on presenting himself, was warmly cheered, commenced by observing that when Lord Palmerston determined to support Sir J. B g in vindicating the honour of the British flag in China the House of Commons disapproved his conduct ; but Lord Palmerston, like a bold Minister, dissolved the Parliament and appealed to the country. The result was an overwhelming ma jority sent to Parliament to support Lord Palmer ston's vigorous policy. A large fleet and a large army were sent to China, and, by the great exer tions of generals, admirals, and civilians combined, that large and populous country was humbled, am bassadors were appointed to reside at their Court, the expenses of the war were paid, and an enormous opening was thus given to the trade of this country. Now that the deed was done, and that we had not to pay for it, he supposed they would all agree that Lord Palmerston upon that occasion was perfectly right, while the House of Commons that opposed him was perfectly wrong. (Cheers.) Lord Pal merston finished that war with great spirit and great courage, although, at the same time, he had upon his hands the most horrible rebellion in _ India with which this country had ever been called upon to deal. By dint of great exertions Lord Palmer ston raised an army in this country and sent it to India. He gave the noble lord the greatest credit for raising that army, but he did not give him credit for the way in which he had forwarded the forces. He did Rot send them out in a proper manner ; he did not take sufficient advantage of the Red Sea, or of steam conveyance ; and the troops, in consequence, did not arrive so soon as they ought to have done. He did not blame Lord Palmerston for that. The noble Lord was only one of a very imbecile Ministry, and he was not well supported by the First Lord of the Admiralty, or by many others who ought to have supported him. (Cheers.) Having excused Lord Palmerston for not having, in the busy year of 1857, brought forward a Reform Bill, he observed that three dis tinguished statesmen—Lord J. Russell, Mr. Bright and Lord Derby—were pledged to introduce ;a measure on the subject, and, therefore, he supposed that something would be done in that direction. He was perfectly independent of all parties, and he claimed for himself the right to examine all the propositions, pledging himself to support the best, without caring one straw whence it emanated. (Cheers,) At the commencement of 1858 Lord Palmerston stood in the House of Commons backed by one of the largest majorities that a Minister ever had. He was extremely popular, and all expected that he would have a long and prosperous reign, notwithstanding the shake which he gave to himself by a very unpopular appointment. It was no use mentioning names, but it seemed to him that the Government of the day utterly lost their senses. The majority which they had led them to despise not only their friends but their foes, andthey made , use of such language that the Liberal party in the House of Commons thought it high time to give them a lesson. (Cheers.) After referring to the introduc tion of the Conspiracy Bill by Lord Palmerston's Government, and to Mr. Milner Gibson's motion which resulted in the defeat of the Government, being supported as it was by many of the Liberal party as well as by the Conservatives, he proceeded to describe the attempt which was made at the in stance of Mr. Cardwell to oust the Derby Cabinet soon after its accession to office. For himself, he saw no harm in the reprimand which was addressed by the Earl of Ellenborough to Lord Canning on account of his proclamation confiscating a whole kingdom ; but there was great harm in publishing that reprimand at a time when Lord Canning was endeavouring to repress a mighty rebellion, and when it was necessary that his authority should be respected and maintained. The Earl of .Ellen borough, however, by his retirement from the Cabinet made the amende honorable, and he (the gallant admiral) thought that they ought not to blame the Government for the fault of one of its members, who had acknowledged his error and had retired from office. No sooner had Lord Derby's Government acceded' to powe r than it was dis covered that they were made of very squeezable materials, for they passed the Jew Bill and the re moval of the property qualification of members, and allowed the abolition of church rates to be carried in the House of C ommons, although it was rejected by the House of Lords. In addition to voting for these several measures, he had .supported, among others, the ballot, the motion for abolishing the freedom from arrest of members of Parliament, the motion for preventing lawyers from bri ng i ng for ward questions in which they had a pecuniary in terest, and the proposition for assimilating the county and borough franchises. (Cheers.) When the House of Commons had finished the business of the session a great many of the members went to Cherbourg,and he believed that he had had something to do with advising them to go there. Since then the public had heard Mr. Ayrton speak out, they had heard Mr. Roebuck speak out, they had heard Mr. Baxter in the north also, and also Mr. Coningham at Brighton, all deploring the deficiency of our means of national defence. He had long thought that our means of defence were not sufficient. He had said so for years, and he had stated it at meet ings where the opinion was not popular, owing to the fear of increased taxation, and at last Lord An attempt to get up a noisy discussion followed promoted by a number of boisterous persons, whose object could not be clearly ascertained in the con fusion that prevailed, but which appeared to take the shape of an advocacy of the Charter. Ultimately, on the motion of Dr. Challice, se conded by Mr. H. Smith, a vote of unqualified con fidence in the members was unanimously agreed to. After a few words from Mr. Cox, M.P., which were listened to very impatiently, the customary compliment to the chairman brought to a close the proceedings for which the meeting had been con vened. A letter from Vienna of .the 19th says :—" Mr. Gladstone reached this city yesterday, and to-morrowinorn ing he will continue hit. journey to rieste. The Terrible which is to take him to Corfu, is now lying in the port of Trieste." SERVANTS AND HELPS.—One of those " English muffs, ye kno," came over into "the States" the other day from Canada: He took lodgings at an inn in a bordering village which shall be nameless. He had dinner; and among those who sat at the table with him was the waiting-maid, whom he designated as " servant ;" but he received an indig nant correction from the landlord:—" We call our servants, sir, 'Helps.' They air not oppressed ; they air not Russian scarfs." " All right," said the "bloody Britisher," " I shall remember." And he did ; for in the morning he awoke the whole house by calling out at the top of his voice, which was like the tearing of a strong rag—" Help I help —water 1 water 1" In an instant every person equal to the task rushed into his room with a pail of water. "I am much obliged to you, lam sure," he said, " but I don't want so much water, ye only want enough to shave with I" " Shave with I" said the landlord, " what did yon mean by calling ',Help I water 1 we thought the house was a _fi re ?" " You told me to call the servants Help,' and I did ; did you think I would cry water whan. I meant fire ?" The explanation it should seem was satisfactory.—.lnicri can .Paper.

P., Wright's Dairy, Granby-street, Hampstead-road, THE WEATHER AND 7HE PARES. COMMENCEMENT OF THE SKATING SEASON. During the last two or three days the weather has been intensely cold, in fact ever since the gale of last week the glass has indicated an appearance Of frost. During the night of Monday, Negrctti andZambru's patent thermometer, affixed to the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house, in Hyde park, registered only 20 deg., being 12 deg. below freezing point. At nine o'clock yesterday morning the mercury rose only to 28 deg., and at noon the glass did not exceed 29 deg. The wind was north east. The weather was fine on Monday ; but yes terday (Tuesday) a dense fog overhung the metro polis and suburban districts. The severe frost which has so suddenly set in has had the effect of freezing over the whole of the ornamental waters in the different- Royal parks and many of the canals near London. The barometer at the Royal Humune Society's House on Monday registered 30.17 and yesterday 30.11 Such a sudden change in the weather, coupled with the fact of the immense sheet of water in the Serpentine being covered with ice in such a re markably brief space of time, and several thousand persons having ventured upon the frozen surface, caused Mr. Superintend e nt Williams to adopt the most vigorous 'measures to get the parties off, as the ice, of course, cannot at present be pronounced I to be stabiently strong to bear so' - many thousand persons. Should the same weather continue until Sunday next there is no doubt entertained by Mr. Williams that it will be able to bear as many as may wish to disport themselves upon that river. For the present he has put on duty a number of icemen to warn the people frotn venturing on the ice, but in spite of the precations thus adopted an immense number, probably over three thousand, principally boys, would insist upon crossing the ice or sliding. A number of gentlemen also could not be prevailed upon from enjoying the healthy, but at the present time dangerous, exercise of skating. Up to yesterday morning -none of the Royal Hu mane Society's apparatus had been taken out into the parks, from the simple season that no one was expected to be foolhardy enough to venture at pre sent upon the ice, but Mr. Williams received infor mation that a number of noblemen and gentlemen had commenced skating on the ornamental lakes in the Regent's-park. In order to prevent a loss of life he immediately despatched a number of ice men, and also a temporary canvas receiving -house, made by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, Duke-street, Southwark. This was placed on the bank of the river and fitted up with hot-water baths, beds, &c. A smaller tent, made by the same gentleman, be longing to the skating club, was also erected in Kensington-gardens, for the use of the noblemen and clergy and gentry belonging to the club, and should the present weather continue, a splendidly appointed pavilion will be placed in the gardens, also made by Mr. B. Edgiagton. This will be ex clusively for the accommodation of the members of the Skating Club. At the Royal Round Pond at least 400 persons ventured on the ice, and some very graceful feats were performed by the skaters, such as cutting out serpents, comets, &c., and only one immersion took place during yesterday, and that was of a gentle man named Emblin, residing in Kensington-square. He broke through the frozen surface and became immersed up to the neck, bat was soon got out, and enabled to return to his home. The ice in the dif ferent parks has not been in such a fine condition for many years,ithe surface being as smooth as glass, and if not broken too soon by the populace will afford good sport to those who enjoy the exercise of either skating or sliding. The water in the enclosure in St. James's-park has been partially drawn off, and what remains has been fully frozen over. Yesterday morning hun dreds disported themselves thereon, and although the number of skaters and sliders frequently cansed the ice to break, the depth of water under was in sufficient to drown any one, and the only inconve nience experienced by the more courageous was a good clucking, with the exception of a few bruises and cuts caused by falling on the ice. The Victoria Park had, a greatnumber of skaters and sliders upon the frozen waters during the day, but nothing serious happened. Hyde Park-corner, Grosvenor-place, and the roads leading from Blackfriars, Waterloo, South wark, and London-bridges, were so slippery, owing to the frost, that it was impossible for horses draw ing heavy vehicles to proceed along ; and as the animals kept continually falling, it was found ne cessary to gravel the roads at certain portions of the day. At seven o'clock last evening the state of the glasS indicated a continuation of the present severe weather. had received the silver naval medal for his ser vices.

He was commander of the Sparrow, and officially reported for " zeal and ac tivity" at the reduction of the city of St. Domingo, in 1809 ; and was appointed one of the officers on the out•pensions of Greenwich Hospial on the 25th June, 1842.

Letters have been received at Chatham, which give a sad account of the loss of the ship, which unfor tunately stranded off an uninhabited island some distance from Sydney. The vessel is said to be a total wreck, and that a portion of the crew were saved. The letter also states that Com mander Moresby, from the circumstances of the loss of the ship, has become insane. It appears that a merchant ship on passing obßerved an en campment on the island ; they sent a boat-nut to see who they were, and found them to be a great part of the crew belonging to the Sappho. The men were in a very distressed condition, and five or six had died from starvation, and others from sunstroke ; those who were living said they had been subsisting on wild cats and seeds, which they had found on the island.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequene , es resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery i n Y ou th, degradation in Manhood, and premature, decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every numan being 1 o ... - titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply cure.

The Royal Commissioriers continued their in quiry yesterday at Woolwich. Mr. Turner, M.P., was absent. Mr. Tate, army clothier, of Limerick, presented himself for examination, but he was not examined, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Turner. Mr. Selfe stated that he had received a letter from the hon. gentleman, and he regretted to say that he continued indisposed, and it was doubtful whether he would be present on the 2d Dec., before which the commissioners would not meet again. Mr. Hubbard, the partner of Mr. Wollen, was examined in reference to the allegation made on Friday last by Mr. Samuel Isaac and his brother, which suggested the inference that Mr. Wollen hail his pa given rtganoeorms h ad to an inspect o r a t W ee d on l o h ave a p d a n ss o e t gid.vTen a f The witness arthing declarem ake d that his smooth-at Weedon ; neither i n mone y nor mone y' s worth was` as much given as would purchase a pinchmined, of sn uff.

Gordon having been asked if he thought it would be an advantage to give the principal store keeper the custody of the raw material, as was for merly the case, and allow him to distribute it among the different departments, replied that it would per haps afford an additional check, but beyond that he saw no advantage in reverting to the old system. The Commissioners then adjourned the inquiry till the 2d Dec., when in a ll p robabilit y they will sit at the Tower. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. A preliminary meeting was held in Edinburgh on Saturday afternoon, to consider the propriety of calling a public meeting to pro mote the plan of parliamentary reform proposed by the Parliamentary Reform Committee which recently met in London, the principles of which were adopted. It was agreed to form an Edinburgh Committee, and to call a public meeting, to which it vas determined to invite Mr. Bright. THE ARM E, Orders have been received at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers, Chatham, directin Lieut. George Saekville Berkeley and 30_ no#-commis simied officers and men of the Royal Sappers and Miners to be held in readiness to proceed by the overland route to India. A detachment of non commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engi neers is also , to be held in readiness to embark for the Cape of Good Hope, where they are to be em ployed in surveying operations. An important improvement has recently been in troduced into the system of discharging from the service soldiers who have completed the.time for which they enlisted, which has given great satis faction to all ranks of men in the army. In future the troops who have completed their time will, under certain regulations, be - discharged at the . head-quarters of their respective regiments or depot battalions without being forwarded to the invalid establishinent at Chatham for that purpose. This arrangement is another of the many boons which have been conferred on the soldier by the present Commander-in-Chief, and since it has come into operation a number of old soldiers, who were anxious to return to their native piaces, have been discharged without having to go through the ordeal of a surgeon's inspection at Chatham. Yesterday the•battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry at Chatham commenced their marching exercise during the winter months. The troops, who were in heavy marching . order, preceded by their. band, marched a distance of about ten miles, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. March, and returned to their barracks at 1 o'clock. The 2d battalion of the 15th Foot, in camp at, Aldershott, have received orders to quit those quar ters to-morrow and proceed to Portsmouth to em bark, for conveyance to Malta, in her Majesty's steam troop-ship Urgent, that ship having been reported ready for their reception by the officers appointed to survey her. wirm us TO BE DONE FOB THE NAVY? (From the United Service Gazette.) This week we publish another of the series of important regulations relating to the army. The commissariat, as our readers will observe, has not been neglected. No one can rejoice more over these reforms than ourselves, for we cannot but feel that we have been instrumental, by the publication of editorial articles and letters, in bringing them about. But have we not, at the same time, kept continually before the authorities and the public, the neglected state of the officers of the navy ? This even our worst enemies will concede to us, and if good results have not yet manifested themselves, we may hope that they will not be much longer in abeyance. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to contrast the relative position of the two arms. The services upon which soldiers and sailors are engaged are very different. The naval officer has not, it is true, occasion for field allowances, although it cannot be questioned that his bare pay is inadequate to the support of his position, particularly when in com mand. There is also no staff or garrison pay, for the naval officer, differing from his ordinary sea pay ; in a word, there is so much dissimilitude that a comparison would be a hard, and perhaps invidi ous thing to institute. Taking it for granted, how ever, that the various details of officers' positions in the army have been fairly grappled with and revised, let us see once more what is wanted in the navy Foremost among the improvements to be intro duced into the navy, should be the thorough re vision of the several lists of officers, from flag officers down to assistant paymasters. Reserved, retired, and half-pay lists should be closely exa mined into, and, if possible, resolved into two classes—retired full pay and reserved half pay. All flag officers, whether retired under this or that Order in Council, should be treated alike, and placed on the same rate of half pay (255.), rising in brevet rank to the grade of admiral. The so called active list should, at the same time, be re duced to 47 officers, each of whom should be capable of serving afloat—the rest to be placed on the retired list, enjoying their rates of pay, good service pen sions, Btc., the same as if on the active list. The squadrons red, white, and blue, should be dispensed with. We are not likely to have a fleet of 50 or 60 sail of the line again, and if we had, they Might as easily be divided into three squadrons as subdivided into nine. Let there be two admirals of the fleet, not taken by . senioiority, but selected among the most distinguished flag officers, and one to have his flag (union at the main) flying, and be entitled to a seat at the Board of Admiralty. Ten admirals to wear red at the main, 15 vice-admirals with white at the main, and 20 rear-admirals blue at the main. No admiral except the admiral of the fleet to hoist a flag over 65, nor an admiral of the fleet over 70. The captains' list should be equally well sifted, and reduced to a number not exceeding the probable requirements of the active service, eliminating all over 55. The remainder to be retired with the rank of commodore, upon 18s. a-day, succeeding, as at present, by , seniority, to the retired flag list, and 255., and to rise, if qualified, to higher rates. The active eaptains (if no more acceptable or significant title can be found for those officers indicative of their army rank), should be put into divisions—Ports mouth, Devonport, Pembroke, Chatham, and Coast Guard ; each division or depot bearing a rear admiral. These officers to be employed wherever their services are required, whether in harbour or at sea, at home or abroad. _ _ The commanders' class in the same way should be strictly overhauled, and only those who are young, competent, and active retained, who should be placed on full pay, and attached to the several naval depots. The remainder should be placed on retired pay of 12s. 6d. and 14s. a day, according to seniority. So also with the lieutenants. All the unseaworthy officers should be retired, and all who may think themselves seaworthy, yet are over 40 or 45, with the rank of commander, and Bs. 6d. a day. Before touching upon the collateral branches, which we defer till next week, we should like to point out some of the crying evils attending the executive branch of the navy. That which is felt to be most grievous is the uncertain and erratic course of promotion. So erratic is the course in deed that very few can foretell a year beforehand that he ever will escape from his present rank, and none the exact time at which the event is likely to occur. Promotion is, in fact, so uncertain, as to have earned for the navy the character of being a lottery. And truly so it is. How many officers are now captains and C.B.'s, who a few years ago would have bartered all their prospects for a com mander's copimission ? 'And again, how many who looked forward with confidence to " getting on" in the service have stuck half-way with no chance of going further ? This uncertainty is pregnant with much mis chief. It gives rise to feelings of dissatisfaction, restlessness, and jealousy, and too often induces officers to descend to mean and deceitful acts in order to curry favour with the admiral or the Ad miralty. Better by far would be the system, pur sued in the Marines, of tolerably quick seniority promotion, with brevet for any particular service. Next to the bane of uncertain promotion is the wretched pay of all ranks, especially in command, under that of admiral The lieutenant in com mend has only is. a day more (or 1 ls. a day in all) than the lieutenant of a ship; whereas the former has to support a private establishment, and keep a proper table, while the latter can live for half or a third of the money in a ward-room. If promoted to commander% rank, and appointed to TILE Ni Vl'. The screw steam storeship Supply, 2, Master Commander William H. Balliston, from the Medi terranean, with antiquities and stores, arrived at Plymouth yesterday, and was ordered to proceed to Portsmouth. The Termagant, 25, screw frigate, 310 horse power, was taken nut of Portsmouth harbour yes terday forenoon at• 11.30 by Captain G. T. Gordon and the staff of the steam reserve under his com mand, to try a steering apparatus, the reputed im- proVement of Vice Admiral W. F. Martin, the Senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty. The follow ing officers went in the ship to observe and report upon the application : Mr Tonkin, Assistant Master Attendant of Portsmouth Dockyard; Mr. Aylen, Master of Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert ; Mr. Bower, Master of the Admiralty yacht Isberne ; Mr. Ball, Master of Her Majesty's ship cannibal ; Mr. Abethel, Master Shipwright, and' Moody, Assistant Master Shipwright, of Portsmouth Dockyard. Rear-Admiral George Augustus Eliott, late Captain of the. Ordinary at Portsmouth, Captain Robert Harris, commanding Her Majesty's ship Illustrious, and Mr. Jones, the Queen's pilot, were also on board. After a cruise of upwards of three hours, the Termagant returned to harbour moorings. The improvement consists of a yoke, with a cross lever attached to the head of the rudder, with. other gear ; this does not do away with the wheel now almost universal in all ships, but can be connected with it if needful ; the ship can also be steered on the lower deck by a tiller, as usual in most ships. Admiral Martin's invention is pronounced by the scientific officers who tried it yesterday as a decided improvement both in making the ship answer her helm quickly and in ease of steering, while the danger of throw ing a man over by a sudden jerk of the old short tiller is avoided. The Falcon, 17, screw-sloop, is expected to hoist the pendant at Portsmouth to•day. The brig Childers, 12, Commander William Swinburn, from the West Coast of Africa, which arrived on the 10th inst. at Cork, and sailed there from on the 17th, put into Plymouth Sound on Sunday, and on Monday morning wastaken in tow by the steam-tug Zephyr, for Chatham, but ex perienced such strong easterly winds outside, that she did not get beyond the Bolt Head, and was obliged to put back to the Sound in the evening. The brig was commissioned at Chatham on the 7th of April, 1855, by Commander Hickley, who was promoted on the Ist of April, after having secured the respect and esteem of all the ship's company. Commander) Swinburn was promoted to the brig from the steamvessel Pluto, 4 The Childers has been chiefly employed cruising in the North Division, and has not made any cap ture during her commission. When coming from Cork on Friday evening she passed in the Channel a paddlewheel steam sloop, supposed to be the Virago, which left Plymouth in the afternoon to relieve the homeward bound. Commander Malachi Donellan, and Commander William Henry Brand were yesterday promoted to the reserve half-pay list of captains, vice Captains Walker and Gill, deceased. VieelAdmiral Wilson B. Bigland, K.H., whose death has been announced aslhaving occurred at his residence, 26, Lansdowne-terrace, Leamington, after a few days' illness, in the 71st year of his age, was midshipman of the Theseus at the capture of three French frigates off Cape Francois, in 1803, and served on shore at the attack on Curacoa, in 1804. He was promoted to lieutenant March 5, 1808, and served in the Pompee at the reduction of Mar tinique, and. in the Belleisle in the operations against Flushing, when he acted as aide-de-camp to Sir G. Cockburn. He served in the Implacable at the defence of Cadiz in 1810-11, • and. flag-lieu tenant in the Sceptre and Marlborough ; and served in all the important operations in the Chesapeake and coasts of America, including the capture of Hampton and boarding the Anaconda at Ocracroke. He was promoted to commander June 15, 1814 ; captain, March 6,1821 Iretired rear-admiral, March 8, 1852 ; and was placed on the list of additional retired - vice -admirals, Oct. 2, 1857.
