The new screw steam corvette Barron, laid down in August, 1858, in Woolwich dockyard, and com pleted under the superintendence of Mr. Turner, master shipwright of the yard, was successfully launched on Saturday from the building shed, and was immediately afterwards brought round to the dry dock to be coppered and brought forward for commission. The following are her dimensions : Length between perpendiculars, 225 feet; length of keel for tonnage, 179 ft. Tin. ; extreme width, 40ft. Bin. ; ditto for tonnage, 40ft. 4in. ; ditto moulded, 39ft. Bin. ; depth in hold, 24ft. 2in. ; burthen in tons, 1,623 48-94. Her armament, which• will be furnished from the Royal Arsenal, will consist of one 95 cwt. pivot gun, 10 feet long, and twenty 60 cwt. 8-inch guns, 9 feet long. A new screw steam vessel, the keel of which has been prepared, is to be laid down forthwith on the same slip. On Thursday a survey was held on the defects of the screw steam sloop Mutine, 17, Commander W. Graham, in Plymouth Sound. The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Corn. M. B. Dunn, got up steam in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, and left with supernumeraries and stores for Ireland. On returning she will call at Pembroke, and accompany the Howe, 121, to Plymouth. The screw steam frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. Cock burn, received her new -bowsprit alongside the Devonport dockyard on Saturday, and was then towed to her moorings in Hamoaze. The screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. K. Barnard, having been repaired, will be removed out of Key ham steamyard on Thursday, and placed at her moorings. It is expected that the screw steamship Trafal gar, 90, Capt. E. G. Fansha.we, will leave Plymouth, to-morrow (Tuesday), probably to join the Channel squadron at Lisbon. Her crew were paid wages under the supervision of Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley on Friday, and the starboard watch obtained leave until to-day (Monday). Letters received at Plymouth from the screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, now at Cork, state that the crew is aUicted with smallpox to such an ex tent that the captain cannot obtain permission to leave her, although he has just experienced a severe domestic loss. The Firefly, 4, paddle, Master-Commander S. Kead, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Woolwich on her way to Malta, where she will supply the place of the Tartarus surveying vessel, recently paid off there by Commander A. L. Mansell. The Prussian transport Elbe, Lieut.-Commander R. Werner, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Hamburg, to accompany the Prussian squadron to China. The Elbe is fitted with a screw steam-launch. The Sprightly, paddle, Master-Commander Allen, and the Pigmy, paddle,' Master-Commander John stone, both returned to Portsmouth from the west ward on Saturday. The Dee, paddle, Master-Commander Pullen, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Woolwich with boilers and machinery for the ships fitting out at that port, and some superheating gear for the Royal yachts. The Castor, 36, is being completed at Chatham for the service of the Naval Coast Volunteers, and will be stationed off Greenhithe. She is only to be supplied with a portion of her armament —namely, 18 32. pounders, each 56 cwt. and 9 feet 6 inches long, which will be disposed on her main deck. The screw frigate Galatea, 26, 800-horse power (noviinal), is nearly completed at Chatham for the steam reserve. The quarterly examinations of the candidates for naval cadetships commenced at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, on Wednesday last. Vai ions numbers, ranging from 300 to 900, hired artisans and others, working in Devonport dock yard, are spoken of as likely to be discharged, in consequence of the diminution of the Parliamentary grant this year. The screw steamship Robust, 91, now_ building, will, it is said, remain some time in Plymouth w on Thursday 18 inches below the ordinary frame. The tide receded at ° watermark, so that Devonport a dockyard, the and the screw so me of the gunboats in 1110 am stoaniship Lion , 90, alongside g rounded. Th e hi g hest tide for tie week occurred on Saturday, when it rose over the breakwater in the Sound. The followilig appointments were made Saturday at the Admiralty :—Comm ander... on to the Megmro, commissioned ; H. F. yJeatmuant, midshipman, to the Mersey ; E. C.

The following letter has been addressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mr. Thos. M'Avity, Mayor of tho city of St. John, New Brunswick, in reply to one received from him on the subject of the equalisation of the timber duties : "Downing-street, March 6, 1860. CQ si r ,—l feel some difficulty in replying to your letter of the 3d, which I received yesterday after noon on returning to town. "In that letter you protest,' as well as remon strate, against any change in the duties levied in this country, and paid' by the English people, up . oii wood from the colonies and from foreign countries respectively, until the inhabitants of New Bruns wick shall have had an opportunity of stating their views upon the subject. "Were I to examine your language critically I could not admit your title, even individually, to protest against any legislation which Parliament may think it right to adopt for the equalisation of the duties on foreign and colonial wood. And when you desire to remonstrate ' on behalf of the inhabi tants of a colony,' I must observe that such remon strances ought to be addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who would exercise his flit eretion as to bringing them before the Minister of Finance. " As, however, you are about to quit England without delay, I waive all regard to these consi derations, and I must beg leave to apprise you that I am aware of no circumstance or argument which could have led any person interested in the colonial timber trade, and exercising ordinary pru dence, to reckon on the permanence of a law which charges differential duties upon timber the produce of foreign countries. "At the former periods when those differential duties have been reduced, I am aware of no pledge that has been given that in this particutar case any duty of any kind should be permanently main tained. If no such expectation could be formed from a distinct pledge of the British Government, still less could it be founded on the general policy and legislation of this country. " The legislation has for a long series of years been founded upon the policy of abating, and then destroying, or of destroying at once, differential duties ; it was applied with great stringency to some case of colonial produce, even under peculiar circumstances ; it was applied in the case of wood from British North America with much more cau• tion, and by degrees so slow that the wonder is not that Parliament should now decline, without a dissentient voice, to sanction the continuance of the differential duties, but rather that it should, for so long a time, have permitted them to continue. " You describe this change as destructive of the trade and of the property of the colonists. If so, it can only be so because the differential duty exacts from the people of England, who provide for the military and naval defence of New Brunswick at their own charge, an artificial price for its produce ; and the demand for the permanent maintenance of that artificial price would thus be a demand, in effect, for the permanent payment of a tribute from the mother country, not indeed to the colony at large, but to a portion of its inhabitants " I am not, however, prepared to admit that the change deserves the character which you give it. "..The predictions of ruin which you and some otheis now tender to the Government are not new. They have many times been repeated, and were much more loudly uttered in 1812 than they now are, by much more numerous witnesses, not less informed of the circumstances, and with no t l ess unques tionable good faith. Yet the result has been of a character totally opposite to what was anticipated; and the very statements which are now sent in to deprecate the present change are based upon alle gations of facts with reference to the present state of the colony that themselves bear witness to the fallacy of their sinister prophecies. " To place the colonies in any respect tinder the pressure of legal inequality would be repugnant to every feeling pr the British Government. To give them the benefit of freedom in trade has been their early rad anxious desire ; b u t th ey cannot d ec li ne to make pi upon a proper opportunity) which will at length extend these benefits to others and among them to the people of England. " As this letter, with your own, touches on a of pubi interest, it might perhaps be con matter TEE PAPER DUTY. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the 7'inies:— Sir,—Permit me to make a few remarks upon the letters which appear in the Times of this morning from Messrs. Wrigley and Routledge. Both these gentlemen are paper-makers. I am one of those "London wholesale stationers" who, as Mr. Wrigley observes, might very justly be " alarmed" at the original determination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to refuse drawback upon stocks in hand. I am, also, deeply interested in every question which relates to paper or paper making, inasmuch as I have for many years sought information from every quarter upon the subject, and I am unacquainted with any author who has treated that subject more generally than myself. I mention these things merely with a view of put ting an end to those absurd ideas which prevail re garding the possibility of obtaining readily a sup ply of raw material to compete with rags—aven at their present high price—in the manufacture of paper. From a personal acquaintance with most of the leading manufacturers, I can distinctly state that, although•some new. fibre is being constantly pro posed to them for adoption there is at present no thing whitever known which is capable of being converted into a fair quality of printing paper ; for which, as a matter of , course, there is the greatest demand, and for which the demand, owing to the repeal of the duty, will be mainly increased. As regards thefibre referred to by Mr. Routledge from which he manufactures cartridges and print ings, there can be no doubt that for a variety of uses the paper turned out u,ay be very serviceable; but any person acquainted with that quality which will be more generally known in the paper trade as "260 mill," and which approximates closely to the commonest description of the penny newspapers, will understand that such material for the great bulk of printing paper is utterly useless. I shall say no more upon this point, as I know your space is valuable, and I wish to observe, with referente to the drawbacks upon stocks in the hands of stationers, that Baron Rothschild has received a letter from Mr. Gladstone, in which he declares his intention to insert a clause in the bill about to be discussed relative to the repeal of the paper duty, to the effect that ld. per lb. drawback shall be al lowed to all dealers in paper upon stocks in hand, providing the excise label has not been cancelled, and that upon all paper made after the passing of the act the full allowance shall be made of lid. per lb.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD HERRING, Author of " Paper and Paper Making, Ancient and Modern." 64, Watling-street, March 9. Sir,—As a papermaker, I beg to offer my thanks both to you and Mr. Wrigley for the letter which appeared in your paper this morning. In his view of our hard ease I fully concur, and my object is merely to add to his statement a sup plementary fact or two of which we ought not to lose sight. _ _ _ "The paper duty is doomed, and we rejoice at it, and a satisfactory arrangement has now been made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for allowing the drawback of the duty upon the stocks of paper in hand. We may also regard the free importation of rags and other paper-making materials from France as having been conceded to us, and may hope that until we are allowed free access to them our present import duty of Id. per pound on foreign paper will be maintained. So far so good; but people seem inclined to for get that France is only a portion or that vast tract of Europe from whose rag markets we are excluded, and yet whose paper it is proposed to let in duty free to compete with ours. From Spain, Portugal, and Belgium we can get no rags, and in most of the other countries, seat, for instance, as the German States, where we are allowed to purchase, there is an export duty of from 6s. to 9a. per cwt., and which is equivalent to from ld. to 12d. per lb. in the paper made from them, as 100 lb. of rags will not on an average pro duce more than 701 b. of paper. Under the new arrangement hovi shall we stand with regard to such countries ? As far as we are concerned, an export duty abroad and an import duty at home amount to the same thing, so that German rags coming to England will have to pay 9s. per cwt., while German paper will come in free. The result will, of course, be that the paper will come here, end not the rags. The increased manu facture of paper cannot, however, raise the price of their rags until the whole of what they now export is consumed at home, as it no doubt will be. We are therefore threatened with having the supply of rags we now derive from Prussia and Hamburg, some 7,000 tons per annum, cut off from us, and its place supplied by an equivalent amount of paper manufactured in Germany under an arti ficial advantage of about lid. per pound in the cost, and with which we are to be ealled upon to com pete. And yet Germany will be only one of our competitors ! How is it possible for us to face such competition with the price of our materials kept up by their free export to America ? With our present high price of rags as an induce ment, no substitute for them has been found ; and. Mr. Wrigley has shown, all assertions to the con trary notwithstanding, the moral impossibility of any raw material being found to compete with low priced rags. It is indeed merely a question of price. We could make paper of mahogany dining-tables, but it will not pay to do so. We do make it of straw, but it would be absurd to think of doing so in a country where rags are cheap. The case of the Israelites was nothing to •urs. They were told to make bricks without straw. We are told to make paper with it, and then sell it in competition with foreign paper made from far bet ter an& cheaper materials, and to live upon the loss. Our only remedy is free trade in rags with all other countries as well as with France, and now is the time for our Government to make every exertion to obtain it. Should we fail, this is our position, with some al lowance for our superiority of manufacture. Europe will export paper, but not rags. America will im port rags, but not paper, and, in consequence, Eng land will have to take her paper from Europe and send her rags to America, and then, Sir, what will become of your most obedient servant, March 9. A PAPERMAKER? REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTIES. The bill to repeal the duties of Excise on paper made in the United Kingdom, brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is as follows : Be it enacted by the Queen's -Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lord Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows: — I. From and after August 15, 1860, the duties of Excise now payable upon or in respect of paper of any denomination, and buttonboard, millboard, pasteboard, and scaleboard, made in the United Kingdom, and also all allowances and drawbacks of or in respect of any such duties, shall cease and shall be no longer charged, levied, allowed, or paid respectively; and all acts, clauses, provi sions, and regulations for charging, levying, col lecting, allowing , and paving the said duties, al lowances, and ° drawbacks respectively shall be and the same are repealed, save and except as to all such duties, allowances, and drawbacks, and all fines, penalties, and forfeitures, as have respec tively been charged or incurred, or become payable, o r which, on or before the said 15th Augu s t, 1860, m ay be charged or incurred, or become payable, and then remain in arrear or unrecovered or unpaid ; all which said duties, allowances, ,and drawbacks, fines, penalties, and forfeitures so in arrear or un recovered or unpaid as aforesaid, may be sued .for, recovered, collected, levied, and paid respectively, as if this act had not passed. 11. Provided always, that any stationer, paste board maker, or stock or any paper paper stainer who shall have in h is possession on August 16, 1860, or pasteboard on which the duties of excise have been fully charged, and shall produce the same to the proper officer of excise authorised by the Com missioners of Inland Revenue to take an account thereof, in reams, half reams, or parc els, whole an d unopened, with the wrapper unbroken and the ex cise label thereon uncancelled and unobliterated, shall be entitled to claim and be allowed the whole or such proportion as hereinafter mentioned of the duty charged on such paper and pasteboard respec tively (that is to say), if such paper or paste board shall have been charged . with duty after the day of the passing of this Act, the whole of the duty so charged; and if such paper or pasteboard shall have been charged with duty at any time ou or before the said last men tioned day, then at the rate of ld. for every pound weight avoirdupois of such last-mentioned paper and pasteboard ; and such allowance shall be claimed and be repaid to the party entitled thereto, in the manner directed by and under and subject to the provisions of this act, and such rules and regula tions as the Commissioners of Inland Revenue may make in that behalf. 111. Every person who shall claim to be entitled to any such allowance of duty as aforesaid shall, within two days next after the said 16th of August, 1860, give notice in writing to the Proper officer of excise of the division in which the paper or paste board shall be deposited of his name and place of abode, and the description of business carried on by him, and also the particular house, shop, or ware house in which any paper or pasteboard in respect of which he intends to claim any such allowance shall be kept or deposited, and specifying the weight and other particulars of such paper and pasteboard, distinguishing that whereon the duty shall have been charged after the day of the passing of this act from that whereon the duty was charged on or before the said last-mentioned day, the total weight of each quantity so distinguished, and the amount of the allowance of duty claimed in respect thereof ; and if any person claiming such allowance as aforesaid shall neglect or fail in any respect to comply with the regulations or directions in this act contained or authorised to be made or given, or shall do anything contrary thereto, he shall not have or be entitled to any allowance in respect of any paper or pasteboard in his stock or possession. IV. The proper officer of excise authorised by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue shall, as soon as conveniently may be after such notice given as aforesaid, attend at the place therein mentioned as the place where any such paper or pasteboard is deposited, and shall there examine, weigh, and take an account of such paper and pasteboard, and ascertain and compute the amount of the allowance to which the claimant may be entitled in respect thereof; and such officer shall with all convenient speed give to such claimant a certificate expressing the true qua lity and weight of the paper and pasteboard re spectively in respect of which such claimant shall be entitled to the allowance, distinguishing the quantity on which the duty may have been charged after the day of the passing of this act from that whereon the duty has been charged on or before the said last-mentioned day, and specifying the amount of the allowance in respect of each such quantity, and the aggregate amount of both, and also the name and place of abode of the person en titled thereto, and the description of business car ried on by him. V. On the production of such certificate by such claimant or his agent to the collector of excise of the collection in which the same was granted, and on a solemn declaration being made by such claim ant before a justice of the peace or such collector that the whole quantity of the said paper and pasteboards of the respective kinds mentioned in such certificate was at the time therein specified in his stock or possession, and was the sole property of such claimant or of him and his co-partner in trade (as the case may be), and that the same, or any part thereof hath not been taken account of for the purpose of obtaining the said allowance more than once, and that the said certificate is true to the best of his knowledge and belief, and that no false statement, art, or contrivance was used to deceive the officer taking any account of such paper or pasteboard, or any part thereof, or to render the account or amount thereof expressed in such certificate untrue, the said collector, beingsatisfied of the truth of such declara tion, shall, out of the money in his hands on account of any of the duties of excise, pay to the said claimant or his agent the sum of money specified in such certificate, at the next sitting day which shall be held for the collection or receipt of excise duties next after the expiration of one week from the production of such certificate and the making of such declaration as aforesaid. VI. And if any person shall forge or counterfeit, or cause to be forged or counterfeited, any certifi cate by this act directed to be given, or shall know ingly er willingly give any false or untrue cer tificate, or shall alter or erase or cause to be altered or erased, any such certificate granted by any officer of excise, or shall make use of or in any manner utter any such certificate, knowing the same to be forged, counterfeited, false, untrue, altered, or erased, or if any person shall knowingly or wil fully make any false declaration in relation to any such certificate, or any of the matters therein ex pressed or contained, every person so offending shall for every such offence forfeit the sum of £5OO. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, 59. 11U41 7 GA1 Y. A letter from Pesth, dated March 6, says : " The Emperor Francis Joseph never reads news papers, neither does he care for them ; but his Ministers cannot afford to ignore the opinion of Europe, and are therefore very angry to see that the English, the ,French, and the German press have succeeded ;in getting regular and correct informa tion from Hungary. Baron Thierry, the Minister of Police, is at his wits end to discover the cor respondents, and the means by which they forward their letters; unable to get any hint from his detec tives, he resolved to have the' houses of the persons most likely to be in connection with the foreign press searched, and their private Rapers examined. . Accordingly the day before yestlrday the police suddenly invaded, at six o'clock in the morning, the houses of some twenty persons at Vienna and here at Pesth, and carried off their correspondence and private notes. Among the gentlemen thus surprised and alarmed we find old Count Stephen Szechenyi, the veteran reformer ; his son, Count Bela Szechenyi, whose frequent visits to London have excited suspi cion, and his step-son, Count Zichy ; Mr. Hollan, a distinguished officer of the late Hungarian army and commander of the fortress of Peterwardein in 1849, who has lately published a pamphlet advocat ing the re-establishment of the Hungarian consti tution ; several German literary gentlemen, and even Dr. Gutherz, a Vienna barrister, brother-in law to General Mayerhofer, eommander.in-chief of the Papal army, were exposed to the same treat ment. The search was fruitless, but it has excited the indignation of the people to a fearful degree, since all the gentlemen they alarmed belong to the upper classes of society, and nobody now feels safe in his own house. The correspondent of the Leipzig Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung w:..5 discovered last week, and has been imprisoned. He will be tried for some trumped up charge, since he would be able tojustify and io prove every word of his correspon dence if his printed letters were to be adduced against him. Thus, Julius Sciross Y ' the poet, was tried and sentenced to one Tear's imprisonment, ap parently for having recited some treasonable politi cal poetry, thoughit turned out t o be only on criao liae ; whilst his real offence was, that he had be come intimate with some French prisoners of war, who articles might have written som e in the French papers about the misgovernment of Hungary and the hatred of the nation against their rulers. The poor fellow hs been carried a way in fetters to a for tress in Bohemia, w h ere he will find plenty of fel low sufferers from Venetia .

About one-half of them belong evidently to the educated, well-to do classes; and there are youths amongst them who have scarc el y attained their sixteenth year. The crime is as unknown as their names, since they have neve r been before a judge, and were even, according to the Government papers, imprisoned in order to prevent them from becoming dangerous to the state. I recommend this fact to the pecu liar attention of Lord Nor manby. About dduble the number have been sent to the fortresses of Bohemia, whilst the prisons of Innspruck and of the Tyrolese fortresses have be:n so completely filled with gentlemen (signori) of the Italian Tyrol, that the sentries had to be doubled, for fear lest the prisoners should combine for escape. I take this fact likewise from the official Vienna papers. The land tax has again been considerably raise d this year, and the Government officials have got the order to levy everywhere half a year's taxe.3 in ad vane. Since such a measure cannot be carried otherwise than by military execution, all the superior county officials have got an officer of the army, either on furlough or half-pay, to help them to enforce the decree by military distraint. Th e middle-class agriculturists -1 mean gentlemen who own. between five hundred and five thousand acres, who form the most enlightened and most patriotic portion of the inhabitants —are much alarmed b v this measure, and lookin g to Bo hemia, _ the Aus trian Carinthia-; Styria, and Gal i c ia, w here the policy et. of Governme nt has entirely extinguished the c lass of independent • gentry, leaving propyietors, wb u o t t o w w o n cla fr s o se m s in the province , large 10,000 to 100,000 acres, or even more, and poverty stricken peasants, who live upon 10 to 36 acres— ~~2 - N .

The Protestants seem to be proof against bribes as well as against threats. The German and Slavonic congregations of Pre burg, which were expected to be the first among the greater civic congregations to yield, have, at a recent meeting enthusiastically rejected the notorious decree of Count Thun ; and the Austrian correspondent of the Evangdische Zeitung, from Oedenburg, openly avows that there is no reasonable hope to see the decree accepted in that province. A collision has taken place between the Roman Catholic bishop of Transylvania and the Roman Catholic congregation of Maros Vasarhely, the bishop haring appointed an Austrian priest to be curate. The inhabitants had up to the Concordat enjoyed the right of free election, and refuse now to admit the newly.appointed priest; they have de clared that they would rather turn Calvinist than give up their right of electing their own curate, and bear with a lam at the altar and on the pulpit who has no community of interests and feelingS with them. The Saxons in Transyl v a n i a , w h o , as a rewar d of their attachment to the Imperial house, have been deprived by th e G overnment of their political privileges and Saxon common law, are now among the most bitter enemies of Austria. The unjust and unequal distribution of the ruinous land tax weighs most heavily upon them, and ten years of Austrian administration have destroyed their wealth, and reduced them to poverty. In Croatia, Istria, and Dalmatia the harvest has failed in 1859, and people arc starving now. The suffering is said _ to be heartrending among the peasantry. r" ALTERED SYSTEM OF P &rR CIIA SE. How such a measure (its this will work time only can show. No doubt it will be a great incentive to regimental officers to distinguish themselves by caring for the interior economy and discipline of their corps, with such prizes as regimental com mands in view; prizes which may not, indeed, be always assigned to the worthiest, but which, in these days of publicity, will hardly be assigned by the military authorities to those who have not proved themselves worthy. That the proposed change is a moderate one is probable from the fact that it satisfies neither party ; the aboli tionists rejecting it as not going far enough ; the military party represented by Colonel North—denouncing it as the thin end of a wedge which in time will shiver the purchase sys tem to its core. Be that as it may, it becomes our first duty to caution the officers of the army to look well to its immediate effect, which must un doubtedly be to lower the value of regimental com missions to the regulation prices. A lieutenant or a captain of cavalry, called upon by his brother officers either to pay double the regulation for his next step, or to stand aside and let a wealthier can didate for promotion precede him, has hitherto been told that such has been the established usage of the corps in which he has the honour of holding a commission, and that whenever he retires he will be entitled to receive from his successor . th e hi g h price which he himself has been required to dis burse. He has been reminded, too, that in pur chasing his steps at such an enhanced price he has been purchasing certain and speedier access to the highest ranks and emoluments of the service. But the declaration made by Mr. Herbert on Tuesday night alters completely the position of purchasing officers, and materially narrows the advantages which they arc likely to obtain by thus investing their money. As things now are, a man, having invested, say £9,000, in the purchase of a majority in a cavalry regiment, has done so on the calculation, that this payment would secure for him, at no distant period, the lieutenant-colonelcy of his regiment, and, in due course, the grades of colonel and general, and the usual good things con nected with those ranks. But, as soon as Mr. Herbert's plan has been carried into effect, the purchase of a majority will insure no such advantages; and it will depend entirely on the personal merits of the officer, aided perhaps a little by the interest which he can command, whether he rises rapidly in the service, or whether he remains a major till the end of his days ; and, if he be obviously incompetent, he certainly will never get the command of a regiment, pay what ho will. It is clear, therefore, that the prices above regulation, of which we have lately heard so much, must henceforth be abated ; and that in-coming officers can no longer in fairness be asked to pay money for which no certain return can be offered to them. This may be bad news for those who actually hold commissions for which they have paid these fancy prices ; but the facts are as we have stated them, and this ought to be fairly faced; and young officers, who in future choose with their eyes open to pay the large sums above regulation which have, up to the present time, been asked for and received, can have no reason to com plain if they do not get them again when they retire. However hard Mr. Herbert's measure may bear upon individuals, if it succeeds in abolishing the noxious practice of paying large sums above regulation for promotion, it is impossible but that it should be beneficial to the working officers of the army.—Army and Navy Gazette. _RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.
