STAMPED, 51). THE NAVAL RESER VE. YARIE7IES. (From the London American.) ing out this most desirable of all benefits for the Navy. The hulks have been truly called the curse of the Navy. Through the barrack system, if carried out with a generous hand, more will be done to popularise the Navy than by any other means ; it will soon prove a better recruiting-agent than the £lO bounty, and I believe it is the only means whereby you will ever make dismissal from the service the most dreaded'punishment that can be inflicted. The barrack system will give the sailor a home near which his family can settle, and -where, by being insured a fixed portion of his service in the Reserve, he will see the certain prospect of a considerable part of his time for pension in his own country. The barrack-home will afford many com forts hitherto unknown to the sailor, and I trust that every man on leave from the fleet may find a night's lodging there if he wishes it. Kindly associations will flow •from this change in his con dition, resulting in discipline• and good order and an esprit de corps which will raise the Navy as a defensive power to that standard which the country demands, and redound more in its after conse quences to the credit of the Bbard of Admiralty who effected this reform than any other measure the Navy has ever experienced.—l remain, &c., Dec. 1. GEO. ELLIOT, Rear-Admiral. The seamen of the North of England have just issued the following important address to their brother mariners, giving their reasons for support ing the Admiralty scheme of forming a naval reserve. It is as follows : " To THE MARINERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. " The seamen of the north-east ports of England (from Hartlepool to Blyth' inclusive), forming a great portion of the Royal Naval Reserve, the majority of which ,belong to the Seamen's United Protection Society, amounting to 1,000 men, con sider it to be their duty at the present juncture to invite our brother seamen's attention to a recent measure, which, if accomplished, appears susceptible of important advantages to the nation generally, and to seamen and their families especially. " Next to manifesting our loyalty to our Queen and respect for her gracious person and our unani mous determination on all occasions to defend the dignity of her throne from injury .or insult by whomsoever it may be assailed, we beg to draw the attention of our brother seamen to the enactment of a law, calculated to insure . ohr willing service on occasions when it has hitherto been the practice to enforce it by impressment. " It is needless to detail the regulations of the Royal Naval Reserve Force, suffice it to say its object is to induce competent and reliable seamen to enter into obligations to serve her Majesty in seasons of imminent danger, by the payment of an annual retainer, and other advantages, including a pension in old age, and thus to substitute voluntary for constrained service on such occasions. Considering this to be a project fraught with important consequences affecting the welfare of our wives and families, we have, since the announcement of the conditions, held repeated consultations, and asked for explanations on certain points, carefully discussed and considered the regu lations in all their bearings, and came to the conclu sion that this is a measure that should be approved and responded to by the seamen of England, as it has already met with the approval of the nation generally. " When the conditions were first announced in these ports they appeared so liberal, and the annual retainer so large for inducing an obligation (which, in all probability, might never be exacted, or, if required, only for a short period), suspicion and mistrust arose; and it was not until satisfactory explanations had been given, and declarations made by responsible Ministers of the Crown that we adopted the scheme with its conditions. These con ditions may probably admit of amendment or quali fication in some respects ; but from frequent inqui ries, we adopted the scheme when duly considered as a whole, and we think it ought to meet with the approval of every seaman. And we further declare that in practice, as regards the enrolment and the drill, there is nothing to complain of but much to commend. " As the realisation of the project must depend upon a response of Volunteers in sufficient numbers tc admit of organisation and classification, so as to place the younger and unmarried members in the first rank for service, and, above all, to avoid the necessity for impressment in future, we strongly recommend our brother seamen to consider the mat ter in the light that we have done, as earnest and thoughtful men, regardful of the welfare of them• selves and families, to appreciate the advantages offered, and enrol themselves as Volunteers under the promulgated conditions; and more particularly we would point out to those who are above 35 years of age, that the conditions are only extended to 40 years of age during the present year. " Should the measure be disregarded, and the project, from neglect, apathy, or slight of the liberal inducements set forth, fail to attract sufficient numbers to enable the Government to dispense with impressment, the seamen of the nation will have themselves to blame, and will meet with no sympathy from the public when that evil befals them, seeing that on occasion of sudden danger their service must be obtained for the defence of the country and protection of our commerce ; no other class of men being competent to perform the duties required.

PROGRESS OF WATER GAS.—This novel burning fluid has been practically applied to lighting the Girard House, Philadelphia, and negotiations are now pending for its introduction into other large American hotels. Over the principal entrance of the Gerard House, jets of this gas form nightly the words" water gas. The agents are now erecting water gas works in Massachusetts, the exhibition of the light at the recent Mechanic Fair in Boston having satisfied people of its superiority. New Jer sey has one set of these gas works in operation, and a company has been organised to establish another in Sackport, New York. Steps have also been taken to extend this light to California. The flame pro duced by this gas is not inferior either in quantity or quality to that produced by coal gas. The prin cipal materials used, in addition to water, are rosin and charcoal, all attempts to burn water alone having signally failed. While not of an inferior quality, economy of production is the great advantage of this gas. The cost of the works for generating a given quantity, the material, and the labour are all much less than required for producing coal gas, and of course the article can be offered to the con sumer at reduced rates. In Philadelphia the saving effected is said to be fully 50 per cent. ; in Boston the New England Company undertake to supply it for a little less than one dollar per thousand feet, the cost of coal double the amount. gas being m ore INVENTORS.--While many an inventor has lived and died in a garret, a fortunate few end their days amid the bounteous fruits of their labour. As there is no class in the o there is no class community to which the world is so much indebted more generous with their wealth. In Ame rica, perhaps, more than in Europe, the inventors are likely to reap a fortune, as the rapid develop ment of the source s of wealth and the scarcity and compar atively high price of manual labour,neacexsy sitate the almost m imediate introduction of really useful labour-saving machine. Thi s i s espe cially true of agricultural implements, and often large fortunes rae realised on simple articles of this d escr iption. A gentleman by the, name of Mr. Peeler, who is said to have realised 400,000 dols. (X 80,00 0) f rom t h e sale of a patent plough, has recently proved the profitableness of his in vention and the goodness of his heart by giving 200,000 dole., or £40,000 of this sum to the Metho dist Church of the United States.

By order of the Court. GEORGE COLLIN, Secretary. East and West India Dock House, Billiter-square, • 30th November, 1860. THE NAVY. The following has been addressed to the editor of the Times;— Sir,—l shall feel obliged if you will allow me to supply some information which I was unable to obtain in, time to insert in my letter which you were good enough to publish in the Times of the 27th ult. In the letter I then referred to, signed " One Who Knows the Service," it is stated, " Every able seaman can earn in the' merchant service from £3 to £3s lOs and £4 a month ; in the Royal Navy he gets a little over £2." I have just obtained a copy of the return made monthly to the Board of Trade—" Wages to all parts for able seamen, £2 10s. That is for October last. A few days since the Registrar of Seamen also computed the averages wages of merchant seamen at £2 lOs ; that is in November. These returns were given before the letter referred to appeared in the Times. I believe that I am within the mark when I state that the average time that a merchant seamen is out of employ yearly in this country is two months; this is lost pay, which must be deducted from the average rate of wages, and which would reduce the £2 lOs in October and November to £2 ss. lam aware that these months are not the periods of the highest rate of wages, but if you deduct for the year round the time that the merchant sailor is out of employ I consider - £2 lfls a very fair average of the able seaman's pay in the merchant service, and this opinion is supported by the report of the Mer chant Shipping Committee of MO. But a further reduction must be made in com paring this average with the pay of the navy, on account of the liabilities of the merchant sailor when shipwrecked, or left behind abroad from in ability to proceed on his voyage. He is then dis charged from his ship, and his pay ceases until he is restored to health and either finds a ship abroad wanting hands or is returned to bis own country. More than that, if he has earned wages when so left behind, they are paid to the consul:, and go to cover the expenses of his subsistence and medical attend ance. Only distressed seamen are. provided for out of the Mercantile Marine Fund, and as long as a man has wages he is not considered a distressed seaman, so that I have known a man left behind on his voyage home from sickness with a consider. able amount of wages due spend it - . all on recovery of health, although perhaps the ills ess was brought on in the service of the ship, such as scurvy from a long voyage on salt provisioni, or 3eheumatism from exposure to wet or a leaky vessel. This last case I always thought very hard, and, as the Act of Parliament makes the owner liable for a seaman's expenses if left behind owing to any hurt or injury received in the service of his ship, I considered scurvy or rheumatism contracted in the service of the ship to come under this provision of the Act, but I was overruled by the Board of Trade. How ever, at all times the pay ceases ; and what becomes of the wife and family then, if the sickness is of long duration ? This feature of the case certainly deducts from the value of the average rate of wages, and in opposi tion to this really grave consideration (for the number of cases of men left behind abroad from inability to proceed on the voyege and from shipwreck is very considerable) I may point out that the man-of-war's-man's pay sand time for pension never ceases, either when. on leave at home or when he falls sick abroad; he is paid until he is landed on his own sh ores and inva lided, and he has at all times the best oppor tunities afforded him of restoration, to health. Another statement made by the - writer referred to is—" The pay of an able seamen who ships for 10 years' continuous service is 9s, a month. Very few, however, do enter for ten years, so that the average of able seamen's wages in the navy is only about £2 2s. a month." The fact is that a large majority of the men are continuous service men. The :Boscawen's crew, lately. granted 42 days' leave (receiving pay all the time), continuous service men, 214, all returned but six, three of whom were ordinaries just joined the service ; non-continuous service men, 34, all came back, as well as 43 boys. The St. George has at present 300 continuous service men, and she is the last commissioned ship. So much for the " very few" stated above. Any really good able seaman can get at once the rating of leading seaman, whose pay is £2 14s. 3d. a month. When you add to this the prospect of increased pay by promotion, which every well-conducted man can easily obtain, and the pension, I think it will appear that the pay is not the question which affects the popularity of the service. Double the pay, and the service would, in my opinion, still present the same appearances to the seaman in many respects ; but there are reforms which I believe will soon be carried out, the advan tages attending which will heap benefits on the sailor, morally and physically, which will produce a powerful impression on him, and conduce more to popularise the Navy than any increase of pay, espe cially if obtained, as proposed by the writer of the letter referred to, at the sacrifice of his pension. Now, sir, I 'must be allowed to say a word in my own defence. I see that because in my letter of the 27th I simply confined myself to a contradiction of the facts contained in the letter therein referred ,o, I have afforded occasion for the accusation that my defence of the Navy was influenced "by the natl• ral leaning of all Admirals (who are not Napiers er Cochranes) to the Board of Admiralty, and that the really wise project of increasing the seaman's pay is supposed by half the readers of the 7inzes to have been thoroughly demolished." So writes the Saturday _Review. With regard to the first accusation, which seems rather ;to imply toadying the Admiralty, I am willing to abide by the opinion of those who know me in the service, and I think the writer would find, if he would only seek the information, that he could hardly have made a worse hit. The second insinuation might produce an impres sion (which I should much regret) that I was opposed to improving the condition of the sailor in the Navy by increase of pay. I beg to deny the justice of any such inference being drawn from anything I have written on this subject. I opposed myself to an increase of pay at the sacrifice of any portion of the pension, and I sought to refute the correctness of the comparison drawn between the pay of the two services. I denied the description drawn of the state of the Navy to be a true one, and I did not agree that the unpopularity of the Navy was owing to the inadequacy of the pay. But I beg to assert that no one would rejoice more than myself over any increased advantage, in pay or otherwise, which the Legislature could be induced to afford to the sailor. No officer has laboured more earnestly than I have for the last 10 years to urge upon each successive Board of Admiralty the necessity of im proving the condition of the sailor by abolishing the hulks and establishing a thoroughly organised system of barrack-homes for the Navy. I wrote a pamphlet in 1856 on this subject, pointing out in the strongest light the misery entailed on the men by the hulk system, and recommending other reforms for their benefit, and I trust I shall always be found in the foremost ranks of those who will push forward the interests of the sailor in a legal manner and with due respect to authority. But I hold him to be the sailor's worst friend who by misrepresen tations and exaggerations leads him to feel dis contented and disaffected towards the service, and to seek by unlawful and violent means to obtain from his country through the Legislature those the impulse of generous sympathy an advantages which will more fre d ely flow from gratitude. The prejudice against barracks has, I am glad to say, at last succumbed , and, although I do not speak from authority , I believe, I may safely state that the present Bard of Admiralty have decided on seeking from the Legislature the rams o carry- V.

In announcing the Opening of this Grand Establishment, Mr. E. T. SMITH ventures to remind the public that he appears in their midst as a favoured caterer for their amuse ment, and bases his claim for a patent of precedency in that respect upon the "GREAT FACT" that, by no ordinary struggles against "quality" prejudices, lie has established the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, as the play-house for the people. Mr. sMITII further challenges the Musical Army to point out one Volunteer who has made more rapid strides towards advancing the taste for Music than himself: He has provided for the million, at the lowest prices of admission, the grandest Operas, English and Italian, illustrated by the most accom p tislied artists ; in a word, he has broken up that inharmoni ous monopoly which shut out high-class compositions not only from the humbler, but from the middle classes of English society. In his present great effort, unmatched in the history of modern times, Mr. SMITH will, he trusts, amply sustain the character it is his ambition to boast. The Alhambra Palace will be no ordinary place of enter tainment ; and, with emphasis, he directs attention to the OPENING NIGHT, MONDAY, Dxc. 10, 1860, And Every Evening at Seven o'clock precisely. The Musical Direction is confided to Mr. James Tully, the popular conductor at the Theatre-Royal, Drury Lane. The name of that gentleman is alone a guarantee for the orchestral department' In the Refreshment Department a prospectus is needless, when it is stated that it will be under the superintendence of Mr. tames Ellis, from Australia, who will be favourably re membered as the original proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea, and of the Adelaide Gallery, Strand. Mr. Ellis may fairly lay claim to having given rise and impetus to all the popular music halls and salons of amusement which now form so conspicuous and leading an element of public appre ciation. Mr. Smith feels it scarcely necessary to add, that he has gone to enormous expense in making the Palace of the Alhambra a giant specimen of good taste and of public com fort. Experience has long since proved that those who solicit the patronage of the public must endeavour to deserve it ; and nothing less than the supply of the very best articles can en title any public caterer to that high distinction. In evidence of his good intentions, Mr. smrni takes the opportunity of publishing the names of the firms in the wholesale trade with whom he is dealing, and thereby makes them responsible, with himself, for the excellence and genuineness of the Wines, Spirits, &c., which are supplied by Messrs. Swaine, Board, and Co. ; and of the Malt Liquors, which are supplied by the celebrated firms of Messrs. hugging and Co., Messrs. Reid and Co., Messrs. Bass and Co., and Messrs. Guinness and Co. A Tariff of Charges is conspicuously placed in every part of the building. It is respectfully requested that any complaint of incivility or inattention on the part of the waiters or assistants be at once communicated to the Manager.

RISCA, WEDNESDAY. There has Nen no change in the state of things at the mine with regard to the recovery of the 55 men who still remain below except that all hope is extinct of any one of them being alive. Tho loss of life therefore may safely be estimated at 135. " Shifts" of men succeed each other every six hourw, but their progress is impeded by the quantity of fire damp with which the mine is still surcharged. Mr. Brough, the Government inspector, descended yesterday, as has been already stated, and came up at 3 o'clock this morning. He was altogether 21 hours underground. His account of the mine is that it still remains in a very bad state. Great _ _ _ __ _ quantities of coal had been falling from the roof and the working parties were obliged to use the utmost precaution. It is known where the men still unrecovered had been -working, and it is in that direction that the operations of the miners have been carried on for the last two days. The inspec tor thought he had - diverted the foul air into a channel - which would enable the men to work more securely, and he spoke with confidence of being able to recover some of the bodies this evening. Indeed he intimated that the effluvia arising from their decomposing gave strong and unmistakable evidence of their being not far distant. There were ,he carcases of about 14 horses also in the mine. Mr, Brough reports highly of the spaces of the galleries, ducts, and passage; of the mine, and of the careful superintendence of the company's offi cers, and especially of that of Harrison, the princi pal viewer, on whom the chief responsibility of course would rest if the calamity occurred from any neglect on the part of the owners. The Black Vein Mine, as already stated, has had a very bad reputation, and it appears that its natural appellation, which is sufficiently ominous, has been converted into a still worse one, for it has also got the name of the " Slaughter Pit" amongst the men. This arises, however,from a cause which is peculiar to the nature of the coal. It is accepted generally as a fact that the steam coal, which is the product of the Black Vein, is much more apt to generate fire damp than other descriptions, and in a damp state of the weather, when the barometer stands low, more than usual caution is required. The atmos phere for some time past has been very damp, and to this circumstance has been attributed the fact hat no fewer than eight explosions have occurred in South Wales mines within the last month. In most mines the ventilation is principally ob tained by means of furnaces, which convey the foul air through up shafts. This is the mainstay of the miner's safety. It appears, however, that in the Black Vein the ventilation is seeured by means of h pimping machinery. The law requires that there should be what is considered sufficient ventilation in every mine, but it leave; the proprietors to em ploy such means as they may deem best calculated to secure this end. A machine, however, is an in- strument which can Only effect a given amount of power. There is a maximum of result beyond which it cannot go. A ventilating machine, therefore, which would be ample to secure ventilation under ordinary conditions might be inadequate to do so when, from any cause, there was greater tendency than usual to generate noxious gases, and that there was such a tendency immediately previous to this dreadful explosion is admitted on all sides. In the present state of affairs it would, of course, be unfair to fix upon the real cause of the disaster; but those who are in the best position to hazard a conjecture incline to the belief that this will be found the real source of the calamity. There is no reason at pre sent for supposing that it originated in any want of precaution on the part of the men. The coroner and jury again assembled at Risca this morning, and proceeded in their task of visit ing the dead bodies. Yesterday they viewed no less than 42, which, considering the state of the weather and the advanced hour at which they began this work, shows that they have been very active in the performance of their painful duty. They expect to complete this portion of their duties to-day, or at farthest early on Thursday; but they will not have concluded even then, for it is certain that by that time some of the bodies now underground will be brought up. From the positive manner in which this information has been afforded one is disposed to conclude that the bodies, some of them, have already been found, and that a natural sense of respect for the feelings of the relatives and of the people generally prevents their being brought out till the evening. Three was the largest num ber of bodies which the jury as yet saw in any one house. In one case it was a father and two sons, in another two brothers and a cousin. A consider able number of the dead were interred to-day. Hearses were brought from Newport for the con veyance of the bodies, but the supply being unfor tunately inadequate to the demand, the coffins were conveyed in many instances on bearing poles. One met the evidences of death in all directions ' and the day being remarkably fine there was a large number of visitors from Newport and other places besides the friends of the deceased. Some, who were inhabitants of the place, were of course buried in the graveyard of the parish, but its dimensions were totally inadequate to meet the glut of dead which this disaster occasioned. Men were, therefore, employed all the morning in the field given by Lord Tredegar in digging graves, of which no less than fifty have been made. It appears that a great many of the miners are strangers to the locality. Some few years ago there was a strike amongst the men, and others were brought from Glamorganshire and else'where to supply their places. The expense of the coffins and the other ',expenses attendant on the burials will be borne by the company. A silent and settled sadness continues to characterise the expres sion of the people generally. The calamity is, of course, the topic of conversation, but still there seems a dislike to dwell upon it, and ,a wish to put it aside, as something too serious for talk. One might at first attribute this to apathy of feeling, but it is rather the effect of that atony of mind which takes place when people are overtaken by a great calamity, when they have to submit to a stern fatalism against which no exertions can avail. Until the meeting of the jury on the lSth, for the purpose of taking evidence to ascertain the cause, if possible, of the explosion, nothing of much importance can transpire; but in the recovery of the dead bodies still underground the people of Risca Vale will have many occasions to renew their sorrow and their tears.

We see no reason;-hew ever, why' this party, whose chosen leader is far more Conservative on the slavery questien than were , the leading members of the old Whig Party, may not acquire the position which that-party abdicated in 1852. The only obstacle is their taint of Pro tection, • which they 'Will be wise' enough to rid themselves of before another Presidential election. In two or three of the Southern States the " Re publican" doctrines are openly advocated. The Baltimore Patriot of the 16th ult.' contains a mani festo from the Republican Maryland electors. They strongly advise firmness and adhesion to the Republican party and principles. They profess to believe that doctrine! founded in' immutable truth, and reiterate all the cardinal points of the Repub lican platform. They entertain no fears of the ultimate safety of the Union, and repose an abiding confidence in Lincoln's wisdom and Conservative patriotism.tiThey pronounce slavery a moral, evil, and oppose the Government legislating it into the territories. PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC TELEGRAPH. Mr. J. H. Wood, director of the Western Union Tele graph Company, was about leaving New York for San Francisco, for the purpose of making . arrauge . ments for building the Californian end o f the Pacific Telegraph line. Two agents have already started across the Plains, by different routes, f or the purpose of surveying them, and of meeting Mr. Wood in San Francisco, when the route which the wires are to take will be finally determined upon. Material for the line has been purchased, and is now being shipped via Cape Horn. Froth - present appearances there is every reason for believing that, when the spring opens, the work on both ends of the route, as well as on the centre, will be vigorously prosecuted.. IMPORTATION OF Arrus..—Tne' scanty wheat harvest of Europe has turned eveilyhody's attention to the importation of the surplus crop of , the United States. We know an abundant supply of bread fotthe people is of the first importance, not only to the political content, but to the material prosperity of Europe. Bread first, 'but apples second, as it has been proved by experiments that 'they are more nutritious than potatoes, and, at the same time, an excellent preserver of health. We throw out a suggestion for the benefit of English importers and American exporters. Apples are extremely plentiful, and of •unusual quality in the United States the present season. At the English prices there is a margin of a large profit to the importer, notwithstanding the great Eastern movement of grain, and consequent high freights. In New England and in New York State, shipping apples of prime quality, are; selling at ls. 6d. per bushel, and such apples are rarely seen in Covent-garden. The difference of price in the American and English market is sufficient to balance the charge ,of steam transportation, and leave a large profit. We advise shippers to investigate this subject. Modern Mayors are not always so cute as those officials of whom we read in the Arabian Nights Entertainments. Mayor Bishop, the worthy guardian of peace in Cincinnati, was recently arrested on suspicion of being a horse-thief. He was following in the henoured foot-steps of Haroun al Raschid, and tryinc , to catch the watchman asleep, got caught himself.
