The court-martial for the trial of the mutineers of her Majesty's ship Edgar is expected to assemble on board her Majesty's ship Victory in Portsmouth harbour on Monday next. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Captain Henry J. Lacon, was removed on Tuesday after noon from Hamoazo into the lock at Keyham steam yard, Plymouth. The wind was blowing very strongly from the eastward, and an ordinary ob server might have doubted the prudence of making the attempt in such weather. Commander George 13iddlecombe, additional assistant-master attendant, took charge afloat, and hat ing a paddlewheel steam ing on eithei side, advanced cautiously against the wind towards Keyham shortly after two o'clock. On nearing, a powerful warp was, under the in structions of Commander James Brown, master attendant, connected with the ship and a capstan on the south side of the lock, and a smart gang of blue-jackets and marines, having fitted the capstan bars, scon got a strain on her. Other warps were attached from the port bow to capstans on the north side, and, guiding ropes being also fixed to both uarters, she became, when the tugs cast off, completely under control ashore, and the huge mass, handled almost like a toy, was without the slightest grating or collision quietly lodged in the lock, in the charge of assistant.. master shipwright, Mr. Henry Peake, who, with his foreman, Mr. Rowe, was in attendance to re ceive her. After being relieved of some 300 tons of coal, she will be placed in dock for repair, and will be fitted with four new boilers. Nearly a month will elapse before she can leave the yard. The flag of Rear-Admiral of the Blue Geo. Elliott, Capt. of the Channel fleet and second in command, con tinues flying at the mizen of the Royal Albert. The screw steam frigate Melpomene, 50, Capt. J. F. W. Ewart, was prevented on Tuesday by strong easterly gales from leaving Plymouth Sound for Hamoaze. She was appointed to go in yesterday, weather permitting. The paddlewheel steam sloop Firebrand, 6, Com mander J. N. Bruce, left Plymouth on Tuesday evening with two companies of the third brigade of Royal Artillery for the Channel Islands. The gunboats Sheldrake and Biter are appointed to be taken out of No. 2 dock, Keyham, Plymouth, to-day, and the screw steamship Royal George, 102, will be placed in dock the same tide. The Shel drake will be placed in No. 1 dock to-morrow. Mr. Geo. Lumb, gunner, of the Donegal, at Ply mouth, was dismissed from the navy on Taesday by sentence of court-martial held on board the flag ship Impregnable. Measures are being adopted at Devonport to test the soundness of the timbers of the Albion, 90. The funnel of the screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. E. K. Barnard, in Plymouth Sound, was raised on Tuesday, preparatory to her early departure for Bermuda. The sailing ship Indus, 78, Capt. Hall, C. 8., ¶as removed on Tuesday from Devonport dockyard #o the sheer hulk, and had her masts and bowsprit taken out; she was then brought again alongside the dockyard, where her crew will be paid off, pro bably to-day. The screw steam sloop Surprise, 4, Capt. Lord E. Cecil, now stripping in the basin at the Devon port dockyard, and which arrived from the West Coast of Africa on the 12th inst. at Plymouth, sailed thence on the 4th of May, 1857, for China, with a convoy of gunboats, with which she arrived at Hong Kong. She was present on the 28th of December, 1857, at the bombardment of Canton, and touching at Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, was at the Pciho on the 23d of May, 1858. On returning she called again at Ningpo and Hongkong, and went to the Isle of Ling Ting, where she was engaged with and captured 27 pira tical junks. Thence she proceeded to Hongkong, Lltman, :Marra, and Bruni, the chief town of the island of Borneo, where the captain and officers vi,ited the Suhal. On the homeward route she called at Sarawak, Singapore, and Penang, the Mauritius, the Cape of Good Hope, St. Paul de Leando, and Sierra Leone. Mr. Jones, previously senior assistant, succeeded to the duty of chief en gineer on the death of Mr. F. It. Purchase, Oct. 8, 1858. The former master, Mr. S. C. Wayth, was invalided at the Cape of Good Hope, and died on his pasnge home in the hired troopship Princess Charlotte. Her present master is Mr. C. G. John ston. Capt. Cresswell, who previously commanded the Surprise, left at the Cape of Good Hope on pro motion, and was succeeded by Lord E. Cecil, who had been ordered out from E:lgland to take the command. The Bacchante, 51, screw, was commissioned at Portsmouth yesterday morning by Capt. M'Kenzie for the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Maitland, C. 8., the future Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific sta tion. Mr. J. W. Ozzard, we understand, will be secretary to the Admiral. Mr. R. W. Drummond, acting assist.-engineer, Royal Navy, and who was received by the steam reserve at Portsmouth from the Siren gn his dis missal from her Majesty's steamer Oberon by court martial, was yesterday dismissed from her Majesty's Navy, by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, as an habitual drunkard. The boilers and machinery for the Philomel and Cygnet, two of the new class of gunboats, have been delivered at Portsmouth dockyard from the factory of the Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. The Blazer and Decoy gunboats will be launched from the gunboat slipway at Haslar to-morrow, and the Fancy and Angler gunboats afterwards hauled up. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, fitting at Portsmouth, will go out to Spithead to test her machinery on the 23d inst. The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., is completing her deck and outside caulking in the steam basin at Portsmouth. She will move out in about a week's time. Report sends her to Madeira, Rio, and the Cape. The Guide, the Harbinger, and the Prothesa were yesterday chartered by the War Department to ship military stores from Woolwich for the Me diterranean. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Capt. D. WLeod Macken zie, to the Bacchante, commissioned as a flag-ship for foreign service; Commander H. R. Wratislaw, to the Ranger, commissioned; Lieut. J. H. Hat chard, to the Implacable; Lieut. H. T. Gammell, to the Impregnable ; S. Long, mate, to the Bac chante ; E. L. Green, mate, to the.

Kane, midshipman, to the Melpomene; T. 0. Lewis, first-class assistant•engineer, to the Ranger; Windley, second-class assistant-engineer, to the Ranger; N. Steam, third-class assistant-engineer, to the Asia, for service in the Osborne; G. Park (b), acting third-class assistant-engineer, to th e Ranger; and H. Somerville, assistant-pay master in charge, to the Ranger. The mounted Royal Engineer Train, now sta tioned at Brompton-barracks, Chatham, being under orders to proceed to their summer quarters at Al• dershott Camp, will, it is understood, be succeeded at Chatham by a detachment of the Royal Horse Artillery, who will occupy the same quarters at Brompton. A brigade field-day of the troops at Chatham took place yesterday morning, when Major •General Ey rc had the entire force of the garrison on the lines. In addition to the Ist, 2d, and 3d battalions of infan tray, the battalion of Royal Marines and the corps of Royal and Indian Engineers were preset, the The English funds showed great firmness on Tuesday, closing at an improvement of a q u a r t er per cent.. The opening transactions in Consols for money were at 94- 1 i to h, and ultimately there were buyers at 941. For the account the last official quotation was 9-17,. After regular hours there was increased strength. The fact of a good amount of Australian gold having been taken to the Bank produced a favourable effect, and about five o'clock it transpired that the whole sum of £1,530,000 lately withdrawn by •a discount house from the Bank has been returned to that establishment. The scheme having been exposed, and foreign capital being in course of arrival, little concern was felt as to the course that might now be pursued. It is satisfactory, however, that the sur render, if such it is to be deemed, which was sooner or later inevitable, has not been longer delayed, and a hope may be entertained that some pledge will be given to the public against a repetition of the annoyance at a time perhaps when the country may be suffering from bad harvests, war or inva sion, and when the prospect of producing em barrassment would be proportionately more pro- raising. To those not thoroughly versed in banking ques tions a few additional words' on the recent distur bance in the discount market will be useful, al- though with all classes in this country there is, happily, sufficient love of open dealing to cause the bad aspect of the affair to be comprehended at once in its general features. It is felt that with a coin- mercia nation, unless there are at all events certain conventional principles which, by common consent, are never to be outraged, business would become practically impossible. In banking matters, above all, the rule is held sacred, and wherever any de liberate attempts to produce embarrassments have assumed a form to admit of legal cognisance little mercy has usually been shown. The, importance of maintaining this sentiment will be universally un derstood. If the London and Westminster Bank, or the London Joint-stock Bank, for example, were to entertain a grievance against the Bank of England, and were to adopt the idea that all means of hostility are fair, either of them could produce the most disastrous results, since they each hold deposits- on private account of nearly equal magnitude with those of that establishment. But everyone would reject the idea of the possibility of such a course being even dreamt of. Now, the question with the discount houses aroso simply as follows :—These houses invite the public to deposit money with them on the condition that it shall be repayable at call or on a week's notice. This money they employ in tho discount of bills having various periods to run, from a few days to six months. Of course, they would like to extend their transac tions indefinitely, but this is impossible, unless they can contrive that in the event of difficulty some other parties shall be compelled to come to their assistance. Supgose one of them to hold deposits to the extent of £4,000,000, on which they allow 4 or 4,1-, per cent., the Bank rate of discount being 5 per cent. They cannot keep a large reserve, be cause the loss from keeping a great amount unem ployed, for the use of which they are paying 41 per cent., would. be too heavy; yet a large reserve is indispensable while they are under the liability to return more or less suddenly eves y shilling they have taken. To avoid this necessity they wish, therefore, to have the power of going to the Bank of England to demand that the Bank should re discount the paper which they, the bill brokers, without taking the previous precaution of making sure that they were able to hold it, have negotiated. Thus, in case of panic, the Bank, instead of meeting the wants of its commercial customers, would be liable to extraordinary calls from persons, who solely in reliance upon their ability to get help, had made enormous engagements they had never had sufficient power to fulfil. Such a system must be totally inconsistent with a healthful condition, and so completely has this fact always been seen that any banking firm habitually resorting to re discounts was certain to be held in feeble repute. The evil, however, has a further extent. It will be asked " If the bills brought in by the discount houses, even at a time of panic, are of good cha racter, why should the Bank refuse them, since the effect of their being taken would be just the same as if similar bills were to be discounted for the public P" But it has been found that the discount houses at such periods are never willing to pay those advanced rates by which alone the crisis can b.) dealt with, and that, owing to their peculiar position and the magnitude of the interests which, through the faci lities afforded them, they have contrived to get into their grasp, they are apt to insist that they shall be supplied at a certain rate, or, failing this, to get up a movement to frighten the Government into a sus pension of the Bank Charter Act. The history of the last affair of the kind may easily be referred to, and no one reading it can fail to perceive that it is an imperative duty. on the Bank directors to take care that, as far as they have the power, such events shall never happen again. The Bank have no wish to interfere with the discount brokers, and the discount brokers eau have no claim upon them. Under the Act of 1844 the Bank of England is in a position precisely similar to that of all the other and d derhand or any other we have never before banks heard o o f f a n t the t c e o m u p n t t r b y y , means to compel a bank to do business with persons whom, from experience, they would rather avoid. It would be just as reasonable to make the demand on the London Joint-stock Banks, whose total de posits available for discount purposes far exceed those of the Bank of England. These institutions decline to hold their funds at the service of the discount houses, and the Bank of England must be allowed the same freedom of action. If the business which the discount houses would force xpon them could be demonstrated to be safe and profitable there is sufficient banking rivalry to cause it to be sought. Neither the Bank of England not their colleagues could have any object but that which should animate all traders—namely, to make the largest profits that can possibly be compassed by safe and honourable means, and when the dis count houses find themselves unable to persuade these establishments to meet their views they may fall back upon the conviction that if the refusal arises merely from infatuation or prejudice such is the business keenness in London that other parties will be disposed to come into the field. Good bills are the most marketable commodity in the world, and the idea that it can be necessary to coerce any single establishment into taking an article for which there is such universal competition, seems the most preposterous that can be entertained. If the Bank of England is so foolish as not to know its own inte rests, the best punishment will be to leave it to suffer the consequences. It employs its money with the freedom accorded to all persons in this country, in such manner as seems best to it, and it leaves the discount houses to do the same. It enjoys the Government balances, and makes what the Government deems an adequate allowance for them. It is open to any body of capitalists to establish a new bank on the principles desired by the discount houses, and also for the Government to patronize such new bank, if they think the Bank of England too cautious. There can be no grievance, therefore, on any side, and nothing to justify a resort to covert methods of attack and annoyance such as are ordi narily banished from the rules of honourable com munities. It is just as bad to get up plots to em barrass a bank or the public as to write anonymous letters, or to perform any other meanness that con sists in taking people at a disadvantage. With all their faults, Englishmen have never been prone to vices of this kind, and, moreover, they have sufficient shrewdness to know the inevitable results. If any further illustration of these results were needed, it would now be found. The Bank of England pro fits must have been largely swollen by what has transpired, and, at the same time, the directors, by their firm course, have gained an extraordinary de gree of public confidence and approval. They will doubtless continue to perform their duty, and it is to be hoped that, with cordial support from all who do not wish to see the financial affairs of the coun try subjected to fluctuations by a constant liability to secret tricks, they will be found to have adminis tered to those who require it a lesson that will never be forgotten on the observances expected from all who aspire among men of business to be held worthy of respect and confidence. [A_DvErnsinizyr.] Holloway's Indigestion and Disordered Liver—Mr Bostick,druggist of Ashton-under- Lyne, states that a person with whom he is welt acquainted nas received the benefit of a most astonishing cure by the use of Holloway's Pills. For months he was afflicted with se vere pains in the - stomach, chist, and liver, •which entirely prevented him from following his business. He availed him self of all the medical skill in the neighbourhood without de riving any benefit. lie then determined on giving Hollo way's Pills a trial and this medicine had the effect of giving mmediate relief and finally restoring him to perfect health. This statement is:published in the hope that othars similarly aelteted may 'secure the mew of oDtatuipg the same relief, Few will be prepared to credit the fact that there is at this moment quietly riding in that noble basin for the reception of British and foreign shipping, the East and West India Docks, an almost perfect counterpart, in a structural point of view, of the celebrated tubular bridge (slung some few years since by Stephenson over the Mcnai Straits), in the form of a fine iron clipper ship, eal'ed the Fanny Mend, being the first iron steam ship built by Messrs. Robert Taylerson and Co., of Port Glas• gow and Cornhill, on the "diagonal" principle, and which principle is alleged by the projectors to be the "only" principle in shipbuilding capable of re sisting the disruption of a vessel in cases of ship wreck by casualty and collision. In view, more over, of the innumerable melancholy catastrophes that ever and anon occur upon our coasts, as deve loped in that dark national record of disasters the " Wreck Chart," a practical attempt like the pre sent, in the way of diminishing the loss of property and life, and redeeming this national disgrace, de serves the more serious and attentive consideration, not only by the Government, but by the mercantile marine. When it is known, too, that not less than 80 millions of property—to say nothing of human life—belonging to this country is constantly afloat and finding its way into iron vessels ; that during the past year, according to the returns of the Board of Trade, there were not fewer than 1,461 wrecks and 1,645 lives lost ; and that during the first three months of the present year the number of wrecks has amounted to something like 700, the considera tion of the question becomeS not only imperative, but appalling. Doubtless a majority of wrecks arises from apparently uncontrollable causes, but in many of these instances, if constructed suffi ciently strong, the devoted vessel-or at least her crew—might be rescued or relieved. The disasters that daily happen on our coast are at length draw ing the attention of Parliament and the public to the question, and it is hoped that in conjunction with the efforts of the newly-established association for the promotion and improvement of naval archi tecture, recently established under the scientific auspices of Mr. R. A. Brooman and Mr. E. J. Reed, the inquiry into lights, buoys, beacons, and chain cables something essentially practical will be done in this way, despite the prejudice of interested ship builders or the apathy of well underwritten ship owners, and that a recurrence of those fatal catas trophes that have characterised the loss of Royal Charters, Birkenheads, Hungarians, and Ondines will to a considerable extent cease. As a first step in this desirable direction, Messrs. Taylerson have satisfied tiemselves that there is a radical defect and weakness in the existing form of building iron ves sels—firstly from the fact of the frames being in a " vertical" direction and parallel to each other, not offering sufficient resistance to any force or strain having a tendency to tear the ship asunder trans versely ; and, secondly, the frames being secured to the outside shell by rivets running in a direct ver tical line from the gunwale to the keel, entailing one continuous line of weakness in that direction. Ships built in this way, to use the expressions of the nautical profession, on encountering any ob struction literally " broke their backs," or were severed in two from gunwale to keel. Messrs. Taylerson's proposition in relation to their new " diagonal" principle is, that while in the case of the vertical principle the line of resistance to any force acting in the direction of the vertical planes of the ship will be in a line: with the shortest cir cumferential line of the body of the ship, thereby opposing the least amount of resistance to fracture coming in the direction of these planes ; in the case of a ship built in accordance with the ditgonal prin ciple, the line of resistance to forces acting in the direction of these vertical planes will be diagonal to the circumferential line of the body of the ship, thereby opposing the greatest amount of resistance that can be given at an angle equivalent to the in clination of the frames. In addition to the diagonal the vertical principle is introduced, so that the ves sel becomes a complete network, as it were, of ada ment. Before she can break in two parts or tear her plating asunder, as in the case of the Eva, Duke of Sutherland, Countess of Strathmore, Taylcur, &c., she must break through 20 frames of angle iron 4 by 3by 3- 2 inch, as well as 10 reverse frames of angle iron 3 by 3 by 7-1 G inch, diagonal butt ends, stringers, 4 sister keelsons, deck of iron, &c. ; whereas, in a ship built on the vertical principle, the poop, main, and lower deck beams are secured to one frame only, both on the starboard and port side, and they are 3 feet apart at least, which leaves every alternate frame unsustained by any beam ; she has, therefore, not a single frame to break, bnt 'tears the plating from keel to gunwale without any resisting power of her frames whatever. These are the leading novel principles on which the construction of the Fanny Maud is based. She is intended, we understand, for the East India, China, and Australian trade, and lying, as she does most conveniently, and in contrast between the Empress Eugenie and the Parsee in the East and West India Docks, she is well worth a visit. In deed, a large number of scientific, gentlemen inte rested in the progress of steam navigation have been over her ; and also Captains Robertson and Tulke, of the Admiralty and Board of Trade, by the direc tion of Sir Baldwin Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy. She is about 2,500 tons burdQn, and has a full poop and forecastle, which greatly increases her available capacity for passengers and stowage of cargo. The saloons are fitted up so as to combine the utmost comfort with elegance. They have the benefit of an efficient system of ventilation, by which any unpleasant closeness is comparatively prevented, and all the lights are so planned as to obviate dan ger. The plans and elevations are on the most ap proved principle and liberal scale, so far as the building, outfit, and general completion of the ship are concerned. The anchors are according to Trot man's patent, and the chains are made of tke best Staffordshire iron, and proved in accordance with the requirements of the Admiralty and Lloyd's Rules, for 12 years, Class A 1, at least. A PUGILISTIC TINKER GIRL. The Northern Ensign tells the following story —:" A few days ago, a girl belonging to the tinker tribe, named Sarah Johnston, in her wanderings entered the house of a shepherd in the Strati' of Kildonan, Sutherlandshire, and finding no one pre sent but the mistress and her children, took advan tage of the opportunity to levy black mail from her. After making sundry large demands on the dairy and larder, she demanded a supply of warm milk, and the good wife becoming alarmed by the threats of the girl, complied, and despatched one of the children to the hills for the cow, which was brought home and milked, the produce being duly handed over to Sarah. Surfeiting herself with the warm milk, Sarah threw the dish and the remainder of the milk in the face of the woman, who had privately sent off one of the children for the assistance of a neighbouring gamekeeper. The gamekeeper, who, it appears, wears a long beard, instantly repaired to the scene of danger, and having threatened Sarah with summary ejection, she immediately pounced upon him with the fury of a hyena, seizing hold of his beard with one hand and administering a hearty beating with the other. In his endeavours to re lease his hirsute appendage from the enraged girl. she caught one of his fingers in her teeth, and bit it severely. After getting a sound thrashing, the unfortunate gamekeeper got himself disengaged, and considered it the better part of valour to retreat till the force against the girl was augmented. A despatch was therefore sent off for farther troops to meet the enemy, and other two men by-and-by appeared. Despite the odds, however, Sarah gave fight, but at last one of her opponents adopted the expedient of throwing a plaid over the head of the desperado, by which she was secure d, and ultimately ejected from the house. But the contest did not close here ; for no sooner was Sarah released than she commenced attacking the party with stones. Meantime, another despatch was sent off to Helm sdale for the poli c e, th e g i r l a t the same time keeping the whole party at bay, by means of stones and other missiles, challenging them another conflict, and proclaiming herself as the victor. The policeman hurried to the scene of ac tion with all possible speed, to enforce the majesty of the law, and under his brawny arm the heroic Sarah had to succumb, and was taken to llelinsdale as a prisoner. Arrived at li elmsdale, a conveyance was obtained to carry Sarah to Dorneelt gaol; but the drama was not yet completed. When at the farm of Lothbeg, Sarah managed to escape from the gig and to conceal herself among . the farm-houses, where she succeeded in manoeuvring the policeman, afterwards running off, and getting considerably a-head, of him. Determined not to be outdone by a tinker girl, Charlie immediately obtained a horse and gave chase, Sarah meanwhile running over bog and moor, roads, bridges, and streams, with the policeman in full chase, at the rate of some ten miles an hour. Sarah was at last out-distanced, and somewhere about Berriedale she had once more to give herself up to the officer of law and justice, under protest, however, that_ the liberty of the sub ject was grievously interfered with, Duly secured, SAR,DINLI. A letter from- Turin, dated April 15, says—lt is a fine morning, and all the 'Vatican thunders are powerless to rob the Piedmontese of sunlight ar.d warmth., It ,is perfectly marvellous .to see bow well people 04n manage to thrive under the Pope's excommunication. As in the memorable incident of the Jackdiw of Rheims, it may be said : " Never was there such a terrible curse ; • But, what gave rise to no little surprise, Nobody seemed one penny the worse." That is all. People do not even give themselves the trouble to laugh at Popes Bulls. We have here in Turin the Fischietto and Pasquino—un der Mr. Punch, the very - best dealers in jokes the European press can beast: Well,. even • these worthies seem to think - St. Peter's artillery beneath a jest. Come out with me for an hour's walk about the Turin streets, and you will be able to see the effects of the Pope's malison. Look into the faces of these sober, earnest, God-fearing Piedmontese, the most sensible people on the Continent. Every man's` face calm; serene, radiant- with 't acindk sciousnessof true freedom, tells you plainly, "le crams Dieu, et n'ai point d'autre cremate." Under the porticoes in a walk of five minutes, you are accosted by about 20 newsmen, hawking about their cheap goods, wet from the press. The Italian press may be deficient in means,. it may boast nothing above average talent, but it is gloriously free, suf ficiently fair, uncompromising, and not unmindful of dignity. .11 7 'en deplaise the French Emperor, the J)iritto is as boldly outspoken as The Times, and the Unione has most nobly fought its wart° the most unlimited discussion of religious subjects. But on with our walk, up to Piazzo Castello, past the palace where the good King—honest man—is packing up his portmanteau, ready for a start to Central Italy this afternoon at half-past four; fur ther along Dora Grossa, straight up to the Ytoche melon, a mountain 9,000 feet high and 30 miles off, which in this-thin atmosphere, seems almost to bar the way at the end of the long, straight street. The Turinese are all up ; some bound to the cafe for a frugal breakfast, some to hear mass, but all with their morning paper in their hand or pocket —a kind of talisman to keep off the evil eye, or jettatura, of the priests. A mass does no harm, even though the mass-sayer is not to be fruited. See,—this huge gloomy building on our left was the Jesuit 'College. Have no fear—it was. The other sombre edifice on our right is the Barnabite Convent. The monks are few ; they pursue harm less studies, and are quietly dying off. Our child ren just hear of them as a myth. The rubbish of the middle ages is fast clearing off. Now turn to the left, under the blossoming plane avenue, round the half-dismantled citadel— a fortress making room for a railway station, brute force blown away by a whiff of steam. Now out into open space—the Piazza d'Armi or parade-ground. It is the grandest , of European panoramas—a broad green field fenced round by a mass of glittering snow, hundreds of miles of Alps standing on end like the waves round Moses's host. See the earth is teeming with spring life; the lark is carolling up in the air; the seasons go round, even though Popes may scowl. On one side of the vast square four legions of Na tional Guards are on drill, the Turin burgesses playing at soldiers ; ay, and shaking off their sloth, breathing fresh air, engaged in wholesome, even if harmless, exercise, learning tidy and clearly habits, gathering the gold;" which, according to, the wise German saying, " the morning hour has in its mouth." People are apt to take the value of free institutions too much to the letter. National Guards may be of little use either as soldiers or policemen, but these ten thousand militiamen, use less only because people know not what uses they may be put to, 12 years ago would have been_ in bed, or in their dingy cafés, or, at the utmost, mus tering into hooded processions. Now they are clad like men ; they have the bearing of men ; these musters and manoeuvres, if they do no more, strengthen, straighten, beautify the whole race, and mental advancement keeps pace with physical improvement. These men catch the spirit of dis cipline, of association—they become brethren in the ranks. The National Guards in Daly is still an in stitution in its infancy. All efforts to turn it to account have been unavailing as yet, though Pied mont has the example of Switzerland close at hand to show how a man may supply the want of a sol dier. Yet neither is this citizen militia as idle a piece of mere show as it is in France. The French are already too military a people. Mock soldiers are of little use where every man at the shortest notice can be turned into a fighting machine ; but the Italians, and to a certain extent even the Pied montese, had no taste for soldiering. The whole of this Southern race lay prostrate, and almost thought the trade of arms the exclusive privilege of the Gaul and Teuton. To make Italy a country it is necessary to turn the nation into an army. Better these people should handle even a militia musket than play on the flute. Hark ! drums and trumpets! Here come soldiers n right good earnest. They are some of the batta ions who marched up the hill of San Martino in July last. Heaven save you, bravo Macedonians of Italy ! Your stern discipline and hardened consti tutions have redeemed the name of the common country from obloquy ; they have won over to your King that crown which has been for so many centuries the football of the Transalpine nations. Breathe your sober, earnest, modest spirit into the 13ceotian Lombards and the Attic Tuscans, whom your bravery has associated to your destinies. There is, indeed, good hope that the work of amal gamation of the Italian military forces may soon be prudently, no less than Ivigorously, achieved. Tuscans, 2Emilians, and Lombards are to be ad mitted into the Piedmontese corps, without, how ever, swamping the old army by the too sudden and general introduction of the new, raw mate rials. Every province of the united Italian king dom is to be garrisoned by regiments belonging to some of the other provinces. The Pistoia Brigade, for instance, will be quartered in Piedmont ; the Aosta Brigade will take up its abode in 'Tuscany ; only, however, with trs. ocoi tf t fs jpni means Theamwea d akbhm i nsaietscorri which it at c eire t ltres epecmgror will regiment recruits etsles the i o tena n anwa , Lec t hyeo h oier a tempa ho t every corps shall be recruited out of the levies e rs bso consistsp admitnp s l o t ni ae s td oa i ni bn o n y e w e e d h t s .h eu e n e nl entirely Lom bard squadron will fill its ranks with Bolognese r will remain always the same ; it will go by the same name, it will be commanded by the same officers ; but, as military service is limited to a few years only, the extraneous elements will gradually equal and eventually even outnumber the original mass, and after four or five years the work of assi milation will be very nearly complete, without having in any sensible manner altered the nature or organisation of the corps.

The arrival of a regiment in a town of which the soldiers scarcely knew the name, and in which they are taught to consider themselves at home, among a people who hardly understand the new-comers' dialect, and who are yet made to hail them as brethren, gives the whole mass of the population a practical definition of the name of Italy—a name which was hitherto a mere abstraction, but will henceforth be used to designate that fatherland which Providence in tended to belong to the Italians.

This is a ilicthod of interfering with public business which is con ducive rather to the amusement of aged offictrs than to the advancement-of the interests of the ser vice which, in their more juvenile days, those officers ornamented. The player who plays Mer cutio, and is killed off early in the tragedy, is satis fied when his part is over, and goes to bed, never waiting, jaded old hand as he is, to see how the Romeo drinks the paison, or how the Juliet flourishes the dagger. So these veteran officers seem to have thought that when they had made their speeches all the rest was time wasted, and the sooner the curtain dropped the better for all who had spoken. Sufficient, however, has been said to make it quite evident that the project of a Navy Reserve has proved an abSOlute failure. So little is tie Admi ralty competent to deal with the subject of manning the ships they build, and so little do the profes sional men they consult understand the influencing motives of the men they command, that they have ; pt•edneed . - -an- elaborate scheme which for, the, men no - inducements Whatever..' Alt - th"&e fapets • we saw stuck about everywhere last autumn, which were so special in their requisitions and so guarded in their offers, turn out to be so much waste paper. The Admiralty have contrived to invent 50,000 places under Government which no one will accept. Every one who dared to act upon the dictates of mere common sense said at the time that it must be so. Even we ourselves, who were most anxious to see success attend any project for manning the Navy, could only hopelessly wish this one well. It seemed to be absurd •, but non-professional people must not rashly apply the rules of common sense to profes sional suggestions until professional incompetence has been proved by the result. That has now been abundantly accomplished. Those eld gentle men at the Admiralty have shown themselves ut terly unable to put their pinch of salt upon Jack's pigtail. That achievement requires some intelli gence, "some knowledge of the world as it is, some acquaintance with the human nature of the nine teenth century. They can build ships and pull them to pieces again, but they cannot raise, dis perse, and congregate men by official letters. The trap has failed, the springes are all empty, and we have no Naval Reserve. In this respect we stand just in the position we held when Ministers under took the work last year. Then for a little moment public opinion was fixed upon the importance of this question. It was thought to be not impossible that some . occasion might occur to render it essential that we should be able at any given moment to man every ship we could put afloat in these English seas. Con trasts were then drawn between the facilities en joyltd by our neighbours and the difficulties which we ourselves laboured under in this respect. People thought gravely of the French system, by which large bodies of conscripts are trained to act as soldiers on seaboard, and of that further French convenience which compels every seagoing French man to be registered for service in time of war. Unfavourable comparisons were made between this system and ours, which is to go into the market and buy the men up as we want them, but to make no preparations against any unusual necessities. Under pressure of these re flections it was determined to have a Naval Reserve. Everybody saw the absolute necessity for it, and almost everybody thought he saw the best means by which that necessity could be met—that is to say, by paying the market price for it. The Coast guard seemed, however, to some to be capable of expansion into a perfect system for keeping a suf ficient body of seamen in employment until we wanted them. The Admiralty thought that £5 a year would be a retaining fee sufficient to keep all the Mercantile Navy at, the command of the (-). ii( en's Captains. Our adviceat that lime was to do the thing substantially and efficiently at once, and not to grudge spending upon the 'means of manning your' ships and your guns three per cent. of the money which you are annually lavishing, and to no slight extent wasting, upon those ships and those guns. Of course,' we were not listened to. The Admiralty were sure they could have the nicn upon their own terms. It now proves that their , Coastguard Reserve is not a reserve at all ; that the men enrolled in it are to a very large amount not gunners, not men-of-war's-men, not even sailors, bid mere landsmen ; that the Naval Volun teers as a force do not exist ; that all the argu ments which were last year pressed so forcibly against the absurdity of building ships and neglect ing the most obvious precaution for manning them apply as stringently at this hour as they did ten months ago, when the whole nation was moved by them, Something must be done to repair this disgrace ful failure. So far as the Coastguard is conccrrrd, Sir Charles Napier has given notice.of an intention to bring it specially before the House of Commons. Sir Charles, however, has not the art of investing a subject with interest, or of inspiring his hearers with confidence that his schemes or his ships will work. What the public require is not a general wrangle among all the ancient naval officers who have seats in the House of Commons, but a means of manning the navy. We want a naval reserve— as cheap as may be, but only as cheap as may be consistent with certainty and efficiency. We want ourtohf then tni annual fifteen n letn use lessa a us a new institution by whic h men ma y be obtained at any moment of emergency t o man a l l those ships we are building at such a tremendous cost.

We have, indeed, our -Naval Schools and Training Ships, but they are altogether inadequate even as a partial effort towards this object. But why do we not use the ships we have in commission for this purpose ? Boys may be had in any number. Uneducated, ungrown, unformed boys, are the great drug of our social system. You may have as many as you like of them at any moment. Why should not that proud fleet which is sailing about from port to port, gaining such glory from an occasional encounter with a ten-knot breeze—. why should not that fleet in these piping times of peace be half-banded with boys ? So of that other gay squadron which is doing its holiday work so gallantly in the blue waters and in the pleasant sunshine of the Mediterranean, but which has no immediate prospect of hard work or heavy blows —why should not that second fleet be a train ing school for future tars P The Captains and the First-Lieutenants would, of course, ex claim in full chorus aga inst any such proposi tion ; and, if a man-of-war were the captain's private yacht, and were maintained out of the captain's private funds, it would be most reasonable in him and his .First Lieutenant to do so. Under such circumstances a captain should never be asked to carry troops, or to burden himself with stores, or to take any man on board who might not be rated on his books as an ablebodied seaman. He should pass from port to port as the exigencies of his own temperament might require,and he should put back unquestioned into his favourite dockyard whenever his master reported to him that an extra gallon of water was found inside his ship. But we would venture to submit that so long as a ship of-war is built with public money, and kept afloat at the expense of some hundred thousand pounds a year, it is equitable as well as expedient that she should conduce to the sustentation of the service whereof she forms part. There arc times when she must wear out able-bodied ecamcn, bat there are also times to create them g. . A great d ea l m i e b c done, and inexpensively don e , i n thi s direction ; but we do not suggest the that particular want of a navy reserve could be thus altogether satisfied. 'the habit of employing and educating a large 'lumber of boys, however, would have a tendency to make the British seaman rather a less rare and difficult to be caught animal than he has recently been. What we complain of is the neglect of many obvious means, such as that which we have just painted out, by which the Navy might, at the sacrifice of some prejudices, and at the cost of a little trouble, be made to a greater extent self-sustaining. But upon the main question of a Naval Reserve we say again what we ineffectually said ten months ago— that there would be no difficulty in saving any sum necessary to be spent on the human machines out of the money already wasted upon the wooden and A iron ones.—Tima.
