A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines , are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the d gestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To preveit imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm. All orders to be made payable to HENRY BURROWS. THE HON. W. F. CAMPBELL, AND BIS CONSTITURYTB. On Saturday evenini , the Hon. W. F. Campb e ll, M.P. for Harwich, m e t his constituents At the Cups Hotel. Mr. L. Richmond, one of the borough magistrates, presided. The Hon. W. F. CAMPBELL addressed the meeting at some length, referring to the necessity which at the time existed for the motion he made in August last on the affairs of Portugal; and in continuing his observations he said it would not be propert at such a moment to confront them without towching briefly on those questions of organic change which it was thought would occupy the attention of the Legislature in the coming session ; and, looking to the apathy which now existed upon that point, he would only trouble them with the general opinion he had formed as to the line they ought to follow as a nation. He said so with the greater confi dence, because in his important speech at Rochdale in the beginning of the autumn that distinguished man, Mr. Cobden, anticipated nearly all ho had to say upon the topic. In the speech of that gentle man to which he (Mr. Campbell) alluded, Mr. Cob den lent his great authority to the position that the best mode of dealing with the Reform Act of 1832, if they were to deal with it, was to renounce all large and ambitious schemes, and to touch, one by one, separately, the different portions of that system which required connection and improve ment. (Hear, hear.) Experience was ready to convince them that as regarded the amending of the Reform Act of 1832, all attempts at a large and final legislation had met as yet with failure and disaster. In 1848 the late Mr. O'Connor in- trodu•ed a scheme of large and comp r ehensive legis lation ; but it met with no support from any order of society. In 1849, 1850, and 1851 Mr. Hume at tempted a scheme not very far dissimilar; but it met with no response, except aversion in the House of Commons and indifference from the people. Lord John Russell in 1852 introduced a large and com prehensive scheme, but in 10 days it overthrew his Government. In 1854 the Earl of Aberdeen, blind to all those lessons, tried a large and comprehensive scheme, but it met a similar repulse, although not at once. In 1859—and they saw he had brought them down to times at once recent and familiar— the Earl of Derby, blind to those impressive antecedents, introduced a large and comprehen sive scheme, which overthrew his Government amid the loudest marks of public reprobation. (Cheers.) The truth vas— a truth by which he little doubted Mr. Cobden was greatly influenced in the opinion he promulgated—that what they termed large and comprehensive schemes were never likely to be carried. There were various irnpediments'of a nature to arrest their progress, some of which he would touch upon. In the first place, a largo and comprehensive scheme of organic change was sup posed to involve dissolution. It was an admitted fact in all political society that when a dissolution was impending the power of the House of Com mons as a deliberative body was suspended and its functions gone by reason of the excitement of can vassing and election. What, however, could be more irrational than to take away the power of the House of Commons as a deliberative body, and to suspend its functions as a Senate, at the very time when they requeste d it to decide upon a question which must involve the preservation of the empire ? It was not, therefore, unnatural that Parliament, reduced to that dilemma, should discountenance a measure which, in point of fact, it had not the power or the opportunity to weigh. It had been found since the epoch of 1832 that a large and com prehensive measure of reform had never been adopted. View the converse. What was the only change even yet engrafted upon the system of 1832 ? It was the act for the extension of the Irish fran chise, proposed in 1850 by itself, involving no party change, debated without faction, and carried in the session through b o th H ouses of Parliament. (Hear.) Why was it so carried ? Because the Opposition well knew that, even if that bill was thrown out, the Government would not have been forced to resign ; but when it was understood among all parties that the fall of Government would ensue from the rejection of a measure, naturally all the art; all the ingenuity, and all the power of the Opposition were strained to ascortaii its faults and exaggerate their consequences. Thus, therefore, they would see that experience pointed out that by the mode of action recommended by Mr. Cobden success might be obtained, and that by the mode of action he discountenanced only failure could be courted. If, however, he wanted a brief and con clusive argument to prove that the statesmen of the moinelt s mu: k as he esteemed them, were not qualified to deal with the Reform Act of 1832 hyan,y largeand byfi final measure, he should point only to thi s c i rcumstance, that they were all op posed perhaps genuine convictions, to the ballot. (Hear, hear.) A large and final mea sure of reform in which the ballot was denied would place a large body of electors who desired that sound measure of amelioration in a far worse posi tion than they were in at present—(cheers)—be cause the very gist and essence of a large and com prehensive legislation was to dispose of those topics, to put an end to those debates, and create a period of silence and tranquillity, during which neither the question of the ballot, nor any other question of organic change, would be reopened ; and he could not help thinking that the electors of this king dom, if they really did desire that protection of w hi c h they had heard so much, were bound to point out briefly and respectfully to the statesmen who conduct affairs that one of two things they would have—either a large and final measure which comprehended the ballot, or an admission that the bill which was promulgated was not to be regarded as a settlement upon which they meant afterwards and almost immediately to improve. (Cheers.) But while he had stated to them, having thought much and long upon this question, that he concurred with Mr. Cobden in the view that gentleman recom mended, he (Mr. Campbell) must guard himself against being thought, because in favour of occa sional reform, as opposed to comprehensive legisla tion,opinion of the people might desire. ( • an enemy of those changeswhic c h h t e h e e rs m ) atu A r u e d d here let him remind them that by occasional reform, such as that which carried the Irish franchise in n l i B i s g 'oll,t bany e a r m r i e e a d s systems The t without was, altering that the on e lawsagitated e t o h t . 0 r r d e i a ff t e , r n e i n o c d e e r h a e t t e w , e o e r u limited, twote d, L. p ublic tended mind t o practical results, and loft the island in tranquillity. (Applause.) Here he would remark that that tran quillity was to be prized when they regarded it as their great security, their great defence against all foreign powers, whose opportunity would be found alone in our struggles and divisions. (Hear.) This point led him to engage their consideration, for a meat, of the volunteer movement. That movement ought not to be discouraged or relaxed in conse quence of any new commercial treaty which bound France to this country, or in consequence of any common enterprise in which they were en gaged, or in consequence of any mutual esteem and admiration they might feel for one another as na tions. That movement was first kindled by the laureate; it was fanned into a wider flame by the press. Lord Elcho, and every public-spirited man, by founding the Volunteer Association, endeavoured to give it character and permanence. This move ment was not undertaken to damage the alliance - of this country with France. For his own part, he &might the French alliance advantageous to the country and essential to the world. (Cheers.) If France and England were disunited for any length of time, Constantinople would become:Russian terri tory, and Europe no longer safe. But how could they preserve the alliance ? It could only be preserved by an equality of power--by that equality of power which would prevent France or Britain from en gaging in any course calculated to alienate the goodwill, the sympathy, and the approbation of the other. (Cheers.) In the history of the world they never saw a firm and durable alliance for the advantage of other countries except between two Powers substantially equal to each other. (Cheers.) In former times, to balance the immense prepon derance of the French Government by land, Great Britain exceeded it in the number of her line-of battle ships, her frigates, and her gunboats ; that was so no longer, and if France had become their equal on the water, no course remained to them except, so far as possible, to become her equal on the land. (Cheers.) But how could they effect that ? Would they raise a standing army 0f300,000 men. The spirit of the country, the traditions of the country, and the necessities and obligations of the country would resist it. Nothing remained, therefore, except to depend in some degree upon loyal ♦olunteers. This, in his opinion, was a suffi cient vindication of the movement and he would not scruple to remark that the more closely France and this country were thrown together, the more essential was it to our honour to become a nation of armed men. Well, but it was said that so long as the present Emperor of France was on the throne, and: our good ally, no pre cautions were essential. , Far be it from him to disparage that extraoidinary person, who, what ever he had been to other countries, had always been to this an irreproachable ally—(hear)--but this he would submit—was the Emperor's life secured to them ? Calculations of ambition, along with the impulses of sentiment, would all go to de ter him from any rupture with Great Britain, for he well knew that the world was not able to pre sent him with an equivalent ally. If the Emperor of France was, however, led to an attack upon this country, he (Mr. Campbell) could not help submit ting it would only happen in this manner—from our voluntary weakness in our national defences, or from a spirit of aggression and rapacity which eves the Emperor's power was unable to subdue. That he (Mr. Campbell) hoped they would prevent. But, as he before observed, was the Emperor's life secured to them ? In the event of his death France would be split up into hostile sections, the malignant pas sions of which the Emperor could now control, but which in his absence would bid against each other in the race of a short-lived popularity in their hos tility towards England. He therefore ventured to submit to them that it was not enough in any per son who pretended to discourage their army to prove that the Emperor was a friend of Great Bri tain unless he could also prove the Emperor was immortal. (Cheers.) But beyond this, on the grounds of foreign policy alone, the volunteer move ment might easily he defended, as the hon. gentle man proceeded to demonstrate. With reference to the volunteer movement in Harwich, Mr. Campbell urged all who could to join the artillery company already formed there, and ho linerably offered to indemnify any of his friends for the time they lost if they felt unable to bear the loss themselves. (Loud cries of " Bravo ?") In conclusion, the hen. gentleman said that on the ground of foreign policy alone, admitting war to be improbable, and even impossible, it was still our duty to provide, in the first place, a Channel fleet, which all the country called for; in the second place, a reserve of gun boats; in the third place, 100,000 regulars in the army, which was not far beyond the present limit ; in the fourth place, 100,000 militia ; and, last of all, at least 100,000 volunteers. (Loud cheers.) The CuArRuAN said one remark esciped Mr. Campbell which implied that there was scarcely a member of the present Government in favour of the ballot, and he begged to ask the hog. gentleman if his own opinions were at at all changed with re ference to that vital principle reform. The Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL said they were not. The proceedings closed with hearty cheers for the hon. member. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. LATEST FROM ROME. Mr. John Francis Maguire, M.P., has received a letter from a gentleman of high position in Rome, of which the following is an extract. It bears date the 14th of January inst.:— " It is most consoling to see with what magna nimity the Holy Father bears his present trials. On New Year's-day he had occasion to address the French General and officers, who came to wish him a happy New Year; and in the most emphatic manner he condemned the principles enunciated in the pamphlet entitled L. Pape et le Congtio. A rupture seems imminent with the Emperor of the French, but, nevertheless, the Pope has so great a confidence in God and the .justice of his cause, that every one who sees him, as I have already remarked, is astonished at the m agnan i m i ty with which he awaits the contest. Th e reports o f t h e meetings in Ireland, which aro all read to him, continue to give him the greatest consolation. The pastorals, addresses, and letters which he is daily receiving from all parts of the world would fill many volumes. There never was a moment in the history of the Church when the whole Catholic world was so una niMons on the expediency of maintaining the tem poral power of the Pope. Pius IX. was never greater than he is at this moment. The Pope is never so great as when he suffers, especially if he bear his sufferings with-the sublime calmness, pa tience, resignation, equanimity, and I may say Christian fortitude with which Pius IX. bears his." MR. HUGH MASSY O'GRADY. The mystery respecting the fate of this unfortunate gentleman is at length cleared up so far as the find ing of the body ; but how he actually met his un timely death is not very clear, but that it was the result of an accident there appears to be little or no doubt. The Linzeriel _Reporter of yesterday gives the following particulars of the discovery of the remains : The body of Mr. Hugh Massy O'Grady was this day discovered, about half-past 11, a.m., floating in what is called the Dead River,' which flows near New Pallas station, a n d was at once recognised, and brought on shore. The unfortunate gentle man, it is thought, accidentally fell into the river, the night being dark on which he left the train at the New Pallas station. The river had been fie cluently dragged, but without avail, and all was mystery until the discovery was made this day as above stated. Mr. John Massy, of Glengar, uncle of the deceased lamented, gentleman, was imme diately on the spot, and had the body removed to Castlegarde, where it awaits the coroner's inquest, which, we believe, will be held to-morrow. There are no marks whatever, on the body, except that it has suffered somewhat from decomposition, conse quent on the length of time it has been in the water—just one month. Mrs. H. Massy O'Grady, widow of the deceased gentleman, who had been in Dublin for some time, was returning home to Castlegarde b the midday train, and was me t a t the Limerick Junction by Mrs John Massy, who imparted the said intelligence to her. She appeared to be deeply affected. Mrs. H. M. O'Grady was accompanied by her son, a fine boy aged about twe years. It was thought by very many that Mr. H. M. O'Gr a d y was alive—but the fact is now un happily known." Another acc oun t says :—" A g l ass w hi ch M r. O'Grad y was in the habit of wearing (so it was stated) was fir m ry fi xe d i n hi s eye. Th e d ecease d gentleman was son of the late Walter O'Grady, Q.C., and grandson of the first Lord Gullamore. Mr. O'Grady was returned on the roll of high she riffs for the county of Limerick for the present year, and was extremely and deservedly respected by all his acquaintance, whether of the better or humbler classes. An inquest on the body will take place to-morrow, when it is hoped some light will be thrown upon the melancholy transaction, which has for so long a time engaged the public atten tion."

[AnvEirris rmExT.]—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Disordered Stomach. —Whenever the stomach fails faithfully to perform its functions, indigestion i■ produced, the issue of which is uncertain. The food, after passing undigested through the sluggish stomach, irritates the bowels, and sets up diarrhoea, which probably relieves the sufferer for a time. To rectify the disordered digestion, and check the first morbid symptoms, nothing previously prescribed equals Holloway's Digestive Pills, which, in severe cases, should be assisted by his Ointment, rubbed over the stomach and right side perseveringly for ten minutes twice a day. The united action of these remedies over stomach, liver, and bowels, is immediate, beneficial, and luting ; they re store order and ease, and simultaneously remove the cause and consequences of the disease. 2 lIE NAVY. It is now stated that the Nelson will for the pre sent not be undocked until the works in connexion with lengthening the docks shall be further ad vanced. Lieut. Basil Hall has received his appointment as Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., Commander in• Chief on the North American and West India station. The Prussian screw frigate Arcona, under orders to proceed to Southampton for docking and repairs, was yesterday still detained at Spithead by the violence of the weather. The screw steamship Nile, Capt. Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., at Devonport, had her lower masts stripped for overhauling on Saturday. The paddlewheel steam sloop Prometheus, 5, Lieut. Theodore B. Hollingworth, commanding, from Portland, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, to fit and take in stores for foreign service. The naval transport Diligence, James Head, master, was hauled into Keyham basin, Devonport, on Saturday, to discharge moulding sand. The gunboats Porpoise and Lark were taken out of No. 1 dock at lieyham, Devonport, on Friday ; and the Shamrock, Commander Edye, and survey ing gunboat Magpie were placed in dock. Preparations are being made at Portsmouth on a somewhat extensive scale for witnessing the launch of the Prince of Wales, screw three-decker, which event is fixed to take place on Wednesday next. The ship will be fitted with engines of 800-horse power; and her dimensions and armament are as follow :—Length between perpendiculars, 232 ft. ; length of keel for tonnage, 213 ft. 3Z- in. ; breadth, extreme, 60 ft. 2 in.; breadth, for tonnage, 59 ft. 4 in. ; breadth, moulded, 58 ft. 6 in.; depth in hold, 25 ft. 6 in.; burthen in tons, 3,993 74-94th. Ar mament--Lower deck : 8-inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in length, 10 in number ; 32-pounders, 58 or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. in length, 26 in number. Middle deck : 8-inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in length, 6in number ; 32- pounders, 58 or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. in length, 30 in number. Main deck : 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 8 ft. in length, 38 in number. Upper deck : 32-pounders, 25 cwt., 6 ft. in length, 20 in number ; 68-pounder, pivot, 95 cwt., 10 ft. in length,'l in number. Total, 131 guns. It is not expected that any of the members of the Royal family will be present, but it is propable that the ceremony of christening the vessel will be per formed by the Princess of Leiningen. The greatest activity still prevails in Portsmouth dockyard,, and is we believe without precedent. There are at the present time about 8,000 men em ployed in that establishment, or more than double the permanent staff, and the sum paid weekly in wages amounts to no less than £9,000. A more correct idea of the vast increase of labour hero may be formed if we state that prior to the Russian war the average payment was only £3,000 per week, and it did not throughout that war exceed £5,000, or £4,000 less than at the present time. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—J. A. Miller, surgeon, to the Blen heim ; Dr. John Teenan, surgeon, to the Diadem ; William Robert Green, acting third-class assistant engineer, to the Rhadamanthus, as supernumerary; John Symons, acting third-class assistant-engineer to the Wellington, for service in the Sheldrake; W. B. Edkins, clerk, to the Donegal ; Godfrey Foster, clerk, to the Queen ; and Percy IL French, assistant-clerk to the Mutine. THR ARMY. The following general order, relative to the army reserve force, has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of the Duke of Cambridge : " With reference to the royal warrant, dated War-office, 9th December, relative to the enrolment of any number of men, not exceeding 20,000, as a reserve force, his Royal Highness the General Com manding in Chief desirds that commanding officers will be particularly careful, when soldiers who have the service* required by the warrant, express, on being discharged, an intention of entering the re serve force, to insert a note to that effect on their parchment certificates, which will be an authority for the staff officer of pensioners to take the neces sary steps for having them attested for that force. A corresponding note is, of course, to be made on the discharge document.—By command, " G. A. WETHERALL, Adjt.-Gen." The various improvements at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, together with the additional buildings ordered by Government to be erected for the accom modation of the increased number of medical officers who are to be attached to the staff at that establish ment, have been completed by the contractor, Mr. Stump, from the plans authorised by Government, the whole of the works having been finished within two months from the date of the order being issued from the War-office. The additional buildings in clude a commodious army medical lecture theatre, together with dissecting and operating rooms, class rooms, and other offices, with separate rooms for the Use of the professor who is to preside over the esta blishment. The whole of the works have been com pleted to the satisfaction of the officers appointed to report on the same, and last week the new build ings were handed over to the Government by the contractor. The site of the new establishments is the open square in front of the principal fort. In addition to several improvements whim have recently been carried out at Chatham for the com fort of the troops of the line quartered at that gar rison the Major-General commanding has had the whole of the married non-commissioned officers and soldiers, who, with their wives, formerly occupied the barrack-rooms with the young unmarried sol diers, removed to quarters in the barracks by them selves, a portion of the barracks having been set' apart for that purpose. This arrangement has given very great satisfaction to the married troops, who can now occupy their several quarters with some regard to decency. From the reports and re presentations made it is understood to be the in tention of the authorities to propose a considerable sum in the army estimates for the present year, for the erection of quarters for the married troops at Chatham garrison, as has already been the case at Brompton barracks, where the married men of the Royal Engineers are all supplied with separate quarters which have recently been erected for them. During the past few weeks recruiting for the various East India depots at Chatham has been car ried on with great spirit, and numerous bodies of recruits, most of them being fine young men, have arrived at the garrison from the several recruiting districts at London, Bristol, Liverpool, and York. For the 20th Regiment alone upwards of 100 re cruits arrived at Chatham during the last week, and recruits are arriving almost daiiy for the other depots which have recruiting parties away. Not withstanding the reduction of the bounty to £4, the Royal Marines have lately received a number of recruits at head-quarters. The following medical officers, being the first portion of the additional staff ordered to be attached to Fort Pitt hospital, Chatham, have arrived at that establishment previously to being appointed to their various regiments :—J. L. Power, W. L. Robinson, J. R. Gausson, J. B. Hamilton, W. Cherry, S. E. Maunsell, P. W. Stafford, M. J. E. Fagan, M. J. Burke, R. Waters, E. J. Boulton, T. W. White, B. Austen, R Fergusson, W. H. Hill, G. E. Will, F. Falwassar, J. J. Chappell, 0. Owen, T. Quinlan, J. Stephenson, E. D. Tomlinson, W. Trail, N. Ad vern, and F. Ashley. The Perseverance, screw troopship, Commander Power, at Portsmouth. is reported ready for fur ther service on the 26th inst. The battalion of her Majesty's 9th (East Norfolk) Foot, consisting of 560 men, under the command of Colonel Bethune, will proceed by the Perseverance to Corfu, relieving there the let Battalion of 14th (Buckinghamshire) Foot, the Perseverance conveying the latter regi meut on to Jamaica, and returning to England from Jamaica with the headquarters of the 41st Foot. The Dublin City Artillery, in command of Major R. W. Brettingham, consisting of three captains, three subalterns, one surgeon, and 314 non-com missioned officers and privates, arrived at Saturday morning at Woolwich, and took up the quarters in the Royal Marine Barracks vacated on the preced ing day by the 9th Foot. The newly-arrived troops yesterday commenced the garrison duties by filling the guard and sentry posts in the dockyard for the day. At Boston, a point near the Scalp, commanding the entrances of the Welland and the Witham, has been selected for the erection of a battery. A Government inspector has visited the spot, but his report has not yet been received. Extract from the Royal Warrant :—" Any person who as a non-commissienod officer or soldier shall have com pleted the term of service for which he was originally en listed, not being less than 10 years in the Infantry, or 12 in the Cavalry, Artillery, or Royal Engineers, or who, after fire years' service, has been di sc h a r ge for any other cause than misconduct, without a permanent pension, may, pro vided he is approved and engages for such service by a do claration in the fOrm hereto annexed, be enrolled to serve in the reserve force." 'N87'121.72'1011 7 OF NAVAL ARC Li ITECT,S '1 he Institution of Naval Architects which has just been established is likely to he an important engine of Naval Reform. The sums which have been spent upon men-of-war by successive Boards of Admiralty are indeed portentous ; but, large as that expenditure has been, it would not have bean grudged had the country reaped a proportionate benefit. Last session Lord Clarence Paget in vain attempted to trace the money from the public purse to its destination in the shape of some armed vessel afloat or in frame. Even if he had succeeded, however, he would only have elicited the fact that the money spent by the Admiralty was wasted, be cause it was spent by men who did not understand their business. There is nothing more expensive than shipbuilding ; there is nothing in which science can do so much to produca economy. It is singular that ours is the only country in which men of war are planned by those who have not studied the principles of naval architecture. Sir Baldwin Walker, though an admirable naval officer on board ship, has no scientific training in the sub ject -matter over which he presides ; and yet ho is the Surveyor of the British Navy. No doubt ho is assisted by some men who have made naval archi tecture their study, but these men may be over ruled by the chief. But there is no more reason to believe a man capable of building a ship because he sails it, than there would be for assuming that the mechanic, because he makes a surgeon's instruments, must be able to use them. The truth of this principle is obvious, but for years it has been ignored by the Admiralty, and the sums of money squandered upon experiments and failures attest their folly. Instead of the Naval" Minister laying down distinctly the chat aster of vessel required, and confiding the execution of the order to a board of naval architects, he has been in the habit of call ing into their service sometimes an old admiral, sometimes a yachtsman, sometimes a naval archi tect. No attempt has been made to reduce the pro blem to a principle; success or failure has been a happy accident. Consistently with this no-principle system the ap pointments and promotions in the Royal dockyards were disposed of as if there were no such thing as a science of shipbuilding. Years ago Lord St. Vincent established a school of naval archi tects, in which the young men were regularly instructed in the principles of their business. His intention was obvious, but the spirit of corruption was too strong. The young men were branded with the nickname of " Academics," and until within a few years most of them have been com pelled to waste their energies an 1 talents in subor dinate positions. Scientific shipwrights are not of necessity good political agents, and until of late the keen politician was much more useful as the master shipwright of a dockyard than a good naval architect. His nominal business was to build men of-war; his real business was to see that the work men in the yard voted for the right candidate, Of late years, however, this has somewhat changed. and at present it will be found that several of the master shipwrights in the Royal dockyards were educated at the school of Lord St. Vincent, though they have only lately, after many years' neglect, been promoted. The change still to be made is that henceforth the Surveyor of the Navy shall be, not a naval officer, but a naval architect. Every one who knows anything of the Admiralty knows that the surveyorship which has lately been filled by a naval officer will not readily be surrendered to the naval architects. There is great jealousy between the two branches of the service. But it is obvious that until the naval architects can fill the post which is the natural summit of their profession, the proper weight will never be attached to their advice. If the Institution of Naval Architects does nothing else than confer fresh importance on its members, it will not be without most important effects in elevating their position. Again, the naval architects in her Majesty's dock yards are selected from the apprentices. These ap prentices are selected partly from boys nominated, and partly from boys who enter the yard by means of a competition. After the boys are in the yard they are obliged to pursue their studies—to ac quire a knowledge of the principles of shipbuild ing —and, in short, to become highly educated naval architects. This is a manifest improvement over the old system, by which boys were admitted into the yard because their relations were already there, or because their friends voted the right way, and obtained their promotion because they were obsequious partisans. But a system founded on merit must be administered justly, or it will infal libly tail. It seems that until within the last few days the examination of the apprentices was con ducted by local examiners, and that the result of such examination was complained of. Henceforth the examinations for admission at least are to be conducted by the Civil Service Commissioners, who will be absolutely free from all local prejudices, and will be acknowledged to be so. The only change still wanting is that the whole, instead of a portion, of the appointments should be open to com petition. But even as things stand at present, the dockyards may be supplied with a body of naval architects as able and highly cultivatal as any in the kingdom. Another important matter is, that the naval architects themselves should have the means of ex tending their it formation and modifying the prin ciples of shipbuilding to the changes which the growth of science has produced. By the establish ment of the Institution of Naval Architecture this means will now be supplied. Its efforts are to be directed not only to the improvement of ships, but of all that pertains to them. The naval architect,• as the person whose duty it is to consider the ship as a whole, is of course the principal. But he must be associated, and closely associated too, with the prac tical shipbuilder, the man of science, the seaman, the engineer, the mast-maker, the rigger, the sailmaker, the smith, and others, without whom no ship could ever be built or fitted out. Without association and correspondence among all this variety of experts, it is impossible that any man can draw the best plan of a ship, and it has been judiciously concluded that an institution which should concentrate all this diversity of applied skill would be of the ut most utility. Considering that many of the most eminent shipbuilders and engineers and naval officers have already joined the Institution, that Sir John Pakiugton and Lord Clarence Paget, and other politicians patronise it, tbere can be little doubt that its meetings and the papers road there will materially promote the science of naval archi tecture. Above all, the opinions freely expressed at the Institution as to the merits of the various naval works will not only prevent the Admiralty from being overruled by incompetent men, but will en sure that consideration as to the science of naval architecture which has been hitherto withheld. — Daily New:. DEATH OF A CRIMINAL LUNATIC.—On Friday morning Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at Bethlehem Hospital, on the body oeMaria Isabella Beckett, aged 69 years. Dr. Chas. Hood deposed that the deceased was tried at the Lent Assizes, at Aylesbury, Buckingham shire, for the wilful murder of her granddaughter, on the 9th March, 1857, and acquitted on the ground of insanity, but ordered to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. She was removed from Buckingham gaol, by a warrant from her Majesty, on the 24th of July, 1858. About a month ago she was taken ill with dropsy and bronchitis, and died on the 16th inst. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." COMMITTAL OF A SOLICITOR TO THE HOUSE OF CORILECTION.-111r. John Pringle, describing himself as a solicitor in the Temple, and at 3, King's-court, Lombard street, was brought before Mr. Hammill, at the Marylebone Police-court, on Friday, charged with most scandalous con duct, while in a state of intoxication, towards Miss Perkins, a lady residing at 81, Holles-street, Cavendish-square.— Mr. Hammill said that the prisoner's conduct had been of a most disgraceful nature, and he felt it his duty to inflict such a sentence as would be a real punishment, in order to show him that ladies were not to be insulted with impunity, and that they mast be protected from insults while passing quietly along the streets. He should not fine him for the offence, but sentence him to seven days' imprisonment Intl* House of Correction. The accused begged that a penalty might be imposed upon him in lieu of the sentence passed ; but the worthy magistrate refused to alter tho decision. On the arrival of the van, the prisoner was conveyed therein, with others, to his destination. _ _ _ , [AovEttrisEmENT.l—lt is ever a pleasing duty for a journalist to introduce to his readers some discovery calcu lated to benefit that vast portion of our fellow creatures which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies.

SARDINIA / • A letter from Turin, dated Jan .1`134,01 ,1 Z 4 :: .- Y • .‘.4 The telegraph will, long before iliftWaXeSo informed you of the change or1111Lgt"i Cavonr taking office ; what remains, fikretik taS me is to relate the ci rcums t ances which tecomparlied this change. As is usually the case in human affairs, in this, too, the great and, little are consickrably mixed up ; but I suppose it must be so on our paltry little planet., and s° ^^ : " not reason about it, but pro ceed to relate the facts. Lord John Russell addressed himself to the Pied montese Government to have Cavour seet to nig land, as he wished to have an inn rview with him, whether Congress should meet or not. In accord ance with this desire Cavour was called up to Tulin, and asked to undertake a mission explaining th• views of the Piedmontese Government to those of France and England. A Council of qinisters was held, at which Cavour was present. IL expressed his willingness to go, making the only conditions that Parliament should be immediately convoked. To this was objected the impossibility, or rather illegality, of this step. According to the law, the electoral lists must be prepared by the Sindic, or mayor, in connection with the Communal Councils. it is only at Milan that the communal elections are over; in Turin it only takes place today, and in other towns later. It is the Government which has reserved the right to itself to name the Scindics from among the com munal councillors, and a month's space is given for this process, which is not much considei ing that about 9,000 mayors hare to be mimed ; until the mayors were named, therefore, there could be no electoral list prepared and no Parliament convoked. In order to get out of this difficulty it was sug gested that the Communal Councils should make np the lists without waiting for the elections of the Sindics. The Ministry did not think itself em powered to give such a coup de canfrto its own law, published not more than two months ago. Still, negotiations were carried on, and, in order to settle the point, ono of the most prominent lawyers, Canis, was asked his opinion. The reply was, that although, strictly speaking, such a step would be illegal, yet, considering the circumstances, it was politically quite justifiable. The Ministry was not of this opinion and gave in its resignation, which was accepted. Nothing could read better, you will agree, than this serious self-sacrificing conduct of both parties. One of them, intimately convinced of the necessity of re-opening Parliament as soon as possible, makes this, which has become a general cry all over the country, his only condition to accept a difficult and, perhaps, thankless task. The other party objects to this, an impossibility, except by an infringement of oee of the fundamental laws of the State, and prefers to go out of office rather than consent to such an illegality. The only misfortune in the whole is, that tho French saying of " Il n'y a pas de /taros pour soli valet de chambre," is true here, too, and if one was to look close one might ferret out many little weak nesses on both sides, which are hidden by the arts of the toilette. Whether it is in this way or any other that the change has taken place, it is of great importance for more than one reason. It is themselves that the late Ministry have to thank for the position of their adversary. With every blunder they wade the her mit of Lori grew taller and taller, until he over shadowed altogether his opponents. Almost all over the country there was a general cry for him ; the more insupportable the Ministry became the more Cavour's popularity increased ; his nomination as plenipotentiary to the Congress was a first triumph, and must have shown the Ministry that its days were numbered. the critical position with regard to Centel Italy made it even more important to have a united and energetic Ministry. The fruit has been pronounced ripe and must be plucked now or never. In the late Ministry this met with considerable difficulties. With the exception of the Minister of the Interior the rest were as decided as ever to keep to their timid uncertain policy. The King, who had made up his mind to give up this policy, at first contem plated to intrust Ratazzi with the formation of a Ministry. He is the confidential adviser, and we almost say friend of the King, and seemed to be ready to undertake the task to send away his un willing colleagues, and act in the sense the King wished it. He would have been likewise ready to wave the legal objections to the meeting of Par liament. Not so his colleagues, who probably thought this a good opportunity to get out of an awkward position, and tendered their resignation. Whether the Minister of the Interior has romantic ideas about political friendship, or whether he thought it likewise wiser to retire before the com ing storm, the fact is that he elected not to aban don his colleagues in this circumstance, and to stand or fall with them. Whether Carour will be able to satisfy all the expectations which are connected with his name remains to be seen. The opposition against his pre decessors has been one of the chief agents in pro ducing his great popularity ; it excited, perhaps, exaggerated hopes, but one must take this evil with its advantages. Having been for years the chief agent in carrying out Victor Emmanuel's Italian policy, he is certainly the fittest man to continue it under the difficult circumstances. NAPLES. A letter from Naples, dated January 14, says : I have reported on several occasions lately the arr. st of iignor Pandola, son of a lady who sacrificed her precious birthright as an Englishwoman by marry ing a subject of this barbarous and imbecile Go vernment ; he now pays the penalty of a weakness which could renounce the moat glorious heritage of which any human being can boast. His father, as you have been informed, was persecuted into the death before him, and he, with many others, now awaits, not the judgment, but the caprice of the authorities in that prison which I pass almost daily in my walks. You have called special atten tion to his case, but it is as nothing in comparison with the innumerable and far more brutal cases which I have brought before your attention during the last five years. It would require a volume to detail the suffering of those who at this moment even are lingering, like young Pandola, in prison, or in relegation, or exile. My heart sickens with the reports which are brought to me from day to day, and I sometimes fear to weary the public by giving them to the world ; yet I should fail in my duty to justice and truth, and should incur the con demnation of my own conscience, did I not mako every effort to expose what is passing around me The position of the Neapolitans is the more hope less as the Government, by a long continuance of its infamous system, seems to xie to have lost all moral sensibility, to have fallen into a kind of moral torpidity, and to be incapable of distinguish ing between right and wrong. Thus one hears continually of violating law until illegality has be come the normal action of the Government, and the eye is familiarized with spectacles which would set England on fire. Take the following, which might have been witnessed in the early part of the week. There are four well-dressed persons, apparently gentlemen, at the head of a procession ; fire or six inspectors follow after them, perhaps 10 policemen after them, and as many gendarmes close the column. I hear, too, of the arrest of 37 of the most considerable persons in the Vallo, and of the expul sion of Giovanni Battista Ascheda from the king dom, notwithstanding the remonstrance of his consul, Signor Fasciotti, and of Count de Gropello. Aseheda has represented the house of Rocca in GiojA for ten years, and has favourable reports from the civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities oft he country, yet lie was brought up under arrest to Naples, and after five days' imprisonment was sent out of Naples. When will this state of things cease to exist, and how long will a G o d o f justice perm i t this tampering with the liberties and happiner , b o many millions of human beings under the d e e r - crated names of order and religion ?

It is a body which will form a good nucleus for a largo force, and unless Divine justice is suspended we shall see that use made of i t . The formation of such a force in a country which can fear no intervention, and could not resist it if made, amounti to a declaration that the govern ment places greater confidence hi the outcasts of society than in its own troops, and means to per severe iu its system of oppression and. repression. Another reflection occurs to me. Row far is it consistent with international courtesy that the Go vernment of the Two Sicilies should seek to enrol Swiss, and plant its agents on the botrders of their country at the very momeat when the Republic is endeavouring to wipe off the stain which it has received from propping up the desuotism of the south of Italy ? Again, Feldkirch unit Eregenz, the points from which these me:.cene rice are to start, are both in the Austrian doraiai( ,ns, and the fact demoubtrates that to the utmost (4 her power, and in every way short of actual jute rv.ention, Aus tria is engaged in supporting principle which, if triumphant, will for ever cru s h the liberties of Italy.
