TILE STATE OF OUR NAVY. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the l imes Sir,—l have been expecting almost daily to hear of some fresh emeutes similar to those on board the Princess Royal and Edgar, which this time last, year brought such disgrace on our naval service. Those lamentable instances of insubordination and mis management gave the public a slight insight into the alarming condition to which years of neglect and ill treatment have now brought the sailors of the Royal Navy. These mutinies, however, only fro re] tt.d 02glimpne of the real state of thinget When are men had been first condemned and then par doned, the captain reprimanded, the port admiral superseded, and the country had sighed or smiled over the ignorance and folly shown in every single stage and step of the Princess Royal affair, it ' ceased to he talked of, and people hoped they had heard the last of such misconduct and mismanage ment on the part of both officers and men. There have been scores of such erneutes on a smaller scale since then, but they have mostly occurred abroad, or when at home have been carefully hushed up and kept from the public ear. I shall be surprised if this winter passes over without another outbreak, and if one does occur, sir, mark my words, it will spread throughout every vessel in the service. It would perhaps be too strong to say that our fleets are in a state of chronic mutiny but I know at least that their crews are so disaffected and dissa tisfied that their deep, half-suppressed ill-humour may become open mutiny at any moment. This is well known at the Admiralty. Every captain and commander in the service knows it to his cost: It is only the good, easy, simple, all-paying public who are ignorant of the whole matter, who gave £15,000,000 to the navy this year, and who hear of iron frigates and read in your naval intelli gence of long lists of line-of-battle ships corning into port and going out, and who therefore think they have got a fleet in return for their money. They have got vessels enough, goodness knows ; but in all that really makes a fleet, good, contented, and well-disciplined crews, they may almost be said to be without a navy altogether. I have said this is known at the Admiralty, where they wring their hands in impotent dismay at a state of things which they fear to disclose, and have not the skill to amend. They hesitate and vacillate from one petty scheme to another. Now, with a great spurt and splutter, they proclaim a bounty, and drain, at vast expense, the very scum of the l i merchant service into the Navy. Next month they intend saving the country with a naval reserve, but the only reserve the public has yet seen has been that of the seamen to have anything to do with the Admiralty at all. Such spasmodic efforts, with a vague unsatisfactory circular now and then, are the only aids the Admiralty give us to remedy the now really alarming condition of the Navy. It is not three months since one of the chief officials at the " Board" told me frankly and blandly they did not know what on earth to do. I did not believe it then, nor do I believe it now. They blink and avoid the real grievances of the seamen—grievances which, I shame to say, have made our Royal Naval service a reproach through the world—grievances which afflict the men in every stage of their life, in the shape of bad pay, bad treatment, and bad food. lam not now writing hastily or angrily. lam well uw,o-o of thu gravity of these charges,•but I say it without fear of being disproved, that the sea men of our Royal Navy are, as a body, the worst paid, worst treated, and the worst fed class of sailors in the world. I know that there are plenty of good and kind captains—as a rule the great majority are always so. Some of these may possibly feel inclined to try and contradict my statement. If such there be, I challenge them to send with their reply to this letter the total num ber of punishments they have inflicted since their ships have been in commission, and the number of their men who have deserted and fled the service in the same time. Desertion ! Why, sir, the word gives no idea of the way in which men now risk life and limb to escape from their ships. They forfeit arrears of pay, chances of pension,years of good conduct ser vice—anything in the wide world, so they can only get away. It is not a year since that when, failing all other means of manning the Navy, a £lO bounty was offered to seamen. Well, nearly 11,000 were raised. The year is not yet out, and lam told that already nearly half have managed to escape ! Thus not only money is wasted, but men are driven out of their country's service, for they must always keep in foreign ships if they wish to avoid the almost certainty of apprehension and imprisonment on their return to England. Let us, however, leave the question of desertion to another time, and look for a moment how the men are paid. If you or I, sir, want a footman to wait at table, and be always sleek and comfortable, we must pay him well, and feed him well, too, or he gives us notice. But if the nation wants able sea men, then a very different scale of remuneration is proffered, and the country which prides itself on its race of blue-jackets is not ashamed to offer to grown men, who have spent years in learning their most hazardous calling, and who ship into the Navy to meet war risks and sea risks of every kind, the sum of 10s. a week ! The pay of an able sea man who ships for 10 years' continuous service is £2 9s. a month. Very few, however, do enter for 10 years, so that the average of able seamen's wages in the Navy is only about £2 2s. a month, which for the calendar month gives them, if any thing, rather less than 10s. a week. Occasionally the public see in your columns a letter from a country clergyman, detailing cases of agricultural distress, instanced by some labourer with eight or ten children who only earns Bs. a week. These cases (though the fact that the children nearly all earn something is generally kept out of sight) are sad enough, Heaven knows. But compare them with the case of the able seaman, who, in addition to being absent from his family for years together, has to encaunter every vicissitude of war, weather, and unhealthy climates, and support his family at home out of his miserable weekly allowance of 10s. "Oh ! but," say the Admiralty, there'sthe pension." The hope of pension, Sir, is one of the most gigantic and cruel frauds which any Government ever perpetrated on its seamen. Let us put it in plain figures, and see what this pension means. Every able seaman' can earn in the merchant service from £3 to £3 10s. and £4 a month ; in the Royal Navy he gets a little over £2. He has entered the service; but still he demurs to this reduction, and is told, " Why, my man, you don't get such high pay here, because we deduct for the pension you are to have after 20 years at sea." "Oh ! but," says Jack, " I hav'n't come for 20 years. I have only shipped for this commission, to take a turn with you, and see how I like it." But poor Jack has shipped, and is made to abide by the regulations of the service. If he has entered for continuous service, he is entitled to a pension after 20 years. If he has not so entered, as now very a ( a t o a d l . t s no Thus, t f a a r c c N o v r r d o o i n gg) t in e t r h e e t h s a e n a m o a n n e 's few do, he i s never en titl e d t o an y pension o othir o ofd n what he is entitled to for his labour, and nearly half what he can earn in easier and better services, is withheld from him to form pensions for somebody, but to which the poor fellow learns, to his dismay, he will have no claim whatever unless he enters for continuous service. Continuous service, too, for 20 years Twenty years ; before a seaman has b e en sis: months in a man-of-war he is scheming an d plotting night and day how he can manage to desert and fly, not only his ship, but the very land he was born in. Not one per cent. of the seamen in the Royal Navy serve or live to claim the paltry pension, to form which more than 30 per cent. is deducted from the wages of all. And this miserable fraud on the men, which would be un worthy the neediest firm, the Admiralty are so besotted as to think forms one of the attractions of the service. But I don't ask you, Sir, or the public, to believe mere assertions, Let any of your reuclorg yOl9lOll take the trouble to look into the Parliamentary papers giving the returns of floggings, desertions, and instances of insubordination which have oc curred in the Royal Navy during the past two years, and they will find such a state of affairs dis closed as is enough to startle the most unthinking. The captains of :,hips really dont know what to do with their crews. It follows, as a matter of course, when the Navy only pays little more than half of what sailors easily earn in the merchant service, that almost only the men who are worthless for the merchant service now join the Navy. Even these, however, are ;now getting scarce, and cap tains of crack frigates have to putup with a chance medley of longshore boatmen, or anybody else they can catch. I don't think I am speaking beyond the mark when I say that there is hardly a line-of battle ship in the service of which the captain can conscientiously say be has a hundred thorough good sailors on whom he can depend. If he has he may think his ship well manned, though much as he may depend on the men's . seamanship, I would not advise him to trust to their fidelity in the matter of not deserting. Every man in the Navy who is worth his salt knows he can double his pay by joining the merchant service. If he has not shipped for continuous service, and is well con ducted and steady, he waits till the ship is paid off, and bids adieu to the Navy for ever. If he is a continuous service man, in nine cases out of 10 he makes up his mind for desertion, and sooner or later he effects his object. There are not very many continuous service men in the Navy yet. When, some two years since, the Admiralty offered to let them take their discharge, and yield up all claim to pensions, 2,286 instantly jumped at the chance, and quitted the service for ever. Very fa vourable conditions were held out to these men to reenter the Coastgbard and Navy for five years, but of the 2,286 only 63 could be coaxed back again. Lord Clateocq Paget rises in the house, and, with his capital imitation of a sailor's frank ness, tells hon. members that sailors are curious beings, very thoughtless, like children, having no heed to the future, &c. But this is all a mistake of his lordship's. Sailors now look as sharply to the remuneration they are to receive for their services as any other .class of people, and the best proof of this is that they won't join the Navy. If the Admiralty could only conciliate the seamen's wives, the men would enter the Navy fast enough ; but they will never conciliate the wives till they pay their husband's properly. As it is now, sea man's wives will do anything rather than let . their husbands join the Royal Navy; , or, if they do join in some wild, drunken moment, they never rest till they get them out of it. by fair means or foul. But the wife's inducement to leave the service is quite unnecessary when once a man is in it. Do the Admiralty think it is nothing to have all the seamen's wives against them ? or can we ourselves wonder at the antipathy of the women when we know its reason ? Let us say Jack and Bill are both married sailors, with families. Bill keeps in the merchant service, where he can earn £3 10s. or £4 a-month. He leaves his wife a letter of allotment for £2 or £2 10s., and can always manage to be home, and smoke his pipe, and see the children, at least for a month in the year. It used to be so with Jack's wife, but in an unlucky moment Jack has been tempted to enter the Royal Navy, • and his letter of allotment drops at once from £2 or £2 los. to 255., and he is away from all sight of his family for three years at least, if not for four or five. Do you think, when that man returns, his wife will ever let him enter the Navy again ? or, do you think, if he is on a home station, and let ashore to see her for a couple of days once in six or nine months that she won't persuade him to desert ? As a matter of course, she does so persuade him, and as a matter of course he often tries, and at last succeeds. And yet captains sometimes wonder how it is that they can trap young unmarried men for a time into the service, but that the married ones never stay. But whether married or single, the same remedy would reconcile all. Let the Admiralty abolish the pen. sion fraud, and pay the men fairly for their labour while they are in the service. If they are wounded, or if they serve well and long, promote the good conduct men to pensions. Give the men, in short, not only a future of advancement to look forward to, but a fair day's wage, to encourage them to enter on the path. The money that has been spent in Boyal Commissions and inquiries as to how to man the Navy would have manned it long ago if given in addition to the men's pay. But how can we expect!to man the Navy when, as I have said, the men are not only badly paid, but badly treated, and badlyifed ? I, perhaps, have said enough to show that the men are not only badly paid but scarcely more than half paid. If you think this letter worthy a place in your columns, I can give yet stronger and more convincing proofs of the shameful inadequacy of the wages offered for the labour done, and show also how both the food and treatment are as bad almost as the pay. These are matters, however, which cannot .be discussed in a single letter, even of the inordinate length to which I have extended mine; but, for the sake of the int• portant interests at stake, I trust I may look for ward to another opportunity of directing public attention to the question. Unless the facts are fully and fairly laid before the public nothing will be done, and it is only through your columns that the public can be reached. Let this, sir, be my excuse for future intrusion, and for the length to which I have already trespassed on your valuable space. I enclose my card, and have the honour to remain, sir, yours most obediently, ONE WHO KNOWS THE SERVICE. London, Nov. 23. Sir,—l agree with your correspondent in to-day's paper, that the wages in the Navy should be raised and the pension system modified, but I do not ad mit that the writer is " one who knows the ser vice ;" and I shall proceed in a few lines to point out some glaring mistakes he has made ; and I beg to deprecate most strongly the exaggerated and bouncing tone of his letter. He says if a man enters the Navy for continuous service he is only entitled to a pension after 20 years. By Admiralty circu lar of the 14th of June, 1853, the continuous ser vice system was established, and under it men are entitled to pensions after 10 years' service. Your correspondent also says that "if the man has not so entered, he is never entitled to any pension at all." This is equally a blunder. If a man does not enter for continuous service he is entitled to a pension ,after 21 years' service from the age of 20 (a continuous service man would be entitled in 20 years after 18), besides pensions, of course, for wounds, &c., after short suvices. Thousands of men were so pensioned long before the continuous service system was heard of. Your correspondent also says that " there are not very many continuous service men in the Navy yet." The answer to this is, there are now 22,000 con tinuous service men in the navy, 9,000 boys (all continuous service), while the remaining men and officers in the fleet are only 23,000. In other words, there are more continuous service men than non continuance service men, excluding officers, in the Royal navy. Your correspondent also omits the various addi tions to pay in the navy, which, unfortunately for the popularity of the service, are paid as additions, separately in pennies and twopences, and thus lost sight of by " Jack" and by people who think " they know the service." Thus, a first-class seaman gun ner would have 4d. a-day additional, and if wear ing three badges another 3d. a-day, in addition to the L 2 9s. quoted by your correspondent as an A.B.'s pay in the navy. I will not trespass further on your valuable space except to say that I have no doubt, if the navy pay were properly readjusted, no great increase need be made to it to raise it nominally to what it often really is—as much as in the merchant service. As for the victuals in the navy, I know not how many blue-books could be quoted to disprove your correspondent's absurd statement that the men are badly fed. But 80,000 men could be found to con tradict him, and it is a fact that some £40,000 or £50,000 is paid annually to seamen in the navy for provisions allowed to them more than they can eat. L —I am, Sir, your obedient, servant, ONE WHO DOES KNOW. Somerset-house, Nov. 24. Sir,—Your correspondent, "One who knows the Service,'' states that an A.l3.'s wages in the mer £2 10s. to £4 ;" and montb. This gives The usual rate of again,a chantin os servicet ‘ erroneousf r o m a L v 3 e r l aOigsme. s p t o r f e r l o s sr from 0 " n. " a wages for A.B.'s to all parts of the world is £2 10s.

But the common rate is only page £ 210s7.17Ioafnnthexe Appendixmy to the Report of the authority, which is taken from Merchant Shipping Committee of 1860. As to the work, food, and lodging in the two The letter which we published in- our last im pression on the state of the Navy will have taken everybody in the kingdom by surprise. After adopting, as we fancied, every possible•measure for improving the condition of the sailor, after charging a dozen of Commissions in succession with the pro motion of this very object, and after lavishing with ungrudging hand innumerable millions on the naval service, we are told in plain terms that we are not much better off than in the days of the great mutiny at the Nore. The times of violence and brutality have, no doubt, gone by; but as far as regards discontent, not only deep-seated, but, what is worse, fairly justifiable, we are assured, on the word of " One Who Knows the Service," that the Navy is in as bad a state as it well could be. We are told, moreover, that every captain in the fleet knows this to be the fact; that the Admiralty knows it, and that it is known, in short, to every. body except the public. The hope of our corres pondent is that when the public at length comes to know it something will be done, and that a con fessed wrong and mest perilous evil will no longer be left without a remedy. It is exceedingly striking, and ought to be in structive also, to read the story now placed before the country. It is not the story of old times, though the results, unhappily, are pretty nearly as bad. There is no systematic tyranny on board ship ; on the contrary, it is acknowledged that the great majority of captains are good and kind. There is Lo impressment, and, consequently, there can be no men serving against their will. There is undoubtedly on the part of the public and the Legislature a genuine desire to secure the sailor good treatment, and we can most truly say that money has always been forthcoming for that pur pose without stint or grudge. Then, where is the grievance which could assume such terrible propor tions as the one here alleged ? We can put the case in half-a-dozen words. The sailor's eyes are opened. He has shared in the general enlightenment of the age. The schoolmaster in his roamings has come across even our seamen, and they are now fully competent to estimate the value of their labour, the nature of their treatment, and the scale of their pay. But the schoolmaster has not got as far as the Admiralty, and half the regulations determin ing the condition of the sailor are framed upon principles fitted only for times gone by. No heed has been taken of the rapid progress of the nation, involving the particular progress of all classes of society. No sufficient thought has been given to the fact that the man-of-war's man can now see in the merchant service a mirror of seafaring life, and that he is fully competent to compare his pay and his privileges with those at the command of his equals in another branch of his calling. Above all, it has been forgotten that the sailor of 1860 is no longer the sailor of 1800—a careless, impulsive, half-childish being,—but a shrewd, calculating man, who can very quickly find out when he is well off or otherwise, and who is not disposed to submit with patience to the consequences even of his own mistakes. One of these mistakes he discovers that he has made in shipping on board a man-of-war. If he had gone aboard a merchantman, he would, ac cording to his own reckoning, have been far better off, and kis wife too ; so he chafes under his work, his treatment, and his wage, till at length he be comes chronically insubordinate, or seizes the first opportunity to " run." That is the view of the case opened by our correspondent's letter. It shows the altered character of the modern sailor that the great grievance of all is the pay, and not so much the pay in itself as the pay when compared with that of other seamen. To this it is replied that the pension restores the balance of the account ; and to that, again, the sailor rejoins that he does not choose to accept the condition. The deduction is too heavy and the prospect too remote. He is not disposed to forego 30 per cent. of his natural earn ings in order that he may lay up a little provision, to be possibly available 20 years later, and who can wonder at him ? Would such terms be taken in any other trade ? Would a carter, a bricklayer, or a weaver, accept wages one-third or so below the current rate for the sake of a billet on a benefit asylum when he shall be a score of years older Of course, he would not. A man in the prime of youth considers age immeasurably distant, and looks only to time present. Add a shilling a week to the market rate of pay, and you may get the pick of a trade. Deduct a shilling, and all the pictures you can draw of a contingent gratuity will not bring an offer to your door. We have only to look to the merchant service to see the principle in actual operation. There, excepting under a few great firms or companies, the sailor can look for very little consideration. He may be even inhu manly or barbarously used, and when his time is up and his wages paid he may starve, for anything his late employers care about him. But the wages are full wages. They enable a seaman to make a good deal of money, and leave his wife with a good many comforts. So he and his wife are both of one mind in the matter, and the result is that any merchantman can ship as many good sailors as are wanted at short notice, while a man-of-war, even under a popular captain, may lie six months in harbour for want of hands. We have given the chief prominence to this ques tion of pay because it really appears to lie at the root of the whole matter. Our correspondent in timates, indeed, that the food of the men is bad also, and this will probably appear to the public the strangest part of the whole story. We can understand the insufficient scale of wages arising out of the old theory of pensions; but, if there was anything which we believed we had really bespoken and paid for, it was good fare for our seamen. On this, however, we say no more at pre sent, nor can the point, we imagine, be so material as that to which we have referred, for bad fare is certainly common enough in the merchant service, and yet the merchant service never lacks hands. Those risks, like any other risk, will always be met for the sake of pay. Pay, present pay, is the great consideration which commands service. Give the highest wages and you will get the best men. There may be a dozen other things telling in favour of your offer, but, as a general rule, they will not be taken into account. Few men in the class from which sailors are taken will allow an immediate bargain to be influenced by considerations which can only be operative after 20 years' interval. In short, they would rather surrender the chance of a pension, and receive their full share of pay. All this, it will be confessed, is easily intelligible ; but how, then, it will he asked, is the Navy manned at all ? Our correspondent asserts that it is only manned by sailors who for the most part are not the best of their class, and who are for the most part again, heartily sick of their bargain. Hence all the disturbances and desertions of which we lately heard so much. The men are in the service, but they are eager to be quit of it. They have their eyes about them, and, like all other Englishmen, they have learnt to talk and think of their con dition. They think they have made a bad bargain, and that for hard work and skilled labour they get little pay and less liberty. F rom suc h impressions discontent and disaffection ensue only too naturally, and there, as we are assured, we have a picture of the British Navy. We should rejoice to find that amore agreeable view of things co u ld be truthfully given, but if what is stated is really the case it behoves us to apply the needful remedies without loss of time. The " Green Dragon" of the 3d Buffs, granted in 1707, was one of the royal supporters of Queen Eliza beth, in whose reign the regiment was formed out of the loyal London citizens, and it possessed the peculiar privi lege of marching through the streets of the City with music playing and colours flying. When the 31st were embodied, the 3d received the popular appellation of the " Old Buffs," by way of distinction to the "Young Buffs :" both, how ever, derived their name from their accoutrements of buf falo leather. The " Bold Fifth" is a soubriquet of long standing ; they wore a red and white feather, and aubse • quently a white plume, in honour of their rout of the French Grenadiers at Morne Fortune, in the West Indies, when their success was so complete that every man was able to furnish his cap with the white plumes of the enemy.—Once a Week.

The crop of candidates for the representation o f this borough in Parliament appears to be inexhaus tible. On Saturday a new aspirant aK,eared in the field—Mr. Walter Meller—who at OD ce has reached a stage to which the majority of predecessors have not yet attained—the issue r,f an address to the electors. In that document, v. hich is dated from Clapham-common, Mr. MelJer states that he is pos sessed of considerable pror.)erty within the borough, and feels much sympathy with local interests. The address does not afford a very distinct outline of Mr. Meller's political opinions, beyond containing the dictum thPA " ultra Toryism is dead, and the politics of tie Manchester school are a mockery," which would seem to imply that he is what is calked a . Liberal-Conservative. The chief ground ta.l7.en by Mr. Meller is the necessity for maintaining the sanctity of the Sabbath, and he,also professeshimself a warm advocate of extended popular education. This gentleman, notwithstanding his local interest, does not appear to be at all known in the borough, and is not at all likely to take any real part in the folthcominc , contest. The name of Lord Ranelagh has been placed before the electors for some days, and he is still announced as a Conservative candi didate, but it is not believed that there is any se rious intention on his part o f se eking the suffrages of the cons tit uency. T he contest is expected to lie betw een M r. S cove ll and Mr. Layard, and will certainly b e a h ar d-f oug ht one , th e first named gentlem an locally conn ec t e d , and having had the advantage of some days' sta r t i n canvassing, and the retirement of mr.

M la r r . , desirous of being represented in Parliament by a man with claims to other than local distinc tion. The third candidate, Mr. H. Fawcett, who! has enlisted a large amount of sympathy and support during his tau through the borough, is not likely to proceed to a poll, as the mere force of spoken addresses, without the aid of a com mittee or any of the usual organization of election tactics, can hardly be expected to obtain a majority of votes in so large a borough as Southwark. Mr. Layard made his first public appearance before the electors on Saturday night at the Horse Repository, near the Elephant and Castle. The attendance comprised between 3,000 and 4,000 persons, but the partisans of Mr. Scovell mustered so strongly, and were so demonstrative in cheering their favourite and groaning at his opponent that the proceedings were little better than dumb show, it being fully 20 minutes before Mr. Layard could utter one word that could be heard by any one but those who immediately surrounded him. Mr. LAYARD, however, proceeded with his ad dress, and, amid a scene of uproar and turbulent confusion seldom equalled even at a Southwark election, contrived at intervals to state his views upon various points of domestic and foreign policy. A vote approving Mr. Layard's claim to repre sent the borough was proposed and carried amid great disorder. Mr. H. FAWCETT, who was by Mr. Layard's side, proposed that a general meeting of the electors should be speedily summoned, in order to decide between the claims of Mr. Layard and his own, undertaking to retire if the decision should be against himself. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, SATURDAY NIGHT: The leaders of the Conservative party have met, and come to a resolution not to take any part in the ensuing contest for the vacant seat. The reso lution states that in the absence of a Conservative candidate to supply the present vacancy, it is of the utmost importance that the Conservative electors abstain altogether from voting at the ensuing elec tion. But the electors generally are invited, after the present contest is over, to sign a requisition to Mr. William Cuthbert to become a candidate at the next general election. The field is now, therefore, in the possession of the three Liberals, and if the Conservatives would abstain from voting in any numbers, which they . will not, the ensuing election might register the relative strength of the three sections of the Liberal body who have appealed to the electors. Mr. Somerset Beaumont is a moderate Liberal, with no very marked views upon Parliamentary reform. He is brother of the Whig member for South Nor thumberland, and the Tory paper here asserts that Lord Palmerston is about to make the latter gentle ! man a peer; Mr. P. Carstairs, who gives a very qualified support to Mr. John Bright's programme, is a Dissenter, and a Financial Reformer; Mr. P. A. Taylor, the third candidate, supports manhood suffrage and the " Nationalities." Mr. Beaumont will probably poll 2,000 votes, Mr. Carstairs from 1,200 to 1,400, Mr. Taylor from 600 to 700. At any rate, that appears to be the relative position of parties. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. METROPOLITAN. At the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, on Satur day, a special jury was empanelled to assess the amount of compensation to be awarded in respect of several houses in the Edgware-road, the corner of Chapel-street required for the Metropolitan Railway. Evidence was given on the part of the claimants as to the value of the property, and after the case on the part of the company was opened a verdict by consent was taken for the sum of £lO,OOO. NEWCASTLE, DERWENT, AND WEAR DALE. On Friday a public meeting was held in the Guildhall, Newcastle, to take into consideration the best means of providing railway communication from that town to the populous district of the val ley of the Derwent. The Mayor (Mr. Ingledew) presided. Mr. J. H. HINDE asked the support of the meet ing to a scheme for the formation of a railway from Newcastle by the valley of the Derwent to the Con sett Works, thence to the great Towlaw Ironworks, by Bishop Auckland, to a point near West Auck land, where it would form a junction with the South Durham and Lancashire line. Their object was twofold—first, to afford facilities for the local traffic of the Valley of the Derwent and Consett Ironworks ' • and, secondly, to open out a through line from Newcastle to the western coast of the kingdom. They intended to make their shipping place on the new quay at Gateshead, immediately opposite Newcastle. They thought it most desirable that there should be a station in the heart of the town of Newcastle, and that a short branch should form a junction with the Newcastle and Carlisle line immediately outside the central station. They would carry the line directly through to Bishop Auckland, and thence to a junction with the South Durham and Lancashire, near West Auckland. The crossing of the Tyne at Redheugh and the carrying of the line through Gateshead would be very costly. He believed that the capital which they would require would be about £400,000. It would be necessary that £300,000 of that, or thereabouts , should be subscribed before they went to Par odor o ur _ d unanimously. e ce i n liament ; and he could almost say that £200,000 9f that would be raised elsewhere, provided that t n h i ßt s he e n s o e s lc i u g ht h ei m b o n e e : b r i h uy o favourod t chr of t e i by i n s g e h h ot w h s e c e h d o e t m h e e r v thei r e r g e O a n c fi pJEDBURGR hp a. 1 t n nhi c on o w n s tw e a g ouu u wn p a n d ; u: the.r ne e dbu r g h a gree m ent n a i with hva y the Company its affairs.

There was no attempt whatever at any mill. tary display, and not even a single policeman was present. The Ncottish Central train was punctual to its time, and entered the station exactly at ten Iminutes to fo u r o' c lock. Many of the passengers who had ecr.ne in at the intermediate stations were ignorant that the Empress Eugenie was in the train alon.g with them, and expressed great asto nishment on hearing the cheers which arose as soon as the. train stopped. Small as was the crowd of spectators, her imperial Majesty was received Shortly after her ies a a r r r i - d iva g l e , n h tl e e r m • with great eithusiasm and hearty huzzahs, which she repeatedly acknowledged with a bow and a edrtitihheaetl ladies m w b ase number o n f l only persons s h o c n n s the bei n E g m g p r r a e d s u s al had l thrjor,gh the terminus to a cab in waiting outside, s am : s a es n i ne l i mt e c i am, immediately drove to the Royal George Hotel. left the hotel and visited the town. It may be l e i n "j o e f stY her ae s c ul nl W: reached the top of Athole-street that her Majesty was r ecognised; something like a crowd then augmented until the hotel was reached. Early on Friday morning much anxiety was ma nifested as to the Empress's intended route, but nothing definite could for some time be ascertained. The Lord Provost and magistrates met at 10 o'clock a.m., and agreed to present a congratulatory address to the Empress, which, in the course of the fore noon, was delivered to the gentlemen of her Ma jesty's suite to be transmitted to the Empress. Shortly afterwards, a member of her Majesty's suite waited on the Lord Provost, thanking him and the other magistrates, on behalf of the Empress, for their address and kind attention. In the forenoon onlei Ace°mranied by her suite, she walked the Marquis of Breadalbane visited the Empress at the Royal George Hotel: Aliout 12 o'clock it became known that her Majesty was to leave for Dunkeld by the one o'clock p.m. train, and a very large crowd collected at the hotel to witness her Majesty's de partura. On the Empress making her appearance at the - hotel door she was received with enthusiastic ' l 4:'fliS, which she politely acknowledged: -- Mean - Ne7i fe, at the railway station large groups of persbus • • had assembled, and on the train leaving the station the Empress was again loudly cheered. On leaving Dunkeld, it is understood that the Empress will proceed to TaymouthCastle,the seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane. (From yesterday's lifoniteur.) We are happy tobe able to announce a perceptible amelioration in the health of the Empress. Her Majesty, in spite of her extreme desire to keep her incoymto, has been everywhere recognised and wel comed with sentiments of the most respectful sym pathy. At Edinburgh the Provost presented an ad dress to her, and a Scotch regiment marched in front of the hotel in which she was staying, while the military band played the air "Reine Hortense," and the crowd that had assembled from all quarters loudly cheered. VIE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA. Her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Austria left Plymouth on Saturday morning in the Victoria and Albert royal yacht for Madeira, attended by the steam yacht Osborne. These vessels steamed out of Devonport Harbour shortly after eight o'clock, the Victoria and Albert having the Austrian standard flying at the main, and they were saluted on their passage out by her Majesty's ships Impregnable, Cambridge, &c. It is thought that the Victoria and Albert will accomplish the run to Madeira in four days. It has been represented that her Imperial Ma jesty did not land whilst at Devonport , .rt, but this is a mistake. The Empress and her suite landed on Friday afternoon at Crenell, and drove round the beautiful grounds of Mount Edgcumbe-park, at tended by Lord Valletort on horseback, after which her Majesty visited Mount Edgcumbe-house, where sbe was received by Lady Mount Edgcumbe and Lady Katherine Valletort. The Hon. George Edg cumbe, Mrs. George Edgcumbe, and the Misses Edgcumbe were also in the house during her Im perial Majesty's visit. The Empress, although evidently in ill-health, is not so ill as to be inter dicted from conversation and exercise, as has been represented. She appeared very animated, and evidently enjoyed her visit to Mount Edgcumbe. While the Empress was in Devonport harbour she was waited on by Count Apponyi, the Austrian Ambassador ; Admiral Sir H. Stewart, the Com mander-in-Chief at Devonport ; and Major-General Hutchinson, the Commander-in-Chief of the western district. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. " OUR WOUNDED COUNTRYMEN." Yesterday morning 27 members of the quondam Pro-Papal Irish Brigade, said to have been wounded somewhere or another during the recent brief and inglorious campaign under General La moriciere, arrived in Dublin by the Holyhead steamer, and, of course, met with a warm and cheering reception from the sympathisers with the " holy cause" in which they had embarked. A Paris correspondent of the News narrates the fol lowing touching incidents in connexion with the arrival and sojourn of these heroes in the French capital : " On Saturday morning they were visited by a noble specimen of our Gaelic brothers of the Ca ledonian Highlands,—a Scottish gentleman, whose kind, affectionate, and fraternal attentions to our countrymen will long be gratefully remembered. Mr. Alexander Grey, the gentleman in question, received and treated our mon as brothers ; and at tired in Highland costume, escorted them at his expense in cabriolets to the various public institu tions, buildings, places of interest, &e., in Paris. Literally, Mr. Grey never parted from them till they left the terminus en route for Havre. We give the name of this largelearted Highland gen tleman to the grateful regards of the Irish nation, confident that his conduct will serve to link still more closely the kindred peoples of Fitzpatrick, mthe a rhtii ng,heasut r h a t n i r k e yv,eirLsaia't e j d oh th n e Mitchell,m Questionen. i r llannlvUtdiha.ne paid; Scotia and Hibernia.
