VISIT OF ME PRINCE CONSORT TO 2WE GREA.2' BAST.ERN. HOLYHEAD, OCT. 17. Yesterday morning b is Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Duke of Newcastle, Admiral Sir George Seymour, and Col. Ponsonby, paid an early visit to the Great Eastern, in Holy head harbour. The report that it was the intention of her Majesty to inspect the ship had been so widely spread and generally believed in that it was not until the Royal train actually reached its desti nation that visitors were fairly undeceived. The absence of her Majesty was of course felt as a great disappointment, though it seemed to make no dif ference. His Royal Highness quitted Penrhyn Castle at about seven o'clock in the morning. The day was dull and threatening, with a kind of half dawn through the wet clouds which hung in dense masses over the peaks of Snowdon, and augured badly for the weather. The party arrived at Bangor rather earlier than was expected, but the railway arrangenients were of course in order, and in a few minutes the Royal train was ready. The Marquis of Chandos, the chairman of the London and North- Western ; Mr. Cawkwell, the general manager, Mr. Binger, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Worsdell were at Bangor to receive his Royal Highness, and travelled with the Royal train to Holyhead. The run through he wild island of Anglesey was soon made, and a little after half-past eight o'clock Holyhead was reached. Comparatively speaking, there were but few persons at the station ; for, to a certain extent, the fact that her Majesty would not come was more or less suspected. AT the pier•head the Despatch, one of the boats of the Liverpool Steam-tug Company, was in wait ing, with Mr. Campbell, the chairman of the Great Ship Company, and Mr. Bold, one of the managing directors, on board. By these gentlemen the Prince was received at the pier, and immediately em barked. All the ships in the harbour were "dressed,"theHastings and other men-of-war manned yards, and the former fired a Royal salute, which echoed from the cliffs of the headland with a thun dering boom. His Royal. Highness did not come at once on board the ship, but remained on the steam tug, which moved easily round and round the. colos sal bulk of the Great Eastern, so as to affcrd the Prince an opportunity of inspecting, it from every point of view. Under the bows the Prince seemed especially struck with the sharpness and fineness of her lines, and here the little tug remained some time. The vessel then steamed round to the star board gangway, where Captain Harrison, and Mr. Prowse, the chief officer, were in waiting. Capt. Harrison received his Royal Highness, and con- ducted him up through the two lower compartments to the quarter-deck, where Mr. Kett, the second officer, Mr. M'Lennan, the chief engineer, and Cap tain Lay, the paymaster, and all the officers of the executive and engineering staff of the vessel, were standing. Captain Mends, of the flastings, and the officers of her Majesty's ships in harbour, with a few visitors from shore, were also present; but the number was, of course, very limited. Accom panied by the Captain and managing directors as before (with Mr. Brereton and Mr. Jacomb, as the late Mr. Brunel's representatives), the Prince then proceeded to inspect the ship, first going to the wheel-house, in which a long stay was made, and where Captain Harrison briefly explained the nature of the alterations which would be necessary in the tiller chains to get a greater amount of purchase on the rudder. From this the party proceeded_along the deck forward, where the Prince inspected one of the steam cranes, asked how it worked, and the amount of saving it effected in time and labour. In the extreme bow of the ship a stay of some time was made, while his Royal Highness from that point scanned the masts and rigging and the im mense expanse of deck,apparently with the greatest interest and surprise. The Grand Saloon was next visited, and of course admired ; afterwards the cooling galleys near the paddles, and so on through the first and second dining saloons. In the latter, Mr. Campbell's cabin, a vary pretty and tasteful one, was inspected, in which the Prince made a short stay, conversing with the Chairman, next entering one of the first-class sleeping berths, with the space and lightness of which he expressed him- self much pleased. From this the party proceeded to the after saloon, past the ship's post-office and purser's departments, and so on Co the deck again. Here his Royal Highness expressed a wish to see the chief engines, and accordingly the whole party descended to the paddle engine -room, and thence down the ladders to the starting platform between the massive cylinders. From this point * the best view of the gigantic paddle machinery is to be gained both when at rest and in full motion ; and his Royal Highness remained•some time, asking questions con nected with the general working and power of the engines, consumption of coal, &e. The auxiliary engines to the paddles for fire hose and washing decks and working the capstan were next examined, and from this point the Prince went through the tunnel of communication to the screw engine-room right aft, and remained on the starting platform for a few minutes making a general inspection of this machinery, and afterwards of the auxiliary screw engines. After a stay of a few minutes here he again came on deck, walked round the ship, and ascended to the bridge, where Capt. Harrison worked and explained the steering apparatus of Mr. Lungley, with the simplicity and efficiency of which the Prince expressed himself much pleased. A short stay was made on the paddle-boxes, where Mr. Campbell presented a beautiful set of stereoscopic views of the ship which had been taken for presen tation by Mr. Nottage, of the London Stereoscopic Company. His Royal Highness expressed himself pleased with the minuteness of detail and excellent effect of these views, and said he was glad to retain so faithful a record of the various departments of the great ship. A short visit was lastly paid to Capt. Harrison's cabin, after which the Prince prepared to take his leave, having expended an hour in his in spection of the vessel. The Royal visitor was accom panied to the gangway by Mr. Campbell, Mr. Bold, and Capt. Harrison, the baud of the ship playing the National Anthem, which was almost drowned in the hearty cheers which were given by the ship's crew as the tug steamed off. By the time the Prince crossed, at a little before 10, Holyhead harbour was well filled with boats, and between dressed ships, royal salutes, manned yards, and cheering, the scene was animated enough. The Prince landed at the pier head of the inner harbour, and immediately entered the special train, which started at about 10 o'clock for Bangor. Before the train had well left the great ship was resounding fore and aft with the din of hammers, and the %wool' decks rather resembled the fitting shop of a great manufactory than part of a ship which is expected, or rather hoped, to start soon for her wean trip. The prepa rations for going to sea are still urging forward, but beyond the evidence of an ultimate destination which is afforded by these appearances it is hard to say what is really meant. The exact time for the departure of the vessel for America still seems as undecided as ever. It has been stated over and over again that Monday, the 24th inst., or the 27th at latest, was positively to be the day for starting ; but we should be deceiving our readers if we did not dissuade them from enter taining any expectation of this kind. The day when the Great Eastern will really leave these shores rests with the Board of Trade, and is only with the company in so !hr as they exert thcmselyes to com ply with tl e very proper requirements which the Board of Trade demand for the safety of any pat sengcrs the Great Eastern may carry. That the number of these same passengers will be limited in the extreme on the occasion of the first voyage seems beyond a doubt. Rightly or wrongly, the public evidently entertain a strong wish to see this great experiment fairly tested by the only test by which the merits of the vessel can be judged—areal trip across the Atlantic and back. Of course, before e Great Eastern leilves, the Board of Trade are deerrnined to see that every precaution is adopted to secure the safely °lithe - ship and those on board; but even with this quillified guarantee pas s e ngers will prefer to wait „ma judge for themselves what the ship can do on kregular voyage. The coasting trial trips which have asp' yet been made can no more be fairly taken as a criterion of what the Great Ship will do in an Atlantic gale than if we Were to judge from a run at the measured mile what a vessel could effect off the Cape of Goad Hope. That the Great Eastern will never pitch heavily seems to be belisved on all sides; that she will roll, and, to a certain extent deeply, appears equally undoubted, though the motion will be slow and steady. Some time back we informed our readers of the principal requirements of the 13oard'of Trade. Very many of these still remain to be done. Done they must and will be before the ship leaves ; but we m:ntion the fact that they still have to be effected as a reason for our belief that the Great Ship can not and is not likely to start before the middle or end of next month, if she leaves this winter. The patches which were so unwisely put on the forward boilers before the ship left Portland are now being removed, and replaced with entirely new plates. The india-rubto:r packing between the lower flange of the iron- masts is to be done away with, and its place supplied With hornbeam. This also is to be done `at .Holyhead, and will of course take tithe to pared.. No bilge and feed pumps have been fitted to the main machinery, - which is still dependent on its feed-water being sup plied by the donkey engines. This, as we have before pointed out, is a most objectionable arrange ment, as, in case of the donkeys breaking down (and, in spite of every cam, on both trial trips they have always done so), the. engines must Come to a dead stand. As this is a matter which can only affect the speed of the ship, and not in any de gree interfere with its safety, the company, of course, have a right to their own way; but if they have any regard to the commercial success of the Great Eastern they would be wise to adopt, every precaution against the possibility of a slow voyage, It is urged, and with truth, that to fit these feed. pumps now would require a delay of at least two or three months, and that the vessel: could not then start for America before next spring. Those best acquainted with the internal arrangements of the ship think that such a delay would be of great ad vantage to the future success of the vessel, as afford ing time for a thorough administrative organisation of all its departments. This at present is much needed, and until the vessel is solely and entirely given over to the charge, of Capt. Harrison and the officers under him it can scarcely be looked for. One of the chief requirements of the Board is that fire-pumps shall be fitted to the auxiliary engines of the screw, and to do this will require such an amount of time and labour that it is most probable that two powerful hand-pumps will eventually 'be supplied instead. It is rumoured, indeed, that at some remote period two such hand-pumps were put on board, but of their whereabouts at present none can tell. These, with the fitting of extra boats, communication in case of accident with all the stoke-holes, better ventilation of the ship in some places apportioned to the crew, &c., are the main eone.itions insisted on by the Board of Trade before the vessel can receive her passenger certificate; and to do these as they ought to be done will reqUire a delay which makes it absurd to expect that the Great Eastern can possibly leave England during this month. There is ono precaution, however, which, thou g h no t requ i re d b y th e B oar d, i s so imperatively n ecessary that unless it is adopted not even sailors would venture now to start for America in the Great Eastern. We mean, of course, precaution against cold. Only those who know what a North American winter is, or who have been off the Banks of Newfoundland towards the end of November, Can appreciate the extreme, severity of the cold which prevails there. Yet throughout the whole .of the Great Eastern there is not yet a single stove or hot-air pipe fitted to prevent either crew or passengers from_ almost freezing in such weather. It is true that these will all be put up.before thg vessel leaves, but this is only an additional element of delay, and one-which -makes it more_cortain that the ship cannot leave at the time stated. Now as to the passage across, and the rate of spud which may be fairly expected. The results of the last trial trip have been carefully weighed, so that a fair approximation of her future success in point of steaming now can perhaps be better given than during the hurry and confusion of the late trial trips. The greatest number of revolutions obtained dur ing the last trial to this port was 11 from the paddle and 41 from the screw engines, and at this the Great Eastern went, with her trysails set, 15 knots, or very nearly 17' statute miles an hour. Without the aid of the trysail s it i s poss i ble the spee d wou ld not have been mor e th an 14 knots—if i n d ee d it h a d reached as high. M'Lennan, th e company's chief engineer, than whom with r egar d to the sh i p i t wou ld b e difficult to quote a b e tt er authority, i s o f op i n i on that in working orde r th e pa d dles w ill go 12 an d the screw 43 to 41 revolutions a minute. This, ac cording to the calculations, which give a certain amount of speed for a certain number of revolutions, yields a nominal rate of 18 knots an hour. From this, however, has to b e d educted t h e " s li p " or yield of the water to the force of the screw and paddles, which varies with the wind or other causes from 18 to 22 per cent. loss of power. Taking the mean of this loss at 20 per cent., it follows that the average rate of the Great Eastern's steaming ought to be at about 141 knots, or more than 16 miles an hour. There will, no doubt, be many days and even voyages when her rate of speed throughout may average 16 knots, or almost 19 miles an hour, but, as far as can yet be ascertained from the re sults of the last trial trip, her speed in ocean-going voyages will not exceed the average we have stated, namely, from 14 to 144- knots. If the Great Eastern go to sea next spring, her run is likely to be one of great success, for by that time both ship and engines will be in full working order, which they mos t cer t a i n ly are not now. If, on the contrary, h er t r ip across the Atlantic is hurried forward, it is more than pro bable that the whole jqurney will prove a failure in speed. The engineers will fear, and most reason ' ably fear, to drive, the engines overmuch, for a break-down within 10 miles of land, and a break ! down in the middle of the Atlantic in a winter's gale are widely different things; and the vessel labouring only for a single day in a heavy sea will soon find out the weakest point in her engines. The paddle-engines are fitted with what is termed ~.... ..---- -------- a " marme-„m Euler, which, when a heavy wave forces round the paddles at great speed, instantly shuts off the steam till the machinery slackens down to the rate at which the governor is regulated; yet even with the aid of this governor (which by the way is not yet connected with the machinery) every one can understand how engines strain when, after flying round at 14, or perhaps 15 revolutions a minute, they are suddenly brought up to five or six. This is the kind of labour which tests ships' engines to the very utmost. This is the test which the Great Eastern has not yet had, and which when it comes will try bath the piston and air pump rods of the paddle-engine to the very utmost. The trial showed that with an average amount of fair weather, for a vessel of such magnitude, her engines worked well and easily, but as the sea-going qualities of the Great E as t ern canno t b e f a i r l y judged by a coasting voyage, so also machinery of such size and power requires a proportionate amount of rough work to test it fully axed satisfactorily. This test, as we have said, it has not yet undergone, and can only meet with in an ocean voyage—and for an ocean voyage the Great Eastern is not yet ready. Apparently there has been some miscalculation as to the size of her boilers to generate the steam power required, for, though the boilers hare done their duty admirably, it is believed that at on un t orseel aoefaiNtnrlilnte ig, Southampton. b ea o n ilei fi .s nd are em c i , full steaming the screw and paddle engines mayt that in a great measure, due to the fact ) g lo u y al mei t i o t is'ourppilnyo.re 'Phis steam than the as it is called.

In the meantime she still remains a show ship at Holyhead, viSited daily by thousands and thousands. Almost every hour bring s in heavily laden passenger trains. The uncomfortable looking fishing village of Holyhead is full to repletion, and woe betide the unlucky voy ageur w h o comes down by the night train in the expectation of getting a bed. Paltry little dens and roadside alehouses command a price for dingy accommodation which would make our best London houses stare. The daily number of visitors is greater now than ever it was at Portland, and all the chief, seaports of the United Kingdom where the Great Eastern could stay, and very many also where she could not, are clamorous in their solicitations and invitations to get her round. On Wednesday the directors of the North- Western Railway entertain the directors of the Great Ship Company at a grand banquet at Holy- . head, - at which -a number of celebrities are to be • present. - On the same day at 1 o'clock an immense blast is to be fired at Holyhead. The charge or -powder will be nearly 6,0001 h., stowed in three chambers, and a face of cliff 100 feet high by 120 wide is ex peetid to be dislodged in a mass of no less than 30,000 tons. This stone is to be used in the con struction of the breakwater. An accident, which might have been attended with serious consequences, occurred to the 3 o'clock express from Holyhead, and delayed its arrival in town more than an hour and a half. By some in advertence on the part of the engine driver, the' train overran the Conway station and dashed into a train of empty carriages which were being shunted across the line. The shock was rather severe, and two or three of the empty carriages were broken and thrown off the line. Some one or two of the passengers in the express were cut and bruised, and others a good deal shaken, though none, we believe, so much so as to prevent their continuing their route when the line was cleared of the broken carriages, after a delay of nearly an hour. Just as the express was resuming its journey it was found that one of the carriages was so much injured in its axles that they were getting red hot, which necessitated another stoppage till the carriage was removed and replaced by another. 7ILE NAVY. Commodore the Hon. James R.Drummond, C. 8., Aide-de-Camu to her Majesty, and superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, yesterday returned to Wool wich on the expiration of a month's leave of absence, and resumed his official duties. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Mutine, intended to carry 17 guns, was yesterday hauled out of the fitting basin at Woolwich, and was admitted into dock to be coppered. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle on completion of some slight repairs was yes terday undocked; and the paddlewheel steam sloop Ardent was ordered to be placed in the Ist class steam reserve at that yard. Her Majesty's steam -don]) Hecate is in progress of thorough repair at Woolwich, and is ordered to be completed with de spatch. Mr. James Dearly, Mr. S. It. Graves, and Ca A. Powell, of Liverpool, attended by Mr. J. Ewart, M.P., had an interview with the Duke of Somerset yesterday afternoon, at the Admiralty, respccting the Conway school frigate. Letters for the screw steamship Orion, 91, are to he sent to Malta. She was at Gibraltar on the 3d insztani, getting a new foreyard, the old one being sprung in three places. The Orion was appointed to leave shortly for Malta. A special messenger from the Lords of the Admi ralty arrived at Plymouth on Sunday with de spatches, and the screw steamvessel Flying Fioi, 6, Commander Hope, left the Sound immediately. it is supposed that she will communicate with the squadron of eight ships which left Plymouth on Thursday, under Rear-Admiral George Elliott, and which form a portion of the Channel flea, under full command of Admiral Sir C. Fremantle. The Trident, 6, iron paddle steamer, Commander Francis A. Close, arrived at Spithead yesterday at noon from Ascension, from which port she sailed on the 19th August, arriving at Eva!, where she put in for coal, on the 28th September, and sailing. thence on the Ist of October. - The greater part of he passage home has been made under canvass, the Trident having only two engineers on board in con sequence of her losses by fever. She also brings home the whole of her Kroomen (22), owing to her being short•han , 3..ed in her crew from the same cause. She arrived at Ascension from the coast, with the fever raging aboard, on the 27th of June, when the officers and crew were encamped ashore, and the vessel placed in quarantine, as was reported in The Sun of July 28. The following officers and men fell victims to its ravages :—M r. liignell, pay master; Mr. Martin, Mr. Case, Al 7. O wen, Mr. Pat terson, and Mr. Buiste, engineers ; Mr. Atkinson, master's assistant; Mr. Mould, gunner; and 36 petty officers, seamen, and marines ; 17 of the deatha occurred on the coast, and the remainder after the ship arrived at Ascension. The first death occurred on the 26th May, and the last on the 22d July. Lieut. Chapman and the survivors, five of the prize crew of her Majesty's ship Heron have come home as supernumeraries ; the remaining six of the prize crew died from fever on board the Trident and in the encampment at Ascension. Mr. Broome, assist ant-paymaster from the Tortoise, and Mr. Kelly, the nephew of Mr. Dart, the British Consul at Fayal, have come home as passengers. The Tri dent has only taken one prize during her service on the coast, the Lydia Gibbs, in June, 1858, empty. The following vessels were spoken on the voyage home :—On the 22th of August, in latitude 4 25 N, long. 22 39 W, th e E ng li s h s hi p B e l mon t, stand ing SSE; on the 2d Sept., in hit. 10 54 N, long. 25 3 W, the English barque Marsden; Sept. 5, in lat. 13 54 N, long. 26 27 W, her Majesty's ship Curacoa, bound to Monte Video, and the English ship James Scott ; Sept. 6, in lat. 15 24 N, long. 27 w, exchanged colours with a French ship showing third pendant, No. 3,508 ; Oct. 4, in lat. 41 22 N, kn... 22 22 W, spoke the English schooner Sverige, of Liverpool, who reported herself leaky, 30 days from Loango ; Oct. 13, in lat. 48 35 N, long. 9 17 W, the English barque Danube, of Dundee, for Cape of Good Hope, showing first pendant, No. 2,560 ; Oct. 14, communicated by signal with the Norwegian barque Speculator, in lat. 48 57 N, long. 743 W. The Trident entered the Needles passage on Sunday evening, and brought up for the night in Yarmouth Roads, where she found, lying at anchor, the Blenheim, 60, screw guardship ; the Biter gunboat; and the Renard, 6, screw gunvesstl, Commander J. G. Goodenough. The latter vessel had left Shithead for the westward the same day, but had put into Yarmouth Roads for shelter from the violence of the weather outside. The Trident will proceed, it is expected, this morning to Wool wich for paying off. A letter from her Majesty's ship Tartar, dated Halifax, Oct. 6, states that she was expected to leave for England on the 10th inst. The Locust, 3, paddle, Commander J. B. Field, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the west ward. .• The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—James Jenkins, surgeon additional, to the Simoom ; Richard Evans, assist.- surg., to the Weser; J. B. Murphy, assist.-sure., to the Formidable ; John Albert Ylevsu, 3d class assist.-engineer, to the Wellington, as supernu merary for hospital treatment; Jams acting 3d class assist.-engineer, to the Diadem ; and George Boyd, acting 3d class assist.-engineer, to the Urgent, as supernumerary. TILE ARMY. After a considerable interval since the last in stance of military flogging at Chatham, the punish ment of the lash was again resorted to at that gar rison yesterday morning on a. soldier named Norton, belonging to the 88th Connaught Rangers, who has recently returned home wounded from India, and was attached to St. Mary's Invalid Depot, awaiting the order for his discharge from the service. The crime for which the prisoner was tried by district court-martial at Chatham b Irraeks a few days since was the serious military offence of striking a non commissioned officer in the execution of his duty. The prisoner served with the gallant 88th Con naught Rangers in the Crimea, and is decorated with the Crimean medal with three clasps. He subsequently prec 2eded with his corps to India, and served during the Indian campaign against the rebels until invalided home, having received two wounds. On the evening of the 7th inst. the pri soner was walking through the streets of Chatham, when he saw Sergeant Gavin, 31st Regiment, be longing to the garrison military police, giving some directions respecting a disturbance with the military in one of the streets, when the prisoner without hav ing received the slightest provocation, deliberately walked up to the sergeant and struck him a violent PE ICE 4'. STAMPED, 5D , blow with his fist before the whole of the men on guard, the prisoner being under the impression that, as he Wa3 to be discharged from the invalid depot on the following day, he should escape the conse quences of his crime. lie was, however, brought to trial by court-martial, when it was ascertained that his character since he had been in the service had been very bad, and that he had been several times tried by court-martial for various of fences, and had also been once before flogged for as saulting a .non - commissioned officer. The Court, under these circumstances, sentenced him to receive 50 lashes, and to be imprisoned for HIS days. A number of the officers and troops selected from each of the depots attached to the three battalions of in fantry were accordingly marched at an early hour yesterday morning to the Spur Battery to witness the punishment, and, notwithstanding that it rained heavily at the time, the prisoner was undressed and fastened up to the triangles, when the full number of lashes were administered, a surgeon standing by in order to direct the suspension of the punishment in case there was any necessity for doing; so. Aft er the prisoner had been released front the triangles he was conveyed to the garrison hospital, and as soon as he is able to leave that establishment he will undergo the remainder of hi5.A049,0114,P9rt Clarence military prison, Rpchester. MANNINO THE NAVY. Sir Charlos Napier presents his compliments to the Editor of The Situ, and requests he will have the kindness to publish the enclosed letter. Oct. 17. To THE DUKE OF SOMERSET, FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY. My Lord,—As the country seems determined that the navy should he in an efficient state, and more popular than it has been, I beg to point out to your grace what changes appear to me necessary to accomplish that object ; and, having done so, 1 shall then exaniine into the plan for the proposed reserve. When a sudden augmentation of the navy is re quired, and ships are commissioned, the marines, blys, and officers are appointed, and part of the much paieffittcyuol ty e r l s n an t h d is id s l t e a r t s e 'a t r i c i e ob s t h a i i p n e r t c l q l n v a i i t i l i t s ou in t onths, having the most expensive part of her crew on board. Thus we have two ships in commission, one with a full crew on board waiting to be relieved, and another, with perhaps a third of litr crew, wait ing for men. This has been going on ever since the peace of 1815; and although we have an Admi ralty costing upwards of £lOO,OOO a-year, no board has ever hit on a method of manning the navy economically and expeditiously. And if Parliament had not induced the late Board of Admiralty to appoint a commission of inquiry, we might have rermiiiied in the same state for the next 20 years, seeing other nations manning their fleets Nvithout &triunity, and this great maritime country helpless, With material iu abundance, but the personnel to set that material in motion not to be had. Surely there must be some thing wrong, but that something no Admiralty has been able to dicover. It is admitted that when men are voted and en tered there is no difficulty in keeping. up the nu►n ber; the difficulty is to - keep under the vote, but the moment an emergency arrives and some thousands, or indeed hundreds, are wanted, we are all abroad. This is not surprising, as the sailors are employed in the different trades; and they will not leave their employment to enter the navy unless it is made worth their while; and experience tells us we nave never yet come up to their mark. .. I do not say that improvements have not been made, but our improvements have not kept pace with the times; there are still many grievances, and the Admiralty are slow in redressing them.' The greatest of all evils is the confinement men , aro subject to on board a ship. It is true, when a ship is fitting out there is no lack of leave, but the moment she goes to Spithead, or to the Sound, leavois stopped and drill begins, and the drill is seldom carried on with judgment ; this disgusts the men and deters others from entering. Another cause of complaint is the discomfort of the hulks when the ships are fitting out; and there is not the least necessity for this. 1 and others have brought this under consideration over and over again, but without effect. No ship ought to be com missioned till she is perfectly ready to receive men, and discipline ought to begin the first dry the pen nant is hoisted ; the men should be paid weekly, moderate leave given, and officers and men made as comfortable as if the ship had been six months in commission. Suppose, my lord, we required artificers for the dockyard, and did not pay their wages for four or five months. Do you think, my lord, they would outer ? Not a man of them ; they would go to the merchant yards, where they arc better treated. The Admiralty never seems to know that when a man goes on board a shiphe has seldom a farthing; in his pocket, and perhaps not a rag to his back. He is obliged to take up his bed and bedding from the paymaster, clothe himself and fit out his mess. That, thanks to the manning commission, is now remedied, but he has not wherewithal 10 buy his little comforts, but must, go in debt to the bumboat man, and pay 25 per cent. above the value, and perhaps be cheated out of 25 per cent. more ; and not till the ship is ready for sea does he receive more than his monthly money, and sometimes not that; and when he is paid what is called his two months' advance, he hag perhaps four or five months' due. All this time lie has been running in debt to the bumboat man for himself, and, if married, fel his wife and family. It is true the seamen now get a bounty, but that is only temporary, and given because they were not to be had without it, and even now it has been cried down in parliament by some of the wise men who have hitherto ruled the navy. Another grievance,' which is, I believe, about to be remedied, is the delay in paying the allotments to seamen's wives, which ought to be done immediately they enter, and not keep them in poverty for months. • Some improvement has been made in the method of clothing, but more is wanted. Why should not a captain be allowed to contract with a tailor to supply his men P When an officer or a private gen tleman wants a coat he does not go to a slopseller ; he is not obliged to have his clothes pulled to pieces and renewed, but a sailor is. The men should be measured, and a contract made in the presence of the signing officer of the ship, and the clothes paid for by the paymaster, and charged to the men if they have no money, or paid by themselves if they choose; the Admiralty taking care that a standard cloth is fixed. This would put an end to all contract jobbery. When the ship is ready for sea, drill, which is absolutely necessary, commences, but that ought to be conducted with judgment, and experienced men ought not to be confounded with.rtcruits. And ships ought not to be sent to out.of-the•way places, and leave stopped. Drill is always irksome, and as much indulgence should be shown as possible. Some captains have no idea of this, and are at it Morning, noon, anti night, while both captain and officers go on shore for their amusement, and the men are kept on board, sometimes seeing; their wives rowing round the ship and not allowed to come on board, a distant view of their wives being the only matrimonial comfort allowed them. When a ship conies into port she should to epaid immediately, and leave given to the men go on shore to enjoy themselves, and not kept on board till the ship is ready for sea, and then paid per haps the day before she sails, and in war time very often on the day she sails. When a ship arrives from a foreign station, and is to be paid cif, it would be much better to turn her over to the Superintending Admiral, who would unrig her and return her stores in an or derly manner instead of getting rid of them in the hurried, slovenly way that is too often the case. This is, I believe, at last discontinued, after hun dreds of repreventations having been made to the Admiralty. If such a system. were adopted, both in fitting out and paying off, I verily believe nearly one-half of the expanse would be saved. We have now a Channel Fleet, which we never ought to be without ; and we have also a Mediter ranean Fleet, and surely there can be no necessity for keeping ships so long on one station. What is to hinder one of the Channel ships sailing for the Mediterranean, and one of the Mediterranean ships sailing for England the same day, thus giving the men an opportunity of seeing their friends a little oftener? A merchant sailor is never absent more than a year ; but a man-of-war's man may be four or even five years from home at a time. When a ship is in want of repairs she ought to be returned to the Superintending Admiral, and all hands be moved into another ship ready to receive them, taking with them all the little com forts they have collected for tl is last five years, and not sent about their business, with orders (if con tinuous service men) to join the flag-ship when their leave is expired. This would obviate the need, ssity of that want of all system, paying a ship c when. She is in a I now come to Greenwich Hospital, which is re garded by the public as a splendid retirement for British seamen ; but jobbery is carried to a great length there. Last session I asked for a committee of inquiry. The bona!, I think generally, admitted that it was required, but the Admiralty bogged so hard, and former First Lords, who had done nothing to improve it, succeeded in persuading the house to adjourn the appointment °ea counnittte to another session ; and perhaps your grace may order an in quiry, which, if a searching ono, might be more efficient than a committee of the House of Coin- mons. Th..: public are not aware that when an officer goes into Greenwich Hospital he retains his half pay, and, if wounded, his pension ; but when a sailor or marine goes therein, loses his pension, and if he happens to be wounded he loses that also. No matter if he has lost both legs —aye, and both arms to boot—he gets no more indulgence than the man who goes into Greenwich for his length of service, viz., a shilling a week tobacco money. A wounded sailor ought certainly to preserve his pension for wounds, and a simple pensioner should have six pence a day. Were Greenwich Hospital got rid of, and the re venue given over to worn•out and wounded men, they would have a handsome retirement, and live at home with their friends in happiness and com fort, instead of living in splcalid misery at Green wich. A man applied to me some time ago for a pension. The following was the red-tape reply of the Admiralty ;—" You may httend at the Admi ralty-office, tiomerset-honte, - ,:f yi;ti think proper, on ho firm; Thursday in any Month; at 10 o'clock, a.m., for examination as to your elhint for this in dulgence; but I am to add, that unless you are very old, and altogether disabled (from wounds or hurts) you will stand very little chaßce of admission. — James Chapman, 22, Shf:re-street, Dundee." Now, my lord, it was very easy for the Secretary of the Admiralty to write such a letter. But where was a worn-out old man to find money to convey him to Somerset-house on the chalice of gettinginto Greenwich Hospital? This I pointedout to the Ad- miralty, and suggest ed he sho•:Id be surveyed at Dun dee. This was not compli e d w ith, b u t I received another letter, saying if he came to town he should be admitted and taken care of at Rockingham House. This was something better, but how he is to get to town I do nc.t know. When men receive a rupture in the service they only get gratuities of five or six pounds, and Utile) , cannot do a man's work they must go to the unim ; and yet we are told one of the great encourage ments to men to enter the navy is being taken care of if disabled in the service. I now come, my lord duke, to the projected re serve, and if the ameliorations I have recommended be carried out, I do not believe there would be any great difficulty in forming it. It seems now understood we are always to have a Channel fleet, and if any attempt is m ,do by the House of Commons to destroy it, I hope we shall have a Prime Minister who has virtue enough to resin his place, and independence to tell the House of Commons that without a fleet he will not be responsible fez the safety of the country ; and if we bare not a Minister capable of so doing, I trust we shell have an Admiralty who will not serve under such a Minister. Depend upon it, my lord duke, it will never come to that. No House of Commons would ever think of reducing the navy contrary to the opinion of the Government, and the country would never allow the house of Commons t.. 9 do anything of the sort. Well, I shall suppose wo have a Channel fleet of 10 sail of the line ; and, for the sake of clearness, they should be manned with SOOT offiCers, men, and boys, and 200 marines. All the blue-jackets ought to be able seamen. In time of peace only 100 marines should be embarked, and their number filled up by A.B's. I don't mean to reduce the marines, quite the contrary, they should be increased and the seaport towns garrisoned by them. In the event of war one watch should be dis charged into another ship ready to receive them, and the mArines completed. This would give us at once 20 sail of the line, manned with 650 men each. The officers, boys, and idlers (which are eadly ob tained) would amount to 150 more. To complete them we are obliged at present to fall back on the coast-guard and coast volunteers. The first being drafted would endanger the revenue ; and the second would •be comparatively useless, as they arc not obliged to go more than 100 leagues from the land; besides destroying your fleet for the defence of the coast, "all of which should be efficient ships," and never touched till the last extremity. It is to obviate this that we aro now searchin .• fora reserve of di sc ipli ne d seamen t o th e of 3 extent3o,ooo men. On 111.1! first breaking out of war we must not suppose that 20 sail of the line and 10 sail of the coast ships, which c.m only be considered sea-militia, would be sufficient for the home stations and to rein force our squadrons abroad ; it is for that purpose that the 30,000 men are required, and that the marines should garrison our seaports. We have now in all our ports ships quite ready to receive men, and in the event of war the necessary number would immediately be commissioned, and the reserve, which ought all to be at home, would be ordered to join their respective ships, to which they ought to be told off beforehand ; in addition to the reserve the marines should be embarked, and the moment the crews get on board, they should find the captain and the officers ready to recieve them, the hammocks slung, the mess utensils on the table, and their dinner cooked. The next step to be taken is to call out the militia, to replace the marines in the seaport towns; they would have ample time to be disciplined, protected by the fleet, and thus in one month the country would be armed to the teeth, and ready to fight any two nations that thought proper to attack us. I now come to the most difficult part, that is, the formation of the reserve : that is purely a money question ; so, if the money is forthcomine ti ; the diffi culty vanishes. If the cNtutry will not give the money we must remain as we are, open to attack and insult by nations better prepared than ourselves ; and if we meet with a disaster it will not be so easily recovered as many people imagine. Parliament has voted £lOO,OOO to form this reserve. It is proposed to give each man £5. For this he must be ready at all calls. He must serve 28 days each year, and must know all his drills. During this time he will receive the same pay, provisions, and the same privileges as seamen serving. Now, my lord, to make this reserve effi cient, they must give up all trades except the coasting trade. Now, a sailor in the prime of life does not like to be thus restricted. He is fond of wandering all over the world ; and if he is not in the prime of life, he is not fit for the reserve. Your grace will find that £5 is not a sufficient induce ment for a good seaman to take up such a line. It appears to me the formation of the•reserve must be begun with men who have served ten years in actual service. At present those men aro entitled to a pension; that should be abolished, and they should only be entitled to enter the reserve. They should be designated the Que e n' s Naval Guards; and they should be exempt from corpo ral punishment when serving ; they should be men of exemplary conduct, and after having been ten years in the reserve they should receive a good pension, but subjected to be called upon, if fit, and wanted, and then designated the OH Guard, and receive, as they do now, both pay and pension. They should ba eligible to civil situ ations, and care should be taken to employ them if fit. If artificers, they should be preferred to others to serve in the dockyards, which is never n e s thought of; on the contrary, the dockyard o ffi cer s aregz my lord, comes generally sg r ait tl e i s em. This ought not to be. No the question, what pay is sufficient to induce men to join the reserve? Five pounds will certainly not do. We must be careful not to risk a failure, and we ought to make searching inquiries among the men them selves what, in their e s ti ma ti on , would be suffi cient encouragement to induce them to adopt the coasting trade, so as to be at hand at all calls. Whatever is thought just must be given. There is no help for it, for neither the sailor nor the country will stand compulsion. The ballot will be fair, but the ballot would not furnish trained men. It would he easy to register all the 'long-shore men, and draw them , for the naval service; but, as I have already said, that would not get you trained seamen—it would only get you coast volunteers, which you have alroady. In Mr I brought a bill into Parliament for regis tering the seamen, and authorising the Queen to cAll them out by classes, beginning with those just out of their apprenticeship. This.bill provided that all masters and owners should be obliged to dis charge men coming under the proclamation, and to those men a haunt v should be given. That was cer tainly a mild compulsion, but still it was compulsion, and the House of Commons would not entertain it; and the Admiralty shortly afterwards gave up Z in 1815. So man im rovemen t s have . t a ken p 3 registration tickets, and left us just w here We w l ystem, or in all the navies of the p world, that atnhdisifs-we aro to y . ace rather no system, will not now . do ; t, Commons and be lost in doing what the House of . l conclude this letter, my ccuntry expect. thatha,l , be preserved from danger and insult, no time should lord by saying England eYpects the Admi ralty' will do its duty.—l remain your grace's obe dient servant, CIAS.
