Both the prisoners are men of exceedingly depraved character, and have bemuse veraal times tried by court-martial. In consequence of their threats and the general violence of their character it required 12 Marines to convey them from the guard-house to the court-martial room and during the time of their trial they were handcuffed and in charge of a double escort. They also treated the Court with great contempt.

One most important feature in favour of the Naval Reserve is that some of the seamen's unions in the north have, through their delegates, now warmly taken up its cause, and are forward in ad vocating its claims upon the support of the men. Such aid on the part of the most provident and careful body of seamen in the country, is of course most important, and will soon yield good results. Masters of vessels also give a decided preference to reserve men, as naturally the most steady and best trained, and this also is slowly though surely pro ducing its effect. If the Government were only bold enough and liberal enough to take one step more and pay the able seamen in the navy at the same rate which they now receive in the merchant service, we should hear of no more difficulties as to want of seamen. This increase would add only £140,000 a-year to the estimates—a small sum for so great a good. TILE CWILTIRCIAL TREATY. . A man struggling between two adverse influences has always been a favourite subject with painters and sculptors, and poets and novelists; If any great genius should just now be contemplating something in the genre of Garrick between tragedy and comedy, or Telemachus between Mentor and Calypso, we beg to recommend as a practical and modern idea in the same line Napoleon 111. between Free Trade and Protection. Let M. John Dollfus, Pre sident of the Commercial Reform Association, pluck gently at the hem of the Imperial garment on one side, pointing to a row of extinct furnaces, a quan tity of abandoned looms, little knots of commercial gentlemen, with their ledgers lying closed before them, and to a crowd of hungry conzmis-voyageurs, all out at elbows, and let him say, or seem to say, sadly, " These are the effects of delay." Let the President of the Chamber of Commerce be repre sented as clasping the Imperial knees ; at his back let there be crowds of hungry workmen, and on the floor beside him a copy of the Moniteur Industriel, with long lists of bankrupts, tariffs of high prices for bread and low prices for hardware, and pottery, and cotton goods ; and let him say, or seem to say, " These are the effects of precipitation." The ex pression of the Imperial countenance we must leave to the discretion of the artist. Whether it should be puzzled and irresolute, stern and indifferent, or shrewd and triumphant, will depend upon hor -much he may know of what has b een done, ate: how far hp May be able, to calculate what will be the `effect " - of - what has been done. Some Such tableau as this would have the truth if not the dig nity of an historical picture, and would shadow forth simply circumstances which have required several of our columns for their due announcement. If there be any Englishman who places the chief luxury of life in daily libations of the sourest French wine, and who at the same time pays no income-tas, lct that gentleman stand furw.,rd and sing the praises of the Cobden Treaty. We know of no person otherwise placed who can greet it with unconditional encomium. We all admit that it has its good points, and that, upon the whole, its good overbalances its evil. But then its evils are so great, and they are so unnecessary. They do not, for the most part, exist for any one's good. They might have been so easily avoided. It is so vexing to think that they are the results of nothing but the ignorance of the contracting parties as to the interests of their respective principals. Here is the Emperor of the French straining his anxious mind to obtain for his subjects some easy inclined plane down which they might slide gently into the sure groove of free trade; but, unhappily, not hav ing had the same practical experience of commer cial transactions which his predecessor on the throne enjoyed, he has done harm where he was endeavouring to do gool. To avoid harrowing the feelings of his subjects, and to save them from sud den consternation, he has fixed a distant date for his commercial millennium. The consequence is that he has stopped all the commerce of France. Every one is looking forward to that millennium, for good or for evil, that is to be the rule of all fu ture commercial transactions. It never occurred to the Emperor that no one will buy to-day what he is promised a great deal cheaper a few months hence. Every man will wait, economise, make shift with old supplies, suffer any temporary in convenience, rather than pay more than will shortly be its price for the article he wants. The Commer cial Re :orm Association declares openly that this benevolent imperial plan has had no other effect than "to paralyse consumption and labour," and it calls upon all the chambers of commerce " to unite their efforts to demand of the Government to abridge these delays in the double interest of the producer and consumer." Thus we see it is the French, and Rot the English, who are calling aloud for the removal of that special stipulation for delay which the Emperor introduced for their intended advantage. With the best intentions in the world, he is ruining his own manufacturers by his cruel kindness. 1 .; t 7.3 -. __ ... 1 ~ . _ • _ 4 1 ? • t § lie' al business lic , sfetoto-bed0ne,.., 7 .1t has jo-beAlonp, also; amid of the: ititOests - Wetted; Xs iII be `seen' extracts: tve toidak, publish . fk-om tile Ittoz2itettr int 1 4.4 11 4.1..,.t1icYr0W4 t?urors, wliofi.d,_theyhaeseeure4. a . 1;1.2er cent. i)n Stead Ofbiay . a - 30 per'bent: r;Oteitlin are armfO to - TTiregetke::their iltihopekroi gedd•Jortu no..

It may sound very presumptuous to non commercial people for us to intimate that Mr. Cob den is capable of making a mistake in commercial matters ; and we know it will be held rank blas phemy by any mob that may get together in any Free-trade Hall to suggest that Mr. Cobden could ever be mistaken upon any subject whatever. But BO it is. With the very best intentions, Mr. Cobden has shown a lamentable ignorance of the interests with which he was dealing. We by no means at tribute this to him as a fault. It could not have happened otherwise. We should search in vain throughout England for a man who has an inti mate knowledge of the details of every branch of English commerce. Mr. Cobden is oue of the last men in whom we ought to expect such an universal knowledge. He has been d ea li ng w ith grea t prin ciples all his life. His career has been one war of extermination against all imposts and all Custom houses. You might as well set Mr. Mechi to breed wild rabbits as commission Mr. Cobden to decide upon the most expedient form of an import duty. However, he was set to do it, and he has done it; and he has done it in such a way that the Bradford Chamber of Commerce finds he has hopelessly ex cluded all our English worsted manufactures from the French markets. He has consented to the fixed duty being calculated upon the prices that ruled during the last six months, not knowing that these prices have been Et) exceptionally high that an ave rage of them will give a duty of at least 50 per cent. not only upon present prices, but also upon any prices at all likely to be obtained in future. It is the same in the cotton trade; and. even Man chester is repudiating the bargain made for it by its own apostle. In the same way, Mr. Cobden un fortunately knew nothing of the prohibition upon the export of rags, and of the effect of thi s prohi bition upon the prices of paper. Had he known better he would, of course, hav e s ti pu l a t e d f or a fair average of prices as the basis of the fixed duties, and for the free export of rags in return for the free import of paper. It was not Mr. Cobden's fault that he did not know these things, but his want of knowledge has occasioned all those vexatious diffi culties which are the bad points of his treaty.

Jusgee : W 4105,): ALEXANDER V. ALEXANDER AND Alt ' ioS. This case was before the Court in November last, when after evidence had been produced in support of the allegations contained in the petition, their lordships allowed the further hearing to stand over in order that additional testimony might be brought for their satisfaction. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Samuel Alex ander against his wife Rebecca, on the ground of her adultery with Frank Amos. The facts of the case were as follows :—The petitioner married the respondent at St. George's, Hanover-square, on Jan. 31, 1838, the lady being of great beauty, bat of o together . .meAe son neehrr of a k na i , a n d a f i e ffbn r aed i nr o ek r l nae s ttr t t a epa t ra i tl o ry n t Is in o ofwjh eEi e err England, eg h . y u l a. s I in b dhalin,e Towards fc ta w oeri r h idaw o sba w i trt he a d de s s in n end of last year they were living in Bewley Bay, Jersey, when, according to the allegations in the petition, it was discovered that Mrs. Alexander had committed adultery with Amos, who was in her husband's service as groom. There were four chil dren born of the marriage. A witness, named Sullivan, who had been in Mr. Alexander's service, deposed that about a month after Amos came he saw Mrs. Alexander in the dairy crying and saying she wished she was dead, because she was in love ; and subsequently he saw her in the groom's bedroom with Amos, who blew out the candle, upon which witness, who was watch ing in the yard, threw some gravel up at the win dow. He afterwards told his mistress he should inform his master of her conduct, when she struck him, and Amos beat him also. On other occasions he had seen Mrs. Alexander kiss the groom and come out of his bedchamber. On cross-examination by the Court, Sullivan said he threw sand at the window be cause he could not reach it with his hand. The window was not down to the floor, but the bed was close to it. The first time he said anything about the matter was after he had seen the parties together in the wash-house. Mr. Alexander used to be away occasionally in town, and the daughters were absent with him, when the re spondent carried on an intimacy with Amos. The reason he told his master was because he pitied the children, and had been led to believe that Amos was about to go to America with his mistress. After he had made this disclosure he was turned away from his situation by Mrs. Alexander. This witness, who gave his evidence in a very confused manner, occasionally contradicted himself. A housemaid in the service of the parties also de posed to the existence of an undue intimacy between her mistress and Amos. She had seen them in the bedroom together, and noticed her sitting on his knee and kissing him. Her mistress went away from the house about three weeks after Amos left, d nog Usz iT4p3,411.11.er m other— .31 7- _he n. wit-_. nett Arai to4dtheTinfister.Aat,s6 served' that t 4atliebt'tifannt, Ve*totilit • not have -The' witness's testimony -wa s full ,of contradictions, and on cross-examination her evi dence altogether broke down. The Judge Ordinary delivered the judgment of the Court. The case was in some respects a re markable one. The husband imputed to the wife that she had committed adultery with a groom named Amos. It seemed that Mrs. Alexander was of humble or iglu as compared to the peti tioner, but the parties had lived together for many years, and there we're several children of the marriage. They had lived always under the dis pleasure of the husband's family in consequence of the connexion, and six years ago an attempt was made to effect a separation, which, however, the wife would not agree to. During the whole of this time there was nothing to excite the slightest suspi cion as to the purity and chastity of her conduct. The Court therefore started with the assumption that Mrs. Alexander had up to a recent period con ducted herself in a manner which nobody could find fault with. This being so, they were called upon by the petitioner to suppose that this lady had condes cended to disgrace herself with a groom, who had been only two months in her husband's service, and had behaved with so little regard to decency as to indulge in familiarities with him in open day, and in the presence of other parties. There might be such cases—there might be a passion approach ing to insanity, under which a woman might be lost to all sense of shame and decency, but there was no evidence of that sort in the present case. The Court, after a careful review of the case, thought there was something so unreasonable, extraordinary, and altogether improbable and contradictory in the story told by the witnesses, that it could not for a moment believe it. Certainly no woman's character would be safe if it could be destroyed upon such evidence as. this. Their lordships were not satis fied that the case of the petitioner was proved, and, therefore, they felt bound to dismiss the peti-. tion, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) ALLAN V. MASON.-SEDUCTION. This was an action to recover damages for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, and the de fendant pleaded that he was not guilty, and that the daughter was not in the service of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee stated that the plaintiff, Mrs. Eliza Allan, was the widow of a baker who formerly carried on business in a very respectable manner at Westminster. About eight years ago he died, leav ing her with several children, and among them her daughter Ellen, whose misfortune was now the subject of inquiry. About six years and a half ago the plaintiff went to reside at Plumstead, and hav ing some little property the, with assistance from her sons, lived in some degree of comfort and re spectability. In 1854 Ellen made the acquaintance of the defendant Henry George Mason, 'who was then 24 years of age, and was the son of a respec table upholsterer and undertaker at Plumstead. The defendant was then collector of taxes and shortly afterwards he was appointed churchwarden. Soon after the acquaintance commenced the de fendant proposed marriage. This offer was ac cepted. After the courtship had continued some years, nothing having occurred to induce the young woman or her mother to suppose that the defendant had any but the most honourable intentions, he induced Miss Allan to go to a tavern at Shooter's hill and there effected her ruin. He afterwards admitted his conduct to her mother, and promised to marry the girl without delay. H© consented to the banns being published, but put off the perform ance of his promise on var;ous pretences till a child was born, and then he positively refused to perform his engagement. Mrs. Eliza Allan--I am the plaintiff. I have 10 children, of whom three are daughters. The de"- fendant made the acquaintance of my daughter a year after I went to Plumstead, and he continued his visits clown to 1858. In 1839 my daughter was living with me, and assisted in the household Work, and she also worked for wages at needlework. In August, 1859, one of my daughters, Mrs. Dur ridge, made a communication to me, and in conic quence T wrote to the defendant asking him to conic and see me, and he came the next day. I told him I was very much surprised at his conduct, as I had always considered him a very honourable man. He said he was very sorry, it was all his fault, that my daughter was not to blame, that he had very great respect for her, he would do all in his power to repair the wrong, and that ho would marry her. He seemed rather depressed as though it was not convenient to marry th en ; an d I sa id if i t were any convenience to him she could remain with me till he could make a home for her. He said I had removed all difficulty, and he would go and see my daughter and arrange with her.

SOULSBY. . • This case arose on demurrer to the plaintiff's - declaration. The plaintiff in his first count com plained that he had hired certain furnished apart ments in the house of the defendant, and brought into them certain luggage, chattels, and effects, and that the defendant, neglecting his duty, did not take such due and proper care of his said house as a, prudent owner would, by means whereof cer tain dishonest persons, in the absence of the plain tiff, were admitted into the defendant's house and into the plaintiff's apartments, and took and carried. away the said luggage, chattels, and e ff ects of the plaintiff. The second count stat e d that the plain tiff was about to yield up the said apartments, and gave licence to the landlord, according to the usage in such cases, to enter and show his apartments to persons desirous of taking the lodgings, and that, not taking proper care, some of the said persons carried off certain of thel chattels of the plaintiff which were in the said apartments. The defendant pleaded that the first count, not alleging the defen dant to be a common innkeeper, or any contract for insurance against loss, or any personal bailment to the defendant, did not disclose any duty or lia bility on the part of defendant to take care of the plaintiff's goods. There was a similar plea to the second count. The plaintiff joined in demurrer. Mr. Archibald appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. John Thompson for the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, said that, in his opinion, the judgment ought to be for the defendant. Upon the first count the plain tiff claimed in the mere relation of a lodger, and assumed that the law created a duty of taking due and proper care of the goods of a lodger. He had to ascertain whether there was any duty by law cast on the landlord of a lodginghouse to take care of the goods of the lodger, and no law, no treatise, no judge had ever affirmed that preposition. In " Cayle's case" (1, Smith's Leading Cases) the lia bility of innkeepers was restricted to innkeepers keeping common inns for wayfarers to use, and the sedges in that case laid down a distinct rule that a lodginghouse-keeper letting lodgings had no such liability, if the goods of a lodger arc stolen in his house by another lodger, much less by a stranger. The reason of the law was that a way faring guest, having no means of knowing what sort of persons might be about the inn, the law cast the duty on the innkeeper of taking care of the goods of his guest ; and he was put on his guard,. .810 sea . right fet mttincs a .441,,,a_ 0.. ~ .-44At 14,N!,..a: . 44?, ~ --:::„.„_,, ..,.:.....-„,-, -; - 'insuring Alin safety of his ,gnest'te ~ c ods. " 1 1*st---s--'se , s se a -a. reason of the law was perfectly intelligible, ai-iti:77, - 5r , `,- ' 7.• - was said that an innkeeper might co-operate with . dishonest persons against 'a wealthy traveller ' and steal his goods from him. But none of these reasons applied in reference to a lodger. The con tract must be taken as indicating the liability. Al though it was nut contended that it was an a'J.,:oluto duty cast on the lodginghouse-keeper, and that he was only bound to take due and proper care of his lodger's geode, he \, :.:s most particularly averse from affirming that a lodginghouse-keeper was liable to take due and proper care, To say that every lodginghouse-keeper was liable for the loss of goods if he did not take due and proper care of them would be casting on him a re sponsibility that no man could see the result of. Looking at the infinity of character of the persons received into lodgings —persons of every grade—if lodginghouse keepers were to be held bound to take due and proper care of their goods, or be liable for them by an arbitrary verdict, it would be affirming a proposition which would, to his mind, be a most pernicious evil: The habits of lodginghouses must vary according to circumstances. Near the seaside to have the doors always locked would be a great inconvenience. So it would be in a port where lodgings were taken at short notice, and the lodgers were continually going in and out. In all these cases, if the law was that the lodginghouse-keeper had to take care of the lodger's goods, it would be a serious respoesibility. Of course, the lodger could hare the same care taken of his goods as when passing along the streets he handed them over to a person to carry, by handing them over to the landlord to care of. Cayle's case was a direct authority against the plaintiff's claim. In the se cogcl count the lodger allowed his landlord to show the apartments to persons who wanted to take them. If a person to whom the apartments were shown should take the opportunity of taking off the lodger's goods, was the lodginghouse-keeper liable ? In his opinion, not. The lodger who had given leave to have his rooms shown, in ordinary prudence, would put articles of value out of sight,and under the circumstances would place his goods under the care of the landlord. There was much more danger of evil from the lodger arranging with his companions to take off goods from the lodgings under pretence of looking at them, and then the lodger charging the landlord with it, than that a landlord should enter into such a conspiracy. lie did not in this judgment in the smallest degree interfere with the liability that would arise if there was any evi dence at all that the landlord, by gross misconduct, had facilitated • the loss, or had taken part in it. In the present case the lodginghouse-keeper had done his duty, and was called on to be responsible for goods the loss of which was in no way his fault.

She sailed from Sierra Leone on the 12th of March, with only 50-horse-power at work, being partially disabled. She had excessively strong gales off the Canary Islands, which compelled her to put into Santa Cruz to coal. Off the mouth of the Tagus she was again caught in a terrific gale, which compelled her to bear up for Lisbon, where she lay until the 13th. Had she not had a port under her lee to run for, it is ,the opinion of the officers on board that on this occasion she must have been lost. She met with a continuance of gales until the Bay was crossed, from north to north-east. On the 16th she bore up for Vigo, where she remained at anchor until the 19th, and had no sooner sailed thence than she was again compelled to anchor under the land from the violence of the weather and her small amount of steam power. She put to sea on the fol lowing morning, when another gale compelled them to come to an anchor in Corcubion Bay, where her Majesty's steamer Medusa, Commander W. Bowden, was found at anchor, on her voyage from the West Coast to England, with her rudder damaged. She sailed on the following morning for Ferrol to pro cure a new one. The Pluto sailed from Corcubion Bay on the morning of the 24th, and on crossing the Bay on the 25th was compelled to dismount the pivot gun and send the jibboont in to Joke the ship: snug. Afterwards the= Weather - ingerated. The Pluto sailed from England in the first instance for the West Coast of Africa on the 3d December, 1857, but, striking on a rock on reaching Sierra Leone, she returned to England for repairs, after which she again sailed for the same station on the 13th of July, 1857, since which time she has been employed on different parts of the coast. She has taken two prizes—one an empty brig without papers or colours, condemned; and the other a fine bark with 888 slaves on board at the time of her capure, which took place on the morning of the 30th of November last, in lat. 415 S., long. 930 E. The bark was discovered soon alter daylight, about eight miles distant, with all sail set, but the Pluto having her fires banked, got up steam, and, giving chase, soon came up alongside her prize and captured her. She was afterwards sent into St. Helena and condemned. The accommodation for the slaves and the means taken to insure their health, as far as possible in a vessel of her description, are described as having been admirably arranged. She gives a good sum in prize-money to her captors. The Pluto has been remarkably healthy while on the coast, and has lost only one of her crew since leaving England, and he died from consumption. Her crew are a fine sailor looking set of men. She proceeds to Woolwich to pay off. THE ARMY. Her Majesty's screw troopship Perseverance, Commander E. W.

On the 27th inst., in lat. 47 8, long. 14 57, signalled and gave longi tude to the English bark Irene, from Adelaide, bound to London ; the same day signalled a Danish bark showing a flag with No. 35 in the centre. The regiment will disembark this morning at Ports mouth, and leave for Aldershott at nine o'clock, The somewhat extraordinary eircumstance of trying a private of the Royal Marines by " drum head court-martial," with the subsequent infliction of corporal punishment, occurred at Chatham yes terday morning to a private of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, named Joseph Wakefield, for a most gross act of insubordination. The prisoner, who is a man of exceedingly bad character, was tried a few days since by:district court-martial for deserting from head-quarters and making away with his regin.ental necessaries; and, the finding of the Court having been approved by the Major-General commanding, the whole of the officers and men of the division were drawn up in the barrack-square yesterday morn ing to hear the sentence promulgated. The prisoner having been marched to the centre, the sentence was read, the Court adjudging him to be branded with the letter " D " and to be imprisoned for 168 days. The instant the prisoner heard his sentence he turned round to Lieut.-Col. M'Killop and shouted out with an oath that he would not do it, but that he (Cel. M'Killop) " might do it him self," and there is no doubt he would have rushed at that officer had he not been prevented by the escort. As this flagrant act of insubordination took place in the presence of the entire division, the Commandant, Col. Rea, felt it is duty to make a prompt example of the prisoner, and at once gave A New Edition of THE PHILOSOPHY OF MARRIAGE.

TILE NAVAL RESERVE. In a quiet corner of the West India Docks lies the Brilliant, 26, a frigate of the old school. There is no place for such a vessel in the navy now-a•days, so she, with others of her class, have been tem porarily fitted with heavy guns, and turned into training-ships for our naval volunteers. Just now the subject of our Naval Reserve has very properly attracted much attention, and, as usual, the utmost diversity of opinion obtains. For those who wish to judge for themselves, and judge impartially, we would recommend a visit to some of the training ships which are now stationed in most of the sea ports, and in which all day the guns are run in and run out, trained ahead and astern, and even fired now and then as the volunteers progress in their drill. Those who go on board expecting to see the neat discipline and uniformity of dress which pre vail on board a regular man-of-war will be disap pointed. Gold lace and quarter .deck is wisely kept as much in the background as possible. On this point the injunctions to the officers in command are strict—" to bear in mind the difference between the rules and practices of the Royal Navy and those of the merchant service, and to endeavour, while en forcing order and regularity, to do so in such a way as may best conciliate the feelings of the merchant seamep:Mhus - the,.mgn r !)cinf;ll4,7gter \ phant sea men, come- in. what cress tey ike and .;13 long as they go through their 28 days' drill in the course of the year—doing duty at whatever periods are most convenient to themselves—they earn their £lO, and can go about their business till the twelvemonth has expired, when they take 28 more in the same manner. Those on board the Brilliant are all in the West India trade, and as a matter of course prefer to take their 28 days' drill at once. Those in the coasting and home trades take four drills of seven days each, whenever they choose, in the intervals between their regular voyages. On board the Brilliant, as in all the other vessels, the men come on board at 9.30 in the morning, when they are mustered and told off to their guns in time to commence at 10 o'clock. From this till 12 they work at the guns, when they are allowed two hours for dinner, falling in again at 2 and drilling till 4.30, when they dismiss and go home, having of course all the rest of the day to themselves. These hours are easy enough, yet, short as they are, from the men liking the exercise (especially the broad sword), they contrive to make astonishing profi ciency when the time of their drill is taken into coesideration. Yesterday on board the Brilliant, from the time the word was given to fall in till they had fired three rounds from each gun at 400, 600, and 800 yards' elevation, was only four minutes —a most creditable result when it is recollected that some of the - men had only been a week at quarters, and none had fully completed their 28 days. The advantages which are held out to induce the able seamen to join this reserve are apparently so great that one requires to investigate carefully the causes which have led the mass of the able seamen, up to almost the present time, to regard the whole plan with a feeling which, if not quite dislike, was at least one of considerable suspicion. Each man during drill receives a guinea a week pay, in addi tion to the .£6 yearly, paid every quarter, half year, or year, as he may please. During actual service in the navy (if they are ever called upon) they re ceive the same pay as continuous service men, or about 9s. a month more than other able seamen. They are entitled to receive the same bedding, clothing, and mess traps on joining as those that ship for continuous service; and after enrolment in the volunteers for 15 years, whether called out or not, they can claim their discharge and their pen sion forthwith. With such inducements it was not unnaturally thought that the men would flock to be enrolled in hundreds. Yet, though some three months have elapsed since the scheme was promulgated, very little more than 1,000 able seamen have been entered, These, however, it must be admitted, are all picked men ; and, as the weekly number of enrolments now shows a steady increase there seems very little doubt but that be fore the year expires at least between 3,000 and 4,000 will be on the lists. The proportion of petty officers and able seamen to ordinary seamen and boys employed in the navy is about one-third, and scarcely any of the best manned vessels now in the Channel Fleet muster more than 250 able seamen among their blue-jackets. According to this computation, then, already the reserve can furnish crews for four sail•of-the-line, and there is no reason why this number should not be at least quadrupled under proper management, as we have said, even before the year is out. The first fear of the seamen, that immediately after en tering the reserve they would be sent out to China and other foreign stations, is now fast wearing out, and, except at one or two little ports in the north, has almost disappeared. One cause of dissatisfac tion, however, still remains, and that is that the sea men do not receive their quarter's bounty on enter ing the reserve, but only when they have completed the three months, and this rule is adhered to, though in the great majority of instances no drill is demanded at all during this first quarter. No class of the community is more accessible to the induce ments of ready money payment than sailors, and none, as a general rule, are so little influenced by prospective advantages. Therefore, when to the suspicion of being sent abroad is added the draw back of having to wait three months before they get their bounty, a very superior and provident class of
