It has also been suggested to have but one light with moveable shades of different colours; if this suggestion is feasible it would appear to be more simple and much less expensive that the mode first named. APPOINTMENT. WOOLWICH, MARCH s.—Master's-Assista n t — James B. Haines to the L- ,n(ler, 50, at Lisbon. PROMOTIONS. Third-class Assistatut .lingineers William Pitt, serving in the Centaur, tag-ship of Rear-Admiral W. W. Hen derson, C. 8., on the south-cast coast of America station, •nd James Sangster, in the Horatio, 24 screw -steam_ guard-ship, at Sheerness, to be second-class engineers. Twenty young men who have served an apprentice ship at the factory at Woolwich dockyard of fire years having had the offer made to them of becoming engi neers in the Royal Navy for service afloat, they all, without exception, availed themselves of the opportunity, and were entered accordingly, and thirteen out of that number are now serving afloat, and found to be well-con ducted, intelligent men, in every way qualified for the new duty they have entered upon. It is expected that the factoaies at Woolwich and Portsmouth dockyards will be able in future to instruct young men in a know ledge of the engineer department in sufficient numbers to meet the requirements of the service afloat. The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander Charles G. the Highflyer steam-sloop, the Dwarf and Minx steam-vessels, are all to be taken out of the basin on Monday next. The Polyphemus will proceed down the river on Tuesday to try her engines, and in the coarse of the week will leave for the west coast of Africa station, with the Pluto steam-vessel, conveying a number of supernumeraries to fill up the vacancies on the coast of Africa caused by the recent engagement at Lagos. The Highflyer will also be tried down the river, and the Dwerf and Minx are to be taken up to Deptford to be kept in the basin there and allow more room in the basin at Woolwich. The Valorous steam-sloop has taken her armament on board, and will be taken round to Devonport, where she is to be completed and stationed as an advanced war-steamer. - ELECTION of ANNUITANTS on the BE NEVOLENT FUND of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION.

The supercilious impertinence with which Captain PENNY has been treated by parties connected with the Royal Navy of England i s , by thi s ti me , we should imagine, become matter of sufficient notoriety. Upon conduct so unbecoming the members of a gal lant and distinguished profession we have already felt it our painfal duty to animadvert. As Eng lishmen, and as patriotic lovers of the service, the name of which has been thus miserably degraded by the most arrogant assumption of the most petu lant exclusiveness, our feelings have revolted at an exhibition of false pride so derogatory to the Admiralty of Great Britain. We have recognized in the proceedings adopted towards Captain PENNY by the Arctic Committee, and subsequently by the late Lords Commissioners, conduct such as could only have called for the scorn of a NELSON and the regrets of a COLLINGWOOD. The " Blue Book" so frequently referred to of late in these columns, is enough of itself to show the consequential manner some officers in the Royal Navy have deemed it tbe,right of ,their cloth to assume towards the very able and intelligent navigator who happened by ill luck to be nothing ,more illustrious than a simple captain of a whaler. Had Captain PENNY been fortunate enough to inhale his first breath of the salt-water-breeze with a " midshipman's curse" em broidered on his jacket, he would have had some little more consideration shown towards him during the course of the recent investigation. We should not then have heard any impertinent allusions to him as Mr. PENNY either from the floor of the House of Com mons, or under the roof-tree of the Admiralty—either by Admiral BERKELEY or.by any other of " the Lords Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of England." It might, one would suppose, have entered into the remembrance of the Arctic Com mittee that history is fraught with proofs that the letters R.N. are not by any means essential to the professional capacity of any man as a Sea Captain. The glorious discoverer of Polynesia was no less admirable a navigator from the fact of his having first learnt to handle a tarry rope among the colliers of Newcastle. COLUMBUS, again, was surely not the leas entitled to respect because he belonged originally to neither the royal navy of Northern Italy or of the Peninsula, having acquired the rudiments of seaman ship in the merchant vessels trading from the ports of Genoa and Lisbon. Countless exaenplss of a very distinguished character, though infeeior, it must be admitted, to the pre-eminent instance:a afforded by the biographers of COOKE and Coeuecaus, might be adduced to shoes that men may learn the difficult , science of navigation elsewhere than under the flag of a royal navy, be it the Royal Navy. of England, of Spain, of Sardinia, or of any other state in Chris tendom. Because Captain PENZIY was not Captain PENNY, R.N., but simply the Captain of a whaler in the Arctic seas—he was not, therefore, we conceive, to be treated with the contempt and contumely only displayed, under like circumstances, to a man who has shown the grossest ignorance and the most culpable incapacity. Such,, however, it is not for a moment pretended is the oharge directed against Captain PENNY by captain AUSTIN, by the Arctic Committee, or by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. His crime was merely that of not belonging to the Royal Navy of England. He had behaved adminsbly through out the whole of the last expedition in search of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. Nobody del Lied that. He had even acquired for himself the distinguished credit of being the first, and as yet the only navigator who had discovered any actual and substantial indications of the route taken by FRANKLIN and his missing com panions. Tife Blue Book proclaimed. the fact. It was a circumstance.notorious to eve ryone. It was known, moreover, that, besides lighting upon the track of the Lost Expedition, be had offered to proceed at once some hundreds of miles further upon the line of his discovery, if only allowed to pilot a steam-ship on through the open water, beyond Wellington Channel. Yet the respo n sibility of the abrupt and blundering return was transferred to his shoulders from those of captain AU : , TlN—because Captain PENNY was not Captain PENHY, R.N.; and in addition to this, he was studiously treated in a manner the most overbearing am! consequen tial, as if the command of a w baler in the Arctic seas was really one of the most degrading and despicable duties that could possibly devolve upon a created being. Against this course of proceeding we have long since and repeatedly entered the strongest protest to which our vocabulary could enable us to give utterance. Against i 1 s recurrence we shall always raise our voice in the loudest tones and in the most decisive language. As supplementary evidence that such has actually been the bearing assumed by officers of the Royal Navy with reference to Captain PENNY, we may refer to a letter published elsewhere in our im pression of this evening, and addressed to ourselves by a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society—a letter recounting the fact of the personali ties indulged in, before that society, by Sir EDWARD BELCHER— personalities so gross and ungenerous., as having reference to one who was absent, that they twice called forth the interposition of the Peesident, Sir RODERICK MURCHISON. The statements. of our cor respondent will speak for themselves, az id to them we allude, therefore, as to additional testimony of that professional arrogance which we shall always take occasion to reprobate as frivolous in, itself, if it were not at the same time seriously detrimental to the character of the Maritime Serv',...ce of Great 1 Britain. Whatever may be said ou other points., the fate of the Ministry must be decided on its fiscal and com mercial policy. The post selected by Mr. DISRAELI is, therefore, to all intents and purposes, at this moment not only the most onerous, but by far the most important in the Cabinet. As it is. to his skilful andt energetic exerti on s th a t th e crea ti o a o f th e pre - Government may chiefly be attributed, so it is on his shoulders that the weight of sustaining it must mainly rest. Al though opposed, in many respects, to the politi cal views and opinions of the party in power, we are yet dispos e d to make every reasonable allowance for the difficulties of th e i r position and to exhibit W the fair play whi ch eve r Unglishn; an accords even to his most bitter opponeynt. e o are f t ‘ h ` rr e y e b e r - a t s r e a :1 a a r s n d " g in the most extensive significatio n it is our anxious desire to remove the remainin clogs and shackles , by wh ich our trade and commerce are fettered and impeded. W e do not ex desideratum with out pect to achieve this great tit , man ti until a consider a bl e Jan anxious struggle, an per iod has elapsed. We must take it by instalment s , . "(I we are convinced that we are fi rm ly m ore likely to no means inc ons i derable obtain a by inci Payment on account from the present Administration than from their predecessors —that greater progress in the right direction may be anticipated from B. JAMIR DISRAELI than from Sir CHARLES W OO „ ) . But it is said that a preliminary question arises— that the most important branch of free trade may b e endangered, v i z ., t h e f ree and un t a xed importation of articles of primary necessity, such as cereals of every description, meat, &c., by sanctioning the retention of office by persons avowedly desirous of imposing a tariff on all such commodities. It is necessary, therefore. that the question should be forthwith " settled" —That no breathing time should be afforded to the new men—but that they should be com pelled forthwith to recant their former opinions, and enter into the most solemn pledges to keep the peace towards corn, flour, &c., binding themselves down , under heavy recognizances, never at any future period to disturb the arrangement entered into in 1846. This is the opinion of Mr. Conn E • • ' 11 ) Wlll6, it 18 needless to say, must ever carry considerable w e i g ht with Free-traders. It is to promote and gain converts i to this line of policy that the Honourable Gentleman LONDON, has entered upon a new crusade, and has resumed the activity which he laid aside in 1846. Believing, however, that it is an exceedingly injudicious and mistaken policy which he is advocating, and that he is at present appealing rather to the passions than to the reason—that : he is, without the slightest necessity, exciting a panic, the results of which may be very prejudicial to the cause of Reform, Parliamentary, fiscal, and financial, we feel it an imperative duty to protest against the course indicated by the Hon. Gentleman. He insists on the immediate settlement of the question. Why, it is settled ; it has been long since settled,, and it is he himself who is once more forcing on an unnecessary discussion, and disturbing the entire country, arraying class against class, on a matter that would probably never again be heard of —but for his denunciations. It is quite certain that during the present session the question will not be brought forward by or on the part of Ministers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has for some time advised that the subject should be placed in abeyance until the nation should pronounce on the matter at the next general election in unequivocal and unmis takeable language. The PREMIER, too, spoke clearly and distinctly on the point when explaining in the hereditary branch of the Legislature the reasons which prevented him from forming a Ministry in 1851, when her MAJESTY had confided the important trust to his charge. He said, " that in his judgment the opinion of the country had not yet been taken upon that important subject; that at a general election the country will have an opportu nity of declaring its opinion, and that if that opinion should be hostile to the views which he entertained, he would then bow to the decison of the country, and abandon. Protection for ever." Such a pledge from a nobleman not merely of unimpeached integrity, but who is admitted by even his most strenuous opponents to be "of the most chivalric honour," is too important to be lightly relinquished. It will, we doubt not, be maintained to the very letter. Let every preparation then be made for the contest. Let every open constituency (alas I. that the word "open " must still be used) be canvassed by a Free-trader, and let the opinion of the country— the calm and deliberate opinion, firmly but temperately expressed, be given on the question, and then the promise of the Earl of DERRY will be valid and unimpeachable, and we venture to say will be strictly fulfilled; and the great party of which he is the head will see the propriety—nay, more, the ne cessity, of abandoning their untenable demands. But if it be otherwise—if the apple of discord be again flung abroad, and the passions of the people excited to the highest pitch, we may have many bitter partizans returned, who will refuse to abide by the decision of their leader, and the question will be kept open, a perpetual source of irritation and annoyance, occasioning the greatest disquietude and injury to all parties. Let us, then, avoid the factious course, and confident in the strength and justice of our cause patiently abide the period when the several constituencies must proclaim at the hustings their undying devotion to the sacred Cause of " untaxed food," and their determination to maintain the position that has already been achieved by indefatigable and energetic exertions. Placing that all-important subject aside, let us look to other matters. First comes the income tax, that unequal, inquisitorial, and oppressive im post, that has disgusted the nation, and which we verily believe mainly led to the Ministerial resignation of 1851, and the change of Govern ment of 1852. Sir CHARLES WOOD staked the exist ence of his party on retaining the most objectionable provisions without change or modification. He ex hibited, indeed, an unreasoning and obstinate per versity that disgusted his friends and delighted his opponents. We can never hope for any beneficial alteration at his hands, but Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. HERRIES and others have declared that it would be impossible to maintain the obnoxious impost, in its present objectionable form, and that if it is to be retained as a source of permanent revenue, it must be rendered more equitable. To which of the parties, then, are we to look for relief on this deeply interest ing subject? Not to the 'Whigs, certainly ! And we can only hope for it by showing fair play to their successors. Again the taxes on knowledge come before us. We recollect the stereotyped answer of Sir CLIARLES Woo"), that the paper, advertisement, and newspaper stamp duties produced so many thousands per annum, which he was certainly not prepared to relinquish. From him relief was hopeless. The paper manufacturer should be still annoyed by the most vexatious Excise regulations, cheap literature should be discouraged, if not prohibited; the wretched sempstress seeking for employment, the maid of all work requiring a situation, should still contribute as highly to the revenue as the nobleman offering for sale an estate worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Mr. DISRAELI may correct these crying grievances. We believe that he is disposed to do so, and look for ward, at least with some degree of hope, to his pro positions. We would not remove that pleasing anti cipation by the premature restoration of the family party to office, especially if they should by that resto ration be imbued with the idea that no other Govern ment would be tolerated by the country. If we consider the other Excise duties or assessed taxes the result will be the same. From whence is there the greatest prospect of obtaining a remission of the hop duties ? a most unjust and unwarrantable tax, indefensible indeed on any true fiscal principle, being practically, and, as we have long since asserted, neither more nor less than direct robbery on a certain class, who, because they held lands more than usu ally valuable, were selected as proper parties to be cruelly and . most unjustifiably plundered. Again, the malt-tax, and others of a similar character, will probably be taken into consideration, and we may reasonably anticipate early legislation with respect thereto. The poor-rates and other local taxation may very probably be eqUalized, or at least in some degree more equitably apportioned than at present We cannot, perhaps, expect that everything will at once be effected, but we shall at least have some chance of seeing the course entered upon. Let the country, then, wait for the production of Mr. DISRAELI'S budget before a final opinion is formed. If we should be disappointed, if he should enter on a retrograde course, we will oppose him with all our strength ; but once more we say, it is measures, not men, that are to be regarded, and we should not reject really beneficial propositions because they emanate from a quarter that may be regarded with some delve* of suspicion.

We havc., received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Patrie, in a paragraph marked "communi cated," declares that the rumours which have been in circulation for some days past, of modifications in the Ministry, are totally destitute of foundation. The same journal says : " We understand that everywhere the clergy, actuated by a spirit of order and con c ili at i on , h ave supporte d t h e Government candidates," BRITISEC RAILWAYS. The same journal adds :-- " The department of the Saone- et-Loire, which had sent to the Legislative Assembly twelve Mountaineer representatives, eight of whom have been expelled from France, have elected almost unanimously Count Louis de Barbentsne , M. Schneider, formerly Minister of Prince Louis Napoleon; General Brunet :Denon, and Count de Moreton Chabrillan. In the department of La Vendb?, we have likewise to speak of a decided progress in the point of view of governmental ideas; for a great length of time this department has sent to our Legisla tive Assemblies men belonging to the opposition. On the present occasion the opposition has sustained a marked check, as out of three nominations the Govern ment has obtained two —namely, those of M. St. Her mine and M. Alfred Leroux. This result proves, that even in La Vendee, the head-quarters of Legitimacy, the popu l at i on s have felt th e necess i ty o f ra ll y i ng roun d th e on ly Government which can ensure th e t ranqu illity and prosperity pSheeerviC onstitzeiann e l says : Several of the cou n t ry. " ral arrondissements will have to proceed to new elections on the 14th inat, It is to be remarked that it .. i s a lmost exclusively in thi c kly i n h a bit e d l oca lities that this occurs. Lisle, Rennes, and Arras are so situated as well as Paris. .n the localities, on the contrary, where the population is more divided, or where the country element predominates, the majorities are enormous. Thus it is evident that the electors have well compre hended that, atter having given eight millions of votes to the President of the Republic in order to found the constitution of the country, they could not return against him a be wrang ling asked from Fresco the power of doing good, and good will done." and disturbing opposition. He has We read in the sa me j ou rnal : " The electors of th e P u y-d e -DOme paid no attention to the Ministerial:d ec i s i on , forbidding any Government can didate to stand for two places at the same tim e, and w hi c h prevented M. d e M orn y from coming forward for the first circumscription of Paris. Although only stand ing for one 1 p•ace, M. de Morny has been elected without his knowledge in two circumscriptions of the Puy-de- Dome. This double nomination is a marked homage paid to bis courageous conduct when in office." The Mon4eur publishes a note confirming the an nouncement already made by the Patrie that the Minister of Fi nance h as g iven orders to have journals, oc cup i e d exc l us i ve ly with subjects re lating to th e arts, sc i ences, from the dut y i mpose d on new spapers by the decree of Feb. 17. an d agriculture, exempted _ _ _ The io lif°- technique, niteur publishes the program me of t h e in - struction as drawn up by a comm ission, and required for admission to th e Ecole ap provedPoly- of by the Minister of War. It extends over several columns. " It is announced," says the Constitutionnel, " that a decree on the university, on the faculty of sciences and letters, and on the faculty of law and medicine, t that a t divisionit at is to be p u bli s h e d i n t h e M on iteur in a few days. The syst em o f contours w ill be maintained in the faculties o f l aw an d me dicine only for the places of professor s agr e g e s.

Such is not the fact. If we are well informed, all the measures adopted in the new decree are only intended to lead to the regular development of a more moral, more extensive, and more assiduous course of instruction ; the pupils removed from their family are to be sub jected to a paternal and useful superintendence, and our ultra-political orators will no longer boast, it is to be hoped, of the sympathy and support of the youth of the schools." A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic ap pears in the Moniteur this morning convoking the Legislative Assembly for the 29th inst. We read in the Constitutionnol :—" A rumour has prevailed at the Bourse that M. DE PERSIGNY had been charged with a mission to Germany, and that he had left Paris two days back. This news is inexact, as M. DR PERSIGNY has not quitted his post. He was present yesterday at a Council of Ministers held at the Elysee." A third ball, it is announced, is to be given at the Tuileries immediately after the opening of the Chambers. The Bourse was heavy on Saturday, and public securities declined slightly. The Five per cents. opened at 1061. 10c., rose to 1061. 30c., f( , 11 subsequently to 105 f. 75e., and cloyed at 1051. 95c. for the end of the month.

In Railway Shares there was no change, but not much was done. Bills were in request upon all places except Frankfort. Money was abundant and discounts were low. Later accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope. The war was progressing more favourably, and the recall of Sir Harry Smith was disapproved of by the colonists. West India advices have come to hand by a Govern ment steamer. They do not notice any important change in the weather or the prospects of the crops.

T pt Gazette of F ran kf or t pu bli s h es , under the P"tain the head of Berne, March 2, the text of the note respecting French refugees presented by the French Ambassador .to the Swiss G overnmen t. Aft er enlarging upon the r ight of the French Government to demand that Switzerland should no t b e ma d e the focus of intrigues against France, the ambassador says :—" I demand a formal promise that every ex pulsion of refugees that I may solicit shall be granted, Frenchwi without political t inquiringlitical to what cat egor y b e l ong the refugees affected by this measure ; and, moreover, that the orders of the central power shall be executed on the terms prescribed beforehand, without mitigation by the authorities of the cantons. The Ambassador of France is alone in a position to know the individuals whose former or present rela tions render impossi ble .y the p ro l onga ti on o f th e ir re sidencet w on , the i f t their te r t o r e of the Helvetic Confedera tion, as well as th o se to whom toleration may be oconduct should render them The first m us t l eave as soon as are desgnated, and th e o th ers mus t be wrshhoynof they i from the be permitted to remain Fe deral Government, in in Switzerland o n condition of their giving no cause for complaint. Th e P RESIDENT o f the Republic told they expects can f ro consideration of the relations which he wishes to keep up with it, and which a re f usa l t o sa ti s fy would gravely compromise, that it w ill g i ve hi m this proof of friendship and good neighbourhood, which have been so long traditional in Switzerland. A different line of conduct would produce sad complications, and impose upon the Governme n t of the Republic the duty of devising measures, which, it is true, it would apply very unwillingly, but which it would be forced to adopt, if the demand which I have the honour to address to your Excellency should fail in its object." The Assembly of Lubeck h as r e jected the propo sition made to it tointerdict the Jews from following commercial pursuits. ITALY. --- - It would appear that the disturbances in the Island of Sardinia were more serious than was at first believed, since we learn from the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 22d, that the Piedmontese Govern ment has ordered further reinforcements to be sent there, besides that which sailed on the Ist. By a decree of the 29th ult. the King of SARDINIA has confirmed Baron MARNO in the office of President of the Senate, and Marquis CESARB ALFIERI in that of Vice-President. CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAT).—The new Ministers again assembled in Council this afternoon, at two o'clock, at the Foreign -office. There were present the Earl of Derby, Lord St. Leonards, the Duke of Northumberland, the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord John Manners, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Locsdale, the Earl of Malmesbury, Sir John S. Pakington, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, and the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli. There are, we understand, to be one or two more meetings of the Ministers before the re assembling of the House of Commons on Friday next. A neat confectioner's shop, recently altered and much improved by Mr. Millard, and adjoining the Camden road Railway st a ti on, took fire at a b out e l even o ' clock last (Sunday) night. The fire occurred from the oven, which w as under the shop, and the flames, rushing up the staircase, soon set the upp er part of the house in a blaze and destroyed the whole building. Th ere was no lif e lost. EXHIBITION OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS, NEW YORK.—The following are the names of the committee in New York :—Francis W.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY-) CORN EXCHANGE—MOND AY. The leading provincial markets held on Saturday were seasonably well supplied with home grown Wheats, in which only a limited business was doing, and, in some instances, prices gave way iS per quarter. Foreign Wheats were mostly held at full currencies. Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as dear; but grinding on" distilling sorts commanded very little attention. Mal t dull, but not cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas realized previous rates. The Flour trade was less active, and low qualities were difficult of disposal. In France, the corn trade has been in a very dull state, at barely the late decline. Most of the markets up the Baltic and Black Seas have ruled very firm for Wheat, on rather higher terms. The demand for Flour in the United States, at the date of our last advices, was firmer. Up to our market last week, the receipts o f Eng e li 4l were very moderate: From abriad, the imports wer 9,511 quarters of Wheat, 1,616 Barley , 11,373 Oat, 687 Beans, 544 Peas, 4,379 Tares, 1,732 Linseed, 2.138 Rapeseed, 37 sundry seeds, 3,163 sacks and 3,878 barrels of Flour. The news at hand to the effect that the free bole tion of grain and flour is now permitted in the whole ° on the states of the Zollverein bad little or no effect up the minds of buyers here to-day. Fresh up this morning the receipts of Wheat coastiv°ibs° from Essex and Kent were but moderate, yet we may d. but 5 serve that the general quality of the samples was go o ._ From the east coast the supply at hand was small, 1 _.. full average condition. By railway only a limited V at . tity reached us. Notwithstanding that the show of Pt s eels of both red and white was far from extensive; tiq; demand for all descriptions was very inactive , andlo.ute difficulty was experienced in effectingi a c learance ol stands, even though some of the factors su bmitted to c i decline of is per quarter in the value of low sn middling qualities. The heaviness in the trade may bo chiefly French attributed A to m i e h r e i c a comparativ ely flourd 1 afrogre sale quantities ofo f the evincing some anxiety to realize; hence, (16° 1 qualities were the turn easier. In the value of towPs, made Flour, no change took place; but the amount of business doing in it was small. Wheats fr o f Numerous offers came to hand to ship the East coast. Buyers, in general, operated with treme caution. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, su t f l ; plied with Foreign Wheat, bat the majority' 0' dull, s amples were light. On the whole, the trade WO hut we have no material change to notice in prices. 0. Floating cargoes off Falm,,uth were in moderate r quest, chiefly for Holland and Belgium. dear Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as importer grinding and distilling sorts moved off blowly, at late rates. yet The show of Malt was quite equal to the dernanu, late figures were well supported, the best quali ties be-13- worth 606 er .
