Sir,—May I request that you will be good enough to publish thti following explanation of my ou the Naval Estimate', part of whit& you4aavolio your oe lumng o 1 to day_ 1. I distinctly followed your advice. given in your article of a few weeks since; that is, I attacked the items celled " wages to artificers" and materials for ship building. These together account for nearly 1,500,0001. I contended, and contend, that that amount ought to give us many more line-of-battl e s hi ps than we p os sess. At the rate of 1,0001. a gun, we ought to h a ve for our money ten ships a year at th e least; and as these ought to last, with care, in time of peace 40 years, wo ought now to possess, after 37 ' years of peace, 370 such ships. In point of fact we:have nothing like this number. Where has the money gone to? building - ships, and the oth er i n destroying t h em , and hence" the beggarly ac count of empty" bulks we now have to deplore.. The dockyards are the huge vortex into which the publie r eso u rces have been poure d an d wasted. One portion has g one in 2. I contended that our expenditure for 40,000 men ought to be 2,000,000/. at the outside, o n the ground that able Soamen can be obtai ned for 11. a week to find themselves. Our payment for wages, victuals, half - pay, and military pensions and a ll owances is 3,173,6 851. The above sum of 2,000 0001., i n addition to 1,000,000/ de voted to shipbuilding, and a margin of 1,000, 000/. for pay of officers ( ho are P• 1 ner'd on half-pay too soon) and suudrits, would make 4 000 , 0 00 1 ; in all — a sum ample tor the..uval defence of th e nation on the suppos i t i o n t h a t we k e ep the b u lk o f our force at home, and sen d steam fleets to points whe ro t h eir ' presence i s wanted., NOVVOUT actual cost this y ear wilt be 5,600,0 001. an d more. My proposal would, therefore, save over a mil lion and a half a year, which might be applied to liqui date debt. -3. I pointed out the inadequate defence of the arsenal at-Plymouth, showing that our expensive fortifications may be " turned" from the land side south of the dockyard. a 4 . . I showed that Keyham was the wrong p i ece f or steam docks, which should h ave been at Mill bay, where nature had made a s pl endid basin, now used f or mercantile purposes, and in t h e course of being part i a ll y Riled in to make a kind of wharf ; i n f ac t, a stranger, watching what goes on a. Ply mouib, would say," These people are insane. Here is bureau labour employed in digging out QUO leviathan duck andfilling up another, while mud is thrown into the entrance of the h ar b our, and ships pulled to pieces as f ast as they can b e b u il t. " It may now be too late to mend th e Key bam case ; but, if so, and if the dock be absolutely and immediatey ne cessary, why do the Admiralty only ask for 40,000/. for ibis year's ex penditure on that work ? The w hole es timate was 1,225.0001., of which the amount already voted has been 833,000/., and the further estimate is 352,0001. before the, work can . b e completed. Conse quently many years will elapse before the " job' will be done, , , f we only- spend 40.000/, a year on it ; and before the.happy period arrives we may find out we could have dispensed with our labour altogether. 5. Inquired of the Admiralty whether in future it was intended to rercommission ship s "all standing," that is, when in a state of highest efficiency, when a practised and thoroughly disciplined crew is on board of each ship, and when "things have shaken well to gether" alter three years' experience, or whether they meant to dismantle each craft entirely on cowing home, hewing, hacking, and destroying materials to save time and show " smartness" in the art of pulling to pieces, and sending the men about their business—in other words, to be plundered by sharpers of both sexes who await the unhappy seaman on the shore of his grateful country. The reply of the Secretary of the Admiralty was satisfactory; Trusting that, as my remarks were made in the capa city of a' fellow-labourer of your own, attacking waste ful expenditure, you will make that clear which the very different reports of the morning papers have made I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. 8.

A s soon as p ossible, t he driver " brought up." It Ives then found that one arm and one leg had bgen completely severed from the body, and the foot was so firmly wedged into the side of the " metal," at the Ruslington Brook-crossing; that it could not be removed withoitt the aid of a crowbar. The poor fellow was of course killed 'on'the spot. ' . • RocLailTfit C ATH EDRAL . G RAMMAR SCHooL.— The Rev: R.

The Moniteur announces that the disputes between France and Morocco have been completely settled. - The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the proposition of the Minister of „Foreign Affairs, has conferred the deco ration of Commander of tha Legion of Honour on M. BOURREE, Consul• General and Charge d'Affaires of France at Morocco, as a mark of satisfaction at the important services he bas rendered during his mission at Tanjiers. The lioniteur contains a decree regulating the position of the Senate and Legislative Corps with re spect to the President, end the system upon which their proceedings will be conducted. . Another decree determines that the judges and magistracy shall take the oath of allegiance to the PRESIDENT. The Pritne DE CAMEO has left Paris for Rome. M. JANVIER, the Councillor of State, died tin Monday from the attack of apoplexy which he had on Friday last. A telegraphic dispatch from Brussels announces that MM. D'HAUSSONVILLE and Tnoitias, accused of publishing a libel on the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, in the Moniteur Francais, have been ac quitted. The accused were defended by M. BAR TELS. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" It is, as already stated, at the Tuileries, in the Salle des Marechaus, that the sitting of the Senate and Legislative Body on the 29th will be held. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, surrounded by his aides-de-camp, his orderly officers, his Ministers, and the council of state, will be placed on a raised platform ;. opposite the PRESIDENT of the Republic will be, on one side the Senate, and on the -ether the Legislative Rody. The Pain% PRRSIDENT will deliver kspeech. A form of an oath will then be read, and each member of the Senate and of the Legislative Body, on his name being called over, will pronounce from his place the words—je 2. jurc /- The clergy. the- magistracy, and the diplomatic body will be represented at this solemnity. A small num ber of places will be reserved in an upper gallery for persons receiving invitations." The same journal says :—" Certain foreign jour nals continue to affirm that there is a regular rush of persons at the offices of the Minister of Finance, de manding reimbursement of Five per Cent.

SPAIN. The accounts from Madrid are of the 18th inst. Tho Court is to leave for Aranjuez in the begin ning of April. General JOAQUIN ARMERO, lately appointed Cap tain-General of Estramadura, had gone to take leave of Queen CHRISTINA, at Aranjuez, and was to proceed from thence to Bsdajoz. The QUEEN intended to present the POPE with a splendid painting of Munlia.o, and, a number of car riage horses from the royal stables of Aranjuez. The Gazette contains a decree giving the Canary Islands a new administrative organization. Those islands are future to be divided into two districts.

A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, states that a meeting of the different parties composing the two Chambers of PruSsia had been held, for the purpose of coming td an understanding ea to the duration of the - prorogatinv. M. DR MaraTturrEv, the Minister, had been invited to atten, but bad refused, as he said that the Government would not consent to a pro rogation of more than ten or twelve days. The Cassel Gazette, which is said to be in com munication with the Hanoverian Cabinet, publishes an analysis of the protest made by Hanover against the interference of the Diet in the question pending between the Government and the equestrian order of Hanover. It is stated in a letter from Vienna that the two Grand Dukes of Russia, who are now there, have brought an invitation from the Emperor of RUSSIA to the Emperor of AUSTRIA to be present at the intended grand fetes in Warsaw in the month of June. DENMARK. The Ministry have successfully passed through the Parliamentary crisis, the Opposition in the Diet having concluded not to pass the address of non-con fidence, in consequence of the explanations made by the Ministry with regard to the great dangers of a change of Ministry under the present critical and unsettled relations of the country. Both Chambers have set aside the address and adopted, on the 16th inst., by large majorities, the following resolution:— " Resolved, that though entertaining apprehensions with regard to the carrying out of the principles of the Royal manifesto of the 28:h of January last, the Cham ber, acknowledging it to bo inadvisable, under the ex isting circumstances, to adopt the proposed address, dec'des to proceed with the discussion of the order of the day." The Diet having thus decided not to resist the policy proclaimed in the Royal manifesto of the 28th of January, all the obstacles which have hitherto been in the way of the definitive settlement of the Danish question, both with respect to the constitu tional organization of the country and the arrange ment of the succession, may be regarded as removed. With respect to the succession, the choice of an English Prince—one of Queen VICTORIA'S younger sons—has lately been proposed by some of the Danish papers. The choice of a successor to the Danish Crown cannot, however, be regarded as any longer open. The House of Hesse and the Emperor of RusslA, whose eventual rights to the succession in different parts of the present monarchy interfered with the establishment of a common law of succes sion for- the whole country, have renounced all tbeir claims and pretensions expressly and solely in favour of Prince CHRISTIAN of Holstein-Glucksburg as suc cessor to the sovereignty over the whole monarchy; and this choice has met the approval of all the great Powers. The choice of Prince CHRISTIAN is emi nently a " Danish" choice, and perhaps the only one that could be made as satisfactory both to Denmark and to all the great Powers. The choice of any Prince be longing to one of the reigning families among the great rowers would be certain to meet with the op position of the rest of those Powers. The prorogation of the Danish Diet is expected to take place on the 20th inst. The Diet will meet again in October. EGYPT. Intelligence has been received from Alexandria to the 7th instant. Nothing has been decided relative to the Turco- Egyptian question. It appears certain that the last letter of ABBAS PACIIA has irritated the Sur.TAN, and that ABDUL-MEDJID sent it back to the Grand Visir with an annotation in the margin, to the effect that "he could not, be ought not, and he would not consent to give up the point relative to the Tanzimat." It is, in consequence, supposed that the next letter to the VICEROY will be of a menacing character, and will order him absolutely to obey the decision of the Porte. The representations of Sir S. CANNING are not looked on as serious. The other legations abstain altogether. The VICEROY has just returned to Cairo, from his excursion t o Upper ypt, end it was not Eg yet known what effect the last news from Constanti nople had on him. On the 29th February four Pachas had arrived at Alexandria from Constantinople, in the Me4jcli o steamer. It was said that they were proceeding t o Mecca, and that they were charged to land a letter to the VICEROY on their way. They at once set out f o r Cairo. The works on the section of the railway betw een Alexandria and Damauhour had been at last ast com menced, although but little has been don however, shows that the enterprise has not been 'abandoned. • The Duke DE LEUCRTENBURG was expected at Al exan dria on the 7th March, and was immediately to embark in the French steamer, the Marseilles. Osiris, for The American Minister had an interview with Lord Colchester yesterday at the Board of Trade. [PRICE SD. SPORTING NOTES. No. CXCIV. THE NORTHAMPTON MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU2 SlR,—Singular to relate, the present meeting at Northampton seems very likely to pass away without giving the Ring tha benefit, of a few heavy showers of rain, a circumstance that has not oecurrtd, to my know ledge, for the last seven or eight years. The course is very hard, and very likely to give the tender-footed ones a slight shaking. My accounts received up to eleven o'clock this morning advise me that the following will be the fields for to-morrow's races:— Earl Spencer's Plate—The Prime Minister, Heart breaker, Thornhill, Forrester, Layburne, Serus, Colt by Prince ('aradoc, Lady Agnes (d), Timid Fawn, Free dom, Water Lily, Butterfly, filly by Ballinkeele out of Dar', and gelding by Don John, dam by Priam. Catalpa is us yet the only declared nonstarter. The Althorp Park Stakes—King David, Balloon, Stone Plover (d), Nathan, colt by Assault, dam by Lanercost, Pobtulanr, Rumour,. Sister to Iracnadus, Altitude, Glonavon, and perhaps one or two others of no account whatever. Whaleb,:ne, Gossip, Molasses, and Heliogabalus are on the missing list. Northamptonshire Cup Stakes—Clothworker, Abdal lab, Milkboy (d), Brother to Willingham, Paddy Bird, and Pancake. Chief Justice and Mark Tapley, I believe, do not run. Delapre Stakes—Black Doctor, Incurable, trinket (d), Edward of York, Paddy Bird (d), Harnbletonian, Loophole, and Tumbler. Innkeepers' Plate—Ballet Girl, Milkboy (d), Aria (d), rochibars, and Passion colt. My opinion on the,A.lthorp Park Stakes I can render more poaitive than before, by stating that there is little doubt but that Nat on GLENAVON will catch the judges' eye first, and that Altitude and the Assault colt will be the nearest in 'attendance. Not knowing'whether CLOTHWOEHER is to be the TIIOII - 037 LOls© tOr.ihe-Vokip-StiaL‘Atiio6 l r) his ahsenc!l must-look to Paricake or - Nast Bird ittr the -w i nne r; and txr,ect to see Brother to close tip. The Innkeepers' Plate I consider a foregone conclusion in favour of FocuanEue or Ba.uxr the former for choice. I am still of the opinion I expressed on Monday with respect to Earl Spencer's Plate. preferring the PRIME MINISTER, with all his weight, to the crack Dart filly or Freedom; but as he has shown specimens of want of heart on several occasions latterly, if ho should be des tined to be beaten, I fancy it will be by the Prince Ca radoc colt or Freedom, and that the foremost portion of the rest will consist of Timid Fawn and the Dart filly. The betting this morning is brisk, the principal busi ness being on to-day's events, which I need not record. The prices on to-morrow's races rule as follow:—De lapre Stakes-2 to 1 agat Paddy Bird, 3 to 1 agst the Black Doctor. Earl Spencer's Plate-3 to 1 agat Free dom, 5 to 1 agst Dart filly; 6 to 1 agat Layborne; 6 to 1 agst Prince Caradoc colt, 7 to 1 agat the Prime Minister, 7 to 1 agat Thornbill, 8 to 1 agst Heartbreaker, 8 to 1 agat Timid Fawn, 10 to 1 agst Forester, 10 to 1 agst Butter fly, 50 to 1 agat Catalpa. Althorp Park Stakes-2 to 1 agst Glenavon, 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 taken freely; little or nothing doing about any other; Rumour and Assault colt talked about, 10 to 1 would be taken about either; 10 to 1 offered agst the Fyfield couple. Cup Stakes -3 to 1 each agst Pancake and Brother to Willingham; nothing else mentioned. Innkeepers' Plate-3 to 1 each agst Foobabero and Ballet Girl, taken freely; 5 to 1 any other. Through the imperfect caligrapby of my "man of business," a most ridiculous mistake occurred in yester day's note in reference to the Whittlebury Stakes, which made out that Early Bird, who has been dead some time, was a starter and backed at 10 to 1; it should have been King David who is the starter in question, and who was supported at 10 to 1 to a good bit of money.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day,) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Africa of the !Oat instant brings advices corroborating the Baltic's report of a gain of ie. to ie. per lb. to the sellers of cotton in the Nt.w York anti southern markets. But we have also a statement that the latest telegraphic announce-' meet was that of a decli ne o f i e. (from Bc. to 74c- for " ;diddling") had occurred on the Bth at New Orleans. The receipts wire heavy, viz, wetk against 78,148 i n the corrle3sop,oBn6d7inbgaiewseienkthoef les' year, and the total receipts 1,909,344 bales against 1,669,136 in 1851. The exports to Great Britain in the lest week were 70,734 balsa against 46,167 in the some week of 1651, the total exports 688,126 against 547,862; and the increase of the exports was likely to continue for some weeks. Opinion was more decidedly in favour of the larger estimates of the crop, say 2.800,000 bales at least. These accounts, together with a change in the direction of the wind which must rapidly bring in large accumulations of cotton on the seas, and also taken in Connexion with an, excess over last year of nearly 180,000 bales in the es timated stock of Liverpool, have sensibly checked that return of buoyancy which showed itself in our market at the latter end of last week; again exhibiting our sen-' sitiveness to any alteration in the raw material, whether proceeding from temporary or more permanent causea. Buyers have become more chary and sellers less indif ferent about business. The day's transactions have therefore been - comparatively small ia yarns; and water heist fly be had at ra decline of -fatly id• per - lb. most of its counts and forms. Mule yarns, - being" rela tively in better request, are not equally affected. The quotations for goods are unchanged, as there continues to be a pretty good, though somewhat diminished, demand for various descriptions. However, the general impression is, that no lasting decline in cotton will now take place ; and that our own prices will only be tem porarily affected. We learn that at Blackburn the weavers in some establishments have turned out on ac count of a dispute, not strictly in connexion with wages. ROCHDALE MONDLY.—The flannel market has been worse, if possible, than it was last week. The needy manufacturer has been obliged to forcoa m s a a ke lebtyhe wool taking lower prices, which has a tendency to dealer.more cautious in disposing of the raw material, as he is generally the sufferer by such proceedings. Wool has maintained its former price, but has been purchased very sparingly. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is scarcely anything doing in worsted goods, either in the piece ball or in the warehouses; and it is difficult to effect sales, even at a sacrifice. There is no change in yarn and wool, except perhaps that the dulness is increasing. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. —There has been rather more business doing in the cloth hall and warehouses to•day than last week; and judging from appearances, confidence in the stability of the spring trade is gaining ground. Fancy trouserings and light descriptions of vesting@ have been called for to-day ; and a fair qua n ti ty of broad superfine have met w ith sae. There has also been rather more doing in the wool warehouser. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufacturers have been doing a little more business, but prices are- unsa tisfactory. We are sorry to have to report another failure of a silk manufacturer in this town, who stopped payment yesterday. Ills liabilities are currently stated to be 10,000/. The Macclesfield silk trade have had established during the last three years a local board of trade for the purpose of regulating the prices of weaving, which consisted of twelve manufacturers and twelve weavers; Mr. Samuel Higginbotham, solicitor, as the chairman. On ,Monday evening last it was given up by the manufacturers, who have long treated it with indifference. A meeting was called by oir culars to all manufacturers in the town, and seven only attended; and it was unanimously agreed not to meet the operatives. A strike is anticipated in conscipence. In the thrown silk market a moderate business is doing, at priers which would not be at all remunerative from present rates of raw material. Raw Silk—The market is very firm, with an upward ten dency in China silk; the small quantity remaining in the hand of importers is generally held for an advance on current rates.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE PILOT. —Yesterday morning a commission of lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Green Man Hotel, Betbnal-green, to inquire into the state of mind of Thomas Charles Voy, a Trinity House pilot, late of Com mercial-road, and now an inmate of Dr. Phillips's Lunatic Asylum, Bethnal-green. Mr. Voy, on entering the room, said, in answer to " Good morning," b y the Commissioner, " Don't be too fast ; I'll see." The Commissioner—Aye, slow and sure. Mr. Voy—No; I was born before I was sure. The unfortunate man, who appeared to be in robust health, of the middle age, walked round the room, repeating, " I was born before I was sure. I am God Almighty." And, recognising his father in the corner of the room, he approached him, and seizing him by the hand, exclaimed violently, " This is God Almighty, the father of his son, who I am ;" and then, going round the apartment, be said to the Commissioner, " Yuu are the man of Ephraim, and you (wining to a juror) are Samson; I have fought for him—l am a patient God," &c. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Courtney said they had no doubt of Mr. Voy's insanity. Mrs. Voy was then called, and stated that they had lived upon the most affectionate terms up to the 4th of April, 1846. when her husband fell down the hold of a vessel in the London Docks, and injured his spine. She was perfectly satisfied with the treatment her husband received at Dr. Phillips' s . The Learned Commissioner then summed up, and the jury o immediately g t h o i u m n s d e I A I f o r.

The i n q uest was held in the en Wednesday upon the b od y of a child four years South M a i n-street. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the child of a m an named Edward Swiney, who lived in Simmon's-lane, and, having been out of employment, had been for some time supported by the charity of the So ciety of St. Vincent de Paul. On Tuesday, while Swiney's 'wife was out of the house, it appeared that he strangled the child by tying a skein of black thread tightly round her throat. the child was found lying dead in the cradle with the strinround its neck. Swiney was arrested hy two men, w ho live d in the same house, at Cunningham's public-house, near Patrick's -bridge. He was then given into the custody of Constable Geale, to whom, although cautioned against say i ng a nything, he stated that it was he who strangled the child. This statement he repeated when taken to the TuckeY street guard house. The motive of the deed cannot be con jectured. A verdict of wilful murder was returned by the jury. The prisoner, who appeared quite indifferent during the course of the proceedings, was then removed to the city gaol. —Cork Examiner. EXECUTION OF A. BANIERUPT.—At noon, on the 10th inst., just as the Exchange at Hamburgh, crowded with merchants, presented its business aspect, two drummers in the civic uniform came up and rolled their drums for the space of ten minutes, causing a great commotion both within and out of the Bourse. While this was going on, workmen were seen over the principal gateway . of the build ing elevating a black board, on which w as painted in whit e letters the name of a merchant of the c ity who had lately suspended payments and absconded with all his a3s , ts. When the name had been fairly set up, a bell called the " scband glocke" or shame bell, only rung on such occasions, was sounded for two hours from a tower of the Bours e . T his penalty of disgrace, called the " execution of a fraudulent bankrupt," is ordained by a law which can be tra ce d to the f our t e enth century, when the Hanseat ic league was at the height of its greatness. At that period, how ever the bank rupt's patent of citizenship and his certificate as a merchant, were also burnt by the hangman.
