It is only requisite to advert to the extraordinary discoveries of gold in Australia, with the immediate consequences now resulting therefrom, to account for the necessity for an addition to the existing banking accommodation' there, to meet as well the great and grow ing wants within the different colonies of Australia, as the demands arising from their largely extended and rapidly increasing inter course with the rest of the world. The fact that there are now only the same number of established banks in England having their field of operations in Australia, that existed many years back, when the population there was not one fourth, nor the commerce between the two countries one-tenth cf what it is at present, sufficiently establishes the necessity above alluded to, of an immediate addition to these indispensable auxiliaries to the transaction of mercantile and other business. In proof of the success that has attended the operations of the two principal Banks hero referred to-,-111 - set of Australasia, and the Union Bank of Au:trail - a—it is enough to menfidn, that the present market price of the 401. shares of the former is about 801., and ' the 251. shares of the latter 681. The great extension that has taken plane both in the internal and external trade of India, since the termination of the East India Com pany's monopoly, would alone warrant the introduction there of greater Banking facilities, but when the effect of the railways now in progress of construction in India, on its traffic, consumption and produetion, are also taken into consideration, together with the great interchange of commodities that is about to take place between it and Australia, it is evident that the forineroffers a tield for the em ployment of capital In banking, only surpassed by the latter country. This Bank will be massaged in London by a Board of Directors, whose business connexion, practical experience of Australia and India, acquired chiefly from long residence there, and the stake they will be required to hold in the Stock of the Bank, will afford the strongest guarantee for the mode in which its affairs will be conducted. To afford the most ample protection to the shareholders, the fol lowing express provisions will be introduced into the deed consti tuting the Company—lst. No advances shall be made on lands, growing crops, or other inconvertible securities of any kind. 2d. The issue of notes payable on demand, shall in no case exceed in the aggregate, one-half of the paid-up cap tai of the B lA ank, unless by the express consent of the Proprietary, in a eeting specially assembled for that purpose. 34. If, at any time, and from any combination of unforeseen circumstances, as much as one-quarter of the capital should be lost, it shall be incumbent en the Directors to announce that fact specially to the Shareholders, and to convene a meeting to decide on the measures to be adopted in consequence thereof. The accounts shall be audited by two public and paid a7couutants, named and appointed by the shareholders, to whom their report shall be submitted at, or before each half yearly meeting. In order to avoid the evils that experience has shown to result from the pressure of local influence on colonial boards, there will he no local boards of directs rs, but the business in Australia and India will be conducted by experienced, responsible, and trustworthy offi cers, from whom ample security will be required, and whose ma nagement will be under the constant supervision of competent in spectors, all being appointed by, and arcenable to, the London Board.

N TAX. _ dertak‘n twelve feats, one of which is more decidedly dangerous than all the rest, there is a species of eco nomical calculation in urging him to give it the prece dence, inasmuch as if he breaks hi; neck in the attempt the waste of laholavin the other less dangerous feats will be saved. Other gentlemen think that the Inhabited House Duty is the most critical part of the Budget, so, adopting Mr. Gladstone's rule of the worst first, they wish Mr. Disraeli to take it on Friday, and in fact it so stands for the present. If any precedent can be shown for making Ws the front of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's offending, we bow to correction ; but to us the arrangement appears altogether arbitrary, and we cannot conceive why it should be necessary to discuss a new tax when it is yet uncertain whether we want one or not. We. start not with a deficiency, ,but with a sur plus, which of itself is a case for remission. There is, then, at once a good and sufficient reason for discussing the question whether we can dispense with any tax, and, if so, with what tax. Should the proposed remisioin exceed the amount of the surplus, then arises the ques- (Rout the Times of yesterday.) Among the various conclusions of public opinion to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer adroitly gave a Ministerial expression, there was none more settled, positive, or universal than the establishment of a dis tinction between realised property and precarious in comes in assessing these • profits respectively to the service of the State. With only so much difference of opinion as showed the absolute freedom of the inquiry, the point had been ruled by the most elaborate and formal argument, but this argument itself had been pre ceded by that instinctive judgment of the public mind, which in the long run rarely errs. It was not a party question : it was a question of simple right and 'Wrong, which fell within the comprehension of all. We are not disposed on such a topic as this to submit the con clusiorui of our own selis3s to the arbitrary rule of whet is termed "authority," and we claim for the public wh: t Mr. Disraeli most constitutionally claimed for Ministers —" the right of acting rather in accordance with what they think just and proper themselves than in deference to the opinion .of others." if any person, however, should be persuading himself that this proposal of a Conservative Cabinet is less Conservative than it should be, or that it' savours in the smallest degree of " Man chester politics" or' clandestine democracy, we can at. once reassure him by a reference to Sir Archibald Alison himself. Even this most consistent and unyielding Tory, who still considers that the ruin of his country was inaugurated by the Reform Bill, will be found in sisting on that " most material point in any discussion upon • a property-tax—the injustice of taxing income derived from precarious and perishable sources at the same rate as that derived froni land or fixed and im perishable investment." Nevertheless, at the eleventh hour, Mr. Gladstone has started an objection to the proposed adjustment,,. which he rapturously declares must prove " wholly insupe rable," and to which he eagerly endeavours to commu nicate all that profound insolubility which an intellect well trained in such subtleties can create. His argument is this ;—A property-tax appropriates to uses of the State certain portions of the dividends of fundholders, whereas it was decreed when the said funds were established that. the dividends receivable thereon "lhould be free from, all taxes, charges, and impositions whatever." - Up- to the present time this alleged compact has been substantially observed ; for, although the fundholder has been duly taxed, he has been taxed only as a citizen of the State, exactly like all other citizens, and with no reference whatever to the quality of his income. Now, however, on the proposed principle of " going directly to the quality of the income," he will be taxed, not as a citizen, but as a fundholder, and such taxation will be in direct breach of the public faith as plighted to the original cre ditor. Such is Mr. Gladstone's argument, and, so de lighted is the right hon. gentleman with its apparent intricacies and bewilderments, that he forestals all rea. somng on the other side by a prelimenary and genera: contradiction ; describes the difference between him and his opponents as radical, fundamental, and insurmount able ; and finally, like an Irish patriot preparing to die on the floor of the house, asserts that so formidable is the nature of the difference, that it is impossible for him not to offer to any proposition of the kind, from the first to the last, the most strenuous opposition." It is almost cruel to rob such a disputant of such a topic, but we think we can make it plain to the simplest understand ing in the country that Mr. Gladstone's great argument has no ground whatever. In the first place, as regards what will be the real question before the house, it may seem strange to affirm, but it is nevertheless positive truth, that even if Mr. Gladstone could establish his point, it would not affect the general proposition. That proposition is, that realised property and precarious income shall no longer be considered identical for purposes of direct taxation. Mr. Gladstone's allegation is, that the fundholder pos sesses a certain guarantee against certain charges. As suming that to be proved according to his own views, what follows ? Not that substance and earnings are one and the same thing, or that schedules B, D, and E ought to be maintained as they stand, but that a par ticular description of property, although of undoubted reality and permanence, is taken out of the category of real and permanent property by special exemption of the law Omitting, however, this deduction, it will be evident to any person, after a few moments' consideration of the argument described above, that its fallacy lies in the sense attributed to the words " quality of the income." The observations of Mr. Pitt, on which so much stress was laid, were as follows :—" Whenever an idea has' been started of imposing upon the stockholder sepa rately and distinctly any sort of tax, I have reprobated the attempt as utterly inconsistent with the good faith of public engagement. But the matter is materially reversed when a tax is to be levied on the income of every description of persons in the realm ; when it is nc longer in the power of the stockholder to say, '1 couh avoid this tax by.rernoving my property from the fund to landed' Iceurity dr to trade. I should say - to - the stockholder, - as otto of the public, If you expect from the state the protection which is common to us all, yo' ought also to make the sacrifice which we are called upon to make. It is not peculiar to you ; it does not belong to the quality of your income ; but it is made general, and required from all.' " Now, we are sure few readers can be at a loss to see that Mr. Disraeli'a proposition is perfectly compatible with the principles here laid down. The promised reduction of the percent age to the different values of property and labour will leave Mr. Pitt's arguments just where they stood be fore. It will not tax "the stockholder separately and distinctly ;" it will only tax his property exactly in the same ratio as other properties of the like nature. The tax will be levied, not on his income exclusively, but on every description of income corresponding to his. It will still be out of his power to say, " I could avoid this tax by removing my property to landed securi t y or trade, for his lande investment would be taxed just the same, and his trading investment would only be taxed less in exact proportion to the lessening of its security. We say to the stockholder precisely as Mr. Pitt did, " You ought to make the sacrifices which all make. It is not pecu liar to the quality of your income, but belongs to all in comes of the same 'quality." It is the purport of this word "quality" which Mr. Gladstone has so wholly misconceived. An income derived from the funds has, of course, a special quality of its own, in that it is the interest of money lent to the State, and paid out of the revenue ; and if a tax were laid " separately and dis tinctly" upon these incomes in respect of this quality only, while incomes just as fixed and imperishable were exempted, that would be a breach of faith with the pub lic creditor. But an income derived from the funds has also the further quality of permanent and realised pro perty; and, when all permanent and realised property has been declared chargeable with certain contributions, there can surely be nothing in the contract of the na. tion with the fundholder to give him an exemption from the obligations of his fellows. Let Mr. Gladstone reflect a moment on the conse quences of his own reasoning. If what he advances is sound, the country has not only undertaken not to tax the fundholder separately, but to preserve him from taxation preferentially. It has decreed that property invested in the public stocks, although secured by the credit of the entire nation, and placed on the safest and most desirable of bases, shall not be considered as per manent property when permanent property of all sorts is subjected to taxation ! The landed interest might then truly retort upon the fundholder, and say, By removing my property to the funds I could avoic m no tax ;" and would this, in M r. Gladstone's eyes, be injustice or contradiction ? We should like to see the fi,gure touched by Consols if this doctrine is maintained. An investment which shall give property all its rights, and release it from all its duties, while providing at the same time the greatest possible security, ought to com mand even a higher premium than The plain truth is, that Mr. Gladstone's grand argument is nothing less than a blunder, discreditable not only to his logic, but even his common sense. The single illustration which he himself quoted ought to have shown him his error. If, in the collection of an impost avowedly assessed on property in proportion to its reality and permanence, the fundholder were so taxed that he could escape any portion of his contribution by transmuting his property into some other form equally real and permanent, but less heavily assessed, that would be a proof that he was taxed unjustly, and Mr. Gladstone's plea would hold good. But if he is taxed neither more nor less than all other possessors of corresponding property, lie is clearly ' suffering no injustice at all. To argue for more than this—to extend to him in his quality of proprietor a pledge given to him simply in his quality of fundholder, and to bespeak for him an exemption from toobligation s which his fellow-proprietors accept and discharge, is assert in his behalf preferential claims never dreamt of in the original compact, and never conceived, we are perfectly sure, by the class in whos e assumed interests they are now advanced. tion, what further alterations are We to make to restore the balance' of expenditure and income ? - By_the light of common sense the best rule of pro ce3ure is to give priority to that or those resolutions, which, being the most important in themselVes, chief, e determine the fate of the If we could dispose of 1,11 the resolutions in- - one resolution, that 'wont(' rave grml deal of otherwise useless inquiry. Now, the ear , Jinni point of the Budget—the picot on which all the other resolutions turn---is the proposed sacrifice of two millions and a half by the reduction of the Malt-tax. If Parliament and the country desire that reduction, and choose to leave the Chancellor ()Pile Exchequer minus that sum, then it will be necessary to consider at once how the .gap is to be filled up ; and the means employed to fill it up may become bearable from the simple fact of their having become necessary. At all events a vast deal of trouble will he saved. The Malt-tax can he dis cussed very quietly and dispassionately. If it is proved to the satisfaction of the public that they will not gain a farthing a quart by the change, and to the satisfaction of the farmer that he will not gain a shilling a uarter, and that the brewers and publicans will take a lion's share each of the 2,5(1 . 0,000/. nobody will cry his eyes out if the duty is not reduced. That will at once settle some of the other resolutions, for there will not be the least occasion for a new tax, or an increased tax, if there is no gap to he supplied. We are far from admitting that a reduc tion of the Malt-tax would be eventually so little of a boon to the public, but we should not be surprised to find a majority of the Commons of this opinion. It appears - to us, then, that, were any of the proposed extensions of taxes to be discussed, they would not be discussed on their OViii merits, but with reference to the chance of the Malt-tax being reduced ;so that, even if one of these other resolutions—for example, the Inhabited [-louse Duty —were to be taken first, all would think that, -under-a sort of disguise, the Malt-tax was really the question at issue. If this be so, and if we cannot help the Malt-tax being virtually discussed at once in one form or another, had we not better take it first, and diScuss it in its own proper form, and on its own proper merits ? By .taking the Malt-tax first we should very possibly ;pare the House of Commons and the nation a good seal of pain and discredit. Them are probably not ten men in the houSe who are not of opinion that the Inhabited House Duty is a very fair form a property tax, that more ought to be raised by it than the miserable 700,0001. we get under Sir Charles Wood's scale, and that if a man is to have a vote for occupying a house worth 10/. a year, he ought not to be con sidered too poor to pay duty for it. We really cannot conceive the state of that man's mind, who could se riously and conscientiously deny these simple propo sitions. But to confess the truth, justice and morality are as much out of place in taxation as the music of the spheres, and there is hardly a borough member in the house who would dare to endanger his seat by voting for the enlargement and extension of the Inhabited House Duty. The smaller 101. householders are, as a body, more powerful than the whole House of Lords, not to say the Crown itself. They feel them selves the governing body of the country ; and as the privileged class of France, before the first revolu tion, exempted themselves from taxes, so does this new privileged class, created by the Reform Bill, consider itself entitled to exempt itself from paying any direct tax at all, and as few indirect taxes as possible. To such a length has this system gone, that a man with 1201, a-year may live very comfortably, and with a certain degree of luxury, and not contribute more than 3/. or 41. a-year to the national burdens. The tax on his tea, coffee, and sugar is pretty nearly all that he will pay if he does not drink fermented liquors. Our taxes press heavily on the class below and on the classes above, on working men and on gentlefolk of all sorts ; but taxation right and left is staved off from the all-important and all-potent 101. householders. This is not a righteous or convenient state of things. Justice demands that direet taxation should begin with representation, and that when a man is one of the constitutency he should not object to pay for his privilege. If, then, we are to have a sensible House Tax, worth the trouble and worthy a the name, it ought to be extended to the 101. house holders. But it is quite a farce to expect borough mem bers to cut their own throats by voting for it. Every borough will rise in revolt like Marylebone against it, and resolve to turn out the member who fails to comply. So, of course, we may expect no end of hypocrisy on the subject to morrow night. All this might be spared by taking the Malt Tax first, for if it be not reduced, !here will then be no immediate occasion for the In habited House Duty. We beg to suggest the considera tions to the independent members of the Commons, and hope to see them acted on to-morrow evening by a mo tion to give precedence to the resoluSon for a reduction of flu; Malt Tax. • (Front the Times of this day.) At this precise moment th e most interes in tin is f question in the heart of this grea t empire, and civilisation, is no other than the proper order to be ob served by a fire hancellor of the Exchequer in proposing his financil olutions. As they stand in the Notices, and as was anno unced last Monday, the resolution for doubling and extending tho Inhabited House Duty leads the van, and comes on to Then follow in suc cession Tea Duties, malt, malt drawbacks and allow ances, Malt Importation Duty, hops •; hops—duty on importation, and Property and Income Tax. As to th e necessity, or peculiar merit of this arrangement, we confess we understand it as little as we do the reasons why a leg of mutton comes on at the beginning of dinner in one country, in the middle in another, and surrounded by sweets and fruits in a third. As we don't feast on a i Budget every day , and as whole y ears may Pasi rancesglthout the remission or impos ition of a single tax,our of financial etiquette may, perhaps, be excused ; but we are further comforted to observe that even the doctors disagree. Mr. Gladstone seems to assume as an axiom, that as the Income Tax mtlnd atc s o f me on soon or late, in asmuch as it now only s claims precedence ; but as the right l hon, gentleman has discovered what he thinks a fat. flaw in the Ministerial proposition, and what we think a mare's nest, he may be biased by a very natural desire the current year, it to fort© Ministers to their worst trial first.

Application was made to the Legislature in the last Session of Par liament for an Act to incorporate a Company under the above title, and the Bill was carried through the second reading of the House of Commons by a majority of three to one ; 196 Members voting in favour of the Bill, and 65 against it. Subsequently the Bill with ten other Bills relating to the supply of water to the Metropolis were all referred to the same Committee of the House of Commons ; but owing to the Bill being taken up the very last in order, it was not until Tuesday, the 14th of June last, that the proceedings upon it could be commenced before the Committee. In consequence of this delay the proceedings could not be completed before the House of Commons was dissolved. It is. therefore, now requisite to renew the application to the Legislature in the next Session of Parlisment ; but the valuable evidence given before the Committee in the last Session in faveur of the undertaking and the Bill, although from want of time it could not be completed, has been published by order of the House of Com mons in a Blue Book, for the use of Parliament and the public, and cannot fail materially to facilitate the early obtaining of the powers sought by the pt esent application. The object of this company is to supply, at a cheap rate, the Inha bitants of the cities of London and Westminster, and the boroughs of St. Marylebone and Finsbury, and the following places intermediate between those and the source of supply,—namely, Barnet, Bushey, Edgeware, Eistree, Finchiey, Hadley, Hampstead. Harrow on the Ilill, Harrow Weald, Hendon, Kingsbury, Mill Hill, Pinner, Stan more, Sudbury, Totteridge, Watford, Whetstone, Willesden,—with pure soft Spring Water, distributed through pipes constantly charged; so that, by the mere turning of a tap, it may be got fresh from the mains, without the intervention of a cistern, even in the top stories of the highest houses. The water will be procured at Bushey Meadows, near Watford, at the foot of a vast range of chalk hills, through which an enormous volume of subterranean spring water at present escapes in under ground currents to the sea. In 1840, Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent engineer, after having made a series of experiments anti observations on a shaft and borings that had been sunk in the chalk in this locality, by Mr. Robert Paten, for the purpose of demon strating how copiously spring water can be thus obtained for the supply of the Metropolis, reported, as his conclusion, " I am perfectly convinced of the feasibility of the proposed plan, as far as regards quantity ;" a conclusion thetembeeetteemionce , and investiga gaUen have confirmed. - eletiewicese Professors Graham, Miller, and Hoffman, the eminent Chemists appointed in 1851 by Government as a Commission to consider the chemical quality of the supply of water to the inetropas, when alluding to water from the chalk intended to be supplied from itushey Meadows. thus express themselves in a report addressed to the then Home Secretary of State, and dated the 17th of June last year:—" The inhabitants of London appear to have within their reach, in these chalk strata, a supply of water, which is asserted, on good authority, to be inexhaustible, and which may be considered as everywhere or an uniform composition and quality. e * It contains absolutely nothing of organic origin c spate(' of further alteration or decomposition, and is therefore wholly unobjectionable, on the ground of organic constituents. Its clearness and brilliancy also appear perfect, front the complete absence of suspended matter, and are highly attractive. Possmsing at all seasons the mean ton t stature of the year, the same water has an agreeable coolness and freshness, which might certainly be preserved in a great degree by proper means of conveyance and distribution. The only other quality desired in a town supply was softness. * * * The soften ing operation, by the use of lime" (proposed by Professor Clark of Aberdeen, which frees the water from 2 grains of chalk per pint, or 1 ton per million gallons, without leaving anything else in the water in the place of the chalk,) " is applicable in all seasons to the spring water, *hire* indeed adapts itself with singular felicity to that process. * The chalk spring waters can thus be commanded with certainty under 3 degrees of hardness. which is probably the extreme limit attainable anywhere in England for a great supply." The water of the present companies is reported by the same authority to be about 14 degrees of hardness. " The chalk spring water after being softened," resume the learned Commissioners, "is an extremely pure water. It appears to be con derably t uperior even to the soft water from the streams of the Surrey sands. The chalk water alone is uniform in its ofweat excellenceor atsea all times, the sources of it lying beyond the influence her son In the judgment of the Commissioners, this softened over chalk water is entitled, from its c h e mical quality, to a preference all others for the future supply of the metropolis." At Beshey Meadows the subte rranean spring water can be abun dantly procured at a natural elevation of 130 feet above the level of the Thamesin London. This water, after being softened, would be pumped through pipes buried in the ground into reservoirs so covered as to maintain the uniform temperature of the water at all seasons. and situated on Stanmore Common at a sufficient elevation to cause by gravity the water to flow through pipes into the district named, and to rise to all the highest grounds and buildings. At a charge of from one-third to one-half less than the charges of the Grand Junction and West Middlesex Water Companies, a divi dend of 10 per cent. would be returned upon the capital expended to carry out the undertaking. The well-attested superiority of the quality of the water, the prac tically unlimited quantity at command, and the simple and cheap stature of the works required to procure and distribute it, unite to re commend the undertaking to capitalists as the means for making a safe and profitable investment. The suburban places already named contain 60,000 inhabitants, entirely unsupplied by any Company. and greatly in want of water ; while the urgent demand that exists in the Metropolis for so pure and so cheap a water as that now pro posed to be supplied is obvious to every one. The Thames water, even when procured above where the tide flows, and after filtration, and wh n taken direct from the pipes of the consumers before going into any cistern. has been proved to contain much dead and decaying animal and vegetable matter, an average of 18 different species of living animalcules, besides nearly the same number of various kinds of fungi and other plants and organisms in every half gallon of such water, to say nothing here of the number after that there most is of each species. The spring water trom Watford, careful examination, has been found to be quite free from these con ' taminatioes ; and while the placing at a cheap rate a constant supply of so pure a water within the reach of the inhabitants of the dis tricts of the Metropolis, and the 'unsupplied places before named, cannot fail to confer an bnportaut and lasting benefit upon them, at the same time it must tend to stimulate in the most effective man ner the improvements s ) much required in tile water supply of the other districts. 'lhus the undertaking has a claim to the support of every inhabitant of this great Metropolis. 39. Moorgate-street, December, 1852.

LA'AIERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medichie both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these oases.

The Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain O'Calla ghan, left Spithead this morning for Cowes, to remain there during her Majesty's sojourn at Osborne. She saluted the Royal standard on passing Osborne. The Basilisk, 6, steam-sloop, Commander the lion. F. Egerton, has arrived at Spithead from the North American station. The Cyclops, 6, steam-frigate, Lieutenant-Commander Seccombe, having landed the boilers for the screw line of-battle ship Duke of Wellington, 131, came out of the steam basin to-day, and took in her guns alongside the jetty. She then sailed in the afternoon on her return to Sheerness. The Pallas, 50, Russian frigate, Captain Unkousky, has been removed out of the fitting basin to-day, and placed under the shears to have her guns remounted. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Freemantle, completed the adjustment of her compasses to-day. She still needs nearly 100 men to complete her crew. The Furious, new paddle steam-frigate, 14, Captain Loring, has been docked to-day to have her copper cleaned, after which she will be out of the hands of the dockyard. The Leander, 50, Captain King, hauled out of dock to the fitting basin to-day, having had her bottom cleaned. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-frigate , has been undoeked to day, and the Harpy has ken her place to be over hauled. The Egyptian iron yacht Kassid Kheir is now com pleted as a sailing vessel, and is ready for sea. SHEERNESS, DEC. 8. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Lightning, Mr. H. W. Allen, Master -Commanding, arrived yester day with volunteers from the east coast of England. She brings one able-bodied and eight merchant-seamen and 72 landsmen. Men, on being solicited to enter for the navy, decline on the ground that they get much better pay in the merchant vessels sailing from their own ports. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Monkey ar rived here yesterday from Portsmouth, with one seaman for the Agamemnon. Her Majesty's ship London, 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, bent sails yesterday, and will leave for Spithead on Sunday next. We hear, from good authority, that the whole of the crew, and a portion of the officers, will be transferred to the Duke of Wellington. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Porcupine, Lieutenant-Commanding Mr. G. M. Jackson, was paid up to the 30th of October yesterday. Massy's patent pumps have arrived, and as soon as they are fitted she will proceed to the isle of Man. The Chatham yacht arrived yesterday with officers from the pay-office department of Chatham Dockyard, and returned in the afternoon. Her Majesty's screw-steam line-of-battle ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, is nearly complete. She has ports for 90 guns, but her upper deck admits of four more being opened on each side of the waist, capable of mounting the new 32 short-pound ers of great power. With her heavy gun on the upper deck, which will throw 10-inch shot, she will mount 99 guns, only one less than her French rival. She is fur nished with two sets of launches, pinnaces, &c., built on an entirely new principle, particularly adapted for cut ting out service. Her Majesty's ship Phaeton, 50, Captain George Elliott, on arriving here from Lisbon, will not be paid off as originally determined on. Her crew are to bepaid up their wages, and, after having gone on leave for a few weeks, will be kept on the books for general service. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Lizard has been taken out of dock, and placed at moorings off Lap well, having been payed over with two coats of Pea cock's anti-corrosive patent composition. He: Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender to the Waterloo, Mr. Brockman Acting-Master, left port this morning, having on board Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, Flag-Captain to Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, and Captain Charles Hope, Superintendent of the Dockyard. WOOLWICH, DEC. 8. APPOINTMENTS. Chaplain and Naval Instructor.—Rev. John Lugg, A.M. (1852), from the Queen, 116, at Devonport, to t he Sidon steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. Chaplain.—Samuel Beal (1852), to the Queen, vice L Th ugg. e Cruiser, steam-sloop, Commander Hyde Parker, had her guns taken on board to-day from the Royal Arsenal. They consist of 16 32-pounders of 32cwt. each, and 61 feet long, and one 8-inch gun on a pivot, which can be used at the bow or stern of the vessel, pivots with brass traversing rods being fitted fore and aft for that purpose. The reef on which her Majesty's steam-vessel Rhada manthus touched is off Dyer's Island, about six miles S. by E. from Danger-point • but the shock was so slight as only :o have been felt by those on deck, and no damage was supposed at that time to have been done. The great danger from this reef is owing to the current setting so strong upon it. Vessels have frequently grounded on it, the most careful sounding being but a n indifferent guide. The damage sustained by the Rhadamanthus will be completely repaired in a few days, when she will be again ready for sea. DEVONPORT, DEC. 7. Quail, lighter, Ivemey, master, arrived this morning with stores from Portsmouth. In consequence of the weather, the stores of the Spiteful, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Parker, have not been returned. She is not paid off to-day, as was intended. Dido, 18, Captain Aloorshead, C. 8., will be paid wages to-morrow morning, after which the Spiteful will be paid off. Nile, 90, has been brought to the yard, and is prepar ing to be taken into No. 4 dock the next spring tides, to be fitted for screw machinery. Every man of sense knows, as well as he knows how to distinguish daylight from dark, that England must continue the greatest naval nation in the world, or be reduced to be one of the most contemptible nations in the world. Burke has said, and he said it well and truly, that a nation, once become great, can never sink into a middle state and there remain ; that it must continue to be great, or sink so low as hardly to be worthy of the name of a nation. There are many men, and those by no means fools, who think that England will sink down into the last-mentioned state. lamof a different opinion. The whole of the history of my country tells me, that that will never be. Divers have been the times when England seemed to be torn to pieces ; seemed to be incapable of ever recovering ; but, in every such case; from some cause or other, such change has taken place as to put everything to rights, and to make the nation as formidable as ever to its neighbours. It has always been , w ith the people of England, the most monstrous of cri mes in their rulers to do anything tending to pull down the country ; and, if my observation do not deceive m e, that spirit is as much alive at this hour as it was in the days of King John or of Edward the Second.—Cobbett, in 1827. ~_- C.~ COAST OF AFRICA.
