Forum free on application, or receipt of a stamped might, perhaps, be cited, as an illustration of the strength of Lord Clarence's attachment to his profession, that he prefers to take an active com mand in such a revolutionised navy. To the nautical mind has generally been attributed an almost preternatural degree of fixity ; we are all familiar with the anecdotes illustrative of the disgust and contempt with which the thorough old salts of Nelson's time, however high their rank as officers, looked upon the new-fangled innovation of steam with its smoke and dirt. What would they have said to the combination of steam with the Monitor principle in a vessel like the Monadnock, which is just reported to have gone a long sea voy age with her hatchways battened down, and her hull scarce eighteen inches out of the water? But Lord Clarence has evidently a mind free from this kind of prejudice ; and the fact of the revolution in our navy having been practically wrought out under his own auspices and supervision, may possibly have stimulated his curiosity to see, from personal ex perience and observation, how the new system works. He has been four years engaged in preparing the n avy of the future, and he is now going to take an active part in the practical experiment which is to test the various principles of construction. It would be desirable, perhaps, that an admiral of his admi nistrative and official experience should have under his command specimens of the various methods of construction to which we alluded in a recent article —the old broadside, and Captain Coles's and Mr. Reed's new methods of the box and the turret. Meanwhile, we have only to wish Lord Clarence God-speed, well assured that when he his energi es c i o f m p e o s iss b ib a l c e k , dutiesin command at and wit h matured c b t i y c a r l e fl k e c n o t i w o l n e , d a g n e d , i t n e w r ei invigorated s b e d e by the active his sea, for the public service of his country at home.

In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd t ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support.ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 ga., warranted.

It is proverbially a task for which it is difficult to excite an interest, or to find a way. Our extravagance runs in the course of our tastes, and our habits, mid our hobbies, all of them clamorous, obtrusive, and pleasant. But when it comes to economy, then we pass from the positive to the negative, from solid enjoyments to a shadowy self-denial. Knowing the cruelty of the case, and of course un able to tell everybody exactly what to do, moralists and preachers teach economy in a high-flying way, taking care, in fact, that the lesson shall fly right over the head and leave no painful sore. Mr. Glad stone endeavours to embody economy in a positive pursuit, and even a picturesque scheme. He gives us an actual occupation, and an end to look forward to. Whether we, and our children after us, shall all persevere in the agreeable enterprise he has planned for we cannot t e ll w h a t for us depends upon considerations not entirely in the our immediate next their days, or what we may ourselves become under unexpected provocation. But he has certainly hit generation will be, what w ill h appen i n one of the first objections to a prudent economy and financial honesty. " "What is one t o save for ?" The answer to that question is generally thought inadequate, for it seems to mean that you are to blight your whole being for the sake of a distant and partial relief. For ten years, which may be the very prime of your life, you are to suffer a con tinual eclipse, a banishment, a burial, or worse, and at the end of the time to find yourself just a little easier, and a little wiser and better in your own eyes. The road to virtue is so dreary, as well as so arduous, that people thus advised bethink themselves of some shorter cut and royal road to happiness and unindebtedness. They are prepared to run a little risk, but not to go on grinding at economy for ever. So Mr. Gladstone tries to sweeten this rugged path. If the final goal is at an impos sible height, he can point to a halt. To begin is at least half the work ; and this is a pretty instal ment, besides having merits of its own to stand on. Here is the scheme ; but it is a mere holiday task compared with the whole debt. We have got ourselves into a bad position with the Savings Banks, a position we ought never to have found ourselves in, and one which we ought to avoid for the future. Let not the poor contributors be fright ened ; it is the public that has made a mistake, and has to pay for it, not they... We took their money, invested it when Consols were 90, 9 5,'100, and even higher ; and hp,ye now to giYe them their pound, not a penny less, though the property has de preciated in our hands down to 86. Mr. Gladstone reckons the loss at £3,000,000 ; and if the contribu tors were all seized with a sudden and simultaneous wish to have their money out, we should have to give them that immense sum over and abo ve th e security in our hands. This consideration we have put first, because it lies naturally in the foreground of this question, and because it was quite enough to direct attention to the savings banks deposit, andits management. It has not, how ever, any direct or necessary bearing on the scheme before us, which would have quite as much to say for itself if we had gained £3,000,000 by the savings banks instead of suffering that loss. The only im portant feature in the case is that we can deal with that deposit of £24,000,000 as we like; whereas we cannot, by any argument or method, induce the general body of creditors to accept terminable in lieu of their perpetual annuities. Volumes have been written in praise of terminable annuities, but people will not buy them. Mr. Gladstone has tried it on with the open money-market, and found it a failure. At least £10,000,000 out of 80 times that sum is all he has been able to reduce from eternity to time. But all the obligation we are under to the trustees of savings banks is to give them their money when they ask for it, and interest meantime. It matters not in what form the money exists, or whether there is any security beyond the solvency of the State. Every quarter of a year there accrues to the public, as holders of this deposit, a certain amount of inte rest. What is not paid to the trustees has been hitherto reinvested in the same form as the deposit, which has thus been continually growing in.a form found to be productive of loss to the public. The proposition is to arrest this increasing evil, and ex tinguish it altogether, by changing the whole capital sum of £24,000,000 into its equivalent amount of terminable annuities to expire in 1885. Through the lapse of some annuities they have just run their course the annual charge will be light at first ; but it will increase to near two millions; and, by carrying the principle throughout with future in vestments and reinvestments, Mr. Gladstone reckons upon paying off £49,000,000 in the course of these 19 years. The national debt would then be reduced to £750,000,000 by that process alone, while the existing system of reduction might be expected to have done at least as much or more, bringing the debt down to £700,000,000. There is no doubt that the State ought not to be the depository of capital which it can only invest in a form exposed to vicis sttudes. It ought not to speculate. This is one point for the proposal. The next is the apparently proved fact that England will not pay its debts ex cept by some process which forestalls the annual surplus and takes it out of the reach of Parliament —that is, the Parliament of the day and hour. The intention will not suffice. Indeed, the body sup posed to possess these good intentions is itself con tinually changing, and is just now threatened with a greater and more fundamental change than ever —a change in the very materials out of which its elements come. It is threatened by the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself with a larger proportion of numbers and opinions from that very class which on account of its poverty must be supposed the least capable of accumulation, without even the means necessary for learning the art of judicious expenditure. The vice of our finance is that it has been from hand to mouth, and that it is not the vice to be corrected by men who usually cannot tse 1 f entirely . even see a week before th em . Th en t h ere o b trudes misgiving a s t n o e t w h e constituencydeg ree respon sibilityof may feel as to the obligation incurred by that which was tried and f oun d wan ti ng b e f ore it . E ven if the new constituency b e rea dy t o p a y d e bt s , can it even be expected to do that more zealously, at a quicker pace, and with greater self-denial, than that which it takes the place of it ? It is not without a sense of shame that we see so vast a heritage of evil transmitted to our successors, whom, at the same time, we cannot hail with unreserved confidence. It is true that the Diet is reduced immensely in its proportion to our numbers, to our wealth, and to our productive power. It is true that it is now wholly removed from thein dustry and the food of the people ; but a debt there still is, and it is the largest in the world. Yet we are bequeathing it to a new steward, and one newer to debt, because newer to wealth and power. So let us at least set things going. Such is evidently . Mr. Gladstone's feeling in the matter, and we can not deny its reasonableness, though we doubt the success of the means he propose.% ZoßrOlarence Paget, 0.87`, anotnialired — By flag lieutenant and his secretary, has been down to Woolwich and hoisted his flag, preparatory to his departure to take the command in chief in the Mediterranean, and that he is previously to be made a Privy Councillor, reminds us that the Govern ment is about to lose one of its most able and zealous administrators. But though the Govern ment may miss his useful assistance at home, he will by no means be even temporarily lost to his country, since his talents and activity will only be transferred from one sphere of the public service to another. Lord Clarence Paget has served his country from a very early age ; and his varied and vigorous powers, which have enabled him to succeed in the functions of the statesman and administrator, no less than in the active duties of the profession to which he was bred, seem to mark him out for still more important public services than any he has yet had an opportunity of rendering. He is still in the prime of intellectual life, and may, in the natural course of things, look forward to a long career of active and honourable services, whether on the deck or at home, of the kind which the country, whether in peace or war, is most likely to need. Our navy is our right arm. An Admiral who is thoroughly acquainted by long practical experience with the machinery of the Admiralty, the work of administration, the duties and functions of a member of the Legisla ture, is the very man to be in command of a fleet in active service. On the other hand, an experienced naval commander bred in the service, and who is possessed of first-rate business capacity, is the very man whose presence is of the greatest use at the Admiralty and in Parliament. Lord Clarence Paget has, it must be admitted, enjoyed singular opportunities for cultivating the talents which he has shown he possesses in so high a degree—for gaining a practical knowledge of his profession afloat, and of the details of public business on shore. His father, the late Marquis of Anglesey, was accounted in his day the best cavalry officer in Europe, and when the Field-Marshal was Master-General f the Ordnance, Lord Clarence filled the office of Secre tary—a post in which, comparatively subordinate as it was, his attention to his duties and his capacity for mastering the details of official business were conspicuous. He had, however, in his early youth been sent to sea, and had acquired the habits of a thorough sailor ; and when the war with Russia broke out he distinguished himself by his activity and sailor-like qualities when serving with the Crimean fleet. Nearly 20 years ago he was elected member of the House of Commons for Sandwich, and he has continued to represent that place, with the exception of a brief interval, up to his present re tirement from his seat, as the preliminary to taking the command in the Mediterranean. It was in 1858 that he attained his flag rank, and in the fol lowing year Lord Palmerston appointed him to the office which he has filled so well and which he has just resigned—the Secretaryship of the Admiralty. The tastes and proclivities of a true sailor may have had a good deal to do with the resignation of office by one so well qualified to fill it with equal credit to himself and benefit to the country. N ot withstanding the active exercise of a man's best energies called forth in the debates in the House of Commons—in which Lord Clarence was one of the best because most practical and intelligible speakers —a man bred on the quarter-deck, and in the prime of life, may often, in the harassing details of business, sigh for the open sea and the active duties of his profession. The command in the Mediter ranean will, with a man of Lord Clarence's cast of mind, afford at once an invigorating relaxation—if the two words may be combined—from the seden tary and monotonous details of official business, and also a further training and preparation for the public service in Parliament at a future time. Since Lord Clarence was in the Baltic a great revolution has been carried out in naval architecture and in naval ordnance—a revolution in which he has him self had to play the part of an active agent. From time immemorial until after the period when he served in the Crimean war the age of wood had continued. All our great sea fights, from the time of the Armada to Navarino and the Crimea, had been fought with wooden ships, armed with guns of which the " old" 68-pounder—at the time Lord Clarence last saw active service considered a new invention—was the heaviest. We have now sub stitutedk— vessels covered with iron half a foot thick se in the case of the turrets a foot thick—for h " first-rates" which we should now designate as " tubs ;" while 110-pounders irreverently are looked upon as far too lightrliflore(_iflalcie3 service, and nothing short of 300 7 poun will inset our ideas broadsides and 600-pounders-for turrets _ artillery. It , 44 to the requirements a aaval The Amer: can Press. The American Cotton Planter, a new semi-monthly magazine, recently established at Montgomery, Alabama, contains a very sensible article on " The New Labour System," which promulgates just views of the duty of the people of the South towards the freedmen. Acknowledging that the system of slave labour is abolished, and that there is no hope of re-establishing it, the Cotton Planter takes up the subject of labour and accompanies it with a liberal and just analysis of the negro character. An honest compliment is paid to the demeanour of the slaves during the war, and it is urged that during those trying times they displayed true Christian gratitude to the people with whom they dwelt. The Cotton Planter believes that " by a wisely-directed system of care, with liberal and remunerating con tracts," their labour may be made as profitable and acceptable as was the old system of slave labour. But " liberal and remunerative contracts are the main conditions." How this obligation is to be ful filled must be by the observance of the maxim, "Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you." It is not alone for the interests of the freedman that he should be paid remunerative wages, but it is the interest also of the employer to pay him. The Planter says :—" The negro has to live, and if his labour does not afford him a living, it will assuredly come out of our living, either as pilfered or in the form of poor taxes or prison taxes." There is philosophy in this, and the object to be gained by the new system of labour cannot be secured in any other way than by just dealing toward the freedmen. Observance of this rule will benefit the interests of employers and labourers, and establish relations of confidence between them which will be for mutual advantage. The views of the writer are sound and Christian-like, and if they are followed out universally in the South, a few months will put an end to the question so often asked -- What are we to do with the freedmen ? The New York Times of April 17 says :—The " grand advance guard" of the O'Mahony Fenians, under the generalship of the redoubtable Killian, are making comic history in a style of which Gilbert A'Beckett never dreamed.

From the far-off corner of Maine comes an unceasing peal of up roarious fun and folly, the only drawback to which lies in the fraud that taints the whole affair. In the first place, there was to be the surprise and easy capture of some tangible point of British territory, to which end General Killian advertised in the newspapers that he was on the road thither. So valiant a hero scorned the idea of doing anything except in the most polite and public manner, and, therefore, he invited the British army and navy to gather in sight of the spot and calmly witness his con quest. In the next place, it was necessary to convey to a wondering world some distinct evi dence of the mighty rush of armed Fenians to the scene of the predicted triumph. Despatch number one told us that 13 stalwart Irishmen had gone by steamer to Eastport, leaving their arms and ammunition to be conveyed by a schooner ad vertised to sail on the next day. Despatch number two announced the jonrneyings of 19 more soldiers of , the same stamp, of whose weapons nothing was said. Despatch number three signalised the arrival of another equally extensive band, one half of whom were said to be general officers, deeply in love with the skill and prowess of the illustrious Killian. But we will not recapitulate too minutely. Each succeeding day brought tidings of the same sort ; Killian gathering a mighty host at the rate of a baker's dozen daily, and contemplating some prodigious deed, of which the wide-awake provincials were regularly apprised beforehand, that they might render its accomplish ment impossible. After having thus whetted the public appetite, and prepared all of us for some decisive blow, Kilian transmitted over the wires on Sunday an intimation that " five armed Fenians" had captured a British flag on Indian Island. Here was something to be proud of. Here must have been fighting with a vengeance. And then the astounding result—" five armed Fenians" overpowering a regiment of New Brunswickers and carrying off the flag, after per _ forming'prodigies of valour ! The information, for the moment, astounded us. Our appetite for break fast vanished as we glanced along the electrifying lines, and we were ready on the spot to do homage to the genius of O'Mahony for planning such a campaign and the power of Killian for carrying it to a tri umphant issue. Further study, however, converted our new-born admiration into intense disgust. For we discovered that there was no fight, no resistance, no capture ; the whole affair amounting simply to the carrying away of a revenue flag, which had been hoisted as a thing of course, and the securing of which might, therefore, have been performed as easily by one smart Yankee schoolboy as by the " five armed Fenians" upon whose prowess Killian dwells with evident pride. "Go to Indian Island to steal a flag, and then proclaim a victory," said to ourselves ; " why five stevedores might any day or night do the same ten times over without leaving .. New York." These mighty movementson of the un palatable O'Mahonyites, however, are evidently to the Sweeney faction, _w se g l or ies are thus eclipsed by the w arlike Some thing must be don e to sustain Roberts in y as the great Fenian G enera li ss imo. creenatdieirp,onbeMmanoir-e 't be 9 The capture of one of the Thousand the Presidency alnvdhaStwsehea:lel lA fa A faint to threaten G oa t toulin in Lake Huron . i Nmga lcs ra ls ?

Let us, then, consider thoughtfully the sa li en t points in the testimony of the Hon. A. H. Stephens. Mr. Stephens, like General Robert E. Lee, was not an original secessionist. That is, while each held to the abstract right of a State to secede, neither of them regarded secession as re quired by antecedent conditions, nor a remedy for existing evils. Yet, when their respective Staten decided to secede, they cast in their lot with the majority, and became conspicuous and p o _ tent champions of the disunion cause. And this they still hold to have been right. Let us test this assumption by familiar examples. Mr. Stephens was long a prominent and influential member of Congress ; General Lee was educated at West Point, and had since been a favoured officer in the army of the United States. Now, suppose each of them, when he came to enter the service of our country, had offered to take the prescribed oath in this form :—" I solemnly swear that I will sup port the Constitution and obey the lawful authori ties of the United States until my State shall see fit to secede from the Union"--does any sane man believe that this would have been accepted as a sub stantial compliance with the requisition ? Would a youth at West Point, a representative in Con gress, be permitted hereafter to take the oath thus qualified ? Was there ever a time when this would have been permitted ? Manifestly not. And if not, how do men of character, like Messrs. Lee and Stephens, satisfy themselves that they are not foresworn ? Again, Mr. Stephens tells us that the people have attained a very decided convic tion that secession is impolitic. They have good reason for their conclusion. But how impolitic ? Clearly, because of th • eir crushing defeat. But, • suppose " the w hi rl i gig of time" should present totally new conditions, wherein h * w secession might be attempted afresh, without a probability of failure, what then ? Scan Mr. Stephens's testi • mony for the answer ! Once more :—lt is Mr. Stephens's very. decided conviction that the people of Georgia —by which he means the whites only—those who,- he 1 states, were all but unanimous in sustaining the rebellion, were entitled, from the moment their re- • bellion was put down by the strong arm, to come right back, without conditions or restrictions, into Congress, and share fully. and equally with the loyal in the Government of the country. He thinks it was for that the loyal were fighting—wherein they do not agree with him. Nay, he gravely doubts the legal validity of Acts of Congress passed in the absence of representatives from the seceded States. If that be so, it seems to us to follow that every Act of Congress whereby the power of the Union was brought to bear against secession was usurping and void ; so that the seceded States are now legally out of the Union. Finally, Mr. Ste phens thinks slavery is dead only because the for mer Slave States have abolished it (which several of them have not done), and that, while the whites of the South have all the power in the Union which they deliberately and defiantly renounced by seces sion, the blacks of those States have just such rights as the whites thereof choose to give them—no less, and no more. We beg leave to assure the ex-Vice- President that, on this very important point, his views are radically diverse to those of the great party which carried the country triumphantly through the war against Secession, and that, unless those whom he calls " the, South" are willing to re sume their places in Congress on a footing of equality of power, man for man, between them seves and the Union-upholding whites of the North and West, they will probably wait some time for readmission. if the Southern blacks are not to vote (as we trust they are) it must at least be conceded that those who deny them the right of suffrage shall not cast votes in their stead. The Cholera on Board the Virginia Steam- On the 18th ult. the National Steam Navigation Company's steamship Virginia arrived at quarantine at New York, with 14 cabin and 1,029 steerage passengers, and with Asiatic cholera on board. The facts were communicated to Dr. Swinburne, of the New York Sanitary Committee, immediately on the arrival of the ship, and the doctor and assistant health officer Burdett lost no time in boarding the vessel and making a thorough investigation. It was ascertained that on the passage 35 steerage passengers and two of the crew had died, and that many others lay sick of unmistakable Asiatic cholera, but not one of the cabin passengers had been affected. Having completed his examination, Dr. Swinburne ordered that the Virginia be sent back to the Lower Bay ; that the hospital ship Falcon and the steamship Empire City be sent to the in fected ship to take off those passengers who had not been attacked, and that these be kept on board the hospital ships and there treated until further orders. There is a theory that certain conditions of the atmosphere are conducive to cholera, and that there are certain zones wherein the pestilence is most rapidly generated. It is remarked, also, that cholera was developed on board the Virginia in the lati tude where it first appeared on board the steamship England. " The facts seem to be (says the .New York Times) that the steerage passengers of both vessels, huddled together as a thousand persons must necessarily be in a vessel of less than 3,000 tons burden, were attacked when they had been long enough together to poison the atmosphere of the ship, and that sothermal lines and cholera zones had nothing to do in the case. The Virginia cast her moorings at Liverpool on the 4th of April. At that time no case of cholera had been reported in Liverpool. None of the thousand and eighty passengers (chiefly German immigrants) with whom she sailed are known to have come from any district where cholera has prevailed, nor had any of the number been ill during their brief tarry of less than a week in Liverpool. The ship touched at Queenstown, Ireland, and having there taken aboard a number of passengers, made out to sea—a ship of 2,876 tons with more than a thousand human beings stowed away in two tiers or between three r decks. No apprehension of cholerha. o h r a a d ny he o en a disease was entertained until the s been suddenly pros a steerage passenger, who had to be a violent form trated by what was supposed to diarrhoea, as the week on the Atlantic ; but then, on ship had 12th inst. here inthe steerage ; of diarrhoea, died. of the first victim, the declare it a case of cholera. im, sur geon on sudden the 12th, and others But two more s ship'san e v surg eon enaf te rsuthirdseaeTdtheevreerYlvm7 e d the sceptic that the steer ageogneonthwe a l s 3 : s teamship was really suffering under of the • • a visitation of Asiatic cholera.

All the sick had unmistakable symptoms of Asiatic cholera. Their countenances were of a dusky colour, their eyes were sunken, and they were suffering from the purgings incident to the disease. Their hands and bodies were shrunk, and they had marked symp toms of cholera. Dr. Swinburne ascertained that three persons had died while coming up the bay, and that the bodies of these men had b een thrown overboard and attached by a line to t he ship.
