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. Not 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 bad to play the part of an ac ti ve agen t . F rom 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 stituted vessels covered with iron half a foot thick — in the case of the turrets a foot thick—for those irreverently designate first -rates" which we should now _ designate as " tubs ;" while rifled 1101 service, 0 ters are looked upon as far too light for efficientbdsides and nothing short of 300-pounders for broadsides and 600-pounders for turrets will meet our ideas as to the requirements of naval artillery.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th e nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

This consideration w e have put first, because it lies naturally in the foreground of this question, and because it was quite enough to direct attention to the springs banks deposit, anditsmanagement. 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 altogethe r , by c h ang i ng th 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 is one It ought not to speculate. This 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 its elements change i n th e very ma t er i a l s ou t o f w h ic h 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 even see a week before them. Then there obtrudes itself a fearful misgiving as to the degree of respon sibility which an entirely new constituency may feel as to the obligation incurred by that which was tried and found wanting before it. Even if the new constituency be ready to pay debts, 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 no w 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 proposes. POST.—The announcement that Vice-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., accompanied by his 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 experien ce w i t h the machinery of the Admiralty, the wo r k o f a d m i nistration, 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, i s th e ver y man whose presence is of the grea t est use at the Admiralty and in Parliam en t. L ord Clarence Paget has, it must be ad m itt e d , 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 p ro f ess i on afloat, an d of the details of public business on shore. His father, the late Marquis of Anglesey, was accounted in his day . the best ca va l ry o ffi cer i n Europe, and when the Field-Marshal was Master-General of the Ordnance, Lord Clarence filled the office of Secre tary—a post in whi c h, comparat i vely 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 presentre tirement from his seal, as the preliminary to taking the command in the Mediterranean.

'' . ...„.• The New York Tribune, of April 1 . 14 h, sus ttilt the present Congress has earned the lasting grati tude of the country in the constitution and action of its Joint Committee on Reconstruction. The testimony taken by it—and especially that of ex rebels--is most essential to an intelligent judgment upon the problems now fitly engrossing the public attention. Let us, then, consider thoughtfully the salient points in the testimony of the lion. A. 11. 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 decided d g teevilss.eeerYdee,t, they yen cast th in eirrestpheactrot withiN the majority, and became conspicuo us and po 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 bad 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 the whirligig cond itions, fobrectahueisre c o o f ne t l h o e s i i r on. cru ß sh u in t g ho d w efe i a m t p . oli ß ti u c t ? , p r C e realy o r n , whe o r f ei tm wherein totally sup os e new "secession should ssie n mightpresent b e attempted afresh, without a probab • dity of failure, what then ? Scan Mr. Stephens's testimony for the answer! Once more :—lt is Mr. Steph ' ens s very decided conviction that the people of Georgia —by which he means the whites only—those who, he 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 1 right back, without conditions or restrictions, i nto Congress, and share fully and equally with th e loyal in the Governmen t of the country. Ile thinks ing—wherein it was for that the loyal were fight /~ 1 might, perhaps, be cited, as an illustration t o o f the strength of Lord Clarence's attachment 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 au s pi ces 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 navy of the future, and h e 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 Lordif Cpolassriebnlcee, God-speed, well assured . that when he comes back his energies it increased will b e and w-ith m h a i t s ur p r e a d etl y c a l reflection,kno l v . i l i ed;e d , at inxigi46 - 0 444444 r 1 Lrservice of is noun sea, forte ---e--..-Z-',,___,._ 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- ship. 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 theta 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 Nero 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.

TIMES.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer is en deavouring to teach England to pay her debts. 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, aid 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 t o d o, mora li sts in a high-flyi ng way , a e inful sore. Mr. shall fly right over n p tg r h e ec a a c hr h e ir di s nand a cc leaveth, e t c h o an n t o o tmy phlesson Glad stone endeavours to embody economy in a positive end to f e ook H fo e rward gives u s pursuit,a an actualand even occupation,a to. Whether we, and our children aft er us, s h a ll a ll and an n persevere in the agreeable enterprise h e h as p l anne d for us depends upon considerations n o t ent i re l y i n picturesque our immediate cognisance, for we cannot tell what the next generation will be, what will happen in their days, or what we may ourselves become under unexpected provocation. But he has certainly hit one of the first objections to a prud ent economyand financial honesty. 6 What is one to 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 h ave f oun 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, 95, 100, and even higher, And have now to give them their pound, The American 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. A quiet vein of the grotesque, verging on the ludicrous, and rising now and then to the laughable, was all of which that funniest of funny historians was capable. But the Fenians and their despatches, as manipulated by Kil lian, beat A'Beckett's inventions hollow. 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 journeyings 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, Killian 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 s ch 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, a n d th en proclaim a victory," We saida to ourselves ; " why five stevedores mig ht any a . Y -- or night do the same ten times over with en o ts ut leaving New New York." These mighty movements the w O'Mahonyites, however, are evidently glories aretly unpalatable to the Sweeney factio n, sustain Roberts in b e done thus eclipsed by the thing must as the , , great Fenian Alani wtoarlike Some the Presidency Generalissimo.

They don't intend to march to the battle-field until the Fenian bonds have been sold, and when none of these are left there will be no reason for fighting. Just now the odds are in favour of O'Mahony and Killian and their bonds, as against Roberts and Sweeney and their bonds. The people are tired of talk, and demand decisive action.
