This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestio service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the recent storms and loss of life at sea, and to enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate w.th the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

SPAIN AND PERU, The Peruvian GOvermnent has addressed the fol lowing circular to its agents in foreign parts : " LIMA, Dec. 22, 18G4. " The Peruvian Govermnent has been made ac quainted with the circular his Excellency the Minis ter of State of her Catholic Majesty, Don A. Llorente, addressed to the agents of Spain abroad upon Nov. 8 last. In this document the Cabinet of Madrid ex plains the reasons which, in its 'opinion, appear to justify the acts of coercion already exercised against Peru, and those upon which it appears to have re solved. " His Excellency endeavours to show that Peru has tenaciously refused to enter into amicable and pacific relations with _ Spain, and throws upon the Government of the Republic the responsibility of the want of success of the efforts made upon either part to establish those relations. " It is nevertheless not difficult to show that this responsibility is wrongly cast upon the Peruvian Government, which has always been disposed, and is still disposed, while maintaining intact its honour and dignity, to increase and reconnect the ties which naturally and in a special manner unite Peru with Spain, as well as with all nations born and living beneath the influence of Christian civilisation. " In 1852 Peru accredited to the Court of Madrid a Minister Plenipotentiary, with the mission of ob taining the recognition of her independence, and of settling all the questions which had arisen out of the fact of her emancipation, and the incidents of the struggle from which she had emerged. " With this object the Peruvian Plenipotentiary handed to the Madrid Cabinet the draft of a treaty in which the Government of the Republic, using its right, will make modifications, while giving its re presentative orders to reopen with her Catholic Ma jesty's Ministry conferences tending to obtain its acceptance. "It was certainly not the fault of Peru if her agent, instead of carrying out the orders forwarded to him, opened a discussion thereupon with his own Government, and was thus the cause that the civil war, which a short time afterwards convulsed the Republic, did not permit the Government to give its attention to an affair grave and delicate in its nature. " Internal struggles ended and peace re-esta blished in the State, one of the most important acts of the new Administration was to send to Spain another agent of the first rank, charged with the same mission as his predecessor. Whatever may be the faults that have been committed in that mission, which unhappily also remained without result, it cannot be denied that it was a new and solemn tes timony to the constant desire entertained by Peru to draw nearer to Spain. " Notwithstanding the state. of the relations be tween the two countries, the Government of Peru none the less willingly admitted the Consuls whom the Government of her Catholic Majesty, in view of the commercial interests of her subjects, thought proper to accredit to the Republic ; and, upon its its part, desirous of showing reciprocal courtesy, also sent functionaries of the same category into the Peninsula. If it decided upon recalling them, it was because it believed itself to possess sufficient reasons for considering the recal of her Catholic Majesty's agents—a recal which was the cause de termining its conduct—had not been an accidental measure, as has been since stated, but rather the result of intentions displaying little friendship and good-will. It did not therefore see in the two pro ceedings any difference but this—its own course was frank, that of the Queen's Government was not. i t " Peru, in her quality of a civilised Government, cannot refuse, and, further, did never refuse, per mission to Spaniards to place themselves under the protection of the representative of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, or of any other diplomatic agent of a friendly nation. This is what happened in the matter : the Hon. M. de Lesseps having announced that he was authorised to take steps in the name of her Catholic Majesty, to bring forward the claims some Spanish subjects had believed them selves entitled to make, the Peruvian Govermnent explained to him the impossibility in which it found itself of acceding to the wishes of those of her Catholic Majesty. This was, in fact, impossible; and the Minister then holding the portfolio of Foreign Affairs proved it to be so in his despatch of Nov. 23, 1863, citing the law upon the subject, but in terms which, far from being harsh, were most courteous, and which only contained a peremp tory answer, because a reply of that character was the only one that could be given. Further, in this conjuncture, as in every other, Peru has neither been able, nor has wished, to renounce the sincere and vehement desire, the complete and incontestable right, of coming to a direct understanding with Spain, to establish upon solid and indestructible bases that peace which is of such great importance to the two nations, and to unite the bonds which nature and history establish between them. " The misfortunes taking place at Talambo, which his Excellency the Minister of State hyperbolically styles a bloody and horrible catastrophe—and which, nevertheless, reduces itself to a death of one inha bitant of the peninsular and one Peruvian, and to wounds received by Peruvian and Spanish subjects —have given rise to a criminal investigation, already ended, and in which the Government, as far as its constitutional powerspdrmitted, displayed a diligence and zeal for its active and prompt pursuit which will always be honourable, and of which there is no ex ample in analogous cases affecting Peruvians only. " These sad events have fatally provoked others which have brought the relations between Peru and Spain to the deplorable state in which they are now. Disfigured and aggravated by distance, they caused the mission of Senor Salazar y Mazarredo, who came to Peru in the character of Special Commissioner. " It is not correct to state that he was repulsed. We asked of him, or, to speak more precisely, we presented to him, inviting his acceptance, an expla nation of his diplomatic character. If this explana tion appeared to him inadmissible, he could and he ought to reject it; but that was not a reason for withdrawing, as he did, inopportunely and violently, addressing to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs a document as singular as it was indefinite. " If, therefore, it can be said that there was in this matter, on the part of the Peruvian Government, an excessive natural and excusable susceptibility in its position towards Spain, and in the midst of cir cumstances by which it was surrounded, how are we to qualify the conduct of the Special Commissioner? And how could we interpret his intentions after, in agreement with, and by the assistance of, the Com mandant of her Catholic Majesty's .forces in the Pacific, he occupied the Chincha Islands. " Despite the incomprehensible conduct of the Special Commissioner, and before knowing the above-mentioned fact, the Minister for Foreign Relations of the Republic, under date of April 13 last, addressed himself to that of her Catholic Ma jesty, expressing in the most moderate and most circumspect terms the astonishment that such con duct had caused this Government, the nation, and all acquainted therewith. No reply has yet been received to this communication ; it is the last de spatch that was exchanged between the Cabinets. " There is here one evident and incontestable fact, viz., that the Government of Madrid has interrupted and ceased official communications with that of Peru. " When the latter saw confirined in a certain man ner the incredible intelligence communicated to it successively on the above-cited 16th of the month, respecting the act of attack perpetrated by the naval forces of her Majesty in the Pacific, it was really in capable of explaining such injurious violence. But when the declaration signed in that same anchorage at the Ohincha Islands by those who had taken pos session of them reached its knowledge, it under stood the full extent of the offence which had been committed against the Peruvian nation. " Among the number of the reasons Vuch have been brought forward in justification ha been in. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. yoked that right of revendication which supposed claim to dominion, necessarily lost after forty years. And it is of little importance now that it is said this simply secondary apologetic , place in t a h n e d d e t hc declaration th m er en i - t tioned, for reasons do not d • • derive their value from the qualifications people wis • h to give them, nor from the order in which they are placed, but from their relation to the matter of h whi c they treat ; and it is evident that, in cases of taking possession of, or occupying, the question of property or domination is the first and the principal. For this reason the right of revendication claimed, although in despite of all logic relegated to the second rank in the matter now under consideration, besides the other considerations which accompanied it, and which we despised, caused universal scandal and alarm. It provoked the most serious and most formal protests upon the part of Americans and Europeans. " The following, once more, are the facts which constitute this offence, presented under their verit able aspect. With an ostentation and array of forces which, considering the weakness of the garrison of the islands, is only explicable by the desire of ren dering the outrage more irritating, a ship of the national marine was seized ; the Governor and other officials Of the public alliinistration were kept hos tages, as well as the captain and officers of the captured ship. But all these offences and all these vexations are nothing in comparison with the humiliation of the national flag, the symbol of the sovereignty and emblem of the independence of the Republic—the flag which was replaced by that of Spain. It is the most painful and most bloody insult which could ever be inflicted upon a free people. In acting thus, the honour and dignity of the very person of Peru have been humiliated—her honour and her dignity have been played with. " Can Spain, who calls herself offended by us, oppose any similar outrage ? Supposing true and proved all_ the grounds of complaint she believes herself to have against Peru, can all of them toge ther counterbalance this single one ? Thus then, in the eyes of a just and impartial judge, who shall take insults and satisfaction into account, it is in contestably Peru who will have the right of claim ing satisfaction in the last place. " The law of nations has been violated ; the commonest rules arising out of it have been de spised ; the forms which guarantee its observance have been infringed. After all this, Peru and the other nations of America, the representatives of those of the Old World acquainted with these trans gressions, still hoped for a moment that the Govern ment of Spain, thus rendering homage to justice and to its proverbial magnanimity, would repress and condemn them. " It has indeed reproved them by rejecting the principle of revendication set up by their originators; but it has nevertheless not ceased to occupy the islands—a measure which ought to be the conse quence of its. reprobation ; it has neither given nor offered any satisfaction. " The condemnation of a principle which has served as basis to the consummation of an aggressive act, and even the amendment of that act, is only a nega tive satisfaction. Rights and equity require posi tive acts which re-establish the moral and juridical order changed by the offences committed. " Further, not only has the Cabinet of Madrid stopped short in its first steps upon the way of jus tice, but it has also converted satisfaction into com plaint. In consequence of a statement in all men's eyes prejudiced and improbable, it has caused to be forwarded, in defiance of usage, to our consul at this Court, the proposals with which your Excellency is already acquainted, and the moderation of which it has been attempted to support in the Circular of June 24 last, signed by Don J. F. Pacheco, and in that which occasions the present Note. " Supposing that Senor Morcyra in reality pos sessed that diplomatic character the Government has constantly denied him, for that very reason he had a right that the proposition should be commu nicated to him in an honest and suitable form. How was it possible that a Government treated up till then with such contumely that a despatch relat ing to a matter of the greatest gravity had been left unanswered, which had not even been replied to while disapproving the principle in whose name it had been outraged—that a Government, thus treated, I say, should accept the unusual and con temptuouM method employed to bring it into dis cussion ? Nevertheless, a new complaint was brought against it for not having accepted under these conditions. The enlightened judgment of impartial Governments will appreciate the injustice of this mode of action. "In addition to this complaint, and so many others as little justified, another has been brought forward. Peru is accused of cruelty towards Spanish subjects. This is an accusation long'since prepared ; but as it is generic, I have left it till the close. "To render it possible of belief, it is really neces sary it should be publicly and solemnly preferred. Ido not reply to it. I yield the word to the hun dreds of Spaniards, who, settled in Peru in peace and tranquillity, pass their pleasant and agreeable lives ; to those who, in large numbers, have made considerable and secure fortunes upon that hospi table soil ; to those who greeted General Pinzon on the day of his arrival in the port of Cathie; to those who publicly and spontaneously signed the memorial addressed to their Sovereign in conse quence of the occupation of the Chincha Islands. Let those reply who, from April 14th until now, have continued to live in Peru with the same tranquillity and the same calm as before, devoting themselves to their affairs without being disquieted by the most just and most universal emotion. Lastly, let the public conscience and the notoriety of facts respond. 4 , After this, what remains of the accusations and complaints of Spain against Peru ? What has been the conduct of the Governments of the two nations respectively ? " Regarding the first of these points, that un justifiable aggression on the 11th April—surpassing all the offences Spain believes herself to have re ceived from Peru, even supposing those offences were real and proved—is the most eloquent and most triumphant reply that can be made. As for the second, two successive missions by Peru to obtain the recognition of her independence and the friend ship of Spain ; on the part of the latter Power, one single mission, entrusted to a person evidently pre judiced against Peru, frivolous and of a turbulent temper. Peru making, lastly, a final effort, in the communication of:April 13th, to re-establish the official relations thrice interrupted with Spain ; Spain disdaining to reply to this despatch, and as suming nevertheless that Peru would enter i nto and dis cussion with her under an at least irregular unusual form ; lastly, noisy complaints an d re iterated threats. Peru, free and independen t b y natural right and official re cognition known to etiquette refuse the o justice, does not nev erthele ss w hi c h the law of custom o ve thallththeehninChrisentsie ples who emancipate has established against ps.ropfeessrue,s, Spain, th ani e t m y s s e h lv e e first brought her owes t re o is ver n o e n t pc e°- w insensible a h b o equally as Spain and other nations m odern world have received it successively t b h e a n t efi C t hr s is h t e ianitY , • . forfotmheone another, according to the designs of Pro vidence. With Christianity Peru has received the principle of civilisation and of intellectual culture ; this it is which has inspired her with the holy love of independence and liberty, and which has given her the consciousness of her rights. The religion which has endowed the martyr with ur inspired him with h ero i sm, which creates the and everi. table civic virtues, fortifies Peru, and will prevent her ever falling into abjectness. " Such are the reasons and the sentiments which " I request your Excellency to be good enough to read this despatch to the Minister for Foreign Affairs at -, and to leave him a copy if he so desire. " May God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " PEDRO JOSE CALDERON." Naval and Military Intelligence. The official inspection of the new Herbert Hospi tal, in course of completion on Kidbrook Common, near Woolwich, was terminated on Saturday. The committee consisted of Capt. D. Galion, F.R.S., Under Secretary of State for War ; Col. J. S. Hawkins, commanding Royal Engineer at Wool wich ; Capt. W. Newsome, Royal Engineers, divi sional commanding officer ; Mr. Mennie, surveyor to the War Department; Mr. Ware and Mr. Tait, clerks of the works ; and Mr. G. Myers, the build ing contractor. • The inspection occupied a period of nine days, when the committee at length resolved on the necessity of recommending that the eastern pavilion and other portions of the building should be partially reconstructed, and that other measures should be taken to remedy as far is possible defects at the base of the building, many portions of which are tottering and unsafe, in consequence of the yielding of the yielding of the soil. The cause of this is that the cirtkage, by an extraordinary over sight, was ,0d- be laid down below instead of above the deep layer of concrete and rubble forrp ing the artificial foundation. The occurrence, for which, it is stated, the contractor is in no degree responsible, is exceedingly unfortunate, as the struc- • ture, in its present state, is said to have cost the Government upwards of £300,000. The pavilion has been " needled" or propped up, with a view of forming a new and more lasting and solid founda tion without delay. The officers of the Select Committee of Ordnance in Woolwich Arsenal having recommended the ex periment of trying the advantage of wrought iron in the place of wood, now in use, for gun carriages for field use, their recommendation is ordered to be put in force by the manufacture of a 9-pounder field battery complete. A sample gun carriage in wood, which has been made for that purpose, was on Saturday transmitted to the fitting branch of the carriage department in Woolwich Arsenal, with in structions to carry out the design from the pattern. The framework is to be made hollow and as light as possible, consistently with the strength required. The wheels, limbers, ammunition boxes, and the whole of the materials are to be exclusively of ham mered iron and copper, and the battery, it is calcu lated, will be more serviceable and durable, and will cost less, than the appurtenances hitherto made of wood. In accordance with instructions from the Admi ralty, a formal report has been prepared by the officials of Chatham Dockyard of the result of the trials made at that establishment to test the working of Aveling and Porter's steam traction-engines, one of which has been in constant use in Chatham Dock yard for several weeks past for experimental pur poses, during which it has been put to some of the most severe tests in all descriptions of labour. The results have been invariably most satisfactory. The reports made by the several heads of departments all speak in the highest terms of the advantages result ing from the use of the steam traction-engine in such an extensive establishment as Chatham, as com pared with the ordinary manual and horse labour. On the score of economy the comparison is stillmore favourable, the average cost at which one of the steam traction-engines can be supplied for use in the dockyard being 13s. 6d. per day, which is little more than the contract price paid by the Admiralty for a team of horses ; while day after day, for some weeks past, the traction-engine has been engaged in trans porting loads from one end of the dockyard to the other. This, in the ordinary way, would require as many as 20 horses. The plans are now being the Admiralty for laying down iron tramways through the principal parts of Chatham Dockyard, at an estimated cost of between £20,000 and £30,00b. Experiments have, however, shown that three powerful traction-engines, the cost of which would be some £1,500, would, for all necessary pur poses, entirely dispense with the proposed tram ways, the engines answering all practical purposes, and at the same time doing away with the large outlay now required for the hire of the number of horses requisite to carry on the work at that establishment. ; -'-,-, In order to ascer t a i n t h e amount of means., tin I assistance which could be suddenly brought to . bear upon a fire occurring in Chatham dockyard, direc tions were suddenly issued to the police and other officers at that establishment by Capt. Stewart, C. 8., yesterday afternoon, to attend at a fire which wag supposed to have broken out at the extensive range of buildings known as the storehouses, abutting on the Anchor-wharf, and facing the river. Within only a very few minutes after the order had been given the whole of the police not on duty were on the spot in their fire-clothes, with their sergeant; and inspectors, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Strength, to whom all the operations were confided. In less than 5 minutes from the alarm being passed through the yard, five fire-engines and ten hose-reels were before the premises stated to be on fire, and 200 men and labourers at work at the engines. At the same time the powerful floating engine was brought up the harbour, and within ten minutes the floating engine, five hand-engines, and ten hose-reels were deluging the block of buildings with water, tho supply being apparently only limited by ..,:.kwacity of the reservoir from which it was obtairOkgnough water was thrown from the river and laid engines in a quarter of an hour to extinguish the most serious fire which could possibly occur. The Edgar, 71, screw line-of-battle ship, Captain Geoffrey, T. B. Hornby, flagship of Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres , C . 8., is preparing at Portsmouth for a voyage to Lisbon on special service, understood to be the investiture of his Majesty the King of Portugal with the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. It is stated that the Earl of Sefton goes out to Lisbon in the Edgar as the representa tive of her Majesty and the bearer of the Garter to the King of Portugal.
