Your committee do not doubt that these seasonable additions will call for an expression of grateful thanks, not only from this society, but also from the service at large. The legacy generously left to the institution by Capt. J. Sykes, R.N., has been duly paid over by Messrs. Stillwell, executors. The report then alluded to the death of several distinguished officers and friends of the society. The report was unanimously received and adopted, and ordered to be circulated. say nothing of the monstr'ous absurdity of the charge itself, which is not the question, the conduct of an Under-Secretary in gratuitously flinging dirt at the American Republic in this coarse ane. unpro voked manner is, to say the least, inexcusable as a piece of bad taste, and a flagrant breach of that demeanour towards foreign States which the humblest official should observe." We presume that no notice will be taken of the circumstances by the - United States, and that Mr. Adderley will be treated with the contempt which he &serves ; but the his tory of diplomacy shows many instances in which formal explanations and apologies have been de manded from Governments upon provocations much more slight than that recorded in the present instance.—Philadelphia _lnquirer.

The following Divisional Order was on Saturday issued at Woolwich by Col. Connolly, who took up the command of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines at the commencement of the year :—" The heads of departments are not to require the attend ance of the clerks and other employes on Sundays, except for duties which are indispensable." The publication of the order was received with general satisfaction, as tending.to abolish a custom which has been the subject of much complaint. The following promotions and appointments, dated the 15th inst., have been made in the corps of Royal Marines as announced on Saturday at Woolwich —Second-Lieut. Sydney Tyers, doing duty with a detachment on board the Coastguard service ship Royal George at Kingstown, and of the Plymouth division, to be First-Lieut., and attached to the Portsmouth division, vice Perkins, removed from the list ; Second-Lieut.

Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the division at Aldershot, taking into consideration the severity of the weather, has directed that all sentries shall be relieved every hour from 7 p.m. until 9 a.m., instead of as hereto fore every two hours. For this purpose the guards have been reinforced at 7 p.m. by one additional private for each post and one corporal. The order has given great satisfaction. Ten sergeants, being in the proportion of two each, from the Ist battalion 18th, 65th, 66th, 81st, and 89th Regiments, were on Saturday ordered to proceed from the North Camp station, Aldershott, to the School of Musketry at Hythe.

Royal Naval Benevolent Society. The quarterly meeting of this charity, which was instituted in 1739, for affording relief to officers (being subscribers) of the Royal navy, their widows, and families, under circumstances of misfortune and consequent distress, was held yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's ; Admiral Sir P. Richards, C. 8., in the chair: 131 The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, • The Secretary next read the minutes of the last meeting, &c., whi c h were confirmed. The annual account of receipts and disbursements to Dec. 31, 186 6, showed :—Receipts (including balance from last account £139 16s. 10d.), £7,215 Os. 10d. ; disbursements, £7,117 Bs. ; balance, £97 12s. 10d.

The account of receipts and ex penditure from. Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 1866, showed : Receipts (including balance, £359 7s. 8d ; and dona tion from the Duke of Northumberland, £5,019 13s. Gd.), £5,599 gs. ; disbursements (including purchase of £5,671 19 5 ., Consolidated Three per Cents., £5,019 13s. 6d. ; grants, £403, &c.), £5,01 16s. 2d. ; leaving a balance in favour of the society, £97 12s. 10d. The accounts having been received, _ _ The Secretary proceeded to read the report of the general committee for the year 1866, from which we give the following abstract :-- "The committee commenced their annual report by deploring the continuance of the two evils pointed out last year—the high price of provisions and the increase of house rent, which continues to press heavily upon the class of individuals whom it applicatio ns , an d your comm i ttee is the duty and th e arde nt desire of this society to assist. Circumstan ces have again told upon the quarterly ap plicants as possible, a n d to make the grants as libe ral as the funds o f the institu tion will allow. All have strmo list of o hardf to afford relief t o as many other charitable institutions, having for object the alleviation of their condition, are fully as much sup ported by the contributions, direct and indirect, of civilians ; but the Royal Naval Benevolent Society is self-supported, since, with the exception of the munificent subscription of £5O per annum from her gracious Majesty, and an equal sum from other charitable persons not connected with the service, the whole of the sums distributed are derived from the officers of the Royal navy. The committee re gret exceedingly that the subscriptions continue to fall off. The following table of the annual subscrip tions from all ranks for the last six years will show the gradual falling off :—ln 1861, £731; 1862, £713 ; 1863, £652 ; 1864, £606 ; 1865, £532 ;1866, £514; showing in this short • period a decrease in annual income of £2OO. From this it will be seen how painfully contracted the power of relief would have become had it not been for the munificence of individual officer.., whose liberality counteracts, happily, this sad statement. And here devolves on your committee the pleasing task of enumerating the permanent benefit the society has received under this head. First, his Grace the Duke of Northumber land has presented to thislnstitution upwards of £5OOO —secondly, Vice-Admiral the Earl of Lauderdale, on his advancement to the distinguished post of first and principal aide-de-camp to her Majesty the Queen, generously appropriated £3OO attached thereto to the funds of this charity ; and, thirdly, Admiral Sir W. Bowles, K.C.8., on his elevation to be Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom, has in creased his annual subscription from three to ten MINISTER. We transfer to our columns an article from an American paper, headed "Adderley's Indiscretion," with the object of showing the Under-Secretary for the Colonies and other members of the Tory Go vernment the harm that even a Mr. ADDERLEY may do. These gentlemen are so little in office that they may overlook the responsibility which attaches to their words as members of the English Government. Mr. ADDERLEY might address an assembly, and few people beyond the sound of his voice would care what he said or what he thought, but when he speaks as a Minister the pens "of re porters record every word, and what he utters is read in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. The Tory Government are responsible that a Mr. AD DERLEY should be found in such a position, and as the person is wholly unknown in America —the _lnquirer even styling him " the Honourable"— they simply circulate his slander against their country as the opinion of an English Tory Govern ment. At a Cattle Show the Under-Secretary for the Colonies is reported to have said, that " America " was a by-word with nations in her relations with " foreign powers, and corrupt in her local adminis " trations." This is strange language from the Minister of a friendly Government when speaking of that nation which it is above all things important for England to conciliate, who, from being our natural ally, has, through the injudicious conduct of such men, become almost our hereditary enemy. If Mr. ADDERLEY had any political importance as an individual, the only thing the Government could have done would have been to have turned him out, but his obscu rity shelters his indiscretion. When this gentle man's name first appeared in connection with the incoming Tory Government, we, who bad some little knowledge of him, regarded the appointment with surprise. Many years ago he appeared pro minently among a set of well-meaning enthusiasts, who undertook to place at the antipodes a complete section of English society. That a man who had arrived at years of discretion, and who aspired to be a statesman, could be engaged in so insane a work shows how completely all practical experience in England may be lost sight of in theoretical ab surdities. The theories on which the Canterbury. Association was founded were faultless, and a beau tiful exposition of what society ought to be. Fail ing to realise the ideal in this old country, bur dened with poverty, it was proposed to transplant a section complete, from the lord to the peasant, and to maintain that section in all its grades on a waste track •of New Zealand, then only known as wild island , =, inhabited by cannibals, and the antipodes of Great Britain. Beautiful theories will ever have a charm for theoretical people ; and country gentlemen, country parsons, cadets of good family, and labourers from the estates, were shipped off to a wide, bare plain at the greatest distance the wlrld can allow from their native land, to maintain their relative positions, to intone the services, and to found,' on High Church principles, a model colony. There is scarcely an American from the Rio Grande to the North Pole, of common sense and experience, who could not have told those gentlemen what the result would in all probability be. The labourers became masters, and the lords became servants. Mr. ADDERLEY might explain it by likening the result to the earth a gold digger puts into the cradle— the sifting process brought the dirt to the top and sent the gold to the bottom. Thews and sinews knocked theories on the head, and the labourer, who could build a mud cabin, was able to offer an asylum from starvation to his old master. A howl of indignation, and a loud cry of " deception," came from the dismayed pilgrims. Many returned sadder but wiser men, and those only remained who were able to face the long trial and privation that invariably attend the foundation of anysociety upon a wilderness. Pure luck had directed the location to a spot above all others best adapted for such an experiment. It was a magnificent tract, and the colonists bad the good fortune to be presided over by a man of sense and great ability. He seized the good, and expunged the evil. He saw and recognised the absurdity of the whole scheme, but he saw also that the land had a great future ; and throwing aside all the grand ideas with which he had embarked he adapted himself to the circum stances, and strenuously set to work to make the most of things as they really were. The memory of JOHN ROBERT GODLEY is in the province of Canterbury held in the highest esteem ; and even the absurdities of Mr. ADDERLEY are forgiven, and almost forgotten. But this practical lesson shoal 1 have taught the Under-Secretary for the Colonies the wild absurdity of many of his theories, and shown him the danger of speaking of institutions be does not understand with such venom, as well as indiscretion. We have no wish to drag up words that can but mar the good feeling which is rapidly taking root, throughout both England and America, and as the United States will not condescend to notice Mr. ADDERLEY'S indiscretion, it may not be without its good in showing this Minister the evil fruit such words must bear.—Anglo-American 7 imes. The Hon. C. B. Adderley, who is a member of the British Parliament, and Under-Secretary of the Colonial Department, recently made a speech at a cattle show in England, in which he touched upon the subject of Reform. In doing so Mr. Adderley ventilated his Tory prejudices in the following language :—" If the classes who were then asking to be represented in Parliament were not prepared to upset the institutions of the country, to pay a personal compliment to the Queen at the expense of the throne, or to make elective the higher Chamber of the Legislature, or to admit to the Lower Cham ber such a body as that which returned members of Congress in America, and which had made Ame rica a byeword in her relations with foreign Powers, and corrupt in her local administrations,then the ques tion was a simple one. If there was a wish merely to reform the institutions of the country, it was a question not of principle, but of degree. Upon this ground they need not entertain any animosity, set classes against classes, nor claim for one class all the wisdom and patriotism of England, and vilify another class as if it had neither." Of course Mr. Adderley has a right to his opinions as an indivi dual, and he may, even as Mr. Adderley, tell direct falsehoods, as he did when he said that " America was a byeword with nations in her relations with foreign powers ;" but Mr. Adderley, as a member of the Ministry, was certainly indiscreet, and blameable in making allusion to foreign affairs in his address. Until his Government has made up its mind to break the relations of amity with the United States, his duty as one of the advisers of the Crown was to hold his tongue, or, if he must speak, to •at least speak the truth. His attack upon the United States was too gross even for the English who have strict ideas of propriety in the actions of their servants. The London Star observes in reference to Adderley's conduct, " A more shameful insult was never offered by an Eng lish Minister to a great and friendly power, To Manhood Suffrage in Columbia. Congress, by an overwhelming vote of both branches, has declared universal manhood suffrage in the district of Columbia. This will rank among the most important events of an eventful age. It is the inauguration of a policy in whichthere can beno retrogression. The abolition of slavery in the dis trict was the first step toward universal emancipa tion. The concession of negro suffrage there is the first step to its concession everywhere. Our people will not long contest a measure that is sure to be carried in the end. Knowing a certain result to be inevitable, they are glad to dispense with inter mediate turmoil by accepting it on the spot. We have no fear of what the Old World calla the shock of sudden changes. Our institutions admit of such changes, and our elasticity is equal to their strain. The logical result of emancipation is Negro Suffrage. We cannot call on men to fight for us, and pay taxes and discharge all the onerous duties of citizen ship, without conceding to them therights of citizens. Equality, civil and political, is an absolute require ment of Republicanism, and any Government that does not concede it, denies the Radical principle on which a true Republic must be founded, and with out which it can only exist in name. The action of Congress in the concession it has made is Radical, and important as indicating that the sentiment of the nation is against any partial or half-way mea sures in respect of the suffrage. All attempts to make the suffrage depend on qualifications, such as ability to read and write, the possession of pro perty, &c., signally failed, as did the attempt to mix up the question with another and very different proposition—that of conferring the suffrage on women. Congress saw clearly enough that there was no reason why the alleged in ferior man, or one born black, should be sub jected to discriminating tests or required to possess qualifications not demanded of the white man, his alleged superior. The absurdity of the proposition that the assumed superior man could be ignorant and poor and yet vote, while the negro must be educated and rich in order to do the same thing, was too obvious to be overlooked, and Con gress did wisely In driving at once to a logical and final conclusion. It is not necessary to discuss the question at this day, whether the right to vote in a system of government professing to be from the people and for the people, is an inherent right in the indi vidual, or a privilege conferred by society, for whence does society obtain its own privilege in this respect, to say nothing of its right to concede or abridge it in others ? It is enough for us to know that the whole theory and spirit of our Government require us to admit every man to a voice in its ad ministration. We have the right to limit this privi lege in the case of foreigners coming to this country until it shall be shown conclusively that they intend to become or have become bona ,fide citizens. Other wise we might find our institutions endangered and our laws perverted by the subjects of a foreign state, and in the interest of hostile Governments. These broad principles would never have been denied had it not been for slavery, and the opposi tion to negro suffrage is mainly a prejudice born of that extinct system. It may survive for a while, but, the trunk once cut down, the branches must so on wither. We admit ignorant foreigners and paupers, too, to the suffrage on very slight evi dences of their purpose to become citizens. The foreigner comes here with inbred prejudices, often extravagant ideas, and almost always with real or fancied wrongs to revenge, and in most cases in full devotion to a religion which requires an allegiance, if need be, beyond that due to the State. He brings here his old political grievances, and seeks to drag us into quarrels which are not ours, and in which we have no real interests. Now the negro is an American. His religion is in harmony with that of the country at large. His modes of thought and his sympathies are ours. He does not care what party rules in Dahoiney. He does not agitate against the King of Abyssinia on our soil, or seek to organise expeditions here to deprive him of his provinces. The great Gre-gre man on the Gold Coast may blow the direst excommunicatory blast possible on his ecclesiastical ox-horn without disturbing the equanimity of Sambo, and might send out here in vain for a loan of cowries-to re plenish his exchequer and keep up his state. The negro is national and patriotic. He has no feel ings, interests, or aspirations outside of the United States. The flag he loves and will defend is neither green nor yellow, but striped with bars and lit with , stars. His vote, if given at all, will be cast in the 1 interests—as he may understand them—of his country. To see that he is educated to understand them, and that his unquestioned patriotism shall be instructed and rightly directed, will be a task for those who owe him some return for two centu ries of unrequited service, and who have debarred him from maturing or enlarging his intelligence. Let those who have made him what he now is, give to their Frankenstein a soul I—Frank Leslie's Illus trated Newspaper. THE WEATHER. The frost continues, though with abated severity. It was accompanied yesterday, as on Sunday, by a high north-easterly wind. In the morning, and during the previous night, the Receiving-house thermometer registered 27 degrees. At noon it had risen to 32, where it remained until 8 . o'clock last night, when it sank to 29. The ice in the parks was crowded during the day, and the evo lutions of the ladies and gentlemen of the Skat ing Club on the waters in Kensington Gardens were a source of great attraction to a large n umber of spectators, who lined t he banks in carrifeagresa,nodr on foot. The ice on these waters is from t a h h e a r e l f were o er fi e five inches 5 hes o th o i c p k e . re° e o e n on the o i u c n e, du ando n n d 0 rge of skating e St. r the Long Water about 7,000. i e tore. n T th h e e S ie e e rp i e e n f t e in u e r W a t er there were 12,000 A is o v n last e e o s nee i ht h inches thick and sound lf . ap eetrsBion thens'ekeolou on by were t o a r c l i a d r i g g e torchlight. t. number l,h o The lake James's -park was also crowded during the day, chiefly by the working classes. Upwards of 10,000 persons were on the ice. Serious inconvenience and loss aro now experi enced by the mechanics and other persons living at Woolwich but employed at the Thames iron Works, and at other establishments on the north side of the Thames. For some days the ordinary means of pas sage from pier to pier by steamer was entirely cut off by the state of the ice. On Friday the steamer had made the early passage across with some diffi culty and danger, but did not venture on a second trip, having been entirely hemmed in at North Woolwich by huge masses of floating ice and snow. A large number of men who had taken their tickets to cross and proceed to the tidal basin and other stations, finding the traffic thus suddenly interrupted, demanded a return of their money, which was re fused ; but after some considerable clamour and even threats the money was refunded, and the men were driven to the expedient of proceeding by way of Fenchurch-street, notwithstanding the expense, or otherwise abandoning their employment. At noon yesterday the weather at Weymouth At Great Yarmouth yesterday several trawling smacks arrived and reported a loss of hands during the late gale. In the storm of Wednesday many of the smacks were off the coast fishing for soles, plaice, &c. A heavy sea boarded the Glance, belonging to Mr. L. Shuckford, and carried off one of the crew, who was drowned. A similar disaster occurred to the Daring, the Swallow, and other smacks. The smack Racer was run down by a Hanoverian schooner, but the crew ware fortunately saved by the smack Pet, of Yarmouth. The fall of snow on the flat and exposed coast of Norfolk has been enor mous. The traffic in the parishes of Flegg Hun dreds, immediately surrounding Yarmouth., has been in a great degree suspended, and the numbers of labourers have been engaged in clearing the main 71 In some places the snow is from 10ft. to 12ft:deep. The dykes, lakes, and broads in the vicinity are frozen over, and afford but poor cover for the flocks of wild yowl which seek refuge at this period of the year in these famous Norfolk retreats. The signs of a thaw in the north riding of York shire indicated on Saturday night were but brief, and north-east gales with snow and hail have con tinued since, being particularly severe near the coast on Sunday. The demand for coals is greater than has been known for a very long time, and on Sun day " colliers" were run throughout the day answer ing the double purpose of pilot engines and coal sup ply trains. On Monday morning the first trains all got through,iand all the North and East Riding lines are fully open for traffic, with the exception of the Hull And Scarborough, of which one line is yet blocked in places. There is every indication of a continuance of storm, and the distress thereby occa sioned in the agricultural districts is great, there being no occupation for the labourers. The borough bailiff of Malton convened a meeting of the inhabi tants yesterday morning, at which a public subscrip tion was resolved upon to supply the pressing wants of the poor, and provide temporary employment for the labouring population. The weather is milder, but the streets of Melton are banked with snow from three to four feet deep. A great flood is anticipated when the thaw comes. ABERDEEN, Monday Night. During the last 48 hours a great deal of snow has fallen, and railway communication is again inter rupted. The north mail was six hours late this afternoon, and the Deeside, Banff, and Peterhead lines are all blocked up. Two London mails were despatched, but as the snow continues to fall thickly to-night it is feared the south line maybe impassable to-morrow. The storm is interfering with business, and the number of the unemployed is very great. Charles Dickens in London and Liverpool, The Athenaeum remarks as follows on Mr. Dickens's late readings at St. James's Hall :—" For the moment we can but state briefly, but as strongly as language admits, the admirable success of Mr. Dickens in the resumption of his Readings, the first of which took place in the presence of a crowded audience at St. James's Hall, on Tuesday night. Barbox Brothers' is less varied and 'sensational,' perhaps, than any other of the stories by which this best of readers has won his reputation ; but delicacy in marking character, finish in setting every detail before a large public, play of a musical and many toned voice, seconded,by play of feature, excellently clear of any approach to that grimace which be comes disgusting,--could not be carried further, nor was ever the self-respect of a thorough artist in his prime, contented only insomuch as he can give the best of his best, more clearly manifest. As to the Boy at Mugby' (not forgetting Mr. Sniff and his corkscrew), an outburst of the broadest farce ever directed against a social evil,' it is impossible to exceed the fun and absurdity of a scene which we have all witnessed, suffered from, and laughed at." The Liverpool Mercury, of Friday, thus comments upon the renewal of those readings in that town : Last evening, Mr. Charles Dickens gave the first of a series of three readings in the small concert room at St. George's Hall. There is no need to speak of Mr. Dickens's abilities as a reader. He long ago won his spurs in that capacity, and it is only his reputation as a novelist which makes us forget Dickens the reader in Dickens the author. As in his writings he deseribesplaces and individuals with a microscopical minuteness of observation, so in his readings he brings before the audience, with equal vividness, the characteristic traits of the personages introduced. Mr. Dickens evidently has a natural talent for dramatic representation, and this he has spared no time to cul tivate. An author of unparalleled popularity, Mr. Dickens might have contented himself, as a s easily as might be. But he is many people do, with getting throug h his indkteh.at He e th d in o g e , s if f no i t t e b v e i d d o en ne tly at o a n l e l, o s f ho t u h l o d se wh bew o think on shirk even the lAbour of committing a two hours' reading to memory —a memory which never blun ders, and which is so good that it scarcely seems to need even an occasional reference to the book. Last night he read two of his contributions to the last Christmas number of All the Year Round— " Barbox Brothers," and the " Boy at Mugby." If Mr. Dickens desired to increase the popular appre ciation of his writings, he could not do so more effectually in becoming their vocal interpreter. As a great actor will strike out new and previously hidden points in a character, so Mr. Dickens in vests his stories with a profounder interest and a deeper meaning than the majority of readers would discover in them. There was probably no one of last night's audience who had not read " Barbox - Brothers," but very few, we ventu re t o say, b ad realised with the keen vividness which they mus t the l ‘r Dickens story Aarnp of s te, have done, as they listened to M r ., Di ckens, the beautiful Lam pe p a at ia l d ios hi w s i h n ie v h ali belonged e daughter. t of , was remarkably effecti ve in his recital "t, I conversation with the stranger at the station, rela tive to the peculiarities of parliamentary and " skir mishum" trains, and imitated the polishing process which the kind-hearted fellow constantly carried on, with a comicality which was fatal to the gravity of the audience; but even more effective was the deli very of the passage wherein the daughter tells of her father's affectionate thoughtfulness for her. The meeting of Barbox with little Polly, and the subse quent incidents also afforded Mr. Dickens oppor tunity for the display of the dramatic ability which he possesses in such large measure. " Thy Boy at Mugby" was pure andl simple fun—not without a touch of broad sarcasm in it, though—and the au dience frequently interrupted the reader by bursts of uncontrollable laughter. He was a veritable " boy," hugging himself upon his superiority to ." Papers," and revelling in all the shams of the refreshmenting" departme nt. All the humorous points in this little sketch were capitally brought out, and amazingly enjoyed.
