The 'tower of its author is felt throughout. The work is strongly indl ,clual. There is a racy novelty in its style, in its minute analysis of ` n aracter, in its descriptions of natural scenery, and in its combina• tons of conflicting passions."—Eclectic Review. 4 ,7 We like the book as a whole ; we like its spirit. We sympa use with the author's general charity, with her special love for the old country, the old church, and the 011 Duke ; we kindle with her fer vid bursts of eloquence, and recognise the truth of her p i cture s hum life."—Fraser's Magazine. " There is great ability in this work ; it is full of eloquence. The descriptive passages have seldom been surpassed in beauty and Diet uresqueness. The presence of a searching power and a lofty genius is visible."—Bentley's Miscellany. " Currer B e ll's originality et mind, and the triumphant beauty of the heroine's character, will at once secure for his book great and deserved popularity."—Britannia. " There is something in it of kin to Jane Austen's books, or Maria ildge North's, or W a lt er Scott's. There is human life as it is in n glaad in the though•ful and toiling classes, with the women and elerey thereto appurtenant."—Globe. The hook possesses deep interest and an irresistible grasp of reality, There is vividness and distinctness of conception in it quite m eni rvellous. There are scenes which, for strength and delicacy of tion, are not transcended in the range of English fiction."— XaMnr. London : Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill.

Thi2 is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which hat been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in;his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1546. This pamphlet Is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the pest on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7r. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I la. size contains four of the 4s, A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catartet, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was - an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstons, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped. GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters, Inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the Government order, at Is. lid., 2s. ad., and 4s. tld. each.

George Alexander Collie, Bermondsey-square, was again brought up before Sir James Duke, charged with stealing a number of shares in th e rriesland Gas-light Company, embezzling various sums of money, and making use of a life_policy, the property of his employer, Mr. George Ogle, Great Winchester street, solicitor ; and John Abraham; Charlotte street, Caledonian-road, Islington, with receiving the shares and policy, knowing them to be stolen. After hearing further evidence, Sir- JAMES DUKE said there was nothing touching Abrahams, and therefore he was discharged. The Magistrate re manded the other defendant until to-morrow, to con sider what course ought to be pursued. LAMBETH. Thomas Stevens, William M'Donnell, Ann Plumber, and Catherine Hill, who have been remanded on a charge of drugging and robbing a gentleman named Stoner, of about 141. in gold and silver, and a valu able gold watch and chain, were again brought up. From the testimony of the prosecutor, and a num ber of witnesses, it appeared that on the night of Wednesday week Mr. Stoner, while passing along the Dover-road, on his way home, was seized by both the female prisoners, and dragged into a small hou se i n Sussex-place. Here they insisted upon his standing something to drink; and in the hope of being able to get quietly out of their hands, he gave them two shillings. In doing . this he had un fortunately to take out his purse, and the prisoners, on observing it, insisted upon his stop ping to have part of the drink, and in fact one of them kept her back against the door whilst the other went for smut liquor. On the return of the latter, the prosecutor drank part of some liquor, a n d f rom that moment he became quite unconscious of what passed until the following morning, betw een s i x an d seven o'clock, when he found himself in a wretcteed apartment on the ground floor, with the door open, and nearly perished with cold. He also discovered his pockets cut, and turned inside out, and the whole of his property gone. The whole of th e pr i soners had been seen to leave Sussex-place on the morning of the robbery, and on the following day the females o e ff v , e B rli L ng , — who judged they were purchased a complete change of dress, with smart t b a o k n e n n e s, into & c e . o t from their very appearance that something was O o dny by h y e Sergeant Thurs day Goff, wrong, and upon being searched at the station 51. or Cl. in money was found on am. The case was clearly established against all the prisoners, and they were committed for trial on it, but at the request of Sergeant Goff they were ordered to be brought up again on a future day. John Williams, a smart youth, dressed in a respect able new suit, and whose appearance was such as to deceive the oldest officer, was finally examined on a charge of frequenting two chapels, the one in Lam beth-walk and the other on Brixton-hill, for the pur pose of committing felonies, and also on suspicion of being concerned with a gang of well-dressed thieves in picking the pockets of several ladies. It appeared that on Monday week there was a meeting at the Wesleyan Chapel, in the Lambeth walk, and another at a chapel on Brixton-hill on the following Friday; at each a number of robberies had been committed, and at both purses, containing in the whole upwards of 401., had been taken from the pockets of ladies. The prisoner had been observed to be very busy at each of the meetings in trying pockets, and at Brixton-hill he was given into custody. 'When asked what he had b: en doing in the chapel, the prisoner (the meeting being for the support of a foreign mission) replied, that he had gone for the purpose of hearing something about foreign parts, and the word of God. He was identified by the police as a convicted thief, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. CROYDON, FRIDAY, 1 ♦.M.--A fire of a very alarming and destructive character broke out between eight and nine o'clock last night in the linen factory belonging to Messrs. Larking and Co., situate at the North end, Croydon, near the Crown-inn, and imme diately facing the police station. The factory, which was formed of the most inflammable articles, was at the rear of the front warehouse, and was adjoined on one side by the extensive coach factory belonging to Mr. Armfield, and was separated from the lengthy range of carpenters' and builders' shops belonging to Mr. Kent by only an exceedingly narrow thorough fare, known as Kent's•yard ; so that on the discovery being made a fearful conflagration was expected, and the numerous inhabitants of the houses near the spot at once commenced removing their furniture, Sac., to a more distant place, in order to escape the ravages of the flames. From personal inquiries made on the spot during the progress of the tire, it appears that whilst one of the P division of police was going his rounds in K-rofs-yard he perceived an unusual body of smoke hovering over Messrs. Larking's factory, and whilst looking to find out the cause an immense body of flame shot through the side windows, clearly indicating that the factory was doomed to destruction. Mr. Inspector Shaw, who was in the station. house opposite, instantly sent a strong body of police to render assistance, and at the same time dis patched an express to London for the aid of the engines and firemen. The flames, however, in the course of a few minutes had obtained complete pos session of the whole of the stock in trade in the factory, as well as the looms, and were rushing forth from the different apertures in the place, and also through the roof, completely illuminating the district within a compass of eight or ten miles. This caused the engines of the town, as well as those belonging to the barracks and the Hon. East India Company, at Addiscombe, to start to the scene of conflagration. The firemen attending them instantly set to work from a well in the police-station yard, and with the aid of the police and inhabitants a continued stream of water was kept pouring upon the fire. The moment the news reached London, Mr. Henderson, the chief of the D section of brigade, with an engine and a detachment of firemen, started for the spot, and Mr. Connorton, with the West of England brigade and engine, quickly followed. When they reached the scene the whole of the factory was levelled with the ground, so that the only assistance they could render was to cool the smoking ruins and pre vent any further outbreak. The coach factory of Mr. Armfield has sustained but trifling injury, owing to the exertions of the police and firemen, but the greater portion of the windows in Mr. Kent's workshops are demolished, and the side front very seriously damaged by fire, &c. The whole of Messrs. Lark ing's front warehouse has escaped any injury, which was exceedingly fortunate, considering its close proximity to the burning factory. A vast quantity of wearing apparel, prate, and furniture belonging to the inhabitants was removed to the police station, and protected by the police. Fortunately Messrs. Lark ing's loss is partially, if not wholly, protected by in surance in the Guardian Fire office. Respecting the origin of the disaster, the reporter was informed that a boy who was at work in the factory was sent to post a letter, and that in his hurry he left a candle burning, and it is supposed it must have fallen upon some of the linen undergoing the process cf finishing.

Mr. Corry Connellan had also an int‘aview with the Right Hon. I3aronet. THE PAST AND PRESENT STATE OF THE .NAVY. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. , My Lord,—Mr. Tierney said in the House of Com mons, " Give me a well-manned navy and a full Ex ' chequer, and I will defy the world." Captain Eons said, " A great part of the national debt has been incurred in building ships and pulling them to pieces." I shall take these two observations for my text, and examine whether they are correct or not. When Lord Auckland came into office in 1847, he got up a Channel squadron, consisting of five sail of the line and as many steamers. This was done, I presume, in consequence of the disagreement with France about the Spanish marriages. Lisbon was the head-quarters of that squadron, which varied from six to four sail of the line, as it became necessary to relieve the ships on foreign stations. When the revolution broke out in France in February, 1848, one three-decked ship was sent to the Mediterranean, and one to Madeira for the Queen Dowager, and two and a frigate, with a proportion of steam-vessels, to Cork, to be in readiness to clieck any revolutionary move ment in Ireland ; and I have reason to believe that the facility with which the marines of that squadron were moved from port to port on the coast, with the im posing appearance of part of it in Queenstown and part in Kingstown, very much tended to prevent an outbreak in that country. After the failure of the great Chartist movement in England things appeared to get more quiet in Ireland, and the squadron was recalled to Spithead in May. The Canopus was paid off ; the Prince Regent took her place; and shortly after it was reinforced by the Bellerophon, Blenhein, several steam -vessels and cor vettes, and in July we again sailed for Cork with four sail of line, one frigate, one corvette, one terew cor vette, three brigs, and a steamer. The &eject of this squadron was to try the qualities of the several vessels previous to proceeding to their different stations, as well as to be at hand for unforeseen accidents. Ireland became again disturbed, a rebellion was threatened, and the squadron, as before, was distributed on various parts of the coast. A very strong force of steamers was collected at Kingstown, ready to move troops whither they might be wanted. Owing to the energetic and judicious arrangements of Lord Clarendon, the re bellion was put down, and the squadron proceeded to sea to try the different vessels and practise evolutions, so much required by all branches of the service, from the admiral downwards. After ten days' cruise the squadron returned to Queenstown, end finally to Spithead, the corvettes and brigs proceeded to their respective stations, and a strong force of steamers remained in Ireland. Shortly after this Bellerophon was ordered to the Me diterranean, Blenheim and Ampkion were laid up, and the Powerful, which had been lying at Spithead, half manned, for nearly a year, took Bellerophon's place. The squadron, now composed of St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful, Orestes, Rifleman, Plumper, Reynard. and Stromboli, then sailed for Lisbon, where they ar rived after a very long and very boisterous passage on the 4th of January. It was intended to cruize as far as the Canary Islands, and return to Lisbon ; but a dis pute having arisen with the Emperor of Morocco, the squadron, joined by the Harlequin, left Lisbon and went to Gibraltar, where they anchored at night on the 27th of January, and were jolned by Sidon and Polyphemus. The appearance there of the squadron, which was reinforced by the Rodney and Vanguard on their way home, settled the Morocco question in a satisfactory manner. The latter ships were ordered home, Regent and Powerful to the Mediterranean, Orestes to the Cape, and shortly after the squadron was broken up, ordered home, and paid off. Seven thousand men wore turned adrift as fast as possible; and two half-manned ships—one at Portsmouth and one at Qieenstown—took the place of the Channel squadron, which I believe was as efficient as any squadron that ever swam the seas. Officers and men had become accustomed to sail in line and keep their stations in the night—so necessary for the preservation of the ships—besides going through evolutions which in time of peace they have few oppor tunities of learning. The break ng up of the squadron was to please Mr. Cobden and his friends; and may I ask what economy has it led to? Russia made an un reasonable demand on Turkey; we became alarmed — the two half-maaned ships were completed, the very steamers that were paid off have been brought forward, and several vessels of different descriptions been com missioned, and had things turned out serious, we were at the mercy of Russia, the 7,000 men that had been turned adrift were nowhere to be found, and nothing left but to fall back on the coast blockade. The Turkish question is now settled, the Baltic frozen, and we are safe ; but, my Lord, let me ask your Lordship where we should have been had the Emperor of Russia persisted in his unjustifiable demands? His Black Sea fleet would have been in the Golden Horn before ours could have been iu the Dardanelles; and when there we had not steamers to tow them to Con stantinople. This is not all; the Russian fleet in the Baltic, of from 20 to 30 sail of. the line, might have ap peared on our coast and dictated to us what terms they pleased with regard to Turkey; we were powerless, and must have submitted —or, where would have been our trade? where would have been our funds ? and - even, I may ask, whore would have been the capital of Great Britain? Had they thought proper to have played a more prudent game, they might have sent their fleet to the Mediterranean, where they would have found friendly ports, and satisfied themselves with the settle ment of the Turkish question. Had our Channel squadron been kept up—and had the three flag ships been efficient ships, as they ought to be—they would soon have been manned, formed the nucleus of a squadron, and kept Russia in check till our fleet was ready. And here I may ask for what reason are the three flag ships inefficient? That system was once tried before, and given up as improper, and now we are trying it again. These ships should be constantly ready, and in the event of emergency the admirals and their stuff turned over to three other ships to get them ready, and captains, offi cers, and men appointed to those they had left. So much, my Lord, for the first part of my text. I think I have shown we have anything but a well-manned navy. I now come to the second. On the Ist of January, 1815, the list of our navy was as follows: Three-decked ships Two-decked ships ••• 50 44-gun ships, on two decks ... 26 Frigates of 30 guns and upwards ... 162 Ditto under 30 guns . 50 Ships and vessels under 20 guns ... 328 Showing a total of 747 ships of all descriptions, not in cluding ships building, store ships, receiving ships, Sec. I shall now see what has become of them. Of the 22 three-decked ships there remain four tit for sea, two for harbour service, one seamen's hospital ship, and one gunnery ship. All the rest have disappeared, and two prison and hospital ships besides. Whether they were all worn out or made sway with to be replaced by larger ships lam not prepared to say. Six were built between 1765 and 1788., four between 1793 and 1800, and nine between 1801 and 1814; they have been replaced by nine ships of 120 guns, one of 116 guns, and three of 104. Atter the long experience we had during the war the country had a right to expect that the three-decked ships built since should have been perfect, particularly as we bad one ship, the Caledonia, allowed by all hands to be faultless; but the Admiralty of the day thought other wise; at an expense of 92,0001. she was converted into a ship which sails badly, and carries her ports lower than before. Lord Exmouth asked as a favour that she might not be spoilt, in vain. Britannia is said to be after Caledonia before she was altered ; but that cannot be, as she is very crank; Howe and St. Vincent, by the Surveyor of the Navy, very crank • , Nelson, Neptune, Royal George, Royal William, and St. George, are said to be after the Caledonia, and I hope they are ; but if they are like the Prince Regent, which was likened to the Caledonia, hut se crank that she was cut down, it is not saying much for them ; Trafalgar and Waterloo after Caledonia, en larged—the former is a good ship, hut does not sail, the latter I suppose will be like her; Catnperdo'vn was built after Impregnable, and is good for nothing as a three decker ; Princess Charlotte and Royal Adelaide after the lines of Victory—the former is a good !hip; though small ; the latter I kno le nothing about ; all the ships of three decks that have been yet tried say very little for the acquirements of those who built them. We shall now see what the new system has produced. The Queen is certainly a good ship ; I have tried her in fine weather, and I never saw a three-decker equal to her. She went through several alterations it is true, but I speak of her as I found her. In light winds and the sails clewed up with a moderate swell, the St. Vincent, by clinometer, rolled 60 times in the hour, 12 dog. to leeward and 4 deg. to windward; the Queen 201 rolls, 14 deg. to leeward, 11 deg. to wind ward; the Canopus 278 rolls, 15 deg. to leeward, 9 deg. to windward; Albion 480 rolls 15 deg. to leeward, 10 deg. to windward. I must, however, observe that the St.. Vincent is a particularly easy ship, and Sir Baldwin Walker, a much better judge, says in bad weather the Qteen is perfect. Royal Frederick, Victoria, Prince of Wales, Royal Sovereign, Winthoe Castle', and Marl borough are, I believe, built after the Queen, and I hope they are so, as iu general our attempts at improvement have turned out failures, and certainly the Admiralty took an odd manner to get information, for when a com mittee of reference was appointed, the instructions were as follow:—" In the event of any nautical difference of opinion between the Surveyor and the committee thus constituted, the report of the Surveyor is to be re ferred to the committee, and that of the committee to the Surveyor; who are to state, after having duly weighed the arguments in favour of their respective views, whether or not they still adhere to their respective opinions." I wonder whether the Surveyor ever attended to such an absurd instruction; I should think not; and the committee of reference has been abolished. Toe San Joseph is now broken up; she was a good ship, hut being a foreigner was never copied. Th© Royal Albert, by Mr. Laing, is larger than the Q teen, and there I h-pe we intend to stop, for unless we can produce a larger class of men they nowr will be able to furl the courses. If more two decked ships are required, we had much better cut down our bad three deckers, and replace them with new ships. Prince Regent was worthless as a three-decker, but makes a powerful 90-gun ship. This is certainly an expeneive means of getting good two-decked shipe, by first build ing them up as three•deckers and cutting them down; ... 22 ... 159 but as wo have made blunders w•e had better acknow ledge them. . • I now come to the two decked ships; they have been cut up without mercy. At the end of the war we had 159 ships of two decks, not including those on the stocks ; 23 prison ships, receiving ships, powder magazines, &c. 01 the 159 four have been turned into bad steamers, 11 cut down to frigates, 18 turned into convict ships, lazarettos, receiving ships, &c., and 111 have disappeared altogether, and all the prison ships, deaU:s, except one. Several two•decked ships have 'been broken up, cut down, or converted, without being at sea, as follow :—The Redoutable, built in 1815, 'costing 86,0491., was broken up in 1841. The Anson, built in 1812, costing 88 7621., turned into a convict ship in 1843. The Vindictive, built in 1813, costing 81,5401., was cut down in :1832, and was then put out of sight on the upper part of the harbour for ten years, because Mr. Blake, who cut her down, con trived to get six guns ahead, in a line with the keel, which no other builder had thought of. She has been at sea two commissions, has been highly spoken of, and is now ready for a third. Since 1815 we have launched 49 two decked ships. The Minotaur, costing 76,662/, has been converted into a convict ship without being at sea; so has the Black Prince; and the Defence, costing, I suppose, as much. Two which have been at sea have been turned into store ships and coal depots; one into a trooper, and one burnt; two of them were only built in 1819; there now remain 40. Of the war two-decked ships which have disappeared, seven were built between 1765 and 1780, 20 between 1783 and 1793, six between 1796 and 1800, and 31 between 1800 and 1814. 01 the immense number of ships taken from the enemy during the war, the Canopus and Im • placable clone remain. 22 convict ships—receiving ships--have disappeared also. It is not possible that all these ships should have been worn out. The Canopus, taken in 1797, and the Implacable, in 1805, are still in existence ; what year they were built in 1 do not know, but as 11 have been converted into frigates it is pre sumable that others were fit for the Fame purpose. We know that the Tremendous was seivenced at Wool wich to be broken up, but was saved, became a fri gate, has been to the Pacific, and is now ready tor sea. We have now, in addition to the war line-of battle ships, two-decked ships of various builds. Sir Robert Seppings introduced the 92-gunned ships, on two decks, the same tonnage as the largo three deckers. Of that class we have three. The Rodney is the only one tried; she is a fine warlike ship but is not a very superior sailer. The late Surveyor launched two 90-gun ships and nine 80's; there are various opinions abut them; in smooth water I believe they sail well when not overloaded; but when deep under a head sea they lose much of their sailing qualities, and if the reports laid before Partiament be true they roll terrifi cally. But without giving any opinion of them, one thing is quite certain—if they are bad ships there are too many built and building; if they are good ships, why have they been discontinued? That a set was mar'e against the late Surveyor is most true, whether just or not I cannot say; and we all know how difficult it is to get et the truth. My own opinion is that we plunged into a new system with too much precipitation, and ha%e t.bandoned it without being certain we have adopted a better. The present plan, I believe, is to give more length, reduce the breadth, and flitter► the floors of the late Surveyor's ships that are not too far advanced; and I du trust they will try one before they go headlong into thisnewsystem. _ _ No shipbuilder of the old school Ills as yet produced anything remarkable as a line of'. battle ship, and it is singular that the best two-decked ships we have for 811 purposes are those built after the Canopus, which ship Sir George Cockburn very properly brought forwaid and saved from destruction. The 70-gunned ships that take the place of the 74 have not been tried. There are tw o of them, and we seem to have quite forgotten that there are such seas as the North Sea and Baltic, where small ships en two and three decks, with a light draught cf water, are indispensable. There are also many places where the like qualification is necessary; and I well recollect that during the siege of Cadiz we were obliged to look up all our old 64's, with a light draught of water, so that they might lay clear of the enemy's shells. Another thing we seem to have for gotten, that all the work of the wer was done by the 74's, and that the large ships did not stand the block ade so well as the small ones. I shall be told, no doubt, that our 74's are not fit to go into the line, as other na tions have incroastd the size and calibre of their ships. That is quite true, but there was no necessity for letting them go to decay and breaking them up. Some have been turned into 50-gun frigates, and we are now build ing frigates of 60-guns. Had the upper-deck guns and poops ban removed from the small 74's, as was done with the Elephant—which, by the bye, was broken up aftcrwards without being at sea—they would have made very good 60 gun frigates till they were worn out. Then, and not till then, should we have built frigates of that magnitude, if it Wil9 found they were good ships at sea. The 50-gan *hips and 44's on two decks, 26 in number, are all gone. ..We e persisted . in building these ships many yearn after the youngest boy in the navy knew they were useless. The last, I think, was the Isis, and she was converted into a frigate. I blame those who continued to build them at a great expense, and I think those who got rid of them would have shown more judgment had they converted them into receiving-ships, coal depots, &c., instead of many tolerable two-decked ships. The greatest slaughter of all was the frigates, from 30 guns and upwards. At the end of the war we had 162, besides store and receiving ships. The large frigates were thought perfection till the American wer proved they were totally incapable of contending with the large Ameriean frigates; but notwithstanding that, and the number we had on hand, I find by a Parlia mentary return dated the 24th of April, 1846, since the year 1815 we built no less than 45 from 42 to 46 guns, only 13 of which have been to sea. I shall first examine what has become of the war frigate; and afterwards what has become of the 42 and 46-gun frigates built since 1815. It appears by the Navy List, published by authority, and also by other official documents, that all the 162 frigates have disap peared, except 7 fit for sea ; 3 have been cut down to corvettes and 1 turned into a screw-steamer; 25 have been turned into coal depO's, receiving ships, and laza rettes; 2 into troop ships, and 125 have disappeared altogether. Of those built since 1815, 12 have been turned into depOt and coal hulks; 4 cut down to cor vettes; 3 into screw-steamers; 1 paddle-steamer ; 1 burnt; 1 lost. 23 remain as frigates. Several of the 12 depots have never been at sea. The Amphion, a screw vessel, had her bows altered twice, at an ex pense of 6,9281., and was two or three years in the hands of the engineer, and I don't know if she is ready yet.. The Horatio has had her stern fitted for a screw in an extraordinary manner, but has not yet been tried; nor have the other three. Twenty-two out of the 45 built since 1813 remain as frigates; generally speaking, the 42 and 46-gun frigates were good ships. Six frigates of 32 guns, 12. pounders, built is the war, were useless. I commanded two of them; they were very crank, and could neither fight nor run away. Of thcsa cut down without being at sea, the Amaz in, built in ]S2I, cost 42,9201., was cut down in 1844 ; the Daedalus, in 1826, cost 35,0091., cut down in 1844; Brilliant, built in• 1814, cost 49,8034; Thames, built in 1823, cost 37,051/4 Bacchus, in 1817, cost 34,6914, and ilebe, in 1826, cost 32,4841, were turned into hu'ks. In addition to these, tho Trincomalee and Amphitrite, costing, I suppose, as much as the others, were cut down to corvettes, and the latter had her bow lengthened, ithout doing her any good. Tigris and Statira, on the stocks, well advanced, were pulled to pieces, and their materials converted to other purposes. The line-of battle ships and frigates built since 1815, and broken up, cut down, and converted without being at sea, cost 619,700/, and I dare say the cutting down, converting, &c., did not cost less than 200,0001., if I may judge by the expense of cutting down and repairing the Dublin, which amounted to 52,839/. I think it was after the first commission an attempt was made to break her up, and an estimate of the repairs necessary was spat in, amounting to 40,0001. This rather alarmed their Lordships ; they crier( d .!.:er to be re-surveyed, the estimate was reduced to 10,0001., and it actually cos: 8,9371. 15s. 10d. The expense of building the Amphi trite and Trincomalee I have no return of, but I sup pose it could not be less than 7e,0001., besides the cutting, dowa and lengthening. We have now on the " Navy List," four frigates of 60 guns building, 27 frigates of 50 guns, including those cut down ; 10 building; 38 from 30 to 46 guns; one building—all, I believe, good ships, though few in comparison with what we had at the end of the war. Of frigates from 20 to 30 guns we had, in 1815, 50, many of which ought never to have been built. Six, I believe, mounted 22 c'arronades; one of than and a cor vette were taken by an Atrerioan frigate; they sailtd too badly to escape, and their i:hot could not r ach their oppAient. Thy were much worse than the oil 23, such as the Hinae, which ship might been copied if it was thought necessary to build such small frigates; but the opinion then, ?Is is now, that no frigate , •built ship should be under 30 gun:. The ship-sloops of 16 guns, but nominally 22, wr,•re converted into frigates by 11c. Yorke's Aclmitalty--which class of vessels was persisted in long after all practical men thought them useless. They have now all disappeartd except the Perseus rcceivirg-:ship in the river. Nevertheless 24 ships of 28 guns, commonly called " el..:.nlePys," were built after the war; one has been cut down to a corvette, and answered much better, the rest have all disappeared but 10; and six converted into stoic ,end receiving ships, and a new class of 28-gun frigates, pierced for 30 guns, were brought forward by the late Surveyor, rrit:ch superior to the " donkeys,' but much inferior, I think, to the old ships from 42 to 46 guns, the great2r part of which have disappeared ts I have already sh.;sva. Scme of the "donkeys" were built by amateurs, but were not much better. Two of them—the Chall-nger and Tyne—wore so crank that had they engaged each other with a press of sail the shot of the weather ship would have gone under the keel of the leo one, and the shot of the ke ship over the trucks of the weather one. Of vessels under 20 guns there were no less than 323. The best class of these vessels were the 18-gun brigs; we used to think them perfection, but the Adnii ralty of the day thou;ht otherwise, and built a set of corvettes longer than the brigs. They were soon dis carded as being bad 'vessels and unsafe. Lord Spencer's Admiralty built a v, hole lot of flat and useless gun brigs and named them after his Lordship's hounds. They enla neither sail nor'eli to windward, and were in sensequence ill adept - 6d to blockade an enemy's ports; They_are all gor*, and that class will never again appear on the list of ,t navy. Of the 18-gi.n beige there are none left; some of them were turn icl into ship: at an expense of 800/. er 900!., - Rrid c1:f1 rot answer. [hey have disaKeared, together ' with all the small craft of every description; their place has been taken by a number of 16-gun brigs, built by the late Surveyor, and I believe they are considered much superior to the 18-gun brig:, both in weight of metal and sailing. Before they were built a class of sloops were brought forward by different builders; they are not bad vessels, and still in existence, but much in ferior to the three corvettes of the late Surveyor. Another class of vessels was built—l mean the 10 gun brigs; they were begun in 1808, when no less than 36 were built. I suppose they were intended to take the place of the flat brigs, and they seem to have been built with the same precipitation. After the war was over we continued building —though for what purpose God only knows—and launched no less than 64: 4 foundered at sea, and 260 men perished; 6, turned into packets, were lost with 168 men, besides passengers; 7 were re duced in armament, and top-hampered; 35 have been broken up or sold; 12 turned over to the Coast Guard or breakwaters. I have before said that a nunater of 16 gun brigs have been built on tie plan of the late Surveyor, to take the place of the 18 gun brigs; and a chit s of 10-gun brigs, far superior to the old ones, took their place. --- To sum up the whole, we have got rid, in various ways, since 1815, of 13 three-decked si,it,s and 2 receiv ing ships; 153 two decked skips and 22 receiving ships; 21 50's and 44's cn two-deck, and 9 receiving ships; and 180 frigates (from 30 to 50 guns), and 17 receiving ships; 65 frigates under SO guns; 418 vessels of all de scriptions, under 1 . !0 guns, and 20 receiving ships, We have built 14 three•decktd ship; 49 two-flecked ships, one of which has been turned into a troop, ono into 3 store ship, two into convict hulks, ono into a laciirette, one into a coal depot, one burnt, ono broken up, ono disappeared in Canada—leaving 40; 73 frigates, from 30 to 50 guns; 39 frigates, uadcr 30 guns; 161 vessels of sill descriptions, under 20 guns, not including small craft and steamers. In addition to the expense attending breaking up ships and building new ones, thousands of pounds have Leen spent in :leering ships' sterns and magazines. No less than 28 ships had their sterns altered on Sir Robert Seppinga' plan, by a return of the 24th of April, 1846; but the expense was not stated. I suppose they were ashamed of it. Twenty-six ships of different sizes by the same return, had their sterns altered on another plan; some,of them twice, and the Boscawen three times; some also that had been altered by Sir Robert Seppings before were again altered on the second plan. No less than 6S ships, by the same return, hail their magazines altered—one of them three times, and eight of them twice. The expense, 1 suppose for the same reason is, not returned ; but the reason given in the re turn was, " that there was no means of aseertaieing it." The same return gives all the ships cut down, as 8 three deckers, 14 two-chckers, 10 frigates, 1 corvette. How many more have been cut down since I have no Parlia mentary return to guide me ; but your Lordship may form :an opinion of the total expense when it cost 52,839/. to repair and cut down the Dublin. From 1815 to 1820 the navy cost the country 26.262,783/.; in this are not included the wages and victualling, which do not appear in the estimates. From 1821 to 1849 the estimates amount to 156,975 8581.; of that the dockyards have absorbed 44,396,0501., and the half-pay and pensions 47,422,3781. The navy estimates last year amounted to 7,068,730/., of which only 2,079,0631. went for wages and victuals, while the dockyards and materials cost no less than 2,565,977/. It is ;n this branch that we ought to economise, not in the effective of the navy. Let us employ fewer men and expend fewer materials. I have shown what we have been building and pulling to pieces since the peace. Our ships could not have worn out so fast. We built bad classes of ships, and have been getting rid of them as fast as possible. W e built bad steamers, and have been obliged to build others, and we are still in a wrong direction. We built 83 iron steamers that are useless. We built four or five pair of engines that the steamers could not carry, and no have been obliged to build small,r ones that they can carry: there is where the waste is. The Ad miralty costs 136,303/.-4,500/. of which goes to the First Lord, who knows nothing. I shall say nothing about what is expended in the improvement of yards, because that was necessary ; but we went too fast, particularly at Plymouth. The hAlf pay and promotions amount to 1 395,072./. — about two-thirds of the effective force. That would diminish if they would let it tibiae. Her Alajesty has only the power of granting pensions of 1,2001. a year. The First Lord of the Admiralty ca❑ grant mere than that in a day in the way of promotion. Ido not want to stop promotion; but I would limit promotion to one for every two removals—this to include everything. At present it nominally One in three ; but there are all sorts of ways of evading that, and it is evaded. The Government must look things in the face—begin in time to economise, and show that they are serious. There must be no more taxation—then) must be reduction, or there will be no more income-tax. Naval officers, who are in the habit on beard a ship of watchieg the working of the artificer, and who are obliged to be economical in the expense of stores, as few are supplied, know full well that we do not get the work that we ought to do, and till naval officers know the destruction attending the paying off ships. A ship when first cominissioued requires many arrange na.nts that it is irapossFule for the dockyard to dos 'During the commission her captain puts her in order, and there is a pride amongst officers to excel each other in the order and beauty of th e i r s hi ps; t h ere s i orerooma are magnificently fitted, the stoma of every description are stowed away pith the gr ea t es t care. After - a service nahoofbeetawnd is paid , een three ofrandwitfh the burye u a t r m s 0, 04.1 di o ship comes rigging, that would have l as t e d a year "o two goes to the lot-) ard, sa il s are condem n ed and longer, up, the storercoms are denuded, and the small stores bundled on shore and no more heard of. What an enormous expense would be saved if ships were kept longer in commission; and, if they required great repairs, another ship was brought fur ward, and all her stores turned over to her to be worn out without going into that fiery furnace, the dockyard. I have commis sioned ships and paid them off, and speak from expe rience, when the system of paying by meseurement was in force; everything that paid well was sure to be de stroyed in an incredibly short time. When I commis• sioned the Galatea, which had been in commission three years, and was well fitted, it was all to begin again. A Portuguese frigate that brought me home from Lisbon was ordered to be repaired to a certain extent by our Government. The destruction that took place was nearly as much as the Government allowed, and the Portuguese paid the rest of the bills. Bad as their own system was, ours was worse. Our dockyard peopo have no idea that there is either waste of time or materials in their work; all naval officers are quite aware of it, but e are told we are no judges. Alterations cost an enor mous sum of money, and so do the whims of captains oho have interest to get alterations made. The dockyards are paid by the day, and more than that alterations cost money, and if those alterations were fewer and more work done, fewer men would be re quired and fewer materials nccessery. When a man builds a house he weighs well his plan beforehand, be cause he knows full well what alterations will cost him. The superintendents have too much to do; they ought to have under them, for dockyard duty only, an active captain, who should be constantly in the yard, with no office work. The superintendent ought to have the en tire power of entering end discharging mon when ha thought proper. If he jobbed the Admiralty could punish him ; but if the Admiralty job, and they are the greatest jobbers, there is no one to punish them. The " leading men" have not authority sufficient over the men under them; they are only paid a trifle more; they move in the same condition, live, perhaps, next door to each other; their wives and famili:s meet constantly, and zealously enter into the feelings of their husbands and parents. How then can it be expected that a leading man sill choose to find much fault and injure his neighbour? Instead of leading men there ought to be well paid officers at the head of each gaag, so that ho would silver come into contact with his men except on duty. Some sort of comparison might be made of the work done by different gangs, and these who work the most and destroy the least should be re warded. There are tco many heads of departments; they interfere with each other, and the responsibility is not well defined; and there is too much office work for the heads of departments : and they have not time suffi ciently to superintend the various gangs employed is different parts of the yard. When a ship is under repair. the carpenter of the ship, or some one interested in her, ought to have more power and some check over the expense. And if a ship is preparing for commissioning, the captain ought at once to be appointed to her to superintend her fitting. If she is an, advanced ship, he ought to go on board immediately, and so ought the officers and men. No hulks should be allowed, and not a single man from the dockyard employed upon her, except to wedge her masts. But 1 vary meet doubt whether we have a ship at any port so completely ready as to be able to receive men. Wo are now very propsrly taking the masts out of the ad vanced ships teceuse they decay. But I may ask how they came in? The fact ed . decay was ascartemed 10 or 15 years ago, the r ests were removed, and it was found we had hardly a sound mast in the yard. A eiew,Admi ralty colece into office, and they try the same experi ment that was found defective by their predecessors. 1 have sail that I would very much reduce the dockyards, but that should be done gradually by suspending entries, an d I very much doubt the pr o p r i e t y o f b r i ng i ng up ep p r entices. , '.They learn to be mete/is early in life, and never get tee better of it. It would be much wiser, when men are enteeed, that they should be chosen !rein merchants' yards, wh ere th e y are b a tt er l oo k e d a ft er an d obliged to work more, and waste less than in her Majesty's establishments. There are many other ways of reducing our overgrown establishments if we were inclined, but wo seem to be going the other way and are establishing steam factories, and if we make engines there will be a great addition to the expense and an end to hail rovement. We have a factory estabkshed at Portsmouth, with a staff that no private yard could support. The factory and machinery cost about 100,0001., and I hope Parliament will move for a return f the work they do, and compare it with what is done in private yards. I believe in that factory we employ ISO boilermakers alone. We had much better limit ourselves to repeiiing engines and boilers, and let new engines and new boilers be made by private engineers. If a strict hand is not kept on our engineers in the fac tories they will gradually go on entering men for repairs, and when they have nothing to do will begin to make eng ines, and if they aro prevented from that they will manage to take every steam-engine to pieces that comes under their hands. To prevent that as much as possible, and to employ our sea going engineers, when's). steamer is disarmed I should retain all the engineers and the stykeie, nn let the engines be repaired by them Admission, I s.—Schools, Half-price.

SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Founded A.D. 1815. Constituted by Act of Parliament. PRESIDYNT. The Right Hon. the EARL of ROSERERRY, K.T. The Society i; founded on the principles of Mutual Contribution; or, in other words, on the principle of appropriating the whole Profits to the Assured. The average amount of Insurances effected during the last twelve years has been upwards of Half a Million sterling annually. The Capital accumulated and invested now amounts to upwards of 1,070,0:01., and the Annual Revenue to upwards of 300,0001. The Bonus Additions declared at the last periodical investigation in December, 1845, were in the case of the older Policies and on the Original Sums insured, as follows :—The Retrospective Bonus up wards of 3 per cent. per annum, and the contin:;ent Perspective Bonus upwards of three and a half per cent. per annum. The proportion of the Profits allocated to each Member, may be applied in any of the following ways, viz.:— By Additions to the Original Sum Insured. By en Immediate Payment of its Value in Money,—or By an Equivalent Deduction from the future Annual Premiums. The practical operation of the principles upon which the Society is established, may be judged of from the fact, that in the event of the death of a Member in the present year after payment of the yearly premium, If insured in any of the years from 1915 to 1819, for every 1,0001. insured his representative would receive • • •• • • • • •• •• £1,954 3 If insured in 1825 for 1,000!., they would receive .. 1,559 18 10 If insured in 1839 for 1,0301., they would receive .. 1,445 13 G And so on, proportionally, to the Members insured subsequently to the year 1830, if the Policies be of five years' endurance. Proposals completed before the Books are closed for the current year have the important advantage c f a full year's standing over those delayed till after that period.
