E-ELECTION OF MR. SIDNEY ILERBE.RT. SALISBURY, Thursday.—The Right Hon. Sidney Her bert's seat in Parliament for the southern division of the county of Wilts having been vacated, according to con stitutional rule, by his acceptance of the Secretaryship of State for the Colonies in Lord Palraerston's Govern ment, the right hon. gentleman presented himself before his constituents to-day in this city, and was re-elected by them without opposition. The writ having been duly read, and the act against bribery, intimidation, &c., hurried through amid less than the average amount of impatience on the part of "the free and independent electors," Mr. A. PowELL nominated the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert as a fit and proper person to represent the southern division of the county of Wilts in the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. J. H. JACOB seconded the nomination of Mr. Herbert. The HIGH BAILIFF then inquired if any elector had any other candidate to propose, and, no response being made to his summons, he declared the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert to be duly elected a knight of the shire to serve in Parliament for the southern division of the county of 'Wilts. (Cheers.) Mr. S. HUBERT ;hen rose to address the electors, and was received with loud applause. He said—Mr. High Sheriff and gentlemen, my friend Mr. Jacob has reminded me that this is the fifth time that he has re commended me for your suffrages to represent you in Parliament. lam not sure that he ;has arithmetically counted the number quite accurately, because I am sen- Bibles of the fact that I have been a very troublesome raember to this constituency, and I owe them my apo logies on that account, for this is the third time that I have stood before them as a candidate for the honour of representing them in the existing Parliament. Gentle men, you are so well aware of the circumstances which have given rise to the necessity for Illy now appearing before yon that I need not delay you long in making any comments upon them. I believe that when, two years ago, I entered the Government of Lord Aberdeen I had your approbation in so doing. P 3 felt , by you then, as it was felt by me tbs. e • üblic I ateeee. i emergency no esee • tee,: le CA'_ with honour serve the Crown and the public is justified Ls refusing his assistance for that purpose. (Hear, hoar.) I think, therefore, that at this moment you will agree with me that all who could in any way further the public service were bound to contribute what•aid they conld to this object. (Hear, hear.) There is no deny ing that the circumstances of the coentryat this moment are critical; there is no denying that the war in which we are engaged with a mostpowerful enemyis one which require at our hands the putting forth of every effertand the exercise of every energy of which this country is capable. (Cheers.) We have had that war to wage by the instrumentality of an army which is one of the finest and noblest that ever left the shores of England—which never met the enemy except to conquer, but which, I regret to say, has met with an enemy more fell, and more dangerous to it, than the actual foe—that is, disease— by which it has been crippled to a fearful extent, and has had to undergo privations and hardships which have been borne with a heroism almost unexampled, but which may be and must be attributed to causes that require searching investigation—(applause)—in order that the proper remedy may be applied, and that the blame, if blame there be, should fall upon the right shoulders. (Hear, hear.) This inquiry it behoves the Government to lose no time in instituting. It has been the fashion, perhaps too indiscriminately, t.) heap blame upon the heads of those who are themselves engaged in carrying on the operations in the Crimea ; and I say t 3 those who may think that this is deserved, that there are others besides those who have bean engaged in those operations—that there are others besides these whose business it is to minister to the wants of our army who are to blame for these transactions. It is better upon these subjects always to speak plainly the whole truth, however unpalateable it may be—hear, hear) — and therefore I say that many of those who have been the most forward to decry what has been done, and to censure those who have been charged with its execution , have been apt to f orge t h ow much may be their own share of that blame which ought to be ascribed to those through whose errors of these evils have unfortunately happened. Re collect that in time of peace this country has always been most jealous of the existence of a standing array. We have had in this country, in proportion to our wealth, our power, our population, and the extent of our em pire, perhaps, the smallest army of any European State ; and, small as it was, it was always looked upon with jealous eyes, and any augmentation of its strength watched with the utmost vigilance, and generally, if pos sible, prevented. W e h ave h a d the army so used and so distributed that it was not likely, at the commencement of a war, that it should be perfect for all the purposes of warfare. I have explained this elsewhere, but I will now repeat what I have previously said, because I think the truth ought to be understood ; and because, likewise, the word s I use d b e f ore on this subject have been misre presented. I have stated that the English army ought to be as good as any army in the world. (A. Voice— "So it is.") I will explain to that gentleman, if he will allow me, why ours is as good as any other army in the world, and why, in soma respects , it is not so. I may say, to arse a str ong ex p ress i on , that in time of peace we have had no such thing as an English army. We have had English regiments. Those regiments were scattered over different parts of the globe, and stationed in diffe rent parts of the United Kingdom. Nay, more, in Ire land those regiment s have been positively broken up into companies, and even into detachments of companies. You use the army in Ireland for the purpose of hunting out stills of illicit whisky, and of collecting the taxes— you use it in Ireland not as an army, in fact, but as a police force. When I say that our soldiers are as capable as any organised army in the world, I mean that they do that in which they have been practised better than any other army in existence. What I mean is, that the re gimental system—(interruption, and a Voice, " It is all the fault of the Ministers.") Well, if the gentleman will allow me to say what I have to offer, I will be happy to hear him in reply. I say that the English army is corn posed of regiments—that those regiments are thoroughly masters of their duty—that the regimental system of the English army is as near to perfection (if I may use that word in reference to any human institution) as any army possibly can be ; and throughout the last campaign you will have seen that the regimental officers have in variably done their duty well, and that there has been no instance of error er failure on their part ; bat what they want, and what they do not practise in time of peace, is that organisation adapted for large masses of men collected together. This you never have in Eng land. Now, I wish yon to understand me here. I say that in every other country in the world an army is a collection of regiments, and other countries know how to move, to feed, sad to organise large masses of men. In England, on the other hand, this is never the case until the time of actual warfare arrives, and then you expect men both to learn their duty and to execute it at one and the same time. I have said that we must use every effort to repair the errors which have been com mitted, to apply the needful remedy, to guard against the repetition of past mistakes, and so to strengthen and maintain our army as that ultimately we may feel a moral certainty of eII • JCOSS. The object of all war, in my opinion, is peace, because you seek by war to get rid of those difficulties which interpose to make the pre-exist ing state of peace insecure or even impossible. And recollect therefore that the object of war being peace, those who are the most anxious for peace should contri bute the most readily every effort they can to forward the vigorous and active prosecution of the present struggle. I say that I look to its termination in peace —when, it is impossible for man to tell. You are aware that the Government have sleputed ono of the most eminent statesmen of the present day to proceed on a mission to negotiate—that is, if negotiations be honestly and fairly conducted, then he is to negotiate for a peace that may be honourable to England and durable for the whole world. There is no doubt that it there be any country in Christendom which has an interest in peace it is England. Her vastly extended commercial rela tions with all parts of the world—and among other rea sons I may also add the strong religious feeling of her people—make England pre-eminent among the nations of Europe as a friend of peace. We hare, however, entered upon a war, reluctantly it may he, but from a sense that the peace of Europe was threatened by a State which, if not resisted now , might be too powerful for ou r r es i s t ance h erea ft er . We embarked in the contest from no selfish or exclusive motive, because every European object was an English object likewise. Our cause is not the cause of England alone, but the cause of Europe, and, I may almost say, that of the world. Therefore, in concluding this conflict, we must conclude it upon terms which will afford solid ground for the expectation that peace shall net again he lightly disturbed. I think that the Government of Lord Pal m. "dna has done wisely in sending a statesman of the A r e s-dor; the antecedents, the reputation, and known " no ut of Lord John Russell to ascertain whether or upon thou, 6 tit " ha% arrived when we can have peace made sary and hulls conditions which we consider to be feces honourable renumble to secure a durable, as well as naci ee44„o2 Gentlemen into question s of • entlemen, I will not enter eos eeeti moment overshadowed c policy. They are for the impotzthe minds of all men by the great and stirring the less touch upon thers,ts of events abroad. I need ever since I first en andd public life I have repre e ck at Z are I:: ;. u e t one constituency, you therefore know what prineinpleaveteasures that I which I ad have advocated and what the hear.) I have always felt inte resthere. (Hear, deeelopement of the social am m ".. t ri in the I have ever advocated aef . e: nal com fort of the people. liberty. I hold eh e "NOY the progress of religious I" opinions still. I have had an experience, might almost say, beyond my years , because you sent rae I to Parliament a very young ma n, than most men wh o enter younger that assembly but every year that has passed over my head has served only to conv i nce me of the truth and soundness of the principles I h av e supported, and to strengthen me in my determ in ation to persevere in their advocacy to the last. (Cheer s. ) Gentlemen, I Lord have again accepted o ffi ce, feeling that was Palmer ston was entitled to ask from me, and t hat bound to g i ve hi m , w h atever h u mble services it is in my power to ren d er . I h ave therefore entered his Administration as Secretary of State for the Colonie s'; and I mast say, un di sgu i se dly a nd unaffected l y, that I feel the full weight of the responsibility attaching to the man who undertakes an office so important, and who is charged, not with the government of the colonies I am glad to say, because England has now grown wise enough to know that she cannot, at a distance of thou rands of miles, pretend to govern countries fit to govern themselves, but with the task of aiding, in the first place, to regn'ate the intercourse between the mother country sad her colonial children; and, above all, of assisting in promoting the development of the material, moral, and religious progr ess of those great dependencies, which will perkaps be the foundations in after times of mighty empires, antrish* hLc will spread oyer the globe the tp,di- , THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, '1855, tions of England, and carry to the remotest regions those institutions of tempered liberty and free religion—that love of order combined with freedom, which are such distinguishing marks of the parent state. I believe that through the agency of those colonies and their rapid and growing intelligence and wealth we shall see diffused over the world English institutions and the English language. I feel, as I have already said, the heavy responsibility imposed upon me, but its weight is lightened by the wise administration of my predecessors, who have fostered and encouraged the growth of self-government in our co lonial possessions—who have ceased to carry on the sys tem by which this country attempted to prescribe arbi trary restrictions, and which was met in the colonies by angry crimination and resistance until the relations be tween the mother and child were anything but those which ought to exist in a family. But those times, I trust, are gone by ; and we have seen by the experiment already made how capable Englishmen are, in whatever clime they may live, to exercise those rights which they are accustomed to enjoy at home—the rights of self government, which are the best preservatives of order as well as of liberty. (Hear.) I will not detain you longer, gentlemen ; I will only thank you most heartily for this repetition of your confidence. I have now spent some years in your service and in that of the public. I have felt that in England—in a country where we are all free citizens, and where service is honour—it is the Jetty of all men who have leisure, and the means of doieg so, not to spend that leisure in luxurious ease, but to con tribute so far as in them lies to the conduct of public affairs. (Hear, hear.) I have felt from the beginning that it was my duty thus to act. I have e ndeavoured humbly, but industriously and assiduously, to fulfil the duties that seem to me to appertain to the station to which God has been pleased to call me. This I may have done—as sometimes, indeed. I know I have—in a manner that was disapproved by some of you who dif fered with me in opinion, but who, nererthless, did net feel the less respect for me or for my opinions, because, in spite of that difference, and at the risk of popularity, I advocated what I believed to be for the benefit of the empire at large, rather than what they considered to be for the interests of a particular class. That con troversy, however, is now happily at an end. I believe that we are all now pretty nearly ef one mir -1 or that ' eeteSeet ; but I feel that I owe L., tial °en whether they I.ra Agreed or disagreed with me, my gra titude for the manner in which those who have differed from me have tolerated me, and those who have agreed with me have supported me, in the advocacy of my opinions. I have only therefore to express my cordial thanks, and to add, that I believe, it we are not faint hearted under difficulties—if we evoke every energy, and put forth every effort to which this mighty empire is equal, that we have before us the prospect of ultimate triumph, and, founded upon that triumph, the restora tion of a lasting peace, which is necessary not only for the prosperity of England, but for the happiness of the whole human race. (Loud cheers, amidst which the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat.) Some confusion then ensued, during which a smart fire of interrogatories was kept up. Among these were —" What about the green coffee berries served to the soldier " Where is our army ?" "What did the Times say of you yesterday ?" " Why did he' spare Odessa ?" and the like. No notice was, however, taken of the querists. 2,fr. HERBERT availed himself of the first lull to pro pose a vote of thanks to the. High Sheriff for his impar tial conduct in the chair ' • and the motion was agreed to amid general cheers and faint hisses. A second volley of ejaculatory questions from the same quarter as before, comprising, " Who starved the soldiers ?" and "Let 'he' go to the war himself," &c., then followed, but was attended with as little result as its predecessor ; and the proceedings, which occupied ittle more than half an hour, terminated. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE COMMAND OF THE BALTIC FLEET. ( From the Morning Herald.) Whilst the navy has been on the tiptoe of expectation that, as a matter of birthright, or, rather, of invariable routine, the senior naval Lord of the Admiralty, Rear- Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., would be appointed to the chief command of the Baltic fleet for 1855, vice Sir Charles Napier of 1854, the appointment of the second senior naval member of the Board of Admiralty will be received with much surprise, and the selection of the Cabinet will be looked upon as the least expected. Nevertheless, if we pick the flag list we cannot place our finger upon an officer combining more excellent qualities than the one selected possesses, judging from his services in time of peace. In the present state of public feeling in the appoint ment of superior officers to conduct the war the Cabinet naturally looked to the selection of the youngest of the qualified men for the service. There could be no doubt as to Admiral Berkeley's nerve, activity, gallantry, and ambition ; for all or most of his services have been ren dered during war, from the time of the Duke of Welling ton's recommendation of him to the command of the Thunderer, 84, at Acre. It was impossible that his claims could be rejected on the score of age, for he is younger than Sir Edmund Lyons, who has diplematised himself into the command of the Black Sea fleet, after 25 years rusting ashore ; and, as to routine, for his long service in subordinate positions, at successive Boards ef Admiralty, and his later experience as chief naval member of the board, there could be no question as to his capability and fitness for the post to which he natu rally aspired. But to take Admiral Berkeley from his present sphere-from his direction of the affairs of man ning the navy-from his connection with the Surveyor of the Navy in adapting the materiel as well as the per sonnel of the navy to the desired objects of the war, would be to impair the efficiency of the service at a time when a moment's cessation fro.n the continuous labours providing for the forthcoming campaign in the Baltic and Black Sea it would be rious-in fact, Admiral Tlerktl- J. like Walker, has been compelled by press o . sacrifice his ambition, and the highest hopes and the greatest prize for which the most distinguished admiral, as captain of the fleet * should laudably contend, to the patriotic requirements of the country. Thus it is that the second nav;.l member of the Ad miralty has been selected, and there is little doubt that in this selection we have the best person in the flag list that could be hit upon. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Richard Saunders Dundas, C. 8., is the son of the late and bro ther to the present General Lord Melville, and the fol lowing is the published epitome of his services :- " The Hon, Richard Saunders Dundas, born April 11, 1802, is second son of Viscount Melville, K.T., for many years First Lord of the Admiralty, by Anne, daughter and co-heir of Richard Huck Saunders, Esq , M.D., and grand-niece and co-heir of Admiral Sir Charles Saunders, K. 8., who died Dee. 3, 1775. He is brother of the Hon. Henry Dundas, C. 8., lieut.-col. 60th Rifles, and of the Hon. Robert Dundas, storekeeper gene ral of the navy. He entered the Royal Naval College in 1815, and embarked June 15, 1817, as a volunteer, on board the Gar.ymede, 26, and afterwards as midshipman of the Owen Glendower, 42, on the Mediterranean and South American stations. Ye then successively joined the Creole, 42, and Superb, 78, and Icarus, sloops, the Glasgow, 50, in the capacity of lieutenant, to which rank he was promoted June 18, 1821. His appoint ments appear to have been-Dec. 24, 1821, to the Active, 46, and, Feb. 25 and Sept. 6, 1822, to the Owen Glendower, 42, and Sparrowhawk, 18. He was ad vanced to the command, June 23, 1823, of the latter, vessel, on the Halifax station, where, and in the Medi terranean, he served until posted, July 17, 1824. We subsequently find Capt. Dundas appointed, Sept. 13, 1825, to the Volage, 28, fitting for South America ; March 12, 1827, to the Warspite, 76, in which ship (the first of her class that ever circumnavigated the globe) he returned to England, from New South Wales, in Octo ber following ; Nov. 20, 1830, to the Belvidera, 42, successively employed in the Mediterranean and off Oporto, whence he came home and was paid off in Dec. 1833 ; stud Sept. 1, 1837, to the Melville, 72. In that ship he afterwards bore a part in the opening scenes of the campaign in China. While there he obtained the best thanks of Sir Gordon Bremer for his conduct at the capture of Ty-cock-tow, Jan. 7, 1841, was present with her Majesty's plenipotentiary at a formal meeting which was held with the Chinese commissioner on the 26th of the same month, and on the 26th of the ensuing Febru ary took up his position in the most gallant style in the action which preceded the capture of the forts at the Boeca Tigris. He paid the Melville off at the end of 1841." Subsequently he became private secretary to the Earl of Harldington, as First Lord of the Admiralty ; then he commanded the Powerful, 84, in the Mediterranean ; and under Sir Wm. Parker had charge of a squadron. Af terwards he was appointed superintendent of Deptford Dock andVictualliug-yard, and for the last fewyears he has been a member of the Board of Admiralty. The new com mander-in-chief is no popular " fire eater," nor is he a " conceited brag ;" be is a quiet, unaffected, business like Man, but he is at the same time a steady, safe, dis creet, and devoted servant of the Crown. Although be may not have a reputation for glory and enthesiasm ' lie is a strict duty officer, and would be the last man to dis obey such orders as were sent to Sir C. Napier, despite of any circumstances. He is regarded as of a cold dis position, but his uprightness and justice are unimpeach able ; and if he has not insured in his career a host of impulsive retainers and hot-headed followers, yet any one who has sailed with him or has been associated with him, knows full well that good character and ability have always found in him a sincere advocate for promotion and preferment. He is independent in feeling, position, and action, and it may be said that if those who know him well do pot expect from him daring and startling en terprise, they feel confidence in his cool determination to maintain the honour of the British flag at any cost, in his sound judgment to take the earliest and best means of carrying oat the wishes of the Government, and in devoting his best and ablest energies to accomplish the task imposed upon him, with the least possible loss and the surest success. Rear-Admiral Dundas is the youngest of his stand ing on the flag list. He is in the 54th year of his age ; and whilst there is not a man in the navy an enemy to his good fortune, or one who will be jealous of his position, we may say safely say he has the highest re spect and esteem of all classes connected with that service, of which he is one of its most dignified and re spected, if not one of its most distinguished, members. Rear-Admiral Michael Seymour, superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, and captain of the fleet last year, has been appointed (as we anticipated) second in com mand of the Baltic fleet. Last year this thoroughly gentleman-like and highly-gallant officer was miserably cramped in his sphere of office. In the forthcoming expedition he will have an opportunity of displaying those qualities as a great naval commander which he has hitherto had no opportunity of exhibiting. It is said of this officer that when in the Baltic last year, Sir Charles Napier, informing him of his orders to attack Sweaborg, asked him what he would do were he placed in the position of commander-in-chief, and had received such directions. Admiral Seymour replied, that if he had only half a dozen frigates left in his squadron, he would certainly obey the orders. The third in command is Rear-Admiral Baynes,C.D., just promoted, on the death ef Admiral B. Hodgson. This officer is about 54 years of age. He had served afloat about 24 years. He was commander of the A sia, 84, flag-ship at Navarino, and has since commanded the Andromache, 24, at the Cape, and the Bellerophon, 78, in the Mediterranean. He is the brother-in-law of Lord Denman, The captain of the Baltic fleet will be Captain the lion. F. T. Pelham, of the Exmouth, 90. This officer will be remembered as the captain of the Odin, 16, paddle ; then private secretary to the Duke of North umberland, when First Lord of the Admiralty ; and last year as captain of the Blenheim, 60, screw, in the Baltic. The flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief will, of course, be the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw. Capt. Caldwell (1853), who was promoted frora this ship, will be the flag captain. Capt. W. K. Hall, of the Bulldog, I, paddle, in the Baltic last year, it is said will be Rear-Admiral Sey mour's flag captain. THE ADMIRAL'S SERVICE PENSION. The service pension of 1501. per annum, which lapsed by the death of Admiral Hodgson, has been conferred on Vice-Admiral of the Blue William Fitzallan Owen, who consequently retires from the active list. Thug officer, brother of the late Sir Edward Owen, we believe counts more active service afloat than any other living flag officer. There is no officer more deserving an additional pecuniary acknowledgment for services than the vener able acceptor of the distinction awarded to him. Most briefly we may state that the gallant admiral was midship man of the Culloden in Howe's action, and in the Ruby at the capture of the Dutch squadron in Saldanha Bay, in 1796 ; lieutenant commanding Seaflower at the destruc tion of Dutch shipping in Batavia roads, in 1806 ; and commander of Barracouta at the capture of Java, and in close engagement with the enemy's gun-boats and artillery ; and served on shore at the capture of Batavia, in 1811 ; captain of Cornelia, and with a squadron under his orders took the island of Palembang, in 1812 ; has conducted important surveys on the lakes of Canada and coasts of Asia and Africa, from Cape Comorin along the coasts of Surat and Malabar, the whole sea coast of Persia and Arabia, east side of Africa, including the Seychelles, &c., and the Atlantic shore! of that conti nent to the Gambia. We learn from Plymouth that the Nankin, 50, Capt. the Hon. Keith Stewart, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth at twe o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Sprightly, steam tender, Master-Commander Allen, returned to Portsmouth yesterday from Plymouth with supernumeraries. At the same port (Portsmouth) the Centaur, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Clifford, hauled out of the factory basin into the fitting basin to be masted and rigged ; the Arro gant, 46, Captain Yelverton, got steam up yesterday to p i r in,L o et e ttat h hi e ei r c engines, and went alongside the coaling dep o t to fill in ; the Edi n b urg b, 60, C a pt a i n H ow l et t , w ill go into the st eam -b as i n t o - morrow t o commence h er ref i t ; ie the Oberon p a ddl e steam - vesse l h as b een commissioned byl Lieut.

Yesterday the screw steamer Hecla left Gravesend with railway plant and a party of experienced divers for Balaklava. _ Her Majesty's steam-sloop Phoenix, fitting at Wool wich, has been commissioned by Commander Montagu Hay, late of the Champion. Her destination is the White Sea. The screw steamer Hollander has been taken up by the Admiralty to convey stores to the Crimea. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD. The greatest activity prevails at the dockyard at Pem broke, awl all the works are being pushed forward with vigour. Several large men-of-war will be launched this summer, but the programme of the vessels required has not yet been settled. The launch of the Royal yacht has liberated a large number of meo, who are now vigorously engaged on the other vessels. The various defences down the haven are, as soon as completed, to be garrisoned with detachments of the Royal Artillery. It is said that the County Artillery Militia will ultimately be engaged in this duty. B.A N K .R ETUIt N 8.

A very full meeting of this society was held on Mon day evening ; Rear-Admiral Beechey, F.R.S., &c., in the chair. The papers read were : 1. On the Sources of the Purus, a great Tributary of the Amazon. lity Mr. Clement R. Markham, F.R.G.S. 2. "yßeport on the Arrival of the Chadda Expedition, under Dr. Baikie, R.N. ;" communicated by the Earl of Clarendon. The general results of the expedition are :-1. 250 miles of new river examined, and the identity of the Chadda and Binue established. 2. The navigability of the river during the rainy season ascer tained. 3. Several new tribes discovered, the friendly disposition of the natives proved, and the resources of the countries inquired into. 4. Positions of former charts corrected, and new places laid down from nu merous astronomical observations. 5. Materials for a complete chart of the rivers have been collected, and also for a map of the surrounding regions. 6. Much in formation has been gathered concerning the various countries visited, and the periods of rise and fall of the rivers accurately noted. 7. The general_ desire of the natives to open trade and to receive instruction has been ascertained. 8. The existence and extent of slavery have been examined. 9. A. favourable report can be made of the climate, as little sickness showed k itself, and not a single life was lost. The Plelad en tered from the sea en the 12th of July, and visiting among other places, Abo and Idda reached the con fluence on the 4th of August, and on the 18th the town of Dagbo, the furthest point of Allen and Oldfield in 1833. After thi , , the principal countries reached were Mitshi, Kororofa, and some Filata pro►inces, and also a very barbarous race named Baibai. The expedition commenced the descent on the 30th of September, with a falling river, and arrived again at Fernando Po on the 7th of November, after an absence of four months, of which 118 days were spent in the Kwora and Chadda. 3. Accounts from the Central African Mission, by Dr. Vogel : communicated by the Earl of Clarendon. From Dr. Vogel's paper it was understood that while Dr. Barth was to have started from Timbuctoo to pro ceed via Sokoto, to meet Dr. Baikie and the Chadda ex pedition, Dr. Vogel, with the Sappers and Miners, was to have proceeded from Kuka in the month of Juno for the same purpose, but nothing bad been heard of them by Dr. Baikie. After some observations from Sir George Seymour, Mr. M'Gregor Laird, Mr. Galton, Captain Oswell, and Mr. Anderson, the meeting adjourned to the 26th instant. SOCIETY OP ARTS.-DECIMAL COINAGE. At the usual weekly meeting of the Society of Arte, held on Wednesday night, at their rooms, John-street, Adelpki, and presided over by the Astronomer Royal, the expedi ency of decimalising the currency of this country, and the relative merits of the poind sterling, of the florin, and of the penny, as units of account, were taken into considera tion. Mr. J. A. FRANKLIN, assuming that the irregular ani capricious modes in which Engflsh moneys, weights, and measures were reckoned were needless and painfully per plexing, glanced at the history of the efforts which had been made to remedy there, and proceeded to observe that all schemes heretofore propounded for decimalising English money belonged to one or other of two categories, one which retained the pound, and the other which retained the penny. The two coins were, from their relation to each other, irre concilable under any decimal system, and it was necessary that one should give way to the other. Those who advo cated the retention of the penny proposed either to decima lise it upwards to 10 pence, 100 pence, &c., or to adopt the tenpenny snit decimalised downward to the penny and the 10th of a penny; or, again, to take the farthing as the unit, decimalising npwardb to 10 farthings, 2id. ' • 100 farthing, 2s. Id. ; 1,000 farthings 11. Os. 10d. The objections to these propositions were that, whether the tenpenny or the penny were the unit, there at present existed no coin that could be represented by units in the next rank below the penny ; and that, when the farthing was need, every ex isting coin retained its value undisturbed, but nothing but the farthing retained its value in accountancy, while this adoption would be attended by the necessity of calling in all the gold coinage of the realm. Those who advocated the retention of the penny did so on account of its anti quity, and of its being the coin most in use among the poor ; but the first penny had been coined in Birmingham in 1797, and the copper tokens which had been previously in circulation varied in their relation to the pound of sil ver; and, as regarded its being the standard of petty traf fic, it only was because it was the one material point round which, as a neclens, such things as the penny roll and the pennyworth of apples, &c., ranged themselves ; and any other small coin would easily serve the same purpose. In Ireland the tenpenny had for some time existed, but the people never made it a unit of account, simply because there had been no coin in circulation there which held the value of 10 tenpennies. Mr. Franklin Went on to &tow the folly of expecting a universal standard of coins, weights, and measures ; took a review of the state of the coinage in the United States of America, and in the several countries of Europe, aid of the present condition of the bullion market ; and concluded his able paper by strongly recom mending the pound sterling as the unit of account. Mr. MENANI next read his paper on the propriety of re taining the penny, as the adoption of the pound sterling would require the creation of coins which he considered incommensurable with the copper eurrency now in use; and showed by ordinary arithmetical sums, that in the cost of commodities calculated in rails, on the table of equivalents of Professor Do Morgan, there would be an ex cess of price above value, while by calculations on the equivalents of Sir John Bewring's tables there would be a deficiency of price below value. Mr. RiAD /text road a paper, in which he pointed out the advantages, not of decimal coinage, but of decimal ac counts, conducted in florins and pence oily. Several gentlemen, including Mr. Miller, of the Bank of England ; Mr. Riley; Mr. 'Tellico°, the actuary; Mr. Wm. Browne, M.P., and Mr. R. R. Moore, gave the meet ing the advantage of their opinions on the subject, all of which were in favour of the adoption of the pound sterling as the unit of account. The thanks of the society were then voted to the three gentlemen who had read the papers, and th e p rocee di ngs mated in the usual manner. act as president, at prat week einar MEETING.—For three days in the celebrity and betwe ,at which Lord Lyttelton is to p l ayers at Leamington act there will be a grand meeting of chess come of, and the whloafaf:atches between players of will no donbt excite much provincial cluos will eiaenrnntiitaili7ostdte:rynceirn:nranittee offer handsome pinrtizeersestto. winnersL contests.

STABBING BY A MILITIAILIN.—ScarceIy had the ex citement naturally caused by the case of stabbing by a militiaman died away, ere we are again called upon to announce a similar but mere diabolical attack by another of a militia body upon a civilian. The facts of the case will be found embodied in the following state ment of the maimed man, taken before W. James, Esq., one of our city magistrates, on Monday last. We may, however, first state that the prisoner, Corporal Chad wick, was brought up before the magistrates, at the Guildhall, en Monday morning, and having been placed in the dock, was charged with having maliciously stabbed with a bayonet, on the night of Saturday last, at the Grapes Tavern, Evan Lewis, the ostler at that inn, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Su perintendent Adams deposed—Yesterday, about 2 o'clock I received th e p r i soner f rom the custody of the adjutant of the Hereford Militia who considers the charge against him of too serious a ch ' aracter to be dealt with by the military body. I saw the persea who had been stabbed last night, when he seemed to be going oa very well. I went again this morning, and found that a change had taken place for the worse. Subsequent to ray visit, how ever, I had received the following medical certilicate from Dr. Bull :—" I hereby certify that Evan Lewis, ostler at the Grapes, who was stabbed with a bayonet, on Saturday night, is not so well this morning. Symp• toms of inflammation have appeared, and the poor man is in considerable danger." The Mayor remarked that this eowardly act of stabbing was not, he was sorry t 3 say, the first that had been .committed in this city. In consequence of the prosecuter being unable to attend, the prisoner would be remanded to that day week. Subsequently it was thought necessary for a magistrate to attend at the Grapes, where the poor fellow is lying, and receive his deposition, as follows :—Evan Lewis, on being sworn, said—" I am brewer and ostler at the Grapes Tavern in this city. I know the prisoner and recollect seeing him with many other persons is the Grapes kitchen on Saturday night about ten o'clock. At that time there was a fight in the kitchen. The prisoner's father was there, and was engaged in the row. I pushed his father away for the purpose of restoring peace, and upon turning round raw the prisoner, who then drew his bayonet and stabbed me on the left side of my bowels. I felt the bayonet penetrate my bowels. I afterwards went into the parlour, whither I was immediately fol lowed by the prisoner, his father, and two other men, all of whom set upon me and assaulted me there. At that time the picquet arrived, and the prisoner attempted to make his escape. I did not see him afterwards.
