The Secretary to the Admiralty last evening, according to arrangement, brought forward the Naval Estimates. And to-night the Prime Minister will move that the Order which was carried in the House of Commons, on the sth instant, by a sur prise, which unexpectedly placed the Government at that sitting in a minority of four, be discharged. The Order, that is, for the appointment of a select committee to consider the present system of pro motion and retirement in the Royal Navy, as well as the present pay and position of the several classes of naval officers, to the end that the changes that might then be considered desirable as the result of such an investigation, might be decided upon with a view to the increased efficiency of the Naval Service generally. From the words of the Premier's Notice of Motion for this evening it will be. seen, that there is appended to this proposal of Lore; PALMERSTON'S that the order referred to be discharged, the suggestion explicitly defined in the following terms :—" That it be an instruction to the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the constitution of the Board of Admiralty, and the various duties devolving thereon, also as to the gene ral effect of such a system on the Navy, to con sider the present system of Promotion and Retirement in the Royal Navy, and to report their opinion thereon." So that Lord PAL- M ERSTON'S proposition is simply this that the responsibility which it was originally proposed should be placed in the hands of the Select Committee of Inquiry appointed for the purpose in this matter of our naval system of promotion and retirement, should be de volved upon that other and more comprehensive committee deputed to examine into the whole constitution of the Board of Admiralty : with a view, that is, to its thorough reform, and, if need be, and as in all probability will be the case, with a view, in like manner, to its com plete reconstruction. By this ingenious proposal of Lord PALMERSTON'S a little difficulty will be agreeably got over—the Ministry will be consoled for the temporary vexation of having been startled into that annoying little mi nority of four, the interests of the naval officers will, at the same time, be duly cared for, while the whole structure of the Admiralty administration will be brought under the consideration at once, and as it were simultaneously. This after-thought we cannot in any way regret, upon calm consideration. Dis passionately regarded, it appears to us in many respects, eminently judicious. That the First Lord of the Treasury will, as a matter of course, carry his motion this evening, there cannot remain a moment's doubt —and when carried, the object of the Select Com mittee of Inquiry, thus apparently set aside so very cavalierly, may be readily enough realised by the more daring Committee appointed to investigate the entire constitution of the Board of Admiralty, to the end that its formal and elaborated recon struction may be accomplished. Meanwhile, the Naval Estimates are being passed without any serious effort being made, after all even (except in words) by Mr. LINDSAY, any very'determined effort at reducing, below the Ministerial standard, the current years' expendi ture upon the maritime department. Altogether these es timates, it will be seen, from Lord CLARENCE PAGET'S sufficient lucid explanation last evening, amount to the good round sum total of £12,029,475. A gigantic sum, compared with - what the usual estimates hate been during the maj or i ty of the years of peace last passed—yet actually no less than the best part of a million ,sterling (to be plain, exactly £806,025) below what the usual estimates were last twelvemonth. Yet, as the noble lord the Admiralty Secretarytakes occasion himself to remark in the course of his speech yesterday, the act ual decrease upon the present year is less by more than £200,000 than the apparent decrease—X2oB,ooo having been down in the naval estimates for 1861 a a sort of exceptional expenditure or kind of increase extraordinary. So that the exact amount of the actual decrease upon the current year in our maritime expenditure will be as nearly as pcssible £600,000 in all—to put it very accurately, it will be precisely £598,625. At any rate, more than half a million sterling !—this decrease in the year's expenditure being accomplished, moreover, with out any perceptible detriment to the efficiency of the public service ; although, as Lord CLARENCE acknowledges, it is brought about by means of a diminution in the expense of the number of men and their victualling, as well as in the vote for wages to artificers, simultaneously with a positive and appreciable increase in the vote to be asked for in the way of stores for the marine department. At the same time, however, that there will be a decrease, upon close in vestigation, in the aggregate number of men, the number proposed by the new estimates will fall but very little short of a total of 80,000. Last year certainly the total asked for and granted in Committee of Supply was— in anticipation of the Chinese war—as many as 85,000. Whereas this year—including boys, coast guard, and marines—there are no more than 78,200 demanded under these new and revised estimates. Showing a seeming reduction absolutely of 7,300, when compared with the total required (and allowed!!) a twelvemonth since. It has to be borne in mind, however; that 3,900 less than the stipulated aggregate of 85,000 men were found to be necessary after last year's estimates had passed through Com mittee of Supply—the service of 81,100, out of the 85,000 originally decided upon as requisite, having fallen within the scope of our naval re quirements. So that here again the actual decrease is considerably less than the apparent-2,900 instead of 7,300 being the exact amount of the diminution upon the present year as compared with the last twelvemonth. A diminution not so very surprising under the circumstances either, seeing that the Chinese war, then a thing of the future, is now a thing of the past—was then to be looked forward to in a purely monetary point of view with considc rable anxiety, is now to be looked back at only with a sense of satisfaction. Restricting our remarks to• day upon these newly arranged and carefully revised naval estimates to their analysis, we may here yet further observe that while due regard is paid to the national solici tude for all reasonable thrift and economy the interests of the service are not in any way appre ciably militated against by any overweening and irrational eagerness for a diminished expendi ture. The Naval Reserve so often talked of as mustering, so very frequently and so very reasonably insisted upon as requisite, appears to be at length so far progressing satis factorily that it will be speedily, it is expected, have numbered up seven thousand men in all, a reserve for which there will be asked a vote, which we may rest assured will be grudged by no rational member present in committee of supply. Including the Marines and the Naval Coast Guard Volunteers, who are also increasing, the total number of the reserve, will be found to have expanded from the nucleus of 7,000 already particularised as the aggregate of the Reserve Proper, to a goodly body of 25,000 men skilled, drilled, and temper paratus. The new system now enforced in the way of training boys for the naval service—renders accessible in this manner germs of good seamen ready for the grafting to the number of nearly 10,000. There are now in this way in training, 9,639—an aggregate which, it is estimated, will supply nearly 3,000 (exactly 2,900) to the Royal Navy annually. In stating that all the nations of Europe are increasing their navies, Lord CLARENCE called the especial attention of the committee to the fact that France has 37 line- of-battle ships, 39 frigates, and, with others 267 vessels afloat and 61 building ; Russia, 9 line-' of-battle and 17 frigates afloat ; Spain, 2 line-of battle and 12 frigates ; Italy, 1 line-of-battle and 18 frigates—all steamers. France having , besides 2 iron-cased ships, 4 iron-cased fri gates, 4 floating batteries, and 5 iron cased gunboats afloat or building. True it might be true it is, thank Heaven, as it ought to be, that according to Mr. LINDSAY'S exultant declaration last evening, all the navies in the world combined could not compete with the one isolated navy of old England in her superiority as the recognisably and avowedly supreme maritime Power upon the surface of the globe. But the hon. gentle man should have recollected while speaking thus, that this is our naval superiority simply as things are—not as they may be—not as they inevitably will be if we neglect to keep pace with the require ments of the age—now that the navies of all Europe are being so very rapidly and visibly aug mented. Not alone, as above intimated, is France, for example, constructing iron steam vessels of war, but Spain and Russia and Italy are acting vigorously in like manner. Happily we have already afloat, as the nation knows with pro found satisfaction, the Warrior and the Black Prince, while another huge iron cased man-of-war is rapidly advancing towards completion, two other war vessels of second class being meanwhile in actual course of construction. Conscious of which, we are aware, of course, that so far things are as they should be. We are so vividly impressed, indeed, with the force of the truth of this great fact, that we are, above all things, solicitous now in re gard to our Navy, that there should be no pause or hindrance in our advance along the course upon which we have thus resolutely adventured. Hence, our instinctive disinclination to listen to the over anxious cries of Beware! Pause ! Reflect ! Do nothing more until you have gained further experience in the relative advantages of wooden and iron shipbuilding ! addressed to the Committee and through the Com mittee to the Country at large by the hon. gentle man, the member for the Borough of Sunderland. The Northern States have been guilty of a secession quite as foolish as that of the South indeed so far as it goes justifying the Southerners in theirs. By the last advices it appears that the Two Houses had actually passed the MORRILL Tariff Bill, and that it only awaited the signature of the President. If Mr. BUCHANAN wishes, with the least possible amount of blame to punish the North for thwarting him in so many ways, he has but to sign this bill. We fear there can be little doubt he will do so. It must require far more genuine patriotism than he has ever shown to stop the North in its foolish secession from commerce with England—a secession which will hand ever ultimately all our trade to the New Confederation, which will assuredly know how to improve the opportunity. As we have before seen, the Southern President has already learned from his position the necessity of Free-trade to the South, and the mad Tariff of Mr. MORRILL is therefore a declaration at the same time of commercial war with the South and with England. The system of high protective duties, or rather of prohibitory duties, in America is in other respects the most foolish conceivable. Compared with the rest of the population, those engaged in the cotton manufacture in the new England States, and in the iron and hardware manufactures in Pennsylvania , I THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1861. are but a small minority indeed—they reside also chiefly in a few cities. The country districts, and especially the great Western States, can have no interest in protective duties, but rather the reverse. They want a corn market in Europe as much as the South wants a cotton market ; and we must suppose also that New York, Boston, and the great seaports of the Atlantic seaboard especially, cannot view with patience a tariff which deprives them of half their trad e , an d w hi c h w ill ren d er a ll th e i r 1 capital invested in warehouses, docks, and shipping unproductive. With high duties the smuggler also will not fail to take his part in the business; with what unpa ralleled advantages a glance at the map will show. What preventive service, of which the revenue to be collected could bear the cost, would be able to watch the boundary of the Northern Confederation from Chicago, on Lake Michigan, all along the Lakes, the St. Lawrence, and Canada, then along the Atlantic coast, then again up the Mississippi, and the line from east to west between the New and Old Confederations. The attempt would be an absurdity. It has been unnecessary hitherto because the duties have been such as trade could bear, and the risk would not be compensated by evading them ; but once offer 30, 50, or 100 per cent., and an illicit trade would grow up which no preventive service could even check. The new President was at Washington when the last accounts arrived ; but, if the tales of some of the American papers be true, he has had to flee thither for his life. The telegram version was that his life had . been attempted at Cincinnati by means of an infernal machine. Cincinnati seemed to be far out of the line of his movements at the time. The corrected version is, that it was at Baltimore, in the Slave State of Maryland, where a rather hostile reception had been expected, the plot against his life was hatched. Some of his friends in Wash ington appear to have been convinced that there was serious danger, and to have planned to bring him to Washington, passing by Baltimore alto gether. Old General SCOTT, we are told, decided that either he must reach Washington by evading the danger, or that a military escort must be sent him. What the exact truth of the matter is must be left to time to develope, but certainly the desperate way in which the train which it was sup posed had brought him to Baltimore was besieged by a mob of several thousand blackguards and ruffians lends colour to the belief that there was some design against his life. Unhappily the violence of slave holders in their dealings with each other, as well as with persons suspected of abolition sentiments, makes such a frightful erime, as is said to have been planned, quite credible. If a Southern senator could almost kill his brother senator, Mr. SUMNER, what could be too bad for common slaveholders and their mob to plot against an Anti-Slavery President ? The new President soon found himself in the same position as his predecessors, besieged with expectant candidates for office. We are told that almost every member of Congress thought himself eligible for some post, that it had been under stood that firmness was to be Mr. LINCOLN'S policy, and that hence all of them were displaying their firmness in every debate. Mr. SEWARD is, of course, the acknowledged premier of the Cabinet, but the competition is vigorous between one Mr. CHASE, of Ohio, who is firm for the Chicago platform of no extension of slavery in the territories, though he seems not to object to the restoration of the old Missouri com promise, and a Mr. CAMERON, of Philadelphia, who is quite a compromise man. The PRESIDENT is perplexed, no doubt, by finding, not only so many claimants, but that his party also is itself' so divided. We trust he will give unity to them by a decided rejection of any compromise with slavery. The South has never made any other use of compromises hitherto than that of making them the basis of fresh aggressions on behalf of slaveholding, and it will be so in future. We trust that Mr. LINCOLN will not disappoint the hopes of the civilised world on the great question now at issue in America. As for the new Confederation they begin to find their prospects darker and darker. They are without money, and utterly unable to raise a loan on the Exchange at New York ; by Europe they certainly would not be trusted with a penny, several indeed of the repudiating States belong to the new Confederation. They will for a time, at least, find want of money their chief difficulty. They have plenty of agricultural produce—that is cotton and sugar, but, like other agriculturists, no ready money ; coin is the great want—so much so that as taxes cannot be collected in produce, it seems almost impossible to resort to direct taxation. On the other hand they cannot rely on Customs for much, since it would cut off their chief hope—free trade. How they will overcome the difficulty it is not easy to see. They have men for soldiers in plenty. The idle vagabonds, called " the mean whites," who will not do slaves' work, and who live by roguery, abound everywhere; but where is the money to come from to pay them for soldiering ? Want both of money and credit, and the inherent difficulty of any mode of taxation, seem likely to be the grand perplexity of the South. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.—List evening, after the performance of "Le Domino Noir," Mendelsshon's charming little operetta, christened by the English librettist " Son and Stranger," was given for the first time at this theatre, and with all the success to which its musical merits so justly entitle it. SPECIE FOR INDIA.—SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. —The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Delta, sailing hence to-day, takes out for Bombay 501 boxes of specie, &c , value £160,684, of which £134,540 is bar silver, £20,000 bar gold, £5,000 sovereigns and jewel lery, gold thread, &c., £644. DESERTIONS FROM TIIE NAVY.—A return, moved for by Sir J. Pakington, shows that the desertions from the Royal Navy and Coastguard service afloat were 1,639 sea men and 241 boys in 1858, 1,688 seamen and 185 boys in 18'9, and in the first nine months of 1860 2,162 seamen and 160 boys—in all, 6,075 in two years and three quarters. OLD Sr. PANCRAS CHURCLI.—A staff of surveyors and parish officials were on Saturday engaged inspecting the ground about St. Pancras Old Church, preparatory to laying down plans fur forming a drain and trench for sani tary purposes, in pursuance of an order in council just issued, and a notice has been served on the parishioners, requiring all those persons who have relations or friends interred contiguous to the building, and are desirous of removing the remains, to do so before the Ist of May. PLYMOUTH, March 10.—The fishing boat Sarah Ann, Captain Geering, of Hastings, came in from the Channel this morning with 8,000 mackerel. On Friday, at 2 p.m., 23 miles S.W.•by W. of Start Point, wind westerly, thick - weather, she spoke the ship Sarah Newman, 92 days from Calcutta, and the German 800 tons. There were 20 passengers on deck. Both are bound to London. On Satur day, 30 miles S.W. of the Start, spoke the bark Ecliptic, of London, two days out from Colic, with grain from Val padiso for Hull. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam sloop Bulldog, 6, Commander Henry P. McK illop, from Ireland entered the Sound this afternoon. THE YELVERTON FAMILY.—A correspondent of the Irish Times says :—I think the following facts will be of some interest to the readers of your valuable paper. The father of Barry Yelverton, who is the great•grand tuff e • of Major Yelverton, was a wool-comber at Newmarke', county Cork. The present Lord Avonmore is in receipt ( f a pension of £4,200 a year as Chief Registrar of the Court of Chancery, in addition to £l,OOO a year from another sinecure, as Wine Taster for the province of Cork, or some such place. Those offices were conferred in the year 1800, in consideration of services rendered to the Government in carrying out the Union job. Verily, this is a nice way of supporting the honour and dignity of the Peerage. The family motto, " 1 shall rise again," seems to have been over looked by the gallant expounder of " gentle blood." 3:10.N. BY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days the dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been of a rather restricted character. Prices, however, have shown no particular variation. Tea has con tinued at steady rates, and sugars have been dealt in to a fair extent at former prices. Rice has con tinued dull and at slightly reduced values. Salt petre and tallow have also shown slight depression. P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 595. 9d., April to June, 555. 6d., and 569. for last 3 months' delivery. Bills to the amount of £400,000 are due to-day among the Greeks, and some anxiety is naturally felt to ascertain whether they will be duly met, although the hope is indulged that ample provision has been made for their liquidation. A further sum of about £56,000, in gold, was purchased by the Bank of England yesterday. A meeting has been convened of the shareholders in the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, to receive the accounts and to declare a dividend, and also " for the purpose of authorising the directors to apply to her Majesty's Treasury for permission to issue notes payable on demand at Singapore." A fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday at previous values. The sales were 8,000 bales. There is still a large supply of mercantile bills, and full rates are demended for negotiating them in the general market as well as at the Bank of England. To day an instalment of 20 per cent. became due on the New Indian 5 per Cents. Loan of £3,000,000. Friday next, the 15th inst., has been appointed a special settling day in the shares of the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia (Ist issue), and of the London Chartered Bank of Australia New £2O shares, and transactions in the same are to be re corded in the official list. A very small amount of business has been trans acted in the market for Public Securities to day, and it has consequently presented an exceedingly inactive appearance. The quotations, however, have slightly improved, Consols being 911 for transfer, and 921 for the 18th prox., owing to a few purchases on speculative account, and the slightly easier tone of the money market. The New Threes have been dealt in, by special transfer, at 911 r. India Stock remains at 221; ditto 5 per Cent. at 100 - ; and Bank Stock for account is 2341; Exchequer Bills, 1 2d. per diem, are marked 7s. to 2s. dis. ; ditto 2d. per diem, 4s. dis. to par. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been quiet, and prices generally have been firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 711 to 711; ditto New, 1858, 53 to 53,1 ; Mexican have improved to 24 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 101 ; ditto 21 per Cents. are steady at 631; Portuguese at 461 ; and Bra zilian 41 per Cents. at 851 The dealings in the Railway Share Market have not been extensive, but previous rates have been current for most of the principal undertakings. Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Westerns, have improved os. ; and Eastern Counties, 10s. ; while Great Northerns, Midlands, North Eastern (Berwicks), and South Easterns, have declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have not shown any material variation. Grand Trunk of Canada have improved about 55., and East Indian ss. to 10s. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued very quiet.

Last night Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Winchelsea Tavern, Kennington Park, on the body of Mrs. Caroline Spain, aged 32, who it was al leged had been poisonod by her father-in •law under cir cumstances reported in our yesterday's impression. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death." THE ORANGE RlOTS.—Samuel Tate has been found guilty of manslaughter at the Armagh Assizes. It is the first time since the establishment of the Orange Society that a jury exclusively Protestant has convicted an Orangeman of homicide in a party riot. William Wight was tried for an attempt to murder Charles M'Cann at the same time and place. The latter was examined as a wit ness. The jury, after two hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of acquittal. An asylum for young female convalescents from the Hospital. Ste. Eugenie (Faubourg St.-Antoine) has re cently been established, under the patronage of the Empe ror and Empress, at Fubla:ne, near Meaux en-Brie, in the valley of the Marne. Two hundred and fifty girls, daugh ters of working men, have already been admitted. The establishment is similar to those at Vincennes and Vesinet. A Paris letter in the Independence says :—" M. Dumont, the sculptor, was Rome time ago charged by the Emperor to prepare a model of a statue of Napoleon I. in what is called the heroic (ancient Greek) costume, to be placed on the summit of the column of the Place Vendome, in the room, of the one representing the Emperor in his grey coat and cocked hat which he ordinarily wore. The Emperor lately visited the sttiel io of the artist, settled all the details of the model, and ordered its execution in bronze." The Canon Mallet, who was lately condemned at Douai to six years solitary confinement, for improper conduct to young women, has appealed against his sen tence. _~.-_ SHARE MARKET-(THIS DAY.) -- ~-r ORDINARY .
