Their interests are one, and they seem bent upon showing their belief that such is the case, whereupon it becomes quite clear that there is ter rible jealousy existing in the minds of certain parties lest the people of the two nations should learn more of each other, and give up all future quarrels and war. Thus upon a pro position being made that a certain number of distinguished Frenchmen should be invited to - London to participate in a national festival to celebrate the union between England and France, the Times.preaches abstinence, talks gravely of the disregard of the convenances which would take place should the two nations be dining together in the West, while they are fighting side by side against a common enemy in the East, and recommends that we should dine after victories are achieved, and not before. But the festival, or by whatever more ap propriate name it may be called, was not proposed in order to celebrate the fact that war was being waged, but that a peace of the utmost importance to the salvation of the world existed. France and England do- not dine • together to demonstrate their joy at being opposed to Russia, but to express their delight at the fact of their being united as allies. It is not at all improbable that if one of the temporising Orleauists had been on the throne of France, the two nations might have been merely connected together by conventional arrangements. It is scarcely possible to imagine any Prince of the House of Orleans joining so heartily in his opposition to the great northern missionary of despotism as Louis Bonaparte has done. Had fate left France in the hands of the Orleanists, the destiny of Europe would Lave been entrusted to diplo matists, and Russia would have obtained her ends by this means, as she has heretofore done. The union of England and France preserves Europv, from the disastrous effects of Russian diplomacy. The people of Et.gland and France know this, and they very rightly think that this union is a very proper subject for rejoicing, whether the joy is testified at ietes, festivals, dinners, or breakfasts. The union of Eng land and France for the purpose of saving Europe from be coming Cossack, is one of the events the most pregnant with good consequences to Europe that has happened in the history of the two nations, and it is right to make it a subject of re joicing. Yesterday one of our contemporaries fired a volley of small shot in aid of the attack already made, and again repeated by the heavier ordnance of the Times. Because the word " ban quet" is made use of in the proposition for a national re union, the proposal is 'stigmatised as an intention to inaugu rate the worship and to spread the de;rotion of the great god " Gluttony." " Stewing the fat turtles and immolating heca tombs of kine" is facetiously stigmatised as a poor method of cementing international amity. The proposers of the inten tion to welcome our French friends are cried down as the would-be initiators of a series of " national" orgies. The " national" is placed, it must be most particularly remarked, between inverted commas. The whole animus of the organs of the dynasties peeps out here. Nothing is " national" but that which is inaugurated by Governments. If the Queen had given a 'banquet to a certain set of distinguished guests on the oocasion of the union between England and France that, in the eyes of the flunkies who care nothing about nations, but pin their faith on Governments, would have been all very well. But when honest and respectable • citizens of the greatest commercial city in the world wish to show their hospitality in like manner, the feast in futuro is put down as " a guttling and guzzling of a squad of hardened epicures." " The thing is nothing more real and true than a vulgar piece of Mansion-house sen timentalism." " Is this," we are asked, " a time for listening to the cheers of hiccupping aldermen and the bad grammar of civic speeches I" The bad taste as well as the monstrous unfairness of stigmatising the Corporation of London as drunken gourmands and men ignorant of their own language, is so preposterous that there is no need to advert to it. No thing could have caused such a display but the most vehement fear that the effect of the hospitable meetings between mem bers of the two nations would be to unite them in such a manner as to make it difficult in future to set them at variance. fau T s h k e n a rm tte le m s p sl t y ed to sn t e k e e r l gr ev n e u ll n ed d. at The"co o e r na c i m a l e:c u i n a rta n 0 k p o i n r g a ti . tions of our great towns have been and are the strong holds of our nationality. They are a great feature in the historical life of the nation. They have been the fortresses of English liberty.. They have educated E ng li shmen of successive gene rations to perform all their duties of citizens with a true feeling of their rights and, privileges. It is unworthy of any Englishman to set down members of the se corporations unit ing for the purpose of showing hospitality to distinguished foreigners, as " batches of pussy traders." It may be all very well for Orleanists or members of other bankrupt, dynas ties to dread that union between two great nations which will ensure the peace of the world, and prevent the said dynasties from taking advantage of the opportunity which would be given to them in a general scuffle. It may be all very we ll for such roving royalties to throw dirt upon national demon ss n t i o •a n t l i d o n k s n , for the country. The flunkeyism of the sneers against trade s a p t e enational thins e t s i e t u i n t i s o t n i t b i n u n t s E h ') a g v l i e s h d m o e n n e is a miserable exhibition in a country which has become great, o a w nd an su d ee r i e . rich, and powerful mainly by trade. We have lived long enough to take Napoleon's reproach that we were " a nation of shopkeepers" as something of a compliment. The com merce of the country is one of the great elements of the power of the nation—the commercial men are those who are en trusted with the working of this element—all attempts to frustrate the endeavours made to unite in bonds of amity the French and English representatives of this class must be con sidered as playing into the hands of the enemies of peace.— Daily News.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—This bill passed the House of Lords by the convincing majority of 2, b a house composed of 12 members; and, after successive postponements, its second reading in the House of Commons'has been announced for Monday next. It is calculated to ruin the practitioners in Doctors' Com mons in the following manner. Our contentious business it at once transfers to the solicitors ; and of our common form business it gives one-half to the country proctors, leaving the other half to us for ten years only, as a sort of " loaf and cup of water," to avoid the imputation of starving us outright. It doss indeed allow the London proctors (120 in number) to share, if they can, the future testamentary business with some 10,000 solcitors ; but it is well known, and the evidence given before the Chancery Commission, only last year; estab lished the fact, :hat the proctors obtain their clients at present through the soleiton. It must be obvious, therefore, to any one but the Lord Chancellor that all our business will stop in transitu in the offices of the solicitors themselves, that the bill will make our best clients our keenest rivals, dissolve our past connexiors, laboriously or expensively acquired, and force us to seek new clients through entirely new channels. If, bending to the storm, we ask but for compensation for such losses, we are told we must take the consequences of legislation, and that we can form partnerships with the solici tors. But what fair equivalent can we offer them? They have already got over the " chance of dying of their own too much,"•and in future their clients bringing wills to prove will be intrbduced to some quondam clerk of Doctors' Com mons, as " the gentleman who superintends our testamentary department." ' It is true the Ecclesiastical Courts need extensive reform. Institutions which have existed for centuries with scarcely any alteration must obviously require amendment to adapt them to the changes society has undergone. Our profession should be open to all comers willing to devote themselves to it, leav ing the supply to be regulated wholly by the demand, and the statutory restriction on the business arrangements between proctors and solicitors repealed. Our clerical nomenclature is repugnant to the feelings and honest prejudices of a large pro portion of our fellow-countrymen, and confounds us with a system, with which, with that exception, our testamentary business has no connexion; and our monster sinecure, riveted upon us by Parliament, is both a reproach and injury to us. It is hero that the Chancellor's argument would be just that if, in making these and other needful alterations, the interests of the proctors should be affected, they must yield to those of the public at large ; and I am sure our profession would be willing to rely for recompense for any such losses on the addi tional business the increased efficiency of our courts would obtain for us. To remodel and reconstruct in the practical spirit of English legislation is not, however, the object of the present bill ; but the annihilation, pure and simple, of our testamentary courts. Such a measure is in complete opposition to the whole weight of evidence of the reports of Royal commis sions, and, up.to this session, of committees of both Houses of Parliament ; and the merchants and bankers of London, and seventy of the leading firms of London solicitors; have petitionedrarliament against it. Is it toe much to ask of the promoters of this bill to show some grea; public advantage resulting from such great private injury, aid that our present system of procedure is so rotten, and ourselves so much part and parcel of it, that the benefits of reform must be measured by the amount of ruin which it inflicts won us ? May we not reasonably expect to have our efficiency, as refermed, first tried? The fl oo d ga t es may a t any time, by the simplest act of legislation, be opened to ad mit the solicitors, but when once opened our immediate de . structica is uvetrievable, unless some barrier gradually to mitig,ato that result be first provided. • I nco npetency on our part cannot be averred; for the voluminous evidence before Parliament fully proves our respecubility and efficiency. The real property clauses have been vithdrawn from the bill, and no inconvenience has hither() arisen from the line of demarcation between the jurisdctions of the Courts of Chancery and Doctors' Commons. Questons of validity are entirely different from questions of constuction or distribution ; so are the litigant parties ; and, it would seem, so also the numbers of their counsel, four or six Icing required in Doctors' Commons, and from twenty to thiry even in remodelled Chancery. In expense, also, the dissmilarity is still preserved, the costs in the instance recently quoted in the Times by a Chancery barrister of a com mision to take evidence being, in Doctors' Commons, 71. per dien, in Chancery, 371. per diem. 'he solicitors, besides their Parliamentary, conveyancing, mercantile, and other business, already practise in the com msn law, equity, bankruptcy, insolvency, and criminal courts of the country—studies surely of sufficient magnitude and vaiety to admit of question whether it would be wise to add them those of another whole profession ; for this bill " is tut the prelude to the rµder gale." The Chancellor has already introduced a bill for the transfer of our jurisdiction in causes of marriage and divorce to the Court of Chancery. Our purely ecclesiastical business is very small, and our admiralty busi 3ess, notwithstanding the well-deserved popularity of its pre sent court, must depart from us with the rest, as it will never be tolerated that a court to whose arbitrement nations sub mit their claims should be confined to some dozen practi tioners to which our profession will, then have dwindled. Our bar, too, on which the highest encomiums have been passed, and which has given to the world such men as Sir Leoline Jenkins and Lord Stowell, is to be destroyed with us. It is already a complaint of our jurists that the civil law is not studied as its merits deserve. Is it wise to destroy our only courts which foster it ? We are at the commencement of what may be a long European war. is it wise, at such a time, to disperse the bar and practitioners of our Admiralty Court, upon the consequences of whose decisions may depend the destinies of nations ? It is in evidence before the Chancery Commissioners, that, comparing the number of attorneys with the number of proc- tors and the amount of our testamentary business, an attor ney would be thirty-three years in acquiring as much expe rience as a proctor now does in one year. Will the public Le better served by the former, with so limited an experience, than by the latter, with their constant practice and exclusive devotion to it, and is such a division of labour to be called monopoly ? The remark of Lord Erskine mentioned by Lord Brougham, " You would not surely send a fellow-creature into the Court of Chancery," reminds us all of the estimation in which Chan cery was up to no late period held, and the recent great re forms have not yet been fully tried. If unsuccessful, it were most unwise to extend the jurisdiction of those courts; if successful, those courts will be fully employed. A most fatal error of the bill —as, did space permit me, I could fully prove—is the severance of the contentious from the common form business. Experience in the former is the essential requisite for a due peformance of the latter. The clearly prayed incompetency of the country courts results entirely, 'ls shown by Lord John Russell in the debate on the Ecclesiaslcal Corals Bill of 1844, from the small amount of their contentious business ; and the distinction between the two bratihes will be most difficult to be drawn, but the bill .proposestheir complete separation. Its pi. visions affecting us may be thus summed up :—Our fees, of :curse, must be reduced; our common form business diminised one half, and that secured to us. for ten years only, aed our contentious business taken away altogether. Part ofour business will thus be given to the country proc tors, aready incompetent to discharge it, and likely to con tinue s'—a further part to the solicitors at present ignorant of it, sad incapable as a body of acquiring extensive experi ence ir it. The small remainder left to us will be clearly in suffichut to preserve our efficiency, and we are to be cora pensatid (!) by being admitted as solicitors, i.e., to practise a profession of which we know nothing, in competition with men tloroughly conversant with it. It rally seems to the that a more ingenious process for in suringcompetency by effecting injustice could npt well be devisee. „It was stated in the House of Lords that the title of Mr. Moore b his sinecure was as good as the title of any of the noble lo•ds to their estated. The position of a proctor cannot certainls iu its quality or emoluments be compared with that of a nolle lord, but as regards its quality it may not unfavourably be contrasted with Mr. Moore's. His is not a patent owe, nor does the statute 9 Geo. IV., c. 51, in any way guarattee to him its continuance ; whereas the proctors are securedin their exclusive practice and emoluments by the statute 53 4eo. 111., c. 127, s. 9, which imposes penalties on any participation in their fees or functions. Why, thee, under his of the necessity of so sweeping a rdorm amongst us, are only Mr. Moore's claims to compensatim intelligible to the Lord Chancellor ? Is it because Mr. Moore is, like many of the noble lords, indebted for his title to tie position of his forefathers—or is it because the claims of the proctors, being founded on services rendered, are too subtle los the Lord Chancellor's comprehension ?

THE .RUSSIANISM OF THE TIMES. The Russianism of the Times is often so patent to all, that no one can mistake it; but, for the most part, it is so stu• diously concealed, that those only who thoroughly compre• head the character and conduct of that journal, can detect its latent desire to subserve the interests of the Czar. Illustrations both of the open and covert friendship for the Autocrat have appeared in the columns of our contemporary within the last two days. On Thursday there was a laboured article, to prove that we ought to do nothing at all i❑ the Baltic, but just content ourselves with looking at the, fleet of Russia lying snugly in Cronstadt or Helsingfors. Don't, on any account, was the language of the Times, attack any of the Russian forts in the North seas ; nt.r seek to destroy a single ship of the Russian squadron. If you do, who knows but you may be beaten; and the result be, that the Russian ships will, in a few days thereafter, pay a very unpleasant visit to London, IluTI, Newcastle, Perth, or Aberdeen.. There was something so transparently Russian in this, that every one who read the article of our contemporary felt as if he had been perusing a string of sentences penned by the Czar himself. . The inspiration, if not the very words, doubtless came direct from St. Petersburg. Now just because there exists so intense an anxiety in the Autocratic mind, that no great 'naval demonstration should be made by us in the Baltic, we fondly hope that such 'a demonstration will be made without one hour's unnecessary delay. The Czar knows that a vigorous blow there would he fatal to him, and hence his profound solicitude that it should not be struck. For that very reason it ought to be struck with energy and at once. So much for the latest illustration of the more manifest friendship of our contemporary for Russia. The illustration to which we allude of the leading journal's covert friendship was afforded in the article yesterday, in which it sought to prevent the carrying out of the happy idea of a National Fes tival, having for its object to unite in terms of closer friend ship, the people of France and England All that a miser able attempt at ridicule could do, our contemporary did before to divert from their purpose those gentlemen with whom the idea originated; but they were men who no more heeded the assaults of the Times than they would the idle wind as they passed along the streets. To the infinite mortification of our contemporary, the idea is still in the course of being carried out, and what is more, will be crowned with complete suc cess. And the Russian organ knows full well that it will be so. The article of yesterday was consequently written, not iu the hope of defeating it, but in order to give vent to its spite that it has failed to render service to that country, had Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton's _happy conception been knocked in the head. But, we may probably be asked, how could the Times have rendered a service to the Czar by preventing the advent of the intended Festival? In this way, —the object and tendency of the Festival are, to bring into the bonds of a closer union the two great European nations. And union between France and England is what Russia, of all things, dreads. Her policy is to keep them severed. It is owing to the cordial union which now happily subsists between them, that she has been defeated in all her plans of aggrandisement. Had any alienation between these two countries existed at the present time, the Czar would have been able, in all pro bability, to carry out those purposes of criminal ambition, on which his heart has so long been set. There is, therefore, no object in which the Czar takes a demper interest, than that of putting an end to the subsisting friendship between the two countries. Consequently, any scheme which is in tended and adapted to strengthen and perpetuate the cordial feeling which now exists between them, must be, to the Czar, the object of alarm and detestation. The attack of yesterday on the National Festival, and the effort to hold up to ridicule those with whom the idea origi nated, was one of the lamest articles of the kind which ever appeared in the columns of our contemporary. It was wholly devoid of point. There not only was no justice in it, but there was not even the semblance of justice. It was feebler even than the first. It was written under an evident con sciousness that it would be labour in vain, More than this ; our contemporary virtually, though evidently with great re luctance, admits that the thing is destined to meet with a decided success. "It is clear enough," says the Times, " that, if the popular feeling should run the oilier way, even those who think these festivities the most ill-timed must needs give way, lest their motives should be misinterpreted." This is an admission that not only is" the popular feeling" running the other way—that is to say in favour of the Festival—but that those who haVe hitherto stood aloff from the thing, and thrown cold water ou it, are now about to give in their ad hesion. One of the objections of our contemporary to the project is certainly exceedingly odd. The idea originated, it says, " with a small knot of persons." Have not all the greatest plans and projects of which the world ever heard, had a similar origin ? Would the Times ignore or oppose a scheme, simply because it did not occur to a multitude of persons at once? In that case, we should never have a new project or idea at all. The quality which marks a great idea is, that the moment it is brought before the com munity it strikes the public mind ; and people are amazed that a notion so natural and so excellent, should not have occurred before. That is eminently true of Mr. Under- Sheriff Anderton's project for a grand National Festival, to cement and strengthen the existing friendship between the people of France and England. As soon as the idea was men tioned, we wondered—everybody wondered—that it had not occurred to somebody before. It instantaneously struck the public mind; and there was a general response to it. It was seen and acknowledged, on all hands, that a more felici tous notion never entered the human mind. Subscriptions poured in and so did the names of pe rsons of theho w highest respectability, both in the City and the West-end, wre desirous of giving their sanction to the scheme by being en tered as members of the committee. The Times, in the plenitude of its mortification that an other illustration has been affor ded to England and Europe, of the fact that it has lost the power it once exercised over the public mind, represents the invitation about to be given . to foreigners, as not the invitation of t e pheople. e T i m es k n ows full well that in th is it g rievously and grossly misre presented the facts of the case. It is eminently a rational movement. Go where you will among the people, and you hear the idea spoken of in terms of the highest commenda tion. If here and there you meet with a dissentient, you will find, on inquiry, that the reason of his disapproval is of a personal kind. He is iu some way Cr other, in connection with this project, a disappointed man. Th er e has been a g reat amount of j ealous y imported into the matter. We could, without difficulty, name some dozen persons who have sought to defeat the project, because it originated with others, and they therefore could claim no credit in the business. But in despite of all their efforts, chiefly secret, to defeat Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton's felici tous scheme, that scheme will meet with success. The Ti mes, as we have already remarked, knows this, and thus tries, in the conclusion of its article, to account for that success on other grounds than those of the merits of the project. " As soon," says that journal, " as the project has gone so far, _public men are solicited, and cajoled into a quasi patronage of a project which they may think never so ill-timed, but t hey adopt the necessities of their position and submit. So it works on to its fulfilment, until at length a whole nation is hustled into the adoption of a measure which they do not approve,,simply lest it might be supposed that they are show ing disrespect to those whom they most wish to honour." This is miserable. Surely, no one will expect that we should give a serious answer to such utter twaddle.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. REDUCTION OF QUEEN'S TROOPS IN INDlA.—Several regiments of foot, stationed in different parts of India, have been ordered home. It is understood their services are required in this country to make up for the absence of the levies with the expeditionary army in the East. THE MINISTER OF WAR'S OFFICIAL ItESlDENCE.—Har iugtou-house, in Whitehall-garden., at present occupied by the Tithe and Cupyhold Commissioners, is to be forth with vacated for the accommodation of the newly-appointed Minister of War, the Duke of Newcastle; and the house of the late Duke of Leeds, iu St. James's-square, is to be immediately prepared for the accommodation of the Tithe and Copyhold Commissioners. Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that two more steamers were required to convey troops and stores on special service. Each must be capable of carrying 600 tons, and from 180 to 200 men. The pre ference is to be given to screw steamers. The Lords of the Admiralty reserve the right of retaining these vessels over the period for which they may be engaged for three months. The Kangaroo, hired steam transport, with the troops on board, reported on Thursday, left Spithead yesterday for Varna. The depot of the 34th Infantry, which has been stationed at Leeds for some time, has proceeded to Plymouth, to make room for the 4th West York Militia, who are to assemble at the barracks on Wednesday morning next. A party of officers of the Royal Engineers have been engaged during the present week in visiting the various places where picks, pickaxes, spades, shovels, and other tools for military purposes are manufactured for the use of the army, and in sapping and ruining, and the raising of fieldworks. The 35th Regiment of Foot assembled on the 17th and 28th of June at Chatham, at a quarter before nine o'clock, and were marched to the Royal Engineer stores, where they were supplied with scaling ladders, and proceeded to Chatham lines. Here they were instructed in the best mode of escalading fortifications by Captain Ord, Royal Engineers, under the direction of Colonel Jones, Com mandant and Directo r o f th e R o y a l S appers and Miners Establishment at that station. The men appeared much pleased with their instruction, and performed their duties with great spirit and rapidity. It is supposed the 35th are now undergoing instruction preparatory to the grand attack and siege operations which are to take place on the lines at Chatham about the middle of July. The second division, consisting of two troops, of the 15th (King's) Hussars, left Chatham on Thursday morning last, en route fur Exeter, to join head-quarters. Captain Smyth's company of the Royal Artillery is to be withdrawn from Ireland; Major Harrison's company to proceed from Dublin to the detached posts in Loughs Foyle and Swilly, and the forts on the Lower Shannon, to relieve Captain Hamilton's company ; Captain Hamilton's com pany to be concentrated in field batteries at Limerick, to replace Captain Smyth's Company • Captain Smyth's com pany to proceed to Dublin, to embark for Liverpool for further proceeding to Woolwich. One of the Belfast papers states that the now costume of the British infantry has been hit upon as follows,—a wide or easy-fitting frock coat, " that a soldier might mow in ;" loose trousers, of a dark colour, for all seasons ; a soft elastic stock, and a light low-crowned shako. It is said that the Grenadiers' caps and the Highlanders' plumes are to be totally done away with. So much for the marsh of improvement in the 19th century. In consequence of the receipt of telegraphic instructions from the Admiralty, the Algiers, 91, Captain Talbot, left the Sound by the Eastern Channel yesterday evening. She is 100 men short o f h er comp l emen t , an d i s reported be bound to Spithead, and to go to the Mediterranean to re lieve the flag-ship Britannia, 120, to come home, and turn officers and crew over to the Royal Albert, 131, screw, which will then go to the Black Sea to receive the flag of Admiral Dundas. The repairs of the Avon steamer haying been completed, she sailed yesterday morning in quest of the Russian India nian reported to be iu the Channel. The Merlin, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, brought down to -Woolwich from Deptford yesterday afternoon, is to be brought forward immediately for commission. In anticpation of bringing the enemy to action, Sir Charles Napier has issued throughout his fleet the following general orders, to be carried into effect on the signal to engage being given. Theso regulations were drawn up by Rear-Admiral Chads " 1. The established number of full charge s to be com pleted after exercises with cartridge. " 2. On going to quarters, unless contrary orders are given, full charges are always to be handed up. " 3. The breechings of all broadside guns to be such a length as to come a foot within the port•sills when taut. " 4. Spare and rigger lines fitted with hand toggles to each gun. " 5. A large supply of wads, cut open, and reduced by an inch for expansion, to each gun. " 6. Quoins to be marked and fitted with lanyards, and made fast round the bed-bolt, to keep them from flying out. " 7. Dods bolted and lashed down to the bolts, to pre vent their displacement. "8. Spare tubes, locks, trucks, breechings, and side tackles. " 9. Reserve cartridge cases to be hung up amidships, two cases not to be taken to the gun if loaded. " 10. All shells to be placed on the opposite side to that engaged. 11. Case shot, grape shot, fighting lanterns—in fact, everything, should be removed from tho ship's side, and placed in the rear of the guns, as near amidships as pos sible. " 12. Water on all decks, four tubs on each deck, be• sides the tanks. "13. Hammocks and screens for the tops, and three buckets filled, to extinguish fire aloft. " 14. Yards and gaff's to be slung. "15. Spare tiller, tiller ropes, and relieving tackles ready. " 16. Stoppers and dead eyes for securing shrouds and backstays. "17. Axes and tomahawks for cutting away rigging or clearing wreck. 18. Pumps and fire-engines rigged and ready for ser vice. " 19. Shells at the quarters, equal to five broadsides, ready. "20. Extra shot should be passed up to complete at least 60 broadsides, and placed in shot grummets as near amidships as possible. It is found that shot can be passed from hand to hand more rapidly and with less confusion than by being hoisted up in nets. " 21. When the ship has much heel it is desirable, whether fighting to windward or to leeward, to remove the near trucks ; this the crews are accustomed to do at their own drills. Tile weather guns, otherwise, come in too heavily on their own Greechings, the lee guns running out after their recoil. "22. Converging lines combined with graduated semi circles on each gangway, or other place, are most essential. The seamen soon understandtheir use. " 23. Night sights for chase guns, dead white, are at times useful. " 24. The long tangent sights for distant firing are to be kept on deck." THE NORTH SEA PILOTS AND , THE BALTIC FLEET. It will be in the remembrance of many of our readers, that on the return of the Hecla from her survey of the Baltic, in February last, we dwelt at some length on the inefficiency of the Hull pilots, and of the extraordinary fuss made about the want f accommodation by these grumbling, ignorant, and extravagantly paid individuals. We at such period stated our belief that the masters of the navy, many of whom went out to survey in the Heels, did the work which the fussy Hull men (dubbing themselves " North Sea pilots") were incapable of doing, in fact, simply because some few of them had been up to St. Petersburg two or three times, they fancied that our fleet was entirely dependent upon them for its safety. Certainly a little allowance may be made for their conceit, because of the Government rush" to obtain their services, and a good deal of their grumbling was stopped by the liberality of Captain Washington. We are now borne out in our remarks at that time by what has since become patent— namely, that the commander-in-chief would as soon have a lot of Marylebone apple-women as these fat and know nothing Hull pilots. The whole and real duty ;has devolved upon the masters of the Royal Navy. We believe it will not be long before the " pilots" will be sent home as useless lumber. We only hope that the immense amount of consideration required by these men will not bis lost sight of by the Board of Admiralty, and that the real pilots, the masters of the Royal navy, will be looked upon with especial favour by the board in a pecu niary sense, for it is to this class of officers that the whole safety of our splendid war-ships is left, and with such onerous duties, coupled with a natural anxiety to acquit themselves creditably in the eyes of their country, we feel assured that in acknowledgment of their Services the coun try would gladly concur that an augm entation in thei r amount of pay would be no more than what they are en titled to; every one knows that the m aster must be every . where, and that he must study ha rd to obtain that prac tical knowledge so absolutely necessary for the well-doi ng of the British naval service. The Admiralty commenc ed a good work when th e y broke through the old cu stom of the Guern sey and Jersey their mon own n uto a officers,v e and not only pilotagesaving vastb employamount i n o g f money .but considerable saving of time, at the same time obtai n i ng a more correct futureknowledge we shall fatlhl hear e c oas n t o and o s r o e u o n f d g e these supplementary We trust th a t f or th e pu tting their foot on board a man of w ar, w h e th er yilots in p the North Sea or any other sea.

Notwithstanding a violent storm of rain, which com menced immediately after the race ior the Queen's Guineas, and lasted for nearly half an hour, this meeting was a very pleasant sequel to the two days at Stockbridge. The sport was much better than had been seen on " Worthy Down" for some years past, and satisfactory proof was afforded, that by confining it to one day, and exercising a spirit of liberality, the secretary, who has the chief management of the affair, had acted very judiciously. We were glad to find that since last year some improve• ments had been made with respect to the telegraph and betting enclosure, and that a determination exists to pro ceed further in the "light direction."
