PENALTIES.-At Ilford, on Saturday last, Mr. Oldaker, the lessee of the Terrace at Ilford, laid 151 informations against the Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, for penalties of 201. each, amounting in the whole to 3,0201. By the Act of Parliament, if the Company should intercept any road without making another road for the convenience of those using it, they were to be held liable to a penalty of 201. for each day that the road remained impassable. An argument was raised by the solicitor of the Company, contend ing that this case was one for compensation, and not for the penal ties. The Magistrates retired, and, without hearing the corn_ plainant's case, decided that they had no jurisdiction. On the part of the complainant it was contended that the Bench could not de cide before hearing the case, and, if they did so, Mr. Oldaker would be compelled to go to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the hearing of the case. The Magistrates, after consult ing, consented to hear the evidence in support of the informations. The sons of the complainant stated that their father's horse and gig could not be got out of his stables for several weeks, in consequence of the Company having completely destroyed the road to the house, and that when they could get out the carriage it was only by going through some neighbouring garden ground. The road was impas. sable for 151 days. It was contended for the Company, that, as they had compensated the freeholder, they were not liable for the penalties, and that if any liability existed it was only for compensa tion. The Magistrates adhered to their former opinion, and de.. dared that the case did not come within the meaning of the Act ; they therefore discharged the informations.—Abridged from the Chelmsford Chronicle. Mr. SANKEY said that he could bear testimony to the orderly and peaceable conduct of those meetings, 88 ho had the honour to be chairmain at one of them held in Edinburgh. So confident was he of the well re gulated and orderly conduct of his fellovv-countrymen, that that he did not feel the slightest hesitation in accepting the honour which they were disposed to pay him in asking him to preside at their assembly. While thus bearing his humble testimony to the peaceable conduct of those meetings, he could not sit down without stating that he fully concurred in the motion of Mr. O'Brien. Mr. WHITTLE said that before he moved an amendment to the resolution before the Chair, an amendment which would go to negative it altogether, he could not forbear from saying a few words on the torch .light meeti ngs ; and what he would say of them would be fully borne out by his friend Mr. Marsden, the representativ e of the Pres ton district. A meeting was held in Preston for the pur pose of electing a Delegate, and on account of its being held during the hours of labour, it was said that it was thinly attended ; but wor se than that, thos e who did at tend it were discharged from their employm ent. To remedy these inconveniences, it was thought , prudent to get a meeting up after working hours, whi c h was got up accordingly, and was successful. This was done by t h e advice of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in order that no bad consequences should accrue to the p eo p le. This was the origin of the torch-light m eetin g s. Havin g said so m uc h on that subject, he would now address him se lf , in a very few words to the immediate subject of discussion. i 4 --e was opposed to the adoption of this resolution, from a prospect of the un pleasant consequences that m a y attach to i t ; for s ure l y wo must not forget that this conference which we desire is a thing quite novel in the history o the country. ( Here Mr. O'Brien made some observation which was not heard at the reporters' table.) It is in substance a conference, and must we not allow that no body, save the Hous e of Lords, desired or would ask to confer with the House of Com mons, and although the term has been objected to, we thought he had fairly stated what the object of the resolution was intended to procure. Was not the resolution made to state ? that the House of Common s is invited to meet us in"a body as the law now stands they are sent to represent the people—are they not solely for the pur pose of receiving the people's petitions, and legislating on them ? Would not the resolution make a claim on the House of Commons to admit them to a preliminary discus sion on a subject of which they had no previous knowledge? Does it not appear by it that they are to be fully aware of our object, although they will not be in possession of our petition for some days after the conference takes place? Mr, Whittle continued to argue for some time longer in NATIONAL CONVENTION. (YESTERDAY.) - Mr. ROGERS in the chair. The usual Secretary was ap pointed, who read the minutes, and called over the names of the members. RULES AND REGULATIONS COMMITTEE. Mr. COBBETT, in answer to the Secretary's question, said that the Report of the Committee was not yet ready. Mr. PITKEMILEY begged the attention of the gentle men who composed that Committee to the great necessity of a fpeedy Report. Dr. FLETCHER said that they were quite in the dark as to their powers. The delay arose from want of knowledge as to the extent of their control. N:)TICES OF MOTIONS. Mr. COBBETT gave in one. That " the name of this Convention be called the General Convention of the Dele gates of the Working Classes." Mr. F. O'CONNOR gave one to the purport of adding to the Petition Committ ee an instruction that Mr. Thomas Attwood and Mr. Fielden be requested to present petitions of the Chartists. AUDITING THE ACCOUNTS. Mr. F. O'Cos:voa, in proposing- this resolution for the adoption of the Convention, felt it was unnecessary that he should say anything in support of it, as they must be aware that the loose manner in which the accounts of the pubic bodies were regulated, was often a source of great dissatisfaction. In order that this should be obviated in our case he felt it necessary to bring forward the present resolution. It would be just to the people at large that an exact account should be rendered of the monies which they had subscribed. He thought that Monday, being the day of Supply, would of course be the most convenient day for the Finance Committee. Mr. WROE seconded the resolution. Atter a few words from Mr. DocoLas, it passed. The resolution was to the effect, "That the Finance Com mittee be requested to report every Monday on the state of the Treasury." Mr. RICHARDSON read a letter from one of his constitu ents enclosing five pounds. REV. MR. STEPHENS. Mr. FEA r RGUS O'CONNOR was most anxious that an oppor tunity of stating the case of the Rev. Gentleman should be given him ; however, as it seemed to be the opinion of the friends of that gentleman that it would be improper at this time to introduce any discussion on the subject, what ever his own opinion was, he withdrew the motion on the suggestion of the friends of that gentleman, and while he did so— Mr. Alderman HADLEY begged to know from Mr. O'Conner if, after his declaration to the contrary he in tended to make a speech ? If so he must say it was a mode of proceeding quite irregular. MR. O'CONNOR said that he would not take up the time of the Convention by making a speech, but he, in expla nation of the reason of his withdrawing the resolution, w shed to say a few words ; as this -was not wished, he simply begged leave to withdraw the motion of which he had given notice.—Motion withdrawn. Me. O'BRIEN brought forward a resolution, of which he had given notice in course, " To the effect that this Convention request an interview with The House of Commons on the 23d of February, in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of disabusing the minds of the gentlemen of that House of any bad opinion they may have taken up with regard to the principles of the Chartists, and to give them every information as to the ob jects for which we have assembled." Mr. B. O'Brien spoke for a long time in his usual strain on the grievances of the working classes, and on the want of knowledge of the legislature on this subject, which proved the necessity for the interview. Mr. COLLINS, on seconding the resolution, said that after the very eloquent address which they had heard, it would not be necessary for bim to say much in its support, as the necessity for this meeting was made so evident by Mr. O'Brien. It would not become him to take up their time with the introduction of anything to show its tendency to promote in the minds of the House of Commons a feeling different from what they have at pre sent with regard to our principles, but he could not help saying that, according to the old saying, that to gain a cause,. it was not only necessary that yourself should be right, but also that those who opposed you should be wrong. Is it not therefore right that we should take away from the gentlemen of the House of Commons any bad impressions they may have been led to take up from the disjointed and false accounts of our opinions and principles, which are set before the public by those who are our enemies, and who leave nothing undone to make us appear what we are not. We must tell these gentlemen if the intercourse is given, that we are not so poor as they think, nor are we as igno rant as they imagine. We can prove to them, by the production of the report of the Hand-loom Commissioners, a commission which had been appointed by the Govern ment, that the poor are as well ordered, as rtligious, as are those classes which are above them ; indeed, before that commission it was proved satisfactorily that in Scotland the hand-loom weavers, who, to support their numerous families, had only ss. 6d. per week. were the most re ligious and moral of the country ; and that it was from that body that the deacons and church-officers were chosen. Such was their piety and strict morality. In regard to the want of knowledge attributed to the working classes, how could it be otherwise, when the system of which they complained compelled the poor people to a line of conduct which preventei them from giving an education to their children ? Is it not in evidence before the Factory Com mission that children have been worked at the early age of five- and-a-half years? How, therefore. can those be educated who have scarcely escaped from the cradle, when they must mount the platform of the factory. Indeed it was told him by a schoolmaster that in a particular part of the country some philan►hrophical individuals undertook to get up an evening school ; but the children attending the school, instead of learning their lessons, were from ex treme fatigue always asleep. In conclusion he impressed on them, for the sake of their principles, to consider their poiition, and by their vote give an opportunity of the House of Commons being tested. Dr. FIE rcuErt said; with regard to the torch-light meet ings, of which so much had been said here and elsewhere, from necessity alone were these meetings held. Unless they were held by torch-light they could not be held at all, for the state of the people was such that from fear of their employers, and from their necessities, they were unable to devote any other time to those meetings but that which was given to them for their natural rest. It was not, as was said, for the purpose of intimidating the timorous ; it was not for the purpose of producing a solemn effect on the minds of the public, although it might have that effect, that they were held by torch-light. With regard to that which had been held at Bury, and of which he (the spea ker) was Chairman, nothing could be more peaceable; and although it was deemed of sufficient importance to claim the notice of the Government, who sent down to Manchester one of the Under-Secretaries (Mr. Phillips), as was un derstood, to confer with the Magistrates after it was over, yet nothing could be elicited, to claim for it a title to illegality. The Bury Magistrates, upon whom I waited before the meeting, had such reliance on me and on the people, that they refused to swear in special constables, although requested to do so by some of the shopkeepers of the town, and on the inquiry which took place at Man chester afterwards " the constable of Bury"—and mind, gentlemen, when I tell you that there is but ONE constable in that town, does it not prove that, although in the very heart of the manufacturing districts, that it is a peaceable and well-regulated communit 3 ?—well, this constable on his oath, says that the meeting was of the most orderly and peaceable description. Nothing that he could see in it tended to a breach of the peace.—( Hear, hear.) And while I am on this subject, may I be permitted to say for myself, in answer to some remarks in the London Press—." That it was unwise to hold that meeting after the publication of Lord John Russell's letter." I did not deem that letter of such importance as to prevent us ex erting a constitutional right ; it was not law, and could not bind us ?—(" Hear," and cheers.) We met for the purpose of petitioning against grievances.—( Hear.) yv The disproportion in the number of Lieut enan t s an d Midshipmen has since been partially reme di e d ; t h e Mates, &c., having been reduced from 38 to '29, or in a ratio of five and a half candidates for one vacancy. But the continuance of this lesser disparity is equally impolitic and inhuman ; impolitic, as it en tails on the country an annuity to officers who cannot be employed ; and, inhuman, as it deprives those who are employed, of all fair chance of promotion. The presence of so many young officers is not required, and the Admiralty is often shamed into the promotion of one, whose claims of long service, cannot be overlooked, but who, either from age or disgust, is useless as a Lieutenant. Surely to admit fifty or sixty Mids, into a flag ship, and some thirty into a frigate, as even is now occasionally done, is inflicting a serious injury on the pro fession generally, as no demand for officers can keep pace with such profuse admissions, and thus the promotion of the greater number, becomes a lottery, in which there are far too many blanks to a prize. What situation can be more deplorable than that of a Mate (passed Midship man) of 30 to 40 years of age, who possibly entered before his Captain was born, depressed by neglect, dejected in countenance, and sick at heart with hope long deferred ? The nature of their prospects will be better understood when I state that there are nearly seven hundred Mates, and less than four hundred Lieutenants on full pay in the navy. What can be more unjust than to throw a Midshipman, who has served several years, destitute on his friends—alas ! perhaps he has no friends—because he has not interest enough to obtain another ship ? Unfitted for any other pursuit, he is frequently driven to some menial employment. In two of the passages which I have made across the Atlantic, the cook of one vessel and the steward of the other, assured me that they bad served as Midshipmen and were dis charged at the peace? Is it not then criminal in a parent, who is without the pale of patronage, to launch his child, ere he is old enough to know the consequences, on the troubled sea of so uncertain and so ungrateful a profession ? By the present system no young man, however transcendent his merit, without powerful interest or extreme good fortune, can reasonably hope to attain higher rank than that of a Lieutenant ; and few, so situated, attain that rank until they have served nearly twenty years, and are above thirty. The inequality I have described causes such an excess of half-pay officers that, exclusive of a host of Masters, Surgeons, and Pur sers, they are now n umerically sufficient to man, with the usual complement of Marines, nearly eight sail of the line. And why this inequality, unless to satisfy the cravings of patronage, and to increase and perpetuate the half-pay list? In all regiments, with the exception of those in India, there are only two Subalterns to one Captain ; and notwithstanding the many steps that the Subaltern, who cannot purchase, gains by the purchase of his seniors, he seldom obtains his company under a sevice of twenty years. And yet a regiment has to furnish many more guards and detachments than a ship of the line, but in the army a sergeant performs duty, which in the Navy should be entrusted to a petty officer of similar rank. Another cause of the cruel excess of Naval officers is Having mentioned that I have inspected many ships of war, from the huge three-decker to the tiny gun boat, I shall briefly describe a visit to a French frigate and to an American corvette while lying in the harbour of Rio de Janeiro—the former was a double banker, carrying 62 guns, 32-pounders, with nearly .500 men, and a most powerful ship. I expected to see the crew at q uarters, as in our Navy, but on g etting on board our party found every man armed and equipped as a sol dier, and drawn up in companies, which soon after marched round the spar deck in slow and quick time., with a band of music, exactly as a regiment on parade, but it being the Sabbath they were not further exercised. Having inadvertently placed ourselves nearest to the rear rank men as they marched, I was amused at the Captain calling us at once to the opposite side, that we might better see the front rank, or tallest men ; but it gratified me to ob serve that they had not the size, or muscular powers, or manly bearing of British seamen—in fact, they looked like landsmen. Notwithstanding, I fear that in the event of another war, the French Navy will give us mbre trouble than in the last, as, having comparatively fewer officers, they are constantly employed, and have gained experience, while promotion is more justly distributed among them. I was also one of another party of English gentlemen, who visited the cor vette, by appointment with the American Consul. On stepping on board, we were received by the Captain, a perfect gentleman in manners and appearance ; and a small band complimented us by playing our national an them. The Captain showed us over the ship, which mounted 24 guns, with a crew of 198 men. What struck me most was the beauty of her deck, constructed as it was, of unusually narrow planks, of close grain and great length. While we were partaking of some refresh ' ment provided by the Captain, I asked him how the Midshipmen were promoted—he replied, by seniority, and stated the following instance in proof, to have re cently occurred :—A Mid was passed over in his turn, and on his applying to the Secretary of the Navy, he was told, that he had forfeited his promotion. Unable to obtain redress, he petitioned the Senate, and Mr. Se cretary was directed either to promote him, or to try him by a Court Martial, but he preferred the former alternative. If an English Middy, who had long seen his juniors promoted over him, were bold enough to kick against the pricks, and to ap peal from the Admiralty to Parliament , how different would be his lot. I have more than once used the ta lismanic word " Interest," that expressive term, whose workings are every day seen and felt in the Navy ; but alas ! it gives no zest to bravery, and too often serves as a cloak to cowardice. It is well known that two or three three Captain's of Howe's fleet showed an evident dis inclination to share in the dangers of the memorable fights of the 29th of May, and Ist of June , an d yet in terest not only made Admirals of these men, but gave them titles and commands. A very gallant and severely wounded officer, now a Captain, has told me that while serving as a Mid in a crack frigate during the war, a brother Mid *recommended his taking his place in the boats, when employed on a cutting-out expedition, observing that he had interest, and was certain of being made, while my friend had no interest, and success might give him promotion. It is by such sinister means that the finest Navy may at length be paralyzed and undone. I am trespassing en your columns, but permit me to inquire, through you, the object of building so many 36-gun frigates, as none of my Naval friends can inform They are much too small to cope singly with a French double-banker, and much too large for the largest American corvette. I can understand the utility of a few 28-gun frigates for Channel and North Sea winter service, but to construct ships, and very expensive ships, of a clas s which I believe no other power possesses, appears to me as fatuous as continuing to build 46-gun frigates after the last American war ; the experience of that war was dearly purchased, and it should not now be lost. In conclusion, I would add, that as the Naval service is fraught with so many trials and privations, so should it meet with corresponding encouragement—that as re ward is the parent of zeal, so should they who labour at the oar not toil in vain—and that, as all equally share in the dangers, so should there be a more equal distribu tion of the few pleasures. Extend to both officers and seamen the most common rights of justice and humanity, and Britain will quickly possess a fleet, such as becomes her insular position, and such as will enable her to defy the enmity of the world. France and Russia may build ships, but they cannot man them with British crews. Unhappily, however, these brave men, the terror of their enemies abroad, cannot overcome the cor rupt influence of patronag e, their cruel enemy at home. In the vast expanse of the Ocean, the officer without interest, sees no land of promise ; to biro the vista of advancement is dim indeed, and hope cheers not the tedium of his midnight watch ; he is kept in con tinual dependance on the favour or the frown of power ; merit is shorn of its fair claim, and many a gallant Nelson wastes energies in some subordinate capacity until his noble spirit breaks, and he sinks unheeded and unknown into the deep wa t ers o f o bli v i on . Should this long letter be the means of checking the admission of o ne V o l unteer, or o f s h orten i ng the proba tion of even one Mate, it will amply repay me , as m y only object in writing it is the public good. Thank .

When he had done, Mr. Wroo seconded the amendment. Mr. DOUGLAS would recommend that a Committee be appointed to select Members. - blr. O'BatENT had no objection. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR said—lf Mr. O'Brien should withdraw the original resolution, he would be bound to press its adoption. Mr. SALT in support of Mr. O'Brien's motion said he was an " anti-physical-force man." He commended his virtuous propensities for being so! as the feelings of his heart and all the tendencies of his nature were at vari ance with his conduct in this respect; for he thought he ought to be a s' physical-force man." Conscience is a steady sleeper, but she will sometimes be awakened. The thunder that will proceed from this assembly to wards will awaken the consciences of those persona who have the power of redressing the wrongs of the many, whose miseries are beyond calculation—miseries that have . brought about this demonstration ; a demonstration which if not answered in the wa y which w ill mee t th e people's wishes, will produce on the country an effect that is not to be contemplated without fear, as the wrath of the Most 'High will, eventually, fall on the head of those who will not do their utmost to prevent the many miseries of the people. Dr. WADE r.commended the adoption of Mr. O'Brien's motion. Mr. FEattous O'CoNNou then addressed the meeting in support of the origin a l mo ti on . H e conten d e d t h a t it was by discussion that their objects and their principles could be made known to the public. It was by discussion that the public would be disabused of the wrong impression they had taken with regard to torch-light meetings—and that it was to him the terms moral and.*sical force, and torchlight meetings, owed their origin. He saw how necessary they were to enable the people to make a demonstration of their strength.—( Hear, hear.) He it was that lighted the torch that gave them their bright ex istence. Ho it was that extended over them the extinguisher te t l ht q iahinus demonstrationsnc . quenched aosf t i h tt h e i en r we-spread o t peopleofi d theos t u flame. gen unnecessary? t necessity that the people should be kept from being thrown into the bands of Whigs or Tories ? It was to show these pccple that we are determined in our course, if this our last petition is not successful. If we were to go among the people and preach to them the doctrine of these moral philosophers we should not gain that popu larity that we now have—( Luud cries of No, no). I con tend that if we did not show the people the substance be hind the shadow, they never would assist us in the way they do. How necessary it is that our principles should be known can there be better evidence than we have in the case of the Catholics of Ireland—( Hear, hear)—as long as they remained in a state of quietude— as long as they remained i.ile, and kept their grit vances from the view of the Protestant public, so long did they remain as they were ; but when they bestirred themselves and published to the world their grievances, then were they assisted, and, in consequence of that assistance, soon ob tain their emancipation. What do we want, but this dis cussion of our principles, to ensure their success ? Unless this conference is opened, or at least attempted to be opened ? we will still be subject to the misrepresentation of our enemies. Has the Press omitted any opportunity of foisting on us principles which we do not profess ?—( Hear.) Why, not later than yesterday had not one of the Journals of this city misrepresented what I said at the meeting the night before last at the White Conduit House?—( Hear hear. )—I was made to say " That I would recommend to the people that they should fight unconditionally"--( Hear, hear.)—The Sun newspaper gave it other'vise ; it gave it, impartially—( Hear, hear. )—Does not this make it necessary that our principles should be known to the world? Does it not prove the necessity for their being known through some recognised document, to the Times to Lord John Russell, to Daniel O'Connell, and to all who are disposed to give them a colour which they do not deserve ? It is indispensably necessary that all should know these principles in order that we may not be misrepresented. —( Hear.) After some other observations to the same pur port, Mr. O'Connor sat down, asserting his determination of supporting the original resolution. After some ten or fifteen other Members of the Conven tion had delivered themselves of similar addresses, the Chairman put the amendment of Mr. Whittle which only stated " That the original motion was not expedient or ne cessary just now," when it was lost by a great majority, and the original carried with only two dissentients. A Delegate gave in a notice of motion, " that Mr. Frost be requested to place before the Convention, the corres pondence between himself and the Home Secretary," and Mr. Fcargus O'Connor. another motion that he would bring the state of Ireland into consideration, on Monday week, for the purpose of framing an address to the people of that country, The meeting then dissolved. THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Public attention having recently been drawn to the Navy, over which a cloud has hung too long, I trust that it will not be deemed presumptuous or intrusive in me, a civilian, to express my views on a subject with which I am in some degree familiar, having studied it many years, and had an opportunity of inspecting ships of war, in commission, of the principal maritime powers. The gangrene, which appears to me to be destroying the vitals of the Navy, springs from the cruel inequality, in the first admission and subsequent promotion of the officers, and from the deficiency of stimulus among the seamen. I shall, in consequence confine my remarks chiefly to these points, touching lightly on others of minor consideration. As late back as 1825, I transmitted. to Lord Mel ville a few propositions for a considerable reduction in the number of Mates, Midshipmen, and Ist class Volun teers, to be replaced by a corresponding number of Second Lieutenants and Coxswains, and I shall briefly recapitulate the arguments then urged by me in their favour. I stated that there were thirty-eight Mates, &c., in a first-rate, to eight Lieutenants, and' supposing the fornier to serve the required period of. six years only, and the latter to be renewed every nine years by pro motion, permanent retirement, or death, the p7oportion of candidates for the vacancies was as 57 to 8, or up wards of seven to one. In advocating the new appointment of Second Lieu tenant, I observed that junior officers could thereby be be promoted with comparative economy, while it would be far less mortifying to them to serve even for many years in this rank, than as Mates, with the pain ful uncertainty of advancement ; that the transition from a Mate to a Lieutenant was too rapid, and that had there been such an intermediate appointment at the peace of 1814-15, the many hundred midshipmen who were then promoted might have been provided for, with an immense saving, on half-pay. In suggesting an augmentation in the number of Coxswains, or of more petty officers under any other name, I stated that they might perform part of the duty of Midshipmen, and that the prospect of the appointment would induce many seamen, perfectly qualified to fill it, to enter the Navy. the privilege granted to Admirals in command of pro motion into death, and court martial vacancies. Hav ing long witnessed the abuse of this privilege, which is usually exercised without the slightest reference to merit or length of service ; and, being convinced that it would be infinitely preferable for officers, without inte rest, to depend on the Admiralty for advancement, than on twelve Admirals removed every three years, and each intent on providing for his own rela tives or friends, I explained anonymously the ill effects in the United Service Journal of May, 1829, and, singularly enough, the evil was in a great measure abated a few months after, by restricting the Admirals to one vacancy ; that is, if a Captain died, he was only allowed to nominate to one of the consequent three va cancies, in place of promoting a Commander, Lieute nant, and Mid, as before. But this privilege, as well as that on striking the flag, is so inequitable in its operation, that it should be entirely cancelled ; and Admirals should be placed on the same footing as General Of ficers, by being restricted to recommendations only for promotion. Indeed it is incomprehensible, why an Ad miral is entitled to give rank in the Navy, equivalent to that of a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army, and probably to Iris own son or nephew, or to some other very young man ; while a General Officer, on Foreign or Colonial Service, cannot appoint an Ensign. The Duke of Wellington, in his admirable dispatches recently pub lished, complained that he had not the power, during his Peninsular campaigns, of making even a corporal. When my poor brother, a Lieutenant of the Sybille frigate, died at Malta of his wounds, his vacancy, 1 have heard, was given by the Ad miral in the Mediterranean to a Midshipman, then serving in the East Indies ! ! Admirals, however deserving, should be satisfied with their good for tune, in obtaining so high a rank, when many as good and old officers as themselves are only Lieutenants or Commanders ; and they should also bear in mind, in reference to their own excess of number, that the victory of the Nile, the most brilliant on record, was achieved, although at night and at anchor, by only one Admiral ( Rear and rare), with one eye and one arm, while in Howe's action, in which several of the Cap tains were guilty of gross dereliction of duty, there were no less than seven British Admirals. I would suggest, en passant, the propriety of changing the title of Captain into that of Commodore, and of Lieutenant into that of Captain, as it is certainly ano malous to designate by the same title the commanding officer of a ship, with perhaps eight hundred men, and of a company of eighty men. And if commissioned officers junior to the present Lieutenants, were appointed, the Navy would then possess the better distinction of ranks, in Commodores, Commanders, Captains, and Lieute nants. I come now to the seamen, the sinews of our naval greatness, whose attachment and services it is the first duty of those in power to secure, as it appears to be ge nerally conceded that unlimited impressment, unless in cases of great extremity, will never again be tolerated, although Sir John Barrow seems to think otherwise. If the Admiralty do not take measures in time to re move the present aversion of the seamen to the Navy—l speak of the mass—it will incur a fearful responsibility, as, without securing seamen, we build our ships in vain. I would humbly then suggest to the Board, to begin the good work ; Ist, By gradually reducing the number of Midshipmen, and immediately augmenting that of petty officers. 2d, By applying the prospective saving in half pay to the increased pay of the seamen ; and, 3d, By providing a more equal distribution of prize-money. As merchant-seamen are paid by the calendar month, I question much the expediency of paying men-of-war seamen by the lunar month. The latter are not calcu lating enough to reckon the difference, and if their: pay were raised from 345. the lunar month to 40s. the calendar month, the extra expense would only be 38s. a year per man. This would be a near approximation to the wages of merchant-seamen, which in peace time are about 455. a month ; and the change might induce many to enter the Navy. The country cannot do too much for its seamen, as it owes them a frightful debt of reparation. It is true that the victims of the heinous cruelties of the last wars— those who were torn from their families, and fought unrequited " under the cold shade of the Aristocracy"—have nearly all passed away, but their wrongs and sufferings are remembered by their successors, whom it is both our duty and policy to conci liate and reward. . SlR.—The Auditors of the Church-rate Abolition Society have addressed to you a long letter, w hi c h claims notice from me. My previous letter was legitimately occasioned by the public address of the Society, signed by their Chair man and Secretary, and if it deserved any notice at all should have received it from the Committee itself ra ther than the Auditors. My charge was, that the Society had for same time been utterly inefficient to the parposes for which it was ostensibly formed ; and my request as a subscriber was that account should be given of money expended, apps. rently to so little purpose. Now as to the charge-Ist. The following is an tract from a letter addressed last week to the Srottigt Pilot, by Mr. Besley, who was a Member of the Corn mittee, but resigned his office exactly " because, in common with most of the intelligent Dissenters in England, he felt that there was a particular time in which the Church-rate Abolition Society lost its character,—when it became apparent that there was a want of that confidence and unanimity so necessary to the carrying on of any great work. The first shock that was given to the cordiality with which the Committee had worked, was given by one of its own officers (the gentleman that has lately had a vote of thanks for his unpaid services). This officer chose, without consulting the Committee, and without laying any statement before them to show what funds were required, to undertake a journey through the principal cities and towns of England, to collect money in the name of the Society. As honourable men and faithful stewards, the Committee were arixous that the Society should not be used as a mere utensil to raise money, and this naturally gave great offence. Loud protestations were made against such a violation of all right principle, and from that time to the present, there has been difficulty in getting a Committee together. Several of our most active mem bers have never attended a Committee since. I coofess that, although I felt strongly the contempt that was thrown upon us by our Secretary, I remained a member of the Committee as long as I could do so honestly, and endeavoured to awaken some of its youthful energy, without effect. The latter meetings of the Committee have seldom been attended by more than four persons, rarely five ; of these, two were generally personal friends of the Secretary, and a third gentleman inter ested in the Patriot newspaper. I appeal, then, Ivith confidence to any unprejudiced mind if I could co l , sistly have clone otherwise than resign, seeing that one of the first acts of the resuscitated Committee was i n approbation of the Whig Ministers and their doings." 2d. I have further evidence of the same kind, in co letters addressed to me from different quarters, m- plaining that the writers being engaged in local strug gle,, and requiring the legal advice which th e Commit tee professed to obtain, had received only loose, general, unprofessional answers, leaving them just where " Bura's Justice" would carry them, and giving no aid whatever to their efforts. 3d. I appeal to the present condition of the Church rate question as evidence of the committee's inefficiency or bad faith. It cannot be denied that we are just where we were when the Society was formed, nor that the only chance of remedy held out by the Society is to await the Report of the Committee on Church Leases ; a Report which will never be presented while it is pos... sible to shelve the Church-rate question, or while the opposition is limited to an occasional newspaper adver tisement and courteous Downing -street conferences. Again, when the whole country is being agi:ated more fiercely than ever by local Church-rate struggles, and all hope of voluntary relief by the Government or the Legislature is relinquished, the Committee, hiv, its Chairman and Secretary, counsel the Dissenters to the most vigorous and energetic patience, and wonders at our wonder, that they find any conference with Mr. Spring Rice satisfactory to any extent, and at our de mand that we may know what really passed at such conference, and judge for ourselves. It is very true that I seconded a resolution which Mr. O'Connell proposed at a public meeting of th e So ciety in May last, urging the people to bestir them selves for the removal of the grievance, but this act i s not to be construed into a sanction of the Committee's subsequent Acts, nor of all that had preceded. I had not at that time lost all hope from them. I had ex pressed to several members my dissatisfaction with their past inactivity, and trusted that an impulse from with out would quicken their zeal. But my hope has not been realized, and the: dissatisfaction I then felt, has ripened into utter and well-founded distrust. Next, as to the funds. I have at various times en. pressed to several members of the Committee, and to one of its officers, a friendly but decided opinio n that the (accounts should be published, and the reply was like that of these Auditors, that such publication would be hurtful to the cause. The reason conveyed to my understanding was, that so small an amount had been contributed by the Dissenting body, as would to the public appear ridiculous, but when I learn that above 1,300/. have been expended by the Society, I am constrained to believe that the apprehended danger must be of a very different character. I ask, then, what hurt would result to our cause from such publication, and I express my conviction that no functions were ever delegated to this Committee, but such as might when discharged, be proclaimed to the whole world. I feel that the Auditors have not satisfied my just, de mands. That the public may judge, I call on the Com mitttee, through its proper organs, to account for its re ceipts and disbursements, to state what have been its proceedings, since Mr. Spring Rice's motion vi va , dis posed of—what public acts it has performed-- w h at parties enjoying any amount of public confidence have attended the meetings, and what resolutions have been negatived as well as passed, during that time. Until this be done, I trust Dissenters throughout the country will pursue the course to which the apathy of this Society has already so extensively contributed, v i z , retain their funds and their energies, for the conduct of their own affairs, in their own districts. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN CHILDS Bungay, Feb. 9. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. THE DEPARTURE OF LORD NORM AN'IIY. DenLIN, FED. 12. This event which is regarded with so much regret h this ccuntrv, is understood to be Axed for Saturday next. His Excellency has com manded a performance at the theatre on Thursday night, has ap. pointed Friday for a Levee, and sails upon the streceedirg day. A private meeting took place at the Commercial-buildings this day, to consider the best mode of expressing the feelings of the citizens of Dublin upon the occasion. Either an address or a public meeting will be determined on, and it is generally understood, that without any at. tempt at a procession, most of the wealthy and respectable citizens will accompany his Excellency to Kingstown upon the day of his de parture. Lord Radnor, who it is believed will be his successor, would give satisfaction here as far as any person could, comirg after Lord Normanby, but the chief reliance of the tuition is . upon Lord Morpeth, who will, it is understood, be the real Governor for the future—no matter who is the nominal one. His admission the Cabinet would go to warrant this opinion. In the Post of this evening it is announced that there will be a public meeting at t he Chamber of Commerce to-morrow of the friends of Ireland, to deter. mine upon the most suitable mode of addressing Lord Norinanhy before his departure, and from a private source I learn that there will be an undress Levee at the Castle on Saturday morrlng, to which ladies will be admissible, before the hour of their Excellen. cies' departure. . • The Precursor Society met this evening. A letter was read from Mr. O'Connell, stating that he would arri v e i n Ir e l a n d on Sunday next, attend a meeting on Monday, and sail t h at same ni g h t for Holyhead, to attend the Corn.law discussion in the House of Con,,, mons. The tone of the letter is rather desponding, and he calls upon the country to come forward with petitions. He makes refer ence to his late attack upon Lord Brougham, for whom he says he has another volley in store if he provokes him to a second onslaught. No business was done at this meeting, except moving its adjourn. ment to the day Mr. O'Connell had promised to attend. A frigate has been sent by Government to take soundings in the Shannon, to determine whether It is practicable to form a harbour at the mouth of that noble river.
