Such were the respective positions of the two countries when, the putting to death of the Spanish consular agent at Mazagran having caused a probability of a collision between that Power and Morocco, we were re presented as not only exciting the Spanish Government to war, but as even ready to aid them, particularly by affording subsidies. At the same time the Courts of Sweden and Denmark having determined •to free them selves from the tribute paid to Morocco, having claimed our good offices as well as those of England to support the negotiations they were about to commence with the Court of Fez, we interfered with that object in accord with the Cabinet of London. On the other hand, pre tensions destitute of every foundation were raised as to the territory which had ever formed part of the regency of Algiers, and which France occupies by that title. Abd-el-Kader found in these circumstances fresh means of excitement amongst the Moorish tribes and in the Councils of the Emperor, by aggravating the report of our asserted alliance with Spain against Morocco, and by depicting us as the instigators of the resolution adopted by Sweden and Denmark not to pay tribute, by accusing us of having invaded the territory of the em pire, and of entertaining plans of conquest with re spect to it. Thence have resulted the present crisis, and the cha racter more gravely compromised than ever of our rela tions with - Morocco. But there is reason to believe that we are not yet at war with that state ; and if prtidence commands us to prepare, as we are doing, to repel any attacks from that side, it counsels us not less to avoid carefully all that on our part might provoke or decide a definitive rupture. This consideration is sufficient to characterise the nature of the expedition which is pre paring. Its object is to restrain more than to menace or to strike. At other periods we successfully caused our fleets to appear on the coast of Morocco in order to intimidate the partisans of war in that empire, and to give to the friends of peace the courage and the force to make their dispositions prevail. Such is the principal object of the mission of your Royal Highness. It is probable that the presence of the naval division assembled under your or ders in the waters of Morocco will be sufficient to pro duce a strong and salutary impression, to temper the war like propensities, and to induce the inhabitants of the country to fear and to reflect. Your communications, Monseigneur, with Marshal Bugeaud at Oran, will determine your first operations. If our troops should be in presence of those of the Empe ror of Morocco, not far from the sea and from the limits of our occupation, it might be of advantage to exercise a moral influence on the population hostile to us, and to show them near at hand, as an auxiliary force, ships of war belonging to that nation whose power they were accustomed to dread. The anchorage off the Zepharine Islands, one of the best on the coast, will offer to the ships of our division, particularly at this season, a good and sure position, whence you may proceed rapidly to the point best suited to maintain your relations with the Marshal Governor. If the armies which might be about to engage be not within sight of the sea, and your appearance on any other part of the sea-coast might have a more useful effect, it might afford you an opportunity to observe the inha bited places on the coast, as well as the Spanish presidios at Tetuan, and to proceed finally to Tangiers. With respect to the last point, you will find one of our brigs stationed there, which it may be well to leave always at the disposal of the Consul-General of France. You will have to examine, Monseigneur, what moment it will snit you to choose in order to conduct our ships to the coast of Gibraltar, either on quitting Tangiers or before you proceed there. At Gibraltar you will take care to maintain the best relations with the Governor- General of that place. It is probable that you will meet at that anchorage several foreign ships of war. There, Monseigneur, your language towards the persons who shall have the honour to obtain admission to your pre sence should be conformable to the general spirit of your mission. We do not wish to commence a rupture with Morocco. We desire, on the contrary, to live on good terms with that State, and to see the same policy prevail in the councils of the chief who governs that State. But if we were attacked, or if we did not receive just satis faction for the rising which has recently taken place against us, our firm determination is to take it by force of arms, and the fleet, provided with everything neces sary for action, is not less ready than the Algerine army to concur with activity for this result. If, according to the opinion of the Marshal Governor, and according to your own judgment, Monseigneur, your presence is not necessary for some time in the Mediter ranean, you may enter the ocean, prolong your course along the western coast of the kingdom of Fez, and cause our pavilion to float before Larache, Salee, Maza gran, Azafti, Mogadore, and Santa Cruz. You are aware that Mogadore has been indicated by all the information collected from various points as the most important maritime position in the country, and that which is of the highest value to the present Emperor. It is likewise the only place on the coast where we have a consul. This leads me to remark, that you will have to consider whether it would not be opportune to detach a steam-boat to Mogadore, in ord er t o g i ve asylum, if necessary, to our agent and our countrymen. Independently of the measures of general provision which I have recommended to the care of your Royal Highness, it may happen that a more decisive interven tion on your part may become necessary in the course of events, either before your arrival or during your stay in the waters where your mission is to be accomplished. Two different cases of war may arise, and should be anticipated as far as they may have the effect of obliging you to adopt energetic measures in place of simple de monstrations, to which it was supposed your Royal Highness might have to confine yourself. If in the course of your communications with the Mar shal Governor-General, a notification should be made to you by him, that war is positively declared and com menced between France and Morocco, you will imme diately have recourse on your side to the means placed at your disposal to repress the efforts made against us On the other hand, if during your presence at Algiers, or on the adjoining coast, you should learn that our agents, or our countrymen, have been either expelled or attacked, or compromised in any manner whatever, as to their lives or liberties; or, if you shall have heard of any grave insult offered to the French flag, you will commence hostilities, in order to take satisfaction for such acts.

STOWE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.--Shortly after her Majesty had arrived at Stowe yesterday afternoon, and while the tenantry and labourers were still in front of the mansion, her Majesty took the arm of the Duke of Buckingham, and walked along the colonnade. The Duchess of Buckingham took the arm of Prince Albert. It is almost unnecessary to say that the royal party were cheered in the most enthusiastic manner by the people. Both her Majesty and the Prince repeatedly bowed to them, and they repeatedly expressed their extreme gra tification at the warm and aff ec ti ona t e greeting tey met with from the tenantry of their noble host. Indeed, of the whole of the reception given them in Buckingham and its neighbourhood, it may fairly be said that it has not been surpassed in loyalty and magnificence in any part of the kingdom yet visited by her Majesty. The dinner party last night consisted of her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham, the Marquis of Chandos, Lady Anne Grenville, Lord and Lady Jersey, Lady C. Villiers, Lord and Lady De lavrarr, Lady Mary West, Lord and Lady Orkney, Lord and Lady Southampton, the Marquis of Breadalbane, Sir Thomas Aubrey, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, Lord and Lady Nugent, the Marchioness of Douro, Miss Kerr, Colonel Bouverie, General Wemyss, Dr. Buckland, Captain Carrington, the Rev. Mr. An drews, Mr. Anson, and Mr. Smith. Her Majesty and the Prince sat at the centre of the table, the Duchess of Buckingham at the right of the Prince, and the Duke of Buckingham on the left of her Majesty. A large sideboard at one end of the dining-hall was covered with massive gold plate, and one at the opposite end could scarcely be seen under the silver plate with which it was loaded. The table service was also of gold, and in the centre stood a large and elegant piece of gold plate, with carved figures, illustrative of the pursuits of agriculture. This was a present to the Duke from the people of the county. This piece of plate is called the Chandos testimonial. In the room there is also a piece of silver plate, executed in the most exquisite style for spirit and animation, representing the death of Sir Gren ville Temple, an ancestor of the family, in the civil wars. It represents him engaged (on horseback) with four foot soldiers. The band of the Life Guards played during dinner, and also in the evening. In the course of the evening her Majesty and the Prince, and the guests generally, passed through the principal apartments of the mansion, which, as the many persons who have visited Stowe are aware, are crowded with objects of the most interesting character. The pictures, particularly, are some of the finest and most valuable in this or any other country. Too much praise could scarcely be bestowed upon the fittings-up and internal decorations of the mansion, which are cha racterised by the utmost elegance and splendour. Her Majesty expressed her admiration in very strong terms. Stowe is certainly distinguished from many other mansions of the nobility which are visited by the public for the richness of their contents, in the air of comfort which prevails amidst all the splendour. It looks less like what is commonly called a " show place " than many of them, and more like a residence. The weather has been decidedly favourable through out the day. Her Majesty and the Prince rose so early as half-past seven o'clock, and breakfasted alone. The royal party attended Divine service precisely at nine. The Rev. Mr. Andrews officiated, and read a portion of the morning service of the Established Church. Her Majesty and her Royal Consort occupied the gallery above, while the nobility and attendants were arranged below. Mr. Rowell, from Buckingham, presided at the organ, and Mr. Smith, the librarian, officiated as clerk. At about half-past ten the Prince, accompanied by the Duke of Buckingham, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Jersey, the Marquis of Chandos, Lord Orkney, Colonel Bouverie, Captain Carrington, Lord Delawarr, and Mr. Anson, repaired to a battue which took place at Gurnsey-hill, and Paper-mill Spinny preserves near the mansion, which had been rigidly kept this season for the amusement of his Royal Highness, should he, as was . fully expected, honour Stowe with his presence. Beaters, to the number of about fifty, under the command of an experienced hand, were made to enter at the extreme end of a thick cover, while the shooting party were sta tioned in positions from which the game might most conveniently be destroyed as they were driven forth into the open space of the park. Out-scouts were appointed to drive back the hares which issued forth before the sportsmen took up their positions. It was barely possible to place his Royal Highness in the most favourable position, although he seemed to have the most fortunate one. So plentiful was the game, that abundant opportunities for displaying his skill were afforded to every gentleman of the party. Imtnediately that the beaters received the word of command they marched forward, keeping so close together, side by side, that their sticks might have touched. A regu lar " running fire" instantly commenced upon the devoted hares. Out they rushed from every quarter— so many that it was often impossible to " stop" more than one out of half-a-dozen. The ground immediately in front of the shooters became strewn with dead and dying ; within a semi-circle of about sixty yards from his Royal Highness the havock was evidently greatest. The gun was no sooner to his shoulder than the animal was dead. In other cases wounded hares vainly endea voured to limp away, but every provision had been made to avoid the infliction of prolonged; torture. Keepers were in readiness to follow up and kill such as were maimed. LADY WILLOUGHBY'S DIARY—NEW EDITION.

It was curious to behold the evident reluctance with which the hares left their retreat, and then their per plexity at finding themselves so beset without. Many actually made for the canal, and swam like dogs across a piece of water nearly 100 yards wide, shaking themselves upon landing, and making off without any apparent dis tress. The pheasants were still more averse to " come and be killed." For some time not one appeared above the trees. The cocks were heard crowing like domestic fowls, as their numerous tribe retreated before the sticks of the advancing army of beaters. Upon arriving, how ever, at the verge of the wood. quite a cloud ascended, and the slaughter was proportionately great. The total amount of game shot by the party was 200 hares, 100 pheasants, and 1 snipe. Prince Albert shot 114 hares, 29 pheasants, and the only snipe killed. The Queen walked out several times into the private grounds, expressing at each time her admiration of their beauty. She afterwards took a short drive about the park, in the direction of the shooting, and returned with the company to luncheon. Throughout the afternoon her Majesty visited the ob• jects of attraction in the extensive grounds of Stowe. These are well known to all who have ever visited this domain. In one or other of these two cases, and oven should the insult be offered at Tangiers, you should spare that town, which contains a number of European inhabitants, and you will confine yourself to the destruction of the exterior fortificatons which defend it. The dinner party this evening will comprise all those who dined last night, except Lord and Lady Southamp ton, Sir Thomas Aubrey, and Mr. and Mrs. Ilobarts, There will he the following additions:—Mr. Barnes, the High-Sheriff ; Mr. Smith, the Mayor of Buckingham ; Sir Thomas Fremantle, M.P., and Lady Fremantle; Sir Harry Verney and Lady Verney; :and Sir John Chet wode, M.P. Jullien's band will be in attendance this evening, in addition to the band of the Life Guards. Last night the town of Buckingham was brilliantly illuminated. The Market-place, in particular, looked very beautiful. Every house was illuminated, some splendidly, and the Town-hall was a blaze of light. But you may without hesitation visit the just ven geance of France upon Mogadore and the other points of the western coast of Morocco, after having given notice to neutral vessels to quit the port before the com mencement of your attack, which may then be prose cuted with the utmost vigour. During your presence before a port which you are attacking, and during the course of hostilities, you may avail yourself of your right to prevent neutral ships from supplying the enemy with arms or ammunition. You are aware, Monseigneur, that it is at Larache that are ordinarily assembled the ships of war which be long to Morocco. As soon as hostilities shall have been declared, you will take measures that none of those ships shall escape. :The fast sailing of the Belle Poule and others of your ships, the swiftness of the Pluton, and the number of guns you have it in your power to direct upon any point of the coast, lead me to hope that all the Moorish ships may fall into your power. Whatever may be the complications which may result from the difficulties existing between Morocco and other European Powers, you will not interfere in them, and you will confine yourself exclusively, Monseigneur, to re dressing the grievances of France. OLYMPIC THEATRE. It is not very frequently that we have to record a first appearance on any stage ; still less frequently does it fall to our lot to record a successful first ap pearance on any stage. Rare, however, as such an occurrence may be, it took place at this theatre last evening, and in a Shalcspearian character too. Miss Emma Moggeridge was the fortunate debutante. She appeared last evening for the first time in public, in the character of Katherine in Shakspeare's Katherine and Petruchio, and was most successful. This young lady possesses many of the natural requisites for suc cess in the profession which she has chosen. tier figure is good, her features are expressive, and her voice is clear, and will, when she has acquired that perfect command over it which nothing but practice can give, be sufficiently powerful to fill any theaire. Her enunciation is very distinct, and her reading is correct. As might have been expected, she was exces sively nervous at first, but as she became accustomed to ta w tu,h : lt::.:nn. augur ihtohesret the stage she gained confidence, and the last two acts were very effectively given. It was evident that she thoroughly understood her author, and entered fully into the spirit of the part. Her Katherine is a very e We cannot close this notice • lady-like ier a' f i d utu p r r e oli' careerisi n g \ , v P a 3 , f a er s rof e g m r r c e n e N e l l a' t l h c n e , e t I: N v Na' i e t p n h u ds N a v arsi rich well e e supported of d ry h b u y m l o l u o r x b y i, l a s last even,iing. which She was stage.

The house was crowded. If it should happen that ships belonging to nations at war with Morocco should prepare to attack Tangiers, you should dismade them from doing so, and you should, under no circumstances, join with them in any operation of that nature. I should not conclude, Monseigneur, without recom mending to your attention and respect our Consuls at Morocco, and particularly M. de Nyon, Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires at Tangiers. Ile is one of the most honourable and distinguished agents attached to the Department of Foreign Affairs. Invested with an important trust, difficult at any period, he fills it with zeal, courage, and talent ; and existing circumstances, which render his position still more serious, give him new titles to your interest. He is worthy in every re spect of the esteem and kindness of your Royal High ness. Moreover, the consideration which you may show towards the King's Consuls will have an ex tremely good effect, by elevating them in the eyes of the Moors, and by giving more efficaciousness to the action they are called upon to exercise for the advancement of our policy. According to the instructions addressed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs to M. de Nyon, and to our different agents in the ports of Morocco, each of them will, on the arrival of our naval division, hasten to pro ceed on board the ship on which your flag shall float. But the formal intention of the King and of his Council is, that your Royal Highness shall not land in person on any point of the coast of Morocco, except in case of u landing of troops for purposes of war. In fine, Monseigneur, if you should learn either at Oran or at Tangiers that our differences with Morocco are completely arranged, and that France has obtained the satisfaction she required, you will send to Toulon the expeditionary troops ; and you will not the less con tinue your cruise, without separating from your squadron, in order to exhibit the French flag on th e principal points of Morocco P.S. I send you hereto annexed a copy of a dispatch which the Minister for Foreign Affairs has addressed to M. de Nyon, and which contains instructions,based upon the last accounts received from General de Lamorici6v, relative to the attack of which our troops were the object on the part of the Moors on the 30th of May.

HINTS TO MATES AND M I DSIIIPM EN.— The gun -room officers of the Albion recently applied to the commander of that ship (Climbers) to know where they were to stow their live and dead stock, fowls, ducks, sheep, lambs, and milch cow; and not being satisfied with the answer that officer gave them, they addressed themselves, by letter, on the subject to Capt. Lockycr. We apprehend that officer, being of the old school, was equally at a loss to know how the new school was to be accommodated in the matter, and to solve the problem he enclosed what would formerly have been called the cock-pit letter to the Admiralty. Their Lordships answered quickly and determinedly by dis persing the whole of the Albion's gun-room mess into the brigs now about to proceed to various quarters of the world.—Hampshire Telegraph.

With great satisfaction each Englishman learns The improvement displayed in the quarter's returns. And the Government hails this addition, by which The public exchequer will soon become rich. The fiscal returns which have lately been made Are proofs of decided improvement in trade. Many arch politicians have tried to discern Tee cause of £0 pleasing a quarter's return. Some ascribe it to this cause, and others to that, But none of them seem to know what to be at. Had they look'd at the thing as they ought to have done, They'd have found that the cause is K MOSES and SON. Such a happy addition would ne'er have been got, But for those whom we name—most assuredly not The Dress Mart of MOSES confers on the nation, An amount of advantage beyond calculation. Their clothes are so cheap that the public are able To purchase additional needfuls at t ible. And thus the good reader will cleatly discern How the increase is made in the quarter's return. By MOSES this p'easing return has been won, Then make a " return" to E. MOSES and SON, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

IN RE CHARLES CARUS WILSON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The SOLCITOR-GENERAL, with whom were Mr.Wortley and Mr. Smith, appeared to support the rule. The Learned Gentleman, after arguing at considerable length botk the grounds on which the rule had been obtained, drew a distinction between the writs of habeas corpus which were judicial as the writs ui habeas ad respondendum, ad testificandum, &c., which it was allowed would not run into the Channel Islands, and the great writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, which he would not contend the Court had not the power of issuing. But the writ, in this instance, was not the latter writ, but what was called the writ of habeas corpus ad fueiendum et recipieNdurn cum causa. If, then, those writs did not run into the Channel Islands, and it was not contended that they would, it the gaoler of Jersey, in obedience to this inferior writ, brought up the body of Mr. Wilson, he could certainly bring an action for false imprisonment. They were then in this position, that if they did not obey the mandate of the Court they would be liable to such proceedings as this Court had the power of ordering to enforce obedience, and if they obeyed, there could be no doubt that Mr. Wilson could bring an action fur false imprisonment. This was a case of the most vital importance, because the Court was now called on almost for the first time, perhaps for the very first time, to issue a writ of this kind, and the Court would hesitate before it placed them in a position from which, do what they could, they could not extricate themselves. Mr. PEACOCK said that this was a new point altoge ther, of which they had no notice, but the Court would see that the terms of the present application were to show cause why the writ issued in pursuance of the rule obtained by him should not be set aside. On the 6th of November a writ of habeas corpus issued out of the Court, directed to John Cantilch, the gaoler of Jersey, a copy of which was annexed to the affidavit, but they did not say that was the one issued in obedience to the rule, and of course the Court would presume that the writ had been properly issued in obedience to the rule. — The SOLICITOR•GENERAL said that it was not stated that the writ issued in conformity with the rule, but that it issued in pursuance of it. It was, no doubt, a writ of habeas corpus cum catifi, and as such the Court could not act upon it. Lord DENMAN—I don't understand you, Mr. Solici tor-Gene•al, to cantend that the Court has not power to issue a writ ad subjiciendum? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL--Certainly not, my Lord. Lord DENMAN—I don't see how you could do so. And I suppose you don't contend, Mr. Peacock, that a writ of habeas corpus cum cause would ru❑ into Jersey? Mr. PEACOCK—NO, my Lord, I do not. Lord DENMAN—Then there is nothing at issue. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL-It has been over and over offered to admit Mr. Wilson t. bail, but he is so ena moured of prison that he has refued these offers ; and there was no doubt, if the writ issued, the result would be that the prison doors would be opened to Mr. Wilson, and he would be at liberty to walk out. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—What do you say to that, Mr. Peacock? Mr. PEACOCK said that Mr. Kelly was not present, and he did not know how to act. He would ask for some time, to consult with Mr. Kelly on the proposal of the Learned Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL did not offer the suggestion as a proposal; he had every reason to believe, in fact he knew, that if the writ issued that would be the result ; but if Mr. Wilson was so enamoured of prison as not to leave it, he must make application for a new writ. Lord DENNAN said:that the first consideration, that with regard to the power of the Court, was now settled. As to the other point, the discretion of the exercise of that power by the Court, it would be well if the matters could be arranged without coming to a decision upon it. The matter had better stand over till Monday. If the parties were equally hostile on Monday, Mr. Peacock could move for a fresh writ if the present one were quashed, and further time would be allowed for the second rule obtained by the Solicitor-General. FRANCE AND MOROCCO. We continue to-day the publication of the docu ments supplied by the French Ministry to the Cham ber. The following dispatch contains the instructions given to the Prince de Joinville, upon his assuming the command of the naval expedition against Morocco. It will be found to contain a full exposition o: the French case against Morocco : ADMIRAL DE iIACKAU TO TUE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. Paris, June 16, 1844. Monseigneur,—By virtue of the last deliberations which took place in the King's Council, at which your Royal highness assisted, the every day increasing im portance of the mission which has been confided to you has given occasion to the adoption of new plans, of which I have the honour to apprise your Royal Highness. It has been decided, that in order to avoid any loss of time, if the course of events in Africa should render military operations on the coast of Morocco necessary., it would be desirable that your Royal Highness should proceed there immediately, at the head of such an im posing force as to be able to act according as circum stances may require. The King, by the advice of his Council, has in conse quence determined that the naval division to be as sembled under your orders should be composed of the ships of war Suffren, Gemappes, and Triton, of the fri gate Belle Poule, and the steam-frigate Astnod6; the steam-boats Pluton and Rubis, and of another vessel of from 130 to 160 horse power, to be hereafter named. and that moreover there shall be embarked on board those vessels ten companies, viz., a company of engi neers, two of artillery, and seven of marine infantry. I wrote yesterday full details on this subject to the Mari time Prefect at Toulon. The Count de Fitte de Soucy, Inspector-General of the Infantry of the Marine, is about to proceed to Tou lon in order to preside at the formation of the expedi tionary corps and at the assembling of all the materials of action, which are to be embarked on board the vessels. As soon, Monseigneur, as all your preparations shall have been completed at Toulon, you will lose not a mo ment in proceeding to Oran, where you w ill pl ace your self in direct communication with Marshal Bugeaud, in order to ascertain the real state of affairs. You a c are to ac t i li ll e ai pre ofn sei glnreur, with our p os iti on in reocco. The ex c it emen t which prevails there with respect to us, the consid era bl e spe ( e n m tQd i M° A , o assemblages of Moors and Arabs suddenly formed in the neighbourhood of Tlemcen , the assistance whi c h th e Emperor Abderahman appears to wish to afford openly to Abd-el-Kader, the summons which he has made to us to evacuate, under pain of an attack, a portion of the Algerine territory recently claimed by the agents of Morocco, the necessity for holding ourselves ready for every contingency, and, in fine, the unforeseen attack which took place in our territory on the 30th of May last—all these facts have suggested to the King's Go vernment the adoption of the measures taken to reinforce our troops in the province of Oran and for the dispatch of several ships of war into the waters of Morocco. Our position is note ssentialiy changed. Sufficiently difficult and complicated since the conquest of Algeria, it has become aggravated recently, in consequence of the incidents which could not have been foreseen ; the in trigues, ever active, of Abd-d-Kader in Morocco ; the assistance, more or less notorious, afforded to him in order to make war against us ; the refuge which was granted to his adherents on the frontier of that country, and the aid which they found for their machinations against us ; our reclamations and our complaints con stantly made ; different incidents on the frontier, parti cularly the collisicns between our troops and the Moorish auxiliaries of the Emir—all these circumstances created a state of affairs sufficiently compromising between France and Morocco. Nevertheless, the Sovereign of that empire, however friendly he was in reality towards us, appeared at least to feel that it was his interest to maintain the same state of peace as formerly, by not carrying matters to extremi ties. Uneasy on his account with respect to the ambi tion of Abd-cl-Kader and his moral influence in Morocco, and at the sympathy which he receives there as the de fender of Islamism—attentive to the intrigues of the fans. 5 1 , e S ~r , ~ ~ i x - r THE GRAND DUCHESS OF MECIAII4" NB ) STRELITZ.

Sir,—Another year has passed away, and still the old question remains unanswered--What is to be done for the navy? No one seems to know. We must, therefore, assume that the question is unanswerable; but another arises in its place—What is to be done for the country? We havo a war establishment of naval officers in time of peace, and we have not employment for one-twentieth part of the number that are upon the list; every one seeking:employment, and no employment to be found. The navy has advoeates enough, but the country has none. The navy may say, " Why don't you reward us for our services?" but the country has a right to say, " Why don't you give us an active list—a set of men who are young enough to do their duty, and able to face every danger by night or by day—in a tropical climate, or in the frozen regions, instead of encumbering the list with men too old to serve, to the exclusion of the young and active?" An officer who is not able to serve has no business to remain on the active list of the navy; and age, generally speaking, is the fairest test of vigour and activity in the naval profession. Now, Sir, what is the present state of our Navy List? We have 168 admirals, of all ranks, and not ten of the number are under 60 years of age. We have 717 captains; take the first half of them, or those taking rank down to the_year 1826 in clusive; and there are not 50 of them under 50 years of age. Take the next half, and there are more of them over 50 years of age than under. The lists of com manders-and lieutenants each bears the same proportion. Is this justice to the country? Of what age was Nelson when his most glorious actions were performed? He died a vice-admiral at 48—the question needs no answer. We are now at peace, but who can tell how soon we may be plunged into a war ; and can the old officers on the list suppose they could endure or stand up under the hardships they were exposed to during the last war? They may flatter themselves that the fire of youth is still unextinguished, but they will be disappointed when they come to put it to the trial. No one can desire to see those old officers on the captains' list set aside with out some consideration, for that list contains a host of as noble spirits as ever breathed ; but we cannot remain always young, and as we grow old we should be willing to make way for the young and active, who can serve their country better than we can. We should therefore be willing, one and all, to sacrifice all personal interest for the good of the country, and those who are too old to serve should acknowledge their inability, and voluntarily • retire. Where could there be a better commencement than with the list of admirals, who are most of them 70 years of age and upwards, many past the natural age of man, three score years and ten? This is worthy of con sideration in a personal point of view ; but what an injury the country is sustaining by the present list of the navy, from the lists being so crowded with the old! We are keeping fine ambitious young fellows as lieute nants who ought to be commanders and captains, and other fine young men for years as mates who ought to be lieutenants and commanders. There is no denying that these are the men we must trust to to fight our battles in the next war, and what is the consequence of the present system? These young men are getting disgusted with the service for want of due promotion. They are losing their ambition, and numbers of them are leaving the service. Now comes the question—What is to be done for the country? What ought to be done may be told in a few words. The old officers ought to bend to the ne cessities of the country; they ought to volunteer a re tirement to make room for the young. There ought to be a retired list and an active list of every class of officers in the service. Of the 168 admirals, let every one above 60 years of age retire; let as many as remain of that num ber under 60 years old be made full admirals ; give those that retire 100/. a-year in addition to their present rate o f p a y. Take the captains on the list down to the year 1820 inclusive. Let those who are 55 years of age and upwards retire upon 2s. a-day, in addition to their pre sent rate of half-pay ; let all the remainder, being under 55 years of age, be made vic e an d rear. admirals, . Of the remainder of the list of captains, let all those above G 5 years old retire upon 2s. a-day, in addition to the present rate of half-pay ; the rest of the list will be found a fine active set of fellows, not young enough to run their heads against a post, nor too old to work. Let the list of commanders and lieutenants go through the same ordeal, and we shall have what is much to be desired—an active list of the navy. Thus we should reduce the list of ad mirals to about 100; the list of captains down to about 350; and commanders and lieutenants in the same ratio. This suggestion may appear startling at first sight. to those officers whom it immediately concerns, but they will find what I say to be pretty true—that an officer of 55 years of age is too old to command a ship for active service. Ponder on these words well, Sir, and let us have your ccmment upon them ; you have ever been a staunch friend to the navy, take up the cause and show us what you can make of it, but be fair to the country. Jan. N. A N OLD CAPTAIN. An incendiary tire occurred on 'fuesdav, on Mr. J.
