It appears that the Engine commenc'd conversation, In a whistling tone, from a principal station : " What think you," said Fury (for that was its name), "Of the Nan; Ouse of MOSES, that favourite of fame; My traffic's increasing each day and each hour, And I can't keep it under In spite of my pow'r ; Ev'ry station I have, ev'ry train that I run, Is somehow connected with MOSES and SON ; My trains are all crowded—first, second, and third, Through the number of favours on MOSES conferr'd, And my baggage vans always are cramm'd to excuse, YVith ev'ry description of elegant dress ; think that the companies ought as in one, To vote th e i r warm t h an k s to E.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE Dt WIiYARDS. The following circular Las just been to the Admiral, and Captains superintending her MAjesty's tiockyards:— Sir.—l am directed by the L , )rds Commissioners of the Admiralty to inform you that they bare felt them , selves compelled to take the condition of the dockyards under their most serious consideration. The subject is one of great magnitude. The vote for wages and salaries in her Majesty's establishments at home and abroad, under Nos. 6, 7. 8, and 9, has averaged 810.664/. during the last four years. It is a censtlintty increasing vote. The vote for 1843-4 was 779,386/. The vote for the current year is 951.886/. The vote for stores (ineluiline steam nsa.chiner) ) for 1846 7, arnou ited to 1.694,152/., and that for buildings and new works, 526,8101. The machinery already in existence in the dock and victualling yards is increasing annually in value, and large additions must be nude to it, as the steam factories at Portsmouth, Keyhatn, and strays, ad vance towards completion. No reduction in this branch of the establishment is probable or possiide, for the steam factories must keep pace with the growth of the steam navy, which again is determined by considerations of nazi. tial policy. As yet provision has been made only for the ave rage annual repair of machinery of 20,000 horse power, out of a total of 40,000 horse-power; and every succeeding Board of Admiralty has recognised the in convenience, bad economy, and peril in the event of war, of allowing these repairs to be limited to the single factory at Woo:wich. But the greater the extension, present and prospective, of the dockyards, and of the steam factories iu connexion with them, the greater is the necessity of securing in them the most care ful and efficient management. Upon such an expendi ture, the smallest savings are important ; and in spite of the improvements already engrafted upon the old system, by the appointment of engineers to take charge of the machinery in the yards, and to relieve the Maser-shipwright from 'duties which did not come within the sphere of his ordinary avocations, in spite of the large and useful changes connected with the department of the Director of Works, which have also reliessd the yards from the maintenance of the buildings, and the more recent improvements, to which my Lords expect that the recommendations of the committee of metals will give rise, by placing all matters connected with comer ard iron under a special superin tendence, and ensuring the early introduction into the Government yards of the best modes of working adopted in private establishments, still much is left to be done before a satisfactory result cen be arrived at. In saying this, my Lords do not wish to imply that they take an unfavourable view of these great national establishments. They have much satisfaction in acknow ledging the good moral tone that prevails amongst the artificers generally, and the excellent quality of the work performed by them. On the other hand, they think that there is abundant evidence to show that the quantity of work done is below the standard of well-conducted private establishments, and that there is great room for improvement in the application of both stores and labour. Their Lordships will net entertain any general charges of indifference to ex pense on the part of the officers, or of inertness en that of the men; and they are equally unwillng to dwell upon representations made to them of the effect of po'iticel feelieg ir. *erne of the 3 ards upon the course of pretinoii n. though they can conceive testeing mere dan gerous to their dtscipline, if true, or more detrimental to the public interest. T' cy wish to look foreard—not to look back—their object being to intr. , duce a system that may inspire every man with the oebef that his conduct will be known end appreciated by his uperiers, and that however humble his position originally, his future fate depends upon his own exertion, Their Lordships see too much reason to apprehend that such is net the present state o: feeling in the dock yards ; but that the rise from shipwright to 1, ailing man, and from leading man to inspecter, is regard d rather as a matter of accident or favour, than as a reward due to merit, and to be dispensed upon plain and equitable principles. They feel that wherever such am impression prevails subordination must he weakened ; and they have consequently resolved to lay down one fixed and intelli gible rule of promotion for all classes, as the b- st foundation of that more vigilant arid intelligent superin tendence which they regard as indispensable. For the discipline of the yard, like the discipline of the ship, depends upon the petty officers; and no exer tions of the admirals or captains superintendent, or of the master shipwrights can compensate fer the want of a hearty co-operation on the part of the inspectors and leading men, to whom the care of the separate gangs is confided, and with whom it rests to enforce a proper economy in the use of the stores and materials issued for the work going on under their superintendence. It is necessary, however, as the first step towards this extended responsibility, to remave all just causes of complaint amongst that class of officers from whose exertions benefit is anticipated. My Lords have, there fore, duly considered the petitions presented by the in spectors of the different dockyards. They find by these that with a salary of 1001. a year they arc expected to maintain the station and authority of officers ; that in 1833, when the pay of the inspector was fixed, the work men were only employed five days a week, whereas they are now employed six days, for which the workingman re ceives one -sixth more wages, but no additional allowance i h sni a ns s np b et, elelte3o,nrtmbi is de bound ui t in o i t e h gt e eo i nspecto r. The men, too, have occa obfe i n working at muneration whatever, extraalthoughtetnhdehours,w ithout when any the ins pector ee wages earned by the men when upon task work are fully equal to his pay, and the pay of th e l ea di ng man exceeds it. The old quartermen, whom the inspectors replaced, received 1801. a year, with a gang of twent y-five men and boys under them. The inspectors, with only 100/. a year, have forty men and boys to superintend, for all whom they demand the stores and materials required for their daily labour. Their pensions, too, are regu lated by the scale of 40ths, not of 12ths, like those of other salaried officers in the Customs, Excise, and Ord nance, by which they are considerable losers. Indeed, a leading man of long standing often refuses to he made an inspector, because his superannuation mould be les sened by his promotion; from a similar cause, the men who would be best qualified to undertake the duty (the head draftsmen in the mould loft) decline it because their pay being 7s. a day they would necessarily lose by the transfer. The superintendents of the dockyards, and the master shipwrights, have equally without o n e exception re corded their opinion that justice and economy would be consulted by increasing the pay of the inspectors ; and the late Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr. Corry, in a minute dated the 9th of July, expressed his unqualified concurrence in this view, and recommended that the salary of inspectors should be raised to 125/. a year, being half the amount given to the officers next to them in rack—the foreman of he yank Taking the number or inspectors at 108. whose annual pay amounts to 10.800/., this mieht 1) , - accomplished at a cost of 2.7001. But my Lords are unwilling to incur any additional charge, u ,, lesi as a part ,t an improved system, and with that improved system they. 1)0:eve it would be wise to be more liberal, end to pr Nile a class of inspectors at 150/. a year, a, an intermediate step be tween the inspectors at 125/. and the foreman at 250/, in order that promotion may not be too long delayed, arid that prompt reward may stimulate to constant ex ertion. They hsve, therefore, been pleased to sanc tion the following regulations, with the double view of introducing that fixed and intelligible principle of promotion amongst the men, and that more vigilant ans. intelligent superintendence. which they think ess- ntial to the proper administration of the dock yards, and they do th's under the relief that in so large and complicated a system it is only by an improved tone of feeling amongst all classes, and Le Leading indivi duals to see that their own advancement depends upon a scrupulous discharge of their duty to the public., that a substitute can be found for that personal and pecuniary interest which is the mainspring of exertion in private establishments. ADMISSIONS TO YARDS.-NEW REGULATIONS FOR ADMIE. SION AND PROMOTION IN HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARDS. Apprentices.—lt is the intention of their Lordships tc leave the admissions to the yard very nearly upon their present footing, taking in a certain number of appren tices annually, whose names are to be entered by board order upon the superintendent's list on the recommenda tion of the yard officers, allowing the apprentices out of their time, whose conduct has been satisfactory, to fill the first vacancies upon the establishment, and reserving the rest for candidates of their own selection, upon a proper report of the character and circumstances of those who present themselves. Educational the annual choice of appren tices, due regard will be shown to the recommendations of the superintendent and th e yard officers, where they relate to the children of deservng artificers; but, in ad dition to the physical tests already required, no boy is to be admitted after the 31st of March, 1847, who is not able to read and write well, or who bas not some know ledge of arithmetic. My Lords reserve to themselves the right of directing e e n t educational e thebo test ad the children of persons out of the yard, Whom they s deem entitled to this privilege, to be entered u l p ey on ru t a l : list from which the apprentices are to p h re e v s i e d l e e d ete b d y ; but oe e in all cases they will req m u it i o r l e re t ai h nn e ttae s gl a lei m gs raertpodatrhaet schools for fo r the the adms7n. T tlt h e3Pd e list of apprentices is to be made out by the super intendent,the aster shipwright, and his assistants, in monthtfie mof January in every year, and they aro to state in a written report to the board their reasons for every recommendation, the t.el vices of the fathers, the cha racter given of him during the past year by his leading man and inspector, the cause of his death, if (as it some times happens) the candidate is the son of a widow, end any other fats that may entitle the boy to their Lord ships' favourable consideration. If twenty apprentices are to be entered, forty names must be sent up (end so in proportion for a larger or smaller number), and Out of these their Lordships will select the proper individuals to be admitted. Board Wages for Apprentiees.—Board v.aecs n for ap prentices will be granted, hereafter , so l e l y upo the re commendations of the tunerintendent end of the utile( rs of the yard, who will take care to use them as an encou ragement to merit, with a due regard to the circum stances of each family, which must be stated to their Lordships by the superintendent, when h e arpliea fur their sanction, Schools.—The improvement of the dockyarti scho..l: has been long under the eons-414:1.16,n of the Adiei . rally The most intelli gent officer. from the yards admit the good effects which they are already producing, but it is evident that more might be done by a , ditiotial omens • ragement and better organisation. The circular issued by the late boat d on the 27th of June, 1846, has given stimulus to exertion, by insuring to the best scholars in each school the means of completing their education free of expense, and of thus qualifying themselves fur the higher branches of the public service. E ght boys will be selected annually for this purpose, when the sch-ols have come into full operation, arid those whose conduct at Portsmouth has been satisfactory will, at the expiry tion of their time, be re-admitted as leading men into the yards, and favourably noted for promotion. • Bet these are the exceptions. For the great majority of the boys who continue in the schoels, the proper career is the mould loft, in which the master shipwright will take care that the most promising boys are trio d successively, and in which those who show most talent for drawing, and most assiduity in cultivating it et home, should be fixed ultimately as draughtsmen, with the condition, that out of each three vacant inspector ships one shall be given in future to the head draughts man, provided his testimonials be satisfactory, and that he has worked at least one year at his tools at the shi p' s side. This will ensure i n the mould loft a regular course of promotion, and give to the yard a succession of inspectors well i ns tructed both in the scientific and practical part of t h e i r duty. Apprentices Out of their Tim .—No apprentic e who has served his ti me i s to b e en tered upon the establish ment without a written report from the master ship wright, transmitted through the superintendent, as to his conduct and qualifications; and this report is to re fer specially to the character given of the apprentice in the weekly returns by his leading man and inspector, to which the school report will hereafter be appended. Ws entry upon the yard books, w!-.,en out of his time, cannot be claimed as a matter of right, but will not be with held without just cause and proper investigation. PROMOTIONS. But whatever men find their way into the dockyards as apprentices, or by board order, it is their Lordships' determination that once there they should learn to look to themselves alone for promotion. With this view, I am commanded by their Lordships to desire that, taking the existing staff of foremen, inspectors, and leading men, of iihipwrights, joiners, caulkers, &c., as the me dium through which the change must be wrought (suh ject to certain modifications, which I shall state after wards), you will immediately organise a system of weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports, upon which all future recommendations are to be founded. NrW STI , vALING OF THE. YARDS. Four Leadn,g 'Men under each Ito,pector—Twel , e s•hipwrights under each Leading Man—Sub Lroadirg h the intention of my Lords to place fi , or lead ing men under each inspector, and to assign to each ading man a gang of twelve artificers, with the proper proportion of appreuim,s. The leading man will hlm self select a sub-leading man, ~ ho will take charge of portion of the gang when employed on separate service, and who will be answerable to him for the expenditure of the stores and materials. This sub-lending man will receive no additional p ;y. and will continue to work as an ordinary artificer. but his conduct is to he sae cially noted in the weekly returns, and if satisfactory, it will he taken into account when his own time comes for promotion. The yards are to be " shoaled " afresh (no reserved gangs being on any account permitted) for the purpose of carrying out this plan ; and as the number of inspec tors will be reduced by it, acme of those least qualified by age, health, or other circumstances for the discharge of their new duties, are to be recommended for super annuation. Casual Sickness—Absence on account of.—As a fur ther evidence of their Lordships' desire to raise t'.a conditions of those officers from whom they look for more active co-operation, they are pleased to order the discontinuance of the abatement now made from their salaries when absent from sickness, under medical certificate. Re-establishment of " Measurers" OfEce.—lt is the intention of their Lordships, as a check to extravagance in the use of materials, and in order to bring the work actually done to a proper standard, to re-establish the " Measurers" office introduced in 1809, by order in Council, upon the recommendation of the Board of Naval Revision, assigning to it what it had not before, a control over the expenditure of materials as well as over the application of labour, and placing the office itself upon a more economical footing. They are convinced of the necessity of having in the dockyards, where the works are so extensive and the business so complicated, a sys tem of keeping accurate accounts, and of checking the issues of stores and materials ; and they conceive the means oft ffecting this may be found by employing in each of the larger yards four measurers, who, with four shipwright-writers, will form, under the master-ship wright, au office for the measurement of work done, the formation of estimates for repairs, and the statement of actual expenditure. Where any of the old " sub-mea surers" remain in the yards they may be selected for this duty, wilt the pay of inspectors of the second class, and permission to retain their pensions. Where there are no sub measures, intelligent and practical men will be ap pointed as measurers, with the pay of inspectors of the first class (1.50/.), and furnished with instructions, which be given in a separate paper. SYSTEM OF WEEKLY AND MONTHLY RETURNS, Weekly Returns.—Using the forms that will be'trans mitted to 3ani for this purpose by the storekeeper-gene ral, you will direct each leading man to prepare, in his own handwriting, a weekly return of the conduct of the men composing his gang, which he will hand over on the Monday morning to his inspector, stating in it, on the one hand, any causes of complaint that he may see rea son to make against the men for waste of stores, neglect of work, insubordination, or insobriety; and on the other, his opinion of their respective merits. Inspector's Report to Foreman once a Fortnight.—The inspector to make these returns once a fortnight to the foreman of the !, and under whom he is more immediately serving, a ecempanied by remarks elso in his own hand ariting, and stating whethsr. in his judernent, the lead ing we n had done their duty sitisfactorily ; and the fore men whose business it is to make themselves personalty wept kinted with the character and conduct of all who a ork under them will, in like manner, transmit the inspector's reports and returns on the , Ist of every month stating how far their own to the master shipwright. opinion confirms the character given of the gangs by the leading men and inspectors. Both the foremen and inspectors will include in these returns the singla station men placed tender their orders, who, with the artificers, form the class out of which the leading men are to be selected. Other single station men are to be reported upon in like manner by the offia r under whose immediate orders they are serving. Caro must be taken not to permit these returns to lapse into a matter of form. The superior shipwright effic.rs must investigate them closely at the end of every month, and the inferior officers and leading men will he noted at the Admiralty, according to the ability dis played in them. Mode of Recommending for Promotion as Leading Men.a-•It is their Lordships' intention that the weekly return made originally by the leading man should pass on to the master shipwright, with the remarks of the inspectors and foremen attached to it; and whenever a vacancy for a leading man occurs, the.ster shipvvright, with his assistants, will lay before the superintendent tl e three names which they recommend for promotion, stating in writing the grounds of their recommendation, and producing the returns upon which it is founded. It is the duty of the superintendent to investigate closely these returns and recommendations, and if he see reason to suppose that they have not been prepared with per fect impartiality, to report the same to the Admiralty. Examination.—He will also direct the candidates to be examined in his presence by the master shipwright and his assistants, in those matters which are essential to the proper performance of their duties ; for my Lords are convinced that no man can exercise a moral power over others who is not superior to them in ac quirements; and they are consequently most desirous that officers, even of the lowest grad.,, should possess a professional knowledge above that of the workmen. Qualifications of a Leading Man.—To be a leading man an artificer should, in addition to a thorough prac tical knowledge of his trade, be able to write a legible hand; he should understand arithmetic, as far as vulgar and decimal fractions; and he should be well acquainted with the details of forming and combining the different parts of a ship, and the various methods used in trim • ming and fastening them. Upon all these points the superintendent will draw up a report, which he will transmit to the Ad m ir a lty, with the origesterinal do ship cume wright nts annexed to it, sub m itt e d t o hi m by the En and having r e d uce d t h e li st o f can didates to t wo, b y omitting the one he thinks least qualified, one of the names thus sent up will be appointed by board order to fill the vacancy. Promotion from Leading Men to Inspector. —Monthly Report of Forem en on C on d uct o f I ns pectors and Leading Men.—My Lo r d s regar d i t as t h e peculiar dutofy the master shipwright, his assistants, and the foremen of the yard, to watch over t h e con d uct o f the leading men and the inspectors, and they desire that on the Ist of every month the foreman will prepare a report upon the hem effi ciency or inefficiency of th e officers serving under t , , which is tee be kept in the master shipwrights e have. stating any grounds of complaint that they may against them, and any pereieular cause of a greatr r ,uch as the increased efficiency of labour. satisfaction, economy in the use of stores, or stance which they may think conducive to th b e ie better s ny other cae conduct of the week for which they are responsil Repsrte of Foremen on Officers to b e se e . t C:4_ti t tr: terly to the Admiralty, Originals not C . op e l s es• wh -' i 3 Lords intend to see these reports themselves, s of the are to be sent up quart( sly, with the re.tetairie promo master shipwriuht attached to them, an d ton of foreman to the rank of ress , on sh im ipwright's assistants will depend very much u ;s o t i e l st ; p thus given to their intelligence and capsell):• • When a Mode of Recommending for an inspectorah vacancy for an inspector occurs, the master lP s . bilTh rri g ht will select from the leading men, and from the mould loft, the names of the individuals whom he thinks most competent to fill it, and submit them tot iee supe . ri . r . iterident with the reports of the foreman, upon which his recom mendation is founded. The superintendent, in addition to i these, will call for the reports made by the inspectors to I he foremen, and pay particular attention to the retinfircn.atsric-, pared by the leading men , as we ll as the qii!l t 't e. of the draughtarne n who are pu t in nomination, as these ought to furnish proof of their seal and intelligence as subordinates; and having satisfied his own mind as to the fitness of the individuals submitted tee him for the office of inspector, and as to the fairness with which they have been selected, he will, as in the case of the leading men, direct them to be examined, in his presence, by the master shipwright and his assistants. Qualification of an Inspector. -Tobe an inspector a man should write well; he should understand arithmetic as far as vulgar and decimal fractions, and be able to measure plane surfaces and cubes. Ile should likewise understand laying off ships on the mould floor, and the details of formi n g and combining the different p arts o f ships, the vari ous modes of fastening them, and the cor rect method of taking account of work. Report of Superintendent.—The superintendent will advert to all these points in his report, stating his own opinion of the capacity of the candidates; and having reduced the number to two by striking off t h e name of that candidate whom he thinks least qualified. One of the two names thus sent up will be selected to fill the vacancy. Pay and Duties of Ins p ectors.—M y Lords having taken into consideration the case of the inspectors, are of opinion that they have a just ground of complaint in the smallness of their salary, and in the slowness and uncertainty of their promotion. They wish to see their inspectors take their proper place, as a class of intern gent and independent officers, u p on w hose exertion the discipline of the yard mainly depends, and wh o h ave i t in their power to repay the public a hundredfold for any encouragement that may be given them, by increased vigilance in the discharge of their duties. Increase of Salary for Year beginning April 1, 1847. — My Lords, therefore, have determined to make provi sions in the next estimates for increasing the salaries of inspectors from 1001. to 1251., for the year beginning the Ist April, 1847 ; and they are also prepared to recom mend that, on the I st of April, 1848, a fi rs t c l ass o f inspectors shall be formed with a salary of 1501., which is to be composed of one - fourth of the inspe c t ors in each yard, whose names they will themselves select in the first week of April, 1848, rifler a careful examination of the quarterly reports made during the preceding twelve months by the foremen and master shipwrights. My Lords reserve the right of satisfyin g themselves by personal inquiries, or in any other w a y that they think proper, as to the intelligence and services-o'tutinY hr individuals to be thus selected. They will beguided principally by the proofs which thei r their superior officers may :tfferd of their . and capacity ; but they will in all cases se e k th e advice own zeal, 1, reports firmness. te • and concurrence of the superintendent before their cl'.oic , 2 is finally notified. FOREMEN OP YAM). The foremen of the yard are to be selected from the whole body of inspectors, assistant timber converters and measurers, giving a preference, under ordinary cir cumstances, to inspectors of the first class, but preserving the right to promote from the second class, upon a spe cial report, in cases of extraordinary services or melir. Vacancies how Filled.—When a vacancy for a fore man occurs, the master shipwright i.. t submit three names to the superintendent. who will follow in all re spects the rules laid down for the promotion inspec tors and leading men, taking care, however, that the eximination is conducted with due reference to the lugher qualifications required in this class of officers. Qualdication of Foreman.—To be a foreman. a ma, should have a competent knowle;'ge of simple equations, in algebra, and be able to vvork pr.ib!ems deJnoed from the three first books of Euclid. tie should also have a thorough knowledge of the mode of laying off ship,, upon the mould I..ft floor, and understand all the dill , -- rent methods of forming and combining them. These qualifications are to be stated in the report made by the superintendent to the Admiralty accompani. d by his own remarks, as to the ma , ner in which the candida es have discharged their duties as inspect.rs, and by the reports which they have themselves drawn up as to the conduct of the leading men and artificers v‘orking un der them during the preceilii,g twelve months ; and my Lords will then select one of the two to flit the va. cancy. GOOD SERVICE GRANT. Complaints of Foremen--Slown, as of Prom vim— My Lords are snare that from the slowness of promo tion amongst the foremen, owing to the very limited numb,:r of master-shipwrights' as,istants, there is no class of officers amongst whom there are to be fount harder cases of long services and unrequited merit. They cannot remove this disadvantage as regards pro motion, for that necessarily depends upon vacancies in th7 4 grades immediately above them t tley, will re commend to Parliament that, in consiiMtion of the im portant duties performed by tie forethen, a gratuity of 501. shall be given annually to one foreman in each of the yards, who will be selected by their Lordships them selves in April of each year, commencing in 1848, with due reference to length of service and general character as well as to the intelligence and integrity with which, upon examination of the quarterly reports, he may ap pear to have discharged the new duties with which the foremen are about to be entrusted. They regard this grant in the light of a good-service reward, to be given up upon promotion. Its renewal to the same individual will depend upon his continued vigilance and exertion. 3IA STEIt -SHIPWRIGHT'S ASSISTANT. Examination at Naval College and Yard.—When a vacancy for master-shipwright's assistant occurs, the master shipwright will select the three moat competent men amongst the foremen as candidates ; but no candi date will be considered qualified who is not prepared to e p q a s u s a t a i n o n e s x , a t h m e io n fi a r t s i principles of mechanics and hydrostatics. He will also n t s i x a t b o t o h k e s N o faEv. al lc Coll in itnh equadratic l be subjected to an examination in the yard, which is to be conducted in the presence of the superintendent, by .the master shipwright personally, as to all other matters required of his subordinate officers ; and he will be ex pected to be able to give designs for the construction of ships, and to explain the principles by which it is regulated. The superintendent will then investigate carefully the manner in which such candidate has performed his duty as an officer of the yard, and he will transmit to the Ad. miralty the original reports sent in by him to the master shipwright, in order that their Lordships may judge of his fitness for higher duties. The decision of the board will rest upon a full consideration of all these various circumstances ; but one of the three names sent up will be selected to fill the vacan c y un l ess an officer of still higher qualification shall be recommended from some other yard, who will, however, have to pass an equally stringent examination. OTHER PROMOTIONS. Caulkers, Joiners—Qualifications as Inspector and Leading Man, &c.—The forms to be observe(' in recom mending for promotion as inspectors and Vading 4.en of caulkerx and joiners are to be precisely similar, every recommendation being founded upon we, kly and monthly reports, which are to be transmitted to the master !.hip wright. But as there is not the same scope ,r cessity for instruction amongst these classes of artificers. the examination required for a leading man of shipwrighrs will be suificient for an inspector of caulkers or joiner-, and a man will be qualified to bee .me a leading man who can read and write wall, and ke,.p accounts cor rectly; provided the weekly reports be .r testimony to his industry, sobriety, and good c. n, wet in other respects. The same will be required of the foretm•ti and leading men of painters, and of the master smith, who. with a salary of 2501. a year, ought to be a man of some educa tion. His foreman should elso be able to read and write, and to keep accounts correctly, and my Lords intend to require this in all future appointments, both in the stunhies and as Lading men of labourers. TIMBER CONVERTERS. There is one other officer in ttTie dockyard with whe se position my Lords a r e not satisfied. his duties b: ing !sadly defined, and his reslm , n , ihility divided. The head thusqualified fi e i,( - 1 timber converter is, or ot . o be'lsmaan tof much x perience and great integrityp i.I 1t ; and a te connectedshould w havei with the the entirereceistupperr.ts:,etrevnadteitoince, and o of a e l o l n m ve a :s t i e , r i s i of timber, and th e timb er a b c o c a ou i nts, reporting through the ht y superintendent.ol the timber when to first brought yard,the qauned iunpgon it,thaes stacking i a n s g u au o d n other arrangements for preserv uthpeon any cases of improper conversion that he may discover. p Timber Inspector 4001., two Assistant-Converters at 1501.. and 1251., two Attendants at ss. per day.—My Lords are pleased, therefore, to if it d o drect that the head timber converter in eachproperly qualified, shall exercise henceforward m this general superinten dence with the rank of " timber inspector," and with a salary of 4001. in lieu of 350/. He is to have (as at present.) two sub converters under him, to be called " assistant-converters," who, with their two as sistants, will be employed exclusively in conversions at the saw pits end have the salary of first and second class inspector. But the general superintendence and conversion of the timber are to rest with the timber in Spector, and no timber is to be received by the store receiver without his certificate. In case of any failure in the contracts, or attempt to introduce into the yard timber of an inferior quality, or not due, or not in ac cordance with the contract, the inspector is to report the same to the superintendent, and copies of the repre sentations so made are to be sent to the Admiralty direct in order that my Lords may have the means of judging of the causes and character of his objections. When vacancies occur, the timber inspector will be selected from the foremen of the yard, and will be allowed one clerk to keep the timber accounts, being a charge and duty transferred from the storekeeper. REMOVALS UPON PRoMoTIoN. " Quarterly" Promotions of Foremen and In spectors.—Haying made provision for the more liberal remuneration of the foremen and inspectors, and having opened to them a field of honourable exertion in which merit is as certain to lead to preferment as any written regulations can make it, my Lords conceive themselves entitled to hold the services of these officers as absolutely at the disposal of the Crown whenever and wherever they may be required. They will lay down no general rule respecting age or reinova;s et the time of promotion, hut it is their ieten lion early to fill u p the vecanc:es up oe the list of fere / nen end inspectors once le every quarter, when the qua rterly returns from all the yards e ill be b. fore them. tied they reserve the right nt tr.f.tv,r,rr:flg 411 upon promotion to any yard where it is the tight tlini t hey reay prove moat uettful.

Inspectors will be required to serve twelve months upon probation before ther appointments are confirmed. My Lords have now only to call upon the admirals, captains-superintendent, the master shipwrights, and the other principal officers .of the dockyard; to assist them in working out this plan honestly. They have given sufficient proofs, by the surrender of their own patronage, of the sincerity of their desire to make these great national establishments what, they ceuz,ht to be. They have removed everything that can warrant a sus picion that preferment 'Will be the result not of service, but of political favouritism. They - wish every step in the advancement of a:.man to be known and marked by his fellows ; and they have laid down the rules that seem to them best adapted to ensure, in each stage, fair play to merit and industry. But the good or bad ' working of every system must depend, in a great measure, upon those who are entrusted with its admi nistration, and my Lords can only express their deter mination to mark with their severest displeasure every attempt to thwart their intentions, and to reward those who shall cheerfully second them by every proof of their favour and approbation. Feb. 27, 1847. H. G. WARD. PORTSMOUTH, MARCII s.—The Sphynx steam-sloop was towed into this harbour at ten o'clock this morning by the Echo tug, and was followed by the African and Monkey tugs, aab—Aitatat witlitthegairitawd : o4loismema! tion. The vessel waa not finally - extrThated from ` position until ten o'clock yesterday morning. The following is a description of the means which have proved successful in saving this fine vessel:—The plan de vised for this object was by means of "camels"--the proj.ct of Co - mmander Coffin, of the Sec urge steam-sloop, and Mr. Watts, the senior assistant-master shipwright of this dock yard—the buoyant power of which amounted to above 130 tons, brought under a strong frame-work constructed under her paddle-boxes; to this was added by Mr. Watts, subse quently to Commander Callin's leaving, another camel, which was brought under the head of the vessel, on which, at the extreme foremost end was erected a high framework for supporting the chain cables, hawsers, &c., used in heaving the vessel off; and to obviate or counteract this down ward pressure, at the end of the camel, next the stem, was fixed a fork formed by means of two stout pieces of fir timber placed a little more than the breadth of the stem asunder, and bolted firmly to the deck of the camel. This fork came un derneath two stout cleats fastened to the stem of the vessel, so that the downward pressure of the cables when hove upon constituted a power, at one end, of a lever to lift the bow of the ship at the other end. This was found to render most important aid in getting the vessel over the bank or reef of rocks, up to which she bad been brought on the two former occasions, but could not then be got over. This ledge has not more than s*x feet of water on it at high tide, whereas the Sphynx when lightened of everthing except her esiginei, drew 10 feet of water. The feat. therefore, of getting her over the reef is one of the most remarkable incident, ever re corded in naval science. ierstr m'led The ves:el appears very sound, and came into hlr:), - tir with flap; flying and the bands of the St. Vincent and V tc tory playing •" Rule Britannia" as she passed up to the ktty. She does not appear much damaged, but her defects cannot be easily ascertained until she is docked. v. - hich s ili he done, if posiibl^. to-morrow. The camels and raft of ea, , k, were attached to her sides and bottom when she came in. Va=t numbers of officers haze been into the dockyard to-day to witness this signal triumph of industry and perseverarce over circumstances the most unpromising. It is gratifying to add that everything connected with this event was conducted so skilfully that no accident occurred. It is anticipated tin vessel will not entail any considerable expenditure in her refit for service. . _ The Emerald tender sailed to-day for Plymouth with supernumeraries. The new Admiralty " Instructit.ns for Dockyards" em bodied in Mr Ward's (the Secretary to the Admiralty) ex planation to the House of Commons, on Friday night last, in the debate on the navy estimates, were read in this dock yard by the Rear Admiral Superintendent to the beads of the various departments embraced in the regula ions, and appeared to give general satisfaction. OetArllA3l, MARCH s.—The Charon steam-vessel, which arrived from Wo •lwich for the duties of this port, instead of the Fearless, proceeded yesterday, with the officer from the Pay-office, to Sheerness, and paid off the Dolphin three-gun brigantine, Lieutenant Miller, and returned to Chatham the same day. The marines from the Dolphin, seven in number, were put on board the Ocean, to be transferred to their ' division at Portsmouth. The Aid, Smilltnan master, sailed on the 3d inst., with stores for Plyniouth. The Goodwill, Pledge master, sailed on the 4th inst., with stores for Sheerness. Remains—the Rochester, Sedgwick master, loading for Deptford and Woolwich. Private James Seath, of the 37th company of the Royal Marines of this division, was tried by a general court martial on Monday, the Ist inst., for having, before being relieved, left his post when sentry over the commandant's door at the Royal Marine barracks, Chatham, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock on or about the night of the 6th of February, 1847,:and remaining absent until the morn ing of the 13th of the same month. The finding of sentence of the Court has been approved by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the prisoner sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour at the District Mili tary Prison, Fort Clarence, to which place the prisoner was removed yesterday. A code of new regulations has been sent to each of the royal dockyards, to take effect on the Ist of April, respecting the future selections of officers and men for the service. The pay of inspectors is to be raised from 1001. to 1251. per annum, and from April, 1848, one-fourth of the inspectors are to act as measurers, and allowed a salary of 1501. per annum. A new officer is to be appointed, to be termed " Surveyor.; • Timber," at a salary of 4001. per annum; and promotionia future is to depend principally on the scholastic attainments of the candidate. These new regulations are drawn up professedly to do away with political intrigue, which has been carried on by political committees to the prejudice of the service.
