Heta.• left h , the room. Arelieve that I have correctly stated stances of those interviews. I tlid not mean Sir V' , suppress the copies. I have no recollection of hi ." ;3, he must send them in. I remember that I reps• , ately the substance of what p assed to a Mr. B t 7.. •• .:1 ? man in the office. I have ascertaine d his reco • statement, and it is in accordance with that whi stated. I was surprised when I heard that Baldwin's statement. I have further to notice po evidence of Captain Milne. I quite assent to Calrlialibibit statement, that I requestedhim—and it was imme. my conversation conversation with Mr. Briggs to " smooth matters over" with Sir Baldwin. I adopt Captain Milne's expression. I cannot, however, adopt Captain Milne's word " mediate," if it be intended to imply that such mediation was between Sir Baldwin and myself, or that it was to induce Sir Baldwin to suppress the copies. Sir B. Hall—Are we to understand that you neither saw the letter of the 21st of April, '52, nor were aware of the ex istence of such a document till the 23d of November,? Mr. Stafford— Yes ; it remained with Admiral Parker, who had received a discretionary power from Sir Baldwin Walker in the matter. I went to the duke, and he said that the sur veyor would not remain, and that if he resigned there was no person to fill his place ; that if he went Admiral Parker would foll9w him, and he (the duke) did not know how they could get on with the business of the Admiralty. I said• that any imputation would be removed, and there Admiral Parker's evidence takes up the thread of the story. Sir 11'. Ball - Did the duke allude to Sir Baldwin's resigna tion having been tendered ? Mr. Stafford—No ;he said the surveyor was very much annoyed, but 'mentioned nothing about his having tendered his resignation; and I have no recollection of that being discussed. No oue talked of it for fear of raising the subject,. Lord . Seymour directed Mr. Stafford's attention to trio terms of Admiral Parker's evidence, in which he stated that the letter of resignation was made the subject of conve.: sation at an interview between them and Sir Baldwin Walker. Mr. Stafford—The question_ of resignation was not dis cussed. 'Lord Seymour—Admiral Parker said that he remonstrated as to the rescinding circular not being brought under the notice of the board; and that the Duke of Northumberland agreed with him, and yet you say that you had the concurrence of the board Mr. Stafford—l cannot say what passed between Admiral Parker and the First Lord on the subject, but I had the cognisauce an d sanct i on o f t h e l atter to what I did. The ,Admiralty act as a corporate body, and are in the same posi tion towards their secretary as the Commandei-in-Chief is to the Secretary -at-War. The signature of the secretary was necessary. and I never heard of an instance in 'which a First Lord had overruled the whole office. Vacancies are Aomet* es filled up in the dockyard without my knowing hoW—as, for instance in the case of labourers. Mr. Grant, an officer in the civil department of the Admi ralty, and who had acted as secretary to Admiral Dundas, to Admiral Stewart, and to Mr. Stafford, described the routine of appointments with reference to which, when vacancies oc curred, the surveyor might recommend that they should not be filled up. He knew of no instance where such a recom mendation had been made, and the vacancies filled up not withstanding. It had happened that Mr. Stafford had filled up vacancies which had been previously supplied by labourers without his knowledge ; but he had a perfect right to do so. With reference to the promotions on the Bth of May,'lo names were submitted by the superintendent, and five selected, in strict conformity with the rules of the office. In the case of the man selected for the appointment of writer after two years' service, in preference to the man who had served thirty years, Mr Stafford had ascertained from the Commodore Superin tendent that the former was more suited for the situation. With regard to the appointments of the five men, the surveyor had reported that the vacancies would be required shortly for 15 shipwright apprentices, but the report had been mislaid, and could not be found. Lord Seymour (addressing Mr. Stafford)—Why did you pro ceed to fill up these vacancies after such a representation ? Mr. Stafford—Because the Commodore Superintendent re presented it to be necessary. Lord Seymour—Did you send to the surveyor any reply to his remarks ? Mr. Stafford—l really don't remember ; these things were coming every day. Lord Seymour—But it was not every dav that the surveyor was remonstrating. Mr. Grant, with reference to the promotion of Ridgeway as acting first-class man at the metal mills, said Wiled been re presented at the Admiralty by Sir Frederick Smith that the superintendent of the dockyard had recommended a private hand with the view of passing over Ridgeway, who was senior second-class man, and had been 39 years in the service. He Was in consequence appointed acting first class on 'probation. Lord Seymour—Was this acting in accordance with the re gulations of 1847 ? Mr. Stafford—Yes ; because they say nothing about intro ducing men from the private trade. Lord Seymour—Did not the superintendent report that Ridgeway was incompetent ? and is it consistent with any circular of the Admiralty to put any man into an office who is not fit for it ? Mr. Stafford—l wrote to Captain Richards the following letter on the subject : (" Private and Confidential.) " Her Majesty's ship 14triblition, off Portland, April 11, 1852. " Sir,--I fay:appreciate the motives that didtated your letter of the Bth. .1 T)ie 'appointment of Ridgeway must now go forward, and. if he is found incompetent to perform the duties-of his situa tiou, i# yrill of pour‘e , clev,elgpe.upon you to report officially to that effect.—l remain, &c., _ " AUG. • STAFFORD, • " Captain Iticharda,.C.B., R.N.• I did not unsure Cap tau} .and - Admiral Parker was wrong in saying, so,. • Lord SeyrAottr—Was' Captain - Ttldhards acting politically against Sir , Frederick Smith? Mr. Stafford—l believe that political influences were at work. Captain Richards was alwayg looked On as one of the strongest political partigans in the yard. I could not say that he was taking part in the election, but, if so, he -was acting in defiance of his duty. I did not think:the incapacity of Ridge 'way so made out as to deprive him of the benefit of a proba tionary promotion, and no report wWs made against him dur ing the 6 months he was on trial. Lord Seymonr—Must not the effect of disregarding his re ,orts have been to discourage Captain Richards from sending ul O ,5 7m t,lb .e :1—I think not. If he felt that he had nop.been properly :rcated he might have addressed the board, and oue or two isolatOd cases give an unfair view of the way in which his recommendations were generally received. Lord Seymour again directed air. Stafford's attention to Sir Baldwin's letter to the Duke or Northumberland, and with reference to it Mr. Stafford said, when the duke told me that he considered it confidential, I was sorry that I knew of the existence of a letter whiCh brought grave charges against mo that I. had no power to answer. Lord.Seymour—Could you not have gone through the cases of promotion, and brought them under the notice of the First Lord 2 Mr. Stafford—l did so confidentially. That I vindicated my character is shown by his Grace not making the letter public. The duke did not ask for an inquiry, but determined at once to make the letter private. To have made it public would have involved a public inquiry. Lord Seymour—Did it not occur to you to prepare a re port ? Mr. Stafford—No ; but I believe I asked the duke to make it a public letter. He declined, however, saying that I had no right to suppose I had ever seen it. Sir B. Hall—Did you press the point urgently ? Mr. Stafford—l simply asked him. I could do no more. Sir B. Hall—Did he say it would be inconvenient for the public service ? Mr. Stafford—He did not give me any answer. I was new to office, and any mistakes I made at first I corrected as I gained more experience, becoming more in accord with the general feeling of the superintendents. At this stage of the proceedings the committee adjourned, and the examination of Mr. Stafford will be resumed (to-day) with reference to the case of Wells. The sale, by auction, of the immense territory of the Western Australian Land Company, announced by Mr. Robins to be held on Thursday next, is, we perceive, unavoidably postponed until Tuesday the 31st inst. _ _ The extensive landed estates in Lower Canada of the Gasp 4 Fishery and Coal Mining Company, announced by Mr. Robins to be sold on the 2d of June, present strong temptations to enterprising capitalists, especially when it is known that railway communication is about being established between these properties and Quebec and Montreal, and from thence to the United States.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile trregu'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery In youth, degradation itt manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired minutes crud disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitution's) Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost ertire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be vlolated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the s' ing of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of act( ace cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long serif is of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatmen t of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified r bysician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical a nd mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of t he public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grad* of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too :generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and tit/ es, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have indicted seri oas injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

MUSEUM OF INVENTIONS.—The movement in favour of the establishment of a museum of inventions that has been commenced in many of the chief seats of manufac turing industry in this country is cons tantly extending itself; f ur th er memorials on the subject having just been addressed to the Government and tho Royal Commis sioners by Glasgow and Sheffield, signed in both cases by all the leading inhabitants of those towns. The Sheffield memorial was presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the president of the commission, on Thursday last, by the Mayor, and that from Glasgow on .Saturday by the Lord Provost and a deputation. They express the opinion of the memorialists that such an institution has long been needed, and that it will command the zealous support of all who take an interest in the industrial development of this country. It is un derstood that the Commissioners of Patents, with whom the Board of Trade has entered into communication on the subject, are fully alive to its importance, and that Professor Woodcroft is under their directions making every exertion, and with great success, towards collect ing such models of inventions and works having refer ence to them as may form a nucleus for the contemplated National Museum and Library of Inventions at Kensing ton. Temporary accommodation will be provided by the Patent Commissioners and by the Royal Commis sion, until the question of the erection of an appropriate building for the due display of the collection is decided. MRS. H. BEECHER STOWE.--The Duchess of Suther land has invited a large number of ladies and gentlemen to meet Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe at Stafford House on Saturday afte moon. We understand that it is the intention of this talented authoress to make a short sojourn in London, and then to visit the Continent, where it is hoped her delicate state of health will be im proved. From all parts of Britain letters and invita tions are continually sent to Mrs. Stowe ; but it is be lieved that she will return to Scotland in September, and afterwards be the guest of Major-General Sir pun can M‘Gregor, in Dublin.—.3lol l iirg Advertiser. THE LATE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. Yesterday the committee who have undertaken this inquiry met again at eleven o'clock, and resumed the examination of witnesses. The attendance of strangers and of members of the house was quite as great as at the previous sittings. Mr. George Cotsell, muter smith at Chatham, said that he had held that post for seven years ; that previously he had been two years first foreman at Devouport, and before then twenty-three at Portsmouth, where he had served his appren ticeship. He took only a humble part at the last election at Chatham, having attended some convivial meetings and pro posed Sir Frederick smith's health, but never having can vassed any electors. He denied having canvassed a voter named Bowring, and did not even know where he resided. When Mr. Stafford was down at the dockyard lie had taken an opportunity of talking to him in the smithery about his removal to Portsmouth. Witness reminded him of the appli cations which ho had made to that effect, and hoped that his 30 years' standing in the service would entitle him to the favourable consideration of the Admiralty. Mr. Stafford pro mised him that his claims should have due consideration. He had never said that Mr. Stafford had prornissd him positively, but he might have expressed his belief that he would succeed. Having b seen the appointment of a person named Wells in the newspapers, and heard 'of it also by letter from Portsmouth, ho went to town and called on the Admiral* about it. He, however, saw no one on that occasion. Subsequently he received a letter from Mr. Pierce, who was in the Admiralty, informing him that the appointment of Wells had been sus pended, and that till the return of Mr. Stafford, who was then out of town, nothing could be done. He then went and saw Mr. Pierce at the Admiralty, but Mr. Pierce did not show him Wells' warrant of appointment, nor did he inform him that he (witness) was to be appointed instead. At Devonport and Portsmouth he had never taken part in election proceedings, nor had ever until the last occasion recorded his vote. He had known Sir F. Smith for six years in connection with Chatham Dockyard, and he promised him his support with out being asked for it. Mr. Thomas Scott, relieving officer of the Chatham Union, spoke to a conversation which the last witness had with him about his transfer to Portsmouth, in the course of which he said, " I don't mind telling you how it occurred. When I saw the appointment in the paper I went to the Admiralty, 'and saw a friend of mine there, who said to me, There is the ap pointment of Mr. Wells unsigned. You are just in time. You will hear no more of that,' and put it in his pocket, say ing, You will be all right, old boy."' Witness believed that the hope of reward in some instances, and the fear of losing promotion in others, induced people in the dockyard to vote sometimes on the one side and sometimes on the other. Mr. Pierce, clerk in the Admiralty, said that he wrote to Cotsell on his own responsibility when he found that Wells had been suspended. To the best of his recollection he saw Cotsell before he was himself appointed, but after writing him, in Mr. Grant's room, and when he (witness) was officiat ing for him, the unsigned warrant of Wells' appointment was lying on the table, but he did not show it to Cotsell, though he might have said it was there. Mr. Cotsell was here recalled, and amused the committee by a rather pompous account of the reasons which induced him to seek a transfer to Portsmouth, where it appears his salary stood the same as at Chatham. It was, he said, a point of honourable ambition for a man to seek to be master where he had served his apprenticeship, and it was a curious circumstance that when he was apprentice at Portsmouth, the then master smith made him sit down in his chair, and told him never to rest satisfied until he had attained that position. For five years previous to his interview with Mr. Stafford he had been an applicant for the situation, to which he believed his long and faithful services entitled him. Sir Baldwin Walker handed in two letters to be added to his former evidence by the permission of the writers, since obtained. They are as follow : " Dockyard, Devonport, April 27, 1852. "My dear Walker,—We have a foreshadowing' in this yard of a return to the corrupt and dishonest practices of the past. The policy of our late excellent and most respected chief, that so largely sustained and encouraged officers in my situation is east aside ; and I confess to a sense of humiliation. "J. B. SEYMOUR." The second letter is from Captain Richards, Superintendent of Chatham-yard, and is dated " April 9, 1852." It runs thus : "My fears point in the same direction as yours. In the Ridgeway case there can be no mistake, and, if it be persisted in, the order of the 27th of February, 1847, must be con signed to the tomb of all the Capnlets. The order for the promotion runs, Joseph Ridgeway, second-class man in the metal mills, is to be appointed acting first-class man in the existing vacancy.' Now, as lie is a second-class leadinn. man, I can only understand it as to be acting fi rs t class leading man, for which there is a vacancy, which the said Ridgeway wants; and reports have been current in the yard for some weeks that he would get it. " My letter of the Ist of March recommended an entry from private trade, as neither of the inferior leading men are competent for the position.', 'Ridgeway is ione of these in .ferior or second class-leading meni and if he tarries his point he will be , raised to a ,station. for which his officers tieclare ' • to - be incompetent, and even , more—that he is not the best of the men we have. . ' " In 1849 he tried his hand at a political rise through Ports mouth influence, and was put to rights by Sir Francis Baring's orders, narrowly escaping dismissal. Under these circum stances I have put the order in my desk, and written to Mr. Stafford privately and confidentially stating the whole affair quietly, but I hope firmly. There is an immense stake on the issue, for if we are beaten we shall be overrun by a swarm around us, who are promising everything in the yard to their friends. I have no difficulty in saying that it would be far better to pension Ridgeway on 1001. a-year than to promote him after all that has passed, and which is publicly known in the yard." Mr. Stafford was then called. He gave his evidence with great self-possession, and said—l was appointed Secretary to the Admiralty on the 3d of March, 1852, having never pre viously held' any official appointment. . Sir B. Walker's first statement has reference to a conversation he had with my private secretary, Mr. Grant. I shall content myself w - :th stating that I did not send Mr. Grant there on the errand Sir B. Walker describes, and shall leave Mr. Grant to speak for himselffl rfirst circumstance r c a u s m t t lv n h c a e t actuallyreferred to which did occur i ch baetaiV a d the iantt s e si i w y . The letter of the 2d of April, 1852. I was induced to write that letter, I have no hesitation i n say i ng, i n consequence of the receipt of repeated communications that the appointments and promotions took a direction invariably hostile to the existing Government. I desire to call attention to the last paragraph. To that letter I received in reply what I hold in my hand, and which, with the permission of Sir B. Walker, I will read " Somerset House, April 3, 1852. "My dear Sir,—ln reply to your letter respecting the great dissatisfaction which exists among your political friends, as to the present arrangement of appointments and promo tions in the dockyards, I can only refer you to their Lord ships' circular of the 27th of November, 1847, by which you will perceive that, unless these regulations are withdrawn and fresh ones substituted, advancement on political grounds is totally impossible, if the superintendents of the dockyards perform their duty. It is needless for me to disclaim having favoured any political party, for you will clearly perceive, on reading the existing regulations, that merit alone can obtain advancement. With reference to that part of your letter in which you state that there seems no alternative but to re sume the system which existed previous to September, 1849, I have to observe that it was only resuming a system which had always been in force prior to 1845, and was then discon tinued, I have reason to believe, on personal grounds. It is for their Lordships to decide whether they will rescind the order of September, 1849, which has been the means of caus ing an amount of reduction in the wages of the dockyards of upwards of 10,000/. ; but if it is, of course the surveyor will be deprived of that controljwhich is so highly necessary, and can no longer be held responsible for keeping the establish ment under the estimates. I have now stated the case frankly, and I beg you to believe me, my dear sir, very faith fully yours, " " Augustus Stafford, E sq ., M . P . BALDWIN WALK& x. , &c." The committee will observe that in that letter Sir Baldwin Walker himself states that if the regulations of 1847 remain unaltered, advancement on political grounds is totally im possible if the superint en d en t s of dockyardsperform their duty. I may menti on th a t the officers to whom Sir Bald win Walker referred as controlling, in conjunction with the 1 847 regulations, the a d vancement of merit alone had all been appointed by ou r po liti cal opponents. Sir B. Walker is, I believe, correc t i n stating that he had an in. tery iw with me on Ap r il 6. H e states that at that interviewe I said, " There is no use in blinking the question ; I am so pressed by the Government that I cannot help myself." Also at Q. 127 h e adds, qualifying the word Go vernment, that I mentioned the names of Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Upon that statement I have to observe—and the observation holds good with regard to all my evidence—that, as I never kept any note or memo randum of any conversation on the subjects now under consi deration of this committee, it is very difficult to pledge my self to the precise accuracy, either affirmatively or negatively, of any particular word. I believed, and still believe, that it is usual in official life to speak confidentially, and, because confidentially, without reserve. If the matters debated at the Admiralty were not arranged satisfactorily to all parties, the board was the proper place, so to speak, of appeal. This view, and, as you will see hereafter, the apparently satisfa,c tory,,termina.tion of the matter, leave me unable to speak with certainty as to expressions, but I have of course a thorough recollection of the state of things at the time. There was no pressure put upon me either by Lord Derby or the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; but what I believe I did state was, that the pressure upon me from members of my own party was very severe, and that the Government of Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would_not, any more than any other Government, permit all patronage to be in the hands of their political opponents. I should desire, before Igo further, to explain exactly to the committee the dockyard code of 1847, and the circular of the 26th Seitemlier, 1849. The first was a code making advancement depeld' on merit alone. That has never been interfered with by any subsequent cir cular, and remained in operation during the whole of the time I was in office. The second, of September; 1849, applied to the transfer of control to the surveyor, and it was to that alone that the circular of 1852 referred. The Auckland code was left unaltered. I believe that documents exist in the Admiralty which show how that , transfer of control took place. Lord Seymour—Did you MAO Mr. Grant to.r B. Walker? Mr. Stafford—Mr. Grant , went to Somerset-hOuse to see his father, who holds an appointment there, audit is very likely I might have told him to ask Sir Baldwin for papers, bui, I have no remembrance of it. Lord Seymour—Did you not send him-with a request not to submit names for promotion ? Mr. Stafford—l never sent him with any such request. • Lord Seymour—ln your letter of the 24 of April to Sir B. Walker you referred to an impression that appointments and promotions were given to political opponents;--did . you before the you wrote that letter consult any of that authorities of Admiralty I Mr. Stafford—l did not consult any Of Llie Lords of the Admiralty. I acted on the r esult of inqUiries in other quar ters, and from numbers of le t t ers which' had received. Many of these were sent to me in confidence; and somefrom members of Parliament belonging to my party. Lord Seymour—Did you inquire into the PortlooloA of them? Mr. Stafford—One of them was the case of Ridgeway, which I consider a strong one. Lord Seymour—But your letter is dated the 2d, and Ridge way's promotion took place on the sth. Mr. Stafford—lt was rather the cases of promotions that were withheld than those that were made that were com plained of. I made a great number of promotions from the Ist of March to the 2d of April.

THE INCOME TAX. 4,Z HOULD this portion of the Budget pass, Income Tax must be paid by millions now exempt; yet it will then be useless to " look daggers " at the Tax, though many persons will regard it as a great" bore" for penetrating their pockets and their earnings —a character often given to other articles of daily consumption called Taxes. None needs waste flesh by useless re pinings, fcr the sacrifice may be easily and pleasantly survived by agreeable retrenchments, in which much is gained and nothing lost; and even if the Tax is paid, as annual gain may be accumulating, which will constitute a respectable fortune for Individuals and Families.

Lord Seymour—Did you put aside recommendations coming through the surveyor, and womote others? _ Mr. Stafford—Not in many instances. When I had signed the appointments of A. and B. in the morning, and went down to the House, it was there represented to ale that C. and D. were more deserving. Lord Seymour—Did not these letters convey a censure on the Surveyor-General, which should have been inquired into? Mr. Stafford—l think not. The bringing forward of these cases would have subjected individuals to a system of petty tyranny which no Lord of the Admiralty can prevent. Lord Seymour—Then you took the complaints for granted, without inquiry ? Mr. Stafford—l took the number of complaints as a justifi cation for issuing the circular, but I am free to own that I did not then attach so much importance to that document as 11. , s been given to it since. So long as I left the regulations of Sir Henry Ward and Lord Auckland untouched I did not think I made much change ; and I consider that my letter of the 2d of April was an act of courtesy to Sir Baldwin Walker. The first thing I had to inquire into when I came into office was .. .he amount of my patronage, and I was told that the patronage of the do c ky ar d s was under the secreta y. I never heard Sir Baldwin Walker charged with any political bias in the discho.rge•of his duties. Lord Seymour—Did you not convey an impression to Sir Baldwin Walker that the previous Government wished Zo keep the patronage of the dockyards through au arrange ment made by themselves ? Mr. Stafford—l thought the best way to manage the ques tion was to come into direct communication with the dock- yards. Lord Seymour—lf you believed that such a system had been devised was it hot your duty to expose it ? Mr. Stafford—l was not sure that it could be exposed, though my mind was sufficiently convinced to make me alter the existing regulations. The superintendents of the dock yards were all appointed by political opponents, and had it been otherwise my motives might be more liable to suspicion. Lord Seymour—Then you distrusted the surveyor's-office ? Mr. Staffordlt was represented to me that iu that office there were relations of people who were in the dockyards, and that other causes of promotion existed besides political ones. I found also that there existed a great deal of pro fessional jealousy in the dockyards. If I had gone into an inquiry on such matters it would have been endless ; and while I considered there were grounds for altering the regu lations I did not think they were sufficient to justify harsher proceedings. I consulted the First Lord about cancelling the order of 1849, and the tone of his Grace was that he left the Baldwin Walker says that no dockyard department Lord Seymour — Sir promotions were made between the 3d of March, when yJu took office, and the 2d of April, when you wrote to him on the subject. Mr. Stafford—l cannot say without reference to the books. I think there were some ; I will not say many. I made the alteration on account of the complaints of my political friends. Sir Baldwin Walker—l have no power over the first ap pointments into the dockyards. I merely submit names for advancement. Lord Seymour—The letter of the 2d of April, then, was issued rather on account of the representations of your friends than on actual facts ? Mr. Stafford—There were a number of names of peop:e who had been passed over. Lord Seymour—Did you not consult Captain Milne? Mr. Stafford—No, I did not. It might have been bettar if I had done so ; but I found that at the Admiralty -2,,thilg was more jealously watched than patronage. Lord Seymour here read the following letter which he had received from Mr. Talbot, the Earl of Derby's private secre- tary : " May 2, 1853, House of Commons Committee-room. "My Lord,—l have been desired by Lord Derby to attend the committee this day, and to inform you, as chairman, that unless the committee be perfectly satisfied that his lordship brought no undue influence to bear upon Mr. Stafford, with reference to the dockyard appointments, he would wish to be called upon to give evidence before the committee. It would probably be right that this should be made public, but I will not do so without your permission.—l am, my lord, your obedient servant, " W. P. TALBOT. "The Lord Sekmanr." It would be premature, his lordship added, for the committee to give an answer at present to this communication, because they were not able to font an opinion whether the noble earl's attendance would be required or not. Mr. Stafford then resumed his evidence, and said—Obser vations have been made by the witnesses who have been exa mined as to the issue of the circular of the 19th April; 1852, addressed to the superintendent of each yard, without any order or minute of the board. I have no difficulty in dealing with that point, In the first place, I put in now the board book of that date, by which you will see that the circular of September, 1849, was not issued by a board minute, and, according to precedent, required no bonrd minute for its cancelling. I put in, also, the general minute-book of the respective dates, by which the committee will see that the circular and its cancelling were dealt with in a similar manner. This cancelling circular was issued with the cognisance of the First Lord, and I may refer the commit tee to the opinions of the present First Lord, expressed the other night iu the House of Commons, as to the official cor rectuess of the course adopted. ' I now come to the evidence with reference to Sir B. Walker's letter of the 21st of April, which appears in the Parliamentary return. It seeme that it was addressed to me, as Secretary of the Admiralty. It was not, however, given to inc. I never saw it. In fact, I find it stated at question 3,452, Chatham E., that Sir Baldwin gave it to Admiral Parker, not to me. It certainly never reached me. If there is any complaint of its not ma:ling the board, the fault does not rest with me. Sir B. Walker states that Admiral Parker took the letter, after it had been read in Captain Milne's presence, and told Sir Baldwin that he (Admiral Parker) would bring it before the board. I had no communication with Sir Baldwin, or Admiral Parker, Dr Captain Milne, and was shown no letter. Sir Baldwin says that he thinks on the following day, which would be the 221, ho was asked by Admiral Parker to meet me on the subject. My impression is, that the meeting did take place on the 26th. That, however, except for the sake of accuracy, is compara tively immaterial, as there is no doubt that Sir Baldwin, Ad miral Parker, and I did meet, and at that meeting the circular of April 19 was discussed. On that occasion I was shown no letter. lam clear as to that ; indeed, lam confirmed as to that view by the evidence of both Sir Baldwin and Admiral Parker. Sir Baldwin says—" Admiral Parker had my letter in his hand during the interview." Admiral Parker says—" I did not read the letter on that occasion." Sir Baldwin Welker complained of the circular of April 19 as a personal reflection. I assured him that nothing of the kind was intended, and offered towrite anyprivato letter he pleased,deeming at the Moment that that was all he required. When,however, he answered that as the circular was public any document removing the imputation on himself should also be public, I directly replied that there could be no possible objection. A draught of a further circular was made and read to Sir Baldwin Walker, and after some mei& cation to his satisfaction was assented to by him. The draught I refer to is that of the circular of April '26. It is material to notice hero, in confirmation of my former state ment, that the Auckland regulations have never been propos:A to be interfered with, and that iu this circular, issued to sa tisfy Sir Baldwin, it is expressly set out that no such rut )ra tion had existed. My impression of the whole affair vb - Le.,, that Sir Baldwin had felt that the circular of April 19 had con veyed a personal imputation, which ho desired• to have re moved, and which, as it never had been intended, I dc sired should be removed, and about which he was satisfied ; y the circular of the 26th. That impression seems to have been entirely shared by Admiral Parker, as I gather from his letter of April 11, 1853, which I read in the House of Commons. 1 never thought more of it. Sir Baldwin, however, further states, with regard to that interview, that I repeated those observations which he states I made at the interview April 5, that it was of no use " blinking the question," &c. I ob serve that Admiral Parker's evidence is silent on that point. For myself, I can only repeat the remark I made before on the other occasion on which I am stated to have used these words. So far as my knowledge or thought about the matter went, things remained thus until November, on the 21st of which I received a notice of questions from Admiral Berkeley —and on November 23 Admiral Berkeley and Sir G. Techell put the two questions to me—first, whether there was any correspondence on the subject ; and second, whether Sir B. Walker had tendered his resignation. On the 22d, the day previous, I wvote a private letter to Sir B. Walker, sending him a copy of Admiral Berkeley's notice, and asking to what correspondence it referred. Sir B. Walker states that he could not find the copies at Somerset-house, but they were probably at Whitehall. On the reciept of that note, or previ ously, I made every search, and found no letter, or traces of any ; consequently, the following evening, in the House of Commons, I :answered "No" to both questions. I have before stated that I had never seen or been told of Sir Baldwin's let ter of resignation. Admiral Parker has told the coma nittee that he did not show it to me or road it to mB. He has also told the committee that he destroyed it 4. That evidence gives the reason, both why Ido Hi know it, and also why it could not be found when I pearched on the 22d of November, as, in fact, it did not exit L. Sir Baldwin states that ho found the copies in a dispatch box at home. He does not say when—if it was that night or the following morning. He might have supplied m e with the en before the evening of the 23d, when I was called upon ti > give the two answers. Sir Baldwin states, quite truly, tl hat on the 25th November, two days after my answers in th( House of Commons, he wrote the letter to my self, as secret: try, referring to his letter of April 21 and May 10. I menti on the letter now for the first time, as the com mittee may of serve. All that I know or knew of that letter was this: the :Duke of Northumberland showed it to me in the strictest co nfidence. I need not mention to the committee the regret whit sh I feel, in my desire to lay all the facts be fore them, in rt ;foiling them to a letter which I am obliged to say in the sane a breath was shown me in the strictest confi dence. I read I it, however, and returned it to the duke. i Sir B.
