Thomas Blackburn, a carrier, was charged with a misdemeanor in having exposed a glandered horse in the Neat Fair in Darlington, in November last, w e ll knowing it to be infected. The horse was in a very dis eased condition, labouring under a chronic form of the disease of eight or ten months' standing. Prisoner, in collusion with another person, had "swopped " the ani mal off to a farmer of the name of Scott, receiving 41. to boot. The horse had no appearance of disease when taken in exchange by Scott, which broke out after he got home ; but the veterinary surgeons examined, said it was quite possible to prevent the discharge from the nose for six or seven hours, by an act of great cruelty, viz., by putting a stringent powder or vitrol up the nostril. They said that the disease was highly infectious, both to cattle and human beings. Prisoner was found guilty. The chairman said that this was a very serious offence, and should be marked with a severe punishment, but as the only other case reported was punished with a fine, prisoner would be fined 151., and imprisoned until it was paid.

His winnings are put down at 12,1501., Lord Derby at 6,4351., Mr. Bowes at 6,1501., Mr. Greville at 6,0751., Mr. Payne at 5,8701., Duke of Bedford at 5,7801., Duke of Richmond at 5,740/. ' Lord Clifden at 4,900/., &c. In 1849 Lo r d Eglinton headed the list with 10,416/. ; in 1850 the Marquis of Exeter was at the head with 11,012/. ; and in 1851, Sir J. Hawley was in the same position with 15,360/. STRANGE DISCOVERY IN AN INNlBus.—Xesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Green Man, Shacklewell, respecting the death of a new-born female infant, which was found in an omnibus, the property of Messrs. Wellan and Co., ominibus proprietors, Kingsland. Joshua Zlott, ostler, in the service of Messrs. Wellan, was on Friday last at the Lamb Tavern, Kingsland, when an omni bus belonging to his employers, which starts from the Flower Pot, Bishopsgate-street, arrived at the stables. He proceeded to search the inside of it, when he found what appeared to him to be a parcel, which was tied round with a piece of linen. He untied it, and discovered a cigar box, which was wrapped up in a London Journal of the 28th February, 1852. He put the box on oue side, thinking that it contained cigars, and that some one would call for it. On Wednesday, as an unpleasant smell came from the box, and as no one had called about it, he forced the lid, when he found that it contained the body of a female child. He then gave information to the police. He had since spoken to the conductor to ascertain whether he had taken notice of any strange person who had entered the omnibus. He stated that he had not observed any one of whom he had a suspi cion. Inspector Da.rltarl, N division, stated that the ostler had committed an offence by not delivering up the box to the police when there was no owner for it. He had made minute inquiries who had entered the omnibus, but which had not led to the discovery of any suspicious person who had entered at the Flower Pot. Mr. Killock, surgeon, Stoke Newington, stated that the deceased was full grown, and had been dead five or six days. Verdict —" Found dead." THE GREENOCK MURDER.—On Tuesday James Denny Scott was tried at Glasgow, before Lord Cockburn, upon the charge of having assaulted and murdered with a razor his half-sister, Catherine Scott, aged three months. The prisoner though his counsel pleaded not guilty, and further, that he was of unsound mind at the time of the murder. The evidence was very simple. The prisoner was a shoemaker, and while his father and stepmother were absent, he took the child out of the cradle and cut its throat. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but re commended him to mercy on account of mental imbeci lity. Lord Cockburn, addressing the prisoner, said "The jury have convicted you of the crime of murder, but in consequence of your mental imbecility, have strongly recommended you to mercy. The court has no power to deal with the case—it is the Crown, and I have no doubt but the recommendation will have effect. How ever, I am not sure of this, and in the meantime the sentence of the law requires to be pronounced. It had been too common for prisoners who could persuade a jury of their insanity to escape, and I am glad th a t th e jury in this case had the firmness to find a verdict of guilty, with the recommendation which the circumstances warranted." His lordship then in the usual manner, with the exception of assuming the black cap, sentenced the prisoner to be hanged in Greenock on Tuesday, the 25th January, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock in the morning. His lordship further said, that, before the court closed, he thought it right to state publicly that this man had been for the whole of his life, and par ticularly for the last two years, in a state of insanity. One respectable witness had said that he was afraid his place would be set on fire from the conduct of the pri soner. He had assaulted his sister and his father, and committed various acts of violence. Representations had been made to the authorities, but nothing had been done. He did not mean to blame any party, but it was his intention, for his own sake, to submit the whole facts of the case to her Majesty's Advocate. SHREWSBURY AND ABERYSTWITH RAILWAY COMPANY. —A circular has been issued by the board directors of this company, from which we !take the following pas sages :—" The directors of the Shrewsbury and Aberyst with Company announce, with regret, that they have been unable to obtain a sufficient amount of subscrip tions to justify them in proceeding in Parliament during the present session. The directors attribute this result mainly to the apprehension of an expensive Parliamen tary contest, excited in the public mind by the announce ment of a rival line, and by seeing advertised among the patrons of that line the names of gentlemen connected with the district proposed to be accommodated by the Aberystwith Company, in support of which their names might naturally; have been expected to appear. The directors regret that the opportunity has thus been lost of constructing a railway between Newtown, Machynl leth, and the sea, and probably of securing to Montgo meryshire the route from Manchester to South Wales and Milford Haven. Under these circumstances, the direc tors resolved to withdraw their line for the present, and to co-operate with the London and North-Western Corn- N p a e n n y , o i n w ann, withe or t a t o branch o tai n joining n l i i n n g e t f h r o e m sh S r h e r w e w s b s u b r u y r y a I t , d o Chester Railway at Oswestry, and for which notices have been given, and plans deposited."

Mr. Thomas Thorburn, of Glasgow, states in his Annual Circular that— " The year 1852 will ever be memorable in the annals of the iron trade. After four years of unparalleled de pression—prices fluctuating, from the beginning of 1848 till the spring of 1852, between 475. 6d. and 365. 6d.— has followed an unprecedented re-action—a period of extraordinary activity—a rapid advance of fully one hundred per cent., and that too, in the face of an in creasing production, and accumulating stock. In 1847, I wrote—' It is to be feared, that if the price advance above 855., the export of iron, which was considerable last year, while prices ranged under 755., will receive a check. An accumulation of stock would thus follow, as in 1845.' " The stocks of 270,000 tons in the stores of warehouse keepers, and 180,000 tons in the stores of the iron mas ters, are chiefly held by English dealers and speculators, as was the case in 1845, when purchases then made, „ realised within 31 months, at a fall of 31. per ton, entail ing a loss, on one house alone, of upwards of 100,0001. " Though the stock in Scotland is augmented 90,000 tons, the aggregate stock throughout the world is considerably diminished. But the scarcity of tonnage, and the high rates of freight, which will undoubtedly prevail all this year, combined with the doubled cost of the article, must tend to stimulate the production, and enhance the profits of the iron masters in England, the United States, and continental Europe. Hence our home consumption and foreign exports will decline, as in the years wherein the prices ruled between 70s. and 80s. " The average value, per week, of the whole make of pig iron in Scotland was, in 1830, 8,0001.; 1840, 22,0001.; 1845, 36,0001.; 1850, 25,0001,; 1851,29,5001.; and, at 755. per ton, it is now 56,2501. per week." LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) IN THE MATTER OP OTTO RODOLPH PETTER. This insolvent, a German, who had been a merchant and commission agent at Ghent, in Belgium, applied to be discharged from Whitecross-street prison. Mr. Parry opposed, on the part of Mr. Farminger, merchant, Great Winchester-street, and for Mr. Joseph Dodson, another creditor ; Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sargood 'supported. The complaint was fraud. The insolvent had been supplied with flax by the opposing creditors to sell in the Belgian markets. From Mr. Farminger he had a sale to 8071., for which he paid, and a consignment to 7971., for which he had not paid. He had goods from Mr. Dod son, and now owed him a large sum • that creditor could not attend on account of illness. The insolvent and Mr. Farminger were examined. It appeared that the insol vent should have remitted the proceeds of the consign ment to Mr. Farminger when he received the money. On getting the goods he " hypothecated " them, as it was termed, or in other words pledged them with the Bank of Flanders, and afterwards sold them. Some money had been remitted to take up bills, but not in part payment of the flax consigned by Mr. Farminger. That gentleman went to Ghent, and expressed his indignation at the insolvent's conduct. Subsequently the insolvent was invited to come to England in order to show his ac count-books. He came to England, and was arrested on a capias, as about to leave the country, and lodged in Whitecross-street Prison, from which place he now ap plied to be discharged. The insolvent was examined. He had some foreign creditors and debtors which were not inserted in the schedule. Mr. Commissioner Phillips directed various amend ments to be made, and an application made for, the books. The case was adjourned till the 22d instant, to af ford an opportunity of communicating with the foreign creditors. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Jan. 6. OLD COURT. Johanna Connell, 20, was charged upon an indict ment which, in the two first counts, imputed to her the capital offence of feloniously administering to George Wm. Lapham, a quantity of oil of vitriol, with intent to murder him, and in others with committing the said act with intent to do grievous bodily harm, which of fence, under the present state of the law, is not capital. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Dearsley appeared for the pro secution; Mr. Sleigh and Mr. B. Thompson defended the prisoner. It will be remembered that at the November sessions of this court, the prisoner was tried for murder, arising out of the same circumstances, but in consequence of the medical testimony failing to trace any immediate con nection between the administration of the vitriol and the death of the child, the jury, under the direction of Mr. Baron Alderson, who tried the case, returned a verdict of not guilty; but the prisoner was ordered to be de tained to answer the present charge. The counsel for the prisoner had, it appeared, placed a plea of autrefois aquit upon the record, in reference to the two first counts of the indictment. This plea led to a long technical argument before the case was gone into, and it was contended by Mr. Sleigh that, under Lord Campbell's act, the prisoner might, upon the former trial, have been found guilty of an at tempt to commit the felony and murder with which she was charged, and that as she had thus been placed in jeopardy upon the very charge which was now contained in the two first counts of the indictment, her plea of autrefois aquit ought to avail her with reference to those two counts. Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of the Crown, contended that the statute referred to never intended to give a power to convict a prisoner under a charge of murder, or felony of any description, of another substantive felony created by a distinct act of Parliament. The intention of the act of Parliament that had been referred to was clearly to prevent a failure of justice in cases where the evidence might not be sufficient to support the charge of felony by giving the jury the power to find the party accused guilty of the misdemeanour of attempting to commit it. Mr. Justice Williams, at the close of the argument, said that the judgment of the Court upon the point that had been raised must be for the Crown. He was of opinion that the prisoner could not have been convicted of the offence with which she was now charged in the two first counts of the indictment, and that she had con sequently not been placed in any jeopardy. Mr. Justice Talfourd said he entirely concurred with Mr. Justice Williams, and he was clearly of opinion that Lord Campell's act never intended fo give the power to acquit a prisoner of one felony and find him guilty of another substantive felony which was only created by a particular statute. The case was accordingly proceeded with, but as the evidence was given fully in the report of the former trial, and the proceedings before the coroner and the magis trate, it will be unnecessary to give more than a brief outline of the facts upon which the charge was preferred. The prisoner was in the service of Mr. Lapham, a baker, in the New-cut, Lambeth, and it appeared that, on the evening of the 20th October, the child in question, which was five weeks old, was asleep on the bed of its mother, and the prisoner was seen to go into the room, and very soon afterwards the child was heard to scream violently. The mother ran • upstairs directly to see what was the matter,. and discovered that the mouth and throat of the poor child had been burned in a most dreadful manner. At first the injury was thought to have been occasioned by a candle, but upon Mr. Sewell, a medical gentleman, being called in, it was speedily discovered that the burn ing was the effect of oil of vitriol. The prisoner was at once charged with being the perpetrator of the crime, when she ran into the yard of the house, and fell into a fit, and upon the water-closet being examined a day or two afterwards, a bottle which had belonged to the pri soner, and which she had represented contained " holy water," she being of the Roman Catholic religious per suasion, was found there, which, on being examined, turned out to contain a portion of oil of vitriol. Mr. Sleigh made a very able speech to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, remarking upon the absence of any motive on her part for the commission of so diaboli cal a crime. He also remarked upon the absence of any evidence as to how the vitriol came into the bottle, and the possibility of the unfortunate occurrence being the result of accident. Mr. Justice Williams summed up, and at six o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict. At half-past eight they returned into court and gave a verdict of not guilty. Richard Witham, 36, labourer, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Joseph Polden. The court sentenced him to four months imprisoment. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Robert Nevin, 26, labourer, was indicted for the man slaughter of Daniel O'Bryan. The facts of this case, which very recently appeared, when the case was before the coroner, were briefly these :—Both Prisoner and deceased were upon the 28th of December at the Three Neats' Tongues, Pearl-street, St. Giles's. There were a great number of persons in the taproom, and prisoner's sister, being called upon, sang a song, during which a dis turbance arose, and the deceased man kept calling for order, when Mrs. Connelly, who was very outrageous, seized up two u Po ' and, according to her statement, as soon asthe ci ri va o r :beg th an the prisoner seized one and struck the deceased a most violent blow on the head, which fractured his skull. He was taken to St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, where he soon expired. For the defence, it was proved by several witnesses that the blow was given by the woman Conelly, who aimed it at prisoner, but he stooping down to avoid it, the deceased, who was standing close by, got the blow. The prisoner went of his own accord before the coroner, and there setup the same defence. After hearing a great delOf evidence, which occu pied the Court for a considerable time past the usual hour of rising, the jury acquitted the prisoner. TRIED COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) George Rouse, 19, labonrer, a respectably dressed youth, was indicted for stealing a quantity of printed cotton, the property of Messrs. Shepperton. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and stated that the pri soner had gone to the warehouse of the prosecutoys, who he had come f rom Mr. Southgate, a calenderer, asked if wereesale d rapers i n Ch e apside, and, stating that any goods to be dressed. A piece was g iven to him, but some suspicion being entertained, he are therewas ol follow e d an d h an ded over to the police, and he wh then stated that he had been sent by a man who asked him to go, a nd was then waiting for him in Guildhall - yard. The policeman took him to the Bow lane station, w h ere h e t o ld the same story, and the in spector then sent hi m ou t f o llowed by an officer in pl a i n clothes, but no one was to be found. Inquiry wag then made of Mr. Southgate, a most respectable tradesman in the city, and em pl o yed by Messrs. Shepperton, who of course knew nothing of him or the man he alluded to. Upon being taken to the Mansion-house, he was recog nised as having been there on the 11th of September upon a similar . ch arge , an d be then told the same s t or y, right address, the alderman let him go. Thisbut, g tim an e n g his he gave a false address. whomscarcelwy Aareached s nn st D at i e b d iae'tboov his bee The jury c onv i cte d hi m , an d he wa s sen t ence d to twelve month s ' i mpr i sonmen t.

The case was a somewhat remarkable one. The father, who is a respectable man, belonging to , one of the Steam-towing Companies, lives, with the two girls, at Woolwich, and the prosecutors are drapers of the same town. Having on several occasions missed a great many things from their shop, they communicated with the police, and the result was that the little girl, who was in th e h a bi t of almost d a il y com i ng to the shop f or pins, and other trifling articles, was suspected, and fol lowed to her father's house, ; by the police, and finally charg e d w ith the robbery. After' that. the police went to the father's house, and told him what had occurred. He said he knew nothing about it, but that there were two shawls up stairs in his box, which the eldest girl said her mistress had given to her. The police then found two new shawls and a piece of print, and also duplicates relating to a quantity of other property -which had been pawned at different shops about the outskirts of the town by the eldest girl. The property was all such as the pro secutors found gone from their stock ; but the patterns being usual 'ones, and all marks having been carefully taken out, they could not positively be sworn to. The answer given by the father was, that being away from home sometimes a month together, he couli not tell what wa§ done in his absence. The jury acquitted the prisoners upon each indict ment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Tohn Fowler, paid secretary to the' London Philanthropic Society, No. 17, Iron monger-lane, Cheapside, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances, in investigat ing which his lordship was engaged during the greater part of the day. Mr. Humphrey appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner for the defence. Mr. J. H. Heeps, honorary secretary to the society, said it was the prisoner's duty to attend the meetings of the committee. On the 19th of October he attended the committee, and gave to me at the meeting the account produced for coal (4/. 14s. Bd.) as due to Mr. Blackhall. He also gave me the cheque-book, with a cheque filled up in his writing for that amount, and I and two mem bers of the society signed it, and the chairman gave it in my presence to the prisoner, whose duty it was to pay it to Mr. Blackhall. Th cheque had since been returned from the banker's as paid. On the 21st of December we had been examining the accounts of the society very closely, and the prisoner said, "To be candid with you, gentlemen, I have been making use of the society's money," and he took a paper from his pocket and read the various names of the contractors for whom he had had cheques entrusted him to pay, and the list was copied by the chairman, Mr. Bathing, as the prisoner read the list. The sum of 4/. 14s 8d for Mr. Blackwall is one of the sums. The chairman then read the list over to him, and the prisoner said he was sorry that he had been obliged to use the society's money, but he had an action and was compelled to do it. I produce the minute book in which the entry is made of the amount ordered to be paid, and also the ledger in which the prisoner has credited himself with the amount. _ The Lord Mayor said he could not dispose of charges of this kind in any other way than by sending them for strict investigation to a higher tribunal. His lordship then read the paper preliminary to committal. The prisoner—l have not defrauded any of them of a penny, and if I had the opportunity of going through the accounts I should have proved that I did not owe per haps more than a pound, which I could very well pay. The Lord Mayor then said he would 'Accept of bail, and The prisoner was then formally committed for trial. GUILDHALL.— William Henry Kent, a youth aged 18, 'described as of No. 8, Maria-terrace, New Peckham, remanded on a charge of attempting to commit suicide by hanging himself, was again placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, for further examination. The father of the unfortunnte prisoner, who appeared much affected, stated that he was in the employ of Messrs. Hallam, and had five other children besides the prisoner. He never heard before that the prisoner at tempted suicide. Alderman Cubitt, after a suitable and feeling admo nition to the lad, discharged the prisoner, and handed him over to his father. WESTMINSTER.—.Tohn, Shaw, of 33, John-street, Edgeware-road, shoemaker, was charged with assaulting William Lund, an officer of the Brompton County Court. About half-past three on Wednesday afternoon, the prisoner entered by the private door into the high bailiff's office instead of remaining outside, which was the usual place for suitors, and stated that he had come about a warrant of commitment against a person named Hackley, and wished to make an appointment with the complainant about its execution. Complainant replied that he had not yet had the warrant placed in his hands, but if the defendant would write his instructions on a piece of paper they should be attended to. Immediately after this the defendant withdrew, and complainant was about to go out, but observing the defendant in the passage, and apprehending that he would have some altercation with him, he remained in the inner office. In two or three minutes afterwards defendant's hand was seen on the top of the private door, which he burst open with such violence as to destroy the fastenings, threw himself down on his back, and the door being held open to remove him, there being a large sum of money upon the desk, kicked the complainant and one of the other officers. A friend of defendant's also came up while they were eject ing the defendantland seized complainant by the breast. Mr. Broderip, after a very tedious and lengthened in vestigation, said that if the defendant had any complaint to make with respect to the proceedings at the court, he should have made to the judge there. The evidence most satisfactorily proved that he had broken open a private door where he had no business, and had then made a kick, which, had it taken effect, might have been attended with very serious consequences. Defendant was fined 31., which he paid. THE UNITED STATES' ARMY AND NAVY. Mr. Conrad, the United States' Secretary at War, in his last annual report, which he has recently presented to Congress, says : " During the past year, out of about 11,000 officers and men, comprising the army, 8,000 have been em ployed in the defence of Texas, New Mexico, California, and Oregon, or of emigrants destined to the two last. With the exception of the Rio Grande country, which has been disturbed by the movements of Caravajal, Texas has generally been free from Indian depredations. The attempt to cultivate farms with the soldiers has not succeeded, but it is hoped it may hereafter. Still the expenses of the Quartermaster's Department show a decrease of 501,000 dollars compared with last year, and the estimates for next year are reduced 500,000 dol lars more. By the last census, the total population of New Mexico, exclusive of wild Indians, is, in round numbers, 61,000 souls, and its whole real estate is esti mated at, in round numbers, 2,700,000 doll. To protect this small population we are compelled to maintain a large military force, at an annual expense nearly equal to half the value of the whole real estate of the terri tory. Would it not be better to induce the inhabitants to abandon a country which seems hardly fit for the habitation of civilised man, by remunerating them for their property in money, or in lands situated in more favoured regions ?" The Secretary recommends that a law be passed re quiring all minors of 18 and upwards, who shall here after enlist in the army, to serve out their time. It is also recommended, by both the Secretary and the General-in-Chief, that the pension laws be so amended as to place the widows and orphans of officers of the army on an equal footing with those of naval officers. Mr. Kennedy, the United States' Secretary of the Navy, in his annual report, says "The vessels in service in the navy have been employed in six squadrons—namely, that of the East Indies, the Pacific, the African Coast, Brazil, the Mediterranean, and the coast of the United States. The East India squadron will consist of the ship-of-the-line Vermont ; the steam-frigate Powhattan, Captain M'Cluney (sent in place of the Princeton, whose machinery has proved defective, but less so than was at first sup posed) ; the corvette Macedonian, Captain Abbott ; the sloop-of-war Vandalia, Commander Pope ; and the steamer Alleghany, Comman der Sands ; w hi ch constitute the forces assigned to Commodore Perry. The Pacific squadron, under the command of Commo dore Charles F. M'Auley, has been composed of the frigate Raritan, commanded by Commander M'Kean, as flag-ship of the squadron ; the frigate St. Lawrance, Capt. Dulany ; the sloops-of-war St. Mary's, Commander Mag ruder ; Portsmouth, Commander Dornin ; Falmouth, Commander Pettigrew ; Vandalia, Commander Gardner ; and Vincennes, Commander Hudson. The African squa dron is under the command of Commodore Lavellette, whose flag-ship is the sloop-of-war Germantown, Com mander Nicholas. Besidesthis vessel, it is composed of the sloop-of-war John Adams, Cominanderßaron ; and Dale, Commander Lardner ; and th e b r i gs B a i n b r id ge, L i eut. Manning ; and Perry, Lieut. Page. The time has come, perhaps, when it may be prope r ly commen d e d to t h e not i ce of Congress to inquire into the necessity of further con tinuing the regular employment of a squadron on this, coast. The slave trade may be said to be now driven into a comparatively narrow space on the southern por tion of the coast, and confined to North and South. Guinea, while the measures recently adopted in Brazil encourage the hope that this infamous traffic will soon be- abandoned altogether. A few small vessels added to the Brazilian squadron, and directed to cruise in the track of the slave ships, may be found effectual to sup press the last efforts of that forbidden commerce. The squadron on the coast of Brazil is commanded by Com modore M'Keever, and is composed only of his flag ship, the frigate Congress, Commander Pearson, and the sloop-of-war Jamestown, Captain Downing, with the store-ship Relief, Lieutenant Hitchcock. Commodore Silas H. Stringham has command of the Mediterranean squadron, in the frigate Cum berland, Commander Turner. His force consists of the steamer San Jacinto, Captain Crabb, and the sloops-of-war St. Louis, Commander Ingraham, and Commander Goldsborough. The squadron will pro bably be reinforced hereafter by the steamer Princeton, or the Saranac, if either of these vessels may be spared from the service at home. The squadon on the coast of the United States, or the home squadron, under the command of Commodore Newton , co nsists at this time of the frigate Columbia, the flag-ship of the Commodore, and commanded by Commander P'the ; the steamer Saranac, Captain L on g ; the sloops-of-war Albany, Commander Gerry, and Cayne, Commander Hollins; and the steamer Fulton, Commander Jackson. The Secretary argues at length for an increase of the navy. " Other nations," he says— " Are strengthening th eir maritime armament, and we ought to do the same. In the Pacific we have not a single armed steam-ship, though our commerce is rapidly i ncreas i n g there, and during the next 10 years it will be the theatre of important events. On the Atlantic there are equally potent reasons for an increase, and it is accordingly recommended that three first-class pro peller frigates be- built, and three propeller sloops-of war, with a few small steamers, adapted to speed, for coast navigation. In order to make room for them in the navy yards, the frigates Santee and Sabine, housed at Portsmouth and New York, for ten years, should be launched. It is also recommended to take one of the steamers built under the Mail Contract Act of 1847, and convert it into a ship-of-war, in order to ascertain what these are worth for that purpose. The number of seamen should also be i ncrease d from 7,500 to 9,000, for which purpose an increase of pay or a bounty is recommended. The marine corps also needs to be enlarged by 80 sergeants, 8 corporals, 30 drummers and fifers, and 1,000 privates, and the four captains and four first and second lieutenants provisionally allowed to the service by the act of March 3, 1849, should be per manently attached to it. . . . The estimates for the support of the navy and marine corps for the year ending on .the 30th -day of June, 1854, and the statement of appropriations required for all objects within the control of this department, present an aggregate of 11,501,593 dols. 67c. ; deduct for special objects 4,031,921 dols. 89c., leaves for the support of the navy and marine corps, 7,469,671 dols. 69c. The total amount drawn from the Treasury during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1852, is 9,726,251 dols. 42c. ; deduct repayments, 813,132 dols. 70c., which shows the sum of 8,913,118 dols. 72c. as the total expenditure on all objects under the control of the navy department, but of which amount there was expended for special objects the sum of 2,656,066 dols. 84c., leaving as the true ex penditure for the support of the navy and marine corps 6,257,051 dols. 88c. for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1852." Mr. Kennedy speaks thus of the results experienced in the navy from the abolition of flogging, in accordance with the Act of 1850 : _ " I very sincerely regret to say that the records of this department, as well as the almost entire concur rence of facts and opinions brought to my notice from authentic sources, and vouched by intelligent and ex perienced observers, all tend to indicate a most unsatis factory result. The omission of Congress to provide for the punishment of what may be called minor offences against disciple and good order on shipboard, may per haps account, in part, for the failure ; but the fact of the most serious detriment to the efficiency of our service is so unhappily forced upon my atten tion, as the effect of the recent change, that it becomes the gravest of , duties at this time to lay the subject once more before Congress, and to ask its attention to the consideration of such a corrective to the present condition of the ser vice as I am confident it must find to be indispensable to the proper government of the navy."
