When I had signed the appointments of. A. and B. in the morning, and went down to the House, it was there represented to me that C. and D. were more deserving. Lord Seymottr—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, with out Inquiry ? Yesterday the eettiMittee Who have undertaken this inqtlii7 met Again at eleVeli Wit! feSiittied the examination of Witnesses. The attendance of strangers acid Of Members of the house was quite as great as at the previous sittings. Mr. George Cotsell mAster smith at Chatham, said that he had held that post for BeVeii year ; that previously he had been two years first foreman at Devonport, 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 he had taken an opportunity of talking to him in the smithery about his removal to Portsmouth. Witness reminded him of the appli cations which he 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 promised him positively, hut he might have expressed his belief that he would succeed. Havinglseen 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 tne Admiralty 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 pend9d, 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. ROYAL HIGHLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY, PArnox—Mer MAJESTY the QUEEN.

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 poeket, 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.

S 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 eamings—a character often given to other articles of daily consumption called Taxes. None needs waste flesh by useless re pinings, for the sacritice may be easily and pleasantly survived by agreeable retrenchments, in which much is gained and nothing lost; al3cl even if the Tax is paid, as annual gain may be accumulating, which will constitute a respeciable fortune for Individuals and Families. This is one of the advantages derived from business transactions at the Ablgate and Minories or. the New Oxford-street Establishments of E.

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 juvenitis irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stagPa 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 miseries and disappointed hopes in existen,,e, traceable - to certain pernicious habits, to which 'Nervous Deblitty, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Merri am, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men Should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting 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 Sid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for along series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the. treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally, qualified Filysician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. 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 titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work 'on • SELF-PRESERVATION.

Mns. H. 13EECHER STOWS.—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 afternoon. Wo 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-Gener Sir Dun can M'Gregor, in Dublin.—Moilling 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 Mood 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 tobl 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 hei believed his long and faithful services entitled him.' Sir Baldwin Walker handed in . two letters to be added to hi, former evidence by the permission of the writers, since pbtained. They are as follow " Dockyard, Devonport, April 27, 1852. '1" 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. 4 ' J. B. SEYMOUR." Thp second letter is from Captain Richards, Superintendent of ; Chatham-yard, and is dated " April 9, 1852." It runs thus : 4c IVlr4'ears 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 Capulets. 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 he is a second-class leading man, I can only understand it as to be acting first 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, neither of the inferior leading men are competent for the position.' Ridgeway is ono of these in ferior or second class-leading men, and if he (=rids his point be will be raised to a station for which his officers declare bhp to be incompetent, and oven more—that ho is not the best of the men we have. " ' In 1849 he tried his band 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 their called. He gave his evidence with great self possession, and "Said---/ was apPeinted SeCretary to the Adniiralty ob the 3d of March, 1852, having never pre viouhly held any official appointm en t. Sir B. Walker's first statement has reference to a conversation he had with my private secretary. Mr. , Grant. I shall content myself with stating thket• 1 did not send Mr. Grant there - on the, errand Sir B. Walker describes, and shall leave Mr. Grant to speak for himself as. to what actually did occur at the interview. The first circumstance referred to which bears a date is my lettei of.the 2d of April, 1852. I was induced to write that letter, I have no hesitation in saying, in 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 prOnao 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 needl ess f or me to disclaim baying favoured any political party, for you will clearly per6eive, 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 bas been the means of caus ing an amount of reduction in the wages of the dockyards of upwards of 10,0001. ; but if it is, of course the surveyor will be deprived of that controlfwhich 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 fait.b.- fully yours, " BALDWLN WALKER. ." Augustus Stafford, Esq., M.P., &c." The committee wilkiabaerve that in that , letter Sir Baldwin Walker himself 'states that if the regulations of 1847 remain unalteredi.lidvaneement on political i ds Is totally im- Possible if the superintendents of do gr ek oun duty. I may ds perform their mention 'that the officers whom' Sir Bald win Walker referred as controlling, in conjtinction, with the 1847 regulations, the advancement of merit alone, had all been appointed by our political opponents. Sir B. W a lk er is, I • believe, correct instating that he had an interview with me . on April 5 : He 'states that at that interview 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 he add s , q ua li fy i ng the word Go vernment, that I mention e d th e names of Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Upon that statement have to observe—add 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 Adiniralty were not arranged satisfactorily to all parties, the board was the proper place, so to speak, of appeal. This view, and, its you'will see •hereafteri -the apparently satisfae tory,tertnination 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,n&e , either by Lord Derby or the Chancellor of the Axcheque,kVhut what I believe I did state was, that the pre*nre upOti me from members of my own party was very selefe, and that the GoVernment of Lord Derby and the Charic'elldr 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 September, 1849. The first was a code making advancement depend on merit alone. That has never been interfered .with by . any subsequent Or eular; '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 send Mr. Grant to Sir B. Walker • Mr. Stafford—Mr. Grant went to Somerset-house pi see his father, who holds an appointment there, and it is very likely I might have told him to ask Sir Baldwin for papers, but I have no remembrance' f 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 2d of April to Sir B. Walker you referred to an impression that appointments and • promotions were given to political opc onents,—did you before you wrote that letter consult any o the authorities of the Admiralty 7 . Mr. Stafford—l did not consult any of the Lords of the Admiralty. I acted on the result of inquiries in other quar ters, and from numbers of letters which I. had received. Many of these were sent to me in confidence, and sonic from mem bers of Parliament belonging to my part y. Lord Seymour—Did you inquire into the particulars of them ? Mr. Stafford—Ono of them was the case of Ridgeway, which I eonsjder a strong one. Lora' Seymour—But your letter is dated the 2d, and Ridge way's r iromotion took place on the sth. Mr. st:Afford—lt was rather the cases of promotions that were witl theld than' those that were made that' were com plained, A - 3 . 4 I Made a 'great number of promotions from the let of Match to the 2d of April. Mr. Stafford-4 took the number of complaints as a justifi cation for issuing the circular, but lam free to own that I did not then attach so much importance to that document as has been given to it since. S o l ong as I l e ft 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 BaldwinSiir Walker. The first thing I had to inquire came into when I into office was the amount of my patronage, and I told that the patronage of the dockyards was under the secretary. I never heard Sir Baldwin Walker charged with any political bias in the discharge of his duties. Lord Seymour—Did you not convey an impression 'to Sir Baldwin Walker that the previous Government wished • to keep the patronage of the dockyards through an 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 not-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 superintelidents of the dock yards were all appointed by political opponents, and had it been otherwise my motives might bemore liable to suspicion. Lord Seymour—Then you distrusted the surveyor's-office I Mr. Stafford—lt was represented to me that in 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 department to me. Lord Seymour—Sir Baldwin Walker says that no dockyard prbinotions were made between the 3d of March, when. you 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 samba 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 people who had been passed over. Lord Seymour--Did you not consult Captain Milne ? Mr. Stafford—No; I 'did not. It might have been better if 'I had done so • but I found that at- the Admiralty nothing was more jealously watched than patronage. Lord Seymour-here read the following letter which he had redeived from Mr. Talbot• the Earl of Derby's private secre ta? , , • , I " May 2,-1853, House of Commons Committee-room. I' 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 andue influence to bear upon Mr. Stafford, with reference to the dockyard appointments, he would wish to ' be caked upon to - give evidence before the committee. It would probably be right that this ishoidd be made public, but I will not do so without your permission.—l am, -my lord, your obedient servant, . " W. P. TALBOT. The Lord Seymour." It would be premature-, his lordship added, for the committee toaffive an answer at present to this communication, because they were not able to form an opinion whether the noble earl's attendanee would be required or not. . /fr. Stafford then resumed his evidence , an d said—Obser vat ons 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 healing_ with that point. rn '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 Wirral 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 opinione of the present First 'Lord, expressed the , other night in the House of Commons, as to the official cor- rectness of the _course adopted. I now cone to the evidence with refereuce to Sir B. Walker'alettei of the 21st of ,4.pril, whidh appears inthe Parliamentary ret\rrn. It seeme that it Nies addressed to rae;as Secretary of the Admiralty. It was not, ,howeer,.given to me. 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 reaching 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) vevula bring It before the board. 1 . had no communication with Sir Baldwin, or Admiral Parker, or Captain Milne, and was shown no letter. Sir Baldwin says that ho thinks on the following day, which would be the 22d, he was asked by Admiral Parker to meet me on the subject. My impression is, that the meeting did take place on the 2tith. 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. I am clear as to that; indeed, I am 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 Walker complained of the circular of April 19 as a personal reflection. I assured him that nothing of the kind was intended, and offered towrite anyprivate 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 modifi cation to his satisfaction was assented to, by him. The draught I refer to is that of the circular of . All6l 26. It is material to notice here, in • confirmation of my former state, ment, that the Auckland regulations have never been proposed to be interfered with, and that in this circular, issued to sa tisfy Sir Baldwin, it is expressly set out that no such inten tion had existed. My impression of the whole affair was, that Sir Baldwin had felt that the circular of April 19 had con veyed a personal imputation, whi c h ho desired' to have re moved, and which, as it never had been intended, I desired should be removed, and about which be was satisfied ' by 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 observation& which he states I made at the interview of 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. Pechell 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 wrote a private letter to Sir B. Walker, sending him a dopy of Admiral Berkeley's notice, and asking to what correspondence it referred. Sir B. Walker states that ho 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 letter of resignation. Admiral Parker has told the conamittoo that he did not show it to me er read it to me. He has also told the committee that he destroyed it. That evidence gives the' reason, both why I do not know it, and also why it could not be 'found when I searched on the 22d of November, as, in fact, it did not exist. Sir Baldwin states that he 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 me with them before the evening of the 23d, when I was called upon to give the two answers. Sir Baldwin states, quite truly, that on the 25th November, two days after my answers in the House of Commons, he wrote the' letter to my self, as secretary, referring to his letter of April 21 and May 10. ' I mention the' letter now for the first time, as the com mittee may observe. All that I know or knew of that letter was this : the Duke of Northumberland showed it to me in the strictest confidence. I need not mention to the committee the regret which I feel, in my desire to lay all the facts be fore them, in referring them to a letter which I am obliged to say in the same breath was shown me in the strictest coufi denco. I read. it, however, and returned it to the duke. Sir B. Walker further states, that calling at the Admiralty on that day he was informed that I wished to see him, and that I began a conversation by naming his 'letter and stating , the answers I had given in the House of Commons. All I can say of, that, statement is that Sir Baldwin is more accurate in it than he .is in the earlier part of his evidence. Th e commit tee will see that the only letter to which Sir Baldwin can have referred was the letter of the 10th of May, to which I have before adverted, as Admiral Parker has told you that he had not only not given the letter of resi g nation to me, but that he had destroyed it. The letter of the 10th of May, which is now in the Parliamentary return, was treated by me confidentially as it had been treated by the duke, and, having been so treated, did not exist in the Record-office. I must also remark that if such a conversation and these facts as stated by Sir B. Walker occurred, it is remarkable that I should have written the next day, November 26, the letter asking for copies in reply to Sir Baldwin's letter of the 25th. The com mittee will observe that the next document in date is a letter from Sir Baldwin to myself, dated November 29. I had asked for copies of the correspondence by my lettertohfet2h7et2h6thw.hiSeihr Baldwin has stated, that ho wrote a letter on enclosed copies ; that it was late when he reached White] that the members had left ; that he took it home, ite l t l o send it on Monday ; that on Sunday, the 28th . ‘ . 7 1e r a e t e n i - ve - a a letter from me, requesting him t o call on 14 ° 11 da h r o ; that he did so call, and that I stated to him that I had. " hit:upon a plan" of settling the affair. Sir B a ld w i n certainly did come to me. I told him that there was no trace of th e l e t ter in the Record-office, and that it seemed to me to adopt was t o wr it e a l etter, the ,the only pl an for him suggested, and which wer e practically the terms of whi c h I terms of the lett:er which Sir B. Walker did write on that day. I . believe I did' state to him that on all occasions I should regret if Ive were on any other terhothan those of co-operation. Ho said, as I understood, tha should go and consult Admiral Parker, and he left for that purpose. He returned to me in my office ' in a state of cons id era bl e excitement, with' a draught o f th e letter in hisland. _I read it, and i it, that's might bring it before proposal to him to - write the Ward. He declined, and ho --- I Br cia Uld prefer sending it from Somerset-house. Before h e left he informed me of what had occurred in his interview w ith Admiral Parker, and the observations of the Duke there I considered to be the cause of his excitement. He then left , tl tiroom. I believe that I have correctly stated the circum- - st anees of those interviews. I did not mean Sir B. Walker to setppress the copies. I have no recollection of his stating that hes must send them in. I remember that I repeated inunedi ately the substance of what passed to a Mr.. Briggs, a gentle =n in the office. I have ascertained his recollection of that statement, and it is in accordance with that which I have now stated. I was surprised when- I heard that ,portion of Sir Baldwin's statement. I have fUrther to notice portions of the . evidence of Captain Milne: I quite assent to Captain Milne's statement, that I requested him—and it was immediatelyafter • My 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 1)e intended to imply that such. mediation was between Sir Baldwin and myself, or that it was to induce Sir Baldwin to supp."ess the copies. - Sir .13. 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 follow 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 B. Hall- 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 one talked of it for fear of raising the subject. Lord Seymour directed Mr. Stafford's attention to the terms of Admiral Parker's evidence, in which he stated that the letter of resignation was made the subject of conver-- satien at an interview between them and Sir Baldwin Walker. Mr. Stafford—The question "of resignation was not dis cussed. • e th f e th r e es b c e i a rri .d, ng en being Duke 0 f broughtN erNorthumberland u under mberl a t u h d e Lord Seymour—Admiral Parker said that he remonstrated n aB ot t ic o e c d irc t u h la at r the not agreed with him, and Net you say that you had the concurrence of the bop. 4 I Mr. Staffoixt---I cannot say what passed between Admiral Parker and the First Lord on the subject, but I had the cognisanee and sanction of the latter to what I did. The Admiralty act as a corporate body, and are in the same posi tion towards their secretary as the Commander-in-Chief is to the Secretary-at;War. The signature of the secretary was ne c e ssary. and I never heard of an instance in which a First Lord had overruled the whole office. Vacancies are sometimes fin stance in the e d up the case of labourers wi out my knowing how —as, for in. Mr. Grant, an officer in the civil department of the Admi ralty, and who had acted as secretary to Admiral Dundas, to Admiral Ste Wart, and to Mr. Stafford, described the routine of appointments ' with reference to which, when vacancies oc e rk red, the surveyor might recommend that th e y s h ould 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, 10 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 "Idle 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 vacancieswould 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 Coinmodore Superinteydent re piesented 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 coining every day. . . Lord Seymotir-But it was not every day that the surveyor . „ was remonstrating. Mr. Grant, with reference to the promotion of Ridgeway as acting first-class man at 'the metal mills, said it bad '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 en 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 eireular of the Admiralty to put any man into an office who is not fit for it ? llitr.

Lord Seymour—Must not the effect of disregarding his re ports have been to discourage Captain Richards from sending up any more? Mr. Statrord—l think not. If he felt that he had not been properly treated he might have addressed the board, and one or two isolated cases give an unfair view of the way in which his recommendations were generally received. Lord Seymour again directed Mr. Stafford's attention to Sir Baldwin's letter to the Duke of Northumberland, and with reference to it Mi. 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 . me that I had no i powe • to. answer. , Lod Seymour—Could you not ha ve gone th rough-the cases ofLord pr motion, and.brought them under the no ti ce o f the First s Mn 4 Stafford —l did so confidentially.

Mr. 'Stafford,---He did not give me any answer. I was new to Offiee, and auy mistakes I made at first I corrected. as I gained- more experience, becoming more in accord with the general feeling of the Superintendents.

The sale, by auction, of the immense territory of the Western Australian Land Company; announced by Mr. Robini 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 Gaspe Fishery and Coal Mining Company, announ by Mn 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 4stablished between these properties and Quebec) and Montreal, and from thence to the United States.
