LITERATURE. CHRISTMAS BOOKS. The Poet's Dream, ; a Tale of Christmas. Houl ston and Stoneman. A tale exemplifying the efforts, misfortunes, and disappointments of an author. It takes its title from a dream or vision of the poet, which has some resemblance to the dream of Taby Veck in s' The Chimes," in which he seems to live a whole life of sorrow, suffering, and despair. The style shows great ability, as the following extract will prove. The hero in his dream meets with a spirit, ivho shows him the two Temples of Fame and of Oblivion " He found himself in a Temple of such immensity as the wildest conceptions of human fancy never pictured —a Temple whose roof was supported on pillars of such colossal mag,nitude that their summits were lost in impenetrable gloom, while on every side appeared endless avenues of dreary vastness, and the boundless receptacles and maga zines of ages, wherein were stored all the Forgotten of the Past. Here were deposited in promiscuous assemblage the forms of enormous and now unknown animals, of every monstrous and horrible shape—of singular and gigantic trees and other vegetable products which in successive eras, and through countless durations, have germinated, flour killed, and disappeared from the pre-Adamite earth. Here, too, were ranged the remains of architecture, from the in cipient and crudest erection of a barbaric age, to the pala tial magnificence of later years, with coeval relics of primi- Alva history. Here, too, were records of the ancient Egyp tian, Assyrian, Chinese, and Indian dynasties, and of im memorial nations who have not left even a name to indi cate their former existence ! Here, t o o, were deposited noble and exalted works of art, grou ps of statuary, gigan tic erections, exq u i s it e painting' s, immense engines of war fare, and milita r y t rop hi es an d re mains of kingly splendour, pomp, and magnificence. Here, too were to be seen in numerable idols and other objects .of superstitious venera lion, the silent and mouldering witnesses of the debasing , Vanity of man ! Here, too, were domestic and warlike im plements, reared side by side, mechanical contrivances, and everything characteristic of a savage and civilised life, of every age, nation, and clime—everything that science could discover, that art could invent, that luxury could suggest,end Unit necessity could require, was to be found in this Immense storehouse of unrecorded Time ! In addition to all that the eye had seen, the ear had heard, and the hand bad done, were lidless coffins with their ghastly tenants imposed to view, who comprised the dead of every age, ipce, sex, and station, from the haughty monarch—who bad swayed his kingdom with the ambitious pride of power, whose end was the grave and an oblivious death—to the humble _peasant, who knew of no to-morrow, and lived only in his little present ; from the aged monarch to the tender infant ; from the man of genius to the untutored boor ; and from the polished beauty to the repulsive savage ! Amidst the bewilderment of this wondrous scene, and the Infinite diversity of dim objects which surrounded Rob, and oppressed him with a painful sense of overwhelming 'vastness, were piles of innumerable volumes of ancient and forgotten records of men's thoughts and inventions. All, all, however, were fast hastening to dissolution. The worms and moths and other creeping things were preying on the ruins and mouldering forms of a departed life ; Whilst rust and decay, the sure and silent followers of ne glect, were stamping the impress of eternal doom on the noblest and most enduring monuments of nature and art." 4 Day of Pleasure. By Mrs. H. Myrtle. Illus trated by Hablot K. Browne. Addey, Old Bond- street. Mrs. Harriet Myrtle's works are well known to juvenile readers. They are chiefly suited to the very young, being written in a simple and pleasing style, easy of comprehension. The present describes very naturally a child's adventures and mishaps during one day, on which, being his birthday, he has many unusual indulgences. It is very ably ill4strated by Hablot K. Browne. The Adventures of a Bear. By Alfred Klwes. Illustrated by Harrison Weir. Addey, Old Bond-street. We here meet with a very pleasing revival of the fables of bygone days. The hero, a very cross, ill tempered bear, quarrels with his family, and starts out in the world by himself to make his fortunes. But his only talent consisted in marring his own fortunes, and others too. He tried several plans, but the foundations were all ill laid, and they soon crumbled away. He inhabited Caneville, a town Sat apart for animals, very amusingly described, and here he set up as a conjuror, with a learned pig, attended by a diminutive bull-dog. After great success, the bear became idle and ill-tempered. in a quarrel he killed his confederate, seized his riches, and lived in great style, under an assumed name, in a new part of the town. But soon he grew extravagant, and ruin overtook him. After a thousand adventures, all alike com menced in treachery, and closed in shame, he was castinto prison ; from there he escaped, planned to rob a house, but was made blind by the sharp claws of the vigilant porter, an old cat ; he rushed away, and was discovered by the officers in a pool of water, trying to soothe his intolerable fever. They allowed him to wander about, considering him harmless ; and after .many sufferings from ih„e gibes and insults of the town wits, who knew him well, he died of want and disease. There are nine illustrations, admirably done, to represent his devious course ; they exhibit great skill, and add to the amusement here found for all young readers. .Hidden Treasures. By Frederick Hardman. This is a very interesting little story for the young, and it conveys a useful moral also, for it advocates the principles of integrity and rectitude. The foundations of the plot are afforded by the cir cumstances of the German war with France, during which a private soldier secured, after a battle, some chests of treasure belonging to his king. He was pursued by the French, but contrived to escape them, and for security buried his prize in the earth by a ruined castle in the forest, them to remain till happier times should enable him to restore them to his master. Connected with this incident the other personages of the story are introduced, and the character of the young Count is very well drawn. His mother and himself were driven from their castle, through fraud. and treachery, and they bad to wait long years before they could reinstate themselves in their rights. Nor was it till the ter mination of the war that the old Hermann was enabled to restore to his monarch the long-lost, dkithfully-guarded treasure. Thus truth and 2ionour triumphed after many trials. Phe Unseen Hand. By the Rev. Stopford J. Wane. Whittaker. This little work is entitled " Events in an Event ful Life." It has for its motto— " There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them as we will." This sufficiently describes the whole scheme of the composition, for it adheres strictly to the text. it is an admirable monitor to the vain and trifling. It conveys, also, a solemn warning to those who tempt themselves and others in the way of wrong. The hero is actuated by the best of feelings, but his actions were not in accordance with his desires ; laut at last, after many sufferings, he is led into the right path. While this work points out the influence of the Spirit, it does not, in the least, in sline to fatalism or superstition ; on the contrary, it clearly shows that the effort must be made by . Plan before grace will be given. The tale is sim ple, but very pleasing, and doubtless many will be entertained, as well as instructed, by its perusal. Preciosa. A Tale. John Chapman. This is 'a. volume better suited to those who pre fer thoughtful and reflective works than to the ad mirers of brilliant sketches or lively narratives. But while some may find it tedious, others will be interested in its development of character. Edward Eustace, the hero, notwithstanding his hesitation and melancholy, is more attractive to the reader than Lucy Ledyard, his " Preciosa," who is some what too bold and self-dependent to be altogether pleasing. It is an agreeable little tale, though p ar taking too much of the melancholy to suit all -tastes. The Charm Almanac. Addey. An almanac for little readers, by the Editor of the Charm Magazine, embellished with twenty iil,ustrations, for the sum of sixpence, containing All almanac of the year, and various information. Grimm's Household Stories. Ackley. „ The stories of the Brothers Grimm, newly trans lated and adorned with 240 most beautiful illus 'l:cations by Wehnert, having been issued in monthly /arts, are now complete in two volumes, contain 4ng an amazing amount of amusing reading Patter of interest and matter for laughter. ( o tiladdire and Siabad, _and Far-famed Tales. Aadey. These two little volumes contain some of the chief irr.., 4es o f the " Arabian Nights." These tales, in terestip_e alike to old and young, need no recom mendation, but their juv en il e admirers will find this littl e edition presents them in a new form, easy of attainment. The type is excellent, and we trust Mr. Addey will complete the series. 21 e Dial of Love. A Christmas book for the young. By Mary J{owitt. Darton and Co. fc,; ". Ver Y pleasino. and simple little book, intended th e ve .._ debt e d to lY. mrs Y . oll who are already so much in and ve Rota for the charming little tales full y bound and 18' 6 e has aiven them. It is very taste , well suited for a Christmas Hero. By the Autho r of " Olive," &c. Addey. A tale by the authoress of the " Head of the Fp.mily" must always possess sufficient attraction to excite the attention of her readers. The present volume is intended for the young, b ut it is not de ficient in entertainment for those more advanced in years. The moral is an excellent one, and one generally much needed by young people, e s p ec i ally school-boys. It shows that the seemingly quiet, tupretenclang character s frequently contai ns more of the heroic qualities of self-sacrifice and presence of mind than the reckless and apparently fearless disposition, which, nevertheless, frequently fails in the hour of danger or difficulty. The characters are well drawn, as is always the case with this author, and the little volume contains much to in terest and improve i'us readers. LAW INTELLIGEIf.O.I',' • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. JAN, 6. °:;; (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) . IN THE MATTER OF OTTO RODOLPH FETTER'. 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 807/., 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 incastment. 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 to 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-coot, 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 Nevill, 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 quart pots, and, according to her statement, as soon as the riot began 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 set up the same defence. After hearing a great deal of evidence, which occu pied the Court for a considerable time past the usual hour of rising, the jury acquitted the prisoner. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) George Rouse, 19, labourer, 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 prosecutors, who are wholesale drapers in Cheapside, and, stating that he had come from Mr. Southgate, a calenderer, asked if there were any goods to be dressed. A piece was given to him, but some suspicion being entertained, he was followed and handed over to the police, and he then stated that he had been sent by a man who asked hira to go, and was then waiting for him in Guildhall-yard. The policeman took him to the Bow lane station, where he told the same story, and the in spector then sent him out followed by an officer in plain clothes, but no one was to be found. Inquiry was then made of Mr. Southgate, a most respectable tradesman in the city, and employed 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 charge, and he then told the same story, but, giving his right address, the alderman let him go. This time he gave a false address. The jury convicted him, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Thomas aAnn sDible, 46, mariner, and Lavinia Dible and Amelia Dible, his daughters, two girls whose heads whom m el w y as reac st h a e t d ed to b above e tohnededroelk2 y dock, and ears tohfeagyeouwngeerset ofin dicted upon three separate i n di c t men t s f or f e l o n 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 the habittorfiflailmngosatrtdioalielys, c w om as in s g usi? t o o o t t h ed e , sahnodp for pins, and other fol lowed to her father's house by the police, and finally charged with the robbery. A fter that the police went lto the father's house, and told him what had occurred. He eaid, he knew nothing about it, but that there wer e two shawls up i3tairs in his box, which the eldest girl said her mistress had given to her. The police then found two new shawls an d 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 got from their stock ; but the patterns being usual :ones, and all marks having been carefully taken out, they col ild not positively be sworn to. The anewer given by t he father was, that being away from -home sometimes a :month together, he could not tell what 'was done in his sence. The jury acqt dtted the prisoners upon each indict ment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOL TSE.—John Fowler, paid secretary to the London Phil. withropic Society, No. 17, Iron monger-lane, Chert,psit le, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the 17ollo\ wing circumstances, in investigat ing which his lord ship -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 pris( iner's duty to attend the meetings of 1 the committee. Ou the 19th of October he attended the committee, and gave to me at the meeting the account produced for coal (•41. 14s. Bd.) as due to Mr. Blackhall. He also gave met he cheque-book, with a cheque filled up in his writing fo r 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 p risoner said, "To be candid with you, gentlemen, I ha-vi been making use of the society's money," and he to , * 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 chairs aan then read the list over to him, and the prisoner said b e was sorry that he had been obliged to use the society'* 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 May - 0 r 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 pap er preliminary to committal. The prisoner-1f have not defrauded any of them of a penny, and if Ihad 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 Mayo r then said he would accept of bail, and The prisoner ivc 'a s 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 cha ,rge of attempting to commit suicide by hanging himsol'f, was again placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, for further examination. The father of th e unfortunnte prisoner, who appeared much affected, at ated that he was in the employ of Messrs. Hallam, al id had five other children besides the prisoner. He nu ver heard before that the prisoner at tempted suicide. The prisoner sai d he was very sorry for what he had done, and knew t b.at it was wrong. He was in a fit at the time and un c onscious of what he was doing, and promised never to .repeat the act. Alderman Cubith, after a suitable and feeling admo nition to the lad:, discharged the prisoner, and handed him over to his fa ti ter. WESTMINST E R.—John, Shaw, of 33, John-street, Edgeware-road, sly )emaker, was charged with assaulting William Lund, az L officer of the Brompton County Court. About half-past -three on Wednesday afternoon, the prisoner entered t,y the private door into the high bailiff's office inst, , az Ld 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 p aper they should be attended to. Immediately after this the defendant withdrew, and complainant ix as 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 in.- the defendant,sand seized complainant by the breast. eject ing 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 SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1853, 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 I n di ans , i s , i n r ound numbers, 61,000 souls, and its whole real estate is esti mated at, in round numbers, 2,700,000 dols. 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, Commander Sands ; which 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. Besides this vessel, it is composed of the sloop-of-war John Adams, Commander Baron ; and Dale, Commander Lardner ; and the I:kigs Bainbridge, Lieut. Manning ; and Perry, Lieut. Page. The time has come, perhaps, when it maybe properly commended to the notice 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 1119Keever, 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, consists at this time of the frigate Columbia, the flag-ship of the Commodore, and commanded by Commander Prendergast ; the steamer Saranac, Captain Long ; the sloops-of-war Albany, Commander Gerry, and Cayne, Commander , Ho T ll h i e ns s ; ec a r n e tt ry he asrtgeaumeseratFlieilntgonth, Commander a m n an in d c e r r e J as a e ck o s f e t u il ' e says— " armament, and navy. A . re s O t r t "hr en e t n h a e t n i n n g s , ' t ' h h e r we ought to do the same. In the Pacific we have not a single armed steam-ship, though our commerce is rapidly increasing 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 a 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 increased 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."
