Surveyor or. direct from the dockyards. I -think' it would be -advantageous to the service if the men. in the dockyards ceased to have votes. I may mention, with reference to my interviews with Sir 13. Walker about the copies of his correspondence with Mr. Staf ford, that I went to him because I thought it was a pity t4:take.up a business which haitipassed over for several niontlis. I went to Jiiin as a friend to both .parties. to try and us e my incluence to eiideavour'to arrange that .the correspondence should not be sent in. ' I acted' only in aTriendly'spirit, not wishing to act against one. side or the other, but I got him to withhold the lettefs. This' Was on the 20th of November. I went on seeing the Board minute ordering the copies of the corresptindence to ,he sent in. Liniglit or. might not then have seen. the question asked in Parliament referring tb .this:;: I. thought the matter had dropped about his resio-nation, and that some ariangethent had been made, and that we should have nothing more to do with it. Captain Duncembe here put in some questions which he wished the Chairman to put to the witness, and on several. occa, , ions.during the day adopted this course. In answering them, Captain Milne said—l do not remember any instance in which the Board have been placed in such.a;position as to be obliged to allow some orders of the Seyretary which they disapproved of. The conduct - ot the. Secretary was never made matter of conversatidn at the Board that lam aware of. No Secretary of the' Admiralty could stop the returns. It would, be hardlyin the power of any Secretary to stop or withhold them. Sir. F. Baring did not remove a storekeeper from Chatham to Devonport on account of his Radical political opinions. I know he had been a political partisan at Sheerness and Chatham, and I thought he had better go to Devonport. I am not aware whether he took any part there or not, but he is since dead. Mr. Stafford asked me, as I was a mutual friend of both parties, to see Sir.B. Walker about the corres pondence between them and to act as a mediator, and that was my own feeling 'at that time. I thought I could stop any further proceedings taking place, and I was anxious to do so. Mr. Stafford requested me to mediate in the matter to induce Sir B. Walker to with hold the correspondence, and, as I have already men ., ...tioiled,-1-tioauglit- it No*4 I pity to ;-..raWall. matter up again. Captain Duncombe (through the Chairman)—When Mr. Stafford asked you to mediate, did he mention a wish to have the letters suppressed ? Witness—l think he made use of the expression, that it would be very disagreeable for him if Sir B. Walker sent these letters. He said it would be far better if this could be avoided and the matter let alone. Vv Captain Pelham, private secretary to the Duke of Northumberland when First Lord of the Admiralty, was then called. He said he received a letter from Sir B. Walker in his capacity as private secretary. He stated then to the committee that his position with respect to the Duke of Northumberland was one of an entirely confidential nature, and though he had no difficulty in answering the question put to him by the committee, he thought it right to state that all that passed while he was in the capacity of private secretary to his grace he considered of a private nature. He did not, however, iirge this in consequence of anything that the duke had told hirt en the subject. When he received the sum mons to attend this committee, he waited on his grace and told him that he should suggest to the committee what he had just stated. His grace, he wished it to be understood, gave him no direction whatever to refuse giving anyinformation in his power. Sir Baldwin Walker, in answer to some questions, stated that his submissions to the Board of Admiralty with respect to promotions, if in existence, ought to be in the Record-office. He bad sent there, and after two days' search he received for answer that they had never been there at all. Mr. Ballow, keeper of the Record•office, connected with the Admiralty, was then called, and stated that the document in question could not be found. He gave a description of the r.iutine of the office, and said that papers were frequently misplaced through the great quantities they received continually. Mr. J. H. Hay, chief clerk of the Admiralty, was also examined with reference to the papers that passed through his hands, and described the system adopted. He also stated that it came under his observation that papers were very frequently lost. Sir B. Walker was then examined at great length, with respect principally to the case of Wells and Cotsell, most of the circumstances of which transpired before the Chatham Election Committee, and during the debate lately in the House of Commons. He stated that it was found necessary for the good of the service to appoint the master smiths at some of the dock yards from private yards, instead of raising men already in the dockyard to fill that position, because the Govern ment yards got behind the improvements of the day. The correspondence between the Board of Admiralty and Sir Baldwin relative to the withdrawal from him of the appointment of master smiths and other officers in the dockyards, printed by order of the House of Commons, was very largely referred to during his examination. He declared that Wells was not, as had been stated, any protege of his. He was recommended by the master smith atWoolwich, before which he had never even heard of him. On the Ist of Oct. Cotsell was appointed to Portsmouth yard, and Smale, who had formerly been at Woolwich, was appointed to Chatham. On the 2d Commander Eden came to him (Sir B. Walker) and asked why the appointment had been made ? He (Sir B. Walker) was very much surprised to hear of it, as no communication had been made to him, and he went to the Admiralty in company with Commander Eden, and saw Admiral Parker. Admiral Parker said that it was impossible ' for only the day before, in the board-room, Mr. Stafford had asked him to give Cotsell the appointment to Portsmouth, and he (Admiral Parker) said he would not hear of such a thing ; it was not at all desirable that Cotsell should go back to the yard where he had formerly been in a junior department, and assured them that the appointment was impossible. He also said, " If this is the case, either Mr Stafford or I will leave the Admiralty." This was said in the presence of Commander Eden—in fact, to him. Admiral Parker was going out of town next morning, and the following day he (Sir B. Walker) saw him, and he said he would write to the Duke of Northumberland, and afterwards told him he had done so, and had pointed out to his grace how impossible it was to appoint Cotsell to Portsmouth. He (Sir B. Walker) did not see the First Lord, or any of the Lords of the Admiralty, on the sub ject. Admiral Parker was his immediate chief, and therefore he addressed him. Mr. Haughton, a clerk from the Admiralty, produced the books, and stated that there was no minute referring to the dockyard, Portsmouth, on the 18th of October, in the minute book ; but in the general book there was one about Wells' memorial to the Admiralty, with the reply of Mr. Stafford on the 16th of October, in which he says— " I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to inform you that they are not aware that you have received any appointment from them, and that their Lordships do not consider you justified in designating yourself ' Late master smith of her Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth.' My Lords cannot recognise you as ' Late master smith' of Portsmouth Dockyard, as no warrant has been given to you by their Lordships for such an appoint- Lent. Mr. Haughton also referred to the minute of the ap pointment of Wells as master smith at Portsmouth Dockyard, on probation for 6 months, bearing date the 10th of Sept., and signed by Capt. Hamilton. Mr. Bell, another clerk of the Admiralty, stated that he made out the warrant for the appointment of Wells, ready for signature. It was sent up to the chief clerks whose duty it was to forward it to be signed by two Lords and the Secretary. Mr. Piers, in the Parliamentary department of the Admiralty, stated that the warrant came to Captain Hamilton for signature. Captain Hamilton said, " Who could have appointed Wells master smith ?" He knew nothing about it. He directed witness to get the ordinary minute of his appointment from the Record-office, which he did. When he saw that it was signed by Admiral Parker, he said that he was not authorised to carry it out, and con sulted Sir T. Herbert, who advised him to wait until Mr. Stafford, who was expected the follow ing week, should return to town, as it was well understood that the dockyard appointments were vested in Mr. Stafford. The papers were given into witness's hands then, to keep until Mr. Stafford re turned. On his return witness either gave them to him or Mr. Grant—he could not recollect which. If he gave them to Mr. Grant it was to hand over to Mr. Stafford. It must have been some time in September, and a day or two after the return of that gentleman. This was all he knew with reference to these papers. He had not seen anything of them since, and had nothing to do with them from that time. The Chairman then inquired of Mr. Stafford whether he wished to defer his examination generally until Monday. Mr. Stafford said he would rather do so than tbe ex amined on Saturday ; but with ref erence to a potirottird which the last witness had given evidence. examined on this point was, that by it some t _ p parties wish to say a word. The only reason he w i l la s h h e c a d ta to tia b i e i had been cast on the professional characsttaer f he te that he re mentioned, and he wished simply Mr. Piers.

The boat went to windward in order to board her, but on nearing the barque wore round and stood off ; wind east by north. Immediately after the Perseverance saw a man-of-war brig going up Channel, showing a white ensign. The bark had troops on board, and was supposed to be in company with the brig. This morning at 3 o'clock a Brixham trawl, sloop, coming from Mount's bay, on reaching in about a mile north-west of the Eddystone, saw a - large two-decked man-of-war standing off, head south-east, under steam, and single reefed topsails and topgallfint sails,'' Wind, E.N.E. ; strong.

THE COMMITTEE ON DOCKYARD APPOINT. • MENTS AND PROMOTIONS. - MR. STAFFORD'S CASE. Yesterday, the seleat committee appointed for this inquiry met at 11 o'clock. The proceedings still kept up ,their-interest in • the public mind, as the room thtough :out the daY was . crowded ,by members of Parliament and other gentlemen. Before the examination of witnesses was commenced, Captain Dul'ombe, one of the Lorils.of the lateToard of Admiralty, requested, on behalf of both Mr. Stafford and 'the,late toard of Admiralty,.that he might hii , e the privilege of putting some. questions to the witnesses called, with a view of explaining the transactions to' which the inquiry was devoted. 7.11 e also expressed , a hope that the committee would close the case 'hs he might term it; for the prosecution first, and then ad journ• over- until Monday, when Mr. Stafford would enter upon his defence. . The Cliairmn (Lord Seymour) observed that with ference to queitioning the witnesses, of course any :ques -tions that were put to the witnesses under examination ought to be put, through the members of the committee. This was the usual course, and he thought that it was known that this would be perrnitted,.or he should have mentioned it on the previous day. With regard to postponing Mr. Stafford's evidence until Monday, he on the previous day thought there would-be some difficulty, and therefore proposed adjourning until Saturday ' • but now he did not know whether the committee would have witnesses enough for the day's examination. After some further conversation, it was arranged that Mr. Stafford's examination should be postponed till the other witnesses were heard. Captain Milne, one of the Junior Lords of the Admi ralty, was then called ; and The Chairman, before putting any questions to him, read' a letter lie had received from Sir F. Baring, ex pressing his willingness that any officer whom the com mittee should examine should freely make known any communication he might have had with him on the sub ject matter before the committee, and mentioning that it teas his wish that this should be done. Captain Milne was then -examsnertr'st - tiMiateMbie length. He stated that he was first appointed to the Board under Lord Auckland, in September, 1847 ; he remained there with Sir F. Baring, and subsequently under the Duke of Northumberland, and was continued by Sir James Graham when he took the office of First Lord. He took charge of the store department of the navy, the victualling troops, the transports, and, for merly, the medical department ; bvt the latter he did not superintend at present. His department did not make him acquainted with the dockyard management, as he had nothing to do with appointments connected with that department, or the minor details, except so far as he had to do with the store department. The promotion of the higher officers of the dockyard depart ment, such, for instance, as the master-shipwrights, was vested in the First Lord ; the minor ones, such as the foremen, leading men, heads of trades in the shops, and all who were commonly called inferior officers, were vested in the Secretary to the Admiralty. He was made acquainted on the 25th or 26th of April by the Surveyor of the Navy with the circular of the 19th of that month. He did not consult with any of the other Lords, and he was the junior member of the Beard, and as such did not consider himself responsible for it, it not affecting the department with which he was concerned. On the 21st of April he went by chance into Admiral Parker's room, and Sir B. Walker was there. Admiral Parker told him (Captain Milne) that Sir B. Walker had ten dered his resignation, and he then, he believed, read the letter announcing this. He had no communication with Sir B. Walker on the subject of his resignation. He had no consultation with any of the Lords of the Admiralty, or the Secretary of the Admiralty, on the subject. He merely heard of it, as he had stated, on coming into the room, as the third party, by chance. He was present at the Board on the 26th of April, when the circular was issued. It was not formally brought under the notice of the Board at all. The minute of the 26th of April was decided upon before it came to the Board. It had the sanction of Admiral Parker and the Secretary to the Admiralty, and he (Captain Milne) supposed it had the sanction of the First Lord before coming before the Board. He did not ob serve the difference between the words of the minute as read from the book and the circular as it was issued. Any letter emanating from the Admiralty, and signed by the Secretary, would be laid before the Board. It would then be a letter stating that the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty had done so and so, or that he (the secretary) was desired by my Lords, &c. It was not usual for the Secretary to issue a circular from their Lordships which had not been sanctioned by the Board. If be did so, it would be an irregularity. Before that circular was issued, it ought to have been brought before the Board, and it required two Lords and the Secretary to form a Board. The Secretary could only use the names of their Lordships without applying to them, or obtaining their sanction, in cases of minor detail under his own particular supervision—for instance, if he had the appointment in the dockyards, he would have the right to use the name of the oard ; but it required great discretion in drawing the line of distinction. The Chairman—Are the duties of the Secretary to the Admiralty so distinct that he can correctly ascertain what orders he may, or may not, give without applica tion to the board ? Witness—lt is very difficult to define the limits with out knowing how the case exactly bore on that point. The Chairman—You have been a member of the Ad miralty under several Administrations ; I wish to ask you whether the Lords of the Admiralty have occasion ally differed from their Secretary as to the use of their authority ? Witness— I do not remember any instance which I can bring forward. lam not aware of any where there has been an interference on the part of the Secretary with reference to Board notices. A. circular could not be issued without coming before the Board. The Chairman—l understand you to say that, in your opinion, the circular of the 26th of April seemed to have been agreed upon before iticame to the Board. Witness—l think so. The Chairman—Do you not visit the dockyards occa sionally? Witness--I visited only two last year—Portsmouth. and Sheerness. In previous years I have always at tended the visits of the Admiralty. I was one of the committee when Sir H. Ward visited all the yards. We visited them with a view of looking into their whole de tail and arrangement, and to make such recommenda tions for alterations as we might think necessary. We did not enter into the subject of promotion ; that had been previously settled by the circular of 1847, and we considered that the system then established was work ing satisfactorily. The Chairman—Considering the system established by the circular of 1847 was satisfactory, did you form any opinion as to the circular of 1849 ? Witness—The circular of 1849 was merely affirming a part of the system then in force, which, I believe, was this :—Returns came from the dockyards every two months. They, I believe, were immediately sent to the Surveyor of the Navy, and he represented what vacancies should be filled up, and then they were sent back to the Admiralty. Then came the order of 1849, which directed that they should be sent, first, to the Surveyor of the Navy, and from the Sur veyor to the Secretary of the Admiralty. The Surveyor is in this position—he is responsible for all the work of the dockyards, and he ought to know what vacancies there are to fill up in each. He might, perhaps, find his work in some of the yards getting ahead of the money he has to lay out, and then, instead of filling up all the vacancies, he will work out in the wages which would otherwise be paid the sums due by those yards. I think the Surveyor ought to have this control. I think the circular of 1849 was an improvement, so far as it went. I am not aware of any reason why it should have been altered. I never heard of any difficulty with regard to it, or any complaints. I have not taken any part in political matters, directly or indirectly, since my appoint ment. I was appointed with the understanding that I should not. Before the circular of April 19, I have no reason for thinking that any political motives led to pro motions in the dockyards, or that persons were discharged in consequence of their opinions. I will go back to the time when I came to the Admiralty, which was subse quent to the regulations of 1847. In all the appoint ments of Sir F. Baring it was always made one of the con ditions of promotion that it was given with the distinct understanding that the recipient should take no political part in the dockyards or elsewhere. The letter written by Sir B. Walker to the First Lord on the 11th May was not to my knowledge brought under the notice of the Board. I believe I became acquainted with it through the Surveyor of the Navy himself mentioning it to me. Nothing has occurred to make me form any opinion on the mode of promotion going on since the circular of the 19th April. Lord Hotham—What is the direct patronage of the First Lord ? Witness—The First Lord has the promotion of all offi cers of the navy and of senior appointments in the dock yards, as master shipwrights, &c. The Senior Naval Lord has only a certain number of appointments to fill up in the course of the year, and has promotions. The next Naval Lord takes all the appointments of officers to ships, lieutenants, masters, second masters, &c. There has been no alteration with respect to these. Sometimes when a new Government comes in the Board makes a different arrangement. Lord Hotham—Has it ever happened that a minute has come to the Board previously agreed on ? Witness—Very seldom. Lord Hotham—You have stated that Sir F. Baring made parties pledge themselves when promoted not to interfere with politics ; are you aware of any orders being sent to the superintendents of the yards to see that such orders were not broken ?

Mr. W. M. Rice, now master shipwright at Pembroke Dockyard, has been appointed to the vacancy at Wool wich caused by the decease of Mr. Oliver Lang, and Mr C. W. Lang has been nominated to Pembroke. We believe that these appointments will give satisfaction not only to the public, but to all who are officially connected with these gentlemen. The Rev. W. L.

The Argus and Basilisk, steamers, are ordered to pre pare to accompany the Leander to New York. The Basilisk is commanded by the son of the Earl of Elles mere. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 29 The Queen and Court are expected to arrive here to morrow en route to Osborne. Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence will be in attendance on her Majesty, and hoist his broad pendant on board the Royal yacht. The Odin, 16, paddle, Captain Francis Scott, returned to Spithead last evening, having gone across the bay as far as Vigo. We are happy to report that the voyage has shaken off the sickness on board. Her machinery will want overhauling, and she will come into harbour for such purpose. The Conflict, 8, screw, has landed her ordinary pro peller, and taken on board one of Boomerang construc tion, which does not appear to be of more than one-third the weight. She will fit this to-morrow, and on Monday try its merits at the measure mile. The London, 90, Captain Charles Ede, will require caulking her topsides, which will be done at Spithead. We understand she is fearfully short of hands. The Vulcan, 6 (screw iron troop-frigate), Commander Von Donop, will be paid wages to-morrow (Saturday) ; her crew to be granted a few days' leave of absence.— Qy. How many will return ? The African, steam-tug, came into harbour this morn ing from Sheerness with volunteers for the ships at this port, having landed which, she steamed on with others to Devonport. The Carysfort, old 26, has been brought down the harbour to-day, and is to be fitted as a receiving ship for the workmen and artificers employed in the defences at Scores Point, Isle of Wight. Hastings, 72, Captain F. W. Austen, has landed her guns, besides 60 condemned and sent home by her. This has been a bad working day in discharging her stores, the rain coming down in torrents. She is ex pected to be clear, and will pay off, on Wednesday next. Prince Ernest of Leiningen, nephew of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, who left England some three years since as midshipman on board the Fox, frigate, came home in the Hastings, to which ship he has been attached the last two years. The Prince was present, with other officers, at the first attack on Prome, and in subsequent boat expeditions up the river. On one occasion the Prince had a very narrow escape, the enemy's shot passing between him and the cockswain. He was a general favourite on board. Prince Edward of Saxe Wiemar, who was staying with his noble rela tive the Duke of Richmond at Goodwood, left there to meet the Prince at the Royal George Hotel, at this port, on Wednesday last, after which the Prince Leiningen proceeded on a visit to her Majesty, at Buckingham Palace, and will doubtless accompany his august aunt to the Royal Palace at Osborne. We had much pleasure in noticing the kindly and gentlemanly feeling that ex isted amongst the officers of the Hastings, as well as the efficiency and excellent discipline of the crew. Our remarks are fully borne out by the following official document, which attracted our attention in the ward room, and, as our memory is retentive, we give as nearly as we can what we had much pleasure in notic ing " H.M.S.

The Chairman then inquired if Mr. Stafford would be prepared on Monday to be examined, after they had taken some other witnesses. Mr: Stafford intimated he ; and the committee adjourned till Monday.

The 24th being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin of the 26th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" In the Second Chamber an inci dent occurred to-day, which produced some sensa tion. The President ordered a petition to be read, signed by the deputies of Berlin and by M. Al. de Humboldt, praying for the maintenance of Art. 12 of the Constitution, which affirms the political and religious equality of all citizens, and the admissi bility of the Jews to public functions. M. Kleist Bezow protested against the petition being read, because other petitions were not usually read, before the Chamber. The reading, however, having been authorised, several deputies rose and leftthe The same journal containsa second letter of the same date, which says—lt is reported that the Ponehas published a brief to arrange the question of mixed. marriages. Ist his Holiness reserves to himself to give a dispensation for such marriages, ex cept in certain urgent cases, where the right is transferred to the bishop. 2d the non-Catholic party must engage to allow the children to ;be brought up Roman Catholics ; and 3d the bans need only be published in the vestry-room, or at the house of the cure. It is said that several bishops of Prussia have already given orders to their clergy in accordance with his brief." The members of the Prussian police who pro ceeded lately to London to make inquiries con cerning the machinations of the political refugees which might be connected with the plot discovered at Berlin, have returned to the latter They had taken with them to London some con greve-rockets and other preparations of gunpowder which had been seized at Berlin, and a letter from that place declares that they have been found to be of the same origin as those lately discovered at London. A letter from Nuremberg of the 25th states that the Harmonic Society in that city has been dis solved by the order of the Government. ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa has the follow ing from Florence, 23d :—" A few days since a quarrel took place outside the La Croce gate, be tween some Austrian and Tuscan soldiers, in con sequence of the latter refusing to drink with the former. Sabres and bayonets were brought into use, and, although the Tuscans were less in num ber than the Austrians, they had the advantage over their adversaries, many of whom were seriously injured, and taken to the military hos pital. In consequence of this and other similar quarrels which have taken place, it has been deter mined to separate as much as possible the Austrian and Italian troops; the former are to occupy the fort Do Basso, and the latter are to be confined to the barracks in the interior of the city. The poli tical authorities have completed their informations against Martinati, who had been arrested as the principal agent of Mazzini. It is said that the prisoner is seriously compromised by the seizure of letters and papers of the highest importance. It is added that, in the different interrogatories which he has undergone, Martinati oriminated himself with so much simplicity, that the Government agents themselves felt compassion for him." The Basle Gazette contains the following from Friburg, dated the 26th :—The court-martial has determin3d to divide into three categories the per sons who are to be tried by it for being concerned in the late insurrection :-Ist, the leaders ; 2d, the persons who are thus offending a second time ; and 3d, those who are only at their first offence. It is said that the civic guard is to be disbanded in a few days." The Friburg Gazette announces that the Government has called out five or six com panies of militia. The civic guard of Moral was to have been disbanded on the 25th, but the mea sure was not executed, because the Prefect of 'Buhl ' wrote word that there was some effervescence at Greyertz. TURKEY. Danielo 1., Prince of Montenegro, and his uncle, Niegusch, President of the Senate, the Woiwode Iwo Rakoff, and Senator Peter Stankow, arrived at Trieste on the 22d from Cattaro.
