ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.- Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro duc,d an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication : and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At borne from ten till five. THE WAY TO WIN—To win affections, to win fame, to win a fortune by industry or by business transac tions—in fact, to win without risk or inconvenience—is one of the happiest events on which we can ca:culate. Every one is aware of the power which appea , ance has in gaining the most desirable ob jects, and every person i, convinced that success is often decided by the garments In which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED," " VERY RESPECTABLY ATTIRED," are the most prominent parts of an interesting description. Thus the CLOTHING BUST NEsIS is the first and toremost in the circle of trade, and on its right management the success and comfort of millions in an important measure depends. Therefore, all tasteless, comfortless, and fashion less CLOTI/ING is an infliction on the- patience and pockets of the public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless fame by business transactions beneficialto every class—for the NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or MECHANIC, the best and nest suitable, and at the same time the cheapest, goods are presented. The Holiday Dress for Youths and others provided by E. MOSES and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style and Workmanship, which has no parallel ii this or any other country, arid, as usual, the priceS are much lower than are charged elsewhere. The Hosiery Goods, for Ladies and Gentlemen are, the newest, the best, and most fashionable articles which have been produced. Hats and Caps in every variety for the season, in which superior quality and cheapness will again win the approbation of all purchasers A magnificent stock of Boots and Shoes, not to be equalled in any respect by all other houses combined. E. MOSES and SON, Aldgate and minories, and New Oxford street, corner of Hart-street. The Emigrant's right course is to get a good Ship and a good stock of suitable Clothing: the former is required for his safety, and the latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most places, but a good Outfit only in one Establishment—that is, E. MOSES and SON'S. Shipping information is furnished without any charge, and Outfits are speedily arranged for any profession and o 'cupation for considerably less money than others charge, and at the same time the articles are better in quality than any obtained elsewhere. An outlay at E. MOSES and SON'S is productive of considerable profit to Emigrants, and occasions less inconvenience in sale than any other kind of goods. A separate department is kept for Emigrants. Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on applicatton. or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and S ON re g ret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London Cit Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 84,85, and 86, y Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. 83, London West-end Branch, 506,507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

Such are cases ix., xi., xil., and 'yin. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

Long and practicalclass of dis a experience r.in ex ist in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in weakness,rnfn' ft a dn i e i r tahn o e us . their r ex i s t en ce, traceable to certain pernicious habits, tol o vh i i h is - r d v a D g e e b s ili . n , p v o a t r e io n u e s y forms ,L oa f t of Insanity,and Constitutional Unhappy and endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal manag ement 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 con4equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct antion to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is trteete. In selecting HA , department of practice, he has been amply rev , arded 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.

The Directors, on receiving this information h.d an immediate interview with his Grace, who said there were no objections to the Charter, but that he considered it proper to refer It to the Governors of the respective Colonies, and which he would do by the next mail. As there Is no objection on the part of the Home Governmen', and it being also fully admitted that there is by no weans sufficient Banking accommodation in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, the Directors have no doubt of the completion of the Charter without ally opposition on the part of the Colonial autho rities. rant officer's widow's pension was withdrawn without any equivalent, my lords have no hesitation in concurring with the committee in the expediency of increasing the s pay of the warrant officers as follows, it being distinctly understcod that such increase is awarded partly for the special purpose of enabling them to make provision by insurance for their widows : SEA PAY. 4• Per day.

An increase to this amount has been granted to the army in similar cases by Queen's warrant of 19th December, 1845 . "Men who enter for a period of ten years' continu ous and general service, and complete the time, to be a warded (in granting pensions) the increased allowance for time served as petty officers to which n on-commissioned offi cers of Marines (who enlisted after the Ist August, 1847) are entitled, under the authority of her Majesty's order in Council of the 15th of January, 1849. The eventual expense that will probably be entailed by this proposi tion may be estimated at about 4,0001. a year. " All men who enter for continuance and general ser vice to be allowed to count time for pension from the age of eighteen (as in the Army and Royal Marines), in stead of twenty, as is at present the case in the naval service. " Pensions to be hereafter a warded to continuous and general service men after twenty years' service, instead of twenty-one as at present. A discretionary power to be vested in the Board of Admiralty as regards the appli cation of this rule to men who have served or are serving in the navy, under the present system. "In the event of an armam ent being required, my lords consider it important that this department should have the command of the services of a certain number of trained seamen, in addition to those borne on the peace establishment. They recommend, therefore, that men who shall hereafter be granted pensions for ser vice to be held liable, under the thirteenth clause of the pension regulations (dated Ist January, 1849), to give further service, if required, to meet the exigencies of an armament or of war ; and in order to increase the number of men thus available, they propose that seamen who have served ten years in the navy, reckon ing from the age of eighteen, be granted pensions of 6d. a day each, and men with fifteen years service pensions of Bd. a day each, both classes being held liable to give further service if called upon in the event of an armament or of war. They do not, however, propose to grant men with ten and fifteen years' service, pensions at present ; but to reserve to the Board of Admiralty a discretionary power for this purpose, whenever the state of the force .in commission shall lead them to think that such a step may be taken with a dvantage. " The manning committee have so fully stated the rea sons which point to the expediency of increasing the pay of the warrant officers of the fleet, that my lords do not consider it necessary to enter further into them. It must be remembered that these situations are the highest to which the seamen and petty officers of the fleet ca n e xpect to attain and it is important, in a corres ponding degree, that they should be sought after and filled by the most active and deserving men. The im portance of the duties performed by the warrant .officers cannot be exaggerated. Considering also that the war- ~2~" ~%~~// i +~~ ;% [PRICE SD. most competent and deserving men, they recommend that the following increased rates of pay should for the future be granted : SEA PAT.

C-. _ ~ only seen onelletter of COAST-GUARD. — The committee have come to , the conclusion that it would be inexpedient to alter in any material respect the present constitution of this force, so far as it is connected with the naval service. This force should only be embarked under a requisition from the Admiralty, having the approval of her Majesty, any part of the force not required, or fit to embark, to be available as a coast artillery. The committee recom mend an addition of 500 men to this branch. MEASURES FOR MANNING THE FLEET IN DEER GENCY.—The committee state that they have anxiously considered the means of effecting this important object without having recourse to impressment. They advert to the operation of the registry of merchant seamen, and remark that fishermen, lightermen, and others liable to impressment, have not yet been brought withia..the working of the registry system, although forminv. large portion of the maritime population. Tha t gA t tl? 4 .. local investigation into this pint shduler ROYAL NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS.—With regard to the formation of a coast militia as a part of a naval re serve, they recommend that such a desirable force should be established upon an analogous principle to the pre sent enrolment of volunteers for the land militia. They consider that about 5,000 or 6,000 men, or such addi tional number as her Majesty's Government shall deter mine, might without much difficulty be so raised chiefly through the instrumentality of the coast guard. On some parts of the coast the disposition to 'volunteer may probably be found less favourable than on others ; but, under a system wholly 'voluntary, it does not appear essential that the numbers in each district should be equal ; this might be regulated to some extent by the portion of men which could be conveniently trained at particular coast-guard stations. Mr. Wontner—Y.,..' a • ;t of Gabriel Sans Garret a credit—that as .& credit for 210/. Mr. Wontner tat 1- ter of credit been through the hands of one o rour cornpondents ? * Witness—lt hasVetlif6pgh the hands of A. Mare and Co., of Moscow; *ho are the correspondents of Duncan, Shearman, and Co., of New York. Mr. Mullens—lf; ecvlien Messrs. Mare and Co. saw that letter of credit # iepurported e for a larger sum than 2101., they would not have edit ? Witness —No. Mr. Mullens--But would ha - It back to the person who presented it to them ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Mullens—Have you received any advice from Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co., to pay money to Gabriel Sans Garratt except that letter of credit No. 41? Witness—Never. Mr. Alderman Wire—ls it the custom of those who issue these letters of credit to advise all the correspond ents, or only the Union Bank ? Witness—Only our own bank. Mr. Alderman Wire—Then the parties on the Conti nent to whom that letter is addressed would not see the advice as to the amount. Witness—No. Mr. Alderman Wire—They would only see what was to be advanced upon the letter of credit itself. Witness—Yes. Mr. Mullens said he would now proceed to examine witnesses upon the subject of the Berlin bill. M. Alexis Marcchaux was then sworn and examined through an interpreter, as follows :—I am in the service of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, bankers, at Berlin. On the 2d March last, the prisoner was at our bank ; I am quite sure he is the person. Messrs. Shickler and Co., are the correspondents of Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co., of New York. They pay money upon Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co.'s general letters of credit against bills of exchange drawn upon the Union Bank of London. On the 2d March the prisoner re- • ceived from Messrs. Shickler the sum of 5001. sterlin against the bill no w p ro d uce d. I saw the prisoner signg the bill, which i s d a t e d B er li n, 2 d of March, 1853, for 5001., upon the Union Bank of London, to the order of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, on account of Messrs. D. and Co.'s letter of credit. No. 41, and it is signed Gabriel Sans Garrat: I did not see the letter of credit which i s ti i s red-,toin Vie' bill. The money' was paid to the prisoner upon, the faith of this bill, which is filled up by - one of toignature. According to thertiMAl of our bank the letter of credit would be shown to Mr. Schultz, who would not make out a bill of exchange for a larger sum than the letter of credit I make the bill out from the instructions I get from the principal. The letter of credit would be delivered to Mr. Schult by the cashier, in order that he might endorse upon it the amount of money paid. The prisoner remained on the day in ques tion in the presence of one of the/principals and myself, at the bank ; the money was brought into that room and paid to the prisoner, and there the prisoner signed the bill before receiving the money. The first endorse ment is by Mr. Shickler to Mr. Drory, the manager at Berlin of the Imperial Continental Gas Association. Mr. Wontner—ls it the practice of the house to keep a copy of the letter of credit 1 Witness—No. Mr. Isaac Walton—l am the clerk to the Imperial Continental Gas Association at their offices, No. 7, White Hart-court, Lombard-street. Mr. Leonard Drory is the manager of the Association at Berlin. The signature, L. Drory, upon the bill produced is in Mr. Drory's handwriting. The directors of the Association. endorsed the bill to Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co. Mr. W. M. Holmes—l am clerk to Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. On the Bth of March last, I was in the service of Mr. George Michael Harrison, a notary. On that day I, on behalf of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co., presented the bill produced to the Union Bank of London, when the answer I received was, " the credit, No. 41, against which this bill is drawn, is all paid." Mr. Debenham recalled : Mr. Wontner—You stated that you only pay upon these letters of credit when you have received advice from Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co. Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—Not till you have received advice. Witness—We should not dishonour their signature although we had not received advice. Mr. Wontner—But supposing a letter of credit had been issued apparently by Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co, and you had received no advice when it was presented, should you not defer until you had received advice ? Witness—That would be a case for our discretion ; it would not be in the ordinary course of business ; but such a case has never occurred. Mr. Wontner—You have never paid any of Messrs. Duncan, F Shearman, and Co.'s letters of credit till you have received advice from them ? Witness - -No. Mr. Wontner—Supposing a bill of exchange to be drawn by a third person against a letter of credit which had not been advised, I presume under no circumstances would, ou pay it. Witness—Decidedly not. Mr. Wontner—You remember the first occasion of the prisoner coming, when he received of you a portion of the 1001. Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—He showed you the letter of credit? Witness—Yes. Mr. Wontner—Did you tell him that you would look to your correspondence to see whether you had any advice upon it ? Witness—l do that always. Mr. Wontner—Did you not say to him, "I will look to our correspondence and see whether we are advised upon it ?" Witness—l may have made that remark—it is natural enough. I generally say I will look to the advices. Mr. Wontner—Would you take the letter of credit away with you, or would you in his presence look to the advices ? Witness—lt is all public, whether I take it away or not ; there is no screen. I should, in his presence, look for my letter of advice, and if I found it inspect it. Mr. Alderman Wire-- Always in the presence of the party presenting it ? Witness—Yes ; I may say always. Mr. Alderman Wire—No question seems to arise upon that, because the prisoner had not exhausted his letter of credit. Mr. Edward Merewether—l am proprietor of the Albion Hotel, 3 Bridge-street, Blackfriars. On the Bth March the prisoner came to stay at my hotel. He di not give me any name. On the 11th, he said he should probably dine there. He returned between three and and four o'clock in the afternoon, and in a hasty manner ordered his bill, and went away in a cab in a great hurry. Charlas Thane (the officer)—l was at the shop of Messrs. Moses and Son on the afternoon of the 11th March, with Mr. Debenham ; the prisoner left there in a cab. I followed him in another cab to the corner of Bridge-street. I there lost sight of him ; that was as near as possible half-past 2. I have seen the driver of the cab in which the prisoner went away from Mr. Merewether's hotel. Mr. Rudolph Prommel—l am manager of Messrs. Monteaux's money-changing office, in the Haymarket. On the morning of the sth March, the prisoner came to our office and brought about 670/. in Fredericks d'or, Louis d'or, Napoleons, and florins, for which I paid him the sum of 6741. by cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co., our bankers. I asked him his name ;he replied Louis Oriel, and I wrote it down. He told me that he lived in Commercial-road East. On giving him the cheque, he said he had also about 100 Russian half-imperials which he brought on the same aft ernoon , a b ou t half past three o'clock, and for which I gave him another cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co. for 8141. I accom panied him to the bank, and saw him receive cash for the cheques, amounting to 1,4881. Mrs. Susannah Abbott—l reside at 53, Cambridge street, Edgeware-road. The prisoner lived in my house from the 15th to the 29th April. He said his name was Permentel. Mr. Mullens—That is the case upon the bill of ex change given by the prisoner to Messrs. Shickler. On a future occasion I shall be prepared, on the arrival of Mr. Wilson, who has been sent for from St. Petersburg, to go into the case of bills amounting to 3,8001., also in pursuance of this supposed letter of credit, No. 41. Mr. Alderman Wire—How do you shape your charge, Mr. Mullens ? Mr. Mullens—The charge I make against the prisoner is that of attempting, by false pretences, to obtain the sum of 500/. from the Union Bank of London, and I ground that charge in this way—the prisoner goes to the banl:ing house of Messrs. Shickler at Berlin, and there makes a statement to them, either verbally or in wnroitticnagr,eanwdbicsligi,nbeudt blyvhihchimisselaff,tetrhwatard i ns o h i e ldo h n as th a e ut s h u o m rit o y f reducedpursuance , in to a certain letter of credit , No. 41, from oo signs it.

He e Duncan, pfruo tms t the h S a et h e i an Unionrt m o awn writing, and ta nnkg ofaCo.,n Loudon bill of exchange ; it may be a letter or anything, but it is addressed to the Union Bank of London. -According to the facts which have come out to-day upon the evi dence of Mr. Debenham, I will take it to be sufficiently proved—for the present at all events—that that pretence is wholly without foundation, and that th e pr i soner at that time had no authority to draw upon the Union.

I suppose that this to pretence was made at Berlin, and therefore is a pretence not within the juris diction of th e t r ib unals of this country.

Mr. Wontner, in the course of a very able argument, and at considerable length, contended that the prisoner had not been proved to have committed any offence rendering him amenable to the laws of this country, however much he might have transgressed the laws at Berlin. Mr. Alderman Wire—This is a case of so much im• portance both to the commercial world and to the pri soner himself, that I shall remand it in order that I may have time to consider the law as applicable to the case, whether or not I have authority to send him to trial ; because I would not subject him, a foreigner, to the ignominy of a trial unless I thought a conviction would follow. Therefore I shall remand the case for a week, which will enable Mr. Wontner, who says he has not had time t-co look into the cases, to make himself better have, • soner that the prisoner must with the state of th e law, so as to shake, if I he can, the impression t hat must be committed for trial. Tlfe prisoner was then remanded for a week. MANNING CLAUSES IN MERCHANT SEAMEN'S Acr.— The committee allude to the complaints of the merchant shipowners of the existing restriction as to the propor tion of British and foreign seamen forming their crews, and remark that they could not but regard any proposal for the abandonment of those restrictions without serious apprehensions of its effect upon the naval power of the country. GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—The committee recommend that in all cases reference should be had to the character of the men previous to their admission to this establish ment ; and they call the attention of the Admiralty to Certain suggestions made by the governor of the institu tion for improving its internal management. AMOUNT. OF FORCE TO BE RETAINED IN ENGLAND.— The committee submit the expediency of maintaining the navy in commission at such a numerical force as, independently of the Channel squadron, will admit of 10,000 seamen and boys, exclusive of officers, being re tained in England for the protection of the ports and coasts of the United Kingdom, and suggest that 1,000 additional Marines should also be kept at home for the same purpose. They consider that the sudden fluctua tions to which the naval force has heretofore been sub ject ought to be prevented. _ _ CONCLUSION. —The committee express their concur rence in the opinion of previous committees of the House of Commons with regard to the policy of relying upon our naval power as the right arm of our strength, and conclude by indulging in a sanguine hope " that the various measures which we have recommended will sub stantially promote the welfare of the seamen and the efficiency of the naval service, thereby establishing our maritime power on a more solid and secure foundation."

"Having reference to the increased responsibility at taching to the situations of commissioned and chief boat men, their lordships recommend that time served in the former capacity should count as first class, and in the latter as second-class petty officer's time, in awarding pensions ; and whereas coast-guard men from the .nnl serviee are now entitled to higer gratuities than seamen it appears desirable that the former should be placed on the same footing as the latter. "An estimate is transmitted herewith from the Ac countant-General of the Navy, showing the total ex pence that will eventually be incurred by the proposed increase of pay to the warrant officers, petty officers, and seamen of the fleet. The sum that will be required for the ensuing financial year will not, probably exceed 55,000/. ;and it is estimated that the surplus under vote No. 1, of the naval estimates, will be sufficient. at the close of the next financial year, to meet this additional expense. " The pay has been voted for the whole number of men from the sth of April next. The number entered falls short of the number voted to a considerable extent; and the deficient number will not probably be completed for four or five months. Hence arises the estimated surplus sufficient to cover the increase of charge for the ensuing year. A large proportion of the increased pay and allowances is contingent on the voluntary adoption by the seamen of the altered terms of entry and of ser vice. " Considering the great national importance of the objects to be attained by the proposed measures, the increased maritime strength which will be gained, when they shall have proved succeesful ; considering also the necessity of increasing the pay of the royal navy to a rate more nearly corresponding to that of the American and merchant services, my lords earnestly hope that the above expense will be freely sanctioned by her Majesty's Government ; and they request you will accordingly move the Lords of the Treasury to signify their early concurrence therein, in order that the necessary steps may be taken without loss of time, for bringing the pro posed measures under the consideration of her Majesty in Council, before they are brought to the notice of Par liament.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMMITTER:—ThO subjects re ferred to the consideration of the committee were :- 1. The entry and training of boys and seamen, and the periods of service for which they are engaged. , 2. Whether such periods of service could be Advan tageously extended ; and the regulations which it• would be advisable in such case to adopt. 3. The practicability of permanently retaining the ser vices of boys and seamen, as is the case with the Royal Marines, so as to ensure the means of rapidly manning her Majesty's ships when required for service. 4. Whether a period of service abroad might be fol lowed by a period of service at home, in the coast guard, dockyards, or home ports. 5. Whether a reserve of seamen might not be orga to remain in England, reference being had to the scheme recently laid before Parliament for that purpose. 6. What measures could be adopted at the present time in order to secure the services of a large body of seamen for the defence and general service of the coun try, in a case of emergency. 7. The questions of pay and prize money, and espe cially the clause of the Act 5 and 6 Will. IV., cap. 24, relating to bounty. 8. All regulations at present in force relative to petty officers and seamen gunners. 9. The award of good-conduct badges and of pensions. 10. The entry of seamen into the coast guard and dockyards. 11. The admission of seamen into Greenwich Hospi tal, and their support therein. . _ The committee's recommendations comprise the fo: [owing : BOYS OF THE SECOND CLASS.—They propose that the ago of eighteen (instead of twenty, as at present) should be the age from which boys and seamen, entering the navy under the new system, should be allowed to count their time for pay and pensions, according to the rule now in force in the Royal Marines, under the pro visions of the act 10 and 11 Vic., cap. 63. All boys under the age of eighteen, who hereafter enter the navy, to be required to engage for a period of ten years' con tinuous and general service from the above age, in addi tion to whatever periods may be necessary until they at tain that age, which is the course now followed in the case of boys who enter the corps of the Royal Marines —thus, a boy entered at fourteen, would be required to engage for a term of fourteen years' service. They deem it advisable that the entry of boys and seamen should be as general as possible throughout the United Kingdom, and that particular attention be given to obtaining a more equal proportion from Scotland, the population of which, from their hardy habits and steady character, are well adapted for the naval service. BOYS OF THE FIRST CLASS.—The qualification which should be required for boys entering in this class is, that they should have been at sea, or have been accus tomed to boats, although this qualification should not be held to be indispensable in the case of promising lads who are found fit for service in other respects. Good conduct badges should be given, the time they are worn being allowed to count towards seamen's time for good conduct badge and pay in the proportion of two years' boy's time to one year's man's time, and promotion should be given to the rating of second-class ordinary or ordinary seamen in special cases of good conduct and ability in boys at the age of eighteen ; whilst discharge by purchase should be permitted upon a graduated scale, according to length of service, &c. SEAMEN.—The committee recommend that, first, petty officers and seamen who volunteer for a period of ten years' continuous and general service, to have the highest advantages of pay and short-term pensions here after mentioned, time b e i ng coun t e d f rom th e age o f eighteen, and to be eligible for every reward open to deserving seamen ; secondly, seamen may also be en tered as heretofore under the provisions of the act sth and 6th Will. IV., c. 24, which renders them liable to be retained for five years' service, and subject to re moval from one ship to another during that period, at the discretion of the Admiralty or Commander-in-Chief, to meet the unavoidable and urgent requirements of the service ; the pay and pensions of seamen under this head to be at the rates hereafter proposed. Servants, musicians, bandsmen, barbers, and tailors should be always be entered under the said act, and not be con sidered as forming a part of the permanent navy. The triennial period of service should be adhered to where the public service admits of it, and when the period of service is temporarily extended under emergency, the seaman's pay should be proportionably increased. Bounties should be granted to volunteers in time of peace ; and the wages of seamen entering for ten years, in addition to the present rates, should be :—For 2d class ordinary, ld. per day ; ordinary, 2d. ; A. B.'s and petty officers, 3d. Men re-entering after ten years' service, for five years more, have their additional pay raised thus :—Ordinary, from 2d. to 4d. ; A. B. and petty officers, from 3d. to sd. ; and men who have been ten years in the service under the old system from the age of twenty, and who enter for a further five years, to receive an addition of—ordinary, 2d. ; and A. B. and petty officers, 3d. 11Ien who have completed a period of fifteen years' continuous and general service, from the age of eighteen, to be granted pensions varying from 7d. to 9d. a day, provided they have not been out of the service more than twelve months. Men in the re ceipt of such pensions to be subject to further service, as hereafter pointed out. After twenty years continu ous and general service, from the age of 18, to be granted pensions from 10d. to Is. 2d a day, provided they shall not have been out of the service more than a total p eriod of five years. The pensions for hurts under the new system to be, under ten years, from 3d. to 6d. a day ; after ten years and under fifteen, from 6d. to Bd. a day ; after fifteen and under twenty, from Bd. to 10d. a day ; after twenty years, 10d. to ls. 2d. a day. TRAINING.—The committee recommend, in connection with the formation of a permanent navy, the mainten ance of a force at home for the protection of our arsenals, &c.. and the beneficial employment of the seamen com- com posing it, that the n umber under training in the Exce llent, and her tenders shou ld be increased. PETTY OFFICERS.—As an encouragement to the ser vice generally, the service recomm end the establishment of the following class of chief petty officers, to corres in some measure to the higher rank of non-commissioned officers in the army and marines, viz.:—Provost-mar shal,; or master-at-arms, chief gunner's mate, .chief boat swain's mate, admirals coxswain, chief catain of fore castle, chief quartermaster, chief carpenter's mate, sea men's schoolmaster, ship's steward, ship's cook ; and petty officers are to be induced to mess together, to up, hold better discipline and elevate their position. GUNNERS, BOATSWAINS, AND CARPENTERS.-CO vinced of the great advantage which the public service would derive from those situation% being filled by the MANNING THE NAVY. Copies of a correspondence between the Board of Treasury and the Board of Admiralty, on the subject of the manning of the Royal Navy, together with copies of a report of a committee of naval officers, and of her Majesty's Orders in Council relating thereto, have just been presented to Parliament by command of her Majesty. The following is an abstract of the contents of these important documents : " R. Osborne, Esq., Secretary to the Admiralty, to J. Wilson, Esq., Secretary to the Treasury. " Admiralty, Mareial, 1853. " Sir, —I am commanded by my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the in formation of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, that they have had under their consideration the important subject of the manning of the Royal Navy. _ _ "The difficulties attaching to the present system of manning her Majesty's ships have engaged the attention of different Boards of Admiralty ; and various regula tions have from time to time been adopted with the ob jects of improving the condition of the seamen and of inducing them voluntarily to enter for longer periods of continuous service. Hitherto, however, so far as the latter object is concerned, no satisfactory results have been produced. " The difficulties are inherent in the system itself, which consists in entering men for particular ships se lected by themselves, nominally for five years, but, practically, according to immemorial usage, for three years' service, unless the ship be detained on a foreign station for a period longer than three but less than five years ; and then, after much expense, time, and labour bestowed in training them, they are disbanded, and are often lost to the service. A certain portion of the men thus discharged never return to the navy. Some carry the fruits of their training to foreign flags ; the larger number return at periods dictated by their own inclina tion or convenience, and not by any regard to the wants of the service. This desultory mode of proceeding is a cause of great embarrassment and expense in conducting the ordinary duties of the naval service. It creates un certainty as to the period when ships may be expected to be ready for sea; and the evil becomes one of great mag nitude, and a serious danger, when political considera tions suddenly demand the rapid equipment of her Ma j esty's ships. "These circumstances induced the late Board of Ad miralty to appoint a committee of naval officers to in quire into the expediency and practicability of engaging men and boys for longer terms of continuous service. The committee having fully investigated the subject, and taken such evidence thereon as they deemed proper, arrived ' unanimously at the conclusion that it was ex pedient to place her Majesty's navy on a more perma nent basis, upon a similar principle to that established in the Army and Marines, and that solid advantages, both to the Crown and to the seamen, would result therefrom.' A copy of their report is transmitted here with for the information of the Lords of the Treasury. "My lords fully concur in the view above expressed, and they are of opinion that it is essential to give to the royal navy a permanent constitution, in order that it may be brought to a higher point of organisation, effi ciency, and discipline, and thus be enabled at critical junctures to fulfil the expectations of the country. With this object they propose to bring under the con sideration of the Lords of the Treasury such of the pro positions of the committee as involve an outlay of pub lic money, and which my lords confidently believe it is the real interest of the country to carry into effect. " All boys under the age of eighteen, who hereafter enter the navy, to be required to engage for a period of ten years' continuous and general service from the age of eighteen, in addition to whatever periods may be necessary until they attain that age ; and when ad vanced to the under-mentioned ratings la be allowed the rates of pay specified below, in addition to the pre sent rates of pay of the royal navy : Second-class ordinary seaman Ordinary seaman Petty officer and able seaman "My lords propose that the above increased pay should likewise be granted to men who hereafter enter the navy for the first time, and who volunteer for ten years' continuous and general service, and also to sea men who have served or are now serving in the navy, and who volunteer to continue therein, certain portions of their previous service being allowed to count towards such ten years. "Men whose period of service may, in the event of an emergency, be temporarily extended, to be allowed 2d. a day (in addition to the pay of the rating they hold) in lieu of the present proportionate rate of pay, viz., an increase of one-fourth. "A class of leading seamen to be established, with 2d. a day in addition to any other pay to which they may be entitled. A third of the carpenter's crew to be composed of shipwrights, who should also be granted 2d. a day additional. " Men and boys to be permitted to purchase their discharge upon a principle similar to that in the army and marines. " My lords consider that it would be beneficial to the service to establish the following new ratings of petty officers in sea-going line-of-battle ships, and in certain special cases in ships of lower rates, with the under mentioned pay, in addition to any pay to which they may be otherwise entitled Chief gunner's mate ... Chief captain of the forecastle 3d. Chief quartermaster 3d. "As encouragement to deserving petty officers, my lords propose that an increase should be made, as fol lows, in the number who are eligible to be recommended for good-conduct gratuities when ships are paid off : . 3d. DESERTIONS FROM THE NAVY. We noticed in our last week's publication the credit able manner H.M.S. Hastings was paid off—every man orderly, sober, and clean, and from their healthy and youthful appearance we may very reasonably suppose the ship's company to have been one of the best in the ser vice; but the question now is, where are these fine body of efficient men? Are they in , the service, or likely to return to it ? We feAr ir ap,k. , As we said before, allure ments abroad hold - out,ELEFonger attractions than employ ments in H. H. shipii, and We much regret it is not in our power to contradict the statement which we made last week as to the innjcir - part of the men having united to go over to the diggings in• the manner we then de scribed. , We sincerely wish it was in bur power to induce the Lords of the Admiralty to lose nts time in adopting such favourable measures as would raise in Jack's mind a greater interest, and thereby a stronger tie, to remain in a service in which he has been reared almost from child hood to manhood. When no longer able to serve his gracious Sovereign from age or incapacity, how well it would become a grateful nation to bestow upon Jack for his long and faithful services a moderate competency which would enable him to live happy and contented all the days of his life. The great difficulty heretofore has been to procure hands to man our ships, and now it would appear a greater one is arising to keep men to the service whom you have had in it for years. Existing pensions were formerly thought adequate to answer the fulfilment of all good purposes, but it is now conclusively evident that greater allurements have come to the views of the sea man, so as to induce him to seek greater a dvan tages in a distant land. The present system of entering boys in the service as apprentices, for ten years, is un - questionably an admirable regulation, and time was when such servitude would have kept them to the service on arriving at manhood, with favourable retiring prospects before them ; but then there existed no load-stone to attract them (as they think) into a more profitable path to the diggings. Be that as it may, it is now too evident that the time has arrived and the necessity is most urgent, for at once adopting efficient means to check the ardent desire of our brave tars for emigration, for in the event of its continuance Briton's best bilwarks will be left unmanned and undefended. If this be the case in profound peace, what alternative have we left in war but to return to that most arbitrary of resorts—im pressment ; alike un-English, and unconstitutional ? Many have said we can, in the event of a sudden break out, fall back upon our Coast Guard, forget ting that numbers of the men in that service were never brought up to the sea, and many more, although qualified in every way as good seamen, yet from age, and rheumatism generally following, ren der them anything but efficient. At the same time, we admit, as an auxiliary, they would add much to our naval • strength by being distributed amongst different classes of ships, and it would be still more advantageous if prac ticable to complete the complement of men in each ship to a full ship's company, with younger and more active men.—Portsmouth Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.— Gabriel Sans Ga:rat, who has been in custody for some days upon a charge of having uttered a forged letter of credit, by increasing the sum of 2101. to 5,2101., was again brought up in custody of Thane, the detective officer, and placed at the bar before Alderman Wire, for further examination. Mr. Mullens said, that on the former occasion, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, he had charged the prisoner with unlawfully attempting to obtain, by false pretences from the Union Bank of London, the sum of five hun dred pounds ; that he had shown his friend, Mr. Wont ner, a copy of the depositions which were then taken, but thought it desirable that the evidence should be read over, as it would be necessary to put to Mr. Debenham a few additional questions. Mr. Debenham was then called, and his former depo sitions having been read, he was further examined as fol lows :—The letter of credit, number 41, was in favour of the prisoner, Gabriel Sans Garrat. The whole amount paid him was 1001. I produce the cheques which the pri soner signed for the 1001. I saw him sign these cheques. I have my letter of advice from New York. I filled up the cheques produced for the prisoner to sign. Each of these cheques purports to be drawn against Messrs. Duncan and Shearman's letter of credit, No. 41, Before I paid any money upon that letter of credit I compared it with my letter of advice, w ith which it cor responded. The Union Bank have paid upon the order of Gabriel Sans Garrat the whole of the 2101. men tioned in that letter of credit. I produce the bills drawn by the prisoner against that letter, amounting, with the three cheques, to 2101. I saw him sign the three cheques. There are five bills. I believe the sig nature to these bills, "Gabriel Sans Garrat," to be the signature of the same person who signed the cheques . The dates are as follow : — Berlin , 4 th January 1853, 251. ; Berlin, sth January, 101. ; St. Petersburg 18th ' January, 4 0 /. ; Moscow, 17 th January, 25/ • Nfos 24th January, 101. All these bills upon the facee woi them purport to be drawn against Duncan and Shear man's letter of credit, No. 41. When I paid the 1001. I returned the letter of credit to the prisoner. Mr. Wontner—The letter of- credit is e e r ;hausted, is it not ? Witness—lt is. Mr. Wontner—Supposing you had paid the 2101. instead of the 100/. ; what should you have done with the letters of credit ? Should you have kept it ? Witness—The instructions to correspondents aro for the party paying the last amount upon the list of credit to detain it. Mr. Wontner—And you would have done the same, of course, if you had paid the whole amount of the credit ? Witness—Yes. DR. KING'S SARSAPARILLA COCOA.
