CANCER TIOSPITA4 The fifth annual meeting of the friends and sup porters of this excellent charity, was yesterday held At the offices of the charity, Piccadilly—Mr. Oliver Farrer in the chair. There were also present, Mr. W. L. Farrer, Dr. Marsden, Mr. Withal!, Mr. Hallswell, Dr. Knox, Mr. ex-Sheriff Cottrell, &e. The report o f th e committee congratulated the friends of the institution upon its increased useful ness, and stated that the secretary daily received letters of thanks , from the patients who had been treated in the hospital. As the institution became more known the number of patients increased, and the committee had therefore to enlarge the extent of their accommodation for indoor patients. The premises which they at present occupied at Bromp ton could be easily enlarged ; but as the owner of them could not give the institution a satisfactory title, the committee had purchased at the cost of 4,5001., a p i ece of ground opposite the Consumption Hospital, on the Fulham-road, about one acre in extent, and with a frontage of 135 feet. On this area it was resolved to build a new hospital from de signs gratuitously furnished by Mr. Mocat3, capa ble in the first instance of accommodating fifty pAfents, b u t w hi ch. can be enlarged to meet the wants of 300. Thi s building will, it is expected, cost 6,000/, and Miss Burdett Coutts has advanced a loan of 3,000/. 'for that purpose. The total re ceipts for the year, including a balance of 1831. 6s. 7d. from the previous audit, and about 1,3101. in donations, amounted in all to 3,1961. 19s. The expenditure for the same period was 3,0641. 13$. 81., leaving in bands a balance of 1321. ss. sd. The funded property of the institution at present amounts to 3,2001. in the 3 per Cent. Consols. The surgical report having forcibly deprecated the use of caustics, and insisted upon constitutional treat meet in the cure of cancer, gave the following ',sta tistics of the working of the institution from its commencement to the 31st Dec last : Out-patients, Males, 190...

The Lords of the Admiralty paid .their official Eden, Captain A. Milne, Sir Baidwin Walker, B.C. 8., Surveyor of the Navy, and Colonel G. een. Their lordships slept on board the Black Eagle off Chatham dockyard, the Black Eagle having unfortunately taken the ground while steaming up the Medway on Tuesday evening, and at 9 o'clock yesterday morning landed at the Queen's-staire, where guard of honour of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, under the com mand of Cspt. C. J. Ellis, with their band and di visional colours, received their lordships with the usual honours. The Board were received by Cap tain G. Goldsmith, C. 8., Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, and the various officers of the establishment. Their lordships, accompanied by the officers, proceeded to inspect the various ships in course of building and now in dock. They first examined the Hero, 91, screw steamer, building on No. 2 slip. This vessel was commenced in 1854, and is so far completed that she is expected to be launched during the present year. She will be fitted with machinery of 600-horse power. They next visited the Goliath, 80, in dock, undergoing alterations to fit her for a screw steamer. Their lordships afterwards inspected the Charybdis, 21, screw steam-corvette, commenced in March of last year, and laid down on the sam e slip as that from which the Severn, 51, sailing frigate, was launched ; the Irresistible, 80, screw steamer (building) ; and the Hood, 90. Their lordships spent some time in examing the Mersey, 40 screw steamer, which will be the longest frigate in the navy, her length being 337 feet. She is being completed with all despatch, and will be supplied with engines of 1,000 horse power. After inspecting the slip on which the large screw steamer Atlas, 91, is to be laid down, their lordships visited the ropery, mast-house, smitb.ery,and saw-mills, metal-mills, other por tions of the establishment. On leaving the establishments the vi s it ors pro ceeded to in spect the site of th e l arge news team-basins, which are proposed to b e b u ilt at the extreme eastern end of the yard, th e d raw i n gs and plans of which were explain e d t o th e i r lordships. The foundations of the pr .;posed new docks wi l l be ex cavated by, the convices. Th e L o rds of the Admi ralty, having returned to th e d oc kyard, inspected the various improvements now being carried on at that establishment, the most important of which is the construction of the large tidal basin, the length of which is 400 feet. No. 3 dock is also being lengthened 80 feet, which will give its extreme length 325 feet. The construction of both the docks is being carried out by Messrs. Rigby. After inspecting the several improvements now in progre3s at. Chatham Dockyard, their lordships ordered the whole of the persons employed in the establishment to be mustered, which having been done, they were inspected by their lordships, who granted them a h cif-day's holiday. On leaving the Dockyard their lordships proceeded to the Marine Barracks, where the whole of the Chatham division of voyal Marine and Light Infantry, at present at head-quarters, with their band and colours, were drawn up in the Barrack-square, under the com mand of the Commandant-Col. E. A. Parker. The detachments of Marines under orders to embark for China, numbering about 400 officers and men, were formed on the right of of the division. After inspecting the library, barrack-rooms, mess-rooms, &c., their lordships visit d Melville Hospital, and in the afternoon returned to the Admiralty. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Gorgon, Commander George W. Towsey, lait from the Mediterranean, was yesterday morning admitted into basin .at Woolwich and placed under the sheers in order to land her cargo, which consists of 250 packages, among which are some colossal statues in marble of horse=, &c., weighing eight or ten tons each, exca vated by the officers and crew of the Gorgon among the ruins of the ancient city of Halicarnassus, in Asia Minor. Among the smaller discoveries are seine highly preserved mosaics, friezes, &sc., the whole of which aro about to be deposited in the British Museum. The Gorgon having been upwards of three years in commission is under orders to be paid off at Woolwich. The Lady Edington steamer called at Woolwich yesterday morning and shipped a couple of Russian guns, trophies of the late war, for Galway, which have been presented by Government, to be erected in the most public thoroughfare of that town. Master Commander Noddall and the officers of her Majesty's ship dockyard A g acomnnemeentoend with the shipment , with the officers of w . of the telegraphic wire, are to be entert tined at dinner to-day at Belvidere-house, the residence of Sir Culling Eardley, at Erith, prior to the depar ture of the Agamemnon from Greenwich. The brigade of Royal Horse Artillery under the command of Colonel Wood, and the field batteries in command of Colonel Teesdale, were put through the manceuvres of a field-day yesterday on Wool wich-common. The drilling of the garrison in rifle practice still continues at Freshwater East, about seven miles from Pembroke, where a camp for the summer has been established, and detachments in turn sta tioned there for the practice. The annual training of the coastguard has commenced at the dockyard, the men having been for the purpose drawn in from the various stations. Their practice at the great guns has been very good, the broad waters of the haven giving ample scope for the fi r i ng . Lieutenant G. R. laiall Jam been appointed to We regret to announce the death of Admiral J. Bullen (1841), which mournful event occurred at Bath, on th e 17th i ns t , i n th e 97th year of his age. He was born Aprill4, 1761, and entered the navy in Nev., 1774, as midshipman, on board the Pallas ' 36, Capt. Hon. W. Cornwallis, with whom he cont;nued to serve, in the 50 gall ships Isis, Bristol, and Chatham, and 64 gun ship Li n, on the coasts of Africa and North America, and in the West Indies, until 1779. During that period he was present, in the Isis, at the attacks on Red Bank and Mud Fort, in Oct. and Nov. 1777 • and, as master's mate of the Lion, to >k part, July 6, 1779, in the action between Vice-Admiral Hon. J. Byron and the Comte d'Estaing off Granada, on which occasion the latter ship was fearfully cut up, and endured a loss of 21 killed and 33 wounded. Mr. Bullen, who had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant, March 6, 1778, shortly aft'rwarJa joined the Hinchinbroke, 28, Capt." Horatio Nel son, whom he accompanied in 1789, in the arma ment against Fort St. Juan, on the Spanish Main. He then returned to the Lion ; and, on being lent to the Prince George, 93, he participated as officer, in charge of half the middle gun-deck, in Rodney's victory over the Comte de Grasse, April 12, 1782, after a glorious conflict, in which the Prince Geocge occupied a very conspicuous position, and: had 9 meu killed and 20 wounded. On the 6th Feb , 1793, he was appointed to the Agamemnon, 64, Capt. Horatio Nelson, actively employed in the Mediter ranean ; and, -September 11 followine, to the Vic tory, 100, flag ship of Lord Hood, at Toulon. At the defence of the latter plebe against the revolu tionista he held for three weeks the volunteered command of Fort Mulgrave, where the bursting of a 36-pounder killed and wounded every one pre sent except himself and Captain Walter Serocold. In the Proselyte frigate, with the view of rescuing 300 Spanish and eapolitan troops, who would otherwise inevitably have fallen into the hands of the French, he was last, when Toulon was evacu ated, to quit the harbour ; and so impracticable had his escape, in consequence of his voluntary act of humanity, been considered, that Loyd Hood, in the dispatches he was about to send home, had ac tually returned the Proselyte as lost. During the early part of the siege of Basti, in March, 1794, Captain Bullen served as a volunteer under Capt. Serocold, who had superseded him in the Prose lyte, out of which ship they were both burned by red-hot shot, and towards the close of the opera tions he commanded an advanced battery. His services throughout were reported by Nelson in the highest possible terms. He invalided in July of the same year, and was afterwards, in the course of 1796, appointed as a volunteer to the Santa Mar garitta of 40 guns and 237 men, Captain Thomas Byam Martin, and as commander and acting cap tain to the Scourge, sloop, and Alexander, 74, in the first of which ships he assisted in the manage ment of the main-deck guns, and distinguished himself by his meritorious conduct at the recapture on June 8, near Waterford, of the Tamise, of 40 guns and 306 men, of whom 32 were killed and 19 wounded, while of the British only two were slain and three wounded, after a close and gallant action of twenty minutes. Captain Bullen, who was ad vanced to post rank -November 24, 1796, subse quently commanded, for want of ability to procure a ship, the Lynn Regis district of Sea Fencibles from September 26, 1804, until the disbandment of that corps in 1810. He has since been on half-pay. He became a rear-admiral August 28, 1819, a vice admiral November 12, 1840, and a full admiral November 23, 1841. By Admiral Bullen's death his half-pay is saved to the country, for there is no promotion consequent upon his decease. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND. SALISBURY, Wednesday Evening. About a quarter to one o'clock a special train brought his Highness the Prince Consort to the Salisbury station of the South-Western Railway from Osborne. The Mayor having slid a few words of welcome to the Prince, which were cour teously acknowledged, his Royal Highness entarel a carriage, and accompanied by Captain De Ros and his worship drove rapidly off to the show ground, where he was received by Lord Portman and other members of the council of the Royal Agri cultural Society, and by them conducted through the yards. His Royal Highness's visit lasted about two hours, and his chief attention was devo`ed to the stock departments, in several of which he is an exhibitor. At the close of his tour of inspection be proceeded to the episcopal palace, where he partook of luncheon, returning to Osborne in the evening. Although his visit wasa brief and strictly private one, the populace bad turned out in large numbers, and the streets were thickly lined the whole distance from the station through the city to the show-yard; and all along the route his Royal Highness was received with the respect which is due to the hus band of our Queen. Of the collection of stock generally it may be observed that it is on the whole very good, espe cially in the horse, shorthorns, Southdown, and Cotswold departments. The Duke of Richmond's sheep met with an accident on their way to the show, by a spark from the engine to which the waggon containing them was attached, igniting the straw and severely scorching them. They, however, made their ap pearance in the pen allotted them, and, although somewhat disfigured, received a commendation from the judges. The following is the award of the judges of imple ments : AWARD OF THE JUDGES OF IMPLEMENTS. Henry Clayton (of Atlas Works, Londow, for a grass mowing machine-151. Wm. Dray and C for ditto, 51 . Wm.

ETON COLLEGE.—The examination for the prizefounded by George Totane, Esq., for the best mathematician in the school has been conducted this year by Mr. E. J. Routh, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. The prizen.an is the Hon. Lyulph Stanley. The follow. ing are the select in order of merit :—Smith. K. s_ (asAisient-master's senior prizen3ap), Hoare, max,---O ar . ter, K. S., Mozley, mi. K . S. , Routledge—Bo sanquet' Powell, Phillpotts, mi. K.S. , Marindin , Follett, ma , Bagge, ma. The assistant - masters junior p r i zemen aze Daman and Puller, mi. Captain HUDSON, in responding, said every effort should be used by himself and his officers to lay the cable successfully, and he hoped that it would never grow shorter until they reached the stations at each side the Atlantic. (Cheers ) I believe (he co itinued) we shall have no failure—l believe we shall carry the cable out safe, because I have belief in that overruling Providence. It is watching over us ; and I have no doubt when the cable is carr;ed across the Atlantic, and wh'n the electric wires carry the news from one country to another, it will be the means of moralizing the merchants of both nations. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) That is i❑ respect of their wild specula' ion. (Oh !) The ad vantage of talking to each other in the way of trade will make all the. difference. (Hear, hear.) Yes, the truth ought to be spoken. No men will be ruined by great hazarding, by the wild specula tions of putting fortunes in their pockets in an hour. They will be content to plod about the world's buiiness, as I and my brother officers have done here for a period of many years, and I am sorry to say that we are no richer than when we began. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, Captain Hudson proposel "The health of the Chairman, Christo pher Bushell." The toast was most warmly received. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in eloquent terms, assuring the assemblage that the honour of having been appointed to preside on such an occa sinn would be one of his proudest remembrances in after life. In a suitable introduction he then pro posed "The Members of Parliament for the Bo rough of Liverpool and the County of Lancaster." He paid a personal compliment to the members severally, and attributed their absence to the pres sure of Parliamentary business. The toast was duly honoured. The CHAIRMAN next, in an appropriate introduc tion, proposed "The Mayor of Liverpool," which was also most cordially received. The next toa-t was "The Captain and Officers of the ships Agamemnon, Susquehanna. and Leo pard." _ _ Captain SANDE; of the Susquehanna, briefly re sponded, and delecrated his duty in that respect to Mr. Riddenhouse:the purser of the vessel. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Chairman and Directors of the Telegraph Company," coupling with it the name of Mr. Maxwell. The toast having been dnink with all the honours, Mr. MAXWELL responded. He said that he; as a director, bad never allowed himself to doubt of the success of the undertaking ; and if ever a doubt could by possibility arise it would have been ban ished by the fact that two of the most powerful and enlightened Governments of the world had given their sanction and their aid to it. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Electricians, Engineers, and other officers of the Atlantic Tele graph Company." Mr. BRIGHT returned thanks, and in the course of his speech said, he had every reason to believe that within three weeks of the present time they would be able to send a message from her Majesty to the President of the United States. The announce ment was loudly cheered. The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Manufac turers •f the Atlantic Cable." Mr. NEWALL, of the firm of Newall and Co., re turned thanks. He gave a history of the undertak ing of the contract by his firm and its fulfilment wzthiu the given time, and spoke in the most san guine terms of the success of the enterprise. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Merchant Service of England and America," which was re sponded to in happy terms by Captain Judkins, of the Persia, and Captain Lowber of the Ericsson. The next toast " The manufacturing and Com mercial IntereAs of Great Britain and the United. States ; may the existing ties of commerce, lan guage, and relationship be further strengthened by the prompt application of the discoveries of science and art," was responded to by Mr. L. Heyworth and Mr. J. H. Macrae. " The Vice-Presidents and Honorary Secretary" was responded to by Mr. P. H. Chambers, Mr. Macrae, and Mr. J. Finch. " The Ladies" was the last toast, but was, never theless, duly honoured. The company separated shortly before 12 o'clock. Jolliffe's band was present during the evening, and its masterly performance of the various pieces of music introduced was warmly admired. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. The following letter has been sent at his request to Lord Palmerston, as embodying the views of a deputation which waited upon him some days since: " My Lord, —I have the honour, by your lord ship's desire, to submit in writing the representa tion which we were permitted to make at a per sonal conference this morning relative to the esta blishment of an electric telegraphic communication between England, India, and China, to be even tinily extended to Australia. The, ass niation represented by the deputation was the first to propound the line of telegraph to India by the Red Sea ; but, although the proposal was favourably entertained at the India-house, it did not receive such encouragement from the Trea sury as to induce them to carry it out, and they therefore contented themselves with deputing an agent to Constantinople to obtain the necessary Sr mans. " While the agent was prosecuting the negotia tion, another project was started by another party for the establishment of a telegraphic line to India, down the Valley of the Euphrates, and met with favour at the Treasury. A conditional promise was made of a subvention of 12,0001. a-year, and the Hon. the Court of Directors likewise aided the scheme by engaging to continue the line at their own expense, by laying a submarine cable from the head of the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee. " The agent returned at the beginning of the present year from Constantinople with all the con cessions necessary for the construction of the line from Alexandria to India, but the association found an insuperable obstacle in their path in the inter mediate subvention of the Euphrates line. If within the last 12 months since this subvention was con ceded any substantive progress has been made in that line, or it the difficulties of construction bad been proved of less amount, the necessity of the pre sent application might in reason have been ques tioned ; but no s uc h p rogress a ppears to have been the w made, and no opp os i ng o b s t ac l e removed, hi nets-sits of immedi a t e t e l e graphic communication has been rend ere d p a i n fully apparent by the late disastrous tidings from our Eastern emp ire. " The Euphiates Valley line mu st necessarily pass through nearly 1,000 m lles of country inha- biten by barbarous tribes, al ways at feud with each other, and beyond the control of their nominal ru lers. In a communication ren y published in the Times it is stated tha t the Council of Tanzimat at Constantinople has refused to sanction a telegraph through that valley, on the ground that the Turkish Government was unable to protect it. At the same time the establishment of a police by foreigners for i ts m aintenance would not be permitted by the Sublime Porte. It has been suggested ithat some of the influential tribes might be induced to protect it, in consideration of a yearly payment, but acom munication with our dependencies and colonies in the East is a matter of too great importance to be left dependent on the caprice or cupidity of savages. There, appears, therefore, little, if any, hope that a telegraphic line can be established through Meso potatnia with any chance of permanent security un til the projected railway has been completed. " Under these circumstances the Red Sea Asso ciation desm it important to the national interests again to submit their plans to her Majesty's Go vernment. " They have obtained the necessary concessions of the Turkish and Egyptian authorities for the establishment of a telegraph through Egypt and down the Red Sea. They propose now to lay a submarine cable—which will he under their own NE - wspAPER . , ,-c, .'.. , z, el compel . — r e ... :- . ..... 7FIZ „ 10 0, fuddab, and Cairaran Q• . ;fr. n n Z i t,42,," t• '- - -e/ ie, with three intermedi • •' to ' , the Kooria Mooria Islan s,X, l 5 w a r iti, ' .1, and Ras it Had, in the territory of our ancient ally, the Imaum of Muscat. The line fix at the Dardanelles to Alexandria, for which a conces sion has been obtained from the Porte, will be con structed without delay, either by this as' ociation singly or in conjunction with an Austrian company. "The members of this association are prepared to complete the telegraph from Alexandria to India in a period of from eight to 15 months from the time when the assistance of Government is secured and the preliminary arrangements are made. As the distance from Suez to Men is less Oen half the distance from Suez to India, the line to Aden might be completed within a very short periol, and that port is only a weeks' sail from Bombay ; the cost of the line is estimated at 800,0001 ,—that is, at the rate of 160/. per mile upon 5,000 miles. This is considered as the maximum expense, but, as the most heavy item of expenditure consists in the sub nurine cable, it is not impr ibable that the experi ments now in progress with two different descrip ti els of cable—the one from England to America, the other from England to Denmark—inay issue in reducing the cost below the present estimate. " The substantial assistance of Government is esiTntial to the commencement of operations, as it would be impossible without a guarantee to raise the necessary capital. The association would there fore venture to ask her Majesty's Government and the East India Company for a guarantee of 6 per. cent., or 48,0001. a-year, to commence fr nal the completion of the line and the transmission of the first through message, with the undeistanding that all Government despatches shall have preference as to time, and be conveyed at the same rate as pri vate messages, and that all receipts, from whatevtr source, shall he appropriated to satisfy the guaran tee, which will cease and determine as soon as the amount has been entirely liquidated. "The present proposal is male in no spirit of hostility to the Euphrates Valley line, but simply from a conviction that circutmtances will not justify the postponement of a telegraphic communication with India till the railway down the Euphrat s Val ley has been completed, and that the Red Sea line offers the permanent advantages of immediate construction and permanent freedom from inter ruption; but the establishment of a telegraph by which daily communication can be held with India in a few hours appears to be a mat ter of such vital importance that even the con joint encouragement of both lines—that of the Euphrates and that of the Red Sea—may not ap appear altogether unworthy the consideration of her Majesty's Government. " I beg permission to enclose a map, which ex hibits the course laid down by the association. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, "Your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, "j. C. MARSEIMAN, Chairman. "7, Kensington Palace-gardens, July 15." STEAM v. SAIL The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—No period of our Indian history can have been more critical than the present. Its influence over our national destinies c annot be too highly estimated. This empire is in a state of perilous revolt, while the event of the awful drama seems to depend on the wisdom and energy of the men now at the head of public affairs. More than one member of the Cabinet has ventured to assert in the House of Commons that sailing vessals would make as quick a voyage to India as steamers, and this monstrous assertion remains uncontradicted. The First Lord appears to have b. en unaware that screw men-of-war used even as sailing vessels are faster than hired transports. Every schoolboy knows that th-ra is a region about the Equator of constantly recurring calms, in which vessels are sometimes detained for weeks. The writer once fell in with au American c'ipper schooner that had been almost motouless for 27 days. She was not 40 miles from the limits of the variable winds, and but for the supply of water from his ship her crew might have perished in the calm. It is true our screw vessels do not usually carry more than six or seven days' fuel for full steaming. Less than two dap,' half storming would take a ship through the region of calms. The rest of the fuel could be used when calms cc cuffed in other quarters, and, asthese are generally met with in narrow belts only (except at the Equa tor), a short ran takes a vessel into the stea ly breeze again. A sailing vessel bound to India is obliged to make a long stretch to the west ward to get into a position to take ad vantage of the " Trades," while the steamer boldly takes the direct course, so that, allowing for difficulties under every possible circumstance, the latter must make her naszage in much less time than the former. Who does not know the impor tance of minutes in war? U t on minutes may de pend the mightiest interests of nations. Here are weeks to be thrown away, troops disorganized, and subjected to contagion and disuse from long con fioemetit in sailing vessels by the suggestions of common sense and experience being disregarded which are followed in every private enterprise ; but where an empire of some hundred and eighty millions, and even our own position as a first-rate Power, depend, on the plans adopted, and the promptitude with which those plans are carried out, we are, by a short-sighted and erroneous system, doomed perhaps to witness a recurrence of a series of mistakes and catastrophes worse than those which characterized the late war. If the Events occurring in India are such as to require the im portant military measures in progress, they demand equally extraordinary exertion en the part of the navy to take out troops as expeditiously as possible, and in the most effective condition. If sufficient bounties are given good sailors, enough to man 20 sail of the line could be entered in a week. Take the main and lower deck guns out of the ships, man them with able seamen (half the war complement ; the soldiers will temporarily serve as marines, as they have often done before). Each of the larger screw line-of-battle ships could easily convey 1,500 troops, and with a few of the larger steamers in the service, or even hired steamers if necessary, a fresh and effective army could be landed in India in ten weeks from the time of departure. There is another and more rapid mode of coal veying troops, which might soon be made available under urgent circumstances, which at once presents it-elf to the mind. As this is a question of civil war in our own t'.‘r ritories, there would be .no difficulty in obtaining permission for our troops to cross the Isthmus of Suez, the territory of a friendly Power. Elec ricity and steam would give notice for the necessary pre parations being made to move and feed the troops to the shores of the Red Sea. The rapid poital means of communication would convey order to the Government at Bombay t 3 forward every disposable vessel, for the re-embarkation of the troops, and in six or eight weeks our men are in India. _ All the necessary gear for fitting out the ships from England is ready in our dockyards. With the men from the ships in commission at home, those from the various dockyard, and, if necessary, extra men hired from the class of riggers in our great seaports, the ships might be rigged in a week ; the carpenters in the mean time would be setting up the troop-fittings, other hands stowing the hold with provisions, &c., and, if very hard pushed, a squa dron with the troops on board may be under weigh in one week from the moment of commencing pre parations. Hundreds of smart, sailor-like officers are longing for employment, abundance of me n are to be had, steamships of all classes are to be ; ne Beyonded by dispute de cisio the h w e hi er c is h is i m found in the royal naval y ard s as well as in the merchant service. mou t o ns. The welfare of our coun t ry f or ages to com e may be e n arr ived at within a few days. Eyen h siic nn hours are of in estimable value, but red tapeismwith , its insepa rable inefficiency, th rea t ens to render useless our boundless means an d t o risk he loss of our Indian empire. Under present ci • rcumstances we are strong or weak in reference to India as we employ time. Ten thousand troops added to our actual reliable force there, • • • arriving within ten weeks from sailing, would be ten times the value of 15,000 in 14 or 15 weeks hence. Ten thousand men embarked •in screw or steam vessAls capable of containing 15,000, the spare space being appropriated to coals, the power of speed thus gained' would be of more value than the extra 5,000, who could follow in any manner most convenient to arrive in time to clinch the nail which the 10,000 would have so materially assisted in driving home. If so many " Barnacles" have accumulated around our war steamers as to prevent their efficiency in time of emergency, why tax the people to maintain such expensive machinery for the "Royal game of goose, More for ornament than use 01. otuErLsilitinps:lfNVisaTrEAwmh.en Let us rather return to the time previous to our required.—Your obedient servant, seventh H A.: l ::::RA h ra ire Nv a n i London, July 18.
