MR. ROEBUCK, M.P., AT LIVERPOOL. On Thursday evening Mr:Roebuck, the member for Sheffield, was present at the annual public meeting of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association, held in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street,, which was filled with an attentive audience. Mr. L. Heyworth, M.P., was in the chair, and on the platform were some of the ildluential members of the association. The Secretary, read a letter from Mr. T. B. Horsfali, M.P., declining to support a resolution of which he bad received a copy, on the ground that there appeared to him to be such a strong feeling in the country—a feeling in which he concurred—against the continuation of the present income tax. This announcement was received with hisses and cheers. Letters of apology for their absence, but expressive of their approval, on the whole, of the principles and objects of the association were read from Mr. J. C. Evart, M.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P., and Mr. It. Glad stone. Mr. Ewart expressed his opinion that he did not think the country was yet prepared to repeal all duties on raw produce and substitute in their stead an equit able property and income tax. The CHAIRMAN, having cimplimented the audience for their attendance, declared that hitherto fiscal legis lation bad been a mere matter of accident, left en tirely to chance or to the cunning of State-craft trickery, and that they wanted to know what sort of fis cal legislation they should have that would be the least injurious to the trade and commerce of the country, and offer the least hindrance to the general accumulation of wealth. He begged their serious attention to what was about• to be addressed to. them, because he said, from a want of correct information, there was a large body of our countrymen who took offence at the idea of paying a tax immediately out of their pockets, and that tax was the income and property tax. He wished no distinction to be made between the rich and the poor, but every man to pay his equal share, and he believed that there was no taxation except direct taxation, such as the income and properly tax, which would immediately attain that end. He wished to point out the benefits that had en sued from Sir It. Peel's adoption of the principle, and hoped that a voice would go forth from that assembly which should be heard in every corner of the country, and that the wrong course men were apt to take on a shallow and superficial view of the subject would be directed and brought back to the only true source of fis cal regulation, which was direct taxation. The Secretary having read the report of the operations of the association, which recommended perseverance in the effort to bring to a successful issue the combined objects of financial reform, direct taxation, and perfect freedom of trade, Mr. DAWSON moved the first resolution, which was— " That the beneficial results of the fiscal changes intro duced by the late Sir R. Peel—changes rendered practi cable by a partial adoption of the principles of free trade and direct taxation—are evident, in the immense develop ment of the resources of the country thereby permitted, and demonstrate the sound policy of extending the opera tion of these' principles in such a manner as to secure still greater freedom to commerce, manufactures, and industry." He pointed out that as the country had now reached the termination of a period of unusual expenditure some of the existing taxes might be dispetsed with, and that they had to decide where the reduction might most fitly be made. He found that 23,000,0001. a-year, or nearly halt the annual revenue of the Government, was already raised by direct taxation, and he asked if that policy should be continued ? He illustrated the beneficial re• sults of direct taxation since its adoption in 1842, when the trade of the country was in a very depressed and de clining position, and expressed his opinion that the po licy was a sound one, and sh iuld therefore be continued. Mr. Caossrtenn briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. ROEBUOIC then proceeded to address the meeting, and was received with protracted and deafening applause. He said he had accepted the invitation so kindly sent him by the Financial Reform Association of Liverpool, be cause he thought by doing so that he should forward the great end of financial reform—not because of any vain notion that he himself had any power upon the matter, but because he represented the great, and he believed what would be the influential association—the Admini strative Reform Association of London. He thought that their views and principles were identical, but he did not bind himself to all the principles which might be enun ciated by the Financial Reform Association of Liverpool. To put their aims under one head, it was that every one in the community should be taxed according to his means. To this aim he had come down from London,to signify his adhesion, and to thank them for all they had done is the great science of financial reform. He said that they in London did not foresee the coming danger as the Liverpool Association did in 1848 ; and, therefore, when the storm did burst upon them they were unprepared. He then referred to the facts which have so often been commented upon in reference to the condition and efficacy of that army which left our shores for the Crimea, which he declared was lost by the in firmity of pur pose of a Ministry, and not by the arms of the enemy. The evil did not arise from transitory causes ; they were inherent in the very administration of the country, and it was for the purpose of putting down that mal-administration they had banded together in Loudon. He related how they had, after two years' labour, discovered that they were on the wrong road, and expressed the honour he felt at being invited to preside at that time over their meetings. He entered into the details of the system they had adopted, and stated that they bad an organisation which would enable them to communicate with ei,se with every post town in the kingdom. They had endeavoured, and would still further endeavour, to learn all the mischief they had endured—first, the mode of taxation itself; next, its collection ; and, thirdly, its distribution. In reference to the first, the Liverpool Association had pointed out and endeavoured to teach the people the great advantages of direct taxation ; but, although he agreed with them, there was something to be said upon the subject of direct taxation which be thought was not said. There had been, and there was then; a strong feeling growing up against the injustice of the income tax. He acknow ledged that injustice, and endeavoured in his place in Parliament to ameliorate the mischiefs of that tax. His idea was that a man who had 100/, or 1,0001. a year from funded or landed property was far more able to pay a tax of 5 or 10 per cent. than the man who made 1001. or 1,0001. a year by his brains or his labour. There were some political economists, but all very rich men, who thought he was wrong. In the House of Commons he said so ; and he recollected Mr. Gladstone, a man well known in Liverpool, telling him that his argument was not to be answered, but that he must have the money. He showed that in the case of the man with the landed or funded capital it remained, but that in the other case nothing was left. What he pro posed to do was to capitalise this 1,0001. a year, and tax it then as they would tax funded property. Then they would ast justly. Or they might take another course, and he pointed out that course in the House .of Commons. They might say to that man, " We will allow you to insure your life; you shall lay by so much every year for the purpose of insurance, and we will tax you for the remainder." This would be something like equality between the man of funded and landed pro perty and the man who earns his income by the exercise of his brains and labour. But that was a sort of process not agreeable to those who govern the House of Com mons, the powerful majority of whom were men con nected with landed and funded property. He said this class were wise in their generation, for they excluded from the operation of the tax all under 1501. a year, thus avoiding giving offence to the working classes of the country, but the middle classes of it they bound band and foot, and treated accordingly. He showed how a working man under the present system of taxation contributed a greater portion to the taxes than the rich man, whose consumption of the necessaries of life, such As tea and sugar, bore a much smaller proportion to his expenditure than the expenditure of the other. He did not join in the cry against the income tax as income tax, but against the injustice of the manner in which it was levied. With regard to the collection of the taxes, every man must knew that the mode was one of impropriety ; it was uncertain, and it was always found that the tax gatherer got rich. There was something peculiar about money—it sticks to the fingers which handle it ; and he had found continuously, in his experience of life, that the tax-gatherer was the most flourishing man in' the small community in which he lived. He therefore are proved of the two associations directing their attention to the mode of collecting the taxes of the country. He considered that mode of distribution involved all the mischiefs of the country. He asked for what were the taxes levied, and explained their object ostensibly. They were for the purpose of protecting the people of a t t h o n e d t P h atl ri" Z e t ' is of la g id ov o e this country,—their persons, their property, and repu tations. He said, when that is fully accomplished all n rn t m h e e n p t e h o a p v i e e b r e e y a o ll n y d be t e h n at attained, requisite any saatwenhdowis m so o na oh ue o h i s th to o l s e e n infrsotimtutthioenspewoopnlet.

He then ail b Et e w r a o y re on y h l!e ch httr d co not to the point at which he supposed they would differ, ?oar i l l struck him that associations such as the one he was eddres-ing arose out of the faulty institutions of the coun try. He said— We ought not to be meeting here, gentle pen. We have people whom we choose every seven ye ars, hose business it is to do the duties we are now doing. I want to know what the Parliament in Westminster sits for. (A. Voice—" That's the point.") Do they sit there to look on while we work ? What is it we are doing now ? We are going into the very discussion into which Parlia ment ought to go night after night. We have our power, .oecaerse the mischief has risen to such a height that peo ple won't stand it any longer, and that they-take this extraordinary mode of expressing their opinion. Now, ,what I wai ttodo is this,:—l want to get at some effect eive instrument to work out the purposes which we are :endeavouring to do in this extraordinary and, if I may :use the term, spasmodic effort. How is that to be done ? :Why, sir, the House of Commons ought to be the watch dogs of the people. Now, what I want to do is to make our House of Commons fit and willing to perform its duty ; and therefore I say, sir, that you cannot expect to have any real financial reform until you have had Par liamentary reform. I have persuaded the AdminisLrative Reform Association of that fact, and the consequence is, we have determined that all our organisation, spreading over England as it does, all the various means we have of influencing public opinion, are to be directed to that end, as well as to the direct aim of the association. And what we intend to do is thie—first of all, to persuade tare people that the great mischief lies in the present constitution of the House of Commons, and to bring your minds round to demand a full reform of that house. ,We intend —and here I am making a bold declaration, and it may, Sir, probably alarm you—we intend to do our utmost to affect the coming elections of this country ; and from that we in tend to direct our efforts to the formation of a. real party in the House of Commons, whose business and aim it will be to act as one man, and make the Ministers feel that we are reformers of financial reform—reformers after the manner of the Finanolat iteform Association. fie (Mr. Roebuck) hoped for their co-operation, and drew a picture ci the construction of the " parties" in the House of Commons, again pointing out the influences which were used by the g reat parties in London to se• cure the vote of Mr. A for Ministers. The great towns of this country were given, a great number of them, the power of returning members of Parliament by the Re form Bill. They chose what they thought to be efficient representatives. Those men, as soon as they got to London and entered the House of Commons, found that Rouse divided in a very curious manner. There was a line ran down it from the very middle, from the Speaker's chair ; and on the one side sat the Opposition, and on the other side sat the Ministry ; and it was ex pected that every man who came into that house should take the one side or the other. There (continued the hon. gentleman) it is, indeed, a fact—there are a certain wild, impracticable, wonderful set of men called inde pendent members. (Laughter.) They wander about in space, like a planet that has no sun round which torevolve. They go about they know not where, and they find them selves in strange places they know not how. (Laughter and applause.) The Minister and his satellites—(a laugh) make their situation a very uncomfortable situation. Rejected from the Ministerial side, they go to the Oppo sition, and there they meet in the same way, with " What do you belong to, and what do you mean ?" and it you don't swear iu the words of one party or the other you are, in the slang phrase, " nowhere." (Laughter and applause.) The consequence of this is, that when these very simple gentlemen come from the north they find themselves as I say—nowhere. They do not, know what to do; and Mr. A. brings up Mrs. A., and Mr. A. is affected through the means so very well known to be employed by the great parties in Lon don. Mr. Ais affected through Mrs. A. Oh 1 I have seen it, and I have known it -so often—that Mrs. A wanted to go to the Queen's ball. The way to get there was to make Mr. A vote with the Minister ' • and when he voted with the Minister she received her invitation (" Hear, hear," laughter, and applause.) I am not speak ing, Sir, without my host upon this matter ; I know well what I am saying ; and I have known instances of cajolery of this kind, of mean appliances of this description —of this sort of low and disgraceful means by which to reach a man's head and his heart, quite as debasing ss the one I have described. (Applause.) Well, then, had these men found, when they came up untainted, untouched, unknowing—had they found a party to which they could ally themselves they would have gone there. (Hear, hear.) But no, finding none such, they wandered to one side or the other ; and let me tell you that, wandering to one side or the other, they got into what I find has a wonderful influence in the north as well as the south—namely, what is called good society. (Laughter.) They found themselves all at once shaking hands with noble lords and ladies ; and it is wonderful, perfectly marvellous, to find, Sir, that gentlemen whom I thought sturdy, well-to-do, well-going, honest men, who have made their way in the world—to find these people bowing down to the very ground, aye, crawling upon their bellies—( oud laughter)—before noble scions, or little petty crratures,who did not know, hardly know, their right hand from their left; but because they signed-their name without• their phriatiau name— (laughter)—tbeee gentlemen were their ; moat obedient, humble servants. (Applause.) Now, Sir, Ido not preclude 'from my reprehension this good town of Liverpool. (Hear.) I find there is a wonderful desire in the princely merchants of this princely town to be thought fine gentlemen in the house. (Laughter.) If they could only hear the sort of criticism and sarcasm that follows their own individual debasement, I think they would be prouder of their position as independent men than sub servient followers. Lady A says to Lord A, who is the Minister (say A, B, C, or P), who is Minister of the Crown, the Prime Minister —my Lady A seY e s " Who is that vulgar fellow, A, that you have introduced to me?" (Laughter.) He says, "My dear, now don't use that language. I acknowledge that fellow to be a vul gar fellow ; I know it—know it as well as you ; bUt he has a vote in Parliament ; now do be civil to him." (Loud laughter.) And so she is civil to him, and the poor man votes ever after as Lord A. bids him. And these are your watchdogs. (Laughter and applause.) He (Mr. Roebuck) wanted to point out through the Ad ministrative Reform Association every time in which a man thus actually departed from his duty a nd betra y ed I his trust to the people, and he believed that they could do that by means of that organisation. He believed they would do much good by instructing the people. Yet if they got to learn in that way tbe feelings of the people upon their representatives they would do much 1 they might publish. It appeared to him that when they more to carry financial reform than all the pamphlets had got together even a very sm all body of men who would say they would act as one males they would make the Minister understand that they would set their fac , against all the maladministration of which he was the instrument. When they had done that, and if they had only gathered together six men who would say so, before next session came there would be added to their number many a revolting independent gentlema n . He ho p ed to se esee everyt the independentchairman joi n constituencyth at pa telling party, and their member he hoped to that he must do so too—that he must not ally himself with one aristocratic part or the other, but that he must consider the people of England. (Applause.) He in stanced the cases where men of worth and ability had been set aside for some empty jackanapes who had just come from college or his mother's drawing. room, ,and who, strutting up the house, was made a great man at once. He denounced the way they paid the army, and reiterated his former phrase,, that it was " an army of lions led 011 by asses." He re ferred to the number of famous admirals England had possessed, and who sprung from the people, and to the scar city of generals. The navy was no t then an aristo cratic service ; the army alway s w as. There was a fine coat, there was Captain So-and-so ; and, as Sir Walter Scott said," Women, like tu rt l es , are t a k en by a piece of red rag." The army was a sort of refuge for the dee titute aristocracy. The consequence of this was seen in the Crimea—a standing ignominy to the 'people of Eng land, who bore such a thing; and not till they had seen the fatal result, the fatal policy, read in such dreadful characters on the plains of the Crimea, did they rise up to ask for army reform. He said that army reform was administrative reform. The consequence did not extend only to that to which he had alluded, but he found, though he was unable to prove it in the progress of the investigation of the Sebastopol Committee, that every step of the inquiry was marked by proofs of corruption, le s t po okuet of, they foul substances, shonuled wanted e anted that corruption laid bare. He tho ught, with the party in able nh h de e knew to b e a f ac t .wou ld no t and that corruption w ent to high pltahceeys. t ta h on e dp Houserhohe theo p ofe hoped that Commons mischief,w haat long exist. In conclusion, he said—l know, Sir, that real honest and distinguished mercantile houses refused to have anything to do with Government contracts, be cause they, were obliged t o p r eface their proceedings by bribing the departme nts. I am not now speaking in a whisper. What lam no w s aying I see the gentlemen b e low will tell to the people of England. A n d l am as sure of this as I am of my own existence—that from the very top to the bottom of the standing departments, the permanent departments, of this country, there is corrup tion to be found. I want this exposed. It can only be done by a united effort on the part of the people of this country, acting through the House of Commons, and upon the House of Commons. This Reform Association may work its heart out, but the people who profit by the or n Perpetrate will laugh it t its finger upon their g ai ns , and they will feel o acorn. isc ß h u ietfs let w t h t i h ch e they of Commons once lay that little finger a very heavy one. It is by their means alone you can effect your purpose ; and I would ask and entreat of you to bear this in mind, that we are acting now, here in this hall, in what I wou!d call in the cant phrase of the!day an abnormal condition. It is not our proper business to undertake the business of the House of Commons ; but we ought to have a House of Commons which would supersede such meet ings as this. In order, then, that we may, by our united efforts, contribute to this great end, I have accepted the invitation to come here. I determined to say what I would have said the moment I appeared before the people of this great town, because I thought, by stating it to an audience like the present, it would make its way through all parts of the country—and I see it will (looking at the reporters). I thought by so doing I should conduce to the same end you have in view, the same end I have in view, and I believe all right-minded men have in view, and I am sure that every man who wishes the prosperity of England Will have in view ; and, having attained that end, sir, I shall certainly have at tained the great end and object of my life. (The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid vociferous applause.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting and moved resolutions approving the , principles of the asso ciation, which were unanimously adopted. A petition in favour of direct taxation was prepared, which; after obtaining the signatures of the inhabitants, is to be in trusted to the care of Mr. J. C. E wart. Votes of thanks having been voted to the chairman and Mr. Roebuck, the meeting separated. From the Landon Gazette of Last Night. WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 22.

TDB FALKLAND ISLANDS. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Ti 771 C :- Sir—My attention has been called, by one of your lead ing articles this day, to a letter by Mr. Eddy, advocating the Falkland Islands as the most eligible situation for a convict settlement. Having resided there seven years and a half as Governor I may be permitted to explain many of the erroneous as sumptions of Mr. Eddy, which his imperfect knowledge of their climate, soil, &c., have led him into. First, I admit that as to the question of economy of transport the Falk land Islands have the advantage over the Australias and Vancouver's Island—not as compared, however, with Hud- son's Bay. The pensioners, or military settlers, alluded to by Mr. Eddy, wero sent to the Falklands during my administra tion in 1849. The expedition consisted of a captain and 30 non-commissioned officers and privates. I was instructed to make over to each man 25 acres of land, on which wooden cottages, brought from England with them, were to be erected at the expense of the colonial Government. Rations, fuel, and a right to employment on public works wwre also secured to them for the first and part of the se cond years; and a right of commonage, in addition to their land, of 100 acres was allowed to each man. On their arrival great discontent was manifested among them, participated i❑ by their officer, and I had much diffi culty in inducing them to suspend their judgments as to the entire impracticability of boths oil and climate to grow anything besides the natural grasses of the country; and it was not until they saw, some months afterwards, a cror of very tolerable potatoes dug in the Government gardet that I could persuade any of them to commence cultivat ing plots of their own. Notwithstanding that there wet() a few of those men indefatigable in their attempts to raise produce of various kinds, not one of them has over suc ceeded in maintaining himself or family by agriculture. Vegetables of all the ordinary descriptions succeed pretty well, provide you raise a wall sufficiently high to protect them ; turnips will, however, grow without shelter. The inability to live by cultivation is not confined to the pensioner class. Up to the present time no settler in the Falkland Islands has ever maintained himself by agriculture alone, and the numerous experiments I made (most of them at my private expense) convince me that it is impossible to do so. Wherever the soil is not pure peat is mixed tip with heavy stones, and it cost me about 301. to clear and prepare one acre in a selected situation for a crop of turnips, and, although I manured it with guano in one part and stable manure and blood iu another, the crop in no way recompensed the outlay. I repeated the experiment after two years with no better result. In gardens, however, I have seen with extreme care turnips as fine, although not quite so large, as I have ever seen in this country. My trials to raise wheat, barley, oats, &c., were complete failures. In ono instance only I obtained a tolerable sample of barley, grown under the shelter of a wall. As Mr. Eddy has introduced Lord Grey's name in his letter, I will merely say that as regards the steps I took for the settlement of the pensioners I met with his lordship's approval, and hav ing transmitted the samples of grain I attempted to raise Lord Grey agreed with me in thinking it inexpedient to encouraging further experiments. The staple produce of the Falkland Islands hitherto has been the wild cattle, and although there is no doubt that since the Government dis posed of the entire property over them and all other wild animals in the island, including horses and pigs, to—first, M. Lafone, of Monte Video, who subsequently sold his con tract, with the consent of her Majesty's Government, to the Falkland Islands Company, the present possessors, the numbers of them have largely decreased. There are and always have been, however, sufficient to supply numerous shipping, both mercantile and naval, touching the ports with fresh beef, to which the settlers and shopkeepers were enabled to add during the last five years of my office vege tables, occasionally fish and provisions of every sort. I am therefore surprised that Mr. Eddy should have fallen into the mistake of supposing that Australian ships are unable to procure refreshments at the Falkland Islands. I admit that, occasionally, the stock of poultry was defi cient, but the impossibility of raising grain or of importing it at prices to induce large breeding of fowls is an answer to that allegation. Rabbits at one dollar per dozen, and any number of wild geese at I.s. each, form, however, some substitute for the scarcity of domestic fowls. Mr. Eddy likewise assumes that no facilities for repairs of shipping exist at the Falkland Islands. I have no me moranda of the number of ships refitted, but I recollect in one week seven large vessels coming into port, most of them seriously damaged, and all (except one, which was con demned as unseaworthy) repaired and forwarded on their voyages. Another instance I recollect of an American ship of 800 tons which struck on a rock and tore off all her false keel and part of her kelson. This ship was refitted, and returned to the United States. I feel it due to the exertions I made, in conjunction with the colonists, to render the islands useful to the vast number of shipping passing them to copy a letter I received from Captain Bar nard, 11. N., of her Majesty's ship Vixen, which entered the harbour in a disabled state : " Stanley Harbour, June 6, 1853. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge with many thanks the re ceipt of your Excellency's letter of the 4th inst., offerii , g all the aid in the power of the local Government should I experience any difficulty in procuring supplies of coals, provisions, and stores required for her Majesty's steamer under my command. Fortunately, I have bees enabled to supply all our wants from the stores of Mr. Dean (Lloyd's agent) at so reasonable a rate that I have taken o❑ board 300 tons of coals and a large quantity of biscuit, flour, and sugar, and shall not have to trench on the Government depots, excepting for a small quantity of wide plank, spe cified in the enclosed requisition, "On my return to Monte Video I shall consider it my duty to report to the Commander-in-Chief the great facili ties that now exist at the Falkland Islands for coaling,wa tering, and procuring every requisite necessary at the shortest possible notice for a much less price than at any other place between this place and England. The arrange ments for watering will enable the largest ship to complete in a day. " I have, &c., BARNA.RD, "Commanding her Majesty's ship Tixen, " His Excellency Governor Rennie." Having thus explained the state of the Falkland Islands as they were when I left them about a year since, I shall only offer a very brief reply to Mr. Eddy as to my reasons for thinking them ineligible for the foundation of a large colony of convicts. A gaol may be formed on any given site, and prisoners may bo coerced to work and to submit to discipline. On those points no difference of opinion exists ; but the ques tion undecided is where that site is to be selected. I have already, in your journal of the sth inst., given, under the signature of " A Practical Man," my views as to the loca lities I think most eligible. I will therefore only now discuss the special merits of the Falkland Islands. Let ns suppose an expedition fitted out on a large scale, with all the needful appliances for forming a settlement. For the first year or more full employment will be found for all the convicts in building prisons, guardhouses, &c. Those works completed, what is to be undertaken with any reasonable prospect of beneficial or remunerative result ? In my evidence before the committee of the House of Lords, last session, June 24, I replied in answer to a ques tion of the chairman (Lord Harrowby), that with the ex ception of a patent slip for the repair of shipping, there are, as far as I can judge, no public works of any great utility required of sufficient importance to employ a large body of convicts ; and as the machinery of the slip must be made in England, its erection would not involve great labour. As to the docks, suggested first by Lord Grey, and alluded to by Mr. Eddy, I was of opinion when on the islands, and subse quent consultations with eminent civil engineers since my return convince me, that the nature of the ground and slight rise of the tides (only about 6 feet) would render the construction, if not impracticable, at all events so costly as to make the attempt highly inexpedient. The facility of water carriage all round the islands is great that roads, if made, would never ha used for heavier goods, and no settler on his unshod horses would ride on them. Draining might to a considerable exten t be cariied et on, hut to move large parties and to guard them in diff e e o r e e ld localities, to cut drains for land of little or no va l A u f e t , er the scarcely be advantageous in any point of view. b e of the Falkland Islands the fisheriesmthyabteirseacknoned the pursuit next in importance ; surelyhboutwi th the necessary boat em ployment unsuited to prisoners required, might escape on board of of whalers, who are, espe cially the Americans, not at allparticular as to whom they never employ any number engage. The cattle farmers canwhole of the criminals must be of prisoners, and nearly maintained by the Government. The term of panishment expired, is there any reasonable probability of the man com mitted settling voluntarily on the islands? Itly experience me to the contrary. Notwithstanding the high c:aur.veisnepersocurable by artisans and labourers, the former, shipwrights, ea rning sometimes 4 and 5 dollars per diem, the latter from 4s. to 65., few of them remain permanently, and the small population is kept up chiefly by fresh arrivals. The hardships endured by the fishermen, although the gains are sometimes considerable, prevent their continuing for any length of time to follow that occupation, and the facilities which now exist for every man who can pull a rope to obtain service on board of the shipping touching at the islands enables the industrious to carry off their earnings to any part of the world, or the idle and vicious to change their residences. I, moreover, doubt exceedingly the great safety of the Falkland Islands as a prison. If you m regulations of very stringent character you will diminish the attraction s of the islands as a touching port for rents and refreshment. No vessels excepting under circumstances of real distress would ever come there, as the freedom and healthy re creations of the crews and passengers would be seriously nterfered with for tho necessary secu of the convicts, Sir—Will you permit me to add a few words to those of your correspondent in this day's paper ? My experience as a seamen abort . the Falkland Islatile and Tierra del Fuego while in command of the Fuegian Mission schooner during the past two years enables me to confute whatVr. Eddy has advanced on the subject ; and I consider that it would be an immense boon to the corn. mercial and nautical world were the Falkland Islands made a lima' settlement. That the colonists would not object to it I know to he the case from what I have frequently heard them say ; an d also from what his Excellency the present Governor has indeed, I believe that so me request has al roef a ten , y told bee m nm e ; made to the Home Government in reference to Of the advantages to be derived by all classes who have an interest in our shipping and commerce I will not now dwell, more than to say that I am convinced many vessels that now pass the Falkland Islanda owing to circumstances connected with the difficulty in getting repairs speedily executed, would, were it a penal settlement with abund ance at our command, call there instead of going to Monte Video, and endeavouring to attract attention to this sub ject and narrative of my cruise lam preparing for publi cation, that I shall be happy to give any public informa tion in my power that may lead to so desirable and such a boon to Cape' Horn ma , iners as the establishment of a penal settlement to the Falkland Islands. With regard to the Fuegian Mission, Mr. Eddy is under a slight mistake as to its being located on East Falkland. It is on one of the west islands, and there are circumstances connected with it shortly to be made public that will show that there can be very little fear of any hindrance being evinced on their part to any plan for the deportation of our convicts to the Falkland Islands. The " peculiar privileges granted to the mission" consist, I believe, only in the per mission to choose a small portion of land in the West Falklands, and purchase it at the usual price, without hat• ing it first submitted to competition by public auction. Wben I left the Falklands in November last the purchase had not been effected. I am, sir,your very humble sarvant, W. PARKER SNOW,i Late Commander of the Allen Gardiner. Grosvenor-hmite, Knightsbridge, Jan. 21. and bliiitary The Imperieuse, 51, screw, Captain Rundle B. Watson, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, having left Port Royal on the 29th ult. Arrogant, 47, screw, Captain Henry Lyster, was to leave Port Royal on the Ist inst., consequently she may be looked for about Sunday next. The Inaperieuse brings no news. She goes into harbour this morn- ng. The Resolute Arctic exploring ship, arrived at Chatham, has had nearly the whole of her internal fittings removed, and yesterday her water tanks were taken out and placed in the dockyard. The men belonging to the dockyard are busily engaged dismantling her, and a great part of her rigging has been removed. She is lashed alongside the Resist ance, but will be removed to the sheer hulk for the purpose of having her masts taken out. The Simoom, iron steam troopship, Commander Cooke, R.N., was officially inspected at Spithead yesterday by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Commander-in-Chief, prior to her being de spatched to Cork to embark troops. The Megaera, 6, iron steam troopship, Comman der Purvis, R.N., had her compasses adjusted iu Portstnout harbour yesterday. Mr. Underwood, master-attendant of Portsmouth dockyard, has been employed for some days past iu selecting a position and laving down moorings on the Sussex coast (off Chichester) for a 42 gun frigate, one of the Coastguard squadron. A number of convalescents from the Royal Military Hospital at Woolwich yesterday appeared before the medical board, and 24 of them, belong ing to the Royal Artillery, were, on examination, pronounced unfit for further duty, and were con sequently discharged the service. Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, accompanied !by his staff, attended at " guard mounting" on parade yesterday morning, and acted as field-officer for the occasion. The troop of Royal Horse Artil lery under the command of Colonel Anderson were marched in the morning through the village of Plumstead, and on the high road for upwards of 10 miles, and returned by the same route to Wool wich. The battalions assembled on parade fronting the barracks, and were put through a course of field-gunnery exercises. The division of Royal Marines Light Infantry was drawn up in the bar rack-square, under the command of Lieutenant and Adjutant Fraser, and subjected to a course of " marching round" and position drill. A court-martial assembled on Thursday after noon on board H.M.S. Impregnable, in Ha moaze, for the trial of Lieutenant Edward Barkley, of the sloop Siren, on a charge of being drunk on the 15th of August while on the South American station. The charge being fully proved the Court sentenced the prisoner to be dismissed the service ; but recommended him to the favourable considera tion of the Lords of the Admiralty, believing that there were extenuating circumstances in the case. An honorary medal for meritorious services, for warded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, was yesterday presented on full parade at the Royal Marine quarters, Woolwich, by Com mandant Colonel John Tatton Brown, to Quarter master-sergeant Daniel John Ryan, accompanied by an annuity of Si., after a service of 30 years, 25 of which he had served as a non-commissioned officer. Having been discharged at his own request, their Lordships were pleased to grant him a pen sion of 421. per annum in addition to the annuity of Si. His brother non-commissioned officers took the opportunity before his departure of testifying their esteem for him as a comrade, and offered him their best wishes for his future welfare. Me dals for long service and good conduct were like wise sent for delivery to Provost-Sergeant Willi im Neils, with a gratuity of 151., and Private James Glass, with a gratuity of Si. The iron screw steam store-ship Industry, Mas ter Commander Allen, of the Admiralty yacht Vivid, in temporary command, left Woolwich yesterday morning, laden with boilers and machi nery for Portsmouth. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander Petley, is under orders to keep in readiness to leave Woolwich on special service. The Inez de Castro arrived at Lisbon on the 16th from Glasgow. Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal, after communicating with Rear-Admiral Dundas, had entered the Tagus. As she came to anchor too close in shore she grounded, but got afloat again on the flow-tide. The French ship Auster litz had anchored, just inside the bar. No news had been received of the Royal Mail packet Tamar.

Mr, Naylor was counsel for the plaintiff, the tenant of Lady Howard, of Castle Rising, whose rights were con cerned ; and Mr. Wilkinson appeared for the defendant. In the course of the trial it appeared that in the year 1852 the defendant's boat drifted upon a marsh let to the plaintiff, and, miles away from a h uman habitation, he continued to reside in it, by degrees throwing up a bank so as to inclose half an acre of the marsh. Here he lived and slept and was merry, although wh when the tides were high, his place seemed like an oasis in the sea, getting his living by fishing and fowling, and sometimes being of great service in cases of wreck. The marsh being of no great value his ",quatting was passed over, especially as tie sent presents of fish to Mr. Royston, the tenant, and ne would not have been interfered with had he not tres oassed so as to create this action. Beyond the hank Hon igold had thrown up, large fl eke of sheep were at too'' tides depa.tured, and Hornigold set up a pony and a donkey to bring his fish, &c., to Lynn, and depas• tared them nn the plaintiff's marsh. This was not allowed, and he was told he mast pay for this ; no t emboldened, he set up a claim of right, a nd now this " action was brought. The judge sai d the case was clear, , down on and that no person had a right to "1", - Lady Howard's or any other p er,on a land,- and gave nominal damages, to which Mr. Naylor, on tne part of the plaintiff, assented.
