Co lea COST OF THE FIENCH •ED &MIER
1.:1%1E8.—A vice-admiral in France receives only MO
aicar ashore, and ELMO when afloat An officer of
the same rank in England receives £1,460 in the first
case, and £2,560 in the second. A rear-admiral in the
foruier country receives £4OO a-year • shore, and £1,200
afloat ; with us his pay is £1,095 a-year on land, and
1'2,200 when on active service. The captain who in
Franco is paid £2OO a-year on shore, and £660 when in ,
coutimuid of a ship, in in the receipt of £7OO in the
former case, and £1,680 in the latter in the English
service. The difference in the rate of pay in the ease
of the commissioned officers of • lower grade, is even
more striking. As regards the clam of officers inferior
to these. the pay is pretty nearly the same in both
navies; but whereas in France the wages paid to the
sailors Tenger from £6 paid to the boy, up to • little
less than paid to the first-class seamen; in the
English navy it ranges Irons about £lO per annum to
the boy, opt. £2B paid to • sailor of the first class.
The same disparity exists as regards the sailor', clothing
and food. Notwithstanding cloth costs more in France
than in England, the amount expended for the uniform
, of the French sailor compared with ours is as three to
four; which can only be accounted for by supposing
that we um much better material, for tbe purpose than
our neighbours. In the matter of food our sailors enjoy
signal advantages, the French Government expending
only three-fourths of the amount we expend on the
maintenance of each individual .eaman.
