time took Sir Richard and staff on board, thin re-
seals:od at anchor off the Horn, and for a period of
about six weeks that large steamer was lying perfectly idle.
Then took the Rifle Brigade oa board for the second time,
and at the end of June received orders from Admiral Boner
to return to Ragland, and take nothing but a large
quantity of provisions, which the captain could not get
remmed from . the ship. Mark, these provisions
were brought home when the army was dying for
want. Mu also brought home empty casks and flour barrels
which had been aemumalating. Notwithstanding repeated
applications the espial. maid get no authority to land and
destroy them, though they were perfectly worthless and
took up valuable spasm on board. In tracing the progress
of one ship he was treeing, in feat, the progress of them all.
Be hod the progress of another, but it was of a eledlar
character. Bbe arrived off the Alma the day after the bode
of the Alma; the «ptain reported particularly having a
load of largesse on Ward, bat there was no call for them
for twenty-lour hours after snivel, though that was a time
when such an outcry was mind for surgeons. Now, he
thought it necessary to call the attention of the hones to
the question of delay, end he thought It the more necessary
to do this because it had bees stated in another place that
there had been no detention with regard to these transports,
and that they had always been regularly snd fully em-
ployed. Now he would merely refer the house to the het
I that two large steamers were at that moment lying idle
at Deptford, sorting the country twelve thousand
pounds per mouth. They were boats that had been
employed between Bremen and New York; they had been
lying there for three weeks. On the day they arrived
they were ready to go to sea, but they had been
lying there three weeks fitting up the berths for the
soldiers, which might have been easily done in two days,
Ice fast in one day. He had no beekeeper in saying, that of,
the 8,000,0001. they had voted, 2,000,0001. had been wasted
through uneeemeary delay. What was the came of it ?
It mast be borne in mind that a great portion of the suffer-
fags of our troops arose from the inefficiency of the trans-
port by ma sod land. He was not prepared to say the fault
wee with the Admiralty ; he believed it rested oa the whole
miens, which was radically wrong and required a thorough
reviska sad reform. What was the system? The War-
e/fie, or the Ordasnerofike, or the Commissariat sent word
to the Admiralty that they wanted a certain amonat of
teensperts. The Admiralty got the transports, but when the
ships arrived the troops were not there, or the stores were
sot there, and the ships had to wait them. Another
muse of delay wee, that each department sent some one to
superintend the stowage of its own packages, and the most
ludicrous instances had happened of the wrangling of the
men belonging to these different departments as to where
their packages should be placed. He thought they ought
not to be allowed to go on board the ship at MI, but that the
Admiralty or the Transport Board should be responsible for
the stowage and einavereace and the delivery of the goods
to the proper party. The Admiralty bad been using groat
szertioas, bat be thought the mares they adopted would
tether be..... the evil. The great cause of the evil had
be, be his opinion, the went of one responsible head—the

mould be no doubt that the time bad arrived when it was
necessary to have a thorough administrative reform. He
would state what he meant by administrative reform. He
meant that the government should keep pace with the
people, aced have their offices made equal to the
great mercantile adage of the country. If the
government did not institute a thorough administrative re.
form, the people would not be satisfied; for they felt that
the system was rottesto the sere, and that the men who
serried out the system, such as it was, were inefficient ; that
by that imam slalom were annually wasted, and disinter
and 'begrime Seek plea, such as had occurred to the army
in the Orissa; and he urged on the government to look M
the matter aeon. Be would now sit down, asking the
serious attention of the government to the few plain pre►
thud facts which he had stated. (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that before his right Yea. friend
the Firm Lord of the Admiralty addressed thes= ea
seine mimeos had been made to his (Sr J.
the hes. member for Tyuemontb, he hoped the hams wout
melee him if he offered a few observations. He would
ernmeare by referring to what fell from his hoe. friend at
the dose of his speech. His hon. friend said that adminis-
trative reform was necessary. He (Sir J. Graham) would
confine what he had to say to the navy. He did not know
if in any other department administrative reform was
necessary, but he was disposed to think it was, and that had
been felt by the government, and a proper application of
some remedy was in ---- Bat with regard to the

navy, he thought he might without vanity up
that however these observations might apply to
the Admiralty twenty years ago, yet he did as
that time, with the concurrence of the government of Lord
Grey, apply. effectual remedies to the evils of the system
as it then existed. (Hear, hear.) His hon. friend said that
the system (he hoped his hon. friend did sot apply the
term to the navy) wee rotten to the core. He would first
bests with the question of the accounts of the Admiralty. It
happened that the present Accountant-General—who last
year succeeded to that office on the retirement of one of the
ablest of publics servants, Sir John Briggs—was, when he (Sir
J. Graham) was at the Admiralty 20 years ago, a bitable
clerk at a salary under 2001. a year. He, helmet.
observed his merit', and it being stated to him dist
his conduct was exemplary, in 1834, just before he left the
Admiralt, he had the pleasure of promoting that gentle-
man to a higher oMee in Somerset-house. By his exempla',
conduct be bad risen progressively to the office of As.
countant-General, and to the receipt of pay and allowsnose
of 1,40 W. a year; sad he had thus risen from merit exclu-
sively. There were gentlemen on both sides of the house
who were acquainted with him ; and if the right hon. gen-
tleman the membilr for Bucks were in his place, he could ask
whether he would not confirm his (Sir J. Graham's) state-
ment, that than Mr. Bromley a more meritorious
public servant could not be found. (Hear, hear.)
His hon. friend Mr. Lindsay had commented rather sharply
upon a deaf and dumb clerk. That gentleman was origi-
nally appointed from charity ; but hie talents and assiduity
were found to be so great that before he (Sir J. Graham)
left the Admiralty, on the formation of the Transport
Board, he was recommended to him for the oMoe he held,
as being the most meritorious Mita in the department.

mire his hon. friend would be the last to speak of such a
man disparagingly merely on account of his infirmity.
Mr. LINDSAY said he had not the slightest intention of
outing any reflection on that gentleman, but only referred
to him when explaining the difficulty he encountered from
the system of keeping the accounts.
Sir J. GRAHAM had sons into the question relating to

austasts wen kept, on the *yetis= of double entry, with any

if be examined them, would find that they were kept as well
so those of any merchant or banker. The house must bear
is mind the extent of the transactions involved, which were
monocled with every part of the civilised world, and the
seesuity necessary to be taken in dealing with the public
minty, that required posting day by day, the accounts
being audited both before and after they were
pseud; and yet, notwithstanding all the impediments
caused by the necessities of the public service,
they were posted up as well or better than those of any
merchant. As to the system being a disgrace to the country,
the fact was that we had originally_ borrowed the system
from that admirable one adopted in France. That system,
which Sir John Briggs had the merit of originally intro-
ducing, and which, having originally come from France,
had been subsequently accurately examined by the French
authorities, and they declared that the system had become

it was necessary to pay the market price ; and his he..

bad been culpable. He complained of the want of a well.
regulated system, and said that if the ships, both steam sad
sailing, had made a greater number of voyages, a fella
larger service might have been performed. But the hones
must remember what had been really done in the last 11
I months. We bad conveyed to a country distant
3,000 mile@ 66,000 or 60,000 British troops and 6,000
horses ; a large train of artillery, with all the guns, both of

he (Sir J. Graham) fully joined in the approbation of that

think that the transport service could hays been performedart
is it had been, but for the superior ability and activity of
that cam; and if he (Sir J. Graham) bad thought that
Captain Milne could have personally performed- ail the
duties connected with that service, he would have egmsg
with his hein. friend that a Transport Board would not have
been necessary. Bat it was because Captain Milne was over-
worked that it was thought necessary to establish that
board. But there was also another matter connected with
the establishmeat of a board, and that was the question et
responsibility. On the general principle he amyl
with his hon. friend, and was not favourable to boards.
But when the house recollected that contracts to
the extent of 6,000,0001. had been entered into, it was
for the public safety that checks should be multiplied,
and be was decidedly of opinion that this was one
of the cases in which an exception should he
made to the rule agaiut boards. With regard to
the Transport Board, he thought it expedient that it
should hays among its members a naval officer, a
military officer, and a gentleman connected with the mu-
chant service, and he hoped that it would be found to be a
salutary provision for the public service. He should add
that this board would only last during the continuants of
the :war, and cease with its conclusion. He would not
trouble the house at any greater length, and he only hoped
that his explanation would be satisfactory ; and be was
certain that, when the magnitude of the service was con.
sidered, the indignation expi eased by his hon. friend would
not be generally felt.
Mr. ALCOCK wished to call attention to the present
state of affairs in the Black Sea. Though we had been at
war for a year, and though we had been before Sebastopol
for six months, we were no forwarder then when we first
sat down before that fortress. His own belief had always
been that we should never take Sebastopol until we had had
a campaign in the Crimea, and many other persons were be-
ginning to be of the same opinion. But how was it that we
had made so little progress / The reason appeared to him te
be plain. We had neglected to avail ourselves of that extra.
sues assistance which we might have secured had we fitly
takea the proper steps. The coarse which ought to have
been pursued would have been to have taken the fortress of
Anapa, which commanded at once the Caucasus and the
Straits of Kertch. Had that been done, we should
have been able to true with the Caucasians,
and purchase of them food for our army and
horses for our troops. The Caucasians would only
hays been too glad to have afforded us every assistance in
their power, for they would naturally have felt sympathy
for their co-religionists, the Mabommedans, in Turkey, and
their compatriots, the Tartars of the Crimea. (Hear, hear.)
It was said that we had had no forces to employ for the seri
vice ; but it was lucky for Lord Aberdeen and his govern-
ment that they were not ministers of Russia. If they had
offered such an excuse to the late Csar, they would have
been :rewarded for their incompetency by instant exile.
Had Alsip' been ours, the Circassian. would have furnished
us with a large number of excellent irregular horse. In
illustration of what irregular hone could do, he need only
point .to. the 60,000 guerilla [troops employed during the
Peninsular war, a force which was estimated to be equal to
a reinforcement of 30,000 men. The Circassian' ware
not excelled as irregular cavalry by any in the world,
and they had never met the Cossacks but to be victorieua.
For a quarter of the money, toe, which we were going to
give Sardinia, Persia would have sent us 40,000 men. He
(the hon. member) hoped, therefore, that the government
would turn their attention to the capture of Anapa. What
had been the good of taking Bomarsuad be could not
imagine ; and be hoped that at all events during the soloing
summer a portion of the fleet would be spared from the
Baltic for the more useful service he had indicated. (Hear.)
Sir S. NORTHCOTH exhorted the government to im-
prove the organisation of the civil service.
Some further remarks upon the mismanagement of the
transport and other public services were made by Captain
SCOBILL, Mr. CAYLIT, Mr. BENTINCI, Mr. MACOTLICIOL,
Mr. BROWN, and Colonel Srsox.

Sir C. WOOD replied.
The douse then went into oominittee pro form, bat no
business was done.

The house 'dimmed at ten atlantic put one o'clock.

NEW MEN.

Tess demand for the admission of " new men " to
administrative appointments is met by the changer
Name your men." Suppose we were to comply with
the request, what would be the consequence ? We
should be met by indignant protestations, on the part
of rier rulers and their partisans, that it would be
unworthy of them to "yield to newspaper dietetics.'
Besides, the call upon ns to " Name ear "
prooreds'upon a totally erroneous interpretation of
what is asked for. Ministers are not asked to extend
their ranks for the reception of Mr. LAZARD,
or Mr. Lows, or Mr. LINDSAY, or Mr. Any-
body-in-particular. What the public say is,
that Minister, have run the entire round
of the exclusive circle from which it has been es*
tomary to select aspirants to oftloe, and have found
themselves unable to complete their number. They
are still without a Chancellor of the Deohy, and
without an Under-Secretary for the Colonies; and
tome of their appointments are acknowledged, mu
by themselves, to be pis-aUers. Why, it is asked,
will they not step beyond the magic circle, and seek
the services of " new men"? Why will they not
draw upon the available talents of a "new class of
men"? When the public insist upon seeing "new
men" admitted to ace, they do sot mean to advocate
the claims of this or the other yet untried individual
elthe old clue; they insist upon the employment of

The truth is, that public men of the middle dams I
have less chance of rising to administrative appoint-
ments now than they had is the half century that sue-
seeded the Revolution of 1888. Then 'distinction was
made between the State dim of show and those of
real work. In those days the Lord Chamber-
lain, the Mute/ of the Mess, and similar
fanctioaaries, were members of the Cabinet
Council. The nobility, contested with Awe

men of meaner birth, A Vsation, whose parentage

(lee Commissions were similarly filled. Since that
time society has been awakened to the absurdity of

an influential voice in the affairs of Stet; to

rfileiais meant only to add to the brilliancy of a court.
The supreme direction of public affairs has devolved
exclusively upon the real working ministers: hen*s
it has come that our nobility now covet the offices
which of old they gladly relinquished to plebeians;
and they have in too many instances carried into
the hard-working offices the same frivolity, indo-
lence, and ignorance of affairs, which either sat
gracefully enough or did no harm on the mere coca-
pants of Court offices. They cow fill up the depart-
ments in which there is real work to be done, to the
exclusion of the men who are really competent to
perform it.

There is another cause that has helped to peck our
administrative departments with scions of nobility,
to the exclusion of the middle claases—the enormous

I multiplication of the breed. In the times which
immediately followed the Revolution of 1688, oar
aristocracy were not sufficiently numerous to fill all
the departments of the State. But, since then, an
immense manufacture of peerages has been going on,
and the successive unions with Scotland and Ireland
have augmented the number of noble claimants for
offioe, without increasing in proportion the number
of offices to be Med by them. Marriage, too, has
increased the array of their cousins and second.
cousins. Hence it comes that we see the Church, the
Army, nay, the Customs and Excise, filled by the
kindred of our nobility. The heir to one of our
oldest titles does not disdain to accept the office of
Clerk to the Justices in an Irish county ; the brother-
in-law of a Peer's half-brother jumps at a Special
Commissioaership in the Land Revenue, with a
salary of 6001. a year. Our aristocratic population
has multiplied to such an extent that it can only be
provided for by thrusting its members into offices
reserved of old for the dependents and retainers of
noble families; and the consequence is, that the
lordly occupants of very plebeian appointments dis-
charge their duties in a right lordly m . The
mishaps of the Crimea have opened the eyes of the
pablic to the mischievous effect of this system
on the civil and military departments of the
army. We say civil and military, for Lord
Pat MIUTON was in error when he affirmed
that there were no scions of the aristocracy
in the peocant civil services attached to the army.
And having made this discovery with regard to our
military establishment, the public are uow turning
their eyes upon the purely civil departments of
Government where they find the same abases prevail.
It is now pretty certain that it is folly to look to
our rulers for reform of these abuses. They and all
their connexions profit too mach by the monopoly of
ollos to denude themselves of it voluntarily.
The unprivileged classes mast take the work
into their own hands. The constituencies must
prepare to send men to Parliament, at the next
general election, who will assert their own and their
class's claims to administrative office. We can fancy

we observe the whole place-holding clams laughing in
their sleeves at this suggestioo. They Satter them-
selves that they have so demoralised the eoustitu-
sodas, that the friends of administrative reform can,
have no donee at a general election. They may
deceive themselves in this. The House of Commons,
which passed the Reform Act, was elected under the
old bocoughtsoegering system.—Day News.
