MANNINO TIIE NATT.—We are glad to perceive that the
present Board of Admiralty have resolved to adopt mea-
sures to obviate the dillicult) of procuring seamen fur vessels
fitting for sea. That the last maritime resources of this
country will eventually be made available fur the navy with-
out having recourse to the objectionable system of impress-
ment we have little doubt. The Secretary to the Admiralty
has already announced that apt in is under the consideration
of the Board, by which it is expected to realise this object.
In the meantime, in order that the seamen already in her
Majesty's service may not be lost to it when their respective
ships are paid off, the fuilowili.; circular has been issued
from the Admiralty, dated September 1, 1846:
e In all future caws, when any of her Majesty's ships is about to
be paid off, their lordships dc-ire it may he &Madly explained to
the men that, if they choose too:mu/me in the "mice, they may have
a mouth or six weeks* leave of absence, during which time their lane
and pay will go on, and that they will be at liberty to join any of her
Mape,ty'a ships fitting out at any of the purls upon their return from
such hove. Their lord.hipa further i.e,ere that every fatuity may
given to the men to deposit their hammocks, clothes, ate., in the
dockyarda, during their duty on shoes, in the manner presenheo cv
their memorandum dated Apri! 13, I ai2, the object of which the it
iordshipa desire may be fully Improved upon the men, and the T,
lotion strictly attended to.—By aunumuid of their lordehipa,

manders of her Majesty', Ships and Vessels."

the barracks are ready. She was laid alongside the wharf
yesterday, and will be prepared as soon as possible. The

wich last night.
ROTAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT Some-re.— The reported
withdrawal from the Royal Naval Benevolent Society of
Admiral Sir Robert Stopfrd, its president, has given great
pain to, and caused great sensation amongst, its members and
the profession generally, especial!y as the gallant admir.l's
withdrawal from it is attributed to an offence offered to him
by an official, when he icter:ered in behalf of a young lady,
an officer's orphan, who has been deprived of the benefits of
the charity through that official's hostility. Admiral Sir R.
Codringtoa has, for a similar reason, given notice of his re-
signation, and many other officers will, it is said, also resign
for the same cause.
