WOOLWICH, :AN. 22.—Sir James Graham, First
Lord, and several of the members of the Board of Admi-
nity from Whitehall, attended at Somerset House to day,
and were occupied to a late hoar in going through the
aavy mistletoe for 1853-4. While every tionsideration is
gives to economy in the application of the sums required
for the public service, it is advisable that greet diciest-,
should be provided for in every department, to enable the
govsrameat to be prepared ter any e that may
arise without the slightest notice, when the whole resources
of every establishment will be required for the defence of
the country. The shipwrights La Woolwich and other
dockyards have ementmeed clubs to assist sash other in
emigrating with their families to Australia, and some of
those who have a little household property are disposing of
it to take their departure for the gold field'. Numerous
lutes's; have moaned within the last few weeks of able
seem* paying their pumps to Australia, fir the sole
rof engorge/ at the high rate of wages now offered
many of the vestals in the mercantile navy to navigate
home or to listelign ports, a proof that the seaman of
she present day are more calculating than the thoughtless
sad generally Improvident seamen of fernier periods of
Sava service.
