rdITINO FOR THE .4111110421 MAIM AT

BOUTHAMPTOIf.

On Friday evening the American packet North
Star, from New York, was telegraphed to Southampton as
having passed Hunt Castle at about half-past 4. It was
understood that she wee to coons up Southampton Watt to
lead her English and French mail and passengers, which
she could have done at about half-past 6. She dropped
anchor, however, off Cowes, and a telegraph was sent from
thence to Southampton ordering down a tug steamer for the
English and French passengers and male, as the North
Star was to proceed on from Cowes to Bremen. The tug
steamer did sot return to the Southampton Docks until after
midnight. It Is not usual for any one to go out into the
stream to board tho tugs. All persons therefore who
have business with the American perengers, cargoes,
mails or news, generally wait their arrival at night in the Cus-
toms Dock Watch-house, a frail structure built on piles out
on the water, to command a view from the Isle of Wight to
the government powder magazines at Maechwood. On Fri-
day night the watch-house was filled for hours with persons
waiting for the arrival of the tug from the North Star. The
night was not cold, but very dark. The dock is rather a dis-
mal place at such a time; it is dimly lighted, and nothing is
seen stirring there but the gliding form of the revenue officer
or the dock watchman. By means of a night telescope in
the watch-house, Southampton Water was seen to be dotted
about with brilliant specks, there were lights in the boats of
fishermen plying their art by line or trawl. The gun of the
fowler was oomulonally heard on the south shore asking
havoc among the wading wild fowl. The peculiar ary of
the plover sounded repeatedly high above the soughing of
the wind. Occasional scintillations on the water would
reveal a dark object skimming noiselessly along.
This wee the Customs' boat, filled with watchers, on the
look-out for smugglers. They pear into every bay and
creek. Their power of distinguishing sounds on the water
at night is, from long practice, remarkable. They min
hear at an immense distance, and can tell from the peculiar
sound of the breaker what object it is washing against,
whether it be a buoy, a boat, or a liege vessel, and, what is
most singular, whether the latter is " clinker " or carved"
built. The sound of the wave, as it sashes up the aids of the
vessel and is snapped off short by the edges of the over-
lapping boards of the clinker-built ship is, it appears, very
different from the noise of the wash against the smooth sur-
face of the canal-built craft. The prettiest sight sees
on Friday night, on Southampton Water, was the
departure of the Jersey and Bane steamers. As
they steamed down the river nothing was sees
of them but the three brilliant lights which they carry, one
at the warhead and one on each paddle-box, thus forming
the figure of a huge triangle. The twisting, of the Chaise(
maks the fitly triangle appear to dance to and fro from ems
shoes to the other. Just after the town clocks street the
hoar of midnight, a most welcome sound, about two mike
off, was herd is the watch-hear viz., the veered beat of
the ;addle-wheels of the tag steamer, lades with peassepra,
ergo, bagger, and mils floss the North Star. Byer ,1

cadet in the lower school, 2s. per week ; exclusive of the
addition for good conduct operations.
This weekly allowance is provided for the Queen's abide
by the liberality of the public • no money is therefore to be

The nature ;nd dfacipline of establishment requhei
that these rules be strictly complied with; and It is re-
quested that no debt conducted by a cadet with any
tradesman in the vicinity of the college may be paid, se
inch a practice would be highly prejudicial to the individual

LONDON, 171311 DAT, JANUARY 12.
Ax unusual number of candidates are in the field
for the representation of Reigate. The proximity of
thb thriving and intelligent little town to the me-1
tropolis seems, oddly enough, to constitute its pecu-
liar attraction, in the eyes of gentlemen of inexpe-
rienced parliamentary ambition. With one excep-
tion all the competitors whose names have been
hitherto mentioned are those of individuals who,
whatever be their other qualifications for a seat in
the House of Commons, are unable to boast of any
previous services in that assembly. The ex-mei:i-
-ll !
ber for Lambeth alone has any previous perform.
ances in the way of voting to appeal to; but to
judge from his address he appears to do so somewhat
gingerly, and to think it more philosophic to recall
the divisions in which his biographer will find him
supporting the abolition of the paper duty, or some
other incontestably sound and unimportant measure
—rather than the rare occasions on which he mus-
tered courage to plunge momentarily into the 4 un-
official lobby, with Ballotases or the advocates of
thorough-going Reform. For the rest, we need only
say that there is a voice for every inflection of the
verb " confide." " Confide in me," says the Honour-
able Mr. Monson, "for I am Lard MoNsox's son,
. " and may Lad is the owner of Gatton•park ; in ad-
" &nice to which I am ready to vote for any
" Reform Bill Lord PALAU/TON may introduce ;
" and that practically is likely to leave things
" pretty much as they are." "Confide in me,"
says Mr. EDWIN CIIADWICK, the apostle of
centralisation, " and I will undertake with untiring
I " zeal the labour of rendering the bureaucracy
" of this country more efficient and enlightened than
" that of Prussia or of France. I will further
i " engage to put down all noise and bustle at elm-
" bona, by persuading Parliament to adopt in coun-
t
1 " ties and boroughs my system of voting by means
t " of signed papers collected by the polio. from home
. .. " to house, instead of by personal attendance at
,1 i I " the poll." " Confide in Colonel P %futon," say
his old and attached friends, " because he was, after
" all, the man who in bad times first led the way to
" the opening of the borough, and who would have
" been returned at the last election but for the
" unlooked-for competition of the late mem-
" " her." " Confide in Sir Ilx:IIT RAWLINSON,"
say many who supported him In the con-
test of last March against Mr. HACIEBLOCK,
as the abler and the better man, and who now re-
double their urgency in his behalf upon the ground
of his familiarity officially acquired with East India
affairs, since his appointment as one of the Crown
nominees at the Board of Directors, and because of
the prevalent expectation that his name will appear
amongst those who are designed to figure in the
i proposed Directorate in the forthcoming Ministerial
• IRill. "Confide in me," says Mr. DOULTON, "for I
" mean what I say, and say what I mean ; and
" I tell you plainly I think the present state
" of the Parliamentary representation won't do any
I " longer; that we ought to go in for a thorough
" change both as to franchise and the liberty to use
"it as we like ; and that with regard to India we
" shall need to look very sharp that we are not
" lured into a patronage trap of surpriaing climen-
" alone, and out of which, when once we are caught
"in it, there will be no escape." We must give Mr.
DOULTON credit for having been the first since the
announcement of the Government scheme for the
endowment of Downing-street with the revenues
of the East, to raise the question in an ad-
dress to a popular constituency—broadly, fairly,
and on its substantive merits. There is indeed
something of generality or vagueness about the
phraseology employed ; but this in such a don-
t ment is excusable, if not neesseary. We trust, how-
,
r ever, that a man of practical tern of mind like Mr.
DOULTON will not leave the matter obscure, but that
he will follow the instinct that has so far led him
right to its legitimate conclusions.
Whatever may be the course pursued by indivi-
duals in power or out of power, in Parliament or at
the hustings, our duty on the impending question is
clear, and we trust we shall not be found wanting
in its performance. A gigantic project is on foot
for grasping and appropriating to the use of
the Court and the privileged classes, already
too full fed, the whole patronage of South-
ern Asin. By a calculation recently made,
in a very careful and elaborate article
in the Westsmnster Review, it appears that
the amount of money raised by taxation in
India, and regularly paid to Europeans in different
/ capacities, civil and military, for the share in the go- 1
vernment of that vast Dependency, is not much under
. • Ten Millions a year ! This is the stake Lord PAL-
MS/470N and lard CLINRICARDE are about playing
I for. And who are they playing against? Against
the middle classes of the community, by whose ad-
venture,
toil, risk, labour, and blood, the splendid
i fabric of our Eastern dominion has been
I slowly and steadily reared, sustained, and kept
unto this day. How many a son of humble
or reduced parents has, without boyish blue-
.
I ! nem or early toadying of high-born caprice,
II found in the Company's service, civil or mili-
tary, the armee to independent competence,
affluence, and the retrieval at lest of the sirens-
stances of an unobtrusive and long•saffering family.
