be found, his admirers having suffered quite enough for Iris

he was decidedly first favourite again when the racing

Natbourne having beaten him when far from fit, be must
hold him safe whenever they meet again, as he might have
been a good 61b. better had he done as much work as Thor-
manby of Ista. The owner of Buccaneer having expressed a
doubt, when he won the July Stakes, about bringing him out
again this mar, explains that having found the ground at the
horee's training quarters so much better " got= than that
of Newmarket, he kept him in work, and he being very
fit, he pulled him out for the Mulecomb, where,
despite his 61b. penalty, he beat two thorough
good hones in such a style that the performances of Nut-
bourne and Witted, good es they were, will not rank with
his, as the latter gave so weight away, and had not much to
bear, whilst Nutboorne only just beat Thormanby at even

LeNDOSI, MONDAY. AUGUST 1.

WE hare heard with sane anxiety of late, that
acts of insubordination bare occurred ea hoard son

than ono British man-of war on the Home statism.
Several most unwonted and unwarrantable breaches
of diacipline are reported. Mutiny in the British
Navy is happily so rare ea to be almost incredible,
except on the supposition, which we are lath to
entertain, that whe it happens, real, though
exceptional, grievances do 'lint.
It may easily be imagined that the happiness of a
ship's company as board • man-of-war ia very much
at the doctorial of the exceptive officers, especially
of the captain. He can, if he pleases, with little
difficulty convert his ship into a "hell afloat;" he
may, by • leery and fretful impatience, incur the
hatred of every soul under his command. An in-
tolerable burlesque of rightful severity may be exer-
cised without incurring the displeasure or even
coming to the knowledge of the Admiralty. It is
well known in every service, that subordinates md-
doco obtain much benefit or advance their tatanda
by briaging a superior officer to • court-martlal,
What chance, then, would a blue-jacket have of
righting himself before a tribunal composed of men
who look upon themselves as infallible—who regard
any murmur against their authority as a crime little
leas than treason, if not closely allied to blasphemy P
On the other hand, • British sailor, with &D IM
waywardness, his eccentricities, and his prejudices,
is usually endowed with • fair share of commas
eenae, and has a keen appreciation of injostios. Oar

From law, bows. cr warm, which bob their Wrosigth to norm
Any amount of toil, privation, and hardship
they will submit to without murmur, if there be but
an apparent necessity for its endurance ; but can
enrprise be felt that even their ordinarily docile
natures should rebel against petty worrying and more
vexatious caprice? We have too much reason to
fear that the service is not half as popular as it de-
serves to be, and that even at this moment there is
difficulty in obtaining men of the else required for
ships of war. It is the old, old story; many ships
that have been commissioned for weeks, are filling up
their complements by tardy driblets. Even in the
Channel and the Mediterranean squadrons certain
ships are short-handed, not to mention them upon
more distant stations. Rumours hare gone abroad
that unnecessary harshness of treatment, and a
too frequent recurrence of corporal punishment.
are to ;blame for these deficiencies, and when
once this belief has gained ground it is hopeless to
expect good men to ship. There is not only the
American Navy open to them, but there is oar own
merchant service, in which, in spite of many draw-
backs and disadvantages, the duty is less irksome,
and the restraint leas tedious and precis,
With regard to the degrees of facility in obtain-
ing seamen for particular men-of-war, much will
always depend upon the character of the cap-
tain. Oat who has acquired the reputation of •
martinet, and is noted for " hazing," or for flogging,
will seldom succeed in procuring any but the refuse
of the port at which he may be stationed. In vain
may he hold out the most tempting bait Jack will
shake his head and go his way, preferring either a
merchant skipper or a captain with a name more in
accordance with his own notions of what • captain
should be.

Liberty to go ashore is one of the articles of a
seaman's faith. It is a source of grumbling not
altogether unnatural, and almost inevitable, when a
ship is kept for any length of time at anchor within
sight of shore, at any particular port. Want of
occupation will engender as much mischief on board
a line-of-battle ship ea elsewhere. We have heard •
Ore, and again the disastrous results that might and
in all probability would ensue were a half-trained I
ship's company to be brought suddenly into actios. 1
Our Channel Squadron at this moment does not
posse one ship too many even for a peace estab- •
figment, considering the aspect of the political
horiton nor are the crews of several ships in that
But at all too proficient in their dation, while as
regards anything like naval evolutions, they seem to
be es occasional as grand reviews at Aidershott.
Why, let as ask, with all the humility of lands-
ow—why, in the name of all that is
rational, should any ship whatever be suffering
the obvioui effects of inactivity, when so much im-
portant work is to be doe, so many various duties to
be mastered, and not even the wisest amongst us can
tell how soon they may have to be discharged under
all the stern exigencies of actual warfare
It really seems incomprehensible how summer
after MINIM is allowed to glide away, without any-
thing being done to practise our naval officers and
their crews in naval evolutions, and in those tactics
without which it is impossible that the individual
vessels of any squadron should act in concert, or
any useful combination be effected. How is it that
the meet important branch of an effuse's edneenien
is thus wantemly neglected.? By what mesas is he
expected to acquire the requisite profession skill?
or rather, in what way is the want of it to he applied?
Our neighbours screw the Channel, wondering at
our supine indifference in these respects, are far from
neglecting to keep their ships of war in constant
exercise. They here throughout the year one or
two squadrons Aut, premising oder every variety

of weather, ender canvas as will as under steam,

opportanities of witnemiag their perfarmances can
attest to the surprising smartness of the handling,
and the admirable serving of the guns.
Eves the Hessians are not bahindhand, and by
the simple expedient of a "distance line" and buoy
attached to sack vessel, every ship of a *quadri:lo

keeps the position reigned to her with the preciaiaa
