THE MUTINY SPREADING.

Xt. Lee, of Candi. bad en interview wi
alentabere yesterday at the Coloniel•olics.th Mr. Secretary

RETURN 07 THE PRINCE CONSORT.

His Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived
off Dover in bar bithicaty's steam-yeas Osborne from Ant-
werp, at 3.20 pm. yeetarday, and Immediately afterward+,
landed in Dover Harbour, is used the boats Intoning to
the Osborne.
The landing et Dover of his Royal Righter was totally
unexpected by the eathatitiee there. It we., however,
aimed by the threateming upset of the weather, then being
almost a pie of wind hem the south-west with a heavy
bead sea Whill the Osborne arrived erg the port.
The Prince wee waived et the landisrpthes by her Ma-
Jeety'a naval emperiatenduth of the port, Csptain kPilwathe,
and by the anameadent at the prrimm, Colossi Lyrae,
both ot whom accompanied his to the railway elation, where,
sheet as had been the notice, a medal Oda, under the war-
pub directions of Mr. Johann:me, the station roaster, lied
been prepared. It left Dover for Portsmouth rio the Red-
hill Maim ot the Routh Rasters Railway and the London
and Brlgleka Railway, at 3.40 p.m., Mr. Johastorie riding on
the urging. A royal salute was fired from the Drop Redoubt
on the heights the moment his Royal Highness stepped on
The Prince Cement arrived at Portemouth at twenty
Wastes pet seven o'clock. Her Majesty's yacht Fairy
them over hem Osborne with her Majesty end family on
'• baud to asset his. Hi■ Royal Highgate embarked in the
• elate barge from the new landing place of the dockyard, and
• left in the Fairy about half-past seven. The usual salutes
were sired.

The present system of granting Coaunimions for
the scientific corps—the Artillery and Engineers—
founded as it is on the competitive principle, is, ws
understand, to be maintained. All the sophisms
paraded by Sir W. Wnxisne last night failed to
convince us that this system, inaugurated by Lord
PANNURE, has failed to achieve the results expected
of it.

But the chief point concerns the Staff Under that
term we trust, as Mr. SIDNEY Runnier observed
in his admirable speech, that Aides-de-Camp will De
included. It is sometimes said that they merely re-
quire is be able to dress and ride. But if this is so,
as the same speaker significantly remarked, let their
par and advantages cease. The truth is, Aides-de-
' Onp have high duties to discharge which need
irmhd tailing knowledge. They ought therefore
be Wheel la the Staff, and subjected to all the
:ream Impend on the other members of the

with tbiele eeshands. In this way the constitn-

time, he will return to his regiment : nor ass them
be a doubt that the presence et highly-edema& elite
cers—who have obtained Staff certificates, bet bon
not yet got Staff appointments—will infuse • WWI
spirit into our regiments of the line, a bee
for military study now almost unknown.
And this will be the chief advantage of
the system proposed for our Army over the
French system, which seemed to be recom-
mended for adoption, though, as we think, some-
what incautiously, by General WYNDHAM,. In
France the Staff is quite a separate corps, in which
the regimental officer can never hope to be num-
bered. This leads naturally to jealousy and disgust.
In the system proposed to be adopted in our army
the privileges of the Staff will be confined to no
caste. Any regimental officer who can show him-
self the best in examination will entitle himself to be
educated for the Staff; and if at the close of his
Staff College career he proves that he has made the
best use of his time, he will be entitled to Staff em-
ployment. Such a system es this, whilst it provokes
no feeling of jealousy, is almost certain to secure the
ablest men for the Staff.
We have hardly left ourselves room to speak of
the machinery by which these examinations are to
be conducted—the Council of Education. Though
the Government still refuse to allow any infu-
sion of the civil element into this council
they promise that the examiners who conduct
the examinations shall be partly civilians, to be
annually appointed. We cannot but think
that the Council in question would be both more
independent and more efficient if some civilians were
upon it, and we are not without hopes that even yet
something of the civil element may find a place.
On the whole, however, we are well satisfied with
what the Government has promised to do. We
cannot but think that this new system—especially
as it concerns the Staff—is the inauguration of as
great, though perhaps as unostentatious, a reform as
this country has ever witnessed. Sir De LACY
EVANS and the Commissioners on Military Educa-
tion deserve the thanks of the country for what they
hare done in this question. henceforth industry,
military knowledge, and intelligence arc the only
qualities which can entitle an officer to those Staff
appointments which are the best paid and the most
responsible in the British army.
