THE FRENCH NAVY.

We glean the following particulars relating to the
organisation of the navy of France from an-able article,
by M. de Mondy, in the Revue Contemporaine. The
author's object is to show that the navy of his country is
far from being out of proportion with either its resources
or requirements, and is, therefore, not large enough
to excite reasonable jealousy; he also points out
certain defects in the system, for which he, proposes'
remedies. 'We, however, shall limit ourselves to
a few bare facts. The permanent levy of seamen
dates from 1835 ; it is so called because it, is going on
at all times as well as the discharge. As soon as the
vessel arrives in port the authorities immediately take a
minute account of the ship's company, and send, those
who have not yet served the state,. or who have not
served it for a sufficient length of time, on board a
government -vessel, according to the.requirements of the
service. ' Their first term lasts three,years, after which,
'in case of necessity, they may again be summoned to
serve, but are in that case discharged as soon as possible..
The following table shows the gradual increase in the
maritime resources of France since the establishment of
the new system, compared with what they were in
1791 :
Men inscribed. 179 E 183 G. 18 '5. 1850.
Officers and sailers 62,478 54,703 64 94G 71,595
Landsmen 11,897 15,372 20,930 24,799
, Boys ..... 8,352 12,477 15,400 17,502
Workmen and aporentices
Captains, masters, and pilots 9,145 10,654 12,800 11,453
Total 111,104 104,813 1247200139,310
_ _

This increase, amounting to one-fourth of the number
furnished by the inscription in 1791, is zreater than any
previous one Within an equal period of years, ata-shows
the immense progress of trade and manufacture in
France. From 1847 to 1856 the whole tonnage of
'French ships has increased from 663,000 tons to 998,000,
the difference being chiefly owing to the building of larger
vessels, so that the number of those exceeding 400 tons
has risen from 58 to 422 ! Estimating the number
of seamen at the rate of eight: men
,per 100 tons,
the, whole French mercantile navy would . seem at
present to amount to 80,000 men. In 1850, the com-
mission of inquiry
,calculated that about 56,000 men,
might be relied on .for the -manning-of -the -navy,
and the author believes that nt present the state might
count upon an average of between 53,000 and 60,000'
nien; a fo ce barely sufficient to man the fleet. The
author concludes with the reflection that, even as -Eng-
land has hitherto escaped the danger of an invasion by
keeping up a sufficient maritime force, so should France
do the same, and thus render a war between two equally
powerful nations impossible.

that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,

FALLING-IN OF -A MILL AT BAXENDEN.—A serious
accident occurred to the mill belonging to Messrs. Stel-
fox and Co., of Baxenden, by the falling-in of the prin-
cipal portion of the first, second, and third floors, on
Sunday evening last. The wall in the third storey
appears to, have given way, when the iron beam sus-
penders in the ;top room snapped asunder in the centre.
The whole of the machinery in, this portion of the build-
ing was-hurled into the room -beneath, carryin the
.second' floor and the -machinery along with it; down
into the cellar. The machinery,
,whieli consisted of
Warping, winding,
.And blowing machines, was com-
pletely destroyed. The Linage -is estimated at £BOO,
which principally, falls on Messrs.: Stelfox and Co.
VACCINATION IN SCOTLAND.—At a, meeting of the
Medico-ChirurgiCal Society of Edinburgh, on the 18th
inst.'? a Paper was read on' the subject of smallpox and
Vaccination by Dr., Alexander Wood, and a lengthened
discussion ensued, in which Professor Simpson and
-other lecling members of 'the medical profession of the
city took part.:, All the speakers 'agreed in e.):Preis-
..
ing,unabated Confidence' in the efficacy of' vaccination.
if properly and univerWly performed, in diminish-
ing the frequency of epidemics of smallpox, and in
immensely' abating their severity and reducing their
mortality. They all agreed, also, in the opinion that
vaccination is greatly neglected in Scotland, and that
the only effectual method of protecting the 'country
against the. evils consequent upon this neglect was to
make it compulsory by Act of Parliament, though there
was some difference of opinion as to the machinery by
-which this might be best carried out, and also as to the
kind' and degree. of compulsion expedient to be used.
At the close of the discussion a committee of the society
was appointed for the purpose of co-operating with the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in the matter,
and of soliciting an interview with the Soottish mem-
bers of parliament resident in Edinburgh, with the view,
of having
.a Vaccination Bill for Scotland introduced
during the ensuing session of parliament: •
FORGERY OF BANK NOTES.—A foreigner, of- gentle-
manly exterior and address, who gave his name as M.
Dupont, and described himself as a captain in the Bel-
gian -army, has been detected in 'an ' attempt to pass
forged notes at Birmingham. On Friday last he arrived
at the Queen's Hotel, and announced his intention of
remaining there for several days. On Sunday, .about
midday, however, he ordered his 'bill in great haste,
stating that he was under the necessity of taking his
departure in the course of ten minutes. ,:;On the
bill being brought, lie tendered in payment what par- .
ported' to be a ten-pound Bank of England note, and'
requested that the change; might be brought to him im-
mediately. This arrangementwas not' completed with the
celerity he seems to have anticipated, for some suspicions
were aroused in the establishment as to the genuineness of
' the note, and they proved to be well founded. A cursory
examination left no doubt that it was counterfeit, and the
owner was given into the custody of the police. On being
questioned by deputy chief. superintendant Glossop, he
• stated that he had received 'it on Thursday- from Messrs.
Baring Brothers, of London, in exchange for a bill.' He
asserted that he had no other notes in his possession, but
on being taken to the New-street station, and there
searched, five other £lO and three .0 notes all forged were
fOund inside the lining of his hat.
.0n being asked what
account he had to give respecting them, he said that he
had purchased both these and. the one which had led to
his apprehension, from a person in Birmingham, with a
: real note, which he received from Messrs. Baring. On
Monday the prisoner was brought up at the police-
ioffice for examination before 'Mr. Kynnersley, the sti-
pendiary magistrate, when the foregoing facts were
proved in eviderce, and Mr. Rightun, from the local
branch of the Bank of England, declared the notes pro-
duced to be spurious. In his defence the prisoner re-
iterated his story about having' purchased them while
partially intoxicated, from ; a man whom he met in a
public-house on Friday. He was committed for trial at
the next Warwickshire Assizes.

CAPT. VERic N,.M.P., ON ;THE MILITARY
POWER OR ENGLAND.

1 .
Mr. Walter, M.P., Mr. P. P. Bouverie, M.P., 'and.
Captain Vernon, M.P., were present at the annual dinner
of the Reading Farmers' Club, on Saturday. In respond-
ing to the toast of the " Army and Navy," Captain
Vernon said; the military power of England was the
foremost question of the day, not only in this country,
but in Europe-at large. (Applause.) England and its
military power alone preserved Europe from chance and
confusion ; but for England and its military power
Europe , would be in a blaze of war from -one ex-
tremity to the other. (Hear, hear.) What other nation
was there to prevent this ? Austria, broken down in
arms and finance, her faggot empire little better than a
bundle of disunited sticks, was reduced to an incapability
for war—bankrupt in money and in men, the lay,
so to speak, helplessly at the foot of France. (Hear.),
From Prussia no resistance could be hoped for. What
was to be expected from a country where every tenth
able-bodied man was abstracted from the profitable pur-
suits of peace and forced into the idle trade of a Con-
tinental soldier? (Hear, hear.) The great Imperialist.
General Monteculi said that three things were necessary.
for war—" the first was money, the second was money,
and the third was money." (Laughter and applause.)
They, therefore, could form some estimate of Prussia's
Capacity for war when they -were told that in Prussia
half a crown was represented by a bit -of paper,
and an adulterated modicum of copper washed over
with silver was made to •do duty for a six-
pence. (Laughter.) The happy little kingdom of.
Belgium—happy because free almost to the fullest
extent and meaning of the word, over-weighted with an
army dispfoportioned to her means and her wants, but
forced on her by the aggressive habits of Franee, would
not stand for an hour—nay, she did not even pretend to.
-stand, for at an enormous expense she had increased the
fortifications of Antwerp, to which her Cone, her
Government,-and her army were to retire-7hr what ?
TO'aviait succour, from England. A Belgian authority-
to whom he had lately spoken on the subject said, "Our
only hope is in England • hut for England we should be
-made French. May heaveni avert such misery from
us !" (Applause.) ' To whom does Italy look ? Italy
raises her suppl.iant hand to England. What confidence
can she have in Louis Napoleon, who tells France-
that he made war for the glory of her standard, and.
who told Italy that he made war " not for glory or
aggrandisement, but that Italy might be free from the
Alps to the Adriatic ?" What confidence can she have
in him who, under the delusive title of liberty, caused
her fair country to be ravaged by fire and sword, and her
fields to be deluged with blood ? No, Italy and Europe
look only- to England and her military power-L-that
power which causes the stillest whisper of her statesmen
to be listened to at the council table as though they
spoke with a voice of thunder. (Applause.) In this
particular uncture lie placed the formidable military
power of England before her majestic moral power,
although that was asserted by the freest, the
most talented, and the most intelligent press in, the
universe. (Loud cheers.) Great as that was, it would
be but mere dust in the balance if it were not based on -
the finest navy and the finest army, both taken from
the finest people on the face of the earth. (Loud
cheers.) The hon. and gallant gentleman concluded by
expressing his high approval of the volunteer move-
ment, which " foreigners looked upon with astonishment
and something not far removed from awe."
Mr. Walter and Mr. Bouverie spoke on the subject of
Reform, expressing their opinion that a Reform Bill
was: required. They, •bowever, stated that -they were
determined to oppose the ballot.

PLYMOUTH, Tuesday Afternoon.—A heavy gale from
S.S.W. was blowing all last night ; it is now more
moderate from W.S.W. The ship Annandale, belong-
ing tolfessis. Nicholson, of Annan, has just put into
the Sound. She is 117 days from Whampoa, with over
9,000 chests of tea for London. When approaching the -
Azores, on the 10th instant, Captain Aitcheson died of
dysentery, and Mr. Green, chief officer, took charge from
the 14th to this date. , She experienced strong westerly
gales, and on the 21st, in let. 48 50 N., long., 14 16
W., was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away
yards and sails, bulwarks and stanchions, and two boats,
and 'swept overboard two seamen, Edward Stanley and
John Campbell, who were unfortunately drowned.
THE WEST INDIA STEAMER MEDWAY. —SOUTH -
AmrroN, Tuesday.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-
ship Medway, Captain Hole, returned from intercolonial
service for repairs, arrived this afternoon. She brought
one small package of specie, value £556, but had neither
passengers nor cargo. Throughout the passage she has
experienced strong gales .principally from the north-
west. The Medway anchored off Lepe last night on-
accouni of the violence of tlio gale, and during the
-aight,she dragged her anchor and touched a mndbank,
but was got off this morning at high water •Without
the least damage. On the 14th, in lat. 38.50 lk., long.
:12.52 W., the Medway passed the barque' Glenmqre,
bound. for England; and on the '2oth she passed the
brig Oporto, outward-bound.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, AND LOSS OF LlFE.—Early on
Friday morning the new Masonic Lodge at Totnes was
totally destroyed by fire, with all its paraphernalia,
plate, jewels, &c., as well as the under portion of the
same premises, nown as Bentall's wine stores. The
adjoining fine premises, in which the Devon and Corn-
wall Banking Company some years ago carried on
their business, have also- been completely gutted.
The loss sustained by the owners of the house pro-
perty is -very considerable, while the Freemasons
alone will lose upwards of 500. Mr. W. Bentall has -
lost his entire stock of wine in bottle, from 800 to 1,000
dozen of the finest old wines, which cannot be replaced.
His loss is estimated at from £1,500 to £2,000. These
premises were anciently known as the Totnes Theatre.
Mr. Hayman (a lodging-house keeper) and Mr. A. Hill,
who, we hear, were insured, will be great losers by de-
struction to fileir furniture in hasty removal. The con-
tents of dr Freemasons' Lodge were only insured in
£l5O, and Mr. Bentall is but partially insured in the
Phcenix tffice. William Hodge, omnibus driver of the
Seven Stais Hotel, in assisting at the engine, fell into
the river and was drowned.
NORTH LANCASHIRE REFORMATORY.—Mr. W. J..
Garnett, M.P., has issued the third annual report to
the subscribers of the "North Lancashire Reformatory
School, at Bleasdale, from which it appears that at 411-6-
ComMencement of the present year, there were 37
inmates. Twelve months ago, there were 28. The
daily average number of inmates in the school through-
out 1859, has been as near as possible 33k.
The general conduct of the boys is stated to have
been very satisfactory, and the liberty allowed to
some of the oldest boys to visit their friends for a few-
days has been in no case abused. Two boys have been
discharged under the Home Secretary's order, and
are now getting their living by their own honest
labour ; and two others are out on license. The
plan has.,been adopted of impressing upon the boys,.
and thiough them upon their parents and friends,
the duty of finding for themselves some situa-
tion, which can be approved by the managers of
the school, and not allowing themselves to. suppose that
all efforts on their part are quite unnecessary. During
the year, there have been four "runaways" froni the
reformatory, two of whcm have not been recovered ;
but the report appears to attribute the annoyance to the
return of a young convict from Parkhurst, who is one
of the two absentees: The Rev. Sidney Turner, the
Government inspector, visited the reformatory in
November, and expressed himself much pleased with.
the progress made during the last twelve months.

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE TO TRE_STORM OF SUNDAY.
—An inquest was held at Clayton (West Riding);-
Monday, touching the death of Hugh Connor, a fancy
weaver at Messrs. Norton's mill, Clayton. Connor, by
appointment with a friend named James Mitchell, called.
at the Queen's-head Inn at 5 o'clock last Saturday after-
noon: Connor, Mitchell, and two others remained there-
till between ten and eleven o'clock, laving had several
pints ofbeer during the interval. Connor and Mitchell left
together to proceed hOme, the night at that time being
very dark, and the storm of wind and rain terrific. Accord-
ing to Mitchell's account, they had not gone far when
Connor complained of being ill, and fell on the road.

instead of procuring assistance, and returning to search
Bothand
for his companion, remained in.a gas house attached to
a mill till seven o'clock next morning. A little before
that, however, as a person. named Mark Fisher was
going to Scissitt Church, he found the body of Connor
lying on the Wakefield and Denby Dale turnpike road.
The body was quite stiff and cold : verdict, " Found
