PRIVATE PROPERTY IN TIME OF WAR.

A deputation from Liverpool, Bristol,- Manehester,
Leeds, Hull; &Haat, and' Gloticester, on the proposed
exemption of private property from -capture. at ..sea in
time of war, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston
on Friday. The depiitathin *as introduced by Messrs.
Horsfall and Ewart,. M.P.s. for Liverpool, and. con-
sisted of. Mr. C. ,Robertson, President of the Chamber
of Commerce; Mr. J. T.. Dawson, Vice-President Mr.
Thomas Bough (Chambo of Commerce),; Mr. Thomas
Baines, secretary, Liverpool-office; . from Manchester,
Mr., T. Bazley, M.P.;
.from Leeds, Mr. J. Lambert
(council of the Chamber of Commerce) ; from Hull, Mr:,
Clay, M.P. ; from Belfast, Mr. Leone Levi (agent 'for:
the Chamber of Commerce) ; from Bristol, Mr. W.
G9re Langton, M.P., and Mr. M. Whitwell (council of
the,Chamber of Commerce); from Gloucester,. Mr. H.
PhillpoW (Chamber of Commerce); from Sheffield, Mr.
S. Jobson Smith and Mr.:Robert Jackson.

Lord Palmerston said that he would not flatter the
deputation by professing to agree with them. He eon-
, sidered that the veryexistenee of this country depended on
its possessing the command of, the seas, and thatlir was
necessary for that object to retain thepower of seizing the
ships, and especially the seamen navigating the ships, of
foreign Powers. War was an enormous evil, but still it
was sometimes necessary to go to war in self-defence;
and a naval power like England ought not to surrender
any means of weakening her enemies at sea. If we did,
not seize their seamen on board their merchant vessels,
we should have to fight them on board their ships-of-
war. He denied that private property was spared in,
war on land any more than in war at sea. On the con-
trary, armies in an enemy's' country took whatever they
wanted or desired without the slightest regard to the
rights of property; as'we should find to our cost if a
hostile army should• ever' succeed in landing in- this;
country.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—CoIds, Coughs,
Shortness of Breath.--These corrective remedies are in-
fallible for these pectoral complaints, whick, neglected,,
often end in asthma, bronchitis, or consumption. The
Ointment well rubbed upow the_ chest and back, pene-
trating the skin, is carried directly to the lungs, when
it expels all impurities.- All 'the blood in•tcre'body con-
stantly passes through the lungs, and there all noxious
particles tending to produce disease 'tan be quickly,
thoroughly; and permanently, neutralised, Tendereil harm-
less, or ejected from the system. Holloway's. Ointment
and Pills perfectly accomplish this puriEcation ; and by
the blood, thus cleansed, the influence of these wonder-
ful medicaments reaches the remotest parts of the human
body, and thus cure all diseased action, whether•_ in-
ternal or external.,

THE DISEMBODIMENT OF THE MILITIA.—Mr. Palk
gave notice on Friday evening of the following mo-
tion :—" On going into committee of supply, to call the
attention of the house to the great 'expense incurred in
raising and training a regiment of militia, so as to make
it fit for permanent duty; and to ask the. Secretary of
State for War, what arrangements he contemplates to
fill up the vacancy in the numbers of the army that will
be occasioned by the disembodiment of the militia regi-
ments.

by the same admirable institution. The following is
the master's statement:7:-

At six p m.' the chief. engineer reported a leak in the
engine-robes,;applied;steam and hand-pumps, and kept
the ship.before, the wind, to enable the. steam-pumps to
throw as much water as possible • but the vessel shipped
so much water, that it'washed the men from the pimps.

I again hove the ship to at -seven p.m.. At nine p.m.,
the leak increased so fast that the fires in the stokehole-

were extinguished; continued to pump and bale the•
water init of engine-room, and at midnight discovered
four feet of water in the'rtwo midship compartments,
and increasing rapidly, iibtwithstanding that all hands
were employed pumping- and baling without inteemis-,
sion during the night. .

rails, and stanchions, besides deck-house, and the crew-
being neatly exbplirted—l determined to abandon the
ship. Acehrelino.lY' ordered the boats to be lowered,
three of which' were lowered with great difficulty,
owing to the- heavy sea,—the fourth was stove-in-
lowering, but no life lost. By 11 a.ni.,' succeeded in
getting the crew and passengers safely into the boats ;
by which time the ship had settled down to her gunwale,
and fearing to remain I , abandoned the ship without .
being able to save my own or . crew's effects, or ship/.

boats to.' be :kept before the sea, to endeavour 0 make

at the same time showing a signal of distress, on ireeing
