THE NAVY.

Tho half-yearly inspections at Aldershott have been c )n-
-tinned during the past week, in every instance with the
moat favourable results. On Monday the Ist battalion 6th
(Royal) Regiment was inspected by Major-General Taylor,
commanding the Ist infantry brigade; on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday the 59th and 37th Regiments and the
Commissariat Staff Corps by the same brigadier; and the
87th Royal Irish Fusiliers by Major-Gen. Bates. The re-
giments were put through the manual, platoon, and bayonet
exercises, as well as a number of field movements, such as
advancing in line, retiring by fours from the right of com-
panies; firing one round by companies from the right;
firing one round by wings; retiring by double column of
subdivisions, and a variety of other exercises calculated to
test the efficiency of the troops to the utmost. On the
conclusion of each inspection the regiments were formed
into square, and the General addressed the officers, non-
commissioned officers, and men, expressing their high ap-
proval of the manner in which the manoeuvres had been
peformed. The regimental and companies' books, the men's
dinners, kits, the married quarters, &c., were also inspected,
and pronounced satisfactory in every particular.

Dr, Newman on Dr, Whately,

I owe him a great deal. He wes a man of generous and
warm heart. He was particularly loyal to his friends, and,
to use the common phrase, " all hie geese were swans."
While I was still awkward and timid in 1821, he took me
by the hand, and acted the part to me of a gentle and en-
couraging instructor. He, emphatically, opened my mind,
and taught mo to think and to use my reason, After being
first noticed by him in 1822, I became very intimate with
him in 1825, when I was Nice-Principal at Alban Hall, I
gave up that office in 1826, when I became tutor of my col-
lege, and his hold upon me gradually relaxed. lie had done
his work towards me or nearly so, when he had taught me
to:see with my own eyes and to walk with my own feet. Not
that I had not a good deal to learn from others still, but
influenced them as well as they me, and co-operated rather
than merely concurred with them. As to Dr. Whately, his
mind was too different from mine for us to remain long on
one line. I recollect how dissatisfied he was with an artUe
of mine in the London Review, which BlancoWhitc, good-
humouredly only, called Platonic. When I was diverging
from him (which he did not like), I thought of dedicating
my first book to him, in words to the effect that ho had not
only taught me to think, but to think for myself. He left
Oxford in 1831 ; after that, as far as I can recollect, I never
saw him but twice--when he visited the University ; once
in the street, once in a room. From the time that he left I
have always felt a real affection for what I must call his
memory; for thenceforwari he made himself dead to me.
My reason told me that it was impossible that we ceuld have
got on together longer ; yet I loved him too much to bid
him farewell without pain. After a few years had passed,
I began to believe that his influence on me in a higher re-
spect than intellectual advance (I will not say through his
fault), had not been satisfactory. I believe that he has in-
serted sharp things in his later works about me. They
have never come in my way, and have not thought it ne-
cessary to seek out what would pain me so much in the
reading. What he did for me in point of religious opinion,
was first to teach one the existence of the Church, as a sub-
stantive body or corporation ; next to fix in me those anti-
Erastian views of Church polity, which were one of the
most prominent features of the Tractarian movement...—

Swift was dining in Ireland, after dinner intro-
