NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The First Lord of the Admiralty, theißight Hon. Sir
F. T. Baring, Bart., has left town on a short visit to the
Queen at Windsor Castle, by command of her Majesty.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. Ti. F. Berkeley, C. 8., with
K.C.8., paid an official visit to Woolwich Dockyard
the Survey or of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker,
yesterday.

THE ADMIRAL'S DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
PENSION.
The distinguished eervice pension of 150/. per annum
has been conferred upon Admiral Zachary Mudge, vice
R. Kinley, deceased. Admiral Mudge now retires from
the active list, and the promotions •we enumerated yes-
terday will take place as a matter of course.
Admiral Mudge. as stated in the " Naval Biography,"
is son of the late John Mudge, Esq., of Plymouth, an
eminent physician. This officer entered the navy Nov.
1, 1780, as captain's servant, on board the Foudroyant,
84, Captain John Jervis, and on April 21, 1782, assisted
at the capture, after a gallant action of nearly an hour,
attended. however, with no casualty to the British, of the
French 74-gun ship Pegase, whose loss, besides being
seriously demigod, amounted, out of a crew of 700 men,
to 80 killed and wounded. During the next seven
years we find him serving on the Home ,and American
stations, chiefly in the capacity of midshipman, on
board the Pegase and another ship, both commanded by
Captain Hon. George Cranfield Berkeley; Sampson,
Palmer; Leander, 50, flagship

Nov. 8, 1798, of the Fly, 16, and while in that sloop, in
which he continued until posted Nov, 15,
1800, he effected the capture of the French
privateers La Glaneur, of 6 guns and 32 men, and La
Trompeur, and was all but lost on an immense
island of ice during his passage home from Halifax with
dispatches from his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent.
His subsequent appointments were:-April 1, 1801, to
La Constance, 24; Sept. 23. 1802, to the Blanche, of
44 guns; Nov. 18. 1805, to the Phoenix, 36; and July 4,
1814 ( having left the Phoenix in May, 1810), to the
Valiant, 74. In La Constance Captain Mudge, in the
spring of 1801, received the thanks of the British mer-
chants.and consuls at Lisbon and Oporto for the service
he had rendered them in safely convoying a fleet from
Falmouth to Portugal, and also for the activity ho had
exhibited in collecting some vessels at Viana, laden with
brandy, which could not have otherwise been got ready
to go home under his protection. About the same period
he captured the Spanish national cutter El Duides, of 8
guns and 69 men, and lugger privateer Venture, of 2
guns and 27 men. In July, 1801, with the assistance of
the Stork, 18, and of the boats of the two ships, wo find
him making prize near Cape Ortegal, of El Cantara
Spanish privateer of 22 guns and 110 men, and of her
consort, a vessel mounting 10 guns. La Constance
was subsequently engeged in conveying a num-
ber of disbanded foreign soldiers from Lyming-
ton to the Elbe. At the close of 1803, Captain
Mudge, then in the Blanche, was employed at the
blockade of St. Domingo, where, in less than a month,
he captured and destroyed 24 of the enemy's vessels. In
the course of 1804.5 he had the increased good fortune
to take, independently of a large number of merchant-
men, the Gracieuse and Amide, French national vessels
of 14 owns each, the Dutch schooner Nimrod, of 4 guns,
and the French privateer Le Hasard,of 3 guns and 58 men.
On July 19, in the latter year, however, the Blanche was
herself captured (after an action of 45 minutes, and a
loss, out of 215 men, of 8 killed and 15 wounded, and
when on the verge of sinking) by a powerful French
squadron, consisting of La Topaze frigate, of 44 guns
and 410 men, one sloop of 22 guns and 236 men, a
corvette of 18 guns and 213 men, and a brig of 16 guns
and 123 men. Under such circumstances, Captain
Mudge was, of course honourably acquitted by a court-
martial of all blame in the loss of his ship; and not only
acquitted but eulogised for his very able and gallant
conduct. He afterwards served, as above, in the Phoenix
and Valiant, on the Bay of Biscay, Lisbon, and Brazilian
stations. The latter ship he left in August, 1815. He
became a rear-admiral July 22, 1830; and a vice-admiral
Nov. 23, 1841.

Mr. R. C. Allen (1841), who was formerly with the
steam guard-ship Blenheim, at Portsmouth, and who

THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON.
PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.—Yesterday the Rev. John
Hatchard preached in the evening on behalf of the un-
fortunate persons who have lost their relatives through
the destruction of the Amazon. The church was densely
crowded, as in the morning, many persons having ex-
pected again to hear the Rev. William Blood, in which
they were disappointed. There was a collection again
at the close of the service, when 131. was subscribed.
The Rev. W. Blood preached at the same time in St.
Andrew's Chapel, on the invitation of the Rev. George
Hadow, the incumbent; the chapel, as may be supposed,
was densely crowded, and there was at one time
scarcely any passing through the street, from the press
of people anxious to get in. The Reverend Gentleman
again gave a description of the scene which he wit-
nessed on board, and was listened to with the deepest
interest by all present. At the close there was another
collection, when the amount subscribed was 371. 65.;
making the total of the three services above 103/.
The Rev. Mr. Blood preaches again in St. Andrew's
Church on Wednesday morning. We ought to have
stated that when the passengers arrived here they were
waited upon by the Rev. John Hatchard, who offered
them the use of his house, and the advance of any
moneys that they might require. The Spanish gentle-
man, Senhor Juan de Cima, it is said, lost 18,000 dollars.
Messrs. Fox, the agents of the West India Mail Steam
Packet Company, to whom the Amazon belonged, also
offered their assistance ; and the Rev. W. Blood was
very kindly taken care of by Samuel Dury, Esq., who
supplied bim with clothes and whatever he required.
The reverend gentleman has been and is still staying at
his friend's house. Senhor Juan de Cima left the Royal
Hotel on Sunday morning, and proceeded by train to
London. In the evening Mr, Kilkelly alto loft for Bris-
tol. This gentleman is an agent at Barbadoes to the
firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co.
We are glad to state that the passengers who arrived
here met with the greatest kindness. Mr. Kilkelly told
us last night that if he were to stay till he had partaken
of the hospitality of all from whom he had received in-
vitations, he should never be able to leave the town. He
promised, however, to return here before long.
The following official communication will afford con.
siderable satisfaction:— _ _

" Admiralty, Jan. 19, 1852.
" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your letter of the 17th
instant, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to acquaint you that an investigation
(independent of that now going on) into all the eircum-
stmices of the loss of the Amazon will be made by the
Board of Trade, with whom the duty of making such
inquiry rests—l am, &c.,

" W. A. B. HAMILTON.
" To Messrs. Nash and Nash, Colonial Agonti,

Westminster.
It will, doubtless, bo interesting to our readers to
learn that a piece of pine wreck, about twenty feet long
and about five feet wide, apparently a portion of a pad.
die-box, has been washed ashore on Swanpool beach,
near Falmouth. The wood appears new, and bears
marks of fire, and probably formed a part of the Ama-
zon. The preventive men are watching for other parts
of the same wreck which may be washed on this coast,
and will, of course, keep a sharp look-out for the bodies
of any of the unfortunate sufferers who may have pe-
rished 'in the fearful catastrophe of the destruction of
the Amazon.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
(From the Times).
The " Executive Council " of the operative engineers
appear very properly impressed with the results of Lord
Cranworth's answer to their application. This reply, so
clear and incontestable in its argumente, so conclusive in
its judgment, and withal so benevolently expressed arid
delivered, must convince every sensible workman that
in followiug Mr. Newton and his colleagues he has no
ground to stand upon. If " co-operative shops,"
against all the probabilities of calculation and experince,
can be made to succeed, the working engineers will, of
course, get the benefit of the venture; but they can ex-
pect no eupport in the appeal which they have made to
the public; and their demands, as Lord Cranwort'u has
informed them, are not only inconsistent with common
justice between employers and employed, but are abso-
lutely beyond the power of legislation, whatever might
be a legislator's desire.
To modify, if possible, the effects of so decisive an
opinion, the " General Secretary" of the society ad-
dressed us a letter, in which he alleges that Lord Cran-
worth's conclusions " rested upon a view of the case
which included demands the society had never made,
and which were opposed to their opinions." The de-
mand hero alluded to is that
concerning
thedenialthe employ-
ment of unskilled labourers, On thus ad-
vanced we will presently speak further, but, for the
main argument, it is quite sufficient to state that Lord
Cranworth's conclusions were wholly irrespective in their
force and substance of this particular pretension. If
the society never preferred such a request, then no such
request exists to be tested by Lord Cranworth's rule,
but his Lordship's decision was not only final, but gene-
ral. He laid down the common sense of the whole case,
whatever forms it might assume. " All the relations,"
said he, " between employers and employed are, f,'-
oueht to be, those of perfectly free 'agents." It matte..
nothing whether these relations concern the description
of particular workmen, or the hours of work, or the rate
of wage. Every one of these questions is a mere ques-
tion of bargain. Every engagement between master and
man is a free and open contract between two individuals
on terms to be decided by themselves. "I do not won-
der," said Lord Cranworth, "that the masters roe te4
agree to any arbitration that is to impose upon them any
restriction whatever as to the terms of such contracts.
No one ought to presume to define such terms, any more
than to bind the men in like manner." Now, it must be
pretty evident that these plain conclusions have nothing
whatever to do with the character of any particular
demand. Whether the men did or did not include in
the points for which they desired an arbitration the em-
ployment of certain kinds of labour, is altogether beside
the question. The opinion of Lord Cranworth was this,
—that no arbiter could interfere between employers and
employed, or ought to do so if he could; and with this
the opinion of the public entirely coincides.
But now, as the "General Secretary" has ventured
upon an overt denial of en important point, and as three
independent gentlemen have tendered him a species of
support in his abnegation, we will once more revert to the
subject. " The Amalgamated Society," writes Mr.
Allan, "do not ask for the discharge of unskilled la-
bourers." "We know perfectly well," adds Lord
Goderich, for himself and his two colleagues, " that you
made no such demand." Now, if this disclaimer merely
affirms that in the particular notice with which the
operations of the society commenced no express demand
for the dismissal of unskilled labourers was contained,
we are ready to acknowledge a fact which, with the
documents actually before the public, could never have
been brought into dispute. The demands made in the
circular summons of November were for the abolition of
overtime and piecework only; but to assert upon this evi-
dence that the society has never sought to restrict the em-
ployment of "labourers," or to compass the removal of
these unskilled hands, is a piece of equivocation so disre•
putable that we must perforce seek for some separation
on such a point between Viscount Goderich and Mr.
W. Newton. In May last the society did send a depu-
tation to Oldham, expressly for the purpose of seeing
that their own resolves, their own deliberate decisions,
were carried out by Messrs. Hibbert's men; and the
members of this deputation signed a document which
only allowed Messrs. Hibbert the interval between that
period and Christmas for transferring all planing,
shaping, and boring machines from the management of
,
labourers " entirely into the hands of the mechanics.,
The original copy of this document we have seen. In
July Mr. W. Ilemm, the Secretary of the Society at
Manchester, addressed to Messrs. Parr, Curtis, and
Madeley, from the branch-office of the society in that
town, ten demands on behalf of their men, of which
eight had reference to the employment of unskilled
hands, and to the partial concession of these
demands Messrs. Parr and Co. were coerced.
The preface to the society's printed rules speaks of
the " vested interests " of skilled engineers in engineer-
ing labour, and of the " encroachments to be restricted"
by the determined efforts of the society. The rules
themselves limit actually the number of apprentices, and
WO presume Lord Goderich will not affirm that they
Who ciretunscribe_ao jealously theeadmission of " legal "
apprentices, for fear of stocking the labour-market,
would permit the market to be stocked by men who had
never been apprentices at all. Furthermore, during this
very discussion, have not the denials of the " Council "
on this point been most manilestedly qualified and
guarded? Did not their speakers say that they made no
demand for the " present dismissal of labourers?" Did
not the men at Southampton make the very same re-
serve? Did not Mr. Newton himself limit his gracious
indulgence to the labourers who had " earned a title "
to theiemachines, and are not the unskilled hands them-
selves, as shown by their speeches at Manchester
on Monday last, perfectly impressed with the truth of
their position? In the face of all this evidence, is it not
the veriest jugglery in the world to assert that the so.
ciety " has not made a demand" to which it is absolutely
committed by its own rules and transactions, simply
because it has not thought fit to include it in the parti-
cular notice commencing its operations? However, to
bring this point to an issue once for all, we here challenge
the " Council" of the society to a public avowal that any
labouring man in these kingdoms is free to bestow his
labour on any honest work in which ho can find employ-
ment, and in which he and his employer can come to
satisfactory terms. If they will make this acknowledg-
ment they will not only clear themselves on the point in
dispute, but they will have made a great advance towards
a settlement of the whole quarrel. If they will not, it is
hopeless for them to attempt any delusion of the public
by quibbles or evasions.
It was not without some surprise that we observed
the inheritor of at least a Ministerial name affix his
signature to a document implying some species of par-
ticipation in the purposes of Mr. W. Newton and his
colleagues, but we avail ourselves of the occurrence to
bring the question more closely to issue for the conclu-
sive information of the country at large. Lord Goderich,
Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Yansittart have plainly no objects
in view but those of pacification and benevolence. It
would be injustice to raise a question on such a point,
and we trust, therefore, that they will attend to the ob-
servations subjoined. The Amalgamated Society, to
whose operations they are giving a partial support, has
commenced a deliberately-planned scheme of aggression
against the employers of engineering labour for the an-
ticipated advantages of those employed. Its views in-
clude especially a forced distribution of labour among
its members, and the prevention of any emaLe
making more than what are estimated et
days' work in a week, however stimulated by
circumstances, or however industriously
inclined, lest
there should be a smaller amount of labour available for
moreover,
the men on the society's lists. It endeavours,
to keep the. market of engineering labour as high as
possible by forcibly stopping the supply, and
to all but
u while it
would restrict employment, as we have shown,
its own licensed hands, it would keep those hands as few
as possible, and maintain them in the greatest, rate of
wage for the smallest rate of work. It has assumed to
control not only the labour which masters mightpaeimdr
aonyd,
but the wages by which this labour might be
has enforced its assumptions by the withdrawal of
workmen previously well satisfied with their engage..
meats. Extending its views by degrees it has resolved
on acs eneral organization of labour, and has opened
the mpagn with the two demands considered
least likely to create alarm, candidly avowing that
other measures were to follow by which " lasting
social advantages" would be secured. These demands
it now advocates by arguments grossly insincere,
with either a concealment or denial of the and
purposes re-
cently acknowledged to remain behind. Such is the
Amalgamated Society, such its aims, and such the posi-
tion in which it unexpectedly discovers itself. Each and
all of these propositions we hold ourselves prepared to
establish, either by the printed rules of the society itself,
or by the published documents of the committees out of
which the Society was constituted, signed by the very
members who compose its
therefore, present council. We submit,
a reasonable alternative to the three gentle-
men who have
'sm doings. Will they gainsay the
charged themselves with the quasi-patron-
age of the societyd • asser-
tions we have made, and invite us to the recapitulation
of proofsalready things
being given, or will they assert that, to
itulations
so, the Amalgamated Society deserves the support
of the community in its present efforts?

R. DISRAELI'S POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY OF LORD
GEORGE BENTINcE.—A third and revised edition of this
work has just appeared. " A political biography of Lord
George 13
entinck, by Mr. Disraeli (says the Dublin Univer-
sity Magazine), must needs be a work of interest and im-
portance. Either the subject or the writer would be suffi-
cient to invest it with both—the combination surrounds it
with peculiar attractions. In this most interesting volume
Mr. Disraeli has produced a memoir of his friend in which
be has combined the warmest enthusiasm of affectionate
attachment with the calmness of the critic, and in which ho
has not only added to his reputation, but we verily believe
must increase his influence as a politician."
WRECK OF THE SHIP SCOTIA AT LADUAN.—
Accounts from Labuan, received by the Hon Company's
steamer Pluto,state that the ship Scotia, of 790 tons, of and
from Bombay to China, with cotton, was lost on a small
island to the north of Labuan about the 18th November last.
The captain and some Europeans and lascars arrived at La-
buan in a boat, The Lady Raffles, which was landing coals
at port Rallies, immediately proceeded to the scene of the
wreck, and had not returned at latest dates. No lives were
lost at the time of the wreck, but the ship
is reported to
have been full of water when left.— Singapore Free Press,
Dec. 5.

Mr. Forteseue, of Ravensdale Park, it is said, is to
be created an Irish Peer, by the title of Lord Clermont.
