We inveighed yesterday against the rashness of al-
lowing any mistaken economy in the Naval Estimates
to degenerate into niggardliness. Such has all along
been to us matter for very serious solicitude in the
midst of our unaffected anxiety to witness a rea-
sonable diminution in the amount of our annual
expenditure. We have dreaded lest the more en-
thusiastic advocates of this decrease should, through
whit we "'lid not but regard as a very dangerous
solicitude, exert themselves to bring about reductions,
in reference to the maritime service of England, such
as rnust necessarily prove, in the end, most disastrous,
if it were not ultimately found
w to be absolutely irre-
trievable. Instead of enervating the defensive power
of
the
empire in this particular, we would see it, on
the contrary, thoroughly reorganized,farfra acnodnsveenrtyingconto-
siderably re-invigorated.

by some as extravagant. Rather than see the force
upon which our very existence, as an insular
power, is mainly dependent, we should be
g
advocates of economy though we are—to .countenancet.iin
a disbursement of an almost prodigal descry ion. It is
Consequently with regret that we observe the arguments
of this very mistaken system of retrenchment put
forward not only in the House of Commons, but
subsequently in the columns of a morning Contem-
porary, by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of
Tavistock. It would appear that Mr. TRELAWNY is
desirous that no misapprehension whatever should be
entertained as to what he really observed in the popu-
lar branch of the Legislature, insomuch that he
appeals to the Times to repeat yet more explicitly
what might not be sufficiently comprehensible in
the pages of Hansard—he invokes the aid of Journal-
ism to render yet more clear the records made by
the short-hand writers of Parliament. Hence the
letter published elsewhere in cur columns of this
evening, in which the Member for Tavistock en-
deavours to show that another million and-a-half
might be spared to the nation from the Naval Esti-
mates, already reduced since 1847 by 2,000,000/. ster-
ling I Seeing that the moneys were on Monday night
actually voted, it certainly appears to us rather ill-
tiMed and superfluous to demonstrate that 4,000,0001.
would be ample for the annual support of the mari-
time department, in lieu of the 5,700,000/. virtually
accorded to the Admiralty within the last forty-eight
boars by the House of Commons for the ensuing
twelve months.
A better employment of the munificent sums
granted to the Royal Navy of England is, of
course, as we hsve again and again in-
sisted, requisite. But a wholesale re-
duction of those duties to the tune of another
1,500,0001., we are by no means prepared to regard
as desirable. Whsn the Member for Tavistock ob-
serves that, with nearly this very amount of

Such was the case until the Statute of Wills (1
Vic., cap. 26), which came into operation on the Ist
day of January, 1838, and by which
.certain formalities were rendered necessary
in the execution and attestation of wills. The
principal features of the new law were, that
vvery will should be in writing, signed at the end or
foot thereof by the testator, in the presence of two or
more persons, who should, in the presence of the tes-
tator, affix their names as witnesses. It has, however,
been found that some one or more of these compara-
tively trifling points are but too frequently dispensed
with, so that wills which could not be impeached on
any other ground become inoperative. Many Learned
Judges have expressed their deep regret at being
compelled to disregard the clear and unequivocal ex-
pression of the testator's wishes on some merely tech-
nical difficulty by which the objects of their bounty
were reduced from a state of comparative affluence
and comfort to poverty and destitution. Persons of
even the highest rank were not exempted from these
mistakes, and we believe that her late Majesty Queen
ADELAIDE was included among the number.

found their way to hearths where wealth, and peace,
and comfort, ought to have had their habitation?'
The principle appears indisputable that " a will should
be considered valid and sacred where the form only
is impeached, and the substance is not objected to."
We trust, then, that the most inveterate advocate for
an early dissolution will acknowledge the propriety
of the most speedy remedy practicable, and give every
possible facility to the passing of the measure of the
Bill during the present session.
The other points relate merely to the attestation,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair a few minutes past
Twelve o'clock.

NEW MEMBER.

Viscount NEWPORT took the oaths and his seat,
on his re-election for South Shropshire.

RAMSGATE ROYAL HARBOUR BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Mr. WAWN inquired of the Member for the city of
London (Mr. Masterman) whether it was intended by
the Bill to carry out the recommendations of the Com-
mittee which had been appointed to consider the subject?
Mr. MASTERMAN was understood to say that the
object of the Bill was to reduce the tolls now charged at
Ramsgate for vessels engaged in the coasting trade.
Mr. STAFFORD said, since the new Admiralty
Board had come into office they had earnestly directed
their attention to the subject, and they were of opinion
that as neither the promoters nor the opponents of it had
sought interviews with the Board of Trade, nor laid plans
before them, any further proceeding at present with the
Bill would be premature. They thought the question
was not so much one for the Admiralty as
for the Board of Trade, as it affected the mercantile
and not the royal navy. He hoped the Hon. Member
would not object to the postponement of the Bill.
Sir F. BARING said he was bound in justice to the
promoters to explain that they were not open to the
accusation of the Hon. Member. They applied to the
Board of Trade in the first instance, but they were told
that the subject was one for the consideration of the Ad-
miralty—a view in which the Admiralty coincided. The
Bill was of very great importance, because it enabled
the trustees of the harbour to remove the grievances
which now pressed on the shipping trade, and could not
be removed except by means of an Act of Parliament.
It was at the suggestion of the late Government that
the promoters had introduced the Bill.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. I
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed heavily with prices as compared with Friday's
rates, Brazil d. higher, American at and
under sd. were 1-16 d. in favour of buyers.
The sales comprised 4,000 American, 350
Pernam and Maranham at Sid. to 61d., 20 Bahia at
6id., 100 Egyptian at W. to Bd., 500 Surat at 31d. to
4d., and 40 Sea Island at ls. lid. to Is. 54d. per lb.—ln
Railway Shares a good business was done at higher
prices.
The state of the London Dried Fruit trade is thus
described by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:—
" Our clearances of Currants are an indication of con-
siderable sales, to effect which the holders have been
obliged to submit to a further reduction in price. The
business has been limited for the most part to Upper
Gulph and low quality, fine and good fruit being scarce,
or, if offtred for sale, not finding an adequate price.
" Notwithstanding the late extensive shipments of old
fruit from this part to the continent, and the fact of
several direct cargoes of Island Fruit being on
the way thither, there is still a good inquiry from Hol-
land, where several cargoes of Island and good Patras
were purchased last week, not so much for immediate
resale and consumption as for investment by capitalists,
whose attention has been called to the extraordinary
low price of the articles. The decline iu Currants in
this market since the commencement of the present
season has been about 20 to 25 per cent. on the long
price, but as our Customs' duty now constitutes one half
or more of that price, this decline is equivalent to 50
per cent., and in some instances 60 per cent., upon the
original cost price in Greece."
Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New
Orleans, February 28, and published by Mr. James
Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars re-
lative to tho state of the Cotton Market:—" Our last
Circular, dated 14th inst., advised great briskness in our
Cotton Market; the transactions have since been quite
extensive, amounting to 93,300 bales during the past
fortnight. Prices have fluctuated slightly, and are now
about the same. Our last accounts from Liverpool
(11th inst,) announce a small decline in that market, but
as its cause is ascribed to large arrivals, without any
discouraging feature in trade, this news has scarcely
produced any effect here; we may from time to time
yet have irregularities in our rates, but we persist in
our opinion that no permanent, material decline can be
looked for while the present general demand continues
to prevail, and freights and exchange remain favourable,
as at this present moment, combined with the light stock
for sale. Our receipts during the last two weeks sum
up 95,639 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary,
61 to 7; low middling, 7i to 7i; middling,
to 71; good middling, 7i to 8; middling fair,
to 8i; fair, 81 to 9. Sales during the two weeks,
93,300 bales. Receipts at this port, 872,515 bales,
against 696,538 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 163,184 bales. Increase of total experts to
Great ritain, 103,274 bales. Increase of total exports
to France, 26,146 bales; and to other foreign ports 2,673
against last year."
The public sales of Colonial Produce have been of very
limited extent to-day, and scarcely any auctions are
announced for to-morrow. The stock of tea in London
on the 16th instant was 138,580,0001b5. against
29,050,0001b5. at the corresponding period of-last year.
An official statement of the amount of loans made by
the Commissioners for Public Works has been com-
pleted np to the let January, 1850 —Tho cum advanced

Mr. STAFFORD said he wished to cast no imputa-
tion upon the late Government. Owing to the short
period he had been in office he had not had time suffi-
ciently to consider the Bill.
Mr. DUNCAN hoped the shipping interest would be
relieved from the present oppressive tolls.
Mr. WAWN thought the late Board of Admiralty
were liable to great complaint for their conduct in regard
to the measure.
Mr. MASTERMAN said he could not consistently
force the second reading on the present occasion after
the statement of the Secretary to the Admiralty. He
would postpone the second reading until this day fort-
night.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
On Saturday last some very curious experiments were.
made at this establishment in the presence of several
scientific gentlemen to test the results of a recent inven-
tion of Dr. Bachhoffuer, for which patents have been ob-
tained by the inventor and Mr. N. Thfries. The invell:
tion consists in the substitution of thin pieces of metal
in the place of coal in fire-grates, which being acted apn
by a small: jet of gas, immediately become red hot and
emit a prodigious degree of heat. The flame, which 35f
produced by the proper but very simple managetnent the
the gas co-operating with the metallic lamirse, give
can
appearance of a brisk and cheerful coal fire, and
scarcely be distinguished from it. The heat can be
1,
r?-
gulated by turning the cock of the gas tube.
There
no deposit of soot, no smoke, nor any of the anno”01
which attend coal fires, and the gas can be extinguish
e
instanter, or the fire kept as low as may be conveoili
It will bo seen that this useful invention is of gene
interest, and riot only as affects private houses, bus,
sg
affects breweries, manufactories, and all pliite" wer.f
large fires are required, and by its adoption the
enormous chimneys might be dispensed with, as no 802°'%__
is generated. The expense with the gas now used lor
out
fighting would render a fire on this new principle were
the same expense as if coals were employed, but wl;
gren-
peat
what is termed non-carboniz-d gas employed,
diminution of expense would bo obtained. The W
tion is of public importance, and is well worth the atten-
Lion of the public.
