NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Morning Post.)

The new Board of Admiralty is now completely formed,
and consists of the following members :--The Right Hon.
Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Vice-
Admiral Fiyde Parker, C. 8., First Naval Lord ; Rear-
Admiral Maurice Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 8.,•
Second Naval Lord ; Captain the Hon. Richard Saun-
ders Dundas, C. 8., at present Captain-Superintendent
of Deptford Victualling and Dockyard, which he re-
signs, Third Naval Lord ; and the Hon. William Cow-
per, Lay Lord, with Mr. Bernal Osborne, First Secre-
tary to the Board.
The new board, it is admitted by all parties, is well
constituted in all the junior branches ; but some appre—
hensions are entertained, from the recollection of many
persons connected with the service, of what took
place during the period Sir James Graham was First
Lord of, the Admiralty, in 1832, that much benefit
cannot, be obtained for the interest of the service. It
is in tone degree satisfactory, however, to state that
others have a different opinion of the First Lord, and
believe that the obnoxious measures—such as the with-
drawal of the small pensions to the widows of warrant offi-
cers, which ceased at that time, was not the individual
act of the right hon. baronet, as many imagine, but a
resolution of the majority, if not the entire board, at
that period. It is now certain that the majority, if not
the entire board, are most favourably disposed to do all
in their power to promote the welfare of the warrant
officers and seamen ; and Sir James Graham will have
able and willing coadjutors in the present board if dis-
posed to restore, in any modified form, the pensions to
the widows of warrant officers, which is a measure requi-
site to be' adopted, even hadit never exiited, Vdriauce
steady and able seamen to enter and remain in the royal
navy; as the humblest in the service are now so calculat-
ing that they look forward to a future period when they
might hope, by good conduct, to be promoted and leave a
trifle to their widows in the event of their surviving
them. The First Lord will also have most efficient assist-
ance from the practical knowledge and experience of
some of the members of the new board, and the co-
operation of all in rendering the dockyards the most
efficient and best conducted establishments in this or
any other kingdom, and capable of producing the best
and most substantial war steamers of any navy, and
fully able, in every respect, for the defence of the
country. Sir James Graham has assumed the duty of
the First Lord of the Admiralty at a very important
period, as a small spark may set all Europe in a flame ;
and as this country has hitherto placed the greatest re-
liance on the strength of her wooden walls, may the
hope of its inhabitants be fully realised, that, should a
day again arrive when their protection is required, they
may be found amply sufficient for the emergency, and
the Board of Admiralty have the satisfaction of knowing
that they had fully performed their duty.
