more and more felt. Opinions are hitherto just as
little clear as to the form of the change as with re-
gard to the right and just means of achieving the
object. Efforts to attain this end find expression in
associations, assemblies, and the press. All, how-
ever, suffer from the want of clearness in which the
whole question is enveloped, and hence arise the
errors which at all times are visible in all these
manifestations. Such errors will cease when the
Governments succeed in finding the form for the
changes whose necessity is universally admitted.
In the meantime the errors must fall' under the
treatment of the law, in so far as they, are at variance
with its precepts. Forcible intervention, taking into
consideration the recognised want out of which the
movement has sprung, and because all means of
satisfying:it are deficient, would hardly be calculated
to insure permanent repose.—The undersigned hag
much pleasure in availing himself of this oppertu,

Naval and Military Intelligence.

It was yesterday announced at Chatham Dock-
yard that the appointment of principal storekeeper,
vacant by the retirement or superannuation of Mr.
R. Laws, has been conferred by the Admiralty upon
Mr. Astley Panton Cooper, formerly storekeeper
and accountant at the naval and victualling estab-
lishment, Trincomalee, Ceylon.
-The Gladiator, 6, paddle-sloop, Captain-Elphin-
stone D'O. D'A. Aplin, arrived atPortsmouth yes-
terday morning from the coast of Ireland. She is
ordered to fill up with coal and afterwards take on
board supernumerary officers and men, with pro-
visions, stores, and parcels for conveyance to the
ships of the Channel fleet now cruising off the Irish
coast, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir
Sydney Colpoys Dacres, .
The Minotaur iron frigate, Master Frank Inglis,
was yesterday berthed alongside the sheer jetty of
Portsmouth dockyard, to receive on board gun car-
riages and slides of various patterns for experimental
practice off the Wight, with 12-ton guns, mounted
on the ship's bivadside. The carriages with their
slides already received on board comprise one
wooden carriage and slide of the Admiralty pattern,
improved by Capt. Astley Cooper Key, C. 8., Go-
vernor of the Royal Naval College, and command-
ing her Majesty's ship Excellent, one iron carriage
and slide from Woolwich Arsenal, on Col. Shaw's
plan, and one also of iron constructed on the plan
introduced by Commander Scott, of her Majesty's
ship Research.. A fourth carriage and slide of iron,
designed by Sir William Armstrong, yet remains to
be received from Elswick.
The iron frigate Warrior, 6,109 tons, 1,250 horse-
power, undergoing a refit at Portsmouth in readi-
ness for re-commission, has her topmasts on cud
and lower and topmast rigging nearly ready for
blocking down. But very little remains to be done
to her machinery, and the ship could be placed in
commission at a comparatively short notice if her
services were urgently required.
The Mersey, 40, wooden frigate, 3,733 tons, 1000
horse power, refitting in Portsmouth yard steam
basin, is completed in her machinery aad also in her
rigging aloft, only requiring the Master Shipwright's
department with its shipwrights, joiners, caulkers,
&c., to complete their quota of the work of the ship's-
- to render it ready for recenimission. This work
may be-completed in three weeks, or it may be ex-
tended over three mouths, according to the number
of hands employed on the ship and the manner in
which the work is carriedout.
The Pearl, 21, wooden corvette, 1,469 tons, 400
horse power, in the stetin basin of Portsmouth yard,
and the Cruiser, 5, -goodon sloop, 752 tons, 60 horse
power, both fitting out for recommission, are com-
pleted in their machinery and rigging, but bothhave
still a number of hands belonging to the shipwright
department ox board. The closing remarks applied
to the Mersey are also applicable to both the Pearl
and Cruiser.
The iron screw troopship Simoom, 1,980 tons, 400
horse power, fitting out at Portsmouth, has her top
masts on end and ratlines on her rigging in readi-
ness for blocking down. She has been thoroughly
cleared out during her repairs, now extended over a
considerable period, and her internal fittings have
been rearranged in a very superior manner, the pri-
mary idea in doing so being the comfort and health
of the troops on a long voyage. The Simoom was
laid down as an iron frigate in 1845 (in the days
when We knew nothing of the comparative resist-
ance offered by different thicknesses of iron plate to
shot), and possesses her original gunports, which
afford admirable means of ventilation to her main
troop deck. Finch am, in his " History of Naval
Architecture," speaks of her as " a ship of beautiful
form." It is expected that she will be commissioned
in a very short time by Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, late
of the Adventure and Himalaya, who has superin-
tended f.er equipment.
The Danae, 4, wooden sloop, 1,081 tons, 300 horse
power of engines, recently commenced building at
Portsmouth from the designs of Mr. J. R. Reed, Chief
Constructor of her Majesty's navy, is being got
well forward, her frame being set up to the cant
timber.
Parcels • for her Majesty's ships serving on the
West Coast of Africa station will be conveyed out
by the Bristol screw frigate, Capt. L. 11. Somerset,
flagship of Commodore G. T. P. Hornby, and all
parcels intended to be sent by this ship must be de-
livered at Portsmouth not later than Saturday next,
the 11th inst.
On TuesdaylastMajor Stuart, Inverness, by order
of the Commander-in-Chief, presented Private
Henry Ward, formerly of the 78th Highlanders, pen-
sioner, with a medal and £5 gratuity for long ser-
vice and good conduct. and was previously pre-
sented with the Victoria Cross for his gallant and
devoted conduct in having, on the night of the 25th
and morning of the 26th September, 1857, remained
by the dooly of Capt. H. M. lIavelock,10:1hio was Foot,
Deputy-Assist. Adjt.-Gen., Field Force,
severely wounded ; and, on the morning of the 26th
l
September, escorted that officer and Private
(
Pilkington, 78th Foot, who was also wounded, and
had taken refuge in the same dooly, threugh a heavy
cross fire of ordnance and musketry. This soldier
remained by the side of the dooly, and, by example
and exertion, kept the dooly-bearers from dropping
their double load throughout the heavy fire, with the
same steadiness as if on parade, thus saving the lives
of both, and lodging them in safety in the Bailie
Guard. Ward is quite a young man, and is at pre-
sent in the service of the railway company at Inver-
ness.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Frederic W. Rea, master, addi-
tional, to the Indus ; Robert W. Beaumont, surg.,
to the Constance ; Archibald G. Colquhoun, assist.-
surg., additional, to the Fisgard.

The most popular new book at the present mo-
ment in Paris and Brussels is Victor Hugo's
"Chansons des Rues et des Bois." In many parts of Lon-
don large placards of the work may be seen. It has already
been calculated that, at the price paid by M. Lacroix to
Victor Hugo, each line of the work brings in to its author
exactly 71 francs.
