TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir, —I n justice to Vice eA-d—mi ;al- —Sir Fleetwood
Pellew, I must request you to correct the mistake re-
garding his sea services ; for the comment upon his cha-
racter in your paper of yesterday states the Resistance
to have been the last ship he served in as a captain forty
years since. Now, allow me to inform you that Ad.
miral Sir Fleetwood commanded the Revolutionaire, a
frigate, under Sir Graham Moore, in the Mediterranean
—from 1820 to 1823 (I believe). I mush also mention
that I commanded a frigate—the Psyche—which Sir
Fleetwood had been the captain of previously, and that
I never heard a word then of his being a severe officer.
This was on the East India station in 1811, where he
was well known as a gallant and promising
young
officer.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant'
ROB. W. G. FESTING, Rear Admiral.
Maiden Bradley, near Frome, Jan. 6, 1854.

MANNING THE NAVY,
TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWEL
sir,--The recent proclamation relating to prize money
will not materially improve the condition of the class
upon whom our defence at sea will mainly rest—our
able seamen. It will still be true, by way of example,
that, of a given prize taken, the captain will take as his
share 791/. 13s. and an able seaman will take 61. 12s.
At least such is the result of a useful analysis recently
published.
Further details would encumber the question. You
want to man your fleet at a time when it can be proved
that men receiving 121. a month from Australia to Lon-
don actually left a ship touching at Plymouth and paid
a class of men called runners 3/. 10s. a head to take
their places on the voyage to London, thus enabling the
owner to get his ship navigated to the Thames for
nothing. Under such circumstances how can you help
raising wages largely unless you make the shares of able
seamen more attractive ?
The true proportion should be the same as that which
subsists between the respective emoluments of any two
classes. If seamen, before the mast, had a chance of
rising to the higher grades, it might be argued that supe-
rior advantages given to the officers of a ship act as an
incentive to the men to distinguish themselves. As, how-
ever, the fact is otherwise, the Admiralty practically main-
tains a system which tends to discourage from the naval
service the very pith and marrow of the nation's strength.
The consequence to the tax payer will be increased bur-
thew while the men you get will bei of an inferior deaerip-

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN THE EAST

INDIES.
Out of respect to an old and gallant officer we (Morn-
ing Herald) publish the following letter, although we
have exposed the error of our contemporary. We may
take the Opportunity of repeating that the son of Lord
Exmouth was offered a command by a Whig Board of
Admiralty. We believe it was understood that the gal-
lant vice-admiral would only retain the command-in-
chief of the East Indies and China station for a year ;
but although the twelvemonth has just expired, there is
no doubt that he has been formally recalled, and that
the official intimation of the public decision of the
Board of Admiralty is now on its way to the Win-
chester :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
Sir,—Will you be good enough to insert in your
paper, which contains so much naval news, the accom-
panying letter,• the copy of that sent to the editor of the
Times, explanatory of Vice-Admiral • Sir Fleetwood
Pellew's services ? and 'I have since heard that Sir
Fleetwood's appointment to the Revolutionaire was in
1817—only three years after the Resistance was paid
off.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ROB. W. G. FESTING, Rear-Admiral.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was less activity in most of the provincial markets
held on Saturday, nevertheless, wheat supported the late
rise in the quotations; but barley, owing to the large sup-
plies on offer, might have been purchased on lower terms.
The oat trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward
tendency. Beans, peas, and flour were very firm.
The amount of business doing in grain in most of the
near continental ports continues comparatively limited,
yet holders have been firm. The latest advices from New
York state that a large business was doing in grain and
flour for shipment to England, on higher terms.
Very limited supplies of home produce arrived up to our
market last week. The imports were good, viz, 23,228
quarters of wheat, 4,485 barley, 9,470 oats, 15 beans, 870
peas, 2,012 linseed, 1,964 rapeseed, 295 sundry seeds, and
36,763 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise, from Essex
and Kent, the supply of wheat was on the increase, and of
fair average quality. From all other quarters, coastwise
and by land carriage, the receipts were moderate. The
attendance of both town and country millers was compa-
ratively small, and only a moderate business was transacted
at last Monday's prices, but at which a good clearance was
effected. The large imports of American flour induced
great caution in effecting sales of home grown wheat for
forward delivery.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, we
were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, supplied.
On the whole, about an average business was doing in most
kinds. Prices remained the same as on this day se'nnight.
Very few transactions took place on continental account.
In floating cargoes, several sales took place, but wholly
for homy consumption.

Malting barley was dull, and is. per qr. lower than on
this day se'nnight. Grinding and distilling sorts sold on
former terms.

We had rather a slow sale for malt ; neverthless, the
quotations were supported.

Oats—the supply of which was small—moved off steadily,
at from 6d. to is. per qr. above the rates of Monday last.
There was only a moderate inquiry for beans, on former
terms.

The demand for peas was in a sluggish state, at late

posited, and the father received 341. 65., being the amount of the De-

energetic self-command, than we hare a right to
expect from the husband of the Queen of England.
And why should not we, too—the public—bide our
time ? We write on the 16th of January. We
know that, in fifteen days more, the great Inquest
of the Nation will assemble. Six hundred and
fifty-four persons of every imaginable variety of feel-
ing and opinion, will then meet to deal with any
and every matter of public interest as duty and
inclination may prompt them. Surely, if there be
so much as the shadow of a shade in these charges,
some one of them R ill then find it out. Possibly,
we may then, too, discover what is made
of ; and somebody, we doubt not, will be there
to hang a calf-skin on his recreant limbs. But as-
and at all events, these charges, if they
will then come to their trial. If the
lsiuvree as-
suredly, loy, long,
gauntlet be thrown down, the Ministers must take
it up—the truth must be known. Why not wait
until Tuesday, the 31st ? Justice asks it ; and pa-
tience will not be severely taxed.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Very moderate supplies of potatoes have arrived coast-
wise and by railway. The imports aro only 40 tons from
Belfast. The demand is steady, and prices are well sup-
ported. Kent and Essex Regents, 140 s to 1555; Sccitch
ditto, 130 s to 140 s ; Scotch cups, 1008 to 120 s per ton.

WOOL.
The small sales of East India and low foreign wools held
last week passed off steadily. The whole of the parcels
offered changed hands at full prices. There is an improved
demand for both English and colonial wools in the private
market, at extreme rates. Last week's imports were '656
bales from Taganrog, 203 from Bombay, 12 from Madras,
93 from Buenos Ayres, 487 from Port Philip, 261 from
Constantinople, 419 from Geelong, 310 from Swan River,
1,447 from Sydney, 600 from Algoa Bay, and 99 bags from

CIRCULATION OF THE MORNING PAPERS.
SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
THE extraordinary increase which has taken
place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" since its
enlargement, three years ago, has been followed by so great an
influx of advertisements as to render indispensable the publication of
a series of SUPPLEMENTS after the commencement of the
approaching session. Supplements to the " Morning Advertiser will
accordingly be issued as often as the pressure cf Advertisements or
intelligence may render their publication requisite. To form an idea
of the increase which has taken place in the circulation of the
" Morning Advertiser," it will only be necessary to give the News-
paper Stamp Returns for 1850, and the circulation, as nearly as may
be ascertained, of the various morning papers, except one, at the
present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave, the following re-
sults :

It will be observed from this statement, that, omitting the" Times,"
the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" was then far above that
of its morning contemporaries, Were tile Stamp Returns to be given
down to the present time, the relative circialation of the" Morning
Advertiser to its four morning contemporaries - assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as f llows:

Morning Herald .. • • • •
Morning Chronicle .. . • • . . • .. 912,647
Morning Post .• . .. ••• • . .
It will be seen that the present circulation of the "Morning Adver-
tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its four contem-
poraries, and nearly treble that of one of their number. The annals
of journalism contain no instance of success at all approaching to this.
Such brilliant progress is the best compliment which could be paid to
the " Morning Advertiser's entire Independence of all parties and
Governments, and its earnest and unceasing advocacy of the popular
cause.

( From Ae Times of this day. )

A few days ago we called attention to the cynical
tone, the total absence of political morality, and
the inability to conceive any motives higher than
thofie of the most sordid, immediate, and short-
sighted interest, which characterise the Fusionist
journals of France. Embarked in a cause which
appeals to no immediate interest and holds out no pros-
pect of material advantage, the organ of the re-united
scions of the house of Bourbon has made itself above all
things conspicuous for its rejection of the feelings of
honour and duty, and stands at the bar, of public opinion
a criminal convicted of sacrificing the interests of its
country to those of its party, without honour and expe-
diency, and without conciliating the esteem of the gene-
rous, or commanding the approbation of the prudent.
In ii tone of abject humility this journal tells us that, at
the moment when the question of war has become imme-
diate, and before the struggle begins, it has felt it its duty
to examine the interests of France and England in
the struggle, without party spirit, and without the pre-
tension to influence the decisions of Government, and
that, a war once commenced, the policy of France shall
be its own. In this intermediate stage, then, the po-
licy of France and of the Fusionist organ in not iden-
tical. While peace lasts the interests of its party are
to be served at the expense of its country, and only in
the case of war is the larger duty to predominate over
the smaller. This is no obscure confession of faith.
On what patriotic principle,.could the .Fusionist party
be moved to select the moment of impending war
for seeking to sow mistrust and, discord between
France and her principal ally ? This policy can
only have one, of two objects—either to separate

THE FUSION OF THE BOURBONS.

REFUSAL, OF THE DUCHESS OF ORLEANS
TO JOIN THE PARTY.
The following is the translation of a letter ad-
dressed by the Duchess of Orleans to the Duke de
Nemours :

" Eisenach, Dec. 10, 1853.
MY ROYAL AND DEAR BROTHER-IN- L AW, --I
have received your last despatch, by which you
engage me again to enter frankly into the fusion'
which you have concluded by your visit to Frohs-
dorf.
If I enter it at all, I should surely enter it
frankly, and I would by the principle of peace,
which is the basis of the Christian religion, agree
at once with the proposition which you make me
this time with so much energy ; but the same mo-
tives which have hindered my consent when that
question was debated in presence of our august and
very dear mother at Claremont, must again engage
me to persist in my reflections, and thus to retard
my entry, or rather that of my sons, into this
union.

I will again and concisely explain myself.
I well know that you, my dear brother-in-law,
as well as others, will tax me with obstinacy. If
I and the family peace were the only questions here
I should at once consent ; I have not sown discord,
and it would thence be easy to me to co-operate to
the peace. But here the question is that of the
sacred rights of my sons ; they are orphans, they
have only myself for their maintenance, and, in
defending their rights as much as possible, I defend
in them the principle of elective royalty, which
took its birth in the revolution of 1830—a principle
which was the guide of Ferdinand, my poor hus-
bald, whose memory will always be dear to me,
and by the maintenance of which he knew, as well
as by his natural affability, to conciliate the
opinions of the great majority of Frenchmen.
To enter into this union—into this political pact,
is nothing
,else but an acknowledgment, full and
entire of legitimacy ; and whatever respect I may
individually, and even by my birth, profess for
that principle, it is impossible that, consequent
with myself, I can forget the circumstances under
the influence of which your father became King,
and under which also I, a woman, ventured, in
braving the dangers of a. momentary surexcitation,
to present myself in the midst of the Chamber of
Deputies, to claim there the crown which I dreamt
of for my son, and—what do I say V—which I
dream of still for him. Men, people may change ;
impenetrable Providence shows, after the time of
trial, its will and eternal justice at the day marked
in advance on its golden pages. I have faith in
it ; it will repair the wrongs which I have sus-
tained—which we have sustained without any
faults of ours.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian, Correspondenz contains an import-
ant article on Austrian finances. It says that the
Government will not contract any new loan at
present. Other means will be found to cover the
deficit.

First. To reserve the amount of State paper
currency within the fixed maximum of 150 Wl'
lions.

Secondly. The sale of hypothecated assignats on
salt mines, in completion of the fixed 40 millions.
Thirdly. A special credit opened for payments
abroad.

Fourthly. More speedy and extended available-
ness of all moneys in the State coffers.

The article finally confirms the recent great in'
crease in the revenue of the State.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 10th states that
de Manteuffel announced in the last sitting of the
secret committee of the Second Chamber that 0,
treaty has been concluded with the Grand Duchy
of Oldenburg, by which a site on the coast, near
the mouth of the Weser, in the territory of the
Duchy, is conceded to Prussia for the establish-
ment of a port. The same letter states that M. do,
Beust, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saxony, had
returned to Dresden, after having succeeded in ble
negotiations for having Leipsick preserved as a free
port of the Zollverein for several years.
