NA VAL 121 TELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 3.
Rear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., superintendent
of this dockyard, returned from leave on Wednesday
evening, and rehoisted his flag on board the Victory
this morning at eight o'clock.
The Cyclops, 6, paddle-frigate, having landed a quan-
tity of the machinery for the Cesar, 90, screwship,
sailed this morning on her return to Woolwich for the
remainder. _ _

The Princess Royal, 90, screwship, Captain Lord
Clarence Paget, was placed in the fitting-basin this
morning to have her masts stepped by the new shears.
The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain M'Cleverty,
was paid wages at Spithead this morning.
The Eurydice, 26, was placed in the fitting-basin this
morning, and the Alfred, 50, was removed to make room
for the Princess Royal.
The newly-raised men of the London, 90, Captain
Eden, were paid wages this morning.
It is reported here that the new Royal steam yacht,
to supersede the Victoria and Albert, is to be called
the " Windsor Castle."

alongside the Victory, which capsized her. Stools,
gratings, and life-buoys, were cast over to the rescue,
to which the male department easily clung ; not so an
unfortunate female, who, possibly from fright, lost all
command, and was drifting out with a fierce tide.
At this moment, a gallant youth (a midshipman
belonging to her Majesty's ship Blenheim), being
on board; for the purpose of passing his examination
for lieutenant, and seeing the perilous position of
the female, instantly sprang from the Victory into
the foaming tide, and succeeded in rescuing the
hapless woman from a watery grave. At this period
the "1 ime for his examination had arrived, and, regard-
less of his amphibious appearance, he presented himself
before the astonished superiors and passed. Few there
be woo have not read the celebrated late Marryat's
" Peter Simple," in which the hero saves the life of a
woman under similar circumstances, and who was about
to pass the like examination. The most interesting part
of this almost romantic tale is, that Marryatt's hero was
named " Peter Simple," whilst the present hero is
Frederick Semple. The heroic youth received the
hearty congratulations of all present, and we sincerely
hope that such praiseworthy conduct will receive notice
at the hands of those who have the power, as well as
means, to appreciate the risk of life that this young and
gallant officer ran in saving a fellow-creature.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 3.

Julian W. Slight (1846), from the Amphitrite, 24, on
the Pacific station, to the Princess Royal, 90, screw
steam-ship. at Portsmouth.
Acting Assistant-Surgeon—John Coogan (1853), to
the London, 90, at Portsmouth.
Second Master—Robert Coen (1853), to the St. George,
120, guardship of ordinary, at Devonport.
Midshipmen—George Gregorie, to the Juno, 26, at
Chatham ; Hon. R. Moreton, to the Britannia, 120,
flag-ship of Vice-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 8., on
the Mediterranean station.

Clerk—John N. Wicker (1850), to the Princess Royal.
Richard Dunn, to be measurer at Chatham Dockyard.
Robert Venning, to be inspector of shipwrights at
Chatham Dockyard.
The Rosamond, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, of 280-
horse power, had her steam up on Tuesday and Wednes-
day in the basin to try her engines, and is now nearly
ready for commission.

The Megara, 6, iron screw steam troopship, Com-
mander John 0. Johnson, on the North America and
West Indies station, arrived on the 11th of October, at
St. Thomas, from &.Tortola. She left Barbadoes with
Lieut.-General Wood, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces
in the West Indies, and proceeded to Tobago and Trini-
dad, and back to Barbadoes, where the General remained.
She then went to Antigua to refit, and afterwards to
Tortola. The St. Thomas' Times says, "Finding
everything in a state of quietude in that lately disturbed
colony, the Megwra left soon after for this port, and
will start again this evening (Oct. 12) for Barbadoes. It
is supposed she will then proceed to England, partly
owing to her propeller lifting screw having broken,
which cannot be repaired in this place. It may not be
out of place to state here, during the prevalence of so
many epidemic diseases, that the Megzeraleft England for
the West Indies in the month of April last, and has
since been conveying troops throughout the British
colonies, yet not one single case of fever has occurred on
board up to the present period."

THE LATE BOAT ACCIDENT.—The bodies of the
unfortunate marine belonging to her Majesty's ship
Hogue, and the waterman who was lost with the
marine, were picked up on Tuesday by a waterman of
Devonport. The first named was conveyed to the Royal
Naval Hospital, and the latter to Milbrook.—Plymouth.

THE LATE CAPTAIN JOHN FOOTE.—Captain John
Foot (1827), on the retired list of 1846, who died a few
days since at Plymouth, served afloat 22 years. "He
entered the navy in November, 1797, as first-class
volunteer, on board the Seahorse, of 46 guns and 292
men, Captain Edward James Foote, under whom, off the
island of Pantellaria, in the Mediterranean, he assisted
at the capture, June 27, 1798, after a close action of

eight minutes, a loss to the British of 2 men killed, and
16 wounded, and to the enemy of 18 killed and 37
wounded, of the French frigate La Sensible, of 36 guns

and 300 men. On his return from a voyage to the East
Indies in 1802, Mr. Foote successively joined the Juno,
32, Captain H. Richardson, Spartiate, 74, Captains
Murray and Manley, and Ville de Paris, 110, flag-ship
of the Hon. Wm. Cornwallis. As a lieutenant, which
rank he attained May 10, 1804, he was afterwards ap-
pointed, we find, to the D4sir6e and Resistance frigates,
Captains Whitby and Adam, and latterly as signal
lieutenant to the Royal George, Caledonia, Boyne, and
Royal William, flag-ships, in the Mediterranean and
Channel, of Sir John T. Duckworth, Lord Gambier, Sir
Harry Burrard Neale, and Sir Richard Hussey Bicker-
ton. During that period, while in command on Oct. 25,
1806, of the Hannah gun-boat, Mr. Foote, who had
been detached from the Royal George for the purpose of
affording protection to a convoy passing through the Gut
of Gibraltar, was wounded and taken prisoner by a power-
ful Spanish privateer, after a highly honourable defence,
in which the British lost 8 men killed and 11 wounded.
He was promoted to the command, Sept. 29, 1813, of the
Rapid sloop, on the Home station, whence, on his re-
mova'. Oct. 9, 1814, to the Goldfinch, 10, he sailed for
the West Indies. The latter being paid off in December,
1815, he next joined May 12, 1827, as second captain,
the Britannia, 120, flag-ship of the commander in chief
at Plymouth. He attained post rank Sept. 29, 1827,
and was subsequently appointed to the command, Aug.
18, 1841, of the Madagascar, 44, as senior officer, on
the coast of Africa. Since his return to England, in
1844, he has not been afloat. Captain Foote, in con-
sideration of the wound we have noticed, received at
the time a pecuniary reward from the Patriotic Fund.
Captain Foote has been in ill health for some years.
Two sons survive him, who are captains in the navy.
One was promoted last week.

THE NEW CAB LAW.

The new cab law seems to give almost universal dis-
satisfaction. The vehicles and horses, which we were
promised should improve so much under its administra-
tion that no one having less than five thousand a year
would keep a private carriage, are rather worse than
better. As for the new rate of fares, it displeases both
cabman and customer. It is no practical advantage to
hirers, excepting for distances under one mile and over
three, while in the event of there being more than two
passengers, or luggage, or any stoppages taking place,
in most cases it entails an absolute loss. The regula-
tions, too, are so complicated that to understand them
thoroughly is hardly to be done but at the cost of half a
dozen visits to the police-office. That clause in the act
which relates to hiring by time is a mere absurdity ;
who on earth would engage a cab to move at the rate of
four miles an hour ? And this ridiculous enactment
takes the place of the very best part of the old law, that
which made it optional with the driver to charge for
time or distance ! The official list of fares is absurdly,
incomplete, and the means of redress in the case of over-
charge often quite insufficient. Here is an example,
accurately stated, of—
" The perils that environ"
The man a Hansom will be hirin'.
"At one o'clock in the morning, October Ist, I hired
a cab in the Haymarket, and drove to Queen's Elm ;
gave the driver ls. 6d.—he demanded 25., which (fool
that I was !) I gave him. October 2nd. Applied at
the police-court in Bow-street, where I thought every-
thing could be done ; they told me that the offence
having been committed at Queen's Elm, I must go to
the Westminster office in Rochester-row, a little before
five o'clock. I did so, and on my telling the magistrate
that I got out of the cab on the north side of the Ful-
ham-road, I was then told I must go to Hammersmith.
I did so next day at ten in the morning—was told
the court did not sit there till two. Returned to
town--went to Hammersmith at five. I took out a
summons, but as three clear days were required to serve
it, and I was going to Havre on the 6th, I was obliged
to have it made out for the 17th. My attempt to bring
the offending cabman to justice has cost me already—
time, seven hours—cost of cabs, backwards and forwards,
9s. 6d.—distance travelled, nineteen miles. The day of
judgment will cause a loss of at least three hours more
—an expense in cabs of 4s.—an additional journey of
fully five miles." Pleasant, truly I—and remark that
this happens to a man who knows London well, but who
could not be expected to be acquainted with the divisions
of the different police districts.
We were promised that associations would be formed
to supply a better kind of cab and driver under the new
law. Nothing of the kind has taken place. Why ? For
the same reason that we have no restaurants or cafés—
that our hotels are so ill conducted and managed—that
in this great city we are without a hundred social com-
forts which abound in the smaller ones on the continent.
The reason is, the operation of our law of partnership,
which, precluding what the French call commandites,
makes every man who invests money in a mercantile
concern liable with his whole fortune for the debts con-
tracted by any of the partners in that concern. The law
works thus : I am quite at liberty to lend my money to
any trader at what interest I please, however usurious.
From his necessities I may extort 20, 30, 40 per cent, as
interest ; and should he, perhaps in consequence of my
extortion, become bankrupt, I incur no liability, but am
a creditor to his estate for the amount lent. But if, on
the other hand, I say to the aforesaid trader—" I have
known you long ; I believe you to possess skill, industry,
and honesty, but you have no capital, and without that
you can't get on. I will lend you 5,000/., and in return
you shall give me half the profits of the business, into
which you bring the skill, and I the money, so that
if you do not succeed, you will have wasted the former,
and I the latter." The law says, "No; you shall be
liable in that case for every shilling your confederate may
owe, up to the last farthing you possess." So the law
protects the extortionate money-lender, and punishes, or
rather makes impossible, the existence of the man who,
not choosing to incur the risk of utter ruin to his family,
would yet willingly assist with a fixed sum the respect-
able, though not wealthy, trader. One consequence of
this state of things is that those establishments or busi-
nesses which, to be well managed, require at the same
time considerable capital and a great amount of personal
labour, are wanting in this country. Few men with
10,0001. at their banker's would take upon themselves
the hard work of managing a restaurant or fifty street
cabs ; yet for either speculation that sum would be re-
quired, and most certainly in either there must be a vast
amount of constant, early and late labour, which cannot
or ought not to be delegated. I was in Paris a short
time ago, when I asked Martin, of the Cafe de Paris,
some questions, his answer to which was after this wise.
Martin loquitur: "When I took this house I had no
money, and 400,000 francs were required. There was a
rich man who had known me for many years, and who
believed me to be honest and capable of managing a
great 'restaurant. He advanced the sum, and became
my partner en eommandite, the arrangement being that
he was to receive two-thirds of the net profits, and that
I might pay him off as I could, 100,000 francs at a
time, at a premium of 20 per cent. Everything has gone
well. I worked like a slave, going myself to market
every morning before daylight, and never getting to bed
till after midnight—at first from necessity ; I now con-
tinue to do so from habit. My commanditaire is paid
off, and my children provided for. If I had had, at the
outset, 400,000 francs, I would never have risked it in
the café, or, if I had done so, I should certainly have
lost it, for no man with so much money can work hard
enough to make a place like this pay. It is different
now—l know my business, and as long as lam active
enough to look after it, even revolutions cannot ruin
me." It strikes me that Martin's speech is a text fruit-
ful in application.— The Field.
