limits of that station, unless the inferior officer shall
have received some order directly from, and shall
be acting in execution of some order issued by such
superior flag officer.
No chief flag officer quitting any station, except
upon some definite urgent service, and with the in-
tention of returning to the station as soon as such
service is performed, shall share in any prize taken
by our ships or vessels left behind, after he has
passed the limits of the station, or after he has sur-
rendered the command to another flag officer

and others, who were actually on board on the
occasion, accompanied by a separate list, contain-
the names of those belonging to the crew who were
absent on duty or otherwise at the time, specifying
the cause of such absence, each list to contain the
quality of the service of each person, together
with the respective descriptions of men, taken
from the description book of the ship or vessel,
and their several ratings, to be subscribed by the
captain or commanding officer, and three or four
more of the chief officers on board.
And when the list of those actually on board, and
the separate list of persons absent, though belong-
ing to the ship or vessel, shall have been verified,
on examination with the muster-books lodged as
official records, the accountant-general of our navy
shall, upon request, grant to the agent or agents
nominated or appointed by the captors, a certificate
that such lists are correct, or have been corrected,
as occasion may require, in order that distribution
of the prize or other proceeds may be duly made.
And in the event of difficulty arising with respect
to any of the regulations hereby ordered, or if any
case should occur not herein provided for, we are
pleased hereby to authorise the Lord High Admiral,
or our commissioners for executing the office of
Lord High Admiral for the time being, to issue
such directions thereupon as may appear just and
expedient, which directions shall have the same
force and effect as if specially provided for in this
our Royal proclamation.
Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace,
this 29th day of March, in the year of our
Lord 1854, and in the 17th year of our reign.

Any officer on board any of our ships of war at
the time of capturing any prize or prizes, who shall
have more commissions than one, shall be entitled
only to share in such prize or prizes according to
the share allotted to him by the above-mentioned
distribution in respect to his superior commission
or office.
And with reference to other officers it is to be
noted—that a captain, commander, or other com-
manding officer of a ship or vessel, shall be deemed
to be under the command of a flag when he shall
have received some order from, or be acting in the
execution of some order issued by, a flag officer,
whether he be or be not within the limits of the
station of such flag officer ; and in the event of his
being directed to join a flag officer on any station,
he shall be deemed to be under the command of
such flag officer from filo time when he arrives
within the limits of the station, which circumstance
is always to be carefully noted in the log book ;
and it shall be considered that he continues under
the flag officer of such station until he shall have
received some order directly from or be acting in
the execution of some order issued by some other
flag officer, duly authorised, or by the Lord High
Admiral, or our commissioners for executing the
office of Lord High Admiral.
And we hereby direct that the captain, com-
mander, lieutenant commanding, master command-
ing, or any other officer, duly commanding any
ship, sloop, or vessel of war, singly taking any
prize from the enemy, that is to say, the officer
actually in command at the time, shall have one-
eigllth of the remainder, or if there is no flag, one-
eighth of the entire net proceeds, except that if the
single capturing ship be a rated ship, having a com-
mander under the captain, the commander shall
take a portion of the one-eighth part, as if he were
commander of a sloop, according to the proportion
hereinafter set forth ; and if more than one com-
manding officer of the same rank of command
shall be entitled to share as joint captors, the
one-eighth shall be equally divided between
them ; but when captains, commanders, lieutenants,
commanding, and masters commanding respec-
tively our ships and vessels of war, and com-
manders under captains in rated ships shall share
together in whatever variety of combination, the
one-eighth shall be so divided into parts for agradu-
ated apportionment as to providefor each captain re-
ceiving six parts ; each commander of a sloop, or
commander under a captain in a rated ship, three
parts ; and each lieutenant commanding, or master
commanding, or other officer actually commanding
a small vessel of war, two parts ; which we hereby
direct shall be the proportion in which they shall
respectively share ; commodores of the second class
and field officers of marines, or of land forces serving
as marines, doing duty as field officers, above the
rank of major, to share as captains ; and field
officers of marines, or of land forces serving as ma-
rines, and doing duty in the rank of major, to
share as commanders of sloops.
And we further direct, that after provision shall
thus have been made for the flag share (if any)
and for the portion of the commanding officer or
officers, and others, as above specified, the re-
mainder of the net proceeds shall be distributed in
ten classes, so that each officer,' man, and boy,
composing the rest of the complements of our
ships, sloops, and vessels of war, and actually on
board at the time of any. such capture, and every
person present and assisting, shall receive shares
or a share according to his class, as set forth in the

There is nothing out of the way in this story,
either in plot, incident, or character ; but, never-
theless, a great deal of amusement may be derived
from its perusal. The motto is, " Oh, how full of
briars is this working-day world." Gloomy and
dismal as it may appear, there is, however, nothing
sentimental or over-strained in the scenes repre-
sented. On the contrary, a spirit of cheerful re-
signation is inculcated, the duty of perseverance
and self-control in adversity is insisted on, and the
general tenour of the style is that of calm and holy
trust. Walter Crauford, iu his friendless and lonely
state, is shown self-reliant and courageous, and
Janet in her sudden and unlooked-for misfortunes,
appears in a new and better frame of mind. From
the simple and thoughtless girl she merges into the
patient and much-enduring woman. Where she
had shone in her youthful grace and beauty, she
had to toil for her daily bread, and, more, to support
her brother and sister, and, above all, to bear the
unaccustomed burden of responsibility. The ces-
sation of her day's work brought no period to her
labour. When the routine lessons to her pupils
were over, she had to teach herself harder tasks
than ever were learnt at school—to be calm when
not sure where the next day might find them all,
and to keep up her strength, which was over-tasked,
for the needful struggle her spirits must necessarily
encounter. To add to her trials were many other
sources of doubt and anxiety. Lady Rutherford
was a very different kind of character. Sorrow,
which roused Janet, only enervated her. Suspense
and suffering seemed to wear her out, and unfit her
from being of any service to her family and friends,
while the same circumstances in the heroine called
forth all her powers and capabilities to meet and
overcome the emergency. Sir Henry is an estim-
able, though not an over exalted, personage. His
constancy to Janet in trouble was his greatest merit,
but lie did not possess much tact or discrimination
in many instances. Several sketches in the story
seem to represent with most life-like accuracy the
events of a country neighbourhood. The nervous
excitement and agitation of Lady Rutherford at
the period of the trial is natural, and ably depicted.
Walter Cranford is not so much brought before the
reader as some of the others of lesser note, but in
the few details met with we catch a glimpse of a
more than ordinary man. It is evident that his
thoughts and sentiments are cast in a far
higher and purer mould than that in which
is fashioned the Henry Rivingtons or Edward
Wyndhams of the world. Only a lofty and
high-principled mind would have possessed strength
sufficient to enable him to depart at once when
duty pointed out the way. The temptation was
strong, but he felt assured that it was incumbent
on him to leave the place before he committed him-
self by encroaching on another's right, and with
him duty was ever paramount. Again, few only
would have relinquished a life-time appointment,
a situation full of promise and replete with advan-
tages, at the chimerical suggestions of a fancied
good, and the supposed services to be rendered to
another, and she a stranger. In carrying out these
views he left India, and was again cast almost des-
titute on the world. He at last obtained great dis-
tinction, but it was not till after some very arduous
endeavours. Iu the fulfilment of the idea expressed
in the title-page, the authoress has indeed brought
us face to face with many sorrows. Peverty is
seen in its most trying features to the sensitive and
refined; anxiety preys on a highly susceptible mind;
disappointment and doubt weigh down the spirits
that could have braved more open enemies ; and,
finally, the king of terrors makes "void the seats
that none again may fill." Yet we are shown no
troubles that have not an alleviation, no trials that
are not surmountable, and no sufferings that are
not solaced by present good and future hope.
" There is no cloud without a silver lining ;" and
so Janet Mowbray did not always toil, or was not
always compelled to walk on the shady side of life.
After the storm there came a calm, and light fol-
lowed darkness. In this consists the chief merit of
the work ; it is what all life must be, from
the highest to the lowest—a succession and an
interchange. It is, moreover, exemplified that
those who work with energy and constancy will
never find they have laboured in vain, and those
who possess an upright heart will experience a
calm no outward change can affect or destroy.

Whenever any prize shall be taken by any of our
fleets, squadrons, ships, or vessels of war, whilst
acting in conjunction with any fleet, squadron,
ships, or vessels of war belonging to any other power
or powers in alliance with us, our High Court of
Admiralty, or the Vice-Admiralty Court within

tion to such ally or allies a share or shares of the
proceeds of such prize or prizes, proportionate to
the number of officers and men, &c., present and
employed on the part of such ally or allies, as com-
pared with the number of officers and men, &c.,
present and employed on our behalf in such cap-
ture or captures, without reference to their respec-
tive ranks ; and the share or shares so set apart for
such ally or allies shall be transmitted to such per-
sons as may be duly authorised on behalf of such
ally or allies to receive the same.
