The long service medal-gratuity to second-class petty
officers is to be increased from 71. to 101.
Petty officers and seamen who enter for continuous ser-
vice may be permitted to purchase their discharge accord-
ing to the following scale :
Under 5 years' service in man's rating £l2
After 5 and under 7 years t,
After 7 and under 9 years f f 8
After 9 and under 10 years , 5
After 10 and upwards, from the age of 18 froo
Mon who have obtained good-conduct badgos may be

[PRICE SD.

allowed to putchase their discharge at a reduction of 21.
upon the foregoing rates.

Piursrorrs.
All men and boys who enter or re-enter the navy, under
the conditions and for the periods of continuous and gene-
ral service already stated, will be allowed pensions after
20 years service from the age of 18, instead of after 21
years' service from the age of 20, as at present. Their
lordships also reserve to themselves a discretionary power
of awarding pensions of 6d. a day each, after 10 years' ser-
vice, from the age of 18 ; and pensions of Bd. a day each,
after 15 years' service from the same age, to all men now
in, or who may hereafter enter the navy, whenever their
lordships may think proper to do so. All men who may
be thus granted pensions after 10, 15, or 20 years' service
will be held liable, under the 13th clause of the pensions
ngulations (dated the Ist January, 1849), to serve again in
the navy, if required, in the event of an armament or war ;
and when so serving will be allowed their pensions, and
the pay of the ratings they may hold.
The time any continuous serving man may serve after
the age of 18. will count for pension without reference to
the rating held.
Time served in the navy under the existing systemitill
be allowed to count with time under the new system, in
awarding the above pensions.
The circumstance of a man not having completed the
specific term of continuous service under the new system
for which he entered, will not preclude his being granted
a pension after 10 or 15 years' combined service, whenever
their lordships shall think proper to grant pensions after
those periods.

Petty officers who have completed 15 or 20 years' ser-
vice will, when pensioned, be granted double the present
allowance for the time they have served as a petty officer,
provided they shall have entered, and served for one con-
tinuous period of not less than ten years, unless invalided
for wounds or hurts received on duty ; that they shall have
been discharged with the rating of petty officer ; and that
their character in suck rating shall have been "very good."
Under this rule a chief or first-class petty officer would be
granted an allowances, of 1L 10g. 5 (1., gc,,..Tean" (in lieu of
15t Mid.)Tor eiicll lg.-May have served as such ; and a
second-class petty officer 15s. 2 d. a year (in lieu of 7s. 7/d.)
for each year served as such.

Summary.
In order that seamen mayavail themselves of the advan-
tages contingent upon the now terms of service, my lords
desire that these advantages be distinctly explained to
them. They may be briefly recapitulated as follows :

Pay.
Continuous service men will be entitled to the additional
rates of pay shown in the table in the appendix.
Pensions.
Pensions will be granted after 20 years' service from the
age of 18, instead of after 21 years' from the age of 20 ; and
as leave will be allowed when ships are paid off, during
which time and pay will be continued, it follows that sea-
men entering under or about the age of 18, will receive the
same amount of pension for less than 19 years' actual ser-
vice than they would have received under the present sys-
tem for 23 years' actual service.
Pensions may also be awarded after 10 and 15 years' ser-
vice from the age of 18. Thus seamen may be granted
pensions at the ages of 28, 33, and 38 respectively, instead
of 43 or 44, the average age at which long service pensions
are now awarded.

These pensions will range from 9/. 4s. a year to 401. a
year.
..

The allowance for time served as a petty officer will, in
awarding pensions, be doubled to men who enter for ten
years' continuous and general service;
Greater permanency will be given to a man's connection
with the naval service. On returning from leave he will be
entered on board a flag-ship without tho loss of a day's
time or pay, instead of being frequently exposed to incon-
venience and distress from his not being able to enter a
ship fitting out.

GUNNERS, BOATSWAINS, AND CARPENTERS.
ify lords highly appreciate the valuable services ren-
dered by the warrant officers of the navy, and the zeal with
which their important duties are usually performed ; and
as a mark of their approbation of such services they are
pleased to direct that the pay of these officers be increased
as follows—

Sea Pay.
Per day. Per annum.
s. d. £ s. d.
Ist class 6 7
2d class
3d class 4 9
Harbour Service Pay.
Per day. Per annum.
s. d. £ s. d.
Ist class
2d class
3d class

Warrant officers who aro still paid for particular rates
of ships, according to the regulations in force prior to the
order in Council of the 28th April, 1836, will be allowed
the following increased scale of harbour service pay :
Per day. Per annum.
s. d. £. s. d.

let rate
2d rate 5 2
3d rate 4 9
4th rate 4 4
sth rate 3 11
6th rate 3 6

My lords desire it may be distinctly explained to the
warrant officers, individually, that in awarding the above
liberal scale of pay, their lordships have been desirous not
only of adequately rewarding their services, but also of
. .

wine, fo= their widows ;
the warrant officers giving effect to
Lion in this respect.
In the cases of officers of exemplary character and con-
duct, two years' harbour service are, prospectively, to be
considered, in awarding pensions, as equal to ono year's
sea service ; in lieu of the proportion of three to one, as at
present.
As a further mark of their approbation of the services
of this deserving class of officers, my lords are pleased to
direct that warrant officers of exemplary conduct, who
have distinguished themselves by acts of gallantry and dar-
ing in the service, be considered eligible to hold commis-
sions in her Majesty's fleet, in such rank, or position, as
their lordships may deem them, after undergoing an exami-
nation, entitled to receive and competent to fill ; and all
warrant officers, so promoted, will be granted, respectively,
the sum of 1001. as an outfit.

teir lot

Tho additional pay of warrant officers is to commence
on tho Ist of July next, and if those officers who may draw
bills shall, before the receipt of this circular, have drawn
them for the period commencing the Ist of July, tho dif-
ference of pay may be added to the next bills they may
draw.

COAST GUARD.
Having reference to the increased responsibility attach-
ing to the situations of chief and commissioned boatmen.
their lordships are pleased to direct, that men appointed
from the naval service shall, when pensioned, be allowed
to count service in the former capacity as Ist class, and in
the latter as 2nd class petty officers time upon the present
scale. Coast-guard men from the naval service, when
granted gratuities instead of pensions, are to be placed on
the same footing as seamen.
Time in the coast-guard, after a combined service of 21
years, is to count towards higher rates of pension, as if
served in the Royal navy; time served as chief and com-
missioned boatmen being subject to the rule laid down in
the foregoing clause.
Ten years' service in the navy, from the age of 18 (in-
stead of 7, in man's rating as now regulated), is to be the
required term of service, previous to admission into the
coast guard ; appointments thereto are to be open to o rdi-
nary seamen, of thoroughly good conduct.
Coast-guard men are to be permitted to wear tho good
conduct badges, or other distinctive marks they have ob-
tained in the Royal navy ; but are not to be entitled to
the additional pay.
The several distinctive badges referred to in the preced-
ing regulations will be forwarded to the outports, and will
bo as follows, embroidered in gold
Chief Petty Officers :—
{ Crown and anchor, encircled
with laurel.
Ist Class Petty Officers ....Crown and cross anchor.
2d Class Petty Officers Crown and anchor.
Leading Seamen The anchor.
The regulations are to take effect on and after the Ist of
July next, except as regards men entering for continuous
service on foreign stations, where they are to commence so
soon as they are understood by the men, and they volun-
teer for continuous service ; and all existing regulations
not cancelled or modified by those now promulgated are to
remain in force.
Great care is to bo taken that no men of indifferent
character are received for continuous service, or who are
constitutionally or otherwise unfit, and in the rating of
men strict attention is to be given to their qualifications.
In every case in which a man enters for continuous ser-
vice under the foregoing regulations the form No. 95, ac-
companying the circular [which we published in The Sun of
Saturday], is to be filled up and forwarded, with as little
delay as possible, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, for
the Accountant-General of the Navy.
By command of their Lordships,
R. OSBORNE.

ACCIDENT IN HYDE-PAM—We regret to announce
that avery painful accident occurred to M. de Berg, First
Secretary to the Russian Legation, while riding in Hyde-
park on Thursday afternoon. M. de Berg was accom-
panied by Miss Hatton, one of the daughters of Admiral
Hatton, and while passing down the ride he met a gen-
tleman on horseback, who pulled up to speak to him.
M. de Berg checked his horse, and the two gentlemen
remained in conversation for a few moments. At this
instant a carriage drove past quickly, and the horse
upon which M. de Berg's friend rode being alarmed,
struck out sharply with his hind legs ; the animal's near
hoof caught M. de Berg's leg just below the knee, and
inflicted a deep gash in the flesh. Having placed the
lady who was riding with him under charge of a friend,
M. de Berg, withoat dismounting, proceeded slowly to
St. George's Hospital, into which institution be was
carried, and his leg immediately dressed. In the course
of an hour M. de Berg was conveyed home in a cab, and
lie has since remained under the care of the hospital
surgeon. We believe the injury to be succumbing to
medical skill, but it will be some days before M. de
Berg can leave his room.
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, Jnne 27.—A line of steamers
is about to be established between Southampton and
Rotterdam, which will be commenced in about six weeks
by the screw steamer Cormorant, of 1,000 tons. The
vessels are intended to run weekly, the line being under-
taken by the Cork Steam Packet Company, Mew, Bal-
four, Laming, and Owen, of this place, having been
appointed agents. The Cork Company has the present
Liverpool and Rotterdam line. The object of the newly
projected service to and from Southampton and Rotter-
dam is to convey Dutch and German produce and ma-
nufactures, together with emigrants and general pas-
sengers, direct to Southampton, to meet the different
lines of steamers taking their:departure hence to various
parts of the world. It is also intended to bring cattle

and conferring a great benefit on the general trade of
the port,

The first great movement of the camp to,
terday. The whole division, consisting o'
Brigade, the Royal Artillery, the Brigad,
and the regiments of the line, paraded in 1
respective quarters at nine o'clock, and
afterwards marched off, at a given signal fro)
tenant-General, to Chobham-ridges, an ele:
moor-land running across the county of Surrey, about
four miles distant from the encampment.
With so much secrecy was the order for marching
observed, that the whole encampment was clear of troops
(with the exception of those necessarily remaining on
duty) before the serjeants and corporals on relief guard
at head-quarters were aware of the intended departure
of their comrades.

The spot destined for the rendezvous of the troops
is admirably adapted for the purpose. A gently un-
dulating plain, of sonic 130 acres in extent, is entered
by three several routes, all stretching towards the
camp and terminated by a high ridge of hills, known
as Choblia.m-ridges, the one of the greatest elevation
being. familiarly called in the neighbourhood "High
Curley." Towards this point, as soon as the order for
marching was given, the several brigades moved. The
Generals having pressed into their service some stout
country boors to pilot the route through the intricate by-
ways of the neighbourhood, there was little difficulty in
ascertaining the correct road. The several brigades took,
as far as possible, different routes. The Lieutenant-
General and his staff, with the Royal Artillery, the
17th Lancers, the Carabineers, and the Rifles, pro-
ceeded by the 13agshot road as far as the village of
Windlesham, and then turned off on to the moor-land,
which they entered about the same time with the
other regiments of cavalry, who had taken the
road by Burrow-hill and Hook•green. The brigade of
Guards marched by Chobham-place, and gained their
destined position about 11 o'clock. The regiments
of the line followed in their wake, and the movements
of all the troops were so arranged that those few spec-
tators who, having had previous intimation of the
Lieutenant-General's intentions, had reached "High
Curley" before the military, were gratified by the spec-
tacle of an army of 8,000 men all entering by different
'routes upon one open plain at the same moment, and
directly in face of an opposing force.
Lord Seaton's idea on this occasion was to make
" CU:lee- the'

lei's, a fez

caipanyirnie 13yal 'Sappers, some
Guards, and a troop of Carabineers.
The signal for attack having been sounded, the Rifle
Brigade threw out skirmishers, and the brigade of
Guards advanced in columns of companies. They were
met by a sharp fire from the supposed enemy, and, after
ascending the hill a few hundred yards, halted while the
batteries of the Foot Artillery opened upon the left
flank of the imaginary foe. Sheltered by the guns, the
Guards pressed onwards, and succeeded in making an
entry into the enemy's position. At the same moment
a splendid charge of cavalry was made on the right
flank of the supposed foe. The manner in which this
evolution was effected excited great admiration. The
overbearing force of the Household Brigade and the
dashing smartness of the Light Dragoons were shown
remarkable advantage. The chargehaving been made, th
troops retired under shelter of the guns of the Horse Artil-
lery, which now in turn opened upon the enemy. The
main body of the army now advanced upon the heights,
first firing by companies and then charging in line. ,The
enemy was now supposed to be repulsed, and the posi-
tion they had occupied was taken by the besieging
troops.

Tile next movement, and perhaps the most interesting
to the spectator, was the retirement of the investing
army. The cavalry, after clearing the ground of strag-
glers, formed in position upon the right of the be-
sieging army and retired. The Horse Artillery now
again came into action, and kept up a smart fire while
the troops retreated. At this juncture the two regi-
ments of Highlanders formed in line and took up a
position in the rear, to cover the retreat of the
infantry in advance, who retired on right of com-
panies. The Highlanders then threw their left, sections
of companies back, in order to allow the retiring troops
to march through their lines. They then formed line in
succession, and retired, the whole division being covered
by rifle skirmishers, and flanked by the fire of bthe artil-
lery on the right. This movement was beautifully exe-
cuted. The precision of the troops and the readiness
with which they answered to the bugle call was really
something wonderful. The evolutions lasted nearly three
hours, and at their close each regiment formed up in
sections of fours, and marched homewards to the scamp,
the routes being varied, so that no brigade returned by
the road it had arrived.
In consequence of the early hour at which the troops
left the camp, they were accompanied by very few per-
sons. The straggling hamlets of the district sent forth
a few wondering peasants, but, comparatively speaking,
the number of spectators at the review was very incon-
siderable. This fact, together with the wild and lonely
character of the spot, gave to the operations an air of
reality which has not attended any of the previous midi-
tary exhibitions in connection with the camp.
Among the noblemen and gentlemen present we re-
marked the Earl of Cardigan, who is a constant at-
tendant at the camp, the Earl of Listowel, Mr.
Robarts, &c.

The troops returned to the camp about half-past
three o'clock, and before four the detachments were
discussing- with keen appetite the ordinary rations of a
soldier's dinner.

It is understood there will be no great display at the
camp to-day. The Wellington encampment, at

CRICKET.

KENT V. ENGLAND.

This great annual contest was commenced at Lords'
yesterday, when, notwithstanding the unpropitious wea-
ther, there was a large attendance of spectators.
England, having won the toss, went to the wicket in
the first instance, commencing with Mr. Nicholson and
Dean. The total of this innings was 113. This was not
a very largo number, and some of the betting men who
had been backing England began to consider, therefore,
whether it might not be wise to get off a little, We did
not, however, hear, of any counter-bets being made.
But we were told at the close of the day that some of
those who were heaviest upon England felt themselv
somewhat more comfortable as to the state of their book
when they had compared the respective scores of the con
tending parties. Kent in due time went to the wicket
and, what with their difficulty in playing the slow bow
ing, and the running out, their total, when "time" w
called, with one wicket to go down only, was but 82.
the total score at this period stood as follows :

proceedings, and have succeeded in obtaining a
more numerous and attentive audience than the
earlier speakers ; and as the result becomes more
doubtful, a deeper interest is excited. Mr. COB-
DEN last night made a vigorous and most effective
attack on the measure, bringing forward a num-
ber of facts in support of his views, and reasoning
thereon with a degree of power and energy
that reminded us of his most successful
efforts during the Anti-corn-law agitation.
'The Honourable Gentleman is indeed a dangerous
opponent to a proposition intrinsically bad ; and
more especially so if it in any degree savours of a
job, sacrificing the welfare and happiness of the
many to the selfish objects of a clique or party.
He has, we rejoice to find, entered heart and soul
into the Indian question, and we are convinced
that he will not relinquish his exertions until he
has brought the issue to an auspicious termina-
tion. We care not what may be his object ;
whether he be solely influenced by a high-minded
philanthropy, looking for his reward solely to the in-
creased comforts, the additional happiness to be con-
ferred upon so numerous a proportion of the human
family, or whether, as his enemies allege, his only
desire is to increase the cultivation of Cotton in
Hindostan, and thus to enable the men of Man-
chester to obtain their staple commodity some
cents. per pound cheaper. Self-interest is not the
least powerful motive that actuates the human
mind, and we cannot forget that the same charge
was preferred against the Hon. Gentleman and his
coadjutors during the struggle for untaxed bread ;
but the sneer did not render their efforts less zea-
lous or efficient, nor did it retard their triumph,
or render its consequences less beneficial to the
community at large.
Mr. COBDEN was peculiarly qualified to form a
sound and accurate opinion on the subject under
discussion. He had served on the Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the Government of the
Anglo-Indian Empire, and could, therefore, speak
authoritatively both as to its Constitution and the
proceedings that had taken place before it, and his
opinion was very briefly, but very decisively, ex-
pressed. He declared that "its conduct was not
such as to entitle it to be cited as an authority,
or to inspire any great degree of confidence."
The inquiry had been divided into eight heads,
and on one only—that as to the machinery by
which the Government of India was carried on—was
there any expression of opinion. Eighteen witnesses
had been examined ; "every one of whom had been
officially in the employment of the Court of Direc-
tors or of the Board of Control, or had been in some
manner connected with one or other of those ser-
vices." It was upon such very disinterested testi-
mony that the Committee came to the qualified
resolutions upon which such stress has been laid,
and from which two of its members unequivocally
dissented. Under such circumstances, we can
,scarcely feel surprised at the contemptuous disre-
gard for their labours exhibited by the President
of the India Board and his colleagues. Much
doubt could not have been entertained as
to the nature of the final report by parties
who took care to exclude independent testimony,
and who could only give a hearing to one side of
the case. Sir CHARLES Woon—who had long
since expressed his views as to the proceedings of
such Committees, declaring that no Minister
should consent to a reference unless certain of
the constitution of the Committee, and of the
report that would eventually be made even before
its appointment—was therefore justified in total*
disregarding the proceedings, or at least only in
making use of. them so far as suited his own pur-
poses ; and Mr. COBDEN only evinced a due re-
gard for his own character in refusing to
devote his time and labour to an investigation
where it must have been manifest to every one
that " the whole case was prejudged, and that a
verdict had been brought in without going through
the preliminaries of a trial."
But limited and partial as was the inquiry, it
yet threw some light on that extraordinary myth,
the Government of India, but which, like the
flashing of a torch at the entrance of a deep
cavern, only serves to render the prevailing ob-
scurity more profound. The honourable Gentle-
man denies that there is a double Government,
and asserts that, " under the Charter Act, with
the exception of the disposal of patronage, there
was no power granted to thorn by the Statute."
Ho adduces many cogent reasons in support of this
opinion, and, among others, refers to the evidence
of Lord HARDINGE, who styled the Government "a
mystery," citing the case of au officer of high rank,
who, complaining to the Secret Committee of the
Directors, discovered that that all powerful
and mysterious body meant neither more nor less
than the President of the Board of Control.
All this complicated and worse than useless
machinery is to be maintained simply for the
sake of vesting the patronage of the Indian
empire, or rather the selection of the objects
among whom that patronage is to be distributed,
in twenty-four gentlemen selected by the
holders of stock to the value of six mil-
lions sterling, who, not satisfied with obtaining
ten and a-half per cent, per annum, granted
for twenty years, and then only redeemable on
payment of 2001. for every 1001. originally in-
vested, are desirous of obtaining valuable appoint-
ments in return for their disinterested suffrages in
the election of the Directors, whom the Honour-
able Gentleman has appropriately termed the
" JOHN DOE" and " RICHARD ROE" of India.
Surely the holders of South Sea Stock, of 3 per
Cents. Reduced, and of Consols, may well com-
plain of the undue favouritism, and wonder why
they themselves are debarred from a share in
these comfortable pickings that have hitherto
been monopolised by the East India proprietors.
But, cui bono, what is the object or utility of
maintaining this gigantic fiction, and creating the
strong and reasonable impression in the minds of
the inhabitants that they have been " farmed
out" to contractors for the purpose of having
the largest amount practicable extracted from their
thews and sinews. It cannot be merely to get
rid of the patronage, to transfer those desirable
and lucrative appointments from the Crown to
other hands. Ministers, more especially Whig
Ministers, have seldom been so very sensitive on
such a point, unless strangely calumniated ;
they have been more inclined to make
places for anxious friends than of refusing
to distribute situations to which they had legi-
timate rights of nomination. We must en-
deavour, then, to discover the mystery in some
other quarter. May it not be for the preserva-
tion of that mystery so justly complained of, and
which enables them to shift the responsibility of
impolitic acts from person to person, until none
can be called to account ? Inconvenient discus-
sions aro thus diverted, while the concealed
Mogul 'pulls the wires and sets the various puppets
in motion. This may be very desirable for Sir
CHARLES WooD, but it will not receive tine sanction
of Great Britain or of Hindostan.

LONDON, TUESDAY, .TUNE 28, 1853.

Can Lord join; RUSSELL spare but a crumb
from his Liberal Table to the advocates of Free
Voting i Liverpool has just fallen from it. Can
he permit Lord DUDLEY STUART to pick it up ?
Can he allow that the favourite scheme of a BEN-
THAN and a GROTE may really be worth a fair
trial or two ? Does he conceive it just possible
that a first-rate philosopher, a first-rate historian,
a fellow Cabinet Minister, some half-score of his
brother Ministers, and a declared majority of his
own Liberal supporters, may be for once right ?
Can a Whig leader be fallible in just one single
case ? If so, in compassion to the tens of
thousands of Reformers who hunger and thirst
for the Ballot, let his Lordship suppose that lie
may be the subject of human infirmity in his
present opposition to it, and let him concede one
trial of its merits in this large and largely-
bribed constituency. Ile may allege that
an Act of Parliament will be necessary.
A very short one would do. But where
there is a will, there is a way. Why, even a jour-
nal notoriously favourable to his Lordship and
the present Government, has painted strongly the
advantage of giving the rival schemes of the
Bdinbwrgh Review and the Ballot, a trial at bye
elections before the Grand Year of Reform, 1854.
There is literally not a single argument ago Lord D. STUART'S motion to
ke the
of next po i
ll atn
t Liverpool by the Ballot butt hat obstinacy.
But one trial is asked for ; asked for when the
need of something of the kind is proved; asked for
in the name of the first men of the age, and the
majority of the Liberals ; asked for as a means
of testing in a few fairl
a plan deemed hi y chosen instances
ghly valuable by a most
important part of the community, who are
content to abide the issue of a fair trial. What
argument but dogged obstinacy is there
to oppose
this ? If the experiment fail, the opponents will
be the gainers ; their theoretical objections will
be corroborated by facts. If it succeed, they,
professing to be candid legislators, will be
thankful for the lesson. There can be no
danger of. creating bad precedents ; the cession can can only become a precedent by its suc-
cess. No arguments for the Ballot itself are
needed in the present case. It cannot be denied
that a few trials before 1854 are possible ; that it
is easy to make them. It cannot be denied that
the number and characters of the parties asking
for the trial are an ample prirnj facie case in its
favour. What, then, need stand in the way of the
experiment ? It cannot be pretended that, like
the repeal of the Corn Laws or of Catholic Disa-
bilities, it is impossible to be tested locally, or
to be stayed at once if unsuccessful. We do,
therefore, put it to the Leader of the House of
Commons whether he cannot unbend or relax for
once ; and as he tolerates one advocate of the
Ballot even in the Cabinet, whether he cannot
also
.tolerate the Ballot itself in one of the long
list of boroughs whose elections have been proved
not to be immaculate ? One election by Ballot is
no unfair proportion to one Cabinet Minister, with
fair accompaniment too of ex-Cabinet Ministers. It
is quite plain that the two thousand old freemen at
Liverpool will never become SIDNEYS and
Eraaorrs, as Lord JOHN hopes, on the present
plan ; it is also equally plain that they value
their " trusteeship" at five shillings per head and
a gallon or two of beer. Will Lord JOHN pre-
t
fortheir public than they do for their shillings and
eer?
worth r he deny that voting, so that
it were l r will
oilundo obe 's while to give them money
and beer, lvt
tutional discipline for a better moral and consti-
those temptations ?
Ifthem than to be
plied with
case could avail to the reasonableness of a
Part but a touch of genial
sympathy with. his supporters to the
the Whigs," it would do more to prolong the of
hours of the party than even the g • last
e genius of
MACAVLAY itself. It will be,
able surprise, if, on this question, we are not
again met with technicalities and sneers.

A deputation, consisting of Messrs. Benjamin Bower,
James Roberts, J. Causton, George Greves, Wm. Bons-
field, and 11. S. Gibbs, waited yesterday (Monday) on
Baron Rothschild, to present a resolution, agreed to at
a meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Billingsgate,
held at Fellowship-hall on the 23d inst. The deputation
was courteously received, and after a short conversation
the Baron gave his written answer, to.the purport that,
having put his cause into the hands of the Liberal party,
and having been advised by them to hold his seat, he
could not comply with the wish expressed in the resolu-
tion of the Billingsgate ward meeting.
THE NEW BARRACKS AT DEVONPORT.—The extensive
contracts for the building of the new barracks at Devon-
port, have been taken by Mr. Thomas Clift, of Ply-
mouth, the contractor for the new works in progress at
the dockyard, and for the improvement of Sutton Har-
bour, Plymouth, and an extensive builder. The con-
tracts now entered into involve an alteration in the
approach to Devonport from Plymouth, and an exten- '
sion of the Mountwise-parade, as well as the new
barracks.

Notwithstanding the distinct and positive pro-
mise of Lord 'Max RUSSELL, to the effect that
measures would be taken to carry the recommen-
dations of the Common Law Commissioners into
practical operation without delay, we fear that
there is but little prospect of accomplishing an
object in every respect so desirable during the pre-
sent Session. We have now arrived at the end
of June, a month only remains for the work of
legislation, and there are so many matters having
the priority of claim—and which, indeed, cannot
be postponed—standing over, that we are obliged,
reluctantly, to relinquish the hope of making I
much further progress in the path of legal re-
forms before the prorogation. One step has,
however, been taken in accordance with the re-
commendation of the Commissioners. The Evi-
dence Amendment Bill was read a second time on
Friday, without opposition, and although it only
applies to a small portion of the matters refbrred
to in the Report of the Learned Gentlemen, it will
still be hailed as a valuable improvement in the
administration of the Law.
It is possible that the delay, in some respects
so much to be regretted, may eventually be turned
togood purpose. The Commissioners will have
e opportunity of observing the working ox' Mr.

ITHE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, June 27.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany's ship Iberia, Captain John Bowen, took her de-
partwe this afternoon with the usual mails for Vigo,
Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, and a good num-
ber of passengers. The next mails from the same ports
will be brought by the Tagus, Captain Joy, due at South-
ampton on the 4th proximo. The screw steam-ship Cadiz,
Captian E. Cooper, sailed at 2 p.m. to-day for Gibraltar,
:Malta, and Constantinople, taking out specie value
2,0001. and a fair cargo. The next steamer for the Le-
vant will be the City of London, Captain Cargill, due at
Southampton on the 6th of July. The Bengal, Captain
A. Kellock, is appointed to take out the East India,
China, Mediterranean, and Australian mails of the 4th
of July. The Rajah, new screw steam collier, belonging '
to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, was tried at
the measured mile, in Stokes Bay, on Saturday, with
Griffiths' patent screw propeller, which was found to
give an increase of speed of about a quarter knot over 1
the old screw, with six evolutions less of the engines.

The debate on India is beginning to attract
some degree of notice. The contest is becoming

nessing its practical results in Ireland. It is in-
deed an important alteration, and one requiring
much calm and attentive consideration before it can
be finally sanctioned ; and we make every allow-
ance for the natural hesitation, the excusable re-
luctance, of the Commissioners to propose a change
so extensive, and involving a principle so objec-
tionable, as the multiplication of Judicial Oaths.
But we believe that advantages would attend the
practice that would far more than counterbalance
the evil above referred to. It requires some very
decisive measures to check the improper and de-
moralising habit of putting forward unfounded
claims, or raising unconscientious defences. Such
proceedings are now of every-day occurrence, with-
out any censure being inflicted on the party,' who
coolly and deliberately places upon the file of the
Court that which he knows to be false. The gross im-
propriety of such conduct must be manifest; but
it excites neither surprise nor comment, even on
the part of men of unimpeachable character. When
such indifference is exhibited, there is clearly
something radically wrong in the system ;' and
we must endeavour to ascertain the causes that
have led to a state of public opinion so vitiated,
and so much to be lamented.
In the first place, then, we find that the parties
themselves have not hitherto been sufficiently
identified with the pleadings, which were those
rather of the lawyers than of th© litigants. It
was the business of the special pleader concerned
to raise every issue that could embarrass his
ponents. Traps were laid for rivals, and suits
were too frequently decided on technical and
formal grounds, totally apart from, and
generally opposed to, the substantial merits.
What in ordinary life would be regarded
as fraud and chicanery which would deprive the
perpetrator of the respect of every honest man,
were looked upon not merely with indulgence, but
admiration, as a brilliant coup, rather than an in-
famous deception. The party taking advantage
of the quibble was excused, because forsooth,
though he reaped the profit, "the matter was.alto-
gether out of his hands," "he could not in any
degree interfere with his lawyer," and on such
flimsy pretexts, the disreputable practice grew and
flourished until it attained its present alarming,
magnitude, there appearing to be a total disre-
gard of all:the obligations of truth and justice
so fax as the pleadings are concerned.
Under such circumstances, the remedy must be
proportioned to the disease ; we must strike at the
very root of the evil if we hope to effect any de-
cided amelioration. This can only be accom-
plished by removing the exciting cause ; we must
make the party directly responsible for the truth
and accuracy of his pleadings, not as to the legal
effect ; that must, of course, still depend on the
professional adviser. It would be unreasonable to
require a person ignorant of law to pledge his oath
as to the legal sufficiency of his claim or defence.
But he should be enabled to verify the facts, at
least, to the best of his belief. If he has no per-
sonal knowledge on the subject, and if any hard-
ship could possibly arise in requiring such corro-
borative evidence, it might be obviated by allowing
a dispensing power to the Court, or a Judge in
Chambers, to allow the pleading to be filed with-
out oath or signature (as is sometimes the case in
Chancery by consent of the parties), or to have it
verified by a third party, competent to speak po-
sitively as to the facts.

We must remember that the proposition, if
carried into execution, would only anticipate the
stage of the proceedings at which the parties might
be caned upon to pledge their oaths as to the ac-
_

curacy of their statements. They are now not only
competent, but compellable, to give evidence.
They may be required to put themselves out of
Court by their own statements. Why, then, should
they not give some proof in the earlier part of
the proceedings of the justice of their cases, the
effect whereof would be to prevent the accumula-
tion of costs which the innocent party could never
recover, and the putting forward either of un-
conscientious demands or eqUally unconscientious
defences ?

-MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 650 were taken
for export and ott speculation. The market closed
firmly at previous rates. The sales comprised
6,500 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham, at
cid. to 81d.; 40 Bahia, at 6d. to 64d.; 600 Egyp-
tian, at bid. to 9d.; and 500 Surat, at 31d. to
sd. per lb. Railway Shares were very inactive.
The Adelaide has arrived from Melbourne with
accounts of March 14, but they add nothing to our
previous advices.

One excellent suggestion has been made on the
subject, which appears well worthy of considera-
tion, as if deemed adequate to the exigency, it
would remove the grave objection as to the mul-
tiplying and rendering too common the appeals to
the DEITY, which constitutes the chief objection
to the practice. That is to say, that the pleading
should be filed as at present ; but that the oppo-
site party, before answering or taking the next
step, should be at liberty to require the verifica-
tion of the preceding pleading, if he thought
proper under such penalty as to costs, if he did
so wantonly or improperly, as the Court might
direct. There would be no great difficulty in
judging from the result whether the demand for
verification was justified or not, so as to enable
the Judge to decide on an application for costs
in consequence of such a demand.

At the meeting held this morning of the Bank
of South Australia Proprietors, the Directors'
Report was read, and states :

" The Bank has participated in the prosperity of the
colony and the success of the settlers, which it has made
every exertion to promote, consistently with sound prin-
ciples and the encouragement of useful enterprises.
The annual accounts from the colony have been care-
, fully prepared, and the most rigid scrutiny has been
made of all the assets. Every bad and doubtful debt
has been written off, and the court are assured by Mr.
treorge Tinline, the acting manager, in a valuable report
he has made upon the company's position in the colony
at the termination of the year, that the utmost caution
has been exercised in continuing on the books only
those assets which are strictly available, and that
the bank was then in a healthy and improving con
dition.
" The general accounts for the year which ended 30t1
'May last, have been subjected to an equally carefu
examination, and the result of the profit and loss ac
count to that date is as follows :

to 3,895/. will increase that fund t 014,4201. 6s. 9d.
"The net profits available for the proprietors will
thus be 85,055/. 2s. 9d., and the court have to recom-
mend the usual dividend of 6 per cent, per annum, and
a further amount on account of profits of 30s. per share,
equalling together 12 per cent. for the year on the
capital received, which, if confirmed by you, will be
payable (clear of income tax) on the 15th July and 15th
January int.
te According to the intimation expressed in the last
report, Edward Stephens, Esq., the company's colonial
manager, returned to Adelaide! by the Charlotte Jane,
which left Plymouth on 26th January last, and the
eourt trust he has now been some weeks in the colony,
and that the company are again deriving the full advan-
tages of his personal superintendence of the bank's
affairs. During his absence George Tinline, Esq., the
acting manager, has continued to give his zealous atten-
tion to the duties of his office, and his eminent services
connected with the operations of the Bullion Act, entitle
him to the thanks of the proprietors. He has been as-
sisted by the local directors, who also deserve the favour-
able consideration of this meeting.
"The measures taken, with the sanction of the Lords
of her Majesty's Treasury, to increase the company's
capital from 200,0001. to 300,000/, were promptly re-
sponded to by the proprietors. The amount of 50,0001.
having been received on lst September last, from the
shares wholly paid up, and the deposit on those payable
by instalments of 2/. 10s., which was all the directors
were authorised to receive forthwith, the Court were
enabled, in consequence of many of the proprietors
not having availed themselves at the proper time of
the allotments offered them, to exercise their discre-
tion in not issuing the whole of the 4,000 shares. It
is proposed to offer the remaining 981 shares to those
proprietors who may be disposed to increase their
stake in the company, at a premium of 221. per share,
and these shares will have to be wholly paid up on Ist
September next, when they will participate in the cur-
rent dividend. The directors recommend that the pre-
miums obtained be carried to the credit of the Reserved
Fund, which will then be in an advantageous position,
and highly conducive to the future interests of the Com-
pany-

NEWCASTLE RACES.

CORONATION DAY.—To-day is the fifteenth anniversary
of the coronation of her Most Gracious Majesty. The
morning was ushered in with merry peals rung from the
metropolitan churches. The royal standard floated from
the various Government offices, and the shipping in the
pool displayed their national ensigns on the occasion.
At one o'clock the usual royal salute was fired from the
Park and Tower guns.
STORM AT PORTSMOUTH AND Loss OF LIFE. —The
weather yesterday blew a heavy gale, and many casual-
ties were apprehended. A shore boat, in which were
Lieut. Lambert and Mr. Muirhead, surgeon, of the
Edinburgh, foundered, and they with two watermen
were lost. Whilst striking lower yards on board her
Majesty's ship Amphion, a hook fell down and struck
Captain Patey, fracturing his skull. He is not ex-
pected to live. Two men were similarly wounded.
SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH ACROSS THE SOLENT.—The
project of having a submarine telegraph across the
Solent, for the purpose of extending a telegraphic com-
munication with the Queen's marine residence in the Isle
of Wight, has been abandoned from pecuniary causes.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT KING'S COLLEGE.—
Yesterday the annual distribution of prizes to successful
students in literature and the applied sciences took place
in the-hall of King's College, in the presence of the
King of Hanover and a large number of spectators. The
Archbishomf Canterbury, as visitor of the institution,
presided. The King, whose lamentable privation ex-
cluded him from the number of spectators, received ex-
planations of the various incidents as they occurred
from Mrs. Jelf, the wife of the learned and reverend
principal, who, at his Majesty's request, took her seat
by his side for that purpose. At the close of the pro-
ceeding the King expressed his thanks for the good
feeling which had been expressed towards his family and
country, addressed some encouraging words to the
students, and then proposed and led off three hearty
cheers for the Archbishop of Canterbury, and an in-
definite number for the Queen. Previous to leaving
the hall his Majesty desired that all the prize-holders
might be presented to him, which was accordingly done
by the reverend principal of the college. His Majesty
shook hands with them, asked them a few questions,
and said that ho should be happy to meet them if their
pursuits ever took them to his dominions.

"The court have much confidence in the continued
development of the resources of South Australia, and the
rapid advancement of the other Australian Colonies ;
and by continued care and attention to your interests,
anticipate with pleasure meeting you at a future period
with statements of a satisfactory character."
