The allotments of seamen who enter for continuous and
general service will remain in force during the period of
their engagements, unless cancelled by themselves under
existing regulations. All seamen riggers joining ships are
now to be allowed to make allotments on the day of entry.
Exchange of Seamen.
In carrying out the arrangements of the naval service
under the new system of continuous service the commanders
in chief at home and abroad will afford facilities for the
exchange of seamen to different ships whenever the public
service will admit, but in all cases the sanction of captains
in command must be obtained, and such exchange will be
permitted only to men of good character.
.Extension of Term of Service.
The term of service for which a seaman shall hereafter
enter may, as at present, be temporarily extended, in the
event of any emergency, or necessity, which, in the opinion
of the Lords of the Admiralty, or a commander-in-chief
on a foreign station, may render such temporary extension
requisite ; and any man so detained beyond the term of
his agreement is to be entitled to 2d. a day, in addition to
the pay of the rating which he may hold.

been entered on the books of a sea-going or ther ship as
part of complement.

service, who may be sent to hospital or sick quarters at

Summer Lounging Coats, fine, flexible, and light in texture, and
loose and airy in design and make, are manufactured by L. RYAN,
in a style which must command complete satisfaction.
The Summer Trousers of L. Hyant, in a manifold variety of plain
and fancy fabrics, and a novel and rich assortment of seasonable
Vests, aro also worthy .f prominent reference, as being peculiarly
adapted to the present season.
The Dress Coats and Frock Coats 'do the Proprietor's Establish-

purchasers.
JUVENILE and YOUTHS' CLOTHING

forms a principal department of L. Hyam's business.
The stock now on sale is remarkable for its suitability to the pre-
sent season, and consists of many novelties never before brought
out.
The beauty of the various garments, and the very economical
prices at which they are supplied should induce all parents and
guardians to make a call of purchase at the Proprietor's.
OBSERVE !—L. lIYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,

RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 27.
STOCK EXCHANGE.--But a very small business has been
done in the market for railway stock to-day, the market
has been very dull, and the quotations range generally at
the currency of Saturday last, which partly arises from
the fact that the dealers are preparing for the settlement
of the account, which takes place on Wednesday next :
Caledonian, 34i ; Eastern Counties, 13 ; London and North
Western, 1151; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 30;
South Eastern and Dover, 21g ; York and North Midland,
291 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 101. Shares, 10/.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 27.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The market is somewhat weaker,
but there has been rather more business. Birkenhead,
Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction (Chester and Birken-
head), 19i ; Caledonian, 344- ; Eastern Counties, 13 ; Lon-
don and North Western, 115, ; ditto New One-Eighths,

BIRMINGHAM, JUNE 27.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—There was no business transacted
in the railway share market on 'Change to-day, and little
alteration in Saturday's quotations. The market was alto-
gether extremely inanimate.

LAIINCH.—On Saturday a fine ship of 900 tons regis-
ter was launched at the dockyard of Mr. Pitcher.
Northfleet, and was christened the "Northfleet," in
compliment to the place of her construction. She was
built for the Messrs. Dent, of London, for the East
India trade. In this dockyard several steamers of the
first class have been built within the last 10 years for
the West India Steam•packet Company, and there are
now on the stocks in the yard two steamers of still
larger dimensions for the same company. There was a
great concourse of people collected in the yard and on i
the adjoining heights to witness the launch of the North-
fleet, which was perfect in its way.

REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.—The Hon. H. T.
Liddell, who has been announced as the co-Conservative
candidate with Mr. T. B. Horsfall, addressed a nume-
rous body of the electors from one of the windows over-
looking the Exchange yesterday. Alluding to the un-
seating of Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, he expressed
a hope that the jurisdiction in matters of disputed elec-
tions would, ere long, be taken from the House of Com-
mons, who used it so badly, as was evidenced by the va-
riety of decisions which were given upon similar cases.
He defended the course which he had previously taken
in voting for the additional Maynooth grant, and said
that now, as all his anticipations of the beneficial results
which would accrue had been disappointed, he should
deem it his duty in future to oppose the grant. Upon
general policy he did not state his views, reserving them
for future addresses. The Liberal candidate will be an-
nounced to-morrow. .

~„
THE MOORS.—A statement has been currently re-
ported that the severe snow storm which happened in
May over the whole country proved most destructive to
the grouse upon our northern moors. From the southern
papers we are led to believe, that this is true of the
Yorkshire and Lancashire moors, but having made
special inquiry among the most trustworthy game-
keepers and others, throughout the Highlands, we
can confidently contradict the rumour. On the
contrary, grouse were never more abundant or in
healthier condition. The snow-storm was rather an
advantage to us than otherwise, for the hills have
not yet lost their coating of snow, but yield up a
portion every day to feed up the rivulets coursing down
their sides. Besides, although the plains and low grounds
of this neighbourhood, and along the east coast, have
already suffered from drought, the hills have had a pretty
in fact,
large supply of rain discharged upon them—quite enough,
to keep the old birds in good condition, while the
genial warmth of the last fortnight has been the most
favourable weather we could have had• for the young
birds. Partridges have, indeed, suffered much fo
Want of rain, but the accounts we receive from all pa
of the oountry represent the prospects of the gro
shooting season as being unusually good.--Inver

NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

Mr. WALPOLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land the following questions :--Whether the Commis-
sioners of National Education in Ireland have rejected
or expunged from the list of books to be used in the
National Schools, "The Evidences of Christianity," by.
the Archbishop of Dublin ? Whether they have deter-
mined, that, if any child's parent should object to the
use of any single book, it is a sufficient reason for ex-
cluding such book, not from that child only, but from
the whole school ?

Sir J. YOUNG answered the first question in the
affirmative.
SCOTCH UNIVERSITY TEST (SCOTLAND)BILL.
The LORD ADVOCATE, in moving the postpone-
ment of his bid until after the next order of
the day, stated that he intended to propose that
the declaration in future to be required from
professors should be to the effect that they never
would, in the discharge of the duties of the office,
endeavour, either directly or indirectly, to teach or in-
culcate doctrines opposed to the divine authority
of the Holy Scriptures, or the Westminster Confession
of Faith, as ratified by law in the year 1690, and would
never exercise the said office to subvert the Church
of Scotland by law established. (Hear, hear.)

Landsmen.

The pay and duties of second-class ordinary seamon and
landsmen being identical, the latter rating is to be abo-
lished.

Good-conduct Badges.

Time served as second-class ordinary seamen, is, pro-
spectively, to count as time served as ordinary seamen, for
the good-conduct badge and pay.

Men absent without Leave or imprisoned.
Men and boys who have absented themselves without
leave, or who have wilfully overstayed their leave more
than 48 hours, are to forfeit their pay ; but the allotment
is not to be stopped during the period of their absence ; and

to be represented by the captain, the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, or the commander-in-chief on a foreign
station, should think proper otherwise to direct. In all
cases of mulct of pay, the circumstances are to be duly
noted in the ship's log, and in the quarterly return of pun-
ishments. This regulation is not to interfere with the
directions contained in the Queen's regulations, Art. 5,

places of residence.

Commanders, under captains in rated ships, are to be
allowed a servant, to be borne and paid as a second-class
ordinary seaman.

Seamen Gunners.

My lords are of opinion that the system under which
seamen gunners aro now entered requires modification,
with a view both to its increased efficiency and extension.
They are therefore pleased to direct that men who may
hereafter enter as seamen gunners bo divided into two
classes. Ist class men are to be entitled to an additional
pay of 2d. a day, and the 2d class to an additional pay of
ld. a day each ; the pay in question to be granted accord-
ing to their qualification, and irrespective of length of ser-
vice. The Ist class to be eligible to be promoted to the
situation of gunner's mates and gunners ; the 2d class
should be held qualified to perform the duty of captains of
guns.
The existing regulations relating to seamen gunners who
have already been entered for five years are to remain in
force, except as regards men who volunteer for continuous
service, and who may be deemed eligible for either of the
above classes.
In entering men hereafter for the Excellent preference is
to be given to those who volunteer for continuous and ge-
neral service.

THE SULTRY WEATHER AND L. HYAWS DRESS.

tr HE sun has begun to shine forth with his
I''
accustomed summer strength, and the oppressive heat of the
weather is daily felt and talked of. Cumbersome clothing should
now be completely thrown aside for dress of a completely opposite
character.
Summer Lounging Coats, fine, flexible, and light in texture. and
loose and airy in design and make, are manufactured by L. HYAM,
in a style which must command complete,satisfaction.
and
Trousers of L. Hymn, in a manifold variety of plain
and fancy fabrics, and a novel and rich assortment of seasonable
Vests, are also worthy of prominent reference, as being peculiarly
adapted to the present season.
The Dress Coats and Frock Coats do the Proprietor's Establish-
ment an equal amount of credit, and are strongly recommended to
purchasers.
