A THOUSAND SEA3IEN FOR THE ROYAL NAVY.—TO
terday an offer from some of the principal merchants an a
shipowners of New Quay, South Wales, and Liverpoo I
was made to the Lords of the Admiralty to the effec t•
that they were willing to raise 1,000 able seaman for ho
Majesty's service in any part of the world, to fight tl
Russians, provided the Government would consent to it
out a 120 gun-ship, to be called the " South Welshman.,
for them to man. There is a 120-gun ship now buildin g
at Portsmouth, and nearly ready for launching; it is pri
posed to call her the Dlarlborolgh. Whether, under th •
above circumstances, the Admiralty will consent to Alta r
it to the South Welshman is at present uncertain.
