MANNING THE NAVY.
The following has just been issued
"Admiralty, May 30, 1853.
"[Extract from new 4dinilalty regulations relating to
the entry and pay of boys and seamen. The regulations,
with the documents to which they refer, will be sent to
the several ports iu the comae of a few days.]
"Boys.
" Boys who have entered for continuous and general ser-
vice are, when advanced to an of Ow under-mentioned
ratings, or to those stated in the taUJ of pay attached
hereto, to be allowed the following rates of pay, in addition
to the present pay of the Royal navy :
Per calendar month Per
of 31 days. annum.
2d class ordinary swum 2s. 7d. 10 5
Ordinary seamen
Petty officers and able seamen 7 9 4 11 3
" They will also be eligible to be granted pensions aft?.r
shorter terms of service than at present, as hereinafter
specified.

"SEAMEN.

" The above additional rates of pay are also to be allowed
to all petty officers, seamen, and others specified in the
table of pay, under the following conditions :
" 1. To all men who volunteer for ten years' continuous
and general serviee.

"2. Men who may hereafter enter the navy for the first
time for the usual period for which a ship is commissioned,
and who afterwards volunteer, at any time before the ship
in which they are serving is paid off, for such further
periods as may be necessary to complete ten years con-
tinuous and general service from the date of their first
entry, will be allowed the increased rates of pay from the
date of their so volunteering.
"3. To seen who have already served in the navy, or
who are now serving, and who volunteer for not less than
seven years' further continuous and general service.
"4. To men who have already served 10 years and
upwards from the age of 18, provided they volunteer to
complete by continuous and general service such further
periods as may be necessary to make up 20 years from the
age of 18; provided such period of continuous and general
service to be completed be not less than five years.
" Men who have once completed an engagement under
any one of the foregoing conditions will be entitled to the
higher rates of pay when they re-enter. It is to be under-
stood, however, in every case, that the additional rates of
pay are only to be given for continuous and general ser-
N ice ; and that pensions after 20 years' total service from
the age of 18 will be awarded only to men who have served
under any of the foregoing conditions.
" Any man, however, having already completed 15
years' service in the navy, from the age of 20, may receive
the highor rates of pay by volunteering for not less
than five years' continuous service, but can only be pen-
sioned as heretofore after 21 years' total service.
" The rates of pension to be granted after 20 years' ser-
vice from the age of 18 will be the same as those now
granted after 21 years' service from the age of '2O, and with
the same allowances for petty time ; but to entitle seamen
to the higher allowances for petty time now established, it
will be necessary for them to enter for and to complete a
period of 10 years' continuous and general service, unless
during such period they are invalided for wounds or hurts
received on service. The attention of seamen should be
particularly directed to the advantage of this latter regu-
lation.

" The allotments of seamen who enter for continuous
and general service will remain in force during the period
of their engagement, unless cancelled by themselves under
existing regulations.

" In carrying out the arrangements of the naval service
under the new system of continuous service, the com-
manders-in-chief at home and abroad will afford facilities
for the exchange of seamen in the different ships whenever
the public service will admit ; but in all cases the sanction
of captains in command must be obtained, and such ex-
change will be permitted only to men of good character.

" LEADING SEAMEN.
" As an inducement to seamen to render themselves pro-
ficient in all branches of their duty, my lords are pleased
to direct that a higher class of able-seamen be established,
under the denomination of ' leading seamen,' and with an
additional pay of 2d. a day each ; to consist of men who
are thorough helmsmen and leadsmen, able to assist in re-
pairing sails, and who are practical riggers, capable of
doing duty as such in any part of a ship ; to undergo an
examination for the rating, conducted by competent offi-
cers; to wear a badge of distinction (according to pattern) ;
to be exempted from corporal punishment, except by sen-
tence of a court-martial or for mutiny ; to be reduced for
the committal of any grave offence in the same manner as
petty officers, having been first deprived of any good-con-
duct badges they may possess. The number of leading
seamen in each ship to be according to the schemes of com-
plement hereafter to he issued. The increased pay of 2d.
a day is to be allowed without reference to the period for
which a man may have entered.
