admiral, a good captain and sailing master for each ship,
you have all that is essential. The rest of the crew are
useful, but not indispensable, The Chief use of finding
room for young officers is that they may learn their pro-
fession. One of our ships has been lately endangered on
her way to the West Indies, her crew having been eked
out with marines, and consisting in very small pa of
able seamen. This ought not to be when there is a
remedy ; and in part, at least, the remedy is at hand.—

P.S.—The case of a master in the navy who wanted
to rise higher and was barred by routine, is further illus!
trated by intelligence lately received from the antipodes,
He is seeking command in the merchant service, where
he will be valued as he deserves, while the public will
probably have in his place an inferior article.

DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL ANDREW, C.8.--Rear
Admiral John W. Andrew, C. 8., on the retired list of
1846, died at Chudleigh, Devon, on the sth instant.
The services of the gallant deceased afloat extended over,

and East and West India stations, he subsequently
served in the Seahorse, 38, Blanche, 36, Conqueror,

in the boats in the celebrated catamarin attack of 1804,
on the Boulogne flotilla, and was present in the Cano-

'to South America ; in July, 1809, he was appointed
to the Ajax, 74, Captain Robert Waller Otway, and
during the two years that followed, saw a. good deal of

with the Victorious, 74, in the Gulf of Venice, when
that ship encountered an enemy's, squadron, consisting
of the Rivoli, 74 ; Mercure and Jena, of 18 guns
each ; and Mamelouck, 8. During the action that
ensued, Captain Andrew, whose exertions were ex-
tremely creditable, was 40 minutes engaged in close
contest with the Mercure, which vessel eventually
blew up. He then chased and put to flight the
Jena, by whom he had also been opposed ; and
having likewise driven off the Mamelouck, bore up to
the assistance of the Victorious, stood across the bows
of the Rivoli, and twice poured in a broadside shortly
after whioh the latter ship surrendered. For his exem-
plary conduct he was promoted, his last commission
bearing date Sept. 26, 1812. His last service was as
captain, from Oct. 1, 1814, to Jan. 24, 1816, of the Dee,

FATAL, ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday afternoon, Lieut.
Frank K. Hawkins, of the flag-ship Impregnable, 104,
was shooting wild fowl in a boat in Hamoaze, and while
adjusting the lock of the gun it unfortunately went off,
and the charge lodged in the thigh of the boatman,
William Algar, of Devonport, who was immediately
conveyed to the Devon and Cornwall Hospital, where he
has since expired. Lieut. Hawkins has, we understand,
undertaken to make provision fur the widow of the un-
fortunate deceased —Plymouth Mail.
REPAIR OF THE RUSSIAN SHIPS IN HER MAJESTY'S
DOCKYARDS.—This fact, which the Czar bad the auda-
city to require of Lord Aberdeen, was published to the
population of Russia, thus—" hile the English dare
not send one chip into the Black Sea, we order them to
receive our ships into the very inside of their dockyards,
and the miserable Nanders obey." This is the language
in which England is held up before the Russian serfs.—
Ranta Advertiser.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—Rear Admiral Sir W. Ed-
ward Parry, the newly appointed lieutenant-goverpor of
this institution, joined the establishment on 'Wednesday
last. He and Lady Parry are on a visit at Sir Jas.
Gordon's until his house is ready for his reception,
which will be in the course of a few days.—Kentioh.
Mercury.

THE AFFAIR AT SINOPE.—The following particulars
have been received from Mr. Thomas Taverner, of New-
ton Abbot, master of the British vessel Howard, which
was destroyed by the Russians in the harbour of Sinope.
Under date of Constantinople, DeceMber 11, he states
that, "On the 30th of November, he was lying at an-
chor, the Turkish squadron being also at anchor in the
bay. The Russian fleet, taking advantage of the thick
weather, ran in with a strong breeze from the E.S.E.,
and were not more than a mile and a quarter distant
when first seen ; and in 15 minutes from that time an
engagement took place, without giving any notice to
him to reipove his vessel or get away. He used every
exertion to slip his cable, which it was impossible to
effect, before continued showers of shot and shell were
striking the hull, mast, and rigging, directed from the
Russian ships of war. The Howard, with the whole of
the Turkish squadron, were in a short time involved in
flames. The Howard was partially blown up abaft,
when one of the Turkish frigates drifted foul of her. The
remaining Turkish crew, about 100 in number, jumped
on board the Howard, and with axes, chisels, &c., cut
and slipped her cable ; both the vessels drove together,
when, the fire having reached the powder magazine of
the Turkish frigate, an explosion took place, and what
was left of both vessels was blown to pieces. He then
describes the loss of the Turkish fleet, &c., and finishes
by saying that 'everything was destroyed ; he had only
the things he stood upright in ; that, after reaching the
shore, he was attacked by robbers who were plundering
the town, and they stripped him of everything, leaving
him only his shirt and drawers. He then made for the
woods, and remained there in a large tree all night with
the remainder of the crew, two of whom were missing
(one the steward), having jumped overboard in a state
of insanity produced by fright. On the following even-
ing he made for the town, and finding the Austrian Con-
sul, he placed himself and crew under his protection."

RESIGNATION OF SIR R. H. INGLIS,

BART., M.P.

OXFORD, SATURDAY.

---
The Vice-Chancellor has this day received a commu-
nication from Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart., M.P., announcing
his resignation as one of the representatives of this
University.

Sir R. H. Inglis was elected in 1829, when he op-
posed Sir R. Peel, who had resigned his seat in conse-
quence of his views on the Catholic question having
undergone a change since his election for the Univer-
sity. On that occasion Sir R. Peel offered himself again
as a candidate, but was defeated, Sir R. H. Inglis
polling 755 votes, and Sir R. Peel 609. Sir R. H.
Inglis was re-elected without opposition at the general
election of 1832, 1835, 1837, and 1841.

At the general election in 1847 there was a contest,
when Sir R. H. Inglis polled 1,700 votes, Mr. Glad-
stone 997, and Mr. Round 824. Again, at the general
election in 1852, the University was contested, when Sir
R. Inglis polled 1,369 ♦otes, Mr. Gladstone 1,108, and
Dr. Marsham 758. Thus it will be seen that Sir R. H.
Inglis has sat for this University for 25 years—namely,
from 1829 to 1854.

His loss in Parliament will be severely felt by the
University, especially in the present session, when Uni-
versity Reform is likely to engage the attention of the
Legislature, for no member was more attached to the
academic body, and none resisted with greater perseve-
rance any attempt to " weaken its influence," or " in-
vade its privileges." The right hon. baronet is in his
68th year, and in declining health, which he urges as his
reason for withdrawing from the turmoil of political life,
for which he feels himself unequal.
The Marquis of Bbinclford, M.P. for Woodstock, is
spoken of as a candidate on the low church interest, and
Mr. R,undell Palmer, M.P. for Plymouth, and Deputy
High Steward of this University, on the high church
side. The Marquis of Chandos and Lord Mahon are also
named as probable candidates.
The high church party now in Oxford, held a meeting
this evening, in Oriel College, Common Room, to con-
sider what steps should be taken under the present cir-
cumstances, but the result of that meeting has not yet
been announced.
Late in the evening the Vice-Chancellor issued a
notice that a convocation would be held on Monday the
16th, at two o'clock, when a letter addressed to him by
Sir Robt. Harry Inglis, Bart., one of the representatives
of this University, would be read to the house.
It is anticipated that the high and low church party
will have so matured their arrangements as to he able
to announce their respective candidates in the course of
Monday.
