NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

NAVY ESTIMATES.
In both houses of Parliament, last night, the affairs of
the navy were embraced in the topics of remark and dis-
cussion. In the House of Lords the natural impatience
at the delay in publishing the committee's report on
" manning the navy" was represented by Lord Lovel
and Holland and the Duke of Northumberland. • The
Earl of Aberdeen claimed time for consideration of the
proceedings of the committee, in consequence of the
. vast number of subjects beside that of manning the navy
that was included in the report, with a view to form
some opinion on the important question. The noble
Premier, however, is inclined to give the report, and
postpone the publication of the evidence.
As we have often , stated, we believe the question of
manning the permanent navy is one that can be solved
, only by s. d. our skilled seamen were paid ade-
quate wages for their laborious, worrying, and hazard-
ous services—if they were paid as men who, having
served a long apprenticeship, are entitled to journey-
men's wages, instead of being paid as common labourers
--Baer() would be no 'difficulty in not only manning the
navy quickly and efficiently, but the service would have
so many volunteers for entry into it that the cruel
and degrading tine of corporal punishment (now,
unhappily, a necessaryr evil) could with safety and
advantage bo totally abolished, for then, as in the
case of our dockyard men. now, the greatest misfortune
or disgra'ee' that could befal a man would be that of
being turned out' of the service, • We perceive that the
subject of corporal punishmeti was discussed in the
House of .Commons last night, when our old suggestion
—namely, that ships' courts-martial should try an
offender before punishment, and tha,‘ a man should not
undergo the degrading infliction 4 whipping on the
lindgMent and detail:4;24oP "lel th4l capt-ain—was
urged on the First Lord of the Admiralty. There can
be no doubt that a elia,nge of this nature would be a
most wise amelioration of the absolute naval code ; for
we know from experience that many a good man would
have been saved not only from unjustifiable torture, but
from utter ruin, had the charges hastily alleged against
him been subjected to a calm and deliberate investiga-
tion by a court or committee composed of three or five
persons. To this more humane and just mode of in-
quiry into and punishing of offences in the navy, we
must sooner or later come ; and the Admiralty who are
the first to introduce it will not only prove themselves
real friends of the navy, but will thereby serve
the best interests of the country. Rear-Admiral
Sir J. Pechell last night conjured up a host of diffi-
culties, in carrying out the suggestion of shipS' courts-
martial ; as he says in some small ships it would be
impossible to form a tribunal. We never gave the gal-
lant officer much credit for that intelligence on naval
matters which his rank would indicate him to possess ;
but we never thought our opinion could be confirmed by
an observation so silly. It is true that he has not been
afloat for the last 30 years, but one would suppose him
to be acquainted with the fact that in the smallest man
of war on a foreign station there are at least four or five
officers eligible to sit at any civil court of inquiry, or in
a special jury box. It is, indeed, no credit to the cloth
to find that the civilian member for Lambeth is more
capable of discussing naval details than a flag officer.
The gallant admiral, we perceive, delivered himself of
his usual rambling, irrelevant speech, having as mush
application to the naval estimates as to the Maynooth

under
examination by a sworn committee ; and we are quite
sure that the service will neither deem it fair,
nor even decent, for an officer who has never served a
day since the year 1821, but who has been in receipt of
the country's money all the time in the shape of half-pay
and emolument, and is now actually in the receipt of
450/. a year, should invidiously remark upon the offices
held by men so pre-eminently distinguished both in the
military and civil service of this country at sea and on
land against the enemy ashore at the Board of Admiralty
and in the House of Commons, as the venerable and
respected admirals of the fleet, Sir Byam Martin, G.C.8.,
and the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, Bart.,
G.C.B.
It will be admitted that the hon. member richly de-
served the reproof of the First Lord of the, Admiralty
and Mr. Stafford, for his indiscreet observations on the
late Chatham election, and his unjustifiable reference to
the Vice-Admiral and the Rear-Admiral of the United
Kingdom the more unpardonable inasmuch as the
appointments held by those officers are not of recent
date.--Morning Herald.

Fairy yacht, Master Commander David N. Welch,

placing a wooden ball or globe on her old propeller,
taking up about one-third diameter of the whole. It
has been ascertained that the said ball has nothing to do
with regard to the doing away with the vibration ; the
secret of the advantage, therefore, must lie in the pitch,
as well as the form, of blade attached to Griffith's
patent.

SHEERNESS, FEB. 21.
HER MAJESTY'S SCREW STEAM-FRIGATE HORATIO.

The Horatio, 24, commanded by Captain the Hon. S.
T. Carnegie, commenced preparations for sea by sending
up lower yards and topmasts, fidding topgallantmasts,
itie.) On the morning of the 14th inst. Having bent sails
and crOdSed topgallantyards she slipped her moorings at
two p.m., and proceeded in fine style, under steam alone,
out of Sheerness harbour. After making several runs
between the Mouse and Nore light vessels, at an average
speed of 81 knots per hour, she anchored for the night
at the Great Nore. The revolutions of her engine were
33 and 34, those of the propeller 66 and 68 per minute ; '
the multiplying gear being as 2 to 1.
The following forenoon the seamen were exercised at
the great guns. A target being placed at n distance of
450 yards was knocked away by the third shot that was
fired. A second.wa,s setup, and very soon struck. The
Marines -kid then practised at firing (with muskets and
Minie rifles) at d target from the swinging boom
rigged out. Seldom have any body of men evinced
greater proficiency in the use of the musket and rifle
than did the Marines of the Horatio, of whom six or
sevefi Chit of ten invariably hit the mark. In the after-
noon the Hortitid c 4
tinder weigh. After steaming for
a few hours up and doWn the Thames, her engine work-
ing on each grade of expansioti, she eame to an anchor
in Ale Swin, between the Mouse and Malign light vessels.
The net darn small cask was used as a target, at a
distance of 600 yards from the ship. The guns were
loaded with shell. The foufth that was fired struck the
object, carrying away the greater portion of it. The
firing was equal, if not superior, to that of the previous
day. A boat at the given distance would have been
speedily destroyed, so well directed were the shots. The
exercises of the forenoon terminated by the blue jackets
firing at a mark with their small arms, and a concen-
trated broadside, which scarcely shook.the ship, so firmly
are her timbers put together.
The Horatio, hiving weighed anchor, proceeded
under steam up the Swin. When abreast of the Maplin
she bore up, making all plain sail to topgallantsails.
The crew were exercised in making and shortening sail,
&c., the ship going fully 10 knots through the water.
With a fresh breeze, the wind being on the starboard
quarter and tide in her favour, she accomplished the dis-
tance (eight miles) between the Mouse and Nore light
in 42 minutes, the boilers being worked up to a pressure
I i an, en the square inch. She came into harbour
shortening sail off Garrison Point
under sail and steam, ''"shed her fuel from
rep--- -
to topsails and jib. ref. -she rilflorings for-
the Fortitude coal hulk, she took up

merly occupied by the London.
The trial of the Horatio on this occasion wae much
more satisfactory in all respects than that which took
place ;three months since. Taking into consideration
that her bottom was incrustated with weeds and
small shells, the speed she attained may he considered
very fair. She is an old ship, having been built
so far back as 180? on the lines of the Lively. She was
fitted with a screw prOpellei of
,350 nominal hors&power
a few years ago, • on a plan: sUggetted by the late LOrd
John Hay.
Mr. J. Taylor, the Admiralty pilot at Sheerness, being
unable from illness to take charge of the Horatio, the
important and responsible duties of pilot were most
efficiently discharged by the Second Master,

strengthened previous to her departure on a voyage to
the Arctic regions.
The riggers attached to the dockyard commenced re-
rigging the Isabel screw steam-vessel on Saturday, and
whoa she is ready for sea she will proceed to Behring's ,
Straits under the command of Mr. Kennedy, who re-
Reutly commanded the Prince Albert during the last
voyage of that vessel to the Arctic regions. Lady
Franklin has applied for a sailing-master or qualified
' oacer of the Royal navy to navigate, but not to com-
mand, the Isabel, as she is to be under the command of
Mr. 4enuecly, who will be accompanied by I% Bellot,

of the French navy, who has again volunteered his ser-
vices to proceed in a further search for Sir John
Franklin.

The caisson attached to the basin was taken out to-
day, and taken into dock to undergo a thorough repair,
and be made efficient to retain a greater depth of water
on its being replaced at the entrance to the basin, which
is also to be cleared out previous to the launch of the
Royal Abert, 131, screw steam-ship.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN.

It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce
the death of Dr. John Kayo, the learned and excellent
Bishop of Lincoln. Dr. Kaye received his early educa-
tion under the celebrated Greek scholar Dr. Burney,
and afterwards became a member of Christ's College,
Cambridge. In 1804 he took his B.A. degree, and ob-
tained the highest distinctions, both in classics and in
mathematics, which the University can bestow.
The only ther instance on record in which the
same person has won the double honour of senior
wrangler and senior medallist is that of the present Ba-
ron Alderson. In 1814' he . was elected Master of
Christ's College, in 1815 he was created D.D. by Royal
mandate, and in 1816, on the death of Dr. Watson,
Bishop of Llandaff, succeeded him as regius professor of
divinity. It was in this last important position that be
delivered his lectures on ecclesiastical hiStory, as illus•
trated by the writings of Tertullian and Justin Martyr ;
lectures which were subsequently published, and which
form a most valuable portion of theOlogical literature.
The other duties of his arduous office he discharged with
equal ability and success. Ills commencement speeches
at the creation of doctors of divinity were always•topies
of great interest, and expressed in the purest taste and
in the most elegant Latinity ; one of them was on the
subject which now engages pghlio„,a,ttc4ki,on—the ques-
tion of university reform. In 180 Lord Liverpool
selected him at an unusually early age for the bishopric
of Bristol, vacant by the death of Dr. Mansell, Master
of Trinity. In 1827 he was advanced to the see of
Lincoln.

In consequence of this promotion his immediate con-
nection with the University ceased. He was succeeded
in his academical offices by two of his friends, men of
high abilities and kindred feelings—in the Mastership of
Christ's by Dr. Graham, the present Bishop of Chester ;
and in the Regius Professorship of Divinity by Dr.
Turton, the present Bishop of Ely. His attention was
now devoted to the care and superintendence of his large
diocese ; yet, in the midst of his labours, he found time
to publish not only many admirable sermons, many i m
portant charges, treating of all theological questions
which successively agitated the public mind, but also
works on a larger scale and of more enduring interest,
such as his "Account of the Writings and Opinions of
Clement of Alexandria."
To many treatises he never attached his name. Two
of these are well known. His " Remarks on Dr. Wise-
man's Lectures," and his " Reply to the Travels of an
Irish Gentleman." These smaller tracts are replete with
learning, marked throughout by acute reasoning and
sound interpretation, and enlivened by a vein of
most delicate pleasantry which exposes the errors
and inconsistencies of his opponents without ever
deviating from the courtesy of true Christian con-
troversy. His last volume, a portion of which is
actually in the press, is " On Athanasius and the Coun-
cil of Nice." All these works are of value to the in-
quirer after truth, not only on account of their
calm tone and perfect fairness, but of the nice pre-
cision and accuracy with which all the real questions at
issue are touched. However intricate might be the sub-
ject, he seized at once, as with intuitive perception, the
exact point on which the controversy turned. The re-
sults of his knowledge, the conclusions of his well-ba-
lanced mind, were always accessible. They were com-
municated, too, with the utmost simplicity. In public
and in private alike, there was not the slightest tinge of
exaggeration in his language. It was all natural and
unassuming. He knew nothing of the declaimer's art,
by which he overstates to others what he too frequently
understates to himself.

But the excellence of Bishop Kaye must not be esti-
mated by his intellectual attainments, however rare and
remarkable in their character and combination. His
friends dwell on the higher worth of his moral qualities.
They recal his piety, his mild virtues, his gentle man-
ners, his meek and humble deportment, and that "plea-
santness of disposition " which the pious Herbert so
justly deemed a great means of doing good. These qua-
lities were equally appreciated by the high and the low.
While the most polished found delight in the unaffected
grace and charm of his conversation, the poorest and
most obscure who applied to him for aid or advice
felt at once that they were in the presence of a
truly good man, one no less prompt to relieve
than patient to listen to their humble tale of
trouble or distress. His contributiods to various
charities were always liberal—often munificent ; but
those which have met the public eye form but a very
small portion of that unceasing stream of quiet benevo-
lence which flowed on in silence, known to few or none
but the receivers. One of his latest acts was to build, at
his sole expense, the beautiful church of R.iseholme. It
was at the consecration of this church, at which Dr.
Jenkins, the Master of Baliol, was present, that the
Bishop alluded, in the most feeling and grateful
terms, to the high compliment which had been paid
to him by one of the most distinguished colleges in
the University of Oxford. The Master and Fellows
of Baliol enjoy the singular privilege of electinb
their own visitor, and on the death of the late Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, who had held that honourable
post, they sought for his successor in the sister Uni-
versity of Cambridge, and elected the Bishop of Lin-
coln.

In the distribution of his patronage, if he had any
fault, it is a fault which many in these days will willingly
forgive, but which, it is hoped, the friends of the de-
parted prelate will not willingly forget—that, in his im-
partial and disinterested anxiety to reward what he be-
lieved to hp the merits of others, he omitted the oppor-
tunity of rewarding an exemplary minister whom he
most deeply loved, and to whose claims there was but
one objection—that he was his own son.—Times.
