perly acquainted with the progress of the various national
works connected with the navy and its executive by
merely the formally performed visit once or twice a year
to the ports. Coming often, and when least expected,
is the right way to acquire a knowledge of the matters
with which it is so pre-eminently essential that the Lords
of the Admiralty should be thoroughly acquainted.
These visits will not promote any officer: that usually
looked-for consequence of a visit from their Lordships
and the display of their flag is abolished, their Lordships
not feeling it expedient to continue the recognition of •
custom which has led Commanders and First Lieutenants
of ships to look for promotion, not so much from their
merits as from the chance fact of their having received
' the Admiralty or some part of the Board on their quar-
ter-decks, which has been the means of frequently
producing great discontent as well as disappointment to
less fortunate but perchance more deserving men.

ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—The anniversary festival
of this institution took place on Wednesday at the London.
Tavern, and was very numerously and respectably ate:
tended. The Earl of Auckland filled the chair, stip.-4
ported by the Earl of Waldegrave, Lord Byron, Admi-
rals Sir E. Codrineton, Bowles, M.P., Dundas, Sir
C. Adam, M.P., Sykes, Sir J. Ommanney, Sir C. Mal-
colm, Prescott, Festing, Sir S. Pym, and Lysaght • Sir
G. Larpent, Alderman Lucas, Captain Keppel, Sir J.
EL. Pally, Sir G. Bremer, Sir S. Brown, General Taylor,
Colonel Ballingall, Colonel Robinson, Captain Meynell,
M.P., Captain Murray, Mr. J. Meek, Archdeacon Ro-
binson, Rev. T. Chambers, Rev. R. Middlemist, and
Rev. J. B. Smith. After the usual loyal toasts had been
disposed of, the Chairman gave " the Church," which
was responded to by the Master of the Temple in an
eloquent and impressive speech, wherein he vindicated
the attachment which existed between the Church and
the navy. In proposing Prosperity to the Royal
Naval School," the Earl of Auckland adverted to soma
dispute which had arisen as to the propriety of altertoi
its constitution, so as to admit civilians. He expressea
his confidence in the success of the school, althoughthe
want of support from the profession had been complained
of, and he testified to the interest which he took not
only officially, but from private conviction, in its wel:
fare. The Earl of Waldegrave, Sir E. Codrington, and
other distinguished gentleman, in replying to or pro-
posing toasts, made observations conceived in a similar
tone, and strongly urged upon officers of the navy th,e.
necessity and propriety of coming forward to suppon
the institution in a manner so liberal that its distinctive
character might be preserved. The subscriptions an-
nounced by Mr. Eames, the secretary, amounted to
1,5001., inclusive of 1,0001. given by the present Earl of
Yarborough to found a scholarship in commemoration of
the late Earl, and to provide with an outfit boys front
the school entering the royal navy. The whole ar-
rangements of the evening were very satisfactory, and
the charming singing of Miss Dolby, who was included
among the vocalists present, made the time pass away
most pleasantly-. Mr. Toole was toastmaster, and dis-

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —A DANGEROUS DISEASE OF TUN
LIVER AND STOMACH CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND Pull.
—Mr. Thomas Randall, 7, Cottage-place, Solomon's-lane, Lime-
house, formerly a farmer, declares that his health for twenty years
past had been so very precarious, owing to a derangement of the
liver and stomach, that he was frequently seized with
spasms, which so nearly choked him, that he often anticipated being
found dead by his labourers ; but spite of such dangerous symptoms,
he was perfectly cured in the course of a month by rubbing Hollo-
way's Ointment into his chest, stomach, and right side, and taking
his celebrated Pills, which are sold by all druggists, and at the pro-
it prietor's establishment, 244, Strand, London.
