THE DOCK-YARDS.—The system at present pm..
sued in lI.M. Dock-yards with regard to the economy of
labour and materials, as well as the general principles of
efficient superintendence and accountancy, is now under-
going a thorough investigation, and has been followed up at
this port during the past week by Mr. Bromley, an officer of
the Admiralty. This gentleman, who was, we believe, in-
trusted last year by the Government with an important and
confidential mission to Ireland, appears to have been directing
his attention to the method off` duly accounting for Dock-yard
expences, and more particularly to the manner of charging
the expenses of building and repairing H.M. ships. The
application and economy of the labour of the yard seem
also to be important elements of this official inquiry, as well
as the responsible control of the labour. The receipt and
issue of stores, the expense of which forms so large an item
in the Navy Estimates, and which is open to much tempta-
tion to abuse and improvidence, appears to form a portion
of this rigid scrutiny. The same course will no doubt be
pursued at the other yards • and we heartily join with the
Board of Admiralty' in their endeavour to root out, by a
better system, any evil practices which may exist, to set
anthority at defiance, and open the door to delusion or pecu-
lation.—Deeonport Independent.
MADRID STOCK EXCHANGE.—For the benefit and
information of those who have purchased Iberian stock, it
may be stated that an Exchange, or Bolso de Cowercio, was
established at Madrid in 1831. It may be called the coldest
spot in the hot capital, and the idlest, since the usual "City
article " is short and sweet, "sin operaciones" or nothing
has been bought and sold. It might be likened to a tomb,
with " Here lies Spanish credit" for its epitaph. If there
be a thing which "La perfide AMion," a nation of shop-
keepers," dislikes worse even than a French assignat,
it is a bankrupt. One circumstance is clear, that Cas-
tilian pundonor, or point of honour, will rather settle
its debts with cold iron and warm abuse, than with
gold and thanks. The Exchange at Madrid was first
held at St. Martin's, a saint who divided his cloak with
a supplicant. As comparisons are odious, and bad ex-
amples catching, it has been recently removed to the
Calle del Desengano, the street of " finding out fallacious
hopes ;" a locality which the bitten will not deem ill-chosen.
As all men in power use their official knowledge in taking
advantage of the turn of the market, the Boise divides with
the court and army the moving influence of every situacion
or crisis of the moment ; clever as are the Ministers of Paris,
they are mere tyros when compared •to their colleagues at
Madrid in the arts of working the telegraph, the gazette,
&c., and thereby feathering their own nests. The Stock
Exchange is open from ten till three o'clock, where those
who like Spanish funds may buy them as cheap as bad
mackerel ; for when the Three per Cents. of perfidious Albion
are at 98, surely Spanish Fives at 22 are a tempting invest-
ment. The stocks are numerous, and stilted to all tastes and
pockets, whether those funded by Aguado, Ardouin, Torens,
Mendizabel, or Mon, " all honourable men," and wiNst,
punctuality is unremitting.—/kfueray's .?7()f
