the partial carrying out of whiCh only, your worthy
Chairman has told you, have done much good.—( Hear.)
I never was one for pushing things forward--I knew a
great thing could not be obtained all at once—not even
by the renowned Sir Robert Peel or the Chartitts, and
be it known I go nearly the whole length of the Char-
tists, if not the whole length.—(" Hear, hear," hone
several), I have not a shilling in the world but what is
in land, but I believe that ere long the whole of the
great machine will come round again ; that one finding
he cannot do without another, a general union will be
cemented, and each try to lighten the other's burden."
His Lordship in conclusion gave—" The independent
electors of 1812, and also of 1841."—(Loud cheers.)
The Vice-Chairman then gave his excellent song,
" 0!" amid loud applause. Ho sung it as
well as he had done for many years past.
" The Members for the Town, Sr .1. Hobbouse and
Sir G. Larrent."—(Cheers.)
Lord R aNeurFFE, after passing a high encomium
upon Mr. Wakefield, for his exertions in behalf of the
town, as well as tle Liberal cause, gave " Tue health of
the Chairman."

The CHAIRMAN replied in a neat speech.
In the course of the evening the fonowinz toasts
were also given, and duly hofloured :—The Lord Lieu-
tenant el the County—Success to the Principles of
Free Trade—The Liberty of the Press—Lord Den-
man, the upright Judge, and the enlightened advocate
of a per•ecutei and injured Queen—The Town and
Trade of Nottingham.

INSPECTION OF THE PRESENT

OF THE ROYAL NAVY.

Orders have been sent by the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to the Chief Surveyor-General of the
Navy, and the Govermirs of Deptford, Woolwich,
Sheerness, Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pem-
broke Dack•yards, to send in immediately to the Board
of Admildty a correct statement of the present efficient
state or sea-worthiness of all the ships within their re•
spective dock-yards, after undergoing a careful survey
as to their fitness for active service.

It is the intention, it is confidently stated, of the
Lords of the Admiralty to reduce a great many of
our sm 11 line-Df-battle ships and 74-gun ships to 50-
gun frigates, similar to the Dublin, Southampton, Pre-
sident, Vernon, Winchester, Vindictive, Warspite, &c.,
so as to compete with those of the United States of
America, France, Austria, and Russia, which are ell of
large dimensions. The greatest activity, therefore, pre-
vails in the naval depart ments;so that, in cave of a sud-
den emergency, they will be ready to fit out well ap-
proved ships for service.
In consequence of the difficulty experienced in ob-
taining ale-bodied seamen for the ships ordered in com-
mission, the Lords of the Admiralty, wishing to hold out
every inducement, have issued the following notice :

" Admiralty, 0ct.21, 1841.

" Slit—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to acquaint you that they have been
pleased to rescind the regulations which prevented pen-
siorers from receiving their pensions when serving on
board her Majesty's ships, and that all pensioners will
in future, if fit for service, be allowed to receive their
pensions with their pay.—l am, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
" To Captain -- JOHN BARROW."
