paid on Saturday last to Woolwich Dockyard, for the
special instruction of the gun-boats, it was suggested by
Mr. Green, the master of the despatch vessel Coquette,
that a handing and return scuttle should be out on. the
lower deck of that Blass of war-vessels, so as to feral a
direct communication from the handing-room to the
upper deck, which plan would considerably facilitate the
supply of powder, it being at present conveyed the entire
length of the store-room and lower deck. The proposi-
tion having been found useful, was immediately approved
by their lordships, and it has been ordered to he carried

JUSTICE IN R Ow. —ln the Wensleydale debate upon the
life peerage Lord Campbell in self-exculpation declared
that he had privately but "distinctly stated to his noble
and learned friend (the Lord Chancellor) that he should be
obliged to make a row about it when Parliament met."
Who, out of the major circle of the peerage, could ever
believe that a live, hereditary peer could, just like a
paceman, ta:k of a "row ?" What then will be the
amazement of merely common people to learn that even
the awful Lord Chief Justice of England has, in the
security of private life, been heard to " dem his uttone,"
