NAVAL INTELLIGENCE:'
THE SUP.F.2IISTENDF,NTSIIip OF DEVONFORT DOCK-.
YARD.—C,lptain Michael Seymour, the Superin-
tendent of Sheerness Dockyard, has been appointed
Commodore of the first class, and Superintendent of
Devonport Dockyard, vice Lord John Hay, C. 8.,
deceased.

It is reported that Captain Charles Eden, private
secretary to the First -Lord of the Admiralty, will
succeed Commodore Seymour as Superintendent of
Sheerness Dockyard. With reference to the super-
intendentship, a Devonport correspondent writes as
follows :

" The officials here are all anxiety to learn the
name of the fortunate officer who is to succeed the
late Lord John Hay as Superintendent of the dock-
yard. Every day brings the name of a new candi-
date, and every imaginable reason is assigned in
support of the parties named—strong Parliamentary
interest, relationship to a fortunate family, peculiar
service claims, and last, though it should not be least,
peculiar qualifications for the duties. But amidst all
this doubt and conjecture one thing is spoken of as
certain—namely, that whoever may be the superin-
tendent, the secretary is to be selected from among
the clerks of the establishment, fully acquainted with
the routine of the yard, and therefore capable of really
assisting the new chief in such matters.

Whether the confidence in this arrangement has
any other foundation than that which arises in the
belief, that with the present Board of Admiralty the
efficient discharge of the duties of the establishment
has paramount consideration remains to be seen ;
certain it is, however, that all those at all acquainted
with the duties of secretary, or rather first clerk in
the superintendent's office, consider the anomaly of
appointing a person to direct who must be totally
ignorant of the very alphabet of the routine of the
office, as too glaring for a repetition. In saying this
much it is not intended in the slightest degree to re-
flect on the gentleman who held the office under the
late Superintendent; his disqualifications are not per-
sonal, but general to all uninitiated. For the duties
of secretary to a commander-in-chief, or commodore
of a fleet, a purser is qualified by a long course of
regular systematic instruction during his clerkship,
and is generally selected from his experience in some
secretary's office; but of the duties of a dockyard he
must be totally ignorant, and thus made dependent
upon others in all his official acts. Duties thus con-
ducted never can be satisfactorily carried out—that
which should be confidential is made known, and
those who should be instructed become the instructors.

THE DOUANE AT BOULOGNE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—As your columns are never closed against the
really injured, I beg leave to submit to you my case.
A few days ago. I accompanied a gentleman to
Paris, viii Boulogne, where, after undergoing the
passport ordeal, we were escorted to a private door at
the back of the seat occupied by the chef de bureau.
My companion never having been similarly honoured
on former occasions, bowed in his best English style,
and thanked the authorities for saving him from the
nuisance of the touters at the public exit, but be soon
found that I was the cause of the presumed favour
being shown us. Upon entering an inner room,
which seemed to be a place of rendezvous for all the
clans, permission was requested to join the "express
through train" without delay, but we received for
answer, " Chacun a son tour ; les plaids ne passent
pas comme cela." Upon its being observed that I was
about ten years old and had on four or five previous
occasions passed the Boulogne douane "scot free," the
chefsensibly remarked, " Comment, voulez-vous que
sacne l'histoire d'un plaid ou son Age, surtout avec un
bout de chandelle comme pointing to the
remains of a Boulogne dip which stood guttering o❑
his bureau. "Attendez le gaz et nous verrons alors, car,
pour le moment, je ne vois ni trou ni tache, corn pagnons
ordinaires d'un plaid de 10 ans." My companion re-
gretted not baying "mon histoire" and "mon acte de
naissance" better authenticated, and added, with at,
air of proud satisfaction, that I had hitherto always
been sans tache, though, to secure our joint freedom,
he would reluctantly submit to my receiving one (ii
it could• be spared), from the petit bout de chandelle,
before alluded to. This mode of liberation being re-
fused, it was then proposed that I should be left until
nine o'clock on the following morning, in order that
my age might, if possible, be discovered by daylight,
but as this course would not only have entailed the
loss of the " express through," but also the expense of
supper, bed, and breakfast at an hotel, the invitation
was respectfully declined. My companion now drew
himself up in the centre of the gloomy apartment, sur-
rounded by some 30 or 40 individuals, each enveloped
in a plaid. All eyes were upon us, including those of
the chef de douane—asolemn stillness prevailed—the
denouemeut was felt to be at hand—my companion
seized me by one of my nether extremities, and
tearing it asunder to the extent of half a yard, ex-
claimed, his arms still outstretched, " Voila." The
effect produced by this word, so well suited to the
action, was tremendous ; he had become a hero ; I a
martyr. A pause ensued, the chef passed-hisfoulard
over his moistened brow, saying, at the same time, in a
subdued tone, to the sentinel at the door, " Laissez-
passer le plaid dichiri," and the latter, baying fol-
owed up the welcome words by, " Place au plaid
dichire," we forthwith made our exit, evidently
leaving a most favourable impression behind us. The
duty levied on a first-class plaid, sans trou ou tache,
10f. ; on a second class one, similarly favoured, 6f.
67c., or 30 per cent., on the presumed value. As in
the case of one, now no more, the "rent" was my
salvation, and may, should you think fit to record my
adventure, save many an old. " shepherd" 6f. 67c. of
French money at the cost of a little fine-drawing in
" Auld Reekie."
Your obedient and obliged servant,
Sept. 6. A TORN TARTAN.

But there is one other point on which there is— 14
the present time great jealousy—namely, economy.
When the duties were perform-d by a clerk on the
establishment, the gentleman was not a mere secre-
tary to the Superintendent, he psrtook in the general
duties of the office ; but under the present system the
secretary is simply an attache of the chief at an addi-
tional cost to the public of nearly 4001. a year. On
every plea, therefore, whether on account of the con-
venience and facility of bipiness—justice to a de-
iervin4 class of public servants, woo have a right to
look to reaching the position which the office of secre•
tary to the Superintendent confers—or, above all, the
good of the service combined wish economy, which,
while reductions are being made among the working
classes, should not be lightly considered by their
Lordships, it is alleged that the old system should be
reverted to.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL LESLIE.—Our con-
temporary the Times has disposed of another flag
officer. The death of Rear-Admiral Samuel Leslie (on
the retired list of 1846) is rep wted to have taken place
on the 3d instant, at Rosebank, Donaghadee. The
reported deceased must have ben in the 73d year of
his age, for he was born in March, 1779, but whether
he will turn out to be one of the " dead alive" it
remains for our contemporary to discover. At any
rate in these days of begrudging and reproach, it
may be some advantage to the service to show the
country how our flag officers have earned their pay
and promotion. Admiral Leslie was son of the Ve-
nerable Edmund Leslie, Archdeacon of Down, and
descended from a noble Hungarian family who settled
in North Britain in 1067. The gallant admiral en-
tered the navy in May, 1793, and his full-pay service,
including 10 years in the Coast Guard, amounted to
32 years, or about 11 years more than Sir Charles
Napier has served. His first ship was the Pomona,
28, Captain Henry d'Esterre Darby ; and until the
early part of 1794 was employed, chiefly in the capa-
city of midshipman, in annoying the enemy's coasting
trade, a service which frequently brought him under
the fire of the batteries of the French shore. Joining
the Impetueux, 74, Mr. Leslie served for many
months at the blockade of Brest, after which, on being
again placed under the orders of Captain Darby in the
Bellerophon, 74, he served as master's mate at the
battle of the Nile, August 1, 1791. In the summer
of 1799, as soon as he had passed his examination, he
was received on board the Foudroyant, 80, bearing
the flag of Lord Nelson, who, as a reward for his con-
duct in having volunteered in a heavy gale of wind to
recover one of the ship's boats which had broken adrift
in Palermo Bay, nominated him in the following No-
vember acting lieutenant of the Success, 32, Captain
Shuldham Peard. While in that frigate, to which he
was not confirmed until Oct. 16, 1800, Mr. Leslie
served at the blockade of Malta, assisted at the cap-
ture, Feb. 18 and Aug. 24, in the latter year, of the
French 74-gun ship Le Genereux, and 40 gun frigate
La Diane, and was on board her when she was her-
self taken, Feb. 13, 1801, by a French squadron
•under M. Ganteaume. Being soon exchanged, he
joined in the ensuing May the Heerlern, 64, and in
September, 1805, was appointed to La Chipponne,
36, and was at the blockade of C idle. Previously to
his departure for the East Indies, Mr. Leslie took
part in many cutting-out affairs, and on one occasion
had two men killed and three wounded in a beat
under his immediate orders. In Nov., 1809, being
then senior of La Chirp ,nn., he accompaiiied an expe-
dition conducted by Captain Wainwright and Lieu-
osnant-Colonel Lionel Smith against the pirates of
the Persian Gall. During the attack which was
there made upon Ras-al-Khyma, the stronghold of
the freeboters, he distinguished himself in a very re-
markable manner—he burnt, within twice her own
length of the shore, the Minerva, an English ship,
which had some time before fallen into their
hands. In the course of the same day,
November 13, he set fire to all the doors which were
afloat in the harbour, and was of further essential
assistance in the re-embarkation of the military. He
was not, however, in any way rewarded until Janu-
ary, 1811, when at length the commander-in-chief
promoted him into the Wilhelmina hospital-ship, at
Ponies Pinang—an appointment which the Admi-
ralty confirmed March 1 following. Four months
after he had been nominated acting captain of the Sir
Francis Drake frigate, Captain Leslie, who after-
wards assumed command of the Malacca, 36, Volage,
22, and Theban, 36, was officially advanced to post-
rank. While in the Volage we find him heading a
party of seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship
Hussar, and co-operating June 28, 1813, with a
detachment of troops under Colonel Watson, in an
attack upon the defences of Sambas, a piratical state
on the western coast of Borneo, where, after six boar
march in an almost impenetrable jungle, five bat-
teries were in the succession assaulted and carried
with the utmost intrepidity. He was slightly wounded
on the occasion in each leg. In September of the same
year the Captain, then under the orders of Hon.
George Elliot of the Hussar, with whom was em-
ployed a body of troops under Lieutenant-Colonel
Macgregor, assisted in the re-establishment of the
Nagor Ordeen on the throne of Palembang. On re-
moving, in January, 1814, to the Theban, he became
flag-captain to Sir S. Hood. He subsequently com-
manded a squadron in the Java Seas. He paid the
Theban off in April, 1816 ; and was lastly, from
April, 1823, until April, 1832, employed as an in-
specting commander in the Coast Guard. His advance-
meat to his flag-rank took place October 1, 1846.
The Rear-Admiral was amagistrate for county Down.
He married, in September, 1817, Martha, only
daughter of the late George Vaughan, Esq., the de-
scendant of an old Englishfamily.—Morning Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WANDSWORTH.
ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Elizabeth Roberts, the wife
of a carpenter living near Brixton, was brought
before Mr. Beadon charged with attempting to com-
mit self-destruction by drowning.
Edward Collins, a painter, of No. 24, Earl-street
West, Edgware-road, said—On Saturday last he was
amusing himself upon Clapham-common, by swim-
ming the model of a yacht in a large pond, when he
was suddenly alarmed by the prisoner running to the
edge of the pond and throwing herself into the water.
Witness instantly threw off his coat and plunged in
&nen her. He succeeded in dragging her upon the
ground, and after she had recovered a little he found
that she was very much intoxicated.
Mr. BEADON inquired if the water completely co-
vered the prisoner /I—The witness said the water
only reached to her shoulders. She had two boxes in
her hands at the time she threw herself in, and wit-
ness afterwards got them out.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said she had
a little too much to drink, and she was vexed with
herself. She was extremely sorry for what had
occurred, and was truly thankful for having been
rescued.
The husband of the prisoner, a respectable-looking
man, here stepped forward and said his wife was a
very "comfortable" woman and had always conducted
herself with every propriety. •
Mr. BEADON ordered the husband to be bound in
his own recognisances in the sum of la, for the good
behaviour of his wife for the next month.
The prisoner was then discharged.

Lieutenant J. G. Goodenough (1851) has been
appointed to the Centaur flag steam frigate for Brazils,

THE BELLEROPITON.—We stated last week that
the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord George Paulet,
was ordered to fill up her complement to her
service number, and to proceed to Portsmouth. Our
Devonport friends very naturally complain of remov-
ing her. Our correspondent says She is still in
the Sound. The Commander-in-Chief had positively
ordered her to sail for Portsmourn to-day, but with
the present wind, and a short complement, this would
be a dangerous experiment. Why she is to be sent to
P,rtsrnouth to be decked, is a question that would
afford some amusement if pub:icly solved. The dock-
yard at this port affords sufficient accommodation for
the purpose, as the Sanspareil, at present in dock, is
in every way ready to give place to her. It is more
than probable that when she comes to be examined
she will be found too defective to be sent to sea with-
out first undergoing considerable repairs, and the
officers and crew have to be turned over to some other
ship. If one of the advanced ships at this port had
bean commissioned, instead of re-commissioning the
Bellerophon, at least 10,0001, or 12,0001. would have

CONFLAGRATION AT LORD HARRY VANE'S, AT
EWHURST.— On Sunday night a terrible conflagration broke
out at New House Farm, Ewhurst, the property of, and
occupied by, Lord Harry Vane. It appears that some
children of Irish labourers, who were encamped near the
premises, obtained lucifer-matches and went into the straw
yard. By accident they fired the straw, which communicated
with the farm buildings. A barn, with thirty loads of peas
in the haulm, half of which were white, and a lodge, were
burnt down. Great praise is due to the labourers in assisting,
otherwise a peastack, and a beanstack, and haystack, which
stood within a few feet of the barn, must have been burnt
down. We have not yet learned whether the property was
insured.

FRENCH RAClB.—The Chantilly races are fixed for
the 12th October. The principal stake, the Oinninm, is of
10,000 f. The Paris races are to take place on the 19th, 23d,
and 26th October. The Government Stakes are to be run
for, and the Principal of them is the Grand Prix Naiional,
of 14,000 f. The nukeber of horses in training in the vicinity
of Paris is uuutually great (about 200), and capital aport is
expected.

been saved to the public already. What the addi-
tionll waste will be if, after all, she should be found
not fit for sea, we will not pretend to say." It must
be cc .fessed that the exp?rienee of con-imissioning the
Superb, 80, and Bellerophon, 78, " all standing," as
it is termed, has turned out by no means an econo-
mical experiment. The costliness, however, may have
arisen from keeping the ships too near a dockyard.
Whilst in such vicinity they are always sure to
