LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1856.

streors, not reformers ; the• source of the abuses which
threaten, if not amended, to raider England's first, service
eminently unpopular, and to drive our seamen iuto the war
ships of other nations, lies too deep for eradication, or even
avoidance, by half-a-dozen gentlemen, lay and professional,
whose tenure of ofEc3' is quite precarious, and who seem to
have nothing for it but to administer the system as they find,
it. Certain minor reforms are within reach of the Board of
Admiralty, and we are bound to say that board has not been
slow to avail itself of any powers it possesses to affect them.
We may refer to the recent changes in the medical depart-
ment in the navy in support of this assertion. In the main,
however, the Admiralty cannot inaugurate reforms. It is
`or Parliament first to investigate abuses, and then to eradi-
cate them, or, if possibly, to provide against their future
growth, and we are bound to say that Parliamentary inquiry
into the present. condition of the naval administration need
not be deferred for want of materials.

The House of Commons have, however, decided against the
'inquiry, and whatever necessity may exist for such a step we
cannot but say that in the present state of affairs the house
is right. This is not exactly the time for such a proceeding,
hewer desirable—peace is not yet concluded, and a vivi-
section of exposurt of abuses in our naval economy and ad-
ministration would not tend to make Russia easier to be dealt
with, and the negotiations about to commence the more hope-
ful. The revelations of Captain &obeli respecting the man-
ning of the Baltic fleet in 1854, attes ed and confirmed asthey
were last night by Admiral Napier, are in themselves suffi-
ciently derogatory.to the naval characterof England. The fleet
which now upholds the honour of the " meteor flag" does not
include one-half the number of liners, or anything like one-
half the number of men (including sailors and marines) as
that fleet which in 1800 went forth to assert England's supre-
macy on the seas.
True, we have now an agency at our command, which has
revolutionised naval warfare, yet the fact remains the same,
that our naval service has fallen in popularity, and we have
found that the sweepings of our towns and of our dockyards
afford but a poor substitute for the thorough-going, daring,
simple-minded sailor who conquered for England her maritime
empire. _ . _

Captain Seobell did no more than justice to Mr. Disraeli,
when he referred to the strong sense manifested by that right
hon. gentleman, and the Administration of which he was a
distinguished member, of the necessity for a thorough naval
reform. Lord Derby's Government did really give assurance of
their intention to effect such a revolution. But the other day
Lord Malmesbnry described the conditicn in which the naval
arsenals were found when the Duke of Northumberland and
his colleagues commenced their labours. We need net say
what were the results of those labours, honestly pursued for
a few months. Let the present condition of the fleet, as re-
gards its materiel, speak for the efforts, well directed and
unremitting, which, two years before the war broke out,
placed our fleet in a state of preparation. We need only say,
that had the carter of improvement then entered upon been
steadily pursued there would be less need of the reform so
imperatively demanded to-day.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat received up to our market
this week, coastwise and by land carriage, has been mode-
rate. The show of samples to-day was,by no means large,
yet the trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quo-
tations. In foreign wheat—the show of which was on the
increase—so little bt.sinesii was transacted that prices were
almost nominal. We had a very slow sale for both barley
and malt, at barely late rates.

---Good s'onad oats were held at full r; ices, but other quali-
ties met a dull sale.

---Beans, Peas, and flour moved off heavily, at Monday's
prices.

MET4OPOLITAN CATTLE MARiKET.

We were fairly supplied with beasts, to-day, as to num-
ber, but their general quality was very middling. Amongst
the supply ware 50 oxen from Oporto. The beef track
was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the prices realised
on. Monday of 2d per Sibs. The show of beef was limited,
nevertheless all breeds moved off heavily, and the quota-
tions were 2d per Sibs lower than on Monday. We had a
very dull inquiry for calves, the supply of which was
small, at 4.1 per 81hs less money,
Pigs were heavy, and rather cheaper.
Mileh cows were very dull, at from 131 I3s to ISI 10s
each, including their small calf. .

P...DVILTISEMENT. ]—lt is with pleasure we notice the daily
increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver corn-
Plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow-
ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848.
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta 1 was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed,
c
and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering
beingsev e severely
compelledf ro m
to h
flatulency,,iv have
recourseconstipation, and indigestion, and
third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice.
There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right
ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled
the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I
had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat,
and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so
great that I could not remain iu the same position for ton
minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed
to be just below the ribs on my loft side, and about three
inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Da Barry's
Revalenta, Arabica morLing and evening, boiled in water and
salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly
improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished
that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and
less like a drunken man, &c.—JouN VAss, Land-steward.- •

the house the question of the elevation of a gentleman
Lamed Mr. Roache to the vacant barony of Fermoy.
He 'had. not moved that the grounds for this creation
should be referred to the consideration of the committee
of privileges, because he expected that the matter
would be brought before their lordships upon the
presentation of a petition from that gentleman that he
might be permitted to exercise his right to vote at the
elect'on of an Irish peer. Since no petition of this kind
had been presented, he begged to give notice that if
