THE NAVAL RESERVE.

In a quiet corner of the West India Docks lies
the Brilliant, 26, a frigate of the old school. There
is no place for such a vessel in the navy now-a-days,
so she, with others of her class, have been tem-
porarily fitted with heavy guns, and turned into
training-ships for our naval volunteers. Just now
the subject of our Naval Reserve has very properly
attracted much attention, and, as usual, the utmost
diversity of opinion obtains. For those who wish
to judge for themselves, and judge impartially, we
would recommend a visit to some of the training-
ships which are now stationed in most of the sea-
ports, and in which all day the guns are run in and
run out, trained ahead and astern, and even fired
now and then as the volunteers progress in their
drill. Those who go on board expecting to sec the
neat discipline and uniformity of dress which pre-
vail on board a regular man-of-war will be disap-
pointed. Gold lace and quarter deck is wisely kept
as much in the background as possible. On this
point the injunctions to the officers in command are
strict—" to bear in mind the difference between the
rules and practices of the Royal Navy and those of
the merchant service, and to endeavour, while en-
forcing order and regularity, to do so in such a way
as ratty best conciliate the feelings of the merchant
seamen." Thus the men, being all merchant sea-
men, come in in what dress they like, and as long
as they go through their 28 days' drill in the course
of the year—doing duty at whatever periods are
most convenient t 6 themselves—they earn their £lO,
and can go about their business till the twelvemonth
has expired, when they take 28 more in the same
manner. Those on board the Brilliant are all in
the West India trade, and as a matter of
course prefer to take their 28 days' drill at once.
Those in the coasting and home trades take four
drills of seven days each, whenever they choose, in
the intervals between their regular voyages. On
board the Brilliant, as in all the other vessels, the
men come on board at 9.30 in the morning, when
they are mustered and told off to their guns in time
to commence at 10 o'clock. From this till 12 they
work at the guns, when they are allowed two hours
for dinner, falling in again at 2 and drilling till
4.30, when they dismiss and go home, having of
course all the rest of the day to themselves. These
hours arc easy enough, yet, short as they are, from
the men liking the exercise (especially the broad
sword), they contrive to make astonishing profi-
ciency when the time of their drill is taken into
consideration. Yesterday on board the Brilliant,
from the time the word was given to fall in till
they had fired three rounds from each gun at 400,
600, and 800 yards' elevation, was only four minutes
—a most creditable result when it is recollected
that some of the men had only been a week at
quarters, and none had fully completed their 28
days.

The advantages which are held out to induce the
able seamen to join this reserve are apparently so
great that one requires to investigate carefully the
causes which have led the mass of the able seamen,
up to almost the present time, to regard the whole
plan with a feeling which, if not quite dislike, was
at least one of considerable suspicion. Each man
during drill receives a guinea a week pay, in addi-
tion to the £6 yearly, paid every quarter, half year,
or year, as he may please. During actual service
in the navy (if they are ever called upon) they re-
ceive the same pay as continuous service men, or
about 9s. a month more than other able seamen.
They are entitled to receive the same bedding,
clothing, and mess traps on joining as those that
ship for continuous service ; and after enrolment in
the volunteers for 15 years, whether called out or
not, they can claim their discharge and their pen-
sion forthwith. With such inducements it was
not unnaturally thought that the men would flock
to be enrolled in hundreds. Yet, though some
three months have elapsed since the scheme
was promulgated, very little more than 1,000
able seamen have been entered. These, however, it
must be admitted, are all picked men ; and, as the
weekly number of enrolments now shows a steady,
increase there seems very little doubt but that be-
fore the year expires at least between 3,000 and
4,000 will be on the lists. The proportion of petty
officers and able seamen to ordinary seamen and
boys employed in the navy is about one-third, and
scarcely any of the best manned vessels now in the
Channel Fleet muster more than 250 able seamen
among their blue-jackets.
According to this computation, then, already the
reserve can furnish crews for four sail• of-the-line,
and there is no reason why this number should not
be at least quadrupled under proper management,
as we have said, even before the year is out. The
first fear of the seamen, that immediately after en-
tering the reserve they would be sent out to China
and other foreign stations, is now fast wearing out,
and, except at one or two little ports in the north,
has almost disappeared. One cause of dissatisfac-
tion, however, still remains, and that is that the sea-
men do not receive their quarter':; bounty on enter-
ing the reserve, but only when they have completed
the three months, and this rule is adhered to,
though in the great majority of instances no drill is
demanded at all during this first quarter. No class
of the community is more accessible to the induce-
ments of ready money payment than sailors, and
none, as a general rule, are so little influenced by
prospective advantages. Therefore, when to the
suspicion of being sent abroad is added the draw-
back of having to wait three months-before they get
their bounty, a very superior and provident class of

One most important feature in favour of the
Naval Reserve is that some of the seamen's unions
in the north have, through their delegates, now
warmly taken up its cause, and are forward in ad-
vocating its claims upon the support of the men.
Such aid on the part of the most provident and
careful body of seamen in the country, is of course
most important, and will soon yield good results.
Masters of vessels also give a decided preference to
reserve men, as naturally the most steady and best
trained, and this also is slowly though surely pro-
ducing its effect. If the Government were only
bold enough and liberal enough to take one step
more and pay the able seamen in the navy at the
same rate which they now receive in the merchant
service, we should hear of no more difficulties as to
want of seamen. This increase would add only
£140,000 a-year to the estimates—a small sum for
so great a good.

THE CONMRCIAL TREATY.

-.1

A man struggling between two adverse influences
has always been a favourite subject with painters
and sculptors, and poets and novelists: If any great
genius should just now be contemplating something
in the genre of Garrick between tragedy and comedy,
or Telemachus between Mentor and Calypso,
we beg to recommend as a practical and modern
idea in the same line Napoleon 111. between Free
Trade and Protection. Let M. John Donn's, Pre-
sident of the Commercial Reform Association, pluck
gently at the hem of the Imperial garment on one
side, pointing to a row of extinct furnaces, a quan-
tity of abandoned looms, little knots of commercial
gentlemen, with their ledgers lying closed before
them, and to a crowd of hungry commis-voyageurs,
all out at elbows, and let him say, or seem to say,
sadly, " These are the effects of delay." Let the
President of the Chamber of Commerce be repre-
sented as clasping the Imperial knees ; at his back
let there be crowds of hungry workmen, and on the
floor beside him a copy of the Illoniteur Industriel,
with long lists of bankrupts, tariffs of high prices
for bread and low prices for hardware, and pottery,
and cotton goods ; and let him say, or seem to say,
" These are the effects of precipitation." The ex-
pression of the Imperial countenance we must leave
to the discretion of the artist. -Whether it should
be puzzled and irresolute, stern and indifferent, or
shrewd and triumphant, will depend upon how
much lie may know of what has been done, and
how far lie may be able to calculate what will be
the effect of what has been done. Some such
tableau as this would have the truth if not the dig-
nity of an historical picture, and would shadow
forth simply circumstances which have required
several of our columns for their due announcement.

If there bo any Englishman who places the chief
luxury of life in daily libqtions of the sourest
French wine, and who at the same time pays nu
income-tax, let that gentleman stand forward and
sing the praises of the Cobden Treaty. We know
of no person otherwise placed who can greet it with
unconditional encomium. We all admit that it
has its good points, and that, upon the whole, its
good ovei balances its evil. But then its evils are so
great, and they are so unnecessary. They do not,
for the most part, exist for any one's good. They
might have been so easily avoided. It is so vexing
to think that they are the results of nothing but
the ignorance of the contracting parties as to the
interests of their respective principals. Here is
the Emperor of the French straining his anxious
mind to obtain for his subjects some easy inclined
plane down which they might slide gently into the
sure groove of free trade ; but, unhappily, not hay:-
ing had the same practical experience of commer-
cial transactions which his predecessor on the
throne enjoyed, he has done harm where he was
endeavouring to do goof. To avoid harrowing the
feelings of his subjects, and to save them from sud-
den consternation, he has fixed a distant date for
his, commercial millennium. The consequence is
that he has stopped all the commerce of France.
Every one is looking forward to that millennium,
for good or for evil, that is to be the rule of all fu-
ture commercial transactions. It never occurred to
the Emperor that no one will buy to-day what he
is promised a great deal cheaper a few months
hence. Every man will wait, economise, make
shift with old supplies, stiffer any temporary in-
convenience, rather than pay more than will shortly
be its price for the article he wants. The Commer-
cial Reform Association declares openly that this
benevolentimperial plan has had no other effect
than "to paralyse consumption and labour," and it
calls upon all the chambers of commerce " to unite
their efforts to demand of the Government to
abridge these delays in the double interest of the
producer and consumer." Thus we see it is the
Funch, and Rot the English, who are calling aloud
for the removal of that special stipulation for delay
which the Emperor introduced for their intended
advantage. With the best intentions in the world,
he is ruining his own manufacturers by his cruel
kindness.

So on our side of the bargain the same unhappy
consequences have arisen, and they have arisen
from the same cause—ignorance of commercial
details. It may sound very presumptuous to non-
commercial people for us to intimate that Mr. Cob-
den is capable of making a mistake in commercial
matters ; and we know it will be held rank blas-
phemy by any mob that may get together in any
Free-trade Hall to suggest that Mr. Cobden could
ever be mistaken upon any subject whatever. But
so it is. With the very best intentions, Mr. Cobden
has shown a lamentable ignorance of the interests
with which he was dealing. We by no means at-
tribute this to him as a fault. It could not have
happened otherwise. We should search in vain
throughout England for a man who has an inti-
mate knowledge of the details of every branch of
English commerce. Mr. Cobden is one of the last
men in whom we ought to expect such an universal
knowledge. He has been dealing with great prin-
ciples all his life. His career has been one war of
extermination against all imposts and all Custom-
houses. You might as well set Mr. Mechi to breed
wild rabbits as commission Mr. Cobden to decide
upon the most expedient form of an import duty.
However, he was set to do it, and he has done it ;
and he has done it in such a way that the Bradford
Chamber of Commerce finds he has hopelessly ex-
cluded all our English worsted manufactures from
the French markets. He has consented to the fixed
duty being calculated upon the prices that ruled
during the last six months, not knowing that these
prices have been so exceptionally high that an ave-
rage of them will give a duty of at least 50 per
cent. not only upon present prices, but also upon
any prices at all likely to be obtained in future. It
is the same in the cotton trade ; and even Man-
chester is repudiating the bargain made for it by
its own apostle. In the same way, Mr. Cobden un-
fortunately knew nothing of the prohibition upon
the export of rags, and of the effect of this prohi-
' bition upon the prices of paper. Had he known
better he would, of course, have stipulated for a
fair average of prices as the basis of the fixed duties,
and for the free export of rags in return for the
free import of paper. It was not Mr. Cobden's fault
that he did not know these things, but his want of
knowledge has occasioned all those vexatious diffi-
culties which are the bad points of his treaty.
The result of all this half-information isl that the

This was a suit instituted by Mr. Samuel Alex-
ander against his wife Rebecca, on the ground of
her adultery with Frank Amos. The facts of the
case were as follows :—The petitioner married the
respondent at St. George's, Hanover-square, on Jan.
31,1838, the lady being of great beauty, but of
somewhat inferior station to her husband, who was
the son of a banker at Ipswich. They cohabited
together in different parts of England, afterwards
in America, and latterly in Jersey. Towards the
end of last year they were living in Bewley Bay,
Jersey, when, according to the allegations in the
petition, it was discovered that Mrs. Alexander had
committed adultery with Amos, who was in her
husband's service as groom. There were four chil-
dren born of the marriage.
A witness, named Sullivan, who had been in Mr.
Alexander's service, deposed that about a month
after Amos came he saw Mrs. Alexander in the
dairy crying and saying she wished she was dead,
because she was in love ; and subsequently he saw
her in the groom's bedroom with Amos, who blew
out the candle, upon which witness, who was watch-
ing in the yard, threw some gravel up at the win-
dow. He afterwards told his mistress he should
inform his master of her conduct, when she struck
him, and Amos beat him also. On other occasions
he had seen Mrs. Alexander kiss the groom and
come out of his bedchamber.

On cross-examination by the Court,
Sullivan said he threw sand at the window be-
cause he could not reach it with his hand. The
window was not down to the floor, but the bed
was close to it. The first time he said anything
about the matter was after he had seen the
parties together in the wash-house. Mr. Alexander
used to be away occasionally in town, and the
daughters were absent with him, when the re-
spondent carried on an intimacy with Amos. The
reason he told his master was because he pitied the
children, and had .been led to believe that Amos
was about to go to America with his mistress.
After he had made this disclosure he was turned
away from his situation by Mrs. Alexander.
This witness, who gave his evidence in a very
confused manner, occasionally contradicted himself.
A housemaid in the service of the parties also de-
posed to the existence of an undue intimacy between
her mistress and Amos. She had seen them in the
bedroom together, and noticed her sitting on his
knee and kissing bins. Her mistress went away
from the house about three weeks after Amos left,
and was now living with her mother. When wit-
nessfirst told her master what she bad seen, he ob-
served that it was very bad conduct, and he would
not have it. The witness's testimony was full of
contradictions, and on cross examination her evi-
dence altogether broke down.

The Judge Ordinary delivered the judgment of
the Court. The case was in some respects a re-
markable one. The husband imputed to the wife
that she had committed adultery with a groom
named Amos. It seemed that Mrs. Alexander
was of humble origin as compared to the peti-
tioner, but the parties had lived together for many
years, and there were several children of the
marriage. They had lived always under the dis-
pleasure of the husband's family in consequence of
the connexion, and six years ago an attempt was
made to effect a separation, which, however, the
wife would not agree to. During the whole of this
time there was nothing to excite the slightest suspi-
cion as to the purity and chastity of her conduct.
The Court therefore started with the assumption
that Mrs. Alexander had up to a recent period con-
ducted herself in a manner which nobody could find
fault with. This being so, they were called upon by,
the petitioner to suppose that this lady had condes-
cended to disgrace herself with a groom, who had
been only two months in her husband's service,
and had behaved with so little regard to decency
as to indulge in familiarities with him in open day,
and in the presence of other parties. There might
be such eases—there migh c be a passion approach-
ing to insanity, under which a woman might be lost
to all sense of shame and decency, but there was no
evidence of that sort in the present case. The
Court, after a careful review of the case, thought
there was something so unreasonable, extraordinary,
and altogether improbable and contradictory in the
story told by the witnesses, that it could not for a
moment believe it. Certainly no woman's character
would be safe if it could be destroyed upon such
evidence as this. Their lordships were not satis-
fied that the case of the petitioner was proved,
and, therefore, they felt bound to dismiss the peti-
tion,

• COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Mr.
Justice Williams and a Common Jury.)
ALLAN V. MASON.-SEDUCTION.

This was an action to recover damages for the
seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, and the de-
fendant pleaded that he was not guilty, and that
the daughter was not in the service of the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Shee stated that the plaintiff, Mrs.
Eliza Allan, was the widow of a baker who formerly
carried on business in a very respectable meaner at
Westminster. About eight years ago he died, leav-
ing her with several children, and among them her
daughter Ellen, whose misfortune' was now the
subject of inquiry. About six years and a half ago
the plaintiff went to reside at Plumstead, and hav-
ing some little property she, with assistance from
her sons, lived in some degree of comfort and re-
spectability. In 1854 Ellen made the acquaintance
of the defendant Henry George Mason, who was
then 24 years of age, and was the son of a respec-
table upholsterer and undertaker at Plumstead.
The defendant was then collector of taxes and
shortly afterwards he was appointed churchwarden.
Soon after the acquaintance commenced the de-
fendant proposed marriage. This offer was ac-
cepted. After the courtship had continued some
years; nothing having occurred to induce the young
woman or her mother to suppose that the defendant
had any but the most honourable intentions, he
induced Miss Allan to go to a tavern at Shooter's-
hill and there effected her ruin. He afterwards
admitted his conduct to her mother, and promised
to marry the girl without delay. He consented to
the banns being published, but put off the perform-
ance of his promise on various pretences till a child
was born, and then he positively refused to perform
his engagement.
Mrs. Eliza Allan—l am the plaintiff. I have 10
children, of whom three are daughters. The de-
fendant made the acquaintance of my daughter al
year after I went to Plumstead, and lie continued
his visits down to 185. In 1859 my daughter
was living with me, and assisted in the household
work, and she also worked for wages at needlework.
In August, 1559, one of my daughters, Mrs. Bur-
ridge, made a communication to me. and in come-
quence I wrote to the defendant asking him to tunic
and Lee me, and he came the next day. 1 told !dm
I was very much surprised at his conduct, as I had
always considered him a Very honourable man. Ile
said he was very sorry, it was all his fault, that
my daughter was not to blame, that he had very
great respect for her, he would do all in his power
to repair the wrong, and that he would marry her.
He seemed rather depressed as though it was not
convenient to marry. then ; and I said if it were
any convenience to him she could remain with me
till he could make a home for her. He said I had
removed all difficulty, and he would go and see my
daughter and arrange with her. My daughter was

Miss Jesse Allan—l am a daughter of the plain-
tiff. On Sept. 17 the defendant said to ine—" I
am going to marry your sister Ellen very shortly."
Mr. Tindal Atkinson addressed the jury in miti-
gation of damages, but he called no witnesses.
Mr. Justico Williams told the jury that in his
opinion the case was a bad one of its class, but their
business was simply to compensate the plaintiff,lor
the wrong done, and not to punish the defersaant.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—dama-
ges xl4O.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erle
and justices Byles and Keating.)
HOLDER. V. SOULSBY.
This case arose on demurrer to the plaintiff's
declaration. The plaintiff in his, first• count com-
plained that he had hired certain furnished apart-
ments in the house of the defendant, and brought
into them certain luggage; chattels, and effects,
and that the defendant, neglecting his duty,-did
not take such due and proper care of his said house
as a prudent owner would, by means whereof cer-
tain dishonest persons, in the absence of the plain-
tiff, were admitted into the defendant's house and
into the plaintiff's apartments, and took and carried
away the said luggage, chattels, and effects (Stile
plaintiff. The second count stated that the plaits
tiff was about to yield up the said apartments, arid
gave licence to the landlord, according to the usage
in such cases, to enter and show his apartments to
persons desirous of taking the lodgings, ;and that,
not taking proper care, some of the said persons
carried off certain of he chattels of the plaintiff
which were in the paid apartments. The.-defendant
pleaded that the first countrnot alleging the defen-
dant to be a common innkeeper, or any contract
for insurance against lose, or any personal' bailment
to the defendant, did not disclose any duty or lia-
bility on the part of 'defendant to take care of the
plaintiff's goods. There was a similar plea to the
second count. The plaintiff joined in demurrer.
Mr. Archibald appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
John Thompson for tke defendant. -
The Lord Chief Justice, in' delivering judgment,
said that, in his opinion, the judgment ought to be
for the defendant. Upon the first count the plain-
tiff claimed in the mere relation of a lodger, and
assumed that the law created a duty of taking due
and proper care of the goods of a lodger. He had
to ascertain whether there was any duty by law
cast on the landlord of a lodginghouse to take care
of the goods of the lodger, and no law, no treatise,
-no-judge had ever affirmed that proposition. In
" Cayle's case" (1, Smith's Leading Cases) the lia-
bility of innkeepers was restricted to innkeepers
keeping common inns for wayfarers to use, and
j the edges in that case laid down a distinct rule
that a lodginghouse-keeper letting- lodgings had no
such' liability; if' the.goods of a lodger are stolen in
his Louse ',llly anetherjodger, intieli less by a
stranger. 'Dig reason uf•the law was that a way-
faring guest, having-no means of knowing what
sort of persons might bsvaisout the inn, the law cast
the duty on the innkeeper •of taking care of the
goods of his guest ; and' he' was put on his guard,
......
and had a right to make: a charge as an insurer fur
insuring the safety of his guest's goods. The
reason of the law was perfectly intelligible, as it
was said that an innkeeper might co-opt rate with
dishonest persons against a wealthy traveller
and steal his goods from him. But none of these
reasons applied in reference to a lodger. The con-
tract must he taken as indicating the liability. Al-
though it was not contended that it was an absolute
duty cast on the lodginghouse-keeper, and that ho
was only bound to take due and proper care of his
lodger's goods, he was most particularly averse
from affirming that a lodginghouse-keeper
was liable to take due and proper care.
To say that every lodginghouse-keeper was
liable for the loss of goods if he did not take due and
proper care of them would be casting on him a re-
sponsibility that no man could see the result of.
Looking at the infinity of character of the persons
received into lodgings—persons of every grade—if
lodginghouse keepers were' to be held bound to take
due and proper care of their goods, or be liable for
them by an arbitrary verdict, it would be affirming
a proposition which would, to his mind, be a most
pernicious evil; The habits of lodginghouses must
vary according to circumstances. Near the seaside
to have the doors always locked would be a great
inconvenience. So it would be in a port where
lodgings were taken at short notice, and the lodgers
were continually going in and out. 'ln all these
eases, if the laW was that the lodginghouse-keeper
had to take care of the lodger's goods, it would be
a serious resporzsibility. Of course, the lodger
could hare the same care taken of his goods as
when passing along the streets he handed them
Over to a person to carry, by handing them over to
the landlord to care of. Cayle's case was a direct
authority against the plaintiff's claim. In the se-
cond count the lodger allowed his landlord to show
the apartments to persons who twanted to take
them. If- a person to whom the apartments
were shown should take the opportunity of taking
off the lodger's goods, was the lodginghouse-keeper
liable ? In his opinion, not. The lodger who had
given leave to have his rooms shown, in ordinary
prudence, would put articles of value out of sight,and
under the circumstances would place his goods under
the care of the landlord. There was much more
danger of evil from the lodger arranging with his
companions to take off goods from the lodgings under
pretence of looking at them, and then the lodger
charging the landlord with it, than that a landlord
should enter into such a conspiracy. lie did not in
this judgment in the smallest degree interfere with
the liability that would arise if there was any evi-
dence at all that the landlord, by gross misconduct,
had facilitated the loss, or had taken part in it. In
the present case the lodginghouse-keeper had done
his duty, and was called on to be responsible for
goods the loss of which was in no way his fault.
Mr. Justice Byles and Mr. Justice Keating con-
curred in their judgments. Judgment for the de-
fendant.

It is reported that the Government have signified
their willingness to negotiate for the Great Eastern to take
out the telegraph cable about to be laid between Singapore
and Rangoon—an opportunity which it is presumed the di-
rectors will be glad to seize on any reasonable terms.
