I Secretary Robeson has issued the following cir-
cular:—" To make the navy popular with seamen, and to
overcome, as far as may be, the difficulty of obtaining men
who will make it their permanent home, it is necessary
that they should never be needlessly denied such indulg-
ences as may be consistent with the efficiency and discip-
line of the service. Experience shows that while those
officers who indulge their men with liberty, when by
good conduct they have entitled themselves to it, make
the service popular, those who unnecessarily restrain
them afford grounds for discontent instead of good con-
duct, and shut the doors of the navy against that class
of seamen most valuable to it. Liberty o* shore should
be used as an encouragement and reward for good con-
duct. It is therefore suggested that hereafter com-
manding officers stall give to such of their men,
as by
uniform good conduct deserve it, every indulgence in this
respect compatible with the performance of the necessary
dupes and the ma'ntenance of discipline on board their
ships. Commanding officers are directed, instead of with-
holding all the pay of the men until the end of the cruise,
when it is liable to be spent in a short time. to allow such
of their crews as desire to draw it one-fifth of their
monthly pay at the end of each month. Attention to these
matters will, it is believed, do much to make the service
popular, and, when understood, to encourage enlistments.
The Department is also of the opinion that the custom of
taking away the ray of senmen by summary court-martial
is an injudicious one, and calculated to punish tho families
of the offenders rather than themselves. Summary court-
martials aro intended to punish cases not serious enough
for the attention of a General Court, and there are a variety

1311EAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM-
, FOUTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara-
tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service
Gazette remarks:—" The singular success which gr.Epps
attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has
never boon surpassed by any experimentalist. By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plication of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk.
