ADMIRALTY REFORM.

" Nauticus," writing to the Star upon the new
Admiralty circular, expresses much disappointment
at finding that the old system of divided responsi-
bility is to continue. The circular uses for
the first time the words " The First Lord
and the Board of Admiralty," so that there
are two masters, not one. The members of the Board
change with the Ministry, and consequently are
obliged to gain their knowledge from the heads of
the severe' departments. To remedy all this,
" Nauticus " proposes that the First Lord should
alone be responsible, and issue his orders after the
fashion of a Secretary of State, being assisted by
two secretaries, one political and one permanent.
The work of the Admiralty should, he thinks, be
divided into four great divisions : 1. To construct and
repair the ships. 2. To store and provision. 3. To equip
and man them. 4. To keep the accounts. The head of
each of these departments should be permanent, and
these officers could form a council to advise the First
Lord on practical questions. In the dockyards this
reformer would like to introduce the competitive
system, and to require eacb, yard to send in its sepa-
rate account of work done annually to Parliament.
By these means the losses entailed by the ever-
changing policy of an irresponsible Board and the
want of a well-defined system in the dockyards would
be avoided.

MISIE RAILWAYS.

At last a correspondent of the Times is allowed to
answer the arguments of others against the acquisi-
tion of Irish railways by the State. These arguments
are to the effect :that by doing so the Government
woiild be striking a blow at " private enterprise,"
they would not be able to manage a railway, and the
public would thus be needlessly burdened. To this
the Marquis of Clanricarde answers : Private enter.
prise has hitherto meant public inconvenience—he
might have said private ruin ; it has entailed on Great
Britain a cost of £500,000,000 for £300,000,000
worth of railways, and has left a number of companies
struggling in debt, while high fares make the public
grumble. In no other country is such a system
perpetrated, and even in our colonies we carry out a
different plan. Why, then, should Ireland alone be
made to suffer, her trade to dwindle, her locomotion
to be stopped, and her civilisation to be impeded ;
and this because the Commission may have made a
mistake in comparing Ireland and Belgium, which it
the only argument which can be advanced ?

LOADOIV, SA7URDAY, JAN. 23, 1869.

Reductions seem to be the order of the day, and so
eager are the new Ministers to show that the cry of
" extravagant expenditure" was not got up for elec-
tion purposes that it is difficult to follow them in
their sweeping reforms, or to guess in what new direc-
tion their energy will turn. Opinions will differ,
of course, as to the advisability of some of the
schemes, and discussion is sure to be rife on the sub-
ject of administrative reform altogether. This mat-
ters very little, neither will it signify if prejudices are
offended, or pet projects marred, as the advanta4e of
the community must be ranked before the privileges of
the select circles, and the claims of the many should
give way to the monopoly of the few. But some claims
present themselves to notice that are well worthy of
attention, and, quite irrespective of party feeling or
political prejudice, appeal to all who value justice and
respect the interest and welfare of all classes of so-
ciety. In their•haste to cut down, the new heads of
departments seem very apt to let their zeal out-ru❑
their discretion, and to commit the error of letting the
end justify the means. The chief defects of the new
system of retrenchment that has been inaugurated
are its inconsistency and oppres,ion. Those who sit
in high places and arrogate.to themselves the right of
settling the affairs of the'nation should exercise fore-
thought and judgment, and remember that if their
position confers upon them great privileges, is also
entails serious responsibilities. There is good reason
to fear that the lesson has yet to be learned, or if
it has ever been acquired, that it has been forgotten
by the members of the new Cabinet and their subor-
dinates. They seem to be making a forced march of
their retrenchment undertaking, and those who can-
not keep up to the required pace must fall by the
roadside and not impede their more energetic com-
panions. The folly of this proceeding equals its
harshness, and we may well inquire the meaning of
the policy that attacks the mole-hills and leaves the
mountains untouched. 'fake care of the pence and
the pounds will take care of themselves, seems to
be the motto of those enthusiasts who have taken up
the cause of economy with such might and main.
It sounds very wul to talk of cutting down this use-
less appendage So custom, and m;king away with
that abuse, but the question is how far will all these
alterations affect the int,,rests of those who are

to move in accordance with the ru'ing pas-
sion of tie day. The chances and change
of this mortal life are spoken of by th(
philosopher, and considered by the preacher, bu
few ray much heed to them i❑ the abstract.
They seem likely, however, to become very unplea-
iant truths instead of airy nothings to the employe,
of the Government offices, and the departments of
the Civil Service. They do not seem inclined to b.
nameless martyrs and indignant remonstrancer3, and
bitter complaints may be heard in all directions; but

The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.
The Society's Report (of which a contributor writes, "I
never read a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my
sympathy")

The Society is under the presidency of the Earl of
Shaftesbury. Its bankers are Messrs. Barclay and Co.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

The intelligence of the Con ferenceproceedings is
becoming contradictory. It is certain that the Turkish
Ambassador has signed the protocol, that M. Walewski
has been sent to Athens to learn the decision of the Greek
Government, and that the Conference will not dissolve
until a reply has been received, But the terms on which
the assent of Turkey was obtained are involved in some
doubt. The Times correspondent telegraphs that the
declaration was signed without any reservation. The
Standard holds that a most important saving clause was
appended. It says :—" Amongst the reservations made
by the Turkish Plenipotentiary, when he signed the final
protocol, it is mentioned that the Porte shall act as an
independent Power, and without any interference from
the Great Powers, in case Greece should on any future
occasion transgress the principles of international law
laid down in the said protocol. These reservations are
included in the protocol."

High praise is given to the ability and tact displayed ny
the Italian Minister in these negotiations. Instea iof the
voice of Italy being the most feeble in the Conference, the
Chevalier di Nigra has rendered it one of the most influ-
ential. This able diplomatist has several times provided
his colleagues with the solution of a diffie,ulty without,
says the IncUpendance Beige, any pretence or obtrusiveness.
Hobart Pasha has announced the blockade of Crete in an
official document, notifying that every vessel violating the
blockade shall be confiscated. The Levant Herald is appre-
hensive of a serious rupture between Turkey and Persia.
The Ambassador of the Porte was so offensively treated
that he has returned to Constantinople.

FLORENCE, Jan. 22 (Evening.)
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-
day the Ministers of the Interior and Finance re'
plied to the speeches made yesterday by members
of the Opposition against the measures takenll the
Government to enforce the application of the grist
tax. Count Cambray Digny, the Minister of
Finance, said that it was necessary that the tax
should be rigidly levied, as otherwise the authority
of the Government would be lost. It was equal
necessary as an important financial resource.
Signor Ferrari, of the Left, proposed the follow.'
ing motion, supported by 80 deputies :
" The Chamber, disapproving the conduct
of the Ministry in applying the grist tax contrary
to the terms of the bill, and consequently violating
the Constitution, passes to the order of the day."
The vote on the motion will take place to-

CANADA.

The Hudson's Bay Company has sent a vague reply to
the despatch of the Imperial Government relative to the
incorporation of the great north-west territory in the
Dominion of Canada. The Company does not absolutely
refuse to accede to the hard terms proposed, but it does
not wholly abandon its fond hope of a money
payment. The fur merchants expected a large
sum in hard cash for "their" territory ; the Canadian
Government offers them only a portion of the land sales,
the minimum price being fixed at is. per acre, and a pro-
portion of the proceeds of gold licenses. The unhappy
Company expected a million at least. This vague answer
leaves opportunity for further negotiation, though of what
kind it is difficult to imagine. The Canadian delegates,
it may be positively affirmed, will not give way ; there-
fore, the Company must.
Smallpox is very prevalent just now at Montreal. The
Toronto Globe says that the experience of this visitation
is a decisive testimony in favour of vaccination. Where
vaccination has been adopted scarcely any deaths have
occurred ; but where the precaution has been neglected-
-1 and the neglect has been very general—the ravages of the
disease have been very serious.

CONSERVATISM IN SCOTLAND.—A large and en-
thusiastic meeting was held at Glasgow on Wednesday
night, when stops were taken to organise a Working

AN EMPTY TRAIN.—On the arrival of the morn-
ing train from London at Warrington on Thursday, rather
late, it was found there were no passengers going on to
Liverpool, and therefore the train did not proceed. The
London papers arrived in Liverpool about 3.30. The delay
caused some alarm. •

THE MILD WINTER.—I cannot conceive what is
coming to the weather. I suppose the clerk thereof is in-
disposed, and cannot attend to his work. Warm Januaries
like the present are by no moans desirable. During
the present month the temperature has been unusually
high. The thermometer marked at Vienna, on the 7th
of December, 15.6 centigrade (60 Fahrenheit) above
zero. So high a temperature at this period of the year
has not been observed in that city since 1775. Warm
Januaries have, however, occurred before. We read that
the January of 1662 was as warm as the middle of May
or June, so that a fast was proclaimed, and prayers read in
the churches for more seasonable weather. Apples were
growing at the time. My own opinion is that the Gulf
Stream has got into a kink, an the sailors say, somewhere.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS.

The appointment of chaplains to the Roman
Catholic prisoners was considered by the Middlesex
magistrates on Thursday. Lilie the Aldermen of
the City of London, these worthy gentlemen were
most anxious that the Establishment should hold its
own in the gaols. To pay a " Romish priest" would
be to allow "a foreign prince" to triumph in these
dominions. Themagistrates are "Protestants" against
Roman Catholic assumptions, and so they would not
provide any kind of religious instruction for persons
who hold the faith of Rome. Though pure doctrine
may thus flourish in our gaols, there is great room
for the development of Christian charity on the
bench.

THE ROYAL TOUR,

Royalty can command almost everything except seclusion.
The Prince and the Princess of Wales are attempting a
quiet tour of Europe on their way to the Nile ; but their
incog. only partially protects them. They are assailed at
every capital by royal and diplomatic, if not by popular
receptions. At Vienna they were met by the Austrian
Emperor, several archdukes, and the British and Danish
embassies. The Emperor, who wore the uniform of a
field-marshal, with the Grand Cross of the Order of the
Bath, kissed the hand of the Princess when helping her
out of the carriage, and conducted his guests to the Hof-
burg. What is called a family party took place later in
the evening.
