Naval and Military Intelligence.

On Monday tho Board of Admiralty, consisting
of the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, M.P., First
Lord, Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Dlilne, Rear-
Admiral Sir John Hay, M.P., Mr. Charles Da
Cane, M.P., and Lord Henry G. Lennox, M.P.,
Secretary, accompanied by the Controller of the
Navy, the Controller of Victualling, and the Direc-
tor of Engineering and Architectural Works, paid
their annual visit to the Royal dock and victualling
yards, Deptford. They arrive] about half-past 11
o'clock, and were received by the Superintendent,
Capt. A. P. Eardlcy Wilmot, C.C., A.D.C., and
the principal officers of both yards. After remaining
about an hour in the Superintendent's office, trans-
acting official business, they proceeded to inspect the
ships building, which occupied some time. Two
composite gunboatS attracted the particular notice
of their Lordships--the Thistle and Boxer, twin
screws, intended for special service in the China Seas
under Sir Henry Keppel. They went over the slips
where the Philomel, Curlew, and Spartan gunvessels
are in course of building, inspected the large basin
recently cleared out and the caisson at its entrance
from the river, and passed through the timber

ground and tank store into the Victualling-yard.
The superintendent then conducted them over the
steam cooperage, where extensive improve:llolas are
being made, and through several of the manufac-
tories of provisions for the navy. Their Lordships
lunched with the Superintendent at his official resi-
dence, and took their departure for Greenwich
Hospital at half-past three.

The United States' n tvy practice squadron, miler
the command of Counuodo-e S. B. Luce, consisting
of the sailing corvettes Macedonian, 18 guns, Capt.
S. 0. Selfridge (flag); the Savannah, 12 guns, C tpt.
B. Taylor, and the Dale, fi guns, Capt. R. W.
Meade, arrived and anchored at Spithead yesterday
morning from Cherbourg. On anchoring, the
Commodore's ship exchanged salutes with the gar-
rison and the flagship of Admiral Sir Thomas S.
Pasley, the Port Admiral and Naval Commander-
in. Chief.

The turret ships Royal Sovereign, Capt. C. P.
Coles, C. 8., and \Vivern, Capt. Burgoyne, V.C.,
steamed out yesterday from Portsmouth into the
Channel for a day's practice with their 9-inch rifles,
and drill with turrets and gun-carriages.
The Nymphe, 4, unarmoured screw sloop, 1,084
tons, 300 horse power, Commander T. Barnadiston,
made her official trial of speed yesterday over the
measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, and
attained a mean speed of 13.066 knots with full-
boiler power, and 10.447 knots with half-boiler
power. The load on the safety-valve was 301 b. ;
mean revolutions of engines with full power, 102 ;
with half power, 78 ; the steam pressure, 28.51 b. ;
the vacuum; 26in. The engines were constructed
by Maudslay, Field, and Son on their three cylinder
principle, and are fitted with surface condensers
anal superheaters according to the new Admiralty
fashion, the terms now imposed upon contractors
being that all marine engines built for the Admi-
ralty shall exert, 'according to their indicator cards,
six times their nominal power. The Nymphe's en-
gines drive a two-bladed Griffiths screw, fitted with
Maudslay's shifting blades, of 15ft. diameter, and
set at a pitch of lOft. ; the cylinders of the engines
have a diameter of 55in., and a length of stroke of
30in.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty:—Staff Commander W. S. Luke
to the Fisgard, to take charge of Dock, for Ber-
muda; Dr. T. Browne, assist.-surd., to the St.
Vincent; S. Clements, chief engineer, to the Liffey;
J. T. William, chief engineer, to the Lord Warden ;
W. IL Lowman and E. Taylor, engineers, to the
Liffey ; E. Hawke, D. Wilson, and J. !Anderson,
engineers, to the Lord Warden ; A. Wilson, first-,
class assist.-engineer. to the Liffey; E. Grigg,
first-class assist.-engineer, to the Lord Warden ;
W. J. Owens, second-class assist.-engineer, to the
Liffey ; G. Fricker, second-class assist.-engineer to
the Lord Warden, and Francis Tunnard, nomi-
nated a naval cadet.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

-.4.-_

TIMES.—Lord Halifax met last night with a de-
served defeat. His proposed Resolution on going
into Committee, declaring the inadequacy of the
scheme of Redistribution contained in the Reform
Bill and the propriety of extending it, was rejected
by 100 to 59 votes. No intimation of opinion could
be more_decisive, and it must be observed that it
was based solely on the demerits of Lord Halifax's
motion. There was literally no argument whatever
against it. Lord Malmesbury, who in the enforced
absence of Lord Derby, represents the Government
in the House of Lords, rose to answer Lord Halifax;
slid he thought it convenient to reply to Lord Car-
narvon's and the Duke of Argyll's criticisms on the
consistency of the Ministry. He was pathetic
in repudiating the suggestion that he was an "orga-
nised hypocrite ;" but as to all Lord Halifax had
urged, Lord Malmesbury passed it by with the ob-
servation that we were near the end of July, and
great respect was due to the House of Commons.
This method of parrying an assault might not have
succeeded on other occasions, but no reply whatever
was needed to Lord Halifax. His arguments were
unanswerable, but his conclusions were unworthy
of acceptance. It is true—no one can deny it—
that-the Redistribution scheme of the bill is inade-
quate ; it is true—no one can deny it—that it
is desirable it should be extended ; but the for-
mal expression of these abstract truths, point-
ing to no definite line of action, indicating no
particular form of extension, was an act of self-
stultification from which the House of Lords very
properly recoiled, and the rejection of Lord Hali-
fax's resolution was due at once to their good sense
and their sincerity. It is much to be regretted that
at a later period of the evening the same prudence
was. not exhibited. Lord Cairns persuaded the
Lords to raise the qualification of the Lodger Fran-
chise from £lO to £l5. Lord Malmesbury, who
had so strenuously deprecated any difference of
opinion between the two Houses on the question of
Redistribution, assented to the alteration as a com-
promise, because in the Bill of 1859 a vote was
offered to the tenant, not of unfurnished lodgings
worth £lO a year, but of furnished lodgings worth
£2O. This decision, and the subsequent rejection
of the clause reducing the Copyhold and Leasehold
Property Franchises in counties, exhibit such a
spirit of elaborate trifling with the subject of Re-
form as to make the best friends of the Lords ap-
prehensive as to the wisdom of their future treat-
ment of the bill. It is pleasant to turn to the earlier
part of the evening. We hope the Government
having vindicated their honour will take the ques-
tion of Redistribution seriously in hand. Lord Hali-
fax and his Resolution are removed out of their way.
In spite of all his ingenuity—and he displayed
an unexpected power of manipulating his argu-
ments—he could not overcome the essential vice of
his proposal. Its abstract and unpractical character
was apparent in every turn of his speech. It was
plainly impossible that he should invite the Lords
to agree to his resolution without hinting at some
suggestions for carrying it into force, and the dex-
terity with which he contrived to refer to several
methods of Redistribution without
pledging himself
to any was admirable. He pillaged freely—.we are
afraid no other term can adequately describe his
method—from Mr. Laing And Lord Grey,

Whip naturally thought of kindling again the pas-
sionate affection of 1832 by raising a second time a
cry for Reform. This is Lord Malmesbury's philo
sophy of history, and it must be admitted that Lord
Halifax and his resolution do in some sort excuse it.
But we, have done with both ; Lord Halifax retires
discomfited fiom his attempt, and now that his in-
genuity and Lord 1)e Grey's fluent commonplace
have both proved ineffectual for any purpose, we
invite the Government once more "to dish the
Whigs." Let them take Redistribution in hand.
It was, in fact, admitted by Lord Malinesbury last
night that the present scheme is inadequate and a
makeshift, since he dwelt upon the advanced period
of the Session and the supposed compromise
in the House of Commons as the sole
reasons against enlarging it. These considerations
would at once become of no weight whatever if
the Government desired to make their bill per-
fect. The House of Commons has assented to the
present scheme • but every one who followed the
debates in the 'Lower house, and watched the
growth of opinion in it, Lis well. aware that the
Commons would accept with
..satisfaction such an
extension of the scheme as would give it the ,pro-
mise of permanence. There can be no doubt about

them if they resist,—the vote of last night offering

proposal be submitted to the House of Lords—and
.
in such a case delays must arise; but if, jealous of
the character of the bill and ambitious of making it
_ as perfect as -poible, they assume the initiative, if
• they boldly determine on carrying out those sug-
gestions of iliprovement, at which Lord II ilifax
only ventured to hint, they will find the two houses
ready to co-operate with them to the utmost, and
Ley would secure for thcmst,lves well-earned ap-
proval. The decision on Lord Halifax's resolution
has clearcl the way for the G ivernment. It has been
made petistollutltiiao, nti w
tnthael.onilisi
b 3 will eouatcn Luce no ab-
stract
parties to no motion
which can be construed as a party device ; but it has
been made equally plain that the authority and
opinion of the Upper House are do,:idc lay in favour
of au extension of the lledistribn t ion scheme. Lord
Malmesbury and the Duke of Boeliiegham were, in
fact, the only Peers who took part in the debate who
ventured to defend the existing clauses, and the let- .
ter contented himself with repeating Ins colleague's
apprehension that any alteration might 'produce a
collision between the two Houses of Parliament.
The unsubstantial character of this fear is apparent,
and when we contrast this argument with the rea-
sons for amending the scheme of Redistribution ad-
vanced from all quarters of the House we must see
how overwhelming is the balance in favourof exten-
sion. The disparity between the representative
power of the smallest boroughs and the largest,
anomalous now, must be aggravated by the adop-
tion of household suffrage, while the unrepresented
boroughs which were selected by the Government
in the first and second editions of their bill for en-
franchisement, but afterwards relegated to obscurity,
having had the privilege of representation held out to
them, must become impatient and clamorous for a
share in Parliamentary honours. Above all, the prin-
ciple of numbers, so formally approved in every clause
of the bill, cannot, as Lord Carnarvon pointed out,
ceased to stimulate. agitation. Boroughs have been -
deprived of one of two representatives on account of
inadequacy of numbers; boroughs have received a
third member on account of their numbers • counties
have been subdivided, and new boroughs Lye been
called into existence for a similar reason. The process
thus sanctioned cannot be arrested as long as flagrant
anomalies remain: It is incumileilt on.the Ministry
to recognise_ this truth, and to regulate in time the
forces they cannot overcome. They have an oppor-
tunity of doing all about which the ex-officials who
sit opposite to them talk, and of,' displaying a degree
of foresight of which too few of their antagonists
show any sign. The mischievous alteration of the
Lodger Franchise has damped our hopes, but we -
appeal to the calmer reason of the Miuistry. Lord
Halifax and Lord De Grey both took occasion last
night to maintain the usefulness of small constitu-
encies at the very time that their prime arguments
led them to the conclusion that small constituencies
must be extinguished, and they carefully abstained
from indicating any method of preserving the advan-
tages they now secure in the inevitable event of their
extinction. If the Government be content to let the
redistribution question be played with by their rivals
as the franchise has been, the result must be a whole-
sale disfranchisement of small boroughs without any
compensating improvements in our representative
system. There is a better alternative before them.
Let them follow the precedents shown in the con-
duct of the bill in the House of Commons. Let
them defer to the manifest sentiment of the Lords.
We do not speak of hereditary or official opponents.
Lord Lifford and Lord Romney, the Duke of Cleve-
land, Lord Stratford, Lord Harrowby, and Lord
Taunton joined iu expressing their sense of the in-
adequacy of the present scheme, and their wish that
the -Government would reconsider their decision
and dancere of authority is in perfect
accorda with the deliberate judgment of the
nation.

FA7AL CA7ASTROPIIE ON THE TYNE.

On Saturday afternoon a party of five men and
three young women engaged a small boat at Buck-
ham Quay, North Shields, and started down the
Tyne. Some of the party had been indulging rather
freely before setting off. On approaching the
inner pier on the south side, known as the
" Breaker," where a heavy swell was rolling, the
boat was observed to be proceeding in the direction
of . the broken water. On this being reached the
occupants seemed full of glee as their frail craft was
pitched to and fra. They were hailed from the
shore and cautioned, but-to no parpose. They then
commenced running the boat in the trough of the
sea, and while in the act of pulling the prow towards
the shore a tremendous sea caught her stem, lifting
her nearly perpendicular. She was then driven like
a rocket, scuddling on the crest of the wave, which
eventually broke, filling the boat and sinking it. In
a few seconds the boats reappeared bottom upwards,
and two men were seen clinging to it. Five pilots,
who from the ehurc, had seen, and InCieeft expeeLea,
the catastrophe, lost no time in launching a boat,
though, in consequence of the force of the waves,
they experienced great difficulty. They, however,
succeeded in saving two men, whom they took on
board. On the way back to the pier they picked up
the body of one of the men, and a little further on
they recovered the body of one of the w
the scene of
omen. Al-
though a number of boats were soon at
the calamity no other bodies were recovered, and it
is supposed that they must have been carried out

to sea.
The following is the list of those who met with
an untimely death :—Mary Fitzgerald, Elizabeth
Clarke, Elizabeth Stewart--all and of North Shields.
Robert Higgins, John Keating, Thomas Laird,
all seamen of North Shields. Thomas Wilson and
Charles Palmeri, also seamen, were the only sur-

. vivors.
The unfortunate man Higgins was an old fiddler,
• and was well known inrNorth Shields. When the
boat started he was much the worse for liquor.
Charles Palmeri, one of the in=n who was saved by
clinging to the boat, states that immediately-he fou
thond
the boat was sinking he leapt out. Oa gaining
• surface the next thing he saw was the boat capsized
and his companions struggling together. One of the
girls (he thinks it was Elizabeth Clarke) seized hold
of him by the shoulders and held on for a few
seconds, when a wave came and washed her
away. He then made for the boat, and caught
hold as it camo bottom up. The other survivor,
Thomas Wilson, got hold of the boat about the same
time. IVhen the accident occurred they were
"larking" among themselves by running the boat
among the breakers. Some of the girls begged the
men not to go out so Ltr, while others were very
much afraid and were crying. One of the pilots
who saw the boat sail down the Narrows &Lys that
when it got among the broken water he and a num-
ber of his companions were looking every moment
for the boat capsizing. With painful anxiety they
watched the motions of the boat among the broken
sea. Several could not bear to look at the boat,
and walked away " sickened" and horrified at the
sight. lininediately the boat was seen to lift and
and drive before the sea it was said she would fill
wi It water. Scarcely a minute elapsed before she
disappeared. The occupants of the boat were for a
moment hid from sight. A rush was then made by

the pilots towards the water's edge, and a coble
launched. In running down the st.tep from the
Beacon one of those hastening to the rmne, Henry
Stephenson, fell and struck against some stones. So
violent was the blow that the palM of his hand was
split up the middle and some of his fingers bent
r►ght back. This did not deter the galla►►t fellow
from accomplishing his purpose. The young woman
whose body has been recovered was enciente. Site
appeared to be between 18 and 20 years of age. The
other victims were also young.

SINGULAR PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—On Monday an
amateur pedestrian named Collings undertook for a stake
of £2O to run over six bridges crossing the Thames within
ono hour, to commence and finish on the Surrey side of the
river. The start was made by running over Vauxhall
Bridge and back over Westminster, and then Wat Moo,
Blackfriars, and Southwark bridges in their order, and
Collings finally completed bis feat by running. over Lon-
don Bridge into Surrey, and pulled up with seven or eight
minutes to spar:. The distance actually covered is com-
puted at not less than eight miles.
