with the reduction of the standard to sft. 4in. for

of men to join at the headquarters of the various
divisions. The officers commanding the several
recruiting parties have been directed to use every
exertion to enlist men, in order that the additional
2,000 men by which the Royal Marines is to be
augmented may be speedily raised.

heavy surfs and broken water, published by the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution, were yester-
day received at Woolwich, and ordered to be circu-

are embodied in a small pamphlet, with which every
officer commanding her Majesty's line-of-battle ships
and transports is to be hereafter provided, and,
which has been approved by the Lords of the
Admiralty.

DEATH OF THE KING OF NAPLE

(From the Daily NewB.)

THE AR.7JT

The following circular, relative to the treatment
of volunteers from the Merchant Service to the
Royal Navy, has just been issued by the Admiralty.
In the present conjuncture it will be read with in-
terest by those anxious for the welfare of the ser-
vice

" Sir,—Her Majesty having been graciously
pleased to invite the sailors of the merchant service
to join her Majesty's. Navy, in order that this coun-
try and its commerce may be-adequately protected
under the varying circumstances of . a war in.
F.urop:', I am commanded by my Lords -COmmis-
sionors-of the Admiralty to- acquaint you that the
men who loyally accept the invitation deserve a
cordial reception from the profession that has sought
them.

It must be borne in mind that men, on first
joining the Royal Navy, will have to renounce
many old customs, and to adopt others which will
at first be irksome to them, but they will learn to
appreciate the order that is indispensable for the
comfort' and efficiency of large bodies of men, if the
change in their habits be effected by the officers
with temper and with judgment. If, on the con-
. ..

trary, an expectation prevail that these men will he
able suddenly to accommodate themselves to the
necessary restraints of a ship of war, and if a harsh
attempt be made to compel their immediate con-
formity to these restraints, they will feel they have
been unfairly and unwisely treated. Such a feeling
would be most unfortunate.

ese considerations alone would seem suffl-.
) secure to such seamen a proper solicitude
'or their contentment ; but the impression produced
upon the merchant seamen, onthe present occasion,
must have a very important influence, in times to
come. If they be not cordially received and kindly
treated, the unfortunate repugnance for the Navy
that so long prevailed will be strengthened and
perpetuated, to the irreparable injury of the na-
tional interests.

" The presence of these merchant seamen.iri her
Majesty's ships should not only be a source of pre-
sent strength, but, by securing their regard for the
service. it should be the tneans of spreading a simi-
lar feeling among the whole seafaring population of
our islands.
