THE NAVY.—In 1858-59 (or for the service of
that year), 52,000 men were voted by Parliament for the
fleet—viz., 30,900 seamen, 6,100 boys, and 15,000 marines,
besides a Coastguard of 7,380 men and boys. In 1857-58
the number voted for the fleet was 48,000, and 2,000 seamen
in addition for nine months, with 8,700 Coastguardsmen.
In 1856-57, 76,000 seamen, boys, and marines were voted
for three months, and 56,000 for nine months ; and in 1855-
56, 70,000 were voted—viz., 44,000 seamen, 10,000 boys,
and 16,000 marines. In the year 1815, 70,000 seamen and
marines were voted, and 20,000 for 10 lunar months ; and
since that period the total number of seamen and marines
has varied from 19,000 (1817) to 76,000 (1856-57). In 1835-
36 (Mr. Cobden's model year), 15,500 seamen were voted,
with 2,000 boys and 9,000 marines, making a total of 26,500.
In the following year the number was increased to 33,700 ;
in 184142 it rose to 43,000 ; and it then continued nearly
stationary at 39,000 to 40,000 until the year 1853-54, when
the total number was fixed at 45,000, from which it rose to
63,500, 70,000, and 76,000,
