"My dear Sir,—l should have wig .vered your note
to the 12th ere this, but of late I have been more than
usually busy. I like what you propose ; it does you cre-
dit, and in my opinion the idea of .conferring a uniform
on the officers of the mercantile marine as an acknow.
ledgment of their services during the late war would be
attended with the most beneficial results to all concerned,
and, when stamped by Royal authority, would I am sure
be duly appreciated and universally adopted. It could
not fail to raise the tone of the service, induce a superior
class of men to follow it as a profession, and reform the
present system, greatly to the advantage of the public
generally and the shipowners in particular, while it
would hold out an inducement to individual exertions
should the country again require the services of the mer-
cantile navy—a navy by the way (and I say it without
the slightest reflection upon your own service) which
has done much to make England great and wealthy,
and which is a strong arm for her protection in the hour
of need.

" The description of uniform would require some con-
sideration, and is of more importance than may at first
appear, as anything tending to a servile demonstration
would at once defeat the W-iject in slow. It should be
simple, but of consequence ; and ratqer be courted as a
unilorin than avoided as a list ry.
" I should not think it ad‘isable to the privi-
-I"ge to those officers only who have passed the examina-
tions.' There are many most able and superior men in
the service now who were c)ininanderm before Mr.
Labouchere's Act came into operation; and who have
consequently not passed an examination.

" While upon this point I may as well state what has
repeatedly come under my notice. The term master,'
ae np plied indiscriminately to all men in command, is
object►onable. It is seldom voluntarily adopted, and too
often made use of as a term of disparagement. 1 would
suggest, therefore, that it w•mld be much to the advan-
tage of the service were the appellation of commander, in
conjunction with that of master, given officially to those
officers who bad obtained a certain proficiency in their
profession, to be determined by the Board of Trade, as
an inducement to knowledge.
"These are my candid opinions' as you desire, and
you may make any use of them you please. If you think
they are sound, and the Government likely to adopt
them, I will be happy to aid you in carrying them out.
"By the way, while the country is disposed to mark
in general terms the services of the mercantile marine
during the late war, do you not think it would be but
fair to officers in that service if the names of those who
particularly exerted themselves were brought prominently
forward, and a return of such could doubtless beobtaived
from the official records of the principal agents of trans-
ports in the Black Sea.—Very faithfully yours,
"Admiral Beechey, &c." " W. S. LINDS,IY.

EXECUTION AT TAUNTON.

The execution of Thomas Nation, convicted at
the lato Somerset Assizes of the murder of John
Alpin, near Wiveliscombe, in December last, took
place yesterday morning in front of the county gaol
at Taunton.

The prisoner, who was only 22 years of age, has
had good general health since his conviction, has
taken his food as usual, and, with the exception of
an occasional depression of spirits, has not mani-
fested much anxiety at his approaching fate. If
any hopes of a reprieve or commutation of his sen-
tence had existed, they were dispelled on Saturday
last, when Mr. Taunton, the prisoner's legal ad-
viser, received a communication from the 1-lotne-
office, in reply to a memorial addressed on legal and
other grounds for a mitigation of the punishment,
in which Sir George Grey stated that he bad con-
ferred with Chief Justice Cockburn, before whom
the prisoner was tried, and that he saw no reason
for interfering with the course of justice.
Since Nation's conviction, the ministrations of
the Rev, R. Maut, the gaol chap!ain, have been un-
ceasing, and, at tee prisoner's own desire he has
been visited by the Rev. J. Bere, the minister of
Upton (Nation's parish) ; the Rev. J. Lewellen, of
Wiveliscombe ; and the Rev. F. J. Smith, incum-
bent of Trinity, Taunton. His father and brother
also bad interviews with the culprit on Monday
and Thursday last, but on none of these occasions
could he be induced to make any confession of his
guilt. He admitted that be deserved his fate for
other crimes, but resolution denied that lie was the
murderer of Aplin.
On Sunday the condemned sermon was preached
by the Rev. R. Mant, from Colossians i., 28. The
prisoner paid marked attention to the discourse,
and appeared to be impressed by some portion of it.
Yesterday (Tuesday) morning the Under-Sheriff,
Mr. J. Nicholets, attended at the gaol at 7 o'clock,
and shortly afterwards, the convict, who had pre-
viously been visited by the chaplain, attended Di-
vine service in the gaol chapel, at which all the
other prisoners were present. After the service,
and the other prisoners had been withdrawn from
the chapel, the sacrament was administered, and,
at a few minutes before 8, the culprit, accompanied
by the chaplain, the governor (Mr. W. Oakley) and
several officers, proceeded to one of the ward rooms,
where the prisoner was pinioned by Calcraft, the
executioner.

The procession, headed by the chaplain readier,
the burial service, then moved towards the scaffold°'
which had been erected at the north-west end of the
gaol. The prison hell announced that the last sen-
tence of the law was about to be carried into effect..
The turnkeys mounted the platform, followed by
Calcrafc, next to whom came the prisoner (dressed
in a gamekeeper's dark jacket, a crimson waistcoat,
and drab breeches and gaiters), who walked to the
drop with an unfaltering step. The prisoner's bead
and face were quickly covered with a white cap ;
he was placed under the beam, the rope was ad-
justed, the executioner and his a.ssistAnts withdrew
from the platform, the bolt was witlicirawn,,. and,
after several convulsive struggle., Thomas Nation
was dead.
The crowd who witnessed the execujea. was va-
riously estimated at from 6,000 to B,ooe, almost-ex-
clusively of the lower orders.' Their behaviour was
for the most part becoming, and after the wretched
culprit ceased to exist they quietly dispersed,.

the pdpular heart at large, and that the Govern-
ment could not be placed in the hands of any one
of thorn with any a surance of permanency. The
very causes which have so signally contributed to
the late popularity of Lord Palmerston have de-
tracted from their estimation. No mistake that
the Palmerston Ministry may have made in respect
to China can affect the opinion entertained of the
universally greater mistake of its adversaries in re-
spect to Russia. Hatred to Russia still remains
the dominant feeling of the British people ; and
among all British statesmen there is no embodi-
ment of that feeling to be found like Lord Palmer-
ston. From 1830 down his leading idea has been
the expediency of an alliance between France and
England, to make common opposition to Russia ;
and it was undoubtedly his knowledge or full be-
lief, that Louis Napoleon would favour such an
alliance that caused Palmerston to hail with
such satisfaction his coup d'etat and accession
to the supreme power. Lord Palmerston is
the fittest of all Englishmen to represent and
lead the country in its anti-Russian policy,
and this incontestable fact will give him. a pro-
digious advantage over his opponents. Not
one of them would be depended upon for retaining
and upholding the French alliance, or carrying out
any effectual system or policy against the restless,
conquest-making spirit of Russia. Palmerston can
be implicitly relied upon in that regard, and it will
serve as an almost irresistible argument in his fa-
vour.

The antagonists of the Palmerston Ministry will
doubtless wage their part of the conflict with all
the energy of which they are capable ; but we can-
not help thinking that, numerous as they are, and
forwidatle in intellectual power, they are yet des-
tined to be worsted, and to find themselves in a
very decided minority in the next Parliament.

EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES.
• The meeting was specially convened to consider e
report from the Co, 'Vera of Works and Improve-
ments on the subj( r';" communisation from Mr.
Li owl Gisborne, C. E., respecting a design for the
embankment and improvement of the Thames, of
which lie is a promoter ; and on a memorial, from
Messrs. Loder, Jackson, and Bird, the promoters
of an undertaking fur the promotion of an embank-
ment on the north side of the Thames, between
Southwark and Westminster bridges, and for the
. construction of a railway and other works.
The report of the committee, of which Mr.
Thwaites, Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Josiah Wilkinson
were the constituent members, set forth the follow-
ing objects as those with reference to which the
embankment of the Thames ought to be carried out,
viz.: To improve the Thames as a navigable river,
having due regard to the safety of existing
bridges. To increase the wharfage accommodation,
and improve the means fer the shipment and
delivery of goods. To improve the Thames in a
sanitary point of view. To remedy the present
unsiehtly condition of the banks of the Thames,
and afford facilities, by means cf architectural tm-
bell'shment, for improving their appearance. To
open up a new thoz oughfare between the East )rn.
and Western parts of Lendon ; and lastly, to faci-
litate the construction of a low level intercepting
sewer. It is proposed by the plan of Mr. Gisborno
to build quay walls on both sides of the Thames,
to confine the waterway of the river to a width of
700 felt. For the accommodation of the present
wharves floating basins will be constructed of a mi-
nimum width of 100 feet, to remain :open at least
, three hours each tide. The quay wall on the Mid-
dlesex side is to extend from Westminster-bridge
to London-bt idge, and will be 21 feet above Trinity
high-water mark, to avoid the necessity of draw-
bridges over the entrances to the tidal basins. At
that level, and as far as St. Paul's wharf, it is in.
tended to have a covered esplanade for foot passen-
gers. The esplanade will be next the river, and
20 feet in width, along which the ground for b 0
feet back will be let or building, except at parti-
cular points, where buildings would be objection-
able, such as Whitehall-gardens, &c. It appears
by the drawings and report that the buildings are
intended to be 70 feet above the esplanade, and 91.
feet above Trinity high-water mark. Parallel with
the esplanade, and extending from Hungerford.
bridge t o London-bridge, it is proposed to construct
a railway. Next tne railway there is to be a street,
varying from 90 to 40 feet in width, commenc;ng
at Westminster, and terminating near St. Paul's,
which street is designed under each of the present
bridges, and have approaches to the main thorough-
fares. The remainder of the embankment, having
an average width of about 65 feet, will be let fur
building ground, suitable for large stores, &c.
Opposite Whitehall, the Temple-gardens, &c., and
in other parts, the quay wall is to be built only
four feet above Trinity high-water mark, and the
esplanade, railway, &c., are to be- carried on
columns 25 feet apart, so as not to exclude the
view of the river, or interfere with existing wharves,
between a point near St. Paul's and London-
bridge, and for this distance an additional width
of about 4) feet will be added to the present wharves.
On the Surrey side the quay wall is to extend fie m
Lambeth Palace to London-bridge ; for the greater
part of which distance it will be about 21 teat in
height above Trinity high-water mark. Next the
river a road, 70 feet wide, will be formed, along
which the ground is to be appropriated to the erec-
tion of large stores, shops, &c. At each of the
bridges it is proposed to divide the road into two,
one half forming an approach to the bridge, the
other accommodating the through traffic and pass-
ing underneath. It is stated thet the works can be
executed for less than 2,000,0001. ; and it is calcu-
lated that the annual ground rents of shops, war ()-
houses, wharves, &c., with the receipts from the
railway, will amount to 103,0001. The promoters
offer to apply to Parliament for a private bill ena-
bling them to carry out their objects, if this board
will guarantee them 4 per cent, upon a capital of
2,000,0001., secured on the metropolitan rates; the
guarantee to take effect only on the completion of
the works, and to be limited to making up a net
revenue equal to 4 per cent. upon 2,000,0001., in
case the revenue derivable from the ground-rents
and railway should prove insufficient ; the enjoy-
ment of the ground-rents by the company to be
limited to 60 years, and half the surplus profits t e-
yowl 5 per cent, to be handed over to this board in
furtherance of public improvements. The objects of
the Thames Embankment and Railway are to con-
struct an embankin.eut and other works, compris-
ing floating and tidal docks on the north side of the
Thames, between Southwark and Westminster-
bridges, and to form a public road and footways to
be carried on a viaduct along that part of the em-
bankment between Whitehall-place and Charing-
cross, and Chatham-place, Blackfriars, having com-
munications with some of the streets leading out of
the Strand. It has also for its object the laying down
of a railway at a low level within the line of embank-
ment from Greenhithe, near Southwark-bridge, to
Manchester-buildings, near Westminster-bridge, and.
aqueducts are to be carried° ver the railway, to allow
of the ingress of craft from the river. The plan origi-
nally included an extension to the Greycoat Hospital,
near thenew Victoria-street, to join the Westminster
Terminus Railway, but in consequence of the aban-
donment of a large portion' of the latter scheme by
its promoters it is understood that this part of the
undertaking is relinquished or suspended. It is
urged by the promoters that an intercepting sewer
might be advantageously erected, in connection
with the works of the embankment, at a greatly
reduced cost; as the dams which must necessarily be
used for theconstructionof theembankment, would
for a considerable portion of the distance be avail-
able for the construction of the sewer. The estimate
for the contemplated works is 583,7701., and the
promoters look to the railway as the source front
which their profits are to be derived. With regard,
to the improvement of the Thames as a navigable
river, the committee are of opinion that, providsd
the width of waterway be not (I,minishecl below
that tiow existing at the narrowest part of the river
a little above Loudon-bridge, viz., 700 feet, the va-
riations in the designs before them are not such
as injuriously to affect the navigation. As re-
gards wharfage accommodation, they consider Mr.
Gisborne's plan superior to that of Messrs. Bird,
Loder, and Jackson. With reference to the im-
provement of the river banks, it is to be observed,
that, as by Mr. Gisborne's plan it is proposed to
erect buildings in some instances 91 feet abovehigh
water, and 70 feet above the Esplanade, the com-
mittee consider that this would involve an obstruc-
tion to light and air, and forth an objection to Mr.
Gisborne's plan which does not apply to the plan
of Messrs. Bird, Loder, and Jackson. Both schemes,
in proportion to their extent, satisfy the fifth con-
dition, viz., the opening up a new thoroughfare
between the eastern and westein portions of the
metropolis. And both schemes ptesent equal facili-
ties for the accomplishment of the sixth object,
viz., that of facilitating the construction of a low
level interceptine. sewer. The committee think it
necessary to add,' that, in their opinion, the promo-
ters of each of the designs under discussion have
prejudiced the efficiency and value of those de-
signs as works of public utility, by seeking to
render them commercially remunerative ; and
they consider that the public advantage should be
the primary object in a work of such magnitude
and of so peculiar a character as the embankment
of the Thames.
Mr. WRIGIIT, in a speech lightly touching the
several topics of the report, moved its adoption,
explaining that the promoters of both schemes were
going before Parliament, and that her Majesty's
Government had been desirous of having the opi-
nion of the board on thy subject.
Mr. DIXON seconded the motion.
Mr. LESLIE opposed the motion, stating, on the
authority of Captain Burstall's report, that the pro-
moters of the schemes proposed to narrow the
stream just where the scour was greatest.
Mr. WARE moved as an amendment, that the
report be referred back to the committee to consi-
der it, together with that of Captain Burstall.
Mr. Hows seconded the amendment.
Mr. TURNER and Major LYON were of opinion
that there was nothing in Capt.' Burstall's report,
for which the board ought to delay its decision.
Mr. Deputy HARRISONspoke in favour of the
embankment.
On a division there were for the amendment 3 :
against 25. The original motion was then put an
;greed to.
,Mr. WRIGHT then moved—" That as the con-
trol of the banks of the Thames is vested in the
pr the Corporation of London, or both of
Crown Government and the Corpora-
them, her el‘fej,esty's

posed in the bye-laws, but it was devoid of putilio
intm§t.
