Commander Charles Gerrans Phillips (1848) and
Lieutenant Alfred Royer (1841) were appointed to
study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard on
Friday last, and have this day joined and commenced
their studies.

The freight-ship Lord Bentinck embarked 1 ser-
geant, 2 corporals, and 25 privates of the Royal
Sippers and Miners from the hund-quarterS at Wool-
wich on Saturday last, under the charge of Lieu-
tenant Chesney, Royal Engineers, and lift the same
afternoon for New Zealand. Four gunners of the
Royal Artillery embarked at the same time for the
same destination to fill up the detachment of Artillery
at that station.

guarded by a company of pensioners from Tilbury-
fort, for Van Diemen's Land. ,

for the Arctic expedition, never commanded the
Virago, as has been stated by a contemporary, and,
consequently, Lieutenant B. Cator never served with
him in that vessel. Captain, then Commander, Om-
manney, commanded the Vesuvius steam-sloop on the
Mediterranean station, for three years, but Lieutenant
Cator never served in that vessel.

ALLOWANCE of SPIRITS in the NAVY.
The Committee appointed to inquire into the expe-
diency of-diminishing the present quantity of spirits
served out doily to the sealUsn in the royal navy
.have made their report to the Secretary cf the
Admiralty, concluding with the following, as a sum-
mary of what they propose :-
1. That the present allowance of spirits or wine be
reduced one-half. _ _

2. That the remaining portion be issued at dinner

3. That admirals, captains, and ward-room officers
shall not receive any payment for the half ration of spirits
taken from them.

4. That mates, second masters, surgeons, assistants,
and clerks shall receive compensation at the present
savings price for the half allowance of the spirits to
be reduced. _ _

5. That midshipmen, cadets, and boys who do not
receive a ration of spirits, be paid a compensation
equal to the " sayings price " of the present whole
allowance.
6. That warrant officers, working petty officers, able
and ordinary seamen, and non-commissioned officers and
privates of marines, shall receive for their half allowance
a compensation payment in money of 3s. 6d. per man,
per calendar month.
7. Thatsecond-class ordinary seamen and landsmen be
allowed 2s. 6d. per man, per calendar month.
8. That me* wishing to give up the reduced allow-
ance shall receive a further compensation, equal to
the savings price for such period as they may think
proper.
9. That no raw spirits be issued to any one, except
under special circumstances, at the discretion of the
captain.
10. That in cases of persisting drunkenness, a deduc-
tion, or discontinuance be made for a time in the compen-
sation allowance.

their growing wages, be limited to its. per month.
11. That the police on board her Majesty's ships be

families, viz., 11. is. 6d. per month for an able seaman.
13. That the Admiralty cireular to the fleet, of the
21st July, 1846, respecting provisions, be brought under
review, for the purpose of a more satisfactory adjustment
of the scale.

14. That the proposed measure take immediate effect
as regards all officers, and all future entries; and that, as
regards ships in commission, their Lordships fix a con•
venient day for carrying the measure into effect. But
men now in the navy should, in the meantime, have the
option of taking advantage of the proposed compensation
allowance.

The Committee cannot close their report on the im-
portant questions referred to their consideration without
expressing their hope, and confident expectation, that
the measures they have proposed will be conducive to
the credit of the British navy, and t3nd to fulfil their
Lordships' anxious desire to promote the best interests
of the seamen.

Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all
Its accompanying miseries, will find detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst these who
are suffering under the less severe forms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskillal and
violent treatment—the main-spring of severe and complicated ob-
structions of the urinary canal. " Thstricture opeeris, atiowithoutn of introducingdoubt, the

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
At length one journal, and one journal only, has
been found to deiend the repressive law against the
press, which the PRESIDENT and his Ministers, in the
very extremity of panic terror, have been, as our
Scotch friends would say, " So far left to them-
selves," as to propose. That journal is the Napoleon,
and thus does it deal with the comparisons which
have been recently made between the conduct of
CHARLES X.,- in. July 1830, of Louts PHILIPPE, in
February, 1848, and of Louts NAPOLEON, in March,
1850 :

" The restoration," it asp, " has for its origin
foreign invasion, and for its moving power the hatred of
all that had been accomplished during the preceding
twenty-five years ; its object, the re-establishment of
the political power of the nobility and the clergy. The
opposition was formidable, as it was supported by all
those generous passions which had been ueveloped by
the Revolution of .1789. Immortal glory, new intik.-
structible interests, were amongst the good things which
the liberty of the press and tribune guaranteed to the
people; and royalty, and its
,right divine, fell in its at-
tack upon them, as it could only oppose the vital force of
the nation with brute resistance.

" The Government of July had a more popular origin,
although it committed the fault of not being legitimatised
by a general election.. Its moving power was the pas-
aim for material enjoyments—its object the preponder-
ance of the bourgeoisie. It incurred the just reproach
of not having stimulated noble interests, whilst it over-
excited those who took only interest for their guide.
Nevertheless, as its roots penetrated deeper into the
people than those of its predecessor, it could with
danger limit the liberty of the press, which no longer
represented, as under the Restoration, ' the conquests of
the Revolution.' It fell because the country sawiits only
object was gain, its only portion the lust of wealth. The
interior daises availed themselves of their power to re-
claim from the bourgeoisie that which it appeared to
them to have gained by corruption, and Socialism is but
the consequence of the fatal impulse of these past
eighteen years.
" But what opinion is it now which abuses the liberty
of the press, and which is at the head of the Opposition.
It is not that which under the Restoration glorified our

triumphs and protested against the return of the anciex
regime, nor that which under Louis Philippe called out
fur just concessions. But now not content with liberty
in its most extended development, it defames all that is
respectable, overthrows the basis of civilization, and at-
tacks all that it would be useful to support.
" New, therefore, in restraining the liberty of the
press, it is only to combat error, and not truth. Instead
of attacking the national feelings, it is protecting them
against iniquitous aggression."
The National comments on this extraordinary
article in the most sarcastic manner, and observes
that according to this writer it was madness and
crime in CHARLES X. to attack the liberty of the
press ; it was a crime, it was madness, in Louis
Pnruarrz to attack the right of meeting. " But
such," says the National, "is not the case with re-
gard to the present policy. This policy, although
precisely similar to the policy of the two last reigns,
is good—is even excellent. And the reason ? The
reason is because it is the policy of M. LOUIS
BONAPARTE, whilst the preceding policies were those
of CHARLES X. and of LOUIS PHILIPPE."

Notwithstanding the bluster of the Napoleon it
would appear that the Ministers do not feel at all cer-
tain of their ground, and we should not be surprised
to find them endeavouring to back out of the posi-
tion into which the MoLa-TuIBAs•BBARZER con-
spiracy has forced him. The following from the Mi-
nisterial Constitutionnel of Monday is evidently a
feeler :

" We need not say that, if we do not approve of the
new Bill on the press, our confidence in the Government
is by no means diminished, and that our support will not
be weaker. It we thought that our opposition to this
Bill was of a nature to weaken the Government, we
should not hesitate an instant to sacrifice our convictions
on the point. And, first of all, what is the cause of our
opposition? Certainly nut a diffeience of intentions. The
President, the majority, and the Cabinet, have only one
object,—to protect society against the excesses of
the anarchical propagandism. What they desire, we
desire also; we differ only as to the means. We
sincerely believe that in proposing to disarm the attack,
the defence is disarmed also. Let us suppose that after
a more mature examination of the question, the law
should he abandoned, or that a different system MI3 sub •
stituted, would it follow that this thould be a serious
check for the authors of the Bill? Certainly not, since
the question of the press is a special one, if ever there
was a special question. Is it to be said that Government
is not to be ever mistaken, and that a Ministry is bound
to have all its propositions carried, under pain of, resign-
ing? It is clear that wa are not any longer governed
by those classical rules which direct a Parliamentary
Government in calm times. Ministers, even supported
by the heads of parties not connected with the Govern-
ment, do not succeed always in getting their views
adopted by those even who usually march with them.
Each not the less continues to serve in his own

position without imposing on himself the obliga-
tion, as a point of honour, of always obtaining
the neceasery votes. It has happened to all Cabinets,
at all times, to have had Bills rejected, and still to keep
their places. They acted properly in so doing. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs was defeated at the elections,

but be did not consider himself weakened thereby. M.
Berryer, notwithstanding the power of his word, has
just seen the majority of his friends vote against him on
the question of transfers of rentea. He did not on that

and he is right in thinking so. We might quote many
other instancee, but it is easy to see from what we have
said that a complete alteration in th• Bill on the press,
or even the rejection of the measure, would nut shake
the moral authority of the Government. For, in fine,
they who would not adopt it would not the less approve
the object in view. There can be no serious disaccord,

Society is a prey to a great moral evil, for which reme-
dies are sought. It is ♦ery allowable to make a mistake

not to pay attention to the situation, or to neglect mak-

It appears that the great bulk of the Legitimatists
are so disgusted with M. BERRTER for the support
he has given to the repressive laws, that they have
repudiated his leadership and chosen M. Ds ST.

bulk of the army will, in the event of any coup-iitat
being attempted, remain true to the Republic and
Constitution, and aid in putting down any Royalist
rebellion. This feeling is not confined to the garrison
of Paris—it is general throughout the army.

RAMSGATE.— Some excitement has been occasioned
in our town, two attempts at self-destruction having been
made during the past week. The first was of a Mr. Harden,
of Deal, staying in George s-place, who was found in a water-
closet with his throat cut ; the alarm being given, surgical
aid was procured, and the wound was town up, and the per-
son is still alive. The other is a Mr. Pain, of Belle-Vue-hill,
greengrocer, who made an attempt on his life by cutting his
throat, but in which attempt, es in the other instance, he did
not succeed.—Canier4raourna.

The QUEEN has dismissed the Duke of SALDLNHA
from his situation as a member of the Supreme Mili-
tary Tribunal of Justice, and the KING Consort has
dismissed him from his post as chief of the Staff, on
account of his continued opposition to the Ministry
of the Count of THOMAS. It is thought that the
army will rise, as SALDANHA has always been
a great favourite with the troops. THOMA.R, it
is said, reckons upon Spanish assistance, but
be should recollect that on the occasion of the last ;
outbreak he would have been executed as a traitor,
and the QUEEN deposed, long before Spanish assist-
ance could have arrived, had it not been for the per-
sonal intervention of SALDASHA, who would not at
present, probably, feel inclined to run any desperate
personal risks for the sake of the Count DE THOMAR.
The discussion on the law for the abolition of the
liberty of the press had not concluded in the Cortes.

AN EXPENSiVZ RESISTANCiI TO THY LAW.-411
Monday, Mr. Isaac Kent, shipowner, was convicted, before
the magistrates, of an assault, and fined 6d., and 195. id. costs. He refused to Pay, and the officers were ordered to
take him ,into custody; but he said fifty men should not take
him. '1 hrowing his arm round a post, he defied the officers
who were a long time before they could stir hint. The con-
test caused quite a scene in the court, the effeet of whiCh
was heightened by Kent's wife and son calling out at the tip
of their voices, the one, "They'll kill my. husband " the
other, "They'll kill my father!" After great difficulty, Kent
was got upon the ground, and the handcuffs put upon him.
His brother-in-law then paid the sovereign expecting a
discharge; but he was told, to his great surprise, that he had
committed a serious offence, which rendered him liable to
three years' imprisonment. A further fine of 5L was intictoi,
which was ultimately paid. —Neifolit Chronicle. _.•

se.ing the danger the poor fellow was in, immediately seized
hold of a rope, and dashed into the water, caught him by the
hair just as he was sinking, and kept his head above water

THE GALE OM SATURDAY NIGHT.--The aeverity
of the gale from the N.E. during the whole of Saturday night
appearssto have been most severely felt, and was attended
with serious consequences to the cattle • arriving here on
board the vessels from Ireland. The William Penn, belonging
to the Waterford Steam-ship Company,' so far as we are
at present enabled to state, suffered most. She left Dublin
about six o'clock in the evening, having on board upwards of
100 ,h end of cattle, 31 horses, and 200 pigs, a great portion of
which, together with several passengers, were ea deck. On
the arrival of the steamer yesterday afternoon it was found
that about 20 of the horned cattle and 3 horses had died from the cold. The other animals on deck also suffered materially
from the severity of the weather, and some of • them were
much mutilated, having been tossed about by the motion of
the vessel. Nor did the passengers on deck altogether ea.
cape, and had it not been for the consideration of those in
the cabins, who kindly made room for the poor creatures be-
low, they must also have suffered most severely. As it was,
one poor child, a boy six years of age, was found lying dead,
and by his side another child in a dying state, who was only
restored to animation by the prompt application of warm;:
blankets. These children were in charge of a woman, wits
states that they were entrusted to her care in Dublin by a
man whom she did not know. We understand that the deck
passengers of the steamer Queen, which arrived at eight
o'clock in the morning, also suffered severely from the cold.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEOMS.A. meeting WU
held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, of those fellows
of the Royal College of Surgeons who disapproved of the
change in the charter of the institution proposed- by the
council, by which those members of the college who had
been members at the date of the new charter in 1843
should, atter twenty years' standing, be admitted without
examination to the fellowship dlr. Robinson presided.
After a few words from the chairman deprecatory of thi
proposed alteration, a resolution was proposed by Mr.
Roberts, and seconded by Mr. Holmes Coote, to the effect
that those fellows who were present regarded the proposed
change as an act of grievous injustice. This was carried by
a large majority ; an amendment, proposed by Mr. Erich-
sen, approving of the intention of the council, being sup-
ported by only one gentleman besides the mover and
seconder, in accordance with the spirit of the resolution, ar
memorial, addressed to the president, vice-president, and
council of the Royal College of Surgeons, was read and
adopted, setting forth that the memoralists learned with
regret and disappointment that the council had applied to
Government for a supplementary charter for the purpose of
rendering members eligible to the fellowship without a
second examination; that the memorialists had been in.
duced to incur the expense, loss of time, and possible dia.
grace of the ordeal in reliance upon the statements of the
college that the charter of 1843 should be a final memorise;
and they submitted that the proposed alteration would be
injurious to the profession and unjust to themselves; that
it would degrade the fellowship, and render it valueless in
public estimation ; and lastly, that it would be a breach of
faith towards those who had subjected themselves to the
examination. On these grounds they prayed that the pro-
posed alterations should not be carried out. After the meet-
ing the memorial was signed by the majority of the gentle-
men present.

SERIOUS BANK ROBBERY.-011 Saturday ien.•
tleman in the commission trade, in this town, after having
paid all the cash he bad to pay at his warehouse, took the
remaining notes and a cheque (in all 7081.) to pay' into the
bank of t,ir Benjamin Heywood and Co., St. Ann-street. He
folded up the notes and cheque together, held them in his
hand, and put his hand into an outer pocket of his coat.
He had not been two minutes in the bank before he missed
the notes, which he believes he had in his hand at the door of
the bank. The money consisted of three Bank of England
notes of 201. each, one of lel., and one of 54 ; all the num.
hers of which being known to the gentleman, payment of
all of them was promptly stopped. With . the notes was a
cheque for 3331. zll. upon Sir Benjamin Heywood and Co.,
payment of which was, of course, instantly stopped.
Nothing has since been heard of the missing cash. —.Nan.

IMPUDENT THIEVES.—On Friday night last A bur-
glary of an exceedingly imrudent nature was effected at the
Louse of Mrs. Vowles, a widow, residing at Wrax,dl. The
thieves bored several holes in the front door, by which they
were enabled to open it and gain an entrance. They took
off a box of wearing apparel belonging to a young lady
living with Mrs. Vowlea, 131. or 141. of whose money they
also appropriated. The rascals cooked and ate a dozen of
eggs, with bread and butter, while upon the premises, and
regaled themselves plentifully with cider from a cask in the
Bristo: Journal.

On Thursday, William Johnson. sub-actuary of St. Helen's
Savings' Bank, who had already, with his brother, been
committed on a charge of embezzlement, was brought be-
fore Thomas Townley Parker, Esq. The prisoner was ap-
prehended at his brother's house, Walton, near Liverpool,
early on Thursday. Mr. Thomas Haddock (in the absence
of )fir. Aspinall, barrister,) conducted the case for the prose-
cution. Mr. Whitley, of Liverpool, appeared for the pri-

RUN UPON THE SAYINGS' BANE, PERTH.--01iing
to some panic that had taken effect upon a number of this
depositors in this bank, a run took place upon it on Thurs..
day morning last. Unlike the most of savings' banks, the
greater part of its funds are deposited with one of the Scot-
tish chartered banks—having been withdrawn from the Go-
vernment funds about a year and a half ago, when the rats
of interest upon public securities was so much lower than
the general rate in the country, and lodged with the Na.
tionai Bank of Scotland. When the money pro.
vided to pay the depositors who were expected to operate
upon their accounts on Thursday had run short, the cashier
was obliged to pay the rest with cheques upon
the National
Bank. As the bank is open far paying only once a week,
perhaps the alarm may have subsided before next Thurs.
day. It is supposed that some unauthenticated rumours
about certain parties recently connected with the bank had
given rise to the panic.— Caltdonian Mercury.
