THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, INJARCII 12, 1666.

Hope Grant, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General; Six
E. Wetherall, K.C.8., Deputy Quartermaster-
General; and Sir W. Power, Commissariat-General-
in-Chief. The waggons and carts were designed
by Assistant Commissariat-General Bailey, C. 8.,
and built by Mr. Thomas Ayshford, of the Britannia
Works, Walham-green. The first vehicle examined

was a commissariat bread waggon, constructed to
carry two and a half tons. The interior of it is

fitted with six tiers of shelves, for bread or other
stores, and these may, in case of necessity, be
adapted for sleeping, or may be employed as ambu-
lances for the wounded. The length of the waggon
is 10ft. 4in., the breadth 4ft., and the height 4ft.
Sin. It turns in its own length without strain, the
body being built with a crank on the bottom sides,
affording room for the high front wheels. The
waggon may be used for the carriage of bread, meal,
corn, or powder, and for several other purposes, as
already indicated, when the covers are taken off.
The second was a spring cart of a similar construc-
tion, capable of carrying a ton and a half. No. 3
was a tip cart adapted for any purpose, and so built
that it maybe taken to pieces in 20 minutes. It is
so constructed that the least possible stress is put on
the backs of the horses drawing it, and it is fitted
with a set of tilt hoops and a canvas cover to pro-
tect men and merchandise from rain. All the
vehicles examined yesterday are so arranged that
the sides and ends of them can be easily taken off,
so that there is very little difficulty in packing them
closely on bOard ship for transport. The waggons
and carts have painted on them instructions to the
drivers regarding the weight they are capable of
carrying, when fairly laden, over good and bad
roads respectively. The Duke of Cambridge spent
upwards of half an hour in examining the machines.
and at the conclusion of his inspection expressed
his approval of their design and construction, which
are both finished and substantial.

Staff Assist.-Surg. Wilson has been attached to
the 4th Depot Battalion for duty. The Field-
Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has been pleased to
approve the appointment of Brevet-Colonel H. W.
Montagu, commanding Royal Engineers, Eastern
district, vice Brevet-Col. M'Causland, Royal Engi-
neers, retired on full pay with the rank of Major-
General. Staff-Surgeon Ramsey, M.D., is under
orders to proceed to Colchester for duty with the
4th Depot Battalion, vice Dr. Poulton, appointed
Surgeon of the 35th Regiment. Staff Assistant-
Surgeon O'Brien has been removed from Colchester
to Dublin ; and Staff Assistant-Surgeon Wilson,
from Dublin, is appointed to Colchester in his stead
Lieut. Lambe, 96th Regiment, is held in readiness
to embark with the draught now under orders, in
the room of Ensign Wix, who retires by th 3 sale of
his commission.

The Minotaur, 34, screw (armoured iron) frigate,
6,621 tons, 1,350 horse-power, Captain James G.
Goodenough, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral F.
Warden, C. 8., Commanding-in-Chief the Channel
squadron, steered out of Portsmouth harbour yes-
terday morning, and anchored at Spithead, the first
rendezvous of the Channel squadron for the present
year. There has been a great deal made public of
late concerning the steaming capabilities of the
ships forming the Channel squadron in its experi-
mental cruises made last year, and more particu-
larly in the closing cruise of November last. These
statements have been more or less distorted, but it
is at the same time remarkable that those ships
which appear to have been thegreatest failures under
trials of continuous steaming include vessels that
have given the greatest proportion of indicated over
nominal power on the measured mile. The apolo-
gists of these vessels will say that their screws have
been set at an exceptionally flue pitch by the maker
of their engines expressly to gain an increased num-
ber of revolutions on the mile, and an increase
thereby of indicated power; but that such means
seriously militate against the ship's speed in a six
or eight hours' trial at sea. On the other hand it
is asserted that the new system inaugurated by
the present Controller of the Navy, of imposing
upon contractors with the Admiralty for the con-
struction of engines for her Majesty's ships the
condition that the set of engines contracted for
shall indicate on their trial six times their nomi-
nal power in lieu of the ordinary four times, is
a most unwise regulation. It compels a maker
of engines to have recourse to surface condensors,
superheating apparatus, and other complex addi-
tions, which is only a stupid attempt to cram one-
third more engine power into a vessel than the old
nominal rate. The new rule has undoubtedly de-
stroyed whatever value was possessed by the previ-
ously accepted rule. If we look at the results of
the competitive speed trial made with the fleet under
full steam on Nov. 26 last, and take the Warrior as
the comparative vessel, as being the oldest built in
the fleet, it appears to furnish positive proof that
the first built of all our ironclads is still the swiftest
vessel at sea that we possess. It must be observed,
also, that the Warrior's boilers are her original set,
and have 4-sths of their life worn out of them. They
were consequently, on the day of their trial at sea,
only loaded with 201 b. on the safety-valves. Those
of some of the other ships were loaded to 281 b. and
301 b. At the conclusion of the trial the respective
positions were :-1, Achilles ; 2, Lord Warden ;
3, 'Warrior ; 4, Prince Consort ; 5, Pallas ;
6, Bellerophon ; 7, Minotaur ; 8, Lord Clyde.
The total number of the revolutions made by
each ship's engines during the eight hours
of the trial was :—Achilles, 25,155; Lord War-
den, 27,176 ; Warrior, 23,400 ; Prince Consort,
25,488 ; Pallas, 25,682 ; Bellerophon, 31,875 ;
Minotaur, 25,748 ; Lord Clyde, 27,015. The di-
rection of the wind from 10 to 12 o'clock was E. by
S. ; from 2to 4 o'clock, E. to N.E. Its force was
from 10 to 12 o'clock from 3 to 2 ; from 2 to 4
o'clock it sank to 1. The sea was quite smooth, the
weather barometer standing at 30.29.

Mr. Gladstone's Church Rates Bill has psi* 016 IS
committee, but not, the Times observes, without altera-
tions which indicate that serious difficulties must arise in
carrying into effect the compulsory clauses. Indeed, as
the bill now stands, it may be doubted whether they are
not already rendered either nugatory or so unjust as to be
impracticable. The plain fact is, that all elaborate arrange-
ments to secure the Church from the slightest breath of
inconvenience are found as impracticable as other so-called
" sectui,,ies." It is impossible to compass their object with-
out extending them a great deal further than is intended,
and the net which Churchmen design for their protection
will only serve to entangle them. Such arrangements aro
only necessary on the supposition that nobody can be
trusted, that every Dissenter is to be feared, and, as far as
possible, excommunicated, and that not even the mutual
relations of the members of one of the oldest institutions
in the country can be left to take care of themselves. The
attempt is unworthy, end will not improve the character
of the Church for generosity, while it is clear that it must
prove futile. There is valuable evidence to shew that such
precautions are perfectly unnecessary. The rector of
Liverpool has stated in our columns that for years a volun-
tary rate has been levied in his parish upon jest such an
understanding as could be provided if the first clause of
Mr. Gladstone's bill stood alone. It is agreed that no
suit shall be
.prosecuted for the recovery of the Tate.
That understanding is sufficient to prevent all ill
feeling, and the rate has been paid and adminis-
tered without difficulty. Similar cases, we believe,
have occurred elsewhere. Such experience ought, we
think, to be decisive of the question. Let us simply pro-
vide that no more suits shall be instituted—in other words,
that litigation and consequent quarrelling shall cease ; and
let everything else be left as it stands. Mr. GlaAlstone's,
object would then be gained ; church rates would still be
levied, but the grievance of the Nonconformists would be
removed, and we are satisfied that church rates would
suffer no appreciable inconvenience from the lack of an
elaborate legal security. On the contrary, the removal of
an old-standing grievance, if generously accorded, would
tend to put them on a better footing with Nonconformists
than ever before.

Mr. Gladstone's bill was, the Standard remarks,
accepted by the House of Commons with practical
unanimity. Mr. Henley could only find thirty mem-
bers to go with him into the lobby on his division
against the principle of the measure. The fact is,
the House was weiried of the whole question, and caught
at a chance of getting rid of it by a so-called " compro.
mise." The Liberals consented to abandon something of
the letter of their demands, and a large body of Conserva-
tives hastened to surrender to them the substance. After
the discussion upon the second reading of the bill it was
quite evident that all efforts to oppose it would be vain,
and the Government wisely declined, yesterday afternoon,.
to throw any obstacles in its way. Sir Stafford Northcote
observed, with great justice, that the present system, which,
really inflicts not the slightest injustice or hardship upon
any individual, was that best adapted to the wants of the
Church ; but he allowed, too, the desirability, in view of
the stage at which the discussion has arrived, of settling
the question : and in the want of all encouragement from
the House to the Government to introduce a real and not
a sham compromise, he abstained from opposing the bill,
and gave his best aid to improve it.

The Post wishes to reform the diplomatic service, and
proposes two measures to remedy the present state of
things. First, that the permanent Under-Secretary
should not be a mere Foreign-office clerk. The traditional
information of the department should be carried on by the
Lead clerks, to whose position might be given additional
consideration by the C.B. or some other mark of distinc-
tion for good services ; but the Under-Secretary should be
essentially a man of the world. In France and other
countries this office is generally held by a member of
the diplomatic body. Such a gentleman is acquainted
with foreign- manners, foreign countries, and foreign
languages, and in his communications with Foreign
Ministers carries with him a greater authority.
Another-measure earnestly recommended is a reversal of
the present order of promotions—i.e., the Post, would re-
frain from giving great pensions for doing nothing to per-
sons who can do something ; and we would not give great
salaries to persons to do something who can do nothing.
We agree, in short, with many of our contemporaries that
it is at once expensive, disadvantageous, and ridiculous to
see the persons we could name employed as our Ministers
and our Ambassadors, and the persons we could name not
employed. The waste is one of money, of talent, and of
credit.

The Daily News, in an article on the affairs in America,
remarks that, to the American people, great good may
come out of the present serious condition of affairs--to Mr.
Johnson himself it is an unmitigated calamity. Yet, It is
impossible to feel the least personal sympathy with him.
Even could we regard him as h martyr to what he igno-
rantly believes to be the cause of the Constitution, his
folly in so obstinately provoking his fate would tarnish the
lustre of his martyrdom. But he is only the martyr of an
obstinacy and self-will which are without a parallel except
among Stuarts and Bourbons. He has steadily refused
every compromise. Be has fought Congress at every step,
has presumed on its forbearance, and has forced it at last
to put forth all his power. We will not say anything of
the issue of the struggle, being ccnvinced that there will
he no struggle. Presidential usurpation will go -the way
which all usurpation goes in the affairs of freemen of the
English race. The American Senate will not lack the
courage to dismiss Mr. Johnson to obscurity, the American
people will not be wanting in the self-respect and the saga.
city to endorse the verdict, and in a few weeks our
Minister at Washington will be received by President
Wade.

On consideration of the whole subject the Herald thinks
that the only means left to extirpate inveterate drunken-
ness in the British army is to adopt 'the system of punish-
ment adopted in the French army for that and other serious
violations of military rule. The offender is sent to the
" companies of discipline," which always remain in the
colonies, employed, not in military duties, btt in the
making of roads, forming field works, or other similar
employments, without any fixed term of punishment being
imposed. One year's uninterrupted good conduct will
enable him to rejoin his regiment, while perseverance in
his faults will consigri him to the " Pioneers," where he
will be much more severely dealt with, and obliged to
remain to the end of his engagement ; then leaving with
his discharge written on yellow paper, which precludes
his future employment in any service connected with the
State. Now, we do not see why such a corps as would re-
present the French companies of discipline should not be
formed, and stationed in some of our West Indian islands,
where incorrigible offenders, instead of being drummed out
of our service, should be compelled to labour in insalu-
brious climates, and earn their sustenance by the sweat of
their brow.

The plan of the Abyssinian campaign and the means of
-carrying it out now assumes, the Telegraph points out, a
definite shape. The base at Zoulla will be guarded by a
brigade of native infantry, established in small posts
between Annesley Bay and Senate. Ample measures
have been adopted to secure full command of the defile
and the head of the pass, and to provide for the uninter•
rupted transport of stores from the bay to the highlands.
After Senaf4 the next post will be Ategerat, which, as we
long ago pointed out, posssesses considerable strategic
value, and keeps watch on the Prince of Tigr6. The third
camp w•il1 be formed at Dongolo, situated in a defile sepa.
rating the eastern from the western watershed ; and the
fourth at Antalo, which will be the main depot of supply
for the active division moving on Magdala. All these
camps will be connected together through intermediate
posts occupied by cavalry, upon whom will devolve the
duty of maintaining prompt communication along the
whole line of operations from Senaf6 to the front, where-
ever it may be.

The whole of the Tory scheme for the pacification of
Ireland is now, says the Star, before the world. The new
statue of Pacata Hibernia, to the expected unveiling of
which we alluded the other day, is now unveiled. The
Government propose to accomplish some financial operation
with the Irish railways. They intend to confer a charter
and an endowment—another sectarian endowment !—on
the Catholic University. That is all. Thus they propose
to extinguish Fenianism, and even put an end to the
chronic rebellion which may be said to have never ceased
in Ireland since the days of the great O'Xeills. A trans.
action with the railway companies, and a charter for a
new university. We certainly did not expect much, but
this is the smallest monstrous mouse that ever crept forth
of a mountain. But, somebody will doubtless ask us, what
of the land and the Church ? Did not Lord Mayo say some-
thing on these subjects? He did. He said a good deal
about them. He said that the Government meant to insti-
tute a new inquiry—the two-hundredth, or thereabouts, we
should think—into the whole question of land tenure ; and
he distinctly declared that, while they are willing to learn
all that can lee learned from Earl Russell's commission on
the management of the Church revenues, they are deter-
mined not to sanction the abolitiJn of the Irish Church.
It is true that Lord Mayo proposes to bring in some inno-
cent little bill to encourage written contracts, and help, as
he thinks, towards the securing of compensation for
tenants' improvements. But we know that if such a mea-
sure were one of a really penetrating and efficacious
nature, it never would be introduced while an inquiry into
the whole subject is actually going on. Without, there.
fore, too hastily judging of Lord Mayo's little measure
before it has been fully explained, we are not only per.
mitted, but compelled, by the nature of his own announce•
ment, to believe that it will be something merely intended
to keep up a lianulese oppearince of legislation, '
