LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUG UST 2,

for long sarvices, or as the distinction won by great
achievements. It is rather the reward of a sound
constitution, the compensation for physical decay,
the distinction won by a good liver and an excPlient
digestion. Every post captain bides his time with a
certainty that he has only to wait patiently for a
certain period to attain his flag rank, and that before
that period arrives not all the gallantry in the world,
not all the victories he could gain by prowess
or sagacity, could transform him into an
admiral. His course is clearly marked
before him. What he has to do in order to reach
the desired dignity is, not to exercise his abilities in
the service of his country, but simply to have an
eye to the health of his own body, to keep out of
the hands of the physician, to pay some attention to
diet, and by all rational precautions to avoid an in-
troduction to the undertaker. If he can manage to
rub on in this fashion, somehow or other, loitering
along the promenades of some agreeable
watering place, and occasionally running up
to the metropolis to lounge in his club, or
to stroll down to the Admiralty, he may
count upon being ultimately gazetted among the list
of flag-officers, according to the prescribed system of
rotation. That the consequence of any such undis-
criminating plan of promotion should prove to be
most pernicious, is assuredly anything but surprising.
The vigorous conduct of the navy remains perpetually
obstructed—its highest posts of command being
yielded to old age rather than merit, and selection
ceasing on the threshold of that very rank which
most of all demands caution in its bestowal.

Whoever may have observed our previous remarks
upon this grievance will be sufficiently aware already
that we are solicitous to inflict no injury or injustice
whatever either upon the present flag-officers, or upon
the immediate aspirants for the dignity of admirals
in the Royal Navy of England. All the retrench-
ment we require is a retrenchment depending upon a
graduated lapse of promotions. Instead of maintain-
ing the old blundering system intact, instead of
making an immediate advance upon every individual
demise, we would see the progress of promotion
the rank of admiral retarded te one in every
three deaths until such time as the cata-
logue of flag-officers should be reduced to within
certain prescribed limitations. Unless some such
effort at amelioration be contrived the service will
continue subject to this calamitous detriment. Until
an endeavour, moreover, of this character shall have
oeen adventured upon, it behoves every conscientious
economist, and, what is yet more, every one interested
in the welfare of the maritime force of Great Britain
to bring the subject again and again under the con-
sideration of Parliament. While the Liberal represen-
'atives of the people are thus striving to force
this long-wished for reform upon the acceptance of
the Government and the Legislature, the Liberal
journalists of England should persist in reviving it
perpetually to the remembrance of the population. It
is by this system of peaceful but pertinacious opposi-
tion, and by this system alone, that innovations like
he proposed innovation in the management of the
Navy, can be effected. For ourselves, as journalists
live to the importance of the great national
service, and conscious moreover, painfully
conscious, of the ill-effects produced in
that service by the existing scheme of administration,
we have for a very considerable time advocated the
reform above alluded to, a reform which we shall
not cease to demand until it shall have been com-
pletely realised.
Enormous advantages would of course accrue to
the British Navy—advantages effectually securing its
invigoration—if the rank of admiral, like that of
captain, of commander, or of lieutenant, could be
rendered in some degree dependent upon good ser-
sices and brilliant achievements. Nevertheless,
while convinced of this, we are so earnestly
solicitous that the improvement upon which
we have been expatiating should be effected
with as little delay as possible, that we set
aside that branch of the question, for the time,
through an anxiety that it might enhance the diffi-
culties standing in the way of innovation. When
the number of admirals shall have been reasonably
reduced, through the intervention of the Legislature,
then, but not till then, will it be advisable to consider
the principles that should' be acted upon in the man-
ner of their promotion. Of ultimately witnessing
that diminution we are still sanguine, notwitheand-
ing the obstinacy evinced upon the matter by our ad-
ministrators, and our hopes in this regard are attri-
butable not less to our sense of the conspicuous
nature of the grievance than to our confidence in
the judgment of the Legislature.

CASE OF THE BARON DE
ROTHSCHILD.

Mr. Hume this morning laid on the table of the House
of Commons the following amendments, which he in-
tends to move to the Government resolutions on Monday
next:—

" That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild, M.P.
for the city of London, having, as directed by the House,
taken in the manner most binding on his conscience the
oaths of allegiance, of supremacy and of abjuration,
with the exception only of the words at the end of the
oath of abjuration, on the true faith of a Christian,'
cannot be liable to any other penalties thin those set
forth in the'statutes relating thereto, to be imposed only
by a court of law.
" That the louse will, at the commencement of the
next session of Parliament, take into its serious consi-
deration the oaths administered to Members of Parlia-
ment at the table of the House; and more particularly
the cash of abjuration, with a view to meet the case
now before the House; and to make all the oaths mere
consistent with the charges that have taken place since
the passing of the Act enacting the same."

BARON ROTHSCHILD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUiV.

SlR,—The Resolutiona proposed by the Government
on the subject of the representation or London will un-
doubtedly be found in another part of your paper. It is
unnecessary to expatiate on the feelings with which they
will be viewed by the public.
The question which now occurs, is whether it is not a
mockery of God and of all religion, to 'concede the point
that a man has legal right to be sworn on the Old Tes-
tament, and establish it by allowing him to take two so
lemn oaths, and then to stop him in the presence of God
and the holy angels, by demanding words of him incon-
sistent with the concession previously made in the sigl:t
of God, and which it would be voted a blasphemy and
a falsehood if he were then and there to utter.

Put the &apposition, that the Member for London
uttered the vurds "on the true faith of a Christian,"
efier being solemnly allowed to take two oaths and the
e,ubstance of a third, in the character of a Jew. The
extent of the dilemma will thou be seen, in which the
House will place itself, if it does not pluck up spirit to
assert its right of judging from beginning to end, of
what is the substance of the Oath, and what the form.

Nothing can be more certain than that the Legislature
did not mean that the words "on the true frith of a
Christian" should not be changeable, but the book
sworn on might. When one, therefore, was declared to
be changeable, the other was. The House of Commons
has swallowed the body of the camel, and is sticking at
the ears.

There is still time for the Member for Loadon to take
tie oath "on the true faith of a believer in the Old Tes-
timent;" which is what the House has virtually ad-
mitted bite to do, and the rest is solemn quibbling.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A LAYMAN.
London, 2 August, 1850.

ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.—
Several of the directors and friends of the London branch of
the above society dined on Wednesday evening at the Free-
masons' Tavern, for the purpose of arranging plans for bring-
ing the destitute condition of the Highland peasantry and
fishermen before the public, and promoting the industrial im-
provements of the society. Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D.,
presided, supported by Sir Evan Mackenzie, Bart., of Kil-
coy ; Captain C. Forbes, of Aslown ; Charles Mackenzie,
Esq., of Scotsburn ; George Bain, Esq., Honorary Secretary
Highland Society of London, &c. &c. The importance and
efficiency of the society's operations were fully recognised,
and the company pledged themselves to continued exertions
in its behalf.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
- ' CITY, TWO-O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timate:'. at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
Wt. n for .'xport. and 4 000 American, 3 000 Egyptian,
and 1,000 Sur.a on speculation. The market eios d
firmly, and prices were fully supported.—The Share
Market was quiet at rather easier quotation.
The sales in the Produce Markets this week have been
moderate, but they have not been on speculation but for
the immediate wants of consumption. Sugar has rea-
liz d rather higher prices, Coffee has been quiet, and
Rice less in request. Cotton, since the early part of the
week, has commanded a brisk sale, responding to the
activity that has arisen at Liverpool, and is per lb.
dearer.

The following is a statement just received from Messrs.
M`Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, of Manchester, respect-
ing the trade of the clothing distriets:—
" If last week, which was of a depressed and inactive
character, with a feeling decidedly in favour of the pur-
chaser, be excepted, this market from the commence-
ment of the month to its close has been marked by can-
siderable animation, and has resulted in an extent of
business hardly expected, considering not only
the maintenance of the rates of the previous
month, but the realization cf a farther and
material advance upon both Cloth and Twist. 'rho de.
mend, which with an exception or two has been very
general, has left the market bare of goods and yarns
with many manufacturers and spinners producing to
contract. An advance, varying from sto 10 per cent.
upon some numbers of Twist, which will amount to 15
per cent., has been gradually established, and can with-
out much difficulty be realite3. Buyers for the coun-
try trade have operxed very freely and extensively again
during this month."
The Banker's Magazine notices the calling in of the
Dutch gold coin in the following terms:—
"From the 22d Juce last, the Dutch 5 and 10 guilder
gold pieces ceased to be a legal tender. The Bank of
the Netherlands gave silver coin in exchange for them
from the 17th to the 22d June. From that time up to
the they were only to he taken in
and after the 30th of July
uuticiersCulate, except as gold coin sub-
ject to the price of gold. It will be remembered
that the law &authorising this measure, but which
did not srecify the period at which it should take
place, was adopted on the 17th of September last.
Since 1819 the amount coined in five and ten guilder
pieces has been equal to about fourteen and a half mil-
lions sterling. but it is believed that not more than two
or three millions will now be presented for melting."
The llamburgh mail with Friday's accounts gives the
quotation for bills on London steady at 13 71.
At Amsterdam on TiVedueeday Dutch Stock was quiet,
at 57?-5 for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Peruvian
Bonds are higher, and in demand.
The EnglisliBtock Market is again rather flat, and
the business done lies been extremely limited. Consols
have been quoted 9Ga to 'if for Transfer, and 964 to -lir. for
Account. The New Three. and-a-Quarter per Cent!. have
been 99 to 4.. The intelligence from Denmark and Ger-
many still causes some apprehension that hostilities will be
actively pursued. Lank Stock has been firm, at 211 to
212. Exchequer-bills have realised 675. to 705., and
India Bond 89s. premium.
The meeting of Mexican bondholders yesterday went
off as well as could have been expected, seeing the
disappointment felt at the fresh difficulties that have
arisen. Colonel Facio, as we stated a day or two
since, is not in a position to authorise the payment of
the money in the Bank, and the only hope of ulti-
mate justice is from the mission of Mr. Falconet, for
whose expenses about 6,5001. have been advanced by
the 'committee and a private bondholder.
The Foreign Investments have been very passive; also
Mexican Bonds have been marked 291 a, and Peruvian
82 to Buenas Ayres stock has been 55i to 56k, and
Brazilian Pa; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 574 to
Railway Shares are not quits so good, but there have
not been extensive tales made. Foreign shares are
steady, except the Luxembourg, which have fallen from
2i to 11, owing to the decision by the Belgian Third
Chamber that the company i 9 entitled to no compense-
don, and will forfei,, its " caution money" if it dues not
complete the line.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE.-FRIDAY.

The fresh arrivals of English Wheat for our market
this week, coastwise, have been confined to 1,910 quar-
ters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. To-day
several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer, but
the actual supply in the hands of the factors was com-
paratively mall. The attendance of both town and
country buyers were limited, and the few sales of Wheat
of home produce, were at prices about equal to those
obtained on Monday, without effecting a clearance. Up-
wards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come
to hand. That grain met a very inactive'inquiry, and in
some instances the quotations were almost nominal. No
English Barley at market, but the supply of foreign was
on the increase. Malting qualities ruled steady, at late
rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little doing.
The show of Malt was somewhat large. All kinds were
a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in value.
Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward, but
the supply of foreign exceeded 34,000 quarters. (food
dry qualities sold at previous quotations, but damp
parcels were lower to purchase. Beaus, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour were unaltered in value.

For the time of year, our market today was but mo-
derately supplied with Beasts, the general quality of
which was very middling. The attendance of buyers
being tolerably numerous, the primest Scots, Devons, and
Herefords, &c., moved off steadily, at fully Monday's
prices. In all other breeds very little business was
transacted, at barely late rates. The numbers of Sheep
being considerably in excess of those exhibited on this
day se'nnight, the Mutton trade ruled extremely inac-
tive, and the late advance in the quotations was with
difficulty supported. Prime small Lambs were scarce,
and quite as dear. Otherwise the Lamb trade was
heavy. For Calves, the supply of which was good, the
inquiry was far from active, but we have no decline to
notice in pries. Pigs very dull. Mulch Cows moved off
at from 141. to 181. each, including their small
Calf.
