THE NAVY.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
SlR,—The subject of manning the navy has recently
much oc.wpied the attention of Parliament, and the dis-
cussions and observations of naval men in the House have
led to no results of a beneficial character ; in fact the
subject has ended where it began, and is an induce-
ment to me, as a friend of the service, to submit
through your influential columns a scheme, a practical
and simple scheme, for not only manning the fleet in
time of peace, but also of keeping it manned and ready
against any sudden emergency.
Three modes of entry into the navy are proposed with
corresponding methods of discharge—calculated to meet
the natural habits of sailors, and at the same time guard-
ing against their caprices.

The first should be, as is actually now the case, and
which extends voluntarily from the time of joining to
that of paying off—or any broken period of the ships'
service, usually about chi ee-Lnd-a-half years.
The second should be by a voluntary enlistment for a
brio, say seven years, which is on the average the time
occupied in two foreign stations. These men to recirive
a b,,unty of four pounds, either in clothes or money—as
may be necessary, and to be regisered at the nearest
dock ,vard by the clerks of the Cheque.
To he permitted at any convenient period, upon testi-
mony of general good conduct, to obtain their discharge
uponoi rfi.tdhe.), iilgnaceivsueffid.cient substitute, and repaying the
uulty

On the completion of one station. and the paying off
of the ship in• which they have served--to be dischatged
into the nearest flag ship, receiving two-thirds of the
pay which may be due to them, to have at least a
mol.th's leave if they wish it, and on rejoining to receive
the ri mainder.

At the end of seven years to be permitted to renew
th. it term of service in either way, and to count all the
tiny may nerve, whether broken or continuous, for
usi al rate of pension.

Tite third method of entry should be of boys, which
can e most readily obtained, with clothes and ntcessa-
ries of :be value of fifty shillings.

boy to enter as a volunteer for the navy so long
as his :ier vieJ maybe requited, and on the paying off of any
ship cr vessel in which he may have served, to be sent
to the neanst flag ship, and to have leave of absence in
the ;no form and manner as stated in the second
me:l- od.

At the end of the first station, and on being dis-
char,,ed into tl'e flag-ship, to be carefully examined by
nie:ical min, and If physically likely to be of good
sir:ice to the State, to be retained in the service ; and if
othkrarise. restored to their friends, or to tinir parishes.
TheTri-o;',--s-aLso to be registered like men of the second
imth,,d by the nearest clerk of the Cheque, end in like
reanner to be discharged upon their own request, and
COI tifieate of good conduct from their captains or corn-
mandtrs.,

Many other minor regulations might be introduced to
to,.!te Ele inducement stronger, conceived in a spirit and
Lt:tude of great liberality, and removing must if not all
the obitacles and prejudices at present in existence,
making the fleet the greatest nursery of its own seamen,
as well as of retaining those who have been trained in
the duties and exercises of a ship of war, and which ex-
tend much beyond the knowledge of sailors brought up
in the Intr.);ant service, and who have one strong ftel-
ing against the naval service, from the prevalence of
the s,ldier-like instruction now in practice, and in some
vessels of war carried out to a considerable extent.

In the•hope that these suggestions may meet the at-
tention of thole who have power to improve o: adopt
r!lem for the benefit of the fleet and of the cott.ttry,
I remain, Sir, your obedient serva:at,
Y. 74.
