not pub in practice, the force at over 10,000 men, officers, and marines being rized by voluntary enlistment.
Norway protines conseription, but only upon seafaring men between twenty-two and thirty- five years of age: It has a reserve of £3,000 men.
Portegel has a personnel of about 5,000) officers and men, and is ambitious.
As the manning of the Navy is likely to bosome a more and more pressing subject, it in interesting to glance at the systems followed by foreign Powers to gamtain an efficient activo personnel and an abundant reserve. Not that thore is any probability of our adopting the methods of our Furopean neighbours, a long, at least, as the British taxpayer grudgingly parts with 106 millions for the public service. One and all-with the exception of our Trans atlantio "onsins" med, in actual practice, Holland the nations which koop a Nory raise the material for it, as they raise the land forces, more or less by conscription, France and ourselves are al antipodes, for the French warmen. khipa are the truthing ground for the seame of their merchant service. We are antipajal with France, too--and, indeed, with all foreign aruntries in the fact that we have more shape than man to put in them, while they hare not ships enough for their men. FRANUE

And with Turkey the difficulty is not a manning but a shipping one. Nomically it has a personnel of $1,000, together with 1,000 marines, but only three or four sea-going vessola of any value.
It is clear that all nations recognize the sloso interdeponderico between Navy Red Merchant Service; and that other countries use their raw material to very much more! effect then we do,! so that we alane show a dimaritly between men and ships. How great the call may some day be is worth showlag, in canelasiou, by reference to the comparative.figures for our uavy in! farmor peace and war times. During the posse poried between 1764 and 1770) seamen and marinea nambered 10,000 men. In the vaT year of 1788 the number increased to 110,000. Then it fell quickly 18,000, and again roes, during the war period of 1801-13, to 145,000, dropping in the following years to about 20,000, In 1852, with peace, the auniber, atond at 39,000, and in 1856, with war, it ran up to 76,000-St. James'a Gazette.

At any rate, the belief in shat country appears to be that a wall trained Lundaman makes a good fighting soaman, HỒ - that there is no dificully about his getting his sea-lege and stomach. Husaia has not, therefore, set hard-and-fast limits, like France and Ger many, to the soures of her payud sapply. Drafts may be made from the land levies, and hence or rosorra is unlimited.

ITALY.
Italy has overcome the manning difficulty by woropulsorily culisting not only inerclimat samen, Suhormen, and boatmen, but ship wrights, carpenters, caulkers, machinists, fire- med, and all who have anything to do with ships. From these an annual draft is made of men for three years' active service and fire. subsequent years in the reserve organized for Mervice afloat. The personnel, inolading over 3,000 etokare, exceeds 36,000, and the rezerva is- prostically unlimited- That is to any, it amounts to mers than Italy will ever require for her foal as at present constitated...

THE UNITED SEATER
The stual naval force of the United States -nearly 11,000--is very small; but it is the best paid naval force in the world. The United States may yet do great things, though, as some one line arately remarked, the people have little need to go to sea, and so probably thay will always prefer to stay at home. They have the French in that it is casting naval brend upon the waters when you send well-trained mm into the mercantile marine. Accordingly Congress has passed a law authorizing the Secretary for the Navy to land a ship to any State that paks for it for the purpose of train. ing its youth for the merchant service. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore," and Ban Francisco have each sailed themselves of the privilege, and a large number of Yaakes young men are being annually turned into good merbant seamen with a spice of the fighting spirit and attributos for these ehips are officered by raval officers. There is o proviso in the law by which the ships are Dot permitted to be used as reformatories, This, however, may be due to the wish of Congress to prevent individual States from reforming their criminals at Foderal orpanse rather than to the cousioklon on the part of the American Adiniralby, as a great English naval authority suries, that reformed criminals make bad sampon,
