One of the most disastrous landships recorded in this colony for many years past occurred at 11 o'clock this morning on a piece of land between

disasters may be explained. Usually the officer has just enough sense to rely on his subordinatės, and follow the advice of his inferiors in rank, until after many years he picks up perhaps as much knowledge of the business as he ought to have had at first In the French Navy, on the other hand, a man may rise from the lowest to the highest, if he is worthy; and the result Is that most men are glad to serve, begin- ning at the bottom and working up. Thus there is an ample supply of experienced officers, for the Navy as for the Army, and also of professional sallors and soldiers, as distinguished from unwilling conscripts who only serve the minimum term, and also from amateurs who can only attain of supposed "meaner mortals." In the British Navy, there is a rule pro- viding for the admission of not more than twelve men per annum to commission rank; and even that paltry concession is little more than nominal, for it does not enable a man to act as even a lleutenant, nor to rise a single grade higher. All it does is to entitle him to the initials R.N. after his name! Thus, when last year we chronicled the promotion of Mr. G. SOUTH, chief boatswain of the Naval Yard, to "commission rank," it was an honour not attained by one in a thousand; yet it was an empty honour, for it practically ends his career in the Navy-It puts a full-stop to his advancement. Who can wander that men are unwilling to join the Navy, or that officers are scarce and poor in 15 quality? The last Government had been induced to take the matter into consideration just before losing power, when of course nothing could be done but it is only a question of time when the change will have to take place.
