Convoys, Are They Any Longer Possible.

At the Royal United Services Institution yesterday, Captain P.H. Colomb R.N., read a paper on the above subject. Sir Donald Currie presided, and there were also present Admiral Lord John Hay,Admiral Sir L. McClintlock,  - - - continues - - - 

Sir Leopold Heath regretted that the records destroyed at Lloyd's by the fire of 1830 rendered it impossible to give much desirable information derived from the experience of underwriters in our former great naval wars; but from another source he had evidence that the insurance premium demanded for ships without convoy might be estimated at from four times that asked for ships with convoy. Capt. Henderson R.N., pointed out the danger of a policy which would tend to fritter away our naval strength on the protection of commerce instead of its being employed to shut up the enemy's forts, to which Sir Leopold Heath rejoined that the destruction of an enemy's commerce did him as much harm as destroying his ships.  - - -continues - - -

The Possibility of Convoys - At the United Service Institute on Friday afternoon Captain P.H.Colomb R.N., read a paper entitled "Convoys: are they any longer possible?" 
Sir Donald Currie presided, and among the numerous audience were Lord Thring, Mr Baden-Powell M.P., Captain Colomb M.P., Sir John Hay, Sir Leopold McClintock, Sir Leopold Heath, Sir Edward Fanshawe, Admiral Boys, Admiral Wells, Admiral Brine, and General Erskine. 
Having pointed out the conditions which regulated the convoy service in past times, the lecturer proceeded to discuss the very different system that would be necessitated by modern changes in the course of trade and in naval and public opinion. 
What Government would be asked to do now in case of war breaking out would depend greatly on the views of underwriters, and would very considerably in regard to fast or slow steam vessels and sailing ships.  - - - A long and interesting discussion ensured, in which Lord Hon. T. Upington, Sir Leopold Heath, Hon. J Robinson (Natal), Hon. J.H. Hoffmeyer (Cape Colony), Mr Jansen (Lloyds), and other gentlemen took part.  - - -

Conyoys: Are they any longer possible?
 - - - Mr Baden-Powell M.P., pointed out that armed merchantmen stood a risk of being regarded and treated as pirates under the terms of the Declaration of Paris. The result of a declaration of war tomorrow would be chaos in the British commercial world, and probably the wholesale transfer of British shipping to a foreign flag. America had never recovered from the blow to her commerce received during the Civil War, and he very much doubted whether England would. - - - 

Captain P.H. Colomb R.N., said, in reply, that as regarded Captain Henderson''s contention that private property at sea should be placed upon the same basis as private property on land, the answer made to him some years ago by Sir Leopold Heath seemed to be the truest, "that we are so vulnerable at sea that, no matter what engagements our friends in peace entered into, our enemies in war time would certainly break them." The coal carrying capacity of our vessels should be increased as to render them more or less independent of coaling stations.

After the Alma
To the Editor of the Army and Navy Gazette - Sir, - The following extract form a letter written by me, and dated as "Finished, Balaklava, Sept. 28, 1854," may be of interest. At the time of writing it I was in command of H.M.S. Niger. - I am, &c. L.G. Heath,Admiral.

My last described the battle of Alma, a battle in which British soldiers proved that these are not degenerate days, but that the red coats of this generation cover as bold hearts as those which beat the last. 

I send you a copy of the official list of killed and wounded. To carry down so large a number of wounded, besides 200 or 300 sick, a distance of two-and-a-half miles is no joke. We landed a large body of men with hammocks slung upon oars, and brought them down in tolerable comfort, and as fast as a vessel was filled she was started off to Constantinople. 

The Array would not, of course, move whilst all this was going on, and it was the 23rd before they advanced to their next encampment —the River Katchka, or Kara, as it is called on some of the charts. Officers killed, 26 serjeants killed, 19; drummers killed, 2; rank and file killed, 306; total killed, 353. Officers wounded, 73 serjeants wounded, 95; drummers wounded, 17; rank and file wounded, 1,427 ;. total wounded, 1,612.”

Talke - The services on Easter Day were attended by unusually large congregations. At the early celebrations of the Holy Communion there were eighty four communicants, and at the second celebration there were seventy-three, making a total of 157. Many who were hindered from coming on Easter Day will make their Easter communion on Sunday next.   - - The Rector then stated that they should be able to build the mission room at Talke Pits this year, and he invited the hearty co-operation of every one in the parish to assist in this most necessary work.

Primrose Meeting at Linley Wood.
On Wednesday the annual gathering of the Talke Branch of the Trentham Habitation of the Primrose League was held in a marquee, erected on the picturesque grounds of Linley Wood. Over 200 members of the branch sat down to a knife and fork spread . 

Miss Marsh-Caldwell, the warden of the branch presided, being supported by Mr A. Raymond Heath, the Misses Georgina and Rosamond Marsh-Caldwell, General and Mrs Crofton, Mr Cuthbert Heath, Captain H. Crofton, Mr and Mrs Chew (Lawton Hall),  Mr J. Loring, Mr Gater, Mr John Booth, Rev W. and Mrs McHutchin, Miss McGowan, Miss Milman, Miss Eden, Mrs Ford, Rev. Sandford Hutchinson, and the Rev. A. Tristram. The company having partaken of the generous spread provided by the Lady Warden, it was announced that Captain Edwards-Heathcote, M.P., was detained in London on Parliamentary business.

Mr A.R.Heath received a cordial welcome on rising to speak. He addressed himself almost entirely to the Irish question. A year ago, he remarked, the voters of this district sent Captain Edwards-Heathcote to Parliament for a specific purpose, and that was for him to do his best to carry certain measures in which they were all very much interested. 

In Lincolnshire five out of the six members were returned as Conservatives also to carry certain specific measures in which the Lincolnshire agricultural labourers were interested. But none of these measures had been dealt with. 

Mr Gladstone, as they knew, had formulated many phrases in the course of his life, but he never gave birth to a happier expression than when he said "Ireland blocks the way." Nothing could be done because of this Irish question.  - a question that would never reached it present acute position had not Mr Gladstone introduced  before Parliament his separation Bill. 

Now, however, something must be done, if they were to maintain law and order in that country. In Ireland neither was the law obeyed nor was there order. At least the law of the nation was not obeyed; the only law which we obeyed was the law of the Irish National League. What the continued existence of that organisation meant they knew full well. They must have heard of the constant outrages which had been perpetrated, the lawlessness which existed everywhere.  -- - 
Mr Cuthbert Heath, in an address advocating the claims of Conservatism, said there were various ways of making a speech. One might abuse the other side, might praise his own friends, or might devote himself to general principles. Of these three methods he prefered the latter, because he considered Conservative principles preferable to Liberal ideas. He was far from saying that Radicals had done no good; on the contrary he thought they had often drawn attention to points which would otherwise have been neglected. But though he gave them every credit for having been at times very useful political barometers, he thought they were the worst people possible to steer the ship of State safely and well. 

Radicals were too apt to get flurried and to think that everything must be turned topsy-turvy when, as a matter of fact, all that was wanted was a little understanding. He related the story of the Chinaman and the roast pork, and compared the action of th Radicals to that of the Chinaman, inasmuch as they insisted on burning the whole house down every time they wished to precure a little political roast pork.  - - - Thee was a time when the Tory party was called the stupid party;but he would be a bold man who used that epithet now. If the Tories were called the slow party, he (Mr Heath) did not much mind, for his own experience of business life had taught him that the people who succeeded in the world were those who ploddingly persevered. 

He had known some of those clever men, men of ideas who thought that deliberation was absurd and caution cowardice, but the usual course of such individuals was to use a familiar metaphor to go up like a rocket and come down like a stick. 

During the recent depression of trade at the time when the Liberals were in office, he frequently heard the opinion put forward that no revival would come until a sensible Minitsry once more ruled the country. Those prophecies had been justified, a stead and even policy had once more put confidence into the minds of business men and a marked revival had now taken place in the commerce of the country. 

However useful the Radicals might have been in jogging the elbow of the legislature of the country, in foreign politics their tactics everywhere had met with failure and discredit. 

The Transvaal war began with energy and ended with ignominy, the turmult of the Egyptian question rose and fell as the hot or cold fit possessed a wavering Ministry, and the open book of the Afghan boundary was quietly shut at the at the bidding of Russia. Such failures as those should teach the English nation caution; it should teach it to distrust those who promise to work miracles with human means, and to content itself with ordinary methods. 

The Conservative party was not a selfish party if it declined to move too fast because it saw obstacles in the way, and abuse it as they would, jeer it as they might, it would never be moved from the path it has chosen of steady progress and justice to all. (Applause.)

Cheers having been given for the Queen, Captain Edwards-Heathcote, Lord Salisbury, the Warden of the Branch, the company adjourned to the lawn, where dancing and other amusements were indulged in.

Sir Trevor Lawrence at Coldharbour.
The members of the South Reigate Division Conservative Association, which was established in 1885, and embraces the parishes of Horley, Charlwood, Leith, Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Dorking, Coldharbour, and Holmwood, dined together in a meadow near the Plough Inn, Coldharbour, on Saturday, about 70 sitting down to the capital spread provided by the Host Lipscombe. The arrangements were capitally carried out by Mr Soloman Pledge, of the Holmwood, Mr Lipscombe, Mr George Manning and Mr Stephen Weller.

After dinner, a meeting was held, when the chair was taken by Mr Raymond Heath M.P., who was supported by Sir Trevor Lawrence Bart, the Member for the Division, and Lady Lawrence, Admiral Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., and Lady Heath.

Sir Trevor Lawrence, who was heartily cheered,moved the first resolution as followed: - "This meeting desires to record its unabated confidence in Lord Salisbury's Government, and its reprobation of the Irish policy of the Separatist party. It further desires to thank Lord Hartington and Liberal Unionists for their hearty and consistent support of Her Majesty's Government." Sir Trevor dealt mainly with the Irish Question. He said the demand for Home Rule had been supported by great ability and eloquence, and had it been based on sound principles might have been adopted.  - - - -

With regard to obstruction of the House, Sir Trevor Lawrence pointed out that for business and professional men, the long hours and laborious work were disastrous, whilst, for men life Mr Raymond Heath and himself, these long sittings were extremely disagreeable. There was a time when the House were able to vote the address to the Crown, and go comfortably home to dinner the same night.  - - -

Mr Arthur Heath seconded the motion. He said that this was no common meeting, for it was not only the residents of Coldharbour that had assembled to meet Sir Trevor Lawrence, but representatives of ten surrounding parishes as well. (Applause) And he must congratulate Sir Trevor on the meeting, which represented what was almost the unanimous feeling of the division. Unfortunately, too, he (the speaker) was not in the same happy position, for there was a gentleman stumping the country in his Division, and taking a great deal of trouble to turn him out. (Laughter) He was struck with a remark that this gentleman made, and which was to the effect that he could not understand why the farmers and the labourers were all so much against him. Well, the reason was, as they all knew, that the agricultural interest were against Radicalism, because they were aware that the Conservative party were the best friends of the country, and the best friends of their particular interest. (Applause.) The country had tried both parties. Between 1875 and 1880, the Government was Conservative, and between 1880 and 1885 Mr Gladstone was in power, and he put it to them which party it was that had done most for the agricultural interest, and for the country generally. They knew that the Gladstonian party harrassed every business and every interest, and that, notwithstanding the country was prosperous, Mr Gladstone's Government did not take any steps to relieve the heavy taxation under which the country was suffering.

The Conservative party came into power, and although the prosperous times had gone, they took off something like £1,700,000 from the local rates, so that up to the present time the amount of rates saved to the country had reached between ten and fifteen millions of money. 

Between 1880 and 1885, Mr Gladstone was again in power, having at his back almost the biggest majority on record, and with almost unlimited resources, and did he accomplish anything for the relief of local taxation? Nothing of the kind. He only took away the malt tax, and put a somewhat heavier duty on beer. (Laughter.) 

He thought the reason why the agricultural community supported the Conservative party was because that party was composed of men who were acquainted with their needs, and knew the circumstances that surrounded agriculture, because they were not men like the learned doctor, who ventured to oppose their Member at a late election, and to whom it might be said that all he knew about agriculture had reference to drain pipes.(Laughter and applause.) 

He should like to supplement what Sir Trevor had said with reference to the division of the previous night.On the 18th June, seventy years ago, a great victory was won by British arms over the Napoleonic power, and our country was saved. ( Applause.) At 10 o'clock on the previous night, within a few hours of the anniversary of that great victory of which he had spoken, a great victory had been won in the House of Commons over the forces of disloyalty and disorder, which were striving to bring about the separation of England from Ireland (Loud applause.) He ventured to say that the destruction of Ireland meant the destruction of England to, and therefore the Division of which he spoke was a very notable one, and one upon which the country generally was to be congratulated.(Applause.)  - - - 

A cordial vote of thanks to Sir Trevor Lawrence for attending, and for his address, was proposed by the chairman, and seconded by Mr Cuthbert Heath, and also carried unanimously. - - -

Holmwood
The festivities organised throughout the length and breadth of our land in token of loyalty and attachment to our beloved sovereign were fully shared in by the inhabitants of Holmwood. In addition to the festal arrangements so successfully carried out on the Jubilee Day, there remains be erected a church clock, which will here be the permanent memorial of the great occasion. This is now being prepared by Messrs. Gillett and Co., of Croydon, and will shortly be completed. 

On Jubilee Day, June 21st -a day which will ever afterwards rank among the brightest in our history—a morning service of thanksgiving was held in the Holmwood church at eleven, with a special anthem, the National Anthem, appropriate hymns, and a short address from the vicar, the Rev. E. D. Wickham, R.D., suitable to the occasion. 

At two o'clock a very large gathering of the parishioners assembled in the cricket ground, which, with its tents and stalls, and displays of gay flags, presented a most lively and festive appearance. A capital programme of athletic sports was then carried out, under the management of Colonel de Cetto, Mr. C. E. Tritton, Rev. J. F Hoernle, and Messrs. Bixby, Ware, Rapley, Pledge, Alexander, Gray, Manning, Bailey, Sayers, Pierce, lkins, and Barker, members of the committe 

At five o'clock an excellent tea was provided for the children, numbering nearlv 300. The scene at this time was a most bright and happy one—the glad faces of all, young and old, the gay dresses, the glorious sunshine, the glittering Jubilee medals, hung with bright ribbons, decorating every breast, the loaded tables, the bright flags, all combined to furnish a sight long to be remembered.

 A good band had been engaged, and performed excellent music at frequent intervals throughout the afternoon and evening. After tea the athletic sports were resumed, some close finishes and amusing incidents affording gratification to all.

 
Among the visitors to the ground we noticed, besides those already mentioned, the Rev, E. D. Wickham and Miss Wickham, Mrs. Rhode Hawkins, Mrs. Nichols, Mr. J B. Nichols and Mrs. Nichols, Mr. A. F. Perkins and Mrs. Perkins, Mrs. Tritton, Mrs. Rumbold, Miss Dunlop, Mrs. Hoernle, Mr. J. Lee Jardine aid Mrs. Jardine, Miss Chaldecott, Mr. W. B. Gardner, Mr. R. Lodge. 

As evening closed a magnificent display of fireworks, the generous gift of Mrs. Gough Nichols and Mr. J. B. Nichois, were exhibited. Several set pieces were included, a large one representing likeness of Her Majesty merits especial notice. Of course this last was the signal for a fresh outburst of the National Anthem and renewed cheers for our great and good Queen. 

On the conclusion of the display, the time now being half-past eleven, a lofty bonfire was lit, one worthy to be compared many of the 72 which were counted from Leigh Hill on that memorable night, when, from Malvern onwards, the beacons were fired from thousands of hills throughout our land. 

This concluded, so far as Jubilee Day itself, the arrangements in celebration of our loyalty. 
Treat to the Older Parishioners. On Monday, June 27th a substantial tea was provided Mrs. Rhode Hawkins,at the Holly and laurel Assembly Room, for some 150 of the parishioners of 50 years old and upwards. After the excellent repast, which had been prepared by Mrs. Pledge, had been enjoyed the party adjourned to Redlands —the beautiful house and grounds of Mrs. Hawkins now brilliant with their rich bloom of American plants and roses, and abundance of other flowers, and commanding one the most beautiful views of our lovely country.

That all might share in this social gathering several of the gentry placed their carriages, etc., the disposal of those too old or infirm to climb the hill, as they were won't to when Her Majesty began her long and happy reign. 

Many friends from the parish and neighbourhood were there with Mrs. Hawkins, among them being Mrs. Greenwood, Mrs.  Close, Sir L. G. Heath and Lady Heath, Mr. A. F. Perkins and Mrs. Perkins, Rev. E. D. Wickham and Miss Wickham, Rev. L. S. Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs Rumbold, Mrs. Tritton, Rev. J. K. and Mrs. Hoernle, and Miss J. Chaldecott. 

Further refreshments were liberally provided the table in the garden, and mysterious cakes we circulated, in which the fortunate recipients frequently found likenesses of the Queen in pieces of the new jubilee coinage. The Dorking band enlivened the company with many a gay and well executed tune, and at eight o'clock the Old Hundredth, and suitable jubilee hymns were sung, and finally, of course, the National Anthem with heartfelt loyalty. 

All present greatly enjoyed this opportunity of most friendly intercourse, where all classes together in such hippy social harmony, and all expressed their thanks and lively gratitude to the lady whose liberality and courtesy had enabled them thus to crown their jubilee celebrations in so delightful manner.

Talke - Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds. A.U. - On Saturday evening the officers and committee of management in connection with the above lodge met in the lodge-room at the Swan Inn, and in full regalia marched in procession to Linley Hall, to initiate the Misses Marsh-Caldwell as honorary members of the society. The ladies have given substantial held to the society in the shape of an annual subscription for the last twenty years, and it seemed only fitting that the members should be wishful to bring such tried friends into a closer relationship than that of mere subscribers.

The officers explained the principles upon which the society is based, and instructed the ladies into the mysteries of the Order. After the ceremony had been gone through, they presented the ladies in question with a beautiful emblem of the Order neatly framed. - In responding the Misses Marsh-Caldwell expressed the pleasure it had given them to listen to what had been said, and said they were sure that if the principles of friendly societies such as that represented were carried out, the working class would be greatly benefited. Three cheers for the ladies and the singing of the National Anthem brought the meeting to an end.

A Fact for Earl Fortescue - Mr Heath, of Anstie Grange, has addressed the following letter to those holding allotments at Anstie Farm:-

"It has been a great pleasure to me to see the good use which has been made of the allotments taken up last year, and I shall be glad on next quarter-day (if it be your wish) to extend your respective plots as far as the nearest furrow in the field. The additional pieces of land would each be measured and charged at the same rate as at present. Someone of your number should let me know your wishes before Septermber 7." 

From inquiry in the village of Coldharbour, we learnt that such allotments were let at the rate of 4s. for 20 rods (which is equivalent to 32s. per acre), and that, in spite of the dry season, the holders were satisfied with the produce of their allotments. 

Had landlords all over the country been wise and considerate enough to adopt Mr Heath's plan (says a contemporary), there would have been little need for an Allotments Bill.

A Salvation Army Row.

At the Dorking Petty Sessions on Saturday - Before W. Gordon Clark Esq., (Chairman), Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, Col. de Cette, Capt. Scovell, J.N. Hampton, A.C. Powell, and L.M. Rate, Esq.

Norby Hall was charged with assaulting James Nightingale, a member of the Salvation Army, on August 24th.

Mr Ranger, barrister, said the Salvationists had met with considerable opposition in the town, and the ill-usage of the roughs had been carried to such an extent that the army had felt it necessary to ask the Bench for protection. 

The evidence showed that the complainant and others were returning from a meeting at the "barracks," they were followed by a crowd of people and pushed about.
Witnesses swore positively that defendant struck complainant, and was fined £1 and 15s, 6d. costs.

William Walter Baton, the sewage works foreman, and John Spooner were then summoned for assaulting Frederick J. Chart on the same say.

Mr White, solicitor, of Guildford, defended.

Mr Ranger said Baton had the honour of being captain of the Skeleton Army. Mr White protested against these statements being made to prejudice the minds of the Magistrates. 
Mr Ranger disclaimed any such intentions, and said Chart was a soldier of the Salvation Army. 

The Chairman - We don't recognise any army here.

Mr Ranger would say, then, that he was a a member of the missionary society, and he should show he was struck by both defendants. - - - -In the evening considerable commotion was caused in the town by the Skeleton Army turning out in great force, and marching about the principal thoroughfares singing, shouting and yelling.

Conservatism in Lincolnshire - Mr A.R. Heath M.P., for the Louth Division of Lincolnshire on Thursday evening addressed his constituents at South Elkington near Louth. Mr W.H.Smyth occupied the chair, and there were also present Major Locock, Captain Smyth, Mr I.Bainbridge, Mr Charlse Smyth, Mr C. Hurst, Mr J. Stone, Mr Tytler, Mr J.D. Hough and several ladies. The Chairman, referring to the Allotments Act, expressed his willingness to grant as muich sa three or four acres of land to each labourer on his estate. He advised labourers, however, not to be led away with the idea that they were to have land for nothing. He was prepared to let allotments at a fair rental - a trifle more per acre than the large farmers paid, in order to cover the necessary expense. (Cheers.) Mr J.D.Hough moved and Mr W. Tytler seconded a vote of confidence in the Government. Mr A.R. Heath M.P., supported the resolution and showed the government deserved the confidence of the country for the fearless and straight-forward manner in which they had grappled with the Irish difficulty, which he believed was now in a fair way for settelement. He dwelt at length upon the Allotments Act, which he explained in detail and pointed out that numerous allotments already granted by his father, Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, were in every way working satisfactorily. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr Bainbridge, seconded by Mr Hurst, a vote of thanks was given to Mr Heath M.P., for his address.

Chit-Chat - Admiral Heath is of opinion that collisions at sea can be to a great extent avoided simply by the observance of the nautical "rule of the road," and by adhering to the law which provides that where there is any possibility of collision the steamer shall keep out of the way of the sailing vessel. The reason for this provision is sufficiently clear; the steamer has command over it own motive power, and the sailing ship has not. Admiral Heath hints that the tendency of the steamers is to go only a little out of the way, and, after the manner of the enterprising hansom-driver, to run as close as possible to the opposition vehicle.
