And Lord Palmerston treated bin with derlsioc, and mead in clined to tramp.. him under foot. He denved some moo lotion Peas tin saying of an old British statesman—fir. 'finery, who sew a man beating another when he was on t;.. emend, and when he remonstrated with him, telliog him that it was not like an Englishman to act in that way, the man replied, " If you had had as much trouble is genius him down as I have, you would not lot him off without a kick or two." (Gnat lughter and cheep.) Well, he (Nr. Lewd) was up again--(" hest, hear," sad cheers) —and when he said that he stood aloes he made a mistake, for what had happened that evitolue had snows him that he did not stand alone. (Great cheering.) He was told that after the landed interest the army interest was the strongest in the limns of Commons. That was not teas sad it would have bees soarer the fact if it had been said that the " Guards" iaterest was strong in the hones. Then Were, however, few representatives in the House of Commons of the regimental effigies and soldiers. TM army was repressand in the Hones of Co..nell. by thou who owed their rise to the very eruption of which the country complained. he would deem • way by which at once to put down the greatest evil *Web existed in the army—the system of purchase. (Hear, bear.) All the military authorities, including Sir de Laey lbw, whom be considered the greatest among them—(load meets)—were opposed to the system of parches*. It was a apses to the nation and the wonder of foreign nations OS Mon should make an hocourable profession like of saddler the subject of purchase a. d isle. Whoa that any attempt was made to pat an end to it, Lord Palmenton and others said it woe true that it was en evil, but then you must consider the vested iaterests of those who had par chased commi.siore, sad whom the country could not afford to pay off. He (hr. Layard) was not desirous that Wieldiest elwald be done to vested interests, sad we should always be tinder with vested interests, bat he +said point out a way by which the purchase system could be done away with without loss to the bidividuals or the country. In cones- I gown of the war more than half the commissions which bad been granted within the last six months had been granted without purchase. He said it was unjust that a man who obtained a commission gratis should be allowed to sell it. Then let it be said that from this day every com mission that was given without purchase should continue to be given without purchase. (Hear, bear.) Let that be said by that meeting ; their word would go forth to the army. He had been throe months with the army, not with the g lor staff, but with the regimental officers, and he knew their opinion of the system of purchase, and the man ner is which rewards were distributed, sad their feeling was one he would not say of indignation, but of deep de- Wig. They knew they had no charm of rising, that that was confined to a few favoured individual.. What wail I these men think and say of those who sucported this argo naut, when they knew that they were 'rucking for Shen, fee the principle that every deserving man, and be only, anould be rewarded ? (Hear, hear.) That was a pilot which might be fairly worked. When the administrative reform movement commenced, the government leas &lately said they also would make reforms. What had they done ? They had united the ordnance and Um army under one head, but that was a thing that bad bees tel of for years. He remembered Lord Penmen*, is latrodacing that measure and speaking of the appointments which he was about to make, said that they could emphati cony show the " right man in the tight place." Who were the persons appointed ? These appointments bad been commented on by the Times and the Daily Naos. One of the gentlemen was Lord Pumure's own nephew, whose great practice beamed to be that he had been private secretary to the minister, and in his plats Captain Ramsay was placed, and no doubt his position of pri vate secretary would be considered a future claim to the other appointment. They were told that the bast men were to have the plates, and the places were given to Ramsays, and Russells, and Greys, and, therefore, it must be sauteed that they were the hest men. The process was like those mental pussies that used to be current in former days, and of which that el Dr. Johnson was a specimen when he said— hey entertained doubts of its ultimate success. Of this 1, they might test a . H od, .114, the ',mutant such persons wou ld appear rip the .. list ot the association when this amoci- ation tied attained, at pluse Gad it would attaio, • her and flood ram"' of success—(bear, bear); hut he trusted that when tin day of triumph cam., the public would take rave that it should he enjoyed by those ono hod really won .c. (Willem ) This coontry had, as he had before remarked, begs enjoyed (-emanative peace. During that time they lad almost been led to believe that war had become imps "ibis. A small bat very influential party in this country, in decade' from the greet and distinguished tektite of its leaders, bed end, Renoir I. and not without PIC:VO, is propmente their pe-culiar npini no in England. He 3.:1:i,e , of emirs.. to that party which was vulgarly called the pease•at-sorprieri party. He believed met the opinions advocated by those gentlemen were •o-English cod den gems. (Court) If saltation' had slumbered ice them selves, if the arta of peace aad civilisation had succeeded to these of war, they might bare gone on attending to th ei r *WS cowmen.. But, unfortanately, ambition never slum bered. (Hear, bear.) There wen those who had been waiting to see them in a deep slumber, and ready to take advantage of it. They bad been rudell , awakened from their dream. Nor, he believed that tivideneo never sabered great Emery to be inflicted en mankind without a geodobject, sad setting aside political considerations, one of the good results of the present war was the commencement of an association whose foundation they were met together Oat evening to celebrate. (Hear, bear.) If that won had sot taken place it would have slumbered too long. Now, he i did not wish on that occasion to enter into political consi derations in coalmines with the war ; rut be would appeal even to members of the Peace Society whether, as the omen try was engaged in a war, it should not be the desire of all that it might be carried ea in a manner which would be mat consistent with the honour and dignity of the country, end which was due to the position which this country held smug nodose ? (Hew, hear.) Oa that point he thought they must ell be agreed. Wait, then, bed been the case with regard to the conduct of this war ? It was sit very well to throw blame upon systems end to ex culpate persons. Th../ were all aware that be was a member of the Sebastopol committee ; and is the iomury which woe conducted by that committee then was hardly a single fault which was not attributed Illitiser to the system or to poor Mr. Ward, who died many Meths ago, and whom, therefor*, it was perfectly safe to blame. He believed, however, that to this system but )fie of what bad occurred was to be attributed—it was to be eatrilisted used, to the fact that nearly . inc had been mismanaged. Tbe indignation of the public at length eget • form which led to an attempt to remedy the evil. Tbs, bebastopel committee was appointed. That committee bad published the evidence in three large blue books, sad if at some fature period the wont enemy of Ragland were seeking means to ealumaiate her, and to show bow hollow her institutions were, he could net promote his object more effectually than by reproducing thaw three books—(hear, hear)—records of incompetency, asemrds of isdideresce to suffering, rut ids of ignorance. MISR& of obstinancy, which had cast slums upon us and 11.11. oar system. but fortunately they could also point to *Maces of heroic suffering, endurance, and virtue which tho world had newer 'goaded. (Cheery.) Amid the suffer lags of our army a ray of hope at length appeared. But whence did it come ? From the midnight lamp of that heroic woman—(gnat cheering)—oho passed alone down what bad been well described as " miles of agony," sad from 1 the funds of private benevolence administered by one who had n seen war or known sickness of such • character and who was chosen merely fur his intelligence and suitable ness for the performiace of the duty entrusted to him. 'Teen all the great appliances of the nation, which had cost minims of taxation, were found totally unable to meet the oessaion—(near, hear)—if anything important happened jsad if anything could give the country a lesson it was this), gaily improvement bad taken place, it came from private suggestions, and every substantial alleviating of seffering bad been the work of private charity. (Hear, hear.) Neese they to theorised at that state of things, when they had on record in the examination of the ministers, of Lord Aber deen, the Duke of Newcastle, nod of Mr. Sidney Herbert, that during the two months while the greatest events were occurring in which the country was ever engaged, and daring which her honour and dignity were pledged as they cosseil was held ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Every member of the cabinet, except one or two, and let justice he done to them, they were the Peelites, was away &mooing him- self in the country, and those very men were those who were now is power. Again during the whole time of the expedition up to the month of December. the government had no information whatever, and Lord Aberdeen geld that ; • the information of the government was derived almost en- I tirely from the reports is the public papers. (Hear, hear ) Look at the ev.dence of the generals employed with the army. They hod said that the army was newt to the • Cries, as regarded appliances and Comforts, i hat ' as the army was sent to 'the Peninsula, and thus while the public generally had bun Adopting every modern invention those who were fiestas I our battles were left in the same condition es the I ' widish of fifty years ago. Lord Harding , took greet credit 4 to himself for introducing the Minis rifle into the army, i but it had been long adopted in every army in Europe, and 1 • entnufactuttr might just as well at this day take credit to I himself for introducing steam power into his machinery. , Bat, in fact, the soldiers were sent to the Crimea with old I sass, old tents, old habits, and old manners. Could the I result be other then that wh ichi had heppened, andthousends I of valuable lives had been sacrificed not on the bloody shrine ' of war, but on the shrifts of incompetency, obstinacy, and neglect. (Hear, hear.) Such bei' g the case, was it needled to sets it the Administrative Reform Society was I necessary? Was it sot necessary that the deep-seated indigsant mutterings of the people should find • voice That was the object of the society. He was told that the SU:CUM at the seat of war of which they had lately heard , had done away with the objects of the society (Hear, I i Gear, and "No.") S hue time ago, when intelligence sr- rived from the Crimes, and it was asked in the House of Commons to have it communicated, it was said that if such communications were made the cypher would be - discovered; but when anything turned up in favour of the government nothing was said about the cy pber, and you Mul "Lord Panmore's and Mr. Osborne 's enaptiments "to the newspapers every hour. (Hear, bear.) He was not so unpatriotic as to have believed that we 'build setter have successes; he did not believe from the beginning that we should have nothing but • series of re verses. No; he always believed that we should eventually be secs-eful. Carry out administrative reform, and Sebes topol and a great many other thiess would he ours. But, potting aside that, did not our successes afford an araument is favour of the society ? After • lung period of inactivity, a new and vigorous man was appointed to the ChM mead of the French army. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) What followed ? His name was mutely mentioned in the united camps than suave followed. The fact of the right man having been appointed encouraged the troops, and mous followed, and would follow if things went on on the same principle. (Great cheering.) There was another rearm why be said you should keep up this movement, sad let the world, and let our troupe know it was going on. To whoa did we owe our successes? Was it to the com manding officers of the Staff? Was it not to those heroic sea who bad through a long winter of suffering kept up their courage and their spirits, and were now rea.y to undertake anything s (Tremendous cheering) As yet all the honours bad been showered on what the Tsmss oanespoudent called the " coked hats" of the thaff. Letthse society and the people stir w that they were pee l° shower the honours on those who deserved them. Hear, bear," and cheers.) Let it go forth to the men in the "Hear, rises who were watillieg this movement, that they were struggling on behalf of the regimental officers and soldiers, and that their one object was fair Mu for all end honours foe thole who deserved. them (Loud cheers.) That win lalavirage these men for the light, and they would be ever lastingly grateful to thou who thus supported them, and wise would be thus only doing their duty to them and their ecastry. (Hear.) He would maintain that no mecum need camp the ardour of the society. He was told that the enisty bad no definite objects. (Hear, bear.) He sup posed that cheer was a symptom that some one thought that was possibly the cue, but be differed from that opinion. Hs would maintain that the address of the society contained caw sod definite ideas. He was prepared to state the greeds on which the emulation proceeded, and he would do en to gems eaten* that evening, and he should do it folly en Friday next, when the motion of which he bad given seta, ease iss. (Oreat sad tostineed cheering.) And let it be remembered that he had never qe tiled fur a moment with regard to that motion. He certainly did think test beings Whitauptide it would be better to discuss the question oldie war; but the question of administrative reform wee eve disdain in itself, and nothing on earth would induce Ma to give it up. (Hear, hear.) The first object of the moiety was to gain information. There was nothing iodefi site is that, although the gainmg of information involved a anltiplitity of subjects. They could not move without in• ferastioo. Everything connected with the government was searaisded by • veil of mystery, and it was the purpose of the essiety to break through that veil. When the Come Law Lamm was formed a quarter of a million of gamey was collected for a specific object ; and yet the abolition of the corn laws was, to his mad, a secondary °Meet te that of this association. Get the right see into the government, and the abolition of the torn laws, or any whin noxious law, woo d follow of emus*(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) L et those who wished well to this cause enable the society, pecuniarily, to obtain information, and the best men should be employed in get ting such ieforcesti• n. Then came semethieg more tangible is the three great branches of the public service—the army and navy, diplomacy, and the civil service. With regard to the army, that was rather • delicate subject with him. (Hear hear.) He tied made • first attack on it—s kind of B slaklava charge—in which, though he had got • had Mow, he had yet done some mischief to the enemy. On Friday sight he should put himself right with regard to • sligM error which he tad made; sad be yawns* nub to blame is that, for from the complexity of the Mau it was setvery ouy to get at the truth.

(Laughter.) That was a play on words, and the meaning was made convertible, and so it was now, for it was said the best men have the but places ; the Russells, Rentsays, and Greys, have the places, and therefore they are the best men. (Hear, hear, and laughter) With regard to the other appointment he should not say much. Mr. Howell was the partner of the brother of Mr. Hayter, the flosretary to the Treasury. It had bees denied that the ap pointment was made through any party influence, but did say sae think that Mr. Howell could have got it if his serener had not happened to be Mr. liarter'a brother ? (lieu, hear) Although he did not say it might not be a good one. Then look at the diplomatic service. It needed a thorough reform; most of what had happened of late, even the war in which we were engaged, was owing to the defects in the diplomatic service, and lie should have to make some suggestion in that touter in his place in the House of Commons on Friday. He was aware that there was • Cr, spinet secret di:4°lE64l,ost he warned those who took up that cry against indulging in it. Diplomacy must, to • certain extent, be secret, but at the same time there seed not be Igo much concealment emulated with it as was the case now. The third point to which he had to allude was the civil service. That wee, tho most important question. In that respect they bad some grounds to go upon, for an excellent report on the subject had been pub. and things would be greatly improved if the ream. ntemiliations contained in it were only carried out. He would adviie the society to have Liquifies made as to how the business in each office of the government was carried on. Men were put into those offices merely on political grounds, they were over filled with inefficient men, and lisquines should be made whether the number of persons in the civil service could not be reduced, and the work at the same time be well and better done. He thought that the officials in the civil service were under paid, and if proper redaction in their numbers were made, those who were retained would be better paid. The liberal party in this country had made a great mistake in pressing for reduction in salaries of public functionaries, for the result had been that it was not the large salaries of the greater ogle , s whiob had been reduced, but those of the little offices, filled by hard-working men. (Hear, hear.) He woad say put down everything in the shape of a sinecure, but it was an injastice and a cruelty not to pay well those who did the work. (Hear, hear.) There were 60,000 persons con nected with the civil service in all its branches, all of whom were under political influence. He was told that, in the terms of his motion, he had made somewhat of • mistake, and that instead of saying that " the fume viewed with deep con ern the state of the nation," be ought to have said that " the nation viewed with deep con• cars the state of the house." (Laughter and cheers.) Although such terms as had been suggested might have bees rather oat of order, and might have called down the Speaker's mace upon his head—(laughter)—yet he thought they would best have expressed the feeling of the country. (Cheers.) The people were beginning to have less faith is the House of Commons. They saw in it a mere struggle of parties. The association might have to go further thee' they had anticipated. If they could obtain such re• I forms as were most needed, they would sot p beyond; but he believed that the association were peepttall to go—he, for one, certainly was—lS far as might be user sary for the attainment of the object. (Cho. re.) Let met, large town in which a ommittee was organised call upon its representatives, in the words of Lord Oodericb, " not to darken the doors of Mr. Hayter." (Hear, hear ) Ono of the strongest arguments used in favour of the rotten boroughs was that they afforded facilities for bringing forward young men of genius in parliament. It was • reflection upon this country if mea were not now returned who wero fit for such • position. (Hear, bear.) He thought that Mr. Tile was quite right in the course which he had recently pursued, and that the association owed that gentleman • debt of gratitude. Hitherto the Hums of Commons had been divided foto two parties, both resting their power and their strength upon traditions, open family, and apes the representation of a class. Let *webs a sew party, representing not a ease, but the 111.11111111.11 sad feelings of the people of England; relying for sopport see upon family or a class, bat upon the Aegis elf this country; and let this party be celled des gulikessl party. (Cheers.) Hitherto the House of Cu_mens has been arum; on • peat straggle nimiladfal of the people. The members were struggling lit *CO, and knew nothing of what happened oat of doors. They were like gamblers; everything was staked upon • Meow; but the police were already at the door, and if they went os much longer the cards, the players, the lights, and the dice would alibis taken. (Cheers, and laughter.) The erldes had staked very heavily on the liberal card, and they bat stet ; but they showed no gratitude to the liberal card. The .assent they had pocketed the stakes they left the asi WM fate. There was not • man in the cabinet, and sawed/ ass in the subordinate changeable positions, who 11121 SW either a lord or aa honourable. There were bet Om or five exceptions to the rale—Mr. Ball, Mr. Magaman, =done or two others. Tbey were told that • mem wee open in the House of COMINGS to every man at talent Let him ask, was that so? (Loud cries of " No.") A man might rise upon certain conditions ; but haviag born at the trouble of making a list of the whig artaistries for the last 150 years—no very pleasing task— (leughter)—he had found the same names always coming se, with one exception, that eminent whig historian, Mr. Macaulay. In such cases as this lest there was always • meet of compromive. That explained the attune on that aseasion of Sir William Molesworth and Sir Benjamin Hall, of whom he might say, " If they had not been there, they would have been here." (Laughter.) If there were any mat who might well have been expected to alter the system, that mast was Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) Lard Palmerston was carried into power pre. oedema,' by the people. Yet in his case they had, for the gnat rime, usa a Prime Minister who had jested at the sufferings of the imam He had never seen Lord Pals mentos is Am wheal* bad sot vilified the people. (Yer• premien. of dissent.) Let them read the reports of the debater, and see whether each was not the cue. (No, so.) One of Lord Palmerston's objections to this movement was that it was an attack on the aristocracy. He (Mr. Lava) denied that se completely as hie friend in the chair bad leei. (Cheese.) It was so compliment to the aristocrat* taymg draftK pub& maplomsents were thrown open to fair seepo *Noy they would be iseladed. (Hear, hear.) The mew elides mold require great *serfdom; it would require ors who westil ester lam the work with boast boar% with snealleh dome, sad with adetermisatiou to weevers twill the Ogee bed bees seared. He believed their chairman to be mob a mos as be bed described, and rejoiced to me him is that purities. (Ohms.) In the words of are address (snot by the committee, "If they wanted an honest Rent,' they must choose their members honestly." (tZtleer.) Let their motto be, "Fitons, not favour;" and if they were asked what ware the objects of the maculation, let them reply in the words of the Immortal Shakspeare, who expressed the sentiments not only of the Englishmen of his day, but of Englishmen in all thaw - - - - Who will go about w i thout fortune, Mad be honourable the stamp of malt?

How many then Should COTO' that amod bare ; w many De eumreautkil that onnobind. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid repeated rounds - - - - of applause. Mr. LINDSAY addressed the meeting nest. He said he NMI befits the meeting as a plain man of business, having no pretensions to eloquence, and dealing chiefly with facts. He sad others who agreed with him bad too large a stake to be amenable to the chugs of seeking to overthrow the constitution. They did not make war against the constitution, but they contended 'that the government of eke country ought not to be vested in a family clique. Some denied that such was the case; but his reply was that if any one of the number were to die iatestate, some of the sus vivors would claim his property by right of kin, and be able to prove the claim in a court of law. (Laughter.) Although this movement had already to a certain extent urged on those in °face, and led fir the ship to p to the engineer, and that it would oost the country less, act the engineer weld come over to Deptford for 4d., and the ship would out 1001. in going to Wool wich. The Admiralty ordered the ship to go dome, but the owner said that he would not send her dowo, andl that he would rather take her away from there. Hal could go into a dozen cuss of similar anstosnagement, , the details of which would make their hair stand on sad Tide was a very serious question, ant manly as regarded the 1111111 deanery, but as regarded the disgrace such edam. nelantend was bringing upon x He need not lIMMIBH IbMII that the great cause of the disasters of our army in the Hut um from mismanagement. Some 90,000 or 100,000 Mesa atom had been salt to have he.,, sent out to feed our I may in the Ba-t, and yet our soldiers had starved uncared lair, and died like dogs in ditches. Oa -the 29th of January I he had moved for a return of those store*, and five months afar he bad obtained it ; but although there was in the re turn mounts of other things there was not a word about these stores in it, and he did not mean to let the govern ment pass by with respect to it. Re had also moved for a return of the number of transports employed; and, again, after five months' delay, he had got it, but it was full of the grossest errors, such as, if they had been committed by a clerk 'Able, he would dismiss him immediately. He ut. tended, if he found that the mistakes is the return were such as he thought, is • repre sentative of the people, to insist that the men who made it out should be dismissed from the public service. (Loud cheers.) That was the way to gm I the right men in the right places. (Loud cheers.) He was aware that by the course he was taking he was makieg many personal enemies, just as his hon. friend (Mr. Layard) was. But he cared nothing for that, and while he took on himself Unissued respensibility of a representative of the people no threat of personal injury to himself should clue his lips or prevent him performing his duty, or carrying out the lured trust committed to him by those who had sent him to represent them. The practical object of the society was to diminish and destroy the iellunces by means of which incapable men were placed in offices in the public service. (The boa. gentleman here read an extract from the published address of the society to the above effect.) He should like to see this society go band in hand with parlia mentary reform. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) You would never have the right men in the right places till you got the right men into parliament. (Hear, bear.) He wished to see means taken to put down bribery and corruption at elections. (Cries of the "Ballot.") Oh! he was an ad vocate for the ballot. He knew what a csntested cleaner against strong influences was. Yet he shoulc. aka the society ti looe sight of its one ob ject, that is. the correction of the mismanagement and abuses which arose from the system of parliamentary patronage, and that system must be abolished entirely. He believed its abolition would be supported by members of parliament, who would rather that the system did not exist ; for it was simply a nuisance to them. It was said that no government could exist without patronage. Such govern ments as thou of Lord Aberdeen or Lord Palmerston might not; and any government which could not be carried on by its own istrinsio merits and by means of the confidence of the people and the House of Commons, such a govern ment ought not to exist for a moment. (Loud cheers.) Mr. W. TITS, 111 P., next addressed the meeting, and adverted to the novelty of his position on that occasion es • scientific man who had rarely until now mixed in political matters ; he alluded to the contest he had recently bad for the representation of Bath, aid declared that be owed his success in a place where he was quits unknown entirely to his !ohm the representative of the principle of adminis trative reform, • principle that was adopted after it was found to have served him so well by his opponents, just as in another place the opponents of Mr. Layard and other administrative reformers were beside Ding to adopt that principle also, and endeavouring strip them of the honour which belonged to the movement The hon. member then quoted Napier's " History*, the Peninsular War," to show that at that time official incom potency led to results similar to those wh ch had been re• cently witnessed in the Crimea. He then adverted to the subject of patronage, and was proceeding to quote the lints from Shakspeare, which he said appeared to him apposite, commencing "O that estates, &c.," when be was inter rupted by a roar of laughter, analog from the fact that the same lines had been previously quoted by Mr. Layard. The hon. gentleman explained the apparent oversiaht by observ ing that he was not present when Mr. Lapsed spoke, and observed that the sentiment expressed would bear repeti tion. He concluded by expressing his belief that the movement, if rightly and perseveringly conducted, woulu be crowned with success. Mr. OTWAY, said he had heard it remarked else where that they wen theorists, with no practical object; but he thought that what had been said that evening by the chairman (Mr. Layard) and by Mr. Lindsay, gave the most emphatic denial to that smartie°. (Cheers.) He could imagine no objec• more practical, especially at the present moment, than that of ensuring good government foe this country. (Hear, hear.) The civil service should, he thought, be open to every man in the country who could show that he possessed the necessary qualifications (Cheers.) And not only should all be &duels sible, but the prises, instead of being reserved for those who had the ocinmand of influence, should be awarded to hard-working and competent persons who had proved their capacity. In defence of the system of purchasing commissions in the army, it had been said that it was impossible to define merit. It was merit that regulated promotion in this case, if non-commissioneu dilate, and even if adjutants:, why should not the same principle be ap plied in other canes ? (Hear, hear) There was in this country an institution which wai founded especially for the education of officers of the staff, upon whose efficiency the success of military operations so greatly de pended. He had • return of 136 officers employed on the staff in the Crimea. Of these 136 officers, how many had shown their qualification by obtaining certificatae at Sandhurst? Why, nine, some of whom were generals. Then, again, as regarded diplomacy, there had been lately published • little work setting forth the names and services of all the individuals employed in the diplomatic profession, and the results were curious. They had two ambtssadora, and no more; both were peers. They had 22 ministers, of whom five were peen, six sons of peers, two baronets, and three paternally nephews of peers. Of the 22, 16 were either peers or neer relations of peers, leaving only six for the other classes in the state. They had three secretaries of embu-lee. Of these one was a peer, one the son of • peer, and one a commoner. They had twenty-two secretaries of legation, and ten of these were sons of peers, and the names of:five others showed that they were nearly connected with peers. Of the 124 ap pointments of which the diplomatic service was composed sixty-four were secured by the peerage. (Hear, bear.) Was it, he asked, a proper state of things—was it fair to the intelligent middle classes of the country, that a great profession like that should be monopolised by the peerage ? (Cheers.) It had sometimes been said : It is very well o talk of having the right man in the right place, but how are you to determine who is the right man ? (Hear, hear.) Well, that was not always passible; bal l there was one thing that was always possible, and that was to say who was the wrong man. (Hear, hear.) The hon.' Imember concluded by referring to the Affghanistan war, I as affording by its:dimmers under one set of commanders, audits triumphs under a succeeding set, a striking illustra tion of the advantage of selecting the proper men to serve the public. At the conclusion of Mr. Otway's speech the meeting was about to be dissolved, it being then ten o'clock ; but there were loud and coot nued crie. for Sir Charles Napier, who at length came forward, amidst loud cheers. Sir C Karma then said that he had not words to express his thanks for the reception they had given hint—a reten tion he had no right to expect, being a man who had been dismissed from his command. He was not then prepared to address the assembly, bat had come there merely as en observer. He, however, intended to join the association, believing that the safety of the country depended on its sumac What they had seen it the Crimea, and the dis asters which had happened to the army, showed that reform was required in ovary office under the crown. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the meeting was now at an end ; votes of thanks to the chairmen having been agreed to be dispensed with, and it was now 10 o'clock. Mr. Bennoeh and other gentlemen would address the next meeting, which he hoped would be on that day fortnight. The proceedings then terminated. to a show of doing something, them was still a large amount of gross mismanagement; and he must, t►erefo», ask their attention to some plain facts bearing on that point. About six week, arm a brave soldier who was very well known to them all, Sir De Lacy Evans— (cheers)—asked him (Mr. Lindsay) in the House of Com mons if the scarcity of shippiog was still as great es it had been ? He replied that it was not, and that there was ship ping to be found at mat moment to any amount. Sir De Lacy Evans said, " That is very strange, for I have been waiting for more than a month to send out three thousand hone* to the division whichl commanded in the Crimes, which is very much in want of horses. I have bonoht the bor.'s, but the Admiralty tell me they cannot find tonnage to send them out." He (Mr. Liaasay) made inqui ries at various places in the City with the view of ascertaining whether suitable ships could not be obtained to convey these horses. He afterwards wrote to Sir De Lacy Evans a letter, which, by that gentleman's desire, he should now read to the meeting, observing before doing so, that on the previous evening the gallant general said he was sorry that the delicate state of his health would not allow him to attend the meeting, and that the letter was to be regarded as his protest against the present mis-mmage. ment of the war. The following was the letter in question : - "8, Austinfrian, City, May 1. "Dear Sir De Lacy Evans.---You mentioned to me a short lime sines that you were anxious to see sent out some 3,000 hinge for the division of the army you commanded in the But. and that though the horses were ready, the govern ment over and over again told you they could not find ships. I expressed my surprise to you, and I thought that where there was a will there was surely a way. I referred, and found that at the very time the government were telling you they could not find ships, a friend of mine had in one letter offered to Lord Penman a inastoificent fleet of, I dare say, the finest and swiftest ships in the world, ready in 24 hours' notice to convey at the low rate of some 16s. or 17s. rer ton register, 2,200 horses from this country to the Crimea, and that the only answer he received was the usual one that it would be considered. That day I suppose that important letter was popped into the great big waste basket at the War Office, or sent to the Admiralty and lost in the chaos which there appears to reign supreme, for he heard no more about it. These ships have, of course, since that time all gone on other voyages. Last night. in • he house, you told me again that the horses were rill eating their heads cff, while our army prayed for them in the But, and that the same cause kept them here—no ships, at least, no suit able ships. It is sad to think of all this perverse—what shall I call it?—perverse imbecility, if not something worse. I spoke to my friend in the City this morning, and here is another fleet all ready for your horses at about the same low rates. They are all ships averaging from 1,200 to 2. 100 tons re gister, and could carry in safety the winner of borsea lazed te each :—Beacen Light would take 160 bones; Alen. 180; Sifted°, 220; Conseil& Lawrence, 175; Chariot of Fame, 200; Star of the Empire, 180; James Chilton, 130; Ben min Thaver, 140 ; Aurifers, 100; Pride of the Sea, 180; Weisel's'', 165; Neptune, 230; King Lear, 230; Panther, UM; Conway, 170-2.660 horns in all. He will also fit then ships for the horses; be will feed them, load them, god take them from the fields here to the fields of action in the Crimes, if you like, and lead them, while our govern ment are thinking, or, rather, dreaming, about it. They are all what are called ' clipper ships of about 8 feet height between decks, of known and established speed, and, I might say, that I would stake my reputation upon the face, that they would make the passage to the Crimea in very nigh as short a time as many of the steamers now in the service of our government, and for which they are pay *: more than three times toe price. If, however, steamers are wanted for there horses, I shall undertake to produce men in the City who will find you the requisite number of them within eight days from the date you send them the order, and give you no trouble about the horses, till you heat of them landed sung and safe in the Crimea, with a loss not exceeding 3 tor cent., and fresh for the campsite, which I wish your health would allow you, for the sake of my country, to go and lead. Or, if you only drill me for a couple of weeks in the arts of war—sailor as I am-1 would feel half disposed to leave my dingy desk and go myself. I would do almost as well as some who are there now.-1 an t moat faithfully years, (3igoed) " W. 8. LtstrisoY. "General Sir De Lacy Evans, K.C.8., fltc." the government would not allow City men to do the work Ire them, they would do it themselves, and it was now theme months sisal these horses had been bought, and he sadsrstood the larger part of them had not yet Leen sent mat. (Hear.) The government were certainly now =sk im a push in their own way, but they were doing little real work. He would give another instance. There were two steamers lying in the Clyde, and the government was anxious to have them. The owner was a Manchester mer. shant, and he wrote toe friecd in London, telling him to make a tender of the ships to the government. He did so, and in four or five days he got an answer; but the condi tions attached to the acceptance of the vessels were sash that it was impossible that any man of bul lion could agree to them, and one of them was offered to the French government, who accepted it, and it win sent into the French service. On Thursday last the other steamer ern offered to the government. On Saturday they agreed to accept her on condition that she came root d from the Clyde to Liverpool, to be examined by the govern ment officer there. ("Oh," cheers, and laughter.) His friend wrote to the Manchester merchant to that effect, and the Manchester merchant wrote in reply : It I propositions of the English government, and I do wish above all things that the French government were in the market at present for vessels of her size and OW, and thus give us the opportunity of chartering that ship also, at even a lower price, with a foreign government, and showing up chose precious fellows at the Admiralty, and which! would do through our local prem. The loss to the country by those bungling and ridiculous orders is quite beyond calculation. Who would deal with them who can deal anywhere else?" Not satisfied with that letter he came up directly to London and got the vessel into the French service, and the British service lost another excellent ship. On the 12th of June the neat of the owner thus advised the Admiralty " June 12, 1856. " Sir,—l was duly favoured with yours of the 9th and 11th inst., in reference to the screw steamer The owners declined to incur the heavy expense of sending so large • ship round to Liverpool or Deptford eithout first enemas that your surveyors approved of her ; and they felt that your demand was so unnamable sad unbusinear like, when at so small an expense you m ght have sent a yor to the ship at Greenock, test I have by their orders engageo. the ship elsewhere —I am, air, your obedient servant, 46 To say that things were going on better, In the face of such statements, was absurd. That shipowner said to him that this fact bad ceased him to become • thorough ad miaistratin reformer, and that he would mud 1001. to the society. (Loud cheers.) But that was nothing to another ease he could relate. Just the day before that great ad. minietrator Sir James Graham—(laughter, and " bear, hear"j—left office, a steamer of the value of 60,0001. was lying at Deptford, and the Admiralty hat 12 tons of stores h , itag at Newcastle. The steamer was under orders to go to Teetemoutb to take up trooos Immediately for the Crimea, bat orders were given by the Admiralty to the owner, that is her way to Portsmouth she must cell at Newcastle. (Sheets of laughter, "hear," and cheers.) If this use sot so various • matter for the country, be eesld laugh himself—but to be ordered to go to Newcastle to call for those 12 toss of stores ! (" Hear, bear," god sheers.) The owner wrote to the Secretary to the Admi ralty, saying that those 12 toes mould be brought up from Newmatle for 81, but that it would met the country 2,0001. its the ship to ge round for them. The Admiralty wrote • very angry letter, as if he was presuming to dictate to them, and ordered the ship to go round. The owner again remonstrated, and an order cows down is which it was said that " Sir J. Graham iasiated that the ship should In made ready to go to Newcastle to take in 12 tom of combustibles co the following Monday, on her way to Portsmouth." Still the owner said he meld not put the country to the Met el 2,0001., and be would not let the ship go, let the eon sequesees be what they might. (Load cheers.) In three days. the Admiralty being ashamed to write a contradictory leder, _a letter came from ano th er department at Deptford, in which it was said, " Captain Ardis begs to inform Mr. —(cries of" a -me, name")—he would give the name to any one in meadow*, but he did not think he should be required to smelt publicly. Well, " Captain Austin begs to inform " Mr. —, that it extesqmnee of • tele paphie menage jut received, it is not intended that his ship should go to the Tyn e , as the articles at Newcastle will be sent theme to oolwich." (Hear, bear.) And so they feud est their mistake at lees (Hem, hear.) He had got mother ems still more monstrous.

Orders MN fees the Admiralty to the owner to take her round to Woolwich, in order that the engineer might walk on board. ('. Hear, hoer," and laughter.) The owner answered that Ii would be better for the gallium to some le the ship thaw ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS—Yesterday the second exhibition of fruit and flown took plate at the Berreat's. park. Although the morning looked lowering, there was men than an average gathering of fashionable society. Indeed, the grounds have not been so well attended for some years past.

This insolvent, a respectable-looking man, applied to be discharged from the Queen's Prison. Mr. Sargoad op. posed for Mr. Waters., British wins and vinegar maker. Mr. Reed supported. The me presented some remarkable features. The insolvent, who was discharged under the act on a former occasion, bad upwards of 30 residences in his schedule, where he had pursued his occupations for a short time, and had appeared before the public in several aliases. There were upwards of 200 creditors on the schedule, and the debts were nearly 6,0001. He had been known as " Wilson and C 0.," also as " Ward and C 0.." and latterly, before he went to prison, as" Hobson and C 0.," in the naphtha line. He was arrested and taken to Orford Castle, from which place he was removed by habeas corpus to the Queen's prison. On his application to this court his petition was dismissed, for the wantofjuriediction. The insolvent, however, remained in prison, and had obtained permission to file another petition. The question was again raised, and atter consideration the commissioners gave the insolvent leave to be beard in Lon de*. To-day was appointed for the hearing, and Mr. Waters, the complainant, seas examined. and from his evi dence it appeared that in November, 1819, his traveller, Lamb (now dead) sent him au order for 641., in the name of " Ward and Co., of Rochester." The goods were sent as directed, and both the insolvent and the goods quickly disappeared. Had Mr. W known the insolvent was the same person who applied to him in the preceding An• gust as of Bedfordrquare, Commercial-road, he should have known be belonged to a gang of swindlers. He (Mr. Waters) had been made a victim of the parties, and bad pursued the insolvent at an szpense of upwards of 1001. It was through the conduct of his traveller that he had been a sufferer. The insolvent was esamined as to his residences and occu , nations, as also as to a number of debts he had omitted because they were barred by the Statute of Limitation. It appeared toat he had been in prison for 16 months, and has petition was Sled in March last. The case was urged upon the court as one of a swindling character, and for the sake of th, trading community a I lengthened judgment was prayed. Mr. Reed contended that alter an imprisonment of 16 months the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. Mr. Commissioner Murphy gave his opinion on the case as it was to be adjourned to insert creditors. Since he had bad a seat in this court he had never seen a more perfect swindle. Cases had occurred in which, although compelled to give adverse judgments, he had felt for the insolvents; but in this case there had been a gross systematic swindle. Here was a person with 31 residences, several aliases, with debts to 4,8001., going to Mr. Waters, in London, and being refused goods ; he then sent an order es from Rochester, as Ward and Co." The gown were admitted to have b een sent to London within six days, and disposed of by one Foster. It was "diamond cut diamond" u between the insolvent and Feeler. It was a very gross case, and the answer was that the insolvent bad been sixteen months in prison. In such a case be should not con sider the imprisonment the insolvent had undergone, but act upon the case as it he had only been is prison from the vesting order in April. He was clearly of opinion that a debt had been incurred with Mr. Waters by false pretences, and the judgment would be an imprisonment of 18 calendar months. The judgment was deferred to insert some creditors. Wished 1620.—N.8. No tops ore gratfats except trumped with ha name and address; all olh, ram sourioto. ;natation,. .1.

Dennis Sullivan, aged 27, a ticket of-leave man, was charged with assaulting a constable in Charles•street, Drury lane. Police-constables 79, 152, and others, of the F were endeavouring to disperse a riotous mob in the above locality, when a ferocious attack was made upon the police by the prisoner and roma of his companions. It was stated that the prisoner was trantported for seven years, is 1851, for a robbery on the per eon ; previous to which he underwent a term of imprisonment for disabling two policemen in the discharge of their duty. He had been recently tibereted on ticket of leave. Mr. Henry committed him to hard labour for • month. CLERKENWELL. Mr. Hicks, the Isiinctun relieving officer, waited upon Mr. Corrie, with Teletypes to the cue of the boy Edwin Williams, whose father wu stated to have been killed in the Bieck Sea (as reported in our police intelligence of Tues day). Mr. Hicks said that sines Mr. Corrie had made an order for the lad's admission into the workhouse, be (Willisme), in accordance with hie worship's desire, had been strictly questioned. He could in no way point out where he had lived, but said be had been in the habit of gaimg to school in the Tottenham-court road. When taken there be could not point out any precise spot, although be could find his way to King's-cross. On Tuesday, when out with the workhouse officer, be contrived to give him the slip, and he had not been seen since. According to appearances, the story of the boy was trumped up to p: event his being locked up. Mr boy was gad the ease had been ,inquired into ; the public bad sabrcribed to a necessary tuna, and it was right that they should not be imposed upon. At a later hour, a gentleman from the Patriotic Fund attended, and said that it the cue had turned out favour able, the boy would be looked to and eared for. It was a most artful story. MARKETS. -B.
