LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 2. 11r.itoi.. constancy was rewarded yesterday in the dsahiug little army that mustered on the Brighton Downs. Whilst disgusted Londoners were soaking and seething i u a muggy mist, Lord RANZLAOH'S eagles were soaring in the rays of an unclouded sun. Wo wish we could equally congratulate the gallant metropolitans who were not to be seduced ' by martial mimicry beyond the safer precincts of Wiuibl-don. A patient drizzle and a raw shrewd wind on a Common may be fitly described, no doubt, as the concentrated essence of the small miseries of suburban warfare ; but regarded in detail, the Wimbledon campaign was too limp and woe-begone a business to deserve to be immortalised in Homeric verse, and the midday bulletin which announced to anxious wives and mothers that the rain was pouring down in tor rents on their bewildered warriors was, we fear, the nearest approach to a gazette of " killed and " wounded" which the Muse of History has to re cord in the Easter annals of domeaticchivahy. Let it not be supposed, however, that Easter Monday was a blank on the mudatained scroll of the militant , patriotism of England. For yesterday afternoon at Sheffield—the classic workshop of "cold steel"— the doughtiest of non-combatant volunteers—the ANCIENT PLSTOL of the British Parliament—was eager to sound the alarm against the absent enemy, and in the city of sword-blades to cry war to the knife against unbelievers in the incorrupti bility of an Austrian convert. One must go to Yorkshire for the real old English sports which are almost forgotten in this flabby age. Drawing • morose DioosNas from his tub must have been a poor juke compared with the modern exhibition of a true British bull-tether on his hind legs de fying the l'uiverse. And the spectacle of a bull terrier, who in the decline of life has been taught the graces of a lapdog, and who snarls compla cently with blunted teeth over a burglar's bone, is a warning to animals who have abused their natu ral ferocity in early life. The citizens of Sheffield have been enjoying an exhibition of this funny and distressing nature, and we sincerely wish them joy of their local favourite, who shares with the scizzors of the place a celebrity quite European. The ROEBUCK superstition has been one of the most unaccountable eccentricities of English radicalism, and the present position of English radicalism as a party may perhaps bo partly explained by a glance at its Walhalla of superannuated demigods. It is at Bath that the memory of the radical Rossera is most green ; and the effect of Hor ace& worship at Bath has been to make that re treat of faded fashion an insecure anchorage even for ono wealthy Whig. Trne, the Roesvex of Bath was a radical and something more ;7but In those days he was not peculiarly the repre sentative of England, or even of Engliah malcon tents. The ROEBUCK of Sheffield has struck out a new and original path in political representation. The formula he has invented for himself de serves our study in these days of poli tical stagnation. It is a formula so large, elastic, and expansive, that it dispenses with the vulgarand outworn virtues of consistency in opi nions, fidelity to constituents, loyalty to party standards, adherence to professions, promises, or principles. The recipe is simple. Instead of calling yourself a Liberal, a Reformer, a Conser vative, or a Tory, call yourself an ENOLISHIILN. Can any title to the suffrages of your countrymen be more comprehensive or complete than that/ Strut bravely out, and crow stercoroualy ! As a Radical or as a Tory, your field of action is limited. As an EiO;LISIIMAN the very prejudices you presume to impersonate enable you to be consistently inconsistent. A " Liberal " or a " Tory " member is necessarily more or less parochial-minded in his political faith ; but an ENOLISHNI•N has interests, say, say, in the Adriatic to look after besides the mandate of his constituents. He has only to identify himself with "English interests," and Austria becomes incidentally his " ancient and " natural ally." This we believe to bo the fairest interpretation of Mr. ROEBUCK'S imputed Aus trianism, which is nothing but a total self-absorp tion in " English interests," without respect of party prejudices. The Member for Sheffield, in his admirable character of "the EsouauMas," has not perhaps what French actors call thephyNiger de Teen plui. The typical stout peraonani in top boots is the gross terrestrial idea of Jolts ; the Member for Sheffield, with the finger of scorn and the hiss of insular defiance, is the spiri tualized essence of his country's genius, which the mythology of the future will probably represent in the form of a Cobra. If we examine Mr. Roe acmes " second manner" a little more closely, we find that he is not only the representative of EM:LAND, rather than of any borough, but that the principle he embodies is " incorruptibility." Now, the Athenians ostracized ARI.ITIDES because they were tired of hearing him called rue Juin.. If the people of Sheffield ever ostracize Mr. Roa st it will be when they are tired of hearing him call himself "the Incorruptible." Yet Mr. Rol et - ea deserves sympathy in the some what invidious position he has assumed. As the model Englishman, he naturally excites jealousy of members of Parliament who b, w inglishmen only in the ordinary sense, are - " the Incorruptible "he provokes and as ra of members who have the bitters... THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1861. never professed to be more honest than their fel lows. We dare say this is why Mr. Roxsucx could not enjoy the hospitalities of the Austrian Governor, Vox TonaIENBURG, at Venice, or bask in the smiles of Archduchesses at Vienna, in com pany with the Tory member for the Galway line of steamers, without its being said that his Shef field liberalism had lost the fineness of its edge. We shall not notice the greaser charges levelled against a lean who at least has always had a morbid predilection for falling causes and for losing sides. Far be it from is to believe that an Austrian con caution to Louis NAPOLEON'S most redoubtable enemy in the British Parliament was, after all, nothing more nor less than that secret article of the Treaty of Villafranca, upon which so much indig nant and imaginative gossip was lavished in the House of Commons last year. An undertaking that Mr. Reset should, from a scat on the Tory benches, make Austrian speeches on the Italian question, could scarcely be a lucrative con tract for Mr. Ronan K, as Ms reception yesterday by his constituents abundantly proved. If any thing can reconcile the Austrian Member for Shef field to his English constituents it will be the im passibility of his obtaining a hearing for his ex planations and apologies. A reaction of pity may set in for a representative of Austria, who is obliged to face an English constituency without the protection of Austrian bayonets. We trust, therefore, that Sheffield will give patient audience to Mr. llocsucx on Thursday next, and enable him to give a plain English reason for his newly imported opinions, from which the heart, tho reason, and the conscience of England recoil with indignation and disgust. The people of Sheffield want to know what or whom Mr. Roznrex actually represents in Parliament. Mr. ROEBUCK replies that ho is poor and honest, and on Thura dayhe will probably add that he is au ENGLIBUMAN. ITN Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, APE= 1. The Prince of Leiningen arrived yesterday.

The Bishop of lirroN, in acknowledging the oast, referred to the difficulties which he mid the church had to encounter from enemies to the right and the left, and conlo of whom were within her own bosom ; but added that there was, nevertheless, no period in which her general aspect pre sented stronger ground for congratulation and thanksgiving than at present. In proposing "The Army, the Navy, and the Volun teers," the Loan MAYOR spoke of the brilliant services which the sister seniors had performed is maintaining the honour and dignity of the country, and with respect to the volunteers expressed his hope that, should unhappily any emergency arise to call for their :waistlines, they would prove themselves worthy of the confidence they had inspired in the public mind. General Sir J. &iv:onm, in returning thanks on behalf of the army, observed that these ware not times when we should allow our armour to get rusty, or our powder to grow damp. (Hear, hear.) We were to all appearances, surrounded by friendly nations ; at the same time, when we found them arming to the teeth, it behoved us to pre pare for eventualities, and not to allow ourselves to be in such a position as to owe our existence as a great nation to the forbearance of others, or to expose our vast commercial and colonial interests to danger from foreign assault. (Hear, hear.) It was, he thought, a subject for congratulation that the army was in a state of great efficiency. The volun tears, too, of which he had the honour to be one, would, in case of war, prove of immense importance in preserving the independence of the country, and he could only hope that should the matrices of the army, navy, and volunteers be ali !sq (Hear, uired, they would be found as efficient in quantity as in quty. hear.) Vice-Admiral Cucuta briefly returned thanks for the Navy ; and Mr. Alderman Roax for the Volunteers. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The House of Lords," associating with the toast the name of the Marquis of Clan ricards. The Marquis of CLANRICARDP observed that the HOMO of Lords understood too well the weight of public opi nion in this country not to pay deference to it. It was true that their deliberations were marked by caution and pru dence in considering the measures brought before them, but he was poratnutill that there was no institution in the country which was • more roosistent friend or sincere sup porter of liberty than the House of Lords, or one which was more anxious to promote civil and religious liberty and the best interests of the country. (Hear, bear.) The noble mar " quis in conclusion proposed "The h ealth of the Lord Maior. The, I.OID MAYOII returned thanks, and proposed " The House of Commons and Colonel French." Colonel FRVICH, M.P., Acknowledged theoompliment. The next toast was " The Health of, the Governor of the Bank of England." Mr. BONANY Domes, Governor of the Bank of England, returned thanks. Mr. Cluitt.ms name proposed " The Health of the Lady Mayoress." (Lady Olive, eldest daughter of the Lord Mayor.) He observed that, having been honoured with the permission of their host to propose a tout, be would ven ture to remark that since he had been seated at the table he had found it pleasant to consider (referring as men na turally did to their own 'pursuits), how ill English literature could afford to part with its Lord Mayors of London. The literature of English history losing its lord mayors would lose some of its most noted characters among the eturdy, brave, adventurous, and high-minded of its good old citizens east of Temple-bar. The literature of English ro mance would lose its weathiest London merchant, its most beautiful merchant's daughter, its crossest cook, its beat known foreign adventure, the most profitable investment on record, and its most wonderful cat. (Laughter.) In like warner English biography losing its lord mayors would lose some of its most notable examples of the reward of parse valance and integrity, and the nobility of nal-made men. (Hear.) Even the great English satirist, of whom it was well said his pictures required to be read like works, could no more have dispensed with his lord mayor than any of the rest, for without him he could not have committed his idle apprentice, under circumstances of very touching and powerful contrast, nor could he have rewarded his indus trious one by presenting him at court at the height of his grandeur and fame. In Lis mind—and he was sure in the minds of all who heard him—the Lord Mayor el London never was and could not be complete without a Lady Mayoress—(hmar, hear)—and the Lady Mayoress was the theme of the very few words which he had to add. Within the walls of the Mansion-house the English custom of sepa rating the lords of the creation from the ladies was happily not known ; and he believed that if the sterner sex were polled on the question, they would anive at the unanimous conclusion that they were never so wearisome to themselves or uninteresting to one another as when they were conven tionally supposed to be left quite at their ease. (Laughter.) In venturing to propose the health of the Lady Mayoress, if he were to depart from state and ceremony, arid to say that he had the privilege of long and intimate personal friendship with her when widely diffusing Ler influence in another capital, it would be merely for the purpose of say ing that as the liberality and princely hospitality of the chief magistrate of Loudon could find no fitter female representative in the Mansion-house, so the most whole some influence of an English lady could find no better repre sentative in the capital to which he referred. He begged to propi e s "The Health of the Lady Mayoress." The la ORD MAYOR having replied, pro "The Magistrates of the City of London, and Mr. Alderman Sidney. M.P." Mr. Alderman SIDNEY returned thanks. Other complinieutary touts followed, including "The Sheriffs," "Thee Court of Aldermen," " The City Trea surers," Sic., and the company separated at a late hour. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton, assisted by Mier l'uole, Master Lee, and Mr. Bamford. The band of the Coldstream Guards also attended. The banquet was furnished in the usual tasteful manner by Messrs. Ring and Firmer. Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster. The examination of candidates for direct com missions by the rice-president and members of the Council of Military Education owumeneed yesterday, with the medical examination, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. Ge neral Enollys, the successor of Major-General Rumley, now inspector.general of infantry, assumed his duties as vice president. Major-General Portlock and Colonel Elwyn were the members of the council present. There were close upon 100 candidates on this occasion. ACTION TOIL COSIPENSATION AGAINST THE LONDON AND NORTH WF.STERN RAILWAY.—At the Liverpool assizes yesterday (before Mr. Justice Keating), William Crowther, at Mers. Wolstonholme a n d R o yd' s engineering manager ss establishment at Oldham, sued the London and North Western for compensation for injuries received in con sequence of the alleged negligence of the defendants. Plaintiff we. proceeding front Oldham to Staleybridge, on the 2sith February, last veer, and when the train reached Greenfield station the carriage' ran into a wall, the speed not having been 'sufficiently reduced. The plaintiff was severely bruised, his nervous system sustained a severe shock, the spine was injured, hernia induced, and he had dace been unable to attend properly to his business. A medical man, indeed, had informed him that complete re covery was not to be expected. The defendants had paid 2tlof. into court, and when the plaintiff's case bad been dosed, it WU stated on their behalf that they were not aware the injuries were so severe. A venlict, therefore, by cement, was taken fur a f ur th er sum o f 350 1 ., ma ki ng 554 M. in all. THE SWEARING-KY OF THE NEW LORD WARD-Y. (From thilifailstoite Journal.) At a meeting of the Dover Town Council the other day, some discussion took place with reference to the swearingm of Lord Palmerston as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The Maros said it was necessary that the new Lord Warden should be sworn in at one of the ports ; and it would be very desirable if they could get the consent of the other towns to the ceremonial taking place at Dover. The Tows Using said that all Lewd Wardens in former days used to be sworn somewhere in the neighbourhood of Hytbe, but for the tut two or three oentunes it had been customan for those who were appointed to this office to be sworn in at a pines bearing the euphonious title of " The Devil's Drop." That place was where the Drop Redoubt now stands en the summit of the Western Heights, and there was awe ea the spot an old kora plums, similar to that which now occupies • prominent position within the peecints of the castle. It seemed to have fallen into a state of dilapidation. He had in his possession • plate of the Devil's Drop in the reign of Queen Elisabeth, showing what was its condition in those days ; and he bad bees credibly informed that, when the Drop Redoubt was in course of construetiou, the labourer, not knowing what to do with this mum of concrete materials, buried it is some of the embankments which were then being formed. Probably some members of the council might have seen the picture or plate of the procession that was formed when the Duke of Dame was sworn in in 17130, or there about.. The paining hung up in the large hall at the then Doke of Dorset's mansion of Knole, near Sevenoaks. The artist had portrayed the procession in the act of going up Castle-hill, after the duke had been sworn in, and a very imposing cavalcade, and a greet deal of fuss and show, were circumstances indicating that the event was then regarded as one of great importance. Fer ber* the council would feel it expedient to revive the old custom. They might not feel it that they should appear in scarlet robes and cocked hate ( ughter.)— [The Mayor—And mounted] -but they might deem it desirable to take advantage of the present opportunity to invite the goud co-operation of the Cinque Porte, with the view of giving as air of solemnity to the inauguration ceremony. Ablenean ABTLLY—Do you recollect where the Duke of Wellington's appointment as Lord Warden was inaugurated? The Tows am not quite certain ; but I have ea Ides that it was at the Admiralty. Aldermen ABTLZT. —lt is clear Lord Delhouais was not appointed at the Devil's Drop. (Laughter.) Mr. Yawn said the Dover Harbour Commissioners would bold • meeting at Dover in the coarse of a month, and that it wee expected Lord Palmerston would be here to take part is the business. (A laugh.) If so, he thought that would be a very favourable oecaaion fur celebrating his lordship's appointment. DEATH OT LADY CHARLOTTE BURT.—We havo to ennounce the death of Lady Charlotte Bury, who died, at an advanced age, last evening, at her town residence. Lady Charlotte Bury was well•known in the petits of lite rature from her numerous novels sad literary contributions mono years heck. Her ladyship was the only snrviving daughter of John, sth Duke of Argyll, and was born Jas. 28, 1775, so that she was is her 87th year.

MUSEUM OT PATENT% bona Kr:WM:MON.— Number of rioters for the week aiding March JO, 2,114. Total ember since the opening of the museum free daily (12th May, 1850, 342,0da LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. Count Arc.e, au intimate friend of Count Cavour, is expected to be sent to Pane from Turin. He la said to be charged with the miabion of negotiating the recognition of the new Italian kingdom by France. The Official Gazette of the kingdom of Italy pub lishes a royal decree, organising the internal admi nistration of the Neapolitan provinces into the fol lowing four departments :-1. Interior and Police ; 2. Grace, Justice, and Worship ; 3. Public Instruc tion, Agriculture, and Commerce ; 4. Public Works and Finance. The bishops of the four provinces of Genoa, Milan, Turin, and Vercelli have sent an address to King Victor Emmanuel, protesting against the institution of civil marriage. The following are the most remarkable passages of this document : Marriage is an institution of directly divine origin ; God deigned himself to bind the first matrimonial knot. It is a dogma of our faith that the divine Redeemer has raised marriage to the dignity of a sacrament, and entrusted its administration, like the other sacraments, to the church, whence it follows that to her alone be. loop the right of prescribing the conditions required of those who wish to contract matrimony. . . These articles of the new code in contemplation, were they sanctioned and put bits practice, would not only offend Christian morality, give access to the most revolting disorder, and occasion great evils to families and to society, but also be in direct opposition to Article 1 of the constis tutioo, which procluimi the catholic, apostolic, and Roman faith the religion of the state And, while we have the honour of addressing your Majesty, let us be permitted also to protest against the hostile manna. in which the clergy are treated by those who should better appreciate its services, and not expose it to be the object of ailumnious suspicions. By a series of laws and decrees which were called for by no fact, reason, or Deoessity, the clergy have been made a painfully privileged class, for which vexatious proceedings and penal measures are re. served, tending to disturb it in the exercise of its sacred duties, thanks to expressions which easily admit odious in. terprctatiuns, and to the introduction of the pretended apptl (vaunt (tabus, a thing which formerly was unknown to Piedmont, absurd in itself, contrary to the constitution► and to the liberty of the church. (IZMIR'S ROME, MARce 30. Last night forty waggons of the Sardinian army were observed near Rome, coming from Gaeta. General Goyon ordered their immediate departure for Ferri, under an escort of gendarmes.

The Empanel, a moderado organ of Madnd, com plains with great bitterness that the " revolutionists .

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rnom oun OWN PARIS, MONDAY EVIDIDID. A very impudent manifesto of Prince Murat is published by the Pays and Patrie, which pretend to have found it in a foreign journal This pretender, often disavowed by the French government, has never before preferred his claims (!) to the throne of Naples with so little reserve and circumlocution as he now does. Accordingly, ho was never before in a position sufficiently prominent to be worth the trouble of extinguishing. His present attempt to do mischief in Italy takes the form of a letter to a supposed friend at Naples, the Duke of A petition to the Senate has been got up in Paris praying for the continuance of the French occupa tion of Syria, "so long as the lives of the Chris thins may be in danger." lam sorry to speak dis respectfully of this movement, because I observe that your correspondent at Beyrout is a warm advocate of French intervention. But I cannot help bearing witness that, quite independently of the perils of the Maronites, which be so elopently describes, there is or, at least, seas-* settled purpose here to maintain a permanent footing in the Turkish dominions. I warned you of this long before the Syrian mas sacres, and I remember the remarkable expression attributed to • French courtier, and which may be found in the files of the Dolly News, that it was intended to lordre le sou of England by means of the Eastern question. M. Mooquard's melodrama of the Massacres Kyrie at the Cirque was a poli tical man.euvre, the significance of which was re marked at the time of its production. Insurrec tions are sometimes fomented in the East by parties who have • purpose to serve in putting them down. It will be most unfortunate, politically speaking, if anything should occur to give the French a decent excuse for not clearing out of Syria by June 5, the date now fixed by treaty.

In 1858 it had been only 384,043, so that there was an increase of 155,992. On the lit January, 1860, the forte was 615,465, exclusive 'of 5,276 enfants de troupe. Of that number 396,559 were in France, 83,782 in Africa, 55,281 in Italy, 7,904 at Rome, 5,468 in the expedition of China, 7,716 on what are called renewable furloughs, and the rest on six months' furlough. The reserve at the same date amounted to 11,017 men, of whom only 71 had previously served. The general effective of the military fumes of France was then on the Ist Jan., 1860, 626,482 men. The total number of exemptions ac. corded to young men of the class of 1858 was 130,236 ; for the class of 1857 it was 110,313—the former was conse quently 19,923 more. This difference, however, is the natu ral consequence of the augmentation of the contingent of the class of 1858 from 100,000 men to 140,000. THE PENINSULAR MAIL 60uTHAmPT0N, Aran 1.

Mr. Roebuck, one of the representatives of this borough, met his constituents this afternoon in the Tcrper. ance-hall. The conduct of the hon. membea upon two occasions appears to have been strongly condemned by a section of his constituents--namely, when in 1459 ho supported the continuance in office of the administration of Lord Derby ; and again this session, when he addressor' the House of Commons in a speech favourable to Austria. A meeting was held in Sheffield about a fortnight ago, at which a resolution was phased calling upon the hon. mem. her to visit his constituents and explain his conduct, and on Tuesday last Mr. Roebuck wrote to the mayor, con vening a meeting for this day. Mr. Roebuck arrived in Sheffield on Saturday, and pro ceeded to the residence of the Mayor (Mr. H. Vickers), where a number of gentlemen met him at dinner by invi• tation of his worship. This afternoon, escorted by a large body of his supporters, he proceeded to the Tereperacce hall, for the purpose of delivering an address, but on reach. ing the building, the hall was found to be so closely be mined by thousands of persons, that the hon. member was compelled to remain in the rain for a considerable time. ex posed to the jeers of the mob, before an opening could be made for him. On entering the hall it was discovered to be densely crammed in every part, between 3,oooand 4,000 persons having contrived to squeeze themselves into a building calculated • to hold about one-third of the number. Mr. Roebuck was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and the Mayor at temptedat once to open the proceedings. The uproar and confusion were, however, so great, and the demand for an immediate adjournment into the open air so incessant, that his worship essayed in vain to obtain •hearing. At length, Mr. Reeerck, addressing a noisy crowd immediately beneath hint, said—Gentlemen, if you will be quiet I will endeavour to speak ; but if you persist in making a noise, I can't speak. (Cries of " Order," " Put : na so en tit o t r u h t fig n aaj li ti k n o u g ll t e — r u 7 r w o r; ) s rea ire toM l red, :au ß t 2ea to db :o kt w u , rDw i ali n ngte t i b to e u fir ntthi s ie t place, why lam down hero' ((hies of " hear, hear.") I accept that cheer, and I ask again, " Why am I down here !" (Loud cries of "hear, bear.) Allow me to answer that question myself. lam down here because base insi nuations have been made against my character. (Chee rs , hisses, and geneml uproar.) Now, if every one will only take care to keep himself quiet, you have no idea how quiet the meeting will be. I say that base insinuations have been made against my character. Now I have done certain things as a member of parliament, sad after thirty years of service, beginning a poor man, remaining so—fighting your battles against every tempts. time they could not tree a better thing to say of me than that for sordid purposes I have gone against my own opinion. (" Hear, hear, cheers, and a few hisses.) Now lam hereto vindicate my opinion. (A voice, " More power to you," and cheers.) Wait and hear me. (C onfusion and uproar.) Don't by your yelling and by your clamour try to put me down. Listen to reason, though it speaks by my voice, and I believe that if you will listen to reason, you will say that I have done nothing that ought to giveyou offence. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Now, sir, a great nun, one of the great lights of English philosophy, has said that evidence was like the long bow, but that argument was like the cross bow. The first depended upon the strength and capacity of the man who shot the arrow—the second had the same force, whether let loose by an infant or by a giant. Now I am here I hope to speak the voice of reason. I doe't wish you to put faith in my character. But that chancier is not one made yesterday. It is one that has been built up by a long life of labour. lam of you. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.) I belong to the people. I have fought the people's battle, and I have got nothing by it. (Loud cheers.) But, sir, I know my own countremen so well, that if an angel of light were to come down with simple meson, and somebody were to stand by and say, " That angel is sold, body and soul, don't trust him"—if he were to speak the very words of wisdom, I know my country men well enough to know they wouldn't listen to reason. (Laughter and uproar.) Well, then, lam going first to deal with the imputations against my character, and next I intend to deal with the question respecting which you have called me down here. Now, the imputations against my character are that I have sold you twice. (Cries of "Hear, hear.") " Hear, hear," you say. Well, I will take it that lam aocused of having sold you twice. That is the impute tion. On the first occasion it was when I voted to keep in Lord Derby's administration. The second occasion was when I made a speech the other day in which I recom mended Lard Palmerston to be thoroughly a friend of non intervention, but at the same time to give the moral in fluence of England to thirty millions of people who are now striving for political power—namely, the Austrian nation. (Cheers and hisser.) Upon the find occasion, when I voted for Lord Derby's administration, what was the imputation' Why, that by metes of a subsidy given by the government to the Galway Company, I was bought. That was the imputation. (Hear, hear.) Now, first and foremost, 1 never received a farthieg. (A Voice—" We don't believe you did," end cheers.) I thought, when I was called upon by certain persons, that it would be a very good thing to have a steam communication between the west of Ireland and the east of America. They said that at that time the English govern ment were paying 240,000 L a year to the Cunard Company in Liverpool, and it was added that if we could get a subsidy from the government for carrying the mails from Galway to New York it would be a great thing for the trade between the two countries. I applied, among others—for there were several other members of parliament concerned, though you have only picked out Mr. Roebuck—l applied, among others, to the government, in order to obtain a subsidy for the Galway Company. After negotiation with the government they at lad consented to make a contract with the company to carry the mails from Galway to New York, for, 1 think, 76,000 f. a year. (" Oh," "Hear, hear," cheers, and uproar.) Now nothing was to be paid before service was rendered. lid before any service was rendered—before any moiety was paid, I had left the Grainy Company. But there was some 10,000/. —(Great confusion, which prevented the con clusion of the sentence being heard.) Now I don't intend to talk to you in such a noise. (A Voice " Wean outside.") No doubt there is noise outside, but there is also • eel deal of yelling here. (Cries of "Go into the open sir.") I will go away, if you like, but I will not go into the open air to address you. My notion is that there are certain persons here whedon't want to hear me, and who have come on purpose to . put, a stop to the meeting. (A Voice : "You're quite right. They come from Bond-lane.") I believe they do. and I than therefore decline to proceed say fur ther. I have not a steam engine at work in me, and I must at once give way. Mr. Roebuck here resumed his seat and remained a passive looker on. In the meantime the cheers, whistling. hisses, booting, and yells were perfectly deafening, while the heavy "thuds" against the doors announced the impatience of the mob outside. The densely packed multitude swayed to and fro with excitement, and in the most upmarket' man ner demanded immediate silence and order. Mr. Roebuck again rose, but finding it impossible even to heir his own voice, immediately resumed his seat. A short coma• teflon took place among his supporter*. and at their ite stance, finding a hearing out of the question, he courteously bowed to the meeting and retired into the ante-room. The Rev. P. Homo came forward upon the platform, and stated that the persons who most thoroughly dime. proved of Mr. Roebuck's conduct were those who were the most silent. The real fact of the matter was, that the lel/ was so crowded that everybody was uncomfortuble. people outside were making a most awful row, and he . peehended that that was the real reason the meeting wall be broken up. Mr. HADIIELD—I really cannot allow the remelt:s of fee rev. friend to pass without notice. He uys that my Lee colleague has occasioned certain opinions being formed of hu coodud, and that those who have formed them still eaten tare them. The rev. gentleman mud excuse me if L say that his remark is ungenerous. Ido not deny that niv bee. colleague and myself have frequeutly been found iu differed lobbies, but he is a man who cm defend himself if you ell give him an opportunity. Wh a t h as b e come here fart Simply for the purpose of defending himself, and I think. if he had an opportunity afforded him of doing se, my rev. friend would entertain a very different opinion to that which he appears to entertain. Mr. Roebuck has appeared here in his place before his constituents, and it 14 femme he has laboured to procure a hearing, and has been urahlo to obtain one, that I would ask all here to sitepted ad judgment they may have formed until ho has an opportnnit7 of being fairly heard. (Cheers, and uproar.) The Rev. P. HOPPS said Mr. Hadfield bad entirely me' understood bins. lie had not said that he was en op anent of Mr. Roebuck, but what he did nay was, the noise was oe casioned by discomfort, and not by antagonism. Mr. W. SHARMAN, secretary of the Sheffield eleritaln Fund, here attempted to address the meeting, het was v<' ceived with such a perfect storm of groans and yells that he made a very precipitate retreat. Mr. HOOLe celled for rt show of hands as to whether the meeting would adjourn or consent to hear Mr. Roebuck. A large majority were in favour of contionine the Ise' ceedings, very few hands being held up for an ie ljournmeet.
