POOL& The annual dinner given by the commanding officer of the Stroud Volunteer Corps took place on Thera day night, when there was • large gathering, who were attracted principally to hear the Right Hon. E. HOMMIIII. M.P. for the borough, who attended to distribute some prizes which be had offered. Mr. BOWMAN, in responding for the toast of the donors of prizes, said, after some teed allasioes— I always tate pride to myself that I was one of the first to orientate and promote and encourage in every way the volunteer system. (amen.) We all remember the public feeling by which the volunteer movement was celled forth. We remember the appreben- Dieel which existed in many mea's minds. and we remember that in many others who felt no a pprehension still there the was a feeling of regret tha t the voice of England in councils of Europe, upon which the tranquillity of the world &weeded, was insigoificent sod uniodneatiel abroad, because we were known to be weak and vulnerable at home. Now we must remember that the red batiks of Europe are fought not by armrest on the battle-field, bet in the cabinets of ministers. It is the diplomatist that is the advanced guard of armies. It is only wheel the diplo matist retiree from the field, foiled and vanquished, that the military are called in to the briquet of death, to accomplish by brute fora, by bloodshed, by cersette that which in as eslighteud ago, in an age of Chridiasity, ought to be accomplished in a purer and more p eaceful spirit. (Cheer'.) You all remember that memorable day when the Queen reviewed her volunteer army in Hyde-park that day ea which she was gobbled to tell the nation that a quarter of a million of the stoutest of her subjects bad enrolled themselves for the defence of their satire mil ; frees that day Elrod bad reeneeedwu esme etrithffet in she ("mega (Heat, hear.)

We donors sow rash into war to redrew grieraisces which are generally only aggravated by war ; but we have muted. walrus fostered, we bale upheld , a Odin opinion Is Europe which makes wars more difficult, which makes tyranny and, injustice leas profitable: and it in the strength and position width we have exhibited to garage which has made that change, and secured that England should still be the refuge of the unforteast la tle i s a asylum of every political exile—that she be at home th e refuge of all who me fiseing from tyranny sad injustice, while abroad she is the bold assertor of the principles of truth and freedom —the bell „iesenesiator of that injustice end that which was rampant in Europe many ye' ago, bit which the moral iefluesee of Englead, backed ar by her maimed strength, has made now as d eng erous for despots oath (Cheers.) Well, gee - used to be unfortunate far Engird. Boman, that has bees the result of the volunteer move bid ment, of which the people are ver y a p t to lose sight, ' which we should, all bear is mind ; because I bold that*, volunteer movement has been the greatest instrument f or or the preservation of the puce of Europe. (Hear, hear.) far from beteg a warlike movement, I hold it to have beet a peaceful add i Christian movement ; aod so far from tbe ministers of peace steadies aloof from that movement, I humor them when I us them eranieg forward co these occasions. (Cheers.) And, geetlemen, well may we congratulate ourselves now that a new era has arises. The old era has gee*, but a new era bas come in. We are standing to-night in a position of petal and prom perity, which, I think, we all of in felt to be perfectly inexampled. I remember no time, throned a long pebb• life. in which the commercial classes in Eoglaad were so prosperous as now. I remember no time when our legisla tion was so sound, whet oar laws were better admisistered, whee our people were more loyal, when our inetirartions were more popular, and when all elutes in England, from the highlest to the lowest, were more linked together is ODD g reat hoed of brotherhood. (Cheers.) And. gthiltheelle I. ambappy to my that as far ea human foresight can tall 1 sae no reason taloa: that these blessings may not be cantistied to • we in the year to come. Oesdoenestioevent has takes place oa which much commut bas hese made. I here spokes just now of • domeetic and private lois, but there bee de- , parted from mooed ua an English minister *boothelted be u , es minister of England for • longer period WILD any r m —who for more thaq half aceutury had been mixed ii=tt all the important changes that have taken place In drain that period. sod who is sae farm or another bed a 1.7.0 e re. erraticr there, in Essopean treossetions for fdty-five years .. tbau ever before fell to the lot of ao Eoglislistateemso • has Vequettbed to de, after five years di obeli pantie:al . and ouch national prosperity as was hardly in tby • single cloud—be has bequeathed to us that pesos come and primp/rat), which we now *okra. There have been people foolish enough to say, and others weak enough to be lieve, that with the departure of that minister there might be a departure from that condition of peace and tran quillity and undietarbuce which we have latterly enjoyed ; acid there ere some who bays thought, and some who have believed, that in plac e of a policy of tranquillity we might now be suddenly embarked into en age of strife and agitation. Well, now. I do sot believe anything pi the kind is likely, sod I will tell you the reason— because they who predicate such a change show that they hive little s t u died either the happy or the character of ngland. Lord Palinerstoo has bequeathed to tut the condition in which we now stand, but he has also bequeathed to us the secret of that conditirn. What wee the secret of Lord Palmerston's joulerity and power I It was that be studied the English character — ( hear, hear) - that he saw, that he understood, aod that he tightly read English opinions and English desires —(hear, bearl—and reading and noderstaediug them he made a his first duty to give effect to them, and that, rely upon it, is the sale condition upon which any minister in this country can ever bold power. The days are gone by when the death of one King and the succession of another could chae the laws of the land. The days are gone by when th e fall of one minister and the elevation of another could change the policy of a nation.

With • view to elder up this mystery, Rear-Admiral Conjuror', C. 8., sad °octant Lambert, elder brethren of Use Trinitydsouse, visited the neighbourhood on Wednesday, aod made every possible iuquiry onucernieg the matter; but at no definite conclusion could they mire. They also visited Sunderland North Pier in the everting, accompanied by Capt. Kirby, R. N., seer master M the cosaegnard, in *Wee tats. thOgellOOfk% Whither° ; , which some one had aeged to be the cause of the lights but their glare ted ll ium to be distinguished, the idea was somewhat reluctantly abandoned. An official inquiry, cooducted by Mr. W. Wilcox, collector of customs and receiver of wrecks, was held before Admiral CoUinsoo, on Thursday. in the Sunderland Custom-house. There were also present Captain Lambert ; Captain Kirby, R.N. ; Mr. Joseph Jerome, chief officer of tbe coastguard ; Mr. Robert Blair, Tyne Pilotage Board ; Mr. J. R. Hodge. Suocnk-lderland pilot master ; Ald. Givens ; Mr. Cooper Abbe, Rodge Rev. G. C. Abbe, elude° • and Rev. C. Brachium, of Whitburo ; the four last named gentlemen having attended in compliance with • request made by Sir Hedworth William son, M.P., in order to watch the interests of the tishermee. Mr. Frank Mills, a coastguardsman, was the first witness called, and he stard that one ight about three weeks ego he obeerved is a field south n e ast of Whitburo what op preterit° be two lights fleshing upon the banks. lie was preparing to follow when they suddenly disappeared. Mr. Robert Morrison, master of the Monkwearmouth Dock, said be was in the habit of going along the North Pier at all hours of the night when any rough weather wee appre headed, and at such timer, in looking towards Whitbarn, bad frequently seen a revolving light, which, but for the distance, might easily have been mistaken for that of Ty oemonth. 'sir. Cooper Abbe was the ne wt witness, two.and remarked that hie residence, Rock-lodge, about thirds of • mile above toe North Pier, and window, in close proximity _to W hi t h er° , consequently Ids commanded • full view of the eutire bay from Soutar Point.

He had, however, frequently seen a light shining from a window of Mr. Wilcox's house ' a t Whither°, which looked directly south, lied could not be seen any distance out to eel. When vessels were rounding Soutar Poin ull , t from and the north their masts wa re visible long before the b comequently when they carried a white light at the mast. head, It might easily be mistaken for • flashing light, particularly when passing the irregularities oo the shore about that spot ; therefore, it is probable that that might saranot for the flashes alleged to have been seen at Soutar by parties on Sunderland North Pier. He did Dot think any one could go to the beach with • lantern without being overhauled by the coastguardsmeo, who kept • very sharp look out at that spot. Mr. Nicholas Cooke, master of the steam tug Vigi. hurt p , and Mr. PO/ASSOD &traders, master of the Tom Bowline, deposed to baring seen lights exhibited on Whither° Steel, which they believed were intended to decoy vessels. Captain Jerome Major, of the schooner Test, of Southampton, which went ashore on the 24th Nov. last, said he observed two lights, which be first thought resembled those from tat Tyne wo mouth, but afterwards imagined them to proceed vessels at sachor. On approachiog them, however, he discovered that be had allowed hie vessel to run close in shore, and she struck before he could bring her round. Captain Charles Adams, of the brig Token, which went ashore on 13th October, while running from Amsterdam to Shields, said be first made the land about six in the morning, when a little off Whitby, and a ll wont well light until be made for what he supposed to Tyneruouth , when be unfortuutely rap his vessel ashore at Whitburu. When the vessel struck he saw a light brought along the coast in that direction, and after being over his decks, was taken away towards the village. Two cables attempted to put off to his assistance, but were unable to dolifeboat no in con- had sequence of the force of the waves, and the ultimately to be manned. About three-quarters of an hour after has own vessel struck, he observed another one drawing rapidly in the same dir ec tion,ec- but he fortneatelr apprised tbe captain of dener, through • fog trumpet, and she stood out to sea. Mr. Cuthbert Hutchinson, who resided to the essieremest house in Whither'', was in the habit of being on the shore and on the sea all bones of the night, but bad never seen any light likely to mislead homeward hound veseels. Mr. J. lowland Hodge. pilot muter, said the Sanderlsod pilots wished to make no further statements to what they had already made, and declined to be examioed. They had frequently stated, however, that they had seen a strange lights at Whitburn for thirty years, but never so frequently as durieg Unspent few menthe. They had been misled!), it on many occasions, bat os oesrieg the coast to discern whence it proceeded, had lost sight of it entirely. in consequence of their repreeentatious, he had riddeu over to Whitburn to try and unravel the mystery, but had failed to discover any light likely to mislead • vessel. Mr. Jerome, chief officer of the eoestgrutrds, observed bright light in the direction of Whitburn or Tusedsy night while walking Dear Roker battery, but on walking in that direction it disappeared altogether. He had been beepers is the neighbourhood, sod his duties took him out st all howl, bat, with this exceptios, he never maw any revolving or fleshing lights before.

MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY, The Nazione of the 27th announces that the crisis still continues, and says it can only refer its readers i to the rumours in circulation. It was reported that all difficulties had been overcome by the acceptance on the part of Signor Laura of the portfolio of finance. This, however, is a mere rumour, says the Nazione, and nothing more. As might be expected, complete silence is maintained in official regions. The Diritto, the organ of the Left, says : "We (lid not hesitate a moment to say that General La Mar mora was the last person likely to succeed iu forming an administration. Facts only too plainly show we were right. The crisis is being protracted be yond all just limits, and the country is grievously agitated by the sad spectacle of a blind obstinacy that appears to be irritated by its own impotency." According to the Diritto, Italy is tired of the ministers who have by turns been iu power during the last five years, and wants new men and a new system. -------= THE FENIAN TRIALS AT CORK.
