Jere Hsaonoys Hoax, Neg., the taelnalin of , the oonuaiedimere of the Holborn division, was voted to the chair. — Tro CHAIRMAN said It word he in; the resells.. lion of the great body of essnroberson t that immediately baler the esedersa ad the PaeaaarLap at their meetleg last week a rear whirr Meerowilliomd was made. The mutt n o es entered upon Mae miewesa.west, "That to raise the era payable for the year 1806 =at I' tie sets of perlia art relating to the land tar, for girl part of the county of Moldier: described in the said ore of parliament as the rest of the county of Middlelez. the our sums be erred upon each bur.dred, division, or liberty, r have been retpee• tieely ebarged thereon is p revious jean, ear sums berg in proportion to the sums which were amassed on the same hundreds, dieisiose, or liberties respectively, 'by en set posed in the fourth year of the reign of William and Mary." TIM motion was met by an amendment for an adjournment of the meeting, which amendment, was unit d the result being their being that assembled together. The (Nutt°, before' the meet ing, therefore, would be that unbolted in the motion be bad read. Mr. SIMPKIN meld he rose for the purpose of making a few very brief observations in support of the motto' that had been read, "oestanse, warding to the view he took of the law, though be was no lawyer, such was the only legal mode in which the land tax assesamexts could at present be made. Tae coe-tion of equality or inequality must b• lo at in mnre ways than one, and by no means the least important consideration was, how did the present payers of the tax come into poieession of the property from which the tax was derived. Terre were four ways of coming into passeisim—by purchaser, inheritance, gilt. and by a goes% ; sad he' would ask who of the parties who had BO acquired their property ought to complain ? If a taxpayer got kis property by purchase he obtained it for • much lose I: land tax were charged upon it, than he would were there no land tax; a d what right hag be to eomer.io 1 II by inheriesace, those who had just came of complaint had long ARce departed, and the present possessor ought not to raise an *stn. And the BOAR argument he should apply in lbws gun where pro part)iwars acquired by gift and oequeet. The parties who had, according to his vi:w, the most right to complain, wore Ham who had bought their property at S 6 yams' purchase, secordieg to the act ot parliament; to obtain redemption from the tie with thou his sympathy rested, and he should appose any alteratton in the assuement until there was en auntie' in the law. The conteque-ces of as equalissoon would be to *sham the property of some landowsers, such as the Duke of Redford the D.aks of Portland, Lord Portman, and ethers, whilst it depreciated the property of others; gad whilst rents were raised in one case, metered of being dimi eddied in the other, the landowner would attire the bene fit. His objections to sny alteration in the assessment did not rest here, for be considered thtt by an equalisation the county would be thrown into an immensity of con'tesien, litiga tion. expense, mil difSculty. Mr. WHITE seconded the motion. Me. PAYNE, the coroner, said the commissioners were a public Jody, and, there fore, they must have some regard to coneistency. At the last meeting a motion for an equalise. tiro was negatived, and, thtnfore, they stood commuted to the principle of the present mode of asselement. Mr. WHITE begged, as the sunder of the motion, to my • few words in its support. He had, as he had before stated, been a commletaner more than fitry years, and he was satiefi-d, from the results of his experienre iu that ra pacity, that the_present asseventents could nut and ought not ts be altered. Ia allusion to the •• Redemption Act" the speaker said he had all along considered it one of the great. eat blot. upoe the legislatorial history of the country. A COMMISSIONER sail he opposed any change for two reasons—fret, because they had lot the power to nuke • gamic • and seem Ily,becaute a change, if made, w o uld be imp litie in the extreme. Mr. OFFER said it had more than once been hie fortune to be amused by the arguments used a-,d the reasons ex plained la public meetings, bat he had is his life been more unused than by the arguments he had heard that morning emanate from the supporters of the present sj stem el aseessiag the land tax. (Hear, hear.) He was • Tower Hamlets boy (much laughter) and he would ask the parish of Marylebone. "Do rue my anything like • just or fair portion of this tax ?" That was the Ties. lion—there was the issue—was the tax now fairly eat in ditlerently raised 1 (Hear, he-r.) He thought tar commis sioners were all agreed that an equalisation oueht to be made, that the present sods was steak and unjust, and they would, therefore, stultify themselves by carrying this motion. The principle of, qealisstiou was acknowledged at the last meeting, by the appointment of a committee to go to the government upon the subject, and he thought the baiter course would be to adjourn the present meeting until that committee made their report. Mr. METCALFE raid there could not, be thought, be any doubt but that when the nutmeats were first made, they were made fairly and indifferently, that was, accord. Mg to the value of the pro e arty in the divisions. A large assessment was made upon the Tower Hamlet., because it was then a very opulent district, and • smeller one upon Marelebone, because at that time it was an unimporttat suburban parish, and the assessment of 6001. was nu doubt spas the full value of its property. Marylebone had been described as the great aristocratic peril ; why, it was radical all over from beginaing to end. (Loud laughter.) The CHAIRMAN begged commissioners oho might speak would &beans from making any observations of • political nature. (Hear, hear.) Mr. METCALFE said he had only further to say, that be entirely coneumd with, and should support, the motion. • COMMISSIONER thought an equalaatien vet y desire hie, bat said that it should be by an act of parliament, penchant ottainieg • clause giving redemption at twenty.five years' Mr. COPPOCK said that at the last meeting he had argued that it was the duty, sad in the power of the ens ristssimen, to equalise the tax throughout the county of Middlesex, and he proposed • resolution for the levying of an equal pound rate spun thecounty is accordance with what ha cuwended mu the clear, common sense meaning of awe of parliament which he quoted ; but though teat resolution, proposed as an amendment, was not carried, not one commissioner raised his voice against the principle of as equalisation and he was surprised that any c.mmiisiouer should now, with inch a word as robbery in his mouth, stand up in defence of the system at present observed. Mr. TYNDAL seconded the amendment, which, after some discussion, in which Dlr. Neater, Mr. Payne, Mr. Elliott, and other commitsioners took part, was put from the dear and negatived. The original motion was carried by 31 votes to 7. . . _ A vote el thanks to the Clueinwsu for the courtesy and ahiiity with woick he had p►esided over the meeting was then carried. and atkaowledged by Mr. Mean. The meeting then broke up. ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND THE ADMIRALTY. Admiral Sir Charles Napier has published a volu minous arrespondenn between himself, Sir Francis Baring, end Lord John Russell, in reference to that gallant admiral's Inquest newspaper achiseements. Sir Francis, in No 1, intimates that he offl Silly disapproves of such willies, and says that he has set a most unf ileum/ example to the naval service, In writing to newspapers much attacks on those to whom hi r Mikity has entrusted the adminirratien of the navy, and windieg up by the words, that he doubted the gallant oMeer's discretion. No. 2 is Admiral Napier's rejoinder, in which he says that it is no: bad men, but • measures (costing the country enormous sumo) that ha attAked ; that Sir Jobs Barrow, when Secretary of the Adn.iralty, wrote a severe letter, abvieg C Crawford for a true description given by him of the Rue aims navy.

Sir Edward Codrington published a pamphlet on his return from the Mediterranean. Tee Marquis of Aeglerea published a lertor, when Lord Vow Minot of Ireland, and was removed. The Duke of Willing- Nn wrote one about the defenceless state of Beaked. No. 3 is from Sir Charles to the Secretary of the Admiralty, coin planing that Wiseman in command of the Channel squadron had been placed over his head in the reetganhation of the Suet, and that the board seemed to be under the guidance of a scurrilous fuming paper (the Herald). To this the Ad miralty replies by staling their doubts of his discretion in trepubliog theta at all on the subject. No. 4 is another broadside from Sir Charles, addressed to Mr. John Parker, Ada itchy, of which Mr. J. Parker seknowledges receipt. No. 6 is from Sir Ch-rles to the Prime Minister, com plaining of all the preceding parties and summing up his grievant's. No. 6 is the reply which we give OMITS: " 8, Downing street, Jan. 25, 18.50.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1850. HARE ON THE GORHAM Lit not yam hearts be distracted by this twofold moss of ea ambiguous weed, Yoe believe it to be a work of divas gram, by which the child I. grafted into the Char= of Christ, into the Kingdoms of God, that through the spirit it is brought under the teaching of the spirit. This is all that the church requires oat to believe as • condi tion of imarcisiwg her ministry. The fartker definition of the. gram eke Mum open to then whom the spirit abaft Masai= millearatt it. Will you, then, leave her should not 'peek of such en sot, but that many have spoken ol it as semoding they were euntemplating u possible, as, at arab temilossaeles, probable sad almost auxin ;—will yes lbsesits her, born= wederetaade the word regene- In rate la mom dillemat from pours needi you desert her ads hoer of her argent need, a which none feel more deeply than you—in this day of her peril, a peril which your abandonment of her would grievously, formidably, sig gismo ? Ton have long been making with dread on the growth of what you deem punk:doss errors within her. By tour presence within her you counterbalance thou errors ; ft you quit her, they will become fatally predome neat. Therefore in the name of our beloved mother, as well es of the Hula whom ChrXt has plead under your cars, I would conjure you to pause, and poniltr carefully, with =rout prayer for the guidance of the spirit, before you take any decisive step, and depart trees the post when God has placed you. Oa the opposite aids again ha large body, containing some whom I love, many whom I highly respect, very many who have laboured zealously and devotedly is the cause of our Lord and of his church. With these, I must tionfeee I cannot feel Messina sort of sympathy, sithoegh on the immediate qaestion in dispute say opinion coincides with theirs. For I cannot relax the oorsclusive =idease that our church preanteues ever 7 baptized child to be regenerate; and as this is the doetnue of the whole church from the beginning, so die it seem to me of great importance that, under a attain sense of the word r o te to, this ' truth should be reataisect as the ground of all chart= teaching and Crigg. Bull, though the former party appear to me to all h er an error, they have beta expecting that they shoWd have to suffer fur conscience sake. and have been gird =heir hears to do so ; and to such persons, however a they may be, no good man will refuse his loving reverent syntrohy. They have not—these at least whom I have had in salad, have not been trying to impose their =miens epee their brethren. They are merely pleading for freedom of coescerna, for what they believe to be the truth, and almost that corrupt, pernicious conception of baptism, which ascribes a tunnel effelicy to it, without the slightest wettest in the words, and in d, hence of the spirit of Saijeure, as well as of all Mots. Au excess of seal against such an error nay well lay claim to bone indulgence. Oa the other hand, their opponent. have nothing pessenally to dread. Whatever the decision may be, it cannot =leach Weir opinion. Should it be determined that Mr. 03rneliell view or hip:instil reg e !ion does not incapacitate him for holding preferment in our church, the utue at that would follow would be, that on this, u on so many other points, our church admits of a considerable latitude of opinion, and has sot laid down her dogut-e so definitely that they can be enforced by civil posture . But even in this Cale there is no thing in such a decision to impugn any other view—Arch deacon Willerforces, for instance, or Dr. Pose'''. These remain jil.t where they Were; aid the advocate: of them re tain their full liberty to hold and to inculcate them. Surely, each being the case, they who have always sachem with re probation of the sin of echem, and who can hardly bring themselves to acquit the reformers of th.t sin—although their case was totally different, in that they were not showed to hold and teach what they believed to be truths of essential moment—cannot think it justifiable to quit the ministry of our church, Weems the church is belt by her supreme judicial tribunal to open her arms somewhat wider than thee would wish her to do. Sorely they, above all men, are bound to declare that such an Let would be a meet presuniptu.as sod reprehensible exercise of pr.vate judg ment, not in upholdine ties sitered rights of individual 0041- scions., but in condemning one brethren and the whole body of our eturch. Sorely, too, it is a ;remain genet Christisa ' meekness end Lye, to desire that a large cumber of our brethren, many of them exemplary kr their weeks of (shit sad labours of love, should be driven out of the church, or ea lest out of her ministry, not ler any sin of omission sr eing mission, but bee sue they cleave coneceentieuely to as opinion, of the erroneouiness of which they cannot be con 'ince& Rather would a rod man with that they should remain where they are, trusting that, if they continue le serve God with the same fidelity ace rding to their knows ledge, their eyes will in time he opened to p rceive as muck mare dila* truth as may be needful for t4rs. Can it indeed be that then ere persons, who, for the sake of eatablishing the truth, as they would soy,—that is, of rotting up some determinate dogmatical proposi.ion COS °treeing the efficacy of baptism,—and s ill more with the view of cenfotiog and einemg their opponents, would wish to obtain a peremptory sentence, whereby those opposing., comprising, hundreds of the best, godliest, most faithful, most devoted ministers of our church, would be driven into as agonizing str b , out of which they +Gill hardly perceive an outlet except in retigning their cures of souls ? Would it not be most painful to see rumbas of good men competed for cons:ience sake to fall into schism ? Would it not be a terrible calamity to our church to be de prived of seamy of her beet ministers, in these days of hard, perilous strive again -t the powers cf evil ; Ought we not to di precate,aud to dealt we can to avert such a catas•roph. ? To this sod we—those especially who attach such a paramount impotence to a sight notion on the matter in dispute—should not merely try to establish our own opinion dogmatically and historically, and content ourselves with exposing and refuting the miss atenkente and misarguments of oar erring brethren ; we should also acknowledge the trutes, by a too ex: soave attention to which they were lcd into their error, sad are upheld in it; and we should endeavour, patiently and rently, , to disentsegle thews truths from the moues which adhere to them ' and to clear up the ambi gu iti es and perplexities by which the controversy has so long been pre uacted. Above all, we should set to work honestly end vigi lantly to purge our own view from the exaggerations and erroun whereby it has perettually been corrupted and per verted, and whereby it has repelled those who cannot rcri fiee their reason and conscience to the dictates of an imperious authority. For instance, they wt o rightly maintain that our church, in accordance wi.h the whole church from the tint ages, asserts the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, are apt to en• cumber tt.is truth with proposition, convening the nature and effects of baptismal regeneration, which find no sanction in the teaching of our church, and which turn that truth Leto a mischievous and repulsive falsehood. Thus in a mo dern work of great merit I find at stated, as the opinion of our church, ' that in baptism the nature of the o'er Adam Is exchanged for that which was refashioaed in Christ." Mow can it be otherwise than that such a statement, which has not the slighted support in our symbolical books, should re volt those who have any regard for the testimony of their sewes, or of their understanding, or of their reason, or of their moral sense? This presses shows how gamily person., when they let their words ten away with their thoughts, may fall into baptismal trea substantia• ion. Our church asserts the change oh state in baptism, that we are brought out of • rate of nix titre into a state of grace, into the kingdom of God, that we are brought into that church, which is the body of Christ ; it also believes in the imperil-1 of spirituel grace at baptism ; but it does not say a word about a change of nature; nor is it very easy to understand what they who use this expressers mean by it. One might fancy, they had weer asked themselves this question. In the present case, the only evidence alleged to show that our church holds this extraordinary doctrine, is " her declaratl in that the aal- Vallee of haptised infanta, dying before they commit actual sin, is affirmed in Baipture." Yet what does this declara tion show consenting a chimp. of nwure ? What does it imply beyond a change of state, that the infant has been brought into a state of salvation? To this, I believe— though it seems to me very unwise to exact an a-sent to such a proposition concerning the state of baptised infanta after death, as a condition of exercising the ministry of the Gospel —most persons would cot unwillingly subscribe. I hive heard it said indeed that, if the deci-ien pronouneed favourable to Mr. Gorham, our church would thereby eat herself off front the church catholic; inasmuch as aka would repudiate 'hat article of the Nicene Creed, whereto we confess our belief in one bark= for the remission of sins. What will uot people assert in the feverish excite ment of controversy? A more brittle logical chain wee devised to justify the excesses of passion. Our church would still retain that creed ; nor have I heard that any body has ever iron/tied a wish that she should expunge this article from it. All her ministers, all her meniben, would go on avowing their belief in it every Sunday, in all her churches and chapels, in the most solemn part of her service. Mr. Gorham himself would do so. Mr. Gorham himself would doubtless declare that he believes in it fully—that he has never dreamed of disputing it. I em not aware that way of the advocates employed on this occalion—emineat as were their ability and ingenuity, and the research they had bestowed on their cause—ventured to use this argument, which, if valid, would have decided the victory in their favour. At all events, if they di.:, an adverse Judgment would only prove the more manifestly that it bad been weighed in the ?alum by peewee of consummate legal perspicacity, and had been found wanting. Yet private judgment, er rather private caprice, is to bike au:h a momentous, perilous plunge, as Is Implied in quitting the ministry of the church, or perhaps the church the if, after pleating its foot on such a logical qalcksand. Whereas, at the utmost, even supposing there were any validity in the inference, the judgment would merely prove that our present highest court of legal appeal— a court acting entirely upon legal grounds, without pretend ing to pronounce upon doctrine, except legally with refer ent* to civil penelue. to ensue from it—does not hold that the law of the church is sufficiently determinate to warrant them in enforcing those civil penalties. lies it not beta seen continually how dill .ult it is, through the imperfections of thoaght and language, to frame a law which cannot be evaded, even when the legislators have a distinct purpose in view? A remarkable instance of this has been afforded by the recent judgment which nullifies the Factory Act. Yet one hears rational men declaring that such a jactietal sen tence would destroy the catholic character of oar church, would cut her off from the church of Christ, would un church her. as the phrase is. What! are we to hold that our Lord, who has hitherto been present with his church in Ragland fur so many centuries, through so many trials— who has borne so patiently with so much lukewarmness, with so much coldness, with so much earelmeness and worldly.siindedness, and has vouchsafed again and again to struts and renew sod ',viva her by the outpouring of his sphrit, and who has messed of late years to be preparing her end gtrdirg her for the battle with the legions of Antichrist, smiling her from every quarter—will now depart from her and sbaedort her, because the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council does nut think that Mr. Wuhan's opinions diequedify hint from holding preferment ?

No portion of the iron fittings for the tubular Irides across the Menai Straights was remaining on the promisee, but his lordship took mach interest in the drawings soaneeupd with the bridge, and especially in the mode: of a common railway girder bridge, erected on the same principle far rivers of smaller span, the parapets of these bridges being two parallel tubes, supporting a bed for the railway to pass over between them. The next plies visited was the manufactory of Maus. Parr, Cattle, and achinists, who maks the machinery shied, use d Co., ' In cotton mills, and are noted especially for their patent card making mesehines a eel by weavers. The distinguished visitoes next _peoceeded to the We bested Mayfield Print Works, Namibian, the esta blishment of Messrs. Hoyle and Sons. They arrived hue about half-pest four o'clock in the evening, and were received at the Lodge gates by Mr. Alderman Neild sad some other putout, of the firm. Those were the lest works which the ,party had visited In connection with the cotton maaufastures, and they appeared to take a deep fateful in the various proem-Noes exhib teed to them. Lady Fanny Russell, especially, seemed to interest herself In the young females employed In the first room of the premises which they visited. This was the 'agreeing room, where the long cylindrical copper rollers us.d for printing the calico, mousszlineede-laine, and other fabrics receive those striking and beautiful patterns which at this delightful spring-tide season of the year are beginning to fascinate the eye in every direction where they are exhibited in the shop windows throughout the kingdom. The employ ment of females in this branch of industry is at present an experinernt only, though I think it is one likely to answer. Of course they are not put 141,311 the kind of work requiring the skill and science of an expe rienced hand cog . The mode adopted is to place them under the euperiuteadence of an able workman as overlooker, and this man prepares the patterns for them on paper, which is pasted on to the copper rollers with great care and nicety, a' d they have wily to follow with the g the outline thus delineated, nit were, on the metal iteeli. The cylinder machine printing room, into which the party was nest in %reduced, is one of the finest wo r k s h o p s o f the kind in the world. It is spacious, lofty, well ventilated, and in every way rendered as comfortable and hellthy for the workpeople em ployed in it as circumstances will permit. There are 20 ma• eh i tie s in it, each mu bine tended by two men end two boys, and each capable of prieting from one to aix colours upon the cloth at once. Each of these cylinders, when at its greatest speed, will turn off about • piece of cloth, or 30 yards, per minute ; so that it might be said that the whole 20 machines in the room are capable of printing about 20 miles length of ladies' dress pieces per hour! Be the old system of block printing the utmost that could be dons was about four pieces per day by one person, or 120 yards. The system of block printing has not yet bean wholly superseded, but it is now un• doubtedly lest disappearing before the progress toewaide perfection which machine printing is making. The great difficulties indeed to be surmounted have not been in toe printing, but in the engraving department ; and these have to a great extent been conquered by the ingenuity and per.everanee of Mr. Lockett, of Macchester, who, loge toer with his father, have established the reputation of having done more u engravers to calico printers to over. come the obstacles to the sate se of machine printing than any men in existence. The next rooms which the Premier and Lady Russell visited were those denominated the " s oyes." Stoves, however, in calico Tinting works, are not necessarily places for diffusing heat or warmth; and these in question are merely enclosed and roofed area, in which, without artificial heat, the pieces of cloth, after re ceiving the mordaunts at the printing machines, are sus. pended from hooks at the top of the room to dry, and for eviporative purposes. To this end it is necessary that the atmosphere should circulate freely through the place, and these soralled "staves" are Principally contrived with • view to securing this result. Perhaps not one in a hundred warmly of your readers wi.l understand what we mean by " mordaunts," and iticety-nine at taut of the number will be at a lOU to impedes the deep interest which the disen guished visitors at the Mayfield dye and print works on this °evasion had reason to take in the processes hen alluded to. These who have seen letter-press pruning, or the printing of a sheet like the newspaper they are now reading, are aware that the colour or ink used in the proses., whether black, red, or blue, is conveyed from the metal to the paper at once in the machine; but the printing of patterns upon cloth is a very different matter. Instead of colours, whet are called " mordaunts" are the substitutes for printing ink, and these mordaunts are %nosily composed of metallic oxides dissolved in aseeti: acid. Take as an example alundas (the basis of alum), or oxide of iron, dissolved in vinegar ; this is a common " morda un t" used for the purpose. And the mordaunts being deposited on the cloth by the printing machine, the next thing is to asp erste the elements of which they are composed and get rid of one of them. The drying (or, as it is called sgeicg" process), does this by causing the vinegar to fly off and evaporate, leaving tee metallic oxides only upon the fabric. Thus the beautiful and striking patterns upon dress pieces which so astonish and rivet the attention of the beholder may be delineated upon the fabric in elmost colourless hues composed of the se oxide., when they came from the printing machine ; and it is in the dye vat that the finishing stroke Is given to the process which is the crowning miracle of the whole. For you see the cloth *Seeped in the dye vat, and expect it will come out of the same uniform colour all Over ; but behold, it emerges glowing with the various shades and tints of the rainbow ! In fact, the dye which has rendered one pert of the printed pattern black, may have given a red Dolour to another portion, and a puce or a purple to a third; whilst the groundwork on which the pattern is designed to be exhibited, will have rejected the dye altogether wed remaia unchanged. Of course these extraordinary results nave their origin in the chemical disetveries which have been brought to bra , on the art; and Lord and Lady Russell and party spent • considerable space of time with Mr. Graham, the partner who has the direction of this department, in his laboratory, witnessieg experiments illustrative of the silvan , tages which the science has conferred upon the calico printer. Mr. Neil exhibited to Lady Rus sell the proton of dyeing the lilac colour, for which the Mayfield establishment has acquired such celebrity, and the party were next taken to the part of the establishment where the mousselline de-laine bleaching is carried on. One of the most interesting procures which can be witnessed here is that called " sulphuring "—a process in which an important improvement has recently been discovered and patented, which is here at work. Those who have handled the beautiful shawls of Cachmere are aware that they are remarkable for a softness which we look for in vain in the woollen fabrics of all other countries; but this new process of sulphuring bids fair to enable our manufacturers almost to vie with their eastern rivals in this respect. The old pro ems consisted in suspending the pieces of cloth in an air-tight room, so that the fumes of sulphur Gould be made to envelope them; but the new process causes the cloth to travel across the room filled with sulphur, and to pass under rollers,—the =colluded action having the ef fect of driving the sulphur thoroughly into the cloth, PO that it exercises an influence over the whole of the woollies I texture. The party afterwards visited the meek ma o p warehouse of the establishment, where Lady Fanny RUMOR honoured the firm by selecting a beautiful dress piece of mouselline-de loins, the pattern consisting of a small wide@ leaf edged with chocolate, on a pale blue ground. Tam noble premier and his lady expressed themselves much geed lied on leaving the premises after a sojourn there of an hour and a half, and the party at once drove off to Claymont. The workmen of Messrs. Hoyle and Sons appeared to take great Interest in their visitors, and their excitement was such at times that it was with difficulty they could ba kept at their work, and restrained from giving vent to their feelings In the mode so congenial to English habits by shouting the welcomes which they would have foond it so much more diffi cult to express in appropriate and befitting language. Sir B. Heywood had Invited a party to meet his noble guests at Claremont to dinner, and it included besides the members of his own family, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, the Very Rev. the Dean (Dr. Bowers) of Manchester, E. R Longworthy, Esq., Mayor of Salford; Sir Thomas B. Birch, Bart., M.P. ; William Rayner Wood, Esq. (son of the lath M.P. for Kendal); and W. Fairbairn, Este., C.E . This morning Lord John Russell, Lady Fanny Russell, Sir Benj sun Heywood, and party, were again engaged in visiting the public buildings and large work. shops of Manchtster and Salford. The first vide of 'he Premier was to Sir Elkanah Arm:tage's cotton 'pinning manufactory at Pendleton, where the noble lord had the opportunity of seeing the various processes of preparing, dressing, spinnlno, and weaving cotton goods on a large scale. His lordship on entering the mill expressed a desire to see the whole of the processes and trace the raw material from the bale as imported, through all the stages of mum facture till it was woven into cloth. On an open bale being shown his lordship, he :piked to see one of ened in his pre mince, sod was particular in tracing the material in each process, including dressing and cleaning, carding, roving, doubling, spinning, and weaving. Lod, Fanny Rouen, as well as the odd • lurd, took a deep interest in the meiotic rev., and soli. ited a specimen of the materiel in each stage of its pro.tress, including cotton in the uneleaned and cleaned state, in rovings, in 'e rn , and in the tom of threads put together for warps.

The elegant mansion in the park, linuisrl_y the seat of Willies' Garne t t, Esq.

Thu circumstances under ' which the library was obtained have been already . stated in W Ezprus. It Is now about thr ee mouths steee it was opened, end the subscriptions In books and towards books and spoliation for a museum moult to 3,0001. Toe library it self contains upwards of 6,000 volumes, and so well hal it been appreciated that the deliveries by the librarian to be rot d upon the premises have already nearly reached 8,000 volumes. Upon the table of the library, when his lordship arrived, were a set of handsome folio volumes, comprising " Gonkl's Birds of Australia and Birds of Europe," beautiful) y engraved and coloured. It lea present from the Earl of Derby, and is understood to bengal upwards of 2001. The Premier arrived in the park, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Heywood, Mr. Oliver Heywood, and his lordship's secretary, and wes received at the entrance by the Mayor and ex-Mayor of Salford, who introduced him into the ltbrary. A large crowd had amem• bled to witness the arrival of his lordship outside, and lined the carriage drive through the park. In the library were some of the principal members of the town council of Sal. ford, and we also observed present Mr. James Heywood, mu of the members for the northern division of the county of Lancaster. On his lordship entering the library, he was loudcheered, and having taken a seat, was addressed by Mr. Luagworthy, who at once proceeded to the ceremoty for which they had mumbled. HU WORSHIP said—My lord, it is with high ratifica tion, as the Mayor of this borough, that I have the honour to present to you the address, unaaimously agreed to by the town council of Salford, and it is with feelings of great grati fication that within our borough and its vicinity we welcome you as the prime minister of the crown. In your persoo, my lord, we recognise still additional motives of high appre ciation, when we ,consider the many great measures with which your name has been connected daring the long period of y tar public career ; measures ef great value to ourselves, and great benefit to the community, for which we feel deeply indebted to the gnat exertions your lordship has lead* in obtaining them. I will proceed without troubling s cur lordship with a long speech to read the address of the town council. The mayor having read the address, then presented it to his lordship. Lord JOHN RUSSELL Immediately said—Mr. Mayor, I thank you for the manner in which yeu have preseeted the address, and it Is wish great pleasure that I proceed to an swer it. Ilia lordship then read the following answer to the address:—" Mr. Mayor, and Gentlemen of the Borough of fiallord—l em mace gratified by the address you have done me the honour to present to me. lam happy to find that you attribute to me a love of social progress and of eonnitu tional lib.rty.

You are fully justified in saying that much remains to be accomplished, and that fur her measures, both fiscal and moral, are required, Lr the well. being of the people, to improve institutions, in accordance with the sate of the people, and to fit the people for improved institutions, are both of them noble tasks. Your position qualifies you to take a lead in the second of these labours; and I am happy to acknowledge Vogt you are doing much to raise the mind, , and direct to worthy oejects the pursuits of your fellow citizens. I trust you will be rewarded by seeing en increased spirit of loyalty and religion, and that the content of your community will prove the success of your exertions." The noble lord arrived at the Town Hall,Mutchester, aecut a quarter after 12 o'clock at noon, were he bad signified his "Wit:guess to receive the &Meese voted him on the prise ious ' day by the corporation of Manehester. The mayor's parlour was fixed upon as the reception hall, and here the address was presented, in the presence of the whole body of the councl, including James Kershaw, EN., 14 ; Sir Elks nab Armitage, David Price, lesq ; Joseph Brotherton, Esq , M.P. ; Atel•cman Seuttleworth, Alexander Kay, E-q.: Alderman Wild, Aldermen Hopkins, and Alderman Wil lett. His lordship was roxived with loud cheers, and JOHN POTTER, Esq., Mayor of Manchester, then ad dressed his loroshin as (educe My Lord John Russell, assure your lordship I feel very keenly my own inabnity adequately to do justice to the occasion which has brought us together this morniug.

There are two mod es - in which a govern ment can foster and promote trade and commerce. The first, which is the leant direct, but the most powerful in its effects, is by securing to every man the impartial administra• tion of l.w, and the enjoyment of personal and political freedom; the other is, by the removal of restrictions and monopolies affecting trade, agriculture, and manufactures. It has been my endeavour to promote, humbly but earnestly, in both these ways, the great interests of labour ; b a t I cannot give the chief place to the efforts of statesmen, even far more effective than mine, for the advancement of these objects. The free spirit, the independent mind, the patient industry, the inventive skill of the people of this realm, have been the main causes of growing population, increasing wealth, and augmentcdpower. You have done me the honour to observe that, is seeking to amend and reform, I have endeavoured to nuke the least possible disturbance of existing arrange menta ; and I am rejotced to find that my caution has met with your approbation. lam confident that in no part of the empire would the adoption of an extr.:ine policy, in what.yer direction it might tend, be more sensibly and more calemitously telt (in the suspension of business, the diminution. of trade, and the interruption of confidence) than in this great centre of manufactures. While, there fore, I am a warm (rend of prcgrests, I am convinced that it if above all things desirable that any reforms which we may propose should be calmly weighed, and, when proved to be desirable, effected without disturbance to the peace of the country. A great nninbcr of people had assembled ou'side the Town-hall by the time of his lordship's Cepartore, and cheered him heartily as he entered his carriage. From the Town-hall his lordship went to the Exchange, where he was introduced by the Mayor of Manchester, and accom panied his worship through the building amidst the hearty cheers of the gentlemen assembled. After partaking of latch at Sir Benjamin Heywood'. bank, where Lord John Itussell rejoined Lady Fanny Rumen, and the remainder of the party, the elisting&shed visitors proceeded to the silk mill of Messrs. George Smith and San, Lower Mosley-street, Manchester, and from thence to the Oxford road Twist Company'e mills, and to the large wholesale warehouse of the Mayor of Manchester. I shall describe more minutely his lordship'. progress, however, in my next letter. His lordship was well received wherever he waa recognised. The weather has been incle ment, and the movements of the party have no doubt been circumscribed to some eats nt by that circumstance. It is expezted that Lord and Lady Russell will tsko their depar ture fee the metropolis to-morrow morning, or by the even ing exprcsa train at the latest.

He argued th at the present was not merely a Dublin question; and quoted the fable of the belly and the members to show that all In land would suffer by a measure which they foolishly supposed affected Dublin alone. Air. S.ritch observed that one of the principal rea sons for which he would advocate the removal of the court was, that it was a portion of the centralization which, as it had done in great empires before now, presaged in his mind the destruction of Great Britain. A preliminary meeting of the Royal Dublin So oiety was held yesterday, for the purpose of promot ing the objects of the On at London Exhibition of 1851. The chair was taken by the Lord Mayor, who referred in glowing terms to the proceedings at the recent grand banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London, and to the speech made on that occasion by Prince Albert. It was announced that the Lord Lieutenant would head the het of subscriptions from this country by putting down his name for 1001. ; a n d it was resolved that in order to give the city of Dub lin an opportunity of co-operating for the support of the exhioiticn, a requisition should be got up, calling on the Lord Mayor to convene a public meeting of the citizens for that purpose. Lord Roden presided yesterday at a meeting of the Irish Society, a body whose object is to convert the Irish peasantry by means of missionaries preaching and circulating the scriptures in their native language. TENANT RIGHT. GREAT NEETING IN BALLYNALI, coorrY KILKENNY. WATERFORD NEwS OFFICE, APRIL 2.—On Mon day, the let of April, one of those vast assemblages (though for a different purpose) which we were wont to witness is '43, took place at Ballyhala, in the county Kilk • nay, about fourteen miles from this city, and one and a half from the little village of Carricksh. ek, where the tithe system received its death blow. (The barb.rous slaughter, to wit, of Captain Gibbons and fourteen of he constabulary.) When we left Waterford, at 9 o'clock, the day, though presenting a threatening aspect, still " held up' fine till about eleven, when rain, accompanied by a dreadful gale , came down in torrents. We arriv a l a t Ballybale at half. put eleven, and at twelve the meeting was advertised to take place, but, owing to the unpropiCousnese of the day, it was postponed till about four o'cLek, at which period the Rev. Robert Shea, P.P., Bellyhtle ; Rev. Th omas O'Shea, R.,. M. Keefe, lila ; Rev. Mr. Scully, Kroektopher ; Rev. Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Cody, Callan, and a large body of respectable farmers from the surrounding dierlct., ascended a spacious plat.-rai, which was erected at the cud of Mr. Brannan's house, at the north side of the street. At this time the rain was heavy and incessant, and to make it the more lute .mfortable it brought to its aid a breeze powerful enough to sweep away an ordinary platform. At this time, however, there could not have been less than be tween three and Lau thousand persocs standing in the open air and unsheltered, listening to, and cheering on, the differ ant speakers.

Why, then, has Mr. Woodington given his sailors short hair and whiskers, like modern tars ? Mr. Wood• ington may reply that there are precelonts for what he has done.

But this is no justification when we consider that the subjtct to le dealt with was historical, a. d truth of delineation as well as forcible execution were to be attsined. Conceive the mist,ke of an antiquarian making philosophical deductions centuries hence by a close scrutiny of the Nelson column. Were we to admit the possibility of dsciati.n from truth, of what value would ancient monuments become where the dress and character of a people are deduced from the sculptural delineations of the period? One may par don Van Eyck and Memling for putting Scriptural figures into mediaeval armour. Iterubrandt painted high priests like Dutch burgomasters—but this is no reason why Mr. Woodington should deprive Nelson's sailors of their pigtails. It makes one lose all idea that his work depicts the scene as it really took place. This much being said, we are ready to admit that the execution of the work is broad, and not d, void of character. Nelsen is made to appear reclining in the arms of his men, who have b. me him into the cock pit to have his wound dressed. Tho occasion is that upon which our hero lost an eye, at the Battle of the Nile. A surgeon is leaving a sailor whom he was tending, and comes forward to dress the wound of the admiral, who refuses, however, to bo cared for before his turn comer. There is dignity in the look of Nelson, whilst the languid position of the body depicts suffering. The figure of the surgeon, too, is good, and the movement natural ; but there is. is the general aspect of the composition, an unfinished breadth which leaves doubts as to the completion of the work. The figure of a sailor on the right hand is awkward, one of the legs being consideral4 out of drawing. As compared with Mr. Carew's composition on the opposite stole there is more sali erce i n Mr. Wooding ton's style. Hi s figures are larger, on a ccount o f t h e smaller number of people i n hi s group. There is some sameness in the position of Nelson, who, in both, is carried down wou n d e d, b ut this was, perhaps, unavoidable. ENGRAVING. Portrait afEdsoardes.
