LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1862. We hope Mr. LINDSAY'S or Lord TEMPEST'S motion will be fairly discussed to-morrow night. Every thing admonishes us that it is of the last importance to decide it correctly—the rapidly ceasing employ ment of our Lancashire mills; the meetings of various kinds in the North ; the perplexities of the Poor-law Board ; the appeals to public charity ; the impatience of Sir CHARLES WOOD'S sluggish ness and obstructiveness in the Government of India—all remind us that the next winter will be a serious crisis in the most populous and wealth producing part of our kingdom. And we submit to public consideration that this question—the question of our relation to the Confederate States —has hitherto been discussed on far too narrow grounds. We admit that for a time it was right to abide by the technicalities of international law, and that if the North prohibited our trading with its Southern ports, we wore bound to do so. We ought to wait and see whether the insurrection of the South was a revolution, an affair of mob tur bulence, or the union of a vast community for what they regarded as their rights. We were right, therefore, as a matter of humanity, in recognising the temporary position of belligerents as the one we must assign to each ; though even this gave such mortal offence to the proud citizens of the North. But we must equally deny that we are bound to stop at that position just as long as the ambition of the North may see fit . to demand. Now that the South has maintained its position for a full year, and seems likely to main tain it for ever, now that it has driven the great army of the North from its capital, with little apparent likelihood of ever losing that capital, now that it has shown itself capable of superhuman exertions and sacrifices to achieve its independence, we ore entitled by the laws of nations to consider whether the Southern Government has not earned its title to recognition. Even on the ground of international law we must think we are now at liberty to deal on the de facto principle with the South. We are met indeed at the threshold, with a kind of augmentum ad Angliam—an appeal to English consistency, against acknowledging a Slavery Re public, one whose cornerstone is slavery. We heartily wish the argument would hold, as between North and South. We are sorry it will not. The cornerstone of the Union is also slavery. This is distinctly so—for Mr. LINCOLN has twenty times, and in twenty forms, declared that to abolish slavery would destroy all hope of restoring the Union. There is no mistake on this point. The much lauded, but really infamous constitution of the Union, provided that the Union by its Federal powers should uphold slavery, and force back the fugitive to the whipping post of his tyrant. The Union created that abomination of Christian civili zation, the fugitive slave law, and Mr. LINCOLN himself, as an essential condition of the Union, in sisted on the maintenance of that law, and has, even since the rebellion, put in force in Washington. Moreover, the North everywhere depresses, insults, an d d e p r i ves o f c i v il r i g h ts th e f ree negro es ; the _ their Illinois has just passed resolutions to pro hibit entry withi n its territories. We cannot allow, ther efore, ana that to recognise actual slave holdersrecognise those wh o is at all worse than to are fighting to include them with themselves in one Government, and those who, if they do not enslave t technical relati e North their doors, or politically and socially drive him from ba ne maltreat him. viewtboeatouu:rhtiheeh we most important, hinted, and But the overrides tI . L? which seems LuPortant is that, whateversomuatyh, the case which is one 1,- ernues tech nicalities. Here and the we, of course, includ e F rance With ourselves. We hold that th e question cotton v supply is one of such m agnitu d e that the ne cess ity of millions being saved from st arvation, or , what is as bad, being saved from the d e moralisation mese . quent on pauperism, requires us to acknowledg e that necessity as a hi g h er law than any of the con ventional arrangements termed international law. Not only is the independence of the South now a fact, and the Union a fiction, but, were it not so, it is now for us to consider the moral claims of our starving millions in comparison with the demands of the North to prohibit our buying of the South. We maintain that the moral claims of the THE SUN LONDON, TITURSD I/ EVENING JULY 17, 1F62. operatives of France and England are so strong that Mr. LINCOLN has no right to set against them the ambition of the North to rule the South, or, if he prefers the expression, to enforce the restoration of Federal relations between them. It comes then to a question of policy. Looking at India, looking at Canada, have we a right to inform Mr. LINCOLN that with or without his consent we shall reopen the cotton trade at the three ports—Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile— not now in possession of the Union ? Of course in forming him that we did so simply to save our workmen from starvation, and that we should take no part in the war, even at those ports, beyond seeing to it that our traders went out and in in safety. In regard to India we see, alas ! that our hopes have deceived us. Manchester, hankering after American cotton, and hoping against hope for peace, did not cover India with its agents, to teach the natives, and to buy of them, and her operatives need, now, a speedier help than India can furnish. As we could not get enough cotton from America to supply our wants for years to come, India would still have the fairest opportunity gradually to in- crease her supply. But war with America, and danger to Canada, we are told, would be the immediate result ; then, it is added, it would be cheaper for us to support Lancashire in idleness than to fight the North. To that we demur. We maintain that we should give no casus Belli to the North ; and the South has some claim on us; but our operatives' claim to the cotton the South is willing to sell is of such a nature that we cannot admit the right of the North to prohibit our purchasing it. Then, as to the North declaring war against England, we do not believe it dare do so. In that case our recogni• tion of the South must be with an offensive and de fensive alliance ; and the South has pretty well shown that it could furnish the North with military occupation. Again, France would be heartily with us, and the North would be in turn cut off from the world—every Southern port would be opened—the Mississippi would be restored to the States border ing on it, and the Northern ports would be blockaded. We have, however, no fear of war. The North would be but too glad to cover its defeat by the South under the pretext that it could not fight the South, England, and France together. As to trade—the South is now our only hope. The North has out off, with its own hand, the trade of Europe, and professes to exult in the sufferings of Lancashire, and the manufacture of all articles it needs at home. The South, at least, is interested in free-trade ; so in fact are the North-Western States, for both want to sell agricultural pro duce dear, and to buy manufactures cheap. We have, then, commercial hold of the entire South, and of half the North itself ; and it will not be easy, therefore probably quite impossible, to unite the whole of the Northern States in a war with two great European powers. The main consideration is, however— would it be right for England and France to insist on recognising the independence of the South ; or to insist on—what comes practically to the same thing—a perfectly free trade in cotton from Southern ports which are in the hands of the South itself, it being obvious that the South will not ship at ports occupied by Northern troops. If this be right, as we believe it is, then we may safely do it: We shall be justified both by heaven and earth in taking cotton from those willing to part with it, rather than see Manchester and Rouen starved to death, or supported by charity. The reconstruction of our Navy—the transfor mation of our hearts-of-oak into iron-plates--a change like this so gigantic and so comprehensive renders the actual condition at this moment of the British iron trade a matter of paramount import ance. There is not a patriotic Englishman amongst us but will turn to the consideration of this great subject, with unaffected interest, whenever, in its regard, there may arise an opportunity of obtain ing anything like reliable information. And here upon the very threshold, as it were, before taking another step in search of this reliable information, the wonderfully welcome fact forces itself upon our recognition that " for the first time in the history of the world" the Supply of Iron Exceeds the Demand ! Strictly speaking, then, the present may be called with truth the Age of Iron. Far more even than the Age of Gold—notwithstanding the affluent outpourings of the precious metal carried across the ocean in shiploads from California, and from British Columbia, and from our Australian possessions. The Nineteenth century is literally in a double sense the Age of Iron. It is so, be cause of the abundant and overflowing supplies of that once rare and costly material. And it is so, moreover, still more, if possible, because of the multiplicity of its means of application or employ ment. Although iron has been more or less in use from the remotest ages, from the days of TUBAL CAIN, downwards, the iron trade as it now is, dates back to a period, comparatively speaking, very recent indeed. The growth of this wonderful branch of industry has only in fact been very lately described in any way worthily. WILLIAM FAIR BAIRN, the greatest authority upon the subject of Iron living, the greatest worker or applier of iron (we might venture to assert without any fear what ever of contradiction) either living or dead, is the practical philosopher and master engineer whose hand has but very recently traced the History of Iron, and narrated with befitting accuracy its Pro perties and Processes of Manufacture. Others with him—SCOFFERN, CLAY, OXLAND, TRIIRAN, AITKIN, PICKETT—had previously recorded the peculiarities as the various useful metals and their alloys, particularising at the same time (1857) their application to the industrial arts. But Mr. FAIRBAIRN it is who has still more recently (1861) penned—it should have been either with the latest improvement in the shape of a steel pen, or with some classic specimen of the iron stylus—the " History of Iron," with the record, as we have said, of its Properties and of its Processes of Man ufacture. Aided by all the lights that have thus been thrown upon the past and present condition of the iron trade, more particularly in our own country—we arrive at the distinct apprecia tion of the wonderful and vitally important fact above alluded to. Namely, that precisely at the very epoch when such a circumstance has be come, so to speak, more than ever desirable, we might say even, in a measure, an imperative neces sity—for the first time in the annals of the earth, the supply of iron exceeds the demand, within the present century ! That although the period has actually arrived when England has been covered over with an iron network of more than 10,000 miles of railway ! A length of iron road requir ing in its mere repair a daily consumption °I nearly 500 tons of this now all but übiquito us spi cuous , .metal. As a circumstance con . 'Y indicative of the vast consump tion of • t rous we have mentioned these more than ten thousand :rill:ae :Hes of iron railway —merely to b eg i n machinery with! Besides those we have iron possible; calculation ! we constructing beyond all andiron have ou r bridgesestuaries. our directions spanning We have iron houses, and churches per. in all petnally in course of manufacture for "home con sumption," as the prospectuses say, and still more frequently, we believe, for "exportation." We are spinning iron out, as a protective sheathing for the electric care of copper, in countless lengths for telegraphic wires, both submarine and superterres trial. We have built blocks upon blocks of iron fire proof warehouses. We have almost all the various appliances of civilised life fabricated in the same protean and magically adaptible metal iron fences, iron railings, iron gutters, iron hurdles, iron ' pumps, iron window frames, iron p ipings, iron shutters, iron doors, iron spoutings, iron mile-posts, (mile -stones becoming rapidly more and more of a misnomer), iron street curbs, iron utensils and imple ments of every conceivable description, domestic and agricultural. That inexhaustible Hnmourist, the the author of the immortal ballad of " Miss Kil mansegg and her Precious Leg," would have found a still more facil theme for his whimsicalities had he imagined her leg constructed of Iron rather than of Gold. Yet meeting us though it does at every turn in some strange and wondrous metamorphose —iron pours into our possession more rapidly than we can turn it to our use. Even at this crowning epoch in its History, when it is about to replace in the form of iron ships -of - war the old hearts -of - oak fleets that, manned by other hearts of oak in the shape of our gallant tars have won for England the glory of her maritime supremacy. As to the rate of increase of late years in our production of iron, as the " raw material" for all these appliances, enough will have been said when we have mentioned that, whereas in 1840 it was a little less than 1,400,000 tons—and had risen in 1854 to 2,700,000 tons—it absolutely exceeded in 1860 the stupendous aggregate of 4,150,000 tons! This in " pig iron," the rawest of the raw mate rial—in " paddled iron," that is iron partially ma nufactured—and in " wrought iron," or iron actu ally finished and ready for employment. A re viewer in the current number of the Edinburgh, in the course of a singularly able and instructive paper upon this subject, ingeniously compares these three very different descriptions of iron —to render their difference at once perfectly comprehensible even to the uninitiated—the " pig iron" to flour, the "puddled iron" to dough, and " wrought iron" to the perfected loaf. A comparison, by the way, all the more apt upon consideration, when we reflect that "the staff of life," by the processes of digestion, yields to our system the wherewithal requisite for the fabrication and repair of parts of our animal economy as various as bone and muscle, nails and hair, veins and arteries, blood and nerves! Typical all this of the railroads and telegraphic wires, the houses and the bridges, the implements and the machinery, constantly in course of fabrication from iron by the skill of our artificers. The Edinburgh Review, in the brilliant and instructive article here referred to, condenses within a very brief compass the epitome of the "History of Iron," as relsted by Mr. FAIR BAIRN, the distinguished engineer. This survey, rapid though it is, extends back to the Homeric age, when, as the suffer remarks, iron was so rare that a lump of it no bigger than a man could carry, was deemed a prize not unworthy of being struggled for in the funeral games of Paalto cLus. The marifest knowledge among the Romans of the art of " increasing the blast and the combustion of the furnaces," is duly recognised as the sequel to the first of those three great inven tions, forming the" landmarks in the history of the iron manufactures." The earliest of these three great inventions, the starting point in those notable annals being, of course the production of pig-iron— say by TUBAL CAIN. DUDLEY'S discovery, imme diately before the date of the Commonwealth, of the art of substituting common coke or coal for charcoal in the smelting farnace being the second ! Finally came the third and crowning discovery—the appli cation of the hot blast in lieu of the cold blast blown into the furnace, thereby wondrously increasing the combustive power obtained in the process of manu facture. This discovery of the hot blast dating back only some three end-thirty-years from the present date—the invention having been patented as re cently as 1829, br Mr. NEILSON of Glasgow, who has the honour of being the inventor. From TUBAL CAIN and DUD DUDLEY, and on to Mr. NEILSON of Glasgow—behold the three great epochs in the rise and development of the grand Cycloprean system of the world's iron manufacture ! A system so marvellously developed by this time that our car riages, our ships, our roads, our houses, our bridges, are all capable of being made with iron—are being made with iron in all directions ! That it were easier to enumerate the things that are not made of iron than those that are ! That our annual make of iron—pig-iron, puddled-iron, wroughtiron— is rapidly advancing here in the United Kingdom alone from an aggregate of from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons ! Truly this more than any pre vious epoch in the world's history is peculiarly and essentially, as we have said, the Age of Iron. One distinguished as such from all others not so much by the universal use to which iron is put, but by that fact over which the lovers 'of the arts of civilization can notexult sufficiently, that exceptional fact,which we cannot repeat too frequently, that it is the first epoch in which the supply of iron exceeds the demand, extraordinary though that demand is known to be. We entirely concur with Mr. HENLEY in the plain common-sense view which he took of the bill for the prevention of night poaching last night. It will lead either to doubling or trebling the county police, or to their being half killed by poachers_ It is a bill for the open conversion of the police into gentlemen's gamekeepers, and thus preserving sport for these gentlemen, at the cost of the general public. We have said sport, we ought rather to say diversion or amusement. The game preserving which gives rise to poaching is not for anything so manly as sport, but just enables the effeminate modern fowl-shooter to station himself where the game shill be driven to the muzzle of his gun, to murder them by pop-shots. Were game preserved only in the way and to the extent requi site for sport worthy of the name, we should hear but little of poachers. As to rabbits and hares, they have no business to exist, except in very limited numbers, is a cultivated district, at all. They are among root crops simple vermin which dtstroy much more than they eat; and in fields of young corn, they devour it before it comes into ear. We are told by a metropolitan journal tha t game preserving has now become assimilated to keeping poultry. We are sure no sportsman would allow that it is so ; unless, indeed, he were employing such a description in condemnation of the practice of some of his landlord neighbours. We have no objection whatever that that should be done. We should desire nothing better than the abolition of game laws, and the application of the same laws to the preservation of any animals whatever which any person saw fit to keep d ome stically, as to poultry. If I choose to keep a tame magpie or raven, so that it can be recog nised as mine, why should I not be protected in the possession of it. We only ask then that these gentlemen poulterers who deal in pheasants, partridges, hares, and rabbits should, to such a reasonable extent, domesticate and protect them, that they should lose the chargte. ter of wild animals and become private property. While they allow them to roam as wild creatures, it is perfectly certain that the poacher and the thief will never, in the rustic judgment, become conver. tible terms. We can tell the game-preserving landlords that they are doing a very unwise thing for their order in thus turning the police into gamekeepers. In two houses, nearly constituted of landlords, it is easy for them to pass the bill now before them ; but it will not be easy to get rid of the discredit which will long attach to its memory, or to prevent the great change it will produce in the character and position of the rural police. We think Sir G. GREY tind Mr. HENLEY deserve the highest credit for their manly resistance, in such a House, to such a measure. They were desirous to prevent the House from yielding to the strongest of temptations, that of legislating for the class to which the members almost all belong. The House hasjust gained itself some credit by putting an extinguisher on the BUCCLEUCH job—they will lose it all, if they do not take care, in this darker job of night poaching. We wonder very much how many out of the 3,000,000 inhabitants of this capital will find it possible to swallow Mr. CRAWFORD'S explanation of the mot;ves • recently actuating the majority of the Thames Embankment Committee ? The mem ber for the City of London has a word or two to say on his own behalf and on that of his brother committeemen. They had not the faintest idea of gratifying in any way his Grace of BUCCLEUCH. What he decided upon was designed by them en tirely pro bons publico. Just in the same way—was it not ?—to gratify not: his sub serviency, but his spleen, that Mr. PECKSNIFF summarily dismissed Tom PINCH from his house hold because, forsooth ! he (Mr. PECKSNIFF) had a duty to discharge to Society ! The Committee upon the Thames Embankment had a duty to discharge to society in the matter of that embankment, and so—entirely for the general advantage —they pro posed to mar the whole scheme by breaking it short off at the corner of Whitehall-gardens. It was simply a coincidence that, by so doing tb.e privacy of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH'S shrubberies before the river front of Montagu House came to be preserved : or, rather(h appily we can say this), was merely proposed to be preserved. As good luck would have it, the House of Commons, in committee, thought diffe rently from the Committee. The result being that the amendment was amended back again. Mr. CRAWFORD'S letter to-day, striving to explain away that blunder on the part of the melancholy little majority of seven (of which the hon. gentle man himself was one), will go down, we believe, with not half-a-dozen out of our 3,000,000 Lon doners. MEXICO, A letter from Mexico, dated Jv'ne 10, says : The French still remain stationPsy at Orizaba, and from all I can learn there appears to be little chance of an im mediate advance upon th.o capital. They have been joined by some 5,000 reactionary troops formerly under the com mand of Cobos, Marques, and others. These are being drilled and plat ; Q under the command of French officers. Zuloaga, Cobos, and Padre Miranda were shipped off by the last packet; the country is well rid of such scum. Marques has joined the French, and has since been em ployed in escorting 250 waggons from Vera Cruz to Orizaba, laden with provisions and stores for the army. This would seem to indicate a lengthened stay at Orizaba, and the general opinion seems to be that Lorencez will not attempt any offensive operations until he has received re inforcements from France. Ortega, with the San Luis and Zacatecas contingents, amounting to about 4,000 men, passed through the capital a few days back, with the in • tention of joining Zaragoza, who is supposed to be stationed, with the main body of his forces, at San Augustin de Palma, midway between the cities of Puebla and Orizaba. The latter, when all the reinforcements have joined, will be able to muster between 15,000 and 18,000 men, This force once disposed of, the country at all events between Orizaba and Mexico will lie at the mercy of the French ; and, as the interior has beer drained to get together this force, I doubt much whether any further opposition will be attempted, except such as may result from an ill-organized guerilla warfare, which would be easily put down. The present party have little to hope from the enthusiasm of the nation. Proclamations calling upon the people to arm in defence of their liberty and homes have been tried, but failed of effect; and nothing can better prove the complete apathy of the nation than the fact that not a single volunteer corps has been raised, and that Juarez is left dependent upon the forces originally levied to combat the reactionary party, and which are now recruited solely by forced conscription. The idea, therefore, entertained by portions of the English press that the French had only to show themselves as invaders for the Mexican people to rise en tauten is purely absurd. The fact is that the great majority of the nation dread European policy far less than they do American ; they are capable, moreover, of discriminating between war declared against the party now ruling in the capital and war declared against the nation generally ; and, although they deprecate in strong terms the course pursued in putting forward Almonte, still they are rather disposed to view the French as friends than as invaders who seek to destroy their nationality, The conduct of Sir C. Wyke and General Prim is much criticised by the French and Spanish residents here. They argue " that the English and Spa nish Commissioners might reasonably disapprove the con duct of M. de Saligni, and refuse to allow the Spanish forces to take part in any aggressive movement, but that it did not therefore follow that they were warranted in order ing the re-embarkation of those forces, thus leaving the French entirely to their own resources ; that before taking such extreme measures they night, at all events, have awaited further instructions from home." Certainly it does appear strange ships should have been placed at the disposal of General Prim, that his troops might be con veyed to Havannah with the least possible delay, and that the very first act of Sir C. Wyke upon his arrival at Puebla should be to sign a treaty with the party against whom our allies had only a few days previously declared war. All these extraordinary circumstances may be easy of explana tion, but to the uninitiated here they are utterly incompre hensible. It is asserted in well-informed cir Iles that Gene ral Prim was, in the first instance, instructed by O'Donnel to back the French policy, but that when it became known to the Queen of Spain that the Archduke Frederick Maxi • milian was likely to be put forward as a candidate for the Mexican Throne she took umbrage, conceiving that a Spa nish prince ought to have been preferred ; that other in structions were afterwards sent him, and hence the present compication. Juarez and his party are now building all their hopes upon the Corwin Treaty, and they have already, by antici pation, disposed of the greater part of 11,000,000 dols thereby secured. Many doubt whether the United States, notwith standing their recent successes, will be willing to involve themselves in Mexican affairs. A few days will solve the mystery. No one believes that the Wyke-Doblado Treaty will be ratified by our Government, therefore few trouble their heads about it. Reports are current to- day that Zaragoza is only waiting the arrival at Ortega to attack the French in Orizaba. The reception his troops met with in the " Barranca Secca" on the 18th of last month will, in my opinion, be sufficient to deter him from such an act of folly. Ido not believe that the Mexicans will ever again meet the French in the field ; they may, perhaps, make a stand behind walls, but even that I consider do ubtful. It is ass e rt ed, with how muc h truth I know not, that a French foraging party was at tacked by General Negrete at the head of a large force, but that the latter was completely routed. The ridiculous proclamations put forward by the Govern ment and its Generals to the effect that the French soldiers have come to deposit their decoration s at the feet of the Mexican braves, coupled with the report, now generally believed, that several French wounded were bayoneted on the field after the affair of the sth, have excited feelings in the French only to be washed out by blood. This is much to be regretted. Buitson, a reactionary chief, still holds his ground in the mountain de las Cruces, a few leagues from the city. He levies contributions, robs diligences, seizes conductas, &c. Only a few days back he attacked and destroyed a small Government force stationed about two leagues from Mexico. In the face of all this we are gravely assured that the pre sent Government are capable of restoring peace and tran quillity thr oug h out the republic, and, what is still more astounding, there are some people who are fools enough to believe in these assurances. Don Manuel Escandon, the great Mexican capitalist, died on the morning of the 7th. By a decree of the 27th of May, " Goods coming from Vera Cruz are to pay i m portation, internation, and all other extra duties which would have been recovered in that port if in po ssess i on of t h e Supreme Governments. Merchants, therefore, wishing to bring up merchandise must pay double duties. Such an enactment is, of course, tantamount to a prohibition.

The P atrie states, on the authority of private correspondence from Warsaw, that three officers of the Russian army, who had been condemned to death by a court-martial, " for having excited and propagated discontent against the Government," were shot on the 28th of June in the fortress of Modlin. Their names were Arnhold, Sliwicki, and Roskowski. The first was a Swede, from Finland; the second a Russian ; and the third a Pole. The sentence was not executed in Warsaw, from an apprehension that the soldiers might refuse to carry it into effect, and give a dangerous example of in subordination. The three officers were shot at the foot of the fortress wall ; they died with great courage. Arnhold left a sum of 5,000 roubles to pay his own debts and those of his comrade, Sliwicki; the remainder to be given to the library of his regiment and some charitable institutions. It is stated that the execution has not had the effect anticipated, but has excited a general feeling of indignation, as it was considered that on the trial no crime was proved against them that could legally incur the penalty of death. COCHIN CHINA. A private letter from Saigon, of the 31st of May, published by the Moniteur de l'Armee, states that Admiral Bonard has inserted in the Treaty of Peace negotiated with the Envoys of the Emperor of Annam some stipulations in favour of the Christian religion. The Admiral has demanded that all the advantages conceded to France and the Roman Catholic Church by the Emperor Gia-Laong, from 1789 till 1802, and revoked by that Monarch's successors, shall be again recognised. The Admi ral reminded the Envoys that it was to an illus trious Frenchman, the Bishop d'Adran, and his compatriots, that Gia-Laong, the grandfather of the reigning Emperor, owed the conquest of his States when he had been driven from them by an usurper. He added that the concessions then made by this Prince could not be considered as simple acts of favour, but were the price of eminent services rendered him.

HIS HIGHNESS THE VICEROY OF EGYPT'S FETE. His Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, in ord er tc :, testify his appreciation of the hospitality he had received during his visit to London, more particu larly to those whose gra ce f u l f avours he had received, determined to receive them in Oriental style ° ll board his fine steam yacht yesterday. For several days many pers o n s have been engaged in preparations for the fete, and as far as the in structions of the Vicer o y were concer ned no expense had been spared to make the entertainment worthy of the giver and also the receivers. Our readers will remember that the Viceroy's steam yacht went to Liverpool to be lengthened, and since may be said to be thoroughly transformed: The well-known firm of George Forrester added 7 5 feet to her length, and after many additions to the steam machinery, the state saloons were handsome l y . . decorated by papi e r mac h e an d g l ass p a nels painter! is landscapes. The roof of the state saloon, divided into numerous compartment s , w ith a gilt mould ing, has a rich and light aspect. The state saloon, wherein the banquet was served, was carpeted by a rich pile carpet, admirably suited to the orna mental accessories of the room. All the furniture, excepting the chairs of the guests of his Highn e ' 36 ' was of the finest mahogany, covered with crimson satin brocade, and each of the saloon windows had t richly carved and gilt cornice, lung with curtains, of crimson and white brocade. The very master' piece of elegance and luxury was the Viceroy's bed room, en suite with the saloon. No Europea n potentate could have conceived a more elaborately furnished dormitory. The bedstead framework VS richly gilt, and the furniture covered by a beauti fully embroidered brocade. The spacious apart ment was adorned by rich buhl cabinets and chests of drawers of the choicest woods. In the centre was a table of ebony, bearing a candelabrum of. silver. At one end was the toilet table, the 10°1c ing-glass being framed in silver gilt. This lulu riously arranged room was on this occasion exolt i. sively appropriated to the Royal and distinguishe d female visitors. Among the alterations made at Woolwich, Messrs_ Forrester and Co., under the Viceroy's own orders, have added two state rooms on each of the paddle-boxes, which at a late hou r were used for smoking. Both rooms are lined with crimson and satin damask, with curtains of light blue figured damask, and blinds of marine blue The after deck was the prominent object of is forest. The path to the state cabin and saloon wa s covered with scarlet cloth, and all around the decic were terraces of the choicest varieties of flowers, No less than 4,500 plants were supplied by Mr. T. Brigden, of King William-street, City, and wh et were particularly admired, natural grapes, blaa" and white, apples, and figs, in pots, placed at it''' . tervals, The state saloon was beautifully deco • rated by the rarest cut flowers. The banquettieg table was tastefully arranged, and covers 'were laid for 50 persons. The ornamental plate was all of utilitarian description, for although the board 'as profusely decorated with flowers, there was an alr sence of the customary vases. Beyond some exqui" sitely•chased and sculptured stands containing bow bons, and the rare fruits clustered in bouquets, this table was different from anything to be seen e t home. On elaboratelyworked silver stands,worl' it:lg on a pivot,were placed seven descriptions of wine s ; sherries, hock, claret, sauterne, and linel, port DO champagne being also supplied. Next to the wines came a corresponding stand for raspberrie s, currents, and the most approved fruits o f the season. Then came a similar silve r s t an d an crystal dishes of pickles, so numerous in variety e s/ to surpass the writer's vocabulary. The 0 1 1 drawback to the Viceroy's princely entertainmen t ' and one that really is to be regretted, is the wen t of the bill of fare. We were informed that it NC ° , not usual with the E g ypti ans t o supp ly tha t medium of information, consequently we are able to gratify our readers. Suffice to say th e banquet was purely in the eastern style, the wioe ° , being permitted only by the enla rge d an d libera l views of the Viceroy. _ The Hon. Charles A. Murray, selected by t hB Queen to attend on the Viceroy, and Mr. Larking' the courteous diplomatic representative of h i° Royal Highness, were in attendance shortly afte r two o'clock, to superintend the preliminary arrange ments. Just before the company congregated a sever ° , storm passed over Woolwich, and it i s f eare d w ould mar the fete. The Duke and Duchess of Somerse t. ' Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston ,Earl Granville, Earl and Countess Russell, however, were among the early arrivals. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cara; bridge, the Princess Mary, and Prince William e l Denmark arrived at ten minutes to five o'clocis Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lady Marian Alford accompanied the Royal party. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge an d her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of g„kjen burg Strelit z , a tt en d e d b y L ady Caro line Cu st and Colonel Tyrwhitt, came shortly afterwards. The Viceroy's band, on the arrival of the Royal family, played the National Anthem. The banquet passed off without the slightest hitch' Gunter's experienced waiters were at a loss at tiineel owing to the courses being what they considere d not a la mode. However, the Royal and othe r guests seemed thoroughly to appreciate the extra ; ordinary affair. Nothing Imperial or Royal coal: surpass the choice fruit or the magnificence of t he banquet. Some of the dishes of Sevres china c ost 100 guineas each. It is as well to observe that t he Viceroy drank only water, that from the Nile, dur ing the banquet. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duolle eg of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar toolc their departure shortly after nine o'clock. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Viscoun t and Viscountess Palmerston, &c., left for Londe ° soon afterwards. The Earl and Countess Russell departed f et Richmond Park. All who had the honour to partake of the hneP,.. i ; tality of his highness retired hi g hly gra tified by the cordiality and magnificence of the entertainment' ARRIVAL OF PRINCE AND PRINCE SS LOUIS AT DA.RMSTADT.
