NOTICE. and P. COATS, Thread Manufacturers, t• FERGUSLIE THREAD WORRS, PAISLEY, for the satis faction of their friends at a distance, who may have seen in the "Gazette," or Newspapers, the Sequestration of J. & T. COATS & Co., Thread Manufacturers, Paisley, beg' leave to call attention to the following extract from the "Edinburgh Gazette" of 20th current, and to the article copied below, which appeared in the "Glasgow 3lorning Journal" of 22d inst., in reference to said Sequestration. PAISLEY, 27TH SEPT. 1839. - SEQUESTRATION.. - "J. & T. COATS iTa):4IANN -:— , Thread Manufacturers in Paisley, and JAMES ANDERSON, Thread Manufacturer in Paisley, and GEORGE 31`KENZIE, Thread Manufacturer there, and Lino Spirit Merchant there, and WILLIAm HILL, Thread Manufacturer there, as partners of said Company, and as la dividnals. Creditors to meet within the Rose and Thistle Hotel. County-place, Paisley, 27th September, at Two o'Clock."—Edinburgh Gazette, of Tuesday, 20th Sept., h 159. " It may be necessary. for the information of non-commer cial readers, to remark that the firmof J. & T. COATS & CO., Thread Manufacturers, Paisley, which appeared in the Ga zette' on Tuesday, has no connection with the eminent and wealthy firm of J. & P. COATS, of Ferguslie, near Paisley, and has not even a partner of the name of Coats in it. The title of the bankrupt firm was a ruse of the most unjustifiable kind, and one to which the Messrs. COATS have more than once been subjected. They had lately to defend themselves against a similar manoeuvre in America, and were successful. The Paisley concern appears to have quits deservedly ruined itself by its attempts to impose on the public. The great fame of the thread of the Ferguslie Works is, of course, the expla nation of these disgraceful fabrications. The Paisley case is another illustration of the necessity of a registration of firms and partners."—Glasgow Morning Journal of Thursday, 22d Sept., 1859. ,REAT WESTERN RAILWAY.- CHEAP EXCURSION TO BATH AND BRISTOL. — On SA URDAY, October 8, A TRAIN will leave Paddington at 040 p.m., for BATH (Fares, 12s and 65.); and BRISTOL (14s. and 75.), returning on Monday, October 10, from Bristol at 5 30 p.m., and Bath at 6 p.m. ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.- McCOLLIIM'S GRAND CIRQUE CLASSIQUE.

S P.A. P.E Y.) • 77,4 • 7 1 ' -414 position and rank could, consistently s - opinions, attend there to support the Ra. _1 her for Southampton. He could a tale unfold, for when the late Government were applied to for sym pathy and redress for the shipping interest, they gave them nothing but indignity and contempt, whereas they received from the present Government nothing but civility and attention. He asked them for a welcome for a gentleman who came there, as the accredited representative of the British shipping interest, to say God speed to the member of their choice. Mr. Seymour then advocated a uniformity of franchise in the boroughs and counties, with uo fancy franchises or artificial means of testing a man's fitness for a vote ; but he believed the new Reform Bill would only go to the extent of a .£lO franchise for counties, and a Lo or A.:6 franchise for boroughs. He lived some step wcu'd be taken to give to- voters the protection of the ballot, as a preventive of bribery and. intimidation, for there would then be no such inquiries as that going on at Gloucester, which he characterised as moonshine. Though a member of the Church. of England, he advocated perfect liberty of opi nion, and. said he should be ashamed of his church did it not rest for its basis on the affections of the people. After what had taken place in the Chi nese waters, he confessed that, if he was a Quaker, he would turn down his collar and prepare to pitch into them. A greater act of treachery and bad faith never disgraced even a barbarous nation. He hoped there was no trnth in the assertion that the Chinese guns were loaded with Russian bullets, and that they were fired by Russian artillery. If that be true, base as was the Chinaman, and barbarous as was the falsely called Celestial Empire, a country which could take such a course had gone back to the primitive barbarity from which it sprung, and had disgraced even the name of Christianity. He hoped the time would come when the truth would be revealed ; and, at all events, if Southampton's vote had to be given by him, it should be on the side of that course which should best vindicate the outraged honour of our country. The proceedings of the Emperor of the French had excited some in terest in this country, and without being lavish in our expenditure, it was the duty of England to be ready for war, and heshould be prepared to support any movement for encouraging the formation of volunteer corps, and taking steps to bring out the indomitability and courage now slumbering in the right arms of our countrymen. Ile expressed his sympathy with. Italy, and his cordial concurrence in the spirit of nationality which had been mani fested there ; and, with regard to the duchies, he hoped they would be joined to the banner and united to the sway of Piedmont. He never could be a party to the Emperor Napoleon setting up a Dictatorship on the fair plains of Italy, and he hoped that this country would not enter into any congress with its hands tied or lips sealed. He hoped, as he said be fore, that he and they would have many opportu nities of meeting together. It was at least some comfort to him to look round in that beautiful hall, and find that on that occasion he had around him something like 800 strong arms, 800 generous hearts•, 800 of the true, the generous, and the good, who would think it a Christian duty,and even an honour able political anxiety, to take care of their member's honour. All he cnild say was that they had taken him upon credit, and reposed a generous faith in him. when they knew him not ; and they paid him by anticipation, in a manly, fair, and liberal manner, the first tribute of their confidence and esteem. Whether his connection with them was short or long, and whatever his shortcomings may be, he could tell them that, if they were to him as true as he should prove to them, they would be a party so strong that, in place of dictation coming from the east or from the west, the dictators would have to come to them. (Cheers.) Ile heard something about union, something about shaking hands. Ile would say by all means let there be union, by all means let there be peace. Ile was ready to forgive. Tie had been wounded, but the smile of human benevolence would cover the wound up, and heal it for ever. Ile had been assailed, but he was willing, if only he was met in a proper spirit, to unite that night in political braherhood, even with the man who had struck him. Well, then, that was his dis position ; but their course was not to listen to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely. Let them not be deceived by those who cried peace, fraternity, and concord, but let them show it by their acts, and discover it by their fruits. If they wished to be at peace with them, let them give them specimens of the spirit that was in them. Those before him could, if they liked, be masters of their position ; they had identified themselves with a ncble cause, andthey had received the sentiments he had uttered that night with a determination to be in the vanguard of the Liberals of Southampton. Then let them stand by one another in a spirit of brotherly love, concord, and unity; with a spirit of honest self-reliance and self-dependence ; and so long as he was true to them, let them stand by him. Let them remember the history of Leonidas, and forget not the pass of Thermopylre. When the patriotic chieftain stood in the fatal pass, the Eas tern despot sent to him to say—" Our arrows, if you remain, shall darken the sky above you." " Then," said Leonidas, in reply, " Go, tell your haughty master, that if your arrows darken the sky, we will fight in the shade." (Cheers.) Mr. F. PERKINS proposed the next toast, " Our Visiting Friends," coupling with the toast the name of Mr G. F. Young, chairman of the Central Com mittee of the Shipping Association. Mr. YOUNG, in response, complimented Mr. Seymour for his speech, conceiving that they were fortunate in having him as their representative, for he had the rare quality of possessing a plain., honest, straightforward determination to speak the truth, whether it pleased or displeased. He combatted Mr. Seymour's views on the ballot, but compli mented him for the part he took in defending the shipping interests. Mr. Young avowed himself a Protectionist, but, as the country was determined to have free trade, he claimed. to have free trade in full, which they had not now, for the laws were now destroying the very root of British shipping, and would, in the course of a few years place foreign shipping in a position superior to it. Mr. Young declared that he had fought four contested elections, and won all of them ; and he then proceeded to reply to a speech of Mr. Lindsay at Sunderland ; but some impatience being manifested, he concluded by returning thanks for his reception. Mr. SEYMOUR proposed " The Trade and Com merce of Southampton," to which Mr. Arthur Andrews responded ; and two or three more toasts brought the proceedings to a conclusion. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1859. SOLDIERS-NOT STATUES! (The Florence Correspondent of the Times.) The Tuscan Government, thinking it their duty to labour at the promotion of letters and arts in this gifted country, which was their cradle, have issued several decrees, which I think will not be devoid Of interst for English readers. They have ordered complete editions of the works of Machiavello to be edited at the public expense, by Canettrina and Polidori, two distinguished scholars, under the direction of the Home Minister. They have decreed that six statues shall be cast in bronze ; two for Florence, to be erected in the Piazza Barbano. alias Piazza Maria Antonia, alias Piazza del lndipendenza (a magnificent new square, destined, it would seem, to bear as many names as the Place de la Concord in Paris), in honour of Napoleon 111. and Victor Emmanuel 11. ; two for Leghorn, one to Charles Albert, the other to Victor Emmanuel of Sardinia ; one for Lucca, of Fran cesco Barlamacchi, a Lucchese patriot, "first mar tyr of the cause of Italian independence ;" one for Sienna, in honour of Sallustio Bandini, " the founder of the theories on economical freedom ;" finally, one for Pisa, of Leonardo Fibonnacci, "the restorer of algebraic studies in Europe;" the statues of the Em peror and of the King in Florence to be ornamented by bas-reliefs, illustrating the events of the late Lombard war. Besides these sculptural works four historical pictures are to be painted, the subjects of which are to be supplied by great events in ancient and mo dern Italian history. The modern subjects are the voting of the decheance or the Austro-Lorraine dynasty by the Tuscan National Assembly and the reception by Victor Emmanuel 11. of the deputies of the said Assembly, bearers of the vote for the an nexation of Tuscany to the great and strong north Italian kingdom. Besides these, four battle pieces celebrating the encounters of Curtatone in 1848, Palestro, Magenta, and San Martino, and four more, quadridi costume, characteristic pieces repre senting different episodes of the late war, and six portraits of illustrious Italians, deceased within the last ten years, and well deserving of the country as promoting by their writings the triumph of the na tional cause. These are Vincenzo Giobertin, Cesare Balbo, Carlo Troya, Giovanni Berchet, Silvio Pel lico, and Giuseppe Giusti. The engravers will have to execute portraits of Victor Emmanuel and of the poet Gio-Battista Niccolini. These two works are severally allotted to Professors Gustavo Bonaini and Filippo Levi. The engraving of all the statues and pictures above mentioned, as well as the works themselves will be assigned by free competition to such artists as may apply for them. May be I am a Goth, but I cannot dissemble my opinion that the Tuscan and other Central Italian Governments might be better employed, and might lavish public money on objects more immediately connected with what ought to be the sole business of the country. The Italians have had fiddling and dancing and stone-cutting enough. Art and litera ture are at the lowest ebb in Italy, and will be until the country rises to anew existence. I hear of deputations making merry at patriotic feasts at Milan and Turin—loudly declaring that " Italy is made." I wish their inner conviction were as firm as their words arc cheerful and brae, and should like their faith to be borne out by corresponding deeds. A perpetual holiday is now being kept throughout every city for a success which, to cool men, seems yet tolerably doubtful. I think, until the Italians know the decision of either a meeting between the two Emperors at Biarritz or Com piegne, or of a Congress at Brussels, as to their ul timate fate, or until they are strong enough to make out their destinies against all Emperors and all Congresses, it behoves them rather to go into mourning than to waste their days in idle feasting and empty vociferation. Fanti's army is far indeed as yet from numbering the 50,000 or 60,000 men to which that brave General wished to have it raised, and it is further still from being armed and equipped so as to give it the best possible efficiency. The bronze of these Tuscan statues were best cast into cannon, and young artists would do well to forsake their barren easels for a season's campaign on the Po or the Rubicon. There will be time enough for genial banquets and stately monuments. The memory of great men may be kept green even though years may pass over their unhonoured graves. Dante was no less Dante in spite of the long neglect of " ungrateful Florence ;" and the Tuscans may be in as great a hurry in a few months to pull down the Emperor Napoleon's statues as they are now eager to rear them. " Lauda finenz" should be the motto. The French Emperor will not give up his designs, whatever they may be, for any servility the Italians may evince in doing him honour. They should leave to old women the thought of pro pitiating the powers of evil by lighting farthing candles to the Arch-fiend: Napoleon can see their terror through their fulsome homage. It were well for them to be silent and dignified, if they are not active—to trust God and their own valour, and let diplomacy do its worst. Their cause is clear, indisputable, and holy. Nothing can be gained by discussion, nothing by straining every sentence in the Moniteur or the Coz•zstittitionnel so as to con strue it, in spite of its plainest meaning, accord ing to their own heart. Tney should make a bon fire of foreign newspapers and of their own besides. They should muster up in arms, as many as are able to bear arms. They will never read a page in the book of diplomacy in which they will not find the establishment of the principle that " might is right." They are now 12,000,000 of united people and might can be on their side, Let them only sent forth 200,000 combatants. PUBLIC DINNER TO WILLIAM DIGBY SEYMOUR, ESQ., M.P. On Thursday evening last Mr. William Digby Seymour, one of the members for the borough of Southampton, was invited by his friends to a pub lic dinner at Pratt's Riding School, Bedford-place. The room had been decorated under the superin tendence of Mr. Josiah Pun tis, a silk banner being placed on the wall over the principal table, on which were the words "Presented to William Digby Seymour, Esq., by the Ladies of Sunderland, July, 1852 ;" " Seymour and the Independence of Sun derland;" and in the corners the words " Reform," " Retrenchment," Peace," and " Progress ;" the centre being occupied by Mr. Seymour's family coat of arms. On the opposite side was exhi bited Mr. Seymour's crest, and inscriptions show ing the state of the poll at the last election for Southampton. At the north end of the room was a banner bearing - the inscription, " Digby Seymour and the Triumph of Liberty," interspersed with English, French, American, and Turkish colours. A little higher up was " Welcome to our Guests and Honour to our Member," supported by English and American standards, and garlands of flowers and laurels. In the centre waved the Royal Standard and Union Jack, with the French and ,Sardinian colours, and over the entrance flags of all nations were displayed. In one part of the room was placed the inscription, "The Independence of the People, not the Despotism of Faction." The dinner, tc&-which admission was by half crown tickets, was served by Mr. Parker, Above Bar, and it appeared to us that about 600 partook of it ; but one of the Committee of Management stated that there were 756. Mr. Farrant, of the Coachmakers' Arms, suppliedthe wines and liquors, and gave ample satisfaction. A gallery had been erected, and was devoted to the accommodation of the ladies, and an excellent band, under the superintendence of Mr. W. Purkis, was in attendance. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by Dr. Dusautoy, who was supported on his right by Mr. Seymour, and on his left by the well-known Pro tectionist, Mr. George Frederick Young. With the exception of a Mr. Hudson, a friend of Mr. Seymour's, all the gentlemen on the platform live in Southampton; viz., the Rev. S. M. Innes, Messrs. J. J. Bennett, H. Abraham, Arthur and Albin Andrews, Jas. Cocks, J. Tucker, Algeo, and IL Clarke. The cloth having been cleared, The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. J. W. Whalley, M.P. for Peterborough, who regretted that he could not leave home to attend the dinner, but said he felt it to be his duty to bear his testi mony to the public character of Mr. Seymour, than whom he believed there was not in the House of Commons a more fearless or independent advocate of public interests, or one more worthy of the great interests committed to his charge. (Cheers.) He also read a letter from the Rev. It. Mount. Mr. SEYMOUR. next read letters of apology :from Rear-Admiral Lord George Paulett, who was suffer ing from illness; Lord Ashley, who said, "I shall be glad to come, if I can manage it ;" Mr. Edwin James, who was in Norfolk, grouse shooting; Mr. Collier, M.P., who said he would be glad, for many reasons, if he had been enabled to be present ; and Mr. Z. C. Pearson, the Sheriff and Mayor elect of Hull, who thought Southampton honoured and favoured by having such a representative as Mr. Seymour, who would be the right man as leader of the shipping interests. The CHAIRMAN then gave the toasts of " The Queen," " The Prince Consort and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy," to the latter of which Lieut. MORICE, R.N., responded. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Clergy and Ministers of a!l Denominations," to which the Rev. S. M. INNES responded, who said he felt proud of the Church, and he felt honoured in being a mini ster of the Church. The Church was, he believed, the greatest ornament in our land, and the greatest bulwark of this highly-favoured country. At the same time he was not ignorant of its many imper fections—(cheers)=--and the many obligations they were under to their worthy, respected, and highly esteemed Dissenting brethren. 113 trusted the day was rapidly coming when bigotry would be swept away, when charity would be extended to all sects, and when the right hand of fellowship, friendship, and Christian feeling would be found prevailing amongst all. He trusted that the day was draw ing nigh when the right men would be found in the right place, and the right places be found for the right men ; that our hard working but poor clergy would be amply, sufficiently, and con sistently remunerated; that talent would be ap preciated and rewarded as it ought to be; and that the great sinecures of the Church would become the just and rifeitful property of fading genius, and not the heirlooms of youthful impotency —(cheers). He looked to Mr. Seymour, as the son of a clergyman, to help to supply those wants the Church required, and, if they were not withheld, the Church of England wou ld become the great glory of the land, and the land would be as it ought to be— " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, And first gem of the seal (Hearty cheering.) - - - The - CHAIR - MAN . said the next toast he had to propose was the toast of the evening—the object for which they had assembled together. He should never forget his first interview with the hon. mem ber for Southampton. When he first saw him he was deeply impressed with the idea that in his noble constitution were all the elements of one of the most able and efficient candidates for the repre sentation of the town that ever solicited the votes of any Liberal constituency, and, if he entertained any opinion of that kind on that occasion, he could only say that all his votes and all his acts since he had been the representative of Southampton had still further confirmed the opinion which he first entertained of him. When he introduced him in that place to an assemblage of 2,000 people, the majority of whom were ehetors, they entertained the same opinion, and they showed their inde pendence and their freedom from all tyranny and oppression by electing him by a very large ma jority as their representative in the House of Com mons. He believed it to be one of the greatest moral victories ever gained in the town of South ampton. Not a single reasonable objection was made to him when a candidate for their suffrages in Parliament. He believed that one or two frivo lous objections h2d subsequently been made to him --objections which were really not worthy of ono moment's consideration, inasmuch as private mat ters never ought to be brought up against any man when seeking a public duty. (Hear.) They should look at his capacity, and whether he was a man capable of representing them in Parliament; they should look at his political senti ments, and not go into any unsuccessful pri vate speculation, wkich he did say cast the greatest possible reflection on the opposition on that occa sion. He really did not think it worth while to enter into the matter, and he hoped and trusted that the member for Southampton would consider it beneath his notice to take any cognisance of it, for he thought it mean and contemptible that any such attempt should be made to damage a man's character. Then it was said that Mr. Seymour was not a wealthy man, but, though his pockets were not filled with gold, he was bountifully supplied with nature's richest gifts, and they would have the benefit of his splendid talents, and his strong and powerful advocacy, whenever their interests were attacked in the House of Commons (cheers). Though Mr. Seymour was not rich, yet he (the chairman) did not despise a wealthy man, for it was to the enterprising conduct of men who embarked their capital in great commercial undertakings that Southampton was indebted for the splendid pieces of naval architecture which adorned her waters. But all this wealth, and all these vessels, would be of no use if there were not found the artisans of Southampton to man them, in order that they may be rendered eiliaieut for service. Now, if they were united in these matters, not only with regard f to the shipping interest, but the representation of the town—for he believed that the representation . they h n o i s u e s i t s iiguh would return Mr. Seymour and some on s strength that _o f t t li h e e y t town owasnl only entirely i r n t hand insov o e f s , h e e t i t - enl a sa r e t ,tsvhai they would h him.

They knew that in the legal profession meritorious conduct had always been rewarded, and ever would be, and per haps it was the only service in this country where merit, and merit alone, gained the reward to which its members were so justly entitled, and it would be the brightest day in his existence to see their worthy friend, Mr. Seymour, occupying the dis tinguished position of Lord Chancellor or England. (Laughter, and cheers.) He did think that he was justly entitled to that position, for the talent which he had exhibited was, if possible, far more brilliant than even the diamonds sparkling in the coronet which he hoped some day to see gracefully adorn ing his intelligent brow. (Laughter, and cheers.) Without further observations, he begged to pro pose the health of Mr. Seymour, the Member for Southampton. (Loud cheers.) Mr. SEYMOUR., M.P., having been greeted with several rounds of cheering, said that that hall was dear to him from the memory of the past, and doubly dear from the outspoken and generous en thusiasm of the present. It was only the other day when he stood for the first time in Southampton, and for the first time in that hall, and, whatever be his future fate or career, whether short or long be his connection with this great town and rising port, he would say to them, and perhaps also to himself, let their first acquaintance never be forgot. Let men, when his back was turned, condemn or criticise him as maliciously as they pleased—let men point the envenomed dart of secret slander to overthrow his private reputation as they pleased —they would not, at all events, deny that in, his intercourse with Southampton, he took the position, and assumed the attitude of a free-minded Liberal fellow•citizen. He might have come there with some introductions. He might have come there ac credited by names which would have been great passports to their affections, but, feeling how in finitely humble he was, and how great was the ob ject of his ambition—lie thought his better plan would be to come down and speak to them as a man, to discourse to them on subjects which lifted all men to a higher and purer sphere, and then to ask them, not on paltry antecedents, not on personal repre sentations or introductions, from whatever quarter they came, but upon the profession of upright, clearly announced, manly, Liberal opinions to ask them for their support. It was said that, at that time, when he offered himself as a candidate for their representation, he was sailing under false colours—(hear, and no)—but he knew all the time that he had bright and glorious colours, which, if he chose to unfold them, would give the lie to his ac cusers. (Cheers.) The very first political speech he ever made in his life was as a candidate for the representation of Sunderland, and he stood for that representation an avowed, outspoken, and declared Liberal of advanced views. The ladies of Sunder land—God bless them—gave him, to cheer him in a battle which was, he assured them, a severe, a toilsome, and a hard struggle, the banner they saw above him, and he asked them to put, on the cor ners, the four points of a Radical's creed, Reform, Retrenchment, Peace, and Progress. Reform was not advocated by tha men who were brought up in the lap of Toryism or Conservatism, and what meant Retrenchment, but that financial reform which, under the auspices of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, was likely to win its way from one end of the land to the other? What meant Peace, but that, consistently with the maintenance of our mili tary strength, a proper regard should be paid to economy in our national expenditure ; and what meant progress, but the combination of all, the acme, and the favoured word of men eetermined to go•forward, and forward with the people. Those were his sentiments in 1852, and he frankly avowed them when he came amongst them at Southamp ton, for he was not the man to shrink from the ex pression of his opinions, and if any one had mis understood him, it was not his fault, but theirs. Having then alluded to this circumstance, and called attention to a fact which he hoped never would be forgotten in their future intercourse, he preferred building up, from the very foundation, nis friendship and acquaintance with them. He was determined that there should be nothing false about it, but that it should spring from the basis of all love and affection among mankind, -mutual respect and confidence one with the other. It was in that spirit he came amongst them, it was in that spirit that he made their acquaintance, and actuated by that spirit he asked to be, any to continue, their representative, and when he became forgetful and unworthy of that spirit, then was the time that Southampton should become forgetful of him. They returned him to Parliament an avowed Liberal, and he asked, was there any doubt about it ? He ap pealed to those whom he addressed in that hall, and in the various meetings which he held in the town, whether they ever heard froin him an ut• terance of two opinions, the one contrasting with the other, but whether they wen not all, from first to last, clear enuneiations of a Liberal faith ? As there was nothing like facing things at once, he would come to the only charge which he would condescend to answer, and would act upon the ad vice of the chairman. He would live to see those —and, let them mark, he had made the prophecy— who had stabbed him in the dark regret the course they had taken. He was content to leave his character to the simple test that it had stood for years the watchful rivalry of the most jealous profession in the world, and let people say what they may, he had never been considered for one moment unworthy to administer, in the Queen's name, justice to her subjects. Hef would leave it to this test also. Let any man who chose to engage in these paltry assaults upon him, only single out in his own neighbourhood an honest, charitable friend, and ask him what he thought of the mode he was taking to spoil him in their affec. Lions, and leave it to his judgment and his learning, and he thought he would be ashamed of himself. There was only one class of detractor he feared— and there were some of them in the town—who, with plausible exterior and professed lit erality, at the same time dealt in secret attempts to undermine his character and his reputation (shame). The only charge which he said he would reply to he would undertake to answer to the satisfaction of every honest Conservative or Derbyite in Southampton. The charge was that he had gone into the House of Commons, having received a certain amount of Con servative sympathy and support, and that he ob tained that support by declaring that he would not give a factious opposition to the Government of Lord Derby. To begin with the matter at the first stage, what did they mean by factious opposition ? Each man, by his own conscience, must answer that question. If he was called upon, as he had been, to answer it, he would answer it thus—that that man 'Was a factious man who, in voting for any minister or for any party, was guided by respect for the man, and not for the measure with which he was connected. When, therefore, he was asked in Southampton whether, in the event of a vote of - want of confidence in Lord Derby being proposed, what course he would take, his answer was that, on that principle, he should certainly give him no factious opposition. When Parliament met, it was found that the outspoken sentiments of the country, from one end of the kingdom to the other, were in favour of Reform ; the whole voice of the nation was for it, and the time had conic when something clear and decisive must be done by the Legislature. What would his conduct have been if he had been prepared blindly to con nect himself with the party opposed to Lord Derby . Would he not have joined clubs and associations, and attended meetings in rooms and public places, where parties assembled for the purpose of com binings and taking measures together to ensure overthrow ? It would havebeen his natural course if there had been any truth in the accusation, but he took no such course. He left himself open to ob servation on the part of the Liberal friends with whom he had fought and acted in previous Parlia ments, and he refused to go to the meeting at Willis's rooms, which was attended, he believed, by every Liberal member of sound health and limb in London that day, himself only excepted. He did refuse, because he told the people of Southampton he would give no factious vote against Lord Derby, and he was determined that by no act of his Should any suspicion be cast upon hint as to the course he was going to take. Then came his vote on the ad dress, which had been considerably animadverted upon, and he did not complain of it, because he thought that the public conduct of a public man was a fair subject for criticism, and ho was too fond of liberty himself to complain of others exercising it. It was made a charge against him that he had spoken in that debate in favour of Lord Derby's ministry, and yet_ that he had voted distinctly against the speech he had previously given. Those who said so said what was without a shadow of foundation. Ho held in his hand a book for which he invested three guineas that morning, for he was determined for the sake of that expenditure, that he would not be without a fountain source to which he could ap peal. He held in his hand Hansard's reports of the debates in the last session, and no one would deny that this was the highest court of appeal, and to this every man turned, either in the House or out of it, to know the utterances of the members. (Hear, hear.) lb hAd seen seyeral independent PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD• members, who were similarly circumstanced to himself, particularly one who now sat for a port with which he, perhaps, at one time or another, lied an intimate connection. He had a conversation with him, and told him distinctly, and he told others, that if he could receive a satisfactory assur ance from the Government of Lord Derby of such ti measure of Reform as he thought they would them selves feel called for by the united voice of the country, and their own professions on the hustings, he should be prepared to vote with her Majesty's Ministers. Ho took a course that met with the ap probation of several of the best and most expe rienced well-known Liberals, believing it was put ting to a fair test the liberality of sentiment and, opinion which they heard from the hustings in the country. He went down to the house when the de bate commenced, and : - watched closely what was said by the mover and seconder of the address, and by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he found nowhere the condition he was led to anticipate. He went to some of those prepared to take the same course as himself, And found the same feeling of disappointment, and one especially said that he was deceived in his expectations, and saw no course open to him but that of voting against Ministers. He (Mr. Seymour) said that he could not give a silent vote, and should vote with Ministers, unless he could get a distinct declaration of opinion fiom the Opposition, which would make it a question of principle, and justify his giving a vote against Lord Derby. He accordingly rose, his speech occu pying three columns of Hansard, but a very small portion of their local press. (Hear.) Having read extracts from the speech, the substance of which was published at the time in the Independent, he asked them whether there was one word ofit incon sistent with the position he took in Southampton? (No and yes). He had read to them a letter from Mr. Collier, the member for Plymouth, who said that for many reasons he would have been glad to have been with them. What were the many rea sons ? They were these. He had the pleasure of enjoying the esteem, and he lived, the friend ship of that independent Liberal, and talented representative, a gentleman they all knew and respected, who belonged to this circuit, and was one of the most rising men of the day. He suf fered on that night an agony of care, and would not for all the world again experience the pain and anxiety he felt whilst he was debating what course he ought to take in the peculiar position in which he was placed. He told Mr. Collier that, although a Liberal, as he knew, although be had sat with him for three years, and they had worked together like brethren, and he knew in his heart the sentiments by which he was actuated, he could not, and would not, with an honest conscience, walk into the same lobby with Lord Palmerston or Lord John Russell, unless he had some distinct avowal from them, which had been denied to him from the other side, of a declared line of Reform policy. Mr. Collier communicated with Lord John Russell per sonally, and authoritatively brought him more than one explanation of the public course h e m i g ht ex pect to be taken by her Majesty' s oppos iti on , if they came into power. Mr. Collier w as no t th ere , an d he was not going to invade the delicate ground of what was private and confidential, and what was not, but he contented himself with a reference to Mr. Col lier, and setting him before all England as a ma n who would vinicate him before any people and any tribunal as having been actuated by the most honest sentiments in the course he took. Though many of the Conservatives of Southampton had supported him—and he met amongst them those who, like Capt. Strutt, were among the finest spe cimens of liberal and generous-hearted men--he could not act without experiencing a great deal of anxiety as to the course he should take. The morn ing came, and he was determined to go still fur ther, and to satisfy his own mind that, if he gave a vote, it should be a vote consistent with his political principles, and a vote which nothing but prejudice and personal antipathy and dislike could construe into a departure from the pledges he had given. Ile accordingly wrote a letter to Sir Wm. Hayter, and as he considered there ought to be no privacy between a member and his constituents on so vital a question in the history of his country, they were entitled, unless the express seal of privacy was stamped upon it, to know what were the guiding motives•and conduct by which he was actuated. Some people said he had sold his vote, but let them sly whether this correspondence indicated any thing of the kind : [Copy.] " 2, Doctor Johnson's Buildings, Temple, _ _ Friday Morniiik; Juno 4 lo, 1859. "Dear Sir William Hayter,—At a crisis like this you will not be offended by me urging the incalculable impor tance of a broad declaration as to the future policy being made by Lord John Russell.

G. ITANTEa. "W. Digby Seymour, Esq., M.P." —This was not the conduct of a man stealing votes from Conservatives, and rushing blindly to give a vote to put Lord Derby out. He asked them whether it was not rather the conduct of a man overawed by the solemnity of his trust, and who felt that in such a moment he had upon him the ac mulated responsibility of all the intelligence, the energy, the labour, the capital, the wealth, and. the present and future of a town like Southampton. He put it to any man who was unprejudiced by personal hostility, whether his speech in the house, and his correspondence out of the house, did not prove that, at least, he was a member who felt the position he was placed in, and that he had to give a vote, which, if a mistaken one, was at least an honest one. He was actuated by no feeling but a determination to do his duty, and just as Lord John Russell rose, he went into the House of Commons on purpose to be there when he spoke; to see whether he could take up his challenge, and to show them that the member for Southampton was not afraid to take his proper position, he sat on the seat directly next to him. Whilst there a gen tleman—a member of the House—came up to him, and told him that there was a gentleman outside from Southampton who was particularly anxious to see him from some very pressing reason. There was something magical in the very idea of a consti tuent coming up to ace him, for who knew but that his better angel had sent some kind spirit to whis per in his ear, and guide him through the shoals and perils by which he was surrounded. He gave up his place, determined to hurry back, and hoping to be back in time, and he went into the lobby, and whom did he confront there but the clever,amiable, and gifted editor and proprietor of the Hampshire Advertiser. (Laughter and cheers.) What passed between him and Mr. Collier he had treated as a secret, and what passed between him and Mr. Coupland he would also treat as a secret; but there was nothing that passed, con.sidcring the peculiar attitude and position of Mr. Couplaud, which did him any discredit as a man of honour and a gentle man, nor had he y e t, i n any o f hi s pr i vate or pub lic acts, shown himself unworthy of that compli ment, even from an opponent. But, at the same time, it kept him out of the house whilst Lord John Russell was speaking, and when he returned Lord John Russell was just concluding. He appealed to Mr. Collier to know if Lord John had kept faith with him, and he said he had •, he had given him, he thought, a pledge sufficient to justify aay real honest-minded man. He asked him for par ticulars, and received an explanation which satisfied him that his vote should be given to the opposition. ' He read extracts from the speech of Lord J. Russell, who, he declared, had given him the pledge he re quired, and with the assurances of other friends, in the absence of any defined pledge on the other side, and in face of the fact that the whole Liberal party accepted the issue as a fair trial on a•great question of public policy, he thought it his duty, in his place in Parliament, to give his first vote as an honest, and not a factious, Liberal, in assisting Lord John Russell to assume the place he now holds in her Majesty's Government. (Cheers.) Mr. Seymour then reiterated his views in reference to the alleged grievances of the shipping interest, introducing to them Mr. G. F. Young, as the fearless champion of that interest. Differing from him in political opi nions, Mr. Young was there as his friend, and it was a happy omen of the times when a man in his AN ELOQUENT MISR BAKER. At the Cahereiveen. Petty Sessions, on Satur day last, an assault of rather a frivolous nature was brought before the bench. The case was adjourned for some time to wait the arrival of a witness named Murphy, a baker, for whom a policeman was despatched. The Munster News, reporting the case, gives Mr. Murphy's speech in full. The gentleman having made his appearance, jumped upon the table, and assuming a theatrial pose—with head thrown back, right arm extended., and left palm pressing the region of the heart—pro ceeded to deliver the following oration with %world of gesticulation and emphasis :—lt is with feelings of heartrending emotion I beg td thank your worship for the honourablejustice you have rendered in await ing my arrival here to•day. You, sir, were pre-emi nently aware that I, Mick Murphy, as a handicrafts man, or rather mechanical artist, engaged in the kneading, fabrication, and manufacture of a perish able commodity, videlicet, bread, ‘ the very staff of life itself, could not forsake, abandon, and give up business without detrimental consequences to my self, my employer, and the public at large ; and you therefore, moved by the preponderating powers of nature, have benevoiently suspended the ada mantine sword of justice until my appearance in this domicile of petty sessional strife and equity. Court—Of course, Mr. Murphy, I would do any thing to suit your convenience, and now that you are to be sworn I am sure you will be very care ful and tell us the whole truth about this affair. Mr. Murphy—Faith, your worship, of course I will —and who is it will stigmatise my feelings ? For I may inform your worship that there are certain pre-existing circumstances consistent with my powers, that shall be for ever buried in the depths of oblivion, and that it is as morally impossible to change Mick Murphy from his principles as to re move the oak tree from the forest and make it blos som in the depths of the ocean. For how does Pope Address me P— " Honour and shame, or between honour and shame there are no conditions rise," " Mick Murphy," he says, " act well your part and never stoop to lies." ft And what does my friend, Bob Burns, say ? " 'Fheiranic is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that." And here I shall terminate or conclude with the words of the Moorish poet Othello, to his gossip Hamlet Prince of Denmark ; " He who steals my purse steals trash; But ho who seizes my good name, _ . Takes that which bnys - no grog for him, And leaves me poor indeed." (Shouts of laughter.) Our oratorical friend—whose buns, we are grieved to remark, are not so weighty as his speeches, for which his employers, not he, are to blame—was sworn, and his testimony, and that of the defendant himself, clearly proving that no offence was intended to Mr. O'Brien, but that the occurrence was purely accidentnl, the case was dis missed. Mr. Murphy, after expressing his thanks to the Court in his usual brilliant style, and mak ing a most graceful and comprehensive bow, ac companied with a calisthenic scrape with foot, made his exit. the right CONVICT LABOUR TURNED TO ACCOUNT.—We are informed that the admirable condition of the gunboats at Chatham dockyard, which it is proposed to send as part of the fleet to China, is entirely owing to convict labour. They have been thoroughly cleaned, scraped, and painted by a p ar ty of convicts, under the superintendence of a prison oflicer, and their condition has elicited the praise of all com tent judges, as they are now immediately available and in as serviceable a condition as when they were first raised on th e slipway, after the Russian war,—Civil Service Gazette, LORD =4-WOVE'? " AT HONE.' The elevation of Sir Benjamin Hall to the peer age under the title of Lord Llanover, after serving in Parliament for about 25 years as a member for Marylebene, has given great satisfaction to his neighbours, tenants, and dependents, who on Wed nesday last met at Llanover Court, his lordship's country residence, to congratulate him upon the event. There were deputations from places in Glamorgan sh ire and Monmouthshire, bedecked with all sorts of insignia after the old Cambrian fashion, and carrying symbols of their various callings. As the weather was decidedly unfortunate to any out door demonstrations, except with the certainty of a drenching, the interesting ceremony took place i n the splendid hall of the mansion, where Lord and Lady Llanover, supported by a distinguished party of friends, received their visitors in something like feudal pomp and state, and listened to the congra tulatory effusions which were delivered in the Eng lish and Welsh languages. Particular allusion was made to the warm patronage and support which the honoured pair have ever bestowed upon the Cambrian literature, music, and customs. Lord LLANOVER, in a lengthy reply, thanked the deputations, and reviewed his political career, which commenced in the Monmouthshire boroughs. He started in life with the fixed notion that the prsnciples of civil and religious liberty shouldbe carried out to the widest extent consistent with the safety of the empire. He was proud to be able to say that he had always been politically a consistent man, and it was very pletsing to him, on retiring from the office he formerly held—in which he had endea voured to correct all abuses—to receive the fcli ciations of those who were politically opposed to him. In his arduous official labours he had received great assistance from Lady Llanot•er. His Lordship alluded to the temperance movement, which he locally encourages to the widest extent, and which, he said, though made the subject of many a rude and idle jest, was productive of great present, and would be productive of great future, benefit. Many people thought the movement would not generally bucceed, but he pointed to the commencement of the reform and anti-corn law agitations, which lie had lived to see triumphant, though he remembered when their ad vocates were in a miserable minority. All his work men had embraced temperance voluntarily, and for several years his harvests had been got in without the consumpt ion of any strong drink. The money had been received by the workmen's wives, and spent in useful purposes, instead of being squandered in public-houses. He believed every good object must eventually succeed, if its advocates would only per severe. His lordship was loudly applauded. Lady LLANDOVER also addressed the company. Afterwards there was a bountiful dinner,tol; lowed by speech-making, and singing " EfnglaYmrenal in Welsh, to the accompanim b e i n c t Welsh harp, played by a " retainer" of the fami ly . sincere, for all which prevailed was unm is takeably booed, and the various teriti werntlusbiasarind, strong drinks were ta washed down by all sorts ot were meetsaveritaThe alcoholic drinks. a ~t t' B A-NK OF DEPO S I T.
