MONEY MARA - ET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts received from the manufacturing dis triets mention that during the past week there has been little change of importance in most branches of business. At Manchester, however, a slight im provement has been experienced in the demand for goods suitable to .the Indian and Chinese markets, and buyers have operated rather extensively. For the home and continental trade there has been little activity, prices showing no alteration. The woollen cloth trade at Leeds continued moderately active, the demand being chiefly for light goods. Stacks being rather low no alteration has taken place in prices. The worsted trade at Bradford has been exceedingly dull, and in some instances quotations have ruled in favour of buyers. Piece goods have been dealt in to a very limited extent, most of the shipping hobses de ferring their operations for the present. At Leicester there has been a fair amount of busi ness in the hosiery trade ; the sock and glove branches have been very busy, and upon the whole the operatives arc well employed. At Nottingham the lace trade has been very quiet, b.t a few orders for the United States have afforded some relief to the workpeople. Business at Birmingham has been very quiet, with the exception of the gun trade, and the iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown little improvement. At Sheffield, Wal sall, and Wolverhampton the favourable change in the weather has caused rather more activity in the demand for the home trade, and in hardware goods a slight improvement may be recorded. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and with some animation, and prices of all descriptions were without alteration. The sales were estinated at 10,000 bales. In the Railway . Share Market a fair amount of business was ti'ans- acted, and quotations tended upwards. Notwithstanding the preparations in progress for the settlements at the Stock Exchange, and the commercial bills due on the 4th of the month, there is little appreciable increase in the demand for money. The public are enabled to obtain all they require with unusual facility, because capitalists are only too glad to find profitable use for their accumulating resources. They therefore, accept lower rates, and thus it is that the Bank of England authorities are only securing a small quantity of paper, which is taken to them by a few of their regular customers. The temptation to go elsewhere is sl great that a rapid decline may be expected in the " other securities," unless some alteration is speedily made, although the advances on stock, which which will probably be announced on Thursday, will, no doubt, afford some extra employment for the means at their disposal. The English Stock Market opened with a very improved tendency, the Funds being y per cent. higher than at the close on Saturday, but this ad vance has not been fully maintained, although the quotations still retain some appearance of buoy ancy. Consols for money have been 921 93, and for account 921 93, but the present quo• tations are 924 y and 921 respectively. The Government broker did not make his appear ance to-day as a buyer for the Savings Banks. The New Threes have improved to 911 4, and the Reduced Annuities to 911 4. Bank Stock has re ceded to 220. Exchequer Bills are steady at 18s. to 225. prem. ; and India Debentures at 94. The New India Loan Scrip have advanced to 934, being I'4 discount. Foreign Securities are moderately active, and bargains have been reported in Turkish and Mexi can Bonds, at enhanced quotations. South Ameri can Loans have been quiet, but Peruvian 61- per Cents. have been dealt in at 82 to 831, and the 3 per Cents. at 64. Mexican Stock is marked 17 and 174 ; Buenos Ayres Deferred, 171 ; Venezuela, 371 ; and the Deferred, 161. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 661 67, and the New 55 56, but they arc now 654 664 and 541 551 respectively. The 6 per Cents. are 102. Business is recorded in Russian 41 per Cents. at 921 934, and in Sardinian at 78. The arrangements for the liquidation of the past monthly accounts are now in progress in the Railway Share Market, and prices in most instances are buoyant, some of the principal lines having improved - 1 to 1 per cent. North Western and Midland, have advanced bs. ; Caledonian, Great Western and North Eastern (York) 10s. • North British and South Eastern, los. ; and Eastern Counties and Great Northern, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been mode rately active. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares are steady at 51 51, and the New Shares at 5 to 51, and Dutch Rhenish brought 8. Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced to 33 and 34, and East Indian to 98 and 984. Ceylon Guaranteeed were firm at 6, and Eastern Bengals at 31. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are a shade firmer. London Chartered of Australia have improved 55., Union of Australia 55., and Bank of Egypt ss. Scottish Austrian Investment realise 1121.

Experienc e h as proved, first, that iteffects a considerable c ( 1, d its saving in the consumption of provender • in a remarkable e produces health and vigour in all originating degree an animsseseuj dly l , th eteo a ti tit inileance : and lastly, increases early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In ;hi e s he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng. lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its effcacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of food; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides Possessing the advantage of gre atl y invigorating the health and increasing the physical pow er of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of groat consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive ?rnns ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still More remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority- over every other kind of compound or menu fsetured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Ro yalty, noblemen , and others who have fed their ' cattle 011 Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal Erazes, whilst cards of commendation have nobility, the al been awarded. -uhe pat rona ge of Royalty, of our r clergy, and of our leading ag ricultur ists , must prove a great incitement to this gentleman to piunrsuperehdinser ward ?nurse ; and he may coclontly rely, aghlY-favoured a compound, ou a, continuo; producing so .• ola of s uc k h'gh and distinguished patronage.

EPSOM. Really people who are going to the races are great bores. They pester you with all manner of questions, until you are quite surprised at the stupidity or ingenuity that could have suggested them. Their minds are bent upon discovering what they term "stable secrets," and they seem firmly impressed with the idea that the race has been squared for one horse. Hence it is that I am bothered by people inquiring " Well, what's to do it ?" because they fancy that if any one knows a good thing the Fresh Man must know it. Poor deluded young people. The Fresh Man knows nothing more than he has been enabled to gather by his industry and derive from his sources of information. Without, therefore, pro fessing to see far into a mile-stone, I will place before the reader the "Notes" which I have been enabled to collect anent the coming Derby. In Saturday's edition of The Sun was published the result of the vaticinatory labours of the Derby pro phets—save the mark—and all persons must have been struck by the touching unanimity which pre vailed amongst the scribes of the sporting press. The favour which has been extended to Promised Land has been extraordinary, and I give myself credit for no little temerity in now entering my solemn protest against the horse, and in expressing my belief that he will before the start be superseded by Trumpeter. What has the " Land" accomplished to make him so formidable ? What are his antecedents ? Last year he beat North Lincoln, greatly to the surprise of his party, but he was afterwards easily defeated by the Baron's horse, who, by the way, has not this season proved himself to be the " flyer " which he was dubbed last year. True, Promised Land carried off the Two Thousand easily enough, but Cynricus, whom Trumpeter lost at Bath, was second to him. Now, if a comparison be drawn between the Land and Trumpeter, the favourite will be placed in a very disadvantageous position for even his most through thick-and•thin sup porters must acknowledge that, in point of approved merit, he is greatly inferior to Mr. Hill's horse. Of Musjid I entertain very few expectations. His solitary success last year does not prove him to be half a good horse, and I believe it is only the prestige which attaches to Sir Joseph Hawley's name that keeps him in a respectable position in the betting. lam informed that on Friday morn ing he was tried with Leamington ; certes he was tried with something, but the betting would in dicate that the trial was not so very satisfactory. The Days will be dangerous enough. In addition to Trumpeter and Marionette, whose wires are broken, and who cannot be worked any more, the Danebury stable has Actaeon in the race. A pre judice exists against this horse, because his achieve ments have been chiefly over short courses, and because he has evinced a great turn of speed. It is argued, therefore, that he cannot stay. His powers of endurance have not yet been fairly tested, and from the manner in which his owner has backed him for a place, we may conclude that Mr. F. Robinson has very few doubts about the horse's being enabled to get home. Than Actwon we know no more dangerous outsider, and John Day may repeat his achievement of 1854, when Andover ran first and Hermit third, and obtained the first and third places with Trumpeter and Actaeon. In the dubious slang of the ring, John Scott's le,' t might be put out with the washing. It see ms ragged in the extreme. From a glance whi c h I had of Gamester, I derived no favourable impres sion. The horse seemed to me to be small and useful for handicaps—nothing more. Phantom is a queerly-built animal, and I can't have him at any price, while Schuloff seems as if he bad been bit tened for a cattle show. Mr. I'Ansans has a nice colt in his white-faced, switch-tailed Balnamoon: When the horse is in motion, however, one is apt to lose his esteem for him, for he is at best a dirty goer. Still Mr. I'Anson is very fond, and calculates with confidence upon " Bals" getting a place, and is not _ . quite certain that he will not repeat the achieve- went of his half-sister, Blink B onn y - The one-eyed Glenbuck retairis his position in the market with much firmness, and they who have recently seen him at exercise declare that he is nearly a stone better than he was when he asto nished the natives by winning the City and Suburban Handicap. He appears too small for a Derby horse, but Is e must not forget what little Adamas was very nearly accomplishing. Electric I do not understand, and I am afraid is likely to occasion his backers a shock the reverse of pleasant. He has done wonders with TournanK li t it is said, and so has Newcastle for the m atter of that, but I place very s l en d er f a i th in - t 7cials. It is reported that Fordha m w ill ride iiewcastle, and that he is not altogether s' ,:tspleased with his mount. After the horse' s Handicap performance I cannot trust upon NecP' - -Ade, he will stand a very poor chance 'of i nim, and if Fordham be Nei` having his na me enrolled am ongs t th e ri .., ? ers of Derby w i nners . Hi g h wa y man l oo k s well, goes well, and will be ridden by J. Mann. His trial with Tunstall Maid entitles him to respect. His running at Bath and his wretched temper obtains for him contempt. Defender is quiet in the market, but sh,mld he go sound and well to the post he will tread very closely on the heels of Trumpeter. Enfield is a roarer, and Gaspard a duffer. Promised Land and Musjia have no attractions for me, and I shall therefore place my trust in TRUMPETER, GLENBUCK, and ACLEON ; reserving HIGHWAYMAN for a cockboat. At this early period in the week, it would be useless to enter into an elaborate discussion of the Oaks chances. Mayonaise is such a fine slashing mare, and possesses such undeniable speed, that she is entitled to the priority of consideration. Of the outsiders commend me to Wild Rose. The minor stakes at Epsom are lost under the cold shade of the two great coming events, and do not require notice from A FRESH MAN. EPSOM ON SUNDAY MORNING. Through the grey morning mist, which thickened more and more as we got into the open country.— past travel-stained tramps and cumbrous vans, and here and there a dog -cart or a gig, the occupants of which had evidently been making a night of it —through gates at which yawning pikemen appeared in their shirt-sleeves and sans boots—away we went on our annual excursion to Epsom. The old characteristics of the road were changed. Only one hostelry was open ; and, although the landlord of it declared that lie had been up all night, yet the bar and counter presented very little signs of busi ness. A dirty pack of cards and the fragments of tobacco pipes were the only, signs of the night of it which the revellers had made. The blinds of all the houses in Epsom were down when we arrived there, and the town seemed asleep. Only an erratic duck, that had wandered across the street, showed signs of life. The " King's Head" was closed—at least the house portion, but stablemen were busy in the yard, and a large fire in the kitchen showed that the working of roasting and boiling for the week had commenced. No inducement was, therefore, offered for loitering in the town, and soon after six o'clock we found ourselves on the Downs in the centre of gipsies, tramps, and touts. The landlord of the Rubbing House was, we were informed, blowing up like blazes, and this was the first piece of information which we received on reach ing the Downs. Afterwards we walked over the course, which glistened with its myriad gems of dew, and which was soft and elastic to the tread. Then we wended our way to the Six-mile Hill, and found ourselves in that peculiar predicament which is described as being up a tree. Neither to the right nor to the left, before IN or behind us, could we make out any distinct object at a hundred paces. The mist had thickened, and strange and fantastic shapes loomed through it, and as we approached them they seemed more distant and distant still. We wheeled about and turned about like Jim Crow. 'We listened for the sound of hammers to guide us, but we heard nothing except the mocking of the cuckoo. 'Alexander Selkirk, Robinson Crusoe, or the lady who was recently thrown on an uninha bited island, could not have felt more hopeless, deserted, and forlorn than we. At last a pile of buildings loomed through the driving mist, and we found ourselves, without knowing how we got there, frstiwonmoi rising ta f kn r hr front emergedtneabftfnr oiedg o me afeztetSwf. the hraieoets within haonloeui its ts, d ysui w' valleys, and ecaa l tn l mso o da oeuN,:rs hospitableoelni the hiNhnve l tdgi V onbma e oge gvsus i ai m pyna m t nhbetdeeod, graduallyfwi wo a prh t hee e o ee l immediately gh landscape, And makg -" in rise hi a showe r of the , and higher in the air, a nd send .. O Wn her song . hen the mist rolled away, strine horses . were seen approachine:,the course, but theyeonsist ed e - mostly of home trained platers. Reeves's awl - 1 , 1 1 lish's lot were the first to come under our no' ace, b ut as we did not expect a Derby winner to ',loam from them, we let them pass by unregarded. From our listless drowsy state, however, NM were soon aroused by real live Derby horses, al-id galloping together on the Six-mile Hill. (Ai*. Griffin, Ticket of-Leave, Gladiolus, and Napoleon. Ticket.of- Leave looked coarse and big, and his head and his tail seemed, as a tout, described them to us, close together. Napoleon went well enough, and seemed lighter and better than he was at Newmarket, but, to our thinking, Gladiolus could do anything with either of them. Amongst those that were out early —before the mist had become very dense —were Sedbury (ridden by William Boyce) and Gaspard. The latter is a small flashy goer, and is not likely to cause his owner more grief than occurred to the man in the burlesque, who cried because a, dog that was presented to him would cost hiin elghteenpence a week to keep, At Fr aom, Gaspard will not earn his hay and oOtli. J. IVATIU was putting lTi g hwaynian through his pekes. The horse wore blinkers, and looked re markably well. He galloped with a free sweeping stride, and, except for the evident roguishness with which he twisted his head about, he Would have deservedly attracted unqualified admiration. He was ridden in blinkers. His trial with Tunstall Maid, at 71b, ought to have made him run better at Bath, for very little mistake could have been made in that trial, seeing that Mann rode the Highwayman, and Aldcroft The Maid. Should the horse take it into his head to run on Wednesday, he may be much nearer the finish than many people imagine. We were told, on pretty good authority, that Crafton would not start. The mysterious Enfield was with Armstrong's lot on , the race course. Enfield is not likely t-, 2 occasion his opponent s muc h uneasiness. vow of the Epsomites have seen him gallop lately, and his " box of whistles" is 'sadly out of order. The secret of Enfield's retrogression in the market may be traced to the fact of his " making a noise." Baron Rothschild's lot attracted much attention. They went a rattling gallop, North Lincoln being in front at the finish. Brother to Sydney a great fine horse, but he evidently inheritsF: , m e of his brother's temper. Whilst we were kicking our her:is about the moist grass, we were informed the . : Balnamoon had just arrived, and that after he :lad taken his small feed of corn he would con out. We. tberefore, with many others, prolosged our stay on th e Sixe mile Hill, for the purs e of seeing him. At about half-past ten he made his appearance, in company with Hegira, and a general rush was made to look at him. He is a dark bay colt, standin€ , about " fifteen two or three", with somewhat drooping quarters, and a small swish-tail, of the shape of that of his celebrated half-sister, Blink Bonny. He has a white face, and his hind legs are white. /1' . 4 seems somewhat narrow-quartered, but this $3 , :, - iet disappears on being looked at from 'oehtid. He sweated on Friday, and was convev'ed to Loudon on Saturday. He stopped ther, last night, and reached Epsom, as we have stated, at about nine o'clock this morning. After taking one gentle canter, Hegira led him a pretty strong gallop, and he soon pull e d r i g h t , over. He watlis short, and gallops in a some:(hat puddling ; Scratc h y manner, but he tucke':L his h in d l egs well under him, so well, kicked, that he, seemed to us to bc in dart 9f hitting his fore-feet. So far as his oar.dition could go, he looked wonder fully fit, and Mr. I'Anson, who was with him, declared tkat he would beat all the northern horses, and fnat the only south country he had to fear i , Trumpeter ! We think Balnamoon a nice ho) _se—nothing more. At Leatherhead, Glenbuck was out between fire five and six. He is small, but seemed harder and more fit than he was when he won the City and Suburban. He did not appear to us, however,' to possess su ffi c i ent calibre for a Derby horse. John Scott's horses were on the exercise ground between eight and nine. All except Prelude, and some two year olds, took gentle ,canters. Gamester was the most fancied of the lot, for he looked and went well. Phantom seemed" three-cornered," and gave one the idea of a " miler," whilst Schuloff, a great big horse, appeared to be only half-trained. Heroine of Lucknew obtained several admirers. Many horses are expected this evening, but in all probability the favourites will not arrive until to morrow afternoon or Tuesday morning. Electric and several others were expected in t:iie course of to-day or to-morrow. The Findon horses will, it is supposed, wP.alc to Epsom from Kingston. People were chiefly mnusing themselves as to who would ride Promisf.p,t Land, and it seemed to be a moot point whet 7rer Alfred Day or William Day would be up. Mar y persons went so far as to say that William would have the mount. The rain, which set in SoOP.. after we left the town, will produce a most beneficial effect on the course, and there is every pro jec t of a meeting which will be as remarkable for the excellence of its sport as for its numeroun attendance.

What I • dow say is not merely addressed coun: .. to this table, but upon_ the wings of I may say, if will c° 3 llm g, l }l :ouse of Commons is ' about to enter on a crisis w-a• c 1 i has occupied the consideration of Eng land_ for centuries past. Europe is now in the midst e s. war, carried on against a Power which can do no injury to England, however it may injure other countries. We shall be called upon in this crisis, probably about the 7th of next month, to decide whether or not the English Parliament will put faith in the present Government, or flat which is looming in the future. And .vhat is looming in the future P It is that which I have seen d • uring my political life, now extending crier more than 26 years, viz., combined with the most violent profes sions of public policy, of regf'srd for the public in terest, the most intense consideration for private emolument, which is held out for us in exchange from the present Government ? (Loud cheers.) I know well the meanin g- of that cheer from my friend, who is '4 supporter of the present Government, and Who is glad of anything which may be said in t'neir support. But, here lam perfectly neutraL,'and I asked myself—What am I to do ? You hr.ve led me into this—l did not wish to speak to-night ; but you have led me into these matters. We have to choose upon the 7th of June whether we shall have Lord Palmerston or Lord Derby for Prima-, Minister. That is the question which the How. l e of Commons will have to decide. I see before, me the members for Galway and Merthyr Tr i dvil, who will be found in the Opposi tion camp when that decision is come to. And I, in what ',tamp shall Ibe ? I shall be in the camp of the Pecple of England, and that camp I sincerely believie to be opposed to Lord Palmerston. (Cheers and cries of Bravo !) Oh, there is• no " bravo" in it. (A laugh.) It is a miserable contingency - -it is like the war in Italy—whichever side is uppermost mischief must come. (Cheers and laughter.) What am Itodo ? lam a poor inde pendent member, and have to choose between one side or the other, and I say that the least mischief may come from not changing the Administration, and, what is more, I believe that we shall succeed in preventing that change. (Cheers.) I know that there has been a combination, I know that Cambridge-house has gone down to Pembroke lodge, and that the ladies have met. (A laugh.) I know that peace has been made, but England has been forgotten. The only consideration which is regarded is that of the parties themselves, but as an independent member my consideration is England, and for England's sake—l say for God's sake— don't choose Lord Palmerston. (Cheers,) I know well what I shall encounter by saying this. I know perfeetly well there is no party se admirable in the use of calumny as the Whig party, and everything that calumny can devise, or that lying can supply, will be adopted by that party. (Cheers.) 1 full well understand the case, and the words I am em ploying, and I believe that the result will be as I now predict, that the House of Commons will not change the present Administration against that hurrie3 compact which is now pretended to be made between Lord John Russell and Lord. Pal merston. (Cheers.) Lord. John Russell has in time past so far demeaned himself as to take advice from me, but upon the present occasion he has carefully abstained, from that course, and not one word have I heard either from him or his followers of the new compact made at Cambridge-house. I have found that Lord Palmerston is false and hollow, and that as to his being a Liberal what his own Solicitor-general, Mr. Stuart Wortley, said at the late West Riding election, when some person called him a Liberal, " Don't be too of sure that," applied to that noble lord. (A laugh.) I was sure of it at once. lam now dis possessed of that belief, and I am convinced that the great enemy of the Liberal party is now to be found in Lord Palmerston, and upon that ground I will oppose him. I have opposed him, and, God willing, we shall be successful. (Cheers.) Time will show, it runs apace, and the 7th of June will rapidly come, and then your friend and the member for Merthyr Tydvil will have an opportunity of showing what he thinks of Lord Palmerston. He will then be enabled to say whether he believes he is a Minister who will properly conduct the affairs of England to the interests of the country, and whether he believes the combination between him and Lord J. Russell is or is not a mere hollow truce, calcu lated to break up the power of England, and leave us to the mercy of European despotism. Think what would occur at the present moment. Europe is at war, hostilities are raging in Italy, and if at the present moment we get rid of Government altogether, and have an interregnum, without any power to govern or control this country, we should be answerable, not only to the people of England of. the present, but to coming generations, for every mischief that will follow. (Cheers.) My object is to vindicate what I believe will be the course of the House of Commons. I cannot believe that that house will so far forget its duty and forfeit its power over the people of England as to return ' into the councils for the Government of this coun try one so utterly inefficient as Lord Palmerston. I was told by very high authority, before I left London, that Lord John Russell and Lord Palmer ston had made up their differences, that Lord Palmer ston was to be Prime Minister, and that Lord John Russell was to serve under him. In the present condition of things I think that would be a great mischief. Lord Palmerston's appearance as First Minister of the Crown would be throughout the whole Continent a torch of war. (Cheers and cries of " Oh, oh.") War I object to, and I believe that England cannot gain by going to war with any Power on the Continent. Our great interest is peace. Let others tear themselves to pieces ; let France and Austria fight as long as they please ; but England to look on quietly if they wish to destroy themselves, and should only be opposed to any Power which may be thoroughly victorious. Suppose Austria was to be the conqueror, what would be the result ? Why, that Italy would ever be what she has been ever since the word began — at the feet of some other power. Look back either into ancient or modern Italy, and there w as not to be found the sign of any self-government in any part of that country. Arts no doubt flourished in t h e middle ages. Italy was great, and the wonderful intellect of her people made her great, and prevented united action and government. Take the other side of the picture. Suppose France victorious, what would you have ? You would have Frenchmen governing I know that Etruria, Romagna, Naples, and Savoy. Kossuth, who has but one idea, says that the vic tory of Austria would be injurious to the othernations of the world. But what have other nati ons done for the world compared with that which Eng- Engl . and is now at the very apex land has achieved ? torch - of civilisation —she is the of liberty. All that is great and liberal in the government of ma nkind has emanatedfrom England, and I cannot but think that the victory of France 'over Austria would, by being detrimental to the interests of England, be injurious to the best interests of the world. I know that Kos§uth with his wonderful aw ie n n at d f ao , tN lV: elr li aamga say irnig th hi a tn t . eloquence, and o t t:h tt e mht rf eean oth t oll i v s eebhr f o r• Timel am w h r a o s n g , s h b e n w N l m o y w ie p a l as s t t in u - r a l n il d 'e f e t t h h e e y join locality, i e mega:nfhorlifeh..e Ilm,e(cenahrefe3jsaas.sil sembled, and I say that the nav a o this coy .try the . ngland that which can alone preserveheyr the attacks of hostile Powers, ricceBsfil4 ty from upon her fleet.

He be was involved ,he establishment of these lines there For the so-, - a glo r i ous f uture for Milford Haven. China. • dtlierne portioa of America, for India, for port:,,INT• Af . Brazilian, Lisbon, and Portuguese Ord possessed great facilities 6 :e t• as a point of Par are. He felt proud at seeing himselfs urrounded by so many influe n ti a l gentlemen who had associated the mselves with him i n inaugurating this great Adertaking. The commencement of great enter prises was often very insignificant. In the case of the great Peninsular and Oriental Company, their first voyage was made by a vessel worth £4,000 or £5,000, which was chartered for the purpose, and if this company had but one small vessel to open up these lines they might look for a prosperous future ; for, in addition to the commerce which might flow into the port, the land in the immediate neighbourhood possessed in its bosom great stores of mineral wealth which, owing tq the apathy of the people of South Wales, had not yet been developed. While engaged in the establishment of the Galway Line he felt the great importance which existed of rapid, frequent, and punctual steam routes, combined at the same time with those which possessed the element of safety. (Cheers.) Milford Haven was a port which, in the present European ‘crisis, could command the whole of the British Channel, and world afford a safe anchorage for the whole of the British nay. In a co mmerc i a l po i nt of view the harbour - `also possessed many great advantages. To shorten the time between Milford and Galway- was a matter of no small importance. The last ship that sailed from the port of Galway carried away 643 passengers. This was a number wholly unprecedented for any one steam ship to carry for so long a distance. There was nothing to show why they could not fill two ships a week from the port of Galway. He knew it had been put forth that they could not land a single passen ger at Galway, that there was no safe anchorage, and other matters, which they had proved to the world was all nonsense, and the charges brought against the port were nothing but calumnies of the blackest character. He had no wish whatever to elevate the position of Galway at the' expense of any other port. There was abundance of room fpr all enterprises calculated to promote the commerce and elevate the condition of the working classes of this great empire. (Cheers.) It could not be questioned that the port of Milford possessed great advantages as compared with Southampton, not the least of which were its s ecur ity an d the cheapness and facility for coaling the s t eamers. I n the case of ships laden with gold going to Southampton, they had Cherbourg starinc , them in the face, but they could run into Ililfo;c1 without any necessity for incurring the risks of the Channel. The great steam ship companies, too, would know and appreciate the advantages of buying coals at 10s. or lls. per ton in this port, instead of paying twi :e that sum at South ampton, and being broken up, as theynow were, by the transhipment to which they were subjected. He was glad to be in a position to announce that so far as the trade of Cork was concerned, arrange ments had been made for commencing at once with a daily line of steamers between Milford and that city. (Cheers.) He looked upon the develop ment of trade and commerce as most important to the best interests of the working classes. He was no politician, tend was an unpractised speaker; his politics were commerce. He entered the House of Commons as the representative of commerce, and by the help of God he intended to do his duty in the position in which he was placed. The hon. member concluded by proposing the toast, coupling with it the health of Mr. William Owen, the high sheriff of the county of Pembroke. The toast was drunk with loud and repeated cheers. - Mr. HOLME, Mayor of Pembroke, proposed The Directors of the South Wales Railway and the Great Western Railway Company." Mr. BRUCE, M.P., in responding to the toast. took occasion to state that as the cost of the docks at Pennar, to which reference had been made, would be not less than £300,000, afforded a reason for inducing the company to pause before incur ring that expenditure. There had existed great un certainty as to when the terminus of the line would be required to be made, and it would have been extremely imprudent, without some immediate prospect of return, to embark a large capital in such an undertaking. He was glad, however, now to be in a position to state that the directors of the South Wales _Company had taken, if not a positive, at least a pfeliminary resolution, with respect to the policy of when the docks should be made. (Cheers.) It was hardly necessary to state that, in the opinion of the directors the success of the South Wales Railway depended upon the development of the line west of Swansea. (Cheers.) He saw no rea son whatever why Milford Haven should not be a great port, and great advantages would result to the manufacturers and employers of labour in South Wales if a mere extensive communication existed between Ireland and that port. He was himself an employer of about 7,000 men, many of whom were Irishmen, and a great portion of whose provisions and articles of consumption might be beneficially obtained from Ireland. (Cheers.) Mr. Roebuck, who was well known to be a true son of Ishmael, whose hand was against every body's—(a laugh)—had made some remarks of a personal nature respecting him, and to some he felt it necessary to refer. Like Mr. Roebuck, he could not look with satisfaction at the success of either France or Austria in the present conflict on the Continent. (Cheers.) That was not, however' the question which they would have to decide in the House of- Commons. That question would be whether or not the present Ministers were entitled to the confidence of the country ? That was the issue upon which Lord Derby and his Ministers went to the country, and that was the one which the new House of Commons would have to decide. He had always considered that though Lord Palmerston had many qualities worthy of consideration, yet that his foreign policy was always dangerous and intermeddling, and in the treatment of small States it was not unfrequently unworthy and pusillanimous. Not that he thought Lord Palmerston was wanting in courage, because he could not but recollect that he was ready enough to beard France in the Syrian affair in 1840. That Lord .Palmerston became Prime Minister was not simply owing to the affair of Pacifico, but to his overthrow of the Government of Lord Aberdeen ; and Mr. Roebuck had more to do with putting Lord Palmerston at the head of the Government than and upon that occasi on h e voted Roebuck. He was n o t a bli n d anybodywith Mr. else,Roe admirer of Lord Palmerston. He believed him to be deficient of that one quality to which he (Mr. Bruce) attached the greatest importance, viz., earnestness and sincerity of motive, and he would only be found among the fol lowers of that noble lord when he found that the course which he proposed was one which the country ought to pursue. (Cheers.) He did not believe that the Government about to be formed would be that of Lord Palmerston, and thought that he would occupy a subordinate place in the Cabinet.. Lord Lord Palmerston had, to a great extent by his own public men was frequently Palmerston.

Mr . with respect to the proper course Roebuck and himself were arrayed upon different t v r e abl i e n sides, but he trusted the company present would a tr n i d ca c te o , n a si n d d era it tion fte to n give t h em both credit for acting as hone s t an d independent men. (Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK, in explanation, said that he was glad to find that, at least so far as the question of having Lord Palmerston at the head of the Govern ment was concerned, there was identity of opinion between his honourable friend and himself. Several other toasts were proposed, and the meet ing broke up. It is reported that M. Benedetti, Director of the Political Department in the French Foreign-office, hat 3 been appointed to an extraordinary mission to the German. Con federation. HAIR -BREADTH ESCAPE.—AN AMERICAN SVORY.: —A workman in the employ of Mr. R. B. Lawi on, of Hudson, on Saturday, had a remarkable escape. ?He lay down upon the track of the Hudson River Railway, using the rail for a pillow. The spot selected for his comb was very near the place where Rafferty was killed a day or tyro previous. When the night express passed up t h e r attling of the ears and th e b e ll ow ing of the locomotiv o iiled to awaken him, and as the train whizzed past it .cut off his hair close to the scalp.
