r 113 E NA VY. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam vessel Rhada man thus, expected at Woolwich on Friday last, arrived yesterday morning (Sunday), from Ply mouth. Her detention was ordered by the autho rities for the shipment of victualling stores, and likewise for the purpose of embarking the furniture and effects of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle on his retiring from the command of the fleet and his removal to London. The new strew steam-sloop Cameleon having per ' formed a satisfactory trial of her machinery at the measured mile, was on Saturday admitted into the steam reserve in Woolwich basin. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Driver, having un dergone a total renovation, is expected shortly to be recommissioned for the coast of Africa. The sixth of the new class schooner gunboats, named the Cockatrice, built at Deptford, was on Saturday received into basin at Woolwich to be brought forward for commission. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. W. Mist, to be Flag- Lieut. to Rear-Admiral R. F. Stopford, for tempo rary service ; H. W. Inglis, master, to the Mersey ; John E. Douglas, nate, to the Forte ; D. J. Dugan, surgeon, to the Mersey; Wm. Robson Henry and Wm.

As some misunderstanding has arisen at Wool wich with reference to the duties required of the Deputy Inspector -General of the Royal Artillery Infirmary, and his position on the Staff, Major- General Richa r d D acres , K.C . 8., comma nding at 4. Woolwich, ha s i ssue d a garr i son or d er , desiring i . . 'to be clearly unde rs t oo d th a t the position of the Deputy Inspector-General is precisely the same as that laid down at page 42 in the code of " Medical Regulations" for principal medical officers in a gene ral hospital. On Friday, Col. the Hon. A. Gordon visited the camp at Colchester for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements before taking the command of the garrison in succession to Major-General - Wood. Col. Gordon is expected to enter on his new duties on the Ist of November. Ensign Walsh, of the 44th, is about to proceed to Languard Fort, Harwich, to relieve Ensign Michell of the 66th, who will return to the camp. Lieut. Freeborn, of the Ist Foot, will also shortly proceed to Harwich to take the command of the detachment of the 9th battalion stationed there. Lieut.-General Sir J. F. Love, Inspector-General of Infantry, has decided that officers shall take their leave of absence, and non - commissioned officers and men re ceive their furloughs from the Ist of November without waiting for his annual inspection. The following officers have been granted leave of ab sence to the end of the year :—Capt. R. Thomson and Lieut. Kilson, Ist Battalion, 6th Foot ; Ensign Holton, 37th Foot ; Brevet-Major Vance, 38th ; Ensign Overton, 44th; Capt. Eccles, Lieut. Gub bins7Ensigns Wood and Burnell, 56th ; and Ensign Addison, 66th. It appears from some correspondence read at the last meeting of the Great Yarmouth Town Council that the Government propose to take four acres of land for the proposed batteries at the mouth of that harbour. Accommodation is to be provided in con nexioi with the batteries for 100 men. THE VOLUNTEER 1(O VENENT, The 21st Middlesex (Civil Service Regiment), Hou. Col. H.R.fl. the Prince of Wales, Lieut.-Col. Viscount Bury, will proceed on Tuesday, Wednes day, and Thursday to Wimbledon for target prac tice, On Wednesday the Admiralty company will fire for the company's prizes, and the prizes for the Post-office companies will be shot for on Thursday, Nov. 15. Yesterday morning the members of the Ist Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers mustered to the number of 130 at their drill ground, Hawthorn-street, lilingsland, and marched, accompanied by their brass band, drums and fifes, under the command of Alajor Sherwood, their commandant, to West Hackney Church for Divine service. The sermon - was preached by the Rev. R. Chaffer, M.A., in aid of the National Society for Educating the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church. The rev, gentleman selected for his text the 72d Psalm, 13th verse—" He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy." The ser mon, however, bore no reference to the rifle volun teer movement, but simply advocated the claims of the society to public support. At its conclusion a collection was made. The Ist Tower Hamlets now number about 500 members, of whom between 200 and 300 are effectives, and considering the short time they have been organised, they are a highly efficient body of men. The greatest muster hitherto of the Workman's Volunteer Brigade, now numbering 1,100 men, took place on Saturday evening in the Guildhall, on which occasion the Colonel Commandant, Sir Wm, De Bathe, made the following remarks :—" Volun teers, I had hoped to be able to inform you that .your services had been accepted. I cannot as yet communicate that gratifying intelligence. It is right, however, to acquaint you that the delay, which we all greatly deplore, does not arise from any want of exertion on the part of your officers, for we have laid before the public authorities your numbers, you efficiency, your zeal, and your loyalty, respectfully soliciting for them an answer, one way or other, whether or not they would accept of the services of the Workman's Volunteer Brigade, considering it not advisable and most impolitic to suffer so loyal a body to continue any longer de voting both their time and money to an uncertainty. In the meantime you must rest satisfied with the thanks of your officers for your exemplary conduct. I hope next Saturday to be able to tell you that your services are accepted. Under the circumstances I invite you to give three cheers for Queen Victoria." Loud and protracted cheers followed, after which the battalion, headed by a party of Volunteers in uniform, and its two bands of nearly 85 performers (brass and fifes and drums), marched through the city, round to Tower-hill, attracting great applause and observation. The first annual prize shooting of the 7th West York (Leeds) Volunteer Rifles commenced on Wed nesday, was continued each day up to and includ ing Saturday, and will be resumed to-day (Mon day). The shooting took place on the corps' prac tice ground at Fernley, near Leeds. Only long or short Enfield rifles were allowed to be used, and no hair triggers or magnifying sights were per mitted. The shooting was from the shoulder, and the hits counted as at Hythe, the regulations in other respects being the same as are observed at the School of Musketry there. The shooting on the first three days was occupied in the competition for four prize Enfield rifles complete, with case and instruments, one rifle being given to the beat shot in each of the first four companies of the corps. The shooting was at three ranges-150, 200, and 300 yards, five rounds being fired by each man at each distance. Th ere were a lt oge th er upwards of 100 riflemen engaged in the contest. The highest score (25) was made by Private B. H. Labron, of the first company. In the second company the prize was gain e d b y P r i vate E . C. Senior, who scored 23 ; in the third company by Sergeant Holt, who scored 22 ; and in the fourth by Private J. A. Whalley, who scored 20. With the consent of the . co mmanding officer of the corps , M r. L a b ron, as the best shot in the battalion, will wear a badge (cross muskets and crown, worked in gold), and each of the other gentlemen named, as the best shot in his respective company, will wear a similar badge, the crown i oniTitt• _ed. These badges have been pre sented bi") 11/sig • Beer, a private in the second com p an y' On Saturday evening the All Corners' Prize was first shot.

Campbell F os t er, on Inn Corps, the learned gentleman b e i ng in Lincoln Leeds owing to the sessions being held duri ng the last few s days ; he scored six. Mr . W. Gott, of Leeds, offered as a prize for the second best co m_ cup, value £ 5, m, petitor, and Capt. Kinnear will, of course, be en titled to it. After the All Corners' Prize, the Bo rough Members'Prize was competed for, five rounds at 300 yards being shot. It was won by Private J. T. Beer, of the 2d company of the Leeds Rifle Corps, who made 10 points. There were a large number of competitors for it. These are all the p r i zes which have yet be en s h o t, but several still remain for competition. The weather, on the whole, has been unfavourable, and on the first day a drizzling rain fell, which rendered it very difficult to take correct aim. Considering these circumstances the general scoring is regarded as satisfactory. There will be a formal presentation of the prizes to the suc cessful competitors in the Victoria-hall, Leeds, on som e day not yet named, and Earl De Grey and Ripon has been asked to preside on the occasion. On Saturday afternoon the grounds of Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P., for Greenwich, at The Wood lands, Blackheath, were visited by a large number of the residents of the neighbourhood, for the pur pose of witnessing the presentation by Mrs. Anger stein, on behalf of the ladies of Blackheath, of a silver bugle and cup to the members of the 7th (Kidbrooke) company of Kent Volunteer Rifles. Shortly after 4 o'clock the company was drawn up in line, under the command of Captain Morris, when the Rev. Mr. Selwyn, of Blackheath, having offered an appropriate prayer, Mrs. Angerstein stepped forward and addressed the company as fol lows :—Captain. Morris, officers, and men of the Kidbrooke Company of Volunteer Rifles, I have been requested by the ladies of this immediate neighbourhood to be their representative 'upon this occasion, and I beg to offer you their best wishes, I together with my own, f or the success and perma nence of that noble Volunteer Movement which you were:among the first to join, and the duties of which you have carried on in the most praiseworthy and energetic manner. (Applause.) We earnestly pray that if ever you are called upon to defend your Queen, your country, and your homes, Almighty God will crown your efforts with success. (Ap plause.) I now present you with this bugle and this cup, in the full assurance that you will each of you nobly fulfil:your duty in whatever circumstances you may be placed. (Renewed applause.) The bugle and cup were then handed to Captain Morris, upon which Mr. Angerstein briefly addressed the com pany, remarking that trom its commencement the Volunteer Movement had received his most earnest support, he believing that it was a movement of even more than national importance, (Loud ap plause.) Captain Morris, in a brief, but pointed ad dress, thanked Mrs. Angerstein and the ladies of Blackheath for the handsome presentation made that day, assuring them that the cup which had been given would be th e means, by being placed for competition, of inducing the members to become thoroughly efficient in rifle shooting, and that if ever the bugle then held in his hand should sound the alarm of war the members of the Kidbrooke company would remember by whom it was pre oented, and would go forth to do their duty to their Qu een an d coun t ry an d in fulfilment ' of the oath which they had all taken. (Applause.) At five o'clock between 500 and 600 persons were sumptuously entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Anger stein, a large and handsome marquee having been erected for the occasion. The proceedings termi nated with a display of fireworks. The first meeting of the Hertfordshire Rifle Vo lunteers took place on Friday at Ashridge-park, the seat of Earl Brownlow, to compete for the follow ing prizes given. by his Lordship and Lady Marian Alford, and another prize given by Lieut.-Colonel R. A. Smith Dorrien :—The first prize, a silver tankard given by Earl Brownlow for aggregate score at 200, 400, and 600 yards, was awarded, after a well contested match, to Mr. C. Moore, of the 2d Company, having made 19 points. The second prise, a silver watch, to Mr. Wenham, of the Ist Company, making 17 points. 200 yards .. First prize, £2 to C. Moore .. .. 10 points.

A silver cup given by the officers to be shot for by [ sergeants instructors of the different corps, five P rounds per man, at 300, 500, and 600 yards, was won by Sergeant Rawlins at 10 points, beating Ser geant E. Walker, who also made 10 points in shoot ing off the tie. A prize of £5, given by Lieut.-Col. R. A. Smith Dorrien, with a sweepstakes of 2s. 6d. each from 30 members, to which amount they were limited, at 200 and 300 yards. First prize, Mr. Jones - 13 points Second prize, Mr. A. Rumball l2 points Third prize, Mr. Iles At the close of the contest Lady Marian Alford dis tributed the prizes to the successful competitors, in the presence of a large number of the nobility who are staying at Ashridge. After which the whole of the corps were invited to partake of a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mr. Strange, of the Crystal Palace, under a tent near the mantion, where the whole was brought to a most successful issue under the presidency of Earl Brownlow, who was well supported by the nobility of the county. An encampment formed on Saturday on Nazing common, Essex, by the Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, and Volunteers from the Hon. Artillery Company, the Victoria, Middlesex, and Herts Rifles, &c. The encampment was regularly protected by sentries, guards, videttes, and outposts, and cooking was car ried on. Advantage was also taken of the occasion -to give the troops assembled a " field day." About two p.m. a parade line was formed, with the bands on the right of the regiments ; and the troops, having been inspected, marched on with their bands playing. The other arrangements of the day were as follows :—An enemy's army was shown, sup posed to be marching from the direction of Epping, and the right wing of which was presumed to be annihilated by the artillery and cavalry. The infantry advanced in columns and formed two lines, supported by artillery and cavalry, to attack the cen tre of the hostile force, which with the left wing was driven back and defeated, as the " enemy" always is on these occasions. A new line was then formed, the whole force advanced in parade order and saluted, and the troops, having refreshed themselves, marched off the ground. A slaver bugle has just been presented by Mrs. Fellow es and the ladies of Huntingdonshire to the Ist Rifle Corps of that county, which has now 130 is embers enrolled, under the command of Colone 1 Duncombe. It was originally intended that the pr esentation should take place in the park of the Ea rl of Sandwich, at Hinchinbrook ; but the state of the weather rendered it necessary that the proceed ings should come off in the Court-house at Huntingdon. The presentation was conducted satisfactorily, and Colonel Duncombe having ex pressed his thanks to Mrs. Fellowes and the fair donors .of the bugle, the Volunteers were inspected on the Market-hill by the Duke of Manchester, who col nmands the mounted corps formed in the county.. In the evening a large party of the Voltin teers ezz id their friends dined together in the Town hall, M r. E. Fellowes, M.P., presiding. The services of the Artillery company just formed. at Walton, Suffolk, have been officially accepte d. Mr. Snow has been chosen first lieu tenanit. The Government inspector has allotted one of"..the martello towers at Walton for practice. Anothle r item of interest in connection with the moverai ant in Suffolk is the presentation by Colonel Shaftel Adair of the handsome donation of £lOO - the :funds of the Bungay company. An effort is being made to raise a third com pany so: f Rifle Volunteers at Wakefield. The com pany it ; to be composed of working men, and to be equipp.s d mainly at the expense of Lieutenant Barker of Thornes, and Mr. S. R. Green, of Wake field. AT SEA IN THE STORM. The 4 id of October will be long remembered as one of those days which leave their impress in anxious and sorrowful memories. Already we have heard .o! f shipwrecks ; brave seamen perishing in their of Forts to reach the shore ; and could the ef f ects of that terrible storm be fully known, it would ireveal many an instance of suffering, endu rance, And heroic toil. One such came under our notice,e, and cannot fail to awaken the interest and sympe by of the reader. On title morning of the 3d thei ' William Simpson, of Peterhead, a boat of little • m ore than 15 tons, left the Tay for her na tive p A with a heavy ca rgo o f mussels. She was mann ei 1 by William and Ale - sander Alexander, with ti 90 of their sons, boys about 14 years of age. Sudden .ly the wind rose, and, Sading it impossible to 'ore ast the storm, they rau to sea, an d am _ tin'aed thus till, it is calculated, they were at lee.st a hundred miles from the land. Being nu _ al.)le to carry canvas, or even take down the 7 -aaatt :they were entirely at the mercy of the waves,, and could only struggle to keeptohfeir the poorvessel from Si] iking. The perilous condition fisherm en with their little boys it would be impos sible to conceive. Here, in a small boat, their pro visions destroyed, without fire, wet and weary, in the midst of the raging elements, their only pros pect IPlatS a watery grave. A large quantity of the precious cargo was thrown overboard; twice was the be a filled with water, and the wpm es continued to break over her. The two boys soon. became ex haust( ;d, and were placed under the only shelter an opim boat can afford, saddening as it is, that their pair parents might not see them die. They refused to r main, and the last edible remne mt, a raw cab be, ? ; e was divided between them. I Lard and heart br, taking were the struggles of the two fishermen,. a n d yet they toiled on as those inured to difficulties an d storms only can. For five day u did William ./ 0 ,asander remain at the helm, exeopt twice, when r 1 e was dashed by a wave into the b ottom of the )( Ad, while his brother attended to th e pump and ether matters. Seldom have we heard .of such tryin zposure, such protracted privation a) ad suffering. At last th e ca l m came, and with wha t t strength re -1 (wined, stimulated by a hope the .t, even yet, t b: rough a kind providence, they might be save d, Ih ey mad e f or the land. a Sunday they arrived Stonehaven, having been nearly five de.ys at sea, luring Which they had ate little, slept none, and been subj ected to the severest hardships. Their condition was deplorable, their deliverance a mar vel ; and the news of their safety wali received by anxious friends with equal delight e.nd astonish ment. The boat arrived here on Monday. Such is one of the incidents of Wednesd.ay week. Th e William Simpson had a perilous voyage, and her brave little crew a narrow escape ; but how many on that memorable day perished .amid the scenes of theirßtri iggiee and sufferings!—,p, ?,4erhea k'entinel. DINNER TO THE 37th KENT VOL UN- TEERS. After the review of the 37th Kent Rifle Volun teers, last Thursday, the battalion marched down into the town, and thence to Baker's Cross, where a large marquee with its long line of roof sur-1 mounted by numerous flags, was a welcome object to the hungry volunteers. The tables, laid to accommodate about 450 guests, were loaded to repletion with substantials to appease and delicacies to tempt the appetite ; whilst the numerous array of wine bottles gave promise that there would be no lack of " bumpers " to drink the after-dinner toasts. Flowers and evergreens were tastefully disposed about the can v a ss wa ll s an d roo f, while " Welcome Volunteers," " Invieta," and other appropriate mottoes caught the eye. This magnifi cent feast had been provided with princely liberality solely at the expense of Major Bell. The arrange ments generally were admirable, every one of the 400 volunteers taking his seat without trouble or confusion. In addition to the whole of the battalion, Major Bell and his lady, Mrs. Bell, had also invited the following guests, who occupied a raised table along one side of the tent :—Lord Sydney, Lady Sydney, Rev. E. Moore, Lady Harriet Moore, A. J. B. Beresford-Hope, Esq., Lady Mildred Beresford- Hope, H. Hoare, Esq., Lady Mary Hoare, E. Hus sey, Esq., the Hon. Mrs. Hussey, Gathorne Hardy, Esq., M.P., Mrs. Hardy, Sir John Herschel, Bart., Lady Herschel, Captain Buxton (Adjutant), Mrs. Buxton, Marcus Stone, Esq., Miss Ellen Stone, Miss Bertha Stone, W. C. Morland, Esq., Mrs. Morland, R. Tooth, Esq., Mrs. Tooth, Col. Luard, Rev. H.Harrison, Rev. I. Edge, Rev. John Twells, Rev. W. Rumsey, Rev. A. Eden, Rev. H. Jeffreys, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Elsted, Captain Weller, Captain Tweedie, Captain Ruxten (Chief Constable of Kent), Mr. E. Wilson, Dr. Jobson, Mr. Young, Mr. Piper, &c. Dinner having been succeeded by a plentiful dessert, the chairman, in very eloquent and patriotic speeches, of which, howeyer, we have not space to give even an outline, proposed the usual loyal toasts, which were drunk enthusiastically. The CHAIRMAN, in next proposing the health of " Lord Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of the County," pointed out in forcible terms the great advantages which England derived from a territorial aristo cracy. Viscount SYDNEY returned thanks, and concluded by proposing, in complimentary terms, the health of their hospitable host, Major Bell, and " Success to the 37th Kent Rifle Volunteers." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, the cheers given in honour of the Chairman continuing for several minutes. Major BELL, after having briefly acknowledged the compliment, continued—lf I were asked to ex plain what this assemblage of volunteers meant, I would say it is the expression of opinion of the middle classes of England that England is worth defending. (Cheers.) But if England be worth defending, England may be worth attacking. And when we consider what England is—a little island lying in the Northern Sea, yet exercising an almost boundless influence on the destinies of the world— we can understand why it may be the object and the interest of other powers to attack England. (Hear, hear.) Look at the boundless wealth of England—look at her vast colonial possessions— look at her unrivalled trade—all these things con stitute an object of envy to many foreign powers. (Cheers.) England exercises an amount of influence entirely disproportionate to her territorial extent. That fact is in itself an offence to those who wish England ill. (Hear, hear.) The successful invasion of England would lead not only to the temporary humiliation, but to the dismemberm en t o f E ng l an d. Recollect that amongst foreign powers England has no real friends. England stands in the way of the objects and ambition of many foreign powers. (Cheers.) But for England, France would exercise an uncontrolled supremacy in Europe; but for England, Russia might be omnipotent in Asia; but for England, the whole continent of America would belong to the United States. (Cheers.) A war with England, therefore, might lead to a coalition against England, and a war against England, if suc cessful in its issue, might lead to the absolute dis memberment of England. (Hear, hear.) Eng land is not like France, a territory compact and self-contained. The power of England is spread all over the world. England is weaker at home than anywhere else; and, there fore, those who strike at England will strike at her heart. (Hear, hear.) If an invasion of England succeeded, recollect that immediately would follow a suspension of that by which England lives— credit. Recollect that the vast mass of the popu tion of England is no longer connected with the cultivation of the soil. The great mass is centred in the towns of England, and the towns of England depend on credit. Suspend credit, which would be the effect of a successful invasion, and it would in , volve an annihilation of all the springs of industry. (Cheers.) You have not merely bloodshed, you have famine. If an invasion of England proved ' successful, there would be an end of the British Empire; there would be an end to the labours of a thousand years. (Cheers.) Look at the state of Europe. Europe never was in a more disturbed state than at the present moment. We happen to live next door to a potentate who is under the in fluence of " ideas ;" and his " ideas" take the form of the annexation of his neighbour's territories. (Cheers and ironical laughter.) Now, ideas are apt to become formidable in so far as they as they are likely to resolve themselves into action. (Hear, hear.) If we study history, we find that " ideas" were as paramount in past times as they are in the present. If you study the history of Rome you will find that for 700 years the Roman people harboured the idea that they were born to rule the universe, and the fact that they did harbour it led to its rea lisation. Every Roman was a soldier, and we find that when the atrocities that the Romans perpe trated amongst their neighbours led to what may be called a combination against Rome, this " idea" enabled them to resist successfully even the genius of Hannibal, the greatest captain of his age ; for al though he held possession of Italy for 16 years, he could not subdue, in the minds of the Romans, that idea. The Romans believed they were born for universal conquest, and, in virtue of that idea, they achieved universal conquest. So, in comparatively modern times, we find the influence of an idea prevailing in Russia. It is now nearly a thousand years ago that the Muscovites, as they were then termed, began to 'entertain the idea that their destiny was to obtain possession of Constan tinople. In the year 865 the Muscovites besieged Constantinople, and within tv; o centuries they made four attacks on the city of the Crescent. The " idea" that animated them a thousand years ago animates them still. They still believe that it is their destiny, one day, to become possessors of Con stantinople. If we turn to the history of France, we find that, more than 2,000 years ago, Brennus and his Gauls took possession of Rome; and the ambition of France in the present day seems to be to take possession of Italy. (Cheers.) We have witnessed, within these few months, the annexe- , tion of Savoy and Nice to the territories of France. And what was the pretext I' That in 1798 Savoy belonged to France ! If that pretext be good for one thing, it may be good for another. The Chan nel Islands once belonged to France. Why may not France, by virtue of the same plea, claim that the Channel Islands be restored to her? Nay, more, England itself at one time belonged to the Normans, and the Normans came out of France. Why, then, should not France claim the whole of England, from Kent to Caithness ? (Cheers.) 'We have heard that France required the annexation of Savoy because she was afraid of Italy. If France be afraid of Italy, may not France profess to be more afraid of England ? (Cheers.) 'And we, too, have been acting under the influence of "ideas." For the last forty years we seem to have cultivated the idea that wealth could protect itself. We have pro claimed, for the last forty years, that England was becoming richer and richer day by day, and we have only now awakened to the fact that wealth alone will not protect a country. (Cheers.) We have discovered at last, and a marvellous discovery it is, that our army and navy cost money; and because Ethnegylacnodst tmnondeisyb,asnodmethweioruslndldciaelrlsoanntd sailors people . of If that argument isworth anything, the • army and navy are not the only thinwhich things r •ost money. The administration of justice - then, should we not `zosts money—why, with ' the army and r dispense, not only rvy, system by virtue of w . , glich . but with the whole W 8 in this country. (C.J.heers.) JuA r ice is administered , e have been told by some men, the s f ..-Called friends of peace that it is i a pity to i rr- t aite France by a display or martial preparation' 4 . If that argument be thing, it ma y be worth somethin worth any g more. Why should. we irritate burglars and housebreakers by a display of laws for the protection of our lives and "property ? (Cheers.) Depend upon it nothing is so costly as a display of national weakness— nothing is se ruinous as the preparation to submit to national disgraee. (Loud cheers.) If yon try it by the vulgar money test, nothing is so econo mical as the determination to defend the honour of the country. (Loud cheers.) The country which is prepared at all times to defend its honour will rarely be called on to fight for its existence. (Cheers.) If, on the other hand, a country should be found indisposed to stand up for the maintenance of its honour, rest assured that that country does not deserve to belong to the great comity of na tions, (Cheers.) Nor will it long maintain its rank, for aggressive neighbours will soon discover that the country which is not prepared to fight for its honour, will not long be prepared to fight for its existence; and the country not prepared to fight will soon hays little left that is worth fighting for.' THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1860. The venerable baronet concluded by again return ing thanks for the visitors, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause. Cheers were given for Major and Mrs. Bell, and Viscount Sydney, and the party separated. It was some hours afterwards before the streets of Cran brook recovered their normal quietude. (Cheers.) This volunteer movement, if it has no other effect, will strengthen in the minds of all Englishmen a love for England. (Cheers.) And is not England a country worth loving ? England is not a mere geographical expression ; England is not merely a region representing so many square miles of area, lying in a particular longitude and latitude; England is something more—England is all that the genius, the wisdom, the courage of 30 generations of Englishmen have made her. (Cheers.) In virtue of that genius, that wisdom, that cou rage, England holds the first place amongst the the nations. She is first in arts and arms. Na ture made England comparatively poor in soil and climate. The industry of her sons has made England the wealthiest country in the world. (Cheers.) Look at her unrivalled agricultural skill—look at the marvellous ingenuity dis played in applying the aids of science to productive industry —look at her surpassing manufacturing enterprise ; and, in tie domain of intellect, look at the long list of masters of abstract thought to whom England has given birth—look at the illustrious men of science, the Newtons of a former age, the Herschells of the present time. (Loud cheers.) Look at her geologists, and her chemists, who have shed a light on the secrets of nature—look at her engineers, those magicians who have altered the face of the world. England, moreover, is the birth place of poetry, for England is the birth-place of Shakspeare, and until the world knew Shakspeare it knew nothing of poetry in its highest forms. And is not, then, this wondrous England, this great nursing mother of literature, and science, and all the useful arts—is she not worth loving ? and does not love for England ennoble the humblest Englishman who is animated by it ? (Cheers.) Taken in a certain sense, high sentiment is even more enno bling than profound thought, for profound thought may be allied to selfishness. Sentiment is high in proportion as it is unselfish. Not every man, be sides, is qualified to become a profound thinker, but every man may become great in virtue of his sym pathy with greatness. Love of country is the noblest of human sentiments. To love one's coun try is to love one's countrymen. England, I repeat, is worth loving, because England is great, and her greatness represents all the great Englishmen of bygone tinges. (Cheers.) The most profound thinkers, the most brilliant speakers, they have not laboured in vain. They have made England what she is, and they sleep with the primeval giants. We are called on merely to protect and defend the results of the labours of our forefathers, and shall we shrink from undertaking that task, while the works of mighty men are scattered around us on every side, and we have their graves before us wherever we turn ? (Cheers.) Kent holds the bones of tens of thousands of men who have served England and died for her—of men who resisted the landing of Csesar on our shores, of men who fought at Hastings in defence of English liberty, of men who have helped to win all the victories of England, from Cressy and Agincourt to Trafalgar and Waterloo, and from Trafalgar and Waterloo to Delhi and Lucknow. (Loud cheers.) The men of Kent do not profess to be better men than other English men, but they cannot forget that Sir Philip Sidney, the model of English soldiers and English gentle men, was a Kentish man. (Cheers.) The men of Kent cannot forget that their forefathers formed the van of the armies of England, and we cannot close our eyes to the fact that in the event of an in vasion the men of Kent and Sussex would have to bear the brunt of a hostile attack. (Hear, hear.) The men of Kent know that a successful invasion would involve bloodshed on a scale unprecedented in extent—they know it would involve something even more fearful than bloodshed. (Hear, hear.) Without professing to be better than others, our fellow-Englishmen, I think I do not speak boast ingly when I say that every member of the 37th Kent Volunteers will, in the event of an actual in vasion, be proud to be enrolled amongst those who, in laying down their lives for fatherland,would feel they had discharged but a small portion of the debt which every Englishman. owes to England. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. H. HARRISON proposed the health of "the Visitors," coupled with the name of Sir John Herschel. Only a few disjointed sentences of the rev. gentleman's speech could be heard where the reporters sat, though it seemed to create consider able merriment amongst those near the speaker. The toast was very cordially drunk. Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, in responding on behalf of "the Visitors," said—After the many excellent speeches we have heard this evening, after the ad dress to which we have just been listening from our excellent Chairman, combining the eloquence of a Burke with the patriotism of a Sidney— (cheers)—l feel that any remarks I may offer on this occasion will appear tame by comparison. (" No, no.") In witnessing the splendid spectacle of this day, I have felt in common with every Englishman pre sent, sensations at once the most elevating, the most gratifying, the most ennobling which it is possible for the human bosom to experience. (Cheers.) If I had been able 1 would infinitely rather have been an actor in the scene than a mere spectator. I wish, indeed, I could join your ranks —(cheers)—but though I cannot do that, I may still glance around and see some of the bearings of this great national movement. (Cheers.) As a con trast to the animated scene which wo have wit nessed this day, I may recall that sort of fools' Elysium in which, some eight or ten years ago, so many indulged—that time when the " men of peace" preached the doctrine of non-resistance, and told us that all the bad elements of human nature were extinguished, and that henceforth all nations would live in peacla and amity with each other. And for awhile we listened to the voice of the charmer. But we have now awoke from this dream of everlasting peace and commercial prosperity— have arisen to the presence of a stern reality which has effectually dispelled all these imaginary ideas from the national mind. England has her position to maintain as one of the great Powers of Europe, and to maintain that position she must not exist on the sufferance of any other nation, or be deficient in the means of strength when the hour of action arrives. (Cheers.) At the same time we must be careful not to rush into the other extreme. We have heard much of "oppressed nationalities," but though we may sympathise with their efforts to ob tain such a freedom as ourselves enjoy, we must not meddle with their affairs. Yet England has its aspirations. What are they ? Shall I say ter ritorial aggrandisement ? Goa, forbid ! At the commencement of the Sicilian insurrection, it was said that England had fostered the revolt with a view to the annexation of Sicily to the English Crown. England's days of annexation, I believe, are past. (Hear, hear.) The English people would not wish, I am sure, for the annexation of even an island of Corsica or of Sardinia, even if it cost the cheapest falsehood that ever glided glibly through political lips. (Cheers.) England has had enough of annexations—too much, perhaps. (Hear, hear.) Besides the difficulty of checking the spirit of cupidity which is thus aroused, we know that the expense of consolidating our rule, and governing those who are under our sway in a just and liberal manner, often renders these acquisitions very costly. (Hear.) The extent of the mighty empire which owns the sway of Queen Victoria is indeed astonishing. Upon it the sun never sets, and I believe that not two centuries will elapse before the English tongue will become the current language over a great portion of the globe. (Cheers.) To preserve the freedom and greatness which she has attained England requires to show the military capacity of her people. Ido not say that she re quires military glory or prowess, for in the past pages of England's history there is enough o£ glory and prowess to last her for a century to come. (Cheers.) What England needs is that her sons should be able to exhibit military prowess when required in defence of their own native land—the capacity to resist any attempt to crush that free dom which has so long been our privilege and our birthright, or to destroy that self-government which is the pride and glory of England. (Cheers.) Bo o g f u a moral, ded , so social, prepared, oeiu l, and England scientific may pr p o g u r t, es sue s t w h j e t p h a o th without doubt or fear. (Hear.) I am one of those wild believe in the great importance and utility of the volunteer movement, if it be persevered in. I con sider that it will be productive of the most beneficial results, not only politically, but socially, Men of all ranks and classes of society will be brought together in the ranks of the rifle corps, not attracted by the prospect of gain, forced by no conscription, influenced by no selfish motives, but coming of their own free will, all animated by the common determination to preserve inviolate the rights and liberties they possess. (Cheers>) What matters it whether this one be a mechanic and that a nobleman—when upon the drill or practice ground all are eqßals ; they wear the same dress, they stand shottlder to shoulder, and are they not all pledged to die if need were in their country's cause? (Cheers.) What is more likely to make a man feel kindly towards his fellow-man than this close com panionship ? And I may be excus©d if I add, as one of the subordinate advantages to be derived from this movement, that it will be a very good thing for some of our young men to learn those prin ciples of obedience which it is most important should be paid to the commands of their superior officers — to realise at times the meaning of must. (A laugh.) Another thing which occurs to me is that it would be very desirable if those young gentlemen who, possessing the necessary leisure, have joined the volunt eer movement, were t o study military tactics on a comprehensive scale. Heaven grant the time m e he a t yne e v a e s r e, comewhen the volunteers will be called upon to meet a foe i n th i s coun t ry , b u t if thi s s h ou ld b knowledge of the kind to which I have refereed would be especially valuable, (Hear, hear,)' slain from the beginning of the! world, pleading their cause, and imploring for them peace and eternal rest. Yes, peace and eternal rest to our country men—peace and rest to their noble and generous companions, and to their illustrious leader, Pimodan, who died with them on the field of honour. Their career was short, but it was glorious—they sacrificed their worldly prospects and the enjoyments and hopes of this world for the protection of religion and the well-being of mankind.

It was by His agony and death, and by the humility of the Cross, that otir Divine Redeemer overcame the powers of darkness and • freed us from the slavery of hell. The Church has often been perse cuted, and often wept over the sufferings of her children, but the blood uf martyrs has always been the seed of Christians. The Pontiffs have often been in exile and chains ; many of them have died upon the scaffold, but their authority has never died, never been destroyed. Even in the present c-.‘ntury a Pius VII. was dragged from his throne ; his States were annexed to France by the ambitious uncle of the present Emperor. The same scenes were then enacted which we now witness ; and heresy and infidelity shouted with exultation that the Papacy was at al? end. What was the result ? The Pope returned In triumph to Rome, and re acquired all his territory. Napoleon I. was sent to expiate his offences and to die a captive on a barren rock in a distant ocean. The same -will now happen sooner or later; contempt for all law, human and divine—auare.hy, perfidy, violence may prevail for a while against the Apostolic See—but in the end the Church and her Supreme Pastor will triumph. While shedding a tear and offering our prayers for the illustrious dead, let us not forget to pray for the cause for which thoy died, imploring of the Almighty to shorten the days of the tribula tion of the just, to • quiet the troubled waves and waters, and to strengthen and exalt our Holy Pontiff, and to restore peace and happiness to the Church. Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let them who hate Him flee from before his face.' " TILE ASTEP2VEY MURDER. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

A man named Philip Cornelius, a lighterman, t,t Nicholson's Wil e d, L o ndon-bridge, found, who was drinking with the e h m a s p b lo e y e e u d pri soner (Mullins') at six o'clock on the evening of Monday, the 13th of August, at a public-house in Three Colt-lane, Bethnal-green. This is the even ing on which the murder is supposed to have been committed at the deceased's (Mrs. Emsley's) resi dence. The man Oc.lrnelius left the accused about seven o'clock, and he never saw him afterwards. He was very intimate with Mullins, whom he had known for several year a , . A man named Harrison, a weaver, residing in Park-street, close to the house where Emma re sided, has been summoned by Mr. Stevens, as Mul lins was seen by him between two and three o'clock on the Sunday morning walking from the brick field where the parcel was discovered by Sergeant Thomas on the Sunday afternoon, the 9th ultimo, which would be the day they were both appre hended. Several other witnesses will be in attendance, with Dr. Gill, of the Bow-road. The latter will be examined as to the marks of blood found upon a sovereign which has been forwarded to the Coroner (Mr. John Humphreys). An application has been made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and from what the reporter learned from the police of the K. divi sion, the prisoner Mullins will not be present at the adjourned inquest on Tuesday next.
