The general scheme and objects proposed to be embraced by this Company may be thus described, viz. :—The con struction, m aintenance, management , and workin g of such works of irrigation, water transit, and water sup ply in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may, from time to time, be found to be of a profitable character, after the necessary sanction of Government has been secured to each project. The works selected for first operations, and intended to be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en gineers of the highest attaintments and Indian experience, who urgently recommended them for construction by Go vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most =portant, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India. These works will consist of : _ _ Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial Deltas of Orissa and the adjoining districts, receiving their supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three great rivers, the Mahanuildy, the Byturny, and the Brah many, which, with their affluents, intersect and command . the trade and commeice of countries, together much l ar g er in extent than England and Wales, and abounding in agricultural and mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone, capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to about 2,000,000 acres. Secondly,—A main Irrigating and Navigable Canal, con necting the above works and districts with the port and city of Calcutta, starting from Balasore and passing by Midna poor to the Hoogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000 acres of good land contained in the surrounding country. The present Secretary of State for India, in Coun cil, in March last, addressed to the Government of India as official communication calling attention to the im portance of constructing these works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed Company established led, however, he states, to their con ession to this Company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly.—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means f a Iditional returns :- I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per tentage upon outlay. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1,000,800, divided into .50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of LI per share Only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice Will be given to each shareholder. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of shares held by them in that company, and all future issues of shares in England will be distributed pro rata amongst such of the then existing shareholders in the present com pany as may be desirous of taking them. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may, now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non•street, E.C., London; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East. TO GUN MAKERS AND OTHERS.- HURST'S (registered) EBONITE RIFLE PROTEC TOR presents injury to Muzzle and Barrel while loading. Price Is. each.

The whole spectacle was one reflecting the highest credit upon them, and the Liverpool compa nies especially drew repeated marks of approbation from the lookers-on, owing to the soldierly bear ing they presented.

The East India troopship Tiptree, 1,650 tons, Capt. Pinall, whose arrival in the Thames with a large number of cavalry and infantry troops on board has already been reported in The Sun, brought up at Gravesend on Saturday, and landed military invalids at the Customhouse. The Tiptree embarked her troops at Kurrachee on the 9th of April last, and sailed thence the following day, the voyage to the Thames being a very protracted one of four months, including several days' detention at the Cape of Good Hope, which the vessel left on the 13th of June last, having lost nearly nine days in beating in to the ,anchorage at the Cape. The number of troops whe embarked at Kurrachee was 302 of all ranks, 42 women, and 40 children, belonging to the 7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards, 7th Hussars, 7th Royal Fusiliers, Ist bat talion 24th, 27th (Enniskillens), :46th, 51st King's Own Light Infantry, 64th, 81st, 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, 93d. Highlanders, 94th, and 98th Regiments, together with 21 non-commis sioned officers and. invalid troops of the Bengal Horse Artillery, Bengal Foot Artillery, and the Ist Bengal Fusiliers. The following officers came home in command of the troops :—Captain S. H. H. Edwards, 98th Regiment; Capt. J. V. Cle land, 7th Dragoon Guards ; Lieut. W. M. Harnett and Quartermaster C. Carell, 81st Regiment ; Dr. Robson, civil surgeon, being the medical officer in charge. Lieut. Talbot de B. Hughes, of the Cape Mounted Rifles, came home as passenger on leave from the Cape ; and Quartermaster W. Knott, late of the 52d Light Infantry, from Kurrachee. The number of deaths on board during the voyage was considerable, including three men of the 87th, two of the 27th, two of the 64th, one of the 7th Fusiliers, one of the 46th, one of the 93d, one woman, and six children ; there were also two births during the passage. After the troops had disembarked at Gravesend the whole of them, with the exception of those belonging to the Bengal regiments, were forwarded to Chatham, where they were medically inspected, when 27 non-commis sioned officers and men were taken to Fort Pitt Hospital for medical treatment, and ten insane sol diers admitted into the military lunatic asylum. The invalids who have recovered from their wounds or sickness will remain at St. Mary's Barracks until sent to join their depots or discharged. from the remained on the ground to a much later hour. The review was most creditable to the volun- teers and a great.success. The review being over Sir George rode with his staff towards the troops, and complimented them very much upon the mili tary knowledge they had displayed. On Saturday afternoon the members of the 7th Surrey Rifle Corps were inspected by Col. Pipon, C.B.,deputy-assistant-adjutant-general. The volun teers assembled at their head-quarters, the Sessions- house, Newington-causeway, and a battalion was formed, composed of the 7th Surrey, the 4th Surrey, (Streatham) Rifles, under the command of Captain Eman, the 10th Surrey (Bermondsey) Rifles, under the command of Capt. Glover ; the whole being under the command of Major Beresford. Shortly before 5 o'clock the word of command to fall in was given, and the volunteers, headed by the band of the 7th Surrey, underthe direction of Mr. Bucking- ham, proceeded to march, followed by dense crowds of spectators, down the Causeway, past the Ele phant and Castle, and through Kennington-lane to Mr. Nesbitt's field. Notwithstanding the threaten- Lug and unpromising aspect of the weather, the . _ ... scene was enlivened by the presence of a consider- able number of friend; of the volunteers, the ladies, as usual, being presentin strong force. As Major Beresford is about toestablish a juvenile cadet corps in connection with the 7th Surrey, two of that gal lant officer's sons, aged 7 and 9, appeared for the first time in uniform armed cap-a-pie, thus carrying out Lord Elcho's plan of increasing the funds of the corps by those boys who, being unable to join as effectives, were willing to subscribe through their parents. At 6 o'clock Col. Pipon arrived on the parade-ground, when the volunteers presented arms, &c., the band playing '! God Save the Queen." After going through the usual evolutions and ma noeuvres of a field day and light infantry drills, the volunteers were supplied with 10 rounds of ammu nition, and were exercised in firing volleys by com panies from the right and in battalion, the firing , being delivered with great regularity and preci sion. The various military evolutions were performed in a manner which would have done credit to tried troops of the line. The long and severe attention which the volunteers have paid to the minute de tails of drill, speaks well for the credit of the above Mentioned corps. Col. Pipon then addressed the corps, and expressed the gratification he felt at witnessing for the first time the highly creditable manner in which all the evolutions had been per formed by a body of volunteers. _ service. • The 4th company of Royal Engineers, which is one of the four companies of the Royals who have lift India on the Indian Government determining to employ only the Indian Engineers, arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, from Calcutta, on Friday night, under the command of Lieut. G. S. Berkeley, The 4th company embarked for India on the break ing out of the mutiny, and served until the sup pression of the revolt. It previously served in the Crimea during the whole of the Russian war. The company will be raised to its proper strength from the detachments at Brornpton barracks. It is reported that Major-General Wood, com mandant of the Camp at Colchester, will shortly be promoted to a higher appointment. His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has appointed Major C. De Morel, 9th Battalion, to proceed without delay to relieve Brevet.-Col. E. A. G. Muller, at Stirling Castle (22d depot battalion, India). His Royal Highness has also appointed Major 11. A. Welman (now adjutant sth depot battalion, Parkhurst) to the 9th depot battalion. Staff Surg. 11. A. M'Dermott, in medical charge of the 10th battalion, has been relieved by Staff Surg. J: M'G. Laing ; Mr. M'Dermott proceeds to the Gold Coast. Deputy-Commissary-General Napier will leave the camp on the arrival of Deputy-Com missary-General Marsh from Malta. Deputy-Com missary-General Napier goes to China. A draught of the Ist battalion sth Fusilcers, under orders for India, will embark on Friday. The draught con sists of Brevet. Major A. Scott, Lieut. G. A. Shegog, Ensign W. C. Ormond, and 203 rank and file. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Captain J. Seccombe, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, having on board Commander Paul and the party of riggers who navigated the Pelican, 22, from Pembroke to Portsmouth. The Himalaya is appointed to-day (Monday) to embark the 11th depot. The detachment doing . duty at Maker Heights rejoined head-quarters on Friday. The 11th will be taken to Liverpool for conveyance to Preston. It is stated to be the intention of the Horse Guards hereafter not to send depots of young soldiers to barracks in thickly inhabited towns, where the men become inattentive to their duties, and the neighbourhood becomes demoralized. The Misses Rawson, of Nidd-hail, ladies of the manor of Bradford, have offered to lease to the Bradford Battalion of Rifle Volunteers, at a nominal rent, a field conveniently situated at that town for the site of an armoury, drill-room, and offices of a permanent character which it is proposed to erect for the use of the corps. It is estimated that the buildings will cost about £l,OOO, and the money is to be raised by a bazaar, to be held in St. George's hall next spring. A committee is forming to carry out the project. It is stated that the Low Moor Iron Company intend establishing a company of rifle volunteers, to wear the same uniform as the Bradford corps and to be attached to that battalion. The Ipswich volunteers engaged in target prac tice for a prize cup on Friday at Landguard Fort, Harwich. The cup was offered by a number of Ipswich gentlemen, and the firing was in the fol- lowing order :—Five shots at 650 yards' range, five at 700, five at 800, five at 900. The competition lasted four hours, and the highest number of points was obtained by Mr. Pretty, jun., who made 12 out of 20. 'Thy; second on the list was Ensign Josselyn, who made nine points, and the third Ser geant Cresswell, who made eight. Mr. Pretty was the youngest of the 12 gentlemen who took part in the contest. He struck the bull's-eye three times, Ensign Josselyn twice, and Sergeant Cresswell once. Glocestershire is likely to be well supplied with volunteers. We hear that the Duke of Beaufort contemplates raising a corps of mounted volunteers, to be armed with rifle carbines. They would not interfere with the GlocestershireYeomanryCavalry. This mounted corps would enable Glocestershire to supply volunteers of all arms—horse, foot, and ar tillery. The duke gives £25 towards the prize fund for the rifle shooting in the county ; the Earl of Ellenborough also gives £lO and Lord Dynevor £lO 10s. to the same fund. On Thursday, the sth (Maidenhead) Company of Berkshire Rifle Volunteers mustered 70 rank and file, at their parade ground, and headed by the drums and fifes of the Reading Corps, marched through the town to the residence of their Quarter master, Mr. R. W. Grenfell. There a large assem blage of the neighbours were gratified by a sham fight on a small scale. The 16th (or Harrogate) Company of the West Riding of Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers assembled at the Stray, High Harrowgate, on Wednesday last, when a handsome silver bugle, which cost 60 guineas, was presented to the corps by Mrs. Robert Reynard (the sole donor), widow of Capt. Reynard, of Har rogate. There was a large assemblage of military and other persons on the occasion. The corps was under the command of Capt. Harrison, who put them through several evolutions, which they per formed in a very creditable manner. The fete in Alresford-park, near Colchester, passed off very satisfactorily. A bugle, valued at 35 guineas, was presented to the Colchester Corps by Lady de Crespigny, wife of Sir Claude de Cres pigny, Commandant of the Essex Battalion. The entertainment afterwards given by Mr. Hawkins was attended by 120 guests, among whom may be mentioned Lord Braybrooke, Sir John Tyrell, Major Beresford, M.P., Mr. Brampton Gurdon, M.P., Mr. Papillon, 141. P., Mr. Gurdon Rebow, Major-Gen. Wood (Commandant of the Colchester camp), Col. Dixon, Col. Haddon, R.E., Il.ajor De Morel, &c. Lord Northwick called a meeting of his neighbours and gentlemen possessing property in and around. Moreton-in-the-Marsh, where the counties of Glou cester intermingle, with the view o f raising p corps of Volunteers for the district. T he meetin g was held at Northwick-park, and there were present, besides his Lordship, the Earl of Harrowby, the Revs, C. E. Kennaway, a B. Dodwell, H. Brom field, and G. H. Chance, with several laymen. It was resolved to get up a corps, and Lord Northwick offered the use of some of his fields for tar g et prac tice. The new corps will take the nam e o f t h e the "North Cotswold," and it is understood that gentlemen. are ready to undertake the duties of c aptain, lieuten ant, and ensi g n. On Saturday eveni n g the me mbers of the Ist Kent Rifle Volunteers assembled at the Militia -barracks, Maidstone, under the command of Major Scott, and marched thence to the Motopark, tie seat of the Earl of Romney, where, in the presence of a large company, they were presented. with a pair of colours by Mrs. Randall, wife of the banker of that name. The colours bear the inscription, First Kent," with the Rent arms and the motto, " In victa." Major Scott (commandant) briefly acknow ledged the compliment. The regiment then marched past in 2 low and quick time, and having; given three hearty cheers for Mrs. Randall and the ladies, left the park. The arrangements for the great rifle prize meet ing and Berkshire Volunteer review, which, by permission of her Majesty, w ill be held i n following is Windsor Great Park on the 13th of September, are now completed, the substance of the The shooting will commence at half-past 9 a.m., to regulations be followed by athletic games at 11, the review at half-past 3, dinner at 6, and the whole to conclude at 8 o'clock. The subscription list makes very satisfactory progress, but a considerable addi tional amount will be required. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST • 13, 1860.

MR. BRIGHT AND THE PENNY PRESS. (From the Times.) Mr. Bright is the Paul Pry of the Press. He does not so much as ask your pardon for his im pertinence, or even put it into the form of a ques tion. His method is to make a monstrous assertion, and then wait to see what comes of it. Any man of business—which Mr. Bright is not—must know that such a concern as ours would soon come to an end if it were not conducted with the strictest re gard to all the sound and honest principles of trade. No man of business, therefore, will either ask any questions or imagine anything over and above what he must know to be the case with all regular and and solvent establishments. For our part, we are the last to ask questions, for the simple reason that if there is a mystery we know it will be revealed before long in some one of her Majesty's Courts of Law. Even in that event—for the event sometimes occurs—our candid readers will do us the justice to remember that there is in these columns no unnecessary parade of the disasters of our contem poraries, or the singular histories with which they are sometimes preceded. It is not that we have no provocation to an irregular curiosity. 'With our experience we may be naturally at a loss to under stand how a well written morning paper, with its own sources of information, can I - e sold 10 for six pence and leave a profit to its proprietors. It is no concern of ours, even though it encourages a fabu lous estimate of our own profits. The indignant appeal of Mr. Henry Brookes to the Constitutional Defence Committee, explaining why in honour he can no longer belong to their Executive Committee, throws a ray of light into the cheap press mystery which must before long expand into day. Being himself a member of that Executive, and warmly interested in the preservation of our constitutional liberties from the encroachments of the Lords and the aristocratic leanings of the Premier, he expe riences a worse treachery among his own colleagues. In his own committee-room he reports that " the Proprietors, the Editors, Writers, Contributors, and Partisans of the ,star," have usurped the functions of the Committee, and then sold the cause, and all the properties attached, including the louse of Commons, and the maxim of " no taxation without representation," for the French Treaty. In order to obtain a trifling facility for the disposal of cotton goods, the shrewd politicians just mentioned have connived at a fatal blow to the British Constitution. When future Macaulays ask how and when the House of Commons lost the precious right of ad justing the national burdens it will be found, says this unquestionably competent witness, that it was sold by Mr. Bright and the conductors of his jour nal for a reduction of the French duties upon piece goods and other exports. Having monopolized the conduct of our constitutional defence, they reso lutely suppressed all real action, vapoured a while, and then betrayed the cause. So Mr. Henry Brookes delivers his conscience, and cuts the con nexion of Messrs. Bright and do. Let our readers judge. Have we not reasonable grounds of curio sity as to the financial mysteries of the above journal ? But we leave them to that Time which brings all things to light. After these revelations it is no matter of sur• prise that Mr. Bright should imagine mysteries where there are none, and should suppose a dark conspiracy or a brilliant fraud where all is as plain matter of business as the interior of an old city bank. We really have nothing to tell Mr. Bright about our concerns except that we find paper very expensive and should be glad to get it cheaper. Some time since we offered £l,OOO to any one who could discover a cheaper material than rags to an swer the same purpose, to make as good paper, and to satisfy the public. If the failure of all attempts had not made it almost ridiculous we might double the offer. But we will take another way of meet ing Mr. Bright's assertion, that we have a personal interest in keeping up the price of paper. If he, or any of his numerous enterprising friends, will supply us with paper as good as that we now use, and two shillings a cwt. cheaper, we are ready to deal with and admit him to a share in this nefari ous conspiracy , against the interests of mankind. He will then Know all about it as far as the paper is concerned. It was natural, of course; that we should feel some sympathy with those who had long supplied us well, and with the trade they re presented, when we believed them to be placed in a disadvantageous and unfair position. Mr. Bright himself admits that they are now in this position. No doubt, the gentlemen with whom he has to deal have succeeded in convincing him of this fact ; and no doubt their resentment at the way in which he has managed their cause adds something to the fury of his late outbreak. We plead guilty to the charge of feeling for old friends who honestly believe them selves to be placed in a situation of great difficulty and peril, even though we may think their fears somewhat exaggerated. But we are ready to prove to Mr. Bright, or any man of business he may think more qualified to understand the case, that our interest in the case of the paper makers is not only perfectly unselfish, but even against our own selfish interests. So slight a reduction as five per cent. in the price of paper would be £7,000 a-year in tho pockets of our proprietors. We are in no wise interested in the profits of our paper makers; and, though we should be sorry that they or anybody with whom we deal, should suffer, us n a o r t k h e e t r w p e ee t a a n n d a s therefriends. is y T e h t e i y t I s v u o p u p l d l y n u o s t a a t ffe th et e no more favour in the affair than there is between a man ufacturer at Manchester a nd a Manchester ware h ouse man in the city of London. For a ll this we take no credit. If we attempted to carry on business otherwise we should soon come to a stand. This is the whole truth, and all the answer we can give to our Paul Pry. (From the Morrang Test.) Out of the very depths of his antipathies with the living Mr. Bright courts alliances with the dead. Yet every one knows how bitterly the less liberal dead, could they but be now living, would have been assailed by Mr. Bright on Friday night in place of the statesmen of 1860. Chatham and Canning turn out to be Mr. Bright's " men of spirit," and by these lights of past generations he views and scrutinises the shortcomings of the pre sent Prime Minister, whose policy of wise concilia tion in the matter of the paper duties is of course branded as cowardice by the demagogue, when his ardent fancy conceived that it had discovered an opportunity for subverting the institutions of the country. A word of commendation from Mr. Bright, even for the dead who are not in his way, is like a green leaf springing up in a desert to remind the traveller of that kindliness of nature which even the most barren soil cannot wholly eradicate. But the objects of Mr. Bright's antithetical pane gyric serve to impart a dispiriting conviction of the hollowness of all good opinion on the part of the member for Birmingham, that is not self-opinion. Chatham, who threw up office because he could not follow unchecked his ambition, in his own words , bt" the ec o kit e r uo u op e ho h dn a t r h o e i w hin o h pa o ri l on e uas H t go o rn u a s t e oi tf o u f pd : e ß a f o oo u e r. r b h oicsn spirit" r l gi o t: o ” k t bh e y d e resolute opponent of Parliamentary Reform, even before the obliquities of the old House of Commons had been swept away, receives the same character from otn t hng h es e d three hrnoaresexievttyodci age,s a ft t oi e of a m nr cttthhgee e tnhceocrr con templation genera sure not much inferior to universal suffrage. mt l e V eni h np a o t l aft a ,i,osup m io e rfi d t l ,h e , y irsetpo a ri n ,ey d s einn m ti tions, Chatham, Canning, and Bright ! When, however, Mr. Bright goes on to tell us that there are two kinds of treason, of which one may cover the author of it "with lasting renown," we fear that the ghosts of his departed auxiliaries would be apt to disdain the alliance into which they are coerced. When Mr. Bright exhausts the languishing ener gies of an expiring session with a tedious declama tion against everything in general andthe House of Lords in particular, he seems to forget, first, that his harangue does not so much as pretend to have an object, and, secondly, that he is begging the whole question at issue. If the Ordnance Commit tee, instead of reporting on the Whitworth gun, were to sit upon Mr. Bright's speech, they would probably condemn •it for " wildness of ricochet." The rejection by the House of Lords of the bill for the repeal of the paper duties, which had just passed the House of Commons, was no doubt an invasion of the general practice of the Constitution. But there exists no consentient authority to prove that it was an invasion of its technical terms. The House of Lords, as we know, cannot alter a money bill any more than they can initiate the taxation of the people. But it is certainly not clear that they can not reject a money bill for the remission, any more than for the imposition, of taxation : and if their power were restricted to the registering of the financial edicts of the House of Commons, Mr. Bright would have some ground for characterising their existence as an anomaly, and taxation might as well have taken the shape of measures passed by permanent resolution of the House of Commons. The invasion of the spirit of the Constitution we take to rest in the fact that the House of Lords did virtually, though not in terms, alter a money bill. Mr. Gladstone's budget consisted of two parts—the one imposing taxes, and the other remitting them. It was generally understood that the addition of a penny to the income tax was devised in considera tion of the abolition of the paper duty. These two measures were therefore virtually one in the con templation of the House of Commons; and, if they had been both thrown into one bill, it is acknow ledged by the Lords themselves, that they must either have accepted or rejected that bill in its en tirety. But, acting on Zheir piinciple that they could reject but not amend, they adopted the one and rsjected the other. We certainly do not par ticipate in Mr. Bright's self-indulgent apprehen sions that the course taken by the Lords will give the signal for the aristocratic crusade against the privileges of the Commons with which he delights to terrify his own imagination. Freely acknow ledging that the spirit of the Constitution has been invaded, the remedy against the recurrence of the evil will obviously be with the House of Commons. When they shall in future impose fresh taxation in consideration of equivalent remissions simulta neously resolved on, they have only to make the same measures part and parcel of the same bill. There can be no passing of the one in the House of Lords without the other. But what may fairly remind us of the days of Chatham and of Canning are the public spirit and the just indignation with which Lord Palmerston repudiated those accusations of mean compromise and cowardice with which Mr. Bright wound up for the session—as we may fairly hope for the sake of public business and his own character—his nor mal aspersions on the First Minister. We trust. that we have not quite arrived at the period, so felicitously described by Burke in treating of the French Revolution, when the men reputed to be of the greatest capacity were those who proposed the most sweeping measures. But it would hardly seem that Mr. Bright has any other conception of a great measure than as a sweeping measure, or any of her notion of "public spirit" than the surrender of one's judgment and equanimity to declamation as impotent as it is passionate. Mr. Bright is be ginning to assume towards Lord Palmerston very much the relation which Mr. Disraeli in his smaller days chose to assume towards Sir R. Peel ; and we should have thought that the experience of the pre sent Conservative leader would have restrained the member for Birmingham from pursuing the perilous experiment of " knocking his head, against a brick wail." " I leave with confidence," says Lora Pal merston, "the question between the hon. gentleman and myself, in regard to this matter, to the deli berate judgment of the present time and of future ages, and I am not at all afraid as to which of us two will be deemed to be deserving of the epithets which he has bestowed on me." It is a frequent incident of the leading minds in a great country to have their views misapprehend e d f rom th e i r ver y breadth, and to see their due concessions to necessity treated as corruption and cowardice by the ignorant and the violent, who never live to learn. In past times Mr. Bright did some service to his country ; and we really grieve that he should suffer his acri mony and ill-will to blind a n d re d uce hi m t o th e level of Mr. David Urquhart and Mr. Chisholm Anstey. (From the Morning Herald.) Some years hence, when th e C omm i ss i oners o f Lunacy are going their rounds, they may find in a private asylum a patient whose "case" will admit of being described in the foll ow i ng way :—" J. 8., occa sionaly very violent ; is the victim 8f several delu sions, and believes that the House of Lords pass all their measures to ruin him, that they edit a paper called the Morning Star, paying their expenses out of his private income, and keeping him forcibly in confinement. He thinks he will soon be released by an invading Ft ench army, and he has deputed an old friend, together with an Irish nobleman who for a short time was an inmate of the asylum with him, to negotiate with the French Government for this object. He is incurable ; and the only person who has any influence over him is a clever gentleman from Oxford, who talks him into a good. humour in less than no time." The fulfilment of this prophetic an nouncement is quite within the limits of possibility. People always go mad by rule. There may be an hereditary predisposition more or less easily stirred into activity by one or more causes; prolonged grief, a sudden shock, pecuniary losses—each is a fertile originator of insanity ; but nothing is more certain in its consequences than the habit of indulging in fits of mental violence, coupled with the persevering cul tivation of some eccentric conviction. Mr. Bright, for instance, is really not so far removed from this melancholy condition as he thinks. His mind has lost a large portion of its balance ; he hugs his in juries and disappointments; he believes in the ex istence of things of which there is not a particle of evidence appreciable by ordinary senses, and uses the most violent threats. What more do we want to fulfil the theoretical condition of insanity ? We are not anxious to be personal, and will, therefore, take a liberal and courteous view of his case, and call him only politically insane, since he is probably not dangerous to his family but only to the state. But there is a Virginian maxim, about checking evil in the bud, which we heard a good deal of in our youth, and which we recommend. tto the notice of Mr. Bright. _. From one point of view day night has a redeeming the angry speech of Fri the oily and adapti ve e l ng quality; it has less oi true demagogic spirit ement, and has more of the about it than most of the harangues with Which \r. Bright indulges the house. A few mor e of these speeches and he would be almost respected again, that for once consisten and it is just possible might have a charm for the House of Commons . n t cy made to suit his o Definitions of treason, opponents, menaces the House of Lords, and . calling traitors because they differ from him, form a mucluiemore genial employment for Mr. Bright's ton g " that beneficent reign in than soft eulogies upon which we have the happi ness to live ;" and it seems curious that Mr. Bright should ever think it worth his while to be civil when civility from him has unwilling outlay of a the double disadvantage of forcing him to make an commodity which brings no return. Nevertheless, his last speech would have autumn platform, where it done better for the would have been very telling, and could not have been replied to. He would have had no one to ey, the audience, that he and not amid the cheers of is the traitor. As it is, ihe Prime Minister he can only say the same things over again, allude to the of four or five centuries in celebrated pariod which the constitution in was respected, tell of the juries sustained by par ticular interests, and the impertinent intrusions of the Excise officers, together with the other stirring details of this great paper difficulty. He has, in fact, treated the country to a full-dress rehearsal, and they won't care about the real performance •, orders," the house will be full of " rd with the usual noise and indiscriminate applause which people who pay nothing are so ready to give. Can anything be found that will have the slightest influence upon this violent member of the British him Senate ? Let us approachsoftly and take him into the midst of the domestic circle. Let us suppose a child of his acquaintance has set his little bursting heart upon something; that by steadily thinking he would like it very inuclqie has come to regard it as a right. Papa (who may -be weak and indulgent at home) says yes, while mamma, who understands th e child better, and knows what is goad for him, says no. Papa e ve ntually adopts the maternal view, and says young hop e f u l must wait till he is older. Of cour se the mo ral conditions of his little problem require that the boy should stamp, cry, he i and threaten , say that quite sure that his father and mother w ill be div,s .rced, as he has heard other wicked people are, an were asked, d that all the boys in the s p a re, if they would stand up for authority his rights and sen d p aren tal to the deuce. Would this be a do mesti c picture after Mr. Bright's own heart? Yet we are driven to believe that he would have young En gland trained in some such school as this. Fort u nately , there are men who think that there is a certain dignity in submission, whilst the spectacle of strong men shrieking help lessly for the moon, and other unattainable objects, is simply ludicrous. We have likened this paper " episode to a theatrical performance, and in repeating the illustration, we must express our satisfaction that the burlesque has ended in a fine display of blue and red fire. The spectators go home better pleased than if it had been a comedy. tamely ending in the ordinary way, with the universal happiness of every one concerned. We shall have it all over again, in some shape or other, next session ; but there is plenty of time to think about so stirring a revival. Lord Palmer ston, as manager, claims the public support, and says he has done his best to please every one. He has done very well, as all admit, and the public will always support him when he speaks as he did on Friday tight. It pleasant to see Mr. Bright quarrelling with the Ministry, because there is no better evidence that the Ministry are doing what they ought to do and what the country likes. After all, it is a mere difference of opinion. Mr. Bright, against Lord Palmerston and all the world, thinks that an appeal to the ehctors of Great Britain would have been in his favour ; but in the absence of such an appeal all the world and Lord Palmerston will remain on one side, and Mr. Bright on the other. Here, again, we come to the question of a delusion—a delusion being really nothing but a certain mental impression of a fact which is not participated in by any one else. The impression which the member for Birmingham entertains about the wishes of the English people upon this matter is not distinguishable in point of absurdity from that entertained by our patient J. B. concern ing the House of Lords and their persecution of him. It only requires a certain indulgence in these ideas, combined with a violent habit of resentment, to place them quite out or any one's control. The other supposition about the Times people frequent ing the lobbies of the house to catch members by the button-hole and ask them to protect that news paper and the English paper-makers, is a notion which would make us very apprehensive of the mental condition of any friend of ours who enter tained it. A man must be, very far gone in rabid prejudice and helplessly drugged with his own no tions to believe in or utter such fustian as this. The 'Junes newspaper has much more of the wisdom of the serpent than the harmlessness of the dove in its composition; while Mr. Bright, in the absence in his own person of either meekness or wisdom, seems to think the world can only be influenced by a purposeless obstinacy. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. The review of the Lancashire and Cheshire Vo lunteers at Newton-le-Willows, on Saturday, proved a great success. The only drawback was one be yond human control—the weather. The great diffi culty to be overcome was the placing of 7,000 men, gathered from 54 cities, boroughs, and townships, spread over all parts of the two counties to a dis tance of 40 miles, upon the field, within so limited a period as is available in an afternoon at this time of the year. The difficulty was much enhanced by the claims of the public, always put forward with out notice, and as indefinitely as possible, in about 100 different towns, to be allowed the privilege of • looking at the spectacle. The lion's share of this work devolved upon the London and North-Western Railway Company, whose line from Manchester to Liverpool, and their lines from the north and south at Parkside and. Warrington Junction, were the only railways converging to the scene of operations, and the work was efficiently and satisfactorily per formed. It is under the truth probably to say that 50,000 persons had to be thus accommodated. The Lancashire and Yorkshire, the Lancaster and Car lisle, the Manchester and Sheffield, and the South Junction and Warrington lines brought their quota of passengers, but considering that the traffic of all these companies had to pass upon the Manchester and Liverpool line to near the rendezvous, it was marvellous that the work could have been so effi ciently performed within the available time. The review took place upon the racecourse, about two miles and a half from Newton station, and the Vo lunteers and the public began to assemble upon the ground a little after three o'clock. From this time to half-past 5 o'clock, when Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. Wetherall opened the review, the arrivals were in cessant. The rains of several previous days had rendered the ground wet and uncomfortable, but up to this hour only a few light showers had fallen to check the general desire of the public to witness the proceedings on Saturday. At the moment of opening the review the spectaele presented was a magnificent one. In the centre of the ground the Volunteers were drawn up in four brigades. The second, third, and fourth Manchester regiments, 1,800 strong, covered the front, forming a line of 300 or 400 yards. In the rear of this line was the remainder of the first bri gade. In the rear of these again were massed the three other brigades, the third occupying the centre. The cavalry, 300 strong, occupied a position on the night flank to the front.
