It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, - a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a Perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the e ff ect was wanderfnl. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which ' carried oft the highest prizes had been. partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely front its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can • proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. 'All partids interested in horses and cattle will cip well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a Pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The Scottish Australian Investment Company, through their Manager at Sydney, have long directed their attention to the acquisition of Lands known lobe rich in Mineral Pro ductions. They are possessors of the various Properties men tioned in this Prospectus, upon some of which valuable de posits-of Copper and Coal have already been proved to exist but being a Company formed for the Investment of Capital and not to carry on Mining Operations, they are not in a posi tion to develop these Mineral Properties on their own account. It is therefore proposed that a new Company shall be formed, to be called, "The Scottish Australian Mining Company (Limited)," which shall purchase for the'sum of Thirty Thou sand Pounds, to be paid partly in Money and partly in Shares, with certain Royalties, the said several Properties and work them, commencing at first on a moderate scale. The Com pany will also take powers to acquire by purchase or other wise such further Mineral Lands in the Australasian Colonies as shall be deemed desirable. The following are two of the principal Properties mentioned in the Prospectus : No. 1. The Good Hope Property.—This Freehold Property comprises about 400 acres of generally good, well-watered land. It is situate near the town of Yass. There exists upon this Estate a remarkable Copper Lode, of great width, and standing above the surface in a continuous line (with slight intermission) for more than a quarter of a mile, and in some places rising above the level of the ground to the height of twenty-five feet. The lode is strong and large, and stands above the level of the River from forty-five to fifty-five fathoms. Captlin John Dailey, of St. Austell, in Cornwall, of great mining experience, has twice examined this Lode and taken out a ton or two of ore, samples of which, weighing from two to three cwts. each, are now in London. The ore is red oxide, mixed with native copper, and green and blue carbonates ; and specimens, broken promiscu ously from separate blocks now lying at the office of the Company, have been found to yield on assay the high 271, f e h , e a a n d d e t e p t e d e r ce a u n d t . d r f e o p u t o r d e copper: one o s f am 2l l , e 2 w 7 k j0 2 h 71 3 , 1r. to be assayed in the Colony yielded no less than 741 per cent. of pure copper. The ore is sinilar in character to the ore at the Burra-Burra. It will be seen that the opinion of Captain Aix ndtx Dpalley,wl fully bearsselteport outon t t h h e is u P bo r z e s r t t a y to w m i e ll u b t e s. found in the No: 6. Dartmouth.—Thia Freehold Property, consisting of 100 acres, is pronounced by H. T. Flews, Esq., M.E., who made repeated surveys of the Hunter River Coal Field, by instruction of the Manager of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Company, " the best position atta inable for commencing operations" in coal mining in New South Wales. It is situated about five miles and a half from Newcastle, and con tains, as may be learnt from Mr. Plews' Report, which is ap pended, a seam of coal, lying nearly in a horizontal position, of superior quality, and six feet in thickness at the outcrop near the foot of a hill, whence of course it can be worked without the expense of shafts, and the usual accompanying machinery. A portion of this property consists of fertile land, on which a considerable sum has been expended in bringing it into a state of cultivation and erecting a house. This property had been long under- the notice of the Ma nager of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, as a most desirable site on which to establish a Colliery ; but he did not succeed in acquiring it until June last ; and the purchase having been then made in contemplation of the immediate formation of the present Company, this valuable estate is now made over at the price at which it was pur chased, with the mere addition of a small commission and expenses. The nine other properties, believed to be of considerable value, are described at length in the full prospectus. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form. Each applicant will be required to pay .in to one of the Bankers ofthe Company Five Shillings per share on the num ber of Shares applied for, in part payment of the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share; in exchange for which a receipt will be given. In the event of the Directors allotting less than the whole number applied for, the amount paid in to the Bankers will be applied towards the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share payable on the number allotted ; but in case no allotment be made, the money so lodged will be forthwith returned in full.

Giffard was born in Dublin on the 4th of Aug., 1788, and died at Folkestone on the6th of the present month, having just entered his 71st year. His father, John Giffard, of Dro martin in the county of Dublin, Esq., a man who occupied a large space in the politics of Ireland in most troublous times. was the son of a gentleman of the- house of Giffard of Brightley, in Devon, who, going over to Ireland early in the last century as a partisan of the* de facto Lord An nesley, in the famous case of the Anneiley peerage, married and settled there. Mr. John Giffard, in the period of the Irish rebellion, and while the state trials which preceded it took place, was selected by the Government of the day for the perilous office of Sheriff of Dublin an office which he exercised With a determination and effect that ensured for him and his family.an amount of hatred from the defeated party, and from it certain section of the Irish, which has not been unfrequently displayed. Mr. Giffard's hostility to the insurgents was not abated by the brutal murder of .his second son, Lieutenant William Giffard, by a mob lying •in ambush, beta; 11-11)- was found in the King's uniform, His youngest EOl, whose death' 'we have the truly melancholy duty to-day to record, was at a very early Age sent to the grammar school of Mr. Samuel White, cele brated as having had the hollow -to have wider hivare Sherid an and Tom Moore. Atpn equally unusually early age Dr. Giffard entered Trinity College Dublin, where he aelieved all the honours of his time, and laid the foundation of that classical, learning •which he did not possess merely as an acquiremenVhitt wielded with a polder of application both severe and witty, which those, only familiar with his style could properly appreciate. In May, 1811, having gone through the usual exercises, •-Dr. Giffard was called to the bar by •the Middle Temple, and made that feint of practising which scholars and men of letters are apt for some time to attempt. He neither had the tempera ment, however, nor the disposition ,to make a successful barrister, and his logic was too close and his language too elegant for that pursuit. He gradually, therefore, neglected 1 legal duties, and devoted himself to literature, editing at this time anonymously some editions both of the Classics and of Hebrew, with which latter language he all his life kept up his familiarity, and from which he translated some episodes of the Talmud that we have seen attributed to other pens. His first engagement as a journalist he made with the - St. James's Chronicle, where, as to learning and readiness , he was not an un worthy Successor of two of his illustrious countrymen who had contributed to the same columns, Edmund Burke and Oliver Goldsmith. - His hereditary family politics and his own ability had directed to him the attention of the Irish Tory party, and he was asked by the then Primate of Ire land to some into Parliament for the city of Armagh, but declined the proposal, being always unsuited by his habits for public display, and having that shyness before an audience which arises from indulging a studious disposition. In the ,St. James's " Chronicle he continued to be a writer during . the exciting period of the trial of the Queen and the Ministry of Lord Sr mouth, at all times showing the same character of unswerving loyalty to a principle, and strongly supporting Lord Castlereagh. At length it became obvious that it was - determined to carry the measure of 1829, now called Roman Catholic Emancipation ; and the Standard appeared as the uncompromising opponent of the policy or honesty of the act, opinions which Dr. Giffard never aban doned, refusing even the solution offered by one of his most distinguished friends, fiery non debuit, factum valet. He looked upon the Roman Church as simply a political con spiracy carried on under the name of Religion, and although he bore sincere friendship, and did innumerable kindly ser vices to Roman Catholics, he gave them credit as far as their religion went for little more discrimination or inde pendence of thought in that particular matter, than if they had belonged to some of the philosophical sects of the middle ages. The Standard expressing as it did the opinions of so many in the Church and in the country, and being conducted with unexpected vigour, soon rose under Dr. Giffard's direction into an importance which made its oppo sition very serious. In fact, it expressed at the time, and that in language far above the phraseology of journals, and with illustrations drawn from a rare and general fund of learning; the indignation of the Churchmen of England at the -sordid*race for votes which had just then begun in relation to Roman Catholic Emancipation. The writings of any man, however able or learned which have for their subject the passing questions of the ' day, necessarily are of an ephemeral nature, but it may be fairly said that as regards learning, eloquence, and argument, the articles of Dr. Giffard against the bill of 1829, continued as they were throughout two or three years, have not been surpassed. in the history of journalism. The bill of 1829 was passed, and the Whigs having found the Irish contin gent ready, to- their hands, started the Reform agitation. The Standard had now another field, and the editor entered -upon it with characteristic vigour, and to his suggestions -and arguments it is not difficult to trace some of the modi fications which the bill received. In this .period of transi tion the peculiar powers of Dr. Giffard were called forth by subjects which he treated con amore. The Irish Church, of which he was for years the sole champion at the metropo litan press of England, was labouring in the distress of a tithe war, an agrarian system of massacring the clergy, and the appropriation motions of Mr. Ward. The case of that Church was stated by Dr. Giffard in the Standard, and by his friend, Sir Ifobert Harry Inglis, in the house, with a power which not a little contributed to its being saved at a time when a powerful party in Parliament were urging its destruction on a weak Administration, and when the Government depended for its own existence on the votes of certain Irish members bound to obey the late Mr. O'Con nell. At this period the conduct of foreign affairs became an engrossing subject, and the peaceable Government of Louis Philippe seemed disposed to alter its character. Tho Standard, generally admiring the policy of that King, endeavoured to allay the cry for hostilities got up in certain quarters in England, and continued to advocate with de voted ability the Throne of July, to the last prophesying that end of the republic which followed rapidly. In the controversy with the Anti-Corn Law League, and in that on the Navigation Laws, Dr. Giffard had more scope for powers which transcend mere vulgar debate. The depth of the principles involved and the extent of the interests at stake, made both these questions more the subject of specu lation than of certainty ; and the attack of Mr. Bright from the stage of Covent Garden Theatre, upon Dr. Giffard by name was sufficient proof how far the weapons of the Standard had reached the political enemy. During this period Dr. Giffard undertook for a short time the manage ment of the political department of the Morning Herald. After the sudden, and at all events unexpected, repeal of the corn laws by Sir R. P ee l, h e a d op t e d that section which looked on Sir Robert's conduct as wanting in honesty towards his own previous followers, and dealt with the event as mem bers of a deserted party will. -In the general election which followed Dr. Giffard offered himself as a candidate for the representation of the University of Dublin in Parliament, more, however, to meet a challenge than with any serious intention of sitting for the college. In the violent contests which arose on the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill he had strongly defended those corporations—more aristocra tic than commercial--which had been so long existing in Ireland. That of Dublin in particular, with which his father had been identified as its principal executive officer in times of great danger, he particularly defended, when Mr. Shaw, its recorder, had declared his intention of assenting to the bill. In this controversy Mr. Shaw had challenged the editor of the Standard to " come from behind his lair of anonymous types," and Dr. Giffard accordingly offered himself on the hustin;a of his own university, sad was re ceived by a great body of theelectors with much enthusiasm. He contented himself, however, with stating his opinions to the college, justifying his conduct on the Dublin Como' ration Bill, offering Mr. Shaw what explanation he pleased, and then retiring from the contest. From that period public questions were not of that importance that demands any very brilliant effort from a journalist, and Dr. Giffard's failing health and want of interest in questions that were not of the spirit of his time, induced him to retire from the press, especially as the journal with which his name had been se long identified was about to assume a form and sys tem more suited to . the commercial spirit of the present time. During his long and onerous newspaper labours Dr. Giffard found time to contribute to the Quarterly and Blackwood, and had projected and begun some historical works, with which we do not know far he had proceeded. One was a "Life of the Great Duke of Ormond," and one a work which he was the only man of his time fitted to accomplish, a " Vindiciae Anglican," intended to give for the first time a true account of the government of Ireland by the English. We have heard, also, that he had adventured some of that kind of historical fiction of which his friend Sir Walter Scott was the founder. • These works, with his political essays, and espedially those biographies of great men, at whose death he did so nobly and so imparti ally the sad task which we grieve to have to endeavour to do for hires to-day, it is the duty of his representatives to give the world, for we doubt if so much true scholarship and so much matured thought will soon again be expended on the pursuit of journalism. To estimate the character of Dr. Giffard would require some of the power which he himself devoted to such sub jects as Canning, or Cobbett, in the pages of the Standard. With all his sincere devotion to the Church of England he joined a Presbyterian plainness in reference to ceremonial, and though a true Tory in politics he was always careful to distinguish between an anc i ent and plebian aristocracy, and not slow to point out the faults, either of the Peerage or the Church. Half a century of daily reading, added to a memory unusu ally accurate and retentive, had.made his accumulation of ger eral learning s)em almost incredible in amount, and the readiness with which he availed himself of it in composi tion was one of the greatest charms of his writings. In the obduracy of his sympathies and antipathies in _politics he was a man after Dr. Johnson's own heart, and with him departed, perhaps, the last of the school of the Georgian political writers, who brought so great a fund of learning to the pursuit of the press. Dr. Giffard died of an excruciatingly painful disease— cancer, which ho had borne with a courage that prevented those around him from perceiving the amount of his suf ferings.

Packed in tins of about 90 feeds, lls. ;In casks of about 450 feeds, 60s, ; of about 1,000 feeds, 45, being about lid, per feed, Mr. WEBSTER presided, and having briefly ex plained the purpose of the meeting, remarked that many had supposed Mr. Williams's conduct in refe rence to Lord Palmerston was objectionable. (No.) They had now lived long enough to change that opinion. He hoped, however, as they were livine. on the eve of stirring times they would tell their member plainly what they wished him to do. A Reform Bill could not be long delayed, and it was their duty to confer with their member, let him know what he was to. insist upon on their behalf, and through him to inform the governing powers what , they were de termined to have. They must look: to measures henceforward, not men. If he were-disposed to fol low any statesman of the present day,: it would be Lord J. Russell. (Hear.) But the time was come when the people must help themselves, and not de pend upon Lord this or Lord that. The Times said that John Bright could not concoct a Reform Bill : but why not John Bright as well as anybody else ? —he was one of the people and knew what they . wanted. Mr. WILLIAMS, who was warmly welcomed, said he had invited. his constituents to meet him that he might give them an-account of his conduct in the last session, nod to afford them an opportunity of demanding any explanation they might desire. He could not suppose he had succeeded in satisfying all, and in every particular, but he was ready to give his reasons for every . vote he had given. He had not been absent a single day or a single night' during the whole session. (Hear.) They could hardly form an idea of the arduous duties of a member of Par liament who conscientiously carried out the trust reposed in him by his constituents. He had during great part of the session to be on a committee at eleven o'clock in the morning, and to remain in the house until two or three on the following morning. When the Reform Bill was carried, Lord J. Russell said that among other advantages that would fol low was the putting an end to past-midnight legis lation. But that had not been the case, and he believed that the session of 1858 was more remark able for late hours than almost any of its predeces sors of late years. He had always been strongly opposed to the transaction of the legislative busi ness of the country at unreasonably late hours, for the consequence was that important mea sures were hurried through without discussion and almost without the knowledge of members. If a few members would unite with him he hoped to put a stop to this system. The last session commenced on the 3d December, having been called together for the special purpose of passing an act to enable the Bank to set aside tem porarily the provisions of the Bank Charter Act, in order to ease the pressure upon the money market which then existed. It was somewhat curious, however, that the mere passing of thatnct had been quite sufficient to meet the object in view—the ewers it conferred never having been re sor ted to. hen Parliament reassembled in February they would recollect that the Government brought for ward the Conspiracy Act, at the instigation of the French Government, in consequence of the attack which had been made upon the life of the Emperor of the French. They would recollect that a long debate took place upon the first stage of that bill, and that upon a division 99 members, himself being one of them, voted against its introduction. (Hear, hear) They would remember the bullying tone assumed by certain French colonels and officials, and that although the Lord Chief Justice of Eng land stated that the existing laws of the esuntry were sufficient to meet the case, the Government still proceeded with the bill. Upon the second reading, however, a resolution was moved by Mr. Gibson as an amendment, which was carried by a majority of 19, and that led to the resignation of Lord Palmerston's Government. When the new Government came in their first act was to bring in a bill of the most incongruous and unaccountable character to transfer the government of India from the East India Company to the Queen. The dis cussions upon that subject occupied the greater part of the session, and upon every division which took place he was present doing . his duty, as he best could, with the view of improving the measure and making it suited for its purpose. Ultimately the Government bill was withdrawn, and another, founded upon the resolutions suggested by Lord J. Russell, was carried. And he believed that that bill, which effectually , removed the powers of the Government from the jobbing East India Company and:placed it in the hands of the Crown, would be attended with beneficial results, and afford satisfac tion-to the people of India. He (Mr. Williams) did not care what party was in power, if they intro duced measures for the public good they should have his cordial support, but if they brought in measures which he thought injurious to the country, they should have, be they Whig or Tory, his most earnest opposition. (Cheers.) Lord Derby's Govern ment during the past session had lent their aid to the passing of a bill for enabling Jews to sit in Parliament. It was a queer, crotchety sort of bill, but it effected the object in view, and placed the country:in the high and proud position that no man could be excluded from his political rights on account of his religious opinions. He was happy to say that under it Baron Rothschild had taken his seat as member for London by virtue of that bill. (Hear.) This Tory government had also given their aid to the passing of another useful measure —a bill to abolish the property qualification of members. (Loud cheers.) The immediate effect of this bill was not, perhaps, so important as the prin ciple it introduced. Henceforward any man who had a majority of the electors in his favour in any borough or county might take his seat in the House of Commons without any question as to what property he was possessed of. (Hear, hear.) He would refer to a few of the principal questions upon which he had voted during the ses sion. The first question of importance was the motion to support a commission to inquire into the state of education. Nothing was more wanted in this country than education ; but the great differ ence of opinimi that existed on the subject had hitherto prevented any satisfactory settlement of that long debated question. He hoped, however, that the labours of that commission would ere long enable them to frame a measure which should satisfy all parties—by each conceding something to the other. He supported that motion ; and he voted • for the total abolition of church-rates. (Cheers.) He voted against the motion that was brought for ward to make the landowners of the country bear the burden, because he was for the total and un conditional of the rates. He was convinced that if this impost were abolished, the members of the established church would provide ample means to maintain the fabric of the church and for public worship. Why should they not do so as well as the dissenters, who paid their clergy, built their chapels, and maintained them without any aid ? (Hear.) He voted likewise for the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. (Hear.) This was a very costly concern, and after all was but a ridiculous sham royalty, and which inflicted an in jury, as he believed, upon the people of 'lreland rather than confering any benefit upon them. lie voted for theabolition of the Septennial Act and the substitution of triennial parliaments, and for Mr. Locke King's motion to reduce the county fran chise from £5O to £lO. (Hear.) He voted likewise for that most important of all questions, vote by ballot—(hear)—without which a Reform Bill would not only be incomplete, but scarcely worth having. This was aquestion which did not affect the consti tuency of Lambeth personally, for the large menu , factoring and commercial houses there did not interfere with the votes of those they employed ; but if they went to many parts of the country they would find that a system of coercion exten sively prevailed, whereby the aristocratic land owners and the great squires compelled their tenants to vote for them and their nominees, as though a t n ela e n r t d s . ' vo H te e s l w_ et e e r d e iancttuhaellpyastt session alsohe property to abolish the protectionwhiredehh, formtemb he ers couldo notfPariia ment enjoyed from arrest for understand why l i i n am ary en e t en w r h se o owed money should be flee a member • ee fr o m o t f h e P o a r i ci of law any more than other people. (Hear, hear.) He voted several times against the pernicious measure which enabled candidates to pay the ex penses of voters going to the poll, which he thought was calculated to encourage bribery and corruption. Re made several motions against various items i n the estimates. He 'believed as many as twenty five divisions were taken against the extravagant estimates of the past session, in all of which h e voted against the Government. (Hear, h ear. ) This would give them an idea of the general character of the estimates. But he brought forward One moat impOrtant motion yfith regax d to supply, which, had it been carried, he was persuaded the consequence would have been that a large saving would have been effected in the public expenditure , without impairing in any way the efficiency of the ' public service in any department. That motion was to refer the army and navy estimates to a committee, but he was in a minority, twenty-six members only voting for it. They would be astonished if they knew how small a woportion of the money voted for those two services was ex pended in the pay, provision, and clothing of the troops and seamen. He believed that the com mittee, had it been appointed, would have struck out hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds from the gross aggregate of the estimates for the two services. They had seen lately statements of the extraordinary frauds committed in Clothing the army : - He - (Mr. - Williams) had always had an im pression, and which he had expressed over and over again in the House of Commons, that the public money was not safe—that the public ex penditure was not properly looked after under the existing system. A. committee was some years ago appointed, at the instance of Sir F. Baring, on the subject, and they found that although the expendi ture amounted • to between £60,000,000 and £70,000,000 a year, th ere w a s no effective check — no protection. They passed certain resolutions with a view to the establishment of greater se curity. ,But although the Government of the dam promised to bring in a bill t o carry out those reso-i lutions, nothing had been done. it was only just; however, in reference to the present Government, to say that they had as. yet had no opportunity of taking steps in the matter. Under the old borough-, mongering X'arliaments the army and navx_expeni diture had been much less than it was now. 11 , heat Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington were in office—the one the greatest statesman, and the other the, greatest general of modern times— £ll,s7o,ooo was found to be sufficient for the army and navy expenditure; whereas last year, under - the Government of Lord Palmerston, it, was .L 22,520,000, or almost double—in fact, upwards of £11,000,000 more. (Shame.) He was sorry to say that the Military expenditure proposed by the present Government was but very little less. Ministers and gentlemen connected with the mili tarp services were always holding up the Emperor of the French' as a sort of bugbear to justify a heavy military expenditure, on the plea that it was necessary to protect ourselves against invasion. Why, there had not been for ages on the threne of France a man more disposed to maintain friendly rela tions with this country than the present Emperor. It Was his interest to do so, and we might depend that he would always consult his own interest. In the year he had referred to, when Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington were in power, the total public expenditure was £15,730,000 less than it was under Lord Palmerston's Government last year—(shame) —which £15,000,000, had it been saved to the country, 'would have enabled the Government take off the whole of the income tax, abolish the tea duty, and the duty on malt and on hops. Tea would have been is. 4d. a pound, and good strong beer might have been sold at 2d. per pot. (Hear.) Then the present Government in their estimates this year wanted £7,500,000 more money than they did in 1852, when they were last in power, and the only explanation they gave was that they could not make reductions all at once. (Hear, hear.) These were matters it was the duty of representatives to attend to. One of the first duties of the House of Commons in. ;olden time was thought to be to hold the purse-strings of the nation, but now they seemed to think their duty was to open the purse as wide as possible. Again, with regard to the civil service estimates—in 1830, when the Duke of Wellington was Prime Minister, the total amount was £2,000,000. Last year, under a re. formed Parliament, and with a liberal Government in office, it was £6,000,000, exclusive of the expen, diture on account of the revenue, as the excise and customs, which amounted to between £4,000,000 and £5;000,000 more. If these matters were looked into as he proposed by a committe many millions a year would be saved. He brought forward another im portant motion for imposing the probate duty upon landed property, which was not successful. They were aware that every description of property ex cept land paid probate duty. When a poor man died he had perhaps a few pounds in the savings bank, the Government could send in a broker to value hip furniture and clothes, and if his whole property was worth £2O his children must pal , 23 per cent. upon it ; but if a nobleman died leaving estates worth £2,000,000, his successor did not pay a farthing. (Shame.) Was not that-abominable? (I es.) He also proposed that appropriated tithes, which amounted to a large sum, should also pay probate and legacy duty. The tithes in many parishes were in lay hands, ancidescended like other property. Why, therefore, should they be exempt from the duty ? They did now pay legacy duty, Mr. Gladstone having, but not without considerable difficulty and much oppo sition, carried a bill for that purpose. He proposed that not only those appropriated tithes, but corpo rate property, the property of universities, deans, and chapters, and bishoprics—exclusive of the bishop's income—should be subject, like other pro perty, to these charges. -He had brought this question forward several times, but he could only get 64 members to vote for it last session, and he was almost surprised that he got so many. Having been one of those who visited Cherbourg, they would expect him to say something of what he saw there. Well, he saw the whole concern —(a laugh)—about which so much had been said and talked in this country. Cherbourg was no doubt a place wonderfully fortified, but what had we to do with that ? Wu did not want to attack Cherbourg. All that was required was to protect our own coasts, and to provide for our own safety, for which he was as desirous as any man could be. (Hear, hear.) He looked at all that was to be seen at Cherbourg, but saw nothing to be afraid of. But the partisans and hangers-on of • Government were trying to frighten the people about Cherbourg, as if the great batteries there could be floated and sent against this country. But the object of those persons was to put their hands in the pockets of the people. Why, we had at Portland, immediately opposite Cherbourg and aimost in sight, a harbour that would hold all the ships of war in our navy, which might be collected there ready to destroy any force that could come from Cherbourg. The great works were still going on at Portland, and it was about to be fortified, People connected with the army and navy said that our coasts were defenceless, and that our military forces were insufficient. Why, there were 59,390 sailors and marines voted last year—the largest force we ever maintained in time of peace. For several years after the French war our force was not half that amount. If this force was properly applied no power or powers could approach our shores. They would perhaps be surprised to learn that the House of Commons voted last session for the regular army, militia, enrolled pensioners, dockyard battalions, and yeomanry cavalry, 220,000 men ; then there were 12,000 Irish police, all picked men and trained like soldiers—thus we had a force of 232,000 for the defence of Great Britain and Ireland. Besides this there were 32,000 men for the colonies and 92,000 men voted expressly for India. With such a force what had we to fear ? He did not know how many of this mighty army were enlisted, but, with regard to the navy, they had been told by the First Lord of the Admiralty that the full number was completed and something more. Now a word or two upon the promised Reform Bill. (Cheers.) He had no great faith that the present Government would intro duce any bill worth accepting ; but he was willing to see what they would propose, and support that which was good in their measure, whil e he would oppose that which he thought in jurious. He apprehended that they wo u ld enlarge the franc ise—that would be good. Then they would no doubt abolish some of ' the small boroughs. But it was to be feared that they Would give to the counties the members they took from those boroughs, and would form other small boroughs into county electoral distticts. If that was the Reform Bill of the government, they ought to oppose it, for they would be worse off than they were now. The seven constituencies of the metro polis returned sixteen members to Parliament, exclusive of Greenwich. These were returned by a larger body of electors than 285 members returned by 194 other constituencies. Was not this monstrous ? (Hear, hear.) If they added Man chester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, they would have 186,000 voters returning 22 members for the 10 constituencies, whereas there were 216 constitu encies with 180,000 electors, returning 329 members, or a majority in the House of Commons. Look at this effect. The laws which govern the 28,000,000 people of this country might thus be made by the representatives of the 180,000 electors, seeing that if they voted together they would form a majority of the whole house. Was this a state of things that ought to be allowed to rest? Some people talked of equalising the constituencies, but he did not ex pect they would be able to do that. They must endeavour to approximate as near to equality as they could. To apportion the members equally to the constituencies they ought to have 70 members for the metropolle, yfith regard to the reduction Mr. WILLIAMS explained if the house or dwell ing was worth £lO a year, a formal demand to be rated might be made, and the tenant would, the rates - being duly paid,--htrve the right of votior,. But there was some little difficulty in the way which in the new Reform Bill he hoped would be remedied. An Elector thought Mr. Williams, instead of acquiescing in the striking of 23,000 men off the effective lists of the' army, to be thrown upon the parish rates, ought - to have exercised - his' influence to reduce public salaries, so that those poor meh might have been retained in the service. (Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS denied-that any_men-hut-been reduced this year. Another Elector asked what course the hon. member had taken in regard to Mr. Ayrton's bill for the equalisation of the poor rates.- -- Mr. WILLIAMS—That bill was withdrawn before it came to a vote. Had it gone to a division he should have voted for it. (Hear, heir.), But A better bill would be brought in next yettr, which would have his support. AN-EhEePoß—To-what extent- would-the hen. member go in equalising-electoral districts? . 'Mr. WILLIAMS belonged to au association. the committee of which met last week, and entrusted Mr. 'Bright with the duty of drawing up a. Reform Bill, which, though that lion. gentleman was nqt fettered as to details, would generally embrace the principles for which that society contended, viz:, vote by ballot, triennial-Parliaments, .a more elm' division of electoral districts and £5 occupation franchise. With-such a Reform Bill he should have no fear of the widest admission of the people to electoral rights. The usual rote of confidence in the hon. mernbei• was then prOposed and carried by acclamation, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. . THE LAUNCH OF THE PARAMATTA The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have given emphatic proof of their preference of iron over wooden ships by ordering two vessels of very large dimensions from the Thames Iron Company to replace their wooden vessels Magdalena and Orinoco. It appears now to be ascertained that a much greater strength of structure can be obtained in iron ships, together with diminished cost, and more expedition in the construction of the vessel. It is asserted, moreover, that in the wooden ships of the company the full power of the engines has never been developed, and it is expected, therefore, that in the new ships to which the engines of the supei-seded vessels are to be transferred, a greater speed will be attained than has up to this time been found possible. The first of the two new ships, the Paramatta which was laiinched yesterday (having been commenced in January last), is a magnificent vessel of,upwards of three thousand tons, but look ing, notwithstanding her immense size, as -light and graceful as a pleasure yacht. Her stern is particularly beautiful, and although fastidious critics object to the form of the bow, it did not appear to us to present any peculiarity that marred the general symmetry of the vessel. The model, which is from the drawings of Mr. Rennie, naval architect to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany, bears considerable resemblance to the lines of the Great Eastern, and similar anticipations are entertained of the speed of the vessel, when once fairly in motion in her native element. The launch took place adittle before three o'clock p.m., in the presence of a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen, there being amongst the latter Captains Mangles and Whish, directors of the Steam Com pany ; and Messrs. Rolt and Ford, of the Thames Iron Company. Beyond a modest display o f bunt ing over the rails of an improvised balcony, there was no attempt at display or formality, and it was not until the vessel was actually in motion that the majority of the visitors knew that the launch was going on. The " dogshores" were knocked away with scarcely any noise, and the enor mous vessel glide I down in the most noise less and unpretending manner until just as she touched the water, when there was for a mo ment a considerable heel-over, and some apprehen sions were felt that she was going to take the water in anything but an upright position. How ever, she soon righted herself, and floated majesti cally down the creek, where a tug steamer was in readiness to convey her to the Victoria Dock. The baptismal ceremony was performed by Miss Whish, daughter of Capt. Whish, R.N., and a general round of cheering signalled the completion of the launch and its ceremonial. The length of the Paramatta between the perpendiculars is 330 feet, and her extreme breadth 43 feet 9 inches, her exact burthen 3,092 tons, and the superficial space allotted to passengers in the main and saloon decks is 270 feet. - The vessel will be barque-rigged, have paddle• wheels, and be fitted with engines of 800 horse power, the work of Messrs. Maudslay and Field, and which are to' be transferred from the Orinoco. The saloon fittings are to be in white and gold, with handsome frieze, and to comprise an efficient system of ventilation on the plan known as Robinson's patent. It is expected that the Paramatta and her consort will be the fastest vessels in the Royal Mail fleet, and, from their many conveniences and improvements, much patronised by tropical travel lers. The weather, although a little gloomy yes terday, as befitted the November season, was, on the whole, very favourable to the launch, the whole of the proceedings in which went off without tits slightest hitch, interruption, or accident. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. For some weeks a series of attacks has been made in the Times newspaper on the Directors of the Bank of England for not lowering the rate of dis count. We are little disposed to undertake the defence of the present directors of the Bank. 'There was a time when the directors sympathised with the people of England, and remonstrated strongly against the insane policy of the Peel and Overstone theorists. Of late years, however, the directors have become decidedly bullionist in their prejudices, and have evidently regarded the pre servation of their gigantic monopoly as a thing of greater importance than the welfare of the com mercial and industrial classes of their fellow-coun try-men. We leave them, therefore, to fight their own battles with their former friends and allies, the Bullionist theorists. It is impossible, nevertheless, not to be amused at the arrogant and intolerant tone assumed by the Times' writers 'on the subject of the Bank Manage ment. Peel laid it down as an essential pert of his system that the Bank should be entirely relieved from all responsibility as to the management of the nation's currency. He told the Bank Directors to conduct the affairs of their establishment in their own way, assuring them that his Acts would take tare that the affairs of the nation were properly provided for. It now seems that the theory of the Peel party, like every other principle whisk they so presumptuously laid down, is to be falsified in practice. The Bank is to be left to actas it pleases; always provided that it pleases to act agreeably to the requirements of Lord Overstone and the writers of the Times. There is apower behind the chair of the Governor of the Bank which must not be gain said. In the present instance it is not very difficult to. see to which side common sense and prudence in cline. T The bullion in t h e Bank has been gradually diminishing. B y the Bank return of last week the amount of bullion shows a decrease of £144,084, and the amount withdrawn since the return was published makes it evident that the Bank has acted with commendable caution and just discre, tion in not hastily lowering the rates of discount. Nothing can be more injurious than frequent and unnecessary changes in the rate. Had the Bank, in obedience to the commands of these self-ap pointed dictators, lowered the' rate a few weeks back, it appears highly probable that it would hare been found necessary to raise it again. The " hard calculator,' of course, rejoices in these ups and. downs. They all bring grist to the mill of Usury. But the effect produced on trade and commerce by this system of change and uncertainty is most injurious. In the meanwhile we leave this pretty quarrel be tween the Bank and the Times as it stands.
