We have all of us probably in our domestic matters known the case of a decent servant's fancy ing that he could better himself, trying then fortune for a year or two, and afterwards but too glad to return, if permitted, to the old master—in the case of a female servant, frequently, to stay till she had to nurse her master and mistress in their old age. Whether this result were antici pated or not, no prudent master would try to re tain a servant who thought he could advantageously shift for himself. We would strongly advise Mr. DISRAELI to adopt this rule of common prudence. If the BENTINCICS, and CECILS and WHITESIDES think they are the men to lead the House of Com mons, to beard the: Speaker, to delay business with endless twaddle, and all in contempt of their leader's policy, let them try it awhile. Nothing bnt the dear school of experience will do for a cer tain class of persons whom we forbear to designate more precisely—it might not please them. We are quite sure, however, that the trial of a session or two, as Jonathan phrases it, "on their own hook," would soon teach them the necessity of begging their old leader to resume hie post. We regret, therefore, that Mr. DISRAELI should allow himself to be, as he apparently is, dragged along by the Tory zealots and the more mindless but timid ones who follow them. His policy an nounced on the bringing in of the Reform Bill was the only one consistent with the honour, and, we believe, even with the interests of the Opposition. Their honour certainly demanded that after having themselves brought in a Reform Bill—one so near to the present one that we, and other Liberals, thought it ought to have been allowed to go into committee by our own party—they should not factiously obstruct a bill like the present one. Their own bill differed from this on two points chiefly, in regard to both of which, as was acknowledged by Lord DERBY, the country was against them ; and which they had avowed their readiness, if they continued in office, to concede. We do not see how a great party making any claims to public confidence could with decency take any other course than that proposed by their leader. Th 9 general sentiment, every one will remember, when the bill was first produced was, that it was so very like its predecessor, and admitted, by the addition of " fancy franchises," of being made so much more like it, as to preclude all Tory opposition. Mr. DISRAELI, therefore, in ac cordance with this general feeling, announced his intention not to make any amendment on the se cond reading ; he even thought, that he might not attempt any thing serious in committee, but that he should throw on its authors the responsibility of the whole measure. Had his counsel been followed, his party and the house would have been spared the degradation of the first six nights ite ration of :common place arguments, and the last two nights equally useless and obstructive talk. Hardly, however, had their far-seeing leader an nounced a policy for his party, but one rudely denies the right of the front benches to bind those behind them ; and another, only too glad of an opportun i ty of pouring forth his Irish oratory, announced that almost half a hundred speakers must have their say, on a motion, indeed, but one on which no divi sion was to be taken. Not business, but talk, was the word of command from these subalterns who had discarded their chief ; and such talk !—talk, obviously, for the mere purpose of obstructing busi mess. Now it is quite surplusage of party loyalty Ichich can consent to say the best for all this, as Mr. DIKR.AELI did last night. He well knows that his - followers are dama g ing themselves ; he should let them do so. They will but too soon find that he was right ; while, by consenting to give them his ...........-------------- _ countenance, he but prolongs the reig n of misrule with the hazard of sharing in the discredit it brings on all concerned. His first frmpressions were right, not only for the honour, but for the future prospects of his party. Can they be so blind as to imagine that oppositior , to Reform— come how and when it will—after five announce ments from the Throne—after both ti'ie great parties in the House had brought in Refoi m after they had ascertained so much common ground for both sides—can they really imagine that the country will ascribe their conduct to any but the un worthiest motives ? It will be said, it is said, that they were willing enough last year to accept reform for the sake of keeping in office, but that this was the only reason ; that they hated reform while professing to support it, and that now they have not a sufficient sense of decency even to preserve-appearances. Again, Mr. DISRAELI, and we believe Lord DERBY too, clearly see that to keep the Reform Question unsettled is to keep a useful card in the hands of their adver saries. Once get rid of this subject, in a way which must last some time at least, and Tories, as in 1832, accepting the result, would only have to trim their sails to the change, such as it might be, and devote themselves to strengthening their position by the requisite tactics. If the Tories, and those who are thoroughly with them iu heart, the old Whigs, who only nominally belong to the Liberals, should succeed in getting the bill withdrawn for the session, it will be by a proceeding which will sink their public character for a long time to come. The QUEEN, the members of successive ministers, and the House have all become pledged to reform our representation. A bill is brought in so very moderate, that it were hopeless to expect one making less change in the representation, the real fear being that it makes so little as to endanger something more being soon attempted. The leader of the Opposi tion sees all this, and wisely bows to necessity ; and yet, against their own Ministry and against their own leader respectively, Anti-Reform Whigs and hot Tories continue to defeat this bill. But the worst is, they dare not do it like Englishmen. They accept the principles of the bill without a division, because they dare not vote against them, but they interpose a mudbank of useless speechifyin g to delay its progress. The time comes when they are called on to go into committee, and when they might face boldly its principal clauses—but still they skulk from the stand-up fight, and talk again, without stint, on going into committee. We do not recollect anything more shabby in Parlia mentary history. Dunces are now at a premium in debates, since they can talk if they can do nothing else—and that is all that is wanted. There is no real motion to be considered—no business to be done ; the only thing wanted is to wear away the time. Privates of all sorts are trotted out to do their part—speakers whose speeches it is useless to report because no one would read them ;—it is, in fact, the battle between Duncedom and Reform. Now, how long is this to go on ? We trust Lord PALMERSTON'S coming out so ably last night is an intimation that he does not mean to be beaten. Both he and Lord J. RUSSELL spoke admirably to the main point, and we do not think they can afford to yield. In a straightforward conflict with the Op position, under the only general qualified to lead it, they might have been vanquished even without loss of reputation ; but to be run down by a crow who have just run away with theio own leader will be a disgrace not easily to be retrieved. Was it not SIDNEY SMITH who wickedly main tained that it required a surgical operation to get a joke into the head of a Scotehman ? And might we not, with a far greater show of reason, insist that it requires nothing less than some such opera tion to force a real and obvious metropolitan im provement upon the acceptance of a Chief Commis sioner of Public Works ? There is that little opening into St. James's Park at the corner of Spring Gardens ! How long have we been hop ing and hoping that it might be widened from a wretched little flagged footpath between two walls, into a broad carriage way leading from the Mall into Trafalgar-square ? How often in these columns have we not argued in favour of opening at this point a noble entrance into St. James's Park ? It was here, indeed, that it was proposed at one time to build up again the Marble-arch at the time of its removal from the the central point fronting the facade of Bucking ham Palace. The vicinity of the Edgware-road, however, was deemed a site in every way more suitable ! - It stands there now—that useless but beautiful Folly of the " First gentleman in Europe"—cheek by jowl with a little historic slab announcing to her MAJESTY'S lieges—' Here stood Tyburn Gate." Nob and Snob, arm in arm, were nothing to such a contrast as that. It is as the carriage of a peeress in her own right, with a lozenge on the panels, and JAMES and CHAWLES on the footboitrd with their Drawing Room nosegays, their heads powdered with an extia shake of the flour dredger, and their silken calves in a state of more than usually glossy protuberance---it is for all the world like some such superlatively Corinthian " turn-out" by the side of a costermonger's tray upin wheels— that Marble Arch standing by the side of the grim memorial tablet commemorative of the spot once hallowed by the caudine-forks passed under (vainly for reprieve !) by every doomed hero bound for Tyburn gallows! However undesignedly it has sprung into existence—it is a contrast that preaches perpetually and unceasingly (mid way between Mayfair and Tyburnia) to the old text of ranitas Vanitatum. Other than for which, there is no earthly use whatever (not even that appertaining to an appropriate ornament) in any way at all discoverable in that Carrara Folly of our Fourth GEORGE—serving only as it does to mark the contiguity of " stony-hearted Oxford street," and the dilapidated Edgware•road. It is only exasperating, in fact, to think, now when it is too late to remedy the matter, that the one op portunity was wantonly lost—that the only appro priate site was absurdly rejected, by availing our. selves of which betimes we might have really turned that Marble Arch to some advantage. Even now that site may, for a comparative trifle, be turned vet to some good account —meaning the point we have here already indicated —namely, the corner of Spring Gardens ! When—after the demise of the late Earl FITZ HARDINGE—oId Berkeley House was razed to the ground, and the fragments of it were carted away for what it was worth, as so much rubbish ; when the Board of Health (determined at last upon vacat ing their temporary and insalubrious retreat in Gwyder House upon the banks of the 1 Names) bought the plot of ground once occupied by Berkeley House, and there set about raising for themselves a permanent residence—the wcrk of reconstruction was wisely commenced a foot or two further back, so that the little paved pathway leading into St. James's park was secure at least of b e i ng so f ar w id ene d . B u t it now turns out that there, o n the opposite side of that still nar row pathway, stands a tenement that is Crown , property—a house now let, it is true, but with no more than eleven years of the old lease yet to run. THE SUN, LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE $, Here obviously, therefore, is another opportunity ! Nothing could well be easier than at once to avail ourselves of it. Buy up the remaining eleven years of the lease ; raze the house now standing there to the ground—sweep down the garden wall at the back—and there is at once a direct thoroughfare, a carriage road, with pave ments on each side of it, sweeping from Trafalgar- square (between DENT'S and FARRANCE'S) into St., James's-park, right up the whole broad avenue of the Mall to Buckingham Palace. Here it was, at this favoured spot in Spring-gardens, that might so well have been placed the Marble Arch, as before observed, and, as we well remember, we ourselves at the time energetically insisted. That opportu- tunity has unhappily been lost; but at any rate now we may (if we will) secure to the capital the advantages that must inevitably accrue from the opening of this suggested thoroughfare between St. James's-park and " the finest site in Europe." The " ease" such a road as this would ensure to the traffic along Pall•mall, particularly in the eastern portions of Pall-mall, at the extremities of Water loo-place and the Haymarket, scarcely requires a syllable to be written in the way of demonstration. It is objected to this that it would be to St. James's park itself an absolute disadvantage. If the propo sition were for the opening of a road for traffic across the centre of the Park, we could certainly more easily understand the force of any such objection. A notion was mooted very recently for the open ' ing of just such a road as this across Hyde-park from Bayswater to Kensington—and in regard to that proposal we certainly can well appreciate the force of the arguments used against the adoption of the intended design—desirable as such a channel of direct communication would unquestionably be be tween Bayswater and Kensington. But with refe rence to the proposed line of communication by way of The Mall, the position is wholly and entirely different. The carriage road, already there, is immediately under the walls of the gardens of Carlton-terrace —it runs along the extreme northern edge of St. James's-park—it interferes not in any way with the Park itself. Besides this, The Mall, even as it is, is so wide already as to admit easily of subdivision, of any moderate sub division that might be deemed desirable. There are three or four distinct avenues along its whole length. The outer one might remain as it is— namely, as the carriage way—the one adjoining it might be set apart, as Rotten-row is, for the use of equestrians—the remaining width being reserved as at present, up to the very railings of the Park, for foot-passengers. Whatever is done in this matter, however, supposing the traffic to remain rigidly restricted, even as it is now in its present sweep round through the Horse Guards into Par liament•street, or supposing it again to be opened as at Buckingham-gate to cabs as well as to pri vate carriages—the road itself ought certainly to be continued right on into Trafalgar-square through that corner of Spring-gardens. The house we have intimated ought to have the eleven remaining years of its lease bought up, and ought then to be destroyed. Let Mr. COWPER reconsider the case before setting it aside altogether. It would enable him effectually to further yet more what he has alreae 094 -o well commenced in the instance of the Serpeare--namely, at one and the same time the 'rnprovement of the metropolis, and his reputation as Chief Commissioner.' d PAPER DUTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sitt.—Favour me with a short space to suggest, through your journal, the importance of submission to the Powers that be ;—the Lower House to the Upper House, and each to the Crown. And if the authority of any is to be over thrown or diminished, let it be so carried out in a spirit of frankness and singleness of soul for the benefit of our country; not by exciting the animal propensi ies of huma • pity. It is true that the house of Commons broke faith with the country- T yes, betrayed its trust when it specified a time for the 1 eome-tax to be non es t. We take it in the {„ i light of a pte l f . ; and pledges, we all grant, should be ob served. Tha_ this was not duly abided by, we have the startling eviden.? - C in paying more this year than hereto fore ;—not tlia.,t - any loyal subject would for a moment object to pay a just tax for the honour and glory of our land, ' and her great and free constitu tion, but justice, ought to be commensurate with strict morality. No wonder that the Upper House should therefore be careful and suspicious, and make an attempt to save, if possible, the honour of a great nation. Had this tax been remitted, such a step would have been received in due course, without any veto from above. I do, however, presume to observe, that there are taxes this very day weighing far heavier on the working classes than the paper duty. Why should not financiers in their fiscal re searches discover, and attempt at all events to remove the burdens that more immediately affect the sons of toil ? Although, Sir, I am as anxious as any man for know ledge to have free course, yet it must be granted that a paper now sold for a penny could be sold at little, if at all less, were the duty taken off. The chief gainer would be the manufacturer, and he would prefer, instead, the in come-tax being withdrawn. Tho Commons made a mis take. I marvel that Mr. Gladstone thus erred. The wrong class was looked after in this matter. I fear there was a pandering to party in search of support to carry out views kept in reserve. A free and great people should be straightforward and candid in word and-deed. To achieve the daring attempt of a new Constitution, be it far distant from our day ! England has become great, glorious, and free; why then attempt to dispute the unity of the prero gative that has so far blessed her and her children through out the world ?—I am, Sir, your faithful servant, PERICLES. June 6, 1861. OPENING OF THE NEW FOOTWAY AT WESTMIN STER-BRlDGE.—Yesterday morning the temporary wooden bridge or footway over the central arches of Westminster Bridge, to enable the entire removal of those arches and faci litate the works of the new bridge, was opened for general traffic, but solely confined to foot passengers. A grand ball is be given by the Apollo Univer sity Freemasons' Lodge, Oxford, on Monday, the 18th, at the Town-hall, to his Royal Highness the I rince of Wales. There will be no tickets issued, it being purely an invita tion ball. We understand that the Most Worshipful Grand Master and a number of other distinguished brethern have acztepted invitations to be present. —Freemasons' Magazine. The Committee of the House of Commons yes terday rejected the bill promoted by the London, Biighton, and South Coast for the construction of a line to connect the Brighton with the South-Western and North-Western Railways, and passed the opposition bill promoted by the London, Chatham, and Dover. The latter measure in cludes the extension of the London, Chatham, and Dover, to Farringdon street. REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENCES BILL.—We understand that an amendment will be m o ved this evening in the House of Lords, in committee, to clause 12 of: this measure. The object of the amendment will be that the new houses to be licensed under the bill should, like the existing public-houses, be placed under magisterial control.—Morning Advertiser. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, June 7.—Admissions on Fitment, 2,326; ditto, by season tickets, 552 ; total visitors, 2,872. FICTITIOUS BILLS.—It was recently mentioned that fictitious bills aro being put into circulation on the Continent, purporting to be payable at some of the London joint-stock banks. Another has just been presented, dated Stettin, May 22, 1860, for £l5O, drawn by C. Maurice on Samuel Montage, accepted payable at the Union Bank of London, and endorsed S. Collen. The acceptor's name, Samuel Montage, t ondon, is made to appear like that of Samuel and Montagu, a respectable and well known firm. It was announced yesterday morning that a fusion has been arranged between the influential banking firms of Messrs. Roberts and Co. and Sir John Lubbock and Co. On the 30th of Juno Mr. Weguelin retires fom the former in consequence of LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANK.—Mr. Pollard, the general manager of the London Joint-Stock Bard , , - signed yesterday on a handsome pension, after 21 years' service, and will be recommendt d to fill the vacancy at 'he Board caused by the decease of Mr. Ormsby Gore. Pre v . iously to his connection with tae Loneo i and Joint-Stock Bank Mr. Pollard had been 27 years iu the private beeek of Messrs. Williams and Co. STF:ASI NAVIGATION OF THE AMAZON —The Inca paddle-wheel steam vessel, of 400 tons, and 100 herse power, built and fitted with machinery by Messrs. John Laird, Sons, and Co., left early in May for Para. Accounts have been received of her safe arrival at St. Vincent, Cape Verd, after a good passage, and having consumed less than eight tons of coal in the 24 hours. The engines of this ves sel are fitted with many improvements for the purpose of economising fuel, an object of the greatest impo rtance OR the river Amazon, as well as on all foreign stations ; and the result of her voyage out has been looked to with con siderable interest. The exchange on St. Petersburg has experienced an advance at Paris and elsewhere, on a report that anoth r endeavour is about to be made to introduce the long con templated Russian loan.

L A 1 1 E S nl N E Th , ) following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : VIENNA, JUNE 7. The Austrian Government, with a view of reor ganising the representative system of the provinces, is about to extend the authority of the Central Con- gregation in Venetia. A decree will shortly be published granting to the same a deliberative instead of a mere consulta tive vote on a large number of administrative ques tions. The decisions of this congregation will become law on being signed by its President. As regards the judicial affairs on which the con gregation can now only decide in a subordinate capacity, it will in future fulfil its functions with out any further appeal. The only reservation made in favour of the Cen tral Administration is the approbation of the pro posed expenditure, and the revision of the provin cial treasury accounts. In order to re-establish the national character of the municipal system in Venetia, all the franchises and immunities granted by the patent of April 26, 1815, are to be confirmed. THE WAR IN SICILY. It was believed in Paris yesterday that hostili ties will not be resumed at Palermo. The autho rities are engaged in devising the means for pre venting the further effusion of blood. It was on the 30th of May that General Letitia, delegated by General Lanza, met Garibaldi on board the Hannibal, English man-of-war, and de clared that he was charged to demand an armistice. The conditions which he proposed were : The retention of their respective positions by both parties. 2. Liberty to attend to the wounded, and to remove them on board the fleet. 3. Permission to supply provisions to the Hos pital for the poor. 4. That the municipality should address to the Royal Commissioner a petition for the con cession of such reforms and institutions as might be necessary for the country. The first points were consented to by Garibaldi without difficulty ; but he peremptorily rejected the fourth, and the conference was broken off. Nevertheless, hostilities did not recommence on the following day, and the armistice, which was fixed to terminate to-day, was still under discussion. The Patrie of yesterday says that, according to the latest despatches, nothing had changed at Palermo. The capitulation had not yet been signed. Garibaldi had constituted a Ministry, and had appointed a governor of Palermo and of tho province. He had likewise ordered an extraordi nary levy, and had issued many decrees for ener getically carrying on the war. One of Garibaldi's proclamations threatened with heavy punishments those who should commit thefts or assassinations. A letter from Turin, in the Siecle, states that M. Canofari, the Neapolitan Minister at the Court of Piedmont, seems to perceive that the affairs of his Government are in a very unsatisfactory state, and that he is not likely to remain long in his post, as he is selling off his furniture. It is reported that during the negotiations about the armistice General Letizia proposed to take the opinion of the senate of Palermo, and that Garibaldi answered, " I am the Senate." The following telegram has been received from Turin, dated the 6th inst. : " GENOA, JUNE 6 " General Letizia, who was the bearer of orders to General Lauza not to treat with Garibaldi, but rather to destroy the town, left again for Naples on Sunday. It is believed his mission is to make representations caused by numerou4 desertions, and on the refusal of the troops to fight:" We have been favoured with the following from Messina : "MESSINA, JUNE 2. " We are expecting every moment news of the fall of Palermo. Yesterday a Royal steamer came in from Catania, bringing the remnant of the garrison of that place, whence we conclude that all was up with the Royalists there.

TIIE GREAT EASTERN.—An instance of the thorough seaman-like bearing of Captain Hall, the suc cessor to the much-regretted Captain Harrison, in comman I of the big ship, when in charge of the general screw steamer Crcesug, is deserving of mention. On this occasion the Crcesus had 170 passengers, and was on her voyage between England and Australia. Meeting with an accident, a sur vey took place at Sydney, and there being no dock that she could go into, Captain Ilall built a caisson round her stern, and started afresh upon the voyage. The injury being, however, very far beneath the reach of any one, for four months and twenty days the crew had to pump incessantly; and to add to their perils the screw was lost, and the vessel was lett with adverse winds at the mercy of the waters. Aided by the purser, Mr. Cox, the passengers were kept in ignorance of their danger, and this officer sat at the piano, sang, read, and otherwise amused the company as though it had been a party of pleasure rather than a run for dear life. The ship was ultimately brought safely into port, and then it was discovered that her stern must have shortly parted entirely from her hull; and now, in after years, the captain and Mr. Cox find themselves on board the Great Eastern in the same relative situations. The latter com menced his career as purser on board an Indiaman ; he was afterwards on board the British Queen, then the larget steamer that went to America. He was subsequently in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. as superintendent purser of its fleet in Calcutta, and during the Crimean war he held all the contracts for victualling the troops for the Crimea. THE EINE HOUR S' 1110KEIFIENT. An unfounded rumour is abroad that the Mair chester Unity of 0:ld Fellows has actively inter• fered to assist the workmen in the case of another lock-out. The fact, however, is that at the annual meeting at Shrewsbury last week one of the oldest laws was simply amended. It provided that no member should be allowed a " travelling card" (being a passport for him to claim assistance in any district), if he was out of employment through a strike. The object of course was to prevent the society being used as a means of support in objec tionable combinations, and to make the matter more certain, a reason was added to the law in these words :—" Trades' Unions not being coun tenanced by the Order." In practise the law was never applied to deprive any member of benefits if he was the innocent victim of a strike, but as there was a doubt in the minds of some officers a propo sition was legally brought forward and discussed for making the rule plain. Many deputies spoke against its being altered in any way so as to encourage strikes, and none more strongly than Mr. Charles Hardwick, of Preston (author of "The Manual of Friendly Societies"), who, from the ex perience of his own town, was able to offer some valuable remarks. It was unanimously agreed that the Manchester Unity should, as a friendly society, remain strictly neutral in any dispute between masters and workmen; and the 233 d general law, as amended by common consent, now reads :—" That no member shall be allowed a card who has lost his employment through engaging in a strike or turn-out for wages."

INAUGURATION OF THE RUST OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN PAKINGTON IN THE MUSEUM OF HASLAR HOSPITAL. The bust of Sir John Pakington, executed by Marochetti, and subscribed for by the medical offi cers of the navy, was placed in Haslar Museum on Tuesday last, in acknowledgment of the great ser vice rendered to the medical department of the ser• vice during the administration of the right hon. baronet as First Lord of the Admiralty. There were nearly 100 persons present, including Cap tain Superintendent the Hon. Geo. Hastings, th( medical and other officers of the hospital and their families, the medical and other officers of the fleet, the Baron Marochetti, and the deputation, consist ing of Dr. Nelson, R.N., Dr. Rees, Deputy-Inspec ter-Geueral, Dr. Beith, R.N., Dr. Dobie, and Dr. M'William. After the deputation had been formally intro duced to the Captain Superintendent by Dr. Nisbet, the medical inspector-general of the hospital, Dr. M' WILLIAM delivered an address, in the course of which, with reference to the selection of Hasler for the reception of the bust, ho observed — In requesting permission of my Lords of the Ad miralty—a permission which was most promptly and courteously granted—to place Sir J. Peking ton's bust here, we considered that nowhere was so appropriate for its reception as Hasler Hospital, the chief of naval hospitals, an institution momover associated with some of the greatest triumphs of nautical medicine. It was hero that Lind, justly designated by Sir Gilbert Blane, " the father of nautical medicine," sent forth a century ago some of those remarkable works which, by first clearly pointing out what attention to the simple laws of nature could effect, contributed so largely to the health and comfort, and consequently to the effi ciency, of our seamen, and gave a high place among the benefactors of mankind. It was here also that, some years later, the able, energetic, warmhearted, but ill-rewarded Trotter, physician to the fleet under Lord Howe, gave to the world those plans for sanitary and administrative reform which have proved of lasting benefit to his country. Seldom have such talents, combined with so much zeal, been devoted to the public service as were those of Trotter. A main object of his life finds emphatic expression in the dedication of his " Medicina Nautica" to Earl Howe, admiral, the flag officers, captains, and other officers of the fleet —" It has been my wish to make the duties of the medical profession subservient to the comfort and happiness of men that have earned laurels for you, and given security to their country." To have been the means of raising the health of our navy from the lowest standard—a standard which long made a ship of war an object of aversion to seamen—to a degree which has no parallel among any other class of men ; to have enabled the Channel Fleet, whose very existence was at one time endangered by the terrible ravages of scurvy, to keep at sea in a state of health and high efficiency at a moment ous period in the history of this country ; to have laid down a health system adapted to all time, to all classes, and to all climates, are no mean titles to glory; and that glory, so honourably earned, pos terity has awarded to the illustrious names of Lind, Blane, and Trotter, whose peers in their own de partment—when we except Sir John Pringle and Jackson in the army—none of our public services have produced either before or since their day. Coming down to later times we have the honoured name, the reputation, far beyond European, of Sir John Richardson—the undaunted traveller, the man of science, and the skilled and humane physi cian. This museum, where he long and usefully laboured, is of itself a monument of his devotion to those branches of science which he illustrated. And did it not misbecome me to speak of those still in office and authority, I could with great advantage to my case dwell upon the high professional attain ments, the long and eminent services, the rare ad ministrative power, the untiring solicitude for the welfare of the service throughout, which charac terise the present director-general, and which, as they have beneficially influenced the past, augur favourably for the future of the department. I might advert -to such names as Lord Brougham and the Duke of Richmond in the Lords, and Boldero, Wakley and others, in the Commons, who have benefited the service by their advocacy of the cause of naval medical officers. It will, how ever, be sufficient if you will bear with me while I bring before you in a few words those statesmen who, while holding the office of First Lord of the Admiralty, thought it not unworthy of them to in quire into the condition of the medical department, and make such changes and improvements as the occasion demanded. And prominently in the fore ground of such a view stand the first Lord Melville and Sir John Pakington. The bust of Lord Mel ville, executed by Chantrey, was placed here by a generation of our brethren now almost passed away, commemorative of him who, as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1805, obtained an order in council for the medical officers, which in that day was properly regarded as the greatest boon that had ever been granted them. To Sir Francis Baring and Sir Charles Wood, who in 1850 and 1855 respectively held the office of First Admiralty Lord, the grati tude of the medical officers is also due for the im provements effected in the department while under their rule. Those who read the warrant of Lord Melville of 1805, and that as well as the speeches in Parliament of Sir John Pakingt o n, in 1859, will find a remarkable identity of object and purpose, even of the language used on the two occasions, and certainly an identity of view as to the course to be taken in respect to the medical officers. Both statesmen in framing their respective warrants, ap rear to have considered it quite as much a privilege as a duty in endeavouring to provide for the case of our gallant sailors, subject to all the horrors of war cs well as to the baneful influences of climate, me dical attcsidance not inferior to that enjoyed by the civil portion of the community. They were, in fact, actuated not alone by the comparatively narrow mo. tive of advancing the medical officers in rank, privi lege, and emolument, but also by the higher consi deration that the just elevation of those officers was conducive to the well-being of every other class of officers, indeed of the whole naval service, and con sequently of this country, which in the hour of need looks to the navy as its rosin protection. For these reasons it has seemed to us that this bust of Sir John Pakington, executed by the Baron Marochetti, and alike admirable as a 'work of art and faithful representation of the right hon. baronet, can no where stand so appropriately as in the museum, in companionship with that of Lord Melville, who, like himself, was an eminent benefactor of the medical department of tho royal navy. Captain HASTINGS said it had afforded him much gratification to be present at this inauguration, and quite concurred in what had fallen from Dr. ' M‘William with respect to Heslar being the most appropriate pl ace f or the bust of the right hon. baronet. Dr. DOBIE, in thanking Captain Hastings for honouring the occasion by his presence, hoped that, if not contrary to the usage aid rules of the service, he would be so kind as to convey to my lords of the Admiralty the sincere acknowledgments of th© deputation for the courteous and prompt manner in which their lordships had acceded to their request to place Sir John Pakington's bust where it now stood, to which Captain Hastings replied that he should comply with the request of the deputation. The bust, which is a beautiful work of art, and a most faithful representation of Sir John Pakington, was much admired by all present. It stands upon a pedestal of red granite, upon which there is an appropriate inscription. Dr. Nisbet entertained a party at dinner, which included Captain Hastings, the Baron Marochetti, and the deputation. TILE FAT3L LIFE-BOAT DISPUTE AT YARAIOUTH. A brig was on the sands within three miles of the shore at Yarmouth, in that tremendous hurricane which will make the 28th of May, 1860, memor able in the register of storms. The lifeboat was got out with sufficient promptness ; but the beach men whose appointed turn it was to man her, and the coxswain appointed to take permanent charge of her, disputed on his right to command the boat —the men would not go with Milligan—Milligan would not quit the boat—and a precious hour was lost in the squabble, which ended in the beachmen quitting the boat, Milligan remaining without a crew, until a lieutenant and some men of the coast guard and a few volunteers joined him, and they put to sea. But it was now too late. The brig had drifted too far into the breakers to be followed, ac cording to the evidence of Lieut. Petts ; and strange to say, they could see no persons on board ; the boat rode at anchor for hours at some distance from the brig ; the thousands on the beach saw the crew, supposed to be eleven in number, climb the rigging and wildly gesticulate for help. Between one and two o'clock—that is, about four hours after she struck, the ship began to break up, and one by one the poor fellows were swept from the rigging till the masts went over, and ship and crew had dis appeared. Milligan and the men who rem ained on shore agreed that but for the delay the crew of the brig might have been saved. Mr. Palmer, who presided at the inquiry before the Lifeboat Com mittee, threw the primary blame for the catas trophe on the appointment of coxswains ; and, by a strange piece of reasoning, made the Board of Trade answerable for these appointments by the National Lifeboat Association, because the Board of Trade rewarded the ,men for their exer tions. But whether those appointments were right or wrong—whether Milligan's claim to the com mand of the boat was well or ill-founded, is nothing to the purpose. Men were perishing within view—was that a time to settle rival pretensions ? If the desire had been to save life and not to win reward, would not the Yarmouth men have acted more like those of Ramsgate, who, arriving too late, threw their waterproops to the men in the boat, who were without them ? Would not Milligan have yielded to the entreaties of those on the shore to quit the boat, or would not the crew have sub mitted to his direction ? To every cry of "It is my right, "It is our turn," the answer was " But men are perishing !"—Bury and Not ?vial Post; e THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat came fresh to hand to-day, coast-wise and by land-carriage. The atten dance of buyers-was only moderate, yet factors, generally, were firm in their demands. Good and fine samples moved off freely, at very full prices ; but low qualities commanded only a moderate attention. The imports of foreign wheat are over 10,000 quarters ; but the supply on offer was by no means extensive. The trade ruled steady, but by no means active, at full quota tions. Floating cargoes were held for more money. The barley trade ruled firm, at very full prices. Fine malt sold steadily, other kinds slowly, on former terms. Although the supply was good, oats were steady in price; but the demand for them was by no means active. Beans, peas, and flour commanded extreme rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheit. Barley. Malt. Oats.

LIFE BOAT.—Miss Burdett Coutts has presented the port of Silloth with a life-boat, carriage, and equipment complete, through the Royal National Life•-boat Institu tion. The advices from Mexico yesterday show that the Church party are determined to make new efforts for the retention of power, as they have succeeded in enabling their protege—the gambling adventurer Zuloaga, to over throw Miramon and reassume the Presidency. THE GREAT EASTERN.—It is understood that the day of sailing of the Great Eastern will not be adver tised until after the trial trip, which is to take place on Saturday. Her paddles were tried on Monday last, and her paddles and screw together on Tuesday, and the run on Saturday will consist of twelve hours' full steam down Channel. The New York pilot has arrived, and is on board. The day of sailing is not intended to be later than the 23d, and will probably be earlier, as it is desired that the vessel shall be at her New York moorings in full time for the cele bration of the 4th of July. A Transatlantic firm is said to have (iffered to hire the vessel PA- exhibition at New York fora month certain, on terms t l aat would secure a dividend of o per cent. to the company, with a percentage on the re ceipts, if any, exceeding the ti&xed amount to be paid for.hsr use. The proposition, hey/ eyer, has been declined.
