Of the banquet itself all that need be said is that it was worthy of the company, the locality, and its traditions. During its con tinuance a selection of music, under the direction of Mr. Lockey, was performed. The presence of ladies, who assembled in considerable numbers in the gal lery at the south end of the hall, also added in no small degree to the attractions of the festival. On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal toasts were proposed: These having been duly honoured, the "health of the Prince Consort" was given, who, in responding to the toast, congratulated the company of which he had just become a member on the suc cess which they had achieved. Then followed the health of " the Army and Navy," to which Gen. Peel and the Duke of Somerset responded; and those of " the Houses of Peers and Commons," for which the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr. Disraeli respectively returned thanks. The toasts of "her Majesty's Ministers" and " Prosperity to India" . followed, and wore responded to by Mr. M. Gibson and Sir C. Wood. The proceedings of the evening closed with the toast of " the Architect," which was proposed by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and for whieh thanks were returned, amid cheers, by Mr. Angell himself, TEE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1860.

A letter from Gibraltar, dated March 21, says : —" The squadron tinder the command of Rear-Ad miral Mundy, C. 8., now in these waters, consists of the Hannibal, 91, bearing the Rear-Admiral's flag; the Renown, 91 ; the Agamemnon, 91 ; the James Watt, 91; the Doris, 32 ; the Scylla, 21 ; the Scourge, 6 ; the Vulture, 6 ; the Mohawk, 4; the Firefly, 4; the Quail, gunboat, and the Redpole, 1. The masts of the sailing sloop Arachne, 18, Com mander Mongomerie, at Devonport, have been taken out, and she is now at the Dockyard jetty. Her crew will he paid off to-day, and she will be placed in ordinary; the internal fittings will notberemoved. Greenheart timber having been used for several years with advantage in private building establish ments, the Lords of the Admiralty some short time since determined to test its qualities in the naval dockyards, and, in consequence of its extreme dura bility, length, and size, - they have now entered into a contract with Arr. Joseph Scales, of Nymouth, for the supply of 3,500 loads, the produce only of the British colony of Guiana, shipped from the rivers Essequibo and Demerara. The bark Success, Capt. Thorpe, is now discharging at Devonport the first cargo under the new contract. . A letter, dated Calcutta, Feb.ls, has been received at Plymouth from a young officer on board the Lady Ann, Capt. Sinclair, belonging to Mr. Dunbar of London. It states that that ship, after a passage of six weeks from Adelaide, had discharged, with one exception, safe and healthy, a cargo of horses on Government account, and was continued in that employ for the conveyance of 60 horses and 100 Sikhs to Hong Kong, where the troops are to be mustered. The Minden and Hougoumont, also be longing to Mr. Duabar, are chartered for the same purpose. A superior military commander was about to leave for China in a small double-funnelled screw steamer, brig rigged. Mr. Green's Agamemnon was dropping down the river with a full cargo for London. The Supply, iron screw storeship, Master-Com mander Balliston, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Malta and Gibraltar. The Howe, ship of the line, launched on the 7th inst. at Pembroke Dockyard, is in the hinds of the seamen riggers, who are actively employed in fit ting up jury-rigging, preparatory to havigating her round to Plymouth, where she will receive her engines, of 1,000-horse power, from the hands of Penn and Sons, of Greenwich. The Howe will not be ready for a fortnight, when she will leave under the charge of Mr. Paul, the Assist.-Master-Attend ant of Plymouth, who has 160 seamen landed from the Sanspareil, 70 guns. The Howe is a very hand some ship, built from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B„ and laid down during the Crimean wai., when she was put in frame by superannuated shipwrights temporarily called in. She_was then intended as a sailiag vessel, but while in frame was lengthened and otherwise altered to receive the screw ; since then she has been pushed forward with all despatch, the workmen being frequently employed until 10 o'clock at night upon her. She is now the largest vessel in the British Navy, and is larger by 100 tons than the Victoria, sister ship, recently launched at Portsmouth. The following is her armament :—Lower deck, 32 guns, 8-inch, 65 cwt., 9 feet ; middle deck, 30 guns, 8-inch, 65 cwt., 9 feet ; main deck, 32 guns, 32-pounders, 58 cwt., 9 feet 6 inches ; quarter deck and fore castle, 26 guns, 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 8 feet; pivot gun, 68-pounder, 95 cwt., 10 feet. The figure-head is a three-quarter length figure of Admiral Lord Howe, in the old naval uniform, standing about 15 feet in height. The following vessels are now in the steam basin a t Portsmouth, receiving their machinery ; Vic toria, 121, screw; Prince of IVales, 131, screw; Duncan, 101, screw; Sutlej, 51, screw; and Rinaldo, Nelson, 91, screw; Immor talintec,allsl, screw; 17, screw. A letter received at Plymouth from an officer belonging to the Donegal states that she, w ith the Royal Albert, the Aboukir, and. another, was appointed to leave Lisbon on the 26th inst. to take a short cruise, and to arrive at Plymouth about the sth of April. In consequence of the reduction in the estimates voted for the forthcoming year a large number of the hired artificers and labourers not forming the permanent establishment of Woolwich Dockyard, are ordered to be discharged, at the rate of 35 per week. The permanent establishment, exclusive of the factory department in the dockyard, consists of a total of 1,322 men of all classes, and the hired establishment 950, consisting of shipwrights, caulkers, millwrights, painters, [sawyers, smiths, plumbers, labourers, &c., 450 of which are ordered to be discharged. Notwithstanding the reduction, the following. are ordered to be commenced as soon as the necessary vacancies ecrur in the building sheds :—A 91 screw line,•of-battle ship, to be named the Caledonia, to be built on the slip at present occupied by the Anson, now under construction ; two screw steam corvettes, 13 carry 21 guns each, to be called the Alligator and the Ontario; and a gun-vessel to carry six guns. A portion of keel to commence the Caledonia is already in hand. The hired transport Nautilus yesterday went alongside Woolwich-pier; and commenced ship ping an 18-pounder battery for Bristol, and will fill in with merchandise 'rom the docks, after which she will ship ammunition and stores for the service of the battery. The royalist and the Robert also hauled alongside the pier, and commenced shipping war stores.

Artillery Company, on the occasion of his Royal Highnus the Prince Consort, Captain-General and Colonel of the corps, visiting the Clothworkers'-hall yesterday. THe field officer and adjutant in waiting were Major Robinson and Capt. Brinewood Potts. ROYAL VISIT TO TILE CLOTH WORKERS' COMPA NE A banquet on a grand scale, at which his Royal Highness the Prince Consort was a guest, was last evening given by the Master and Court of Assis tants of this company. The inauguration of their new hall in Mincing-lane furnished the occasion ; and of this fine edifice itself it may be not unac ceptable to our readers that we should give a brief description before alluding more particularly to the ipstival by which its career in the annals of civic hospitality was commenced. ' Tho new hall stands upon the same site as the ancient structure, which was purchased by the re presentatives of the company in the remote days of Henry VI., and which was, at the time of the great fire of London, rendered somewhat remarkable as forming the utmost boundary on that side of the city to which the conflagration extended. " Strange it is," writes Pepys, " to see Clothworkers hall on fire these three days and nights in one body of flame, it being the cellar full of oyle." The building which thus comes in for notice in the quaint and amusing diary of Pepys--himself a clothsvorker—was not, however, completely de stroyed. The hand of the renovator was applied to it, and the old hall restored has for some two cen turies been the scene of the charities and the hos pitalities of the company. It has in its turn given place to a structure better adapted to the require ments of the present day. The new ball, which has only just been erected, is one of the finest of which the city can boast. Boldly carved enrichments adorn the facade, which is of the Italian style of architecture of the Renaissance period. The arms of the company surmoint a lofty portal, with bronze gates in the centre. This leads to an arched cor ridor and vestibule, which form the approach to the entrance and hall, over the doorway of which are four relievi, executed in Caen stone, by Mr. C. Kelsey, representing the attributes of the company j' oyalty, Integrity, Industry, and Charity. From the era': nce hall—from which it is partially sepa ed columns—springs the grand stair rated by conk_ case. On each sit:; of it on the ground floor are the several offices of the comt'anY he culinary departmentfor the purpose of busi ness. This floor contains also s s i —essential portion ofa civic hall— on I he construction and arrangement of which no orditOT amount of care and skill has evidently been bestowej• At the foot of the grand. staircase are two bronze s:iffins, admirable both for execution and design, the wo: 11 of Mr. Kelsey. On the first landing are to be seen the Royal arms in alto relievo, and in all the pro priety of heraldic emblazonment. A lofty pen dative dome surmounts the staircase itself, which Dads to the piano nobile, where, as in Italian palaces, are the State apartments. Here are to be found the reception rooms of the Livery, and a draw ing-room for the Court of Assistants and their guests. Here also stands the banqueting-hall, the chief feature of the building. It is a room of noble pro portions and perfect harmony of design. In ex treme length it is 80 feet; 40 feet wide, and 40 feet in height. Corinthian engaged columns of Aberdeen granite, highly polished, and resting on granite pedestals, with a stylobate of richly-veined Devon shire marble, divide it into five bays at the sides and three at the ends. Above the entablature sur mounting these columns is an attic, from NfiliCk springs a coved ceiling. Of this ceiling the cove is pierced with semicircular windows, filled in with stained glass, in which are represented the arms of the 12 great city companies, beautifully execated by Mr. Lavers. Female figures in ilto relieve, emble matical of 12 of the principal commercial cities •f the empire, adorn the spaces between these win dows. On the north end of the hall are two niches one of which holds a statue of James 1., who was a member of the company. In the other stands the statue of King Charles, his son. Both being ex quisitely carved in wood and richly gilt are among the chief ornaments of the new, as they were of the old hall. Five large windows filled with stained glass, on which are emblazoned the arms of some of the more prominent of the members and benefactors of the company, occupy the east side of the room. In the list of those whose memory is thus per petuated are the names of Samuel Pepys, who was Master of the company in 1677, and who pre sented them with au elaborately chased silver cep, said to be the work of J3envenuto Cellini; of the Countess of Kent, Lady Ann Packington, Lord Lynedoch, the late Sir R. Peel, Mr. Justice Willes, Sir J. Musgrove, Alderman Humphery, and others. The general effect of this portion of the building is somewhat like that produced by the gallery of the Hotel de Ville, in Paris. It cannot, however, as yet be seen to the utmost advantage, as the completion of the gilding and enrichments of colour with which it is proposed to adorn it has been postponed to a future day. It nevertheless, even in its prsent unfinished state, reflects the highest credit upon the professional ability of the architect, Mr. Samuel Angell, who has not only constructed for his brother Clothworkers a ban quctting-hall imposing in appearance, but has se cured the additional success of having rendered it in point of acoustic capability all that could be desired Here the Master and Court of Assistants of this ancient company, whose charter of incorporation dates as far back as the reign of Henry IV., as sembled last evening to dispense to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort and about 150 other guests that hospitality of which by no means for the first time Royalty has partaken. A guard of honour, consisting of a captain, a lieutenant, and 100 rank and file of the Hon. Artillery Company, of which the Prince is Captain-General and Co lonel, were drawn up outside the building to await his coming and lined the corridor through which he had to pass. His Royal highness arrived shortly before seven o'clock. The Master (Mr. C. J. Bloxam), accompanied by the wardens of the company, received him at the portal. Thence he was conducted through the entrance-ball—which was profusely decorated with flowers and brilliant with lights —to the reception-room, where he was presented with the freedom of the Livery, and the one name more was added to the li s t of Royal Clothworkers. This ceremony ha v ing been con cluded his Royal Highness proceeded totheban quetting-hall, where a numerous company awaited his arrival.

Sidney Herbert, the Secretary of State for War, has recently issued a circular em bodying a Royal warrant, wherein it is announced that it has been deemed expedient to extend the grant of medals without gratuities to meritorious and well-condacted soldiers who have fulfilled the conditions of the Royal warrant of the 13th of Apri1,,1854, but who are precluded from becoming recipients of the medal with a gratuity in conse quence of the aggregate amount to be annually awarded being already appropriated. It is deter mined that medals without gratuities, in addition to these already authorised, shall be granted to such soldiers, whether sergeants, corporals, or privates, as may be selected by the commanding officer for them, on the same conditions Sts regards the qualifi cations of the persons to be recomn: ended in the fold lowing proportions in each to cash cavalry regiment and battalion of the ilitary Train, 2 ; to - each brigade q Royal Artillery, 33 to every 900 men of the Royal Engineers, 3; to each Infantry regiment or battalion, 3. It is further stated that " non-commissioned officers and men who may be qualified before discharge shall be eligible to receive medals without gratuity, if re commended by their former commanding officers within three years after their discharge." Non commissioned officers on the permanent staff of the militia who were eligible previously to their dis charge from the army are also eligible to receive medals without gratuities; and no limit is to be placed on the grant as regards the date of discharge in the case of men so serving. The Under Secretary of State for War, Sir Ben jamin Hawes, has recently issued a circular memo randum, promulgating the new rates of personal allowance for officers and other members of the War-office, and in the -civil establishments at out stations, not within the provisions of the travelling warrant dated December 23, 1657, of which the fol lowing is a copy:— " The Secretary of State for War has decided that, in lieu of the rates of personal allowance at present fixed for the respective ranks of officers and clerks belonging to the department when ordered from their homes on public duty, one uniform rate applicable to all classes (except as hereafter provided for the clerks, and,appointments of lower grade at out-stations) shall be substituted, and as this allowance should be no more than suf ficient to provide for the actual and necessary ex cess of expense of living awa g y from the usual place of residence, he has approved of the rate being fixed at 16s. a day, from the Ist of April, 1860. " A further allowance of 4s. a day will be ad mitted if the officer is accompanied by a servant, and his rank entitles him to take one, or if the duty upon which he is employed obliges him to travel with one. " Half the daily allowance is to be charged for the days of leaving and returning home, unless the duty is coma►leted in two dap, when an allowance for one day and a half will be granted. " When the duty is completed in the same day an allowance of 83. is to be charged if the officer travel a distance of not less than 15 miles from his home ; if the distance be lest than 15 miles 4s. only will be allowed. " It is to be distinctly understood that this regu lation is intended to apply to all persons bolding appointments, both at the head-quarters of the War-office and at the out-stations, hitherto in re ceipt of a higher rate of personal allowance than 16s. a day. " The uniform rate thus fixed is also to be con sidered applicable to all officers, whether civil or military, travelling upon the continent of Europe or iu the United States of America, hitherto al lowed special rates for personal expenses exceeding 16s. a day. " The rate of 15s. a day heretofore allowed to clerks and others holding appointments in the manufacturing and other civil establishments at the out-stations, having been considered in reference to the rate of 10s. a day granted to clerks of equal or approximate grades serving under the several mili tary storekeepers, whose travelling allowance is fixed by the royal was rant of the 23d of December, j 1857, No. 204, it has been determined to remove the distinction which exists between these classes re• spectively, and the rate to be charged, therefore, in the travelling accounts preferred by all of these classes for service performed subsequent to the Ist of April, 1860, will be limited to 10s. a-day, with half and quarter of such rate under the conditions provided for in that warrant." Another *Waterloo officer has been removed by death, making the fifth recorded within the last four weeks. Col. Sir T. Noel Harris, K.H., died at his seat in Kent, on Friday last. The deceased officer was born in 1785, and was son of the late Rev. Ilamlyn Harris, rector of Whitehall, Rut landshire. The gallant colonel served in the cam paigns of 1811, 1812, and 1813 fn the Peninsula, during which he was in constant active service. In the autumn of the latter year he served with the allied armies in Germany and France up to thesur render of Paris in 1814, and was present at the bat tles of Grossbergen and Denncwitz, and the battles at Lcipsic of 16th, 18th, and 19th of October, 1813. ' He passed the Rhine with the army under Marshal Blucher in the January of the succeeding year, and was present in all the battles and engagements up to the capitulation of Paris. The late Sir Thomas Harris served in the campaign of 1815, and was pre sent at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, at which last battle he lost a limb, and was otherwise severely wounded, and had two horses shot under him. For his military services he was made a Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Order in 1830, a n d was knighted wv. ••••• ....•••••-•.,, Ovj ....., N‘,10.1 j V& 0 , ,1.160 for Ilium, COKING EVENT'S. As to the Treaty, the shift which has occerred iir i our attitude towards France will not affect it very much. There may be a few persons who were not persuaded of its incalculable mischief, and who may perhaps be convinced by the last phase of the alliance ; but the majority of the public have long regarded it as the greatest state blunder of the age, and a fresh illustration can but make them more intimately acquainted with its actual and possible consequences. All that can bo done is to take care that Ministers are not guilty of any unprincipled conciliation or friendly reaction for the sake of gaining an advantage which either the letter of the Treaty or the peculiar inclination of the French Government does not accord us. An assent to the document implied a considerable sacrifice on the part of England, which has been justified upon the plea that it is the destiny of this country to lead the forlorn hope in the attack upon the fortress of European protection ; and, therefore, it will not be a surprise, though it may be extremely irritating, to find that France has advantages which will not fall in our way. It is much better to bear with dignity and inde pendent spirit the misfortunes which Mr. Cobden and the Government have brought upon us, than to get rid of them by accepting graceful acts of conciliation and liberal interpretations of unfair clauses at the hands of the owner of Savoy. For our part we believe that the Emperor of the French will take the anger of England with perfect good humour, and will volunteer a friendly development of the Treaty as though nothing had happened. He and his Ministers want a rest, and will take a ' nap after the Savoy business is settled ; it is, there fore, not to their interest to prolong an irritating discussion with England. This policy, which is so obviously on the side of the Imperial interests, will admit of two other interpretations, either of which will be current in certain political circles here and in Europe. It will be intimated afresh that the annexation of Savoy is eminently excep tional. The French Government will appeal to the future (a court. which has the great advantage in doubtful cases of not being in existence) in sup pni.t of its moderate views, and will, moreover, ex presS itself penetrated with the desire to be on friendly terms with England, and to maintain those frank reit;tions of which the Treaty is so sub stantial a guaranies. Another explanation will be that France is tod powerful to be moved by the anger or remonstrance of any power on earth, and she therefore maintains lwr own policy, and a haughty silence into the bargaLl• It is most unlikely that the French Emperor will not be moved by the moral resistance he is meeting with from both the Ministers and the people of this country, and that he will not do, in his on:i queer way, all he can to p rev. nt France from bein g brcoght into contact with an European combination ; but it a false calculation of the cards which he handles with some dexterity should launch him into collision with o or three States, he would probably consider that the honour of France, which would in such a case be tantamount to his own interests, required that the risk should be run and war declared. A great deal of unnecessary praise has been lavished on the talents and resources of Louis Napoleon. But granting that such successes he has attained to could not have been secured by a fool, it must be remembered that he is placed outside the law of man, and apparently has not been placed under the action of a higher law. He is• not even actuated by the common scruples of irresponsible sovereigns, and seems, in deed, to be amenable to no scruples of any kind, while his whole mind is occupied in intriguing for himself or for France. It would be strange, indeed, if with these conditions a man did not make a show of success and dazzle the world by a display of power and. influence seldom seen. If the police of the metropolis were to be quietly put out of the way, and the householders of London were busy looking after their own security, Bill Sykes and his crew might for a night or two act the part of Lord Mayor and aldermen with complete success, an d e t lne at the Egyptian Hall in the greatest pos sible splendour. Such a game would be worth any amount of candle. We should admire their courage and audacity, but the " distrust" which their pro ceedings would create would be very great, and might make the City members anxious to consoli date their connection with the respectable members of society.—Morning 'Jerald.

I n future passeng by way of Calais will be relieved of the unpleasantness of being com pelled to land by small boats when the tide is low, a beautiful little steamer will make the transit be tween the vessel in the roadstead and the port, and vice versa. The new daily service will secure the arrival in Paris every evening of the London morn ing papers of the current day. That is to say, so far as distribution is concerned, 14 hours sooner than at present. It is probable that Brussels, Antwerp, &c., will desire to avail themselv'es of this advantage, and will require that their portions of the English morning mail for Belgium shall be despatched by way of Calais, instead of waiting till evening the mail by way of Ostend. The Mysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully developed by Mr. F. H.

As compared with t,/ year, there wer e m ore th an 1,500 cash 8 ailtins rather more than 1,100, and more than 1,500 lives lost against 340. The violent gales at the end of last October and at the beginning of November were the chief agents in this excessive destraiction of life and property. In the storm or hurricane of October 25 and 26 there were more than 130 wrecks and BO casualties resulting in serious damage, and 800 lives (minus two) were lost, the wreck of the Royal Charter alone causing nearly 450 deaths. The losses in November were also far above the average, and as many as 480 souls perished in : two vessels alone—in the Pomona at the end of April, and in the Blervic Castle in the middle of December last. Such are some of the details of the reports of wrecks and casualties lately published by the Board of Trade. This report contains a new feature, in the shape of a memorandum on the gales of October and November, from the pen of Rear-Admiral Fitz roy, the chief of the Meteorological Department. Unfortunately, this memorandum is not accom panied by any diagrams, which would have made it more intelligible to the reader than it now is. It appears from the observations made at lighthouses and various other observatories that the storm of October 25 and 26 was a complete horizontal cy clone. The area of its .sweep was scarcely more than 300 miles in diameter, and as it travelled northwards, it affected only the coast of France and the breadth of our own islands, exclusive of the west of Ireland. The central portion of the storm advanced at an average rate of about 20 miles an hour, from the south-western part of Eng land northward and eastward to the North , Sea. Thus, when the Royal Charter was wrecked, Aber deen and Banffshire were not disturbed , by the wind ; but when it blew hardest on those exposed Scotch coasts, the storm had abated or almost ceased in the Channel and on the south coast of Ireland. So much for the general movement of the storm. The actual velocity of the wind, circling as it were against the motion of watch-hands about a small central "lull," varied from 40 to 80 miles an hour. North-west of the centre the wind " backed," shifting round from south-east, through north-east and north to north-west; and, in a cor responding manner, eastward of the centre, the veering was from east, through south-east, south, and south-west, to west. The storm of November 1 was of a similar character, except that its central portion passed just to the west of Ireland's south west coast, and thence northwards. From these observations, and from scientific considerations respecting equatorial and polar streams of air, some plain and practical conclusions are drawn by Rear- Admiral Fitzroy. The first and most important is, that in a gale which seems likely to be near the central part of a storm, which should of course be avoided, a seaman facing the wind knows that the centre is on his right hand in the northern hemisphere, and on his left in the south ern, and he is, therefore, informed how to steer to avoid danger. The next valuable result i 4, that telegraphic communication can give notice of a storm's approach, and vessels in ports hundreds of miles distant from the part in which it is rs ging at a certain moment may be forewarned as , oner than by the alterations in the barometer and ther mometer. The third deduction is that all. high winds move in directions more or less curvilinear, not in permanently straight lines. Further,, very strong gales are not only very much curved in. - their progress, but they are more violent as the eircles diminish in diameter towards a central lull or sud den shift, and weaker as they increase in ditty neter and recede from it. These conclusions may be of great practical use to seamen. It is true that they scarcely merit the title of laws, in the scientific sense of the word, but even as contributions of science they are of the utmost importance. In a subject like meteorology, in which so many causes are at work, co-operating and conflicting with one another —causes, too, that depend not merely on the phenomena of this earth itself, but on general cosmical arrangements—in such a subject it in only by the slow and laborious collection of numerous observations, by the tedious path of accurate, and painstaking, and long-continued induction, that we can hope to arrive at any large body of scie itific truth. In the physical sciences, at least, it a eems to be the rule that empirieal generalisations 'shall come first, to be afterwards confirmed and expls tined deductively. In meteorology, as formerly in a stro nomy, we must have inquirers performing the functions of a Kepler, inferring general ruins by induction from the observation of particular phut's mena, before a Newton comes to give their infe rences a new value and a scientific character by deducing them from higher and more universal laws.—Post. DEPUTATION TO SIR CHARLES WOOD ON INDIAN FIBRES. Yesterday afternoon a deputation waited -upon Sir C. Wood,!at the India House, for the purpose:of procuring his assistance, as the Secretary for Lodia, in obtaining a supply of Indian fibres for thestaple manufactures of the United Kingdom. Thtsjepu tation was understood .especially tiz.rmesent the Oriental and Colonial: Cotton, Flax, and nihres Company. It was introduced by Mr. W. Ewart, M.P., and comprised Mr., Wyld, -M.P., Mr. Brad bury, Mr. Bashford, Mr. Bonney,- Mr.- Ilolroyd, Mr. Spensley, Captain Strickland, Mr. Ariiivismith, and Mr. Hardwick. Mr. Ewart opened the subject by remarking that he believed the reason why he had been selected for that position was, that he had been some time ago the chairman of a committee of the House of Commons, which bestowed a great deal of atten tion on the question of the development of Indian resources. The principal object of the deputation was, he added, to exhibit some specimens of Indian fibres, out of which paper and various textures might be manufactured with advantage, and to ob tain such assistance from Sir C. Wood as, in the capacity of Indian minister, he could render—of course solely on public grounds—in the proccuring an adequate supply of useful materials for English manufactures. Mr. Spensley then produced several specimens of Indian fibres made from the rheea, the aloe, and the pine apple, and explained their various peculiari ties. Among the articles exhibited were fibres, dressed and undressed, thread for making lace, dyed thread, plush, a lace covering for the shoulders, and paper. Sir Charles examined them all very attentively, and entered freely into conversation with regard to their origin and adaptation. In reply to the right hon. baronet's inquiries, it was stated that the Punjaub was a very prolific source of supply as regarded the rheea, and that jute, of which there was in this country a very great scar ' city, might be obtained thence in abundance if there were but adequate facilities for its exporta- tion. It having been stated that it was the communi cation by w ay of the Indus which especially re. quired improvement, Sir C. Wood observed that a good harbour was already being constructed, and that everything that was practicable was being done by means of rail roads and in other ways to facilitate the convey ance of Indian produce westward. To the remark of Mr. Spensley, that an impres sion prevailed that some difficulty was being inter posed in England, Sir Charles replied that he was not aware that such was the case, adding that the Minister for India naturally desired to develop it resources, and thereby to improve its revenue as far as possible. A Member of the Deputation said the company represented had orders for 50,000 tons of Indian fibre to be supplied during the next year; and for 100,000 tons to be supplied in each of the five sub sequent years—a statement which the right hon. baronet received with satisfaction, on account, as he said, of the benefits which it promised both to India land to England. The deputation then withdrew. tatiN=Mii 'OW. ,w. TS.
