LONDON, Mattilulated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary /Wernher of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, 'Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man- Lood and prematUre decay at all stages of life , than , p e r ha p s, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there ace principles of personal management which cannot be violated vitheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret aaeceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe balties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be k 'elnoved, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of s cience Cannot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTILE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. 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 effect was wonderful. 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 agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we a r e fo rc ed to the conclusion tha t its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NEW NOVEL BY MR. J. E. READE.

The lead was taken by the Pride of the Thames, so rapidly that at Searle's they had got into the second best station ; Hammersmith, second in the lead, fell into the third posi tion, with about a length between each. In 200 yards Maucliezter had come up with the Pride of the Thataes, and a clipping race was maintained for a quarter of a mile, when the winners began gradually to draw away, and, never being neared, won easily. The contest for the second money was very fierce, and from Craven Cottage to near Hammersmith-bridge, the Hammersmith crew had rowed so gallantly that they went by their opponents, and became second, heading Manabester, at Chiswick Eyot, by half-a dozen lengths. The Richmond crew were all along a capital fourth, but could not overhaul the aorthcountrymen. THE FUNDS. 3 per Cent. Consols, 904; Ditto for account, 10th September, 961 -g ; New 3 per Cent.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO IRELAND. During the noble viscount's stay in Dublin, he made a rapid inspection of his improving estates in and around the city. Accompanied by his agent he proceeded alone Cabra and the North Circular-road, and viewed with much appa rent satisfaction the number of elegant buildings that have lately been erected on this part of his property. His lord ship was then introduced to Dr. Boake, one of the most thriving tenants in the neighbeurhood, after which he in spected attentively the new terrace in course of erection at Manor-street, called Temple-terrace. Having expressed himself gratified at the manner in which the building had been executed, and very graciously taken his leave of Dr. Boake, his lordship drove on to Chapelizod, and visited the mills of Mr. Dargan, the scene of the recent fire. After spending some time in traversing the principal part of his extensive estate in that direction, the noble lord continued his course round through Rathmines and Donnybrook, and returned to town highly pleased at the many evidencess of an improving spirit which everywhere met his view. RUMOURED 'VISIT OF THE HON. S. H. WALPOLE TO METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. THE HAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at noon, in the Council-chamber, for the purpose of further considering the main drainage of the metropolis—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The meeting was very fully attended. The following report from the committee of the whole board on the subject of the main drainage was presented : "1, Greek street, Soho, A.:g. 11. " Your committee have, in obedience to the reference of the board of the 3d instant, considered the plans for the main drainage of the metropolis presented by the board td the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c. Your committee have also conferred with Messrs. Hawksley and Bazalgette, Mr. Bidder being absent from London, on those and other plans, and your committee have come to the con clusion that the principles of drainage recommended in the report of Mcs5.TA. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazalgette are those most suited for the requirements of the metropolis. " Your committee, therefore, recommend that the board should without delay instruct the engineer to report as to the order in which the several parts of the works recom mended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, II nwitsley, and Bazalgette may be most advantageously and conveuien.ly carried out. " Your committee further recommend that the engineer be instructed by the board to prepare specifications for car rying out the several works set forth in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazalgette, commencing with those parts of the works which the engineer considers to be most urgeut. ' And your committee further recommend that the engi neer be instructed by the bO-t.rd to prepare plans for and to report to the boar.l as to what advantages may be de, ived by having the outfall on the south side of the liter Thames on Greenwich marshes, providing in that case for deodoris ing the sewage continuously throughout the year. All which your committee have to submit. " J. THWAITES. " WILLIAM CARPMAEL. " PHILIP CRELLIN." Mr. CARPMAEL moved the adoption of the report, and adverted at some length to what had been done for some years for the removal of sewage from houses; but in doing so they had largely contaminated the river Thames. That was the only expedient then open to them; but now, In consequence of the increased powers conferred upon them by Act of Parlia ment, they were called upon to do away with that nuisance by a system of intercepting sewers. That remedy was to be obtained by the plan proposed by Messrs. Bidder, LI awksley, and Bazalgette, which was calculated to remove the sewage to points on both the north and south sides of the Thames, so far removed that the sewage should be no nuisance and not come back again within the limits of the metropolis. He then generally combated the objections which had been urged against the plan, and particularly referred to one as to a pro vision only having been made for a population of three and a- half millions. He said at any future time, if an extension of the plan was required for an increased populaticn, that could be effected at a comparatively small expense, and con tended that it was not the duty of this board to make provision for a state of things which might arise at some very distant period. Ile concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. CRELLIN, although desirous of seeing the sewage of the metropolis altogether abstracted from the river and ap plied to useful purposes, seconded the motion. His object was to afford some remedy to the present state a the sewer age of the metropolis. Mr. LESLIE said he was anxious not to take up the time of the board, but still he was utterly unable tosay what ihe o p u la t il b an e y fo c r o e n t i l l j e e e in tio w n as v.. , with h n d e e a e c d i i o t t u h ' e a r s . a s H er e fe of e s ontpelnadnesdevith t that the calculations which bad been made by the engineers were erroneous, and urged them to delay the execution of these as work i s a i f se o r s a te t p i m t h e e , n u t t a l k ti e l n they g t b t b a e i n e fa d ta further i e n x f t m e n a t e l e o n ot ,. that board. He contended that the pumping siations, re servens, • &c., we re altogether unnecessary, and sa id that in Paris the whole evil from sewage was met by negative artesian wells, placed under the municipality of that city. He alluded to the hospital at Bieetre, where a negative artesian well was constructed in 1790, and it had gone on working satisfactorily up to the present time. These wells nine also formed at the laystalls of Moutfaucon, and although a number of horses were slaughtered in that diArict, the whole of the refuse from the knackers' yards were passed down negative artesian wells, got rid of, and filet without any nuisance to the wells sunk in that neighbourhood for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants with water. This plan was supported by Mr. Hyde Clarke, a civil engineer, and be was also supported by M. Buchatel and other eminent French engineers. If this plan was adopted in the metro polis, it would save a large amount of money, and would also avoid the necessity cf breaking up the public streets. lie concluded by snoring as an amendment " That the Metropolitan Board of Works come to no decision upon this subject until the evidence upon the geological di ainage of the metropolis be received by the board "—one important fact being, that at an expense of £330 a negative artesian descent for foul water has been made 234 feet in depth, which Las been discharging at least 2,700 cubic feet per hour. Mr. Alderman CUBITT hoped they would cane to no conclusion upon this subject before the adjournment for the holidays, and said that, as their office had been at work for years upon it, the public could we afford to wait for two or three mouths to enable them to receive further in formation. 111 r. BENNETT did not think the board could be charged with precipitancy, as the scheme, wit t► few exceptions, had been for two years - before them, and during that time it had been well sifted, both by the board and also by the engineers, to whom it had been submitted by the late Presi dent of the Board of Works, Sir Benjamin Hall. He hoped the board would not adjourn until after the subject for the main drainage bad been disposed of, or was in some pro gress. After a few words from Messrs. D'IFFANGER and OPPOR, Mr. CARPMAEL replied in a few brief remarks. The CHAIRMAN put the motion, and on a division it was carried by a majori►y of 19 to 1.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin has announced his intention of entertaining Mr. Bright and the principal officials con nected with the Atlantic Telegraph Company at a banquet in the Mansion-house. His Excellency the Lord-Lieu tenant has graciously accepted an invitation to be present on the cecasion, and the Ist of September has been fixed for the purpose. This is a demonstration which will meet with the cordial approval of all clams in the city. Such public recognitions of the services of mep of Mr. Bright's stamp are praiseworththy. . They are stimulants to, greater exertions in the cause of science, and in the ptesent instance the honour could not be more worthily bestowed. This briquet will also be a graceful feature in the Lord Mayor's official career, which Is now nearly closed, and from his an tecedents there is every reason to expect that it will not starne the great event it is to commemorate. MURDER NEAR LISBURN. On Monday night a very melancholy occurrence took plrce at Ililden, near Lisburn, County Antritn, which in a few minutes after resul ed in the death of one man named Owen Hughes ; and axother, named Kelly, is not expected to live an hour. Two men, named John Martin and Alexander Martin were immediately after arrested for the murder. The particulars of the sad affair are as follow :—Hilden is the place at which the Messrs. Balfour's spinning mill is situated, and in the neighbourhood there are several rows of neat brick houses, occupied by the mill workers. Monday night astrolling fiddler happened to pass along the roads play ing some tunes, and a number of the young men, employed in the mill asked a Mrs. Burns to allow them to bring the fiddler into her house and have a dance there. She consented, and a dance was accordingly held. Next door to the house in question the prisoners and accused—the two Martins— resided,' and it seems that when the hour became late, about eleven o'clock, the elder of the Martins objected to the dance being continued any later as he had to be up. early next (Tuesday) morning to go to his work, and wanted to sleep. It appears Martin proceeded to the watchman at the mill to get him to clear the house of the dancers, and when the latter heard of this they left the Louse and gave up the dancing, lest Mr. Barton night hear of it and be displeased. As they were leaving the dance-house they met the elder Martin coming up he row in his shirt sleeves. The first man that he met with was James Kelly, and Martin, with an oath, said that he would put an end to the dancing. Kelly and Martin then struck at each other, and the younger Martin came up, ran at Kelly, e n d stuck him. Kelly shouted out that he was stuck, and lay over against the wall. He walked in for a little time into one of the houses in the row, and was subsequently re moved to his own residence in the County Down on the other side of the Lagan, about a quarter of a mile from the mills. At about the same time one of the Martins got into hold with Owen Hughes, and in a moment he also shouted he was stabbed, and was taken into his own house in the row, where he died in less than an hour. An inquest was held on the body sf Owen Hughes on Tuesday, before Mr. J. K. Jackson, c oroner , an d a respect able .jury, in the office of Messrs. Barb our , a t Kild en, w h en the facts above stated were given in evidence. The depositions of Kelly had been taken by Mr. Gregg, J.P., as it is feared the man will live but only a short time, and in these depositions the dying man states that be struck John Martin, and he believes it was the younger Martin who stabbed Ro l n t i a m n a c y a b t h e t l n i c e s n , t w io h n i e le d e a t pr to n se e rs a t ;ir the r d o a t e n: all the witnesses for the Cro w n d e p ose d th a t there was no party feeling in the matter. Dr. J. Campbell, of Lisburn, deposed that he was called t e a n were ts; but on to visit Hughes and Kelly. Arrived at about 12 o'clock on Monday night. Pound Hughes dead and cold. He had received a stab which passed into the chest. It was a tri angular wound, more like a bayonet wound than that of a knife. The man could not have lived after it. The wound Kelly received was a stab in the navel. He had hopes that Kelly would live. Head-constable Stafford said be got one of the Martins in bed and the other up in the hou.se. Searched the house, but found no weapon in it. The result of the inquest has not yet been published. At the last assizes several of the judges found it necessary in their charges to deplore the fact that stabbing was now a prevalent crime in Ireland. Their strictures on the coward liness of using the knife wire very pointed; but they have not had the effect, it seems, of diminishing this continental vice. - - - - LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. iasn paid,d editor. ha 1 purcha sed haslii hitherto e t :L e been conducted by Mr. Bagshaw , Q.C., and Cardinal Acton, Bart., proprietor ßart. it Wiseman. Sir Dublin m .! n .R h .neviAe THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The special correspondent of the Freeman newspaper continues his interesting narrative in this morning's impres sion of that journal. The following portion of his com munsal ication contains so me particulars well worthy of peru:— " Mr. Whitehouse and Professor Thomson, the elec tricians, aided by M r . B artholomew, the superintendent, and an efficient staff of clerks, are engaged night and day in communicating w ith the electricians at the other end of the line, and receiving from them ship signals' in reply— in fact, a current of electricity continues to pass without intermission along the wires. As I stated in my first letter, I do not think it is possible to have full communication with America before a fort night at least at the earliest; and, in all probability, the delay will extend to* three weeks. This should not cast any doubt upon the success of the cable, or dis hearten the public, who have looked forward to its ac complishment with so much of interest and anxiety. It must be remembered that the arrangement of the batteries .is one of great labour; that the electrical instrument is extremely elaborate; and that it took Mr. Whitehouse, aided as he was, and having every appliance at his baud, three weeks of incessant labour to get matters into working order here. At Newfoundland many of the facilities which were found in Valentia do not exist. I un derstand that the instrument house was scarcely finished when the Niagara anchored in Trinity Bay • and, under these circumstances, the arrangement of apparatus will necessarily occupy a considerable time. The delay which must ensue before a message can be transmitted from America to Ireland was foreseen from the first by the ma nacer of the expedition. Through the courtesy of Mr. Whitehouse, I have had an opportunity of seeing the instru ment at work: In addition to the prearranged signals, Mr. Whitehouse has transmitted several messages to which he bas received intelligible replies. Thus, he has sent a message ce r tain signals;' to this effect—' If you receive this message, reply by and the reply has been accordingly, showing that Yesterday an his communication bad been understood. order was received fr..= the English directors, prohibiting the admission, under any pretence, of strangers to the in. *qualm room; N ang upon whlch the °nicer§ were reluc. LONDON, THITIISDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1858. .illll. ROEBUCK, M.P., AND Mil. LINDSAY, M.P., IN THE NORTH. TYNEMOUTH, TUESDAY NIGHT. • • To-day has been observed as a general holiday ,in this town on the occasion of the opening of a new building in Howard-street for the Nleclianics' Institute. It is a hand some and spacious edifice, with every requisite for the pro motion of popular education in the town and neighbourhood, and the most satisfsct ry part of the tff,ir is, that it has been opened nearly clear of debt: Lord Bury, M.P., and Mr. Justice ilalliburton were to have been present, but the one was prevented by domestic bereavement, arid the other by a sudden attack of gout from doing so. A leng pi - oces.- sion of the nie!ebete, toe seamen of the port, atal the Free -masons escorted Mr. Roebuck, M. 1 1,, and Mr. W. Lind say, M.P., who arrived by the teid-day train, to the hall, which was densely crowded. The Mayor presided, end after a few observatioes from Mr. Alderman Tinley, the president of the Institute, and Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. ROEBUCK proceeded to deliver the inaugniral ad dress. lie said,—My esteemed friend, Mr. Liudsay, told me, while we were coming down from London, that I was to day to deliver an inaugural address. I had hoped and believed my lion. friend Lord Bury would have perf-rmed that duty, and I have certainly to express my sorrow for his absence in the first place, and for yotir disappointment in the second. For he would have done what I shall feebly attempt to do, and with far greater effect than I can pretend to; and he would have done that which he has often done, viz., he would have thrown himself on the popular stream, and shown that he was indeed the friend of tee country by manifesting and showing himself the friend of the working classes. (Applause.) My friend's wishes are to me com mends—(hear, bear)—and, if I am unequal to the task, I will vet buckle myself to it. (Applause.) Still the task is not a difficult one. (Hear.) I have to paint out to you the great advantages which you may derive from Ibis institu tion—(hear, hear)—an institution which I am told is in reality what it is called—namely, a mechanics' institution. Hitherto these institutions, intended. for mechanics, have ' been snstaitied and maintained by very different classes ; they have, in this class, shown themselves wiser than in the mechanical classes—(hear, hear)—aud I will tell you why. They have shown that the estimation, the value, I may say the pricelessuess of learning, as compared with any physical, enjaytnent, that intellectual pleasure is tenfold in magni tude. (Bear, hear, and applause.) In the first place, it is longer in its continuance—(hear)—it is not dependent unlit circumstances; it is more perennial—(hear, hear) — and it never palls. (Hear, hear.) Let me by a hotnelyefilus tration mark to you what I intend you should know—what I mean. But, first of all, let me tell you, that when speak ing of the pleasures of intellectual exertion, I do not dwell upon that which I have very much too often heard on the same point—namely, that it enables a man to rise from his sphere. Now, the great pleasure in intellectual exertion is, not that it raises a man above his sphere, but that it makes him happy in it. (Loud applause.) I know that we are told that learning and knowledge are a greats distinction; unhappily they afe. But as knowledge becomes mere ge neral among the people the distinction will cease—(hear) — and we shall see that as the multitude improve in knowledge the great advantages that are bestowed upon knowledge will apparently be taken from them. (Hear,- hear.) What is com mon. to all is no distinction—(heare hear)—and I lope that the time may come when the working men of England may be learned men—(hear, Hear, and applause) —and that they may not be as now dependent upon physical enjoyment to render their lives happy. (Loud applause.) Now, let me, as I was about to say, by a very homely illustration, mark to you the advantages that I fancy may be derived from intellectual enjoyment. I will suppose two men about to take a walk in the fields on a summer's day; the one an ignorant man ; but suppose that be possesses health, strength, and youth. He goes out into the fields, and, as far as that walk is concerned, he pro cures physical enjoyment; but with the walk his enjoyment ends. But let the man of knowledge go out—let us suppose him to be equally endowed with youth strength, and health. The very flowers beneath his feet, if he be a botanist, will be a source of enjoyment—the very stones span which he treads will be a book to him; and as Hugh Miller 'found a stone quarry a learned volume, the very road will be to him a source of enjoyment. (Applause.) If he be an agriculturi it, he looks round and sees fields teeming with wealth, and de rives enjoyment from knowing how the wealth is produced; if he be a statesman, and have the knowledge with which a statesman ought to be possessed, he looks round him and sees a thriving people learning to make this life . the means of human enjoyment, and sees before and around him hap piness which is proverbial. (Hear.) Well then, I say, com pare the pleasures of these two men, simply walking upon the road upon a summer's day; the one derives a certain de gree of pleasure that may be got by good health, and there his enjoyment ends. But the other man goes back to his closet, and there he reads in his mind books that he has dwelt upon, and at every step he derives happiuess from this walk. Well then, I say—and I am speaking what I wish to Weir to' the working men—what are your present pleasures? Why, as I have told my constituents often, "You talk to me about your great regard for the franchise. ,You do not regard it at all ;" and they were in a great rage with me— (laughter)—" because," I said, " were you to cut off a pot of beer a week you might live in a £lO house. (Applause.) You won't do it, and therefore it is that you don't care about the franchise." (Loud applause.) Well, then, I would say to the winking classes, let them forego these wretched phy sical enjoyments which pall upon the serse , r, which rob a man of that which distinguishes him above all other ani mals—viz., his reason—let him forego those horiib'eohose wretched places, and let him come to such a building as this. (Laud applaue.) But it does net cease there. There are pleasures derived from knowledge which are not merely the intellectual pleasures I am speaking of. There are pam al pleasures. For depend upon it an man can be really a goitd man who is an ignorant man. (Mar ' hear.)• Now, that is a bold thing to say, but depend upon it it is true. (Hear, hear.) I have no doubt that Hildebrand and St. Dominic fancied they were doing good when they were destroying human beings. I have no doubt the wretched King of Naples fancies he is doing good—(" bear," and a laagh)— when he is treating his uufsrtunate subjects with all the horrors with which he does treat them. Why is this ? Be cause virtue is made up of two things—you must wish to do good, and you mast know how to do it. (Applause.) It is not enough to wish and intend good things, you ought to know what things are good. The Spaniards have tai old proverb, which I will just quote, though it begins with a word which is not generally mentioned to ears polite, " Hell is paved with good intentions .° (Hear.) The gi ea'er part of mankind intend well, but they don't know how to do well. They persecute, they are intolerant, they tura round upon their fellow-man because he diffors fiom them on some simple matter about which they are both equally ignorant. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) They pinch his uufortunato flesh wilh red hot irons because he differs from them. (Hear, - hear.) Knowledge, and knowledge alone, will do away with this, and as men become learned, and ap e reeiate the value of knowledge, they will learn to be tolerant, and thus they will know that the human mind, fully and fairly employed —many minds being employed on the same object—arrives at different conclusions, and if honestly arrived at they ought not to be persecuted. (Appian .e.) Therefore, I say, that a really good man cannot be made out of an ignorant man. He may intend well; he may have all the wishes to be good man, but he has not the intelligence; he does not know what is good • he will be a persecutor; be will be a bigot ; he will be Wind man, although intending to be a good one. (Loud applause.) There is one more thing that I intend to speak of, and I reserve it for the last. Every man has his hobby, and I have mine. (Laughter.) My hobby is politics—(loud laughter)—but don't be alarmed (turning to Mr. Lindsay) I am not going to talk politics here. (Laughter.) Depend upon it that no people that ate igno rant can govern t hemselves, and no people whodo not govern themselves will be well governed. (Hear. hear.) The con clusions is obvious; and I hope my hon. friend will forgive my politics—(laughter)—fur the conclusion is obvious — namely, that in order to obtain political power you must ob tails knowledge. (Hear, hear.) I do not believe that a nation which is instructed could possibly suffer as I see nations now suffering. (Hear.) I do not believe that if the poor Neapo litan people were as well instructed as the English people, King Bombs could play the pranks that he now plays. So, again, I believe that if the great mass of the French popula tion were equal to their literary men, that the sight we now see could not be seen. No, the people would rise up as one man and vindicate to themselves the right to govern them selves. (Hear, bear.) They would be enabled to speak the thought that is in them without being punished for so doing. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There would be intelligence throughout the lanil, and with intelligence happiness. (Loud applause.) Well then, let me point oust another thing. The age in which we live has been marked by greater im provements than any age of man's history. My grandfather was the first patentee of Watt's steam-engine. (Applause and " Hear.") From his time to the present what has the steam-engine done? It makes our clothing, it carries us across the ocean, it prints our book', it ploughs our fields, it thraslies our corn—in f a ct, it w ill d o everyt hi ng f or us by and by. (Laughter and applause.) But why have the im prevements taken place so rapidly at the present day ? Be cause many minds are applied to improvement. .(Hear.) In times post a manta mind might perhaps arrive at some grand conclusion, ft one which improvements might spring, but his was a solitary mind. Then the woik was evoked by one mind alone; but row, when one man is doing a certain work, a thousand men are doing the same thing, and a thousand intellects may be applied to the improvements of science, and are so applied to the great improvements of modern times. Mr. LINDSAY (holding up a piece of the Atlantic cable) —The electric telegraph ! Mr. ROEBUCK—My hen. friend has just reminded me of one of the most marvellous results of the iwelligence of the present day. (near, hear.) My hon. friend and myself went to Cherbourg. We went there to see a sight, and a sight we did see—(great laughter) —and while we were there we heard of a greater feat than any that we saw. We learned that the electric telegraph had been laid in the depths of the sea between Newfoundland and Ireland. (Ap plause.) That was a feat of human intellect; perhaps the greatest that man's intellect ever has made. At that very time we were listening to the thunders of artillery —we saw two great potentates—we saw:their kind kisses. (Laughter.) We saw that—how much there was in that for the happi ness of mankind—but that was a negative happiness. It was because they did not do any mischief. (Laughter.) The electric telegraph is a positive gem!. It binds us to America —it brings us nearer to our great off-piing there, and it makes u., as it were, one people. (Applause.) This is done by human intelligence. You. have in this town known a man who owed much te the gifts of nature, but knew what it was to want learning, and to lack the bent fi' of instruc tion. I mea n George Stephenson. That man was a great man, who was self-cultivated. Now, any man has better means than G• orge Stephenson eve r enjoytd, for he was 18 years of age before he could write. Then you have books, you have courses of instruction, you have the means of ac quiring knowledge : by ti at means you will forward the happiness, not mertly of yourselves, but of the country in which you live. (Loud applause.) You may enjoy political power—you may enjoy intellectual exertion—you may be what you were intended to be, " the noblest w. rk o f G o d." (Loud applause.) But until you are blest with knowledge you are not a noble creature. (Applause.) I know nothing that strikes me with a feeling of humility and awe equal to seeing a drunken tnau—except a drunken woman. I think there is a being who by God was intended to be a rational creature, and for a few moments of fiery enjoyments he has robbed himself of that which distinguishes him from a brute '(applause)—aeel the brutes are much wiser, for they never get drunk. Depend upon it I tell you an honest truth when I tell you that the best means of rescuing people from the evils and the horrors of intemperance is not by a Maine . Liquor Law—(hear, hear) —but by institutions like the present. (Applause.) I dare say that may be a very un popular doctrine— (" No, no")—but popularity is not sought ftar by me, (Laughter and applause.) This is•tuy ()pinto, and, as it is a habit of mine to say what I think, I say the Maine Liquor Law will not do so much to withdraw the working population of England from tire horrors of inebriety and intemperanc e as institutions like tile pre ent. (Loud applause.) The persons most des ply indebted for institu tions like these are the wo king men themselves ; and I would "entreat of them—for I am their frisnrl, ned I think I have r•lways Shw an it—l would entr.at of tam to Out their shoulders to the wheel and stip:Jen an ins itution like this, and to sly, es my I O. fu 1.'1141 here said, raise the number of the member: from 20 to 1,000, and then I stud believe the workieue inca or Sheffield not only deserving to have power, but. I kao et they \elll ohtnin it. (Applause.) [The Mayor— Of Shield:, you mean.] (Laughter.) I incen I believe you are of tie same stamp; my mind runs after• my own love, you see—(launtiter)— het it is not a bad sign ' in a man. (Laughter.) . I Ler I have eecupied your time too ratich—(" No, no")—"and our time is slier ; bet the words I utter are words which I feel. (Hen., beer.) I do not utter them as niece phrases and lip rhetoric, they conic from my heart. (Applause.) They are the result of long ex perience, fir I have loweltiret he yule of life—(aeplau , e)— hand to the therehas ben nothing that the earth afforded like intellectual pleasure. (Loud applause.) I have hsd diffi culties, I have had siekness, but against all I could put that which God in His mercy has given me--namely, a mind 'to understand His excellence and the world's beauty. (Loud applause.) Depend upon me when I tell you, that in that you will find the purest source of enjoyment —never dying, never palling, continuous aid ever iucreasing. (The hon. member resumed his seat amid great applause.) At a crowded soiree held in the Albion Assembly Rooms in the evening, Mr. Alderman Tinley presiding, Mr. Roe buck and Mr. Lindsay delivered addresses. - Mr. LINDSAY ealui—Mr. President and ladies and gentle men--On such an occasion as the pres nt it would 11l become me to occupy your time at any tenpin considering that my esteemed friend Mr. Roebuck has been pleased to join the here this evening. Knowing his power of language, know ing his extensive knowledge, anti knowing that if there is any one particular branch in which he does excel it is in the knowledge of-the people aid the appliances of education, upon which he is so much more conversant titan I, it would as I have said, be idle for me to occupy your time. I have therefore been turningerver in my mind how I should best occupy your attention, and I have thought that I could not do better than give you a short account of my trip to Cher bourg. (Applause.) Considering that the leading representa tives of the press of. London were there, and that they gave, as they generally do, a very graphic description of that splendid fete, you may think it presumptuous in me to cutter upon the subject, but the fete was connected with subjects with which I am familiar—subjects with which you, as a maritime people, are connected; and 1, as a member of the House of Commons, had an opportunity of seeing things from which the press in England would not have been excluded, but from which, I am afraid, the press of Eng land in France were excluded. Well, then, the Peninsu lar and Oriental Company having been good enough to place at the disposal of the House of Com mons one of their magnificent steamers,' we proceeded to Cherbourg. My first impression on entering that great har bour was very different from what it was when I left it. On entering the harbour I saw a very different display com pared with that I saw atSpithead. I refer to the number of ships. Considering that France bad made very great exer tions to make a grand naval display I was disappointed with the number of ships which I saw in the bay of Cherbourg. There was one line-of-battle ship, the Bretagne, and there were eight two-decked ship , . The ships, as a whole, struck me as very inferior to our own. In number they were no thing to those which were moved at Spithead at our naval review. The harbour, wh u we entered it, was, compara tively speaking, empty.. Therefore the sight did not make the impression upon me I expected. But as the harbour began to fill with ships, on which I was proud to see waxing the English flag, the French harbour of Cherbourg began to have a different apecarance. (Hear, hear.) And when her Majesty entered that harbour in the beautiful Vicreria !yacht, followed by that magnificent vessel the Royal Albert, that splendid two-decker the Renown, and four of the handsomest frig des I ever set my eyes upon, and when the farts on every side began to fire their salvos and thunder forth their salutes, the sight was a very im posing one. Through the courtesy of the Admiral of the French fleet—and it is only fair to acknowledge the courtesy of the Admiral—owing to his courtesy we were allowed to inspect thoroughly all the great naval dockyards and arsenals. He was good enough to place at our disposal an officer who accompanied u s i n our perambelations. It was when we entered that arsenal and those dockyards that I was impressed with the immense strength of the pl ace . Now, I am afraid that I mus t b e somewhat dry for a few minutes, and, as I don't find that the press have ealled'attention to the fact, I wish to call atten tion to the harbour of Cherbourg as compared with our largest harbour. The largest harbour we have is that of Keyham—l mean the new harbour and dockyard near De vonport. When completed that harbour will occupy an area of 72 acres. It has two basins, with an area ofsix acres each. It has three large dry docks, and it has the usual number of storehouses and workshops of various kinds. Now, mark the contrast with Cherbourg. Cherbourg occupies an area of no less than 220 acres—(hear, bear)—an area three times larger than our largest dockyard will be when completed. It has three basins, one containing 15 acres of water, another con taining 16 acres, and the third containing 20 acres of water —five time, the water space of Keyham. Each of these has 30 feet of water at low tides. Along the quay walls of these basins 25 of the largest line-of-battle ships could be moored head and stern. -Running in connexion with the dockyard is the railway to Paris and the whole of the interior of France. Doan that line of railroad, the opening of welch formed part of the eights to be seen at the great fete—down that railway could be whirled in a day the army of France; 100,000 men could be marched from the interior to the rail way station, and from the railway station right on board ships of war, at any time of the tide, and these ships could sail at any tithe of the tide. Now, there is something very striking in all this, and I said to " What can all this mean?" Ducks, forts, and a railway which could bring 100,000 men down to Cherbourg, and at a moment's notice, as it were, carry them to the shores of England. But when I looked over the ships and compared them with our own ships, I said to myself, " You may bring your soldiers down to your dockyards, hut before you can get them to England you must coinmand the Channel, and you must have a dif ferent class of ships from what you now have." I thought it my duty to examine the ships. I accordingly went on board the Bretagne, and examined her with Sir C. Napier. She struck me as a very magnificent ship indeed. I afterwards went on board our own Royal Albert, a ship not so large as the Bretagne, but of a similar cl ass . My f ee li ng after the inspection of both vessels was this—the Bretagne and the other vessels there may be very fine ships, but if both of them were manned by Frenchmen I would prefer to be on board the Royal Albert, for I believe she would sson sink the others. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) When I looked at the sailors—those who got up to the trucks of the masts (while the Frenchmen could get no higher than the yards), and there waved the flag of England with one hang, stand ing on one leg and swinging the ether to and fro—l drought the Royal Albert would not be long in making short work of the Bretagne. (Laughter and applause.) When.. further, I looked at what was perhaps one of the tnost magnificent sights I ever saw, between 300 and 41)0 beautiful yachts, the property of English noblemen, manned by 3,000 or 4,000 of the finest sailors in England, the magnificent ships be longing to that company who were good enough to give us a free passage to Cherbetirg—.when I thought that they were not more than one -ha f of the ships owned by the same company—when i looked to the maritime habits of our peo ple—when I looked at the fine class of fellows who com manded them, the stalwart forms of the noblemen and gen tlemen of England at the Helm, and recellected that these gentlemen could fight i n the tour of need as well as their sailors—when I- looked at the skill and knowledge of the people to which my esteemed friend referred this morning, I said to myself," Well, well, we have nothing to fear from France, even though she have her mighty dockyards and stupendous arsenals opposed to "us." (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) But, Mr. President, and ladies and gentle men, France in the construction of that mighty arsenal—and it is a melancholy fact, but it is a fact which I must tell you, for we must not despise our neirebbours—France in the instruction of that mighty arsenal, must have had some ulterior object in view —(hear, hear)—because when the British vessels left Cherbourg that mighty dockyard must have been almost deserted. And it struck me, "What object can France have had in view in constructing such a mighty arsenal and such immense forts ?" Why, depend upon it, she did not build them unless she had some idea of building ships to put i nto t h em. (Hear, hear.) It is a very m&anchuly fact, tied I for one regret, - deeply regret, that a feeling of doubt on the part of one nation towards another. should have arisen ; but we cannot shut our eyes to the great fact we have seen, that there is one thing in which eve are deficient. We have abundance of seamen—we are a maritime people—but in the hour of emergency we have had a difficulty in obtaining seamen' to man our slops, (Hear.) But I am happy to tell you this evening —for I think it is the only difficulty we have now to contend with—that the Government are now zealously devoting themselves to this question. (Applause.) They have ap pointed a Royal Commission, of which I' have the honour to be a member, rind I do hope, as the result of our labours, that a plan will be prepared which will remove the only thing which we have to fear—the manning of ou r s hip s i n the hour of need. (re H e ar, hear," and cheers.) Mr. Presi deat and gentlemen, one word before I conc'ude. I referred to the fact that one great secret of our strength was our knowledge. I MB sure Napoleon himself, when he sailed through that harbour and inspected his ships, must have said within his own mind, " I may create mighty arsenals and build great dockyards, and even launch great ships of war, bet I can never make my people a great maritime nation ; unless I can get them to own such magnificent ' merchant ships as those I see around me now, unless I can get met nobility and gentry to turn their attention more earnestly to yachting and kindred pursuit s , it i s vain fur me to.attempt to rival England as a maritime people, as vain as it would be for England to attempt to rival the ....reat nations of Europe as a military people." (Ile ar hear, and applause.) But he must have felt too that another great source of our wealth was our knowledge, the skill of the working classes, the industry of our artisans—that industry which was en couraged by the opening of such institutions as these— whiclienpouraged onwards those hardy sons of toil, who, after all, are the true secret of a nation', wealth and a na tion's power. (Applause.) These men, ladies and gentle men—it is these men, the finch:mks, the hard-working, industrious mechanics of this coue try which have made Eng land what she is—great and powerful throughout the nations of the earth. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mr. ROEBUCK was received with great enthusiasm. He said,—Mr. President, afterlife melodious Founds you have heard, my voice will sound like the croak of a crow after the song of a nightingale, but I will endeavour to stick into that arid sound some intelligence that shall attract your attention.. My hon. friend has told y ou t h at we went both of us upon an expedition to Cherbourg. We did so. He went there as a learned man, I went there utterly ignorant of what I went to see. (Laughter.) He went there as a prat ical sailor—(hear)—l went there as a seasick landsman. (Loud a nd continued laught er. ) B ut I em ployed -my eyes and used nay intelligence, and I saw there a mighty artnatnent. I saw there countless guns upon ineumezable forts; but I saw no industry. (Hear, hear.) It was a sham from beginning to end. There was no life in it. They may be powerful for defence —they are nothing for aggression. (Hear, hear.) So far as d e f ence went, for us they were nothing, for we do not intend to attack them. (Laughter and applause.) But let them attack us, and they will find the differetce. (Hear, hear.) The seasick lands man saw that—(laughter and applause) —and the sailor ' verifies the statement. (Applause.) He went there, moving about the deck as if the deck were not in motion ; I, with -my bead upon my pillow, thinking when) sh ou ld arr i ve a t Cherbourg. (I,aughter,) We did arrive at last, but when we got tbere I found my friend standing on deck s crossing his arms, with furrowed !maw, and looking at those mighty forts. Ile went away and carne back, and I thought his heart was in his mouth. (Laughter.) I said, "Why, Lindaay, what have you seen F' He says, - " I have seen something that has terribly astounded me." I saw him next morning, after be had gone to the Royal Albert, a d then he was himself again —the man's heart was in its right place —(laughter)—he was no longer afraid. I, as a p ,or totels matt-, thought, " What are these people to do? There is a mighty force of forts ; there are a sight of poor ail S." Evan for a landsman I discovered that. I think toy learned friend will signify the same; they were poor ships. Ai:d tli:o:4 I saw, scattered over that mighty basin, the flag of England upon every mast—(applause)—and I saw yaehtmen —three, five, or six, nr Se ven t h ousan d men . I went shore, and e n what ill.; I see there? I saw men in pegtop .trousers—(laughter) —they ;put me very much in mind of Cochin Cnina fowls. (Loud laughter.) I .saw priests and women—and very ugly women too. (Laughter.) Well, then, I said to myself, is there a men among them who dare say his soul is his own ? A man next door said to me," Take care, and mind what you are ab , ut; the French colonels will be after you. Y,:u are not in Eng land now." " No," I said, "I know that perfectly well, but still I will speak out wit. ,t I think." He said, " You will do it at your own risk," and I did it at my own risk. (Laughter.) But I-was not in England, and recollect there is a great difference between being able to say that your soul is your own and not daring to speak above your breath —(bear, hear)—and I will never believe until I see it, and I don't think I shall see it in this world, that a set of intelli gent, free-spoken, free-hearted, strong-armed, and bard fisted men will succumb to any terror from abroad. (AN plause.) My bon. friend evidently went with the foregone conclusion in his mind, anti I bad a .foregone conclusion in my mind. I know my hon. friend objects to politics, and I 'Won't speak a word of them. And when I say that, under stand that it is a Parliamentary phrase, and I shall talk po litics immediately. (Loud laughter.) But this I will say, that England has been insulted; England's Parliament vin dicated her • and we have had Cherbourg fetes to make up. (Laughter.) I am perfectly willing to acknowledge all that, but with my hen. friend I cannot help feeling and thinking that there is something behind. What is all this for? If I go down to Liverpool I see dock after dock full of merchantmen, I see them coming in from all parts, float ine into that basin in every ,breath of heaven, laden to the very brim with the world's produce. Th a t is England. But at Cherbourg I saw nothing of the sort. I saw a solitary 90-gun ship ready to be launched upon a Sunday (laughter)—and that was France. (Laughter.) That is the difference between England and France. Depend upon it, we who are here need not be alarmed by anything that my friend has seen—[3lr. Lindsay.—" Hear, hear."]—while we have institutions like the present. And new I come to the moral of my tale. Depend upon it, that while you have stalwart arms—that while you have clear-thinking heads-- the l worldcould you will need to fear no . ../espot that the world affords—(l ou d cbeers)—let him come from France, or Austria, or Naples. The free soil of England, washed by the free ocean that is poor e is fr t e •r e a against creature , yet turn out to-morrow. (Laughter and cheers.) Depend upon it, every man, woman, and child among us know what i a n ro e u r n m cel s. her, c g e u e a e r r d s. e ) d b l y a m tier bet a sailors, we have in England—we have freedom here. (Cheers.) We should lose that freedom if we were conquered by any body from abroad; we should cease to be England —we should cease to be the head of the world, which we now are. We hold up to nations a torch that they see iu darkness, and, ixastnech as their darkness is greater than our light, the more brilliant is our illumination. Well, then, my fziends, depend upon yourselves—(hear, hear)—depend upon your intelligence, depend upon institutions like these, and every despot in Europe will tremble, as they do now , at your name. (Cheers.) You are England, you stand at the head of civilization, and you need nut be alarmed at any Cher bourg. You are England, against the world in arms. (Loud cheers.) SPORTING INTENCE.
