Mr. Secretary Herbert has received a despatch with enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to him by Lieutenant-General Sir J. Hope Grant, G.C.8., Commanding the Forces in China : HEAD-QUARTERS, TIEN-TSIN, SEPTEMBER 2, 1860. Six,—l have the honour to report that on the 24th Au gust a private letter was received from Lieutenant-Colonel March, Royal Marines, commanding at Shanghai, stating that reliable information had arrived of the intention of the rebels to attack that city. The garrison of Shanghai then consisted of one company of Marine. Artillery, about 400 of Royal Marine Light in fantry, and the Loodianah Regiment of Sikhs. I accord ingly despatched the 44th Regiment forthwith to reinforce them, and sent Brigadier Jephson to take the command. On the 27th August, a report arrived, informing me that the rebels had actually attacked Shanghai, and had been repulsed. Before leaving Shanghai, in June last, I had instructed the officer commanding at Chusan to send reinforcements to that place if called upon ; and accordingly a force, as per margin,* arrived there from Chusan on the 17th August. On the 18th, the rebels attacked the city, but were re pulsed ; and on the 20th August, they made a demonstra tion against the foreign settlement, but retired on being fired into. I enclose a copy of Colonel March's reports of these affairs. I have since heard that the rebels have retired altogether, and do not intend to molest Shanghai any further. I am informed also that Mr. Bruce has written to Hong Kong for the 11th Pdnjaub Infantry, which I had previ ously requested him to do, in the event of his requiring as sistance. There is consequently now a very large force at Shanghai, and I purpose leaving them there until the ex peditionary force breaks up. The measures taken by Colonel March, for the defence of the city and foreign settlement, appear to have been taken with judgment and success. I have, &c., J. HOPE GRANT, Lieutenant-General, Commanding her Majesty's Forces. The Right Honourable the Secretary of State for War, &c. SHANGHAI, AUGUST 21, 1860. Srß,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that at about 2 p.m. on the 18th, the rebels in some force approached the walls of the city, threatening the south-east, south and west gates. 1. They advanced under cover until they were near enough to be fired at with effect with canister and smooth bore muskets. About 4 p.m. they retired to a distance of three or four miles. 2. Captain Budd, of the Royal Marines, who commands in the city, and is posted at the south gate, informs me that he thinks the loss of the rebels from the fire on the walls must have been very considerable; they left behind several flags, &c. 3. On the morning of the 19th, they evinced an intention to advance, but suddenly withdrew. 4. The officer in command of the forts in the city de scribes their numbers to be from 5,000 to 7,000. 5. Yesterday, at nine a.m., I was informed that our pickets, on the racecourse, were firing on the rebels. I called out all my force, and on my arrival on the race course, found that the rebels, formed in four columns, and carrying black, red, white, and orange flags, were in some force a little to the left of the settlement threatening the King-po Joss-house; they were sufficiently near to encou rage us to fire a few rockets and shell at them, with what effect I cannot say. About 2 p.m. they retired, and took up a position about four miles off, their right being appa rently a little in advance of the French convent of Sic-a vrei. 6. They appear to be concentrating their forces for an attack on the city and settlement. 7. Their numbers I should estimate at 6,000 or 7,000. 8. This morning the rebels are encamped in two places, at a distanco of about three miles from each other, and from this city. 9. Up to this time, 10.30 a.m., they have shown no dis position to advance.--I have, &c., (Signed) W. H. MARCH, Lieutenant-Colonel, Royal Marines, Commanding the Garrison. To Capt. Biddulph, &c., Military Secretary. Sir twn,Tr AT 7 Aug. 26, 1860. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that on the 22d instant was sent, by Mr. Forest, the interpreter to the Le gation, to the rebels, the notification, a copy of which I forwarded in my letter to you (No. 1, 18th August), and on the following day an answer, a translation of which by Mr. Consul Meadows herewith enclosed, was received. 1. On the morning of the 24th instant I was informed that nothing was to be seen of the enemy, and I learnt from Colonel Fevre, commandant of the French force here, that the missionaries who had left the convent at Sic-a-wei on the approach of the rebels, had returned there. It has been reported to me that placards were found on the walls of the convent, announcing their return in ten days; they are now, I understand, at a place called Si-pool, about 15 miles off. 2. from the accounts I have received I am inclined to think that the force they brought down to Shanghai did not exceed 3,000 men. 3. Captain Budd, of the Royal Marines, the senior officer within the city, speaks highly of the steadiness of the Royal Marines and Madras Artillery, under Captain Wlntyre, of the latter corps, and that of the company of Royal Marines under Lieut. O'Grady, and the detachment of the Regiment of Loodianah, under Captains Maxwell and Cavanagh; the accuracy of the fire kept up at the various posts is proved by the loss which the rebels, it is ascer tained, suffered. 4. With the zeal and activity displayed by Lieut.Glasso, of the regimnt of Loodianah, commanding at the Ning-po Jess-house, I have every reason to be satisfied. 5. The firing of the Royal Marine Artillery, under Lieut. Williams, from the race-course on the 20th was also very good. 6. Her Majesty's ships Nimrod and Pioneer, the former moored off the settlement, and the latter above the city, did good service with their long-range guns. 7. I wish to bring to the notice of his Excellency the spirited conduct of Mr. (Interpreter) Forest, in volunteer ing to take the notification sent by the Commanding Of of the Allied Forces to the camp of the rebels on the 22d inst. ; he was attended in his somewhat dangerous un dertaking by Private Phillips, of the Royal Marines, like wise a volunteer, who carried a flag of truce.—l have, &c., (Signed) W.

PROCLAMATION SENT TO REBEL CAMP AT SHANGHAI Report having reached us of an armed force having been collected at Shanghai, we, the Commanders of the Military and Naval Forces of her Britannic Majesty at Shanghai, hereby give nntice that the city of Shanghai and tho foreign settlement are militarily occupied by the forces of her Bri tannic Majesty and of her Ally the Emperor of the French, and they warn all persons that if armed bodies of men attack or approach the positions held by them, they will be considered as commencing hostilities against the Allied Forces, and will be dealt with accordingly. Shanghai, August 16, 1860. To the Commander of the Forces in occupation of Soochow, and other places. Translation of Reply. Le, Imperial Commissioner of the Sovereign reigning in virtue of the True Decree of Heaven, &c., hereby issues a Notification : Whereas the appointed period of the Tsing (Manchoo) dynasty having expired, the true sacred Lord was sent into the world to.save it. And I, having been honoured with his command to perform the work of Heaven by punishing the crimes (of the rejected dynasty), have, from the time I rose in the cause of right in Kwang-se, never fought a battle without conquering, and Rover attacked a city without tak ing it. A short time back, on our armies occupying Soochow, your countries once and again pressed us to come to Shanghai to discuss personally the various matters connected with foreign trade. Hence it was that after retaking Sing •Keang I came hither, not to seek a quarrel and to fight with foreign nations, but to offer them a treaty of open commerce. And, on now perusing the communications of your coun tries, I am in the highest degree surprised at the extrava gant perversity of its language. I would submit to you. that I, under the loyal Prince, have the general command of a large body of officers and of an innumerable army, and could have no difficulty in causing the instantaneous destruction of an insignificantly small city such as Shanghai. When I, therefore, come to the place, and station my troops motionless before it, it is really in s spirit of pure regard and of consideration for our common faith. Had lat once ordered a hostile advance, the mem bers of the same house would have been turning against each other, and we could not have failed to incur the ridicule of the Tsing dynasty. With the Tsing dynasty your nations have now a quarrel —you cannot have forgotten the battle at Tien-tsin. But our State, in at present carrying on a war, has no other *. One hundred of the 90th Regiment ; one hundred 19th p un j au b Infantry ; three Madras Artillery glum object than to regain our own country. We are at enmity with the Tsing dynasty, but with foreign nations we have no quarrel. Your countries attach much importance to open com merce and trade. Now, the advantages to be obtained from us would be greater than those given by the Tsing dynasty, for, after the establishment of peaceful - relations with us, unrestricted commerce might be carried on at all places without exception. But the wild and fallacious nature of the communication which has reached us is such as renders it quite inexplica ble. I must conclude that there is no consideration for the feeling that should make us of one mind, in virtue of our common religion, and that there is, it may be, en intention of seeking a quarrel. For these reasons, I hereby issue a notification for the common information of the foreign nations (at Shanghai). If you desire to carry on open commerce, in accordance wjth an agreement, you can at once come and consult on the terms of an agreement. If, however, it is your wish to make difficulties and to engage in hostilities, then my troops move as a flood, my commands go forth unchange able as the hills, and we can only await the time when victory and defeat declare themselves. I trust that you wil not bring sorrow on yourselves. An earnest notification. The 14th day of the seventh month of the tenth year of the heavenly kingdom of Taeping.

Last night the Master and Wardens of the Wor shipful Company of Salters entertained Lord Pal merston, the Duke of Somerset, Lord John Russell, and other distinguished guests, in their magnificent hall, St. Swithen's-lane, City. Sir Charles Wood and other members of the Government were also invited, but were prevented from attending by other engagements. Besides the Ministers above named, there were among the company, which was upwards of 200 in number, Baron Rothschild, M.P., Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr. W. R. Crawford, M.P. (the Parliamentary representative of the city), Colo. nel M'Murdo, C. 8., Commodore Drummond, the Master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, and the Master of the Skinners' Company. Mr. John Cur teis, the Master of the Company of Salters, pre sided. After dinner, which was of a very sumptu ous character. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of her Majesty," which w as received with loyal enthusiasm. In giving the next toast, " The healths of the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," the Master observed that they must all have read with deep interest the stirring accounts which had been published of the Prince of Wales' recent tour. The cordial welcome which his Royal Highness had received from our friends on the other side of the Atlantic must have been most gratifying, not only to his illustrious parents, but also to every person in the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) He was sure that all present earnestly prayed for the safe return of the Prince. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in introducing " The Navy, the Army, and the Volunteer Corps," eulogized the merits of the sister services, as displayed in their latest achievements in China. With regard to the noble body of Volunteers, he must say that if there was any young member of the Salters' Company who had not yet joined that force it was his bounden duty to do so immediately. (Hear, hear.) He begged to associate with the toast the name of his Grace the Duke of Somerset for the navy, and that of Colonel M'Murdo for the army, that distinguished officer, who held the position of Inspector-General of the Volunteer Corps, being entitled to represent the gallant ser vice to which he belonged in a two-fold capacity. The toast was duly honoured. The Duke of SOMERSET.—My lords and gpriflo men, I rise to thank you on behalf of the navy. The British navy has at all times commanded the respect and attachment of Englishmen ; but of late years more than usual attention has been directed to the progress of that service. I believe I may say that the navy has advanced, and has enswered the expectations of the country. lam not one of those who feel there is any danger that peace will be violated, but at the same time I think it right that our navy should be maintained in a position in which it may be able to uphold our interests and vindicate our honour. That, I believe, is the opinion of every man, of every profession and every party. In endeavouring, therefore, to keep up the effi ciency of the navy we are only doing what every Englishman regards as a common duty, and to the discharge of that duty the Admiralty will of course earnestly devote themselves. I, gentlemen, may say this for the navy, that if ever they should be called upon to defend their country in the serious battles that might have to be fought if a naval war were again to arise in Europe, whether those battles took place between ships of one kind or another, I believe you will find the English sailor to be of the same stuff as in former days—(cheers) —that he would be able and ready to face every danger, and far more eager to approach near to his enemy than to fight him at those long distances of which you hear so much in connexion with some descriptions of naval artillery. I think the Eng lish sailor would like immediately to close with his enemy, and would be likely to make that enemy regret that he had ever encountered him. (Hear.) But whatever may be the future course of events, we onght to be prepared to meet it; and, therefore, although such preparations are attended with con siderable expense, I am sure no Englishman will grudge the outlay when he knows that it is neces sary for his country's safety and his country's honour. (Cheers.) Colonel M‘MunDo, in responding for the army, said it was always gratifying to a British officer to hear his comrades in arms well spoken of, especially when the service to which they belonged had, from its earliest history down to the capture of the Taku Forts, invariably done its duty. (Hear, hear.) To one who, like himself, was not unacquainted with the pernicious features of our recruiting system, it had often been matter of wonder how such acts of rue heroism had been performed in the ranks of he British army. From what class, for instance, was that man Moyse, of the Buffs, drawn—that obstinate but intemperate hero who, when com manded to" kotow" to the Mandarin before whom he was taken captive, preferred to have his brains knocked out rather than " prostrate him self before . any Chinaman alive ?" He hoped that the system of the recruiting sergeait would soon pass away, and that employment in the army would be eagerly sought by the respectable youth of the country as an honourable service. (Hear, hear.) His connexion with the Volunteer force had been referred to. He was bound up heart and soul in that movement, seeing in it a great security for the safety of the country. It had been his duty, with the co-operation of the staff, to test the value of these noble corps, and he could state that we had 78 solid battalions, comprising about 42,000 men, who, he could declare, would be fit in a very short time to take their place with the line. (Cheers ) Besides these there were upwards of 36,000 other Volunteers, who, although composing scattered corps, had already been brought into 68 different administrative battalions, which were also ready to take the field, if need were. True these corps had not often the means of coming together for drill; still when they did muster for that purpose the manner in which they had moved had asto nished all who had witnessed the reviews at Hyde Park, Edinburgh, Knowsley, York, Glocester, and many other places. These 68 administrative bat talions, consisting of 36,000, could move almost as well as the 42,000 men constituting the 78 solid battalions which he had mentioned. Thus we had between 70,000 and 80,000 volunteers equal to the conditions of the line of battle—(cheers)—and it was expected that in the course of next year the remainder of this large force would be brought into the same organisation of administrative battalions. Even now they were capable of doing their work in a campaign. Considering this movement, then, in all its bearings ? and remembering the facilitie offered by our eitended railway system—a most important element in all our future strategical com binations, he saw no cause to fear for the safety of this country as long as this magnificent body was kepb up steadily and efficiently. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN regretted that he was not gifted with the eloqu ence requ i s i te to d o j ust i ce to t h e . next toast. They were honoured that evening with the presenee of several 'of her Majesty's Ministers. Among them was Lord Palmerston—(cheers)—a statesman whose brilliant and lengthened career had shown him to be earnestly desirous of peace and yet determined at all times, under all circum stances, and, if need were, at all costs to uphold the honour and dignity of his country. (Cheers.) He had thus helped to place England in the proud position she now happily occupied among the great Powers of Europe, by which she was enabled by her moral influence, if not by her material strength, ,o assist other nations in their efforts to win some portion at least of that glorious heritage of liberty with which we ourselves were so highly blessed. Hear, hear.) There was no man now living in . , whose hands the interests and the honour of the nation could be more safely entrusted than they could be to Lord Palmerston. (Cheers,) But it was not to affairs of State alone that the noble lord's public services were confined. Whether he presided at an agricultural meeting, at a mechanics institute, or a ragged school, or whether he advo- cated the claims of a shoeblack brigade, to all he gave the benefit of his valuable aid and counsel, showing how they could achieve the greatest amount of public good. (Hear, hear.) In the name, therefore, of that ancient corporation he begged to give the noble lord, together with his distinguished colleagues, a cordial welcome, and to express a fervent hope that he might long be blessed with health and strength to guide the councils of this great and powerful empire. (Loud cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON—Master Warden and Gentle men,—l can assure you it would require more than that eloquence which your excellent chairman has disclaimed, but which I think he has proved himself to possess, adequately to express the feelings of gratitude inspired in us by the too flattering man ner in which you have been pleased, as far as I am personally concerned, to propose this toast, and by the cordial manner in which this distinguished company has been good enough to receive it. But I beg for myself and my colleagues to return you our most sincere thanks for the kindness you have shown to us this evening. It is needless, I am sure, to say that there can be nothing more gratifying to men who are engaged in the public service than to meet on occasions like this assem blages of their fellow-countrymen, who thus testify towards them their goodwill and their approval of their public conduct. It is one of the greatest re wards for labours past, and one of the most welcome incentives to further exertions. You are, therefore, gentlemen performing a good public act when you thus encourage public servants to persevere in the discharge of their duties to the State. (Hear, hear.) To a Government daily occupied in watching the progress and prosperity of the country it must be gratifying to see that they possess the goodwill of those who carry on that commercial system which is so important an element of the greatness, power, and dignity of a nation. Descending from that high topic, and turning to another subject suggested by this assemblage, I may be permitted to say that, having an interest in the prosperity of Ireland, I attach a value also to the good opinion of this Com pany who are known to be among the best land lords in that country, who devote their amrl. mcaut3 not only to the improvement of their own estates, and to setting an example to the rest of the king dom, but in caring for their tenants, providing for their comfort, for the education of their children, and everything that concerns the welfare and hap piness of those who depend upon them. I regret, gentlemen, that some of my colleagues whom you honoured with invitations were prevented by un avoidable engagements from enjoying your hospi tality, but I am happily accompanied by two dis tinguished members of the present Government, who hold some of the most important departments of the State. (Hear, hear.) There is my noble friend the Duke of Somerset, who conducts the business of the navy, and my noble friend Lord John Russell, one of your members—(cheers)--who is charged with the management of the foreign affairs of this country. You may rest assured that, while my noble friend the noble duke devotes to the duties of his important department the untiring energies of his manly mind, your navy, as far as human exertions can make it, will be fully adequate to every exigency which the course of events may create. (Hear, hear.) You may also rely that while my noble friend Lord J. Russell has the conduct of our foreign relations they will be carried on in a manner consistent with the interests, the dignity, and the honour of Great Britain. (Cheers.) My noble friend, all through life the friend and champion of the principles of freedom, has lately had to perform duties connected with the development of freedom in one of the most interest ing countries of Europe. (Hear, hear.) You have seen him watching the progress of events in Italy, a country to which he has not only directed the energies of his mind but of which he has a know ledge acquired by personal visits. You have seen him at one time endeavouring to check those rash impulses which threatened to renew wars which if renewed might have blighted all the best hopes of Italian freedom. (Hear.) You have seen him on the other hand using the great power and influence of England to exhort other countries to follow her example by abstaining from all interference with the events passing in the Peninsula, and by leaving the Italians to settle their own affairs according to their own views of their own interests. (Hear, hear.) I trust, gentlemen, that before long my noble friend will see the accomplishment of his earnest wishes, and will be able to witness the triumphant success of the principles of which he has been so steady, so persevering, and so consistent an advocate. (Cheers.) You have alluded, Mr. Warden, to an event which has awakened the deepest interest in the mind of every English man. I mean the visit of the Prince of Wales to the North American continent. It was to be expected that when the future hope of Eng land visited the subjects of her Majesty in our North American provinces he would be received with that enthusiastic affection which becomes a loyal and attached people. Our anticipations have not been disappointed. The reception of the Prince has been worthy of the people who gave it, and honourable to the family of which he is so distinguished a member ; and we may hope that that visit will cement more closely those ties which I trust are long destined to bind together that portion of the Queen's dominions and the mother country. (Hear, hear.) But we had not an equal right to expect that when "Ais Royal Highness visited the United States he would be received with any thing more than the courtesy which civilised nations accord to distinguished members of the reigning family of another country. But I must say it has been most gratifying to witness the cor diality, the heartfelt kindness, the generous hospi tality, and I may say the enthusiastic delight with which the illustrious Prince was welcomed by our cousins in the United States. (Cheers.) They have shown themselves, indeed, to be a noble and gene rous people—they have shown that they have not forgotten the common stock from which they and we have sprung; and in spite of events which, if not buried in oblivion, might have produced some slight alienation between us, they received our future Sovereign, not as if he were a stranger be longing to another land, but as if he had been born in their own country, and had been a citizen of their own Republic. (Cheers.) I trust, gentlemen, that the remembrance of the generous kindness thus exhibited by the people of the United States will ever be cherished by the people of these kingdoms. I believe the memory of the Prince's visit will long survive in the breasts of the American nation, and that these mutual recollections will tend more closely than over to knit together those two great branches of the same noble and I will say illus trious stock. (Cheers.) The MASTER then gave " The Members for the City," which was duly honoured. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in responding, said—l rise to return thanks in the name of my colleagues, and in my own, for the compliment which you have paid us ; and I am glad to see that, my three colleagues being present, you have before you a complete representation of the city of London. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) And here, in their presence, let me say that there is one thing which I think members of Parliament, and especially those representing such wealthy communities as this city, ought in future to attend to ; that is, to provide a sufficient force, and one not more than sufficient, for the defence of the United Kingdom and the great empire of which it isZa part. We have at various times, as I have seen, been too subject to hot fits of extravagance, and then again to cold fits of economy. (A laugh.) We have heard from my noble friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, and from the gallant Colonel who is so distinguished a member of the aimy, that which they had to say upon our defences. Now, I would observe that if the Ministers of the Crown bring forward extravagant estimates, let those esti mates be retrenched. But if they introduce such estimates as are fitting for this great country, as only give a proper insurance to its wealth, its pros perity, its independence, and its liberty, then I trust there will be a steady continuance in those expenses, and that the nation, wealthy as it is, will not grudge the necessary sacrifices for such great objects. (Hear, hear.) Allow me now to offer a re mark or two respecting the important department with which I am immediately connected, and with regard to which my noble friend at the head of the Government has said a great deal too much in my praise. Of this, gentlemen, I am persuaded that he who is charged with the Foreign Department of a great country like this need not have recourse to those wiles, those intrigues, and those subterfuges which are supposed to form the proper trade and the proper weapons of a diplomatist. My conviction is that in speaking the language of truth and jus tice—speaking it calmly and with moderation, but yet with firmness, never disguising the truth, the influence of this country is to be sustained and aug mented, without any of those intrigues to which those who think themselves clever diplomatists are apt to resort. (Hear, hear.) Such, gentlemen, is the view which the present Government have adopted. When they assumed office there was a great contest going on in the shape of an active war which presently ceased,but then took another form. In that contest a great country, eminently civilised —full of men of talent and genius, men of an as piring disposition, took a part. The question was, what was the fitting course for the English Go vernment to pursue ? The course which we pursued from the commencement, which was an nounced by my noble friend in the House of Com mons, which we have repeatedly declared since then, and which my right hon. friend the Home Secretary stated last year in the Guildhall, on Lord Mayor's-day was this—that we should do every thing in our power to give the Italians fair play, to leave them to settle their government for them selves, and to say what manner of government and what persons to donduct it they deemed best suited to their own interests. (Hear.) And if, gentlemen, in the course of the changes which have taken place, the Italia, people have thought fit to expel a dynasty—if they have thought fit to call another Prince of another family to assume the rule over them with a view to obtain good govern ment, I think that, seeing it is what we have done ourselves, we should be the last persons to blame them. (Hear, hear.) And when we reflect further that that act of our ancestors, that expulsion of a Sovereign who had misgoverned, that call to the throne of a Prince endowed with heroic qualities, has given us 170 years of liberty and prosperity, I believe, as great as any people ever enjoyed, of prosperity as remarkable as the history of any part of the globe will furnish—l say, when such have been the consequences, it is not for us to censure others, who, following our example, hope for the same liberty and the same prosperity. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, my noble friend Lord Elgin is engaged in a most difficult task in China. Upon him and his colleague, the representative of the French Emperor, depends the choice of the course to be pursued—a course which may involve the safety of all British merchants trading and residing in China, and may affect our future commerce, and all our future relations with that great part of the population of the globe. All I ask of you, gentle. men, is not to give a blind and unlimited confi dence to Lord Elgin, but to give him so much of your confidence and your forbearance as to believe that he, a man of experience in these matters, a man of abilities which no one will deny, will apply that experience and those abilities in the way that he thinks best fitted to secure these great objects, to let not a spot or a speck stain the honour of this country, and at the same time to consult and to cherish the great inte rests of peace. Gentlemen, I ask of you that for bearance and consideration for a man who at 15,000 miles distance has to deal with those great ques tions. Praise has been bestowed, and most justly, on those who in our army and navy have been vindicating our reputation and upholding our in terests. I ask you with the same readiness to give credit to the man who is conducting our diplomatic relations with that distant empire ; and be assured that neither he nor the Government at home will ever permit the character of this country to be tar nished or endangered by anything which may take place there. (Hear.) It is not for ourselves alone that I speak. We occupy a position on the globe too important to be hazarded or lost—a position on which depends in a great measure the future wel fare of other countries. It i s our business, it is our duty to act with moderation, but at the same time never to forget, never to conceal, never to blush for those great principles which h av e made us what we are, and which , I hope, will long maintain us in the same proud position. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON, in proposing the " Health of the Master Warden," said he understood it was the practice of the Salters' Company annually to elect their chief. Far be it from him, who happened to be the chief of another company—(laughter) —the Cabinet, to imply that this rule of the Salters should be introduced into his company. He admired their rule as applied to them, for it had, in producing the election of their present excellent chief, undoubtedly worked most satisfactorily. At the same time, the circumstances of the Cabinet were wholly different, and he did not think it would be equally beneficial to subject its chief to annual election. (Laughter and cheers.) He had the greatest pleasure in proposing the " Health of their worthy Master Warden." The toast was cordially received and briefly acknowledged, and, after a few other complimentary toasts, the company retired. The musical arrangements were under the direc tion of Mr. Francis, who was assisted by the Misses Wells, and Messrs. Benson, Donald King, and G. Buckland. Mr. Harker ably officiated as toast master. The dinner was provided by Mr. Chater and Co., of the London Tavern, and fully sustained the reputation of that establishment. Lord John Manners has left town for Hughenl Manor, on a visit to the Right Hon. B. Disraeli. CHdNI CS' INSTITOZ • Lord Lyttelton, Sir J. S. Paking Adderley, M.P., Sir J. Shuttlewortik -4 Lloyd Baker, Mr. Barnet Blake, and men who take an active part in the _ movement, attended a soiree of the Worcestershire - Union of Educational Institutes, held at Stour bridge on Tuesday. The chair was taken by Mr. Foley, M.P., and there were also present Mr. Brown-Westhead, M.P., Mr. W. 0. Foster, M.P., the Hon. F. H. W. G. Calthorpe M.P., Sir W. Lambert, and many of the clergy Of the district. The report stated the number of institutes that had joined the Union, and it was resolved W admit others—one from Gloucestershire —into the Union. H The is lortdChsHehiAirpl ind i vi dual iAvrdhuaavl enumeratedi efficiency." tchiee nacaddresseddy.vl the meeting, Llrd LYTTELTON moved the first resolutio n "That unions of Mechanics Institutes lead to in creasentthea then from an uni on o f those of a district, whereby mutual_ aid could be rendered to each other. Sir J. KAYE SHUTTLEWONTH seconded the reso gmessedlv derivable s a b n l first from me ch an i cs ' institutes d reso lution. gir J. PAKINGTON moved the next resolution : That in order to secure the benefits of general examinations every effort should be made to pro mote the establishment of classes at individual in stitutes." After some introductory remarks, he said he did not recede one iota from the opinion which he had ex pressed in public and in private over and over again in various counties of England and in the House of Commons, that the greatest boon that we could extend to our countrymen, and the greatest benefit that we could confer on our country, t o promote, and to extend a was to organise , system of sound education for the people. (Cheers.) The word " education" was a large and comprehen sive word. It consisted of many parts. The con struction that was most commonly placed on it when used in public assemblies, and in classes connection England,w th the great body of the working and the sense in which they were mostitnhethehal of applying the word, was, as m eanin g elemen tary rudimentaryildileation, of the working g gc r l e as u s n e d s. (Hear.) Schools for children must be t he work for all education, and they had all heard of the insufficiency of those schools. They had all heard of the badness of schools, and they had heard of the religious difficulties which unhappily, and he (Sir John) thought unnecessarily, had too long beset the subject. They had all heard, too, of the financial difficulties which beset the subject. All these vari ous matters, directly bearing on the subject of edu cation, had been referred for consideration to Royal Commission. He hoped they would shortly receive the report of that commission, and that when that report was placed in their hands they would find pointed out in it the mode in which several, if not all, of those difficulties were to be removed. But, whatever the recommendations in that report might be, and however successful it might be in pointing out the remedies for those difficulties, the present state of the population and the demand.' made upon them were such that elementary educe-. tion must and would cease at about the age of 12 years. Sir J. Kaye Shuttleworth had referred to the Act of Parliament requiring that all children employed in factories should be educated up to 13 years of age, but, taking the age of 12 years as the point at which elementary education among chil dren of the working classes ended, he felt that he was placing it practically at a high level. His be lief was that, in the various distinctions which ex isted between the social position of the richer and the poorer classes of this country, none was greater than as respected the age at which education ceased. The children of the wealthy were considered at the age of 12 years as rather at the commencement than at the termination of their education. It was about the close of the first stage of education, the stage at which the pupil was at the little boys' school ; after that he would probably go to the school for older boys, and thence to one of the Universities, or some other training ; but with the humbler classes education terminated altogether at the age of 12 years. And what was the result ? That while the wealthy classes from the age of 12 to '2l were taking up knowledge continually, and every year cultivating more and more the human intellect, in too many cases the children of the working classes were forgetting what they had learnt before. (Hear, hear.) They saw the result of this practically in life. What was the cause of the intellectual superiority of the wealthy over the working-classes of society ? It was the influence of education. Of this a remark able illustration might be pointed out in that new, but he hoped permanent, institution of England, the Volunteers. They had been told that the Volun teer Riflemen became in point of drill and in the skilful use of their weapons in three months equal to the ordinary soldier of the regular army in a year and a quarter. (Hear.) Why this difference ? It was because the one was better educated than the other, because he had acquired during the early years of his life an aptitude, a power of using his faculties, which enabled him to acquire more readily whatever skill was required, whether in volunteer exercise, in trade, or in any other industrious employment to which he might direct his attention. This was the value of mechanics' institutes. They stood to the working man in the place which public schools and universities held in relation to the wealthier classes. The only difference was that the children of the wealthy man were sent to the public schools and universities by their parents, whereas with the working men all that could be done was to offer them their opportunities of im provement. He believed most sanguinely that there must result a great addition to the material pros perity if we could induce working men generally to avail themselves of these opportunities ; and he agreed with Sir J.
