STAMPED, SD, PUBLICATIONS. ante of my duty in that arduous post it was lately my lot to occupy during a long succession of years and under circumstances of no common interest. In giving the simple characteristie of duty to my very imperfect services he, perhaps unconsciously, raised them for the moment to a position of which if they were otherwise deserving, it would only be on acoount of their extensive bearing-and beneficial consequences. It was the unswerving sense of duty, so conspicuous in all their actions,' that invested the imperishable achievements of Nelson and Wel lington with something more solid, if not more cap tivating, than glory. (Cheers.) Their zeal in meeting every demand of the public service, in shrinking from no personal sacrifice in carrying out their principles to the end, and in setting an ex ample of steadiness under every trial, is that which gives them the strongest and deepest hold on a world's applause and a nation's gratitude. If I have acted on the whole in their spirit, and shown as occasions offered that duty and right principle were ever the loadstars of my course, I have only obeyed a conviction whi c h yon, no doubt, possess in common with me, that the honour of our country, the success of its policy, and oar national character can never rest more surely than on. thosefounda tions. (Loud cheers.) Let me add, that reputations acquired by such means not only encircle us with honour in life, but give to our names the lustre of useful example when our bodies are consigned to the grave. There is an old proverb, gentlemen, not the less true for being trite, which reminds us that the worst wind blowing will often bring good to some one. It is thus that I am indebted to an accident for the pleasure of meeting you here to day, and of laying the foundation stone of a build ing destined to form the terminal station of your railway at this extremity of the line. If the noble frigate in which I came from the Dardanelles had met with no mischance, I could not, however willing, have complied with your request. Its detention, the unavoidable cause of mine, though otherwise much to be lamented, has been attended with more than one consoling consequence. It has, in par tioular, afforded me the sincere gratification of meeting your wishes, and associating my name with an enterprise which, though its progress has been delayed by some unforeseen obstacles, bids fair to be crowned ere long with the desired success, and to become, in fact, the keystone of that gigan tic arch described so happily by our Chairman. (Cheers.) A railway extending to the distance of 70 or 80 miles, from a port of so much trade as Smyrna to the centre of a district so rich in varied and valu able productions as that of Aidin is in itself a work of no small importance. It promises not only fo cheapen and quicken the conveyance of goods from the place of their growth to the port of shipment, but also to increase production as well as trade in these parts, for the common advantage of Turkey and England, by no means excluding other coun tries connected with this by habits of commercial intercourse. (Cheers.) The railway, as you know, is expected to prove a beneficial investment 'of capital, stimulating the introduction of our manu factures, while it offers occupation to many labourers, and seems to bring those of different nations into harmonious co-operation with each other. But, viewed in the light of an example, as the first experiment of the kind in Asiatic Turkey, it possesses much higher claims on our attention and favour. (Hear.) The difficulties it presents are in character the same as those which have to be encountered in similar undertakings of a larger proportion. If our distinguished chairman were at liberty to realise his colossal project—a project not inaptly styled by him the world's highway, having no less in view than to join by rail Calcutta with London, the British Indies with the British Islands—he could only anticipate a repetition of obstacles similar in nature, though varying in de gree or frequency, and tax his resources to provide for each contingency by corresponding means ac cording to its nature and extent. If this be true —and true it is—the success of your present rail way will in all likelihood be the precursor of similar triumphs in other parts of this vast empire, and on such a presumption it would re quire no great stretch of fancy to foresee a time when the Ottoman, as now the British dominions may be intersected throughout by a network of iron communication. (Hear, hear.) So grand a eonsumation is not to be desired on grounds of com mercial interests alone. It could hardly be effected without commensurate improvements in all the leading branches of Turkish Administration, — without a progressive diminution of abuses, preju dices, and national animosities,—without a signal advancement in the ideas and comforts of the whole population. The property created by it would call for securities in matters of police, of finance, and ad ministrative justice. (Hear, hear.) The strength of the empire would revive in proportion to the development of the resources, and the Powers of Europe would cease to withhold their respect from a Government so conducted as to obtain their con fidence. As matters now stand, if we are witnesses to much real improvement under the present reign, and to some perceptible indications of more in future we have also strong motives for regretting the slow, interrupted, and partial character of its progress. "Whatever may be the causes which operate to retard the movement, they are not to be deplored with idle lamentation, but to be met with strenuous and persevering exertions for their removal. (Loud cheers.) I need not tell you, gentlemen, that Europe has more than ever a deep stake in the regeneration of Turkey. 'Western civilisation is knocking hard at the gates of the Levant, and if it be not allowed to win its way into regions where it has hitherto been admitted so par tially, it is but too capable of forcing the passage and asserting its pretensions with little regard for anything but their satisfaction. The ambition of one Power and the fear of another may easily give point and direction to this prevailing tendency, and in times of change and enterprise any inciden tal circumstance may serve far sooner than we ex pect to bring on, not indeed the peaceable solution of what is emphatically styled the Eastern Ques tion,' but that fierce struggle of partition which our ablest statesmen have long endeavoured to avert. (Hear.) A prelude to dangers so pregnant ,with evil is to be found in the despondency and dis paragement which of late have too often charac terised the language of diplomacy and of the press in speculating on the prospects of Turkey. It can not be denied that by reason of successive errors and calamities Turkey is feeble and embarrassed. But no one, at the same time, can dispute the rich ness of its resources, those neglected elements of power which its wide circumference embraces, and which only require to be explored in order to supply its wants and secure its independence. No doubt there are difficulties in the way. What schoolboy dons not know that everything great and good is Only to be established by assiduous labour and unwcarying perseverance ? Take the whole list of great discoveries, of great institutions, of great reforms, of great transitions from one state of society to another, and show me where are those which have not been born in sorrow, nurtured in hardship, and established with difficulty. Was Rome built in a day ? Was there only one Punic war ? What happened to Columbu3 before he realised his great conjecture P Was Brit• ' LlUlibe r t y the work of a single age ? 'Was the Reformation, was Christianity itself flashed instantaneously upon the world by a fiat from above ? I remember that, being in America. I witnessed the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the landing of the pil grims in New England. How many fruitless at tempts, how many abortive sacrifices were made before that corner-stone of the great Transatlantic commonwealth was laid ? The contrivances of man would seek in vain to outstrip the operations of nature.

STEPHEN SON responded to the toast and said,—" That he was not surprised at the cordial manner in which they had drunk success to the Smyrna and Aidin Railway. As the first work of the kind in the Ottoman Empire, it possessed a more than ordinary interest, and its successful com pletion must have a special influence on all futtre enterprises of a like nature. He had visited the line yesterday, and he could not too highly express the gratification he had experienced, or say too much of the skill with which the line had been laid out, or of the zeal which had distinguished the operations of the contractor and his agents. Mr. Meredith, the engineer, had byhis experience in England and Holland earned for himself a European reputation. Mr. Jackson, the contractor, was distinguished as a man who always did well whatever he undertook, and he was ;fortunate in having in Mr. Hammond, his resident agent at Smyrna, a gentleman who combined Indian with English experience. Mr. Meredith was efficiently supported by his staff engineers, and the progress of the works reflected the greatest credit on all eancerned. It was a most welcome spectacle to see on every part of the line as many workmen as could be profitably employed thereon. Not a cutting or embankment that did not swarm with labourers. Nor were the hum of the voices of those busy men, the creaking of carts and barrow wheels, and the roar of the blasting of the rocks sounds less welcome to his ears, for they gave assurance that a great work was being carried on with a zeal and energy that must bring it to a successful conclusion. Fortified with the local experience he had now obtained, he could assure his brother directors that their most sanguine ex pections for the success of the undertaking would be more than realised, whether as regarded goods or passenger traffic. He would only give one instance of the development the trade of the district would receive from the opening of the lin e . That morning Mr. Baltazzi had told him ho was bringing tobacco from the interior at a cost of 4s. a ton per mile. When the railway was mado tobacco would come to Smyrna at 4d. a ton per mile—a saving of 1-12th, or 92 per cent. Before sitting down he might be allowed to remind those around him of one great advantage that railways in Turkey possessed over those at home, where the cost of land and legislative litigation ran away with so much of the capital, and so seriously cut into the dividends of the shareholders. In Eng land a few years since railroads cost on an average £50,000 a-mile ; the Smyrna and Aidin Railway would be made for £lO,OOO or £12,000 a-mile, or 75 per cent, less, while the enormous traffic was too well known to need recapitulation. In conclusion, he would express his acknowledgments to the Turkish authorities, both at the capital and in Smyrna, for their scrupulous observance of their constant endeavour to promote in every way the success of the li ne . Th e S u lt an hi mse lf h a d shown his strong personal interest in the railway by taking a large number of shares, and he thought the share holders could not too highly estimate the effect of such powerful support.

At all events, it is due to the honour and welfare of Europe that promises solemnly promul gated and r ecor d e d in formal treaties should not remain a dead letter, that the treasure and blood expended in her name for the vindication of Turkish rights should not be an idle sacrifice; and thattthe declared admission of Trukey into the great Euro pean family should be felt by the Ottoman Govern ment as a reality in its obligations as *well as in its benefits. (Loud cheers.) To England. more than any other Power it is of vital importance that the strength of Turkey should not so decline as to warrant those evil foreboding which tend inevit- I ably to the adoption of a despairing and encroach ing policy in the Levant. It is manifestly our business to deprecate such perverse and interested calculations, and to encourage those fertilizing eats rprises which, like your railway, may help to infuse new vigour into the veins and sinews of Turkey. (Prolonged cheers.) I revert once more to the example of our brothers in 'America. Behold them, on one side, stretching out their hands to us across the Atlantic, and on the other creating fresh settlements in the wilder ness, by pushing their railway lines into its pathless swamps and unexplored forests. (Cheers:) For one, wherever my future sphere of action may be, I shall not lightly abandon the hopes which I con tinue to cherish in favour of this interesting em pire. Let the Sultan's enlightened and compre hensive charter of reform be carried into effeet in a right spirit, and sustained with due perseverance. Turkey needs, and Europe would demand, no more. Meanwhile, the policy which it has been my endea vour to uphold possesses at least the merit of being right in its direction and beneficial in its progress. It is based on the two-fold interest of Europe and Turkey. (Hear, hear.) It has already diminished in no slight degree those corrupt and. cruel abuses which were injurious alike to the Sultan's Govern ment and to his subjects of all classes. It pro mises, even if it should fail in reaching its final aim, to diminish still more those evils which no other proposed course of policy is at all likely to remove. (Cheers.) Such, gentlemen, in few words, are the opinions I entertain conscientiously on this subject. I express them now in my individual character ; and the time may come when I shall, perhaps, think it my duty to give them a more complete development. At Constantinople they formed the principal object of my study. Hencefor ward they will come under my notice as part of that wider field which every member of the Im perial Legislature is, more or less, called upon to investigate. In resigning the Embassy at Con stantinople it was not my intention to retire defini tively from all participation in public affairs. While life and health are vouchsafed to me I shall not be unprepared to sacrifice on suitable occasions, private ease to public duty. (Loud cheers.) Though at my time of life I have no ambition to indulge whatever remains to me of strength and spirit shall be heldf or the service of that land to which, under Providence, I am indebted for all I most value on earth. (Cheers.) In the bold and expansive genius of our enterprising Chairman, in the ability, character, and education of those who, under his auspices, apply the fresh zeal of youth or the experience of riper age to the operations of practical science, I see a new stage of usefulness and glory opening to our common country. The railway which it has been my pleasing office to in augurate this day belongs to another empire, but is equally a type and result of those qualities which characterise pre-eminently the English people. (Cheers.) I eongratalate you on having obtained not only the Sultan's imperial sanction to your en terprise, but also his Majesty's personal participa tion as a shareholder. I cannot more appropriately conclude than by proposing a toast to which I have no doubt that you will all most cordially re spond, " Success, with three times three, and one cheer more, to the Smyrna and Aidin Railway.

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 agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages o f life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to m odern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, h a ppiness, and privileges to which every huma n b e i ng i s en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot Le violated without i ncurring grievous p enalties, and when wisdom and regret s the tie s m heyday aybe o f mitigated,i oo inconsiderateself indulgence, how th o may be avoded, and, above all, th a t and its consequences i Piny of their bitterness m a y be removed, and how th e ev i l u se cce p e e d nal aidcannot appl y there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functi ona l of science derangement to which the timely a cure. 1 • Horne, 1, Leicester and may be had of Mann, 39, Cornhil , 9 t or from the Author, Published by J.

Ssvn.NA, Oct. 30.—During the past • week all SmYrna has been in a state lit:excitement, owing 'to the arrival of Lord Stralforzt-de Racliffe. One of his principal objects . in visiting the - glace was to illipect the works of the Smyrna and. Aidin Rail way, in the success of which enterprise—the first railroad commenced in Turkey—he has Always taken the greatest interest. On Thursday, at noon, ho proceeded to the terminus at *Daragaz Point, where the harbour connentettwith the:riiilway will be formed. Here he found A-:scene of to which he had probably known no parallel during his long. experience of the East. .The carpenters' sheds were filled with English and Greek n.echanies, hard at Work with saw, plane, and chisel. Stone cutters 'and masons were dreitiling the blocks des tined for bridges and culverts, while on the line of rails' close by the engines arrived with trains of ballast destined- for the raised ground at the station and warehouses. After inspecting the various works and examining the plans of the engineers and architect, his Lordship proceeded up the _line to the rock cuttings made through the valley of St. Ann. Several waggons had been fitted up with seats and covered with awnings, but Lord Stratford, who seemed in most excellent health and spirits, determined to ride on the locomotive itself. Accordingly, accompanied by Mr. Blunt, her Majesty's Consul, and Mr. Meredith, the company's chief engineer, he mounted the " St. Sophia," and proceeded at a rapid pace along the line. After a long and minute examination of the works hnreturned to the town, and, as the Curagoa was detained in harbour for a few days, he con sented to lay the foundation stone of the great ter minal station at Smyrna. The progress made dur ing the present year in the execution of the railway works has been most satisfactory. Upwards of 2,400 men are employed on different parts of the line, and there are few nationalities which are not represented. Good wages and regular, employment have enabled the contractor to procure any amount of labour he requires. It was prophesied that during the fruit season the great demand for men in the fig-gardens and vineyards, and in the pack ing warehouses, would cause the railway works to be abandoned. However, very few deserted their posts, and their places were immediately demanded by a host of applicants. Many of these men now handle pick and shovel with all the skill, if not with all the force, of an English navvy, and they have acquired habits of patient industry at utter variance with the ordinary ideas of Eastern charac ter. The line is about 70 miles in length, and is di vided into three sections. The first, 45 miles long, extends from Smyrna to a range of mountains called the Saladin Dagh, dividing the valley of the Kayster from that of the Meander. The whole energies of the contractor have until recently been applied to this section. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a passage from the low ground of Smyrna to the plain of Boriza, over which the line runs for many miles. These difficulties have now been conquered, and the earthworks and cuttings are nearly ready for the rails as far as the village of Sedikoi, ten miles from Smyrna. Thence to the Saladin Dagh the country is perfectly flat, and there is no doubt that this section will be open for traffic in the course of next year. The second section consists of a tunnel through the mountain into the plain of the Meander. Upwards of 500 workmen are now occupied in sinking three shafts, and the tunnel will therefore be worked from several points simultaneously. The third section extends from the mountain, up the valley of the Meander, to Aidin. There are few districts across which a greater traffic exists than that between Aidin and Smyrna. Nearly the whole of the fruit and tobacco that are exported hence come down this track, and during the busy mouths upwards of 5,000 camels arrive daily at the Caravan bridge. Being the first railway commenced in Turkey, unusual interest was excited by the cere mony of laying the foundation-stone of the station which Lord Stratford had appointed for 11 o'clock to-day. Precisely at that hour Sir M. Stephenson, chairman of the board of directors, who had arrived the previous day from England to examine the works and expedite the opening of the first section, proceeded to the Point. He was there joined by the engineers' and contractors' staff, and by many of the leading bankers and merchants of the place. The Pasha and sub-governor also came in state, and Lord Stratford was conveyed in one of the boats of her Majesty's ship Curagoa. He was accompanied by Lady Stratford de Redcliffe, the Hon. Misses Canning, and the noblemen and gentlemen attached to his late mission, as well as by the British Consul, Mr. Blunt, and his family. An engine and waggons run down to the extremity of the line brought the party to the spot at which the foundation-stone was to be laid. After a short prayer had been offered by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, the stone was duly lowered, and Lord Stratford trowel and mallet in hand—performed the ceremo nies usual on such occasions. The party then adjourned to a tent which had been prepared by the contractor, and which was most tastefully decorated with flags supplied from the Curaeoa. After an excellent dejeuner, the chairman, Sir Macdonald Stephenson, proposed " The Health of the Queen," which was succeeded by that of " The Sultan." Each of these toasts was responded to with three times three English cheers, to the surprise and delight of the Pasha and his suite. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose "The Health of his Excellency Lord Stratford de Redcliffe," and said,—That every one present must feel the diffi culty under which he laboured in attempting to do justice to the name of a man who throughout his long career of Eastern diplomacy had so per severingly upheld the honour and dignity of his native country, and so consistently supported the best interests of Turkey. (Cheers.) He felt him self wholly inadequate to express the sentiments which he and all around him must feel for the ser vices that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had ren dered not only to Turkey, but to Europe at large —services so signal that the names of Canning and Constantinople would for ever be associated to gether. (Loud cheers.) When he reflected on the particular occasion which had united so many persons that day it seemed to him a singularly happy coincidence that the laying the foundation stone of the great terminal railway station it Smyrna had been reserved for Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. By this act he might be said to have in serted:the keystone of the arch at which he had so long .laboured for the consolidation of European interests with those of Turkey. The present act was by no means the least in Lord Stratford's long and glorious career, and he could only express his conviction that the rail way and the electric telegraph were destined under Divine Providence, to bring to maturity those fruits, the seeds of which his lordship had so suc cessfully implanted in the Ottoman Empire. He would conclude by wishing his lordship's health and happiness in the repose which he had so ho nourably earned for himself, and by proposing " The Health of his Excellency Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe." The toast having been drunk with three times three, and most enthusiastically applauded, Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, on rising, was received with immense cheering, and spoke as fol -" Our respected Chairman, Ladies and Gen /emen, in propossng my health as one of the very limited number of toasts intended on this occasion, has done me an honour founded on your kindness far more than on any merit of my own. He has pjaced my name in immediate connexion with those of our most gracious Sovereign, whom we so affec tionately revere, and of the munificent Sultan under whose protecting auspices we are now assembled. He enhanced, if it be possible, even this high di s- lows: — ' tinction when he described me as being entitled to your favour by the steady and succes frl per`orin- TILE ARMY Orders have been received at Chatham gitirison for the following troops to be held in readiness to embark for India for the purpose of reinforciig the respective regiments now serving in' Bengal, Ma dras, and Bombay, viz. men of the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regt. from the first depot battalion; 12 men of the 29th Regt., from the 2d battalion ; 23 men of the Bth (the King's) Regt., 30 men of the sth Regt:; 18 men of the 81st Regt., and 20 Caen of the 94th. Regt., from the 3d battalion. The fellow ing officers were under orders to embark for India : Capt. W. I. Anderson, 32d Lied Infantry ; Lieut: T. Lloyd, 35th Regt. ' • Lieut. W. C. D r ib erg ,94th ; Ensign C. B. Crease, Ist batt., Bth ; Ensign A. M. Handley and Ensign I. F. Fraser, Ist batt., 19th ; Ensign - T. P. Butler, 24th ; Ensign W. Boycott, 29th ; Ensign G. Finnerby, 75th ; and Engign C. Rochfort, 81st. In addition to the above troops, the following reinforcements ars awaiting embarka tion for Calcutta :-66 men of the Royal Artillery, from Woolwich; 65 men of the 7th HuEss and 10 of the 90th Light Infantry, from Cant erbury; 20 men of the let batt. 6th Foot, 90 men of the 34th, 30 men of the 37th, 12 men of the 88th, and 14 men of the 97th, from Colchester. After only a v ery short interval another inEtance of the infliction of corporal punishment on a private soldier has just taken place at Chatham garrison. Scarcely a week elapses but there are severa l pri soners brought to trial by court-martial at Chatham either for selling their regimental necessaries for a few pence—deserting and re-enlisting • into other corps, thereby defrauding Government t o. a consi derable extent—insubordinate conduct—or com mitting acts of robbery by stealing from their com rades. Different modes of punishment hive been adopted to check these offences, but to little or no purpose, and the courts martial have therefore re cently determined on resorting to more severe punishment. The prisoner who was sentenced to undergo corporal punishment was a private of the Ist batt. 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, named Jones, ordinate his crime being that of highly ins con duct in the presence of the whole of the troops as sembled on the parade-ground, in resolutely refus ing to obey the commands of the adjutant el the battalion, and also with using language of a highly mutinous character towards the same officer. For these offences the court sentenced him to receive 50 lashes and also to be imprisoned for ,a length ened period in Fort Clarence. The depot 3 compris ing the 2d battalion assembled on their parade ground at Chatham barracks at an early hour in the • morning, when they were marched to the Spur Battery, where the sentence of the Court was read in the presence of the entire battalion, after which the punishment was initiated, during which the offender displayed a very dogged demeanour. On being released he was conveyed to the Garrison Hospital, and will, on leaving that establishment, be sent to the military prison at Rochester. The prisoner during the short time he has been in the service bears the character of being one of the very worst men in his depot. Major Melchior, an officer otthe'Preueir - Iniperial Artillery, who is charged with the delivery of the 121 b. howitzer l'Alliance, and appurtenances, con structed on a system invented by the Emperor Napoleon, to her Majesty the Queen, visited Wool wich Arsenal, and conferred with Col. Tulloh, superintendent of the Royal carriage department, on the subject of the presentation, which, it is stated, will take place to-day. Col. Tulloh is ordered to proceed to Windsor this morning, by direction of General Peel, to assist in the ceremony. ADMIRAL SIR M. F. BERKELEY ON THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. The anniversary meetings of the three societies by which the memory of the munificent Edward. Calston is celebrated were held at Bristol on Sa turday evening. The dinner of the Anchor or Liberal Society was attended by , Lord Ducie,Lord- Lieutenant of Glocestershire • Admiral Sir M. F. Berkeley, K.C.8., the late Senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty ; Col. Berkeley, M.P. ; and the members for the city, Mr. H. Berkeley and Mr. H. G. Langton. The toast of " the Arrny and Navy" having been given, Sir M. F. Berkeley returned thanks on behalf of the latter service in a lengthened speech. He commenced by referring to the letters published by Mr. Kingscote relative to the Deal boatmen, and stated that Mr. Kingscote had writ ten in ignorance of the subject. He asserted that not a single man had been discharged at the end of the Russian war but those who had served their time and desired their discharge ; and he pointed out that no man was receiving a pension for ten years' continuous service because the system of continuous service had only I been in operation five years. The gallant Admiral then addressed himself to the observations made by Lord Hardwicke relative to the condition of the navy, observations which ho was sure the noble lord would on reflection repent. Lord Hardwicke, who was a good sailor, and an ornament to the naval profession, had said that the British navy was in a worse condition than it had been in former days, and that, though this was to be regretted, it arose not from any neglect on the part of the government, butin the improvements daily makin. , in science and art. He (the gallant Admiral) would point to Bir mingham, Sheffield, and other manufacturing towns, and ask whether science and art had placed other countries on a better footing than it kad England ? (Hear.) He admitted that it was not pleasant to pay for science and art, but if the country wished to maintain its maritime supremacy it must build a new navy if foreign nations did so. Lord Hard wicke said that the navy was " absolutely weaker than that of some great Powers near Us ;" but ho differed from the noble lord. He held in his hand the official returns of the British and French navies, and he could give a positive contradiction to Lord Hardwicke's statement. He thought it unwise to publish the figures, but they were at the noble lord's service. He could prove that Great Britain was superior to every other country in materiel, ships, officers, aye, and men.. (Loud cheers.) Lord Hard wicke had also said that, notwithstanding the puffing of the British navy, and - the boast that it was the finest in the world, yet it had done little or nothing to bring the Russian war to a conclusion. Was it nothing to have 18 sail of the line in the Baltic, to destroy Sweaborg, to capture Kertch, and to attack the forts of Sebastopol ? He maintained that historians would have to record that the Russian war proved more than anything else the great mari time power of England. It must be recollected that foreigners were supplied wi th the greater part of their means of transport by the mercantile marine of this country; and when it was known what the crews, both of men-of-war and merchant ships had done, it was idle to say that our ships were inefficiently manned. Lord Hardwicke had declared that the British fleet " went to sea in such a condition as to inflict a positive injustice on the brave officers in command of the ships." He (the gallant Ad miral) would read a single letter of many hundreds he had received ; it was from one of our best offi cers, Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, when captain of the fleet in the Baltic :—" If there are ships the commanding officers of which have complained of their crows on their first landing, a modification of such opinion has taken place ; and, though there are some ships better circumstanced and more effi cient than others, we know no ship that would not accomplish good service in operation against the enemy." Let Lord Hardwick° go to Harry Kep pel, Hall, Paget, Codrington, and fifty other men ;. they would tell him the true story. They never sent him a complaint, but, on the contrary, gave the highest praise to both officers and men. He could, however, understand a Cabinet Minister saying these things, because he wished the country to grant larger supplies for the maintenance of the navy. He agreed with the noble earl that the navy must be increased ; ho was not satisfied that it was large enough ; but what they had would defy competition with any other navy.—Manchester Guardian.
