PRICE 4D• STAMPED, SD. °ARDEN, MAYOR.—In a MEETING or ‘J ASSE3IBLY of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Liverymen of the several companies of the City of London, in Common Hall assembled, at the Guildhall •of the said City, on Wed nesday, the 20th day of September, 1858, Resolved unanimously, that the thanks of the Livery of London, in Common Hall assembled, is hereby given to Sir Robert Walter Carden, Knight, M.l'., Lord %Mayor of this City, for the exemplary manner in which the duties of Chief Magistrate have been performed, and for the way in which lie has so efficiently upheld the rights of his fellow-citizens and the dignity of this great Corporation generally. Resolved unanimously, That the cordial thanks of this Common Hall be given to William Lawrence, Esq., and Wil liam Ferneley Allen, Esq., Aldermen and Sheriffs of this City, and Sheriff of the County of Middlesex for the past year, for the zeal, ability, and integrity with which they have discharged the important duties attached to the ancient and responsible offices which they have filled with Ratisfaction to their friends and benefit to the public, for their kind attention to, and liberal support of, the charities of this great metro polis, for the unvarying courtesy which has distinguished their conduct to all, and for the punctual and constant atten tion they have given while assisting in the administration of justice, and their earnest desire to mitigate the severity of law with the tenderness of mercy whenever they could do so consistently with the paramount claim of public duty. PUBLICATIONS. BANQUET AT FISHMONGERS HALL. to introduce the force and influence of Government into that which ought to be matter of private conviction between roan and his own conscience, or if we are even sus pected, upon plausible grounds, of attempting or intending it, our en deavours at improvement will be thrown back in our face as insults, and we shall end by doing more harm than good. (Hear, hear.) lam sure that in this hall there is no need of such words of warning and caution as I have uttered, but in some quarters out of this room such warning may not be superfluous. I haVe been called upon to return thanks for my colleagues the members of the Indian Coun cil, and, considering the almost paternal relation in which the Government of which I am a member stands with re gard to - about one-half of that Council, I feel that I am not the prlson to sipeak in their praise. This I May say, how ever ,'for I can say it with truth, that in selecting those who ara to assist us in the administration of Indian affairs we 'rooked not to Parliamentary connections, not to agreement in English politics, not to personal friendships, but solely to administrative efficiency and acquaintance with the various branches of the Indian service. (Cheers.) lam also bound to say—because criticisms have appeared in a con trary sense—that I think we haven less reason to be satisfied with that election which was the last governmental act per formed by the East India Company. (Hear, hear.) To any one who considers what the position of India is it must be obvious that upon us there devolves a labour which is not light. We have an army to reorganise and an empire to pacify. I confess that When I think of the amount of respon sibility which at this time and in this position devolves upon us—although, perhaps, fortunately for myself, I have not much leisure to reflect upon it—(cheers)-LI am inclined to feel appalled at the weight of the task we have under taken. This consolation at least we have—l believe we are surrounded by those who are competent to give advice as good and as honest as was ever afforded to an Eng lish Minister—(cheers)—and I believe the. English public is just, and will look at least with forbeararie e upon an ear- nest effort to do it service, although the success of that effort may not be commensurate with its object. (Loud cheers.) The noble lord concluded by proposing the health of the Prime Warden, which was drunktitifh the iAtial honours. . - The Pnimr WARDEN' returned House of Commons." MR. BUCHANAIIT, 111. P., AND MR. DALGLISH. M.P. meetings held in Glasgow and other large towns, , coupled with the manly- and independent expres sions of our Scottish press, did more to liberate our two countrymen from the dungeons of Naples than either the Government of Palmerston or Derby. (Loud applause.) Shortly afterwards there was an attempt made by the late party to overturn the Government through a motion brought in by Mr. Cardwell. That motion, as you are aware, was in relation to Lord Ellenborough's despatch. No doubt you have all read that despatch, and the numerous speeches connected with it and the motion, but per haps you will not be aware that there was a large party of the Liberals who would have returned had they not pledged themselves to the measure. (Cheers.) The best was done to carry the motion, and after two or three nights' discussion it came to a point. The night that decided its fate was one of the most amusing scenes which I have seen in the House of Commons during the last session. The amount . of byeplay was most extraordinary. The Conservatives, as well as the Liberals, seemed to be quite ignorant as to what would be the result. They could not guess. One party calculated on a majority of 20 or3o ; while the other party thought they might - have a majority of five or ten. (Laughter.) Under peculiar circumstances, some gentlemen got up and urged the withdrawal of the motion altogether. Cardwell was appealed to, but he pled that he was in the hands of the house, and could do nothing. Palmerston was appealed to. He consulted with his friends, and after much by talk Mr. Cardwell withdrew his motion and the house was saved from an awkward division. With re gard to India, my Colleague has given you a full description of the state of affairs. I must say that I have no great faith in the present bill, as a work ing, practical measure. I question whether the House of Commons did right in deputing the go vernment of India, Or _at least the control_of the Govermitegrof Indld, to , the Crown. India mast be ruled in India, and not in England. All that w' - have got to do. at home is to see that it is welt ruled. (Cheers.) I felt, and still feel, that when ,thcoliouss of Cot }e came to the resolution they were boun'a look-Mr the proper goverrunent of 'lndia. I doubt whether they have done well in giving the power to 15 irresponsible persons. I should have much preferred it being given to secre taries, who would be responsible to the House of Commons directly. In - respect to reform, that will be one of the principal objects which will en gage the attention of Parliament in the early part of the session. I don't know what views the Con servative party may have on.the subject, but if they bring forward measures to meet the wishes>of the Liberal party, I am certain their supporters, will turn round on them. (Laughter.) We need scarcely calculate on anything from them. They will take the franchise from many of• the burghs, and God knows there are many burghs that deserve to be disfranchised--(hisses)- -- but instead of throwing them into the county, it is" possible they will remain in groups. I can only assure you, if you wish to secure good reform measures, the men df Glasgow and other large towns must move in the matter. (Hear, hear.) Let them give some indi cation of what the country wants ; and let Govern ment know that the country must have it, and be assured we will get on much better.

Invitations had been sent to the members of the new Council for India, and the presence of several members of that body, including Lord Stanley, the President, Lieut.- Colonel Sir H. Rawlinson, K.C.B , Sir H. Montgomery, Captain Eastwick, Mr. R. Mangles, M.P., and Mr. A. Ar buthnot, gave unusal eclat to the assembly. Among the general visitors were the Count de Montebello, Lieutenant- Colonel Donnelly, Captain Bedford Pim, R.N., Captain Collinson, R.N., Mr. George Mathew (late her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Odessa), Mr. J. R. Crowe, Professor Cape, Dr. King, Messrs. James Murray, Joseph Leschir, Edward Welch, G. Frederick, F. Hodges, Her bert L. Smith, and Travers. An excellent dinner was pro vided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, and the'arrangements, under the direction of Mr. W. B. Tovrse, the clerk to the company, were in every respect admirable. The Prime Warden (Mr. T. Boddington) occupied the chair. On Monday night the two members for the city met their constituents in the City-hall, Glasgow: There was a numerous attendance. " The precepts for the regulation of their com more, and their pi getice in regard to it, are in much the same state of opposition to each other. The teaching of one of their wisest men, an old mandarin called Adam Smith, whose injunctions the most enlightened among them profess to follow, may be summed up M these words, The most effective way of advancing the wealth and great ness of a nation is for the Legislature to allow every mpn to dispose of his industry and capital to the best advantage he can, without favouring him on the one hand by protection, or imposing restraints upon him on the other, and when universal justice triumphs this principle will regulate the commer cial policy of the world.' How different is their practice from this, and yet they profess to be guided by such precepts. " The political creed of these people i s a l so equally opposed to their practice, for they profess to believe that all men are equal, but their acts completely give the lie to their words. " When, in addition to all this, it is considered that this nation is at the present time. sending their fireships and great numbers of their 'Braves to our country to fight us, because we do ',tot wish to trade with them on the terms which trey choose to dic tate, and that they have already taken forcible pos session of one of our chief cities; I. think it must be allowed that this attempt to 1 - ..,x us is very wicked as well as unreasonable and IEIST'S RACING RECORD for 1858. -1: fart VIII., price 3d., will be published on the Ist of October.

After the cloth was drawnthe PuIME WARDEN gave the usual loyal toasts, which were honoured with the utmost enthusiasm. • The PRIME WARDEN then proposed ." the Army and Navy," and in doing so paid a just tribute to the valour, intrepidity, and forbearance displayed by our troops in India. He coupled with the army the name of Sir H. Rawlinson, whose services in India, as he observed, were well known ; and with the navy the names of Captains Collinson and Pim, both of whom had distinguished them selves in the search for Sir J. Franklin, during which ex pedition the young Frenchman, Lieutenant Bellot—upon whom the Prime Warden pronounced a well-deserved eulogy—unfortunately lost his life. Captain Pim, as the Prime Warden observed, had also been severely wounded at the capture of Canton. Sir H. RAWLINSON, in returning thanks for the army, expressed his satisfaction that the distinction which was formerly maintained between the army .e.f the East India Company. and that of the Eriglish Crown no longer existed. Thanks .in a great measure to the exertions of the noble lord the President of the Council for India (Lord Stanley) every effieer who wore a 6d coat, whether serving in India, in England, 'or in any other part of the world, now enjoyed the privilege of belonging to her Majesty's army. He as= cured the company that, although the cervices of the army were warmly and deservedly appreciated, they were by no means covetous of active service ; and that by no class of men than soldiers were the advantages and blessings of peace more highly appreciated. (Cheers.) Captain COLLINSON, in returning thariks for the navy, paid a tribute of respect to the skill and undaunted courage displayed by the late Sir W. Peel in the organisation and command of the naval brigade; which had rendered such valuable services in -the Crimea and in India. He also eulogised the -services of Captain Thornton Bate, who had assiSted him in the survey of the Chinese waters, and who was recently killed at Canton. . The PRIME WARDEN said, the. toast he had now the honour to propose related to a subject of all others of the greatest interest and importance at the present time—our position and our prospects in India. We were honotired with the presence of several members of that Council which had been appointed for. the administration of our affairs in that empire. When they considered the talent, the local knowledge, .the practical experience possessed by the members of the various sections into which it was divided, they could not but feel every confidence and assur ance that the result would be propitious to our safety and to our success. They were particularly gratified in being honoured with the presence of the noble President of that Council, Lord Stanley—(cheers)--a nobleman whose bril liant talents, unabating energy, broad and comprehensive views, and devotion to the interests of the people were so well known, that he would only say he considered that the , aristocracy of this country ought to be proud in possessing a member so distinguished, who by early and constant study, by great experience acquired in exten sive foreign travel, and by a determination to devote his wind to his country, had gained a reputation which gave true, brilliancy to the - peerage, and would add to the solidity of that House so admirably instituted- by our constitution to connect the Commons, with the Throne. (Cheers.) He would not refer to a rebellion as barbarous and as bloody as it had nigh proved fatal to our footing in India—a re bellion resulting from the over confidence placed in native troops. He would not dilate upon what it had cost this country in sacrifices, in anguish, and in blood. A retribu tion was called for; a just retribution had been inflicted— and :they could only hope that a successful issue might re sult from such a struggle, and that they might profit by the lesson. (Hear, hear.) He hoped he might be per mitted to express a hope that the Government as well as the country at large would be penetrated with the belief that such a dreadful crisis had not been brought on with out the intervention of a merciful PrOvidence to avert a more disastrous catastrophe, and as a warning that-mile lions of souls were not entrusted to the keeping of this country to be dealt with with impunity, but that it was our bounden duty to introduce among them the saving truths of 'Christian faith, before which alone Ave could 6:peer :the. atrocious machinations of fanaticism, idolatry, and super-, stition to disappear, and that we were bound to disseminate in that distant country the broad open light of Gospel reve lation which we boasted of possessing at home, and which must be the beginning, as it was the end, of all real and lasting success.

The PRIME WARDEN said they were honoured with the presence of a distinguished representative of that great and noble nation with which it was our happiness to be on terms not only of peace but of friendship. They had the plea Sure of seeing, as a guest, the Count de Montebello, whose name, so renowned and so popular in France, was as well knOwn as that of the illustrious Marshal Lames, his father—ghat great warrior of the empire whom Napoleon was said most to have consulted, minded, and most to have loved. But as men of peace and citizens they particularly welcomed Count Montebello, as a forcible example of the - improved state of the friendly relations between his coun try and our own—(cheers) --and this welcome must be the warmer when it was recollected that his great warrior parent brought up his children in all the spirit of, in ternational hatred and prejudice, and when they saw that the Duke de Montebello and the Count, his bro ther, were now united to us, not only by sympathy of opinions, not only by consideration of our national charac teristics, but united to us by marriage. (Cheers.) Such was the union all Englishmen wished to see ; not an union for the extension of dominion, butfor the protection of peace —an union under the auspices of which might be carried out those wonderful schemes, discoveries, and inventions which were the boast of the present age—those vast pro mises of moral light and intellectual power which the mere whisperings of - warfare would completely crush, and the glory of which would be transmitted to • another generation instead ofimmertalising our own. (Cheers.) Count MONTEBELLO, in acknowledging the toast, said— Laisaez-reoi, Messieurs, von temoigner toute ma gratitude pour le toast qui vient de vous etre propose et pour l'aceueil que vous itVez•bien voulu lui faire. •Je suis heureux de pou voir vous assurer que les idees que vous venez d'entendro si bien et si noblementrendues sent partagees dans mon pays par tout ce qu'il renfeime de mum genereux et d'esprits eclaires.

The brothers Schlagintwcit, Hermann, Robert, and Adolphe, were sent on a mission_ by the East India Company to explore the Himalaya Moun tains, Tibet, and Central'Asia. This journey was originally suggested by Baron Humboldt and sup ported by the King of Prussia. Adolphe has not returned to Europe, and it is feared that he has perished in his travels. His surviving brothers have given evidence before the committee appointed to 'inquire into the facilities for the colonisation and settlement of India, and, as the result of personal observation, their opinion is very valuable. Their researches extended •from 5 deg. to 37 deg. north latitude, and from 68 deg. to 98 deg. longitude east of Greenwich. The total length of the lines along which the inquiries were carried on amounts, by au approximate calculation, to 18,000 English miles. Meteorological researches were among the special objects of their mission, and these led them to quire into the- salubrity of the Himalaya range,,pnr ticularly in reference to the health of Europeans there permanently settled. In its eastern divisions they pronounce it humid, and at Darjeeling it ap pears that the quantity of rain fall exceeds 120 inches, but both in the centre and at the western termination dampness is considerably reduced. The only valleys of considerable extent through out the Himalaya range are in Nepaul and Cashmere, and are - described as the beds of former lakes.

For the settlement of Europeans in this part of India Cashmere is recommended as the most eligible loca lity, but it does not form a part of the British pos sessions. The climate of Sikkim is mild and tempe rate, but has the disadvantage of great moisture, the rainfall exceeding 120 inches, in consequence of which Europeans are exposed to dfspepsia, who get cured by removing to Tibet, chiefly o wi ng t o th e dryness of the atmosphere in that country. In Tibet some villages are inhabited at a height of 14,000 ft. —in the Himalayas the range is from 11,000 to 11,500 feet.

".My ever honoured Progenitor,—l send th writing to let you know: of my health and my doingi in this land of.the outside barbarians, where I have nowbeen a - dweller for more than 30 moon, and where I arrived in a barbarian ship after sailing over the mighty. waters for three moons. My heart was sad - on leavm6. the Central Flowery Land, and. I fully resolved, it Heaven prospered my under taking; that I Would soon return to pay due hon ours to the shades of my ancestors, and eventually lay my bones with theirs in the fields of happy re pose. Shortly do I hope to see you again, my re spected parent. May-4ength of days be your por tion and eternal felicity your reward. I will now tell you about the things of the barbarians in this outside wilderness, that you may tell it to those of my countrymen who , wish to come here to dig for gold. I have applied myself diligently, in obe dience to your command, to acquire the . knowledge of the barbarians, and to their learned men and re ligious teachers I have not been deaf. I . think their words .very good, and that if they would themselves practise only a little of what they are so anxious to teach others, I could find no fault with them. Many of their maxims and precepts are worthy of being treasured up and held in re- membrane equally with those of the great Coven ciu.s himself. This is one of their principal precepts, tke excellence of which moved me to inquire fur ther into their doctrines—' Do as you would that others should do unto you.' Another is, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.' Their sacred books teach that all mankind are brothers—of one flesh ; and the Great Teacher whom they profess to follow, and from whom the name of their religion is derived, is said to have left as one of his greatest commandments the injunction, Love one another.' I was highly delighted with this, and thought that the people who followed such teaching must be worthy examples to others, particularly when I learnt that t l l-3- spared no trouble or expense in sending their Bonzes (priests) to distant parts of the world to teach these excellent things to the most miserable and ilegraded of mankind ; and I foolishly thought they would hail the coming of my coun trymen among them with great joy, in order that they might impart to them the benevolent doctrines of their own religion. But now, alas ! when I know these people better, I sec plainly that they wish to make up by their zeal in teaching others for their remissness and neglect in practising these golden rules themselves.

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 hag of bones." lie 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, &e., 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. _ EDMOND S. STATES, Chairman 142, Strand, London, W.C.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the li Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting*, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD S93ARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the - University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., Ar.e. The essential object of this treatise is to point ant 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 of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the l'ealth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, a n d when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, th a t there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Much as I should at any time have felt the compliment you have paid me, I have peculiar reasons for appreciating it at the present moment, because I have now , the privilege of addressing you, not merely as an acquain tance, but as a near neighbour. It is here, in this city of London, and very near to this spot, that the greater part of my time, and of that of several of the gentlemen by whom I am surrounded, is now passed; and I think I may say for my colleagues in the Indian Council, as well as for my self, that as we met with such a reception in the east we shall not bo in any particular haste to migrate westwards. (Laughter and cheers.) Your chairman has been pleased to connect my name with the government of India. I do not wish to revive, or even to allude to past controversies but this I may be permitted to say—that throughout those Parliamentary discussions which ended in the transfer of the Indian government from the East India Company to the Executive of this country, that change was uniformly represented by me and by those colleagues with whom I acted as not being in the nature of a penal proceeding—as not involving any sentence -of condemnation against the administration- of that great Company whose century of empire has come to an end. (Cheers.) We regarded it—and I think rightly—as a change which was a natural, and even a necessary result of the lapse of time and the progress of events. I believe that that change will be productive of benefit to India. I hope it may lead to the larger introduc tion into that country of European energy, enterprise, and thought. (Cheers.) But I cannot conceal from myself, and I do not conceal from you, that if that change of rule has increased the opportunities possessed by the Govern ment of this country, it has also augmented, in a similar degree,- the responsibilities which attach to us. (Hear.) We have to guard against a double danger. Wo have to protect India from the fluctuations of Parliamentary poli tics, and to protect England from the more indirect and remote, but perhaps not less real, risk which may arise from the connection of its Executive with an executive which is necessarily despotic. (Hear, hear.) I believe —and rejoice to believe—that as the insurrection of the last 15 months is gradually dying out, so also the exasperation of feeling which prevailed in this country against the natives of India—and which, under all the circumstances, one can hardly regard with astonishment, though it may be a matter of regret—is in course of gradual extinction with the cause to which it owed its origin, and will at no distant period—if it has not already done so—give plate to a better and habitual frame of mind. I think, however, we should remember that it is not only from ill will or ill feelings on our part, but also from uninformed and mis directed efforts for doing good, that our influence and Government in India have been exposed to danger. (Hear, hear.) We do, I believe, regard—and undoubtedly we ought to regard—the natives of India as persons towards whom it is our duty to feel good will, and for whose welfare it is our duty to labour; but that is not enough. It is not enough to regard them as objects upon whom our benevolence may be exercised, or as persons upon whom it is in our power to operate important changes for good. We must look upon them also as men with whom, and not against whom, we have to work—as men with feel ings of their own—(hear, hear)—as men who, although politically subject to us, have a sense of their own rights and a respect for their own independence—(hear, hear)—and as men who will be apt to be all the more tenacious of their intellectual independence and national customs because of the political subjection in which they are held. (Hear.) There can be no doubt that the position of a conquering and governing race confers many advantages as regards the influence which may be exercised over a conquered people ; but that position carries with it this disadvantage —that a conquering race almost inevitably displays a certain sense of superiority—a certain arrogance, if that be not too harsh a word to use—a certain disregard of the feelings of others, which, not being placed under such circumstances, it is hardly possible for us to undels stand. I do not hesitate to say that, unless we keep within proper bounds our feeling of national superiority, unless we remember carefully, and even jealously, to respect the feelings, and even the prejudices of those .with whom .we have to deal—aboVe, all, if-- we attempt A selection of vocal music was performed during the evening by a choir, under the direction or Mr. W.

DEER STALKING.—Among the sporting incidents of the month we are enabled to mention that in the island of Mull, the woods of Scalastle, on the estate of Lochbuy, were driven for deer on the 22d instant, by'Maclaine of Lochbuy and party. Capt. Campbell, of Ards, had right and left shots at two stags, killing one and . wounding the other. Lochbuy also shot as largo a stag as has been killed in Mull for many years. It had a very fine head, and weighed 24 stones imperial. This is the first he has fired at since his return from the East, and we trust it is an omen of his taking a place among the deer stalkers of his native land. Others of the party had fair shots.—North British Hail. STEALING METAL COFFINS FROM CHURCH VAULTS. —For some days past a rumour has been current at Strat ford that a copper coffin had been stolen from a vault under St. John's Church, and on Thursday evening Mr. John Bromley, one of the churchwardens, accompanied by the clerk of the church, Mr. William Biggs, Mr. George Craddock, the 'sexton, Sergeant King, and one or two other officers belonging to the K division of the metropolitan police, visited the vault for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the report. A portion of the.brickwork - having been removed sufficiently large to admit a person to enter it was discovered that the copper coffin in which, with a shell and open coffin, were the remains of Mr. John Taylor, deposited in the year 1846, was missing ; and two men, named James List, aged 35, and William Saville, aged 32, natives of Stratford, who had been employed as gravediggers at St. John's, were apprehended the same evening by Sergeant King, on suspicion of being the parties implicated in the robbery. On the following morning they underwent an examination before Mr. Joseph Soames, when the further hearing of the ease was ad journed till Wednesday next. On Friday Mr. Biggs, the clerk, and Mr. William Gore, a plumber and glazier, of Stratford, made a further examination of th e vau lt i n which Mr. Taylor's remains were deposited, and those of his brother, Mr. Samuel Taylor, whose death t oo k place four years subsequently, in 18e0, and who was in closed in a leaden coffin. This, it was then discovered for the first time, had also been stolen. The copper coffin weighed nearly or quite 2 cwt., being as thick as an old penny-piece. It was made under the superintendence of Mr. Taylor, several years prior to his death, and deposited with Messrs. Martin and Son, of Stratford, his undertakers, as noticed in this paper at the time of his demise. The shells, as well as the two out-oaken coffins, were slightly damaged, but the brass inscription plate and the massive gilt handles were left untouched, The entrance to the vault was made by removing a portion of the brickwork, which was replaced and whitewashed over, with the view of preventing detection. The incumbent and churchwardens will no doubt order the other vaults under the church to be examined, more especially as they would be warranted in doing so from information obtained since the apprehen sion of the parties supposed to be implicated in one of the most daring cases of sacrilege which has occurred for some time past. One of the accused persons has admitted his complicity in the crime, but accused his coadjutors of having taken the lion's share of the spoil. The police of the district are now busily engaged in obtaining additional evidence ; at present it has not transpired when the coffins were stolen, although a rumour is current that the copper one was sold to some marine-store dealer in the neighbour hood, whose name, for obvious reasons, for the present we withb.old.—Essex-iieraki, Mr BUCHANAN, after alluding to various matters of local interest, said—Gentlemen, I voted for Mr. Gibson'semendment, and because I regret having done so I come forward to you, my constituents, and express my feelings on this subject, Well, the Government of Lord Palmerston was defeated, and the administration of Lord Derby came into their places. I could not do justice to my convictions, did I not most freely admit that many of the gen tlemen who occupy the treasury benches do honour to their places. There arc many men among them of experience—men of polished manners and high !character ; but having said so much, I am done. (A laugh.) Their position is one which I cannot look.upon as consistent with their dignity, and is not one I would - willingly occupy. Not only were they in a false position, but they are, night after night, called upon to forget their former profesSions and all their former opinions ; 'but what is worse, they are placed iu a : position where they carry out no definite policy, and adhere to no definite course of action. Whenever a subject comes to be dis cuseed,-what is the course of those on the Treasury benches ? They wait till they see what support they are likely to obtain from the gentlemen below gangway on the opposte side, but do nothing at all till they see the amount of support they may depend on. ls that a position for honourable men to occupy ? Is that the way to govern this great country—on 'the 'principle that 20 or 30 men on certain benches. were • found ready to give support on certain conditions (Cheers.) I look upon this state of affairs as of a most disastrous hind,.preg nant with the greatest evils. So long as I have the honour of a. seat in Parliament - as your repre sentative, I,shall endeavour, with any litle abilities I may have; to 'assist in: raising up again a strong and :powerful Liberal party, whether LordPalmey ston or Lord * Jeliltraussell inte_oo9o4—al4W- members of that party: (Cheer s.l As I do - not know, and perhaps as yet , -I do not care much about thematter.' This I - do know, they will never want worthy successors to carry out great principles in this country. (A Voice.: " Seller of Poland.") One of the great evils of the present course of affairs is that it is impoSsible to :tell what is impending. October is coming on. We will have Cabinet councils, many. discussions and hints threwn • out to test public opinion. What hums.* being can predict what kind of "Reform Bill We will get from.Lerd.Derby ? - Will it be an at tempt to add more to the influence . of the Tories by adding to the county- constituencies ? or, will it be the bolder game, announced by many of hat :party, as their intention to give universal suffrage, trust ing to their playing a Tory game ? I Mistake the opinion of the great majority of the masses of this country if they have any taste for a. retrogressive policy. They love equal rights and laws greatly ; but I much mistake indeed if Parliament was elected by universal suffrage, if it would extend aristocratic rights. I think, if they proceed to this, our friends - the Tories will :find out the . mis take for themselves. I pass on to make a few remarks-upon other matters. I was glad to give my .support to Mr. Locke King's bill for in troducing a £lO county franchise to_ England. That was thrown' out in the Lords, but• will be again introduced. A bill was - introduced -by a Scotchman, Mr. Caird, the member for Dartmouth, to extend the 40s. freehold franchise to Scotland. Now, gentlemen,' did not appreve of th e p r i nc ipl e of that bill, but I voted for its -being read a first time. I - think the franchise so low as 405.,. without residence, Would not be good - ; but that it would be better to-have a £lO or even .£5 county franchise, with residence. , I think Mr. Caird was.searcely fairly used by the Scotch lawyers, who argued as if freeholds could not by any possibility exist in Scot land. Such' was the argument of the present Lord. Justice-Clerk and the late Lord Advocate, Mr. Mon creiff. No doubt, in the present state of Scotch law, difficulties of such a kind exigia,s - -gives a colouring to their argument; but when we have £lO free holds- or feuholds, we could have them at £2, and therefore I could not see the force of the arguments of the learned lords. I have, therefore, to explain that if Mr. Caird's bill had come to a vote - upon the merits, before I could have given it-my support it must have been modified.- He then glanced at the bill brought in under Lord Derby's Government, called the - Transfer of Land Bill. The' measure was a very important one, and he trusted it would prove of much benefit. The question of expenses was not brought forward in the discussion upon its merits. The lawyers generally took care of that question. Regarding the Confirmation of Electors' Bill, he saw no reason why such a measure had been delayed se long, as there . -4eemed to be a de sire for such a 'measure very generally in the country. He then referred to the bill brought in by Sir E. Colebrooke anent the registration of county voters, but which had been thrown out. He ridiculed the manner in which Lord Derby's Government had treated the measure, delaying to oppose it until they had information from their country factors regarding the likely effects it would have upon their interests. They allowed the bill to pass a second reading, while their information was maturing, and they opposed it in the third reading. As the hon. baronet was not easily cast down, he was in hopes that it would be again brought forward next year, as such a measure would prove of much benefit. (Cheers.) He had always been favourable to a reform =1 cur imiversi ties, and it had given him great pleasure, therefore, that the Lord Advocate had succeeded in passing a measure for that purpose. While the Legislature had been devising means for the education of the rich, he regretted to say that nothing had been done for the education of the poor. (Hear, hear.) It was highly desirable that there should be a bill brought in for this purpose. The Privy Council's grants for education amounted to £7,000 or £B,OOO a-year—grants to which he objected. They were for the most part sectarian in their character. They were made to the Free Church, the Established Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. It was his desire to see them done away with, because he wished to see education imparted in such a way as to make men not better Free Churchmen, but better citizens. (Loud cheers.) He regretted to say that nothing had been done in this direction, but hoped that some measure would soon be brought forward. It was one of many difficulties, but the more reason therefore should it be taken up with spirit. Mr. DALGLISH was received with all the enthu siasm awarded to his colleague. He said—My- ex cellent colleague has gone so very fully into all the important questions of last session, that it will not be necessary on my part to detain you long. I have, however, a few remarks, and after I am done, I have no doubt that it will be agreeable to myself and colleague to hear the opinions of our consti tuency on any prominent question likely to come before Parliament during next session. (Cheers.) When Parliament met in February last, on the papers of the house were several motions, entered by the officer whose duty it is to do so, and who is responsible therefor. But after the attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French, the meetings of the French colonels, and their addresses to the Em peror, as they appeared in the Moniteur newspaper, changed the state of matters. Following them, there was brought into the House of Commons, by the - former Ministry, a bill for the amendment of an important law of the country. Had this amend ment been proposed by others than those who did it, I dare say it would quietly have passed unob served. It was the way in which it was brought forward that damaged . it • for when it was first brought forward only a small minority of Liberals, headed by Lord J. Russell, voted against it. We were told that if that bill were not passed, we should have immediate war with France. I had no such fear, but if I had had, it should not have deterred me from voting against it. (Loud cheers.) Because I believe that if we had passed that bill under threats from one party or another, there would have been larger measures required under other threats. (Hear, hear.) I believe that with the passing of that bill the liberties of England would have fallen to a great extent. (Thundering plause.) I do not regret so much as my excellent colleague that the Conservatives, even against their principles, should have supported the am en d men t of Mr. Milner Gibson. (Hear, hear.) I believe that the Ministry of Lord Palmerston had become so much convinced of their popularity with the country, that they thought they could treat the Liberal party as they liked. (Cheers.) I was glad indeed to see a change of Ministry—(clieers)— and I confess that the Liberals have had a good deal more of their own way under the present Ad ministration than ever they had under that of Lord Palmerston. (Cheers and laughter.) One of the' first acts of the present Ministry was to take a grdat deal of credit in a matter in which they had little hand—(laughter)—they sent Mr. Barber to Naples to superintend the notorious Cagliari affair, and though no doubt he had brought the matter very nearly to a close, I do not see that he had all the merit in 'doing so, • Neither do I say he had no merit. Far from that; But I believe that the public " I must inform you, my honoured, sir, that the mandarins and lawgivers among these: barbarians pretend (in order to replenish their empty treasury, and at the same time to please the vulgar sort, whose goodwill they are desirous to secure,) that there is great danger to the public morals and wel fare because of so many Celestials coming to dwell in their country—that we shall corrupt them, for sooth ! and degrade their race! and a great outcry has been raised against us. This is pleasing to the ignorant and brutal among them, who call us all manner of hard names and ill.treat us—and when I reply to them in the words of their own sacred book, Do as you would be die unto,' they only mock and abuse me the more ; and. if I venture to mention another of their aphorigms, that With what measure men mete unto others it shall be measured to them again,' they reply with blows. The mandarins and wise men, in order to please these people, have decreed that all my country men, when they arrive here, must pay the great amount of 40 ounces of silver. This is the price at which these people value their moral welfare and the purity of their race ! We are to be at liberty to corrupt and degr a d e them to any extent if we will only pay them the 40 ounces of silver. One of their mandarins stated, in their hall of assembly, that he objected to our coming here because we smuggled opium in our bamboo sticks. If this worthy mandarin had called to mind that passage from their sacred book which says, First take the beam from thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to pull out the mote which is in thy brother's eye,' the blush of shame must have overspread his countenance when he uttered it, seeing that his own countrymen have been engaged for many years in smuggling opium into our country, not in bamboo sticks, but in ship loads. Another of these wise mandarins said that he objected to our coming because one of the Celes tials whom he employed, although an excellent servant, had turned Christian, and it seems he con tinues a Food servant still, in spite of having changed his religion, evidently much to the worthy mandarin's surprise, who apparently wishes to pre vent the chance of such a change, by making them pay heavily for it. Another of these lawmakers said that, if we were allowed to conic here, this country would soon become a province of the Celes tial Empire, but it seems he is quite willing we should come if we paid for it. Verily, these people would allow us to defile their fathers' tombs if we paid them for it. Surely, if we are FO bad as they say, they ought to exclude us altogether. I be lieve, notwithstanding all the precepts of their holy books, their professions are all a sham, and the principal object of their adoration is a low and grovelling, but powerful demon, called Mammon,' whose slaves they are. " To show, also, the arrogance of these barba rians, I wish to inform you that they are only strangers in this land themselves—many of them havetonly been here a few moons, and none for more than one or two generations ; and they are only a very small number—not more than the people of a single city in the Central Flowery Land; that their evil example . and conduat, and the fire waters which they make, have - already almost do- To carry trade into Central Asia has for a long period been desired by our Indian authorities. It was contemplated by Warren Hastings, who, in 1783, sent Mr. Turner to Tibet to accomplish that object, and that gentleman reported that in the al luvial district gold was abundant, and readily to be obtained; and even in 1775, Mr. Bogle, employed by the company on a similar mission, consid ere d th a t British woollen manufactures would find a ready market among the Tibetans. On a former occasion we had occasion to remark that Mr. Hooker, who made a botanical excursion to India in 1848, pointed out the great capabilities for cultivating teaafforded by the Himalaya range, and this is fully confirmed by the observations of the Messrs. Sehlagintweit, who state that plantations at an elevation of even 5,000 feet have proved remunerating though the best localities are considerably lower. However, they are of opinion that tea might be grown with advantage along the whole range, and in unlimited quantity, and . consider it a most important article of trade to be introduced into Tibet, where it is largely consumed, though the quality is coarse ; moreover, as it comes from China, the cost of carriage, owing to the distance, must be great. It is more used by the hill tribes than by the people inhabiting the plains. Dr. Jameson thinks that we could produce it at 6d. per pound, and of a better description. Another article of trade, which would readily find a market, is coarse woollen cloth, now, to a certain extent, supplied by Russia, but, if good roads were made, the travellers corroborate the view taken by Mr. Moorcroft,• who states " it is at our option whether Central Asia shall be supplied with goods from Russia or from E ng l an d." W e cou ld o bt a i n in exchange from Central Asia raw and manufac tured silks, shawls and velvets, hemp, sugar-candy, and ponies, borax (much used in India for technical purposes), and a stone called " jade stone," exclu sively used for ornamental work. In its chemical composition it is "a silicate of magnesia and alu mina, containing small quantities of iron and chrom colouring matter ; its mineralogical name is nephrite ; it a little resembles some kinds of agate, and cuts or scratches glass very deeply after it is hardened." Copper and zinc ores are found in the eastern parts of the Himalaya, and greatly used by idols. That natives in making their basins and That commerce offers bright prospects in these regions is certain ; but there appear to be many obstacles to free exchange. Some tribes arc so savage that all intercourse with them is impossible. Europeans could not gain access into Bhutan, the government of which is under Buddhists, the rajahs being both secular and ecclesiastical princes. The rulers at Sikkim are not friendly to the Indian Go vernment ; but it would be well to adjust any differ ences that may exist, as it affords the shortest mountain passage across the Himalayas into Tibet, and is on the direct route from Calcutta to Lassa, the capital of Eastern Tibet. In this district smuggling is active, proving a demand for trade. Salt is thus illegally taken from Tibet into Sikkim, and tobacco from Sikkim into Tibet. The great obstruction to trade with Tibet arises from the Chinese authorities, and not from the Tibetians. "When Major Cunningham and Captain Strachey were in Tibet, charged with the regulation of the frontier, the efforts that were made to get official relations with the Chinese were absolutely in the Recent negotiati ons , however, may assist the re moval of these impediments, for though access is Tibet may not be a specific clause in the late treaty yet a very' decisive blow has been struck against the mandarin system of exclusiveness, and . the whole must fall before proper and repeated efforts. The Chinese themselves, when once the novelty of European intercourse has passed away, will soon be reconciled to the outer barbarians by the love of gain, and they will learn to respect the strangers they have despised or hated. Though, as already re marked, the Rajah of Sikkim is not friendly to us, the people are, and are hostile to the Chinese rulers, and of this fact a skilful diplomatist might take advantage. The truth is that, with the excep tion of savages, all rude tribes arc eager to barter, ' and are only rousedio anger 2r distrust when they detect injustice and over-reachii„g. We have, how. 4
