Shortly after 4 o'clock the company was drawn up in line, under the com man d of Captain Morris, when the Rev. Mr. Selwyn, of Blackheath, having offered an appropriate prayer, Mrs. Angerstein stepped forward and addressed the company as fol lows :—Captain Morris, officers, and men of the Kidbrooke Company of Volunteer Rifles, I have been requested by the ladies of the immediate neighbourhood to be their re presentative upon this occasion, and I beg to offer you their best wishes, together with my own, for the success and perma nence of that noble Volunteer Movement which you were'among the first to join, and the duties of which you have carried on in the most praiseworthy and energetic manner. (Applause.) We earnestly pray that if ever you are called upon to defend your Queen, f your country, and your homes, Almighty God will crown your efforts with success. (Ap plause.) I now present you with this bugle and this cup, in the full assurance that you will each of you nobly fulfifyour duty in whatever circumstances you may be placed. (Renewed applause.) The bugleand cup were then handed to Captain Morris, upon which Mr. Angerstein briefly addressed the com pany, remarking that trom its commencement the Volunteer Movement had received his most earnest support, he believing that it was a movement of eve n more than national importance, (Loud ap plause.) Captain Morris, in a brief, but pointed ad dress, thanked Mrs. Angerstein and the ladies of Blackheath for the handsome presentation made that day, assurin g th em t h a t th e cup w hi c h h a d been given would be the means, by being placed for competition, of inducing the members to become thoroughly efficient in rifle shooting, and that if ever the bugle then held in his hand should sound the alarm of war the members of the Kidbrooke company would remember by whom it was pre sented, and would go forth to do their duty to their Queen and country and in fulfilment of the oath which they had all taken. (Applause.) At five o'clock between 500 and 600 persons were sumptuously entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Anger stein, a large and handsome marquee having been erected for the occasion. The proceedings termi nated with a display of fireworks. The first meeting of the Hertfordshire Rifle Vo lunteers took place on Friday at Ashridge-park, the seat of Earl Brownlow, to compete for the follow ing prizes given by his Lordship and Lady Marian Alford, and another prize given by Lieut.-Colonel R. A. Smith Dorrien :—The first prize, a silver tankard given by Earl Brownlow for aggregate score at 200, 400, and 600 yards, was awarded, after a well contested match, to Mr. C.

As some misunderstanding has arisen at Wool wich with reference to the duties required of the Deputy Inspector-General of the Royal Artillery Infirmary, and his position on the Staff, Major- General Richard Nacres, K.C.8., commandin g at Woolwich, has isFsued a garrison order , desiring it to be clearly understood that the position of the Deputy Inspector-General is precisely the same as that laid down at p a ge 42 in th e code of "M e di ca l Regulations'' for principal medical officers in a gene ral hospital. On Friday, Col. the Hon. A. Gordon visited the camp at Colchester for the purpose of making the necessary ar rangements before t a ki ng th e comman d of the garrison in succession to Major-General Wood. Col. Gordon is expec t e d to enter on hi s new duties on the let of Nov em b er .

Accommodation is to be provided in con nexiou with the batteries for 100 men. THE VOLUNIEER MOVEMENT, The 21st Middlesex (Civil Service Regiment), Hon. Col. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, Lieut.-Col. Viscount Bury, will proceed on Tuesday, Wednes day, and Thursday to Wimbledon for target prac tice, On Wednesday the Admiralty company will fire for the company's prizes, and the prizes for the Post-office companies will be shot for on Thursday, Nov. 15. Yesterday morning the members of the Ist Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers mustered to the number of 130 at their drill ground, Hawthorn-street, Kingsland, and marched, accompanied by their brass band, drams and fifes, under the command of Major Sharwood, their commandant, to West Hackney Church for Divine service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Chaffer, M.A., in aid of the National Society for Educating the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church. The • rev. gentleman selected for his text the 72d Psalm, 13th verse—" He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy." The ser mon, however, bore no reference to the rifle volun teer movement, but simply advocated the claims of the society to public support. At its conclusion a collection was made. The Ist Tower Hamlets now number about 500 members, of whom between 200 and 300 are effectives, and considering the short time they have been organised, they are a highly efficient body of men. The greatest muster hitherto of the Workman's Volunteer Brigade, now numbering 1,100 men, took place on Saturday evening in the Guildhall, on which occasion the Colonel Commandant, Sir Wm. De Bathe, made the following remarks :—" Volun teers, I had hoped to be able to inform you that your services had been accepted. I cannot as yet communicate that gratifying intelligence. It is right, however, to acquaint you that the delay, which we all greatly deplore, does not arise from any want of exertion ou the part of your officers, for we have laid before the public authorities your numbers, you efficiency, your zeal, and your loyalty, respectfully soliciting for them an answer, one - way or other, whether or not they would accept of the services of the Workman's Volunteer Brigade, considering it not advisable and most impolitic to suffer so loyal a body to continue any longer de vot2ng both their time and money to an uncertainty. In the meantime you must rest satisfied with the thanks of your officers for your exemplary conduct. I hope next Saturday to be able to tell you that your services are accepted. Under the circumstances I invite you to give three cheers for Queen Victoria.." Loud and protracted cheers followed, after which the battalion, headed by a party of Volunteers in uniform, and its two bands of nearly 80 performers (brass and fifes and drums), marched through the city, round to Tower-hill, attracting great applause and observation. The first annual prize shooting of the 7th West York (Leech+) Volunteer Rifles commenced on Wed nesday, was continued each day up to and includ ing Saturday, and will be resumed to-day (Mon place on the corps' prac day). The shooting took tine ground at Farn ley, near Leeds. Only long or short Enfield rifles were allowed to be used, and no hair triggers or magnifying sights were per mitted. The shooting was from the shoulder, a n d the hits counted as at Hythe, the regulations in other respects being the same as are observed at the School of Musketry there. The shooting on the first three days was occupied in the competition for four prize Enfield rifles complete, with case and instruments, one rifle being given to the beat shot in each of the first four companies of the corps. The shooting was at three ranges-150, 200, and 300 yards, five rounds being fired by each man at each distance. There were altogether upwards of 100 riflemen engaged in the contest. The highest score (25) was made by Private B. H. Labron, of the first company. Iu the second company the prize was gained by Private E. C. Senior, who scored 23 ; in the third company by Sergeant Holt, who scored 22 ; and in the fourth by Private J. A. Whalley, who scored 20. With the consent of the commandi ng officer of the corps, Mr. Labron, as the b est shot muskets in the battalion, will wear a badge (cross and cro wn , wor k e d i n go ld), an d eac h o f the oth er gentlemen named, as the best shot in his crown b e en g onapny, will wear a similar badge, the seated b ornjtted. These badges have b e e n pre y mr . J T.

After the All Corners' Prize , the 80. rough Alember s'Prize was competed for, five round s at 300 yards bei n g shot. It was won by Pri vate S. T. Beer, of the 2d company of the Leeds Rifle Corps, who made 10 poin ts. .Th __ere were a l arge nunumber of competitors for it .These are aft th e p r i zes which have yet been shot, but several still remain for competition. The weather, on the whole, has been unfavourable, and on the first day a drizzling rain fell, which rendered it very difficult to take correct aim. Considering these circumstances the general scoring is regarded as satisfactory. There wi ll be a formal presentation of the prizes to the suc cessful competitors in the Victoria-hall, Leeds, on some day not yet named, and Earl De Grey and Ripon has been asked to preside on the occasion. Saturday afternoon the grounds of Mr. W Angentein M.P., for Greenwich, at The Wood lands, Blackh eat h, .' were visited by a large number of the 'm a id ants of the neighbourhood, for the pur pose of witnes s i ng 04, , in, on behalf of h e presentation by Mrs. Anger bileor bugle end the ladies of Bl ac kh ea th, o f a to the members of the '7th First prize, Mr. Jones.. Second prize, Mr. A. Rumball ' l2 points Third prize, Mr. Iles At the close of the contest Lady Marian Alford dis tributed the prizes to the successful competitors, in the presence of a large number of the nobility who are staying at Ashridge. After which the whole of the corps were invited to partake of a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mr. Strange, of the Crystal Palace, under a tent near the mansion, where the whole was brought to a most successful issue under the presidency of Earl Brownlow, who was well supported by the nobility of the county. An encampment formed on Saturday on Nazing common, Essex, by the Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, and Volunteers from tie Hon. Artillery Company, the Victoria, Middlesex, and Herts Rifles, &c. The encampment was regularly protected by sentries, guards, videttes, and outposts, and cooking was car ried. on. Advantage was also taken of the occasion to give the troops assembled a " field day." About two p.m. a parade line was formed, with the bands on the right of the regiments ; and the troops, having been inspected, marched on with their bands playing. The other arrangements of the day were as follows :—An enemy's army was shown, sup posed to be marching from the direction of Epping, and the right wing of which was presumed to be annihilated by the artillery and cavalry. The infantry advanced in columns and formed two lines, supported by artillery as d cavalry, to attack the centre of the hostile force, which with the left wing was driven back and defeated, as the " enemy" always is on these occasions. A new line was then formed, the whole force advanced in parade order and saluted, and the troops, having refreshed themselves, marched off the ground. A silver bugle has just been presented by Mrs. Fellowes and the ladies of Huntingdonshire to the Ist Rifle Corps of that county, which has now 130 members enrolled, under the command of Colonel Duncombe. It was originally intended that the presentation should take place in the park of the Earl of Sandwich, at Hinchinbrook ; but the state of the. weather rendered it necessary that the proeeedings should come off in the Court-house at Huntingdon. The presentation was conducted satisfactorily, and Colonel Duncombe having ex pressed his thanks to Mrs. Fellowes and the fair donors of the bugle, the Volunteers were inspected on the Market-hill by the Duke of Manchester, who commands the mounted corps formed in the county. In the evening a large party of the Volun- teers and their friends dined together in the Town hall, Mr, E. Fellowes, M.P., presiding. The services of the Artillery company just formed at Walton, Suffolk, have been officially accepted. Mr. Snow has been cho ,en first lieu tenant. The Government inspector has allotted one of the martello towers at Walton for practice. Another item of interest in connection with the movement in Suffolk is the presentation by Colonel Shafto Adair of the handsome donation of .ElOO to the funds of the Bungay company. An effort is being made to raise a third com pany of Rifle Volunteers at Wakefield. The corn pany is to be composed of working men, and to be equipped mainly at the expense of Lieutenant Barker of Thornes, and Mr. S. R. Green, of Wake field. AT SEA IN THE STORM. --+---- The 3d of October will be long remembered as one of those days which leave their impress in anxious and sorrowful memories, Already we have heard of shipwrecks ; brave seamen perishing in their efforts to reach the shore ; and could the effects of that terrible storm be fully known, it would reveal many an instance of suffering, endu rance, and heroic toil. One such came under our notice, and cannot fail to awaken the interest and sympathy of the reader. On the morning of the 3d the William Simpson, of Peterhead, a boat of little more than 15 tons, left the Tay for her na tive port with a heavy cargo of mussels. She was manned by William and Alexander Alexander, with two of their sons, boys about 14 years of age. Suddenly the wind rose, and, finding it impossible to breast the storm, they ran to sea, and con tinued thus till, it is calcu:ated, they were at least a hundred miles from the land. Being un able to carry canvas, or even take down the mast, they were entirely at the mercy of the waves, and could only struggle to keep their vessel from sinking. The perilous condition of the poor fishermen with their little boys it would be impos sible to conceive. Here, in a small boat, their pro visions destroyed, without fire, wet and weary, in the midst of the raging elements, their only pros pect was a watery grave. A large quantity of the precious cargo was thrown overboard; twice was the boat filled with water, and the waves continued to break over her. The two boys soon became ex hausted, and were placed unifier the only shelter an open boat can afford, saddening as it is, that their poor parents might not see them die. They refused to remain, and the last edible remnant, a raw cab bage, was divided between them. Hard and heart breaking were the struggles of the two fishermen, and yet they toiled on as those inured to difficulties and storms only can. For five days did William Alexand er rema i n at t h e helm, except twice, when he was dashed by a wave into the bottom of the boat, while hi s b rot h er attended to the pump and other matters. S e ld om have we heard of such trying exposure, such protracted privation and suffering. At last the calm came, and with what strength y a re mained, sti mu l ate d b .hope that, even yet, through a kind providence,ut Sunday they be saved, they made for the land. o neal rfi they arrived at Stoneham, having been during whi c h t h ey had ate little, nearlyslept five d n a s y on s T c a l : ha s e n a . d , been subj ec t e d to the severest hardshi deplorable, their deliverancep a he condition w as mar vel ; and the news o f t h e i r safety was received by anxious friends with equal delight and astonish ment. The boat arrived hero on Monday. Such is one of the incidents of Wednesday week. The William Simpson had a perilous voyage, and her brave little crew a narrow escape ; but how many on that memorable day perished amid the scenes of l— their struggles andoutforin ga Peterhead Yentinel. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1860. (Cheers.) This volunteer movement, if it has no other effect, will strengthen in the minds of all Englishmen a love for England. (Cheers.) And is not England a country worth loving ? England is not a mere geographical expression ; England is not merely a region representing so many square miles of area, lying in a particular longitude and latitude; England is something more—England is all that the genius, the wisdom, the courage of 30 generations of Englishmen have made her. (Cheers.) In virtue of that genius, that wisdom, that cou- IJR. CULLEN. rage, England holds the first place amongst the the nations. She is first in arts and arms. Na- ture made England comparatively poor in soil and climate. The industry of her sons has made England the wealthiest country in the world. (Cheers.) Look at her unrivalled agricultural skill—look at the marvellous ingenuity dis played in applying the aids of science to productive industry —look at her surpassing manufacturing enterprise ; and, in the domain of intellect, look at the long list of masters of abstract thought to whom England has given birth—look at the illustrious men of science, the Newtons of a former age, the Herschells of the present time. (Loud cheers.) Look at her geolorists, and her chemists, who have shed a light on the secrets of nature—look at her engineers, those magicians who have altered the face of the world. England, moreover, is the birth place of poetry, for England is the birth-place of Shakspeare, and until the world knew Shakspeare it knew nothing of poetry in its highest forms. And is not, then, this wondrous England, this great nursing mother of literature, and science, and all the useful arts—is she not worth loving and does not love for England ennoble the humblest Englishman who is animated by it ? (Cheers.) Taken in a certain sense, high sentiment is even more enno bling than profound thought, for profound thought may be allied to selfishness. Sentiment is high in proportion as it is unselfish. Not every man, be sides, is qualified to become a profound thinker, but every man may become great in virtue of his sym pathy with greatness. Love of country is the noblest of human sentiments. To love one's coun try is to love one's countrymen. England, I repeat s is worth loving, because England is great, and her greatness represents all the great Englishmen of bygone times. (Cheers.) The most profound thinkers, the most brilliant speakers, they have not laboured in vain. They have made England what she is, and they sleep with the primeval giants. We are called on merely to protect and defend the results of the labours of our forefathers, and shall we shrink from undertaking that task, while the works of mighty men are scattered around us on every side, and we have their graves before us wherever we turn? (Cheers.) Kent holds the bones of tens of thousands of mien who have served England and died for her—of men who resisted the landing of Ciesar on our shores, of men who fought at Hastings in defence of English liberty, of men who have helped to win all the victories of England, from Cressy and Agincourt to Trafalgar and Waterloo, and from Trafalgar and Waterloo to Delhi and Lucknow. (Loud cheers.) The men of Kent do not profess to be better men than other English men, but they cannot forget that Sir Philip Sidney, the model of English soldiers and English gentle men, was a Kentish man. (Cheers.) The men of Kent cannot forget that their forefathers formed the van of the armies of England, and we cannot close our eyes to the fact that in the event of an in vasion the men of Kent and Sussex would have to bear the brunt of a hostile attack. (Hear, hear.) The men of Kent know that a successful invasion would involve bloodshed on a scale unprecedented in extent—they know it would involve something even more fearful than bloodshed. (Hear, hear.) Without professing to be better than others, our fellow-Englishmen, I think I do not speak boast ingly when I say that every member of the 37th Kent Volunteers will, in the event of an actual in vasion, be proud to be enrolled amongst those who, in laying down their lives for fatherland,would feel they had discharged but a small portion of the debt which every Englishman owes to England. (Lentil cheers.) The Rev. H. HA.RuisoN proposed the health of " the Visitors," coupled with the name of Sir John Herschel. Only a few disjointed sentences of the rev. gentleman's speech could be heard where the reporters sat, though it seemed to create consider able merriment amongst those near the speaker. The toast was very cordially drunk. Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, in responding on behalf of " the Visitors," said—After the many excellent speeches we have heard this evening, after the ad dress to which we have just been listening from our excellent Chairman, combining the eloquence of a Burke with the patriotism of a Sidney— (cheers) —I feel that any remarks I may offer on this occasion will appear tame by comparison. (" No, no.") In witnessing the splendid spectacle of this day, I have felt in common with every Englishman pre sent, sensations at once the most elevating,, the most gratifying, the most ennobling which it is possible for the human bosom to experience. (Cheers.) If I had been able 1 would infinitely rather have been an actor in the scene than a mere spectator. I wish, indeed, I could join your ranks —(cheers)—but though I cannot do that, I may still glance around and see some of the bearings of this great national movement. (Cheers.) As a con trast to the animated scene which we have wit nessed this day, I may recall that sort of fools' Elysium in which, some eight or ten years ago, so many indulged—that time when the "men of peace" preached the doctrine of non-resistance, and told us that all the bad elements of human nature were extinguished, and that henceforth all nations would live in peace and amity with each other. And for awhile we listened to the voice of the charmer. But we have now awoke from this dream of everlasting peace and commercial prosperity— have arisen to the presence of a stern reality which has effectually dispelled all these imaginary ideas from the national mind. England has her position to maintain as one of the great Powers of Europe, and to maintain that position she must not exist on the sufferance of any other nation, or be deficient in the means of strength when the hour of action arrives. (Cheers.) At the same time we must be careful not to rush into the other extreme. We have heard much of "oppressed nationalities," but though we may sympathise with their efforts to ob tain such a freedom as ourselves enjoy, we must not meddle with their affairs. Yet England has its aspirations. What are they ? Shall I say ter ritorial aggrandisement ? Gold forbid ! At the commencement of the Sicilian insurrection, it was said that England had fostered the revolt with a view to the annexation of Sicily to the English Crown. England's days of annexation, I believe, are past. (Hear, hear.) The English people would not wish, I am sure, for the annexation of even an island of Corsica or of Sardinia, even if it cost the cheapest falsehood that ever glided glibly through political lips. (Cheers.) England has had enough of annexations—too much, perhaps. (Hear, hear.) Besides the difficulty of checking the spirit of cupidity which is thus aroused, we know that the expense of consolidating our rule, and governing those who are under our sway in a just and liberal manner, often renders these acquisitions very costly. (Hear.) The extent of the mighty empire which owns the sway of Queen Victoria is indeed astonishing. Upon it the sun never sets, and I believe that not two centuries will elapse before the English tongue will become the current language over a great portion of the globe. (Cheers.) To preserve the freedom and greatness which she has attained England requires to show the military capacity of her people. I do not say that she re quires military glory or prowess, for in the past pages of England's history there is enough of glory and prowess to last her for a century to come. (Cheers.) What England needs is that her sons should be able to exhibit military prowess when required in defence of their own native land—the capacity to resist any attempt to crush that free dom 'which has so long been our privilege and our birthright, or to destroy that self-government which is the pride and glory of England. (Cheers.) So guarded, so prepared, England may pursue the path of moral, social, and scientific progress without doubt or fear. (Hear.) I am one of those who believe in the great importance and utility of the volunteer movement, if it be persevered in. 1 con sider that it will be productive of the most beneficial results, not only politically, but socially. Men of all ranks and classes of society will be brought together in the ranks of the rifle corps, not attracted by the prospect of gain, forced by no conscription, induenced by no selfish motives, but coming of their own free will, all animated by the common determination to preserve inviolate the rights and liberties they possess. (Cheers.) What matters it whether this one be a mechanic and that a nobleman—when upon the drill or practice ground all are equals; they wear the same dress, they stand shoulder to shoulder, and are they not all pledged to die if need were in their country's cause? (Cheers.) What is more likely to make a man feel kindly towards his fellow-man than this close com panionship ? And I may be excused if I add, as one of the subordinate advantages to be derived from this movement, that it will be a very good thing for some of our young men to learn those prin ciples of obedience which it is most important should be paid to the commands of their superior officers— to realise at times the meaning of must. (A . laugh.) Another thing which occurs to me is that it would be very desirable if those young gentlemen who, possessing the necessary leisure, have joined the volunteer movement, were to study military tactics on a comprehensive scale. Heaven grant the time may never come when the volunteers will b e called upon to meet a foe in thisecountry, but if this should be the case, k now l e d g e of the kind to which I have refuted would be especially valuable. (Rear, hear,)' The venerable baronet concluded by again return ing thanks for the visitors, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause. • Cheers were given for Major and Mrs. Bell, and Viscount Sydney, and the party separated. It was some hours afterwards before the streets of Cran brook recovered their normal quietude. TBE BRIGADE REQUIEM SPEECit DUBLIN, SATURDAY. The ultramontane journals of this morning are positively doleful to look upon, the many columns which arc devoted to an account of the doings at the " Metropolitan Church" in Marlborough-street, yes terday, being in deep mourning, The doings re ferred to were the requiem ceremonials recently ordered by Dr. Cullen in honour of those members of the " Pope's own Irish" who fell in the late luck less campaign under Gen. Lamoriciere. The Free slain from the beginning of the! world, pleading their cause, and imploring for them peace and eternal rest. Yes, peace and eternal rest to our country men—peace and rest 'to their noble and generous companions, and to their illustrious leader, Pimodan, who died with them on the field of honour. Their career was short, but it was glorious—they sacrificed their worldly prospects and the enjoyments and hopes of this world for the protection of religion and the well-being of mankind. Swifter than eagles, stronger than lions,' may we not cry out with David, How have they fallen, the strong ones of Israel !' (Kings 2, i.) History will relate their exploits. They were overpowered by the number of their ene mies, but with their eyes and hearts raised to 11.eaven, they offered themselves as victims for the cause in which they were engaged ; they fought like valiant warriors, and died covered with glory. Blessed are they who die in the Lord, for their man's Journal, which has all along been more mode rate, and consequently more rational in its advocacy of Pius's " right divine to govern wrong" than any other of the Roman Catholic organs, is the only one of them which omits to put on " the trappings and the suits of woe." It is, however, not less eloquent in its descriptions or ample in its details, while it possesses the additional merit of greater verbal con ciseness. On this account we select its narrative in preference to any other. Here it is : " THE REQUIEM FOR THE BRAVE. " A grand requiem ceremonial, the most magnifi cent of its kind witnessed in Dublin since the obse quies of the Liberator in 1847, was celebrated yes terday in the Cathedral Church,Marlborough •street, for the brave Irish who have fallen in the recent battles in Italy, while fighting in vindication of the rights of the Pope, and in support of his dignity and authority. The preparations for this ceremo nial, some account of which we have already given in a preliminary notice, was made on a scale of un usual extent and solemn splendour. The interior of the cathedral was darkened by the interposition of gauze curtains and draperies over the side windows of the naive and aisles. The high altar was appro priately stripped of all festal decorations, the pure white of its marble front and pedestals being sim ply and tastefully relieved by an antependium of rioh black silk, bearing a white cress. The altar candlesticks were wreathed with mourning em blems, and bore tapers of yellow wax. The adorn ment of the sanctuary, &c., was rich, but at the same time of sombre and solemn character. The throne for the Archbishop at the Gospel side was covered with material of purple colour. The large compartment of the church outside the sanctuary constituting the choir was fitted with rows of seats five deep at either side for the accommodation of the immense body of the secular and regular clergy who attended, not alone from Dublin and its vicinity but also from various distant localities. Behind the seats for the clergy were placed forms for the stu dents of the Colleges of All Hallows, Castleknock, and Holycross, and also for the students of the Catholic University—special seats having been set apart for the representatives of the Colleges. Within the sanctuary were placed the sedilia of the bishops, dignitaries, members of the diocesan chapters, &c. The canons of the chapel wore their robes of purple and ermine. The prelates present occupied sedilia near the archiepiscopal throne. This was the ar rangement of the choir, in the centre of - which was raised the catafalque, which was covered with rich mouldings. Upon this platform was raised another of smaller dimensions, also richly corniced and adorned at the upper sides with spear-shaped mouldings. Above all rose the sarcophagus, classi cally shaped, and covered with a fine cloth of dead black, relieved by shields and escutcheons of gilt bronze. Each projecting ledge of the structure bore splendid bronze candlesticks alternately with urn shaped taper holders of black marble. Around the sarcophagus and its supports were placed inscrip tions in the Latin language. The emblematic de signs in gilt bronze comprised the serpent, with body curved, to represent eternity, and the inverted torch to signify the extinction of life. These de signs, also the emblematic lachrymatories, were beautiful in design and appearance. The mediate portion of the catafalque sustained the following inscriptions : " Tu venis ad mo cum gladio et hasty et clypeo. Ego autem venio ad to in nomine Dornini exercituutn. " Civitas parva et pauci in is viri. Venit contra earn Rex magnus et vallavit earn ; inventusquo est in eft vir pauper et sapiens et liberavit urbem per sapientiarn suarn. " Cum illo est Brachitm Carneum. Nobiscum Dominus Deus Noster. " Quid est verbum quod factum est ? multi o populo mortui Hunt. Bonum certamen certavi. " Montes Gilboa nec ros nec pluviaveniunt super vos, quia ibi objectus est clypeus fortium, clypeus Saul, quasi non esset unctus oleo. " ' Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos ? " Aquilis velociores ; looxibus fortiores. " Decori in vita sua ; in morte quoque non sunt divisi. " Auxilium Christianorum, ora pro nobis. " Usque ad mortem certa pro justitia, et Deus expugnabit pro to inimicos tuos. " ' Justitia olevat gentem ; miseros autcm facit populos peecatum.' These inscriptions, enclosed in mourning borders, were affixed bitween the ornaments on the sides and ends of the sarcophagus, and its supports. The corners and sides of the catafalque were decorated in addition with wreaths of laurel and cypress, in terwoven with immortelles blossom. At the lower end of the catafalque a pair of sabres were sus pended saltierwise, and on the lid of the sarco phagus were placed the military emblems of helmet, sword, &c. The tapers placed in the gorgeous can delabra surrounding the catafalque having•been lighted, and also the other candles and lamps in the church, produced a peculiarly solemn and imposing effect in the aspect of the sacred building. In front of the end gallery the following inscription was placed, surrounded by a mourning border : " Of your charity pray for the souls of our bravo coun trymen, and of their gallant companions in arms, and of the illustrious General Pimodan, who died defending the principles of eternal justice, the rights of our Holy Father, and the interests of religion. Eternal rest to their souls. May their memory be in benediction.' " A similar inscription was placed outside the church, over the great portal. The inscriptions sur rounding the catafalque and:sarcophagus were select ed from Holy Writ, principally from the books of Wisdom, the Epistles, &c. From so early an hour as 7 o'clock in the morning the high altar, as also the two side altars and the altar of the chapel of St Kevin, were occupied by a continuous succession of secular and regular priests, who came to offer up the holy sacrifice in accordance with the pious intention to which the solemnities of the day were devoted. Large crowds of the laity attended at each of these masses, and there .could be observed present not a few whose tearful eyes and mourning habits pro claimed their grief, and who were pointed out as the immediate relatives of some of the gallant fel lows whose lives have been offered freely in defence of the head of their church. The crowds which poured into all parts of the church accessible to the laity, as the time approached for the commence ment of the ceremonial, exceeded in numbtrs any assemblage that has been gathered together within the walls of the cathedral for many years ; in fact, the nave, aisles, galleries, &c., were thronged to their fullest capacity. The confraternities of the different parochial churches in the city, to the number of over 600, were in attendance, and assisted in the prayers for the departed." After the office for the dead and high mass had been celebrated, Dr. Cullen ascended the pulpit and addressed the congregation, a crowded one, in the following speech—for a sermon it cannot with any propriety be termed : " Assembled in this house of prayer, kneeling around the altar of the living God, we have offered the awful sacrifice of the mass, and sent up our humble supplications to the throne of the Most High for our brave countrymen and their compa nions in arms who lately purpled the fields of Italy with their blood, and died defending the eternal principles of justice and religion, the rights of the Holy See, and the cause of the common father of all the faithful. In acting as we have done we have walked in the footsteps of the saints, and fol lowed the traditions of the Church. We read in the Old Testament that when some of the devoted men of Judith, who had sustained the cause of God and their country against the ambition of the Syrian Kings, had fallen in battle, the first thought of their renowned leader Judas Maceabee was to have sacrifices and holocausts offered lin Jerusalem in the temple of God, for the souls of the fallen, knowing, as the sacred text says, that it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins.' The same consoling practice, founded on the communion of saints, has prevailed in the Church through every age, and in every clime, and in no place has it taken deeper root than in our country, where the memory of the dead is cherished with singular respect, and where the name of a departed friend is never mentioned without uttering for him a fervent prayer. Would we not then be acting in opposition to our doctrines and traditions were we o forget the men who bled at Spoleto, Perugia , L oreto, and Ancona ? Would we not incur the chargeof ingratitude were we not to pray for those ; our whose o courage and devotedness have added lustre country, and who have sacrificed their ives h fo h r the independence of the Apostolic See and i. the erty of that Church to which we hav e the happiness to belong? Far from us such indifferen . c . e and stoic apathy,unworthy of every Irish and Christian heart. ~ and our The name of the brave will never be forgotten, our prayers and the prayers of the Church will n cesoantly anted to the throne of the Lamb that waa 11." DINNER •TO THE 37th KENT YOLUN TEE,RS. After the review of the 37th Kent Rifle Volun teers, last Thursday, the battalion marched down into the town, and thence to Baker's Cross, where a large marquee with its long line of roof sur mounted by numerous flags, was a welcome object to the hungry volunteers. The tables, laid to accommodate about 450 guests, were loaded to repletion with substantials to appease and delicacies to tempt the appetite ; whilst ' the numerous array of wine bottles gave promise that there would be no lack of " bumpers" to drink the after-dinner toasts. Flowers and evergreens were tastefully disposed about the canvass walls and roof, while " Welcome Volunteers," " Invicta," and other appropriate mottoes caught the eye. This magnifi cent feast had been provided with princely liberality solely at the expense of Major Bell. The arrange ments generally were admirable, every one of the 400 volunteers taking his seat without trouble or confusion. In addition to the whole of the battalion, Major Bell and his lady, Mrs. Bell, had also invited the following guests, who occupied a raised table along one side of the tent :—Lord Sydney, Lady Sydney, Rev. E. Moore, Lady Harriet Moore, A. J. B. Beresford-Hope, Esq., Lady Mildred Beresford- Hope, H. Hoare, Esq., Lady Mary Hoare, E. Hus sey, Esq., the Hon. Mrs. Hussey, Gathorne Hardy, Esq., M.P., Mrs. Hardy, Sir John Herschel, Bart., Lady Herschel, Captain Ruxton (Adjutant); Mrs. Ruxton, Marcus Stone, Esq., Miss Ellen Stone, Miss Bertha Stone, W. C. Morland, Esq., Mrs. Morland, R. Tooth, Esq., Mrs. Tooth, Col. Luard, Rev. H.Harrison, Rev. J. Edge, Rev. John Twells, Rev. W. Rumsey, Rev. A. Eden, Rev. H. Jeffreys, Mi. Maclean, Mr. Elsted, Captain Weller, Captain Tweedie, Captain Ruxten (Chief Constable of Kent), Mr. E. Wilson, Dr. Jobson, Mr. Young, Mr. Piper, &c. Dinner having been succeeded by a plentiful dessert, the chairman, in very eloquent and patriotic speeches, of which, however, we have not space to give even an outline, proposed the usual loyal toasts, which were drunk enthusiastically. The CHAIRMAN, in next proposing the health of " Lord Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of the County," pointed out in forcible terms the great advantages which England derived from a territorial aristo cracy. Viscount SYDNEY returned thanks, and concluded by proposing, in complimentary terms, the health of their hospitable host, Major Bell, and " Success to the 37th Kent Rifle Volunteers." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, the cheers given in honour of the Chairman continuing for several minutes. Major BELL, after having briefly acknowledged the compliment, continued—lf I were asked to ex plain what this assemblage of volunteers meant, I would say it is the expression of opinion of the middle classes of England that England is worth defending. (Cheers.) But if England be worth defending, England may be worth attacking. And when we consider what England is—a little island lying in the Northern Sea, yet exercising an almost boundless influence on the destinies of the world— we can understand why it may be the object and the interest of other powers to attack England. (Hear, hear.) Look at the boundless wealth of England—look at her vast colonial possessions— look at her unrivalled trade—all these things con stitute an object of envy to many foreign powers. (Cheers,) England exercises an amount of influence entirely disproportionate to her territorial extent. That fact is in itself an offence to those who wish England ill. (Hear, hear.) The successful invasion of England would lead not only to the temporary humiliation, but to the dismemberment of England. Recollect that amongst foreign powers England has no real friends. England stands in the way of the objects and ambition of many foreign powers. (Cheers.) But for England, France would exercise an uncontrolled supremacy in Europe ; but for England, Russia might be omnipotent in Asia ; but for England, the whole continent of America would belong to the United States. (Cheers.) A war with England, therefore, might lead to a coalition against England, and a war against England, if suc cessful in its issue, might lead to the absolute dis memberment of England. (Hear, hear.) Eng land is not like France, a territory compact and self-contained. The power of England is spread all over the world. England is weaker at home than anywhere else ; and, there fore, those who strike at England will strike at her heart. (Hear, hear.) If an invasion of England succeeded, recollect that immediately would follow a suspension of that by which England lives — credit. Recollect that the vast mass of the popu tion of England is no longer connected with the cultivation of the soil. The great mass is centred in the towns of England, and the towns of England depend on credit. Suspend credit, which would be the effect of a successful invasion, and it would in volve an annihilation of all the springs of industry. (Cheers.) You have not merely bloodshed, you have famine. If an invasion of England proved successful, there would be an end of the British Empire; there would be an end to the labours of a thousand years. (Cheers.) Look at the state of Europe. Europe never was in a more disturbed state than at the present moment. We happen to live next door to a potentate who is under the in fluence of " ideas ;" and his " ideas" take the form of the annexation of his neighbour's territories. (Cheers and ironical laughter.) Now, ideas are apt to become formidable in so far as they as they are likely to resolve themselves into action. (Hear, hear.) If we study history, we find that " ideas" were as paramount in past times as they are in the present. If you study the history of Rome you will find that for 700 years the Roman people harboured the idea that they were born to rule the universe, and the fact that they did harbour it led to its rea lisation. Every Roman was a soldier, and we find that when the atrocities that the Romans perpe trated amongst their neighbours led to what may be called a combination against Rome, this " idea' enabled them to resist successfully even the genius of Hannibal, the greatest captain of his age ; for al though he held possession of Italy for 16 years, he could not subdue, in the minds of the Romans, that idea. The Itomans believed they were born for universal conquest, and, in virtue of that idea, they achieved universal conquest. So, in comparatively modern times, we find the influence of an idea prevailing in Russia. It is now nearly a thousand years ago that the Muscovites, as they were then termed, began to entertain the idea that their destiny was to obtain possession of Constan tinople. In the year 865 the Muscovites besiegsd Constantinople, and within to o centuries they made four attacks on the city of the Crescent. The " idea" that animated them a thousand years ago animates them still. They still believe that it is their destiny, one day, to become possessors of Con stantinople. if we turn to the history of France, we find that, more than 2,000 years ago, Brennus and his Gauls took possession of Rome; and the ambition of France in the present day seems to be to take possession of Italy. (Cheers.) We have witnessed, within these few months, the annexa tion of Savoy and Nice to the territories of France. And what was the pretext P That in 1798 Savoy belonged to France ! If that pretext be good for one thing, it may be good for another. The Chan nel Islands once belonged to France. Why may not France, by virtue of the same plea, claim that the Channel Islands be restored to her? Nay, more, England itself at one time belonged to the Normans, end the Normans came out of France. Why, then, should not France claim the whole of England, from Kent to Caithness ? (Cheers.) We have heard that France required the annexation of Savoy because she was afraid of Italy. If France be afraid of Italy, may not France profess to be more afraid of England ? (Cheers.) And we, too, have been acting under the influence of " ideas." For the last forty years we seem to have cultivated the idea that wealth could protect itself. We have pro claimed, for the last forty years, that England was only sv becoming r i c h er an d r i c h er d ay b y d ay , an d we have only now awa k ene d t o th e f ac t th a t wea lth alone will not p ro t ec t a country. (Ch eers. ) W e h ave discovered at la s t, an d a marve ll ous di scovery it i s , that our army a n d navy cost money; an d b ecause they cost money, some wou ld ca ll on t h e peop l e o f England to disb an d th e i r so ldi ers an d sa il ors. If th at argument not the i h thingsr anything, whichcost money.o co s the ts army mn e y why,h and navy e administrationaret at of o justice then, should we not dispense, not only with the army and navy, but with the whole system by virtue of which justice is administered in this country. (Cheers.) We have been told by some men, the so-called friends of peace, that it is a pity to irritate France by a display of martial preparations. If that argument be worth any- thing, it may be worth something more. Why should we irritate burglars and housebreakers by a display of laws for the protection of oar lives and property ? (Cheers.) Depend upon it nothing is so costly as a display of national weakness— nothing is so ruinous as the preparation to submit to national disgraee. (Loud cheers.) If you try it by the vulgar money test, nothing is so econo mical as the determination to defend the honour of the country. (Loud cheers.) The country which is prepared at all times to defend its honour will rarely be called on to fight for its existence. (Cheers.) If, on the other hand, a country should be found indisposed to stand up for the maintenance of its honour, rest assured that that country does not deserve to belong to the great comity of na tions. (Cheers.) Nor will it long maintain its rank, for aggressive neighbours will soon discover that the country which is not prepared to fight for its honour, will not long be prepared to fight for its existence; and the country not prepared to fight will soon have little left that 1,5 worth fighting for.' works shall folloc;; them.' The men for whom we have assembled to offer our prayers and sacrifices have written in their blood a noble page in the annals of Christian warfare which shall never be obliterated. They were not adventurers or mer cenaries, as the tongue of calumny has pro claimed ; they were not men seeking for rapine or plunder • they did not belong to the class of modern freebooters whose province it is to disturb the peace of nations, and to spread anarchy and de struction over the earth. They were not the apostles of wild revolutionary projects or of the destructive theories of socialism and communism. Had they embarked in such wicked schemes they would have been extolled as heroes by a licentious press. But their aspirations were quite different ; when they turned their thoughts to a military career they pro posed fo themselves the example of a Morris or a Lewis, and their impulse and motives were truly Christian. A cry of distress was raised in Rome, the city of the martyrs ' the centre of Christianity , and they rushed forward to defend their own and the common home of all Catholics, to support the rights of the most ancient, and legitimate, and paternal sovereignty of Europe, and to vindicate the authority of their spiritual father, the benefac tor of bis own people, and the friend of Ireland in the days of her distress. In a small State habitually opposed to warlike proceedings the hope of military promotion could not have had any attractions, nor were any temporal advantages to be expected from a Prince reduced to great straits by perfidious enemies. Here wealth, honours, earthly distinc tions were forgotten. Nothing but faith, charity, devotedness to their religion, a thirst for right and justice could have swayed the minds of the brave men who, in answer to the call of distress, laid their swords and their lives at the feet of Christ's vicar on earth. In the gallant band that gathered round the throne of Peter, prepared to meet the coming storm, there were many in whose veins ran the noblest blood of every Catholic country in Europe, and some of Erin's bravest and worthiest children. What. shall I say of their chief commander, ren dered already immortal by his victories, and now dear to every Christian in his defeat ? What shall I say of his assistant in the command, brave Pimo dan, , who abandoned wealth, and pleasures, and honours, and family, aspiring to the rewards promised in the Gospel to such sacrifices, and who showed the earnestness of his devotion to the cause of faith by dying in its defence? What shall I say of our own chivalrous and daring countrymen, who, guided by our O'Reillys and other illustrious Irish names, showed them selves worthy followers of a Lamoriciere and a Pimodan ? Let the vile scribe who called such men mercenaries and cowards hang his head for shame, and be for ever branded as a liar and calumniator. Never was there a more gallant band ; they were few in number, but strong in faith in the justice of their cause ; and quite sufficient for the purposes of their enrolment—that is, to suppress sedition and revolutionary movements. But, alas ! a wicked Ahab had cast a covetous eye on. the vineyard of Naboth, and determined to destroy the faithful guards to whose custody it had been committed. What a sacrilegious enterprise—what an awful re sponsibility rests on the soul of the unhappy man who, while endeavouring to strip the Pontiff of his inheritance, has shed torrents of innocent blood that will cry to Heaven for vengeance against him ! In opposition to all law, human and Divine, in despite ofjustice and good faith, of religion and honour, on a sudden, without even declaring war, the bands of the excommunicated King of Sardinia were let loose on the States of the Church, and assailed the Papal army while it had no reason to expect such an attack. Of what avail could military skill or undaunted courage be in such a crisis, when the invading forces, acting like robbers or assassins, had seized on the strongest positions, and selected the battle-ground most favourable to themselves, and, adding perfidy to overwhelming numbers had commenced the struggle before they gave any inti mation of their hostile intentions. If they gained their end they have to boast of nothing but the success of perfidy and brute force. Yet they are praised by the infidel press of France, and the anti- Catholic and brutalised portion of the press of Eng land, and extolled as models of military virtue and heroism. But no disadvantages could shake the courage of the soldiers of the cross, the children of the Crusades. Having prepared themselves for the day of danger by prayer and washed away every stain of sin by the Sacrament of Penance ; having strengthened their weakness by the Bread of An• gels, they accepted the unequal contest without hesitation or dismay. The struggle though short, was dreadful. Who can describe the valorous exploits that were performed on the side of justice and truth ? Suffice it to say, that the fields of Castelfidardo and Loreto were strewn with the bodies of those who fell dead or wounded de fending treachery an,d usurpation, while equal re tribution was inflicted by O'Reilly and his brave followers on those who assailed the old fortress of Spoleto. Though the Sardinian troops were ten times more numerous than their opponents, yet it appears that they suffered far greater losses than the defenders of the cause of truth, who seem to have been miraculously protected by the arm of God. Pimodan, however, and many of his followers fell; perfidy and numbers prevailed against them. But was not the spectacle which they presented in their heroic struggle worthy of God, of men, and of an gels ? What a happiness to have fought for the cause of Heaven in the presence of God and with the expectation of a celestial crown ! How glori ous in future will be the names of those that have fallen ! Who would not rather sleep in death with them than live with the brand of per fidy on their names, and the guilt of blood upon their souls, as• is the lot of their vic torious antagonists ? As for those, and they are many, who passed unscathed through the :bloody ordeal of Spoleto, Perugia, and Loreto, the con sciousness of the sacrifices made for religion will console them in their after life, and generations yet unborn will pronounce their names with veneration and respect. And here let us make a brief obser vation on the principles involved in the late events in Italy, which are only one scene in the long strug gle carried on from the beginning of the world be tween virtue and vice, light arid darkness, heaven and hell. The great ostensible leader on the one side is the King of Sardinia, who, however, is only acting the part of others as culpable as himself. Having persecuted virtue and justice for many years in his own States, having banished or im prisoned many men distinguished for their piety and learning, having confiscated the property of monasteries and convents and trampled on the rights of the Church, he bas now added to his iniquity by openly assailing, in the most treacherous manner, the common Father of the Faithful. The great auxiliary of Victor Emanuei , his very right hand, is the Dictator of Naples--a man who can only be classed among r s itish freebooters. Why he is so praised by the him in press—why such sums are raised for adventurers are Eng land—why so many English pirates It to em barking in his cause, it would be under stand were it not known that thedhiDeff: hatred of pan dering to their bigotry ile.cutator is Catholicity—that he has shownand t his tendencies iss and in England, tilt. Protestant by an apostated Protestantism by sending his son to be educated priesthood, and the ot* a decided hatred everywhere lie has manifest. Pjl dvo the Papacy, the Catholic s poliation, violence, bribery, Ca tholic Church. The principles a . ea e by th ese for every idea principles would . be safe ; every unhappy men are of right and corrupti on,justice. and If ctohpnortsoeepme were to have a final triumph, no retaining no State would be secure against - .a neighbour, no Government stolen successful goods robber; would be justified i protected pow-els.ftuilnternal treachery . and bribery ; the wildest again most pernicious revolutionary doctrines and the pr inciples of Socialism and Communism would pre vail. Honour, then, and eternal gratitude to the children of Erin and their brave companions who endeavoured to stem a torrent replete with such dangers to religion and society ! Their names de serve to be recorded among man kind. Opposed t o the the benefactors of Sardinian sa tellites, and the great representative King ft d ru l t r h is and justice, is the holy Pontiff Pius IX. Without power, without wealth, abandoned or betrayed by calm, patient, r es i gned, full of charity the great ones of th e earth, our Holy Father, ai d meek ness, but firm as a rock, presents to his children a spectacle the mos t su b lime of majesty an d dignity. The principl es the Gospel ; here presents are those of truth and he teaches us to respect property,. to obey legitimate authority, and to support the s p irit of subordination, without which society mu s t ne cessarily decay and fall. What a glorio us privi lege to die or to fight in defence of such a cause ! It is the cause of the Church of Christ, the cause of religion, the cause of God himself. For the moment, however, victory has been denied to it; but the cause is not lost. Perhaps it is iu the designs of Providence that the church and. her Chief Pa stor should suffer trials and per secutions for .sot tie time ; but humiliations, borne for justice sake, IL 'ad to glory and to triumph. It was by Ills agmly And death, and by the humility of the Cross, that: o:ir Divine Redeemer overcame the powers of dark ness and freed us from the slavery of hell. The. Church has often been perse cuted, and often wept over the sufferings of her children. but the blood of martyrs has always been the seed of Christians. The Pontiffs have often been in exile and chains; many of them have died upon the scaffold, but their authority has never died, never been destroyed. Even in the present cntury a Pius' VII, was dragged from his throne ; his States were annexed to France by the ambitious uncle of the present Emperor. The same scenes were then enacted which we now witness ; and and infidelity shouted with exultation :that the Papacy was at an end. What was the result?' The Pope returned in triumph to Rome, and re acquired all his territory. Napoleon I. was sent to e xuiate his offences and to die a captive on a. barren rock in a distant ocean. The same will now' happen soc. - mer or later ; contempt for all law,. human and divine—anarchy, perfidy, violence may prevail for a against the Apootolic See—but in the end the Chn:ch and her Supreme Pastor will. triumph. While sit.'dding a tear and offering our prayers for the ',us dead, let us not forget to pray for the cause for • which they died, imploring' of the Almighty to shor e. the days of the tribula tion of the just, to quiet n the troubled waves and. waters, and to strengthen: and exalt our Holy Pontiff, and to restore peace a nd happiness to the Church. Let God arise and let H i s enemies be scattered, and let them who hate Him flee from. before his face."' THE sTERATBY MU.RDER. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS' On Saturday morning Mr. Step 'ens, the summon ing officer of Stepney, was .engag , ed in collecting fresh evidence which has not bee:'' discovered by the detective police. A man named Philip Cornelius, a lighterman,„ employed at Nicholson's Wharf, Lo ndon bridge,. has been found, who was drinking with the pri soner (Mullins) at six o'clock on the ,evening of Monday, the 13th of August, at a publie, -house in Three Colt-lane, Bethnal-green. This is tike even— ing on which the murder is supposed to ha ve been committed at the deceased's (Mrs. Emaley's) resi dence. The man Cornelius left the accused about seven o'clock, and he never saw him afterwards. He was very intimate with Mullins, whom he hAd known for several years. A man named Harrison, a weaver, residing in Park-street, close to the house where Emma re sided, has been summoned by Mr. Stevens, as Mul lins was seen by him between two and three o'clock on the Sunday morning walking from the brick field where the parcel was discovered by Sergeant Thomas on the Sunday afternoon, the 9th ultlino, which would be the day they were both appre hended. Several other witnesses will be in attendance, with Dr. Gill, of the Bow-road. The latter will be examined as to the marks of blood found upon ft sovereign which has been forwarded to the Coroner (Mr. John Humphreys). An application has . been made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and from . what the reporter learned from the police of the K divi sion, the prisoner Mullins will not be present at the adjourned inquest on Tuesday next. The brickfield and the house of Emms were yesterday (Sunday) objects of attraction, and crowds of persons visited both places 0 UNTIDY MARKETS. YORK- OCT. 13. ...
