Russian war broke out all the indiscretions of his pen and tongue were forgotten, and, with much effervescence of champagne at the Reform Club, he was appointed to the command of the Baltic Fleet. With what result ? We need not repeat the story of what he did not accomplish. We are content in this moment of sorrow to take his cousin Sir William Napier's estimate of what he did accomplish :—" He caused the 30 sail composing the powerful Russian fleet to shrink like rats into their holes ; he took Bomarsund, caused Hango to be blown up, interrupted the Russian commerce, and for six months kept in a state of inaction certainly 80,000 or 90,000 good troops. He restored and enlarged the knowledge of the Gulf of Finland to navigation ; ascertained what large vessels can do there, and what they cannot do; when they can act alone, when with troops, and when gunboats can be used with effect. He carried out an ill manned, undisciplined fleet; he brought back un harmed a well-organised, well-disciplined one, with crews exercised in gunnery and seamanship—in fine, a fleet now really what it was falsely called when it started—that is to say, one of the most irresistible that ever floated on the ocean for all legitimate purposes of naval warfare." As usual, Sir Charles got into difficulties with his superiors, and he was not entrusted a second time with the command, of ,the fleet. There were fierce recrimin tions, which had better now be forgotten. Sir Charles consoled himself for the loss of the Baltic fleet by becoming a second time the representative of a metropolitan borough in Parliament. He was an ardent Radical, after his hearty honest fashion, and as such had in 1841, after his Acre exploit, re commended himself to the electors of Marylebone. After the Baltic cruise he won the sweet voices of Southwark, in the representation of which borough his death creates a vacancy. The fatigues of the recent session proved too much even for his iron frame. About ten days since he was seized with dysentery, and though the progress of the disease seemed checked at first, he suffered a relapse, and died yesterday morning at his residence in Hamp shire. In private life he was revered and respected as a tender father and a faithful friend.— Times. of Syria. On the 10th of September following he effected a landing at D'Journie with 1,500 Turks and Marines. In the same month he defeated a body of the enemy at Kelbson ; and afterwards bombarded and stormed, with a force of not more than 900 allies and 500 Turks, the strong town of Sidon, protected by a fort and citadel and a line of wall defended by 2,700 men, all of whom he made prisoners. On that occasion, at the head of the British Marines, he broke into the barracks of the enemy, and then obtained possession of the Castle. On the 9th of October following he utterly routed an Egyptian force under Ibrahim Pasha in a strong position in the mountains near Beyrout. The result of this victory and the forward movement preceding it was the surrender of Beyrout to the allies, and the entire disorganisation and submission of the army of Soliman Pasha. After co-operating in the memorable attack upon St. Jean D'Acre, he pro ceeded to take charge of the squadron off Alexan dria, where he landed and concluded a convention with Mehemet Ali, which brought the war to a conclusion. In acknowledgment of his distinguished services during the campaign Sir Charles was created a K.C.B. on the 4th of December, 1840, and was also included in the vote of thanks by the Houses of Parliament. He was RIK; presented by the Emperors of Russia and Austria and the King of Prussia, with the Orders of St. George of Russia; Maria Theresa of Austria ; and the Red Eagle of Prussia. In November, 1841, he was appointed Naval Aide-de-Canip to her Majesty. The Captains' Good Service Pension had been awarded to him in 1837. In May, 1847, he hoisted his flag in the St. Vincent, 120." interest to propagate the idea, that England, especially of late years, had been so devoted to the arts of peace that she had entirely lost those energies which made the forefathers of the present race of Englishmen so distinguished in war. I do not believe there is a man in this room who ever imagined that that really was the case; and still there were those who did propa gate such a belief; and that saying of the first Napoleon, that you are a nation of shopkeepers, had become a saying that had obtained a cur rency, and permit me to say also, that had ac By order of the Court.

Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Col burn, 13, Great Mailboroutgh-street. The group of illustrious men who came into the world in the same decade with the French Revolu tion is fast dying out. The survivors of that epoch are now more than threescore and ten years of age, and very few of them are left. To-day we have to chronicle the departure of one more of the small group—Admiral Sir Charles Napier. It has often been our duty in the later years of his life to speak plainly of the gallant old Admiral, but in anything that may have fallen• from us we hope that we have never forgotten his real merits. These were of no mean order, and fairly entitle him to the admira tion and gratitude of his countrymen.

If a contradiction were wanted, the volunteer movement has supplied a contradiction to all such—a contradiction not in words alone, for contradictions in words are of but small avail, but a practical confutation such as the world has seen, has recognised, and has admired, of which the moral impression has gone abroad in every country of Europe, and of which the moral effect has been both to raise the cha racter of England in every foreign land, and like wise to add strength to the hopes of those who nurture and cherish principles like those of Eng lishmen, and in adding strength to those princißles, to brighten our hopes for the future destiaes, of mankind.

As I have said, I believe that England is strong in character and reputation at this moment, and is secure from all danger that might threaten her —(hear, hear)—but at the same time I admit, in answer to that appeal, and without pretending to superiority of knowledge, that Europe has arrived at a critical period of her history. Without en tering into Utopian theories, which perhaps ten years ago too much prevailed amongst us, 1 for one do hope that, in some respects at least, the vaunted progress of the 19th century is a reality, and that many at least of the causes of vain, foolish, and wicked wars that have heretofore desolated the earth are now losing their command over the hearts and minds of men, and I think it a satisfactory sub ject of reflection for Englishmen, if we be right in Bankers—Messrs.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHcEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little hook, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of u n q ua lifi e d adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

Sold also by Kent and Co.,"Paternoeter-rovi; !.Mann, 39 is summed up all that he was. A Napier is a man possessed of high spirits, immense courage, and in genuity, prodigious egotism, and a critical or theo retical faculty which incites to deeds of astounding audacity. And so another Napier, another of the " Ready, aye ready," school, is gone. We shall never more see his ruddy, jolly countenance twitch ing under his broadbrim, as in his blue coat and white trousers he trudged down to the House heavily burdened with a speech on the sorrows of the navy. He has fired his last gun ;he is gone to the haven of his rest. We will forget long speeches and wordy letters, to remember him only as he was in his prime,—the daring and the brilliant captain. He was born at Merchistoun-hall, in the county of Stirling, on the 6th of March, 1786. His family trace their descent from the celebrated inventor of logarithms. His father, after whom he was named, was the second son of Francis, the fifth Lord Napier. He entered the navy at the age of 13 as a volunteer, and served on board a great variety of vessels, from sloops to flagships, on many dif ferent stations, from the North Sea to the Medi terranean, and from the Mediterranean to the West Indies. These were the mighty Nelson days, but it was not Sir Charles Napier's good fortune to be engaged in any of the great naval battles for which the early part of the present century is renowned. Our cruisers, however, were on every sea, and Napier had not a few opportunities of dis tinction in fighting single vessels of the enemy, in cutting out merchantmen, and in attacking West Indian islands, such as St. Thomas and Martinique. In an action with a French corvette of 22 guns he had his thigh broken by a shot. In the attack upon Martinique he won great applause for his temerity in scaling the ramparts with but five men, and in planting the Union Jack on Fort St. Edward. He won promotion as well as applause for his conduct in a subsequent affair, when he assisted Sir Alex ander Cochrane (now a well-known name) in chas ing three French ships of the line, and in capturing one of them—a 74. He pressed the enemy so hard, and did them so much damage, that his Commander made him Captain at once, and the Admiralty were not slow to confirm the appointment. The next that we hear of him is in the Peninsula, amusing himself in the campaign with his cousins George, Charles, and William Napier. Here " Black Charles," as he was called by his cousins, saw a good deal of land fighting —was, indeed, talking to the other Charles when a bullet entered the nose of the latter, lodged in the jaw, and shat tered the bone. In November, 1810, Charles James Napier writes to his mother, " Black Charles is a queer fellow as ever crossed me, and as honest a one," and then he gives the copy of a letter which the queer fellow, on quitting the army, addressed to the First Lord of the Admiralty : " Sir,—My leave of absence is just out. I don't think it worth remaining here, for I expect you will give me a ship, as I am almost tired of campaigning, which is a rum con- " C. N." The result of this appeal was an appointment 'to the Thames, 32. In this vessel, and in the Eurya lus, we find him performing many signal services, silencing:batteries, landing troops, capturing mer chantmen and whole fleets of gunboats, driving on shore vessels which he could not capture, and finally operating with distinguished ability against Balti more with a division of boats under his orders. When the peace came Napier, like many another gallant spirit, found himself condemned to inactivity. After 14 years' waiting he found employment again in the Galatea, on the Portuguese coast, and it was in this period of his life that he first ac quired a great position before the public. In per forming his service for the British Government he became interested in the affairs of Portugal, and ventured both to express his opinion as to the feasibility of certain operations and to exert himself in the cause of Don Pedro. Considerable sympathy was felt in this country for Don Pedro, and an ex pedition under Captain Sartorius left the Thames in support of his claims. Eventually the command of this expedition devolved on Captain Napier, who succeeded in vanquishing the fleet of Don Miguel. He encountered this fleet, consisting of two line-of battle ships and two frigates, besides several cor• vettes, brigs, and a xebeque on the 3d of July, 1833. He attacked at once, and brought the action to a speedy close by boarding the enemy from his flag ship. Short as the conflict was, it was decisive, for both the ships of the line, one of the frigates, and one of the corvettes remained in his possession. He was thanked for an exploit which placed the Queen upon the throne, was honoured with the title of Viscount Capo San Vincente, and was appointed Admiral-in-Chief of the Portuguese fleet. Napier, however, was dissatisfied with subsequent dealings which he had with the Government, and especially with the reduction of the fleet, and he soon quitted the Portuguese service in disgust. He had earned so much distinction, however, that it was not difficult for him to find employment in England. He was in 1839 appointed second in command of the Medi terranean fleet, under Sir R. Stopford, and he came in for some fighting on the Syrian coast. He is a very prominent figure in the storming of Sidon, in the defeat of Ibrahim Pasha among the moun tains of Beyrout, and most glorious of all in the reduction of Acre. Sir Charles Napier among the mountains of Beyrout would no doubt again be described by his cousin as " the queerest fellow he ever came across," and as he led the British tars, riding an ass, covered with a great straw hat, wielding a huge stick and followed by his dog Pow, he raised many a laugh. But if Napier on land cut a queer figure, he appeared in a different light on his native element. The attack on Acre was a very brilliant affair, in which he won golden opinions, though it must be remembered that he was only second in command, and that to Sir R. Stopford belongs at least some of the credit which Sir Charles seemed inclined to appropriate entirely to himself. We are not now going to open up a con troversy which has long since been exhausted. The Admiral accused the Commodore of disobeying or ders, and the Commodore blamed the Admiral for want of alacrity. It is enough to say that the storming of Acre was at once a great military and am daring.gorr more great political haHn ej uwsat is e fi v me e d n a t d , he snad reputation Knight n i t g N h a t p Commanderi Napier on for r his dash part a a n r od t f the Bath, and shortly afterwards, on his return to England, he was appointed to the command of the Channel Fleet. It was now that he began to work his critical faculty. He exposed many naval abuses, and he suggested not a few reforms, some of which he had the good fortune to see adopted before he died ; but be carried these attacks too far, and rendered his suggestions of doubtful value through the person ality of style which he exhibited in common with his cousins. It is not wise in an Admiral who hopes for employment to accuse one Minister of effron tery, to sneer at another as a fool, and to treat of all with asperity . It is not wise in any man to re duce a great public question to a contest of person alities, to be perpetua ll y complaining that his merits are not recognised, and to insist upon it that the neglect of his suggestions is to be explained by the spitefulness of oppon ents. This, however, Sir Charles Napier was too frequently in the habit of doing, and he did it to the very last. When the The following is a condensed summary of the de ceased Admiral's services, from O'Byrne's Naval Biography:—" Sir Charles was the eldest son of the Hon. Charles Napier, of Merchistoun-hall, county Stirling, and was born on the 6th of March, 1786 ; entered the navy the Ist of November, 1799, as a first-class volunteer on board the Martin sloop, em ployed in the North Sea. In the following year served in the Renown, 74, flag of Sir John Borlase Warren ; accompanied the expedition to Ferrol, and next proceeded to the Mediterranean, where in November, 1802, he became midshipman on board the Greyhound, 32, Captain Wil liam Hoste. Served afterwards successively in the Egyptienne, Mediator, and Renommee, frigates. Made lieutenant 30th of November, 1805, into the Courageux, 74, forming part of the squadron under Sir J. B. Warren, at the capture of the French 80-gun ship Marengo, bearing the flag of Admiral Linois, and the 40-gun frigate Belle Poule. In March, 1807, was nominated out of the Prince George, 98, then in the West Indies, to the acting command of the Pultusk brig, and confirmed by the Admiral on the 30th of November follow ing. After witnessing the reduction of the Danish islands, St. Thomas and St. Croix, Captain Napier assisted in the boats of the F awn sloop at the cut ting•out of a Spanish merchant vessel from under the batteries of Puerto Rico. In August, assumed the command of the Recruit, of 18 guns, and on the 6th September fought a very smart action with, and ultimately put to flight, the Diligent°, French corvette, of 22 guns and 140 men. In this action the Recruit's mainmast was shot away, many of her carronades dismounted, sever al of her men killed and wounded, and Captain Napier himself had his thigh broken, but refused to leave the deck until the conclusion of the engagement. In February, 1809, assisted in the reduction of Mar tinique, where he won distinction and considerably shortened the siege by the manner in which, with only five men, he landed in open day, scaled the walls, and planted the Union Jack on the ramparts of Fort Edward. In the following April, during Sir Alex. Cochrane's pursuit of three French ships of the line, which terminated in the capture of the 74 gun ship D'Haupoult, he signalised himself by the proximity he kept to the enemy, and by his efforts to injure their spars and rigging, although fired at by the enemy from all their stern chasers, and for which he was posted into the prize. Capt. Napier returned to England in the Jason frigate. He afterwards served as a volunteer with the army in Portugal, was present at the battle of Busaco, and was wounded. In 1811 commis sioned to the Thames, 32. On the 21st of July, in company with the Cephalus brig, was engaged with and silenced the fire of a flotilla of 11 gunboats and a felucca, carrying 13 guns and 280 men, moored across the harbour of Porto del In freschi, on the coast of Italy, and also of a round tower on the shore and of a body of, infantry on the adjacent hills. On November 1, 1811, in command of his own ship's boats and those of the Imperieuse, Capt. Napier landed, with 250 men of the 62d Regiment under Major Dailey, at the back of the harbour of Palinuro, where he carried the heights in gallant style under a heavy fire from the enemy, who were in large force, and who attempted to re take their position after dark, but were compelled to retire. The next day assisted in the capture and destruction of 10 gunboats, and 22 richly laden feluccas on the beach at Palinuro, and a battery of 24-pounders protecting them. On the 14th of May, 1812, attacked the port of Sapri, and enforced the surrender of a strong battery and tower mount ing two 32-pounders, and with an officer and 38 men, whom, in consideration of their brave defence, Captain Napier allowed to march out with the honours of war. On the 26th of February, 1813, in company with the Furieuse, 36, and having on , board the 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, under j Lieut.-Col. Coffin, Captain Napier, in a most mas terly manner and without loss, took possession of the island of Ponza, notwithstanding that in the attempt he was exposed to the fire of four bat teries and a tower mounting ten 24 and 18-pounders, two 12-pounders, and two 9-inch mortars. Next joined the Euryalus, 36, and captured with her boats the La Fortune national zebec, carrying ten long 9-pounders and four swivels, and 95 men, with upwards of 20 merchant :vessels lying in Cavalarie Roads. During the winter drove on shore in Calvi Bay the Balleine French storeship, of 22 guns and 120 men, and compelled a gaberre of 30 guns and 150 men, laden with stores, and a national schooner of the largest class to seek refuge under the land batteries. Took dart in the bril liant expedition against Alexandria, and rendered such efficient service that Capt. J. A. Gordon, the conducting officer, declared in his despatches ' that he owed him more obligations than he had words to express.' Afterwards served in the subsequent operations against Balti more. In June, 1815, the Euryalus, the ship Captain Napier then commanded, was paid off, and her captain nominated a C.B. From January, 1829, until the early part of 1832, Captain Napier was employed in the Galatea, on particular service. In 1833 Sir Charles succeeded Admiral Sartorius in the command of Dom Pedro's fleet, and gained a signal victory over the more numerous and powerful fleet of Dorn Miguel, off Cape St. Vincent, for which he was rewarded with the title of Count Cape St . Vincent, and with the Order of the Tower and Sword. On the Ist of January, 1839, he was appointed to the command of the Powerful, 84, on board which vessel in the following year he hoisted his Commodore's pennant as second in command, under Admiral Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, of the English fleet on the coast The distribution of prizes to the successful com petitors at the first annual contest of the Chester artillery and rifle volunteers, which came off last week on their shooting ground at Waverton, took place on Monday at Chester. At two o'clock the artillery and rifle corps mustered in the Linen-hall, and thence, headed by the band of the Stirlingshire militia, marched to the Roodee, where, a few evolu tions having been gone through by the volunteers, under the command of Col. S. B. Hamilton, the newly appointed adjutant, the prizes were distri buted by the mayoress (Mrs. Meadows Frost), with an appropriate address. After the distribution of the prizes the volunteers marched to the Music-hall, where an excellent cold collation was provided for them at the expense of the Mayor, who presided. Amongst the guests at the principal table were the Bishop of Chester, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis of Westminster, Earl Grosvenor, M.P., P. S. Humberston, Esq., M.P., Col. Wilbraham, C. 8., Capt. White, R.N., &c. The usual loyal toasts having been disposed of, the MAYOR proposed " The Army and Navy, and the Volunteers," which was responded to by Col. WILBRAHAM, C. 8., who referred to the importance of rifle matches as a means of securing the permanence of the movement, and gave some practical advice respecting the mode of conducting them ; by Capt. White, R.N., and by Capt. Hum berston, M.P. " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," pro posed by the MAYOR, was responded to by the respected diocesan himself, and " The Lord Lieute nant of the County" was responded to by the Marquis of Westminster, who stated that there were now 33 rifle corps established in the county and six brigades of artillery, making together a force considerably upwards of 2,000 men. The Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P., on rising to propose the next toast, was received with tremendous cheering. He said—Mr.Mavor,my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, having the requisite permis sion, I rise to propose to you a toast which I am sure you will drink with cordiality. It is " Pro sperity to the Ancient City of Chester ;" and with that toast I mean to couple two names which will be acceptable to you all—the names of those re spected persons who represent you in the Com mons House of Parliament. (Applause.) With respect, gentlemen, to the city of Chester, I re joice to think that whilst we wish her prosperity, we wish her that which she is rapidly acquiring. One of the most ancient of all the cities of this land, she has seen many vicissitudes during her long existence. At times she has been threatened by rivals, and some sources of her prosperity and influence have been withdrawn, but of late years we have seen that those great changes which have done so much for the general development of the energies of the country have been eminently favourable to Chester, and that now, venerable as she is, when she counts so many centuries of her being, she is prepared to run a race against all competitors, and prosperity appears likely to be reserved for her in abundance. (Applause.) Three years ago I had the honour in this hall of witness ing the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society and it was then observed that Chester gave to that great national institution just twice the numbers and just twice the receipts that had ever before attended any one of its anniversaries. (Applause.) And now, gentlemen, with respect to an occasion at least as interesting. When I survey the ranks that are before me, when I reckon your numbers, though this is not the place for figures, I believe'l should be justified in saying that, if we compare the numbers which Chester relatively to her popu lation has furnished to the volunteer force of the country, they are far beyond the average relation of that force to the entire population. (Applause.) I believe, Mr. Mayor, that is true of Chester which is true of England—namely, that whilst she is old she is still young—(hear, hear)—and that the blood that,beats in her heart and courses through her veins beats and courses there with as much vigour as at any previous period of her long and famous career. (Applause.) Now, Mr. Mayor, in naming to you your representatives in Parliament, I name to you not only those who enjoy the confidence of their fellow-citizens and fellow-burgesses, and who, I believe, merit that confidence, but I likewise name to you gentlemen who have taken a distinguished part in the orga nisation of the force to which you, gentlemen, belong. (Applause.) You know that one of them whom you have heard to-day has devoted the great influence and popularity which he enjoys, and like wise has given the tribute of his personal services, to the promotion of this important cause.. (Hear, hear.) You know that the other—l mean Lord Grosvenor—(applause)—has been from the very first one of the most energetic, efficient, and dis tinguished among all those who by giving their countenance to these volunteer efforts have done so much to raise the character and to strengthen the security of this country. It is in that character perhaps to-day that we ought chiefly to recognise them. And now, gentlemen, allow .me to say but a very few words on the purposes for which you are united. I confess that I think that those would take a very narrow view of your institution who founded it upon any apprehension of immediateen danger to the country. No flotibt there have been to pronounce opinions which could those who have felt alarmed, anlddbiet i o s f n n o o t forme autho rity upon the subject, but my own part I don't believe . be, I think, placing your must t t the confess s that ore s for of (Hear,England hear,) e a are r at lt w this o u ldparticular period in danger. think it would be claims on too low a placingg r o u t n h d e . n I u p m o u n s t also a g r s o a u y n d I assign to you a tem- porary rather eornmlyanent existence, if we which p r obabl t y ha w n ou a ld p were to suppose that inducedit was yo u a actual a n a l a a k p o p apprehension n g s r i e o a n t on ly that had efforts and the great sacrifices which you have made in a noble cause. But, undoubtedly, I must admit that there has been in some countries at least of Europe an idea propagated, and there h a ve been those who have thought it for their the opinion that some of us hold, that commerce— in which this country has been the standard-bearer to the world—has higher and nobler aims than the mere increase of wealth, that it carries with it whithersoever it goes a mission of peace, and that it is destined to be a bond of moral and social union to mankind as well as the means of increasing our command over material enjoyments. But even if this be so, and even if England be strong, I say this is a period when it is requisite that she should be strong. We cannot look to the south of Europe without seeing that there are there at work elements of danger with respect to which it is most impor tant that those great Powers that sway in the main the destinies of Europe' should be able to exercise a qualifying and beneficial influence. We have seen during the present year a war in progress in Italy— a war, gentlemen, with respect to which I for one am bound to say that I believe every friend of peace must look upon it, if not with satisfaction, yet at least with this conviction, that the struggles of a gallant country to free itself from long oppression deserve the sympathy of men, and deserve, above all others in Europe, the sympathies of Englishmen. (Loud applause.) Let, me, sir, add thus much. As the rifles that we have seen today, as the uniforms that are now before us, as all this splendour of mili tary parade really aims at the security and peace of man, such is the aim of the war in Italy—(loud ap plause)—and if, as I trust may be the case, it be the counsel of Providence that that country shall soon become a free and a united nation, this, indeed, I think we acquire from the very war that is now in progress—a new guarantee for the permanent and solid peace of Europe. (Applause.) There is, in deed, such a thing as a hollow and a treacherous peace, and that peace is treacherous and hollow which is only maintained by the armed force of the stranger trampling upon the necks of men and talking of order and of law, when in point of fact he is himself the greatest violator of both. (Loud applause.) Now, gentlemen, I rejoice to think that you yourselves have contributed, perhaps more than every one of you may have reflected on, to the prosperous progress of that great national struggle. (Hear.) I don't mean merely because England set the example which after nearly two centuries Italy is following—for in 1688, upon provocation suffi cient indeed, but not one-hundredth part of the provocation that that people has endured, you took into your own hands the settlement of your own affairs, and established a precedent to which she is entitled to appeal, and you will not refuse her chal- lenge—(applause)—but, sir, more than this, you have contributed to the settlement of Italy by help ing to make England strong, at a time when, as every Italian knows, the moral influence of England has been upon the whole the steadiest and firmest support and the most abundant source of brotherly sympathy upon which Italy could count throughout the length and breadth of Europe. (Hear, hear.) I am afraid, gentlemen, the time will come when we shall hear again of a race, of a kingdom, of a people who have been the cause to us in former times of no small effort, and no small sacrifice—l mean our friends the Turks. You did by enormous efforts and enormous sacrifices, in a war which was short, sanguinary, and costly in a degree beyond all parallel—Europe did put a curb upon gigantic schemes of restless ambition ; but at the same time I think it would be deceiving ourselves were we to attempt to overlook the fact that the repression of Russia was not the regeneration of Turkey, and that Europe has still much to do in that quar ter of the globe before the causes can be removed and t he political horizon cleared. (Applause.) What are the questions that will arise in regard to that when gigantic subject,will arise, on andf how they n whose side you may be . an d who may be against you, I know not . but oud for the sake of those brotherly interests that prevail among men—for the sake of the enormous boots that it is in the power of a well-constituted courtntry to confer upon nat i o ns l ess happy—l for my Pa rejoice that, at a time when the elements of danger are rife in Europe, and the greatest questions stand for solution, that at a time like that in particular England should phygioany which we De strong. The de both mora lly and strength of see here a sy na _ y o lopmeat of stren g b o l and a Part is of that description which is pecu liarly English. It is most true, I think, a s h as that he who reckons th e we ll been sa id, volunteers ' a dding a force of 160,000 or 170,000 as :'a to the military strength of the country takes a view of what they havnbeen, of what they will do, of what they may be, and of what they are, that is totally inadequate to the truth of the case. It is not to their numbers that we are to see their real charac ter; for, in the first place, we well know that if the call of danger, if the sound of danger were really heard, if the call of duty came upon you, for every volunteer we now see before us this very city itself would yield ten, and the multitudes that are enrolled at this moment would be a handful corn pared with those who would be ready to obey the behests of their country. (;.oud applause.) But, again, let them remember, if ever there was a move• meat which strictly deserved the character of a spontaneous movement, if ever there were volun teers that were volunteers indeed, they are those whom I now see before me. (Applause.) Not only was it not compulsion, but it was not encor a g r . .) meet that created this great force. (Hear, e I say so the more particularly because it implies blame to no man. it implies ev en a sound discre had been very freely opened in the first instance this movement ever would have attained tither its material extension or its high moral cha racter. There can be no difference of opinion, I am sure, between us about:this matte. All that is requisite to give solidity and permanence to this movement will now, I am certain, be freely and gladly done by any Administration ; but I am sure you will agree with me in this, that nothing in such a matter should be thrown upon the public except that which cannot be done by indi viduals, for the real value and the real energy, the real fruit and profit of this manifestation, depend upon the maintenance of such a principle as that. And now, gentlemen, by this manifestation you have produced indeed a most favourable effect upon the world ; but you have likewise contracted a very solemn engagement before the world. Let me, above all things, now commend to your considera tion the one subject that transcends all others -4 how your movement is to be made a permanent part of the organisation of the country. We may come to times when perhaps either danger may be less or we may be less alive to it; but I think you will agree with me that if, as this force has come rapidly into existence, so the energies which have created it were by and by rapidly to disappear, the good. will which has hitherto existed were to flag, and the force were to dwindle from point to point over the surface of the country, that you will have done little indeed to add to the permanent reputation and character of England ; and many, sir, as aro the obligations which we owe to you for having gathered us together on this festive occasion, think the greatest fruit that we can promise our selves from such a celebration is this—that every man who has assisted at it shall go home carrying in his mind the strong conviction that his duty does not terminate with one or with another of these parties, of these reviews, of these competitions, car ried on at a period when the public mind generally is in a state of lively interest ; but that he will most truly serve his country in connexion with the volunteer movement—not who contributes most to the momentary splendour of that development, but who contributes most to give solidity and perma nent efficiency to your organisation. (Applause.) Mr. Mayor, those are the sentiments with which I for one regard this great institution. I will not say, sir, that I hope you will again summon us some years hence, when again occupying with the same dignity the civic chair. We may not always be so fortunate as we are to-day; but, whoever be the first magistrate of this city, this at least we may be permitted to hope, that he will find that when the severe test of time is applied to the ener getic sentiments of the present moment they will bear that test—(hear, hear)—and that not in 1860 only, but for many years to come, you, and those who form your noble fellowship throughout the land, will continue to give, as you give us now, no note of defiance to other countries, no symptom of a tendency to disregard or undervalue the rights of those who inhabit other countries, but a deter mination to defend your own rights, to maintain and to hand down to your children what you have received from your fathers, and to afford convincing proof to the world that, even amidst those pursuits of peace which have raised this country to so re markable an elevation, you still are prepared to remember in ease of need what has made your fathers famous, that the heart of England still beats within your bosoms, and that you intend that she shall never derogate as from the other fruits so from the martial fame and the heroic bravery of her former years. (Loud cheering, amidst which the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat.) Lord GROSVENOR, M.P., responded to the toast, and several other toasts followed. The dinner was followed by a volunteer ball, held in the same room, commencing at 8 o'clock. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. THE LANCASHIRE COUNTY RIFLE MEETING.
