The Proprietor feels he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist ing hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the Kingdom.

WIND, South -Easterly light, with mild weather. The wind changed in the night, with some rain, which now continues very slightly. A great man has passed from amongst us. The glorious memory of a true hero is now all that remains to remind his countrymen of one of whom they were justly proud, and on whose unquestion able skill, unflinching courage, and tried expe rience they might place implicit reliance in any emergency. Lord LYONS expired at Arundel Castle, after a brief illness. jle is sincerely mourned, not only by his friends and relatives, but by the entire community. The mantle of NELSON had descended on his shoulders, and his death is regarded as a national calamity of no ordinary magnitude. _ From ten years of age he had 'been actively engaged in the duties of his profession. There were many opportunities afforded of distinguishing himself in these stirring times, and young LYONS speedily acquired the reputation of being a trust worthy officer, who faithfully and efficiently dis charged the duties, however arduous they might be, with which he was entrusted. Like his great prototype he regarded no numerical superiority too great to be encountered. He relied on the un flinching pluck and daring hardihood of the gallant tars by whom he was accompanied, every one of whom would have encountered any risk, however . desperate, in which the officer whom they loved and respected participated. There is much in ac quiring the affections of such persons. It is the path to distinction ; for however brave or skilful may be the officer, he can achieve but little • or nothing, unless he is supported by the hearts as well as the hands of his followers. Lord LYONS possessed that happy fortune. There was no one with whom be came in contact who did not look on him with affectionate esteem. It was by this ex- traordinary influence that he succeeded in capturing Fort Marrack, defended by 5 , 1 guns, 180 soldiers, • and two boats crews of sailors. Lord Doss had but thirty-five men with him but they were of the right stuff—true hearts of oak, and with them he accom plished a feat which was justly declared to be " beyond all comment." This was one only of many brilliant exploits, but it stamped the character of the young officer by whom it was accomplished, and. who consequently obtained the rank of post-captain in 1814, wken he was but twenty•four years of age. "The piping times of peace" reduced the dis tinguished sailor to a state of inaction. He remained unemployed until 1828, when he was appointed to the command of the Blonde, 46, in which he parti- cipated in the blockade of Navarino, and the re duction of the Castle of Morea. He was more engaged in escorting ambassadors or other great personages from place to place, and he thus, probably acquired the taste for diplomacy which he subseqneutly had ample opportunities for gra tifying. Shortly after the frigate he commanded was paid off. He was, in 1835, appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Athens, in which he remained until 1849, when he was sent to the Swiss Confederation, and from thence to Stockholm, where he remained until November, 1853 when he was appointed second in command of the' Mediterranean fleet, war being then imminent, and the Government of the day rejoicing at being enabled to secure the services of one whose very name was a tower of strength. It is almost a work of supererogatio n to detai , his brilliant exploit s in the Euxinc, where he nobly won his Peerage—the only one of our com manders, by land or water, to whom his country men could point with just He planned and superintended the expediti on Pride. to the Crimea, and the debarkation at BuPatoria. At Alma he brought his great guns to bear on the left Hank of the Russians, and thus contributed greatly to the triumphant results of that memo rable day. Afterwards, at the " opening of the ball" at Sebastopol, he placed his ship in the fore most position, and if others had acted in like man ner, it is by no means impossible that the Russian stronghold might have been more speedily reduced, and that our allies would not have obtained the " lion's share" of the glory. But, perhaps, the greatest service that he rendered to his country was one that has hitherto bet mn scarcely hinted at. It appears nut Lord RA.GLAN had been so far misled as to have resolved on abandonding Balaklava, believing fir: t, after the capture of the forts, from which the 'Turks so expeditiously retreated, it could no longer be bene ficially occupied. The then Sir ED3II7YD LYONS only heardjof this determination at the eleventh hour, when he received instructions to embark as many guns as possible, the intention being that the remainder and the village should be suffered to fall into the hands of the Russians. On his own re sponsibility—for, like NELSON, he possessed moral as well as physical courage—he delayed the execution of the order until he had an opportunity of remonstrating with Lord RAGLAN, and pointing out the fatal consequences that must inevitably re sult from such a course. Fortunately, his saga cious counsels were attended to, and the memory of Lord RAGLAN was saved from that which would ever after have affixed the brand of incapacity on his military reputation. As we have stated, Lord LYONS' was the only peerage gained in either branch of the ser vice, from the campaign in the Crimea. The community was satisfied that the distinction was fully earned, and, moreover, that no one else had cause of complaint in not achieving a position amongst the hereditary legislators. He did his work well, was a true-hearted British sailor, and as such was valued and respected by his compatriots. In any difficulty he would have been selected by the nation to defend its honour and interests; but although he is removed, others remain who will show themselves worthy successors. Peace to his honoured remains —the name of " Lord LYONS" will long remain enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen, as one of " the bravest of the brave," of those cherished sons who have earned their distinctions, and whom BRITANNIA delighted to honour. A few more suggestions in the matter of reform, for the benefit of her MAJESTY'S Ministers ! This time, however, neither from honourable nor right honourable gentlemen—but from honest working men, who, perhaps, in their secret hearts aspire to be such. Particularly now that the last session of Parliament has done away with one obstacle at least to the realisation of any daring ambition of the kind—namely, of course, by the abolition of the Property Qualification. Recollecting that thus one of the six points of the Charter has so very recently triumphed, the champions of the old cause are not unnaturally taking heart again for its more earnest advocacy. Pity poor FEARGUS O'CONNOR went mad and died in a lunatic asylum so lamentably. Had he but lived till now, and, in every sense of the phrase, kept his wits about him—hbre was opportunity. How says BRUTUS in the tragedy ? The familiar words ring home surely to the hearts—starts ready to the lips of each champion of Chartism : " There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune ; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows; and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures."—Juurs eff,'SAR, A. iv. s. 3. So evidentlythink our good friends (redivivus) sonle of those enthusiastic Chartists, who assembled in a great open-air reform meeting on Monday afternoon, in Smithfield. Nay, some among them were ready enough to cry out, if not in the words, distinctly enough in the tone of Cassius, immediately after wards—words, the closing phrase of which having reference, by a well-known quotation to the House of Commons, figure conspicuously in the biography of the right hon. gentleman, its ptesent leader : " Then with your will go on ; we will along Ourselves, and meet them at Philippi." That is surely the significance, or it has . none, of the assemblage alluded to, the gathering of the clans of political discontent on Monday, in the disused space of —in cockney phrase—Sniffle. It can hardly be wondered at, this open-air meeting about reform in Smithfield. The fifth point of the Charter gained in the Parliamentary session of 1858—another comprehensive Parliamentary Reform Bill being promised on all hands for the ensuing session of 1859—n0 wonder that the Chartists emerge again into the light of day, and speak out boldly and fearlessly for the five other points, not of the. Magna, but we suppose we may call it the maxima Charta. Gained, the abolition of the Property Qualification, there remain now to be fought for Ist, Universal Suffrage ; 2d, Vote by Ballot ; 3d, Paid Representatives ; 4th, Equal Electoral Dis tricts ; and, sth, Annual Parliaments. That is what we may term fairly—each in turn—coming to the " point." The only difference, now-a-days, in Chartism is the first point of all—designated twenty years ago, on the first rise of the cause in 1838, Universal Suffrage, has come to be re-chris tened, in 1858, Manhood Suffrage. The popular aim, in both instances, being now, as well as then, according to the expresion accepted a s valid by the Tory annalist, Sir ARCIIIBALD ALISON—to have " a throne surrounded by republican institu tions." Honourable gentlemen and right honourable gentlemen from the House of Commons, Tribunes of the People and ex-Ministers—nay, even for that matter, his Civic Majesty, the Lord MAYOR, and what Mr. TIIACKERAY has facetiously spoken of in Vanity Fair, with a due regard to the presumed na tional appetite for flunkeyism and tuft-hunting, as " noble noblemen"—these and others have expressed their opinions pretty plainly of late in regard to the paramount question of all just now to the political world—that of Parliamentary Reform— why not, then, a word or two upon the like subject from some of the more intelligent members of the working classes themselves ? Hence the meeting of Monday at Smithfield—a meeting at which it is especially noticeable that one of the ablest of the speakers alluded, amidst derisive laughter, to the recently expressed opinions of Mr. BRIGHT upon Reform as unmistakeably Brummagem ! There is one circumstance that ought to be a source of some satisfaction to these shrewd, logical, hard-headed Chartist tailors and shoemakers decorative painters and engineers' machinists, that their wants and wishes, their hopes and fears, have long ago been perfectly well understood by two of the principal members of Lord DERBY'S Conserva tive but reforming Administration. Otherwise we should certainly never have heard of SPROT the Tinker in Sir EDWARD LYTTON'S My Novel, or of a whole swarm of Radical personages described in the Sybil of the Chancellor of her MAJESTY'S Exchequer. Altogether, in regard to the great question of reform—among the Lords and the Com mons, in Parliament and out of Parliament, among Ministers, no less than among the outer multitude— the rallying cry might most aptly be the one audi ble in the streets of Paris during the Revolution of February—" This time let there be no mistake." Above all, we wan t no party j o b— ne i t h er a Whi g nor a Tory compromise. Sir John Ratcliffe, Mayor of Birmingham, Mr. Alderman Phillips, and Thomas Standbridge, Esq., Town Clerk of Birmingham, transacted business at the Home office this day. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Chelmsford have returned to town from visiting her Majesty at Windsor Castle. THE SUN, LO ANTI-OPIUM ASSOCIATION. A deputation from this association, consisting of the chairman and secretary, with the Rev. W. Arthur, secretary of the Wesleyan Missionary So ciety, Mr. Huddleston Stokes, of the Church Mis sionary Society, Dr. Hodgkin, and others, waited on Lord Stanley yesterday, at the India-house, to present a memorial, praying the government to prohibit the cultivation of opium in India, and also its transit through British territory from the inde pendant states of India. Lord STANLEY listened to the memorial with the utmost attention, and at once expressed his full appreciation of the philanthropic motives .of the memorialists, but went on to state that, as a political question, it was one surrounded with diffi culties. He admitted the deleterious effects of opium, and coincided with what the memorialists said on that branch of their subject ; but he adduced the deleterious effects of the use of spirituous liquors as a somewhat analogous case, and yet no government of this country would consent to pro hibit their production ; heavy duties were imposed on them, and that was all that legislation Iliad yet accomplished. He could not recommend the pro hibition of the cultivation of opium; but other courses seemed to require consideration ; the trade might be thrown completely open, but then the evil would remain, and probably even -be greatly increased, and the present revenue would be lost without any equivalent advantage being obtained. Two other modes of dealing with the subject had been considered—the imposition of a heavy export duty, and of an excise duty at the place of produc tion ; but he would not pledge himself, at present, to either course. One thing his lordship said he was prepared to promise, that no instruction should be given to British men-of-war to support merchants in smuggling operations, that whatever ventures merchants might make in the smuggling of opium should be entirely at their own risk, and should receive no countenance or support whatever from Government. His lordship thought that the sentiments of the Chinese government, as regards their prohibition of opium, were somewhat misunderstood by the memorialists; he believed that opium was openly sold in every town in China without the government taking any decided steps to suppress the traffic, thus inducing a suspicion of the sincerity of the Chinese protests on this head. His lordship concluded by again expressing his sympathy with the present and similar philan thropic objects, and thought that the zeal with which such objects were now prosecuted was a distinguishing feature of the age. Dr. Hodgkin and Mr. Stokes made a few obser vations in support of the prayer of the petition, and the deputation withdrew. BELFAST LINEN TRADE CIRCULAR. (From the Belfast Mercantile Journal.) BELFAST, Nov. 22.-Flaxseed-No further ar rivals last week. Riga advices report 40,000 bar rels shipped and in course of shipment for Ireland up to 12th inst. ; navigation still open. Flax.-The supply continues good at all the country markets last week, but scarcity of water prevents the scutch mills from sending out their usual quantity of milled ; prices continue to creep up. At Cootehill, Ballibay, and Monaghan, 100 to 110 tons appeared, which met a brisk sale at advancing rates, say milled Bs. 9d. to 135., hand scutched 7s. 6d. to 9s. 6d. per stone of 161-Ibs. At Armagh, on Tuesday, 40 to 50 tons, also quickly taken at Bs. 9d. to 155., and 7s. 6d. to 9s. 3d. for milled and hand-scutched respectively, per stone of 1641b5. At Tandragee, on Wednesday, about 40 to 50 tons, which met a good demand, at prices rano-ing from Bs. 9d. to 15s. per stone of 1611bs. In Cookstown, on Saturday, about 50 tons, viz., 30 milled, and 20 hand-scutched, which realised 9s. to 12s. 6d. for the former, and 7s. 6d. to 9s. 4d. for the latter, per stone of 1611bs. In the Northern districts, the quantity forward at the several mill scutched markets, which include Derry, Strabane, Newtownlimavady, and Letterkenny amounted to about 120 to 130 tons; prices ranging from 675. 6d. to 755., up to 90s. for very fine qualities, per cwt. of 1241b5. In foreign flax little doing. Sales are reported of 20 tons, 12 heads Narva, at £56, four months ; 9 heads hold for £4B, four months. Yarn.-At the reduction of 14d. per bundle made by some spinners, as noticed last week, the demand has increased for linen yarns. Home con sumption has been fair. Stocks in first hands are reduced, and spinners seem determined not to make any further concessions. Tow yarns are very firm, and in more active demand. Brown Linens in Country Markets.—ln Armagh, on Tuesday, lawns for dyeing and for hollands un altered ; rough browns dull of sale at the prices of the previous market. In Lurgan the supply of diapers was very small for this .season, yet large enough for the demand, and prices, in. serge cases were rather easier. The same remailts apply to lawns. In Ballymena, on Saturday, the supply of goods was moderate, and, prices were unaltered. Hand-loom Linens, with manufacturers continue as reported last week. Power-loom Linens. — Drills unaltered. In heavy linens little doing, owing to the firmness of holders ; stocks are kept low, however, by old orders. Light linens for bleaching quiet, but firm ; stocks moderate. In printing lawns more doing. Cambric handkerchiefs working to order ; prices firm. Roughs are firm ; stocks small, and demand good. Unions inanimate. White Linens dull, as is usual at this season ; tone healthy. Bleachers are preparing for their sprinc , trade. Advices from New York note a steady improvement. LINES, BY AN OLD PUPIL, ON THE FUNERAL OF THE DEAN OF ELY. A phoenix' fate no good man seeks in vain, He dies :—but only sure to rise again. His earthly mourners bear the sacred urn, With hopes for heaven as their lot in turn. Farewell to one who shared our dearest love, His loss is ours : his gain is God above. Of active life, in steadfast wisdom spent, His own Cathedral is the monument. JAMES BROGDEN. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 21.

Several toasts were proposed, and early in the afternoon the young couple left town for the Continent. lit is rumoured, and we have reason to believe not without foundation, that his Excellency Count Bern storff will, before long, quit his post as Minister of the Court of Berlin. The Prussian Ministers at Park and Vienna are, it is said, also to be superseded. Count liarolyi has left Chandos-house for Vienna, and is about to assume a higher diplomatic post.

" Several foreign journals," says the Debuts " a few days ago noticed a speech of the King of Sardinia to his troops, which was of a nature to make it appear that the peace of Europe was uncertain. We have received no con firmation of this news, which has produced a considerable sensation in Paris, and we are not disposed to accept it as correct, for, if such important words had been pronounced, far from being questioned, they would, it is pro bable, have already made the tour of Europe."

A coi4espondent of Tripoli writes, Oct. 28—" A paragraph appeared in the Messenger of Oct. 6 which did great injustice (unintentional, of course) to Osman Pacha, late Governor-General of this regency. After noticing the appointment of Izzet Pacha as Governor of Tripoli, to replace Osman Pacha, who goes in the same capacity to Scopia, the paragraph observes : ' The latter by this change undergoes a kind of disgrace, for having shown a degree of weakness at the time of the revolt of the troops, by which the security of the place was .nearly compromised.' This is en tirely erroneous. Osman Pacha is an old man, and has been long desirous of returning to his na tive place,in the vicinity of Scopia, where he is pos sessed of considerable estates. He was recalled from Tripoli at his own repeated request, and the firman making the change above indicated bears date at Constantinople, the 16th of September, the revolt having. occurred here on the 15th. It is clear, thereforey that there could not have been any connection between the two events. I must add, in simple justice, that, so far from having shown weakness on the occasion referred to, the town was indebted for its security in that anxious moment to the admirable courage and con duct of the pacha, who with the most efficient aid of Ali Couta Bey, the colonel of an Albanian regiment, suppressed the insurrection, after the general' commanding-in-chief had been ignomini ously stripped of his sword, and subjected to 'other gross personal , indignities by his mutinous troops. The fact that two hundred of the principal culprits were submitted to •the bastinado in presence of the whole garrison, only three days after the re volt, was considered by mosttizpersons here as showing temerity rather than weakness. The suc cess of the measure, ho wever, in re-establishing military discipline after it had received so serious a shock, must be 'accepted as the best evidence of the sound discretion that dictated it." PRUSSIA. The Prince of Wales arrived at Berlin the even ing before last, accompanied by Colonel It. Bruce and Major Teesdale, to be present at the celebration of the nineteenth birthday of Princess Frederick William. His Royal Highness will remain about three weeks at the Court. The Prince and Prin cess the next day took possession of their new palace, in the chapel of Which Divine service was performed in presence of the Royal family, and a grand breakfast was afterwards given, to which Lord Bloomfield, who has returned after an absence of five months, received an invitation. We have now the official returns of the poll at the election in the first instance (Urwahl) of the 12th of November for Berlin : No. of Electors. No. Polled. First Class.... 2,582 .... 1,997 Second Class 9,625 .... 5,781 Third Class .. 66,84.5 .... 26,380 Total .... 78,252 .... 34,158 This is exclusive of the military, who vote by themselves. In the provinces the proportion of those'who polled to the total number of electors is very much smaller. In many country districts hardly a sixth or even an eighth part of the quali fied elertors appeared at the poll. The classifica tion system has led in various places to almost ludicrous consequences. In one district, where the first class was composed of two Wahlmanner, they elected each other. In another instance, one elec tor found himself the sole constituent in Class 1, and elected himself and his son. In the third class incredible stories are told of the ignorance of the voters, e.g., the Prince Regent has been voted for as Walhmann in several districts ; and one elector, by way. of showing his steady attachment to the Throne, nominated the King, AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter says :—" The budget of the navy, which prior to 1848 did not exceed a million and a half of florins, has now been increased to five millions (12,500,000 fr.). The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian while at Trieste informed the naval authorities of the fact. This augmentation has been caused by the building of several new vessels of war and the works going on in the ports of Muggia and Pola." SPAIN. Madrid journals and letters of the 20th have arrived. The' Gazette contains a Royal ()icier granting Colonel del Olmo permission to make a survey for' the construction of a tramway which is to extend from Gandia to Denia, in the province of Alicante. According to the reso lution definitely taken in the council of ministers, and pursuant to some indication of the wishes of the supporters of the ministers in the Senate, the Queen has . been pleased to appoint as members of the bureau of the Senate the following senators : President, , the Marshal Concha, Marquis of. Douro; first vice-president, the Duke of Veragua ; second, Sen9r. Luziaraga ; third, General Soria; fourth, the Marquis of Someruelos. The Diike of Veragua, the first vice-president, has dis charged similar duties, and with much discretion, in several legislatures. Luziaraga is one of the most important members of the Senate, and a goad lawyer. The governor of the province of Valencia, whose attention has been called to the neglected state of the valuable woods and forests in that fer tile portion of the kingdom, has ordered them to be surveyed, and has published some edicts with a view of some important improvement in their ad ministration. PORTUGAL. The Portuguese journals state that, on the 15th inst., the deputy Carveiho moved for copies of the correspondence with European Governments with reference to the affair of the slave ship the Charles- Georges. The Finance Minister replied that the Government had resolved on submitting all the papers relative to this subject to the Chambers, but as they were very numerous, and the greater part of them either in English or French, they would require some time to translate. They will all be printed and, distributed to the members of the Chambers, THE LATE LORD LYONS. A good Englishman and a brilliant seaman now lies still in death at Arundel Castle. Lord Lyons died there, after a short illness, yesterday. It was but the other day, after his return from the Medi terranean,:that he was summoned to command the squadron of honour which escorted her Majesty to Cherbourg. It was fit that the most illustrious admiral in the service should be selected for this duty—the last of a public nature which he was to fulfil. It was impossible even to look, at Lord Lyons without being interested in him—he was so like Nelson, the hero whom more than all others we regard with a sort of personal attachment. He had the same features, the same complexion, the same profnsion of grey inclining to white hair, the same eager and half melancholy 'look. No one could see him without being struck with this re semblance. Not only in appearance, but also in reality there was so me thi ng of. Nelson in. Lord Lyons. He h a d th e same devotion to his pro fession ; he had the same activity in duty ; he had the same free and frank _bearing; he had the same art of winning the affection of asso ciates and subordinates alike ; he inspired a similar confidence in all with whom he came in contact. If we say that he had not the in fallible genius. of our greatest naval hero, it 'is but fair to ad i d that he had not the opportunities which Nelson enjoyed of exhibiting the highest qualities of a commander, that, he was always equal to the oc casion, that his services in the Black Sea were'not only great—they were much greater than the public generally suppose, and entitled him alone of all the chiefs in the late war to the honours of a peerage. Lord,Lyons had but just completed his.6Bth year when he died. He was born on the 21st November, 1790, at White Hayes, Burton, near Christchurch, Hants, from which place he took his title—Baron Lyons, of Christchurch. He was the second son of John Lyons, Esq., of Lyons, in Antigua, an d o f St. ' Austen 's-house Lymington, Hants, whose family seems to have been connected .for some time with Antigua, and previously with the county of Cork. Young Edmund was sent at a very early age to Hyde Abbey School, near Winchester, then under the care of Dr. Richards. Canning and Gaisford had been there before him, and Wolfe, the author of the well-known lines on the burial of Sir John Moore, was there after him. But probably Edmund Lyons derived but little from this school education, since he entered the Navy as a volun teer of the first class in June, 1801, when he was but ten and a-half y ears old. These were the days of Nelson and glory, when the British Navy could boast of more than 800 vessels, when the ships of the line were more than 200 in number, when our flag was to be found on every sea, and when we were more than a match for the combined navies of all the world. The little middy of 11 was first sent on board the Royal Charlotte yacht, from which he was transferred in the following year to the Maidstone frigate, and then again to the Active, 38. After seeing some service in the Mediterranean, accompanying Sir John Duckworth's expedition to the Dardanelles, and assisting at the demolition of the redoubt on Point Pesquies, Lyons returned to England in 1807. In the meantime the battle of Trafalgar had been fought, Britain.was now with out a rival on the sea, and there was little left for our sailors to do but to blockade and make prizes, There were some things to be done, however, that required vigour, if not genius, and that would bring promotion, if not glory. Towards the end. of 1807, therefore, being then barely 17, we find Edmund Lyons on board the Monmouth, 64, on his way to the East Indies, where he remained for the next five years, and where he attained the rank of lieutenant. In the Indian seas he gained con siderable distinction. When the island of Banda Neira was taken, in 1810, he obtained honourable mention as among the first to scale the castle of Belgica ; and it was for his share' in this exploit that he was immediately afterwards appointed flag lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Drury. But his most important service was the storming of -Fort Mar rack. An expedition had been planned for the conquest of Java, and Mr. - Lyons had, while the preparations for this ev.ent,were as yet incom plete, being appointed to a station in the Sunda Strait, where he was to cruise and procure all the information he could regarding the position and .force of the enemy. It was while thus engaged that, with characteristic ardour, he attacked at night, with not more than 35 men, Fort Marrack, defended, as it was, by 54 guns, by 800 soldiers, and by the crews of two boats. He took it with scarcely any loss, and obtained from his captain, who had not counted on such a brilliant success, the declaration that his conduct was beymid all comment. His reward followed when shortly after wards he returned home in ill-health. He was promoted to -the command of the Rinaldo, 10, in which vessel he formed one of the squadron which escorted Louis XVIII. to France, and the Allied Sovereigns to England. Although he obtained post rank in 1814, the ces sation of the war deprived him of active employ ment until 1828, when he received the command of the Blonde, 46, in which he assisted at the blockade of Navarino, and superintended the naval expedi tion sent to co-operate with the French in the re duction of the Castle of Morea, the last remnant of the Ottoman power in the Peloponnesus. This appears to have been the only important service which he rendered in those days. Afterwards we find him cruising about the Mediterranean, now, conveying an ambassador from one port to another, now conducting a King to Greece, and on one cele brated occasion entering the Black Sea in the first British man-of-war that had ever passed the Bos phorus, and actually visiting the scene of his future labours---Sebastopol. In 1835 his ship was paid - Off, and Captain : Lyons, who had in the meantime re ceived the honour of knighthood, and the insignia of several Orders, exchanged the naval for the diplomatic profession. He was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Athens, which post he filled from 1835' until 1849. In 1849 he was appointed British Minister to the Swiss Confedera- Aion—a position which he occupied until 1851, when he was sent to Stockholm in a similar capacity. There he remained until in November, 1853, war being then imminent, he was appointed second in command of the Mediterranean fleet. Upon the duties of this command he entered with the experi ence of a diplomatist who had enjoyed large oppor tunities of studying the Greek and Turkish ques tions, as well as that of a sailor who was perfectly acquainted with the seas in which he was to act, and he had also received in the insignia of the Order of St. Louis of France an acknowledgment of the cordiality with which he had co-operated with our French allies. If at first only second in command, Sir Edmund Lyons was from the first the ruling spirit of the British fleet, and to him we owe, in an incalculable degree, the success which attendrd our. arms. an the shores of the Euxine. He it was who organized and conducted the expedition to the Crimea, pre pared the means of landing, and superintended all so closely that, " in his eagerness, he left but six inches between the keel of his noble ship and the ground below it." Not only in this matter of the transport of the troops, but also in every sub sequent stage of the expedition, Sir Edmund Lyons gave: the most valuable assistance to Lord Raglan and his successors. How at the battle of the Alma he supported the French army by bringing the duns of his ship to bear on the left flank of the Russians, and what a conspicuous part he took with the Agamemnon on the first bombardment of Sebas topol, are incidents fresh in the recollection of all. But he had more to, do in the way of advice and of encouragement than the public ever heard of. Day after day he might have been seen on his grey pony hovering about the English lines--on the heights of Sebastopol ; he was present at Balak lava and he was present at Inkerman. It was thus thatiha,ving conveyed our soldiers to the Crimea he saved them from being compelled to leave it— baffled, if not vanquished. A day or two after the battle of Balaklava Sir Edmund Lyons, on landing, learnt to his astonishment that orders had been issued to the Naval Brigade to embark as many guns to b e a s evacuatedpossible atduring night,—of g h tof the ur for se Balaklava, surrendering to the enemy the greate r p ort i on of the guns. On his own responsibility the Admiral at once put a stop to the execution of this order, and went in search of Lord R ag l an, who, it appears,' had come to the resolution o f a b andoning Balaklava in conse quence of the opinion expressed by the engineers that after the loss of the redoubts in our rear, lately held by th e T ur k s, we ought to concentrate our strength on theplateau. Taking Lord Raglan aside, Sir Edmund Lyons strongly spposed these views ; he pointed out the advanced position in the valley in the front of which these redoubts were situated had been originally occupied, in accordance with the advice of those very officers, and in opposition to that of Si r Ed mun d, w h o h a d suggested at the time that they were covering too much ; he argued that, as the engineers had been mistaken once, they might be wrong again; and he clinched his argu ment by saying that, whatever might be the value of his opinion in such a case, he was, at all events, entitled to pronounce an opinion to to the bola ficiency of Kamiesch as a harbour for the allied. armies ; that this abandonment of Balaklava meant the evacuation of the Crimea in a week. After some conversation, Lord Raglan said, " Well you were right before, and this time I will act upon your advice." Sir Edmund obtained leave to countermand the orders which had been issued; Balaklava was maintained as our base of opera tions and the army was saved from what might have proved an inglorious defeat, if not a t e riible, disaster. This, as we have said, was perhaps the most important of all the services rendered by the Admiral, and he well deserved the peerage which it earned for him. We have only further to state that in 1814 Lord Lyons married Augusta, second daughter of C a pt. Josias Rogers, R.N., and that by this lady he had two sons and two daughters. Of the daughters, one is now Duchess of Norfolk ; the other Is - Baroness de Wurtsburg. The eldest son is at present Minis ter Plenipotentiary to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The younger was that Captain Mowbray. Ly ons , of the Miranda, who in the .late war died so much lamented at Therapia.— Times. (From the West Sussex Gazette.) Admiral Lord Lyonsis no more. He expired Arundel Castle at eight o'clock on Tuesday night' Nov. 23. Some months ago the gallant admiral was suffering from indisposition, and was induced by his amiable daughter (the Duchess of Norfolk) to visit Arundel Castle for tho benefit of his health. It was then seen that he was suffering more acutely than was supposed, and we believe the Ducheas (who is the only member of his family residing io England) persuaded her gallant father to rernaio at Arundel Castle, where he might have that atten tion which filial affection alone could bestolf• When Admiral Lyons was summoned •by her Ma' jesty to command the squadron which• visited Cher bourgle was then in a bad state of health, but his love for the Queen, added to his desire to carry out his duties as Commander-in-Chief, predominated' and he accompanied her Majesty on that visit- Since his return his health has been gradually declining. For some time, however, he was enabled to take carriage drives, accompanied by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, or some member of the family' but he Ultimately became too weak to be removed from his room, He also suffered from tic doloreux; but the cause of his disease was general debility. As he grew weaker it was thought necessary W send for his family; and about six weeks since Mr- Lyons ' his only son, arrived, as did also his laugh' ter, the Baroness von Wurtzburg, with her eldest, son ' who remained at the castle up to the time el his death. Admiral Lyons was born at Burton, near Christ' church, in Hants, in 1790, and consequently hae, just compl e t e d hi s 68th y ear . H e was th e se con d son of John Lyons, Esq., of Lymington, who was I major in the Ch r i s t c h urc h Volunteers. He married in 1814 Auguste, second daughter of the late Capt. Josias Rogers, R.N., by whom he had two dough' ters—Anna Theresa Bickerton, married Dec. 24th , 1839, to Baron Philip von Wurtzburg, and Auguste Mary Minna Catherine, married June 19, 1839, to the present Duke ofNoriolk. He had two sons,,Richd . P. Bickerton, attache of Florence and entresident, at Rome. His youngest son w as C a pt. Edmun d Moubray Lyons, who was killed before Sebastopol. The public life of Admiral Lyons possesses con' siderable interest. After completing his educatien at Westminster he entered the Royal Navy at the early age of 11 years, first serving on board the Royal Charlotte, from which he removed in the following year, and joined the Maidstone. In 180' he was serving on board the Active, 38, during the passage of the Dardanelles by Sir John Duckworth , and was engaged in the successful assault upon the redoubt of Point Pesquies, on the Asiatic shore. II! 1809 he was lieutenant of the Barracouta brig; and it was in the next year he achieved his first gm's! success. He was one of the foremost in the eve' lade of the Castle of Belgica. This was acconr plished during the raging of a terrific storm. this exploit Mr. Lyons displayed that skill and boldness which stampedhim as a true British sailor —for -the navigation was intricate and the garriso n strong. The n ews o f thi s littl e v i c t ory was receive" gladly in England, and scarcely- had our her ° reached his twentieth year, ere Admiral Drury lir pointed him as his flag-lieutenant on board th e Minden, 74. Within a twelvemonth after this ar k pointment he sailed on the coast of Jav a , t o aw ay the arrival of an expedition then fitting out in Indi a for the reduction of that island. Whilst lying Java, Mr. Lyons received some prisoners, [moot them being an intelligent person with whom he n into conversation ; from him he learnt that the Mit e ; expected no attack during the monsoon. Mr. Ly o .l immediately saw the opportunity for action, and wi th a boldness which excited astonishment and adoir ir tion, he put o ff two boats at 'midnight with tb e i ,k crews, consisting of 35 officers anti men to sttn ii - , Fort Marrack, of 54 guns. It is said' that as t h e boats approached the moon peeped out from a cloud, and revealed the sentinels ready to Ch ile. lenge. All hope of surprise was gone, but it was not a moment for deliberation, find he boldly push e f on in the face of the enemy. There was a heavy su!_ on at the time ; but he succeeded in landing his litt le force beneath the embrasures, and carried the low battery. There was yet a good tough piece of woo . _ set out, for on reaching the hill he -found no l es s than 400 soldiers facing him. " I have 400 met and shall give no quarter," he exclaimed ; his me n . charged, and away went the enemy helte r-skelte r. The fort was captured ; he succeeded in holding it' and on the dawn of day the British ensign wa s floating on the walls. Pursuing his career with th e same s pi r it, we Ana him appointed commander of the Renaldo, in 1 812 ' in which vessel he escorted Louis XVIII. to Franc e ' and the allied Sovereigns to England, besides a fford' ing a passage to Mr. Planta, the bearer of th e treaty of Paris. In 1814 he rec e iv e d p os t • rank' we loss sight of the g allant Skilor for a fe Le years • and in 1828 we find him in command of O f Blonde, 48, engaged in directing tho movements the naval part of an expedition ordered to co- 0 1 3° : rate with the French in the investment of 111 0 r"" Castle, the last hold of the Turks in the Pelope, ly nesus. He again distinguished himself g reat In the 12 nights preceding the surrender he t 0 constantly in the trenches, exposed to a terrific of musketry and great guns. His gallant b e aring and his courtesy to the allies procur e d f or him th e the insignia of the Order of St. Louis of Franc e ' and of a Knight Commander of the Order o f the Redeemer of Greece. Several other important services were perfornlet by the gallant ca pt a i n . I n 1835 h e was knighteut, and nominated K.C.H. In 1840 he was created baronet. From this date to 1849 he was minister plenipotentiary at the Court of Athens. Fre l l 1849 to 1851 at Berne ; and from 1851 to 185 3 n a Stockholm. This latter appointment he resigne d to take the command of the Black Sea fleet ; al l he became commander-in-chief in 1855.
