SERVICES OF THBNEW K.0.8.'5. Our readers will have learnt from our impression on Saturday that her Majesty has been pleased to promote to the honours of the Order of the Bath several of those heroes who have wonfor themselves a name in the suppression of the Indian mutiny. First and foremost stands that of Colonel John Eardley Wilmot Inglis, the gallant defender of Lucknow, .who has been recently advanced to the rank of Ma j or-General in the Army. He is a son of the late Right Rev. Dr. Inglis, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and is married to a daughter of Sir Frederick Thesiger. He entered the army as Ensign in a foo t regiment 101833, served with the 32d Regime nt in Canada during the rebellion of 1837, and was Pre sent at the actions of St. Denis and St. Eustache He took part also in the Punjaub ca mpaign of 1848-49, and was present at the first and second siege operations before Mool tan, including the attack on the enemy's position in front of the ad vanced trenches on the 12th of September, where after the death of Lieutenant -Colonel Pattoun, he succeeded to t he command of the right column of attack. H e commanded the 32d Regi ment at the action of Soorjkooned, and he was also present at the storm and capture of the city and surrender of the fortress of Mooltan, the surrender of the fort and garrison of Cheinote, and the battle of Goojerat, for which service he received the brevet rank of Lieut.-Colonel, together with a medal and clasps. Capt. Wm. Peel, R.N. (who, we observe, is ap pointed also a naval Aide-de-camp to her Majesty for his services with the Naval Brigade in India), is the third son of the late Right Hon. Sir Robt. Peel, and brother of the present baronet and of the Right Hon. Frederick Peel, late Secretary-at- War. He is quite a young man, having been born in 1824, and is unmarried. He has seen active service, however, on more than one station, and has rends red such efficient service in India that no one will grudge him hie well-earned honours. Colonel James Hope Grant, of whose successes at the head of his column we have lately heard so much, entered the army as Cornet in 1826 ; he acted as Brigade-Major to the late Lord Saltoun in China, and was present at the assault and cap ture of Chin-Kiang-Foe and at the landing before Nankin. He served with the 9th Lancers at the battle pf Sobraon in 1846, and bears the medal for that engagement, and he commanded that regiment during the greater part of the Punjaub campaign of 1848-9, including the passage of the Chenab and the battles of Ramnuggur and Chilianwallah ; he also tookan active part in the battle of Goojerat, and has the medal and clasps for his services. His comehission- as Lieut. eColortel dates from 1850. Col. Edward Lugard, of the 29th Regiment of ' Foot, entered the army in 1828 ; he served as a M aior throughout the - eampaign of 1842 in Affgan istan under General Polio*, and was present in. the .actions of Idazeena, .Tezeen, and Jugdulluck the occupation of Cabool, and the different engage: mentsJeading to it, for which hareceived a medal. He served throughout the campaign on the Sutlej, for which he also received a medal ; he served as Deputy 'Assistant Adjutant-General to Sir Harry Smitlratthe4eattles of Moodkee and Ferozeshah, • where- he-was wounded, and at Sobraon. He served as Adjutant-General of her Majesty's forcesiii India from the battle of Sobraon at .the end Of _the campaign, 'when he was appointed Assistant . .Adjutant General to Her Majesty's toren.= India. , He again officiated as Adjutant ;General .throughout the Punjab camPaign in 1848-9, and watt present at the passage of the Chenab , and the battles ~of ,Chilianwallah and Goojerat , for which he received a medal and clasps.

What do we En Jishmen most delight to honour Worth, says the patriot, solid integrity, that type of character which makes the especial greatness and security of.our native land. The noblest work of God is an indigenous product of these isles, like our oaks and our strong-limbed youths, and we are, above all things, proud of the race. Very true ; honest, benevolent, self-denying men are in great vogue among us, so much so that the gentleman who would speculate commercially on the credulity of the world often finds it good policy to put a sober, half-clerical attire, and to be great in the matter of churches and hospitals, martyr-converts from Popery and reclaimed cannibals from the South Seas. Wealth, would the sneering foreigner - say, is the chief object of British adoration. English alliances are only questions of cotton, sugar, and - tallow, and her private life is chiefly influenced by worship of the great dealers in these staples, or their children, who have turned them into well tilled acres or Consols ; and there is much of truth in this also. But within the last few months the answer of most persons would probably have been that we honour, and duly honour, brave men who I have lost or risked their lives for their country above ' all other persons or things. For four years now we have been incessantly fighting. The country was roused from an easy sleep of prosperity, which had lasted 40 years, by the calamities which befell a nobly army. The energy, the liberality, the devotion by which all misfortunes wet e repaired, and a larger force than ever landed on the Crimean shores, will long be remembered in history. The moral effect we are accustomed to consider most happy, and to cite as a proof that out of evil comes good. The sudden plunge into the cold bath of adversity braced the nerves of the nation, relaxed by ease and money-making or morbid intellectual speculation. The community has become sensibly more patriotic, and the Persian War and the Canton episode hardly gave it occupation in the interval between the peace with the Ozer and the outbreak in India. Since the beginning of these terrible trials, what heart has not beat high, what eye has not fired with enthusiasm, for the valour of brave men ? The cypress has been so much mingled with the - laurel, so many have fallen under the hand of assassins, or, more fortunately, in open fight— eholera, and fever, and overwork, and long days and nights of watching, have slain so many, that something of a sacred awe is added to the feeling with which we contemplate the exploits of those who survive. The aged veteran and the youth sent but yesterday to join his regiment may be at this moment equally beyond any honours or rewards of ours. When we speak of such a General or such an administrator in India we speak of one whom we only believe to live, and who may never hear that his name has been on the lips of thousands, and selected for chivalrous distinction by the Sovereign herself. But it would seem that there is something still more honoured by England, if England be repre sented by those who have the gift of titles and ap pointments. How, indeed, shall we address our native country—that " riddle, jest, and glory of the world I" Shall we call upon her as the Holy Mother of heroes and of jobbers, the common parent of the eaele that that creeps t o the • soars and the caterpillar it of the temple of fame 1 Shall we f ee l pride in never rescued us from the taunt that liberty has the feet of Engl,aoeligarchy, and that wherever are planted, there go patrician assumptions an. n a are established new official sycophancy, ta nests for all who belong to t!.e governing class at ho there birth or marriage t i :y e b v y y e ear s of lip-service or who have attained to it beyond and adulation ?

Refoline°rns°7l Par liament liament and Reformers out of Parliament, the newspaper press, and the satirical novelists, a n d the orators on education and social science, have all worked, it would seem, in vain. The boatma n who endeavours to row against a swollen stream, and finds himself after an hour's toil abreast of the same clump of trees, or even slowly drifting down- Wards, has not more reason to be discouraged. Let us illustrate the fact. We have to go back no further than the last Gazette. All our readers must have receive d with satisfaction the list cf names selected for the Order of the Bath which we pub lished on Saturday. A *number of officers have been pointed out by their achievements and the admiration of the people as worthy of this much • V - desited honour. Of ad these none has been con sidered to deserve the i'lrct of the three classes. Gekniral Wilson, the conqueror of Delhi, was made • . a ght Commander, so was the brave old Hallock, an i in the last Gazette we have the same ,Sink conferred on General' Inglis, who defended the Lueknow Resideucy in a three months' siege ; 3 reuewed in our time the our eaptaiu-Peel, who ha , expioitg _ a fsi r sidney smith ; on Col onelLugaarmd, who was Chief of the who "liaebitelf &gaged in nearly every Indian c f6f the Page 16 yeare, is Staff in the Persian Expedi tion, and wh o now Adjutant-GenerAl in India ; and also on Colonel Hope Grant, whose brilliant service the other day is fresh in the recollection of all. Only these four , are thought worthy of the second rank. The fol lowing are only allowed the dignity of Companions of the Order :—Admiral Sir Henry Leeke, late Com mander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy ; Colonel Greathed, who marched ha flf-a-dozenrom Del times •hi to Lucknow Colonel and beat the enemy Showers, Colonel Cotton—the so-called Gun- Cotton, of Pesha.wur—Colonel Baird Smith, who, nearly exhausted by sickness, conducted the engi neering operations at Delhi with never failing energy and skill till the place was taken, and many others. Now we come to the announce ment which shows what influences are still powerful in this society of ours. Havelock and Wilson and Inglis are sufficiently rewarded with the K. C. 8., Greathed, and Showers and Baird Smith do not get so much • but we have gazetted to be an Or dinary Member of the Civil Division of the Second Class or Knights Commanders of the said Most Hon. Order, — Colonel the Hon. Charles Beaumont Phipps, C. B. , Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purse. There may be some whom these columns will reach who know not the highly-honoured Phipps even by name, others to whom he is only a mythical being, who is always attending some Royal per sonage or another in the " Court Circular." But we must all now learn to think of him with reverence. We know that in the eyes of authority he is of greater desert than men who have been described in official despatches as evincing singular energy, and skill, and devotion in a war of unexampled difficulty. We must believe in the greatness of "Privy Purse." Like the planet Mercury, he has not been visible to the eye, simply because he has been lost in the effulgence of Royalty. But he possesses a sensible magnitude which can be mea sured by the superior intellect of the official world. Indeed, he comes of a most extraordinary and gifted family, a family whose genius is so exquisite and recondite that it entirely escapes the observation of the vulgar, but yet qualifies the race of Phipps for the highest and most difficult posts. It is thought by some that, since we have no mission at Rome, the Envoy at Florence should be an able and ener getic diplomatist, and that an infirm old Peer might well give place to one who could and would take a part in the complex politics of Italy. But the Mar quis of Normanby, the chief of the house of Phipps, is, and we presume will be as long as he chooses, England's representative on the banks of the Arno. Most people who travel and think have also some anxiety about the condition of our North American dependencies, inhabited by aspiritedpopulation, and with some twenty-five millions of Republicans for neighbours. Nova Scotia is an important colony, and Halifax is the finest harbour in the New World. There are in England men who have made colonial governmen t a study, or at least have shown capacity for business at home. But another Phipps in the person of Lord Mulgrave, has been appointed to the office. We must take it on trust that he is the fittest man. Now we have the steady hanger on of the Court elevated to the same honours as Havelock, and to a higher rank than some twenty devoted and heroic soldiers. Truly the authorities are setting up their judg ment rather too much in independence of national opinions and feelings. It is not enough that Lord Clanricarde should have been replaced in the Cabi net, to the astonishment of the country and even of the less scrupulous Continent ; it is not enough that aristocratic favouritism is seating its nominees on the Episcopal Bench, and has even invaded the precincts of the law ; it is not enough that every appointment, both high and low, is grasped at by the poorer members of aristocratic families with a greediness, an indecency, and a success beyond all precedent ; but in this hour of the nation's trial and enthusiasm we are to have elevated above its no blest sons the name of one who is distinguished by nothing but the favour of a Court. Patronage has recently run wild, but we know no worse instance of its exercise than the - present. The " Privy Purse" might at least have waited a few days, and saved himself from contrast with. the names of men who have reconquered for their country the Em pire of the East. run SveN iVIONIDAY EVENING, JANITACRY 2g, 1858. THE CLRCASSIANS. What a pleasant thing it is to dwell in the golden land of fables and to spurn with contemptuous foot the whitey-brown realities of this working world ! Who would not, if he could, keep company with knights and ladies errant, who never gave utter ance to any but the loftiest sentiments and most dignified opinions t For our own part, we can have uo hesitation in saying that it would be well if every human being were to regulate his conduct according to the canons of the purest morality. Let no man be ambitious of power for power's sake. Let there be an end of aggressive wars. Let truth be spoken, and right prevail. Let the dove and the eagle, the lion and the lamb,—Sir Charles Napier and Sir James Graham, Box and Cox,—live together in perfect harmony. Let each nation, nay, let each parish, enjoy its own nationality and its own parochiality as seems best in its own eyes. Let IP, above all things, honour all patriots—since patriotism rightly understood is the sum and expression of all human virtues. Let all this be done, if it be possible—let us do all this, if we can. The difficulty, however, which presents itself is, that the great bulk of mankind will not accept these simple recommendations as valid, or these obvious maxims as truth. Nations and individuals will try and aggrandize themselves at the expense of their fellows. The world is a scene of perpetual combat—of an endless conflict of interests. It is much better if a nation can keep its own shores from aggression, a man his own head from harm. We may regret that it is so, and that it is above our strength to accomplish the task in which the Knight of La. Mancha met with no greater success than we have done ourselves ; but so it is. We are told that in all parts of the world England should step forth as the guardian of the weak, as the redresser of injuries, as the restorer of nationalities. A political faction in one of the Continental nations goes to the wall—the emigres, the fuoruscite, can find no resting-place for their feet but upon the shores of these selfish islands ; they straightway abuse us if we will not give them something more than security for life and the opportunity of maintaining themselves by their own exertions. England, because she is strong, must help them because they are weak. A nation ality is in danger, and England must intervene in its behalf. Unfortunately, they and we are not the only parties to an affair of this kind. In order to do right to any one of them we must, in all probability, undertake a war with Europe singlehanded, or, at least, with no better help than the thrice-discomfited patriots in every country could afford us. 'We have serious doubts as to the result of any such policy even as far as the patriots are concerned—we have the most certain convictions as to the consequences to ourselves. But it is said,— "Oh ! we don't want you to go to war upon our account ; we want the moral support of England's sympathy with our wrongs." Were it consonant with the dignity of this country, we might well in reply give them the assurances of the sympathy they require, and leave them there, but how would that better their case 7 On the con- trary, it is a thousandfold more to their advantage that we should not hold out hopes which we can never realize. It needs no special assurance to certify them of the fact that the sympathies of Eng land are always with the oppressed and against the oppressor. Let them win their own way to a point at which we can treat with them, and we will gladly , do so. Meanwhile, the independent policy of this country is ever acting in their favour, although silently and unostentatiously. Every Englishman would with pleasure see the subjects of every other Government as free as himself. The "nationali ties," however, must do as we and our forefathers have done before us—they must work out the mea sure of freedom they desire. Liberty is no exotic plant, fostered in an artificial atmosphere, and tended by alien hands ; by its own vigour, by it s own innate energy it must grow, or it will soon be cast aside as a sickly and worthless weed. We find ourselves so constantly exposed to the solicitations and censures of refugees and represen tatives of oppressed nationalities, that we think it right to give expression to what we believe to be the real state of public opinion in England on the subject. We refuse to be pressed into the service as the champions of every falling, or even of every rising cause. Our history is pregnant with too *salmi of i m i g examples of the results which have flowed arise Z e e h il interference.

From Anapa to B and soldiers had purged the eastern coast of Euxine of the Russian forces, and a clear field o as left to these Circassian mountaineers. Great result were expected from the achievements which, as it was supposed, they would perform. Nothing came of it. For years past we had seen in all the pic ture shops of London and Paris representations of Schanayl ; and other Caucasian worthies, and had associated them in our minds with the old legendary days of Wallace and Tell. A notable opportunity was thrown in their way-..such an opportunity as is never likely to recur until all Europe may find it necessary to levy war against Russia. The gorgeous mountaineers did nothing ; nor did their action weigh one pin's head in the decision of the war. We remember well that it was a common opinion when Williams and his friends were beleaguered at Kars that the Caucasians might have made some demonstration which would have drawn off some of the storm from the besieged garrison. Tiflis is not so far distant from their frontier ; but they did nothing. They wanted either the will or the power to aid ns. If it was goodwill which was deficient, they have no right to the smallest sym pathy from us ; if power, what can we hope to accomplish in their favour more than was accom plished when the allied armies held the Crimea, and our fleets swept the Euxine ? Some stipula tion, they say, ought to have been inserted in the Treaty of Paris in their favour. The independence of the Caucasus was not the object for which the war was undertaken, nor had the action of the mountaineers been such as to import into the programme of the Alliance any fresh stipulation on their behalf. As far as they were concerned, the war which Europe waged against Russia was a lucky opportunity which they would have done well to improve to the utmost of their power, but at the point at which hostilities terminated Europe was not prepared to continue hostilities on their account. We have received a document, purport ing to be "An address to the British nation," signed by Sefer Pasha, Prince of Circassia. The Prince takes a very high tone upon recent transac tions, and tells us that " During the late war we (the Circassians) sent a deputation to the Crimea, offering our assistance to the allied armies. That deputation was sent back with the answer that for the moment our aid was not necessary, and when they wanted they would call us.'" If this be the claim upon which our active assistance is now in voked, it appears to rest upon a very slender foun dation. It is not pretended that we received any benefit from the Circassians, or, indeed, assistance from them of any kind. On the contrary,. there was an offer, and the offer was rejected. Is it pre tended that we led them into any error—engaged them in hostilities with the Russian Government, and then abandoned them to their fate 9 Not at all. For thirty years Sefer Pasha tells us his nation and Russia have been at war. The outbreak of hostili ies found the Circassians at war with the Russians— the termination of those hostilities left them at war with their old enemies still. In what respect have they established any claim to our interference on their bekalf t Our ground of general policy on the question has been decided the other way, and of that policy we were the judges as of right. We have argued this question gravely, because it is the first time that it has ever been brought formally before the public since the conclusion of the Russian war. It is our deliberate opinion that in the hour of trial these mountaineers were found wanting to the common cause. It may well be that their habits fit them peculiarly for maintain ing a contest with Russia in their own mountain fastnesses ; and such a contest we most unfeignedly and sincerely hope they may long be enabled to maintain with success. We hear with pleasure of their victories ; but it would be a mere delusion to hold out to them the expectation that we can effectually interfere on their behalf. Thus much of Sefer Pasha and his letter; but we shall not be surprised if this is the first step in what is called " a movement in favour of oppressed nationality." There will be speeches about Circassia in abundance, and bazaars, and much indignation, and perhaps a fancy ball—the Circassian female costume is singu larly becoming.—Times. TRADE AND NATIGIATION STATISTICS A. large light blue-book (annually published) gives the following statement of the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom in the year 1856, just presented to Parliament by Royal command. The details of the statement are almost infinite, but the following " ab stract" will supply a sufficient general idea of them. To proceed :—The real value of the imports (in 1856) amounted to 172,544,1541., and that of the exports to 139,220,3531. The imports increased from 143,542,8501 . (in 1855), and the exports, from 116,691,3001. (in the same year). The " official " value of the total imports of goods is estimated at 131,937,7631. (vice 172,544,1541. the "real" value). The imports included 129,517,5681. from foreign countries (the cemputed "real" value of the geede), and 43,026,5861. from the colonies. The exports included 115,826,948/., the actual produce of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and 23,393,4051. of foreign and colonial goods. The official value of the foreign and colonial exports is estimated at 33,423,7241. The imports from foreign ooutries included 9,999,579/.from Russia (north), and 1,562,345/ (south) ; 2,031,8611. from Sweden, 2,201,8311. from Denmark, 4,534,815/. from Prussia, 5,302,7391. from the Hanse Towns, 7,433,422/. from Holland, 2,236,798/. from Belgium, 10,386,5221. from France, 2,164,0901. from Portugal, 3,645,0831. from Spain, 2,654.580/ ,from the Spanish West Indies (Cuba, &c.), 1,505,5821. from the Two Sicilies, 1,427,2891. from Greece, 2,383,0291. from Turkey, 5,753,5181. from Egypt, 36,047,7731., from the United Sates of America, 2.229,0481., from Brazi, 1,700,776/. from Chili, 3,048,6941. from Peru, 9,421,648/. from China, and 1,657,375/, from the West Coast of Africa. The imports from all other counties were under 1,000,0001., and it will hardly be credit:ci by the general public that those from the " Austrian terri tories," as they are called in the official list, did not exceed the comparatively paltry figure of 902,4331. The computed real value of the imports from the colo nies was, from Canada, 3,779,741/. ; from New Bruns wick, 1,891,7071. ; ;vim the West Indies, 4,157,0981. ; from Guiana, 1,418,2641. ; from New South Wales, 2,317,5911.; from Victoria, 2,033,054/, ; from India (or, as official papers still call it, the "East Indies"), 17,262,8511., exclusive of Ceylon, Singapore, and the traesit through Egypt ; from Ceylon, 1,304,1741. ; from the Mauritius, 2,427,007/. ; and from the Cape of Good Hope, 1,502,8281. From all other places the imports ruled under a million. The exports of domeetio pr iclace and manufactures from the United King. dom to foreign countries included about 1,500,000/. to Russia, 1,033,142/. to Denmark, 1,021,485/. to Hanover (a large increase), 10,134,813/. to the Hanse Towns ; 5,728,253/. to Holland, 1,689,975/. to Belgium, 6,432,650/. to France, 1,455,754/. to Portugal, 1,734,483/. to Spain, 1,317,062/. to Cuba, &e., 1,143,689/ to Sardinia, 1,202,1831. to the Two Sictliee, 4,416,0291. to Turkey, 1,587,6821. to Egypt. 21,476.126/ to the United States of America, 4.804,5371. to Brazil ' 1,396,446/. to Chili, 1,046,0101. to Peru, and 1,415,4781 to China. The exports of the mother country to the colonies included 2,418,250/. to Canada, 1,462,156/, to the West Indies and Guiana, 2,584,8761. to New South Wales, 5,495,764/. to Victoria, 10,546,1901. to liidie, and 1,344,3381. to the Cape. It will be understood that the above figures refer to the produce of the United King dom exolusively.

The following general order relating to the regu lations for volunteering from the Militia regiments to the regiments of the Line has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of his Royal High ness the General Commanding-in-Chief : " 1. The restriction of the volunteering to men who have attended one training, or who have been three months in the Militia, is dispensed with. " 2. A. sum of 10s. in cash, instead of 3s. 6d. as here tofore, is to be handed to each volunteer on attestation, and the balance of his bounty —viz 305., is to be paid to him, without deduction, on joining his new corps. The enlisting shilling, the 10s. bounty, and the money recruiting required for fees for the ma gistrates' clerk, are, in con formity to Volun teering Instructions,' dated December last, to be drawn from p c a l y a m us a e ste B rs o b f y th t e he W offi ar c - a o r ffi s c o e ' of the the ser M vice ili w tia who are called upon to enlist the volunteers. 3. Vaunteers from the Cavalry and Rifle Corps, if of the prescribed standard and in all other respects fit for the service, are not to be rejected on account of not measuring 34 inches round the chest.—By command, G. A. WICTHERALL, Adjutant.-General. Captain R. H. Travers, 24th Regiment, has been appointed Acting Instructor of Musketry to the 2d battalion at Chatham garrison during the absence of Clpt. J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment, who has succeeded Capt. C. Lutyenis, 20th Regiment, in that appointment. The number of troops be longing to the various branches ot the service who are under daily instruction at Chatham in the use of the Enfield rifle exceeds 500 officers and men. We are informed that 235 men of the Royal North Lincoln Militia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel R. Eewl7lhlioscmoror,p7sB men have been b , a c v h e ie v fl o y lu th n e te 6 e o re t d h near Royal Marines. An fßfionri Rifles, Rifle passedr e ttl a regular o a r i tgha y edi , er inquiry was instituted as to the great proportion of rejections, and in future the medical examina tion will be less strict ; but the fact that the men selected picked corps, above the common standard in height or circumferenceof chest, in part accounts for it also. The number of recruits enlisted during the last four months in the northern district, of which Bel fast isthe head-quarters, was as follows :—Sept. 221; Oct., 229 ; Nov., 395 ; Dec., 253 ; total, 1,098, or an average per month of 274. In the part of this month which has elapsed the recruiing parties have been equally successful. Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, struck his flag on board the Blenheim at sunset on Saturday, and proceeded to London to be present at the Royal festivities. The Governer of the garrison, Major-General the Hon. Sir Jas. Y. Scarlett, K.C. 8., also left Ports mouth on Friday under similar ciecumstances. Royal salutes are expected to be fired at noon to day by the flagship and others all "dressed," and by the garrison battery on the King's ravelin. A band will play on the glacis adjacent, and another on the esplanade, and the troops available will be inspected at noon on Southsea-common by the senior officer left in the garrison. The Govern ment-house will be brilliantly illuminated, and the mayor has given 200 or more ticke . s to the poor fur coals, and recommended the inhabitants to make the day a holiday. Gosport, Farebam, Ryde, New port, Havant, and other contiguous places have given out announcements of doing honour to the clay with befitting spirit ; the poor are to be con sidered most generously, the public functionaries will meet and dine together, balls and other parties take place at night, and illuminations will be nu merous and handsome. It is rumoured that Admiral Lord Lyons will succeed Lord Stratford de Redcliffe as Ambassador at Constantinople, and that Vice-Admiral Fan shawe will succeed to the command of the Medi terranean, as we some time ago reported ; also that Admiral Ayscough and Vice-Admiral Mingaye have been offered the service pension which fell in to disposal by the death of Vice-Admiral Sir J. Coode. Mr. T. Jamieson, Store receiver, at Deptford Victualling yard, i s appointed to the Royal Clarence yard, Gosport, as Storekeeper, vice Mr. Joseph Pinhorn, retired after half a century's service. The steamvessel Otter, 3, Lieut. C. H. Simpson, commanding, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Sheerness with the Traveller screw gunboat in tow, which is appropriated to the steam reserve depot ship Blenheim as a tender. The Otter left the same afternoon on her return to Sheerness, and took round supernumeraries. The steam frigate Valorous, 16, Capt. Aldham, and the steam despatch boats Alacrity, 4, Com mander A. Wodehouse, and Lapwing, 4, Comman der O'Reilly, are under orders to leave Plymouth to-day for Portsmouth, and join the escort on the marriage of the Princess Royal. The defect in the blowpipe of the screw steam sloop Alert, 17, Commander W. A. R. Pearse, hay it,g been made good, she has returned from the inner harbour to Plymouth Sound. Her crew were paid wages on Thursday by Rear-Admiral Sir J. Pasley, and sue is under sailing orders for Val paraiso. Private letters dated Montevideo, N ov. 29, have been received at Plymouth written from the pad dlewheel steamsloop Virago, 6, Commander Henry V. Haggard. She was ordered to join the forces on the Chinese seas, but having carried away theanain shaft of one of her engines, it is necessary for her to return home, and she may be expected inMarcb. The Virago left Plynnyath June 16, 1856, and has been engaged on the south-east coast of America ever since. On Saturday morning H.R.H. Prince Adalbert of Prussia, attended by three gentlemen of his suite, and Lieut.-Col. Cavendish, one of the Equerries of the Prince Consort, visited Woolwich Dockyard. They arrived from Buckingham Palace itt a couple of the Royal carriages and four, and were received Mr. Macdonald, th e master atten dant the dockyard by the Commodore quperintend e nt eeper ; Mr. Penf o ld, accountant ; Rice, master s hi pwr i ght ; Mr. j v d n n S t t h e ; e : Fisgard. They went Mr. Easthope, store receiver ; and Mr. M ug f or d, commander of h i‘s e it r or d .re ; k the flag ship through the whole of the departments—the facto ries, engine stores, rigging house, (tc., walked round the fitting basins, went on board the steam frig es Galatea and Challenger, now in a forward statlr of construction, and visited the testing appa ratus for proving the strength of ship's anchors, the sawmills, smitheries, &c. His Royal Highness evinced considerable interest in and made a minute examination of every department, and, as Admiral of the Prussian navy, appeared desirous of gaining information which rw y be of service to him in that capacity ; th e gentlemen o f hi s suite were mem bers of te dockyard service. Their final visit was to the Pay- o ffi ce , where Mr. Penfold exhibited his newly invented system, by which 60 men are paid per minute. The company of Royal Marines, in command of Capt. Bunce, on duty in the dockyard, were iu readiness to perform the usual honours, but the Prince begged to decline any formalities. Having passed four hours in visiting this establish ment his Royal Highness and party accepted the preferred hospitality of Commodore Shepherd, and after p irtaking of a sumptuous repast they returned to London. The first and sec 3 o-class steam reserve ships are fast completing at Portsmouth. The first-class steam reserve ships are to be fully rigged and armed so as to be ready for sea at 24 hours' notice. There will be consequently at the various ports 20 screw line-of-battle ships, ten first-class heavy screw fri gates, with a squadron of screw gun-boats available for any immeliate active service if necessary. The second-class steam reserve will consist of an equal number of screw liners, frigates, and gun-boats, with their lower mists in, and sea stores on board, with a mastn• in charge. They will consist of the following at Portsmouth Algiers .................. 91 Screw two-decker. Caesar ................. 91 Screw two-decker. Duke of Wellington 131 Screw three-decker.

On Saturday Mr. }Laren an American, now on a visit to this country, whose skill in taming the horse and completely subjecting him, however wild, vicious or intractable, to his will and mastery is beginning to attract public attention, was afforded an opportunity of exhibiting his peculiar powers in this capacity before the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Princess Royal, Prince of ales, Prince Alfred, and other members of the Royal family, with the ladies of the Court and most of the foreign Princes and distinguished visitors now in London, includ ing Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Prince of Prusda, Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, Prince Albert of Prussia, Prince Adalbert of Prussia, Prince Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Duke of Bra- bant, the Count of Flanders, Prince William of Baden, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and Prince Julius of Holstein Glucksburg. The performances of Mr. Rarey, which were of great interest, and. elicited the amazement of all who witnessed them, took place in the Riding-school attached to the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Wellington, Major-General Sir R. Airey, Lord A. Paget, Clerk Marshal; Col. Hood, Clerk Mar shal to the Prince Consort; and Major Groves, Crown Equerry, were also present. Tuis was the second occasion on which Mr. Rarey had had the hon our of exhibiting his skill before her Majesty and Prince Albert. The first was at Windsor, a week or ten days ago, when the feats of the horse-tamer, seen by them under the influence of novelty, occa sioned so high a degree of interest and astonishment to the Royal party as to lead to a wish on the part of the Queen and the Prince Consort to have the exhibition repeated. On that occasion the subjects on which Mr. Rarey operated were three in number. One was a fine spirited black horse, of high nervous temperament, which had been returned to Mr. A nderson, of Piccadilly, of whom he had been bought for a large sum of money,lon the grovnd of his being restiff and all but unmanageable. This animal, it is but right to say, had been seen and handled by Mr. Rarey, at Mr. Anderson's stables, previous to his being taken to Windsor. At the fi rs t i n t erv iew with the horse in Piccadilly he was placed in a loose box, which Mr. Rarey entered, cracking a whip. Startled by this unusual exhibition of violence, 'he animal struck out with both his hind legs, and uttered a kind of savage yell. The company wile had assembled to witness the experiment were then asked to withdraw, and Mr. Rarey was left alone with the horse. On being called in again in leas than a quarter of an hour, they were amazed to find the animal prostrate on his side among tbe straw in the stall, with his head slightly raised, and Mr. Rarey, whom be was eyeing without the least symptom of alarm, lying beside him. Mr. Rarey remained with him in this position for some time, during which he knocked the horse's fore and hind hoofs together, made a pillow of his thighs, and finally got up and ran a heavy wheelbarrow up to and around the still prostrate creature, without pro ducing in him the slightest sensation of fear. On a subsequent day, in the presence of another company, the mastery of Mr. Rarey over this same horse, which he had seen in the interval, had become so complete that when laid on his side in a loose box a plank was placed against his shoulder In sight of the horse and a barrow run up it. He never moved. A drum was also beaten on his back, and an umbrella opened in his very face ; but he remained stock still, and evinced no sign of apprehension. The same horse was afterwards put through a course of similar treatment at Windsor before the Queen. The next subject on which Mr. Ram , experi mented before the Court on that occasion was a young unbroken colt, br ought from a farm of Prince Albert in the vicinity, which had neverbeen handled in any way, and which Mr. Rarey had never before seen. This colt was led into the riding-school at Windsor in a halter, and left alone with the horse tamer, who intimated .a wish that the company should xetire for a few minutes to the further end of the building. This request, it ought to be stated, was not dictated by any feeling on his part that the treatment to which he was about to subject the animal was of a kind which the spectators would not witness without , emotion or pain, but simply because, for the present, and for purposes of his own, Mr. Rarey wishes to preserve his own secret. After a lapse of about a quarter of an hour the Royal party were summoned to return, and then they saw as in the former case this wild colt lying on the ground, and the horse tamer by his side, who sat upon him and handled his legs, feet, and every other part by turns—a process during which the creature remained wholly passive. After Mr. Rarey had parted with the colt a handsome bay charger, belonging to the Prince Con sort, was brought to him in the riding school. This horse, one of high spirit, which has always shown great restlessness while being mounted and a con stant tendency to take fright would, it was thought, almost defy Mr. Rarey's attempts to tame him ; but the result was as successful as in each of the previous instances. In a short time the horse-tamer had him down also, as submissive as all the rest, and was seen orawling anung his legs, sitting upon his sliculders and hips, and knocking his hoofs to.- gether. Then, bidding the horse rise, which he did instantly, Mr. Rarey jumped upon his back and, held by turns an umbrella over his head, and beat a tat-too on a drum, the hitherto proud, restless animal, now owning subjection to a new master, remaining the while almost as motionless as a statue. All this, of course, made a great impression on the spectators, but among some of them a question naturally arose whether Mr. Rarey's treatment was capable of being communicated to others and prac tised by them with equal success, or whether it was a thing peculiar to himself, for in the latter case the public benefit to accrue from it would be comparatively limited. 'lt is said that Sullivan, the horse-whisperer, as he was designated, from the extraordinary power he acquired over the animal, either could not or would not impart his secret to any one, and the inference among horsemen has long been that it was incomrnunicale. To show that Mr. Rarey's power is not a thing personal to himself, he has since his exhibition of it at Windsor communicated the se 'vet of it to Major-General Sir Richard Airey, Lord Alfred Paget, and Col. Hood, under the most stringent obligations, of course, that they will not disclose it to others; and Lord Alfre d Pa g et, who is now as much a horse-tamer as Mr. Ilarey, on Saturday Consort, his . skill . before her and their august visi tors, taking for his subject a beautiful dapple gray the cess Princec u l exem c p o h::: was left alone with the pony for a fe w minutes in the pony belonging to the Prince of Wales. .Lord Alfred riding-school, and on admission of the . Royal p irty it g M a a v j e e a s t s y d , c was prostrate on the ground with his lordship sitting, caressing it, handl ng its feet and I,gs, resting on its haunches, and in ad respects treating it in a manner proving its complete subjection to him. That over, M. Rarey . appeared with the black horse from Anderson's in Piccadilly, to which reference has been made, and his mas t e r y ov e r which be showed in a varivy o f ways. Placing himself at one end of the riding school, he called to the animal, which he had left at the other, and it immediately cantered towards him in a play ful ma nner. It lay down at his bidding, or followed him like a dog round the building. When down, a plank was laid upon its shoulder, up which Lord Alfred Paget ran a wheelbarrow. Finally, when the hor-e had regained his legs, he was mounted by Mr. Rarey, who sat on the animal's crupper with his back to the head, beating a drum and cracking a whip over him, this treatment resulting in neither motion nor fear on the part of the horse. One of the fine stud of cream-coloured horses belonging to her Majesty was next subjected to the manipulation of Mr. Rarey, with an equally successful and surprising result, so far as laying the animal, which is an entre horse, down was con cerned, and handling him all over with the most perfect freedom, the horse-tamer not deeming it desirable, on so short an acquaintance, to carry the familiarity to the extent of opening an umbrella in his face, or cracking a whip, or beating a drum over him. Besides the frequent display of some vicious propensities, this particular animal of late has never permitted any one to ride him ; but he allowed Mr. Rarey to mount him without offering the least resistance. With this the exhibition ter minated, and the Queen and her illustrious visitors, by whom it was witnessed with the most evident tokens of interest and wonder, took their departure. It ought to be stated that Sir Richard Airey, Lord Alfred Paget, and Col. Hood, to eaoh of whom Mr. Rarey has communicated his swot, are under stood to declare that there is nothing in the treat ment in the smallest degree painful or improper towards the horse subjected to it, or which would offend the susceptibilities of a bystander sensitively alive to anything partaking in the least of cruelty to a dumb animal. They also assert that it consists of no trickery of any description, nor of the use of any drug, or mesmeric or other similar influence whatever. Mr. Rarey's theory is that hitherto all our treatment of this noble animal—at least, in the preliminary stages sf breaking, and so forth—has proceeded on ideas of his nature altogether errone ous and cruel, has been invariably characterised by unnecessary violence, which has provoked the dis play of resistance and other kindred qualities on his part, and so the evil has been perpetuated. The principle on which Mr. Rarey goes, on the other hand, is one of extreme kindness and tenderness to. the animal, the object being to convince him that man is his natural master and friend, and to elicit his confidence and kindly regard. Mr. Rarey appeals to what he calls "the intellect and affec tions of the horse," and states that this is'the secret of all his success. He is a slightly made man about 30 years of age; the son 'of a stock farmer' and breeder of horses, who lived in Franklin county in the State of Ohio, and is himself engaged in a similar occupaticm at a place called Groveport, about ten miles from Colombo, the capital of that State. From boyhood he is stated to have exhi bited an intense fondness for horses and a remark able aptitude for breaking and training them after the old fashion, until he discovered this more humane system of treatment, which he has since practised with the greatest success in his native State. The subjects on which he has operated have been in many cases horses reclaimed in a perfectly wild condition from the American prairies, and in the course of his experience he has had one arm and both legs broken. He is accompanied to this coun ty!, by Mr. R. A. Goodenough, a gentleman of long standing and respectability as a merchant and ama teur breeder of horses in the city of Toronto, who brings letters of recomm.,nda ion to the Govern ment from Sir Edmund Head, Governor-General of Canada, and Lieutenant General Sir W. Eyre, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Canada. We believe that Sir Richard Airey and Lord A. Paget have been requested to inquire into and report upon the system of treatment adopted by llr. Rarey in the interest of the Government. GREAT THURNEYSSEN BANKRUPTCY. The following is the judgment of the Imperial Court of Paris in the great Thurneyssen bank ruptcy -- " The Court, donsidering that by a duly executed deed of the 29th of Dec., 1846, a company in a collective name was formed between Auguste and Charles Thur neyssen, and that according to this deed, enregistered and published conformabll to the prescriptions of the commercial law, the community of interest was to finish on the 31st of December, 1851 ; " Cousidering that it is proved :-1, that in the early part of 1848 the company were compelled to make an arrangement with its creditors ; 2, that Auguste Thur neyssen quitted Paris at the commencement of 1849 and entered into the home of Steiglitz, of St. Petersburg ; 3, that by a circular of the let of May of teat year, dated from St. Petersburg, the commercial world was informed that Charles Thurneyssen would henceforth have the direction of the company, and that he was, moreover, charged to wind it up ; 4, that another circular of the 15th of October of the same year made known to the public that the how° of Eirourg, of Paris, would continue the business of the Com pany Thurneyssen ; 5, that Auguste Thurneyss:n sent from Rus s i a considerable sums, the fruit of his labours in the house of Steiglits, to pay the creditors of the company ; "Considering that after the expiration of the company a new convention was entered into on Jan. 25, 1852, between Augnate and Charles Thurneyssen ; that ac bording to the deed duly executed to that effect a part nership was formed between the parties for five years ; that it was therein stipulated that Auguste Thurneyssen should be simply a commandigaire ; that his part should consist in the capital which he had engaged in the pre ceding company, that the profit and lose should be equally divided, without however the less on the part of Auguste Teuroeyssen exceeding his sommandite ; that it was stipulated in the same deed that the liquidation of the (lir solved company should be made by Charles Thur neyssen; " Considering that in order to set aside the qualifica tion and the legal consequence of that deed the assiznfte oppose :-1, that it is neither serious nor bona, fide ; 2, that not having made it public, and the deposit of the commenclitaire not being determined, it was a collective and jointly responsible company that was formed ; 3, that it is proved by the books and documents collected in the interest of the mass that the greater part of the 6 credits inscribed in the balance-sheet of Charles Thur. neyssen, and the 'misapplications which have inopo;e tished the assets, date back to the company, 1846, and that it is therefore legal, just, and necessary to extend to Auguste Thurneyssen the. declaration of bankruptcy pronounced against his partner ; " Considering, in the first plea, that the assignees cannot divide the deed which ser►es as the foundation of the pretension which they put forward tbat in esi.abiish ing that the con►ention had only the semblance of being en oommanclite, and that in the intention of the parties, it had for ot•ject, by facilitating the Clandestine continu ation of the company of 1846, to withdraw Auguste Thurnsyssen from the obligations which the desperate state of the affairs of that company imposed on him ; " Considering that this condition is not fulfilled; that on the o intrary, it resuits from the documents, fact -2, and circumstances o f the trial that the company of 1852 was formed seriously and lona fide, and that it had been most fairly carried into execution ; " Con-ideri g, in fact, that it is proved on the one hand that Charles Thurneyssen has alone managed the cotsmon affairs ; that he alone has been in relation wit h t e h e i g r e d e parties meetewere signed and has in his treated individual them—thatth name— that m_h e all t the gat the accounts kept in conformity with the conv en t i on establish o m a p o a o u ra y p o l e r t e l 3 %4- 6 7 r e a o t n i o fi n d e between oh a the l s liqu ida tion T. sen, and the operations of the new company, of whh he was the manager ; that it is also proved, on the ot her hand, that Auguste Thurneyssen signed the deed in dis pute at St. Petersburg ; that be remained there until 1854, attached to the house of Steiglitz ; that he never, when either near or at a distance, was occupied with the management, and that he entered into no engagement, either direct or indirect, with any one whatever; that in his correspondence he has always separated his condi tion from that of Charles Thurneyssen, a circumstance calculated to striketheattention of third parties, because, ep to the period of his departure for Russia, Auguste Thurneyssen had had the principal direction in the affairs of his house ; that, in short, it is not disputed ' that, full of confidence in the fortune and good faith of his nephew, Auguste Thurneyssen never ceased to send to him all the profits of his labours with the house of Steiglitz ; t` Considering that the letter written on the 28th of February, 1853, to Count do Krasinski, far from mili tating against the declarations of the deed, serves to confirm them ; " Considering,in fact, that if Auguste Therneyssen therein speaks of the affairs of Charles Thurneyssen as of his own, which is in conformity with the truth, since in whatever character hefiguted in the company of 1852, whether as a jointly responsible partner or the person who sapplie4 the funds, there existed between him ar d Chas. Thurneyssen a community of interest, it is after having expressly declared that, pessimist as he is, he sees with. out uneasiness the remnants of his patrimony engaged iu the house of his nephew —a declaration irreconcileable with the idea of a collective company. " Considering that on the second plea-1, that Article 42 of the Commercial Code does not attach to the non observance of the formalities of publicity any other con esp e ue q br u te lu te c fi eon for the e h tr a he n ee itende past; n between ta l i wt t y et ehonef the ho b en e re d eo e nn e tt d iroa w ne it does n h o ge r il e p g na a er rd tt tehst parties, al t en h sd e s their defau t c e o f n f s e e r n re that ma a i ti s s fa a r s a i s t re w g a a s r dws htheinrdtphaerytigeasvtehe r alities cannot be brought forward with respic to them b 3 t ,e partners, but that no rule of law authorises them wneu they produce a deed liable to be declared null to divi is it ; to substitute for the stipulations it contains others of a different kind ;anti a making subordinate to a defect in form the effect of the convention nt the company, wit() whatever sincerity it may have been made and executed, to extend to all the pal tnera personal, direct, and inde finite responsibility, when towards some of them it con fines itself to a determinate portion of their patrimony ; " Considering, 2, that Auguste Thurneyssen, in stipu lating in the deed of 1852 hat the money he was to bring into the concern should be fry med of the capital which he had engaged in the company which had expired, has suffioiently determined the sum which he brought into the new company ; that the material operation of the said acc ant was sufficient to fix the amount, and that thus the intention of the commercial law was fulfilled. " Considering, on the third plea, that if, as is alleged, the credits inscribed in the balance -sheet drawn up by the assignees arise in a great measure from the company of 1846, and that it is necessary to carry back to the time when it existed the misapplications of money imputed to Charles Thurneyssen, the only indication to be drawn from these facts is that this creditors of the company of 1846, not paid or despoiled by Charles Thurneyssen, have against Auguste Thurneyssen, who was the manager, a jointly responsible action, and that they may exercise it to its fullest extent, as the responsibility of the debtor could not have been modified by the convention of 1852; that it would be contrary to all notions of law and equity that, on account of an unsettled liability in a former company, a partner should be involved in the declaration of bankruptcy caused by the insolvency of the company which succeeded it, when from the nature of the convention his person was protected from any direct action ; that each of these cc,r o p an i es forms distinct concern, having its own particular responsibility ; " Considering, moreover, that if profits have been unduly received during the company of 1842, and if it itsle established t d h i e a , t 3 o t i he ut j e e r e r a h ng ar e e m h e a n d t aft); which resell ao t c e o a m tt p r ad i b n e i e te sums ered t e e n !. se i t o ut belongediiies ssanec t e eth ry e ' a st l actions of restituti on ; eh l le tf for r Aug usta ee t T n paymentur exercisen o e y f o assignees the judgment appealed against as far as the declaration of bankruptcy pronounced against Charles Thurneyssenhas been extended to Auguste Thurneyssen; Rejects the demand of the assignee, the judgment as regards George Thurneyssen havin g e ff ect for the nsceives therein expressed ; • And considering that the judgment, the quashing of which is now pronounced, has been executed provision ally, removes the seals placed by the assignees, and orders that all furniture, senorita, and papers seized from Auguste Thurneyssen shall be restored to him ; " Orders the restitution of the fine deposited on his appe'al by Auguste Thurneyssen ; "Conciensns the assignee to the oost of his appeal against George Thurneyssen, and to all the other costs both of first instance and appeal ; " On the remainder of the conclusions nonsuits the parties."

THE LATE GENERAL SIR HENRY HAvILOOK.-0a Friday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham, convened by Mr. Ratcliff, the Mayor, wall held in the Town-hall, for the purpose of considering in what manner the town shall express its admiration of the character and services of the late lamented Gen. Have lock. About 1,500 were present, and the meeting was of the most enthusiastic character. The Mayor having briefly introduced the object for which they were assem bled, Alderman Lloyd proposed a resolution which re cognised the distinguished services of the gallant hero as demanding at the hands of the people and Government such an expression of national gratitude as should do honour to the memory and munifice n tly prov i de for the family of this illustrious soldier. The Rev. Dr; Miller, in an eloquent speech, supported the proposition, which was seconded by Mr. Langford, and carried amid accla mation. Mr. Bynnersley (stipendiary magistrate) the* proposed the formation of a committee for the purpose of raising a fund for the promotion of this object, to be applied as hereafter should be deemed advisable, with instructions to report to a future meeting thereon. This proposition way also unanimously adopted, and a come mittee of gentlemen nominated and appointed. A large sub , oription is confidently anticipated. MONUMENT TO GEN.

THE TEETH AND BREAM—How often do we find the human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefesi of its ornaments, and the breath disagreeable to COw panions by non -attention to the Teeth. Though perfect in their structure acd composition, to keep them in pure and healthy state requires some little trouble ; and it those who are blessed with well-formed teeth, knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly' what otherwise are delightful to admire, and designative unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they wool° spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes.
