In all probability the statement . he was now making would go 1 .0 the public, and he was sure all who read it would join him in a prayer to the Government and the country for grants for the purpose of puttim fig on its legs that force which alone could insure. the pros perity, the welfare, indeed! the safe',--- of the uuntry. (Cheers.) The next question to whi c h they should turn their minds, supposing the fleets provided, was to the stout hearts who - wore to man them, which had been a subject of great import ante in the minds of all the governing powers for many years, for, from the----nature and character of our commerce, which extended. over - the whole globe, there was always great difficulty,in manning. the fleet of ships usually m.eommission, even wi k the ample time 'afforded under ordinary eireum;- stances, the ships being gm-dually rigged and fitted. The prevision - nn-this respect, then, for a sudden emergency, was, and had been for:years, the question of the day. In, times gone hy, when tho..nublie mind was riut-so'powerful Or inquiring; and the press was riot the great and almo st all-ruling power it had since- become, it was the custom m. such emergencies to la- pan embargo our ports, and take the seamen by - the Strong_ hand to man our fl ee t s . lint - in the progr ess of time ihe public had decided that This was a pains , :taking; an unsatisfactory, and a slave-making mode; which they would not put up with any longer; and consequently everything had been done of late years to ameliorate the condition of the seamen on board our ships of war, and to render the service of the country more popular. That was the course that had been and was still being taken ; but, although he would not speak disparagingly of the sailor, for without a charac- , teristic he was about to impute to them our tars • would not be what they were, their recklessness was such that they only valued what was before their -eyes at • the moment r tind disregarded. anything like provision in the shape of pension in the time of sick ness or old age. Her Majesty had been pleased to • place him (the noblespcAker) at the head of a com mission, with a view-of seeing if anything could be laid before her'MajeSty•te solve this great problem the, case of need they should be enabled at short, notice to mare' 30 or 40 sail of the line. He felt that the undertaking *as a:grave one, -afia he addressed himself theretb:with the greatest pos sible desire to .bring it to.VSAlisfactory conclu sion. He did not thinkihe QOwn should abandon that great and important right it had ever exercised for the purpose of the defence of the country, ,of taking yersonsivhb haa.been bred up to the naval profession, whether merchant seamen or otherwise, ',and compelling those_persons to stand, forth in the defenee of the country. -There'was not a man inTng land-who was not compelled by moral law and con stitutional right to give up his blood for the defence of the country ; and he was at a loss to understand, that being the case, that merchant seamen should not be compelled to lend their exertions to protect . the homes and firesides of England. While he felt that every exertion should be made to ameliorate the condition of the sailor, and to provide at the expense of the State for his widow and orphans, he seriously advocated that the Crown should never abandon ' the right of impressment, but adhere to the prin ciple of laying an embargo on bur ports and seizing sailors for the defence of -tho country. He knew the exereisu of the power was painful, and should Only be used in cases of the-direst emergency ; but used-it ought to be, -when the -lives, the preperty, the wealth of the inhabitants of this great nation were at stake. When such sacred interests were at stake the matter vanished before his mind .as a question of law,, the twa great questions being _placed in juXtaposition. The mode of taxing was a difficult matter to decide on—whether by a ballot' as in the militia ; whether for a - term of years, ac cording .to the age of the parties : all these ques tions must be considered, this liCing an island, and considering that, though at I peace (and he prayed fervently that this peace might continue), we should always be prepared for war.. The officers of the navy were most anxious to be placed in such a po sition by the good understanding and right feeling of the people of England, and when called upon to shed their blood in the defence of their country, weapons and means should be placed in their hands not only to show their strength and ability, but their readiness to meet the liberal expenditure of the country by making the best use of those • weapons.

(Front the Pananta Star) Our dates from Victoria, Vancouver Island, arc to the 27th A ngitA ; and from Fort Hope, Fraser River, to August ;23; The principal item of news is the threatened breaking out of a serious war between the Indians and the miners. Ever tinee the white men have invaded the Fraser River country, they have been made to submit to various annoyances and outrages from the savages. These have become mere and more frequent and unbear able, and lately not a few white men, who have been caught at. • a distance from the large camps, alone or in small prties, have been murdered. To protect themselves the whites at Fort Yale enrolled into two or three companies, and started out into the Indian country to fight, or awe the savages to . making a peace. A few day s a ft er th e y h a d l e ft fort Yale (on the 18th August) a report reached that place that one of the companies had been, sur prised at night by a large body of Indians, and that all but one or two had been inhumanly butchered. This news created immense excitement among theminerS all along the "banks of the river, and in Victoria, when the account of the mass acre reached there. The miners held meetings, memorialised the Governor for arms, organised companies, and pre pared themselves for a war of extermination. • Many were disposed to censure the Hudson's Bay Company, and the most serious difficultiesiver l e i apprehended all around. While mattersin this a s posture, massacre_ c c . al t e he in w t i l i i i qt e t e l o w m a p c a c i o l3 7 w t 1;f wereut he true.

But as the- pi • esence of the miners on the bars and banks of Fraser River interfere with the, salmon fisheries, which are the chief depen dence- of the savages for food, it is certain that seri ous difficulties must hereafter be continual bet Ween *in and the miners. The mining news from Fraser River is still un satisfactory. The river at latest accounts was too high to allow of profitable working by a majority of the miners. Some " dry diggingP have been discovered near Fort Yale, but what is their rich ness or their extent is not yet known here. Consi derable excitement had also prevailed at Victoria concerning some,reportcd gold discoveries on Van couver Island, north-west of Victoria from five to 25 miles. 'As many as a thousand people had rushed there and " staked off claims ;" but the latest ac counts represent the whole thing as a humbug. Gold was found in minute particles, but not in suffi cient quantity to pay the kliggers. Business was very dull at Victoria, and property there had greatly depreciated in value. A few of those who went up to Fraser River, and a large number of those who proceeded no further than Victoria and Bellingham Bay, have returned to California.

THORLEY'S FOOD .FOR "CATTLE.,--= It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our 'wonder will cease. &few days since, a gentleman _wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The .horse rapidly grew fat, and in_ the course of a few,weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, .&c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed atone from the , good opinion and 'testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newg - ate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The Hinckford Conservative and Agricultural Club, one of the most important political societies in the. eastern counties, celebrated its anniversary ' last evening at C as tl e kedingham near this town. The proceedings are no t mere ly devoted to after dinner speeches, as deserving labourers are not for gotten by the society, which offers rewards of the character usually in vogue - in the agricultural dis tricts. The dinner of the members in 'the evening was very numerously attended. The chair was ably occu pied by Mr. T. Miller, M.P. for Colchester, who was supported by the Right Hon. W. Beresford, M.P.; Mr. - C. Du Cane, M.P. ; Sir W. B. Smijth, late M.P. for South Essex -; Mr. 0. S. Onley, Sir C. de Cres pigny, Mr. A. Majendie, the Rev. J. Cox, and other gentlemen of influence in the neighbourhood, After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. 0. S. OX LEY proposed the "Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," expressing a hope amid loud - applause ' that no " hateful innovations" would be introduced intoo - the church. The Rev. Mr.-FisiiEß acknowledged the - conipli. ment. • The CHAIRMAN proposed the " Army and Navy," to which, Colonel S. B. R. BRTsE responded, and propbsed " Her 11ralesty's Ministers"—(loud cheers)—whom ~ h e warmly complimented on their vigorous yet 'temperate foreign: policy, their encouragement of social improvement, and their financial ability. The Government were now directing their attention to the question of Parliamentary reform, and he would ask whether the present state of that question was satisfactory ? Was it not.the fact that at present the counties had only 144 members, while the boroughs :had :319, although each county member represented 3,263: electors,. while each. berough member represented only 1,220? Was this a fair and just representation? Then, as to the wealth of the constituencies, the income-tax returns showed that each county - member represented £04,000,000, while each boroiigh member _ only represented £32,000,000. The toast was drunk with - three:times three and one cheer more. • - • _ mr. A. MAJENDIE proposed the healths of the members for North .EsSex—MajOr Beresford and Mr. Du Cane. (Loud and , long-continued cheers.) At the close of his addiesS Mr. Majendiesuggested. that the society should promote a conservative de monstration to which gentlemen from Suffolk might he admitted, and that the meeting should take .place: in Hedinghain, Castle. • The toast - experienced a cordial response, and Major BERESFORM on *sing, to' respond, was received 'with loud cheers: - He said--=-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, - it is crow eleven y ears since I first rose in this room : to 'return thanks for this toast ? and the flattering. manner in- which you have now received it proves that I hold still some Place in your feelings of regard and esteein, that your kind. and •friendly disposition to me remains Still unimpaired, although - my 'abilities to perforM my duties may have suffered somewhat . from the lapse of time. Since the. prorogation I have had an apportunity'of addressing a large portion of that constituency of North Essex to which I feel so de voted an attachnient ; and. I nave had the means:of Stating my views and opinions on isolated points . Which were appropriate at the meeting to which they were addressed, and which were topics of con versation at that time. But I have ever regarded this annual meeting of your club at Castle Heding ham as a fit occasion and an: appropriate place where you may expect - that yoUr representatives should enter hilly into the, events of the -past ses sion, and should give an account of the part which they have taken in the proceedings and labours of 3 ,trliament. When We met in this room last Octo ber, we were in the full turmoil and anxiety natu rally incident to the Indian rebellion. Our brave troops despatched froth. this country for the pur pose of suppressing it were only approaching the scenes of their strenuous efforts . and gallant triumphs. I Was fully impressed with . an un bounded confidence in their efficiency, _their zeal, and ether Valour rbut, nevertheless, I could not but entertain some feeling of apprehension at the ex tent of the emergency and . the crisis. Impressed with this -feeling, I considered it my duty to state my intention of tendering , my humble support to the Ministry 'then at the helm of affairs--(hear)--- T--because they were upholding the dignity and honour of the country under ,dangerous and diffi eult Circumstances.. (Cheers ) Lord Palmerston Showed at that timepromptitUde, vigour, and a de termination to maintain the power of our country in the East, and the - integrity of our empire. , I, therefore, tendered him my support--rny honest and independent support freely offered; not. as a ministerial hanger-on, as in general politics I was still an - opponent of his lordship, but as an honest vindicator of the honour of England and the inte grity of the empire. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, from other circumstances Lord Palmerston's Government . Was overthrown, and a new one was installed in its place. They were called upon to restore our sii. 7 pre= ey of rule in the East, to restore order throughout our vast Indian empire, to punish those Miscreants who had embrued their treacherous hands in the blood of our officers, women, and in nocent children ; to reward the faithful who had remained true to their allegiance ; and, lastly , to extend= forgiveness to mos t of those who, although guilty in many points, did not mingle in or parti cipate in the 'dreadful _at roc iti es committed. Under these difficult circumstances I thought it right to transfer that support which .I. had tendered to Lord Palmerston, from. whom I differed politically on malty points, to Lord Derby, with whom I agreed in mast. I wish that I could add, as I once added, in all points ; but I cannot do so. I honestly con fess this. I cannot conceal from myself, and I should not be candid - if I endeavoured to conceal from you, that in' some few points I cannot sympa thise with all the measures which have emanated from, and every principle which has been supported. by, the present Government since it acceded to power. I have listened attentively to what has _been said- in regard to-this point in this room to night, and I say here, now, upon the spur of the moment,. that lam vain enough to think that in any point in which a difference of opinion does exist, I have not repudiated so much my former political creed and political promises as her Majesty's Go- Vernment has done_ (Hear.) Neverthless, I am not afraid . to say openly that I have sup ; ported that Government when I could ; and I shall continue to give them my support as long as they ad here to Conservative measures and Conservative principles. (Hear, hear.) When Parliament met in February last two measures engrossed entirely, I may say, public attention. They were the As sassination Bill and the bill for transferring the dominion of India from the East India Company .to the Crown. The Ministers brought forward , these two measures in the full and not unnatural confidence that they would be able to carry both triumphantly. I must acknowledge that when I first saw the announcement of the Assassination Bill I felt a very great repugnance to it, if I may use the word. I looked into it, and the more I examined it the more I thought there was a good deal of danger in entertaining it; and I felt certain that a very considerable amount of difficulty and anxiety must be. entertained with regard to the passing of the bill, because if we passed it we were establishing a precedent .of giving way in this country to our legislative.enactments, and of being d ifnot by the menaces guide • and actual threats of a foreign power, at least of altering the laws of England to please a foreign power. This I thought was a most dangerous principle, which ought to be resisted. There were circumstances also at the moment which materially added force to this im pression. The French Government had recently given a very extended and official circulation to certain military addresses which were presented to the Emperor after the most barbarous, dangerous,. and bloodthirsty attack upon his person. Those addresses, which were published officially in the Moniteztr, were full of the most fanfaronading menaces to this country from military bodies, and were conceived in the worst spirit ;. and yet in the face of these productions, just made public ; Lord Palmerston chose to press his measure upon the English legislature. I own .that I was amazed to see such a measure come from Lord Palmerston of all statesmen, as I had always censidered hiS chief and great merit was, that of all statesmen he was most ready to stand forth to maintain the prestige and defend the pre-eminence of our country in the eyes of the world. However; :Lord Palmerston failed in this matter, and with the views and. Sentiments I entertained on the -subject I deter mined that I would not even vote in favour of the ad - Mission of the bill. I took this resolution , notwithstanding that I knew that a large body of the Conservatives; with ninny of whom I Conversed on the subject, were determined to support the in troduction of the bill. The division list proved the fact - that a number Of our,party were in favour of the measure ; and the leader of the OppositiOn, Mr. Disraeli, if I rememeer right--I am Only speaking from. memory--cencluded . a speech he made in favour of the bill hy'saying thathe approved of it because it was not opposed to the maintenance of the rights and privileges of Englishmen. I received the measure. in a diametrically different light, and consequently voted against it. We voted a very -small minority, and there were only about 20 Con servatives in our lobby, but in that lobby_ was one who-is here to-night,- and who voted like a true honest En glishman. I _mean my hon. frie n d M r . Du Cane. When the next stage of the bill came on we had a triumphthe great body of the Conser vatives coming over and adopting. Mr. Milner. Gib son's amendment. The present GOVernment when they attained power afterwards dropped the mea sure altogether, and did not continue the thing far ther. I don't know whether, they took the idea from n' countryman - of mine—a good, honest' Irish man, who took a very hot potato out of the pot one day to stay his voracious appetite. (Laughter.) However-they dropped the measure, -thereby con firming the justice of but conduct in voting against the introduction of the bill ; and I am very glad and come before my constituents and say that I voted on .that occasion -solely. on..conviction, and I trust in consonance and accordance - with their views. (Cheers.) I have one Word more to say on this point. heard last year. that I was con sidered too ready to give support to Lord Palmer ston. But let us look at the facts. The very first measure brought fOrW ardimmediately after the opening of Parliament was not in consonance with my feelings, and I voted against it because I did not think it was worthy the prestige and honour of England and ought not to besupported by English votes.- The-next measure to which I alluded was the India Bill,. to transfer power and -dominion -in the East to the crown from that company which had car ried On' with WOnderful - ability as a - commercial company for a century. When the first division on the bill broughVin by Lord Palmerston's Govern ment was. about to take place it - was. my determina tion to go down and to vote with the Government in favoUr of the measure ; but I did not d 6 so, not from any change of, feeling, or change of purpose, but frOm a. severe attack of the gout suddenly seii ing me and-conVning me-to bed. I tried to pair, but they soon found I was immovable, and consequently Would-not pair -with me._ When the government of Lord 'Palmerston was turned ; out .and a new. one. installed in its place:it was announced from autho rity that - the Conservative Government intended to transfer dominion in India from the Company to the CnyWri, but thatthey intended to- do so in as bill of their own; I will- not weary you by going into all the vicissitudes .of the bill..brought in by Lord Derby's Government, and all the changes and alie. rations made in it. In the • general course of that Measure through the house I gave the - present Go vernment my' support; and coidially voted with them - on several occasions; but - when.the bill was in committee I acknowledge that I absented myself on some Occasions, not from idleneas,.. but delibe rately and..with malice aforethought,.if I may use the expression.. I decidedly differed • with the Go vernment on the desirability of certain clauses in committee, although I have the greatest repugnance to vote in direct opposition to the party- with-whore I have been•so long- and • s o - -intimately- connected,. when I can possibly vote in • their favour: (Hear, hear.)' will only_entet* into one point, which I think a material one, and...Whieh..wak.diacussed when'the India Bill introduced by lord Derby's,, Government was - in committee: •It was a very pro minent point; and one which is now in some - degree embodied in • the, bill. It ;was• that part of the bill which makes: a portion of the '''' adm.' miS.trative ele ment subject to election. My opinion on the sub ject is founded upon this—that by the constitution of this country, all administrative power and office is vested with the Crown. The Crown appoints indiviivals to fill the various offices and to admini ster them, subject to their being bound to give .an account to the country of the way in which they perform their- executive duties. Now I COuld not support that ptinciple which , was tried to be engrafted in that bill, viz., the taking one portion of theadminietrative council, to whom great powers and great patronage are attached, away from the. nomination of the Crown, and giving the power of electing them to -large constituencies, as proposed and actually embodied' in the bill first brought in, or to the East India Company, as at last 'enacted. It was upon this subject that I so greatly differed with her Majesty's Government; but the billis now law ; the Council has been elected, has met, and is presided over by a youthful but highly talented chief—one who never permits, and never will per mit, his own business, much less his own pleasure,. to interfere with - the discharge of duty, and whose talents are only surpassed- by his unwearied dili genee. (Hear, hear.) . In such hands I sincerely believe the results will be prosperous. I think we have no reason to doubt that under such auapices tranquillity will semi be restored in our Eastern ' dominions, that geed government and justice will. be extended throughout the. vast extent of our In dian empire,. and that the name of our Sovereiirn will be associated in the East with an increase of liberty and with a greater feeling of security, and consequently of confidence in her sway ;' arid last, but not least, I hope that the Christian religion no longer may remain in that anomalous position it has hitherto occupied. (Cheers.) Another subject, gentlemen, which has been Mooted this year at, every public meeting of which I have_ read an-ac count, and with regard to which it inc..3b - c!. that I am to tell you a great deal about, is the pro mised Reform Bill. However, you will get very little out of me on the subject.. (Laughter.) I have not committed myself on that subject hitherto, and Ido not intend' to do so. The reason why I say - so, and why I take that course is, that however much it may be talked of, and however much it may be mooted at so many places, the subject is yet, as they say on the turf, a dark one. You might as well talk of the winner of the Derby next year as of what this Reform Bill will be; and under these circumstances I shall .wait for an authorised version of the bill. When it is produced I trust and believe that I shall act in that way which, in my opinion; - will be most advantageous for the great interests of the nation, and, at the same time; for the benefit of my constituents. I have heard a' great - deal said about this bill, and if, it only rea lises what has been said about it, it will be a most wonderful measure, and -a miraculous piece of legis . lotion ; for I have'seen it stated at - two or three meetings that it is to suit all claSSes and .please, all parties. (Laughter.) Now, if this is really the nature of the bill, good gracionsi let as pass it by all means by acclamation ; but it strikes me, at the same time, if this- Parliament does enact a bill pleaaing to all parties, and worthy of all commen dation, it is hardly fair that it should be immedi ately afterwards exterminated. I cannot under stand 'the justice of extinguishing- a Parliament under such circumstances. On the contrary, I think that if this bill is of the character which it is stated, it will be a very sufficient and strong con tradiction of the character which they will probably give . themselves in the preamble of the measure, which is to be - the act of-their extermination. (A laugh.) In conelusion,.Major Beresford stated that many other topics' in which' the company might take an interest, came within the province of his colleague, Mr. Du Cane, who had greatly distin guished himself in the house ; and having denied for his own part a suspicion, which he was informed a few individuals [entertained, that he had some Whig tendencies, the right hon, and gallant mem ber resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Mr. Du' CANE,• M.P., expressed his opinion that the present meeting was held under brighter aus pices both as regards the prospects of the - country • at large and the fortunes of the Conservative party. Without pledging himself in the slightes t degree to abstract theories; Or to the details of any measure of referm . which. might or might notbe of ibroight forward, for at this-moment the measur e parlia mentary reform was very much in . the position of the Spanish fleet in the play of the Critic, " The Spanish fleet we cannot see Becanse it is not yet in sight—" he . ,ewioluisldsuvpellntomrietotounsytauiteeutshurate h o ew n tohuled subjectgladl give whichr ean compriseddju ie ions extensiononother e . f t the provisio ns coun y- franchise, mode rate. h6oidlseeei, andeu ele mentsheld f e o d u u t e a u t o e i t i t ; e i r nte a l n li d ge f n a c i e r , el p . ro se p o e p rt e y t , o and num bersm than they at present possessed.

The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that it was predicted the new disease, diptherite, consisting of small ash-coloured ulcers in the interior of the throat, attended 'by fever, often fatal, 'might be arrested by the same means, and such has. been the ease. This disease, in its first stage, seems even more amenable to Holloway's .oint.- Ment and Pills than the simpler forms of inflammatory sore throat, WRECKS IN TORRES STRAITS: The brig. Shamrock arrived here from Copang Island of Tinior, - oii the - 19th Of July, and brought . intellgence of-the loss of- several vessels in Torres Straits: - - One was, merely 'reported as a vessel with horses from Sydney, and was supposed to '"be the Wanata, - but -by subsequent . information , which reached this port- a few days ago, it appears that the ship was the ChesterhOlme from Hobart TOwn, with 'horSA for Bombay ; all hands were saved. The only information respecting the second vessel is, that sho-was a• large American ship, and that her crew, as well as that of the ship with horses, were picked up in Torres Straits by Captain Carew, while on .his vo;tac-c from New Zealand to Hong Kona. .•• Of the Magda we have - more definite par ticulars, the captain and a• portion of • the crew having -arrived by the Shamrock. The Magda was from Geelong, bound to Java; on June Ist, at 6.30 a.m., she struck on a • reef off Cape Van Die men dnring,the mate's-watch on deck, and in order to facilitate any probability of getting her off, cargo 'and ballad Were diScharged, and the vessel divested- of all " top-hamper;' during. the ps night ou m : t e li ;.b. e t ht iV he il lt :a she nd re, inelti gained.so s N r a o e n n d st ihd t e l e i nr c a. cutAbll a d ui a vi ao l yena,,led but this proving of no avail, it became necessary to abandon - the ship ;" two boats were got out, the captain,,seepnd mate,- seven of the crew, and two passengers going in one ; the ,mate,- nine . of the ship's company, and one passenger in the other boat. i e imsnmobtphenors Alligator'ssmoli bc tlrmheo. monsters, On tßtie c hi r a i ajs‘p, June from! n a eof f n bmieu t cl r ttt i ih e n tried gfft lat which aoes.

Afterwards, the boat was -driven from the land, but twice endea voured to get on shore for, the purpose ofprocuring water ; on each occasion this was rendered ineffec tual; first, by the heavy surf, and again by the gathering of a quantity of blacks upon the coast. The men had then been three days without - Water, and it was considered advisable again to steer sea ward, under the hope of falling in with some ves sels. In making the land again on the 10th, the boat stranded on Ashmore's Bank, at 30.8 p.m. ; all the clothes the crew had saved, and everything else that' could with prudence be parted with were thrown overboard to lighten the boat, which was hauled three miles along the rocks ; they succeeded in launching her again, and on June 18th, in lat. 11.45 south, and long. 121.25 east; they fell in with the brig Shamrock. -Capt.

THE EARL OF HARD WICKE ON OU NATIONAL DEFENCES. KNEESWORTH, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, . "-- -7 SATURDAY. At the ninth annual dinner of the Western Cam bridgeshire Agricultural. Association, held here, amongst those present were the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord George planners, the High-Sheriff (Mr. C. R. Pemberton), the Kon. and Venerable Archdeacon Yorke, the Rev. Veriion,Harcourt, &c. The Earl of HARDWICRE, in responding to the toast - of "The Naty,"Temarked that it was in gene ral customary in this country to propose ‘,‘ The Army and the - Navy"in that-order of precedence, why it was difficult to Say, as this our sea-girt isle mainly owed its protection to our " wooden walls." (Loud cheers.) If he might venture to assign - a reason, it would be,.because the army, as a service, was more immediately under the direction of the Crown— ' under the control of the Sovereign., With regard to the body-for which it was his duty to return thanks, .inasmuch as he:was either at the head of the Rear-Admi ra l'S list, or at the bottom of the Vice-Admiral's—he really,did not know , which--- (laughter)—he would. venture t o make ,a, few re marks ; and he would first - observe that every mem ber of the service felt deeply grateful for the .com plimentary and appropriate way in which thattoast was received in all - social and political societies. The professionto which it was his pride to belong ,was perhaps More important to this - country than any other. He would not . s a y th at all had not their duties .to perform ; but if there was one prO fesSion in which.- more than another Englishmen - took a deep and prominent interest, he believed it was that represented by the toast .justgjven by thc t ; chairman. (Cheers.) They should remember that' they lived in it country surrounded by water, and that the protection'of their country, their com merce, and their trade depended upon their floating batteries, on the character of the officers who commanded; and the efficient equipment of their fleets by. the State. (Cheers.) - Ail • the Ministers this country had ever had had admitted that the provision for the maintenance of this service was of the deepest interest It was not alone the securing a proper number of hands to man our,fleets, but these required an enormous revenue to support them in that state of efficiency which was absolutely necessary for the Safety—he might almost say the existence of this country, but he might safely say for its 'existence .as a first-rate Power. The navy_ as a profession rant be cherished, and they must not be—it wotildbefalse economy to be-,-niggardly in its support. The circumstances he was about to relate might not .perhaps be' known to them, en;- . ., gaged as they were in agriculture , but it was - now time that the__ people of this' country were made aware of the condition of that see mice upon which their safety principally depended. He was not alluding to any- -particular nation when he said that, taking into consideration the condition of the fleets of other countries, it was high time we pre pared for any difficulty that might arise by looking keenly to the - state and. condition, to the efficiency Of our naval defences. (Cheers.) It was highly necessary, he repeated, though he did not believe that-any of the nations of Europe, highly civilised as they flaw, were—high' as :their : social condition now was—he did not believe,.he said, that any one of those nations would turn bucaneers man - fake a piratical deScent upon our-coasts—the coasts o a country whose only duty it now - was - to advance the condition of mankind and whose only object, as avowed,was to retain its own—(cheers)—and was not, if it ever was, actuated by an aggressive policy. (Cheers.) This was now a country that simply asked to be enabled to carry on the pursuit of in dustry and virtue, to put to the boat advantage the great gifts which Almighty God had bestowed upon her, and create a bond of brotherhood and friend kihip with all other nations. (Cheers.) At the same time we should be prepared at any moment to show that we Were resolved. to vindicate -mir honour and character if attacked, and to give our gallant, sons the opportnnity of exhibiting that prowess which ever had, and, he said it emphatically ever would distinguish ,theni. The: .condition of the British navy was now such as it had never been in the times of their sires ; and, though such condition was to be regretted, still it did not arise from any neglect on the part of the Government, but by reason of the improvement daily making in science and art—in the mode and regulation of the conduct of the affairs of the maritime world. It arose alone from the introduction of steamships ; it this which had such an effect upon the condi tion of our navy. • The introduction of steam had, as it were, - created in maritime matters a clean sheet of paper over the whole world, and had called upon, all nations to begin again in nautical matters. They might consider that sailing ships were struck out as gilie of Wiir, the - Ugh of course they were 'still fitter for means of transit and for mercantile purp.oses where economy was an object and time of comparatively small consequence, with regard to floating bodies upon the water. For the purposes, of war, however, sailing vessels. were at an end, and 'had been since 1850, when they first began to pro .'pel'ships of war - by the screw system. Since that time the nations Of the world had beglin to create new navies. He must say, and impress it upon them, that he believed the 'condition of our navy to be weaker than at any period, certainly absolutely weaker than.that- of some, great Powers near us; and_ though thevote-given by Parliament might be considered large, still. they 'must open their purses, and giVe more to put the Government in a position to. do justice to the brave men who were ready to embrace the public service. He felt justified in enlarging upon this subject, as he was sure it N-,.as ouf, that •-.-A; I 1 :i:yjn picas i tSell upon the public mind. Those who. condwcted :the affairs of the important naval profession were not altogether - settled in their minds as to the most expedient way of laying out the public money in the way best calculated _to promote the public good, for so rapid was the progress of science and. so variable the minds of - inventors, that not six months elapsed without some change. This led to great difficulties, for no sooner was produced what was thought complete, than a step in advance was introduced, and frequently what had been done had to be undone. Improve ments were introduced. not only in the construc tion of ships of war, but also in the most economical way of-producing them. It was but the other day • that it was.his duty to visit the different ports in the country on a tour of inspection, with a view to report on the state of the navy, and he then had opportunities of seeing experiments madewhich had proved to him the miserable inefficiency of our pre sent ships for war purposes. He meant the ships built of wood. Experiments were tried on the side of an oak-built frigate, which was plated with iron in sections in various ways. On one part wasplaced a sheet of iron four inches thick, wrought in her :Majesty's dockyard ; another section was plated with iron four inches in thickness, but in different plates, the . one over the other ; then there were plates of iron covered with indiarubber 10 inches thick, and various other . , preparations. The frigate was laid_ off a battery, and fired upon with 68- pounders charged with 161 b. of powder. The result was that the iron first mentioned broke every shot as if they were dust, and all the other sheathings were shot through as though they were rotten eggs. The bit of iron four. inches- thick wrought in the common way resisted the fire of those heavy gulls - for several hours, and hewould put it to intelligent minds what .a revulsion such a fact as that must at once create not only in the state and condition.but in the form of our floating bodies destined for war , purposes. Constructed in the ordinary manner' they could not possibly carry the weight of their iron sides together with their guns, so they must 'e duce or cut down their top sides. It was surprising that this material had never been thought of before to cover the sides of ships of war, but when the idea did occur it occurred to two or three at . the same moment, though _he believed that the compliment for its first introduction was (be 'to the present Elm: peror of the French, who coupled itwith the screw. propeller. If, then, we intended to be, as we always had been, the most formidable maritime P ower in' the world—and if we wer e not ' t h at we must sink into a second-rate PoWer, inasmuch as in • ships of the line we. were already i n f er i or - to other nations— they must not be surprised if GoVernment asked them for sums of money stiffic, E ierit to, place the navy_ av on the footing in which every n, sh man wished to see it. (Cheers.) It had been the practice very much of late on the part' of writers who chiefly instructed and led the public, and . for whom he entertained the highest respect, to " puff up" the condition of the navy, and lead the people to believe that it was the finest in the world, and also to lead the publiC to believe that. England's navy Nv6 a, most. important item .in effecting a settle ment of the late war with Russia. It was no suck thing. In the late war our, maritime power had been comparatively nothing.
