By hie systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

The CHAIRMAN opened the 'Proceedings by re ferring to the fact that the City of London at pre sent- possessed a revenue of £200,000 per annum, exclusive of the local taxation. The great question was, whether the ratepayers of the outlying dis tricts were' to be taxed for th ose improvements of the City of London ,`which it would cost several millions to carry out. The City of Landon eon- . tributed one-tenth to the expenses -of the Metropo litan Board, but the City had'obtained the lion's share, amounting to no less than 7-10ths of the cost of City improvements. The members of the Metropo. litan Board were all selected from thedistriethoardij and, if that hoard acted in a manner contrary to the interests or wishes of their constituents, it would be for those constituents, at the proper time, to infuse fresh blood into the representative system. Mr. Tims;oN (of Kensington) thought it was of the utmost importance, to carry out. improvements and widen streets in the, City of London, as the whole of •the metropolis received benefit thereby. He considered, however, that, with the coal dues and other means at their command, the City ought to be able to carry out those improvements. It was bt a 3h d , ‘e i t•-ifairr;L:tiArgfgy:Eptruspotoel resour c es,sireti a n r n‘ s ,e ; dit a ohi t at t e d r Idcv i mtiotsfNyvtlaiolsrnuogeerlk'tlithsd ,noten evident t io ha ; t 7e , c l e v i i r t e h only recently that the City refused to part with the 'open space near St. Pant's to the Government on the l arg e st share of the sum voted for improvements ' at the various district boards took measures to watch the future proceeding's of the Metropolitan Board. With regard to the subject for which the conference had been coni - ened, it had been said that the City had. !t*tiosived. the. -lion's . share, but in order. to he just they Tritest acknowledge, that the City was the -Mr. ROSE, of St. Martin's, observed the majority of the Metropolitan Board had agreed to a certain . course of action, and the present meeting was intended to vindicate the opinion of the minority with reference to the sum appropriate(' to the City improvements. It.had been said that the City had the coal dues, but this was an.error, astwo-thirds of the amount received by the City as coal dues was paid to the Government. It must be borne in mind that the City was the centre of the commerce, not only of the metropolis, but of the nation, and it was therefore not unjust that the whole of the metropolis should contribute more than an average portion for City improvements. It was a great delusion that the City possesseeenormous revenues to carry out improvements. Why, Cannon -street had cost £2,000,000 of money, and the New Cattle Market had entaile(l a loss of £lO,OOO. , They ought not to lose. sight of the fact that the metropolis itself was one vast. city, and it (right not to be re , - ferred to such a meeting, as the present to call over the coals - the decision of the Metropolitan Board. (Oh, oh.) It was no honour to be a member of that bo ird, but entailed a wait amount of labour •and anxiety on the part of gentlemen 'elected to the office. Their reward was to be bullied by the press, - bullied by their constituents, and what tbr ? Why, it was very probr.ble that no. member of that boatel had ever read the blue- - books published on the question of sewerage during the time of the old Commissioners of Sewers. The Metropolitan Board acted to the best of its judgment, although many of its members might be comparatively ignorant on the question of drainage. (Hear.) The City of Lemon members of that ,board were astute ,men of busines s , but th e other member s o f the board were sufficient to counteract any influence on the- part of the City members • that might tend to prejudice the other districts of the metropolis. Mr. NEWTON, Mile-end, was at a loss to know what the last speaker intended to convey. The fact that the City was the centre of commerce proved the value of property, anti that the City parishes ought in reality to assist the outlying parishes, rather than the reverse.• Mr. WADE, Greenwich, as one of the former Commissioners of Sewer , , must remark that lie knew the ysteni of drainage now being carried out by the Metropolitan Board had been sanctioned by the late Mr. Stephenson and the Most eminent engineers. With regard to the subject before the meeting, it was most unjust that the City should receive such a proportion of the fund award( d. Why, every outlying parish' would like to carry out improvements, but they had to pay fin. them. Dr. Tructnan, of Kensington,- Messrs. Johnsen, Collins, and other delegateS addressed the meeting condemnatory of the' Coot se pursued by the Metro politan Board; and ultimately, on the motion of Mr. Austin, a ventilation was adopted setting forth the injustice o f a pp ropr i at i ng t h e funds of the out-, lying parishe s to the payment of an undue proper- - lion of the cost of improvements in other parishes. - It was also resolved to forward a copy of the reso- - lotion to each member of the Metropolitan Board. The meeting then separated. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. lazaretto here, or depot ship, for unfortunates in quarantine, which will explain to you why, if finally refused pratique, on we must go with our steamer. What finally becomes of us you will learn in a future letter. This one is about to leave, and will not, I hope, be refused admission into the Cadiz letter-bag because it has not been vaccinated. Insulated as we are, I have been able to obt a i n hut little information about the expedition to Africa. What appears to me certain is that the Spaniards have chosen a most unfavourable season for com mencing the war. The winter in the north of Mo rocco is generally extremely wet ; deluges of rain descend, and find little admission from the almost impervious clay soil, which must resemble, if the accounts I receive of it be correct, in its toughness and tenacity, the stiff boggy soil of the Crimea. There arc no roads, the fatigues of 'the army will be great, and it is likely to suffer much from dis ease. When we add to this the harassing attacks of the Moors, we get an amount of difficulties which were probably not altogether anticipated by , arose who selected the end of November for open ing the campaign. As regards the state of prepara tion of the Moors I get very conflicting informa— tion, but Tangiers, there seems reason to belieVe, is in a good state of defence. On this account some think that the first point of attack will be Tetuan, which is easier to reach than Tangiers by land from Ceuta. It is thought that Zabala's corps (the 2d, now quartered about Cadiz), and the general-in-chief and staff, will go hence to Martin, the port of Te tuan, which is a short distance from the coast. Tetuan is not ,a, fort ified town, and might probable be easily taken. 'his corps will, it is said, embark in two divisions,• O'Donnell accompanying the second. Such are the reports that reach us. With respect to the affair of the 190, in front of Ceuta, one hears very conflicting and probably exaggerated rumours. Sonic Moorish prisoners are said to have been taken. The loss of the Spaniards is stated to have been very Small. It is thought probable that the Moors will not make any great efforts to defend frontier and coast places and positions, but will try to lyre their opponents into the interior, where the difficulties of the Spaniards will be increased and the African cavalry will have a good field of action. This is perhaps a mere surmise, but it is likely enough to prove correct. If the Spaniards are wise. they will not allow them Selves to be seduced far inland. Their first object should be to establish themselves strongly at one or two points on or near the coast, whence their communications with Spain may be easily maintained, and where they may collect the large quantities of supplies indispensable to the very existence of their army.

At the close of the inquiry by the Board of Trade, Mr. Mansfield said his colleague and himself en tirely concurred in everything which had fallen from the learned counsel with reference to the heroic gallantry shown, not merely by the captain and crew, but also by the passengers, of the Royal Charter up to' the last moment. Everyone ap• peared to have done his duty, even with almost certain death before him, intrepidly and unflinch ingly to the last. Perhaps a nobler spectacle was never witnessed,, except in the memorable case of the wreck of the Birkenhead; and it was even perhaps more remarkable in the case of ordinary passengers of the middle and bumbler ranks of life, whose conduct was such as to make one proud of being their countrymen. Notwithstanding what had taken place in that court during the very long inquiry, he understood that some persons still per severed in .the most malignant imputations against the late Captain Taylor, with reference to his sobriety. It is well known that the Board of Trade had been most anxious to receive any communica tions whatever which bore on the inquiry. Indeed the Post-office had been like the lion's mouth in Venice, from the number of accusations which had been dropped into it. The Board of Trade invited every ,person who had any communication to make or suggestion to offer to appear before them. Nothing of the kind bad been brought forward. On the contrary, some names had been given as authorities for that most malignant imputation, but the parties, on being referred to, entirely denied it. It seemed there fore so groundless that Mr. O'Dowd, in his, opening, declined going into it. The whole story was en tirely groundless, and he (Mr. Mansfield) should not even mention it in his report to the Board of Trade. There can be no doubt that Captain Taylor was a gallant and bravo seaman, and it could only be from the vilest malignty, or some other un worthy motive, that an attempt was made to leave a stigma upon his character in that respect. The following were the remarks of Mr. Aspinall, to which Mr. Mansfield referred . " As long as it continued dark Captain Taylor evidently thought it was safer to wait for daylight than to make any attempt by boat or otherwise in such a sea to reach an un known coast. As soon as the light came a communication was established under the orders of the officers with the shore by means of the heroic conduct of the Maltese Rogers. But for the unexpected breaking up of the ship tits bravery of that mu would probably have saved almost every one on board. " When the hawser was passed from the ship to the shore there was presented a picture than which it is difficult to conceive anything more illustrative of the nobleness of Bri tish seamen. " Not a man attempted to get to land except by order of the officers. MCSSOllg'Ol',l Were; despatched I . , r the women and children; at that moment the ship broke up. When that . was told to the chief officer, Mr. Stephens, he left the hawser and went aft in the direction where the females were, and was doubtless lost in trying to.reach them. Even at that frightful moment we have in evidence that the fourth officer, Mr. Croome, and the crew spent some twenty minutes in trying to save the only female in the forepart of the ship. As regards the conduct of the passengers,—up to this time the conduct of the soldiers on board the Birkenhead who kept their ranks until the ship went down has been thought, the greatest heroism on record, but if it wero possible that that should - be exceeded at all, it is so now, because here we have amass of persons not subject to command, or habituated to discipline, men, _women and children behaving in the ' most admirable manner, and showin g- an amount of courage and n total absence of selfishness which ought to make every Englishman proud of his countrymen."

A dinner took place at the Royal Oak-roam, Cannon strcef, on Monday evening last; on the occasion of the pre sentation of a testimonial to Mr. E. T. Way, the superin tendent of the South-Easternailway Company's station at Dover, as a mark of the high esteem in which he is held, not only by his fellow-townsmen, but by all those whose business has:brought them in contact with him in his official capacity, and who have experienced his urbanity and re ceived at his hands every kindness and consideration. It is unnecessary for us to say that such a mark of regard must be exceedingly flattering to the individual who is the object of it; and we doubt not that the occasion of its pre sentation will ever be remembered by him with pride and satisfaction. The testimonial, which was supplied by Mr. Bacon, of king-street, and did him great credit, con sisted Of a handsotne silver cup and salver, with a purse of £2OO, and bore the following inscription : —" This silver cup and salver, together with a purse of £2OO, was presented to Mr. E. T. Way, superintendent of the South-Eastern Railway at Dover, by numerous friends, as a.special mark of respect and esteem. Nov. 21, 1859." At the dinner, which was well served, and comprised numerous and excellent dishes, in which the ability of mine host of the Oak (Mr. Philpot), as a caterer to the gastrono mic taste of his guests was universally acknowledged, about 50 gentlemen sat down. The chair was filled by W. Mozon, Esq., who was supported on his right by Mr. Way, the Rev. W. Yate, and Major Barnard, and on his left by the Rev. T. B. W. Briggs, D. White, Esq. (one of the officials of the South-Eastern Railway), &c. Dr. Morgan officiated as the *ice-chairman. Upon the removal of the cloth, " The Queen " was given and loyally responded to, followed by the " Health of the Prince of Wales, the Prince Consort, and the rest of the Royal Family," the chairman remarking in reference to the youthful Prince, that the country ought to be exceedingly happy in having so good and pransing a king in perspective. (Cheers.) The VICE-CHAIRMAN next gave " The Army and Navy," observing that it was not his intention to occupy the time of those presone by any comment, and, indeed, were he se disposed he should be lacking in the ability to p ass a fit eulogi t arn upon those two gre a t services of our country, He should, therefore, merely call upon them to drink to the army and navy, coupling with the toast the name of the gallant Major Barnard. The toast hoving been patriotically responded to, Major 134.11NARD role to respond. It devolved upon him to return thanks for the two services, as he, it appeared, was the only representative of either of them present ; bbf he should have been very glad to have s .seen amongst the compan f a j o lly goo d o ld sa il or, who could have spoken up for the sister service—the navy. At the present time, when there were wars and rumours of wars and tumults, and when an invasion was threatening the land, permit him to say, as his honest conviction, thatevory man who was capable of taking any share in the defence of the country, would do well to join himself to a volunteer corps, and in a town like Dover, situated as it was upon the sea coast, and where there were a number of batteries re quiring to be manned, it wa,i Particularly desirable that an artillery corps should be formed. He recommended the men of Dover to enrol themselves as gunners, aad they. would be useful men in case of a seige ; should such a cala mity ever happen to us, they would be obliged to serve at the guns whether they liked it or not, and therefore it would be much better to tender their services voluntarily. God helping'the right, he did not believe that old England would ever have to submit to a foreign foe setting his foot upon her shores. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave the " Clergy of all denomina tions of Christians," coupling therewith the name of the Rev. W. Yate. Ho trusted, for the sake of that worthy gentleman, that tho toast would be drunk with all hearti ness The toast was well received. Th,e., Bev. W. YATE begged to thank them most cordially for the kind way in which they had been pleased to receive the toast., In reference to Mr. Way, he could only state that he had known him now about 14 years, and he had never met a person for whom ho had a greater respect and esteem. . (Hear.) He was also quite sure, from what had fallen under his notice when.in attendance at the railway station, that the travelling public felt likewise a great re- - spect forhim ; indeed it could scarcely be otherwise, for ho was always kind and attentive to every one. It was true that ho some ti mes h a d an unpleasant duty; to perform, but then it was invariably performed in so pleasant a manner as in a great measure to remove the unpinasantness from those who Might happen to be the objects of it. (Applaase.) He expressed a hope, in conclusion, that the excellent testimo nial of 200 sovereigns woulel be as useful to Mr. Way as the cup and salver would be ornamental. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN having called upon the company to charge their glasses with bumpers, rose to perform the most important duty devolving upon him that evening; and while expressing his 'regret that the task had not fallen into abler hands trusted that they would bear with him and take , the will for the deed. It was now for him to present to Mr. Way the. : handsome cup and salver, together with that which the cup contained, and which altogether he believed approached in value to something like £250. After this, he thought he need say but very little with regard to the estimation in which that gentleman was held by all who had boon brought in contact with him, as the fact spoke for itself. Ho (the chairman) had not had the pleasure of knowing Mr.' Way for so many years as had most of the gentlemen composing that meeting, his acquaintance being liinited to the comparatively brief period of five years; but this he could say, that during the time referred to he had experienced from him a very great deal of kindness, both in his official. capacity and in his private life—(applause)--' and ho had no hesitation in saying that those who had formed a more extended intimacy with Mr. Way had ex perienced a larger share of kindness, from the simple fact of having known him longer. But, in order to show how universally respected was Mr. Way, he would only refer them to the list of subscribers to the testimonial, by which they would perceive that his friends were not confined to Dover alone, lint were spread abroad over the land. (Hear, hear.) The presentation of this handsome testimonial ould redound to his honour to the day of his death, and he trusted that the recipient would ever remember the oc casion of their assembling around the festive board that 'evening. He (the chairman) made the presentation with a great deal of pleasure, and hoped Mr. Way would live Many years to drink a cup of claret whenever any of his friends should call upon him. (Loud cheers.). [The chairman then presented the silver cup and salver to Mr. Way, at the same time proposing his health —long life, prosperity, peace, and happiness to him. Ho next' handed to him the purse of 200 sovereigns, promising. hith that he would find but very few counterfeits amongst theml Mr: WAY, on rising to acknowledge the flattering testi mony of esteem which had been paid him, was received with considerable applause. He said he had really so intiCh for which to thank them, and so much for which to be gratofal to them, that he scarcely knew where he should begin. He came to Dover in the year 1814, which was now about 15 years since, with a determination to carry out two or three objets, the principal of which was, to watch over to the best of his ability, the interests of the company which he had the honour to serve. He could assure them that he thought then, ho ever had thought, and he hoped he should continuo to think, that he could never do too much for the accommodation, the gratification, and the pleasure of those who travelled by the South Eastern Railway. (Applause.) During the time ho had been the superintendent at the Dover station—of course they could not compete in the amount of traffic with the London station, inasmuch as the number of passengers who passed through there in one year was equal to the number he had seen hero during his loca tion amongst them—but he could safely say that no less. than 15,000,000 of passengers had passed through Dover station during the time he had mentioned, and he.believed there were not 15 individuals out of that large number who could say that he had not done all that ,he could to make their travelling as comfortable as possible. (Hear.) Amongst this 15,000,000 were reckoned a number of illustrious visitors to her Majesty the Queen, a greater number of whom had passed through this station than through any other outport station in the kingdom. All those august personage's had been satisfied with the arrangements which had been made for their convenience as far as the journey by rail was con cerned ; and they had presented him with several testimonials of which he was very proud,as he knew were, also the Dover people. He could not sufficiently thank them for all this kind ness shown towards him,—to the worthy chairman, to the secretaries (Messrs. Briggs and Forster), to his worthy friend Mr, Yato (the treasurer), and to all the members of the committee he begged to ofer his sincere thanks; to every one who had honoured him by placing their names on the list, whether it be for five guineas or for ss. —(hear, hear)—he returned.his grateful acknowledgments, and ho sincerely hoped that ho should never live long enough to lose any of that pleasant gratification he felt at the present moment in holding the esteem of his fellow townsmen. (Applause.) When lie looked around and saw so many of his fellow townsmen assembled on this occasion to do him . honour, ho was inclined to ask himself what ho could do to compensate them for all their trouble ? He could only tell them this, that:if any of them or their friends could show him how he could possibly be of the to them dui) , would only be adding one more to the pleasures they had already given him. (Cheers.) Ho had often remarked that it was a prowl day fur him when he came to Dover. On his taking up his abode here ho was a perfect stranger to the people, but they had not treated him as such, showing him every kindness. The different mayors, also, whose acquaintance he had had the honour to make during his stay here, had also always treated him, both officially and privately, with the greatest consideration, and he took that public opportunity of thanking them. He assured the com pany that no one felt a greater interest in the prosperity of Dover th an he did—he would tell theni that Dover must prosper, even without the townspeople wishing it, for the Government had seen that Dover was the key to.tho conti nent—travellers had seen it long since. (A laugh.) In conclusion, it only remained for him again to cordially thank - them for the honour which they had done him, and he wished ho could individually as he could now collectively thank them. If any of them at any time doubted his sin cerity, let them try him—(cheers)—and if they had no way of asking him to serve them let them ask sonic of their friends who had, and if he Aid not do anything they required why—they might call him a Dutchman. (Loud cheers.) Mr. W. H. PAYN next gave " The health of the Mayor and Corporation of Dover." Alderman WOOD returned thanks. • It would have given him greater pleasure, he said, to have seen instead of three of the members of the Corporation within thosewalls, which had held them on so many occas'ons, as many is 22. (Hear.) He was of opinion that the gentlemen they placed in office 'should show themselves more .in publics than they did at present. (Hear.) • - On behalf of the - corporation, he would say that they hoped to do their duty - during their term of office, and he trusted it would be for the benefit of the town and for every person belonging to it. (Applanseo ' The Rev. T. BRIGGS said lie had a toast to propose which he knew they would' receive with great cordiality-'-it" was the health of their worthy chairman. (Applause.) He had 'been identified, as he had told them, f or th e p as t fi ve y ears with the interests of Dover'; and he was certain that from the moment when he first set his foot in Dover up to the present time he had done all that ho possibly Could for the benefit of the town, having been largely connected with various public works here, including the barracks and fora cations. (Applause.) All these he had 'eat.ricd nut satisfac torily to the Government ; and it was with considerable meth). faction thathe learnt that Mr. Moxon bad that day signed a contract ,amounting to something like £lOO,OOO for Go vernment works to bo executed in Dover. (Cheers.) He was sure that that annouucement would go immediately to their hearts, as they all must feel that he was a worthy lel low-townsman, although there was a .time when certain in dividuals thought otherwise, but they did not then know him. He had done the extensive contracts in which he had been engaged well, and had now taken 'aphis abode amongst them • and although ho was at present.engaged in carrying out the extensive works of the metropolitan main drainage, yet his home was in Dover, and it was here that he spent the money he had obtained'elsewhere. Now it would be a good thing for Dover if others would follow the same course, and identify themselves with the interests hf the town. With reference to the getting up of the testimonial to Mr. Way, Mr. Moxon was the first to promote the he took the chair at,the first committee meeting, and was the filet to put down his name on' theist for five guineas. Since that time nothing had given him greater pleasure than to watch the progress made in the subscription list, and at last to. have the h nour of presenting to his friend this hand some testimonial. (Hear.) Therefore, he hoped they would all cordially join with him in drinking the health of the chairman, hoping that he might long live in Do ver t o b e identified with its * prosperity. (Loud cheers.) The toast having been received witk three times three, Mr. MoxoN said he rose with a great degree of pleasure to thank them for the handsome manner in which his health had beer! Proposed and responded to, although he thought th:.t the proposer had said a great deal more of him than he deserved. (No, no.) As long as he should remain in Dov er , he hoped' he sh ou ld never do anything to disgrace the name ho hose. His object, as, Mr. Briggs had truly i n ti ma t e d t o them, Was to see Dover something superior to what it was at present.. Mr. -B. Dieraeli had very frequently said that there was something looming in the distance, but, unfortunately, there were very few in the town who appeared to open their eyes to this fact. He heartily, agreed with Major Barnard when he urged the necessity, of the townsmen, making themselves familiar with the use of arms, in order that they might be able to defend themselves in case of need. He assured them nothing would give him greater pleasure than to know that Dover,prosperedgend every 'one in it in the same ratio. (Applause.) Dover was a place to which ho had taken a f anc y; and in which he had taken up his abode. He had many esteemed friends here, amongst whom he might mention his friend on his right, and his friend on his left-hand'; and he-thoUght he might take the liberty of going the round of the table, and when he had included the whole of them, he trusted that' there would be none who would have reason to regret the day -in which he set his foot in Dover. (Applause.) The .chairman then paid a compliment to the ladies who were witnessing the proceed ings from the other end of the room, huinourously-romark ing that he had observed there such an amount of white sambric as must be highly gratifying to everyone present. (Laughter.) He begged once more to bo allowed to tender his most sincere th a nk s for the honour they had done him in drinking his health. (Cheers.) • ' • Mr. BRIGGS, sen., intimated that he had been requested by the chairman and vice-chairman to propose the next toast, which he conceived to be of the first consequence to the individuals composing this town, because, individuals together caused iu the aggregate the prosperity or otherwise of a town like Dover, which was one of the most important in the British empire. (Hear.) If we would have prosperity as a whole, we must wish it to each individual ; in propor tion as trades or professions .were in a thriving condition so would a town flourish; and let him also add, that the hap piness of the whole community was vested in the happiness of each single person, anti if Dover was ever to be prosper ous, it must be when all divisions and dissensions were at an end. (Lend cheers.) Whether in the Town 'Council or elsewhere, it was necessary that business should be carried on irrespective of any party feeling whatsoever, and then, and only then, would the town be in a prosperous condition. (Hear.) But he (the speaker) had suffered because of his expressed determination to follow an independent course— ho wished to see prosperity in Dover independent of sect or party - (hear, hear)—and he was persuaded - of this, that if the inhabitants acted unitedly, prosperity would attend them. He hoped, in conclusion, that the time was net far distant when they would see all united for the good of one another, and for the welfare of the town. He begged to pro pose " Prosperity to the town of Dover," and. harl,great plea sure in connecting with that toast a most venerable, excel lent, and worthy man, Mr. Hipgrave. (Applause.) The toast was drunk with great heartiness .Mr. llseonav responded. He remarked that when so humble an individual as himself was called on to do justice to the toast of the first town, he might say, belonging to the Bri tish empire, he felt how unequal ha was to the task. -It ought to have been in the hands of—if the clergy, bosh mid say the Archbishep—(laughter)—if the military, it should have been the general of the garrison, for he believed that even the Prime Minister himself—(laughter)—would not be able to do justice to a 'place so extraordinarily splendid, so pro tected in every way by providence, and he might say so de termined as we all were and he hoped we ever should be, to keep an enemy from our shores The words of that noble officer (Major Barnard) were first -rate—we ought to make ourselves acquainted with exorcise. What use was a man if he went out at night and did not understand the system of defending hiniself ? What should we able to do supposing these human butchers arrived ? (Laughter) Why, they would slaughter us like a flock of sheep, had we nobody to rally us, nobody to guide us, no philosopher like Confucius and all the rest of them. (Laughter.) But there were men who were able to instruct us and put us in a right position to defend ourselves. What must have been the feelings of those proud Austrians, badly disciplined and badly gone railed, when opposed to the French army, in every way ' most perfect ? However, he was net one of those individuals who were lost in admiration and envy of the French'Empe ror, for he believed it was his destiny to rule over the most extraordinary people in the world —so divided, so ferocious, so ready at all times to rush out like wild beasts of the wil derness to kill and destroy. (Loud laughter.) How we could expect this noble Napoleon to keep all these wolves, and tigers, and lions; and all'the rested' the destructive animals in the aforesaid wilderness—(laughter) —he was at a loss to conceive—it was impossible. Why, th e E m p eror h a d no other reason for going to Italy than because his army got the mastery over him—they would be at something—eo said Nap, "If there is anything that wants rectifying and puri fying it is Italy, ,and we will go there first." (Ltiaighter.) But it was, useless and vexatioxs for' him to detain them longer. (Cries of`" No, no," and "GO on.") 'ltaly, they must know, was such a congloineration of circumstances that he• believed the first philosopher in the world was unable to interpret what the inhabitants wished, or even tell us what was best for them. Then,• they were divided into so many States, when strength was in beino. united. Major Barnard had called their attention t o thi s , and ho be lieved that if the English nation put itself in a proper posi tion of defence it might laugh to scorn the whole world; but then they must take care and put themselves in that position. Consider how proud they ought to be when they knew that they were the most extended nation on tho face of the earth, that their children were roamiug all. over the world, and that the tongue of old England was sounded from polo to polo. Then let them be united, and fami liarise themselves with military discipline—which he had no objection to learn himself--(cheers and laughter)— and when they had such a wonderful and astonishing man as the Rev. Mr. Yates to_ keep theni in good, „holy order— (a laugh)—and such a great leader as Moxon—(laughter)— who was now carrying out these gigantic works of defence, to rally round, they were all saved ; and all was well; but let thorn be assured of this, that if they did not put them selves intri a proper state of preparation, they would some day or other be too late, and then th e y wou ld s t an d every possible chance of having their dwellings entered by the invader, their little ails forcibly carried away, end their wives and daughters ravished before their eyes. He begged to thank them for the honour which they had conferred upon him, and to inform the meeting at the further end of all things thathgwas the oldest acquaintance Mr. Way had. 'l'ho VICE-Cleantataer then, in a compli mentary speec h , gave " The health of the Fair Sex," coupling the re with the health of Mrs. Way. Mr. WAY, in replying to the toast, observed that he had now been married about 20 years, and he believed it had been the happiest portion of his life. (Appla use ,) Mr. A. BoTiroe, in giving "The Press," took occasion to advert to what had fallen front Major Barnard, with re spect to the volunt ee r movement in Dover, assuring him that 'seine of the 'Do v er p eo pl e were no t so insensible the importance of fitting themselves for militaryf unet i ons as h e seemed to suppose, A meeting of the inhabitants had already been held on the subject of rifle corps, and ho regretted that more had not resulted from that meeting. Perhaps in no town in the kingdom had the call to martial pursuits been less responded to than in Dover—not a single shilling hav ing been subscribed by any of its wealthy inhabitants, so far as he could learn, on behalf of the movement. It was gratifying to know, however, that 50 of our fellow-towns men had' tendered their names to Government for tho esta blishment of an artillery corps. This, ho thought, shoWed that the volunteer spirit, at least, was not wanting. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, their own inclination had at firAt led them towards the formation of" a rifle corps'; but, learning that in outports such as Dover artillery corps would be of more use, they had consented to become artillerymen, their de sire being to servo their country in case of need in the best way they could. (Hear, hear.) But the artillery corps could not yet bo declared formed, for althatigh the names of the volunteers were down and the application forwarded to the proper quarter, no official ackuowledgMent of the offer lied yet been received. He did know that Col. Aylmer had received instructions tohommenco a course of drill with such persons as might be desirous of acqUiring that kiud of instruction; but until the services of the Dover Volunteers were properly recognised, and they weirs placed on the fool ing of other crops of the same description, they could scarcely regard thenisolves as in a position to take advant age of the permission thus held out. (Hear.) He had little doubt, however, front the feeling now exhibited,lhrit before many days were over, a movenient would be ihade in the right • direction, and the Dover Volunteer Artillery Corps properly_ organised. (Loud clic:one s ) . • Mr. Bottle then gave "TP he ress." Mr. J. T. FRIEND responded to the toast. A great number of toasts of a more personal character were then proposed, including the health of Dr. Morgan, the , Rev. T. B. W. Briggs, M r . W . H . P ayn, Mr. Bacon (who had furnished tho tankard and salver comprised in tho , testimonial), the Visitors from London, and Messrs. White s Gouge, and Allen, Major Barnard, &c. 3iajor BARNARD, mt ,responding, again pressed 'on the attention of the gentlemen 'present the importance of great gun exercise being learnt by the civilians of a town. like Dover, so that they might be useful in time of need. God forbid that that time should ever arrive, for none who had over seen the horrors of a general actin would, desire to look upon the scone again. None could say:that he funked in his duty or hesitated to accept a post of Clanger; but he fervently hoped •he might never again look upon the sights that had met his gaze upon a field of battle and the'surest way of preventing the possibility of such a scene in England was to look well to our defences, and never let a foe fall into the error of supposing that we wore unprepared to resist an attack. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN. in response to an observation which had fallen from Mr. A. Bottle with respect to the lack of sub scription said he should belappy to contribute ten guineas td any fund that might be got up to defray the expenses of a volunteer corps in Dover. (Cheers.) The company did not, separate till a late hour. **PAIN AND 'MOROCCO, (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) BAY OF CADIZ (IN QUARANTINE), Nov. 22. We have heard a good deal lately about the pro gress made by 'Spain, and the flaw of foreign travellers into the country has •doubtless been in creased by the belief that such progress implied increased facilities and improved. accommodation. The health-giving climate of Malaga, so greatly vaunted by Ford, has been preferred by many in valids to the soft breezes of Nice and the sunny bay of Naples'. One hears of railways opening and of lines of Steamers regularly running, and of hotels combining English comforts and French luxuries, and one as induced to believe that Spain, recently reputed semi-African, has taken a deserved place among civilised countries, and no longer presents difficulties which even a featherbed traveller may not with impunity brave. I fear the picture has been rather over-coloured. Spain may have in creased in financial prosperity, and probably has so, since she finds money to undertake a crusade against her ancient enemy the Moor ; but English men who come hither, expecting to be speeded on their way, and no longer to suffer from the intoler able dilatoriness and stupidity so long and so often a reproach to Spanish officials, will find themselves wofally out in their reckoning. Hearken to the tale of your correspondent's troubles. He wrote to you from Gibraltar soon after noon on the 20th inst., and quickly after war d s went on board the little French steamer that was to convey him, wind and weather permitting, in eight hours to Cadiz; but wind and weather were adverse exceedingly. It blew a perfect hurricane round the old rock of Gibraltar; the windows of the Club house Hotel were preserved only by a miracle from being blown in, and boatmen were profiting by the gale to demand stormy prices for conveying pas sengers on board. And here let me observe, paren thetically, that since the opening of the Alicante and Madrid :Railway and the establishment of various lines of steamers along the east coast of Spain the proverbial imposition practised by boatmen, por ters, guides, &c., at most of the Italianports where the English land has been cast altogether into the shade by the effrontery and extortion of the same classes in the Spanish towns. Tariffs there are none, or if there be they are unobserved, treated with contempt and set at defianoe. At Malag a, especially, the travell e r i s sw i n dled an d pill age d to atiy extent. Under English surveillance, things are much better at Gibraltar, where, indeed, as fur as I have observed, there is no great ground ler complaint ; but, of course, a stiff breeze affords an opportunity of making an extra dollar or two out of the impatient and the inexperienced. Once on board, on Sunday afternoon last, it soon became evident that our departure was not likely to be as speedy as was promised and hoped. Dirtier wea ther I have seldom seen. Darkness came on and we were still at anchor, a tempest raging, and the rain descending in torrents, the weather so thick that a move was not to be thought of. It was a nice night in Gibraltar Bay, and we were heartily glad when day broke, and a comparative lull enabled us to steam out, passing one or two ships that had gone ashore, and finding better weather in the Straits than could have been expected. But our troubles were all before us, and it is only now that I am coining to the lament able portion of my talc. At half-past four o'clock yesterday we dropped our anchor in the bay wherein I date this loiter. It was broad daylight, and we looked out anxiously for the Sanidad, the health boat, which was to give us pratique. We looked in vain. Whether it was that the quaran tine officials were too busy in the manufacture of cigarillos to take heed of a boat-load of intrusive foreigners, or whether they had just dined and were unwilling tnexpose their digestion to the ordeal of a roughish sea, I am unable to say, but no Sanidad appeared. So we resigned ourselves to another night on board, and were up in the morning before the earliest-rising gull had made the tour of the ship, to watch the coming of the health-bearing authorities. There was no such need of haste to quit our cots. '!'here was time for a good deal of pacing of the' wet deck, and of cigar-smoking and mut tered expletives, before a sort ofgondola with eight oarsmen, and two elderly wrinkled Spaniards sit ting under an awning, approached our side. Papers were handed down, and the sanitary officials com menced their perusal. Presently one of them opened his eves to the widest extent, puffed out his cheeks like Iloreas, and gave to his snuffy high-dried phy siognomy as astounded an expression as if Medusa's head had suddenly been presented to his view. The Gibraltar authorities had thought it their duty to announce, two days before, that there were half a dozen cases of small-pox in the military hospital. The sick men had been kept isolated, and the malady had not appeared in the town. But these redeeming facts were insufficient to tran quillise Senor Sanidad. There was the small-pox, the viruclas at Gibraltar. Consequently nopratique. rush off the boat at once ! Up with the yellow flag ! It is still a wonder to me that our captain, a worthy Breton and a smart sailor, did not get a fit of apoplexy from the excess of his indignation. He swore like a Pagan, but Sanidad was not to be affected by any amount of sacres. There was a Spanish cavalry officer on board, newly appointed to the staff of some General presently at Cadiz, and who had excited general admiration by the length of his spurs - and his extraordinary escapes from tumbling over them in ascending and descending. the soaked, slippery, cabin stairs. He was prompt and vehement in expostulation—his General impa tiently awaited him ; the expedition was about to embark; on shore he must go. But the wizened little Spaniard in the grimy boat was inflexible, and off he went to call a Boa r d t o asse mble and deli berate whether we were to be admitted. He took with him letters and papers; the pilot had already gone ashore, in short, enough had landed to infect a whole city full, if infection there had been ; but we unfortunates were condemned to remain tossing about far out in the bay until the Spanish Sangrados had conferred concerning us. To heighten the joke,i n a couple of hours a boat came from shore with permission for the Spanish officer to land. Apparently his landing was to be kept a sort of secret, done upon the s ly ; b u t, as the whole ship's company and passengers were present at his stepping into the boat, mystery was a farce. To cut a long a story short at this present time of writing, eight at night, this is our position :—Tho ship's agents have pro tested against the bulk of the passengers being kept on board, on the silly and ridiculous pretence of quarantine, when one of them has been permitted to land, and the Spanish authorities have tele graphed to Madrid for instructions, the case being apparently too knotty for them to decide upon. It is true that the Spanish Prime Minister is at pre sent in Cadiz, but it is not his department, and he has his hands full of more important matters. If Madrid does not pronounce in our favour to-morrow morning the steamer, which has little to do at Cadiz, will proceed to Lisbon, unrelentingly bear ing with it the psysengers who are here at their destination. At Lisbon we shall probably be again put in quarantine (as Was lately threatened to be done with another ship of the same company) be cause we come from Gibraltar, which is near Alge siras, where there was lately the cholera. It is true that the cholera has ceased for some time past, indeed, there are ill-disposed persons who say that it never existed there to any extent, but that it was magnified to prevent British officers going over there from Gibraltar and spying out the nakedness of the land, making unhandsome criticisms on Echa.gue's division, since embarked for, Ceuta, and so forth. But no matter, any stick serves to beat a dog, and any pretext suffices to put ,an unlucky French steamer in quarantine in the ports of the Iberian peninsula. It is not the less true that there aro passengers on board the lively craft known as the • Ville de Malaga, to whom a visit to the Portuguese capital will be as disagreeable as unexpected. Here is M. X-----, late French Consul at some Moorish city, and who has left in consequence' of the war, and has all sorts . of despatches to deliver and important business to transact in • Spain, and here are Major Gabion, of the Engineers, and Captain Enfield, of her Majes ty's 110th, who are away from Gib. on short leave, with a view. to visit Granada and see if it be at all like Mr. Owen Jones's representation of it at Syden ham, and who must be back to muster on the 30th, under pain of an immensity of bothernient, and here is your correspondent, who—but, without, in sisting on det a il s , y ou will und ers t an d how unplea sant it is to be taken to the Tagus when you would pause at Cadiz, to say nothing of the possibility that our captain, if compelled to hoist the yellow flag again at Lisbon, may go off in a huff to France, dropping us in the lazaretto at Vigo.
