NEW MILITARY MOVEMENT. ORGANIZATION OF RIFLE CORPS. The loyal disposition of British subjects is never slow when the liberties and institutions of the country ar , threatened; the rifle movement, spontaneous on the part of patriotic citizens, having gained the approval of the Lord Lieutenant, and secured the plea sure of her Gracious Majesty the Queen, Rifle Associations are form ing in all large cities and provincial towns on every hand the ques tion is asked —" Where. can the most suitable dress for Captains, Officers, or Privates in Rifle Companies be secured ?" No house in the kingdom can equal E. MOSES and SON in this department ; their special arrangements for this purpose being on the most com plete and magnificent scale. Orders for the uni orm of an y Rifle association in the Kingdom can be cempleted in much less time than at any other House; facilities belonging to E. MOSES and SON'S establishments in cmisequence of their gigantic trade and immense capital. The experience E. MOSES and SON have had in devising the most approved military styles of DRESS, has, enabled them to produce the most magnificent specimens in the established Rifle style, accompanied by the most perfect fit, while the greatest comfort in movement and exercise is attained by the pe culiar character of the cut. The prices adopted by E. MOSES and SON being very considerably lower than any house in the em pire for CLOTHING, FIATS, HOSIERY, BOOTS, and SHOES, &c., and GENER OUTFITTING to all parts of the world, the same economical charges will be made for Rifle equipment, sup. plied at their Establishments in London, or forwarded to any provin cial town in the Kingdom.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND , - CHESHIRE JUNCTION. On Saturday afternoon the ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company took place at the Monks' Ferry Hotel, Birkenhead; Alderman Bancroft, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. There was a numerous meeting of proprietors. Mr. GIMON, the secretary, read the report, from which we take the following passages : " The receipts of the past ha-year, as compared with the receipts of the corresponding period of the previous year, are as follows ; namely, 1850, passengers, 20,527/ ; goods, 10,2231.; total, 30,7401. 1851, passengers. 28,3681; goods, 13,4151.; total, 41,783/. Increase, 11,0431. The cioaniity of general merchandise carried between Chester and Birkenhead, continues to increase: comparing the same periods the tonnage was, 1850, general merchan dise, 41.420 ; coal, 33,820; total, 80,240. 1851, general merchandise, 46,595; coal, 34 232; tow.), 81,517. The traffic on .the Manchester line continues to increase. Ile tonnage of the last half-year, compared with the half-year ending 30th June, is more than double; and arrangements have just been completed with he• Ilniyhead CoMpany, from which a considerable traffic in slate and atone is expected to be taken over t'bia portion of the line, and this will no doubt be promoted by the opening of the Carnarvon and Bangor line on Monday next. It is proper, however, to observe, {.hut the company ianow in u transition state, and that the present returns Ao notindicate its actual resources. Notices have been issued for the forfeiture of 3,535 311. and 196 22/, shares, a list of which will be submitted to the meeting,;, and the directors desire the same powers for the disposal of these shares as hare been given for those already declared forfeited. The balance available for dividend is 15,127/. 14s. 5d., and out of this sum the directors recommend that a dividend be paid at the same rate as lal;t half-year, viz., , en 271. shares, 4s. 1,4d,;.1)11 221. shares, 2s. 100.; on 311. shares, 3s. toper &ire; eaving a balance of 1,8811. to be carried over, , .The amount charged to the halt-year for the expenses of the aea , dent is the same as was autherised for the previous half-year." _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in moving pro forma, the adoption of the report, observed that the business of the day would be very short;. but .Pe wished to make a few remarks in regard to their position, in order that the shareholders might not be misled as to the real value of their property by the returns which had just now been laid before them. The company was now in a state of transition, from the condition of an indepen dent cbmpany to that of one of the Associated Com panies. Twelve months ago be had told the share holders that the alliance which they then contemplated, and had since effected, would not prove immediately beneficial, but that, its first operation would be to de prive this company of all the advantages of its Man chester line and of the greater portion of the traffic from Manchester to Chester. It was natural to sup pose that the London and North-Western Company, which was so seriously affected by the junction of this company with the Great Western and Shrewsbury lines, would offer all the opposition in its power to the arrangements now in progress.—(Hear, hear.) At the two last meetings the directors had suggested to the proprietors the necessity of making arrangements at Manchester, to enable them to have the control over their own business control which, from the termi nal regulations there, was now in the hands of the London and North-Western Company, Who, as might be expected, diverted the traffic to their own line, to the injury of this company and the prejudice of the town of Birkenhead. The anticipations which had been stated a year ago had proved correct, and the re turns now presented, therefore, formed no fair ground for estimating the value of this line if it had remained an independent company. At present they bad not realised any direct advantgge from their alliance with the Associated Companies. The communication being broken at Wolverhampton, the through traffic was con fined tb that which they possessed before the alliance, as die London and North-Western had successfully adopter plans to prevent any traffic coming down the Shrewsbury line to Birkenhead.—(Hear, hear.) The Shrewsbury and Hereford line was . not open ; and the Chester and Holyhead—so ably represented at all meetings of this company by the Hon. Member (Mr. Jackson, M.P.), and over which the London and North-Western exercised so large a control — had managed to promote the interests -and policy of the latter company in opposition to the associated companies. But he (the Chairman) and his brother directors were too well disposed to be on good terms with their friends on the other side of the water to be angry, oe find fault with anythimy they did. — (Cheers and laughter.) He only mentioned these things now to show that in their present transition state all their profits were swallowed up in working expenses, and that this would continue to be the case until either this company was again an independent company, or the associated companies could make their own arrangements.—(Hear, bear.) The Cheshire line had yielded, under all the drawbacks, far more than he (the Chairman) had ever expected from it; and he had now more confidence than ever that it would prove most useful to the district, and command a large amount of traffic. From Christmas lag to Christmas next they would receive the gross amount of 85,0001.; and their traffic would be worked by' any of the companies on terms that would leave this company. in the enjoyment of nearly the same amount of money they had stipulated to receive from the associated companies; leaving this company all the advantages of Birkenhead. He wished to speak guardedly. It was not his desire, or that of the board, to do anything to prevent the carrying out of their agreement in all its integrity; but per sonally he (the Chairman) was very indifferent about it.—(Hear, hear.) He believed it would be carried outin its integrity, although the Great Western Com pany was so occupied with pressing Parliamentary and other business, that it could not meet its allies to complete the agreements.—(Rear, hear.) Provision was made that, in case of any difference of opinion, the points should be submitted to arbitration ; and if any necessity arose—if any new state of affairs should occur—the directors would call the shareholders to gether, and make them acquainted with the facts. — (Cheers.) He was not aware that they would be called upon to make any sacrifices, and therefore moved that the reports and statement of accounts be received and confirmed. Mr. CATIIRALL seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. The next resolution, declaring a dividend of 4s. lid. upon each share of 271. 103. for the half-year, of 2a. 100. upon each 221. share, and of 3s. 101 d. upon each 311. share, was unanimously acquiesced in, as was also that declaring the forfeiture of a large number of shares of which due notice had been given. A motion was then made that the directors 13e em powered to Proceed with the Bills now before Parlia ment and to oppose others. Mr. JACKSON, M.P., opposed the latter portion of the proposition, and wished the motion to be divided, for the purpose of affirming the former and negativing the latter ;. but after some conversation the Hon. Member did not press his amendment, and the resolu tion was carried with one dissentient. A memorial from 42 local passenger contractors was brought forward by Mr. TITHERINGTON relative to the starting of a morning train a quarter of an hour earlier, so as to enable the business men of Liverpool to reach town by 10 A.M. The meeting, however, declined to entertain the question, which conveyed an implied censure on the directors. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting broke up. EAST ANGLIAN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street. H. Bruce, E-q., took the chair. The report was as follows : " We regret that the lateness of the period at which we have received from the Great Northern Railway , Company the accounts of the traffic receipts and work ing expenses, during the time that the lines were worked by that company, has put it out of our power to present our accounts in a complete state. As we have not had sufficient time to examine the accounts of the Great Northern Company, or to submit them to the auditors, we shall not ask you to confirm them until a future meet vented be the of trains from the ing.

As compensatnre for the privilege granted to the Eastern Counties COTpany, the East Anglian Company are to receive at least 50 per cent. of the gross earnings •from the traffic of, their railways, free from any deduction whatever. The second agreement pro vides that both companies shall (at the sole expense of the Eastern Counties Company) apply tq Parliament for an Act to authorise an agreement by which the Eastern Counties Company shall have power to work, manage, and maintain the East Ano eeßnilways, subject to the ' supervision of your e diree , ' art He -determined on by both elinipanies a te lease t : federtaking tor the - pitied o f 9 99 ye ar& Thiaegreee s.:likewise provides for the most efficient working of the railways, so as' to develop 1 the traffic to tbe utmost extent. The whole of the earnings are to belong to the East Anglian Company after deduct- the working expenses, which (including an ample supply of carrying stock and locomotive power) are never to exceed 50 per cent., and it is provided that if the working expenses of the Eastern Counties Company are, during any half-year, below 50 per cent„ the East Anglian Company are to be charged the same per emit age on their gross traffic, but in this case the expenses of the board and secretary are to bo borne" by this com p tny, provided such charges do not raise the total work ing expenses above 50 per cent. Both of these contracts provide that the net revenue of the Rut Anglian Com pany shall never be less than 17,0001. Preliminary to these agreements, it was arranged that the Eastern Counties Company should purchase all the working stock of this company, at the valuation which had pre viously been made, and the d-livery of the different articles is now almost completed. It gives us satisfac tion to state that the Great Northern Company have afforded every facility in banding over the plant, &c., to the Eastern Counties Company. The amount ob tained for the working stock has been disposed of as follows•-I0,000/. 'has been appropriated to provide for the payment of the cost of the permanent bridges re quired by the Act to be constructed over the river Ohse and the middle level drain on the Wisbeach branch ; 9,000/. (of which one-half is to be invested in the East Anglian, bonds) have been set apart for the completion of works which were necessary for the ac commodation and development of, the traffic; and the remainder is to be applied to the payment of the com pany's debts. We have made an arrangement with Messrs. Fox, Henderitiu, and Co., for the construction of the above-mentioned bridges, and the necessary ap proaches thereto, for an amount that will not oxceed 10,0001., which is less than one-half the sum that would have been required hied they been built when the line was formed. These bridges are to be constructed on the new principle (Warren's patent), which has recently received the entire approbation of -several eminent en gineers, who were present when the bridge of 260 feet span, constructed for the Great Northern Railway, was exposed to the severest tests at Birmingham. It ii with great satisfaction that 'we now refer to the financial ' position of the company, which has for so long a period been the subject of intense anxiety. So recently as the ' Ist of last month the debt of the company amounted to 340,0001., of which upwards of 300,0001. were due, and ' a very large amount pressing for payment. We have now the gratification of informing you that the whole debt of the company, after paying interest in full to the 31st ultimo, does .not exceed 285,0001., aad, with the exception of about 6,000/., which will become due on and after the 30th of June, 1853, And ' 7,0001., which will become due in 1854, the period for ' the payment of the entire debt of the company has been extended te 1855, with this very great advantage, that it will 'be at the option of the oompany, , at an earlier ' retie e.. to r t., at' e1 , ..-5t......,.i.......`L ri5 . k ars'oil this debr, on giving notice of their intention so to do. This arrange ment has been effected by the issue of not more than 19,000/. of the new preference shares, bearing interest at the reduced rate of 5 per cent. With reference to these shares, we have great pleasure in informing you that out of about 12,000 shares originally issued, more than one-half have accepted the terms offered by the board, whereby the interest has been reduced from 7 to 5 per cent.; and we trust that the holders of the re mainder of these shares will agree to accept the reduced rate, and thereby hav e t h eir shares ns olidated into ever one share of 10/. fully paid fornone co ery i five shares, on each of which 2/. ha ve b een paid.

They Company had not onl z entered on the subject with the best feeling, but would render their htyeo•operation in developing the resources of the East An glian line. At every point they had also been met in the m ost ~. satisfactory man ner by the Great Northern Company. The traffic appeared small, but it was not t o h " e taken as the re sult of this new arrangement. Various causes would tend to an increase of theTir traffic, especially the im provement of the port of . -yen, by w hi c h th e y w ould et a new Vent into Wisbeach g and the North-Western districts, as well as another vent into Nottingham. The coal tra ffi c, which they were desirous of encou raging, would also increase the reeeipts and if their Bill passed for the improvement of the port o f L that traffic in coal would, no doubt, be and remunerative to all parties. ~ 8 co.nsiderab nln e As to their finances he was happy to say that they had only one remaining bondholder, so that the company might be considered as out of debt. No doubt that in a h e ort time the company would be able to raise money on the most favourable terms. He thought it was only for them to expect a disposition on the part of tb na 7 tural cent. shareholders to consider the exigencies of perh company, and reduce their interest from 7 tot se per cent. per annum. If this was admitted, thewhole interest of the debt on the first preference would only be 14,200 t., thereby leavi ng a very shares con siderable amount to pay the interest of the other ference shares. With the increase of traffic they ehre expected, and any balance that might remain the ey original shareholders would get seMething In th way of a dividend.-(Hear, hear.) The other matter of consideration was the estuary, which 'was proceed ing with great vigour, and would no doubt be oened in the month o f Au gu s t next ; an d lastly, the ac counts of the solicitors, which were in a fair way of being amicably settled. The chairman, in conclusion moved the adoption of the report. , Mr. SIMPSON thought by the payment of 50,000/.1 due to the preference holders there w as no hope for the original shareholders. Could not so me arrange.. meat be made to give them debentures, so th a t some thing might remain for the original__ shareh o ld ers ? The CHAIRMAN said there would be no objection to going to Parliament for a new stock to capitalise those shares. Mr. PARSON thoughf . ..-a fli t all the preference holders would agree to the propositio n o committee and said they oug ht to apply to Parliamentf the in the present session to get power to do so. A PROPRIETOR asked if the debentures had been issued to the full amount ? affirmative. Mr. CHAIRMAN replied in the Mr. Alderman CARDEN spoke also in favour of the claims of the original shareholders, but h o p e d th ey would not imitate the Caledoni an.- (Bear, h ear. ) .7 , A PROPRIETOR adted what was the extent o f th e lease with the Eastern Counties ? The CHAIRMAN said for 21 years. A long discussion then took place in respect to the election of two directorr, Mr. Bates and Mr. Tinker being 'those who retired. Several arguments were held in respect to the claims of Mr. Simpson in place of Mr. Bates, and Mr. Hes seltine in piece of Mr. Tinker. A vote was taken, and Mr. Simpson was elected instead of Mr. Bates, who retired. Mr. Alderman CARDEN supported Mr. Tinker's election. Mr. PARSON supported Mr. Hesseltine. A vote was taken, when the members for Mr. Tinker were in the majority, and he was re-elected. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chiirrnan and directors, and the meeting adjourned. BELFAST AND COUNTY DOWN RAILWAY.---The usual half-hearly meeting of the shareholders of the railway was held, in Belfast, on Thursday, at the office of the company, Queen's quay. The attendance was pretty numerous. The report stated that since the last half-yearly meeting the directors have been obliged to make a call of 51. per share to meet the liabilities of the company, but, with the view of pressing as lightly as possible on the shareholders, divided it into two instalments. The directors have to congratulate the company on the increased traffic of the line, for although, in consequence of the season, the receipts show a trifling diminution as compared with the previous half-year, they show a very con siderable increase both in passengers and goods over the corresponding half-year of 1851. By the annexed revenue account there appears, after deducting all working expenses, to be a balance of 3,1091. 19s. 9d., out of which the directors recommend a division of 11 e. 41. per share,-leavings balance which, its-addition to - the dividends_due ontthe shares now to be foireitid; amounts to the sum 0f'3471. 11s. 9d., to be carried to the'reserve fund.' GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELAND). — The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at their board-room in Dublin on Saturday. The directors' report, which was unanimously adopted on the occasion, was of a highly satisfactory charac. , ter. It appeared from it that the receipts for the half year exhibit an increase of 3,2511. over the corres ponding period of the preceding year, although a reduction of 2,0361. had been made by the Post-office in the remuneration for *mail services. A reduction of 2,767/. had been effected in the working expenses for the six months ; and a sum of 45,1141. remained to be distributed to the shareholders at the rate of 18s: 3d. on each 50/. share, or 34 per cent. The last dividend, it may be remarked, was only 163. 3d. Reference was made with satisfaction to the circum stance that a sum of 100,0001. had been obtained from Government for the completion of the Killarney Junction Railway. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.--The report of the directors, read at the half-yearly meeting of this company, held in Dublin, on Saturday, contains the following statements ;—" On comparing the traffic of the last half-year with the corresponding half-year of 1850, the former shows an increase in passengers and goods amounting to 991/. 33. 11d. The expenses attendant on the working of the line of railway have been economised as much as possible, consistently with the due maintenance and efficient development of the traffic.

My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having had under their consideration the question of salvage far assaisance rendered by her Majesty's ships to vessels in danger or distress; and, considering it desirable to de fine more particulary the circumstances under which claims to salvage may be made, are pleasod to direct as follows: . 1. That all officers in command of her Majesty's ships are, as heretofore, to afford every possible aid to vessels in'danger, distress, or in want of casual assistance; and no claims for salvage are to be raised for such assist ance, unless really important services, or services ac companied with hazard, have been rendered to such vessels. 2. When such services have been rendered, the com manding officer of the ship is to transmit a full report of Le wiculu u17.-cumatances .of the war,. *dila a cars ship's log, to the Commander-in-Chief, or senior naval officer of the station, whose written approval shall be requisite before any officer under his command can raise a claim for salvage, and such approval is not to be given unless really important service, or service accompanied with hazard, has been rendered. 3. In cases where relays of men are sent for the pur pose of affording assistance, and where a large portion of the crew have been employed, the salvage which may be awarded is to be distributed according to the provisions of the prize proclamation in force at the time, unless specially apportioned by the terms of any decree or award, or otherwise to be divided among the parties ac tually employed, as my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty may direct. 4. All officers are to use their best efforts to save, and protect property and stores, especially those belonging to the Crown, which may be on board any vessel placed in circumstances of danger or distress; and, if necessary, to remove such stores to a place of safety. 5. Commanders-in•Chiet; or senior officers in com mand, are to report all cases of assistance rendered, or claims raised, to the Secretary of the Admiralty. By command of their Lordships, (Signed) J. pARKER. To all Commanders-in-Chief, Captains, Com manders, and Commanding Officers of h er Majesty's ships and vessels. MONTHLY I►IILITARY OBITUARY.

[PRICE SD. • THE, NEW MINISTRY. The following notices of the new Ministers may just now interest many readers. They are extracted from four very useful books of reference just pub lished :* EARL OF DERBY. Edward Geoffrey Stanley, Baron Stanley of Bicker etaffe, county palatine of Lan. aster, in the peerage of the United Kin - gdom, and an English Baronet; son of Edward Smith, 13th Earl, by his cousin. Charlotte Margaret, daughter.of .the Rev. Geoffrey Hornby and the Han, Lucy Stanley; born 1799; succeeded his father July 2,_ 1851; married, 1825, Hon. Emma Caroline Wilbraham, daughter of Lord SkelmcrAclale. The Earl is a Privy Councillor, and a Deputy-Lieutenant of the county Lancaster. His entrance on official life was as Under -Secretary for the Colonies during a portion of the Goderich Administration. In 1830 to 1833 he was Chief Secretary for Ireland, from 1833 to 1834 he was Secretary for the Colonies. Again, from 1841 to 1845 Lord Stanley held office as Secretary for the Colonies under the administration of the late Sir Robert Feel. On the introduction of the Corn Bill into the Cabinet in 1845 his Lordship retired from Sir Robert Peel's Government, and since that period has been the staunch supporter of what is styled the " agricultural interest." In February, 1851, her Majesty placed the administra- Hort of the country in Lord Stanley's hands—a trust which, however, his Lordship returned to his Sovereign on the following day. His Lordship was summoned, to the Upper House in 1846 as Baron Stanley of Bicker staffe (the second title of his late father), having pre viously represented Preston from 1826 to 1830, Wit:id sor from 1830 to 1831, and North Lancashire from 1832 to 1844. BENJAMIN DISRAELI. Benjamin Disraeli was born in London, December, JBO5, and is son of the Bathe ,of the " Curiosities of ' -- t -agiteWeEthe visited Germany. : aud .on retteedirgle•Enklitiitl puislignid; while yet a trneer, his first work, called " Vivian Grey." In 182 1 he visited Italy and Greece, and was in Albania during the civil war. He passed the winter of 1829 . 30 in Constan tinople, and in the spring travelled in Syria, Egypt, and tasesturei— Nubia. Returning to England in 1831, he found the nation in all the excitement of the reform agitation. Anxious to obtain a seat in Parliament, entertaining a Tory party hatred of the Whigs, then in the ascendant, : a wa it i t o h g e a te e m au p d er tda o t f e th f e or ti t m he es h ; o r a o n o d g h a c c o f o r d c i h n i g p l p y i , o g i n w b y e- - and not naturally illiber a l, Di srae li d eterm i ne d to con combe, he put forward a strong case against the Whigs, in the form best calculated to secure the suffrages of the Radical party, to whom he had obtained a recommen dation from Mr. Joseph Hume, and, in addition, spoke in favour of short Parliaments and vote by ballot. He lost the election in two contests,—the Radicals appa rently distrusting their candidate. In 1833 he published the novel, " Contarini Fleming," which he called a psychological romance ; and in the following year, a " Vindication of the British Constitution." Ia 1835, when the Conservative party had been restored to office, Disraeli became a candidate for the borough of Taunton. The danger of the country coming under the sway of a Whig oli garc hy had now, he said, passed away; accordingly he renounced vote by ballot and short Parliaments as unnecessary, and declared himself a sup porter of Sir Robert Peel. This change brought down upon him the attacks of the opposite party, and he was denounced throughout the kingdom as a political rene gade. In the course of one of his speeches at Taunton, be made an. uncomplimentary reference to Daniel O'Connell, then in the zenith of his fame. The agitator a few days alter returned his invective with interest, and declared, alluding to Mr. Disraeli's Hebrew origin, that " he made ne doubt that, if his genealogy could be traced, he would be found to be the true heir-at.law of the impenitent thief on the cross." The reply to this outrage was a challenge, not to the speaker, who was known uniformly to decline duelling, but to his son. No duel, however, took place, but the correspondence was published in the newspapers. A published letter, written to O'Connell by Disraeli, concluded by the magniloquent boast, "We shall meet at Philippi." This prophecy was fulfilled, in 1837, by the return of Disraeli for the borough of Maidstone. He sought an early . opportunity of addressing tho House; but having neglected to study the tastes of • his new audience as to the temper and style of oratory, his first attempt was one of the most egregious failures on record, and be sat down amid the derisive cheers of the blem hers, consoling himself by exclaiming, " The time will come when you will hear me!"—a prediction which has proved truer than the greater number uttered under such discouragements. At the general election of 1841 he was returned for Shrewsbury, and in the course of the session spoke several times with a self-possession and business-like aim which showed that he had profited by his first unpleasant lesson, and won him the ear of the House. During the year 1843 he supported Peel; bat in 1844, perceiving the erowiag development of that policy or the great Minister whin effdect in free trade. Disrat Ii seceded from his side to become a leader of the protec tionist party, and ecmmeneed upon his former chief a series of personal attacks, which, for elaboration, point, and length of duration, have no parallel iu the annals of the House of Commons. Various rea sons were assigned for the personal aim of Disraeli's opposition ; but it was on all hands agreed that the orator had successfully studied the character which he assailed. For three sessions the House listened with surprise and alarmed attention to speeches delivered at intervals, in which the solemn mys teriousness, the pompous commonplace, the high disdain, and lastly, the imputed treachery of the Minister, were of alternately mock e d or d enounce d w i t h i n di gnat i on . Th e retreat of Peel remove d th e occas i on o f these well-pre pared displ p a ier hopeless aelidid c a a l u l thate. A u s could be aye, and the triumph of free trade left Dis raeli cated e : mended of a party l ea d er , an d h av i ng, to b orrow an oprotection, cause. the expression from one of his recent addresses, "hacked on the fight until his sword was notched from point to hilt," he has intimated his intention not to be the advocate of exclusive privilege. It has hitherto been Mr. Disraeli's lot to excite expectations by his talents which have ended in disappointment. At the present moment he has ne higher reputation in the House than that of a clever debater; while many men of less natural ability have acquired authority by their steadier application. He has, however, youth on his side; and, emancipated from the association of a narrow-minded party, may yet do the state good service, in following his naturally liberal inclinations. As a speaker he rarely enunciates a new principle, but is constantly startling his audience by setting old ones in unex pected lights and combinations. His oratory is unimpassioned, and his manner even ungainly; but the felicity of his language, the aptitude and wide range of his illustations, and a certain ingenuity and adaptation which run through all his speeches, always secure for him the pleased attention of his audience. Besides the novel already mentioned, Mr. Disraeli has written three works, " Coningsby," " The Sibyl," and " Tan cred," full of graphic sketches of character, but chiefly remarkable as the vehicle of the writer's political and social views. EARL OF HARDWICK& Charles Philip Yorke, Viscount Royston and Baron Hardwicke, in the peerago of Great Britain, son of Vice - Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke, K.C.B.
