The Earl of LINCOLN onThursday brought forward three Bills foundtd on the recommendations con tained is the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the occupation of land in Ireland, of which notice had been given. The manner in which -- these measures were received by the blouse fully jus :: tified the pleasing anticipations of the Noble Lord, viz., that whatever difference of opinion there might here after be as to their provisions, every one in the House would be united—no feelings ofparty animosity would be excited, or any rivalry, except of a generous and kindly - nature, as to which would give the most effec tual aid towards the common object—that of im proving the condition of the people of Ireland by increasing and improving the cultiiition of the soil, and giving to the tenants that security in their investments in the land without w 'eh it was hopeless to expect that the so' y ou be pro " perly cultivated, or its im?rov ent otherwise mu retarded.. The et of Lord Dsvones ~:.:.. ~._. , I Commission was presented to the House in the month of February, 1845, and much anxiety was felt in all quarters for the introduction of some measures calcu lated to give effect to the recommendations, or at least some of them, contained therein. It was felt to be a subject of the most paramount importance, as through it alone the most fertile source of dissension in that country could be removed, and peace and tranquillity permanently restored in our sister kingdom ; for, whatever temporary improvement might be attained, it was impossible to hope for its continuance unles3 the exciting cause of disturbance—that which prevented substantial im provement throughout the country, and consequent prosperity to the owners and occupiers of the soil, and an increased degre e of employment to the laborious classes were removed—that want of employ ment, as Mr. NICHOLLS well said, having produced destitution ; destitution, turbulence ; turbulence, want of security ; want of security, want of capital, and again, want of capital, want of employment. Rem ove any o f these, and by a natural consequence, you will have gone a far way in removing all. The great exciting cause is the want of adequate employment. Idleness has been called the mother of mischief, and if you add to that leisure for the concoction and execution of evil designs, the destitution and want of all the comforts of civilised life, which n.ust attend the want of occupation amongst a class who are dependent fur their daily - bread on the sweat of their brows ; the result must be discontent and recklessness, leading to the fearful evils and oc currences which have too frequently inflicted in lelible stains on the character of our Irish brethren. If therefore no other good was to be obtained but the increased employment afforded to the labour ing classes in effecting the improvements contem plated and promoted by the first Bill, an object of vast importance will have been attained; but there is little doubt that great and permanent good will be thereby effected to all classes, and perhaps those whose interests will ultimately be most benefited are the landlords, whose rights some may say are unduly in terfered with in the present instance. Great difficulties must attend the introduction of any measure dealing summarily with the rights of a vast and important body of our countrymen, the owners of the soil, rights which have gene rally been considered inviolable and sacred. The members of the several branches of the Legislature, by whom this interference must be approved and sanctioned, all belong to the class whose property is affected, many of them thinking that they are fully entitled to do as they will with their own ; but a much larger proportion, we are happy to say, are disposed to give its full weight to the important proposition " that property has its duties as well as its rights," and of sufficient patriotism and philanthropy to yield gracefully a certain portion of these rights, when it is clearly and indisputably esta blished that their doing so will be productive of much benefit to the great body of the people—to their common country. Few will be disposed to question the statements of the Commissioners, " that an improved cultivation of the soil and an ad vanced condition of the people are intimately connected with the general prosperity of the whole empire ;" and few can doubt that this improvement is much discouraged by the want of some certain tenure in the land, or the security to the tenant of obtaining an adequate return for the expenditure incurred by him in effecting such improvement, either in the length of his tenure, or in a fair compensation for bis outlay and labour in the event of his being obliged to quit the farm within a certain time. How to effect this object, so desirable in every point of view, was the point, and it is little to be wondered at that the first measure (that brought forward by Lord STANLEY during the last session) should not be adequate to the purpose. Great simplicity in the machinery to be adopted was es-enrially necessary; and we think Lord LINCOLN has acted wisely in not introducing any new machinery, hut in having recourse to that which is already in exi-tence, and well known throughout the country, and which had been recommended by the Oommissioners, viz., the Assistant-Barristers. There are various classes of improvement contemplated by the measure : two of these are essentially different from the others, as effecting a vast and per manent improvement in the value of the farms, and these we think justly are n.ade different from the others, by being made charges on the inheritance, and also as being compulsory on the landlords. Others may be made by agreement, as farming, manuring, &c. &c. and will be binding on the landlord himself who agrees to them so far as Ids own interest in the land is concerned. By the new Bill, the tenant is em powered to serve a notice in a prescribed form on the landlord ; if the landlord approve I thereof he signified his assent, and the matter was thereby carried into execution ; if he disapproved, it fell to the ground in all except the two compulsory clauses re lating to building and thorough draining. Notice should be served on the immediate land - lord in person, and on all others having an in terest in the lands exceeding thirty-one years, through the post-office. 'We think that it would be prudent to enable the tenant, in certain cases, with the approba tion of the Assistant-Barrister, to effect a substitu tion of service of this notice on the recognised agent, bailiff, or driver of the landlord, if not residing in the immediate vicinity of the lands. We know, too well the great difficulty that is found in tDo many instances in effecting personal service of any legal process or notice in Ireland, and we cannot see the objection to having the notice served on the party who receives the rent, or acts on behalf of the land lord in respect to the land. Such a provision, how ever, may be introduced when the measure goes into Committee. The immediate landlord, on receipt of this notice, will be bound to name an arbitrator on his behalf, and to state whether he was willing to do the work himself, otherwise an allowance not exceeding five per cent. on building, and four per cent. on drain ing, is to be made. If the landlord assents, the document which em bodies that assent is to be filed with the clerk of the peace, and the expense becomes a charge on the inheritance. If the landlord objects, he should serve notice of objection, and an arbitrator must be appointed ; if he refuse to appoint one, arbitrators must be ap pointed by the Assistant-Barrister and justices at quarter-sessions. The arbitrators may ap point an umpire, or if they do not agree, then he should be appointed by the Assistant-Barrister. The award being made, the landlord has an option of undertaking the works himsel', if he intimates his intention of so doing within thirty-one days, and the award thus made is to be registered with the clerk of the peace ; a power of inspection is to be given to the landlord to see that the work is properly done. Our space this day does not permit a further notice, but we shall speedily return to the subject and the other two Bills introduced by the Noble Chief Secretary. • A letter from she i •,l.7isbon correspondent of the Tinies, Publhhed per cent,, Th e F un d s naare°rid edition of that journal ate this morning, an d The pani c h ag becomeicm;June Ist, says :•—• have fallen a further 10 ent ,15 per cent. w ithi n a fortnight. " The official report of trade in the ry this day is of the most des p onding ' The mar ket of character. baract continues paralysed. We are not awar e of any transaction to specify. " Public Funds.—Small transactions have b een realised during the week. Shares of companies are not sought. Paper money and titulos in apathy. The * (a word illegible) are quoted from 42 to 45. The shares of the Bank of Lisbon from 580 to 600 milreis each, being a fall of 25 per cent., and those of the Confianca National at 47-1- milreis, a fall of more than 50 per cent. since the suspension of payment." The Algarves, it appears, have risen, and joined in the general movement, and the Governor of the pro vince has retired to Albuferia, where the troop.; are concentrated. "This," says the Times correspondent, " completes the rising of the entire nation, with scarcely the exception of one isolated town." Intelliger.ce from Rome to the Ist instant has been received. A fierce struggle is expected between the Austrian and French interests in the approaching election of Pope. It appears that the former Power rather stands in dread of the intrigues of M. Rossr, the French Ambassador, who is denounced by those favourable to Auitrian influence as the " able and wily agent of the egotistical policy of France." The news of the insurrection hi Portugal had excited a great sensation in Rome. Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The brothers CABRAL arrived in Madrid on that day. M. BUCHENTAL, who had been banished by Nan• VAEZ, has returned to Madrid. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 6.—Three per Cents. 33 t o cash. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies resumed the discussion on the state of Algiers. The principal speakers were M. FERDINAND BARROT and M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. We give a resume of the arguments of M. DE TOCQUEVILLE from the Presse : "What," asked M. DE TOCQUEVILLE, " is the real state of Algeria? What is the evil? What the remedy ?" and, remarks La Presse," These questions M. DE TOCQUEVILLE examined with singular talent and close analysis :" "The real state is to be found in the three facts which we have so often had occasion to expatiate upon. Ist. The war in Africa is an embarrassment, and no longer a danger. 2ndly. Colonizing by means of the native population is a chimera. 3dly. A fact to be resolved hereafter comprises the whole future destiny of our establishment—viz., the arrival in Africa of a large European population ? Where is the evil? It is in'the constant incorrectness of the official information given to the Chamber upon the state of our affairs in Algeria. The Ministerial pictures are seducing, but, unfortunately, are false in every particular. Cultiva tion there is none; colonization, real and active, there is none; produce is at an end; in the villages one-half the inhabitants are dead, and the other half dying from starvation. The evil is, moreover, to be found in the obstacles opposed to all individual endeavours, and in the absen'e of all the guarantees which should protect interests.' On this point M. de Tocqueville quoted a very important fact, which seemed to make a lively impression on the Cham ber. There are colonization societies in Switzerland, and these societies say to persons who consult them before they emigrate You may safely go to Algeria; the soil is good and fruitful—the climate wholesome and agreeable. But there is no Government, nor guarantee, nor pro tection; and you will find there nothing but misery and death.' When we reflect that every year thousands of men expatriate themselves over every part of America, what regret we must feel in reflecting on the position in which misgovernment has placed Algeria, and under which it has so long groaned. The remedy, which M. de Tocqueville as well as ourselves, has so often repeated. is to be found in the institution. He combats the pessimists, who see everywhere insurmountable difficulties, whilst the difficulties against which we contend in Africa are exactly the same as pres,nt themselves in the infancy of all new stLtes, and are to be sur mounted by having recourse to the same means." M. DE TOCQUEVILLE concluded in favour of the appointment of a Special Department and Minister of Algeria. The subject of the election of Pope is commented on in the Opposition journals. The Courrier Fran cais after alluding to the fruitless endeavours of France to procure for the Roman citizens municipal liberties and the abolition of exclusive privileges, de clares that, in spite of M. Gutzur and the reactionary men who may succeed him, French liberty IA ill, sooner or later, emancipate Italy, and restore to the Papacy its real character and mission. "The news announced," says the Epoyue, " by several journals, that a re nissian of the rest of their punishment has been accorded to General Montholon, the Englishman Field ing. and Lieut. Aladenise, the three last companions of the captivity of Prince Louis Napoleon, is entirely unftunded There has been neither pardon nor, as was stated, even pro mise of pardon, after the trial of Doctor Conneau. General Montholon is detained at Ham, Fielding at Versailles, and Aladenise at St. Pelagic." The Duke D'AIIMALE arrived at Algiers on the 2d of June. During the course of his campaign he received the submission of many Arab tribes. On the same day General Yusur returned to Algiers with four hundred and fifty horses, which he had levied as a fine on the tribe of Ouled-Nayls. The war has ceased in every direction in Algeria, and the troops are enjoying a little repose.

BASIN OF THE PACIFIC.—Mr. J4M,S. Wyld has just published a large map of the basin of the great Pacific Ocean, showing the American Arid Asiatic shores and the groups of the Australian and Polynesian lands. At the present time the publication of such a map is ofgreat value, showing as it does the whole Oregon terri tory, and its relative position to the British possessions India, and China. In the event of a war on the subject of Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, the possession of which our Govern. ment refused some two years since, will become of immense importance, situated as they are in the direct coast to Oregon, India, China, New South Wales, and New Zealand Should the project of cutting through the Isthmus of Panama be carried into effect, the French possessions in the Marquesas will become valuable : we doubt, however, whether the Isthmus will ever be cut through, and even if should, the route to Australia, proposed by Lieutenant Waghorn, via Sin gapore, appears to be in every way preferable to the route via Panama. Our magnificent colonies in Australia and New Zealand are here accurately delineated, and seeing their relative position to Indit, to China, and to America, it is impossible to exaggerate their importance. As a work of art this map is beautiful, and as a work of reference it is invaluable.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL lti GIVS. (From The Sun of List Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, but not lively. Sales, 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares con tinued dull. The embarrassments of individuals, whether scripholders or committeemen, we are glad to learn from various quarters are being gradually lessened, though we feel assured that in respect to the proceedings of the managing directors of many schemes there is yet much to be settled. It never can be ex pected, while there are any men of public spirit, or any men dis posed to resist the wholesale squandering of their funds against their expressed wishes, that matters will be allowed to go on without some attempt to obtain justice. Without in any de gree prejudicing a case now before the Court of Chancery, we think it highly desirable to call attention to it, as affording to shareholders similarly situated a hint as to the proper means of obtaining satisfaction, or, at any rate, of seeking it, which, to men who act upon principle, is sometimes little less consolatory. In the case in question, a railway company is carried on, although the requisite de posits are not completed, the committee withholding shares for their own purposes, or in order, as is stated, to realise a premium. Besides this, the funds of the company were em• ployed to "rig up" the prices in the market, and the Bill was applied for, contrary to the ex pressed wishes of the shareholders, who threw it out by petirioning after it had been read a third time. Such are briefly the alleged circum,tances, and it is now sought to prevent a return of the deposits lodged with the Accountant Gereral to the Committee accused of such illegal practices. The cases parallel to this are extremely , numerous, as we are assured by many who must be con versant with them, and we hope the result will be in favour of the ehareholders. :n the Englkh Stocks there is a change for the better to day, and the interest of those who have profited by the late reaction may be now to rally prices. Consols for the open ing have been 95 1 / 9 to 95 1 4; Exchequer-bills have been quiet at 16s. premium; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 96;zi to 97; and the Three per Cents. 95 to 1,8. The Fo.eidn Bonds have been steady, and there is to be he noted especially the firmer appearance of Portugue , e Stock, the Three per Cents, being 46, and the Four per Cents. 47; Dutch Four per Cents. are 91%; Mexican Five per Cents. have been quoted, 28% 8 to 29; and the Deferred, 16 4 to 16 3 4 ; Brazil New Bonds are 8J to 82.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LAUNCH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S YACHT. At twelve o'clock on Wednesday this splendid Fpecimen of British naval architecture was launched front White's celebrated yard into the Medina. The Archduke being a , Portsmouth, and expected down to witness the launch, caused great interest to be excited; numbers assembled, , 1). yachts and merchant vessels were gaily dressed out with colours, as were the different wharfs and consular establish ments. Preparations were made at the Royal Yacht Squa dron House to tire a salute, but the Duke came not, and the vessel was named, by the lads' of the Russian Consul at this port, the Queen Victoria, by permission of her Illajesty. and at the particular request of the Emperor a bust of her Majecy is to grace her bows. Her dimensions are as follow : Keel fir tonnage.. 93lt. Oin. Breadth extreme Depth Burthen in tons, 260. - She is to be manned by forty-tive Wel,hmen. Twenty cne seamen and a master have already arrived and taken charge. She was masted the same evenh.g. Her Majesty is expected to arrive at Osborne House on the 19th inst. Great exertions are making to forward the new buildings. So many men are taken on here and at N"rris Ca-de, that the hay harvest has been very much re tarded for want of hands. Mowers can hardly be obtain eel for money; 6s. and 7s. are given per acre for cutting grass, the usual price being from 3s. 6d. to 4s. LLO YD'S SHIPPING. Lwrpox, JUNE 12.

The sport on the first three days was aburylant, and the most fastidious have pronounced it first rate. The conclusion of the meeting, which, apart from the reg.re:ted absence of her Majesty, took place and r the most felicitous circum stances, did not detract from its promising. annotiore merit. The great feature 34 , sterdsv was the rich prize offered for eonspetition by the Directors of the Gr-oat Western Railway. Though " tarde venit et post long intervallo," it must be received with becoming gratitude. The Public Press. that ever takes the initialise in all that is useful or amusing, deserves popular thanks upon this head, for we do not hesitate to say that, hid it not been for its representations, the great probability is th it the directors would not have thought of petting cpart any portion of the large profits annually derived from the races to the improvement of them. As is generally the ease at the wind.cip of a long meet ing, the attendance yesterday was confined to thi. keen minority, who are always determined to be in at the fi n i s h ; w ho, after the liu-tie, jostl mg, and exci!eme tot the cup day, looked for a good quiet day's racing, without annoyance or i.,terruption, and they were not diw, point , d. B. fore we conclude, we should not forget to compliment Lord Rosslyn and his staff on the efficient manner in which their arduous functions were performed. The starting, judging, weighing and keeping of the course, wore all that might have been expected from parties who on all occasions have pt over] thems-lves eminently qualified for the duties assigns-d to them. The only contretemps worth speaking of were the exhibition of the wrong number in Jericho's race on Wednesday, and the omission of two of Sir Gilbert Hoathcote's horses from the cards on the first day. With regard to the latter we should mention that Lord Exeter, whose horse ran 4econd for one of them, the Ascot Derby, claimed the race on the ground that Brother to Valentissimo had hen scratched. P turned out on investigation that omission arose from a misconception, and the judge's decision was confirmed. The racing yesterday came off cc follows . _ . Match, 100 h ft, Bsi 71b each. T.Y.C.

JUNE i I.—Mr. Gibson, a gentleman employed by Government to make submaraie surveys of the co4.st by weuna of a diving dress, has been here for the last two months, having b en sent by Government to eNanthie the Bee, a sloop or hillyboy, which foundered off the town about three mouths ago, and to unshackle the remaining section of Cap tain Taylor's floating breakwater, which has been moored off itrighton more than a twelvemonth. Mr. Gibson has been et Avn in the Bee five or six times, and has taken a drawing of the vessel and her situation. Ile states that at high water she is about nine fathotns deep, and that she lies upon a rock ; that it would b use less to attempt to raise her, as she is very considerably da maged, and is only kept down by the great weight of ti c l o i n e t el l:: . s . stone which she c.aried. Mr. Gibson has beets under the breakwater, but has not yet succeeded in uns.?ackling it. it Is in by the French Government to make a report been requ , sted the state of the challis, which he Is ab o o n ut e t a o pt d l ;; ;l ass upon plation to erect floating breakwaters, both at Brighton and Dieppe, for which purpose Taylor' s principle, 15..iim formed.

Jullicn has :not neglected to introduce those rna L niflrient vases, fillets with the choice'st flowers, which have hitherto he."ll the prevailing characteristic of the Concerts D'l U. M. Jullicn has, however, made an innovation upon the moral programme of promenade concerts; he gives us vocal as well as instrumental music, and his vocali-ts are, like his instrumentalists, in the very first rank of the profession. Miss Birch and Herr Pischek are engaged for these concerts, and these nal tes last night grave us the beautiful duet " 0 du Gliebile" in exquisite style. M - .nsieur and Mademoiselle Goldberg are likea ise engaged, and in the duet " I Gondolieri," they were rapturously applauded. Herr Hoelzil gave the German song " Der Schmerz," in admirable style; and, altogether, the experiment of the introduction of vocal music into these concerts may be pronounced to have been most successful. The instrumental music consisted of a s-lection of f aourite overtures, sel-ctions, quadrilles, and waltzes, performed as Jullien's band atone can perform them. The house was crowded to suffocation, and we may safely promise to M. Jullicu a prosperous career for his Concerts D'Efr. STAFFORDSHIRE AN() SHROP- SHIRE JUNO I'ION RAILWAY. An - adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this Com pany took place yesterday, at the Offices of the Company, Abingdon-street, to consider the best means of winding up the affairs of the Company. At one o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Brainton. It appeared from the statements made at the meeting, that a great deal of disreputable conduct had taken place in the ma nagement of the affairs of the company. A number of pail ies had been elected on the committee of management to vote sums of money for the purposes of the Company, who never held a single share; and it also appearei that cheques had been isibed to the ofil..Trs of the Company to the amount of 2,5004 for the pu chase of shares, or, as it is termed, " rig ging the market." It was alleged that a sum ~f 3001. had be«.n received by Mr. Kemp, the former chairman of the Com pany, for which he had never accounted, and when asked for an explanation, he only wrote a letter to Mr. Brainton, saying he was going to Paris. It. also appeared that the sum of matey paid up in the way of deposit was 17,000/., of which 3nly 8 0001 remained, while that sum was liable to same emus claims: Mr. TEMPLE, Q C., explarmed that he was not aware when he was on the committee of management that the cheques were for the purpo4e of pu ,chasi n g ah%res. Much disapprobation having been expressed by the share hot lers, a resolution appointing a committee of inves , igition into the accounts, and ascertaining the liabilities of the Company, was apvinted, and the meeting dissolved. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY. Yesterday the new line of railway bet wei.n Colchester and Ipswich was privately opened by its projectors, the directors of the Eastern Union Railway Comp ore, A special train, occupied by the directors and a party of their friends. to the number of about 250, left the Shore , litch station at ten o'clock A.M., and arrived at Colchester at half-past elilven. Almost at the same moment there arrived from Ipswich a train con sisting of fifteen carriages, all tasteuby decorated with flag-, streamers, banners, festoons of flowers, and boughs of laurel, and carrying two b-nds of musicians. The occu pants, a very large proportion of whom were ladies, were persons residing in Ipswich and the adjoining localities, to whom the directors handsomely accosted permission to make a gratuitous trip on the vine. A delay of upwards of an hour having occurred at Colchester, during which period tire travellers from b:e.ti termini partook of refreshments pre pared by the din ctors with a befi , ting regard to taste and elegance, both trains were united, and the enginemen having, in Yankee phrase, "boiled up a good the journey to Ipswich was performed in gallant style. It was a curious siJ,hr, and illustrative of the times, to see the panting brass bound engines, with their glittering retinue of four-and-twenty coaches, in all the beauty and the sheen" of perfect newness. shooting along through corn-fields and grass-meadows at the rate of five-and-thirty miles an hour, amidst . the harmonious claneour of drum=s trumpets, and cymbals, while flags floated joyously over head, and the sun, who had quite a gala-day of it, beamed gloriously all around The new line, which is, in fact, an extension of the trunk line of the Eastern Counties Railway, with which it joins issue at Colchester, is sixteen miles in length. It skirts seine of the miitiles'7 demesnes in England. and runs through a tra t of country remarkable CA. the Tien fertility of its soil and the enchanting b .auty of its scenery. Owing to the abruptness of the undulations, /mil the fre quency of their recurrence, the character of the surface is not peculiarly favourable for the construction of a railway, hut the skill of the engineer appears to have dealt c'everly with every difficulty, and the power of attaining great veloci 4 ) . is agreeably combine 1. on this line with delightful easineis of motion and entire t.bsence of oscillation. For a long portion of the journey the cuttings are very deep, anti the gradient is for some miles together as deep as one in a hun dred. but it not unfrequentle h.:ppens that the line runs for a long district througa table-lands, so that the ruling gradient may on the whole be averag. d at one in the hundred arid twenty-five. The line pass s t trough three towns, Man- ningtre.i, Ardleigh. and Bentley, and it is in contemplation to establish other stations besides these. The engineer of the works is Mr. Peter Bruff. under whose superintendence they have been executed at a cost of 2t 1 .0001. a mile. The special train reached Ipswich at one o'clock, and its arrival was hailed by the en hu-iastic acclamations of the townspeople, who assembled at the terminus in thousands to testily their gratification at an event to them equally novel and interesting. The visitors repaired immediately after their arrival to the demesne of G. 11. Gower, Esq , who kindly placed at the di-posal of the directors during the day his plea , ure grounds, which :ire t picturesqu-ly situAted on the hulks of the Orwell, and on which marquees were erected. A small steam-boat, the River Queen, was spe eiAlly engaged to convey the directors and their friettds up the river t view the sailing and rowing matches. Many hundreds availed themselves of this privilege, and the river presentel a gay ani: animated appearance. Indeed, it is nAthitig more than justice to the directors to admit that they left mthing undone to promote the haoliness of their guests. All business in Ipswich was suspended, every shop was and there appeared to be a general understanding that the day should be spent in eoj.hyment. In the evening the event of the day was celebrated by a public dinner in the k , sqmbly Rooms, White Horse Hotel. Covers were laid for 180, and at half-pa3t five o'clock fully that number of guests sat down to table. The entertainment was in all respects unexceptionable, and the wines were of prime vintage. __ John Chevallier Cobbold, Esq., chairman of the Eastern Union Railway Comp toy, pre-ided, a d the follow ing gentleman were amongst those present Mayor of ,i Ipswich.

The Colchester and Ipswicti Railway, the opening of which they were that day met to celebrate, had not been projected as a matter of gambling or wild speculation.---(Hear. hear.)
