Under the signature O r Delta, the late David Mac beth Moir has long been favourably known to the readers of Blackwood's liagazine, and his premature death last summer was deplored not only by the large circle of friends who had known him and had loved him for his admirable and endearing qualities in do mestic life, but by a very widely-extended list of literary acquaintances, to whom the "triangular" signature hadlong been asso c i a t e d w i t h grate f u l an d pleasant reminiscences. In the biography prefixed to the poems in these volumes, Thomas Aird has, in a most interesting and very d e li g h t f u l manner nar rated the principal incidents of Delta's career, and has done justice to his ma n y most est i ma bl e charac teristics. His indefati ga bl e attent i on to the dut i es o f the medical professio n , l e f t M r. M o i r few opportuni ties . for ind u l g i ng hi s taste for literary pursuits, but those opp ortun i t i es were se i ze d upon with avidity, and the multit u d e o f hi s compos iti o ns c u o n m de p r os t i h tion ec s :rcumstanceF, quite surprising. Those now collected together, w ill be perused with gener a l i nterest. Foremost among t h em i n the "Domestic V erses " i s one little poem— " A L amen t for the Death of a beloved Child"--which has long ren• dered th e name of Delta famous. Spea ki ng o f this poem, " C asa W appy, " Mr. A i rd surm i ses that "it has drawn m ore t ears of mothers t h an an y o ther dirge of our day." In every line it is the heart that speaks, hence n o won d er i ts grea t an d widely diffused popu• laritv. Th e l a t e L or d J e ff re y, writing to Moir, says of the " D omes ti c V e rses," " I cannot resist the im pulse of thanking you with all my heart for the deep gratification you have afforded me, and the soothing, and, I hope, bettering emotions which you have excited. I am sure that what you have written is more genuine pathos than anything almost I have ever read in verse, and is so tender and true, so sweet and natural, as to make all lower recommendationsindif ferent." After such a tribute further commendation is surely needless. As an evidence of the variety of the themes which occupied Delta's muse, we may mention that the contents of these volumes are divided into " Domestic Verses," "Elegiac Effusions," " Poems on Flowers," "Poems Suggested by Cele brated Scottish Localities," " Occasional Poems," (among which are the stanzas for the Burns' festival), " Sonnets," " Poems in reference to Childhood," "Echoes of Antiquity," " Songs," " Ballads," " Tales," and " Miscellaneous Poems"—many of which are excellent in various degrees—all are pleasing—and some few, such as " Casa Wappy," are singularly beautiful. Withont obtaining for Delta any considerable reputation as a poet, these volumes, with the memoir which they contain, must win for him from all who examine them a very sincere re spect and cordial sympathy, sentiments eminently due to his upright character and gentle heart. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 19th, was the adjourned de bate on what was denominated the " Colonial Bishops Bill." The Bill presented a wonderful scarcity of light as to its objects and effects. It was to " relieve" the Colonial Bishops - from something; but what, was to a great extent left to the imagination of the reader. In the present temper of the public, there is little inclina tion to relieve the Bishops from anything, unless it were the trouble of holding offices which they traitorously abuse, and revenues which enable them to serve the pur• inses of the enemy. The word passed round the benches, that the Bill was a Puseyite proceeding; and the feeling against it was so strongly manifested, that the promoters were obliged , to consent to passing to the other Orders of the Day, which is a polite way of send ing a Bill to the tomb of all the Capulets . The adjourned debate on Maynooth College was re sumed; and on its being continued till six of the clock, Mr. Speaker adjourned the House without putting the Question, as is the rule in like cases. In the course of the afternoon, a question was asked on the subject of the new Burmese War. The proper Ministerial organ made reply, that all possible prompti tude had been used to give the Burmese Sovereign the opportunity of " submission." The which was mani festly received by the House as a full and satisfactory establishment of the justice of the war. No inter ference of a third party being permitted in cases of questions asked, there was no opportunity for shaking this comfortable assurance of the House by any intrusive sitting. And thus it is, that we go on with eyes virtu ally closed, in courses which every now and then result in a claim upon three millions of your earnings, and which if history be really the old almanac out of which must be picked the new, may end in something in com parison with which, the paament of three millions will be a bed of roses. It may be a subject of speculation, to calculate what would have been said if a Burmese force had been transmitted to some part of the Anglo- Indian frontier, with adjustment to a day, for leaving room for the " submission" of the Anglo•ludian autho rities. For all this insolence, depend on it, iu one way or other, you will some time pay. On Thursday the Militia Bill was proceeded with in Committee. A stout debate was kept up, in support of exempting the proposed Militiamen from corporal punishment during the periods of assembling for train ing and exercise. The conductors of the movement did not make the best of their case. They had in their favour the fact, that certain " punishments extending to life and limb" were by the existing law not applicable to Militiamen in their chrysalis state of "assembling for training," but only on arriving at the full-blown condi tion of being "embodied." The business-like way therefore would have been, to try to add the " corporal punishment" to the "life and limb." As it was, the motion was negatived by 132 to 87. Another stand was made for limiting the age to twenty-five instead of thirty-five. And here a curious fallacy was held out by the Government, and met with no inconsiderable number of supporters on the opposite side of the House. They said, "If you limit the age to twenty-five, what an unfair thing upon the men under twenty-five!" And much was gravely talked, of "limit ing the area," and " increasing the liability upon the individual." As if the question was anything, but whether a certain number of men to be taken from the public, are taken with least damage to the individuals and to the public, from men of one age or of another. I take leave to put the question in its nakedness, and submit, that if it were proposed to limit the age to those between eighteen and eighteen years and a quarter, with the effect of there being exactly the demanded number of men of that standing in the country, neither more nor less, hardship upon the individuals would not enter as an element at all, provided it to be substantially proved that the total of suffering to the individuals and their connexions would be less in this way than in any other. Under all the disadvantages of the case, it is not wonderful that the motion to insert " twenty-five" was negatived by 89 to 52. Another motion, for not quartering the Militia on inns, &Lt., without consent of the occupiers, was nega tived by 105 to 54. After this a question was raised, which goes far to change the whole complexion of the Bill. The Ministry had inserted in their Bill a clause (25) to the effect that so much of an existing Act (42 G. 3) "as authorises Her Majesty to order and direct the Militia, or any part thereof, to be drawn out and embodied in cases of rebel- lion and insurrection, shall be repealed." They had volunteered this insertion, and gone to the House and the country for support upon the credit of it. And now, upon an accidental expression of opinion from a tingle Member on the Opposition side of the House, they jumped at the withdrawal of this clause. From the gleeful reception of the Government's move by the agricultural portion of the House, it was clear they looked forward to the Militia as a sort of Corn Law Guards, in the course of the renewed struggle which is to take place on that vestion. A Member on the Op positiun side (I think the medical Member for Finsbury) told them plainly, that the abolition of the Corn Laws had only been carried under the imminent \ likelihood of popular commotion, and the present piece of prudence was intended to prevent the operation of the like influ ence again. For my own part, I entirely adhere to the opinion of this Member, as likevvi.e to the notion which p ia ro o m ne ise w l ay " I think I collected from ' some of my constituents, that or another, Militia is to be one of the yourself wron The Ministrtgriadti by compensations." you exa mine who fi na ll y 2 • -iik-atihne anticipation of this result. y it, I think you will not find was carried by 200 imp()) t against 61. d tb not venture for post present on more than moving eobtuse bo "pponed." Which On Friday taut matter was brought before the House, in the form of reported dangers orateqdueion from Lord Palmerston o o n f s th p e ai s n u . bje vv et h o e f n dangers to the Constitution thet the length of being " reported," nobody doubts gbeurt s danger is real. The subject was received with coldness by the House, and with more than coldness by the Ministy. the whole was confirmatory o f the belief, that effect on f the Ministers do not mean to peril themselves that though e a lyes uselessly by unnecessary energy, there is scarcely n retrogra dation, commercial or political, any Species °f they would not receive with that patience whi c h i s so easilyey supplied when the heart is with the event. The result is to involve them in the next heave of the p o li t i cal ocean, and make them partakers both in the cause and in its consequences. On the same night was produced the postponed debate on the withdrawal of the Ministerial proposal to repeal the power of calling out the Militia to act against that inst the more, it was confirmed and remark upon every previouspeople at home. It is needless to say rested their case upon " the feeling of the House;" and if the radiant bearing strengthened. The Ministers r head. As might be of the agricultural party m a y be taken as evidence of feeling, there YI a 3 no want o n that expected, the Government's own clause was expunged, under a mAj J rity of 151 to 61.

It is matter of notoriety that, owing to a series of the influences to which every theatrical management is ex posed, the direction of her Majesty's Theatre has for some time been carried on in the face of difficulties which would have crushed any manager of less energy, tact, and resolution than Mr. Lumley. It is not necessary that we should enter into the nature of the difficulties to which we allude, some of them being obvious to all who are acquainted with the administration of our large theatres, and others being still sub judice. We have hitherto abstained from any observations upon the sub ject, less, perhaps, in the hope that the difficulties in question would cease to exercise their obstructive agency, than because of our belief that it would not be long be fore the leading subscribers to her Majesty's Theatre would make such a demonstration that we should, in recording it, be enabled to speak of those diffi culties as things gone by. We had this confi dence, that the untiring zeal and loyalty Mr. Lum ley has always displayed in labouring to preserve to the patrons of ker Majesty's Theatre that course of high class entertainment for which he originally made the establishment celebrated over Europe could not fail to be duly appreciated, and, in his hour of trial, to be re membered, by the body of noblemen and gentlemen to whom the manager of an Italian opera must look for sanction and support. The representatives of the upper classes, upon whose continuous succour the Italian opera must be dependent in England, have had Mr. Lumley's management under their eye for several years, and we felt assured that the system of direction, the individual steps of which we have recorded, week by week, through so many brilliant seasons, was sure to receive, not only a fair, but a kind and considerate verdict, from such a jury as had been, for those seasons, impanelled in the boxes of her Majesty's Theatre. Therefore, without taking up any of the numerous topics which have been for some time floating upon the surface of town-talk in connexion with the Haymarket opera (one flagrant in stanc e excepted, in which common morality rather than managerial rights was the question), we have merely continued to accord to her Majesty's Theatre that jus tice which is due from the public preiss to a public establishment. The demonstration we anticipated was made on Satur day last. A meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, in terested in supporting the director of her Majesty's Theatre, had been invited to assemble that day in the concert-room of the theatre. The names of the distin guished persons at whose requisition the meeting came a together are sufficient to show its na ture. These names those of the Duke of Clevel and, the Duke of Lein eter, the Marquis of Clanricarde, his Excellency the Baron Brunnow, and Sir Ralph Howard. Upwards of 100 influential patrons of the opera were present, among them being the Duke of Leinster, Duke of Cleveland, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marquis of Worcester , Sir Anthony de Rothschild, his Excellency Baron Brune now, his Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio, his Excel lency Baron Rehausen, Earl of Shelburne, Earl of Har rington. Lord Ward, Viscount Clifden, Lord Cran bourn, Viscount Anson, M.P., General the Hon. H. H. Cavendish, Sir Ralph Howard, Bart., M.P., Sir John - Bayley, Bart., Hon. G. S. Smythe , M .P., Mr. Crombie, Sir William Abdy, Bart., Lord G. Paget, .M.P., Sir B Andrew Barnard, Sir Henry Webb , B art., Sir Thomas Lennard, Lord Wm. Lennox, W. M . Tbackeray, Henry Baring, M.P., Mr. Budd, Colonel Dixon, R. W. Packe, M.P., Mr. Norman Macdonald, H. Brereton Trelawny, M.P., C. Barry Baldwin, M.P., General Sir A. Woodford, Mr. Bligh, Mr. George Tudor, Mr. Franks, Mr. Albany Fonblanque. The general tone of the meeting was most satisfactory to those who see in the preservation of the present di rection a guarantee that her Majesty's Theatre shall present to its subscribers the highest musical or choreo graphic talent available for their entertainment. Ample justice was done to the exertions of Mr. Lumley, and habitues of many years' standing bore testimony to the eminence to which he had raised the theatre. The false and malignant rumours which bad been spread in reference to that gentleman were adverted to and con demned, and one of the most distinguished noblemen present, while admitting that differences of opinion might fairly exist as to certain details of management, upon which no two men wou ld pro b a bly agree, briefly sketched the history with every advantage of e xc l us i ve of the Haymarket managements from the time of M r . T ay l or, to s h ow that whereas, patronage and absenc e of rivalry, former directi ons h a d i nvar i a bly failed, Mr. Lumley, with extraordinary opposition and divided support, had hitherto kept her Majesty's Theatre in a position worthy its reputation. Such ballets, it was observed, as Mr. Lumley bad put upon the stage had perhaps never been seen elsewhere in the world, and there was scarcely a great lyric artist in Europe who had not appeared upon his boards. The only new singer of eminence who had not been heard at her Ma jesty's Theatre was Madlle. Wagner, and Mr. Lumley could not, when doing all in his power to secure that lady, foresee the course to which her friends would advise her. The strongest assurances were given that such assist ance should be afforded as would enable Mr. Lumley to carry on effectually the management of the theatre, and resolutions to that effect were agreed to. The resolutions were in substance as follows: " 1. That, considering the beneficial influence which her Majesty's Theatre has exercised for nearly a century in promoting and extending the musical taste of the country, it is desirable that measures should be taken by this meeting to support her Majesty's Theatre. " 2. That, considering the energy and perseverance which the director of this establishment has displayed in the cultivation of the highest works of art, and in pro viding for the public taste and amusement, during a period of extraordinaryedifficulty, this meeting will sup port and assist the director in his efforts to surmount the difficulties of the establishment. _ THE LATE "AFFAIR OF HONOUR." The Hon. G. S. Smythe and Colonel Romilly, the two combatants in the " affeir of honour" which came off on Friday last, left town, attended by their seconds, Captain the Hon. Captain Vivian, M.P., and the Hon. John Fortescue, M.P., by the South-Western Railway, at an early hour in the morning, and proceeded as far as the Weybridge station, where, by previous arrange ment, they had agreed to alight. The appearance of four strange gentlemen at this quiet station was calcu lated to excite no little observation, and with a view to disarm suspicion of any hostile intentions the pistol cases carried by two of the gentlemen were for the nonce con verted into something like sketch-books, with which the party trudged away us if intent upon an artistic excur sion in the neighbourhood. They had not gone very far before an impression that they might possibly be watched seems to have entered their minds, and one of the party returned to the station and chartered the only " fly" in attendance for the purpose of conveying them some little distance into the interior. A difficulty now arose ss to how the combatants should be disposed. It was not very desirable that two gentlemen entertaining such deadly intentions should be " cooped up" within reach of each other's noses inside on old postchaise for three or four miles. At length it was fseogested that Mr. Smythe should mount the box, and that Colonel Romilly should go insideewith the seconds. Mr. Smythe readily yielded his assent to enjoy the fresti uik. and away the party drove some two or three mile-, nu'li th e y arrived at the boundary of Lord Ellesmere's 1141ektbild estate, where all the gentlemen alighted, auu having given the coachman an injunction not to leave his horse, they struck a path across some greensward, and entered a wood on the rising ground above. A dell on the other side of this wood, partially hidden from observation in every direction, was selected as a con venient spot for the settlement of the dispute. Mr. Smythe having declined to withdraw the expres sions of which his colle ague comp l a i ne d, and the duty of measuring the ground > having fallen upon Captain Vivian, the gallant officer proceeded with his task quietly and deliberately, marking 12 paces in a very business-like manner. The principals were then conducted to their positions, and Mr. Fortescue was on the point of putting the ominous question, "_Are you ready, gentlemen?" when a cock pheasant, Which had been a quiet observer of the scene thus far, suddenly rose within a few yards of the combatants, and with a loud cry dashed into the adjoining wood. This unto ward circumstance occurring at such a moment caused no little excitement among the party, who at first feared they had been surprised. The alarm having subsided, the combatants resumed their places and exchanged shots, as is known, without Effect, when Colonel Romilly having expressed himself satisfied, they left the ground. The party returned to the station in the manner of their arrival, and thence to London by railway, but not a word was exchanged by the principals. SPORTING NOTES. No. ccxxxir. THE PROBABLE FATE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE SEVENTY-THIRD DERBY, AND THE WINNER SELECTED. (Concluded from No. CCXXXL) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—Ia my last observations I commented upon the northern horses; I now resume my task with Mr. Steb bings'. ALFRED THE GREAT, by Orlando out of Dominus, by Bran out of Kalmia. This horse formerly rejoiced in the name of Fortunio, and is said to be at the present time the property of Mr. Shafto, which, however, I cannot state for a fact. He has appeared in public bat once—at Doncaster, when a two years old, where, with Bst 71b up, he won a sweepstakes over the T. Y. C., beating Lady Harriet, Bst 41b, by a neck; Vortex, Hyacinth, and Helen Faucit being in the latter's rear. At this time he was not properly prepared, and there are some doubts entertained about his going to the post on Wednesday thoroughly in form. Ido hold with the general opinion expressed of this horse, and consider he is tnore likely to be victorious over the Doncaster than the Epsom course. Dawson, this year, will have his stable represented by Mr. Harrison's ch c KING OF TRUMPS, by Velocipede out of Mrs. Gill, by Victor out of Lady Fractious. It is well known that this horse until lately has been doing very little work, and although Dawson is a very clever man in the art and mystery of training, he cannot ac complish an impossibility—in three words, he cannot win. That mysterious animal WOMERSLEY, by Birdcatcher out of Cinizelli, by Touchstone out of Brocade, about whom so many extraordinary reports have gained cre dence during the winter, has at last come in earnest, having been backed rather stiffly during the past week. He is perfectly dark, and I believe has scarcely been subjected to what we may call a trial. His blood is undeniable; his size, form, and style of going very good; but for the same reason which I remarked just now con cerning the King of Trumps, /am afraid will not stand much chance of finding his way home victoriously in the Derby fray. It is said that the last-named animal's stable com panion YOUNG HAMMOND, by Ithuriel out of Easter, will also run. Lik e unto W omers ley he is as yet per fectly dark: in my opinion he will turn out to be a re spectable handicap horse—nothing more. The Wizsrd of the North's Derby string is, as usual, somewhat long, consisting, for the most part, of very inferior horses. DANIEL O'ROURKE, by Irish Bird catcher out of Forget-me•not, by Hetman Platoff out of Oblivion, by Jerry, it seems is the pick of the stable, and, in my opinion, a very bad pick, too. This horse was one of my earliest fancies for th e race un d e r con sideration, having been one of the finest foals I ever saw, and likewise one of the most unpromising looking three years old. Last year his two performances did not say much in his favour, having been beaten in the first by Augur, and in the second getting no better place than a bad fifth to BA Hind. His exhibition this year for the Two Thousand was quite on a par with• his previous performances. Notwithstanding that he will be tooled by Bu'ler, by which I consider he will have as good as 7lb advantage over many horses in the race, he has no chance of obtaining a place. The other four, KINGFISHER, HYACINTH, P HA NTOM, and MARINELLA COLT, I have not the smallest fancy for whatever; three of them, however, will probably run. I cannot conceive for an instant how Major Martyrs can imagine he has any chance of winning a race like this with such a horse as CeemuLsiosr; he had much better let him remain at home in his stable. 1 Mr. Farrance's JOE MILLER, by Venison out of Wit tioism, although the winner of the Chester Cup in a canter, will be no winner here. Kent's couple, I presume, will both start; HOME BREWED, however, only to do th e needful for his stable companion. HARBINGER, by Touchstone out of Cuckoo, after his trial with O ffi cious, was con s id ered to be quite good enough to win the Derby. I do not understand this species of reasoning, but I exp ect h e will run well; an d, as he will have the great assi s t ance of Nat, will possibly finish forward. W. Daimon will send TH E S URVEYOR, by the Doctor out of Fairy Queen, to the post. Notwithstanding, this nag, it is said, will have the s kilf ul aid of Job Matson, the idea of his winning is perfectly ridic u l ous . That carefully preserved h orse, CHIEF BARON NI CHOLSON, by the Baron out o f Ally Croaker, it is ru moured has not been alto get h er the thing at times ex pressed, has been taken too much care of.

The attraction of Day's lot will be centred in LITTLE f ist g a u Y r i e ng ver p y o f w o e r r u s ; rdinshtahiel HARRY, by Epirus out of Fraudulent, who, without he of se em i ng th e " blue ribbon of the Turf" for his owner I, his last year's form, cannotis very possesswonderfully the bestimproved chanceupon his trial the magnates of the stable were perfectly masa will out out the afterwards invest ing large sums upon his chance; and as b e is in the fied of his capabilities by immediately best of condition, and will be steered by that clever jockey Alfred Day, I think', he is certain to be one of the first three. . work for him.

BARBARIAN, MISSIVE, and ORELIO, I shall dismiss in VORTEX, it i s Said, a few words, not having the least idea that either can finish any where near the front, much less 3 be a winner. Last ou the list that I consider worth a r emar k, but by no means the least, is Mr. Merry's 6,500/. speculation, BOBBIE NOBLE, by Pantaloon out of Phryne, by Touch stone, out of Decoy, by Filho d_ T a Puta out of Finesse, by Peruvian—Violante, by John Bull. e; 8 -,--- horsey couple of performances last year were certa inly the b ea t in public that any candidate f or th e present Derby has accomplished np to the present _ some t i me; ae but so st range are the reports made about him, from good, some t d' an_ so con ra ictor from bad quarters, a Y are they, ossible to give that it is almost imp decided opinion of his chance until his arrival at Epsom.

Trains will run each day from 7to 9, at the ordinary fares, and additional fast trains from 9.10 to 1.20 on Tuesday and Thursdays; the Derby and Oaks days from 9.10 to 1.30. A special express train will also leave the London bridge terminus on the Derby and Oaks days at 1.45, P.M. precisely, arriving in time for the race. This will be found a great accommodation to mercantile men in the city. In order to lessen as much as possible the difficulty of obtaining tickets on the Great Days, the company intend to send one of their clerks to Tatteriall's, where, as well as at various other places specified in the advertisements, return tickets may be obtained daily from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. In connexion with the meeting itself, the arrangements are tho same as last year ; Cla►k will officiate as judge, Mr. Hibburd as starter, Mr. Manning as clerk of the scales, Mr. Starling as assistant clerk of the course, and Mr. Faller Andrews will be in charge of the enclo sure. Thus the whole Newmarket staff will be in office, a guarantee that everything will be en reyte. The course is is the best condition. LATEST BETTING IN TOWN.

She had been with her night and day, up to the present time, and she remained without variation in the same state of mind and action. By a juror —Her health had been good; had only two medical visits in France. By another juror —She did not know persons. Maria Henty, housemaid to Madame Pochis, deposed she had known Miss Hughes three years; saw her first at Madame Pechie, had been with h er every day since, and had always found her in the same insensible and imbecile state as exhibited this day. Had been waiting maid since the 3d of April. The jury immediately returned a verdict, dating her unsoundness of mind from April, 1844.

The dinner and wines were of the very best description, and the rich mess-plate of the corps was displayed to great ad vantage. A portion of the old colours carried on the 6th of May, 1811, and which had waved triumphantly before the embattled hosts of France, were hung up opposite the banners now used in the reg iment, p and reminded the guests of " Auld lang tpyne.' After " The Health of her Majesty the Queen" had been drank with all the honours, SHADFORTH, the senior officer present, gave " The Memory of those who had fallen at Albuera ;" drank, of course, in silence. Tne MAJort then proposed " The Health of Lieu tenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney and the sur vivors of Albuera," coupling with these the names of Major-General M'Donald, C. 8., and Colonel Browne, Commissioner of Police, the only two persons at table who were present at Albuera, and who sat at his right and 1 , -ft hand. _ Major• General APDONALD returned thanks in an eloquent and soldierlike manner. He said that al though he and his friend Colonel Browne were the only Albuera men present, he saw several officers whose fathers had s , :rved in that glorious action, in particular Major Shadforth, whose father had lost a teg i❑ the 57th there, and Captain Inglis, son of the late Sir William Inglis, K.C.8., who was lieute nant-colonel commanding the 57th in this gallantly fought battle. He added that when the regiment had sustained a loss of two-thirds of its numbers, the lieutenant-colonel called out in a loud voice, " Close your ranks, 57th—die hard 1" which ex pression was the origin of the name by which the corps is still called. Major-General M'Donald also quoted the very flattering terms used by Marshal Beresford in his dispatch, with reference to the 57th. The Major-General's manly speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm; when he again rose and proposed " The health of Lord Hardinge (Co lonel of the corps), and of the 57th Regimen t." He stated that to Lord Hardinge, then a lieutenant colonelw ere most u po d n ee t p h l e y st i a n ff d , e the bte d B: raintidshtharmy of Albuera deci sion and promptitude at a critical m at om te ent is andth unflinching courage of the 57ti l regiments, the glorious result of the and day so mewa m a i nlyo he r due. proposed the The toast was most wa rm l y responded to . The PRESIDENT (Major Shadfor th ), after returning thanks for Lord Hardinge and th e 57tb toast of "The Fusilier Brigade, and the ir guest, Colonel Browne , who served i n the fri e ndi an d val Welsh in this great action." He comme n t e d in wa rms.°- terms upon the noble conduct of the Fusilier brigade, which had contributed so largely to the viotory, a n d is so beautifully described by Napier in his " History of the Peninsular War." Colonel BRowNE returned thanks in suitable terms, and said he had come from Dublin on purpose to be present on so interesting an occasion, and would have gone ten times the distance to meet the old "Die. herds." Other toasts were given, and the party did not break up until long after the midnight hour, having past a most convivial evening, which will long be re membered by those who partook of the festivity. The fine band of the 57th contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. CO! VIAND OF TH6 CHANNEL FLEET PORTSMOUTH, MAY 22.—Rear-Admiral of the Blue Armar Lowry Corry, is appointed to command the above force. He hoisted his flag at the mizen of her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, 90, at Spithead, this afternoon, at three o'clock, when the Prince Regent saluted the Port- Admiral commanding in chief with seventeen guns, which the port flag-ship Victory acknowledged with thirteen. Rear-Admiral Corry entered the navy the Ist of August, 1805, as first-class volunteer, on board the Diadem, 64, and after assisting in the operations against the Cape of Good Hope and Buenos Ayres, returned to England in May, 1807, as midshipman of the Sampson, 64. He then joined the Leander, assisted at the bombard ment of Copenhagen, and was afterwards wrecked near the entrance of Milford Haven, in January, 1808. From that period until April, 1812, Mr. Corry served on the Home and Mediterranean stations; on board the War spite, 74, after which he was successively appointed 17th June, 1812, and 29th July, 1813) to the Nereus, 32, and Montagu, 74, cn the Brazilian station; 28th May, 1814, to the Impregnable, 104 (flag-ship of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, in which he escorted to this country the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia); and sth September following, to the Tay, 24. Having been promoted to the rank of com mander 13th June, 1815, and invested 14th October, 1820, with the command of the Satellite, 18, he next sailed for the East Indies, where he became (23d July, 1821) flag-captain, in the Leander, 60, to Sir Henry Blackwood ; in February, 1822, he invalided home, in the Semarang, 28. Assuming command (4th April, 1835) of the Barham, 50. Captain Corry con veyed the Earl of Durham to Constantinople, and while stationed in charge of a squadron on the coast of Spain, received the thanks of the goeen, her Ministers, and the captains general of the various provinces, for his exertions in landing with the various ships companies under his orders, and preserving to her Majesty the towns of Barcelona and Valenois. The Barham being paid ( ff in April, 1839, Captain Corry commissioned, in September, 1844, the Firebrand steam-frigate, for the purpose of commanding an experimental squadron of brigs, and on his return to port was transferred to the he has since taken part in other Sur bt;iBalo,crinnizwesh.ich ship A GIN PALACE INTERIOR.
