What nation was there which had kept its own soil, which had never allowed one foot of land to be occupied beyond the very ground upon which the soldiers with difficulty stood, like the heroic .nation, the Confederate States of America. (Prolonged uproar.) We might have recognised the South - Without the smallest fear of war. If Earl Russell, in con junction with the Emperor of the French, had recognised, not assisted, the Confederate States, it was impossible that the Federal Government, with a great war upon their hands, could have ventured—(great outburst of groans, hoots, &c., and three cheers for President Lincoln, which drowned the conclusion of the sentence)—it was impossible that the Federal Government could have gone to war with England and France. This country ought never to be in such a state that she was obliged to flinch from doing what was right from fear of any country in the world. 'With reference to the protection of Canada, was not Ca nada filled with our own kindred, and was it not the duty of every one of us to undergo any sacrifice rather than any of our Queen's subjects or fellow-countrymen should be forced to give up his property to foreigners? It was our plainest duty, and if we flinched from it we were un worthy of continuing a nation. (Cheers, and cries of " Leave off.") This was said to be a question of diffi culty, but there were days when Englishmen said that when the defence of their fellow-countrymen was con cerned they would hear of no difficulties ; and if the states men who were in office found they could not overcome this difficulty others must be put in who would know how to do what they (the Conservatives) wanted. (Uproar.) He would now give place to his opponent. He stood before them as a Conservative candidate, and if the majority of the electors were of opinion that the principles he had enunciated were those which were for the benefit of the country—(" No, no !" and cheers)—he was confident they would carry this election, and when they did he should be happy to serve them te.the best of his ability. (Cheers.) Mr. Brett occupied an hour and a half. TISABiEE'S LOVE STORY. L By the Author of " John and I," "Dr. Jacob," ,Sce.

Smith, Payne, and Smiths, 1, Lombard- streei, This Home was opened in April. 1864. It was designed to 1 , take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender ' age precludes their admission to the lt,fuges. Such are those who, from' neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their child= in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h 'lp her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must ail no Into "the house ?" Is it doing the bast we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others- as we would they should do unto ,is that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "inn away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statis:ics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn th e beginnings of crime. On the other hand. there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. Lite Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Inslitution - presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat cf their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mendino , the c othes, &a. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &o. Ia this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist. By election of she subscribers. Pops thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years 0' age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committ e have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the committee, Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full ; they will then be held periodi cally Forms of application for the admission of children may b e had at the Home, and of the Honorary Secretary, THE COD-LIVER OIL of DEROCQUE, Paris, 55, Boulevard Sebastopol, Sole Purveyor to the Hospitals.

The numbers in Ifundalk were— Kennedy 499 M'Clintock 398 Majority —lol Mr. M'Clintock had a majority of 12 at Ardee. ROCHDALE. The nomination of candidates for the representation of this borough, in the room of the late Mr. Cobden, took place yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, on hustings erected in the open space in front of the Wellington Hotel. The proceed ings appeared to excite the utmost interest. Not only the area named, but all the streets which converge to that point were densely crowded with people to the extent of about 100 yards in each direction, and it was estimated that from 15,000 to 20, 000 were collected within ight, though certainly not within hearing, of what took place on the hustings. Although in other respects veiy orderly and good-tempered, the crowd was from the beginning quite as noisy as is cus tomary in the contests of Lancashire boroughs, and the dis mal uproar of groaning and cheers seemed to increase as the morning passed. The noise was too continuous to allow of any speaker being cell heard for more than a few yards from the hustings ; the cheers and counter-cheers, therefore, could have little significance as to the actual expressions of the speakers they interrupted, but must rather have been provoked by ejaculations from the midst of the crowd, or mostly from mere rivalry in exertions of the lungs of the parties opposed to each other. In the nearer portion of the crowd the favourite cry seemed to be " Three cheers for Bright," for which, whenever de manded, every speaker had to pause in the midst of the phrase he happened to bo uttering. Before the nomination began there were aLo " Three cheers for John Bright's son," and "Three fcr Mr. Potter's son," when those youth ful gentlemen came m the hustings. In the numerous rows of buildings affording a view of the scene the windows had been let for high prices, and all were filled, chiefly with ladies, and a considerable number of spectators looked down from the roofs. The candidates were vigorously cheered by their rehpective parties when they made their appearance upon the hustings. The MAYOR (Mr Tatham), who presided as returning officer, at the opening of the proceedings gave expression to his personal sense of the loss sustained by the consti tuency in the lamented death of Mr. Cobden. Mr. J. S. ENTwistE, of Fox Holes, then proceeded to nominate the Conservative candidate, Mr. William Baliol Brett, Q.O. In doing so he took occasion to comment upon Mr. Bright's speech in support of the Liberal candidate, in which Lord Derby had been referred to as the advocate of a Protectionist policy which condemned millions of the people to pauperism. Mr. Entwisle, on the other hand, claimed for Lord Derby the recognition of his efforts during the cotton famine for the relief of the Lancashire operatives, and he aeked where was Mr. Bright during all that time and why was he not at the great county meeting in Man chester when Lord Derby's donation of L5,OOO—(A Voice —" Not a day's wages !")--and his eloquent and convincing speech produced the largest subscription that ever was raised in one room ? Mr. JONATHAN FIELD, jun., seconded the nomination. Mr. HENRY B_Eiscra - , nominated Mr. Thomas Bailey Potter, of Manchester, as a fit and proper person to repre sent tho constituency as a Liberal whose politics closely resembled those of Mr. Cobden. Mr. G. L. Asirwonni,in seconding the nomination, com plained that personalities had been introduced in this elec tion by the Conservatives, and, in reply to the observations of Mr. Entwisle, said (alluding to his own connexion with the Central Relief Committee), that he knew rather more about the distress than that gentleman did, and could tell him that if Lord Derby - and the Lord-Lieutenant of the county (Lord Sefton) had not been prompted by others, it was very doubtful whether the county meeting would ever have been called at all. Mr. Bright had other duties to per form at that time, but if he did not attend the meeting ho gave him (Mr. Ashworth) what no other gentleman in Rochdale did, the unlimited command of his purse from the very commencement of the distress. And, he asked, to whom were the operatives indebted for the blessings they had enjoyed for many years past in the general prosperity of this country if not to the unparalleled labours of Richard Cobden and John Bright ? There being no third candidate nominated, Mr. BRETT next made his speech to the assemblage, and it must be understood by the reader that the interruption of all the speakers by the tumultuous shouting was so con stant as to render it useless frequently to particularize the manner in which many of the utterances were received. He said that now he had the pleasure of standing by the side of an honourable and not unworthy opponent he would in vite him to explain himself on certain subject; instead of using merely the shibboleths of his party to give the rea sons upon which his faith rested. With regard to the obser vations of the last speaker, he must remark that he never before had the pleasure of seeing that gentleman, but of all the persons he ever heard who were little entitled to com plain of personal allusions, he thought Mr. A s h wor th w as the last. He had told the Conservatives duri ng this week h was4‘ disgusted," that they were " audacious, " and t hhe ever met their party h e wou l d make them that he h e a t if not only hear, but feel him. For his, (Mr. Brett's) part, he (Great laughter he would rath er f eel than hear Mr. Ap h a laughter and appl ause.) W i thout the m could lwleosrt t only Gr particle of anger against that gent l eman, he must sh. tell him that ho had not the commonest rudiments of elo quence—(ehl oh, and ironical cheers)—f or h e h a d ye t t o - learn that exaggerated adjectives spoil plain substantives. He would now turn to the speech of a really great orator who had addressed the constituency during the last week. , (" Three cheers for Bright.") They 'were right to cheer talent wherever they found it. (Hear, hear.) But no one who understood the art of speaking could have failed to remark the skill with which Mr. Bright had tried to divert their attention to things past, and away from the question to be decided at this election. Mr. Bright's remark that his (Mr. Brett's) voice had not been heard in opposition to the laws of 20 years back, would only be paralleled for reason ableness if it were answered that Mr. Bright's own voice was not heard in public when Catholic emancipation and the Reform Act were the questions under debate, and that Mr. Bright never came forward in political life till his own private interests were at stake. Mr. Bright had taunted him with wishing the population to be less numerous, be cause he had said they were too numerous for everybody to be enfranchised with fairness to all classes. And actually those gentlemen who stood by Mr. Potter put their intel lects beneath the feet of Mr. Bright when he ventured on a fallacy such as that. Whatever Mr. Bright might say, he (Mr. Brett), though a follower of Lord Derby, was not to be understood as bound to follow whatever Lord Derby might do. He thanked his God that he had the power of thinking for himself, and he acted always upon that which he believed to be right and just for all. But he never could believe that in this county of Lancaster Mr. Bright expressed the senti ments of the people—(" Three cheers for Bright)"—when he spoke of Lord Derby as one who would deprive the people of food. When he thus spoke Mr. Brightgave room to the ob servation sometimes made on him, that his heart was not so warm, and his sympathies with other people not so strong, as they ought to be. Coming now to the real business of this meeting, the first question that must arise was the question of the Church. (" Oh !" and groans.) On this oc casion both candidates were for perfect religious equality ; but while Mr. Potter was a member of the Liberation So ciety, he (Mr. Brett) was for the maintenance of the union. of the State and the Established Church, of the supremacy of the Queen and of the bench of bishops in the House of Lords, where they sat for the benefit ofthe whole commu nity; and he would not agree to take from the clergy the property which had been given to them, in order that they might be set apart for the assistance in religion of any per- Son who was willing to be under their ministration. Ho asked his opponent to say distinctly what he meant to do with the Establishment, or in what respect he meant to do away with it. His answer the other night, that "when the case arose he would consider it," was not enough. If he was a favourite pupil of Mr. Cobden, he ought to have made up his mind long ago. As to the question of reform, he (Mr. Brett) had before now argued in the presence of the electors that not every Englishman.—he did .not.say no Englishman—had the right of voting for the election of his representatives. (Greatgroaning and cheering.) The rights of Englishmen were always those which were contained in some known law, and he invited Mr. Potter to show, if he could, that at any time in England the whole population did exercise that right, or to point to any statute in which it was given to them. But although they might not have the right, it migl be very politic and expedient that they should have it. That was the next question to be dis cussed. This country was composed of various classes. The working classes were so numerous that if every one had a vote they would outnumber all the others together, and he had heard one o the speakers of this morning say that he desired them to have the right, in order that they might have exclusive power in the country. (Cries of " No.") But was it not going for something fair and forward if he (Mr. Brett) said he was prepared to give the franchise to as many of the working class as could pos sibly be admitted, having regard to the safety of the other classes ? Most of them were taught to believe there was magic in a £6 franchise. But what difference could it make to them if a large number, a fair and sufficient number of them were admitted, what the line of franchise was ? A uniform franchise had never been known in England. He objected to a £6 franchise, because it would admit an unfair and predominating number of the working class. In this borough at present there were no more than 1,260 electors, a£6 franchise would introduce upwards of 2,000. And as Mr. Potter talked of that as an instalment, and was in favour of a manhood franchise, let them consider, looking at these streets now filled as far as they could see mostly with one class, whether there would be a fair representa tion of classes inßochdale. (Criesof "Yes.") They thought at present they would follow Mr. Bright and do what he told them, but he knew that the first time Mr. Bright him self should contradict them (" Three cheers for Bright ") they would take no more notice of what he said. Ho (Mr. Brett) would not give exclusive power to any class—to the aristocracy or to the middle classes—(A Voice.— "13s. 4d.! "),—or to the class of that gentleman who had just made that remarkable observation. However un palatable it might be to them, he would not shrink from telling them that he would not submit to put under their arms the heads of all the other classes. (Laughter and cheers.) This was the constitutional question of the day. It was this question for the raising of which Mr. Bright had said, almost in express terms, although he was so angry that political discussiOn shoUld take place upon the death of an eminent person—(C. Three cheers for Bright ") —he and his party were only awaiting the death of Lord Palmerston. (A Voice—" I wish he was dead now.") Mr. Potterr had not darkly disclosed the object with which he and his coadjutors advocated the entire extension of the suffrage ; he desired to alter the social condition of the classes of this country. He desired to do away with our laws of succession and entail of land—that he considered "the agglomeration" of land a great evil. Those who de sired that change could not, if they meant anything of the smallest value in even their own conception, confine them selves to doing away with the mere law of entail, but must insist that no man should have the right of leaving his landed property to his eldest son alone ; for it was but once in a hundred times that a landlord died intestate. Had Mr. Potter considered what would be the condition of the great estates of this country, when those propertieswere divided which had always gone with the family house that had been looked up to for generations as the house of the family—had ho considered how that family house was to bo kept up ? (Laughter.) Or if the estate was to be di vided, did he mean that a new house should be built upon each division or subdivision? Had he made up his mind that the agriculture of this country would be benefited by the subdivision of lands as we had seen it in other coun tries ? He (Mr. Brett) did not believe last the mass of the people themselves, in their calmer moments, were prepared so to break up those old families which linked themselves to the hearts of all in their neighbourhood who had lived under them from generation to generation. Another ques tion of interest was the Permissive Bill, and he should like to know distinctly what were Mr. Potter's views upon it. (Uproar and "He has given them.") Were the elec tors prepared to submit to a law giving to a majority the power of preventing the sale of beer and spirits to those who wanted them ? (Upi oar.) He was clearly and dis tinctly against giving any such power of coercion to any body of people. It was an unnecessary encroachment upon personal liberty, and one to which he would never give the smallest countenance. (Cheers and groans.) Another ques tion in which the electors must feel great interest was the legislation of the present Lord Chancellor upon what was called the County Courts Bill. Nothing could be of more immediate interest both to the small trader and the work ing classes. The Lord Chancellor introduced this bill in his ordinary way. The Lord Chancellor was accustomed to say that whatever he proposed was a real advance in im proving our legislation, but that everything opposing it was audacious and ignorant. • (Uproar.) Upon introducing this bill the Lord Chancellor said that imprisonment for debt was the last relic of a barbarous age—(cries of "Let's hear Potter" anduproar)—and he said he introduced it to do away with the credit system on small accounts. Nothing could be more objectionable to the small trader and working classes than to do away with credit in times of difficulty. The Lancashire operatives had nobly passed through times of frightful difficulty, and it was for their benefit that they were able, while they were receiving no wages, to obtain credit, and it was also for the advantage of the shopkeeper who otherwise would have had little or no custom. (Re newed cries for Potter, and uproar.) The mode in which the Lord Chancellor proposed to carry out his scheme was to do away with the power of county courts to imprison a man for debt when it was proved he could pay. The pro posed legislation was wholly unnecessary and wholly un just. The bill was thrown out by the efforts of the Conser vative peers in the House of, Lords. (Groans.) But the Lord Chancellor when he withdrew it stated in terms— (renewed uproar)—that he was convinced the principle was right, and that he would introduce it again at the ear liest opportunity. The Lord Chancellor had put into it a clause diametrically opposed to his own principle, saying it should not be applied to county courts, but it was easy to see he was determined to carry it when he could. It was therefore for the electors of Rochdale to consider whether they would give a majority to the present Ministry to carry that measure now, or in the next Parliament, a measure that was of far more importance to their daily comfort and good than any of ,these votes, which when they had got them they would hardly care to use. (Uproar.) He would now speak upon a subject which was not less important than any yet discussed—of their duty as a people with re gard to foreign war, and of the assistance they ought to give to every one of the colonies. (Cries of "Time, time," and uproar.) Every man was for peace so long as it could be preserved with honour and safety. He would ask his worthy antagonist what he meant by "strict non-interven tion." (Uproar.) There might come a day when it was necessary for this country to risk the hazards of war to protect ourselves from invasion and our fellow-countrymen from molestation in every part of the world. (Loud dis turbance.) The policy of Earl Russell had been wholly wrong. (Renewed disturbance.) Lord Russell had lost us the alliance of every Power in Europe ; he had made the Emperor of the French cold in the alliance so much prized. (Loud shouts of " Time !") Lord Russell had weakened our alliance with Prussia and Russia, and had left us without an ally in Europe. (Loud cries of impa tience, necessitating the interference of the Mayor, who said Mr. Brett would soon finish his remarks.) If Earl Russell had not by insulting other Governments weakened our hold upon these countries he might have done that which he ought to have done—prevented the cruel a ggression upon those brave and injured Danes. (Groans.) If Lord Rus sell had maintained in Europe the proper position of this country he might, without the smallest danger of involv ing 'us in war, have acknowledged the independence of the South—(tremendous uproar)—which the South had so valiantly deserved. (Uproar.) There was no more clear right of any nation than that the moment they had made themselves a nation they were entitled to be so recognisedatio n by all the Governments of the world. And to what did those heroes belong who had won hundreds hadmain tained battlesn and had done that which was harder still—whodis tress s their independence in the days of t heir and tress ? All had heard of the heroic Stonewall Jackson, admired Gen. Lee—to what nation did el those men belong ? Would Englishmen insult them . by w a_t h g t _t e h y em with the h had spent nation they abhorred, and against Jal Mr. T. B. POTTER, having met with a mingled reception, said, at the commencement, he wished to tell them that he was not a master of the art of speaking like his hon. oppo nent, and had not had the education of a professional legal pleader. (Uproar.) He was not sure that the art of speech might not, according to the Machiavellian doctrine, be used rather to disguise sentiments than to lay them candidly before the public •;. and if the electors of Rochdale wished to be represented by a lawyer let them return Mr. Brett. (Uproar.) His hon. opponent had asked him not only not to speak in the shibboleth of party, but to explain a reason for the faith that was in him. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Potter) appealed to the experience of the past whether the exten sion of popular power, whether the carrying out of the principles of free trade, had not been a blessing to the com munity. (Loud cheers, and counter-cheers.) He was pre pared to follow the great leaders of public opinion, and to tread in the path in which they might go. (Uproar.) He felt bound to answer one portion of his hon. opponent's speech, because he was sure that gentleman had made one statement in ignorance. It was that statement in which he said John Bright was actuated by selfish motives. (Great uproar.) When Mr. Brett spoke of Mr. Bright not having taken part in important political questions previous to the Corn Law agitation, he evidently spoke in ignorance of the matter. Mr: Bright fought as a boy of 18 for the cause of the people. (Tremendous cheering and groans.) The grey headed men of Rochdale would well remember the course which John Bright took upon the subject of Church-rates. (Uproar.) Ho (Mr. Potter) might tell his hon. opponent that in Radicalism they began early. (Laughter.) He him self as a boy of 16 went from Rugby School straight to Wigan to help his uncle in the cause of popular progress. He should not follow his hon. opponent through his lengthy speech. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) As he (Mr. Potter) had said before, he was not sufficiently a special pleader, but he felt it to be his duty to touch upon one or two points in the address which had just been given. Mr. Brett talked of the law of primogeniture—that was, the law that put class above class in this country. (Uproar.) No caste in India was so close and sacred as the caste of aristocracy in this country. (Cheers, and counter-cheers.) The misfortune was that the plutocracy men who had risen from the ranks of the people, instead of sticking to the people, bowed down to the aristocracy. (Uproar.) He wished to do away with the wide demarcations of class which existed in this coun try, and to elevate labour. (Loud cheers and uproar.) He looked upon labour as the honestest and most to be re spected thing in the world, and it was because he held that view, and because he looked upon the law of primo geniture as a relic of the Feudal ages, given to this coun try by William the Conqueror to keep down his oppressed people, that he took his stand as he had done upon this question. A contest was now beginning which would soon divide by wide demarcations the two parties in England. He went for democracy. (Uproar.) He was in favour of the principles of Free-trade, and for carrying thenaiinto every department of Church and State. (Renewed uproar.) He was not prepared or inclined to answer the long string of questions which had been asked; he almost thought his opponent was asking those questions on behalf of many of the electors and non-electors as to his (Mr. Potter's) quali fications, rather than explaining his own principlds. Let him, before closing, express his deep feeling' of grati tude for the deep recognition they had shown of the services of his dear friend who was laid in the grave on Friday. This was not the time to weep for friends who were gone ; the best tribute was to carry out their principles. He had no eloquence at his service to advocate their cause in the House of Commons, but he had a true heart to stand by the people and their cause. He need not recapitulate to them his principles, for there never were two candidates more diametrically opposed to each other. He had a very great respect for Mr. Brett. They did not look, however, at private character, but at public opinions, and it was in this light the electors and non electors would have to *judge now and on Saturday— whether they would choose him (Mr. Potter), who was an advocate of human progress all over the world; whether they would choose hire, who was a bitter enemy to slavery in America and serfdom in England, or whether they would choose Mr. Brett, who would uphold the rotten remnant of feudalism. (Prolonged cheering, and counter-cheering. Mr. Potter had spoken about ten minutes.) The show of hands was two to one for Mr. Potter, and the announcement was received with alternate cheers and groans. A poll being demanded on behalf of Mr. Brett, the Mayor fixed it to be held on Saturday, between eight in themorn ing and four in the afternoon. Mr. POTTER moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor, and, amid uninterrupted uproar, thanked the assemblage for "the good temper, the quiet, and the orderly demeanour of this glorious population." Mr. BRETT, in seconding the motion, said he felt sure their personal esteem for the Mayor must have greatly aided him in ruling, as he had done, their somewhat unruly ways. . _ The vote having been appropriately given and acknow ledged,the va„st multitude dispersed shortly before one o'clock The question of the demolition of Fort Nicholas at Marseilles is now exciting much interest in that city. The Courrier de Marseille publishes a letter from the inhabitants of the districts of the Catalans, Nive-Neuve, Endoume, Roucas-Blanc, and Oriol, acknowledging their obligations to that journal and to M. Borde, engineer, who for the last five years has advocated the interests of that portion of the city, which has thus far been excluded by its position from the increasing prosperity of the other quarters. M. de Maupas, Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhone, is among the warmest advocates of the project; and M. Bournat, one of the deputies of the department, with M, Pereire, is said to have had an interview with the Emperor to express the wishes of the population. LION HUNTING IN ALGERIA.—A letter from Batna in the Independant of Constantino gives some fur ther details of the recent exploits of MM. Chassaing and Bombonnel. Having learned that a horse had been killed by wild beasts, they proceeded to the spot and con cealed themselves in some brushwood close by in order to wait until the animals returned after sunset to devour their prey. The night was dark, and no moonlight was to be hoped for. The hunters had not been long at their post when a magnificent lion approached the horse. The two friends touched each other with the elbow to show that they had seen the beast, and Chassaing, firing both barrels, sent the animal rolling to the bottom of a ravine.

Theilethe darknesslikely rendered the task of avoiding hunters were besides trembling with cold, for they had not taken the pre caution of p uttin g on w arm clothing against the night air. They therefore decided on regaining their,tents, where they found their companions fast asleep, not having even heard the reports of the guns. The next morning the party proceeded to the scene of the night's adventure. Two of the lions were lying dead, but the others had disappeared. They appeared to have lost much blood but the dryness of the ground rendered their traces difficult to follow. Presently a geteral scamper among the Arabs who were aiding in the search showed that something had been discovered, and it turned out to be a large lioness, which had taken refuge at the bottom of a ravine. Chassaing, Bombonnel, Count Karolyi, and M. Deichmann advanced together and all fired. But even after that volley she again raised her head, when a ball beneath the shoulder from Bombonnel finished her. The other [ wounded animal could not be found. p - P;L:;r•- \s\f".. . l .s 4 i Banquet at Alexandria to Sir H. Bulwer, 1,-. 4 "1: 11 4;' (From the Egyptian, M arc h 27 . ) ..q r , r On Saturday, the 18th inst., an entertainment was given to his Excellency Sir Henry Bulwer, her Britannic Majesty's ambassador, which will be long remembered in Egypt. The banquet was given by Henry Bulkeley, Esq., and took place at his resi dence in Ramle, and was one of the most elegant that has ever taken place in Egypt. Besides the directors of the Ramle Railway, on whom rested the honour of carrying out with so much refinement and taste the happy idea of a farewell banquet to her Britannic Majesty's ambassador, a number of gentlemen were invited to be present on the occa sion, to enhance the honour which was intended to be paid to the distinguished guest. Accordingly, representatives from the Egyptian government, the navy, the church, bench, the bar, the medical and commercial professions gave by their presence an additional lustre to an entertainment which other wise was not unworthy of the occasion which evoked it. More than 150 gentlemen sat down to luncheon, Mr. Bulkeley presiding. On the right of the chair man sat the guest of the day, Sir H. Bulwer, and at other posts of honour were placed Mr. R. Fleming and the Governor of Alexandria. After the usual loyal toasts Mr. Bulkeley proposed the health of his Excellency Sir Henry Bulwer. His Excellency Sir 11. BULWER, in reply, said— I have to thank you, gentlemen, for the compli ment you have paid me in assembling here to day, and to thank our host for the toast which he has given, and which you have so kindly re ceived. The proposer of that toast was so kind as • to allude to my health, and, in expressing a hope for its perfect re-establishment, to say that it did not prevent me from attending to the public inte rests. There was a despatch of M. Guizot that once accidentally saw the light, which he wrote to the French ambassador when I was her Majesty's Minister in Spain, saying, " I don't like those illnesses of Mr. Bulwer ; he always profits by them." I cannot say that on this occasion my illness has been diplomatic ; at the same time it has not prevented my attending to public business and to British interests. I consider, however, that this need create no jealousy in any one, for my view of British interests is a comprehensive one, deeming them to be connected with the interests of all the world, and that we are never to press them beyond the limits of reason and justice. This is why I pro claim myself to be of Capt. Bulkeley's own school of diplomacy which has nothing to disguise, and which speaks the truth openly and boldly. It is in this spirit I now speak. The gentleman who has just preceded me has gone over so wide a field that I will not pretend to follow him step by step, for I fear that my memory would not guide me. But on all those topics I remember I shall venture to say a few words. And beginning with that which is most distant from us, but which nearly concerns my friend opposite, the Consul-General for America, and my Government, I agree with him in regretting the con test that still exists between the Northern and Sou thern States of the American republic ; but I cannot agree with him in thinking that our Government ought to have interfered in a question which has to be decided by local interests and opinions, and of which after all we may not be the most competent judges. They, gentlemen, Who in quarrels interpose, Often get a bloody nose. As he has justly observed, when a friend interferes between man and wife in the arrangement of family disputes, he generally ends by turning both parties against him : so I think w e have wisely abstained from interfering in a matter which we had not the power to settle, any further than by expressing the hope, which I now express, whether it may be popular or not amongst those who hear me, that I trust the unhappy differences which we are alluding to may cease, and that whether cotton rise or fall, the fame and name of our great offspring across the Atlantic may still may be maintained, and that the great experiment of liberty, peace, and union by the Anglo-Saxon race, on a distant shore, though troubled by the vicissitudes to which all human affairs are subject, may not finally be a failure. It is, gentlemen, always agreeable to meet a tociety of Englishmen. It is especially agreeable to do that when the meeting is to commemorate a successful and useful enterprise carried on by one's own coun trymen. The gentlemen at the head of the Ramle Railroad have given an example which I trust will not be lost. They undertook an enterprise, perse vered in it, and have made it prosper to the common benefit. There has been no sham in their proceed ings. They have not stopped in the middle of their course and gone in for indemnities ; and the result is a rising city, where two years ago was a barren wilderness. This is the way for Englishmen to do business. I trust this country in general will make as rapid a progress as the Ramle Railway Company have done. Its material prosperity is advancing with gigantic strides. I grant that in the great ob jects of administration and legislation it is advanc ing with slower steps ; but we must consider that the moral and intellectual career of Egypt com menced only a few years ago ; that laws and man ners must reform themselves gradually and recipro cally ; and that we cannot expect this country to rise at once to that height of civilisation in laws and morals that we have attained through a long and difficult struggle, which dates its commencement from centuries ago. In many parts of his obser vations, our worthy chairman has not unnaturally contradicted himself. He has said that the high functionaries have their excellent intentions fre quently overthrown by their subordinate agents ; so the major points of his speech have been upset in a certain degree by the minor. He acknow ledges the immense changes for the better whicl have taken place in Egypt as a whole within the last few years; but he then insists that there are many blots and defects. This, gentle men, is the state of society in general, and especially is it the state of society in an intermediate stage between barbarism and civilisation. We must not expect in human affairs what it is impossible to obtain ; but we must endeavour steadily and per severingly to give them a good direction, and trust to Providence to help us in this undertaking. I quite, however, agree with him as to the great de fect amongst Eastern officials being a want of per sonal responsibility. A man's efforts can never be relied on until he is individually responsible for success. It is individual responsibility which forms men, and tells you what they are capable of, and the Government will never have good agents until it tries and truts them, and rewards and punishes E at it t has i s to to satisfy as far as them. I agree with him also in saying that in the European element is an essential ingredient the development h e considered, of pos sible European o pi n i ons and i n terests ; but at the sa me time it has to maintain the national dignity a nd authority ; that it has a an E d g" tha t t ia the Egyptian policy of ; of that Egypt right to expect from Europeans a fair and just con sideration for the Government which rules over the country.which they voluntarily come to inhabit. Justice is the great cementer between man and man. The Egyptian should be just to the European, and the European to the Egyptian, and they should aid each other in a mutual spirit of conciliation in pro moting the common prosperity of the country in which they have a common interest. As a good augury, I hail the form which our host has given to his table. Observe, gentlemen, it is in the shape of an anchor ; a mete symbol of fixity of purpose and hope of success ; and with this symbol before us, let me drink to the prosperity of Egypt and the Ramle Railway. THE BLOCKADE RUNNERS.—By the Africa we have intelligence via Boston of the following cap tures, communicated to Washington by Admiral Thatcher, in command of the West Gulf blockading squadron :--The steamer Matilda, with an assorted cargo ; the schooner Ben Willis, with 176 bales cotton ; the schooner Louisiana, with an assorted cargo (but subsequently destroyed) ; the schooner Anne Dale, with a cargo of cotton ; and the schooner Echo, with an assorted cargo. On the 17th boats from the United States steamers Brinville and Princess Royal cut out of Galveston harbour the schooner Pet, with 256 bales of cotton on board, making the sixth prize during the week. Five steamers attempted to run into Galveston —the Will-o'-the-Wisp, the Arcadia, the Granite, the Wren, and the Lark, of which ,tho two first were captured and destroyed, while the three latter only got in, with the ia are all damaged.
