We have seen some of the specimens from the auriferous district proposed to be worked by the West Ql anada or Veraguas Gold Mining Company, which are cer tainly of an imposing character; the matrix, in which the gold is largely distributed, consists of two disti nc t ki n d s of strata —one being a common brown gossan, strongly c o l oure d : oxide of iron, throughout which the gold is dissemi nated, and the other a white, apparently decomposed, felspar, so pulverulent that it may be crumbled in the hand, and the gold, by washing, can evidently be obtained with the greatest ease. In this latter mineral the gold is partly amorphous and partly cry s t a lli se d , i n many places s h oot i ng out i n small sprays and branches, forming a beautiful miniature Metallic vegetation.

THE POETICAL WORKS of D. Al. MOIR ( Delta). Edited by Thomas Aird. Blachfrowl. 2 Vols.. Under the signature o' Delta, the late David' Arac beth Moir has long been favourably known to the readers of Blackwood's Magazine, 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 had long been associated with grateful and pleasant reminiscences. In the biography prefixed to the poems in these volumes, Thomas Aird has, in a most interesting and very delightful manner nar rated the principal incidents of Delta's career, and has done justic e t o hi s many most estimable charac teris'ics. His indefatigable attention to the duties of the medical profession, left Mr. M At. few opportuni ties for indulging his taste for literary pursuits, but those opportunities were seized upon with avidity, and the multitude of his compositions under the circumstances, quite surprising. Those compositions, now collected together, will be perused with gener a l interest. Foremost among them in the "Domestic Verses" is one little poem—"A Lament for the Death of a beloved Child"--which has long ren dered the name of Delta famous. Speaking of this poem, " Ca sa W appy ," M r . Aird surmises that "it has drawn more tears of mothers than any other dirge of our day." In every line it is the heart that speaks, hence no wonder its great and widely diffused popu larity. The late Lord Jeffrey, writing to Moir, says of the " Domestic Verses," " I cannot resist the im pulse of thanking you with all my h a ea d rt t f he for soothing, and, gratification you have affordedme, n 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 recommendations indif 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 " Mi s c e ll an eou s P uems "— many o f which are excellent in various degrees—all are pleasing—and some few, such as " Casa Wappy," are singularly beautiful. Without 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. I (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 pub!ic, 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• poses 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 sifting. 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 payment 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 " submi.ision" of the Anglo dudian autho rities. For all this insolence, depend on it, is one way or other, you will seine time pay. Oa 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- Leg 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 extet,ding to life and limb" were by the existing law rot 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 "lif.s 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 ttirty-five. And here a curious fallacy was held out by the Government, and mot with ao 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 mach W 23 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, &c., 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 single Member on the Opposition side of the House, they jumped at the withdrawal of this clause. From the glee-ful 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 question. A Member on the Op position 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 likewise to the notion which I think I collected from some of my constituents, that in one way or another, this Militi a i s t o b e one of the promised " aericultural compensations." If you exa sniue who finally gain by it, I think you will not find yourself wrong in the anticipation of this result. The Ministry did cot venture for the present on more twheauennemeFrorrviieidnnagybtyihma2toothe againstclause I. b e "postp o n e d . " Which of Spain. When such h rt on the subject of form a Forta f nt matter was brought before the House, in the question from Lord Palmerston " reported," nobody donbts dangers to the Constitution dangers bu get the length of being received with coldnessthe danger is real. Tl;e subject was with more than coldness by by the House, and the Minist the whole was confirmatory of the ry. The effect on the Ministers do not m ean to peril themselves uselessly by unnecessary energy, th ere is scarcely retrogradation, commercial or politio.ay4any Species of hic would not receive with that pati ence which w ia h they so supplied when the heart is with th e event. The r easily is to involve them in the next heave of the political 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 a ga i nst the people at home. It is needless to say more, than that mark upon it was confirmed and every pvvious ie Ministers rested their case upon strengthened. Toe . the rieive;" and if the radiant bearing " the feeling of of the agricultural party may be taken' as evidence of feeling, there was no wanton that head. As might be expected, the Governments own clause was expunged, under a majority of 151 to 61. very sincerely, ‘ I am, Sir, yours M ORMER. AN OLD It Blackheath, May 24,1852.

(From the Chronicle) 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 aequainted with the administration of our large theatres, and others being still su b j u di ce . W e h ave 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 beli€f that it would not be long be for e 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 zoal and loyalty Mr. Lum ley,has always displayed in labouring to preserve to the patrons of ,her 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 takieg 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 stance excepted, in which cemmcn morality rather than managerial rights was the question), we have merely continued to accord to her Majesty's Theatre that jus tice , which is duo from the public press to a public establishment. The demonstration we anticipated was made on Satur day last. A meeting of noblemen stud gentlemen, in terested in supporting the director of her Majesty's Theatre, had be,n. invited to aesenible that day in the concert-room of the theatre. The names of the distin guished persons at whose iaquisition the meeting came together arn sufficient - to show its nature. These names aro those'of the Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Lein ster, the Marquis of Clanricarde, his Excellency the Buren Britt:know, and Sir Ralph Howard. Upwards of 100 iefluential patrons of the opera were present, among them being the Duke_of Leinster, Duke of Cleveland, Marquis of Clauriearde ' Marquis of Worcester, Sir Anthony de .Rothsehild, his Excellency Baron Brun now, his Excellency the Marquis d'Ar.llio, his Excel lency Baron Rebauseni - Earl of Shelburne, Earl of Har rington.

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 jusiee 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 had 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 would probably agree, briefly sketched the history of the Haymarket managements from the time of Mr. Taylor, to show that whereas, with every advantage of exclusive patronage and absence of Fivalry, former directions had invariably failed, Mr. Lumley, with extraordinary opposition and divided support, had hith e rt o k ept h er M a j es ty's Theatre in a position worthy its - reputation. Such ballets, it was observed, as Mr. Lumley had put upon the stage had perhaps never been seen elsewhere in the world, and there was scarcely is 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, fore ee,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. Thate 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 Ahulirector of this establishment has displayed in the cultivation of the highest works of art, and in pro viding :WI , the public taste and amusement, during a yeriod of extraordinary difficulty, this meeting will sup port and assist the director in his efforts to surmount the difficulties dile establishment. " 3. That, with a view of establishing an immediate and available source for the purpose of carrying on and conducting this establishment during the present season, a fund be raised, to which all friends and well-wishers of the theatre be invited to become subscribers, and that a committee be appointed for the purpose of receiving stick enbscriptions, and applying the same in such way as they shall consider most conducive to the in tereste eaf her. Majesty's Theatre." A:committee Was then nominated, and subscription papersk h of dying been opened, the friends of the theatre were requested to pay their subscriptions to Messrs. C ti : A arl m es ee I: b op a kinson and Co., bankers 3, Regent-street. vote of thanks was then passed to his Grace the Tezineter, who had most efficiently presided, and separated.

DEPARTURE OF THE ASIA.—On Saturday after noon at one o'clock , t he Ro y al M ail steam - ship Asia , Capt. Jadkins, sailed from the Mersey for New York direct;with I the Mai MIA 60 P alSePgeral told ii ritir ATerage freight • THE LATE "AFFAIR OF HONOUR." The Hon. G. S. Smythe and Colonel Romilly, the two combatants in the " affair of honour" which came off on Friday last, left town, attended by their seconds, Captain the Hon. Captain Vivian, MX., and the Hon. John Forteecue, 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 as if intent upon an artistic excur sion in the neighbourhood. They bad 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 atteudance for the purpose of conveying them some little distance into theintetior. A difficulty now arose as 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 an old postchaise for three or four miles. At length it was suggested that Mr. Smythe should mount the box, and that Colonel Romilly should go inside with the seconds. Mr. Smythe readily yielded his assent to enjoy the fresh air, and away the party drove some two or three miles, until they arrived at the boundary of Lord Ellesmere's Hatcbford estate, where all the gentlemen alighted, and 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 aide 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 colleague complained, 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 exchang©d 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. CCMII. THE PROBABLE FATE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE SEVENTY-THIRD DERBY, AND THE WINNER SELECTED. (Concluded from No. CCXXXI.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. my last observations I commented upon the northern horses; I now resume my task with Mr. Stab 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 app eare d i n public but once—at Doncaster, when a two years old, where, with Bst 71b up, he won a sweepstakes o ver t h e 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 more 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 cann o t ac complish an impossibility—in three words, he can no t w i n . 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 th e winter, has at last come in ea r n e s t, having been b ac k e d rather stiffly during th e p as t wee k. He is perfectly dark, and I believe has scarcely been subjected to what we may call a trial. His blood is undeniable; his size, f o rm, 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 hi s w ay home viitoriously in the Der by fray. It is said that the last-named animal's stable com panion YOUNG HAMMOND, by Ithuriel out of Easter, will also run. Like unto Womersley be is as yet per fectly dark: in my opinion he will turn out to be a re spectable handicap horse—nothing more. The Wizard of the North's Derby string is, as usual, somewhat long, consisting, for the most part, of very interior horses. DANIEL O'Rounx.E, 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 the race under con sideration, having been on e o f t h e 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 Red 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 Euler, by which I consider he will have ea good as 7113 advantage over many horses in the race, he has no chance of obtaining a place. The other four, KINGFISHER, HYACINTH, PHANTO M, and MARINELLA COL T , I have not the smallest fancy tor whatever; three of th em , however, will pro b a bly run. I cannot conceive f or an instant how Major Martyn can imagine he has any chance of winning a race like this with such a hors e as CONVULSION; he had muc h better Jet him remain a t h ome in his stable. Mr. Farrance's JOE MILLER, by Venison out of Wit tioism, although th e w i nner of the Ch e ster Cup in a canter, will be no win ner h ere. Kent's couple, I p resume, will both start; SOME BREWED, however, only to do the needful for his sta bl e companion. as he w ill have the great assis tance HARBINGER, by Touchstone out of Cuckoo, after his enough to win the Derby. I do not understand this trial with Officious, was species of reasoning, but I expect he will run well; and, preserved horse, 0 will possibly finish forward. W. I'anson will send Tux Scravnyon, by the Doctor t id an er c e e d of t nN b at e , quite good out of Fairy Queen, to the post. Notwithstanding, this nag, it is said, will hav7stpheevse k ct i l l y fu r l id a i i c d ulo o u f CHIEF BARON NI CHOLSON, by the Baron out of Ally Croaker, it is the idea of a carefully al winning ly rumoured has not been altogether the thing at times during the last three months; and, if it can be so ex pressed, has been taken too much care of. His perform ance with Kingston last year stamped him as a horse of ridiculous. Maroon, good bottom and possessed of staying powers. 1 shall not be at all surprised to see him figure very forward in the race. The attraction of Day's lot will be centred in LITTLE HARRY, by Epirus out of F raudulent, who, without he is very wonderfully improved upon his last year's form, cannot possess the best chance of securing the " blue ribbon of the Turf" for his owner, but it seems that in Saii. his trial - the magnates of the stable were perfectl y ti fled of his capabilities by immediately afterwards invest ing large sums upon his chance ; and as he is in the best of condition, and will be steered by that clever • key Alfred Day, I think, h e :.. Joe i s certain to be one of the first three. V ORT EX, it is said, will cut out the work for him. ELCOT'S chance is completely out! Dockeray will have the colt by Hetman Platoff, dam by Camel, at the post—more about him I do not know. BARBARIAN, MISSIVE, and ORELIO, I shall dismiss in a few words, not having the least idea that either can finish any where near the front, much less be a winner. Lad on the list that I consider worth a remark, but by no means the least, is Mr. Merry's 6,5001. speculation, HoBBIE NOBLE, by Pantaloon out of Phryne, by Touch stone, out of Decoy, by Filho da Pate out of Finesse, by Peruvian—Violante, by John Bull. This horse's couple of performances last year wereh certainly the best in public • that any candidate for t present Derby has accomplished up to the pres . ent tt - me• 1-+ • ..11t so strange are the reports made about him, some from good, some from bad quarters, and so contradictory are they, that it is almost impossible to give any very decided opint ' 'on of his chance until his arrival at Epsom. his backers re ort • If he is what some of . _p . him to be, why the Derby is certainly overl3l4 as I think Comparatively few but the stable know of . what is go i ng on in that mysterious quarter, I shall not venture upon giving an opinion about his chance at . all . of co nclusion, it i s my firm opinion that the By way f Hobble Nobl front rank will consist o _ e, Alcoran, Cie thatosKigston Little Harry, and Harbinger; and the first of these to succumb at the finish will be Harbinger and Kingston, C laver house__ giving u p t h e ghost next; thus leaving HOBB LE NOBLE LITTLE to fi ll the three first pl ac es.

Mayho stated,in answer to a j uror, the case was so clear and decided that he did not think another visit necessary or he would have made it. Catherine Frydy deposed, she had been attendant to Miss Hughes about 8 years; first joined her April 3, 1844, at Madame Pochis', near Paris, and found her unable to dress or undress herself, incapable of even using a pocket handkerchief, could not cut her food or feed herself properly; had no knowledge of money or of letters, or writing, or books; her only amusement sometimes to play with coins, but without any idea of their being of the least value. 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 bad 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 Pochis', had been with her 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 3 d of April. The jury immediately returned a verdict, dating her unsoundness of mind from April, 1844.

Their Excellencies inspected and ap- Eeared much gratified with the panoramic yiew of Mount Ltna, THE " DIE-HANDS." On Monday, the 17th instant, the 57th Regiment, stationed at Kilkenny, gave a grand dinner to Major General M'Donald, the staff of the district, and several of their friends, to commemorate the anni versary of the battle of Albuera, in which sanguinary action this gallant regiment bore a distinguished part, and acquired the appellation of the "Die-B ar d s, " which they have retained ever since. Th e 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 regiment, and reminded the guests of "Auld lang syne. ' After "The Health of her Majesty the Queen" had been drank with all the honours, Major SHADFORTH, the senior officer present, gave " The Memory of those who had fallen at Albuera ;" drank, of course, in silence. The MAJOR the❑ proposed " The health of Lieu tenant-General Sir Edward Blskeney 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 rat at his right and h ft hand. Major-General M'DONALD 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 leg in the 57i.h 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, Beresford in h . w " Close your ranks, 57th—die bard!" which ex pression was the origin of the name by which the corps is still called. Major-General M'Donald also quoted the very fl a ttering terms used by Marshal and proposed " The health The • -ia dis p at ch , Major-Gene ' ral s manly speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm; when be _again rose with referenc e lonel of the corps), and of fiord stated that to Lord of the 57th Regiment."

The PRESIDENT (Major Shadfortb), after returning thanks for Lord Harding* and the 57th, proposed the toast of " The Fusilier Brigade, and their friend and guest, Colonel Browne, who ser ve d i s the Royal Welsh in this great action." He commented in warm terms upon the noble conduct of the Fusilier brigade, which had contributed so largely to the victory, an 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 hards." 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. COMMAND OF TIM 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, 180.5, 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.

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 llinry Blackwood ; in February, 1822, he invalided home, in the Ssmaratig, 28. Assuming command (4th April, 1835) of the lisrhem, 50, Captain Corry eon ' vo)ed the Earl of Durham to Constantinople, and chile stationed in charge of a Nundron on the coast of Spain, received the thanks of the Queen, her Ministers, asd 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 Valencia. The Barbara being paid cff in April, 1839, Captain Corry commissioned, in September, 1844, the Firebrand steam-frigate, for the purpose of commanding an experimental squadron of Superbhri gs , e:l B % r in which onhisretur s n hi t p o phoerthas wassitnrceanstfaekrerned part tt is other trial cruizes.
