The introduction of the navy estimates last even ing in the House of Commons gave rise to a sharp passage of arms between the loader of the House and the leader of the Opposition. Mr. GLADSTONE, with very unnecessary punctilio, took exception to the estimates being moved by the Secretary to the Admiralty instead of by the First Lord. The House was by no means inclined to sympathise with his scruples, which could evidently be only theore tical, as every one knew that Mr. CORRY, though actually First Lord, had had nothing to do with framing the estimates. If the election for Tyrone htd enabled Mr. CORRY to be present in his place last night his statement could have been only the result of a stuly of the calculations of others ; and in the present position of public business the de lay occasioned by such scrupulous exactitude would have been as ill timed as uncalled for. The Re form Bill, as everybody knows, is fixed for the 18th, and there is certainly not much prospect for the navy estimates next week or the week after. Even if the house would be willing to interrupt the exciting discussion, certain to follow oa the long- talked-of measure, it would be a very unwise arrangement ; and since the First Lord is entirely new to his present post, however familiar of old with the details of Admiralty management, we can not help feeling surprised that Mr. GLADSTONE should have thought it necessary to interrupt the course of public business on such a plea. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had, however, a very ready reply to the right honourable gentleman's objections, and one which even Mr. GLAD STONE'S ingenuity c.mld not escape from. " The right hon. gentleman," said Mr. DISRAELI, " was a member of a Government that for seven years regulated the destinies of the country, and during those seven years the Navy Estimates were always moved by the Secretary to the Admiralty." This reminder was received with loud cheers ; and Mr. DISRAELI further said, in answer to Mr. GLAD STONE'S objection, as to the absence of the specially responsible Minister, that every Minister was, in fact, responsible for the Estimates. An untoward accident, the non-arrival of the writ, prevented Sir JOHN PAKINGTON from taking his seat. Mr. DISRAELI, however, did not fail to remind the House that if no exception had been made to General PEEL'S moving the Army Esti mates, as intended, the late First Lord would have moved the Navy Estimates before resigning his office, and the embarrassment of last night would have been entirely avoided. Gentle men of the Opposition have, therefore, themselves to thank for any deviation from the ordinary routine; and it is only fair to say that the general feeling was decidedly in favour of allowing Lord HENRY LENNOX to proceed with his statement, which, after some time, was done, though on the very first vote Mr. GLADSTONE renewed his protest, and Mr. DISRAELI consented to its postponement, as he had just heard by telegram that Mr. CORRY would be in his place on Thursday next. Lord HENRY LENNOX acquitted himself of his difficult and somewhat ungracious task very creditably. The sum of £10,926,250 will be asked, which is very nearly half a million in excess of last year's estimate. The effective services would cost £9,867,750—being an increase of £480,000 —and the non-effective ser vices £2,000,000; but over many items in the latter amount Lord HENRY LENNOX explained that the Admiralty had no control. The expenses of repairs, we are glad to find, are less by £60,000 than the building estimates,whereas last year they were nearly as much in excess of it. In the matter of shipbuilding Lord HENRY LENNOX tells us that the Admiralty intend to build four new ships of the Amazon class, also steamers to replace the old paddle wheel steamers, ten gunboats, and a new class of gunboats intended specially for the suppression of piracy, much wanted in some quarters. The lat ter are intended to use up the machinery of the Crimean gunboats, which have been lying idle and neglected. Three hundred and fifty thousand pounds are to be spent on iron shipbuilding—a sum, which the Secretary argued, was by no means ex cessive, considering the large sums recently spent by other European countries in this matter. All these details will no doubt be fully discussed before the votes are taken, and we must hope that no more frivolous opposition will obstruct the course of public business. The Admiralty have just now enough on their hands, for rumours have been current of an intended descent on the Irish coast by more of the Fenian worthies from America. A telegram was accord ingly despatched to Portsmouth directing that the whole of the available seagoing vessels i❑ commis sion in that port should proceed to Ireland early yesterday morning, so that the Fenians, should they come, will find a ready reception. We are glad to find that our naval as well as our civil authorities are determined to be prompt and vigorous in their repression of Fenianism. The subject of recruiting for the Army came on last night in the House of Lords, the Earl of DALHOUSIE calling the attention of their lordships to the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the recruiting. First of all, he defended the commissioners with great animation from some charges which had been brought against them as to not sending out to the public a full report of matters. As the chairman of the commission the noble lord was well qualified to speak on the sub ject, but he did much in his attempt to show the House that the Government had acted unwisely in their proposals based upon the report of the commissioners. He was averse to the plan of increasing the pay of soldiers in place of an abolition of stoppages and improvement in rations ; but Lord LONGFORD stated several weighty reasons in favour of the course proposed. The noble earl created some amusement by stating that accidentally he ap peared on both sides of this question, for he was a member of the commission, and he was also a member of the Government, which had partly dis agreed with the recommendations of the commis sion; but he got out of his difficulty by saying that he agreed with both. In general he concurred with the commissioners, but he did not think their attention had been directed so much to the question of obtaining recruits as to those matters that affect the condition of the soldier. No doubt Lord LONGFORD is right in his opinion that the recruiting should be the first object, and all that tends to make that more popular and successful should be attentively studied by our authorities, for it is a matter that has far too long been neglected, and the service has suffered in consequence. It stands to reason that an addition to the pay, how ever small, will be a powerful inducement, and be far more easily understood and ap preciated by those whom it concerns than other and more remote advantages. We also think with the noble lord that it will be very desirable to make recruiting more respectable. During last year the efforts in this direction were more suc cessful, but that was in consequence of work being so slack, and hence too much stress cannot be laid upon it. Lord DALHOUSIE made one suggestion that would never answer if carried out, and which, indeed, is directly opposed to the feeling of the people of this country. He said that the service in the QUEEN'S Army was voluntary, but that the Militia was a compulsory service. " The compulsion had been suspended from year to year, but the power of compulsion was not dead." He therefore rroposed that the militia should be in creased, and that if the voluntary system failed, the compulsory one should he resorted to ; but this would never do, and we do not believe that any Government would try it. Let everything be done that can possibly improve the condition of the ser vice, but nothing that is directly contrary to the general feeling of the country is ever likely to answer. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE made a few observa tions, and said that the Government had had many difficulties to contend against, and that they must consider the House of Commonswas not very willing to increase the military expenditure, which was not to be wondered at. His Royal Highness was of opinion that an increase of pay would be the most likely thing to advance the recruiting of our army. On the whole, we think that the public will be satisfied with the manner in which the debate was carried on last night on this important matter, and we think that the Government have done wisely and well in their determination regarding the changes and alterations that have been made in the matter. The public will learn with feelings of great re joicing that the Princess of WALES is improving, although her complete recovery must necessarily be slow. For some days past most alarming rumours have been afloat respecting the state of her Royal Highness, but happily they appear to have been devoid of foundation. The bulletin issued yester day afternoon stated that no " important change" had taken place since the last one was issued, and that the " inflammation of the knee-joint, though still causing pain and interrupting sleep, is slowly diminishing." More explicit details are furnished by the Lancet, which also tend to reassure those who have felt doubtful as to the result of the attack from which her Royal Highness has suffered. It is ex pected that in a short time she will be able to leave her bed, and though it is expected that she will have to submit to some mechanical support for some time, it is, of course, a secondary consideration to her recovery from the more immediate danger. The Queen of DENMARK'S visit has added, of course, to the unfavourable impression produced in the minds of people, but it does not follow from this that the illustrious patient is seriously ill, because her unnatisfactory state of health itself is sufficient to render her mother anxious to see her. Of one thing we are certain, that everywhere the news of her more promising condition will be received with satisfaction. No one could possibly have rendered themselves more popular than this Royal lady has done, and from the time of her coming among us as a stranger to the present time nothing has occurred to change the enthusiasm with which she was greeted on her first arrival. The Prince and Princess of WALES have been general favourites everywhere, and it will be a consolation to them to know, in this their first trial of their married life, that the sympathy of the nation is theirs, and that those who rejoiced in their joy now mourn in their sorrow, and that the prayers of the people of England will not be want ing to solicit from the Giver of all Goodness that the young Princess may speedily be restored to health and strength, and long be spared to her family and to her adopted country which has so warmly welcomed her. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Droning. The new law upon the press, which was yester day submitted to the Legislative Body, completely confirms the information I sent you that many of the papers had raised a false impression as to its character, by anticipating supposed provisions of a stringent nature. The bill is, in fact, framed in a liberal spirit, and suppresses many vexatious regu lations which formerly shattered the press. For instance any one may now establish a newspaper, after giving proper notice, just in the same manner as it is requisite to make a declaration at the Stamp office in England. Literary journals and periodicals are exempted from stamp-duty. No member of the Senate or of the Legislative Body is allowed to sign a newspaper as director or manager. Imprison ment for offences of press is abolished and a fine substituted, of from I,ooof. to 5,000f.' The Tribunal of Correctional POliceOr the Imperial Tribunal will judge alleged offences of the press. For journals not compelled to lodge security money the minimum fine is to be 500 f., and the maximum fine 10,000 f. An elector condemned for an offence against the press may be deprived of his electoral rights for a period not exceeding five years. A condemnation for " crime committed by the press" may entail the suppression of the newspaper which has offended. An appeal is allowed against the sentences of the tribunals. Printers or publishers will no longer be compelled to have a patent or permission. In short, a very injurious monopoly long complained of has been abolished. The Jfoniteur states that the Emperor of Austria arrived on Tuesday at Pesth. The Hungarian Ministers, the members of the Diet, and numerous deputations from influential bodies received the King at the station, and his Majesty entered the city, which had been ornamented and decorated with flags, amidst great enthusiasm. An immense crowd assembled, and exhibited every mark of devotion and affection to his Majesty. A letter from Rome, dated March 9, states that the carnival was terminated without the least symp tom of disorder. Great numbers both of foreigners and natives took part in it. The number of foreigners in Rome is greater than in any preceding year. The hotels are full, and money is circulated in great abundance. The people are tranquil and security reigns in the City. The same security pre vails in the other parts of the States of the Holy See, except in a few mountainous districts near the Neapolitan provinces, which are sill desolated by bands of brigands in spite of the efforts of the Pontifical gendarmerie and the watchfulness exer cised by the Italian troops on the frontiers. King Victor Emmanuel returned to Florence on Monday from Milan. The Constitutionnel, remarking upon the fact that the Senatus Consults was agreed to unanimously, says :—" Discussions like those which have just taken place in the Senate, and which occupied two long sittings, do the greatest honour to that high assembly, which has thus acquired one more claim to the confidence of the Emperor and the gratitude of the country." The splendid new room at the Imperial Library, in the Rue de Richelieu, will be opened on the Ist of April. On the same day will also be opened the Museum of Antiques at the Louvre, under the Gal lery of Apollo, formerly the apartments of Anne of Austria. The part of the Grand Museum which contains the " Venus" of Milo has been restored and decorated with great taste and splendour. The Paris papers being again nearly filled with the discussions in the Chambers do not contain any miscellaneous news of interest. Italy is augmenting the number of her ships of war in the waters .of Candia. It is stated from Toulon that two steam gunboats of the first class have received orders to arm with as little delay as possible. They are destined, it is said, to reinforce the French Naval Division in the Levant under the command of Vice-Admiral Simon. The young Prince Imperial, who has been suf fering for some days in consequence of a contusion of the leg, is now much better, and it is supposed that he will be able to regain his accustomed exer cises in a few days. The accident occurred while the Prince was practising gymnastics, and he has un dergone a slight operation. • The Directing Committee of the Races at La Marche having fixed upon the 10th of June, which is the day chosen by the Society of Vesinet for their steeplechases, the first day of the La Marche meet ing is postponed till July 14. The visit of M. Benedetti, the Ambassador of France at Berlin to Paris, which I mentioned yes terday, has naturally given rise to various reports, some of them of a very puerile kind. Some papers say his visit is connected with a project of the cession of Luxembourg to France for 300 millions of francs. According to others he has some suggestion to make to the Ministry in reference to the policy of M. Bismark. Further inquiries enable me to con firm what I said yesterday, that M. Benedetti, who is accompanied by his wife, and whose stay in Paris will be very short, has come solely in consequence of the indisposition of the Marchioness de la Valette, the wife of the Interior, to whose family he is con nected by ties of affection. The Marchioness, an English lady, I believe is 71. _ The Belgian papers contain further notices of the spread of the cattle plague in Belgium. In the commune of Zele, near Ghent, a flock of sheep which had been placed near a receptacle for cattle, where THE SUN, LOiNDON, FRIDAY EVENIM;, MARCH 15, 1867 infection had previously existed, were attacked, and several of them died. The authorities ordered the whole flock, consisting of 150 sheep, to be slaugh tered. The disease has manifested itself in other localities. The Porte has addressed a circular to its repre sentatives in foreign countries, in which his Majesty declares that he has made the utmost possible con cession, for that any fresh conciliation would only increase the demands of the Christians, and shake the foundations of the Turkish power. The circular adds that the Sublime Porte considers himself suffi ciently strong to put dow❑ rebellion wherever it may manifest itself, and all he asks of foreign Powers is to consider the Cretan insurrection as a purely internal affair, and to leave him to contend alone against his rebellious subjects. Some doubt has been expressed as to the authenticity of this circular, but it seems to be authentic, as the St. Petersburg journal comments upon and tries to re fute some of its arguments or assertions. The weather is much the same as per last, cold, wet, and disagreeable. There has been occasional sunshine during the day, which, upon the whole, has more resembled an April day than a day in March. Occasionally there have been violent gusts of wind. The weather, indeed, is unsettled and stormy. The Vi lle de Paris has arrived at Havre, from New York, with an unusually large number of pas sengers ; and also, I believe, various articles for the Exhibition. Paris is becoming crowded with strangers already. The caterers for the public appetite are on the alert, and it is said that many of the restaurants are about to raise their prices. In the meantime meat, bread, and provisions are on the rise. Something must be done to stop the attempts at exorbitance. Among the attractions promised for the Agricultural Exhibition at Billan court bull fights are talked of. BANK OF ENGLAND. The general court of proprietors of the Bank of England was held in the Bank parlour yesterday Mr. H. Launcelot Holland, governor of the Bank, presiding. The notice calling the meeting having been read, The GOVERNOR said that was the half-yearly general court of proprietors, and was held for the purpose of declaring a dividend. It afforded him and the court of governors considerable satisfaction to meet the proprietors with what they believed would be considered a satisfactory result of the half year's trading. From the accounts which had been made up, which had, as usual, undergone a most careful scrutiny, they found that the net profits of the half year ending the 28th February amounted to £792,492 13s. 5d., making the amount of rest on that day £3,828,338 14s. 6d. After a dividend of 5i per cent. for the half-year, the amount of rest stood at £3,027,793 14s. 6d. The proposition of the court of directors was therefore that the half-yearly division of interest and profit be made on the sth of April next of 5i per cent., clear of income-tax. Mr. MoxoN wished to know whether there was likely to be any discussion in Parliament upon, and an inquiry instituted into, the provisions of the charter. Dir. BOTLEY, F.R.S., thought it would be a source of great profit if the Bank took money upon deposit. Mr. GUEDALLA said the Bank did take money on deposit. Mr. BomEr knew it; but they did not allow in terest upon it. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He con sidered that the Bank of Australasia, which allowed interest upon deposits at call, stood as high in posi tion in the colony as the Bank of England did in this country. He urged that what was a source of profit to joint-stock banks would be a source of profit to the Bank of England. The general opinion of the press of the country was, he said, in favour of the course he recommended. They were told many pearl' ago that the Bank of England would be the last to allow interest upon deposits at call ; but he trusted that the court of governors would see their way to falling in with the wishes of the pro prietors in this.respect. Mr. WHITE thought the remarks of thelast speaker. were out of order, and not at all to the point as to whether they should declare a dividend or not. The question mooted by the hon. proprietor had been answered again and again. It was answered by Lord Overstone (when Mr. Loyd), who gave it as his opinion that it was not advisable to take deposits as the hon. proprietor suggested. Mr. JONES wanted to know what the governors considered good banking securities, as the member for London had said that if the Agra Bank had applied with good banking securities it would have been assisted. The GOVERNOR, in reply, said he did not think the court would wish him to go into a definition of what they considered good banking securities. The proprietors generally appeared satisfied with the way in which things were conducted, and therefore they management in the h an d s o f th e The door s were a l ways open, eamonusudrtttlioleuagyChehtethehereys?of course, would give a preference to their customers, yet if any strangers came the court and governors would decide upon the question of securities to the best of its judgment. (Cheers.) As to receiving money upon deposit, and allowing interest upon it, they came to the conclusion long ago that they could not do so. With regard to the amount of railway debentures held, it was rather over £3,00u,000. The court cot sibred them fair and good security. They endeavoured to take only the beat, but they looked upon them as first-class security. The dividend was then declared, and the proceed ings terminated with a vote of thanks to the gover nor and court. THE TRIAL OF MR. ETRE.—It has at length been fixed that the case of Mr. Eyre is to come on at a special meeting of the Market Drayton bench on Monday, the 25th inst. If a committal should take place, the case can not come on at the Shropshire spring assizes, as they are held the previous week. A SHORT BUT BRILLIANT CAREER.—An affect ing ceremony took place three days back at the military school of St. Cyr, on the occasion of the burial of a pupil, a young Pole named Boguski, aged only 20, who died from the effects of a wound received three years back in the Polish insurrection, in which he took part. At the battle of Kasialek he fell, struck with a sabre cut, a lance thrust, and two musket balls, one of which traversed his leg, and has now, after a long interval of time, proved fatal. Boguski was then taken prisoner by the Russians, but contrived to escape while his wounds were still scarcely healed, and, coming to Paris, obtained admission to St. Cyr after a brilliant competitive examination. The funeral oar was followed by a deputation of the Polish emigrants in Paris and the whole of the pupils. General Baron de Gondrecourt, the governor of the establishment, was ono of the pall-bearers, and pronouneed a funeral oration over the tomb.— Galignoni. ASSASSINATION AT A BALL.—A distressing event lately took place at Castellar, a little commune of the Alpes-Maritimes, near Mentone. All the young people of the place being assembled in a dancing-room, one of the young men was seen to fall suddenly to the ground, whilst a young woman, 21 years of age, his partner, brandished a poniard, and was prepared to inflict 3 second blow on him having already desperately wounded him in the stomach. The author of the crime was at once arrested. She de clared that she had acted from a motive of vengeance, the young man having led her astray formerly with a promise of marriage, which he never fulfilled. In the morning of that day she had summoned him to keep his word, and, upon his refusal, had determined on making the dancing room the scene of her revenge. She was at first locked up in the prison at Mentone, and afterwards sent on to Nice. The young man continues in an alarming state. A NEW GLOWWORM, with " Green" and "Red" Fires.—A new glowworm, with two fires, has been found, remarks the Intellectual Observer, in the Grand Chaco, Argentine Republic. William Perkins, Esq., F.R.G.S., writes from Rosario, 0 , .1t. 20, 1866, to William Bollaert, Esq., F.R.G.S. : —"I think I have made a discovery in natural history, and which you may make known to the scientific world. I found the female of the most extra ordinary Elateride ever heard of, at least that I know of. It is a most brilliant glowworm, one inch and half long, with two fires. The body emits a most vivid flame of the ordinary greenish phos phorescent colour, while the head presents the appear ance of a bright glowing red coal of fire. The reflection on a piece of paper is also of the two colours. I never saw anything so beautiful." Mr. Bollaert adds, " This is doubt less ono of the Cocuyos family. Ono, the Pyropborus noc • tilucos, is described as the South American Cocuyo, or glowworm. Mr. Bollaert has noticed glowworms in the West Indies, North and South America, but never in such abundance and beauty as in the wilds of Western Texas ; 6tal he never observed but one light, the green, LA TEST INTEL LIGEN OF. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, March 15. The Minister of Finance will very shortly proceed to Pesth for the settlement of different financial questions. The negociations at Florence for the conclusion of an Austro-Italian commercial treaty are steadily progressing. Several voluminous docu ments in reference to this question were received yesterday from the Italian capital. The Diets of Bohemia, Moravia, and Carniola have been summoned to meet on the 6th April. It is believed that the Reichsrath will assemble on the 28th inst. The Debattc of this morning publishes a semi official article, contradicting the warlike rumours lately current, and stating that the question of the Servian fortresses may be considered as settled.

INDIA. A public meeting, presided over by the Viceroy, was held at Calcutta on the 12th February, to con cert measures for the relief of further impending distress in Orissa. Sir John Lawrence headed the subscription with £l,OOO, and eight mercantile firms subscribed £250 each. • Another small section of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway was to be opened on the 20th February, and the city of Nagpore, the capital of the central provinces, would thus be in complete railway communication with Bombay. The Nag pore extension of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail way has hitherto been open to Sindee, a station 30 miles from Nagpore. A party of gentlemen pro ceeded from Bombay to be present at the ceremony. The branch of the East Indian Railway to Jub bulpore, where it is to join the line of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway when the same is com pleted, is making rapid progress, and the Bombay Gazette says that a considerable portion of it will be opened in June next, if not indeed previously. CHINA. A terrific explosion occurred at Hong Kong on the 17th January. The powder hulk Zephyr and Bremen schooner Themis, moored about two miles from the Praya, and having on board 115 tons of powder between them, blew up, and 36 men were instantaneously killed, besides many more, number unknown, who were drowned by upsetting of sampans. The Overland China Mail of the Ist February says :—" It is said that the Chinese at Pekin have been enthusiastic at the account which Pin Ta-jen has given them of hi:, visit to Europe, and a desire has been manifested in many directions to follow his example. The establishment of a college under the foreign professors who have come out with Mr. Hart is looked upon with great interest, and it is generally believed, both among natives and Euro peans, to be likely to have a very beneficial influ ence. The chief difficulty will consist in getting professors acquainted with the language, those who have come out being mostly beyond the age when a language so difficult as Chinese can be acquired. It is, however, hoped that the student interpreters in the service of the Customs will render much assist ance in this respect, and that in the course of time the institution may be set, into good working order." JAPAN. The Japan Times Overland Mail of the 17th of January states that the principal political occur rence of the fortnight is the determination come to by the foreign Ministers to accept an invita tion tendered them by Stotsbashi, the new sho goon to visit him at Osaka. It was believed to be their intention to leave Yokohama for that pur pose in about a fortnight. " Such a visit, some time before the opening of the port of next Ja nuary," adds the Japan Times, would in any case have been necessary, as there is much to settle re 'garding the position of the new foreign settlement, the anchorage, the tenure of land, erection of buildings for the Custom-house and bonded ware houses, residences of diplomatic agents, &c." We read in the same paper :—" Many Japanese of high rank have left or are leaving this country for the purpose of being present at the French Exhibition. We have mentioned the departure of Satsuma's brothers and suite from Nagasaki, and almost every mail now carries away Japanese passengers. A large number of young gentlemen have been sent to Europe for education, and the very best results are to be anticipated from the evidently strong desire manifested amongst the upper classes of Japanese to see for themselves the nations of the West. Nor are their efforts at self-im provement confined to foreign travel. A school under French direction has been for some time established at Beaten, near the residence of his Excellency the French minister, and we are now able to announce that a school and college on the English flystem will shortly be opened at Yoko hama, under the direction of an English principal ; orders were sent home the mail before last for the necessary books. By the Alphee arrived a number of French officers, commissioned and non-com missioned—all men carefully picked for the service --whose mission, though of perhaps not so useful a character to the people, will, when fulfilled, materially strengthen the power of the Shogoon's government. They have been engaged as drill instructors to the Yedo army, which will be trained, clothed, and armed on the French model. Already a striking alteration is to be observed in the dress of the native officials. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA. Parliament assembled for the despatch of busi ness on the 17th January. llis excellency's speech congratulated the country on the abundance of the harvest, and on a state of general prosperity ; the result of Mr. Verdon's mission to England, and of the success of the Intercolonial Exhibition. It promised, among other measures, bills to amend the Land Act, the Common Schools Act, the Wine and Spirit Act, the Municipal and Local Government Acts, the administration of justice, insolvency, lunacy, banking, and police. It also promised a measure dealing with mining on private property, and mining on public reserves. No exception was taken in either house to the subjects contained in the address. Banquet at Liverpool to the Layers of the Atlantic Cable. Last evening the members of the American Cham ber of Commerce at Liverpool gave a grand banquet in the Law Association Rooms, to Sir S. Canning, Sir J. Anderson, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, and Mr. W. Smith. 'lhe room was beautifully decorated for the occasion with flags, mirrors, draperies, and some valuable objets d'art, lent for the occasion by Messrs. Ellington and Co., and the general effect was made unusually brilliant by the addition of about 40 extra gaseliers. About 100 gentlemen were present, including the principal resident American merchants, the Mayor of Liverpool, and the presidents of the chief commer cial associations of Liverpool and Manchester. Amongst the invited guests there were Mr. C. W. Adams, American Minister; H. T. Dudley, Esq., United States Consul at Liverpool ; H. Wilding, Esq., Vice-Consul ; .Sir J. Garvock, the command ing officer of the district ; Commander Prowse, R.N. ; Ilon. C. Fisher, Attorney-General of New Brunswick, and the four gentlemen in whose hon our the banquet was given. The chair was occupied by Win. Rathbone, jun., Esq., and the dinner was one of the most recherche ever given in the town. In the course of the evening the Chairman pre sented to Messrs. Canning, Anderson, Field, and W. Smith a magnificent solid gold medal, weighing upwards of three-quarters of a pound, designed and manufactured by Wyon, and decidedly one of the finest artistic works of the kind ever produced in this country. One one side the words " Atlantic Telegraph Cable" form a circle, below which is the Great Eastern in full sail on the ocean. Under this are the arms and legends of Great Britain and Ame rica. On the opposite side the name of the gentle man to whom the medal belongs is cut in a scroll, below which aro the arms and legend of Liverpool. A band of musicians, under the conductorship of Mr. Streather, played a selection of national and ap propriate music in the course of the evening, and an artistic bill of fare was ornamented with embossed bronze fac-similes of the gold medals. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been done honour to, The CHAIRMAN proposed, in warm and appro priate terms, "The Health of Mr. Field." After the cheering had subsided, Mr. FIELD rose and said—Mr. Chairman, I thank you for the kind manner in which you have spoken of me, and you, gentlemen, for the flattering way in which you have responded to the toast. Mr. President and members of the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, I sincerely thank you for the honour which you have conferred upon me by the presentation of this beautiful gold medal, which so gracefully commemorates the successful laying of the Atlantic cable, and which I shall prize the more for its having been placed in my hands by English and American merchants who are engaged in com merce with my own country, It is doubly gratify ing to me that this presentation should have been made in one of the greatest commercial centres in the world, where the white sails of so many fleets of goodly and well-laden ships speak not only of the magnitude of its trade, but symbolise that com munity of friendship, as well as of interest, which binds Liverpool to the people and the industries of the United States. But I flatter myself that, valu able as this gracious memento of a great achievement must ever appear in my eyes, it will become more valuable to my children and their descendants here after, as the inestimable benefits of the Atlantic Tele graph are gradually realised in all their fulness by our posterity. Thirteen years ago this very daylleft my home in New York for Boston, and sailed from thence to Newfoundland, to obtain the privilege of landing cables to connect Europe with America. Crowded although my memory is with the stirring events of these memorable thirteen years, with all the hopes and disappointments, the failures and successes of that interval, which seems so long in the retro spect, and is yet so brief in the reality, this is no t the time to narrate the personal achievements of both the living and the dead who have contributed towards the union of the two great Continents of the world. These things are matters of history, and history will do them justice. It will do justice to the Governments of Great Britain and the United States for the generous aid they gave in ships, and to the Governments of the British North American Pro vinces for the valuable privileges which they so promptly granted. It will do justice to the directors and officers of the various companies who gave time and labour, and administrative capacity of the highest order, to this great enterprise. To those who so liberally subscribed the capital, without which the Atlantic cable could never have been laid. To the skilful commanders, together with their officers and men, who were engaged onboard of the various ships, for the admirable ability which they exhibited in the navigation of their vessels, and in the performance of many difficult but indispensable scientific offices. To the eminent engineers, and their efficient staffs, who planned and perfected the machinery, and not only triumphantly laid one cable, but by a tran scendent, nay, an unparalleled exercise of patience and skill, picked up the broken cable from the eternal soli tude and darkness of the sea, where it peacefully rested till the moment of its recovery should arrive. To the distinguished electricians, and their accomplished as sistants, who, step by step, have discovered the laws by which the invisible electric current, in its passage through the ocean depths, may be as completely sub ordinated to the human will as the simplest piece of mechanism, which can be felt and handled, in one of your busy workshops ; and to the other scientific men who, by innumerable experiments, have contributed so largely to the accomplishment of the great end. I think I may safely affirm that never before were so many men brought together in one enterprise who wore so pre-eminently fitted, by diversified endow ments, and by special knowledge and experience, to solve the problem of the Atlantic telegraph. Most fortunate, moreover, were we in finding such a ship as the Great Eastern, and such a commander as Sir James Anderson. The man was made for the ship, and both were made for us. I would also give ex pression to the sense of gratitude we must all feel to the Press of England and America for its sup port in adversity as well as in good fortune ; and to the statesmen of all parties, on both sides of the Atlantic, whose cordial sympathy and encourage ment were never once withheld. There is only one whom I will mention by name, and this for the reason that he is now, alas ! no more. I refer to my illustrious friend, the late Richard Cobden, who proposed that the profits of the Great Exhi bition of 1851 should be devoted to the establishment of electrical communication between Great Britain and the American continent. Nor must I forget that during the thirteen years to which I have re ferred prayers for our success perpetually ascended to the Almighty from Christian men and women, who, although most of them had nothing to gain or to lose by the undertaking, were drawn towards it by the deep-felt conviction that if it were realised it could not fail to serve their Divine Master's cause by promoting " Peace ou earth and goodwill among men." We have now laid across the At lantic the two most perfect cables that were ever wade, and they are in such euelleut order that we could at this moment transact twelve times the amour of business we are now doing. lam therefore justified in expressing the hope that the tariff will soon be reduced, so as to keep the cables constantly em ployed, and make them not only financially suc cessful, but an international means of communica tion in the most useful, and therefore the most popu lar, sense. Moreover, I would permit political intelligence for the Press on both sides of the ocean to be transmitted at a rate which would enable its conductors to publish, morning by morning, a full summary of the news of the world. On the Ameri can side we shall soon have additional lines laid, connecting both cables with New York ; and then we shall always have a thorough wire for messages to Europe, and another exclusively devoted to mes sages coming from this end of the line. Even now, in New York, we often send a message to London on our way home to dinner in the evening, and on our return to business in the morning find the reply on our desks ; and it is very likely that the birth of the Princess, a very few weeks ago, was knew" earlier on the morning of the day on which it oc curred in San Francisco, on the shores of the Pacific, than it was here. I feel unspeakably grateful to God for His goodness in permitting me to come amongst you under circumstances so different from the past. What a contrast does this scene present to former appearances of mine in this great town ! Then, instead of celebrating a triumph, the goal of our hopes seemed almost invisible in the obscurity of an uncertain future. Then, instead of being able to point to two cables in working order, we could only show specimens of a cable that, we hoped and be lieved, would some day be laid, while we literally went from door to door to beg for subscriptions. " Now," to quote the eloquent language of Mr. Bright, "to speak from the United King dom to the North American continent, and from North America to the United Kingdom, Is but the work of a moment, and it does not require the utterance even of a whisper." We stand, indeed, on the threshold of that glorious future, when the telegraph will cross and recross seas and continents, and connect together, as by the links of one golden chain, all civilised and even semi civilised nations. We may live to see the day when every one of the 35 or 40 colonies which render al legiance to the gracious lady who sits upon the throne of these realms will be united to the mother country by the electric cord ; and when a Minister sitting in Downing-street will be able to address the Governor of any one of those diverse and widely scattered dependencies, and receive an answer, it may be, before he goes down to the House to answer some pressing inquiry. What moral advan tages, what pecuniary benefits will accrue from tilts great ocean network of cables, it is not for me to say. Your own imaginations can fill up the glow' ing picture. But, returning to the Atlantic tele graph, I say with all my heart, may this fraternal chain never be broken. May it, year by year, bring ra into closer relation and warmer sympathy the tw? great countries which ought never to be sep ated save by the ocean, which speak the same mother tongue, which inherit the same laws, profes s the same pure faith, worship the same God. The words of bitterness and enmity should never pass be twee . ll , mother and child; the only rivalry which should eexist between Imperial Britain and Republican Am erica should be in the ennobling effort to outstrip etch other in the race of civilisation, and to exte nd the, blessings of civil and religious lib er t y throng the world. In the course of the evening a brief report of the, proceedings was telegraphed to America by M r : Yor k Richard Stuart, Liverpool agent of the New Associated Press.
