IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 7. The trial of Augustine Costello was resumed yes terday in the Commission Court. Some coast guards and boa'rnen were examined to prove the circumstances connected with the arrival of the bri gantine at Sligo, and the landing of the prisoner and others near Dungarvan. Buckley, the informer, was recalled, and stated that there was a man named Capt. Million in the expedition. On cross-examina tion he said he did not always remember Million. He had made out a list of those whose names he knew after he male his first information. Ile could not tell whether it contained Million's name. Mr. Heron asked to have the list produced. The Attor ney-General said he had never seen it, and Mr. Anderson, the Crown Solicitor, knew nothing about it. After some delay the document was found in the Castle and given in evidence. It did contain an allusion to Million. Mr. Price, the governor, stated that Million was discharged on the 6th of August. A prisoner named Aylward was discharged on the 30th of August. On that day he received from the Deputy-Governor some documents in an envelope, which he sent to the Crown Solicitor. The witness, in answer to further questions which were objected to by prisoner's counsel, but allowed by the Court, stated that on the evening of the 30th of August he said to the prisoner at the door of his cell " This letter, which you have been endeavouring surrepti tiously to send out, has been discovered on the per son of the prisoner about to be discharged." The Attorney-General asked what reply the prisoner had made. Mr. Heron protested against what a prisoner said to the governor of a gaol in whose power he was being given against him, and said he was com pletely taken by surprise. He denounced it as an infamous system. After a discussion Judge Keogh ruled that the question should be put. Mr. Price then deposed that the prisoner said to him, " You have detained other letters of mine before." He had done so, and had informed the prisoner of the fact. He had never seen the prisoner write, but he had seen letters purporting to have been written by him. He had received the letters produced from a warder. James Kenny, the warder, swore that he saw the prisoner write the letters in the school room, and he gave them to the Governor. The Deputy-Governor stated that a letter had been found concealed in the boots of a prisoner named Aylward, who was discharged on the 30th August. He could not say positively that the letter produced was the same, but he believed it was. He identified a check which the prisoner had endorsed, and re ceived money out of. Mr. Price was recalled, and stated that he marked the letter which he got from Kenny as one which ought not to go out. In answer to Mr. Heron he said he might have got the letter from other warders. To the Court he added that the letter which he got was in the same state as when he read it at the time. In reply to other questions the witness said he could form an opinion as to the handwriting of the prisoner, but it would be founded on the assumption that the letters which passed through his office were written by Costello. Mr. Heron contended that there was not sufficient evi dence that the letter in question was in the prisoner's handwriting. After another long discussion, the Court admitted the letter found on Aylward, and the Solicitor-General proceeded to read it as follows. It was addressed to" Frank S. Belton, Esq., 334, Bridge-street, Brooklyn, New York, America:"— " Oh, I was very near forgetting a most important fact. Tell the parties in the new' building that Million has left here, and is said to have gone to America. Tell them from me, should they find out this gent. in N. Yk., to be careful how they intrust him with important secrets. I will not go so far as to say he is a spy or a traitor, but others would not judge of him so charitably. It is currently reported that he confessed all before he left here, but without some other person to corroborate his statements his evidence goes for nothing. This much I can say, w'aile in Waterford Gaol he was closeted with Cory don and others of that ilk who were sent on to identify us. lam afraid the fellow has played us false. Let them keep a close eye on him. Don't fail to tell them this ; it is of the first importance. Tell them not to forget the men suffering in prison." The case for the prosecution here closed, and the Court adjourned until this morning. The police are actively employed in searching for arms and watching the movements of suspected per sons. Last night they arrested an engineer named White, who resides in Manor-street, and found in his possession a pistol and 100 rounds of ball car tridge. Ile is charged with having stolen the pistol from a gunruaker's in Down-street. The police patrol the streets at night in parties of twos and threes, armed with cutlasses and revolvers. In the suburbs the constabulary keep up patrols, and no precaution is omitted to guard against outrage. The attention of the coastguard having been attracted by the firing of small arms on board the fishing ves sels at Ilouth the police searched them and found 27 guns, which they retain for the present. The wounded constables are in a precarious state, and no hopes are now felt that either of them will ulti mately recover. The Railway Commissioners were yesterday en gaged in the inspection of the Wicklow line in the neighbourhood of Shanganagh. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant will be en tertained at a public banquet by the citizens of Limerick on Wednesday the 18th of December, to commemorate the opening of a new graving dock. Mr. Acheson Henderson has been appointed to the Crown prosecutorship for Antrim, vacant by the death of Mr. Shegog. A special meeting of the corporation was held yes terday for the purpose of considering the present state of the market-places and the propriety of applying to Parliament for powers to extend and improve them. The Lord Mayor, who occupied the chair, brought the subject fully before the Council. He referred to the filthy and dilapidated condition of the markets, some of the houses being ready to fall, others used as slaughter-houses, to the danger of the public health, and others unoccupied or ten auted by the poorest classes. Such a state of things be thought discreditable to the city. He suggested that it would be more advantageous for the public to restore the cattle-market to Smithfield, which should be suitably fitted up and provided with abat toirs, and to remove the hay, straw, fish, and potato markets to the site now used for a cattle market. Under the Improvement Act the corporation had the power of obtaining laud for the erection of mar kets, but only at the price at which the owner might set upon it, but that was in fact no power at all. He recommended that a committee of the whole house should take the matter into consideration. After some discussion the house resolved itself into a committee , and the meeting was adjourned. The citizens are far from being unanimous in desir ing that the corporation should obtain the powers for which they propose to apply to Parliament. While it is right that abuses should be corrected, and that the corporation, or some responsible body in whom the public would have confidence, should have the power of inspection and control, it is ex tremely doubtful whether, as regards economy or convenience, the public would be benefited by a change which would enable the corporation to con centrate the markets in certain places. There seems no fair reason why vendors of food should not share the liberty which other traders enjoysof obtaining the best places they can for the sale of meat, fish, or vegetables, instead of being shut up in glass cases which the public may find it inconvenient to visit. In the days of the ancient guilds trades of all kinds were collected in separate localities, but another sys tem now prevails ; the old nests are broken up, and trades are scattered indiscriminately through the business thoroughfares. Butchers, fishmongers, and greengrocers have imitated the example of others, and come out of the obscure, remote, and dingy districts to which they had been consigned into more healthful and stirring localities. They have found it advantageous to seek out their cus tomers, instead of obliging their customers to seek them out, and the public find it advantageous to have the supply of their daily wants brought within easy reach of them. Some improvements are un doubtedly required, such as the erection of abattoirs and an efficient system of inspection to prevent frauds, but an opinion prevails outside the Council that no sufficient reason has yet teen shown for ap- plying for extended powers to remedy evils which the corporation might have removed if they had properly used the powers which they already pos sess.

Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's screw troopship Urgent, Capt. S. H. Henderson, will sail from Portsmouth on Tues day next, unless the disastrous effects produced by the hurricane at St. Thomas should cause her earlier departure for the West Indies, with naval officers, seamen, and marines to join her Majesty's ships on the North American and West Indian and the Pacific stations. 'fhe Urgent will call in at Ply mouth Sound on her way down Channel. The officers and men for her Majesty's ships on the North American and West Indian stations she will dis embark at Bermuda, and those for her Majesty's ships in the Pacific at Colon, for Panama, by way of the Isthmus Railway. We understand that the removal of the minor portions of the military and naval transport service, by the screw troopships of her Majesty's navy, from Portsmouth to Plymouth is under consideration by the authorities, on the ground that it will be im peratively necessary to have always available at the shortest notice all requisite jetty and dock accommo dation at the former port for the Indian troop ser vice steamships Serapis and Crocodile. Portsmouth is, however, such a conveniently central position for receiving troops from or discharging them to the camp at Aldershot on the various regimental depots scattered over the kingdom, and is also closely con tiguous to the greatmilitary hospital at Netley, that the substitution of Plymouth for it as the part of embarkation and debarkation of troops would be an almost impossible arrangement. There seems, in deed, no sufficient reasons for warranting such a change. There is, in fact, at Portsmouth dockyard abundance of accommodation for embarking and disembarking troops from all of her Majesty's troop steamers without interfering with the ordinary ac commodation required for the regular ships of war. There might at times be found a want of dock space, but this could be obtained at Keyham if the ship could not wait her turn at Portsmouth. What is really wanted at Portsmouth yard is an improve ment upon the present dockyard official organisa tion in the management of her Majesty's transports during the time they are in harbour. The transport service of the Royal Navy is becoming very im portant, and it requires the nicest care and adjust ment to secure its efficient working. The Royal Sovereign, 5, screw turret ship, tender to the gunnery ship Excellent, under the temporary command of Lieut. Poland, of her Majesty's ship Excellent, returned into Portsmouth harbour yester day morning from Spithead, and resumed her usual harbour moorings. Practice with shot and shell from the new 9-inch rifled gun in third turret was made on Wednesday off Sandown-bay, with very satis factory results. Capt. A. Hood, C. 8., her Ma jesty's ship Excellent, Capt. R. Scott, R.N., and other officers were on board officially to witness and report upon the firing, &c. The War Department vessel Lord Vivian arrived at Woolwich yesterday from Dublin, laden with the old-pattern cartridges and . smallarm ammuni tion, to be replaced by those of the Boxer pattern, and also other returned stores. The armament of the double-screw composite gun vessels of the Beacon and Dwarf class is to be in creased by the addition of a couple of the 20-pounder breechloading Armstrong guns. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Buffalo went down to Woolwich yesterday from Deptford and commenced coaling, in readiness to proceed to Rouen to take on board the War Department and naval stores exhibited in raris for transport home. Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of her Majesty's navy, was a passenger by the up-train from Calais for Paris which met with the serious collision on the 27th ult., but two days elapsed after the accident before he felt any serious effects from it beyond a severe shaking. He has since been lying for some days at Corbeil, in France, suffering from a concus sion of the brain, but is, we are glad to be able to state, now considerably better, and is expected to be sufficiently convalescent very shortly to return to England and resume his duties at the Admiralty. Perfect repose and quiet are still imposed. In consequence of several cases having recently occurred of engineer students, apprentices in her Majesty's service, who have been educated at the School of Naval Architecture, Kensington, having immediately on the completion of their period of study entered the service of private firms, an Ad miralty order has been received at Chatham direct , ing a new clause to be inserted in the indentures of all apprentices, who will in future be required to enter into a bond, in the sum of £5O, to remain in her Majesty's service for five years after the com pletion of their term of apprenticeship and scholastic Course. Yesterday the chartered troopship Countess Rus sell, taken up by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of reinforcements to Kurrachee, com pleted the embarcation of her officers and troops at Gravesend. They consist of one officer, three ser geants, four corporals, 109 men, and 18 soldiers' wives and children of the Royal Artillery ; two officers, one sergeant, 15 men, and three women and children of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars ; one sergeant, one corporal, 15 men, and two women of the 20th Hussars ; one officer, one corporal, 10 men, and six women of the 21st Hussars ; two officers, one sergeant, two drummers, one corporal, 39 men, and 18 soldiers' wives and children of the 36th Regiment ; one officer, one sergeant, two corporals, four men, and 19 women and children of the 10th Bengal Fusiliers; and one officer, one staff sergeant, one corporal, 56 men, and 14 women and children of the 106th Bom bay Light Infantry, giving a total of 9 officers, 8 sergeants, 2 drummers, 10 corporals, and 289 men, with 34 soldiers' wives and 48 children. Yesterday the chartered sailing troopship Dibhur commenced the embarkation at Gravesend of up wards of 400 non-commissioned officers and men, with 8 officers, for Kurrachee, the troops being selected from various cavalry and infantry regiments. The embarkations were effected under the superin tendence of the officers of the Staff from Chatham garrison. Major J. B. Edwards, assistant field officer for military discipline at the Royal Engineer establish ment, Chatham, has been transferred to Portsmouth, for employment under the commanding Royal En gineer in the south-west district. A general court-martial assembled at Chatham yesterday, by order of the Duke of Cambridge, for the trial of Private James Jackson, 82d Regiment. The court was presided over by Col, F. G. Nuth,-.11, commanding the First Division of the Depot Bri gade, Royal Artillery ; Col. J. H. Laye, Deputy Judge Advocate, conducting the case, and Capt. G. W. Northey, Adjutant of the 2d Depot Battalion, the prosecution. The prisoner was arraigned for having on the occasion of the finding and proceed ings of a district court martial, before which he had previously been tried, being read over to the assembled troops, made use of violent and mutinous language, to the prejudice of good order and mili tary discipline. Although the prisoner has been but a few years in the service, he has scarcely done any military duty, as he has passed the greater portion of his time in prison. Ile has been tried by court martial five times. The court found him guilty, but the sentence will not be promulgated until the pro ceedings and finding of the court have been sub mitted for her Majesty's approval. Major-Gen. St. George, C. 8., Director of Ord nance, having resumed his duties at the War Depart ment, on his return from leave of absence, went down to Woolwich, and held a consultation with the heads of departments relative to the estimates for the en suing year's expenditure. Col. Clerk, superinten dent of the Royal Carriage Department, made a demand for a new block of offices, rendered neces sary in consequence of the close proximity of the present offices with the range of steam hammers and machinery recently introduced, The whole of the carpenters' shops in the vicinity of the offices have been converted into smitheries, engine-rooms, and workshops for carrying out the new system of wrought-iron gun carriages and equipment. The oscillation and constant jarring occasioned by the working of the heavy machinery is, therefore, a source of interruption and ceaseless inconvenience, which, on inspection, the Director of Ordnance readily acknowledged. A site was subsequently pointed out at his request, adjacent to the Works Department offices, and pronounced available for the purpose. The Director of Ordnance afterwards joined the various members of the Select Committee, and inspected the carriage department, pack saddles, 6,000 iu number, intended for service in Abyssinia, and, after being packed for shipment, were rejected and replaced by the Otago saddles. Brigadier- Gen. Lefroy, President lt.A., F.R.S., Capt. Luard, R.N., C. 8., Lieut.-Col. Shaw, and other members of the Committee, were present, their object being to ascertain if they could be converted into ambu lance saddles for the conveyance of the sick and wounded on chairs and in litters, and for the use of light transport in general. The work of underpinning and strengthening the foundations of the Herbert Hospital recently erected for the accommodation of the garrison troops at Woolwich is still in progress and, according to esti mation, it will extend over six or eight weeks longer, the dilapidation having been found greater than was anticipated. A sum approaching £1,500 had been already expended in repairs, and great hopes are entertained of the eventual success of the work now in hand, by which an effectual system of drainage will be securely established, and the building, not withstanding its disadvantageous position, will be free from the danger which it was feared would ren der it unfit for the habitation of invalids. THE SECRETARY OF 7HE POOR LAW BOARD AND THE FARNILAM WORK HOUSE. TUR At the annual dinner of the North-East Hauts Agricultural Association, which was held at Alton on Tuesday, Mr. Sclater-Booth, M.P., took the op portunity, in replying to the toast of " The County Members," to refer at length to the pending inquiry into the condition of Farnham Union and other mat- :ers of public importance. His remarks on the former subject, which was previously introduced by the Rev. Dr. Fell, embodying as they do the sentiments of the President and members of the Poor-law Board, will doubtless be read with an amount of interest corresponding to the attention with which ley were received. Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH, M.P., in responding to the :oast, after alluding to the absence of Mr. Beach, _ . _ _ . M.P., who is in Italy, said—lt is scarcely possible ior a member of Parliament to address his consti tuents at this moment without referring to the re- markable circumstance that we are now on the verge of a new session of Parliament in November. This is a new state of things, which has only once oc- curred within my experience, and I hope sincerely that it will not occur again. When I look abroad and see the Continent bristling with arms ; when we see the great nations of France, Germany, and Italy viewing each other with angry distrust, and when we know that every Stock Exchange in Europe has been for some months past in apprehen sion of war breaking out, not because there was any reasonable apprehension or grounds of quarrel that we could put our fingers upon, but simply from the fact that the Powers of Europe were arrayed, as it were, in arms, and it seemed impossible but that war should follow. 'When we look at the critical state of circumstances existing in Italy we ought to be thankful that the worst that can happen to us—a -ROYAL NA7IONAL LIFEBOAT INSTI I'UTION. foreign war—is a war in Abyssinia,and this subject, as you are aware, has necessitated the calling toge ther of Parliament at this unusual and inconvenient season of the year. To the Government, Parliament, and the country at large it is satisfactory to know that the people are to be consulted upon the great question of peace or war, although it is applied to a place so obscure and comparatively insignificant as Abyssinia. I feel that the country will respond to the call which will be made, and which we hope will not necessitate so serious an outlay as is generally imagined. The expedition has been planned with wisdom, and I hope will be conducted with success ; but that some sacrifices will have to be made is cer tain. The cause of the war is, however, so just, and the escape from it so impossible, that I feel sure the Government will be heartily supported in the expe- Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Thos. Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., in the chair. There were also present . .. . Sir E. Perrott, Bart., W. H. Harton, Esq., Admi ral Ryder, G. Lyall, Esq., Capt. De St. Croix, A. Boetefour, Esq., and R. Lewis, Esq., secretary to he institution. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, Areward of £l2 3s. was votedto pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat at Braunton, in putting off in a westerly gale and a heavy sea, and saving the lives of the crew, consisting of nine men, of the brig Ruth, of London, which went ashore near Braunton on the 17th ult. A reward of £6 lls. was likewise granted to pay the expenses of the lifeboat of the institution at Llanddwyn, in putting off on the 21st ult. and bringing safely ashore the crew of 11 men belonging to the bark James Campbell, which went ashore on the North Bank, about two miles from Llanddwyn. A reward of il3 9s. was dition which they have undertaken to carry out. Allusion has been made to my connection with the Poor Law Board, and if this had not been the case I could scarcely, speaking to an audience at Alton, have forborne to allude to circumstances which have voted to pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat at Girvan, N. 8., in putting off in a hurricane on the 26th ult. and succeeding, after great exertions, in saving the crew of three men of the smack Margaret Davies, of Girvan, which had become a total wreck off that place. The shipwrecked sailors afterwards publicly expressed their gratitude for their rescue ; for, in the absence of the lifeboat, they felt that in that dark and stormy night they must have perished. When the poor fellows were rescued they were all but exhausted, as their vessel was nearly all under water, and the sea making a clean breach over them. A reward of £l4 Bs. 6d. was likewise voted to pay the expenses of the Daniel J. Draper lifeboat, just sent to Mullion, Cornwall, in going off, on the 21st ult., in a heavy surf and bringing safely ashore those of the crew of the barque Achilles, of Glasgow, which had stranded during foggy weather on Polu- wian Beach.

The following is the text of the identical note ad dressed by the Governments of France, Russia, Prussia, and Italy to the Porte relative to the Cretan question : " Since the beginning of the lamented events which have occurred in the Island of Crete the Great Powers took a great concern in the state of things, which not only wounded their feelings of humanity, but which would also exercise amongst the Christian population in Turkey an influence en dangering the tranquillity of the East and the gene ral peace. " Several of those Powers have agreed to advise the Porte to stop the effusion of blood, and to con cert with them a solution to that deplorable conflict by means of an impartial inquiry ou the complaints and the wishes of the Candiotes. " Meantime, they insisted upon saving the farni ,es of the insurgents from the calamities of war. "The Ottoman Government did not materially oppose that work of humanity, but they met the counsels, the exhortations, and the urgent and reiterated demands of the Cabinets with an inert strength nothing could victoriously attack. " The amnesty the Ottoman Government granted to suspend hostilities does not give any of the guar antees which would render such a step truly serious, and their definitive refusal of a collective inquiry leaves no hope for any solution of the open ques tion, nor any remedy to the abuses which provoked the rising of the Candiotes, which agitated the Christians in the East, and won the solicitude of the Great Powers in Europe. " In spite of their pressing demands, not a single organic reform has been resorted to till now to satisfy the wishes ocjthe other Christian populations of the Ottoman Empire, for whom the sight of that stubborn conflict is apermanent cause of excitement. "In those conjectures the Powers who have offered their counsels to the Porte have the satis faction of having accomplished the dictates of humanity, and of their feelings of sympathy, not only for the general interests of the Christian races, but for the well-being of Turkey herself ; for that well-being is indissolubly connected with the hap piness and tranquillity of the:populations placed under the Sultan's sceptre. " The Cabinets apprehend that the prolongation of that sanguinary conflict, and the obstinate re sistance of the Porte to listen to friendly exhorta tions, should dispel among those populations the hope of seeing their situation really improved just at the moment when they are most fervently enter taining such hopes. By following such a policy the Porte is precipitating the crisis the Cabinets are so anxious to avoid. "They believe that they have exhausted the efforts of conciliation and the advices of foresight. "Therefore, without renouncing the generous mis sion their consciences impose upon them, they havebut one alternative—to redeem their responsibility, and to let the Porte bear the possible consequence of her actions. "It is certain that the Ottoman Government could not reckon upon a material assistance from the Christian Powers in the path it has chosen, and which it continues to follow. " But the Cabinets, after having vainly tried to enlighten it, think it is their duty to declare to the Ottoman Government that henceforth it would be useless to ask their moral support in the. middle of the embarrassments in which Turkey is involved in consequence of the trifling importance she has attached to their counsels." been in everybody's mouth, and formed the subject of discussions in newspapers, viz., with regard to the neighbouring Union of Farnham. Many of you are, or have been, guardians of the poor, and many of you are guardians in this union. You will therefore have viewed the raid of the Lancet commissioners with mixed feelings, because you must be aware that your turn may come next, and that an inquiry begun in one place may be carried on in another. (Hear.) I do not wish to give an opinion as to what may be the condition of the workhouse at Farnham, or of workhouses elsewhere, but I will ask you to remember that the condition of workhouses gene rally is a subject which is receiving more and more attention at the hands of the public, and that it is one which we must expect to see engross still more of that attention. The workhouses which were built originally for the reception of the able-bodied poor, have been changed by circumstances into hospitals for the sick, aged, and imbecile of their respective localities. I think there can be no doubt that public opinion will require that the appliances and comforts bestowed upon these sick, aged, and infirm, shall be more in accordance with modern notions than was intended or expected 30 or 40 years ago when these workhouses were originally built. This is a subject which I can assure you is under the anxious consi i auLatluu of tlin Proof font of tho Ptinr Law Bnar4l (Lord Devon), and he will not fail to keep his mind directed to that subject. Most of us have fellow feelings for those gentlemen who, at sacrifice of time and trouble to themselves, undertake the onerous, and, as it appears, thankless office of guardians of the poor. Every consideration ought to be given them in the discharge of their difficult duties —a consideration which, I am sorry to say, they do not always receive. There is one point in connexion with this subject I should wish to explain—and that is the apparent delay which has taken place since the Farnham Workhouse has become the topic of public discussion, in the inquiry which was appointed to be held. That delay arises solely from the fact that it was necessary to consult the guardians and the in spector of the district before any decision could be taken by the central authority, and I think any one of you as guardians of the poor would consider it extraordinary if the Government were to send down to inquire into the condition of your workhouse— complaint being made in the public newspapers— without your attention being first called to the cir cumstance. A week's delay was therefore caused by the guardians of the Farnham Union not having an opportunity of replying to the communications .ad dressed to them. That inquiry will be held in the course of a few days, and I hope the result will be satisfactory to all parties concerned. At the same time it is difficult to see how that shall happen com pletely. I would only ask the forbearance of the public so far as this. I would ask them to re member that the condition of the workhouses is no longer what it was in former days—that the ob jects which the workhouses are intended to serve are entirely changed ; that we have no longer able bodied paupers to be maintained in workhouses, and that they are diverted from their original purposes and converted into receptacles for a different class of people altogether. This subject is not wholly alien to the object which has brought us here to-day, the main aim of our anniversary being the improve ment of the condition of the labouring classes. The labourers who will be called upon to receive prizes are the pick and elite of their class ; they are the fur" thest removed from pauperism and are those whose independence, honesty, and integrity we wish to compliment, who, by their exertions and laborious lives, set an example to their neighbours—that which we wish to see generally spread throughout the country—a horror of relying for relief from the poor-rates, and a desire to maintain an indepen dence characteristic of every Englishman, be he high or low in society. I wish it were possible to look forward to the decrease of pauperism in this coun try, and to foresee the day when the labouring man shall be able to insure against sickness and old age for the benefit of his family, with the same regula larity, and in an analogous manner to that which is done by the professional classes of this country, by Friendly Societies, Odd Fellows' associations, and by subscriptions to county friendly societies. By these means a great deal of good has already been done that may be carried very much further, and it is to means of this kind that we may look for the diminution of pauperism. The efforts of these societies tend in that direction, and, therefore, my remarks are not altogether alien to the purposes for which we are met here to-night.

On this occasion, most of the men being at sea, the lifeboat was manned and launched prin cipally by the aid of women, most of whom had re latives on board the endangered fishing boats. Rewards were also granted to the crews of the society's lifeboats at Sutton, Ilfracombe, North Deal, Runswick, Holyhead, Exmouth, Whitbuan, Newhaven, Caister, and Fraserburgh, for various services during the recent heavy gales. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of different shore boats for saving life from shipwreck on our coast. During the present year the society has contri buted to the rescue of 807 lives from various ship wrecks. In the past two months the institution has made payments to the amount of £B,OOO on its 183 lifeboat stations, including the expenses of forming some new lifeboat establishments, many of which involved a large outlay. A portion of the funded capital of the society was ordered to be sold out to meet these heavy payments. During the past month new lifeboats had been sent to Silloth, Cumberland ; Kessingland, Suffolk ; and Bembridge, Isle of Wight ; also to Ayr and North Berwick, in Scotland ; and to Kingstown, in Ireland. Several of the railway and steampacket companies had kindly given free transmission to the lifeboats and their transporting carriages. Grand demonstratrations had taken place with the Ayr and Bembridge boats, the first being the gift to the institution of the Glasgow workmen, through Mr. G. Norval ; and the second that of the city of Worcester, through Capt. S. Fraser, R.N. New lifeboat stations were also about to be formed by the institution at Douglas, in the Isle of Man, and at Broadstairs ; the last-named station was to be appropriated to the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows. J. G. Frith, Esq., of London, and Mrs. Frith, had given £420 to the institution to defray the cost of an additional lifeboat for Ross Links, Holy Island. A lady had also presented to the institution £4OO to pay for the lifeboat about to be stationed at Bull Bay, on the Anglesey coast. It was reported that Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., F.R.S., had intimated to the institution his wish to defray the entire cost of a new lifeboat station for Cromer, on the Norfolk coast. It was also stated that legacies had been left to the society by the late Mrs. Maria Deane, of Cheltenham, £lOO ; and by the late Mrs. Miriana Hooper, of Andover, duty free, £lOO. A contribution of £5O had been received from Miss Burdett Coutts. Letters were read from the French Shipwreck and Lifeboat Society, expressing their thanks to the institution for the gift of the lifeboat and its car riage lately at the Paris Exhibition. They were to be stationed at the port of Calais, where a commo dious and substantial boathouse is being built for their reception. Reports were read from the inspector and the assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the society on their recent visits to various lifeboat stations. The proceedings then terminated. THE REVOLVER CANNON. —The American re volver cannon which has been constructed at Liege was tried a few days ago at the proof-ground. It has eight chambers placed like those of a revolve•. Two are dis charged at each stoppage in the rotation, and it throws ex plosive projectiles a distance of 2,500 metros. This weapon can fire 100 shots a minute, and, with its carriage and ammunition, weighs about 600 lb, RUSSIA AND 1 URKEY. The following is the text of the circular despatch Prince Gortchacow has addressed to the Russian representatives abroad, in explanation of the iden tical note of France, Russia, Prussia, and Italy to the Porte : " St. Petersburg, Oct. 30, 1867. " You know the policy which the Imperial Cabinet has followed in the Eastern affair. " You know that since 1866 it has called the at tention of the Porte and of the Great Powers to a situation which, according to its opinion, was daily becoming more grave. " In fact, on the one side, the Christian popula- tion, seeing that the collective action of the Great Powers, which constituted their sole guarantee, was paralysed by the want of concert, gradually lost any hope of a better condition and their confidence in the support of Europe. "On the other hand, their aspirations were surexcited to the highest point by the doctrines which triumphed elsewhere and by the facts accom plished in neighbouring countries. " That double current acting on those popula tions could but render their situation more painful, and their resignation more difficult. Partial and successive explosions in Syria, Lebanon, Servia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, and finally in Crete, had confirmed our previsions and asserted the imminence of a crisis, which became more serious by spreading itself. " Our counsels, however, remained sterile. " Lately, when the rising in Candia revealed the progress of that situation, the Imperial Cabinet reiterated its efforts both at Constantinople and with the Great Powers. "It invited the cabinets to concert with it and exhort the Porte not to let grow that insurrection which could have its conere-coup in the whole of the Christian East, and become the first spark of a general conflagration. "By preventing an explosion by means of wise concessions to the claims of the Candiotes, by means of an equitable satisfaction to the demands of the Servians, and lastly, by means of serious reforms, ensuring to the Christian subjects of the Sultan tolerable conditions of existence, it was possible to appease the Christian populations, and to leave to time, to the progress of ideas, and to the develop ment of interest, the pacific solution of the social and political difficulties of the Eastern question. "In spite of our instances, the accord of the cabinets remained incomplete, their language did not produce on the Turkish Government the desired effect. It pursued the rigour of a repression which only rendered the conflict more ardent, the passions more fierce, the transactions more difficult ; and its partial essays at conciliation, tried at the eleventh hour, lost both opportunity and efficacy. In those conjectures the Imperial Cabinet has not deviated from the path in which it had entered from the beginning. That path was traced to it by the views guiding the policy of our august master, by Russia's traditions, and her interests of a limitroph power and of a great European power, co-responsible for the tranquillity in the East, and for the general peace. " The Imperial Cabinet's opinion was that there is still a chance of preventing the imminent com plications by counsels tendered to the Turkish Go vernment. SUch a task exclusively pertained to Europe, interposing her collective authority between the parties at war and holden to them the same language unanimously and with the same firmness. " If that chance was lost, and the crisis had be come unavoidable, the duty and the interests of all commanded to limit it by avoiding every interven tion, thus preventing the general peace from being jeopardised by it. " It i 3 what the Imperial Cabinet proposed on November 28, 1866. " Some of the Great Powers having given their adhesion to our views, the first part of the pro gramme was fulfilled. " The result is known. The urgent and reite rated demands of the Imperial Cabinet ar.d of the Governments which adopted them have failed before the resolution of the Porte. The personal efforts of persuasion tried by our august master during the mission of Fuad Pacha at Livadia also failed. " Consequently the Imperial Cabinet came to the conclusion that it only remained to the Powers to fulfil the second part of their task. " Such was the aim of the declaration it proposed ; and it is that declaration which has just been handed to the Porte by the representatives of Russia, France, Prussia, and Italy at Constantinople, the original draft having been slightly modified, accord ing to suggestions from France. "In enclosing herewith the text of that docu ment, I think it is necessary that I should state the exact signification we attach to it. " Our august master is anxious to be no longer responsible for a situation the dangers of which are foreseen by his Imperial Majesty, which dangers he has tried to avoid by all possible means. " He is anxious to prevent political rivalries from widening the complications, already so grave, of the Oriental question by the complications of the actual state of Europe. " It is for that purpose that his Imperial Majesty has proposed the principle of non-intervention, which he is ready to observe as long as it will be respected by the other Powers. " However, that principle could not imply in difference. Therefore Russia, like the Powers which have joined it, could not renounce the generous mission conscientiously imposed on the Great Powers on occasions where humanity should im periously demand it. " Finally, it is why the Imperial Cabinet, while avoiding every isolated action which would aggra vate the actual complications in the East, will be always ready to take part in a European concert whose aims would be to solve them. We are con vinced that such a concert would only tend to an equitable end, worthy of the Christian Powers, in accordance with the general interests of peace and civilisation, to which political rivalry and exclusive views must give way. " It is in that sense that you will express your self with the Government at which you are ac credited.—Receive, &c., (Signed) " GORTCHACOW." EARL GROSVENOR AT CHESTER. Earl Grosvenor, M.P., and Mr. W. H. Glad stone made interesting speeches at the public luncheon given after the inauguration on Tuesday of the new Grosvenor Park, presented to the citizens of Chester by the Marquis of Westminster. Among the invited guests also were the noble Marquis and the Marchioness of Westminster, Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lady Theodora Grosvenor, Lord Belgrave, the Right Hon. W. E. and Mrs. Gladstone, the Bishop of Chester and Mrs. Graham, the Dean of Chester, the Mayor and Mrs. Johnson, the Recorder of Chester, Colonel Call (18th Royal Irish), &c. The Mayor of CHESTER, in proposing the health of the noble donor of the park, remarked that the Marquis of Westminster was not an ordinary noble man, and possessed virtues which rendered him the most deserving and popular landlord known in that part of the kingdom. (Cheers.) The Marquis of WESTMINSTER made a feeling re ply, expressing a hope that the park might prove a place where in future ages the public would obtain healthful recreation. Mr. Sheriff BOWERS proposed " The Health of the Members for the City, Earl Grosvenor and Mr. W. 11. Gladstone," a toast that was most enthusiastically received. Earl GROSVENOR, M.P., in responding, alluded to his 20 years' Parliamentary experience, and then made some remarks on the occasion of their assein bling on that day. The noble lord said—l think you will agree with me that the guiding principle of my father's life, which he has endeavoured, and I believe successfully, to hold before him, has been to do his duty in as straight a line as possible. (Applause.) You will agree with me in this—that certainly to bis own tenants, with whom here in Chester we have most to do, that has been the guiding principle of his life for the 22 years during which he has held the large estates he inherited from my grandfather. (Applause.) Happily, he has not confined his prac tice to the welfare and well-being of his own tenants, but he has looked beyond the circle, and endeavoured to follow it out in regarding the welfare and well being of his nearest neighbours, in his case not alone confined to Chester, but extending also to the metro polis, where a large part of his property is situated, and to other parts of the country. Fortunately, in his case, there has been a complete concurrence of inclination to do these things with ample means to carry it out—a happy coincidence, which perhaps is not always obtainable. I know that he has been for some time very anxious to see a park made and laid out and given to the citizens of Chester, because though in a provincial town no doubt the fields are nearer than they arc in such large towns as London, still you know the difficulty under which the poorer classes of towns live—that their duties in their own homes are such that they are absolutely prevented from going any distance out of town. (Hear, hear.) This park is situated near the city, and, in addition, the situation is exceed ingly pretty; and its being, as it were, in the very heart of the city and close to the door of the poorest of the population, will afford to them the opportu nity of enjoying fresh air and sunshine, and the flowers which will be planted in this park, with great advantage, relief, and recreation to them selves. My father has given this park under con ditions which I think are very slight and easy in themselves, and which have been accepted very generally and with great cordiality by the citizens. (Applause.) I think one great source of satisfac tion to my father will be that this park will be en joyed by all classes, rich and poor, for many gene rations to come. (Applause.) One little incident occurred to-day, which may not be known to the company present. A man named Bebington pre sented my father with a carriage panel with the fa mily arms painted upon it. It happened to be part of the carriage which was pitched over the old bridge in the year 1820—(laughter)—five or six and forty years ago, belonging to Field Marshal General Grosvenor. (Applause.) Well, my father with extraordinary presence of mind and with great good humour, and without vindictiveness at all, or strict interpretation of the rights of property, did not move to the policeman and say, " Take this man up for having stolen property in his possession," but handed the panel over to Mr. Allen, with a request that he would take it to Eaton and put it in the most prominent place there. I shall ask my father to give me that panel and put it in my carriage. (Applause.) One word with regard to the address presented to my father. It expresses in very touch ing and kindly words the hope that the good feeling which has subsisted for many years between our house at Eaton and the city of Chester may long continue. I can only say I think this gift of the park has been a pledge on the one side that that good feeling exists in full power. (Applause.) And the way in which that gift has been received, on the other hand, proves that the citizens are willing to keep up that goodwill and friendship towards our house which has so long subsisted. I hope myself and the children that come after me will do their best to keep up that good feeling which already exists. (Applause.) Mr. W. 11. GLADSTONE, M.P., said—l can assure you it has been a true pleasure to me to assist at the ceremony of to-day. If I may congratulate the citizens of Chester, I may also congratulate Lord Westminster upon the character of the demonstra tion we have seen to-day—a demonstration that proves how intimate is the alliance that may exist in this country between the landlord and those who come under his influence. This fact strikes me the more forcibly, because I have just returned from a short tour in Ireland, and I regret to say that in that country the relation between tenant and land lord is so cold that such a scene as we have witnessed to-day would be there almost impossible. It is in England only, and not in Ireland, that these scenes can take place ; and I should not be using too strong a phrase when I say that Lord Westminster is evi dently regarded as little less than a patron saint•. (Applause.) If, as I think I may say without undue presumption, everything that pleases you pleases me, I venture on my account to offer to his lordship a humble tribute of gratitude; and in conclusion I can only re-echo the wish that has been so eloquently expressed, that Lord Westminster may be spared for many years in health and strength, and that our intimate connections with the house of Eaton may long continue, and that his lordship's heirs in direct line may, in generations to come, be Earls of Chester. I for one, of those who have assisted in the cere mony, will look back to the proceedings of this day with lively pleasure, and I am very certain that Lord 'Westminster himself will be no exceptional case, because if he has known how to present to the citizens of Chester a noble and friendly gift, he has also the satisfaction of seeing that the citizens of Chester on their part have known how to evince their gratitude in a manner worthy the occasion.— (Loud applause.) VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND. A volcanic eruption has taken place in Iceland, of which an account has been sent to Mr. Buchan, secretary of the Meteorological Society, by two of the society's observers at Reykjavik—viz., the Rev. S. 0. Palssen, Knight of Dannebrog, and Dr. Hjaltalin, a member of the Althing. The Rev. S. 0. Palssen writes :—" On Thursday, the 29th of August, it blew a stiff breeze from the east, and the sky was rather cloudy. At 9 a.m. the air became suddenly impregnated with a strong smell of sul phur, which lasted the whole day, and was felt even in the rooms if doors and windows were not carefully closed. In the afternoon reports were heard as of artillery discharged at a great distance. On the following day the same reports were heard at intervals, but no smell was observed. In the evening, at half-past 7, there were seen i❑ the direc tion of E.N.E. sheets of flame ascending into the air like lightning. The same appearance was ob served in the west part of Iceland for several nights following and in the same direction. It has bee n ascertained that this eruption took place somewhere in the desert vicinity of Vatnajokul. It has fortu nately not been attended with any serious conse quences. Sulphurous ashes were seen on the grass in the nearest inhabited tracts ; and for some days, until rain fell, the pasture was not very wholesome for the cattle, which were unquiet and gave less milk than they used to do. This eruption must have been somewhat violent, as the flames were seen at great distances over the mountains ; and a column smoke was also visible. Since the middle of September no further symptoms of this eruption have been observed." Dr. Hjaltalin writes :—" On the 29th of August a disagreeable, sulphurous odour was felt over all our little town (Reykjavik), and became very opppessive, and occasioned a good deal of coughing. The weather at the time was somewhat misty and warm, the temperature being 46 deg; and the wind was from S.E. to E., and not strong. In the evening, heavy shots, like a continuous cannonade, were heard from the east, and a rolling, as of thunder, under ground. Next day, at 7 p.m., appearances of a great fire were seen in a direction S.E. by E. from Rekyjavik. The colour of the flame was bluish white, resembling the flame of burning sulphur. It was half a mile broad at the base. It continued all night, and was clearly seen more than a hundred miles out at sea. Lightning and rolling peals of thunder were heard, but, as far as known, no earth quake was felt either here or in any other part of the island. Greyish white ashes were found on the grass in some places, which I found on examination to consist of a black pumice dust and pure sulphur. From a comparison of the different reports, it is all but certain that the eruption took place on the north side of the Skaptarjokul, or a little to the north of this great glacier. The centre of the erup tion was thus about 125 English miles from Reyk javik, and in a desert 60 or 70 miles from any in habited place. The sudden appearance of the eruption, the absence of any accompanying earth quake, the enormous breadth and height of the column of flame, which seemed to overtop the hills between it and the sea, the strange and disagree able odour which it spread over the whole of the island, and its short duration, make it one of the most extraordinary volcanic eruptions that have ever appeared in Iceland."—Scotsman.
