An interesting ceremony took place at Man chester on Wednesday, when Lord GRANVILLE laid the foundation -stone of a new institution for the educ.vion of nece sit , Jus children of warehousemen and c►erks. For some time past it has been univer sally acknowledged that such an institution was required, and, indeed, greatly to be desired, and so far back as 1854 a meeting was held concerning its establishment. It has been extended from time to time, and finally it was settled to erect the proposed building. The affair passed off very well, and a numerous company assembled to do honour to the procedigs. The secretary of the institution read an address to Lord GRANVILLE, which fully ex plained the purposes of the thing, and set forth the desirability of conducting the matter. Six children were elected in the October of 1851. The increas ing number of children admitted since then has rendered it advisable for the committee to have an institution of their own, and place the children more immediately under their control and supervision. Accordingly, in 1861 the premises now in use were taken, but the number of children presented to them for election continually increasing, and the very crowded state of the schools in 1861, rendered it desirable for them to appeal to the friends and sup porters of the institution for aid to erect schools that could contain at least one hundred children. Lord STANLEY presided over a public dinner in furtherance of this scheme, and.a sum of £4,000 was subscribed. Further on a bazaar was held, in the Free Trade Hall, at which a further sum of £l,OOO was received. Arrangements have been made on a large scale, and a suitable building is to be erected, of which the foundation-stone was laid on Wednesday. Some further sums will be required, but there is no doubt of their being obtained. Lord GRANVILLE made some suitable remarks as to the interesting nature of the occasion which brought them together, and made special reference to the speech of Lord STANLEY, whom they had bad the good fortune to select as their exponent— " one of the best business men of the country, and a countryman of their own." The noble lord had said that while there were objections to " eleemosy nary aid—nay, institutions—this ought, then, rather to serve as a stimulus to what might be called a high class of insurance very admiral* in itself." Lord GRANVILLE alluded to some circumstances which gave him great satisfaction, one being that they contrived to admic twenty-five percent. more children to the advantages of the institution, and the annual subscriptions have also greatly increased. Ife entirely agreed with his lordship that if the in stitution is to succeed, it must do so through the efforts of those will were interested " with the pos sible fate of their own children, and still more with the actual fate of a small percentage of their num ber." The education of the various classes of the community is a subject which has of late earnestly engaged the attention of many ; and Manchester deserves credit for the energetic manner in which it has taken up the matter in this instance. _ - Referring to this important question of educa tion, Lord GRANVILLE amused his hearers by saying that it would be very unbecoming for him, whom they had kindly asked to meet them that day, having lost his place, but he trusted not his character, to take advantage of his position by saying a word on party politics. All parties nowa days possess numerous educationists in their ranks. Without touching upon dangerous topics, the noble lord went on to mention that an act of Parliament had been passed which gave great extension of the suffrage to boroughs and counties in this country; but he added that he did not share the belief of those who feared the result of such political power being conferred. The good of the change would far outweigh the evil wrought by it ; and I one good which was already produced was th I way in which education was spoken of. This is very true, far on all sides, we fiad that it is consi dered advisable to extend the education of those admitted to the franchise. No one of expe rience or intelligence can deny the import. ance of doing this, and so fitting the classes upon whom the privilege is conferred more freely and completely for the responsible task which lies before them. Lord GRANVILLE put the case very fairly when he said that great improvements had been made during the last quarter of a century in the quality of the education afforded, but with re spect to the number of persons the matter was different. At present, unhappily, there are hun dreds of thousands who desire no benefits for these places of education. As one of the chief hindrances in the way of remedying this evil, Lord GRANVILLE thinks that the Conscience Clause should be extended to children, and expressed his-confident opinion that the present Government would not object to it ; and as they will have great advantages now in dealing with such matters, he was sanguine as to the results of the experiment. There is a great deal of force in the argumentof the noble lord, that those few who have scruples in the nntter will be more ready to make conc:ssions to the present Government than to the late one. The noble lord's speech was well calculated to ad vance the cause of education generally, as well as the prospects of the institution then immediately under consideration. Mr. BAYLEY, M.P., in a few appropriate remarks, called attention to the fact that the Emperor and Empress of the FRENCH had lately received several hundred schoolmasters at a levee ; and, after rejoicing that education was held in such high repute in France, he trusted that it I would not be long before the" same degree of honour I was paid to it in this country." Altogether the proceedings at Manchester were of the most inte resting kind, and worthy of the occasion. The proce2dings and exertions of the House of Commons, during the recent session, have been so amply discussed during the time of their labours that it seems at first sight that there is little left to talk about during the recess. Mr. GRAVES, M.P., howcvLr, in addressing the half-yearly meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, finds some thing to say. He looks upon the subject from a new light and, certainly, in one of our first com rcereial cities, the relations between commerce and the national representation form a very apppro priate topic. Mr. GRAVES thinks the commercial interests of the country are inadequately represented in the House of Commons. His experience in the House leads him, he says, to that conclusion, and if he looks to facts he finds the same result. " Within the last few years," said Mr. GRAVES, " ten or fifteen, we had almost doubled our exports and im ports. We were now approaching very close to 500 million per annum of both imports and exports, and he did feel that the extent of representation in the House of Commons which other classes and in terests enjoyed did not bear a just proportion to that possessed by the commercial interest, and he trusted that under the n nv constitution it would be materially strengthened." There is, t owever, a reason to be found for this in the engrossing nature of commercial pursuits. To succeed in com merce as in politics it is necessary to devote time and thought and energy to the cause, and the very men who might be best fitted to represent the in terests of their order are too busy in the pursuit of their vocation to turn their attention to politics. Mr. GRAVES, however, showed in his speech that commercial matters are not altogether overlooked in the House of Commons, fur, although he admitted that the past session had not been very fruitful of practical legislation, he alluded to one or two acts of great imkortance. One of these, the Companies Amendment Act, he declared, was nly second in importance to ti ie Reform Bill itself. Mr. GRAVES entered upon se veral points in this measure which be thought bigt dy advantageous, both to the public generally and %to the companies themselves. The condition of of r companies just now is not very flourishing, 1'42 t the painful experience gained by the credulous: and the speculative during the last two years will lead, we may hope, to more care and prudence in Cie administration of their affairs for the future. L Ir. GRAVES was especially pleased with the power conferred by the new Act on companies to make their managers and direc tors unlimited in their responsibility, since he thought its effect could not fail to produce greater care and discretion in the guidance of affairs. Without doubt many companies are at the present moment suffering from the effects of the panic created by last year's misfortunes, whereas a better and more e Actual system of registration would have enabled their shareholders to under stand their exact position and the extent of their liability, and they would not then be ready, as now, to abandon their shares at the first rumour of alarm. The question of Government telegraphic com munication was discussed by Mr. GRAVES at some length. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce lately presented a petition to Parliament, praying that Government would assume the charge of the whole telegraphic system of the country. Objections have been raised to this scheme,which Mr. GRAVES answered by pointing to the example of Belgium and Switzerland, in both of which countries the Government plan works ex tremely well At the same time we must remember that in all continental countries the Governments are in the habit of undertaking a great deal more than our own administration ever does. Englishmen have a wholesome horror of unnecesary official interference with private enterprise, and the open competition which they favour usually tends to the rapid de velopment and successful working of any branch of industry. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, however, who knows something of the matter, maintains that the telegraphic system of the coun try is not made so publicly useful as it might be. It is a subject that can be easily inquired into, and since the days of monopolies are coming to an end, the companies must either be stirred up to more vigorous action or compelled to abandon their claims. It is quite evident from Mr. GRAVES'S speech that although the great question of Parlia mentary Reform is settled there are plenty of reforms on a smaller scale to be carried out, even in the commercial world, and we hope he will find other M.P's. as energetic as himself about them. Since {sir. GRAVES belongs nominally to the Conser vative party it is encouraging to find him so liberal in his views. In referring to the reductions which he wished to see in the Customs duties, he quoted statistics to show how great were the benefits which had accrued from removing trade restrictions. It is hardly likely, nowadays, that a retrograde policy would be adopted, but it is always satisfactory to get a fresh adherent from another party. Among the necessary improvements Mr. GRAVES referred to the Merchant Shipping Act. Something has been done this year, but more is needed; and this is a subject upon which Liverpool is well qualified to judge, and in which Liverpool men are deeply concerned. The condition of our merchant seamen hitherto reflects little credit on either the authorities or the shipowners, but since it is never too late to mend, we must hope that, after the many painful revelations that have been made, all parties will address themselves next Session to do the work in earnest. CORRESPONDENCE FR9III PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) 'Thursday in foreignTh e e a v ff e a n i i r n s t il h f u o s n a it p P e p U A r r i :, c i t e t s 3 h weekly situation i o n review: Ev e ning . — " The intervie w at S a l z b urg, f ar f rom const i tu ti ng of for the Powers an object of attention or uneasiness, should be considered as a new guarantee given to the peace of Europe. The two Sovereigns, whose policy inspires only ideas of moderation, were happy to exchange proofs of the esteem and sym pathy which represents their personal dispositions, as well as the sentiments of their subjects. " The latest information which has reached the Spanish Government represents the insurrection as approaching its termination. The Captain General of the province of Catalonia has prolonged for three days the delay of 48 hours allowed to the rebels who desired to profit by the amnesty. Thanks to the fidelity of the army, the devotion of the civil authorities, and to the appreciation of their true in terests exhibited by the population, they seem to reckon at Aladrid upon the speedy and com plete repression of the insurrectionary move ment. The attention of the Government has been called to the insufficiency of the harvest. In order to remedy the evil the Queen has issued a decree, which for four months will permit the itn portation•of corn and flour into Spain by the ports of the Mediterranean on payment of a very small duty. The Italian Government continue to adopt the necessary measures to insure respect for the Con vention of the 15th of September. Troops are posted near the Pontifical frontiers. The territory is guarded between Gaete and Orbitello by ships of war. Perfect tranquillity is maintained in the Pontifical States." The Prussian Moniteur publishes an ordinance, dated August 22d, which establishes provincial States in the former kingdom of Hanover. Accord ing to this ordnance, the territory of the ancient kingdom of Hanover forms a provincial , union. This union enjoys Corp6ration rights. It is repre sented by provincial States, which will assemble in a Provincial Diet. This Diet is composed of three classes. 'The class of great landed proprietors and deputies of the equestrian orders. The Class of the cities compo3ed of depu ties from tho magistracy and the municipalities, and the order of the Commons composed of deputies from the Commons. Among other interesting incidents connected with the visit of the Emperor to Lille, it is related that when his Majesty left the great cotton spinning factory of Monlins, Lille, his carriage proceeded along the Boulevard d'ltalie, which was nearly de serted at the time. An old man, bent double with age, was walking by the side of the road. He was not aware that the Emperor was so near to him, and he proceeded onwards. But the Emperor bad noticed the medal of St. Helena upon his breast, and he ordered the carriage to be stopped and made a sign to the old man to come up to him. The old man could hardly believe his eyes. "It is my Ern_ peror," said he with tears of joy and with much emotion, for be recognised 11;s Majesty, having seen him the evening before, and he was plotting home wearily to his village, some leagues distant, well satisfied with his journey. The Emperor questioned him very kindly, and listened with greet attention to the enumeration of the many campaigns in which the old soldier had served, for he " had fought in famous battles." His Majesty did not fail to bestow a mark of his munificence upon the ancient warrior, a circumstance which, no doubt, enabled him to bear his 87 years with a lighter heart and less difficulty. On Monday the Prefect of the Seine at Oise in vited the members of the Council General of bis departnient to a grand dinner. At dessert, M. Baroche, Keeper of the Se tls, in proposing a toast to the Emperor, referred in eloquent terms to the many ameliorations effected during the Emperor's reign, and spoke of the " esientially pacific cha racter of his policy." "Be confident then, gentlemen; let us resolutely follow the Emperor who invites 113 to pursue the labours of peace ? the inexhaustible source of riches ani prosperity." M. Baroche then alluded to " our glorious Empress," so intimately associated with the noble ideas of the Emperor, and whose generous soul sympathised with all misfortunes, as well as it reached and animated all the great views which had for object the honour and prosperity of France. This speech was often intcrruped by fer vent applause, and the toast to the Emperor, Em press, and Imperial Prince, was drunk with un bounded applause. The Exhibition affords proof of the great and im portant works undertaken by the municipal admi nistration of Paris, with the view to bring to the city the excellent water of the river Dhuys. Near the Porte St. Dominique is a fountain supplied with this water, which many drink with much pleasure. It is peculiarly limpid and excellent in every respect. The source where the aqueduct commences, which brings this water to Paris, is in the commune of Parguay (Aisne). It is about 135 kilometres long, and traverses four departments. The reservoir is at Meuilmontant. The masonry and details of this aqueduct are admirable. It was commenced on the 20th of June, 1863, and on the 11th of September 1865 there was a plentiful supply of the water from the Dhuys in the reservoir at Meuilmontant. The telegrams drawn up by the Spanish Govern ment continue to announce the maintenance of tranquillity, the suppression of the insurrection, the loyalty of the troops, and all that ; but as it has not yet allowed either the Madrid or the Barcelona papers to be sent to France, we are in Paris unable to judge of the accuracy of the assertion that order is everywhere restored. Most of the Paris journals believe that the movement is an exceedingly grave one, and that the end is not yet. The Salzburg polemics are by no means exhausted. On the contrary, the reports and fabrications are still prolific. One writer goes so far as to say that England is likely to join the allianci between France and Austria. There is much irritation among the Prussian journalists. M. Bismarck's organ, the Gazette of Northern Germany, con tinues to assert that the interview between the two Emperors did not lead t 3 any important result or arrangement whatever. The German papers, on the contrary, will have it that the meeting had the object and intention cf holding out a threat against Germany ; and they threaten, by way of counterpoise, that Prussia will enter into a close alliance with Russia. There is a report that Bismarck meditates a sort of opposition to the Royal meeting at Salzburg, by arranging a meeting between the Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemburg and the Grand Dukes of Baden and Hesse Darmstadt. As to the Austrian papers they augur very pacific results from the meeting at Salzburg. Two more eminent members of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris have just died—Messrs. Guibourt and Behier. M. Behier died very suddenly. The Court of Assize of the Seine has just sen tenced a man named Francois Taysse to hard labour for life for the murder of an old gentleman named Poluche. The prisoner robbed him, murdered him, and set fire to his house, but the jury contrived to see " extenuating circumstances" in the case, so he escapes the guillotine. The literary world has been rather excited by an alleged discovery made by M. Philarete Charles of the Institute of some letters of Pascal, which would prove that Pascal was acquainted with the law of gravitation before Sir Isaac Newton. In short, that Pascal made all the great discoveries attributed to Newton. It is believed that these letters are forgeries. A married woman named Martha Tordo was executed on Monday at Tourette Leven, in the department of the Alpes Maritime, some ten or a dozen miles from Nice, for the murder of her father. She was perfectly calm and composed, and did not exhibit the, least fear. Unusual in the case of parri cides, the culprit was covered with a black veil, was en chemise, and barefooted. She kissed her hand and smiled at several acquaintances among the crowd a few seconds before the executioner per formed his fatal office. The Sun wntained the particulars of the murder at the time. I learn a fact from a private letter from Bayonne, which proves the savage feeling of the Government in regard to the insurrection. Thirty-seven peasants have been shot at Castella do la Plana. Their crime was this :—They went to the church, rang the bells, and cried " Viva la Libertad." They were unarmed, and yet they were executed as rebels. The cholera rages to a fearful extent at Rome. There were 70 deaths in one day. Among the victims are a sister of Cardinal Antonelli and a daughter of Prince Arsoli. The cholera at Rome seems to select the rich rather than the poor. 'THE SUN, LON.,ON, FRIDAY EVE'INING, AU - GUST 30 1867. IS LORD DERBY A TORY ? - --o TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—lt must be owned my grammar has been commencement along in my correspondence with you since the of the present year e x t reme l y para d o x-‘ topsy turvy. I ha ve gra d ua l ly ro ll e d began with th e f uture tense, t h en backwards,ica l i.e., descended, or rather ascended, to the preterite, and I am now going further back still into the indicative mood, all-importa n t question of at the beginning of last e p h n r y t tense. with I b mportant the " What Will Lord Derb y Do?" I foretold his Frreus February Reform Bill, and said there was no reason why we should not have a Reform Bill from a so-called Tory or Conservative Government. I showed historically what great reforms had been carried in days of yore by our present noble Premier. I asked three weeks ago in my last letter to you, at the close of the session, What Had Lord Derby Done ?" I will not weary you and your readers with going over again the arguments and remarks made by me to you in my letter of the 9th curt. I will merely add that what I then and there hoped might come to pass has come to pass, i.e., the Reform Bill of 1867 is now as much part and parcel of the law of the land as its illustrious ancestor, the great Reform Bill of 1832. I trust the question of Reform is again set at rest for many years, as it was after the memorable and hard-worked -for measure of 1832. Having, therefore, prognosticated what Lord Derby would do, and having in my letter to you of a few weeks ago shown what he had done, I no of come to the still more important inquiry, Is the Noble Earl a Tory ? Would he bring back the old state of representation which existed prior to 1832 ? Would he, if he were able, bring back rotten boroughs;- with a'l their horrors and evils? Would he refuse the Roman Catholic Re lief Act, bring back the criminal code of George restore the Test and Corporation Acts, re store fines and recoveries, exclude the half blood from succeeding to landed property, prevent lands from lenially ascending as they have done since 1834, restore the ten Irish bishoprics, which he laboured so effectually to abolish in 1833, and which, moreover, according to the Edinburgh Re view, was the corner stone of the Oxford and Trac tarian movement, which commenced first 34 years ago, as this it was which so alarmed the :„mind of John Henry Newman that he seriously com menced what has since been popularly called Puseyistn? Would he, if a m agic hand could re , store the state of things of 40 years ago, in 1827, 'towards the close of the so-called Georgian era, sympathise with Lords Eldon, Sidmouth, and Liverpool? In short, does the Lord Derby of 1867 entertain different opinions, and is he at all a dif ferent personage from the Mr. Stanley of 1827? Let us go a few years further back, to ablut 1824, and what do we find ? Lord Liverpool the head of a Tory Goverutrent, with the late Lord Pal merston Secretary at War in the same Administra tion ; our present Prime Min Liter, Lord Derby, then a member, and a most efficient member, too, of the existing Whig Opposition. Forty years afterwards we find Lord Palmerston, the War Secretary of that very Government, Prime Minis ter; and the Mr. Stanley of those days a member of the Whig (1 —Pposition, an earnest member of the Opposition. Parliamentary Reform was not considered necessary in 1864 any more than it had been in 1824 ; indeed in both the two last named years it was far more thought of by the Opposition than the Government. Never once has Lord Derby regretted or expressed against the Government of Lord Palmerston in. the least regret at anything he did in the days of his youth. I answer my question, then, with the assertion by stating that Lord Derby is not a Tory, but au old Whig. Yes, a genuine old Whig of the Grey, Lansdowne, Brougham, Denman, Althorp, and Russell school—one of the very few remnants of that old time-worn Whiggery which carried us through the gigantic struggle of 1831 and 1832. The only individuals now living who were efficient members of the Government which carried the Reform Bill are first and foremost our present Premier ; Lord Russell, Lord Grey (then Lord Howick), and last, not least, the venerable Lord Brougham, now in the 90th year of his age— a shadow, but not a substance of the fanous Henry Brougham of other days and olden tin - p.. Yes, Lord Brougham is a shadow in every sense of the word of what he was—as Mr. Henry Brougham, counsellor to Queen Caroline in 1820, or as Lord Chancellor Brougham of 1831 and 1832. With the exception of those four noblemen just named, I am much mistaken if every other member of the old Reform Government of 1832 is not dead. They may in good truth be called the ghost of the departed Grey Administration ; but the most sub stantial ghost of all, to my mind, is our present Prime Minister. 11e more thoroughly represents the principles of that ministry than any other man now living. It has been the fashion in many quarters and circles to call Lord Derby a turncoat and a renegade ; that this charge is nothing but an assumption and an assertion it is not difficult to prove. Lord Russell in divers ways has more than de parted from the views held by him in tho good old days of 1831 and 1832. As regards Lord Brougham, he has long, long since departed from political life. True, indeed, it is that he has until quite recently mixed and taken a deep interest in all matters con nected with, alai having for their object the pro motion of, social science and law amendment ; but as far as mere political life proper is concerned, he cannot be said to have moved in it for the last 20 years. Lord Grey, too, entertains very different opinions to those hell by his late father in 1831 and 1832. We have indeed wandered far from the sentiments that guided us in those days, for " the fashion of this world passeth away ;" but, as I said before, the best representative and executor of those days is all to nothing our present noble Prime Minister, who now in 1867, as in 1832, has carried a good, rich, useful, and substantial measure of Reform. More indeed is it than the so-called Liberal party ever could or would have carried. Again, and for the last time, do I say that it is a most undoubted fact that no measure of Parliamen tary Reform has ever arrived at maturity unless our present most illustrious chief has happened to be a member of the Government. As regards the abor tive measure of Reform brought in by the defunct Government a year and a half ago, it was something like that of a gamester, who when he throws for his last stake a smile will often sit on his counte nance, while all the demons of wretchedness and deipair are preying on his worn-out features ; and this Topius was a fair representation of the late Government ;dm they brought in their Reform Bill in 1866. I end, therefore, as I began, by saying that Lord Derby is no Tory at all, but a genuine old Whig ; and with our Chancellor of the Exchequer do I say, let us be thankful we have got rid of our Liberal monop'ly.—l remain, Sir, your faithful servant, A LOVER AND OBSERVER OF HISTORICAL DATES AND F ACTS. Grand Lifeboat Demonstration at Falmouth. Yesterday was a grand day at Falmouth, the occasion being the inauguration of the splendid new lifeboat presented to the town, through the National Lifeboat institution, by the city of Gloucester. The lifeboat was taken through the town in procession, and then publicly launched in the docks. The pro cession was formed on the Moor, and proceeded through several of the principal streets to Penrhyn, returning to Falmouth Dock, where the boat was received by the president and vice-presidents of the local lifeboat committee. She was then launched, and put through various evolutions, including cap sizing, under the suß.:rintendence of Capt. Ward R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the Nation al Lifeboat Ins:itution. The procession comprised the local rifle volunteer corps, with their bands, the militia staff and band, coastguard men, sailors, marines, members of the Orders of Freemasons, Foresters, and Odd Fellows, and their bands, the mayor and corporation of Falmouth, the local lifeboat com mittee, a deputation from Gloucester, members of the Chamber of Commerce, &c. The lifeboat,which was mounted on her transporting carriage, was fully manned and equipped, and was drawn by twelve fine horses. Previous to the launch, the Mayor of Falmouth, in a very appropriate speech, addressed the spectators, and said that it had afforded him peculiar satisfaction to assist on that auspicious oc casion. There was no institution throughout the length and breadth of the land of a more practical character than the National Lifeboat Institution. (Cheers.) But as he was to be followed by a gentle man who had for many years past devoted his tAlents and untiring energy to the promotion of the lifeboat cause, he would not detain the assembly any longer, but would at once call on Mr. Richard Lewis, secretary of the institution, to address them. Mr. LEWIS said—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentle men,—lt is indeel peculiarly gratifying and encou raging to be present in this old town of Falmouth on this joyous occasion, when you are formally inau gurating your splendid lifeboat. (Cheers.) The people of the city and county of Gloucester have nobly done their duty by the lifeboat cause, and to-day you have likewise done your part in a gene rous spirit. (Hear, hear.) The combined result is what we have just seen—one of the most complete lifeboat establishments on the coast. Let no one say after the shipping disasters of last winter in this neighbourhood that a lifeboat is not wanted at Falmouth. Many are to-day the widows and orphans of the poor fellows who perished on those days, who cease not to wish that the Gloucester lifeboat had been here on that calamitous occasion. As far as the lifeboat itself is concerned, you will, I doubt not, hereafter be much pleased with her qualities, and, like the mayor, I believe bhe will never lack willing hands to go afloat in her in the stormiest weather. (Hear, hear.) Indeed Cornish sailors and fishermen have stood forth conspicuously in manning these lifeboats. In times of yore they were notorious as wreckers ; but in the present day their character is quite changed, and no storms ever appear to appal them, and the con sequence has been that some of the noblest life boat services have been performed on your rugged coast. (hear, hear.) Yes, more than that, as Sir Stafford Northcote said at our annual meeting the other day, when his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales presided over it, the noble fellows have not only been always ready, under the most desperate circumstances, in their lifeboat to succour ship wrecked sailors, but they have on one or two occa sions saerified their own lives in the performance of their philanthropic duty. (Cheers.) Again, the lifeboat cause receives a larger amount of support in Cornwall and Devon than in any other two counties. And really this support is not limited to any parti cular class, but comes alike from the very highest as well as from the humblest of the population. (Cheers.) his Royal Highness the Duke of Corn wall and the Duchess are staunch and liberal sup porters of the institution. (Cheers.) Jler Majesty the Queen has also for many years given her £5O annually to the society. (Cheers.) Again, some of the principal landowners have also been generous supporters of the institution. Amongst the fore most of them is Mr. Agar Robartes, M.P. From a letter I received from him a few weeks since, it is quite clear that no benevolent work in Cornwall had given him greater satisfaction than the help he had so bountifully extended to the lifeboat cause. He was its friend from the beginning, and he has continued ever since to be one of its most liberal supporters. The lifeboat that is about to be stationed at Mullion, in memory of the late Rev. Daniel J. Draper, who unhappily perished from the steamship London, has been principally contributed by the Wesley-an Methodists of Corn wall. (Cheers.) Thus then the Cornish people in this, as in every other good cause, have nobly done their part. (Cheers.) The commodious and con venient boat-house, the cost of which has been raised in Falmouth and its neighbourhood, also testifies that you mean not to be one whit behind other places in supporting your lifeboat establishment. (Cheers.) And here I am induced to make one or two remarks on your wonderful harbour. I am in clined to believe that if you were to put forth a united and vigorous effort, like what I have seen in your hearty welcome to the boat of mercy to-day, the dawn of returning prosperity to the old town would not be far distant. (Hear.) As men of ex perience, integrity, and perseverance, you will yield to no other portion of the community, and a united action in this, as in every other successful enterprise, is principally and alone needed to insure success, for the shipping facilities of Falmouth are undoubt edly unrivalled by any other port. (Cheers.) Surely it ought to command a very large proportion of the enormous shipping of our country. It is calculated that upwards of 400,000 vessels enter inwards and clear outwards from our ports every year, and that they represent 70 millions of tons, and, including their cargoes, about £600,000,000 of money. It is on occasions when some of these. 400,000 vessels get into danger that our life boats and others are called into requisition, and perform noble deeds, which we hear of almost every day, during the winter months. The operations of the National Lifeboat Institution embrace the whole coast of the United Kingdom, and when you are informed that our seaboard is 5,000 miles in length, you can easily comprehend how extensive and im portant those operations are. (Hear, hear.) These 400,000 vessels are manned probably by nearly two millions and a half of men and boys. Amongst such an enormous mass of shipping it is only to be expected during storms that the casualties should be very large. During the past year the shipwrecks on the coast and in the seas of the British isles numbered 2,012, and happily on account of the ser vices of these lifeboats, only 698 sailors, out of about 6,000 men of the greatest value to the com merce of our country, and in films of war its prin cipal defenders, were lost. Still that is a large number, and this contribution of the Gloucester lifeboat to-day will, I trust, diminish even that number. (Hear, hear.) When a shipwreck takes place, which is, of course, mostly in stormy weather, that is the time when the lifeboat is called into requisition. As soon as the sig nal of distress is made, the crews of our lifeboats aro ever ready to man them, either in the night or in the day, no matter how strong the gale may be. On such occasions the crews who man the lifeboats never falter for a moment ; indeed, the great difficulty is to keep the men out of the boat when she is required, and the British tar now displays as much bravery in saving life on our coasts as he used to do in former times in defending the honour and interests of our country. (Hear, hear.) Now, it would be cruel to call on these men to sacrifice their health, to sacrifice their clothing, and sacrifice, perhaps, everything that is dear to them, without some acknowledgment for their noble deeds. The Royal Lifeboat Society pays each man, when he goes afloat in the daytime, 10s., and each man for night service, 20s. ; so that when a lifeboat goes to sea it costs the institution about £lO or £l2 in the day, and £l4 or £l6 in the night. Again, in order to practise the men in the management of their craft, they are required to go afloat in the lifeboat once in every quarter throughout the year, when they are paid 5s each man in rough weather, and 3s. each if it be calm weather. I should ob serve, in Negard to these payments, that they give the utmost satisfaction to the men. They know very well what they are to expect ; we never receive any complaint from them ; and they know that when they have to perform services attended with more than ordinary peril, their payments will be doubled. But I should like to impress upon you that the crews are seldom actuated by mercenary or pecuniary considerations, they are generally impelled by a much higher and nobler feel ing. (Loud cheers.) The lifeboats of the insti tution have been manned during the past five years by about 30,000 persons, and yet only 11 lives were lost—a most remarkable illustration, under the providence of God, of the safety of the lifeboat, and of the admirable provision made by the institution for the security of the brave men who are ever ready to man its boats. (Loud cheers.) The first expense of a lifeboat station averages about £6OO, and after the station is complete it is necessary to keep it in a state of efficiency ; because if a lifeboat is not kept up well, it often becomes a death-boat. (Hear, hear.) For the future main tenance of a lifeboat station, therefore, the sum of £5O a year is required, and I have no doubt, in con junction with yourselves, Gloucester will not forget the future support of its lifeboat. Happily money is never wanting ; all classes, from the highest to the lowest, as I have just said, liberally support the National Lifeboat Institution. Foremost amongst the supporters of the institution have been the ladies. They have given it altogether 42 lifeboats ; some have been presented as memorial boats, others from a desire to help forward the work of the insti tution. We have also received 27 lifeboats from different towns and counties, and this is the second boat the county of Gloucester has given to the in stitution, the previous one having come from Chel tenham. I am one of those who have no mis giving as to the future success of the institution, provided its operations are con ducted above-board and on the sound principles which have hitherto guided its councils. (Cheers.) The institution has 181 lifeboat establishments on the coasts of the United Kingdom, and it has ex pended on them about £lBO,OOO. Again it has p a id in rewards for saving 16,500 lives over £25,000, in addition to 858 gold and silver medals. Some of the noblest services performed by lifeboats have been done on the coasts of Cornwall and Devon, where the great Atlantic wave is felt perhaps more severely than on any other part of the coast of the British Isles. We all remember the noble services which the Penzance and other life boats performed last winter. (Cheers.) But perhaps Cornish men never performed a nobler deed than that rendered the winter before last by the lifeboat at St. Ives. She capsized twice, but the St. Ives men were determined to perish themselves rather than the Frenchmen who were shipwrecked should be lost. (Cheers.) That deed excited not only the ad miration of the residents of the two counties, but also of all the country. Indeed, it was so daring and so persevering that the Emperor of the French con ferred an unusual mark of honour on the men of the lifeboat crew, by sending the coxswain a gold medal, and a silver medal to each of the others. It is gratifying to know that foreigners who are shipwrecked on our coast know that great and successful efforts will be made to save their lives ; and they cease not when they return to their own country to express their gratitude for the help rendered to them by England's lifeboats. Indeed the name of the institution has become almost a household world throughout the maritime countries of the world, and in recognition of its great services to shipwrecked sailors of all nations the Inter national Exhibition of Paris has just presented to it one of the three magnificent gold medals that have come to England as grand prizes. I had the honour myself to receive it from the hands of the Emperor of the French, and no one has been more pleased with this tribute to the institution than his Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall, who was present on the occasion. Such, then, is the hold the institution has upon the public—not only the public of England, but throughout the civilised world ; for contributions come to it from all parts of the globe. (Hear.) Now, in addition to the services of a secretary, we also engage the services of two captains of the royal navy, one of whom is my excellent friend, Captain Ward, inspector of lifeboats, who is here to-day rendering considerable assistance, and whose zeal in this good cause is un paralleled in the history of the benevolent institu tions of this country. (Cheers.) With regard to the affairs of the institution, they are conducted on the strictest principles of economy and disinterested assiduity. I suppose there is not an institution in London that has abler men on its committee of management. The Duke of Northumberland is its president, and amongst those of its committee may be mentioned Mr. Thos. Baring, M.P., uncle of your late respected representative ; Mr. T. Chap man, Sir Edward Perrott, Mr. W. H. Harton, and others, who are devoting so large a portion of their valuable time to the affairs of the society. (Hear.) Mr. LEWIS afterwards cordially thanked the Mayor of Falmouth and other gentlemen, and the several railway companies, who kindly gave the lifeboat a free conveyance to her station. Other gentlemen having afterwards addressed the meeting, the proceedings, which were of a WI interesting character, closed. In the evening a public banquet took place at the Falmouth Hotel, over which the Mayor presided. LATEST INT.EiLLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

President Johnson has transferred General Sheri dan to the command of the Department of Missouri. General Thomas is to ccmmand the Fifth Military District, and General llancock the Department of Cumberland, vice General Thomas. General Grant has transmitted President John son's order to General Thomas, with additional instructions, requiring him to execute all orders now in force in the Fifth District, unless authorised by the General-in-Chief to modify or annul the same. General Sheridan is to report himself in Wash" ington previous to assuming the command in souri. It is reported that General Grant has proteste d against the removal of General Sheridan, on the ground of it being contrary to the wishes of the people. President Johnson, in reply, said he ac" uowledge d the brilliant military services of Sheri dan, but he lacked the judgment and moderation possessed by General Thomas. At a subsequent in' terview the President and General Grant are sa id to have harmonised on the subject. It is reported that General Sickles will soon b e removed for disregarding the President's orders n eS to interfere with the Federal Courts.
