LONDON, 310NDAY, JUNE 24, 1867. The revelations before the Sheffield Trades Union Commission only increase in horror as they, go on, and every fresh day's work tends to confirm and to deepen the impression excited by the earlier evidence. During the first several days of the sitting it was quite evident that there was a great deal more to be told if the witnesses would tell it, and there was an intangible obstacle in the way which all the ingenuity of the Commissioners seem unable to get over. Happily, however, in the interests of the public right and justice by degrees the aspect of affairs is altogether altered. One or two little incidents broke the spell, and then a chain of evidence was gradually brought to light link by li n k. The contradictory statements, the denials, the evasions, and other artifices were wearisome and aggravating in the extreme. A man made a statement one day only to deny it the next, and so conveniently short were the memories of most of the witnesses, so great their uncertainty and con fusion, so great their ignorance, real or pretended, that it was very difficult to get them to commit themselves. They seemed to have been well primed, and knew what dangers to avoid. But at length a point was gained, and a confes sion was elicited; although the man who made it retracted it afterwards—that very r etrac tation was the means of eliciting the truth.. His incautious exclamation, "Ah it wur ant: t all !" when his own description of the cold night work was read out to him, bore too clear the trace of truth to be parsed over by the Commissioners. A few days committal for contempt of Court brought him to reason. He had plenty of time to, think over his position away from the influence 'of his leaders, and on his reappearance in Court lie was ready with his tale. So startling were Vac facts he brought forward that the examiners themselves were surpi ised, and their subsequent inquiries leave no doubt that there exists among the Unionists of Sheffield an organised system of assassination and outrage, which men holding a respectable position in life have secretly connived at, if not openly en couraged. It is difficult for men beyond the fatal influence of the trades theory to understand how others can be so blinded to all sense of right and wrong, so insensible to the dictates of common hu manity. In every society which pretends to civilisation a murderer is looked upon with horror and aversion, and every law avenges the wrong. But if there is one form of murder universally admitted to be worse than another it is that of secret and deliberate assassination. The unpremeditated blow or thrust, the fatal altercation, even the robbery which ends in murder, fall into the shade beside of the conspi rators who follow a man about his daily work or his evening sauntering, week after week, until at last the shot is fired, and the mur derer goes and gets the money he has earned. "A hired assassin" used to be the lowest term of contempt and reproach, but in Sheffield the code of morality is differently understood. All the crimes and all the virtues are there divided into two—the crimes come under the head of infringing the trades' union regulations—the virtues under the head of implicit fidelity to the trade. The offences that usually disturb a man's conscience, murder, arson,and perjury, are as feathers in the balance. They are committed, we are told, " with great pain," or they are " objected to," but they are nothing very wonderful. A charge of gunpowder is put down a chimney, a fellow-workman is struck down at his work, or shot in the public streets. If there is a fatal termination the usual inquiry takes place, the culprit is undiscover able, an open verdict is returned, and the Sheffield world goes on the same as usual. General astonish ment was excited in the Court on Saturday, though the audience are by this time pretty well used to surprises, by the appearance of GEORGE PEACE, a well-dressed and apparently respectable man, a saw grinder, who was formerly a farmer and the owner of a colliery. This man admitted employing one of his own " hands " to " frighten" PARKER and to shoot LINLEY. No wonder Mr. OVEREND summed up the result of his evidence in a few indignant words—" Do you say that a man in your station of life—the overseer of a colliery and a farmer—hired one of your men to do that deed, and that you paid him a sum of money for shooting a neighbour with whom you had no quarrel ?—is that the state of things at Dore—is that what you did ?" And the answer is characteristic—" Yes ; it was a state of things I objected to, and it was six months before I would have anything to do with it." The evidence of SAMUEL CROOKES, which occu pied the principal part of Saturday's proceedings, confirmed the statements of Broadhead. The witnesses are now as anxious to tell the whole as they were previously careful to withhold as much as possible, not from any scruples of conscience— that commodity is unknown among them—but from a selfish fear that something they have not told may subsequently be discovered, and that they may be punished after all. CROOKES was eager to tell about a case of " blowing up" more than ten years ago. When told it was unnecessary to go into it, he asked, " But have I not to come out with every thing whether it is ten years or twenty, for if they should come out afterwards I should not get my certificate ?" The principal items of this worthy's career during the ten years come to a pretty formidable list for a man who has contrived to keep out of the felon's dock all through it. He asks to have them read over, as he may have for gotten something, and Mr. OVEREND reads—" You shot LINLEY twice. Blew up WHEATMAN and SMITH, BAXTER, JOSEPH WILSON, REANEY'S wheel, and JOSEPH HELLEWELL, at Blonk Wheel. There was the case of JOHN HELLEWELL you were to shoot." This is one man's share of the infamous work during a comparatively ' limited period. It shows us how much the best system of police depends for assistance on the public, since CROOKES committed all these crimes with impunity, so far as the law was concerned. The worst of it is that we cannot set down one or two men, SHAW, CROOKES, or BROADHEAD, as ex ceptional monsters, like those ruffians who, after a few days notoriety, meet their fate on the gallows. There are hundreds of men belonging to this very union, living in the same town, who knew as much as they chose to know. Why did they keep men idle on the books for years without asking what they were paid for ? Why did they carefully refrain from inquiring too closely into the evident falsification of the accounts? Why did they not notice that the extraordinary accidents that kept occurring in Sheffield and its vicinity always befcl men who had broken the rules ? We should be slow to set down all the saw grinders of Sheffield as deliberate abettors of murder and arson, but we must believe that fear kept them silent. The great body of them knew the dangerous and unscrupulous men with whom they had to deal, they dared not offend them by refusing to countenance their crimes. And this is the protection of the rights of working men. This is the combination which gives strength to the workmen and stability to the trade. We need no longer wonder at the stream of emigration that flows from our ports, and when we hear of working men starting for a land of liberty, where they can prosper unfettered by social tyranny, we shall know henceforward it is not the tyranny of the masters they fear, but the oppression of their fellow-work- I men. On Saturday a grand banquet took place at the Trinity House, and a brilliant company assembled to do honour to the occasion. The Duke of EDIN BURGH, the present Master, was absent, his Royal Highness having been elected to that office on the death of Lord PALMERSTON. The Deputy-Master, Capt. Arrow, presided in a very successful manner. In proposing the health of the Master, he mentioned that he hid seen his Royal Highness a few days ago, and he found him the captain of his own ship and attending to his duties ; he had heard also that he had proved himself to be a sailor as well as a Royal Duke. The corporation of Trinity House do not profess to be of any politics, but during their long career they have entertained statesmen of every party with sincere goodwill, and on this last occa sion her MAJESTY'S Ministers were duly honoured, the Chancellor of the Exchequer obta'ning a very flattering reception. The right hon. gentleman alluded to the manner in which the toast had been received, declaring that he considered it to be more THE SUN, LOSDOS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1867 gratifying on account of the absence of party feeling, it having been understood that no appeal was made to that sentiment, but, on the contrary, that they testified the respect and good feeling of the com munity towards those who endeavoured to do their duty to their Sovereign and their country accord ing to the best of their abilities. We can well be lieve that Mr. DISRAELI spoke the simple truth without exaggeration or reserve, when he asserted that this sort of testimonial was far more flattering and gratifying to them than if they had met to cele brate a " triumph of party," or enunciation of any particular set of opinions. Mr. DISRAELI himself is not at all a party man in the prejudiced accepta tion of the term ; he takes too comprehensive a view of the state of affairs, and looks too much ahead to keep within the narrow limits that bounds the thoughts of mere partisan politicians; but at the same time any statesman of eminence must often turn from his immediate surroundings to con template the position he holds with respect to the great body of the people. As the right honourable gentleman forcibly put it to the assembly, " After all, it is in the respect of all well-considering fellow subjects that we must receive our best reward for any exertions we can possibly make ; and it is to the calm verdict of the unimpassioned portion of the nation that we must appeal for our justification." Real popularity does not depend upon the posses sion of a majority in the House of Commons, or in the construction of a strong Cabinet, or even a talented one. It consists more in the general appre ciation of the efforts of the Administration, and in the conviction that sinks into the mind of the com munity with respect to the course pursued by those in authority; and in this respect the present Admini stration have made great strides during their tenure of office, for people are getting tired of the exclusive line adopted by certain parties, who seek to mono polise all public questions of interest and importance to themselves, and yet do nothing when they have opportunity given to them for action. This year has shown that far more may be gained from a Conservative Government, really roused to exertions from a sense of the great responsibities devolving upon it, and the significance of the political situation, than from soi-disant Liberals, whose great forte is in talking, but who seldom put their precepts into practice. No one who knows anything of public affairs will deny the truth of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's assertion that the present Government succeeded to office under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, and indeed that difficulty has increased rather than diminished during the months that have rolled on since their taking the burden of office upon them. Foreign affairs have occasioned great anxiety of late, and it is indeed a source of satisfaction to every one that Lord STANLEY should have achieved such a striking success in the management of the Confer ence. As Mr. DISRAELI said, he was " echoing not only the universal opinion of all Englishmen, but of the subjects of all countries, that his noble friend, by his prudent and sagacious management of affairs, had secured the peace of Europe." Referring to home politics, the right hon. gentle man said he would not touch upon any controversial points, but the Deputy Master had alluded to his exertions during the session which had been made when quoting the words of the song last sung-- " The stormy winds do blow." Respecting the great measure of this year, Mr DISRAELI said that he would say for the policy of Her MAJESTY'S Government that with reference to Foreign affairs they sought to secure the peace of Europe, and with domestic affairs to secure the peace of England. Lord STANLEY made a short speech upon British ships and British sea men, declaring that they had managed from the earliest days to the present to hold their own perfectly well, " both in the way of navi gating and the way of fighting, and we don't seem to see the time when they will cease to hold their own." Coupled with this toast was the name of Dr. LUSHINGTON, to whom the noble lord paid a high tribute, declaring that all would share in the general regret when he retired from his present position of Judge of the Court of Admiralty. The Duke of RICHMOND made an entertaining speech in returning thanks for the commercial and mari time interests of the country. He said that he had been so much more accustomed to plough the land than the sea that his present position at the Board of Trade was rather strange. Referring to the Constitution of the country, he said that it seemed to him that it was like one of their old wooden ships; " she had been taken into dock, and was being thoroughly overhauled, under the aupices of that very eminent shipwright the Chancellor of the Ex.lhequer, but she would soon be fairly afloat again, and they need not apprehend any danger." Mr. CORRY also delivered a speech of great interest, and he expressed his high sense of the great services which the Brethren of the Trinity house had rendered to the nary, and to the maritime interests of England and the world. The elder brethren in particular had conferred im portant benefit by the efficiency of the navigating officers. 'With respect to matters relating to his own department, Mr. CORRY said that the nu merical superiority of the fighting vessels had been diminished by the substitution of armour-clad ships for wooden ones, but he was happy to say that there was no navy in which " the same number of ships represents a force equal to the ironclad fleet of England." We fully agree with Mr. CORRY in his opinion of the naval reserve, and as he says he would meet any emergency very differently if he had that naval reserve under his lee than if he had to go into the market with bounties in his pocket, and to send press-pangs into the streets." Altogether this last entertain ment at the Trinity House was a very satisfactory and successful one, and an additional interest must always attach itself to an affair of this sort, where, beyond the immediate amusement of the hour, there is a historical association im parted has edt h to the proceedings held d eec s l i i h n c g e h s t ;f e im o t rth e is o a f n n t i h v e er ß sa e ry s t ofrea s- ti tion , the and p thus rem gloriespromise eofthe f o u f t t u h r e e. past seem to blend with A3l ATEUR THEATRICALS.—On Friday evening the London Rifle Brigade Amateur Dramatic Club gave their first public performance at St. George's Hall, Langham place. The entertainment, which was under the most dis tinguished patronage, consisted of Sheridan's comedy of "The Rivals," a selection from Knowles's play of "The Wife," and the farce of "The Rifle, and How to Uso In the comedy Sir Anthony Absolute found an excellent representative in Ensign Rush; and Corporal Meadows, as Bob Acres, supported the part with all the humour and self-possession of a professional. Mrs. Malaprop, Lydia Languish, and Julia were represented by Mrs. Newberry, Miss Eburn, and Mies Bufton very excellently. In the selection from "The Wife," Private Blagrove, as Julian St. Pierre, gave a very forcible and talented embodiment to the part—a circumstance demanding great praise, con sidering the difficulties that present themselves to an ama teur in this particular character. The farce brought out the capabilities of Privates Hall, Blink, Leete, and Palmer, and merrily concluded a very creditable evening's enter tainment. At the Newington Sessions, on Wednesday, 50 tradesmen were fined for having in their possession un just weights, scales, or measures. The list comprised 12 licensed victuallers and beer retailers, 4 butchers, 1 eat ing-house keeper, 6 bakers, 11 chandlers, 5 grocers and cheesemongers, 6 coal dealers, 2 greegrocers, 1 plumber, and 2 marine store dealers. The fines amounted to £76 10s.—South London , Press. OM PA,III/3. CORRESPO: (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Empress was present at the Cabinet Council held yesterday at the Tuileries, at which, as usual, the Emperor presided. The Moniteui contains some interesting items of news. It states that Abdul-Aziz, the Sultan of Turkey, left Constantinople on Friday afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, on board the Sultanie, for France. His Highness will arrive at Naples on Wednesday morning, from whence he will proceed o Toulon, along the coast of Italy, without stopping. The Sultauie is escorted by two iron clad frigates and a steam corvette, belonging to the Ottoman navy. The aviso Forbin, belonging to the Imperial French Marine, on board of which is ,he French Ambassador to the Sublime Porte, will accompany the squadron. The Diplomatic Body and the Ministers of the Sultan were received by his Majesty on the previous evening, to offer their homage, and take leave of him on his departure for France. In the absence of the Sultan the regency of the Empire of Turkey is confided to the Grand Vizer, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Saa- 'et Pacha. M. Benedetti, the Ambassador of the Emperor at he Court of Prussia, who came to Paris during the stay of the King of Prussia in this capital, halt left for Berlin to resume his functions. The Minister of Justice of Austria has communi- cated to the Austrian Chamber of Deputies an Im perial order, dated June 20, which grants a com plete amnesty to all the persons condemned for political offences since the 13th of March, 1848. By the terms of this order all the employes who for that period till the 15th of December, 1866, the date of the previous imperial amnesty, evaded prosecution by voluntary exile, receive permission to return freely to their homes, and will not be sub- -- . - jected to any legal proceeding whatever. An imperial ukase has been published at Warsaw ordering the suspension of the confiscations directed against the persons who took part in the insurrec tion in all cases where the articles confiscated have not been already registered as State property. Another ukase orders inquiries to be made with a view to assist those functionaries in the kingdom whom the recent changes in the administration have reduced to misery. The telegraph brings to Paris news from Mexico, important if true. According to this account the celebrated General Santa Anna, who so long domi nated over Mexico, had for some months been pre paring an expedition, the object of which was again to obtain sway over that country. He is said to have effected a landing, but his expedition was imme diately defeated, and he was at once made prisoner by Juarez. Of course this news is to be received with reserve, particularly as of late startling accounts are frequently published in regard to Mexico which turn out to be entirely devoid of foundation. On Saturday the Legislative Body voted by 228 against 13 the supplementary credits of 1866. The Chamber then adjourned till Tuesday. My infor mation as to a supplemental session is confirmed. The Legislative Body, by a vote of 210 against 34, having decided that the discussion on the projects of law relative to the army, the press, and public meetings should be postponed until the debate on the Budget of 1868, which is to commence on Wed nesday next, had been disposed of, M. Rouher, the Minister, said this delay would necessitate a short . extra session, which would be convoked in the early part of November. The three important subjects were then to be discussed carefully to the exclusion of any other topic. M. Thier4 spoke in favour of the postponement, but voted against it. The Court of Cassation has rejected the appeal of M. Emile de Girardin against the sentence of the inferior court., which condemns him to pay a fine of 5,000 f. for having iu his newspaper inserted an article tending to excite hatred and contempt of the Government. This newspaper is called La Liberte. " What's in a name." The writers in it have dis tinguished themselves by their virulent, but hap pily impotent, attempts to endanger that sacred cause. Paris has been in a state of excitement to-day, the event of the great balloon, the Geant, from the esplanade of the Invalides,having been announced. Green's monster balloon, Nassau, as it was called, which went from London to Weilburg, Germany, in 1837, contained only 2,500 cubic metres of gas. 7,000 that it can ascend metres of silk, at Nadar's balloon has a ca p acit y for no :no less than i 6,498 cubic metres o f g as. It san expensi ve a ff a i r , being 7 ifr . composed of per metre. Its calculatednearly with a total weight o f 9,8001b5 . The total height of the Geant, with t he car, is 45 metres, or about two-thirds of the he i g ht of t he tower of Notre Dame. The object of it is scientific, being to ad- ad vance what is called aerostatic photography, that is to say, to photograph buildings and objects upon the earth. The car has two storeys. It contains various instruments, an . d also th ree b e d s. Th e weight of the car and its contents is estimated at about 2,4001b5. The Geant had previously made five ascents. e, n a n ri now engaged, to the Imperial engaged, under the direction Many workmen of Commission, in arrang in g a nd decorating the in terior of the Palace o f Ind ustry, in the Champs A ldr o are p Elyseeg, for the grand ceremony of awarding the prizes to the successful exhibitors. Seats will be erected for 16,000 persons, the officials and the public. The grand hall will be beautifully orna mented with velvet, bordered with gold lace. An immense platform is to be reserved for the orchestra. The band will consist of more than 600. There will be splendid organs at the back of the orchestra. Various ornaments will be lent for the occasion by the Crown. Outside elegant tents will be erected. A musical composition, at which Rossini is at work, will be played, and the concert altogether will be of first -rate order. M. Wolowski, a member of the Institute, a day or two ago, gave a lecture to the convalescent work men of the Imperial Asylum of Vincennes upon the subject of the Exhibition. M. Bosvedon, Secretary-General of the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Denegvol, the Director of the Asylum, did the honours to the many foreign delegates who were present, who expressed their admiration at the object and arrangements of the asylum. M. Wolowski gave an eloquent sketch of the great industrial competition which had drawn people to Paris from all parts of the globe, and remarked upon the interest at once popular and scientific of the marvellous assemblage of the works of intelli gence, which he said would serve as the history of labour and civilisation. The lecture excited great interest, and M. Wolowski was often warmly ap plauded. The Juries have finished their labours and have decided upon the prizes, but the list of successful competitors is not yet printed. In spite of the departure of the sovereigns, and notwithstanding adverse weather, the attendance at the Exhibition is very numerous, an average of 50,000 a day. The attractions are always on the increase. Go when you will, you are sure to find something marvellous and interesting not observed on your previous visit. The Czas, a paper of some authority published at Cracow, states that the Pope in a secret Consistory, which will take place after the public Consistory on the 25th of June, will announce to the Bishops now assembled at Mule the realisation of the union, so l o ng attempted in va i n , of the Roman Catholic Church with the Greek Catholic Church. The weather has improved a little. Yesterday it was unusually cold for the season, and early this morning there was a cold wind, but this afternoon the sun reappeared and it was bright and agreeable. The Empress and the Imperial Prince will leave Paris in a few days for Biarritz. The Emperor, I believe, intends to go to the Camp at Chalons before his visit to Biarritz. M. Rattazzi, Victor Emmanuel's Prime Minister, is expected at Paris to see the Exhibition, and per haps to talk about politics with the Marquis de Monstier.

BO - GRAND BANQUET AT THE TRINITY "LOUSE. On Saturday evening the Corporation of Trinity House entertained a distinguished company at din ner at their hall on Tower-hill. _ _ _ Captain ARROW, the deputy master, presided, and the guests numbered upwards of 80. Mr. Com', who returned thanks for " The Navy," was received with great applause, and said—As re presenting the navy In an official capacity, I am anxious to record the deep sense I entertain of the services rendered by the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House to the navy and maritime interests of England and of the world. (Cheers.) There is hardly any question in which the Trinity House is concerned in which the navy has not a common in terest—(cheers)—and it is but just to say that under no supervision could the essential aids to navi gation which are provided by the Trinity House be managed more admirably or more successfully than they are now. (Cheers.) Speaking with some ex perience on the subject, I will say that the most cordial co-operation has always subsisted between this corporation and the scientific department of the Admiralty—and the observations of the latter on the shifting sands and shoals of our shores would be of little avail if it were not for the promptitude with which those dangers are marked by the buoys and beacons of the Trinity House. (Cheers.) It would be needless to dwell on these topics, as the services of the Trinity House in respect of them are universally recognised ; but I will mention one par ticular in which the navy derives especial advantage from its assistance. It is to the Elder Brethren that we are indebted in no slight degree to the efficiency of our navigating officers, and it is to them that Vi 9 look for pilots for our own and neighbouring shores in every emergency. (Hear, hear.) In my opinion one of the wisest decisions ever arrived at was that of the Admiralty, shortly before my appointment to my present office, to continue that most invaluable clas, the navigating officers of the navy, as a separate branch of the service ; and the Admiralty is under great obligations to the Elder Brethren for the as sistance they rendered to the hydrographer in an inquiry on a recent occasion as to the system under which the instruction and examination of young officers in pilotage should be carried on. (Hear, hear.) There is one other bond of union between the navy and the Trinity House to which I cannot refrain from adverting. The most illustrious officer of the navy is also master of this honourable corpo ration—(cheers)—and it must be a subject of mutual gratification that the Duke of Edinburgh should have shown, by accepting a command in which he will circumnavigate the globe, that he does not mean to be a fair-weather sailor, but is ready to share in the duties and responsibilities of service in the most distant regions of the world. (Cheers.) Of the navy itself I can only repeat what I have said on former occasions, that its discipline and efficiency were never superior to what they are at the present moment—(hear, hear)—and I say this, not as a set form of speech, but because I sincerely believe it. (Cheers.) The substitution of armour clad for wooden ships has, indeed, deprived us for a time of the numerical superiority iu fighting ves sels which it has been our policy to maintain ; but, on the other hand, I am satisfied that there is no navy or navies in which the same number of ships represents a force equal to the iron-clad fleet of England. (Cheers.) You will soon have an op portunity of inspecting examples of almost every type of vessel in the navy at the review which is to take place on the 17th of next month—(cheers)-- and I hope you will be reconciled to the loss of beauty in such ships as the Victoria and the Dun can by the consideration of the greater power represented by the Minotaur and her consorts. Cheers.) The deputy master has been good enough to call upon me to return thanks for the Naval Re master has referred to my humble efforts during the session. They have been made where, quoting the words of the song last sung— " The stormy winds do blow." (Loud cheers and laughter.) I can say, for the policy of her Majesty's Government, in one sentence, that if with reference to foreign affairs it is a policy to maintain the peace of Europe, so, with regard to our domestic affairs, our policy is to secure the peace of England. (Cheers.) It is with that view that we have felt it our duty to introduce that great measure to which the Deputy Master has referred ; and all I will say of it on the present occasion is that I hope, as I believe, that it will conduce to the ad vantage of this country--(cheers)—that it will strengthen the State, and add to the spirit of the community. (Cheers.) It is to us a matter of great satisfaction that her Majesty's Government should be remembered on an occasion like the pre sent, and especially in this assembly. (Cheers.) The relations of the Government of this country with the Trinity House are of long date. For many generations their most eminent members have been numbered among the brethren of this society, and it is most satisfactory to them that they should be con nected with a corporation which is identified with one of the noblest public services in all its branches, upon whose efforts the prosperity of our commerce mainly depends, and which, by its accuracy of scientific knowledge, has added so much to the secu rity of this country, has diminished the perils, and has mitigated the sufferings of the mariners of Eng land. (Cheers.) I hope the connection between her Majesty's Government, from whatever party it may be formed, and this ancient and honourable corporation will be permanent. (Cheers.) lam convinced, if that be the case, they will be bound together by associations which are connected with the highest interests of the country. (Cheers.) For my own part, I remember with pride th it I am one, though one of the humblest, of your brethren— (cheers)—and that I have succeeded in the office I hold some of the most eminent men who have been responsible for the administration of the country. (Cheers.) On the part of her Majesty's Govern ment I acknowledge with cordiality the honour you have done them ; and I can assure you with since rity that the consciousness that we possess your esteem and good wishes, whatever may be your po litical opinions, is the best reward we can receive for the performance of our public duties, and the highest inducement we can have to do our duty to our Sovereign and to our country. (Loud cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER being called on by the Deputy Master to give the next toast, said --It is an old story that you may have too much of a good thing, but I am afraid you will be thinking you have in my speeches too much of a bad thing. (Cheers and a laugh.) I ought to have ended with a toast, but you have been favoured with a song in stead. I now wish to propose a toast which is in dissolubly bound with the duties and interests of this institution—the commercial and maritime interests of the country. (Cheers.) how far they depend on the due performance of the duties of the Trinity House no one can for a moment doubt. We guide to the harbour which we often create. It is our light that illuminates the obscure coast, and even reveals the impending reef. (Cheers.) Our mari time and commercial interests, therefore, are bound up with this society, and unless the duties of this society are performed with knowledge, with preci sion, and efficiency, the greatest injury may accrue to our maritime and commercial power. (Cheers.) something also depends on the minister who pre sides over the regulation of these duties ; and I am called to remark that at the present moment the minister who presides over them is in one in whose career I have ever taken great interest ; for years ago in the House of Commons he was under my eye, and I early recognised in him that great capacity for public affairs which on many occasions since be has signally exemplified. (Cheers.) Therefore it is that in connection with this toast I have much pleasure in associating the name of the Duke of Richmond. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND could assure them that he highly valued the honour which had been con ferred upon him in his official capacity as President of the Board of Trade, in having his name coupled with the commercial and maritime interests of the country. He had been for so short a time presiding over that department, and the early part of his life had been passed so much more in ploughing the land than in ploughing the sea—(a laugh)—that he might find himself somewhat at a loss in his new duties ; but the cordiality which had charac terised the dealings of the Board of Trade and the Trinity House since he had been there induced him to think that he Should be enabled with satisfaction to himself, and he hoped with benefit to the court try, to conduct the duties of that department. He was old-fashioned enough to have the strongest possible respect for all the ancient institutions of the country. He had the strongest, the most deeply-seated respect for the constitution of this country. Of that at the present moment he would not speak, for it appeared to him like one of their old wooden ships—she had been taken into dock— (cheers and laughter)—and was being thoroughly overhauled under the auspices of that very eminent shipwright his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Loud cheers and laughter.) But she would soon be fairly afloat again, and they need not apprehend any danger. (Cheers.) Talking of ancient institutions, he was reminded by what had passed that evening that the corporation of the Trinity House dated as far back as the time of Henry VII.; and they had conferred upon them the most important duties in the licensing of pilots, erecting beacons, lighthouses, lightships, and other matters connected with the maritime and commer cial interests of the country. He believed that so far back as 1655 the first lighthouse was erected on these coasts under the auspices of the Trinity house ; and they had since that time lost no oppor tunity of perfecting everything connected with lighthouses and harbours. They had erected sonic of the most beautiful lighthouses that had ever been built, and they were extending their beneficent operations to the extreme parts of the earth. (Cheers.) Not only did this corporation date from those early times, but it had numerous connections with some of the most charitable institutions of the middle ages, and continued them to this day, though under totally changed circumstances. (Cheers.) Without further detaining them, he begged to propose as a boast " Prosperity to the serve, unless some other gentleman would volunteer to do so, and as I do not know whether that invita tion will be responded to, I must add a few words in its behalf. It is a force to which I attach the greatest importance,and I cannot concur in the criticismswhich were made on it a few nights ago in the House of Com mons. I believe it to be a loyal body and an efficient body, and I have no doubt that it will be ready at all times to respond to any call that may be made on its services. (Cheers.) I can only say, as First Lord of the Admiralty, that I should meet any emergency requiring us to put forth all our naval strength with very different feelings having the naval reserve under my lee, or having to go into the market with bounties in my pocket, and to send press-gangs into the streets. (Cheers.) On behalf the Royal Navy and the Royal Naval Reserve, I beg to thank you for the honour you have conferred upon them. (Loud cheers.) The DEPUTY MASTER next proposed " The Health of the Master his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh." (Cheers.) This, he said, was now the second year in which his Royal Highness had been elected to the office which his lamented father had filled, and they looked forward to a long career of usefulness from his being connected with the cor poration. He had the pleasure of seeing his Royal Highness a few days ago before he left, and he' found him the captain of his own ship and attending to his duties. Ile had since heard that the way in which he handled his ship proved that he was a sailor as well as a 11.)yal duke. The toast of " Majesty's Ministers" followed, and was drunk -with great cordiality. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was received with much applause, in reply said—l need not assure you that her Majesty's Ministers must be much gratified by the manner in which you have re ceived the proposition of their healths this day, and not the less so, because, as our Deputy Master has very properly observed, on such occasions as the pre sent their health is given not as an appeal to party feeling or the peculiar opinions which any class of her Majesty's subjects may hold, but to the respect and good feeling of the great body of the people, who appreciate the efforts of the public servants of . the Crown, who endeavour, whatever the principles under which they work, to do their duty to their ove- reign and their country.

Our deputy coupled with the name of Dr. Lushington. The toast was drunk with acclamation. Dr. LUSIIINGTON said for 29 years he had been honoured with a seat at that board on festive occa- sions, and he could not look back on his connection with that corporation without thinking that the period was coming when he could no longer be able to fulfil the duties he had discharged with the energy and power he wished to do. He assured them it was not his wish to retain his position one hour longer than until a fit successor could be found. 1 10 felt the compliment they had paid him in drinking his health, the more because it had come from the noble lord (Stanley), whom he had known for some years, his father for many more, and even his grad" father. The concluding toast was " The Governor of the Bank of England and the Visitors," w ith which the name of Lord De Ros, deputy constable of the Tower, was associated, and the company separa ted shortly before midnight. t . , is kt,t l , - r HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, June 22.

She brings 125 passengers, seven cases of specie, and a largo cargo, consisting principally of wool, coppe r ore, coffee, and oil. At the Cape very little parliamentary business • had been done. Suggestions had been thrown out by the. Government fur abolishing the existing legis lative bodies, and substituting in their stead single chamber, but these suggestions were received with universal disapprobation by the colonial press. The Colonial Secretary had intimated that he w 35 about to move a series of resolutions on the sub ject, but it was alleged in the colony that should those resolutions at all resemble the suggestions co n ' tained in the opening speech, there was not a 0 1 : 13 " dow of probability of their being favourably re ceived. No further steps had yet been taken upon that proposed withdrawal of the troops by the Itnper i3 Government. Public feeling had grown a little quieter on that subject, but was still stroll/41i opposed to the measure. The Colonial Secretary had intimated in his place in Parliament that til e Government would not initiate any legislative act ° in connection with the withdrawal of the troops, but would co-operate as far as possible with a n Y course adopted by the two houses. A long series of resolutions of remonstrance we re : about to be moved in the Cape Parliament ag ainst the withdrawal. The colonists urged that the eenla pulsory annexation of British Kaffraria to them ha been enforced by the Home Government notwith standingc the protest of the Cape Parliamen t, yet now they were called upon to defend that dis: trict.
