No, 52 7 Groot Ormpd-street, W,C, At eight o'clock on Saturday evening the 46th Middlesex paraded in Westminster Hall, to testify their deep respect fur their late lieutenant-colonel, Sir J. V. Shelley. Every officer and man wore mourning, according to the regimental order. The battalion having been told off and square formed by Captain Henderson, the adjutant, Lord CAMPBELL, the major of the corps, entered the square, and said :—Officers and men of the 46th Middlesex, --you well know that I am .not in the habit of addressing speeches to the regiment. There is not a single person in the whole volunteer force less inclined to all unnecessary effort in that man ner. But after the heavy blow we have experienced, it devolves upon the second in command to say a few words upon our prospects. Those prospects rest entirely with you. First, the nature of the volunteer system. Governments are not able to perpetuate a corps, and would not feel entitled to dissolve one. If you determine to go on, the lord lieutenant of th e county, I f ee l cer tain, will b e guided by the p u bli c i nterest i n nam i n g a coin- . mander. He i s no t i n any way bound to appoint the major to th e vacancy. N o suc h ru l e ex i s t s i n our service. I have frequently ascertained, as a sup porter of th'e movement; that volunteer regiments ought as far as possible be commanded by men who have served her Majesty as regulars. The opinion was confirmed by everything I saw of our larnented friend and colonel while I acted under him. His alacrity, his promptitude, his coolness and decision on parade, always seemed to me to have resulted from his early discipline in the profession of a sol dier. Capt. Henderson, who has lately had more frequent opportunities than I of mixing with the regiment, informs me that a brief allusion to the remarkable career of our late commander is desired by those who knew bim well, and by those who have lately joined us. And although it is only in latter years, from acting with him in the corps, that I had the honour of his intimate acquaintance, so far as I am able I Nit try to satisfy the feeling. Liir John Shelley, in early youth, re solved on arms as a profession, and learnt a portion of its rudiments in Hanover, at that time connected closely with Great Britain. While he remained in Germany be bad the happy fortune of coming under the protection and residing in the house of Goethe, the great philosopher of 'Weimar, a fact of which he never ceased to recognise the benefit, and which throws a light on many phases of his subsequent activity. On his return to England he joined the Royal Horse Guards as a cornet, and in a very short time lie undertook the office of the ad jutant. Our attention ought to rest upon that mo ment, because it stamped his character and in fluenced his fortunes. It was most unusual then, as it is now, for officers in the cavalry to hold the post of adjutant. Since the time of Sir John Shelley only three have done so in the regiment he be longed to. The labour which devolves upon an ad jutant in infantry is onerous ; but in cavalry he has to look to horses as well as men. The whole ma chine, being more delicate and complex, requires greater supervision from him. In the Household regiments, on his eye depend—although this per haps is the least important of his cares—the arms and the accoutrements whieli form on certain days the outward splendour of the monarchy. He parades every guard before it leaves the barrack, from which he is seldom absent. Duty of this kind would be supportable enough, unless pleasure stood beside it as a rival. But at that time S;r John was known in the world as having the keenest taste for every • species of enjoyment which an adjutant renounces, and was led into this arduous and self-denying post by military zeal and by professional enthusiasm, not that • had any reason to-think himself a loser by the sacrifice. Although he had to fly many of the charms society presents to the young officer, he was pursued by what he thought, perhaps, the greatest which it has to offer, its esteem. So much was his credit raised by the example he had set and by the labours he had courted, that without any further effort of his own he found himself within the walls beyond as representative of Gatton. As member for Gatton, h e was b ound to uphold the charter of the borough against the great change of 1831, by which it was endangered. And this duty he per formed on the second night of the debate with a vivacity and although it irritated his opponents, and which at judgment which cheered his friends, least sustained the lustre of the regiment of which he had not ceased to be the adjutant. When the Act of 1832 had passed, he withdrew from the political arena, and under no satiety or lassitude — but because he did not see the prospect of becoming a commander, h His mind was not fixed on agriculture as an occupa tion and a science. H e kept 2 eOOO service r o f a her Majest y. esided in. These a cres under his own management, and formed a model farm for the instruction ou of t practical pursuits led him deeply to resolve the questions which th en b egan to agitate t h e country, viz.—whether forei gn corn should b e exc l u d e d f rom , or, on the contr ary, i nvited- to its harbours. All that he had learnt f roalGoethe in h i s you th — a ll th e views which Adam Smith had scattered in the world, 'all, that other men of the same school were then im petuously urging, united with his growing insight and daily toil in the fi e ld s, led hi m ' im to the con clusion of which Sir Roberc Peel, his ancient leader in the House Of Commons, became eventually the organ. In those days, to be at once a landowner, a farmer, and free-trader was a position so remark able that no man who held it could remain secluded in the country, however great the happiness derived from it. The reputation of Sir J. Shelley pene trated Westminster ; and in 1852 he was enrolled in that high order which has been illustrated by the names of Charles Fox, of Sir Francis Burdett, of Sir John Cam Hobhouse, and of Lord Dundonald. Men reach many dignities by favour or by birth ; but it is not by such means alone that they have ever sat for Westminster in Parliament. Again in 1857, again in 1859, our late commander reached that honoured situation. Speaking in that hall, ani surrounded by those who watched him as a re presentative, it would be absurd to dwell on tho political fidelity by whic h f or so long a time he en gaged the confidence of his su pporters. But one of his daily habits in the p ost h e filled, during three tide is such th a t amongst the most oppres s arp Parliaments too into arrestthe metropolitan constituency is o ppressive of its duties. If a ll owe d this fact, Sir John a nswered e very elector whose letter reached him in th e mornin g before breakfast, and never left his door or saw his friend s un til hi s it becomes impossible to stem it. I mpressed with correspondence was disposed of. to pass un no ti ced. The cor- Engrossed by Parliament and Westminster, he found leisure to create the Bank of London and this regiment. With regard to the latter, you know far better than myself the delays, annoyances, and opposition he surmounted. It will always be a satisfaction to us that last Easter we saw him as a brigadier in all the vigour of his faculties; that twice more it was permitted us to follow him —on the long summer afternoon when the Prince of Wales attended in Hyde Park ; and last of all when, in spite of di minished strength, he appeared himself at our head for the inspection. I have neither the intention nor the capacity to eulogise his merit ; to do so any man must be acquainted with the business of a soldier, both in cavalry and infantry, with that of a politician, of a banker, and a farmer. All these parts he tried, and in every one he was distinguished. But if, setting eulogy aside, I were asked in what consisted the secret of his various versatile ability, I should subscribe it to his uniformity and con stancy in labour. Most men are ready to exert themselves if in a fortnight they are going to be ex amined for a place or a degree ; or if to-morrow they are going to be inspected in their regiment ; or if in a few hours they will have to speak in courts of justice or in Parliament. But no sooner has the danger passed and the necessity subsided than they sink again into a trance, from which no argument can rouse them. Sir John, on every day of his career, appeared to have the energy which other minds may reach in a campaign or an election. For us, we cannot hope to catch the ardour and inten sity he gave to all the stages of his life; but yet, by patient toil and strenuous exertion in every task which we approach, we may become more worthy of the care and zeal which he devoted to our regiment. There is but one further point I feel it almost a sacred duty to refer to. As there will be no drill to-night, perhaps it may not be fatiguing to you. Unflagging will and constant animation, great and pregnant as they are, cm never be regarded as a guarantee of principle or virtue. The best and worst men may equally possess them. Although conspi cuous in the person we lament, they do not form his only title to our sorrow. In moral character he stood a test which some of the most scrupulous, the most high-minded men have not been able to en counter. However urgent the temptation, he re olved that he would never practise illegal outlay in elections. Not only did he openly proclaim that mode of thinking in discussion with his friends, but when his prospects were at stake determined to ap ply it. On retiring from Wrestminster in 1865 he went to Bridgwater, a borough in the west of Eng land. When corruption set in against him with a fatal force he declined in any manner to retaliate upon it. With his usual firmness and despatch he unseatedhis opponent bya parliamentary committee; but when he heard that nothing but illegal outlay could return him for the place, he declined to take advantage of the vacancy his efforts had created. His last political proceedings were therefore an em phatic tribute to the purity by which, as he main tained, elections ought to be conducted. So strong and so remarkable was his opinion on this question, that had any one been able to propose to him an absolute control of foreign and domestic policy, wit h all the ordinary patronage of State, on condition of his securing 10 or 20 votes, by men who to the end of time would never be considered as his agents, he would not, I feel convinced, have fallen into the arrangement. I have often been led to contemplate and reflect on this feature of his mind, and striking as it was, have not been able wholly to connect it with his origin. One word remains to be said as to the regiment. To disperse or to disband would be a treason to the memory we honour. We cannot bring him back, but we may cherish the result of his acti vity. So long as this corps survives—and it may last from age to age—his name will never be for gotten. Whatever form of government you choose, the same defences will always be wanted to uphold it. Staggered as we are, however, by this irreparable loss, we cannot be expected yet to take the field as a battalion. In the meanwhile you may remember the first duty of a soldier is the cool and steady practice of the weapon which be longs to him, because it is only to enable him to use it at the proper time and under the best circum stances that all the higher movements of an army are directed. You know the conditions upon which we allow rifles to remain in private houses. Every man the moment he gets up may go through the bayonet exercise, may give himself position drill and aiming drill, may keep up the manual and platoon, attaching more importance to the latter than the former. Proficiency in arms was never more essen tial than at present ; those who have ought to retain and those who want ought to acquire it, since no man knows how soon he may be called upon to guard the safety, or how s9on to vindicate the freeiom of his country. During the speech, which lasted about 20 minutes, nearly every allusion to Sir John Shelley was inter rupted by the marked'sympathy of the corps—his deatlibaving eVide - ntlffdide a deep impression upon those whom he commanded. Reference in the Queen's Speech to the United States. , Tne paragraph in the Queen's Speech which more particularly affects us is the third, in which her MAJESTY states that she " has suggested to the Government of the Mated States a mode by which questions pending between the two countries, aris ing out of the civil war, may receive an amicable solution." This is the official assurance from the highest quarter that the Government of Great Britain has directed its attention "to remove all grounds of possible misunderstanding, and to promote relations of cordial friendship" with the American people. On this subject her MAJESTY appears to have been well advised, and we have no doubt that her Ministers had good grounds for putting the words into her MAJESTY'S mouth, that "if these advances be met, as I trust they will be, in a corresponding spirit," that these results will be obtained. A great deal of the bitterness felt towards England in the United States, at the close of the civil war, has died out. The attention of that country has been mainly directed since then to difficult questions of domestic policy. Even the few events which have caused discussion throughout the Union, in relation to foreign affairs, have bad little reference to Great Britain. The difficulties of working neutrality laws in a free country have, since the depredations of the Alabama, and other piratical cruisers, and the raids from the Canadian frontiers, been expe rienced by the Government of the United States, and has taught it a practical lesson of forbearance to other Governments similarly placed. If Fenian inroads have had no other effect, they will at least strengthen the hands of the Commissioners ap pointed to consider and adjudicate on the claims which may be submitted by each side for adjust ment. It cannot be surprising that a cruiser could escape to sea from a British port, to a people who have seen a band openly organised, and marched from their own territories, for the invasion of a friendly province. If the raids by Southern rebels from the frontiers of Canada excited the deepest indignation throughout the States, the raids of Irish rebels into Canada from the States may be con sidered as a full counterpoise, and teach the people of both frontiers that the game is a dangerous one, at which two can play, and, however played, must lead only to their loss. It is in truth a crime of the deepest dye to foster such brigand enterprises. Nor is it only a crime—for it is even a greater folly. To permit such villanies to be perpetrated is but a return to the worst days of the middle ages, to play into the hands of the lawless ruffians of both nations, and to encourage a class of armed cut-throats whose knives will always be ready to be turned as quickly against former friends as against present foes. If two great Christian nations are to fight, it should at least be an open and civilised warfare, and not by such underhand and surreptitious means as these. It is a pity that the great building firm to whom the people of Eng land owe the miseries and misfortunes entailed by the hateful cruise of the disreputable Alabama can ' not be reached by law, and that the nation should be subjected to so heavy a loss, which, heavy as it is, will be but a small part of the troubles caused, that this firm should make a paltry profit. It may, however, be a question whether England does not deserve it—for, if the law could not reach this firm, public opinion could, had the community chosen to exert it. Many were foolish enough to applaud, when the craft escaped to sea to pile up a huge bill of destruction, every cent of which they themselves will have to pay. had they been gifted with a grain of sense, they would have seen that if successful in establishing such a precedent, a case as bad as it is possible for imagination to conceive would have become a fact, to be used hereafter against their own commerce—the most vulnerable of all nations. If not able to establish this prece dent, they would have to swallow all their excla mations of delight, to pay for the depredations, and to eat some very disagreeable " humble pie." Pro bably when the tax CQgqc to be levied which is to pay for all this they may find that the ship-building firm to whom they owe the misfortune were guilty of a crime, instead of a laudable act. We have no sympathy for fools who have to pay for their folly, but the great unheard mass of this nation felt very differently, and it is a hardship that they should be caught in such a trap. If these cruisers—the Sr. Alban raiders --and the Fenian bands—lead to the passing of ' more stringent neutrality laws by both nations, some good will be extracted from so much evil, and we most cordially echo her MAJESTY'S hope, that the propositions of Great Britain may be met in the broadest spirit of conciliation, by the Government of therUnited States.--A nylo-Anzerican Time:. • Artificial Illumination. Last evening the subject of artificial illumination and all the questions connected with the lighting of large towns were brought before the Society of Arts in a paper by Mr. D. N. - Defries, the well-known gas engineer. Before the audience various inte resting models of light-producing machinery were placed, and among others was one invented by Mr. E. Welch for producing a gas froni volatile oils, an invention which attracted nolittle attention, not only for it.i extreme uiefulness, but inasmuch as its application to a town or city remote from coal-pro ducing districts will give the inhabitant all the ad vantages derived from coal gas. Mr. Defries com menced his paper by giving the history of the gra dual development of different torts - of lat.,p-burners, and having touched upon the introduction of vola tile oils and coal gas as means of illumination, he proceeded to show the value of different burners, the fish tail," the " bat's-wing," the " cockspur," and, the best of all, the " sun barner"—namely, the lighting from the roof. " This burner," Mr. Defries said, " is so constructed that the products of com bustion are carried out of the room by means of a ventilating funnel awl tubs placed directly over it. In most cases the sun burner consists of seven clus ters of nine fish-tails each. The burners are sup plied with gas from a descending pipe, whi c h branches to each cluster, and surrounding the whole in a sheet-iron cone, with a tube attached to the top, for carrying off the products of combustion. In this tube there is placed a butterfly valve, for the purpose of regulating the current of air, so that the draughts may not be too great, and the lights may burn in a horizontal direction. Around the cone are placed other iron cases, which not only serve for ventilation, but also insulate the inner cone, and, by their cooling effect, prevent the intense heat of the latter from being communicated to the woodwork of the ceiling. These cylinders are not connected with each other or the cone, and therefore distinct currents of air pass be tween each of them. Such is the cooling effect of these currents, that while the cone is hot the two outside cases are of the same temperature as the atmosphere of the room. On the upper part of the cylinders there is an inverted cone, with a pipe pass ing through the ceiling and roof, protected on the outside by a guard, which allows the hot air and products of combustion to escape." With respect to the processes forcarburetting—that is, the supplying to the gas before it is burnt, the vapours of some volatile hydro-carbon, so as to increase the illumi nating power of the gas—he said many inventions had been proposed for increasing the brilliancy of coal gas, and at the same time for renderingit more economical and innocuous. One was to pass the gas through an apparatus where a large surface of a liquid rich in carbon was exposed. This acted very well for a short time, the gas taking up large quan tities of hydro-carbon vapour ; but the more vola tile portion of this being consumed first, and only the lreavier-and fi lesa volatile liquid being left behind, it necessarily yielded less and less vapour, and the gas became poorer until it ceased to be in any de gree improved. Besides this, the tarry and watery vapours were condensed in the interior of the appa ratus, and rendered it after some time useless. Many forms of carburettors had been devised for getting rid of these difficulties, with more or less success. The latest is one invented and patented by Mr. Welch, wherein thereservoir was placedat the upper part, from which, by a simple arrangement, the liquid descended only as required to maintain the ptoper supply of vapour. This was brought about by the pressure of the gas itself, all floats being dis pensed with. To prevent the apparatus from being obstructed by tarry and watery vapours, a chamber was placed at the bottom in which these are con densed, and they can be drawn off through a plug placed at the bottom for that purpose. The " carburettor" required no attention beyond re filling periodically, the diminution of the inten sity of the light showing when that operation is necessary. lie showed gas burning with and without the carburettor of Mr. Welch, and the illustration at once proved the value of the invention, for the illuminating power of the gas was in a mo ment increased to a dazzling degree. Magneto 'electric light was touched upon, and a lamp for burning magnesium wire was exhibitel. The last in ventionof light-producers described was the model of Mr. E. Welch. This produced what was termed the Augasma light, by causing atmospheric air to take up a large quantity of a very volatile hydro carbon by means of a carburettor especially con structed for the purpose. " This," Mr. Defries said, " has been often attempted, but without any prac tical success till now, owing to . the defective arrange ment of the apparatus. In Mr. E. Welch's machine the air is pumped by clock-work. As soon as the re ceiver is full, the lever is lifted, and stops the de scending pump in its course by turning off a very well ground-in valve, thus arresting the movement of the clock-work. The. air from these two pumps passes through into the receiver or governor, as it is sometimes called. The receiver is so weighted as to give the requisite pressure to the air for driving it through the pipes. From the air-holder the air passes through the carburettor, where it takes up the hydro-carbon vapour. The construction of the carburettor is very complete and effective, and serves either for air or gas; but those for gas have much less surface than those for air. The hydro-carbon, though highly volatile and inflammable, is not ex plosive. The hydro-carbon can be extracted from most of the commercial hydro-carbon oils, such as petroleum, &c., but its manufacture is only know n to the inventor and a few others." Mr. Defries ex hibited an improved street lamp which will throw the light down, instead of allowing its rays to be lost, as in the present lamps. A discussion followed the reading of the paper, and it w as g enerall y al lowed that the London streets wer e ver y ill-lighted. The vestries were blamed for this by some of the speakers, and were defended by others who said they were vestrymen, and they threw the blame . upon the gas companies. The chairman, Hawes, replied, and a vote of thanks having been passed to Mr. Defries, the proceedi n g s terminated. Tint SCUTTLING OF THE SEVERN.—Thanks to the vigilance of Lloyd's Salvage- Association, the most ample has beet' given to the facts of thi s a t roc i ous case. lu l nt i h i ce it iYnterest of humanity, not less than of commerce, it was thought il..!sirable to possess a more minute record not a mere shorthand writer's transcript—of the pioceed lugs of the late trial than the London daily newspapers could by possibility find room for; and, accordingly, al:orps of available Parliamentary reporters, selected from the staffs of the Times, Standard, Rally News, and Star, and superintended by Mr. Mould, the manager of the Parlia mentary corps of the Standard, were engaged to furnish a report of the proceedings in =tense-, with a view to publi cation in a separate form. By all the morning mails dur ing the five days' trial an admirably printed report of the proceedings, amounting to between 17 and 18 columns a day, was despatched to the outports for the information of the mercantile community throughout the king dom. The highest compliment that could be paid to the accuracy and : intelligent rendering of those daily reports was that counsel constantly referred to them by way of brief, and thanked the associa tion for lightening their labours. The Salvage As sociation intend reprinting the report in an octavo volume, for circulation amongst all the chambers of com merce, marine insurance offices and clubs, and sailors' libraries in Great Britain. This is a wise step, because familiarity with the details of the detestable scheme just brought to light will place the insuring and seafaring world Q4l its guard against similar plotting for the future. 4 , 1 SPAPER V•15"1iz4;"4. -- the Duke of C, iam nounced his intention of being presen, Wciawicki. garrison this morning to preside at a' meeting of the Defence Committee, to be held at the Royal Repo sitory, at Woolwich, at 2 o'clock.

Rear-Admiral Robinson also briefly inspected the wooden unarmoured vessels Blanche, 4, 350 horse power, and the Myrmidon, 4,200 horse power, which are both nearly ready for launching; and also inspected the boats building for the Paris Exhibition. After taking luncheon at th e official residence of Capt. Stewart, C. 8., Lord 11. Lennox and Rear-Admiral Robinson left the dock yard shortly before three o'clock and returned to the Admiralty. Her Majesty's .steam sloop Zebra, 7 guns, 951 tons, and 200 horse power, commissioned at Wool wich on the 9th inst., by Commander E. J.

The Virago, 6, paddle wheel sloop, 1,059 tons, 220 horse power, Commander 11. M. Bingham, lately returned to Sheerness from the West Coast of Ireland, has been brought into the. basin, where a number of hands from the factory will be immedi ately set to work to fit a new main shaft to her paddle wheels, in lieu of that broken in a heavy gale which she encountered during her short commission on the Irish coast.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Evening. Her Majesty's new screw steam sloop Dryad, 4, in charge of the officers of the steam reserve in Ha maze, went on trial outside the breakwater this morning, and was run ashore in White Sand Bay, and narrowly escaped being wrecked. She was built of wood at Devonport, burden 1,086 tons, and has engines of 300 horse power, by Na pier, which seemed to work well, having produced 92 revolutions per minute with a pressure of steam of 251 b., and vacuum 27. Her present draught is 15ft. aft and Bft. 1 lin. forward. Her load draught will be 18ft. aft. In consequence of the thickness of the weather the Eddystone was not descried, and no reliable calcu lation of the ship's speed could be made. When she was put about, instead of returning to the Sound, she went on the rocks in front of Down Derry, several miles to the restward, at 11.5 a.m., and continued bumping until 11.35, when she was backed off by her screw. Some timbers, supposed to be portions of her false keel, were beaten off, and came up alongside. She was only 100 yards from the beach, and the houses could be clearly seen. Where the Dryad struck the ground was flat on either side. The rocks are 53 rugged that they would soon have torn her to pieces. The Down Derry lifeboat was promptly manned and brought alongside. The Coastguard boarded the sloop in a quarter of an hour, and one of the officers piloted her to Ply mouth. Five minutes before grounding the engines were slowed. After grounding they kept backing astern at full speed until she got off. Preparations were made to carry out a kedge anchor . The accident is attributed to the incorrectness of the cornpasies, said to be five points out. The weather was extremely fine. There was scarcely any wind. It was high tide at noon. The Dryad will be docked immediately. The works at the palaces of the Luxembourg and Legislative Body rendered necessary for the opening of the session are nearly completed. Tho old tribuno of the Chamber of Peers has been set up in the Senate. It is in mahogany, awl harmonises perfectly well with the general aspect of the hall. At the palace on the Quai d'Orsay score of workmen are still employed in erecting the tribuno for speakets, and a second row of seats for the public. The old tribune was not entirely destroyed, as the marble stair case and lower foundation were preserved. A mahogany ledge, as in the Senate, will replace the marble which for merly served to afford place for papers, documents. &c. The bas reliefs of Lemot have been found, in which were seen two Gallic cocks and a rather revolutionary image of Liberty, of somewhat questionable taste. Nevertheless, these had been attached to the presidential bureau iu1852, and had wounded no susceptibilities after that date.
