Smith, anxious to make the spectacle instructive as well as amusing to the patrons of this Theatre, has obtained, at considerable trouble, the Description of the Grand Egyptian Coronation Procession, arranged and adapted to this stage by " Dykwynkyn," from the works of Clemens, Herodotus Strabo, Plutarch, Di o dorus Siculus, Jablonski, LoPedus, Dimon, Champolion, Rosellini, Savary, Wilkinson, and other authorities in the British Museum, the publishing of which may prove interesting to the numerous patrons s it bessing the spectacle, and can be had in the Theatre for one Peony., Military Entree—Egyptian Soldiery in fell costume, marching three deep, with Band of Trumpets and Tympanum, or Hand Drum.

Attendant priests also fan the idol and offer homage as it passes forward. The festivals in honour of Apia lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of People assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred ( living) Bull in sol emn procession, every one coming forward from their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby ' gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under WI tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and literal abale.onment to the intoxication of joy all over the kingdom. Many temples were erected and dedicated to " Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column of Measurement—the Nilometer ! N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally com. posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotu.s. Priests with the pretended God "Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. ." It is said that the Chaldeans, trans- Porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that if he remained the conqueror they ehoold adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of an extremely porous earth, through which the water filtrates and is purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with water,' and made it his god. He covered it with the head of - an ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus. The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the contest began ; they lighted their fires around the vase; the wax melts, the water runs through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has been re- - presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this form that he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin Histoire de l'Eglise, livre second. No. 4.

The Principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men we re admitted to eternal felicity. This deity was very aollB his temples and priests were to be found in al most every part of Egypt ; the sacred rites of Osiris were a Pr"ound mystery, never revealed.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS EVENING, and every evening during the weok, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-chanting variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and rashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con- that no proiessor of-his . art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so el4ensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by 'esortieg to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making• dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in •erest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." • Judging simply :by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's exposé of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, 'he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within tho Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. Ho regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David' Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the =elution of the phenomena ; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved, mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor ; young (under 20), an or . phan, and in very had health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject ; and .now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the focumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts h;s belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t) be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and" then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be 'deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Miderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believeld, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. lug, the programme being continually changed.

The reason is, that all those are attempts to provide for the people much that the people do not care for, and much they do not understand ; and both are .frequentdy done iu a way that offends the pride and self-esteem .of the Working classes, who are as independent in feeling as any other class in society. The consequence of this state of things is, that the Me chanics' Institutions of Lord Brougham, the Atheumums of the rich traders of Manchester and Liverpool, and even the drys: tal Palace of Prince Albert, are failures, as far as the veritable' .people are concerned; who scarcely ever visit such places, where they feel themselves intruders. They mingle ith• classes who look down upon them, and they keep, as most• classes do, to their own places of. amusement and recreation, such as they are. Fair .e.re mostly done away with, and the boisterous mirth -of such, plteps .has degenerated into scrambles for picking pockets and viler purposes. Meanwhile population goes on increasing at a tremendous rate. Every year the addition of hundreds of thousands extend the area of this huge metropolis ;'and whilst alliother classes have their refining and civilising processes, the artisan alone . sinks lower and lower in the-scale. • The class of traders has improved with every generation, and we now find their sons and daughters are more refined, have more knowledge, and better taste than had the ancestors of many lords and dukes a hundred years since. Their . young , men support.the nume rous theatres, concerts, libraries, clubs, exhibitions, and in stitutions of this great Gown. They are well chithed and well mannered, and in all essential respects gentlemen. What a contrast is there with the artisan class, who go on from generation to generation uncared for ; and although they too have made some progress in civilintion, yet by no means in a fair proportion., • . . Whence this difference arises is plain to be seen. The traders' sons are not only better grounded in education, but they have numerous sources of ,adult education. Their wits are sharpened at the theatres, their minds are cultivated at the various learned and literary institutions, and by mingling in company at the Clubs and other places of resort. They thus get, what no set or scientific education can give, some refinement of manner and the' elements of taste. It may be said that our artisans and workmen have the same opportunities, but it is uot so. • • It is true the civilising influence of the theatre is thrown open to them, and many take advantage of it ' • but the people at large require much more than this; and many many thousands never receive even this influence; some by principle, and others by circum stances, being precluded. The Crystal 'Palace comes the nearest to a grand refining public institution ; but it is essentially removed out of the reach of the working classes, except for' occasional purposes. What the people want is something that shall spontaneously attract them. Some place which they can feelis their own, some place where they are At home amongst their own friends and their own class. A place in which they can take a pride, and where they will find ease, and pleasure, and relaxation, mingled imperceptibly with refining and instructing pro cesses ; where by mixing with men of all tempers and capa cities, they will acquire manners, and by Associating with portions of art, acquire refinement and taste. No such attempt has yet been made. Hospitals have been built for the sick ; mevhanics' institutes for abstract studies : schools for the ignorant; but nothing has been done to prove the manners and the, tastes of the great body of the people ; and this we maintain, in spite of the British Museum and the National Gallery being thrown open to all. Tbo wanderinc , through"museums and galleries, without other stimulants to the mind, is of little advantage, and that it is so is proved by the inadequate operation of such places on the minds of the people at large. It is a remarkable fact that the mind will remain dead to all such appeals for ages, and.that it is only earnestly aroused and improved through the. feelings. Thus the pulpit will do more than scientific lectnres; and theatres than dumb gal leries and overloaded museums. If, then, the people are to be awakened to a full develop ment of their capacities and power, they must have the means of doing so. They must be sufficiently informed and culti vated to become a class. - They must feel their own position and respect it, and they must become powerful by cohesion, and by a unity of taste and interest. • • Looking at in this point of view, the imperfectly existing amount of civilisation, and among the working classes its slow rate of progression, too . plainly shows the mental state of the greatest portion of mankind. Sanitary improvements would not, be so tardy ; mendicancy so extensive ; law so inefficient ; and true reirgion "ss' 'partial, if the minds of mankind were fully infornied, 'and' the best feelings of the human heart were cultivated, It has been, therefore, thought by ozo who sincerely sym pathises with his own class, . 4 ' The • people," that a better commencement of a new epoch, in which.to arouse the popu lar intellect, could not be, devised than to erect on a magni ficent seal.,_ A PBOI . )LE'S CLUB, to which " The people" would .resort, and enjoy, amidst the elegancies of art , all that ... .. . . A NEWS-ROOM AND LIBRARY, on the largest and most liberal scale, could afford.

Arrangements have been made which will enable the bank to commence business early in January next. This bank, to be incorporated by royal charter, is estab lished for the purpose of founding the principle of MUTUAL BANKING, whereby customers, who create the profits, be come entitled to a participation in them, by way of interest on their cash balances. The principle of mutuality has been for many years acted on by insurance companies, and their policy-holders have participated to a very great _extent in the bonuses, with much advantage to the institutions arid the shareholders, By banks; lowever; to this period, MUTU ALITY has been neglected. The whole of the profits result ing from successful operations have been given to the share holders only.. ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITY BANK. I. To shareholders, 5 per cent., from the date of payment, on all paid-up capital, as well as 50 per cent. of the profits. 11. To customers, in addition to the ordinary amount paid on deposit and current accounts, interest oh their cash ba lances, equivalent to 50 per cent. of the profits. This is the plan on which the UNITY JOINT STOCK MUTUAL BANKING AssOclArioN is established. By it is created, for the first time, an identification of interest between the customers and shareholders'd the bank, who thus become mutaially"con corned in the_extension of its business. It will be the means of opening up new business, preserving a connection once formed, and productive of practical benefits to the public generally.

It is proved to demonstration, that joint-stock banking, under proper supervision affords a most legitimate and un usually profitable field ' for the investment of capital. The dividends paid by'the banks above quoted vary from 6 to 25 per cent., and the latest quotations of their shares show an increase of 55 to 225 percent. on their paid-up capital. The real increase, however, in the value of the shares may be bet ter understood, by the fact that the paid-up capital of these six banks is 2,817,0351., and that its present market value is 6,912,116/. It has thus increased two-and-a-half fold, so that every 1/. has now become 2/. 10s., and there is every prospect of this amount oontinuing to increase in value. COURT OF DIRECTORS OF THE UNITY BANK.

THE NEW PRINCIPLE INTRODUCED BY THE UNITY Regarding the distlnetive BANK. principle of the Unity Bank, i has been suggested that there must be a detraction from the profits of the shareholders, by reason of 50 per cent. being given to the customers of the bank. This idea can only have arisen, hoWever, from the wait of a careful consideration of the whole subject. In the first place, it is necessary to re member from whom the profits of a hank are derived. They are not made from the share capital. The very first ingredi ent fur the formation of profits is a customer. The amount of profit must, therefore, be governed by the amount of busi ness transacted ; and the larger the business. provided it be properly conducted, the larger will be the profits. It must be n t h d e , a n l u s o ni , h t h e a r t of t f l a e e r e e a n t l s e x o t f e n p t r o o f fi t t s h , e a d n i d v i t d h e a n t d s s o m p u e s t t . d bo ep rn e e nd in o mi n cent. of the profits, extending over large transactions, may be far greater than 100 per cent. derived from more circum scribed business. If, then, the customers of a bank consti tute its profits, the customers should be induced to transact their business with the bank, and thereby the profits of the shareholder, instead of being reduced, will be augmented. The inducement held out to the customer, however, should be such as does not involve or complicate the business of bank• ing. It should not be by the promise of some peculiar accom modation,- or some particular and iaereaseti rate of interest, or by any departure from; that sound system of joint-stock banking which has stood the test of years of experience, and procured so great prosperity. But it should be, as it is in the Unity Bank, an advantage which interferes in no degree with established prieciples, but merely allocates a portion of that which has already been declared to be profit to those who have been the makers of it. Assurance companies have been accustomed to apportion certain of their profits, by way of bonus, to their assurers ; and so general has become the re cognition of the right of the assurer to this participation, that no assurance association would now be established without this essential to success. The justice of the principle consists in this—that as the assurers make the profits of the company, they ought to be participators in its prosperity. What is just in assurance will be sound just also in banking. The customers of a bank make the profits of the bank, and they ought also to be participators in its 'prosperity. It has been asserted, also, that the 50 per cent. of the pro fits proposed to be divided, while it would detract from the profits of its shareholders, would bo but a trifling benefit to the customers. It might, in the first place, be replied that no benefit is considerid " trifling" by those who rightly -esti mate pecuniary affairs ; that the benefit, if trifling, is in addi tion to all the other benefits usually derived by banking at a joint-stock bank ; and that no correct data can be formed of the profits which will be made. On the other hand, it must be remembered that hitherto persons have taken their bank ing account where personal feeling, accommodation, or con venience of locality might lead them. Now, for the first time, by the introduction of the principle of mutuality, self-interest is appealed to. And when, to the large number of the o public atracted by this all-powerful stimulus, is added the number of the connections of the Unity Insurance Associations in all parts of the country, who have a peculiar identification with and interest in its success, it may fairly be stated, that ante cedent data are not sufficient to form an estimate of the ad vantages which both the shareholders and customers will derive from the unity Bank. Great difficulty exists in estimating the effects likely , to be produced by the establishment of this new aad most desirable feature in banking. It is one that must become highly, popu lar with every commercial interest, and with every class of tho public, because its simplicity and advantages are at once to be seen and appreciated. To those great commercial bodies which ire compelled t o have large cash balances cons tantl y at ther.rbankers , it will i prove to be a serious consideration, and o t s most important source of profit. The railway', dock, gas, wsiter, steam •navi ceable gation, insurance, and other companies, ilrofessional men, merchants, brokers, gentlemen of fortune, and tra.ders of all kinds, will duly estimate the difference in the s y stem no w proposed, from that heretofo re existing. In fine, as- joint stock c k lu tt ban n ps kr maybe s nae b yi e pb c l a ee became f nnid a en p rt u end h a public tt ill ce i s i t as is now p ro v e d , so 3 thSse admirabl e in vd, to the publi c , and in no way less safe--demand the best consideration of the community at large.

E. T. Smith, to whom the merit of this patriotic pro ject belongs, is determined to carry it out by means of a Joint- Stock. Company, established ou the principle of Limited Liabi lity. , Re has already secured the assistance of several men, whose position, talents, and national feelings will be of the greatest service to the .project, and who, lopking far beyond the immediate results, eee in such a project an effective means of advancing the true civilisation of all within the pale of an artificial community. As it is a project wieich has for its aim national advantages, by aiding in the improvement of the manners and morals of the people, it is one which may claim assistance from men (and women) of all professiors of religion and all classes of society. The Company will commence its operations by building a spacious, handsome, and well-ventilated Hall, capable of holding at least 7,000 persons at one time, which will be de corated in an artistic style, and will have in it a large and well-selected Library, Maps, Plans, and Engravings, and all that can illustrate the great public events of the day. Music and concerts will be occasionally introduced as mat ters of recreation ; and also, at certain seasons, explanatory lebtures, from men of the very highest position in their va rious professions. In this respect it will seek to stand in the same relation to the working, that the Royal Society does to the aristocratic classes. Everything that can soothe the weary worker and relieve the tolling man, and at the same time invigorate the mind, will be devised. It is intended essentially to be a place of recreation and relief, but still conducted so that a great deal of indirect and useful information shall almost unconsciously be obtained; a place where conversation may be enjoyed, intelligence acqxired, and that social intercourse take place necessary to all sorts and conditions of men. It is estimated that for a subscription of one shilling weekly, the payment of which will suit the convenience of all classes, aworking man shall have access to the Library, News-room, and Lectures, and the occasional concerts, balls, and celebra tions which will be given. The funds requisite, -for the erection of the necessary buildings, &c., are proposed to be raised by means of a Joint- Stock Company with limited liability, having a eapital of 15,0001., consisting of 6,000- shares, of 21. 10s. each; 10s. to be paid on allotment, and the remainder by suitable instal ments during the progress of the works ; or by a subscription of one shilling weekly, at the end of twelve months a work ing man will become proprietor of a share in the building, and a vote in the direction and management of the Club. The amount of the shares -is purposely fixed at so low a. sum as to give working men an opportunity of becoming shareholders, and participating in the profit which, on the safest data, it has been computed must arise to the proprie tors. A per centage net exceeding 101. per 1001. will be paid to the shareholders, and all profits above that amount will be expended upon the extension of the Institution itself and its Library. Every holder of five shares will be entitled, in addition to the above per centage, to the same privileges as if he were a personal subscriber to the Institution. Arrangements will also be made by which the wives and children of members will be admitted to all the advantges of the Institution, both for the purposes of recreation and education, on the most easy terms, A code of rules and regulations will shortly be issued by the Managing Committee, and plans of the building will be exhibited by the architects engaged. In the meantime, all applications for shares and other information are requested to be made to Mr. E, T. Smith, Theatre Royal, Drury lane.

Indeed it is very probable the - electors will think your appearance amongst them as a candidate a very great piece of " presumption," and so, Mr. Fitzgerald, you may as well remain at Trafalgar•square. BELFAST TRADE.—In 1829 Belfast possessed only one flax spinning mill, with fourteen thousand spindles, now there are upwards of half-a-million spindles. The ton nage, inwards and outwards, of the port is now upwards of ens million five hundred thousand tons annually. The value of Belfast imports and exports for 1854 was upwards of sixteen millions sterling. The tonnage re gistered in Belfast amounted last year to about 80,000 tons, viz., 60,000 engaged in the foreign, and about 20,000 engaged in the coasting trade. The amount re ceived by the Customs. and Excise in Belfast now ex ceeds one million sterling annually. The consumption of coals in Belfast exceeds one thousand tons per day. The annual consumption of tea and sugar in the Belfast district now amounts to about two millions of pounds of the fornser and six thousand tons of the lat ter. Since 1801 the tonnage entering the port of Bel fast has increased upwards of fifteenfold.—Belfast Mer cantile Journal.

ARTICLE 11. The protection granted by the Convention which was concluded between the High Contracting Parties on the 13th of May, 1846, to' original works, is - extended to translations ; it being, however, clearly understood that the intention of the present Article is simply to protect a translator in respect of his own translation, and that it is not intended to confer upon the first translator of any work the exclusive right of translating that work, except in the case and to the extent pro vided for in the following Article. ARTICLE 111. The author of any work published in either of the two countries, who may choose to reserve the right of translating it, shall, until' the expiration of five years from the date of the first publication of the translation thereof authorized by him, be, in the following cases, entitled to protection from the publication in the other country of any translation. of such work not so autho rized by him : Sec. 1.

With regard to works which are published in parts, it will be sufficient if the declaration of the author that he reserves the right of translation shall appear in the first part. But with reference to the period of five years, limited by this Article for the exercise of the ex clusive right of translation, each part shall be treated as a separate work, and each part shall be registered arid deposited in the one country within three months after its first publication in the other. ARTICLE IV.

Christy, of Ber mondsey-street, and, although the employers stood aloof from the movement themselves and entertain political opinions somewhat opposed possibly to those of the Ad miral, they at once acquiesced in the wishes of their people, and gave them full permission to follow the bent of their own inclinations. The result was a determines_ tion to present Sir C. Napier with an Admirare hat. It was, as we were informed, a perfectly freewill offering - nthioendws,eayk.spteroepeti7 Southwark,in th e o'clockae iscpepoanloybyNssl from the workpeople. So fair as we could judge, it was a new regulation bat of the best material. It appeared to be a model of correct taste and finish ; the exterior material was beaver, ornamented with the richest gold bullion, and it was lined with blue and white satin. The flagesxparnedssdeed value was probably about 101., and it bore the following inscription :—" Presented to Admiral Sir C. Napier by uwe o i odrp f hvpi u.

Mr. MORRIS, in a tone of earnest feelin g, himself somewhat to this effect :—By the 'kind permis sion of our masters the workmen of this establishment have invited you here to express their admiration of your public services, and the sentiments which are con tained in this address which is about to be presented to you, and which we trust you will do us the honour- to receive.

Permit us to assure you of our hearty wishes for your success ; of your triumphant return we cannot entertain a doubt. The memorable services rendered by you to this country, the weight and worth of your character as an individual, and the broad and liberal principlesfor the defence and triumph of which you are resolved to labour, constitute a claim to the sympathy and support of any earnest and honest con stituency. We hail with delight the prospect that the va cancy created by the lamented death of our late honoured representative will be filled by one so eminently qualified to discharge the obligations of that important position. " We believe that the interests of all classes in the bo rough will bo consulted and promoted by you to your ut most ability ; we doubt not that you will strain every nerve to bring the righteous war in which this great coun try is engaged to a speedy issue —but an issue consistent with British honour and the stability of European freedom —and on these grounds we heartily wish you success. " The workpeople in the above factory being desirousof expressing in a simple and unostentatious mode their ad miration of your character as a British admiral, beg to present you with this naval uniform hat, by your accept ance of which they will feel gratified and honoured. " Signed on behalf of the workpeople. "Nov. 9. " JOHN FARMER." Sir C. NAPIER, in responding to this compliment, assured the gentlemen and ladies present that the honour which they had conferred upon him gave him unqua lified satisfaction, for he did not believe that there was ' an instance upon record of a body of workpeople hav ing ever presented a hat to any member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. He had visited that factory almost a stranger. Although one of the first in which he had shown himself, ho bad been received with scarcely a dissentient voice, and he was proud to think that he had obtained a promise of their votes in preference to a most respectable gentleman who had the advantage of being a neighbour, and of claiming their support upon his knowledge of local interests. (Cheers.) So great had been the encouragement which be bad met with that Mr. Scovell had thought fit to retire, and he really must admit that he owed a debt of gratitude to that gentleman, for when he found that he stood no reason able chance he had in a handsome manner withdrawn and left the field open. Adverting to the subject of the war, which he believed to be all paramount in the thoughts of the people, the gallant Admiral said that he never would consent to put an end to it except in a just and honourable manner, and that it was not for Great Britain now to sue for peace, but for Russia to sue for peace to us, almost upon her knees. He was perfectly convinced that Lord Palmerston would never make a diTr, ceful peace, and protracted cheering.) He thanked the workpeople very much for the handsome hat which they had presented to him (putting it on), and if ever the country should requ're his services, old end decrepit as lie was said to be—(a laugh)--he should ever be ready to give them freely, and that bat he should wear if ever he should have an opportunity of facing the enemy. (Enthusiasm.) Dr. ROBERTS, as the esairman of Sir Charles's central conimittte, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. R. Morris, who occupied the high position among his fellow men of having worked fur 34 years in the employment of the same firm. Mr. Ilessene (from e - body or the crowd) seconded the proposition, and it Was carried unanimously. Hearty cheer:, were given for the Queen. A similar compliment, somewhat modified in amount, was paid with true English vehemence to Sir C. Napier and to the members of Messrs. Christy's firm, and with these demonstrations the proceer'ings terminated. Last night Sir C. Napier presided, by invitation, at a public dinner given in commemoration of the Prince of Wales' birthday by the Welsh Patriotic Society at the Blue Bear, Southwark. On entering the room the, gallant Admiral, who was met by Dr. lingers, the chair man of his committee ; Dr. Joseph, the chairman of the committee on the occasion of the Marylebone election ; and a large body of supporters, was loudly cheered. The company having partaken of an excellent repast, and the cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN gave "The Queen," which was drunk with the usual demonstrations of loyalty. The next toast was "The Health of the Prince of Wales," which veasedrunk with great enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Army and Navy." They all knew that there did not exist a more gallant army on the whole face of creation than the British army, and the devotion they had shown and-the courage they had displayed in the Crimean war, and particularly in the siege of Sebastopol, were such as to endear them for ever to the British nation. (Loud cheers.) Not only had they to fight their enemy, but to endure all the horrors of a winter campaign in a foreign country and a rigorous climate. Their fortitude bad been displayed in the trenches, in cold, in wet, in suffer ings of the moat heartrending nature ; but, though often fiehting up to the middle in water, and enduring hardships that would have annihilated any other than a British army, never for a moment had they swerved, never had the thought of turning back entered their hearts, but with one mind and one soul they had pressed steadily forward, in conjunction with their gallant allies, who could not be too much praised, of the far-famed for' ress of Sebastopol. (Cheers.) With respect to the navy, although it had been the fashion to say that it bad done nothing, and although it was natural to suppose that alter the experience of past wars, in which the British navy had played so important a part, a peopl e should be somewhat disappointed at the absence of any great naval successes, yet when they considered that not a single opportunity of a naval engagement had been afforded them, that the Russian navy bad been confined within inaccessible har bours, that they had even sunk their chips, or suffered them to be destroyed in port, rather than risk an gagement, that her forts had been destroyed, and and coast devastated in consequence, the g good feeling of the Engllsh people wo u t ld he o c o o n c n a s in the to acknowledge that the services of navy y ain them Black Sea had been of the most incalculable importance. he would ask, Then, again, with respect to the B effected more than it what could the British havefleet had ?

Last year, though the Government were mach to blame, they had at least had many excuses. They had just awakened from the lassitude of a long peace. Though a magnificent fleet was placed at his disposal the vessels were not of a description to venture into shallow water for the purpose of destroying naval fortresses. He bad no gun-boats, no means of approach ing the enemy, who skulked behind stone walls. Under these circumstances that campaign ended in the only way which it could be expected to terminate. The ne cessary description of force would at length be placed at the disposal of our naval commanders, and the nett campaign would be distinguished by a victory w or 6° of the naval power of England, and acceptable t whole nation.
