THE MAGAZINES. 1535,' —The firA article i 3 ai3 "The Baltic atid is from the p , AI of the s. , Lme writer wile lately de.crii.);.d to us the position of and its inhabitants, and the general aspect of the Baltic in 1854. Tile picture he draws of the natu ral aspect of the country is not very encouraging. If there was exaggeration in the dangers, he tells us there was none in the unpicturesque and unro mantic character of the Baltic cruises. If it be true, as some have asserted, that the national cha racter is affected by its scenery, the traveller can easily understand how the love of enterprise and daring of the bold Norwegian rocks dies away along the dreary Baltic shores. The writer takes a minute and interesting survey of Cronstadt, which he justly terms a grand and• interesting study. " As a military system of defence," lie says, " it must command our unbounded admiration. As we trace the wonderful and skilful appliances of science then in ; as we see how every means have been enlisted, every resource employed, every sacri fice made, every power and invention brou . lit into action in its construction—we are compelled to recognise and appreciate the skill, the foresight and forethought, the patience, the resolution, the per severance and labour, which have effected such re sults. Baffled as we must feel ourselves to be, when to our longing and searching scrutiny it presents no opening, no weakness, no opportunity — when everywhere we detect the prevailing prin ciple that no point should be left to a single de fence, but that each should be covered, backed, or flanked by some other—still we must feel, also, mingled with our bitterness, a sort of triumph in such perfection of professional art. As a military defence it is indeed a grand effort." " Zaidee" is continued, and this number brings us to a more living interest and a fairer promise of one of our authoress's charming heart-romances than auy we have yet seen. There has hitherto been something dreamy and unreal about Zaidee and her sur roundings; but now both she and Mary step forth, and assume their proper places as recognised hero ines, by the river Thames, and the reader awakes to the charm of a story of domestic life. The " Notes on Canada and the North-west States of America" are continued with interest. The details of canoe travelling are curious. When the Missis sippi is high, the rapidity with which they descend from Crow Wing to St. Paul's is surprising. A hundred miles in eight hours is said to have been accomplished in these waters ; and though the water was unusually low, the traveller's perform ance in one day was eighty miles. The second part of the essay on " The Imperial Policy of Russia " continues the review of the Sovereigns of Russia, and traces the development of their un princ:ipled and aggressive policy to the latter part of the reign of Catherine the Second, an epoch when the intentions of Peter's successors of "sapping the foundations of the civi lised world" were first discovered. The writer promises us another paper on the same subject to bring it to the present era. Mr. 'Warren's edition of " Blackstone's Commentaries" affords a subject for some observations on legal reform and recent alterations. The following paper bears the some what contradictory title of " Modern Light Litera ture—Science." We are in an age of learning, in deed, when science is called light literature. Some .very sensible remarks are made in this article, which also criticises some recent works, among others, Mr. Kingsley's new work of " Glaucus," Mr. Gosse's " Aquarium," Acheta's " Episodes of Insect Life," and other similar works. An article entitled " The War, the Cabinet, and the Confe rences," cannot of course be anything but a vigorous denunciation of the conduct of the Government, and an expression of astonishment and indignation at Lord John Russell's ambassadorial perform ances. " The Story of the Campaign," by the faithful correspondent " in a tent in the Crimea," gives us a graphic description of the conferences and debates, and the unsuccessful attacks on the Malakhoff and Redan. Dublin University.—A great variety is to met with in this number. " Alherico Porro " is con tinued, the events become more striking as the enthusiastic young hero is presented to the " Yen gatori," as the conspirators called themselves, as their future leader.. Many dangers are in store for the daring and impetuous chief. The police and government spies found out his havinc , formed an alliance with the disa ff e cted, and a pretended friend was employed to discover his secrets, and thence to lead on to his ultimate betrayal and ruin. A vivid description is given of the scene in which the Archbishop Romilli entered Milan. Too soon, however, were the rejoicings reversed, and the place of mirth was turned to a scene of carnage. The fierce Austrian soldiers charged upon the peo ple and the sight of their brutality and injustice rendered still more indignant the already excited Porro. " The Fortunes of Glencore "is a strange story, in which a nobleman, owing to some caprice, retired to a lonely ruin, which was all that re mained of the castle of Glencore. Here he fell and an old servant could get no one to send for a doctor or assist him in procuring a conveyance to go himself ; accordingly, he was induced to accept the services of an old hunchback whom he met with. The lordly recluse did not approve of this arrangement, but, bein g c , faint, the improviso doc tor had his own way. He succeeded, however, in restoring the patient, and there seemed some truth i s hi s wsertion that "he had a knowledge of disease, as of nature, by observation." "Oar Sea Songs " contain some interesting remarks on the subject of nasal poetry. It is observed that the king of the sea p oe t s is Dibdin. Herman Melville said that his songs "breathe the very poetry of ocean." El tracts are given of som e of his pieces—" The sweet little cherub that sits up aloft," "The Ship wreck" is presented in an entire form, and it is truly prefaced of it that it is a fine production. A very meritorious composition is brought before the reader's notice at the conclusion of the article, en titled "The Sailor Boy's Grave." It is written in a free and unaffected style, and it displays genuine feeling, expressed in appropriate language " THE SAILOR•BOT'S GRAVE. _ _ _ " Bright, bright were the sailor-boy's dreams in life's morning, When hope with its fairy-forms gilded the way, And a thousand sweet visions of happiness dawning, Were spreading their shadows throughout the long day. - Quick, quick beat his heart at the buoyant bark's motion, For his childhood's first dream—his first love— Were the foam-crested waves of the wide-spreading ocean, With the sun and the sea-bird above. " Soon, soon were his hopes and his fairy-dreams banish'd ; Not long did they gladden his sight; For be sickened, and quickly the light of life vanish'd, Till it wan'd into death's gloomy night. They buried him then in the shroud they had made him, 'Neath his childhood's first dream—his first love— And sea shells are scattered around where they laid him, With the sun and the sea-bird above. " No flowers bloom in beauty; no stone tells his story; No dirge, save the wind and the wave ; No tablet of fame, and no emblem of glory, Are found near the sailor-boy's grave. Yet his head rests iu peace on his coral-rock pillow, 'Neath his childhood's first dream—his first love — And the sun, and the sea-bird, and foam-crested billow, All sparkle in splendour above." " The Dramatic Writers of Ireland" form the sub ject of a seventh sketch, but no notabilities are made mention of in this portion. " Papers on Poetry," of Spanish, romantic, and chivalrous ballads is continued, and a long account is given of the " celebrated ballad of Count Alarcos, which the critics of all countries have agreed in pronounc ing one of the most beautiful and affecting that can be found in any language." " The Bath of the Streams" is a pleasing poem, by Denis Florence M'Carthy. " Mid-day with the Muses" enters in detail on the subject of several new poems that have lately appeared, and there appears great truth in the remark that, among these songs, there have not been any lyrics that are likely to be im mortal in our literature, and to be handed down to our children's children, like " Hohenlinden," " The Battle of the Baltic," and the old sea songs. "Forest Trees" is an article that imparts useful and interesting information on its peculiar subject, and it is made pleasing by illustrations in verse. Bentley's Miscellany.—The first article relates the progress of the war, and the siege operations of the last month. A similar paper, entitled " A Russian Romance," gives us a Russian account of the Battle of Inkerman. It is curious to compare the narrations. The Russian chronicler's chief ob ject, next to exalting the national character, ap pears to be to excite jealousy between the Allies. This pamphlet consists of a series of mis- statements, but as the writer justly observed, " facts are stub born things, and the succession of atrocities of which the Russians have been guilty, commencing at Odessa and terminating at Hango, speak more to their natural character than all the studied apologies they put forth to the world." The first part of a tale by Dudley Costello, entitled " The Prison Van" is not of unusual merit. The inci dent from A which i derives its title, though some what improbable, is sufficiently ludicrous. A very pert young foreigner mistakes a prison van for an omnibus, and insists on his admission. The readers of Mr. Harrison Ainsworth's last English stor y will be interested in the description of the revival of the time-honoured " Custom of Dun mo,,,, the bestowal of the Flitch of B a c o n, which of late years has fallen into desuetude. A passage in the life of the late Czar describes the narrow escape he once had of his life in journeying from Rome, attended b y a Polish guard of honour. A Pole was suddenly left alone in a deserted spot by the side of the Emperor, who as beeping i n an .. :~.; •; ~: TILE SUN' s LONDON, TIVITRS DAY EY.ENIII6-, AITGITSr 2, 1855. open carriage, and felt strongly tempted to avenge his country'; misfortune by plungig his sword in Pro , ings by Monkshoo(l criticise Samuel " 11 - 2] . th , e': Times," i;u(1 a nollee of n ot v e ry corn men, atory t f tine p.liner. A ni-moir of Mar , bal St. Arnaud will excite interest, though it is not in all respects satisfactory. The adventures of Ben jamin Bobbin are continued, and a pr.pr on the " Twin Castles of the Crimea," Mangup Kalah and Fufud Kalah conclude the number. Colburn,'s .I\ 7 etv Monthly.—For some months past this magazine has been taking a successive review of the military strength and peculiarities of all the European states. Those of Austria, Russia, and Prussia have been respectively considered, and tins month the first paper describes to us the armies of the smaller German Powers. At' the present moment all such information is of v a lue, and will interest even the uninitiated. "A Day in the Desert" transports us into another hemisphere, and bids us forget the turmoils of civilised existence in the soli tude of the Egyptian sands. " The Comforters" is a pleasing and pathetic story. It relates the for. tunes of a sculptor, and takes its title from his chief work, a representation of Sleep, Death, and Time. " The Last Visit to the Trysting Place" is the name of some melodious and mournful verses, by Mary Monck. "The History of Stoke Dotte rell" is continued, and leaves the heroine in a very uncomfortable position. " The Diary of a First Winter in Rome" hasnow reached Easter week, and we should therefore surmise it must soon approach its conclusion. Some of the incidents of Italian life are interesting. A paper on "I. 3 hilarbte Chasles," a French essayist, gives an entertaining account of the opinions of . our neighbours on our literature. The present critic's writings display great judgment and ability. The extraordinary story of " The Reception of the Dead," is con cluded. The idea of the dressed-up corpse is a painful and revolting one, and quite destroys the charm lingering around the peaceful deathbed of youth and. beauty. The papers on " The Eighteenth Century," are continued, and now describe the state of political feeling which had then attained a degree of violence and intensity quite unknown in our calmer days. " Sketches of the Italian Revo lution," by an eye-witness, relates the ineffectual struggle and pourtrays the miserable condition to which the people are now reduced under Austrian surveillance. " Lyrics," by T. Westwood, do not display any unusual merit. Colbunes United Serriee.—An interesting and friendly "Memoir of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan," accompanied by a well-executed portrait, opens the number. The memoir would have been none the worse had the writer been inspired to a greater extent with the magnanimous spirit of the deceased veteran. "Adventures at the taking of Kertch " is a lively paper by an assistant-surgeon present on the occasion. In conjunction with it should be read an historical and descriptive sketch of Kertch, subsequently given. " The War in the East"— The writer, among other things, suggests the pro bability of the selection of Balaklava having been unfortunate, since its proximity determined the nature of the attack on Sebastopol, which has turned out not to have been the best. If a verti cal fire cau be maintained so as to drive the enemy from their works, he is of opinion the attack on the Malakhoff and Redan may be successful ; and should the present system fail, inquires whether it would not be advisable to try and starve the place by interposing an army between it and Perekop. The number contains its usual variety of profes sional articles, news, and remarks. North British Review.—The claims of Newton are analysed with some little rigidity in the open ing article. Sir Isaac's fame rests, we are told, on a tripod, the feet of which are fluxions, optics, and gravitation, and of these the second alone is damaged. The evidence appears conclusive as to his religious creed—he was a Unitarian. A care ful review of fife of Sir E. Bulwer's novels marks most of the blots as well as beauties of that dis tinguished author. "The Political Reformation of Holland," inaugurated by William of Orange, and to which, owing to our intercourse with the Dutch in the 16th and 17th centuries, we are so much indebted, is the subject of an article deserv ing a thoughtful perusal. " The System of Pur chase in the Army " is defended, and that of pro motion by merit declared impracticable in an in conclusive, not to say sophistical paper. Besides the above, there are several articles of more or less merit, including one in reference to Mrs. Norton's remarkable letter. The British Quarterly.—Jackson and Walford. —A slashing article on " Ethnological Researches," an American work, contending, among other things, for several creations, is followed by a somewhat rabid paper on " The Know Nothings and Ameri can Prospects," and an interesting notice of "The Genius and 'Writings of Young," not the poet, but the distinguished savant, who first established the undulatory theory of light, and penetrated the ob- Parity which had veiled for ages the hieroglyphics of Egypt. Among the subjects treated in the re maining articles, are " Administrative Reform," and " Russian Aggression and British Statesman ship," elaborate papers of considerable merit, in which the urgent necessity of the one is tardily admitted, and execution is cordially 'done on the other two. Irish Qicar•terly. W. B. Kelly, Dublin.—Th.., first will be found not the least interesting paper. It is entitled " The Poets of America," and is a praiseworthy attempt to supply a desideratum — viz., a collective review of the Atherican poets, with illustrations, which will enable the reading public to form some conception of their positive and rela tive merits and demerits. The poets reviewed are —Longfellow, Bryant, Sigourney, and Holmes, to whose genius ample and unreluctant tribute is paid. The continuation of " A Memoir of John Banim " contains the fifth and best act of his tra gedy of Sylla. " The Romance of Life," a true story on which some of the principal incidents in " Monk Christi," are said to be based, " The Militia and the Line," a paper containing useful suggestions, and a review of "The Life and Sketches of Sheil," are the best of the remaining contributions. The Westminster Review.—A characteristic no tice of Spinoza and his oOlions is followed by a high-toned article on " International Immc rality," in which a heavy onslaught is made on oar foreign policy of late years, and the immoral exnecliency of our statesmen. Of secresy it is well said that " Secret government is certain to be mis-govern ment, and secret diplomacy to abound with crooked ness. " Teetotalism "is subjected to a masterly analysis, and most of its teachings shown to be er roneous and absurd in a lengthy article, well worthy, however, of perusal. Abstinence from intoxicating liquors may, in certain circumstances, be a duty, but misrepresentation and false teaching never are. " The Decline of Party Government" may be read with advantage by Administrative Re formers. It will servo to awaken them to the vast ness, but not hopelessness, of the task before them, and the best means of grappling with it.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, The Sarah Palmer, an iron ship, of 1,440 tone, in tended for the Indian trade, and built for Messrs. Jones, Palmer, and Co,, of Liverpool, was launched from the Bank-quay Foundry, at Warrington, yesterday, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators. The fol lowing are her dimensions :—Length of keel, 210 feet ; and between perpendiculars, 225 feet ; and over all, 235 feet ; breadth of beam, 3fii feet ; depth of hold, 23 feet. She is named after the youngest daughter of one of the owners, who performd the baptismal ceremony. She arrived this morning at Liverpool, where she will be rigged and prepared for sea. Her first destination is Calcutta. The Fiery Cross, a clipper ship of 800 tons, was also launched yesterday from the building-yard of Messrs. Rennie, Johnson, and Rankin, Brunswick Dock, Liver pool, in the presence of the owners, MessrA. John and James Campbell, of Glasgow. The Fiery Cross is in tended for the China trade, and is one of the finest ships ever built in the Mersey. Her length of keel is 165 feet ; length over all, 200 feet ; rake of stern, 9 feet : breadth of beam, 30 feet ; and depth of hold, 19 fe , t. The christening ceremony was performed by Miss Mal colm, of Liverpool. Both launches were successful, no accident having oc curred on either occasion. The Royal Charter, a new screw steamer, of ,785 tons, built for the new Australian Steam Navigation Co. (for whom Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., are mana- ' gers), was attempted to be launched yesterday, at Sandi croft, near Queen's Ferry, on the River Dee, but after receiving her name from Mrs. Samuel Bright, she glided from her stays, and as soon as her helm reached the water's edge, she became immovably fixed, to the great chagrin and disappointment of thousands of spectators. The cause of the untoward event was the ground having given way under her starboard side, causing her to hang in ber ways. This being the case the first high tide will probably set her afloat. The Royal Charter is 350 feet Lens, 411 feet beam, 26i feet deep, while her cabin is 100 feet in length. She is fitted to carry 56 first cabin and 590 second and third cabin passengers. Her engines are 350-horse power, and occupy the space of 350 tons. She has capacity for 5,500 gallons of water in a tank. The Coromine, intended for the East Indian trade, and owned by Messrs. Thos. Brocklebank and Co., of Liver , pool, wag safely launched at Whitehaven yesterday. EAST IN - DIA. COMPANY'S FAREWELL DINNER TO VISCOUNT CANNING. Yesteclay evening all the resources of the Louden Tavern were orougLt into requisition to do honour to Viscount C,l:nurig . , the occasion being the etnAoleary farewell banquet of the Honourable East India Com pany to their newly-appointed Governor-General, pre vious to his departure for India. The banquet was of the most magnificent description, and more than ordi nary pains lad been taken to make the decorations worthy of the occasion. The staircases were all richly carpetted and lined on each side with rare exotics, and the reception-room in which the guestS first assembled was quite regal in its appearance. The magnificent carpet, which had been manufactured at Tourney ex pressly for the Duke of Buckingham, on the occasion of the Queen's visit to Stowe, covered the floor, and the niches were filled with rare statuary, alternated with the choicest products_ of the conservatory. The grand saloon was brilliantly illuminated with wax, and the tables were covered with rid and silver plate of elaborate workmanship. A pleasing proof of the advantage of more intimate interceur , e with France, the chosen land of taste, was given in the abun dance and graceful arrangement of the floral decorations, every table being abundantly supplied with natural flowers, fancifully arranged, and giving in their bright colours and fresh perfume a delightful and novel effect to the arrangements. The dinner itself was worthy of such accessories, and the wines comprised all the rare vintages which Mr. Bathe prudently reserves for great occasions, such as the state dinners of the honourable company. The company was exceedingly numerous and distin guished, and among the principal guests we noticed : Viscount Canning, the Lord Chancellor, Duke of Argyll, Marquis of Lansdowne, K.G., Earl of Harrowby, Vis count Palmerston, G.C.8., Viscount Hardinge, G.C.8., Earl Granville, Deputy Chairman, Marquis of Clanri carde, Earl Cowper, Earl Somers, Earl Bruce, Viscount Sydney, Right Hon. Vernon Smith, Mr. Mills, Viscount Duncan, Lord Panniure Lord Stanley of Alderley, Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, Bart., G.C.8., Right Hon. W. E, Gladstone, Right Hon. Sir E. Ryan, Knt., Right Hon. - Sir C. Wood, Bart., Right Hon. Sir W. Moleswortb, Bart., Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, Bart., Vice Chancellor Page Wood, Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. Pollock, G.C.8., Sir J. Mel vill, K.C.8., Viscount Monck, Mr. Ellice, Viscount Dungarvan, Lord Wodehouse, Lord Redesdale, Lord De Tabley, Right Hon. J. S. WOrtley, Right Hon. E. Hors man, Sir James Weir Hogg, Bart., Sir J. Doveton, K.C.8., Col. Sir F. Abbot, C. 8., Hon. W. F. Cowper, Hon. F. L. Gower, Mr. Bayley, Sir G. Couper, Bart., Sir T. Redington, K.C.8., Col. Sir P. Cautley, K.C.8., Sir H. Willock, K.L.S., J. H. Astell, Esq., E. Thorn ton, Esq., Right Hon. W. G. Hayter, Vice-Chancellor Kiudersley, Mr. Shepherd, Sir F. Currie, Bait., Major- General Sir H. M. Wheeler, K.C.8., Major-General Sir F. Smith, K. 11., Mr. Smith, and Mr. Mangles. On the removal of the cloth, the CIIAIR3IAN (Elliot M`Naghten, Esq., chairman of the Company) gave, with appropriate observations, the healths of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family, after which he proczeded to give the toast of the evening, the health of - V iscount Canning, the newly-appointed Go vernor-General of India. He said that the office to which Lord Canning had just been called was not only one of the highest importance, but he believed there was no office under the crown in the possession of which so much personal power and responsibility was necessarily vested. (Hear.) Being an office, the due administration of which involved the happiness of millions of human beings, it would be impossible to exaggerate the great re sponsibility of its duties. Under such circumstances the selection of a Governor-General should be made with the greatest care and circumspection, and the directors considered that they had fulfilled both those conditions by appointing Lord Viscounteanning to the office. (Loud cheers.) His lordship had filled various high offices in this country to the satisfaction of the country, the Par liament, and the Sovereign, and he (the chairman) was sure vvotrld carry to India the administrative ability, diligence, and discretion which had won him such golden opinions in his native euuntry. (Hear.) The highest thing he could hope for his noble friend was that he might turn out to be a worthy successor to Lord Dalhousie, ac quire the same intimate knowledge of India, exhibit the same diligence in his government, and the same ardent desire to promote the welfare of the people. (Loud cheers.) In short, he (the chairman) trusted that while they changed the head of the government, the principle of government would be the same, and that Lord Canning in his new office would worthily emulate the love of India, the zeal, and the ability of his illustrious father. (Cheers ) The late Mr. Canning took a deep interest in everything that concerned India, served four and a half years at the B iard of Control, and was at last nominated to the high office of Governor-General, But England could not spare him, and India was compelled 'to forego the promised advantages of his great ability for govern ment. There was every reason to hepe that their noble guest would prove the worthy son of such afatlier, and that his administration would be attended with the most beneficial and prosperous results. (Hear.) All the company would, he was sure, cordially join with him (the chairman) in the hope that Providence would endow Lord Canning with health and strength, ably to perform his duties, and afterwards a long and happy career on his return to his native country. In conclu sion he had only to say that the concurrent opinion in England and India was that the appointment of Lord Canning was a measure tending to the consolidation of our empire in the latter country, to the advance of the social, moral, and intelleetual interests of its people, to the development of their commercial resources, and the increased reputation of the British name. (The toast was received with loud and general cheering.) Lord CANNING-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the board of directors, I am deeply sensible of the kind and flattering manner in which this toast has been proposed, and of the encouraging reception which has been gives to it by your guests. It is never an easy task adequately and becomingly to express one's thanks for kindness which far exceeds one's merit and expectation, more es pecially when the favour conferred carries with it an amount of trust and responsibility which the boldest could hardly look upon without alarm. (Hear, hear.) Were I to give utterance to all my feelings in acknow ledging your kindness I should lay myself open to the suspicion of wishing to dwell on matters agreeable to myself, of putting out of sight the more serious ceremo nial of the morning, and of forgetting the weighty cares which must soon follow in the prosecution of the trust with which I have been honoured, and of which the bare apprehension is sufficient to crush any rising emotion of gratified vanity or ambition. (Hear, hear.) But I am not open to any such charge. I can :truly say that the kindness which I have received from you, Mr. Chairman, and from your colleagues, has not created any delusion as regards myself, for whether I look at the magnitude of the task that awaits me, or the talents of the dis tinguished men who have been my predecessors, I am painfully sensible of how inadequate the labourer is to the great work which your kindness has placed in his hands. (Cheers.) I know not what may have been the feelings of others, on former occasions like the present, arid filling the situation which now I have the honour to fill, but for myself I can now say with truth, that the compliments and congratulations t have from time to time received on this event have seemed to me to be hardly suitable to so serious an occasion. (Hear.) I am not ashamed to confess that there are moments in which I am tempted to shrink from the responsibility that await me, while I hope that such a feeling is not incompatible with au honest and faithful determination to discharge my duty. (Loud cheers.) I am certain that it is not inconsistent with the determination to de vote all the energies of my mind, every minute and every hour of my time, every thought and every inspironion to the discharge of those pledges which I have this day accepted at your hands. (Hear, hear.) Sir, it would be ungrateful in me did I fail to admit that there were some considerations that tended to reassure me, and to encourage me in the hope that I may be the instrument of some usefulness in the sphere to which my destinies are about to be transferred. You have al ready assured me this day of what you rightly described as the generous confidence and co-operation of the Court of Directors. I thank you for that assurance, and I rely on it implicitly, for I know that the body of which you are the head are, wherever they bestow their coufislen se, no niggards in supporting those who serve them honestly and faithfully. (Cheers.) I feel that I can also rely on the cordial support and sympathy of my noble friend at the head of the Government, and of all those colleagues with whom I have had the proud satisfaction of serving as a Minister of the Crown ; but above all I delight in the co-operaticn—for on that I must daily and hourly rely— of those two admirable bodies, the civil service and the army of India. (Loud cheers.) I hardly know whether there is any feature of our Government, any portions of our institutions upon which Englishmen may look with more honest exultation, than those two noble branches of our Indian service. (Renewed cheers.) The men of those branches have done much for the advance ment of India, and have sent forth from their ranks men who were efficient in war and peace, in numbers of which any monarchy in Europe might be proud, and who have rescued their countrymen from the imputation for merly, and not unjustly, leveled against them of dealing sometimes too harshly with those whom they were bound to succour and protect. Sir, it is the possession of such men that enables you to exhibit a spectacle unequalled in the world's history, that of 150,000,000 of people sub mitting in peace and contentment in a country teeming with wealth to the Government of strangers and aliens. But your yoke is so easy, and the security so great, that there is no government of a native prince that can for a moment compare with it. (Hear.) With such choice of in struments for the person in whom, with the sanction of the crown, is vested the chief responsible government of India, there can be no excuse for failure or shortcoming. He has but to choose fearlessly, without favour, on public, not private grounds, and he is sure to be well served. It is perhaps no great boast to make, but I may sate that I leave these shores unencumbered by a single promise or pledge to any expectant, and that I have no claims to meet on those posts of trust and honour of which you make me the repository, except those of persons who shall prove themselves best able by their talents, charac ter, and experience efficiently to serve their adopted country. (Cheers.) I know that the members of the two services to which I have alluded will unreservedly give me their aid, and cheerfully respond whenever I call them into council. I know not what course events may take ; I hope and pray that we may not reach the ex tremity of war ; I wish for a peaceful time of office, but I cannot forget that in our Indian empire, that greatest of all blessings depends upon a greater variety of chances and a more precarious tenure than in any other quarter a toe diminished burst cer tainly of the globe. We mu s t not forget that in the sky of India, serene as it i s, a small cl oud may arise at first no bigger than a mar's h and, bu t which, growing gradually larger and lar, over whelm us with ruin. What has happ ene d once may hap pen e il a , b g ai u n t they are not dispelled. We h ave s till die . Theg er, disturbingm ay at last causes threaten have Contented and heterogeneous peoples united under our sway ; we have still neighbours before whom we cannot altogether lay aside our watchfulness, and we have a frostier configuration that render it possible that in any quarter, at any moment, causes of collision may arise. ltesitlee, so intricate are our relations with some subsi diary staees, that I doubt whether in an empire so vast and so situated, it is in the power of the wisest govern ment, the most peaceful and the most forbearing, to com mand peace. But if we cannot command, we can at least deserve it, by taking care that honour, good faith, and fair dealing are on our side ; and then if, in spite of us, it should become necessary to strike a blow, we can strike with a clear conscience. (Hear, hear.) With blows so dealt the struggle must be short and the issue - not doubtful. (Hear, hear.) But I gladly dismiss froni my mind apprehensions that may not be realised, and joyfully recognise a large arena of peaceful use fulness, in which I hope for your kind assistance and co-operation. The maintenance of the revenue oa a solid and wholesome looting, the extension of pub lic works, and the completion of those lines of social and commercial intercourse now in progreSs wilLbe objects well worthy of our attention—those great operations ne ces,ary to protect us from the dread effects of drought— and lastly, the education of the native population, and as a neceaeary consequence the opening to them of public employments—all these things present a large field for peaceful, triumph, long enough for a life, great enough for the most insatiable ambition. In such a field, English men may be giants for good or for evil ; but for my part I shall be well content to take up the course which has been commenced by Lord Dalhousie, and if pos , ible to carry out his views. (Hear.) The tribute which has been paid to my noble friend is no more than his due, for against trials and discouragements of which the world knows little, he discharged his arluotts duties with an ability, constancy, and courage which are beyond all praise, making both you, gentlemen, and the people of India largely his debtors. (Hear.) I must not sit down without returning for myself, as an individual, my ac knowledgements for the very gratifying allusion which you, sir, have made to times long gone by, when it ap peared probable that the name which lam proud to bear might become identified with the government of our Indian empire. The topic is one to which I should not have. adverted, as the event referred to occurred more than 30 years since ; but since you have alluded to it, I will take leave to say that the recollection of that event is an inspiration as strong as would rouse the energy of any man in his struggle for success, and that I shall in deed consider there is a blessing on my work, if it be granted to me to justify by my own acts the preference that has been shown to the name I bear, and to vindi cate my right to bear it. (Cheers.) I have no occasicn to detain longer you, sir, or the guests who have listened to -me with so much indulgence, except by repeating my thanks for the kind aed very en couraging reception I have met with, and to couple my thanks with the expression of an earnest hone that when the time has arrived when it shall be my duty to render up my trust, I may be able to re vert to this time and these marks of confidence without feeling that they were either undeserved or misplaced. The noble lord having again thanked the chairman and company, restaled his seat amid loud cheers. The next tont was "The Army and Navy." Sir C. Wool) and Lord HARDINGE respectively re turned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave " Her Majesty's Ministers." Lord PALMERsTON, in returning thanks, observed that although at all times the responsibility of administering the affairs of this country was great, it bad never been greater than at the present moment. But there was one part of the empire in which the cares of both Sovereign anti Ministers were light— and that was the portion ad mini,tered by the gentlemen at whose hospitable board they were then assembled. (Cheers.) He congratulated the Court of Directors on their selection, and said it was a great gratification to his noble friend's colleagues to know that although they were deprived of his society, he was about to he removed to a sphere of such extended usefulness. Having warmly eulogised Lord Canning's ability, firmness, and aptitude for the Government of a great empire, the noble lord remarked upon the cur ous fact that whereas of old ail civilisation came from India through Egypt, now we, who were then barbarians, were bringing back civilisation and enlightenment to the parent source. Perhaps it might be our fate to confer un the countless millions of India a higher and holier gift then a...y mere human knowledge, but that must be left to the• bands of time and the gradual improvement of the people. (Cheers.) The noble viscount concluded by proposing, with a warm eulogium, "The Health of the Chairman." Tne CHAIRMAN returned thanks. The next toast was " The Board of Control." Mr. V. SMITH returned thanks. The last toast was " The Health of the Earl of Dal housie," shortly after which the company broke up. Mr. Toole acted as toastmaster. MR. URQ UHART A T GLOUCESTER. A. public meeting was head on Tuesday evening at Gloucester on the subject of the war with Russia, and it being announced that Mr. Urquhart would attend, there was a large attendance, Mr. Dawes presided. Mr. UnQuitaßT spoke for two hours, reviewing the antecedents to the present war, which, he said, was wag ing on the question, whether Russia should have more than four men of war in the Black Sea. Having asserted that the English troops were for two months within two days' march of the Russian army, without daring to meet them, he was met by loud cries of "No, no," from the body of the room. He explained he did not doubt the willingness of the troops to fight, but, unfortunately, we had combined the cowardly heart of the masters and the willingness of the servants. Other statemeras made by the speaker having been met by a negative from the body of the room, a cry of "Turn him out" was raised. This was met by a challenge to "Try it on," which was not accepted, and Mr. Urquhart proceeded. He declared our position in the Crimea to be hopeless, and main tained that the Turkish squadron was left at Sinope by the English authorities for the express purpose of being destroyed by the Russians. Discussion having been invited, Mr. JEFFS, a clerk at the Gloucester Docks, dis puted several of the stat..ments made by Mr. Urquhart, who he said had abused the Parliament ; but what, he asked, had he (Mr. Urquhart) done when he sat in the house ? The fact was Mr. Urquhart was greatly angered against the Government, because he had not got a place under it. (Laughter.) In the midst of the speaker's remarks a dog fight arose, which appeared to have peculiar charms for a large number of the auditors who quickly crowded round the canine combatants. Mr. Urquhart having replied to Mr. Jeffs, Mr. S. BOWLEY addressed the meeting. Mr. Urqu hart, he said, had condemned all their public men, but he had not told them where they were to find others whom they could bepend upon, and who would impeach the traitors. However, whether Mr. Urquhart was right or wrong in his views, all honour was due to him for coming forward in the dischargo of what he con sidered to be his duty, and, therefore, he moved a vote of thanks to him. This, to: ether with a vote of thanks to the chairman, was carried, and the meeting broke up. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Tns WAR IN TH3 EAST. —POWERF LI PATENT ItacoNNorriase GLASSES.— Messrs. S. and B.

There is nothing col lective in mind. Each man thinks alone, feels alone, lives individually by the organism of a separate and independent animal ecohomy. The mask of the anonymous gives to mere reason the -calm and dis- passionate weight of casuistry, unalloyed by the disturb ing forces of personal and private considerations. But the language of the heart, the electric sympathy which rushes from soul to soul, is best transmitted through the current of individual impulse. I would here stand face to face with each one of you. I would reach you all by reaching each of you. I desire to collect the sum and aggregate of public opinion, by standing foot to foot, and gazing eye to eye, on the platform of each man's moral and mental condition. Forget that you are mere news paper readers. This is no time nor theme for mere news mongery. Paul tells us that the fickle and frail Athenians ran about their city, idly careless of their fate, and crying agape with mere curious wonder, "What news l" The glory of Greece departed from all her isles, and the sons of heroes and philosophers became the slaves and pandars to the vices of her barbarous, but strong-handed conquerors. If you but hear with the mere itching ear of prurient curiosity the muttering perils and the din of war which encompass us—if your eye, but not your mind's eye, looks out from the watchtower of time, upon the cloud no bigger than a man's hand, and the dust of the wilderness belo,v and before you, as if "seeing, you did not understand' ) — I would call to you from this keep of mine to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the omens and. portents that even now are gathering around us—and to interpret which demands the inspiration of the wisest of our sooth- sayers and the most far-seeing of our augurs. I would speak to you as man to man. Now and here I would make my - confession, and record my conviJicMS, in stincts were against this war. My political and doctrinal associations all condemned it. I saw the waste of life, of money, the check to material progress, the arrest of moral progress, which it was to induce. I looked upon the sixty millions of Russian serfs, slowly emerging out of the Scythian barbarism and Serbonian bog, the un kempt wildness of hyperborean savagery, into a glimpse of European civilisation ; and, looking on them as a large section of the human race, and of my own kind, whom in their degree I was charged, by the dictates of Catholic religious duty to serve as occasion per mitted, I pondered the sins and miseries of war— .. .. my share in the responsibility of declaring it. My prejudices are all opposed to the inflated quackery of Red Republican refugees and Socialist attorney-generals for the whole human race. I have an awkward leaning to , the shrewd growl of Dr. Johnson, " Sir, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel !" I dread. •‘ magnificent perorations." lam not partial to magniloquence of any kind. I have been reluctantly dragged by my convic tions out of the current of my prevailing tendencies. My sense of duty has banished me from the paradise of my historical associations, my party feelings, my economical crotchets. To say the truth, I was not the more disposed to regard the war with favour than in its advocacy I would "pursue the triumph and partake the gale of popular opinion. You and my colleagues saw more clearly, and made me see—you felt more naturally, strongly, deeply, and brought me to the direction and healthier sympathies of my countrymen. I do now regret the deep sense of responsibility which weighed upon my conscience as one charged to form public opinion, and which drew back my hand from giving an impulse to the war-cry which would leave " many a sweet babe fatherless, and many a widow mourning.' But you and I have looked at facts—hard, working-day, inexorable facts ---not at sentimental delicacies of fancy, rose- water dispen sations of Providence, love in a cottage, dreams, and nail enial visions. Poland --persecuted, prostrate, exanimated. Italy—bleeding, crouching, scourged, in chains. Hun gary—crushed, quelled, outlawed, proscribed. Greece, " but livingC reece no more." Servia, Circassia, Moldavia, Wallachia, Asia Minor—all being sucked into the vortex of Russian despotism and German intrigue and oppres sion. Bourbonism plotting in Spain and France to mas ter the ascendancy for legitimacy over Europe, and even now selling its soul to the devil of Muscovy in return for its aid in reconquering its last hold on France. Mus covy, at length swollen into " the Holy Russian em pire," a seventh part, it is said, of the habitable globe, gradually approaching the Mediterranean through the mouths of the Danube and the Dardanelles, by means of coasting fortresses on the Black Sea, and getting nearer and nearer the frontier of the Baltic by Finland con quests, until (Sweden and Norway conquered) her ad vanced posts would be within two days' sail of our English coasts. . Her fleets and fortresses, "a stand ing menace to Europe," she strengthens and in creases. Her army of a million fighting men, not even pretended to be needed for defence, can have no alterna tive function but that of a further career of "battle, mur der, and sudden death,"an organised curse to humanity— a perpetual threat to Europe—a re itless, inexorable mis chief to the world—ever ready to help bigotry to quash tree thought, and despotism to extinguish the aspirations of civil liberty. Her tyrant proposes to plan a burglary upon Turkey, asks us to watch at the door while he ruts a pistol at the Sultan's bead, and offers us a share of the " swag." We ask him to renounce the theft.

To say the truth, his agents among our selves have not been more mealy-mouthea than himself.

Austria and Prussia have cheated our diplomacy, and are now, to all intents and purposes, his allies and his tools, by the influence of that commu nity of interest which, by " fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind." The two greatest and most powerful nations in the world have been at war with him for nearly two years. Hitherto his resistance and defence have been successful. " Alone he did it." He has re jected all our terms of peace. Our Aberdeen Govern ment were traitors to us from the beginning, and its leading members have, byj speech and vote iu every division, given the lie to their acts as an administration, and laboured in the interest of the enemy. Their suc cessors are openly charged with having entertained with favour Lord John Russell's scheme for saving our bacon by poltroonery, The Opposition are false, hollow, and factious, plotting with the Peace Party to weaken the Administration, and to gain power for the purpose, finally, of patching up an ignominious defeat by a paper reconciliation. L e t that once be, and Prussia Austria, and Russia will run together like drops of water, France will be recovered to the Fusionists, Turkey will be in the hands of th e C zar , and England—where will England be ? Your statesmen have crowned their in competency by cowardice, and excused their cowardice by going to Vienna to be swindled. Your representa tives have been false to the mission on which you seat them. There are none true, loyal, and trustworthy but yourselves. The House of Commons, professing to re gist a. your decrees, has frittered away your cause, and held the brief for the enemy. Pretending to denounce Ministers for a want of vigour, the Opposition, by speech and vote, have refused to grant the supplies necessary to the successful prosecution of the war, and left Govern ment only a majority of three on the questionof the Turk ish guarantee. They deal dishonestly by us—"anxious to wound and yet afra dto striae." They leave you in the most dangerous of all positions—that ofan uncertain po licy at the critical conjunction ofa great European war. To yourselves alone, therefore, you and I must look—you who earn tie sinews of the battle and bear the burden of its taxes—you who recruit our armies, fight our victories, who look on death with grim calmness " i' the imminent deadly breach"--who compete with each other to be drawn for the forlorn hope, who made the charge at Bala !:lava, and stood like a rock against the sea spray a t lukerman, each hero beating back ten Russians, and slaying twice his own number ore he slept upon the gory field his sword had conquered—" for England, home, and beauty." The wonders of moral and material pro gress enable you weekly to read this paper in the camp, the trenches, on the plain, or in the fleet. Whil e every where else there has been faction, selfishness, treachery, cowardice, or stupidity, the masses, the military, and the navy have sustained the grandeur of the national charac 6r, borne out the heroism of our traditions, risen in their self-sacrifice, their nobleness,their massive magnanimity of conduct "above all Greek, beyond all Roman fame." Men in England ! your comrades in the Crimea need succour, can you hesitate ? The Czar is sending his enormous armies to crush, to overwhelm, to delete them from the face of the very earth. Will you " grossly gape on" and see your countrymen made the victims of the drunken fiends whom the Czar would make their butchers ? You who read this, remember that they fight for you, that their " limbs were bred in England,' that they are your brothers, sons, fathers, neighbours, fellow citizens. It needs but your help to rescue them from peril, and crown their and your courage with glorious victory. Look not on this as an ordinary enlistment. Think not the country but needs you in the barrack as a calling, a mere portion of the routine of state and society. The very fate of your country trembles in the balance.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOOD WOOD RACES.—WEDICESDAY. The weather presented a very agreeable change— heavy rain and drizzling mists being succeeded by genial sunshine and a clear atmosphere, which had an inspirit ing effect on the sport, and imparted additional life and gaiety to the attractive scene ; but, although the wea ther continued favourable during the greater part of the day, the attendance of company fell short of an average. The comparative smallness of the field for the Good wood Stakes did not disappoint expectation. Some sur- prise was, however, occasioned by the withdrawal of Homily and Goorkah at the last moment, the former having come into increased favour on the previous day, and so strong a disposition having been manifested to-day to back the latter that he advanced to 12 and 10 to 1. Quiu.ce and Epaminondas were pretty equal favourites at starting, but the former won easily by a length. The inglorious exhibition which St. Hubert made for the Sweepstakes. of 300 sovs each, has apparently des- troyed all confidence in his chance for the St. Leger. Oulston experienced no difficulty in galloping away from Dr. Cooke in the Drawing-room Stakes. He was immediately afterwards supported with considerable spirit at evens against the field for the Cup. This flow of favour was, however, in a short time checked by the opposition of a strong prejudice, and he went back to to 1, but before the ring broke up he returned to 7 to 4 taken. The prejudice seems to have its source in the fact that many persons deem him scarcely sound in wind. Towards the close of the proceedings the sky became overcast, and during the race for the 300 sovs Sweep stakes, between Besika and Treachery, a sharp shower fell. Subjoined is a correct return of the racing : Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each ; twoqr-olds, Est 31b ; three, Bst ; four, Bst 81b ; five, Bstl2lb ; six and aged, 9st ; mares and geldings allowed 31b.

THE RACE. Immediately after starting Pumicestone took the lead, with Newbold second and Quince third, Surgeon,Gene ral and Fulbeck close together, heading the ruck. On turning out of the straight Pumicestone was still seen in possession of the lead, with Newbold second; Fulbeck, Sultan, Quince, and Surgeon-General follow ing in the _ order named. When near the Caravan course starting-post, Sultan ran into the second place, and in making the bend, Pumicestone dropped back, leaving him with the lead and Surgeon-General in close attendance ; the latter quickly showed in advance, and in going up the hill Qui nce p asse d S u lt an , whilst Epa minondas drew into the fourth place, and after a tew strides became third. Hervine, meanwhile, began to lesien very distinctly the interval between her and the leading horses. Descending the hill into the straight, Quince took up the running ; but by a judicious pull he was held in reserve for his finishing effort, and Surgeon- General again went to work with the load, Hervine going in third. At the distance, however, Quince came up next the rails, took ground in front without any difficulty, and galloping on with the lead won very easily by a length, Hervine beating Surgeon General for the second money by halt a length ; a length between third and fourth. Sultan was fifth, Epaminondas sixth, Baalbeo seventh, Ivan eighth, and Pumicestone ninth. New bold pulled up, and did not pass the post. Value of the stakes, 1,015 sovs. . .

ENCROACHMENTS ON VICTORIA PAHL—The last rei port of the Select Committee on Public Petitions in- cludes one from the ratepayers of St. Leonard's, Shore ditch, complaining of the enclosure of a considerable portion of Victoria Park for building purposes, which, when completed, will increase the nuisance arising from smoke and lessen the area intended for healthful recrea tion, besides diminishing the salubrity of the adjacent Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. The petitioners state that, although 290 acres of land were bought, there are only 250 in the area of the park, leaving 40 acres in the outskirts for building. purposes. The number of persons for whose benefit this park was opened amounts to 550,000, and the petitioners earnestly pray that the in tended encroachment may be prevented. The was presented Sir W. Clay, M.P. for the T v_i en er Hamlets. It is signed by Mr. Death, the churehf!!l:_d of and chairman of the meeting, and is dated the via' July, 1855. The-peti tion .! - 0 I
