Charles Gore, C. 8., lately in command of the troops in Canada ; to Lieut.- General Walton, General Simpson, and Major-General Sir W. Codringten, K.C.B. General Gor- served with distinction in most of the principal events of the Penin sular war, with the Light Division, and for a short time on the staff of Sir A. Barnard, for which he has received the war medal and nine clasps. At the conclusion of the war he accompanied Sir James Kempt to America, but returned with him in time for the campaign in Belgium, during which he acted as aide-de-camp to Sir James, and had one horse shot under him at Quatre Bras, and three at Waterloo.- Lieutenant-General Walton also served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo ; he was for 40 years in the Coldstream Guards, during the last six of which be commanded that regiment. To General Simpson the regiment is given on the grounds of seniority , past services, and his present ar duous position ; while in the case of General Codrington it is the well-earned reward of the ability, gallantry, and constancy of the senior officer who has gone through every event of the campaign, and has not bee., we be lieve, a d a y absent . from the gallant Light Division since it landed on itusAan territory. Those promotions will l ea ve three good-service pensions to be disposed of, and one of them will probably be given to Colonel Shewell, of the Bth Hussars.. There are now two vacancies oh th e ffi general o cers' list, and it is reported that Col.

I . - PARIS, WeI:MUD/LT Nalik ''' ___ ': ..... Tee-lay was fixed for her Majesty to visit the a S reOal Exhibition. Accordingly long before 11 o'clock, thei time fixed for her Majesty's arrival, a va.st crowd collected in the Champs Eiysees. The only persona al- , losied admission into the Palace were the -holders.of se*iou tickets and exhibitors. - The principal entrance to the Palace was tastefully decorated with flowers and tapestry, read a car p e t was laid down. I kler Majesty left St. Cloud shortly before eleveilde „ an open carriage, and was accompanied by the Ere , -... petor, Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal. Thei Prince of Walen wee in the next carriage. As the Queen descended the Champs Elysees, the crowd shouted "hive la Rehm ! " and when her Majesty reached the Exhibition, where the crowd was denser, the cry became louder. Toe Queen was received, on alighting from her =- tinge, by Prince Napiile.on, whom sh e cor di a lly saluted. Taking th e Emperor 's arm her Majesty entered :he Palace, and repeatedly and most graciously bowed to the commissioners assembled on both sides of the vesti bule. A military band struck up " God Save the Queen ! " and the people in the Palace raised a tremen dous sheet of' " Vive la [trine ! " Prince. Napoleon placed himself by the side of the Queen, and Priece Albert followed with the Princess Royal leaning ou his arm, and the Prince of Wa'es. The Emperor Oen led the Queen to the transept, thee turning to the rig?.t, her Majesty ascended by the French trophies to that of Deniere, where she turned into the courts containing the bronzes of France. Her - Maj-sty quitted the French court by Froment Meurice's trophy, and proceeding onwards. reached the ton of the transept, and then turning to the left, went to the Prussian trophies. The trophies of Austria next • excited ti e august vi itoes atteitiere The Queen then turned into the court conta'ning the splendid furniture ef Furdinois and other makers. Af terwards the Queen passed thretterh the court of Eikipg ton and Mason, and seemed pleased to find herself to the English department. Descending the gallery of the Lack a little way, the Queen crossing another court re turned to the transept just opposite the English marine trophy. Her Mak sty then proceeded down the tran sept to the porcelain cases of Copeland, Daniel, and - others, arid there entered the court set apart to the pot tery and porcelains of Staffordshire. Here the produc tions of Mintin and Co; and Wedgewood attracted her Majesty's notice. Then passing through the Sheffield court, the Queen entered the ManChesteedepartment, and from it preceeded tea the centre of thetraneepi. • The Queen then proceeded to ascend to the French tropides j -.. and as.she did so raiFed ber eye* tewerds - the EogliAhgallerieß. Her Arajesty appeared to be struck by the number of English flig,2;:and turned round to call the attention of Prince Albert and the Princeqe Royal to them. Arrived at the :trophy of war her Majesty paused. In this trophy specini.ns of the new cannon invented by the Emperor,- which was found to be very advantageous at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman, are exhibited. Prince Albert examined the contents of the trophy, cannon included,- with evident . interest. A military band here struck up " God. save the Queen !" After taking a glance at the trophy of the Industrie Parisienne, and the bronzes of Barbedieene, the-Qtieen examined with someinterest thedianicy,dsofll.llaiphen, amongst which is the recently discovered " Southern Star," a rival to the Boh-i 7 noor. . _ _ _ +~ , The Queen now quitted the palace by the great door leading from the transept, and paused for a moment let the garden to the left to obtain a little fresh air., The Emperor afterwards led her Majesty round the portent. of the Panorama. In the course of the tour the royal party turned aside to visit the Gallery of Industrial Designs, someof which Prince Albert examined with attention. Aftkr a short pause before tbeioluster of flowers Alai precedes the entrance of the Panoratia, the Einperor led her Majesty into that part of the edifice. The first thing the Emperor showed her Majesty was the new metal aluminium, which possesses many of the qualities of existing metals, and some others peculiarly its own. The Emperor, it may be remembered, when this metal was dierivered, supplied funds from his privy purse to have experiments madil,-with it. The Queen next as cended the estrade to examine the diamonds of the Crown, and her Majesty did so with marked interest ; the jewels of the Empress particularly attracted her notice. The Queen next inspected the magnificent pro ductions of the manufactory .of - Sevres, and amongst them the Emperor called her Jslajesty's attention to * reproductiOn in biscuit of the well-known statue of Jossi of Arc, dusi.med by the Princess Mark d'Orlesns daughter of Louis Philip The Queen and Prime* also admire , l a vase of pale tend,-e urnainented with eantieaux violets, which is a marvellous pr Eluction, and which was hrought speciAlly from Sevres to he shown to them. It will most likely he offered to the Queen. The Royal party next inspected the productions of the Gobelins and B- auvais—ail of which excited their admi ration. The insnection of the Panorama being terminated the Queen and the august party partook of some slight re fresh mei t. The Anne*e, where her Majesty's arrival was saluted by the playi►ig-of " God save the Queen" by a military band wa= bu slightly examined by the Quven And Prince. The Empt-ror turhing to the right led the Queen up the alley in which the Anz•n and Algerian exhihitio.►s are placed, an l then turned to the lelt of the French ma chines. The examination of the machines did not, how ever, extend to more than abouttwo-thirds of the French department, the exhibition of no other country being visited. On qu'tting this department, the Queen and Etoperor proceeded to descend the lower pert of the Annexe. Arrived in the Cana,fian department, her Majesty paused fir a little while, and addressit.g Mr. Legan,eine of the Canadian commissioners, assured him that she considered the exhibition admirable. Shortly after the Queen and the other august personages left the exhibition by the door on the Place do In Concorde, arid proceeded to the Tuileries in court carriages. As hi r Majesty drove off there were loud cries of " Vive la Reine " The Queen's visit lasted nearly tam hours, and with the exception of the brief rest in the Paimrama, her Majesty was on foot all the time. Hand carriages had been prepared for the Queen, but her Majesty declined to make use of them. The arrangements of the details of the visit were unfortunately the reverse of excellent. The spectators and exhibitors, in spite of the efforts of the employes, mixed themselves with the gentlemen of the Imperial Commission and her Majesty's suite, and not only separated the Queen from her suite, but premed far too near to where her Majesty was. Such was the disorder that when the Queenwas in the Panorama, the Marquis of Breadalbane and other members of her suite were for a time shut out with the public, and com pelled to wait in the crowd; and when the Queen was leaving, one or two of the la lies of the suite were corn. pletely separated from her Majesty, and had to force their way to her, as best they could. Her Majesty and the rest of the party proceeded to the Tuileries through the garden, where lunch was pre pared. An immense crowd had collected on the passage of the cortege hnd greeted her Majesty most warmly. After some time, the Qiieen proceeded in a clo.e car riage to the Hotel of the British Embassy, the principal apartments of which her Majesty examined with atten tion, and afterwards received sonic English persons of distinction. Her Majesty then returned to the Tuile ries, and rejoine,l the Emperor. Prince Albert, in the course of the afternoon, paid a visit to Prince Napoleon at the Palaie-Royal. After a short period of repose, the cortege returned to the Palace of St. Cloud, where in the evening there was a grand dinner of sixty covers, and afterwards a performance in the theatre of the palace b y the artistes of tie- Gyiutia-e. the piece represented being Le Nils de Famille, with M, Bressaut lending his assistarce. The following details concerning the representaVen of Les r emoiBelles de Saint Cyr at the Palace of St. Cloud, o n Monday, may prove ititerefitieg to your read- r= : The Queen of Eng and and the Empress sat together in the centre of a range of seats, t apart for the Im perial and Royal fatudiee—the Queen being at the right of the Empress. At the right of the Queen were placed in the following order, the Emperor, the Princess Royal, Prince Adalhett of Ba vara, and Prince Napoleon ; and at the left of the Fenpress, Prince Albert, the Princess Ma.thilde, and the Prince of Wales. The display of diamonds was very dazzling. At the sides, the seats on a level with the Imperiel box were ocoupied by the wives of the Mihis• ters and gnat functionaries, and behind these ladies . were the great personages themselves.

SIR CHARLEs NiPIER THil BOM BARDMENT OF SWEABOBG. ralty ? Till they do, the people's money will be thrown away. The Admiralty do not seem to have contemplated the effect of a bombardment, though I'told them, upwards of a year ago, what would happen ; and if they had read history they would have known that Martinique was taken by mortars—there svele not casements tor all the garrison, nor were there at Sweahrirg. Admiral Dundas saysit formed no part of his plan to attempt a general attack by the shits on the defences, and his operations were confined to such destruction of the fortress and arsenal as could be accomplished by mortars. Had Admiral Dundas been furnished with suffici nt means he'would have cOntenapi tied an attack on the de fences, and assembled the whole of his fleet, ready to take advantage of the terror and confusion occasioned by the gun and mortar-boats; the heat of the conflagration alone would have kept the garrison front the guns, and the fleet would have been in Sweaborg, and the whole of the forti fications, islands and all, blown to the devil ; instead of that, the wooden buildings and magazines are destroyed, and OA work wid have to be begun again next year. Admiral Dundas confirms my repo, t last year nbout the intricacy of the navigation. He says, " the intricate na ture of the ground, from rocks awash and reefs under water, rendered it difficult to select positions for the mortar-vessels at proper range ;" yet Admiral Dundss was one of the board who censured me for not . attacking Swea borg (though I had not one gun-boat or mortar-vess,d) last winter, amongst rocks awash and reefs under Water, when it now appears he could hardly place a gun-boat; and this after having a whole summer for examining it. He has found it is not easy to introduce large ships into the intricacies of Sweaborg. But I clo :lot blame him for the manner I was treated—Sir James Graham is alone re sponsible, for he had the impudence to tell the Sebastopol Committee that if his colleagues did not do as they were desired they should no longer be members of his board ; and he told them further, that he had the light of turning officers' private letters into public' ones, and they had no right to use his. Sir James Graham will find that I, for one, will not obey his dictum. Sir James ought' to be Cautious how he tampers, with let,ters. . , Sit James Graham was one the Ministers who sent is British army to Sebastopol in the•itiiiidle of last Septem ber, without means of moving, without food, proper tents, or clothing, and without hospitals, to pass a dreary winter and perish ; and he was the Minister who wanted me to take a British fleet, in the end of October, to perish amongst the rocks of Sweaborg, and; to their shame, got two naval officers to put their names to the insulting letter he wrote me •, and these men still remain in the Admiralty, and that.is the way the navy of this country is managed. The two summers in the Baltic will be a, lesson.to them. They are in possessiOn of my plans of attackiegCronstadt, and I . daie say stein possession of Admiral Dundas's, and Sir James Graham and his two coadjutors had better go next summer and carry them into execution. • In a subsequent communication I shall prove my charge against the Admiralty of having perverted my letters; and I remain, sir, your obedient servant, CHAS. NAPIER. CEREMONY OF LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF A CHURCH AT NEW SEA HA M. The Marchioness of Londonderry having determined upon erecting and endowing at her sole expense a church at New S-aliam, for supplying the spiritual wants of the pit population now rising around her ladyship's colliery and the others situated there, the foundation stone of the edifice was laid by her Ladyship, with proper so lemnity on Monday last. While the main object of the undertaking was of this benevolent character, it was also formally recorded as being a tribute of affection by her Ladyship to the memory of the late noble Marquis. The proceedings incident to the occasion were most in teresting and gratifying, being marked throughout by the most reverential spirit, as befitting the solemn ob ject in view, while they also afforied a characteristic instance of the dignified hospitality and urbanity of dis position which have won fur every member of the noble family Winded to the respect and esteem of the entire population of all ranks within 'and 'adjacent - 0 the an cestral domains. The situation of the structure thus auspiciously com menced is pleasant in itself and highly convenient with reference to the intended purpose. The site selected for it is part of a piece of fine dry pasture land on the north side of the roadway connecting New and Old Seabam, and directly opposite to the colliery there. It will thus be within view and almost in the midst of the dwellings of those for whose benefit it is more especially intended, while it will also be equally accessible for.others of the populaii,n of the neighbourhood ; for no restriction is intended, and, in strict consonance with the primary dasig the sittings are to be entirely free. It will be an edifice in the decorited style, with nave, chancel, and side aisles, and adapted to accommodate between 400 and 500. The archittqlt is P. C. Hardwicke, R4q., London ; and the builder Mr. Robert Robson, of Dur ham. The arrangements for the ceremony were very judiciously conceived asd executed under the directions of Robert Anderson, El. A quadrangular space had been marked off in the field anl neatly railed, the excavation in which the stone wa_s laid being in the centre thereof,Aviiil4 one side of the area fronting this spot was occupied by a covered 'platform. This erection was carpeted, and commodiously furnished with chairs for the ladies, of whom there was a considerable attentlance•from amongst the most resrectable families of the neighbourhood. A seat was placed in the centre for the Marchioness, with carpeted steps leading down to the hollow in which the stone was placed. Twelve o'clock was the hour ap pointed for the commencement of the ceremony, and as it approached, the platform and enclosure became filled by a brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, in cluding many of the clergy, and others of position and influence in the neighbouring district. The weather happily proved as auspicious for the occasion as could possibly have been desired, with a partially clouded sky and gently stirring wind, and the lace of the surround ing country looked beautiful, with its thriving establish ment., and fields ofripening corn nodding to the breeze —the hall of the Londonderry family, with the fine old church a: joining, rising from amidst embosoming trees, and breakieg the line of the glorious expanse of ocean lying beyond. A. fairer scene, or one more suggestive of the most elevated and pleasing feelings, as identified with so much that is beautiful in external nature, bene ficent in enterprise; arid teeming with the evidences of a kindly and fostering disposition inn the part of the chief territ , ir4d proprietor, could not perhaps be wit nessed within the limits of England. The Marchioness's band was stationed within the enclosure which has been referred to, its tasteful uniform agreeably helping to vary the pi.cturesqiie elements of the scene, though its performances were not called for until the close of the ceremony. Shorty after the appointed hour the Mar chicle ess drove up in an open carriage, with outriders, her ladyship being accompanied by the Earl and Countess Vane, W. S. Lindsay, E-q., M.P , and other gentlemen. When everybody had taken their places, the ladies being properly seated, the clergy, in their gowns, stationed behind them, and the general company dispersed within and around the enclosure, the scene was of a very ani mated description. Among't the company present, in asklition to those already named, we observed the Hon. and Rev: W. L. Denman ; Rev. J. A. Park, vicar of Elwica ; Rev. A. Bethune, &ahem HarbOur • Rev. Peters, Rector of Sunderland ; Rev. R. H. Baxter, Vicar of Seaham ; Rev. J. H. Brown, Dalton-le-Dale ; Rev. Mr. Meultrie, Houghton-le Spring •, Rev. Richard Skipsey. &c. ; —Nicholas Wood, E A ; Henry Morton, Esq. ; R. L. Pemberton, Esq. ; Robt. Wight, Esq. ; Percival Foster, Esq. ; Dr. Burn ; Wm. Green, Esq. ; Robt. Anderson, Esq. ; J. J. Wright, Esq. ; with seve ral of the officers of the Durham Militia. &c. The foundation stone presented a cavity, in which a large glass bottle, hermetically sealed, 'was deposited, containing specimens of all.the current gold, silver, and copper coinage of the - realm, together with a scroll tkus inscribed : " The foundation stone of this church was laid on the 13th August, 1855, and dedicated to the honour and glory of God, and in affectionate remembrance of Charles William Vane, 3d Marquis if Londonderry, by his mourning widow, Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry." At a given signal, the upper division of the stone, suspended by means of pullies, was gently lowered, when the Marchtonese and Earl Vane descended into the ex cavation, along with Robert Anderson, Esq., and Mr. Robson, the builder. Her La :1 ) 7411p struck the stone three times, in due form, with a unit mallet, prepared for the occasion, after which the plumb•and-level was laid upon it, and her Ladyship then applied to it a sil ver trowel, which was presented to her by Mr. Robson. A. brass plate was enclosed in the cavity, bearing the following inscription :—"This church is dedicated to the leinonr aid glory of God and in affectionate remembranceof Charles William Vane, 3d Marquis of Londonderry, &c., &c., by his mourning widow, Frances Anne Marchioness of Londonderry, 13 t h Au g ust, 1855." Vane, The Rev. Mr. PARK, at her ladyship's request, then said prayers. NICHOLAS WooD, Eve., then stood forward and said —My Lady Londonderry, as a proprietor of the adjoin ing colliery of Seaton, the workmen of which will parti cipate in the benefits to be derived from your ladyship's munificent provision of spiritual instruction to them b y the proceedinge of this day — on behalf of my partners and myee'f, and I trust I may also be permitted to add, on behalf of the werkinen themselves, we beg your lady ship to accept our most hesrtfelt thanes. It is highly creditable to your ladyship that immedia ely a poptula tion is gathered together to perform their worldly and I trust be permitted commercial operations, than your ladyship comes forward, and in the most handsome and munificent manner, to provide for their moral and religious wants, by providing them with a church, composed,. as I understand, entirely of free sittings. it redounds, I may to add, the more to your ladyship's honour and good ness and care of the spiritual comfort of your ladyship's working population, and that of the neighbourhood that such examples have been, I ought to add, of rare occur. rence in the thickly populated colliery districts of the county of Durham. It bas been m y fate to h ave been professiotially employed i n this count y for u p wards o f forty years. Since then a l l the collieries south of this place have been brought into existence. I recoll e c t a little more than 30 years ago there was not a colliery, except a small one, belonging to your ladyship's family south of the road from Sunderland to Durham ; the vast number of collieries of the Tees and Hartlepool, and the Auckland di.itricts, and their associated vast population, has been planted on the s oil of Durham ; but I ought t o ay that, corresponding l y , s p iritual and r eligious s e t o ru mm at o i o d n a t h i o a n s . not t i been s,tb e p r r e o fo v r i provided, d, withespec ially great pleasure that lin church ac- congratulate'your ladyship on the example which your ladyship has this day presented, an example *hich I sin cerely hope Mai ,be followed by all those who, like your ladyship; has raised up coloniesnf the working populas tioo, and who have not yet made such provision as that which is about to be raised up by your ladyship, and I trust I may be allowed to add that the destitution in some of-the districts with "which lam acquainted will, not bs overlooked by those to_ whom the spiritual wel fare of an industrious population is snore particularly intrusted, and that the .noble example of your _ladyship will have its d`.l weight in this district.• [ azain beg to thank your ladyship on behalf of the interests which I represent, and hope that you may long live in this world to reap the fruits of the inuniacent provision which you have to-day conferred on the pop4laiion of this locility towards their temporal arid spiritual Welfaie;and that the blessing of the Almighty will rest upon you in the world . to corns. . , • .. • Earl - VA let% said—Me. Wood, and gentlemen con nected with the neighbouring cellierierf—l. hope you will accept my mother's thanks for the kind expressions you have used towards her ; and I wish; on her part,-to re turn her sincere thanks to those who have on time occa sion evinced so lively an interest in this her undertaking, and the more espec ally to zny reverend friend, Mr. Park, - for the Obligation he ha-. conferred upon ;is in asking the blessing of Almighty God upon that under taking. 'My inotherlus been anxious that in this loca.lty, stid in its infancy, but where a pit poplatimiis rising, no time shou'd be lost and no exertion spared on her part to contribute to the spiritual and moral tniprove went of not only the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, but those immediately c - inflected with her colleries and other property. And I, though her son, may ray, ehe has with great energy come for ward on this occasion to begin an undertaking which I trust will be succesi•fully completed, and that we may all be spared for another 3 ear to see fitdshed and opened fir holy worship. lam you all kuow my assuring you of the fact, that her best affeetio“e are centred in this town and neighbourhood, and I hardly think list any jealousy need exist between the Old Town of Seaharu.and the New Town; for it is my mother's anxious hope that as time goes on, With the prcNrese of morals and educatien, and the advance of specu'ation and trade, the Old Town of Seahsm and the New Town may be amalgamated or united, p.nd that in the cour'e of a few years we may see a third church built for tire accommodotion of the in creasing population. The present church at &ahem, which I believe was completed 13 years ago, is now, owing to the exertions and truly pastoral mood my friend the Rev. Mr. Bethune, well filled every Suuday, exclu4ive of free sittings and accommodation for 500 children in that church. It is my mother's intention that this church, the foundation-stone of which we have seen laid to-day, shall be composed entirely of free sittings, and I tru-t that he who has .the pastoral care of this church will so exert himself as to lead those who are in error to the truth, "and that they may retura unto the army of righteousness." lam glad to say that it is also her in tention hereafter to found an additional school in the place. I have only to say a few words more in conclu sion—that as this church is to be raised as a monument to God's honour and glory, so it will be raised also as a' tribute of love aid affection for the memory of the founder of Seaham Harbour, by his moureing widow. 'who lives in the anxious trust and expectation that God may prosper this her handiwork. A hymn was then sung by a body of school-children, stationed with their teachers, on the ground. The band next performed the National Anthem in excellent style, and the proceedings connected with the ceremony ter minated. LUNCHEON AT THE HALL. On the conclusion of the ceremony, a numerous party of the clergy and laity who had attended it were invited by her ladyship to partake - of - herhospitality at the hall. The Marchioness took tier proper place at table, with Lady Vane by ber side, and supported on either • hind by W. S. Lindsay, Esq , M P., H. Morten, E F •tq., N, Wood, Esq., and otheis, while E.tri Vane obcupied a position at the opposite end of the table. Ample justice haviog been done to the abondande of good chi-er placed before the cntn patty, Earl V'ANIS rose and said, alatough it was not cu.- torn try to propose toasts on such occ4sions, yet he should not be expressing his mother's feelings if he did not ask them to drink one toast, namely, the health and many thanks t , ) the gentlemeft who had hon,ured them with their presence that day, coupling therewith the names f the several reverend gewlemen who had also kindly at tended the day's proceeding.. It was no douht true the, church would be succe, , shilly built, as he trusted ; but when erected, much, if not all, would depend upon the . • person oa whom the cure of souls was devolved. The ultimate ,success of the undertaking must depend very materially upon his zeal and exertions in rendering the structure available for its destined purposes. Tne sittings would be free, and it was his mother's wish that who ever took charge of the church should find the. peWs filled. He felt sure , that it was also the with of his mother that they might all meet again in a succeeding year, when the key of the arch was placed, and he him self would have much pleasure to meeting on that*ocoa sion with those whom they had now the plevoire of seeing around them. He begged to propose the, health of the gentlemen who had honoured them by attending, and also of the clergy, coupling with the toast the name of the Rev. Mr. Perk, and many thanks to him for the kindness on this occasion. (The toast was very cordially honoured.) The Rev. Mr. PARK hezge 1 to thank his lordship for the very kind manner in which he had 'cieea pleased to speak him, and to drink his beak'', together with that of his rev. hi ethren. It must always he most pleasing and gra tifying to every Ctiristian,and especially to every Co ristian inirister, to witness such a scene as her ladyship'S munifi cence had prepare 1 for them in the ceremony of that day. Indeed, scarcely any spectacle could be more de-.1 lightful to minds accessible to the influences of religion and benevolent feeling than to see a church rising simul taneously with the cottages of those who were to worship in it. It must al w 'ye be a pleasing reflection to her ladyship that she had originated such a work ; and (said the rev. gentleman, turning te war Is the marchioness) I trust that on its'full completion you may have the hap piness of eerily the people around filling it, and may this good deed be ble-sed to you and your family. (Thee sentiments were received by the company with a mur mur of applause.) The Rev, Mr. PARK again rose, and begged to pro pose "The Health of Lady Londonderry." The toast was very warmly honoured. Earl VANE returned thanks on his mother's behalf, expressing the pleasure felt by her ladyship iu seeing so maly old friends of the fai'►ily around her on that occa 'simi. His lordship proposed "The Health of the Gentle men connected with the Seaton and Hetton Collieries, coupled with the name of Mr. Wood." N. 'WooD, Esq., returned thanks. As connected with a neighbouring colliery, be had already very inade quately expressed his feelings with reference to the ad ditional church for the neighbourhood, of which her ladyship bad that day laid the foundation stone. He felt deeply sensible of the benefits which the new church could not fail to bestow upon the neighbouring pit po pulation. He happened to be a resident in early life in a locality where, with a population of 6,000, only three seats in the church were free. The result was, that nearly the whole, of the working people were Dissenters. He was sure the example ..hus set by her ladyship would be of Oa greatest value to the community. Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, M.P., then rose, and sad, from a conversation he had had with, her ladyship that morning, he was deeply convinced that she felt the warmest interest in ; that loc,lity. and all connected with . it. He could not refrain fr.►in expre,ising his eratitude for the pleasure he had personally derived froin,hie' present visit to that neighbourhood. •13,,ing an early man he had get up at six o'clock to see what was to be seen, and be strolled about, no one knowing him. He wandered amongst the cottages, to the Docks, and the other works in the neighbiurhond, and he was happy to say he had found everything in the most perfect crier. He found amongst the working classes a feeling of great content•nent prevailipg, and no wonder, seeing that her Ladyship, with every 3s. 6d. she paid to her labourers, gave them 3, - 1. for keeping their cAtages neat and clean, while she had that day been seen laying the f einiation stone of a tabernacle in which they could worship their God. They might ail be assured that the outlay upon such an undertaking would prove a wise and good in vestment ; for nothing tended more to the increase of wealth than keeping the labouring population happy and comfortable. Mr. Lindsay proceeded to illustrate this view byreference to the case of a Virginian proprietor with whom he was acquainted, and who, having purchased 450 slaves, immediately gave the whole of them their freedom. He kept an account of what could have been got out of them while in bondage, the cost of their maintenance in old age, and medical attendance, and compared it with the fruits of their tree labour ; and on the last visit he paid him (Mr. Lindsay) he, said, that under the latter system he had not only got back the price they had cost him, but he had actually been a gaieer by giving them their freedom. (Hear.) He only mentioned this as an instance, occurring under very different circumstances from the present, of the good effects of such an, enlight ened course of policy as her ladyship hail adopted with reference to the working population ; and in strict con sistency with these benevolent principles, had also taken a deep interest in educating the rising generation, of which she was about to afford a further proof by the erection of a school, in addition to the church now to be erected.

Sir,—Last year the Admiralty thaught proper to cast reflections on me because I did not attack Sweaborg in the .latter end of last October. I felt, indignant at such reflections, and replied as a British admiral ought to do. This led to an angry correspondence, and subsequently to my being deprived of the command of the Baltic Fleet. I demanded inquiry on my conduct, which was refused. I annealed to the Cabinet, and received no reply; and, finally, to the House of Commons. The papers were re fused, under the plea that it would be injurious to her Majesty's service. As Sweabhrg has now been bombarded that plea is at an end, and the time is come to tell the' "reason why" it was not attacked last year. After the capture of Bomarsunal; Sweaborg was again examined, and it was the opinion of the French marshal, the 'admirals,' and myself, that we had not the proper means to attack so formidable a fortress—we had neither gun -or mortar' vessels—aud that the season of the year was much teo advanced. General Jones was of opinion that by landing 5,000 men on the island of Bak-Holmen, thro.virig up works, and then nicking a simultaneous attack with the fleet, it might be realaced in seven or eight days. This plan was unani tllol.l9ly rejected. General Niel Was of opinion that it mighr. be knocked down in a couple of hours by seven or eight sail of the line. but he added that it would be an operation tree hardi, that such an operation had never been attempted, and it was not his province to recom mend it. These opinions were sent home ' • the people of England were not satisfied, and I was instructed by the Admiralty to bold a council of war, to inquire whether any further operations could be attempted. The French marshal and his army were gone; the council was therefore limited to the Allied admirals, who replied that no further operations' could be attempted at that season of the year,• and withtheaneanf at our dis posal. Before this rcport was received, another order was sent out to exam G examine General Jones's p au ; the French marshal being gone, the council was not held. Alew days afr er came a third order to assemble a coun cil of war to examine General Niel's plan. • The French adaniralswas justly indignant at being again called upon, even before the first report had arrived, and declined attending. The council was in consequence limited to the British almira ,, , and they reported that they saw no reason to change their opinions. Shortly after this, the French admiral received orders to withdraw the French fleet from the Gulf of Finland, which order was communicated to the English Govern ment on the Ist of September. On the ISth the French fleet sailed, anal I proceeded to Nargen, that I might again examine Sweaborg, and see if there was the smallest pro babi ity of making a successful attack on it without corn prorni4ing the safety of the fleet. Up to this time things had gone on smoothly anon gh with the Admiralty. I received nothing but praise and approval of any conduct., except in one instance, that I was checked for leaving Wing° Sound, their lordships having forgot that they had directed me to follow Lord Claren don's orders, which I had done. . Sir James Graham's praises were also fulsome to a de gre, but when he saw the people were becoming dissatis fied, he began to cast about and see who he could blame, and his "My dear Sir Charles" was turned into "My dear Admiral." I guessed what was coming, but, I cer tainly did not expect the treachery I experienced, and though he returned to " My dear Sir Charles," I saw he was no longer to be trusted. _ On the 26th of September I went off Sweaborg in the Lightning, piloted by Captain Sulivan,,thrJugh an intri cate passage of sunken rocks, little more than a quarter of a mile wire, and stopped abreast of Golearn Island, about two miles south of Gustavus' fe'worcl. The sunken rocks are shown in the small Russian charts only. From this position the fortress appears like bat teries perched one on the other, pointing towards the sea, On the southern face of Gustavus' Sword and Vargen 77 guns cover the approach of J. fleet from the southward, be sides, 29 guns on three battetieSntßA-Holinen. The three decker lies on the entrance of the passage' between Bak- Holinen and Gustavus' Sword, and her broadside also covers the approach from the south. We could not. get a view of the western defences, and I think General Niel, having only seen the western part of the fortifications for a short time, and at a greater dis tance, was rather hasty in giving an opinion that eight or ten sail of the line would lay it in ruins in two hours. There was not time to find a passage through the rocks, to enable us to see she western face, at the northern end of which a'.ins-of-battle ship was placed to cover, the entrance by Laugholin, and another at bend to support her. In my former report. I agreed with Captain Washington that the fleet could lay in Aliolo Roads in the summer. It is now more difficult, as .batteries have been built on the south point of Sundhainu, but they could be destroyed. I wrote to the Admiralty to say, if Sweaborg was at tacked by a fleet alone, they would approach from the south in one line, raked by 160 guns ; one or two of the leading ships would anchor and occupy the batteries at Bak Hohnen the next would pass on, fire a broadside into the three-decker, and anchor clear of her broadside against the south-nest angle of Gustavus' Sword ; she would be followed by the next, pouring a broadside into the three decker, and anchor ahead of her leader, and so on in suc cession as glose as the ships could lay. By this time the three decker would probably be sunk, and the whole west ern face of Sweaborg engaged. A small squadron would be required to anchor south of Langhobn. They would have to contend against it, and two or three line-of-battle ships, and what guns were in Helsingfors. All the passages should be buoyed, and small steamers stationed in the narrowest and most dangerous channels. The large steamers should be under weigh in various direc tions, to assist ships in difficulties; and a reserved squad ron ready to Wee the place of disabled ships. Whether . this attack would succeed or not it is impos sible to say, for we must calculate on ships being set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, of which there would be abundagice; and whether successful or not, it is evident the ships would be in no eonditicn to meet the Russian fleet afterwards ; and if the attack.was..maKle at this season of the year, when you cannot depend ou the weather for two hours, I do not know how many would be lost. I begged their lordships not to suppose for a moment that Sweaborg could not be attacked, for I thought it could, but it must be with caution and judgment. I went on to say that I had little to add to the report I sent to Sir James Graham, a copy of which I sent to the Admiralty, and a copy of which I send to you, sir.* Since that report an attack has become easier ; we have now Lancaster guns—every ship in the fleet should be fur nished with them ; 13-inch mortars should be placed on Laugholin Island and Vargo Rocks. The French occupied one of these positions ; five mortars wore damaged, two burst: Why the English did not occupy another island is not stated. Again, gun-boats carrying Laucaster guns should be added to the fleet ; they should be placed at different paints, at proper distances from the fortifications, well furnished with shot, shells, and rockets, and a bom bardment commenced, and continued till the wooden buildings, of which there are many were set on fire, and an 'evident impression made on thei fortress—the ships should then cleme up and finish the work. How long this would take I could not say, but I was quite certain the fortress would be laid iu ruins, and most probably an entrance opened to the ships. I have sti 1 nothing about.troops, but there is no doubt they could be usefully employed. It will be seen by what I have written and by Admiral Dancing's despatch, had my plan been followed up to the letter, Sweaborg would have been annihilated. It appears the Allies had only 43 gun and mortar boats, and many mortars have been disabled. They ought at least to have had 100. Sir James Graham, in a letter to me, said 200. Had that number been there the bombardment would have been confirmed by means of reliefs, as men are re liever] iu the trenches. The mortars would have had time to cool, and the bombardment continued till not one stone was left on another, and an opining made for the ships to go in and finish the work. Instead of that the. Admiralty do not seem to have foreseen that mortars could not stand for ever, though they must have had reports from Sebastopol, and thus an operation, which appears to have, been managed with great judgment, has only met with partial success, for Admiral Duudas in his report admits the sea defences were little injured. We appear to have suffered little or nothing either in men or ships, and bad Admiral Dundas's means been greater, he might have continued the bombardment as long as the weather remained fine, and the fleets, instead of returning to Nargen, might have been at anchor in Sweaborg. The first year there might have been some excuse for the Admiralty not having means, but none the second. They received my report early enough, and if there was not time to build gun and mortar boats, there were plenty of vessels in the river fit to be converted, and plenty of money in the Exchequer—they had only to ask, and the whole country would have given it y acclamation. In stead of building gun and mortar boats, they built a par cel of iron floating batteries, which could hardly swim,and if they could they would have been useless, for had they been placed within 400 yards of Sweaborg they would have been annihilated, and at 800 yards they would have done no harm. The first experiment on iron cost the country a million ; and where are they? The second experiment not much less than half a million ; and they have not left our ports, and probably never will. When will the country be tired of giving money to inca p able men? The Ministers have been driven to reform the War De partment— w hen will they think o f re f orm ing the Admi- * To SIR JAMES GRAIlAM.—Report, June 12, 1854.—Th0 only successful manner of attacking Sweaborg that I can see, after the most mature consideration, assisted by Admiral Chads, who is a practic al man and knows more about gunnery than any man iu the service, is b y fit ting out a great number of gun-bJats, orrying one gun with a long range, and placing them west of Sweaborg and south of H elsingfors. Every shell and perhaps not five per effect. Back them by the from oeot. themfrom the e u e l d o e t m e yl would w take here fleet to relieve the men, and in the course of the summer Sweaborg would be reduced to ashes, and Helsingfors also, if it was thought proper. And I don't see why we are to be mealy-mouthed about it in time .of war. The ships you" will see could not be destroyed, because they could move out of the way. I was at the siege of Martinique many years ago. We could not batter Fort Bourbon, as it lay higher than the ground around it ; but 50 mortars in three weeks plunging their shells into it made it surrender ; and whether mortars aro placed on shore or in gun-boats is quite immaterial ; indeed the latter have the advanta4e, for when the shops begin to tell, and one's blood begins to warm, the ships w.'uld move up to the batteries, and close quarters would finish what the mortar boats began. I sent you home, I think, copies of all the plans, and if you will lay them before the engineer and artil lery officers, .1 will be bound for it they will agree with me, that it is the only way to destroy Sweaborg without an army superior to the Emperor of Russia's, which we are not likely to bring into the field. It is too late this year, but be all pre pared next, now we know the anchorage, and begin early, I forgot to say that the islands within range may all be put in requisition for 13-inch mortars. The expenses would be very great, no doubt; but if we are to bring the war to a conclusion espouses must not be thought about, THE DOCKYARDS. The fQllow,ingmemorandra,,dated " Admiralty, August 18, 1865," and relating to the first entry and prcimotion of artificers and labourers in her Majesty's dock and victualling yards, has been issued : "My lords have viewed with much satisfaction the great exertions made by all classes for some time past in her Majesty's dock) ards and victualling yards, but they believe Vast the efficiency of the service may be still further increased by a change in the mode of a !mission, and that if the ' first entries' t,e intrusted to the super intendant of each yard (who, being on the spot, is prac tically acquainted with the duties t.) be performed), the average standard of qualification may be raised. "My lords have therefore determined tl transfer the responsibility of the first. entry of all artificers and labourers to this officer in each yard, and trust that, in so doing, they will have his active c , -operation in watch ing closely that no workmen be admitted hut such as are in all respects the best to be obtained kir her Majesty's svrince. "In confiding this duty to the superintendent, my Innis do not iritend merely to transfer it to the heads of departments, but they rely upon the superintendent him self giving his acti‘e perapnal atterition to the suhj-et, with the view to the prevention of any abuse of the power thus committed to Lim. . "They believe tliAte waos444.,2respccts of, the ervice are sufficient to'secure the- lw - iinfmel'i, and that there is no want of candidates is *Toyed by the number of applicants. " My lords iiannat but expect that attempts will b 3 made to support applications for employment by the aid of interest, either political or personal. They are aware that the connexion whiCh must natifrary exist between the officers of the different naval establishments and per sons residing, in the neighbourh iod affords much scope for the exercise of such influence. " They must therefore in.ist on every effort being made to check and put down all such interference, and to encourage appucations for employment being made directly by the men themselves. " It is due to hired men of good character and ability that they should have the preference in succeeding to the establishment ; and in entering men either as hired. or upon the establishment, my lords would be disposed to show a certain preference to those who have been in the service before, if they then proved themselves to be good workmen, and obtained the approbation of their superiors. _ _ _ `• In all cases where men are required, a public notice is to be affixed to the dockyard' gates, or any other con venient place, specifying the c'ass required and the day and hour fixed for the selection, which fs then to be made publicly by the superintendent, waisted by the officer. of the department, from the whole number who may present themselves. _ Great care having been taken to select the best men, they are to be entered on probation for one month, with the unler'tanding that their appointments will he con firmed, if at the end of that period they shall have proved theMselves competent to the satisfaction of the superin tendent. And with the view of more easily acquiring this knowledge, my liords would suggest thst the super intendent should hold periodical musters of. all these newly entered men. My Lords ptirtilse also themselves on their annual visitation, carefully to inspect all the new men of the previous year, who are to be separately mustered for this purpose. "The control of the numbers to be entered will still rest with the Surveyor of the Navy or the Controller of Victualling, limier their lordships' supervision. A list of the vaeaticies which it may .be necessary to fill up will therefore be transmitted to the superinten 'wit each month, which is to be returned by him at the beginning . of the next tided up with the names of the men who have been entered on probation, their ages, and the na ture of their qualifications. A similar return is to be transmitted at the same time of the noon who, having been entered the month before, hove passed their period of probation, stating with r,f-rence to their competency whether they appear to the superintendent to be good, very ;food, or middling. " With regard to the entry of apprentices, the order in Council of March, 1853, will remain in force, with this exck ption, that my Lords propo ,, e to leave to the superintendent the d ty of planing the names of candi dates on the list prior to examination, !Artier they be connected with the vervice or not. But after their ex amination, the list is to be sent up in the same manner as at present, with a statement of the names of the can- &dates placed in the order in which they pass, respec tive of their ages and height, and of the names, servic,, and character of their parents, and a►ny remarks may be added which may be th mght desirable to enable their lordships to select the most deserving of them for ap pointments. " This selection will be guided by the same rules as at present. " My Lords further take this opportunity of remarking on the subject of promotion, as it is of the greatest im portance that persons of all grades should enjoy the fullest confidence that industry and ability will be fairly noticed, their wish is that increased attention should be paid to those sections of the order in Council of March, 1853, which direct the mode of recommending for pro. motion. " Upon every vacancy the departmental officers are to state against the name of each candidate who may be selected by them not only hi 4 position on the examination list, his age, and service, but their opinion at length of his ability and energy, and his peculiar fitness for the vacant post. " On receiving such report the superintendent is to make strict inquiry himself, and is to advert to all these points in his own report. " And with the view of preventing these recommenda tions from the officers to the superintendent, and from the superintendent to the Admiralty, from lapsing into a mere form, the superintendent is on each occasion to re peat in his letter his conscientious belief that the persons so recommended for promotion are the best, and that such selection and recommendation have been influenced by no other motive than a desire for the good of the service. " While, however, my Lords wish that superior indus try and ability should be rewarded, they are disposed to allow due weight to long and approved service ; care must therefore be taken not to place over an ebcient man any oue who is not clearly and decidedly his supe rior in all respents. Unless this be carefully attended to, much iujuetice may be done and discontent occa sioned. " MY Lora' are convinced that the objects which they have so much at heart will, as regards selecti , n whether for entry or for promotion, be best attained by the exer cise of active vigilance by the officers on the spot. They desire, therefore, that every opportunity be taken, as well by example as in orders,-of calling attention to those portions of the recent order in Council which threaten with the heaviest penalties all persons who try to obtain advancement otherwise than by merit. "A copy of this letter is to be appended to the official copSy of the instructions for the dock and victualling yards, and its contents are to be made known to all offi cers and men in her Majesty's naval establishments.
