General Gore 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-canip 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 ; be,was for 40 years in the Coldstream Guards, during the last six Of which he 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 been, we be lieve, a day absent from the gallant Light Division since it landed on Russian territory. Those promotions will leave 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 on the general, officers' list, and- it is reported that Col. Shirley, C, 8., 88th—who, like General Codrington, has not been a day absent from the Crimean service—Colonel Horn,. • .C. 13., Oth ; Colonel Warren, C. 8., 55th ; and Colonel Speneer,..C.B., 44th, will shortly be raised to the rank of ‘roajor-general. These officers have all oommarided brigades for different periods during the campaign, . J.. k LONDON FtiIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 11895. SIR CHARLES NAPIER ON THE BUM- BittiDMENT OE SIVEABORG. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Last year the Admiralty thought 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 :,,mealed to the Cabinet, and received no reply; and, flintily, to the House of Commons. The papers were re fused, under the plea that it would be injurious to her • Majesty's service. As Sweaborg 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 Bomarsund, 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—and that the season of the year was much too advanced. General Jones was of opinion that by landing 5,000 men on the island of Bak-Holmen, thrwring up works, and then making a simultaneous attack with the fleet, it might be reduced in seven or eight days. This plan was unani mously rejected. General Niel was of opinion that it might 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 tres Nardi, 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 with the meanf at our dis posal. Before this report was received, another order was sent out to examine General Jones's p an ; the French marshal being gone, the council was not held. A Pow days after came a third order to assemble a coun cil of war to, examine General Niel'e plan. The French admiral was 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 a Imirale, and they reported that they saw no reason to change their opinions. Shortly after this, thesFrench 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 18th the French fleet sailed, and I proceeded to Nargen, that I might again examine Sweaborg, and see if there was the smallest pro bability of making a successful attack on it without com promising the safety of the fleet. Up to this time things had gone on smoothly enough with the Admiralty. I received nothing but praise and approval of my conduct, except in one instance, that I was checked for leaving Wingo 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 gree, 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 ionizer to be trusted. On the 26th of September I went off Sweaborg in the Lightning, piloted by Captain Sulivane,threugh an intri cate passage of sunken rocks, little more than a quarter of a mile wide, and stopped abreast of Goharn Island, about two miles south of Gustavus' Swore. 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 d fleet from the southward, be sides 29 guns on three batteries at Bele- Holmen. 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 rooks, to enable us to see she western face, at the northern end of which a line-of-battle ship wasplaced to cover the entrance by Langholue, and another at hand to support her. In my former report I agreed with Captain Washington that the fleet could lay in Miolo Roads in the summer. It is now more difficult, as batteries have been built on the south point of Sundhanan, but they could be destroyed I wrote tb the Admiralty to say, if Sweaborg was at tacked by se fleet alone, they would approach from the south in onel line, raked by 160 guns ; one or two of the leading shipi would anchor and occupy the batteries at Bak-Holnien, the next would pass on, fire a broadside into the three-decker, and anchor clear of her broadside against the south-west 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 clbse as the ships could lay. By this time the three decker would probable-be sunk, and the whole west ern face of Sweaborg engaged. A small squadron woud be required to anchor south of Laughohn. 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, take the place of disabled ships. Whether this attack would succeed or not it is impos. Bible to say; for we must calculate on ships being set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, of which there would be abundance;` 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 made at this season of the year, when you cannot depend on 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 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 were damaged, two burst. Why the English did not occupy another island is not stated. Again, gun-boats carrying Lancaster 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 the fortress—the ships should theii clew up and finish the -work. How long this would take I could not say, but I was quite certain the fortress would be laid in ruins, and most probably aii entrance opened to the ships. I have said 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 Dundas'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 continued by means of reliefs, as men are re lieved in tile 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 I s of that the Admiralty do not seem to have foreseen that mortars could not stand for ever, though they inusthave had reports from Sebastopol, and thus an o peration, 'which appears to have been managed with great judgment, has only met with partial success, for Admiral Dundas id his report admits the sea defences were little injured. ' We appear to have suffered little or nothing either in men or ships, and had Admiral Dundas's means been greater, h might have continued the bombardment as 2 l o ng as th weather remained fine, and the fleets, instead of returni gto 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 by 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 l of reforming the Adrai pofaTrtgbimveienxingt—inmiweotnehereyeebtwonvillenl cbtaehpeeanybdlterhimivneekno reform the War De n o consideration, attacking Sweaborg assisted that I by Admiral can see, * To SIR JAMES GRAIIAL—Re p ort, June 12 , 1854 . — The after only them successful ost maturea nemanner f Chads, who is a practical man and kn ows more about gunnery than any man in the ser vice, is b y fitti ng out a great number of gun-boats, carrying one g un with a lo ng range, and placing them west of Sweaborg an d south of He lsingfors. Every shell m from them would tell somewhere, and perhaps not five per cent. from the enemy would take effect. Back them by the 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 are placed on shore or in gun-boats is quite immaterial ; indeed the latter have the advantage, for when the shells 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, I 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. , 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 g conclusion expenses mot not be thought about. ralty ? Till they do, the people's money will be thrcAvn 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 were not casements for all the garrison, nor were there at Sweaborg. Admiral Dundas says it formed' no part of his plan attempt a general attack by the ships on the detentes, 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 contemplated an attack on the de fences, and asseinbled 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 from 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 the work will have to be began again next year. Admiral Dunda,s confirms m report last year about the intricacy of the navigation. I le 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 Dundee was one of the board who censured me for not attacking Swea borg (though I had not one gun-boat or mortar-vessel) last winter, amongst rocks awash and reefs under water, when it now appears he could hardly place a gun-beat; and this after having a whole summer for examining it. He has toned it is not easy to introduce large ships into the intricacies of Sweaborg. But Ido sot 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 right of turning efficers' 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 lettere. - Sir James Graham was one of the Ministers who sent a British army to Sebastopol in the middle of last Septem ber, without means of moving, without food, proper tents, or clothing, and without hospitals, to paps a.dreary winter and perish %and te. „nos the alinister.who-Wanted Jona to take a• British feet, 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 insultingletter 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 108bOn to them. They are in possession of my plans of attacking Cronstadt, and Idare say are in possession of Admiral Dundee's, and Sir James Graham and his two coadjutors had better go next, summer and carry them into execution. Ina subsequent communication I shall prove my charge against the Admiralty of having perverted my letters; and I remain, sir, your-obedient servant, UHAS. NAPIER. CEREMONY OF LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF A CHURCH AT NEW SEAHAM. The Marchioness of Londonderry having determined upon erecting and endowing at her sole expense a church at New Seaham, 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 afforded a characteristic instance of the dignified hospitality and urbanity of dis position which have won for every member of the noble ftmily alluded to the respect and esteem of the entire population of all ranks within and adjacent to 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 Seaham, and directly opposite to the colliery there. It will thus be within view and almoQt 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 population of the neighbourhood; for no•restriction is intended, and, in strict consonance with, the primary design, the sittings are to be entirely free. It will be an edifice in the decorated style, with nave, chancel, and side aisles, and adapted to accommodate between 400 and 500. The architect is P. C. Hardwicke, Esq., London ; and the builder Mr. Robert Robson, of Dur ham. The arrangements for the ceremonywere very judiciously conceived and executed under the directions of Robert Anderson, Esq. A quadrangular space bad been marked off in the field and neatly railed, the excavation in which the stone was laid being in the centre thereof, while one side of the area. fronting this spot was ocoupisd by a covered platform. This erection was carpeted, and commodiously furnished with chairs for the ladies, 'of whom there was a considerable attendance from amongst the most respectable 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 chiding 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 ments, and fields of ripening corn nodding to the breeze —the hall of the Londonderry family, with the fine old church adjoining, rising from amidst embosoming trees, and breaking 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, and teeming with the evidences of a kindly and fostering disposition on the part of the chief territorial 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 picturesque elements of the scene, though its performances were not. called for until the close of the ceremony. Shortly after the appointed hour the Mar chiouess drove up in an open carriage, with outriders, her ladyship being accompanied by the Earl and Countess Vane, W. S. Lindsay, Esq., 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. Amongst the company present, in addition to those already named, we observed the Hon. and Rev. W. L'. Denman ; Rev. J. A. Park, vicar of l Elwica ; Rev. A. Bethune, Seaham Harbour ; Rev. 11. Peters, Rector of Sunderland ; Rev. R. H. Baxter, Vicar of Seaham ; Rey. J.,H. Brown, Dalton-le -Dale ; Rev. Mr. Moultrie, Houghton-le Spring ; Rev. Richard; Skipsey. &c. ;—Nicholas Wood, Esq. ; Henry Morton, Esq. ; R. L. Pemberton, Esq. ; Rebt. 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, anri copper coinage of the realm, together with a scroll taus 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 of Londonderry, by his mourning widow, Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry." At a given signal, the upper division of the striae, suspended by means of pullies, was gently lowered, when the Marchioness and Earl Vane descended into the ex cavation, along with Robert Anderson , Esq., and Ur. Robson, the builder. Her Ladyship struck the stone three times, in due form, with a neat 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 honour and glory of God and in affectionate remembrance of Charles William Vane, 3d Marquis of Londonderry, &c., &c., by his mourning widow, Frances Anne Vane, . Marchioness of Londonderry, 13th August, 1855." . The Rev. Mr. PARK, at her ladyship's request, tlen said prayers. NICHOLAS WOOD, Esq., then stood forward and said —My Lady Londonderry, as a proprietor of the adjoin ing colliery of Seaton, the workmen of w hich w i l l parti cipate in the benefits to be derived from your ladyship's munificent provision of spiritual instruction to them by the proceedings of this day—on behalf of my partners, and myself, and I trust I may also be permitted to add, on behalf of the workmen themselves, we beg your lady ship to accept our most heartfelt thanks. It is highly creditable to your ladyship that immediately a popela tion is gathered together to perform their worldly snd 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 I trust be permitted to add, the more to your ladyship's honour and good-' .countyfaz i ness and care of the spiritual com fort of y our lad y shi p' s working population, and that of th e nei g hbourhood t hat such examples have been, I ought to add, of rare occur rence in the thickly populated colliery d istricts o f the county of Durham. It hag been my fate to have been professionally employed in thistoyour for ladyship's upwards of ly forty years. Since then all th e collieries south of t his place have been brought into existence. I rec ol lec t ekixtteleept a more than one, an3o ,ybeealor:giangao there was not a co llie r y, south of the road from Sunderland to Durham ; the vast, number of collieries of the Tees and Hartlepool, and the Auckland districts, and their associated vast population, has been planted on the soil of Durham ; but I ought to say that, correspondingly, spiritual and religions in , struntion has not been provided, especially in church at:- 4 corainodation. It ip,therefore , witb g r eat pleamosks • _..,,,; J . . congratulate :your ladyihip _on the examPle'Which yo . nr ladyship bas this day presented, an. example 'which lein cerely hope may be followed by all. those who, like yo . zir ladyship, has raised up colonies of the working popula tion, and who have not yet-made such provision as that which is about to be raised up by your ladyship, and I trust.l may be allowed, to add that. the destitution in' some of the districts With which-I am acquainted will not 'l4 overlooked, by those to whom the-epiritual.wel.- fare of an inthistrious population js more particularly intrusted, and that the -)rioble example-of your ladyship will have its due weight in this district. I again -beg to thank your ladyship on, behalf of the interests which represent, and hope that' you may long•liiie this world to- reap the fruits of the munificent provision tylaich you have to-day . 'conferred on the population of this , locality towards their temporal' and' spiritual welfare, and:that the blessing of. the Almighty" will rest upon.you in, the world to come. . Earl VANS said—Mr; Wood, and gentlemen con nected with the neighbouring collieries—l hope , you,- will accept my mother's thanks.. for the .kind exprensions you have used towards her ; and I wish, on her:part, 'to re turn her sincere thanks to thoie who have on this occa sion evinced so lively an interest in this her undertaking, and the more especially to my reverend friend, Mr. Park, for the Obligation he has conferred upon 'us in asking the blessing of Almighty God upon that under taking. My mother has been anxious that inthie beaky, still - in its infancy, but' where - a pit poplation'is rapidly rising, no time should be lost and no exertion spared on her part to contribute to the spiritual and moral ireprove- , ment of not only the inhabitants of the neighbourhood; but those immediately connected with her colleries and other property. And' I, tholigh - her sop, may say, she has with great 'energy come forward ' on thisroceasicin 'to begin an undertaking which I trust will be . successfully completed, and that we may all be sparedfor another year to see finished and opened for holy worship. tem cer tain you all know well, without my niniurihg yon of the , fact, that, her best affections are centred in this town and neighbourhood, and - I hardly think - that any jealousy need exist between the .Old Town .ol.,Seahaux'andlhek Nair Town, for-it is my mother's anxious hope that as time goes on, with the progress of morals and education . , and the advance of sPeculation and trade, the Old Town of Seaham and the New Town may be amalgamated or - united, and that in the course of a few years we may see a third church built for the accommodotion of the in creasing population. The present. church at Seaha m, , which I believe Was completed 13 years ago , is now, owing to the exertions and truly pastoral care my friend theßev. Mr. Bethune, well filled every Sunday, exclusive of free sittings and accommodation for 500 children in that church. It is my mother's intention that this church, the foundation-steno of which we have seen laid to-day, shall be composed entirely of free sittings, and I trust 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, return unto the army of righteousness." lam glad-to say that it is also her in tention heleafter 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 and affection for the memory of the founder of Seahata Harbour, by his mourning widow. who livei in the anxious trust and expectation thlt 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 her hospitality at the hall. The Marchioness took her proper place at table, with Lady Vane by her side, and supported on either hand by W. S. Lindsay, Esq., MT., H. Morton, Esq., N. Wood, Esq., and others, while Earl Vane occupied a position at the opposite end of the table. Ample justice having been done to the abundance of good cheer placed before the company, Earl VANE rose and said, although it was not cus tomary to propose toasts on such occasions, yet he should not . be expressing his mother's feelings if he did not ask them to drink one toast, namely, th e health and many thanks to the gentlemen who had honoured them with their presence that day, coupling therewith the names of the several reverend gentlemen who had also kindly at tended the day's proceedings. It was no doubt true the church would be successfully built, as he trusted ; but when erected, much, if not all, would depend upon the person on 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. The sittings would be free, and it was his mother's wish that who ever took charge of the church should find the pees fillca He felt sere that it was also the wish 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 in meeting on that occa sion with those whom they had now the pleasure 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. Park, and many thanks to him for his kindness on this occasion. (The toast was very cordially honoured.) The Rev. Mr. PARK begged to thank his lordship for the very kind manner in which he had been pleased to speak of him, and to drink his health, together with that of his rev, brethren. It must always be most pleasing and gra tifying to every Christian,and especially to every Christian minister, to witness such a scene as her ladyship's munifi cence had prepared for them in the ceremony of that day. Indeed, scarcely any spectacle could be more de 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 always be a pleasing reflection to her ladyship that she bad originated such a work ; and (said the rev. gentleman, turning towards the marchioness) I trust that on its full completion you may have the hap piness of seeing the people around filling family may this good deed be blessed to you and your (These 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 in seeing so many old friends of the family around her on that occa sion. 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, he had already very inade quately expressed his feelings with reference to the ad ditional church for the neighbourhood, of which her ladyship had 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 p`ulation. He happened to be a resident in early life in a locality where, with a population of 6,800, 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 thus set by her ladyship would be of the greatest value to the community. Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, M.P., then rose, and said, from a conversation he had had with her ladyship tha morning, he was deeply convinced that `she felt the warmest interest in that locality and all connected with it. He could not refrain from expressing his gratitude for the pleasure he had personally derived from his present visit to that neighbourhood. Being an early man he had got up at six o'clock to see what was to be seen, and he strolled about, no one knowing him. He wandered amongst the cottages, to the Docks, and the other works in the neighbourhood, and he was happy to say he bad found everything in the most perfect order. He found amongst the working classes a feeling of great contentment prevailing, and no wonder, seeing that her Ladyship, with every 3s. 6d. she paid to her labourers, gave them 3d. for keeping their cottages neat and clean, while she had that day been seen laying the foundation stone of a tabernacle in which they could worship their God. They might all 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 labonring population happy and comfortable. Mr. Lindsay proceeded to illustrate thisview by reference 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 free 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 gainer 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 if such an enlight ened course of policy as her ladyship had 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. The hon. member, in conclusion, begged the company to join him in drinking "The Health of Earl Vane." (The toast was drunk with every manifestation of the most cordial good feeling.) Earl VANE, in returning thanks, said he certainly did feel a deep interest in the neighbourhood, and following the precept and example of her ladyship, he was happy to share in some degree in the good wishes and kindly feelings expressed towards her. R. L. PEMBERTON, Esq., then begged to propose the health of one who, though not a native of the county of Durham, bad, from the time she first became connected with it, gained universal esteem and respect—the Countess Vane. (Applause.) He would propose " Long life and prosperity to Lord and Lady Vane." (The toast was very cordially drunk.) The company soon afterwards rose, and took leave of their noble entertainers • and thus concluded these in teresting proceedings, which will certainly ba loa as' ciatod 0314 Aiuds of all who partioipato4 ZJ~.".~SSLL J k RICE 4D.

"My lordEi have therefore determined to transfer the responsibility'' of the finsi entry of all artificers and labourers to this officer in each yard, and trust that, in so doing, they will have his active co-operation in watch ing closely that no workmen be admitted but such as are in all respects the beat to be obtained for her Majesty's service. "In confiding this duty to the superintendent, my lords do not intend merely to transfer.it to the heads of departments, but they rely upon the superintendent him. self giving active personal attention to the subject, with the vietv to the prevention of Any. Abuse of the power thus committed to him. " They believe that the wages and prospects of the service are sufficient to secure the beat workmen, and that there is no want of candidates is proved by the , _ number of applicants., "My lords cannot but expect that attempts will be made to support applications for employment by the aid of interest, either political or personal. They are aware that the connexion which must naturally exist between the officers of the different naval establishments and per sons residing in the neighbourhood affords much seope for the exercise of such influence. " They must therefore insist on every effort being made to check and put down all such interference, and to encourage applications 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 cot.- venient place, specifying the ease required and the day and hour fixed for the selection, which is then to be made publicly by the superintendent, assisted by the officers of the department, from the whole number who may present themselves. " Great care having been taken to select the 1)4)4 men, they are to be entered on probation for one month, with the un•ier , tandlng that their appointments will be con firmed, if at, the end of that period they shall have proved themselves competent to the satisfaction of the superin tendent. And with tile view of more easily acquiring this knowledge, my Lords would suggest that the super intendent should hold periodical nitu=ters of all these newly entered men. My Lords purpose 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, under their lordships' supervision. A list of the vacancies which it may be necessary to fill up will therefore be transmitted to the superinten.ent each month, which is to be returned by him at the beginning of the next filled up with the nausea 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 men who, having been entered the month before, have passed their period of probation, stating with reference to their competency whether they appear to the superintendent to be good, very good, or middling. " With regard to the entry of apprentices, the order in Council of March, 1363, will remain in force, with this exception, that my Lords propose to lonve to the superintendent the duty of placing the names of candi dates on the list prior to examination, whether they be connected with the service 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 didates placed in the order in which they pass, respec ' tive of their ages and height, and of the names, service, and character of their parents, and any remarks may be added which may be thought 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 his 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 suprintendent, 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 uch 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 efficient man any one who is not clearly and decidedly his supe rior in all respects. Unless this be carefully attended to, much injustice may be done and discontent occa sioned. "My Lords are convinced that the objects which they have so much at heart will, as regards selection 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 copy 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.

"Madam, Knowing your admiration for Miss Nightingale, will you be kind enough to tell me what kind of testimonial would be most acceptable to her, as we are most anxious to present her with some lasting proof of our affectionate admiration, and gratitude for her devoted services to our sick and wounded soldiers ?

" The one wish of her heart has long been to found a hospital in London, and to work it on her own system of unpaid nursing. For this purpose money will be needed, and I have suggested to all who, like yourself, have asked for my advice in this matter to pay any sums that they may feel disposed to give, or that they may be able to collect, into Messrs. Coutts's bank, where a sub scription list for the purpose is about to be opened, to be called the 'Nightingale Hospital Fund,' the sum subscribed to be presented to her on her return home, which will enable her to carry out her object—i. e., the reform of the nursing system in England.

Accordingly long before 11 o'clock, 's• the time fixed for her Majesty's arteral, a vast crowd \ Z 1; collected in the Champs Elysees. The only persons el- • lowed admission into the Palace were the holders of season tickets and exhibitors. The principal 'entrance • to the Palace was tastefully decorated with flowers and tapestry, and a carpet was laid down. Her Majesty left St. Cloud shortly before eleven in • an open carriage, and was accompanied by the Mu- ' peror, Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal. The - Prince of Walec was in the next carriage. As the Queen descended the Champs Elysees, the crowd shouted ",Viva la Reine " and when her Majesty reached the Exhibition , where the Wait crowd;denser;the cry became louder. r The Queen was received, on alighting from her 1 riaee, by Prince Napoleon, whom she cordially saluted,, Taking the Emperor's arm her Majesty entered the " Palace, and repeatedly aid most graciously bowed to the commissioners assembled OR both sides of the vesti bule. A military band struck up "God Save the Queen ! " and the people in the Palace raised a tremen !anus shout of " Vive la Reine ! " Prince Napoleter • placed himself by the side of the Queen, and PrinenP Albert fol'owed with the Princess Royal leaning arm. And the Prince of Wales. The Emperor then led the Queen to the transept, then turning to the right, her Majesty ascended by the French trophies to that of Deniere, where she turned into the courts containing the bronzes of France. v ; Her Majesty quitted the French court bt - Troroent Meuride'e trophy, and proceeding onwards, reached the • • top of the transept, and then turning to the left, went to the Prussian trophies. The trophies of Austria next excited the august visitor's attention. The Queen then turned into the court containing the splendid furniture of Furdinois and other macre.' 'Af terwards the Queen passed through the court of Liking ton and. Mason, and seemed pleased to find herself in the Epglish department. Descending the gallery of the baclJittle way, the Queen crossing another Court re born the transept just opposite the English marine trAT:-. Her Majesty then proceeded down the tran sepV,l6) the porcelain cases of Copeland, Daniel, and othett;' and there entered the court set apart to the pot. tfkry, and porcelains of Staffordshire. Here the produc. dons of Mintin and Co. and Wedgewood attracted her Majesty's notice. Then passing through the Sheffield court, the Queen entered the Manchester department, and from it proceeded to the centre of the transept. The Queen then proceeded to ascend to the French trophies, and as she did so raised her eyes towards the English galleries. Her Majesty appeared to be struck by the number of English flags, and turned round to call the attention of Prince Albert and the Prinoestr Royal to them. Arrived at the trophy of war her Majesty paused. In this trophy specimens 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 Barbedienne, the Queen examined with some interest the diamonds of M.Halphen, amongst which is the recently discovered " Southern Star," a rival to the Koh-i-noor. The Queen now quitted the palace by the great door leading from the transept, and paused for a moment in the garden to the left to obtain a little fresh air. The Emperor afterwards led her Majesty round the portour of the Panorama. In the course of the tour the royal party turned aside to visit the Gallery of Industrial Deigns, some of which Prince Albert examined with attention. After a short pause before the cluster of flowers which precedes Vie entrance of the Panorama, the Emperor 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 discovered. supplied funds from his privy purse to have experiments made with it. The Queen next as cended the estrade to examine the diamonds - of the Cniwn, 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 Majesty's attention to a reproduction in biscuit of the well-known statue of Joan of Arc, designed by the Princess Mary d'Orleans, daughter of Louis Philippe. The Queen and Prince also admired a vase of pate tendre ornamented with canticauat violets, which is a marvellous production, and which was brought specially from Sevres to be shown to them. It will most likely be offered to the Queen. The Royal party next inspected the productions of the Gobelins and Beauvais—all of which excited their admi ration. _ The inspection of the Panorama being terminated th• Queen and the august party partook of some slight re freshment. The Annexe, where her Majesty's arrival was saluted by the playing of "God save the Queen" by a military band was but slightly examined by the Queen and Prince. The Emperor turning to the right led the Queen up the alley in which the Anzin and Algerian exhibitions are placed, and then turned to the left of the French ma chines. The examination of the machines did not, how ever, extend to more than about two-thirds of the French department, the exhibition of ❑o other country being visited. On quitting this department, the Queen and Emperor proceeded to descend the lower part of the Annexe. Arrived in the Canadian department, her Majesty paused for a little while, and addressing Mr: Logan, one 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 de la Concorde, and proceeded to the Tuileries in court carriages. As hey Majesty drove off there were loud cries of Viva la Reins I " The Queen's visit lasted nearly two hours, and with the exception of the brief rest in the Panorama, her Majesty was on foot all the time. Hand carriages bad 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 employ4s, mixed themselves with the gentlemen . of the Imperial Commission and her Majesty's suite, and not only separated the Queen from her suite, but pressed far too near to where her Majesty was. Such was the disorder that when the Queeniwas 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 ladies of the suite were corns pleteiy 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 and greeted her Majesty most warmly. After some time, the Queen proceeded in a clo:e car riage to the Hotel of the British Embassy, the principal apartments of which her Majesty examined with attn. lien, and afterwards received some English persons of distii,ction. Her Majesty then returned to the Tuile ries, and rejoined the Emperor. Prince Albert, in the course of the afternoon, paid a visit to Prince Napoleon at the Palais-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 by the artistes of the Gymnase, the piece represented being Le Fil.9 de Fantille, with M. Bressant lending his assistance. The following details concerning the representation of Les I .ionoiselles de Saint-Cyr at the Palace of St. Cloud, on Monday, may prove interesting to your readers : The Queen of England and the Empress sat together in the centre of a range of seats, set apart for the Im perial and Royal families—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 Adalbert f Ba varia, and Prince Napoleon ; and at the left of the' Empress, Prince Albert, the Princess Mathilde, and the Prince of Wales. The display of diamonds was very dazzling. At the sides, the seats on a level with the Imperial box were occupied by the wives of the Minis ters and great functionaries, and behind these ladies were the great personages themselves. The pit was re served for officers of the army, members of the great bodies of the State. The comic parts of the perform: ance seemed to amuse the august party exceedingly, and diquett e frequently gave way to the irresistible pl ay of the performers.

Jupiter having quarrelled with the Goddess of Wisdom, makes a new set of admi nistrative arrangements, appointing the various gods and goddesses to the posts for which they are most unfit. Mars is made a maid-servant of all work ; Venal, nom ' mender of the forces ; Mercury, an accountant ; Tiers rules, cules, a laundress—and so forth. The result is a " mud dle," in the elegant language of .the title, till all things are put to rights by the return of Minerva. This idea is attempted to be worked out by doggrel verses and burlesque singing; but the whole thing is laboured, and sadly deficient in point.
