She did not appear to have been destroyed more than three weeks at most, as the wreck was on the top of the last ice and snow. They brought away her figurehead. The French ships Virginie and Sybille were fallen in with by the Pique a few miles to the northward of Hakodadi, on the way to Castries Bay, and when they heard of the harbour which the Barracouta had discovered they altered their course for it.

They had now come back to a state of peace, and he had no d oubt that the whole kingdom would continue in that E tate of prosperity in which it was before the war commenced. (Cheers.) Mr. WALKER proposed " The H ealth of the Bororgh Members," and in doing so spoke c f the great worth of Mr. Hadfield, whom he designated. as one of the most useful members of the House of Commons, and expressed his opiuion that if that hon. mem},er s uceeeded in his at tempts to cleanse the Augean stable of the ecclesiastical courts, he would have done as great. a service to his coun try as the hon. chairman of the Sebastopol conunittee. Mr. ROEBUCK, who, on rising, was received with loud cheers, said—Mr. Master Cutler,-1 have to return to you aid the gentlemen present my best. thanks for the manner in which they have received the proposal to drink my health and that of my hon. colleague. As he is not here, perhaps you will allow me to say that he has been to you a very useful representative. (Heat.) He has been to me also a very kind and efficient friend, and every day that I have passed in the House of Commons since his return has been rendered less onerous by his assistance. Therefore, I will say that in his behalf which I should be ashamed to say were he here. The noble Duke has called me the learned and somewhat aggressive member for Sheffield. I think that the noble Duke has hardly followed the history of my doings with respect to himself. For once in my life—and it was an astonishing circumstance,—l praised a man in the House of Commons ; that man was the noble Duke. (Cheers.) There are friends at this table who said upon that occasion that, contrary to my wont, I was illogical, and that I ruined my cause by the praise which I bestowed. I made a promise then in the Rouse of Commons which-1 intend to keep—that I would never Preisea.xpan again. (Laughter.) I then stated, what I . really believed, that the noble Duke had been made the scapegoat of his colleagues—(cheers)—that he was sincere in his desire to do all the duties of his office ; that he was industrious; that he was sedulous for the benefit of the army ; and that the army owed him a debt of gratitude. I said all this when the noble Duke was not present; but it was my fate to rouse him and his colleagues with a rattling peal of thunder, when I moved for the Sebastopol committee. But was I to blame for hat? Did not the people of England, and did not the House of Commons, go with me? I put it to the noble Duke if he thinks that I did not do my duty on that occa sion. ("Hear, hear," from the Duke of Newcastle.) Far be it from me to say where tho blame lay, but blame there was. I pointed out where the blame ought not to lay, and I hoped that that proceeding on my part would have been remembered. What were the circumstances ? Now, although it is a very useful rule at cutlers' feasts that no man shall talk politics, yet I find that politics are talked from the beginning to the end of the meetings. Am Ito be blamed for that? I didn't begin, or lead off the dance. I did't point out the figure. I only followed where others ----far my superiors —have led the way. Well, then, I ask you, gentlemen, that seeing our noble army was melting away—dying by thousands—not by the arms of the enemy, but by the neglect of friends—was I to blame for calling the attention of the people of England to that fact? That the noble Duke was driven from office I am exceedingly sorry, for I think he was a good and efficient servant of the Crown, and I think he would have received great aid from that committee had he remained in office. But the peculiar feelings of the noble Duke did not enable him to retain his office, and others came in that I cannot say are his superic;rs. (Cheers.) But for all these things am Ito be blamed ? (Cries of " No, no.") If not, I want to know what was the meaning of the statement made by the noble Duke of the aggressive nature of the hon. member for Sheffield ? I was aggressive, but it was on your behalf. I was aggressive, but it was for the noble army of England. (Cheers.) I was aggressive, but it was for the honour and safety of the country. I enders. voured to conciliate those two things, the safety of Eng land and the retention of the noble Duke, and when I found that to be incompatible, and believing that the one was far superior to the other, I threw myself and all that were with me into the scale in which ray country was. If I forgot the noble Duke I beg his pardon, and 1 hope I shall obtain it. (Cheers.) I shall pass from that aubjest. I think .I may say that I have vindicated myself, and that there is nothing in the mind of the noble Duke of asperity towards me—(" Hear, hear," from the Duke of Newcastle) —as I am quite sure there is nothing of asperity in me towards him. (Cheers.) There is one very significant subject in this evening's meeting. It is the appearance of the hon. gentleman the representative of America. Now, there is no man more willing than I am, more anxious than I am, to maintain a kindly feeling between the peo ple of this country and America. Many years of my youth were passed in that country. I know them well, and I like them. But I hope that his Excellency, who now re presents America here, represents the feeling of his coun try. lam quite sure that ho will Fee that upon this side of the Atlantic there is nothing but kindness and goodwill —a free, frank, and generous disposition towards the peo ple on the other side of the Atlantic. We are an old people; we are a proud people; we have that sort of pride that enables us to be careless of what is said about us. Now his is a young country. They have not acquired that pride. I wish they had. If they would know what is thought about them in this country let them look to meetings like the present ; and I assure the hon. gentle man his Excellency from America that there is no kindness and no goodwill which they can manifest on that side of the water that will not be reciprocated on this. We are desirous and anxious to consider them as our friends and relatives; but he must know, living in a free country, that the expression of opinion must be unfettered here. (Cheers.) He cannot expect that we would be sycophantic enough to praise everything American. We do not expect from them that they should praise everything English. There are blots upon both sides, but depend upon it that friendly criticisms on both sides of the water will do each other good. But there must be no unnecessary heat on either side. We must be just; we must be magnanimeus ; we must be generous ; we must be friends ; and if the Ame ricans choose to find fault with us, we shall accept their criticism, but we shall reciprocate the benefit by finding fault with them. (Laughter.) lam quite sure that much benefit will arise to both nations from this course of pro ceeding. Wo receive their literature, we receive all the advances they make in science. They take a fair proportion from us. For this literature we pay them well; and for their arts and sciences they are no losers by exchanging with us. Let them not grudge the greatness that belongs to us. Let them be free and frank (lea enthrals of England. Let thorn, honour the root from which they sprang. If they aro great, we are great. I believe that they aro ilestined to boa great people. We are that already. We have conferred benefits upon mankind that mankind can never forget. This may be a proud assumption, but it is both proud and true. " The Mayor and Corporation of Sheffield," proposed by Mr. M.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The committee appointed to consult with the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company at the half. yearly meeting on Friday last, with a view to a sweep ing alteration in the constitution of the board, have held two meetings. The first - a purely prelimivary one—was held on Tuesday last, at the offices of the Railway Re form Association, to consider how to use the power with which they had been entrusted in the manner most cal culated to benefit the shareholders. Although they were empowered by the terms of the resolution to consult as to which four of the directors should retire, they, with much good sense, decided upon leaving the selection to the board themselves, confining themselves to a request that an interview might take place between the parties to hear what decision the directors had come to. On Thursday accordingly they met again at the Shore ditch station at 1 o'clock—the directors having fixed 2 o'clock to receive them. We understand that during the interview the deputation were treated by the direc tors with anything but courtesy. In place of consulting with them, or even naming those of their l orly who were willing to retire, the directors refused to enter into the question at all till the views of the committee were put in writing. This was done, and the committee intimated that they waited an answer. After a delay of three-quarters of an hour the secretary of the railway told the deputation that the board would not give an immediate answer, but would return one by i:e.st in the evening. The committee felt that this was merely done as a means of delay, an•i very properly insisted on an immediate reply. The board then consented to receive them again, but merely to tell them, by the mouth of Mr. Commissioner Fane, that the directors would not make any such selection as that demanded. The treat• ment of the committee, some of whom have large inte rest in the company, was, we hear, such that they have expressed themselves very strongly on the subj,ct. It is stated to us that the ground on which the directors re fuse to decide upon who should retire from the board, in compliance with the almost unanimous vote of the recent half-yearly meeting, is, that they are not empowered by act of Parliament to do so. But this ob jection is met by the fact that directors have at all times the privilege of retiring from their duties ; so that, in truth, the present Eastern Counties Board, against whom a vote of want of confidence has been carried with very few dissentieots indeed, appear determined to stick fast to their position. We hear that a special meeting is to be called forth with for the purpose of submitting to the general body of proprietors the conduct of the beard. We also hear that Mr. Waddington has officially an nounced his resignation as director; and that Mr. Bruce, the chairman of the East Anglian, and an ex officio director of the Eastern Counties, has stated to his colleagues that ho will retire altogether from active par ticipation i❑ the proceedings.—Morning Herald.

On awaking at four o'clock on Monday morning, and discovering his lonely situation, he was excessively frightened, and made the sacred edifice resound with his cries fur release. .The noise, to the great disturbance of the neighbourhood, was heard for some time, but the locale of the young pri • mer was not discovered till eight o'clock, when he was liberated by Mr. T. Osborne, churchwarden.—Chclins ! ford Chronicle. The prospectus has been issued of a flax mills com pany, promoted by some leading agriculturists. The capital proposed is 100,0001. in 201. shares, and the olkert is to establish manufactories in districts cony& nient to she grower, the neglect of flax cultivation of late years being attributed mainly to there being no buyers within reach. The company also intend to avail them selves of rolling and washing, which, it i s s a id, increases the value of the flax fibre 151. to 30. per t m without any appreciable exper se. About 8,0001. is the estimate for the cost of each mill, and the annual outlay for working it and for the pn , chase of straw to make 250 tons of fibre will be 10,0001. The annual return, reckoning the fibre at 601. per ton, and the tow at 15/., is put down at 16,2001. Practical persons will be able to check for themselves the probable correctness of these expectations. Should they be borne out in any satis factory degree a new and most important element of profit will be introduced into the calculations of the far mer, while at the same time the anticipations realised will be such as have for a long time been strongly dwelt ,r upon by many intelligent persons. 2,790 6,814 )4,173 6,,525 207 :1,367 1,797 1,530 941 1,520 813 7,792 23,116 6,250 7,055 7,253 23,061 8,404 30,398 257 7,171 2ki 271 GB,' 07 1,817 18,710 0,222 646 9,935 856 931 81,8 )6 3,711 5,BiG 7,208 1,215 TILE CUTLERS' If'EAST. SHEFFIELD, SEPT. 5. The annual feast of the Ancient Corporation of the Cut lers of Sheffield took place last night at the Cutlers'-hall in this town. The great attraction of this dinner is derived from the presence of the distinguished strangers who upon such occasions are usually invited, and yesterday the new Master Cutler (Mr. Wostenholm) was honoured by the company of the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Dallas, the Ame rican Minister, Mr. Milnes, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. B. Denison, M.P., Lord Denman, Lord G. Manners, the Mayor of Grimsby and Doncaster, M. Gudin, of the French navy, Mr. Bessemer, whose im portant improvement in the manufacture of iron is now attracting such general attraction, and a general company of about 203 of the principal inhabitants of Sheffield, and friends from a distance. The Master Cutler occupied tho chair, and the cloth having been removed, the usual loyal toasts were disposed of. The MASTER CUTLER, in proposing " Tho Army and Navy," remarked that England, to be wealthy, successful, and free, must be strong. It was by might as well as right that they must hope to preserve their present position among the nations of the world. We must maintain and strengthen that noble British navy which floated on every water, and whose flag was respected by all nations, and we must also cherish and support that gallant army whose prowess had been distinguished in so many victories. The names of Wellington, of Nelson, and of Marlborough had become household words. " Who does his best where circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more." A.nd our triumphs in the late war, in the battle field of Alma, on the heights of Inkerman, at the deadly charge of Balaklava, in the perilous trenches about Sebastopol, before the wall of the doomed fortress, had acted the part of heroes. (Cheers.) Colonel FIODGE, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, now sta tioned at Sheffield, acknowledged the toast. The MASTER CUTLER, observing that they were ho noured upon the present occasion with the presence of a distinguished French officer, said it gave him great plea sure to propose the health of the Emperor of the French, coupling the toast with the name of M. Gudin. He was quite sure that the people of England, and none more than those of Sheffield, appreciated most highly tke friendly feeling which happily subsisted between the two nations. M. GUDIN, in returning thanks, said that nothing had pleased him more than the last toast—that of the English army and navy. He was sorry to say that England and France had been pitted against each other too long, but perhaps there was no great harm done, for as they had tested each other's courage in the field they could now fight with greater confidence together against any enemy who might present himself. (Hear, hear.) But peace had come, and for that reason Birmingham might well be jealous of Sheffield, for Birmingham forged weapons of war while Sheffield forged knives and forks—knives with which when young we used to cut our pens to write love letters, but when old to write accounts. (Cheers, and laughter,) He was quite sure that the knife which was to cut the tie which bound Englancrat — iTriaticeTogether would never be forged in Sheffield. (Cheers.) He had the pleasure of personally knowing the Emperor of the French, and had the honour of presenting to him Mr. Bessemer, who had received great encouragement and support from him. The people of France were deeply indebted to England for the noble subscriptions they had raised for the relief of the sufferers from the late terrible inundations which had taken place in his country. He concluded by drinking "Health and Prosperity to the good, noble, ancient, and wealthy town of Sheffield." "The Health of the Duke of Norfolk" having been drunk, The MASTER CUTLER proposed that of " The Duke of Newcastle," observing that the diligence shown by the noble Duke with regard to the public service had procured him general confidence and. esteem. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE, who on rising was greeted with general :cheering, said—Mr. Master Cutler, often as your predecessors in the chair have invited me to your hospitable board, and greatly as I have desired upon each successive occasion to appear among you to renew some friendships and to originat ~ as I hope, other acquaintance ships which may afterwards ripen into intimacy, circum stances of various kinds have hitherto prevented my being here, and I say, with no mock humility, that I am unable to account for the fervour and kindness with which you have received my name. However anxious I might be in my public capacity, as a member of the Legislature or as a Minister of the Crown, I know of nothing which has en titled me to such a reception at your hands. The Master Cutler has referred to the offices I have held in the Govern ment of the country. I do not forget at this moment the remark, "Abuse me as much as you like, but for Heaven's sake don't pas.) me over in silence"—(a laugh) —and if I am not to depart from this axiom, all I can say is that I feel I have deep reason to be grateful for much that ha been said, and, still more, that has been written of me within a very recent period Upon this occasion politics ire properly excluded, nor will I be the first to encroach upon that wholesome rule; and, although the Master Cut ler alluded more especially to the office I lately held of Secretary of War, I will not be tempted even by that alla sion into any vindication of myself, however well it might be received by you. Nay, more, I will not be tempted by the presence even of my hon. and learned but somewhat aggressive friend ,the member for Sheffield —(1 sughter)— to enter into any explanations on this point. The time may come when—nay, lam ready at this moment—l shall see fit to venture on so audacious an act as to break a lance with him. But the time still more probably will come when the publication of documents will establish facts which may induce even my hon. and learned friend to some what modify his opinion. At all events, you will, lam sure, be convinced that the long and determined silence which I have niaintaiued for many months past has been dictated by other and higher motives than au acceptance of the blame which has been cast upon me, or an entire acqui essence in much of the self-laudation which has been as sumed by others. I will only make this further allusion to my xecent connexion with the Government of the coun try, that, having resolved from the hour that I gave up the seals of cam that I would go to the Crimea and visit that army myself, as well for the clearance of my own con science as to acquire a knowledge which I know neither I nor any one else in this country possessed—having deter mined to go in spite of the earnest remonstrances of many sincere friends, I only felt one regret, and that was that I had not for a companion, when visiting the trenches, the camp, and the hospitals, the hon. chairman of the Sebas topol Committee. (Laughter and cheers.) I assure the hon. gentleman, however, that that feeling was not dictated by the circumstances of the numerous balls of various sorts and sizes that occasionally whizzed about my head, but that he might have the opportunity of witnessing the uni form and generous kindness with which I was received, not only by the officers, but by every private in the army. (Cheers.) And let me say that before I left the camp my grey jacket and white cap became as well known to the pri vates as the uniform of their own officers. (Cheers.) Enough and more than enough upon a topic upon which I would not have ventured to address a word had it not been for the allusion you, sir, made. Now let Ina turn to a more agreeable and more important theme, and congratulate you upon having among you, for the first time, I believe, a dis tinguished representative of, I will not say a foreign, but a cognate country—(cheo ts) —the representative of a coun try the like of which has never yet been seen, springing as it has dune to so mighty a size, and into such immense political importance, within so short a space of time ; for the United States at this moment can reckon very little more than the ordinary span of a human life. There are men now alive who can remember the Declaration of Independence. I believe it only reckons some four score years' existence as a nation, and yet in that short space of time it has increased in population from little more than 2,00 ),C Oto something short of 30,000,000 of inhabitants, while the country has ex- ended from a mere seaboard to an extensive continent, and we now greet in this isle one of the roost distinguished men as its representative. (Cheers.) The reception you have given to my faint allusion to his merits will convinco him, if conviction were necessary to a mind of his enlight enment, that not only this community, but those who are bound up with the interests of the community—l speak of the whole country—are resolved to do everything in their power to maintain the most friendly relations with it. (Cheers.) I am satisfied he will be convinced that this country would make every sacrifice but one to avoid a war with the United States ; and that one he would, I am sure, never wish to filch from us—l mean the sacrifice of honour. We must not be alarmed if occasionally some little eitficul ties arise between us and our Transatlantic brethren, for I believe it is the nature of the two freest count' ies in the world that there should be a difficulty occasionally in maintaining peace between them, which wises from the very circumstence that they are the two freest counteies in the world. We should see, therefore, that the relation ship between England and the United States be carefully maintained ; but of this I am certain, that so long as we have such a representative from the United States as is here to-night, there is little probability of any rupture be tween the two countries. I believe that the exportation of uuwrought steel—not to speak of manufactured articles — from this town to America amounts at present to 0,000 tons, which of itself forms not a golden, but an iron link between the two countlies. I congratulate you upon the present prosperous state of your town ; and lam not afraid of ad dressing you in terms of congratulation, for it has been of such a duration as to promise that it will not only con tinue but increase. I will not go into the causes to which that prosperity may be attributed. I believe it is due, not merely to the course which Parliament has ptirsued within the last 10 years, but also to the greatly improved eeling existing between the masters and the workmen, and [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• to the confidence and goodwill which appear to have alai mated all classes of society. I can remember visiting Shef field when I was not able to make these pleasing observa tions, but at periods when masters were distrustful and the workmen in something like a state of revolt. In short, Sheffield fluctuated between alternations of prosperityand distress, and distress at one time continued so long that it threatened to break the hearts of its inhabitants, and to make them apprehensive that the prosperity of this an cient town had indeed come to an end. Bat I believe that within the last few days a most important element of fu ture prosperity has arisen among you. I think that that great discovery will not only increase the prosperity of this town, but be of lasting benefit to the country at large. I sllade of course t the wonderful discovery of Mr. Bessemer. Perhaps as a coalowner I ought to be a little afraid, but I have such confidence in my politico-economic creed that I believe, however Mr. Bessemer may reduce the consump tion of coal, your prosperity will equally tend to produce my prosperity, nor do I pretend to be extremely disinte. rested when I express my earnest hope that that great dis covery may produce all the benefits which I most sanguinely anticipate from it. I believe there never was a time within the memory of most of us when all party politics ere at so low an ebb, and party feelings so little iuflu enced men as at the present moment. Ido not deny that this may have some disadvantage, but I speak feelingly when I say that, isolated as I am from public life, disconnected from every party whatever, I am a somewhat useless individual. (Cries of " No," and cheers.) But this state of things has this great ad vantage—itis a season when all social improvements may be greatly promoted. For instance, we see at this moment persona of all creeds and political professions—men who en tertain on a - variety of subjects the most different opinions —uniting together without any party feeling to obtain one common end in the promotion of the education of the people. Still mere recently we have seen an important movement made for the reformation of juvenile offenders. These are most important social questions, and I know that in the town of Sheffield they have never been neglected, I know that recently you have appointed a committee upon tee subject of the reformation of juvenile criminals, who have reported at considerable length, with a view to the practical adaptation of- the principles so ably discussed at Bristol. (Hear.) If I allude to these important social ques tions I do so with the hope that another important point will not be forgotten—l mean the improvement of the physical condition of the people ; for I am convinced you must go to the root of the evil, and while endeavouring to promote the reformation of juvenile offenders you must weed and root out the nascent seeds of vice before they have pervaded the minds of the young. Never let us for get that while we should support schools it is our duty to improve the physical condition of the people, without which all our efforts will prove feeble and ineffective. if there is one politico-economic axiom more admitted than another, it is that crime is in exact proportion to the poverty of the country. I know of nothing more certain than that if you succeed in rendering the situation of the labouring classes of the country more prosperous you will, to a certain extent, eradicate and prevent crime. Look at that country a short distance across the water, which has afforded to every statesman a lesson that he should learn and ponder upon every hour of his life. What was the condition of Ire land some years ago compared with its present state ? Seven or eight short years have elapsed, and the convic tions in that country have been reduced from 21,000 in the year to not more than 5,000; and can you doubt that that state of things has arisen from anything else than the improved physical condition of the people ? And, again, look at home, at what has taken place in your own county, the West Riding, and you will find that even within the last six months the diminution of pauperism is extraordi nary, while in the neighbouring county, to which I be long, it has been reduced from 1$ to 16 per cent. These , are subjects not merely for rejoicing, but for instruction, and show us that while we support reformatories and edu cation we ought to do everything which can better the physical condition of the labouring classes, and never forget that it is not the position, wealth, and patriotism of the aristocracy, but the industry, the enterprise, the riches, and the virtues of the middle classes, which, combined with the prosperity of the working population, produce the chief strength of the nation. With peace we may hope to continue happy and prosperous, for with these we may be assured of strength in war. Nobody knows better than an assembly of this character that the strength of a beam is just equal to the tensile power of its weakest part, and I trust we shall always endeavour to strengthen the weakest part in the body politic that it may be enabled to bear that pressure which must ere long from many quarters be brought to bear upon it. (Cheers.) The noble duke con cluded by again thanking the company for the kind recep tion they had given him. The MASTER CUTLAIR, in giving " the health of the American Minister," said he should have been proud to have the honour of his company at any time, but it was doubly welcome now after the settlement of the recent complications with the country he represented. The toast was drunk enthusiastically. Mr. DALLIS, on rising, was received with a burst of cheering. He said—As I had never been at Sheffield, it was with very great pleasure thatl accepted the invitation moat kindly transmitted to me on this occasion. An American citizen and a representative naturally desires to see a community so eminently distinguished for its indus trial energies, of whose active enterprise it is impossible that he can be ignorant. But I did not flatter myself with the hope that I should receive a welcome so cordial as that with which you have greeted me. It is too little merited by your unknown guest to be regarded by him iu any other light than as a sign of generous amity towards his country. (Cheers.) As such it is received and recipro cated with the highest gratification and the warmest thanks. (Cheers.) Like yourselves, the sons of the Wes tern Republic love the land to which they belong, and they listen, especially when abroad, as to sweet music, to those who express towards her sentiments of friendship, of hon our, and of goodwill. (Cheers.) It is not for me, a mere stranger, to refer to the local topics of interest which justly pre-occupy your minds. As to them lam a mere looker-on, eager for instruction and anxious to understand. But as, perhaps, not the least inappropriate to the occa sion among the numberless vestiges of this progressive age, let mo allure your minds to a single one, perhaps the latest, which I think must be of groat moment to the social relations existing between the two nations. Let us hope that the consequences may be mutually advantage ous. You have probably heard of the irrepressible cupi dity of my countrymen. They aro about to undertake a daring exploit of annexation—an annexation that will at once embrace these islands, and must ultimately include all Europe, Asia, and Africa. (A. laugh.) I have actually in my possession a piece of a bar which has been forged to bind those three Eastern venerable continents to the fresh one of Columbia. We say in the far West that you pos sess accumulated treasures, which we covet and must have. (Hear.) The great discoveries of your explorers in the earth and in the heavens are innumerable, and the additions made to the comfort and happiness of the human race by you are hundreds of millions ; the schemes of your commerce, every step you make in morals, in jur isprudenco, in the press, even in finance and the stocks, we want and we must have, and have them as, quickly as yourselves. We are aware that there is not in the wings of the carrier-pigeon strength enough for this, and that steam is too wretchedly slow for our impatience. Bat a subterranean electric cable, with one grapple at St. John's, Newfoundland, and the other at Valeutia in Ire land, resting on 1,700 miles, secure and indestructible in the depths of the Pacific, will realise all our objects, achieve all the desires of our hearts, and rivet an annexation more wonderful and infinitely more praiseworthy than that of Texas or of °tido. I should not have indulged in this flight, even to beguile you for a moment, were you not perfectly satisfied that the astonishiug fact whence it has sprung is no longer disputable. Our two countries, the dominions of her Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, though separated by the stormy sea thousands of wiles in width, will, in the course of coming years, be drawn by the magical machinery, so to speak, of science, within con versational distance of each other. The preliminary sound ings were perfected a few days ago between these two great arteries of sympathy of thought. I wish the lino were now in operation, and why ? Because I would instantly illus trate its most glorious adaptation to the promotion of good will among men in distant places by sending your toasts to l ey compatriots, and giving you before you rose from this table a full-hearted American response. (Cheers.) " The Health of the Chairman" having been drunk on the proposition of the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. DUNN gave "The Health of the Members of the West Riding." Mr. B. Ds NISON returned thanks, observing that it was now two years since lie bad been called upon to respond to the toast, it not having been in his power last year to be present. In that period groat events had taken place ; mighty battles had been fought., and splendid victories won, until at last the armies of England, conjoined with those of their great ally, had at last been crowned with suaeess. We sent our soldiers to take Sebastopol, and they had done it. The war had begun while his noble friend the Duke of Newcastle was one, and, in his opinion, one of the most efficient, of the Ministry. (Lou 't cheers.) That nobleman worked from morning till night and night till morning. (Hear, hear.) He was the most abused of any man in the service, and, as he (Mr. Denison) maintained, had been most grossly calumniated. But the page of his tory would reveal the truth—(cheers) —and, as be believed, would record the fact that the noble duke had been made the scapegoat of the Ministry and the party. What his colleagues had not been permitted to carry out their suc cessors had executed most satisfactorily, and he must say that, in his opinion, Lord Palmerston deserved the thanks of the 'United Kingdom. (Cheers.) He had nothing to do 183% 283 2034 3:41 25!i 90 28614 161 C 37 514 183% 267 173 N 28 498 3 4 125 y Y 52 78% 149 233 8714 32 29% 573( 289 937 2,606 6,909 12,a17 6,7 53 192 1,432 1,744 1,Z90 773 1,474 873 7,31,1 22,693 5,890 6,701 6,640 22,693 6,959 28,153 187 6 859 23,167 65.549 1,723 18,563 17,571 9,070 975 31,167 3,264 5,676 7,100 1,244 1,458 2,878 7il 25,126 6,417 1,634 3,340 1,34 1,035 722 346 2,593 3,588 1, gr. •-latie , Simi ) " inner. l uareo Sc, le ilooD, orter► 800 , „Col.
