( Applause. ) F or my se lf, it I is enough to say I was born and bred a sailor—(hear) — and I have but one feeling, and that is in favour of sea men. I have experienced their conduct, and I know them to be as loyal to their Sovereign as they are de voted to their country, and I owe to them a deep debt of gratitude for their good conduct in every ship I have commanded. Gentlemen, I will not talk about their skill and daring in danger, but I will give you the words of a great man, Lord Collingwood—(loud cheers)—who, after the battle of Trafalgar, said of his seamen, " Every man appeared a hero, on whom the honour of his coon try depended." Gentlemen, it is for these men , that we have built the Sailors' Home ; it is these men we wish to encourage, —men who do their duty in every situ ation in which they are placed. It is their cause I re. commend to you, and with all the advantages we have had to-day in the presence and support of the mayors of the different towns _in the neighbourhood, not only those of North and South Shields, but also those of distant towns, in this instance distance lends enchant r meat to the cause, and I believe I leave it in good keep- saved from shipwreck at sea, is too often ship wrecked on shore." (Applause.) The lime which be had nobly founded was placed there for the sole object of saving poor Jack on shore—to save him from those dens of vice and iniquity into which he was plunged, robbed, and then turned homeless, penniless, and friend less upon the streets. But they had Bow to get their sailors into the Home. There were many who did not de sire that the sailor should take up his abode in such a building. There were lodginghouse keepers and crimps whose interest it was to get a picking out of the pocket of poor, poor Sack, and they persuaded him that he had better remain with them.. They would require to work together to maintain the Home, for they could not carry ORSINI IN NEWCASTLE. Now ready, at all the libraries, In 2 vols., DGAR BARDON, By W.

NORTH SHIELDS, Tuesday Night.—ln consequence of the opening of the Tyne Sailors' Home by the Duke of Northumberland the two large seaport towns of Shields kept a general holiday to-day, and about 40,000 persons have been out in the streets to witness the procession formed to meet his grace, and escort him to the opening of that building. The corporations of North and South Shields, at special meetings of their respective councils, bad adopted addresses, which the mayors and town clerks were deputed to present ; and to-day about noon an im mense procession, consisting of the mayors and corpora. Felice Orsini addressed a large audience at Newcastle on-Tyne last Monday on the present state of Italy. Sir John Fife took the chair. Signor OBSINI drew a moving picture of the - wrongs and oppressions of his country under the Austrians, and powerfully swayed the sympathies of his audience. Al luding to himself, he said, with deep earnestness—lt makes me shudder to remember what I suffered under these circumstances, and to which all are exposed in CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road. ..."--/ —opEN.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A purse, accompanied by a silver tankard of exquisite workmanship, together of the Value of 100 gtineaa, has been presented to Mr. John Madagan, the superintendent of the South-Wes tern Railway station at Windsor. This officer, by un• remitting attention to bis duties and to the comfort and convenience of travellers by the line, coupled with his uniform polite and obliging manner?, has secured for him-elf the esteem of the town and neighbourhood of Windsor. , The tankard bears the following inscrip tion : --" Presented to Mr. John Madagan, of the South-Western Railway Station, Windsor, by the season p ticket-holders and other passengers, as a trifling ac knowledgment of his unremitting attention to his dutios and the promotion of their comforVa4 travellers." We trust that, Mr. Madagan may long live to enjoy the well e.,!.triacct&iittliatiering testimonial and the growing esteem of a neighbout flood which has SI gracefully exhibited its sense of his worth. Gateshead, the members for the boroughs and county, the Mayor of Sunderland, a great number of the leading shipowners, coalowners, and merchants on the Tyne, and other leading persons connected with the trade of the district, with a large body of seamen and fishermen, headed by bands,. banners, &c., marched to the railway station to meet the duke, who reached Shields about half-past twelve o'clock, in his carriage, accompanied by Sir T. Rerbert, M.P., and Mr. Bartlewan, the chair man of the committee of the Sailors' Home. His Grace was received by the large concourse of people with im mense cheering, and the rrocession proceeded to the Sailors' Home amid the ringing of the church bells and the firing of cannon from a large fleet of merchant ves• sels in the river, which, from an early hour in the morn ing, bad been decorated with flags. The Home is situated on the New-quay, and commands a very fine view of Shields harbour. It is admirably located as a home and place of accommodation for seamen, and is A truly uubte St/Mature. will ooeb the Duko of Iforthwnberland between 8,0001. and 9,0001., and, as has been before stated in The Sun, is a free gift to the port, the merchants, shipowners, and other inhabi tants of the district contributing 3,0001. to its endow ment ; thus enabling the managers of the institution to offer , better accommodation, at a lower rate, to the sea men than the crimps and publicans who have heretofore taken in sailors to lodge, and -in too many instances "done 7 for them, in the miserable low streets of tE• town, a"sort of Tyne Wapping. The basement storey of the building is occupied as a shipping-office, sailors'money order-office„ and saving-bank, the two latter established by the Board of Trade. There are also in the same range a largekitchen for cooking dinners for 150 seamen, baths, and an extensive laundry, fitted up in a superior manner. The other storeys of the building contain large dining rooms, smoking rooms, a long room for meetings, a reading room, a hospital for the sick, a navigation school, a large warehouse for storing seamen's effects, and dor mitories for 150 men. It is fitted up with every regard to 'the comfort and"convenience of the class for whom it is intended, and the establishment is the result of the most comprehensive effort that has yet been under taken in the north-eastern ports to improve the social habits of the seafaring population. But for the munifi cence of the Duke of Northumberland the erection of such a building might not have been accomplished for some yours to c)me. Shortly after the procession reached the Home the cor• porate bodies and other leading inhabitants met in the Long-room by invitation of _the committee, and several addresses were presented to his Grace. The whole of the addresses having been presented, His GRACE advanced to the front of the platform, and was saluted with immense cheering. He said— Gentlemen, when I was invited to take the chair at this meeting I certainly was prepared for a statement from the executive committee as to the proceedings of the Sailors' Honie, and an expression of their satis faction at the happy completion of this part of their labours—(eheers)--but I was not prepared for an ad- dress from the Mayor and corporation, nor that from the Mayor and corporation of South Shields, nor for the address I have just received from Cullercoats. I can only say to you, gentlemen, collectively and indivi- dually, that I offer to you my most sincere thanks and acknowledgments, not only for the honour conferred upon me, but also for the manner in which yonr appro. val has been expressed. (Cheers.) As to this building and the accommodation which it may afford to seamen, you have an opportunity of examining and judging for yourselves. It appears that it will bold 150 seamen, and, although only 60 cabins are now ready, others may be got ready as required. (Cheers.) I have heard witti great satisfaction the statement of the executive corn- mittee as to the rapid increase in the tonnage registered in the Tyne, amounting :to 406,350 tons within the yea: 1855, being I.llth of the tonnage of the United Kingdom, and, as expressed by the Mayor of Tyne mouth, nearly equal to half the sailing tonnage of Scotland, and more than the whole of Ireland. Loud cheers.) It is also a matter of very great surprise that there are 216 steam vessels in - the Tyne. In the year 1814 the first steamvessel was built upon the Tyne, and I think upon Ascension- day it was launched in honour of the procession of the conservators of the river. We must not forget either the great increase in the foreign trade of this port. In the year 1855 of our staple commodity, coals and coke, there were exported foreign 1,577,975 tons, while in 1840, 15 years before, only one-third of that quantity was ex ported. Besides other advantages there are now between these important towns of ,North and South Shields three steam ferries, and railwaycommunication was completed in 1539 with Newcastle, and thence to the whole king• dom. Gentlemen, I trust that all tho improvements of the Tyne will continue—(cheers)—that the improvements which are now taking place at the mouth of the Tyne by the formation of piers, the deepening of the channel of the river, and the proposed docks upon its banks, will facilitate and increase material advantages to all. (Loud cheers.) But to revert once more to this institution, and to its intended inmates, I am sorry to say that the sailor, who exhibits his skill, perseverance, and daring on board, and overcomes all the difficulties of the seafaring life, when he comes on shore falls too often into tho %ands of those who wish him ill. He is careless of his earnings, and to him is not inapplicable that line of Dry den'e,— " Seved from the sea, but shipwrecked on the shore." (Applause.) It bas been wisely determined to establish in connection with this institution a savings -bank, where the eeaman may deposit his earrings, and remit theta to his family as he thinks fit. There are also schools ta blished under the pa(roeage of the Government, but there is one thing more. While we look after the s ailor's comfort, his health, and his pecuniary affairs, let us not forget that which is of more essential importance—bis religion and morals. (Applause.) I wish to bring that point particularly under your notice. It is quite certain that we should leave men not only happier, but better than they were before ; for this is the only principle of doing good. In that, by the blessing of God, we shall suc ceed, as we have in founding this institution. And now I have only to declare that the Sailors' Home is open to the sailors of vessels entering the port of Tyne. (Loud cheers.) The meeting concluded with three times three for the Duke, and one more for the Duchess. The procession then re-formed and proceeded to the Albion Assembly rooms, where a dinner in honour of the event was given. Precisely at three o'clock his Grace the Duke of Northumberland entered the rooms, where he was greeted by vociferous cheering from the 500 gentlemen who sat down to partake of the repast provided. The rooms were beautifully decorated with evergreens, feral designs, and naval emblem s ; at one end was stationed the band of the Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, which at inter vats enlivened the proceedings with numerous martial airs, while the piper attached to Alnwick Castle paraded the apartment an d excited a good deal of interest. His Grace presid e d, supported by Mr. Alderman Bargeman, Mr. Robe r t I ng h am, M.P., and on th e l e ft b y the Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. T. E. Headlam, M.P., Si r M . W . Ridley, B art., Mayor of Tynernouth, Mr. H. G. Liddell, BMarf.:pt. Hall, of H.M.S.scaMr-Hu ghTi Blenheim';Walteraylor,Sirand Riddell, theß. vice-chairs were occupied by Mr. Alderman Pow, Mr. J. Dryden, and Mr. J. Straker. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of, M. Alderman BARTLEMAN rose and expressed regret that the railss ay arrangements prevented the noble chair man's further stay among them, and returned thanks on the part of the inhabitants of the town of Shields for the honour they bad received by his Grace's visit and for his liberality in coming forward to support an institution like that they had just oponed for the benefit of the sea men entering the port. He concluded by proposing his grace's health, which was drunk with three times three. The noble CHAIRMAN, in reply, said—Gentlem en , I sincerely thank you for the kind reception you have given me here, in this your town, to-day. Indeed, I will not waste words t express to you what I feel ; but it has been a source of great gratification to me to-day to seethe way in which all classes have met to show their sympathies with and appreciation of the British sailor, ing. • The noble Duke then vacated the chair, and pro'• seeded to the railway station, on his return to Aln wick Castle, amid immense cheering. Mr. Alderman BARTLEMAN, the chairman of the Sailors' Home Committee, having been called upon to s upply the ,vacant post of ch a irman, p roposed_" ou>` foreign Alliances in all Parts of the World," coupling with it the name of the Emperor of the French. The French Consul at Newcastle-on 4 yrie briefly rep sponded. Six Vir.33. RIDDELL. proposed "-Somas to the Sailors! Heme.",, : In doing so he alluded to the present meet- ing having assembled under the auspices of the noble founder of the home so successfully and pleasantly in augurated in the morning, under as bright a sun as one could expect" at this season of the year. He trusted that Rot only for years, but for centuries to come, that home might be successful, useful, and prosperous, and that the proceedings of that day might be recollected among the seamen of the borough and port of Shields as a peaceful commemoration of the day celebrated as the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar. No day could have been better selected far opening a hems for seamen than the day which was still familiar to the hearts of all of them, and upon which they all looked for a holiday. He could not propose the toast which had been intrusted to him without shortly adverting to the circumstances of its foundation. When the Duke munificently proposed to erect a Sailors' Home, upon his grounds a subscription was set on foot, to which he proposed largely to contri huts, and to which subscriptions were solicited from the various merchants in the port. In this way 1,500/. was collected. When that was done the noble Duke said, "I will build the home, provided that you will endow it with the money you have collected." This was done, and the home was built. It next became necessary to provide for the comfortable furnishing of the home. The Duchess of Northumberland subscribed liberally towards this object, and, he believed, another 1,500/, was col lected. His Grace then said, "I will furnish the home if you will add the additional . subscriptions to the endow ment fund"—(loud applause)—and then, as if his muni ficence had no limits, he took another step ; when the committee found that in all probability the expenses of providing a superintendent and steward for the home would more than exhaust their means his Grace gene rously undertook, for a time at least, that these officers were to be paid by him. (Hear.) He (the speaker) be lieved their sympathies would assure him he was not wrong, for in proposing the toast he should not have done justice to it if be had not adverted to these circum stance.. He concluded by proposing the toast, with thanks to the executive committee, coupling with it the name of the chairman, Alderman Bartleman, Sir M. W. RIDLEY gave " Her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland," which toast was received with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN gave "The Mayors and Corporations of the neighbouring boroughs, which was responded to by Mr. Stainton, mayor of South Shields. The Hon. H. G. LIDDELL, M.P., proposed "the trade and port of Tyne, especially the shipping and seamen connected therewith." He said he was born and bred upon the Tyne, and could say with truth that so long as the great interests which were confided' to his chirge were continued he would watch with fatherly affection over the interests of the port of Tyne. He could dilate upon this subject, for it was a fruitful theme, but if that assembly wanted proof of the importance of the Tyne he could refer them to the different import and ex port lists. This had been a very memorable day in the history of Tynemouth. They bed seen an institution erected, supported, and opened under the patronage of that noble duke who had just left the room, and perhaps in his absence he might be allowed to say one word, and add one slight tribute of praise to his conduct upon this occasion. He might sum up the character of the noble duke in a few words. He was a man who thought little of himself and much of others—(applaase),—and he was of opinion that his behaviour that day had shoka them that he was ready at all times to sacrifice his own comfort for the welfare of others. The noble duke bad presided at the opening of that great work, and the recep tion they had given him must have been very highly grati fying to him, and he (sir. Liddell) could only say that he deserved it. (Applause.) These were the actions which ennobled our nobility—(applause)—and these were the tiesiibsfiiav society innmdctdiedeiwe by yi • between cuh:;myo h t:dt ievsho i oi tse c ffeplot h rsfeseywoeerf t nediroe h yagesgrnts e dh(t mh,rtthute h nei aoeian i oeiitrigt:tenthi. young, sectionst, ornaments ooi drrruwutiaaetganyarcnhosgeeml indigent; a a r,:ny; eff s thtoht s pncsebeh e etoro s of this country had con nected themselves with and endeared themselves to those who belonged to the less favoured classes of our fellow. countrymen.

Even the thief had his refuge, and the felon had his home. (Loud cheers.) Now, for those who were more immediately concerned, those who went down t ) the sea in ships and did business in great waters, th• duke, and those benevolent men who were connected with him, discovering that it was not sufficient to give alms houses and pensions to those who had grown grey in their country's service, had considered their unprotected case when ashore, and built the magnificent house of re• sort which they bad just opened. He had said that this I was a pleasing sign of the times, and so long as this sympathy continued to exist among the higher classes they would have union in place of envy, and England would remain, ?ghat she had long beer., that nation to which ne other country could furnish a parallel. (Loud applause.) The hon. gentleman concluded by proposing the toast, coupling with it the name of Mr. John Dry. den. Mr. DRYDEN briefly acknowledged the toast. In the course of his remarks he said, as a person connected with Northumberland, that every Northumbrian'e heart must beat with joy when be knew that the noble institution they had just inaugurated emanated from the noble house of Percy. (Applause.) After they had all passed and gone that noble institution would exist, a monument to the great man who had just left them. He had im mense wealth, and, what was better, he had a heart to dispose of it. If there was one shipowner in that room who bad not yet given his mite to he Home, let him do so at once, and he would never rue the day ; and after he had .ceased his earthly career his children and his children's children might look upon that splendid insti tution and say, "My father, or my father's father, sub scribed to that institution." (Loud cheering.) Mr. JOSEPH STRAKER, a Commissioner of the Tyne, proposed "The health of Mr. W. Lindsay, M.P. 'er Tynemouth, and the other members of Parliament pre sent," which having been duly honoured, Mr. LINDSAY responded. After some preliminary re marks upon the duties of a member of Parliament he expressed peculiar pleasure in being present at the meet ing, he being himself a sailor, a shipowner, and the re presentative of a port which he was more pioud to repre sent than he would be any other in the country. In his position he felt more than ordinary interest in the day's proceedings, but trained as he had been in the fore castle of a ship, and knowing the sailor on the sea and on the shore as he did, one oc two remarks which fell from the noble duke struck to the very bottom of his heart and caused the tears to trickle down his cheeks. It was a worthy remark to fall from the head of the old house of Percy—it was a worthy remark to fall from one who had himself commanded a s hip 'and had been First L srd of the Admiralty—." Jack it out unless they got their sailors to patronise it. Mr. Lindsay then urged the necessity of the shipowners pressing the claims of the Home upon the men, and read some conditions drawn up by himself with a view to the benefit of the sailors, telling them that if they showed an interest in Jack Jack would show an interest in them. It bad once been said by a distinguished sol dier, " Woe betide the country which forgets its sol. diers ;" and he might say "Woe betide England the day that she forgets her sailors." (Loud cheers.) What were we compared to the continent of Europe ? We could not maintain large armies, it was useless to think of it ; our power was in the navy, "Britannia needs no bulwarks, No tower along the steep. Her path is on the mountain wave, Her home is on the deep ;" and the day they neglected their maritime interest Eng land would begin to move in a retrogressive character. (Star.) It .was by means of our sailors that we were ! to maintain - our maritime supreancy ; it wait by their_ 'beans that the flag which bad "braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze " should continue to be the bar binger of peace and civilisation throughout the world. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mr. INGaam, M.P., having been loudly called on, also made a few remarks in acknowledgment of the toast. Alluding to the purely social and domestic habits of the sailor, as evinced by his staying till destitute at the first house he came to, he expressed a sanguine hope that the honest tar would resort to the Sailors' Home as affording him the least hurtful means of indulging his social die position. Mr. HEADLAIS, M.P., then rose and expressed a hope that all rivalry between the•neighbouring,towns would speedily be brought to an end. He had recently returned from the continent, and had witnessed the feelings of admiration, approaching to reverence and worship, with which the Germans looked upon their rivers. They all knew how the classic nations of old taught the worship of river gods, and though he did not wish to inculcate Paganism, yet he had some feelings of enthusiasm to wards' Old Father Tyne, and they would unite one and all, frotri the sea high up to the mountains from which it sprung,- in an earnest and fervent wish for the prosperity of all those who lived upon its banks. (Applause.) The Hon. H. G. LIDDELL also responded to the toast, and after "the vice-presidents," " the guests," and "the ladies" had been duly honoured, the meeting separated. During the afternoon about 100 seamen, many of them old men-of-war's men, were entertained in an ante room of the Sailors' Home at the expense of his Grace the noble founder of the institution. For the evening a grand display of fireworks was announced, but the pro gramme was not carried out. Naval and Military Intelligence. An order having arrived at Chatham for the discharge of a large number of non-commissioned officers and men from the establishment, the troops were paraded yester day morning, when the names of 105 non-commissioned Officers and meo, for whose discharge an order bad been received, were read over by Lieutenant and Adjutant J.

The men selected for discharge belonged chiefly to the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, 7th HussarP, 10th Hussars, 4th (King's 0 Nn), 14th, 20th, 23d (Welsh Fusiliers), 31st, 33d (Duke of Wellington's), 38th, 41st Welsh, 42d Highlanders, 44th, 49th, 50th (Queen's Own), 55th, 56th, 68th Light Infantry, 72d Highlanders, 77th, 79th Highlanders, 90th Light In fantry, and 95th Regiments, with some troops belonging to the Ripe Brigade. Nearly the whole of these dis charged have seen a great deal of service. Each man has been awarded a pension by the commissioners at Chatham Ho4pital, and a considerable number wore the Crimean medal, with three ana four oi.arA. The troops belonging to the Royal Eogineers at their head-quarters, Brompton Barracks, Chatham, are making extensive preparations foragrand night attack which will shortly take Oltee at Chatham, in which the whole of the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal En gineers available for duty will take part. A number of the troops are busily engaged in preparing the explosive materials and bluelights to be used on the occasion, but the precise evening on which the attack will take place has not yet been announced. The operations to be per formed will be under the general superintendence of Col. H. Sandham. Capt. F. Somerset, of the Royal Engineers, has been directed to proceed with a number of the junior officers of the Royal Engineers at Chatham on a tour of inspec tion of the principal engineering establishments in this country, for the purpose of acquiring information con nected with the improvements recently made in this de partment of practical science, in order that the same may be introduced into the course of instruction taught to the corps of Royal Engineers. Her Majesty's steam-ship Hannibal, 91, Captain J. C. D. Hay, C 8., is hourly expected at Spithead from the Mediterranean. She will be surveyed immediately on arrival, and, if not likely to occupy too much time in refitting, wi.l return forthwith to the Mediterranean. Captain Prendergast, of the United States' frigate Merrimac, paid a visit yesterday morning to Vice-Admi ral Sir corge F. Seymour, K.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, and went on board his flag-ship, the Victory, in the afternoon, on leaving which he was honoured with a salute of 11 guns. A number of persons went, from Portsmouth yesterday to see the Merrimac. Tne Catharine Harrison barque, Commissariat trans port No. 224, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the East, with stores. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Shannon, 51, Captain W.

Several ships are expected at Portsmouth from the Thames to embark the volunteers of the Foreign Legions for the Cape of Good Hope. The Ct.ear, 90, Capt. J. Robb, from Portsmouth, arrived off Plymouth Sound, under canvas only, at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and having signalled the screw steamships Exmouth, Capt. 11. Eyres, and Colossus, SO, Capt. Codrington, which were at anchor inside the breakwater, they left under royals and joined the Cmsar. The three lay to for some hours outside, and sailed in the evening for Lisbon and the Mediterranean. The Hood, 80, which was cut in half, and half launched on Tuesday at Chatham dockyard, is to be lengthened 40 feet, and fitted as a screw steamer. She is to be completed forthwith. The Goliath, 80, which has been taken into dock at Chatham, is ordered to be completed for sea, and fitted as a screw steamer. Tne Meanee, 80, is also to be fitted with a screw. Rear-Admiral Bowles paid an official visit (on behal of the board of directors of the Seamen's Hospital Insti tution) to Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, for the pur pose of inspecting the progress of the repairs on board the Caledonia which is in course of preparation for re placing the Dreadnought, at Deptford. The freightship Alacrity, in the East London Docks, is ordered to be ready to receive ammunition and ord nance stores from Woolwich Arsenal, for Cape Town. , . The freightship Wigrams is embarking ammunition in St. Katharine's Docks from the War Department, Wool wich, and will sail in a few days for St. Helena.

Bunbury, commanding the depot of the Medical Staff Corps, has received an order to furnish a large party of assistant stewards and wardniasters to take charge of and assist in conveying them in safety to their respective homes in various parts of the kingdom. ACCIDENT AT THE ART-TREASURES PA LA CE , MAN CHESTER. —By the fall of some scaffolding used in the erection of this new building five or six men were more or less injured, yesterday evening, but non e o f them fatally. Italy who dare entertain the thought of liberating their native land, so cruelly oppressed. it•ie impossible for you to imagine what. I suffered with thousands more in the different prisons from the insects, the scorpions, hunger and thirst, the suffoca'ing heat, and the fevers produced by the exhalations from the stagnant waters which surround Mantua on every side. Notwithstanding my strong constitution, notwithstanding the firmness of mind that nature had given me, sometimes my reason vacillated, and I thought I should have gone mad. It is not seven months since I was a prisoner prostrated by fever and hunter. I heard some of my compel ions, who were confined in a dungeon next to mine, conveyed to the scaffold. What. I then suffered more than 100 of our Italian youths are still seffering in that same castle, and many thousand others throughout the prisons of Italy. That any man issues from such places and such sufferings is amazing ; and if he has been able to suffer many years he is no longer a man as before. As to me, who had the misfortune to be several times imprisoned, Providence has singularly favoured me, in not permitting the utter ruin of my health, or my strength of mind to abandon me. (Applause.) had accustomed myself to suffer. Nothing of that kind is new to me, nor alarms me, ap p b y u f t e l w i o h w a havegone e still through, going and through,at un happy forget,-and lam ever ready to face new trials , so that I can injure the,: oppressors of my native country. countrymen (Immease okseritig.) Although lam nothing—a simple individual—yet while:Doi grants me my intellect and physical powers, civir, Vete, always, will I work in the grin hope of seeing at trait every bloody foot-track of Austria cancelled from the soil of Italy. While I have an Italian heart, while the foreigners are overrunning ray native country, while an Austrian troop is landed on the western shore of the Adriatic, I will never lay down my revolutionary attempts or my at ms—never, never, never ! (Loud and protracted cheering) And if, at my latest breath, I can say that with deeds and not words alone I have done something for the land which gave me birth, I shall die contented and happy. (Renewed applause.) What hours I have myself experienced ! At the time of my first examination before the Imperial Court of Justice at Mantua, I knew that I should be irrevocably sentenced to death. Often I thought of it, and looked towards the door by which I should have passed t 3 be hanged • and although I bad some time before ins, still, coolly contemplating the fate which awaited me horrified me, although my courage failed not. Although in the field and elsewhere I had seen death near and seemingly inevitable, yet that idea of being banged on a gallows often overawed me. (gear, hear.) These are some of the horrors committed by the Austrian and Italian governments—horrors which we cannot escape, because no powerful government will as sist us. I was, it was true, enabled to escape these mi series, but it it perhaps the only example which has ever been known under the Austrians, and I am certainly the only one who has ever escaped from the Castle of Man tua. (Tremendous cheering.) But what did it require I The forced dissimulation of an entire year—the greatest abrogation, carried even to the point of stifling every complaint of whatever they did. If I have succeeded I owe it to the a.sistance of friends, such friends as I never dreamt to find in human form, having had too often and too bitterly to lament the deceptions of false friendship. Now let me speak impartially. Suppose that English men were subjected to the same kind of tyranny as Italy, would they not revolt ? But with what effect if all Eu rope were leagued against them as they are against Italy ? Even England mint then obey the law of the strongest. God grant this may never be. (Applause.) Is it not an anomaly that in the civilised Europe of 1856 the most lovely region of the world should be oppressed by such a state of things; that the land of Caesar, of Cato, of Dante, of Michael Angelo, and of Raffaelle, should be cursed by the worst of tyrannies? that priests and cowled monks, whose very footmarks render the earth barren as if salt had been etrewn i d . sir it, shl& trample upon the soil of the arts! Is it nt an abs3leity that the man who calls himself by the Pagan name " Pontifex Maximus" should mix up in mundane matters, to the bane of humanity that h 6 ould issue edicts of proscription and of the galleyssOaftleath or life, to the ruin and misery of thousands of - families ? And all this in the name of God, of the people, and of public order ? Shall Europe permit such a monstrous thing to defile our land for ever 1 Liberty to be crushed, humanity to be forgotten, and Christianity to be scandalised and a most dangerous apathy put in its place ? But the times are approaching in which we shall see ;the fall of priestly tyranny ; in which the free nations by sacred instinct wili aid us, that we way five. The attitude Of the hherat Eog= lish people gives us hope that the wished-for time is near. I bear the name of Italy mentioned with sympathy from one end of your land to the other. It is a new and cheer ing fact for Italians. Seas separate us ; our customs and language are different, and our governments have always tried to make the English name hateful in the I and of Dante ; but the people understand arch other ; and the proud British i,larrier, who fearlessly rules the waves wherever his ship can float, begins to reflect on our country's misery, and his generous heart is moved towards the classic land which gave Columbus to the world. The children of that soil whose heroes iu ancient times were masters of the world, the lords of earth and sea, shall be allowed to work out their great destinies, and shall not for ever bo bound by the keys of the Va tican and by all the despotic powers of Europe. Signor Orsini resumed hit seat amidst great cheering. Mr. W. Cooit, of Gateshead, moved the following re solution, which, being seconded by the Rev. J. PRINGLE, was carried unanimously:—" That the thanks of this meeting be rendered to Signor Orsini for his able lee ture this evening, -and it deplores the evils which his country suffers from the outrageous tyranny to which it is subjected. Further, that this meeting recognises the right of the Ita-ian peop!o to a national existence, and believes it to be the duty of all nations to aid them in their struggle to ohtaiu is." ..„ Mr. Cows ,sf then moved a vote of thanks to Sir J. File for the cordial and hearty manner in which he had taken the office of chairman ; and the motion having been se condtd by Mr. THOMAS, was carried by acclamation. Sir JOHN FIFE replied ; and the meeting separated. The Newcastle Chronicle, from which we derive the matkr:als of this short report, rays :—" Since his return to England, Orsini has applied, himself to th 3 study of the Eoglish language. His lecture on Monday night was read from the mantycript, and this, of course, made it; less impressive than au extempore oration would have been ; but the English was remarkably good, and Sig nor Orsini's pronunciation much more distinct and in telligible than might have been expected, considering how short a time he has had to become acquainted with our language. The lecture was well understood by all, and went straight to the hearts of those who heard him. Lhe personal appearance of Orsini c..;rresponds well with his mental qualities—a firm, vigorous, well-set frame; a frank, soldier like bearing ; a determined, yet pleasing countenance, proclaim the man of resolution and action. The audience received him on his first appearance with enthusiastic cheering, and the applause throughout the evening was as hearty as could be wished. BRI PIM BAGGAGE IN ST.

The great drawback t o th e s e undertakin ;s is the want of labour, not of that kind which caused sin a flow of emigration three and four years since—as clerks, drapers' assistants, and young men who haves never handled a spade or tool in their lives, but bones and' sinew are what is wanted—that class of labour, inde-d, which would derive and produce the greatest benefit by its emigration, and yet of that very' kind which is una We to assist itself to it. How can a farm labourer or it evvY) let his wages be taken at their highest, pay his pai sage to the Antipodes ? it is often that he clan barely find lood for his wife and children. The country is taxed by poor rates to find bread for those who cannot find it for , themselves. 'When I left the colony of Victoria in June the com monest labour was receiving his re's. per day of eight hours' work, this limit having been recently fixed a s a ' day's labour; other and more skilled labour in propor thin, and many works were suspended, o wing not s., south to the dearness of labour as its scarcity . It may be urged that the expenses of living, &c., are proportionate ; this, however, is not so. In Melbourne a labourer need never be idle. Meat is eiheaper than in England, potatoes the same, bread a trifle dearer, and a cottage, such as few labourers of the class I es p eciall y refer to h ave i n thi s coun t r y, can be obtained, at from t6los. per week. How, then, c an thi s su pply of labour be obtained is a question well worthy the attention Of kVA kin' ) and c° ' lonial Governments. Various suggestions pre.eeTit them- -- selves; and in the reduction of the arrny.wonld it not be a worthy reward to the soldiers of our country, ,e ew we require their services as such eio longer, to offer them a tree passage to these colonies, where their pre, tango would he welcomed, and to the industrious an he nest independence secured ? To those paeishes heavily taxed for poor-rates the subject is one I should think worth attention, by trying this as a means relieving their surplus labour, leaving those behind setter means of providing for themselves. The present system of emigration carried on by Go vernment is tedione incomplete, and, insttiad of facilita ting the object in view, throws so many in 'pediments in the way that I venture to say one half o,' those who apply for the forms in Park street, Westmineter, throve up their intentions from the restrictions they are con.' fined to, or inability to comply with the ,requisite regulations, and hence the colonies are deprived of what they are so urgent for, and our own country ,remains burdened with taxation. The progress of the mercantile community of' bourne has been se regulirly reported in your p aper as to scarcely require comment from me. After a crisis and panic in 1854 and 1855, unelsupled for its calamity and amount, the mercantile 'houses bay-fere covered themselves with an elasticity which. must have astonished the world : and, if merchants and shippers ; will but study t'se taste,, consumption, and absolutem require mente of the market, it will always be one of our best customers. I regret to observe that already there is a dispositie n to glut the market, which can only pro duce a similar effect to that experienced two years since . ; A glance at tie circular of Messrs. W. W. Stables and CO. shows brandy, British spirits, and wrought leather to have been shipped during the last three months to an excess of at least three times the consumption, and I. would warn shippers to note and study these facts , before they find it coins home to them by the results. The riches of Victoria are patent to all ; her wool, tallow, hides, and auriferous productions are as yet but faintly developed to what they will be ; the firstnanied have steadily increased year by year, and this year we are seeing the great increase in the production of gold brought about by the application of machinery and scien die princ:ples. The new constitution has yet to be tried, and would doubtless bring about contests of conflicting interests, the probable results of which will only be the further development of the wonderful resources of the country. Sydney, with its beautiful harbour, seems destined to rank second to Melbourne in commercial importance. Its export trade is very extensive with the sister colony, which it rather seems to follow than to lead, for, though far older in history than Melbourne, is being fast super seded by :hat c'llony, which seems to possess an energy, and will go ahead unknown in New South Wales. There is doubtless a large and valuable trade between this country and Sydney, though it is a singular fact that I one-third of the exports thence to Sydney find a market ultimately in Melbourne. Adelaide is considerably in arrear of either Melbourne ear Sydney...hut is pursuing_the even tenonr of her' way, and prowi ,, es to become the great agricultural produeer for the other cAonies.

PRIZE ESSAY OA TMs NATIONAL DEBT. The council of the Society of Arts have received the following letter:— "To the Chairman of the Council of the Society of Arts. " Sir,—The financial position of this country, and the enormous national debt, must always be subjects of great commercial importance, and of grave interest to English men, even during the times of peace and prosperity. Recent events of great importance, such as the influx of gold from Awstratia and California, the drain of silver to the EAst Indies and to China, the establishment of 1r • trade, and the vast extension of our commerce, have ma terially alrend the financial position, and will cause a revision ol the eulject to be very useful and interesting. The important • It that might be obtaiued by the re results uovved application to the reduction of the debt of the prinrepe., ' f compound accumulation, Vie essential prin ciple of the sinking fired, which has unfortunately been abandeued, appear also to rtirit a further examination, and I am convinced that the interest.s of arts, manufac tures, and cermeerce would he promoted if the society wo uld encourage the investigation of these subjects, and elicit the mature opinions of those who have studied fin ancial sciences.

"London, 39, Crutched-friar', Oct. 14, 1856." The council have resolved that the beet thanks of the soci€tv he conveyed to Mr. Johnson for his very liberal offer of a prize of 200 guinea-, and that the same be ac cepted on the conditions stated in Mr. Johnson's letter. The Parana, which is due from the West Indies at the end of this nionto, will, it is expected, bring home the eflieer i and crew, and all that was saved from the Tay, which wai wrecked in the gi.lph of Mexico. In orate to forest the progre,s of the fraudulent trent• aceions which have been so frequent of late on the part of the pay sergeants of regiments, a degrading example was, en Monday, made of a defaulter in the Royal Ar tillery corps at Woolwich, who was stripped of his but tons in front of the barracks in the presence of every man and officer of his battalion, and publicly drummed. out (4 her Majesty's service. On arriving at the gates which separate the garrison from the town, he was handed over to the charge of the civil authorities for the purpose of being subjected to a term of imprison mmit.
