A special general Court of this Company was held yester,lay at their house, in Leadenhall•street, to confirm or otherwise the resolution which was passed by the Court of Proprietors on the 14th inst. for granting a pension of 5,000/, a-year out of the revenues of the Company t) the Marquis of Dalhousie, as a mark of their deep sense of the great ability, integrity, z Id, and unfired energy displayed by that distinguished noble men in all departments of the Government during his tenure of office as Governor-General of India ; Colonel Sykes, Chairman of the Court of Directors, in the chair. The minutes 'of the !Ist Court haring been read, The CILIIIMAN informed the Court that it had been specillly Summoned for the purpose orsubmitting to the proprietors for their approbation a resolution agreed to by the Court on the 14th inst. for granting to the Mar quis of Dllhouile a pension of 5,0001. a : year on the grounds therein stated, nod he now. moved that the Court do smarm that resolutions Mr. D. R. MANGLES, Deputy-Chairman, seconded the Mr. TWINING was anxious to express bii hearty con currence in the resolution. Of all the resolutions of a similar character,—and he had known canny—he never knew of one which had stronger claims on the Company than the present, Considering the position of a Gover nor-General of India to be one of the most difficult and important that came within the reach of any appoint ment that could be made by the East ladia Company, it was a great satisfaction to see a person who had been ap• pointed to that great undertaking quit his post with the warm approbation of those who appointed him. No body who contemplated and examine & the acts of Lord Dalhousie could fail to find that he had left India in a most advanced state. A new era, as it were, had sprung up, and the present Governor-General would find his path smao•hed by the acts of his - - predeeessor, and be hoped that that noble Lord would carry out all thoso measures which Fad for their objectAhe-laappiness and r-sperity of the people of India. Mr, LEWIN d dieiu , think that the Lord Dal housie had added to the stability or the general content of our empire in India. He }Alloyed that the native princes of India were all ready to combine against thu British rule. It was well known in India that oar rule was opposed by every native prince. -The principle of the British Government being to grasp all India, and that principle being known to the inhabitants, it was most natural that they should be opposed to it. The right hon. baronet (Sir J. Hogg) had drawn a compari son between this Pension to Lord Dalhousie and the pensions received by the civil servants of India ; but there exikted the greatest possible distinction between the two descriptions of pension. The civil servant re ceived only a portion of his salary during his services, the remainder ,of which was laid by to form a fund out of which he should be paid an annuity during his life, in order that he might not become a charge upon the annual revenue of India. But this grant of 5.000/. a year to Lord Dalhousie was, in fact, a gratuity. No two things, therefore, could be more dissimilar. After some furtha observations, the hon. gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, the following resolution :-- " That it is premature to vote a sum of money out of the territorial revenues of India, while we are unassured that they will yield a surplus capable of providing for it. Equallyso, while we are without the assurance that the moral sense of the Marquis of Dalhousie will permit him to accept a gratuity in the shape of a sum of money drawn from the poo rest ryots in the world, the ryots of India." Mr. JONES seconded the amendment. Tue amendment was then put and negatived, and the original motion was carried almost unanimously. The Court then adjourned. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM. Yesterday the 28th anniversary festival of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum was held at Highbury Barn Ta vern. John Johnstone, Esq., of the firm of Messrs. Cal vert and Co., was in the c h a i r , su pport e d by M essrs . Vousley, Palmer, Hughes, Hodges, Raven, Edwards, Turner, M`Rao, Thompson, Rountree, Bryon, G. Wal ter, Findlay, Smalley, Smith, Bingley, Mitchell, &c,, and above 400 members of the trade. This was one of those remarkable gatherings of the licensed victuallers which the c Anse of the charities founded and supported by themselves annually calls together, on several occasions, number of the trade, who 'vie with each other in promot ing the excellent institutlous which their forethought and care provide for their less fortunate brethren. From the report which was read by Mr. Jones, the secretary, it appeared that the subscriptions during the last year amounted to 2,8521. ss. 6d. Acknowledments were made to the firms of trewers, not only in London, but at Burton-on-Trent, Isleworth, Romford, &c., most of whom had contributed 50 guineas each. It was stated also that most of the firms of distillers had contributed 25 guineas each. Most of the wine merchants had also contributed liberally. In addition to the annual sub• scriptione, a sum of 1501. had been cleared by the annual ball, and eleven guineas, after all expenses paid, by the annual dinner. Legacies had been left to the institution by Mr. Wailes'', bf Haggenstone. 441. ; Mr. James, of Plumstead, :901 ; Mr. Christopher Crawford, 351. 103. By means of this a~ all claims on the inFoitution up to Christmas last had been diseharred, leaving a surplus of 800/., which had been added to the 13.000/. odd deposited with brewer,' at .5 per cent., . - naking the deposited capi tal of the charity ever 13,900/. In the 25 years during which the institution had been established, 374 inmates had been received inWthe asylum, and there were now 150 persons within it; who had not only separate duvet. hags, but medical attendance, nurses in illness, a weekly allowance of coals, a weekly sum of 83. 6d. to married couples, and 7s. each to single persons. This was done at an annual cost of 1,447/. There were four vacancies in the asylum, which would be filled up at the close of the present year. An earnest appeal was made by the secretary, in announcing the subscriptions, for assistance in making up a sum of 11,000/., which was t till want ing to make the capital of the charity.sufficient for all its purposes, independently of all casual and fortuitous circumstances. The CICIAIRHAN, who presided in consequence of the unavoidable absence of Edmund Calvert, Esq., arising from a domestic afflitition, very ably advocated the in terests of the society. A number of toasts especially connected with the ob jects of the evening were given and duly honoured. 'The list of subscriptions announced was exceedingly lengthy. Amongst the most noticeable donations of the day were those which had been obtained by the instru mentality of the firm of brewers of which the chairman is a member. Among theta was Edmund Calvert, Esq., 50 guineas ; John Johnstone, Esq., the chairman, 50 guineas ; Nicholas Calvert, Esq., 50 guineas ; Alfred Phillips, Esq., 50 guineas ; Messrs. Calvert and Co., annually, 20 guineas ; making a total obtained through the means of Messrs. Calvert, of 4571. Most liberal donations were announced from all the principal brewers, distillers, corn merchants, and a vast number of mem bers of the trade. The total amount obtained on the occasion of this fes tival, which was every way satisfactory, was about 1,006/. LAUNCH OP A NEW STEAMSHIP FOR THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL COMPANY. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDI,TESDAY. This day a fine screw steam-ship, named the Delta, was launched from the yard of Messrs. Summers and Day, en gineers and iron ship builders, Northam. It is a beautiful iron steam ship, intended for the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and will form an addition to their fine fleet in the Eastern seas. The dimensions are as follow:—Length over all, 253 ft.; between perpendiculars, 227 ft. 6 in. ; breadth, 29 ft. 8 in.; depth in hold,lB ft. 5 in.; tonnage (builders' measure ment), 92,3 30-94ths. She is three masted, with fore and aft rig, no square sails being fitted. She has an elliptical stern, quarter badges, and shield figure-head; also aecom modatiun for 112 first-class, and 22second-class passengers, with a stowage for f'oo tons of cargo. The engines, by Messrs. Summers and Day, are on the direct action Niu ciple, and are of 210 horse-power (nominal), with three bladed ..crew of 14 feet diameter by 26 feet pitch. From her beautitul lines she is expected to be a fast vessel. We never remember to have seen a finer launch. It took place in the presence of a number of scientific gentle men, including Capt. Engledue, superintendent of the Peninsul r Company, Mr. Lamb, the co'mpany's superin dent engineer, &c. and a goodly number of ladies and gentlemen from the neighbourhood. The ceremony o f chri s tening was gracefully performed by Miss Day, and the dog-shores being knocked down the vessel glided off the slips into the River Itchen, and was brought up by her anchor in the usual manner. Tho company present had a carte blanche to every de scription of refreshment, which was provided by Messrs. Summers and Day, in addition to which a sumptuous dejeuner was prepared by Mr. Fiske, of Southampton, at the expense of the builders, of which Capt. Engledue and many of the officers of the company's service par ticipated. At this repast Capt. Engledue remarked that he had watched the progress of the vessel froar the laying of the keel to the time when it was launched on the water, and ho felt justified in saying that everything connected with it was of a description that was highly creditable to its builders. The company were also conducted through the immense establishment, where upwards of 700 men are constantly employed, andevery object of interest was examined and explained. The whole of the men on the premises were regaled in a liberal style, and the ceremony passed off in the most gra tifying manner. This is the largest vessel that has been built by Messrs. Summers and Day, and we feel justified in saying that it has given the greatest satisfaction.

METROPOLITAN BOARD T;rOEKS. Yesterday an a , ljourned meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held in the Ckmocil 'Chamber, Guildhall ; John Thwaites, Esq., in the chair. The members met for the following purppses—first, "To receive a memorial from the vestry of the parish of IZotherbithe, Surrey, objecting to certain portions of the engineer's plan for the sewage interception, &e., south of the Thames, and also rayin g that the same might be modified ; secondly, "To read a letter from Mr. J. J. More wood, relative to the great--London drainage rcherne ;" and thirdly, "To consider further the report of the engineer of the board on the sewage interception and main drainage of the districts, south of the Thames." After a brief discussion, the memorial of the vestry of Rotherhithe was unaninrmsly received and adopted. The CHAIRMAN said that he had received the follow ing letter from Mr. J. J. Morewood I observe that there are notices given for biing iug before the Metropolitan Board of Works the adoption of plans for the drainage of the south side of the Thames, and that the new plan proposed by Mr. Bazalgette is by him estimated to cost 831,6961. The consulting engineers to the late Metropolitan Commission of Sewers have, how ever, estimated a less-extended 'ahem() of Mr. B izalg,ette's at 1,250 0001., whilst the plan tested by all the first engi neers of the day can bs executed at a cost of 319,8771. I venture to trouble you a ith a word upon the subject. When the late Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers held their first meeting, a letter was read from Mr. Apeley Pellatt, M.P., iu which he anted " that he had taken con siderable interest" in plans of sewerage, and especially in that designed by Mr. Morewood, and from questions asked by him and answered by Lord Palmerston, he was given to understand "that, the large sum of money granted last ses sion would be applicable to that scheme ;" and he suggested that the " Commission should take into its serious conside ration Mr.' Morewood's plans and estimates, especially the latter showed a very considerable economy as compared with the one before the late Commission." This plan was accordingly suemitted to the late com mission of sewers, with the retwirk that a select committee of the House of Commons hart fully approved the scheme of drainage, although they could not sanction the financial •svrangumeot.- In cotupli ma with the request made by trecommissioaers 2 J plans and sections wore forwarded te them in 1854. Subsequently, at a meeting of the chairmen, vice-chair men, and members of the various public boards of the six parishes of Southwark, it was resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is most essential &r the borough of Southwark that a plan of sewers upon the system as set forth by the great London scheme, as ap plied to that borough, be carried out without delay. This is one of the plans which your engineer reports to be now before your board. - lam now desirous of establishing the correctness of the favourable opinion thus expressed respectively by the se lect committee of the House of Commons, by the honour able member for Southwark, and by the various local boards referred to, and have to beg the favour of your submitting to the board the propriety of their examining my plans and hearing my explanations, before a final deter mination be adopted for at once proceeding with the works necessary for the complete interception of the- sewage of the metropolis.—Yours truly, J. J. MOREWOOD. - To John Thwaites, Esq., Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works. He (the chairman) thought he was bound to bring be fore the board whatever was sent-to him, no matter what it might be. The letter was then received. Mr. LESLIE then said he did not wish to second the amendment of Mr. Howe, moved at the last court. All he wanted was to bring forward the plan of their chief engineer, Mr. Bdzalgette, and to adopt it. The UIIAIRMAN wished to call the attention of the board to a letter from Lord Panmure, as follows : War Department, Pall-mall, May 19, 1856. reference to the report of the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, dated 3d nit., "Oa the sewage interception and main drainage of the districts south of the Thames," according to which an extensive reservoir is to be made within a short distance of the Royal Arsenal. And that the proposed outlet is not one mile from the north-east end of the Royal Arsenal, and as the deposit will be floated up the river to the Arsenal at neap tides, it is apprehended that the health of the persons em ployed in the several departments will be seriously affected, and that the efficiency of those departments will be de stroyed if the scheme be carried out. I atu desired to re quest, therefore, that you will submit this subject to the serious consideration of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and favour Lord Panmure with their views as to the ex pediency, under the circumstances stated, of adopting this measure. Signed by the Secretary of Lord Pa nmure. To the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works. A discussion arose as to whether the board were to be led by that statement, when Deputy HARRISON eaid that no one could be affected at alt by the scheme . sf Mr. Bazalgette, because it had not been tried. After a few other remarks relating to the above let'er, The CHAIRMAN said he thought that the only point which they had then to consider was the discharge of the sewage, which he thought might easily be arranged. Mr. SAVAGE was of opinion that the board had better adjourn the consideration of this letter to a future day. The CHAIRMAN hoped they would not adjourn, for if they were to do so it would be wasting most valuable time. He must say that four meetings in one week to consider that subject was rather overthe mark. Mr. WARE ruse and seconded the amendment of Mr. Hows. _ _ Mr. NICHOLAY said he hoped if the amendment of ' Mr. Howe wki. lost, they would not go on discussing the sewage interception and main drainage south of the Thames, without they had some other plan besides Mr. Biizalgette's to judge by. Mr. ORELLIN said he felt himself in a somewhat awk ward position. Although he bad complained that be bed only seen one plan presented to the board for their choice, which was in fact no choice at ad—(laughter, and " Hem., he. r")—they had no alternative but to adopt this plan of Mr. Bazalgette, because they had no other plan to substitute for it. There was no seconder, and the amendment was lost. Mr. TURNER considered that Mr. Bazalgette's plan was worthy of the approval of the board, and he thought if it was carried out it would redound to the credit of the board. He therefore should support the motion of Mr. Carpmael. Mr. LESLIE then gave notice "that he would bring forward, at the earliest possible period, his plan for the adoption or otherwise by the Metropolitan Board of Works, for the constant discharge of the sewage without ,the necessity of reservoirs and at points of discharge much below the metropolis." Mr. DIFFANGER said he wished to state that, if that was received, ho would he....compelletLhiinself to vote against both plans, which course he did not wish to take. Mr. LESLIE said that the highest credit was due to Mr. Bazalgette tor what he had done in bringing that plan before the board. He.(Yfr. Leslie) had paid great attention to the whole subject, and he thought they were depending teo much upon the experiments of the float. He was present when the arrangements were made for tho drawing of the survey, which was then on the table. Captain Barnett wrote to him, a little while ago, com plaining of the enormous amount of sewage pouring out of the discharge at Deptford. He thought that there was not the slightest reason wby they should not dis charge the whole sewage.at all hours of the tide, pro vided it was lower_down than Plumstead. Th e metro politan pumping stations, be thought, were things that would be objectionable. In his opinion, the two most important and pirCching points in the matter were, how lowdown they were to take the sewer?, and how large were those sewers to be. Mr. Leslie went on to state his opinion on many other points of the scheme of Mr. Bazalgette: The meeting adjourned until Monday next, for the fur ther consideration of the subjeo% [ADVERTISENENT : ] THE GE.NERAL D.LUATINATION.

The following is the protocol.of the Danish pro position for the redemption of the Sound Dues, to which the Governments of Russia, of Sweden, and of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg have given their adhesion : "Tue Government of his Majesty the Emperor of All the Ruseias and of his Majesty the King of Sweden and Nor way having adhered to the propositions made by the Government of his Majesty the King of Denmark relative to the redemption by purchase of the Sound and Belt Dues, the delegates of their said Majesties, as also the delegate of Den=ark, in the negotiation of the dues have agreed to make a declaration by the present protocol of the different points arrived at by that negotiation. 4 ° Although the Government of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Oldenburg has also adhered to the said propositions, the delegate of his Royal Highness in the negotiation on the dues eould not take part in this at:', being absent from Copenhagen. "The delegate of his Danish Majesty, in recapitulat ing the propositions which he made in the Conferences of 4th of January and the 2d of February of the present year, states them as follows : "Denmark renounces the Sound and Belt Dues in consideration for a compensation of 35,000,000 of rix dollars (risinynt) on the following conditions : " `a. The purchase shall include all the Powers inte rested in the chmmerce and navigation of the Sound and of the Belts. That the abolition of the dues may become obligatory the purchase must be agreed to by all the Powers represented in the present negotiation, Den mark reserving to itself to treat separately with Powers not represented. "`b, The said sum of 35,000,000 rix-dollars shall be considered as compensation for dues on shipping as well as on cargoes. The dues on shipping to be regulated according to flag;, the dues on cargoes to be divided by one-half 'on inrported and the other halt on exported merchandise by the Sound or. the Belts.' • - " The payment of the quota which, according to table N. 8., presented in the Conference of the 2d of• Feb., wiil all tialie list' of ei - ch Pavirr repr,esenteit stared to - Denmark in such manner as will seem to it satisfact ory._ "In the Conference held on the 4th of Jan. last were present the delegates of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Prussia, Russia, and of Sweden and Norway. "At the Conference of the 2d of Feb., in addition to the above-named delegates, the delegate of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Oldenburg was present. "The delegate of his Danish Majesty repeats the de claration already made by him in the Conference of the 2d of Feb., that, according to the precise orders of his GovernmCnt, the sum indicated above is the minimum, of the indemnity which Denmark thinks she has a right to ask for the abolition of the dues. " Conformably to the principles proposed for the divi sion of the eventual indemnity the quota for which the different Powers represented in the present negotiation shall contribute to the said sum of 35,000,000 rix dol lars are : . Rix- dollars. For Denmark , 1,122,078 3'21 per cent. of 35,000,000 For Austria For Belgium For Spain For France 1,219,003 3'43 For Great Britain 10,126,855 28'93 For Norway For Oldenburg For Netherlands 1,408,060 4 . 02 For Prussia 4,440,027 12.69 For Russia 9,739,993 27.83 For *weden 111 3, SI fl Total 31,692,776 "The remaining sum of 3,307,224 rix dollars falls to the charge of the Powers not represented in the pre- sent negotiation, inasmuch as it was able to specify those Powers in table N.B. "The delegate of Denmark declares, as expressly un derstood, that the Governments adhering to the pror.o• sitions which he has made shall only be eventually re sponsible for the gootum falling to the charge of each of them as in the division indicated above. "The delegate of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias renews the adhesion of the Imperial Cabinet already expressed by him in the Conference of the 2d of February, as well as regards the princ►ple of redemp tion as the mode of division proposed by the Danish Go vernment. "Tod delegate of the Emperor at the same time de clares that the Imperial Cabinet consents to contribute to the redemption of the Sound Dues for the quotum falling to the charge of Rlssia according to the ab.ive indicated division, provided always that all the Powers represented in the present negotiation consent also on their part to the same conditions for the redemption of the Sound Dues.' " The delegate of Denmark accepts this reserve, de claring it to be conformable to the views of his own Government. " The delegate of his INiajesty the King of Sweden and Norway declares that his Government accepts the pro positions of the Danish Government, as well as regards the principle of redemption as the amount, of indemnity claimer' by Denmark. "The delegates of Russia and of Sweden and Norway point out to observation that the mode of payment of the different quota must be the subject of a special negotia tion between Denmark on the one band and each of the contracting Powers on the other, reserving it therefore for a private agreement to fix the method and term of payment of the quota falling respectively to the charge of Russia and of Sweden and Norway. "The delegate of Denmark adheres to this observation. " Finally, the same delegate having pointed out that the present negotiation is temporarily stopped in conse quence of a difference of opinion which has arisen be tween the Danish Government and that of her Britannic Majesty, that, consequently the labours of the Conference on the dues might remain a long time in suspense, the length of which it is impossible to ax, the delegate of Russia declares, That the adhesion of the Imperial Go vernment to the Danish propositions, as defined above, shall remain in full force until such time as the Copen hacfen Cabinet itself shall declare the negotiation broken off, ' and withdraw the propositions it has made.' "The delegate of Denmark having expressed the satis faction with which he takes note of this declaration, and the delegate of Sweden and Norway having declared that he was convinced ho would be authorised to make a similar declaration as soon as he should have received the instructions which, the case not having been fore seen, could not have been given to him before, the pre sent delegates agree to leave the protocol open for the eventual adhesion of the other Governments treating with Denmark for a final settlement of the Sound and B)It question.

The juiblee feztival of this society wry; held last night at the London Tavern ; Etri GRANVILLE in the chair. Mute were about a hundred and fifty other gentlemen present. After the usual toasts, The. CHAIRMAN proposed the " Allied Armies and Navies ;" and as there was no one present who was directly connected seith either service, he begged to t h the toast the came of a gentleman who had at least many thousand men under his command, and who knsw something about earthworks—he meant Sir Charles Fox. (Cheers.) Sir C. Fox expressed the emlsarrasament be felt at finding himself Waxed in so very unexpected a situa tion. He had heard many foreigners of different nations express their opinion of British soldiers and sailors, and they all said that there were no such troops and sailors in the world. Not long ago ho heard the secretary to the French Minister of War say that the manner in which the English army had repulsed the attack at In k ermann was the most wonderful thin , in the annals of war. (Cheers.) He (Sir C. Fox) had many oppor tunities of speaking with the Emperor of the French, and he could assure the meeting that his Majesty regarded the alliance with this country as of the utmost import ance. He had often heard it asked whether the Ewperor was sincere in his desire to continue the con nexion between the two nations .7 He (Sir Charles Fox) had put the question to him, and his Majesty told him that the alliance was not only the right thing, but that it was to the interest of both countries that the friendly relations which had happily spruns up between them should be maintained. (Cheers.) There had never been a ruler of France who possessed such political infor mation as the present Emperor, for he had an oppor tunity of studying the constitutions not only of France, but of England and America, and he must bo con vinced that the English Alliance would be advantageous not only to both countries, but to his own interests. (Loud Cheers.) Earl GRANVILLE then proposed the toast of the oven ing, "Success to the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress." (Cheers.) The noble earl expressed his full concurrence in the principle upon which the society had been founded. If ;t had been the law for so many hun dred years that no Englishman s hould be allowed to die of starvation, it was surely right that some means chou4l be taken to extend that principle to foreigners, who could not demand the aid of a parish. The society, since its foundation, had been gradually but constantly increasing its sources of income. It had been said, and with justice, that this country owed much in the way of improvement to its science, its commerce, and its manu factures to the influx of foreigners ; and it was, there fore, most proper that the work of the society, which was to extend aid to neceesitous foreigners, without dis tinction of country or creed, should be supported as became the riches and the resources of the nation. (flear, hear.) There had been some question as to whether a charity dinner was the right way to collect money for a benevolent purpose. He (Lord Granville) had sometimes been inclined to take the opposite view ; but still he must confess that "the proof the pudding was in the eating." (Laughter and cheers.) He found that the average sum collected at the dinner during the last 15 years had been fifty times greater than that which had been obtained after many of the excellent serm ms which had been preached for the society. (Cheers and laughter.) It was a fortunate and graceful coincidence that this jubilee festival should have taken place at a period when the war had been concluded by a peace which he believed was honourable to our selves, which he hoped would be lasting, and which, he rejoiced to say, because the fact would certainly tend to increase its durability, was humiliating to none of the belligerents concerned. (Cheers.) The progress of society was gradual, for civilisation never made any great step at once. Advance, however, was at least certain, if each step forward was a little greater than the backward movement. (Cheers.) Ho thought the history of the war—the milder code by which it bad been governed, the traits of humanity which had been shown on both sides—bad showed that a consider able progress had been made towards mitigating, and certainly towards shortening, the horrors of war. He thought, too, that whatever might have been said to the contrary, there was really a very general feeling of thankfulness that it had pleased Divine Providence to restore to the world the blessings of peace. (Cheers.) He was gratified to observe that notwithstanding the continuance of the war for two years, there were stilt no fewer than a hundred subjects of the Emperor of Russia ' receiving assistance from the society—a number exceed ing the average of former years. (Cheers.) Some months ago he had had a conversation with a distinguished fo reigner, who had since published a very interesting and instructive work on England. That gentleman told him that he had long known England, and that he greatly admired both the country and the wonderful things it had been able to achieve. That, however, which had most perplexed him was to find out what was the par ticular quality which enabled Englishmen to get through their work. But last year he had heard two eminent members of parliament make each a speech, and he had also heard an eminent popular preacher deliver a sermon. A new light then struck him, and he at once exclaimed " I have it! It is the patience of Englishmen which en ables thorn to get through their work." (Loud laugh ter.) Now he (Lord Granville) was not anxious to make the company afforl another illustration of that great English virtue, patience, and he should therefore at once conclude by proposing the toast be had already Ova 1. (Loud cheers.) The treasurer (itlr, J. LABoucantE), having proposed the health of the noble chairman, who made an appro priate speech in reply, the proceedings soon afterwards terminated. Subscriptions amounting to the very liberal sum of 3,0001. and upwards were announced, being a sum more than double what had been received on any previouß occasion. The musical entertainments were of an unusually high character, for, in addition to the professional vocalistB, Mule. Emilie Kroll, Herr Pishek, Herr Adolphe Goll mick, Herr Adolphe Schosser, Herr Carl Doiehrnann, Herr Maurice Nabich, and Mr. Augustus Braham, kindly contributed their gratuitous services. EXTRAORDINARY MAN/A. During the last 6 or 7 weTies(says the Royal Cornwal, Gazette) much excitement has prevailed iu the neigh. bourhood of Tregeare, the seat of Mr. John King Letle bridge, in consequence of the great and mysterious slaughter of sheep and lamas belonging to him and the occupiers of the farms immediately adjoining. On the first alarm that several sheep and lambs had been killed, mangled, and torn in the most shocking manner, the whole of Mr. Lethbridge's farm servants and also the farmers in the vicinity, commenced a systematic watch over their flecks. Yet, notwithstanding, the slaughter continued, sheep and lambs were killed on several occa sions in the very field surrounded by perhaps a deter mined party of at least 15 or 20 on the look out. All kinds of conjecteres as to the destroyer were made ; sonic were of opinion that wild dogs infested their neigh bautlood, others that a wolf was secreted somewhere near the scene of the disasters ; then the idea of witch craft was stoutly maintained by a party. At length Mr. Lethbridge's shepherd had found a clue ; he had found a hole lined with doff's hair in a hedge, and a similar nest in an adjoining plantation. This discovery filled the whole party in the district with hope and encourage ment--the men turned out in great force, the locality in 1 fact was literally surrounded by anxious watchers, but iu spite of all this, the slaughter continued, and although the sheep and lambs were for the most part killed within a few feet of some 5 or 6 men purposely watching, no one could give the slightest clue to unravel the mystery. Six weeks thus passed away, In the meantime Mr. G. Adams, of Lidcott Farm, in the very heart of the dis trict, on Friday week called to his councils Mr. Leth bridge's principal farm servants (except the shepherd) and a neighbouring farmer. Mr. Adams asked whether it had not eceerred to them as str Inge that Sieton Kniver, the shepherd of Mr. Lethbridge's fleck, should always be the first man to find the carcases of the cattle destroyed. They fully discussed the point, and they found that in almost every instance (and by this time between 30 and 40 sheep had been destroyed) Simon Kniver was the man who had found the slaughtered cattle ; that Simon Kniver was the only man, of all the men on the look out, who had seen dogs in the fields. He also was the only man who had fired at dogs, and this not when in the company of any other person. Simon, too, had dis covered the " dogs' nests" in the hedge and plantation. This brought to the mind of one of the party that Simon had his hair cut about the time the hairy nests were discovered ; and that the hair found therein was very like his own. The result of this conference was, that instead of watching any longer for dogs, a determination was come to to watch the shepherd ; and with this view Mr. Lethbridge's hind arranged to station Simon Kniver to watch in a field, adjoining Mr. Adams's ground, where an eye could be kept on him. The rest of this singular story is coon told. Mr. George Adams was right; but one ewe and lamb swelled the list of those already de• stroyed before Simon Kniver was detected and in custody. He was taken to Launceston, to the magistrates, on Saturday, and was remanded till Tuesday. On Sunday the prisoner made a most desperate attempt to escape ; but after a short run was captured. He was brought up before the magistrates on Tuesday, an d after a lengthened examination of witnesses, including m os t o f the persons who bad been victimised, was fully com mitted to take his trial at the next Cornwall assizes, on two distinct charges, for maliciously killing and maiming cattle. Since being in custody the prisoner has stated that he did not kill more than one-half of the sheep de stroyed, and that be ought not to suffer for the whole. It came out in evidence that, while watching with others, the prisoner would pretend that he heard dogs or some singular noise in some particular place near, which he would name ; he would then rush to the spot, and after being absent a short time, would return and report the death of either a sheep or a lamb, or perhaps several of each. In this interval be had slain his victims. This clears up the mystery. Being the shepherd of the flock, and one of the party on the watch, he well knew their respective stations, and also the exact position of the sheep, and could then easily arrange and carry out his diabolical purpose. Ho is about twenty-one years old, . and has been in the employ of Mr, Lethbridge from a boys Last evening a meeting, convened by the churchwar dens in compliance with a requisition, was held in Hall's Riding-school, Albany-street, for the purpose of eliciting an expression of public opinion on the recent stoppage of the Sunday bands. Mr. J. A. Nichelay presided. The Chairman having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. P. GRAHAM proposed a resolution expressing the regret of the meeting at the concession made by the Prime Minister to the views of a party, and in opposition to his own convictions. Mr. OVERTON seconded the resolution, which was furs ther supported by Lord Raynham and Mr. D'lffanger. Sir B. HALL, Rho was loudly cheered, said that as the representative of Maryle bone he felt it due to his consti tuents to come bet• r 3 them and state, expressly and fully, the circumstances under which he had ordered the bands t play on the Sunday afternoon. His first act after ac cep tine office was to see how far he could benefit those who had placed such entire confidence in him. (Hear ) Having so long represented the great borough of Mary lebone, he felt that he could judge of the wants of the oeop e. In orderins the bands to play on Sundays he feit that Le was giving a boon to the working men, and doing g sod to many, while at the same time ne did not offend his Maker. lithe Sunday bands were so bad, and gave so much offence, why was he not found fault with in the House of Commons ? (Hear.) No sooner had he granted a band to Victoria and Regent's-park than he was accused of pursuing an aggressive policy, and it was further said that had he confined the band to Ken singtsn-gardens he would not have been interfered with. His (Sir B. Hall's) reply was, that if the bands were stepped in the Regent's and. Victoria-parks there should be no music in Kensington-gardens. (Cheers.) He would not say one word, although he knew a great deal, about how the various petitions were got up. (Hear, hear.) The prayers of some of the memorials called for the closing the Post-office, the park gates, and that the trains and steam boats should cease to run. Not content with this at home, they actually wished thae the same policy should be inculcated in all foreign cote tries, to which we sent accredited ministers. Mr. Bdir:e3—(hisses)—was a man of great influence, but be tore he attempted to interfere with the bands in the Lon don parks he ,hould look at home. Why did he not use the mighty engine he had at his disposal, the Leeds Mercury, in putting a stop to the numerous trains which pass through Leeds ? (Hear.) It had been said that the working men could have bands on the Saturday after noon, but he (Sir B. Hall) felt that, were such a proposal carried it, it would, in many cases, attract the man, with his wages in his pocket ; and it might so happen that the husband would not reach home in time for the wife to go to market : be -ce, she and her family would suffer much inconvenience. However, up to the present time she Sseuelay heif-holiday was not general, and even if it were it was not the question at issue. Had the people misconducted themselves, then indeed some complaint might have been made. Me (Sir B. Hall) bad visited the parks on the 11th inst., and he never felt more satisfied evi It any act of his life than he did on that day. (Hear, hear.) In order to ascertain beyond all doubt if there had been any disorder which might have escaped him, he had addressed a letter to Mr. Broughton, the police magistrate, and ho was happy to say that the magistrate had replied that he had not one charge of disorderly conduct on the day following the assembling of the 258,000 persons in the park. If the strings of Puritan• ism were pulled too tight, God alone knew what would be the result. (Cheers.) Ono word of advice he would give to the people of the metropolis :—lt was to be pa tient, and continue the same orderly conduct which had hitherto marked their proceedings. (Hear, hear.) It was to be regretted that their opponents were so un charitable as to designate those who differed from them as heathens, but it was a fortunate thing that all good ness and Christianity in this country were not contained in Exeter-hall. (Cheers.) But if the Exeter-hall agitators would throw open the portals of that vast building, he (Sir B. Hall) would be ready to meet any number of his opponents, and explain and defend the course he had taken—a course which, after the expression of public opinion in St. Pancras, and that of the vast assemblage before him, he had certainly no cause to regret. (Cheers.) The right hon. baronet re sumed his seat amidst deafening cheers. Mr. FARNHAH intimated his desire to move an amendment, and after many feeble attempts to obtain a hearing, retired amidst hisses and cries of "No Exete r Hall." _ _ _ The resolution was pnt and carried amidst loud ap plause, a few hands only being held up against it. A resolution appointing a deputation to wait on the Prime Minister to urge upon. him the propriety of revok ing the order for discontinuing the bands, was also adopted, and a petition to the Queen having been agreed to the proceedings terminated.

Of the new acquisitions of Russia on the river Amoor by which the frontier of th.e empire has been advances as far as to the Japanese See, and made to include a new territory nearly equal iii extent to that of France, little hitherto has been certainly known. The Russians themselves, as may be Kipp need, were not eager to pro mulgate exact information about the state of their settle ments in that region, since this would have enabled their antagonists to repeat under more favourable sus pines, those attacks which during the campaign of last year failed through ignoran. se of localities. The allies seem to have missed the month of the Amoor, or at all events, to have kept at to< ) great a distance from it to be able to obtain a knoll , ledge of the establishments founded by the Russians, w!iikt on the other hand the deicriptions given by Amen: can merchant captains of a second Sebastopol built on the Amoor, with a garrison of 10,000 men, and the like, were such palpable exagge rations, that people were temqyted to look upon the whole Russian colony at the Amoor as a myth, a settlement in fairy land. Nevertheless tho .official reports of the Rus sian admirals Savojks and Pltjatin, describing the mili tary operations in the Tataric channel, and the return of the latter officer through Si beria to St. Petersburg, nubliehed in the Airorskoi Sbovliik, or official gazette of the Russian Admiralty, relates; some particu'ars that may serve for data towards partiall y ascertaining the progress made by the Russians down lo the close of la , t year, in occupying and colonising that part of the Mandshoo district which is watered by the Amcor. Not far from the mouth of tiff) Amor, and on its right bank, lie the posts or forts of Marunek, or Kisi, and Nicolajevsk, the latter of which appears to be the more important of the two. For lie re it was that the squad ron of Rear-Admiral Savojka., consisting of the Aurora frigate, the Olivuzz.) corvette, the transports Dwina, Baikal, and Irtish, came to an chor in the June of 1855, under the protection of the batteries that had been erected there' These batteries were probably constructed in the year 1852, as allusion is made to the observa tions, extending over three years, made by Rear-Admi ral Nevelskoj respecting the course of the ice in the Amoor. From these it woul d seem that the estuary of the river is not free from ice, before the Ist or 13th of June, two [months later than its disappearance in the Neva, although the mouth of the latter stream is nearly eight degrees higher to the :north. This phenomenon is owing to the well-known 'influence of the climate in the north-eastern part of A ria, an influence that will assuredly diminish in no trifli aig measure the advantages which the Russians expect t o derive from the free navi gation of the Amoor. It is evident, however, from the reports, that they make the most of the short period during which the river is naerizable, and that they pos sess no inconsiderable number of vessels there, for they talk about the second and third divisions of the Anioor flotilla, that arrived in June and July, with settlers on board, and who, having lands d between Maruneck asi Nicolajevek, proceeded, under cover of two companies from the 14th Siberian batty lion of the line, to build dwellings. Even at that early period this flotilla pos sessed at least one steamer. From the Amoor the Russian establishments are already advancing in a southerly direction along the eastern coast of Mandshooria. When the allies came, about the end of May. in 1555:, for the second time, to Castries Bay, where Admiral Savojka had been shortly before on his passage from Kamschatka ' and where he had been blockaded by a division of the English squad ron, they found it entirely abandoned, and discovered merely the signs of its having been used as a temporary encampment by the Russians. The interval that elapsed between this and the reappearance of the enemy was not neglected on the Russian side. The Governor-General of East Siberia, Muravieff, repaired in person to the spot, and under his superintendence the works were carried on with such energy that when Commodore Elliot reappeared in Castries Bay with the Sybil frigate, and the corvettes Encounter and Hornet, in October, he found a settlement there in an advantageous position, a garrison of Cossacks, sailors, a n d gunners, and the place so far fortified that it was able to withstand successfully the bombardment opened against it by the ships. The new colony, which already carries on a brisk trade with the Americans, who supply it with all kinds of pro visions, and especially of ammunition, bears the name of Alexandrovsk ; it is situate on the little stream of Nelly, and consists of a certain number of tenements with magazines, an hospital, and a church in a churchyard. Quite close to Salmon Bay there is a village of Giljaks, where the inhabitants "seem to live on very friendly terms with the Russians. Beyond a doubt the latter nc ' :the; constructed a fOrt, also on the — opposite coast of Sagalio, for the purpose of co mman di ng th e Tatatic CLannel, and securing, as also eventually closing, the entrance to the Amoor from the southern side. With the cesFation of hostilities will of course ceaso the motives that have hitherto induced the Russians to keep their undertakings a secret, end we may, therefore, expect to see the veil raised, with which they have en deavoured to conceal their most recent settlements so i m portant for the trade of Siberia. A map of the Amoor by Admiral Putjatin and his officers will very shortly appear in St. Petersburg, as we are informed by the Inerskoi oSbornik. We read in Galignani—"Before the departure of ne Court for St. Cloud, M. E. Girand, portrait painter, was permitted to take a likeness of the Prince Imperial. The artist is said to have succeeded perfectly in seizing the resemblance, and the fine blue eyes of the imperial itdant in the picture are precisely similar to those of the Empress." Great numbers of persons have been arrested in Paris and the provinces. There is much discontent in the Faubourg St. Marceau, chiefly 911 account of the dear. Reg% of lodging And provision%
