THE STEREOSCOPE. Sir D. Brewster ha addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Tintes : " Sir—ln the notice o f M r . F a ye's stereoscope which I soot you under the signature "A," not thinking it of sufficient importance to add my name, I claimed the invention of it for Mr. Wheatstone as well as for Mr. Rhott, referring distinctly to Mr. Wheatstone's paper. as published in 1838, and to the later date of 1839, when Mr. Elliot executed his instrument. I theref.re gave to Mr. Wheatstone all the originality which he claims from prior publication. But, as I had undoubted evidence that Mr. Elliot in- vented the stereose3re in 1834, and as his form of the instrument was exactly the same as Mr. Faye'F, while Mr. Wheatstone'F, though equally ingenious, was diffe rent, I place Mr. Elliot's claim before Mr. Wheatstone's , . I believe, therefore, that Mr. Elliot and Mr. Wheat- stone are independent inventors of an instrument or me thod fnr uniting two dissimilar pictures, and thus pro ducing relief, but that neither of them discovered the principle of the stereoscope. Mr. Elliot lays no claim to such a discovery. Mr. Wheatstone does on the follow ing grounds. After quoting a curious experiment on binocular vision, in which Leonardo da Vinci was on the eve of inventing the stereoscope, he makes the following observations : " Had Leonardo da Vinci taken, instead of a sphere, a less simple figure for the purpose of his illustration, he would not only have observed that the object obscured from each eye a different part of the more distant field of view, brit the fact would also, perhaps, have forced itself upon his attention that the object itself presented a different, appearance to each eye. He failed to do this, and no sub sequent writer within my knowledge has supplied the omission ; the projection of two obviously dissimilar pic tures on the two retince when a single object is viewed, while the optic axes converge, must therefore be regarded as a new fact in the theory of vision."—Philosophical Transactions, 1838, pp. 372-3. Now, this claim to the fundamental principle of the stereoscope is groundless. Euclid knew it. Galen knew it, and explained it. Baptista Porta quotes Galen's explanation, and illustrates it with a figure. Aguilonius in various parts of his Optics does the same, and in his chapter on the vision of solids (ra ijrepea, to sterea) he is puzzled in explaining how the two clis , itnilar pic tures give a distinct image in relief. Early in 1852, and more recently, in my Treatise ode the Stere• scope, I have quoted the passage from these authors to prove their knowledge of the principle in question, and Mr. Wheat stone has made no reply to the statement. It is doubt less strange that he was not acquainted with the re searches of Galen, Porta, and Aguilonitie, for he tells us (Phil. Trans., 1838, page 372) that, "after looking over the wcrks of many authors who might be expected to have made some remarks relating to this subject, he was able to find but one which is in the Trate= della Pit tura of Leonardo da Vinci." Among these works were those of Pota and Aguilonius, and he has more than once quoted both of them (pages 388, 390, 391, 393), but, though I make this remark, I do not mean to in sinuate, nor do I believe, that Mr. Wheatstone saw the passages to which I have referred. In the extract from Mayo's Outlines, &c., from which it is evident that Mr. Wheatstone was acquainted with the principle of the stereoscope in 1833, and therefore earlier than Mr. Elliot, there is no mention wtatever of any instrument or method of combining the pictures. It affords no proof that the reflecting stereoscope was then in existence ; that he did combine them is obvious, and if he had assured us that he did it by means of the re flecting instrument I should have implicit confidence in the statement. In concluding his letter, Mr. Wheatstone 'remarks that I was the last person to have disputed the origi nality of his invention, as he can show from his corres pondence with me in 1832 " that I was aware that at that time he was preparing for publication his memoir on the subject." I therefoi e call upon Mr. Wheatstone to publish this letter, or any part of it that has the least reference to the stereoscope. If it has, I pledge myself in future to 'place his claims above those of Mr. Elliot, whenever I have occasion to write or speak on the subject. Mr. Wheatstone's memoir is entitled " Contributions to the Physiology of Vision," and I may well have known that he was preparing it for publication without the slightest knowledge that the stereoscope was to be one of the 'various subjects of which it treats. As priority of publication is held by Mr. Wheatstone to establish the "originality of an invention," it may be sufficient to state to English readers that if this doc trine be admitted Sir Isaac Newton has no claim to be the inventor of Fluxions. Leibnitz published the method before him, but there is ample evidence that Newton, was the earliest Inventor. In the preceding observations I have avoided the o ff ens i v e personalities with which this subject has been noticed in a silly article in the Westminster Review. I have no personal feelings to gratify in giving an opinion on this question. As the inventor of the lenticular stereoscope now in universal use, and of other forms of the instrument, I, of course, feel an interest in the subject, and, involving as it does nice questions in the theory of vision, that interest has been grea tly increased. In preparing lectures on the philo sophy of the senses I had occasion to study the depart ment of binocular vision ; and in the " Edinburgh Transactions for 1843" I have given the true and de monstrable theory of t , qt stereoscope, after Mr. Wheat stone had wholly failed and acknowledged his failure (Phil. Trans., 1838, p. 360). That theory has now been before the scientific world for nearly 14 years, and has never been controverted. When t he paper which con tains it was written I believed that Mr. Wheatstone was the sole inventor of the principle of the stereoscope, as well as of the reflecting instrument, and I never failed to give him the credit of both. He himself knows how I was compelled to liivestigate the subject, and to estab lish the claims of others—of ancient authors to the prin ciple, and of Mr, Elliot to an instrument for exhibiting it.

The charge is a heavy one, but it would have carried. more weight with it had it been specific. The*Dature of the calumnies is not stated ; and as the offeroding journals are not named we have no clue whereby to discover wherein they have offended. In 'the name of the English Press we demand that the accusation be made specific, in order that we and our contemporaries may defend our : . selves if innocent, or make amends if we have done wrong. As for anything that may be said hy the English Press having a tendency to do stroy confidence between:the French and English Governments, no one knows better than the Ewpe ror of the French h ow u tt er l y una ble the Eaglistr Government are to exercise any influence over the ' f ie t n he t t Emperor's m perce s a b sence a t C o mpi.Tne discussions of the En g li s h press , an d how entirely irresponsible they ar e f or anyt hi ng it :nay say, This convince us that advanteee has ablooenne takenis sufficient o 1 y some of those underling s who have been pub s'nailar complaints in the semi-afield jour nals of Paris, to foist the denunciation. to which we are adverting into the M onit 6 ur.

They fancy Parisian journals, mere organs of individuals or eateries ; and they flatter themselves that the bruturn fulmen of the Moniteur will frighten the English people into a coercion, of their newspapers. The Emperor knows well the absurdity of such a notion, and we feel • confident that the escapade •of ,the official journal ,will cause him serious annoyance and bring down a ' sharp rebuke on its authors. We maintain that, so far from evincing ahimo . towards the French people or Government, the general tone and tenour of the Englishpress has dis-e played a warm friendship for the forrnet .

As fee what con-. cerns the French Government, we will not a.ffect.tn entertain aeons fence in it which we do not feel; but ever since the present dynasty received the sanction of the French people, our comments upon it have been confined within the legitimate limits of aeonsti tutional opposition—such as we might offer to an English administration to whose political principles we were hostile. Our relation to the measures of the French Government has undoubtedly been generally anlagoni,tie, but we have been fair and even cour teous opponents. We have lett to pot-house. poli ticians the vending of ignoble personal aspersions.

At the annual dinner of the Evercreech Agricultural So ciety, held at, Shepton Mallet, Somersetshire, on Thursday evening last, Wm. Miles, Esq., M.P., presided. Iu the course of the evening, " The County Members" was given as a toast, in reply to which,, Mr. %TILES said—l have now bad the honour of represent ing this county for twenty-two long years ; and though I belong to possibly a party of politicians almost now extinct —I mean the old Tory party—yet, I trust, you have found thatagOod pleasures, whatever party they came. from, have always had my support. (Applause.) But still, gentlenien, though I thank God I at present enjoy good health, I cannot forget that age 14 creeping upon nvetud 7 all,l4rave to look to is tits; that when it - becomes me to resign the office whfch you have, thrown upon me, I shall resign it with the goodwill of my constitupcy, and 'at the same time with the feeling that, though I may have been mistaken on some questions, yet I have conscientiously upheld what I thought was for the good of the whole.natiou. (Cheers.) At the commencement of the war I was frequently ameng you, and then endeavoured to collect your sentiments. I believe I did so honestly and faith fully, and endeavoured to represent them in Parliament ; and, therefore, when I supported the prosecution of the war with all vigour, I felt that I spoke the language of my constituents. But still, .though I and my gallant friend near me (Captain Seobell) have both in our former addresses wished and prayed that the present peace may be long, yet I must not di-guise from you the fact, that there are elements at present in the political world which bid fair, as far as human foresight can see, to disturb the harmony which at present exists. I was not aware of it, but the leading journal stated, in an article some three weeks ago, that.tho basis of the conferences at Paris lays, down the rule that no nation was at liberty to maintain a rule or' misrule which might affect the interests of a neighbouring nation or the security of Europe. Now we have always gone, up to the present time, on the principle of non-interference with the internal concerns of any nation. If this was the basis of the consultations at Paris, I say it is entirely oppvsel to . the rule we have always adopted unani mously—the non-interference with the private concerns of any nation, and moreover that it might threatea the stability of any peace. (Hear.) For what we call misrule other de spotic nations may call rule, and who is to be the arbiter between us ? (Applause.) Why at ance it be,xmcs appa rent that it must be force on the one side and force on the other ; and therefore I think this is a dangerous doctrine to maintain. My opinion is to stick relig:ously to the principle which for ',ears you have adopted—which was years ago laid down by Lord Castlereagh—that of non-interference with the regulations and laws of any foreign country, By so doing you will maintain peace; by doing otherwise you know not when Europe may be convulsed by a general war. I am for giving way to no power on earth ; let our laws be respected, let our subjects be respected—and so they shall be if ever I can say aye in such a matter—but do not, becausa a despotic king holds his subjects in thraldom, interfere with the inter nal government of his kingdom, and plunge us into war. While you do me the honour of maintaining mo where you have placed me, the principle of non-interference I will main tain, but let our dignity be touched, let England be outraged, and then I will cry out, and shall be auswared by almost every voice in this country—" Throw away the scabbard, out with the sword, and at once at it." (Loud cheers.) I have little to address to you on other topics ; the papers are exceedingly dull, and one paper is talking about tho annihila tion of party, and another on the necessity of upholding it. But when for two years we have been united on one point, is In pursuance of this object we have doubtles s often been compelled to enunciate unpalatable . truths. And the present compels us to re-riist in this un-courtierlike course. The present is no time for soothing flattery. A. combined monetary and commercial crisis in France i 3 producing a monetary crisis in England. Here we are in little ultimate danger. Trade and manufactures are with us in an unprecedentedly healthy condition. We run no greater danger than that of temporary pressure and embarrassment from the reaction .or contagion of French suffering. That, however, is a sufficient reason why we should seek to avert from France eils which must necessarily be se verely, though not fatally, felt by ourselves. With regard to France, matters are very different. It is not merely the money market that is disturbed ; the manufactures and commerce of that country are in an alarming condition. And this condition, if not produced exclusively by the unwise policy of the French Government, is in a large measure owing to it, and has been materially aggravated . by it. This being the case, justice to our own coun trymen, and friendship to our French neighbours, alike compel us to protest against the false policy of the French Government, even at the risk of irri tating the Emperor, or—what would be nearer the exact truth—Lis. masters, the gamblers of the Bourse, and the protected interests. it to be wondered at that you find some gentlemen voting one way, and some another ? Depend upon it, if aggression is made upon principles, parties will as readily come forward and unite as they have ever heretofore done on such an occa sion. But I do not see so much to regret as the papers do ; I think at present we are going on very well, and I hope and trust that prosperity may still exist, that the agriculturist, the mechanic, and the labourer may be well paid for their work, and if so, I do not think we shall have much to com plain of in the want of union of the different parties who may represent you. The boil. member resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. THE EARL OF CARDIGAY. The fundamental error of the French Govern ment is its havingundertaken t. Jo p eep]o what it is beyond the power of any Government to accomplish. The labouring classes have been en couraged to look to the Government as able to in sure' them constant employment and cheap and plentiful provisions, and other necessaries of life. Under any circumstances the attempts of the GJ vornment to realise such expectations must have been futile. Bat ever since the Prince President or Emperor snatched the veins of government, the seasons have fought against him. He calculated with too sanguine an assurance that the return of confidence and commercial activity, the result of the establishment of a "strong Government," would , be permanent. Some men see a strange fatality in the circumstance that war, famine,. pes tilence, inundation, have marked every successive year since December, 1852. It has been as if " the stars in their courses fought against Sisera." Every year there has leen a deficient harvest. The grape disease has shown no symptoms of abasement. This year there is at least a doubtful harvest ; and to this have been superalled the inundations and the certain failure of the silk eiops. The agriculcitrists have lost their crops, and the manufacturers lack their raw material. The Emperor has sought to' ewoourkntse, a r a tciSciby these givingevi evils by imm ense and public ma nufactures and commerce. In this he has been stimulated and confirmed by daring speculators, who , ehave found their own profit in the course an artificial mense which they have induced or encouraged him to pursue. The consequence is tha% large sums have been expended, and larger debts incurred, in beau tifying Paris and other cities ; and monopolist spe culators have been enabled to launch out into foreign enterprises, which are extensively withdrawing capital from the country. We say nothing at present of the lavish expenditure incurred by at tempts to dazzle the populace by Imperial osten tation, though that, too, is an item in the account. But the day of reckoning, which we have foretold from the beginning, i 3 fast approaching. The foreign engagements of the Credit Mobilier Cali only be met by the continuance of that drain of capital which is paralysing domestic industry. The public workscan only be continued by imposts upon the proprietary class, which must impoverish many and alienate the affections of all. The system has not realised what was expected of it. Builders, paviours, artists, have had employment ; but in the great centres of manufacturing industry there are multitudes unemployed. Provisions and house rent have steadily risen. A crisis has arrived in which it is equally dangerous to abandon or per sist in the policy that has been adopted. The prospects of the coming winter fill men with the darkest forebodings. An immense strain has been put on the national resources ; people are seeking employment at a time when itis most improvident to increase public works ; financiers at their wit's end talkof a suspension of cash payments—in other words of a recurrence to the system of assiguata ; the Emperor's popularity declines, and secret so cieties extend. The most alarming feature of this state of affairs is the uncertainty and vacillation which seems to pervade th e ac ti on o f G overn ment. Disapproba day it tion of undue speculation is expressed, but no effi cient measures are taken to check it. O ne 138 :1 1 Ocipe power behind is announced that the works at the L_o c u r v e r d e it ar i e s suspended, and the next a supplemeni 1 ve dcuane Se bastopol. Alleviations of the restri system are announced, and then indefinitely and. post poned.

And yet, by c , al blindness, at this very moment the Press of France is more strictly gagged than ever. It therefore becomes the imperative duty'of the Press of England to urge these discussions, and express those opinions in the interest of France which Frenchmen are denied the libe'rty of urging or uttering for themselves. To do this is a duty we owe butt to France and Euglend, and we still con tinue to discharge it—temperately but firmly—un deterred by the oracular fulminations of the lifoniteur.--Daily News. Tile Post of yesterday publishes a letter signed "George Ryan, author of r The Lives of our Heroes in the Crimea."' The writer intimates that he is the per eon referred to as a " low, hireling slanderer." in Lord Cardigan's rec,nt letter, where the phrase "the maig• nant slanders of Messrs. Back and Ryan " is also used. Mr. Ryan qu,..,tes several alleged "conversations " to back up his o, o contradiction of Lord CarJigan's state ment that his conduct at Balaklava, has been but recently canvassed. "On the rout of the Russian cavalry by the Heavy Brigade, by General Scarlett, Captain William Morrie, of the 17th Lancerp, in the presence of many officers, thus communed with his lordship : Captain Morris—' My lord, you are not going to charge the flying enemy ' Lord Cardigan—' No ; we have orders to remain here.' Captain Morris—' But, my lord, it is our positive duty to follow up this advantage.' Lord Cardigan—' We must remain here.' Captain Morris—' Do, my lord, allow me to charge them with the Lancers ! See, my lord, they are in dis order !' Lord CAlligan—‘ We must remain here.' Captain Morris (to several officers)—' Gentlemen, you are witnesses of my request.' " Was this nothing ' on the subject for many months after the battle of Balaklava ?' "When his lordship retreated from the guns, Captain Alexander Low (flow Colonel Low) thus adsressed Lord George Paget:— _ ford George, what are we t 3 do ? Lend George Paget—' W here is Lord Cardigan 1' Captain Low--‘ Did you not see Lord Cardigan gallop back through our lines as we were coining up ? Lora George Paget—` Then we must tight until we are beaten back.' "I re-aisert • that the following took place : " Scene, the position which the reamaut of the Light Brigade took un.

The Earl of Cardigan—' Yes, and there were Cossacks poking at me there—l felt their lances poking about t me somewhere I' "His lordship further observes, these calumnies met with no encouragement from the respectable portion of the press. It was therefore unnecessary for me to treat them otherwise than with siience and contempt.' " Has Lord Cardigan lost all recollection of his own de iberate acts ? Now the noble and gallant soldier did not treat what he is pleased to term my calumnies' with silence and contempt,' for shortly atter the publication of my book he wrote ,to the Crimea, requesting Lord Wm. Paulet's opinion as to the accuracy of my state ment, wherein I make Lord William an eye-witness of the Earl of Cardigan's retreat. The reply of Lord Win. Paulet is in the bands of the Earl of Cardigan, and would in print be excellent proof of silence and con tempt.' By the same post the noble lord wrote also to General Scarlett for his opinion on the obnoxious pas sage in my book. • • " My noble accuser stigmatises me as a paid slanderer. That is a very unenviable character wherewith to stand before a publisher and the public, and I have therefore instructed nay solicitor to bring the Earl of Cardigan into court, there to justify—if he can—the language he hai so imprudently been advised to adopt towards one who, some 18 months since, the noble actl gallant general considered worthy of commendation. " All the necessary witnesces are in the United King dom. His lordship has riches. Let the noble lord look to it then, that no unseemly legal technicalities be throwh in the way of speedy justice.", - LO N - DON, sA CU riDA Y EVENING. OCTOBER 25, 185% MR. PBABODY'S BECbPTION AT HOME. The village of Danvers, Massachusetts, was decorated on the 9th inst. in honour of the return of Mr. Peabody to his Dative town after a long absence' in England. The British and American flags intermingled their folds at every cor ner. Mr. Peabody, who was in a carriage and six, was met by a procession, at the entrance of the town, and received the most hearty congratulations on all sides. Upwards of 1,000 persons sat down to a banquet in a mammoth tent, which was decorated with evergreens and mottoes, one of which was decorated with evergreens and mottoes—one of which was " Englitnd my abiding • Place— America my Home." . Mr. Peabody was supported by ,the Hon. F. Everett, the Hon. Mr. Daniels (who presided), the Go vernor, &c. The speeches commenced with " The Health of Mr. Pea body, and a cordial and hearty Welcome to that distinguished Citizen, eminent Merchant, and public Benefactor." In reply, Mr. PRABODY said—Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—The reception you have given me to-day overpowers me. Few boys ever left a New England bores under circumstances more humble than I did—none could return more honoured, too, where honour is said not te be usual, in his own country and among his own kindred. I feel proud as well as grateful at these testimonials, so far beyond my merits, but so gratifying to my heart, anti which I shall ever esteem the greatest honour of my life. You have alluded, Mr. Chairman, to my course as a mer chant. Heaven has' been pleased to reward my efforts with success, and has permitted me to establish, through my own exertions, a house in the great metropolis of Eng land, which I think, my mercantile friends here present will bear me out in Baying sustains a high character and credit throughout the world. Coming back to the home of my -childhood I honestly confess that I feel- great pride in this, and I do not believe that you will accuse me of egotism in saying so: I have endeavoured, in the constitution of its members and the character of its busi ness, to make an American house, and to give it an Ame rican atmosphere—to furnish it with American journals— to make it a centre for American news and an agreeable place for my American friends visiting London; That I have partially succeeded in doing so I thiiik I may reason ably conclude from the flattering testimonials which 1 have received since my arrival in this country. (Cheers.) You have also been pleased to allude to my humble effort to promote good feeling ,between Great Britain and the United States, by increasing the social intercourse between my English and American friends. That a cordial alliance ought to exist between these two countries, founded on social intercourse and personal friendships, as well as mutual interests, is an opinion which I share with most persons who have had the opportunity to see both. (Ap plause.) lam happy indeed if my humble efforts have aided in promoting such good feeling. If there are two nations on the face of the earth that ought to be,connected by the closest ties of mutual goodwill they are these two countries. (Renewed applause.) It is not in the language ordinarily used that I point to the similarity in their in stitutions, their laws, their language, and their commer cial interests. The exports of this country to Great Bri tain are larger than to all the world besides. The exports from Great Britain to this country, though not relatively so large, are on an equally gigantic scale. A monetary crisis in one country is generally followed by like results in the other. A change in the financial policy on the one side is met by a responsive change in the other The journals of each country reflect at length each other's views and sentiments. Out of this very intimacy of relations there grows frequent cause of difference; but I am sure that, notwithstanding the little outbursts of jealousy which occasionally show themselves, England is not less proud of her offspring than is America of the parent stock. I can assure you that from the universally beloved Queen who rules those realms down to her humblest sun ject, one feeling of goodwill towards this country prevails. (Three cheers for the Queen.) I say this with the greatest confidence, since I see around mo many gentlemen who have had an opportunity to see for themselves whether these things are so. To none can I appeal more confidently than to you, Sir (turning to Mr. Everett), who have filled the most important office abroad in tho gift of our Government with so much honour to your own country and so much sa tisfaction to thcs3 to whom you were accredited. (Loud. chew B.) •I have been reminded to-day that one who fol lowed worthily in the footsteps of my friend on my light has passed away. The corner-stone of the Peabody Insti tute was laid by Abbott Lawrence, but before it was com pleted his pure spirit had left the world. I admired him for his practical talents; I respected. Lim for his virtues, and loved him as a friend.' Like myself, he was convinced of the great importance of conciliation, forbearance, and mutual goodwill between England and America. During his whole mission he laboured earnestly to cultivate these feelings, and I take a melancholy pleasure in adding n.y humble tribute to his memory—in testifying not only to the profuseness of his own hospitalities and tho constancy of his own labours to these ends, but to the heartiness and zeal with which he co-operated in my more humble efforts. The memory of such a man as Abbott Lawrence is doubly blessed. The next regular toast was—" England and Am erica— ptichra Mater, pulchrior Felia. Long may they flourish in the Bonds of Peace, Rivals in their efforts to civilise and Christianise the World." The Hon. EDWARD EVERETT responded as follows : Mr. President,—l suppose you have called upon me to respond to this interesting toast, chiefly because I filled, a few years ago, a place abroad which made me in some de gree the associate of your distinguished guest in the kindly office of promoting goodwill between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Norman race (for I do not think it matters much by which name you call it), " the fair mother and the fairer daughter," to which the toast alludes. At all events, I had much opportunity, during my residence in England, to witness the honourable position of Mr. Peabody in the commercial and social circles of London, his efforts to make the citizens of the two countries favourably known to each other; and gene rally that course of life and conduct which has contributed to procure him the well-deserved honours of this day, and which shows that he fully enters into the spirit of the sen timent jasirpropounded from the chair. To the prayer of that sentiment, sir, I fully respond, desiring nothing more ardently in the foreign relations of the country than that these two great nations may be rivals only in their efforts to promote the welfare and improvement of mankind. They have already done, they are now doing much at home and abroad to promote that end by the arts of peace. Whenever they co-operate they can sweets every thing before them—when they are at variance, when they pull opposite ways, it is the annihilation of much of the moral power of both. Whenever E n g land and Am erica combine their influences in promot in g a worthy . object it moves forward like a vessel propell ed by the united force of wind and steam ; but when they are in conflict with each other it is like the struggle of the toiling engine against the opposing tempest. It is well if the labouring vessel holds her own—there is danger that she may be buried under the mountain waves, or drift upon therocks. It is quite obvious to remark on this occasion and on this subject, while you are offering a tribute of respect to a distinguished man of business, that these two great nations leadingt w io h n ic , h ar a e re th d e oi t n w g o so much a for om m t e h r e cial advancementnationsof the ci w vi o l r is ld a : that they have carried navigation and com merce to height unknown before. And this consideration, s. will serve to justify you and your f ellow-citizens, if they need justification, for the honours you are bestowing upon the guest of the day, as it will the other communities in different parts of the country which have been desirous of joining in similar public demonstrations of respect. With out wishing to disparage the services which command your respect and gratitude in tho walks of political , military, or literary life, it is natural that in a country like the United States, where commerce is so important an interest you should be prompt to recognise distinguished merit in the commercial career—a career of which, when pursued with diligence, sagaeity,enterprise, integrity, and honour, I deem it not too much to say that it stands behind no other in its titles to respect and consideration ; as I deem it not too much for say of commerce, in its largest comprehension, that it has done as much in all time, and is now doing as much to promote the general cause of civilisation, as any of the other great pursuits of life. Trace its history for a moment from the earliest period. In the infancy of the world its caravans, like gigantic silkworms, went creeping through the arid wastes of Asia and Africa, with their in finitesimal legs, and bound the hum'an family together in those vast regions as they bind it together now. Its colo nial establishments scattered the Grecian culture all round the shores of the Mediterranean, and carried the adven tures of Tyre . and Carthage to the north of Europe and the south ofAfrica. The walled cities of the middle ages pre vTehnet ed Hansetbe at: towns n a s nd we r i7th e out of existcnce under the iron heel of the feudal powers. f l ro ib m ert b y ein an g d t p r ro ani p p e l r e t: in the north and west of Europe for ages. The germ of the representative system sprang from the municipal, franchises of the boroughs. At the r ev i va l of letters the merchant princes of Florence received the fugitive arts of Greece into their stately palaces. The spirit of commercial adventure produced that movement in th e 14 t h century which carried Columbus to America and Vacco di Gama round the Cape of Good Hope. The doop fOundations of the modern system of international law were laid in the inte rests and rights of commerce and the necessity of pro tecting them. Commerce sprinkled th e t reasures of the newly found Indies throughout the western nations; it nerved the arm of civil and religious liberty in the Protes tant world; it gra•lnAlly carried the colonial system of Europe to the ends of the earth, and with it the elements of future independent, civilised Republican Governments. But why should we dwell on the past What is it that • gives vigour to the civilisation of the present day but the world-wide extension of commercial intercourse, by which all the products of the earth and of the ocean, of the soil, the mine, of the loom, of the forge, of bounteous nature, creative art, and untiring iiadustry, .are brought by the agencies of .commerce into the • 1 kt '1 d universe : mar e oi . ( eman and supply.? No matter in what region_ the desirable pro duct is besaowed on Mau t by a liberal Providence, or fa bricated bychumau skill. .It.naay clothe the.bills of China with its fragrant foliage—it may glitter in the golden sands of Califoru a—it may wallow in the. depths of the Arctic seas —it may whiten and ripen in the fertile plains of the nanny south—it may spring forth frim the flying shuttles of, Manchester in England, or Manchester in A.merica—the great world magnet'of commerce attracts it all alike, a nd gethees it all np•for . the service of man. I lo not speak of English comnierce, or American commerce. Such disti actions : belittle our coaceptionse I speak of commerce in the aggregate—the great ebbing and flowing tides of the. commercial world—the great gulf-streams of traffic which flow round from hemisphere to hemisphere— (he mighty trade-winds of commerce which sweep from the Old World to the New—that vast aggregate system which emb races the whole family of man, and kings the overflowing treasures.of nature and art into kindly rela tion with human want,. convenience, and taste. In carry ing on this system, think for a moment of the stupendous igencies that are put in Motion: Think for a moment of , ill the ships that, navigate the sea. An old Latin poet, who knew 'no waters beyond ,those of the Mediterranean Ind Levant,, says that the man must have had a triple casting Of oak and brass about 'hi s bosom who first trusted Ms frail brisk on the raging sea. How many thousands of ia ains of vessels laden by commerce ere at this moment navigating„ cot the nary sow seas freqaen ted lay the ancients, but the world-I anciunliassi 4'ocearii.

And, now, sir, is it anything less than a liberal profession, which carries a qt tick intelligence, a prophetic forecast, an indus try that newer tires, and, more than all, and above all, a stainless probity beyond reproach and beyond suspicion, into this vast and complicated system, and, by the blessing of rrovidenee, works out a prosperous result? Such is the vocation of the merchant, the man of business, pursued in many departments of foreign and domestic trade—of finance, of exchange, but all comprehend under the general name of commerce—all concerned in weaving the mighty network of mutually beneficial exchanges which enwraps the world. I know there is a chide to this bright picture. Where among the works of the fortunes of men shall we A find one that is all sunlight ? Napoleon I. thought he had said enough to disparage England when he had pronounced her a wider. of shopkeepers ; and we Americans are said by some of .our own writers to be slaves of the almighty dollar. But, these are sallies of national hostility, or the rebukes which a stern moral sense r ightly administers to the besetting sins of individuals or communities.

I believe that the commercial profession is as capable of being pursued with intelligence ; , honour, and public spirit as any other ; and, when so pursued, is as compatible with purity and eleva tion of chass actor as any other, as well entitled to tie hon ours which a community bestows on those who adorn and serve it, tho honours which you this day delight to pay to your friend and guest. I was not the witness of the commeneetitent of hi' career abroad; but we all know that it soon fell , upon that disastrous period when all American credit stood. low—when the default of some of the States, and the temporary inability of others to meet their obliga tions, and the failure of several of our moneyed institu tions, thre'.v doubt and distrust on all American securities. That great sympathetic nerve of the commercial world— credit—as f:tr as the United States was concerned, was for the time paralysed. At that moment—and it was a trying one—our fri eud not only stood firm himself, but he was the cause of firm ness in others. His judgment commanded re spect, his integrity won back the reliance which mea had been accustomed to place in American securities. The re proach in which they were all indiscriminately involved was gradually wiped away from those of a substantial character; and it' on this solid base of unsuspected good faith he reared his own prosperity, let it be remembered that at the same time he retrieved the credit of the State of which he was the agent, performing the miracle, if I may so venture to express myself, by which the word of an honest man turns paper into gold. A course like this, however commendable, might proceed from cal culation. If it led to prosperity and opulence, it might he pursued for motives exclusively selfish. Bat Mr. Pea body took a different view of the matter, and immediately began to act upon an old fashioned New-England maxim, which, I dare say, be learned in childhood, and carried with him from Danvers, that influence and property have their duties as well as their privileges, and set himself to work to promote the convenience and enhance the enjoy ments of his travelling fellow-countrymen, a numerous and important class. The traveller, often the friendless travel ler, stands greatly in need of good offices in a foreign land. several of you, my friends, know this, I am sure, by ex perience ; some of you can say how perseveringly, how liberally these good. offices were exteuded by our friend, through a long course of years, to his travelling country men. How many days, otherwise weary, have been winged with cheerful 'enjoyments through his agency; how many otherwise drat hours, in health and in sickness, enlivened by his attentaons ! It occurred to our friend especially to do that on a :large scale which had hitherto been done to a very lithitad extent by our diplomatic representatives abroad. The smallsalaries and still smaller private means (with a single exception) of our Ministers at St. James had prevented them from extending the rites of hospitality as liberal" as they could wish to their fellow-citizens abroad. Our friend, h appily, with ample means, determined to sup ply the defect, and brought together at the social board from year to year, at a succession of entertainments equally magnificent and tasteful, hundreds of his own countrymen and of his English friends. How much was done in this way to promote kind feeling and mutual goodwill, to soften prejadice, to establish a good understanding ; in a word, to nurture that generous rivalry inculcated in the sentiment to which you have bid me respond, I need not say. I have been particularlyrequested by my friend, Sir H. Holland, a gen tleman of the highest social and professional standing, to state, while expressing his deep regret that he cannot participate in this day's festivities, that he has attended several of Mr. Peabody's international entertainments in London, and felt them to be of the happiest tendency it promoting kind feeling between the two countries. We are bound as Americans, on this occasion particularly, to remember the very important services rendered by your guest to his countrymen who went to England in 1851 with specimens of the products and arts of this country to be exhibited in the Crystal Palace. In most, perhaps all other cou ntries, this exhibition had been ma de a Government affair. Commissione rs had been appointed b y authorit y to and, what was more were made to defray f as bm i i o to n on s resy w ; ere made by Congress. Our exhibitors arrived penn iless —some of them penniless pro itluhepi t or e r c et t xa up the etn, sa ki ; e r N r o e po s r t ia s apt o pi —in the great commerc ial Babel of the w orld. They found the portion of the Crysta l Palace assi g n ed to our country fo r on exhibitors x r oh i i unprepared for the art and industry which they had brought with them, naked and unadorned, by the side of the neigh bouring arcaaes and galleries fitted up with elegance and splendour by the richest Governments in Europe. The English press began to launch its too ready sarcasms at the sorry appearance which Brother Jonathan seemed likely to make, and all the exhibitors from this country,and all who felt an interest in their success, were disheartened. At this critical moment our friend stepped forward. He did what Congress should have done. By liberal advances on his pa: t the American department was fitted up, and day after day some new product of American ingenuity and taste was added to the list—M'Cormick's reaper, Colt's revolver, Power's Greek Slave, Hobbs's unpickable lock, Roe's won derful printing presses, and Bonds more wonderful spring governor—and it began to be suspected that Brother Jona than was not quite so much of a simpleton as had been thought. Ho bad contributed his full share, if not to the splendour, at least to tho utilities of the Exhibition. In fact, the leading journal of London admitted that England had derived more real benefit from the contributions of 'the United States than from those of any other country. Our friend on that occasion, much as he had done in the way tueutioned to promote the interest and success of the American exhibitors, and to enable them to sustain that generous rivalry to which the toast alludes, thought he , had not done suite enough for their gratification. Accord inglY; in a mast generous international banquet, he brought together, on the ono hand, the most prominent of his coun trymen drown by the occasion to London, and on the other Hand the Chairman of the Royal Commission, with other personS of consideration in England, and his British friends generally, and in a loving cup of Old Danvers oak pledged them, on both sides, to warmer feelings of mutual good will than they had before entertained. • In these ways, Mr. Presidents our friend has certainly done his share to carry into effect the principle of the toast to which you called upon me to reply. But it is not w belly por chiefly for these kindly offices and Comprehensive courtesies, nor for the success with which he has pursued the paths of business life, nor for the moral courage with which, at an alarming crisis and the peril of his own fortunes, ho sustained the credit of the State he represented—it is not these services that have called forth these demonstrations of respect. Your quiet village, my friends, has not gone forth in eager througs to meet the successful financier ; those youthful voices have not been attuned to sing the praises of the successful banker. No; it is the fellow-citizen who, from' the arcades of the London Exchange, laid up -treasure in the hearts of his countrymen ; the true patriot who, amid the splendours of the Old World's capital, said in his heart, "If I forget thee, oh ! Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cun ning; if I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth." It is the dutiful and grateful child and benefactor of Old Danvers whom you welcome back to his home. Yes, Sir, and the property you have invested in yonder simple edifice, and in . providing the means of innocent occupation for hours of leisure—of instructing the minds and forming the intellectual character, not, merely of the generation now rising; but of that which shall take their places, when the }leads of these dear children who now grace the table shall be as grey as mine, and of others still more distant, whd shall plant kind flowers on our graves—it is the property you have laid up in this investment which will embalm your name in the blessings of posterity when granite and marble shall crumble to duit. Moth and rust shall not corrupt it ; they might as well corrupt the pare white portals of the heavenly city where " every several gate is one of pearl." Thieves shall not break through and steal it ; they might as easily break through the vaulted sky and steal the brightest star of the firmament. The great sententious poet has eulogised the "Man of Ross"—the man of practi cal, unostentatious benevolence—above all the heroes and statesmen of the Augustan ago of England. Who, he asks, " Who hung with woods the mountain's sultry brow ? From the dry rock who bade the waters flow?? Not to the sky iu useless columns tost, Or in proud falls magnificently lost, But clear and artless, pouring through the plain, Health to the sick and solace to the swain." But your Man of Ross, my friends, has taught a noble. stream to flow through his native village—that bubbling, sparkling, mind-refreshing, soul-cheering stream, which re news while it satisfies the generous thirst for knowledge— that noble unquenchable thirst " which from the soul doth spring"—which gains new eagerness from the draught which allays it, for ever returning, though for ever slaked, to the cool deep fountain of eternal truth. You will re collect, my Danvers friends, the Leith of June, E 52, when you assembled to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the separation of Danvers from the parent stock. Your plea sant village arrayed herself that day in her holiday robes. Herresident citizens, with one accord, took part in the fes tivities. Her children, dispersed through the Caton, re turned that day to the homestead. One long absent was wanting, whom you would gladly have seen am. strg you. But you had not forgotten him, nor he you. He was beyond the sea, absent in body, but present is spirit and kindly re membrance. In reply to your invitation, he returned, as the custom is, a letter of acknowledgment, enclosing a sealed paper, with an endorsement setting forth that it contained Mr. Peabody's sentiment, and was not to be opened till the toasts were proposed at the public dinner. The time arrived, the paper was opened, and it contained the fol lowing sound and sensible sentiment—" Education.—A debt due from the present to future generations." Now we all know that, on an occasion of this kind, a loose slip of paper such as a sentiment is apt to be written on is in danger of being lost—a puff of air is enough to blow it away. Accordingly, just by the way of paper weight— just to keep the sentiment safe on the table, and also to illustrate his view' of this new way of paying old debts, Mr. Peabody laid down $20,000 on the top of his senti ment ; and for the sake of still greater security has since added about as much more. Hence it has come to pass that this excellent sentiment has sunk deep into the minds of our Danvers friends, and has, I suspect, manly contributed to the honours an pleasures•of this day. Bet I have oc cupied, Mr. President, much more than my share of your time—and I will only, on taking my seat, congratulate you on this occasion, as I congratulate our friend and guest at having had it in his power to surround himself with so many smiling faces and warm hearts. ENTERTAINMENT TO _HERBERT INGtiAM, ESQ., Oa Thursday last the iulambitants of Doston gave a banquet to Herbetr Ingram, Faq., the member for the borough. Thu dinner took place in the hall of the Corn Exchange, a handsome and spacious building, entirely roofed with glass, and which on the present occasion was very tastefully decorated. The archway which forms approach to the Corn-Market was verry prettily set off with variegated lamps, and bore the word "Welcome" in dahlias of various hues, the front of the building itself being illuminated by gas in the form of a laurel wreath which nearly covered the facade. The interior of the corn market presented a brilliant appearance, the walls being completely festooned with flowers and evergreens, mid exhibiting the flags of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. Covers were set for 50) guests, although double the number had made ap• plication for iickots. - At four o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. M. Staniland, a gentleman who had twico filled theoffics of mayor in the town. Mr. Ingram, whose appeara.nce in the hall was the signal for general cheering, took his seat oa the right of the chair. Oa the left of the chair was Lord William Lennox, brother to the Duke of Richmond. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of their hon. member and guest, Mr. Herbert Ingram. The toast was received with the utmost applause, and was accompanied by several rounds of cheers. Mr. INGRAM, in returning thanks, expressed his attach. ment to his native town, and said he took that festival as a sign that its inhabitants did not repent of making him their representative. For years the Conservative party in Boston had sent members to Parliament to represent some times the West India, at others, the East India interest, sometimes the banking interest, then again the China trade interest or the landed interest, and sometimes to represent a large landed proprietor desirous of a peerage. These members repres rated their own interests very well in- deed, but not the interests of Boston, or the interests of the country at large. At the last election, however, the constituency determined to &Jed a person to represent their own and the couutry's interest. The example had been followed in Nottingham and several other places, where they had elected men well known to the consti tuency, and not sent by particular parties or interests in Loudon or elsewhere. Mr. Ingram said he felt proud to represent a town which sent out the pilgrim fathers, the founders of a free state, whose inhabitants fought the battle of freedom. He next proceeded to rofer to the last session of Parliament and several subjects discussed therein, justifying his vote on the motion of Mr. Muuta respecting the income tax, as well as that of Mr. Spooner on Meynooth. He was for a reduction of the paper duty, and for a reform of the state of the law. He thought Lord Palmetston's bill on agricultural statistics utterly , I useless, and in its effects quite as likely to mis lead as to inform. He was for a national bank to en courage provident habits, by offering a better security than can be found in savings banks. The bank which he proposed should receive deposit accounts at interest, and also the smallest sums from the poor, who should be en titled to withdraw their money without notice, receiving intereskat the same time; and in order to avoid danger during political excitements, the Government should have the option of giving at the rate of 31 per cent. stock for all sums in the deposit, account. There could be no possible objection to issuing 11. notes. It would save the wear and loss of geld. Sufficient bullion must be, however, always in hand to pay all notes on demand. Not many years would elapse before a Chancellor of the Exchequer would be forced to found a national bank, which has now become an absolute necessity. He was in favour of an immediate extension of the franchise, so as to give votes to persons living in 101. houses, and the joining of the adjacent coun ties to small boroughs, he thought, would prove of great advantage to boroughs of less than 10,003 inhabitants. As for any more extensive reform, no one could hope for it at present. Our fleet and the imperial fleet of Franco were now about sailing for Naples. He wondered if anything would be said about the freedom of the press to the King of Naples. That subject put him in mind of the old say ing, " the pot calling the kettle black." He thought the policy of interference was questionable, unless followed up by strong measures. Mr. Ingram said—Gentlemen, I shall conclude by answering a question is put to me by a friend in this room. He asked me, " What your motive for going into Parliament?" My answer is, that it is a motive to serve my native town and my country. (Cheers.) I leave this legacy to my children—that I served you and the country usefully and faithfully; and I know I shall not go unrewarded in another and brighter world. (The hon. gentleman then resumed his seat amid the most deaf ening and continuous cheering.) Mr. W. D. COOPER proposed "The Members of the House of Commons," coupling with the toast the name of Mr. Oliveira, the member for Pontefract. Mr. OLIVEIRA returned thanks. Mr. P. TUXFORD, of the Mark-lane Express, proposed the next toast, " Prosperity to Agriculture." Lord WM. LENNOX proposed the next toast. "The Press," coupling with it the names of Mr. Herbert Ingram and Mr. Shirley brooks. (Cheers.) Mr. S. BROOKS returned thanks. Mr. INGRAM proposed the last toast of the evening, " The Ladies," to which he would request Mr. Mark Lemon to reply. (Cheers.) Mr. MARE LEsioN —Mr. Chairman, my lord, and gentlemen, I must first be allowed to thank you for the very kind man ner in which you have received the toast with which your worthy representative has dose me the honour to couple my nave. The reception, I am aware, is more attrilatable to your own good feeling than to any merit of mine, or any chin' I may possess to your sympathies. (Clic , . of " No, no.") Tour hon. meinhcr told you. a short time since, and told you truly, that one of the proudest moments of his life was that which decided his election as your representative. What must ire my feelings when I find myself suddenly elected the Sporting Intelligence. BETTING AT MANCHESTER —FRIDAY.
