Already Melbourne can boast of its water,and gaswork . in nu onipalLiesot, Bay,,,and railways, s ays :n w d i r t i h ,ig t e he .y e c l , e u c n tr o ie w te t l r e a g v r e a l ph m , rarea rapidly coursing the country. 0o : landing from a vess e l shillin g fare to the heart of Melbourne, a distance which two years ago was traversed by very uncertain convey. • antes for a eu:n varying from 10e. to 203. The Mel bourne an-I Geelon g Railway will probably open before the end of the year. Teat with Williamstown is in pro gress of making, and for the ext n-ive lines leading to the river Murray districts and goldfields surveys have been made. The great drawback to these undertakings is the want of labour, not of that kind which caused such allow of emigration three and four years since—as c!erks, drapers' e.ssistants, and young., men who have never handled a spade or tool in their lives, but hone and sinew are what is wanted—that cites of labour, indeed, which would derive and produce the greatest benefit by its emigration, and yek of that very kind which is unable to assist itself to it, how can a farm labourer or'navvy, let his wages be taken at their highest, pay his passage to the Antipodes? it is often that be can barely find food for his wife and children. The country is taxed by-poor rates to find bread for those who cannot find it for themselvee. When I left the colony of Victoria in June the com monest labour was receiving his 12s. per day of eight hours' work, this limit having been recently fixed as a ; day's labour; other and more skilled labour in propor- ' Lion, and many works were suspend( d, owing not so mu c h to the dearness of labour as its scarcity. It may be urged that the expenses of living, See., are proportionate ; this, however, is not so. In Meths:beano a labourer need never be idle. Meat is cheaper than ire England, potatoes the 'same, bread a trifle dearer, and a cot, ageo have , such )ve in as this few country, labourers_ oury ca of the in colbatsasled atfrom especially r refer '7B. to 108. per week. - - • ' Hovv, then, c an thi s supp l y of labour be obtained is a question well worthy the attention of both home and co. lonia+, Governments. Various suggestions present them selves, and in the reduction of the army would it not be a v,oethy reward to the soldiers of our country, now wo require their services as such no longer, to offer them a tree passage to these colonies, • where their presence would be welcomed, and to the industrious an honest in•iependonce secured ? To those parishes heavily taxed for poor-rates the subject is one I should think worth attention, by trying this as a means of relieving their surplus labour, leaving those behind better meaaes of providing for themselves. The present system of emigration carried on by Go vernment is tedious, incomplete, and, instead of facilita tieg the object in view, throws so many impediments in ti le way that I venture to sAy one half of those who al ply fur the forms in Park•street, \Vestrninster, throw op their intentions from the restrictions they are eon- ' fined to, cr inability to comply with the requisite regulations, and hence the c doilies are deprived of what ' they are so urgent for, and our own country remains' burdened with taxation. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• ORSINI IN NEWCASTLE. 1 ; Felice Orsini addressed a large audience at Newcastle •on-Tynedast Monday on the present state of Jtaly. Sir John Fife took the chair. Signor ORSINI drew a moving picture cf the wrongs ;and oppressions of his country under the Austrians, and powerfully swayed the sympathies of his audience. Al luding to himself, he said, with deep earnestness—lt ! makes me shudder to remember what I suffered under ,these circumstances, and to which all are exposed in ;Italy who dare entertain the thought of liberating their 'native land, so cruelly oppressed. It is impossible for you to imagine what I suffered with thousands more in the different prisons from the insects, the scorpions, hunger and thirst; the suffoca'ing heat, and the fevers !produced by the exhalations from the stagnant waters which surround Mantua on every side. Notwithstanding liny strong constitution, notwithstanding the firmness of 'mind that nature had given me, sometimes my reason ,vacillated, and I thought I should have gone mad. It is not seven months since I was a prisoner prostrated by fever and hunter. I hektrd some of my compat ions, who ;were confined in a dungeon next to mine, conveyed. to khe scaffold. What I then soff-n-ed more than 100 of iaur Italian youths are still suffering in that same castle, and many thousand others - throughout the prisons of Italy. That any man issues from such places and such sufferings is amazing; and if he has been able to suffer many years he is no longer,a, Tan as before. As to me, who had the misfortune to be several times imprisoned, Providence has singularly favoured me, in not permitting, the utter ruin of my health, or my strength of mind to abandon me. (Applause.) I had accustomed myself to suffer. Nothing of that kind'is new to me, nor alarms pie, but what I have gone through, and what my une happy fellow-country.men are still going through, I do not forget, and I j ant-prer ready- to _face new trials, so that I can injure the oppressors of my native country. (Immense cheering.). Although lam nothing—a simple individual—yet while God grants me ma intellect .ad physical powers, ever, yes, always, will I work in the fir:n hope of'seeing at least every bloody foot-track of Austria cancelled from the soil of Italy. While I have an Italian heart, while the foreigners are overrunning my native country, while an Austrian troop is landed on the western shore of the Adriatic, I will never lay down my revolutionary attempts or my at ms —never, never, never! (Loud and protracted cheering ) And if, at my latest breath, I can say that with deeds and not words alone I have done something for the land which gave me birth, I shall die contented and happy. (Renewed applause.) What hours I have myself experienced ! At the time of my first examination before the Imperial Court of Justice at Mantua, I k❑ew that I should be irrevocably sentenced to death. Often I thought of it, and looked towards the door by which I should have passed to be hanged ; and although I had some time before me, still, coolly contemplating the fate which awaited me horrified me, although my courage failed not. Although in the field and elsewhere I had seen death near and seemingly inevitable, yet that idea of being hanged on a gallows often overawed me. (Hear, hear.) These are some of the horrors committed by the Austrian and Italian governments—horrors which we cannot escape, because no powerful government will as sist us. I was, it was true, enabled to escape these mi series, but it is perhaps the only example which has ever been known under the Austrians, and I am certainly the crisis roi progress ogr e i has b ss of the panic ee been ins lBrmercantileesg4ulaanrdi regularly 1r 5p 50,r tu.endeimin community uyp of Mel ; drpf oarp ie tr as to scarcely re qu i re comment from me.s- Aft.-r a calamity and amount, the mercantile houses have re covered themselves with an elasticity which must have astonished the world : and, if merchants and shippers will but study no taste ,, , consumption, and absolute requirements of the marker, it will always be one of our best customers. I regret to observe that already there is a disposition to glut the market, which can oely pro duce a sinplar effect to that experienced two years since. A glaace at the circular of Messrs. W. NV. Stables and Co. shows brandy, British spirits, and wrought leather to have been shipped during the last three months to an excess of at least three times the consumption, and I would warn shippers to note and study these facts before they find it come home to them by the results. The riches of Victoria are patent to all ; her wool, tallow, hides, and auriferous productions aro as yet but faintly developed to what they will be ; the firstnamed have steadily increased year by year, and this year we are seeing the great increase in the production of gold broughtabout-by the application of niac:linery and scien tific princples. The new constitution has yet to be tried, and would doubtless bring about contest 4 of conflicting interests, the probable results of which will only, he the further development of the wonderful resources of the country. Sydney, with its beautiful harbour, seems destined to rank second to Melbourne in commercial importance. Its export trade is very extensive with the sister colony, which it rather seems to follow than to lead, for, though far older in history than Melbourne, is being fast super seded by that colony, which seems to possess an energy, and will go ahead unknown in New South Wales. There is doubtless a large and valuable trade between this country and Sydney,' though it is a singular fact that one-third of the exports thence to Sydney find a market ultimately in Melbourne. only one who has ever escaped from the Castle of Klan - tua. (Tremendous cheering.) But what did it require ? The forced dissimulation of an entire year—the greatest abrogation, carried even to the point of stifling every complaint of whatever they did. If I have succeeded I owe it to the assistance of friends, such friends as I never dreamt to find in human form, having had too often and too bitterly to lament the deceptions of false friendship. Now let me speak impartially. Suppose that English men were subjected to the same kind of tyranny as Italy, would they ❑ut revolt ? But with what effect if all Eu rope were leagued against them as they are against Italy ? Even England tnu , st then obey the law of the strongest. God grant this may never be. (A pplause.) Is it not an anomaly that in the civilised Europe of 1856 the most lovely region of the world should be oppressed by such a state of things; that the land of Cosier, of Cato, of Dante, of Michael Angelo, and of Raffaelle, should be cursed by the worst of tyrannies? that priests and cowled monks, whose very footmarks render the earth barren as if salt had been strewn over it, should trample upon the soil of the arts? Is it not an absurdity that the man who calls himself by the old Pagan name " Pontifex Maximus" should mix up in mundane matters to the bane of humanity ? that he should issue edicts of proscription and of the galleys, of death or life, to the ruin and misery of thousands of families ? And all this in the name of God, of the people, and of public order ? Shall Europe permit such a monstrous thin g to defile our land for ever ? Liberty to be crushed, humanity to be forgotten, and Christianity to be scandalised and a most dangerous apathy put in its place 1 But the times are approaching in which we shall see Ahe fall of priestly tyranny ; in which the free nations by sacred instinct will aid us, that we may live. The attitude of the ,free add liberallEng- ILh wintldcl-tor titne is neer. I hear the name of Italy mentioned with sympathy from one end of your land to the other, It is a new and cheer• ins fact for Italians. Seas separate us ; our customs and language are different, and our governments have always tried to make the English name hateful in th e land of Dante ; but th e people understand each other ; and the proud British islander, who fearlessly rules the waves ,wherever his ship can fl oa t, b eg i ns t o re fl ect on our country's misery, and his generous heart is moved towards the classic land which gave Columbus to the world. The children of that soil whose heroes iu ancient times were masters of the world, the lords of earth and sea, shall be allowed to work out their great destinies, and shall not for ever be bound by the keys of the Va tican and by all the demptic powers of Europe. Signor Orsini resumed his seat amidst great cheering. Mr. W. Coox, of Gateshead, moved the following re solution, which, being seconded by the Rev. J. PRINGLE!, was carried unanimously:—" That the thanks of this meeting be rendered to Signor Orsini for his able lee ture this evening, and it deplores the evils , which his country suffers from the outrageous tyranny to which it is subjected. Further, that this meeting recognises the right of the Italian people to a national existence, and believes it to be the duty of all nations to aid them in their struggle to ohtain is."

PRIZE ESSAY OA TII E NATIONAL DEBT. The council of the Society of Arts have received the following letter : "To the Chairman of the Council of the Society of Arts.

The council have resolved that the best thanks of the society he conveyed to Mr. Johnson fo r hi s very lib era l offer of a Ariz of 200 guinta , , and that the same be ac cepted on the conditilus stated in Mr. Johnson's letter. Ur. COWEN then moved a vote of thanks to Sir J. Fife for the cordial and hearty warner in which he had taken the oflic:: of chairman ; and the motion havirg been se conded by Mr. THOMAS, was carried by acclamation. Sir JOIIN FIFE replied ; and the meeting separated. The Newcastle Chronicle, from whim we derive the maurials of this short report, says :—" Since his return to En,gia,ncl, Orsini has applied himself to the study of the English language. his lecture on Monday night was read from the inanucript, and this, of course, made It less impressive than an extempore oration would have been ; but the Eligli s h was remar k a bl y goo d, an d Sig norOrsini's pronunciation much more distinct and in- telligible than might have been expected, considering how short a time he has had to become acquainted with our language. The lecture was well understood by all, and went straight to the hearts of those who heard him. The personal appearance of Orsini corresponds well with his mental qualities—a firm, vigorous, well-set frame ; a frank, soldier like bearing ; a determined, yet pleasing countenance, proclaim the man of resolution and action. The audience received him on his first appearance with enthusiastic cheering, and the applause throughout the evening was as hearty as could be wished. BRII7BII BAGGAGE IN MT.PLTERSBURG. Such a turning np of boxes and turning out of their contents, and mixture of their several ties, pell mell, biggledy-piggledy, helter-skelter, jerry-cum tumble, butter upon bacon, topsy-turvy, muck, mess, and muddle, I never saw in my life. There was a villanous douanier, who held a bandbox under one arm, and seemed desirous of emulating the popular hat trick of Herr Dobler ; for he kept up a continual cascade of gloves, collars, eau-de-Cologne bottles, combs, hair brushes, guide books, pincushions, and lace cuffs, till I turned to look for the accomplice who was supplying him with fresh bandboxtr. Now, the Custom-house officers of every nation I have yet travelled through have a different manner of examining your luggage. Your crusty, phlegmatic E#glishman turas over each article separately, but carefully. • Your stupid Belgian rummages your trunk as if he were trying to catch a lizard ; your courteous Frenchman either lightly turns up your fine linen, as though he were making a lobster salad, or, more frequently, if you tell him you have nothing to declare, and are polite to him, just peeps into one corner of your portmanteau, and says, " C'est a.sez." Your sententious C4t4.man ponders deeply over your trunk, pokes his fat forefinger into the bosom of your dress shirts, and motions you to shut it again. But none of these peculiarities had the Russians. They had a w a y o f their own. They twisted, they touted, they turned over, they held writing cases open, bottom upwards, and shook out the manuscript contents like snow flakes. They held up coats and shirts, and examined them like pawnbrokers. They fingered ladies' dresses, like Jew clothesmen. They punched hats, and looked into their linings; passed Cashmere shawls from one to the wher for inspection ; opened letters, and tried to read their contents (upside down) ; drew silk stockings over their arms ; held boots by the toes, and thook then) ; opened bottles, and closed them again with wrong corks ; left the impress of their dirty hands upon clean linen and virgin writing-papers ; crammed ladies' under-garments into gentlemen's carpet-bags, forced a bootjack into the little French actress's reticule, dropped things underfoot, trode on them, tore them, anJ laughed, spilt eau-de-Cologne, greased silk with puma turn, forced hinges, sprained locks, ruined springs, br,ke cigars, rumpled muslin, and raised a cloud of puff-powder and dentifrice. And all this .was done, perhap,4 not wantonly, perhaps only in • ignorant savagery, but with such a reckless want of the com monest care, with such a hideous vacarme of shouting, screaming, trampling, and plunging, that the only light I could view th e scene i n —b es id es th e S c hi n derhanues one —was i n th e i mpro b a bl e even t o f M r . and Mrs. Keeley t rave lli ng th roug h the count r y of the Patago• Diana falling into a gigantic ambuscade, and having, their theatrical wardrobe overhauled by those overgrown savages.—Houselsold Words.

NORTH SHIELDS, Tuesday Night.—ln consequence of the opening of the Tyne Sailors' Home by the Duke of Northumberland the two large seaport towns of Shields kept a general holiday to-day, and about 40,000 persons have been out in the streets to witness the procession formed to meet his grace, and escort him to the opening of that building. The corporations of North and South Shields, at special meetings of their respective councils, had adopted addresses, which the mayors and town clerks were deputed to present ; and to-day about noon an im mense procession, consisting of the mayors and corpora tions of North and South Shields, Newcastle, and Gateshead, the members for the boroughs and county, the Mayor of Sunderland, a great Dumber of the leading shipowners, coalowners, and merchants on the Tyne, and other leading persons connected with the trade of the district, with a large body of seamen and fishermen, Aeaded by bands, banners, &c., marched to the railway station to meet the duke, who reached Shields about half-padt twelve o'clock, in his carriage, accompanied by Sir T. Herbert, M.P, and Mr. Bartleman, the chair man of the committee of the Sailors' Home. His Grace was received ,by the large concourse of people with im mense cheering, and the procession proceeded to the Sailors' Home amid the ringing of the church bells and the firing of cannon from a large fleet of merchant ves sels in the river, which, from an early hour in the morn ing, had been decorated with flags. The Home is situated on the New:quay, and commands a very fine view of Shields harbour. It is admirably located as a home and place of accommodation for seamen, and is a truly noble structure. -It will cost the Duke of Northumberland between 8,0001. and 9,0001., and, as has been before stated in .754 Slot, ie a free gift to itor-port, the merchants, shipowners, and other inhabi tants of the district contributing 3,000/. to its endow ment; thus enabling the managers of the institution to offer better accommodation, at a lower rate, to the sea men than the crimps and publicans who have heretofore taken in sailors to lodge; and in too many instances "done " fpr them, in the miserable low streets of the town, a sort of Tyne Wapping. The basement storey of the building is occupied as a shipping-office, sailors'money order•offtce, and saving-bank, the two latter established by the Board of Trade. There are also in the same range a largekitchen for cooking dinners fur 150 seamen, baths, Auden extensive laundry, fitted up in a superior manner. The other storeys of the building contain large dining rooms, smoking rooms, a long room for meetings, a reading room, a hospital for the sick, a navigation school, a large warehouse for storing seamen's effects, and dor mitories for 150 men. It is fitted up with every regard to the comfort and convenience of the class for whom it is intended, and the establishment is the result of the most comprehensive effort that has yet been under taken in the north-eastern ports to improve the social habits of the seafaring population. But for the munifi cence of the Duke of Northumberland the erection of such a building might not have been accomplished for some yeure to came. Shortly after the procession reached the Home the cor porate bodies and other leading inhabitants met in the Long-room by invitation of the committee, and several addresses were presented to his Grace. The whole of the addresses having been presented, His GRACE advanced to the front of the platform, and was saluted with immense cheering. He said— Gentlemen, when I was invited to take the chair at this meeting I certainly was prepared fur a statement from the executive committee as to the proceedings of the Sailors' Home, and an expression of their satis faction at the happy completion of this part of their labours—(cheers)—but I was not prepared for an ad dress from the Mayor and corporation, nor that from the Mayor and corporation of South Shields, nor for the address I have just received from Cullercoats. I can only say to you, gentlemen, collectively and indivi dually, that I offer to you my most sincere thanks and acknowledgments, not only for the honour conferred upon me, but also for the manner in which your appro val has been expressed. (Cheers.) As to this building and the accommodation which it may afford to seamen, you have an opportunity of examining and judging for yourselves. It appears that it will hold 150 seamen, and, although only 60 cabins are now ready, others may be got ready as required. (Cheers.) I have heard with great eaustaction - the stateincas or sue executive el - inc.: mittee as to the rapid increase in the tonnage registered in the Tyne, amounting to 406,350 tone within the year 1855, being 1-11th of the tonnage of the United Kingdom, and, as expressed by the Mayor of Tyne moutb, nearly equal to half the sailing tonnage of Scotland, and more than the whole of Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It is also a matter of very great surprise that there are 216 steam vessels in the Tyne. In the year 1814 the first steamvessel was built upon the Tyne, and I think upon Ascension day it was launched in honour of the procession of the conservators of the river. We must not forget either the great increase in the foreign trade of this port. In the year 1855 of our staple commodity, coals and coke, there were exported foreign 1,577,975 tow, while in 1840, 15 years before, only one•third of that quantity was ex ported. Besides other advantages there are now between these important towns of North and South Shields three steam ferries, and railway communication was completed in 1839 with Newcastle, and thence to the whole king dom. Gentlemen, I trust that all the improvements of the Tyne will continue— (cheeo —that the improvements which are now taking place at the mouth of the Tyne by the formation of piers, the deepening of the channel of the river, and the proposed docks upon its banks, wild. facilitate and increase material advantages to all. (Loud cheers.) But to revert once more to this institution, and to its intended inmates, I am sorry to say that the sailor, who exhibits his skill, perseverance, and daring on board, and overcomes all the difficulties of the seafaring life, when he comes on shore falls too often into the hands of those who wish him ill. He is careless of his earnings, and to him is not inapplicable that line of Dryden'e,— " Saved from the sea, but shipwrecked on the shore." ,Applause.) It has been wisely determined to establish in connection with this institution a savings-bank, where the seaman may deposit his earnings, and remit them to his family as be thinks fit. There are also schools esta blished under the patronage of the Government, but there is one thing more. While we look after the sailor's comfort, his health, and his pecuniary affairs, let us not forget that which is of more essential importance—his religion and morals. (Applause.) I wish to bring that point particularly under your notice. It is quite certain that we should leave men not only happier, but better than they were before ; for this is'the only principle of doing good. In that, by the blessing of God, we shall suc ceed, as we have in founding this institution. And now I have only to declare that the Sailors' Home is open to the sailors of vessels entering the port of Tyne. (Loud cheers.) The meeting concluded with three times three for the Duke, and one more for the Duchess. The procession then re-formed and proceeded to the Albion Assembly rooms, whore a dinner in honour of the event was given. Precisely at three o'clock his Grace the Duke of Northumberland entered the rooms, where he was greeted by vociferous cheering from the 500 gentlemen who sat down to partake of the repast provided. The rooms were beautifully decorated with evergreens, floral designs, and naval emblems ; at one end was stationed the band of the Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, which at inter vale enlivened the proceedings with numerous martial airs, while the piper attached to Alnwick Castle paraded the apartment and excited a good deal of interest. His Grace presided, su p ported by Mr. Alderman Bartleman, Mr. Robert In g h am, M .P., Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. T. E. Headlam, M.P., Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., and on the left by the Mayor of Tynemouth, Mr. H. G. Liddell, M.P.,. Mr. Hugh Taylor, Sir Walter B. Riddell, Bart., Capt. Hall, of H.M.S. Blenheim . ; and the vice-chairs were occupied by Mr. Alderman Pow, Mr. J. Dryden, and Mr. J. Straker. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of, Mr. Alderman BARTLEMAN rose and expressed regre that the railway arrangements prevented the noble chair. man's further stay among them, and returned thanks on the part of the inhabitants of the town of Shields for the honour they had received by his Grace's visit and for his liberality in corning forward to support an institution litre that they had just oponed for the benefit of the sea men entering the port. He concluded by proposing his grace's health, which was drunk with three times three. The noble CHAIRMAN, in reply, said—Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for the kind reception you have given me here, in this your town, to-day. Indeed, I will not waste words t 3 express to you what I feel ; but it has been a source of great gratification to me to-day to see the way in which all classes have met to show their sympathies with and appreciation of the British sailor, and to support his welfare. (Applause.) For myself, it is enough to say I was born and bred a sailor—(hear)-- and I have but one feeling, and that is in favour of sea men. I have experienced their conduct, .and I know them to be as loyal to their Sovereign as they are de voted to their country; and I owe to them a deep debt of gratitude for their good conduct in every ship I have commanded. Gentlemen, I will not talk about their skill and daring in danger, but I will give you the words of a great man, Lord Collingwood—(laud cheers)—who, after the battle of Trafalgar, said of his seamen, " Every man appeared a hero, on whom the honour of his coun try depended." Gentlemen, it is for these men that we have built the Sailors' Home ; it is these men we wish to encourage, —men who do their duty in every situ. ation in which they are placed. It is their cause I re. commend to you, and with all the advantages we have had to-day in the presence and support of the mayors of the different towns in the neighbourhood, not only those of North and Smith Shields, but also those of distant towns, in this instanci, distance lends enchant ment to the cause, and I believe I leave it in good keep ing. The noble Duke then vacated the chair,• and pro- ceeded to the railway station, on his return to Alnwick Castle, amid immense cheering. Mr. Alderman BARTLEMAN, the chairman of the Sailors' Home Committee, having been called upon to supply the vacant post of .chairman, proposed—" Our foreign Alliances in all Parts of the World," coupling with it the name of the Emperor of the French. The French Consul at Newcastle.:on-Tyne briefly re sponded. Sir W. B. ilmjezrar, proposed "Success to the Sailors' Home." In doing so he alluded - to the present meet ing having assembled under the auspices of the noble founder of the home so successfully and pleasantly in augurated in the morning, under as bright a sun as one could expect at this season of the year. He trusted that not only for years, but for centuries to come, that home might be successful, useful, and prosperous, and that the proceedings of that day might be recollected among the seamen of the borough and port of Shields as a peaceful commemoration of the day celebrated as the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar. No day could have been better selected for opening a home for seamen than the day which was still familiar to the hearts of all of them, and upon which they all looked for a holiday. He could not propose the toast which had been intrusted to him without shortly adverting to the circumstances of its foundation. When the Duke munificently proposed to erect a Sailors' Home upon his grounds a subscription was set on foot, to which he proposed largely to contri bute, and to which subscriptions were solicited from the various merchants in the port. In this way 1,500& was collected.' When that was done the noble Duke said, "I wilt build the home, provided that you. will endow it with the money you have collected." This was done, and the home was built. It next became necessary to provide for the comfortable furnishing of the home. The Duchess of Northumberland subscribed liberally towards this object, and, he believed, another 1,5001. was col lected. His Grace then said, "I will furnish the home if you will add the additional subscriptions to the endow ment fund"—(loud applause)—and then, as if his muni ficence had no limits, he took another step ; when the committee found that in all probability the expenses of providing a superintendent and steward for the home would more than exhaust their means his Grace gene rously undertook, for a time at least, that these officers were to be paid by him. (Hear.) He (the speaker) be lieved their sympathies would assure him he was not wrong, for in proposing the toast he should not have done justice to it if he had not adverted to these circum stances. He concluded by proposing the toast, with thanks to the executive committee, coupling with it the name of the chairman, Alderman Bartlewan. Sir M. W. RIDLEY gave " Her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland," which toast was received with all the honours. Tbe‘CHAIRMAN gave " The Mayors and Corporations of the neighbouring boroughs, which was responded to by Mr. Stainton, mayor of South Shields. The Hon. H. G. LIDDELL, M.P., proposed "the trade and port of Tyne, especialiy the shipping and seamen connected therewith." He said he was born and bred upon the Tyne, and could,sa,p-with tritti.that- ea long.as , the great interests which were confided to his. charge were continued be woula watete with fatherly affectib - a over the interests of the port of Tyne. He could dilat upon this subject, for it was a fruitful theme, bat if that great assembly wanted proof of the importance of the Tyne he could refer them to the different import and ex port lists. This had been a very memorable day in the history of Tynemouth. They bad seen an institution erected, supported, and opened under the patronage of that noble duke who had just left the room, and perhaps in his absence he might be allowed to say one word, and add one slight.tribute of praise to his conduct upon this occasion. He might sum up the character of the noble duke in a few words. He was a man who thought little of himself and much of others--(applause),—and he was of opinion that his behaviour that day had shown them that he was ready at all times to sacrifice his own comfort for the welfare of others. The noble duke had presided at the opening of that great work, and the recep tion they had given him must have been very highly grati. fying to him, and he (Mr. Liddell) could only say that he deserved it. (Applause.) These were the actions which ennobled our nobility—(applause)—and these were the ties by which the higher classes of this country had con nected themselves with and endeared themselves to those who belonged to the less favoured classes of our fellow. countrymen. They lived in remarkable times, but if there was one sign of these times which was more gratifying than another it was the growing sympathy which existed between different sections of society. Charity and bene volence, those great ornaments of the human character, had discovered that it was no Langer their duty to con fine themselves merely to the relief of the necessities of society; it was no longer considered enough to pro vide schools for the young, prisons for the criminal, or almshouses for the indigent; they now went a step further, and they opened out, day after day, schools for the old, where they might improve the education they had com menced when young. They built industrial schools, and taught trades by which the young might sustain them selves in after lite. Even the thief had his refuge, and the felon had his home. (Loud cheers.) Now, for those who were more immediately concerned, those who went down o the sea in ships and did business in great waters, this , duke, and those benevolent men who were connected with him, discovering that it was not sufficient to give alms houses and pensions to those who had grown grey in their country's service, had considered their unprotected case when ashore, and built the magnificent house of re• sort which they bad just opened. He had said that this was a pleasing sign of the times, and so long as this sympathy continued to exist among the higher classes they would have union in place of envy, and England would remain, what she had long been, that nation to which ne other country could furnish a parallel. (Loud applause.) The hon. gentleman concluded by proposing the toast, coupling with it the name of Mr. John Dry den. Mr. DRYDEN briefly acknowledged the toast. In the course of his remarks he said,:as a person connected with Northumberland, that every Northumbrian's heart must beat with joy when he knew that the noble institution they had just inaugurated emanated from the noble house of Percy. (Applause.) After they had all passed and gone that noble institution would exist, a monument to the great man who had just left them. He had im mense wealth, and, what was better, he had a heart to dispose of it. If there was one shipowner in that room who had not yet given his mite to he Home, let him do so at once, and he would never rue the day ; and after he had ,ceased his earthly career his children and his children's children might look upon that splendid insti tution and say, "My father, or my father's father, sub scribed to that institution." (Loud cheering.) Mr. JOSEPH STRAKER, a Commissioner of the Tyne, proposed "The' health of Mr. W. Lindsay, M.P. for Tynernouth, and the other members of Parliament pre seat," which having been duly honoured, Mr. LINDSAY responded. After some preliminary re marks upon the duties of a member of Parliament he expressed peculiar pleasure in being present at the meet ing, he being himself a sailor, a shipowner, and the re presentative of a port which he was more proud to repre sent than he would be any other in the country. Iu his position be felt more than ordinary interest in the day's proceedings, hut trained as he had been in the fore castle of a Lliip, and knowing the sailor on the sea and on the shore as he did, one or two remarks which fell tram the noble duke struck to the very bottom of his heart and caused the tears to trickle down his cheeks. It was a worthy rctitark to fall from the head of the old house of Percy—it was a worthy remark to fall from one who had himself commanded a ship and had been First Lord of the Admiralty--" Jack saved from shipwreck at sea, is too often ship wrecked on shore." (Applause.) The Home which he had nobly founded was placed there for the sole object of saving poor Jack on shore—to save him from those dens of vice and iniquity into which he was plunged, robbed, and then turned homeless, penniless, and friend. less upon the streets. But they had now to get their sailors into the Home. There were many who did not de sire that the sailor should take up his abode in such a building. There were lodginghouse keepers and crimps whose interest it was to get a picking out of the pocket of poor, poor Jack, and they persuaded him that he had better remain with them. They would require to work together to maintain the Home, for they could net carry it out unless they got their sailors to patronise it. Mr. Lindsay then urged the necessity of the shipowners pressing the claims of the Home upon the men, and read some conditions drawn up by himself with a view to the benefit of the sailors, telling these that if they showed an interest in Jack Jack would show an interest in them. It had once been said by a diAtinguished " Woe betide the country which forgets its sol diers ;" and he might say "Woe betide England tha day that she forgets her sailors." Loud cheers.) Wbat were we compared to the continent of Europe ? We could not maintain large armies, it was useless to think of it; our power was in the navy. "Britannia needs no bulwarks, No tower along the steep. Her path is on the mountain wave, Her home is on the deep ;" land the day they neglected their maritime interest Eng land would begin to move in a retrogressive character. 'attar.) Uttar.)" was by means Of our Sailors that we were to i • • !maintain our maritime supremacy; it was by their ,means that the flag which bad " braved a thou Sand years the battle and the breeze" should continue to be the har binger of peace and civilisation throughout the world. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mr. INGHAM, M.P., having been loudly called on, also made a fsw remarks in acknowledgment of the toast. Alluding to the purely social and domestic habits of the sailor, as evinced by his staying till destitute at the first house he came to, he expressed a sanguine hope that the honest tar would resort to the Sailors' Home as affording him the least hurtful means of indulging his social dis position, Mr. HEADLAM, M.P., then rose and expressed a hope that all rivalry between the neighbouring towns would speedily be brought to an end. He had recently returned from the continent, and had witnessed . the feelings of admiration, approaching to reverence and worship, with which the Germans looked upon their rivers. They all knew how the classic nations of old taught the worship bf river gods, and though he did not wish to inculcate Paganism, yet he had some feelings of enthusiasm to• wards Old Father Tyne, and they would unite one aed all, from the sea high up to the mountains from which it sprung, in an earnest and fervent wish for the prosperity pf all those who lived upon its banks. (Applause.) The Hon. H. G. LIDDELL also responded to the toast, and after " the vice-presidents," " the guests," and " the ladies" had been duly honoured, the meeting separated. During the afternoon about 100 seamen, many of them old men•of-war's men, were entertained in an ante• room of the Sailors' Home at the expense of his Grace the noble founder of the institution. For the evening a grand display of fireworks was announced, but the pro- gramme was not carried out. Naval and Military intelligence.
