Her Majesty's ship Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, was put out of commission at Portsmouth oa Saturday ; her crew were not paid off, but wer... paid warm and granted six weeks' leave. The crew of the Arrogant, 47, Captain Lyster, were also paid wages on Saturday, and granted leave. The men wbo belonged to the port of Plymouth or its neigh bourhood had a passage given to them in her Majesty's steam-frigate Sampson, 6, Captain Hand. The steam-frigate Dragon, 6, Captain Stewart, went into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday, to commence her refit for the Baltic. _ The steam machinery brought by the Rhadamanthus for the ships fitting out at Portsmouth is now being landed in the steam basin, the factory on the brink of which and all its adjuncts are in full and extra working to meet the demands upon it in the equipment of the fleet. The Perseverance, naval steam-transport, Commander Craig, embarked on Portsmouth on Saturday detach. ments of the 19th, 23 , 1, 31st, 38th, 44th, and 46th Regi ments, and the Ist and 2d Battalions of the Rifle Bri gade, with whom she left yesterday for the Crimea. The Norman, steam-transport, No. 155, Capt. Vallint, arrived at Spithead on Saturday afternoon from the East. Her dates are—Malta, Dec. 19 ; Gibraltar, 24. On en tering the Gut she fell in with her Majesty's ship London, her Majesty's ship Promethus towing her through on her way to England. The Norman spoke, off the Island of Goza, on Dec. 19, the brig Blonde, of Belfast, from Alexandria for Falmouth, 24 days out. She brought no passengers or invalids. Orders have been received at Portsmouth that, on the arrival of the Rodney, 92-gun sailing-ship, at that port from the Mediterranean, she is to be converted with all despatch into a shot and shell depot-ship f or th e B a lti c fleet. Her crew will be paid down and granted leave ; her spars are to be reduced, with the exception of the lower masts and lower yards, which will remain the same ; the rest of her spars will be those of a second class frigate ; the complement of her crew will be reduced from 850 to 650. The London, sister ship, is also to undergo a similar conversion, for the same service, on her arrival at Devonport. The Polyphemus, steam•sloop, Commander Warren, left Spithead yesterday for the Baltic. Another vessel is ordered also to the same waters, in consequence of re ports having been made that the ice is loose enough to admit of partial navigation, so as to admit of trading by the enemy. The crew of the Albion, 90, Captain the Hon. J. R. Drummond, were paid wagea at Plymouth on Saturday, and granted six weeks' leave of absence. In the after noon the paddle-wheel steam-vessel Avon, 3, left with a portion of them for Portsmouth. The crew of the screw steam-sloop Cruiser, 17, Com mander the Hon. G. H. Douglas, will be paid wages at Plymouth this day, and granted three weeks' leave of absence. Notice was posted outside the Devonport dockyard on Saturday for the entry of 100 additional ship wrights. The hired paddle-wheel steam-transport Cambria, No. 101, Mr. A. Brownless master, from the Crimea, ar rived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. Her dates are :—Eupatoria, Dec. Bth ; Balaklava, 10th ; Constan tinople, 21st ; Malta, 26th ; and Gibraltar, Jan. Ist. Passengers :—Lord Napier, Lady Napier, four children, governess, and nurse ; Mrs. Col. Morris, and servant ; Sister Anne, lady nurse ' • Mrs. Grainger, Government nurse ; Capt. Brett and servant, 15th Hussars ; Lieut.- Adjutant North, 3d Light Dragoons, with 16 officers' horses in charge of eight grooms. Dec. 28, at noon, lat. 37.18 N., long. 5'55 E., exchanged signals with the screw steamer Alma, and on Jan. 2, lat. 36.22 N., long. 8.10 W., passed her Majesty's paddle-wheel sloop Vesuvius, Commander E. G. sore, steering north-east. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steam ship Canada, transport No. 213, Capt. Parfitt, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon from the Etude() and Mediterranean, with the following invalids :—From Constantinople —Majors Rickman and Carden, 77th Foot ; Capt. Campbell, Royal Horse Artillery ; Surgeon Moorhead, 7th Foot ; Assistant-Surgeon Fair, Staff ; Mr. Brook, Chief Officer, and 14 seamen of the Brilliant. From Gibraltar—Sergeant Luke, R.A. ; Mr. Batty, Northampton Militia ; Mrs. A. Smith and one child. The Candia left Constantinople Dec. 19th, Malta 23d, and Gibraltar 31st. Her Majesty's eteam-vessel Driver, Captain Gardner, arrived on Saturday morning at Woolwich from Sheer ness, and will be taken into basin to be refitted for sea service. According to the customary regulations, prior to being overhauled, the chief engineer of the dockyard accompanied the vessel on a trial of her machinery down the saver. The Pearl steam-sloop is being provided with her sea stock. The schooner Teazer has arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth, and commenced discharging her cargo of condemned stores from the camp, among which are 3,168 military cloaks and overcoat ,, . A short time back some breech-loading rifles, manu factured at Liege, and captured at Balaklava, were re e3ived at Woolwich. They are unwieldy-looking instru ments of warfare, the length of the barrel being 5 feet. The alvantage, however, which this species of rifle pos sesses is not unimportant—namely, the rapidity with which it is loaded and fired. By reason of the weight and length, a tripod stand is used in firing and adjisting is not greater than the ordi nary Minie rifle. the T he officer commanding the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners at Wool w ich has received instructions to prepare for the tran s fer of head-quarters from Woolwich to Chatham. The removal will take place on Thursday next. Some promotions, consequent on the augmenta giseaptpakoientments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty : —L i e ut. Wm.

" It is our further will arid pleasure that this our Royal warrant shall have a retrospective operation, so as to confer the honorary rank and increased half-pay upon all Quartermasters who, after the completion of the aforesaid periods of service, have retired since the de claration of the present war with Russia. " Given at our Court, at St. James's, this 17th day of December, 1855, in the 19th year of our reign. By her Majesty's command. " PANMURE." Upon an inspection being made of the new quarters at St. Mary's, Brompten, for the offices of the invalid depot, they were found to be so damp (being made of lath and plaster) as to be unfit for present use. VERY DEAR RAILWAY TRAVELLING. -W. Corbet Caidicott, of Milton, near Shipton, was charged before ing-Norton with travelling from n hiPP atrain on the Oxford, Worcester, theaOnx m and Wolverhampton agolitsvoterraAhtaesmscooptf C in Railway without having taken a ticket. From the evidence it appeared that the defen dant rode from Oxford to Handborough in a second class carriage, and then got into a third-class, rode to Ascot, where be alighted and told the station-master that he had come from Charlbury only, which was a distance of n miles, whereas be had travelled 17k. Upon this representation he paid nd. as his fare. He was convicted of the offence, and fined 21., including coats.—Banbury Guardian. The Jowrnal de Constantinople says that the long vexed question of the unity of command has been solved by an agreement that in the coming campaign Marshal Pelissier is to command both the French and English armies, and Admiral Lyons the French and English fleets. GLASGOW, Fridays—This afternoon the freedom of the city of Glasgow was presented to the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine in testimony of the great public services which his lordship had conferred on the country in his capacity of Governor-General of Canada. The presen tation took place in the City-hall, in the presence of 2,500 ladies and gentlemen, comprising the elite,of Glas gow and its neighbourhood. The Earl of Elgin, who was received with enthusiastic demonstrations of applause, was accompanied to the platform by the Lord Provost, magistrates, members of council, Mr. Hestia, M.P. Sir James Anderson, M.P., Sir John Maxwell, of Polloc, &c., &c. The burgess-ticket for Lord Elgin was contained in a large and richlyecbased gold box. The LORD PaovosT, in presenting the box and bur gess-ticket to Lord Elgin, entered into a review of the colonial policy adopted by the noble lord, which he warmly eulogised. He said that its success was com plete is Jamaica, and proceeded to describe Lord Elgin's administration in Canada as productive of most impor tant and beneficial results. The Lord Provost, referring to the war with Russia, said—We are not seeking to in terfere with the internal affairs, or the natural powers of any State ; but we are in arms to declare that the over weening ambition of Russia must cease to weigh as an influence on other countries, to check the advancement of popular rights there, and to paralyse their energies in commerce. I confess I asa beginning to be doubtful if the period of settlement has yet arrived ; but of one thing I am very sure, that the enlightened and recent Governor of the Canadas will be found one of the men who will not counsel the laying down of our arms, unless the treaty of peace will justify.the war—unless securit'a for the future shall become part ani parcel of the pubh law of Europe. (Applause.) The burgess-ticket, having been read by Mr. Turner, one of the town-clerks, was placed in the box and handed to the noble Earl by the Lord Provost. The box, an exceedingly massive one, was prepared by Mr. Muir head, Buchacan-street. It is about eight inches long, six inches broad, and two and a half-inches in depth, of solid silver, richly gilt with gold, and beautifully chased all over in bold relief. Outside the lid there is a finely executed medallion or the arms of the city. Lord ELGIN, on rising to reply, was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. He said,—My Lord Provost, ladies, and gentlemen,—l most unaffectedly regret my inability to express, in language which is at all adequate, my sense of the distinguished honour which you have done me in admitting me to the freedom of the city of Glasgow, and my appreciation of the handsome and flattering, and, I must add, very graceful terms in which such a satisfactory communication bas been made to me by the Lord Provost. (Cheers.) As a Scotchman, I cannot be insensible to the value of the good opinion of the inhabitants and the municipal authorities of a great commercial metropolis of the country ; and knowing, as I do, from long experience how much Canada and how much all the other colonies owe to the enterprise of Glas gow, I cannot but feel that it is a proud distinction — the proudest distinction, perhaps, which I could possibly aspire to find, that the efforts of an individual who had laboured for many years—God knows how assiduously —to promote the interests, develope the resources, and place in a firm and rational position the system of go verument in that important dependency on a great em pire, had been deemed worthy of recognition here. (Loud cheers.) On this very day, nine years ago, I parted from my family—and in somewhat trying circum stances, perhaps—l parted from my family, in order to embark at Liverpool, to undertake the government of British America. It would have been a great relief if, on that occasion, I could have discovered at the close of a vista of nine years the incidents of this day. I had taken my departure from Jamaica a few months before, during the heat of summer, leaving the thermometer some hundreds in the shade, and Heaven known what in the sun—(a laugh)—and on reaching my new destination I found the thermometer some 20 below zero. What new sensations I then felt, after some years broiling in the tropics ! On the morning after my arrival, when preparing to enter the city, a gentleman arrived at the house in a sleigh, and told me that there had been such a storm during the night it was more than probable we should be unable to force through the snow into the town. I always look on this as a happy incident in my career, affording me, as it did, so admirable an opportu nity of testing what is the effect of extreme degrees of temperature on the human constitution. (Laughter.) I was reminded yesterday, on visiting that magnificent vessel, the Persia, built for the Cunard line, that I had had, on the occasion referred to, the somewhat unen viable distinction of making the longest voyage I ever made across the Atlantic in a Cunard vessel. Here, for the first time, I felt the influence of the tutelary genius of Glasgow. I had the fortune to be in a Cly.le-built vessel, so that, although we encountered the most tremendous gales, we arrived at Halifax, with mountains of ice in the forepart of the vessel, and Mr. •Burns told the it is re corded we carried 100 tons of ice into Halifax on our prow. Notwithstanding all this, so smooth and steady was the action, so well founded our vessel in every par ticular, I do not believe a single individual ever felt one moment of anxiety or alarm. These little physical ob stacles were trifling, indeed, when compared with the moral and political difficulties which I had to encounter on assuming the government of British North America. At the time when I was appointed to the office of gover nor, the union between the Canadas—the political con stitution given to Canada at the time of the union—had been in existence somewhat less than eight years. During these eight years no less than four eminent British statesmen had successively held the office of Governor- General of the Canadas, and on the day when I sailed from Liverpool the grave had already closed in upon them all. Foremost in that list was a statesman of large views and strong popular sympathy, whose name is known throughout the length and breadth of British North America, and who, at that critical period in the history of this country, derived strength, and persevered in what I believe to be the path of duty, from the countenance and support of the inhabitants of Glasgow. (Cheers.) I had made the acquaintance of the Cana dian Minister, a worthy gentleman, holding—if I may compare small things with great—an office in Ca nada similar to that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in this country. Where do you think I found him ? I found him walking up and down the streets of London, with 60,000 debentures in his pocket, which he could not get any one to take from him for love or money. He had gone to the capitalists, and when he could not succeed with them ho applied to that old loving lady— mother-country--and said, " Pray, for the sake of the love you bear to your poor paling, not very well behaved Canada, pray indorse these little bills." I believe he had more success in his love address than in his other addresses to the pocket, and the consequence was, so low was our credit, and so reduced were we for want of money, that we were obliged to issue a quantity of five-dollar deben tures, which we forced on wretched office-holders, and obliged them to take these, which they could not ex change without a discount of somewhere from 10 to 20 per cent. If I could have foreseen at that time that the day was coming when, in the presence of the inhabitants of this enlightened commercial community, I should have been able to point to the same discredited Canada securities as having a higher premium in the market than any other American security whatever, and to point to the proceedings of Parliament, showing Canada to be regarded in its constitution as a model dependency— if I could have foreseen the day when I could have pointed to these facts, I should have borne a lighter heart in my bosom when I went shivering through the snow to take up that viceregal sceptre which had proved so heavy in the hands of our ablest men. But, ladies and gentle men, I pass from what is purely personal in this compli ment to matters of higher moment, and I trust I may be permitted to infer, from the notice you are thus pleased to take of humble services rendered in distant colonies, that the affairs and interests of these remote dependen cies are beginning to engage, to a greater extent than heretofore, the attention of the people of this country. It is, gentlemen, a most interesting fact that, while our des potic foe is compelled to double the forces stationed on the remote frontiers of his vast empire, as a protection,both against aggression from without and disorder from with in, our constitutional monarch, strong in the affection of her subjects, is enabled to withdraw from her outlying territories those garrisons retained in time of peace. I know well there are people in this country, perhaps not so many now as many years ago—but I know there are persons in the country who hold the opinion that the colonies are a useless encumbrance ; and I so far agree with these persons, that it is possible so to govern these colonies as to render them an intolerable burden ; but I believe it possible, by the adoption of a wiser policy— by freely and frankly conceding to our fellow-subjects in the colonies those rights and privileges we so dearly prize—by treating their feelings with respect, and their wishes with consideration, so to attach them to the mother-country as to render them a source of strength. Well, I have only to say that during the whole of my public life I have been engaged in various spheres of duty in the humble endeavour to solve this problem and to work out this result. I present myself to the inhabi tants of Glasgow as a practical man. I do not even presume, according to the fashion of the time, to put myself in the professor's chair. I do not ask you to re ceive from me one single rule, or principle, or maxim, upon colonial Government which I have not myself tested, and of which I have not verified the result by experience. Now, gentlemen, speaking in that capacity, and of what I found from my own experience, I make bold to say that a most important, material change has taken place of late years in the principle on which the colonial. Government is conducted. It is a change, not so much in the form of our continental constitution, but in the spirit. I speak more particularly of Canada, not only because I know more of it than of the other colo nies, and have been myself responsible for the changes that have taken place, but also because it is the effect of changes that have taken place in that colony that have wrought an improvement in the system in other colonies. In our relations with the colo nies we, have substituted for a policy of distrust and reserve a policy of confidence. Now, we ma y with great propriety and advantage inquire what the results of this system have been, and whether they are such as to justify us in endeavouring to perpetuate and extend it. Now, I would ask, in the first place, what have the effects of thin system been on the ! moral prosperity of Canada ? Ido not wish to encum ber you with a mass of statistical details, but among writers of all descriptions, political, statistical, and news ! paper correspondents who have treated of the affairs of North America, it would be impossible to find one who, writing before 1850, does not aver that the contrast pre sented by Canada on one side, and the United States on the other, is most unfavourable to the former, most dis couraging to those who prefer monarchical to republican institutions. Well, since 1850 there is a unanimity al most as remarkable—and the Lord Provost has adverted to that—the other way. It would be impossible to find one, I think, who does not admit that since that period the progress of Canada has been in all respects most satisfactory, equalling, if not surpassing, the most fa voured parts of the Union. No people have been more frank in declaration to this fact than our neighbours in the United States. I need not say to you that there is no subject upon which the people of the United States are more proud than they are in reference to their sys tem of national education, and they certainly lave very good reason to be so, because while we are is thir cove try proclaiming vociferously our zeal for popular educa tion, and proving our sincerity by uniting to overwhelm every specific plan that is produced, there is actually in that country in operation a system that is elevating the intellectual standard of that people to an elevation never before attained by any community. At the meeting of the Education Board in New York, a paper was read, representing the system of education in Canada, as equal to that of Massachusetts or New York, and the President recommended the system adopted at Toronto, Canada West. Ido not think it is undesirable that the population of Scotland should know that there is a country not two weeks sailing from Glasgow, possessing a fertile soil and a genial cli mate—possessing a population very much resembling what you find in any Scottish county, sharing our views and sentiments on all questions, moral, social, political, and, above all, religious, with the means of attaining elementary education, free of cost, and on conditions that can do violence to no principle, on conditions at tainable by every child in the community, and where every child of talent and industry may go to the higher school, where a superior education is given on the same terms, and from the superior school to the University. Now, if any lady or gentleman in this room wants to put the question, if we can get all these advantages by going to Canada, why we cannot get them without going to Canada, I implore that they will not expect me to an swer it. I came here expecting to have an opportunity of debating and discussing great questions of govern ment, but this is so large an assemblage, and especially there are so many of the fair sex present, that I am really ashamed to enter on such topics. The last occasion on which I made a similar appearance was certainly not in a city so large as Glasgow, nor among a community so influential, but in a city which is the capital of a State in which a very great moral and social experiment is being made, of which the issues are still doubtful, but which no philanthropist can watch without interest, mingled with anxiety and misgiving. In Portland, iu the State of Maine, I had the honour of being received as I am here to-day, and, having been introduced by the mayor to the citizens, the band struck up " God Save the Queen," and both to my surprise and delight the audience stood during the whole time the air was play ing. We had dinner after the meeting, and at that din ner a practice was adopted which I hope will this even ing be honoured in the breach rather than the observance. We had nothing to drink our toasts to but water. Among those sentiments—for they are too wishy-washy to be called toasts—we had " Success to the Allied Armies." I have always considered that the most serious penalty we could pay was any bad feeling in the United States regarding our American colonies, and I made it one of my first duties to endeavour to reduce that risk to the mini mum. Itis fair to say Cuba is very ill governed, and so long as that state of things exists you cannot prevent some of the American people from sympathising with the disaffected. Had we governed Canada as Cuba has been governed, we would have found her a thorn rather than being, as she is, a rose. After the revolutionary war we committed to the Americans, as citizens of the United States, th© same rights of fishing on the coasts of British North America as they had enjoyed previously as subjects of Great Britain. They continued in those rights np to 1812, and then we foolishly went to war. At the close of the war our legal advisers decided that all treaties were abrogated by the war, and that the United States' people mast have a new treaty. We got a new treaty restricting the rights. The American fishermen did not fancy being excluded from the grounds which their ancestors had been admitted to, and went on fishing very much in the way they had done before— not, of course, without a good deal of annoyance and interruption. Weil, when this case came up before the Governments of the colony and of the United States, the latter showed a great deal of ingenuity on the occasion ; they said they did not construe the treaty the same as we did, and there were ingenious arguments on the one side to show that "bays" were bays, and ingenious argu ments on the other side to show that bays were not bays, and the British Government at last resolved to cut the matter short and blow the trumpet of defiance ; and our friends of America issued instructions to the contrary, stating that their interpretation was the correct one. We were just in this position—that a hot-headed captain of an American sloop, with the Presidency in his view, might have plunged us into a war at any moment. In 1854 all the products of the North American colonies were introduced into the markets of the United States free of duty, and on the same terms as similar produc tions of the United States. We may hope that the pros perity of the last few years will proceed at an accelerated ratio in time to conic. I do not think I ought to de tain you longer ; but I believe there is one subject up permost in the thoughts of all men at the present time, and one to which the Lord Provost has adverted. (Hear, hear.) And I cannot but feel that whatever may be the ostensible object of a demonstration of this kind, that any public man who receives at such a moment a mark of consideration from his fellow subjects may be expected—and reasonably expected—to state what his opinions are upon a subject which engrosses the atten tion of the community. My opinions aro very easily stated, and I have no hesitation in stating them. I say that now we are in for this war we must fight it out like men. (Loud cheers.) I do not say, throw away tne scabbard ; in the first place, because I dislike all violent metaphors—(a laugh)—and in the second place, because I think a scabbard a very useful implement, when used at the proper time, and the sooner we can '3150 it the bet tor. But I do say, having drawn your sword, do not sheathe it till the purposes for which it has been drawn are accomplished. (Renewed cheers.) I say, taking the very lowest view of the matter, looking at it simply 115 a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, it appears to me that nothing could be more demonstrably absurd than to leave work of this kind half-finished. (Great cheering.) Igo further. I have no hesitation in say ing—and I am rather glad to have an opportunity of saying, because I have seen unwarranted statements to the effect that I might have a different opinion—l have no hesitation in saying that in my opinion, Lord Palmerston and his Government have, for some time past, been carrying on this war in a manner which en titles them to the favour and support both of those who considered a war a necessity from the commencement, and of others—no doubt a n'inority—who have the opi nion that, whatever the prospect of war may have been at the outset, it was soon made a necessity by the blun ders of one set of diplomatists and by the passions and temper of another. A great deal is now being said about negotiations. I earnestly hope that these negoti ations may turn out to be of some use, but I must con fess that lam not very sanguine on that point. I think myself—though I should be sorry to say anything to give offence to persons in authority—that since this business began, next to the successes of our arms, what we have had most reason to be thankful to Providence for is the failures of our diplomatists. (Hear, hear.) What would have been our position now, if we had succeeded in inducing Turkey to accept the proposals which we made to her in the famous Note of Vienna, and if, after it had been too late to mend the matter, we had found that, in point of fact, we had secured for Russia every single thing which Prince Menschikoff in tended to obtain, the eagle of France, the lion of Great Britain, and the wild beasts of the other country crouch ing at her feet, as sentinels, to guard what she secured'? Or what would have been our position if, under the in fluence of some judicial blindness, Russia had not refused the proposals made the year following at Vienna, and if we had got from her any paper arrangement such as was suggested in these proposals, leaving her the prestige and credit of the defence of Sebastopol ? (Cheers.) But though I have said all this in respect to my views of the necessity of carrying on war till we get a proper peace, I most distinctly declare that I yield to no man, not only in my desire to see peace re-established, but in my abhorrence of the evils —moral, social, and poli tical--that a state of war involves. (Hear, hear.) Per haps I may feel more strongly on this point than others, having had such opportunities of seeing the noble pur posestdivabty a people of our ed to the utmost, be i t s u c r u n l e own race, w w h h i which o p veal intelligence and who have the entire power of regulating their own affairs. I have seen in those countries triumphs of peace, not only more beneficent, but as startling to the imagination as the triumphs of war. I 'have seen the triumph of what has been poetically and beautifully styled the warfare with the wilderness—that warfare, permit me to say, whose triumphs are achieved without human suffering or bloodshed, and whose fruits of vic tory are the extension of the range of civilisation, the extension of the area of British influence and authority, and the extension of the market for the produce and manufactures of this country. God grant the time may Boon return when the energies of this country may be directed into these salutary channels. Ido not think I ehould trespass longer on your time. I have ventured to talk upon colonial matters to some extent, because I think it most important that the people of this country should have their attention turned to these questions, in order that they may secure the vantage ground they hrive gained. I do not think these are ques tions which it is safe to leave altogether in the hands of politicians, for the temptation to make the colonies sub servient to party interests at home is too strong to be always successfully resisted. (Hear.) And nothing can keep such a tendency better in check than the know ledge that the people of this country are takieg an in telligent concern in colonial affairs. Though I think we have solved one important question in colonial policy— viz., hovi, WieConcile complete liberty of local govern- went with the exercise of the imperial prerogative, Ide le): not know that that is our last difficulty. It is very possible that great colonies, assuming the whole charge of their own defence, and even coming forward to aid us in war, may not ultimately be satisfied unless they have a voice in the Imperial Government. I do not think it eivisable to treat of such matters as abstract questions, but I believe when it arrives we shall be able to deal with it as satisfactorily as we have dealt with former questions, if we still meet the colonies in the same frank, open manner. What is wanted is this—it is ne' cessary that the people of this country should look on the colonies as part and parcel of themselves, sympathiel in their wishes, and rejoice in their progress. We know that many of the colonies form an admirable investment for our capital, and I am sure if you make an invest ment of your affection upon the colonies, you will find an ample return i n th e i r l gra titude and goodwill. (Cheers. Fcr my own part, lest I should seem to arrogate any merit to myself, or to accept too literally the very fiat. tering remarks of the Lord Provost, I want to say that I take no credit to myself for the progress o Canada during my administration. I was dealing there with a free, intellige n t, l oya l, mora l peop l e, sa d it is to their great and good qualities that all this pro gress and prosperity are owing. (Loud °hears.) If have been in any degree instrumental in placing them in a more favourable position for the exhibition of Weep qualities than what they occupied before ; an d if, s i x " all, I have been able to do anything to avert the risk of what I would consider the greatest of all oalansitiee—o collision between the two grea,tAnglo-Saxon com mun al,* on either side of the Atlantic—l can only be h un rmr grateful to Providence for being permitted to offer tbirt himble mite to the honour and security of my country. (Prolonged applause.) Mr. ALEXANDZR EASTIE, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Provost, magistrates, and oorporatiOn of the city of Glasgow for having presented the treads= of the city to such a worthy nobleman as Lord Klee. In making this proposition, he had to remark that be bad watched Canada during the governorship of the noble lord, and could bear his testimony to the prosperous re• suit of his able and judicious management. (Cheers.) The motion was carried by acclamation ; and his lord ship having acknowledged the compliment, the largo assembly retired. ARRIVAL OF THE INDUS. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Indus, Captain Brookes ' Lieut. Payne, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived at Southampton yesterday with the heavy portion of the India and China mails. Her dates were—Alexandria, Dec. 23 ; Malta, Dec. 27 ; Gibraltar, Dec. 31. Among her passengers were—Mr. and Mrs. Bernard and family; Captain the Hon. G. Keane, R.N. ; Lieut. Urquhart, E.I.C.S. ; Lieut. Highmour. Her cargo consisted of 19 bales of wool, 81 bap of cotton seed, 51 bales of flax, 446 packages of gun, 92 bap of coffee, 61 barrels of mother-of-pearl, 20 packages of elephants' tusks, 71 bales of silk, 125 cases of silk, 60 boxes of oranges, 1 package of roots, 33 samples, 2 groups of specie, 14 packages of sundries. A large amount of grain was being shipped at Alex andria for England and the Continent. From Alex andria to Gibraltar the Indus had light winds and fine weather, and from Cape St. Vincent home she had strong westerly and south-westerly winds. She reports that at Alexandria the steam-ships Lady Jocelyn, Persia, and Scaruander (transports) were em ployed by the French Government, taking in grain for the Crimea. At Malta were the transports Dove, Oneida, Killing worth, Wideawake. On Dec. 29, off Galeta, was the steam-ship transport Jura, steering east ; on the 30tb, off Algiers, was the screw steam-vessel MaAnder, steer ing ea , t. At Gibraltar, on Dec. 31, were the transports Dun. bar, Joseph Shepheard, Eulinei Baocharite, Cambria, ' Clyde steam-vessels. On Dec. 27, at Malta, H.M. ships Hibernia, Algiers, Agamemnon, Leopard, Fire. brand, Diamond, Niger, Himalaya, Urgent, Snake ; and at Gibraltar there were the Prometheus and Vesuvius, the latter was to start for England twelve hours after the Indus. On Dec. 23, there was at Alexandria the Austrian frigate Venue. On Jan. 2, off the Barlays, the Indus passed the Madrid, outward bouad. VARIATIONS OF THE COMPASS. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—Liverpool has hitherto taken a prominent part i❑ the important discussion of the variations of the compass, and a committee, selected from the various scientific and commercial associations of Liverpool, have been for some time laboriously em ployed in prosecuting an inquiry into the causes of, and the best means of correcting, such deviations. To mercantile interests the result of this inquiry will be all important. Dr. Scoresby, whose name has been FO long as-ociated with this department of science, has again ♦isited Liverpool in connection with the sub ject, this time to make preparation for his intended voyage to Australia, undertaken with the view of determining the magnetic Jaws which influence the action of the compass in the southern hemispheres. It has already been announced that the Liverpool and Australian Steam Navigation Company boa spiritedly placed at Dr. Scoresby 's disposal a state room in the new steamship Royal Charter, which is announced to sail for Melbourne. The Shipowners Association of Liverpool have also provided means for his return ; while the Admiralty, with a praiseworthy alacrity, have placed at his service their best instruments, and several valuable charts to aid his observations. On Wednesday last Dr. Scoresby visited the Royal Charter, when the arrangements made to promote the important object of his setlimposed mission met with his entire satisfaction. He expressed himself pleased with the wooden masts, the compass aloft in addition to those on deck, the posi tion of the wheel, &e. The company, at the urgent re quest of Dr. Scoresby, who represented the importance 4 commencing his observations immediately, have or der, d the steam-ship to be again swung, end steps were taken to carry VA., order lute effect by taking the ship into the basin. The state of the tides, however, pre vented the accomplishment of this object, and it is feared the near approach of the day of sailing will prevent its being effected. NE IV COLLIERIES IN SCOTLAND. The formation of the line of railway from Hamilton to Leshinah,igow is already giving occasion to the letting of many new fields of minerals, the sinking new coal pits, and working new Eeams of ironstone. At the Hamilton— and this is already apparent—a new pit has been sunk by Mr. Gray of Coatbridge, on the lands of Dalzel, near tke Roman Camp, close to the new railway bridge over the Clyde. The coal strata here dip to the east and also towards the river. The depth, therefore, of the pit is considerable, fully sixty-seven fathoms- but the bed of coal is a good one, about eight feet thick, six feet of which can be made available. The lifting apparatus, engines, pumps, ventilators, &c., of this colliery are of the best and most approved kind, and being almost alongside of the railway, its produce can be readily transported to market. Between this pit and Dales' village another pit is being sunk by Mr. Thos. King, the enterprising contractor for the bridge over the Clyde and cart of the new railway. Coal is expected at sixty fathoms. Between this pit and Mr. Gray's there is a dyke or break dividing the coal field. Around Larkball new pits are being sunk, and the town of Hamilton is being partially supplied with their coals, a depot for which is expected to be formed near Hamilton, at the Fer niegair etation of the Lesmahagow Railway. This railway terminates at Bankend in Douglas parish, where ironstone is being largely wrought, and a new village is - 1 fast springing into existence. The railway is not ex pected to be open till May, the loss of the service bridge, over the Clyde, the slipping of embankments, and other ' ll ° articles having delayed the completion of the contracts ; besides the main line, there will be several short branches in connection with important collieries and mineral fields. The ultimate extension of the line to Muirkirk,ie talked of, and will complete the chain of connection between the Glasgow and South-Western and Caledo nian Companies. The cuttings near Motherwell are of considerable depth, and involve the erection of several road bridges. The alteration of the line and the erec tion of a now and spacious station here will greatly facilitate the enormous traffic that will converge from all the points of the compass at Motherwell.—Northßriti B4 Daily Mail. EFFECT OF LAND CARRIAGE UPON RUSSIAN TRADE. In the report on the trade of Hull for the year 1855, published under the authority of a commit tee appointed by the Hull Chamber of Commerce and Shipping, We find the following observe- tions : On taking a retrospect for the past year of the trade of this port, which, it is well known, is largely con cerned with the North, of Europe, it does not appear that the business has been so much limited by the war with Russia as might have been reasonably anticipated, although it must be remarked that no port in the king dom has suffered so much from the interruption of busi ness with that country. The principal imports from Russia previous to the war consisted of hemp, flax, iron, tallow, linseed, hides, wool, tar, and deals, with large quantities of wheat and oats, when prices in this eountry were each as to induce a trade in grain. The frontiers of Prussia being open for the transport of goods to and from Russia, it appears that the articles of flax, heap , tallow, and linseed, to some extent, have been able to bear the heavy land carriage charges for shipment from Memel and Konigsberg, so that the importati on of these articles (except linseed) has been kept fully a dequate to the consumption of this district. With a continuanoe of the war there seems no probability of a want being felt for these articles, as with increased experience the arrangements for the land t ra nsport will be m ore ma turely effected ; and this expense of carriage is not so injurious, on the whole, to Russia as Was expected— that on their exports being gr eatly paid by th e en h ance d prices in this country, wh ile their imports, as being much more limited in q uantit Y , obtain the benefit of back carriage, which, being in considerable supply, can be furnished at mach reduced rates. A large portion of this land carriage goes into the h an d s o f th e Russian landowner. The land carriage on hemp, fax, and tal low, from the St. Petersburg district to Memel, is un derstood to be about 1 01. to 121. per ton, while return goods are taken at much lower rates ; thus the lower values bear the heaviest charge. As with the transport of Russian articles over the Prussian frontier, so it has been by the coast of Sweden and the Gulf of Bothnia. Previous and subsequent to the blockade of the FWand ports considerable traffic has taken place between'llliese, two countries, and it is through this channel we have' received the Finland tar ; while considerable imperil( into Russia have thus been effected of colonial and prothicg ran.' 4 rms. 1 EN.,
