The uproar and confusion, which had commenced with the first speaker at 11 o'clock, and continued without abatement for a single moment, was now such that the town-clerk had difficulty on behalf of the Mayor in call ing for a show of hands. The first show was at 1 o'clock, but his worship was not satisfied, and after taking another show requested the meeting to divide to either side of the room- This caused additional confusion in so crowded a room, and when the next show of bards had boon taken it was so nearly equal that his worship was still undecided. Other shows were called for, and after a whole hour thus waited the Mayor dcc!arcd upon his conscience he did not know whether the amendment or the original motion had the majority of votes. He believed the only course left was to record their names as they left the meeting, but that he was'told was impracticable, and he had no other course bat to dissolve the meeting. (Cheers and groans.) The meeting then separated. In addition to the crowd in the Town-hall great numbers of people were waiting outside, who learned the result cf the proceedings with some astonishment. Mr. Bright proceeded to a separate meeting of his own friends in Newall's-buildings. FIST INDIA lIOI.NE, TIIE i"rnr DrcEmma, 1854.

Oa the son. tence of imprisonment being passed upon her husband, Mrs. Barthelemy became so deeply affected that she almost lost her reason. Mr. Moore, under the circum stances, deemed it advisable to place her out of the way, so that Barthelemy, at the expiration of the term of his sentence, should not be able to find her out. On Barthelemy leaving prison, he made Various inquiries for his wife, and those proving of no avail he gave up his search, and settled himself down as a single man. On several occasions he had been known to make use of violent declarations against Mr. Moore, whom . he believed to be the cause of the absence of his wife. Things went on very quietly until some time ago, when, on receiving the promise of an appointment, he soli cited Mr. Moore to give him a character or recommen dation to the parties who were about to engage him. Mr. Moore, it is understood, refused to accede to Bar- thelemy's request, and ordered him to quit his house Since this occurrence it would appear, from various circumstances, that the murderer had formed a firm and deadly hatred towards his victim.

The meeting had been collet by a requisition to the Mayor, signed by upwards of 600 inhabitants of all political parties. Mr. Bright and his friends attended, and were received by a perfect storm Of cheers, hisses, and g roans . Th e h a ll was crowded to suffocation by upwards o f 1,00) p eo pl e , who clamoured loudly for the meeting t o b e a dj oerne il to the open air. Oa the platform were Mr. Benjamin Nicholls, the Mayor; Sir John Potter, Sir Elkauah Armitage, Messrs. J. Aapinatl Turner, Robert Gladstone, William Entwislo, George Wilson, Henry \ Ashworth, R. H. Greg, William Evans, William Lawson, W. B. Watkins, Longworthy, Robert Barnes, Absalom Watkiu, Alexander Henry, James Heywood, M.l'., W. Bickliam, P. F. Wil lert, Alfred Watkin, W. Rayner WOO,l, Joseph Simpson, and many other merchants and loading inhabits.nti. Mr. R. W. WOOD rose to move the first resolution, and spoke at some length,,but the greater part of his observa tions were entirely inaudible, owing to the clamour which was raised throughout the meeting. He said-the meeting would not hear from him a word of attack upon the hon. member for Manchester or any person whatever. He would treat the question, at all events, in a calm and philosophic spirit, without the slightest mixture of per sonal feeling. When the gentlemen who originated this meeting did him the honour to ask him to propose, this resolution, they made the request, and he complied with it, with the understanding and determination that the question should' not be mixed up with any electioneer ing measures or any party proceedings ; and for himself and for them he entirely disclaimed any intention-of that sort, or he would never have connected himself with these pro ceedings. He should have refused such a connection on the ground that such a course was unjust, for although he dis sented from the sentiments contained in the letter of Mr. Bright as widely as his friend Mr. Watkin or Mr. Entwisle, yet there was nothing in that letter which was not per fectly in accordance with-the opinions, so far as he knew them, which Mr. Bright held when he was elected for Man chester—(hear)—and he for one would never be a party to attacking any man because hehonestly maintained under all circumstances the opinions which he honestly enter tained. The question which the people of Manchester were called upon to decide to-day was simply whether or not they approved the energetic prosecution of the war, which had been shown to be both just and necessary ; and he contended that such an expression of opinion was ren dered imperative by the publication and universal circula tion of the letter of the representative of Manchester. With the view of affording the people of Manchester an opportunity for expressing their opinion this meeting had been called ; and with the same view he now submitted to them the following resolution :-- "That this meeting, having learnt that the letter of John Bright, Esq„ M.P., has been translated and 4rculated in Russia, desires publicly to declare that the citizens of Manchester do not concur in the opinions expressed by Mr. Bright, but, on the contrary, being convinced that the war is just and necessary, do earnestly desire that it may be carried on with the utmost vigour, until it shall be ter minated by a secure and honourable peace." (Loud cheers and groans.) Mr. ABSALOM WATKIN seconded the resolution, but very few words could be distinguished, owing to the inces sant cries of " Outside !" and the usual partisan interrup tions. He said the requisition to the Mayor for the call ing of this meeting had originated with some gentlemen who had hitherto always voted for Mr. Bright, and would vote for him again as member for Manchester, when they had the opportunity. He was bound to say that the gentlemen of the Conservative party with whom ho had been brought in contact on this oc casion had been most anxious that the resolution should assume no party form ; but that a meeting should be called which should enable the people of Manchester to give expression to opinions which, it was believed, were identical with those of the great body of the people of England. The people of Manchester believed that this war was just and necessary, because they saw that Russia was an aggressive Power, and that she had stolen the territory she now occupied from her neighbours. They saw that Russia aimed at enclosing the Mediterranean and the Baltic within her own possessions; and, being a Power that was dangerous to the liberties of Europe, and there fore ought to be diminished, they were of opinion that this war ought to be continued until we' had achieved a sure and honourable peace. w ard to move o ß v . e W an st a sf e si n e d , m a e n n a t, hi n e n rm d a w n a o s f r t e h e e ei c r i e ty d , c wi am th e for e - same deafening noises as the other speakers. In the circle around him only a few broken sentences could be heard, to the effect that whatever their opinions might be on the war, he was sure they would not respect Mr. Bright, if, knowing his opinions on such subjects, they found him swerving from those opinions now. Although he might differ himself from the hon. gentleman in some of his views, he had the highest admiration for his talents and the straightforward honesty which led him to an open avowal of his principles. It was no secret to his constituents that Mr. Bright bad always adVtocated the doctrine of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries. Ho still retained those views. (Hear, hear, cheers, groans, and protracted uproar.) If he had changed the opinions upon which ho first came before the country the constituency would have reason to comiilain, but no one could condemn a man beCe - e - wosa ri not chorine ,)sin. - 1 --- opinions end act against-his cons° once.

Alderman Wat kins)) should vote against the resolution. (Uproar.) As recorded the condsct of th e war , it was i n the hands of the b Government and of Parliament, and, as far as he could judge, it was supported by the majority of the country, and was a popular war • but surely that was no reason why those who thought differently might not express their opinions. He would move as an amendment : " That whereas in the requisition presented to the Mayor requesting him to convene the present public meet ing of the inhabitants of Manchester a letter written by Mr. Bright, our hon. representative in the Commons' House of Parliament, to one of his constituents, is alluded to as the cause of the requisition having been got up, it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr. Bright exercised an undoubted right in expressing his opinions on the subject of the war which unhappily exists between this country and Russia, and, although unhappily those opinions may differ from the views of many of his constituents, it would be unfair, tyrannical, and unjust to censure him even by implication for the honest and manly avowal of his senti ments up on a subje c t so i mportant to all c l asses o f thi s kingdom." Mr. A. HENRY (l a t e M .P. for the county) secon d e d th e amendment. He sa id h is opinions were not i n accor d ance with those of Mr. B r i g h t on the war, but every man had a right to the free a vowa l of his opinions ; and certainly no one who had read th e requisition could dou b t t h a t th e ob ject was rather to d amage Mr. B l i g ht as a politician than to express dissent f rom his views on the war. H e confi dently hoped that the amendment he now seconded would therefore be carried. (Continued confusion.) Mr. W. ENTWISLE, banker, said if he had thought that pur poses, or that the the object of this narrow view of the this question by meeting question wa men of Manchester would beawayed upon any feelings but these of an urgent sense of public duty, he would not have ceasonted to take any part in it. (Cheers I and oans.) t was an extremely sthtmotbheacdonbfironuedghttotphaermtythereto suppose that it was only to oppose Mr. Bright. (Loud, calls for Mr. Bright, met by groans and oppositio n. ) He quite conced e d th e right of Mr. Bright to express his opin ions, but he held the dut y of the meeting t o be widel y different from w h at had been alleged by the mover of the amendment. The question was as to the position of Man chester and England ; and he contended that they would not be doing their duty to the Administration, who were committed to this war, if they did not give them t heir support. The question was, whether England was not pledged to set a limit to the encroachments of a Power which threatened the liberties of Europe—whether it should support the positi on o f the Sultan, who was an old ally, or whether it should allow him to be oppressed by any one who, with fair words and peaceful professions on his lips, but with war in his heart, had made religion a cloak for designs which aimed at despoiling him of his domin ions. If e me eting have true ight into the objects ofth mp the Eeror of would Russia. l et them take the map of Europe, and see the extent to which he has increased his territories within 70 or 80 Years. Let them look at the nature of the proposition of the Czar to this country in 145, for the division of the Sultan's territories. It was sometimes said that we might continue our cotton spin ning in disregard of what was taking place 3,000 miles away, and that it was only the meddling spirit of diplo matists that had committed a peaceful and industrious people like that of England to the losses and hazards of the war. He entirely differed from that opinion. He did not believe that the other nations of Europe would have stood by and suffered the ultimate dismember ment of the Turkish empire, and the only question would have been whether we should be involved in a war with Russia or forced into a still more terrible war with a Power nearer home ? lie would ask what might have been the consequences of our trade and com merce if we had had a rupture with Frans*? (Cheers and groans.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., then came forward to the front of the platform to address the meeting, and was received with a storm of cheering, hooting, groaning, and whistling, -which lasted exactly thirteen minutes before th 6 h on, gentleman attempted to utt er a wor d. Then, finding that there was a party in the meeting sufficiently strong to prevent him from obtaining anything like a full hearing, he addressed himself to the comparatively small number near him, who were endeavouring to listen, a nd was und ers t ood to speak as follows, after a few introd u ctory words w hi c h could not be distinguished :—I shall not occupy more than a very few minutes in saying that on this question of peace and war I claim for myself to have the right freely to express my Views, and if I am unfortunate enough not to coincide with the views of every portion of my constituents, I "regret it extremely, but I shall not fear on this, as on all questions, to avow my opinions. I have on many occasions differed from a portion of my constituents, but I have never flinched from what I believed to be true and right with regard to public affairs, and I shall not flinch from it now. The object of my letter was to assist in bringing about such a temper of the . public mind that the G overnmen t might find no obstacle ; when an opportunity offered, for bringing about a restoration of public tranquillity. I do not regret having written that letter. I am able t o p rove everything that is in it, an d I rejoice at the discussion which it has created, not in Manchester only, but through out the kingdom, and in many parts also of the continent of Europe. Every man who clamours for war makes peace more difficult, and every expression of hostility may lessen the power of the Government, on some future occasion, perhaps, to make peace. My object is to take away from England and from Europe this great calamity of war ; and, whatever may be the result, I shall never shrink from keeping that course which I have taken up to this time. I shall not attempt further to address so tumultuous a meet ing as this, but I have made my appearance here to show my firm conviction that the course I have taken is con about with the true interests of this gouhtry.

MEETING AT TUE LEAGUE ROOMS. Mr. Bright, on leaving the meeting at the Town-hall, proceeded on .foot to the League-rooms, accompanied by a crowd, which groaned and hooted him, some of them even threatening him with their fists, while his friends loudly cheered him. The Council-room of the Leag ue was soon filled with a very numerous assemblage of Mr. Bright's supporters, and a vote of thanks was passed to the gentle men who a moved and seconded the amendment at the Town-hall. Mr. BRIGHT addressed the meeting at considerable length with reference to the proceedings of the day, and the cir cumstances which had led to them, as well as on the policy of this country in the war. He said it would be remem bered that his recent letter on the subject of the war was in reply to one from Mr. Watkins, asking him to attend a meeting to collect sabscriptions for the relief of the widows and orphans of soldiers, at which that gentleman considered it desirable that the representatives of Manches ter should be present, that he (Mr. Bright) should make a speech to explain his views on the war, and that the meet ing should decide whether to petition for peace or go on with the fund and support the war ; he did not see much connexion between the two. Nothing could be more out of place than to make a charge against him because his let. ter was published at St. Petersburg, which would equally have applied if he had made a speech and that had been published in St. Petersburg. Mr. Watkins should not have written him the letter if it was not desired that his sentiments should be made more public than could be avoided. No man in England could have less sympathy than he (Mr. Bright) had with the Russian system of go vernment, and he was one of those who had received with the greatest delight the ex-governor of Hungary when he came to this country, and who was the most wonderful man, probably, that had visited these shores for a long time. He had not merely disliked, but he had an absolute horror of what he considered the unfortunate and wicked step which was taken by the Russian Government in put ting down the attempt of the Hungarian people to gain freedom for themselves, and he had no doubt that a great deal of the present clamour in this country against Russia had been the inevitable consequence of that false step. But should it not rather tend to shake the confidence of the people of this country as to the cause in which they were engaged, when the Czar did not fear to laybefore the people of his capital a translation of a statement of facts such as his (Mr. Bright's) letter ? He hoped the people of Russia would learn from it that there was a country—unfortunately, the One with which they were at war—where, however strongly public opinion might ruu in one direction, and although there might be a violent clamour in its favour, yet a man might, in opposition to that clamour, and fearless of the public opinion and of Government alike, publish his own ()pinions to that public and to the world ; and he hoped it might lead the people of Russia to consider whether they might not, with great propriety, endeavour to make their own system of government approximate more nearly to the one which permitted the exercise of such freedom. Were we all to ' shut our mouths when our Government made a grievous mistake in foreign policy, which might lead to consequences that not only ourselves, but our posterity would have to regret ? And was he not to warn his coun trymen when he found them running after something which would turn out to be a " Will-o'-the-whisp " and a delusion ? With regard to the meeting of that morning, he could only say, without wishing to be in the least de gree uncharitable to those who had not been vary charita ble to him, that with the feet that out of the 613 names attached to the requisition for that meeting, not more than 43 of all the 18,000 electors of Manchester could be found who voted for him at the' last election ; it was difficult to believe that personal feeling and party hostility had had nothing to do with it. His opinions on the question now chiefly occupying the attention of the country were well known, and he had stated them fully at a meeting at the Albion Hotel not more than a year ago, as well as in the House of Commons last March, and wh atever might have been there said in reply by the.ll inister who was sup posed to know so much more of foreign affairs than any other, he had ventured upon no answer to his (Mr. Bright's) arguments. The people of this country be lieved that they were engaged in this war with a noble object, but ho believed the sequence would show that the war had no reference to the liberty of Europe or the ad vantage of this country ; and we might form some estimate of its character from the character of those who were en gaged in it as our allies. And it was no easy matter to great eaapire ea it auta proposed to " humbly Russia." If there were such a combination of Govern ments for the purpose of bumbling this country and dis membering our empire would not every man among us, who conceived it possible that ho could handle a musket, rush to resist the invader? But now we were reduced to the necessity of engaging 15,000 German mercenaries—men who had no rn.ro moral pi inciple than to sell themselves to slaughter anybody in any part of the , world ; and he (Mr. Bright) should give his most decided vote against the measure which was now before the Legislature in refe rence to the hiring of foreign troops. In conclusion, Mr. Bright expressed his doubts of the cc,ntinuance in power of a coalition Government which had shown that it had never coalesced 'and contained none of the elements of strength ; but ho was ready to support that or any suc ceeding Government which should avail itself of any honourable opportunity to restore tranquillity to Europe.

Sir,—l send you an anecdote from my Greek journal showing the effect of hot shot even on vessels of slender construction, and consequently the peril that would at tend a protracted naval attack on batteries prepared to lodge that comparatively tenfold destructive missile in the store-rcome, or in the solid scantling of ships of war. _ _ From this practical proof a discerning public can not fail to draw a just inference in regard to the profes sional judgment and judicious forbearance of Sir Chas.

Twenty-three Greek armed vessels, equipped, pro visioned, and paid by the Hellenic committee, together with seven fire-ships, were nearly ready to proceed and attack the Turkish and Egyptian fleet is Navarino, in order to frustrate their intended invasion of the Islands of Hydra and Spezzia, when in an evil hour (as it then appeared) the Greek Government at Egina granted a letter of marque to an influential friend. No sooner had the fierce " sea lions" commanding these national vessels learnt the concession of this seemingly inestimable boon, which (as naval Commander in-Chiefi I had stipulated should not be conferred on any person, than they manned and armed their launches, and without leave asked or given set off for Egina, to intimidate the feeble Government to " do them equal justice ;" the consequence of which was, the weakening of the national armament, so that crews for seven vessels and three fireships could scarcely be collected. Considering what course could be pursued under such untoward circumstances, it occurred that it might be well to follow the advice given in one of the Philippics, which I had read a few days before whilst sitting on a stone (near the ruins of the temple), whereon it is said the banished orator was wont to meditate on the perils of his country. In that oration Demosthenes warned his fellow citiZens not to await the development and then endeavour to counteract the enterprises of the enemy, but promptly to'adopt measures whereby to distract attention and frustrate Lis plans. It was resolved to put this counsel in execution. Therefore, having proceeded, and passed by Navarino out of sight from its heights, and arrived off the Gulf of Lepanto, the steam-vessel Enterprise, the Sauveur `brig of war, and three gun-boats, were sent in (under the com mand of the brave and zealous Captain Hastings) to destroy several small Turkish vessels of war and some transports, all of which were speedily burnt by sparkling white hot shot, corruscant from the furnaces of the boilers. Intelligence of this unexpected attack was quickly conveyed to Navarino. Th Ooman fleet, as was g ot under weigh to e pun tt ish the aggressors, a but cipated, fornienpdasssiinrg Za Edward where d , cadriagt t a h a e l fl a a y g-s , Sir of my g rp Edward, iaalldaingt. Twit at the breach of faith of which the Turks seemed guilty (for they had acquiesced in an armistice a fe w days before), made sail, and singly standing thwart the Turkish line, fired across the headmost vessel. The Ottoman chief, to avoid hostilities with an all powerful maritime nation, retraced his course, impressed with a belief that Sir Edward countenanced an aggres sion of which he was as ignorant as the Greek expedition was of the existence of an armistice. The decisive battle of Navarino followed soon after. Thus, at the expiration of 2,000 years, the counsel of the most celebrated of persecuted patriots (so arrogantly rejected when given) may be said to have achieved the emancipation of his country from a yoke more cruel and degrading than the dreaded sway of the Macedonian Mon arch.

SEAHAM HARD:intl.—The seamen of this port have clubbed together to supply the harbour with a life-boat. They have advanced 10/. from the funds of their associa tion, and subscribed small sums amongst themselves. They have also appealed to the Royal National Institu tion for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck for assistance, and the council have given them a favourable reception. The institution is running short of funds, and is about to provide two boats to southern ports, but Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of life-boats, has written them a very encouraging letter, warmly eulogis ing their spirited attempt to help themselves by putting their own shoulders to' the wheel, and at the same time he pays a flattering compliment to the seamen of Hartle pool, whose boat has merited a reward for saving life twice in a very short time, and the pliant captain has no doubt the tars of Seaham will emulate their example. As one means of raising the wind, the committee of the Seamen's Life-boat Committee have published a poem, placed at their service, entitled the " Beacon ;" and, by way of encouragement to so laudable an enterprise, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have given them a good order for copies, for the service of the eet, to start it with. THE CHIEF END or GIRLS.—Young women generally do much better when set up with men th an when set up in business. The two arrangements are quite di ff erent. If there is one thing more than another that the female institution was cut out and finished for, it is the other half Oa courting match..lnteri c4n paper. Exmouth. 90, screw, Captain lion. F. T. Pelham, is in a forward state at Devonport. The seamen and riggers have discontinued working extra On her. She is in all respects ready to he taken nut for trial so soon as her crew join from ti , e Prince Regent. Calcutta, S 4, Captain James John Stopford, returned to Devonport from Fahm.uth yesterday afternoon, hav ing picked up several good seamen. The Ajax, 60, screw-block ship, Captain Warden, was undocked and hauled into the fitting basin at Ports mouth yesterday. . , , The Penelope, 11, paddle-frigate, Captain Caffin, ar rived at Spithead yesterday from the Baltic, and will go into Portsmouth harbour to refit. The Malacca, 17, steam-sloop, Captain Farquhar, arrived at Devonport on Monday, and saluted the flag of Admiral Sir *William Parker, which was answered by the Impregnable. A very large mail is here waiting for her to take to the Black Sea. The new screw-sloop Ariel, 9, steamed out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday, and made a first trial of her machinery at the mile in Stokes Bay, after which she returned to harbour to complete her outfit far the pendant. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Roderick Dew, steamed out of the factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday morning, and made a trial of her engines at the Measured Mile in Stokes Bay, after which ,she re turned to harbour to have her compasses adjusted. APPOINTMENTS. Master Henry Brehaut (1841) has been appointed to the Ciissar, 91, screw steamship, at Devonport ; Master's Assistant James Peake, to the Esk, 21, screw steam corvette, at Woolwich. His Serene Highness Prince Victor of Holienlohe- Langenburg, of the Powerful, 84, is promoted to the rank of lieutenant. THE ROYAL ALBERT. Letters have been received from the Royal Albert, dated Gibraltar, Dec. 1. One of her crew, writing to his brother, says—" We arrived here at noon to-day, having bad a most delightful passage out. The whole way we might have towed our captain's gig, the water was so perfectly smooth. The engines, without a stop page, worked admirably. I never witnessed such a happy group as our crew and troops-2,400 men ; and from the time we left Portsmouth we have not even had one case of sea sickness ; all hands say it has been her Majesty's own weather. Had it not been for the motion . caus©d by the screw, we should not have known that the Royal Albert was at sea. WEATHER AT SHEERNESS. Shortly after noon yesterday the barometer had fallen to 28.18. At intervals of from 5 to 10 minutes there were terrific squalls of sleet and snow, and it was found necessary throughout the ships in harbour at Sheerness to hoist the foul weather signal, in order t• prevent boats leaping their ships. Many that were on shore were obliged to remain until slack tide, in consequence of the cross sea running on the ebb tide through the harbour. All the steam tenders kept their fires banked up in case of their icing wanted. At 4.45 p.m. it was still blowing heavily from the north-west. FREE CARRIAGE OF PARCELS TO THE CRIMEA. The iron screw steamer Loire will leave Southampton for Balaklava on the 30th December, chartered by Messrs. Crockford and Co. Parcels, &c. (to the extent of 20 tons measurement), addressed to officers or men of the army in the Crimea, will be carried free of charge ; the South-Western Railway Company have also agreed to deliver them free at the Southampton Docks. Per• sons desirous of availing themselves of this opportunity must obtain forms, and leave them, properly filled up at the office, 160, Piccadilly, on or before Friday, tb(l 22d of December, daily, between the hours of ten and three ; and the parcels must be brought to the office on Tuesday, the 26th, and Wednesday, the 27th of Decem ber, between the hours of nine and three. A receipt will be given for each parcel. Each parcel must be packed in a wood case, not exceeding 18 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep. Not more than one parcel will be taken addressed to the sane person. Messrs. Crock ford awl Co. will not hold themselves liable for the contents of the parcels, or insure them from sea &,c., but will undertake to deliver them to some properly appointed authority for distribution upon tho at rival of the steamer at Balaklava. ARRIVAL OF THE TYNEMOUTH AT BALAKLAVA. The Tynemonth steamer has arrived at Balaklava with a load sufficient fer a vtseel of much greater pretensions. Sh 6 conveyed 1,220 soldiers and eight horses, with am munition and camp equipage, tesides towing a brig laden with Turkish stores and having on board 29 men and 27 horses. The Tynemouth brought up his Excel lency Osman Pasha, the Turkish'Commander-in-Chief. A letter written on board the Tynemouth, dated Balaklava, November 27, states that the people were in tolerable spirits, and were looking forward to a decided blow being struck shortly. The rain had made the roads almost impassable for carriages between Balaklava and Sebastopol, but it was supposed that the inconve nience would be felt more by the Russians than by the Allies, as the latter could not have the same facility for obtaining provisions. Osman Pasha sent a letter to Captain Dundas, commander of the Tynemouth, express. in,g his gratitude for the kindness shown to himself and officers during the passage from Stamboul to the Crimea. MILITARY. The 72d Highlanders last week obtained a warrant from the Grand Lodge of Masons in Ireland, and now form Lodge No. 65. RECRUITING IN TIPPERARY.—Fifteen young men were attested in Nenagh, on Thursday last, for the com missariat department in the East. They are to be em ployed as waggon-drivers, and will receive 2s. 6d. a day each, and be attired in military uniform. They leave on Monday for Dublin, en route to their destination. THE ZOUATTES ON BOARD THE ROYAL ALBERT. The Algiers journal, the Akbar, of the 10th inst., has the following : The 14th battalion of Foot Chasseurs and the 11th, 16th, and 25th Regiments of Light Infantry are ordered to the Crimea, and will shortly embark for that destina .ion. They are to be replaced in Algeria by other regi ments from France. The English ship Royal Albert received numerous visitors during the stay before the port of Algiers. Nothing could exceed the atten tion paid to them by the English, who invited them to a collation, at which champagne was served in profusion. The first soldier wearing the uniform of the Zouaves who appeared on the deck of the Royal Albert was the object of a real ova tion. He was actually carried in triumph by the sailors and soldiers. On the other hand, the English officers of the Queen's Guards, of the Scotch regiments, of the Artillery, and the Marines experienced a most cordial reception on the evening of the 4th, from our artillery officers, who were celebrating the fete of their patron, St. Barba. The next morning a numerous body of French officers, with Colonel de Fenelon at their head, accom panied our British guests in their excursion through the city and its neighbourhood. In a wo rd, everybody d id his utmost to render their short stay in our city as agree able Albert."or-Genera l ad interim and athbeleAadsmpoirsaslibvliesi Th tedth e e Royal TROOPS FROM INDIA FOR THE WAR. There seems to be a doubt entertained, and in well informed quarters too (says the Poona Observer, of N ov . 12), as to whether the 78th Highlanders, whose regular tour of service in the East is nearly ended, will form a part of the force which, whether the Shah accepts the protection of the Allies or not, will certainly be sent from India to Persia in March or April next. This gal lant corps, though not so strong in numbers as some of her Majesty's regiments on this establishment, oan bring close upon 800 bayonets into the field. We believe, for our own part, that the 78th Highlanders will form A portion of the Persian field force, and that that fine re• giment, her Ma t j b e ) a , t n y's w 4th Foot, at Delgaum—upwards of 900 strong, we understand —will also be despatched Dtholwranns,(athloenBgti w ith our o theo]d st rongest friends of Europeanthe R R o ya l l C ounty regiment on this establishment. We understand that the force is to be composed entirely of Europeane, to be drawn from this country and Europe and that France will furnish her quota—the whole to consist of 20,000 men. We hear nothing said about artillery,ht be ma d e up but sou l d imagine that, a very strong brigad e mi g ht from the Indian Presidencies. The Bombay Artillery —both horse and foot batteries —has been declared Ly the highest military a uthority (the late Sir Charles Napier) to be quite equal to the Royal Artillery in every respect ; the Bengal Artillery are, we should think, very little, if at all, inferior to either, and we imagine the be- nighted are not behind the sister presidencies, so there can be no difficulty in selecting a strong force of this arm from India. WARM CLOTHING LOST ON BOARD TIM PRINOR.—Yea• terday a return showed that 35,700 woollen socks were lost on board the Prince, 53,000 woollen frocks, 17,000 flanne l drawers, 2,500 wa tch co ats, 16,100 blankets, d 3,100 rugs,
