Law Society's Mill, October, 1854 steam and fore and aft canvas until four o'clock on Saturday morning, when she grounded on the Gray stone rocks, near Penlee Point, and remained there some time, after which she entered Plymouth Sound. The Cossack, which was built for the Russian Govern ment at Northfleet, where she was seized by the Ad miralty, is s aid to answer well both under steam and canvass, but in consequence of the improper construction and fitting of the hawse pipe and scuttles, her lower deck becomes flooded even in smooth water, and the gunroom and officers' cabins are at times untenantable. While at anchor in Prince's Channel she made an inch par hour. The service of the medical officers has been in great request among the crew through sickness. There was no proper dock at Sheerness to receive and iiiamine' the Cossack, and she is now placed in Keyham Dock, at Plymouth. THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THIII EAST. The reinforcements sent out to the army in the East this week,, and to be completed in a week to come, amount to 4,000 men. These are to make up for the casualties of the campaiga, and are calculated to bring up our effective contingent of the army to the original number sent out—namely, 30,000 infantry, with the usual accompanying force of cavalry and artillery, and commissariat, &c. Indeed, to render the army still more effective than usual, large additions have been made to the medical and commissariat, and also the ar tillery,, which even in the field, without including the siege guns, and the guns landed from the ships, is of more han ordinary efficiency and power. Two regiments of the line, the 57th 'and 46th, have by this time joined to make up Sir .L Cathcart's Division to its proper strength in the field. Without being toe much disposed to take a gloomy view of the subject, it is impossible to deny that great rasualties . must have, taken place in an army of little . more than 30,000 from v‘ar and pestilence to re quire to be recruited by 4,000 men to fill up the defi ciencies caused in the ranks. So it is, hpwever. About 1,000 went out in the Queen of the South steamer from Portsmouth on Thursday last, and a similar number proceeded from Cork in the new Cunard steamer Jura, while two other steamers of the largest class are pro vided to bring the rest of the reinforcements to the amount of 2,000 more, These are all provided from the reserves and depots at home, and will all join their re spective corps on their arrival at the seat of war ; but no new divisions will be formed. No new regiments will be sent out. It is found impossible to complete a necessary number of regiments at home up to the war complement in less than 3 months from this time ;' and it is hoped that before spring the whole of the line regiments may be brought up to the increased number voted in last session —namely, 1,400 men for each battalion-1,000 to be ready for foreign service, and the depot to consist of 400. The regiments lately arrived from Canada, to form a large and lasting addition to our available force, are all in fine health and efficiency ; but they muster no more than 500 or 600 men each, and they must be re cruited during the winter to the new war complement, when they will - be ready in the spring, if required, to supply the place, or to increase the numbers, of our Eastern Army. In the meantime the Government is engaged in promoting the efficiency of the army in every possible way. We are happy to state that the bounty for each sol dier enlisting has been raised 21., the bounty for the cavalry being now 61., instead of 41., and that for the infantry 71. 15s. The standard height throughout the whole service all round is reduced by an inch. With these alterations there is little doubt that the entire dumber required will lie forthcoming before the spring emands their services, while at the same time the mi• litia force throughout the whole of the united kingdom will have passed through the requisite amount of drilling and exercise for home service, or for supplying the wants of the regular army. Very large and ample supplies of winter clothing have been forwarded to the army in the Crimea, and an amusing as well as instructive library of new books and newspapers has been despatched to the hospital at Scu tari. Already we are gratified to learn that the condi tion of the sick and wounded at Scutari has materially improved, and many are desirous to join their regiments once more. Accounts from the fleet, too, by the mail which left Balaklava on the 13th, and letters written from several of the ships, all agree in describing the cholera as having almost entirely disappeared from on board the squadron. carrying in the whole, we are informed, 468 guns and 3,937 men. In June and September, 1801, we find him successively joining the Robust, 74, Capt. Wm. Henry Jervis, and Ville de Paris, 110, of which latter ship, bearing the flag in the Channel of the Hon. Win. Corn wallis, he was created a lieutenant, 20th November in the same year. His succeeding appointments were— 6th Nov., 1802 (after six months of half pay), to the Cal cutta, 50, Captain Daniel Weedriff, with whom he vi sited Botany Bay, and circumnavigated the globe ; 6th September, 1804, again to the Ville de Paris, still bear ing the flag of the Hon. Win. Cornwallis ; 12th June, 1806, as senior, to the Kent, 74, Captain Thos. Rogers, with whom, during a servitude of three years and nine months, he was frequently 'employed in the cutting out of convoys in the Mediterranean • in November, 1809, to the Hyperion, 36, C a pt a i n Thomas Charles Brodie, in which ship he proceeded to the West Indies ; 2d March, 1810, to the Sappho, 18, on that station ; and, rBth July following, to the. Polyphemus, 64, as flag lieu tenant at Jamaica, to Vice Admiral Bartholomew Sam. Rowley. On the 24th July, 1811, he was advanced to the command of the Shark, sloop, from which vessel, in the ensuing October; he was transferred to the acting captaincy of the Polyphemus, then bearing the broad pendant of Commodore James Giles . Vashon. Re turning to England in the course of the following month, he was subsequently, en the 7th October, 1813,, and - 7th June, 18-14, appointed to the Adder, 12, and Jaseur, 16, stationed chiefly on the coast of North AmeriCa, where he was made pest, 18th February, 1815, into the Carron, DI He paid that ship off, on her arrival home from the West Indies, in August, 1816, and did not afterwards go afloat. He accepted the retirement Ist October, 1846. • DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL RICHARD '- • ; Vise-Admiral Richard Arthur, C. 8., died on Thurs day last, at his residence, Gascoigne-terraces Plymouth. Admiral Arthur entered the navy in 1788, as captain's servant, on board the PoWerful, 74, Captain Arthur Sutherland, guard-ship at Portsmouth, and during the remainder of the peace served in the Southampton, 32, Captain R. Goodwin Keats ; Valiant, 74, commanded by his Royal Highness.the Duke of Clarence ; and Druid, 32, Captain Jos. Ellison. In 1793 he sailed as midship man of the Heroine, 32, Captain Alan Gardner, and, after assisting at the reduction of Trincomalee and Colombo in 1795-6, was sent in command of three transports laden with stores and provisions for . Rear-Admiral Rainier's squadron at Amboyna, where he joined that officer in his flag-ship, the Suffolk, 74. From March, 1797, until officially promoted, Feb. 28, 1800, Mr. Arthur continued to serve in the East Indies as acting lieutenant en board the Orpheus, 32, Captains Benjamin Wm: Page and Wm. Hills, and Trident, 64, Captains Alexander Mil ner and John Turner. Returning to England, he be came in succession attached, on the Cadiz, Mediterra nean, and Jamaica stations, to the Dreadnought, 98, Captain James Vashon ; Excellent and Triumph, 74's, Captains Frank Sotheron and Sir Robert Barlow ; and Hercule, .74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral James Richard Dacres. On the Ist November, 1805, the subject of this memoir, who had previously borne a useful part in re peated actions with the gun-boats off Cadiz, was pro moted to the rank of commander for his gallant conduct in cutting out, in command of the Hercule's boats, a Spanish schooner from under the batteries of Santa Martha, and capturing four others (one armed) in the Gulf of Maracaibo. Being next appointed, Sept. 25, 1806, to the Vesuvius, bomb, he accompanied Lord Gambier's subsequent expedition to Copenhagen, where he served with the in-shore squadron under Captain P. Puget, on the occasion of its being attacked by the Danish flotilla, and in his general conduct acquired the approbation of his superior officers. On paying off the Vesuvius, in December, 1807, Captain Arthur was em ployed in superintending the discharge of the. Danish line-of-battle-ships at Portsmouth. On the 12th of April s 1801, he joined the Cherokee, brig, of 10 guns and 70 men, which vessel, during the Scheldt expedition of 1809, he commanded as• one of the advanced squa dron above Bach. He subsequently, on the 11th of January, 1810, being off Dieppe, distinguised himself by running in under the batteries and attacking seven lugger privateers, anchored. within 200 yards of the pier -head, one :of which, L'Aimable Nelly, 'of 16 guns and 60 men, he succeded in boarding and bringing out. In• acknowledgement of this dashing exploit he was at once promoted to the post rank, by commission dated back to the day on which it was achieved. From Oct 1, 1812, until Dec. 1, 1815, Cap tain Arthur further commanded in the Andromeda, 24, old Lisbon and in the Mediterranean. He was not, however, again employed until the summer of 1844, when, after 28 years of incessant application, ho was appointed cap tain of the Victory, 104, 'and superintendent of the or dinary at Portsmouth, which situation he resigned on being constituted, Sept. 23, in the same year, captain of the Ocean, 80, and superintendent of the Sheerness dockyard. He was superseded in the latter appointment on advancement to flag rank, Nov. 9,-1846. He was nominated a C.B. July 28, 1838, and from Au g ust 28, 1840, until his last promotion, was in receipt of the cap tain's good•service pension. " Vice-Admiral Arthur was a son ofJohn Arthur, Esq., of Plymouth, and was brother - to' Colonel Sir George Arthur, Bart., K.C.H., for some time Lieut.-Governor of Upper Canada and Van Dieman's Land, and Governor of Bombay. He married in Nov., 1809, Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. W. Wells, rector of East Allingten, Devonshire, by whom be had issue, three sons and one daughter. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, is still lying at the fairway moorings abreast of the dockyard, Sheerness. Her lower deck guns are now all in, making the whole of her metal complete on board. On Saturday, we understand, the crew were turned over from the hulk to live on board. Monday or Tuesday is named for the day they expect she will make a trial trip down the Swin to test her machinery. She has coaled, and taken in her provisions and stores, and has been re painted. She is not yet, however, down to her proper trim, but sufficient to display her fine•proportioned model. The Cumberland was paid off at Chatham on Friday last. The crew have all got leave, we hear, till the Ist of January, pay going on, and to be allowed to volunteer for any ship then in her Majesty's service. We hope the tars will fully appreciate such noble liberality on the part of the Admiralty. The Russell, 74, is in the graving dock at Sheerness. Many artisans are employed converting her into a screw, ready for the spring. The - Hawke, 74, is undergoing the same at Chatham yard, and will be ready at the same time. • The Thetis, 28, is to be rigged by the riggers of the dockyard at Devonport. Her new foremast and new mainmast will be ready on Saturday. The Eurydice, 26, Captain E. Ommanney, sailed yes terday morning from Spithead to reinforce the squadron of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe on the North American station. The hospital-ship Belleisle, 6, Commander James Hoskeu, was paid down at Plymouth on Thursday, when 75 of the crew, fit for active service, were draughted to the Calcutta, 84; the remainder, chiefly pensioners, were put on board the Royal William, 120. The Hamoaze lighter sailed from Plymouth on Friday with stores and a party of riggers, who will examine the moorings of the lazaretto at Liverpool. The troopship Belgravia (No. 105), Captain Wharton, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, and was conveyed into Hamoaze by the Government tug on Saturday. The crew of the flag-ship Impregnable, at Plymouth, have contributed a day's pay each towards the Patriotic Fund. _ _ The Rose of Sharon, Captain Thomsen, arrived at Falmouth on Friday, 114 days from Sydney, with 20 first class passengers and 14, 000 oz. of golddust. The Cuckoo has been taken into dry dock at Sheer ness for repairs. Her crew are to have 14 days' leave. They will be paid to-day. A screw line-of-battle ship, reported to be th• Cressy, brought up below the Nore on Saturday afternoon. The Danish schooner Ellida, taken for breaking the blockade, arrived at Sheerness, in charge of Mr. Curtis, as prizemaster. She left for the West India Docks on Saturday, after sending the master and crew to the Devonshire receiving-ship. The Queen's yacht Fairy was taken into dock at Ports mouth on Saturday to repair a few defects and to be re embellished. THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET. It is rumoured in naval circles that Admiral of the White the Right Hon. Thomas, Earl of Dundenald, G.C.8., will be gazetted to-morrow as Admiral of the Fleet and Vice-Admiral of England. Should this be the case, the following promotions will ensue : Admiral of the Blue Sir Samuel Pym, to be Admiral of the White. Vice Admiral of the Red, John Sykeg, to be Admiral of the Blue. Vice-Admiral the Right Hon. Granville George, Lord Radstock, C. 8., from the White to the Red squadron. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Fleetwood Broughton Reynolds Pellew, C. 8., K.C.H., from the Blue to the White Squadron. Rear-Admiral of the Red William Fitzwilliam Owen, to be Vice-Admiral of the Blue.

Domville, late of her Majesty's ship Resolute, is to be borne on the books of the Fis gard flag-ship at Woolwich, for duty at the Royal Marine Infirmary, vice Jenkins, appointed to the Britannia, 120, flag-ship in the Black Sea. THE ADMIRALTY OFFICIALS AT PORTS. MOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, Saturday.—Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, the senior naval lord, accompanied by Sir Baldwin Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy, and officers of the engineering department, went out again to-day in the Vivid, dispatch-vessel, Master Commander Allen, to witness the working of the Palter, 2, gun-boat, under steam, and to see how she would bear the working of her heavy guns. Her engines gave every satisfaction. Further experiments will he tried before her armament is determined on. We believe, however, that she will carry one 95 cwt. pivot gun for ward. This gun, well worked, will make so small a vessel, with her light draught of water, sufficiently for midable without being overweighted. The Vivid re turned into harbour at three o'clock, the Palter at 4.30. ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTE RLITZ AT THE NORE. Yesterday, at 12.30 p.m. the French screw Auster litz, 100 guns, arrived at the Nore, where she hoisted the blue ensign at the fore, in honour of the country, and fired a salute at 3 p.m. which was immediately answered by her Majesty's ship Waterloo, guard-ship of this har bour. The Hon. Mr. Gordon, admiral of the port, im mediately dispatched her Majesty's ship Fearless to her to communicate what intelligence she brings. The Fear less has just returned, and confirms the report of this splendid screw having been on shore, and throwing all her lower deck guns overboard. She conies in to-day, and is expected will be docked here to undergo repairs and overhaul her bottom. She fired a Royal salute of 21 guns. ACCIDENT TO THE COSSACK. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cossack, 20, Captain Fanshawe, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday morning. She left Sheerness at 3 p.m. on Wedn es d a y, and ancored in Prince's Channel during the night ; sailed therefrom at 5 o'clock on Thursday morning, an d was off Start Point at ten o'clock on Friday evening. Here she encountered a fresh gale from the south-west, and was in considerable danger. She continued under DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL LEITH. We regret to announce the death of Rear• Admiral Leith (1854), who expired at Blackford on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The following narrative of his services is from O'Byrne's book : "John Leith, born at Leith Hall, county Aberdeen, the seat of his father, is second son of the late General Alex. Leith Hay, by Mary, daughter of Charles Forbes, Esq., of Baliogie ; brother of Sir Andrew Leith Hay, Knight, of Rannes arid Leith Hail, a lieutenant-colonel in the army, and M.P. for the Elgin district of burghs ; and nephew of Lieut.-General Sir James Leith, G.C.8., K.T.S., Grand Cordon of the Order of Merit of France, Forces he Gov , e T r h n ii o sn r ot o Barbadoes, officer ecernterWindwarded the landsi Commander-in annadvgywhoun June o . leB C to h .3 lef of 1,6 a, slfiB : lBh6t o c s l fk a N s e s nee v w, ol fwo u lu n ini t e e di e ll a r , , ned o s, n s ewl b ,a o ws a h rd seen t h em ol e oo Lapwing, 38, snelayitcelrlawsaerdd Capt. fsoorfftthhr A the banks three days gs her guns, escape, she f b wr y iags t e h t e eG under u French etrhrei ernee 7 , c4e- that,gs s u i t n y snobf order p t r h d r e o r:t g i o n tl g e a ff Y o e v T c e t r r b u h o i e n a r r a d e n sc d a boats, ee at w s,a k ll ,s h p er ro a ys n i o i h on orssaan n dwater. d In October cables, butotneeh,eraeni the samedallbnt one year he removed with Capt.

Pre viously, however, to that event he had been invested with the command (which he retained until the final expulsion ef the French army under Massena from Por tugal) of the telegraph posts on the lines of Torres Ved ras.

Being paid off on his return home with the Duke of Manchester, late governor of Jamaica, in September, 1827, Captain Leith remained on half-pay until appointed February 6, 1837, to the . Seringap a t am , 46, in which frigate he was again ordered to the West Indies, there to take charge of the Barbadoes station. On his passage out he took with him him the Romney, 50, destined to form a depot for liberated negroes at the Havannab, where he succeeded in installing her after, encountering much opposition from the governor. With the exception of a visit to Jamaica, on the occasion of Sir John Strutt Peyton being sent home in 1838, he re mained senior officer at Barbadoes until July, 1841, when he sailed for Halifax to recruit his own health and that of his crew. Before his departure, however, he bad th e sa ti s f action of being presented with an address and a piece of plate by the inhabitants. He invalided at last from Halifax in October, 1841, and has since been on half-pay." DEATH OF REAR -ADMIRAL PATESHALL. Retired Rear-Admiral L. P. Pateshall died at Here ford, on the 18th inst. aged 75. He e n t ere d th e R oya l navy in A ugust, 1795, as first-class volunteer on board the Indefatigable, 46, Captain Sir Edward Pellew, with whom he continued to serve, in the same frigate and in the Impetueux, 78, on the home and Mediterranean stations, until June, 1801, the greater part of the time as midshipman and master's mate. In the former ship he assisted, in April, 1796, at the capture of a fleet of French merchantmen, the destruction of La Volage of 26, and the further capture of L'Unit6 of 38 guns and 255 men, and after a chase of 15 hours and a close ac tion of an hour and 45 minutes, of La Virginie, of 44 guns and 340 men. Ile was also, on the 13tk Jan., 1797, in company with the Amazon, 36, in a very gallant engagement of 10 hours; which terminated in the destruction, with a loss to the Indefatigable of 19 men wounded, of the French 74-gun ship Les Droits de l'Homme. The Impetueux formed part, in June and August, 1800, of the expeditions to Quiberen and Ferrol. At Quiberon, where he was wounded in blowing up a battery, Mr. Pateshall was actively employed with the boats of the squadron, and at Ferrol he landed with the naval brigade. During the term of his at tachment to the Indefatigable and Impetueux he con tributed to the capture and destruction, including the vessels already mentioned, of as many as 20 ships of war THlif CRYSTAL PALACE FETE. The grand military fete given on Saturday "in aid of the several funds for the relief of the sick and wounded and widows and orphans of her Majesty's forces en gaged ie the Russian war," has proved so successful that we believe every one present, although expecting something great, was literally astonished at the splendid event of the day. Long will it be before the quiet neigh bourhood of Sydenham, Norwood, and Annerley forgets the multitude that assembled last Saturday. The doors of the Palace opened at 10 o'clock, and the French Guides, who were the "lions" of the day, and who occupied a conspicuous platform raised in the great transept, played "God save the Queen," accompanied by the palace band. However, the day bad not yet begun, and the visitor who had heard nothing of the fete might have supposed that this was a mere ordinary occasion, had not his attention been arrested by a large trophy erected in the very centre of the building. This was composed of flags, cannon, and other arms from the Tower stores, and bad been designed and executed under the superintendence of Mr. G. Stacey, storekeeper at the Tower. The base consisted of a round platform, with two steps, covered with crimson cloth, on which were placed rows of cannon-balls. Above the base were two brass cannon taken at Bomarsund, and at. opposite angles two mortars. The whole structure, which com prised weapons of all kinds, as well as four complete suits of steel armour, was in three compartments, each smaller than the one below, and terminated in a lofty pole, from which were suspended the flags of France, Turkey, and England, crowned with a wreath of laurel. This trophy was the conspicuous sign of the day ; but the lounger at 11 o'clock—at which hour lounging was not only practicable but inevitable—might observe another symptom of the fete in the medal-striking estab lishment of Messrs. Pinches and Co. The ordinary function of this firm is to cut, stamp, and finish, before the eyes of admiring spectators, cheap medals, impressed with a likeness of the Crystal Palace. On Saturday the employment was as usual, but the die was changed, so that the medals bore a trophy composed of the flags of the three allied nations. They were largely purchased throughout the day. Somewhere about half-past 11 o'clock a change came over the aspect of the palace. A considerable number of persons had assembled in the centre of the transept im mediately opposite the " Guides," and the fronts of the first galleries in the same region were pretty densely oc cupied. All at once, the " Guides" struck up the " National Anthem." This was the first time it had been heard by anything like a multitude, :lad it was en thusiastically cheered. It was immediately answered by the let Life Guards, who were stationed in the gal lery opposite to the " Guides," and played " Partant pour la Syrie." Hero the enthusiasm was redoubled, for here was the occasion to demonstrate that feeling of fraternity which was the actuating spirit of the day. The " Guides," conspicuous from their scarlet dress and prominent place, were the grand object of attention to all present ; but the Ist Life Guards, who were sta tioned in friendly opposition to them, made so brilliant an appearance as to attract much curiosity. They had placed before them in the gallery the splendid kettle drums of solid silver presented to them by his late Ma jesty William IV., and these, surmounted by the stan dards of the regiment, had almost the effect of a military trophy. From this time till the migration to the terrace took place the various bands who were present on the occa sion, and were stationed in various parts of the building, played in succession. The effect of this arrangement was most singular. Some national air or other, " The British Grenadiers," "Auld ling Syne," and what not, was constantly breaking forth from some new part of the building, as if a musical hint given by the central transept was suddenly taken up by the Gothic screen, and then acted upon by one of the galleries. As the oaks of Dodona were endowed with voice., so it seemed as if every nook of the Crystal Palace was impregnated with music, impatient to break out on every occasion. The following is the official list of the bands and their conductors, as stated in the programme : Imperial Regiment, "Los Guid on"—Conductor, M. Mohr. First Life Guards—Conductor, Mr. 'Waddell. Second Life Guards—Conductor, Mr. Grattan Cooks. Royal Horse Guards—Conductor, Mr. Tuttou. 6th Dragoon Guards (Cara bineers)—Conductor Mr.Cuconi. Grenadier Guards—Conductor, Mr. Schott. Coldstream Guards—Conductor, Mr. Godfrey. Scots Fusilier Guards—Conductor, Mr. Booze. 16th (Royal Irish) Regiment—Conductor, Mr. Kutle. 94th Regiment—Conductor, Mr. Froehnert. Royal Artillery—Conductor, Mr. Sinyth. Royal Sappers and Miners—Conductor, Mr. 'lronic:. Royal Marines (Wool wich)—Conductor, Mr.Winterbottom. At the time while the bands, by their alternate per formances, were most effectively demonstrating their power and their precision, the portion . of the building devoted to refreshments was largely occupied. Th© [PRICE SD. , clock had not yet struck one, but numbers of persons had seated themselves at the small tables, and were de liberately dining off chicken and tongue. This early repast looked more like the fashion of Germany than • that of England, but events proved that the early diners were in the right. To see the " coming" of these events, and the shadows which they cast before, it was necessary to quit the in terior of the palace, and to take one's station either on the terrace or in one of the outside galleries. From such a point of view might be seen, a continuous line of per sona proceeding along the gardens, without interruption, from the railway entrance in the south wing. At the same time the white steam-clouds of . the carriages, as they flitted by in the distance, might be perceived follow ing each other in most rapid succession. So numerous were the trains, that before one human cargo had formed itself into line, it received a. new accession from another that arrived immediately upon it, and thus the proces sion up the gardens and the steps of the , palace was fed with inexhaustible aliment. Gradual indeed was the approach, but when the spectator oil the terrace, who had been looking below, turned round and gazed on the palace, the mass 'of persons who occupied the ex tensive galleries and both the terraces was something amazing. Without a standard of this sort, the ima gination cannot measure the- vast extent of the building. There were the galleries- crammed with human atoms, but they only formed two or three black lines along the broad polished surface, not in the least altering its general aspect. The time now aPproached when the alternate music within the palace was to cease, and the bands' were to play in union on the terrace. The grounds outside of the palace had therefore attracted many from the interior and a traffic commenced for chairs and benches, that the concert might be enjoyed with something like ease. More cautious individuals had - adturscichairs inside, and might be seen working - their way through the 'crowd with the encumbrance of these articles of luxury. Those who were less cautious became the customers of sundry boys who furnished seats at prices ranging from id. to Gd., according to the varying ratios of demand and supply. The time that elapsed before the commencement of the "concert" on the terrace was here and there occupied by conversation between those who had arrived early and those who had arrived late, when the former, who had anticipated the mob, heard strange legends of the difficulties that had attended the approach to the Lon don-bridge station at the hour of noon and thereabouts. Perils to hats, a promiscuous use of carriages, without regard to the relation that nominally exists between price and class, and that peculiar operation of a mob which is described as " lifting eff one's feet," formed the principal themes of divers narratives. - At last the " concert" began. - The united bands were stationed on the lower terrace, surmounted by Mr. Schallehn, the director of the company's band, who stood in the centre, raised half his length above the rest, and conspicuous with his baton. Himmel's air to an English version of Theodore Korner's " Prayer" ( Voter, ich, rule dick) was given with admirable precision, and the voices combined with the multitude of instruments produced a grand effect. A pot-pourri, consisting of divers national airs, of the sort heard over and over again in the earlier part of the day, was played shortly afterwards in the best spirit of military hilarity. Had there been no attempt to explain the order of succession in which the airs were played the enjoyment would have been perfect; but there was a little sprig of rue, in the shape of a programme, which teazed several persons into an attempt to establish a connexion between the list that was presented to their eyes and the sounds which saluted their ears. There was, in fact, no " con cert" in the Hanover-room sense of the word, or any leisure to listen to it, if there had been. The whole thing was a grand, free, unencumbered exhibition of national feeling, to which the military music gave a sort of poetical tone. People were not there to - compare the respective merits of the various bands, and to balance force on one side with precision on the other ; crowding and crowded, pushing and pushed, as they were, hoe could they-de anything of the kind ? But they were there to give veld to an universal feeling, and right heartily they availed themselves of the opportunity, One - curious effect of the performance on the terrace is well worth notice. So sensible was the ♦ibration of th• glass, that every note played by the band was distinctly reverberated, and it seemed as if the band without, was accompanied with miraculous precision by a band within. Some persons, indeed, declared as a matter of fact that the expedient employed on the stage when the prompter represents an echo had been adopted on this occasion, and that there were real substantial musicians playing on real substantial brass inside the palace in response to their brethren out of doors. How ever, on inquiry, we are of opinion that this statement was a mere hypothesis, which prematurely took the form of fact. The most exciting moment of the day was when, shortly before 4 o'clock, the " Guides" returned to their station in the interior of the palace ' and again played " God save the Queen," which was followed by " Par tent pour la Syrie." These airs had been played count less times during the earlier part of the Ate, but now they derived new importance frJin the circumstance that they were executed in the presence of the whole con densed multitude. All the galleries were crammed ; a long perspective of waving hats and handkerchiefs reached into the furthest distance, and thunders of encore pealed through the vast edifice, to be promptly and vigorously answered by the willing band. At that moment the " Guides," not as accomplished military musician , ,, but as Frenchmen, as the representatives of an ally, were objects of actual idolatry to a throng which, for number and distinction combined, was perhaps unparalleled. To give its full valwe to this colossal demonstration, it should be borne in mind that the assembly at the Crystal Palace was a respectable crowd--a crowd without a mob. The prudence of the earlier diners was now made ma nifest. A reasonable hour for dinner had arrived, but comestibles were scarce. Cold roast beef was indeed to be procured, and this is a good national article of con sumption, but then cold roast beef without bread or vegetables is not appetising, and the hungry for the most part looked wistfully at the piles of pickud chicken bones, which stood as monumental records of the pru dence of their predecessors. After the great demonstration of the visitors en masse a gradual departure took place. The subsequent his tory of the day is a history of difficulties in securine• homeward vehicles. There is no occasion to go into the details of these latter events, which, though comprising many interesting episodes of station squabbles, are with out that unity which alone gives a charm to narrative. It is sufficient to say, that those who wall; ed to Aneriey found themselves in a better position than those who sought the " Crystal Palace train," and that on no oc casion during the retreat was a third class man known to avoid a first-class carriage from motives of conscience. Indeed, on the arrival of one of the trains at the ticket station near London-bridge, when the ticket-taker, en tering a first-class carriage, received every form of ticket save that of the first class, and was told that he ought to consider himself lucky to get anything, he seemed to think the remark perfectly natural, aed pocketed his tickets without comment. LORD J. RUSSELL AT BRISTOL. CIVIC BANQUET IN THE MERCHANTS' HALL. The banquet given to the Lord President of the Coun cil by the members of the corporation and the magis tracy of Bristol took place in the Merchants'-hall, in the city, on. Friday evening. The Right Worshipful the Mayor (J. G-. Shaw, Esq.) was in the ch a i r , surroun d e d by his distinguished guests. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, the MAYOR proposed " The Health of their distinguished guest, Lord J. Russell. (Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to respond to the toast, and was received with continued cheering. He said—Mr. Mayor, my lord duke, my lords and gentlemen, I can not but feel that I am very far from deserving the kind compliments which it has pleased the Mayor to pay me in proposing my health. At the same time, lam ex tremely proud that he has done me the honour of invit ing me in the name of your ancient corporation, and in this ancient hall, belonging to, as it does, a society which in former ti mes sent forth from our shores: men of naval eminence to become the discovers of new worlds. (Cheers.) I believe that the spirit of honourable enter prise still continues in Bristol ; for from all that I have learnt of your judicious measures in lessening dues which impeded your trade, and from all that I know of your opening up new sources of commerce, you have shown yourselves to be the enlightened and intelligent successors of that community which, in days gone by, furnished so many men emiueut in the history of our country. I like wise feel p rou d t h at, never having disguised my senti ments on political matters, and having always, I may say, taken decided views according to my own ju ,a dg s: ment—(hear)—and never having concealed those views, I am proud to find that I have not by ho their expression forfeited the good opinion of many w at liberality on the one hand, that this evinces vearytogsraey, also, that use in the sentiments I have formed. (Cheers.) I feel, on your part ;and yea will permit deixffperresfrom a I wrong, you be it shows that, l w ie h v e e th ti e i r at tl h ie ol o d p ing promote the welfare s ho l l d d o a fi re rm ri l g y ht an o d r to people, the greatness and and happiness of the British conscientiously, I desire only iilion them a pros co with me that I should scarcely Gentlemen, you will agree parity of our .. own mnmncoun try. (Cheers.) without alluding to that leading topic of duty of thanking you for your kindness werel s all minds, which keeps us all is the day which engage. dischargeto d il o )y so wi continued and increasing anxiety, and which, I ant con strained to add, while it has brought fresh glory on our arms, has filled many hearts with sorrow and affliction. My lords and gentlemen, those who may have hitherto thought lightly of the calamities of war must now be convinced that we, who have now embarked in it, urged to it by cruel necessity, were not wrong in pausing long —(hear, hear)—in exhausting all the means of preserv ing peace ere we entered upon war. Yet I trust that we shall prove, as we have proved, both as a Government and a nation, that if we have been slow to enter into a quarrel, we .shall yet bear ourselves in that quarrel "that the opposer may beware of us." It is now three-quar ters of a year s i nce we first came into hostility with a power which boasted of an armament of some 600,000 men, and which proclaimed to the allies that in the course of the last winter that 600,000 should be raised ~- r_~ I 4 A. r ze- z to a million with a power which had 2f shlpi of the line in the Baltic, and eighteen in the Black Sea. Well, then, this was a foe worthy to contend against the forces both of England and that ally which has stood by us with the greatest constancy, with whom we have always taken counsel, with whom we have stood side by side in the field 'and in the Cabinet—l allude to the Government of the French empire. Well, my lords and gentlemen, what have we seen with regard to the naval part of our operations ? Having had in former wars to contend with foes who came out to meet us, and endavoured, at all events, to win naval renown from us, we now have an enemy which we have shut up in their ports, and have prevented from pressing us as respects the opera tions of the troops. Among the first considerations which came before us was. how to prevent the march of a great army in the immediate neighbourhood against an enemy despised by the imperial head of the Russian em pire ; despised by its statesmen, and despised by its generals—Turkey. It was said, and it was boasted, that the destruction of the empire of Turkey would be an easy matter, as she would be unable to resist the march of the Russian arms. Now we considered, seeing that at least the power of not being one-fourthasnoteql to that of Russia, her army as great, a nd how anelhe w r e fin m a i n g c h e t s best assistbeifigdis arranged,hr. I e w e consideredV great ability had heard it said . b l y but they could not that we might send our fleets there, that Constantmop e R co ll u ss ld ian no s t ta b t e es s m a e v n ed ot by our fleets ; pu p r u e c v h e n e t o t n h s e i d a e d ra v a t inocne and d the t R e r u m s i s l i v a e n h i c e c e; i m o m n s u . nic W at e io ll n af wftW r h the French Government, we determined upon sending an army—a considerable army—to the East, to protect the threatened power. The question then arose, having determined upon sending an army out, who should we place at its head ? That question, my lords and gentle men, was soon resolved, because there was one man who during the Peninsular war had been constantly at the side of that great warrior, Arthur, Duke of Wellington —(cheers)—who had conducted also the military depart ment of the British service under that illustrious duke, and who had had opportunities of observing in the field the execution of all his plans—(hear, hear)—a general, too, who possessed himself the greatest experience, and who was admired and beloved by the whole British army. I speak now of Lord Fitzroy Somerset (Lord Raglan), a near relation of the noble and gallant duke (the' Duke of Beaufort) who sits near me. (Cheers.) We did not therefore hesitate in our choice, and, gentle men, the results which have followed that choice have more than justified all our expectations. When Lord Raglan placed himself at the head of the British army at Constantinople he immediately sought an interview with Omer Pacha—(cheers)—with that daring and skil ful warrior who so long had kept the foe at bay, and who, not rashly risking his army in the field against the well-organised troops of Russia, thereby gained for his own force considerable advantages. I have said chat Lord Raglan sought an interview with Omer Pacha, for the purpose of deliberating on the plans of the campaign. That interview took place at Varna. It has been stated that Omer Pacha had asked for assist ance from the allied armies to relieve Silistria, and I have seen a statement in the public , papers that it would have been only necessary to hA've sent 10;000 men for that purpose ; but my lords, Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen, men accustomed to military duties, men of great expe rience, caution, and judgment, do not concur in that opinion. (Hear, hear.) Neither Marshal St. Arnaud, Lord Raglan, nor Omer Pacha so judged of the matter. Although Omer Pacha had succeeded in repelling the Russians, and might have succeeded without the pre sence of the allied army, still I believe that Russia would have renewed her aggressive attacks again and again, and might have in the end proved successful, had it net been for the neighbourhood of the English and French armies, which, together with the position which Austria had then assumed, made the case so en tirely hopelesss that the foe was compelled to retire across the Danube. (Cheers.) Here, then, we have the blocking up of the ships of Russia in their ports, and we 'have the failure in their operations of the Rus sian army. (Cheers.) Immediately after the siege of Silistria was raised a new question was opened for consideration, both by the Government at home and the generals engaged in the con d uc t o f t h e war, as to what should bo done on the allures of the Black Sea. The Government thought that the time had now arrived for the invasion of the Crimea and the capture of Sebastopol. The instructions of the Governments both of England and France were received at Varna i s little alter the niiddie of July, and at a council of the generals commending the allied forces the expedition was resolved on. It may seem to' Ile that a long period elapsed before the resolution was carried into operation, but, gentlemen, we do not and we cannot know all the obstacles which bad to be overcome, all the difficulties to be' met and surmounted, all the arrange ments which had to be made fur the movement of such extensive armies, and for taking the steps best calculated to ensure perfect and successful operations. (Hear.) Before any landing of our troops was attempted in the Crimea, Lord Raglan, with General Canrobert and Bur goyne, and two French officers, surveyed the whole of the coast ; and at the place which was selected by Lord Raglan as being (having a regard to every consideration) the most suitable for the purpose, the landing toot place. You all know how successful that landing was, (Cheers.) It was effected without resistance on the part of the . enemy, and without the shedding of blood. (Cheers.) There was time for the two armies to form, and they marched on to the Alma, where they gained a brilliant victory—a victory which shed glory upon the allied arms. But that victory was clouded by the death of the Marshal of France, who showed in the last days of his life a vigour, energy, and readiness, which could not be surpassed by men in the very meridian of existence. We have also had to lament, all of us, high and low, rich and poor, have had to lament the loss of many killed in that great battle, and, what has been quite as fatal and more distressing, many who survived the peril" — Of the battle bad scarcely time to rejoice ere they fell victims to that dreadful disease which has caused so much mourning and 'e o'ation. But, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, we shall ail agree in this, that those who fell with without the opportunity of crossing swords with the enemies of their country—those I rave men who were stricken down by disease, died for their country qeit e as muc h as t h ose who fe ll in the very front of the battle. (Cheers.) Well, my lords and gentlemen,jwhat remains must be decided by the'fate of war. It is not for us to say what the re sult will be ; all we can - venture to say is'this, that we have prepared all the.meais that should ensure success. We have a large and Well-appointed army, a numerous artillery, and vast stores of ammunition. We know that we have allies acting with us in mutual confidence, and we know further, that of the justice of the contest in which we are engaged but one opinion prevails. Lord John Russell then quoted from a speech of Sir John ' Tiollope, a political opponent, t show the unanimity which prevails, and continued. With a very few excel). tions, there does not exist the man who is not convinced that there never was a more righteous cause than that on which we have embarked, and that we should prose cute the war so as to secure a peace that is just and honourable, and based on a lasting foundation. (Cheers.) If such a misfortune should happen as that Russia should triumph, the present war would be followed by one far more dire, and Europe would be brought under the Cossack dominion. The people of England naturally dread the ambition of the ruler of millions .half half barbarous—a ruler who• has proclaimed opinions utterly inconsistent with the independence of any Go vernment. My lords and gentlemen, it is of no use at present speaking of peace till la the course of the war the means shall arise for securing a peace which shall be lasting and secure. However long we may have hesi tated, and however far we may have been anxious to avoid the dreaded evils of war, it is on account of those very evils that we must so prosecute War as to snake it conducive to a peace that shall endure. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, I could not forbear giving utter ance to these sentiments touching a subject on which. we all feel the deepest interest. I can only again ex press my gratitude for the reception you have given me, and I trust that while I hold a place in her Majesty's Government, whatever you may deem to be my errors of judgment, you will yet believe that I am actuated by , a steadfast desire to promote the good name and pre serve the liberties of my country, and to maintain her in the position which she has so long held amongst the nations of Europe. (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst lend cheering.) Several other toasts followed, and the company sopa• rated a little before midnight. " TIMID COUNSELS." TO TnE EDITOR OF TIMES.
