z/ -0 S PAPER !: t Volunteer Review' • tr!-f,: t s,f - ,.-/ COL.M'MURDO'S ADVlCEMyoLiivilkEm. On Saturday afternoon, in the presence of sotuo 12,000 to 15,000 spectators, a grand volunteer re view took place on the Manchester race-course, the reviewing officer being Lieut. Col. M'Murdo, C.B, The corps together numbered upwards of 3,000, and they began to arrive on the ground about half-past three o'clock, the first on the ground being that dashing and smart-looking regiment the let Man chester, numbering rank and file 509 men, Other regiments rapidly followed, but it was not fir, til a quarter to five o'clock the last of them, we belicv the Leigh and Atherton, reached the course. This was•three-quarters of a❑ hour behind the time fixed upon, and a quarter of an hour after the reviewing officer bad commenced his labours. This was un fortunate, to say the least; but we presume it could not be helped, owing to the late arrival of the train by which they came at its destination. 1)l AR DOCTOR, what do you advise P I advise Alfred Mellon's Concerts, afterwards to tVANS', Covent-garden. hear some charming singing, order one or their capital chops and magnificent potatoes, and that is the best advice I can give yon. er i l 7 . • .• . • - • / . ~ . , . . # .4..K711E7.91a14111 . , " 144 P- i t" - thro w , , 2 . •. • • • 4 , 1710,, IjINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v.

The Premiums of the l year 1863 reached the sum of Being an advance o f 2311,66840,977 over 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre vious year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was Ditto ditto, 1863 88,966 Showing an Increase in one year of Among the incidents which have tended to the advance ment of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned its action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although only oon•istent with the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti mately proved to be no more than what had been done in 1 or mer times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As•khe largest total of Revenue and the largest ratil of progression have been attained in the present year, so it Happens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted to .£83,515 • of which sum £34,tco only has been appropriated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan e of £49,444 been carried to Reserve.

The progress of the LIFE Life Branch, as shown by the New Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, ahiw clearly the estimation in which the Company is held.

The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outsti ips the ratio of increase indicated by the figures jumt quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise sill presents highly favour able features, and augurs well for t the result to be shown by tae quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is conclud 'cl.

PROSPECTUS. This Company is an extension of the Credit Fencier (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), which were established, the former for financial business in con nection with land, the latter for general financial opera tior s. The unexampled success achieved by those companies, whose reports, just published, show the amount of net pro fits, upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO, to be at the rate of upwards of 191 per cent, per annum, and who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous accession of business of both companies render it absolutely essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the Was of their operations. With this view it has been determined to found the pre sent powerful institution, which will absorb the two com panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, includ ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £lO,OOO, and will also of course assume their engagements, and the Di rectors believe that the increased means the issue of new capital will place in their hands will enable them to effect even greater results than have been already achieved. The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the general public. 10,000 shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) at par, in exchange for the like number of shares, now held by them. 30,000 shares will (at their option) be allotted to the Shareholders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that company), which will be issued as follows, viz, :—Two of such shares at a pre mium of £2 13s. 4d. per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 10,000 shares will be issued to the Shareholders of tha Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange for the like number of shares in that Company now held by them. 30,000 shares will be allotted (at their option) to the Shareholders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as follows, viz , two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s. 4d, per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 20,000 Shares will be issued to the public at a premium of £2 13s. 4d. per share. 100,000 The total premiums on the abovementioned shares will amount to £160,000, which, with the sum of £40,r,00, the amount of the reserve funds of the Credit Foncier (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), will be carried to the reserve fund of the amalgamated Company, which will then amount to £200,000. Tne amount to be called up, viz , £5 per share on the shares issued at a premium, together with the £2 13s. 4d. per share premium thereon, to be paid by the following in stalments : On application, £1 per share to be carried to capital account.

But as all the shares will participate in the next divi dend declared, pro rata. according to the amount paid up, the valuable option has been reserved, enabling all allotteca to pay up the instalments immediately on allotment, or at any time in advance of their being due, up to £5 per share.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE "EXAMINER" ON THE SUPPOSED HOARD ING OF THE PRECIOUS METALS IN INDIA.—We are thoroughly satisfied that the imagined hoarding, burying, and waste in trinkets of the people of India, although a theory as old as the Romans, is no better than hereditary figment. India is not a sink of the precious metals any more than it is a sink of copper, tin, or zinc. It produces itself neither gold nor silver any more than it does these vulgar metals. As their presence is indispensable India must have them, and it gets them from the quarter that can supply them at the cheapest price, This, for the present, happens to be England, although other European nations, and even now and then the Chinese, contribute a minor share. Indeed, India, in regard to the precious metals, is very much in the condition of England herself, for we have no gold of our own production, and very little silver. We import nearly all that we use, and yet we are not a sink of the precious metals, although we ven ture to assert that the waste of them with us is pro portionally far greater thanin India. The Hindus are eminently a frugal, even a parsimonious people, and none know better than they the two sides of a coin. This characteristic of the race extends even to the humblest orders. The value of money among them is high ; they are bankers and money-changers in every village, and they count by scores i n towns and cities ; bills of exchange, also, are of immemorial use among them. In such a stat e of society there is no temptation to hoarding, and we are quite satisfied that very little exists. The only kind of hoarding of the precious metals that we can call to mind is that which has been occasionally practised by some frugal native princes- The King of Oude, for example, had onceta hoard of some millions, and the notorious Kirwi booty, said to amount to £700,000, was once the hoard of a Mahratta prince. But such hoardings were but partial exceptions. Still less temptation must there be to bury treasure; an expedient, indeed, never bad recourse to by any people except during foreign invasions and long civil wars, and from both the larger part of India has been free for from oneshalf to a whole century. Much has been made, and in our opinion very erroneously made, of llindoo ornaments and trinkets, to account for the imagined disappearance of the millions of the pre cious metals yearly brought to India. This refers ehit fly to silver, for in such articles gold is bu' rarely employed even by the very few wealthy. The trinkets consist of bracelets, armlets, necklaces and earrings, and with few exceptions their use is confined to women and children. The Hindus use neither silver forks nor silver spoons, and they waste no silver in plating, for the art is unknown to them. A man or woman of means may some. times have a silver betel or tobacco-box, and the woman now and then a silver skewer for her hair, but that is all. The Hindus wear no watches, unlike the Chinese who do wear them, and always two at a time. A well-to-do English farmer or prosperous artisan will be possessed of more articles of luxury in gold and silver than a whole Hindu village of 1,000 inhabitants, but we do not on that account charge him with wasting the precious metals and diverting them fro m their more important office. Neither ought we to charge the Hindu peasant with wasting them because he decorates his wife and children with armlets, brace lets, and anklets. The chief use to wh i ch the . pre cious metals, but more especially . s pu t in India is as money, as indeed it is i n every civilised country. India from its i m portation h as to supply not only itself, but also the countries in i ts imme diate neighbourhood, for these have no other chan nel by which they can receive t hem, and like it, they produce none themselves. Probably not less than two hundred and fifty milli ons of people, or one.fifth of the computed population of the globe, has thus to be supplied. From the very nature of things this population must a l w ays be supplied with foreign gold and silver. Of late years, but especially since the discovery of the gold of Cali fornia and Australia, the importat i on of the precious metals has greatly increased, arising wholly from the increased prosperity of India. The reader may judge of this increase by the value of our own im ports from that country at two n ot very rem o t e periods. In 1854 the value of our imports was but £13,000,000, and in 1862 they had risen to £39,000,000, or in eight short years had been mul tiplied threefold. In the last-name d year the value of our exports to India was but £17,000,000, and to India. ied or es even adding 50 per cent. to this sum, so as to ap proximate it to the Indian value, the . whole will ind A u N s p try s only amount to £ 25,500,000, making a difference in exceptions, it the value of the imports and exports of. £13,500,000 to be balanced by a payment in spec ie which ace Thereoounts t h f oer moneyth e millionsB not hoardedexport.lor yearl ybu bur ied finds employment in new branches of T P h it e7e n l b ll j ß ect of Lord pended in trinkets, but, with trifling the extension of old ones. on: E e S o r R E N C SPECTATOR'' AZOLRL,' ON TH E 1 is . Palmerston's speech, Sir G . . C. Lewis, was in singu lar contrast to his eulog i st : A man . of less o ffi cial experience than any of his mote . distinguished ee l • leagues, he made far more effective use of the exp. rience of others than ever . great politicians usually make of their own. His was Perh aps one o f t h e very few minds in which the hacknied phrase that Carlyle so loves to ridicule, tha t t " history i s philo sophy teaching by experience, became something like a truth ; or rather, perhaps, to hint philosophy meant the lucidly digested lessons of history. The whole basis of Sir George Lewis's strength, how ever, was intellectual, as the whole basis of Lord Palmerston's strength (except so far as intellect is involved in a clear he ad for busine ss ) i s non-intel lectual, the ease of his manner, the pliancy of his convictions, the strength of his ambition. Sir George Lewis bad Prob ably little or no ambitious impulse to drive him upwards. He had a sort of intellectual contempt for half the questions discussed by politicians and the fuss they created ; and so quiet and assured a conviction upon the other half, that it scarcely seemed worth while to answer the fallacies that were put out against him. He had studied early, too, under one of the greatest of jurists, Mr Austin, and a very able writer who knew him in some ways better than any other of his contemporaries has told us that Sir Georg,. Lewis's politics were throughout penetrated by Mr Austin's teaching forming a code of principles at the very basis of his intellect. Nothing could create a greater contrast between the t wo politicians than thia difference. Lord 1'4;113(143t0 n catches at his " principles" hastily when he wants them; and in tuitively avoidsexpremngany,ln mattersof political moment, as far as it is possible to do s o . What pets tinacity he has, and it i s not small, is the pertinacity of strong predilection, not of strong conviction—of will and preference tempered b y sagacity in judging the public, not of belief. Sir G. Lewis's princi plea were never of the doctr i naire and cast-iron kind, for they were deduced strictly from ex perience by a cautious and sceptical intellect that cared nos thing at all what result he arrived at so long as it was the true one—but when he had r eac hed a con clusion, though be never hesitated to yield practi cally on a point that he did not think of importance, he was p ro b a bly incapable of being even affected intellectually by the dissent of the world. There was a curious contrast of the same kind between the humour, if we may so call it, of the two men. Lord Palmerston's is all social vivacity resting on good spirits, self-possession, and the temperament which conversation or debate excites. He is always best after dinner, or in a cross-fire of warm discus,. sion. Sir George Lewis was probably in some re spects the most apathetic man in the House of Come mons, and was never by any chance warmed by debate. But the cold lucid vigour of his intellect, and the power it gave him in detecting political trifles and recognising .the nonsense that often ac quired a fictitious importance in popular discussion, often lent to his remarks an irony that had a very unique flavour of its own. When as Home Secre tary he used sometimes to explain to the House the utter futility of the arguments that had been used on the side he was compelled by his position to support, and by his scepticism to despise, and then to sit down, saying with a half smile, " for these reasons I shall give my vote in favour of the bill," there:was a sort of grotesque hatred of plausibility, a deter mination to show clearly what he believed to be the reason of the subject as a compensation for vot ing against what he thought the reasonable policy of doing nothing, which was the keenest of satires. Lord Palmerston is always plausible even when he goes ag'ainst the grain. Sir G. Lewis always said what he thought, the exact truth in the plainest way, even if he also said-he was going to vote for error. Thinking as he did purely from history and experience, his creed was always a little cynical- Conservative, —" Don't change, it's bad enough as it is, but all changes almost are for the worse ;''— thinking as Lord Palmerston does on the social impulse of the aristocratic 'society in which he moves—and society believing too complaisantly in itself ever to be cynical at bottom except in very , rare emergencies —his creed is always a little rose water-Conservative—" Don't change, better let him alone." Of course the living state sman h as th e in fluence given by expressing the feeling of the day pleasantly—the dead that given by strengthening it, not altogether pleasantly. Indeed no two statesmen were ever more unlike except in their kindly natures; and even there they were different. Lord Palmerston has the geniality of aristocratic society, which is not always equally genial to men of all origins. He now and then breaks out against manufacturing opponents like Mr Cobden with something of scorn ; he can strike sharply in return for the blow given him by another, as well as smile if it suits him better. Sir G. Lewis scarcely knew the difference between rank and rank in his treatment of men. While he had a certain scorn for popular fallacies, and perhaps in u mild way for the men who bruited them about ; there was in him an immoveable benevolence of feeling steadier than any emotion, and an unaffected recognition of the equality of the same intellect in all ranks, which, had he ever made a government of his own, would have silenced all complaints against the old Whig exclusiveness. In short we doubt if Lord Palmer. ston ever fully knew how completely Sir G. Lewis supplemented all his deficiencies, or whether he used to the full the strength of counsel he had in him. Both of them substantially Liberal Conserve tiv es,Sir G. Lewis was yet absolutely devoid of the conservatism of prejudice which is Lord Palmer ston's. Yet with a far superior intellect to the Premier's, and far greater knowledge, he was so far inferior in vis and in mobility of mind that he need never have endangered his chief's supremacy. The one would have supplied the moving power of am bition, and the social ease, the other the passionless judgment and clear knowledge,—and probably the only thing remaining deficient in the combination would have been political imagination. "THE LONDON REVIEW" ON ABOLITION OF TIIENFILE TOLLS.—One of the conditions of a sound fiscal impost is that all that is taken from the taxlpayer shall find its way into the Treasury, with the smallest possible deduction for cost of collection. Judged by this test, the system of turn pike tolls is inconceivably wasteful and barbarous. There are more than 1,100 turnpike trusts in England and Wales. Each turnpike gate costs about £25 per annum, and there are more than four gates, on an average, to each trust. Thus we have an expenditure of one hundred and ten thou sand pounds upon the mechanical operation of collecting the tolls. To this outlay must be added all the cost of manage ment and the necessary expenses for keeping up the road. Each trust has its staff of paid officers—its clerk, surveyor, and sometimes its paid treasurer. In the Leominst.l trusts it takes one-half of the revenue to pay the expenses and establishment charges, while the repairi, after all, are put upon the parishes. In some other trusts the expenses range from 25 to 40 per cent. of the whole revenue. To the permanent cost of collection and management must lie added the periodical expense of renewing the Acts of Par- been liament. The eleven hundred tru ahl re newed (say) four times within the last century, at a cost of above £2,000,000 sterling. No wonder that the trusts of gates.ll rveteh,tllhae, ted rtf England and Wales, under this thriftless system of adminis tration, have accumulated a heavy load of debt. The Londed debt, which is nominally put at £4,000,000, is, indeed, one that It oNL London ns at the fhoo nor considerable noe i w e rs hydooerar obstacles ukansb bac national it ohwbnet weight ar t lg o oerhao et road to ooc h a ateln b hsv o ye may, no doubt, be said in favour of the turnpike system, use rom of the road. The House of Commons' committee of 1836 at tached turn pike tolls caught the through traffic. The turnpike road but reasonable that the burden of repairing the road should not fall exclitaively upon the intermediate parishes. But the railways now convey all the long traffic. From one part of the country to the other you scarcely meet a single com mercial traveller, a single stage coach, or a stage waggon, upon the turnpike roads. The heavy goods, as well as passengers, go by railway. The traffic being thus local traffic, the toll payers, and those who, as ratepayers, would pay for the roads if tolls were abolished, are now the same class of persons. The time has thus demonstrably come for reconsidering the question of toll gates, and for adopt ing a system of road administration in harmony with the wants and circumstances of the time. The farmers and other ratepayers of the district really pay the tolls at present, but with this difference, that an enormous per-tentage is frit tered away by the cost of gatekeepers, the peculations of collectors, the salaries of paid of f icers, and the multiplicity of . trusts. The vexatious and inconvenient impe d . iments . to traffic interposed by toll gates, espe cially in the neighbourhood of large towns, need scarcely be insisted upon. In every part of the sicenettixduisrotepenrha:eolotsiptsfpel:aeaat e yn o rt a c country the feeling is growing that turnpike gates are a nuisance which the public would be glad to pay something to be rid of. In some cases a man can go to a neighbour ing town and back by railway cheaper than he can drive there, on account of the tolls. We hear one case in which a Sussex coachman brings his master a bill for tolls for a fortnight of 24s for a pair of horses, and this not for a great deal of travelling, but "merely a little country visiting." Between Etchingham and Hastings. a distance of 17 miles, this coachman pays 6s in toys; and if he goes in the oppo site direction to Tunbridge, it costs 4s or ss. Things are just as bad in the North. The city of Durham suffers severely from the plague of toll gates. It is afflicted with six gates at the six entrances of the town, besides trse check gates. If you want to reach Durham from any p oint a mile distant you have two gates to pay. The tolls are so onerous that they suspend or prevent the running omni nibus to the railway termini. At one of the bars near Dur ham they make people pay, not once in 24 hours, but 24 times in 24 hours, if they pass so often. A brickmaker states that in one day he paid 10d ten times over for pass ing and repassing a gate about 5 miles from Durham. The farmers won't drive into the city on market-days, but leave their horses and carts at a neighbouring village, in conse quence of of (the oppressive nature of the tolls. In the West of England there is the same impediment to traffic and locomotion. A Ledbury man who goes to King ston, 21 miles distant, has to go through eight gates—three on the Ledbury trust and five on the Hereford trust. He changes horses at Hereford, and he has to pay five gates. If he visits Newent, eight miles from Ledbury, he encoun ters four gates, and pays at three of them. If he goes to Worcester he meets six gates in 16 miles, and pays at four. If he goes to Bromyard he finds five gates in 13 miles, and pays at all, yet the roads are bad. The Ledbury trust com prises 62 miles of road. The trustees have a clerk at £3O a year and a surveyor at £l2O ; they had a collector at £52 a year, but they find it better to let the tolls than to collect them, owing to the frauds of the toll collectors. Ledbui y is said to have suffered greatly from the railway. Rather than pay a couple of turnpikes which separate him from Ledbury a man will go to the nearest railway station anti take a ticket for some other town. *bile the country turn pikes offer these itupediinonts to intercommunication, the trustees suffer the fate of the .Danaides. They catch their tolls in sieves, which let the money run out almost as fast as it is poured in. Take as an example, the England's Gate TrT , st, near (floneester, of 10 or 12 miles long. The trustees collect in tolls ..-C2BO a year, and they pay £llO. or about 40 per cent., in clerks, surveyors, repairs of turnpike gates, and toll keepers. The consequence is that the trust is bur dened with a debt of £2,600, and the ratepayers of the dis trict have not only to pay toll, but repair the roads into the bargain. Aro we notjustified in calling such a system an tiquated and barbarous ? THE " SATURDAY REVIEW . ' ON MR. WHALLEY, ORIENTAL HOSPITALITY. The papers inform us that Mr Whalley, M.P., has invited all his constituents to pay him a visit. There is something gorgeous and Arabian in so magnificent an invitation. Other great men are often free-handed and munificent, but to have a whole consti tuency as guests gives the finest notion of Mr Whalley's heart, and of his boundless resources. We think with won der of the scene that presents itself to the imagination, The constituency of Peterborough is not a very small one, and it must be of a mixed character, and of mixed creeds. A lucky accident may indeed divide the guests, and as Mr Whalley's mansion is always open, chance or arrangement may induce them to come in batches. Supposing this is so, we are lost in fancying what they do when they get there. Let us say that only ten tailors, half of them drunk and half of them Roman Catholics, arrive just as Mr Whalley is sitting down to dinner. Where do the tailors go to ? What does Mr Whalley with them? What do they get to eat and drink? Does Mr Whalley carry polite ness to the extreme of humouring the fancies of his guests ? Does he hob and nob with his drunken five, and bless the Pope with his Rotnanist five ? Perhaps, however, the effort is less than it seems, an i the hospitality is based on the sup position that no one will accept it. Mr Whalley may reckon that no constituent in his senses would go off a couple of hundred miles to stay with his member, when every one was asked in the same way and at the same time. But, then, these same people have elected Mr Whalley, and he may argue that, if they could be induced to do that, they could be induced to do anything. It is certainly odd that he should satisfy Peterborough; but as he satisfies Peter borough enough to be elected there, he may satisfy it enough to draw Peterborough to Wales. The papers, how ever, that tell us of Mr Whalley's princely invitation, also tell us that the representation of Peterborough will be keenly contested at the next election, and possibly the invitation and the prespectivo contest have something to do with each other. Those who come to dine will, it may be sup • posed, remain to vote, and this hospitality may only be Mr Whalley's way of bribing. If so, it is as simple and inno cent a way of bribing as could be found. Mr Whalley has had the honour of discovering the very slightest and most harmless temptation to the British elector that could be wilder his honesty. An elector who takes nothing more for his vote than the pleasure of arriving unexpectedly at a remote country house in company with ten tailors is really uncorrupted. In a certain way, most Englishmen love hospitality. We think it a virtue, and it has the advantage of being a virtue that is easy and pleasant to the virtuous man. Of course we cannot emulate the hospitality of men in uncivilised countries. We cannot take in the wandering stranger as a Arab sheik or an Illinois backwoodsman does. There are no wandering' strangers in England, or, if there are, they are of the kind whom we think it well to provide with a night's lodgings, a pint of gruel, and an opportunity of a little gentle stone breaking. The distinguished cavalier who, in romances telling of wild countries, goes up to the castle and sings the songs of his country after supper, or the traveller whe, in books of travel, spends a night in an Arab tent, drinks sour milk, and wonders at the queer Mahomc dan custom of saying prayers without shame, gets through a much simpler process in England. He has his inn wait ing for him everywhere, and an admirable opportunity of finding combined the maximum of cost and the maximum of d seomfort. It is not in the slightest degre a discredit to civilised man that he is not hospitable as an Arab chief is hospitable, nor is it much credit to the Arab chief that his hospitality is as great as it is. If it is a gain to the travel ler to be housed or sheltered for the night, it is also a gain to the host to have some one with a new face to break the monotony of his dull life,. The sheik is like Mr Whalley ; he does not give for nothing. While Mr Whalley surveys his tailors feeding, and notices the pleasant way in which they get through their meals, he probably sustains himself with the thought that he will have his reward when next polling-day comes. The sheik, too, who has got more sour milk and tough bread than he knows what to do with, in the same way soon receives ample compensation for the simple cheer he offers. It is something for him to notice his guest's watch and gun, and the nervous anxiety with which the stranger smooths his moustaches. Besides, each individual sheik feels that he has no option. It is not open to him to be inhospitable, and custom decrees that he shall receive without questioning the wandering guest. It is good in him to be hospitable, but it would be very bad in him if he were not. And a great part of the hospitality that is shown in the world is of this sert. It is a duty that has to be discharged, or it is the only thing the hospitable man can do under the particular ciroumstances. For ex ample, the great man of a district, the Lord Lieutenant of a county for instance, entertains hosts of visitors on stated oc casions. Is this hospitality? Perhaps so; but there is no particular virtue in it. The Lord Lieutenant must do thus much, and uncommonly shabbily the duty is some times performed. The rich men who live near a great town like London, and who have made heaps of money in trade or business, exchange heavy dinners with each other, This, too, is a very easy sort of hospitality. They have nothing else to do with their money, and scarcely any other way of showing that they have it. They meet to give each other tacit certificates that rumour has not exaggerated their substance. They entertain in order that, when they appear outside their gates, they may have the respect paid them that is ordinarily shown to persons who are satisfactorily accredited as being warm, comfortable men. Considering how very largely in most cases the benefit of hospitality lies more wila the giver than with the re • ceiver, it may be doubted whether the notion, so common in England, of its being undignified to accept hospitaii y without an opportunity of returning it, is not carried too far. In some cases, of course, the notion is a very proper one. Where, for example, there are neighbours in the country who hold much the same position in life, and have much the same pretensions and claims, it would be no ' cepting a position of humiliating inferiority if any one of them were always to be content to be the guest and never wished to be the host. Or again, if there are many well to-do persons living together on sociable and easy terms, as in the upper circles of a provincial town, it fairly raises tn. ... L eese. er meanness and stinginess if ono mem ber of the circle seems to shirk his 'share of enter taining. But where no inequality among local equals, and no imputation of stinginess, can arise, the guests need not think that they are receiving a benefit from the host which, if unreturned, will cover them with shame. Let us take the case of a cheerful couple, free from family troubles, with a countryhouae where they wish to reside, and a large fortune, What are they to do with their house and their money ? A man cannot go on for ever staring out of his window, slapping himself, throwing up grateful oyes and saying to himself that ho is monarch of all he surveys. He cannot be always riding or driving. Nothing is more wearying and more desolate than large rooms with no one to fill them, and large dinners with no one to eat them. The host wants guests. To get them is to get the best thing that money can purchase, and that without which most other things that money can purchase are useless. The guest, as he walks through the large rooms and eats the large dinners, may fairly say to himself, " My host is very kind; ho gives me the luxury of a great house. I can walk through his park and fish in his lake. I can get in his stables a good horse to ride, I may shoot his pheasants. I can read his books, and have for the time all that his wealth gives him; but then, in return. I prevent his wealth being a burthen and a curse to him. I and my fellows guests give him the satisfaction of having a full house in stead of an empty one. We enable him to swell with the happiness of exercising an easy virtue, and so, on the whole, we do more for him than he does for us, and, although his kind hospitality charms us, it sc arce ly l eaves us hi s debtors." In the same way, young married people in Lon don need not be under the apprehension they sometimes ex press, that, in accepting invitations to dinner without being able to give dinners, they are incurring a humiliating obli gation. This is a pure mistake. The obligation is, out of all proportion, on the side of the hosts. It is everything for them to get young married women at their table. The differenze between one dinner party and another is not in the eating, for all dinners are cut pretty much in the same pattern ; nor in the drinking, for scarcely any wine at big parties is so far drinkable as to make its little variations worth noticing; but the difference is in having or not hav ing plenty of young married women at table. What is the good of staring for hours at a pile of ferns and camelias, or forced fruits, to a man who is placed between a silly silent girl on one side and a solid rock of matronly silk the other ? Young married women who look tolerably nice and will talk are of priceless value at dinner parties, and, of course, their husbands must tome too, and very amiable creatures they generally are, and quite worth their keep. At the same time, it is not fair to represent all hospitality as pure pleasure. Those who are consistently and widely hos• pitable, as a matter of principle, have many trials to go through, and the world may bo obliged to them when they bear these trials pleasantly. In the first place, they cannot help receiving professed stayers-out—men and women whose business it is to go from house to house, and who have a happy art of making life, wherever they go, seem artificial, vapid, and frivolous, A man whose position condemns him to come down morning after morning and find a parcel of such people gathered round his breakfast table must often wish ho had been born in a humbler position, which would have permitted him to breakfast in peace with his wife, his children, and his paper, Then, again, when men arc widely hospitable, and act on principle, they find themselves impelled, or forced, to include iu their hospitality persons who are in very respectable pusitioreg, but who have not the reserve of educated persons. The penalty of this extension of benevolence is the asteefehines theasgh innocent, familiarity with which their guees show their readiness to be sociable, the confidences about their Tome and Fannys into which they enter at once, and their sudden transitions from stiffness to boundless intiinncy. It is not, therefore, so very enviable to ho in a position to exercise wide hospitality as it might seen), and they are perhaps the happiest whose hospitality ?oneik4s. merely in welcoming knu wn friends, and in s hirting withtheta th e pleasures of an unassuming but comfort able home. It is true that hospitality in this case ceases to be a virtue, for all is pure pleasure in it. But different men have diff erent duties, and every one is not called on to be hospitable on a grand scale, Every one is not either an Arab sheik or Mr Whalley. WATER, says the G uard ian, WaB recently being retailed in Jersey at ld a pint, The troops were drawn up in line of contiguous columns, the first (Sr right being a squadron of cavalry, composed of some 35 men rank and fiie, and the Ist Manchester Light Horse, under the command of Capt. Turner, a small regiment it is true, but a very gay one ; their brilliant scarlet uniform, white leather breeches, and black boots, contrasting in a very pleasing manner with the bats talion of artillery atationed on their left. Next to the Artillery (250) were the Ist Manchester, 509 ; next the 24th Lancashire (Rochdale), 204 ; next the 56th Lancashire (Salford), 344; and next the. 7th Administrative Battalion, consisting of 352 men belonging to Ashton and Oldham. These, making a total of 1,409, not counting the cavalry and artillery, composed the let brigade, corn , mended by Lieut. Col. the Hon. A. Egerton. The 2d brigade, commanded by Lieut. Col. Dugdale, consisted of the 2d Manchester, 575; the 4th Administrative Battalion (S wiuton, Leigh, Atherton, Worsley, and Farnworth men), 318; and the 3d Manchester, 565—total, 1458, making a. grand total of 3152 men rank and file: The weather during the early part of the day was full of promise, .and was so indeed up to near five o'clock, when there was' a heavy rainfall, which in some measure preventedkolonel M'Murdo doing all with the troops that he ieterdad. He with - his staff came upon the ground about half-past four, and was received with a general salute, He then rapidly rode round the several battalions, express ing himself highly pleased with the appearance and bearing of the troops. This done, the cavalry and artillery wheeled to the right, and commenced the march past, followed by the 3d Manchester, and so on till the Ist Manchester brought up the rear. They all marched past at quick time—indeed one of the cavalry went past at a sort of double. double, his horse fairly bolting away with him, and in so headstrong a manner that be had to throw away his sword before he could pull the animal up. This little incident caused some laughter, but that was better than an accident. The whole of the battalions marched past in open columns in excel lent style, and were loudly applauded by the spec tators. The troops then resumed their original position, and opened out to deploying distance from the right battalion of the right brigade. The brigades then changed front on the left battalion, the right thrown back, when a line of skirmishers was sent forward, consisting of the Ashton and Oldham troops, the imaginary enemy being beyond what was the right of the original position. The artillery had previously been wheeled to the left, preceded by the cavalry. After the skirmishers had kept up an almost incessant fire upon the imaginary enemy for some minutes the advance was sounded, but they could get very little fur ther, whereupon two light field pieces were sent forward to support them. They unlimbered close by the left of the line of skirmishers, and for some time played upon the supposed enemy but without effect, and ultimately they had to fall back upon supports drawn in line. This line was strong and apparently invincible, for it advanced bravely and poured into the supposed enemy a withering fire, and when to their support some heavier field pieces were brought they drove him back; where upon the cavalry, seeing this, crept round to tha right, in readiness to charge if the enemy showed signs of wavering or retreating. It would appear that they did, for the order was given to charge, and this little band of 35 dashed forward and, amid cheers and applause from the spectators, cut the imaginary stragglers to atoms. After this charge the centre battalion advanced in line supported by two flank bait ilions in echelon, and ultimately they formed a single. From the inner flank the flank battalions advanced and formed company squares and fired volleys, the centre bat.' talion fcur deep preparing to receive cavalry. After that a grand charge was made in line, and the field was then in their undisputed possession, the heavy rain having dispersed the spectators, and the bravery of the troupe combined with the strategy of the commander, having worsted the imaginary enemy,l Having called the officers in front, Col. M'Murdo thus addressed them :—Officers, gentlemen all—l have had the pleasure of reviewing you several times before, and on each occasion I have been more satis fied with your performances. I have especially rea marked the consolidated battalions of Manchester. They started on good, sound, and safe principles of discipline and order; and now I have seen you offi cially for the last time, I cannot resist the gratifi cation I feel in expressing to you how much admire you as volunteer soldiers, and citizens; I. do not talk to you as I would to soldiers of the line, although your efficiency is quite sufficient for the day of battle if ever you should be required to face the enemy of your country. Ido not think it possible, if you desired it, ever to arrive at the same state of efficiency as the soldiers of the line. I have seen a great deal of the volunteers ; I saw you from the cradle of the volunteer movement; I saw you when you were creeping ; I saw you when you were walking as soldiers bearing arms—as firm soldiers in solid battalions. And now let me tell you that, having arrived at your present state of efficiency, it is incumbent on you to look to rapidity of move* ment. You have attained quite the natural amount of steadiness to deploy ihto line ; you change front and advance in line most admirably; and now I recommend you in future to work upon your parade ground with the great object of rapidity in these movements, and if ever you find yourself in front of an enemy you will find the enemy has been rather drilled with a view to rapidity than steadiness and slowness. At the battle of Mollnitz Frederick the Great deployed his troops into slow lino to the strains of music ; but those days have passed away, and it is rapidity—rapidity alone—that will gain the battle. I therefore want you volunteers to work upon your parade ground with this view as much as possible. I would not have given you this advice two or three years ago; but 1 see that you have arrived at that stage of efficiency in all your simple movements that you may require it. Then practise these movements at the double, and you will then find in the day of battle that you will be a match for your enemy in point of rapidity of movement. Let me say that the battle of Solferino was won by the rapid movements of the French troops. The Atiso trians were still in column when the French were in extended order, and they being thus in extended. column, about two paces between each file, ats tacked the Austrian columns before they could. double into line. I will not detain you longer, but I assure you that I leave the office of inspector of the volunteer forces with the greatest nud most profound respect, for 1 believe that upon them wilt &pond the honour of this coat:lay in ease of any a ggreebive movement of a foreign po wer—ss hielt may God in Rid mercy avert !—and which I believe is in your power to avert. So long as yon main< tain the high and efficient state of drill which vela have now reached no enemy will approach the shores of Great Britain. Good bye! The gallant` colonel then rode.'away amidst Ire.' mondous cheering from the troops, who shortly after left the ground. In the evening a complimentary dinner was given to Colonel M'Murdo at the Queen's Hotel, at which upwards of sixty officers belonging to the various Lancashire regiments were present. The chair was occupied by Colonel Dugdale, supported on the right by Colonel M'Murdo and Lieut.-Colonel Page, of the Bth Regiment, and on the left by Colonel Lloyd and Major Bridgeford. In response to the toast of his health, Colonel M'Murdo made a long and interesting speech. GREY HAIR.-248, High Holborn, London.— ALEX.
