The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone tary arrane en,ents of the increasing commercial interests of Great Britain and its dependencies. In founding this unde , taking the Directors have secured the co-operation of an old and highly -respected Discount Firm in London, with whom arr ngements have been made for the transf. r of its lucrative bus nese to this corporation, and two of whose partners join the lli , ection. It will thus b a manifest that the Dis 'ount Corporation starts with a large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to command the confidence of the public. The materi ,, l basis of the Corporation will be a large sub scribed Capital, judicially distributed. The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and contlnentil trades of the country', and the greatly extending commercial transactions with India and the Cc lonies, le:.d to the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre sent exist are required An establishment, which from its ample means will be able to supply such requirements, will no dont t be favourably re ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek the permanent investment of their money, and to those who merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus funds. The known profitable operations of the old private D's count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed, will prove a complete success. The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London. No promotio,-money will be given for originating the undertaking, and the pr&iminary expenses will be strictly confined to such as are indispensable. Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Dir. ctors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at the Offices of the Brokers and solicitcrs ; but no application "will be considered unless a deposit of XI per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

This Company is established for the purpose of granting temporary loans and advances on eligible ships and other Marine property, by way of mortgage or assignment, covered by policies of Insurance, and on such other security as may be found desirable. Money will also be received on deposit for stated periods, upon interest to be •greed. and will be employed in like mariner with the capital, the uncalled por ton of whit and the property held on mortgage by the Company, will at all times afford ample security to depo sitors. The estimated value of British vessels mortgaged is up wards of five millions sterling. It thus becomes apparent that a wide field exists for a well-established Company of this kind. The want of some ready channel for obtaining loans on shipping has been so severely felt that the Directors enter with confidence on the prosecution of a class of business hitherto transacted by private individuals with considerable profit. In addition to the profits on capital, which arc estimated at from 10 to 15 per cent., the Directors have facilities for borrowing at such rates as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6 per cent.. The detailed prospectus and forms of application for shares may be obtained of the Secretary, Brokers, and Bankers, and at the Offices of the Company. Should the full number of shares applied for be in excess of those at the Directors' disposal, the surplus will be credited to the allotment, or returned at the applicants' option, MARINE INVESTMENT COMPANY (Limited).

Laurie, Esq. Objects of the Company.—The object of the British Indian Tea Company (Limited), is to conduct tea planting in India on an extensive scale, in some of the best localities, on estates where the success of the tea plant has been already established, and where a large extent of existing plantation secures an immediate return, and affords a certain base for further operations. With this view a provisional purchase has been made of eight valuable estates in the tea-producing districts of Assam, Cachar, Sylhet, and Darjeeling. The estates comprise 2,000 acres now in plant, 750 acres of which are three years old and upwards. The crop for the current year. included in the purchase, is guaranteed to be fully 160,0001b5., and 500 maunds, of 821bs. each, of tea-seed ; next year the crop 01 tea is guaranteed to be at least 220,0u01b5. In addition to the 2,000 acres in plant there are 40,000 acres of uncleared lands, adapted for tea plantations. The lands are held either in fee simple, or under grants from Govern ment under the old rules, for 0 years, at mere nominal rents, and convertible into freehold tenure on very easy terms. The price of these estates is £155,000, of which one-half is to be paid in shares of the Company, the remaining half to be paid In cash, by instalments spread over one year. Profits.—The company will commence its operations with 2,000 acres in plant, and a crop as above stated of 160,000.b5. of tea, besides 500 maunds of tea-seed, which is readily sale able at £8 to £lO per maund, if not required for extensions. The profit on the tea and tea seed produced during the cur rent year, calculated at present moderate prices, will suffice to pay at least an eight per cent. dividend on the paid-up capital, and as large areas come into bearing the Company's profits will rapidly increase._ The estates have been selected with care by experienced parties, and regard has been had not only to the quality of the soil and its fitness for tea culture, but also to the supply of labour and facilitiesfor transport. In many cases the lands have a valuable river frontage. The average *produce of an acre of tea in India, after five years, is from 250 lbs. to 300 lbs. and upwards The average price at which tea of this quality now sells, deductinf freight and charges, is is. 10d. per lb., while cultivation and manu facture cost only 9d. per lb., and even less, leaving a net an nual profit of from £l3 to £l6 an acre, when the plantation comes into full bearing. Where tea of the usual quality of Indian teas is grown, each acre ofjungle, as it is cleared and planted, yields after five years a large annual profit; and whe'e extensions proceed in the neighbourhood of an exist ing plantation, the expense for buildings and supervision is very slightly increased. The growth of tea will be the chief source of profit. The Company will prudently extend the cultivation, as these operations will greatly augment the value of its uncleared estates. From the letter of the Calcutta correspondent of the "Times,' which appeared in that journal on the 29th June last, it will be s en that an immense field presents itself in India ior the cultivation of tea; and, having regard to the present and pr ,spective value of the plantations transferred to the Company, it is confidently believed that the profits to the shareholders will exceed those realised by the Assam and other Indian Tea Companies. Messrs. E. H. Higgs, A. D. Macleod, A. S. Campbell, and E. Rushton, the superintendents of the estates, are men of experience in tea planting, and have been selected from per sonal knowledge of their character and capabilities. The plantations are in efficient working order, having coolies mated on them, and are provided with a full supply of im plements for manufacture. Mes-rs. Gordon, Stuart, and Co., of Calcutta, who have paid much attention to the cultivation of tea, and have sue cesstully managed other prcperties,will be the agents for the Company in India, under fhe direction of the Board in London. _ _ The Peculiar features of the British Indian Tea Company are tnese:— _ _ 1. The larg - e extent of tea plantations on its estates, already in successful operation, placing its results more on past ex perience than on prospective estimates. 2. The price paid for the estates, being in like manner not based on speculative estimates, but on an actual production of tea adequate to pay at least 8 per cent. from the first, with the prospect of a rapid increase. 3. The great capa^ity for early and economical extension, with 41,000 acres of land, most of which is adjacent to the ex isting estates and bui.dings. 4. The distribution of these estates over four of the best tea-growing provinces of India. giving facilities for labour, and a skcurity against any partial 1 allure in one locality from unfavourable seasons, or other causes. The Directors expressly intimate that there is no payment to be made to promoters. Prospectuseti and forms of application for shares may be obtained of Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the brokers of the Company ; or at tue tempora r y o ffi ces o f t h e C ompany.

The paddlewheel sloop Ardent, which was recently brought to Woolwich from the south-east coast of America, and paid out of commission by Captain Parish, has been surveyed throughout and con demned as unfit for further service. She yesterday commenced returning her boilers and machinery, preparatory, it is stated, to her being broken up. The gunboat Speedwell, Commander Cottam, commissioned to replace the Recruit (intended for service on the West Coast of Africa, and afterwards condemned), was inspected yesterday. The crew were mustered at the powder buoy at Woolwich, by the Commodore, Sir Frederick Nicolson. and Commander Luke, superintendent of the Steam Reserve. The Speedwell afterwards left Woolwich for Greenhithe to adjust compasses for sea. A new class of gunboats now under consideration at the Admiralty, to be built of iron and to be armour-plated, will shortly be commenced to re place the condemned gunboat fleet at Haslar. In these vessels the twin screw principle, well known, and approved by Mr. Reed and the Admiralty Board, will be thoroughly carried out. An experimental target, representing a portion of the,Warrior's side, has been built at Woolwich, and is now ready to be forwarded to Shoeburyness for a trial of the heavy Armstrong guns. The target, measuring 12ft. Gin, broad and 10It. high, is securely bolted to a huge platform, lined on either side, lengthways, with 12 empty casks, which will be partly submerged during the experiment. About 2ft. of the target will be also under water. The target isfplated with iron slabs of 4jin. thickness, and is firmly backed by logs of 18-inch teak. The greatest care has been taken in its manufacture to select and test the whole of the materials, so as to render the trials conclusive. Mr. HENLEY assured the company that it always gave him great pleasure to be present at the hospi table gatherings of the municipality of the city of Oxford, and he must express his deep regret at the causes which prevented their esteemed friend, Mr. Langston, from being present, as he had so often been on former occasions. It was his sincere wish, and in that wish he knew they all cordially joined, thai it might please God to restore his hon. friend to health. (Cheers.) His right hon. friend had been pleased to call him (Mr. Henley) an old agri culturist, and had appealed to him to say whether this was not the very best harvest he could recollect. Now, it was quite true he had been an agriculturist as long as he could remember, and he should con tinue to be one as long as he could do anything. But the very fact of his being an old agriculturist had taught him not to be too confident of any thing, and farmers did not reckon up everything till the end of the year, although they had got in the harvest. He believed the recent harvest had been very good—nay, an excellent harvest ; but the The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Dr. G. Duncan, surg. additional to the Narcissus; Chas.

H e either hoped - that the clouds which now darkened that political horizon might pass away w ith out a storm, and that by the blessing of God peace might be pre served. (Cheers.) Speaking in the presence of one of her Majesty's Government he might be permitted to say that he trusted they would continue to fol low that wise course of policy which they had hitherto adopted, and endeavour to keep the nation clear of any troubles that might hereafter occur in foreign countries. (Hear.) He had no fear but that the honour of the country would be safe in their hands; at the same time, when they saw a prospect of great troubles springing up in other countries, he thought it was not out of place in any public man to raise a warning voice, and to express a hope that the same care which had hitherto been mani fested in keeping it free from the quarrels of other people, would continue to be exhibited in the pre sent threatening aspect of affairs. Difficulties had sprung up in every direction, but hitherto he was glad to say the course which had been taken by our rulers was such as to place this country in a per fectly impartial position among the contending parties, and he felt disposed to give to the servants of the Queen, whoever they might be, the fullest support, so long as they continued to preservev the honour and dignity of the country and to avoid an unnecessary interference with . no affairs of other nations. There could " all doubt that by so doing they would obtain, fro m ~ would otherwise classes of the people a general support, which would enable them to adopt a course which e nough to hie r ight honour they might not find themselves strong take.

Contrast that with the contentment, the tranquillity, and the remark able prosperity which upon the whole exists among ourselves, and above all with that cordial and sin cere affection to our institutions, and towards each other, which happily prevails among all classes of the people of this country. (Cheers.) I do not speak of those slight differences of opinion upon public questions which must necessarily arise among a free people, who are in the habit of discussing openly and fairly all such questions. Such diffe rences of opinion do not disturb the mutual respect and the sincere regard which the various classes of society in this country feel for each other—but I speak of that deep and broad undercurrent of unity on all questions of paramount importance which are essential for the existence of a free, happy, prospe rous, and powerful country, (Cheers.) That pa triotic feeling is manifested upon all occasions in which the honour of the c 3untry is concerned, and it results in respect for our institutions, and not only in loyalty but in warm affection, amounting to reverence, towards the person of our Sovereign and her family. We watch with the deepest inte rest every event that tends to augment their hap piness, and when, as we have read today, an occa sion occurs which recalls the loss, the trials, the suffering, and the sorrow of our gracious Q ueen, the whole nation vibrates with sympathetic feeling, and joins in the expression of sentiment s and loyalty and lore. (Hear.) ,This, then, is the happy condition of our country; we owe it to a higher power, and it is therefore our duty net to be found wanting. But considering the advantages and the blessings we enjoy, we ought by the exercise of energy, industry, perseverance, and fidelity to those great principles which should be the rule of every man's conduct, to endeavour to increase those blessings and multiply those advantages for the benefit of the commmunity among whom we live. I believe that the foundation from which •we derive those blessings will be found in the exist ence of our national institutions ; and they, thank God, are in this happy land fixed on so broad. and deep a basis that they will survive every storm, and continue to be, as they have ever been, the envy and admiration of every country in the world. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Health of the County Members," observing that the county was singularly happy in having as one of its representa tives the Right Hon.J.W. Henley, who had always commanded the esteem and respect of his fellow countrymen, and who was listened to in the House of Commons with the greatest attention by men of all shades of party, for whatever might be their dif ference of political opinion they all admired the sound commonsense observations of the right hon. gentleman, and were grateful for the light which he invariably threw upon all public questions when. under discussion in the house. Col. North had also proved himself a faithful representative, and mast now be considered a tried public servant, while their younger but not less respected member, Col. Fane, had given proof of ability and energy which en titled him to their gratitude and esteem. The toast was most cordially received.

A gencral meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New market, on Wednesday last, present—Lord Coventry, Admiral Rous, Mr. Alexander (stewards; Lord Annesley, Mr, Barne, Count Batthyany, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Courtenay, Mr. W. S. Crawfurd, Mr. W. G. Craven, Sir H. Des Vceux, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. Hawley, Captain Lane, Lord G. Manners, Lord Newport, Lord Portsmouth, Lord W. Powlett, Duke of St. Albans, Lord Stamford, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, Lord Uxbridge, Lord West moreland, Lord Wilton, and Lord Winchilsea. The Marquis of Hastings was elected a member of the Jockey Club. Lord WINCRILSEA brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, but it was not seconded. On the motion of Admiral hous, seconded by Lord COVENTRY, it was resolved—" That in Rule 36 the fine to be inflicted at the discretion of the stewards shall be not ex ceeding 50 sous, instead of 25 sovs, as at present. That in Rule 37, after the words at the usual place of weighing before the race,' the words under a penalty not exceeding £lo,' shall be added. That in that part of Rule 39 which relates to minor handicaps and 2-yr- old handicaps, Bst 101 b shall be substituted for Bst 71b. Admiral Roue's motion for an alteration of Rule 40 was withdrawn. In the absence of Mr. Greville, it was moved by the Duke of BEAUFORT, and seconded by Lord COURTENAY-- " That the rule respecting half -mile races, passed in the First Spring Meeting, on the motion of Lord Glasgow, seconded by Lord Strathmore (see Sheet Calendar, Ne. XIV, p. 64), shall only apply to races to which money is given from the funds of the Jockey Club." After some discussion, the motion was negatived by a large majority, only five members voting for it. The Duke of Beaufort's motion for an alteration of Rule 56, on the subject of claiming, was withdrawn for the present. The next general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held at Newmarket, after the races, on Wednesday in the Hough ton Meeting. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING Despite the rain a large crowd assembled yesterday on the Bury-road, near the town, to witness a match between Captain Machell and Mr. Chadwick, well-known amateurs, to run 100 yards for £5OO, an event which, as the phrase goes, had "excited much interest in sporting circles." As an exhibition of speed it w. s a remarkable one, Cap tain Machell flying from his opponent, and winning by half a-dozen yards; but the distance was much too short to be any criterion of the staying powers of either. A good deal of money changed hands on the occasion, The more legitimate attractions of the day commenced with the 500 Sovs. Sweepstakes, a match between Lord Glasgow and Stamford, won very easily by the latter with Onesander. The 100 Sovs. Plates, A.F., brought 11 to the post, and fell easily to the favourite, Revolver; Birthday filly, looking like the winner near the distance, broke down badly upon being pulled up. The non-favourite won in the match, the Marquis of Hastings's Attraction galloping away from Liston without difficulty. Ostentation gratified the fielders by unexpectedly proving the winner of the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes, for which East Sheen aad Norroy were considered, in their turn, certainties. Antosnette added another to the hollow victories of a day not prolific of close contests, by easily placing the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes for 2-yr-olds to the account of the Lewes stable, the favourite, Wild Huntress, being nowhere in the race, and the 3-yr-old Sweepstakes 'moved the certainty for Dol phin it was maintained to be. Lord Glasgow again was suc cessful in his match with Mr. Ten Broeck, which afforded the nearest thing of the day, the Miss Sarah colt winning on the post by a head. The old Bretby Stakes, one of the time-honoured Newmarket names, brought only five fillies to the post, the favourite, Inca, landing them for Mr. Cart wright, after a good race with sister to Mincepie, by a neck. The weather changed for the worse yesterday, render ing locomotion on the heath anything but agreeable. The rain, however, held up towards the close of the after noon.

Immediately the horses reached the post Mr. M'George got them in line, and despatched them on their way, They ran nearly in a line for 100 or 200 yards, when the running was taken up by the Birthday filly on the lower side, closely followed by Revolver, Little Dick, Villette, and Oberon, General Hesse, who headed the rear division, lying on the upper ground. They retained these positions to the " bushes hill," where Revolver headed Mr. Watt's filly, and cams on with a slight lead into the Abingdon mile-bottom, where Covey made his final effort, but failed to reach the leader in consequence of his filly breaking down badly, Revolver winning in a canter by three lengths —two lengths between the second and third ; Equinox was fourth and Little Dick fifth ; the others beaten off; the last two being General Hesse and Oberon.

Some time was lost at the post in consequence of Hum phrey breaking away twice and refusing to face his horses. At last the flag was lowered, and the horses got away upon equitable terms, but after running a few strides Lady Louisa took up the running, which she retained for the first 50 yards, when she was pulled hack, and the lead taken by Newmarket, who was never after approached, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths, a length separating second and third; Humphrey was fourth, close up ; Welland beaten off.

East Sheen was extremely fractious at the post, which caused some delay in getting them away. On settling into their places, Norroy took a clear load, having the favourite, Garotter, and Benjamin, in close attendance, Ostentation lying away until they reached the half mile post, where she joined the leader, the pair running in company to half a dozen strides of home, when the young one g o t up an d won cleverly by half a length. Garotter was third, beaten off, Benjamin fourth, East Sheen fifth, Confidence sixth, and Gallus last. The M arqu is of Hastings claimed East Sheen.

VALETTA, Oct. 10 . —Letters from the fleet in Greek waters give the following news :—The latest date is the 3d inst. The country continues in a tran quil state, the arrival of the new King being looked forward to with feeli ngs of pleasing expectation and deep interest. Her Majesty's ship Revenge, 73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Yelverton, C. 8.), w hi c h is to escort the young King from a port in France to his new domi n i ons, does not leave Malta for Toulon until Monday next, the 12th inst. Her orders are to be at Toulon by the 15th, and the King is not e xpected there till t h e 22d or 23d. It is re that the Orlando, 46, C apt. G. G. Randolph, ported which left the Pirmus on the 25th ult. for Corfu, and the West Coast of Greece, will form part of the escort squadron. The following ships of war are at present at the Piraeus :—Eugiish—Marlborough, 121, Capt* C. Fellowes (bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral Smart, Kir.) ; Trafalgar, 70, Captain T. Mason ; the Queen, 74, Capt. C. F. Hillyar ; the St. Capt. the H en. George, 84 , F. Egerton (in Salamis the Boxer, 2, Bay); and gunboat, Lieut. Com. F. S. D. Broughton, tender to the Marlborough. French Magicienne, 28, screw frigate, bein; the flag of the Rear-Admiral commanding ; the Tangier, 4, and Mouette, 4, paddlewheel steamers.

Greek—The Athens, 6, paddlewheel steamer, and a screw gunboat. The Engaish paddle wheel frigate Magicienne, 16 , Capt. W. Armytage, sailed from the Pirmus on the Ist inst. for Nauplia and Patras. The Pelican, 17, screw corvette, Acting- Com. Boger, was expected at Athens about the 10th instant from Beyront. She was to return and winter on the coast of Syria. The Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. G. Parker, was also to winter on some part of that station. The Cossack, 22, Capt. W, H. Holland, and the Icarus, 11, Commander N. Salmon, V. c., are at present there. Report says that the Marlborough will shortly return to Malta. The Admiral intends, however, to remain at the Piraeus, and hoist his flag on board the Queen. The three men who perpetrated the cowardly murder of a marine belonging to her Majesty's gunboat Fox hound some months since are about to be brought to trial before the Criminal Court of Athens, the decision o f which will be final. The Trident, 3, iron paddlewheel sloop, Commander C. I. Balfour, arrived at the Pitxus on the 25th ult. from Malta with a mail and des patches, an d returned on the 6th inst., bringing despatches and letters from the squadron ; also three naval cadets and an assistant clerk for the Meanee, and two naval cadets for the Phoebe. She steamed from the Piraeus to Kala mata, where she communicated with the Wanderer, 4, gunboat, Commander M, C. Seymour, and per formed th© remaining portion of the voyage to Malta, with the exception of the last 12 hours, under sail, acquitting herself better than was ex pected. The Liffey was expected at Kalamata on the 11th inst. The Foxhound, 4, gunboat, Coma wander W. H. Anderson, left Malta on the Ist inst. for the Pions, and the Meanee, 60, Capt. G.

The Revenge, having got ashore on the mud at Navarino, was on arrival here admitted into dock for examination. No damage was discovered but what a few sheets of copper will make good. The Phoebe has also been into dock to have her bottom cleaned and examined. Her broken engine is being repaired here, and it will be necessary to cast a new cylinder. It is not expected she will be ready for sea again in much less than three months. Her Majesty's iron screw trans port Orontes, 2, Capt. W. H. Hire, which brought here on Wednesday evening, the 30th ult., the 2d Battalion Bth Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Col.

OXFORD, Thursday. Last night a grand civic banquet took place at the Town Hall in this city. Among the guests present were the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P., Col. North, M.P., Colonel Fano, M.P., the Recorder of Oxford (the Queen's Ancient Sergeant, Mr. Sergeant Manning), the Vice-Chancellor, the High Sheriff, the Senior Proctor, the Public Orator, the Masters and Provosts of the various Colleges, the Mayors of Abingdon and Woodstock, and a large number of the principal inhabitants of the city. The Town Hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The MAYOR (Mr. Alderman Thompson) occupied ;he chair. After the various loyal and patriotic toasts had been given and responded to, The MAYOR proposed " The Health of the City Members," which was most cordially received. Mr. CARDWELL, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He said—Mr, Mayor and Gentlemen, I have been accustomed to rise and return thanks for this toast with feelings of gratitude and joy; but I regret to say that to-night those feelings are allied more to sorrow than to joy, when I reflect on the state of health of my respected colleague Mr. Langston. Your mayor has truly said that he has been faithful to you, and you, gentlemen, will be faithful to those who have been so faithful, and therefore it is that you testify towards him your sincere respect and cordial regard. (Cheers.) For my own part I esteem the pr i v ilege of representing Oxford in Parliament as the highest honour to which I can aspire, and so long as you extend to me that privilege I will not attempt to repay you in words only for the kindness which you have shown to me. (Cheers.) I hope I shall never show myself unworthy of that steadfastness of principle and conduct which you will naturally expect from any one whom you may select to the high honour of re presenting you in Parliament. (Cheers.) Gentle men, I have the pleasure to-night of sitting by the side of the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, and I need not remind you that in the summer of this year the city was honoured by the visit of the Prince of Wales, and sitting by the side of the Vice Chancel lor I would beg to remind this meeting that upon that occasion I was selected as the recipient of a high honour and mark of favour on the part of the taken e t University of Oxford. (C e he e e e r m s.) , and Tha t have mark their favour I most highly esteem, the liberty to recur to it, not in reference to myself, even to express the gratitude I sincerely feel to the university, but as a proof of the connection which exists between the university and the city. (Cheers.) That connection is extremely valuable, and reflects equal honour upon either party. (Cheers.) It is impossible for us to assemble together as we have done on the present occasion without a feeling of wonder and gratitude at the circumstances in which this great country is now placed. We have just gathered in a harvest more bountiful perhaps than any harvest in the experience of my right hon. friend Mr. Henley, large and valuable as that expe rience has been, for he is, I may safely say, one of the most experienced farmers in the county. In the north of England, with which part of the country I am more particularly connected, I am glad to say that th ose scenes of recurring distress with wh i c h it has been visited are now passing away, and that things are more promising than could have been anticipated for the suffering county of Lancaster. (Hear, hear.) I, for one, was always sanguine upon this point, and believed that the tria l throug h which we were passing would not only be borne with great heroism, and would result in a state of undiminished prosperity to the country at large, but I did not believe that we could have go ne through the first, and even two years of such a terrible cala mity as that which it has p leased Divine Providence to afflict us with, and yet that the country would present such a happy con trast to almost ev ery country in the world . am sure, then, that I on l y echo the sentimen ts of this meeting when I sax with that that we cannot contrast the happy position of the British Empi re at the present moment of other countries without a sincere feeling of gratitude to Qod for the great ble ss i nga which . ~,~_ ~!
