He is known to have been suffering from t b h y e s o u b l e ) period of the year when Miens generally seek fore relaxation ; he had just been o,ter a pass 13,000fte high ; and he had complained of the effect of the mountain air on his breathing. It WAS soon after this exploit that his ailment manifested itself; an d heart complaint ; he had gone to the the inference is that it is in these circumstances we are to look for an explanation of the unexpected calamity which we now record. Bose Lord Elgin traced his descent the to at Earl wh Who name he bore, and he was sou of th ruce The saln brought the Elgin marbles t o England. of Scottish parents, he was born in London on due 20th of July, 1811. He was ed ucated at Eton, an a. from Eton he went to Christ Cieurch, where, as lately* we have too often had to repeat, he was o ne of the distinguished band of scholars and statesm en, in cluding Si r G e o r ge Lewis, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Canning, and Mr. Gladstone, who were reared in.. that celebrated seat of learning. :He was of the first-class i n c l ass i cs i n 1832, and suNsequently he became a Fellow of Merton College, being then known in his father's lifetime as Lord Brace. We hear little of him - tilllB4l. In that year he married; he entered Parliament as member for Southampton, and as a Supporter oi f Sr Robert Peel ; and he suc ceeded to the earldom, which, being a Scotch peer age, did not interfwith his seat in the Low er House. The goner: election of 1841, which sent Lord Bruce to Parliament, raised Sir Robert Peel Stanley us to power, with Lord Secretary for tile Colonies. Sir Robert Peel. and Lord Stanley were both scholars and statesmen, train ed oin Christ• Church, were both preposse sse d in favour of the new-comer, and in 1842 offered him the Governor- Generalship of Jamaica. In noting this fact, wa are reminded of a scene which many years after-. wards took place in the House of Lords. It was. the first night of the Session of 1859, and the first appearance of Lord Elgin in the Upper Rouse after his return from his succesful mission to China. In the debate which then occurred, Lord Derby and Lord Grey contended with generous rivalry for the honour of having first introduced Lord Elgin to official life. "My Lords," said Lord Derby,-- I cannot pass over the subject of the treaties that have been concluded with China and Japan without expressing what has also been so well expressed by my noble friend behind me, approval of the course which has been pursued by her Majesty's plenipotentiary. It is a peculiar satis-< faction to me to have seen Lord Elgin, who was appointed to my predecessors in office, discharge his functions with so much zeal, skill, and ability, because it so happens that I was the first person who had the satisfaction to introdu co Lord Elgin into public life. Earl Grey—l beg your pardon, my lord—l made the ap pointment. Earl of Derby—l beg my noble friend's pardon. I rec01 , ..4 lect giving him his instructions before he went out. Earl Grey said that it was not so. On his coming into office he thought the state of Canada was such as to require. a person of civil experience to administer its affairs, and ac- , cordingly Sir George Cathcart was recalled and Lord Elgin appointed Governor. Earl of Derby—Whether I am in error or not does not in the slightest degree alter my feelings of satisfaction at the manner in which he has discharged his duties or my per sonal friendship for him. It must have been not a little gratifying to Lord Elgin to be the object of this pleasant rivalry_ Lord Grey was quite right in cla;ming the honour of having sent him to Canada ; but Lord Dsrby had.. sent him previously to Jamaica, and therefore was• the first to introduce him to public life. In Ja.. maica Lord Elgin had no easy task, but he acquitted. himself so well that when in 1846 the Whigs had to seek out the ablest man they could find to be Governer-General of Canada, theypitched upon Lord Elgin, notwithstanding his Tory connections. The truth is, that the Tory party was now for a season. broken up, and that the Wbigs might without fear turn to some of the Conservatives for assistance. Lord Elgin fulfilled its duties with consummate tact. He carried out in Canada the conciliatory policy of his father-in-law, Lord Durham, and b y preserving a neutrality between parties, by deve loping the resources of the country, a - Krieultural and commercial, and by seeking in every possible w ay to study the wishes of the colonists, he, in reign that extended o v er e i ght years, did a more than any man to quell discontent and to knit the Cana dian provinces closely to the mother country. He was so successful that in 1849 he Was h onoure d. with a British peerage. The next office Which ho Was called upon to fill was that of Ambassador to China. It was on his wa y thither that he heard of the Indian mutinies; at once on very slender information he divined the importance of the crisis divert to Calcutta crisis, and took upon himself to the troops which had been ordered to Chi na i This is one of those 1 1 support of his mission there. 4 of 0 _ se acts of rapid decision, of official courage, and unselfish thought, w hi c h historians will ever delight to remember. He passed on to China, and though, by this act of unselfishness , his Was d progr ess all elayed, yet in the end, as we know, he succeeded in his aims ; he saw Canton taken, and he negotiated the important treaty of Tientsin with the Celestials, which form s the basis Of our present relations with them. it was a great triumph, and though there had been much bitter contention as to the policy of Lord Palmerston in prosecuting the Chinese fear, y et its su cces sful issue scene seemed to gratify all partie s alike; and that which we have described as taking place in th e House of Lords in February, 1859, will show that the opponents of Lord Palmerston not less than his supporters were anxious to do honour to the British, Plenipotentiary. Not to re pose, however , did Lord In the summer of 1859 Elgin return to this country. on office once Lord Palmersto n entered up more, and member of his Cabinet, 'witll. L or d Elgin becam e a G the duties of Postinaster- eneral. What followed it needless t o recount. The brother of Lord is almost El g i n , Mr. Bruce, had been appointed our En voy in China, and in accordance with the treaty he ought to have been received in Pekin. Access to the capi tal, however, was refused to him, save on conditions which were considered derogatory to the British representative, and when we insisted on the rights secured to us by treaty, there ensued the disaster the Peiho.

It was felt at the same time that so rnw‘h misfortune must have its interval of hrightneso , and it was hoped that Lord Elgin might escape. If, as we fear, he has fallen, he has fallen in harness; but he has bad the satisfaction of seeing India grow into prosperity under his rule, and hold out expectations which for years past we have not dared to entertain. All through his life he was suc cessful in his undertakings, and he was successful at the last. He owed that success not so much to great genius as to good sense, to social tact, and to a love of hard steady work. PRICE..... ~..4d. STAMPED ....M. Blanch, A Reid, and W.

Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, .Nlaster Commander Bowden, left Malta on Tuesday for England, with condemned stores. Her Majesty's ships now in Malta harbour are— the Hibernia, receiving ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8.) ; the Gibraltar, 81; the Phoebe, 35; the Icarus, 11 (under repairs) ; the Foxhound, 4; the Caradoc, despatch v esse l ; and the Medina. The Warrior,-40, iron frigate, Capt. A. A. Coch rane, C. 8., was yesterday, according to previously announced arrangements, undocked at Portsmouth, and berthed in the harbour, where she took her crew on board from her hulk, and will complete for, joining the admiral at Spithead. We have on two occasions since the ship has been in dock made a few remarks on the internal arrangements of the ship as a man-of-war, and on the condition and na ture of the compositions and sheathing with which her bottom has been coated externally, and shall take the present opportunity to shortly notice the present state of the ship's hull and her machinery, and add also a few facts to our former notice of the working of the ozone gas in use in her engine-room and screw alley. It is almost needless to say that every time the Warrior goes into dock or even lies in still water every possible measure is taken by the offi cers belonging to her to keep themselves thoroughly acquainted with all parts of the ship, so far as may be possible under the circumstances, and that there fore the actual condition of her framing, fastenings, and plating,—her hull proper, or skin—is pretty well known to her officers, much better to them, in fact, than it can be to any of the officials of a dock yard. Every part of the structure, frame, fasten ings, and plating has been found in the most per fect condition; even the sleepers on which rest the huge boilers and machinery bear about them the same appearance of massive strength and solidity as on the day they received the first portion of their weights, and it is believed they have not moved a hair's breadth from the line of their original posi tion. The whole structure of the hull is thus, as far as can be reasonably asserted under the unavoid able circumstances of a partial inspection, as sound as on the day the vessel was first sent afloat from her builder's yard. From published reports the public know that the Warrior has seen a good deal of rough weather since she has been commissioned ; and, indeed, as as an example of the kind of wea ther she has at times had to contend with, it may be mentioned that on one occasion she took a sea on board of such volume that the stokehole itself wa s swamped, every gauge-glass in front of the boilers broken, and the whole place filled with steam, hot ashes, and water. It has been the care of the Admiralty to officer the Warrior as care fully below as on deck, and in the midst of the con fusion occasioned by this sudden invasion of sea water the men were kept steadily to their work, and the ship continued her progress without a check. The present state of the Warrior's hull, therefore, showing as it does such unequalled excellence of material and workmanship, must be a matter of great pride and gratification to both the Admiralty and the Thames Ironworks Company. Since coming into harbour every bearing of engine, shaft, and screw has been moat minutely and carefully ex amined, and not a defect of any kind, however slight, has been found to exist. On the contrary, these parts are more perfect, perhaps, than when the eng i nes were first put together, for whatever of roughness or unevenness might have existed then has now been worn down to a polished smoothness, and friction has been reduced to the minimum point. With reference to Trachseles ozone gas, now in use in the engine-room and screw alley of the Warrior, the gas being 28 times heavier than common air, a current of air becomes necessary to carry it to else burner. This is obtained by a double Indiarubber bellows or blower, worked by a weight and geared wheels, which carries a current of air Equal to 1233 cubic feet per hour, or 148 cubic feet in 12 hours, absorbing 307 . 469 cubic inches of ozone—Equal to 1.102 gallons for 15 lights for 12 hours —each light being equal to that of three composite candles at eight to the pound. The cost of lighting the engine room and screw alley with 15 of the ozone lights for 12 hours is 455 d, against 17s 4d for 33 oil and candle l a mps, the ozone gas giving 11 per cent. more light. With regard to the Warrior's general efficiency as a man-of-war, there can be no doubt that she holds now, as she has held from the first hour of her launch, the foremost place in our navy. Her ac k now ledged faults consist in her extreme length, great draught of water, and deficiency i n turning power, faults which certainly render her services unavailable in narrow or shallow waters. Her pre eminent virtue consists in her speed, at present un paralleled by any ship of war afloat. The Defence and Resistance class are more manageable under steam in any confined space, but they do not possess anything like the speed of the Warrior, and therefore their favourable points are nullified. The Hector (interme diate class) has yet to be tried ; but her speed is not expected to equal that of the Warrior, and, there fore, she falls back in the Defence class. Neither the Monitaur, Northumberland, nor Agincourt is afloat yet, and when they are their small additional engine power will not compensate for their additional displacement, and they will be fully a knot less in speed than the Warrior, and therefore her inferior, notwithstanding their armour protected ends. Mr. Reed's and Capt. Coles's vessel have yet to be dis posed of, but, whatever be the offensive powers of either craft, unless they possess the Warrior's speed they cannot be said to equal her. The main deck guns of the Warrior are undoubtedly as heavy as can be worked in a seaway on the broadside of our present ironclads, and they can inflict no great injury during a naval action on the plates of a ship clothed with 5-inch armour. These facts speak strongly for the introduction of a more powerful gun into the navy —one, in fact, which shall crush an enemy's plate, in lieu of making, as the 68- pounder does, simply an indentation of about an inch and a quarter in diameter. Now, if Mr. Reed or Captain Coles's ships can carry a gun say of three times the power of the 68-pounder, and have a speed at the least equal to the Warrior's, then m ay they compete by themselves for the superiority which the Warrior now enjoys. If they do not equal her in speed they will most decidedly not equal her as men-of-war, whatever their offensive or defensive powers may be. e i n to a The Lords of the Admiralty have enter d f Shef contract with Messrs.

Hay, the Inspector-General of Musketry, having compiled his annual report, for the information of his Royal Highness the Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, of the progress of musketry instruction in the Army for the year 1862-3, ending on the 30th of September last, the elaborate return has, by command of his Royal Highness, been transmitted during the last few days to all the military stations at home and abroad. The return records the extent to which the several corps and battalions armed with the rifle have been exercised during the year, with the re sults of their performances in the various practices, compiled from the returns received from the corps nsyueetaahre yfbeeairnt being and battalions mentioned. The returns show the efficiency of both the cavalry and infantry. It appears the number of men exer cised in the yearly course was—Cavalry, 8,507 ; infantry, 115,762, the non-exercised amounting to 11.57 per cent., being an increase of that of last year, which was 10 per cent. In the return the several corps and battalions are given by divisions, districts, and commands, according to the places at which quartered. Of the eleven companies of Royal Engineers which have been stationed at the head quarters of the corps during the year, only five have been exercised through the prescribed annual course, whose shooting is, on the whole, fair, and non-exer cised men few. Of the division of the Guards the musketry instruction of the several battalions has been conducted regularly, and the results are satis factory, although the " figure of merit" of each bat talion has decreased, as compared with that of the last year, which is traceable to a falling off in the platoon and skirmishing practices. The Ist batta lion Scots Fusilier Guards is the best shooting bat talion. With respect to the army in the East Indies, Major-General Hay observes that the mus ketry instruction of the corps and battalions in the Bengal Presidency has been conducted on the whole regularly. The shooting of the regiments has im proved on that of last year, except in the 7th Dra goon Guards, 19th Hussars, Ist battalion 7th, 46th, 48th, 79th, 90th, and 101st Regiments, in which it has fallen off. The percentage is less than last year, although still large in several ds l 2ere Sergeant g g hie i eisma pointsne t n t K s i na sp ys e ,h c o i l - ostt. speci fied in the Inspector-General's report. The rifle training of the corps and battalions of the Bom bay Presidency has been conducted regularly, although the results are not as satisfactory as they might have been. The shooting of many of the regiments has fallen off, and that of the 28th and 106th is bad. The musketry training in the Madras Presidency has been correctly carried on, and the shooting in the majority of the regiments has im proved, particularly in the case of the 91st Foot, and the percentage of non-exercised men is the smallest in the army.
