Q O 0 4 0 5; t .4 a. . .0 01 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. lie is al ways beat after dinner, or in a cross-fire of warm discue. sion. Sir George Lewis was probably in some re spects the most apathetic man in the House of Cam mons, and was never by any chance warmed by debate. But the cold lucid vigour of his intellect, and the power it gave ham in detecting political ,trifles and recognising the nonsense that often ac quired a fictitious importance in popular diteussion, often lent to his remarks an illihtehat had a very unique fl .roue of its own. W a Home Stere tary be mei sometimes to explain to the Howie the utter futility of the arguments that had been ust d 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 those 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 ho believed to be the reason of the subject as a co npcnaation for vot ing against what he thought the reasonable policy of doing nothi ng , w hi c h was the keenest of satires. thoen grain.is lw a y p r 1 G ra plausible b e l w e jesv alwayse even when sa d o g L o o e r s ci against !' s t 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, hie 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 Le moves—and society believing too complaisantly in itself ever to be cynical at bottom except in very , rare emergenoies—bis creed is always a little rose water-Conservative—" Don't change, better let him alone." Of course the living statesman has the in flume given by expressing the feeling of the day pleasantly—the dead that given by strengthening it, not altogether pleas a ntly. I n d eed 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. lie now and then breaks out against manufacturing opponents like Mr Cobden with something of scorn ; he can strike sharply in re'urn for the blow given him by another, as well as smile if it snits 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 a mild way for the men who bruited them about ; there was in him an immoveable benevolence of feeling steadier than any emotion, and an unaffteted 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 uscd to the full the strength of counsel he had in him. Both of them substantially Liberal Conserva tives,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, rind far greater knowledge, ho was so far inferior in cis and in mobility of mind that he need never have endangered his chief's supremacy. The ono would have supplied the moving power of am bition, and the social ease, the other the passionless ju Igment and clear knowledge,—and probably t he only thing remaining deficient in the combination woad have been political imagination: Should no allotment be made the amount will be returned forthwith without deduction.

" THE LONDON REVIEW" ON ABOLITION OF TURNPIKE TOLLS.—One of the conditions of a sound fiscal impost is that all that is taken from the taxipeyer shall find its way into the Treasury, with the smallest possible deduction for oost 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 costa about £26 per annum, and there are more than four gates, on an average, to each trust. Thus wo have an expenditure of one hundred and ten thou sand pounds upon the mechanical operation of coilecting 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 offieers—its clerk, surveyor, and sometimes its paid treasurer. In the Leomiust:r truer it takes one-half of the revenue to pay the expenses acid establishment charges, while the repairs, after all, are put upon the parishes. In some other trusts the expentea rang/ from 25 to 40 per cent. of tho whole rovenuo. To the permanent cost of collection and management must added the periodical expense of renewing the Acta of Par liament. The eleven hundred trusts have each been re newed (say) four times within the last century, at a coot of above £2,000,603 eterling. No wonder that the trusts of England and Wales, under thin thriftless system of adminis tration, have accumulated a heavy load of debt. The bonded debt, which is nominally put at £1,000,000, is, indeed, one of the chief obstacles to the abolition of toll gates. It may, no doubt, be said in favour of the turnpike system, that those who use the road to any extent pay for their use of the road. The House of Commons' committee of 1836 at. tached considerable weight to the circumstance that turn pike tolls caught the through traffic, Tho turnpike road was formerly a national road. When people travelled from London to York by stage coaches and post carriages, it Bra e but reasonable that the burden of repairing the road should not fall exclusively 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 boo el 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 hoe 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. Tho farmers and other ratepuyere of the district really pay the tolls at present, but with this difference, that an enormous per-centago is frit tered away by the cost of gatekeepers, the peculations of collectors, the salaries of paid officers, and the multiplicity of trusts. The vexatious and inconvenient impe ditnents to traffic interposed by toll gates, espe cially in the neighbourhood of large towns, need scarcely be insisted upon. In every part of the country the feeling is grossing that turnpike gates are a nuisance which the public would bo 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 ho o.n 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 Harainge, a distance of 17 miles, this coachman pays Os in tors; and if he goes in the oppo site direction to Tunbridge, it coats 48 or 6e. Things are just as bad in the North. The city of Durham 'suffers severely from the plague of toll gates. It is affreted with six gates at the six entrances of the !own, besides two check gates. If you want to reach Durham from any point a mile distant you have two gates to pay. Tho tolls are so onerous that they suspend or prevent the running omni nibus to the railway termini. At ono of the bats 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 ferments won't chive 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 Lodbury 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. lie changes horses at Hereford, and ho has to pay five gates. If he visits Newent, eight miles from Ledbury, ho encoun ters four gates, and pays at three of them. If he goes to Worcester ho meats six gates in 16 miles, and pays at four. If ho 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 truatece have a clerk at £3O a year and a surveyor at £120; 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. Ledbut y is said to have suffered greatly from the railway. Rather than pay a couple of turnpikes which separate him from Lodbury a man will go to the nearest railway station and take a ticket for some other town. While the country turn pikes offer those impediments to intercommunication, the trustees suffer the fate of the Daneides. They catch th it tolls in sieves, which let the money run out almost as fast as it is poured in. 'rake as an example, tho England's Gate Trust, near Gloucester, of 10 or 12 miles long. The trustees collect in tolls £2BO a year, and they pay £llO, or about 90 per cent , in clerks, surveyors, repairs of turnpike gates, and toll keepers. The consequence is that tho 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.

It will thus be seen that the average value (as represented by the price of the shares) of the above-mentioned four Companies is £3 4e, premium per share, utter deducting (if any) the reserve fund ; the price of issue of this Company's new shares to the public is £2 13s. 44. premium, from which, after deducting the amount of this Company's re sorve fund, equal to £2 per share, leaves the share costing only 13s. Id. premium against £3 4s. premium, the average price of the four companies before referred to, leaving a bonus to the public of £2 10s.

The, pipers 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 caftea free-handed and munificent, but to have a whole consti tuency as guests gives tho finest notion of Mr Whalley's heart, and of his I.Knitlleas resources.

A lacks accident may indeed divido the guests, and as Mr Whalloy's mansion is arrays open, chance or arrangement may induce them to come in batches. Supposing th's is so, we are lost in fancying what they do when they get there. Let us Pay that only ton tailors, half of them drunk and halt 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? Dom Mr Whaney 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 Romanist five ? Perhaps, however, the effirt is less than it seems, ant the hospitality is based o 1 the sup position that no one will accept it. Mr Whalley may reckon that no constituent in his senses would go cff a couple of hundred miles to stay with his member, when every one was asked in the same w)3 , and at the same time. But, then, these sense people have elected Mr Whalley, and he may arguo that, if they could be induced to do that, they could be induced to do anything. It is certainly odd that ho should satisfy Peterborough ; but as ho satisfies Peter borough enough to bo elected there, ho 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 tho representation of Peterborough will be keenly contested at the next election, and possibly the invitation and the prospective contest have something to do with each other. Those who comp 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 fur ilia vats...than Liao plossuio of arriving unc..apnotakittraira remote country honso in company with ten Whits 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 wo cannot outulato the hospitality of men in uncivilised countries. We cannot take in the wandering stranger as a Arab sheik cr an Pllnoisbackwoutlsman does, There aro no wandering strangers in England, or, if there aro, they aro of the kind whom wo think it well to provide ith a night's lodgings, a pint of grliel, and an opportunity of a little gentle stone brooking. The distinguished cavalier who, in romances telling of wild countries, goes up to the cantle and sings the eongs of his country after supper, or the traveller who, in books of travel, spends a night in an Arab tent, drinks sour milk, and wonders at the queer Mahome den custom of saying prayers without shame, gets through a much simpler process in England. lie has hie inn wait ing for him everywhere, and an admirable opportunity of finding combined the maximum of cost and the maximum of cUscomfort. It is not in the slightest degre a discredit to civilised man that ho is not hospitable as an Arab chief is hospitable, nor is it much credit to the Arab chief that his hoepltality is as great as it is. If it is a gain to the travel ler to be hound or sheltered for the night, it is also a pin to the host to have romo ono with a now face to break the monotony of his dull life, Tho 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, ho 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 ho knows what to do with, in the same way soon receives ample compensation for the simple cheer ho 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 ho has no option. It is not open to him to be inhospitable, and custom decrees that ho shall receive without questioning the wandering guest. It is good in him to ho hospital le, but it would bo very bill in him if ho were not. And a groat pert of tho hospitality that is shown in the world is of this sort. It is a duty that has to be discharged, or it is the only thing the hospitable man can do under the particular eiruumstances. For ex ample, the great man cf a district, the Lord Lieutenant t t a county for instance, entertains h . osts of visitors on stated oc casions. Is this hospitality? realm), 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, ar.d who have made }wipe of momy in trade or business, exchange heavy (Elmore 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 cut, ruin in order that, alien they appear outside their gates, they may have the respect paid thew that is ordinarily shown to persons who are satisfactorily anerotlited as Wog warm, wmfortiblo men, Cuusideling Luw very largely in most c tscs tho of hospitelity !its morn wi:h tho giver than with tho ru • ceivcr, it in.ty ho doubted whether tho notion, 110 oun l yw i n in England, of its being undignified to accept hospital y without an opportunity of returning is not c:►rriod too far, In some cases, of cour,e, the notion is a very proper one. Where, fur example, there aro neighbours in the country who In.ld much the same position in hfe, and have much the' same pretensions and claims, it would bo ac cepting a position of humiliating inferiority if any one of them were always to bo content to be the guest and never wished to be the heat. Or again, if thew are many well to-do persons living together oa sociable and easy terms, as in the upper circles of a provincial town, it fairly raises the suspicion of meanness and stinginess if ono mem ber of the circle seems to shirk his share of enter taining. But where no inequality among local cqu Its, and no imputation of stinginess, can arise, the guests need not think that they aro receiving a benefit from the host which. if uureturned, will cover them with shame. Let us take the case of a cheerful couple, free from family troublee l with a countryhoufte whore they wish to reside, and a large fortune. What aro they to do with their house and their money P A man cannot go on for over staring out of his window, slapping himself. throwing up grateful eyes and saying to himeelt that ho is monarch of all he surveys. He cannot be always riding or driving. Nothing is more worrying and more desolate than large rooms with no one to fill them, and I trge dinners with no one to eat them. The host wants guests. I'o get them is to got the beat thing that money can purchase, and that without whites most other things that money can purchase are useless. The guest, as ho walks through tho largo rooms and eats the large dinners, may fairly say to himself, "My host is very kind; he gives me the luxury of a great house. I can walk through his park and fish in his lake. I can get in hie 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 fellow• guest. give him tho sathiletion of having a full house in- stead cf an empty one. We enable hint to swell with the happiness of exercising an easy virtu., and so, on the whole, wo do more for hints than ho does for us, and, although his kind hospitality charms us, it scarcely leaves us his 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 aro incurring► a humiliating obli gation. This is a pure mistake. The obligation is, out of all proportion, on tho side of the hosts. It is everything for them to got young married women at their table. The cliff:rem:a between one dinner party and another is not In tho eating, for all dinners are cut pretty much in tho same pattern ; nor in the drinking, for scarcely any wino at big parties is so far drinl.all t as to ma)co 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 rook of matronly silk the other ? Young married women who look tolerably nice and will talk aro of priceless value at dinner parties, and, of course, their husbands must come too, and very amiable creatures they generally aro, and quite worth their keep. At tho same time, it is not fair to represent all hospitality as pure pleasure. Those who aro consistently and widely lms. pitable, as a matter of principle, have many Wale to go through, and the world may be 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 t) 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 hie breakfast table must often wish ho had boon born in a humbler position, which would have permitted him to breakfast in peace with his wife, hie children, and his paper, Then, again, when men arc widely hospitable, and sot on I.rinciple, they find themselves impelled, or forced, to include in their hospitality ptrsons who are in very respectable position., but who have not the receive of educated persons. The penalty of this extension of tenevulence is the netoninhing .hough innocent, familiarity with which their gucs s phow their rendinm.s to bo sociable, tho confidonces about their TOlll3 and Fannys into which they enter at once, and their ou tdcn tranritions from stiffness t) boundless Intimacy. It is not, therefore, so very enviable to be in a position to exorcise wide hospitality as it might :mom, and th e y are perhaps the happiest whose hospitalityconsists me re l y i u welcoming known friends, and in shoring with t h ew the pleasures of an unassuming but comf)rtable home. It is true that hospitality in this ciao ceases to ben virtue, for all is pure pleasuro in it, Bat different itiLit 11 .e,) different duties, awl every ona is not ellied on is 1,•3 li , spitable on a wand scale.

This Company is an extension of the Credit Foncier (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilior (Limited), which were established, the former for financial business in con nection with land, the latter for general financial opera tions. 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 19) per cent, per annum, and who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per share on £.5 paid for less than six m ,nthes' working, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fined, and the enormous accession of business of both oompanies render it absolutely essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the baeis of their operations. With this view it has been determine' 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 tho 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 "EXAMINER" ON THE SUPPOSED HOARD INO 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 th an i t i s a s i n k o f co pp er , 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 Cninese, contribute a minor share. Indeed, India, in regard to the precious metals, is very much in the condition of England herself, for wo 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 than in 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 in towns and cities; bills of exchange, also, are of immemorial use among them. Is such a state of society there is no temptation to boarding, 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 ence'a 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 ho to bury treasure; an expedient, indeed, never had recourse to by any people except during foreign invasions and long civil wars, and from bath the verger part of India has been free for from one-half to a whole century. Much has been made, and in our opinion very erroneously made, of 'Endo() ornaments and trinkets, to account for the imagined disappearance of the millions of tLe pre cious motels yearly brought to India. rhis refers chit fly to silver, for in such articles gold is tu. rarely employed even by the very few wealthy. Cho 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 urt is unknown to them. A tnan or woman of means may some times have a silver betel or tobacco-hor, and the woman now and then a silver skewer for her hair, but that is all. Thu Hindus wear no watches, unlike the Chinese who do wear them, and always two at a time. A well-to-do English farmer or prosp erous ar ti s an will be possessed of more articles of l uxur y in gold and silver than a whole Hindu v ill age o f 1,000 inhabitants. but we do not on that account charge him with wasting the precious metals and diverting them from 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 which the pre. cious metals, but more especially silver, is put in India is as mo ney , as i n d ee d it is in every civilised country. Indi a f rom i ts importation has to supply not only itself, but ale, the countries in its imme diate neighbourhood, for these have no other chan nel by which they can receive them, and like it, p they produce no ne th ems elves. Probably not less than two hund re d an d fifty millions of people, or one.fifth of the camcomputed population of the globe, has thus to b e supplied. From the ve r y n ature of things thi s p opulat i on mus t always be supplied with foreign gold and silver. Of late years, but especially since the discovery of the gold of Cali fornia and Australia, the importation of the precious metals has greatly increased, arising wholly fretn the increased prosperity of India. The reader may judge of this increase by the value of cur own im -named year th e va l ue ports from th a t country at two not very r emo t e periods. In 1854 t h e va l ue of our imports w as b ut £13,000,000, and in 1862 they had risen to £39,000,000, or in eight short years had been mul tiplied threefold.r In the was ew but £17,000,000 , and ofou r expota to India even adding 50 par cent. to this sum, so as t o ap proximate it to the Indian value, the whole will only amount to £25,500,000, making a difference in the value of the imports and exports of £130500,000 to be balanced by a p a yment in specie which Sc. counts for the millions exported yearly to India. There the money is not hoarded or buried or sr.- ended in trinkets, but, with trifling exceptions, it finds employment in new branches of indus try or the extension of old ones. rho subject of Lord Lewis, as ae in singu-THE "SPECTATOR '' ON THE ,PREMIER AND SIR , that p G aziomee G n e tc C i f s p E e N e V s A h L , L s tea .g l Ei roe — : t politicians usually lar contrast to his eulogi . st .

Nothing could create a greater contrast between ) the tw o p o li t i c i ans t h an this difference. Lord 1 aliners'en catches at his " principles" hastily when he wants them; and in tuitively avoidsexpre.seing ar,y,in matters of political moment, as far as it is is not to do s o . Wh a t p er , tinacity he has, and it not sm a ll, i s t h e pert i nac i ty 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 ples were never of the doctr i naire and cast-iron kind, for they were deduceds trietty f rom e xp er i ence by a cautious and sceptical intellect that cared no thing at all what result he arrived at so long as it was the true one—but when he had reached a con clusion, though he never hesitat e d t o y i e ld practi cally on a point that ho did not think of importance, ho was peobJbly incapable of being even affected iatellemallY by the diskeut of the world.

Oa Saturday afternoon, in the presence of some 12,000 to 16,000 speetators, a grand volunteer re view took plcc.) on the Manchester race course, the reviewing officer being Lieut. Col. M'Murdo, The corps together numbered upwards of 3,000, and they began to arrive on the ground about half-post three o'clock, the that on the ground being that dashing and amart-looking regiment the lat Man chester, numbering rank and file 509 men. Other regiments rapidly followed, but it was not until a quarter to five o'clock the last of them, we b'elicve the Leigh and Atherton, reached the course. This was three-quarters of an hour behind the time II et d upon, and a quarter of an hour after the re% iewieg officer had commenced his labours. This was un fortunate, to say the least ; but we presume ievould not be helped, owing to the late arrivsl of the trt:ia by which they came at its destination. The troops were drawn up in lino of contiguous columns, the first cr right king a !gtiadron of cavalry, compostil of sonic 35 mmu rank and fi Aid the Ist 111 krettaster L'ght iloree, und. , r tho ota reasnd of Capt. Turner, a email regiment it is true, lug a very gay one ; their brillteet esrlct uniform, white leather breeches, contrasting in a very p:eaaing manner and black booty, with the bat talion of artillery atationed on their left. Nezt to the Artillery (230) were the Ist Manchester, .5C9 ; next the 24th Lancashire (Rochdale), 204 ; next the 50th Lancashire (Salford), 341; and next- the 7th Administrative Battalion, consisting of 352 rnen belonging to Ashton and Oldham. Thue, making a tett' of 1,409, not counting the cavalry and artillery, composed the Ist brigade, com mended by Lieut. Col. the Hon. A. Egerton. The 2d brigade, commanded by Lieut.. Col. Dogdale, consisted of the 2d Manchester, 675; the 4th Administrative Battalion (Swinton, Leigh, Atbarien, Woreley, and Firnworth men), 318; and the 31 Mviehester, 5 05—total, 1458, making a grand total of 3162 men rank and file. 'rho 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 prevented Colonel M'Murdo doing all with the troops that ho intended. He with his staff came upon the ground about half-past four, and was received with a general salute, Ha 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 ths right, and commenced the march past, followed by the 3d Manchester, and soon till the Ist Manchester brought up the rear. They all marched past at quick time—indeed one of the cavalry went psat at a sort of double• double, hie horse fairly bolting away with him, and in so headstrong a manner that ho had to throw away his sword before he could pull the animal up. This little incident caused some langhter, but that was better than an accident. The whole of the battalions marched past in open columns in exe.2l - style, and were loudly applauded by the epc c tater& Tho 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 lino of skirmishers was sent forward, consisting of the Ashton and Oldham troops, the imegivary enemy being b'yond what was tho right of the original position. Tho artillery had previously been wheeled to the left, preceded by the cavalry. After the skirmishers had kept up an ahnoat incessant fire upon tho imaginary enemy fon 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 eleirmiehers, and for some time played upon tho supposed enemy but without effect, and ultimately they bad to fall back upon supparts drawn in lino. This lino was Fitrorg and apparently iaviucible, for it advanced 1' rely and poured into the sop tead Men' ;1 . 4 , fire, and when to their t kOlalf; hcay., pieces were brought they drove him back; wh -e- ~~ "~ itl+ it a witi,crlnf, fic:!(1 upon the cav,llry, stein this, crept ruund to the right, in readiness to charge if the enemy showed i.igns of wavering or retre cing. It would appear that they did, for the order was given to charge, and this little bond of 35 dashed forward and, amid cheers cud applause (rem the spectator?, cut the :rnaginary stragglers to atoms. After this charge the crn're bittalion adranud in liuesunorted by t 1.1 0 ba , t ilions in cchelee, and ultimately thry formed u single. From the inner II ink the flink battalions advanced and formed compiny squares arid fired volleys, the centre bat talion four deep preparing to receive cavalry. Attcr that a grand charge was made in line, and the field was then in their undisputed pmeseion, the heavy rain having dispersed the spectators, and the bravery of the troops combined with the strategy of the commander, having worsted the imaginary enemy,'] Having called the officers in front, Col. M`Murdo thus a :dressed them :—Officere, gentlemen all—l have had the pleasure of reviewing you several titnee before, and on each occasion I have been more satis fied with your performances. I have especially re. marked the consolidated battalions of Manchester. They started on good, sound, and safe principles of discipline and order; and now 1 have seen you offi• cially for the last time, I cannot resist tho gratifi cation I feel in expressing to you how much I admire you as volunteer soldiers, and citizens. I do not talk to you es I would to aoldiers of tho line, although your efficiency is quite sufficient for the day of battle if ever you should be required to face tho 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 wore creeping; I saw you when you were walking as soldiers bearing arms—as firm soldiers in solid battalions. And now let mo tell you that, having arrived at your present state of efficiency, it is incumbent on you to look to rapidity of move. moot. You have attained quite the natural amount of steadiness to deploy into line; you chango 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 traeps into slow lino to the strains of music; but those days have passed away, sill 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 ace that you have arrived at that stage of effi c i enc y i o a ll your s imple movements that you may requi re it. Then practise these movements at the double, a n d y ou will then find in the day of battle that you will be a match for thatemy t i h n op battleoi nt of of s! rapidity reri of flou movement. y m o o ur n saye rapid movements of the French troops. The An, trians were still in column when the French wer e swonb y I. et in extended order, and they being thus in extended column, about two paces between each file, at tacked the Austrian columns before they could double into line. I will not detain you longer, but I assure you that I leave the tube of inspector of the volunteer forces with the greatest and most profound respect, fur I I.),!lieve that upon them will depend the honour of this country in case of any aggressive movement of a foreign power—which may God in His mercy avert!—and Which Ib '• Zilao is in your lower to avert.
