Its pe is itearitrieularly recomm ended to persons entertain in g secret doubts of Physical condition, and who are c onscious of having hazarded e health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are Prin , iples of personal management which cannot be violated without !' , eurring gr i evou s penalties, and when w i s dom and regret succeed heyday of inconsiderate self -Indulgence, how these penalties suay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, how the evil and its cOnsequenees maybe avoided, and above all, tir t there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional sn'vf.P4gement to which the timely aid of scnce cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged id ad extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant ipirids, who inflict great injury on t hose who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

(Renewed cheers.) At the same time our brave soldiers, guided by two of our princes, and our most illustrious generals, are traversing the Mediterranean to fight by the side of an ally who has found, in the justice of her cause and devotion of her people the secret of sus taining valiantly a terrible struggle against an aggression as formidable as it is unjust. Already we may admire on the shores of the Danube, at-Odessa, at Silistria, in the Baltic Sea,- their valour and their magnanimity. (Cheers.) Let us hope that other triumphs are reserved for them. - On the other side, gentlemen, the arts of peace have never ceased to illustrate both England and France. At no epoch has the intellectual, industrial, and commercial power been manifested with more acti vity and grandeur. (Cheers.) You have only to look around you and you will have a most palpable proof of the striking evidences of this fact. In Paris, as in Lon don, human labour exhibits all its wonders, and in the same way that, under the impulse given by the Emperor Napoleon,. the Louvre approach es completion, so her Most Gracious*Majesty, the Soveireign of Great Britain, inaugurates this palace of wonders. (The noble count resumed his seat amid great applause.) The Earl of CARLISLE, who was warmly cheered, pro posed the toast " Success to the Crystal Palace," and in doing so, said : I have been honoured by a request to propose to you a toast upon the present occasion, and whatever may be the shortcomings of the proposer, and whatever the dignity of the audience, I yet feel sure that I may calculate upon your ready and unanimous ap proval. (Cheers.) That toast is " Success to the Crystal Palace." (Loud and protracted cheering.) lam hap pily relieved from any necessity of explaining or recom mending such a toast by the notoriety of all the circum stances which have attended the origin and progress of this great undertaking, by the interest evinced in the very fact of the attendance of an assembly of such varied dis tinction, and, above all, by the mute but eloquent and all-sufficing testimony of the fabric itself. It may be said, not I am happy to think, as an epitaph upon the tombs of the men who have contributed to its completion, but as a tribute to their living merits, " If you want a monument, look around." (Cheers.) Success, then, to the Crystal Palace, partly on account of that liberal breadth which has distinguished the whole conception, principle, and design ; for while, as we saw last week, crowned heads and their representatives, and universities and municipalities, the great, the learned, and the fair, crowded around its cradle and blessing its auspicious birth, there is not an obscure class of society, there is not a struggling son of toil, for whom it does not store up and throw open its treasures, whether for blameless recreation or wholesome instruction,—(great cheering)— and while its contents may minister to the most refined taste and to the soundest knowledge, it seeks to provide for the common, the public, the einiversal enjoyment. (Renewed cheers.) " Success to the Crystal Palace," since to those who by their circumstances, their means or their duties, are confined to the narrower circuit of our own shores, it extends some, at least, of the plea sures and advantages which haves been , heretofore ex clusively confined to the wealthy or the unoccupied. (Hear, hear.) I myself, who now- thus venture to ad dress you, come here fresh with the most recent impres sions of all that is most lovely in nature and most ad mirable in art. Yet when I weeder into the Greek, Italian, or Byzantine court above, I can almost feel that I am again gazing at the glittering .cupolas of St. Sophia or St. Mark's or upon those masker-pieces of Phidias which still remain on their own nor aortal rock. (Hear.) Yet in these delicious climes the ought will too often obtrude itself which is contained in. the expressive line of one of oar poets, that— " All, save the spirit of man, is divine" — (hear) ;—but here, under our weepinig skies, and amidst our murkier atmosphere, the spirit of man has been en abled to recabthe foliage, the bloat eiss, and the odours of the tropics, or to retrace the u nsurpassed forms of human genius. Success, again, to the Crystal Palace, because throughout its birth, its gros rth, and its maturity it has been the work of private enter! irise. And although in its rapid progress it has been constantly cheered by a royal smile, and sustained throughout by the sympa thy of millions, yet it is through iieibidden and unaided efforts that it has become all that :yen now see it. (Hear.) I could not wish, and if I could wish, I should not be able to classify the services which have brought about this brilliant result. I may just ~ay for myself that the pleasure I have felt in being prese ills this day has been materially enhanced by a long pri seat) regard fbr my dis tinguished friend Sir Joseph Pro ton. (Loud cheers, during which Sir Joseph Paxton ho wed his acknowledg ments.) And you will also, perhaps, just allow me to say that I feel assured you will joi n in the regret I my self cat not fail to feel, that the buiiness, both of this day and of last Saturday, has wanted. the presence of an other friend still more intimately connected with him—l allude to the Duke of Devonshire: (Hear.) But I feel confident that, though I decline tcle!e task of classifying any difference of merit or exertiOni that may exist be, tween the distinguishei persons wino have brought this great enterprise thus far to maturity, any such differ ence will be most accurately and 'candidly measured by the agents in the work themselves. I know, too, that the prospect of its being a remunerative enterprise can not have been the one that was foremost in their minds; yet they, as well as we, are bound to wish, if only as a test of the amount of pleasure 'arid benefit which the Crystal Palace may confer upon others, that it should be abundantly remunerative to then as elves. (Cheers.) And this, lam sure, you will all feel, however romantic or chivalrous their disregard may be for their own inter ests. (Renewed applause.) Success then, once more for all, to the Crystal Palace. (Renewed cheers.) It is the wish of my heart that many a happy generation may disport themselves beneath its gleaming roofs, all along its well stored courts and suggestive galleries, or among its gay parterres and stately terraces, and there feel the thrill of gratification to the Creator who has implanted in their souls the sense of beauty, and learn those lessons of lowly reverence which offers up all the treasures of this world as an incense to the God of all worlds. (Great cheering). I have thus said little enough, I know, for my subject; but I trust I have said enough to induce you, on this occasion, to join with me in drinking with as much warmth and goodwill as the wish requires, " Success to the Crystal Palace." The toast was drunk with three times three, and with the most enthusiastic applause. The CHAIRMAN, in responding to the toast, said that circumstances had made him to a great extent the spokes man and official mouthpiece of this undertaking. An undertaking of this description wee of necessity managed by boards of numerous directors, and as a board of eight or ten gentlemen could not speak all at once with any effect before an assembly like the present, it became necessary that one individual, their chairman, should be their mouthpiece. It was his fortune then to occupy that position to-day, and trusted they would remember that there were many who acted, although there may be only one to speak, and that the merit, whatever it be, was distributed amongst those colleagues whose spirit and energy had assisted in conducting the undertaking to a successful issue. Still further, to go for a moment beyond the board of directors of whom he was the official' organ and mouthpiece, he would say that he was glad to have the opportunity of doing that which the noble earl had told them it did not devolve on them to do, namely, to classify in some degree the merit which might be ap propriated to different parties who had embarked in this enterprise. This was a task which he had no hesitation in performing. And, first, he would classify the merit by assigning to his distinguished friend (Sir J. Paxton) the merit of designing this undertaking. They might have had 20 or 100 boards of directors to do what the pre sent board had done, but they could not have had another Sir Joseph Paxton. (Much cheering.) He was the only individual at this moment living and breathing in Europe who could have achieved that proud triumph of science and art which has reared the Crystal Palace of Sydenham on that beautiful and magnificent hill. (Cheers.) In proceeding with his classification he would next mention two names also henceforth illustrious in the annals of English art—he alluded to his friends, Mr. Owen Jones and Mr. Digby Wyatt. (Renewed cheers.) It wee to their eminent talent, and to their unwearied zeal and assiduity that the collection of these treasures of art, which we all admired, was mainly owing ; and if the reproach, which had so long attached to England, of not understanding and appreciating the fine arts was destined, as he hoped it was, speedily to pass away, he did say that to those three names—Paxton, Jones, and Wyatt—would be due the gratitude of our posterity, if we could show that this country was not behind the rest of the world in its appreciation of the fine arts as well as in the cultivation of the pursuits of commerce. (Cheers.) To return to the board of directors, whose organ he was, the only merit they claimed in promoting this under taking was, that they had faith in the genius of those great men, and faith, also, in the English people. (Loud cheering.) He said "faith in the English people," be cause, if this undertaking was to be carried out to a successful conclusion, it was evident that, however highly we may value the patronage of the distinguished and the noble of the land, who had that day honoured them with their presence, it was to the hardworking, industrious millions of England that they must look for the complete succe ss of the work. (Renewed cheers.) For his part, he would say of himself and of every one of his colleagues, because he knew it from intimate conviction, that they entertain the strongest and most assured faith in the mass of the English na tion in supporting whatever deserved to be supported, and giving them success. if it be true that they deserved to achieve it, (Cheers.) The noble earl h truly observed that remun eration was not t object he obec so ught for in this undertaking. They had, he trus pursed a higher an d nobler object. (Hear, hear.) At the Caine time he did not conceal the anxiety with which they looked forward to this en terprise being remuneracon - tive as a commerc ial s p eculation ; for they were sinned that should it prove masses o, it would be the signal for embarking great of the overflowing signal capital of the country in similar enterprises of i e t h h r u o l p k i ce of ouratur e p , e w e l i e c to waohuilgadnhteern dlevelca- raise na l b a y n d d e g a r e P e h s i thanvirthany this to f e ewlinhgichhtehecyoulhda d o n y l e y t attained. mo r e (Cheers,) d e e i a r l s iy ) thank them on the part of every one who had been con nected with the rearing of the noble structure in which they were then assembled, and assured them that it was among the d ear est wishes of their hearts to see the toast they had just drank he s uccess of the Urystal Palace —the palace of the people of England—realised to its utmost extent. (Loud and continued cheering.) The CIAIRIIAN proposed " The Health of the Ladies of England," which, having been drank with due gal lantry and heartiness, the company withdrew to pro-_ manacle in the palace to the strains of the music of the Crystal Palace band, roam amid the treasures of art contained in the various courts, or inhale the salubrious and refreshing summer breezes as they are wafted over the park and terraces. It is but an act of justice to the directors and managers to state that the refreshments and wines supplied at the dejeuner, entirely from the company's own cuisine and stores, were of the finest and most recherché character, and Mr. Horne is entitled to great praise for the ad mirable and very complete manner in which, under novel circumstances and with many difficulties to contend with, the whole of the necessary arrangements were car ried into effect.

DEJEUNER TO THE REPRESENTATIVES OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES. On Saturday the opening of the Crystal Palace was duly celebrated by a grand dejeuner in the. building, by the directors and shareholders of the company; to the va rious representative's of foreign Governments who were present at the opening of the palace on the previous Saturday. The invitations to the dejeuner included, in addition to the distinguished foreigners themselves, a. very large proportion of the aristocracy, and many per sons of eminence in art, science, and literature. The company was a most briliant one, and the attendance of visitors must have been highly gratifying to those who have devoted their valuable time and- attention to the completion of the vast undertaking. The fete was given in the basement story of the building; in the part to be hereafter occupied by machinery in motion, and pro bably not less than six hundred persons partook of the liberal and recherché hospitality of the directors and shareholders. Among the guests present we noticed the Duchess of Montrose, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Argyll, the Earl and Countess Howe, the Baron De Morny, the Countess Lavradio, the Sicilian Minister,• the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the - Lord Chief Justice the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., Mr. Bernal Osborne ' " M.P. ; the Earl and Countess of Chichester Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Stanley, M.P. ; Sir J. and Lady Pakiiigton, M.P., Sir J.

The healths of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family having been drunk with enthusiasm. Mr. S. Laing, M.P. (the Chairman) proposed the health of the foreign guests. In proposing the toast, he could not but regret that, owing to the necessity of holding a Cabinet Council that day, they had been de prived of the company of a distinguished and accom plished nobleman, Lord Granville, than whom no one could more appropriately have represented England in the eyes of the foreign commissioners. The duty had unavoidably devolved upon him, in his official capacity as chairman of am company, to propose the toast ; and be thought he should best discharge his duty by confining himself to the simple remark that, among the many beneficial influences of the Great Exhibition of 1851, which had originated the present undertaking, none was more important than the perpetuation of the humanis ing influences which had brought the representatives of all the nations of the earth in peace and good-will together, and which had been exerted so conspicuously on that occasion (Cheers) He looked upon that as one of the greatest triumphs of their modern civilisa tion. (Cheers.) For many centuries the nations of the world had been kept asunder by a variety of hos tile influences. The religious wars of the 15th and 16th centuries, the political wars of the 17th and 18th cen turies, had the effect of separating the States of Europe into a number of hostile camps, where the people of every different nation regarded one another with the most absurd and inveterate prejudice, and where these prejudices, reflected by the action of the governments, involved them in long-continued acts of hostility and antagonism. (Cheers.) It had been one of the great features of this, the 19th century, to overcome these influences—to bring men to a better frame of mind, and to a state more becoming that brotherhood, which should exist in Christian and civilised nations. In looking at the causes that had produced that happy change, be thought the Macaulays and the Alisons of future ages would think upon two causes, which were embodiedland symbolised in the institution under the roof of which they were that day assembled. He thought they would say that the abandoning of mutual prejudices was owing in the first place to that enlightened system of commer cial legislation by which private industry was made free and allowed to exert its beneficial influence, and to that facility of mutual intercommunication, elected by the miraculous results of the application of steam to locomo tion, which had brought them upon visiting terms with their neighbours of France. (Loud cheers.) Much, too, was owing to those enlightened agencies which enabled them to speak to their brethren at Berlin or Vienna, through the medium of the electric telegraph, and have a reply on the same day, thus uniting the nations of the world into one happy family, and drawing them more closely together than .the pipvincial towns of England were when he and he was not an old man—first recollected the state of the country. There was then more isolation between York and Manchester, and Liverpool and the metropolis, than there was at present between London, Paris, Berlin, Vi en na, and other continental cities. (Hear, hear.) It afforded him and his colleagues the greatest sa tisfaction to see around them the distinguished represen tatives of so many foreign countries, assembled to do homage to the universal idea of peace and brotherhood which they wished to shadow forth in their present in stitution. (Hear.) He saw on the right hand the re presentative of a most gallant and distinguished nation, which had been long their chivalrous enemy, now he hoped, for long ages to come, their firm and faithful ally. (Tremendous cheering.) Nor could he close his refer ence to that gallant nation without a brief allusion to that merciful interposition of Providence—for he could call it by no other name—which, in the present alarming contingency of European politics, had placed at the head of that great nation the remarkable man who had ce• mented the alliance between France and England by his straightforward and consistent conduct. (Renewed cheering.) On his left hand, he saw the representative of that great German nation of whom he was sure Eng lishmen would never speak but as brethren, as branches with themselves of the great Teutonic family, and any contest that would divide them from that great German brotherhood would be indeed parricide. It gave him' great pleasure to see among the representatives of fo reign nations and governments present a representative of that young and chivalrous emperor, whose gallant, straightforward, and honourable conduct at this mo mentous crisis had removed, he trusted, for ever those misunderstandings and clouds which, to their mutual de triment, had prevailed between England and Austria. (Great cheering.) United with these representatives he saw a distinguished nobleman on his left, the worthy representative of Italy—the country of art—(great applause)—to which they were indebted for so many of those marvellous productions which delighted them in the structure over their heads. (Cheers.) He saw the representative of Belgium, a country whose monarch was closely allied with their own Royal Family by ties of kindred—a nation small in extent, but famous for its historical association, and the triumphs of its industrial inhabitants—a nation which he was sure Eng land would always greet and see with the utmost satis faction attending meetings of that description. He saw, also, near him, the representative of a nation united with them by still closer ties of consanguinity_the represen. tative of the great United States of America--(cheering) —of that younger brother of John Bull, of whom, of all the many productions of John Bull's industry, he had the greatest reason to be proud. (Cheers and laughter.) He saw around him the representativ es of many other distinguished European States, and he hailed their pre sence on that day, because it showed that Europe asso ciated itself with that movement, and with that idea which, working in the minds of a few plain practical Englishmen, had been responded to by all the m ost dis tinguished persons assembled ar ound him. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he would simply advert to one circumstance which had occurred since their last meeting, when the nations of the earth were gathered together in the Great Exhibition building of 1851. At that period it was inot n deed a Temple of Peace. Thep olitical horizon was overshawdowed by a single cloud, and at that time it appeared to all of them as if they were then entering on a new Augustan era, in which the peace of the world stood above all apprehension of being disturbed. Since then an unlooked for change bad occurred. Their fairest aspirations and happy visi ons of peace had disappeared. War, with all its horrors, bad burst upon them ; and al though he deeply deplored that it had been occasioned by the ambition of a single individual, there was some consolation in feeling on this occasion that it was a proud spectacle to show to the world that the aggres sion of an isolated ambition was powerless, not only to prevail in arms against England and their gal lant allies, but that it was impotent even for a single moment to arrest the march of civilization, or stay those peaceful ideas which had been conceived in hap pier times, with the view of carrying out the objects of universal peace and brotherhood among all nations, and that, in spite of war, they had not been interrupted, and they might hope to see them carried to a successful( conclusion. (Cheers.) With that sentiment he begged to call upon them to show their foreign guests how Englishmen celebrated a toast in order to do it honour. Let them drink with true enthusiasm, and three hearty English cheers, the toast of their " Foreigh Guests." The whole company rose, and responded to the toast in the most enthusiastic manner. Count LESSEPS rose and spoke in French to the fol lowing effect :—ln the names of the foreign commis sioners I have the honour to thank the directors of the Crystal Palace for their cordial hospitality. I have also the honour of proposing a toast to England and to its union with France. (Cheers.) This union is the alli ance of force and reason. It is also the pledge of the peace of the world. (Loud cheers.) Its first object has been to establish before the eyes of all the evidence of its justice. You know bow it has obtained the victory. Public opinion has prociaiined it in a manner the most striking. All honour to England and to France for awaiting this end before having recourse to the force of arms. (Great cheering.) As soon as this new and ter rible recourse had become an imperative necessity, they have not hesitated, and you also well know with what wonderful vigour they have set to work and launched mighty squadrons—such as were never before sent out from their ports —against the ,eoaitti of 1W0.% in the BONUS TO SHAREHOLDERS TOME COUNTIES AND METROPO LITAN FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.

Sir George Grey having accepted the office of Secre tary for the Colonies, his re-election as member for Morpeth took place to-day in the Town Hall, Morpeth, in the presence of a large number of the electors, the Mayor (Nicholas Wright, Esq.) presiding. After the usual ceremonies had been gone through, Thomas Jobling, Esq., nominated the right hon. baro net ; and this having been seconded by James Hood, Esq. the Mayor too a show of hands, and declared that ' Sir George Grey was duly elected. Sir GEORGE GREY then stood forward, and, after thanking the electors for replacing in his hands that trust he received from them 18 months ago, said, that in ad dressing them on that occasion, he had not any n e w political principles to announce, and that being so he thought it would be a waste of time to repeat from that place those opinions which on the hustings at the county of Northumberland election, or in that hall as their representative, they had heard on former occasions in confirmation of those opinions with which he endeavoured to guide his parliamentary con duct. During 22 years of his public life his conduct had been before his fellow-countrymen, for in that time he had taken an active part in conducting public affairs ; but if he thought it not necessary to allude to the past, there were two points, although of unequal i mpor t a nce, upon which be would beg to offer a few observations. The first related to his own personal position, and the other, which was of far more im portance, had reference to the present state of affairs of the country, as contrasted with that which existed when he was first returned as their representative. With re gard to the first point, he must observe that when he first addressed them as a candidate for that borough, he did so in a private capacity, and as a neighbour residing not far distant from them, and whose interest was in common with themselves, and as such he sought their suffrages from a desire to co-operate with them in pro moting the moral and social improvement of the country although at that time he was totally unconnected with the administration of the Earl of Aberdeen, which then had only been just formed. They, however, might remem ber that at that time he said that that administration comprised men who, although they were never collected together in a cabinet before, yet nevertheless held opinions approximating one with another, and who be came united at the end of that great contest for com mercial freedom which terminated in December, 1853, by the resignation of the Earl of Derby's government. Many of those hon. gentlemen, finding themselves in a position to fight the battle of free trade, and having suc ceeded in winning a victory over Lord Derby's govern ment, felt themselves called upon to co-operate with each other, not only in displacing the government, but in sup porting the Crown and the constitution, by forming and carrying on the administration of the country upon principles on which they were all agreed. (Applause.) That administration possessed some hon. gentlemen with whom throughout his life he had cordially acted on terms of political and private intimacy; while there were others whose talents, experience, and zeal for the interest of their country no one could doubt who watched their conduct , and he (Sir George) felt bOund to state that when that Government was first formed he had the offer of becoming one of its members. He, how ' ever, felt himself at liberty to decline the invitation, and that, too, on grounds perfectly consistently with his public duty ; not that he objected to the principles of that administration, as he did not go to Parliament with any blind intention to support it, but from their broad declaration of principles he felt determined at once to give a generous and general support. (Applause.) This pledge he trusted he had fulfilled, as he had been enabled during the time he had been the representative of that borough to support the general policy of the Earl of Aberdeen's administration. The hon. baronet, after briefly noticing how he was deprived of taking part in the great and last struggle for free trade by losing his seat as a member for Northumberland, referred to having received a communication from the Earl of Aberdeen in September last, requesting his acceptance of the office of Secretary for the Home Department ; but being then still reluctant to take office, he begged to be relieved from the anxiety and responsibilities of it, and he was glad this was acceded to, by the acceptance by Lord Palmerston of an office which he had retained with great ability and success, From that time he had not been called to the performance of any duty, excepting that which devolved upon every individual member who had a seat in the legislature of his country—namely, the dili gent attendance to his duties, in which he thought every member member ought to take a great interest. Recently, however, it was with regret that he found himself again invited by a new distribution of office, arising from the present state of affairs to enter upon the duties of office. Before doing so lie considered the question put to him, and he did so in the light of submitting the desires of those friends to whose wishes and services he had a lways deferred, and acting, after due deliberation, upon such opinions generously expressed, he determined not to decline a proposal made to him for a third time. If, however, he had consulted his own feelings and per sonal convenience, he should certainly have declined the honour intended him ; but feeling that, on calm conside ration, and under the conviction that a man could not always judge best of what was his duty, he had endea voured thus to make up his mind, lest he might be con sidered guilty of political cowardice, or an undue regard to his own parliamentary ease and convenience. (Ap plause.) Standing, therefore, as he then did, as a mem ber of her Majesty's Government, he did so under a deep sense of the great responsibility attached to the arduous duties he was called upon to fulfil. With regard to the second subject he had before adverted to, and which was of immense importance, he would then offer a few remarks. He had already said that there was a great contrast between the state of public affairs when he was first elected a member for that borough with that which then existed. At that time the nation was in a state of profound peace, and the minds of the people were ex clusively occupied by the extension of trade and com merce. A profound peace then prevailed, but which certainly was threatened to be disturbed by some vague apprehensions from the agitated condition which a power ful and neighbouring country was the subject of ; but these happily passed away, and England was then in close and intimate alliance with France. (Applause.) That unfortunately was not the only change in their circumstances. They had exchanged for peace, long en joyed, a state of war, of which none could foresee the termination. They knew they had enjoyed the hies sings of peace for at least 40 years—a period marked signally by all the results of peace, viz., by a progress unexampled in any public history, either in political, social, or commercial progress. (Applause.) But then they were enaged in war, and he could not but express his deep regret at such an occurrence, or rather the circumstances which rendered it imperative upon Government to advise the Sovereign of these realms to declare war. War itself was not a light evil ; nay, he might say that it was the greatest evil with which the human race could be afflicted ; but still war itself might become necessary even in the interests of peace ; and he stood before them, because the mind of that adminis tration was inspired with the conviction, in which he shared, and, he trusted, also was shared by every on( present, that it was not a war of cupidity, ambition, and aggression, or arising from the sinful love of commer cial glory, but in defence of a great cause, into which Government had been forced in accordance with the opinions of the great body of the people—to resist an over-weening ambition of a mighty and despotic power, and to stand in the gap in defence of the independence of Europe against that power. (Applause.) War was so much to be deprecated on every hand as to make it an impera tive duty of every Government to exhaust every means to prevent it, on behalf of thei r Soverei g n, their country,l;,! ion the world, before having recourse to an actual dee a n r t a of war ; and such a cou rse, he believed, the preseb vernment had adopted. No one, at least, could dou t t at it was with the greatest reluctance they involved the country in war, although some thought it necessary to censure them, because they were not mor . e ready than they were to enter into it at an earlier period than they did, to check the ambition and the projects of Russia. He, however, believed that the Government had acted a wise part, and one which became them in the emer gency, as Christians and as statesmen, in postponing the step they were at length compelled to take. (Applause.) But when war became inevitable, and the country em braced it, then there were two main objects which Government ought to set before themselves. The first w as they ought, because hacked by the people, to take the most effectual means for a vigorous prosecution of the war ; and, as the second greatly depended on the first, they ought to keep in view the great importance of bringing that war to a speedy termination consistently with the attainment of a just and honourable peace. (Applause.) With regard to the first object, true eco nomy, the interests of humanity, and a sound policy, alike demanded that the nation should put forth all its energies in order to a vigorous prosecution of the war. To wage war with inadequate means, and to attempt to make the people believe that the burden of it would not be heavy, would be a failure of duty on the part of Go vernment, tending to protract what they sought to abridge, deceive the people, and ultimately cause greater burdens to be imposed upon them than otherwise ever they would have had to bear. The Government, how, had not concealed anything from the people to prove that the war in which they w ere engaged could only be by great b e prosecuted with vigour Eknd efficiency W -onthe part of all clam ' it L sof the community. Th Al hit. therefore, at once called upon the people to, ,-....- them those burdens, in their own day, withont ', - -- , At.\. 7 ,0, them upon posterity, and had asked them ttite ~n tg1i,7 7.71/ fflac cF ;:v 97 4 ,7, means to make such efforts as were plMir; Rf'ra 7,-, great people and country, and which veoww , f— 1 A i, - f ---- colated to bring that war to a speedy of "", - tieit,,: :,,, 4 ,.:,44; k (Applause.) The representatives in th ri." .. .sit s - 4 ..; : tt 4 .4lN, Commons, actuated by the feelings of the lite le ex- r , - L _,, - pressed throughout the count r y , freel y granted tilt> sup.: 1. 4 plies requisite for the war, and measures had already been taken by sea and land. They had sent forth a fleet of such magnitude that few in the present generation could remember ever seeing proceed from this coun try ; a fleet provided with all the appliances which modern science could invent as aids in naval warfare, and commanded by gallant and determined British sea men. (Applause.) They had, likewise, sent forth a land army of no inconsiderable force to act in con junction with their allies in defence of the com mon principles of justice—a force comprising men bold, brave, and of determined bearing, who would, no doubt, distinguish themselves in any service, and who were commanded by a chief trained under the eye of the great Duke of Wellington, his early military friend and companion in arms, and who was associated with him to the close of the life of that great and lamented hero in the administration of the military affairs of this country. (Applause. The Government, therefore, had done all they could do, and all the people could expect them to do ; and there could be little doubt that whenever the services of either the fleet or the army were called upon, these gallant seamen and brave soldiers would maintain unimpaired the glory of the British flag and arms. (Loud applause.) The hon. baronet next proceeded to caution the nation against glorying in war, for the sake of it, or of bringing f ame to individuals, but to remember the misery it carried with it, either from victorious or defeated armies, and be desirous of a speedy peace —remembering the words of the greatest of English poets—that "Peace has her victories not less renowned than war." Let them then contrast the most successful wars with the results of those applications of mind in promoting domestic improvem en t s , and the social, moral, and, com mercial progress upon which the happiness of the people depended. And when he sa id that he did not wish to apply it to themselves, but extend his desires to the civilised globe, wherever the influence of Englishmen was felt, or where it could be exerted for the benefit of people in the most distant parts of the universe. (A-P• plause.) The hon, baronet, atter a few other general remarks, thanked them for the hearing they had given him, and concluded by pledging himself to a faithful dis charge of his duties. (Cheers.) SIR GEORGE GREY ON TILE WAR.. The speech of the new Colonial Secretary, Sir George Grey, on his re-election to the House of Commons, will startle many of those who were inclined to support him, and will assuredly revive many of the old dislikes to the Whigs. Sir George Grey narrates very circumstantially to his consti tuency the history of his repeated refusals to join the present Ministry—at a time, it will be recol lected, when they were struggling with difficulties —and the reasons which have induced him to join them now when they seem more safe in the saddle. This merely personal detail is a matter more in teresting to Sir George Grey than to anyone else, and may fairly pass without further comment than this—that the Colonial Secretary has a keen sense of the interests of Number One. The latter portion of the speech cannot be so easily passed over. It is, if one may use such a term with respect to a literary composition, "flabby." It wants body. It is the speech of an invalid—weakened by too much " coddling." Sir George Grey forgot seemingly that he was talking to common-sense Englishmen, or he would never have droned over the war as he did. People don't want a Minister who takes office, when we are in the midst of a war, to be repeating all the old talk about the miseries of war. We want Ministers who will prosecute the war vigorously, and bring it to a rapid and prosperous issue. " War was no slight evil," droned out Sir George Grey. Why who ever imagines now-a-days that war is not ? What is the meaning of this cuckoo-cry about the evils of war 7 Is it to disgust us with doing our duty by the war? Does Sir George Grey want to induce us to put up with a dishonourable peace? "It was, indeed, one of the greatest evils by which the human race Of course it is ; and therefore let us get out of it as soon as we can, by inflicting such a punishment upon the provoker of the war that be shall be glad to sue for peace on such terms as will ward off the evil for the next century. - Why, of all nations in the earth, do we need these constant allusions to the evils of war ? Don't we feel it in every shape ? Is not our legislation delayed? Are not our friends abroad. risking their lives ? Are we not paying heavily for every cannon-ball that is fired ? Are not prices high ? And is not the income tax doubled ? Why, again, does Sir George Grey think it necessary to address the English public on the necessity of pro viding heavily for the demands of the war ? "To make war without adequate means—to attempt to induce the people to believe that the burdens would not be great, heavy, severe, and general, would be an omission of duty on the part of the Government, and would only protract what we want to see abridged to the least possible period, and ultimately impose upon them greater burdens than they would otherwise be called upon to bear." To do the Go vernment justice, they never neglected this duty of telling the people how costly war would be. They were never weary of dwelling upon these points. This was one of the great cards of the friends of Russia in this country, and the Czar evi dently expected that it would play his game well. He thought that a nation of shopkeepers would be frightened at an appeal to their pockets. Has this been the result 7 Have the English people grum bled at any fair demand made upon them ? Why, then, this reiteration of the necessity of warning the people of the " great," " heavy, " severe, and "general" burdens they would have to bear If this is not the merest twaddle it has a most suspicious meaning in it. Is it intended to draw away the attention of the country from the beneficial results that a war vigorously and success : . fully carried out would procure, and fix it on the injurious effects it would have on their pockets! Let us hope that it is simple twaddle—pure inanity of the 'Whig Colonial Secretary. 'What follows is, perhaps, more absurd than what has been quoted. After adverting to the anticipation of the success that might attend our arms, the speaker continues —" In anticipating these successes, however, with which we hoped Providence would bless our fleets and our armies, they hAI to guard lost th© public feeling, which was naturally excited, should lead them to engage in a war for war's sake, or for the sake of the glory which war brought to the indivi dual and the countries. He trusted that that was ' a feeling against which the people of this country ' would be effectually guarded. It is difficult to speak harshly enough of this absurdity of " guard ing" the people of England against the danger that they become intoxicated with war and glory. There is not ono sane person in the country who looks upon war in any other light than as a great and in calculable evil—heroically dared for the sake of a great principle. Why, then, are we to be warned by Ministerial twaddlers not to become mad for the sake of what in itself is most distasteful ? If Sir George Grey has entered the Ministry to throw cold water upon the enthusiastic desires of a people to put down a war-making despot, he had much better have kept out of Downing-street. We don't want another member of the Cabinet to hold a brief for Russia. Lord John Russell was pulled down into the mire once before by this kind of " statesmanship," and will suffer a similar fate, unless he takes care to keep his Whig friends in. order.
