Treasurer —Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is aecom palled by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 1,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppaFt. to enable them to dmit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Ar 4 ph SYMPATHY WITHPOL Igt3o . --, Or, ta m Oit - 411 . 1),› Ur 0 nll.Oll PUBLIC MEE FING AT WOOLWICH.K. _ Last night at 8 o'clock a crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton and Plumstead was held at the Townhall, William-street, Woolwich, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Poles in their struggle to free themselves from the despotic yoke of Russia. Ihe chair was occupied by Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P., and at the commencement of the proceedings the following letter was read from Alderman S ilomons, : " I am availing myself of the Easter holidays to have a few days' run out of town, when I hope to return better able to give a closer attendance at the house than I have lately been enabled to do. Although unable to be present at the meeting, I can only express the hope that Woolwich lib-rally unite with heart and voice to give strength to our Government, in combination with the other great Powers r f Europe, to settle on some permanent satisfactory basis the Polish ques .ion.—l am, yours, Sce., " DAVID SALOMONS." The CHAIRMAN a erved—The gallant Polish nation uas now engaged in a deadly struggle with that despotic Power which Lad crushed them down for many years, and they well deserved the sympathy of every true friend to freedom. The cruel conscription which had taken place in that un happy country WAS with a view to kidnap th , se spirits who we - e considei.ed to 1, to RUSSi and the Poles had no other alternative 1, , ,t to oppose by force of arms the wickedness of their oppiess• rs. He was happy to find that the people of Scotland ware fully alive to the claims of Po land, and that Lord Palmerston had expressed the most liberal sentiments on the sal j ect. The noble lord had, during a long life, been celebrated for his exertions to promote liberal institutions on the Continent. He had proved this with regard to Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and he would be delighted to hold out a helping hand to Paland. It would be well, however, that Government should be allowed perfect freedom of action with regard to this question. If Govern ment was to follow a particular course recommended by Par liament, and that course failed to produce the desired result, then Government might blame Parliament. He therefore did not wish to see the Government relievedfrotn its respon sibility, and he sincerely hoped the affair would yet be so managed that the wrongs of Poland would be redressed. He believed that Lard Palmerston's Administration would do its utmost in favour of the Poles, although he concurred with. the opinion that the Government was wise not at once to • declare what mode of action it intended to adopt. Mr. Att ' gerstein concluded an excellent address by expressing plea • sure that Austria appeared willing to take a liberal view PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....M. telligence. Naval am THE NAVY. Letters received at Plymouth from the screw steam gun-vessel Cygnet, 5, Commander W. S. de Kant zow, state that she left Port Philip o nyeh. 2, and, aft. r a cruise of 11 days, arrived at Havannah on the 13 , h, and was appointed to leave on the 14th for another cruise. Tile crew were in good health. His Netherlands Majesty's screw corvette Soem bing, Capt. J. N. Siegt, sailed from Spitlaeed es te' day for Flushing. Previous to her departure Capt. Slegt was offi.:iaily introduced to the military and naval nut horitif s of the port and g errisort by the Chevalier van Den Bergh, the Netherlands Consul at Portsmouth. An additional body of mechanics and artificers from Chatham dockyard were yesterday placed on board the iron-plated frigate Royal Oak in order that the remaining work to be effected on board may be completed by the 20th inst., when, in compliance with instructions received from the Admiralty, she is to be ready to hoist the pendant. The Royal Oak has had 660 tons of coals placed on board, which has brought her down about 2ft. lower than her draught on the occasion of taking her trial trip, She has to receive ber armament, shell, powder, pro visions, and a considerable quantity of stores, which will increase her draught of water to about 20ft. aft, and 22ft. forward. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Kelly, Lieut. L. M. Mallet, Lieut. Wm. Walsh, and Lieut. the lion. A. D. S. Denison, to the Hannibal; Lieut. G. E. Price, to the Aboukir ; Lieut. P. H. W. Wayow, to the Archer; Lieut. J, R. Twysden, Lieut, H. Vaughan, Lieut. R. C. Gayer, Lieut. R. M Blomfield, and Lieut. 0. S. Titton, to the Canopus, respecting the Polish question. Mr. J. R. JOLLY moved the first resolution, " That Rus sia, by the violation of her engagements to Europe on behalf of Poland, and by her system of confiscation, exile, and massacre which has been carried out, has forfeited all right to the possession of that country." The speaker referred at some length to the past history of Poland, and contended that Russia had clearly broken the Treaty of 1815, which ought to be enforced by the great Powers of Europe. Eng land and France had maintained by force of arms the in tegrity of the Turkish Empire, and surely Poland was en titled to support during her present struggle. The Rev. J. M'CRAE, of Plumstead, seconded the reso • lution, which was supported. by Mr. W. ROBERTS, and unanimously adopted. The Rev. T. TUFFIELD moved, "That the present posi tion of Poland, in its subjugation by Russia, is inc,insistent with the general progress of the age, and this meeting hopes that the British Government, in concert with other European nations, will urge the liberation and independence of Poland." He reviewed the past struggles of the Poles for independence, and the iLanifold injustice and cruelty to which the nation had been subjected for a long series of years. It was time that the frea people of England spoke out upon this question ; and although he deprecated War, when it could possibly be avoided, it was necessary to urge upon Parliament and the Government that the wrongs of Poland ought to be redressed. Mr. BOOTH seconded the motion, which was supported in an eloquent and argumentative address by Mr. WHITE, and unanimously adopted. Mr. CUNNINGHAM moved, and Mr. C. TAYLOR seconded, "That the sympathy of the British nation, always mani fested in the cause of liberty and civilisation, is deeply in favour of the success of the brav e Poles in their present struggle, and that a subscription be opened in aid of the present movement." The resolution was ably supported by Messrs. A. GA.BIENI and T. WAREIKI, Polish exiles, who expressed a favour able opinion as to the ultimate success of the present con test, and stated that Poland had hosts of men to fight for liberty, but they required the sinews of war—the means of providing arms. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings. THE ARMY. The hired sailing transport,Elizabeth Ann Bright, Commander Starkey, sailed from Portsmouth at 10 a.m. yesterday for New Zealand, with the head quarters of the 2d Battalion 18th Regiment (Royal Irish) on board. She left Spithead with the wind at N. by W., and with every prospect of a favour able run clear of the Channel. The names of the officers and the total numbers embarked are as fol low :—Lieut.-Co). A. A. Chapman, in command : Capts. J. Inman, R. P. Bishop, G. T. King, F. Fearnley, and E. A. Noblett ; Lieuts- T. C. Wray, J. A. J. Briggs, T. J. Corrie, W. J. Croft, G. A. Nicholls, C. G. Minnitt, J. J. R. Russell, and W. F. Thacker; Ensigns J. B. Jackson, A. J. A. Jackson, T. G. Butts, B. G. Hainee, C. G. Philips, F. G. Pringle, H. D. Bicknell, C. Dawson, and W. E. Chapman ; Adjt. R. W. E. Dawson, Quartermaster J. Stoneforth, Surgeon G. W. Peake, Assist.-Surg. Barry, Paymaster C. J. Heatley. Officers' families —Mrs. Chapman, five children, and one servant; Mrs. Peake, two children, and one servant ; Mrs. Heatley, six children, and one servant ; Mrs. Stain forth and Mrs. Wray. The non-commissioned offi cers, men, women, and children were 34 sergeants, 11 drummers, 617 privates, 'l9 women, and 114 children. The Elizabeth Ann Bright is a fine ship of 1,919 tons register, North American built ; her height between decks is—poop, 6ft. ; maindeck, sft. Bin.; and lower deck, 6ft. Bin. She carries seven boats, estim ,ted according to the transport regula tions, to carry 200 persons, two of which are fitted with Clifford's lowering apparatus. Her stock of water at starting is of limited quantity, as she is fitted with two of Dr. Normanby's patent distilling condensers, which condense I,OCO gallons of water in the 24 hours. The accommodation is good below, and to render ventilation perfect she carries two of Danks's patent blower ventilators. On deck, how ever, the arrangements are not so satisfactory, the entire deck being crowded with cabins, cook h,:uses, watercasks,and other fixings,leaving no room for the large number of men, women, and children on board when turned up from the troop deck, that it may be cleared for sanitary purposes. This is, however, the only objection which can be urged against the Elizabeth Ann Bright as a hired Government troop ship, yet we trust never to see such a mistake re peated by the Transport Board in their hiring of ships for the transport of troops to distant stations. It seems a pity that some of the thousands of sea men belonging to the Royal navy, who are now em ployed in convict and ordinary labourers' work in our dockyards (and who are fast exchanging the active habits of seamen for the well-known lazy dockyard trot), could not be put on board a few of the sailing vessels now lying idle and utterly use less in our harbours, and employed in the exchange of troops between England and the colonies. This is said in no spirit of carping at the employment of our merchant shipping on so necessary a work, but simply because at the present time there are num bers of vessels the names of which stand on the Ad miralty official navy list lying idle in our harbours, and costing no inconsiderable sum for their yearly maintenance,with some thousands of seamen losing their smartness and ability as seamen by dawdling the day through as labourers in the dockyards. Many cf the younger ruen scarcely know how to reef a topsail. The Elizabeth Ann Bright brings home the headquarters of the 65th Regiment from New Zealand. The Hotspur, Indiaman, Capt. H.Toynbee, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Calcutta, and landed passengers. Her military invalids were transferred to Government steamers and sent to the Royal Mi litary Hospital at Netley, with the exception of one insane soldier, who was forwarded to Chatham. A detailed account of the military and private passen gers arrived in the ship, with the dates of sailing and ships spoken on the voyage, &c., was given in The Sun yesterday in the report of the ship's arrival off Portland. The Hotspur sailed again in the afternoon for London. Notice has been given at Chatham, from the Horse Guards, that the next examination of candi dates for -Erect commissions will commence at Chel sea Hospital on May 4, before Major-Gen. F. W. I Hamilton, C.B , Vice-President, and the other mem bers of the Council of Military Education. The exa mination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, under the regulations dated Horse Guards, May 1, 1862, will commence on June 22 ; and the examination of candidates for commissions in the Royal Artillery and Royal En pired men gineers for admission to the Royal Military Ace; demy, Woolwich, under regulations dated May 6 ' St. Mary's 1852, on July 2. The examination of candidariteco o n admission to the Staff College will comet July 2. d when 22 non • invalid depot, Chatham, g and of • various cavalry commissioned officers " were f an T d h i e nv las al t id o and infantry regiments t f r t o h o e p s detac h ment s w e re forwarded either to heir respective corps or,. in the case of those tun fitted for further service, to their homes. With the exception of a few of the officers and non-corn miss i n eed officers connected with the Staff, the en tire invalid establishment at Chatham has been transferred to the new military hospital at Netley. The only officers belonging to the depot who ere still retained at Chatham are Col, H. S. Shaw, the superintendent, Col. J. F. De T • eSpst"etCorif;ftetydi,ll:o: elf4BlCr, and Major J• H. Matthews (paymaster). During the last few days a numberof troops have been engaged in clean ing the quarters at Sr. .Mary's Barracks, which will accommodate 1,000 officers and men in readiness for their being occupied by any troops arriving from abroad. The 109th Bombay Infantry is shortly ex pected to arrive from India, and will probably be quartered at Chatham, should no order be received for their being forwarded on landing to any other station. Oersted's great experiment, step by step, has been deve loped, until the latest improvem ents have given us the un failing magnetic telegraph. Herri n g' s magnetic brushes and combs are now so perfected that they a e unfailing in restoring the colour to grey hair , and curing neuralgia and nervous headache.

Riddell Mr. R. Riddell Mr. Saxon Mr. J. Scott Mr. F. Swiniel Well, then, 1 come to your manufacturers. They said, If you let in the produce of foreign industry nobody will buy ours, and we shall be reduced to beggary.' Why, every reduction which has been made in those Customs duties which are levied upon the importation of foreign commodi ties and the produce of foreign industry has necessarily led to a larger exportation of the British industry. (Cheers.) No foreign nation will send us their goods for nothing; tney expect to be paid for them. The trade between nations is a trade of barter; of exchange of commodity for commo dity, and, therefore, every amount of importation of foreign commodities into this country must, by consequence, carry wi' h it a corresponding export of equal value of the produce of the industry of the people of these is.ands. (Cheers.) Never, therefore, was the produc ive maLufacturing indus try of the country mole thriving ihan it has been since that liberal system of commerce has been introduced. And, whereas, some years ago—l believe 10 or 15 years ago—the aggregate value of the exported commodities of the , ountry was about 60 millions, I believe tuat in the last year and the year before it amounted to 130 millions a most s riking proof that the liberal spirit of commerce, so far from crush ing and extinguishing the manufactures of the country, has, in fact, doubled the demand for them in other parts of the world. (Cheers.) Well, then, there is the shipping inte rest, and we were told, when we wanted to liberalise that part of our industry, when we proposed to take off those re strictions upon the purchase of foreign vessels which had long been considered by builders of ships as the security by which alone they could expect to derive any profit—we were told that we were ruining the shipping interest, and a most distinguished member of that interest, then a member of the House of Commons, used to adjure us almost witli tears in his eyes to abstain from inflicting ruin upon so merito rious a class and description of men. (Laughter and cheers.) What do we see now ? We see all your maritime ports where private enterprise and capital are constructing those mag nificent vessels that are to ride proudly over the waves, and to carry your riches to every part of the world and bring back equal returns, we see them crowded with workmen ; our ears are dinned with the busy hum of industry ; we see their docks and building yards filled with vessels in dif ferent stages of construction. In fact, we find that th se nations—the Swedes, the North Americans, and the nations of the Baltic, who, it wassaid, would outdo us in shipbuild ing and deprive our shipbuilders of their market at home — we have bound them coming to England to buy ships — coming to this country, where the shipbuilding industry was to be ruined and destroyed—coming here instead of building at home. And why ? Because here they find better skill, better labour and accommodation by the operations of commerce, of all the elements of shipbuilding, and they find that they could in the United Kingdom procure better and cheaper and more lasting ships than they could make in their own country, which was the object of so much alarm. (Cheers.) lam speaking now of the time when men thought that wood was the only material which would float upon water, when they believed that iron was too heavy and would go to the bottom, (Laughter.) That delusion has been dis pelled. Now we see almost all the vessels which carry the commerce of the country mainly built of iron. There are exceptions, I believe, in regard to the timber trade and some other branches of navigation, for which wooden vessels are still preferred—but the change from wood to iron nas been most advantageous to the shipbuilding interest of this coun try, and more especially that of the Clyde and Forth, be cause here you have those elements, here you have that iron corresponding with the timber that grew in the Baltic and America—here, too, you have the coal b which that iron is to be worked. You have every advantage, therefore — every advantage of natural material, and you have aso that advantage for which you are eminent above all the nations of the world—namely, the advantage of mechanical skill and persevering labour, and of accumulated capital by which that skill and labour can be brought to bear. Cheers.) Well, then, Mr. Provost, I accept with cor diality that testimony which you have offered me in words, and which this great town of Leith affords in visible objects, to the merit and truth of those principles of free trade which of late years have formed the foundation and the aim of the legislation of the country. (Cheers.) I trust that their prosperity, which is founded on those great natural advan tages—and when I say natural advantages I include not only those physical advantages of position and of access by water which you enjoy, but also those creative powers with which nature has endowed your people—l trust that these natural advantages wi-t carry you still further in that pro gress of improvement of which I have seen with such de light and satisfaction those great and remarkable specimens to-day. I can only hope that no Government which may succeed ours—for our Government I need make no promises, because we refer you to acts—l am persuaded that no Go vernment which, by the sanction and support of Parliament, can ever be placed in the seat of power will ever fait to pursue those principles of enlightened legislation by which your prosperity has hitherto been so greatly advanced, and by which I trust in future tines it is destined greatly to sur pass that which with delight and pride I have witnessed this day. (Cheers.) Mr. Provost and gentlemen, I beg again to thank you most cordially for the kind address you have presented, and for this magnificent reception, and I can as sure you that I shall carry with me from the town of Leith sentiments of the deepest gratitude for the kindness which its inhabitants have shown to n.e on this occasion." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The Provost then called for three cheers for Lord Palmerston, and three cheers were also given to the Provost for presiding. The company then proceeded to the rown- hall, where refreshments were served. Mr. Miller, M.P., in a few apt terms, proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Palmerston for his kindness and condescension in paying a visit to the burgh, and expressed an earnest hope that his lordship might still be long spared to guide the councils and protect the interests of the nation. He concluded by proposing the " Health of Lord Palmerston," which was drunk with every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm. Viscount PALMERSTON, in returning thanks, said " I assure you I feel very deeply the kind reception which I have met with in Scotland during my visit, and gratify ing as has been the kindness manifested towards me in every place, I must say it has not been greater than that I have experienced to-day. You are quite right in saying that oc casional visits of men who are engaged in active pursuits of Government to those great national seats of industry of which Leith is a prominent member must be attended with great advantage to both parties. In the first place, men, to know each other and value each other, must come into per sonal contact, because whatever may be their good qualities known at a distance they are not to be compared in effect with the result of personal intercourse and knowledge face to face, and with the minute details on both sides which can only be acquired by that personal intercourse. I can assure you, so far as we are concerned, that much as every man in public life must be proud of the country whose affairs he is called to manage, that pride is infinitely increased when he goes to those grew; seats of industry and sees the v. - cnderful development of intellect, enterprise, and skill, the success ful application of which itself is the result of former success. You have been pleased to say that men in public life ought not to be valued simply for the gifts which nature may have bestowed on them, but for tha use to which those gifts may have been applied. Well, I say the same thing with regard to the great seats of commercial and manufacturing indus try. You have had great gifts of nature bestowed upon you, and I am proud to say you have nobly applied them ; and I trust that by a continued application of those gifts you will rise to a still higher point of eminence than that is which I am glad to see you placed this day. (Cheers.) I beg to thank you for your kindness, and drink your hearths in re turn." (Applause.) The noble lord then proposed " Provost Lind say," who replied. His lordship was then conducted to the railway station, and proceeded to Edinburgh. In the evening he dined with the Lord Advocate ; to-morrow his lordship will attend Divine service at the English chapel, and proceed afterwards to the residence of Sir Gibson Craig. On Saturday his lordship leaves for London. uaemsbiliptiateldntehiso eydebarsvoniunevi A PUBLICAN OUTWITTED.—During the pas\ y week, in a village not 100 miles from Cloughaneely, a well-known manufacturer of the " mountain dew," who appeared to labour under considerable dread of the guar dians of the Board of Inland Revenue, presented himself to a publican with a keg which had not paid the Govern ment duty, declaring it to be rectified potheen which w uld carry "two in one."

LORD PALMERSTON AT LEITH. - A WINDFALL—At a sale of old naval stores which took place at Hanlbowline, a few days since, a woman residing on the island purchased an old sailor's jacket for a small sum. On examininr the article she found concealed in the lining two £5 Bank of England notes and a bank order for £9O. The order appears to be genuine, and as no claimant has or is likely to turn up for the money she will probably reap all the advantage of her good for tune. Considerable disappointment was occasioned by the discovery to another bidder for the article, who had kept up a spirited contest with the purchaser, and who had only been outbid by 3d.—Cork Herald. THE MALT DUTIES.—On the 14th April,accord ing to present arrangements, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will receive a deputation from the central society for the reduction of the malt duties. 1' is rumoured that the much-vaunted surplus of two or three millions on which the Chancellor was to operate this year has become already very considerably attenuated, and that the hopes of all ex pectant interests—even those of the insurance companies— have great l y declined.

This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Viscount Palmerston paid a visit to L-ith, where great preparations were made for his reception. Across the main streets arches were erected and flags trained, and great, crowds from both Edinburgh and Leith crowded the aver ties by which he appronohed the town. The Provost met his Lordship shortly after 2 o'clock, and, accompanied by Mr. Miller, the member for the burgh town, showed the Premier round the docks, and explained to him the grand Frojt-cted improvements iu the harbour and docks situate on this portion of the estuary of the Forth. At half past 3 o'clocx Lord Palmerston, preceded by the Provost, magistrates, and council of the burgh, en tered the new building called the Corn-Exchange of Leith, in which between 800 and 900 ladies and gentlemen had assembled to welcome his Lordship, and nothing could be more cordial than his recep tion. Among those present were the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr. Miller, M.P., Mr. Black, M.P., Sir William Dunbar, M.P., Sir D. Brewster, Pro fessor Syme, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, &c. The Provost of Leith having taken the chair, His LORDSHIP called on the Town Clerk to read the address of congratulation voted by the corpora tion, which referred to some of the more salient points of the noble lord's character and administra tion, which were received with much cheering by the assemblage. Viscount PALMERSTON, who was received with great cheering, said : " I beg to assure you that I am deeply sensible of the kindness which has led you to invite me to this distinguished meeting, and which has prompted those expressions of ap probation and kindness which are contained in the address that I have just had the honour to receive. (Cheers.) Nothing can be more gratifying to those who are engaged in the public service than receiving expressions of approval on the part of enlightened communities in this country. (Cheers,) And when you, Mr. Provost, and the municipa lity of the town, in that address point especially to those measures which in recent times have tended to encourage the development of the productive interest and the commer cial enterprise of the country I must feel that there is no community better entitled to appreciate any benefit which may have been conferred upon the country in that direction than those which have been conferred on the people of the town of Leith. (Cheers.) I have been happy enough to re ceive flattering demonstrations of personal regard and that approval of g.neral conduct from those parts of Scotland I have visited before coming here. I received them on the banks of the Clyde, and I should indeed have been mortified if I had not received them also on the banks of the Forth— (cheers) —and I am glad to find that if the waters of the Clyde were warm and refreshing, those of the Feet th were equally worthy of the appellation. (Cheers.) It is now, gen tlemen, many long years since I visited the town of Leith. The great features of nature remain as they were ; your noble estuary is, as then, open to receive every friendly visitor, and open also for the departure of your vessels to every quarter of the globe. That gallant island Inchkeith still rises gloriously from the waters of the Forth. Your beautiful prospects are still bounded by those picturesque hills of Fiteshire which are the admiration of you all. Your links are not perh so crowded with golf-players as they used to be—(cheers) —because that game, I am told, has somewhat migrated towards the no th. Your sand, lam told, are not so much trodden by the heels of racing coursers as they used to be—(cheers)—but there they stilt are for pleasure, for rect . , alien, and your noble waters afford equal advantage for health in bathing. (Cheers and laughter.) There is one lamentable exception. There is that unhappy water ef Leith. (Laughter.) Would for its sake it were the waters of Lathe—(renewed laughter)— that it might forget its former glories and the happiness of its former days; but there it is, like the lost rose of summer (laughter)—left mourning alone ; all its lovely companions— namely, the old trading smacks—now faded and gone. (Much laughter and cheering.) In the days of which I speak its muddy bottom was covered at low water with a great accu mulation of very small and indifferent le ooden ships. They are gone ; peace go with them ! But, though the great features of nature are unchanged, I should hardly know the Leith of former years. Whatever way I turn there are traces and results of enlightened intelligence, of ample and well guided expenditure of capital, of successful and skilful per severance, and your town, which at that time could not rank high among those communities which were placed by na ture on the banks of admirable estuaries, now deserves to be classed in the first rank of British ports. (Cheers.) I have traversed to-day with the greatest delight those splendid docks which of late years have been the creation of your genius and your industry ; and it is a proud satisfaction to the people of Leith to know that they have built the finest docks for the reception of vessels and for their repair which exists in any part. at least of this eastern coast, of the king dom. (Cheers.) You have a dock 400 feet lon g , wi thin 20 feet big enough to receive even the Warri or and the Bl ack Prince but large enough to repair all the oth er shi p s of her Majesty's navy, if they should require, i n con sequence of any dis a st e r rd but I have h a d s h own either of tempest or of action, to com e to y our friendly port for wh repair. i re ch flt s t h in ou g ld o c r ontentina o Well, mthis ans a noble w or k— one to me a plan which you contemplate carrying into execution on a much larger scale, which will afford basins and docks almost unrivalled, except perhaps by the great towns of Liverpo 1 and London. (Cheers.) I trust you will be able to accomplish this, and to your honour be it said that all you have, and I believe I may assert also all you are going to do, has been done by the expenditure of your own capital and money, the product of your euccessful enterprise and industry, and therefore it is doubly bsnourable to you, and more advantageous it will be in the end than if it had been the result of donations from other parts of the empire. (Cheers.) Your worthy provost has adverted to the course which this and preceding Governments have pursued in regard to the commerce of this country. Well, there was a time when it was believed that the interest and the profit of the few were to be preferred to the interest and advantage of the many ; many mortoplies were held to be sacred things, not to be touched by the profane hands of innovation ; when exclusive privileges and protection were considered to be the foundation of the national prosperity and I remember a very enlightened foreigner talking to me upon the subject maintaining, and I was unable to convince him of his errer, that it was all very well for England to counsel liberality of commerce and the abolition of restric tions and protection, these being the ladder by which in his opinion she had risen to greatness a nd prosperity, and that we were acting a treacherous part to other countries by advising them before they had reached our eminence to cist away the m 2ana by which alone we had reached that sum mit. Why,' I told him, you are very much mistaken. You are taking the very wrong end of your argument These restrictions which you say are the means of our greatness have retarded its accomplishment. (Ch eers .) They have been the obstacles which have prevented the earlier development of the natural energies and resources of the country ; but you now, by persisting in following our steps in error, will only be longer in arriving with us at the summit of truth.' (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, strong and successful in point of argument as those were who advo cated free trade and unrestricted exchange of commodities with other countries, long was it before practical men could be convinced of the truth. We were told, ' This is all very well in theory, but we are practical men ; you are theorists and idle dreamers ; practical men alone are those who are capable of judging of the effect of legislation upon human affairs.' Well, it has often well been said that the practi cal man was the greatest theorist, only he was a bad theo rist; that he founded his opinions upon a theory which he had based upon narrow induction and upon a mistaken view of the foundations upon which theories ought to rest ; that those whom he called theorists founded their opinions upon a larger and more rational view of things ; that they, therefore, were right, and that he consequently was wrong. (Hear, hear.) Well, great and obstinate was the battle fought between these theorists and these practical men, commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural ; all thought that these theorists were their bitterest enemies; that their theories if carried into practice would be the ruin of all the industry of the country, and therefore they resisted them, as it were to the death. Well, their re sistance was vain, but their death was not the consequence of their defea' - . (Laughter.) Look around in every direcs lion, traverse your agricultural districts, see those fields that you were told were to be left barren and uncultivated the moment that the country was to be deluged by the importation of foreign corn. What error is often comprised in and imported by the misapplication of a word, and be cause ' deluge' is a word that conveys the idea of the sub mersion of land by water and the extinction of all life and property the application of tho word ' deluge' to the importation of the staff of life created a prejudice in the minds of men, and they said, For Heaven's sake, don't bring upon us a second deluge in the shape of importation of the staff of life; Well, look at your agricultural dis tricte. See what new life has been inspired by the compe tition which the abolition of the corn laws has produced ; how science has been brought to the aid of agriculture, how machinery, which never before was thought applicable to the cultivation of land has been largely and most beneficially introduced for the purpose ; and talk now to the owners and the renters of land and they will tell you, if they are men capable of conviction, ihat they see their error; that they would not have protection back again if it could be bestowed upon them; that they admit the advantages which have accrued even to them by the extension of the commercial intercourse of the country with other nations. (Cheers.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. -April 2. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Under Sheriff Burchell and a Jury.) GAMBART V. SCLATER. This was an action brought in the Court of Common Pleas under the 17th George 111., c ha p . 57, and the Bth George IV., chap. 113, for an infringement of the copyright of the engraving " The Light of the World." The damages were laid at £5OO, and the defendant, who resided at Canterbury, having allowed judgment to go by efault, a writ of inquiry was executed to assess the amount to be awarded. Mr. Biron appeared as counsel for the plaintiff ; the de fendant was not represented. In opening the case to the jury the learned counsel said that the plaintiff, Mr. Ernest Gambart, was the well-known printseller in Pall-mall, and was a great promoter of art. He had published engravings of Eliza Bonheur's " Horse Fair," Frith's "Darby Day," and Holman Hunt's "Find ing the Saviour in the Temple," and "The Light of the World," by the same painter. It was in respect of the last picture that the present action was brought. Mr. Gambart had expended large sums on the works, and they had been photographed, and sold at very small sums —from ls. to 10s. —when the price charged was from two guineas to 10 guineas. Mr. Gambart had sustained a very serious loss, and could not account for the decrease in the sale of the "Light of the World," which had been one of his most successful productions, until he discovered that it had been copied and sold by such persons as the defendant in country places. The defendant was a shopkeeper in Canterbury, and boasted, when called upon, that he had sold a considerable number. The only remedy for Mr. Gambart was to bring the present action, and unless the jury gave substantial damages the great works of art would be pirated, and publishers, unless protected, would not embark in any enterprise on the subject, and the public would be the losers. A traveller named Lekvre proved the purchase of a pho tographed copy of " The Horse Fair" and " The Light of the World," at the defendant's shop at Canterbury for a few shillings ; and he told him he had sold a great many of them. Mr. Gambart stated that he had given Mr. H. Hunt 200 guineas for the privilege of engraving the picture of " The Light of the World." He had paid the engraver over 300 gs. as his fee, and £l3O to the owner of the picture for allowing the engraving to be made. With other expenses, including canvassing and advertisements, he had expended upwards of £2,000 in bringing out the print. The print had been published about three years ago, but he had been five years about it. The print was his most successful production, and he realised the first year about LIO,ON. He discovered that about two years ago there was a great falling off, which was not to be expected from t he success it had achieved, and ho ascertained that, with others of his productions, it had been , tha wa t s s c o a me e. one must m pr ti v t e photographed, and sold for a few shillings. He had sus tained a considerable loss. His prices were from one to eight ' o a f i P re a m ll- ar m k a ed ll him • and en to copy his productions was a serious injury to .. e Lord one occasion, when he consulted Sir R. Bethellbo (til tographed Chancellor) on the subject he preferred the p guineas. The manner in which photography had been need copy. end it was the public. printseller, urch get the advantage.

Photographers oould produce copies for i Mr saves, G n a d v e e r s heriff Sheriff The learned Under "great but had no doubt there was " great light in the World," whether it was the "light of the world" was another and a very different question.lld the loss Mr. Gambart was likely to sustain by having his pr i n ts copied. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell could not see how the ques tion could be asked, The defendant, represented, and he could no t see h ow it could be proved against him what • • injury Mr. Gambart had or was likely to sustain. The question was, what damages Mr: Gambart could recover • against the defendant, and not the injury i likely to accrue to Mr. Gambart photographing . by his pro f duction. Mr. Graves said tha te t oh t ob i rt n :e l tga t u , r s srak s la_c p ed r d i w n ihn tse atot llers were protected it would lead to the d. structiou of the trade, as one would give a large price for pertni,sion to engrave a picture. A resident at Canterbury named Ginger, who had acted as agent for the sale of the print, stated that he had ob tained subscribers to the amount of 70 guineas, and after the defendant sold copies by photography the sale fell off. He called on the defendant, and he abused him. He was now selling the copies. Mr. Under-sheriff Borchelt thought the jury should know what occupation the defendant tollowed, as it would assist them in estimating the damages to be awarded. It was proved that he was a shopkeeper and a maker of picture-frames. The learned Under-sheriff, in placing the case before the jury, told them tht.t the only question for their con sideration was the amount of damages to be awarded lion hrt had not for the infringement of the copyright, as, by allowing judgment to go by default, defendant had adm , i r t h te e d u h es. t , the plaintiff had a right of action against him The t akto the course of conduct he had aid for p the wo , k of plaintiff had stated the surn he had e p h sale had fallen off in art in question, and also that t being sold. hoe art copies Courtl o s s heve withas alnikaelsysestso. consequence of the p nwoats,thnooudgobutbpt.roaperd difficult caullitxaorn;etn, d e u,l d er tl u, ie n d ec e dx f . e p n g ia d L at use it could not be fairly He had not sat in that submitted against the defendail knowing that a man cou:d Court so many years withoutt X the damage he was likely to not be permitted to estima e further y that the jury were not there sustain.
