MR.

In all cases of his Letting Farms fur. Peardon charges tee Tenant only, and not the Landlo rd . articulars of Property for Sale and to be Let will be given personally. or forwarded free of charge. N.B.—Several Town and Country ResidenceS, Landed Properties, and Farms wanted to Rent and Purchase immediately. this time at Christchurch, except Sidney Herbert, ' who was at Oriel—Canning, Gladstone, Lord Lincoln, Ramsey, George Cornewall Lewis, Bruce. The latter, the subject of this notice, took a first class in Literis liumanioribusin 1832, and was shortly afterwards elected Fellow of Merton College, pro ceedin g M.A. in 1835. But a new career was soon to be open to him. George, Lord Bruce, his half-brother, died unmarried in 1840, and the young Fellow of Merton became heir to the earldom. In the fol lowing year he stood at the general election in the Conservative interest for Southampton ; and his success was one of the first fruits of Sir Robert 1) 'eet's tactics—the votes being for Lord Bruce (Tory) 648, for Mr. C. C. Marty n (Tory) 645, for Captain Mangles (Liberal) 554, for Mr. E. J. Hutchins (Liberal) 552. Ile was early called upon to prove his mettle in the House. Lord Melbourne's Ministry, long moribund, had thought fit to appeal to the country for a verdict in their favour, which had been denied them by the House of Commons, with universal approbation. Sir Robert Peet had now a chance of his revenge, and of realising the results of his memorable cry, " Register ! register ! register !" Oa the address Mr. Stuart Wortley moved, and Lord Bruce seconded, the famous amendment which brought the Viscount to the mis hap which even his friends had long foreseen. Lord Bruce said that, as representing an important com mercial town, he would not be silent at such a crisis. eHe attacked the Ministry for retaining office, and, while it was notorious that they did not possess the confidence of the country, for allowing the stream of dignities and emoluments still continually to well forth, and to well forth, as copioasly as, if not more profusely than, before. Did Lord John Russell say a word about surrendering his trust, having lost the reality of power ? In reference to an indignant remark of some Whig member about public honesty and candour, Lord Bruce replied with spirit and force, "In a day when all monopolies are denounced, I must be permitted to say that to my mind the monopoly which is most intolerable and odious is the pretension to a monopoly of public virtue." This remark was a home thrust. In the Lords the verdict had long gone ag a in s t the Ministry by a majority 0f72; in the Commons the division showed a majority of 91. Lord Bruce did not retain his seat in the House of Commons long, as his father's death and his suc cession to the title took him from the House. In 1842 he became Governor of Jamaica—a trouble some office—on the nomination of the present Earl of Derby. His predecessor in this office was Sir Charles Metcalfe, whose popularity had been so great that a new parish in the island was named after him. During the four years that he held office he carried out a conciliatory policy, such as had endeared his predecessor to the people, and showed both judgment and good feeling as well as sagacity in developing the resources of the island. Though a Conservative, he was appointed by Earl Grey, Colonial Secretary in Lord John Russell's Ministry, Governor-General of Canada in 1846, in succession to Lord Cathcart. His chief troubles in Canada arose from his unflinching impartiality, and his determination to deal with both the vexatiously hostile sections of the Queen's subjects—the Upper and the Lower Canadians—on a footing of equality. After the rebellion of 1837-8 the Upper Canadians, who were loyalists, demanded and obtained com pensation for their losses; the Lower Canadians were refused, as the rebellion was chiefly fomented and notoriously supported by them. When Lord Elgin was compelled by an adverse ote of the Assembly on his Ministers to form an administration from the French section of the community, the Lower Canadians determined to take their revenge, and accordingly they brought in their bill of indemnity. Great excitement prevailed in Mon treal. When the Governor-General gave his assent to the bill the loyalists showed their loyalty by huoting the Queen's representative, by burning down the Parliament house, by setting some valuable libraries on fire, and by summoning an inflammatory meeting for the purpose of procur ing the recall of Lord Elgin, as having "seriously impaired her Majesty's royal authority, and endan gered the peace and tranquillity of the province." Her Majesty's Government replied to this demon atration by creating (1849) the obnoxious Governor- General a peer of the United Kingdom, as Baron Elgin of Elgin. The Governor-General soon entirely reversed, by his sound wisdom and calm judgment, the unfavourable opinions of the Canadians; and he left his high office with universaleateem, having also acquired the respect and a pprobation of the Home Government, and of six successive colonial secretaries, for his unrivalled administrative capa city. He had promoted the best interests of Canada, he had developed its commercial and agricultural resources, and he was the author of the famous reciprocity treaty with the United States of June 5, 1854. He returned from Canada June 9, 1855, was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Fifeshire, and was entertained at a splendid banquet, attended by men of all parties in the State. His lordship was at home but for a few years. Troubles arose in China towards the end of 1856, which caused a second war with that country, besides convulsing parties at home, and plunging the nation into the muddy whirl pool of a general election—all on account of the lorcha Arrow, which the Chinese boarded as a vessel under native register, and the British, impersonated by Sir John Bowring, a distinguished member of the Peace Society, claimed as bearing the British flag. It is little use telling once more the disagreeable tale of the kid nappings and assassinations by the Chinese, and the hunt ing down of the Chinese in their creeks by the British. Lord Elgin, a man of singularly impartial and judicial mind, was sent out as special Ambassador in 1857. At Galle he met General Ashburnham, who startled the party with an alarming story of the disaffection of the North-Western Provinces of India. At Singapore he took it on himself to divert British troops on their way to China, and sent them on to India, while he himself resolved not to leave Singa pore till ample and complete arrangements had been made for the transmission of this force to the scene of mutiny. Vessels also were specially sent by his lordship's orders to the Straits of Anjier to divert the transports of the 90th and 82d Regiments, so as to avoid the detour through the was not h Hong likely wKong, ere three courses open o Straits of Malacca. Afte r p ro viding completely against the contingency of a rebel attack at Calcutta, Lord Elgin went on to China, and arr ived at Hon g Kong on the 6th of July.

Within 36 hours after the d i sastrous intelligence from In dia had been received Lord some remain months. at There Elgin was on his way to India, on board the Shannon, com manded by the noble and still lamented Captain William Peel. Arrived at Singapore, his lordship was encouraged in his resolves by a flattering adds ess from 28 leading English merchants at that place, cordially concurring in the steps he had taken to divert the expeditionary army. Here he heard the awful details of the massacre at Cawn pore. Within 21 hours 400 tons of coal were taken in, 300 men of the troops wrecked in the ill-fated Transit were picked up, and his lordship telegraphed to Lord Canning his imminent arrival with 1,700 men, including the blue-jackets, for the defence of Calcutta. Lord Elgin was received en thusiastically at Calcutta, and he remained there till his Chinese force was replaced by 1,600 marinas. He arrived at Hong Kong again, after a voyage of 17 days, on the 20th of September ; on the 16th of October his colleague, Baron Gros, also arrived. All the world knothi the story of Chinese treachery, and the consequent bombardment of Canton. The Chinese accounts of Lord Elgin, and their treatment of him and Baron Gros, are characteristic. A spy was placed on his movements, to rec or d th e d a ily ex er • cise of the troops , to watch his lordship's countenance, to mark the number of the British ships, and so on. Yeh told Lord Elgin once that Canton was not to be opened by treaty, and advised him to " adopt the policy of Bonham," so that, like that worthy but not astonishingly great Go vernor of Hong Kong, he might " get the Bath." Lord .Elgin's life was only saved at Mang-ga-ta by French men of. war ; his lordship was " grateful to Go-loso-lun (Baron Gros) and merrily feasted him, praying him to drink wine with him." " Elgin passed day after day at Hong Kong, stamping and sighing." That must have be an uncommonly peculi ar scene in which his lordship took the chief part on the 4th J un e, 1858. Kweiliang and Rwa.Shama, two pleni potentiaries of high rank, arrived at Tien-thin to confer with the two foreign 6 ' barbarians." Lord Elgin met the; two celestials in a joss-house. Lord Elgin's powers were first read out to the Chinese, Who eagerly listened while the royal reporters crowded Sound the distinguished group to catch the words. When the Chinese powers were read in turn, "every mandarin's eye," says Mr, Oliphant, "kept slily turning towards Lord Elgin as his look grew more and more severe" when he heard that the commissioners were empowered to do anything which might not infringe on the dignity of the Celestial Empire, When this document had been read, Lord Elgin sternly ordered his chair, and told the astonished Chinese that their commission was unsatisfac tory. His lordship was again besieged by K ey i n _ , is but in vain, inasmuch as among the papers of the captive Yeh had been found a letter from this worthy to the Emperor, advising him not to bind himself to the treaty of Nankin of 1843. So vigorous and so firm was Lord Elgin that Key ing was at once disavowed and recalled, better counsels prevailed with the Emperor, and on the 26,h of June—the 15th anniversary of the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty of Nankin between Sir Henry Pottinger and Keying —the treaty was at last signed. up the odious monopoly which had excluded all foreigners except the Dutch from commerce or intercouree with that From China Lord Elgin went to Japan, hoping to break unknown land. His excuse for entering Japanese waters was the presentation of a steam yacht to the Emperor Of Japan. He reached Nagasaki on the 3d of August, and was joined the day following by Admiral Sir Michael Seymour with two men-of-war. He went up the gulf of Jeddo to Jeddo in the new yacht. Beyond Kanagawa, however, no foreign vessel was allowed to pass, and here he found at anchor the Russian squadron which had preceded him from the Chinese waters. Still Lord Elgin's little fleet went on till it came to a line of forts erected for the seaward defences of Jeddo, and anchored a mile and a half from the city. The Japanese were thunderstruck at the apparition. Boats were sent off begging Lord Elgin to re turn at once to Kanagawa; but there was no help for it, so the Japanese ceased to interfere. The flotilla passed up to Jeddo in royal state, four paddle-box boats, each with a - pound howitzer in her bows, enclosing the Ambassador's barge—the officers all in full dress, the band playing God Save the Queen. The Treaty of Jeddo was signed on the 26th of August, 1858. How it was kept on the side of the Japanese recent events have shown only too plainly. Lord Elgin, having returned home, took his seat in the House of Lords on the first day of the session of 1859. He had been made a G.C.B. in 1858, and a D.C.L. of Oxford two years previously, at the Grand Commemoration. Lord Derby was now Prime Minister, and highly complimented him on "the zeal, (kill, and ability" with which he had fulfilled his functions, adding, that he congratulated him self on having introduced Lord Elgin to public life. Lord Grey said that he had appointed him to Canada, imagining that this was the office to which Lord Derby alluded ; but Lord Derby, undoubtedly, when Sir R. Peel's Colonial Secretary, took Lord Elgin from private life, and sent him to Jamaica. When Lord Palmerston came into office Lord Elgin ac. , cepted the office o Postmaster. General. In 1860 it was again necessary that the Emperor of China should be compelled to fulfil the engagements into which he had en tered with the British, but which he was determined , if gitnillwsenept September, er rt l a B in w in . g the on er• ljo Ge r n d er E al i his voyage he was shipwrecked at Ceylon, and had a nar poffioscseibloef, r to os e t v m a a d s e t . row escape from death, but was put on board another vessel, and proceeded to Hong Kong, and then to Shanghai. The Taku forts were taken, the Chinese submitted them selves, and in November, 1860, the allied forces left Pekin. In January, 1862, Lord Elgin was selected with uni versal approbation to succeed Lord Canning, his friend and schoolfellow, as Governor-General of India. How he has pacified angry feelings, established loyalty among doubt ful chiefs, promoted education, furthered religion without offending the faith of the natives-111 these things are matters of recent history. Though his viceroyalty has been short, it will have left its mark for good in Indian history, and few Governor-Generals will have earned a higher character for hearty zeal and warm liberality, as well as for consummate administrative ability, than the Earl of Elgin. Lord E 'gin could hardly be called a great orator. In truth he had little opportunity of either showing himself or making himself an orator, since his services were chiefly administrative and in distantcountries, while,when in Eng land, he rarely spoke in the House of Lords, in which he had a seat for 14 years. One speech of his, however, must be noticed, in which he displayed that entire freedom from partisanship and that true patriotism which distin guished his whole career. When Lord Ellenborcugh moved his famous "grandiloquent" resolutions of the 14th of May, 1855, in favour of a more vigorous prosecution of the Crimean war than he thought the Liberal Ministry of Lord Palmerston had urged on, Lord Elgin, then, as ever, a moderate, but independent Conservative, felt himself bound to interpose in favour of the Government. He made the best speech of the day by far, at times rising even to eloquence. Beginning with the admission that, from having been so many years absent in the foreign service of the Crown, he was nearly a stranger to the proceedings of Parliament, his lordship mentioned his present relations to the Ministry. Not very long back, he said, he had thought it his duty to state to Lord Palmerston that he was resolved to maintain an independent position in Parliament, and yet his desire and intention, subject to that qualification and reserve, were to support the Premier, not only because on questions of public policy his sentiments coincided with his lordship's, but because he owed to Lord Palmerston and his colleagues a debt of obligation for the support they had uniformly given him at critical periods in his foreign career. It was true, he must owr, that the successes of the Minis try, whether in the Crimea or elsewhere, had been few ; and the germ of his hope in Lord Palmerston had not yet ripened into public confidence. The resolutions spoke of "firm alliances of brotherhood in arms of a sympathetic and enthusiastic people." Was there no word of regret " for national friendships of old standing broken, for desolation carried into thousands of happy homes, for Europe in arms, Asia agitated and febrile, America sullenly expectant ?" The grandest sentence was that in which Lord Elgin, in earnest tones, contrasted the devotion of our soldiers and sisters of charity with the unpatriotic conduct of certain people who sat at home at ease," not far, perhaps, from their lordships' house. After speaking of the gallantry of the soldiers of all ranks, he said:—" To look to another quarter, to contemplate another class of virtues which are not less essential than those to which I have referred, to the happiness and glory of nations, I have heard from en thusiastic, even bigoted, votaries of that branch of th e Christrian Church which sometimes prides itself on having alone retained in its system room for the exercise of the heroic virtues of Christianity—l say I have frequently heard from the frank admission that the hospitals at Scutari have proved that the fairest and choicest flowers of Christian charity and devotion may come to perfection even in what they are pleased to call the arid soil of Protestantism. People at home should show the same indifference to small and personal motives, the same generous patriotism, the same disinterested devotion to duty which have charac terised our soldiers in the field, and the women of Eng land at the sick bed." The following year, about the same time (May 27) his lordship spoke somewhat em phatically in deprecation of the despatch of 10,000 troops to Canada, and the general increase of the mili tary establishments in British North America, as if is anticipation of a war with the United States, which had just voted a million with apparently warlike de signs. Re said he had seen a great deal of the people of the United States during his administration of Canada, and lie spoke in the interest of the North American colo nies, which would be the first to suffer from war. He deeply regretted the unfriendly feeling which existed be tween the two nations—but he insisted that only the governing classes of America, chiefly foreigners or of foreign extraction, and of no very reputable character, were our enemies; whereas the better classes, who abnegated their duties as citizens, and allowed Irish rowdies to govern them, were anxious to continue on friendly relations with us. Beyond a short explanation of his treaty with China after this, we do not find that Lord Elgin took part in the proceedings of the Upper House. We have already mentioned his lordship's first marriage. He married secondly, Nov, 7, 1846, on the eve of his journey to Canada, Lady Mary Louisa Lambton, eldest daughter of one of the most eminent and most unfortunate GOVerIIOIII - of that Province—John George, first Earl of D u rham, G.C.8., previously Ambassador at St. Peter burg, and Lord Privy Seal in the first Reform GovEeruarl ment, at the head of which was his father-in-law, an _ a Grey.

The announcement which it is our painful duty :o make this morning of the death of the Governor- General of India is provocative of the most melan choly feelings. The Marquis of Dalhousie and Earl Canning only left India to see their native country and die; to Lord Elgin it has not been allowed even to breathe his last, wearied out and exhausted, on British soil, or to rest in Westminster Abbey—like his illustrious predecessor in the splen did viceroyalty—among the noble of all ages— - _ 66 heroes not yet dead, But in old marbles ever beautiful." The Viceroy died at Dhurmshalla, on the 20th of November, of what has - been erroneously called "dropsy of the heart"—the strict term being "peri carditis," or an effusion of fluid into the cavity of the pericardium. In February last Lord Elgin went on a tour through the North-Western Provinces of Bengal, reviewed troops, and gave audiences to native chiefs, completing his " royal march" before the summer. In September his lordship left, Simla to make another progress—this time through the Punjaub. He intended to reach Peshawur by way of Lahore, and was to open the Punjaub Exhibition at Lahore early in the next year. His lordship had been suffering from disease of the heart for some time past, and while on his way to meet Sir Hugh Rose he ascended the Rotang Pass, 13,000 feet high. The mountain air affected his breathing, and mate- rially increased his disorder. Becoming rapidly worse, he telegraphed for Sir William Denison, Governor of Madras, to act as Viceroy in his room, and sent home his resignation of his office. He sank rapidly, and expired, as we have said, on the 20th of November. Lord Elgin was chief of the Bruce family. Sir Robert de Bruse, descended from Eynor, fourth Earl of Orkney, brother of Rollo, who conquered Normandy in 912, and built the castle of Le Bruse, now Brix, near Va'agues, in Normandy, had two sons, the elder of whom, Allen de la Bruse, remained in Normandy, while the younger, William, " came over with the Conqueror," became a baron in York. shire, and possessed, before the close of the Con queror's life, 94 lordships in Yorkshire, besides the castle and manor of Skelton, with Hert and Hert ress, in the bishopric of Durham. His son made a great figure at the Court of Henry 1., and was an intimate friend of the King's brother-in- law, Prince David of Scotland, who, when King, conferred on him the lordship of Annandale. Sir Robert de Bruce, his descendant, was a competitor with Baliol for the throne of Scotland ; and he was the father of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, and Edward Bruce, King of Ireland. From this Sir Robert sprang the Bruces of Kennet, the Bruces of Clackmannan, and the Bruces of Airth Stenhouse. Sir Edward Bruce of Kinloss wash Scotch Lord of Session towards the end of the sixteenth century; was deputed by James VI., in 1600, in company with the Earl of, Mar, to congratulate Queen Elizabeth on the suppression of Essex's rebellion ; was a Privy Councillor; and, a f ter settling his master's peaceable succession to the English throne, was created, at the close of his mission , Baron Bruce of Kinloss anc of Torry, in the Scotch peerage, besides obtaining the Mastership of the Rolls for life. His younger son was created Earl of Elgin of Elgin, in 1633, and Baron Bruce of Whorlton, Yorkshire (this latter in the English peerage), in 1640. The great-grandson of this first earl (the second earl was created Baron Bruce of Skelton, Yorkshire, Viscount Bruce of Ampthill, Bedfordshire, and Earl of Ailesbury) procured a patent of remainder to Baron Bruce of Tottenham, with a remainder to his nephew, Thomas Bruce Brudenell, who was created Earl of Ailesbury in 1774 ; but the Elgin title, in default of heirs male of his body, came to Charles, ninth Earl of Kincar dine, a descendant of Sir George Bruce of Carnock, M.P., who was one of the commissioners for nego tiating the Scotch treaty of union with England, and who wasan elder brother of Sir Edward Bruce of Blairhall, the father of the first Earl of Elgin, under the creation of 1633. The most distinguished representative in modern times of this distinguished family, the Viceroy whose death all of us are now deploring, James Bruce, eighth Earl of Elgin, and twelfth Earl of Kineardine, Baron Bruce of Torry, in the Peerage of Scotland, baron Elgin of Elgin, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, Lord Lieu tenant of Fifeshire, was born on the 20th of July, 1811. He was the second son of Thomas, seventh earl—who, while ambassador at Constantinople, collected, at a cost of nearly £75,000, the splendid Grecian antiquities, taken mainly from the Acro polis at Athens, between 1801 and 1812, and known as the "Elgin marbles," and purchased by Govern ment for L 35,000 for the British Museum--by his second marriage with Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Mr. James Townshend Oswald, of Dunnikeir, Fifeshire. The earl, by the way, had been married previously to Mary, on ly child of Mr. Hamilton-Nisbet, of Dirleton, Haddingtonshire, and had by her a son, George Constantine, Lord Bruce, born in 1800, and Lady Mary Bruce, married to the present Right lion. R. A. Christopher Hamilton-Nisbet, the well known protectionist M.P. for North Lincolnshire from 1837 to 1857, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in Lord D er b y ' s fi rst Ministry. Bornfamily, a young er son of a not over wea l t hy S cotc h a son, t oo , o f a second marriage, L or d E' g i u began life with no v er y brilliant prospects. He had to make a reputation for himself, and, when he had done so, hereditary rank and possession of the ances tral estate gave the young Fellow of Merton a chance of emulating his school-fellows, William Ewart Gladstone and the present Duke of Newcastle, in their already promising Parliamentary career. H e distinguished himself both at Eton and at Oxford. At the university he added the late lamented Marquis of Dalhousie, Viceroy of India, and the late beloved Lord Herbert of Lea, both popular Harro vians, to the list of his friends.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Mr. James Stansfeld, M.P., the Junior Lord of the Admiralty, who has been actively employed all the week at Devonport dockyard examining the public accounts, paid an official visit on Thursday to the Royal William Victualling-yard at Stonehouse. The screw steam frigate Aurora, 35, went yester day from Hamosze into Plymouth Sound, and will shortly ship her powder so as to be ready to join the Channel Fleet. About 170 joiners, smiths, and labourers have been ordered to be entered in the dockyard at Devonport to complete work in hand. After remaining several hours on Thursday out side Plymouth Sound, and communicating with Mr Fox, the Consul, the United States screw steam sloop Kearsage, 7, Commander Windslow, proceeded on her cruise.

The first shot from " Big Will" was a dummy ens t_ iron shell weighing 6001 b, and was levelled with such unerring aim at the wooden target as to smash it literally to powder. The el evation of the eoece in The this i ns tance was 2 deg. 5 min., and the charge 7 01b. next shot was a steel shell with a cast-iron head •;7te g hing 6101 b, and containing no less than 2 41 b of powder, which is only four-fifths of its normal charge. • Before firing this shot aconsultation took place among the artillerists pre s c ent as to the die_ vation to be given, it having been discovered that the wooden target demolished by the first shot had been moored at 1,020 yanls instead ofdi 1 at ,000 as h ad been originally intended. Aft er some scussionhe g un was fired at 2 deg. 10 min. elevation, the shell passing just over the top of the t ar g et a little to the right of the central lines. The next two sb ots-- live steel shells similar in all respects to No. 2-- de monstrated in a meet surprising ful way the woad r accuracy of the gun in obeying the slightest chat ige in elevation. For shot No. 3the piece depresse d was to 2 dcg. 3 min., the shell p .ssing through the ezaot centre of the top of the target, and carrying loyal' a piece of the wood framing of a semicircular shape. The fourth shot was fired at only 3 minutes lass ele vation and struck the target as near the cent re as possible, making daylight through it, and explo ding at the very moment of imp from the spray act.

At first it had been intended to try the effeots of the 600 pounder upon the Warrior target at 2 ' 000 yards, but t he first blow at 1.000 yards 80 disabled it as to render a new target necessary, On re turning to the firin g p oi nt the 300 pounder was next tried , four shots bein g fi r e d, but owing to severa l c auses only one of .aiem took effect.

O n closely exaraining the breach made, it seems clear that the projectile must have exploded when . about halfway through the target. This was made peculiarly e vident by the way in which the hole gradually enlarged after passing through the outer iron p late, and by the appearance (4' the splinters in the teak backing. One of the massive bulks of timber was split ii: t two, another was blown upwards apparently by the mere force of the explosion.
