Aug. 28, 1844. a spirit of emulation in every rank of a regiment re counting valiant deeds of those who once served in the corps ; and I am persuaded, should either officers or men of this regiment have an opportunity. of displaying their courage, that they will en d eavour to Outstrip the gallant deeds of the valiant spirits who have gone before them. The first I shall bring to your notice is Sergeant Frazer, of the regiment at Stony Creek, who, when vo lunteers were sent by Captain Plunderleath to capture some guns that were playing upon the regiment whilst forming, stepped out and with about 25 men, the first he could collect, accompanied their colonel, rushed up to the guns, and took them. Sergeant Frazer stabbed seven Americans, and captured a general officer, for which gallant conduct he was promoted to theadjutantcy of the New Brunswick Fencibles. Another, Lieutenant Fitzgibbon, with about 45 men, and a small band of In dian warriors,captured through stratagem and great daring. 23 officers, and 285 rank and file,2 field-pieces, and a stand of colours; both of these two gentlemen are now residing in Canada. and are colonels of militia. There are now in our ranks, lam proud to say, some who have called forth the admiration of.their superiors as well as that of their comrades, for good service rendered &luring the struggles in China, to which part of our career you have so emphatically allude,l, and the honourable badge for which we have fur the first time displayed upon our now sacred banners. Proudly do all of us look upon those insignia, as we, in conjunction with but a few others, as sisted to open the gates of commerce for our *Friterpr2s ing countrymen into a vast and mighty empire. .1 on have so kindly made mention of the assistance that we have received from Colonel Clive, and the officers and men of the Grenadier Guards, that I should be wanting in duty and feeling towards that splendid corr. did I not echo every word you have said. Deeply and sincerely does the 49th Regiment feel when I say that approbation from you is of greater value, and will be inure fondly cherished, than if we had received it from one who could not have added practice to theory. Then, in the name of the 49th, I thank you fur the fostering care you have shown towards it since we have had the honour of serv ing tinder your command. The 49th then marched past in review order, quick and slow time, the band playing, and the new colours displayed. They were exceedingly beautiful, and in scribed with the names of the places where the gallant 49th have gained their laurels. There was a dinner to 900 soldiers on the ground, a magnificent defuener to the officers and their ladies, and a ball for the men in the evening.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Lord Aberdeen's difficulties grow fast upon him. The bombardment of Mogadore has fol lowed quickly on the heels of the bombardment of Tangiers. The Prince de Joinville boinbarC.ed Tan giers, and, having done a small modicum of mischief to its outworks, carried off his squadron to Gibraltar. But with Mogadore there has been bombardment and something more. The Prince has taken possession of the island which forms the port of Mogadore. He is establishing a garrison in the island. He has declared the port in a state of blockade. Sir Robert Peel solemnly pledged himself that he will not allow France to acquire territory in Morocco. We take for granted that immediate and full explana tion will be required from the French Government as to the • nature and object of the French Prince's possession of the island of Mogadore. We take for granted also that explanation has been already required as to the French Prince's bombardment of Tangiers before the return of Mr. Hay from his mission of mediation to the Emperor of Morocco. Lord Aberdeen stated, in the House of Lords, on the 13th of June, in answer to Lord Clarendon, that the mediation of Great Britain had been accepted by France and Spain,—by Spain on the earnest interposition of France. Mr. Hay is on his way back from Morocco; having obtained, it is said, the concession of every material point insisted on by France and Spain; and, as he nears Tangiers, hears the Prince de Joinville's cannon. If the Prince had waited only four hours, Mr. Hay would have been in Tangiers before a shot was fired. The suc cess of Mr. Hay's mission is immaterial. Even if he had failed in every point, as he is said to have suc ceeded in every material point, a commencement of hostilities by the French Admiral before the result of a mission of mediation, to which France had consented, was known, is surely a matter demanding explana tion. We say, then, we take for granted that Sir R. Peel has made Lord Aberdeen require explanation from the French Government as to the bombardment of Tangiers before Mr. Hay's return. And now, be fare the French Government can have received the demand for this explanation—before the French Government can have notified to its royal Admiral its view of the terms obtained by Mr. Hay from the Emperor of Morocco, Mogadore is bombarded -is in ruins . ; the island which commands the town and port is held and garrisoned by the French ; and a French blockade of the port is declared. All this makes vigilance, firmness, an honourably bold front, on England's part, more and more necessary. 'That it will wake Lord Aberdeen from his slumbers, or that any additional amount of difficulty could give courage to the craven spirit of the Foreign-office, we do not profess to believe. But Sir Robert Peel has now more time to give to foreign affairs than while Parliament is sitting. And the Otaheite question is still to settle. The tone of the French Globe (Guizot's organ), commenting on a rumour of- French proposals on this sub ject, published by the Revue de Paris, is the reverse of yielding. However, Sir Robert Peel is pledged that there shall be ample repa-. ration for the outrage on Mr. Pritchard. 'Whether the recal of M. D'Auhigny alone will be ample re paration, or whether M. Brunt ought to be recalled also, the Government, who at present know more of the circumstances than we can profess to do, are at present better able to judge than we are. But the question settled, everything that the Government now know the public will know. The public will then be able to judge how Sir Robert Peel's pledge has been kept; and if it should then appear that M. Bruat, as soon as he knew of M. D'Aubigny's proceedings, re pudiated them, and punished his subordinate, the British public will be eager to second the British Go vernment in doing justice to M. Brunt. STANDARD.--The eagerness with which more than one of our daily Contemporaries fasten upon any paragraph of the news from Morocco, which may appear to favour their lugubrious predictions, can only be accounted for by the fact that " the wish is father to the thought.' The account of the bom bardment of Mogadore (which can take no one by surprise), conveyed in the telegraphic dispatch of the-Prince de Joinville, has, afforded . ahother opportunity for the exercise of this very patriotic vigilance. The Prince has, it is said,-taken possession of the island which faces Mogadore, in order to con vert it and its neighbourhood into a French depen dency. Nothing of the sort. He has directed it to . he occupied because the water is so shallow between it and the town which it commands; that only ships Of small tonnage can enter ; and because, in fact, its temporary occupation was, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, an absolute necessity, in , any ulterior operation, such as sending a military force from Mogadore into the interior, should have been contemplated. 'We cannot, theretbre, see in this step even a prima facie violation of the implied compact of the French Government with the other .Eur4ean powers. One of our Contemporaries, indeed, appears to have crea t e d th e giant for the express purpose of demolishing it. " If this occupation• continue after its necessity has ceased otl)er, places: are occupied in the same way without. excuse, or retained after the causes which rppy.bsupppsed to justify their occupa tion have ceased—then a breach of trust has been committed —a gross wrong done, for which this coun- , try is bound to demand reparation and redress." If is a great' peace: :baker, and is wisely employed in' this instance to let down gently the writer's indignas ticin. Without considering the contingency thus contemplated as a probable one, we may remark that there is at present no pretext for these apprehen sions ; still less for increasing the irritation which already prevails' in France, by loud and idle boasts of what England would do under circumstances • which have yet to happen—the more especially as our Contemporary hardly disguises his, belief that they are never likely to happen. Another of our neigh• bours, keener sighted and even more sensitively alive to the best interests of England than the journalist we have just quoted, has discovered in the occupation of a small island, little -more than a mile in circumfer ence, by the Prince de Joinville, for the purpose, it , is probable, of covering the supplies which may have hereafter to be conveyed through the port of Mogadore, which it helps to form, for the service of the French troops in the interior, a positive cases belli; with a dis- tinct understandingpliowever, that we are to take the , !e• finition of the phrase from the col umns of the hypotheti cal advocate for war to whom we have already referred. Both definitions, positive and hypothetic, are, we are persuaded, alike unfounded, and as ill-timed as the merriment indulged in by the Morning Chronicle " In answer to the collective letter which was ad dressed on the 27th of July last by the Consuls-General of France, England, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, the undersigned is happy to inform the Consul of England, that the health of the Viceroy, the state of which had lately necessitated the . I ..epartture of his Highness for Cairo, is completely re. established, and that, thanks to this fortunate circumstance, his Highness has been enabled to continue the personal direction of affairs. " The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to assure Mr. Stoddart of his distinguished consideration. " ARTIN BEY." The Guernsey papers allude to a great inconvenience which is felt at Jersey, in consequence of the bankers and traders not being able to come to an agreement as to the value of the five-franc piece. Some have determined that they will not take them for more than 3s. 11d. British money, which is called their " real value ;" while others insist on their being worth ld. more. All, it seems, are agreed that this state of things ought to be remedied, but no one undertakes the necessary reform, which elicits the familiar remark, that what is the busi ness of everybody is the business of no one. Some statistics published in the American journals show the progress of the tollage system on the canals of that country for the last three years. The produce of the principal canals has increased, Albany, West Troy, Utica, Rome, Syracuse, Albion, and Lockport, being among the number ; while on the Schenectady, Monte zuma, Lyons, Palmyra, Brockport, and Black Rock the produce has decreased. The increase in the tolls of the Albany Company, comparing 1841 and 1844, was 815,952, the amount in the former year having been 8122,054, and in the latter year $138,096. In the case of West Troy the increase had been $17,645, the returns in 1841 being 891,086, and in 1844 8108,731. In the ease of Syracuse the tolls in 1841 amounted to $21,578, and in 1844 to $32,977, showing the increase to be $11,399. The principal items of decrease occur in the returns from Black Rock, which exhibit a falling off of 810,469, the amount of toll received in 1841 being 822,358, while in 1844 it reached no greater sum than 811,889 ; and also in the returns from Penn Yan and Brocksop, in each of which there was a decrease of about $6,000. The Oswego returns showed an increase of s3o,s24—the difference between $16,475 in 1841 and 846,999 in 1844: Sabina and Fairfort each also showed an increase of $B,OOO. Buffalo, above all others, gives the enormous increase of $79,719, the returns for ]B4l being $1 48,303, and for 1844 $ 2 28,022. The result of the whole returns shows a net increase of $175,308 in favour of the receipts of 1844, compared with 1841. Other statistics of the trade of the United States for the three' quarters ending June 30, 1843, compared with the same period in the two previous years of 1841 and 1842, show that the exports had gradually diminished in value from $106,382,232 to 8 7 7,793,783. Agricultural products, including cotton and tobacco, and manufactures, appear to constitute the chief items of decline ; and the great depreciation in the price of cotton seems really to be one of the most remarkable features in the statement, since it is proved that though from 854,330,341, the item returned in 1841, there had been a decrease to $49,119,805 in 1844, the quantity of the staple exported in that year exceeded by 8262,000 the quantity exported in 1841. The total exports of cotton for the three years were as follows:-530,204,1001b. in 1841, 587,717,0471 b. in 1842, and 792,297,1061 b. in 1843. GENERAL 6 TEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the General Steam Navigation Company took place on Tuesday, at the office of that corporation, 69, Lombard -street, and was numerously attended. The chair was taken by Mr. John Wilkin (in the continued absence, from illness, of Mr. Wolverly Attwood, the chairman of the company) at two o'clock precisely, when a report from the di rectors, with the half-yearly accounts, was read. From these it appeared that the operations of the company for the past half-year had been attended with increased advantage to the proprietors, and that the general con dition of the affairs of the corporation was calculated to give the highest satisfaction. The usual dividend being declared, the cordial thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman and directors for their continued efforts in promoting the company's interests. We learn from good authority that the Admiralty have directed the officers of Woolwich Dockyard to sup ply the anchors, chains, and moorings required by Capt. 'Tyler to make the experiment of his Breakwater off Brighton ; we trust therefore that no time will now be lost in setting really to work with the sections before the bad weather sets in. —Brighton Guardian.

Th e Baron de Lagos, charged with dispatches from the Spanish Ambassador in London to the Spanish Ambassador in Paris, left London on Sa turday morning, and travelled by the Brighton Rail way, then across to Diepp e , and through Rouen to Paris, performing the distance from London to Paris in twenty hours, which includes stoppages for refresh ments, &c.

" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, and to inform you that Sir James Graham has laid before her Majesty the address, signed by a large number of natives and inhabitants of Ireland, which was transmitted by you to Sir James Graham for that pur pose. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "H. MANNERS SUTTON." Ir. Martin Crean, Corn Exchange-rooms, Dublin." Gener 1 CLOONEY addressed the meeting. Mr. BROWNE, M.P., described the position iu which the repeal cause stood, and eulogised the means by which that position had been attained. It was to the new philosophy of moral agitation that their success was to be attributed. Their respect for the social relations of life, and strict observance of the laws, had drawn upon them the eyes of admiring Europe—had procured for them the sympathy of France, and the generous and inexhaustible aid of America. Circumstances were aris ing every day which gave them the highest hopes.— (Cheers.) No moment could be more opportune for the people to struggle for the amelioration of their country than the present. Whether he looked to the east or to the west, he found embarrassments crowding upon Eng land—from the Society Islands to the territory of Ore gon, from Hindostan to Algiers. In every quarter of the world were visible the giant shadows of the coming revolution.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. KELLY, M.P., handed in 11., the monthly sub scription of Mr. Smith O'Brien, during the captivity; and then read a letter from that gentleman, in which he stated his intention of being in Dublin on the 3d of Sep tember. The following are extracts from the letter:— " I avail myself of this opportunity to remove a mis conception which may arise from a statement made by Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., at the last meeting of the Asso ciation. I have not recommended the adoption of any resolution against the use of tobacco or other taxable commodities. Though the conduct of the English Go vernment towards the Irish people has been such as fully to justify this resolution, I am not prepared to ask the repealers of Ireland to deprive themselves of any healthful enjoyment, unless some great national object can be promoted by such a sacrifice. It' is right, how ever, that both Government and the people should con template such a determination as a probable contingency. " A temperance pledge, limited for the present to the period at which the repeal of the union shall be attained, appears to me to possess many advantages. Larger con tributions to the national treasury could be more easily made by each subscriber, in consequence of the savings effected under a system of total abstinence. Above all, it would furnish to mankind an undeniable evidence of the earnestness of the national determination. " I can, however, by no means advise that the adop tion of this pledge should be considered as a test of patriotism. Many individuals may be very sincere lovers of their country and very ardent advocates of domestic l-gislation, who would be unwilling to bind themselves by any such arrangement. " With regard to the use of Irish manufactures, there is, at present, considerable difficulty in excluding from consumption the competing productions of England ; but it ought to be the aim of every true Irishman to give a preference to the produce of Irish industry." Mr. KELLY then proceeded to state that when the ac count reached Limerick that it was the intention of the repealers to relinquish the use of tobacco, one of his constituents, a manufacturer of that article, and who paid 5001. weekly as duty, offered in the most generous manner to shut up his stores, if by that means he could advance the cause of repeal.— (Cheers.) The name of this gentleman was John Spalade, or, as he was called, " honest John Spalade." He mentioned this circum stance to show the determination of the people. Mr. J. M'NEvIN, barrister, brought forward the re port of the Parliamentary Committee on the opening of the Post-office letters, which denounced the system in the most marked and emphatic manner. The Rev. Mr. COUGHLAN addressed the meeting on the subject of the Charitable Bequests Bill, which he denounced, deprecating the interference of laymen in matters affecting ecclesiastical discipline. Mr. D. O'CONNELL then rose to make his usual weekly return from the . prison. He said the repeal mar tyrs were, as usual, in excellent health and spirits, cheered at the tranquillity of the country, and the spirit of perseverance evinced by all parts of Ireland. He had learned from his father that he was de lighted that Mr. Smith O'Brien should have taken the subject of the pledges into his consideration, convinced that whatever that gentleman decided upon would be the wisest and best course to be adopted by the Association, who must have the most unlimited confidence in his patriotism and wisdom. He knew that his father felt great anxiety respecting the Parliamentary voters ; all that was wanted was their coming up to be registered. There were more than 150 registries still undisposed of, and if the claimants would not come up, the court would be closed and the oppor tunity lost. These men could mitigate the inconve nience of Mr. O'Connell's imprisonment, by placing themselves on the Parliamentary roll ; the neglect to do so was really a crime against Ireland, who had many cordial enemies, and ought to have a multitude of active friends. He was happy to state that he knew it was Mr. O'Connell's thorough conviction that the hour was coming for repeal, and coming fast. The English Government would want, no one knew how soon, " the lion heart and stout hand of Ireland ;" and they could have both; by the simple process of doing justi ce t o th e I r i s h peop l e. The Irish had but one resource, and that was in them selves, a resource that would be found qu it e ava il a bl e when English statesmen were wise enough to perceive that Ireland ought to be conciliated.—(Cheers.) After some further business had been gone through, Mr. J. KELLY announced the rent for the week to be 634/. 13s. Ild.—(Loud cheers.) CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY—THE TORIES. The state of the Parliamentary registration for this city affords a practical evidence of the rapid decay of that Orange fervour which preceded the last general election. Day by day the Liberals obtain a majority, and the Tories now can scarcely muster a claimant. On Saturday the Liberals registered seventeen electors, whilst the Orange party did not bring up a single man ! An effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel for the Tories, to induce the registering barrister to close the session, but he peremptorily refused. The registry is again in progress this day, and the Liberals are still increasing their majority. INQUEST ON CAPTAIN G. H. ELIOTT. On Wednesday last our town was thrown into a state of no inconsiderable excitement, in consequence of a re port being rather prevalent that Captain Granville Hey wood Eliott, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, and a small boy, his servant, of about twelve years of age, of the name of Curley, were drowned at the Long Island. Ac cordingly one of the gun-boats was immediately manned, and repaired to the spot, accompanied by a number of small boats. After dragging the river for some time, the rumour turned out a sad reality. The first thing they succeeded in finding was the boat, and within a very few yards of where the boat was raised both bodies were found, almost side by side, grasped in the strong arms of death. When the boats .arrived at the Canal Harbour the bodies were carried on a bier to barracks, where the inquest was held by Mr. E. Lynch, Coroner. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned the following verdict : We find' that Granville Heywood Eliott, and his boy, Patrick Curley, came by their neath accidentally, being found drowned on, the 21st of August, 1844, in the river Shannon, by falling out .of a boat, and were then and there suffocated and drowned, and that the said boat was the cause of the death of the said G. 11. Eliott and Patrick Curley, and is of the value of one pound, and do award it as a deodand to the Queen." Captain Granville Heywood Eliott was the only son of a retired artillery officer, Colonel Eliott, of Vale brook-lodge, near Hastings, in Sussex, and has a l so l e ft a mother and a sister to foment his premature death. He joined the 4th as Cornet, at Brighton, in March, 1835. and from that period enjoyed the closest intimacy and friendship with' all his brother officers, by whom he was greatly beloved and esteemed, and was only in his twenty-ninth year. We regret to say that since then the father of Curley (the boy who lost. his life with Captain Eliott), a poor old man residing at Athlone, took the melancholy fate of his son so much to heart, that he has died from grief.—Atlelone Sentinel DISTRESSING CASE OF MISS JOHNSON.—It will be in the recollection of our readers that there appeared in T h e Sun a few days since an account of the distress ing case of two young ladies named Johnson, who were lodging at the house of Mr. Stainsbury, 27, Charlotte street West, White Conduit-fields, where they endea voured to procure a livelihood by opening a small school, and where one of them died absolutely from starvation. We have seen a gentleman who called on the surviving sister last evening for the purpose of con veying to her the donations of himself and a few friends. Be instituted minute inquiries into the circumstances of the case, and states that the account •which has appeared is correct in every particular. We trust that some means may be found to provide a permanent home for this young lady, who, o verwhelmned with grief at the loss of her sister is dependent alone upon casual bounty to rescue her from the same horrible fate. PRESENTATION of NEW COLOURS TO THE 49Tu REGIMENT. The ceremony of presenting a new pair of colours to the 49th Regiment took place at Winchester on Tuesday, when the colours were consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester, and presented by Lady Pakenham to the troops. At one o'clock the barrack-yard was occupied by about 600 of the 49th, and the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards. Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence and a distinguished party of the nubility and gentry of the county were present. The Lord Bishop of Winchester, accompanied by his son and his chaplain, and the dig nitaries of Winchester Cathedral, arrived soon after one o'clock ; and at about two o'clock the interesting- cere monial began. The day was remarkably fine, and the concourse of spectators opposite theground was immense. We should suppose 10,000 people were collected. The troops were first formed in line, and then went through a number of parade evolutions. The band played the national anthem and a variety of marches. The ceremonial commenced by a large dais, covered with crimson cloth, being placed in front of the space where the Bishop stood. The old colours were borne by the ensigns, at the head of the regiment, which marched past Sir H. Palsenhasn, who commanded. They were in a sadly dilapidated state, from their long service in all parts of the globe. These were taken charge of by the Major, and the en signs advanced to the dais. The Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER then advanced a little in front of the line, and thus addressed the troops : —" Soldiers of the 49th, I have solicited and obtained permission of your gallant commanding officer to address you a few moments before I invoke the blessing of Al mighty God upon the colours which are never to be sul lied by any act of yours, and are not to be abandoned but with life itself. And let not any man marvel that I, a man of peace, come among you, who are men of war, for I hold that there is not a truer man of peace than a Christian soldier. When he conquers it is not for na tional aggrandizement, nor the mere raising ofyour names, but for the insuring of peace in future time. Many a brave man has bled on the field, or expired on a bed of agony, that his countrymen might be preserved from the horrors of war. With respect to the services of the 49th, I might go back to a time antecedent to the present century. We must remember what a debt of gratitude we owe to your companions in arms for their prowess in many a well-fought field. And what did we not owe also to the naval power for the preservation of our soil from the insults and the cruelties of our enemy ? I must bid you look back to the recollection of those days when you won glory in Holland, Copenhagen, and Que bec, and since in Affghanistan and China. I remember well the stirring phrase used by the great captain of the age, the Commander-in-Chief of the British army. the Duke of Wellington, when he asked for the thanks of Parliament to the army of India--those were stirring phrases indeed--they were well worth li v i ng t o h ear, and well worth dyi ng to deserve ; they are for you to treasure up, and your children yet unborn to hear from your lips. When you unfold those banners you look upon them as the memorials of former days, and in cen turies yet to come they will be memorials of your coun try's renown, of your country's prosperity, and of your country's peace. On these grounds I hold that the Christian soldier is an instrument of good to the nation at large, and I bid you God speed in the name of the Lord, and as a Christian bishop I would bid you remem ber Him who is the God of battles, Him by whom na tions are led to victory and preserved in peace. Be men of resolution and men of energy, pacific in your profession and disinterested in your patriotism, ob servant of your duty to your Queen, your country, and your God. The Bishop then proceeded to read the prayers in consecrating the colours. Lady PARENHAM then advanced to, and ascended the dais, and supported by Lieutenant -Colonel Fraser and Major Cornellan, who held the new colours, her Lady ship thus addressed the regiment :—I feel much inte rested in the scene before me, and must try to express the high importance I attach to the present solemnity. I consider the colours that I am about to present to the 49th as emblems of the past career of the regiment, DS well as an earnest of their future success—they heaa- the names of many battles extending from the Ras- a y Moun tains of North America to the groat aaS -1 .1 of China ; but I esteem it as one of the highest JatYileges of the British army, that wherever they I .'sve been successful hitherto, that success has been attended by the bright halo of Christianity spreading abroad, where the darkness of Paganism had formerly reigned ! May I express a humble hope that such will be the case in China, and that the success of the 49th at Amoy may be a pledge of this happy result ! Receive these colours, and bear them forward as gallantly as you have already done, and may the Lord God, the God of battles, give you the vic tory.—(The company immediately behind the dais ap plauded, and the example was followed by those who could not hear this neatly expressed address.) General Sir H. PAKENLrem then addressed the troops as follows :—I am satisfied that all who have joined in the interesting ceremony just concluded will feel that it is my first duty to return to the Right Rev. Prelate who has consecrated the colours our sincere and re spectful thanks for the performance of that sacred right, and for the eloquent and impressive exhortation we have had the advantage of hearing, and which expression of our feeling I request his Lordship to ac cept from me on behalf of all those who are here as sembled. Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, and 49th Regi ment, it has fallen to my lot, as commanding this dis trict, to assist in the presentation of colours to several regiments. On these occasions it is customary to advert to the opportunities of discharging their duty and of obtaining distinction which the course of service has afforded to each regiment. From the lengthened peace that Europe has now enjoyed, I have been obliged occa sionally to revert to times long past, to prove that our regiments only wanted opportunity to evince their zeal for the honour of their country. This occasion is, how ever, different. This is the first time I have had the honour of addressing the officers and men who in their own persons have, by their gallantry in action and steady endurance of the most trying difficulties, added conspi cuously to the glories of the British army. The corps stands, in one view, under particular circumstances. The brillient services rendered by the regiment in the late war at Egmont-op-Zee under his Royal Highness the Duke of York, at Copenhagen under the immortal Nelson, and at Queenstown, and in other hard con flicts in North America, under my much-loved friend the gallant Sir Isaac Brock, memorials of which are blazoned on the colours, and for which latter services the regiment obtained the honour of being designated Princess Charlotte of Wales's Regiinent—these have been so eclipsed by the late exploits of the corps in China, that were it not grateful to every soldier to re flect upon and recount such feats, we might be tempted to pass them over, when considering the inappre ciable service of forcing the hitherto impassable gates of the mysterious empire of China. As long as civilization lasts the results of the glorious services performed by the 49th Regiment and the other gallant corps associated with them under the command of Sir Hugh Gough will be felt throughout Christendom, and the entrance then opened into the Celestial Empire will never again be permanently closed. This day two years the regiment highly signalized itself by the assault and capture of the important fortress and city of Amoy, when the Chinese dragon was lowered before the red cross of Britain. The mighty consequences of these victories are yet to be developed ; but the proud emblazonment of the dragon in the colours will always bear record of the noble part taken by the 49th in this most important war. Since the return of the regiment from long foreign service, it has evinced the most patient and praiseworthy assiduity in completing its reorganization, and I have observed, with, the greatest satisfaction, the kind and encouraging as sistance the corps has received from the battalion of her. Majesty's Guards quartered here, and I have the gratifi cation of returning my thanks to Colonel Clive and the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, as well as to Lieute nant-Colonel Adams, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the 49th Regiment, for the high state of discipline to which the corps has arrived. I now wish you all honour and prosperity, and when your colours. are unfurled before an enemy, may the Almighty nerve your hearts and strengthen your arms as heretofore, and carry you forward to honour and to victory.— (Cheering. followed the e nerge ti c a dd ress o f the gallant General.) Colonel ADA MS , of the 49th, then advanced rci to the,_,t shall Lord Bishop, and thu s a dd resse d him :—My Lord,—lt be my duty to i ns til i n to the ininds of the soldiers of this regiment the r evere nce that at ail times is to be paid to have this day those banners that you, mycLord,rps I thank you for the h conse crated; and in the name of the o honour you have conferred upon it, by the part you have taken in the interesting ceremonies_ of _the day. Turning to Lady Pakenham, Colonel ADAMS . addressed you, the 49th Regiment feel the her Ladyship this morning presented us deepest gratitu ' re T f o or : h o a u ;in with what all soldiers hold in g the greatest veneration— the colours of their regiment. Most carefully shall they be guarded, and we will endeavour, should our Queen re quire - our services, to add to those honourable badge with which those colours are adorned. Many now there are in our ranks who assisted to gain one of th ose honourable records of good and faithful service ; thi s d ay two years we were under the fire of the enemy, and though, perhaps, during their servitude they may never again be required to fight in their country's cause, still they will leave, as their gallant predecessors have done, embers that only require to b e gent l y breathed upon, to brighten up into a flame that will inspire all ranks with that enthusiasm for deeds of' gallantry that has ever marked the British soldier. The Gallant COLONEL then addressed Sir Hercule: Pakenham :—Your kind and considerate remarks re specting this corps call forth from me on.the part of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, our warmest thanks. You have brought to our recollections .the en gagements in which this regiment has signalized itself from its formation to the peace concluded at Nankin, in July, 1842 ; and as there is in our records honourable mention made of some individuals, I think it will not be out of place if I remind those around me of one or two instances of most undaunted gallantry, AS it keeps alive THE LONG RANGE AND INVISI BLE SHELL. - (FROM A CORRESPONDEN T. The importance of Captain Warner's invention is incalculable. Like all extraordinary discoveries, a host of sceptics has arisen, and, as was the case when gas was first introduced, thousands are ready to scorn and ridicule the discoverer of this irresistible power, who are quite unable to appreciate the value of the secret. The prejudice of naval and military gentle men of the olden school, who are unwilling to be put out of their usual way, can be readily accounted for, but with others the opposition can only proceed from an unworthy jealousy of an original and persevering individual ; and it shows a great want of liberality In men of education, if it is not approaching•to malice, to attempt running down Captain Warner by insinua tions and assertions altogether gratuitous and un tenable. Its adoption as an arm of war, it is evident, would disturb our present tactics in both land and sea service, the consequences of which may be rea-. dily conceived, even were the secret to be preserved by a country where the utmost freedom is given to foreign Powers to inspect our arsenals and manufac tories. It is most probable that if Government is in duced to purchase it, the object will be its suppres sion, as is understood to have been the case with an invention of the late Michael Logan, engineer, who had discovered a mode of gunnery, which would, if adopted, have rendered useless the present science of projectiles. The celebrated Napier of Merchiston, who invented th e L ogar i t h ms, i t appears, possessed the power of an engine, or power, by which a whole field could be cleared of an enemy at one fell dis charge ! When urged to divulge the secret, he ob served that there were already too many methods for the destruction of human life, and he would be no benefactor to mankind were he to multiply them; it accordingly died with him. BETTS'S PATENT -METALLIC CAPSULES. We were highly delighted on Tuesday by a visit to Mr. Betts's Patent Metallic Capsule Manufactory, 1, Wharf street, City-road, The metallic capsule is one of the most useful and i'inportant inventions fur securing bottles ever iatrselsced; it is applied to bottles of every descrip tifsis ':;ith the greatest facility and rapidity, and when once applied the bottle cannot be opened without de stroying the capsule. It is formed of the purest tin, and is therefore non-corrosive and incapable of being affected by acids. With regard to the strength of the capsule, we mention the fact that we saw at the manu factory a bottle of soda-water, the cork of which was secured by the capsule alone, without the interveation of wire or string. The capsule was torn off, and the cork instantly flew out, the soda-water being in the highest state of effervesence. The cork had been thus secured for some days. The process of manufacturing these capsules is excedingly beautiful, and at the same time remarkal4 simple. We may premise that they are manufactured at about the rate of thirty a minute, and that the apparatus is set in motion by a steam-engine of eight-horse power. The metal of which the patent metallic capsules are manufactured, is the celebrated banca tin, the produce of the East Indies, which is entirely free from any oxi dation or other sort of corrosion. A sufficient number of pigs of this metal, being melted in a furnace of peculiar construction, is drawn off through a common tapping cock into a portable vessel, surrounded by a charcoal fire, to preserve the intensity of the heat, and conveyed on a miniature railway, and cast, on a metallic platform, into bands, preparatory to being rolled. The bands are then conveyed to the rolling, or laminating mill, to which, as well as to the other machinery, motion is given by a powerful steam-engine. This mill comprises several sets of rollers, each reducing the ribband of metal, to which the first has given a new form, little by little, until it is thin enough for the subsequent operations, and at the same time giving to one side of the ribband a brilliant and uniform polish. The metal, now wound up into regular and extensive coils, is taken to the cutting ma chine. There the machinery grips one end of a coil, and, without any aid from the workman, cuts it into circular discs, suitable in diameter to the capsules in tended to be produced from it, and continues to make and deliver them until the whole coil of metallic ribband is expended, when another coil is supplied. This operation is somewhat similar to the process used at the Mint in the preliminary work of coining; but the motion is infinitely more rapid, the discs being cut and carried through with such speed that it is impossible to keep time with, or count them. These discs are now dropped into a hopper, from which they pass into a recess, where a plunger, or stamp, grips each into a parti a ll y formed capsule. By the next operation, which is perfectly self acting, and exhibits an application of the eccentric mo tion exceedingly beautiful and novel, the capsule is taken upon the first of thirteen stamps, or plunges, placed ho rizontally, and to which, forward, receding, and lateral action is alternately given ; and the capsule, having thus received a partial elongation or improvement in form, is passed on to the.second, and so on, one by one, to each of the thirteen stainps, until it is delivered by the last in. a perfect state, having embossed upon it the name of the firm by whom it is to be used, with a description of the contents of the bottle or other vessel it is intended to protect. It will be readily understood that each stamp or plunger presses against a corresponding mould or die ; and that all have capsules upon them at the same time, in their various stages of progression. The precision with which these stamps pass on the capsules from one to the other, and, in the intervals, perform their own im mediate portion of the work—is another almost marvel lous proof of the high inventive genius and consummate mechanical skill of the present day: There can be very little doubt but that these capsules must eventually su persede the old, and we may now say, barbarous method of securing corks in bottles and wine —indeed, the prin cipal wine and ale merchants, confectioners, perfuiners, chemists, sad, Italian warehousemen, have already adopted them.
