Youth, perhaps, never feels more joyous than when it contemplates the half-ye.fly v.ication, unless it be when 1 ioklig forward during the holidays to new clothe+. But how much would the delight be en hanced, it, instead of the ceremony of measuring by the family tailor. and bearing his recommendation of this, that, and the other fashion or cut, the p.tents would take them where they would see every pre vailing style adapted for all ages, and slow them to chose for them pelves—not that they need be left altogether to select without advice. but their natural guardians would be infinitely better satisled if they saw every description of appropriate dr es s m ade up in the first style •f elegance, instead i f being obliged to take a suit when brought home, made according to the single i dea of one man, for nine times out of ten, if it by a lucky chance happens to fit, it does not altoge ther please. Now it is desirable that every child at home fur his boll says, and ev. ry parent should know, that Messrs. E. MOSES and SON, whose unrivalled Establishments in Aldgate and the Mi nories, and New Oxford-street (corner of Hart-street). are, from their splendour of decoration, xhibitions in themselves, have, in an ticipation of the Midsummer Holidays, provided one of the most ex tensive and elegant S rOt KS of CLOTHING for YOUTH that was ever got together, combining tine newest fashions and the most ele gant designs, the best material that can be made, and the most ex quisite workmanship. Besides this, hundreds of the best workmen In the trade are oii tile pretuls s, ready to mike to measure, it pre !tired, an% quantity of garments to the patterns chosen, and rothing could be a greater treat to young people than a walk through the Monarch Mart. To the parents it must be interesting to know that they wi.l tie aisle to clothe two lads for the price usually charged by ordinary tailors for cue. E.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 21.—Lieutenants—Charles G. Grylls (1847), and Charles W. Russell (1850), to the Retribution for service in the Sidon, 22, paddle-wheel steam frigate of 560. horse power, the latter vessel being intended to convey troops to the Cape of Good Hope. Commander Francis P. Egerton (1844), having finished a course of study of steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard, was examined on Friday last by Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer, and o❑ passing received his certificate. Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford (1825) has hoisted his broad pendant on board the Trafalgar, 120, at Sheer ness, and taken the temporary command of the ships at that port in the room of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Geo. Elliot, C.B. H-ar-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, it is said, will be appointed flag (dicer at the Note in about six or seven weeks from this period, when the temporary command of Captain the lion. M. Stopford will cease. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Master-Commander Hoff meister, is ordered up from Sheerness to Woolwich, and is expected at this port to-morrow to embark Captain Faddy's and Captain St. George's companies of the RO3 at Artillery, for conveyance to the Cape of Good Hope. This arrangement will give great satisfaction, and save a great deal of time in the embarkation of the companies, and .he men will be saved the trouble of re shipping their brggage at Sheerness. The Magicienne, 16, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, is expected at this port every tide from Devonport. She is to be brought round by Mr. Biddlecombe, and will be taken back to Davenport by kir. Brown, assistant master-att,ndant at that dockyard, who will take on board the masts and stores required to bring the Barra couta to Woolwich. The Barracouts, 6, piddle-wheel steam-sloop, is under the .hears outside the basin at this port, and her masts and stores have been all taken out. Although a paddl.. wheel steatn-slo,'p, she is built on similar lines to the steam-e1.,0p, recently launched hire to be fitted with a screw-pr..peller and engines of 250 horse power, by Scot and Sinclair, at Greenock. The Barracouta is to be fluted with the old engines taken out of the Medea, and of 220 horse power, The Monkey st. , am-vessel accompanied the Brisk as far ai St. Helen's, and returned to Woolwich on Fri day afternoon. The new boilers on board the Hydra steam-sloop are of a circular form, 9 feet 10 inches each i❑ diameter. and 16 feet long, and from their perfect construction re markably strong. Triers are five furnaces in each of the two boilers. two below three, and, owing to their shape, there is ample room for the engineers or stokers to pass between them when necessary. They also dispense with the ►team•chest used in square boilers, which will be a great advantage and bring them considerably under the water-line. They were made at the factory at Wool wich dockyard, from a design originally submitted to the Admiralty by Messrs. John Penn and Son, engineers, Greenwich. SHIP NEWS.

A storm of thunde-, not of long continuance, but of great violence while it lasted, broke over Manchester and the neighbourhood on Saturday evening about eight o'clock. The day was exceed ingly close and sultry throughout, but was quite free from rain, with the exception of one shower, until half-past seven o'clock, when heavy clouds rose from the south-west horizon, and thunder began to mutter in that direction. For some time lightning flickered in the sky without any thunder or rain, but at about ten minutes past eight the latter began to descend in torrents, driven by a fierce wind which rose sud denly, until it assumed the character of a thick rising mist or a light sheet of water, and the lightning spread itself over the whole concave above, so that it was no stretch of the imagination to believe that there was a huge conflagration in the vicinity. The thunder was not particularly loud, but it was continuous (more so than the lightning, though it scarcely intermitted its flashes), and combining its roll with the noise of the wind and the falling rain, for a full quarter of an hour there was one unbroken and terrible sound. This elemental warfare continued to rage with terrific violence for nearly half an honr, when it gradually cleared away. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille discount, according to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.04; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 42.5 per mark, which, at th e Eng lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.41; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13.41, it follows that gold 6Tb i ieht o ewd .

It is im possible to express my feelings upon this the most de lightful occasion of my life, when so much more has been said than is deserved, and so kindly said, in praise of the manner in which the work has been carried out by my good partner, Mr. Henderson, a nd myself. What ever may have been the weight of care and responsibi lity under which I have lived for the last twelve months, I am amply repaid for it all in the perfect success which has hitherto attended the progress of the Exhibition, in the approbation expressed by our gracious Sove reign, in the kind congratulation of all my friends, and now in the enthusiastic and heartfelt manner in which the toast has been responded to by this distin ' guished assembly of my fellow-townsmen.—(Loud cheers.) Before entering on a brief history of the building, I wish to state, that it is to Mr. Paxton'a idea of a palace of iron and glass, which it has been my lot to mature and realize, that the public are indebted for the present structure in Hyde-park; and that gentleman proudly acknowledges that but for the enlightened views of the Duke of De vonshire, the Lord-Lieutenant of this county, and his Grace's princely expenditure at Chatsworth, the idea of such a building might never have been entertained. In June, 1850, the Royal Commission invited contractors to tender for a building to be erected in Hyde-park, in conformity with plans and specifications prepared by the Building Committee. The building, which was intended to consist principally of brick and iron, with a splendid dome in its centre, was considered of too permanent a nature for subsequent removal, and public opinion to this effect was very generally expressed. In the printed condition of tender issued by the Building Committee the following clause was introduced:—" Tenders for methods of construction other than those shown upon the drawings and described in the specifications, will be entertained, but on condition only of their being ac companied by working drawings and specifications, and fully priced bills of quantities." This invitation to par ties to send in tenders, based not only on the commit tee's plans but upon such other designs as they might wish to submit, induced me to believe that a tender for a build ing of glass and iron, as suggested to me for the first time by Mr. Paxton on the 22d of June, 1850, just 12 months ego, an engraving of which was published it: the Illustrated London News on the 6th of July, would meet nut only with the approbation of the building committee, but with that of the 'while at large; and I therefore went to Birmingham on the 18th of Juno, and put in hand the drawings and specifications upuu which our tender to the committee was to be based. On the 2.1 of July Mr. Cole, having heard of our intention to make an offer for a building of the kind, and feeling strongly that the success of the Exhibition depended upon having an attractive and suitable building, came down to Birmingham at his own suggestion, but with the permission of competent authority, to stimulate us to proceed, and to offer such hints in reference to the requirements of the case as would enable us to make the conception of Mr. Paxton conform strictly to the con dition of tender required by the Commissioners, and therefore most likely to meet with the approbation the Building Committee; and I am of opinion that to his spirited advice we are mainly indebted for ob taining an inspreguable locus standi on the merits o f our case.—(Loud cheers.) In all this I had the co-operation of my partner Mr. Henderson, who, feeling with me the value of Mr. Colds suggestions and the great importance, in the preparation of these draw ings, of conforming as much as possible to the arrange ments adopted by the committee in the plan upon which they had invited tenders, proposed the addition of the transept, in the propriety ot which Mr. Paxton, after due consideration, entirely concurred.—(Cheers.) Be fore completing our tender, and with a view to a more precise appreciation of the magnitude of a building covering 18 acres-1,850 feet Ling, 408 feet wide, and 64 feet high, irrespective of the arched roof of the tran sept—l walked Out one evening into Portland-place; and there setting off the 1,850 feet upon the pavement, found it the same length within a few yards- and then, considering that the building would be three times the width of that fine street, and . the nav e as h i gh as t h e houses on either side, I had presented to my mind a pretty good idea of what we were about to undertake, and I confess that I considered the difficulties to be sur mounted in constructing that great pal ace were o f no ordinary kind; but feeling confident that with great energy, good arrangements, and a hearty co-operation on the part of our extensive andwell-disciplined staff it might be accomplished, and that upon it dep e nd e d , i n all proba bility, the success of the Exhibition, w e d eterm i ned to un dertake the responsibility; and the opening on the Ist of May has proved the correctness o f our conclus i ons. —(Loud cheers.) The plans and specifications prepared by us in greet haste were submitted to the Commissioners, together with a tender, on the 10th of July; but though sufficient to enable us to bring the subject before them, and to convey to their minds an idea of what we pro posed t' erect, they were necessarily v er y i ncom pl e t e , and did not contain either sufficient archit ectura l or me chanical detail to admit of th eir b e i ng used in the execu• tion ot the works. The arched roof was afterwards added to the design, and submitted to the Commissioners on the 15th of July, with the view of getting over a difficulty which existed in consequence of the elm trees being too tall to be covered by the flat roof proposed by Mr. Paxton. For the expense atte n di ng t h e add i t i on o r the arched root to the transept, Fox, Henderson, and Co. did not increase the amount of their former tender, and it was consequently executed at their sole expense. —(Cheers.) The Building Committee, ha v i ng h a d the mater under their consideration from the 15th to the 26th of July, resolved unanimously to recommend the Commissioners to accept our offer for the building, and nothing could be more disinterested than their conduct in setting aside the drawings and specifications which, with much labour, they had prepared, and adopt. ing others, which, though laid before them in so imper fect a state, presented to their minds, as experienced engineers and architects, the mode of constructing a building of iron and glass better fitted for the purposes of the Exhibition.—(Cheers.) On the recommendation of the Building Committee the Commissioners on the 26Ji of July were pleased to signify their wish for us to construct the building, but were met by a 'difficulty which threatened to postpone fora year, if not to put an end, to the Exhibition altogether. The Solicitor to the Treasury gave as his opinion that until the Commis sioners bad obtained a royal charter they could not legally proceed, and were therefore not in a position to give an order to any one. These circumstances were explained to us by Lord Granville on the 26th of J u ly, in the presence of the Commissioners, who at the same time told us that it was their fixed intention to apply to Government for the charter, and that he had every rea son to believe it would be granted, and having informed us that as soon as they were a legally constituted body they would probably conclude a contract with Fox, Hen derson, and Co., finished by asking : whether under these circumstances we should consider it running too great a risk to enter at once upon the execution of the work, as, otherwise, many weeks would unavoidably be lost, and the chance of open ing the Exhibition on the fat of May placed beyond possibility. In reply to his Lordship's inquiry, seeing the imperative necessity . for immediat e ac ti on , an d desiring to render all the assistance in our power in furtherance of the important object of the Exhibition, we expressed our willingness to run the ri s k, w h a t ever it might be, and without waiting for the chart er com menced at once the drawings and the ne cessar y opera tions for the erection of the building.--(Lo u d c h eers .) As the time for the execution of the building was so ex tremely limited, and being well aware from experience that when matters of business had to be decided by a committee composed of many persons much valuable time was generally wasted, wo requested the Commis sioners, inse ad of referring us to the Building Com mittee, to select one of its members—either the chair man, Mr. Cubitt, President of the Insitution of Civil Engineers, Mr. Robert Stephenson, or Mr. Brunel-- and give him absolute *power to settle with us finally all matters connected with the arduous task we were then willing to enter upon. .The Commissioners, ap preciating the importance of this request, appointed Mr. Cubitt to till this office. It was now that I commenced the laborious work of deciding upon the proportions and strengths required in every part of this great and novel structure, so as to insure that perfect safety essen tial in a building destined to receive millions of human beings—one so entirely without precedent, and where mistakes might have led to the most serious disasters. Having satisfied myself on these necessary points, I set to work and made every important drawing of the build ing, as it now stands, with my own hand; and it Ras no small source of gratification to me, when asking Mr. Cubitt to look over the drawings I had prepared, to find that he not only had no desire to suggest alterations, but expressed his entire approbation of them all. The Corn missivaers twig carefully comidered the merite of the various sites proposed for the Exhibition, among which mey be named Leicester-square, Somerset-house, Trafalgar-square, the Isle of Dogs, Battersea-fields, and Regent's park—(Laughter)—selected, after the meat careful consideration, a portion of Hyde-perk, situate between the Serperrine River and the Queen'; drive, and gave us possession of the ground on the 30th of July, when we proceeded to take the necessary heels and surveys, and to sc t out with great precision the po sition of the various parrs of the building. Tee draw ings occupied me about eighteen hours each day for seven 7veeks,. and as they went from my h an d M r. H enderson immediately prep aced the ironwork and other materials required in the censtructien of the building. As the drawings proceeded the calculations of strength were made, and as seen as a number of the important parts were pa pared, such as the cast iron girders and wrought iron trusses, we invited Mr. Cubitt to pay a vieit to our works at Birmingham to witness a set of experiments in proof of the correctness of these calculations. We first placed upon each part the greatest load it could ever in practice receive, and proceeded to show that above four times that load was required before fracture would oc cur. These proofs were made on the 6th of September, when Mr. Cuhitt was pleased to state that he never wit nessed a set of experiments of a more conclusive nature. Being thus satisfied by actual experiment that the pro portions of the various parts of the building were such as to insure perfect stability and safety, the preparations of the ironwork and other materials were pushed for ward with the greatest vigour. and large deliveries were made in the park within the next three weeks; so that on the 26th of September we were enabled to fix the first column in its place. From this time I took the general management of the building under my charge, and spent all my time upon the works—feeling that, unless the same person who had made the drawings was always present to assign to each part as it arrived upon the ground its proper position in the structure, it would be impossible to finish the building in time to insure the opening on the Ist of May; and I am confident that if any other course bad been taken, or if, as is usual in the construction of large buildings, the drawings had been prepared by an architect and the works exe cuted by a contractor, instead of, as in the present case, these separate functions being combined by my making the drawings and then superintending the execution of the work, a building of such vast dimensions could not have been completed within a period considered by ex perienced persons as altogether inadequate for the pur pose.—(Cheers.) The erection of the building, now fairly commenced, was pushed forward with all possible speed, and a good notion of the amount of work may be obtained from the fact that at one period we fixed as much ironwork every day as would be required in a roof of extent equal to the passenger station of this town, which is one of the largest in the kingdom.— (Cheers,) It was not until the 31st of October that the contract with the Commissioners was completed, up to which time we not only had received no order for the building, and no payment on account of the work we had done, but we had run the risk of expending upwards of 50,0001. with out being in a legal position to call upon the Commis sioners for any portion of the sum we had so expended; and such was the appreciation of our conduct in this mat ter, that Lord Granville was pleased, in the presence of the other members of the Commission, to state, on the 16th November, that they were of opinion that but for the courage evinced by Fox, Henderson, and Co., in commencing the work without any order from the Com missioners, the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations would never have taken place.—(Cheers.) Perhaps the most difficult and hazardous, and certainly the most in teresting portion of the work, was raising the sixteen ribs of the transept to their places. A month was the shortest time assigned by any one for this operation. We commenced on the 4th of December, and succeeded in raising two in the course of that day. Two more were safely deposited in their places in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the following day. and the last pair on December 12 ; so that the sixteen ribs were all placed in eight working days. As the building progressed I was assailed on all sides, not only by unprofessional persons, but by men of high scientific attainments, who, notwithstanding the careful calcula tions which had been merle, and the satisfactory proofs to which all the important parts were individually sub jected, as soon as these parts were put together and pro duced a structure of unparalleled lightness, doubted the possibility of the building possessing, as a whole, that strength which was necessary to make it safe against the many trying influences to which it must necessarily be subjected. (Mr. Fox, having ehtertained the company with a very Amusing resume of all the sinister predictions and "airy prophecies" which had been indulged in, with reference to the building, at the Institution of Civil Engineers and elsewhere, proceeded to say):—" Before concluding per• mit me to present my thanks to Mr. Barry for his inva luable improvement in the architectural beauty of the building; to Mr. Owen Jones for his many beautiful &- signs for the embellishment of the building, anti to whose taste in decorative art is owing that splendid appearance which has charmed the eye of every spectator; to Messrs. Cochrane and Co. and Mr. Jitbson, for the ener getic manner in which they prepared the castings; to Messrs. Dowson and Co., for their promptitude in deli vering the timber; and to Mr. John Cochrane and all persons in our employ connected with the work for their willing services, so indispensable in carrying oat a con tract of such unexampled magnitude.—(Cheers.) When the Royal Commissioners confided to us the construction of the building for the Exhibition of Industry of All Na tions, I felt that in some degree the credit of England was in our hands—that we had it in our power to achieve that which would prove eminently successful, or in failing to do so would be a source of the most serious disappointment and disgrace, and that we were therefore bound by considerations of no ordinary kind to exert every effort in our power to carry the work to completion in the shortest possible time and at any per sonal sacrifice, and without regarding the question of expense, the more especially as his Royal Highness Prince Albert had invited the world to this great festi val on the Ist of May; and it was essential, as a point of national honour, that this vast edifice should be ready for the recerion of his guests.—(Cheers.) I need not remind you that we cempleterl the contracts, and that our beloved Sovereign presided at the inauguration on the day which had been originally appointed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel a peculiar pleasure in having carried out this great undertaking in the consideration that . it is not a temple in which the representatives of nations will meet together for the purpose of adjust ing matters of strife or questions of warfare, but one in which the Prince has invited all the family of man to assemble in harmony and good fellowship, and where juries, composed of distinguished foreigners and Englishmen, meet together as friends, to decide upon the comparative merits of those beautiful objects of art and manufactures which are the happy results of peaceful commercial emulation.—(Cheers.) Again thanking you for the honour you have this day conferred upon me, the recollection of which will never be effaced from my memory, and also for the kind patience with which you have listened to my remarks, I conclude by wishing you the long enjoyment of health and of that happi ness and prosperity which are fast spreading over the world and which the people of Derby have ever been among the foremost to advance.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast given was the health of Mr. Paxton, which was proposed in highly complimentary terms by the Mayor. Mr. PerroN returned thanks at some length, and in the course of his observations alluded to the unexpected risk which the Crystal Palace had run from the recent balloon ascent. Had the unfortunate aeronauts been arrested in their progress by the arched roof of the transept, they would, he feared, have met with a cutting reception. A great variety of toasts followed, and the company separated, highly delighted with the opportunity afforded them of testifying their admiration for the character and the talents of their now distinguished townsman. THE WAR MEDAL BA2VQUET TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OFRICHMOND. On Saturday night, the banquet given by the war officers, subscribers to the testimonial to be presented to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, in token of the high and grateful sense entertained by them of bis Grace's un tiring and successful exertions on their behalf, took place at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The day was the 38th anniversary of the battle of Vittoria. The chair was taken by Lieut.-General the Right Hon. Lord Saltoun, K.C.8., G.C.H.; and the vice-chair by Admiral Sir Graham Eden Hamond, Bart., K.C.B. Among the company present were the guest of the evening, his Grace the Duke of Richmond (who sat on the right of the chairman), the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Hugh Ross, Sir E. Bowater, Mr. Gathrie, Sir W. Bur nett, Sir H. Halkett, Major-General Sir J. Rolt, Sir R. Murchison, Sir W. Byam, Sir J. Wilson, Sir G. Ham mond, Colonel Allix, Sir E. Belcher, General Llewellyn, Major-General Herring, Colonel Love, Colonel Dixon, Admiral G. Falcon, Dr. Thompson, inspector of hospitals, Sir Charles Forbes, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H.

Most of the guests were in uniform, and wore a number of crosses and decorations, indicating the length and variety of the services upon which they had been en gaged. The character of the company generally was that of old and war-warn veterans, who had done good service " by flood and field," and the assemblage of up wards of two hundred of the most distinguished naval and nalli'ary warriors of the day was not the least inter esting feature of the proceedings. In the gallery were a largo number of ladies, amo ng whom we observed the Duchess of Richmond and a largo party of fishionables. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN said—lt is very gratifying to see the great body of veteran warriors assembled hero for the purpose of doing honour to one of our cloth, because, al though his Grace the Duke of Richmond —(Tremendous cheering for some minutes)—has for some time left the regular service of the country, he has done us the honour of appearing hero in the ordinary military uniform of the country—the nailit;a.--(Loud cheers.) I have no hesitation in saying that his Grace is as gallant, and as good, and as straightforward a soldier as any amongst you.—(Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, it tell to his Grace's lot to go out very yourg to the Peninsula, sad he was made aide-de-camp to the great Duke of Wel lington. It so happened in those days that the Duke of Wellington objected to officers receiving brevet rank until they had joined their regiments. The csnsequence was, that the Duke of Richmond at once joined his rigi. went—the 52d. He threw up ell the advantages of staff service, which we fellows know are very great (Roars of laughter)—and took his part as captain of the 5.21.—(10ud cries of " Brsvo.") In the battle of Orthes, I regret to say, he received so severe a v.sued that I.e -utf.red from it for some time, but it did not stop his gallant career, because I had the honour to see him come into my (Flatters at liougeumont at the battle of Water loo, finfi no man has roue through more brilliant ser shaitmisfaasetaionfe a e n ie o e t s n , er w p h i i i c r iLl 6e m ; ig n h o t t dlia m te a u y pc s in ay , itthwate everywere n n o n t e m b e a t il ti d r occasions w e f in d a h g (Gripers.)

Be that as it may, we are too happy to h ave s opportunity of thanking him for the 3t-rvices thi ren dered us, and most happy to see him here.— The next thing is, I am commissioned by you, gent l e .. men, to present to his Grace this testimonial, which has been subscribed to not only by you, but I am happy to say by a vast number of the soldiers of the British army.—(Loud cheers.) I have now, said the Noble Chairman (turning to the Duke of Richmond), the greatest satisfaction in presenting to your Grace this testimonial of the affectionate esteem and respect of your fellow-soldiers.—(Enthusiastic cheering for some minutes.) The testimonial, which is as yet unfinished, some of the figures in relief being at present represented by plaster models, was then displayed. It was placed on a triangular pedestal of ebony in a recess behind the chairman. The whole is to be completed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, in solid silver, the value of the plate being somewhere about 1,500 guineas. An apology was made by the firm for presenting it in an incomplete state, but we understand that it will be completed by the 4th of August. The following is the description of the testimonial: — On the summit of a quadrangular pedestal is an allego rical group, representing his Grace the Duke of Rich mond directing the attention of Britannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. His Grace is repre sented in the centre, in the costume of a peer of the realm, and has in his left hand the memorial to her Majesty, while with his right ho directs the attention of Britannia to the figures of Mars and Neptune, the repre sentatives of military and naval prowess, and in the hand of Britannia is the war medal which she is about to dis tribute. At the angles of the pedestal are grouped mili tary and naval trophies, between which are panels containing the inscription, which is to be as follows: " Presented on the thirty-eighth anniversary of the battle of Vittoria to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., by the recipients of the war medal, in grateful remembrance of his long and unwearied exertions in their behalf, as a token of admiration and esteem from his humbler brethren in arms, who successfully aided in defending their highland home throughout a long and arduous war, in which they gained a series of resplen dent victories that led to the capture of Paris, Madrid, and Washington, and finally led to an hunourable and lasting peace." Second, the interview of his Grace with her Majesty in relief; third and fourth, the names of the engagements in which the troops were engaged to whom medals had been given. On the base are four groups, viz., two naval, consisting of marines, sailors and buys; and two military, the first consisting of a light dragoon dismounted, light infantryman, a rifleman, a British grenadier, and a hussar mounted; the second, of a royal horse artillery man mounted, a foot artilleryman, a soldier of the line, a Highlander, and a heavy dragoon dismounted; the attitudes selected in these compositions being those of applause for the action of the Duke portrayed on the summit. Between each group are panels, containing the arms, and the lower base is empanelled with t.c o military and two naval subjects—viz., the battles of Vittoria and Orthes, and those of the Nile and Trafalgar, which are placed beneath the appropriate groups. The testimonial stands about four feet high, and will be executed in dead and burnished silver, in the highly finished sts le of art fur which the firm of Hunt and Haskell is so dis- tingui shed. The Duke of RICHMOND rose, and was received with renewed cheering. Be said—My Lord Saltoun, I beg to assure you that I feel the difficulty of Vie task which your kindness and that of my old companions in arms in the naval and military service has imposed upon 111 e. I am happy to say that with every arm of that service which has imposed upon me the difficult task of ade quetely returning and acknowledging the feelings of my heart, not only for the manner in which you have re ceived me on the present occasion, but for the tplendid and magnificent testimonial of your personal goad mill towards me—l am happy to say, that in early life I was acquainted with many of those whom I now have the honour to see around me, and that I always regarded them as friends and brothers.—(Great applause.) I trust, my Lords and Gentlemen, that this splendid tes timonial will descend to my children's children, and that it will be an additional reason to them to take advan tage of their position—to undergo the privations and fatigues end to share the dangers of their fellow-sub jects.—(Cheers.) I hope and trust, too, Gentlemen, that they will not forget the important services which the army and navy of this country have on all occasions rendered; and I hope that it will be an inducement to them to take care that the heroic deeds of times of war are not to be laid aside and forgotten in periods of peace. Gentleman, my humble services in obtaining your just claims have been, by my Noble Friend, somewhat overrated.—(Cries of " No, no.") Gentlemen, you well know the kind and feeling heart of our most gracious Sovereign Lady the Queen.—(Tre mendous cheering.) I am aware of the deep anxiety which her Majesty, from the period of her accession up to the present women', bad evinced in doing justice and in promoting the happiness of all classes of her subjcete. —(Renewed cheering.) Gentlemen, I felt certain that it was impossible but that a Queen of England would feel a deep debt of gratitude to those brave and heroic men, who, devoting themselves to the profession of arms, both by sea and land, have promoted the peace which has so long continued, and maintained her Ma• j.'sty's illustrious family, and herself on the throne of these her realms:and have gained forher, too, the proud) appellation of the Queen ut the Seas.—(Much cheering.) They have placed the empire of England in the filet rank of the ruling nations of the world. It was for these reasons that I felt that if an appeal was really and honestly made to the throne, and if her Majesty had ad visers worthy to be the advisers of the Crown, that ap peal could not be refused.—(hear, bear.) Gentlemen, I feel deeply grateful to my Lord John Russell and hie colleague, for having, afar a former Administration Luse refused it, recommended to her Majesty to grant the just request of the memorial which I had the honour to present.—(Loud . cheers.) Politically opposed as I am to Lord John Russell and the present Cabinet. I must say to the old war officers here present, that I never saw any individual more anxious than he was that your just claims should be carried out.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, don't for a moment suppose that there is the slightest spark f ingratitude in anything I am About to say; but I am about to tell you, my old brother officers of the two services, the feelings of my heart on the present occasion.—(Hear.) I deeply regret that this measure was not extended much further than it has been. I never could understand the reason why the officers of her Majesty's navy, who in single ship action —in capturing privateers at the hazard of their Jives — in defending our convoys, or in their heroic and hazard ous achievements of cutting out vessels in boats from the muzzles of well-trained and well-manned guns in batteries, displaying a chivalry and heroism, permit me to say, which few but British seamen could ever be found even ettrieavouring to attempt—l never could un derstand why these brave men, and the gallant spiri: a the officers, non-commissioned officers, and private,,, who in every part of the world maintain till glory of 0 ir arms, should be debarre I from participating in the to wards they had so justly earned. I ask- 'why should any difference be made between the advanced and the rear guards, between skirmishes usually lly preceding w our greatest victories, when man ystruck dow n by the bullets of the enemy and carried to t general hospital in the rear, and thereby prevented e ofd from sharing a few days afterw ar d s i n the g lories the general battle—l ask why should the no t bear on their breasts the proof that they had been in personal conflict with the enemy, a n d mot© fortunate fellows,thereby doin vico to cleared the way for th eir g goo d sari their Sovereign and th e i r country?—( Ch ee rs.) I have made these remark s at t h e hazard of trespassirg too long upon you, becaus e I f ee l that you w ill think the li g ht infantry soldier should be very quick in his movement?. —(Great laughter.) Nevertheless I do deeply regret, gentlemen, that it did not happen that these medals era Oven some fift een or t w enty years since.—(Hear, ar h .) There not a single individua l whom I have now t e honour of addressing, who cannot call to his min some of the b e st an d bravest men o f all g r . ade , s ra i v n e t s h , e b t a w d st o e p n i e o c : fessiens, who now perhaps, by prive.tion li s e , andeold t i h n eir h thi e r a C its not gladdened by wearing the testimonial, to which they were eraitled, of their Sovereign 'e approbation and their country's gra titude.—(Loud c heers.) The services which upon the present oec ision you represent have placed in every clime in which it has been your destiny to serve, both by sea a nd land, lasting m emorials to the honour, and glory, and renown of the British arms, which probably have never been exceeded.—(Great applause.) You have de fended the standard of England at all hazards, and have left it to your successors untarnished by the slightest wa in. May that flag never float over the quarter-deck of a man-of-war, or be unfurled in battle on the enacts:- guined field of war, save for the maintenance of the honour of your Sovereign, the independence of your country, and the protection of the weak and opprecied of all Wir of the 13s''el geituionn exhibitedt oh'ft4' :111.1 eldmiivi iifi rsT)iavtieel)4:, ettt hNionege.E4,3,l,hreeir.- THE Ce11.1:: A rit' Prince of ['Voles and Prineff br hition, accompanied tiy the King 0 n Safu r d a Y the sad ' ) v d e ,b P e r el i va n e h i e .- , illumined l A ei cu l arar r eni t ya , egd w es sa i t ytv) h yat t n . h .ti dae s .

Her Majesty afterwards went round the western end, and walked down the north gal lery, and round the transept, inspecting the glass, the china, and the porcelain. Entering the north foreign gallery, her Majesty louked at the beautiful wax work, and, descending the first staircase, departed be tween two and three o'clock. Her M a j esty had brooght with her the two infant children of the Duc de Nemours; and immediately on her arrival she had met the Duchess of Kent. Throughout her visit she was accompanied by Mr. Dilke, who went to receive her immediately after Tthe Queen and the King of the Belgians had departed- The Duchess of Kent was attended, in the machin e com partment, by Mr. Hensman, the superintendent. The, Princess Royal and the Prindtss Louisa also visited th: La compartment, and were attended by Mr. Biddell, 4 5 - sistant-superintendent. We may here mention, that Mr. Nasmyth, civil etagi neer, who, as we have formerly stated, attends parties to give explanations of the machinery, was busily engaged throughout the day. Among those present in the Exhi bition before the doors were opened to the public (at twelve o'clodk), were the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord John Russell. In the course of the day we ob served the Earl of Carlise, Earl of Morton, Earl of Bee borough, Lord Stanley, Lord Listowel, Lord Trimlesteaa, Lord Carberry, Lord Delamere, the Countess of Erne, the Countess of Waldegrave, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Maidstone, Lady Alice Peel, Lord Colville, Si r P.

The clay was exceedingly warm. and the heat was in deed extreme—the thermometer having been, early in the morning, 84 in the shade. It may be attributed to this cause, and to its being cooler out of doors than in, that the arrivals were comparatively limited, and that the departures were rather early. The entire numiaee of visitors did not much exceed twelve or thirteen thou sand, and by five o'clock they were leaving rapidly, a n d arrivals had almost ceased. Saturday is of course more a season ti_ket day than any other, and those who pay 59. fur the pl. asure of having a quiet and uninterrupted enjoyment of the Exhibition arrive early. There were a great many persons assembled at the doors before the hour of opening, and a large number of invalids in Bath chairs had (as usual) been admitted before that time. We have mentioned more than once that the foreign compartments are constantly improving; this is Equally true of the Indian.
