BRAND. On Saturday evening a superb banquet was given to the Right Hon. Henry Brand, M.P., by the Liberal members of the• House of Commons, on the occasion of presenting to him a magnificent testimonial in gratetul recognition of his long and devoted services in connexion with the Liberal party. The entertainment was given in Willis's Rooms, St. James's-street, when 237 noblemen and gentle men dined together. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone presided, having on his right the guest of the evening, Mr. Brand's son, and on the left his brother, Lord Dacre. Immediately in front of the chair was placed the testimonial, stated to have cost £2,000, subscribed by 387 noblemen and gentlemen who are or have been Liberal members of the House of Commons. The cloth having been removed, fhe_CitArßmAN, who was received with loud cheers, rose and said—NV lords and gentlemen, I rise to give you the toast which in every gathering of Britons is ever first in the hearts and upon the lips of those who are assembled, and nowhere, I will venture to say, more in the hearts or upon the lips of guests than within these walls at the present moment— (cheers)—l mean " The Health of her Majesty the Queen. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, " The Health of the Prince and the Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family, said—We can wish nothing more for the Prince of Wales than that he may be enabled—and, indeed, it is no slight matter to follow in future years the example of his illus trious parents. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—My lords and gentlemen, I rise to propose you that which is technically and may truly be called the toast of the evening. (Cheers.) And I think I may encourage you to dismiss from your minds the apprehension that it will be accompanied in the same degree as is usual with what is called the speech of the evening. (A laugh.) You, my lords and gentlemen have too much suffered in that respect —(a laugh)—not to make it the duty of those who for the moment have your fate in their hands to be very sparing upon occasions like this ; and there are other reasons which will compel me to be reserved, and to avoid saying on this evening much that it would be gra tifying to me to say and to you to hear, for none of us can venture to say, iu the presence of my right bon. friend Mr. Brand, all that we think and all we feel on this occasion. (Loud cheers.) One word, my lords and gentlemen, I may venture to say —not with respect to Mr. Brand so much as to the peculiar office he has filled, Now, of that office I ven ture to state, without fear of contradiction, that it is in the strictest sense a British institution. (Cheers and a laugh.) I doubt whether the like of it has been reproduced in any other land. Sure lam that this is the country and that ours is the Parliamen tary system to which it owes its origin ; and there fore, as lovers of British institutions, you will for give me if I endeavour to commend to your notice i the peculiar character of this British institution. (Cheers.) It is, my lords and gentlemen, a charge attended with great power that has been in the hands of Mr. Brand. It is something in the nature, I think, on a moderate scale, of a constitutional monarchy—(a laugh)—for the power is great ; but, on the other hand, it is subjected to many checks and limitations. (Cheers.) It has placed him for a long series of years in the most intimate personal relations with us all. (Cheers.) He has probably had opportunities equalled by those of no other man of reading, one by one, our interior minds and characters—(cheers)—because, my lords and gentle men, we all know what it is—that this is a country in which every man of spirit makes superhuman efforts to get into the House of Commons, and when he has got therehe makes efforts, at least as persever ing, if not as violent, to give himself as much liberty as he can in the matter of attendance--(cheers and laughter) ;—and upon the gentleman who fills the office so long worthily held by Mr. Brand depends in essential and vital respects the whole working efficiency of, the popular branch of the Legislature of this country. (Cheers.) May you long be spared to enjoy not only the sight and possession of this feeble testimonial of our regard, but the warm affection and friendship you have earned from every man now within these walls, and from many who are beyond them. (Loud cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, I give you the " Health of Mr. Brand." The toast was drunk amid loud and prolonged cheering, and followed by " Auld Lang Syne." Mr. BRAND, who was received with much applause, said--Mr. Gladstone, my lords and gentlemen, it is not possible, in my opinion, for a man to receive a higher compliment than that which I have now received at your hands. (Cheers.) The gift which you have presented to me is indeed magnifi cent, and will be highly valued by me as long as I live ; but that which gives it especial value in my eyes is the consideration that it is a standing record of . 4d. M STA Pio sd. tion. (Cheers.) I ask you, therefore, to join with me in drinking most cordially " The Health of Mr. Gladstone." The toast was drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN, who, on rising to acknowledge the compliment, was received with much applause, said—My Lords and Gentlemen, I am sure you will do me the justice to believe that it was my de sire, hail it been possible, to have devoted this even ing to social feeling and friendship, to have banished entirely the element of contention, and to have kept one day at least free from strife. (Cheers.) But it really appears that the thing cannDt b 3 done. (A. laugh.) After all we have met here as politicians, we have met to do honour to a poliiician—(cheers) —to do honour to one who has helped us to dis charge our duties better than without him we could have done. And therefore, my lords and gentle men, I do not shrink from the endeavour to return my humble but hearty thanks for the manner in which you have been pleased to receive the men tion of my name. (Cheers.) For many long years, my lords and gentlemen, it has been my conviction that perhaps the greatest pain that adheres to the political profession is the pain of a deep conscious ness of the utter inadequacy of human strength to discharge the duties thatare incumbent upon us. And if I have felt that consciousness at other times, much more, believe me, do I feel it now, when through your kindness, sitting in this chair, I hear my name proposed to you in what may be called a representative capacity, and at a time which, so far as I can measure its exigency, is by far the gravest that we have seen for a quarter of a century. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, I have one comfort amid that sense of incapacity and unworthiness, and it is this,—that in the rela tions between you and me there is nothing that re- fleets upon the honour of England. (Cheers.) The bond between us is the bond of common conviction and common aim, and the resolution to walk in one and the same straightforward path for what we think the benefit and honour of our country. (Cheers.) It is not, my lords and gentlemen, you who have attached yourselves to me ; it is I who have attached myself to you—(cheers)—and I have done so because ever since the commencement of a long public life I have witnessed in others whom I loved, revered, and followed, and have felt within my own breast the growing calls and claims of a sympathy which drew me to a position in common with yours. (Cheers.) When I look back on the history of our generation I ask myself by whom have been achieved the works for which that gene ration will, as we trust, be held in honour by pos terity ? Certainly, by the Parliament and Consti tution of the United Kingdom ; but, within that Parliament and under the laws of that Constitu tion, by the efforts and exertions of the Liberal party. (Loud cheers.) It is needless, my lords and gentlemen, to run down the long roll of your distinguished achievements, and the achievements of those who have preceded you. The only question is as the exceptions, for exceptions there have been. Emancipation of the Roman Catholics was an exception, but the noble-minded man who carried that great act through the House of Commons iu the very mo ment of his Parliamentary triumph, placed his highest pride in this, that he rendered honour where honour was due—(loud cheers) —passing from his own head the crown that was well deserved by his exertions and sacrifices, he gave it to those whose former efforts had sown the seed, and reared the grain ; though they had not been permitted to reap the harvest. Then the same man did the same act of justice on a second occasion, when he set free from the system of depressing and enervating monopoly the industry and enterprise of the three kingdoms. That was the second great exception in which it was not given to the Liberal party to con 870 children. £l5 will keep a boy or girl for one year.

It was compelled to refuse 524 appli cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

There also has been a third exception—in the case of the great question of the repreientation of the people. (Cheers.) But we have lived in times when magnanimity has gone out of fashion. (Cheers and laughter.) But it is not a Par- liamentary Miniater or orator who will render justice to the Liberal party ; it is the judg- merit of the country, it is the verdict of tory. (Cheers.) The verdict of history it would be presumptuous on our part to anticipate, but we have had some opportunities during the last twelve months of testing the judgment of the coun try, and I think if there was a man in this room who was inclined to murmur that the Liberal party should have been defrauded, he will have felt, by the result of the appeals to the public voice, abso lutely and completely reassured.

During the many anxious years that I h tve acted with you in close political relationship I have made many friends; I hope to retain their friendship. Nor am I aware that I have made a single enemy. (Cheers.) If I have 1 hereby beg to be forgiven. (Cheers.) I cannot sit down without conveying a warm expression of thanks to the committee who have watched over this move ment on my behalf. I know how much I owe to their friendly offices in promoting this noble recog nition of my humble services. The right hon. gen tleman resumed his seat amid loud and continued cheering. After a short pause, Mr. BRAND again rose and said—lt has been my duty in the House of Commons to " tell" rather than to talk—(a laugh) —and lam somewhat startled at the novel situation in which I find myself to-day in making two speeches at one sitting. (Cheers and laughter.) In thus speaking twice I am, I know, offending against the rules of our House, but I intend to place myself in order by concluding with a motion (a laugh), for I shall invite you to join with me in drinking the health of our distinguished chairman. (Loud cheers.) My right hon. friend, Mr. Gladstone, in proposing my health, covered me with confusion by .giving me a higher character than I deserve.. In so doing I venture to think he set a bad example, which I do not mean to follow. (Cheers and a laugh.) The truth is, that the high qualities of my right hon. friend are known and patent to us all, and they require no colouring from me, but among those qualities there is one which at the present juncture of public affairs forces itself especially upon my mind. He is conspicuous above all the men I ever knew for earnestness of purpose. (Cheers.) This quality is at least well-timed, for we have some earnest work to do, and we shall re quire earnest minds to guide us. (Cheers.) The work which we as the Liberal party have to under take, stated in the shortest words, is to make the union with Ireland a reality. (Cheers.) The first step towards that end, and one without which there can be no complete union with Ireland, is to terminate that ecclesiastical ascendancy which has been the bane of Ireland for centuries—(loud cheers)—and which has beet! too long forced upon an unwilling people by Kings and Parliaments. (Cheers.) This is no light undertaking, and its accomplishment calls from my right hon. friend, as from all of us, for deep and thorough earnestness of purpose. It will require a long pull, a strong pull, and, above all, a pull all together—(loud cheers)—in order to accom plish it. If Prelacy were established in Scotland, or Popery in England, they would be parallel cases ; but we know that they would be blown to the winds as Establishments at the first breath of the popular will, and that we should carry by acclamation iu the House of Commons a resolution that they should cease to exist as Establishments. (Cheers.) Until this question of the Irish Church has been settled, Ireland will remain in a state of chronic disaffec a conundrum, no better issue could be propose,_ don't think, however, ingenuity has yet been able either to fill up that catalogue,, or even to contribute a few units by way of a beginning. (Hear.) Until we learn what those 32 measures are which we have so bitterly opposed, and on which the pros perity and comfort of the country rest, I don't think we need feel greatly burdened in our consciences on this subject. (Cheers.) They are not measures known to the world ; they are all—even their very Aitles—private and confidential. As far as the journals of Parliament go, as far as 'the ordinary channels of public information go, it has been the Liberal party that has achieved the great legislative changes that have exercised so vast an Muerte-, not only in improving the material condition of the country, but in consolidating the bases of its insti tutions. (Loud cheers.) And now, my lords and gentlemen, with these recollections we have arrived at a period when every one among us must believe that the time is come to determine whether he is a man. (Cheers.) If grave calls have been upon you in former years, graver still aro those that will be made. I pretend to no special skill in reading the signs of the times. I believe I speak of nothing and refer to nothing but what is evident to every eye when I say that the political exigency in the midst of which we stand and into the dense mass of which we arc advancing every day, will make upon us, Lot diminished but continually increasing demands on the exercise of those qualities upon which 'political greatness depends. Never was there a time when there was greater call for circumspection, for cau tion, for moderation, for' the most studious rMasid for every feeling and for every innocent prejudice that you may have to encounter—above all, for measuring every step you take, and adapting the action of the day to the means and opportunities which the circumstances of the day have opened and defined. But, on the other hand, never was there greater call for those other qualities of mascu line decision--(loud cheers)—which you need in order to withstand the clamours that will be raised against you in your endeavours to execute great works of justice. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, so far as I am myself concerned, I own there never has been a time, however tranquil, when it has not appeared to me that the responsi bilities of office, or Parliament without it, were more than apparent Co any man's mind who would apply himself to them. Much more do I tremble now, seeing these increased responsibilities. But this I know, that when duty is set before a man strength comes to him along with that duty; and there never was a time when great exigencies are sent upon a country, and when there are not also sent, unless it be our fault and folly to reject them, courage, prudence, and wisdom to meet the demands that may be made upon us. My lords and gentlemen, I will make bold to say that, with regard to the particular struggle into which we are about to enter, so far as I am myself concerned, so far as any of those with whom I have ha 1 the honour and the privilege to communicate are concerned, it has not b.en entered upon without mature reflection and consideration—and, having put our hands to the plough, we shall not look back. (Cheers.) I have entertained from the first a confi dent hope and belief that a long, though arduous struggle would be crowned with complete success. (Cheers.) After the notice we have had within the last two-and-thirty hours of the step‘by which we are to be opposed, I feel more confident than ever —(cheers)—of the completeness of the success. I also feel less apprehensive as to any intolerable length of conflict. (Cheers.) My lords and gen tlemen, these are very grave matters. We can not too seriously ponder them. Rely upon it, that the questions involve I are not those of this or that Ministry, nor those even, which are far more important, of this or that party. They are in the highest degree Imperial questions. (Cheers.) They go to the very root of our national security and prospsrity. We must gird up our loins and address ourselves, not as to a trivial work, but one dernanAing every exertion we can make, with a firm determination that, so far as depends on our efforts, nothing shall be wanting to establish throughout the civilised world the good name of England, in her relations to her sister Ireland, and to make these kingdoms united, not merely by the paper bonds of law, but by that blessed law of concord which is written in the hearts of mankind. (Loud cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. FEMALE PARISH OFFICERS.—On Saturday the Aylesbury bench of magistrates, at their annual session for the appointment of parish officers for the several parishes in their division, appointed Mrs. Sarah Wooster to tho offices of overseer of the poor and surveyor of highways for tho parish of Ilhnire, there being no other " person " resident there so well qualified to perform the duties. Last year the same magistrates appointed not fewer than four women to similar posts in parishes within the Aylesbury petty sessional division. STEAM NAVIGATION FOR RUSSIA:—The Russian merchants aro yearly continuing to develope the internal resources of that empire by means of steam navigatior. The Tyne has largely supplied Russia with steam vessels, and this spring a fair number of orders have been com pleted. Messrs. Leslie and Co. have finished a fleet of steam lighters of considerable tonnage for river service on the Black Sea; and Messrs. Charles Mitchell and Co. have completed a steamer of 300 tons for the commissioners for improving the Don estuaries ; they have also on hand a paddle steamer for the Volga, and a steamer named the Alexander, intended for the service between St. Petersburg and the principal towns on Lake Onega. She is 500 tons, will have engines of 120 horse-power, will have accommo dation for three classes of passengers, and is specially de signed for river service and for open water. • ARMY CHANGES. —The colonelcy of the 63d Regiment is vacant by the death of General Sir Thomas Kenah. No step has yet been taken to till it. The death of General Sir T. Kenah will give a step of rank to Lieutenant Gene ral Colvile, Colonel of the 12th Foot, Major General Sir C. Straubenzee, Colonel of the 39th Foot, Colonel McMurdo, Brigadier General in Ireland, Major Jennings, 19th Foot, and Captain Warren, 27th Regiment. Major Butler, 36th Regiment, and Captain Croker. 27th Regiment, obtain promotion in succession to Lieutenant Uen#ral Hall, R.E., who died last week. Lieutenant General Stotherd will, no doubt, become Colonel Commandant of Royal Engineers, in succession to the late Lieutenant General Hall. We understand that the army signal question has been finally decided, and henceforth instruction In signalling will form part of our military training. Wa believe that a good many military signal stations will shortly he established in Ireland. It appears that the Government have been advised to construct a fort on the western point of Hayling Island, and extending to the Woolsineers, the estimate for which, as we understand, was £240,000. We are now informed that this. Idea has been abandoned in favour of the construction of a fort on the south-eastern end of the island, at the juncture of Chichester Harbour with the Solent, where a suitable fort can be erected for some. thing like 480,000, and where it will be much more useful, because it will hold the key of the back door to all the forts round Portsmouth.
