The growing importance of South Australia —its vast mineral r i c h es —its agricultural and pastoral capabilities, and the recent dis-. covery of gold fields, —all these features combine to render this colonY. at the present time, particularly attractive for the investment or capita. Th e present Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and acquiring land, and gold and other ores, is South Australia; to be worked, let on royalty, leased, or otherwise disposed of. The promoters of the Company have made arrangements for Le 'purchase of some large and valuable tracts ol mineral and other lands, in some of which the existence of aurifeiou4 deposits has been sat's factorily proved, while in others veins of copper and silver lead have been found to exist. • _Sem° specimens of tb,e gold ores-wlthavhfch-these lands abound; and were sent dirset from the spot, will be remembered as forming an attractive feature In the Great Exhibition last year. It is important to remark, that, of te immediate's comprised in the present arrangement, some are in the ic'nity - , and all are within a moderate distance of the city of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. - So far back as the month of November, 1850, an examination of the South Para and Onkaparinga properties was commenced under the auspices of Capt John Phillips, and the result of his observations was so iavourable as to induce the proprietors to proceed with the investigation, which has been continued from time to time until the present moment, and it now appears to be incontestably established that there exists, at a moderate depth from the surface, a shelf or basin, which is the true auriferous formation; and above this, seve ral deposits of detritus have accumulated, which abound in gold. In the report which has been received it is estimated thaat profittiiese deposits may be turned over at a moderate outlay, lea v i ng of upwards of £50,000 on each of the sections of gold land. This re sult may be obtained as a preliminary to the ultimate object of the Company—viz., the development of the true auriferous formation. Every facility exists Sir the transport and erection of ma .hinery ; the supply of water and fuel is abundant, and, above all, a ready communication exists with the capital. The contract made by the promoters of this Company with the proprietors embraces a considet able extent of land in different dis tricts, a portion being situated on the South Para River, within 25 miles of Adelaide, and a further portion on the Onkaparinga, within 20 miles, and adjoining the newly -discovered gold-fields at Echunga. The auriferous qualities of the above have been proved. On the Wiltshire Survey, 40 miles from Adelaide, there is a large tract which is let to a Company of (Romans, the right to the mine rals being resrved, and thre is nearly a similar extent in the imme diate vicinity of Adelaide, w hich is likewise let with the same re serve. Power will be taken in the statutes to increase the capital, with the consent of the Shareholders• various properties have been purchased for 17,005 Sh ama of These the present Company, and a royally o f one-tenth for g old, an d one fifteenth for other minerals. The capital of the present Comnany will be divided int o 7 5,060 Shares of 42 each, a portion of which, not less than one-third, will be reserved for allotment in England. Th e management of th e affairs of the Company will be confid e d to the Gerant, acting under the immediate supervision of the Conseil de Surveillance.

GLANCING back through the year 1852, E. MOSES and SONS have a duty to discharge to them highly gratifying ; they have to acknowledge an amount of patronage on their Establishmett and its branches which exceeds the possibility of enumeration, and fully demonstrates the established convic tion on the public mind, of the superiority of their system of Business, and the general excellencies of their Goods. This in crease of public favour will never be disregarded by E. MOSES and SON, but will form a stimulant to still greater efforts, where possibility will permit, and to fresh enterprises where these can Procure the best, the most fashionable, and the most seasonable ma terials for every description of Dress, with which they always asso ciate the most artistic, the neatest, and soundest workmanship. The appointment of a distinct class of Artists to each style Of attire, has produced a fit universally famed for correctness and com fort, and in the manufacture of Garments for every station and pro fession in society ; for Sportsmen, Juveniles, and Mechanics ; the most unflinchini regard will continue to be paid, lie highest order of materials and workmanship, and the lowest possible charges will furnish additional attractions for thousands. A degree of patronage unparalleled has been bestowed on the Ready-made Clothing Depart- ment, which it has always been their ceaseless assiduity to render superior to that of any Establishment in the Kingdom, that every person may be supplied at any moment to them convenient, with a Style of Attire agreeable to their wishes, displaying the first order of Materials and Workmanship, accompanied by a Fit superior to the Bespoke Goods which may be had elsewhere. The Hat and Cap Branch has exhibited an impetus in the progress of Business, which has rendered it the Crowning Emporium for all the subjects of our Mighty Empire. The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hosiery Section, on which the great est care, industry, and experience has been employed, has been at tended with unprecedented encouragement; and the world-wide connection of E. Moses and Son have rendered it the Depot for every novelty through every season. Dining the past year, a new field has been opened for enterprise and industry ; a source of wealth has been discovered which has superseded the calculations of the most sanguine, and has proved the revelations of truth more astonishing than fiction ; though Gene ral Outfitting has always been an important branch of E. Moses and Son's business, and has through a series of years been available for Emigrants to all parts of the world, yet the new requirements of a large portion of the population have been met in the most compre henslve manner by the Outfitting capabilities possessed at the Estab lishment of E. Moses and son; their Wholesale business affording facilities of the most momentous order, and the unity of the largest stock of Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., hc., ever known, have proved in the highest sense advantageous : their thorough and practical ac quaintance with the goods required for any voyage or climate, and by every class of Emigrants, Ladies or Gentlemen ; their readiness to afford assistance, and gratuitously to give all necessary information to all intending Emigrants, has given a popularity to them as Out fitters, 'which has eclipsed all others; and that every convenience might be possessed by Emigrants, they have kept a separate Depart ment for Outfitting, conveniently communicating with the other sec tions of their great commercial Emporium. Now entering upon the Empire of the year 1853, it is the intention of E. Moses and Son to give each branch of their daily increasing trade their minute, practical, and tindeviatin attention that :their Establishment and its branches may continue the national deposi tories of novelty and fashion, the recherche of taste and skill ; the magazine of articles o utility and comfort ; the assemblage of every order of Goods required at home or abroad ; that punctuality and attention to all commands and that quality and economy in every class of articles may give them the opportunity, and the pleasure of extending the benefits of their great commercial facilities to all classes throughout the kingdoms of the world. Indulging the warmest hopes of being able, as the year progresses, far to exceed their professions, and to help on the comfort of all who remain at Home, and all who Emigrate, E. Mossy and Sore earnestly and cordially wish all their Friends and Patrons A HAPPY NEW YnAR. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with Theft Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to iii many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NO CONNEXION WI TH;NY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen.

All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : " Winchmore 11111, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. . • . " Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. _ _ _ " To Mr. T.

Just as we reached the great plain of the volcano we approached the southern limit of the wood, and, on turning its corner, Mauna Loa burst upon us in all its grandeur. The day was extremely fine, the atmosphere pure and clear, except a few flying clouds, and this im mense dome rose before us from a plain some 20 miles in breadth. I had not, until then, formed any adequate idea of its magnitude and height. The whole dome ap peared of a bronze colour, and its uninterrupted, smooth outline was relieved against the deep blue of a tropical sky. Masses of clouds were floating around it, throw ing their shadows distinctly on its side, to which they gave occasional relief and variety. There was a bluish haze resting on the plain, that apparently gave it great distance, though this was partially counteracted by the distinctiveness of the dome. I now, for the first time, felt the magnitude of the task I had undertaken. So striking was the mountain that I was surprised and dis apiiaiited when called upon by my,friend, Dr. Jlidd, to look at the volcami Of Kilauea; for I saw nothing be fore us but - tlinge pit, black,- ill-looking, and totallydif ferent froth whati had anticipated. There were no jets of fire, no erruptions of heated stones, no cones, no thing but a depression, that, in the midst of the vast plain by which it is surrounded, appeared small and in significant. We hurried to the edge of the cavity, in order to get a view of its interior, and as we approached, vapour issuing from numerous cracks, showed that we were passing over ground beneath which fire was raging. The rushing of the wind past us was as if it were drawn inwards to support the combustion of some mighty conflagration. When the edge is reached, the extent of the cavity becomes apparent, and its depth be comes sensible by comparison with the figures of some of our party who had already descended. The vastness thus made sensible transfixes the mind with astonish ment, and every instant the impression of grand eur an d magnitude increases. To give an idea of its capacity, the city of New York might be placed within it, and when at its bottom would be hardly noticed, for it is three and a half miles long, two and a half wide, and a thousand feet deep. The bottom looks, in the daytime, like a heap of smouldering ruins. The descent to the ledge appears to the sight . a short and e as y t as k, b u t it takes an hour to accomplish. We pitched our tents in full view of the volcano, and sat on its northern bank for a long time in silence. We succeeded in reaching the second ledge, though the way to it is steep, rugged, and uncertain. At the edge of the pool, or lake of fi re , the light was so strong that it enabled me to read the smallest print. I was struck with the abse nce o f any noise, except a low murmuring, like that which is heard from the boiling of a thick liquid. The lake was ap parently rising, and wanted but a few feet of overflowing its banks. When I began to reflect upon the position we were in, its insecurity, and the vast and deep fires beneath, with the high basaltic walls encompassing us on all sides, I found it difficult to comprehend how such a reservoir can thus be pent up, and be viewed in such close proximity without accident or danger. The whole party was perfectly silent, and the countenance of each individual expressed the feeling of awe and wonder which I felt in so great a degree myself, and which the scene was so well calculated to excite. No one can see all this, and yet doubt the theory of the igneous fluidity of the centre of the earth. All combustible causes that we are acquainted with are totally inadequate to produce such an effect. The whole seemed boiling up like a fountain, differing only in density and colour.—From United States Exploring Expedition. RETIRING PENSIONS OF MINISTERS OF STATE.—Con siderable curiosity is entertained as to the retiring allow ances of Ministers, and very little is generally known on the subject. The salaries and pensions of the several Ministers are as follows, viz. :—First Lord of Treasury, salary 5,000/. with official residence, pension 2,000/. ; Foreign Secretary, salary 5,000/., pension 2,0001. ; Home Secretary, salary 5,0001., pension 2,000/. ; Colonial Se cretary, salary 5,0001., pension 2,0001. ; Chancellor of the Exchequer, salary 5,0001. with official residence, pen sion 2,000/. • First Lord of the Admiralty, salary 4,5001. with official' residence, pension 2,000/. ; President of Board of Control, salary 3,5001., pension 2,0001. ; Pre sident of Board of Trade, salary 2,0001., pension 2:000/. ; Irish Secretary, salary 5,5001., pension 1,400/. ; Secre tary-at-War, salary 2,5801., pension 1,400/. ; Joint Se cretary of Treasury, salary 2,0001., pension 1,2001. ; First Secretary of Admiralty, pension 1,2001. ; Vice- President of Board of Trade, salary 2,0001., pension deprives the one and the other of all offensive power, of all offensive privilege—(hear, hear)—and. leaves them only so much influence as to steady said balance tile machine of the constitution, and prevent the rapid and constant fluctuations that might arise from the unchecked exercise of the immediate popular will. (Loud applause.) Now, starting from the other and opposite point, let us look to the great example of the republic of the United States ; injustice—l do not hesi tate to use the word—led to resistance ; resistance led to revolution - revolution led to the full enjoyment and full success of popular principle and popular rights ; and yet in the very flush of triumph and success, when some excesses might have been pardoned, in indulging a spirit so congenial to the feelings of the country, and which had acquired so great a triumph, the far-seeing statesman of that day foresaw it would be necessary, to a certain extent, to check the predominance of that purely popular influence, and to interpose—not, indeed, that they borrowed from the mother country—but in terpose some cheek which would tend as a balance to the constitution and as a counterpoise and equivalent to the House of Lords in the mother country, as far as such an equivalent can counterpoise. Gentlemen, much no doubt may be said against the doctrine of hereditary succession, and more especially hereditary legislation. Yet let me be permitted to refer to a word or two which fell from the President on this occasion. He has quoted one instance in which the example of the father is not wholly lost on the son ; and some seven or eight and twenty years ago, I was led—a much younger man—to visit that republic which he has likened to an infant Hercules. So my son, inheriting his father's desire, has visited that matured republic—there seen the rapidity of the growth of the institutions, and the moral and material prosperity;.} the country, and been able •to e s ti m at e h ow rapid and great is the growth of a country whose institutions are deeply interwoven in the hearts and affections of the people of that country. (Great applause.) Gentlemen, no doubt, against hereditary legislation much may be said—much that is very plausible, and much that is very sound • and far from me be it t o sa y that all the members of that house to which I have the honour to belong are perfect models of legislators— (laughter)—or have made ample use of all the advan tages they possess. Yet I will venture to say that there are advantages in that hereditary legislation of the House of Lords, which are not to be overlooked in an old country like this, and which form an important ele ment and link in our free monarchical constitution. Gentlemen, it is something, perhaps, that the certainty, in the course of human events, of being called upon to perform the duties of legislation encourages the eldest sons of peers, at an early period of life, to devote them selves to public service, and instead of wasting their time in idleness and folly, to apply themselves to the public interests, make themselves masters of public af fairs, and to enter life not as members of an exclusive body, but applying to the favour of the people for seats in the popular House of Representatives. (Applause.) There they learn their habits of business —there they learn self-sacrifice and devotion of their time and labour to the public service; and when, in the course of nature, they succeed to the Upper House, they bring with them those habits of business, those habits of labour, but still more those sympathies and those affections, as directed towards the interests of the public and com monalty of the country, that they could hardly learn in any other school so well as in a popular assem bly, elected by a popular franchise. Gentlemen, I may also venture to say there is another advantage. As we all know, the next object to the acq u i s iti on o f a position and a place in society is the power in this coun try of transmitting that power and place to those who are to follow ; and depend upon it, in stimulating to great exertion and calling forth noble enterprise by it in the ranks of the army, and the law, of commerce, or of professions, be it known to all the motive is not a small one, which looks not only to securing present and per sonal advantage for oneself, but for transmitting to our posterity the permanent advantages derived from that position, and something perhaps from the name of those who have gone before them. (Applause.) Now, gentle men, allow me to ask, is the House of Lords in this country, what in some other countries it may be, an ex clusive branch between which and the rest of the com munity there is an impassable gulf. There aro countries in which noblemen and the commonalty are so far sepa rated that from generation to generation they are within the same country, but not connected together—in diffe rent societies, and incapable of passing the barrier which subsists between them. Happily, far different is the case with us. The House of Lords in this country is constantly receiving fresh reinforcements and influence from the popular element, constantly receiving rein forcements of new blood, while, on the other hand, in the second generation at all events, the younger sons of the peerage are merged in the commonalty, and be come a portion of the general mass of the community without any separating barrier.- --- Gtntlenier; rthink I could hardly take a stronger instance of the manner in which these reinforcements of the House of Lords take place than those which have occurred in the last ten months—in three cases, the only three in which I have had the honour of advising the Crown to grant a peerage. These three cases are drawn from three different professions. One was a noble and gallant officer, connected originally with a distinguished family, but still more distinguished for havin g been many years the right-handed counsellor of th a t distinguished and lamented man this country has lately lost. In the chief command of the army he had attained a military name, and his services were well known to every military offi cer, and his conduct in that position was well and highly appreciated. (Applause.) The second was a gentleman of a family of recent origin, but whose services in the diplomatic career have reflected even additional lustre upon that great name which you inilii;;;;nhad many years ago the honour and privilege of calling your own representative, bearing the name of Canning. (Hear.) The third was a gentlenton whose parents were of the very humblest class, whose parents had no higher rank than small shopkeepers in a little country town, who started in public life with no advantages beyond those of his own ability and his own energy ; and yet, by his own labour and his own talents, without any adven tituous advantages, passing through all the higher ranks of that laborious and learned profession to which he had devoted himself. It will ever be a satisfaction to me that I advised the Crown to call to Qs House of Lords, as Lord High Chancellor of England, the son of a small tradesman of Lewes, who has illustrated his own name and character as Sir Edward Sugden ; and who has reflected, I will venture to say, still higher honour by the name of Lord St. Leo nards. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I can hardly give, I think, three stronger instances to show that while, according to the working of our Constitution, a seat in the Lords is an object of just and laudable ambition, how far that distinction is constantly open to every rank and class, and how, by the instance of three different professions, the only three in last year raised to that rank is afford ed the oppprtunity of showing the favour of the Sove reign conferred upon individuals possessing high and me ritorious claims in those professions. (Applause.) Gen tlemen, I trust you will fo rg i ve m e f o r h aving said t h ese few words upon the subject of that House ; but, before I sit down, I hope you will allow me, upon my own part, upon the part of the Government to which I have lately had the honour of belonging to, and also, I will venture to say, upon the part of the present Government, and of every Government which can exist in this country, to express how strongly I feel, and how strongly I am sure they will all feel, satisfaction at that friendly feeling which upon this and upon every occasion has been mani fested and proved to exist between this great country and hardly less country, the residence of our brethren of the United States. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) Sir, it affords me particular pleasure to have this op portunity of testifying, under the presidency of one to whom the commerce of Liverpool is greatly in debted for the efforts he has made to increase its accom- modation and facilities—(hear)—to meet upon this occa sion the distinguished representative from the United States—(applause)---with the representative of that great country, with whom we have so many ties, of laws, of language, and of liberty, with which it is of the utmost importance to the interest of the whole world that we shOuld maintain the friendly relations which happily subsist at this moment, and to have an opportunity of assuring him that whatever ministry may hold the reins of government, they, unless wholly blind to the interest of their own country, as well as the world at large, can have no other object than cultivating the friendship of the United States. (Loud applause.) My honourableable friend, if I may so be allowed to call him, the minister near ne, has adverted to some diffe rences w hi c h h ave arisen between us, and some points which have led to controversy and remark ; I will not, of coupe, upon such an occasion as this, enter upo n a discussion of the merits of that question, but of which I feel convinced that the best mode of settling th e differences which may arise between this country and the United States espe cially—but I will say also, this and any other count ry is a frank and moderate communication of moderate views and claims, temperately put forward and steadily enforced upon the part of the representa tives of those nations. (Applause.) And I am sure of this, that while a tame concession of any important rights never affords real satisfaction to either of the parties, even that to whom it is made or that which makes it, intai so !i ned b the y a cal m and temperate other ha n d t h e frie ndshiperat lieve to b e their rights e of nations is best ma assertion of that which they be ig • and on the other ha n d by a mode ra t e and liberal view ' of those And which a 7 the rights an d privileges of others. Uni let me mention, more especially w i t h regard to the ted States, there is on their part all that plain straightforward habit, honesty, and fair dealing, derived, I will venture t o say, from their English ancestors, which will never induce th em to think the worse of aßritish minister who steadily maintains that which he conceives to be the interest of his country ; and at the same time does not desi re t o push those interests beyond the limits of friendship and goo d f ee li ng which the two countries mutually demand. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I have no fear of any question, of any differences arising between the 'United States and this country. We have too m n a lo n l y , ties to bind us together. We have the ties of common language —the ties of common laws in manyrespects— we the ties have the ties of common liberty—we e ____ of rapidly extending and increasing commerce good feeling ice have also ties, I am sure, of personal to bind us together ; and . my if questions arise in which differencebselieoff iB Op opinion BANQUET TO THE HON. MR. ING_ERSOLL, THE AMERICAN MINISTER. The Hon. J. R. Ingersoll, who succeeds Mr. Abbott Lawrence, as American Minister to the British Court, was entertained at a splendid banquet on Monday even ing, given by the American 'Chamber of Commerce, at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. Sixty gentlemen, in cluding the Earls of Derby and Sefton, sat down to dinner, the chair being occupied by Mr. Eyre Evans. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, The CHAIRMIN proposed " The health of tb e Presi dent of the United States." (Cheers.) The Hon. J. R. INGERSOLL briefly returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN said he had now arrived ,at -what, in banquet phraseology, was called 'the toast of .the even ing. It was, " The health of his Excellency the Hon. Mr. R. Ingersoll, ambassador from the United States to the Court of St. James's." (Vehement cheering.) The toast was drunk with loud applause. The Hon. Mr. INGERSOLL, in responding to the toast, spoke nearly as follows :—Mr. President, my lords and gentlemen, a public compliment in England is altogether welcome. It is especially so in Liverpool, because it sounds like home, and comes near to the heart of an American. (Hear, hear.) I accepted it with the utmost gratitude—l receive it on behalf of my country, and I return it cordially in behalf of that country and of my very humble self. We are in the midst of Liverpool. Our hosts are the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool ; their guests' are i di k die ushed noblemen, officers, military and civil, and s they enlightene:d gentle men. Both are representatives of a social, a. political, and a commercial principle—they grow out of the close intercourse of two great nations. (Applause.) Wherever Liverpool has led the way towards the existence of a general feeling which I must say I have had the happi ness to meet in this country wherever I' have had the happiness to be, of kindness and goodwill towards my country, and Liverpool has a right to lead in almost everything—it is equally to be rejoiced at, for the cause and effect. If, however, it has happened that the sentiment throughout the country and the sentiment in Liverpool are each but the echo of the other, it amounts to the same thing, and both are welcome. Liverpool might be called, it would not be doing injustice to the other places which might put in claims for it, the Queen of the Ocean, entitled to wear the crown, entitled to wield the trident of Neptune, not as the sceptre of war, but as an emblem and instrument of marine power of peace and harmony. (Loud applause.) The great metropolis of the country, which for ages has stood unrivalled in her relations, might put in her claims. Our own city of New York, which stands with her long arms stretched out to reach towards Liverpool, might also advance some claim to a similar position. But Liverpool has done much towards such a result. Here she stands upon the very edge of English ground, with her magniiicent docks pushed into the very waters- of the ocean, ready to send out her freights, with the course of every descending sun, to the now not distant land, and to receive appro priate returns. But Liverpool is not merely a place which commerce departs and to which commerce re turns. Her inhabitants are in the habit of calling her a seaport, with great modesty, as if the seaport were the great characteristic that belonged to her. It is true that she is a noble seaport—that she has done everything al most which can be conceived, is doing it as its popula tion advances and its wealth increases, for the purpose of making this, her seaport, if not the first, as near as may be the very first, in the world. (Loud applause.) It is at present, I believe, the largest for exporting com merce. But independent of all that, Liverpool does herself great injustice if she does not pride herself upon her domestic and internal arrangements. (Hear.) The seaport is but the gate to a magnificent town—it is the opening to the hospitality, and wealth, and all the elegancies of polished life . Your architecture is as chased as your public institutions areliberal and charita ble. (Applause.) Your docks, which I have had the honour to visit to-day under the best of auspices, that of the Mayor of Liverpool—(applause),—are amongst the most magnificent works that can be conceived ; but if I were to specify an object which struck me this morning as especially entitled to the respect and consideration of a stranger, it would be that public libragy r where yours men were drawn off from the haunts of vi ce , from the g tendency to dissipation, from possible evil company, by occupying their minds with every sort of proper amuse ment and instruction. (Applause.) A tribute of this kind is due for the hospitality received and the kindness manifested ; but it is not exactly what I want to bring to the consideration of this company, that is, that in Liver pool there is the best opportunity of cultivating that kind of good feeling already referred to, which begins in the spirit mentioned by the chairman, and may, perhaps, terminate in the same Anglo-Saxon feeling which one day, in defence of constitutional liberty, may call us, shoulder to shoulder, in the defence of our common and equal rights—(applause);—it is, that the stranger, com ing from my native land, reaches first the port of Liver pool, derives his first impressions here—makes his first and fine pasturages, and the robu s t population, an d t h e ac quaintances here. Before he passe ability, and wisdom, and patriotis m which he w ill fi n d s on to the green fields, in the interior, he has seen all that is wise, benevolent, and charitable in Liverpool -- it is th a t a t l a st, after paying his visit to this blissful and blessed land, he re turns to his own country through the town ofLiverpool, and carries with him those last impressions, which are likely to be the strongest, to his own country, to his own friends, to his own family, and t o hi s own people. (Ap plause!) Mr. President, it is the circumstance of form ing associations such as that to which I have alluded, and of giving them force and influence during our con tinuance in this country, which give rise to the occasions which have taken place, some of late, some of weeks, months, or years ago, which I will call for a moment to the attention of all who listen to me, reciprocated, and with a z e a l and feel which have been feeling which I trust never will be forgotten, eith er on the part of those who receive or communicate th em . On the 19th of June last, in the river Congo, on the coast of Africa, an American brig ran aground. She was beset bY about'3,ooo savages, who with their hideous y e ll s, armed with muskets, sabres, and bayonets, and f ortified with ropes and ladders, were about ascending the vessel ; and when every individual on board would have been massacred, her Majesty's brig Dolphin, Pprnallanded by Lieut, Wood, came first to the rescue Of 'this vessel. 'He sent a can nonade on board, threw shell - Amon the Approaching fol lowed by' which burst and dispersed them. the Firefly, Command er savages Seymour, who gave like He was aid, and, with the assistance of these two vessels, 3,000 i r t i im e e v ly ery ass o is n t e anes, would she have savages were dispersed, the American brig got off, and, h ac e b r uknt vo °b : lll"h age d I h ed e i l m miieate .these L T. since I have been -.4,ets. to the Foreign beenasiapnb Department, r h t n e odtgmel ascteanrnp resumeodt t a y: with the thanks . of th e President of the United States. This is one side of th e p i cture ;i n Liver pool you have recently been made a cqua i nted with ano ther. As the American mail steamer, the Pacific, was making her voyage from New Y or k to Liverpool,' she took a somewhat northern passage, and encountered a vessel at sea waterlogged, quite helpless, loaded with timber, and therefore in no danger of sinking, but in danger of going to pieces. The sea Was so rough that it was impossible at the moment to send a boat to her, and it is likely those individuals would have perished-16 Britons—but they were in the presence of Americans, who stood near, if necessary, to sacrifice their lives in the attempt at succour. They remained six hours in the neighbourhood of the vessel ; found it then possible to p send a safety boat down ; arrived at the James Stephens ; she who were on th e i r brought them ;and which exist delighted n took safety voyageaofee l k y on board to tho e assist—restored tN—Glasgow—ands the sor ew, to ri l te 6 dm whomisthev Britons,ourer fell ow - c i tizens were a 1 l ' and these d ible cir cumstances, friendly as they are — brotherly as th e y un doubtedly are—may be aided most materially b y cir cumstances of intervening interest% which undo u bt e dly exist between eethnetsheectiwrcoamcosutanntricees ;enfidarest it is p roper , there fore,s between brothers and friends, more than s t rangers , should also be noticed. It is within the recoll ec ti on o f some individuals now living that the first parcel of cot ton from America was brought, I believe, into this port. blteetnookgrsoowmne in nime America.be for ethe The people believ e d t h at i t had little p arce l has since grown to 3,000,000 bales a year. England rec e i ve d two thirds of this quantity, or 2,000, 000 bales, and our own country consumes the rest. This is one bond of union. (Applause.) We have 19,000 ves sel s engaged in the traffic between the two countries, amounting to about 3,000,000 of tonnage—by which ve ss els, which are the transporters of every species of commerce between the and we ar e as near as t w ithstandmg that the Atl an ti c rolls between us. (Applause.) it is possible to be, no one country and the other, a bridg e is almost built be tween one country and the other, But the re ' are o th er capitalists— we men of enterprise. Your capital, the accumulation sometimes of generations of hereditary imes of lab e o a u l r t e h d indus try,some- sources of interested intercourse. You are times of prudent economy, 9 here, and the one and the our enterprise seeks capital assistance and advantage, and other are thus a mutual of goodwill. These are which tend to foster the best couple seeks investment on throther side of the Atlantic ; some of the circumstances which us together , ties— but there are other circumstances—more important " Which round the hut are woun', And cannot, will not be undone." Our daughters aro married to your sons—our sons are married to your daughters. A constant communica tion between these countries of affection, blood, and marriage subsists, and thus the ties are rendered almost sacred—(applause)—to break them would be like intro ducing commotion, disturbance, and civil war the worst of wars, into either of our countries, on the one side or other of the Atlantic. Now, with all these in ducements and reasons for harmony and goodwill, is it possible that there should subsist anything but that sort of good feeling between us ? We are derived from the same - race, and speak the same languag,t-;4ur ancestors are not precisely the same, but the intlividuals who frr,,nred our form of government, who framed the vonsti tution of the United States, as it has stood from that hour to this without alteration, were at one time Bri tish subjects, and became only by the separation of two great countries citizens of another empire. They gave to our constitution and laws a system, an order, derived. from Great Britain, which had grown up in Great Bri tain during the course of centuries, which had its force, arid has now its permanence, from the stability it ac quired here. (Applause.) If there were advantages when a united government, there came other advan tages as independent governments afterwards, in the immense government which subsists in trade, and the mutual improvements which we derive from each other— in even the occasional interpositions of forgotten language alnong you which you considered obsolete, but we have preserved, and sometimes phrases which you thought extra ordinary at first but were afterwards kind enough to adopt (laughter)--thus mutually to reciprocate kindnesses of all sorts, even in those respects which perphaps were least expected from the other side of the Atlantic. (Loud applause.) . But it has been expected upon this occasion that some little allusion should be made, and I know I can without impropriety, to circumstances which tran spired, in which a point was made of departure from that good-will which has so long subsisted, and which I trust may subsist for ever. (Loud applause.) lam not going to discuss any subject that is or may be at issue between the two countries. I know of no issue that can be between these two countries that can lead to other wise than the most pacific and honcturable result, (Loud cheers.) We hive seen' on both sides of the Atlantic notice taken of some little matters of dispute which did occur a few months since—we have seen it noticed in the House of Peers of Great Britain—we have seen it noticed in the House'of Commons of Great Britain—we have seen it referred to in the very Message of the Pre sident, and all with feelings of that sort which cannot possibly lead to anything but the most agreeable and harmonious result. But why should it have been for a moment that there should have been feelings either of or even something worse than ill , will—tendencies to hostility between us ? (Hear, hear.) It consisted of certain colonial assertions and rights, those rights being at one time in common between the two countries, and being precisely the same as were secured by the treaty of 1765, and continued till war broke out between the two countries. When a treaty took place, and it was only in after years that these difficulties occurred, which I trust will be reconciled, because on all occasions when these subjects have been alluded to, other subjects have been introduced, which will make it one of mutual benefit in the result. What is the reason that when we are settling this matter of a mere fishery, a much broader view cannot be taken of the whole sub ject than bas been in England and America Why should not a commercial treaty be founded upon it which should be beneficial to both countries, and especially those colonies more immediately interested in regard to the fisheries ? (Applause.) Besides, it is all but impos sible to suppos e th a t th ese colonies will not be greatly the gainers by a commercial intercourse in which they will participate more largely than anybody else—not having in themselves the materials of manufacture, grain, breadstuffs, on the one hand, wnile they have the timber, the coal, and the fish, if you please, on the other. But why is it, when these fisheries are not themselves multi plied to an extent almost to infinitude ; for I think we are told by writers many years ago, and still there are sometimes millio ns o f acres o f fish below the surface of the waters ready to be taken by those near them, whether near to the land or distant from it ? It is well known that a singular fish of a particular breed—the female cod, lays between three and four millions of its offspring at the same time. There was a period when our writers wrote largely upon this subject--some 38 years ago, when the fisheries were considered more important round the island of Great Britain than the colonies. Both, however, are important, and b o th, I t rust, w i ll find a result in'har mony, peace, and goodwill, such as subsists between the two countries. Ido not intend to occupy more of your time, having spoken more than I ought perhaps already —(no, no)— but I recollect that Liverpool was the abode of one who has done as much for the elevation of the public mind, by his introduCtion to us of the commercial men of other countries, as any man who ever lived— William Roscoe—who, by giving you the lives of such men as Lorenzo di Medici, made you acquainted, made us acquainted (for English literature is just as familiar in the United States as in Great Britain)—made us acquainted with those merchants of Florence who did such honour to their country by their hospitality and commercial enterprise. I think we are told that that very Lorenzo, M. o-e life is given to the wo r ld, h a d no monument in Florenee. But his monument is composed in the English literature which Roscoe gave to the world, which all of us have read and admired. It has been said by the chairman that we speak one language. A tie can scarcely be more extended than this by the social in tercourse which we happen to have— by facilities in the course of business—by all that makes us the same except the distance of place—by the frame of our Governments, founded alike on constitutional freedom, one undivided people. I trust, in sentiment and heart, we shall con tinue so to the end of time ; and whenever circumstances shall render it necessary for one to come to the assistance and relief of the other—as we have &me in those in- stances upon the ocean at the savage banks of Congo— as we have seen them illustrated wherever occasion called them forth, shall see them illustrated to the end of time—when you, and I, and all, will rejoice in one flesh, one brotherbood, and one friendship between Great Britain and the United States of America. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose "The Health of the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby," a, toast which was received with immense applause. In proposing the toast the chairman alluded to the transcendant oratory of the noble lord—to the high offices he had held in this country—and also to the fact that Lord Derby had visited the United States many years ago in order to make himself acquainted with the people and with the government of that country. The Earl of DERBY, in responding, said—Mr. Pre sident and Gentlemen, the kindness of the reception which, not for the first time, I have received this even- ing in this town, proves to me, in a manner most grati- Eying to my feelings, that a public man, however he may agree with or differ from those with whom he is associated, may assume, may retain, and may retire, or perhaps be expelled from office—(laughter)—without forfeiting in the slightest degree the personal respect and the personal good feeling of his fellow-countrymen, who, whatever may be the soundness of his views, he has endeavoured anxiously and diligently to serve. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I assure you that I deeply _ . feel the &)mplirdeilt which you . have paid persOfially to myself, and also to that body of which I am a humble member, and over which I do not pretend to exercise one-tenth part of the influence ascribed to me by my hon, friend the president this evening. Gentlemen, with regard to myself, I can only say that I feel deeply grateful for this high mark of your con. fidence and your regard, that I shall endeavour, on every occasion, whether in public or private life, so to conduct myself, as, whether you agree with or differ from me in political matters, you shall never have reason to condemn or to censure the conduct I shall pursue as a private person. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, perhaps I may be permitted to say a few words upon the subject of that body with which you have identified me this evening, the body of which I have the honour of being an unworthy member—to say a few words upon that body, which is, I conceive, an important and essential part of the monarchical con stitution of this country. And I say it rather, because I say it in presence of an honourable gentleman with whom I am proud to acknowledge the friendly relations which subsist between ourselves—l hope I may say, and I am sure I may say between our countries—with whose institutions that body would be highly incongruous, and in whose institutions accordingly it finds no place. And yet, gentlemen, in that count;g in that great republic — in that rising and rapidly-increasing empire as we may call it, but an empire without an emperor—(hear)in that growing, that immense republic, we find that the wisdom and the foresight of the great and illustrious founders of that constitution (and greater and wiser men have seldom appeared upon the public stage of history) round it incumbent, even in the first flush of the triumph of popular feeling, to interpose some bar rier between immediate legislation and the direct re . _ flection of the popular will: True it is, they had not, and if ,they had, it would have been wholly inconsistent with their institutions, a hereditary chamber ; but they supplied in a different manner, wisely adapt ing it to their own institutions and system, a barrier interposing between the direct representative institu tion and the legislation of the country, founded upon the elective principle wisely adapted to their own in stitutions—founded, although upon the elective prin ciple, yet with a different basis, and representing a different class of interests ; and it is singular enough that the two great countries —now, I may say, almost the only homes and refuge of liberty throughout the world—these grest countries under which, with diver sities of institutions and diversities of habits, there exists at the same time a great uniformity of principle, and a great similarity and identity of laws, as of lan guage—that these two great countries should have formed their constitutions, starting from precisely oppo site points of view. In this country the rights of the people, and the liberties of the people, have been of slow and tardy growth. We started from the other end of the scale, with almost unlimited monarchical power, and aristocratic and feudal power of almost boundless extent. By slow degrees the rights of the people, as the enlightenment of the country proceeded, have made their way and acquired their due preponderance ; and they have attained in this country that state in which I will venture to say that, not excepting the great re public of the United States, there is no country in which a larger measure of rational liberty is enjoyed than that of which I have the honour of being a native. (Applause.) We have reduced in this country the power of the Crown and the power of the nobles to an amount Which r Ze r , ri;„. •co mnication will nt only remove • At: •s it will also tend to. :make the fact of those di' erences having arisen-extend- into-a sy s t em ofreciprocal advantage and the greater e xtcnsion of com mercial intercourse between the two countries. (Ap. plause.) And lam satisfied of this, t hat we can have no representative more fitting to maintain these views and keep up that friendly communicat ion which w as carried on, I am happy to say, by his immediate prede cessor' than one who will unite with the frank, liberal, ind cordial spirit which actuated him—a firm devotion to the liberties of his country, at the same time that h e respects the rights and claims of those who, on the part of this country, can put forward matters to him ; and I am sure we can have no one more fitting to discharge those duties than him whom you have honoured, and who has honoured us, your guest this evening. (Applause.) His lordship, again acknowledging the toast, resumed his seat amid enthusiastic applause. The company separated a few minutes before twelve o'clock. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. SECOND DAY'S POLL. The polling commenced at 10 o'clock, and although no tatement was given out at 11 o'clock, it was generally nderstood that Mr. Perceval's friends bad reduced his inority of yesterday to five, the numbers being at that Gladstone Perceval.. In another hour, the friends of M r . Gladstone- had in creased his majority of 5 to 15, the numbers being at 12 o'clock, Gladstone Perceval.. At 1 o'clock, Mr. Perceval's friends reduced Mr. Gladstone's majority from 15 to 10. The numbers then were, Gladstone lOB Perceval 9B The poll was adjourned from 1 until 2 o'clock, when it re-commenced, and went on slowly and equally, for at a quarter to 3 the numbers polled were, Gladstone, Perceval. . 142 . 133- ;.i~:;j~ After this, Mr. Perceval's supporters proved to be more numerous than those of his opponent's, for at the close of the poll for the day, it was as follows : Gladstone l7l Perceval Majority The poll was opened at 9 o'clock this morning. The number of members of Convocation, according to the " Oxford Calendar," in January, 1852, was 3,352. The number at the present time is supposed to be more than it was then. SOUTHAMPTON. The nomination for this borough took place yesterday in the Town-hall, Southampton. As there was some opposition to the re-election of Sir A. J. E. Cockburn, on his acceptance of office under the new Ministry, the proceedings were chararterised by considerable anima tion. Mr. A. B. Cochrane, who was defeated at the last general election, contests the borough with the At torney-General, but his opposition is not of an active character, as the hon. gentleman relies upon the peti tion presented against Sir A. Cockburn for bribery and treating, and will, in the event of his re-election to-day, present a petition and pray for the seat. After the usual formalities, • Mr. R. ANDREWS, ex-Mayor, proposed Sir A. J. E. Cockburn. The Derby Government, he said, had had a fair trial, and now we had a new Ministry, in which were Radicals, Whigs, Conservatives, and Tories. He was very glad to see the mixture. It had all the talents, all the power, all the desire, and he believed all the ability to carry out measures beneficial to the mass of the people. As to the petition which had 'been presented against the late election of the hon. Gentleman, Sir A. Cockburn, he believed, would sooner give 1,0001. than that this petition should be withdrawn, and the present Attorney-General would come out of the inquiry a spot less and honest man. (Cheers.) Captain BowvEn seconded the motion. Colonel CRABBE proposed Mr. A. B. Cochrane as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of South ampton. Mr. Cochrane was before the electors some four or five months ago ; and, although he was not suc cessful, he had polled a very large number of votes. The hon. gentleman's opinions were, he believed, the same now as they were when he last presented himself before them, and he was still anxious, as he had always been to carry out measures for the benefit of the work ing classes, as well as for the rich. (Cheers and disap probation.) Mr. KING seconded the nomination. With regard to the malt-tax, he was, of course, as a brewer, in favour of beer—(laughter)—but he doubted whether it would be for the benefit of the working classes to take oft' the malt-tax ; for he believed the greater part of the proposed remission would come into the pockets of the brewers. This was a personal question, and he did not think it ought to have been put to him, but, as it had been put, he had answered it candidly. (Cheers and laughter.) Sir A. J. E. COCKBURN, on presenting himself to the electors, was received with great enthusiasm. e asked. for the indulgence of those present, as he had been suf fering for some days from severe indisposition, which had not been improved by the exertions he had gone through within that period. After alluding to the career of the Derby Ministry, and exposing the defects of their finan cial and commercial measures, he went on to say that the new Ministry had been formed of men of various shades of opinion, and no one would dispute that it em braced an amount of ability such as no Government which had been seen in this country within the last half century had been enabled to bring to the administration of public affairs. (Cheers.) On the same bench in the House of Commons would now sit Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Sidney Herbert, and Sir William Molesworth—(cheers)—in the Cabinet ; out of the Cabi net, besides, there would be such men as Mr. C. Villiers and Mr. Bernal Osborne ; and if her Majesty's principal law advisers should be less efficient than might be desired, he could say that his colleague and coadjutor was one of the ablest men who ever raised a voice in Westminster ball, and he would add that two more sincere and zeal ous reformers of the law could not be found than his colleague and himself. (Cheers. The present Govern. ment was one which, if you looked at the various mem bers of the Cabinet as politicians, as orators, as states men, and as administrators, might challenge comparison with any Administration ever formed. (Hear, hear.) But they were told it was a coalition ,- and England, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer had told us, did not " love coalitions." No, England did not love coalitions, if by coalitions was meant a combination of men who sacrificed principle for the sake of power and place ; but if they found men forgetting their own personal claims— (hear)—if they found men uniting where there was no sacrifice of principle, and for the interest of the public service, to form an Administration which could carry on the Government of the country efficiently and well, the people of England, who loved to be well served, who loved to be served by men of ability, and talent, and experience, would not object to a coalition, which, while it involved no sacrifice of principle, brought into the pub lic service the greatest possible amount of talent and ability. But was there any sacrifice ofprinciple on the part of any of the new Ministers ? Don t let them blink the question. He had been charged with having sacrificed his principles and his political honour to a desire of place, and with never having had any other motive than th a t which actuated the adventurer and the place-hunter. These were serious charges, and ought not to be want only or recklessly made. His principles had been known to them from the time he first came forward to contest the borough, and if he believed that in joining this Ad ministration he should sacrifice aught of those principles —if he believed the government wished to go backward instead of forward, or that they were less likely to attain the objects which he had at heart, in common with his e(CcthoeresrstO t place, otherhe would ohid Government.askthe electors —he sho u ld t hi n k himself unworthy of standing before them if, un d er such circumstances, he had But, joined inthe th ifirss o r any remember what were the principles he had always main tained, and whether they were likely to be i compro mised by association with the present Administration. It was true that the Prime Minister was Lord Aber deen, with whom as a party man h e h a d not hitherto acted in commo n . B ut lio one could deny that Lord Aberdeen and the members of the party who had acknowledged him as their head were at least men as to whose honour, probity, and integrity' there could be no question. Sir R. Peel, n. They were the men who, with .gave up place and power in order to carry out that " just, • th se, and beneficial measure"—(loud cheers)—whereb theings of industry were light ened and the food of e they scattered personal and people cheapened. For that party considerations to the winds ; for that they forewent place and power, and bmi sll tted for six years, as it were, to remain a com paratively small and insignificant party in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) But their political honesty was only made the more apparent and manifest by this. What had been the first object of Lord Derby when called on to form a Ministry at the first resignation of Lord J s o s hi! Russell ? Why, the first person to whom he addr:e ... , T himself was Mr. Gladstone and his party ; but Mr. ( l o T: e -i r stone refused to unite himself with Lord Derby in power —another proof of the right hon. gentleman 's political considerations of a honesty, and of his superiority to all c° ll gr a at discus personal character. Then there came this eve ry one would sion upon the budget— a questio t ir e , as the country. By a admit, of most vital importancehe face of Parliament and union, which took place in et peat , party and the of the nation, between th Liberals, th e financial scheme , as Mr. Gladst one had already publicly de e of the late Government was defeated.

He acknowledged without re serve that he did not believe any Gover nment could stood against that serried phalanx which Pave *sts andrepre sented the agriculturi the greater portion of the aristocracy, unless composed of the remnantof Sir Ro bert Peel's party and the Liberals. (Hear, hear.) It was necessary for the public servic time financial schemes of the late .97 -nay, more, deeming with danger, if not destruction,Ministry to be fraught to the empire, he believed not only thpublic required that that . with . lc service, but the public safety, Administration should not be suffered to return to power, (Hear.)
