BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of • Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con es:Menem resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded thee h e alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is ent. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are irinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday ofiuconstderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and howthe evil and Its consequences maybe avoided, and, above ail, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

And allow me to ask what do county members know about mangold wurtzel ? (Laughter.) I suppose we are invited because we are expected to say something about Delhi land Cawnpore ; but my friend has said no thing political is allowed. Well, I will promise not to say anything about Delhi or Cawnpore tonight. I will 'dick to farming on this occasion at any rate. (A laugh.) I like those cups that have been dis tributed this evening, but I harAly admire them empty. (Laughter.) I should like to see them filled with real good ale, such as I used to have when I was a young man—ale of 10 bushels to the hogshead--4hat was the thing when I was young ; but it has now gone clean out of the county, for I don't know where it is to be found—in fact, I don't believeit is t o b e f oun d i n t h e county. It hasbeen said that the longer we live the more we advance. That may be true to some extent, but wo don't advance in all things —at least not in beer. (Laughter.) But you must advance ; you must leave nothing undone that you ought or can do. It is all very well for a boarding-school girl to say, "I have only another year to stay and my education will be finished." That might do for her, but not for a man with any brains at all. (Laughter.) A man never haa his education finished, and all I can say to you in this room is, that it you do not farm be:ter now than you did ten years ago you must bs great dolts indeed. (Laughter.) I see on one. of the banners here the words, " Scientific Agriculture." Well, that means that you must experirnentalise. You cannot do anything without experiments. You cannot advance in your undertakings ; you °intuit effect any grand improvements ; you cannot hope to succeed, without you make experiment-. It is to the results of experiments you must look for advancement and success. You may talk of education ; but what is the use of all your educa tion without you put it to some practical use ? lam no enemy of education ; but I am an enemy to cant and humbug wherever I find it—(laughter) —and I think the present systeni of education in your schools is n )thing more than rank nonsense. I want to see every class of society, everybody edit cated. The farmers need some additional educa tion, and I should like them to have it and their children, too, and the children of the peasant popu lation I should like to see better educated. But I want to see them have a practical and usefel eche.- cation ; and one great feature is, to make the girls cook and wash, which many of them cert drily can not do at the present time. (Laughter.) It is no good talking about education without you are pre pared to teach something practical and useful. As I before said, I am n ) enemy of educ ition ; but my opposition certainly extends to the present use less system adopted in many instances. I went to two ministers of the Crown last year, when an immense number of skilled artisans were out of employment at Woolwich, and what do you think those two fellows told me ? (A laugh.) Why, they told we that labour would find its level, like water. Very likely • but water did not have a wife and seven children. (Much laughter.) It is all humbug to talk about supply and demand. (A. laugh.) I have no doubt that in the cohr.se of ' time, the Dorking labourers may be compelled to go to Liverpool for employment ; but if tip* wait until Liverpool can employ them all, I am, afraid many will di e o f s t arvation before the day arrives. Ther• is no' doubt, however, that you are better farmers than the round frock farmers used to be. But where is the round frock Ido not lire to see that superseded. It has, however, gone out of fa shion of late; but I do not know the roaseh why. A similar change has taken place in Scotland since Englishmen took to grouse shooting in that part of the United Kingdom, for at the present time not a kilt is to be seen but what are worn by Englishmen. (Laughter.) But lam tiling you, I w:11, however, again impress upon you the necessity of becoming scientific agriculturists. You must learn to kuow what you require, and how to apply it when you have obtained it. There is a medical man sitting at this table ; but what good would he be if lie did not know what to do when called upon I It was no use when one child was sick here and another there, for the doctor to say he did not know what was the matter with them, but to give them physic merely because it was physic, without knowing what effect Sn - •-i34 1..0nn know what your land and what your roots require before you apply your present remedy for all ills— dung (laughter), merely because it is dung • and what ix dung ? Only something that stinks. (Much laughter.) You must find out what your turnips and your mangolds require before you apply the same thing to both, when perhaps one ought to bs treated quite in a different manner. It is true, perhaps, that a man, after 40, never get a new idea; but you have sons and daughters ; you must see that they don't fall into the same errors as those who went before tbem. Forty years ago it was a rare thing to get wheat weighing 601 b. to the bushel ; now, however, nothing is thought of 66:133. ; but l e t me tell you that you are cultivating more wheat than you are mutton. (Laughter.) You can't go on in this way much longer ; for what is supposed to be mutton now is made of great lambs, and is no t mutton at all. Another thing I w i s h to say a word or two upon—namely, the improved dwellings for farm labourers. My friend here (Mr. Hop .) is as rich as Croesus—(laughter)—and what is more for tunate, he is a very benevolent man ; and so he builds very fine cottages. But there is a very im portant question to be asked, how does the system pay ? You can't look for more than 31. per year rent for your cottages from farm labourers. No doubt some charge more ; but that is wrong ; 31. is as much as you ought to expo t to receive. Well, then, if you build large helms how is it to pay ? Houses must be warmed—net that I believe an c o a r na steal o r ( w L o a o u d g h T e i r in . ) ty e y y s havefuel,y personbe cause o nlyt o in t s t h t h e e i y p s it. over a hedge into any person's field, and they can find as m uc h as th e y lik e; and of course any person living in a wood country would be a fool to buy any fuel when he can get it for n 0 - thing. (Laughter.) So in the north, where people lived at the mouth of the coal-pit ;of course they did not purchase fuel. But fuel cannot always be had for nothing, so that it will be useless to build. large houses with great windows if the people in tending to occupy them have nothing to warm them. All these are practical questions of detail; but they are worthy of consideration, and the whule wisdom consists in their successful application. Several other toasts having been given and re sponded to, OPINIONS OF M.P.s ON THE INDIAN MUTINIES. he had received from the town on every occasion of his having presented himself. He felt pleased that, meeting as they did for a philanthropic object, the gloom which had overspread the face of the country, in consequence of re cent disastrous events appeared to be about to dis perse. It was a matter of pleasure and also of con gratulation that at length those clouds which had obscured the horizon seemed gradually to brighten, and he trusted would soon disperse. (Cheers.) They must congratulate theinselves that while those clouds still hung over them, and while the assist ance of all right-minded ,and good-feeling men throughout the land wets required, the borough of Reading was not behind hand. (Cheers.) They had seen the magnificent and truly philanthropic subscription from this borough, which added to the credit it had already maintained. He sincerely hoped that we had heard the worst of the news which wa s t o come upon us from the far-distant re gions of I n di a. (Rear.) He thought that it must be a subj ec t of pride and congratulation, in th e midst of th e m i sfortunes that had fallen upon us, to consider th at those very misfortunes had given rise to di sp l ays of English courage, energy, effort, and per;:everance which must impress the nations of th e world with the conviction that the prestige of England bad in no way diminished. (Cheers.) We had seen some instances in India not merely of military glory, but instances of courage, energy, and of perseveiatice upon the part of that handful of Europeans who-remained in that mighty empire without extraneous applause that must have struck all Europe with admiration. (Applause.) It was a subject of the deepest congratulation—he would say of thankfulness also, that the great event which had lately taken place was the destruction of the stronghold of those miscreants that possessed it, and the utter annihilation of the shambles in which those butche-s of humanity revelled. (Ap plause.) It was a subject of congratulation to think that that had been achieved before the arrival of one of the 40,000 bayonets despatched from this country across the seas to their assistance. He would say that the effort which sent across. those 40,000 men within the short space of a few weeks after the news arrived, which found this country disarmed and in its peaceful garb, when this country had reduced its war establishment upon the proper cry of the people, in which cry the town of Reading and himself took part—he would say that when taxa tion was reduced and the country was disarmed, the effort made by the Government of the country in sending out the enormous force it did under such circumstances, and at such a time, across the wide ocean to vindicate the rights and honour of this country was without parallel in the history of Eng land. (Appl ause .) Th e S o li citor -General after. wards dilat e d upon t op i cs w hi ch were only of local interest. MR. LABOI7CHERE. On Monday last, at a meeting at Taunton, pre sided orer by Mr. Kinglake, M.P., the author of Eothen. C ~,~ i'~ ~~ ~~ Mr. LABOUCHERE, in responding to the toast of "The members for the borough of Taunton," spoke at some length upon the subject of the day -.. the.lndian muti n y. It was f ar f rom his intention to enter into any discussion of the causes of that mutiny; but he could not help saying—and he was persuaded that he was not speaking his own senti ments only, but those of every man who heard him, when be said—it was an honourable distinction of tke times in which they lived, that whatever party differences might exist among them, and whatever divisions there were in England upon questions which arose suddenly among them, in the face of any great public difficulty and danger they were united as one man. (Cheers.) Englishmen pre sented their closed ranks on all great occasions of national peril, and whether it came upon them in the form of a foreign aggression or in the shape of this great Indian calamity, they assumed the ap pearance of a noble and united phalanx. (Cheers.) Those events had excited in that town not only the interest they could not but all feel as Englishmen, but also a painful anxiety among many families there who had been grievous sufferers by the calemity ; and the horrors of it had been brought home to their bosoms by the accounts of the un paralleled sufferings of their countrymen and countrywomen, which they had received from time to time. He begged them to believe that the mem bers of her Majesty's Government were endeavour ing to the best of their ability to discharge the great duty which devolved upon them at this mo mentous crisis. At present it was their determi nation boldly to confront the danger, and to assert the law and authority of British rule in that country. (Cheers.) They were all aware under what circumstances the Indian insurrection took place. Undoubtedly it took them by surprise ; and for some time our countrymen --.b mere hand ful of men —were left to enter upon one of the most tremendous struggles which we had ever had to encounter. The first assistance came from ' Englishmen, but not from England. There were, fortunately, in parts of the world nearer India than England the means ofsending help to our countrymen in India. It so happened that a large expedition was going to China under Lord Elgin, and Lord Elgin, with a promptitude and energy which did him infinite credit; without waiting orders from England, as soon as he heard of the state of mat ters in India, made the best of his way with the troops to the scene of the disorder. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Labouchere) might also say, connected as he I was with the colonies, that this country was under a deep debt of gratitude to the Governors of Ceylon, the Mauritius, and the Cape, for the timely sue cour and assistance afforded by them. His friend, the Governor of Ceylon, surrounded by a large body of natives, at once despatched almost every European soldier he had in Ceylon in order to lend the most timely aid to the Governor of Bengal ; and in like manner the Governor of the Mauritius sent off two regiments, the arrival of which in In dia he verily believed had the effect of preserving the peace in the district where they landed ; while the Governor of the Cape supplied a much larger force. Most fortunately, at the time when those events happened in India, the danger of a great Kafir war was no longer imminent ; Sir G. Grey was therefore enabled to send off four regiments to India, and he (Mr. Labouchere) hoped he would be able to contribute still further forces. He thought the conduct of the English colonists at the Cape was beyond all praise, coming forward and volun teering as they had done to perform garrison duty, besides contributing money, to send the earliest and greatest amount of assistance at a time when no soldiers had yet arrived from England. (Cheers.) That fearful interval of apprehension and anxiety, he trusted, was now at an end, because they had the assurance that thousands of English troops would have, ere that time, been landed on the soil of India ; and he hoped that henceforward the ti - ings they might receive from India would be those of the gradual re-establishment of peace and order in Web XlO4 (01.mvao.) IL .• w uuq.. to presume to predict the result. That was yet in the hands of Providence alone. Every hour might bring them accounts from the scene of action that the expectations which they had reason to form had been realised. But he felt confident that the Government of this country would not fail to act up to their fearful responsibilities, which they be lieved were not lessened, but increased, by the man ner in which they (the Government) had been sup ported by all parties in the country. He acknow ledged that it was the duty of the Government not only to put clown this rebellion and to esta blish law and order, but to look c!osely into the causes by which it has been produced, and to ex amine narrowly the circumstances of the Indian Government, not only in its military organisation, but the civil administration of the affairs of that country. (Cheers.) That duty, he thought, the Government were prepared to undertake, and nothing, he trusted, would be wanting on their part to the fulfil men t o f i t, i n t h e full con fidence that they will be supported by the country. (Cheers.) PRE EARL OF HARROWBY. At the annual dinner of the Sandon and Mar ston Agricultural Society, at Sandon, on Wednes day, the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby, in pro posing " Th e H ea lth o f t h e Army and Navy," spoke as follows :—I eannot mention the army without reverting to what our soldiers have been an l ate undergoing in India ; I cannot mention the name of the army without thinking of that distant land where our brave soldiers are undergoing all the horrors of war, aggravated by an unhealthy climate, and the treachery—l do not know whether to say the treachery of friends or of enemies. The accounts of this mutiny have reminded me of the expression of the Psalmist— " If it had been mine enemy that had done this I could have borne it." If the calamity had come upon us from some foreign foe it would have been bad enough, but coming from our own subject., our old familiar friends, it is doubly hard to bear. Gentlemen, you know what difficulties our army has had t encounter. Not only have our country men had to meet danger upon the open field, where man meets man in honourable fight, regulated by the common princip'es of warfare, but it has met them in their own tents, around their own mess tables, amongst their own people, who had in many cases deceived them by assurances of friendship and fidelity. They were unprepared to meet the dan ger ; they were scattered up and down in hundreds and fifties ; they were surprised, and had no time to organiss a plan of det4be e ; they have met an - - •at Acre.r7" -4-r ewe petted to find friends. ell, gentlemen, how have our countrymen behaved under these circum stances ? Their conduct has rendered them objects of affection and esteem to their countrymen, and has elicited admiration and applause even from the most jealous of our neighbours. ,It used to be said in Pagan times that the noblest sight the gods en joyed was to s e a good man struggling with ad versity. Gentlemen, lam quite sure that the his tory of the world has furnished no nobler spectacle for the admiration of either gods or men than that exhibited by our gallant countrymen in India. Taken by surprise, attacked by overwhelming numbers, and without provisions or adequate means of defence, they have yet manfully held their own, waiting for succour to arrive. That succour, gentlemen, I hope is nigh, and the worst is past. Our few troops were at a distance of half the world from succour ; they were taken at the most un heal. by season of the year • they were totally un prepared for the danger. We had guarded against danger from outward foes, but not against trea chery within ; and when the native troops proved unfaithful we were almost without Euro pean troops to fall back upon. But even under diffi culties like these our men have been abl e to h old their own. (Cheers.) But for the news of th e l ast two days we could not have said more than thi s ; b ut now we may FAY that not only have th e y b een able to hold their own, but they have re -conquered the ancient capital of India. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen I think now our anxie ties with regard to Indiamay be said to be almost at an end. A• continuous stream of Brit i sh troops has for som e ti me been landing upon the shores of India ; and I am quite sure the next mail will bring us news of t roops pouring in from a ll t h e diff erent presidenci es , from Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras, and up to th e Indus, sufficient to re-establish every where the sup remacy of Britain. Let us not forget, in the feelin gs w hi ch naturally ar i se at t h e success ful terminati on of the struggle, our own shortcom ings. Very r ecent l y, when the war w ith R uss i a broke out, and we were broug ht i n t o contes t w i th the most pow er f u l military nation in Europe, we were taken unprepared. We then swore by all the gods that we never would be taken in that way again. But as soon as the war was over what was the course we pursued ? c , Get rid of the income tax—cut down the army—ecut down the navy," was the cry ; and in compliance with that demand the Government did reduce the army and navy until, when this mutiny broke out, we were entirely un prepared for it, and had hardly a soldier in the country. Enough of this, gentlemen ; let us not do so again ; let us in future not only be prepared to make sacrifices in the face of danger, but when the danger is past, gentlem-n, I hope that lessons from the Crimea and from In lie will not be thrown away upon and that we shall n o t b e f oun d un prepared in future. It is difficult to separate the tiou of the future government of India. It is, of question of the present mutiny from the considera course, impossible at this moment to fix the precise limits of the struggle ; but there is no doubt our rule will be re-established over that country ; and then will come the important duty of re-organising our government over 130 , 000 ,000 of people. The government of India is a problem of whi c h th e his tory of the world furnishes no solution ; and oar indulgence is demanded for those upon whom the task of reconstituting our government in that country h t t ry at more m ayfallh. It has been a s u bj ec t o f reproach toas not been don e f or I nd i a i n t h e improvement. No doubt more m i g h t h ave y o u must bear in mi n d th e di f fi cu l ty beenway of done, but arising from the danger of offending the prejudices and outraging the feelings of the natives, while we were obliged to govern by the aid of the natives themselves. If we had a sufficient number of Euro pean troops to govern the country the case would be different, but that is manifestly impossible ; the finances of the Indian government would be ruined by the attempt. We must govern it through the people themselves, through their own feelings and prejudices, or give up the attempt to govern it at all. The noble lora, after a few other observations, directed attention to the beneficial change effected in the moral character of our soldiers during the past few years, an d concluded by proposing the toast above referred to, which was enthusi a stically re ceived. - A testimonial, consisting of a magnificent tea and coffee service, was presented to Mr. T. Page, the hon. secretary, for his indefatigable exertions in carrying on the affairs of the association. The proceedings were continued until an advanced hour of the evening. THE MEMBERS FOR EAST SUFFOLK. Mr. W. MILES, M.P., in acknowledging his health at the meeting of the Farrington Gurney Agricultural Association, said, that on an occasion like the present, it was generally expected that a representative should declare his opinion on the most important public measures of the day. He believed that if ever there was a question on which unanimity prevailed throughoutthe country among all classes, it was that of the Indian mutiny. They could not but look back with horror audthedeepest disgust at what had taken place in that country , —a country in which we had been known for up wards of a century as Englishmen—a country in which we had endeavoured as much as we possibly could, and with great success, to educate, and at the same time, as far at; Government could, to do good to the natives ; and yet, when little expected, though foreseen by some who had been many years resident there, a mutiny had broken out which had put in jeopardy our Indian empire, and in which bad been exhibited horrors of the most detestable character. He was always for mercy when mercy could be fairly meted out, but one cry had gone through this country—that of summary vengeance upon such scoundrels as, de spising our rule, bad wreaked their vengeance on unoffending women and children. Not only our countrymen, but our countrywomen and their chil dren, have been massacred, and, until a thorough expiation took place, England, he was prowl to think, would never be satisfied. That a great change must take place in the Government of India he had no doubt ; that was a subject which was growing in the minds of all men who gave it the least consideration. At present, however, they had nothing to do with what the future Govern me !nt of India should be. But of this he thought there could be no doubt, that a double Government could no longer exist that the Queen must rule su preme iu that country, and the whole of the Minis ters must be subject to the e-mtrol of public opinion rather than under an Indian Board. The chairman had alluded to the heroism of those little bands who had withstood such onslaughts in India. Great As had been their prowess, did it not strike all who had thought upon the subject that if a Providence from on high had not directed their hands —if the Almighty,. whom we revered, had not been with them, their strength would have been idle, and no longer should we h ave ma i nta i ned our dominion iu - . . , . . . , ~_ . , .

The same thing had" been doge, by D r . Nicholson, at " Pearetb," and the same rule had been applied at Kendal, in Cheshire, and in p art , of Lancashire, and was working well 'wherever it had been adopted, by putting the management of those institutions into the hands not of three fourths or of two-thirds of working men,. but the whole managing committee shall he, according to this rule, men receiving and living by weekly wages. (Hear:) The chairman had alluded to the measures of which be (Lord Brougham) laid the foundation 40 years ago in respect of the charitable trusts. He had recently witnessed an instance at Brummagem (Birmingham) of the good which had resulted from the inquiry of the commissioners ; a large revenue of 13,0001. had been recovered, and King Edward's College founded, which college was disseminating the blessings of education. His friendfiir John Pakington had said that religion's instruction was the basis of all education. The great problem was how different sects could be _united under one sys tem of education, it beitg admitted that religious instruction must needs be the foundation ,of educa tion. (Hear, hear.) It was found that.all sects united together in that school, and his friend was sanguine enough to hope that the same kind of sys tem there adopted may become universal. In all the education bills be had presented, first in 1820, then in 1830, 1833, 1836, and 1837, and.down to three years ago, that had been the great :obstacle, the uniting of persons of different sections and opi nions, which would now, if the opinion of his friend was correct, disappear. The chairman had referred to the establishment of local courts. He Was much satisfied with what had been acquired. His bills of 1828, 1830, and 1833, had not been carried to the length he could have wished, as the: County Court ought to possess an tqaitahle jurisdiction, and be extended to 1001. instead of 501. His lord ship next r ferred to the . petition presented in Par liament by several of the most eminent solicitors in London, in which it was stated that they could not ad vi , e any client to go into chanceryforany less sum than 1,0001., as they would probably get no remedy, unless perhaps a remedy worse than the disease. (Laughter.) His lordship next referred to certain bills which he bad broughtintitne after time, which after passing the House of Lords, which w as agreat e. thin, were thrown out by the ouse of Commons. The House of Lords had been called thceobstruc tives, but of late it was the ()liar way. His friends Mr. Howard, Mr. N. Hodgson, and Mr. Steel be longed to the profession. (Laughter.) Butahe truth must be told, and if there were obstructives in the way they were not in the House of Lords. Some times they (the lords) did perform a little feat of obstruction themselves ; but the obstruction has not been somuch with them lately as with.the House of Commons. The act Of 1811, which he succeeded in passing, put that infernal traffic of slavery, not as an offence agaitist the revenue, but a; a crime of the deepest dye, and which was followed by the final abizeition of slavery. These were great and glorious triumphs, and as far as England was con cerned, slavery in her dominions existed no more. These were great triumphs of the principles of hu m tnity and of justice; but if we were called upon to retrace our steps, and to retravel the ground for 70 or SO years—if we were called upon to restore Africa to the horrors of that infernal traffic, or our West India settlements to their state of negro sla very, should we not rather any other course, than lie guilty of such weakness? And the abandonment of our Eastern Empire would be productive of pre cisely the same effects—(applause) —for it was not that England depended on India for wealth, not teat England depended on India for power—if England had neversetfoot in India, or if Ludiawere taken from her, her wealth and her power would still remain the same, but then we should hand over millions of the unhappy inhahitants of India to all the horrors of primitive barbarism, as when our reign ceased, there would then commence the reign ~f anarchy, of rapine, and of blood. We, who had for a lengthened period, in fact fr en our possession of India, imparted a partial civilisation ; we, who had conferred upon them the inestimable blessings of an administration of justice, generally speaking pure —pure when compared to her own, we should then hatad those unhappy people over to all the horrors of thegovernment of their own native chiefs, still fighting among themselves, and bringing the treater amount of misery upon their unhappy slit j• vs. Therefork . tthe thought of a b an d, ul i ng Itidia was entirely out of the question—(hear) —that is, providing we are not compelled to give it up, Leaven avert the possibility of such a thing ! He (Lord Brougham) did not believe that it was within the limits of possibility that such an eyent shonl Siappeu. „ be Igwerea, our reputati , ,n tarnished ' • and when natio na l honour depart e d a country lost its only safe protec ton. Some one once said to Mr. Fox, " This is a war only upon a point of national honour." "Only upon national honour," said ho, "i should like to know how any war could be defended upon any other ground. (Hear, bear.) Unless you come to a point of national honour, which means national existence, you had better not go to war at ail." He therefore called upon them to make every snerifiee, and to strain every nerve; for if they were driven out of India, they were safe nowhere else. His (Lord Brougham's) hon. friend had said, that after this great struggle was over—it was only a struggle with an armed body of mutineers —that when the struggle was over, much would remain to be done to prevent the recurrence of mischief, and to iva prove the administration of the country. The giving of it up was impossible on all bands, for we were habituated to supreme sway there; we were inured to empire, but some modification of our government—of our administration rather than our government—was required, which would come under the consideration of Parliament. Another point mooted was the limits of the retribution to be inflicted, but that question would be decided long before Parliament was called upon to deliberate. Justice ought to take precedence. Far be it from him (Lord Brougham) not to wish that every possible means should be taken whereby the innocent should be separa`ed from the guilty ; but that severe punishment was ne cessary —that retribution was almost a matter of course—that, as on the banner before him, justice must be placed above mercy, was a matter of ne cessity. Oilier banners might placo the words " Peace and harmony, honour and loyalty," on a level, but justice and mercy must follow in 3-• quence, and justice m us t p rece d e mercy. (Hear.) 'Though not immediately connected with social progress and social economy, it seemed impossible tor him (Lord Brougham) to refrain from saying a word on the subject. (Hear, hear.) He begged once more to return his most hearty thanks for the great, the almost unexampled kindnessiwhich had been conferred upon him. His lordship resumed his seat amid loud applause. Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to, and when his lordship left the George Hotel he was loursly cheered by an immense con course of people who had assembled outside. !~. I I /-‹ \v l 7, India ? Providence bad been seen in all their acts, in all their heroism ; and he was proud to say that in almost every one of those short and soldier-like letters coming from General Havelock the first power he alluded to was the Almighty, as gainin 'he victory. So long a s we trusted in the Almighty hand—so long as we did everything in our power to promulgate Christianity throughout idolatrous lands, if we only prayed and supplicated, if we only looked for aid from on high, the Lord would defend us. It was under His power that the little bands in India had gone forth to fight ; they had been maintained by that power, and by it he believed the enemies of England would yet be subjugated. Such was his belief—such, be felt convincad, must be the belief also of those who had hitherto been enab'ed to withstand such mul- tit udes. Those treacherous mutineers were men who had lven trained in our own service—men who had proved themselves good soldiers in many a fight ; and yet when they had turned against us— when they had spurned the haxtri that cheridied them, and which had brought Chris ianity and civilisation among them—there had been a power extended to save us, and to show to the world that England was destined to go forth and conquer by the exhibition of the cross. Mr. W. F. KNATCHBULL, M.P., in alluding to the same subject, speaking of the murders and atro cities committed isludia, said he trusted that these dreadful butcheries would speedily meet with the chastisement they deserved, and that the troops now arriving in India would inflict just vengeance both upon the instigators and perpetrators of the murders which had disgraced that land. He felt confident that the generalship of Sir Colin Camp bell, aided as be was by those Generals and the small bands that hitherto had kept their ground against thousands, would he able in a short time to put an end to that mutiny, and so bring peace and prosperity again into the country. He fully con curred in everything that had been said by his hon. colleague on this subject, and they might rely upon his giving his most earnest consideration to every thing that was brought forward bearing upon it. TIIB EPIDEJJIC AT LISBON. LISBON, OCT. 24. The prevailing epidemic appears to be increasing instead of yielding before the advance of winter and the prevalence of a much colder atmosphere. The deaths during the last ten days have averaged some 80 to 90 daily. It is said that the Viscount de Hotta and Carlos Bento, Minister of the In terior, are indisposed. The well known actor Epi fanio, of the Theatre of Donna Maria IL, is among the recent victims of the fever. Although au immense number of the inha bitants of Lisbon have fled into the villages and townships around the capital, few cises of the epidemic have yet occurred there. The King still continues to reside at Necessidades. Political and commercial news there is none still nothing is talked about or thought of but the dreadful disease which weekly adds its hundreds to the bills of mortAlity. Several engineers in the service of Sir M. P e t o arrived by the last packet, arid the surveys of the line to Oporto are now going on The Peninsular picket Tagus arrived on the 22d inst., but as usual had no communication with the city ; she merely received th mails made up the same d e ein two tarred boxt , s, for fear of inf ec ti on , an d l e f t y for the south.

(Applause) I feel that upon this occa sion it would ill become us in our capacity as philanthropists not to remember—and that most warmly—their heroic deeds, their great sufferings, their deep privation, and sufferings. And if our ears have been permitted to be gladdened with the news of their victory in causing the fall of that once famed city of Delhi, that knowledge has also brought to us the death of hundreds of our fellow-creatures, and therefore that rejoicing is not an unmixed emo tion. We cannot but mourn those who have fallen, and we must sympathise with those who have sus tained a loss in this country. (Applause.) But the army and navy are an important instrument, by which the authority or executive of this country is to be rnaintained-.-by w hi c h our constitution is to be upheld. (Cheers.) They are a power which I believe never excet ds its duty, but always bows in ready submission to the authority which gives its orders. (Cheers.) And we, as Englishmen, do rightly in remembering them in . this our social meeting, and you will agree with me, I am sure, that the sooner they can terminate their labours in the East and bring peace, not only to this country, but also to other nations —the s ooner peace can reign throughout the world the more we and our succes sors shall be delighted. (Loud cheers.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in reply to the toast of "The Borough Members," said, ever since be had been member for the borough of Reading he had always esteemed it to be the proudest position, not only that he ever had, but that be could hope to at tain. Since last he had the honour of acknow ledging a similar kindness a change had taken place. It had pleased her Majesty to appoint him her Soli citor-General, and, greatly as he esteemed that honour (and he trusted he estimated it at its worth), he assured them that he considered that, or any honour to which he could attain, as second to the honour of representing that borough in Parliament. He had not forgotten the kindness which his hon. colleague (Mr. Pigott) and himself experienced at the hands of the const tuency of Reading when they were returned at the general election without oppo sition ; and when, upon her Majesty appointing him Solicitor-General —thereby vacating his seat and bringing him back to his constituents to ask them for a renewal of their confidante—he could not for get the kindness with which he was received and the manner in which he was met by persons of all poli tics in th e b orough. He was conscious that he could not during hi s P arliamentary career have done any thing to d eserve that confidence. All that he could . pretend htote was a sinCsre wi s h t o di scharge the duty Which he had t aken upon himself. He had not re presented borough of Reading so long as his hon. friend Mr. Pigott, yet he had represented ii some years ; and every year he held that distinguished position had i !aoreased the marks o f favour which• MR.

Mr. H. Drummond, M.P., spoke as follows ; Mr. Chairman, I think you place us unfortunate county members in rather an awkward position (a laugh). You apk.us to come to—what I—to the PUBLIC DINNER IN RONOUR Off LORD BROUGHAM: For many years past Lord Brougham has been in ;he habit of spending the autumn months during the recess of Parliament at his seat in Westmoreland, Brougham-hall, which is distant from Penrith about a mile. In September, 1849, his lordship presided at the dinner of the Westmoreland and Cumberland Agricultural Society at Penrith, and afterwards, in the same autumn, at the dinner of the Agricultural Society at Carlisle. This was the last public appearance of his lordship in the county of Cumberland. Some time ago the magistracy and g-ntlernen of the two counties made arrange ments to eniertain his lordship at a public dinner, which great local event came off at Penrith on Wednesday last. The dinner was not got up for party or political purposes, but amply to do 1 honour to the venerable and illustrious law re former and statesman in the neighbourhood of his ancestral hall. The domer w.is served in the George Assembly Room, a place far too small to accommodate the numbers who would have been glad to be present en the rccasion. In the absence of the Earl of Lensdale, the chair was occupied by E. W. Hasell, Esq , chairman of the Quarter Sessions for the counties of Westmoreland and Cumberland. The vice-cha'r was filled by Henry Howard, Esq., of Greystoke Castle. Among the gentlemen present were Charles Howard, Esq., M.P., W. N. Hodg son, Esq., M. P., John Steel, Esq., M.P. Sir J. H. Maxwell, Wm. Wakefield, Esq., John Crosby, Esq., and Wm. Crackanthoipe, Esq., strenuous supporters of Lord Brougham during the West moreland elections. On the removal of the cloth, the Chairman gave the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. The CHAIRMAN then rose, amidst tremendous applause, to propose the toast of the day. Nothing, he said, could have been more gratifying to Lord Brougham's neighbours, or to the gentry of the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland then his lordship's presence at that meeting. (Applause.) Men of all parties had assembled to gether to sink all party differences, all party dis .--4----- 4- , ,eynress their high regard and respect for a most oistinguisueu statesman, wily eboon luau,. amongst the most eminent statesmen of this coun- Itry, and could compete with the statesmen of any other country. (Hear, hear.) He was a statesman of world-wide reputation. They had heard of him being called in to the councils of the great men in Paris. His conduct and his talents had acquired for him an influence over other countries as well as his own. (Bear, hear.) In all the toasts proposed, mention had been made of the surprising talents of Lord Brougham, and there must be some foundation for those remarks. It was all very well to say that a man was clever, but a great deal depended upon the manner in which he be stowed his talents. The learned lord had talents inferior to no man in the kingdom, or in any othe r country ; and h e h a il bestowed his talents in a manner in which few men had done, and on that account he stood pre-eminent. (Great applause.) There were some particular ques tions which were greatly agitating the minds of the people. He (the chairman) saw around him friends on both sides of the question. He would merely say, that in a free country like this, utile-s theyha I a powerful opposition theywonld boon have ab id administraton. If they had a powerful and efficient administration they must also have a for midable opposition. The chairman next referred to several queitioos which had been decided, some of i hem contrary to his own judgment, though they might now be considered as settled. In the early part of the noble lord's career he became all-power ful in the House of Commons on the question of the abolition of negro slavery. Lord Brougham and his collo igues in that mater were influenced by the noblest principles, and there was no matter that had ever engaged his lordship's attention that could now give him greeter satisfaction. The chairman next referred to his lordship's exertions to procure the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. Many noble charities would also have been lost but for the comm scion which was appointed to inquire into the same through the persevering energy of his lordship. To show that Lard Brougham's reputation rested on n o slippery or sandy foundation, he (the chairman) would refer them to his efforts in behalf of education. Nothing could be more subversive of the interests of society than gross ignorance. In the calendars at the assizes it was a fact that the majority of criminals were entered as not being , able to read or write. No question of greater im portance could possibly occupy the mind of any statesman titan that of education. The chairman next referred to his lordship's efforts in the cause. of law reform, particularising the acts which had been most generally beneficial, and concluded by referring to the act by which •the law relating to marriages, which were often attended by great un happiness, had been amended. The chairman then proposed the health of the noble lord, which was drunk with thrice three Cumbrian cheers, and the band played " The Fine Old English Gentleman." Lord BROUGHAM rose amidst applause of such a deafening character that it was some time before lie could proceed to address the meeting. Silence being restored, his lordship begged to tender his most hearty thanks for the very great—he might almost say the unexampled—kindness which the two counties had been pleased to bestow upon him. A meeting of this sort, without distinction of sect or party, mot together for one object, namely, to testify their sense of the very imperfect services which he had been enabled to render for the good of society, and the general interests of his fellow countrymen, such a gathering on such an occasion was far more important on account of its object, however gratifying it might be to himself. (Ap plause.) He would, however, own that what had been so kin ily said by almost all those who had ad dressed the meeting had brought with it some humiliation, for he could not but think how far beyond any deserts of his were the tributes which they had paid. (No, no.) What was infinitely more important than any personal considera'ion— he meant the progress which they weie making and in which those two counties had exhibited a forward part —the progress they were maki n ,, i n social improvement. His friend, the chairman had referred, and most justly, to certain measures which had originated with the magistrates of the two counties. He was only the be firer of their Qu tions to parliament, upon which were founded mea sures of great importance, and with which was also coupled the name of his learned friend Mr. Faw cett. The chairman had also re fer riage qu es ti on ; hoped as that w as , lik e important in itself, th a t a b many ett better t o n t a ti r e r r i a eie measures,la he w only would be given re t cl o t o o t h t e h r e p m a a r t r s of the United Kingdunt - However, it was a ll very well ; the old proverlowas, " When you cann t have. get What you like, endeavour to like what you " His-lorship next referred to the queEti al of education, that great lever of all social progress —of all soc i a l economy.
