Physicalsofty, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic hahappiness a.d social content. The dowr y should not be the only marriage tlement.

Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by u qualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two o eac the h, little publications claim your at tention (same price Is. r by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, m and Avoid," and " How to b e Happy." They are not pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the in xlins he would Mettle-Jo—A do unto others as he would he done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the " s unny side of :he way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, '23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 4h7, West Strand ; Barnes, 420, OxiOrd-street ; or direct (by post or otherwise ) from the author (who may be con ferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 19, Argyll-plaCe, Relleatitreet ; and all Bealr.aillere.

In his confession, Platte implicated Lant, but his name was suppressed in the published confes sion. It will be recollected that one witness (Slack) .aw a man as if in a drunken state pushed by two others into Platt's shop, and that he remarked to a woman standing near, whom he did not know, that the drunken man would have a "cold night's lo(iginr,." This woman turns out to be Mrs. Redfearn, who, since Platts was hanged, has told all she saw an - knows; and Laut was taken into custody, in bed, on Tuesday last. His examination took place on Wednesday, and he has been committed to take his trial. It is stated there is new and important evidence, and that circumstances will transpire conclusive of the opinion expressed, that Platt's confession was incorrect.

In addition to the reply of the King of Prussia to the Diet on certain political questions, his Majesty has issued the following relative to the question of loans:— " We, Frederick William, by the grace of God, King of Prussia, to our faithful States united for the first time in general assembly, greeting. We have learned by our Commissioner in the Diet the doubt which arose during the discussion of the different projects which have been presented to the States on the letters patent of the 3d of February last, and on the interpretation of paragraphs 4 and 6 of the standing orders of the States. To re move these doubts, we, after communicating with our Commissioner in the Diet, give to our faithful States the following explanations:-1. It never entered our mind not to comprise in the loans foreseen by paragraph four of the standing orders of the States loans which can only be ordered with the concurrence and co-guarantee of the States-General, and for which the public fortune and the domains of the State are given in guarantee, as is textually prescribed by Art. 3 of thelaw,ofJanuary 17, 1820 ; it never entered our mind not to comprise in these loans the loans for which the guarantee of a part of the public fortune and of the revenues of_. the State shall necessary. Moro than that, our will it, that in time of peace the acceptation of public loans, and the drawing up of the financial documents relative to such loans, cannot take place, any more than the aug mentation of the treasury bonds in emission, without the approbation of the Assembly of the States. This power of the Diet can, however, only be applied to what concerns the current debts of he Administration, since _hey are essentially temporary, being only contracted by anticipation on the revenues of the State, which must cover them, and do not constitute any new charge for the country. For these debts of the Administration the concurrence of the States will not be necessary for the future, any more than it has been in the past. 2d, In the cases foreseen by Art. 6 of the standing order of the Diet, in which political events shall not permit the convocation of the General Assembly of the States for the ratification of loans, and in which that mission is placed on the deputation of the States charged with the public debt, it is perfectly understood that our intention has never been to add the right of approving the loans of the state to the rights of the deputation. Neverthe less. to remove all kinds of doubt as to our intentions in this respect, we hesitate not to declare formally to our faithful States that the deputation of the States for the public debt is not destined to replace them in their legal attributions, and that it will consequently not have to consent to any modification in the loans of the state." A letter from Berlin of th 25th says " The replies of the King have thrown the greater part of the members of the Diet into a state of great un certainty. In the evening of yesterday 150 members, some of whom belonged to the Order of the Nobles, and the greater number of the province of the Rhine, met at a public hotel to deliberate on the conduct that should be observed. Several deputies had considered the mat ter so grave as not to accept the royal invitation to the New Palace at Potsdam. At midnight several Rhenish deputies, and among them M. de Bekkerath, joined their colleagues. The assembly continued in delibera tion two hours. Several deputies insisted, that to nominate committees to act when the Diet is not sitting would give the right to the King to unite the Diet only when he should think fit, and would be an aban donment of the right of an annual meeting, accorded by the late King. Other deputies recommended that the committees should be nominated from among the deputies most determined to maintain the rights of the Diet, hut in again protesting to the same effects as in the protests already made. There is to be a meeting of the three orders this evening to terminate the discussion of the Bill relative to the Jews, and to morrow the general assembling for closing the Diet will be held. The King has notified that he cannot be pre sent at it, and that he will be replaced by the Royal Com missioner." We learn by a letter from Berlin, of the 26th, that the Diet was closed on that day. The King's Commissioner ascended the tribune and read the Royal rescript, which was in the following terms : " We, Frederick William, by the grace of God, King of Prussia, &c., to our faithful States, assembled in the first ~)iet of the United States, send our mkwi t ser fte * * i nc l u dinst the election of the Conimittets and thXdepu tation of the States OR the public debt, woo d be con cluded by the 25th of this month, we have fixed the 26th for the closing of the first United Diet; and, as we shall not on that day be at our residence in Berlin, we have charged our Commissioner of the Diet to close the session of the States. Given at Berlin, this 24th June, 1847." The Royal Commissioner then, being surrounded by all the Ministers, read the following address : " Most Serene Highnesses, Serene Princes, Illustrious Counts, Noble Lords ! Most Ho nourable Deputies of the Nobles, the Cities, and Rural Communes I—The hour is come when, according to the orders of his Majesty the King, our most gracious lord, the first session of the United Diet is to be closed. This hour is dimmed by the fact of a small number of the mem bers of the Assembly having refused their assent to the last act of its labours, and having seceded from a duty the fulfilment of which is essentially con nected with the exercise of representative rights. The Government will know how to maintain the respect due to the laws. If we look back upon the eleven weeks which have been employed in the representative duties of this high assembly, sentiments of different natures will arise in our minds. Who cannot feel this, but who can find words to express his -feelings? There is, however, one sentiment which must be common to all—the con viction that the results of the General Diet have afforded to the country less good fruit than they might have pro duced. But we confide in the omnipotence of Divine Providence, whose protection has never been withdrawn from our beloved country in critical times, and we hope that the good and noble seed which has just been sown has fallen upon a fertile soil, and will spring up and in crease to a tree covered with generous fruits, and under the shadow of which no ill weeds may grow. But a feeling of pride and joy certainly reigns in the hearts of all—viz., the conviction that all the States here assembled, that all the provinces are united most intimately by their warm love for their country, for the noble King whom Providence has allotted to us, and for his august house. This sentiment has been joyfully and loudly proclaimed by all. However di vergent may be the paths which have sometimes been pointed out, sometimes followed, we feel confident that all those who, animated with this feeling, have pursued them, will arrive at the same termination, the consolida tion of the honour, the independence, the material and moral welfare of the country—the glory of Prussia under an inviolable crown, placed on the heads of its kings of the noble house of Hohenzollern, and sustained and fortified by the States. Expressing this hope, and trusting that it will accompany you to your homes, and induce you to continue your labours with all your efforts towards this noble object., I declare, by order of the King, that the first United Diet is closed." A letter from Berlin, of the 26th, in the Gazette des Tribunaux, says—" The King is opposed to allowing the proceedings of the trial relative to the Polish dis turbances to be made public. His Majesty convoked a Cabinet Council, and declared his views. There arose on this subject a long, and, it is said, stormy discussion. The result was not known, but it is positively stated that the proceedings which were to commence on July 1 have been postponed to August 1. The tribunal of Premiere Instance of Berlin has terminated the affair of the dis turbances which took place in that city towards the end of April in consequence of the dearness of provisions. There were 107 prisoners, 90 men and 17 women. The Court acquitted 8, ignored the bills sent in against 13, and condemned 86 to imprisonment of various lengths. For all those condemned, women inclusive, the punish ment of whipping was added." ACCIDENT AT THE BLACLWALL RAILWAY TER• MlNlM—Thursday, about noon, a fatal accident occurred at the goods depot of the Blsckwall Railway terminus, Crutched Friars. It appears that a man named Peter Summerfield, whilst engaged in lifting the cradle, a piece of machinery used for raising heavy weights, dropped a shilling, which fell below the spot where the cradle de scends. The unfortunate man went below, leaving another party to do his work, and whilst searching for his shilling the cradle was lowered, and before he had time to get out of the way, he was crushed with such violence as to break his legs and back, and otherwise dreadfully injure him. Three medical men were sent for, but by the time they arrived life was quite extent. The deceased has left a wife and three children totally unprovided for. CAUTION TO FAMILIES HAVING RELATIONS ABROAD.—A man, apparently 60 years of age, has for the last few days been defrauding several respectable families in the neighbourhood of Poplar, by calling with packages neatly made up, and directed, and repr esen t ing ing them to come from their relatives abroad, t h ere cy obtaining 4s. and ss. from each place for carartivarge,with The person in question is of the midfdlet fustian coat, waistcoat and trowsers, k de e s c s in the left walks rather eye—grey hair, eye brows, and whis er lame. The addresses on the packages are well written, and are evidently the productions of a person well versed in penmanship. How he has managed to s discover tho parties from whom the parcels.arestated to come is a mystery to those he has already im p osed upon, and it is hoped this description of his person will speedily put an end to the s ystem he has adopted to raise the wind. The various packages contain nothing but rubbish, such as saw-dust, cinders, &c. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Between one and two on Th u rsday, as a poor man, employed from m o ti ves of c harity by Mr. Hayes, dairyman, Horseferry-road, Westminster, was riding on the shaft of one of his master's wash•carts, in the Victoria-road, he fell off, and one of the wheels passed over his head. He died almost immediately. Ist Charge. That the said John Wilmot Young, acting master of the Lily, and serving on board her at the island of Ascension on the 21st April, 1847, was on the evening of that day in a state of drunkenness. • 2d Charge. That Le, the said John Wilmot Young, did on the 21st of April b,have towards his commander, the said Charles J. F. Newton, with great disrespect. 3d Charge. That he, the said John Wilmot Young, being in charge of the watch on board the Lily at sea on the Ist of June, 1847, did sleep on his watch. The court was most numerously attended, there being no less than nine members—viz., Rear-Admiral Super-intendent Hyde Parker, C. 8., president ; Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. ; Captain Pasco, of the Victory ; Captain Sir James Stirling, of the Howe, 120 ; Captain H. D. Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent ; Captain Lushington, of the Vengeance ; Captain Miller, of the Vincent ; Captain Hon. J. Pelham, of the Odin, steam-frigate ; and Captain Dacres, of the Avenger, steam-frigate. Mr. Greatham, Judge Advocate, and Mr. Hoskins, solicitor, assisted the prisoner. Commander Newton, the prosecutor, was first sworn, and gave evidence, of which we give a brief extract. It appeared that the Lily arrived at Ascension on the evening of the 21st of' April last, and Commander New ton was collecting the quarterly returns of the Lily, to take to the senior officer, at the island, and at half-past nine at night sent for Mr. Young, the master, to get the quarterly track chart, which should have been made up to the 31st of March, and although Mr. Young had pre viously informed Commander Newton that the chart was finished, it was found not to be so, and the com mander told Mr. Yonng he would report the circum stance to the senior officer in command, to which Mr. Young replied he might do so, and take his (Mr. Young's) commission with him, Mr. Young leaving the cabin at the same time and slamming the door. The commander went on deck with the first lieutenant, Mr. Williams, and some further altercation taking place, Commander Newton sent Mr. Young below under arrest. The commander's evidence went to prove that on this occasion Mr. Young was both drunk and disrespectful. On the third charge, the Commander gave evidence of his having come up on deck at half-past eleven, on the first watch, on the Ist of June last, the Lily being at sea, on her way home, under all plain sail to royals ; and with the foretopmast studdingsail set, the vessel going at the rate of nine knots through the water, when he found Mr. Young (then officer of the watch) fast asleep on the after grating, rolled up in a blanket. Mr. George B. Williams, the senior lieutenant, corro borated, in every particular, Commander Newton's evidence, both as to Mr. Young's being drunk and dis respectful on the 21st of April, and also to Mr Young's being found asleep in his watch on the Ist of June. Mr. Telliss, the clerk of the ship, was present on the 21st of April, when the occurrence took place. To the best of his judgment, Mr. Young was sober at the time, and that he was disrespectful to Commander Hawkins, but not highly so. Mr. Devonshire, gunner of the Lily, proved that Mr. Young was disrespectful to his commander, but said he was sober at the time. He also proved to having roused up Mr. Young when asleep on the after grating in his first watch, on the Ist of June. With this closed the evidence for the prosecution, and Mr. Young, having asked an hour to prepare his de fence, at the expiration of that time the Court was re opened, and Mr. Hoskins read a short defence, stating that the harsh treatment Mr. Young had received at the hands of his commander had occasioned his replies, which were called disrespectful. He admitted sleeping on his watch, but pleaded excessive fatigue and illness, from arduous duties, that occasioned it. He called several witnesses as to character, who spoke in his favour ; among them Captain Brisbane, of the Larne, and Commander Morrell, late Governor of Ascension ; he also read the certificates he had received from offi cers under whom he had served jhe also called seve ral persons, amongst whom werfM•ieutenotrt —Branch, the sun-room steward, and several other & w gave eNin ce that Mr,yoignmis folsei tfa olf kie t Ist 4pril. fa. th twovo'clock the eaNee e - prisoner cl d, a the court was clearea!* After an hour's deliberation it was re-opened, and the Judge Advocate read the sentence : uung, of Ti•••, • - •• • to cwarge of diutikrs.

COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT BRANCH. At three P.M., the same members assembled to try the second lieutenant of the Lily, Mr. John S. Branch, on charges preferred against him by Commander Newton. First charge—For highly disrespectful and insubordi nate conduct, while serving on board the Lily, between October, 1845, and May, 1846, on several occasions. Second charge—For highly disrespectful conduct to his commander on the 1 7 th of June, 1846. The Court had examined Captain Brisbane, and the first lieutenant of the Lily, on the first of these charges, when our report was sent off. WOOLWICH, JULY I.—The Rifleman, wooden steam vessel, and Sharpshooter, iron steam-vessel, both fitted with screw propellers, left Woolwich this morning for Portsmouth, to be fitted at that port for service on the coast of Africa. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, is now ready for sea, and will proceed to Portsmouth to farm one of the vessels of the experimental squadron, which is to assemble at Spithead about the 10th of the present month, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. It is highly to the credit of the officers of the Dragon to be able to state that not one of her numerous crew has been lost or absent without leave since she was commissioned. The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Ryder, is pre paring for sea with the greatest dispatch, and is to be attached to the experimental squadron. Each ship of war is to have a steam-vessel as a tender during the ex periments. LIFE PRESERVERS.—Numerous inventors have re cently submitted their views of what they consider the simplest and most efficient modes of saving lives, in cases of shipwreck. Amongst others, Lieutenant Irvine, R.N., attended yesterday afternoon at Woolwich Dock yard. and submitted to Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H. ; Captain Sir John Ross, C.B. ; Lieut. -Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Director of the Foundry Department at the Royal Arsenal; Lieutenant Colonel Cator, of the Royal Artillery ; Lieutenant Fowler, and several officers of the Royal Marines, his travelling trunks and leather bags, made on his principle, and lined with cork and Mackintosh cloth in such a manner as to preserve their contents dry, and at the same time become an important auxiliary in saving lives when ship wrecks take place. A trunk 27 inches long by 15 inches broad and 15 inches deep, had its loose mackintosh lining tied so as to exclude water, and on being thrown into the basin, was found to sustain 751bs. weight of solid iron, sufficient to sustain the weight of sixteen men immersed in water, and to be capable of conveying them through any surf to the shore. The leather bag was also tied in the same way inside, and possessed a buoyancy which would be of great advantage to travellers by water in case of accidents. The articles are the same in appear ance as those necessary appendages to every traveller, and the fitting of common trunks and bags on Lieu. tenant Irvine's plan would enable all who undertake voyages by rivers or by sea to travel with little risk of danger from accidents by water. TREASURE FOUND IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL The workmen in the storekeeper's department of the Royal Arsenal, while engaged in moving some boxes which have remained in the stores since they were sent home after the battle of Waterloo, found one of them weightier than they could account for in a box of its size. On opening it there appeared four smaller boxes: and on their lids being removed they were found tocoonnt tain a number of doubloons of gold , eq uivalent in a mount to 8001. in each box, making in all 3,2001. ---------, D ESTRUC TIVE FIRE IN L AMBETH. —Yesterday ,itni the fire, broke attended out upon% -it with f between the hours of one and two a considerable destruction of property, i nPsrce d i sbe:bat street, Lambeth. - t . o o i s r t ab 1 e 84 L was going his manufacturers, situ tmheesesarst.evirnsi.vaeodraßm ofw was ynsuetnets others t the o ate in Ilatfield-street, Stamford -directed to r ap pearsotiud s t , h h a i t s awthteinlstti oPn°wlisese _ the premises by per ceiving a dense body of . smoke and sparks hovering over the top of the houses in the . street.

Fortunately an immediate, and at the same time an abundant, supply of water was furnished by the mains of the Lambeth Company, which was scattered over the burning premises, in spite of which the flames continued to travel with rapidity, and it was not until half past two o'clock that the firemen could get the mastery over the destructive element, and not before the property, valued at several hundred pounds, was reduced to ashes. The escape belonginging to the Royal Society for the .n Protection of Life from Fire was quickly on the case its services were required, and the police, under In spector Rogers, rendered great assistance to the fire men, by keeping the immense crow the eminent chemist, formerly of CONVICTS.—The Queen has granted a free pardoi. to Charles Butler, Cheapside, Edinburgh, and Dublin, who wac oonvicted on 29th September last. SIR HARRY SMITH'S PROGRESS. On Wednesday the hero of Aliwal, Sir H. Smith, and his lady, partook of a public breakfast at Ely, on his way to Whittlesea. A beautiful arch, covered with a profusion of flowers and laurels, was erected near the station, where about 8,000 or 10,000 persons had as• sembled, and the gallant gentleman's appearance was greeted with tremendous cheers. The procession moved from the station through the principal streets of the town to the new Corn Exchange, in which a splendid dejetiner a la fourchette was supplied by Younghusband and Son, of Gerard's Hall Hotel, Basing-lane, London, The building itself was beautifully fest oone d w i th ever greens and flowers ; the tables, which extended round the area, were covered with choice plants. On the table at which the Gallant General sat was a service of gold plate, valued at 16,0001. The breakfast provided con sisted of every delicacy the season could produce, the fruit being the admiration of all present. The appear ance of the whole called forth an expression of thanks from Sir Harry Smith. From the station to the breakfast-room Sir Harry was accompanied by the Dean of Ety, Professor Sedgwick, the Rev. E. B. Sparke, son of the late B. shop Sparke, and William Layton, Esq., the eminent agriculturist. The Dean of Ely presided at the breakfast, at which there were between 200 and 300 present, consisting of the elite of the town and neighbourhood. WHITTLESEA.—On arriving at this town the illus trious guests were received by a concourse of 4,000 to 5,000 people, and by them escorted to the house of his brother, Captain Smith. The bells rang merrily, atsd the greatest hilarity pervaded the town. Mr. Booker read a complimentary address to the gallant hero, and received a short but suitable reply, Sir Harry Smith sa)ing that on the morrow he should have an oppor tunity of expressing at greater length his feelings of appreciation of the kindness of his fellow -townsmen. THURSDAY, JULY 1. THE DINNER was holden in a pavilion, erected for the purpose, in a close next the rectory. At a quarter before five the chair was taken by the Rev. Algernon Peyton, rector of Duddington, who was supported on the right by the hero of many fights, Sir Barry Smith, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl of Aboyne, Lord Milton, J. W. Childers, Esq., Professor Seogwick, Colonel Allix, J. D. Gordon. Esq., and the Dean of Ely ; and on the left by the High Sheriff (W. Pate, Esq.), the Earl of liardwicke Lord C. Russell, M.P., K. G. Townley, Esq., Admiral Morris, &c. In the centre was placed a very handsome epergne, a testim..nial to Sir Harry Smith, purchased by subscrip tion. It bore the following inscriptlon:—" Presented to Major-General Sir H. C. W. Smith, Bart., of Aliwal on. the Sutlej, G.C.8., Colonel of the Rifle Brigade, by parties resident, or interested in the Isle of Ely, in testi mony of their esteem for the eminent services rendered by him as an officer in the British army during a period of 42 years, and more particularly for the distinguished ability shown by him in gaining a decisive victory over the Seikhs in India, when in command of the British forces at the battle of Aliwal, on the 28th of January, 1846. Presented the Ist of July, 1847." Sir Harry was dressed in a general's uniform, wear ing the order of the Bath, and several medals. At the conclusion of the dinner, Lady Smith and a party of ladies entered the booth; and her Ladyship was re ceived with loud cheers, the company standing. Nearly three hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner, which, ex . cept a plentiful supply of soup, fish, and vegetables, was served cold. Grace having been said, The Rev. CHAIRMAN proposed, in succession, the Queen, Price Albert, the Queen Dowager, and health, wealth, and prosperity to all the Royal Family; the Duke of Wellington and the Army, acknowledged by Lord C. J. Russell; the Navy, acknowledged by Ad miral Morris. The CHAIRMAN next, in eloquent terms, proposed the G ik a i l t l i a g n s, t n G o e s t ) i n e e rai day, mo b b re , , t w ha o t u t ld ha h t, a a ve rd aff s o h r o d u e l d d the e health of Sir H arr y S m i t h . A mong all the recentn, livea pleasure v tell them so, he (the Chairman) should not doubt his integrity. He must naturally feel proud of his return to his home, and native soil, from whence he bad set out on his travels, amid the approbation of his countrymen, and in receipt of their grateful thanks. He would, if the ladies would allow him to alter a passage of Shakspere devoted exclusively to them, say with Othello—" We., as countrymen and compatriots, do love our General, and he loves us." He had no doubt the Gallant General felt grateful for the trophies and attachment they had that day displayed in his honour. So long as any Englishman's heart beat convulsively, nothing could be more endearing to him than the return to his home after a prolonged absence. As Sterne remarks in his beau tiful story of the sword—" It seemed as the return to an old friend's face, which once was given up." But his (the chairman's) pilgrim's shrine was won, his task was ended, and the company before the evening was over would doubtless be quite tired of him. (No, no.) They were anxious also to hear the Gallant General himself. The Chairman then (turning to Sir Harry , Smith) said, "I understand, Sir, that you are again about to seek foreign shores, and whether or not you meet with opportunities of performing similar achieve- Vents to that which we are now met to celebrate, I, in e name of this meeting, ven t ure t o trust that your ' ablenee will not be long, and that you will soon return to your native shores, and escs ‘2,....A:,- , - -...,0 ut tne kfattkUe of Englishmen, that on your 6eturn from abroad you will live in health o feel that it was given in gratitude.. your compatriots and those who know so ' well how to appreciate your services, your public efforts in the cause of your country, and your private friend ship—l drink your health."—(Loud, long, and most vociferous cheering.) On its somewhat subsiding, Sir HARRY SMITH rose and spoke as follows: — "Lives there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said This is my own, my native land."—(Cheers.) Rev. Sir, my lords and gentlemen, and fellow-towsmen —fain would I thank you for the honour you have this day done me by thus assembling, and by the sumptuous banquet you have set before me ; but when the heart is full the tongue refuses to obey.—(Cheers.) It is true, as your president has said, that it is 42 years since I left my native land. On that occasion I parted with an affectionate mother—(Cheers)—and, gentlemen, by a curious coincidence, this day is the commemoration of her birth day.—(Cheers.) ller last words to me were, " Remember, I pray you, never to enter a public billiard room to play, and if ever you should be engaged with the enemies of your country, remember you are an Englishman."—(Loud cheers.) Thirty-two years ago, at the battle of Waterloo, there were three brothers, and it has pleased Providence to protect them all, although they were in the heat of the battle. We three, gentl e . men, are the only instances on record in this country, and we three are here to-day to feel and thank you for the honour done to myself and family.—(Loud cheers.) How I fulfilled the first pledge I gave my mother I well know—l have never played in a public billiard room, and what is more, I never was drunk in my life.—(Loud cheers.) How I have obeyed her se cond injunction, my Sovereign, the Duke of Wel lington' and you, my fellow - countrymen, have been pleased to bear testimony, and it becomes me to ac knowledge the reception I have received. If lam about to remind you of my , services, I believe that they arose from my being placed in positions that would have been equally well filled by others.—(No, no.) Believe me, fellow-countrymen, it is to my fellow-soldiers I am in debted for the honours I have received. I never appealed to my brother soldiers that they did not respond to my call.—(Cheers.) I hope war is far, far distant, for although a glorious it is a horrid profession. Since the wonderful battle of Waterloo, which established a peace for this nation which has lasted 32 years, and on my return to this country, I have observed her marked improvement in the arts and sciences, the improvement in the morality and deportment of the lower classes, and the observance of the Sabbath, which latter, I regret to say, was not thought of when I lett it. To this I attribute all the good success of our civil exertions. I accept with gra titude the service of plate you offer me. I trust that feeling will be perpetuated in the memory of my family, and that they will never disgrace that relic of my sword. —(Cheers.) I have no sons, but have two not, I would nephews, whom I have seen in action, and who are now _in this room ; they merit the coat they wear—(the uniform of Sir Harry's regiment),—and if they did )A. word of be the first to strip them of it. —(Cheers.

"If • ) our Majesty is afraid to arm your subjects, your crown will totter to its base;" and in this country, so long as the nobles are true to the throne and the people to the nobles, so long shall England stand, as now she stands, paramount and unparalleled among the nations.— (Cheers.) My heart is too full to allow me to dwell any longer on the subject, but believe me I shall ever, amid all vicissitudes, entertain a grateful remembrance of this mark of the respect and the attachment of the inhabi t tants of my native isle. Many of my playmates, school ' mates, and fellow-townsmen are around me, and I trust that, with the other honourable gentlemen present, they will accept the grateful thanks of their townsman and countryman Harry Smith.—(The G a llant General sat down amidst reiterated cheers.)
