It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of perm:will man , gement which cannot he violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret site cced the heyday of incomsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the. sting of their bitterness may Ito removed, and how the. evil and its consequences may b, t r:oided, and, above that there is scarcely any degree of ph) fee d hint inity or Mai:Liana' derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

BANQUET AT SOUTHAMPTON TO LORD CHIEF JUSTICE COCKBURN. The building known in Southampton asthe Audit all was on Saturday evening the scene of a banquet of a novel and interesting character. The public need hardly be reminded that for 10 years the present Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was • the repre sentative in Patliament of the borough of South ampton, but perhaps it is not so generally recol lected that some 16 years since' he also filled the important judicial office of its Recorder. The Cham ber of Commerce of that town, anxious that thii double connexion should not pass away without some solemn and ceremonial kind word at parting, determined on inviting his lord-hip to a public din- 1 ' ner ; and so popular was the suggestion that the list was speedily fil'ed up with the names of men of all parties in politics. As a general rule the judges do not dine in public except at the Mansion-House, but-in ibis case the strict judicial etiquette was de parted from, as not only did the Lord Chief Jus tice accept the invitation of his old constituents, but he was accompanied by Mr. Justice Williams and Mr: Baron Bramwell, who both bore testimony to the fact that the popularity which had marked his lordship's forensic and Parliamentary career had not deserted him since his elevation to the bench. The dinner was got up by a committee of the Chem bar of Commerce, the respected president of which, Mr. J. R. Stebbing, was the chairman of the even ing. Amongst the company were men of all parties in the borough, and there were many present who, having strenuously opposed the noble and learned lord 'at his succe 'sive elections, now eagerly slaw ch ed at the opportunity of showing, by the fervour of their demonstrations, that, while they bad differed from him as a politician, they had never ceased to esteem him as a man. There were present the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Jus tice Williams, Mr. Baron Bramwell, the members for the borough, Messrs. Wilcox and Weguelin, the county members, Sir J. C. Jervoise, Hon. Mr. Dutton, Capt.. Mangles, M.P., the High Sheriff of the county, Messrs. Lankester, Coop,r, Croskey, and nearly all the members of the Chamber of Commerce of Southampton, and a large number of the most respectable and influential inhabitants of the town. Covers were laid for eighty. On the removal of the cloth the Chairman gave " The Queen;" to whom he said a recent interest, ing event save an addition claim on the affections of her 'subject?. After " Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," came ." Her Majesty's Ministers," which toast gave the chairman the opportunity of passing a warm euloginm on Lord Palmerston, from whom he said he differed in politics, but to whom he still gave the credit of having rescued the country when in her deepest distress. Under the most adverse circumstaires his lordship had " Held his country's honour fast, And nailed his colours to the mast." The CHAIRMAN then said—l have now the grati fication of calling your a,ttention to the toast of the evening, the heklth of the distinguished man in win'se honour we have collected this remarkable and most agreeable public meeting. (Cheers.) Gentle men; it must be a matter of great pride and plea sure to a great commercial community like this to be thus enabled, uninfluenced by any unworthy motives, and avoiding all political or polemical discussion, to do honour to a member who has served them well, and who has always shown a jea lous care of their commercial and municipal inte rests. One of the strongest reasons, one of the greatest inducements why this meeting should take place, was the desire that one of the most dis tinguished men of the pre-ent . day, one who could vie in eloquence with the greatest motors this coun try has ever produced, one - who has retired to the position of one of the Chief Justices of England, night not be said, politically speaking, to "die and make no sign." (Loud Cheers.) As c mmer cial men, you remember the bench's , he has con ferred upon this great commercial town, and you would not wish, I am sure, that he should pass into comparative solitude without receiving some proof that whatever might be your political differences, they had not destroyed your sentiments of poitical or personal gratitude. (Cheers.) I am rejoiced, and I am sure you are rejoiced also, that, setting aside some difficulties which might have interposed to prevent the appearance of a judge at a public meeting, his lordship has thought fit to be here to day, and that while politics are rigorously excluded from our meeting, he can receive from us those warm and sincere expressions of gratitude which commercial men are always ready to offer to representatives who have served them well. (Loud cheers.) But neither, gentlemen, must we forget that our distinguished guest has served us in an other capacity. Long before his lordship accepted the distinguished office 'which he now fills, he com menced his judicial career as Recorder of South ampton, and he will not, I am sure, even now be displeased to bear that while filling that compara tively insignificant office, not one of his decisions was ever called in question. (Loud cheers.) I mention this because I thought it would be grat fying to his lordship to have it recorded that his conduct as Recorder of Southampton bad been as free from taint as I believe will be his career as one of ,the Chief Justices of England. (Great cheers.) Since then, his brilliant career in the House of Commons is matter of history, but to that, as politics are excluded, I shall not more particularly allude. As a chamber 'of commerce simply we re ceive our distinguished guest, and to the members of that chamber I propose that we think his good health with every mark of fervour and approbation. (Great cheering..) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then rose, and was re ceived with loud and long-continued cheering. He said—Mr. President and Gentlemen,—l am at a loss, I assure. you, for words to express the emo tions I ieel at this moment. To receive this com pliment from the Chamber of Commerce of South ampton, a body so 'eminently qualified to represent the wealth, the intelligence, and the respectability of this great community, to be by them thus re ceived, thus entertained, and thus welcomed, in common with my honourable colleagues, is indeed an honour and a happiness which ,it is difficult to find words properly to acknowledge. (Hear, hear.) And it is the more grateful to .me to be thus re ceived by you, because I see in this assemblage many gentlemen whose politics I know to differ front my own, whose support I could never have askr-d for, nor they have given, during the time I was candidate for *eat in Parliament. To sea these men united with the old and kind friends who have always supported me, is an indication that, although I had not the happiness Of repre eenting the opinions of all my constituents, still I may entertain the hope that all are of opinion that the representation of Southampton was not dis honoured while comsnitted to my bands. (Loud and general cheering.) But, alas ! gentlemen, all good is more or less alloyed with soinethin of bit ternese—somsthing of regret ; and while I feel that the honour you have done your late members this day is one of which both, but above all I indivi dually must be proud, because I cannot place my merits in comparison with those of your other efficient member, still I cannot but feel a pang o f regret when I reflect that this is the termination of all connection between us. (The speaker here paused, and appeared deeply moved, while the company cheered tremendously.) I cannot but feel that my political sun has set, and that although your kindness may to come extent gild the evening which I Fee gathering round me as a political man —.-(" no, no")—it cannot permit me to hope that that which was the • pride and glory of my ex istence—the honour of representing you iu Per liement—can ever again be mine.

The Duke of Portland sailed from Hong Kona; with 330 (not 500) Chinese emigrants bound for Haven nab, and 130 died on the voyage from fever and suicide, the remainder (200) having been safely landed. A rigid inquiry into the circumstances was. instituted by the Government. Another vessel, the Jelin Calvin, lost 122 out of 297 colonists. No blame attaches to the masters of either vessel ; both ships had ex perienced surgeons and ample accommodation. A fatal disease manifested itself on board the Duke of Port land, and soon became epidemic. The causes of the sick ness are traced to the quality of the water, and partly to the smoking of opium in excess. The Local Marines Board (Cornhill) are unanimously of opiaion that nu blame attaches to the owners or caetaine, or to any one I connected with the ships. It appears to the board that I the mortality on board the Portland was much aggra vated by the heat and unusuel length of the voyage (150 days), caused by the Failing of the ship in an im proper season, one month, at lee 4, later than she ought to have done—to enable her to get down the China seas. The Chinese emigrants gave much trouble on board ; they m ade frequent attempts to tak e the ship, and the captain never lay down in bed with out a cutlass at his belt. Mr. D. Ludgat, the surgeon of the ship, states that a low typhoid feve was generally prevalent among the low class of Chinese, and was brought on board by them at Hong Kong. The sick ness was attributed to improper food used by themselves, such as onions and pickles. The habits of the Chinese were very filthy. The coolies died front debdtty and affection of the liver and lungs,, and exhaustion aris.ng from the seeds of the disease. The disposition to com mit suicide was most remarkable.

A., F. R. and dated- L:indon, Feb. 13, 185( : W e have, as you are all aware, obtained from the' Porte such a general °secession as will enable us to lay down a railway between the Mediterranean and the 7 Persian Gulf, in three cant' cutive sections ; the first of which, from the month of the Orontes to Jaber Castle on the Euphrates, has been definitiVely settled by the concessions and firman of the Sultan ; so that nothing is wanting to ensure complete success excepting the same ' support and"co-operation .from the Goveinnient at home which it has already so warmly bestowed on the undone taking in Turkey. Referring you to the interesting letter of Capt. Burget4, RN., and to the report of Sir John- M'Neill respecting the port to be constructed near the Orontes and the nature of the country to be-traversed, as well as to the minutes sent home by myself, I shall on the present occasion confine my observations to four ma terial points. Ist. The advantages that would accrue to England ; 2d. The existing commerce and its extension ; 3d. The difficulties expected from the Arabs ; 4th. The means of laying down the proposed railway. " let. By means of the proposed railway, troops and warlike stores, mails, to., cool i be conveyed from Eel land to India (Kurrachee) in the space of 15 or 16 day s, and to Southern Per,ia in a much shorter time. The - opening of this route would, as already stated, enable large tracts of•country admirably adapted for the growth of cotton, sugar, coffee, and indigo, to be cultivated, which now lie comparatively useless, and would lead to a large increase in the consumption of British manufec tures in Turkey, Central Asia, India; and Persia, it be ing the m ost direct, and cobsequently the cheapest ' means of transport 'tef those countries. These remarks •, apply especially to Persia, to which the proposed line gives a much shorter, cheaper, and readier access for our extensive commerce with that country, than the miserable mountain mule road from Trebizonde now in use, and whiCh has 191 e additional evil of being partly under Res sler'. control. " 2nd. Profane as well as sacred history shows us that extensive commerce has in all ages been carried cn through Arabia. And so it continuesto this very day. For although under the name of Gnmrook or custom duties, trade is subject to some exactions from the Arabs, it is at this moment very extensive, 'much more so, in dud, than I hall ventured to expect. I was aware, from the Custom-house returns, as given in the appendix to ' my work on the expedition to the Euphrates and Tigris, that the Indian trade to Mesopctamia alone approached' two millions ; but I found the trade through Aleppo and Northern Syria much more important. Sir John 211'Neil met in one day 1,453 laden animals beeween Suedia and Antioch ; and it appeared from the registers that, on as average, 1,200 camels and horses pass the Jisr Hadid every day with goods from Aleppo or Killis, and various other places. The papers sent home by Mr. Kennedy, which have been printed in connection with the Es phrates Valley Railway, show that 181,000 tons of goods are annually imported through Aleppo, and 179,803 tons pass from that city for export. These figures, must observe, are the results given by Mr. Kennedy ex. elusive of Mossnl and Killis, which have been overlooked by him. The r trade is very considerable. The value of the abode-mentioned imports is about 1,250,0001., of • which 444,6891. are from Great Britain ; while that of the exports amount to about 1,050,0001. Of the exports, it appears that 107,800 tons are brought from towns in or near Mesopatamia, such as Baghdad, Halal, Anah, Bussorah, &o„ and that 118,100 tons are, imported in' o those places. Subsequently to this account from Mr. Kennedy, I obtained a copy of a report to the Foreign:- • office on the trade of Aleppo from 1851 to 1855. By the details contained in that paper, it appears that the im ports to and through Aleppo in 1855 amounted to about ' 1,214,0591. and that the exports were 1,254,1301., irre spective of an internal trade with Turkey, which, - 1856, amounted to 1,079,5561. In bringing these fees before the Tansimat, and in pointing out the present ergeense of carriage (which is from 44. to 61. per ton front Aleppo to Alexendretta), in order to piove that the rat'- - way would give ample returns, I had also an opportunity of showing, by the report of Suleiman Pasha, the late Governor of Aleppo, that he actually paid into the tren miry, in 1853, 17,000 purses, which, being taken at 3 per cent., gives upwards of two millions sterling. Nita reference to the extension of commerce in these countries, I may cite that of Mossnl—which se not included in the preceding returns. In 1844, 32,0001. duty were paid by the Paella of Mossul, on goods valued at more than one million sterling. Our consul at that place, Mr. Reese:a (who cultivates cotton rather extensively, and is now in troducing the Sea Island plant), assures me that if tee means of tra ispers Could be procured, there woul I b 3 at least 300,000 camel loads annually of cotton, wool, wheat, barley, madder-roots, tobavo, &c., sent from Mossul for exportation. But Lois is only the increase that may he expected in one instance. A proportionately great one is likely to be tne consequence of facility of transport elsewhere. Cotton, silk, and grain will, with out any doubt, be more largely cultivated on the plait s between Suedia and the river Euphrates. In fact, ne. thing is wanting but an outlet and moderate protection, to develop the resources of this large tract of country— superior in fertility to Egypt—and to produce an enor mous commerce in Mesopotamia and Babylonia, in cotton, wool, wheat, indigo, sugar, copper, tobacco, vit. lonia, red and yellow berries, &a. "3d. The next point for consideration—the Arabs—is usually considered a serious one, indeed more so than it deserves. For lam firmly persuaded that, with judicious managelient, everything can be satisfactorily arranged with this people. I found this opinion on the fact that trade has always existed in these countries, and on rey own experience of the Arabs. It is obvious that it they were to endeavour to stop trade altogether, instead ef levying a toll or duty; as is their practice, they wetted do themselves an irreparable iejury, and they are per fectly alive to their own interests in this matter. With reference to a wore enlarged trade, and to the means of ensuring its security, I think it would be desirable to carry out the proposal made by Sir John Malcolm, more than twenty-five years ago, to place a judicious and influential commissioner in Arabia to make arrangements With the tribes from time to tins'. It is not very long since the Arabs themselves had agents in Damascus and Aleppo, who received the sti pulated duties lot the goods passing through Arabia under their guarantee. From my experience of these people, I think such arrangements may be considered safe and binding. In the papers placed by Government before Parliament, I have already shown that the. Arabs carried money for me in various small groups, to the amount of several thoustand pounds. They also carried gunpowder and fire-arms, and various kinds of stores, without any loss whatever to their employers. They, also placed depots of fuel along the river, and most faith fully fulfilled their contracts at distant places, where we had no kind of control over them. These may be cell o I the brighter portions of my experience of several years among this people ; fur it is quite true that I have also experienced different treatment from them. As 'a simple traveller, I have been robbed more than once ; but I may add, as a curious fact, that even under these circumstances, I was able, on the faith of the \English name, to borrow money from the very individuals who had already taken mine. I think, if judiciously mating eft by those who know something of their peculiarities, we have nothing to fear Irons the Arabs. "The singular character of this people enters largely into the 4th and operative part of the question. The, Sultan's authority is at present somewhat restricted in the country, but it will, ere long, be strengthened and consolidated in that part of the world. As Khaliph he is the acknowledged head of their religion ; but as Sultan his power is questioned, and sometimes even resisted by the wandering tribes, though not so by the sedentary in habitants' who are more or less obedient to the laws of the empire. ' For the first part of the proposed under taking, that of the connexion of the Mediterranean with the Euphrates, there is no danger whatever ; and it is needless tp remark that the completion of this propo , e4 portion of the route al me, w,ll of itself very matcri. a lly shorten the distance and time between England and India. Beyond Jaber it may he otherwise, although I hope not to any serious extent. Indeed, I think that the protection, as arranged in detail on the part of the Sultan, will give us the necessary security. Bearing in mind tha , . the Sul bar's power is unquestioned at Mossul, .at Baghdad, at Bussorah, and at other places, we have only to fear the predatory movements of the Nomad tribes who intervene; and with such paints d'appui, as large garrisons in Baghdad and some other places, I do not apprehend any serious difficulty from this quarter; expect the assistance of the seden woef may the towns along the Euphrates and Tie some measure depend indiiectly upon the especial ly t g ar ysßwhctoi k i a h n s s Sultan through the chief Peeha 3 . In short, having the immediate support and protection of the Sultan, with. ample means as to troops, and our own increasing in fluence among the Arabs in consequence of the employ ment of their camels and themselves to a large extent, I • do not see that we have anything to fear, nor do I anti cipate any difficulty beyond that of organi'ation in lay ing down the rails. The construction of a railway being • a gradual operation, its progress, like my intercourse with the tribes in 1835, 1836, and 1837, will be gradual also ; during which time they will be taught to second rather than oppose the railway, and by the time it has reached Aleppo, we maiecount on the cordial support of this singular people. Three different messages of con gratulation were sent to me wbilst recently at Alepp one of these was accompanied by an offer to bring 4,000 or 5,000 workmen from the neighbourhood of Mossul, 'some of whom had been employed as the excavators of the Assyrian ruins. ' "In conclusion I may mention that in all my nego tiations with the Porte I set aside entirely all increase of commerce from India, Central Asia, and Persia, and founded my calculations solely on the commerce now actually existing, which give the followirg results : The import's to Alexandretta alone amounttot to a 50,000 tons, and the exports to a bout the same, tbe l veloe being about 2A millions sterling in 1855, the whole of which would pees over the railway between the Medi terranean and Aleppo, and theEuphraess.. The probable receipts of the fir 4 section of the railway would Leperb as follow :—lmports and exports, 100,000 tons, at ton, 200,000/. ; deduct 50 p er cen t , for worki n g ex penses, 100,0001. ; leaves 100,0001., or equal to 7 per cent. on the capital. This is exclusive of passenger traffic Tue rate of carriage for goods between Aleppo and the sea varies from 31. 63. Bd. to 61. 13s. 41. per ton ; in the above estimate of the receipts of the proposed raila ay, on l y 21. per touis charged for the carriage between the geplarates and the Mediterranean. Should you require any further information regard. ing the concessions which have been obtained from the Porte, and which you have received in detail, I shall most happy to afford it.—l have the honour, &c., .

'of Royal Engineers, and a cargo of naval and miii t.ary steres for China. The company, consi-tiug of Captain, Clerke in command, Lieut. Malcolm, Lieut. Pritchard, Lieut, Lennox, 4 sergeants, 9 co •porals, and 83 privates, arrived .at the Arsenal station from Chatham, where they wete met by the . band of the Royal, Artillery regiment and escorted to t. he pier, whence they immediately embarked, and iu les, than an hour the vessel was under way for Graveseud, Mark Sharp, a gunner of the C troop of Royal Horse Artillery, who was admitted to the hospited about tin days ago,. suffering front the loss of his thumb and 'ether injuries, sustained -lay the pre mature explosion of a field piece during the menceuvres which took place oa Woolwich- COMMOiI on the occasion of the visit of Lord Bloomfield, is progressing favourably, although incapacitated for farther service. A detachment court-martial, composed of one captain and two lieutenants of the corps, last week assembled to i nvest . get is the accusation brought against Sergeaet W. Sinus, who directed the firing party at the eon. The charge was preferred against the accused, as neglect of duty in giving the word " Ready" before No. 2 gunner was clear of the gun wheel. The case having been clearly proved was nevertheless acknowledged to be one of ordinary occurrence in cases of speedy firing. By sentence of the Court martial, which was confirmed by the commanding officer, the prisoner was ordered to be reduced from the grade and • pay of sergeant to the statioa of gunner in the ranks. The gull-boat Leven was on Saturday removed from the b tein at Woolwich, and, having shipped her ammunition at the Arsenal, she proceeded un der steam ti Greenhithe to adjust compasses and to join the gun-boat squadron under orders for China. When nearing her moorings to be swung she got foul of one of the buoys, and damaged one of the bled s of her propeller. She was conse quently brought back to Woolwich for repairs. The paddle-wheel steamers Bann. and Brune hav ing been pronounced by the Mister Shipwright at Woolwich unfit to undertake tie voyage to China, the Bauu is ordered to be despatched to Sheerness, and the Brune to be fitted as a tender for service on the co tst of Africa. A corporal of the Royal Marines, named Samuel Long, recently appointed with a detachment to serve on hoard: the gun-boat Slaney, ordered to China, died on Saturday morning in the Marine infirmary at Woolwich from the effects of a wound sustained on beard the receivieg ship-Rabe, moored off Woolwich Dockyard, on Thursday. It appeaas that the deceased, while parading his beat as the sentinel on duty, was savagely assaulted by a sea man named George Bave, who bad that morning , been liberated from confinement below, and that immediately on reaching the upper deck be delibe rately cut the ship's boat adrift, so as to cut off all communication with the shore, and, rushing furi ously on the sentry, possessed himself of his bayo net, and plunged it into his groin with fatal suc cess, vowing at the same time that he would be re venged ou.more than one on board, and, flourish ing the reeking weapon above his head, strode - the deck in search of another victim. It being nine o'clock at night the deck was fortunately clear. The • ship's boatswain, who hapoenad to be on particu larly friendly terms with him, hearing the cries of the wounded marine, hastened on deck, accom panied by a number of the ship's company, but no one thought it prudent to approach him. The boat swain, however, at length succeeded by stratagem (on the plea of shaking hands) in pinioning his arms, and thus prevented further bloodshed: A serge I nt and some constables of the dockyard police were promptly on board, when the delinquent was securely ironed and guarded for the night, and in the morning was handed over to the custody of the civil authorities. On Saturday morning, at an early hour, perceiving that the poor fellow was in a dying state, a messenger was despatched to Green wich to summon the attendance of Mr. Traill, the pollee magistrate of the district, in order to take the dying man's deposition, but be had expired be fore the magistrate's arrival.. The murderer boasts of his crime, and declares his sorrow at having failed to satiate his revenge on more than one. A new description of breech-loading gun, manu factured by M. A. M. Montigny, of Antwerp, was on Saturday landed at the R o y al Arsenal, Wool wich. The weight of the piece is two tons, and it is intended as a sample for the approVal of the authorities. • Two wrought-iron guns a nine and three-pounder have likewise been delivered at the Arsenal front the Nile foundry, Birmingham, also as samples, with a view of introducing some important improvements into the artillery service of the way. Her Majesty's gunboat Minx, Lieut.-Commander Richard H. Roe, was on Saturday paid off at Wool wich, and ordered to undergo repairs of maahinery, forthwith. The, Avon steam-tender arrived at Portsmouth yesterday with supernumeraries from the eastward, and left again in the evening for the westward with others. The Bustler paddlewheel steam-tug, tender to the Hibernia, at Gibraltar, arrived at Sheerness on Friday evening, last from the Mediterranean, and left Sheerness for Woolwich.. In consequence of the strong winds and heavy sea Mr. Jackson, Assistant-Maoter-.A.ttendantof her Majesty's dock-yard at Sheerness, superintending the 'raising of the Coast-guard cutter Curlew, has been unable to raise her fora: ard by her own chain cables so as to sweep her with proper chains for weighing her when the weather permits. The ,Falmouth, T. Carrick second raast3r in com mand, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday last from Davenport and Portstnouth. A. line-of-battle ship, supposed to be either the Cressy or Majestic, from the Mediterranean, was seen off Portsmouth between 2 and 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon, working up Channel. The Devastation, 6 , steam sloo p , Commander Marshall, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning from ,Plymouth with men paid off from the James Watt and Euryalus ; ate landed them, and then proceeded for the eastward with others. The Sylph steamvessel arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday evening from the Channel Islands with the remainder of the 72d Regiment for Sborncliffe and a detachment of Royal Artillery. The First Lord of the Admiralty (Sir C. Wood), Sir B. Walker (Survey or of the Navy) Lieut.- Colonel Greene, Director of Admiralty Works, Etc., are expected to make a visit to the g oaan-bt slips at Hasher this day.
