P ar' Cl' tll4 led l ' e ading of journals_ of a higher class." There bi g' however, i n these conclusions, quite a begging of the question. Where is the proof of Ille thocrity in the cheap papers ? Why, except in the quality of the material, perhaps, on which th ey are printed, the cheap papers,—the daily Papers we mean of course, whether metropolitan. (31. ‘ Provincial,—have, generally speaking, nothing Whatever of mediocrity about. them. The 'standard and the Morning Star are quite as °c hi , in our humble opinion, as respecti their sub ject-matter, as the. Morning Herald and the 34 r/zing_ Advertiser. And if we institute a co mparison of the provincial daily papers with t heir weekly contemporaries, we slzall find 'that It will be quite as favourable to the for Mer, if ao t more so. , • But granting that there were some degree of i illediocrity in the cheap 'Press, what we should iatend for, as of the utmost importance to all,. the necessity, on that very ground, , of its,receiv sag such popular support as may enable it to ri se more and • more out Of that Mediocrity. Whether it is a good thing or bad thing," our 3 atemporry admits—" whether we like it or not the Penny Press will continue and will spread. N othing except the continuance of the paper , 1 11 tY . prevents it 'spreading much more than it `` ° es• Perhaps the best thing that could be done I 'Guld be to remove the paper duty, because, as t he Commercial prospects of a penny paper would . b thus greatly improved, it is not impossible th at a high class journal might then flourish, a lthou g h offered at so small a price." With. 411 this we entirely agree. Nothing can pre /eat the spread of the cheap Press, as the P o pular everyday reading. of - the masses of the people ; and whether :we 'regard the 111) .ieet as members of a political party, °l 'as members of society , it is impossible I . ` e avoid the conclusion, that, such being the 'se, it is of the highest moment, both to politi cal and social interests, that the popular Press S hould have every encouragement to rise above Me diocrity, and every inducement to become an 49 h° 1 1r and an advantage to the country. AS respects Liverpool, and such other towns 48 have nothing but the cheap Press in daily Peration, the importance of its being above xi k edioerity, and in every respect calculated only to communicate early and correct eitelligence, but to inculcate virtuous prin- Piest and incite to praiseworthy objects, s wat be of th e hi g h es t i m po r tance, we repeat, to the interests not only of the political parties Which they seek respectively to serve, but to so elet37 at large. And it rests with the public to .We full effect to this. The three daily papers la Liverpool are, one and all, of the cheap P ress. Not speakin g for ourselves in particular, but for us all, we honestly think, that it cannot `kith much fairness be imputed to any of us that qa are very medi ocre . W e s h ou l d certa i nly lik e i.. 5 than our readers a b e tt er qu alit y o f mate ri a l, the price at which we supply the paper will P r esent enable us to 'do ; and this feeling , we 40 , 4 doubt, is participated in 'by both our re 'eeted contemporaries. But in other respects— regards th e general quality of that with which t 've B uPply them—whether it belocalintelligence, Political of public proceedings, general news, or Zlitical disquisition, we can scarcely think, were , the Price of the several papers three times what is, that, as provincial journals, we could very raise them much higher above mediocrity ' 1 11 they stand at present. • MERSEY STEEL AND IRON WORKS VOLUNTEERS. tbs. O f late, we have had frequent and gratifying oppor 7ittles of bearing testimony to the 'patriotic feeling ab has been evoked in Liverpool, and responded to 4 such praiseworthy alacrity in raising the requisite . 0f :;'.s, and enrolling a fine body of men as volunteer corps, It Zfrerent arms, for the protection of our shores from b r 'ace, or the yet greater insult of aggression. In f . ° tooting this patriotic movement, all ranks and classes ) , ,y t he community have vied with each other. The ') f have contributed liberally ; and up to the end 04 d-st Week, donations to the extent of £2,085 had been 4 01 , 4434 11 in, aid of the, general fund. , This included a b a lition of £lOO from his' Worship the Mayor, (Thomas \p-7 4 , 1 ,eY Anderson, Esq.,) one each of p5O from Es' Brown, Esq.

To this, however, we t ° add, that several sectional bodies of the inhabi itieetate bestirring themselves for the establishment of he a "Ills, of which those whose names stand at the t i e l ' of this notice claim peculiar and favourable consi ration. h em T he Mersey Steel and Iron Works Company, at the I) )to of which, as i s we ll known, is our respected k to ugh representative, Mr. T.

The Mersey Steel and Iron Works i tt ,_ftteers already number 20 0 rank and file, divided e l s °two companies. The artillery company is under lltqlhand of Captain William Cl ay, managing partner firm the rifle company under command Ca tet„ * Dtain M'Neile, another partner of the Ctuneut.

It is worthy of note that, besides this handsome contingent to . the national defence, Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall, M.P., the head of the co-partnery, gives a donation of twenty-five pounds to the general fund, and his brother, Mr. Robert Horsfall, contributes an annual subscription of ten pounds. When it is further borne in mind that, a year or two ago, this enterprising firm constructed, at their own expense, and presented to Government, a gigantic piece of wrought-iron ordnance, which was, and still remains, the triumph and the won der of- the scientific military world, at a cost of nearly £5,000, it will be admitted that the gentlemen . who compose this eminent co-partnery have not only vindi cated their claim to the possession of a large share of patriotic public spirit, but have done much also to maintain and extend the general character of the Liver pool community, in regard to the manifestation of patriotism and self-sacrifice for the general good—a manifestation which has been loyally seconded .by those in their employment.

The Moniteur, of this morning, publishes the following- statement :—" The French Govern ment, believing that the delegation of the regency of Central Italy. to M. Buoncompagni would pre judice the question which will be, submitted to the approaching congress, had looked to ' the adoption of the above measure with regret. This impression is now modified by the explanations given by the Government of. Sardinia, which de clares the maintenance of public order was the sole object and only aim of the above delegation to M. Buoncompagni, and that the concentration in-his hands of the Governments of Central Italy had in no manner the character of a virtual regency." With reference to this question the article concludes by reminding the public that the Monitettr is the only political organ of the Government. • The Moniteur likewise contains a decree to insure the execution of that clause of the treaty of Zurich wherein the giving up of the Austrian vessels captured during the late war, but not yet adjudged as prizes, is stipulated. The Post expresses its belief that on the regency question the Sardinian Government might, with a little more prudence and statesmanship, have avoided lowering its dignity, and causelessly endangering the interest§ of Italy.

LANDSEER, R.A.—We have been much gratified by visiting the fine pictures by Sir Edwin Landseer; four in number, now on private view at Mr. Grundy's gallery in Church-street. They consist of his great picture, " Saved : " a Newfoundland dog just landing, or rather having just landed, a child who, it is evident, had fallen into the sea. No one is near, in the shap . e of a spec tator, 'and the mute eloquence of the dog is left to tell . the story, which is forcibly brought forward.. The other pictures are, " Highland Lassie Crossing a Stream," the prope4 of her Majesty ; " The Pen, the Brush, and the Chisel," presented . by Lady Chantrey to the Queen; and " The Maid and the Magpie," bequeathed to the nation by the late Jacob Bell, Esq: These pictures possess the genuine touch and true expression, so thoroughly characteristic of Landseer. They are' all rich in colour, and full of artistic fidelity and meaning. • We'would recommend our readers to ply them a visit. THE CEREMONY AT ST.

This fine corps is composed of a splendid set of fellows from the Phoenix safe works, Alderman Bennett's foundry, and other large establishments in the town, and is commanded by two grandsons of Mr. Wm. Brown. It is stated that the men of the First Liverpool Volunteer Artillery were sot in uniform (the dress having not yet been decided upon by the Lord-Lieu tenant of the County), and that they were therefore not admitted to take part in the ceremony of swearing in the 'corps organised by Mr. 'Walter. LECTURE BY DR. TAYLOR IN ST. BAR NABAS' SCHOOLS, GREENLAND ST. Yesterday evening, the Rev. • Dr. Taylor, incumbent of St. John's Church, delivered an instructive lecture, in the above schools, to a respectable assemblage. The learned doctor on entering the lecture-room was received with burAs of applause. The doctor selected as. the subject of his lecture " St. Columba, Augustine, Wickhffe, Cranmer,—or the History of the British Churoh." The proceedings were opened with prayer. Councillor John H. Wilson occupied the chair, and after a few prepara tory remarks, introduced Dr. Taylor, who was received with loud plaudits. The Rev. Doctor having an nounced the subject of his lecture, said he should discuss the subject under three heads, and divide it into three parts ; for, he found, after all, there was nothing like the good old style of divisions. (Hear, and cheers.) He first reviewed the position 'of the Chureh. of Christ from the Ist to, the 6th centuries, and said, during these centuries, the church was scriptural and orthodox. The second part would consist of the history of the church during the Roman period ; and the third part of the lecture would take a review of the introduc tion of the Anglican Church, the church as now planted in the country, and which he denominated the Ch urc h of England and the Char& of the Reformation. (Cheers.) . Some parties had attributed the introduction of the Gos pel. into England to Joseph of Arimathea, and others said that St. Paul himself first erected the standard of the Cross in these kingdoins; other went on to say that good King Julius assisted much in the first years of the Church's history. One thing was, hoWever true : that in the early period of th e Chi s ti an era , the Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached in its purity by the early Christians of the English Church, and many of them sealed their faith with their blood. The doctor next proceeded to speak of St Columba, who in the early history of the Church, left Ireland with twelve de voted men, to preach the gospel in Scotland, and in which, country he lived 30, years, from 535 to 565. There was no.printing press then, and he thanked God for a free and unfettered press. After passing a high eulogium on the press as an organ for. the dissemination of reli gious and , civil liberty, he concluded . his lecture by a stirring appeal to all Protestants to stand by the Bible and its doctrines ; and, in doing so, there need be no fear of. foreign invasion. . A vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer, the Doxo logy was sung, and the business concluded. • • . LABOUR AND LABOUR'S RIGHTS VERSUS THE 'LONDON LOCK-OUT: A lecture on the above subject was delivered in the Odd Fellowii-hall, St. Anne-Street, last evening: The chair was occupied by Mr. McDonald, chairman of the Trades' Guardian Association of . Liverpool, who com plained that the newspaper press, from the " Thunderer of Printing-house-square ' down to little local pop guns," had done' the workmen great injustice. ~He con cluded a somewhat fiery . addresS by introducing the , Rev. K A. Verity as the lecturet. Mr. Verity, on said, die had accepted with the greatest pleasure this invitation of the Trades Associa tion of Liverpool to addresS them on this important movement. He wished to divide his discourse into three parts, which he thought would onbrae,e the whole question, and the first part would lie the question of the nine hours' movement ; the second, the strike at Messrs. Trollope's ; and the third, the lock-out and the docu ment. He thought , the nine houtS' movement was a great idea, but that was not enough, for he thought with King Alfred the Gieat, 'that eight hoiirt' work a day Was • quite sufficient fot any man, however strong. . Working men had most of them wives and faMilies, buthe never was able, according to the rules of the London : working hours, to see them more than once a day, whereas the master "could drive to his pl a c e o f b us iness at ten o'clock,. and return to his wife" and family at the convenient , hour of three, or four in:the afternoon. Snell comforts were altogether • denied to the working man as were enjoyed': by hiS master, whoie stay, he was. If they had not 'Mote time, they would have the. Earl of:: Derby coming to Liverpool and giving* them a lecture, and that lectute would be followed by Mr. Pisraeli giving:them a disSertation on the necessity of,applying themselves:mote to intellectual pursuits, or • they would have Bright speaking of their great intelli gence as if they were alifiost fitting to become - members of Parliament. How were they, as Working men, ,td expect to achieve these , great, wonders which were looked for of thein, if they had not more leisiire..They were like the poor cabman's hotse, which was so well taken care of that he had two, sacks full of Oats at home, but had not time to eat them. The building trade had great i nte ll ec t ua l f easts sprea d ou t for its inernbers; but, like the poOrhorse, they had not time for theii. enjoyment. How could they ever expect the great Utopian age, when England should become the worship of the wo;ld, and the working man should be the . gentl eman o f England_? On the second division of his discourse, he said many people were like Messrs. TrolloPe, and thought that there should. be no such thing as strikes in this country ; but they were to remember that such .people were all capitalists. He could not think but that men should strike when they had good ground for striking; but he did not like to see them taking place in July. He would rather see them ()centring in Match or April. The. Times had taken up the strike as the 'struggle of povetty against riches ; but; after - all, the Times had pangs of conscience occasionally, as, for instance, when it talked of the oppressed needle-women, or the badly clothed soldiers in the Crimea. With regard to the " document," the masters met together for the purpose of starving out 10,000 that had never done them any harm, and such a proceeding was criminal. He trusted before spring to see the master-builders of London who had committedsuch an outrage on humanity, arraigned at the Central Criminal Court, and standing in the felon's dock, to answer the charge of feloniously conspiring together to starve to death ten thousand of the building operatives of England. The master builders had said that their meeting was a reprisal, which. simply meant an act of revenge ; and he was glad to know, that .no nation on the earth, nor any body of men, recognised that word towards his fellow man, except the master builders of. London. He believed that non-society men were traitors.to not only their fellow-labourers, but to themselves and all that was dear to them ; and he would say, use no violence to any non-society man, bat leave him to himself, and allow him, as the High Priest of Israel allowed the scape-goat with the sins of the people on its head, to go into the wilderness and there live a secluded life to the end of his days. He concluded his lecture, and sat &vim loudly applauded. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Osborne and some others, and it then broke up. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales took leave of her Majesty, and left Windsor by an early train on Tuesday for Oxford, attended by Colonel the Hon. R. Bruce and Captain' Grey. • The Prince Consort has honoured Dr. Mayne, of Leeds, by accepting the dedication of his work, the " Expository Lexicon." The marriage of the Earl of Dalkeith, M.P., son of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleu.ch, with Lady Louisa Hamilton, third daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, was solemnised on Tuesday forenoon, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. Notwithstanding it was the wish of the interested families that the nuptial proceedings should be conduCted as privately, as possible, owing to the recent death in the Hare wood family, a more than ordinary number of persons literally crowded the church, the nave with difficulty being kept clear for the passage of the wedding party. The Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, canon of Windsor, uncle of the bride, performed the religious ceremony, the bride being given away by the Marquis of Abercorn, her father. At the conclusion 'of the solemnity,- the newly married couple and their friends repaired to the vestry, where the marriage was registered according to the usual form. At twenty minutes after twelve the bride and bridegroom left the church by the principal entrance in - George-street, and departed in the Marquis of Abercorn's carriage for Chesterfield House, amidst the hearty cheers of the curious crowd assembled without. Early in the afternoon the happy couple left town for Boughton House, the Duke of Buccleuch's seat in Northampton shire to pass the honeymoon. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are enter taining a large party at Hatfield House, Herts. THE BONES FROM SEBASTOPOL. Messrs. William Brown, Akinson, and Co., of Hull, agents of Lloyd's" ' state, with regard to the importation of'bones from Sebastopol, that every precaution is taken by the authorities for an immediote report in case any human bones are found in . the discharge of such cargoes, and that no case of desecration has occurred. BRIBERY AT NORWICH. Yesterday the magistrates of Norwich again offer into the charge of bribery, and the oof £5OO to a town councillor in *consideration of receiving his vote for Conservative aldermen, but his case was postponed till the Bth of Dec.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, Sin,—Owing to your having stated, in an article in your paper of the 21st instant, that we lithographed the plans of the Free Library and Museum, we have been called upon by gentlemen desirous of inspecting or pur chasing impressions ; but as we are not authorised by the Board to oblige such, perhaps you will have the goOdness to give the fact publicity.

Duke-street, 23rd Nov., 1859. - NAMES OF THE STREETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sin,—Observing in the Daily Post, of to-day, a note from a citizen respecting the orthography of the streets, I deem it necessary to make a few remarks relative to the alteration of the names of the streets. Some few weeks ago King-street-lane, out of Islington, was altered to King's-street-lane, Soho, .and I. believe many other names of streets were altered, without the Health Coni mittee g iving public notice 9f the alteration. When our worthy Postmaster considers it judicious to place strange deliverers on the beat sometimes twice 'a week, it would puzzle any man to know his . rendezvous. Thus I have had my Scotch letters delivered at 11 a.m., instead of 8 a.m. ; thus by my leavino• for 'town, and not returning till six in the evening, I miss answering my communi cations until late in the evening ; when, as the Scotch mail leaves Liverpool at 1.20, I am delayed with my answers one day, which is a most important difference, especially in a Scotch interior town. In referring to the repetition of names of streets, the thing, is most absurd, that we should thus be obliged to give the most explicit address of, let me say—Bedford streetthere is Bedford-street North and South, via Abercromby-square ; there is Bedford-Street North and Sduth, Toxteth-park. How many Duke-streets, King- . streets, Lord-streets, Church-streets, Boundary-streets, and many others, have we not in Liverpool? Surely it would not cost much to, have the streets dissstn4ar in titles. Even oar American friends, rather than put up with this, number their streets,' and call them 15th street, or 20th street; or'if avenue, 20th avenue, or 21st ditto; then (excusing at the same time the length of my note) let me propose that , a committee of inventive genii ba organised to bring our street under a compatible regime, so that we Liverpudlians may not be the laughing-stock of our country cousins, especially on this subject: I would be most happy . to show my friends many samples of bad orthography in Liverpool, streets, viz., Falkner street west end-1 aulkuer-street„ east ; or; waslately.= Yours, truly, - CITIZHN THE SECOND. SUBSTITUTES IN THE ENGLISH ANT) FRENCH . ARMIES. • • TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMBS. SIR,--r beg to enclose You a copy of the Daily Post,' in which appears a letter from a Frenchman, which un replied to,,givcs a very unfair account of the. matter he writes about. I replied to the Editor of the'Daily Post, and as they do, not think my letter worth inserting, I trust that your spirit of fairness will Place 'my reply before the ' y E ol E u n p rr e o rm it is o s r io . n zir w D eu A l ir m 'r a o k s e T a . public.—Yours truly, A. LOVER or Jusiid r . T 7 o t T h il in few re marks in reply to a Frenchman's' letter youi to-day's paper. He takes umbrage at your CoMpariug the low price paid in England for a substitute 'to the army, viz., 405., to the high price paid in 'France, viz., £5O. HI am right; I understand you drew the comparison to-day; but the Frenchman adroitly replies by saying, if it now costs £5O in France to obtain a substitute, it cost in the time of the great Napoleon in England £6O, £BO, and £lOO each for the same thing. With due respect to the. Frenchman's mode of reasoning, I think such compari sons are most unfair. We, must either compare thq, price of substitutes in both countries during thd time of the great Napolebn' Or now; but as he forgets that comparison, , I supply it : 7 -During Napoleon' s "time in France, the conscription was a terror, and' ,the price of substitutes most enormous.; previous to his campaign to Russia, in 1812, th e va l ue ,l Of a substitute, was £450. When his army was anni hilated, on,his return to Paris another f ear f u l conscrip tion Was ordered, when three hundred thousand men were imniediatel7 wanting, to resist the numerous• enemies'noW closing on France. No' language can describe the appalling effect this had on that countrwoe ,grief, misery; and prices of substitutes instantly ,abanced to £1,500: Many families ruined themselves in trying to save some dear son or sons from the army; indeed, many men would' not go for any money, as the losses of the French army. at that day were so frightful, in Spain, Germany, Russia, everywhere, that if a Man went iito the army he never came: out, and the substitnte' looked on ,himself' as going to certain death. What at that day was the feeling in England, quite the reverse, a burning desire to serve, : the country full of volunteers, and the price of substitutes to the line, a mere nominal thing, , certainly not more than £3O. (Alison, the great historian, is my authority.) I don't wish to hurt the Frenchman's feelings, but write this infairness, As I belieVe his 'country, without exception, 'to bithe first military power on the earth ; and no people but the French could have achieved such mighty victories as they did at the beginning of this century, and it required the united e.forts of almost all Europe to ultimately subdue them.—Yours, &c., AN IRISHMAN. Nov. 19, 1859. • DISTRESS OF THE MOROWTEEN JEWS. "He that Lath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord."—PROVERBS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY MIES. Sia.—Annexed, I respectfully beg to hand • you dupli cate of a letter forwarded to a metropolitan avail, the insertion of which in your next issue will much oblige the writer. The appeal of the Gibraltar Relief Com mittee is so urgent, the counter appeal of the Board of Deputies of British Jews so pressing., on behalf of the helpless young, thd old, and feeble ; the ease is so warmly recommended by the gallant Col. Maberley as being one of real distress, and endorsed by the late Cri mean hero, Sir William Codrintorl, the highest func tionary at Gibraltar; and their agonies, as described by eye-witnesses, are such—that will elicit the commisera tion of every generous heart, irrespective of creed, espe cially when the fact is known that the calamity that has befallen this helpless people is none of their own seeking, contributions will be readily accorded. Apologising for the length of this communication, I am, &c., L. F. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " JEWISH CHRONICLE." SlR,—Born at Gibraltar, I shall venture to offer a suggestion in reference to the Moroqueen Jews, now encamped at the north end of 'my native town. The Jewish inhabitants of the fortress are, to a great extent, engaged in trade as retailers, who are (since many of the old rich families left the garrison) the chief sup porters of their many excellent institutions. This,class, though highly taxed, hive most worthily raised from 3,000 to 4,000 dollars, at a period when business is in a state of stagnation, to relieve the immediate wants of the houseless refugees from Tangier ; and, upon this point I desire to be explicit, since it is going the rounds that the Gibraltar Jews are the claimants for our charity in England; whereas they appeal• to us, in • the sacred name of humanity, for the sufferings .of their unfortunate brethren in utter distress. As per latest files, there seems to be tipwards of twenty men of-war ships in the bay, who must necessarily require fresh provisions daily for their large crews, the supplies being meagrd and, irregular in coming, keeps food at an' enormous high rate, consequently fears are entertained of the dire results which will ensue, and which I regret to hear aro being felt severely ; there fore, the sooner Alderman Salomon's scheme for re moving these unfortunate refugees to Algiers the greater the benefit for them and the population of Gibraltar. So far so good, as regards the Tangerin Jews ; but there is a considerably large population round the sea coast of Morocco, numbering tens of thousands, professing the same religion, still more oppressively treated --e'ean in time of peace and order—who, less fortunate than their Tangerian brethren, have no charitable Gibraltarians, nor humane Codringtons, to appeal to for sympathy and protection. It is to this class of trodden down, unhappy individuals to whom I would •parti cularly call attention. The graphic pen of your Rebat correspondent (Her Majesty's Vice-Consul) deals amply with their pitiable career. I consider this the most opportune time to raise them in the scale of civilisation. The subscriptions now pouring in might be made to serve two benevolent purposes : one to supply their. immediate want; the other to place them in a position that they may supply their own wants; to achieve this, let a portion of the Relief Fund, or a new fund be raised for the purpose of emigration; and, as British subjects, where can we better recom mend them to emigrate than to our own dependencies ? Tasmania wants population ; Australia requires hardy emigrants to make her richer; and Barbary Jews are the men, hardy, persevering, and frugal. The lan guage and habits of the colonists is an obstacle, but which can be surmounted, as they 'Would emigrate in masses, and make settlements of their own ; beside% they can all murder Queen Isabella's Spanish, and this will suffice to make themselves understood ; and, doubtless, the Australians, hearing of their distressed condition, will take the females into the bosoms of their families as domestics, whilst the men will readily get work (if only for the sake of sympathy, at first) as Mechanics, porters, aad labourers—a class of operatives which Mr. Mackay (the . great shipowner, who has recently returned from the Colony) informs us is in great demand. Of course it is the young, robust, and industrious portion of the Morocco Jews that would be adopted for such a promising country, whilst arrangements might be made with the French Government to give shelter to the old and incapacitated Hebrews, during hostilities. I trust these ,observations may meet the.keen eye of some benevolent individual who will espouse and expand them ; by so doing, a large number of our people may be benefitted —the interest of cur kinsmen in the Colonies studied —whilst" we would stimulate a desire in the breasts of the oppressed Jews of Europe to join their Moroqueen nation in a country where their faith is res pected and their rights as citizens accorded. But to revert to Gibraltar : when the policy of other generals is contrasted with that of Sir W. Codrington's it makes the heart of every Gibraltarian beat with joy at the unparalleled humanity evinced by this great hero during the late emergency ; his kindness, charity, and exertion to alleviate misery, will ever endear him to the friends of, humanity and civilisation, and gain for his deeds at Gibraltar a golden tablet in the conspituous annals of his free country.
