n it may concern at a Quarter to Bice, 9, Temple-conrt, Y AND FORK SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1856 THE public voice and Press of Great Britain have denounced the O'DONNELL massacres in Spain in languag which is not to be mistaken. The foul plot,, laid against the Throne, Constitution, and people of that forlorn country, was too monstrous to be disguised, and cannot be suffered to escape the gixecration of Christendom. Those who con- spiie - against representative institution —dissolve and banish by force-of arms the Parliament of a European State—assail the moral power and political existence of this and every other free and Constitutional nation. They break in upon that harmony and union which binds one out of two rival, families of nations together. Spain has be4eme allied to England of late years by a simi larity of institutions, and a perfect identity of views, feelings, and interests.

The sales of the week amount to 45,270 bales, 35,830 of which have been taken by the trade, 4,860 on speculation, and 4,580 for export. The sales to-day amount to 6,000 bales, 1,000 being for speculation and export. The committee's quotations to-day for fair Cotton are as follows, viz :—Bowed 6,11, Mobile 611, and Orleans 7d. per lb. We gave a statement of Stocks and Receipts of Cotton at the United States ports and elsewhere, in our publication of Wednesday, and we notice a reply in a cotemporary of to-day, but he does not attempt to deny our figures, but places on our shoulders blame for that we never attempted to state. We gave the actual stocks, &c.—not what Great Britain was to get out of them ; but even had me so, it might be made clear that there would a decrease in the sto.ilis in Liverpool at the end But we are contented with stating .ts, leaving the trade to work out their own nots I calculations. gin to stance of the Spaniards to his ambitious designs a "republican mo The whole of the diabolical plot will, however 2ment, unfold itself presently stand where Meanwhile, its concoctors " Forms terrible to view their sentry keep ; anxious pleasures of a guilty mind, The Liverpool Share Market has been firm, and a fair amount of business has been done at full prices.

The London market has fluctuated considerably; early in the week 53s per cwt was paid cal the spot, subsequently it declined to 51s 6d, but yesterday there was a reaction, and at the close the value was 51s 6d to 52s per cwt, and 50s to 50s 6d per cwt for the last three months.

It is not expected, unless materially modified, that they will be agreed to. At the opening of the Stock Market to-day, the English Funds ruled feebly at the closing prices of yesterday, with a limited amount of business doing. There is no doubt that the continued depression of affairs on the Paris Bourse (which failed yesterday to maintain the upward movement of the previous day), is the immediate cause of the heaviness in the English Funds.

NORTHERN TIDIES.---LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING Although I have still reason for believing that the French Emperor does not contemplate in the least an intervention in Spain—it would indeed be an act of folly—it is right to state that it is confi dently believed here, in well-informed quarters, that he has sent up orders from Plombieres, that an army of at least 25,000 men shall be formed on the frontier. It is not improbable that the events in Spain will cause his Majesty to return to Paris sooner than he had originally intended. There is but little news from Spain to-day, and the little there is, is of such a vague and confused character, that the public are not far wrong in supposing that affairs remain in statu quo. It seems that general Dulce is not so ambitious of winning the dubious kind of glory which O'Donnell had prepared for him in giving him the command of the SaragoSsa expedition, as the friends of the Court might wish. " Dulce est desipere in loco." Dulce accordingly lingers in Madrid biding his time. Meanwhile, detailed accounts which reach Paris of the late struggle show how little dependance is to be placed in tele graphic accounts. In Barcelona, where the fighting had been described to have been une bagatelle, the Moniteur now states the carnage to have been frightful, and to have lasted from five o'clock in the evening of the 18th to the same hour in the evening of the 21st, when the insurgents fled across the country, where they were pursued by the cavalry and sabred—Cosas de Espana. Saragossa still held out at the latest accounts, though a report of its surrender prevailed at the Bourse towards its close.

The fetes ended last night with a grand concert in the Jardin Zoologique, and a magnificent display of fireworks. The King was present at both, and his Majesty was greeted again and again with loud and enthusiastic cries of " Vive le Roi." The King also witnessed from the balcony of the Palace the grand cavalcade described in yesterday's letter, and there also he was applauded with tremendous energy by an immense multitude. The fetes have been very splendid in themselves, but they have been chiefly remarkable for their political signification. And that signification is that the Belgians are heartily, enthusiastically, devoted to their nationality, that they love and admire their King, and that they are determined to maintain his dynasty as the best safeguard of their independence and their constitutional liberties. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TURKEY Our intelligence received via Trieste, under date of the 24th instant, mentions that according to news received from Constantinople to the date of he 18th, Marshal Pelissier had been feasted and feted with an extraordinary degree of splendour and magnificence The same despatch states - that the evacuation of Turkey by the allied troops, was being accelerated day by day, and that the rumours of the occupa tion of the Ottoman territory by 20,000 French and 3,000 English forces, was wholly unfounded. We learn from the same source, that at Constan tinople European commerce was in full activity, and that the Ottoman authorities were determined to assist mercantile operations by the establish ment of a new system of octroi on goods imported . By a subsequent despatch, we learn that on the 10th instant a fire of a most alarming character had destroyed two-thirds of the town of Tessa- I IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANT-SHIP OWNERS AND CAPTAINS. WRECK OF THE ISAAC WEBB , An investigation of an important description took place yesterday at the police-office, before Messrs. T. Rathbone and J. H. Smith, in which Captain Bryar, of the American ship Isaac Webb, was summoned at the suit of the Emi gration Officers of the port, under the 28th section of the Emigration Act. The case was the first under that sec tion, and excited the attention of emigrant-ship owners. Mr. Simon was engaged for the prosecution, and Mr. Sqnirey for the defendant. Mr. Simon was, however, absent at the opening of the case, but Captain Schoenberg, in his absence, underteok to conduct the case for the pro secution. He said the prosecution was at the suit of Lieut. Prior, one of the government emigration agents of the port, and bro Light under the 28th section of the recent act, which enacted that every passenger ship should be manned with a sufficlott crew, according to the tonnage of the vessel, to the satis,faction of the emigrant officer, and that the strength of th at crew should not afterwards . be decreased or changed, um.ler a penalty not exceeding £5O. He said the case at preh - ent was against Captain i on the night of the eh on that ni g ht, Bryar, of the ship Isaac Webb, one of the American " Black Ball " ships, that was wreak, c * . hat he was 7th instant. She went ashore at Amlw. and since that time certain of the passenger: who were on board her had made such statements to him, induced to institute au enquiry into the affil.". The second mate, and other persons had also come to L'irn, and from the evidence he would produce on this occasion f he was of opinion that he should be able to satisfy the court that a breach of the law had been committed. Oa the sth July the ship was duly cleared by Lieut. Prior, one of the emigration agents, and she had then her full and competent compliment of men ; but it world appear that after she was so cleared that twelve of the men, who mustered as part of the crew, went over the side of the vessel, and were landed in a boat. She went to sea short of these twelve hands, and that was contrary to the Act. That night it came on to blow a heavy gale, and the ship went on a lee shore going down the channel, as the number of hands she had on board were not able to. manage her, and for this reason the vessel was lost. These, he said, were the simple facts of the case, and for this the captain had incurred the penalty under the Act. Lieutenant Prior was then called, and said : I cleared the ship Isaac Webb on the sth July. She had a crew of 49 men on board. That number was sufficient to satisfy the clause in the Act. She was a passenger ship. I mustered and passed all the men. I did not give any consent or authority to have the crew altered or reduced after that time. Edward H. Summers, the second mate of the Isaac Webb was examined, and said : We left Liverpool on the 7th July, and the number of the crew then, as I think, amounted only to 24 able and ordinary seamen, with boys. That was independent of cooks, stewards, and others. Captain Schoenberg : Did you see the crew mustered ? Witness: Yes, but I did not know how many they con sisted of. Captain Schomberg : You saw Lientenant Prior muster and pass the crew, and after that, did you see any one who formed part of that crew, leave the ship ? Witness : Yes, I did. There were at least twelve of them left it, as near as I could count them. Captain Schomberg : Were they ever replaced by men after that ? Witness : They were not sir. Captain Schomberg: Do you know any of the men?, Witness : Yes, I know some of them, and they are now irr Liverpool, but they will not appear. They are afraid it would injure them hereafter, if they appeared now. In continuation, the witness went on to say that the night was very bad outside, and the ship was in great diffi culties for want of hands that night. They reefed topsails before we went out. The witness then proceeded to give a. low , ' nautical account of what had been &rule with the sails of the vessel, from the time she sailed. until she struck, but as this was a purely sailor-like narrative, and in point of fact, had nothing whatever to do with the question before the court, viz., the decamping of twelve men from the vessel, it was quite irrelevant to the ques tion, and therefore:of no interest whatever. The follo;c ing, however, was important, for he said—We had not.' hands enou g h to furl the sails, which would take up some time. The ship was kept away, whilst we were going a. course before that. She was not wore after that. I am. clearly of opinion that the crew were not at all sufficient to manage the ship, in consequence of want of hands. caused by the men leaving the vessel. Mr. Wybergh : When did the twelvo men leave the' ship ? Witness They left whilst we were in the river, immediately after the Government Agent had mustered and passed the crew, and cleared her. They went away in a boat. They came from the shipping agent's office, and were engaged for the purpose of passing the emigra tion officer as part of the crew. Mr. Wybergh : How do you know that ? Witness: r know it from their own words, for they told me. Mr. Wybergh : Was that said in presence of the cap tain ? ;Witness : No, it was not, for he was not there then. Mr. Wybergh : In whose presence was it saki,. then Witness : In the presence of one of the clerks belonging to Mr. John Decosta. Mr. Wybergh : What did he say ? Witness : He said, " come ashore all hands on our side,"—meaning all the men who were engaged to pass the emigration officer, and then go on shore. Mr'. 7 Squirey preceeded to cross-examine the witness at great length, entering into most minute details. The chief points however elicited, were the facts that the witness di►d not tell the chief officer nor the captains because he did not see them. Ho admitted that he was drunk in the latter part of the day (Saturday), but that was after five o'clock, and the transactions he spoke of took place between one and two o'clock. He admitted that he took a quart bottle of whisky on board, and that two pint bottles came afterwards, but he denied that he was drunk on Sunday or Monday. He said the chief mate, Mr. M'Kenna, talked to him about his being drunk . on the Sunday. He admitted that he had not the best' feeling towards the captain for an injury he had received,. and said perhaps he would be even with him, but he denied that this made him tell any thing but the truth. Mr. Simon, about this stage of the proceedings, entered the court, and having apologised for his unavoidable absence, took up the conducting of the case. John Kelly, one of the seamen on board, was examined. This witness fully bore out the statement of the last witness, and said, the men who went away had received 2s 6d a piece for coming and passing muster. He named one of the me❑ as Pat Regan, and said he saw him than in Denison-street. He said he was offered 5s from some person named Kershaw, whom he supposed belonged to Mr. Decosta's office, not to appear. Francis Langdale gave similar evidence, as regarded the men who went away. Mr. Squirey addressed the bench for the defence, and characterised the whole transaction as a foul conspiracyr got up against the captain, who knew nothing whatever' . of the affair. In support of the defence, the following witnesses were called:— Mr. M'llenris, first officer of the Isaac Webb, was examined, and said the crew were mustered between twe and three o'clock on Saturday, the sth. Had stevedores men, and six riggers, on board. There were fifteen or sixteen stevedores as well. None of the crew mustered 131 the emigration officer went on shore, that I know of. The riggers and lumpers went on shore in a small boat. I think I should have known if twelve of the crew had gone 01 shore. Summers was hardly fit, from drink, to pass muster ; he could " jog along" only. I spoke to him then, and also on Sunday, as he was laid up drunk. He was "bobbing along" on Monday, but was not hardly able to do his dial as a correct man. In reply to Mr. Simon, the witness said it was not usual to muster riggers and stevedores with the crew. The latter were not mustered. Don't know how many of the ere(' were numbered. Don't know how many were on board. Won't swear that there were eighteen hands on a watch. Won't swear that there were more than fifteen hands On watch. The ship was sixteen hours out before she struck- There was one watch appointed, and there might be more than fifteen on it. To the Court : Every man that I "saw mustered, and passed by Lieutenant Prior, went in the ship. Mr. Simon : But did you see him pass them a ll ? Witness : I can't say that, as some of them were drunk in the forecastle. The witness was pressed very strongly I.° reference to this point, but he could not s wear positivel to anything in reference to it. One of Mr. Decostae clerks was on board, but I cannot say wha went ashore i° the boat with him. It is the duty of the chief officer to see that none of the crew leave the ship. The crew were mustered next day by Mr. Decosta's clerk. I don't knoll if the crew consisted of 24 men at that time. To the Bench : Some of the crew abandoned the sh i l l when she struck. In reply to Mr. S quirey, the witness said it was usual to lie in the river for some time to let the sailors g et sober: There were sufficient ihands to work the ship when eb 9 struck. John Reed, the third officer of the ship, was examine d ; and said the second mate Summers was a little in liquor 0 1 ' the time. He did not see any of the men go a shore' Lieutenant Prior was examined, and he said Summer* at the time, he passed the men, was perfectly sober. This closed the case on both sides, and Mr. Simon said b: would not offer any observation in reference to the ce s made for the defence. Mr. Rathbone said : This is the first case brought beie, fe r ii , u s under the Act of P ar li amen t, an d we th i nk it ,`,4 proved. We shall not i n fli c t t h e f ull fine in this case, 1-',170 if any case comes bef ore th e court aga i n, we w i ll in fli c t full penalty. We are resolved to put a stop to this pract,,l' s and protect the p u bli c . W e d o not say, in this case , the captain of the ship had a knowledge of what took plat We fine him £25 and costs.

Admir able as have been the illustrations of the scenes of war, a highly pleasing change is presented in the " Sketches of English Beauties," which, with colouring effects, show the perfection to which the typographic art can be brought. The colouring on the sketch of the " Fair Maiden," pour trayed with a felicity which only the crayon of an Absolon could effect, is of itself a gem, but finds a rival in the perfection with which the drapery, with all its display, is developed in the pourtrayal of the principal figure in the " Scenes amidst Sussex Ruins." A full page delineation of H.M.S. James Watt, completes the series of the illustrations (in addenda), and proves, at once, the liberality of the proprietors and the skill of the artists engaged. ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE.—On Wedueshy morning the court of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury re-assembled at the Guildhall, Bath, Dr. Bayford, on the part of the Rev. Joseph Ditcher, the Vicar of South Brent the promoter of those proceedings, proceeded to quote largely from the sermons of the archdeacon, in proof that they enunciated doctrines as follows :—" 1. That the body and bli ent, after an immaterial ritual manner, in the consecrated bread and wine, .ein and thereby g and are receive( o all who come to the Lord yen, and that those Rho eat and drink wor Z.

Dr. Bayford argued very elaborately upon the heretical character of these doctrines, quoting the 28th and 29th art—, of Cranmer, Ridley, Latimer, and others in support of his position. The doctrine of the nd the opinion 3 be con- aerarneut mid only be giver piritual manner, and that the bod 3 tended, was that the 1 after a heavenly and I blocd, of Christ could only be received in the same nn er Id est, by faith.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS.—FIIIDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the;wo olsack at the usual hour. THE WENSLEYDALE PEERAGE. Lord Wensleydale having received a new patent, con ferring an hereditary peerage, was introduced In the usual form by the Duke of Argyll and Lord Lyndhurst. The patent having been read, the noble and learned lord took the oaths and his seat as a peer of Parliament. On the consideration of the Commons' amendment to the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill, opposition was made to the clause introduced in the Lower House to prevent the inelosure of Hampstead Heath, and a division was taken, the numbers being 17 on each side. This decision, according to the forms of the House of Lords, involves the loss of the measure. _ A number of bills were advanced a stage, and the House rose at a quarter past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Major Boyle took the oaths and his seat for Frome. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Mr. HATTER, new writs were ordered for Kerry, in the room of Lord Castlerosse, who had accepted the office of Comptroller of her Majesty's House hold; and for Nottingham, in the room of Mr. E. Strutt, who has accepted the stewardship of Hemphol m. THE ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES• In reply to an hon. member, The LORD ADVOCATE said a bill would be introduced in the course of that night to provide for the union of the Universities of King's College and Alareschal College, Aberdeen. This bill would be laid before Parliament in order that members might be in possession of the views of the Government on the subject, but unless all parties were agreed, he did not hold that it was a subject which should be pressed in the House. MAILS TO THE CAPE. In answer to Mr. H. Berkeley, Mr. WILSON said, a tender had been accepted by the Government, for 28,000, for the conveyance of mails to the Cape, and .40,000, including the Mauritius and Indian services. The service would commence in August, and the tender was for five years. In reply to Mr. H. G. Lanr,ton - Mr. WILSON said the Government did not provide any test of the speed of vessels for the mails to Australia under the recent contract, as they considered that a suffi cient test was provided for the accomplishment of the service within the specfied time by the heavy penalties set forth in the contract. The Government had power to at any time to put an end to the contract if they were dissatisfied. SECRETARYS OF STATE. In reply to Mr. Murrough, The L'IIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the law officers of the Crown had given an opinion that the usages hitherto followed in regard to patents to secretaries of state should be continued. Those who were now in office would be required to take out their patents. THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION In answer to Mr. LAYARD, Lord PALMERSTON said it was not intended to take any further proceedings upon the Crimean Commissioners' Report. - . The Bishops of London and Durham Retirement Bill, the Evidence on Foreign Suits Bill, the Sheep, &c., Conta gious Diseases Prevention Bill, the Hay and Straw Trade Bill, and the Stoke Hospital Bill, were read a third time and passed. REVIEW OF THE SESSION, Mr. DISRAELI moved for a return of the bills rejected in the present session, and took the opportunity of presenting an resume of the business of the session. He stated that of all the important measures promised and introduced, in - &tiding the bill for assimilating the mercantile law of England to that of Scotland, the new law for part nership, the measure of law reform, the police Bill and the Bishops Retirement Bill, only the two last had been successful. He attributed this failure to the Govern ment being able to command a majority in that House, remarking that a Government, not accustomed to defeat, was neglectful in the framing of its measures. The Right Hon. Gentleman contended that the division of party had ceased to exist, and proceeded to shew that the Conservative party was unanimous in its action ; on the other hand, the noble lord at the head of the Government had propounded Conservative principles. Lord PALMERSTON defended the Government, and claimed credit for the satisfactory conclusion of the war, and the passing of important domestic measures. He did not complain of the House in regard to the loss of measures of importance, but considered that time was required before the passing of any great propositions. The noble lord contended that the confidence of the country had been extended to the Government, and, in proof of this, quoted the almost unprecedented majorities of from 100 to 194 against all motions hostile to them. Mr. M. GIBSON expressed regret at the loss of the Oath of Abjuration Bill. Affer a discussion, in which Mr. NAPIER, Mr. WILKIN SON, Mr. HADFIELD, Mr. M. T. BAINES, Mr. VANCE, Mr. L. HEYWORTH, and Mr. LowE took part, and the motion was agreed to. The Lords' Amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill, and the Poor Law Amendment (Scotland) Bill were agreed to. The Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill was withdrawn. The House adj )urned at nine o'clock. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE, OXFORD, July 23.—The following gentlemen have been elected to the vacant demiships at Magdalen College:—Mr. Blunt, of Ballion Mr. Richards, of Trinity ; Mr. Rivington, from Highgate School; and Mr. Steward, from Clapham School. Mr Worsley has been elected "on the octave "—i. e., to succeed to a demiship in case of a vacancy within eight days. Mn. BRIGIIT, M.P.—We understand that Mr. Bright has been, durine , the last ten days, residing at Inveran Inn, Sutherlandshire, engaged in the healthy occupation of fishing in the river Shin for salmon and grilse. The hon. gentleman, a few days since, in the course of three hours, landed four grilse and one salmon of 10} lbs., and lost, in addition, two fish. We are happy to be able to say that Mr. Bright's health is steadily improving. HEATING STE VMSHIPS.—Mr. Wethered's method of superheating steam, which was applied and tested for experimental purposes on board the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle last winter in 'Woolwich basin, has bee❑ ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty to be continued on board the steam troopship Dee, which vessel has been fitted so as to carry out the intended course of experiments more fully. The success of the system will, it is said, create considerable economy in the consumption of fuel, and will thereby reduce the expense attending the use of steam machinery to from 30 to 40 per cent. THE DEATH OF ADMIRAL GLYNN.—Admiral Henry Richard Glynn died on Sunday last at his residence at Bide ford, Devon, at the age of 87 years. The Admiral was the son of Sergeant Glynn, formerly M.P. for Middlesex. He entered the navy as first class volunteer in 0780, on board the Bellona, 74, Captain Richard Onslow, whom he accom panied to the West Indies. The deceased had received the silver war medal and two clasps, and also the medal awarded to the officers who served in Lord Howe's fleet from the Ist of June. The late Admiral served the office of Mayor of Plymouth in 1838. VIOLENT THUM JEII STORM AT HUDDERSFIELD.—Hud• dersfield was on Wednesday visited by a storm of terrific viole.ice, which burst forth so suddenly that almost the first intimation people had of it was the flashing of light ning in their faces, succeeded almost immediately by an appa lli n g illustration of " Heaven's artillery." The storm was at first unaccompanied by rain, which afterwards, however, descended in torrents. We have only heard of some slight damage—namely, the entering of the fluid through the roof of the house of Mr. Skinner, Independent minister, doing some damage to the plaster and a beam; a boy momentarily rendered speechless, an old oak tree split, and some poultry paralysed. THE STATE OF SPAIN Despatches received from Paris, under yester day's date, mention that at eight o'clock in the morning of the 23rd inst., the troops were masters of every point at Barcelona, but still remained under arms. The struggle was very sanguinary. Preparations were being made for executing the persons who were taken with arms in their hands. General Ruiz commands the garrison at Gerona, which has risen. The above news only serves to corroborate the intelligence which we have already received by telegraph. Since then we have received advices from Bayonne of the 24th inst., state that according to a letter from Saragossa, dated the 20th inst., General Falcon had held a review of 16,000 men. A battalion of Royalists, which had left Tudela, revolted on arriving near the town, and joined the insurgents. The Custom-house officials did the same 15,000 militiamen or peasants, coming from Quinca, were advancing to join the Arragonese. The frontier of Navarre is tranquil. AMERICA. The steamer Edinburgh arrived at Greenock on Thursday morning, from New York, after a passage of twelve days and fifteen hours, bringing dates to the 9th instant, which are four days later than those received by the last arrival at this port, From the intelligence brought by this source, we learn that the New York Herald, in an article on the election for the Presidency, states that the relative position of the candidates for that high and responsible distinction stands thus. [Be it remembered, that in this announcement we merely quote our Transatlantic cotemporary.] The New York Herald thus sums up the claim• ants to the presidency :—Fremont, head over all northern ; Fillmore bristled up in the south, Buchanan losing ground. News from the Kanzas, via Chicago, is to the 11th inst. Thus we learn that on the 11th inst., at Kanzas, General Lane had been driven back on the, 4th instant into the town with a body of emigrants. Some doubts had been expressed with regard to the news, inasmuch as it was believed that General Lane and his company were 108 miles distant from the Missouri river, in New Orleans, on the 10th July, and could not by possibility have been present We learn from New Orleans, under date of the 10th instant, that the steamer Quaker City had arrived at Mobile, with Havanna dates to the 6th. Shares were then buoyant. The cotton trade was easier, the sales for England, in three days, being 13,500 bales, at 101 c. to 10/c. for middling. Ashes, small sales, and prices buoyant. Cotton firm, at full prices. Rice firm. Sugar firm. Freights to London 2s 10bd to 3s. COUNTY COURT.—BEFORE JOSEPH PoLLOCK, E sQ.— There were upwards of 140 cases disposed of in this court yesterday. They were moitly undefended actions, and were of no interest, except to the parties concerned. MILITARY , EMBARKATON; —Yesterday, cur town was delighted, and we may add honoured, by the passing through to their respective destinations of two distinguished regiments in her Majesty's service. The first in order, is the nth Royal Irish, who (en. route from Aldershott,) marched to the landing stage in the attire in which they won glory in the Crimea—a costume not improved by their recent encampment on their native shoree. They presented nevertheless, a most warlike and bror zed appeaeance, and though the uniform they wore might be faded, the medals worn on the breasts of m any of the heroes, bespoke a hearty and enthusiastic welcome from their fellow countrymen. Others of the veteran class, besides the Cfitnean decoration, wore the Burmah medal, reminding .those.who have a rem_ niscence of military affairs, that this gallant regiment had only returned from its Indian achievements slx. months, when it obeyed thesummons to transfer its brilliant serviers to the Crimea • of their heroic exploits, others have already essayed to do justice. Tue 18th embarked on board the ship Imperatrice for Dublin, there to do garrison duty, and receive the genuine welcome which Irishmen can give to a distinguished Irish regioriouments 18 . Itth is reach somewhed a the pl ace t sing of ular that scarcely had the gl embarkation, than detachments from other regiments of the line approached the same spot. A recognition between the brave fellows immediately took place, and in remembrance that both corps had bled side by side in India, the band of the latter regiment struck up, as the Iraperatrice got under weigh, the well-known and universally cherished air, c, Auld Lang Syne." As the Imperatrice was relieved, with the most perfect nautical skill, from her moorings, to com mence her passage to Dublin, the heroic 80th set up a cheer. which, while it might resound on the Cheshire coast, at once displayed a devotion to the service to which both re giments were pledged, and a recognition of th e ga ll an t r y which both has displayed before the enemy. The destination of the 80th is the Cape of Good Hope, where we are as •ured they will exhibit the same prowess that in other climes has won for them imperishable honours. To both the gallant corps we heartily wish " God speed.' '
