Tau CONSERVATIVES IN OPPOSITION•—WhiIe they steadily refused to force themselves into office, Sir Robt. a constant drag upon the Their motto was, Peel and his party acted chariot-wheels of the movement " Let us have no more changes. You gave wi the Re form Bill as a final measure, and a final measure we are determined that it shall be." And no more changes did they sanction, save only in regard to institutions which appeared to them to be much less intimately connected with their own interests as an aristocracy than the present state of affairs proves them to have been. Now let us not be misunderstood. The insertion of the tenant• at-will clause into the original act was accomplished with the entire concurrence of the whole party. It seemed to afford them some counterpoise against the ten-pounders; it bid fair to give then, the comities, however weak they might be in the boroughs. But did any of the followers of Sir Robert Peel in 1833 and 1834 look the length of their noses farther? Surely not; otherwise they would have resisted to the death such a measure as the New alienated the labour- Poor law Bill, wt ing classes from t s above them, converting into bitter enemies the men who used to be the humble but devoted friends of the aristocpicy.

A manife,to HOUSE OF COMMONS Mr. CLIFTON presented a petition, signed by 12,000 of the inhabitants of North Lancashire, praying the House to continue protection to agriculture. Sir R. PEEL, explained in relation to his reply to the Noble Lord's qucstion the other night as to his answer on the subject of the reduction of the corn duties, that he could find no precedent for the Treasury sanctioning the reduction of the duty on the receipt of the reports, and that, therefore, he cis d not - it t" , juts consent ,o any reduction on the corn duties until the proposed alteration should become law ; but so convinced was he of the necessity of proceeding with the alteration on the corn laws at once that he proposed to proceed with the measure for the alteration of the corn-laws, in preference to any other public measure, and to every other alteration in the tariff, until it should become law. D'ye give it up ? In reply to Mr. M. Phillips, Sir R. PEEL siid that if the debate should be adjourned over Tuesday, there would be no alternative but to re sume the debate on Wednesday at twelve and finish it at six. The right hon. baronet also explained that neces sarily there must be an interval between the first 4nd second reading of the Corn Bill, during which he might bring forward other articles in the tariff, but thet he would proceed with the Corn Bill with all the speed that the forms of the house would permit. On the motion that the order of the day for the house resolve itself in committee being read, a host of petitions on the corn laws were presented, after which Mr. PHILIP MILES rose to move the amendment of which he had given !mice on Friday last, viz., that the house resolve itself into committee that day six months. He admitted the failure o4the potato crop in Ireland, but the oat and wheat crops were above the average, and there was no fear of a famine. If there was danger of that he would open the ports. If the pre miers opinions had undergone a change, he should have followed the example of the member for Dorsetsbire. He could not see where these changes were to lead, and if these were agreed to, greater would follow which would shake the public credit. (Hear, hear.) The honourable gentleman then proceeded to take a review of the history of our commercial policy since the accession of Sir R. Peel to office, and contended that the prosperity of the industrious classes had been owing not to the free trade measures of the government, but to the immense increase of our railway system, which had created a demand for labour, and in conse quence of which the prices of iron had risen enormously —to the cessation of war in India—and to the succession of good ha►vests, and he believed that much of that pros perity woul.l have taken place if the noble lord opposite bad been in power. He denied that the amount of exports afforded a fair ind;cation of commercial pros perity. Foreign markets were glutted with our goods. It was the home trade which afforded the finest ele ments for the calculation of the actual amount of our commercial prosperity. With regard to the corn laws, the law of 1842 had worked well ; it had secured steadiness of price, and he would not consent to its altera tion. The Right Eloitourlble Baronet had said in 1842 that 56s was a fair price for the farmer. Ele would like to know what be considered a fair price now. The Right lionou able Baronet said his proposed measure would not lower the price of wheat, what then became of the argu mutt of the cheap loaf. WEST INDIA MAIL.

ON THE PRACTICE OF " MAKING FREE " WITH A FRIEND.—We can take any freedom with a friend; we stand on no ceremony with a friend. This, taking a friendly freedom, often means taking somebody by the arm and dragging him into a desperate scrape, because we reverence him above all other men. This standing on no ceremony, frequently implies, sitting below the salt at your friends board, and being wholly overlooked in the flattering attentions lavished upon a guest whom your friend cares not ever to see again. These things daily happen "in the beaten way of friendship." Dine with a man who bad selected you from the whole world as his own; who had eyes and chose you; who plays Hamlet to your Horatio : he sits you down to a friendly dinner, and gives you his second best port—no hock—no champagne —no claret. Dine again, when lie would not fur the world you were absent, as he is desirous of entertaining an illustrious obscure whom he despises; you occupy no seat of honour, to be sure, on that occasion, but you are regaled with your friends best port, and invited to deliver verdicts upon his champagne and claret. You are com paratively certain of being well treated. when the enter tainment is.not got up on your account—a hen you play a subordinate part in the friendly comedy ; although then, if there happen to be a cold plate or a shabby bunch of grapes, you are sure of getting it, because your friend can " take the liberty with you," he knows " you don't mind it." We feel bound to be punctual and conscientious with those we are indifferent about; while we can afford, at any time, on the frostiest night, to be an hour after our appointment with the single gentleman who occupies an apartment in our heart's core. With him we can play any prank that pleases our humour. or suits our conveni ence. We can fail to visit him when be expects us, if we have to make a call upon an acquaintance ; we can leave his letter unanswered for a week, if we have notes about nothings to reply to from unrespected correspond ents. The pledge one gives him, in an after-dinner pro mise to one's wife to be home at eleven, which is rigidly observed, if nothing happens to tempt one to break faith. It may be kept, or it may not be kept. We are to be punctual—if we like.—Blancha'd'a Slceichea. CH ILDREN. —To see children as they ought to be, you roust see them in numerous covies. The real child is only to be found in a house where you can't set down a foot heedlessly without trampling on one. There they are so much in the way, that people are not allowed to forget them, and they are so many, that none of them can be spoiled by petting. Besides, children make by far the beat keepers and companions for e 'eh other. A baby in its bascitwt, trying to rtst on its feet, while propping its little hands on the rim, or reaching over to catch some thing, is enough to outwear the patience of the most pat tern nurse-maid ; but et a little creature of two or three years old, the quiet and gentle one of the family, to watch the baby, and, proud of the commission, it never tires. The baby, too, is more amenable to its tiny ceercion, when seeking to break bounds. Such a group is the only beau tiful emblem of the power that love imparts to human weakness. When the blind is imagined directing the lame, while the lame carries the blind, the picture is pain ful and humiliating ; but there is lio such alloy in the pic ture of an elf, only half emerged from babyhood, keeping baby from hurting itself while the baby supplies the place of a plaything. Or perhaps it is a gallant unbreeched boy who takes upon him the guardianshiu of a sister some twelve moons his senior. flow soon the lord of the creation" shows himself in the male. There is a mis chievous, laughing self-confidence in an urchin of two. years, that girls never attain. If any other class of intel ligent existence have it in their power to contemplate human beings, the most inexperienced among them must at once have a presentiment that in the baby boy, they behold a creature whose will is to be law to himself and others. A nursery-maid:, when children who are verging towards the transition epoch at which the child passes into the boy or girl prove unusually stubborn, sometimes threatens to leave them.. Let the experiment be tried, and it is ten to one that the culprit, if a girl, looks on while t e bonnet and shawl are being pinned, half-incredulous, half-anxious, that her younger sister is dissolved in tears, and that while baby keeps crowing utterly unconscious of what is passing, little master, with a pout on his lip and a frown on his brow, doggedly sets his back against the door to prevent egress, and says nothing. In girl-children, the intellect develops itself more rapidly than in boy-children ; but the character is much earder pronounced in the male. This may be the reason why we always find in the nursery pa:rings off, a brother and sister keeping themselves some what apart from the rest. Where there are two, one must go before; either the elder girl has not the talent of lead- thority over her by divine right. The boy takes. the lead unconsciously, and yet, as in after life, the girl has per haps more influence over him than he over her. — Tau. THE RAILWAY MOVEMENT.—No reflecting man can contemplate the prodigious magnitude of the railway en terprises in which the nation is invoived—the hundreds of millions of capital required for their completion—the character, profession, and standing. of the proprietors— ley are intended the probable traffic expected to arise, without coming to the conclusion that, in the midst of a mass of the most arrant folly and madness, there is abundant material for grave thought. The statesman whose judgment is not elouded and bewildered by personal or pecuniary interest in any of these schemes, may find ample scope for the exercise nf•hia talents. in estimating their probable effects upon the different orders of society, ie advancing the in PHENOMENA or SOUND.—In the Arctic regions per sons can converse at more than a mile distant when the thermometer is below zero. In air, sound travels from 1130 to 1142 feet per second. In water, sound passes at the rate of 4708 feet per second. Sound travels in air about 900 feet for every pulsation of a healthy person at 75 in a minute. A bell sounded under water may be heard under water at 1200 feet distant. Sounds are dis tinctat twice the distance on water that they are on land. In a balloon, the barking of dogs on the ground may be heard at an elevation of three or four miles. On Table Moun tain, a mile above Cape Town, every noise in it, and even words, may be heard distinctly. The fire of the English on landing in Egypt was plainly heard 130 miles on the sea. Dr. Jameson says, in calm weather he heard every word of a sermon at a distance of two miles. Water is a better conductor of sound than air. Wood is also a powerful conductiir of sound, and so is flannel or riband. Sound affects particles of dust in a sunbeam, cobwebs, and water in musical glasses • it shakes small pieces of paper off a string in concord. Deaf persons may converse through deal rods held between the teeth, or hell to the throat or breast. Echoes are formed by elliptical surfaces combined with surrounding surfaces, or by such of them a, fall into the respective distances of the surface of an ellipse, and are therefore directed to the other focus of the el lipse; for all the distances from both foci to such surface are equal, and hence there is a concentration of sounds at those points direct from one focus, and reflected back again from the other focus. An echo returns a monosyl lable at 71) feet distance, and another syllable for every 40 feet additional. The echo of artillery is increased or created by a cloud or clouds. Miners distinguish the sub stance bored by the sound ; and physicians distinguish the action of the heart or lungs by a listening tube. Gam blers can distinguish, in tossing money, which side is un dermost, though covered by the hand.—Hoyy's Weekly Instructor. PROGRESS or MUSIC IN ENGLAND.—The prevailing notion that music, as a science and as an art, has now reached a height fax beyond that of any former age, is a mischievous error, of which it would be well that the world were disabused. Because music has always been chang ing, it has been taken for granted that it has always been advancing ; but these changes have often been the reverse of progressive—the mere dictates of caprice and fashion, they have often substituted ignorance and frivakty for depth, learning, and earnestness. In this country, doubt less, musical accomplishment as it is called—the smatter ing, that is, which all young ladies, and many young gen tlemen, acquire from fashionable teachers, is more widely diffused than it ever was before. But it is equally certain that there were days, in the olden time, when the educated classes in England were much better instructed in music than they are now. In the days of Queen Bess, know ledge of the principles of the art, and skill in its praCtice, were so generally diffused among these classes, that any lady or gentleman who betrayed. an ignorance of it was re garded as low-bred, and unfit to make a decent figure in good company. * * The books which, " according.to custom, were brought to the table" when supper was ended, consisted of the works-of the great English and Italian madrigalists of that time—those wonderful speci mens of vocal harmony which (like the sculptures of an cient Greece) modern art has vainly attempted to imitate, and whose performance demands an extent of instruction very different from that which is included in the musical accomplishment of our day. Compare one of those old English suppers with a modern musical party. One young lady, who has had what might be a decent patrimony spent on music masters, sits down to the piano-forte. and boldly attacks the last fantasia of Thalberg ; another fa. yours the company with an entirely new ieading of Grist's favourite bravura in Donizetti's nev opera. Their efforts are lost sued the clatter of tongues ; for it generally hap pens- that music (and with such music; how can it be otherwise?) is a signal for conversation, except, peradven ture, to some unfortunate Wight, who, constraine' liteneas or some other motive, lis'ens, like Pope, With sad civility, and an aching hand. and then loads the fair exhibitor with a prolusion of com pliments,. extravagant in proportidn to their insincerity. It is not among the higher classes only that music is thus abused and converted into an actual social nuisance. Fa shion has a downward tendency : " the toe of the peasant galls the kibe of the courtier ;" and there is hardly any class of society, however humble, which doeanorattempt to emulate the modes and amusements which prevail in the gilded saloons of the great.—Daily News. SIR JAsses GRAHAM'S BITTERNESS TOWARDS HIS OPPoNuNTS.—Sir James Graham has made enemies of almost ev, because hi opposed tnem iron time Lu u nc. ILli ULM, men who are much more populur have fur many years done so more effectually. But it has been on account of the extreme virulence of his opposition. His fighting has always been a i'outrance. lie has been too prone to dis dain the courtesies of political warfare; fictions though they be. yet agreeable ones and humanising. He has always appeared to import his pas-ions into. p atty con . __ L- ` -I _ - rIFJI/ ...... 5 And yet he has , never succeeded in impressing one with the idea of his being in earnest. That would have ren dered pardonable. language otherwise too severe. His harangues while in opposition, and indeed all his party little real sympathy with the themes he is disctbssing or the views he is urging, but who has worked DEFECTIVE VENTILATION A CAWS]; OF INTEMPE RANCE.-Dr. D. B. Reid, who lied Mined his attention to this topic, informs us that " defective ventilation re ducing the power of oxygena'ing the blood and sustaining the temperature, produces a morbid condition, which di minishes the relish for, and power of digesting plain food: unnatural stimuli, such as ardent spirits, are required to excite the languid circulation." In consonance with this opinion, we find many lamentable facts. A visit to some of the larger workshops in London and some of the ma nufacturing towns, would instantly lessen our wonder at the dissipated habits of the men, and explain the reason why certain classes of operatives are more intemperate than others. The pent up and polluted air, exhausted of all moisture, or floating with particles of dust, has a de pressing effect on the nervous energies of the men, and proves an almost irresistible provocative to the use of ar dent spirits and o' her strong drinks. At the risk of being somewhat personal, and that we may not be suspected of dealing in vague generalities, we condescend on two classes' of tradesmen, who, on inquiry, were found to be more dissipated than others from this very cause—we mean flax dressers and tailors. Of the former we can testify from our own observation, that, while there are many honour able exceptions, as a class t tey are the most addicted to intemperance of any in those districts where flax-spinning is prevalent. Yet they have no worse example and no greater temptations before them than other operatives ; but then they live in an atmosphere both dry and dusty— literally loaded with particles of flax. Let this evil be re medied or removed, and we are persuaded the craving for stimulants would be greatly diminished. With respect to tailors as a class, we submit the following extracts from the Report on the Sanatory Condition of the Labouring Population :—Thomas Brownlow worked eight years at Messrs. Allen's, Old Bond-street, London. There were from eighty to a hundred men in a room sixteen yards long and eight yards wide, close together, nearly knee to knee. The heat was twenty degrees higher than outside. The heat and smell were intolerable. I have known young men faint away. It had a very depressing effect on the energies. Many could not stay out the hours. The na tural direct of the depression was that we had recourse to drink as a stimulant. Gin was the first thing used in the morning at seven o'clock, an hour after beginning work . Gin and beer at eleven o'clock ! Beer and gin at three o'clock ; and' gin and beer at five o'clock !—five times in one day ! Tri answer to the query—" After work was• there any drinking r' the same person says, "Yes; nearly all the young men went to the public-house, and some of the others.' Here, then, was literally a hot-house for rearing drunkards Other facts and statistics in aburs dance are at hand to prove that the same tradesmen in rural districts working by themselves, or only two or three' together, in cooler places, are not specially addicted to drinking.—Hoggis Weekly instructor. _ SUMMARY OF TIM CIIMLACTER OF LORD BACON.— Patted on the head by Queen Elizabetb—mocking the worshippers of Aristotle at Cambridge—catching the first glimpses of his great discoveries, and yet uncertain whe ther the light was from heaven—associating with the learned and gay at the Court of France—devoting himself Bracton and the Year Books in.

SIR JAVOS GRAHAM AS A RADICAL AND AS A CON sERVATIVE MINISTER. - Sir James Graham has always been equal to his position. Various as have been the parts he has played in the political drama of his time, be rst actors rising naturally to t b ,, rometer of his political position. On whichever side of politics they were made,.t hey have always been marked by great aptitude, readiness, tact, vigour, and ower. /NI I , I I, bßen Except Lord Druu 6 ...... perhaps, the most actively militant r When he was down he attacked most; now he is in power, he wages perp,„ those who are out. Whether attacking institutions or "ending them, however, he has shewn equal ability and 'Ae was a his day hose who I war with determination to conquer at all h,ixards. When h.. radical, or at least so very ultra a whig that the steady ones of the party were almost ashamed or at least afraid of him, he was so thoroughly uncompron.ising in his de nunciations, that Mr. Duncombe; whom be is now nightly striving to extinguish with all the awful terrors of law and order, would have been by his side but a mere wretched shadow of a demagogue. In fact, we have no such radi-. cats now as Sir James was then. They are all fat, jocular men, growing wealthy upon coronerships, and suchlike abominations; or blasi dandies : in search of an excite ment. Some of the speeches of Sir James Graham, whe ther in parliament, at the hustings, or at public meetings, at the time referred to, would in the present day be ac counte.; almost too bold for the most determined aspirant for the honours of political martyrdom. For they. were unredeemed by the philosophy of liberalism : they had not even the dignity and tone of chartism. They. were sittple, unadulterated, partisan speeches, made to serve a purpose, and forgotten as soon' as uttered. But about their talent.there was no mistake. It was not that they were distinguished for high eloquence, but for power and downright hard hitting. They gave the speaker a claim on the rising party of the time; and in a few years the quasi-demagogue shot up into a minister. And a capital minister he made. His most determined enemies do not deny this. Whatever may be thought of Si: James Gra ham as a politician, no one hesitates to admit that he is one of the best administrative officers this country has for many years produced. The same talent, the tact and aptitude, which had made him so clever an assailant of the former government, rendered him immediately fit for office. He was here, as before, equal to his position. As a speaker on behalf of the government, too. he proved himself a most valuable ally,—turning the flank of his quondam radical associates with provoking skill and un. erring precision. But the prior claims of those who were already designated as the successors to the chief posts in the whig party still kept Sir James in the background, and forbade the hope of his taking that distinguished po sition for which his talents and ambition alike indicated him. The reorganisation of the party at that time, and their adoption of a policy of dangerous progress, afforded an opportunity for a change; and accordingly, in a very short time we find Sir James Graham (after a short time spent 'in a chrysalis state) a full' blown conservative., Here, again, he was fully equal to his position ; and as it was during the long and glorious struggle of the conser vative opposition headed by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stan ley, and Sir James Graham, that the latter made his best speeches, a better opportunity cannot be taken to treat of his peculiarities as an orator—which was the part he then laid himself out to fill—before attempting to describe him as be now is in his new character of -repressor-general of the insubordinates in the House of Commons, or " crusher"-in• chief to the ministry.--" Contemporary Orators," in Fraser'e Magasine, in order the more effectually to gratify politicalvindic tiveness, or advance personal ambition, by obtaining the applause of audiences willing to be misled under cover of or teal, some of the speeches here more particularly re ferred to—and to which, it must be added, no one could listen without'being struck with admiration at their bold ness, skill, and sustained energy—were scarcely recon cilable with that liberal and charitable interprtation of the motives of opponents, which is one of the first duties of nubile men to eaeh other. Nor has SirJatnes Graham, while conducting his combats in this spirit, been at all choice in the weapons he used. Any missive that came to hand was hurled indiscriminately at the foe. No epi- thet, however heavy its imputation (always, of con! saving that it is parliamentary); no taunt. however bitter whether to individuals, to p►rties, to opinions, or even, to whole nations; no general charge, however grave at against the pol , cy of a party, or however damnatory of the motives of his opponents in their coun cils or their conduct ; and, fin3liy, no manoeuvre that could by any stretch of license be accounted not incon sistent wita parlia,nentary honour, even to ti►e extent of or exaspera statements of oppon i4tions or withholdings of justi ieatory matter ;. no such expedient, however free public discussion, by which a temporary could be won, or a rival for the hour put down, rejected by Sir. James Graham from any delicacy of tem perament ; or from any high and fastidious sense of ho nnnr enoll au rains unme men from arasoinc . .the vie- was ever • mg which is the Englishman's boast, and which is covertly the guiding principle in nil the debates in partial " Cont(mpurary Orators," in Fraser's lilaaazine E WAR BETWEEN ORIGIN AND PROGRESS BUENOS AaraDs AND MONTE VlDEo. — General Rivera was the first President of the Banda Oriental. He was eketed in 183.1, after the Orientates had got rid of the Buenos Atrean and Brazilian armies. His terms of office expired in 1835, and by his influence one of his offi cers, D. M, Oribe. was elect d his succe.oor. Rivera had been no friend to Rosa.=, President of Buenas Ayres. He had refused in 1831 to deliver up such of the Unita rians as had sought refuge in Monte Video. Oribe, on the contrary, nut only pro4mibed those men at the re quest of Rbsas, but formed a plan for destroying the in dependence of his country by annexing to it the Argen tine Confederation. This was in 1836:. The naiional party took the alarm, and Rivera. whom Oribe had at- itt-Chief;. punting himself bt the head at.those disaffected to the government, obtained pos s ession. of the whole country, except the lower towns of Monte Video and Paysandie, to both of which he laid' seine about the months. of August and September, 1838. Soon after which. being accepted by the congress, he retired into private life in Buenos Ayres. Rivera, was elected Pre sident in 1839; Orihe in the m- antima , having protested formally against the validity of his.. act of abdication Unhappily, the ne w Pre,i - dent wits persuaded by the French, then blockading Buenos, to declare war against Roses, under pretence that he hid abetted the intrigues of Oahe ; hut in 1810, when tblt great power adjusted its qwirrel, " nothing was done about the auxiliary war &Jared by ara , nq, who was thus left to his own re sources and the effects of the folly which till French had all but forced him to commit:'' Oribe thenceforward entered the service of General Rosas, as,isting him i.O all , . Ur-agues republic, although ha wears the Buenos Arean badge. of servitude, a portrait. , of General Rosas, stitched on his coat, on a red merino ground, surrounded by a motto, " Death to the savages Uriitarianos." This is also inscribed on the flag of the despot; which once, and we hope once only, at the hoesa of a British minister, min-. OA its folds with those of the banner of St. George: Without this portrait, and this device no person in the dominions of Rosas may enter a church, establish, a. school, fill any public office, or serve in the army. Even the Uraguay officers who have joined Oribe must tarnish their honour by wearing it, or pay for the forfeit of their lives. Oribe. then, :as Rosa's general, entered the Banda Oriental; and of the horrors of that warfare General O'Brien enables us to judge. He says. "At the time that Oribe invaded, the Banda Oriental with the army and the Masorca commissionets of Rosas, I was then residing on my estate in the country. 1 am aware of wretches being staked into the ground forty eight hours before their heads were sawed, not cut o8'; of the lasso being flung over person's necks, and then dragged by a horse at full speed, until life became extinct ; of spikes being driven into the mouths of human beings, and they, whilst living, thus nailed to trees !" After various fortunes of war, Rivera, in 1842. addressed a note to the govern ment of Roses, requiring him to abstain from marching a fresh army into the Oriental territory. The Monte Videans at this took heart, strengthened their defences, enrolled their citizens, liberated and armed their slaves, and prepared to resist the land and naval forces already investing their city. But Rosas paid not the smallest at. tention to the requirements of the representatives of Britain. His troops marched on as before, and Mr. Van deville, fearful of having already exceeded his instruc tions, did not even lift up his voice in protest against this insult to his Sovereign. Not so Commodore Purvis, who, in the Alfred Frigate, had come from Rio Janeiro to support, if need were, the representations of diplo macy, by a show of British guns. Thus have matters re mained up to the present year, when the British, and French goveruments, undertaking at all risks to restore the blessings of peace to the Banda Oriental, have sent troops to compel the bands of Rosas to retire. This at .their bidding he is unwilling to do, preferring to trust to the natural defences of his country in the event of hos tilities with the two great powers.— WWI Magosine, clear, to decide azainst t. nose money he had pocketed, but stifling the misgivings of conscience by the splendour and flatte7y which he now commanded—struck to the earth by the discovery of his corruption—taking to he party w , sußtenanc , the charges brought against him, and abjectly imploring mercy—nobly rallying from hi; disgrace, and engaging in new literary underialcires, which have added t ) the splen dour of his name—still' exhibiting a Ouch of his-ancient vanity, and, in the midst of pecuniary embarrassment,:, refusing to he " stripped Lives of Chaiteellor;-, reathers lirnpbe STATIONS OF* THE BRITISH ARMY, ON TIM I&1 FEBRUARY, 1846 [Where two places are mentioned, the last-named ia% that• at which the Depiit , of the Regiment is stationed:4' Ist LiteGuarcLg—Hyde Park h—Bengal; Dover 2nd Ditto—Winc Royal H.Guards Ist Dragn Gds ttgntzs* Park.l42, —Exetea.• -Dubfin: - Malta ; Isle of Wight.
