- CORRESPONDENCE. [We d* not hold ourseke; responsible fir the .pinions of OW correspondents.] THE FkatitlES. TO THE EDITOR. OF TUB NOWT( . ititN_ DAILY TIMES , Srot„, everyona•vannltpd, with, the ,c }wall ire 8416, of th 6 3'l 4rse - , - is anxiously mtertsted in safe and com paratively (Flick transit, during the fog•gy weather, I venture to submit, through - you, 'the foiloti;ing sugges tions, trustiog that theiradoption may prove instrumental during such seasons, in restoring the ferry traffic to somewhat of its accustomed regularity. The vexed question of management, good or ill, I leave to others, though en passant I may remark that I cannot agree with those who find fault with it, feeling convinced that the most cautious arrangements, so far as they have gone, have been effected. • I•would suggest that two or more small steamers be moored in the river (during foggy weather) in the "fairway" between Liverpool Landing-stage and Wood side-ferry slip, at equal distances across—a bell or gong on board'eaeh, to be kept constantly tolling; also the' bells.at the above-named,. landing places, 'thus giving the ferry boats sufficient :and Progressive indication of theirwhercabouts, which would enable them to make a c greet " landfall" at both sides. Tho small steamers, by proceeding to their respective stations, at " top " of high and.at .‘ dead" low water, would, with the aid pf a compass, be enabled to arrive at and take up their 'proper 'positions in the river, nearly,irrespective of tidal influences. The same, plan migielbe adopted for the Egremont-ferry. If all were thus carried out, the Woodside,Tranmere, and Rockferry boats might ply to Woodside, and the SeaCombe and Egremont boats to Egremont, as being C:ntral positicins. The expense of the steamer moored in the'river might be defrayed by a trifling additional toll on each passenger. Who-would refase it? I merely throw out these hints for the consideration of those interested, with the hope that, if found feasible, or capable of improvement, they may be ac t e d on , an d thus save great anxiety to the numerous families residing at either side of the water.-4 am, &c., R. W. R. VESTRY MEETING AT TOXTETH-PARK. Au. adjourned vestry meeting, was, held yesterday morning in the public offices, Park-place ' Mr. H. Hal-. head in the chair. Messrs. John Wilson. Alexander Miller, A. Pickup, overseers, were also present, with "Messrs. Joseph Harrison, M. A. Johns, H. S. Alpass, Joseph. Boult, and William Baynes. Vie minutes of the last meeting were read. 'The CHAIRMAN said he had written to the local board of directors with a view to carrying out the object of the meeting, namely, the establishing of a passenger station ' 'Within the township, and requesting them to state when it would be convenient for them.to receive a deputation. He had not, as yet, got an answer to that letter. He sent-on'Thursday to the Lime-street`station, and received the information that the London and North-Western local beard met on the first Tuesday of the month, and that• was all that he knew of the matter.. He thought it would be well if some_gentlemen called upon members of the local board, for they all knew that official gentle men-did not like to take upon themselves to give ^any reply without the approvaL of the board.- Mr. HARRISON thought the best course they could pursue would be to memorialise the Maiquis of Chandos to bring the matter before the board at once. He be- lieved if they , did not' take theAfirst opportunity, they should lose a month or six weeks before they could get to the London board.' Mr. JOHN WILSON was of opinion that if a respect able note was addressed to the local board, it would have a salutary effect. Mr. ALEXANDER MILL - gil, said the circumstances were somewhat discouraging, but he did not think they ought to despond. Theis request was not unreasonable, and he could not think the directors were at' all likely to suppose the township ,should be fastidious. The com pany might have some idea as, to what was wanted, but the township must bear in mind the directors were gentlemen selected for their known sagacity and business , capabilities, and it would be tot) pinch, therefore, to expeci them to •do voluntarily more, than they were either compelled by contract or than they conceived to be in accordance with tile' interests of the company.' Perhaps they had an idea that the inhabitants of Toxteth-park would display no more zeal or vigilance than they had shown on former occasions, but he trusted they would be able to show them that it would be to their mutual interest to. open 'a direct. traffic with a township num berisig 80,000 inhabitants. When this was done—and he had every confidence it would be' assisted by the chair man and the members for Toxteth—it would be found not only expedient but necessary to have a dock or docks at the south end. If they succeeded in this, he, for one, had no objections to adopt the principle of their neighbours at the north end, and christen it after the name of the' most zealous advocate' and pi* motet: of it. A most admirable adjunct they might have,, too, in the, forni of a landing-stage, and if the chairman exerted himself and obtained this for them, they would call it—as it might require more than ordinary tact and wit' to procure it—the " lialhead Landing-stage." (Hear, hear.) They were determined to agitate until they got their legitimate share of the im provements to which they so liberally contributed. They would raise their voices until they re-echoed within the arena of the Council-chamber amongst their senators there assembled. (Hear, hear.) The CRAIILMAN said that Mr. Miller should bear in mind that - the dock had been already purchased.. Mr.: Balms thought that no time should. be lost, and moved that a memorial should be prepared for signa ture id , the Chairman of Directors of the London and North'Western Railway Company of the London Board, and'that a deputation wait on the local board of diree tors ' '''tecOpy' of the resolution being' previously sent t o the board. After some further conversation the meeting was adjourned sine die. LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES. NISI PRIUS COURT.YESTERDAY. (Before Mr, JUSTICE WILLES.) WARD AND ANOTHER. 4'. NAPIEHL—This WAS a cross action, in which the owners of . the Sea King sought to recover compensation from Mr. Napier,• owner of the , Lion, for an injury occasioned to the former vessel through carelessness on the part of the officers of the latter. Mr. Pickering, 'Q.C., and Mr. Holland were counsel for the plaintiff ; and -Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Raffles represented the defendants: It- appears that on the 11th of July . last, • the ; Sea. King left the -Great Landing-stage. for .Rhyl,:.the defendant's. boat having started a short time before'her. The Sea King being the faster boat, arrived first it. Rhyl; . and as the river was too shallow. to .aduzik.of. her Janding at the usual place, she proceeded .tot .beaeh. near the .mouth of the river.

His 'lordship remarked that it was much to be deplored there was so much animosity between the two owners. At• the last assizes he tried an action between the same parties; and there had also been two cases during the present.

CHARGE OF. HOUSEBREAKING.—JOIIII Hamlet was biought up on the charge of forcing open a yard belonging. to Mr. Chapman, 147, Brownlow-hill, about three o'clock in the morning. Police officer 755 said-. he found the door of the yard open, and ~the prisoner within. He had a pair of skeleton keys in one hand, ati old rusty knife, in the other, and a bag over his shoulder. The prisoner was committed for three months with hard labour. Gn.prza.m. SWINDLING.—A young man, of rather a reppectable appearance, named William Dutton, was brought up charged with obtaining money on false pietences. It appears that since- the mo n th o f J u l y l ast ho has been in the habit of personating a commercial traveller, in employ of Messrs. Bellairs and Co. In this capacity he wrote to several parties, intimating that he would wait, upon them in the course of a few days for papnent of their accounts. He had thus obtained £27 4s. 111 Julyjle yrote• to Messrs. Henry and Co., of Man; el ter, from whom he received £6 4s. ; to Messrs. D4carte, ,of Manchester, from whom he received £5 ; to Messrs. B. Hick and Son, Bolton, from whom he received £5,; to Messrs. Platt Brothers, of Oldham, &Om whom lie received £6 ; and to Messrs. Nasmyth and Co. ' of Patricroft, from whom he received £5. None of these parties being in attendance, the prisoner was remanded till Weduesday next. A CORN AND SAND MERCHANT.—Thomas Swainson was brought up on the charge of making false sales, and obtaining money in advance of the delivery of the article. His first transaction of this nature was with . Mr. Thomas Brown, flour dealer, to whom he sold a quantity of oats, deicribing himself as a farmer residing at Bold. He received 4s. from Mr. Brown, who never saw him or the oafs till he was apprehended on Thursday. He next went to ,Mr. Edward Jones, beerseller, Fairfield, to whom he sold several loads of sand, and obtained Is. 6d. in ad vance. The prisoner was committed for trial. Tun ROBBERY AT HYAM's.— James McCabe, the, porter lately in , the employ of Mr. Hyam, Lord-street, who was brought up last Friday on the charge of stealing a quantity of new clothes, was again brought up on remand, and committed for trial. (Before Messrs. F. Snsso, and S G. Ramtnorrn.) ri/BLICANS' CASES. Hugh McQueen, publican, Parliament-street, was sammoned for Sunday trading. In,cross examination by Mr. Black, who appeared for the defence, the officer said, that a woman who pur chased liquor at the defendant's house told him th.at it was required by a sick person. Mr. Bluck said also that the ale was not paid for. A fine of ten shilling and costs was inflicted. Patrick Drum, publican, Peter's-lane, was charged with Sunday trading. In defence, it was stated the young girl to whom the liquor was supplied, alleged that her mother was ill. A fine of 10s.. and costs was inflicted.—George Hill, publican, St. James-place, was summoned for'having sold liquor on Sunday, morning. An officer said that last Sunday morning he visited - the defendant's:house, and fciundieven men and two women. Four of the men and the landlord'were' 'drunk, and there waS a lug on the table and several glasses containing ale. The officers having told the landlord that it was their intention to lay- r an information, left the house, and . were foll Owed into the street by the landlord, wha offered them drink if they would not inform. The de fendant alleged -that the parties_ inside were relatiOris from the country, and as fotir of them, two sisters and than. husbands, were going away the next morning, he dici not think there was any harm in entertaining them. He denied that either himself, or any of the others, was drimk. He Was fined 20s. and: costs. Robert Watt, publican, Sea-brow, was 'summoned for Sunday trading. An officer said that, at'- one ;.o'clock,. on Sunday morning.laut. he saw a woman gO into the de fendant's front door ; and, on going inside, found two men with two glasses, one containing whisky and the other ale. Tfie defence was that ona of the men was a lodger and the other a boatman living at Birkenhead who was unable to get across on account of the fog. The sale to these men was -admitted, and a fine of 10s. and costs was inflicted. Cw.s. = The following- beersellers were summoned for breach of the regulations, and were fined in the,, penalties annexed : Edward Robinson, Edward-street, Park, ss. and costs.—James Bruton, Stewart-Street, ss. and costs.—Wm.

The defendantsaidthewomanhed come from . his door, - but he denied that she was supplied with ale in his house. Hic servant would prove that, and the old woman who was, alleged to have been supplied with beer was there to deny that statement: The old won*, on being called, stated that what ' she had in the can was not ale, but a pennyworth, of milk, which the officers spilled themselves in endeavouring to take it, from her, besides nearly knocking her down. Slie had been selling milk in that neighbourhood for nearly fourteen years; and when she was seized by the officers she thought they were "roughs," as they were not then in, uniform. Mr. Wyburgh'i - Do you say the officers knocked you . down ? Witness- T Tfipy nearly knocked ma down, and here is the can which they broke in two. The servant having beeen called to , show that no drink was supplied ; the case was dis,ipi p sed ii `, MOses Cavanagh, beerseller, Harley-street, was, siim- • moned for :permitting drunkenness, and on another information, for Sunday jelling. Mr. Cobb appeared for the defence. OffiCers 450 and 203 said, that they visited the defendant's house on SundaY morning, and ;mind five men and one woman, and' there - was a jug on the table which contained some fresh-drawn ale. rwo of the snell were drunk. In reply to Mr. Cobb, Officer 450 jaid he poncliided that the men were drunk, because as . , soon ,o>t they entered, they commenced to curse him ; and he denied -that, he had used a woman who was there roughly. Mr. Cobb- said. that the,woman, was a neighbour, who had come there to nurse a. dying child ; one of the men was a, lodger, and the other four had come to see him, but no ale was served:.

SToitriCe: Tairtatt.—This was an action to recover the sum of £l2 10s. for eXpenses laid out in the fixtures of a house in Waterloo, and the erection of a 'shed or cow-house in the yard, which the plaintiff had rented from the defendant, in the years 1858 and 1859, at the sum of £4O per annum. A mutual agreement had been entered into between the parties, that, on the plaintiff leaving the house, the fixtures should not be touched, but that another arrangement should be entered upon. Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr, Thornley for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff gave up possession some months ago, and a new tenant having taken the premises, the plaintiff - some time after went to him, and asked to be paid the ex penses of the fixtures. These he refused to pay, and would not permit them to be removed without the - con sent of the landlord. On the plaintiff making uppli cation to the landlord,' he refused either to permit the fixtures to be removed, or to pay the ' expense the plaintiff had put himself to. The defence set Up was, that the plaintiff had made the improvements referred to for his own comfort and convenience, 'and without any 'Consultation whatever with the landlord. The defendant also averred that the fixtures had been put up at the .plaintiff's sole risk; also, that he never made a personal demand for the expense incurred from the defendant. His Honour, after hearing Mr. Gray and Mr. Thornley, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £l2 25., to be reduced to one farthing . damages if the property sought to be re covered were given up in a week: WARRANTY CASE.—MERCER 'V. ATKINSON. —The plaintiff was a hotel keeper at Southport, and the defen dant a veterinary surgeon, who keeps a repository in Seel street. The action was brought to recover the sum of £l4 15s. 6d:, for damage and loss sustained in the pur chase of a Chesnut mare, on the 29th of August last. Mr. Dodd appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.- Cobb -for defendant. The pleas put in by the plaintiff were— that he had_ purchased a certain horse from the defendant, which was unsound at the time of sale whereby the plaintiff had sustained damages to th e above amount. The, plaintiff stated that -he resided in Chapel-street, Southport, where he kept a hotel, and also had ears for hire. He had received -a letter from the defendant stating that he had a horse which would suit him, whereupon he came to Liverpool, and having seen the mare in question said it was not the kind he wanted, and that he would prefer a grey to match one - that he already had for carriage work. This was on the' 28th of August, and he did not buy the horse on that day, but the day following. The purchase was principally owing to the strong recommendation of the plaintiff that she was perfectly sound and steady in harness. The result was, the , horse was.bought and, sent by train to South- - port, but on its arrival there it exhibited symptoms of unsoundness. The plaintiff acquainted the defendant with the circumstance, who sent his son out twice to prescribe for the animal, but not returning again the mare was sent back on the sth of September to the de fendant, and ultimately she died. The defence set up was, that the animal had caught a cold in the train after being brought out' of a warm stable, where it had been accustomed, to warm covering and a comfortable stall ; and that it was put up in a cold, unhealthy stable ; also, that no written warranty had been given to the' plaintiff- when purchasing it. Mr, Cobb produced witnesses to prove these averments, which were flatly denied by the plaintiff. His Honour, after' hearing Mr. Cobbittheme length; directed a nonsuit. RECREATION FOR 'COUNTRY PARISHES. - The Rev. Francis Trench, rector of Islip, writes to the , Times, giving some particulars about a brass band established in his parish. The proposal to form it originated4ith. some young men of the pariah, shortly after his appointmentto the living three years ago. After consideration and inquiry, he determined to sanction it, and subscriptions were raised for the purchase of instru ments, costing something under £4O, to be the property of the rector and churchwardens for the time,being. "A rule was made that they should not be taken into any pilklic-house or similar place." The young men made a hw rules • among themselves on regularity of attend ance, and, fOr the prohibition of inking, smoking ; swearing, calling nicknames, or the use of any indecent or otherwise, improper language. Practice was im mediately commenced in my rectory barn, which I lent for the purpose, and has been regularly continued ever since three times a week in the evening. A teacher of music has come over once a week by train to instruct the menat the .charge of ss. a lesson. and his fase. The musicians defray this cost themselves by a payment of 6d a week each ; and' they have arrived now ,at , such a proficieney as to be able to play at sight, and are well' acquainted with a • Very large n,um, ber of tunes. All who. ,bear them express their ° oTati-_ fication at the , performances, and consider- that, • for the time, their attainments are worthy Of all com mendation. lam well aware that no endeavour of this kind can be so conducted as to be .free'from all tempts-, tions. Is it not so with reading even, or with any social recreation whatsoever ? Nor must we expect music to accomplish that which nothing but the grace of God and religion in a man's heart. can achieve. Still I consider (and I may speak from experience) that the .measure has been of a very improviiN and salutary nattire ; and there has been very little indeed .to give me any pain as a Minister, compared with that of a contrary descrip tion. Not only from my own close and anxious obser vation, blit 'also 'from the general testimony of the_ .inhabitants of the parish, and specially from that of the families of the musicians, T "am led to believe that the J:ffects. have been good in regard to the character and habits of the`Mett *ho form the band. Many of theni; kin addition to their musioal• prictice, come once a week. ,t e• the Rectory, for readings eonducted by the clergyman's wife,;•;iii4l . knOW' that the music, new established in our parish, has given much innocent pleasure to the parishioners at large, who have now constant oppor tunities of hearing music, of which I can only say that I myself enjoy it as belch as they do. One of the last sayings on this topic was that addressed to ''me by a member of the band, People don't 'know how, much good it has dent, US.'

SIR G. GREY ON THE COLONIAL SYSTEM I OF ENGLAND. I On Wednesday evening, a complimentary dinner was I given to Sir George Grey, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, at the Louden Tavern, where about 120 gentle= men,. either former reaidonts, or commercially in terested in the colony, assembled to greet him. Sir. George, in responding to the toast of his health, com batted the theory that the colonies, instead of being a profit to Great Britain, were an actual encumbrance and disadvantage to her. He could not comprehend the grounds of such an opinion. As for taxation, it was suite true that the ;manufacturing people of Great Britain did in the first instance pay the taxes which supported our army and navy ; but that taxation was put= on the price of the commodities which the colonists consumed. He believed that every individual colonist and the-bar- ' barian nations, of the, interior annually contributed a large sum to the support of the armies and navies of Great Britain. Not a blanket, not a saddle, not a pick-, axe or an iron pot could they buy without paying such imperial taxation; this was an undoubted fact. He had heard it said that whether or not these countries were dependencies of the crown of Great Britain, their inhabitants would equally purchase the articles we manufactured. But he would answer that experience showed this idea to be fallacious, and many of the merchants.he saw present might bear bim out. When first we assumed the colony of the' Cape of Good Hope from Holland a very large amount of Dutch and. German goods was consumed there : but since then English tastes and fashioni.had been introduced; and at present no sale could be obtained there for Dutch or German commodities, but all the imports came from England. He could go further, and say that, if those young countries did not belong to Great Britain, they, would belong to some other 'European power, and then the trade would be restricted, and British manu factures could- not_ be :exported. thither. What-trade had we now with the Dutch or French dependenCies ? As for their situation in time of war, he would remark.that before the volunteer corps began - to be formed in this country the colonies formed them, although they feared no invasion ; for so long as a British force commanded the seas, no- foreign force could get into the country. The colohists would ask no protection from this coantry except that' of the -navy. which was required for our commerce. If we had 'no colonies, we should not require. one ship the lesa .to. protect - our trade. = But having, the colonies, our fleets,- when engaged in distant operations anywhere on the globe, had harbours, and supplies, and a hearty welcome ready forthem while the fleets of a hostile power could enter none of those ports without having to fight. for it.. He liad=been much struck with one fact he witnessed during the CriMeari war. The moment 'it was known that Qiieen Victoria desired a collection to be made for the sufferers in our army, the people of every race in South Africa came forward, to contribute to it. Nuniberi of poor Fingoei, quite poor men in the villages of that barbarian race, at once gave their penny a piece, and Fingoe women came with their baskets of produce on their heads; they were disappointed when they found it' could not be taken, and then they, went about the villages to Sell it for what they could; and brought the money. Even in the republics beyond our borders, the very men we:had cast off sent their subscriptions, which were_not inconsider able for their numbers and their means. He ;was, there fore, convinced that our colonies were not a disadvantage to us. In the year 1819 or 182 Q, a body of settlers =was ' sent out from this Country to the Cape of Good Hope, and great complaints had been made' that, that emigra tion cost £50,000;_ but he was quite satisfied that those very settlers and their relatives had sent back more than .£50,000 to England in the purchase of Pritisb. goods. Homes, had been found there, for thousands, and many had acquired wealth ;. au immenso,quantity.of wool was grown =for our manufactures, and a great number of our ships, employed in the- cairiap. There ,were persons now in the colony who went, oup in 1819, and.more than one of whom could' repay that sum of £50,600 out of his own pocket,. without making-himself a pow: an. • THE DOG THAT HAS HAD HIS DAY.—Under t his title Mr. Westerton, of Hyde Park-corner, has published a cartoon, in which is depicted the French Eagle carrying away,across the Channel Punch's unfortunate and used? up dog Toby,, who-carries in his fore paws a number of Punalt;, While Punch,himself..apPears #ying through the air in pursuit.

THE TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT AT SAN JUAN ISLAND.—The following is the proposition submitted by General Scott to Governor Douglas for the joint occupa tion of the island of .San Yuan,:—"lcrithoutpiejudice to the claim of either nation to the sovereignty of the entire island of San Juan, now in dispute, it is proposed that each Shall occupy a separate portion of the same by a detachment of infantry, riflemen, or marines, not exceeding 100 men, With their appropriate ,arms, only for the equal protec tion of their respective; countrymen on the said island in their persons and property, S and to repol any descent 'on the part of hostile Indians." General:. Scott added in his note that any addition .or modification suggested. by Governor Douglas would meet with respectful con sideration. Lieutenant-Colonel Lay returned with the following reply : " Memorandum. His Excellency Governor Douglas authorises me to say, having yet no time to consider the preposition offered by Lieutenant General s Scott, or to consult with his official advisers here, he is at a glance satisfied that no obitaele exists to a completely amicable and satisfactory adjustment, continuing throughont the - period of diploMatic dis cussion respepting the title of the island of San Juan, 'either' iiPon itherlAan ' iuggested by, 'General coat, ,or some other • that Maybe mutually agreed to after, ad= visement."

PUBLIC - MEN ON THE NATIONAL • DEFENCES. SIR JOAN PAICINGTON. A putdic meeting was held at Droitwich on Monday, to establish a rifle corps. Sir John Pakingtoh, •in moving a resolution, said— With regard to the probabilities of a French invasion, if there was anything like a panic in England on the subject, which he must confess he could hardly believe. —if there was a feeling of alarm in the minds of the people of England generally—he would say that he for one did not share in it. In the first place, they must recollect that of all the modes of warfare, one of the most difficult, one of thnmost arduous, one of the most dan gerous, was the attempt to invade the territory of a great Power.* (Hear.) They would remember in the history of the Great Napoleon, that it was perfectly true that he Subdued the German Powers by his vast and highly disciplined army, and that he overran Italy, and at that period of his history he acquired a degree of power which he might truly .lay no other European monarch ever possessed. But when he extended his attempts to Spain and Russia he signally failed, and the attempt to invade.a great territorial power recoiled upon himself,- and entailed- ruin upon him. (Hear, hear.) Now, to invade England troops would have to be conveyed across the Channel, and the naval force of Great Britain must be defeated before the country could be invaded by a foe. (Hear, hear,) He was aware that the introduction of steam into the navy had made a great change, and perhaps had increased the possibility of inrasion, but he for one did not contemplate, unless an overwhelming force was brong,ht td bear upon this country,' the possibility of our sustaining a defeat in the Channel. (Cheers.) He confessed, therefore, that he was not one who contemplated in vasion as a probability. But although we were still on friendly terms with France, and although he for one did not feel distrust in the personal intentions of the Em peror•towards this country, nevertheless he thought that the state of public affairs on the Continent was such as to make it desirable to foster this movement. (Hear, hear.) Aere could be no doubt that we had fallen into a state of false security daring the long 'peace we had enjoyed. There was no country in the world, tad great I empire in the world, in which it was so essential that the means of national defence, and the means of carrying' on war, should be greater than in ours on account of the extent of- our empire, it being spread over the four quarters of the world; and on account' of the geographical smallness of the great centre of the .empire—England. (Loud applause.) In addition to all these considerations, it was impossible to deny that the present state of Europe warned us that we could not with prudence allow the state of things which had prevailed' to continue, It was true- that there had been occasions within the /est two or three years in, Which' our friendly relations with France had been in danger, and in the present extremely complicated state of European affairs, it was impossible to say how soon again our-alliance might be endangered, and there fore they were bound to be prepared for all contin gencies. He wanted "Europe - to see that we were pre pared for ,all contingencies—that our navy wan strong,' and our, people loyal and united; and on th a t groun d he was very !inxiois fOr the success of'thin movement. , ~i;.. . EARL STAI4HOPE: Earl Stanhope was one of the speakers at a meeting at Sevenoaks on Friday. He said •—I would in no degree trace the necessity of a more extended system of national defence to any recent feelings, or any recent events. I ascribe it entirely to the complete change which has been produced in the system of warfare by the introduction of steam navigation. For my own part I am not . one of those who apprehend an invasion of this country. lam persuaded - that in neighliouring countries the advantage of a friendly underitanding with this country is felt and appreciated as it ought to be. But does this in any degree 'prove that we ought to provide against it, if in future , times such necessities should arise ? And this is one important advantage) which I anticipate from the present Moment ;. having once &lie what is necessary for our systematic defence, having provided such a national force that, if any desire for invasion did exist, it would pass away, having taken these precautions, any irritating language that may have been used ought to be passed over; and having . done what is- necessary for our defence we should then look upon, all these apprehensions as no longer by any pos sibility existing, and apply ourselves to those many very peaceful arts and subjects of public policy thatelaimour attention. (Applaule.) ADMIRAL SARTORIUS: Admiral Sartorious has just published a scheme of national defence as follows : 7 --" No considerable landing could be effected on, our southern ceasta.if opposed by field batteries of 80- or 100 Armstrong'l"!fie!tyy guns, supported by '5,000 or 6,000 goo& /AM*: 12,ail and train roads along the coasts, telegraphic,wires, a few ' watch towers - on -commanding heights; some dozen rapid. steamers' to watch. and communicate the idirection of the enemy's movements, frequent stations.: of Armstrong's (runs, arranged' so as to effect easy and' ; t, ' rapid concentration on threatened points, aecompaiiying• I the movements. of the enemy's convoy or fleet, 'would as effectually ,secure the southern coasts of England (even were the attempt made in a' fog, or at night) as if we had fifty sail of the line in the phannel, a vital point to prevent an enemy, landing, except to I give themselves up as prisoners, to escape berpg ,dro' v 930, or uselessly shot.

Mr. 131aekmo re presided. Mr. Bennett (the secretary) reported that at a meet ing of the committee of the "Eastern Unity Master Bakers' Society" the following resolutions were carried , unanimously :—" That this meeting having carefully and conscientiously considered the subject of restricting the hours of labour to twelve per day, have arrived at the conviction that the claim is based on a just and equitable foundation, alike conducive to the bes interests of the employer and the employed, there existing no precedent in sacred or profane history , warranting the employer in taxing the operative baker beyond those of workmen engaged in other branches of industry."-2nd. " The total abolition of • night employment is considered to be desirable, inas much as the unfortunate - established practice of the baking trade in London tends to debase, debilitate, and degrade the operatives, in being deprived of their natural rest. It is also detrimental to the best interests of the employers, much gas , being consumed and wasted, with other incidental expenses in like ratio, estimated is the aggregate to amount to full 10. per cent. on the expense of manufacture."-3rd.. "The committee having arrived at the foregoing conclusions after the most careful and diligent consideration of the whole ques . don, do recommend the adoption of the twelve hours' system, commencing at four a.m. to four p.m.. ; and further advise its commencement as. noon as practicable, which may be speedily accomplished by each individual ' member of the trade consulting his neighbours. The are unanimously of opinion that the ad vantages to be derived by the alteration of the present pernicious system will tend to a more reciprocal feeling- than at present exists' between the employer and em ployed, which must be considered the greatest of all desiderata; and we are-firmly of opinion that, with the: - adoption of the proposed system, the development of the moral and intellectual faculties, combined with the social enjoyments, will tend to elevate the operative baker in the social scale- second to none in the United Kingdom." Mr. Blackmore then said' that, as the masters would not meet them in open discussion, it had been decided by council to publish a pamphlet with a full statement of their wrongs, to be laid. before the public; and all the journeymen who had suffered by the old system were invited to write their history, which. would be published in the proposed paniphlet. After addresses from Messrs. Bennett, Rose, Wightin, Diamond, and' others, calling, upon the operatives to' combine, the proceedings closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. The customary royal bounty and gate alms were issued on Friday and Saturday last, • and on Monday and Tuesday in the current week, to the aged. and • meritorious poor. in the various districts and parishes is and around London, at the Almonry,office, Scotland yard, Whitehall; under the orders-of-the-Bishop of Oa ford, Lord High Almoner, and the Rev. Dr. Jelf, Sub- : Almoner, by Joseph Hanby, Esq., Secretary and Yeo- Man of her Majesty's Almonry in Ordinary.
