Instead of 20,000 men, it is thought that 12,000 will be near the mark. These troops will enjoy several special advantages. Their pay will be increased. They will be taken out in men-of-war, to save expense of hired transports, and will touch at Goree Cape of 'Good. Rope, and Singapore. A pamphlet from the pen of 31.

The Times speaks most hopefully of the success of the scheme for raisin°. 30,000 Royal Naval Volunteers, and remarks that if it does answer, we shall be prepared for any emergency at any moment, and the navy will never want men, as, already, besides the various measures adopted to insure the ordinary supply, we have a reserve in the Coastguard, and a further support in the Naval Coast Volunteers, to which may now be added the new body to be raised of 30,000 Volunteers. THE WAR-FEELING IN FRANCE. The Tinges adverts to the statements put forth by the French review, which it qu o t e d on Satur day, and says; it has no doubt that a feeling of hostility more bitter than has existed in Frchce since the peace of 1815, is at this moment enter tained towards this country. The Writes endeavours to show that these evil passions have received a powerful impulse from the .French Government itself, which has in its hands so completely the power of directing pub= lie opinion. The :limes remarks, that we can afford tp speculate on the alternative. It is not our fault that we are forced to act, in a time of profoulad r peace, as if the camp of Bole r ,mne was alretart iornieti age,:'-; and another flotilla awaiting the orders of its imperial master. • BANQUET TO T.liElib , LIEUTENANT InEtAND. COIN, Monday Evening.—This evening his excellency the Lord Lieutenant was entertained at a public banquet in the Atheneum. About 200 persons were present. After the usual loyal toasts The MAYOR EIVOBe, and, in complimentary ' terms, proposed the health of his excellency. The LORD LIEUTENANT rose amidst, loud cheers, which having subsided, his cexcellency thanked them for the extreme ceidiality with which they had received the toast. In alluding to the advantages of Cork harbour, his excel lency said he could not speak with any precision of the details that came before him, but that he might deal with the facts. Thi.)y all knew that in twenty hours from London, and five hours from Kingstown, heavy mail-bags were safely stowed on board packets for the Western World in Cork harbour. They all knew that ; and any one who had preferred that con-. veyance would have saved himself some twenty- four hours not pleasantly spent time on a stormy sea. He shrunk from . touching upon this point, even for the sake of.lieland„;te avoid the appear ance of endeavouring - to make capital oat -of events of sorrow and. calamity. Vttts • a fact' that, within the last few weeks, 'the channel between" our islands had been • the scene of a heartrending disaster.. He felt confident that it was an. enterprise which had for its aim to augment the resomrees, and promote the inter 7 course,u.nd prolong the friendship of the great family of man, -that nations may findtheir riches rewarded. His excellency concluded amidst loud Cheering. - Several other toasts were proposed and re spotded to, after which the company separated.

We hope the desires of :the gentlemen exerting 'themselves in the admirable movement will be grati fed by seeing the complete suceess of their efforts ; and, as oar Scottish brethren are already : in the field, ,the sons of Cambria should be up and doing.

ARTHUR MURSETA.—This talented gen tleman delivered a lecture on the " Ancient Britons" at Hope Hall last night. Though the title of the lee ture was not such as to promise a very amusing or, indeed, entertaining discourse, we, nevertheless, felt sure that with Marsell for a lecturer, the audience could not but be numerous. The anticipation proved correct, as on entering the hall about the beginning of the lecture, we found it quite impossible to obtain a seat, and it . was not without some difficulty that we succeeded in obtaining . a comfortable standing position. The lecture was principally occupied in a his torical narration of the events in connection with the Roman invasion; and if the main object of the lecturer was to place before his hearers a mere narration of the authenticated facts concerning that somewhat obscure period of English history, the lecture was a realisation of that idea ; further than this we, in conunni we pre sume with the majority of the audience, failed to per ceive any of that eloquende or ability which we -gene rally feel sure of recognising in a popular lecturer. At the conclusion of the lecture the chairman offered some brief remarks, after which the numerous aidience dis persed. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, YESTERDAY.Iefore 1 Messrs.

SELECT Vtstity.—The Select Vestry held their usual weekly meeting yesterday morning, in the Parish=offices, 1 rownloW-hill. The Rev. Rector Campbell, presided; the other members present were—Messrs.

This society gave their sixty-sixth public performance last night, at the Collegiate Institution, to a room not much more than half-filled. The performance of the " Dettingen Te Deuni," which formed the first part of the concert, vas only remarkable for being very much ou'; of tune from beginning to end. The second part was very much better in every respect; it opened with Romberg's noble composition, " The Transient and the Eternal," which was the means 'of introducing to us Miss Helena Walker, a lady who has a vcry pleasing voice, sings with taste and expression, and is always—thank Heaven !—in tune : she re ceived an encore in the coarse of the evening. The other solo singers Miss Hodgson ' nr. Inkersall, and Mr. Hittencliffe had nothing remai ) kable about them, except that the latter san very remarkably out of tune. RombergN cantata was followed b'y the solo and' chorus "Alma Virgo" of Himmel, the 'solo part sustained by Miss Walker, and the 'concert concluded with HimmePs sublime chorus, "11A, death," very effectively given. Mr. Smith supported the chorus well with the.3rgan; and Mr. Sanders, , the conductor, merits great praise for the cool and skilful manner in which he kept the band and chorus together, (no easy task, apparently,) and made the most that could be mado out of the -indifferent triaterials before him.

I am sorry that theraccommodatian here is perhaps too small; but, how 'ever, as we bake very little :time now, wewish to be at work and doing that which we conceive to be right. flentlemen, I are sure that in commencing this contest we are actuated by no personal or improper feeling.

We do not wish :to stir up personal animosities, or „personal feelings, or personal .asperities, --we are simply anxious to do what all men alight , to do for -the interests of -'the town. inewhich theyreeide. Weaare persuaded that :all men have, or ought to have, their-own views of these matters, .and they .oughtto act from-conviction—from a knowledge Of what is right and wrong. We do not 'for a moment Wish to deprive any man .of any real solid liberty. believe as subjects of this great country, we arc desirous•that all men-should esjoywhat is reasonable and right, and that every man should act for himself. I - will not detain you with any lengthened remarks. I have great pleasure inintroducfng to yournotice our respected -friend Mr. 'Came. I am quite sure you will 'never regret returning him to:the Town Council, if it is your -pleasure to ,do so. Sle is an honest, independent 'minded man, I am sure.

I bare pleasure in introducing , Mr. (Came to your:notice this-evening. (Cheers.) Mr. Linailt. read a note of apology for absence -from Mr..Aldelinan Bennett, in which he expressed his high °pill:One:A Mr. Came. Mr. Cana:To on rising i 0 address the meeting, was.re oeived wit fa the:greatest •possible enthusiasm, manifested -in great cheering arid-Waving of hats. On silence being motored, he said, - Mr. 'Chairman and gentlemen, allow me, in the 'first dace, to thank you; for your kindness. It has been mantiened to me that Aast night I over looked this part.of my ditty ; but it, was a mere over sight, and I now beg to !thank you most sincerely for your warm reception - on .this and the former occasion. • I am very gratefdl Sot the honour thus bestowed on me. bare resided amene. pit and been,a -ratepayer here for a cer.siderable period ," havingheen the lessee of extensive warehouses for many years in Scotland Ward. This is °lie ground upon which I call upon you to give me, your support. It is mriateeest as well as yours to keep dcwn the rates as far as it can be done ; not haying been a raenaber ,of the Council, I have not had an opportunity of, firming or expressing an :opinion upon all the details affecting this question; yet, if returned to the Counca, I shall be happy „to give the whole subject my best attention, and so endeavour by all means in my power to study economy. There are many subjects on which you would wish to have my opinion. consider there is no reason why the -docks should not be rated. Of course it is urged by:those who hold the opposite opinion that they ought not to be rated because they say there is no beneficial interest in the docks. Ana no doubt it is true that you cannot trace a beneficial interest to any particular individual.; but at the same time there is no doubt there is a beneficial interest in the docks to some parties, who must be benefitted by the fait that the docks are not rated ; while on the other hand I cannot conceive that the rates of goods passing through the town need be pereeptilly effected by any sum that it could be necessary to levy on the docks; and I see no reason, therefore, why the docks should not be rated. As to the schools, I wish to say nothing that would give offence to a party who are strong. in this ward, but as my opponent has alluded to the subject, I beg to say that I entirely differ from him in opinion. I consider that these schools, in so far as I have had an opportunity of judging, are doing a great deal of good. There are few here who, like same parties, would wish to see , them sold. I consider that the Corporation, in paying for those schools, are only doing their duty.- Most of you, perhaps, will not be aware that during the reign of William 111. the tithes were commuted for one ; hundred a year paid to the then rector, and a house These tithe s wou ld h ave amou nt e d t o a for him to res id e i n.

(Hear, hear.) Now, lie was a Conservative, and he was proud of being so; but if anything was wanting to mane him proud of being • pi !li n a Conservative, he would find it in the opinions lately delivered by the head of the party, Lord Derby. (Hear, hear.)

The GovernMent were subsidising the services of the - Mercantile marine, and he agreed that the country should pay some little sum of money towards subsidising those who had hitherto, without any extra pay, ben always forward to defend their Queen and country. (Cheers). He would like to promulgate the fact to all persons present who had any friends in the seafaring line, who might be di4osed to volunteer, that they are to receive a retainer of £6" a year after registering themselves, and subsequently, when they bad served a certain :number of years, they were entitled to a, pension. lie would recommend any one in that. meeting, having Mende in that profestion, to promulgate these acts,f for the movement was one . of the bee: : sa t . had ever been Undertaken, and lie trusted that it would have its effect. They must, however, all hope that the :warlike signs, which at mgeat were very threatening, would soon ai;appear. The signs of the times were gloomy indeed ; but he hoped, by the measures that had been taken, any enemy would be effectually deterred ,from attempting to invade this country; and that that peace, which all Englishmen so much desired, might be preserved. (Hear.) If any gentleman liked, be would now allude to the question of the "clicks." (Roars of laughter, and loud cries of " No.") That being so, then, he would only say that if any gentleman wished to ask him any questions he would endeavour to answer them . in the most straightforward manner in his power. They would permit him to say that for some years he was in the 'Vestry, placed there by his friend Alderman Dover ; but for seine years past he had not been in the habit of addressing. public meetings of any kind. He hoped, however, they would believe him that he said most sincerely, if he was returned to the Council he would do everything in his power to advance their interests ; that he would always be accessible' to his constituents ; that be would endeavour to place any matter entrusted to his charge in as intel ligible a manner as possible before the Council ; that, laving time, 'he would give his best services to the interests of the ward as he ought to do ; and that he hoped to have the pleasure of meeting the burgesses on s. future day, When he should be able to show them deeds, instead of giving them words, as a proof of what he would do in:the future. (Loud applause.) Three cheers were given for Mr. Came. divistaoai hrandnl etdc at ' e Alderman .DOVER said he appeared before the meeting ` 1 that night, not as a member of the Council—not as one of those peripatetic philosophers who went about, lec turing other people—(roars of laughter)—but he came' there us a ratepayer in their ward—(hear, hear)—and he was desirous of recommending to them, as they were men of business, a man of business as their repre sentative, (Hear, hear.) Mr. Came was a gentleman, as he had himself told them, who, although he had not had a-scat in the Town Council, had had a seat at the Parochial Board, and having served on that board himself, he (Alderman Dover) could speak as to the great amount of services, and of the time and thought that must be rendered by a man who did his duty, and, for the time that Mr. Came occupied a seat at that heard, it seemed that no fault could by any possibility he found with his public administration, except that ho stopped at one time a couple of clocks. (Loud laughter.) Now, was there any one of them, who filled a situa tion in life, whether private or public, if the eyes of the world had been upon him, that could say he had com mitted no greater fault than having stopped • a pair of clocks? (Renewed laughter.) He (Alderman Dover) was sure, if he were the happy man, he should be exceedingly proud. (Hear, hear.) But upon the subject of the clocks, their good friend had been rather modest. His position as churchwarden was simply this—that the Parish of Liverpool through its vestry assembled — and they could only know the voice of the parish by its appearing in vestry—had declared that there should no longer be any Church-rates. In what position then did that leave his honourable friend ? Just this, that whereas without he had given notice to every.creditor upon the church estate of the Parish of Liverpool, that he himself and his coadjutor, Mr. Hutchison, would not be liable, as there was no Church-rate, they would have been liable for that year for the sum of £6,000. (Hear, hear.) It was all very easy to talk about "stopping the clocks," but they all knew very well that when the tap was stopped the whole proceed-, ings must be stopped too. (Hear, hear.) The parishioners in vestry assembled in their wisdom—he did not say that he agreed with them in their decision—declared at that time that there-should no longer be Church-rates, and therefore, as a prudent man, Mr. Came was in duty bound, to protect himself, by . giving notice to, amongst the other creditors of the parish, the gentlemen who had charge of the clocks, that he would be no longer liable for any expense incurred in connection with them. He saw around him a number of gentlemen like himself in trade, and he was sure that they wished to be repre sented by a gentleman who could not only sympathise with them, but who, with them, felt what the public burdens were. When he read the addresses of some gentlemen in the newspapers who had presented them selves before the electors as representatives, and when he had heard of boulevards and grand parks, and other things of the kind, it appeared to him that they wanted to make Liverpool not what it ought to be, but some fabulous place such as they would read of in romance or in the "Arabian Nights' Entertainment." For his part, he thought 4s. , in the pound quite as much as he was able to pay, and he had looked with alarm on these great schemes which would entail a rate of Ss. to 10s. in the pound, for that would be the cost of them. There was no fear, however, of their friend being led into these mistaken notions—he would not call them absurdities, for they might be all very well if they could be carries' out—but they had not the money unless they came upon them for an advanced rate—that he was sure they would be unwilling to pay. He was sure Mr. Came would be one of those men who would do his duty to the ratepayers, and not only to them bat to the working-classes. He was quite sure that he .would not show any desire to squander the money away unnecessarily ; but, at the same time, he was such a man that he would not hesitate to promote the proper sewer age of the town, and he would be also willing to widen the streets in the populous parts of it. A great deal might be done at a very small cost, that was if they went to work with the purpose of carrying out matters of improvement, and at the same time consulted the interest of the ratepayers. There was one scheme that had been brought .before the Council some years age, and one 'which would have taken but little expense to carry it out; and it was that, in such wards as that, squares might be formed. If they formed one or two such squares in Scotland Ward, and one in Vauxhall Ward, it would be open and of great iwape a. Iry pier-headoeTheylrysu re nseha dore t.

This was the first opportunity that he had ever had of addressing ihem; and, he was sure, they would pardon him if he made' a few remarks relative to the doings of the Council, of which he had the - honour of being a member for now say y t t 1 11 aboutiea had C traducingbouene twhteehr the Council; fashion! c neotmt leial b; l w i: i a to t d h n arsto to .go' s error. He did not mean to say but they had to r use the words of the liturgy, "done that which they. ought not to have done, and left undone that which they ought to have done." If it had been otherwise it should not have been human, and they were but human. lie did not intend to say what the Council had pot dune, 1 but what they had done ; and he would tell them that, 1 iu 1846, they went te Parliament to o I. tain an act to i tax themselves, for the E.J.poso of promoting the ,;.tith of mortality the and the r consequence h oenseqy 30 peruencew cent. _rfwadiDjuei, thatas, sir the thw was reduced to ask them to look at the amount of saved to working men—tb- , (nifferisgAikey had Loss of tame during Sickness, and expense con-- - • had -Vlent on, that sickness. If the Council-, uone nothing more titan to reduce the mortality thirty per '.":;nt., it had done a great and a glorious ~,ut the Council had done more than that. They w e 7e: to look at the baths the museum, the gardens, and' musical treats for the working classes in St. George's vihich were unequalled in the country. They could not do this, and then tell him that the Council was worn out —that the members should be turned out, and it re formed. He did not dispute that they should have new blood infused into it ; and, therefore, he had come there to ask them to send as their representative Mr. Came. He knew that he was addressing- tradesmen, and no doubt money was valuable to them. From that, he therefore argued, that When the question of dock rating arose, and Mr. Came found that by the docks being rated the rating on his warehouses would be reduced,by some twenty or thirty per cent., it would act as a kind of stimulant to him; and if nothing else but the pocket interest influenced him, that would urge him to do all he could to carry it out. There were no doubt a num ber of them present who had heard of frequent dif ferences about the rates of carting, and he did not know - any one who was so well qualified to go into such a question or a gentleman with so much practical ex perience as Mr. Came had. Mr. Came had said that he (the alderman) was the means of introlueing him to the vestry, but he was not aware of that till then. He would say to Mr. Carne if he were elected, as he hoped he should, for him to go into the Council unpledged to any party, calling no man master, and wearing no man's livery; and if be fOlowed that line of conduct he ifinz their interest. He did not mean would be -- A he entered tile Council to say that a man wut. if of his political feelings, Chambers could divest himse , e , vote to be influenced hut if he went there, and allowedly.. -vietion of what by his , political feeling, against his con. • , nIS con. was right, then he would not be servii.,, stituency. He hoped the day was not far tstm4 though he confessed it had not yet arrived, when' the subject of politics would not be mentioned in con nection with Town Council business. This, however, could not come from one side, hut from both ; and he believed the common sense of the town would force it upon the Council. He had nothing more to say of Mr. Came, but as his conduct had been satisfactory to them, both as a churchwarden and while in the vestry, he thought he would be a very useful man in the Town Council. lie could not sit down without saying a word or two in favour of Mr. Shell and Mr. Crellin, their representatives, who were two of the most useful men in the Town Council ; and be should be very sorry if, when these gentlemen presented themselves for re-election, they should not be returned. He concluded, by moving that Mr. Came be the representative of the ward in the Town Council. Mr. MamitN seconded the motion. Mr. LAFONE said he was much fatigued, but if they did not all understand it already, he would say a word with respect, to the question of the clocks. A Voice—" We have all got watches, let the clocks drop." Mr. LAFONE went on to say that Mr. Came could not go on tick. He did not think that Mr. Aspinall was the man to represent them in the Town Council, because as a solicitor if he were engaged in a case against the Town Council, it would be his duty, in justice to his client, to mulct the Council as far as possible. He asked any of them who bad read the speeches of Mr. Aspinall and of Mr. Came and compared them, what was their opinion of the two candidates. He hoped they would not let electioneering squibs be used, but that they would use all legitimate means to return Mr. Came on Friday next. He also hoped there would be no improper influence used 'on any religious sect, as had been done some years ago. They ought to allow men, no matter who, to go his own way to heaven. In the town of Liverpool it had been a system not to employ those who were not of their own persuasion ; but he considered it would be a disgrace to ask a man whether he was a Roman Catholic or a Protestant before he was employed. He did not think that boulevards were required in Liverpool. There were no other wards so neglected as Scotland and Vaux hall Wards had been, and he thought by having such men as Mr. Came in the Council they should be no longer neglected. Mr. Snml nN, who on rising was greeted with cheers, said he never shrunk from his duty ; and he considered it his duty, however unprepared, to add his testimony to the high moral character and great business talents of Mr. Came. He had the pleasure of knowing him for fifteen years, and he thought Scotland Ward would do, themselves an honour by placing him at the head of the poll on Friday. The CMAIRMAN then put the resolution proposed by Alderman Dover, which was adopted amid loud cheers. Mr. CARPE then moved a vote of thanks to , the chairman, and the meeting separated. BANKRUPTS.
