ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's screvin steamer North American, Captain Thomas Aiton, arrived in Liverpool yesterday, with the Canadian Mails, having sailed from Quebec on Saturday, the 19th ult. Besides the mails, and a valuable cargo, the North American brought 49 cabin and 60 steerage passengers. The general intelligence by this arrival is not im portant. A contract has been entered into with Mr. McGreevy of Quebec, for the construction of the Departmental and Parliamentary Buildings at Ottowa. There were fifty competitors for the contract, including several Americans. • The Victoria Bridge has had a narrow escape from having an important portion of it destroyed.. In taking down a part of the scaffolding at a completed portion of the bridge, a mass of the scaffolding material fell on, an incompleted part of the iron work (~f .another portion, greatly endangering its stability. Fortunately, however, no great damage resulted, and there is now every pros pect of the bridge being completed before the navigation of the river is closed for the season. THE SAN lIJAN DIPLOMATIC CORICESPONDIZNCE.— The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North • America): writes as follows :—" Washington, Nov. 13 : In the present state of the negociations with England, concerning the San Juan affair, the corre spondence canno: - , be, submitted to Congress, or form the subject of comment in the President's Message. It will be referred to only as a question still pending between the two , Governments, and with , the expression of a, hope of a satisfactory solution, which is entirely justified by, all the fants, as has already been stated in this correspondence. The British Government has been officially informed that General Harney's act in taking possession of the island, and asserting exclusive jurisdiction was unautho rised by any instruction or order issued here. , This dis 'avowal would probably have relieved the, complication entirely if it had been followed by a withdrawal of. the troops, which the Administration declined doing, as it 'Would seem to.. involve a concession of the whole point in• dispute, and perhaps be magnified .into an absolute Surrender of all claim to the territory. Another reason which, perhaps, operated in producing this con clusion was the conviction that the, Oregon treaty conclusively fixed the title of.thediland in the, United States, though the bOundary line liaS never been,run, and is still, by the policy which Governor Marcy wisely adopted as a means of preventing further embarrass ment, _open to negotiation."., Under date of the 16th November, the correspondent of the: New York Daily Tribune says.:—" The, last intelligence at the War Pepartment represents that the Brownsville foray was prompted by plunder mainly.

There was again a very large attendance of the opera tive classes, and the lecture, which was most appropri ate, was listened to with the greatest interest and attention throughout. The next lecture of the course is to 'be given by the Rev. J. B. Collor, incumbent of St. Simon's Pirria, ACCIDENT. —The railway station at War rington 'was the scene of an accident which adds anothe r to - thp innumerable instances of incautiousness on the part 'of passengers. William 'Hales, cow-keeper, Ken sington, had been to Warrington fair. On arriving at the railway station in the evening, the train was just about to start; there was, consequently, a great rush by the crowd to obtain places. Hales, in attempting to step into, an empty division, was pushed over the side of the platform, between two of the carriages. The train at that moment was set in motion, and the unfortunate man was literally' , cut in two, the train having passed over his thighs. Death,,of course, ,was almost instan taneous. TRADE MASKS.—As this i s a subject of great import ance to every one, and is exciting much attention at the present time, we beg to direct the attention of our readers to the report, which appears in another column of our paper, of a law case, Wotherspoon v. Turner and another," decided in the Court of Chancery on the 25th November, from which it will be seen that the plaintiff succeeded in obtaining an injunction restrain in.. the defendants from imitating the labels of the Glenfield patent starch. Although we are quite alive to the necessity of the legislature adopting u4eans for the suppression of this class of frauds, we nevertheless think that the pUblic Would suffer much less, by them were every one, having' the 'opportunity, to follow the spirited example of Messrs. Wotherspoon and Co., who, we believe, have now for,the fourth time, at very great trouble and expense ' been'sdeceisful in suppressin g imi tations of the labels of their well-known " Glenfield Patent Starch." LECTURE.—The fourth and last of the course of lec tures en the Scripture,.hy the Rev. Dr. Baylee, was de livered last 'night in' Hope call. A very considerable audience was in attendance. The particular view of the subject to which the lecturer confined himself was "The religious and moral teaching of the Scriptures." He cited successively a number of the most prominent argu ments raised by 'the perverse ingenuity of infidelity against the*Bible as the standard of morals and religion, quoting from the authors the charges they bring against the,book, and answering.them out of it. The rev..gen tiemat was warmly applauded ; and, at the close, a most cordial vote of thanks was passed for the valuable in formation he has communicated throughout the course. HENGLER'S CIRQUE VARIETE;—This attractive place of . amusement has assumed a new phase, by the intro duction of the steeple chase and the wonderful globe performance. Indeed, everything that can please and satisfy in the way of equestrian performances is to be found in the circus. Whilst the able and, judicious management of Mr. Russell commends itself highly for the comfort and convenience which are afforded to thousands who assemble, Mr. Ilengler, the spirited pro- Prieto; leaveS nothing undone to delight and amuse the dense midience. The clowns, W4tiop,:Bibb, &e., keep the assemblage in bursts of langhter during the per formance, whilst the favourite performance of Mr. Hengler himself is a rich treat. We understand that SatUrday next will 'be a grand gala, day, owing to 'the performances being under the patronage of the Earl of Seften. Those who have not visited this Place of amusement should do so, and embrace the opportunity of witnessing the exploits of this fine company , of .petformen.

MEETING. AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION LAST NIGHT Last night a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Everton and the surrounding district was held in the Collegiate Institution, for the purpose of aiding in the formation of a Volunteer Rifle and Artillery Corps. His Worship the Mayor (T. D. Anderson, Esq.) pFe sided; .andamongst other gentlemen Present were Messrs. T. B. Horsfall, M.P., A.-Hodgson, I. J. Stitt, J.

Ewart, Esq., M.P., Charles Turner, Esq. ; Benjamin Heywood Jones, Esq., deputy-lieuten ant ; Captain Mends, R.N. ; and William Brown, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was greeted with enthusi astic cheers. He said :—I need not assure you, ladies and gentlemen, of the pleasure that it has given me to accept the invitation of the gentlemen of Everton to take the chair this evening, on the present gratifying occasion. I only regret that it was out of •my power to an earlier day. This will ex the gentlemen of Everton and arrang e to meet you c ) the public wh' V - Rirkdale, who are almost always foremost in carrying forward anything in which the welfare of the town and country are concerned (loud -cheers) have not had a meeting ere this, to inaugurate the formation of an Everton corps. (Cheers.). I may mention that a depu tation waited upon .me last week from Everton, to state that the gentlemen . of that district were anxious to have a'mbeting, and'that they wished me to take the chair. Unfortunately, when they called I was engaged every evening until the present, or we would h ave h a d a meet ing ere this. I wished them to have had a:meeting, and had atiother chairman, but they were kind enough to say that they would postpone the meeting. till I was at liberty. Having already expressed m y opinion upon the volunteer movement, and havinc , shewn `my readineSs to encourage it. in 'every way that I could, it -will not be necessary for me to ,say much on the. present occasion. I shall merely observe, that in , the present state of the continent I think, it seems to me, that it is the general feeling, - that not only for the defence' of our Queen and country, but for the protection of our families against unnecessary alarms, and of our commerce from panics, that,it is advisable—yea, necessary—that we thould hie a strong. permanent volunteer force in the country. (Cheers.) Liverpool has nobly done her duty, and I believe at the present time she has *a larger number of volunteers than: any town in the country. (Lod applause.) •At . a meeting, this afternoon, of the Rifle - Brigade Association, I got a statement made up as correctly as possible, of the number of--volun teers which had been already enrolled, and the number amounted to - upwards of 3,000. (Loud cheers.) There . are sthral companies —and pretty laige companies, too, - - —now in course of 'formation which frill sWelf that num ber considerably within .a very short period.

(Cheers.) say that the committee - immediately passed a resolution, conveying their warmest thanks to the Messrs. Heywood for their great -liberality-and their kindness. (Cheers.) I will not, detain you any longer, ,as there are' several gentlemen to sneak on the present occasion, but call upon Mr. Horsfairto move the first resolution (Great eheering.) I I T. B. HOASFALI Esq., M.P., then rose ' and, was received with rapturous an d p ro l o n ge d applauk: He said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, when I received an invitation to be present here this evening,, I certainly did not expect the honourable post to be assigned to me of moving, the first resolution. , 'Sir, there is something intensely ' interesting and intensely exciting in this movement, and in this meeting. (Hear hear.) And I think, sir, you may take it as a guarantee that you will receive in all the duties of your office, whether they be . duties pertaining naturally to the office of chief magistrate, or duties arising from the present extraordinary times, that you will receive the unanimous, the cordial, and the zealous support of all your fellow-townsmen. (Loud applause.) Being myself a native of Everton, I _rejoice in being permitt e d to take part in this meeting. , I rejoice, sir, too, to have this opportunity of taking part in this meeting, because my absence from Liverpool prevented my attending you, sir, 'at the great meeting at St. George's-hall. (Ap plause.) And, although I observed that one of our local papers, probably inadvertently, no doubt, stated that I was that day in Liverpool and attend ing Mr. Rarey's entertainment—(laughter)—l hope I need not assure you, sir, that this is a mistake. At least, I can only say, interesting as these enter tainments may be, I should, have felt that I was wanting in respect to you—wanting in duty to my Sovereign and my fellow-townsmen—(applause)—if I had gone there instead of to St. George's-hall. (Ap plause.) Well, sir, we are asked on the Continent—ond it has been asked in this country—what is all this arming for ? Sir, a reply has already been given—given from every town in the kingdom—that is not for any, purpose of aggression—(hear, hear)—it is not to' attack other nations—it is not to invade other countries—(hear, hear) —but to tell them all that we are prepared to defend our own.. (Loud applause.) Sir, I have often been tempted to, feel some degree of pride in the honourable position in which my fellow-townsmen have placed me. I have felt proud of their intelligence, and of their ,commercial enterprise., But, sir, if there is one thirig more than another of which a representative of Liverpool may feel justly proud, it is the loyalty and public spirit of its inhabitants. (Cheers.) But, Mr. Mayor, it is asked again—What is the cause of this movement ? It has been well said, sir, that England herself is the cause— the innocent cause of the whole movement. Her free dom, her faith, her independence, her gigantic power, her treasures, and her triumphs are the hate of despots and the envy of the world. (Prolonged applause.) Sir, I know that many gentlemen are here to address this meeting, and I shall therefore confine myself to'simply moving—" That in the o pi n i on - of this meeting it is most desirable that every assistance should. be gwen to the volunteer artillery and rifle movement ; and that this meeting pledges . itself to promote this object by every means in its power." The non, gentleman resumed his seat amidst considerable applause. Mr. Councillor --- SrLTAseconded- the resolution. He whateYer differences of opinion might exist on: many topics in this free country, and however pertini ciousl), at the proper times we might; be in the habit of adhering to those opinions, yet, .there were many sub jects upon which they could all cordially agree; there where many - occasions when .-party spirit and party strife must cease ; and where and when more appropri ately, than when we met, as on this evening, upon the platform of -our. common patriotism. (Applause)... Only let the faintest impression be entertained that the' person or the throne of our beloved Sovereign are even remotely threatened—that the dear-bought liberties of our native land were men.aeed—or that the graves of our forefathers were in danger of being polluted by the foot of any foreign foe ; and they would touch a chord in the national breast , of England that thrilled, as with electric, stroke, from the Land's End to John o',Groats. (Applause.) And. such a chord, he con tended, had been touched now ; and it had met with a rapid and ready response. (Hear, hear.) He regarded the indirect benefits of the volunteer • movement to be great, and held that they would be a gigantic step which: he believed to be towards bringing the different classes of society more And, he concluded by closely together. Ile also advocated it as a , purely v t l e y in f movement., favour o a f ild n peace. • - . • defensive England were to conic into collision, our country might words of.our less resistance, and repeatedly got up again to her knees,. . so come out ofthe contest as to realise ti only, however, with the effect of renewed assurance that poet, and to remain— she was in a helpless condition.

At the conclusion, as. well as during the delivery of his lecture, M r . McCarthy received the warmest demonstrations of the audience's appreciatiOn of his lecture and acquiescence in his sentiments. ARCHITECTURALSOCIETY,--This society held its fourth meeting of the season in the Royal Institution, Colquitt street. The minutes of the .previous meeting . having been read and - approved, a . gommunication was read from the students of the society, intimating that at , a meeting held on the 17th, they ,had resolved that the subject for _Competition shall be a villa, which shall contain four entertaining rooms; the plan shall be one for each floor; with two sections, and two elevations, and one perspective _view. J. Picton, Esq., proposed Mr. William Calleghan for a student member. Mr. Picton also showed a fac-simile of the sketch-book of Willars de Honecort, which was lately found in the Imperial Library at Paris, an architect of the 13th century. Some of the drawings seem to be sketches taken by the artist in his travels; and are very excellent, and evince a refined and correct taste ; others are plans of machines for warlike purposes, and there is even a drawing with an explanatory note which shoWs that it was an attempt at that early date to produce what may be termed•to have been the zgnis fatuus of mechanics, viz., a perpetual motion. The paper of the evening was read by Mr.. E. /Lefler, on " Architectiral- Remains in Sussex : a sketch." The paper was well written, and evinced a very considerable amount of historical and antiquarian knowledge. -At its close a short discussion ensued, an d the thanks of the meeting, were awarded to the author. MR. RAREY, YESTERDAY. Mr., Rarey gave his fourth and, for the .present, final exposition and, demonstration of .his system of taming wild and vicious , horses, yesterday afternoon, in. the Circus, Dale-street, :which was again filled with a most, respectable and fashionable audience. The celebrated, horse, Cruiser, was first exhibited, and lay down at his master's feet :almost as soon as .he felt the second strap, 'on his leg, without -the slightest effort at resistance. Mr. Rarey stated that Cruiser was fed and groomed by his man without requiring his head or leg to be fastened up ;" and notwithstanding his' entire subjugation, this horse now possessed more. spirit, better flesh, and greater strength than he had in his former ferocious condition. The second illustration was a young unbroken mare, unbridled; unshod, and which had never been saddled.or mounted. The usual process of embracin&the animal's head, and gra dually soothing its excitabil4 enabled the : operator to, introduce the bit and put . the. bridle over the head. This was followed by the application of the straps in ,the manncr lie have formerly described,: which speedily brought the colt to -its knees, and then on its side. In this prostrate condition, the 'accustorned liberties were taken to familiarise the horse with being handled, and ,sat , upon, and when, by the complete -relaxation of the muscles, it was,apparent that the animal had no idea of further resistance, the straps were removed and it' was allowed to stand upon its four legs again, when it was perfectly content.to,be saddled and mounted, and 'quietly ridden about in any direction ; and, finally, a drum was beaten loudly on its back without producing any disk turbing effect on, the subject of this successful demon-. stration. The third and concluding practical exposition ..was made upon, a hunting mare, whieh had all her life been knoWn for, the vices of kicking and biting. This mare was put through the process of strapping and manipu lating, with which the public are now so familiar, and with the us unequiv great nervous excitement,. and ITIAC+ lAA; f1114211T all 11 strapped she gave a very protiacted, but, of course, use- pathfin the volunteer movement - - Mr. THOMAS CitivroN said every Englishman must feel the•importance of this movement, and be rejoiced to see it so fully and enthusiastically taken up and carried out. (Cheers.) If they asked themselves, what had been the situation and the position of England for the last twenty years, with regard to its foreign relations, he feared they could not add a very satisfactory answer: At all events, at the best, it had been but a doubtful and a debateable position ; and by the side of those who had asserted that its _position had not been so satisfactory and secure as it should be, they had had the names of those in whom Englishmen had most wisely placed the greatest confidence. He might mention the name of a nobleman who had now departed from our midst, but was well known in this country—the late Lord Elles and he did not hesitate to declare, only a few go, what the consequence would have been to the troops in London, bad the French thrown a large body of troops on. our shores. At,tbat time it required a greater amount of moral courage to make suell. a statement as that than to boast boldly of the invincibility of England. (Cheers.) Again, the Duke of Wellington, in a letter to Sir John Burgoyne, thirteen years ago, did not hesitate to say that it had pleased God to keep him for seventy-seven years in honour, and he prayed God that he might never live to see that catastrophe which he had in vain urged his contemporaries to take means to avert. That opinion declared thirteen years ago, must speak to the great prescience of that eminent man, (Cheers.) Now, however, we were alive to our position. We found that we had been too much like a man doubt ful of his position, until at last by his conscious fears he brought upon himself theyery troubles that he most feared. Now, we were determined that these disgraceful panics which had so often stopped us in our national progress and in the extension of our commerce, should no longer continue. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They were told that the movement was unnecessary ; that we need not fear invasion from , the Emperor of the French; but we, as Englishmen, ought to declare that we, were not pre pared to trust tothe forbearance,of any,one.man,, and especially, having regard to his antecedents, to the Em peror of the French. (Loud cheers.) England must take her own honour, her own safety, and her own in terests, into her own hands, and trust to herself and none else. To accomplish this the present volunteer move ment appeared to be the best means, and it should receive his most hearty support. (Loud cheers.) [During Mr. Chilton's remarks -the- Victoria Rifle Corps entered the hall, ani was loudly cheered.] The resolution was earritc The MAYOR said ::the'. next resolution wa been moved by Mr. J• C.Ewart, M.P., who ever, unavoidab, he believed, deta Mr. ADAM HODGSON moved committee to collect subscriptions, &c. that more allusion had not before be( warnin, Duke c given this country thirteen years lat warning was given in been stated, and it was also .given .over and ov by the Duke in his .plaee in the IlouSe of Lo: was the warning of the most courageous, of the bravest, of the boldest, and of the most military plan of his age. (Cheers.) That warning was disregarded; and why ? Because gentlemen were in those days afraid of being thought afraid, and there were no greater cowards in the world than those who were afraid of being thought afraid. There was hardly, mina, a more encouraging feature connected with the circumstances of .the present day, and the present movement, .than that that feeling of cowardice had been dispelled. (Cheers.) He thought invasion.would have been probable had no preparation been made to meet it, but that the present movement had greatly checked the tendency to invasion. Mr. Hodgson concluded by °ail ing on the young men of the district to enrol themselves in defence of the country, which was 'the great deposi tory of everlasting . truth. Mr. FOSBERY, in seconding the resolution, said, for years past it had been to his - mind a wonder that each successive Government had displayed so much apathy in providing the means of defence for the country ; and it was the more remarkable when he bore in mind that probably no other Government in the world so well knew the value of volunteers in defending their country against the assaults of an army of regular troops as our own Government did. (Hear, hear.) And in proof of this, he cited the various defeats of the flower of the English army in the United States by the volunteer riflemen of that country. The Rev. Mr. LOMA'S was called upon by the chair man to support the resolution. He was received with loud applause, and said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I cams into this room only a few minutes ago, without any idea whatever that I should be called upon to address. you. I came after being engaged in duties which some may consider more consistent with my pro fession. But, still I must confess that I see nothing in compatible with -the duties of that profession in supporting a movement such as that in which you are engaged to-night. (Hear, hear, and applause.) We are called the ministers of the Gospel of peace ; but I hold that we shall best promote peace by encouraging all our fellow-countrymen to be prepared to defend themselves from attacks from without. (Ap plause.) For there can be no question that there will be a great deal more hesitation on the part of intending enemies to attack those( who are well armed than those who are defenceless. And, therefore, I think we pro mote peace by being prepared for war. (Hear, hear,) I certainly could not advocate such an aggressive atti tude as that which some of onr mercurial brethren in the sister country are often accused of encouraging. We hear of a pugnacious Irishman at :Donnybrook Fair, suggesting that some one should tread on the tail, of his coat. (Laughter.) I would rather encourage an atti tue like that of which I read the other day in the newspaper, respecting a member •of the respectable Society of Friends. He . received a blow on one side of his, face, and, according to scriptural injune . tion, he turned the other. He received a blow upon that, and then he , quietly addressed his assailant—" Friend, having complied with.the scriptural injunction, I piocced to - . administer to thee a little wholesome castigation." (Loud laughter, and 'applause.) We should be ready to put up with something that might.appear to sensitive 'persons like an insult, sooner than provoke a sanguinary war.; but there are lengths beyond which. we cannot go in forbearance. It behoves us to defend our countr y by • showing a bold -front to our assailants ; and I believe the Ruler, of- the universe, who has implanted in.our breasts naturally a spirit o f patriotism, will .not. look upon it as unwarran t a ble. (Applause:) If I may - be permitted, I would thank those gentlemen I now see around me, who have shown their willingness t o engage in so good a cause ; and I would say fin mYself,, and I might, perhaps, say it for all my brethren; that we 'will do all we can, if the- necessity should, arise, to encourage them in the defence of their country. (Applause.) • Lieutenant RENVGILL, late of the Royal Artillery, also supported the resolution, expressing his readiness to serve shoulder to shoulder with any man, whatever his position might be. 0 • , The resolution was put, and carried by acclamation. The. Rev. S. MAcruvoßT, in moving a vote of thanks to the Mayor, said he Was not an alarmist, and he did hot believe that the wisdom of the Emperor of the French would ,allow him, to invade England, and especially so, knowing as he did the character of the British people. (Hear, hear.) But although he did not anticipate either, from Frenchmen, Bassiank Dutchmen, or anybody else ever they did invade ui, God f an invasion )rbid they, should eve (Laughter, aw.

(Tremendous. cheering.) Three hearty cheers were then given for the Mayor. His WORSIIIP briefly acknowledged the compliment. Three cheers. were given for Mr. Ronan; and a similar compliment having been paid to Mr. J. B. Cooper, the proceedings terminated. vernment woulc and XCHANGE COMPANY.-ADMINISTRATION OF THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. - The ceip.- ...le oath of allegiance by th e members of this company, took place yesterday, at the Town-hall, in. presence ,of the. Mayor T. D; Anderson, Esq., and several influential gentlemen. The Ex- molly of takir Nr. E. B. Bright, ph _Company, and is sage Company was originated by secretary to ti Magnetic Teleg composed to a consitierable extent of the clerks „ attached to that establishment, though it comprises also numbers of members from various• mercantile establishments in the neighbourhood of the Exchange, and is open to all. Upwards of seventy members have already joined, and it is expected that in a very few days their numbers will be largely increased. They assembled at the tele graph office, and from thence marched in; excellent order to the Town-hall, where the oath was administered, Mr. Herbert officiating in place of the Town-clerk. The Mayor, addressing the corps, complimented them upon their numbers, and upon their manly appearance, observing that he had no doubt, should their services be called into active and serious requisition, they would fully . bear out the opinion he had formed of them. The requisition to the Lord-Lieutenant, praying for the en rolment of the corps, also recommended for the approval of her Majesty, Mr. Edward B. Bright, for appoint mutt as captain,, and Mr. Lawrence H. Parr, for appoint ' • The requisition has been signed ment at lieutenan by every member of the company. The compan — y, is. intended to be a self-supporting• one, and will, we understand, have the advantages of being inexpensive, and having a place of drill close to the Exchange. A store room as a depot for arms and accoutrements has been engaged in the same locality. The drills will be so arranged. that the members can attend at seven o'clock, so that gentlemen detained at their offices late in the evening will have plenty of time for drill at that hour. RIFLE CORPS AT TRANMERE. In accordance with public announcement, that the committee appointed to test the opinion of the inhabi tants of Tranmere, as to the desirability of establishing eer rifle company for that district, had received so much encouragement, both as regarded -the number of volunteers and;piomised subscribers to the fund, a public meeting was held last evening, in the Britannia Rooms, Traumere, the object being to elect a committee to arrange for drill, enrolment of the company, and other necessary matters. A detachment of No. ..1 Cheshire Company, in full regimentals,, was , present, under the command of Lieut. Word, and Ensign Conway, Captain Cadell being cat of town. Mr. James Dolby moved, and Mr. Jo4ph Jones seconded, that W. Warring Perry, Esq., do take the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the, firs:, proceeding to inau gurate the Tranniere Volunteer Rifle Corps would be the reading of the notice calling the meeting, which he proceeded to do. Ile then continued ; to. say that late as Tranmere appeared to be in the field. in connee- !en ex.trerile; serettilviu. the matter for the last. tyro ,months' oz Gentlemen did him the honour to +iette r eror,, in reference to .s an,-41.,01 .e.srthjeet, he thought the. timeev should take a decided §tep.. Ile thoog.ht.tliat they •Tiyed ; when what the tohntry rally was I he was hey had It was ; with, a r try w to be well ranmere to called. It was very necessary that Europe,-and England should be prepared, frera, the vacillating neighbouring potentate, who ,had thrown the entire .continent into alarm.. He had no doubt that if the opportunity offered,, that man would pounce upon England and make. her his prey, as he had done Italy, by tomfooling herby ; pretenges of; giving,her liberty. The people of Tranmere were ready to form, as their neighbours, at Ottoii, Birkenhead, and Wallasey had done, and he felt satisfied they would raise a body of men equal to any others. The Secretary then read over the donations already received, which amounted to £lB6 65., and stated that several gentlemen had given their names, without stat ing The effective members already num- LC =OUT tiered fifty-four. The CHAIRMAN then moved-" That volunteer rifle corps be now established, to be called the Tranmere Company of the Cheshire. Volunteer Rifles." Lieutenant Wont. seconded the motion ; and in doing so, observed that he believed the time was not far dis tant when each of them would be called to action, and not to play the soldier in the streets, but to meet the common foe. (Applause.) He therefore recommended all young men who thought that they' would merely have to adorn them - selves with a soldier's dress, not to join the corps. He believed that 'the men in the company to which he belonged were ready to defend their country, their wives, and their homes. (Hear, and applause.) They were only called upon to do the duty which the Almighty called them to do. He thought it the duty of the men to volunteer, and the women to give them everyencouragement to do so. ' The resolution was unanimously adopted. Ensign CoNwA.' , / being called upon, was greeted with applause. He said he felt proud to belong to the First Cheshire Company, for it was in Birkenhead that the movement commenced, before there was a whisper or a murmur of it elsewhere. They had as yet shed no blood; but they had gained two great victories. The first was peace and security. What they had done would tend far more to that end than the battles of Magenta and Solferino. The second victory was that they had swayed the iron will of the man who ruled France. Let the people reflect on these two victories, and it wouldibe found that the volunteers had done more than all that they . had cost in expenses or trouble. He concluded 'by moving " That a subscription list be opened to raise' a fund for equipping the effective members of this corps, to which all members and the public at large are invited to subscribe." Mr. B. HAMAN! seconded the resolution. He said a proposition had been made that England and France Should disarm ; but that proposition could not . be carried . out, because the position of the two coun tries was as different as possible. England was not armed, in tForern nationalrc France, te egs,eunawsrehd: ofwhen n such .the chhe a W p o r r o d p o therefore ; s t saidno and e s l 4r as e leep:'' if the volunteers were disarmed, • England would n itu i h h a eie V ini e ptt iraaobmpooeusi shouldti t i 3 o o n , oCo was,o of a one-sidedr e g ar army, affair. an d about T heG s o o v , e o n 0 . guarantee T hfeoirr ease. was i m n a a d r e m , i C t a vr tc o h uld it ' b waz a should be "ready—aye ready," and with 300,000 rifle men. , fo . i. s h a h e y e r Ike would say to them in the words of Cromwell, a Fear piod, and keep Your powder '." He 'concluded by seconding the Motion; which 'was agreed to. Mr. RICHARD GASKILL, member of the Oxton corps, moved'" That the compulsory subscription for the Corps members, whether effective or otherwise, 'he ftF"O' l "ighineas, payable in advance, bat the majority \,:f members will have power to alter the terms'of menibership at any time they tbink fit." H e knew from experience that it was the greatest benefit possible for young men to join a rifle corps, as it saved both time and mo ney. When a friend asked him t o go out to spend, an evening, he always said that lie was a rifleman,, and ,that .served the purpose, whetteiik 'the GOvernment only required of him to be out one evening in.the 'week; and by that 'Means both' his time and his money, were *saved. (Laughter, .and hear, hear.) The Rev. "Mr. WILLINCK seconded the motion, which was a dqpted. - Mr. FINLAYSON moved the following ,resolutton„ which was seconded by Mr GEORGE LLOYD :--" That a committee of fifteen, with' power to add to thiti_, number, be now named—nine trOm the effective . members, and six from the subScriberS to the fund, who shall have power 141 receive. subscriptions to malu all neccssary: arrange ments for. commencing 'drill, and having "- - ad if I enrolled at the - earliest possible time ) draw up rules Ly ; arid to take for, the api;;;alOftie inember. rel iniinrr'arT. , he a nagem_ of ti This having bee ChairMan,'ana the meetir d elsewhe He won& )y ,t state of GT( was cor
