The annual dinner given by the commanding
officer of the Stroud Volunteer Corps took place on Thera-
day night, when there was • large gathering, who were
attracted principally to hear the Right Hon. E. HOMMIIII.
M.P. for the borough, who attended to distribute some
prizes which be had offered.
Mr. BOWMAN, in responding for the toast of the donors of
prizes, said, after some teed allasioes— I always tate pride
to myself that I was one of the first to orientate and promote
and encourage in every way the volunteer system. (amen.)
We all remember the public feeling by which the volunteer
movement was celled forth. We remember the appreben-
Dieel which existed in many mea's minds. and we remember
that in many others who felt no apprehension still there
the
was a feeling of regret that the voice of England in
councils of Europe, upon which the tranquillity of the
world &weeded, was insigoificent sod uniodneatiel abroad,
because we were known to be weak and vulnerable at
home. Now we must remember that the red batiks of
Europe are fought not by armrest on the battle-field, bet in
the cabinets of ministers. It is the diplomatist that is the
advanced guard of armies. It is only wheel the diplo-
matist retiree from the field, foiled and vanquished, that
the military are called in to the briquet of death, to
accomplish by brute fora, by bloodshed, by cersette
that which in as eslighteud ago, in an age of Chridiasity,
ought to be accomplished in a purer and more peaceful
spirit. (Cheer'.) You all remember that memorable
day when the Queen reviewed her volunteer army
in Hyde-park that day ea which she was gobbled
to tell the nation that a quarter of a million of the
stoutest of her subjects bad enrolled themselves for the
defence of their satire mil ; frees that day Elrod bad

from that day the peace of Baglend--that her pewee, thee ,
her inflame, her peace-preserving ter--bee bees multi'
plied, toss extest that so one maid have theeght to have
been possible. We donors sow rash into war to redrew
grieraisces which are generally only aggravated by war ; but
we have muted. walrus fostered, we bale upheld , a Odin
opinion Is Europe which makes wars more difficult, which
makes tyranny and, injustice leas profitable: and it in the
strength and position width we have exhibited to garage
which has made that change, and secured that England
should still be the refuge of the unforteastlatleisa
asylum of every political exile—that she
be at home the refuge of all who me fiseing
from tyranny sad injustice, while abroad she
is the bold assertor of the principles of truth and freedom
—the bell „iesenesiator of that injustice end that
which was rampant in Europe many ye' ago, bit which
the moral iefluesee of Englead, backedar by her maimed
strength, has made now as dengerous for despots oath
(Cheers.) Well, gee-
used to be unfortunate far Engird.
Boman, that has bees the result of the volunteer move-
bid
ment, of which the people are very apt to lose sight, '
which we should, all bear is mind ; because I bold that*,
volunteer movement has been the greatest instrument f
or or
the preservation of the puce of Europe. (Hear, hear.)
far from beteg a warlike movement, I hold it to have beet
a peaceful add i Christian movement ; aod so far from tbe
ministers of peace steadies aloof from that movement, I
humor them when I us them eranieg forward co these
occasions. (Cheers.) And, geetlemen, well may we
congratulate ourselves now that a new era has arises.
The old era has gee*, but a new era bas come in. We
are standing to-night in a position of petal and prom-
perity, which, I think, we all of in felt to be perfectly
inexampled. I remember no time, throned a long pebb•
life. in which the commercial classes in Eoglaad were so
prosperous as now. I remember no time when our legisla-
tion was so sound, whet oar laws were better admisistered,
whee our people were more loyal, when our inetirartions
were more popular, and when all elutes in England, from
the highlest to the lowest, were more linked together is ODD
great hoed of brotherhood.(Cheers.) And. gthiltheelle I.

twelve years he had resided there, it had been his constant

be could safely aver that he never observed anything febbtn•
Ming a light that could be mistaken for that on T)neniouth

particularly when passing the irregularities oo the shore
about that spot ; therefore, it is probable that that might
saranot for the flashes alleged to have been seen at Soutar
by parties on Sunderland North Pier. He did
Dot think any one could go to the beach with
• lantern without being overhauled by the
coastguardsmeo, who kept • very sharp look out at that
spot. Mr. Nicholas Cooke, master of the steam tug Vigi.
hurtp, and Mr. PO/ASSOD &traders, master of the Tom Bowline,
deposed to baring seen lights exhibited on Whither° Steel,
which they believed were intended to decoy vessels. Captain
Jerome Major, of the schooner Test, of Southampton, which
went ashore on the 24th Nov. last, said he observed two
lights, which be first thought resembled those
from tat Tyne-
wo
mouth, but afterwards imagined them to proceed
vessels at sachor. On approachiog them, however, he
discovered that be had allowed hie vessel to run close
in shore, and she struck before he could bring her
round. Captain Charles Adams, of the brig Token, which
went ashore on 13th October, while running from Amsterdam
to Shields, said be first made the land about six in the
morning, when a little off Whitby, and all wont well

when be unfortuutely rap his vessel ashore at Whitburu.
When the vessel struck he saw a light brought along the
coast in that direction, and after being over his decks, was
taken away towards the village. Two cables attempted to
put off to his assistance, but were unable to dolifeboat no in con-

sequence of the force of the waves, and the

an hour after has own vessel struck, he observed
another one drawing rapidly in the same dir
ec-
tion,ec-
but he fortneatelr apprised tbe captain of
dener, through • fog trumpet, and she stood out to sea.
Mr. Cuthbert Hutchinson, who resided to the essieremest
house in Whither'', was in the habit of being on the shore
and on the sea all bones of the night, but bad never seen
any light likely to mislead homeward hound veseels. Mr.
J. lowland Hodge. pilot muter, said the Sanderlsod
pilots wished to make no further statements to what they
had already made, and declined to be examioed. They had
frequently stated, however, that they had seen a strange
lights at Whitburn for thirty years, but never so frequently
as durieg Unspent few menthe. They had been misled!),
it on many occasions, bat os oesrieg the coast to discern
whence it proceeded, had lost sight of it entirely. in
consequence of their repreeentatious, he had riddeu
over to Whitburn to try and unravel the mystery, but had
failed to discover any light likely to mislead • vessel.
Mr. Jerome, chief officer of the eoestgrutrds, observed
bright light in the direction of Whitburn or Tusedsy night
while walking Dear Roker battery, but on walking in that
direction it disappeared altogether. He had been beepers
