prZetiin by the Marin* of Wagtail-24-r, who stated
that there were now 33 Me serpostablithed in the county
and six brigades of artillery, melt* together a force con-
siderably upwards of 2,01:0 ass.,
The Right lion. W. K. Clurenwee, M.P., on rising to
propose the next Mast, wee waved with tremendous cheer-
ing. He said-The Lord-Lieutenant of the county bee
alluded to the uncertain state of public attain, andshe has,
with the utmost lawless, ghee credit to me for knowing
more opm that subject than any one else in thin
room. I am not going to undertake auguries or pro-
phecies As I have said, I believe that England is strong
we eliemener and reputation at this moment, and Is ware
from all danger that might threaten her-(hest, hear)-
but at the same time I admit, in answer to that appeal, and
without pretending to superiority of knowledge, that Europe
his arrived at • critical period of her history. Without
entering into utopian theories, which perhaps ten years ago
too much prevailed amongst us. I for one do hope that, us
some respects at least, the vaunted progress of the 19th cen-
tury is a reality, and that many at least of the muses of vain,
foolish, and wicked wan that have heretofore desolated the
earth are sow losing their command over the heorte and
minds of men, and I think it • satisfactory subject of re-
flection for Engliahmen, if we be right in the opinion that
some of us hold, that commerce-in which this country
has be the tadard•bearer to the world-has higher
and nobler Mins than the mere increase of wealth,
that it carries with it whitbenoever it goes a mission
of and that it Is destined to be a bond of moral
nod Sala union to mankind m well as the means cd M-
amba our command over material enjoyments. But
eves if this be so, and even if Befriend be strong, I my this
is a period when It is requisite that she should be strong.
We cameos look to the south of without seeing that
there are there at work elements of danger with respect to
whirl it is most important that those great powers that
sway in the main the destinies of Europe should be able to
exercise a qualifying and beneficial influence. We have
seen during the present year • war in progress in lialy-a
war, gentlemen, with respect to which I for one am bound
to say that I believe every friend of peace need look upon
it, if sot with satisfaction, yet at least with this conviction,
that the struggle* of a gallant country to free itself
from long oppression deserve the sympathy of men,
and deserve, above all others in Europe, the sym-
pathies of Englishmen. (Loud applause.) Let me, sir,
add thus much. As the rifles that - we have seen today,
as the uniforms that are now before us, as all this
splendour of military parade really aims at the security and
peace of man, such is the aim el the war is Italy-(ond
applause)-and if, as I trust may be the case, it both*
mensal of Providence that that country shall soon become •
free and • united nation, this, Wed, I think we acquire
fawn the very war that is now in proper-a new guarantee
for the permanent and solid peace of Europe. (Applause.)
There is, indeed, such a thing as • hollow and a *whereas
peace, and that mce is treacherous and hollow which is
only maintained the armed force of the stranger trampling
epee the narks men and talking of order and of law,
When in point of fact he is himself the greatest violator of
Wh. (Loud applies's.) Now, gentlemen, I rejoin to think
that youyourselves have contributed, perhaps more than
every one of you may have reflected on, to the prosperous
progress of that great national struggle., (Hear, he
I don't mean merely because England set the)
example which after nearly two centuries Italy is
following-for in 1688, upon provocation sufficient indeed,
but not one-hundredth part of the provocatioa that that
people has endured, you took into your own hands the set-
tlemeet of your own affairs, and established a precedent to
which she in entitled to appeal, and you will not refuse her
eitelleage-(applause)-but, 84, more than this, you have
eastributed to the settlement of Italy by helping to make
strong-(hear, hear)-at a time when, as every
I knows, the moral influence of England has hereupon
the whole the steadiest and the firmest support sad the
mostabundaut source of brotherly sympathy upon which
Italy could count throughout the length and breadth of
Europe. (Hear, hear.) I em afraid, gentlemen, the time
will come when we shall hear again of a race, of a I
kingdom, of • people who have been the cause
to us in former times of no small effort, and no small
learilke - I mean our friends the Turks. You did
by enormous efforts and enormous sacrifices in a war -I
width was sheet, , and costly in • degree beyond
all pm ellel-flurepe did put a curb upon gigantic scheme.
of teethe' ambition • but at the tome time I think it would
bethweivieg weave were we to attempt to overlook the
feet that the repression of Russia was not the regeneration
el Tart, and that Europe has still much to do in that
=the globe before the causes can be removed and
hind horizon cleared. (Applause.) What are the
questions that will arise in regard to that gigantic subject,
when and how they will arise, on whose side you may be
found end who may be against yea, I know not : but for
the sake of those brotherly interests that prevail among
men-for the sake of the enormous boons that it is in the
power of • well-constituted country to confer upon
nations less happy-I for my part rejoice that,
at • time when the elements of danger are rife in Europe,
and the greatest questions steed for solution, that
at • time like that in particular England should
both morally and physically be strong. The development
of streagth of which we see here a symbol and • part is of
that description which is peculiarly English. It is most
true, I think, as has well been mid, that he who reckons
the volunteers as adding • force of 160,000 or 170,000 to
the military strength of the country takes a view of what
they have been, of what they will do, of what they may be,
and of what they are, that is totally inadequate to the
truth of the ease. It is not in their numbers that we are
to see their real character ; for, in the first place, we well
know that if the call of danger, if the sound of danger
were really heard, if the call of duty Came upon you,
for every volunteer we now see before us this very city
itself would yield ten, and the multitude* that are en-
rolled at this moment would be • handful compared
with those who would be ready to obey the behests of
their country. (Loud applause.) But, again, let them
remember, if ever there was • movement which strictly
damned the character of • spontaneous
if ever there were volunteers that were volunteer indeed,
they are those whom I now see before me. (Applause.)
Not only was it not compulsion, but it was not encourage-
Remit that created this great force. (Hear, bear.) I my se
the more pertisularly bemuse it implies blame to no men.
Ullman even • nand discretion upon the part of than
wheat the time fumed the executive government of the
wssby, that ler many months after the formation of this
mega bspm eemeely a sign of encouragement was ex-
lathed to them on the part of the ministers of the Crowe.
I my it was the duty of the ministers of the Crown to leave
timeliest manifestations for • time to themselves, in order
SW they might ascertain that they were truly
Weems, that that they were genuine that they came strait.
from the heart and the Intelligenceof the people •
muse, if, on the contrery, the influence of the throne
and the legislature had been brought to bear upon those
first infant
_symptoms, they would have taken-oh ! how
much would they have taken-both from the grace
and the strength of this movement. (Bear, bear.)
It was right that in • nation which is governed after all by
the national will-it wee right that in • nation where the
law and the throne and the institutions of the country rest
upon the firm and intelligent convictions of the community
-it was right that in such •• nation uthat it should be left
to the people themselves to add tenfold to the value of the
sacrifices they were making, by making those sacrifices not
is obedience to • factious or to an exterior authority, but to
the free and spontaneous movement of their own under-
standings and of their own hearts. (Applause.) And now,
(mamma, there was as alluaion-I think by my gallant
friend Colonel Wilbraham-to the necessity of providing
premiums for those competitions which have been so meld
In stimulating the movement of the volunteers and in
organising the form; and he or Captain Humberston-I
don't kuow which--said he hoped they would be pro.
vided, either from private resources or from the
public purse. Well, as between those two sources
of supply, I must confess that I for one have
• very great preference for the former. ("Hear,
hear," and kinghter.) I don't believe that if the public
pares bad bees very freely opened in the first instance this
movement ever would have attained either its material ex-
I tension or its high moral character. There can be no ail-
! terrace of opinion, I am sure, between us about this matter.
' All that is requisite to give solidity and permission to this
movement will bow, I ant certain, be freely and gladly dam

great iutitmtim. I wit not say, sir, that I hope you will
again sneweon us some yeses limn" when again occupying
with the game dignity the civic chair. We may notalways be
so fortunate as we are te-day ; but, whoever be the 11114
magistrate of this city, this at least we may be permitted to
hope, that he will find that when the severe test of time is
-applied to the merged: sentiments of the present moment
they will bear that test—(bear, hear)—and that not in
1810 wily. but for many years to oorne, you, sod
those who form your eoble fellowship throughout the land,
will continue to give, as you give us now, no note of der:l-
ame to other countries, ncrvgirptom of • tendency to dis-
regard or undervalue the te of those who inhabit other
countries, but • determination to defend your own rights,
to maintain and to hand down to your children what you
have received from your fathers, and to afford convincing
proof to the world that, even amidst those pursuits of
pence which have raised this country to so remarkable an
elevation, you still are prepared to remember in case of
need what has made your fathers famous, that the heart of
England still beats within your bosoms, and that you intend
that she shall never derogate as from the other fruits so
from the martial fame and the heroic bravery of her former
years. (Loud cheering, amidst which the right hon. gentle-
. min resumed his seat.)
Lord Onoentison, M.P., responded to the toast, and
several other toast. followed.
The dinner was followed by a volunteer ball, held in the
Name room, commencing at 8 o'clock.

THE ao►EBPMNAT AND THE WHITWORTH
CANNON.

The Maneheder Guardian states that Mr. Whit-
worth is making some of bis rifled cannon for the English
governmeat, sad also that others are being made in the
Woolwich factory. This step of the authorities did not
result from the now celebrated trial of the Whitworth rifle
at Vincennes; recently, or the equally celebrated interview
at St. Cloud between the inventor and the Emperor, upon
the subject of the French patent for the manufacture of the
cannon as well as the ride. The instructions under
width Mr. Whitworth is acting followed closely upon
the presentation of the report ma to the cannon,
oy the scientific calms who attended the trials upon
the Southport beach at the end of July. Those officers
included Colonel St. George, President of the
Ordnance Se Committee ; Colonel Bingham, for the
Hone Guards, and Captain Herbert for the Admiralty.
Their report to the Admiralty was, our contemporary
hie reason to believe, spethilly favourable as to the
precision, great range, and general " handiness" of the
Whitworth cannon • but it was not favourable as regarded
the adoption of the Iresch-loading system, which was con-
demned as a principle not desirable to be used on shipboard,
although Mr. Whitworth's plan was approved of in itself.
The result is that Mr. Whitworth is now manufacturing, in
I Manchester, some 80Ib. muzzle-loaders for the Admiralty.
The change in the machinery used at Woolwich
for the Armstrong gun, in order to fit it for
its new work, is very slight and simple.
At Woolwich, the experiment in baud is the making of a
few 80.poeaders for the Admiralty ; but the machinery is
already converted," as far as is necesaary, and it is not
improbable that a 12.-lb cannon will soon be sent to the
Arsenal from Manchester, as a sample for a field battery.
Mr. Whitworth has from the first stated, and hoe often
exemplified, that his cannon was as efficient aa a muzzle-
loader as when loaded at the breech by means of his
very simple and very strong arrangements for the
purpose. The hexagonal shot passes from the muz-
zle to the breech with perfect ease ; there will still be the
peat advantage of the cannon never requiring to be
sponged
out ; and consequently as •mere matter of speed of
firing, the muzzle-leading SO-pounder will be as effective
the breech-loader with which suck admirable practice
was made at Southport, and such penetrating and smashing
week was done against the armour-plated sides of the
Trusty at the Nore. With muzzle-loaders , the friction
fuse will be in the usual place at the top of the breech, in-
' stead of in the centre of its end ; and thus will be at once
obviated the shooting backwards of the friction tube. This
supposed objection loss not influenced the Admiralty, who
object to breech-loaders almost wholly from the conviction
that their use would fill the 'tween decks with smoke
much more densely than is the case with muzzle-loaders.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.

TO-MORROW.

RETAMBESTATION 01 SOUTHWAILL—Yesterday
evening the fact of the death of Sir Charles Napier spread
with great rapidity throughout the whole °, the borough of
Southwark, which the gallant mineral has represented
several years, and meetings of leaders of party in the various
districts were called for the purpose of considering the selec-
tion of • successor. Amongst the advanced liberals • strung
desire has been manifested to invite Mr. Aptley Follett to
come forward. He was for • long time one of the members
for the borough, but at the lest election sustained a defeat
in consequence of some connexion lie had bad with the
Royal British Bank, but from all blame in reference to
which he had been judicially absolved. On that occasion
(May, 1859) the numbers were :—Fcr Sir Charles Napier,
' 3,991 ; Mr. John Locke, Q.C., 3,647 •, Mr. Follett, 2,499 ;
Mr. Lock*, the new candidate, thus defeating Mr. Follett
by 1,148 votes. It has been arranged that • deputation
thrill wait upon Sir. Pellett to ascertain his views upon the
subject. Mr. Follett is • dissenter from the established
church, and one of the most enthusiastic advocates at non-
conformist principles in the metropolis. Another section
of the liberal party in Southwark appear anxious to secure
the services of Mr. Thomas Chambers, the Common Ser-
jeant of the city of London, to whom it is said the corpora-
Von would gives most strenuous sapport. Other names
which were freely mentioned last night are those of Mr.
Alderman Humphery, also • large owner of property is
Soothwark, and Mr. Wilkinson, formerly member for Lan-
bath. Up to • lase hour last evening nothing definite had
transpired in reference to the movements of the conserve-
, ties party.

THE SALMON FITOLMER I/WWII:SM.—The commis-
sioners appointed to inquire into the state and prospects of
our salmon %Iberia began their labours on Monday at New-
castle. The first witness examined was Mr. 0.17. lawr,
meretary to a salmon tishery commission appointed in the year
1842, who we. of opinion that the act worked beneficially,
but the commission was hampered by want of funds. Three
fishermen gave corroborative evidence, as did also Mr. G. C.
Atkinson, of W)lam, who thought greet improvements
might be effected at a moderate expense. Other witnesses
were examined, and the commissioners concluded their
sitting shortly after four o'clock, having taken all the evi-
dence they deemed necessary concerning a river which for-
merly teemed with salmon, but which, by the extension of
chemical and other mnnufactories, has fallen into small
im-
portanos.—Neuratk Chronicle.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 7.

THE announcement in the Metalsar that the
time will be anticipated by several months when
the new duties on imported iron and imported
sugar are to come into operation, may justly be
regarded not only as an additional proof of the
sincerity of the French Government regarding the
Commercial Treaty, but likewise as a new verdict
of public opinion in Franco in favour of an en-
lightened policy of trade. The Imperial Ordon-
nanco in this instance is no arbitrary exercise of
executive power ; it may more fitly be termed the
giving of judgment after due deliberation, and
the careful summing-up of the various opinions
on the question pronounced publicly pre and con
by the Chambers of Commerce throughout the
Empire. The balance of opinions so expressed has
now been definitively struck by the administrative
head of the State. The Treaty provided that in
the case of certain important classes of imports the
period for the inauguration of the reduced tariff
shoal be fixed by Imperial decree ; but the
EMPEROR hae wisely preferred to consult the
recognised juries of industry, and to be con-
Rnt to abide by the moral preponderance of
their decisions- The more clear-sighted men
of business in France have appreciated nor-
redly the advantage of being permitted to escape
a protracted period of transition, and have de-
manded as the greater benefit that the new scale of
customs duties should take effect as speedily as
possible. The manliness and the shrewdness of
this determination on the part of our neighbours
will commend itself to every man of sense and sa-
gacity on this aide of the ChanneL It is a testi-
mony not to be mistaken that commercial enter-
prise in France is passing out of its nonage, and
coming to years of maturity. We heartily rejoice
at it, for the sake of our neighbours a well as for
our own ; for we know well that so long as peace
is happily preserved between us, the more thriving
and prosperous they are, the better customers
they will be. This is the difference between an
over-reached dependency and a free and equal
ally, between an impoverished victim and a rich
friend, between India and the United States. The
one is scarcely worth retaining ; the value of the
other is beyond an count.

But this is not the only piece of intelligence of
a gratifying character that has lately reached us
with reference to the Commercial Treaty. COrtili-
durable misgivings at the outset prevailed as to
the practical working of the system of specific
duties on linens and linen yams. From the na-
ture of both, but more especially of the latter, it
was obviously impossible to fix on any single rate
of charge that would not be practically a burlesque
upon the name or notion of an average. The value
of a pound weight of thread varies perhaps more,
according to its coarseness or fineness, than that of
any other article of merchandise that is capable of
being measured by weight. The first rough draft of
the Treaty seemed to intimate that what was called
a medium figure should be taken, and that an im-
post vaguely limited to 30 per cent should be
levied on all the product!' of our spinning mills
entering France. But it was truly pointed
out by our manufacturers that such a mode
of proceeding was not merely clumsy in
its very conception, but practically repugnant
to every idea ou which the Treaty was based ; for
while the higher qualities of yarn and the Suer
kinds et linen would be admitted by the scale, the
bulkier and more serviceable descriptions would be
excluded altogether. The course of trade would
thus be arbitrarily directed, nay, coerced ; while
the benefit intruded for the masa of the commu-
nity would be altogether frustrated. The investi-
gations, however, and comparison of views which
have taken place during the autumn, under the
auspices of M. Roy sea and Mr. Cosines, have
cleared away many of the mists with which the
improved interchange of benefits between the two
countries was originally clouded. A uniform
standard of fiscal charge on fabrics differing so
widely in everything but the raw material of
which they are composed and their generic name
has been finally abandoned, and instead thereof a
classification has been agreed to with which our
yarn spinners and lineu weavers will probably be
well content. The scheme about to be embodied
in the schedules appended to the Treaty substan-
tially accords with the suggestions submitted for
approval by the deputation to Paris sent from Bel-
fast. From a letter to the Northern from
Mr. Mrsitou.sxe, a member of one of the
wealthiest and most enterprising firms engaged in
this species of iudustry, we gather that a sixfold
clarification of yarns and • sevenfold zhiesifica-
bon of linens have been definitively adopted ; and
that a specific duty is to be levied of ten per cent.
on the former and fifteen per cent. on the latter,
with which the writer, a highly competent judge,
gives us to understand that he is fully satisfied.
The communication rests upon the authority of
Mr. Cusuxs, whose unwearied diligence in the
completion of the greet work he undertook twelve
months ago entitles him to the gratitude of the
community whose interests be ban so materially
served.

We must say we think it is nearly time for the
outnumbered defenders of senseless prejudice to
give up further resistance to the truth respecting
this much debated Treaty. Like the ill-fated gar-
rison of the Taku Forts, they have stood their
ground with an obstinacy and sell-devotion almost
heroic. They hara wasted no end of ammunition
in the discharge of their gingala, and a superduity
of skill and patience in the discharge of their anti-
quated arrows. But it has been all to no purpose.
slowly and steadily their powers of resistance and
of annoyance have been mowed down by the un-
erring aim of those whom they vainly arrayed
themselves ; and for their own sakes it
wore better that they made an eel cf the abortive

relations of the three Princes present, and to con-
cert the principles for the regulation of their con-
duct in view of certain eventualities.

Count Rechberg, without entering upon any
details as to the nature of the arrangements con-
eluded, announces that a perfect understanding was
established.

He, however, makes it clearly understood that
non-intervention in the affairs of Italy was agreed
upon, and that, although anxious to support the
principles of order aad European equilibrium, the
three Northern Courts will do nothing which might
provoke a war.
