Mr. T. J. Dow ma reed a paper on "The Predatory In-
stinct of Mae, and the Principle of Exchange considered in
relation to the Science of Political Economy.'
Mr. JOSX TAATWIA, 114•00041, Edinburgh, reed • paper
on " Life Aeserance ; its amenity and advantaps." It
wee apparent, an the slighted scesidemtiso, that while in-
, saran= was as important matte to every one, it was pre-
eminently so to the comparatively poor. In their case it
seemed almost absolute necessity ; for if not the only way,
it seemed at least to be the best way of mewing for them-
selves in certain circumstances, and to those dependent on
them, a provision which would ward off the miseries of
want sad povedy.
The Rev. A. CLAN' read a paper " On the Social Condi-
din= of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland."

Hi lordship expressed his appreciation of the plan laid
down by Moss Hope. Governesses were not rewarded is
proportion with the blessings they confer.
The Rev. Mr. biotite also concurred, and appealed to
fathers and the benevolent in the oommunity to see Juana
dime to the governesses.
Mies L. Tworso read a paper on" Workhouse Inmates.*
Twenty-five years' experience of the Poor-law, and roast
satiates of pauperism, had shown that there were many
practical points upon which improvements could be made.
The labours of Jonas Hammy is improving the English
workhouses were adverted to. Previous to MO the mora-
lity in workhouses was positively frightful ; prisons were
often more comfortable than workhouses. The nurses had
frequently no qualifications bet physical strewth—had no
krowledge of the art of nursing—and became intoxicated
whenever they could procure drink.
Miss TWINING read • paper be Mies Cobbe on " Destitute
Incurables in Workhouses." The paper detailed
the painful position of incurables iu workhouses,
and suggested &greater amount of kindness and comfort.
Of the 80,000 who will this year die in England of car
stunption dopey. and cancer, there are tens of thousands
wearing away the last minutes el their agonies in the work-
house. The comforts proposed, though trilling, would
greatly alleviate suffering.
Mr. DOMAN Ms.L.their believed if women were taken into
all and may as. of oar public institutions it would be
better fOrall. Having had considerable experience iu public
instantiate, hospitals, de., he was struck with the want of
administrative sad superintending women.

could be neglected in a Christian land.
The section then adjourned.

BANQUET Dl THE CITY HALL.
In the evening, a pond Magnet of the members and
associates took place in the City Hall. The body of the
hell was crowded by a brilliant assembly—the ladles being
seated at table along with the gentlemen. The pilgrimx

" Santa Maria, Sept. 7.1.
" The repulse volatilised by Garibaldi' troops on Wednes-
day may and probably will he retrieved by future successes ;

The Hon. Admiral Doncomaa, M.P., remoaded on the

The LORD MAYOR then announced that he was about to
cal upon the Earl de Grey sad Ripon to propose the toast
of the e‘eniag—" The Volunteers of Yorkshire." (Loud
and prolonged cheering.)
Rad De Gary and throe, in proposing the toast, said he
bed been requested to propene to them a toast, which he
should offer with the utmost satisfaction, and which, he
waa confident, they would drink with the greatest gra-
tification and plosion. It was "The health of the
Volunteers of Yorkshire." (Loud cheers.) The eight
which they had witnessed that afternoon fully proved that
the volunteers of this our great county were not un-
worthy of the county's. reputation, sad that they were
fit to sustain its true position said character. (Cheers.)
He was happy to learn, iron his distinguished and gallant
friend, Sir George Wetherell, who reviewed the troops on
this occasion—sad who, be it remembered, had had greater
opportunities than any other officer in this country of
Es
what was the character of the volunteers of
DUE heringlese present on meadow of this, de-
scription in different parts of the country he (Earl de
Grey and Ripon) DM told by Sir George Wetherell that
what be had witnessed that day had given him the
greatest safiefaction, and that be was especially
struck with the character of the corps he saw before
hint—bow Are were the men, and how well trained
were the officers. (Applause.) And if they considered
what lied been the history and what the character of QM
mese movement, be thought they must all be convinced
that it was one of the most remarkable which had ever
taken place in this coustry. I believe its effect has been a
valuable—a must valuable—a most important guarantee to
the peace of the world. It Is, therefore, all the more ne•
century that it should be hest*, in order that it may not be
said by the other nations of Ramps, " Oh, yes, it is all very
fine, under excitement, to raise this great army of 150,000
men, but when that excitement has passed over it will
mak away like mow before the man." (Hear, bear.)
Remembert cur great object new is te give 'perma-
nence to the thing. Further, let me my, that that per.
manence depends more than upon anything else upon the
one simple matter of economy, for it the movement is to
be uneeceeserily expensive it carnet be permanent. (Hear,
hear.) The government has done much to forward, eo
far as it could, this greet movement, but it is the very
essence of this movement that it should he voluntary.—
that it should out be expensive to the country and the
people at large. If it were it would change its nature.
It would eo longer have ties' chains upon our
admiration and respect which it now commauda,
and therefore, whether government is able to do more
than what it has done or not, it still, in the main,
rase, in a financial respect, upon the volunteers themselves.
(Load cheers.) The first thing, then, we must look to—and
we, in Yorkshire, generally understand questions of
finance—is to nee that the fund. of the cause are hushauded,
that not a shilling is spent without necessity. (Hear,
hear.) As in this year, so In future years, large demands
will be made *pan the volantears. Gentleness, I trust you
will excuse me for having touched upon this portico of
the question—(beer)—because however proud we may be
of the sight cos have witnessed today, and those other
aighte which bays been *teased. is other parts of the
comity, from that great and lorious spectacle which woe
whammed in Hyde Park—the first of this peens of
reviews—every truolteepted Engliehman must feel that of
necemity this volunteer force must be made a permanent
addition to the military strength of this great country. It
is because L believe that this will be the cue thee I pospoes
to this Lest with the utmost pleasure • and becausel
believe, as his grace the archbishop has truly said that this
is a movement which is to be essentially peaceful in its elm-
tarter. (Applause.) In conclusion, he expressed his firm
belief that thoeld a rash adventurer attempt to Weston
oar shores, we might rely with confidence and security
upon the seal, theintelligenee, and the military azdeur of
the Yorkshire volunteers. The noble earl resumed hie seat
amidst deafening applause.
LieUteDIRM.OOlODel SANCELBOW, of the East York Artil-
lery, responded, and urged that the volunteer movement
should be partially suppurted by contributions from the
public ratite.
J. P. 11. Weerintan, H.q., M.P., proposed "The House
of Peers."
Earl FITZWILLIAM was loudly cheered in rising to
return thanks. He said, in meeting for the first time
his fellow-countrymen is the ancient city of York, his
desire was rather to have sat and heard what was said
than to have been called upon to return thanks for the
House of Peers, a toast which bad bean so kindly proposed
by Mr. Weetheed, and which the company bed drutak mso
enthusiastic • manner. (Cheers.) He could say little in
behalf of the Home of Peers, but his earnest hops was that
the Lards would be judged by their actions sad not by
their wards—Omer, bear)—cod that they would win and
secure the good esteem of their countrymen. (Cheers.)
Some other tomato were proposed, and the party separated
about 11 o'clock.

STANTOZZIUMIZ Ruler VOLONTIZZIL—On Friday
a mad banquet was gives to Lord Methadon' Lord-Lieu-
tenant of the county, by the officers of the Staffordshire
Rifle Volunteers. The banquet took place in the Shire Hall,
Stafford, and the Earl of Dartmouth presided. In replying
to • feast in his honour Lord Ha be
trton said—Gentlemen, I
have this day bad an opportunity of talking to you upon
matters of public interest : and I was extremely glad to re-
oeive your directions to make a ',presentation to the Seem-
tary for War of the very unsatisfactory state of the means at
present existing for giving histruetion in musketry. At pre-
sent Hytheis the only place at which the instruction is given,
and I know that there are onions who have waited a year
before their turn to receive instruction came. It is true
that drill sergeases may be found to ivatruct companies;
bat how is the captain to kpow that the sargeaut teaches
the company correctly unless the captain himself is com-
petent to form an opinion ? I shall with great prompti-
tude avail myself el your authority to make a represen-
tation to the Secretary of State upon this subject. I
nuld ask you to bear in mind, and let the public beer in
mind, that 500 years lave elapsed since the eoestry was
Mewled. Should it be eueseednUy invaded again she will
as jaggy be the England which she now is, her
prestige will be gone, her greet colonial empire will be
wrested ikon hm, and tier important military poste for the
protection of that empire will be destroyed ; most die-
greesful terms of capitulation will be inipowd upon us if
the seamy succeed ; in short, the degradation of the ermatry
will be se complete—so certain is it that she would be re-
duced to a second-rate power, that no sacrifice, not even
that of fortune and life itself, ought to be considered too
great for the prevention of misfortunes ea overwhelm*.
(Cheers and applause.) His lordship concluded by propmang
" Prosperity to the Volunteer Forces of the Oouotry.
