to be pssionate, and loses in this respect some of
the power which he might otherwise Nvied over

a miEcellaneous multitude, he makes amends for
the defect, if it be one, by a wealth of illustration
and a cogency of argument that show the full mind

and the trained intellect, and compel admiration if

they do not conviction. He has, as is well
known, been among the most rabid of the supporters
of the war, though he has never been much of a

friend to the Government by whose agencies it has
been conducted. In the dmys when the Democrats

governed the country, and when the idea of a dis-
ruption of the Union was scouted alike by the

Northern and the Southern leaders of that long

dominant party, ho did not hesitate to proclaim
that separation was preferable to the continuance of
slavery. Long after the outbreak of the war he
confessed that for 19 years he had been a dis,-
Unionist and a Secessionist. His sole governing
idea has been the scandid, the wrong, the horror,
the iniquity of slavery, for the destruction of which

he would cheerfully have sacrificed the integrity of
the Republic, and consented to split the country
into a heptarchy. Yet as soon as his party came
into power he—so cool, so steadfast, and so liberal
—was carried away by the madness of his country-
men, clamoured for the restoration of the Union,
which he had denounced and despised as rotten and

unnatural, and spoke and acted as if the preserva-
tion of the freedom of the North were not worth a
thought. Events, however, have wrought a change
in hie mind. The preacher of war has suddenly be-
come the apostle of peace. The philanthropy in
which he was nurtured hes reasserted its power to

TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS.

Mr. SCULLY asked the President of the Board of Trade
when he expected that the returns as to transatlantic
steamers, ordered en the 14th of March last, would be laid
before the house.

Mr. M. GIBSON said that he had made inquiries, and
he believed that, although great delay had necessarily taken
place, the returns would be ready in about a week.

Mr TOB,REIN.TS asked the President of the Beard of
Trade when it was probable that the works at Portp arick
harbour, now being carried out under direction of the Go-
vernment, would be completed . And, in the event of much
further delay occurring in tb.o completion of the works
whether the Government would take into consideration the
propriety of having the mails conveyed to and from the
North of Ireland via Stranraer and Larne.

Mr M. GIBSON said that the works in question were in
progress, but it was not probable that they would be com-
pleted during the present year. With regard to the second
question. it had not been considered advisable to adopt any
such temporary service as that alluded to.

THE BRADFORD RESERVOIRS.

Mr FERRAND asked the Secretary of State for the
Homo Department if he was aware by whom Mr Rawlin-
son's report on the Bradford reservoirs was last week given
to the Bradford corporation and the local press, when it has
not yet been printed and delivered to members of the House
of Commons

Sir G. GREY repeated what he had previously stated,
that no unnecessary delay would take place in laying the
report on the table of the house, but it was requisite that it
should be rendered as complete as possible.
DISTINGUISHING FLAGS FOR MERCHANT

SHIPS.

Mr. HORSFALL asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether any decision had been come to with reference to
the terms on which a distinguishing flag might be hot ne by
merchant ships commanded by officers of the Royal Naval
Reserve, partially armed and manned by Royal Naval Re-
serve semen.

Lord C. PAGET said that at prasent no decision had
been come to on the subject.

livered a lecture "On Moll6re and French Comedy," hav-
ing peculiar regard to the life and character of the great
French dramatist, and the manners of the time in which he
lived, Commencing by imitating Plautus, Mohere after-
wards took for his materials the foibles of society in "Lea
Precieuses Ridicules," and the more serious and crying
evil of the age in " Tartuffe," passing in review "Le
Misanthrope," La Malade Icas.ginaire," and other produc-
tions by this great dramatist. The lecturer pronounced

FRANCE.

The Senate held a sitting yesterday, M. Troplong
in the chair. A number of bills were brought up
from the other Chamber. The President expressed
the deep regret of the Senate for the death of
the Duke of Malakoff. The bill calling for a credit
of 2,000,000 fr. for the purchase of ground and mili-
tary works, and that demanding 5,800,000 fr. for
the construction and arrangement of the manufacture
of arms at St. Etienne, were authorised to be pro-
mulgated ; also, a great number of local measures.
The rest of the day was devoted to the hearing of
reports on petitions, in general without any great
interest.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,

The 38th annual meeting of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held at St. James's-
hall, Regent-street, yesterday, and was attended by a large
and fashionable audience. Among those on the platform
besides the Earl of Harrowby, who presided, were his Ex-
cellency the Italian Ambassador, the Nlarquis of Townsend,
Lady Dorothy Neville, Sir James Buller East, General
James Sir John Scott Lillie, Mr Frank Backland, Mr Felix
Ladbrode, the Rev. Prebendary Jackson, Dr Frazer, the
Rev. Mr Oxenden, kc. Mr Colam, the secretary, read the
report, which, after announcing the acquisition to the
Council of Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, and the efforts
which had been made to obtain an enactment in Italy for
the protection of animals, stated that during the past year
promising branches had been established at Leicester, York,
Reading, Rochester, and Chatham. The council announced
that they were about to offer a premium of £5O for an essay
against vivisection in England, and I,ooof. for a similar one
in the French language, which they hoped would continue
the agitation against that practice. During the past year the
Council had prosecuted upwards of 1,000 offenders to con-
viction, and had sustained only seven dismissals. The
officers had performed duty in 18 countries, besides attend-
ing fairs and visiting the canal banks, in addition to the
London suburban districts and the general metropolitan duty
At the Copenhagen market four officers constantly attended.
Some of the offences punished were of a moat horrible char-
acter, and many were too disgusting to be described in de-
tail. In various parts of the country lectures had been
delivered on kindness to animals, and schools had been
visited for the purpose of inculcating the principles of
the society upon children, while many sermons had been
preached in favour of its objects. The committee were
about to propose a plan for giving rewards to persons
whose uniform good treatment of animals may merit some
mark of distinction. They announced a premium of £5O
offered for an improved vermin trap, which should super-
sede the toothed steel trap now in use, and at the same time
be tortureless. Upwards ot 200 models had been received,
and were on that occasion on view, but no adjudication had
yet taken place. They reported a favourable decision by
Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Weed, in the Court of Chan
, eery, in favour of a legacy left to the society of £lO,OOO, and
, which had been contested by the residuary lee atee, and

Frenchman and Silverloeks, the latter being joined shortly
after by Bunch, who got badly off. At the Stand the latter

cleverly by a length, Anti-Macassar defeating Le Bearnais
by a neck for second, the latter finishing a length and a half
