SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

THE LATE LORD PALMERSTON.
TIMES.—One of the most popular statesmen, one
of the kindliest gentleman, and one of the truest
Englishmen that ever filled the office of Premier is
to-day lost to the country. The news of Lord Pal-
merston's death will be received in every home
throughout these islands, from the palace to the cot-
tage, with a feeling like that of personal bereave-
ment. There is not a province in our vast colonial
empire, and there are few civilised nations in the
world, which will hear without an emotion of regret
that Lord Palmerston no longer guides the policy of
England. Never again will that familiar voice be
heard in the councils of Europe, or in the British
Senate, of which he almost seemed a part; never
again will that native gaiety of spirits enliven the
social circle in which he loved to move. The death
of no other subject could have left such a void in
the hearts of his countrymen, for no other has been
identified so long or so closely with our national life.
Born in the first year of Pitt's first Administration,
and someyears before the downfall of the old French
monarchy, he had witnessed the whole drama of
European politics iu the nineteenth century, and in
the most important scenes of it had taken a leading
part. He belonged to the age of Wellington and
Napoleon, of Nesselrode and Metternich, of Castle-
reagh and Talleyrand, of Liverpool and Canning,
no less than to our own. He was already in office,
as Secretary at War, when Mr. Gladstone was not
yet in his cradle, and four years before Lord Rus-
sell, then barely of age, was returned for Tavistock.
He continued to hold the same post under six Go-
vernments in succession, and for more than 20 years;
he was Foreign Secretary for more than 14 out of
the 20 years from 1831 to I.Bs4=and he had been a
member of every Cabinet, except those of Sir
Robert Peel and Lord Derby, since the accession
ofiMr. Canning to power. So extended and so
various an experience in State affairs is almost
without a parallel in history, and the vigour of
mind and body which enabled him to lead the
House of Commons when he had passed the age of
eighty, has certainly been given to very few in
ancient or modern times. He has left none like
him—none who can rally round him so many fol-
lowers, of various opinions, none who can give us so
happy a respite from the violence of party-warfare,
none who can bring to the work of statesmanship so
precious a store of recollections. It is impossible
not to feel that Lord Palmerston's death marks an
epoch in English politics. " The old order changeth,
yielding place to new." Other Ministers may carry
into successful effect organic reforms from which he
shrunk. Others may introduce a new spirit into
our foreign relations, and abandon the system of
secret diplomacy which he never failed to support.
Others may advise her Majesty with equal sagacity,
and sway the house of Commons with equal or
greater eloquence ' • but his place in the hearts of
the people will not be filled so easily. The name
of Lord Palmerston, once the terror of the Con-
tinent, will long be connected in the minds of
Englishmen with an epoch of unbroken peace and
unparalleled prosperity, and cherished together
with the brightest memories of the reign of Queen
Victoria.
HERALD.—The cold so heartily prayed for as a
safeguard against pestilence has come at last, and,
hardly here, has exacted a sacrifice in which every
Englishman bears a heavy part. The announcement
of the death of Lord Palmerston will be received
with universal regret, aggravated and intensified by
the suddenness with which the calamity has come
upon us. That an old man of eighty-one should be
carried off by the first access of winter's cold is so
much in the ordinary course of things that no one
could wonder or murmur at his removal. But before
the public generally had even learnt that the veteran
statesman was ill his long career had closed, and
the nation is deprived of its favourite before it has
had time to contemplate the possibility of its loss.
England has had statesmen whose names will
occupy a more glorious page in her history than
Lord Palmerston's, whose genius far transcended
his talent, whose devotion to their country's
service fully equalled, if it did not exceed, his ;
but there never was an English Minister who was
so thoroughly the idol of his countrymen, because
there never was one who so perfectly understood
their character, shared so closely their feelings in
their strength and weakness, and secured so largely
their confidence. Political differences did not lessen
the esteem and goodwill with which he was generally
regarded, and Sir Robert Peel expressed the senti-
ment of the whole nation when, in the last ,speech
he was fated to deliver--.......rnnAL Airpeted against
the noble !MU s policy, and followed by a vote in-
tended to drive him from office, he exclaimed, We
are all proud of him." The pride and the affec-
tionate regard have, grown immensely since those
word«, were spoken, and we have seen of late years
confidence in the noble lord even do the duty of a
political creed.

POST.—Pain and deep sorrow fall upon the coun-
try. Every family in England will learn with keen
regret that the great statesman of whom the nation
was proud has ceased to exist. In the fulness of
years and of honour, witnessing the triumph of his
policy, Lord Palmerston has, almost suddenly, been
called from among us. He has died, as he should
have died—in harness. The end of that glorious
life is complete. From youth to manhood and to
old age every day has seen him battling for his coun-
try. The veteran preserved the fire of his youngest
days, and none can reproach him with faltering
voice or failing thought. He has gone from us,
still in the plenitude of his intellect and in the
strong ability to fulfil the arduous duties of his post.
The greatness of the man will command its tribute
from all, far and near. By friends and opponents,
and in foreign lands, he is acknowledged as a
great representative man—emphatically " the Eng-
lish Minister." But though the loss be great,
nationally and politically, Lord Palmerston was so
good and kind-hearted that those who personally
mourn him can only appreciate how severe is
the bereavement to his thousands of friends.
The House of; Commons loses its leader, whose
voice its oldest members have listened to always
with respect, and often with enthusiasm. How that
manly form, with the folded arms, will be missed
from the Treasury bench! How that clear loud
voice, enunciating strong facts or exposing the
absurdity of an adversary, will -be lost from the

of a name which has so often caused it to startle, if
not to tremble. The Parliament, which in the full
tide of his undiminished power Lord Palmerston
summoned to approve and continue his policy, will
never see the chief who guided so many of its pre-
decessors. Its party conflitts, its clashing of prin-
ciples, will rage unappeased by the great master who
has stilled so often the murmur of opposition and
the anger of discontented supporters. Better per-
haps that it should be so. The future will be less
acquiescent than the past, and better that a life

has been anticipated for some days past has at last
occurred. The foremost man in England has

century, a prominent place on the stage
of public affairs. Advanced in years as the noble
lord was, we can scarcely yet realise the fact that
his fine manly person shall be no more seen, nor his
hearty voice be any more heard among us. Our
readers will, we are sure, without one solitary ex-
ception, concur when we with ussay that, beyond
the circle of the Royal Family, the death of no one
among the thirty millions of her Majesty's British
subjects, would have occasioned such profound and
universal grief as is felt at the loss of the noble lord,
whose decease it is our painful duty this day to re-
cord.

of the Forces, by the inspection of the Royal Engineers,
including the whole of the service and depot companies,
now at headquarters. Tho Major-General, accompanied
by the members of his staff,devoted the early portion of the
day to the inspection of the barrack building, non-commis-
sioned officers' and men's quarters, the schools, libraries,
offices, messrooms, &c., at Brompton-barracks. The Whole
were found in generally satisfactory condition. Proceeding
to the headquarter offices, the books, accounts, and other
official documents relating to the corps wore examined. At 1
o'clock, after the men had completed their dinner, a parade
or the wnoio of tne companies v...

Royal Engineers were drawn up in open columns of coin
panies, under the command of Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson,
in temporary charge during the absence of Col. J. L. A.
Simmons, C.B. After inspecting the kits, arms, and ac-
coutrements of each company, Major-Gen. Walpole asked
if there were any complaints to be made by any of the
men, as, if so,
he was ready to hear them. No reply, how-
ever, was given to the question. The unfavourable charac-

for of the weather, the rain falling, more or less,
the day, prevented the customary movements incidental
to an inspection being gone through on the review ground,
Chatham lines, and at about 2 o'clock the officers and men
were dismissed to their quarters.

Orders have been received at Chatham garrison directing
Lieut. Clarke, 2d Brigade Royal Artillery, Ensign Bailey,
and Ensign Quirk, 2d Battalion, 13th (Prince Albert's)

jesty"S navy by Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor to the
Navy ; and the Salamis possesses the Admiralty hatchet-
shaped form that was in vogue at Whitehall prior to Mr.
Reed's accession to office. Mr. Reed arrived from Lon-
don at Portsmouth on Thursday evening last, and em-
barked on board the Helicon to witness the trial,
the Helicon being also the senior officer's ship. The
programme laid down for the trial was for the two
vessels to steam ten knots on the first day at sea, and 12
knots on the second day, measurement being taken as far as
might be possible under the circumstances, of the amount
of fuel burnt. The third and concluding trial was to be
simply a run back to Spithead, each vessel to do its best.
The trials at 10 and 12 knot speeds were duly made, but no
safe inferences can be drawn from the results until the indi-
cator diagrams now at the Admiralty have been marked out
and the indicated power of each ship's engine compared with
consumption of fuel, &c. With regard to the ship's beha-
viour when steaming at 10 and 12 knots, there was never at
any time a sufficiently heavy Sea to bring out decisively the
respective qualities of each vessel in meeting the waves at
full speed. The Salamis flung sheets of spray over the bows
in her usual liberal manner, but shipped no " green seas."
The Helicon, with her longer bow, rode the waves gene-
rally with greater ease than the Salamis, so long as she
kept her head well up, and passed the seas away under her
with the same easy motion exhibited by her on her first
run under steam outside the Isle of Wight, to which refer-
ence was made in The Sun at the date of its occurrence.
When, however, the Helicon dipped her bows deeper in
the
waves than usual then she proved much inferiorto
r
to
Salamis in disposing of the opposing ea
get rid of the weight of water herhanginsglforunable
inclined
bows, she flung it bodily inboard in green seas. As has
been observed, however, there were no really heavy head
seas met with to fully test either of the vessels in this res-
pect, and therefore no positively fair comparison between
the two can perhaps be drawn. The 10 and 12 knot speed
runs having been concluded, the two vessels were put under
easy steam until a position, 335 miles west of St. Catharine's,
Isle of Wight, was reached on Saturday at noon. Then the
preparatory flag was hoisted on board the Helicon to start
on the race back, the winning-post being the Warner Ligh-
tship at the eastern entrance to Spithead, and the distance
350 miles. All was soon ready, but the start was delayed
for about half an hour, during which time the Salamis's
pressure of steam fell, her boilers filled with water, and her
fires necessarily grew dull. All this could not be avoided,
but it nevertheless gave the Helicon a decided advantage, as
it enabled her commanding officer to start her at his own
time-1 p.m., under a full head of steam, with clear fires,
and her head set straight on her course ; while the Salamis
had to get her head round from the westward, and start
with steam down to 191 b., and with dead fires. At the end
of two hours from the time of starting the Helicon had
obtained a lead of from two and a half to three miles, but
the Salamis's fires and steam were now all right, and her
engines were doing their best. By 4 p.m. the distance
between the vessels was but trifling, and by 1 a.m. on the
following morning (Sunday) they were fairly abreast of
each other, the green light of the Helicon being distin-
guishable from the fore-deck of the Salamis. At daylight
on Sunday the coal received at Portsmouth in the bunkers
of the Salamis was nearly all gone, and a very inferior
kind of coal, which had been 12 months in the bunkers,
having been taken on board at Copenhagen and Hull,
when the Salamis was in attendance upon the Prince and
Princess of Wales on the occasion of their visit to Den-
mark, had now to be burnt in the furnaces. The effect in

TELEGRAPH. --- Lord Palmerston is no more !
and to-morrow, had he lived to see its dawn,
would have been his 81st birthday ; yet the news of
his death comes upon us all like a shock. True, in
one sense, it has been sudden, for the last and fatal
illness was rapid ; but what other death could be
called sudden at 81 ? His seems so, because, with
all our unspoken knowledge that his buoyant powers
were sinking, that his career approached its end,
that the chance of our ever seeing him take his place
again 14 council and debate was most tullikely, wo

had not made up our minds, and we could not make
them up, to imagine England without Lord Palmer-
ston. To-day we must ; to-day he lies dead in our
midst ; and all his ripe wisdom, All his vast time-
gathered experience, his tact, his promptitude,
his solid thought, his radient ready action, his
cheery seriousness, his easy sententiousness—the
courage, the spirit, the foresight, the plasticity,
the play of the strong and famous English states-
man, belong to the past. If the shock of uni-
versal war rang outside our gates to-day—if
Europe crumbled up with a sudden earthquake,
splitting into new and tumbled forms of social
disorder—the, veteran Premier would keep the awful
silence of his death-chamber. He has done with it
—protocols, paragraphs, identical notes, instructions
to ambassadors—done with it all ! The wrinkled
hands are crossed upon his breast, and the lips that
all the world has listened to for 60 years have felt
and obeyed Death's silencing finger. It silences
more than those aged and puissant lips—it bids
enemies speak reverently of the man whose great
vitality and massive force the load of Imperial and
most majestic business has at last overcome ; it bids
friends be cautious, and anxious, and respectful,
even in their praises and regrets, in order that they
do no wrong by ill-weighed words to a reputation
which fills a whole volume of the annals of Eng-
land. And, to-day, at least, the " friends" of the
statesman lying dead are the people of this land, and
his enemies are none but those who are its foes.
STAR.—The announcement of the death of Lord
Palmerston seems like the closing of a whole era in
the history of England. For years and years back
he had filled a space in the public mind of Europe
far greater than that occupied by any other English
Minister—perhaps, indeed, greater than of any other
European statesman. His death ought not in the
ordinary course of things to have taken England
and the world by surprise. But such was the rare
condition of his marvellous physical constitution,
such was the exuberant and apparently indomitable
power of vitality which he displayed, that the
event, come when or how it might, must come with
all the force of an unexpected shock. It may be
safely asserted that no statesman ever reached Lord
Palmerston's time of life without having long habi-
tuated the public by gradual and visible decay to
the prospect of his death. But Lord Palmerston
seems to have fallen rather than declined. The
country did not see him in his weakness and his
fading hours. Retaining office to the last, he yet
may be said to have likewise retained all the dig-
nity of the veteran who quits the public field in
time and leaves behind him a memory of unim-
paired intellect and unbroken power ; not the pain-
ful recollection of an intelligence gradually flicker-
ing out and a frame degenerating into the languor
that demands the grave.

creeping away of the Helicon, under the greater power of
her Welsh coal, but very recently received on board at
Portsmouth. From this time the race was never in doubt,
notwithstanding the exertions being made on board the
Salamis by her officers, engineers, stokers, and crew.
A southerly set had carried the vessels in their course
up Channel within sight of Alderney and Cape La
Hogue, at about 11 30 a.m. on Sunday. and thence a
fresh course was laid for St. Catherine's and the Warner
Light, the latter being passed by the Helicon at 24 minutes
to 5 on Sunday afternoon, and by the Salamis 12i minutes
later, or at Hi minutes to 5. The actual distance between
the two vessels at the finish will be best understood by re-
ference to one of the Admiralty charts at Spithead. At the
moment the Helicon was passing the Warner light-vessel,
the goal of the race, the Salamis was passing inside the
buoy of Bembridge Ledge, the inner channel having been
taken by both vessels by the east end of the Wight in to
the Warner, and not the outer channel round by the Nab
light-vessel. In this contest the Helicon has proved herself
to be undeniably slightly the faster vessel of the two in
what we must consider to have been one of the most fairly
and best contested races under steam ever made in the
English Channel. The Helicon had the advantage of a little
extra boiler space over that possessed by the Salamis,with
greater room below for ventilation and working her fires,
coal of equal quality throughout, and some 12ft. greater
length of keel. Against these favourable circumstances the
Salamis could only put forward a commander, officers, and
crew who believed in the steaming qualities of their ship
over all others, and who understood thoroughly the capa-
bilities of her boiler and machinery—advantages, however,
which may be looked upon as counterbalancing the appa-
rently more formidable list of her opponent's. There can
be no doubt that both vessels,with their officers and crews,
have done their very best in the struggle for supremacy;
and it only remains for us to observe, in conclusion, that
the machinery of both never worked better on any previ-
ous occasion, and did credit to the makers, Messrs. Raven -
hill, Salkeld, and Co., of London.

The appointment of timber inspector at Chatham dock-
yard, vacant by the retirement, on superannuation, of Mr.
Netherwood, has been conferred by the Admiralty on Mr.
J. Road, inspector of stores and timber inspector at Pem-
broke dockyard.

Yesterday a naval court-martial assembled on board her
Majesty's ship Formidable, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir
Charles Talbot, K. 0.8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness,
to try Mr. Charles Bessey Cresswell, engineer of her Ma-
jesty's gunboat Magnet, tender to her Majesty's ship Pem-
broke,coastguardship in the riverHumber,on the following
charges :—First, that on the 3d October, 1865, he absented
himself from the Magnet without leave ; secondly, that on
the 4th October he was drunk on board the Magnet. The
court consisted of Captain John Fulford, of her Majesty's
ship Formidable (president), Captain Edward Tatham, of
her Majest's ship Bellerophon; Capt. George G. Randolph,
of her Majesty's ship Cumberland ; Capt. Leveson E. H.
Somerst, of her Majesty's ship Bristol; and Commander
Fredk. H. Stevens, of her Majesty's ship Wellesley. Mr.
Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Admi-
ralty solicitors, Rochester, acted as Deputy Judge-Advocate.
Evidence in support of the charges was given by Lieut.
George B. Goolden, in command of the gunboat ; Mr. Thos.
Pratt, the boatswain, second in command ; and Mr. Peter
Fouliss, the assist.-engineer. It appeared that at the time
the offence was committed the Magnet was lying in Yar-
mouth harbour, and the Lieutenant in cammand was ab-
sent at a ball given to the officers of the French fleet. The
prisoner left the vessel about 10 o'clock at night, without
asking leave of the boatswain, to whom it was his duty to
apply, and did not return till the next morning, when he
was reported by the assist.-engineer at 10 o'clock to be
drunk, and was likewise seen about 1 o'clock in the same
state by the commander of the vessel, who had then re-
turned. In his defence the prisoner stated that the charges
had been much exaggerated, that he was accustomed to
leave the ship to go for a walk without asking leave, and
that the cause of his being apparently intoxicated was
hat he had taken a glass of brandy to alleviate an attack
of diarrhoea. He handed in certificates of character ex-
tending over a period of 11 years, and expressed a hope
that, as this was his first offence, the Court would deal
leniently with him. The Court considered both the charges
proved, and sentenced the prisoner to be deprived of all
his seniority as an engineer, to forfeit £1 (a sum not ex-
ceeding two days' pay), and to be severely reprimanded.
The Court likewise expressed its particular approbation of
the manner in which Mr. Thomas Pratt, the boatswain,
had given his evidence.
