The CHAIRMAN said, that in consequence of the offer
made by Mr. Saunders, the original motion was with-
drawn, and the amendment became a substantive motion.

Mr. BAKER, seconded by Mr. CULVERWELL, proposed
an amendment to the effect that the offer of 32 per cent.
and half the surplus profits by Mr. Saunders, on the
part of the Great Western Company, be approved and
accepted.
Mr. GEACH opposed the amendment, and endeavoured
to obtain an adjournment of the question.

Anything more disgraceful
than the foreign
policy of the ABERDEEN Cabinet has not been wit-
nessed, among public events, by the
present gene-
ration. The truculent ambition of thc,
CZAR has
been subserved by this policy in a manner so de-
plorably and flagrantly pusillanimous, that
the
honour of England is tarnished, its authority is
diminished, its dignity is compromised. And all
this--owing to the absolute fatuity of one or two
of the leading members of the Coalition. This,
forsooth, is the Ministry for the foation of
which so many principles were sacrificedr, m
so many
ties and pledges were broken, so many reputations
were trailed through the mire of inconsistency !
This, forsooth, is the strong and energetic Ad-
ministration which the country was called upon
to welcome with cries of gratitude and pceans of
exultation ! Scarcely one session has elapsed since
its members were inducted into office—and al-
ready they have contrived to involve a gallant
ally in a maze of difficulties, from which it is
scarcely possible to discover any honourable means
for its extrication.

A. summary of the occurrences which have taken
place during the last few months, will indicate in
the clearest manner the heinous culpability at-
taching at this moment to the Earl of ABERDEEN'S
vaunted but effete Government. However cur-
sory our allusion to late events—however vaguely
or inadequately these events may be here epitom-
ised—a hasty and even superficial enumeration of
them will be sufficient to remind the reflective of
the depth to which the national reputation has
been degraded within a wonderfully brief inter-
val, by the rulers of England, in the presence at
once of Heathendom and Christendom.
Everybody remembers, of course, how there

REPRESENTATION OF LlSBURN.—Another candidate
has been announced for the representation of Lisburn,
in addition to the Messrs. Richardson, whose addresses
are before the public. The Daily Express of this morn-
ing contains an address to the electors of the borough,
calling upon them to hold their votes disengaged, "as a
gentleman of highly Conservative principles, and long
known in parliamentary life, an Irishman, whose family
and connections have been extensively associated with
the trade and manufactures of the north of Ireland, in-
tends to offer himself as a candidate to represent them
in the Commons House of Parliament at the approach-
ing election."
" UN= TOM" AGAIN IN TROUBLE.—A letter from
Rome of the 2d inst. states that on the previous day the
reading committee of the Holy Inquisition sat in judg-
ment upon various works, and condemned " Uncle
Tom's Cabin" as a damnable and pernicious work. The
Italian version so condemned is designated in the sen-
tence "Il tugurio dello Zio Tom, Romanzo, Arnericano
di Miss Enrichetta Beecher-Stowe."

STEALING BEES.—The Caledonian Mercury says :
A rather amusing case of theft was tried before Sheriff
Arkley, on Saturday. A man named Robert Robertson
was brought up charged with stealing a swarm of bees
from a place near West Calder ; and so dexterous had
he become in this peculiar species of depredation, that
it appeared he had acquired the soubriquet in the district
of " Bee Robbie." His plan, it seemed, was to secure
the queen, and the rest of the swarm instantly followed
him, leaving hive, honey, and all behind. As he had
been only a fortnight liberated, the Sheriff sent him back
for sixty days to prison.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] --The Earl of Aldborough and Hol-
loway's Pills.—An astounding cure by this miraculous
medicine after every other means had failed. See ex-
tract from his lordship's letter, dated " Villa Messina,
Leghorn, Feb. 21, 1845. To Professor Holloway.
Sir,—l beg to acquaint you that your pills have effected
a cure of a disorder in my liver and stomach, which all
the most eminent of the faculty at home and all over the
Continent had not been able to effect—nay, not even the
waters of Carlsbad or Marienbad. (Signed) ALDBO-

REGATTA AT HAVRE.—The Havre regatta came off
on Sunday. The weather was delightful, and the racing
very good. This regatta being the most important in
France is always well attended, and this year was
under the patronage of H. I. H. Prince Jerome Bona-
parte. The Amateur Rowing Match afforded great
sport, the Vicomte de Dreuil, of Honfleur, having pro-
, posed that the famous pilots of that port, and who had
never been beaten, should row against the amateurs, and
for that purpose he had a six-oared gig built exceedingly
light expressly for them to row ;n, and from the reputa-
tion of these men and their great physical strength,
everybody felt assured they would win. However, a
six-oared boat and crew belonging to the "English Paris
Amateur Rowing Club," proved themselves better men,
as at starting they soon took the lead, gradually drew
away, leaving all their antagonists behind, and won the
first prize given by the Emperor.
REPRESENTATION OP GRAVESEND.—A meeting of the
inhabitants of this town was held on Monday evening
to take into consideration the expediency of adopting
steps for its enfranchisement. Mr. John Saddington,
the mayor, presided. After some discussion a memo-
rial was agreed to, to the Earl of Aberdeen and Lord
John Russell as ministers of the Crown, setting forth
the claims of Gravesend to be enfranchised, and which
especially dwelt upon the fact that it contained, by the
census of 1851, 16.763 inhabitants, which had since con-
siderably increased; that there were in it 2,663 houses
rated at and above 101. to the poor ; and that the elec-
tive franchise for the county was not enjoyed by more
than 300 of the inhabitants. It was also resolved to
petition Parliament in the next session to the same
effect.

A RACE TO AIISTRALIA.—Great interest is excited in
nautical circles by the departure last week from London
of a British ship, intended to compete with the cele-
brated American Sovereign of the Seas. This vessel is
the Gauntlet, owned by James Smith, jun., Esq., of
Tower-chambers. The Gauntlet is an iron vessel, mo-
delled by Mr. Rennie, and built by Denny and Rankin,
on the Clyde. She sailed from Gravesend at 2 p.m. on
rMoathenday, and
passed Deal at 7 p.m. The distance is
loere than from here to Holyhead, so that she
mustr-h more
gone very fast. On the same principle that
is adopted by the yachts of this country, the difference
Gauntlet in tonnage between the and the Sovereign of
the Seas should make a difference in the passage toAus-
tralia of about four days, the formerie vessel being 693
tons, while the latter is 2,400.
followed from London by another Liverpoolauntlet will be
Marion, built by Messrs. Hall, of Aberdeen, clipper, the
and owned
by Messrs. Shand.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

But for the powerful assistance of the steam floating
engine of the London brigade, which throws the enor- •
mous quantity of five tons of water a minute at a consi-
derable elevation and distance, the ruins left by this
disastrous conflagration would, at least, have kept burn-
ing a week or more. Such, however, was the over-
whelming character of the operations of the " float," that
they were, at a comparatively early period, so far cooled
as to admit of the surveyors of the several insurance
offices interested examining the extent of the loss. The
machinery, for the most part, may be said to be fatally
damaged ; for what with important portions being fused
by the intense heat, and others being shattered by the
walls of the factory on both sides falling upon them, it
is doubtful whether any of it can be worked up again
witbout being remodelled and fitted. The surveyors de-
clare that, neither in the metropolis nor the provinces,
had they ever witnessed such a destruction of machinery,
the forming and erecting of which on the works are said
to have cost nearly 100,000/. It has been ascertained
that the valuable engines for one of her Majesty's
steamers, and three sets for as many screw colliers, which
were lying in the erecting shop completed, although
much damaged, are not so extensively injured as to pre-
vent them being made available for service after under-
oing the necessary repair.
The origin of the fire still engages the attention of the
firm who have been at considerable pains to elicit the
probable cause. Nothing, however, has been discovered
of a satisfactory and definite cause.
With a view of guarding against the ravages of the
fire, the firm, it appears, caused sometime ago a reser-
voir tank to be erected on one of the erecting shops,
with pipes laid over the whole establishment, so as to
afford a supply of water at any point. The rapid pro-
gress of the fire, however, almost paralysed the men,
and in their dismay and excitement they forgot all about
the tank.
The exertions of the Royal Marines and the labourers
from Deptford Dockyard in working the floating engine
from that establishment and otherwise assisting in check-
ing the flames, have elicited great praise. Nothing
seemed to daunt them in their labours. The tide being
down at the time they had to wade through the mud up
to the works, rendered the most important services. So
valuable was their assistance that the committee of di-
rectors, who have the management of the London fire
brigade, have written to the captain superintendent of
Deptford dockyard, acknowledging their prompt and
efficient exertions on the occasion.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

But for the powerful assistance of the steam floating
engine of the London brigade, which throws the enor-
mous quantity of five tons of water a minute at a consi-
derable elevation and distance, the ruins left by this
disastrous conflagration would, at least, have kept burn-
ing a week or more. Such, however, was the over-
whelming character of the operations of the " float," that
they were, at a comparatively early period, so far cooled
as to admit of the surveyors of the several insurance
offices interested examining the extent of the loss. The
machinery, for the most part, may be said to be fatally
damaged ; for 'what with important portions being fused
by the intense heat, and others being shattered by the
walls of the factory on both sides falling upon them, it
is doubtful whether any of it can be worked up again
without being remodelled and fitted. The surveyors de-

THE LATE SIR C. J. NAPIER.

15th Sept. 1853.
The Editor of The Sum, is entreated to give in-
sertion to the following letter, as showing the gene-
rous temper of the British soldier.
Royal Marine Barracks, Gosport,
12th September, 1853.
My dear General,—On Saturday I placed in gar-
rison and divisional orders your request to make
known to the troops the sentiments which you have
been pleased so warmly to express.
The funeral of your late distinguished and much
lamented brother, Sir Charles James Napier,
G.C.8., excited the deepest interest, not only in
the troops, by whom he was so justly beloved and
revered, but by all classes of society, as was appa-
rent to you on that melancholy occasion.
From an early hour in the morning the roads
were covered, all hastening to the spot, and Ports-
mouth presented a dense mass of people, not less
than sixty thousand.
The moment the time was communicated to the
troops, they, as it were, with one voice, expressed
a wish to attend ; and I found it necessary to
direct the 42d Royal Highlanders to cross from
Gosport by one bridge, and the Royal Marines by
another, as sufficient accommodation could not be
afforded by one and the same.
What a proud scene to contemplate. History
does not present a parallel : the whole of an ex-
tensive garrison, the finest troops in the world,
turning out with one accord to do homage to, and
crowding round his honoured remains.
What prodigies of valour have been, and would
have been again accomplished, had an all-wise
Providence so ordained it, under such a leader,
whose name and heroic deeds must ever adorn the
gpages of History.
arrison Chapel was hung with black yes-
terday,allusion was made to the melancholy event,
and myself
brightest te
myself and all officers appearedwith
a
crape
round the left arm.

- I beg to return you, on my own part, and that
of the corps to which I belong, our most sincere
and heartfelt acknowledgments for the gratifying
note embodying your lamented brothers' opinion
as to its services, and which I have felt it
my duty to submit to the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty that so honourable and truly valu-
able a testimony should be communicated to the
corps at large.
With sentiments of the most profound respect,
allow me to subscribe myself your faithful and obe-
dient servant,

REPRESENTATION OP LlSBURN.—Another candidate
has been announced for the representation of Lisburn,
in addition to the Messrs. Richardson, whose addresses
are before the public. The Daily Express of this morn-
ing contains an address to the electors of the borough,
calling upon them to hold their votes disengaged, " as a
gentleman of highly Conservative principles, said long
known in parliamentary life, an Irishman, whose family
and connections have been extensively associated with
the trade and manufactures of the north of Iralami,
tends to offer himself as a candidate to represent them
in the Commons House of Parliament at the approach-
ing election."

4' UNCLE TOM" AGAIN IN TROUBLE.-A letter from
Rome of the 2d inst. states that on the previous day the
reading committee of the Holy Inquisition sat in judg-
ment upon various works, and condemned " Uncle
Tom's Cabin" as a damnable and pernicious work. The
Italian version so condemned is designated in the sen-
tence, " II tugurio dello Zio Tom, Romanzo, Americano
di Miss Enrichetta Beecher-Stowe."

I STEALING BEES.—The Caledonian Mercury says :
A rather amusing case of theft was tried before Sheriff
Arkley, on Saturday. A man named Robert Robertson
was brought up charged with stealing a swarm of bees
from a place near West Calder ; and so dexterous had
he become in this peculiar species of depredation, that
it appeared he had acquired the soubriquet in the district
of " Bee Robbie." His plan, it seemed, was to secure
the queen, and the rest of the swarm instantly followed
him, leaving hive, honey, and all behind. As he had
been only a fortnight liberated, the Sheriff sent him back
for sixty days to prison.

loway's Pills.—An astounding cure by this rodraculous

ROYAL MARINES.

WOOLWICH, JAN. 28.
The death of Lieutenant Lock, of this corps, of yellow
fever, while serving on board the Calypso,lB, on the
West India station, to which vessel he was appointed in
June last, is confirmed by the following promotion :
Second.-Lieutenant Francis Walton, of the Woolwich
Division, to be First-Lieutenant, and appointed to the
same division, vice Lock, deceased. Lieutenant Walton
is at present serving on board the Britannia, 120, flag-
ship of Vice-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 13., on
,the
Mediterranean station.
The detachment of Royal Marines of the Woolwich
Division doing duty at Deptford Dockyard was relieved
to-day by a detachment from headquarters here, C01111Lit•

ing of 8 sergeants, 13 corporals, 2 drummers, and 155
privates, under the command of Captain R. S. Harrison,
with three subalterns.

The recruiting for the Royal Marines is proceeding
very satisfactorily, numbers of young men well adapted
for the service being sent weekly to head-quarters for
instruction. During the present scarcity of seamen it
would be advisable still further to augment this branch
of the naval service, as the Royal Marines are a most
useful body of men, afloat or on shore ; and, owing to
their excellent instruction and discipline before serving
in ships of war or war steamers, they are much more
tractable than sailors, and not so scrupulous in lending
a hand at any kind of work as those who pride theta
selves on being first-rate seamen, and have generally a
dislike to serve in steam-vessels.

crossing the brook a second time, he, too, was disquali-
fied, and the race declared void, to be run for the ad-
vertised money this day.
The sports closed with—
The Farmers' and Tradesmen's Steeplechase, over about
three miles, five sous. each, 2 5 added, for horses the
property of farmers and tradesmen, &c. To be ridden
by gentlemen, farmers, or tradesmen.

Betting. —7 to 4 agst Sysonby, 2 to agst Melon.
Melon, Reindeer, and Sysonby went away together,
but Sysonby soon got ahead, and kept it for two-thirds
of the course. Melon, however, got to him and passed
him, and Forward Miss being knocked down by Rein-
deer, both went out of the chase. Atalanta fell two
fields from home. Finally, Melon defeated Sysonby by
20 lengths, the latter tiring at the up-hill finish. And
thus ended a pleasant meeting, except the mishap which
will produce the after-clap of this day.

BY F. B. COURTENAT,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
be history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which ho had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., yii.. and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme and yet th:
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."
