remember Sir Robert Peel onceTo lave said—and Liberals are
now able to quote Sir R Peel—(Hear, and a laugh)—as Sir
R. Peel said, in talking of our last victory in India coming
after the preceding reverses—he said, " We have effaced the
memory of our shame on the field of our previous disasters."
The West Riding, I am told, has its own again.—(Cheers.)
There is no title in the gift of the monarch, of the minister,
or the people, of which I should be so proud as that of the
West Riding's own.—(Repeated cheers.) And, gentlemen,
it is no selfish or personal victory we have won to-day.—
(Hear, hear.) Broad as is this riding—multiplied as are its
interests, the efforts of our struggle over principle cannot be
confined to any new local boroughs, or any single consti-
tuency, and in its ultimate results I hope it will r.ot be con-
fined to any nation, or to any quarter of the globe, but that
they will extend to the utmost limits of the round globe on
which we live.—(Hear, hear.) I hope the shout of our
triumph will spread over the broad fields of England—find
an echo within the walls of the Imperial Legislature, and be
stamped, and ratified, and blessed to all future time in the
confirmed intercourse and increased plenty of nations. you
see, gentlemen, I do not lightly estimate the efforts you have
made—the front you have shown, and the hearty goodwill
with which you have silenced at once the hiss of monopoly,
the firm tread with which you have planted the glorious
banner of free trade ; and I hope, whenev.er we meet again,
it will he to congratulate each other on our consummate
triumph. I have now, gentlemen, after the singular patience
and indulgence with which you have already heard me, no
longer to trespass on your kind attention—that attention to
which I never yet appealed in vain—that kindness which did
not fail me even in the moment of defeat, and which I re-
joice to see renewed and accumulated in the glorious shout of
our finished victory.—(Cheers.)
Three cheers were then given for the League for Lord

Underwriter Rooms, Liverpool, Feb. 3, 1846.

Sir,—ln reply to your letter of yesterday, I have to
inform you that the information as to the loss of the
Cataraque was received from a passenger per Rossen-
dale, from whom I learn to-day that it was received by
him from the passengers per Sons of Commerce, when
on shore at Pernambuco. _ .

Captain Golden, of the Rossendale, never furnished
me with any report, and that which I obtained was from
another passenger.—l remain, Sir, yours &c.,
(Signed) THOMAS COURT, Secretary.
W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's.

NIL DESPERANDUM.
NEVER DESPAIR.
(Motto of Viscount Anson.)
Originally sung by Mr. T. (late Captain) Phillips,* the
last of the Incledon School.)
Never despair !—banish all sorrow,
Hope for the future—drive away fear ;
Clouds dim to-day may brighten to-morrow,
And Heaven direct our frail vessel to steer.
Never despair !—though misfortune oppresses,
Providence wisely afflicts us with care;
Be this your motto, in all your distresses,
" Nil desperandum"—Never despair.
Never despair !—tho' the foul fiend should bluster,
And Boreas loud thunders aloft as we sail ;
Up, up, be men; true courage all muster ;
Hope's a sheet anchor that never shall fail.
Never despair I—tho' life's storms make you shudder,
And fate fills the goblet brimful of care ;
Shrink not, repine not, let but Faith be the rudder,
And the bold watch-word—Never despair !
* Mr. Phillips (the uncle of Henry Phillips, the voca-
list) made his last appearance on the Bath stap in the
year 1800, in the character of Antonio in the Duenna.
His friend Incledon, and the present Charles Taylor,
played Carlos and Ferdinand, on the occasion. Mr. P.,
though nearly seventy, still retains his vocal powers
unimpaired.—CoRRESPONDENT.

SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY.—The merit of the new
historical novel, " Sir Roger de Coverley, a Tale of the Court
of Charles H.," by the popular author of " Maids of Honour,"
is now the favourite subject of discussion in the literary cir-
cles. The following chapters are quoted as possessing extra-
ordinary interest :—Sir Roger de Coverley's first appearance
at Court—Charles the Second making hisToilet—The King's
Clandestine Visit to the Duchess of Richmond—Nell Gwynne's
Supper Party—Milton and his Daughters—The Queen's
Frolic at Saffron Waldon—The Congress of Thieves at the
. .

Tangier Tavern in St.Giles's—Sir Roger de Coverley's in-
trusion into the dressing. room of the Maids of Honour—The
Representation of Tyrannic Love, by Kilhgrew's Company of
Commedians—The King in Council—The Party in the
Boudoir of the Duchess of Portsmouth—The Merry Monarch
and Nell Gwynne in the Mall—Sir Roger do Coverley
kicking Bully Dawson in the Devil Tavern ; and Catherine
of Braganza dancing at Whitehall. These form only a por-
tioni of the great variety of scenes in which the anthor ofatsh.ts
remarkable work has conveyed a picture, as

HOURS OF LABOUR.—We understand that a meeting
of master spinners was held yesterday, for the purpose of
ascertaining the feeling of the trade with respect to Lord
Ashley's proposition for the reduction of the hours of labour
in cotton mills. The meeting being a private one, we can-
not, of course, pretend to give any detailed account of
its proceedings ; but we understand that the feeling of
the meeting was, that Sir Robert Peel's fiscal measure,
if carried, would have the effect of ameliorating
the condition of the working classes, by enablir a
them to obtain a more plentiful and cheaper supply of foou,
and that it would also place the manufacturers, in many
respects, in so much better a position, as to enable the trade
generally, in some degree to meet the objects which Lord
Ashley has brought before the Legislature, and which, on
different occasions, the House of Commons has approved.
The meeting resolved that immediate steps should be
taken to ascertain the opinion of the whole body of
cotton spinners and manufacturers, as to the pro-
priety of their promoting a measure for reducing the hours
of factory labour from twelve to eleven hours. This, of
course, is to be contingent on the passing of Sir Robert
Peel's measure, without which the millowners would not
feel justified in acceding to such an alteration in the hours of
labour. We understand that another meeting is to be held
on Saturday next, by which day, it is expected, the opinion
of the trade generally will have been ascertained.—Manches-
ter Guardian.
