rfrlE WACHORN TESTIMONIAL.—We trust that at
length justice will be done to the claims of that indefati-
gable public servant Lieut. Waghorn, R.N. Among those
who have recently signified their intention to become sub-
scribers to the Waghorn testimonial is Sir R. Peel; thus show-
ing how highly he appreciates the exertions of Lieutenant
Waghorn. Alas we not hope that those exertions, of
which Sir Robert Peel has thus expressed his ap-
proval as a man, will be rewarded by him as a
Minister. " The subscriptions to the Waghorn testimo •
vial are the individual offerings of private gratitude for the
benefits which we have each of us individually received
through Lieutenant Waghorn's exertions in opening the
overland route. But, over and above these individual bene-
fits, he has also bestowed great benefits upon us
collectively as a nation, and has, indirectly, materially
added to the power and the wealth of England. These
are national benefits, demanding a national reward; and for
the sake of our credit as a nation, we trust that this reward
a rewigllbaet not grudgingly or tardily bestowed, but will be such as
