The members of the Club having taken their seats at the
table, the Pacha, punctually at half-past seven. passed from
the-drawing-room to the dining-room of the club; Sir Charles
Napier accompanied his Highness. The military band, as
the distinguished guests entered the room, struck up " The
Roaßt Beef of Old England."
The chair was occupied by Sir Charles Napier, upon whose
right sat the Pacha (with his interpreter), and next to him
Lord Palmerston. Amongst those present, in addition to the
Pacha and his suite, we observed Edib Effendi, the Turkish
Chargé d'Affaires; Viscount Palmerston, the Right Hon.
Richard Lalor Sheil, Sir John Easthope, Mr. Mark Phillips,
M.P., Mr. T. S. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. W. Collins, M.P., Mr.
Williams, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., Mr. A. Hastie, M.P.,
Mr. T. Gisborne, M.P., Mr. J. Flume, M.P., Dr. Shaw, Sir
Howard Elphinstone, Bart., M.P. Sir William Molesworth,
Bart, M.P., Mr. M. Mitcalfe, Mr. J. Collett, M.P.,
Dr. Power, Mr. Morgan J. O'Connell, M.P. Mr. D. R. Ross,
M.P., Dr. Prendergast, Mr. Chapman, M.P.I, Mr. Bellew,
M.P. Mr. M'Gregor, Hon. Captain Vivian, Hon. C. Lawless,
Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. H. G. Ward, M.P., Mr. Drummond,
Sir Percy Shelley, Mr. Shafto Adair, Mr. J. T. Leader, M.P.,
Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Sir James Carmichael, Mr. J. Parkes,
&c., &c. Mr. D. O'Connell Lad intended to dine with the
club on this occasion, but the honourable and learned gen-
tleman had been called out of town, which accounted for his
absence.

The band performed a variety of music during the ban-
quet; and on the cloth being removed a corps of profes-
sional vocalists enlivened the party by the singing of
glees, &c.
Upon the cloth being removed, the "Non Nobis" was
sung, when Sir Charles Napier rose to propose the first
toast, " The Queen," which was received with loud cheer-
ing, and drunk with the usual honours. " God save the
Queen."
The next toast was," Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
and the rest of the 11oyal Family."—( Three times three.)
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the
evening, the health of " Ibrahim Pacha, and prosperity
to Egypt."—(Loud cheers.) Their illustrious guest was
the son of one of the most remarkable men of
this age, one who might be characterised as "the great
Oriental Reformer."—(Cheers.) It had been his (Sir
Charles Napier's) fortune to have been engaged in active
hostilities, having their illustrious guest for an opponent. This
was not the time nor the place to advert to the policy in
which those hostilities had originated.—(Hear, hear.) The
cause which Ibrahim Pacha had to sustain may have been an
unjust or an impolitic one—he was only the instrument for
carrying it into effect.—(Hear, hear.) The Pacha of Egypt
had determined that Syria should be held in opposition to the
Sultan, and Ibrahim Pacha was deputed by his father to
contest the occupation. He was right to obey the instruc-
tions of his superior—(Hear, hear)—and the skill, perse-
vererance, and indomitable courage he displayed, while re-
flecting the highest honour upon him, showed how wisely the
selection had been made of a military chief to conduct these
operations. Looking to the past, then, it was only as a sol-
dier, and to the future, as the ruler of Egypt, that they had
to speak of Ibrahim Pacha.—(Hear, hear.) As a soldier, he
was one of the most gallant of men. He had himself led a
successful attack upon Acre with a gallantry unsurpassed in
the annals of personal bravery in ancient or modern times,
and had crowned a long and brilliant military career by the
victory of Koniab, an achievement which might take high
rank in modern military history.—(Hear.) But it was not
alone as a soldier that Ibrahim Pacha was distirguished.

(Cheers.) He (Sir C. Napier) felt much gratified that the first
public entertainment offered to Ibrahim Pacha in England—
he believed he might say in Europe—was offered to him by
the Reformers of this country.—(H ear.) Such testimony of
the good feeling of this country was due to Mehemet Ali
and his illustrious son; fur Englishmen should never forget
that during the course of those hostilities which had at-
tracted so much attention in 1840.41, our communications
with India were never for a single month interrupted.--
(Loud cheers.) Our Indian letters were permitted to pass
without the seal of a single one being so much as broken.—
(Hear, hear.) Such forbearance was honourable to the good
feeling of the Pacha of Egypt, and lie was sure all classes of
Englishmen hailed with delight the opportunity of showing
how highly it was appreciated. After some further remarks,
the Honourable and Gallant Officer concluded by proposing
" The health of Ibrahim Pacha."
The toast was received with enthusiastic applause, which
continued for some minutes. _ _ _

vvIBttAIIIMv
PACUA then rose, and with considerable anima-
tion addressed his interpreter in Turkish, by whom his re-
marks were translated into French. He thanked Commo-
dore Napier for the way in which he had proposed his health,
and expressed himself very sensible of the kind reception it
had met with from the company. He had been highly gra-
tified with everything which he had seen in England, and
with the disposition manifested towards him by all classes.
A reciprocal feeling of kindness towards this country existed
is Egypt, between which country and England he trusted
that the closest amity would always prevail.—(Cheers.)

After a few minutes Lord PALMERSTON rose, and was re-
ceived with a loud burst of cheering, which continued for
some time. As soon as silence was obtained his Lordship
said he had a toast to propose, which he was sure would be
received with great satisfaction by the company. It was the
" Health of Mehemet Ali"—(Laud cheers)—whom his Hon.
and Gallant Friend in the chair had designated as " the great
Oriental Reformer and agriculturist." He was undoubtedly
one of the most remarkable men of the age in which be lived,
having by the force and energy of his character raised him-
self to the high position in which be is now placed; and
having introduced civilisation and established order in a
country which, when first he came to it, was immersed in
darkness and overspread with confusion.— (Cheers.) He
said that he felt the greater pleasure in proposing this toast,
because some years ago, as the organ of the tovernment of
which he was then a member, it had been his duty to pur-
sue a policy which had created differences between Mehemet
Ali and England. The British Government bad pursued that
course of policy solely from a strong sense of duty, aid be-
cau,e they deemed it essential for the preservation of the ba-
lance of lower, and the maintenance thereby of the peace of
Europe.—(Hear, hear.) He should, however, advert to tliose
times only fur the purpose of confirming what his Gallant
Friend had said of the conduct of Mehemet Ali towards Eng-
land during that period, namely, that he was a generous foe,
trusted,n
and that whatever might have been the irritation of the mo-
ment, he had never ceased to afford every possible protec-
tion
to those British subjects and British interests that
circumstances placed within his power.—(Hear, hear.) He

abundant proofs which have met his eyes of the

empire, he must be more than ever convinced of the mutual
advantage which England and Egypt must derive from those
1 commercial relations which it is our desire to perpetuate and
increaser Tlao Noble Lcid concludcd 11 Polvabs the

health of " Mehemet Ali and Prosperity to Egypt," which
was received with loud cheering.)
IBRAHIM PACHA again, through the medium of his inter •
preter, returned thanks. It had, always, he said, been the
anxious wish of the present Pacha of Egypt to cultivate the
most friendly relations with England, audit would be a source
of the greatest gratification that his motives were appreciated
by so important a section of the British people as were then
represented in that room.—(Applause.)
Mr. Ross, M.P., then in a brief, but very effective speech
proposed, " The Sultan Abdul Mesbid," which was drank
with cheers.

The Turkish CHARGE D'AITAIRES returned thanks.
The next-toast was " The Army and Navy."
Captain VIVIAN returned thanks for the army, and an
officer, whose name did not reach us, for the navy.
The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast was one of some diffi-
culty to propose. It was, "Her Majesty's Ministers."--
(Cheers.) The toast was difficult, because he was really
uncertain who were to be called her Majesty's Ministers;
however, he would leave it to the company to decide. and
merely propose, "Her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON then rose, and was received with loud
cheers. He said, that if his Gallant Friend had felt a diffi-
culty in knowing which Ministry was in existence that even-
ing, he must feel some difficulty in returning thanks, for the
:Ministry to which he belonged was scarcely a day old, and
could scarcely as yet be supposed, at so early au age, to have
began to speak. But by the end of the week he hoped they
would have the faculty of speech conferred upon them, and
they would then also begin to walk.—(Cheers.) It would be
for the Liberal party to see how they walked, and he hoped
they would be found to walk straight.—(Laughter and
cheers.) It would be out of place OR this occasion to dis-
cuss late events, but he could not refrain from saying that
it must be highly gratifying to the Government and to the
whole of the Liberal party to see that those doctrines of
commercial improvement, for the maintenance of which,
five years ago, they had beeen deprived of power, have since,
upon reflection and experience, and by sincere conviction,
been adopted by those who then opposed them— (Loud cries
of "Hear, hear,")—and that thus even their former oppo-
nents have acknowledged that they all along have been right.
—(hear, hear.) He was not expected, he was sure, to
give what in the phraseology of the day would be called a
programme of the measures of the new Government—(A
laugh )—but they might be assured that the new Ministers
would continue to be actuated by that spirit of progressive
improvement which had hitherto obtained for them the
confidence of the Liberal party, and he hoped that that
party would give the Government a cordial and effective
support as long as they should continue to deserve it.
Mr. WARD then, in a speech which produced consider-
able effect, proposed, " The Lord-Lieutenant, and Prospe-
rity to Ireland."—(The toast was received with loud ap-
planse.)
Mr. SnEin—lt is a source to me of the greatest gratifi-
cation that the sentiment proposed by my Honourable Friend,
Mr. Ward, should have been received with such genuine
enthusiasm in the presence of your illustrious guest—the
son of that great man who has been justly called this even-
ing "the great Oriental Reformer," and of whom it may
perhaps, without exaggeration, be said, that his mind
has been the auxiliary of the Nile, and that he has
helped the great river in fertilizing the desert. It is
right that this eminent stranger—that the world, indeed,
should know that Englishmen have begun to feel a deep
sympathy for Ireland. The Lord-Lieutenant, the head of
the house of Ponsonby, which was always true to the cause
of civil and religious liberty—has been justly associated with
the prosperity of Ireland. That prosperity. which was re-
cently so little the object of hope, has become one of glorious
and almost assured expectancy, and we confide in what we
had hardly ventured to conjecture. Forty six years have
elapsed since the union, and during those forty-six years,
however ponderous the fetters that were fabricated for Ire-
land by the Minister, the Parliament, with a disastrous
alacrity, hastened to put them on. But a new order of
things has, thank God, commenced ; the monotony of op-
pression has been interrupted, and for the first, and, I may
add, for the last time, a measure of coercion has been thrown
out.—(Loud cheers.) A general persuasion is spreading
through the country that it is not by force that the govern-
ment of Ireland can be carried on. Conciliation is indis-
pensable ; and it must be of a large, a liberal, comprehensive
character. It must consist of concessions flowing out of the
deep and abundant f untain of justice, instead of being drop
by drop from the inglorious sense of English necessity.
sordidly and ignominiously squeezed out.—(Cheers.) The
Minister for whom the pacification of Ireland was reserved,
must grasp the whole mass of Irish grievance at once,
instead of touching the details with a timorous and tentative
hand. The true and perfect pacification of Ireland,
founded upon complete justice, is the last great
thing which it is left to a British Minister to accompli-h.
To the attainment of this great purpose, every man of
name and mark should lift his aim—to this object the
statesman to whom reference has been made in the course
of this evening should direct his undivided aspirations.
My Gallant 'Friend, the Chairman, has spoken of Sir Robert
Peel in the language of commendation—any excess of
eulogium in an epitaph can scarce be blamed ; and I must
acknoe ledge that the testamentary declaration of Sir R.
Peel, that Ireland must be governed upon the principles of
unqualified equality, deserves the highest commendation.
Although out of office, he cannot be stripped of the power
of doing great good, or great mischief, which great abilities
confer ; and he has the opportunity of doing most signal
benefits to Ireland. He has been recently made the sub-
ject of grave, and I willingly believe of unfounded, imputa-
tion. It has been said that he has been consumed by such
an avarice of praise, that he will not accept a mere divi-
dend of renown, nor take any part in the performance of a
great action, unless all its glory shall be in entirety his own.
Let him confute the men who speak thus of him. Let him
prove that he possesses the magnanimity by which the
Minister of a high-minded people ought to be distinguished,
by becoming the auxiliary of the statesman who is now at
the head of her Majesty's Government—who never for a
moment swerved from the interests of Ireland—who was
faithful to her when fidelity to her was almost fatal to him-
self—and who, in recompense for his undeviating adherence
to her cause in every political vicissitude, will, I trust,
derive from his services to Ireland a renown which shall
add nobility to a house already sacred to liberty, and, how-
ever great it be already in the annals of England, still with
new lustre illuminate his name.

The Right Hon. Gentleman immediately rose, and in a
complimentary speech proposed the health of Sir Charles
Napier. As soon as the applause had ceased, the Gallant
Officer returned thanks, and after some further toasts were
proposed. his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, who seemed highly
gratified with the proceedings of the evening, retired to the
drawing-room and partook of coffee. Several of the ladies,
who had remained during the evening, were presented to his
Highness, who, shortly after eleven o'clock, with his suite,
closed his visit, and left for Nivart's. _

His Highne;s expressed his obligations to the members of
the Reform Club for the magnificent entertainment they had
given him.
M. Nubar communicated the Pacha's grateful sentiments
as interpreter.
His Highness will dine this evening with the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—A meeting of the friends and sup-
porters of Mr. Brown was held at Eastwood'e Hotel, at
twelve o'clock this day. There was a considerable attend-
ance of the leading merchants and gentlemen resident in
the Liverpool polling district, in favour of the claims of
the honourable candidate. At about half-past twelve R.
Ellison Harvey, Esq., was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that on other occasions when they
met in that room their first business was to select a candi-
date, happily on the present they were provided with one,
and the object of their meeting was to secure his return.
They had cause to rejoice at the promotion of Lord Francis
Egerton, but would have more by the return of Mr. Brown.
He would advise strenuous exertions on the part of all in-
terested in the cause of free trade, and to make such arrange-
ments as would render it impossible for them to be taken
by surprise, should there be, what he did not expect, a
contest. He would be happy to hear any observation or re-
a 'lution which gentlemen were prepared to propose to the
meeting. •

caster."

• The resolution, having been seconded by Mr. HoutEri,
passed unanimously.
Mr. BLACKBURNE proposed the thanks of the meeting to
Mr. Brown, fur his promptitude in accepting the invitation
of the electors who had signed the requisition presented to
him a few dad s ago. South Lancashire was not like almost
any other county in England ; it was a kind (of extensive
borough, whose people were mostly engaged in manufac-
turing and commercial pursuits. The representative of
such a population, therefore, required to be a representative
of extensive knowledge on these great subjects. Here Mr.
Blackburne spoke in very commendatory terms of Mr.
Brown's talents and commercial knowledge.
Mr. HOLLAND, in a few words, seconded the resolution,
which passed unanimously.
Mr. RAviLnis then rose for the purpose of proposing a
chairman of the committee for conducting the election in
the Liverpool polling district. In doing so he remarked
that as it was desirable to have a free-trade candidate, it,
was as important to have the committee free-traders also ;
and that the committee have for its president a gentleman,
who was not only a free trader in principle but in prac-
tice. He would therefore propose one whose whole heart
and soul was bound up in that question, one whose name
was indissolubly connected with the cause, W. Rathbone,
Esq.—( Loud cheers.)
111 r. RATFIBONE stated that he had made up his mind
not to act as chairman, and concluded a short but spirited
speech by proposing as an amendment " That R. E. Harvey,
Esq., be the chairman of the Liverpool committee for con-
ducting the election of Mr. Brown."
The CHAIRMAN suggested Mr. William !Earle, but there
were cries for Mr. Harvey, upon which
Mr. RATHSONE called for a show of hands on his amend-
ment, which appeared in its favour.
Subsequently it was agreed to request Mr. Bracken to act
as chairman, or, in case of his refusal, to try and secure
the services of Mr. Joseph East. A committee was then ap-
pointed, consisting of the following gentlemen :—John Pen-
nington, L. Hevworth, T. Blackburn, James Mulleneux, J.

SCIENCE.—The discovery of a stream of electricity in
a jet of steam has attracted many in the endeavour to detect
its presence and influence elsewhere. In several experiments
recently gone into upon a variety of woollens, the fabric
made from the Alpaca exhibited the presence of electricity
in a remarkable degree. The healthful nature of the Llama
cloth, beiug partly hair and partly wool, may. thus be ao•
counted for, and the strong recommendations issued by its
introducers and manufacturers, the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-
street, may be the more relied upon.

party of American officers on board the Eurydice, then at
anchor off Pensacola, in the Gulf of Mexico. Between the
hours of eight and nine o'clock r.m., a report was made to
him that the dingy had left the ship with two men; he im-
mediately ran to the gangway, but could not see the boat ;
he asked the sergeant of Marines, whom he suspected had
left in the boat. The sergeant said two men, of the names
of Barnes and Watts. Chace was made for three or four
hours, but without success in finding . the men or boat.
_ _

A sergeant and two privates of Marines, formerly belonging
to the Eurydice, proved the prisoner to be the same person
who had deserted on the above occasion and taken away the
ship's boat, which has never since been recovered.
In defence, the prisoner denied having run away with the
ship's boat, but confessed deserting from the ship in a boat
brought off by an old shipmate, who had previously induced
him to agree to desert. He had since volunteered at Liver-
pool for the Superb, 80, and being brought to this port to
await her passage, had been discovered and identified as a
deserter from the Eurydice. He produced certificates of good
character, and said he had been ten years a petty officer in
her Majesty's service.
The COURT declared that the charge had been fully proved,
and adjudged the prisoner to receive 50 lashes on his bare
back on board the Eurydice at such time as the commander-
in-chief at Portsmouth should direct, and to be imprisoned in
Winchester gaol for the space of 12 calendar moeths, and
during that time to be kept to hard labour.

The Nelson, 120, advanced ship, was masted to-day in the
basin.

The Vixen steam-sloop, Captain Giffard, has not yet dis-
embarked her specie, and remains in harbour.
The Eurydice, 26, Captain G. Elliot, is reported to be out
of the dockyard hands on the Bth, but she will most probably
be newly coppered before going to Spithead. The first
Lieutenant (Heathcote) has already got the ship in most
admirable order, and her rigging is set up as it ought to be.
The trial between the Eurydice and the Spartan is looked
forward to with considerable interest.

In Harbour—The Excellent, the Victory, the Pique, the
Eurydice and Contest, the Victoria and Albert, the Vixen,
the Dasher, the Comet, the Fairy, and the Echo steamers.
At Spithead—The Constance.
In the Basin—The Edinburgh, the Nelson, the Trinco-
malee, and the Amphitrite.
In Dock—The Prince Regent, the Penelope, the Leander,
the Cambrian, the Rifleman, and the Rattlesnake.

THE EAST AND WEST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—
SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 3.—The East India and China mails
were dispatched this day in the Oriental CoMpany's steam-
packet Montrose as far as Malta, from whence they will be
transmitted by the Iberia steamer to Alexandria, and the
Montrose proceed on her voyage to Constantinople. She has
a full cargo of bale goods and a number of passengers. The
Royal West India mail packet Tweed left the docks yester-
day with the Mexican and West India mails, 580 bottles of
quicksilver, and a full cargo of stores and packages on the
company's account. _

ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—About eleven o'clock
on Wednesday night Huddart, a post-boy employed by Mr.
Foster, of the Crown Hotel, Penrith, and a young woman of
the name of Raine, a native of Penritb, together with a
pair of horses, most miraculously escaped being drowned in
the river Eamont, about a mile from Penrith. It appears
that Huddart had been out with a carriage and four, and on
returning to Penrith attempted to cross the river above the
bridge, for the purpose of washing the carriage and the
horses. The stream, however, being much swollen from the
late heavy rains, carried the horses off their feet, and the
carriage was taken down under the front arch, and alighted
against the abutment of the bridge. The horses were cut
loose from the carriage by the posthoy, who succeeded in
getting them and himself out of the water, leaving the
young woman, who screamed for help, in the carriage, which
was nearly filled with water. The night was very dark, and
the only person who was up in the village was Mr. Richard
Ralph, the landlord of the Welcome-Here-in-Cumberllnd
Inn, who lost no time in procuring ropes, and on reaching
the spot he found Miss Raine had got out of the carriage,
and was sitting on the top, which was just out of the water.
A man then came up, who fastened one of the ropes round
him, and taking another, plunged into the swollen stream,
and swain to the carriage, when he fastened the rope round
Miss Raine, and she was dragged out through the water.
On landing she was in a most exhausted condition, but is
likely to recover in the course of a few days.
LORD WARD'S HEAD GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—On
Tuesday last Mr. Norris, head gamekeeper to Lord Ward,
was shot in the preserves at Hiniley, near Dudley, by an
under gamekeeper of the name of Hall, whom Mr. N'orris
had just rebuked for having dogs with him in the preserves,
where the game was very young. A portion of Norris's
left arm was blown to pieces, and a quantity of shot lodged
in his side, next to his heart. Hall left Norris in this state,
but having told two men in an adjoining field that he had
shot Norris, they repaired to the spot, and had the wounded
man conveyed home. Yesterday Norris's depositions were
taken, and he now lies without hope of recovery.
SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Yesterday a quarterly general
court of proprietors of South Sea stock was held at the com-
pany's house, in Threadneedle-street, Charles Franks, Esq.,
the sub-governor, in the chair. The minutes of the last
court were read and confirmed. The secretary read the
accounts which are always submitted to the proprietors
preparatory to the declaration of a dividend. The Chairman
then moved that the usual dividend of one and three-quar-
ters per Dent. be agreed to. The motion having been car-
ried, and there being no other bwinese before it, the Court
Adjourned,
