Admiral concluded au able speech, by proposing a resolution
expressive of the satisfaction of the meeting at the gallant con-
duct of Captain Napier, by which he had deservedly obtained
la himself high character among the proudest heroes of naval
history.
Sir T. TROLTBRIDGE seconded the resolution. He did so be-
cause he was a personal friend of Captain Napier. There was
one point which had been mentioned which had made a deep im-
pression on him—that wan, that Earl Grey, in his place in the
House of Lords, had states that it was with the deepest regret
he had consented to the removal of Captain Napier's name.—
(Loud cheers.) He sincerely hoped that removal was but of
short duration,—(Cheers ) He sincerely hoped that the
great measure now about to be brought forward in the
House of Commons, would shortly be carried into effect,
and would be the means of raising Captain Napier to that place
he was so well worthy of. He would not go through the
particulars of the battle that had taken place ; but he begged of
the meeting to reCollect that this was not the first time Captain
Napier had greatly signalised himself. He was sure that every
sailor and Englishman would know how to appreciate such
great services, and would agree with him in saying,
that this country could not afford to lose the services of sO
gallant and valuable an officer. The resolution was mried
unanimously.

Mr. C. TYNTE said he felt considerable emisarrassment in
addressing them, after the speeches which they had already
heard. Speaking after such celebrated men as the gat,
lant Admiral (Sir E. Codrington) and the gallant Captni
(Trowbridge) on naval affairs, was fi!Trlost presump-
tion ; but as the resolution he had to p:7-Tose was
to the following effect :—" That the late naval victory by a
small force was a subject of sincere congratulation to 1:1,e
friends of Portugal, and that it was one of the greatest
achievements in naval history"—(Hear, hear, hear)—
he might be allowed to say a few words, especially as he
represented the county that gave birth tollowe and Hood, great
naval men. He concurred in every sentiment before expressed
as to the renown deserved by Captain Napier. He then passed
a high eulogium on the Gallant Admiral (Codrington), for
his gallant conduct at Navarino, and said that he
had not been done justice to with respect to
that affair by the then Government. He trusted that Napier
would soon again be able to be called one of the officers of this
country, and would give all the support in his power, as a
Member of Parliament, to second the wishes of the meeting.
Colonel EVANS, M.P., seconded the motion, and congratu-
lated the meeting on the fact of such a glorious victory having
been won not only by an English officer, but by British sub-
jects, and further, not only by an English officer, but by one who
was a frien 1 to Reform. Something had been said as to the
despotism that was about to be overthrown, but the meeting
would have a better knowledge of the facts when they
were told that it was a fact that in proportion to the
population of the two countries, more had suffered impri-
sonment and punishments in Portugal under Miguel, than
had done under the bloody Robespierre. The resolution was
then put, and, like the preceding one, was carried unanimously.

Mr. G. STONE proposed the next resolution, to the effect
that a subscription be entered into for doing honour to Caplafis

Napier.

J. DUNCOMBE, Esq. seconded the motion, and hared the
nation would come forward and subscribe liberally, nut a sly
to do honour to Captain Napier, but also to those who iiaa.
fallen during the glorious contest. Had England spoket4
out its indignation and displeasure, when the despot Mi-
guel first put forward his unfounded claims, he would
not have dared to do as he had done, but he was
afraid that, so far from that, the then Government gave hint
underhand support. He was most happy, however, that what
had been neglected by the Government of those days, had in
these been obtained by a few British volunteers.—(Cheers.)
Like the others, this resolution passed unanimously.
W. SMITH, Esq. then rose to propose the next resolution,
and was left speaking.

VICE•CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

MARTIN V. WRIGIIT.-DELSIIAZZAR'S FEAST.

Mr.' CHANDLESS applied es parte on behalf of Mr. Martin,
the celebrated painter, for a special injunction, to restrain the
defendant from exhibiting a dioramic view, at the Queen's
Bazaar or elsewhere, the well known picture taken from the
account of Belsbazzar's Feast, painted by the plaintiff: From
the affidavit of Mr. Martin, it appeared that the defendant had
bought from him one of the engravings of Belshazzar's Feast
for 3/. I3s. 6d., and employed a person named Sebron to copy
it on a larger scale, which he placed up for exhibition in the
Queen's Bazaar. Mr. Martin most positively denied
that he had authorized the defendant, in any manner, to
make the dioramic copy, and stated his belief that
the picture was intended as a gross fraud on the public, lead-
ing them to believe that it was painted by the plaintiff himself.
Mr. John George Graeff; the solicitor for the plaintiff; also
positively swore that the defendant had told him that the
Diorama had been copied from a print of the plaintiff's.
His HONOUR doubted whether he could grant the injunc-
tion without notice to the other side. It might be contended
that there was a material difference between dioramic views
and paintings, and if the view in question was such a daub as
had been represented, another question might be raised, whe-
ther the plaintiff in a Court of Law would not be entitled to
damages, but to no relief in a Court of Equity. Under such
circumstances his Honour thought notice should be given.
The production in Court of one of the placards of the
defendant's caused no small merriment, the reverse side bear-
ing upon it the extraordinary words as connected with a
dioramic exhibition of Fine Pickled Tongues.
His HONOUR laughed heartily at the different uses to which
the Board had been appropriated, and observed, that when
notice had been given he had no doubt the Court would be
amused with plenty of tongue—(Laughter.)
