VISIT OP LORD PALIvIERSTON TO
LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 7.
It being ascertained that Lord Palmerston would pay
a flying visit to this port, a special meeting of the Liver-
pool Town C)uncil was called this mo-ning, at which
the following address was adopted
"To THE RIGHT HON. THE VISCOUNT PALMERSTON,
K. 0., G.C. Ste., Pinar Loan .C62IMISSIONER
OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
" May it please your Lordship,
•
" We, the Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Liverpcol,
o-
aag to offer our hearty conra.talations on the arrival of
your Lordship in this great cornmercial town.. ~ •
" We are sensib:e of the value and importance of your
long services to the'State, and of the eminent ability with
which your Lordship for many years directed the foreign
policy of the country; and we would especially refer to
the circumstances under which your Lordship assumed the
onerous and relponsible ditties of Prime Minister, in which
position, by imparting your energy and vigour to the vari-
ous departments of the Exocutive, you enabled her Majesty,
in conjunction with her august allies, to- terminate a pro-
traCted war and to restore to Europe the, blessings of peace.
" We rely confidently that the same vigour and firmness
will be displayed by your Lordship in bringing to a sa.tis-
f tctory adjistwent any questions still reina'ning unsettled
in. our relations with other countries, so that the peace now
happi y eff acted may be secured on a permanent and honour-
able besis.
" We regret that the time at your Lordship's disposal is
"too limited to permit you to inspect all the conveniences
already provided by the local authorities for the accommo-
dation of.commerce at this great port, and now in progress
under their direction, to meet its rapidly increasingreqnire-
ments ; but we•feel sure that your Lordship will view with
satisfaction such parts of those works as you may be ena-
bled to visit, and which provide dock amonuntittation and
.nonvouienentlior shipping tnan extent unpa,ralleltKl•iia-the
world.
" We fervently hope that your Lordship may long he
spared in health and strength to benefit the country by
your counsel and experience, and that you may have the
happiness of seeing the policy adopted underyour guidance
conduce to the welfare and prosperity of all classes of her
Majesty's subjects.
" Given under the common seal of the said borough."
Lord Palmerston, accompanied by Lady Palmerston
and Sir 53. Heywood, B tr!., arrived at the Lime-street
station of the London and North-Western IWlway at
20 minutes to 1 o'clock, and was received by the Mayor
(Mr. J. Stewart), Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. T. B.
Horsfall, M.P., Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Bramley-
Moore, M.P., and some of the leading merchants of the
town. He was first driven in the Mayor's state carriage
to St. George's-hall, which he inspected, and Mr. Bent
played a few staves on the great organ. Thence his lord-
ship-was driven to the Town-hall, followed bia large as-
semblage of people, who cheered him enthusiastically.
At the Town-hall the members of the town-council and
the leading men of the town were assembled, including
Mr. C. Holland, President of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce ; Mr. T. Bouch, ex-President of ditto ; Mr.
C. Turner, Chairman of the Dock Committee ; Mr. F.
Shand, the Mayor elect; Admiral Grenfel, Gen. Law-
rence, Mr. J. A. Tobin, &c.
His Lordship was conducted to ti.e principal drawing-
room, where the Town Clerk (Mr. Shuttleworth), Mr.
C. Holland, Mr. Graves, Chairman of the Shipowners'
Association ; Mr. Smith, Vice-Chancellor of ditto ; and
other gentlemen had the honour of an introduction.
The MAYOR then addressing Lord Palmerston, after
lamenting the short stay he would make in the town,
read the address which had been prepared by the oorpo.
ration.

Mr. C. HOLLAND, President of the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, stepping forward, said he had been deputed
by that body and the various commercial associations in
the town to communicate to his lordship the great gra-
tification which they experienced at seeing his lordship
on this occasion, their only regret being that his lord-
ship's brief visit prevented them froze making a more
formal recognition of the esteem in which his lordship's
distinguished services were held by this great commercial
; community. On the part of the Chamber of Commerce,
• he acknowledged the courtesy and attention with which
her Majesty's Government had received any suggestions
from that body, and the readiness with which it had ever
signified its desire to accede to its wishes. His lord-
, ship's brief stay prevented him from entering upon a
, consideration of the foreign policy, in which his lord-
ship's services had been much distinguished ; but there
was one question to which, if he consulted the wishes of
themercantile community, he must especially refer. He
minded to the question of the late difference between
this country and the United States of America. There
was only one expression of feeling among all the mem
bers of this community as to the manner in which his
lordship and her Majesty's advisers had disposed of a
question which might have involved this country in a
dispute with the United States—a mode which not only
consulted the dignity of this country, but exhibited a
conciliatory spirit in meeting the question. - (Cheers.)
Mr. S. R. GRAVES, Chairman of the Liverpool Ship-
owners' Association, alai), in the name of that body, ex
pressed their gratification at his lordship's visit, and in-
dulged in a hope that tho cordial nature of his reception
would induce his lordship to pay a visit to the town on
a future occasion, when they would be enabled to accord
to him a greeting which should in some degree express
the feelings of the community. (Cheers.)
Lard PALMERSTON, in reply to the addresses, said--
Mr. Maynr and Gentlemen,—l beg to return you, not
merely for myself, but also in the name of my colleagues,
our most sincere thanks for the cordial manner in which
you have been pleased to receive me. You have been
pleased_ to say that, if circumstances had given you
more time to prepare a formal reception, that reception
might have been accompanied by some more formal de-
monstration of your goodwill. It is an-established say-
ing that "second thoughts are best ;" but it is also a
truism that first impulses are best ; and having received
the expression of your first impulse, I am quite sure Do-
thing could add to the gratefulness of nay reception,
even if time had enabled you to add more form to the
cingratulations which you have now expressed. It must,
gentlemen, be peculiarly gratifying to those who are
charged with the conduct of affairs to receive expres
Biota of approval of their policy in times of such immense
importance Ifs those to which your observations have re-
ferred from a community such as that in which I now
have the honour to be, because if there is any eeeeneu•
laity whose interests are more peculiarly affected by cir-
cumstances of peace and war it must be that great Cam-
menial body *hose transactions flourish in peace
and are likely, to he crippled in war. It is therefore most
satisfactory to Government to have found, during the
continuance of the *ear in which we were unfortunately
engaged, that a sense of the justice of the cause, that a
sense of the necessity for the exertions which we called
upon the country to make, overpowered, in the minds
of the commercial community of .this country, all con-
siderations of private interests, and called forth from
them that display of energetic patriotism which contri-
butes so greatly to the success of the contest, and which
reflected such honour upon the country at large.
(Cheers.) I may say to those I now have the honour
of addressing that the means which the commercial
marine of this country placed at the disposal of Govern.
meat contributed essentially to the successful operatiors
in which we were engaged. (Hear, hear.) The vast
means of transport which the commercial marine placed
ia the hands of Government had this effect—that our
armies—and when- I speak of our ;
erintes a wean 'the
armies of France and England, for they were one upon
that :occasion—(cheers)—that the armies of the allies,
which (at least our own) were 3,000 miles from the
bead quarters of their resources, were, in truth, nearer
to those resources in point of time and facilities than
thee() of the enemy, who was fighting upon his own ter-
ritory. (Hear, bear.) Well, gentlemen, it was not only
satisfactory to us to find ourselves thus supported, but
I am bound to say that all the energy and zeal of her
Majesty's Government— and that energy and zeal were
uniform throughout the land—l am bound to say that
of the manner in which every member of the Adminis-
tration co-operated in the common cause, for that energy
and zeal, ane the confidence with which we were ho-
poured by our Sovereign, the bravery of our army and
navy, and the cordial co operation of our allies would
have been unavailing if it had not been for that glorious
spirit which was displayed by the people of this country,
which not only backed up the Government in all its
efforts, that were necessary for the war, but which con-
vinced other nations, and more especially the Power
with which we were contending, that our resources were
growing with the duration of the contest. (Applause.)
Instead of being exhausted by the first year's war we
were only beginning ,to put forth our, strength, and
that indomitahle spirit of England, instead of quailing
under difficulties, was roused to additional exertion
by occasional impediments, and the national ardour in-
creased instead of diminished in proportion to the dura-
tion of the conflict. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, we were not
inattentive to other interests. besides those connected
with the grave transactions of war. It has been a sub-
ject of great satisfaction to us to reflect that at the com-
mencement of that conflict the Government of England,
concert wit that of France, made changes and re-

axations in the doctrines of war, el hich, without in any
degree' impairing the power of the belligerents against
their opponent, maintained the course of hostilities, yet
tended to mitigate the pressure which hostilities inevit-
ably produce upon the commercial transactions of coun-
tries that are at war. (Hear, hear.) I cannot help hoping
that these relaxations of former doctrines, which were
established in the beginning
of the war, practised during
its continuance, and which have been since ratified by
formal engagements, may perhaps be still further, ex-
tended ; and, 'in the course of time, those principles of
war which are applied to hostilities by land may be ex-
tended, without exception, to hostilities by sea, "so that
private property shall no longer be the object of aggres-
,,iere on either side. (Cheers.) If we look at the example
of former periods, we shall not find that any powerful
country was ever vanquished hey losses sustained by in-
'dividuals ; it is the conflicts of armies by land and fleets
by sea that decide the great eontests. of nations ; and it
is, perhaps, to be desired- that those conflicts should
he confiaed to the bodies acting under the orders
and directions of the respective States. (Cheers.)
Gentlemen, the Government certainly always felt deeply
indebted to these great commercial bodies who are
kind enough to impart us from time to title sug-
gestions for the remedy of existing evils.: We know
well tat no executive Governthent can be so per-
fectly informed of all the detailed Operatitths of commerce
as to be able, without such assistance, to devise .those
meaeures which may be best calculated to set free the
industry of the country, and to give the greatest de.
velopment to commercial enterprise. We may recollect
.=-T think it was in the reign of XIV. or Louis
XV.—that the Governnieut of the day applied to per-
sons engaged in commerce to know how dt could assist
them. The answer was, " Leave us alone, don't 'govern
too much." .(Hear.) That doctrine has, fortunately, of
late years, been the basis of commercial legislation and
administration ; but, without governing too much, arid
leaving commerce alone, there still from time to time
may be measures which not only may leave commerce
alone, but may assist its development, and by that means
contribUte to the growth of the wealth and prosperity
of the country. Gentlemen, this town must be remark-
able emong the great communities of the land. Your
fleets exceed in amount some of the fleets of former
kingdoms and empires. There is no eea upon which your
noble ships are not found, no shore washed by the most
distant ocean to which your great vessels do not carry the
produce of the industry of this great country. You
have also done that which is especially connected with
one of the topics upon which you have ad6essed me
—a thing worthy of admiration, and accompanied with
immense advantage. You have, if I may say so, bridged
the Atlantic. You have connected, by establishing a
rapid intercourse, I will not say of two nations, for two
nations they are not, but two branches of the same na-
tion—(hear)—the opposite shores of the great Atlantic.
It was the remark of Mr. Burke, when discussing the
operations of the American war, that it was difficult to
carry on a war when seas rolled and months intervened
between the order and its execution. Well, gentlemen,
how changed are the circumstances from what they were
then I It is quite true that the same seas still roll, and
that they are lashed by the same conflict of the elements,
but theperiod of communication which was then counted
in mouths is now only numbered by days. (Hear.) But
a greater change may still be marked, for those orders
which Mr. Burke spoke of were orders for military ope-
rations, and the execution of those orders a bloody con-
flict between men of kindred race. The orders that now
traverse rapidly the ocean in your vessels are orders for
peaceful commerce, the execution of which tends to the
mutual benefit of the nations inhabiting the two sides of
the broad Atlantic. I was sure that the policy which
we recently adopted in our difference with the United
States must meet with your approbation. (Hear, hear.)
We felt that while on one hand it was necessary to main-
tain the dignity of the country, and that while it was
equally necessary to show that th© calamities of war with
a kindred race would prevent us from doing what was
right and just to ourselves, that we should still waive
al minor and petty considerations, that we ought not
to take advantage of circumstances which might perhaps
have justified the expression of angry feelings—that

it was more dignified to look at what we believed to be
the friendly feeling of the great mass of the people
of the United States than to take too muoh notice of
circumstances in a narrower sphere that might, perhaps,
have justified feelings of irritation. .(Cheers.) The re-
sult, I think, has fully borne out the wisdom of the
course. lam persuaded that those opportunities of
frequent intercourse which are afforded to the people of
the two countries will, beyond anything else, contribute
to maintain between them that harmony which acquaint-
ance and personal intercourse form the best foundation
for—that the mutual interests which commerce esta•
blishes will be cemented- by an intimate acquaintance
with each other ; and I am sure that, in proportion as
your prosperity increases—in proportion as your enter-
prise is developed, in the same proportion may we look
to the cementing permanently those ties of friendship
and good-will which exist, and ought to be perpetuated, ,
betweep the people on the two shores. (Cheers.) I can
only wish, in conclusion, that this great community may
long prosper, and may long continue, by your enterprise,
by your skill, by your prospetity, to be an essential ele-
ment in the power and progression of this country, and
thereby contribute, as I trust it will, to the diffusion of
throughout the world. (Applause.)
The noble Viscount subsequently presented himself at
the balcony overlooking the Exchange area, which was
crowded by merchants representing the wealth and com-
mercial activity of the port, who cheered his lordship
most vocleriusly. He thanked them warmly for the
gratifying reception they had given to him, and stated
that the interests of Liverpool were bound up with the
interests of the countryat large, spoke of the importance
of the port, and expressed a hope that it would long
continue to enjoy the fruits of the energy and enterprise
of its people.

Aft-er taking lunch with the Mayor in the Town-hall
his Lordship proceeded on 'Change, where he was re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. He proceeded to
the newsroom, aid there delivered a few words of thanks
for the cordial greeting they had accorded to him.
When he returned to London, he said, he should tell
his colleagues that Manchester and Liverpool were the
most important commercial cities in the world.
His lordship had subsequently a sail on the river in a
steamer, which afforded him -an opportunity of seeing
the extent of the docks and the nature of some of the
improvements on the Cheshire shore. Messrs. M'lver
and Co. bad one of their vessels anchored in the river,
decorated with English, French, American, and Italian
flags, and as the steamer passed the Niagara she fired a
salute. His lordship afterwards visited the Albert Dock
warehouses and the Sailors' Home.

Lord and Lady Palmerston and Sir Benjamin Hey-
wood were then conveyed to the railway station, return-
ing to Manchester by the 4.30 p.m. train.

ANOTHER GENTLEMAN DROWNED IN A BATH. —An
inquest was held before the coroner of Liverpool on
Wednesday, on the body of Mr. Capes Ashlin, the
treasurer of the Health and Water Committees of Liver-
pool. The deceased gentleman was highly respected in
the town. He was an applicant for the office of corpo-
ration treasurer, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Wy-
bergh. He was 43 years of age, and appeared to enjoy
excellent health. On Tuesday evening, about 7 o'clock,
he went to the Pierhead Baths and ordered a warm bath.
It was instantly prepared for him, and he proceeded into
the dressing-room, locking the door as he went in. The
keeper heard no unusual noise or sound, and he took

for granted that all was right. After the lapse of half-
an-hour, and not hearing any stir in the ante-rootn.the
keeper became uneasy. He knocked at this door, and,
receiving no answer, his apprehensions increased, and
ho at once burst in the door. The clothes were tht-r-,
but Mr. Ashlin was not. On looking into the bath he
saw the body still there, and the head partially immersed
in water. The poor gentleman was dead. Mr. Mcrris, the
superintendent of the establishment, sent to Mr. Norris,
but he was not in, and his assistant ran down. The mes-
senger proceeded then for Dr. M'lntyre and Mr. Conn-
cillor Wagstaff. Both wore promptly on the spot, but
their assistance was unfortunately of no avail. Dr.
M'intyre stated that the cause of death was drowning,
the deceased having been seized with syncope and fallen
with his head into the water. Verdict accordingly.
A. PARISIAN ADVIINTI7RE.—A tradesman of La Cha-
pelle St. Denis recently made the acquaintance of a
pretty young woman whom lee was accustomed to meet
in the street, and on Saturdsar she gave him a rendez
vous in her chanikr at a tin le when she said her hus-
band would be absent. At the appointed hour he went
to her, and she, in receivin g him, so contrived as to
cause him to stand with his back to a closet. After they
had changed a few words the closet door was flung open,
and the young tradesman ws felled to the ground by
a vio!ent blow on the head ; at the same moment a
man stsoppirg from the closet I. iegan beating him with a
stick, and heaping abuse on hi 'm, for, as he said, trying
ta- seduce his wife. The wornas 3, in aprsarent terror;
im-
plored him to spare the young
,man ar,a take vengeance
on her, as she alone, she said, `vas guilty ; but the man
Pushed lier front the room, and then, 'after making some
grand phrasal about the wrong ' .which the young man
had contemplated doing him, ani i about the right he had
to take terrible vengeance on Li na, he. said if the other
would give him a bill for 300 f. he woeild let him go, and
would not even prosecute him bef' 're -the tribunals. The
tradesman signed the bill and Is it, "but he immediately
made a declaration to the police ,of :•what had occurred,
and they arrested the man. As turned out that the
woman was not his wife, she alsoiwatt arreated.—Gatig-

REVIEW OF THE TROOPS AT CHATHAM" Gig
RISON BY 211 E DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.

At a late hour yesterday evening a telegraphic de-
spatch was transmitted from the Horse Guards to Col.
W. H. Eden, the commandant of this garrison, inti-
mating that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
Cotnranneling-in-Chief, would visit Chatham this morning
at au early hour, for the purpose of brigading the whble
of the troops belonging to the several branches of the
service stationed at this garrison, the inspection being
undertaken will the view of testing the effidency of
several boa is of troops when brigaded together. On
receivinelthe intelligence Col. Eden immediately issued
the usual orders for the troops to be paraded at an
early hour this morning, in heavy marching review
order, to await the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge.
Accordingly, the whole of the duty men belonging co
the depots at the Provisional Battalion, under the cella-
mend of Colonel H. Jervis, the commandant, assembled
this morning on the general parade-ground of Chat-
ham Barracks in review order. The corps of Royal
Engineers and the East India Co.'s Sappers and Miners,
under thecornmand of Colonel H. Sandharn, director of
the I?.oyalEneineers' establishment, also assembled in
the square at'Brompton Barracks ; and the Corps of
Marine Light Infantry, under the command of Colonel
J. A. Phillipee R.M., assembled at their barracks, when
the whole body marched to the great Lines, preceded by
their respsctive bands, and took up their positions.
His Royal Highness arrived at the Strood station from
London shortly before 10 o'clock, Khere he was received
by Colonel Eden, Major Fairfax Hassard, R,E , and
Major G. B. Rodney, R.M. He was accompanied by
one of his aides-de-camp, Major J. H. Clifton, and also
by Colonel W. F. Forster, K.H., Deputy Adjutant.
General. A considerable number of persons congre-
gated on the platform of the station awaiting the arri-
val of hie Royal Highness. On alighting from the train
the Duke, who was dressed in the uniform of a general
officer, mounted his own charger, and proceeded at once
to qiatlaam Lines, where the review was to take place.
On arriving at the drawbridge leading into the garrison,
a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the sa'uting bat-
tery, by a party of gunners belonging to the Royal Ma-
rines. His Royal Highness reached tho lines a few
minutes after 10, where the whole of the troops were
drawn up awaiting his arrival. The depots comprising
the Provisional Battalion were in the centre of the line ;
the folio wing regiments being represented at the revia ,
viz :-sth (Fusiliers), Bth (the King's), 10th, 12th, 24th,
26 h, (Camel a eals), 27th (funiskilliner), 29th, 32d, 35th
(Royal Site see), 37,11, 40th, 431 (Light- Infantry),
45th, 52:1 (L'ght In'autry), 53d, 60th (Royal Rifles),
Glen 64th, 7401 (Highlanders), 75th, 78th (High.
lan inns). 81st, 83d, 84th, 86th, and 87th (Royai
Fusilier..). The Royal Engineers were drawn up on the
right, whilst the Royal Marines occupied the left; the
Medical Staff Corps, under the command of Major S G.
Banbury, were on the extreme loft. The line thus
formed by this body of troops, numbering about 4,000
men, extended half a mile.
The troops, on the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge,
presented arms, afterwhich Lis Royal Highness, attended
by a numerous staff, rode slowly up and down the line,
making a careful inspection of the whole body. Oa
passing the Royal Marines the band played "Rule Bri-
tannia," and the other bands of the battalions played as
the Duke pa: Bed, His Royal Highness then made an
inspection of the recruits, who were drawn up at the
rear ; and in time coarse of his examination made a re-
mark that the tuoce of three•fourthe of the men of the
Royal Engineers were too long for them. The whole of
the divisions, 23 ia numieer, then marched past his Royal
Highne.s in quick time, vigil bands playing and colours
flying. After accomplishing tLie enevement they were
formed into contiguous quartcr•distent columns on tee
leafing divisions of battalions, and opening out, again
marched past in quick time, the Engineers being first,
the line next, and after them the Royal Marines. The
troops then deployed into line on the right companies of
b atelier's? advanced, and retired from the right of corn-
pollee by 'files, retired, wheeled into line, and formed
into mass of contiguous quarter-distant column. The
teatime vres that f llowed consisted of advancing in direct
cche'on, form into squaretoreceive cavalry, and re-corm
into quarter-distant column. The troops were put
through their various movements by Col. Eden, and the
manner in which they were executed reflected the great-
est credit on the line, Engineers, and Marines, and proved
the high state of discipline of the troops at this garrison.
On the conclusion of the review his Royal Highness
formed the whole of the battalions into three sides of a
square,. the regiments of the line being in the centre,
with the Engineers and Marines on the right and left
respec ively. The duke then addressed each of the bat-
talions :separately, informing the troop of the Provisional
Battal:on that be was very much gratified with their ap-
pearance that day, and the manner in which they bad
executed the various movements had done them very
great credit ; and considering. the number of soldiers se-
lected from so many different regiments, it was exceed-
ingly creditable to Colonel Jervis to have the corps
un ter his conomni in such an extremely satisfactory
sotto of discipline. He then complimeuted Colone
Set:them cod the corps of
thatßoy in whichal Engineers on the man-
ner distinguished body of troops had con-
ducted themselves that day ; after which his Royal High-

Mr. Coleman mentioned that the estimate of the securi-
ties, put down at 16,0001., was an exceedingly low valua-
tion, inasmuch as that there could be no doubt whatever
of its realising the full amount ; securities to the ered4ors
who held for the whole of their debts, in the gross of
155,6901., had cost Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co.
215,0001. The valuation of assets had been gone into
very carefully by Mr. Henderson, and after making every
allowance for depreciation, the computation of 105,0001.
might be regarded as a low figure. With reference to
Messrs. Glyn and Co., they were in this pekition—they
might dispose of the whole of their securities, and pay
themselves at once ; but with the liberality which in-
variably characterised the conduct of the firm in refer-
fence to such matters, it was not their intention to realise
at present, but by holding them over for a few months
there would no doubt be sufficient realised to leave a
surplus for distribution amongst tke creditors. As to the
tools and furniture, it had been the custom of the firm to
take off their value a sufficient sum for depreciation from
year to year, which enabled Mr. Henderson to take a
pretty accurate estimate of what they were worth at
this moment ; of course if the concern was broken up,
and these articles were brought to the hammer, as every-
one knew, that would be a very considerable loss. The
materials had been valued at the market price. The
amount due from debtors had been very carefully consi-
dered, and in his judgment the amount put down in
the balance-sheet wan a reliable one. In the month of
June, 1855, Messrs. Fox and Henders, n col i lered tha
they had a surplus of 115,0001., and further profits had
been made since that time ; but the losses ha been
greatly in excess. There was a loss of 70,0001. on the
Danish (Zealand) Railway ; this, with losses in other
engagements, and on the securities, made a total of
160,0001. Such was a general explanation of the affairs
of the firm, and of the circumstances under which the
present difficulty had been brought about. Beyond this,
Mr. Coleman said he was ready to answer any question
put to him, so that it could be done without pre-
judice to the estate. The meeting was next addressed
by Mr. Murray, who stated that he represented both
the secured and the unsecured creditors in London, all
of whom were desirous of showing every consideration
possible for the firm ; in this spirit his clients were
ready to de everything in their power to assist in rea-
lising the assets as well as it was possible. Messrs. Glyn
and Co. held securities, which they would take time to
realise, so that as little loss as possible might ensue,
Which would be otherwise if there was a forced on sale or
bankruptcy. Other cliet. t of his, Mc,srs. Hambro, were
willing to wait; they also held securities, and would do
anything rather than annihilate the estate, and send two
such men again upon-the world ; rather than this they
would waive their claim. There were three courses open
to this meeting ; the first was bankruptcy ; the second to
wind up under inspection, and the third to offer a compo-
sition. All present knew the'amount of loss incident to a
bankruptcy ; there was not only the great cost, but the
loss that would accrue from a forced sale of such stock
as Messrs. Fox and Henderson possessed ; and after much
consideration the creditors in London thought it best for
the interest of all parties that the estate should be wound
up under inspection. The plan he suggested was that
a deed of inspection should be prepared, and that five
gentlemen should be selected from this meeting, with
whom the creditors in London would co-operate; in this
district the amount of debts did not exceed from 30,000/.
to 40,000/., but as the creditors were numerous, it was
thought better that the inspectors should be named here.
The deed would of course contain all proper covenants,
and power to make a considerable allowance to Messrs.
Fox and Henderson • by this mode he thought the es-
tate would be wound up best for the interest of all
parties.
Mr. J. LORD, merchant, made a few observations ex-
pressive of his regret that he had been the means of, in-
troducing the parties connected with the Danish
(Zealand) Railway to Messrs. Fox and Henderson. At
one period the affair promised to be mitremely valuable
to the contractors ; but there was aVearth of labour,
and some other unfavourable circumstances, which ulti-
mately resulted in heavy loss ; it was admitted, however,
by all parties that the work could not have been better
done. As a small creditor, he was willing to accede to
any proposition ; and would gladly consent to leave the
matter with Mr. Henderson.

The CHAIRMAN said he believed that all parties were
willing to hold the securities, until the best that was
possible could be made of them ; it might be that ulti-
mately they would realise more than the estimate.
Mr. MURRAY then suggested the five gentlemen named
below should act as inspectors, the debts of these in the
aggregate amounting to 20,000/.
A question was asked by Mr. KEIIPSON as to whe-
ther the loss of 70,0001. on the Dubli❑ Railway arose
from an excess of work over the contract.
Mr. CoLEMAN said it would not be prudent to reply
more than generally. The fact was that the number of
yards to be excavated bad been much under-stated ;
the Zealand Company were informed of the fact at the

Linle, and the contractors allowed to go on. The work
d been done, and satisfactorily done ; and as repre-
sentations had been made in the proper quarter, it was
hoped that Mes3re. Fox and Henderson would be to
some extent reimbursed ; but there was no legal claim ;
it was a debt of honour, and not regarded as anything
in the assets.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS mentioned that he had had a con-
versation with a Daoe as recently as yesterday, and he
spoke of the excellent manner in which this line had
been constructed.

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. W.
WILLIAMS, the following resolutions were passed with
one dissentient only :

"ahat it is the opinion of this meeting that the affairs
of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co. should be liquidated
under inspection, and that the following gentlemen be
appointed inspectors, viz : Mr. Joseph Robinson, Mr.
James Timmins Chance, Mr. Charles Lloyd Browning,

L') DON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1556.

The visit of Lord PALMERSTON to Manchester
has been closely followed by one to Liverpool.
It would scarcely be judicious on the part of the
Premier when honouring the manufacturing., to
neglect the commercial, metropolis of England.
Had he abstained from visiting the latter it might
not only have occasioned domestic jealousies, but
I,d to serious misconceptions amongst other na-
tions. The cordial concurrence of all classes of
the population with the foreign policy of the Go-
vernment might not only have been doubted, but
grave mistakes occasioned on the all-important
question—mistakes tending to produce very
untoward results. When, however, it is
seen that the manufacturing and commercial
interests two such important elements
in Englisk society are thoroughly united
on the grand topics of the day, and that
they unhesitatingly endorse the Ministerial policy
—the strength thereby conferred on the Govern-
ment will go far to prevent any erroneous
calculations based on supposed differences between
that Government and th 3 community at large.
It is, in fact, the best answer to the recent
declaration of a French Ministerial journal—the
Constitutionnel—that it does " not believe that
the English people are prepared to ratify such a
policy, or to accept with joy, the consequences it
may entail." Two of the most important sections
of tha, body politic have already, by their enthu-
siastic plaudits, ratified' that policy ; and although
they would deeply regret any renewal of hosti-
lities, or weakening of the friendly ties by which
we are connected with the brave and magnani-
mous people of France, they would still not
shrink from any consequences which the steady
persistence in the course which the honour of
Great Britain imperatively marks out might
entail.

There is not, perhaps, at this moment a more
' popular man in the United Kingdom than the
First Lord of the Treasury—and why ? How
has this great increase of public confidence and
approbation been obtained ? Simply in conse-
quence of the bold and manly enunciation of
sentiments befitting his high position, and such
as might have been anticipated from the PAL
MERSTON of former days—the truly English
Minister, the author of the emphatic declaration
that " England had no cousins !" It was owing
to his bold assertion, quoted in our leader of yes-
terday, that " the duration of the Peace must
depend on the honour and fidelity with
which its conditions arc observed." And the direct
application to Russia—" That Power which
brought upon itself the hostility, either active or
moral, of all Europe, by a forgetfulness of inter-
national rights and duties." On the due ob-
servance and faithful fulfilment of the very lenient
terms and stipulations imposed on Russia by that
Treaty will directly depend the permanent peace
and tranquillity of Europe.
These few sentences, already circulated by the
Press throughout the entire' country, have con-
firmed friends and converted opponents. Whatever
minor differences may exist ou points of domestic
policy are all merged in the great, the vitally
important topic of the day. Who will best sustain
the dignity, honour, and prestige of Great
Britain through the impending crisis, is

the only question which arises in the
mind of every true-hearted Englishman ;
and inasmuch as the views and opinions of Lord
PALMERSTON are eminently satisfactory on that
point, he will receive the cordial support of the
country until some variation between his profession
and praetice be discovered. Should that discre-
pancy unfortunately occur, great indeed will be
the disappointment, and terrible the revolution
of sentiment, but we hope, we believe, in more
auspicious results. If left to himself—if unfet-
tered by sinister influences—Lord PALMERSTON
will faithfully observe the spirit as well as the
letter of his undertakings. Should he be coerced
into an unworthy line of policy, he well under-
stands what the exigencies of his position, as well
as a respect for his political character, will
require—and sooner will he surrender place
and power than consent to forfeit the
high position which ho now occupies in the
estimation of his country. Let him still extend
protection to his fellow-subjects in whatever
quarter of the globe they may be placed. Lot him
cause to be known to every nation, that a wrong
or insult inflicted to the person, or to the pro‘
perty, of even the meanest citizen of Great Britain
will beas promptly noticed and vigorously avenged
as if it were offered to the most exalted in our
land. Either will be a blow against the majesty
' of England—and will be treated with similar un-
flinching resolution. All we can add is our cor-
dial concurrence in the aspirations of his 'an-morons
and important audiences, who listened ko his in-
spiring declarations in the two g•-,:eat towns of
Lancashire—the expression of a fe,e vent hope that
the Noble Lord may long be sprArcld to his QUEEN
and country, to preside °vier an Administration
conducted ou these statesman-like and national
principles !

A Feelrr has just been thrust out—inquisitively
yet timorously, like a snail's-horn—anent Mr.
CORDEX: and the West Riding of Yorkshire ! It
has been, so to speak, inquiringly intimated that
the Great Free Trade Apostle may not seek at the
next general election the suffrages of England's

most numerous, and so far in some sense most
important, constituency. Judicious isn't it ?
Perhaps it might be as well for one or two more
of our leading statesmen to take a leaf out of Mr.
COBDEN'S hook—Mr. COBDEN, who for once again
appears to be wise in his generation. That is to
yifeorithtesertunioured withdrawal from the proxi-
matefor the West Riding of the quonda'n
pet of the League re anything more than the
prying, nervous little Feeler aforesaid. Lord JOHN

" wide, wide world," has the small political Jehu
! who bath upset the coach now " many a time and
oft"—what glimmering shadow of a shade of a
I chance has my Lord Jourr RUSSELL of coming
in
even as the tail of the four successes on the occa-
sion of the next aggregate poll at the London
Guildhall '? And

there will be a clear sweep enough after the
dissolution of the present Parliament. A dis-
solution not at all impossible in this approachiug
vcar of grace 1357. When, for, instance, Mr.
JAMES SiDLEIR will be at last, of course politely,
chass6ed out of Sligo ! When Mr. litiumitly
BItOWN will taste in due season the bitter dregs •
lying perdu at the bottom of that 70,000/.
"draug

" good men and true" of Tewkesbury. When
Glas--But the catalogue might be lengthened
almost interminably : so fruitful have the last two
or three sessions been of tests to the reputability
and respectability of all ranks and classes of men
in the lower branch of the Imperial Legislature !
Wherefore, revenons a nos moutons, or rather,
eon:ling back from the vulgar flock to one conspi-
cuous bellwether—(for contagious we do earnestly
hope the hinted example here spoken of may prove
in the "long run" among the roXXot. of "burst•up"
reputations !)—How about Mr. COBDEN and the
West Riding ? Let us believe and trust that the
Feeler alluded to is after all something more than
a mere Feeler : that "RICHARD" may so far be
"himself again" that he will display sufficient
sagacity to prefer retirement to expulsion, a volun-
tary submission to an involuntary disgrace. He
had sagacity enough of yore to recognise the wis-
dom of the old song about—

"Never being off with the old love
Until you are on with the new"—

seeing that he originally declined being put in
nomination for any other place than Stockport—
and was only elected at last for the West Riding
"unbeknown" to himself while he was making his
memorable tour of Europe to the tune of some
80,0001. chinking down at home in the golden
money—boxes of the Free Trade Testimonial.
And so—the " old love" Stockport was deserted
for the blandishments of a rival of more showy
embonpoint. And so—as a fitting consum-
mation to this recent and affecting episode
in the " Loves of the Triangles -we come at last
to the touching denouement, in which the faithless
wooer, the fickle Lothario of the " situation," is
threatened, in expiation of his erratic liaisons, with
being jilted by his last love, the false fair of the
West Riding ! A vengeance, this, for the snubbed
and despised Dulcinea of Stockport ! Well-a-day,
there is a NEMESIS, it would seem, even for Poli-
tical Bagmen ! And bladders are still liable to
burst ! And the rusty spur may be hacked from
the boot, and the dagger of lath broken above
the head of a mountebank—as significantly as the
golden spur was shorn from the mailed heel and
the damasked blade of Toledo snapped in twain
over the draggled plume and tarnished casque of
the hlughtiest Preux Chevalier of the Age of
Chivalry !

The semi-official Constitutionnel has been se-
verely rebuked by the fully official Moniteur for
its undue interference in matters far beyond its
control and authority. No doubt its managers
thought that they were rendering good service to
the State in following up the hint thrown out by
its leader. But the wandering hound, who " gave
tongue" beyond the limits authorised by the
director of thq chase, and started in pursuit of
fresh game, has been promptly and effectually
" whipped in" by the literary reneur. The itioni-
tear only opened at the English Press ; the Con-
stitutionnel virulently attacked the English Go-
vernment ! The former contented itself with an
appeal to the good sense of the English people
against what it was pleased to term "the calumnies
put forward by different organs of the English press."
The latter also appeals to the same good sense,
but against what ? Against the Government
itself, which it indirectly accuses of being inclined
"to re-enter the lists, not certainly to assure the
execution of the Treaty of Paris, but in order to
tear it to pieces, impudently, before the eyes of
the world, with the view of satisfying an ambition
momentarily disguised!" This is indeed a grave
accusation, and coming from a journal known to
obtain much, if not all, of its inspiration from the
Cabinet of the Tuileries, would, if lei t uncontra-
dieted, have gone far "to destroy the confidence
between the two Governments, and tended to dis-
unite two nations whose alliance is the best gua-
rantee for the peace of the world !"

In attacking the Times the Constitutionnel, to
U3O the homely but expressive illustration of one
of Queen ELIZABETH'S mayors, " took the wrong
sow by the ear." Our contemporary has replied,
in an article wkich we have extracted into
another part of this day's impretsion, and which
so fully and ably discusses the question, that it
would be almost an act of supererogation to add
a single argument to those which the Leviathan
has adduced. That article we earnestly com-
mend to the calm and attentive consideration of
our readers. It. ,will well repay perusal, inas-
much as it places one of the most interesting
questions of the day in a correct and judicious
point of view--..one that enables us to regard it in
all its varied phases.

But it also brought down on its head what to
it was a still more stringent castigation. It pro-
cured for the Editors the public reproof of the
official organ, which was doubtless accompanied
by a solemn admonition in private fro:a those
wliose wishes tho Constitutionnel iq bound to
respect and obey. It may be very painful to the
Parisian Pistol to be cor:apelled to eat its
leek ; but it has no alternative. It must
swallow the unpalatnle morsel. It may grumble
and make wry ff'..ces—but there is no help for it,
for it must pay the penalty for its uncalled for
interfere:ace and meddling. It may endeavour
"to easo its mind" by an onslaught on the
Yagiish Press in general, and the Times in particu-
lar ; but should it do so, it will scarcely improve
its humiliating position. We venture to promise
that the gage it may be pleased to fling down will
bo promptly lifted, and that it will find a doughty
champion tocontend for the rights and privileges
of British Journalism.

We can readily understand the vexation and
annoyance of the French Ministry at the indis-
creet and unauthorised intrusion of the Constitu-
ti;»tnel into a matter wholly beyond the limits
heretofore assigned to it. As the Moniteur truly.
declares, " to envenom a discussion is not the way
to facilitate its solution !" The Constitutionnel has
endeavoured to do so, and has been emphatically
and unequivocally repudiated. We cannot, how-
' ever, regret its attack, inasmuch as it has elicited
from the Moniteur the distinct declaration that
England and France agree upon all the
great questions of the day in Europe, and are
only divided upon one of very minor interest.
Let the whipped hound then slink back to his
kennel, and henceforward abstain from yelping
after too high game, or trespassing beyond the
limits assigned for his action. He is only in-
tended
to occupy the subordinate position of fol-
lowing with the pack, and cannot be entrusted
with the responsible duty of "leading the cry."

The Chief Commissioner of Works may con-
g,Tatulate himself an having achie:vea a miracle.
He has not, to be rmre, drawn blood from a stone;
that long-despaireit of feat remains to be at-.
tempted, but he 'has done what many will count
quite as difficult ; he has awak-en,2d the Metropo-
litan Board is a sense of shame. I?isum teneatis,
he has put the I 3oard on its--dignity ! His well-
merited and we :11-tempered rebuke has positively
had this effect Its dignity ! That a popular
Ivresentative Board which does its duty is not
without cons iderablo dignity, and ought to be
twiacious of 'it, we would be the last to deny. •
But this Board, or rather the majority of it—for
we recog,ctise. good men and true among its mem-
bers—this Board stand on its dignity—the t

notion has made us " laugh consumedly."
Why, the only pretence to dignity it
can make—it has frittered every valid claim away
—is, it can chafe under rebuke without arising
t• repentance. It reminds us of SWIFT'S im-
promptu on the building of a mafrzine in
Dublin :

" 4 wondrous proof of Irish sense,
Here Irish wit is seen ;
When nothing's left for a defence,
They build a magazine !"
Its dignity ! fence that. Why, if there bad
been a deliberate design on the ,part of certain
members to divest the Board of all claims to
respect, and contrast its proceedings as unfavour-
ably as possible with those of the London Corpo-
ration, no better means could have been selected
than they have systematically adopted. The
dignity of men who have done their best to bring
representative institutions into contempt ! Had
the Board any dignity about it, instead of wasting
its time as it did yesterday in the most ridiculous
assumption of its being outraged by Sir BENJA-
MIN HALL'S rebuke, it would have sunk the past
l•wer " than e'er plummet sounded," and have
imitated the praiseworthy example he had just
set them, by doing in a few days what, at their
rate of speed, should have occupied him a greater
number of months. The dignity, forsooth,
of men who persevere in the obstruction
of all improvements, as further demonstrated
by their rejection of the plan of the Government
engineers for the new street in Southwark, to
which Sir BENJAMIN HALL had given his assent,
at the same time promising the money he had in
hand should be forthcoming for its accomplish-
ment ! The dignity of men apparently so eaten
up by spleen as to prefer the fate of the Kilkenny
cats to coming to terms with the Chief Commis-
sioner, one of the very best friends of representa-
tive institutions !

" 0, poverty of earth I
That men do deeds that win them evil names,
And spurn the names but not the deeds that won them

Sir BENJAMIN HALL has nothing to apprehend
from any deputation of the Board, however nume-
rous. The sterling dignity of a man who does
his duty will ever rebuke the ridiculous assump-
tion of dignity by those who don't. Let him but
wait with patience, and he will witness the recon-
struction of the Board, and recognise in its work-
ing all he, its parent, can reasonably desire.
