The Rev. W. YATE begged to thank them most cordially
for the kind way in which they had been pleased to receive
the toast. In reference to Mr. Way, he could only state
that he had known him now about 14 years, and he had
never mot arson for whom he had a greater respect and
esteem. (Hear.) He was also quite sure, from what had
fallen under his notice when in attendance at the railway
station, that the travelling public felt likewise a great re-
spect for him; indeed it could scarcely be otherwise, for
he was always kind and attentive to every one. It

was true that he sometimes had an unplelsant duty
to perform, but then it was invariably performed
in so pleasant a manner as in a great measure
to remove the unpleasantness from those who
might happen to be the objects of it. (Applause.) He
expressed a.hopet in conclusion, that the excellent testimo-
nial of 200 sovereigns would be as useful to Mr. Way as the
cup_ and salver would be ornamental. (Cheers.)
The Camino:sr having called upon the company to
charge their glasses with bumpers, rose to perform the most
important duty devolving upon him that evening. ; and
while expressing his regret that the task had not fallen into
abler hands trusted that they would bear with him and take
the will for The deed, It was now for him to present to Mr.
Way the !handsome -cup and salver, together with that
which the cup contained, and which altogether ho believed
approached in value to something like £250. After this,
he thought he need say but very little with regard to the
estimation in which that gentleman was held by all who
had been brought in contact with him, as the fact spoke for
itself. He (the chairman) had not had the pleasure of
knowing Mr. Way for so many years as had most of the
gentlemen composing that meeting, his acquaintance being
limited to the comparatively brief period of five years ; but
this he could say, that during the time referred to ho had
experienced from him a very great deal of kindness, both in
his official capacity and in his private life—(applause)---
and he had no hesitation in saying that those who had
formed a more extended intimacy with Mr. Way had ex-
perienced a larger share of kindness, from the simple fact
of having known him longer. But, in order to show how
universally respected was Mr. Way, he would only refer
them to the list of subscribers to the testimonial, by which
they would perceive that his friends were not confined to
Dover alone, but were spreadtabroad over the land. (Hear,
hear.) The presentation of this handsome testimonial
ould redound to his honour to the day of his death, and
he trusted that the recipient would ever remember the oc-
casion of their assembling around ,the festive board that
evening. He (the chairman) made the presentation with
a great deal of pleasure, and hoped Mr. Way would live
many years to drink a cup of claret whenever any, of his
friends should call upon him. (Loud cheers.) [The
chairman then presented the silver cup and salver
to Mr. Way, at the same time proposing his health
—long life, prosperity, peace, and happiness to him. He
next handed to him the purse of 200 sovereigns, promising
him that he would find but very few counterfeits amongst
them.]
Mr. WAY, on rising to acknowledge the flattering testi-
mony of esteem which had been paid him, was received with
' considerable applause. He said he had really so much for
which to thank them, and so much for which to be grateful
to'them, that he scarcely knew where he should begin. He
came to Dover in the year 1844, which was now about 15
years since, with a determination to carry out two or three
objects, the principal of which was, to watch over, to the
best of ability, the interests of the company which he
had the honour to serve. He could assure them that he
thought then, he ever had thought, and he hoped he should
continue to think, that he could never do too much for the
accommodation, the gratification, and the pleasure of those
who travelled by the South Eastern Railway. (Applause.)
During the time he had been the superintendent at the
Dover station—of course they could not compete in the
amount of traffic with the London station, inasmuch as the
number of passengers who passed through there in one year
was equal to the number he had seen here during his loca-
tion amongst them—but he could safely say that no less
than 15,000,000 of passengers had passed through Dover
station during the time he had mentioned, and he believed
there were not 15 individuals out of that large number who.
could say that he had not done all that he could to make
their travelling as comfortable as possible. (Hear.) Amongst
this 15,000,000 were reckoned a number of illustrious visitors
to her Majesty the Queen, a greater number of whom had
passed through this station than through any other outport
station in the kingdom. All those auest personages had
been satisfied with the arrangements which had been made
for their convenience as far as the journey by rail was con-
cerned; and they had presented him with several testimonials
of which he was very proud,as he knew were also the Dover
people. He could not sufficiently thank them for all this kind-
ness shown towards him,—to the worthy chairman, to the
secretaries (Messrs. Briggs and Forster), to his worthy
friend Mr. Yate (the treasurer), and to all the members of
the committee he begged to offer his sincere thanks; to
every one who had honoured him by placing their names
on the list, whether it be for five guineas or for ss.—(hear,
hear)—he returned his grateful acknowledgments, and he
sincerely hoped that he should never live long enough to
lose any of that pleasant gratification he felt at the present
moment in holding the esteem of his fellow townsmen.
(Applause.) When he looked around and saw so many of
his fellow townsmen assembled on this occasion to do him
honour, he was inclined to ask himself what he could do to
compensate them for all their trouble ? He could only tell
them this, that if any of them or their friends could show
him how he could possibly be of assistance to them they
would only be adding one more to the pleasures they had
already given him. (Cheers.) He had often remarked
that it was a proud day for him when he came to Dover.
On his taking up his abode here he was a perfect stranger
to the people, but they had not treated him as such, showing
him every kindness. The different mayors, also, whose
acquaintance he had had the honour to make during his
stay here, had also always treated him, both officially and
privately, with the greatest consideration, and he took that
public opportunity of thanking them. He assured the com-
pany that no one felt a greater interest in the prosperity of
Dover than he did—he would tell them that Dover must
prosper, even without the townspeople wishing it, for the
Government had seen that Dover was the key to the conti-
nent—travellers had seen it long since. (A laugh.) In
conclusion, it only remained for him again to cordially
thank them for the honour which they had done him, and
he wished he could individually as he could now collectively
thank them. If any of them at any time doubted his sin-
cerity, lot them try him—(cheers)—and if they had no way
of asking him to serve them let them ask some of their
friends who had, and if ho (lid not do anything they required
why—they might call him a Dutchman. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. W. H. PAYN next gave " The health of the Mayor
and Corporation of Dover."
Alderman WOOD returned thanks. It would have given
him greater pleasure, he said, to have seen instead of three

`Mr. MoxoN said he rose with a great degree of pleasure
to thank them for the handsome manner in which his health
had.been proposed and responded to, although he thought
that the proposer had said a great deal more of him than he
deserved. (No, no.) As long as he should remain in Dover,
he hoped ha should never do anything to disgrace the name
he bore. His object, as Mr, Briggs had truly intimated to
them, was to see Dover something superior to what it was at
present. Mr. B. Disraeli had very frequently said that there
was something looming in the distance, but, unfortunately,
there were very few in the town who appeared to open
their eyes to this fact. He heartily agreed with Major
Barnard when he urged the necessity of the townsmen
making themselves familiar with the use of arms, in order;
that they might be able to defend themselves in case ofneed.'
He assured them nothing would give him greater pleasure
than to know that Dover prospered, and every one in. it in
the same ratio. (Applause.). Dover was a place to which
he had taken a fancy, and in which he had taken up his
abode. He had many esteemed friends here, amongst whom'
he might mention his friend on his right, and his friend on
his left hand ; and he thought he might take the liberty of
going the round of the table, and whenhe had included the
whole of them, he trusted that there would be none who
would have reason to regret the day in. Which he set his
foot in Dover. (Applause.). The chairman then paid :a
compliment to the ladies who were witnessing the proceed-
ings from the other end of the room,,hurnourously remark-
ing that he had observed there such an amount of whits
cambric as must be highly gratifying to everyone pre:lint.
(Laughter.) He begged once more to be allowed to tender
his most sincere thanks for the honour they had done him in
drinking his health. (Cheers.)
Mr. BRIGGS, sen., intimated that he had been repiested
by the chairman and vice-chairman to propose the next
toast, which he conceived to be of the first consequence to
the individuals composing this town, because, individuals
to:ether caused in the aggregate the prosperity or otherwise
of a town like Dover, which was one of the most important'
in the British empire.
.(Hear.) If we would have prosperity
as a whole, we must wish it to each individual ; in propor-
tion as trades or professions were in a thriving condition so
would a town flourish; and let him also add, that the hap-
piness of the whole community was vested in the happiness
of each single person, and if Dover was ever to be prosper-
ous, it must be when all divisions and dissensions were at an
end. (Loud cheers.) Whether in the Town Council or
eliewhere, it was necessary that business should be carried
on irrespective of any party feeling whatsoever, and then,'
and only then, would the town be in a prosperous condition.
(Hear.) But he (the speaker) had suffered because of his
expressed determination to follow an independent course—
he wished to see prosperity in Dover independent of sect or
party (hear hear)—and he was persuaded of this, that if
the inhabitants acted unitedly, prosperity would attend
them. He hoped, in conclusion, that the time was not far
distant when they would see all united for the good of one
another, and for the welfare of the town. He begged to pro-
pose " Prosperity to the town of Dover," and had great plea-
sure in connecting with that Oast a most venerable, excel-.
lent, and worthy man, Mr. Hipgrave. (Applause.)
The toast was drunk with great heartiness,
• Mr. HIPGRAVE responded. He remarked that when so
humble an individual iti himself was called on to do justice 'to
thetoast of the first town, he might say, belonging to the Bri-
tish empire, he felt how unequal ho was to the task. It ought
to laave been in the hands of—if the clergy, he Sh mild say the
Archbishop—(laughter)—if the military, it should have been
the general of the garrison, for he believed that even
the Prime Minister himself—(laughter)—would not be able
to do justice to a :place so extraordinarily splendid, so pro-
tected in every way by providence, an4,he might say so de-
termined as we all were and he hoped we ever should be, to
keep an enemy from our shores. The words of that noble
officer (Major Barnard) were first-rate—we ought to make
ourselves acquainted with exercise. What use was a man if
he went out at night and did not understand the system of
defending himself ? What should we able to do supposing
these human butchers arrived ? (Laughter.) Why, they
would slaughter us liki# it' flock Of sheep, had we nobody. to
rally us, nobody to guide us, no philosopher like Confucius
and all the rest of them. (Laughter.) But there were men
who were able to instruct us and put us in a right position
to defend ourselves. What must have been the feelings of
those proud Austrians, badly disciplined and badly gene-
railed, when opposed to the French army, in every way
most perfect ? However, he was net one of those individuals
who were lost in admiration and envy of the French Empe-
ror, for he believed it was his destiny to rule over the most
extraordinary people in the world--so divided, so ferocious,
so ready at all times to rush out like wild beasts of the wil-
derness to killand destroy. (Loud laughter.) How we could
expect this noble Napoleon to keep all these Wolves, and
tigers, and lions, and all the rest of the destructive animals
in the aforesaid wilderness—(laughter)—he was at a loss to
conceive—it was impossible. Why, the Emperor had no
other reason for going to Italy than because his army got
the mastery over him—they would be at something—so said
Nap, " If there is anything that wants rectifying and puri-
fying it is Italy, and we will go there first." (Laughter.)
But it was useless and vexatious for him to detain them
longer. (Cries of "No, no," and "Go on.") Italy, they
must know, was such a conglomeration, of circumstances
that he believed the first philosopher in the world was
unable to interpret what the inhabitants wished, or even
tell us what was best for theni. Then, they were divided
into so many States, when strength was in being united.
Major Barnard had called their attention to this, and ho be-
lieved that if the English nation put itself in a proper posi-
tion of defence it might laugh to scorn the whole world;
but then they must take care and put thenisehres in that
position. Consider how proud they ought to be when they
knew that they were the most extended nation on the face

who was now carrying out these gigantic works of defence,

let them be assured of this, that if they did not put them-
selves into a proper state of preparation, they would some
day or other be too late, and then they would stand every
possible chance of having their dwellings entered by the
invader, their little ails forcibly carried away, and their
wives and daughters ravished before their eyes. He begged
to thank them for the honour which they had conferred
upon him, and to inform the meeting at the further end of
all things that he was the oldest acquaintance Mr. Way had.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN then, in a complimentary speech,
gave "The health of the Fair Sex," coupling therewith the
health of Mrs. Way.

Mr. WAY, in replying to the toast, observed that he had
now been married about 20 years, and he believed it had
been the happiest portion of his life. (Applause.)
Mr. A. BOTTLE, in giving "The Press," took occasion
to advert to what had fallen from Major Barnard, with re-
spect to the volunteer movement in Dover, assuring him
that some of the Dover people were not so insensible to the
importance of fitting themselves for military functions as he
owned to suppose; A meeting; of the inhabitants had already
been held on the subject of rifle corps, and he regretted that
more had not resulted from that meeting. Perhaps in no
town in the kingdom had the call to martial pursuits been
less responded to than in Dover—not a single shilling hay-
ing been subscribed by any of its wealthy inhabitants, so
far as he could learn, on behalf of the movement. It was
gratifying to know, however, that 50 of our fellow-towns-
men had tendered their names to Government for the esta-
blishment of an artillery corps. This, he thought, showed
that the volunteer, spirit, at least, was not wanting. (Hear,
hear.) Indeed, their own inclination had at first led them
towards the formation of a rifle corps ; but, learning that
in outports such as Dover artillery corps would be of more
use, they had consented to become artillerymen, their de-
sire being to serve their country in case of need in the best
way they could. (Hear, hear.) But the artillery corps
could not yet be declared formed, for although the names
of the volunteers were down and the application forwarded
to the proper quarter, no official acknowledgment of the
offer hed yet been received. He did know that Col. Aylmer
had received instructions to commence a course of drill with
such persons as might be desirous of acquiring that kind of
instruction ; but until the services of the Dover Volunteers
were properly recognised, and they were placed on the foot-
ing of other crops of the same description, they could
scarcely regard themselves as in a position to take advant-
age of the permission thus held out. (Hear.) He had little
doubt, however, from the feeling now exhibited, that before
many days were over, a movement would be made in the
right direction, and the Dover Volunteer Artillery Corps
properly organised. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Bottle then gave
The Press." ' .

END responded to the toast.
A great number of toasts of a more personal character
Were then proposed, including the health of Dr. Morgan,
the Rev. T. B: W. Briggs, Mr. W. H. Payn, Mr. Bacon
(who had furnished the tankard and salver comprised in
the testimonial), the Visitors from London, and Messrs.
White, Genge, and Allen, 'Major Barnard, &c.
Major BARNARD, on responding, again pressed on
the attention of the gentlemen !present the importance
of great gun exercise being learnt by the civilians of
a town like Dover, so that they might be useful in
time of need. God forbid that that time should ever arrive,
for none who had ever seen the horrors of a general actin
would desire to look upon the scene again. None could
say that he funked'in his duty or hesitated to accept a post
of danger, but he fervently hoped he might never again
look upon the sights that had met his gaze upon a field of

BAY OF CADIZ (IN QUARANTINE), Nov. 22.
We have heard a good deal lately about the pro-
gress made by Spain, and the flow of foreign
travellers into the country has doubtless been in-
creased "by the belief that such progress implied
increased facilities and improved accommodation.
The health-giving climate of Malaga, so greatly
vaunted by Ford, has been preferred by many in-
valids to the soft breezes of Nice and'the sunny bay
of Naples. One hears of railways 'opening and
Of linos of steamers regularly running, and of hotels
combining English comforts and French luxuries,
and orie •is induced to believe that Spain, recently
reputed semi-African, has taken a.deserved place
among civilised countries, and no longer presents
difficulties which even a featherbed traveller may
not with impunity 'brave. I fear the picture has
bah) rather over-coloured: Spain may have in-
creased in financial prosperity, and probably has so,
since she finds money to undertake a crusade
against her ancient eneiny the Moor`; but English-
men who come hither, expecting to be speeded on
their way, and no longer to suffer fromthe intoler-
able -dilatoriness and stupidity so long and so
often a reproacW to Spanish officials, will" find
themselves wofully out in their reckoning.
Hearken to the tale of your correspondent's troubles.
He wrote to you from Gibraltar soon after noon on
the 20th inst., and quickly afterwards went on
board the. little French steamer that was to convey
him, wind and weather permitting, in eight hours
to Cadiz; but wind and weather were adverse
exceedingly. It blew a perfect hurricane round
the old rock of Gibraltar; the windows of the Club-
house Hotel were preserved only by a miracle from
being blown in, and boatmen were profiting by the
gale to demand stormy, prices for conveying pas-
sengers on board. And here let me observe, paren-
thetically, that since the opening of the Alicante and
Madrid Railway and the establishment of various
lines of steamers along the east coast of Spain the
proverbial imposition practised by boatmen, por-
ters, guides, &c., at most of the Italian ports where
the English land has been cast altogether into the
shade by the effrontery and extortion of the same
classes in the Spanish towns. Tariffs there are
none, or if there be they are unobserved, treated
with contempt and set at defiance. At Malaga,
especially, the traveller is swindled and pillaged to
any extent. Under English surveillance, things
are much better at Gibraltar, where, indeed, as far
as I have observed, there is no great ground for
complaint ; but, of coarse, a stiff breeze affords an
opportunity of making an extra dollar or two out
of the impatient and the inexperienced. Once on
board, on Sunday afternoon last, it, soon became
evident that our departure was not likely to be as
speedy as was promised and hoped. Dirtier wea-
ther I have seldom seen. Darkness came on and
we were still at anchor, a tempest raging, and the
rain descending in torrents, the weather so thick
that a move was not to be thought of. It was a
nice night in Gibraltar Bay, and we were heartily
glad when day broke, and a comparative lull
enabled us to' steam out, passing one or two
ships that had gone ashore, and finding better
weather in the Straits than could have
been expected. But our troubles were all before us,
and it is only now that I am coming to the lament-
able portion of my tale. At half-past four o'clock
yesterday we dropped our anchor in the bay
wherein I date this letter. It was broad daylight,
and we looked out anxiously' for the Sanidad, the
health boat, which was to give us pratique. We
looked in vain. Whether it was that the quaran-
tine officials were too busy in the manufacture of
cigarillos to take heed of a boat-load of intrusive

foreigners, or whether they had just dined and were
unwilling to expose their digestion to the ordeal of
a roughish sea, I am unable to say, but no Sanidad
appeared. So we• resigned ourselves to another
night on board, and were up in the morning before
the earliest-rising gull had made the tour of the
ship, to watch the coming of the health-bearing
authorities. There was no such need of haste to quit
our cots. There was time for a good deal of pacing
of the wet deck, and of cigar-smoking and mut!
tered expletives, before a sort ofgondola with eight
oarsmen, and two elderly wrinkled Spaniards sit-
ting under an awning, approached our side. Papers
were handed down, and the sanitary' officials conk.

menced their perusal. Presently one of them opened
his eyes to the widest extent, puffed out his cheeks
like Boreas, anctgave to his snuffy high-dried phy-
siognomy as astounded an expression as if Medusa's
head had suddenly been presented to his view. The
Gibraltar authorities had thought it their duty to
announce, two days before, that there were

half a dozen cases of small-pox in the military
hospital. The sick men had been kept isolated, and
the malady had not appeared in the town. But
these redeeming facts were insufficient to tran-
quillise Senor Sanidad. There was the small-pox,
the ciruelas at Gibraltar. Consequently no protique.
Push off the boat at once ! Up with the yellow
flag ! It is still a wonder to me that our captain,
a worthy Breton and a smart sailor, did not get a
fit of apoplexy from the excess of his indignation.
He swore like a Pagan, but Sanidad was not to be
affected by any amount of sacres. There was a
Spanish cavalry officer on board, newly appointed
to the staff of some General presently at Cadiz, and
who had excited general admiration by the length
of his spurs and his extraordinary escapes from
tumbling over them in ascending and descending
the soakd, slippery, cabin stairs. He was prompt
and vehement in expostulation—his General impa-
tiently awaited-him ; the expedition was about to
embark; on shore he must go. But the wizened
little Spaniard in the grimy boat was inflexible, and
off he went to call a Board to assemble and deli-
berate whether we were to be admitted. He
took with him letters and papers ; the pilot
had already gone ashore, in short, enough had
landed to infect a whole city full, if infection there
had been ; but we unfortunates were condemned to
remain tossing about far out in the bay until the
Spanish Sangrados had conferred concerning us.
To heighten the joke, in a couple of hours e boat
came from shore with permission for the Spanish
officer to land. Apparently his landing was to be
kept a sort of secret, done upon the sly; but, as
the whole ship's company and passengers were
present at his stepping into the boat, mystery
was a farce. To cut a long a story short at
this present time of writing, eight at night, this
is our position :—The ship's agents have pro-
tested against the bulk of the passengers being kept
on board, on the silly and ridiculous pretence of
quarantine, when one of them has been permitted
to land, and the Spanish authorities have tele-
graphed to Madrid for instructions, the case being
apparently too knotty for them to decide upon. It
is true that the Spanish Prime Minister is at pre-.
sent in Cadiz, but it is not his department, and he
has his hands full of more important matters. If
Madrid does not pronounce in our favour to-morrow
morning the steamer, which has little to do at
Cadiz, will proceed to Lisbon, unrelentingly bear-
ing with it the passengers who are here at their
destination. At Lisbon we shall probably be again
put in quarantine (as was lately threatened to be
done with another ship of the same company) be-
cause we come from Gibraltar, which is near Alge-
siras, where there was lately the cholera. It is
true that the cholera has ceased for some time past,
indeed, there are ill-disposed persons who say that
it never existed there to any extent, but that it was
magnified to prevent British officers going over
there from Gibraltar and spying out the nakedness
of the land, making unhandsome criticisms on

Echague's division, since embarked for Ceuta, and
so forth. But no matter, any stick serves to beat a

dog, and any pretext suffices to put an unlucky
French steamer in quarantine in the ports of the
Iberian peninsula. It is not the less true that
there are passcngers on board the lively craft
known as the Ville de Malaga, to whom a visit

to the Portuguese capital will 'be as disagreeable
as unexpected. Here is M. X—, late French
Consul at some Moorish city, and who has left in
consequence of the war, and has all sorts of
despatches to deliver and important business to
transact in Spain, and here are Major Gabion, of
the Engineers, and Captain Enfield, of her Majes-
ty's 110th, who are away from Gib. on short leave,
with a view to visit Granada and see if it be at all
like Mr. Owen Jones's representation of it at Syden-
barn, and who must be back to muster on the 30th,
under pain of an immensity of botherment, and
here is your correspondent, who—but, without in-
sisting on details, you will understand how unplea-
sant it is to be taken to the Tagus when you would
pause at Cadiz, to say nothing of the possibility
that our captain, if compelled to hoist the yellow
flag again at Lisbon, may go off in a huff to France,
dropping us in the lazaretto at Vigo. There is no

At the close of the inquiry by the Board of Trade,
Mr. Mansfield said his colleague and himself en-
tirely concurred in everything which had fallen
from the learned counsel wit reference to the
heroic gallantry shown, not merely by the captain
and crew, but also by the passengers, of the Royal
Charter up to the last moment. Everyone ap-
peared to have done his duty, even with almost
certain death before him, intrepidly and unflinch-
ingly to the last. Perhaps a nobler spectacle was
never witnessed, except in the memorable case of
the wrecr of the Birkenhead; and it was even
perhaps more remarkable in the case of ordinary
passengers of the middle and humbler ranks of life,
whose conduct was such as to make one proud of
being their countrymen. Notwithstanding what
had taken place in that court during the very long
inquiry, he understood that some persons still per-
severed in the most malignant imputations against
the late Captain Taylor, with reference to his
sobriety. It is well known that the Board of Trade
had been most anxious to receive any communica-
tions whatever which bore on the inquiry. Indeed
the Post-office had been like the lion's mouth in
Venice, from the number of accusations which
had been dropped into it. The Board of
Trade invited every person who had any
communication to make or suggestion to
offer to appear before them. Nothing of the kind
had been brought forward. On the contrary, some
names had been given as authorities for that most
malignant imputation, but the parties, on being
referred to, entirely denied it. It seemed there-
fore so groundless that Mr. O'Dowd, in his opening,
declined going into it. The whole story was en-
tirely groundless, and he (Mr. Mansfield) should
not even mention it in his report to the Board of
Trade. There can be no doubt that Captain Taylor
was a gallant and brave seaman, and it could only
be from the vilest malignty, or some other un-
worthy motive, that an attempt was made to leave
a stigma upon his character in that respect.

The following were the remarks of Mr. Aspinall,
:o which Mr. Mansfield referred .

" As long as it continued dark Captain Taylor evidently
thought it was safer to wait for daylight than to make any
attempt by boat or otherwise in such a sea to reach an un-
known coast. As soon as the light came a communication
was established under the orders of the officers with the
shore by means of the heroic conduct of the Maltese
Rogers. But for the unexpected breaking up of the ship
the bravery of that man would probably have saved almost
every one on board.
" When the hawser was passed from the ship to the shore
there was presented a picture than which it is difficult to
conceive anything more illustrative of the nobleness of Bri-
tish seamen.

" Not a man attempted to get to land except by order of
the officers. Messengers were despatched for the women
and children ; at that moment the ship broke up. When
that was told to the chief officer, Mr. Stephens, he left the
hawser and went aft in the direction where the females were,
and was doubtless lost in trying to reach them. Even at that
frightful moment we have in evidence that the fourth officer,
Mr. Croome, and the crew spent some twenty minutes in
trying to save the only female in the forepart of the ship.
As regards the conduct of the passengers,—up to this time
the conduct of the soldiers on board the Birkenhead who kept
their ranks until the ship went down has been thought
the greatest heroism on record, but if it were possible that
that should be exceeded at all, it is so now, because here we
have amass of persons not subject to command, or habituated
to discipline, men, women, and children behaving in the
most admirable manner, and showing an amount of courage
and a total absence of selfishness which ought to make every
Englishman proud of his countrymen."

of Works for carrying out improvements in the
City of London as compared to the proportion
awarded to the other metropolitan parishes.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by re-
ferring to the fact that the City of London at pie-
sent possessed a revenue of J..:00,000 per annum,
exclusive of the local taxation. The great question
.was, whether the ratepayers of the outlying dis-
tricts were to bo taxed :or those improvements of
the City of London which it would cost several
millions to carry out. The City, of 'L4ndoif don-
tributed one-tenth to the expenses of the Metropo-
litan Board, but the City had obtained the lion's
share, amounting to no less 'than 7-10ths of the cost
of City improvements. The members of the Metropo-
litan Board were all selected from the distriet board s ;
and, if that board acted in a manner contrary to
the interests or wishes of their constituents, it would
be for those constituents, at the proper time, to
infuse fresh blood lute the representative system.
Mr. Tn.Exosr (of Kensington) thought it was of
the utmost importance to carry out improvements
and widen streets in the City Of London, as the
whole of. the metropolis received benefit, thereby.
lie considered, however, that, with the coal dues
and other means at their command, the City ought
to be able to carry out those improvements. It was
only recently that, the, City refused to .part with the

proceedings of the Metropolitan Botcnohaferrtdiel.ne
Mr. DYER observed it was time that the various
conference
futurehad l
been convened, it had been said that- the City had
received' the 'll.on's share, but in. order to be jast
thef.milit acknowledge that the City was the ,hon.
Mr. ROSE, of St. Martin's, observed the majority
of the Metropolitan Board had agreed to a certain
course of action, and the present meeting was
intended to vindicate the opinion of the minority
with reference to the sum appropriated to the City
improvements. It had been said that the City had
the coal dues, but this was an error, as two-thirds
of the amount received by the City as coal dues
was paid to the Goveitment. It must be borne in
mind.that the City was the centre of the commerce,
not only of the metropolis, but of the nation, and
it was therefore not unjust that the whole of the
metropolis should contribute more than an average
portion for City improvements. It was a great
delusion that the City possessed enormous revenues
to carry out improvements. Why, Cannon-street
had cost £2,000,000 of money, and the New Cattle
Market had entailed a loss of £lO,OOO. They ought
not to lose sight of the fact that the metropolis
itself was one vast city, and it ought not to be re-
ferred to such a meeting as the present to call over
the coals the decision of the Metropolitan Board:
(Oh, oh.) It was no honour to be a member of that
board, but entailed a vait amount of labour and
anxiety on the part of gentlemen elected to the
office. Their reward was to be bullied by the
press, bullied by their constituents, and what
ter ? Why, it was very probable that no
Member of that board had ever read the blue-
books published on the question of sewerage
(hiring the time of the old Commissioners of
Sewers. -The Metropolitan Boattl acted to the
best of its judgment, although many of its members
might be comparatively ignorant on the question of
drainage. (Hear.) The City of London members of
that board were astute men of business, but the
other members of the board were sufficient to
counteract any influence on the part of the City
members that might tend to prejudice the other
districts of the metropolis.
Mr. NEWTON, Mile-end, was at a loss to know
what the last speaker intended to convey. The fact
that the City was the centre ofeommerce proved the
value of property, and that the City parishes ought
in reality to assist the outlying parishes, rather
than the reverse.
Mr. •WADE, Greenwich, as one of the former
Commissioners of Sewers, =St remark that ho
knew the system of drainage now being carried
out by the Metropolitan Board had been sanctioned
by the late Mr. Stephenson and the most eminent
engineers. With regard to the subject before the
•meeting, it was ;most unjust that the City should
receive such a proportion of the fund awarded.
Why, every outlying parish would like to carry
out improvements, but they had to pay for them.
Dr. Trueman, of Kensington, Messrs. Johnson,
Collins, and other delegates addressed the meeting
condemnatory of the course pursued by the Metro-
politan Board; and ultimatoly, on the motion of
•Mr. Austin, a resolution was adopted' setting.forth
the injustice of appropriating the funds of the out-
lying parishes to the payment of an undue propor-
tion of the cost of improvements in other parishes.
It was also resolved to forward a copy of the reso-
lution to each member of the Metropolitan Board.
The meeting then separated.

T TIE SUN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1859.

_...._.___-

The Pope is in want of subjects. Not of spiritual
subjects—of them he boasts about 200,000,000 ; but
of temporal subjects—of those who will pay taxes,
submit to autocratic decrees, and not venture to
utter or print a word he disapproves. The spiritual
subjects are obedient enough. Their very thoughts
obey him. Whether his Holiness bids them be-
lieve that the earth stands still and the sun moves,
or that the Virgin MARY was conceived by her
sinful mother, as immaculate as our LORD himself,
it is all the same. The 200,000,000—we take the

figures as he gives them—bow implicitly to the de-
cisions of the Vicar of CHRIST. We have nothing
to say against this. Let Drs. CUMMING and CUL-
LEN fight their own battles ; and let Dr. ITNEILE
join them, and make a triangular duel of it if he
likes; theology we must leave to our friend of the
Morning Advertiser, and content ourselves with the
horrible infidelity which cannot sell its belief to
any authority, either to the decrees of Pius IX., or
to the "Presbyterian standards" of Dr. CUMMING,
or to the forty articles, save us, of Dr. M'NEILE.
Our only wonder is that, with such a splendid
spiritual dominion, the worthy Pope and his friends
should be so troubled about the temporal fealty of
two or three millions of Italians. Even these
temporal rebels are on the whole, we be-
lieve, •spiritually obedient. We seem to imagine
that if two hundred millions of men bound
themselves to think as we do, we should
be quite satisfied with such an Empire
as that. We confess we never knew the tempta-
tion of having men's bodies at our mercy. To guide
opinion has been our only ambition ; and who can
tell whether, if we had been intrusted with other
weapons than those of argument, we might not
have been disposed to retain and to use them if we
could.

With our habit of viewing things, however, the
recent sayings and doings of our Hibernian friends
are very amusing. We find it difficult to read
them with becoming gravity. Sometimes, indeed,
the thought will steal in that it is all masquerade.
Our neighbours of the Green Isle are more given
to demonstration than we are. Religiously,
socially, or politically, they like a good exhibition
of the outward signs of feeling. A good shillelah-
row at a fair, to seem as if they had something to
fight for; a good mile-long procession, Orange or
Catholic, to look as if both sides had a splendid
cause and were absorbed in it ; a monster meeting,
for politics or for religious purposes—a howl, a

shout, a show, or a blow—is the delight of genuine
Irishmen. The Pro Norio displays may therefore
be but a piece of pure irishism. The PoPE and his
temporal rebels maybe only the excuse for gratify-
ing the Irish vein; much as a charitable institution
serves Englishmen as a pretext for a good guinea

dinner.
Be this as it may we have a suggestion to make I
to our Irish fellow subjects. We are of course sorry
to lose them as neighbours ; still, as large numbers
of them, to our neighbourly sorrow, Will emigrate,
why should they not go to Rome ? They would be
nearer biome there than on the other side of the
Atlantic. They could go for a song, and nearly all
the way by land ; they would find there a glorious
sun, and a political paradise. They would live
under a Theocracy. They would have priests for
their administrative rulers ; and their high priest for
their chief sovereign and sole lawgiver. If the
Romans did but know it, Heaven has descended on
earth in the Roman territories. Instead of being,
as Dr. CUNNING, and the Times, and the Morning
idvertiser impiously affirm, the Babylon or the
Scarlet Woman:of the Apocalypse, Rome is doubt-
less its New Jernsalem—the city of the blessed.
All that is wanted is citizens and subjects to appre-
ciate the blessing. Now Irishmen do appreciate it.
They are indignant at the Catholics there for not
appreciating it also. They propose to subscribe ;
to raise a penny a week, and something more; and
to furnish the POPE with a regiment of Irish sol-
diers, who shall teach the rebellious Catholics there
their duty. As PAUL lived at Rome in his own
hired house, so the POPE shall no longer live by
help of French bayonets, but by his own hired Irish
soldiers—paid by PETER'S pence, collected from the
whole population. A noble thought !
No fear of " the Saxon". at Rome. No danger of
republican democracy as in America. No want of
employment, of agricultural employment at least ;
for the whole territory adjoining the city is one
vast marsh or level, pestilential now through want
of drainage and cultivation, but capable of being
made one of the most fertile districts in the world.
It is the very place for good Irish Catholics who
are tired of Ireland, and sick of the pernicious free-
dom which men enjoy under the reign of VICTORIA.
The Romagnese and the great mass of the inhabi-
tants of the States of the Church, alas ! hate their
privileges. They hurrah for Lord ELLENBOROUGH
and the Saxons who subscribe for GARIBALDI'S mus-
kets, they curse the CULLENS who want to trample
them under the feet of their Pontiff. They resent
as heartless cruelty the wish of Irishmen and of
the Celts or Gauls of the continent, to sacrifice their
temporal liberties as an offering to the supremacy
of their Bishop. They say they are in purgatory
before their time ; while they have no hope that
their civil sufferings now will save them one hour's
future suffering, or their survivors the cost of a
single mass.
Now when the POPE wants loyal subjects, when
Irishmen are so tired of freedom that they crave an
absolute master, when they so love the POPE that
they think nothing at all of the independence and
civil rights of the nation he governs—it really does
seem as if Irishmen were made for the POPE and tho
POPE for Irishmen. There is, to be sure, an alterna-
tive. They might invite the POPE to Dublin. There
is no kind of objection to that; only there, instead
of playing the temporal ruler, he must be tem-
porarily the subject of her Majesty Queen VIC-
TORIA. She, however, would use him very kindly.
She would guarantee him full religious liberty.
He might reign as supreme as he now does in the
minds of his two hundred millions. And only to
-think of the joy there would be in Rome. Of the
illuminations there, and throughout all Italy,
because the heaviest weight on their liberties was
gone. Perhaps, after all, this would be the best
plan. Since Irishmen would be but:to) happy if
his Holiness made their house his home ; and the
Romans would be equally delighted that he had
done so. Cannot the suggestion be sent to Con-
gress? What glory it would be to Ireland to solve
the European difficulty !

The three arch-apostles of Free Trade received
yesterday, at Liverpool, what they have eminently
well deserved—a magnificent demonstration. It
was a demonstation, however, at the hands of others
than those who are simply Free Traders—the occa-
sion being the long-talked-of soiree, accorded in re-
spectful appreciation—to Major-Gen. PEYRONNET
THOMPSON, late M.P. for Bradford, and the witty
author of the Corn Law Catechism—to Mr.
RICHARD COBDEN, M.P. for Rochdale, the dealer
of the death-blow to that old Giant Blunderbore,
the Ogre of Monopoly—and last, but certainly
not the least, either in energy, ability, ;or
eloquence, to Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, most
pugnacious of Quakers, the ultra-reforming and
superlatively out-speaking M.P. for Birmingham.
Scanning the deeply interesting record of last
night's proceedings at the Philharmonic Hall, at
Liverpool—proceedings which will be found given
in full detail elsewhere in to-night's impression of
our broadsheet—we can think of no better or more
appropriate sentiment for the nonce than that
embodied in Lord NELSON'S heraldic motto, familiar
as household words on the lips of the people, Palma m
qui meruit ferat. Each of these three eminent
citizens has long since earned the right to bear
aloft in his hand the well-earned palm of victory—
of that noblest victory of all, the bloodless victory
won by the sheer strength of reason, employing alone
for its enforcement the keen, and trenchant, and
polished weapons culled from the armoury of
rhetoric. There are no three men, we believe,
whose good services to the common weal are more
universally or more cordially recognised. Since
the achievement in 1846 of that grand and final
triumph of the Free Trade principles, there has
been no possibility for any of them, even if they
had wished it, to hide their light under a bushel.
It is remembered too well to this day, even by
their principal antagonists, as a triumph won
in a very great measure indeed through their in-
strumentality ! Through their instrumentality, of
course, coming in aid of various rarely-gifted and dis-
tinguished fellow•labourers, champions of the same
cause, like WILLIAM Fox and CHARLES VILLIERS,
and EBENEZER ELLIOTT, the Corn•law Rhymer—
each and all of them in turn promulgating the
same truths, though in varied accents, through the
trumpet of the Press, or from the platform of the
League. Honour, say we, to those good citizens
and practical reformers ! May their fair fame
in this fair realm of England be held undimmed in
perpetual remembrance.

Cordially regarding thus, with unstinted appre-
ciation, the three recipients of the manly homage
proferred to them yesterday at Liverpool—to two
of them by name and to one of them in
person—we cannot, of ccurAc, be presumed
to regard with otherwise than complacency
the purport of the demonstration made yesterday
in their behalf by the Liverpool Financial Reform
Association. The aspirations, the principles, the
aim and object of that Association arc ours. Its
labours we not only sympathise in, but as journalists
participate in and emulate, so far as in us lies, to
the very utmost. What it is struggling for so
earnestly we have long, very long, been hoping
for—we have for years and years past,
in these columns of the Sun, been striving

zealously to aid in realising. In the main, there-
fore, so far as relates to the great principles of
political economy intended to be enforced by yes-
terday's demonstration, our opinions, and the
opinions of the Association, may be pro-
nounced to be—so far as the opinions of different
individuals possibly can be in respect to one com-
plex subject—absolutely identicalf. Nevertheless,
while we go heart and soul with those broad and
clear and rational views of political economy which
are always so forcibly expounded by men like Mr.
BRIGHT and Mr. COBDEN—as for example, in
many parts of that masterly argument delivered
last night by Mr. BRIGHT at Liverpool—we cannot
at the same time help grieving over those bewil-
dering errors both of temper and of judgment
by which the very interests Mr. BRIGHT and Mr.
COBDEN would fain, we believe, enforce by every
means in their power, are in reality militated
against so very deplorably.
It was only yesterday that we had to lament
(not by any means of course for the first
time) over that constitutional acerbity, or acri-
mony, or whatever else it may be through,
which another of the great living Tribunes
of the People has throughout his career in the
most tantalising manner imaginable "paid his
tribute," as the phrase is "to humanity !" But
for that infirmity of temperament, can any of us
doubt for one instant but that years back JOHN
ARTHUR ROEBUCK would have taken high rank
among our most sagacious administrators. Quite,
as effectually, though by very different methods
indeed have both Mr. BRIGHT and Mr.
COBDEN debarred themselves from kindred
opportunities of doing far more than yeonian's
service to the Crown and to their Country.
Mr. COBDEN, by the adoption of fantastic and
wholly impracticable projects—projects like that of
Arbitration pur et simple (very simple, indeed, we
may say in the purely idiomatic sense), what is
popularly known as the peace-at-any-price halluci-
nation ! Mr. BRIGHT by an ever irritated and an ever
irritating :pugnacity—a pugnacity that is certainly
effectual, if in nothing else, in riling, as the Americans
would say, every possible antagonist to the utmost
conceivable degree of moral and mental exacerba-
tion. If we wanted a testimony of each of these
infirmities that should be in a measure, so to speak,
the very epitome of an illustration, we have it here
promptly at hand in yesterday's proceedings down
at Liverpool.
The honourable member for Rochdale being con-
fined, as we griave to notice, to his sick chamber in
Paris, is constrained in lieu of going to write a letter
of apology for his non-appearance. An admirable
letter of apology in many respects, yet one that
nevertheless comprises, to our mind, within its
narrow limits, what we may term the essential oil
of the very quintessence of the old peace-at-any-
price hallucination. According to Mr. COBDEN the
complete triumph of Free Trade Principles is really
and truly all that is required to bring the whole of
this great globe of ours to—the Millenium ! The
supreme and matchless excellence of those prin-
ciples as among the grand root or guiding prin-
ciples of political economy among the nations of
the earth, we ourselves have long recognised. Yet
to talk of them as the puff advertisements talk of
Parr's Life Pills or of Holloway's Ointment, as cer-
tain to cure every ill that flesh is heir to—is really
and truly to talk—we won't say nonsense, but :we
will say, as—Mr. COBDEN writes in his letter to
the President of the Liverpool Financial' Reform
Association ! The cry with him, there, from his
sick room at Paris—sounds like an echo of the
prophetic injunction th beat the swords into
ploughshares, and the spears into reaping hooks!
But sound thnugh it may like that, it bears
the much simpler interpretation of—" Dilly
Dilly, come and be killed !" England, we may
rest assured, will in this not listen to the voice of
the charmer, charm he (to all appearance) never so
wisely. While, in respect to the less amiable weak-
ness of Mr. 13RIGIIT—it is only necessary to glance,
though but for one moment, at his elegant allusion
to the newspapers barking at his heels—and but for
another at that resounding and recalcitrant pero-
ration which is only to be typified by BRIAREUS—
with a cocked revolver in each of his hundred
hands—challengingevery one, after the fashion of a
last century's highwayman.

We have much pleasure in directing attention to
the report of a meeting, held in Dover the other
day, in honour of a very worthy gentleman, Mr. E.
T. WAY, the well-known Superintendant of the
South• Eastern Railway at that important station.
Mr. WAY has frequently received testimonials of
esteem and due appreciation of his gentlemanly
character from royal as well as lordly personages ;
but, if we mistake not, the distinguished mark
of respect so unanimously volunteered by his
fellow-townsmen will be rendered more dear
to him than any other, as evincing a very
kindly feeling and generous sympathy, which
reflects honour on those who gave, and him
who so gratefully appreciates, the goodwill of men
as worthy as himself. We, too, cordially wish Mr.
WAY all prosperity and well-merited success.

THE INVASION.

Invasion threatens—let it come!
We'll' meet it one and all ;
And sternly guard our dear loved home
From Russ or vaunting Gaul.
Or both combined—with many more
Who hate us—being free ;
But ere they touch our envied shore
They'll drink the deep-blue sea.
For Britain bears her Banner high
O'er steep and stormy wave--
With hearts resolved to do or die
For Freedom—or the Grave.
Then, men of England ! mind your helm,
And steer the ship aright ;
And nought on earth can overwhelm
Our TARS in all their might.
Our Soldiers, tooa gallant Band,
And ,Riflemen in store,
Will meet the foe with heart and hand,
But part with him, no more.
Then peace to ea—with fear of none I
Give no offence—nor take !
But woe to him who dares stop on
Old England's Quarter-Deck !
For there her might is truly sewn
With spirit—all our own,
Resolved to be, as we have be'en,
Transcendent for Renown

Then let Invaders come or stay :
To come—will be no joke;
For we shall smash them on their way,
Or board them in the smoke I
Then, men of England, mind your helm,
And steer the ship aright ;
And nought on Earth can overwhelm
Our TARS in all their might I
