L.AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
1.4 EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffJca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 131 d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

CANDLES.-If you do not want your candles
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE," or their "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT
WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA "
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paraffine, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffin Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed'bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
" Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.

most comforting in allaying irritation, and giving strength

per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-

appears in this arrangement of through-bolts and
massive timber bulkheads on board the Thunderer
an almost unnecessary expenditure of time, labour,
and material, There are 12 holes to be drilled
through each plate, and 12 bolts with nuts provided.
The backing of the proof-room bulkhead has to be
next replanked and made sound, and then follows
the labour of boring the backing and bolting on the
plate, and, after the tiring, taking it down again
and removing it to the dockyard for inspection.
The plan pursued at Shoebury is much more simple,
and less expensive and tedious. The holes only are
bored through the plate, and by these it is suspended
to a circular iron bar, and fired at in that position
without any backing. By this means the effect of
every shot can be seen on the back as well as on the
front of the plate, and consequently a far more re-
liable estimate may be formed of the plate's quality
than can be obtained by the present system.
The Blanche, screw sloop (unarwoured wooden),
6 guns, 1,286 tons, 350-horse power, Capt. J. E.
Montgomerie, which obtained 13.6 knots as a mean
speed on her recent trial over the measured mile in
Stokes Bay, has sailed from Spithead for the coast
of Australia.

On Tuesday the troops at Aldershot, under the
command of Lieut.-Gen. the lion. Sir James Yorke
Scarlett, K.C.8., were exercised in field manoeuvres.
At half-past 10 o'clock the six battalions of infantry
formed up in line of contiguous columns ou the
Queen's-parade, North Camp. Shortly after the
formation was complete, the Lieut.-General com-
manding, attended by his Staff, arrived upon the
ground, and was received with the usual salute ;
after which the troops marched past in grand divi-
sions in quick time, and in the following order :
Pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of the 3 1 In-
fantry Brigade ; Staff and Major-General Sir A.
Horsford, K.C.B. ; Major Madden and 51st (King's
Own) Light Infantry ; Col. Peyton and 98th Regi-
ment; Major Deacon and 54th (West Norfolk)
Regiment. Pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of
the 2d Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. Carey, C. 8.;
Major the Hon. Le Poer Trench and 40th (the 2d
Somersetshire) Regiment; Lieut.-Colonel Harrison
and 86th (Staffordshire) Volunteers; Lieut.-Col.
Synge and 43d (Monmouthshire) Light Infantry.
After passing the saluting base the regiments broke
into column of companies from grand divisions at
the double counter march, and went past en masse
of columns from the reverse flank, and left in front.
Having gained their original ground, they counter-
marched by ranks, and marched past by brigades in
contiguous columns. Several field movements fol-
lowed, which were performed with celerity and
precision. The weather was delightfully fine,
and the ground in excellent condition for the ma-
nceuvres.

The iron armour - plated hydraulic gunboat
Waterwitch, Commander N. Philip Sharpe, having
discharged her ammunition, was removed on Wed-
nesday from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze to
undergo some alterations and have defects made
good.

The screw steam sloop Royalist, 11, having been
supplied with a new mainyard at Plymouth, left the
Sound on Tuesday for the North American and
West India station.

A circular memorandum has been received by
Col. Suther, C. 8., commanding the Royal Marine
division at Woolwich, announcing that the standard
has been raised to Mt. Thin., and that no further
recruits are to be received at any of the head-
quarters of the corps until further Admiralty orders
are issued. It has been likewise announced that
the whole of the recruiting parties in provincial
stations throughout the kingdom are to return to
their various head• quarters on the Ist of March.
The recruiting stations at London and Edinburgh
are still to be retained. Capt. John D. Broughton
and Captain T. Magin have been permitted to ex-
change, the former to go to Gloucester to receive
boys for service in the Royal Navy.
At Aldershot advantage is being taken of the fine
weather to exercise the artillery and cavalry in the
drill and movements peculiar to those branches of
the service. On Tuesday C, D, and E batteries of
the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Capts.
Franks, Timbrell, and Hill respectively, together
with the field batteries (C of the 4th and C of the
9th brigade) formed upon on Eelmoor-hill in line,
and in complete marchingorder, and were inspected
by Col. Smyth, C. 8., commanding the artillery
division at Aldershot. Subsequently Col. Light, in
command of the Royal Horse Artillery, and Col.
Elgee, of the field batteries, put their respective
commands through various artillery movements,
ending by marching past at the gallop and
the trot. On the same day the cavalry brigade,
consisting of the Ist Dragoon Guards, under
Col. Pattie, C. 8., and the 4th Dragoon Guards,
under Colonel Shute, formed up is the Long Val-
ley in quarter-distance columns of squadrons, and
were exercised in various movements by Brigadier-
General White, CB. They afterwards marched
past by squadrons at open distance at a walk, trotted
past by sections, and galloped past by squadrons
from the reverse flank by wings. Yesterday C and
E batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, under
Colonel Light, were practised in gun drill. The
whole area of the Camp and the review grounds is
now much drier than usual at this season ; but the
smallness of the force at present stationed at Alder-
shott precludes the possibility of anything like a
grand military display.
Deputy inspector-General of Hospitals H. H.
Massey, M.D., has arrived at Colchester in order
to make au official inspection of the hospitals in the
eastern district. Passed medical candidates 11. 11.
Macnamara, M.D., and M. M. Gallwey have arrived
at Colchester for duty as staff-assistant-surgeons.
Detachments of the 4th Depot Battalion at Waltham
Abbey and Enfield-lock are expected to return to
Colchester in a few days. The detachment of the
96th Regiment at Great Yarmouth has been relieved
by a party of similar strength from the Bth Depot
Battalion.

Mr. Bright, M.P., presided at St. Jas Ha PIN
cadilly, on Wednesday evening, when the Rev. Newman
" " delivered his lecture on " Britain to America." The Goodwill of Great
Introducing the lecturer, he ex-
plained that by presiding he took the place of the Duke of
Argyll, whose " just and generous view of American
affairs during the last few years of trouble " he highly
extolled ; and he assented to take the place first on
account of the deep interest which he took in the subject
of the lecture, and secondly because of his respect and
admiration for the lecturer. Then, dealing with the
subject of the evening, he said : There is nothing with
regard to the dispute between the two countries
which has done so great mischief as the igno-
rance which has prevailed among vs. It is not that
we are much more ignorant than any other people ; the
Americans to a large extent are not very well acquainted
with us ; and I scarcely ever read anything that a
Frenchman has written about England that does not ap-
pear to be ludicrous from its non-acquaintance with the
habits and customs and feelings of our people. But
although there are cases in which ignorance is simply
ignorance ; there are other cases in which it is prodigious
mischief and possible danger. Now it is just seven years
ago since we were all startled by the commencement of
the great events which have been of 1 to occurring in the
United States ; State after State wa recting the banner
of rebellion and seceding from the great repnb tic. If we
look back to that time we shall see what a misfortune it
was to us that our people and some of those who ought to
have been best instructed were so ignorant of everything
connected with the United States. lam not quite sure
that the greatest ignorance was not found to prevail most
extensively among those who considered themselves as the
instructed classes—(hear)—for we know perfectly well,
without mentioning names, that men in the very highest
positions in the political parties in this country exhibited
an unacquaintance with American affairs which we now
know to have been very remarkable, and to have been
followed by very evil consequences. I believe really that
it may be said without exaggeration that they knew
nothing about America ; that which they thought they
knew for the most part was altogether wrong, and they
were in a rather worse position than if they had absolutely
known nothing at all. Some of them could tell you every-
thing, I believe, to the minutest detail of the Homeric
age ; they could tell you nearly all the legends of the
ancient world, but with regard to the great English
nation on the other side of the Atlantic they know
nothing which aided them in their course, whether in
Parliament or in the Government. If I were to turn
for a moment to another class of persons who ought to be
well informed , because they not only are held tobe, but often
avow themselves to be great public instructors, I should not
find much more knowledge among them. I saw not long
ago in the house of a gentleman in this city a whole shelf
of volumes, I am not sure how many, but I think at least
a dozen, composed of leading articles, of letters from corre-
spondents, and of paragraphs, of what was then supposed
to be important information in every shape, cut out from
a powerful newspaper in this country, and pasted upon
blank leaves.'But these twelve volumes which had been got
together during four or five years had been from morning
to morning published in this city, and offered to all the
people to be read, but teneered more especially to the rich
and the powerful, as the gathered knowledge of the con-
ductors of that journal with regard to one of the most
stupendous events which the history of the world affords
any narrative of. So whether we speak of the mem-
bers of the Government, or of a large portion of the
members of Parliament, or I believe of a majority of
those who profess to instruct the public through the
press in this city, we know now that seven years ago
they were as ignorant as children, and if you had had a
score of crossing-sweepers they could not possibly have
made greater errors than were made by those who ought to
have been the leaders of public opinion in this country.
(Cheers.) But the rich and the powerful classes were not
only ignorant ; they had this great misfortune—their in-
stincts on this question were altogether wrong, and there-
fore, when they saw beyond the Atlantic the greatest
struggle of modern times going on, in which the case
was more decided and pronounced and clear than in any
other struggle to which you can point in history, this
rich and powerful class gave their voice and their sym-
pathy, I will say without exaggeration, for the very worst
cause for which brave men at least ever took up arms.
(Cheers.) But if we come to the great body of the
people, we find a different state of things among them.
I don't assert for a moment that what we call the mass
of the people, and I refer more particularly to the
labouring and artisan population in the counties of Lan-
caster and York, were more instructed with regard to the
geography of the United States, how its great rivers run,
where its great cities were, or what was its population and
its revenue, but they were saved from that other misfor-
tune, for their instincts were altogether right— (cheers)---
though abundant efforts were made in the North of Eng.
land to lead-the-people to espouse the cause of the South,
and to proclaim their wish that the Union should be dis-
solved. But if we had the sad spectacle on the one hand
that the rich were supporting a rebellion the main object
of which was the continued oppression of a whole race, we
had on the other hand the grand and magnificent spectacle
that the great body of the people were, as they always wish
to be, the supporters of justice and freedom. It was in the
month of December 1861 that the excitement arose in con-
nection with the seizure of certain envoys from a certain
steamer by an American ship of war, and I remember at
that time speaking my sentiments to a meeting in the
town in which I live. I shall refer only to one expression
I used upon that occasion. I advised the Government,
the Parliament, and the people of England to treat the
American nation during their great and calamitous struggle
with a generous and friendly neutrality. I did not for a
moment suppose that anybody could urge that it was our
business as a nation to take up arms or to interfere directly
in that great struggle, but I thought we had the power by
a generous and friendly neutrality at any rate to express
our sympathy with whatever is good in the United
States. But the Government of the day, probably in.
fluenced by the unfortunate atmosphere with which it was
surrounded, treated the whole question with what I will
call a cold and an ungenerous neutrality—(hear)--and the
result of that I need not enter into ; it is written in a pile
of blue-books ; it is felt now in the office of almost every
merchant; it touches now the feelings and sometimes
excites the alarm of almost all thoughtful men, and I
believe, also, of thoughtful women in this kingdom. Now,
if the Government of that time bad taken that very
simple advice which I tendered them, what would have
been the result? The two nations would have been knit
together in bonds which no Minister, and no Cabinet, and
no press could by any means have burst asunder. I know
this from the excessive kindness with which I have been
treated by Americans in this country and in their own.
Others of those around me may say the same for them-
selves ; but if all the people of England, including all the
rich class, the powerful conductors of the press, and your
Cabinet Ministers, had held the same generous language
towards the people of the United States, we should have
been as one together as if there was not a drop of ocean
between us, and I might have defied any man or any body
of men, or any Government, or any nation, or any acci-,
dent, or any cause, to have separated these two great
nations in times to come. They would have been ..ene
nation in sympathy, and they would have been a
great guarantee for freedom and civilisation in the world.
(Cheers.) At the present, instead of that, we are separated
by many suspicions and by much dislike, and I am afraid
in the address to which we are about to listen we shall
hear that there is in the United States among many a very
bitter feeling when memory turns back to the events of
gasmbert7wteeonne
Englandof those who
believe seven ears
et
that the state Now,of
and
America is without remedy, or that it is highly alarm-
ing. I don't believe that the negotiations on questions
y
which are now pending between the two countries are
absolutely close 1, and I have the most complete faith
that there are good men enough in numbers in the
United States and in England to bring about before long
a just and a complete settlement of all the important
questions which are now unsettled between the two
nations. However, we must admit one thing. I admit
it, not with
.surprise, but, I confess it, with great sorrow,
that the ignorance which prevailed seven years ago has
been of enormous injury to both nations, and probably
throughout the whole of this generation there will
be felt in the United States the kind of feeling which we
have as individuals when we had received an injury from
one from whom we had a right to expect good ; and that
is a feeling far worse, which goes far deeper, and is far
less accessible to remedy than if we received similar injury
from a person whom we had deemed heretofore hostile to
us. It is impossible for an Englishman to know how
much the Americans value the opinion of this country.

(Hear, hear.) We cannot trace our ancestors back to
those parts of the Continent from which many hundreds
of years ago they came. We are here where we were
born, and where our families have lived for generations ;
we have no special sympathies with distant countries as
the Americans with us. When they come over here
you may find the,..! in all parts of the kingdom almost,
searching palish registers and churchyards, and looking
up old books endeavouring to find out where their great-
grandfathers came from ; and it is to them an intense
stAisfaction when they can trace their families to some
spot to them henceforth a favoured spot in this islaritl,
Then remember their case during perhaps four of the last
seven years. Many thought them on the ground with the
garotter at their throats ; they were struggling for very
life, for all that every citizen of that republic holds to bo
dear in public affairs, and they felt that we did not treat
them with that friendly and generous neutrality whiclt
they had a right to expect from us, a nation from which
'their fathers went forth. (Mr. Bright concluded by intro.
during the lecturer in coinplimentary terms.)
