Wo ourselves believe that for this purposo they havo for some time had agents inspecting tho stocks of tho leading manufacturers in this country . Whore , for oxnmplo , could better information havo boon obtained than from on examination of tho varied und extensive assortment of cutlery and oloctro-silver plate , which is to be found at Messrs . Mnppin Brothers' only London Establishment , King William-stroot , London-bridge ( Outlora to tho Emperor , &o . ) ; where almost overy u-tiolo in cutlery and elect rc-pluto may bo mob with , nt prices eo nodomlo that our Continental nei ghbours must indood have boon j stonishod . ¦

      members of Mr . G . W . Martin ' s National Choral Society , drawn ( to specify then- topographical venue ) from the IT ., N " . W ., nnd W . C . postal . districts of the metropolis , among whom . were some of the most cflicient co-operators in MjvMarfcin ' a grand performances of . prize glees and choral part-songs at Exeter-hall and the Crystal Palace The programme contained Mr . Martin ' s national par ^ song , "The Volunteers ' Choral March , singularly appropriate for the use of hi 3 ' = Volunteer Choral Society , lor the singing of part-songs while on the march . These national choral unions , which owe their conception and origin to Mr . Martin , bid fair to become , under his efficient directorship and eminently successful methods of organisation , the most important associations of the kind that hare ever been established . The other national part-songs of Mr . Martin ' s composition given by the choir were ^ . llie Army and Ifavj , " " Our Saxon Fathers , " "Defence , not Defiance ; " "The Rifle , " and in addition , » The Xutional Anthem , " as harmonised by Mr . Martin . The hall was literall y crammed ( though not to suffocation , as the ventilatory appliances are excellent ); a Teat portion of the audience consisted of Volunteers in full uniform ' and the applause elicited by these spirit-stirring , pieces not to speak it profanely , bore the strongest resemblance to thunder which the human voice could perhaps be made to assume . Mr . Martin and Mr . Olhvier , the manager of the concert , appeared in uniform as Volunteers .

      WE see that the company which has been formed for the earrjinoout of this enterprise , is prosecuting it in a vigorous and successful manner . They have completed arrangements with Sir Greville bmyth , a landowner possessed of extensive and valuable estates on the Somersetshire side of the river , and who , in consequence of the advantages accruing to his property from the erection of the bridge , has agreed , to take £ 2 500 worth of shares , and to make a gratuitous contribution of the like sum to the funds of the oompanv . Thus aft or allowing for the purchase of the chains of the Huniyeriord -bridge and the expense of piers , no less a proportion of the £ 35 , 000 capital than six-sevenths , or £ 30 , 000 may be considered as virtually realised The bridge , when finished , will be 30 feet in width , and GOi ) feet in length and its completion may be looked forward to at no very distant period The progress of the matter through Parliament has , we understand , been smoothed , and the way paved for the sanction of the Legislature - indeed , no feasible opposition to so excellent a project , and one so calculated to promote public convenience , and to the already abundant attractions of Clifton , could well bo antici pated . The facilities und accommodation it will afford to the neighbourhood , are manifest . Its indirect as well as its direct advantages as a medium of " thoroughfare and communication" between the counties of Somerset and Gloucester can hardly be too highl y estimated . The unrivalled beauty of the ' neighbouring scenery—we allude to Leigh-woods and Nightengale V alley m particular—is well known ; and to this favoured spot the bridge will aflbi-d a direct cut . Thus a variety of " interests " will be benefited by the bridge in more wnys than o * ne . We observe many good names in the provisional committee . The offices of the company are 53 , Parliament-street , London ; and Captain C . Claxton , R . N is the secretary .

      A JNOBLER more affecting spectacle it is impossiblo for the imagination to conceive than a people uniting for the relief of Jiuman misery , and banded together for the production of human good ; soothing tho sufferings and tin ? sorrows of those whose anguish tor tho cruel bereavement of relations tho most dear to them is oiihonced by the uttor ruin of their fortunes and thoir hopes . Tho expression which Burke applied to India , " It was a nntion stretching out ; its hand for food , " is applicable to tho sufferers from tho Syrian disturbances nnd massacres . Some idea of ilio widespread misery produced by these harrowing ovents , muy be formed from tho following statement of facts : — "Tho following stntoment iijdientos the extent and vnriefy of tho sufferings for tho relief of which tho eommittco address this appeal to British Immunity . Ono hundrod nnd fifty towns and villages hnvo been pillugod and burnt ; with tho churched , pulriurehutes , monasteries , schools , the orops , silk factories , &o . ; also thowholo of tho Christian Jiousi's in Damascus destroyed ( a city itself ) , including tho European , consulates . Sixteen thousand Christians havo boon killod , including ] tho men , women , nnd ohildren , murdered in cold blood . Among those who wore thus nasuasinntod , } were Mr . Graham and othor missionaries . ; Seventy thousand toeighty thousand persons , including twonty thousand i widows and orphans , loft homeless and starring . Upwards of 20 000 i refugees « ro daily receiving relief at Boyrout alone . ' ,

There never was a case ( not excepting that which arose out of the Indian mutiny ) which appealed so strongly to the benevolence of the British public . In the presence of a corrupted Mohammedanism , and of a blood- feud , which lias existed for ages , exacting life for life , without discrimination ; in the absence of enlightened education and free institutions , the British people have now an opportunity of influencing the mind of a nation by an example far more impressive than preaching or teaching of the transcendentl y benign tendency of Christianity , which will thus be seen to compel its disciples , as by an irresistible moral law "to attend to the neglected , and to remember the forgotten . Great events are evidently looming in the future of Syria it will bo to tho honour of every civilized nation to have borne a part in preparing this long misgoverned country for the benefit of a better regime .
