Mr. PIERREPONT said :—“‘Of the eminent members of the New York Bar who have died within the memory of the living | tomk ne one has been foliowed wo the grave by @ larger concourse of | sincere mourners than was our iriend, the late James W.

(Laughter.) Now, what has happened ty rouse him from ois insensibiuty ? BOWLS AND RUBBERS, An article has been pubitsned in Fraser's Maga- | against tue government and greatly evlightening to-day. Ifind itis written by a gentleman of the name of Bowles, and | am greatly wistaken if Mr. Disraeli does not tind of au occasion that those | Who piay at bowls Must expect to meets with rub- | bers, (Great laughter.) Now, let me give youa | short statement Oi the case. Mr. Disraeli says we | | have had @ treaty securing the ireedom of the | Straits of Malacca for our trade to China and | Japan. We had no such treaty. We had a treaty | with Holland, which gave to Engiand an exclusive | Jurisdiction on the Malay Couunent and which | gave to Holland a similarly exciusive title to Irame | Weaties aud make ber own arrangements ; in the island of Sumatra, which iorms the other side of the Stratis of Malacca, and | im the neighboring isiands, But that gave no se- | curity whatever jor the free navigation of the Straits 01 Malacca, The treaty was dated 1834, and Lam now going to discuss it. If there is danger in | @ Strait of stoppiog navigation you wiil agree with me that the danger occurs where the strait is | Darrowest. The s:rait 1s narrowest at that part of Sumatra which 18 occupied by the Kingdom of ; Siak. ‘the Dutch made @ treaty nine years ago, | by which they acquired almost the sovereignty ani ) the virtual supremacy in the Kingdom of Siak, Well, there was @ ume of danger, if any—but wnen | Was that treaty made? 1t was made in 1858, when Mr. Disraeli was in office. (Ubeers and laughter.) It was forwarded by the Dutcn Minister w Lord | September, 1858, and on the 23d Lord Malmesbury | acknowledged its receipt and revurned lia thanks for the treaty, (Laughter and cheers.) | Well, so much tor Siak. But 1 must detain | you a little longer. One of the existing ar- rangements was tuat where tue Dutch made these treaties they made their treaues of exclusive | trade, and they shut out British trade irom tne countries with which they made treaties, That Was ayreat evil, We Rad really no power of pre- venting them making treaties. We Claimed wuat We sometimes calied a right of grumoling, but we never did anything to give effect to 11, and we had | mo power to give effect to it, The British govern- ment thought that 1t was a very evil thing lor Brite ish trade to be excluded irom those countries, and consequently tuey made a treaty with Holiapd, uuder wiich they cousepted to give up their right Of grumoling, Which they never tor thiriy years bad done anything to entorce, and Holland, on the other hand, stipulated to give, Within ali the coun- uries and in those jatitudes wiere she made these treaties, to British subjects and navigation the | seme privileges that she gave to Dutch sub- jev.s and navigation. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, | 1 say that was not a bad treaty, but a good treaty, (Laughver.) But who made it? | That treaty was draited and was proposed to Hol- land in the year 1808, when Mr, Disraeh was Prime Minister and Lord Derby Foreign Secretary, and that i8 @ most extraoidinary state of things, when | the leader of a party is so destitute of topics— though he has, must say, ingenious a brain out of which to spin them any man who ever | oceupied tat or any other position, (Laughter.) But such is his porn and destitution o: points to | make against the government, although be travels | all the way to the Straits ot Malacca for the pur- | pose, that he manutactures his charge out of an act which is not @ bad act but a good uct, and an act which was not done by them but done by the colieagues of Mr. Disraeliand by the government to which he belonged. Understand me, gentie- men, When I say it was done! mean this, The draft of the treaty concluded by us was forwarded by Lora Derby in tae month of September or He deserved the main credit for it, aod credit, not discredit, is What is due, (Hear, FLOUNDERING.
