In these words, thanking yew lordship for the kind manner in which you have proposed our health,, I have now to ask indulgence while I propose to this company to drink the health of the Lord Meyer. His lordship has undertaken a most arduous duty ; he See succeeded to a mayoralty which has comprised a period si great prosperity, and he will have, therefore, a mess MS cult task to perform ; but, knowing his ability and Ide notion to what he thinks right, I have no doubt that he will, at the end of the year, leave the chair with increased reputation and be rewarded with the approbation and the gratitude of his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, assured his fellow-citizens that he would endeavour in all things to perform the duties of his office to their satisfaction. " The House of Lords, coupled with the Health of the Marquis of Salisbury," was next drunk; which was replied to by the noble Marquis. the LORD MAYOR then proposed "Her Majesty's Judges, coupling with the toast the Health of the Chief Baron." ARCTIC EXPEDITION. PROPOSED SEMICII FOR SIR J. FRANKLIN. Last evening the members of the Royal Geogra phical Society held their first ordinary meeting at the offices of the inatitution, Waterloo-place—Sir Itooetitez Mug, entsoN, president, in the ehair. Amongst the gentlemen present were Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Ambassador, with several distiniped Germans ; Count Wielhorsky, of the Russian Em , ys; W. IL Hamilton, former presi dent of the so iety; Captain Fitzroy, R.N. ; Captain H. Kellett, R.N.; R. Brown, Esq., President of the I.inntean Society; Admiral Sir F. Beaufort; Captain Penny, R.N.; Colonel Lloyd ; Colonel Neil Campbell; Captain Scould; and several Egyptian gentlemen, &c. The CHAIRMAN expre•sed his gratification at seeing so crowded an attendance at the opening meeting of the season, and went on to observe that in his opinion the go vernment ought to provide a better place of meeting for the Royal Geographical Society. This he hoped would be done before long, as the accommodation at present afforded them was not sufficient for the important purposes of their institution. The honourable gentleman read letters from the Grand Duke Constantine and the Crown Prince of Smeden, who had been elected members of the society, and in alluding to the important subject about to be laid before the meeting by Lieutenant Pim, nit read a letter which he bad addressed to the Grand Duke Constsntine.

Lord Chief Baron POLLOCK, in returning thanks, ex pressed, on the part of himself and his brother judges, his gratitude for the compliment which hail been conferred on them, and assured the company that the highest reward they looked fur was the approbation of their fellow-country men. (Hear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR had now the pleasure to give "the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the House of Commons." The toast having been honoured, The CHANCELLOR ut the EXCHEQUER begged to return thanks on the part of the House of Commons. It was true, as his lordship had said. the members of the House of Commens were the representatives of their several constituencies and were bound to attend to their interests, but were responsible also to the country at large. Amongst those interests none were more important than those concentrated in this mighty metropolis, and no body of the people were better able to appreciate and judge of the conduct of their representatives than those he was now addressing. He was glad to find they had merited their approliathm, which was a sufficient consolation and reward for all their labour+. (Cheers.) Ile concluded by pro posing the health of the Lady Mayoress. The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the compli ment, after which the ladies retired. "The Shet itfi of London and Middlesex," "The Attor ney. and Solicitor Generals and bar of England," " Tke Aldermen of the City of London," and "The Recorder," were the remaining toasts, which being given, the whole of the company adjourned to the withdrawing rooms. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Lieut. Pint then read a paper, which he had prepared upon the subject alluded to, and said—He would commence by stating the circumstances which led him to the belief that the imprisoned chips were to be found, not on the coastof America, but on that of Asia. While on board her Majesty's ships Herald and Plover exploring the Arctic regions, the tate of Sir John Franklin was daily the sub ject of consideration, and he was struck by the fact that the plans of relief adopted were based on the supposition that the Erebus and Terror had failed in the very commence meat of their voyage. Ile was convinced that Sir John Franklin would not he found on the threshold of the North West passage, and consequently applied himself to the con sideration of where he would have to be looks(' for. Wren ge.'s narrative having been perused attentively, the fact that Wrangel as well as Anjou found an open sea in several places during the cold season, in com paratively high latitude, impressed itself upon his mind. The course et the exothurmal lines also, as deduced from various observations by modern philosophers, and the opinion of Colonel Sabine, us well as other men of science, of the existence of open water around the Pole, afforded a clue to the probable course of Sir John Franklin—since strengthened by Captain Penny's discoveries northward of Wellington Channel of a sea free front ice. It was eratify ing to state that Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort's opinion was to the same effect, as expressed in a letter lately re ceived front him. Taking all the circumstances into con sideration, it appeared to him (Lieut. Pint) that Sir John Franklin, having passed through Wellington Channel, attained the Polymia, and would then steer to the west ward, and when reaching the meridian of Behring's Strait, re-enter the ice in order to penetrate to the Pacific Ocean, Difficulties would however again impede his progress Enalieyed in the frozen masses which hail checked the ad vance of every navigator (ruin the earliest to the present time, he would he at the mercy of the winds and currents, rendering it problematical to which coast he would be driven—whether to that of the new or old world. The extreme hardihood and courier of a Richardson, a Kellett, a Pullen, and a Rae had afforded negative evidence that the want of Northern America was not the country where the final settlement of the question, "What has become of Sir Junn Franklin ?" mast be determined. The next place, therefore, to which attention turned was Siberia. Wrangel's narrative, knowing that pieces of wrecks had been found on the Asiatic shores, and historical accounts stating that various Russian espeditions encountered the greatest difficulties in penetrating even a short distance easterly, proved that the very cause which moveked that effect upon the Russian vessels, would bring about an oppo site result upon any ships which might happen to be about the meridian of Behriug't Struits, and consequently that a well-organised search of the Asiatic shores would afford results highly satisfactory. Her Majesty's ship Herald, after au absence of six years, having returned to England, after three times visiting 11ehring'e Straits, without more suce: se titan the squadruns on the eastern side of America, and the fate of Sir John Franklin being still wrapped in mystery, he considered it his duty to make known the above conviction, and tosuomit to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty a plan for obtaining traces of the missing expedition. His proposal was to start on the faith of this month, and travel by way of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tultolsk, Irkut z, and Takoutz,tu the mouth of the Kilytna, and theme commence exploring the coast of Siberia, east and west, fur distance of 10,000 miles. Ile did not ask for a party, but merely a companion and a servant ; and he stated that the expense attending the journey would be trifling iu coin pnrison with the result which it appeared to him to pro mise. To his great disappointment the Admiralty, though thanking him fur his suggestion, declined to undertake the execution of the plan. Lady Franklin, however, impressed with the hope of obtaining some satisfactory intelligeuee, requested him to carry out his proposal by private means. Unlimited leave of absence being nastily granted for the , purpose by the Admiralty, he had no hesitation in respond- ing to her disire. The funds which Lady Frankliii was able to devote to this expedition amounted to no more than 6001., a sum obviously inadequate to ouch an under taking. It was therefore determined to use that money for fitting out the cepedition, and to appeal to his Im perial litajesty of Russia to assist in effecting this object, Lady Franklin considering that even should the appeal be unsuccessful, the funds would have been ap propriately expended in so legitimate urn attempt to rescue the gallant men who accompanied him. The expedition being thus fairly determined upon, it became most import ant to hasten its execution. An interview with the head of the Foreign-of f ice was obtained, and he could not speak too gratefully of the kindness of Lord Palmerston on that occasion, as well as Mr. Addington's promptness in forward ing necessary documents. The president of the Royal Geo graphical Society, at once perceiving the stature of his plan, fully entered into his views; add he might be allowed to add that the patronage of the head of ouch a society was alone sufficient to inspire him with confidence ; while, on the other hand, Sir Roderick Murchison's extensive know ledge of Russia, and the many introductions he had given Hint to the mist influential men and societies at St. Peters burg, afforded him the most sanguine hope of success. Accordingly it was his intention to proceed to St. Petersburg oa the 18th instant, to present letters and to enlist the sym pathy of the Ituseian government in the cause. His origami plan had however undergone some modification. Mr. Berthold Leemann, lute aaturatist of her Majesty's ship !Jerald, whose enterprise and talent as a traveller required no com ment, was ready to accompany him on his journey, but having engaged himself to produce several works connected with the voyage of the Herold he was unable to assist in executing a plan which bad often formed the topic of ear nest consideration. He was now compelled to proceed alone, and he looked forward to companions provided by the Imperial service of Russia. Supposing that tles negotiations with the court of Russia terminate favourably, his track would lead from St. Peters burg to Moscow by railway, from Moscow to Ideas by sledges, • distance of 3.544 miles ; and from Irkuti to Takouts also on sledges, a distance of 1,821 miles, the whole journey occupying about four months. At Ta kouts all cektulur travelling conveniences terminate, and the 1,200 miles to the river Kolyma, as well as the 2,000 mike of search, would have to be performed in a manner best adapted to the resources of the country. In 1854 the task might be completed, if unfortu nately before that time no traces should have been found. la the internal he should lose no opportunity of apprising the Royal Geographical Society sf his proceedings, and he now begged that the members would furnish him with ad vice or information respecting a country so little known. Ile And thus briefly stated • plan which had occupied his most serious attention, and although reluctant to intrude any personal notice, he must remark that if his hopes of success should seem too sanguine, the fact of his undertaking with out any pay from government, or personal remuneration from Lady Franklin, the execution of the project was suf ficient to show that he wan nut merely a theorist, but a man ready to carry his plans into practical operation. la con clusion the hon. gentleman tendered his acknowledgments to Sir Roderick Murchison, the patron of the undertaking, to Lord Palmerston, Lord Shaftesbury, Sir Francis Beau ' fort, Mr. Robert Brown, Mr. Tonna, and Mr. Barrow, without whose aid he could not have hoped to obtain his end. (Applause.) TIIE BANQUET. Last evening the usual inauguration banquet was given in Guildhall, in which covers were laid for about 1,200 guests. The band of the Life Guards was in attendance, and played various pieces during the evening; and there was a vocal company, by whom some appropriate concerted musi cal pieces were sung.

The toast was drank with the honours, and was followed W the mitiossal anthein. The LORD MATOII, next gave the healths of their Royal Highnesses the Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wale., and the re.t of the royal family. With regard to Prince Albert, he observed that his royal highness deserved the fasting gratitude of tho country for the deep and ac tive interest he took is its welfare, mad especially for the part he had taken iu reference to tho Great Exhibition, from which he (the Lord Mayor) anticipated the greatest sad must lasting benefits, not to England only, but to the whole of the civiliactl world. (Ikar,l'icar.) The next toast was "The Navy and Army," in proposing which his lordship said he could not, as a citizen but feel • deep maim of obligation to those who, in period; of peril and difficulty, had defended the interests and upheld the honour cat the country. Admiral AltT returned thanks for the handsome eastplinient which had hien paid to the service to which he bad the honour to belong. Since the period of the _Spanish Armada, he believed our fleet had never hien tii u more efficient state than at this moment, or more devotel to their cuetitry's cause, and they might depend spas it that in the hour of peril the honour and the deur.

The next toast was " Prosperity to the City of London ; Its trade and commerce," which having been duly honoured, The LORI) MAYOR observed that the next toast on the id imposed upon him a very pleasing duty; it was to pro- pose to them the health of the gentleman who had just ' filled the office upon which he was now entering. lle had great pleasure in giving them a. a toast " The health of Sir J.

Hu might rely on every assistance in his most generous and noble enterprise. The CHAIRMAN said the council of the society had that day come to a resolution, authorising him to wait on the Lords of the Admiralty, and solicit their assistance to Lieutenant rim's project. A gentleman proposed that a subscription should be raised amongst the menab. ra of the society, but the chairman sug gested that it would be better first to ascertain whether the Admiralty would grant them any assistance.

It will be seen from the following notice that the royal commissioners have resolved to give up possession of the building to the contractors on the lit of nest month. As fir as they are officially concerned, then, their power with respect to the preservation of the Crystal l'alace will entirely cease at the end of this month, anal any further steps, if such should be deemed necessary, fords permanent existence, must be taken on the part of the government.

[FROM OUR OWN REPORTEItB.] Birmingham was yesterday the scene of' what was generally admitted to be the most important and general popular demonstration that had been witnessed there since the memorable year 1832, when the meetings of the work ing classes of that great manufacturing town had so bene ficial an influence on the progress of the Reform Bill. But although Birmingham itself was the great scene of excite ment, the progress of M. Kossuth and his friends might be deemed a triumph almost from the moment of their departure from London. Owing to niisinformation as to the time of departure, which had appeared in the weekly papers, there were comparatively few persons assembled in Euston.square, where M. Kossuth and party arrived at 9 o'clock; but from those present the illustrious exile I, received a most warm and enthusiastic reception. Mr. Stuart, secretary, Captain Huish, manager, and the traffic superintendent, received the visitors. The directors hail attached the carriage originally built for the Queen Dowager to the 94 express train, and in it M. Kossuth took his place, accompanied by M. Pulski Mr. Toulmin Smith, and nitpick, late prefect of the dung:lrian police. By the time the train had arrived at Wolverton it would appear that the electric telegraph had done its work, for the station and all the adjoining embankments were crowded with spectators. So great was the crowd on the platform that it was with the greatest difficulty the railway police could obtain a passage for M. Kossuth. Ile was tremendously cheered on his way to the refreshment roam, where lie remained for a few minutes, and on his return to his carriage the crowd actually , clung to the doors, anxious to catch a parting glimpse of the distinguished stranger. ! At Coventry the excitement was still snore intense, as at that place there must have been several thousand persons congregated about the station. The Hungarian colours might be seen in every direction—in cockades, in bonnets, and on the costumes of the ladies. Several ladies rushed together to tho carriage doors, and presented bouquets, which, we need hardly add, were must gracefully and gratefully received. M. Kossuth bowed his acknowledg ments repeatedly, and as the train glided away from the station remised two or three distinct rounds of I tore to the residence of Mr. Leach, that gentleman briefly addn•ased the crowd, stating that M. Kossuth felt deeply grateful for the reception he had experienced, RO far beyond anything he could have anticipated, and only regretted that the state of his chest, and the engagements he was under to address public meetings to-morrow and the day following, prevented his thanking them us he could wish himself. Mr. Geach concluded his obiervations by express ing a hope that he might, in the name of the a•eembled thousands, give to Kossuth a true and hearty welcome to Birmingham. It is needless to add that the welcome was echoed most vociferously by the crowd, and as tho word parsed back wards to the more distant masses of the people, it was sent back again and again in vollics of cheering which conti nued as long as the cavalcade remained iu sight, most of the carriages following Kossuth'a carriage up to The Dales, Mr. Gesell s residence. Vast numbers of the people broke up into parties, and followed the line of carriages to Mr. Geach's entrai.cc ledge. There, as soon as M. Kossuth had entered the house, the mounted body-guard formed in a semi-circle round the en trance gate. Mr. G. Dawson appeared and stated that ho was commissioned by M. Kossuth to return his most heart felt thanks to the people, for the manner in which they had received him. This meninz a select party is invited to meet M. Kassuth at dinner at Mr. (leach's, and tomorrow morniug he pro ceeds to Manchester. . . . At the luncheon at the Queen's lintel, Messrs. Mentz, Selioletiold, M.P., Thiamin Smith, Alderman Weston, George Dawson, Blythe, T. Jaffrey, Robert Wright, T. C. Salt, R. K. Douglas, and Hyland, were invited. The party assembled on the invitation of Mr. Ueach, M.P. THE FORTHCOMING DEMONSTRATION AT THE iiNNUVER-SQUAILE Itoests.—The committee charged with the arrangement of this demonstration met last evening at the Hanover-rapiare Rooms; and it being clearly under stood by Kossuth that he was expected at the Hanover square Rooms at one o'clock on lbursday, it was decided that the members of the committee should meet at half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and that ladies and the memhas of the deputa tions should be admitted before the hour lived fur the meeting, viz., 12 o'clock.—Mr. J. A. Nicholay, moved that all the daily press be invited, with Om exception of the Ttnics.—The resolution was unanimously carried. Ad dresses will be delivered in the following order :—West ' minster, Southwark, blarylebone, Lambeth, Finsbury. the Ladies'. After arranging other minor details the com mittee adjourned. cheering. Alt these demonstrations were, however, eclipsed by the triumph that awaited the exile in Birrningliatn, the capital of the "small masters;' with whose honesty and inde pendence of spirit M. Kossuth had shown himself so in timately acquainted by the allusions made to then in more then one of his speeches. The station, although situated in a remote and inferior part of the town, was - completely surrounded by the people, who cheered semi- - ferouely as the party • alighted on the platform. M.
