There ere various causes, iiinte inde pceJ,•at of ley owe tcrri•e, to whidt I may owe tais honour. I think it nit unlikely that the eon- nes: in of my family with this district of the country— & cnouesion which I slia3 ever most fondly cherish and row:mixt—may have sorgi.eted to you the conference of :Ws thstinction, to whieh I could oth'rw Sc present but a slender 63:111. I :16.11 it a ot.nware that in .other respects, also. I daire adrownge and reap honour from the 41110 - C:36 . 1.111 which it has been n.y ii,ood fortune to form.

(Cheers.) With these lei , e and eminent man, united un that ground sad for such an object, it has been my happy lot to be associated. I have derived profit from their profound expanse., I have sheered the honours awarled to their estate:is led character, sled by their advice and support I have been , nableil—if there be spy benetit to be drawn from the financial labours of last session—to comps' what could not otherwise have been minimal. (Cheers.) At any rate, sod to whatever cause I may be indebted for the tribesee, I receive it with delight, and my satisfaction Isenhanced by the manner in which it has been conveyed. I am n.uch grstifi.•d by the assurance you have given me as to the manner in which the proposal was received by the Tuwa Cuenca, and I am ea.' to K. by this crowded hod that their sentiments ere shared in and confirmed by the community—that this is not an affair of a party er a clan, but has its origin is a spontate use and gene. ral sentiment pervading the inase of the people. It was t lir any mere party porpoise that Lord Aberdeen acetred the post which he now holds, or that Lord John Russell—who himatlf had held the (Ace of Prime Iler..ster with honour and distincuon—consented to join him; and I flatter myself that their views for the pro- motion of the general welfare will meet a yet wider tippet cistiote, sucessful though they have bees already in securing a large measure of support from the representa tives of the people in pirliament—a support ratified by such manifestations on the part of the people themselves --- ------ . . . as that of which I have now the honour to be the object. (Cheers.) Allusion is ma le to two principal subjects in your address—the two stihjecs which perhaps press most urgently on public notice at the present moment—the C3lll - legislation, which will for ever render memorable the last ten years, and a reference to foreign politics and govere=.ents. With regard to the subject of commercial ligi.latiam, I have already said that I stand here to-day reaping where others have gown. I had indeed the honour to be associated with tls late Sir Robert Peel is the earner stages by which the principles of that legials-, bon which is now more fully recognised were introduced i 1 and to my dying day it will be a source of s &staters+ es me that, from the tormatiou of his government onwards, I was honoured to bear. if an humble, still a laborious peek in e yeing effect to thfse improvcrtieuts and alterations et our commercial and tiscal laws which have shed upon tke country richer and more numerous blessings than even the anticipations of the most sanguine dared have looked for. (Cheers) During 5 or 6 years past we have been congests. Litine ours. Ives on the enjoy silent of them amid cheapoms and abundance, though we m.y have felt that a time would come when, from a pressure upon the means of subsistence, the people would have less facility in obtaining access to them. And how marked is the testimony to the wisdom of meat Pgslation in the spirit whfeh new prevails. do back to other times and we find that when corn was dear the natural anxiety and los; &times of the people vented itself in violations of law, in riot, and in bloodshed; and even in other countries this continues still to be the case. Ouly • few days ago,l read of the governors of two Italian towns losing their lives as • sacrifice to the impatience of the popula- 1 tiou arising from such a cause. Thus it ever has been where man steps in to correct Providential arrangements, and where the pressure of scarcity is aggravated by unwise laws. But see the contrast here ! Not in this quarter, but in other quarters of the country, therein a deficient harvest, and the demand for corn to France has effected our mar kets; but not through all England or &wised is there heard a murmur of impatience or discontent, for the people rest satisfied that if there be a dispensation of scarcity it comes from that Providence whose it is to dispense the mea sures both of abundance and want, they know that human legislation has done all that it can to effect free scope to the energy and industry of man, and hence there is everywhere that tracquillity, contentmen , and self-reliance which we should most desire to prevail. (Cheers,) Your Provost has sail that we have not met here to celebrate a party triumph. There was a time when the question of protective' duties was made one of party struggle and conflict. There was • time, even after the victory had been achieved, when a large party adopted " Protection" as their motto and ice- scribed it on their banners. But those times are gees by, the force of truth has won its way, and I scarcely believe tly-t after the evidence which the lapse of time liaa 11411.. mutated, there exieu any longer a section of the cosamenity who, if they had the power, would wish to step book se alter or modify • system of legislation so (Cheers.) What was:once but an opinion of phalluses", in their closets, spread from one class to another, asespied the minds of statesmen, obtained the voice of parliemeat, took the torts of law, is now the filed policy and reigns enthroned of in the sanction and Itej a i ll ei country. (Loud cheers.) And let me add the ettpree- Mon of an anticipatory hope that the sad of lee has not yet bees reached. The example of is of mighty faros. Her example bee had mach to do is persuading the other nations of Europe that in • Pr strictive comnserciel code there wee some fancied seer* of national wealth and prosperity. But the deinelien once rejected by us, it will not be long issintaiminl by them; the emphatic testimony to the advent.gm ce hire commerce which the triumphant results of • hal mid s owing application of its principles Ms =l . l 42 :lebied work its way among the intelligent el the producing a similar development ty sad among them; mutual intercourse be siremsmi llaul ti the benefits which come in the train ef increased eausamesi cation and augmented wealth will thus be muldpikidii great social and moral aims which we desire to see premesed will be helped onwards, the tendency to international *fie end war will be repressed ; and if we do not thus males all the blessings which Christianity promisee to waking. many of these evils which must seriously hinder their ed. vane* will be taken out of the way. (Loud cheers.) Taw address also adverts to my humble efforts in behalf of *ewe whoa I belie.e to be oppressed in another country. It must be painful to us, natives of Great Britain—eitixess of • country when the principles of liberty and obedience to law are both held in deter red veneration—of • country where the meet elteOliTO changes are brought about by legal and rational means—it must be paints' for us to look abroad over the Continent and see how little progress the nations of Europe have made in the path of temperate and rational freedom. There is one year which I fear most be marked as very disastrous in their annals— I mean the revolutionary year of 1348—for while certainly there was much which deserved to be swept away, the effect was to provoke a terrible malice. to diminish the hope of rational freedom, to exasperate the spirit:of despot-' ism where it existed, to develop extreme opinions, and to diminish the prospect of gradual and temperate advance to that system of constitutional government—the results of which we so happily enjoy. In the country where it was my fortune to reside at the period to which allusion has been made, I perceived that great sufferings were inflicted on large numbers in consequence of this reactionary spirit— • spirit, the natural effect of whose manifestations is certainly to provoke popular resistance, and to engender many terrible evils. I do entertain an earnest hope for the improvement of Italy ; and. ISO far as the present government is concerned, 1 am sure it will be their endeavour to promote that object —not in the spirit of reckless propagandism, which would raise op the national spirit against us, but by sash • wise and temperate policy as will secure our moral HAMM& AI present we cannot speak w.th satisfaction of foreign You well know that causes are operative which treeresl the peace of Europe. I trust you also know, and are well persuaded, that the most anxious efforts of the British go vernment have been directed towards the maintenance of general peace, and the protection of those who want strength to protect themselves. (Cheers.) NO assurance from me to this effect us wanted, for the temper and attitude of the people have shown how thoughtfully they confide in their rulers, and hew anxious they ere for the maintenance of peace combined with honour. The time is happily past when an ignorant eagerness for war could take possession of moves of the community, we do not fail to profit by the ler sons of history, though after 40 yeah of peace, when most of us have grown up without any actual experience of the evils of a mated war, we may be apt to forget their number and magni tude. The heavy burdens which war entail, on posterity is the least of its evils : it as the effosion of human blood, the dis• s ol u tion of domestic ties, the letting loose of a moral scourge over a country which ought to be thought ot, and which impose an absolute obligation on governments and states men to avoid it at the cost of any sacrifice short of duty and honour. This is the principle which has guided the govern went tnreughnut the i.. iotiation of the last few months ; and by tnis rule they would still act, knowing that it was with indivn'uals as with nations—that a war might be very popular at its commencement which would he very hateful a t its ease, j ist as there were few people who entered on a y earra l rats than breve and selt-r,liant, hut ' I wh o miglt not .11k..• it mach ere all 11.1• aster. Mr. 01 1 4.1 0 ,., thee, r. meriting that the ihsdes of evening which were closing 'pond them, coneeyed a warning to be brief, proceeded to refer to the future—alluding es. pecially to the great chant, c which has of late come over the spirit end temper of pas 'les. At the sacrifice of much personal feeling, in %Matted of the mice terms of political consistency, unsay useful mekfures hail been carried through, with the farther effector completely disorganising old party connexions. The House of Commons was not now divided into two compact fortes, opposing each other on every trivial point; the broad c in..ra 3 ts of party had been obliterated, and members of the legsAatore elerejaid were their own fees fin and were actuated 1 a a greater ea: tent by their honest convictions. This is it "il was real prowess—it was a result which augured w ell for the triumph of reason and justice. It was a cons.Nuence of this state of matters that the present admit. - istration had received so large an amount of what is termed " independent aupp..rt," From its character any.' ex perience it was peculiarly bound to go on con ods eting favour of that kind ; and the best way' to ac omplish such an object was neither, on the one hang% to hug past abuses wider the pretence of maintaining our in,titutions ; o. r, on the other, recklessly to urge a de mend at variance with the essential characteristics of our I institutions. lan also was the true way to obtain the con fidence and support of the people at large, whom it was alike vein and undoirable to attempt to g..sern on the prin ciple of a blind sup , rstition. He thought he might safely promise this would b, the course the government would our ue. For him'elf, he would yield obedience to no other principle. The risVa boo. gentlemaoc••o.ludcd by repeat• log his thanks foe the compliment bestowed on bi2l. At the close he was rapturously applauded ; and after three cheers had been given for him, with the addition of one for the Provos:, the meeting separated shortly after six o'clock. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 30, 1853. ELECTION OF LORD MA FOR FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a common hall was held for the election ef • Lord M cyor tor the ensuing year. There were several aldermen on the hustings, and a larger assemblage of livery assn is the hal than is newel on uucontested suctions. The livery, after the usual formalities, elected Al lermen Sidney anal Mson, awl the Sheriffs immediately informed the Court of Aldermen of the result, upon which the alder men proceeded to elect one of the two thus returned. The Sheriffs having announced that Alderman Sidney was chosen Lord Mayor, a declaration which was received with loud cheers, The Tows CLERK called upon that gentleman to say whether he consented to take upon himself the office. Mr. Aldermen SI UN IST. who was loudly cheered, said— Gentlemen of the livery, called upon as I am by the Town Clerk of this encirut city to announce to you in oummoo hall assembled, whether it is my will to take upon me the honourable office to which you have this day elected me, I beg to state to you that I shall enter on my duties with sincere gratification, confident as I am that in doing so I have received the un bought and the unasked suffrages of a large number of my fellow-citacus. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Gen tlemen, from my earliest infancy the office of Lord Mayor hes been uppermost in my mind. (Cheers and laughter.) Talk about the Lord Mayor's show being abolished, why, it made the first and most lasting impreasion upon my mind ! Unlike whet is done now is the eastern countries of the world, I then thought that the Lord Mayor of London was the greatest potentate upon earth. Gentlemen, as I became 3 man and *citizen of this great City I learnt that there we. - e other qualifications for a chief magistrate. (Hear, n ea r •) I nave learnt that to honourably perform a e i t m et is duty—l hose learnt that to walk honestly in the p a th in which it has pleased Providence to place me I l ie re won the confidence and the esteem of my fellow-ctharna ; and the day's electiou shows the world that I hay. • nut walked in that path in vain. (Cheers.) It would lee unpardonable in me to aver upon an y qum tio t i now that would create a discussion or difference of opinion in this hall—(hear, hear) — bat I cannot a void saying that you have assembled at a': lio n i m p or t an t ,;uncture of the City's affairs, and in a few days hence there w itt be assembled commissioners from her m ajesty to i nqu i re ;tato the usages, the custom', and the conduct of the Corpo ration of London. (Hear, hear.) I ant only anticipating Gat which I am sure will be realised when on behalf of the corporation I say that every indivi dual member of that hotly has appeared most zealous in courting the inquiry. (lie ar, hear.) And, although it is sot fur me to say that time has not made some inroads in our civic constitution, which it requires the aid of the le 'Mature to correct, still I feel confident that the City of Leaden will come from that ordeal with renewed honour, end with elasticity to coatinue the course which has distin guished them for so many centuries. (Cheers.) I believe, gentl -men, that I shall be something like the seven hun dredth Lord Mayor who has taken upon himself this most dignified and onerous office. The office of chief magistrate was until some centuries ago known as " Port Reeve," since which period it has been recognised by the familiar title of " Lord Mayor." In that office it will be my most anxious and ardent desire to learn what are my duties, and to discharge them with that even-handed jostles and that impartiality to every other citizen's opinion, which I trust will earn for me at the period of my retirement the appro- bation, esteem, and respect, not only of those who now listen to me, but of ell classes of my fellow-citizens. Mr. Jolts Dibbox—Gentlemen of the Livery, I avail myself of this occasion, as daring the present mayoralty there will be co other opportunity of expressing our sense of his services, to move a vote of thanks to the present Lord Mayor for his conduct during his tenure of office. (Cheers.) I believe you will all join with me in declaring that he has most ably and most impartially performed his duties as a magistrate and as Lord Mayor of this great city—(cheere)— that by the hospitality which he has displayed he has endeavoured to promote the cause of educa tion, of knowledge, and of science. (Cheers.) I shall conclude by reminding you, that if there are public reasons for expressing our deep sense of his public services, there are other circumstances which have at this moment wade him particularly the object of our personal soli citude and sympathy. (.. Hear, hear," and continued cheering) I now propose that the sincere thanks of this common hall be presented to the Right Hon. Thomas Chal lis, M.P. Lord Mayor of the City, for the dignified and impartial in which he has discharged the duties of chief magistrate, for his earnest endeavours to promote the diffusion of education and the advancement of science, for his generous assistance to the charities of this City, end for munificent hospitality, by which the ancient dignity and nopeitation of the office of Lord Mayor has been upheld and sundered more dear to his fellow citizens. (Cheers.) Me. Deputy BENNOCK—Gentlemen of the Livery, I have =Oruro seconding the motion. Coming in contact y with the Lord Mayor, I must express to you the assaeiing kindness with which ho has at all times listened no ovary suggestion calculated to improve the condition IMt only of the City but also of the citizens. (Cheers.) I believe that upon no one occasion has he ever declined com ing forward, either in person or in purse, to do his utmost in ameliorating the condition of the suffering, and improv ing the condition of the poor. (Cheers.) This has been with him a prime characteristic ever sines he has taken any interest in public affairs ; and while he has had the honour of presiding over the affairs of this great city during the last year, I believe he has lost no opportunity of expressing those principles by which he has always been actuated. (Cheers.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. I The LOYD MATOR, who, on presenting himself, was en thusiastically greeted, said—Gentlemen of the Livery, I em deeply sensible of the honour you have done me in passing the resolution which has just been submitted to you. Nur ant I insensible of the kindness of the eloquent gentlemen who have proposed and seconded that resolution for your adoption. (Cheers.) The greatest reward in my halal& opium that it is possible for a public man to receive is the approbation of the constituency who have elected him to the high position which I have for some months peat had the honour to hold. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, without detaining you by making any observations upon the resolution itself, or upon this interesting point to which my attention by that »solution has been directed, I beg to assure yon that while I most highly appreciate the honour you have just con ferred upon me, it will always be the highest object of my ambition to merit the esteem, respect, and approbation of say follow citizens. (Prolonged cheering.) Mr. Deputy 11•11.8180 N—Brother Liveryssen,—l have the pleasure to appear before you for the purpose of making a proposition to which I believe there will not be a dissen tient voice. Gratitude is one of the peculiarities of the English character, and, where it is deserved, Englishmen me at all times delighted to bestow it. (Hear.) I now • vote of thanks to the late sheriffs, Mr. Carter and It would be perfectly unnecessary for me to take up your time by referring to the manner in which them gentlemen have discharged their duties. (Hear, hear.) They have devoted their time, their talents, and their means in the promotion of all the charitable institutions ef the City. I believe they have perfectly fulfilled their trust, and I am sure that there have Moth no two gentlemen filling the important office of sheriff fir many years who have more diligently attended to alb dotal, or with greater anxiety to relieve the sufferings 'lithos, who by th e course elm have been committed m their sharp. (Hear, hear.) I mere, " That the thanks of the citizens of Louden are eminently due to Mr. Alderman Carter and Alexander Angus CroU, Beg, the We thank et London and Middle sex, for the meths Is thy ham maintained the dig nity and ~IT eta, odlsm malbersd upon them, for their liberal hempleality s sad perdeniarly for the way in which they haw dimmed their tim e their money, and their of Oa =MOM charitable la d e a ss w = ggrejb li oggsgpeNe 116.11.1116 (Hear, bear.).

The motion was seconded and carried unanimously, after which the proceedings were declared to be terminated. THE TURKISH EMPIRE AND THE GREEKS. Last evening a meeting was held at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-street, the notice convening it stating that it would be compo.ed of the friends of Greece." About 1,..0 persona were present, principally foreigners, and a por tion of them ladies. The Earl of Harrington h ad been in vited to preside, hut it was stated that he had declined, and that he required a declarition that the persons ceiling the ineetinEwere not parti.en+ of Russia. The Rev. Mr. IiLitHLI.T was thereupon called to the choir, and he said the object or the meeting was the pro motion, by paci fi c means, of the cause of Christianity as ags.nstthe Crescent. By pacific means he meant diplomatic means, or means aualegous thereto. They were not at all desirous of promoting the designs of the Russian., but they wished to promote the formation of a Christian empire in the east, having Constantinople for its capital. Mr. PHRCY ST. JOHN then addressed the meeting. He enlarged at considerable length upon the state of the Turkish empire, which he described as being in a most abject and degraded condition. Since iB2l Turkey had ceased to take an active part in the affairs of the world; it was a protected state upheld by the commiseratiog of the great powers of Europe. It had no army, and no navy worth the name. The population of European Turkey consisted of eleven millions of Christians and three millions of Turks. The merchant., the cultivator., the men who did all the work, were the Greeks, but the Turks tyrannised over them. The Greeks naturally looked to Russia as the only power that had offered to protect them. He thought, however, they were wrong in this, for if Russia got possevion of Constan tinople the Greeks would fall under a despotism worse than that under which tt.ey at present suffered. He thought at the present moment it was the duty of England to prevent the Russians from arriving at Constantinople, and that the only mode by which they could oppose the aggressions of Russia was by the establishment of another power that would compete with Russia. He moved a resolution, that an association be formed under the name of the Eastern Christian League, to disseminate informa tion regarding, and to excite the sympathy of England in behalf of, the suff:ring Christian. of the Levant. Mr. Sulimn/ HIBBEBT etcondtd, and the Cm/Inman declared it earned. _ Mr. Rowan Sr. ions( then moved another resolution, that the sympathy of this country is eye to th e eastern Christians; and Mr. ANDKER EIGOPOLOUS, a Greek, in seconding It, said the Oreels intended to finish the revolu tion thry began in Ib2l, and they could settle it with Turkey if other nations would not interfere. Mr. Szootunsrz then addressed the meeting. He con tended that a great deal was to be said for Turkey—that its governaent was not more tyrannical than other govern ments, that it saved Kossuth from death, end he stated his opinion to be that if auy change was made there ought to be a republic in Turkey. The resolution passed with half-a dozen dissentients; and anther resolution appoititica • committee was also agreed to. The usual vote of thanks to the chairman wound up the proceedings. COMPLIMENTARY DEJEUNER TO MR. G. V. BROOKE. __.___ Yesterday, a complimentary ddeuner was given to this popular tragedian, at the Coalhole T , Strand. About 50 gentlemen connected with the drama were pre sent. Mr. T. E. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, presided, and in proposing the health of Mr. Brooke, stated that while Mr. Brooke had been performing at Drury-lane the nightly receipts bad been greater than at any period during the last 25 years. The experiment of a morning per formance was tried the other day, much against the advice of some of his friends. The result, however, was that the home was crowded, ash: that money was refused at the doors, and many took tickets for a subeequent night performance. And after the performance in the morning hundreds of per- - _ - sons might have been seen taking refreshments in the various houses of entertainment in the neighbourhood, waiting until the evening performance commenced, that they might see Mr. Brooke es the stage again. It was also but judos to state that Mr. Brooke, though the best Shy. lock on the stage, was by no means a Shylock of it, and many poor mon could hear testimony to his generosity. At the conclude• of his address, Mr. Smith, as • mark of his esteem, presented Mr. Brooke with a diamond ring and a dirk richly mounted with silver, to be used in his repro eentations of Hamlet. Mr. Brooke suitably acknowledged the compliment paid to him, and in the coarse of hie address spoke gratefully of the friendly feeling which had been in variably manifested towards him during hie career on the star.

They farther expressed their unanimous opinion "that Jehn Graham was guilty of using great violence and very im ! proper treatment to deceased on the night of his arrival." I Upon the delivery of this verdict, Dr. Dartnell, the senior physician to the hospital, requested that some evidence might be adduced as to the general management of the asylum, but the coroner observed that it was quite unne cessary, as the jury did not wish to convey the slightest miseries on the medical men, whose management they did not doubt was perfectly satisfactory. Shortly after the inquest the keeper (Graham) sent in hie resignation.— Dry Post. BERIOrS CIIAROS AGAINST A HIJSBAND.—NOT- T 11101•11, WIDNIIIDAY.—An inquest, involving a serious charge against • man named Edward Stevenson, alias Thihon, living in Earl-street, has been held at the Watch house this afternoon. Stevenson had been married about eight years, but had frequently been separated from his wife. On the 22nd of July they met, after having been parted for fifteen months, and soon afterwards they went to live together again. About three weeks ago the woman became very unwell, and, her illness gradually increasing, terminated last night in her death, after having given pre- SWIM birth to a child. Before she died, and when fully conscious et her impending dissolution, she confessed that she had been tampered with by her husband. These facts having been proved, the jury found • verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Stevenson, and he has boon committed for trial upon the charge. THE RBOISTILI27ONa NARYLEBONZ, Mr. Wsaiturt said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed to pay them money, and no doubt he would do so. The CHAIIIX&N said that the object of the directors was to do everything which they believed to be for the benefit of the company, and to do that is the most clear and Open manner. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the chairman. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF FIVE THOUSAND ELEC- Toms—Yesterday Mr. John Fraser M'Queen, the barrister appointed to revise the lists of voters for the borough of Marylebone opened hie court at the Court-hones, Masyle hone-lane, for the purpose of revising the lists for the parishes of Marylebone and Paddington. The only re markable circumstance in connexion with the revision is the fact that in the parish of Marylebone there ITO nearly two thousand persons who were on last year's register dis qualified for non-payment of assessed taxes on or before the 20th July. In the parish of St. Pancras there are upwards of two thousand disqualified from a similar cause, and in the parish of Paddington several hundreds, making in the aggregate just 5,000 persons disfranchised from that cause. It us understood that in future some more determined ste; a will be used by the local authorities to make the electors acquainted with the necessity of paying their assessed taxes on or before the 20th July. The court will sit to-day at St. Pancras to revise the lists for that parish. BRISTOL. _ The revision of the parliamentary lists of voters for the city and county of Bristol, his been going on this week before the revising barrister, W. Saunders, Esq., of the western circuit, and the results up to the present time not only maintain the triumphant position of the liberal and free trade party, but very much increase their former majority. The revising barrister first proceeded with the freemen's list, which he has completely revised. There was a liberal gain on freemen of 108.

A petition was proved fatal. presented against the bill, however, in the House The local authorities are exercising the powers of Lords by certain parties, solicitors, who objected to the granting to a company the power to act as trustees. In with which they are entrusted. point of form, these petitioners were right, the bill having been introduced at so late a period, but it was difficult to understand what boasafide objection they could have to the granting of this power. That interest was however ad mitted by the House of Lords, and the consequence was that that part of the bill which conferred the trust powers had to be struck tout of the bill, and also that pest which would enable some proprietors to retire on obtaining their share of the assets of the company, and the others to go on. But the bill also crutaioed clauses, introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of enabling him to make a fresh offer to thorn proprietors who held stock in thoirjeint names, before the capital was paid off; and of enabling the company to accept such offer, it so made and accepted by the parties. The bill then passed with these clauses, and the result was that the Chancellor of the Exchequer might make to these proprietors a fresh offer of eommuta tion, and it those persons accepted the offer so made, the company might, oa their behalf, accept the terms for their particular benefit. That was the precise state of the law at the present moment with regard to the South Sea Company. After some conversation, The CHAIRMAN observed that the point as to the expense was a reasonable one, but he thought it would be unworthy of the company if they on that account refused the power of accepting terms on behalf of the joint stock holders, which might be an important privilege for them. Then, if terms were offered and accepted, the parties benefited would not refuse to bear the expense of an act which was for their particular benefit. lie did not think that the consideration of expense ought to stand in the way of the benefit which might be done to the holders of 2,000,0004 of stock which the joint proprietors were. As to the question of winding up, he did not think they had power, under the existieg acts, to take such a step, and it would be necessary'to get an act of parliament to do so. It was a question of grave consideration what steps should be taken in this respect. The company might appear to have floundered "in not eccomphshing an object which they thought they would have succeeded in. but after the bill had passed the House of Commons, and the first read ing in the House et Lords, it could not be said that they had not reasonable grounds for believing that they would have succeeded in obtaining the privilege which they sought. In reply to a Paorateroa, The CHAIRMAN wad that the financial pos ition of the company was not altered. The value of South Sea stock was now 116/. Ws. 4d., let what would happen. A great part of their other funds was in the same position, for South Sea annuities must be paid off at par, but other por tions of the property did not stand in the same happy posi tion of being paid off at par. Mr. HAMMOND.—That amounted to only 160,0001. Mr. Jeer.' complained of the conduct of the directors, in going to parliament for a bill, and Uncial the proprietors by surprise. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors acted in conformity with a resolution of the proprietors, agreed to at a general meeting. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Josze—The Chancellor of the Exchequer having got into a difficulty, he took advantage of this bill, and manoeuvred to get out of it. The CHAIRMAN—No, he did not. Mr. bonne— He got the bill passed, and then threw upon the company the expense of in That was an improper thing to do. He wished to know if the directors could accept the proposal of the Commissioners of the Treasury, supposing one to be made, without the assent of the plo proctors thereto being first obtained. The CHAIRMAN said that the company could accept the proposal on behalf of the parties to whom it was made, if the assent of those parties was given is writing. Mr. BRUNAL thought that when the money was given it ought to be distributed amongst the proprietors. Ile ex pected 12,0004 or 13,0001., and made arrangements accord ingly. That point was one which ought to be distinctly ascertained. The CHAIRMAN said that the question proceeded on this fallacy—for it was a fallacy—that it assumed the proprietors were the lenders of the money to the government, whereas they were only purchasers of u shares in the company. The question was, could they legally divide the money ? They were bound to do what was legal, and they could not dispose of the money unless they were entitled so to do. Mr. HAMMOND had no idea that there would be any difficultynyfe it iwneegsietetienegtedthien stock by eh lf e , gett ing daifrtereetere and that stock the directors would be answerable to the proprie tors.b l powers t The proprietors agreed not to take stock, and if should be obtained sthhoeudirectonhinsded toenable not them to authority to di? o u ri so t ute money, The proprietors generally expected that the money would be divided. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 29. The Rhein, Captain Pop, front Hamburg to New York, eleven days from the first•named place, has . put into this port to-day, owing to sickness on board. Since she left Hamburg she has Wet 11 of her passengers, reported to be from ch•dera, and she had 2.5 other cases of sickness when she arrived at Spithead late last night. The Rhein is an emigrant ship, and has about 200 passengers on board. This morning she came up to the Metherbank, when a sur geon was sent at to her by L A. Vanden Bergh, Esq., the consul at this port for the Hanseatic Towns, who, on his return nom her, in addition to the above number of deaths, reports finding three children sick Lora diarrbma, the surgeon of the ship reporting that the deaths had arisen from dierrhees and vomiting. He considered that looseness in the bowels and general debility were brought on by severe sea sickness, arising from the late tempestuous weather. The medical practitioner not out by Mr. Van den Bergh assembled the passengers en deck, and ordered their berths to be thoroughly "anted out, the hold of the ship to be fumigated with chloride of lime, and a more solid dietary to be wawa Sot to all on board. These mea -1 ,it is hoped, will restore the passengers to health. The Board of Guardians of this union assembled at their rooms to day, J. F. Pratt, Esq., in the chair, for the pur pose of meeting Mr. Hawley, one of the inspectors from the Poor Law Board, in reference to the adoption of =ea. , sures for preventing the spread of cholera to this locality. Mr. Ilawley explained at considerable length, and with much persrioacity, the directions and regulations of the General Board of Health, dated the 20th instant, issued under authority of the Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act, stating the best means of preventing the outbreak of cholera, and of resisting that outbreak, should it unfortunately occur in the locality. At the conclusion of his observations, which were received with the greatest respect by the guardians assembled, the board formed themselves into district committees for the purpose of carrying into operation the provisions of the above act, and then adjourned till today (Friday) for the appointment of inpectors of nuisances, medical officers, &e. There has been no signs at present of the approach of cholera here, . , although disrrhma has been somewhat prevalent.

DUBLIN, SIP!. 29• The opening of the new docks, which took place yesterday at Limerick,was the moet important event connected with the visit of the Lord Lieutenant to that locality. The ceremony passed off with much eclat, and at night the event was celebrated in an effective manner, all the principal buildings in the city having been brilliantly illuminated, and his Excellency, with a large number of distinguished guests, having been entertained at a banquet by the Dock Committee. This morning his Excellency and Lady St. Germans will proceed at an early hour to Adore Castle, the residence of Lord Dunraven, where they breakfast, and immediately afterwards will proceed by carriages to Foynes, where they will meet the party that will go down by the Holyrood steamer. His Excellency will then "turn the first sod" of the Foynes Railway, after which he will return on board the Holyrood, and partake of a dejeune, to be given by the directors of the London and Limerick Steamship Company, to which up wards of 200 of the principal nobility and gentry are invited. Previous to the (Nelms his Excellency will be presented with an address from the directors of the Limerick Steamship Company. Sir Edward Blakeney is gradually recovering from the effects of his late severe accident, but is still con fined to his room at the Portrush Hotel. The Limerick Chronicle says : The Duke of Cambridge is to succeed to the command in Ireland. and Lord Cardigan is to be the inspector•general of cavalry. This implies that the brevet will take in more colonels to be major-generals than was at first surmised. Mr. C. G. Daffy, M.P., was entertained at a public dinner by his constituents at New Ross, on Tuesday evening. There was the usual amount of young Ireland eloquence, and declamation about tenant right, &c., on the occasion. On Monday a court martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Queen, on Lieutenant Toms, officer of marines, for being drunk on the 12th instant, in Bantry Bay, while on guard. The admiral of the fleet and twelve captains presided, and the prisoner was assisted by Counsellor O'Hea, and Mr. P. O'Connell, solicitor. The proceedings were conducted with all the imposing pomp and ceremony usual on such occasions, and a large number of spectators from Cork, Queenstown, and other localities round the harbour, were present. The Judge-Advocate having read the charge against the prisoner, the captain and several other officers of the Queen were ex amined, who swore that he was quite drunk at half past five o'clock on the day in question, when he should have been on duty. The evidence for the pro secution having closed, the prisoner, by the de sire of his counsel, applied for two hours to prepare his de fence, which was immediately granted. At the end of that ime the court re-assembled, when the prisoner requested that his counsel should be allowed to read the statement which he had prepared in his defence. This request, though an unusual one, was at once complied with, and Mr. O'Hea acco rdingly read a long and elaborate defence. Several witnesses were then called on his behalf, who proved that he was perfectly sober up to five o'clock • that he then went down to his cabin, and lay on his bed, from which he was suddenly c alled up; and that when he came on deck, he appeared rather confused and frightened ; he also received the highest character for good con duct and gentlemanly demeanour. The defence hav ing closed, the spectators were . requested to with draw, and the court remained in consultation for sometime. About four o'clock the spectators were readmitted, and the names of the witnesses and the officers presiding over the court having been called over, the Judge-Advocate delivered the following decision : That Lieutenant Toms was guilty of drunkenness on the 12th inst., in the Bay of Bantry, while on duty, but tak ing into account the defence which had been made, and the recent death of his father, the sentence of the court is, that he shall leave the Queen, and be sent on board some other ship; that he be reprimanded, and is accordingly re primanded, and that his promotion be stopped for twelve months." This sentence was considered by all who heard it as remarkably lenient, and was received with evident gra tification by the prisoner himself, who had apparently anti cipated that it would be much severer. KR JAMES GRAHAM AT CORK. The pubic entertainment given bythe corporation of Cork to the Lords of the Admiralty took place on Tuesday evening, at the Victoria Hotel, in that city. About 250 guests sat down to dinner, including the officers of the fleet and garrison, and the most distinguished of the local gentry. Mr. J. F. MAO anti, M.P., Mayor of Cork, pre sided. At the right of the chairman sat Sir James Graham, Bart., First Lord of the &drairalv, Major-General Mansell, K.C.8., Rcar•Admiral Corry, K.C.8., Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, Edmund Burke Roche, M.P., William Fagan,_ M.P. • on the le ft , the Right Ron. the Earl of Bandon, Rear-Admiral Sir William F.

Lord of the Admiralty, Francis Bernard Bearnisb, M.P. After the usual loyal toasts, the MAYOR gave " The I Lord Lieutenant and Prosperity to Ireland,' to which ' Mr. Burr, 11. P., responded in a speech that was loudly cheered. The Maros next gave "The Sister Services—the homy and Navy." (Loud cheers.) Sir WILLIAM CARROLL replied to the lOWA Of the navy. Major-General MANSELL, on the part of the army, re- I turned his most sincere and hearty thaws', (Great ap plause.) The AL? i " Thegh. . . - ,ot. lion. Sir James B ri:ommissioners of the Admiralty." The toast was receiv , 4 with immense enthu siasm. th " e t :th a e n r d Lo ga rd ve sl l Sir JAMES Oneness rose 10 re..pond to the toast, and was received with loud and enthusiastic acclamations. After the cheers Awl in some degree subsided, the rizht bon Nroset, ; after a few preliminary remarks, said—lt would seem (Lit to a t n half of chu o: l o h i a sh ' eu P . e , :Alcuetmi which h m t as al b : t ; t o y t °e .i b , n dt t n t h r ay i I ya k m be i r d u l i r a:M a hk i allat 8:it: accepted, t politics . n er tP thatt w e ad y i I h g : newaj(plrk pledge (anevt hear, ar, e m Board Iw .i h , honoured c . g h ave b ut o . l i e d d . ut a y a , tt w ea kie w h it i tt i h th er e it de a f t e ee nc t .; . n e f arat tbe y ir , e t ha t n y m a o r n e preparsd, without distinction of party, without know ledge of poll:iced difference*, at all times and in all circumstauces, faithfully to do their duty to their com mon country. (Chet re.) It would La unseemly, there fore, to have exposes] either of those gallant proles/nuns who accepted your invitatibM with cordiality and confidence, to any expression of political difference Wife, then, did I ask that pledge ? It has been nay duty, during a long political life, to take as active part in those struggles which naturally are involved iu political dttfa ru,oes. 1 did fear that, in my own person, after all that has uccurred, during the lapsedf that period, I might by my presence excite some what of a bitter feeling on the part of some of you, it was my fear and misgiving in that rerpect which your kindness to night has entirely dissipated and eutirely dispelled, but I thought it prudent, iu the circumstances to which 1 have referred, to seek an assurance such as I thought it prudent in the manner I have mentioned to ask. (Hear, hear.) Now, then, the honours* member for Youghal has ob served, I might say witheemarkeble truth and justice, that, whatever may be the state of difference which may exist upon some subjr, many cherished prejudices have been ;al b e a t . thereteel thatone dissipated ipsreica,dniieit i e rn a c tit e t sh a te s i i d n e as — tvra ( ol h n e g i ;he an dcs: in i cr o o) a over which the Board of Admiralty presides, and an earnest desire that its flag shall heave, as heretofore, the battle and the iiresze un tarnished sad invincible. (Loud cheers) Now, gentlemen, it has been the endeavour of successive governments to use all the modern appliances of science, all the improvements which that science has dicta'ed and taught to that gallant profession; and I sad my colleagues thought it would be agreeable to the Irish people in this, one of the most splendid ports of the empire, to see the British fleet, with those improvements to which I have referred, and in that state of preparation of which I am proud to think it a bright example. (" Hear," and loud cheers.) Foreign navies may multiply and abound, foreign empires may totter and fall, but it is the duty of the British government to see that native arm of its strength, one of its powerful arms—l mean its navy, is ready for the defence of our native country, and it it be so ready, and led me add if peace at home be reserved, and if we are united among ourselves, as we are united this evening, we have nu reasou " to tear the world in arms." (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, 1 beg of you not to mistake me. Although connected intimately with the naval profession, the professiuu of arms, 1 am certain that I speak the sense of my colleagues that, by such preparation, the most earnest and anxious desire is to preserve the peace;of Europe, to take care that while trea ties are religiously observed, that, while there shall be no meddling interference with the domestic concerns of foreign countries, the honour of England, the interests of England, the commerce in England shall be, and of Ireland, and of Scotland, and of the United Kingdom, shall be maintained in every part of the world—tar as those distant countries washed by the larti•est seas to which our commerce and flag have access. (Loud cheers.) In the spirit uf peace, then, these preparations are made ; and I am confident that whilst Lord Aberdeen presides over the councils of the Sovereign every effort will be made, in a spirit of peace, to maintain the honour and character of England. Now, something was said with respect to the immediate interests of Cork harbour as connected with the public expenditure. (Rear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I Coma here to return you thanks, and not to read you a lecture; hut I must say this, that my experience of public attain has led me to this con clueiun, that the less the people of those countries, Ireland included, rely on the efforts of the government, a n d th e more they rely on their own exertions, the wore certain is their success, and the more honourable the reward of their industry. What shall I say now? Refe rence has been made to the Great Exhibition of London, which exalted the character of this country throughout the world, and which will produce a permaneut 'fleet on its future fortunes. (Hear.) Well, was that the work of go vernment, or was it not r.ther the work of the industrieue people of this country unaided by the government? Take, again, your own exhibition, here in Cork. (Hear.) T hat was a spontaneous effort w hichl suggested the exhibition in your capital, which it is my intention to visit as soon as the close of my official labours will permit. Was that the work of a government ? or was it nut rather the unaided work of one of your fellow-countrymen, whose name will be banded to posterity as a benefactor to his country ? (Cheers) He felt, and still feels, the gratification of his position ; he has re fused any honour which might for a moment ennoble him ; but be has received the graceful visit of the first Lady of the realm, a visit from our gracious Sovereign, which shows how deeply she appreciates his efforts for the promotion of the industry of this country. (Cheers.) Now, with regard to my arrival in Cork, I must say I felt satisfied on visiting a work to which her Majesty's government has given some small assistance. 1 WAS yesterday asked, nut for money, but merely to give the consent of the Ad miralty to what will be a vast improvement, about to he commenced in the harbour—l mean the erection of piers and docks, the immediate Iruit of the industry of the people of this locality. (Hear, hear.) Theo work., in tended to be erected between Queenstown and Cork, works of a magnificent description, are unaided by an, grant of public money ; and, gentlemen, there are many other marks of returning prosperity to which the hon. and learned member for Youghal has referred, and which are, moreover, connected with that doctrine for which I have been contending. It was fancied suit feared that the she ration in our commercial regulations would bear hardly upon the people of Ireland, and that the provision trade— the great staple trade of this country—would be over powered by competition. Now, gentlemen, to come to particulars, the navy contracts have been brought of late more par ticularly . within the power of the smalle r con traction in this neighbourhood ; and in open market the people of Ireland have underbid all other contractors. (Cheers.) I have been told by those who received these contracts that the marked improvement in the quality of the beet and pork of this country has been extraordi nary, and that within the last two years the quality has so improved as to go far beyond that which it used to do, , even in this the centre of the provision trade ; and which I shows that the agriculturists have used extraordinary e'er hens in the improvement of their cattle and swine. And although this may appear a small matter, yet it is of these small things the wealth and importance of tile general com munity is composed. (Hear.) Your excellent chief magis trate has informed you that with regurd to your harbour, he would exact no pledge from me ; and the hon. and learned member from Youghal has likewise said th - at" Irish members give such bed characters of each other that the harsh Saxon hearts believe both." (Laughter.) Now I beg to say I shall return from Ireland—Saxon and borderer as I am—with this account, that I had the honour of meet ing in Cork a large party without distinction of politics or creed—(cheers)—that I and my colleagues received the kindest reoe ption—(cheers)—th at we surveyed your harbour, I which we consider to be unrivalled—(cheers)—and although I have given you no fulsome promises as to expenditure of public money, I will say you are perfectly entitled to every benefit in the way of improvement which the com mon interest of the realm may require. (Hear, hear.) Though I give you no pledge, yet when I see Sir William Carroll, a distinguished Irishman, yeur Port Admiral— (eheers)—when I see Rear Admiral Corry, a distinguished Irishman also, in command of the fleet now in your hat , bour—(cheers)—when I see an adopted Irishman, " the Osborne of Tipperary," Secretary to the Admiralty, and I may add when I have a relative of my own, an" O'Brien of the eighteen," as my private secretary, 1 do not think you have reason to suppose that justice to Ireland will not mark the conduct of the present government. Allow me, then, to thank you for the kind manner in which you have receind my health and that of the Board of Admiralty; and in return for which I beg to drink moat cordially al l your very good healths. (Cheers.) The Maeoa—The next toast on my list is, " Rear Ad miral Corry, Commander Martin, and the other officers of the fleet." Drunk with applause. Rear-Admiral CORILY rose amid loud applause, and said he should assure them the fleet would not sail to-morrow. (Cheers.) In the name of Commodore Martin and the Maoists of the fleet which now occupied their splendid and magnificent harbour, as well as on his own part, he begged to return them thanks. (Loud cheers.) Tire MATOIt subsequently gave the health of " the Pro testant and Roman catholic Bishops of Cork," " the Earl of Bandon," " the Mayor and Corporation of Cork," and "Ralph B. Osborne, Esq., Secretary of the Admiralty." Mr. 0813011.212, who on rising was received with great cheering, acknowledged the compliment in a handsome speech, which was interrupted with frequent applause ; he resumed his seat amidst warm expressions of enthusiasm. The MAYOR then gave, in appropriate terms, "the County, City, and Borough Representatives." Mr. E. B. Roche, M.P., Mr. Fagan, M.P., Lord Bernard, M.P., Mr. Butt, M.P., and Mr. Cecil Lawless, M.P., seve rally acknowledged the compliment. The company soon after separated. ZULU KAFIRS.

THE CHOLERA. -- 4 ,-- (Frem the Board et Reekth.) NEWCASTLE. DIATIN.-811M. 28. Cholera Diarrheas _ 20 The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle daring the present outbreak has been 1,301. In the same period (viz., the first 28 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the number of deaths was 210. - i i i - 77 27: Cholera - 18 Diarrhoea The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhma in Gateshead to the present date has been 347. During the like period (via., the first 21 days) in 1831-2 the deaths amounted to 134. At the instance of the Inspectors of the General Board of Health the exercise of a power, under a local act, for " Closing Houses unfit for human habitation," has been strongly urged, and in several instances orders for closing has been given. The following are examples of the sort of houses closed: liOttil 121 PANDOX-1311111T.—Uneven damp brisk floor, walls dirty and wet through ; a low how, built round on three sides by lofty warehouses, rendering ventilation ins possible ; incapable of being made dry without being en tirely re-built. Medical evidence of two phyidase that the bore was decidedly unwholesome and twat fsr human habitation. As the owner said that he had already closed the house he was not Sad the costs, but wee informed that he would be lined 10e. per day if he re-opened it. MITCHESON'S-BUILDINOS, LINI•BTRIENT. Built up against the back of another house ; external walls only 9 inches thick. No veatilation possible ; always reeking with wet. LINEETRIST, "LITTLE DVELIN."—Thrie other houses, built into a hili side (clay) ; always wet. The walls so plastic that a walking stick run into them stands out hori zontally. - - - - Mr. Lee, one of the engineering inspectors of the general board, has been for several days engaged in the examination of the worst parts of the town, with the view of advising the local authorities onimme diate works or means of mitigation for rendering parts of it habitable. His reports were adopted by the health committee. The noxious influence of the atmosphere at New castle and the neighbourhood has been exemplified in its effect on the body of medical visitors, on all of whom it produced simultaneously unusual physical and mental depression, and entire loss of appetite. Two have been obliged to leave, in consequence of attacks of diarrhcea, accompanied with cramps. They describe the atmosphere as being heavy, thick, and misty, giving to distant objects the appearance of being seen through muslin; and they describe the plague of flies with which the district is visited as greatly adding to the impurity of the air, and the discomfort of the people. In the lowest and most affected districts, the visitors met with cholera corpses in groups of twos and threes; yet in some of the houses in which death has been most busy, the survivors remained, in spite of all exhortation, in a state of constant intoxication, refusing all visi tation and medicine. LONDON. Dr. Melroy, Medical Superintending Inspector to the General Board of Health, has recently, in com pany with Richard Hall, Esq., the Poor-law Inspector, Oiad interviews with the boards of guardians of several of the metropolitan unions in relation to the
