AL FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. —The Melbourne papers just received contain an accountof afancy ball given by the Mayor of Melbourne to Sir H. Manners Sutton, the Governor of Victoria, Lady Manners Sutton, and family, and about 1,500 of the elite of the city. Some I idea of colonial wealth and splendour may be formed from a' description of the dresses worn by some of the ladies. Mrs. Gurner, as Selika, wore a petticoat of amber cashmere enriched with silver lace, a crimson velvet bodice with a gold circle round the waist, from which depended dia monds, emeralds, and termer.; over the bodice was a royal blue satin robe trimmed with deep gold lace ; the head dress was a gold diadem with a cluster of topazes in the centre, surmounted by a bird of paradise ; a necklace of jewels was worn to match the circlet. Mrs. Butters, as The Press, wore a white satin dress on which were pri nted the first pages of all the Melbourne newspapers and periodicals, including that of an illustrated journal with j AITUE.—The LETTUCE contains an active • portrait of the governor.

The following are the chief points Of the - royal rescript read at the co.mmencemeot of the sitting : The unalterable aim of the deliberations which are about to be resumed on the basis of the last speech from the throne is the accomplishment of the union of the different parts of the monarchy and the re-establishment I: 1 the autonomous rights of Hungary. After adverting to the late war and the conclu sion of peace, the rescript points out the neceasity and urgency of a prompt settlement of internal affairs. His Majesty declares that the suspension of the deliberations of the Diet was all the more re gretted by him, as precisely at the moment of the adjournment the sub-committee of the commission on common affairs had drawn up a project which -- - recognised the principle of the royal Sanction, and which he considers as the ilea foe itn.nederstend ing on the question of the discussion and treat ment of common affairs. It a ratifying, adds the rescript, to find expressed in that project the sen timent that it is indispensable that the different countries composing the monarchy should remain united, and thus insure the existence of the whole monarchy. The rescript then states some general views for the deliberations which are about to commence. Before all the unity of the army in its direction and organisation, as well as in the principles regu lating the terms of /service and the recruitment, must be maintained. The customs, the indirect taxes, and the State monopolies must also be re gulated in accordance with uniform principles, which have yet to be laid down. An uniform treatment is not less necessary for the public debt and credit. " If," continues the royal rescript, " the Diet's deliberations result in the removal of difficulties connected with the unity of the mo narchy, which must be maintained, the wishes and demands of Hungary will also be complied with by the appointment of a responsible ministry, and by the re-establishment of the municipal autonomy. The system of the responsibility of the govern ment must be established not only in Hungary but in all parts o! the monarchy. The questions of detail, as well as the modifications to be introduced into the legislation of 1848, will be settled by means of an understanding between the responsible ministry and the Diet." In conclusion, the rescript expresses the hope that the Diet will give its serious attention to these overtures in order to hasten the establishment of a constitutional organisation. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. ATHENS, Nov. 19. The Athens journals announce that the Cretan Assembly General has addressed a note to the foreign ambassadors at Constantinople, denying the rumour of the submission of the insurgents to the Turkish authorities. The Assembly also asks that vessels should be placed at their dikiosal for the removal of non-combatants from the island. The same papers publish advices from Candia, stating that neutrality is observed by the in habitants of Sphakia, and that all persona who wish to take no part in the insurrection have taken refuge in that province. The Sphakiotes do not, however, recognise the Turkish authority, and have nut laid down their arms. The greater portion of them have pro ceeded to other provinces where the insurrection still continues. OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA IN CONSTANTINOPLE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18. The cholera, brought over from Salonica, has broken out in Pera. During the last two days most of the cases reported have proved fatal. It is officially stated that the Cretan insurrec tion is suppressed. INDIA. (Ily direct Overland Telegraph.)

Faom FLORENCE TO Roma. —We read in the Nord : "The Italie announces that in the course of next week the government will decide upon its measures re specting the various eventualities that may arise at Rome after the departure of the French troops. We learn by the same journal that communication, direct and without in terruption, between Florence and Rome will be established in the course of next month. This rather singular coinci dence may serve as a basis for the most opposite anticipa tions, among which everyone may choose that which best suits his fancy." HUMAN HAIL —Marseilles is the centre of the commerce in this commodity, which is exported ready worked up to Spain and Alpena, and imported unworked from Italy. In 1865, the importation was 17,628 kilos., and in the first nine months of the present year 11,367. An erudite gentleman states that the guild of perrtiquiers at Marseilles dates from 1696, and for a long time the number was limited. In 1760 the fraternity commenced proceedings against a certain number of hairdressers who had established them selves in the town, but their claims were rejected and the busmess from that time remained free. In 1789 these hairdressers bad multiplied conaiderably, for the coi ff ure of the period was most comeicated, and Marseilles was considered one of the first cities in France for elegance. Since then they have continually multiplied, until at present there are 397 in the town. As to the home commerce in hair, it is in the hands of four houses only, and has quintupled in the last 30 years. These firms receive altogether about 6,000 kilos. annually from Brit tany, Auvergne, and Italy. After being worked up, 3,000 are sent into the interior of France and 3,000 consumed in Marseilles. Of the latter, 2,500 are used for women's false hair, one kilogramme being sufficient for ten head dresses, which makes an annual sale of Am. These plaits, chignons, &c., last on an average three years each, which gives a number of 75,000 of the fair sex who wear false heir at Marseilles. that is to my, nearly the whole adultfeinale population of the plisse. LIEUTENANT BB.AND, R.N. TO THZ IDITOIL OP TEI 17711218. 6/14—Everyone to whom i have shown the fol lowing correspondence agrees with me in thinking that it ought to be published, with the view of showing what sort of instruments were employed by the authorities in punishing the alleged rebel lion in Jamaica. The seta of the court-martial at Morant Bay which I impugned were mainly these :—I did not complain of anything that was done before the time that Governor Eyre wrote to Mr. Oerdwell that the rebellion had been got under " long before "—in fact, before Friday, October 20, the tenth day in the history of the affair, when all shadow of -danger and excitement was utterly away. On that Friday, October 20, at d Morsnt Bay alone (exclusive of 31 executed else where), 19 were hung. The next day, Satur day, 18 were hung ; on Monday, 19, including poor Mr. Gordon. OnTuesda , 14; Wednesday,lo; Thursday, 13 ; Friday, 13 ; Saturday, 1L On the following Monday, October 30 (eighteen days after the outbreak), 12 ; on the Tuesday, 14 ; on the Wednesday, 15 ; and still later 23 more persona were hanged. Seven of them were women, although the stories of the atrocities inflicted by women at the outbreak were proved before the commission to be unfounded. It might be sup =that all the 180 persons whom Lieutenant and' his compeers were allowed to bang must at least have been guilty of some sort of con nection with the murders that had taken place. Will it be believed that except twenty-five, they were not so much as accused of having been engaged in any murder whatever, but of rebellion alone 1 Of these rebels, accused of rebellion or sedition, only three were women—Justina Taylor, Mary Anne Francis, and Letitia Geogehan. It was shown before the com mission that many of these poor wretches had been put to death under circumstances of shocking tor ture. Lieutenant Errington, who superintended 130 executions, says :—" Occasionally the sailors had to assist them to death, pulling them by the legs, or pushing the knot down closer to the neck and we are told elsewhere, though not officially, that sometimes large stones were put upon their necks, to put an end to their fearful struggles. This also ought to be noted, that on the 30th of October Governor Eyre officially proclaimed " that the wicked rebellion lately existing in certain parts of the county of Surrey had been subdued." He adds, " the cnief instigators thereof and actors therein have been visited with the punishment due to their heinous offences, and lam certified that the inhabitants of the dis tricts lately in rebellion are desirous of returning to their allegiance." Now, on and after the day of the publication of these words more than a hundred negroes were executed, of whom sixty four were executed at Morant Bay by the orders of Lieutenant Brand. And note this, that of the sixty four men hung at Morant Bay after the publication of this amnesty, forty-six were charged with rebel lion only, not with complicity in any murder. But besides all these, 202 persons were flogged at Morant Bay alone, and great numbers were also con demned to long terms of imprisonment. It has been lately stated that Lieutenant Brand has been promoted by the present Administration. I am, &c., CHARLES BUXTON. Fox Warren, Cobham, Nov. 19. LIEUTENANT BRAND, R.N., TO MR. C. BUXTON, M.P. (Private.) H.M.S. Delight, Jamaica, August 8. Sir,—Leurt mail brought me an English Standard, with a letter from yourself about your Jamaica Committee, with so many wicked and malicious lies in it, that I am forced to write you to inform yon that " a couple of young lieutenants and an ensign " did not, as you well know, and all your committee too, go on hanging any one they pleased, for I (the president) never ordered • single per- son to be brought before me for trial. My duty was to try those, and those only, who were sent for trial by my superior, end every verdict was subject to the approval and confirmation of the officer convening the court. That is the first lie. The second is, " upwards• of 200 perished by their orders alone." You may be a very fine buckra amongst the polished gentlemen at Exeter-hall who wanted Mr. Eyre sus pended " with a rope," and the old ladies of Clapham, but when you come with your peculiar little assertions in print, and such barefaced lies, too, I think it's time for the trampled worm to turn. If you have a spark of gentlemanly or generous feeling left, you will contradict your letter relative to my court, or I shall expect you to give me satisfaction in a way more suited to my taste. ; and know this, sir, that it is • damned cowardly thing for you to write officers (who did their best, and whose acts were fully approved by their superiors) down when you well know th►t they are not allowed to write to • newspaper. However, England and the Ad miralty are my judges, not Buxton and Co.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) H. BRAND. P.S.—I have written " private" on this by advice, as my friends say, " He was not ashamed to write falsehoods about the beardless boy, so he may sneak into the Ad- miralty and say he is afraid of him," but you need not be so. We have a new Admiralty, my friend. H. B. Fox Warren, Cobham, Sept. 2:IW. . _ Sir,—l have roceived your letter. It has not wholly re moved the doubt I had ventured to express, whether you ought to have been entrusted for a full month with the power of life and death over some hundreds of persons. In a postscript you inform me that you have been advised to mark your letter " private" lest I should " sneak to the Admiralty for protection" from your vengeance ! You cannot ask me to respect a mark of privacy which you yourself assure me was affixed for the express 'purpose of insulting me. Nor can you call any one a liar, coward, and sneak, and then shelter yourself by a mere dodge from the proper punishment for such a letter, viz. its publication. But, in fact, your letter is necessarily a public docu ment. You have no right to address any private communi cation to me on the subject. I Lid not mention your name in the letter to which you allude. And you write to me in answer to a public statement made by me in my public capacity in your public capacity as president of the court martial whose acts I impugned. . - Nay, your letter demands from me a public contradiction of my public statement. I am advised therefore that I have a perfect right to pub lish your letter and I intend to do so. But I will spare you this disgrace, provided that by the return mail I re ceive an ample retractation and spology.—l am, air, your obedient servant, (Signed) CHARLES BUXTON. P.S.—A colonel in the army, who is staying with me, is confident that the letter I have received is a hoax, as no officer could have written it. If so, I moat heartily apologise for a mistake so injurious to your character ass gentleman. Jainaica, Oct. 23. Sir,—Your letter, dated September 2, I received at New castle on October 9, and it only confirms my forme r opinion of your character as a gentleman. Talking so arrogantly about your public capacity is all nonsense, as you have before been told elsewhere. Supposing I and a few more got up a society, do you think I should be justified in stating and publishing false hoods about other people, and when they complained, then say Oh ! I did it in my public capacity ? Nonsense, sir, you are not a public man as far as Jamaica is concerned at all. As for your saying my letter is injurious to my character as a gentleman, it is simply an impertinence for which I shall bring you to book. Don't imagine I am afraid of the mighty Buxton who can write so cunningly and say "I never mentioned your name." Oh !it makes me ill, for I gave you credit for more pluck, Mr. Public Capacity. You may publish this too if you like, also your answer to my first, it will only be telling the world of your own cowardice, only don't clip them at all. Fair play s my motto, and true blue my colours. Please don't write any more, as lam very nervous, and you terrify ma—l am, your most obedient servant, H.

A grand banquet was given this evening in the Free Trade Hall, under Nee sunrises of .the National Reform Union, to Mr. Bright, M.P., and a nurnber of liberal members of Parliament lir. G. liPtrniest•pubsified. Covers were laid in the lerer room at lib Free Trade Hall, which was tastefully decorated, for upirds of nine hun dred guests, amongst whom were Lord Houghton, Lord Ternham, Mr. Bright, M.P., Sh F. Crossley, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Bexley, M.P., Mr. Fildes, M.P., Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., Sir John Gray, I M.P., Mr. Hadfield, M.P., Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. ' R. N. Philips, M.P., Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Sir J. I Watts, Mr. Jacob Bright, H.P., Mr. Madmen, H.P., Mr. H. F. Beaumont, M.P., Mr. W. S. Allen, M.P. Mr. Dalglish, M.P., Mr. Crum-Ewing, M.P., Mr. T. Kennedy, M.P., Mr. Hibbert, 31. P., Mr. Murphy, M.P., Mr. Platt, M.P., H-. E. Potter, M.P., Hr. Whitworth, M.P., Mr. R. Young, H.P., Hr. J. Hey wood, Mr. Wilfred Lawson, Mr. E. A. Leathern, Mr. H. Y. Thompson, Mr. H. Rawson, General Neal Dow, and a gnat number of the leading liberals of Manchester and neighbourhood. Mr. Loyard, M.P., The O'Donogbne, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., Mr. Ondow, M.P., Mr.Thontaa Csve,M.P., Mr. Neste, M.P., Mr. Stomata, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.P., I Mr. Whalley, M.P., Mr. Finlay, M.P., Mr. Brian, ILP., Mr. White, M.P., and Mr. P. A. Taylor, DIP., had as. !opted invitations, but were at the isat moment prevented fro - m attending. The usual loyal and constitutional touts were given from the aliair,and were mostenthusiaatically reapondedto. The CHAIRMAN then gave the toast of " Our Guests," and said that they were met to assert the right of the people to elect their own representatives in parliament, and to denounce the traitors who had deserted the proper cause in the day of battle, and to repeat the demand made at so many meetings for the representation of num bers, sobriety, and intelligence, instead of exclusiveness, rottenness, and corruption. Lord HOUGHTON said that when he was honoured with as invitation to that magnificent banquet he reflected that only at Easter last he presided over a large meeting of the artisans of Leeds to present a petition in favour of the said measure of reform. He regretted that they were obliged to meet here to-day on account of the measure of Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone not having become the law of the land. It might be said that he had no business here—but although he was only here as a peer, they were here in the indefeasible right of Englishmen to demand the political rights for others which they enjoyed for themselves, and in the consciousness that they were asking for what was just, reasonable, and politic. The question was not this or that measure of reform, but to secure an extension of the franchise which would secure their fair rights to the people. When that was secured all the rest that was essential would follow; and in so far as they had abandoned this principle, the late government had departed from a sound and statesmanlike policy. He for one could never reconcile himself to the idea of depriving any class of its political rights, for he believed that the essence of the constitution from its very beginning was that it had ad vanced with the consent and intelligence of the whole people ; but he believed that England would not maintain her position without a large extension of the represen tation of the people. Referring to one of the mottoes on the wall, " Privileges are ephemeral, the people are immortal," he said that it might be true in a political sense, but at the same time there were privileges which he would for ever uphold, which he could never forsake ; they were the privileges of the intelligent mind, and of the enlightened conscience, and, above all, the privileges of the individual pulse and the individual mind which beat in the heart of every Eng lishman. (Cheers.) Mr. HUGH MASoN proposed, and Mr. E. R. LEATHANI seconded an address to the liberal members of parliament invited to the banquet. The address was unanimously adopted. Mr. FoRsTER, M.P., who was most enthusiastically re ceived, was the first to respond. He was quite sure that his late colleague, Mr. Stansfeld, who was unable to attend through most serious indisposition, and Mr. Layard who had not returned from the continent, would regret that they had not been able to attend. As a very sub ordinate member of the late government, ho must on their behalf express their gratitude to the men of Yorkshire and Lancashire for the support which they bad accorded to the late government and its reform measure. As a member of the late government, he might regret the fate of their bill, but as a reformer he certainly could not, and the history of the future would re late, that owing to the obstructions offered to that measure they were indebted to a sound and com prehensive reform ; for this he must say, he felt that they were indebted to four men—to Lord Russell, who did not like to see his sun go down without completing his policy of reform ; to Mr. Gladstone and to Mr. Bright; and last, but not least, to Mr. Robert Lowe. (Hisses.) He hoped they would not hiss at the mention of that gentle man's name, who had done a great deal for the cause of re form, for it was his speeches that had aroused the working dwell from their apathy, and enlisted them one and all in the cause of reform. (Cheers.) They must not, however, think that the bat de was over—they had hard work still to do; their opponents were more determined than ever to op pose them, and they must not relax their endeavours. (A Voice : "We are ready for them.") Yes ; but they must keep ready, and not allow themselves to be surprised. He felt that just now the conservatives were suspiciously loud in their confessions of liberalism, and that any bill • conservative government would propose would be • con servative measure. When he said this he meant in a party or class sense, for he was moat sincerely of opinion that a real reform bill which practically met the wants of the age yenta be moat essentially a conservative reform bill. This being the ease they must still be on their guard ; for whilst they were perfectly right in giving to any measure proposal by the present government a fair and candid consideration, they must be on the watch, and not be caught by a plausible measure, which although giving a considerable extension of the suffrage might neutralise it by specious checks, and by manipulating the groups of boroughs and the area of the county constituen cies make matters much worse than they now were. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT, who on rising was received with several rounds of cheering, proceeded to state that he had felt in the presence of so many leading men more as a spectator than a prominent a:tor in the proceedings. The taunt which was so repeatedly heard last session that the work ing class was perfectly contented with its position had, he supposed, now been sufficiently repelled. Their opponents now said that the middle classes stood aloof, but it would be impossible in any town in the kingdom to assemble on a platform • larger amount of what was called respectability and station than was collected at Birmingham and there. It was just now the fashion to flatter and court the middle dares in order to get them to take no part in a measure which would admit the working men to the suffrage ; but there was no greater fallacy than that the middle classes are in the possession of political power. Out of every hundred men liable to taxes only sixteen in the United Kingdom enjoy the fran chise ; and could these sixteen be said to include all the middle classes! The working classes were insulted and the middle classes defrauded. When I look (continued the bon. gentleman) at the great middle classes of this country and see all that it has done, and the political position in which it has been to some extent allowed to rest, I cannot help saying that it reminds me very much of the language which the ancient Hebrew patriarch addressed to one of his sons ; be said, " Issachar is a strong an.—(great laughter)—arouching down between two burdens." (Laugh ter.) So on the one side there is • burden of 7i millions of pounds per annum raised by way of taxes to keep from starvation more than one million two hundred thousand paupers within the united kingdom, and on the othe r hand, and higher up in the scale, there is mismanagement the most pow, there is extravagance the most reckless, and there :is waste the most appalling and dis graceful which hes ever been seen in governments of any counts7--(ebeers}—and the greed result of this is a system whisk systematically shuts out the million a , and which cajoles the middle classes by the hone poems of • parliamentary government. (Laughter and cheers.) I am delighted beyond measure, after many years of discoidal, of contemplation, and of labour in connexion with this great question, to believe that the great bed 7 of the people, cell than middle class, or sell them working clue, are resolved that this state of thiap shall exist no longer. (Cheers.) Daring the last session of parliament there was made by an honest government as honest attempt to tinker the existing system ; for after all the bill of last ession—honest, and well intended, and valuable as it was—was still but • tinkering of a very bed system—llanghter)—but the tory party refused even to have it tinkered. (Laughter end cheers.) They remind ' I me very much of • wealthy but a most penurious old gen then= who lived some years ago in my neighbourhood s and who objected, among other expenses, very mush to a toilor's MU. He said b; had found out UNA 1; halo would last longer than a patch. (Great laughter.) I am not sure that that is not the faith of Lord Derby sad his friends, for it was owe of their great arguments that if the bill of the government passed it would inevitably follow that something n.ore would almost immediately be demanded. They were so anxious that things should re main as they are that they refused to admit 200,000 more of the middle class by the lowering of the oounty fran chise ; and they refused with equal, perhaps with greater, pertinacity to admit 200,000—but as I believe not mu* more than 100,000—men to electoral rights. They would net suppress nor allow the suppression of a single rotten borough ; in fact, there was no abuse however intolerable, however putrid, to which they would allow the legislative reforming knife to be applied. They being thus determined to keep things just as they were, we were obliged, to our great midortune, last session to contend so much with them ; and now they are in office they sail themselves her Majesty . ; servants, but they have not yet dared to proclaim themselves the accepted servants of the people. (Cheers.) Some of their papers, and some papa• which are not theirs, give us to understand—for the newa. papers are always understanding a great many things of which they know nothing—they give us to understand that the cabinet meetings which have been held during the last fortnight have landed ns in this strange position, that the mm against all reform six month, ago are now warmly engaged in concocting • measure which shall be satisfac tory to the great body of the reformers of the country. (Cheers.) Now my opinion is this. First. That the papers know nothing about it ; and secondly, that the government —we are obliged to call them the government—has notmede ' up its mind whether to bring in a reform bill or not. In point of fact, Lord Derby is waiting to see what the weather will be, and I suppose they will postpone the decision perhaps for some weeks to come. Who knows! They may wait till this day fortnight, or yesterday fort night. On Monday, the 3rd December, it is said that, following the example of Birmingham, of the West Riding, of Glasgow, and Manchester, and Dublin, the men con nected with the trades of London will make what they call a demonstration : that is, on behalf of this question of reform they will assemble, and peacefully walk through some of the main streets of the west end of London, for the purpose of showing that they take an interest in this great question. (Cheers.) I know nothing of the !arrange ments except what I see in the newspapers, but it is said that more than 1,000,000 have arranged to walk in that procession. I hear, from no mean authority, that certain persons at the West-end, attenders at the clubs, and so on, are getting up a little alarm at what may happen on the 3rd of December. What will happen we all know. If the police do not interrupt to break the peace— (cheers)—the peace will not be broken ; and probably what happened on the last occasion may be of some use in teaching the Home Secretary his duty on this occasion. (Cheers.) There are some persons, doubtless, so credulous, and so willing to wish well of everybody, as to imagine that Lord Derby's government will bring in a satisfactory Reform Bill. They say that Sir Robert l'eel and the Duke of Wellington passed Catholic Emancipation—that Sir Robert Peel repealed the corn laws, and why should not Lord Derby pass a Reform Bill! Lord Derby is neither the Duke of Wellington nor Sir Robert Peel (Cheers and laughter.) He left both those statesmen in 1846 rather than unite with them to repeal the corn laws, and he has never shown from that hour to this one atom of statesmanship, or one spark of patriotism that leads us to expect that on this occasion be will turn round, and, neglecting his party, do something for his country. (Hear, and cheers.) My opinion may be no better than that of other men : this, however, may be good advice—all reformers should be on the watch. (Cheers.) There are enemies enough, and false friends enough, to convince na that our cause is by no means out of danger. But the next bill— what must it be! I wish I could hope that it would be as good as the but ; but one thing I think we have a right to insist upon—that the next bill which is introduced by a reform government should be, in regard to its suffrage, based on the ancient franchise of the country. (Hear, hear.) Household or rating franchise has existed for centuries in our parishes ; it has existed for many years in our municipal corporations ; it has never been found in our parishes or corporations to be destructive to the inte rests of those districts. I my, therefore, we ought to stand upon our ancient institutions. Earl Russell wag in favour of extending the borough franchise down to the mu nicipal franchise, &WILL Gladstone approved of sucha mea sure. We know that the late Attorney-General, one of the most eminent members of the House of Commons, openly expressed himself in favour of that change. I believe the liberal portion of the middle class would have no objec tion to see the franchise entrusted to all householders in the boroughs. I believe if it were so extended we should arrive at a point at which, so long at any rate as any of us are permitted to meddle iu the policy of our country, no further change would be demanded. (Cheers.) I therefore am entirely in favour of it, because I believe it to be wise in itself, and because it is the ancient borough franchise of the kingdom. lam in favour of the con stitution ; I would stand by it whenever it of fered guarantees for freedom; I wouhl march in it i track; that track is so plain that the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. I would be guided by its lights they have been kept burning by great men amongst our forefathers from generation to generation ; our only safety in this warfare is in adhering to the ancient and noble con stitution of our country, and when we have restored it to its ancient power, and invited the great body of the peop . e to take part in political power, then the House of Commons will be the servant of the nation, and not its master, and it will do the bidding, not of a small and limited—often an ignorant, necessarily a selfish, class—but the bidding of a great and noble people. (Loud and protracted cheering, amid which the honourable gentleman rammed his seat, having spoken for upwards of au hour.) Sir John Gray, M.P., Mr. Baines. M.P., Mr. Maclaren, M.P., and Mr. Ayrton, M.P., also replied to the toast. Sir F. CaosSLET, M.P., proposed the toast of " the Ladies," to which Mr. 11.21111 T TROMP:NON responded. On the motion of Mr. Ttiomaia BA7-I.ev, M.P., seconded by Mr. °item, M.P., a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and briefly acknowledged. The banquet, which was most elaborately and eflisiently conducted, terminated at a very late hour. MR.
