We have always been most anxious to proceed with the public business, as the minutes - of the Combined Court will prove. It will be seen that on the 16th Jan. 1848, the Com bined Court extended the tax ordinanee, which would have upired as the 30th Jun, to the 110th Sept. following, in the coofident expectation that the representations which had been made would have instead the Secretary of State for the Co. looks to sanction a redeetien of tie civil list; but instead of this, Lard Grey, in his despatch of 17th June, instructs the Lieatenant-Cloverner sot to give his assent to the renewal of the tax ordinance, unless passed for the re. mainder of the financial year, which would expire on the 30th June, 1849 ; and he reiterates this instruction in his despatch of the 16th August following. It has been the right honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonise who has stopped the supplies, and prevented us from proceeding with the estimate. - . On the 20th July, 184% a vote was taken on the Inn item of the estimate, and canted by a majority, reducing the *nil list from 39,0721. to 28,072 L ; the Combined Court was then adjourned eine eke; it was subsequently mumbled by Licutenuit Governor Walker, on the 25th September, 1548, and 22nd January, 1849, but however without trans setieg any business; Lord Grey rill nfueiog to Eaten to our representations, although he had yielded to the colony of Trinidad that which he had denied to British Guiana, thus evincing a spirit of hostility to this colony unprecedented in the records of the Colonial-office. We meet solemnly affirm that all the loess which have taken place, and all the evils that may follow from the stoppage of the supplies, are attributable solely to the conduct of Lord Grey, and on him the sole responsibility must rest. Sine an ultimate appeal to the Imperial Parliament is threatened, it is only to be regretted that each wee not made at an earlier period, seeing that the petition assumed by the Combined Court was the same several months ago as it is now. The Inhabitants of this colony have forwarded peti tions to both houses of parliament, setting forth their griev ances, sad praying for redress, and we rely on Justice being If na. If the power of setting maids the civil list ordinance can be eoaferna by an order in council, then the ground, that the dismiss of the civil lilt would be an invasion of individual /10111.011 Si MINI abandoned.

The visitors amounted to upwards of 330 persons. The cloth having been removed, and grace chanted by the professional singers engaged far the occasion, The LORD MAYOR rose and said—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—This is one of the ancient festivals of the chief magistracy of the city of London, and in proposing to you the health of her most gracious Majesty the Queen, I am anxious to express the great satisfaction we feel that, not withstanding the changes which have taken place in every country in Europe except our own during the last eventful year, we continue to live happily and prosperously under our free institutions with that feeling of attachment and affection TO OUT moat gracious avers which whieh she so well deserves. I co am pore you will cordially oia with me in drinking the health of her most gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and may she long live to rule over these kingdoms end in the enjoyment of the love and affection of a happy a nd prosperous people. The toast was drank with the usual loyal honours, and was followed be the national anthem. The LORD MAYOR—I have now to give you the health of her Majesty the Qui en Dowager, who so justly enjoys the respect and goodwill of all dames of the people of this , country. The health was duly responded to. Glee--" By than Rivers.' The LORD MAYOR then proposed "The Health of Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," which wee duly responded to. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Army and Navy," and expressed his satisfaction at being surrounded by so many members of the two senior. General Sir W. BROTHIRTOIT returned thanks for the army, sad Admiral the Marquis of TBOTIOTTD for the navy. The LORD MAYOR—It is one of the advantages of the official positkia I have the hoaour to hold that it enables me to assemble around us in this hall the eminent and distin guished met of all nations and of all services ; and I am sure that the slams of London are never more pleased than when their Lord Mayor has the opportunity of entertaining at the hospitable hoard the representatives of those foreign countries with whisk we an on terms of friendship and al liana. On the present occasion we have the happiness toss present mewl us his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador and the Demi* Minister. lam sorry that, owing to iodise position, we as. deprived of the pleasure of the presenoe of kis Exeslieney Admiral Cecile (the French ambassador). I regret this the more became I am sore the citizens of Lon don would have rejoiced in the opportunity of assuring the French ambassador how much they were gratified by the kindly feelings which have sprung up between the two countries, and that we hail the appointment of his excellency, who is so well known to have the most friendly feelings to wards this country, se a proof of the desire on the part of the President of the Fresteh republic to cultivate the most friendly relations with this country. I beg to assure my illus. trious friend oat my right (the Turkish ambanador), who has but recently come among us, that he comes hers with the most cordial welcome, and that, while the people of this country remain contented and happy under their own free and liberal institutions, they are at all time anxious to prove their respect and esteem for the ministers of tier foreign states with whom our commercial or political relations may bring us in communication with. I have gnat pleasure in proposing to you " The Diplomatic Body," sad "The health of the Turkish Ambassador and the Danish Minister." The toast was drank with applause. Hie Excellency the TURKISH AMBASSADOR returned thanks, and expressed the great pleasure which his govern ment derived from its close and cordial alliance with Great Britain, en alliance which he believed to be for the benefit of both countries, and which intrusted would never be severed. The LORD MAYOR—Although polities are carefully and properly excluded on these occasions, I am most anxious to pay a mark of our respect to her Ma jesty's government. It appears to me that the City of London ought more espe cially to be gratified at having the opportunity of drinking the health of that government, seeing that we have the honour of having as our representative in parliament the prime minister. (Cheers.) Without asking you to give your adherence, to the views or the *alone of the present minis try, I think it must be adutiMid, sot only by the citizens of deat by the country at large, that never was there • government which took on themselves the administration of me affairs of thisgrest country in times of greater peril or diffi culty; and I may venture to add, that never was there • government who, under sash peril and difficulty, more effectually preserved the national honour abroad, or the peace sad tranquillity of the country at home. It is true we us net honoured to day with the presence of any somber of Ike cabinet; and when we consider the arduous Sods of die esvenl members of the government, and their laborious reteadance in parliament, I am sure you will all be woody to make allowances for their absence. But though we have no cabinet minister present, we hate the honour of goof's a member of the government here, to whom I am especially pleased, under the circumstances of his present position, that we have the opportunity of paying a mark of respect i . I refer to a gentleman who km filled ma arduous te dilotalt re duty, and who is now about, at her Majesty's command, to take on himself • still higher and more impor tant office. Whether we regard the conduct of that hes. gentleman as an eloquent and ihdemndent member of par liament, or as • enrol, efficient, and indefatigable secretary of a most important branch of the public service, I am ears all present will concur with me when I my, that no one on leaven this country ean cony with bin awe hearty and a wishes for future surer from these who know him, or more of public approbation for ar ts g r r esniset. than that hon gentleman. It is peculiarly t o se te have this opportunity of speaking en the modest . Weed, beanies we have seen him in a somewhat /slob and Mink posi tion in reference to the City el Lear, bet a petition is which his conduct had leis on the mark of the Mtness the most grateftil impression. I give yen " Her Illsintra Mar torn and Mr. Ward." The to was given with three dam these. Mr. WARD, M.P., said—My lord, and ladies and gentle men, I thank you most sincerely for the kindness which dictated this toast, and for the cordiality with which it has been responded to. I beg you will excess me for the inade quate way in which I express my gratitude for the honour, fir little did I exposit that so saboraaate • member of Lord ISbn Russell's government would be called upon to return thanks for bar Itsjosty's ministers ; still less did I think my very humble services would have led to a flattering an allu sion to my probable coadoct in • position in which, however prematurely, report has circulated through the town that I have been_ appointed to, has not received that offtaial sanction which entitles me to s peak of that appointment as certain. You , my Lord Mayor,have accounted is a fair and proper manner for the absence of the members of the cabinet, who mig h t, but for the reasons you have allude d te, have been present tOrettun thanks for the kindness which has prompted the tout which yon have given, and have expressed their gratitude that the policy they have pursued and manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the country during &trying and aided period have given general satisfaction to the enlaces of L,ndoa. On an occasion like this, when politics an minded, I may not say mon than that I believe there was a period when the power of the executive was exercised with more firmness and vigour, and at the same time with more farms' and gentleness than during the put year in which we saw ell Europe shattered to bus and all existing institutions overturned except in our own I:ad, where, happily we had forestalled revolution by timely improvements sad ' temperate and useful reforms. Them are the only changes we have witnessed in this coun try. It is not for the governmeat to hurry rashly ahead la carrying out reforms, but to follew public opinion when calmly and deliberately expressed. (Hear, hear.) I will not detain you longer but to return lily thanks for the honour you have done her Majesty's ministers and me, and to add my hope that if, in the subudinate stati.in in that ministry which I have filled for the last three years I have not laboured altogether uselessly, and if I have promoted in any way the welfare and effidency et the navy, I shall be equally successful in the position I am about to fill. The LORD MAYOR, then proposed " The House of Peers," uniting with the toast the healths of the Marquis of Ereadalbane, Earl Waldegrave. and the Earl of Cardigan. The Marquis of BREADALBANB returned thanks, and proposed the health of the Lady Mayoress. The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the toast, and after wards gave the Church of England, coupling with it the health of the Bishop of Lichfield and the Dean of West minster, thanking the energy generally for their exertious in the cause of charity, and the Bishop of Lichfield in particu lar, for his admirable hospital sermon at Christchurch that aserniag. The Bishop of LICHFIELD begged to thank them for the honour they had done the church through him, its un worthy minister. He could wish that the church had • more able representative to do justice to it on that occasion, but happily the church of lingland did net rely on its repre sentatives or its advocates, but on itself. He rejoiced to see the church honoured on such occasions—for it deserved to be __ for its establishments and endowments, but for the great and inestimable services it rendered to the community at large—even to those who, in the oonscien- Hosts exercise of that religious liberty which in this country all enjoyed, were separated from it. He rejoiced to see the church honoured there, for he assured them that the cordial so-operation of the citizens of London and those who admi nistered its affairs in the exertions of the ministers of that church was one of the most powerful instruments for good which this country possessed. The next toasts were " The Judge," end " The members of the House of Commons," which were duly responded to by Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Bernal, M.P. The LORD MAYOR then said : I am honoured to-day with the company of one who has long enjoyed the confidence of his sovereign, while representing the interests of this orantry at a foreign court. I need not advert to the circum stances under which he returns to us, further then to say that he comes here with his character unsullied, and that he mid enjoys the respect and esteem of the community gene rally. He is now about to proceed, as the representative of her Majesty, on another most important mission, and it is gratifying to me that we have the opportunity of assuring hint most cordially that he carries with him not only the good wishes, but the confidence of his countrymen. 1 beg to Rive you the health of " Sir H. L. Bulwer and the British Diplomatic Body." The tout was drunk with honours. ----- Sir H. L. BULWER—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, it is a well-known maxim that the best qualification for a diplomatist is silence, and, at this late hour of the evening, I shall endeavour to show that I possess that qualification by retuning my thanks in the briefest manner possible. To you, my Lord Mayor, I beg to offer my most grateful acknowledgments for proposing my health in con nexion with the profession to which I belong, and to you, ladies and gentlemen, for the cordiality with which you have joined in it. The only valuable return I can make is to promise that in whatever may be station my sovereign may be graciously pleased to confer on me I shall always bear with me the desire and determination to maintain the national honour and uphold the commercial prosperity of our common country If there be ose other return which I can make to yen, and which you may deem still more acceptable at this moment, it is that of propesing, ea I now do, the health of the distinguished lady who graces this hall by her presence today, and who sits en the right hand of his lordship. The Lord Mayor returned thanks, after which the ladies retired. The next tout was " Mr. Jones Lloyd and prosperity to the city of London," which was acknowledged by Mr. J. Lloyd. Several other Waste were given, and the company separated at a late hour. The viands, which were in every way worthy of the occa sion, were supplied--ea we IMO informed—by Messrs. Birch, of Cornhill. Mr. Harker performed the duties of tout master in his usual efficient style, and the musical ar rangements, which were complete, were under the direction of Mr. Jolly. EASTER ENTERTAINMENTS. According to annual custom, most of the metro politan theatres produced novelties last evening, of a class to which common consent has given the title of " Easter Pieces." Of these and the other entertain ment, both day and evening, we proceed to give some account. THE THEATRES. HAY MAIIKET. The entertainments at this theatre inat night were sufficiently multifarious to satisfy the keenest appetite of a holiday audience. There was, in the first place, the ever-popular " Brigand," in which James Wallack's unrivalled melo-dramatic acting made its usual impression, and received the usual amount of enthusiastic applause. Then followed the novelty of the evening, a new and original classical extravaganza called " The Sphinx," by the authors of " Camarallusen and Badoura," "The Enchanted Isle," and other productions of • similar class. These burlesques of classical or romantic sub jects were first brought into vogue at the Olympic in the days of Madam* Vestris's management, where they became very popular from their liveliness ono wit—their neatness of construction, and the elegance with which they were got up . Their novel character, to*, added to their attraction. But of late this kind of entertainment has been much overdone. Clerical burlesques have become so common, and are so uniform in their cons'ruction end treatment, that their sameness becomes not a little wearisome even whoa they are clever and ingenious. The " Sphinx" is cast in the same mould as many of its predecessors, and its amusement lies in the contrast between the poetical character of the mythological subject end the manner of its treatment—the doggrel thymus, slipalop phra seology, Lludicrons images, extravagant nonsense, and un bridled buffoonery in which both dramatists and actors in dulge, seasoned will smut and satirical allusions to the pas sing follies of the day. The king and parliament of Thebes are discovered in debate on the alarming state of the country ; the population being ravaged by a terrible monster, the Seins, wlso,after catching his tnctinsa,propounds to them an enigma, and on their "giving it up," has them forthwith dressed for his dinner or supper. The hand of the king's daughter is offered u a reward to the champion who shall deliver the land from the Sphinx; and the achievement is undertaken and accomplished by (Eclipse, King of Corinth, who conquers the monster by resolving one of his enigmas. Keeleycertainly makes the Sphinx a most grotesque person age. He appears made of stone, but with active movements, and seizes his prey with a gripe like that of the statue in " Don OiovanaL' The riddles he propounds with ineffable gravity are the commoaest Joe Millers, His lest, put to his adversary (Eclipse, is, " What is the reason that people go to bed ' sad the answer, " Because the bed cannot come to them," is the grand catastrophe of the piece. There are many hits about going to California, agricultural distress, protectionists, the ISmithfield nuisance, and en forth. some of which mimed fire, bat others were happy enough. There was a great deal of music, of a burlesque kind, damns, bat some of it very pretty and well executed. The scene in " Acia and Galatea," where the rustiest are terrified by the approach of Poyphemus, was well mimicked ; and there was an excel lent truants of the market chorus in " Idueniello." Miss Horton sane a number of amusing fragments with great beauty as well as liveliness. M. Keeley, in the character of Mercury, acted the pert of a chorus, not miming in the action, but explaining it to the audience. Her wt is more smartly written than any other portion of the puce , and she sustained it with unflagging vivacity. There was much ap plause daring the performance and at its conclusion. The next piece was Bucutone's admirable little comedy, " The ltwigh Ditiwood," in which he appeared, for the first time these two pus, in the character of Cousin Jo*, and Mrs. Fitswilliass fa that of Margery ; and last of all there will Illortaa's farm et "Lead me Five Shillings," in which Billikdelle apprized in his original character of Golightly. TM hoses was crowded. LYCEUM. Mr. Planche's cont7iou — tion to the awn of human happiness this Easter season, is in the form of a burlesque upon " The Seems Champions of Christendom." We byre some compunction at encouraging them putting to flight of the pleasant memories of our youth, but as a bur lesque, Mr. Planehe's hatable upon the subject of St. Gnome and his companions is amusing, and must be own winded acaudinaly. The dialogue is perhaps scarcely so studded with sparkling salienciss as that of former produc tions, but as it runs smoothly, so it rune pleasantly on, and every now and then there 6 a flash. Thus:Al:Ailed, Pigeon, awakenel from a Socialist dream, in expounding tl one of the champions the doctrines of his late iriends, touching pro. perty, pu the matter thus: And no man's all right Till he has nothing left. And, again. a wicked enchanter, bullying another of the Champions, tells him— You're a saucy one, But I'm a sameyrer. Tires examples, remembered at random, may be t a l us illustrating the m-ire violent vivacity of the dialogu e trLs story, it reeds not to tell—every one has in full reeollani= the adventures of the Seven Champions, and these are closely outlined in the burlesque, eseeplis ezcipiendis.`74 scenery is beautiful, and capitally managed. the effects let us not on.it to particuleriss',4l4 special laudation, that of the iiolooll, 'll,l Ol and carrying away St. Denis of France e a t Asses of Spain, with their mistrestel L . nor ht ni „,. ring to the scenery, let us omit to mention " The ishiLa7; a most gorgeous and, at the same time, exquisite sps i of see= art.

The drams of "The Hop Pickers" and the 12 1/‘ lesque of " The Enchanted Isis " commenced sad taw, sated the performances at this theatre, which was oraged in every pert. The new and lively farce of " Who lives at No. 9?" egg introduced between them, and with continued anectsg. though formed of very slight materials, and ending rot unsatisfactorily. Mr. Wright, for whoee eccentricities ftlis evidently been written, represents a fool of a husband, ft , calves and delivers to his wife, Emily, a letter from alone* lover, whom she believed to have been drowned dew., her to give it to another lady lodge r i n N o. 9, bergieg-14 same name, and for whom he supposed it wee intend edr Ise who turns out to be the lover's aunt. Before ay daimon,* takes place, and while the ticauspeehog husband is andel,. ?oaring to unravel the mystery, the curtain drops, (miss him outside to apologise as best he can to th e audience fer es midden a conclusion. STRAND. The company organised by Mr. Henry Farm for the late Olympic Theatre has reamed to the Stand Theatre, where this gentleman opened a snits of poem s . anon last evening under very favourable auspices. Ty pieces represented were none of them entirely new, tho perhaps to the majority of those pr sent they were soli effect. Mr. B. Bernard's:domestic drama" The Femme Story," was very effectively' got up, with Mr. Loi l k Murray and Mrs. Compton for the hero and his wife, spii Wears. Compton, Butler, E. Harvey, and Men Leigh Murray, for the secondary characters. Mr. H. p appeared in the last piece, Robert Macaire," which shams, was highly relished by the motley audience collected *. gether in the pit, and gallery. The whole thing is ere& able, and the addition of Mrs. Stirling to the carp ifg render it highly attractive. PRINCESS'S. ALARM OF Flng.—A new fairy extraveganskin twit 2 acts, entitled " Noareddin and the Fair Persian " wu the Easter novelty at this theatre. The gory is taken from*. well known tale of that name, in the ' Arabian Nigh,* but has been adapted to the circumstances of the present am by Mr. H. S. Edwards. Passing over the first scene, which, contrary to thegesed rule on these occasions, was anything but brilliant, sag Nerved in the present instance merely to introduce the the. ratters, scene the second opens with a variegated and stirring picture of an eastern slave market. The slave broker is la adept in his business. He brings out all the singino sad dancing qualities of his stock. The minister, who is m the market on behalf of the Sultan, his master, is quits charmed, and buys the Fair Persian for 12,000 golden peon, , In the next scene Noureddin, an " incurable ward" of*. Vizier's, falls in love with the new slave. He resolves to fly with her, which he accomplishes by means of a newly. invented steam-engine, the boiler of which is a great owpw kettle. The enraged Sultan resolves on vengeance, aM proceeds with his guards to Noureddin's palace," in which," the bill says, " there is an entire break-up." And so it happened at this very point in a more real se= than the artist thought of, for a cry was raised that one d the soma had caught fire, end a rush was instantly made from all points towards the doors. Some ladies were is frightened that they had to he borne from the boxes, whilst fright and terror were visible in the countenances of all. All the entrances were in a very short time fillea with crowded the audience, but they were soon reassured that the alma was groundless. Numbers, however, did not return. Tit performance was stopped for a considerable time, and ths occurrence cast a gloom over the remainder of the pies which all its brilliant scenery and excellent acting was not sufficient altogether to di.sipate. A portion of the many seemed to be or was actually on fire, so that the alarm ens not without some foundation, but we were informed that it was merely a portion of the scene connected with the des** tion of Aloureddin's house. We can only say for the information of those who lift, that the second act, which commenced after this alarm, is tar the best portion of the piece. The scenery in it more gorgeous, the action moves quicker, the &logien more animated than in the first act. The pavilion of dm caliph was a scene, and the pas de deuz of Mdlle. Ciultais and Mdlle. Leedercq, a performance which none would vrii to lose, and both were greatly applauded, as they d, serval* be, by that portion of the audience which remained. TM dialogue of the piece is smart and telling, and well adeyhd to an Easter; audience, but the puns were certainly "Woe par." It would be an injustice to omit eying that the pies found an admirable exponent in the person of Miss Ewe Stanley, whose action, manner, and voice were all that maid be desired on the occasion. SADLER'S WELLS. In the tragedy of" Richard HI." Mr. Phelps nutaised the part of Rickard with ability and judgment, and wu frequently applauded in the fourth, and particularly the fifth acts, whets he leads on his followers to the battle-field. Mr. G. Semen acted the Duke of Buckingham with spirit ad effect ; tel the female characters were t xtremela will supported by No Huddart, Mies Cooper, and Mrs. Brougham. The sunny was new and appropriate ; indeed, the spirited lam seemed to have lift nothing undone to merit the appronl of the public. A humorous drama, entitled The Minister of Fiance," in which Mr. Graham played the part of the Grand Dads, wound up the entertainments of the evening; and it was announced, amidst the warm approbation of the auditors, that the same play and after piece would be repeated to-night and also to-morrow night. MARYLEBONE. The Easter season was ushered in by the prods,. tion of two new_pieces—ths ono a fivessu play from ths pen of Mr. Henry Hughes, entitled "1 he Heart's Trials"—the other a species of Lyrical Burlesque fres the prolific brain of Mr. Albert Smith, entitled "Gay Fawkes ; or, a Match for a King." The Pill is of very flimsy texture. It is evenly written, bet never surpasses mediocrity. It contains no eery evident ' gaucheries, and there is nothing to offend; but at the Mall time there is nothing ennobling in sentiment, striking in inumetance, or brilliant in esprusioe, to "- commend it to an enlightened audience.
