Earl Spencer, K.G., was in the chair, and aft the principal persons connected with the association were present. The address having been parented by Earl Spencer, Lord fiche returned thanks at some length and in con clusion proposed three choirs for Lord and Lady Spencer, three cheers for the association, one for better weather, and one for the Belgians, all of which were most heartily given. _ _ .

It is moat desirable that each volunteerabould have a cloak, cape, or great coat. Uniformity of pattern as regards these get manta may be dispensed with en this occasion, provided they are folded neatly, and carded in the sates way throughout each corps.

When a core arrives within 101 yards of the railway sta tion its band must cease playing. It With a view to avoid contusion at the metropolitan rail way stations, a corps is not on any :Account to approach within 100 yards of the station unless It is properly told off, and pre pared to enter the carriages on reaching the platform in regular military formation ; neither is a corps to attempt to enter the station should it arrive there while another corps is engaged in entering.

VIENNA, Jrty IS, Evrstirc, In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath, a debate took place upon a motion for an address to the Emperor, praying for the forma tion of a complete ministry for the western half of the empire. Baron von bust declared that the desire for such a ministry was perfectly just, but that at the present moment a change in the exist ing provisional government might obstruct the settlement with Hungary. When the delegates from both portions of the empire had terminated their negotiations, the proposed ministry would then be formed from the majority of the house. A long and animated debate ensued, and the motion, which was opposed by the Tyrolese, Galician, and Sclavonian members, was finally withdrawn. In the Upper House of the Diet the bill on ministerial responsibility was brought up from the Lower House, with some unimportant modifications. The Upper House elected five members to settle the points of dis agreement with the Lower House. ITALY. FLORENCE, Jost 18.

THE CITY ENTERTAINMENT TO THE SULTAN. The preparations made for the reception of the Sultan at Guildhall last evening were equal to an occasion which was great and interesting. Having once resolved to invite the Sovereign of Turkey into the City, it was determined to do the utmost to give him a worthy welcome. The Corporation did their utmost, and their welcome was worthy. The inhabitants of the metropolis were delighted to behold a revival of state entries into the City ; and the novelty of closing up some of the leading thoroughfares for festive requirements was once more experienced. At four in the afternoon Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's-churchyard, Cheapside, the Poultry, and approaches were closed and guarded by vigi lant policemen, whose time was fully occupied in preventing obstinate drivers from breaking the published rules. And to say that the traffic of London was diverted is to say that there were numerous obstructions and incoveniences until the pageant was over. Crowds of persons lined the way from Buckingham Palace, Cheapside being especially thronged. No vehicles but the carriages of guests and her Majesty's mails, which were pretty numerous about six o'clock, were allowed to appear in the prohibited streets. The Sultan, with a full suite, left Buckingham Palace at half-past six o'clock in several state carrriages, and proceeded through the Strand to Guildhall. In the park and streets loud cheers marked the program of the cortege, and Turkish flags and colours, side by side with the Union Jack, might be seen here and there suspended across the street. An escort of Life Guards (Blues) accompanied his Majesty. The Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, also escorted by Life Guards, and in a string 0: state carriages, proceeded previously to the City, leading many of the spectators to imagine that the Sultan had passed. Guests began to arrive soon after four o'clock,ard by fivenearly half of the3,oooexpected had been set down at the entrance. Some of them went at once into Guildhall., while others took up positions in the reception-ball, quite willing to wait for three hours for the chance of being in close quarters with the Sultan and other notabilities. Gentlemen with long white wands, tipped with golden crescents and stars, glided about giving directions ; others in uniforms of divers descriptions came with clanking swords across the floor tote announced in stentorian tones by Mr. Harker; ladies chattered and were gracious and pleased at all around,whilework men put finishing touches to the preparations. The reception-hall soon became filled, and the white wands had to make and keep a clear from the door to Guildhall. At six o'clock of the guests showed symptoms of being tired, and the arrivals of Lord Stanley, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Mr. Disraeli, Earl Russell, and other celebrities, became matters of lively in terest Faint cheers were given to a few of the guests; and in the case of the Earl and Countess Russell the cheers were very general. I The company came fast and thick just about six o'clock, for between that hour and the arrival of the Sultan no carriage was to enter King-atreet. It was in truth a memorable thing to see the brilliantly dressed throng within and the uniforms without, and to catch a glimpse of crowds of the public all eager for the appearance of the chief guests. By-and-by a band outside struck up the National Anthem, and the cry was " They come, they come." It was a false alarm, however, and the occupants of the reception-hall relapsed into re signation. There was nothing for it but to wait; the announcement of an earl no longer caused ladies to leap into their chairs ; baronets passed without notice ; members of parliament were at a discount. In the distance the National Anthem was again heard, then the cheers of people in Cheapside and King-street, then a band nearer Guildhall took up the air, and then the good 'humoured countenance of the Duke of Cambridge appeared. He entered, followed by Prince Took and Princess Teck, while the royal heralds, Godfrey'. Coldstream band within, and another band immediately without, produced a fine discord by playing all at once. Prince= Mary, as the guests would persist in call ing her, and her handsome, frank-looking husband, both here and subsequently, were more loudly cheered than any of the distinguished visitors. A few minutes later the royal liveries were again outside, this time the arrivals being a number of the Sultan's suite. The Lord Mayor and his officers, who had been stationed inside the door for some time receiving the plaits ? conducted these gentlemen into Guildhall to wait for their royal master. At seven o'clock there was a re newal of the previous excitement, and the Lord Mayor and other representatives of the corporation received the Prince of Wales, Princess Louis of Hesse, Prince Louis of Hesse, Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz. They were cheered as they passed in at the rear of the civic procession. About a quarter peat seven the Sultan, with a large retinue, arrived amidst much cheering and music, the Life Guards galloping off down a aide street without halting. The Lord Mayor received his Majesty inside the hall, and a deputation appointed by the corpora tion, consisting of six commoners, the town clerk and sheriffs, Deputy Fry (the chairman of com mittee), Aldermen Copeland and Wilson, the Re corder, and Aldermen Besley and Lawrence. fol lowed by the sword and mace, preceded the Lord Mayor and the royal guest into Guildhall. All the chief personages upon their arrival were conducted to the end of Guildhall, where seats were reserved for them before the dais. Upon this carpeted eminence there were Owed three thrones and two velvet-cushioned chairs. Guildhall, vast as its area is, was filled by six o'clock, and from that time all who wished to obtain admission could only do so through much crushing and inconve nience. At no time could all the guests be accom modated. The best known noblemen were ap plauded as they passed to their seats. The old hall newly cleaned and decorated required no special adornments to make it grand and effective. The dais had an imposing canopy, with a conspicu ous array of crimson velvet, spangled with crescents and stars, and two elegant candelabra were added to the existing gaseliers. Beyond this, and a few growing flowers placed over each doorway, no attempt bad been made to decorate. The Prince of Wales and his royal relatives passed through the I denealy packed hall to the end, amidst general applause, and the party broke up into groups and ceemereed with some of the nobility. Everybody nee whoa the Sultan was announced, and applause spas broke forth. The Sultan seated himself on the centre throne, and the Lord Mayor, after a brief pause, on behalf of the corporation, pre sented the following address We, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commoners of the City of London, in common council assembled, desire to offer to your Imperial Majesty the tribute of our sincere =‘;tln common with the people of this country, we and cordially welcome to our shores the sovereign of • great empire, with which this nation has long been in don alliance, and in whose continued prosperity we take the deepest interest. We rejoice, too t to see in your Imperial Majesty an enlightened sovereign who unites to • arm attachment to his owe faith the des ire to afford to all his subjects the free exercise of their religion. We are anxious to recognise the honour conferred upon ourancient City by the visit of your Imperial Majesty on this the Hid occasion on which yes or any of your predecessors have elided the kingdoms of the west, and we Mud that the effect of this visit may be to strengthen the relations which have so long subsisted between this country sal the Ottoman empire. This address was inscribed upon parchment, and enclosed in a valuable and beautifully-worked gold casket, manufactured by Messrs. Howell and James, and warmly approved of by the Queen when she inspected it. The Sultan having had the address mad to him, the following reply from his Imperial Majesty was read to the Lord Mayor, as the representative of the corporation : _ . _ I aim:twoly thank the Lord Mayor,Aldermen, and Commons of this great and noble City of London. lam happy to proclaim the gratitude which I feel for the cordial and hearty reception I bare met with from your gra cious Queen ! my august ally, as well as from his Royal • hness the Prince of Wales and the great English nation. have two objects in view in visiting thin and other parts of Europe—one, to see in these centres of civilisation what still remains to be done in my own country to complete the work which we have begun ; the other, to show my desire to establish, not only among my own subjects, but between my people and the other nations of Europe, that feeling of brotherhood which is the foundation of human progress and the glory of our age. Alderman Copeland, Alderman Wilson, the senior alderman, and others, having been presented, the Sultan seated himself on the centre throne, with the Prince of Wales to the right, the Lord Mayor to the left, and the Lady Mayoress and Princess Louis of Hesse in the end chairs. There was a large space beneath the dais. Several hundreds of the general aompany were seated, but an equal number had to stand and submit to a continual crushing that must have sadly interfered with the subse quent enjoyment of at least two-thirds of the audience during the concert that followed. The Sultan did not appear entranced with the music, but looked really as if he were being somewhat bored. The audience also seemed listless, ap plauded but faintly, and talked incessantly, partly no doubt from the confusion arising from the hustlers and hustled. After the concert, the Sultan and a few of his suite retired for a quarter of an hour, sad then re turning, a procession was formed from the dais to the Council Chamber, where a magnificently served supper was partaken of. About W select guests were invited. The other guests meanwhile supped in several rooms set apart for the purpose in different parts of the building. Food, wines, and fruit were plen tiful, and of the best description, and, with the exception of the crowding, the arrangements of every part of the entertainment— which was one of the grandest of the kind given in the City for many years—were excellent. The lobbies were so many cool grota, with fountains playing, and perfumes filling the air. Choice plants and flowers were scattered in profusion, and the general effect of all was heightened by being lighted up with wax candles made specially of red, white, and green tints by Messrs. Whitmore and Craddock, Bishops gate-street. The Sultan left shortly before 11 o'clock, and re turned to Buckingham Palace as he came, and the other royal guests left shortly after. A ball then took place in Guildhall. The guests numbered about 3,000. THE BALL TO THE BELGIANS AT THE AGRICULTURAL-BALL. Of all the entertainments prepared for the honour and amusement of our Belgian guests the most complete and successful has been the ball which ' was given last night at the Agricultural-hall, Islington. The building itself—admirably adapted by its size and shape to such a demonstration—had been so lavishly and skilfully decorated as to trans form it into one of the handsomest of ball-rooms. The presence of the Prince of Wales, the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, the Duke of Cam bridge, and Prince Teck, added dignity to the occasion, and gave the festivities a national and royal ch aracter, which could not fail greatly to enhance their importance in the eyes of our visitors ; while the general character of the gather ing, including some of the noblest of the aristocracy, and not rejecting humbler persons who have no pretensions to be among that mysterious number " the upper ten," must have amply proved to the Belgians—if any such proof was needed—the hearty and genuine interest which is felt in themselves and their country by all classes of the English people. The transformation which had been worked in the appearance of the interior of the hall was almost marvellous. The dull cold walls were con cealed by white hangings enriched with lace, or relieved by festoons of flowers ; the hard lines of the aisles and galleries were covered by elaborate wreaths ; the ordinary dull metallic hue of the prin cipal parts of the structure had been superseded by a mixture of white and gold ; and the presence of rch curtains, banks of flowers, old armour, gay banners, innumerable chandeliers, and splendid transparencies, gave an entirely novel and even magnificent appearance to the Temple of Agri culture upon Islington-green. The Mean. Defies had exerted themselves to the utmost, and the result of their labours was more than satis factory—it was complete and perfect in every respect. The dais which had been prepared for the reception of the Praia) of Wales and other illus trious visitors was placed in the centre of the great orchestra, and being elevated some seven or eight feet above the level of the floor, commanded a coup crcril of the whole interior. This royal dais was not the least important part of the decora tions. The canopy was of polished maple, draped with crimson satin relieved with hangings of bul lion, and was surmounted with a handsome but not ponderous gilt cornice, bearing in the centre the Prince of Wales' feather, in crystal. The floor was covered with a crimson carpet, and the gilt and while chairs which were provided for the use of its distinguished occupants were covered with velvet of the same colour. The back of this platform of state was decorated with a life-sized transparency portrait of her Majesty in jewelled crystals, and similar representations of the royal arms of this country and of Belgium. Immediately beneath the portrait of the Queen was an artistically-arranged trophy fashioned out of a number of ancient arms, and taking the form o: a gigantic star, which was illuminated by the application of the lime light. The royal dais, the ohairents of which we have thus imperfectly de scribed, was embosomed in a mass of shrubs and green-house plants, which covered the remaining space of the orchestra, and whose cool green foliage threw out into b ighter and bolder relief the rich hues of the crimson hangings and the bright tints of the lighter ornaments. From this dais was of course to be obtained the most complete and cora -1 prehensive view of the ball-room, with its thousand and one adornments and at tractions. Let us for a moment imagine ourselves amongst its privileged occupants, and briefly describe the character of the scene which it commanded even while the room was empty. When it became filled with a moving crowd of brilliant uniforms and gay dresses its appearance almost defied description. The central space at the opposite or western end of the hall was occupied by a bank of plants and shrubs, some covered with the brightest bloom, and others offering to the eye a grateful relief in the cool verdure of their dark green leaves. From amongthe miniaturegrove rose the prismatic fountains of Mr. Silveater, and as the many-coloured waters rose and fell in the bright light of the chandeliers, this gracefully constructed garden might, but for the press of the crowd, and the hum of conversation around, have been mistaken for the abode of fairies, or the chosen retreat of the most favoured nymphs of the forest. Immediately behind this mimic wood—this miniature forest, with all its roughnesses shorn off to fit it for draw ing room society—and extending over the galleries themselves, rose a Doric arch in crystalglassbearing upon its face the appropriate inscription," Welcome to England." Within the tympanum of this arch were transparentportraits of the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as of the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt ; while above were two stars of the Order of the Garter, surmounted by shields of cryital t bearing the monograms of Victoria and Leopold. Extending to the right and left the side aisles of the building had been transformed into colonnades some 600 feet in length, supported on either side by about 90 pillars painted in whits and gold. [sTAMPW, It, ADDATIOLL.] These avenues or floral walks—for they were so thickly bordered with flowers along their whole length as fully to deserve that title—formed de lightful promenades on either aide of the central space which was appropriated to dancing. The ceilings hail been coloured pale blue, with panels of pink styling, and the bays were festooned with flowers interspersed with coloured lamps. Deeper within the recesses, beneath the galleries, the walls were draped in white, with a fluted ena melled cloth, while, facing each bay, were placed enormous mirrors, which reflected every feature of the scene, and the polished surfaces of which were enclosed in frames of flowers and lace ; while the intermediate spaces were occupied by shields and trophies of arms and armour. The galleries were very splendidly and appropriately adorned. The prevailing colours of the groundwork were crimson, white, and gold, which had been skilfully and tastefully applied to the generally rather ugly-looking scantling which formed the front of these balconies. The trelliswork on each side had been transformed into a profuse floral decoration, and, as though the wreaths attached to the structure were not enough, baskets filled with artificial fruits and flowers were sus pended at frequent intervals by ropes of blossoms. Along the entrance to each bay was fixed an illu minated shield, bearing the arms and device of some Eropean, Asiatic, or American nationality, and at the foot of each pillar, hard, grim, and warlike in appearance, strangely contrasting with the light, gay, and peaceful aspect of all around, stood a figure clad in real ancient armour, lent for the occasion (as were the arms employed in the con struction of the various stars, trophies, &A.) by the commandant of the Tower. The base of each pillar, below the pedestals upon which stood these threatening representations of the volunteers of the middle ages, was surrounded by embankments of flowers extending right and left to some distance. At each end of the side avenues were placed enormous mirrors, giving a perspective of I,soofeet ; and thus on every side the beauties of the scene were repeated and exaggerated by countless reflec tions. Flowers, transparencies, and arms, waving banners and glittering scutcheons, palms and ferns gently swinging in the breeze occasioned by the movements of the dancers, and sturdy men-at arms rigid and erect in their coats of complete mail, these were the materials of an almost infinitely varied decoration, and all these were blended and com bined into &graceful harmony which has rarely before been witnessed in an English ball-room. The means employed for lighting the room were as perfect as any other part of the arrangements, and the jets of innumerable chandeliers shed a brilliant bat tem pered light over the dazzling scene. About half-past 11 o'clock the dancing was tem porarily interrupted by the preparations which were made for the reception of several members of the royal fam;ly who were expected. The spectators had not long to wait before the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Teck entered the hall by the northern entrance in Barford-street, and walked round the dancing floor, upon which a narrow lane had been marked out, to the places which had been reserved for them upon the dais. Their royal highnesses, who were in full uniform, were very warmly re ceived by the companies, and graciously acknow ledged the acclamations which greeted their arrival and. the interest which was shown in their progress through the room. Shortly afterwards a cheer outside, and the striking up of the National Anthem, announced the arrival of the Prince of Wales, and his royal highness who was in the uni form of a general, entered the hall, accompanied by hissister, the PrinoessLonis of liesseand the Prince. I The reception accorded to their royal highnesses was still more cordial than that which had been accorded to their predecessors. They were received by a deputation from the committee, of which Sir T. F. Buxton and Colonel Lindsay were prominent members, and were by them escorted to the dais. As soon as they ascended the stairs, the spectators burst into a loud cheer, which their royal highnesses graciously acknowledged. The Princess Louis of Hesse remained but foe a brief period, and after sitting a short time upon the dais, left the hall, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge. The Prince of Wales and Prince Teck retained their positions until about 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, when they retired to the supper-room. Among those who had the honour of joining the royal party at supper were Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Countess of Spencer, Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury, Lord Elcho, Sir B. Phillips and Lady Phillips, M. and Madame Van de Weyer, &c. Almost immediately afterwards the general supper rooms were opened, and there was an immediate rush to the galleries. After supper dancing was resumed, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour in the morning. THE BELGIANS AND THE WINDSOR.

A MILITARY FRACAS. —A military scandal of the most piquant character cropped up at the Ferinoy Petty Sesaioos on Monday. Major Wombwell , of the 12th Lancers, had a difference with Captain Richard Morgan a few days I ago about a sum of 30a. We have two versions for this quarrel, which, we may remark, affords a most instruet've insight into the manners and habits of military men. The major had promised to subscribe 30e. to the Kilworth races, in which Captain Morgan was interested, but had for- gotten to pay. On the let July, Captain Morgan, meeting MajorWorob well in Sheriff's Hotel, Fermoy, reminded hire of is promise,hintingdelicately that it had not been performed. The major at once borrowed Mae money to discharge the debt of honour, but accompanied the proffer of liquidation hymens remarks at which the choleric captain took fire, and made use of some very forcible language. The major acted with great calmness and prndeuce. He refused to see the insult until it was made perfectly unequivocal, end then be threatened to send for his regiment. The captain treated the threat with contempt, and offered to fight the whole of the Fernley garrison, but his friend and relative , Lord Kilworth, thought of opposing the military by calling on the police. The captain me& several Dilutions to a voyage to France, which, fortunately, were not understood by Major Wombwell. After hearing the evidence for the prosecution, the magistrates committed Ceptain Morgan for a breach of the peace, accepting bail. —Cork Exami,ser.
