A Te Deum was offered up yesterday morning in the cathedral of Saint Gudule by the Cardinal Arch bishop of Melines, assisted by the Bishops of Liege, Tournai, Namur, Gand, and Bruges. This state service was performed with all the pomp and splen dour of the Romish church, and may be said to conclude the inaugural ceremonies attending the accession of Leopold IL The King, dressed as yesterday, in the uniform of a general officer, and wearing the ribbon of his order, the Count de Flan dres similarly attired, thelArchduke of Austria, and the Prince of Saxe, in the white uniforms of the Austrian army, lef t the palace with their suites about mid-day, and drove direct to the cathedral. Along the Rue Royale and through the streets leading to the Place Saint Gudule, the road was thronged with an enthusiastic multitude, who (tendered their con gtatulations in the noisy and demonstrative teehion multitudes are wont to do when times are easy and monarchs are popular. The entire city is in full dress now, and this morning, as during the illuminations of last night, the uni form colour of the flags and decorations suspended from and about most windows and balconies, and the perpetual recurrence of the red, amber, and black of the Belgian tricolour, make the distinction between the forms of rejoicing need here and at i home, where a flag of every hue is held to sym bolise the feeling of the hour especially note worthy. Bouquets were thrown, and banners, with 1 1 complimentary mottoes and pious prayers in seribed on them, were waved as the royal party' passed through the crowded square to the spacious' flight of steps leading to the chief entrance to the cathedraL A apace round this was kept by a large detachment of the civic guard, and the view from it round the quaintly gabled houses, every point of which was animate with rejoicing, and crowded with life, recalled some old picture of a mediaeval pageant, or that triumphant entry of Bolingbroke which Mr. Charles Kean interpo lated between the acts of Richard IL It will be remembered that the late King Leo pold, though himself &protestant, had his children educated in the Romish faith. This was done for political reasons, sad in order that the creed of his successor might tally with that of the vast majority of the Belgian people. The ceremony of yesterday was therefore not without its special significance, and the magnificent formalities, the jewelled and mitred prelates, the solemn oblations and thanksgivings, were, it must be borne in mind, brought together and offered up, not merely for a new King, but for a true, but, as the speech to the Senate proved, a liberal and enlightened son of the church. For some hours before the time fixed for the celebration of the Te Deum, every portion of the cathedral not reserved was filled, and some priests averred in my bearing that old Saint Gudule bad never held so many people during the eight hundred years it has been open for the wor ship of God. Its nave, from the entrance-door to the iron railings of the choir, was lined by a strong body et the Civic Guard, whose uniforms and plumed hussar caps, accompanied as they were by the clank of arms, the constant rappel of drums, and the deep bass of the frequent words of com mand, looked to some eyes strangely unfamiliar in a church. From the stalls in the choir the eye rested upon a long vista of glittering bayonets, of feathers, and of bearskins, and as the orders to ground or present arms, and the signals from the bandmasters to the drummers were given simul taneouslyievery few seconds, the effect here was still more incongruous. The general public were clustered out of sight in the side aisles, where they pushed, and peeped, and struggled behind the barriers, happy indeed when by an almost super : human effort of gymnastics they succeeded in recognising a senator's decorations or an officer's plume. Carriages set down at a side door, and the embroidered and much-beribboned worshippers rapidly flocking is were marshalled to their seats in the nave or to those set apart for them in the choir, according to their rank. Four gold-chained ushers stood at the entrance to precede the more distin guished arrivals, and the regimental bandmaster, whenever he saw the officials coining, raised and lowered his silver mace with redoubled vigour, until the rata-tat-tat of the drums seemed to shake the gigantic figures of the Apostles, which dwarf the lofty pillars of the nave, and to send the old tapestry fluttering in its noisy breeze. Apart from this tapestry, which is unequalled in the world, and noble specimens of which were suspended yester day over the six arches of the choir, and apart, too, from atricoloured scroll above the high altar, bear ing as its inscription, " Deo jubilans nationis pre catur applaudens vivat rex Leopoldus," the some what cold and bare walls of Saint Gudule were undecorated. The flags and trophies of the streets were not introduced into the church, and the warmth and colouring of the vast picture its inte rior made was furnished by the human actors in it. Here there was, as at all the celebrations of the last few days—funeral, festive, or religious—a pro fusion of bright and radiant hues which was posi tively dazzling to the eye. The choir looked like a vast and gorgeous flower bed, in which the flowers had been denuded of their leaves, and the severe white of the cathedral walls made a fitting setting for the countless varieties of colour it framed in. At each side of the high altar, and within its railings, stood two canopies of crimson velvet and gold, that on the left having a large gilt crown upon its rounded summit, while the right-hand'one ter minated with some abruptness, and with its hang ings arranged in simpler fashion. The first was for the King, the second for the cardinal arch bishop, and there was ample room in each for the suite accompanying them. Immediately outside the altar railings were seated the Belgian diplo matic corps and the envoys and ambassadors from foreign courts. The variety of the bright uniforms, the number of orders, of gay shoulder knots, and shining gold ornaments, made this broad belt of diplomacy look brilliance itself. The seats to the right hand of the choir were filled, first with repre sentatives of the Assembly in evening dress, whilst on the places nearest the railings, through which the populace—more many-headed than ever — peered, stood some hundreds of white-robed ton sured priests and choristers. To the left of the choir there was, with two trivial exceptions, not a sign of anything so simple as black or white. Senators in blue and gold and parti colours, ministers of state similarly adorned, judges of the various courts in red and ermine, officers and officials in uniform, filled up this half of the choir ; and from railing to railing the only break in the all-pervading magnificence were two Englishmen, whose plain black contrasted oddly with the bright scarlet robes of the judges with w= h om one they of sat. those It is perhaps unnecessary add Englishmen was the writer of this letter. Before the occupants of the reserved places had all taken their positions, the cardinal arshbishop, the bishops, their vicars-general, crucifix-bearers, train-holders and suite, came from the sacristy through the gate at the rear of the high altar, and, after • short interval, descended its steps and passed in slow procession down the nave, to wait the arrival of the King. Here, again, the imagi nation was carried back to olden times. If the people c=h=ide, or the quaint costumes within, looked moliteml, this long file of princes of the church seemed to represent antiquity itself. The style and semblance of the jewelled mitres, the massive gold croziers, the richly-embroidered vest ments, the violet, the green, and the red silks which marked the rank of the different prelates present, wars all older than the building we were in ; and whatever other changes Brussels has seen, it is more than possible that precisely such • procession as we pow beheld issued from the same m oiety, to walk as solemnly down the same full save, say when Philip the Good of Burgundy or the &sperm Charles V. held the chapters of the Golden Elea°e here long centuries ago. A kolirse murmur, which soon swell' into a deep and continuous roar of welcome, followed by a flourish of trumpets, which sounded marvellously stage-like, tells us that the King has arrived at the Place °staid& Then do the hundreds of harps, violins, drums, and wind instruments stationed in the tribune above the organ break into • triumphal march, and looking down the long range of bayo nets and bearskins, the ownersof which are standing in rigid attitude at attention, we see a slight move ment among the effulgent croziers and mitres, and in a few minutes more the acolytes, with silver crucifixes and candles, and the prelates and their staff, are seen to be slowly returning towards our place of vantage ground. Next, the kind, mild face of the refined-looking King is recognised, and impulsive loyalists cry, " Vive le Roi ! " until • general "Hush !" which has to be more than once repeated—rebukes their too fervid zeal, and reminds them of the sacred character of the building we are in. Bowing silently right and left, and repeating the salutations where, as was often the case, be recognized a face be knew, his Majesty passed gradually through church and choir, and, with the three Princes accompanying him, took his seat under the crown-capped canopy to the left of the altar. The prelates and staff likewise filed into their places, and the triumphantly con gratulatory bunt of the drums and trumpets gave plain to the solemn tones of Stadtfield's Te Deum. The voices of the hundreds of singers stationed in the second gallery below the huge organ at the end mingle harmoniously with its strains — mars are doffed, and handed flat and limp to the ecclesiastical servitors in waiting behind the episco pal thrones—the red skull cap of the chief prelate and the tonsured heads of the rest, bend forward in silent prayer—the King kneels, while others stand, as if overcome with excitement and fatigue ; the gorgeous crimson and gold missal is obsequiously held before the Cardinal while he invokes God's blessings on a free people's choice—and with a re verence to the lighted altar and another to the tribune of the King, the dignitaries of the church again pass with stately step down the passage in the crowded nave, followed in turn by the royal party as before. More joyous strains from the many instruments, another glimpse of the gorgeous pre lates before they pass fies.lly behind the altar into the sacristy, more tumultuous cheering, "Vive le Roi," and sonorous trumpeting outside, and then the vast congregation of princes and statesmen, of priests, soldiery, and people, are seen good-hu mouredly pushing towards the doors, and joyously commenting upon the popularity of their constitu tional monarch and the security of his throne. It is impossible to close this record of the cere monies attending the accession of Leopold 11., and to pass, as I propose to do in my next, to the pre sent attitude of political parties in Belgium, with out again warmly acknowledging the never-failing courtesy of the court and municipality. A card from the Minister of the Interior, enjoining all civil and military authorities, all masters of cere mony, and all officers of police, to ensure the bearer free ingress and egress wheresoever and whensoever it was presented ; another card from M. Anspach, the Burgomaster of Brussels, similar in character, but applying only to the functionaries within his jurisdiction ; and a written order from M. Jules de Vaux, minister resident and private secretary to the King, directing all officials of the palace to promptly admit the holder within its gates under every conceivable circum stance, are among the facilities which have been afforded me. They were proffered, moreover, with a graceful readiness and a manifest desire to oblige, which made them doubly valuable ; and it is im possible to spend even a short time here without remarking—now in the enthusiastic shouts of "Vive la Reins d'Angleterre," "Vive le Prince de Galles," both in the Senate Chamber and from the crowd outside it, now in the unaffected welcome given to the humblest Englishman--how hearty and deep seated is the affectionate regard of the Belgian people for their friends and neighbours of Great Britain. THE JAMAICA QUESTION. —A meeting convened by requisition and attended by some 1,500 persons, Ins bell on Tuesday evening at the Guildhall, Cambridge. In the absence of the Mayor, the chair was taken by Mr. G. E. Foster. Letters ware ' read from Profemor Grote and Dr. Wheys'', expressive of their sympathy with the object of the meeting, which was in fa vour of full inquiry into the outbreak in Jamaica and its suppremion. The proceedings were of a most disorderly character, and it was with difficulty some of the speakers could obtain a hearing. A resolution was moved, thanking the government for the promised inquiry, and especially for the suspension of Governor Eyre during its program ; but to this an mead ment was moved and declared to be carried, " That it would be unjust to Governor Eyre to peas any opinion upon his condeet pending such inquiry." THE PROPOSED CONVERSION OF THE METROPOLIS Drro Mustmrsurtra.—At a meeting of the bt.Psnonui vestry, yesterday, & communication from the vestry of St. Junes's. Westminster, was read, with a copy of Mr. Beanie's resolu lion for conferrieg municipal powers on the metropolitan boroughs, sod abolishing the powers of the irresponsible magistracy as well as the Metropolitan Board of Works, and asking the cooperation of the vestry, by appointing delegates to a meeting of all the vestries and load board' to counter the question. Mr. Roes. in moving the appoint ment of fi ve delegates from St. Pancras, highly approved of the project, end said the funds of the corporation of London ought to be distributed over the whole metropolis. It was monstrous also that they had to raise fonds which were disbursed by an irresponsible magistracy and Pam pews sioners over whom the ratepayers bad no metro,. Mr. J. R. Collins seconded the motion, and Meson North, Fur. nies, and others gave the proposal their cordial and it was mead unanimously ; sad Messrs. 11am, Collins, and Funds', with the churchwardens, were appointed. PRIVATE BILLS.—The number of private bills fee 1 mut session at the Billoffice of the Hones of Lords is 646. I Last year the number of bills was 595. Mr. P. H. Rathbone, the President of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce, entertained at dingier last orrenleg, at the Law Society's Booms, the Bight Hon. Lard Stanley, KT' the borough and county members, the ex presidents and members of the Chamber of Ceouneres, and • number of other gentlemen. Lord Sulfur, on risicg to reepond to the taut of his health, was received with loud applause. After briar acknowledging the kindness of his reception, and dwell ing upon the political obligation of rank, he spoke of the fusion which has taken place in the country of the great mercantile and manufacturing classes on one hand, and the great territorial body on the other. Both were now alike interested in the war upon our great national enemy pauperism. Men whom fortunes has been acquired in the great towns were becoming influential landowner", and among the landed classes the disappearance was almost complete of the prejudice against bringing up their children to industrial occupations. The noble lord than proceeded to speak of chambers of cooramerce in general, sad the meow which they can and would render. " There is another question," said his lordahip—" I mean that proposition which has been often made, to create tribu nals of commeroe, special nuns far the teal of commercial q uestions, in connection with thees chambers. You are of worse ewers that on* taihtnele raft on the essdinsnt , awl are said to work remarkably well. In Frame at least they powers very large powers ; they are very generally resorted to, sad it is asserted that the number of appeals from them is fewer than from the ordinary civil courts. I don't, however, wish to be understood as giving • positive SWIM sin of opinion upon that question. It her sever been fairly analysed, either, as far..as I hoe seen, in print or parlismentan discussion. I know that there are greet obstacles to the establishment of rash tribunals, assi 1 believe it would be fair to put the matter in this wsy—that the preponderance of mercantile opinion is In favour of their establishment, and the preponderance of legal opinion is against it. Thus couch is certain, that judges os the bench have complained of the difficulty of meting Maas disputes from the special knowledge which they require and that anything in the nature of • more ntmeed Gs authoritative system of arbitration would by many canoes engaged in budnms be considered es a peat boos. I repeat it—l don't go further than that. I feel this is a qusinea ripe for consideration —hardly rips far action ; bet I deal forget, and I hope you will remember, that it is one el those s uasion§ which were specially named at the faandation of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

Yesterday the the official inspection of this line wee roads by Captain Tyler, government inspector at railways, previous to its being erased shortly for passempr traffic. Tim eissnination was commenced about 11 o'clock, In the preesses of • number of gentlemen connected with the Metropolitan Railway. Captain Tyler first Inspeated the telegraphic apparatus by Spagnobitti, and the levers ia the sigoal-box at the junction of the lines sear the sew Fardogdosatreet station, and also at the est:saes of the Clerkenwell tunnel, where at the peewit moment some works of • rather extraordinary character are being carried out by the contractor, Mr. Belk, nadir the supervision of Mr. Annstroag. On the out of the Clerkeswell tunnel another is being made, 14 feet below that already axithieg and now nssd for the daily traffic of the line to and from Paddington. The new tunnel will extend about 700 yards in the direction of Bing . earees, and the remainder of the distance to the latter station will be an open cutting. From close loth. entranos of the Farringdonatreet station the auxiliary line, con- Dieting of two sets of narrowiange mils, will graillually slope towards the mouth of the new tunnel, the course of the entrance to which will be just above the roadway at the opening into the swath end of the Clerkenw ell tunnel. Over this auxiliary l which ine, is entirely for the swim of the Great Northers, Midland, and London, Chet ham, and Dover Railways, it is estimated that at least 750,000 tons of coal will be carried from the north to the south of the Thames daring the first year's traffic. From the entrance of the Clerkenwell tunnel the officials proceeded to the newomd what will be the permanent Far• ringdon-street station. This building fame Charles-street, and is situated on the east of the temporary station now in use. Is is a large and commodious structure, similar in character to those on the macs line, with which the public are familiar, the booking-offices being on a level with the street and the platform; of which there are several in the cutting below. At the south end of thenewFarringdonatreet station there ere two openings beneath the girder bridge which crosses the stre et above. Through that on the right the line leads to • junction with the London, Chatham. and Dover, at Ludgatra.hill, and also to a loop line furnished with • mixed gauge for the accommodation of the Great Western Rail way, and passing beneath the site of the intended new meat market at Smithfield. The narrow gauge rails of the Me tropolitan Railway proper are takes beneath the left opening, and running round the base of the north wall of the cutting peas beneath a co vered way at the end of St. Johnatrest, Clerkenwell, and under Charterhouseatrest, emerging at the Aldeesgate *tattoo, a spleodid building, 300 feet long and 70 feet high, with lofty brick arched, retaining walls, and arched roof of IMO and glass. Its construction is something similar to that of King'saross, bat it appears to be of much larger dimensions. The distance between the Farriogdonatrest sad the Aldersgateatreet stations is about • quarter of a mile, and from the latter through the left half of the station the line is continued through covered ways and cuttings to the temporary wooden Moralists station in Little Moorfields at the back of Finsbury Pavement, the railway is its route from Aldersgate station having passed beneath Redcrosastreet, Whitecrossatreet, Milton-street, and Moor-lane. The dietetics from Aldersgate-street to the Id oorga t ea treet station is nearly half a m ils ; the total length of the line f rem the junction near the Clerkenwell tunnel being about • mile. The loop line, of ter passing beneath the site of the market, eaters the southern half of the Alderegatastrest station, and will be thence continued on the south of the Metropolitan rails Little 3loor6eldawhere • terminus for the accommoda tion of the Great Western traffic will be at once erected. A portion of the mixed gauge rails upon the loop line, on which the Great Western traffic from Paddington will be taken to the City, has been laid, but the cutting from near Aldersgste s t a tion to Moorgate has yet to be cleared of the soil, and the line laid in mellows' for the passage of trains. The permanent way telegraph, signals, Sm., of the Metropolitan Extension from Ferringdocatreet to the City station in Little Moorfields, are completed, ready for the immediate opening of the line. On reaching the Moor. gate station, Captain Tyler returned again along the line, examining the points and signals, • special trein being at his disposal. The examination lasted several hours, and on the whole appeared of • favourable character. With regard to the opening of the line for public traffic, that may be expected daily, and could be done with ease this week, if passed by the inspector. The extension to Finsbury will probably be opened in time for the Christmas traffic, and if not, at least by New Year's. day. Yesterday no day was fixed for that event, though the officials anticipated an immediate commencement of traffic.

Mr. Cohen, whose life the doctors despair of being able to nave, stated that Mr. Hayman was smoking a cigarette • and he let the paper with which he had lit eat fall into • box of Chinese fire paper.
