The ancient character of the corporation, its vast immunities, privileges, and extensive jurisdiction—its proud asso ciations with most of the remarkable epochs in our history the deserved earliest ti mes, and reputati on i t acquired in the has to the present eriod hono urably mai n t a i ne d d own pthe pos sesses, and the . mmti ra lleled g rea t Power it influence which corners it exercises and ,-haT -,spread the remotest corners of the. earth iiii-arre from its immense re the high moral fame whiCh is spontaneon COaCeded to the British mer chant wherever -heris:ipt*, are all considerations which ialliart-ill3l-I*ere'66 the public introduction o f the chief %lagistrate g the city of London. More over, the invariable attendance of the Sovereign's THE SUN, LONDON, WE MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1846. Ministers and other leading functionaries of these realms at the first festive entertainment of the LORD MAYOR, is an additional ingredient of laudable exulta tion with the citizens, and never fails to clothe their magnificent hospitality with especial importance in the eyes of a loyal and admiring public. The circumstance, too, that this great civic fête occurs at a period of the year when Parliament is not sitting, leads men to listen to the responsive speeches of the Ministers with more than ordinary anxiety, in order that they may the better judge of the internal and external prospects of the country. The approach of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the banquetting-hall was greeted with the utmost cordiality ; it could not well have been otherwise. Apart from the fact of his being one of their own representatives, the citizens could not be unmindful that his Lordship was the Prime Minister of England. They must have remembered also at the moment when the Premier drew forth their plaudits, that after he had been re jected as a Minister by Parliament, on account of his declared adhesion to the principles of free trade, he, for the first time, presented himself, under great dis advantages, as a candidate for the city of London ; that they returned him to the House of Commons, where his principles triumphed, and that the digni fied position of the Chief of the Cabinet had devolved upon the object of their choice. In our review of yester day of the intelligence received from Ireland we ex pressed an assurance that the murrain in the potato has not been so extensively disastrous as has for a long time been apprehended ; and we are happy to observe that the LORD MAYOR, whilst proposing the health of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and expressing his confidence that they would do all in their power to mitigate the calamity, stated " it was not so great as it had been represented to be." Sir GEORGE CARROLL iS no mean authority on these matters. He was actively engaged in commercial business between thirty and forty years, and conducted extensive financial operations with the leading capitalists of Lon don. The merchants in our city have the swiftest, the most precise, and the fullest information upon everything affecting the trade and commerce o the country. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, " a sort l of electric telegraph communicates to the citizens of London all that happens in every part of the empire." We are satisfied that Sir GEORGE CARROLL would not speak upon so momentous a subject as the failure of a crop, which has brought thousands to the brink of starvation, with insufficient data, or without due reflection. In this view, then, we hail with grateful delight the confirmation by the LORD MAYOR of our impression, that the dispensation of PROVIDENCE has not been so severe as was originally credited. But, be it great or small, the Premier only dii justice to his audience when he declared, that "at whatever is matter of joy they rejoice —in every matter of la mentation they hasten to contribute their utmost to alleviate and remedy the distress." This sentiment was loudly cheered, and the Irish may take comfort in the persuasion that, whatever may be the amount of assistance the Minister may think should be afforded them by England under their present afflic tions, the wealthy, enlightened, and benevolent of the mightiest city in the world will gladly counte nance. In all seasons of public distress the sym pathy, humanity, and generosity of the city of London have ever been most prominent. So prover bial, indeed, have become these ennobling charac teristics of our citizens, that whenever, through ex tensive conflagrations, vast inundations, or other de plorable visitations, the cities and properties of foreign lands have been consumed or devastated, to England, in chief, have their appeals for alleviation been directed, and never in vain. If such is the active spirit with which England stretches the hand of suc cour to distant shores whence the cry of distress has been wafted to our own, Ireland may rely upon it that in the hour of need the munificence will be forth coming to assuage her sorrows. But, whilst we are confident of this, we are nevertheless deeply grateful for the belief that the produce of the sister isle has not been so fearfully smitten as was anticipated. Nothing has latterly indicated more conspicuously the diversity of human opinion upon the principle which should be regarded as the primum mobile of legislation as the recent struggle connected with British agriculture. Qnot homilies tot sententice was never more strikingly illustrated than on the occasion of the last Parliamentary campaign. " Restrictive imposts are protective of native industry," said one ; The corn-laws diminish home eonsumption and cripple our insular agriculturists," said another; "Free trade doctrines will produce a national bankruptcy," said the alarmier.. ti „lass monopoly hp -Z-25,41 orthwith we cannot answer for the consequences," threatened the enthusiastic advocates of the popular policy. One cried, " The markets will be swamped by an inundation of foreign grain ;" another, "Bread may become cheaper, but wages will proportionably diminish ;" another, "Prices will remain stationary under all circumstances, and the speculators will be alone benefited ;" another, " Our farming interests will be sacrificed for the emolument of our manufac turers." Every shadow of difference in deduction from the same identical facts variously handled, was perceptible even in the discussions of our representa tive legislators. They were unquestionably divided into two antagonistic forces ; but each force numbered an astonishing variety of intellectual weapons. The continuation of the restrictions upon importation and exportation was advocated in every conceivable manner; the supposed perils derivable from the doctrines of commercial emancipation were in like manner considered under every imaginable aspect. The same statistical calculations fell under the immediate observation of every one, but almost every separate individual regarded those calculations through a novel medium ; the figures were transposed, and the results distorted according to the bias of each observer. Among the protectionists alone we coul:1 illustrate our meaning by an extraordinary di versity of examples, from Lord STANLEY himself down to the most leaden-headed wine-bibber on the back benches of an agricultural demonstration. As time elapses, and the consequences of Sir ROBERT PZEL'S commercial measure becomes more apparent, those varieties of opinion are assuming to themselves a most Protean and cha melion-like fluctuation. Animosity is dwindling into indifference, indifference is merging into asto nishment, astonishment is resolving itself into en thusiasm. We shal ultimately behold the bitterest enemies of the League swelling the ranks of its dis ciples and admirers. One by one the great landed proprietors of the kingdom have confessed the fallacy of their original impressions ; one after another they are bowing with submission to the majesty of Uni. , versal Truth. During the festivities appertaining to the rent-day at \Vynyard Park on Friday, the 6th instant, a re markable oration was delivered to his tenantry by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. There were no evidences of legislative sagacity in this oration ; its induction was not astonishing for any display of profundity in the know ledge and application of political economy; nor, indeed, was there any approach to oratorical excel lence even in its peroration. Nevertheless, we dis tinctly maintain that the speech delivered on this occasion by Lord LONDONDERRY, meagre in illustra tion, and inartistic in arrangement as it undoubtedly %s as, harried w ith it, on the whole, a 'na r k e d and significant importance. Th e Noble Marquis, cheered b y the flourishing condition of his rent. roll, and exulting in the accurate balance of the accounts between himself and his numerous tenantry, takes a retrospective re view of the consequences of the policy sanctioned by the Legislature during the last session of the Imperial Parliament. And what, in brig, may be asked, were the reflections excited by the retrospection of one so deeply and personally interested in the prosperity of the agriculture of Great Britain ? Briefly, they were these. Lord LONDONDERRY could not help acknow ledging that prices have continued rising steadily up to the last market-day! that fariners in the ag gregate were never in a more prosperous condition ! that he himself hail a convincing testimony that this prosperity was not superficial, seeing that two only out of his whole body of tenantry were in arrears ! Beyond this, he felt peculiar satisfaction in declaring that rents were in no instance diminishing! and that, on the b cont rary, there was no prospect whatever of their beeienng l b o r w ok e e re n d l ! theongYesintee ; talisman of agr i cu l ture had the palladi um of British e orn-growers had been destroyed • the omnipotent corn -laws had been repealed affair i t ar e all very we ll fr ; logic is a cap i tal n its way : but the punctuallity of payment in a tenant, the melodious ringing of gold coin and the crumpling of bank-notes in the fingers of a steward, are more convincing than the masterpiece of the most con summate logician. Lord LONDONDERRY recognises the foolishness of the mournful anticipations indulged in by -the protectionists ; he recognises their foolish ness in the happiness of his tenantry, and in the replenishment of his coffers. Beholding the pros perity that has, in his experience, resulted from the recent Parliamentary changes, the Noble Marquis reprobates the asperities of language and occasicnally the miserable personalities by which those changes were accompanied ; he avouches that much exaggera tion was visible in the picture variously but darkly painted by the imaginations of the most eminent up holders of protection. In the conduct of the late Prime Minister he does not perceive anything re quiring apology. " Sir ROBERT PEEL," says he, was the Minister of the country, not of a party." According to the aspersers of that Right Honour able Baronet, the nation was to be involved in difficulties immediately upon the acceptation of his measures of mercantile reform —according to the admiring and grateful contemporaries of that great statesman, general advantages would, on the contrary, result therefrom. The former assertion has been laughed to scorn by the verification of the latter. Simple and unassuming as was the oration of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it is likely to prove one of eminent utility. It is the approval wrung from a landowner by the realisation of some amongst the fair est dreams of the free-traders—those dreams which were once regarded as the visions of Utopia. The admirable letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the Duke of LEINSTER, to which we have already directed the public attention, has roused the ire of the Earl of DESART, who has published what he calls a vindication of himself and his brother landlords from the charges supposed to be contained therein. It is said that the Noble Earl is a candidate for the vacant representative peerage occasioned by the death of the late Marquis of THOMOND, hence his readiness to rush into print to attack the sagacious statesman at the head of the Ministry, in order that the noble electors may have an opportunity for judging of his qualifications, and seeing on what slender grounds he can carp at the Government and pour forth his spleen against the Executive. Lord Joux—in stating the course pursued by the Administration in authorising the Lord-Lieutenant to deviate from the letter of the law, and to give his sanction to advances being made for useful and profitable works, although of a private nature, thus taking upon themselves a great and. se rious responsibility, for which a Parliamentary in demnity will be required—stated the views which the Cabinet had formed as to the practical working of the Labour-rate Act. He said,- "It had been our hope and expectation that landed proprietors would have commenced works of drainage and other im provements on their own account, thus employing the people on their own estates, and rendering the land more productive for the future. In that case it would have been only the surplus labour which would have been employed on roads and other works not imme diately profitable." Lord DESART immediately be comes indignant at what, we must confess, appears to us a rather natural expectation. It is reason able to hope that every subject will discharge the duties incidental to his position. It is especially the duty of every landowner to provide adequate em ployment for the labouring poor belonging to his es tate ; he should either provide them with useful occu pation likely to afford a fair return for the amount expended, or he should make up his mind to support them in idleness, and not to cast upon others the burden which in justice and equity should fall upon himself. And it might fairly be calculated, that in the pressing difficulties in which the country has been placed, some, at least, of the body would strive efficiently to perform their part, and to employ the people on their own estates. This, however, appears a monstrous supposition to Lord DESART. He cannot hear it " without entering his protest against the im plication of neglect of duty on the part of the Irish landlords." The manner in which his Lordship proceeds to prove that they have fulfilled their duties, and that an unjust and unfounded aspersion has been cast upon them by the implication of neglect, is essentially Irish ; he divides them into two classes, those who have hitherto neglected and those who have performed their duties, and lie attempts to show that from neither of these can anything be expected at the pre sent time. lie asks— « es.— CO John Russell here allude to those who have hitherto neglected their estates ? If so, surely his knowledge of human nature must have been sufficient to all him that those whom neither a sense of interest nor mutual obligation had hitherto been able to incite to a performance of their duties would not be likely to come forward at this crisis. But if he alludes to the resident and improving proprietors, how does he expect them, with a diminished rental and increased burdens, to create a new fund to meet the present emergency ? If they have hitherto done their duty, they have employed their available income in carrying out improvements on their properties ; and, in the present times, it will require the utmost economy on their parts to continue (nut to in crease) the number of their labourers. This is, indeed, rather a curious vindication of the Irish landlords. One section have always neglected their estates. It ie, therefore, absurd to suppose that they will be stimulated even by the present emer gency, and all that will he in the power of the other is to continue the former quantity of labour. Lord Dasarer should know that if the landlord of the latter class had fully performed his duty there would be no pressure or necessity in his immediate neighbour hood,—every man belonging to his lands would be provided with sufficient work thereon, without being compelled to seek it from other sources; but he seems to think that the landlords are to do nothing them selves, but that everything is to be pro vided for them by the State. The English land lords obtain nu Government assistance, and yet the poor are taken care of and provided for, but in Ireland everything must be done by the Government, and it is unreasonable to hope for any thing from unaided exertion. His Lordship com plains that the proprietors of entailed estates cannot obtain a participation of the benefits offered by the Drainage Act. This, we think, should be amended, as we agree with his Lordship that it is the tenant for life, who cannot charge the inheritance of the lands with any portion of the amount expended thereon in permanent and valuable improvements, that more urgently requires the assistance that would be thereby afforded; but it should be borne in mind that the present Government are not responsible for that Act, nor was it intended as the means by which tl- i e exigencies of the country were to be provided for. The landlord who cannot come within its provi sions may receive assistance, and have his lands drained under the provisions of the Labour-rate Act in its modified form ; he may, by giving the re quired undertaking, obtain a presentment at the Extraordinary Baronial Sesslons, and thus, pro tauto, remove the burden that would be occasioned by works of an unprofitable nature from the electoral division in which his property is situated. Lord DESART should shoerthat he himself, and those as whose advocate he appears, have also failed in the attempt to make these latter provisions available. We can feel for the Vficulties to be encountered by Irish landlords; but before they look for the public sympathy they should strive with activity and zeal to overcome them by the means within their power, and, above all, they should refrain from vilifying and reproaching the wise and sagacious Ministers that have already done so much on their behalf because they do not work impossibili ties, and should be thankful for the assistance that has been afforded to them. Mad :rid papers of the a 1 instant have arrived. It was believed in Madrid that one of the first pro- jects of law which would be presented to the new Cortes by the Ministers, would be a measure for the reform of the commercial tariff. Queen CHRISTINA, it is said, will leave Madrid for Paris at the close of the present year. Don ENRIQUE is expected shortly to return to Madrid. 1 These pape rs conta i n news from Lisbon of the 29th. Santarem was a t th at t i me in possession of the insur gent; having b een evacuated by the QUEEN'S troops, who . had ar r i ve d i n Li s b on. The QUEEN had issued a de cree, directing that if the Count DE THOMAR (CABRAL) Should set foot in Portugal he should be immediately arrested and confined in a fortress. A royal order has been communicated to the commander of the frigate Dukneza de Braganza, the guardship of the port of Lisbon, to seize the person of the Count DE Tgoz,tag, if he should arrive by sea. Lisbon was completely surrounied by guerillas, so that it was dangerous for any of the garrison to leave the city. These guerillas loudly demanded the abdication of the QUEEN, and the withdrawal of King FERDINAND and his favourite German, DIETZ, the Afraneesado, from the country. An article entitled " The State of the Question," which has been clan destinely published by the Democratic party, contains the following passage : " Either the revolution must fail, and a new 6th of October take place, the r. presentative Government being replaced by a personal Government, or the Queen must abdicate and withdraw altogether from public affairs with her husband and maitre Dietz,' to whom the country is already indebted for some revolutions and for the state of anarchy in which it is at present placed. This spon taneous abdication would be the only natural act of the reign of Dunna Maria." The Count DAs ANTAS was rapidly advancing on Lisbon, and according to the Cadiz National, King FERDINAND seemed rather inclined to treat with him than to fight him, and had even asked the com mander of the English fleet to act as a mediator be tween himself and his subjects.

It appears that the Marquis of NORMANDY was not the only Foreign Minister who refused to attend the reception of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER on Satur day. It will be perceived from the following article in the Commerce that the Belgian Minister was also absent:— " It is not only by diplomatic notes, but also by public and official manifestations, that the displeasure of Eng land and the rupture of the entente cordiale are now ex hibited. This day took place, at the Tuileries, the re ception of the corps diplomatique, who came to con gratulate the King on the subject of the Duke de Montpensier's marriage with the Infanta Donna Luisa, the presumptive heiress to the crown of Spain. Two significant absences were observed during the pre. sentation—that of the Marquis of Normanby, the Eng lish Ambassador, and that of the Belgian Embassy. With the exception of these two representatives, whose absence has a clear and unequivocal meaning, the corps diplomatique were au grand complet, minus, however, the Prussian Minister Plenipotentiary, M. D'Arnom, the Prussian Ambassador, M. d'Appony, and the Sardinian Ambassador, who are not at Paris at this moment. The Pope's Nuncio, the Spanish, Neapolitan, and Ottoman Ambassadors, the son of M. d'Appony (who acted for his father), the Russian Charg‘ d'Affaires M. de Kisse lcf ; the Ministers Plenipotentiary of Saxony, Wurtem burg, and Bavaria; the CharOs d'Affaires of the United States, Tuscany, Mecklenburg, &c., &c., were pre sent. The absence of Lord Normanby created a very great sensation among the diplomatic body; the absence of the Belgian Ambassador is not of less importance when coupled with the departure of King Leopold, who left the palace two days ago; notwithstanding the exalted solicitations that would have detained him, the Cobourg blood has prevailed, on the occasion, over the family ties which ought to make that prince side entirely with our dynasty. This evening the Messager observed a prudent and significant silence respecting the day's event. It would also appear that M. Guizot still hoped to see Lord Normanby attend this solemn reception. His journals and reviews had assured us that England protested against the Spanish marriages but with a view to remote even tualities: it is now well proved that Lord Palmerston is much more positive in his rancour and ill-will." The Journal des Debats contents itself with an nouncing the fact of the absence of the Marquis of NORMANDY, but the Presse thus comments on it:— " As we had stated, the diplomatic corps have been received this day at the Palace of the Tuileries, on the occasion of the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensif:r. All the Ambassadors and Mi nisters Plenipotentiary now at Paris repaired in grand uniforms to this reception, where his Excellency the Ambassador of England shone by his absence. Such was the sincerity of that alliance, and the cordiality of that entente, which we have constantly exhorted our country to distrust." King Louis PHILIPPE, having secured the IN! ANTA and her dowry for his son, does not seem inclined at all to pay the enormous expenses of this marriage out of his private purse; on the contrary, he throws the whole of them upon the country—an artful, cunning mode of squeezing out of France, under the name of travelling expenses, that dotation for his son which he knows no Chamber of Deputies would ever grant him. The following remarks, from the Siecle, show the large amount of secret service money which has passed into the hands of M. GUIZOT during the last three months : "By a royal ordinance, dated July 10, M. Guizot was allowed 280,000 f. fur extraordinary couriers and tra !ravelling expenses, and for extraordinary missions. 250,0001. and 590,000 f.—altogether 1,120,000 f. This was tolerably well, it we consider that 750,000 f. had already been voted by the Chamber of Deputies for a similar service, and it might have been expected that M. GuiZet would have been satisfied. But, no ; by a royal ordinance dated the 10th of October, he was granted 200,000 f, and by another royal ordinance, dated the 25th of October, 300,000 f. • t i,,, , 7t h tor unexpected expenses, 320,000 f. Thus within four months M. Guizot has been allowed 1,900,000'., independent of 650,000 E, 150,000 E, and 600,001. granted by the budget. That a grand line of politics requires a great expenditure was one of the maxims and the constant practice of Cardinal Richelieu. \I. Guizot may certainly be compared to him in the point of view of expense. The Duke DE MONTPENSIER is not the only Bourbon Prince who marries a Princes; with an immense dowry. The Duke DE BORDEAUX is on the point of marriage with a Princess of Modena, whose fortune is four millions sterling. The Constitutionnel says— " The news of the Duke de Bordeaux's marriage with a sister of the Duke of Modena, is obtaining confirma tion. The settlements, it is said, were signed by proxy at Modena on the 30th Octobc•r, and the marriage pub lished at Vienna on the 31st, by command of the Empe ror, whose first cousin the Princess is. It is added that the marriage was to have been solemnized this very day. The future Duchess de Bordeaux is thirty years of age; her fortune is reckoned at 100 ,000,000 francs. The Duke de Bordeaux is twenty-six years of age." The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 82f. 45c.

A retired officer, in soma " Remarks on our Means of Defence against an Invasion," justly writes, that " the unprotected state of the country has, no doubt, obtruded itself upon the notice of the reflecting part of the in habitants ; but as many do not take the trouble to re flect, and as the thinking faculties of a considerable number are devoted almost exclusively to commerce and manufact ures, h e cannot be deeme d an a l arm i s t who call s th e attent i on of the public to a subject of more importanc e t h an any that has in latter days engrossed its meditati ve p owers. It is, in the first place, neces sary to inform the unthinki ng, t h at t h e popu l ar phrase, the wooden w a ll s o f E ngland, " is now become obso l-te ; however j us t an d expressive it may have been i n former days, when th e w i n d s and tides, com bi ne d w ith the superior seamanship of our mariners, kept us n a state of security.

It behoves us, therefore, the more to prepare all the means in our power for resistance. The principal object of these remarks is to urge the employment of the militia as a nursery for the line, and the neees,ity of arming and training the people ; or if the latter shonld be considered inexpedient, as a general measure, to give at least greater facilities to the formation, both in town and country, of corps of yeomanry and volunteer cavalry, to be trained so as to act, when dismounted, a 3 skirmishers. So long as our army is, numerically speak ing, wholly inadequate to meet such an emergency as I have contemplated, some of the measures I sug gested are urgently and immediately necessary to the safety of the country." The Spanish Bondholders Committee, represented at Paris by the deputation which co-operates with the continental creditors, does not appear to let the grass grow under its feet, for' an energetic statement has been made public, which, while it sets forth in plain terms the increased ability of Spain to do justice to those who assisted her in time of need, also plainly intimates that every effort will be used to press the matter officially upon the attention of the Go vernment of Madrid, should quiet representation fail of the effect intended.

Historical works, and the generalg they tell us more of kings and peers and princes th,. are too much occupied with externalarisi of men, and, consequently, howsoever great the our wonder or admiration, we feel little syropathY, o r from little interest.
