ARRTVAL oF THE QTTEEN• oBRIGHT. 01'sr OCT 4 —Never within the memory of the old of its inhabit . an . ts has Brighton been so crowded as fro m tt s at the present moment. Th o usands are pouring in the rorn a" quarters, and th oug h every house is crammed, from cellar to the attic, yet " the cry is still they s uch be the interest prevailing generally throughout the . na ,arl! °Part the occasion of our gracious - Queen's first visit to 1.3 ighton, what must be the feelings of the inhabitants . them selves ? Without for one moment imputing to them a er share of royalty to our young Sovereign than that Which. sways the hearts of each and all of her subjects, yet ran not be denied that they have a peculiar interest in j es a t in g Brighton a desirable summer residence to her Ma repreference to any other that she may have here tofo visited. With many this must, no doubt, be a very secondar f • fear Y "ling, but when such a motive exists in aid of tr ," • .. t. In which all participate, and of which all most 4t enthusiastically approve,; it is scarcely to be wondered If the welcome of our Queen to Brighton should be snore than commensurate with any demonstrations of attachment she may have hitherto received. Indeed It would of h appear as if no e a rthly thing were thought ere th an that of a ddi ng t o the we lcome which all are.nxious to render as grateful as possible to our young Sovereign. I t i s, in fact, obvious to the most superf i c i al se rver that l oya l ty at the present d ay i s not lik e l oya l ty lierrtofore. The English are almost proverbially a loyal 0 " P le, and accordi ng l y our S overe i gns , f or a c entury back I more, m i g h t well have boasted of having loyal subjects ; saut our present Q ueen i s diff erent l y c i rcums t ance d. T o 11. .iY her subjects are loyal is to say nothing ! This indeed " Id be " damnin g w ith f a i n t p ra i se ." Affection warm t nd t rue, and en th us i ast i c b ecause cons id era t e , s h o uld not e sabered down to the cold arid heartless, though dutiful , a ,Pliellati on of loyalty. Perhapa amongst the countless !naustinds thi s d ay assembled to w i tness her arr i va l a s i ng l e ti l4di vidual cou ld n ot b e found who wou ld not as rea dil y r i s k es life to save her from injury, as he would do so to pro "' a sister, a daughter, or a wife ; and shall we say that a People actuated by such feelings are, forsooth, loyal ? No instead of saving they are loyal, we would rather say 'Bat they feel the deepest consideration and i nterest f or a 37°I lug; and inexperienced girl, placed in a position, the re -P"sibility of which is only to be equalled by the difficulty ofs discharging its duties advantageously for . the country. kith a feeling is the first step to affection, just as pity is alon t o love, and it would be a libel to that affection—on 00 that devotion to the Queen—to view its. outbreak as a it ere eb u lli t i on of loyalty, rather than of heartfelt persona l t at tachment. If ever morta l was yet to b e env i e d, t h at mor al was the Queen at the moment when tens of thousands Pere pouring f ort h t h e i r acc l amat i ons o f we l come a nd of 303. ' She must have felt, at that moment, in the fullest measure of intense gratification, that— " The tribute most true to a head that is royal T , Is lov e f rom a h eart t h at l oves lib erty too ." nat tribute s h e rece i ve d—th a t t r ibut e she is the only s. .ivereign in th e wor ld w h o cou ld c l a im, or to whom it could 1)e given with such truth and sincerity. Whicli will now proceed to give a sketch of the preparations were made for her reception by the authorities, and :° notice some of the princip.il ones which were entered 1, 14° hy private individuals. To notice all of them would -e to fill our columns to the exclusion of all other matter, thever," •, time me would allow the opportunity of enumerating c .: 1 2 11 ! great feature is the amphitheatre at the bottom of r Cu-street.

The arena is open . to the sky, but the galleries u °/ ‘er gallery is about three feet from the ground ; and Pon this stage persons were allowed to take their stand on P43lll ent of a m oderate sum, the admission being by tickets Q 1 ' 1, 5• The nu mber of persons capable of being thus ac -e°a'tflodated was rec koned at 1,400. Overhead is a gallery : I-1414 ' 4 1g three rows of seats, with places for about 1,000 !Jet s the whole of which were taken last night. This ZerY also runs the whole length of the avenue which forms .. e entran ce i n t o the amphitheatre, and flanks it on each ,7 de • The ga ll er ies are divided by pillars into twelve corn kk-.llll,:nts and are handsomely finished off with evergre ens fo r „ , f i r; ;9 minarets, to correspond with the peculiar archi tecture of th t , Palace itself; against which the south en d of e a mphitheatre: a lsats. Each compartment forms a broad f 'Vl, hu ng w i t h green and tastefully decorated with t rage ; w hil e t h e panels o f ,-, , hat may he called the front of v e 'e boxes are co vered with crimson, bearing the initials and other devices, and edged with green boughs. b At th e entrance o f the town, just south of the Hare a n d 41 ounds Inn, on the London-road, a very handsome rural : te ll , decorated entirely with foliage and flowers, was c -i.e teafter a lan given in . to the Committee by Mr. G. ,„`lcesm d. an. It p consisted of a large arch over the carriage ""Y, and a smaller arch over the pavement on each side. At thi s spot the high constable and his : Misers were sta ti () Led to receive and welcome her Majesty. The whole length of road from this rural arch to the amphitheEiLre was protected by bar r i ca d es a t ever y opening, and the vacant 1)l a ces were all let for carriages to stand in. On every vacant piece of ground in this line individuals erected tem porary platforms, and advertised ,‘ s eats to let ;" and we have beard o f numerous instances w h ere a d raw ing-room "- or a b a l cony h as b een l e t for five guineas. The to avenueti leadin g i nto t h e amp hitheatre curves considerably ti cast ither cast, so that persons outside could no tlook could those within see anything beyond it. The Re carriage, owing to this circumstance, was drawn into , at ! e ry centre of the arena before reaching the Palace- The effect of this was to give every one present an excellent view of the Royal cortege. The height of the VuPhitheatre is about 46 feet ; but the outside of the arch upward s of 60. The whole interior of the a mphitheatre, he re, of b e i ng h ung w i t h tapes t r y, is wainscoted, as it r „ , with evergreens supplied by different Noblemen and "entlernen for ° 4o m il e s ronnd.

" The members of the Committee will be known on this occasion by wearing a purple sash, and carrying a wand ; and it is hoped that the public at large will condescend to attend to any suggestions such members may have occasion to make for the preservation of good order and regularity. " T. H. WRIG HT, High Constable. " Town-hall, Oct. 2." The road by four o'clock presented a scene of the most extraordinary animation, all the parties to form the pro cession having left the town, and being ready to fall in at the allotted station. Among those who went, none at tracted more respectful attention than the ancient band of " bathing women." They were attired in their blue stuff dresses, and had wreaths and garlands, and each carried a small white flag ; they were most cordially greeted by all, and by none more drily and cordially than by many ladies who recognised among them the severe dippers of their morning recreations. The venerable profession of fisher men also came in for their share of distinguished notice. In fact, the numerous throngs along the roads constituted the most interesting views. The first signal of her Ma jesty's carriage being near Brighton was the elevation of a flag on the new Church, and the firing of cannon on some points of the neighbouring Downs. The sensation pro duced ran through the crowd in all directions, and ail drew up in order, to be prepared for the passing of the Royal carriage. Within a quarter of an hour after the first signal it approached. At the rural arch at the entrance of the town there were assembled many gentlemen, who sang " God save the Queen." The Royal carriage stopped during the performaace. It then drove on to the Amphi theatre, amidst immense crowds, but in the greatest order, which was secured by the barriers and the ,soldiers. At this time, it may be repeated, the appearance in the Amphitheatre was brilliant and beautiful. If its spacious galleries appeared striking and beautiful before when merely adorned with foliage, and partially filled with company, how much more lovely was its aspect when occupied with the living flowers of youth and beauty, and thronged with elegantly-dressed spectators, the greater proportion of whom were of the gentler sex. The objects which met the eye immediately and along the line of approach were, first, at the turn of the road from Gloc :!ester-place, a detachment of the Grenadier Guards lining the road, with patroles of the Carbineers to keep the way ; next were stationed the coast blockade ; while the opposite side was occupied by the Freemasons, their officers in full costume, the Friendly Societies, &c. Within the arena itself were the Commissioners of the town, with the Episcopal and Dissenting Clergy, the Staff officers of the regiments in garrison, and Admiral Sir P. Durham and the naval officers of his suite. The Admiral's hand performed at intervals within the arena, and the town band played various popular airs in the avenue. A further guard of honour, composed of detachments of' cavalry and infantry, was stationed within the inclosure of the Palace itself. The time fixed for her Majesty's arrival was shortly after four ; and her Majesty, with a punctuality most agreeable to the feelings of her subjects, very soon after arrived. The scene became intensely interesting—the vast amphitheatre was alive with animation and delight—the gentlemen cheered, the ladies waved their handkerclicfs, and as the carriage passed slowly alone., the Queen bowed in a grace ful manner, and acknowledged the compliments which hailed her coming. The Queen was seated with her face to the horses, beside her was her illustrious mother the Duchess of Kent, and the opposite seat was occupied by the Countess Charlemont and Mrs. Braude. The carriage passed slowly on, and entered the Palace gates, which closed on a scene of great loyalty and delight. Her Majesty wore a pink bonnet and a striped cachemere shawl, and looked remarkably well. The deafening shouts of the multitude, andahe splendour of the scene before her evidently affected and delighted her. A second carriage followed at some distance, in which were Baroness Lehzen, Lady Mary Stopford, and the Hon. Colonel Cavendish. It is highly gratifying to state that, with the exception of a soldier who was unhorsed, but not seriously hurt, we did not hear that any accident occurred to mar the well-ordered gratifying proceeding of this delightful day. Her Majesty was received at the Palace by the Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Chamberlain ; the Marquis of Head ford, the Lord in Waiting ; and General Sir William Lum ley, the Equerry in Waiting ; who arrived about three o'clock. The dinner party consisted of the Queen, the Duchess of Kent, Baroness Lehzen, and the Royal suite. Admiral Sir Philip Durham and Lord Yarborough dined by invitation with the Queen. Her Majesty has fixed two o'clock to-morrow (this day) to receive the Town Address. Though it is now wearing rather late in the evening, the s t ree ts are still crowded. The shops have been closed the whole day, and every thing wears the aspect of a day set apart for the purpose of rejoicing. It would appear as if care had been flung to the winds ; and of Brighton we might say almost to-night— " And oh if there be an Elysium on earth, It is this—it is this." ~►•.._ THE ILLUMINATIONS Were so general, that there was scarcely a house which did not exhibit a device or a transparency. Even the Muses were invoked, but it did not appear that the Muses of Brighton are in any way related to those of Parnassus. As, however, upon all such occasions we must take the will for the deed, we will not be captious. A specimen, however, taken from a respectable house adjoining the theatre, may give an idea, and certainly a favourable one, of the flourishing state of poetry in Brighton. It runs thus— " Hail 1 Victoria Virgin Queen, The God of gloria Bless thy reign." This is but one of many which have similar pretensions to be recorded, had we leisure to do so. The most nu merous inscriptions were—" Hail Victoria," " Welcome, England's Star," " The Queen, God bless her." Some of the decorations, however, were particularly happy. Savage's Pavilion Hotel exhibited, amongst a profusion of variegated lamps, a crown and Bible wreathed with dahlias and other beautiful flowers. Mr. Cheesman's glass warehouse exhibited the inscrip tion, " Hail Star of England," with un immense display of coloured lamps. The Club-house on the Steine, and the Royal York Hotel, had each a splendid star ; and the former had, in addition, the inscription " Welcome Victoria," &c. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite are ex pected to leave Bushy House on Thursday next, for St. Leonard's-on-Sea. The Princess Augusta is expected to accompany the Queen Dowager to St. Leonard's. Mr. George Lane Fox left town on Monday last, to join the hunt in Yorkshire. M.P., arrived in town yes- Mr. Spencer D'Horsay , terday, from the Continent. The Hon. Richard Watson arrived in Berkeley square yesterday, from a Continental tour. Lieutenant-General Sir Ralph palling is to be ap pointed Colonel of the 41st regiment, vice Lieutenant-Ge neral the Hon. Sir Edward Stopford, deceased. Lord William Bentinek, M.P., has left Vernon House for Paris, to join his lady, who arrived in that capital the week before last. Lady Howard de Walden is expected to leave Lis bon early in the ensuing week. The Hon. G. C. Norton, the Police Magistrate, has recently come into an estate in Yorkshire of 2,0001. a year, bequeathed by a lady named Vaughan. Despatches were forwarded yesterday from the Foreign-office for Lord Howard de Walden, the British Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon ; for George VAliers, Esq., the English Minister at Madrid ; and for the British Ambassadors at the Courts of Stockholm and Copenhagen. Despatches were also forwarded from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. - Her Majesty has been pleased . to signify to the Council of King's College, London, that she takes a warm interest in the prosperity of the institution, and has com manded that her haw shall be recorded as itg rutrotys4.

The Hopeful Stakes.—Two or three false starts took place before the lot got away In the successful one Lord Ches terfield's colt went off with the lead, Osprey lying second, and the ruck close up, excepting only Grey Momus, who lost start, and ran on bad terms throughout. At the two-year-old post Lord Chesterfield's colt declined, and the running was taken up by Mr. Thornhill's colt Wave, Osprey and Grey Momus following him. At the cords Osprey gave way, and the Grey was evidently in difficulty ; however, he struggled on, and passed Wave close on the post, but could not catch Mr. Thorn hill's colt, which wor. cleverly by a length, about the same distance intervening between the Grey and Wave. The others were close up at the finish. As it was generally believed that the Grey lost a couple of lengths at starting, and was not running a distance suited to his capacities, he lost very little ground in the Derby betting. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes.—Lord Exeter declared to win with Troilus, who trade all the running, and won by a ongth. The Buckcnham Stakes.—Lord Exeter's mare was never )eaded, and won easily by a length and a half. The weather was delightfully warm and dry,, and the at :endance better than bad been anticipated.

Lady Cosway is expected daily at Norfolk-house, West Cowes, for the winter. ALBANY BARRACKS.—The announcement in the papers of these extensive buildings, with the grounds, amounting to 150 acres, being about to be converted into a penitentiary for juvenile delinquents, has, we hear, led a great many old ladies to tremble at the immense increase of crime that must have taken place to require such an extensive place to be erected to receive and reform those promising youths. We hope to quiet their fears when we state that it is the hospital only which is to be fitted for the purpose, and for which 25,000/. was voted by the last Parliament, a short time before its dissolution ; it is a considerable distance from the barracks, and a wall fourteen feet high is to be built round it. Upwards of 100 men are now employed in making the alterations. NEWPORT, OCT. 3.—A vast quantity of rats were taken in a trap constructed for the purpose, in St. James's -street, in this borough, this afternoon : they were of all colours and ages, and many of them apparently in a starving con dition when they entered, and were doubtless drawn there by the most inticing baits, on which the poor things had so gorged and guzzled that for them to escape again was next to impossible. We did not see any of them that had ac tually burst their skins ; but many of them were but one degree removed from it. A fire of the most alarming nature, and which was on its first discovery so extensive as totally to defy the limited means at the command of the inhabitants, burst forth from the back premises of Mr. West, of the Sloop Inn, in this town, about two o'clock this morning. In a few minutes the whole of the buildings, which were of wood, were one mass of flame, and speedily extended to those of Miss Stephens, to the southward, and the brewery of Messrs. Eames and Son, to the northward, which being also of wood, covered with pitch and tar, scarcely a hope was en tertained of saving them, and the extensive coal and spirit stores adjoining, from instant destruction. There is but one small hand-engine in the town, to which there is neither a bucket, fire-hook or ladder ; but it was most efficiently served, and the buildings being low, the sailors, with the most determined bravery, rushed into the burning buildings with buckets of water ; the former were very plentifully supplied by the whole town, and it being, providentially, high water, and very little wind, by four o'clock the fire was got under without its having communicated to the hou s es i n the street, which had it done, half the town would have been destroyed, as when there the engine could not have commanded it. The premises are insured. A great deal of mystery was attached to the origin of the fire this morning, as no one had been on the premises for some days ; but this afternoon it is said two sailors belonging to the Phebe schooner, which sailed last evening, were seen to take some of the vessel's stores out, one of whom had a lighted pipe, and it is supposed that some fire must have fallen from it amongst the ropes and sails of Mr. Olive's yacht, which were kept in the lower store. More than 200 men were employed in putting out the fire, and by their fearless exer tions so much property has been saved that it is hoped the Insurance-offices will reward them liberally. CAPTAIN BACK'S SIIIP.—The Terror was finally beached last Wednesday, and to look at her at low water, when you can walk round her, it is really surprising how she reached land, the whole of her keel, from the 10 fciot mark, being gone. The iron plates, which were nailed to secure the remnant of her "forefoot," when she was literally perched on the ice, are now apparent. The heavy sea which she encountered off Cape Farewell on the south of Greenland, shook her very much, more than any thing since she left the ice. It is thought she may he sufficiently repaired to be towed round by a steamer to Plymouth. The Camel lighter sailed yesterday (Friday) with all the sick fur Plymouth, under the charge of Mr. Houghton, assistant-surgeon, R.N. The motive of this move is not known. It may be interesting to know that one of the sailors fell in through a weak part of the ice, at a considerable distance from the ship, while the tempe rature was minus 40 degrees, and after many attempts , extricated by means of a rope thrown to him, with a mitten attached to one end. He suffered hardly anything from it, chitfly owing to his being made to run to the ship assisted by three persons partly shoving him along, until the perspiration was pouring off them. His clothes were frozen quite stiff in five minutes. He was well rubbed on coming on board, and dry clothes put on him, and he was not confined one hour. The men on sick quarters have improved very much since landing, owing to the kind and at t e ntive care of Dr. Evans , some being almost ready to go on board agai4,-.4 , ondonder7 Slanclai SHERIFFS' DINNER. The inauguration dinner of the new Sheriffs of London and Middlesex (George Carroll and Moses Montefiore, Esqrs.), took place yesterday evening at Merchant Tailors' Hall, Threadneedle-street. The dinner was of the most sumptuous kind, the table being furnished with every deli cacy which the season afforded, and the whole of the ar rangements strongly indicated the determination of those by whom the banquet was given, to - maintain to the full extent the ancient splendour of the high civic office which they fill. The number of the guests who sat down to dinner could not have been less than 400 ; and the Lord Mayor, in conformity with the usage on all similar occa sions, presided.

The cloth having been removed, " Non Nobis Domine" was sung with admirable taste and effect by the profes sional persons in attendance. The Loan MAYOR then gave " The health of her Ma. jesty the Queen." The toast was drank with every demon stration of loyalty and attachment. Song—" God save the Queen." The next toast was " The health of the Queen Dowager," and that was succeeded by " The health of the Duchess of Kent and the rest of the Royal Family." Both toasts were drunk with all customary honours. The Lotto Ma-koa then proposed " The healths of the Sheriffs," which was drunk with loud applause. Mr. Sheriff CARROLL rose and said—As one of the Sheriffs whose health has been so kindly proposed by the Lord Mayor, I beg leave to express my grateful acknow ledgments to him for the flattering manner in which he has introduced my name to your notice, and to you, gentlemen, for the manner in which you have responded to it. I cannot, in the first place, but express the high gratification I feel at seeing around me so large and distinguished a company, and in common with my colleague, feel highly complimented by so many of our friends having had the goodness to give us the honour of their company on this day. My Lord Mayor, I feel this to be a very proud day for the humble individual who now has the honour to address you, more particularly as I have the honour to be placed in the distinguished position of one of your Sheriffs at a very in teresting period—being the first year of the reign of our Most Gracious Queen Victoria, whom I pray God to bless with a long, prosperous, and peaceful reign. And, my Lord Mayor, if there is a period in a man's life when he may be justified in an honest pride, it is when he is called upon to fill an ancient, honourable, and distinguished office by the spontaneous choice of his fellow citizens ; and I am further still deeply indebted to my fellow-citizens for having se lected for my colleague a gentleman whose private charac ter is most estimable, and whose public one is so well known as not to require any eulogy from me. I ant quite sure of his zealous co-operation with me in , the discharge of the various duties of the important office. We have had a brilliant example left us by the late worthy Sheriffs, whose seal has been unbounded. It is for those only who have known the state of the gaol of Newgate in former times to be fully aware of its present excellent state, in order thereby duly to appreciate their exertions. My Lord Mayor, it will be my pride and duty to assist the Chief Magistrate in up holding the dignity and splendour of the first city in the world, with its various charities, by a proper discharge of my duties. I will no longer trespass on the attention of my distinguished guests and friends, I therefore gratefully and respectfully offer them my sincere and cordial thanks. Mr. Sheriff MONTEFIORE said—My Lord Mayor, my Lords and Gentlemen—lf I consulted my own feelings of diffidence on this occasion, I confess I should have re mained silent, and have allowed my friend and colleague to return our united thanks for the honour conferred upon us by this distinguished company. But, as custom demands that I should say a few words, I rise to ex press briefly, and I fear imperfectly, my feelings of grati tude for the flattering manner in which my health has been proposed, and the warm and affectionate greeting with which it has been received. New to the high and important office I haVe been called upon, by the kind wishes of my fellow-citizens to fill, it will readily be con ceived that I cannot be acquainted with all its various duties.—(Hear and cheers.) But I can assure you it shall be my study to understand their nature, and choice c s o uch th a e y m h a a n v n e e r m a a s d t e o . j il t ' , y s t i e f a y r n m e y s t fe ndeavour e t n o s f u i l n fi l tl t i h e em ch i Although I cannot pretend to say that I will do what your late Sheriffs have done, still less to surpass them in their efforts to be useful, yet I hope se far to imitate their ex ample as to show nay anxiety to transmit to my successors the functions of my office unimpaired in their usefulness and its privileges undiminished in their value. Believing that it is not a political office, and yet that it has duties both to th e Queen and the public, I hope in the execution of those duties to swerve neither to the right nor the left, but on the one hand to uphold the rightful prerogatives of the Crown, and on the other to support the just liberties of the people. Called upon by the free, intelligent, and wealthy citizens of this great city to fill so important an office, I trust that I shall never be found wanting in any efforts to \ prove, that the tmoaeandyedyeetob,or uetmi.otns)se great privilege of electing their own Sheriffs may be safely entrusted to the people. May I add that in choosing the bumble individual before you to fill that office,they have shown that private character, when based on integrity, will secure public honour and respect. Nor is it less gratifying to find, that though professing a different faith from the ma jority of my fellow-citizens, yet this has presented no bar rier to my desire of being useful to them in a situation to which my forefathers 'would in vain have aspired ; and I hail this as a proof that those prejudices are pass ing away, and will pass away, which prevent our feelings from being as widely social as just ; as comprehensive in their effect as the most amiable and best instructed mind can desire. Nor can I forget, while alluding to kindly feelings, how much I am indebted to those friends who, unasked and unsolicited, proposed and elected me to the office which now gives me the opportunity of address ing uh r e r tpeol o sipnasooan t rulrkst necessary ttaaso , r:tddesopnt splendour, enhance mblnd t e i ca , ogeku t etrt o oh, i et t at h mosh e s ioua l rrh i eev maintain e ru i l y osepu t a . ueteit respectability a oasb r t ginilr%eiivtyghyli fellow citizens, again omv a w i et n yor. c w it it iz h en yo s, u i r f i c t o c t a ni n to b n e a : n m ea ad a e n n d ior s e up u p s o e r fu t l i attempt, accomplish. a nd I will trust, Thus acting, I shall hope, at the expiration of my tenure of office, to receive the only reward I seek, the thanks of my fellow-citizens and the approbation of my own conscience. Mr. Sheriff CARROLL proposed the health of the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, expressed a hope that the manner in which he had discharged the high and important duties of the office of first magistrate of that great city since his election to that elevated situation, had been satisfactory to his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) He had endeavoured at least to exercise the powers vested in him with impartiality, and although he might not be able to compete with either his predecessor or successor in ability, he would not yield to any man in a sincere desire to pro mote the prosperity of the city of London.—(Cheers.) His Lordship concluded by proposing " The health of her Ma jesty's Mhaisters." The ATTORNLY-GENERAL expressed regret that some of the Cabinet Ministers were not present on this interest- W ing occasion, and he could only assure them that they were all well disposed to accept the invitations which they hod received, if they had been able to do so. There could be no more honourabl e or important office than that of Sheriff, and althou g h Mr. Montefiore differed in faith from the Established religion, there could be little doubt 64 he would discharge the duties which devolved on !,in; with equal credit to himself and advantage to the City..--(Cheers.) He (the Attorney-General) was one of those who thought that the only qu4lifleation which should exist for such °tikes was, that the party should be a good citizen ; and he recol icct9tll witii.ne small de's 9 reQ of satisfaction, titat it WiA4 he who had brought in the B►ll—a measure that passed thmuzh the Legislature by, he might say, the unanimous vote of both Houses of Parliament, which entitled Mr. Montefiore to occupy the position which he then did.—(Cheers.) He was happy to say that the ancient prejudices, founded on difference of religious belief, wore fast wearing away, and he only hoped the time was at hand when objections on such grounds would altogether cease to operate. It was the desire of her Majesty's Government to promote such a state of things by all the means in their power ; and, for his own part, so far from injuring the Constitution, his opinion was, that it would tend materially to uphold and strengthen it.—(Cheers.) The next toast was—" The Navy and Army ;" and that wa; followed by —" The health of the Foreign Ambassadors." The LORD MAYOR the❑ gave—" The health of the Cur sitor Baron of the Exchequer." The Coasyroa BARON briefly returned thanks for the compliment which had been paid him. Mr. Fox MAULE said that he had been requested to propose a toast, and it was one which he felt great satisfac tion in giving. They all knew and highly appreciated the merits of the Lord Mayor elect, and therefore it would be unnecessary for him to say more than that he had been born under a lucky star.—(Cheers.) The period at which he was elected by his fellow citizens to the- distinguished office of Chief Magistrate of this great city, was one of peculiar interest, and it so happened that the day on which he was to enter upon the functions of his high and im portant office, was to be the same that their youthful Sove reign was to honour the citizens of London with her pre sence. He (Mr. F. Maule) had no doubt that the conduct of the Lord Mayor elect would, like that of his predeces sor, be deserving of the approbation of those who had placed him in so exalted a situation ; and he also felt satis fied that the reception which her Majesty would meet with from the citizens of London would be as loyal and enthusiastic, and at the same time as splendid, as the most staunch supporter of the throne could desire. The Hon. Gentleman then gave—" The health of the Lord Mayor elect." The toast was drunk with great applause. The LORD MAYOR Elect, in rising to return thanks, begged to observe that he could not but consider this day in any other light than the happiest of his existence. The kind manner in which his health had been proposed and drunk by all present must ever fill his heart with the deepest emotions of gratitude ; for in the humble sphere in which ho had moved, its warmest emotions had never aspired to the dignity of being elected the Chief Magistrate of the first city in the world. Still less did he ever dream that it would fall to his lot to have the honour of being the first Chief Magistrate in the first year of the reign of a Queen who lived in the hearts of her subjects, and from whose patriotic feelings the country had the best reason to anticipate an unrivalled course of peace, prosperity, and happiness.-4 Hear, and cheers.) He was, he begged to assure every one present, fully aware of the deep re sponsibility which rested upon him in the discharge of his duties ; but flanked as he • was on one hand by Right Honourable Gentlemen holding important offices in her Majesty's Governmeat, and on the other by two Sheriffs of unimpeachable character, and unequalled bene volence, he trusted to be able to discharge them with some credit to himself, and, he would fain hope, with undimi nished honour to the City which had so generously elected him, Ile had no selfish objects to gain ; and if he had, the generous burst of enthusiusm which greeted the an nouncement of his health would have utterly demolished them. He had, from a boyhood of 13 or 14, lived among his brother citizens, he had now attained a fifty years' ac quaintance with them, and he could not but look upon his election as Lord Mayor as a testimony to tried integrity— an integrity which formed the first principle of his conduct in his earliest years, and which had now awarded him an honour of which, in other respects, he was not de serving. To uphold the rights and privileges of the city of London—to discharge the duties which would soon devolve upon him as Chief Magistrate—should be the sole object of his care ; and he trusted that when the period arrived for surrendering his high and important office into other hands, it would not only be found untarnished, but its honours exalted, if it were, in deed, possible to exalt them, by a strict attention to his du ties,lind by the observance of that hospitality which it so well became the first Magistrate of the first city in the world to observe and to display.—(lmmense cheering.) The healths of the Aldermen who had, and who had not passed the Chair, having been disposed of, the next toast was, " The health of the Recorder." The RECORDER returned thanks. The LORD MAYoa then gave " The healths of the late Sheriffs." Sir J. DUKE, on behalf of himself and his colleague, re. ;urned thanks. The LORD MAYOR. next proposed " The MembLrs for Vie city of London." Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., acknowledged tb6 complimr ri t. Some other customary toasts having been dispos , :a of, the Lord Mayor vacated the chair, and the comps ~y soon after separated. BRUSSELS AND GEB,MAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—We have at this moment 269 ships in the port of Antwerp. The King and Queen arrived from Ghent yesterday evening. The King before he left Ghent, sent to the Governor a sum of 6,000 f. for the benefit of the poor. The monument erected on the field of Waterloo in memory of the late Colonel Gordon, has just been repaired at the expense of his family. M. Bressau, innkeeper at Mont St. Jean, has undertaken to look after the monument. The receipts on the iron railroad from the 20th to the 30th September were 69,000 f. 30c. The king set out yesterday morning at nine o'clock for he Pavilion of Ardennes, accompanied bf M. Conurry, :ntendant of the Civil List. PESTI!, SEPT. 22.—The Royal Hungarian 'tribunal has just delivered its sentence on the affair of Count Nicholas Keglovich, Baron Stephan d'Orezy, and others, who were guilty in 1834, at a meeting at Erlois, and on other occasions, of very criminal excesses and acts of violence. The verdict of the tribunal excites the greatest sensation, because this court of appeal has considerably increased the punishments which were awarded on the first instance by the Court of Inquiry appointed by the Government. Count N. Keglovich is sentenced to imprisonment for two years, Baron d'Orezy for nine months, whereas the first sentence was only six months and three months imprisonment re spectively. The other persons accused are sentenced to different terms of imprisonment as follows : two for eighteen months, one for twelve months, four for nine months, two for six months, ninety-one for three months, one for two months, two for one month, and one only acquitted. Most of the persons condemned are further sentenced to make good the damage done. The affair will now come before the Septemvirate Court in the last instance, which will probably confirm the sentence. The preparations for erecting our bridge are proceeding with great activity under the direction of the celebrated Englis hydraulic architect Mr. Clark and his assistants. Experiments are now making with the diving bell, to ex amine the bed of the Danube. It is said to be decided that it shall be a suspension bridge, which may perhaps 'oe the grandest and most remarkable in Europe. The Countess of I3ridgewater has presented a school master (Mr. Wilson) with one of the best houses in Little Gaddesden, rent free, in order that the children of the in habitants may have the benefit of a sound English educa tion. Her Ladyship has likewise erected a schoolhouse at Berkhampstead, for the daughters of those inhabitants who are precluded by their pecuniary circumstances in life from being able to avail themselves of any other mode of instruc tion. The Duke of Treviso has ordered a costly barge to be built at Cowes, for aquatic excursions on the Seine. It is to be sent to the country scat of the Gallant Duke, Sceaux, near Paris. The Duke of Beaufort's new mansion in Arling ton-street, overlooking the Green Park, is undergoing a course of repair and improvement. His Grace and family will occupy the new edifice early in the ensuing year. Mr. Crofton Croker, the author, and a relative of the Right Hon. Wilson Croker, has been appointed one of the Senior Clerks of the Admiralty. Tuesday night the Prince of Lichtenstein arrived at the York Hotel, Dover, from London, and at seven o'clock next day embarked on board her Majesty's 'packet Myrtle, which sailed for Calais, under a salute from the guns at the heights. Sir Edward Dering, .his lady, and suite, embarked from the York Hotel, on IYuard the Watcr Witch steamer, for Boulogne. The Prince and Princess de Sclaomberg, on their return from a visit to the Duclaer.,s-Countss of Suther land, proceeded to the villa c,o l , e d De Maintenon, in the south of France. The King of the -I'.;eilterlands has sent the Grand Cross of the Netherl' A nds Lion to the Emperor of Austria, as a new pledge of `.:ne amicable relations subsisting between the two Sovereir, os . This morning as the men belonging to Messrs. Humphrey a' wharf were proceeding to work , they were shocked, t discovering two bodies partly buried under a barge, laden with coals. They immediately commenced di4giag the bodies out, and after great difficulty they ac complished their task. Owing to the immense weight and difficult situation they were placed in, when they were ex tricated they presented a most appalling sight, as the head and upper part of their bodies were in a very emaciated state. - We have learnt that they were two brothers, named ' James and John Wright, aged nine and eleven years. It appears they were playing on the barges last evening, when they slipped between them. They were removed to St. Martin's wor4ouse to await the Coroner's inquest. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS: MIDDLESEX. Messrs. Coventry and Tamlyn held th sir respective courts yesterday at the Guildhall—Mr. Co ..enLry in the Court of Queen's Bench, and Mr. Tam:yn in . the Court 'or Common Pleas—for the purpose of revising t lists for the city of London and the Inner and Middle Temple. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) . In the list of Allhallows, Barking, the names of fifty-two gentlemen who claimed as share-holders in the new Corn exchange were objected to by Mr. Davis, on the ground that the property the claimants possessed in the premises par took of the nature of personalty, and not or freehold. Mr. COVENTRY, after referring to the dee 1 under which the parties claimed, and the nature of the objection, over ruled the objection and retained their names. In the parish of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe the names of Messrs. Wancock, Ewing, Mann, and Robinson, who claimed to be inserted as trustees of freehold houses and premises, were objected to by Mr. Adey, on the ground that they were not in the actual receipt of the rents and profits. Mr. COVENTRY was of opinion that the case came within the principle he had formerly laid down in these cases, and lie therefore disallowed the objections and ad mitted the claims. No case of any interest occurred before Mr. Tamlyn. At the close of the day Mr. Coventry, having disposed of the business fixed to be taken in his court, came into Mr. Tanilyn's court and offered, as has frequently bean done during the present session, to take some of the lists which remained over in Mr. Tamlyn's court. Mr. Gregory expressed a hope that Mr. Coventry would not interfere with those lists in which the claims of trustees would come before him for his decision ; he was anxious to have Mr. Tamlyn's decision on this question. Hereupon some smart discussion took place. WESNIINSTER. The Revising Barristers resumed their sittings yester day morning. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) Mr. M. Wesmacott, the proprietor and editor of the Age, appeared to support his claim to vote against the ob jection advanced by the Reformers. The objection was, that there was not sufficient occupa tion of the house in respect of which the claim was made, No. 2, Catherine-street, Strand. Mr. Westmacott, it ap peared, leases No. 2 under Lord Exeter, and lets out the lower part of the house, retaining the upper part, which has been united to the upper part of No. 1, also rented by Mr. Wcstmacott, by the removal of the partition wall. After considerable discussion, Mr. Wcstmacott strenu ously supporting his claim, Mr. CRAIG considered there would Le no difficulty in admitting the claim, describing the qualification as a workshop. The Learned Gentleman ac cordingly, after consulting with Mr. Mylne, decided to re gister Mr. Westmacott as the occupier of a " workshop." (Before M. MYLNE.) In St. Clement Danes parish J. Bevan and seven others, messengers in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, were objected to by the Reformers ; first, on the ground of non-occupancy with the meaning of the Act ; and secondly, on the ground that they were not rated to the relief of the poor to a suffi cient amount. It appeared that these parties occupied rooms in Lyon's Inn, which were all rated in one rating to the aggregate amount of 171. Mr. MYLNE said that it was not clear that two of the parties had been on the register before the Reform Act, and he should therefore take time to consider their ease. The objections to the other six were bad, and he should therefore retain their names on the register. (Before Messrs. CRAIG and MYLNE.) The name of Mr. Rice, clerk respectively to . the Boards of Commissioners of Land-tax and of Assessed Taxes, was objected to by Mr. Trott, under the authority of the 41st chapter of the Act it.'d Geo. 111., which declares that no surveyor, collector, comptroller, inspector, officer, or other person employed in collecting, managing, or receiving the duties on windows or houses, shall be capable of voting for Members of Parliament. The Learned Barristers, however, admitted Mr. Rice's right to vote, as it did not appear that any part of his duties. consisted in the receipt, collection, or management of those taxes. His business, it appeared, was merely - t o minute their proceedings. As to the nature of the salary, that had nothing to do with the questinn- - Cia ; :,n allowed. The collectors under the same Commi ss i oners were also objected to by Mr. Trott on the sP:ine authority. Tile Revising Barristers dele*. f red their judgment on the case till Friday or Saturday. . • The Court then adnurned at the usu a l h our till F r id a y. The Learned Banisters will sit at Guildhall this day to dispose of the 'eases which stood over. EAST SURREY. BERMONDSEY. Objections by Overseers, 8, all sustained ; objections by Reformers, 40 ; ditto by Tories, 15, and one claim. (Before Mr. TURNER.) ST. MART, BERMONDSEY. Mr. Matthew Boyd claimed to have his name placed upon the Register in virtue of property held by him as trustee for his mother, but in the application of the proceeds of which he possessed a certain discretionary power. Mr. TURNER said that he had already decided that a mere trustee, without any beneficial interest, was not en titled to a vote. He had rejected the claim of a Mr. Thompson, in the parish of Streatham, Lambeth, upon this ground. -Vote disallowed. (Before Mr. BRETT.) ST. SAVIOUR, SOUTHWARK. The name of Mr. George Brunt being on the registry was unsuccessfully objected to. ' 'Joe Tor:es. Mr. Richards, the late M.P. for Knareshorough, and Tory candidate for this borough, cl•aimed to be on the re gister in respect of land-tax redemned on certain leasehold property by a Mr. Peter Bro.dley, of whose devisees or legatees Mr. Richards had purchased the same. Mr. BRETT said that as land-tax redeemed was personal property, no right of 'voting -could be derived from it. Claim rejected. The Rev. Mr. Rose claimed to be retained on the re gistry in virtue of holding a freehold of his office as minister of the parish of St. Thomas. Mr. BRETT was of opinion that unless the salary of the minister were made a charge on some specific part of the land belonging to the Hospital, no right, of voting was con ferred on the minister. He would, however, allow the Rev. Gentleman time to show that his salary was charged on some particular portion of the land. KYAN'S ANTI-DRY-1 OT PROCESS. In our last, we directed our readers' attention to an in stance of the perfect efficacy of this process in preserving timber, canvass, and. twine from decay, as exhibited in the . specimens at the North Dock, by Mr. Lane, the engineer. We have ourselves since examined these specimens, and several others which Messrs. Ord had placed in a cellar be neath their office in Sunderland -street, aboUt the same time (April last). From a very attentive observation of these specimens, we are bound to say that more convincing facts cannot be exhibited to the eye of man to impress conviction upon his mind than are presented in these cases, in proof' of the efficacy of Kyan's process in the preservation of woody fibre. The prepared specimens, in every instance, retain their perfect colour and stre rgth, while those which had not been prepared, exhibited every stage 'of decay, and, in some instances, were re duced to a dark mould. An unfavourable impression has been made upon the minds of the shipbuilders and owners, by a report which has been circulated, of the effect 'of the process upon the iron fastenings of ships. As the subject is of the utmost importance to the shipping interest, we shall briefly notice the origin of this error, and its refutation. A ship called the Samuel Enderby, was built of prepared oak. She was employed in the whale fishery, in the South Seas, and was absent nearly two years and a half, the greater part of which time she was within the tropics. During her voyage in such a hot climate, it was needful almost daily to throw large quantities of water into her hold to prevent the casks from shrinking, which, of course, pro duced an atmosphere of excessive humidity. On her re turn, she was carefully examined, and several of her planks between the water lines were removed for that purpose, but not one instance of the least appearance of even inci pient decay could be found, although the. stanchions and the beams were formed of green oak fresh from the land. But as the iron bolts were somewhat corroded, some misjudging persons, overlooking the obvious causes of oxidation, v i z ., abundant moisture ac tin g in conjunction with gallic. acid, aided by high temperature, have imputed this effect to the • preparation the timber had undergone. The probability of such an effect being produced by the process, has not only been denied by Messrs. Enderby, the owners, but also by Professor Faraday, upon scientific principles, who ascr ibe it to the action of salt water and the gallic acid in the oak. A convincingproo . r that these gentlemen Were correct, soon after presented itself on a eurvey of the John Palmer, a ship which had been laq;ely repaired with prepared timber, and was out 3 years la the same scies. We quote that part . of themenieranduei a survey, which relates to our present subject, as given by the urvcyors themselves. " Seirer!il iron-bolts and nails were driven out, all Of which were in excellent condition, and we noticed that in that portion of the nett which was in the plank which had been saturated, the iron tvas less ant•eled by rust and wear and test tha . ti the remaininq part of the same belt which had been lodged tn the timber that was not saturated." Thus, has this injurious opinion, which has bad the effect of retarding for awhile, the adoption in this port, cf one of the most important in ventions of the age, been refuted b y an appeal to the highest I scientific authority and to f a cts.—Sunderland Herald. The Earl of Egremont was in town last week, and so well as to be able to mount his horse without assistance. Sipce then his Lordship has returned to Petvvurth.
