Yesterday the gentlemen composing the Committee for the election of of Mr. Hawes, and a number of his friends in Lambeth, celebrated the triumph of Reform in his re election, by entertaining him at a public dinner, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. The company was very numerous, the great room of the Horns being completely filled, and included a large portion of the most distinguished electors of Lambeth, Lisides several distinguished public men, friends.Of Mr. Hawes and the cause of Reform. The Chair was appropriately filled by Lawrence Red head, Esq., the active Chairman of Mr. Hawes's Election Committee ; on his right sat Mr. Hawes, Mr. Nicholson, High Sheriff of Surrey, Mr. Sheriff Illidg-e, Mr. Briscoe, &c. &c. ; on his left, Mr. Bernal, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. Allan, Mr. Weston, the Editor of the Morning Advertiser, &c. &c. The room was appropriately decorated with flags and ban ners, with suitable inscriptions, and garlands and festoons of laurel. Over the Chair was a banner inscribed " Hawes acid Reform," under which was a scroll with " Civil and Religious Liberty ;" on the ' sides appeared " Trade," " Peace," encircled with laurel. There was also an excel lent band of music, and a capital company of vocalists. The whole appearance of the preparation and of the com pany was that of triumph enjoyed with good taste wad good feeling. After ample justice was administered to the dinner, which, to those acquainted with the entertainments at the Horns, it is unnecessary to say was excellent,— " Non Nobis Domine" was sung by the vocalists in su perior style. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said he had great pleasure in proposing the " Health of his most gracious Maje.ity the King." The toast was drunk with three times three, and the usual applause. The vocalists sang " God save the King." The CHAIRMAN next gave " Her. Majesty the Queen." Drunk with three times three, and similar applause, but with somewhat rather curious observations. Song—" See the chariot at hand." The next toast was, " The Princess Victoria, the Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Royal Family." Drunk with three times three, and very great applause. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, if there VMS one reeling which the present occasion called forth more a a;raii fying than another, it was tho reflection that Lambelh was raised to its present state of importance, and its intelligence and wealth were represented by representatives of their own choice in the councils of this great nation, the first country in the world.—(Hear, hear.) This great object having been gained, there arose a new privilege to be exercised, a new duty to be performed, that of electing able and honest representatives. At their first opportunity of exercising this right, a candidate offered his services who was per fectly capable of performing all the duties of a representa tive, but he was made an object of calumny. This caused ' a pause and gave opportunity for inquiry and investigation : and the result was, that every act both of his private life, and of his public conduct, was found to have been based in honour.—(Great applause.) The electors then threw around him the mantle of their confidence, and though they had some storms to encounter, they safely carried him into the harbour of triumph and victory.—(Applause.) He then became their honoured representative, as he was that day their honoured guest. He had now been two years their representative in the Commons House of Parliament, and it was unnecessary for him to say one word on his votes or conduct, because he knew they had investigated the one, and duly appreciated the other.—(Applause.) Few mem bers evinced more talent in the discharge of their Parlia mentary duties than theirs, and the records of the Com mittees the House of Commons gave proof of his diligence and intelligence.—(Applause.) He was also most attentive to all local Acts by which his Constituents could be af fected, and to the statements of all the inhabitants of Lambeth, whether electors or non-electors. He felt happy to have that opportunity of expressing his high opinion of the merits of the Representative whose return they were met to celebrate, and of saying to him, " Well done ; for to us you have been a good and faithful servant."—(Great applause.) He would shortly return to his duties in Par liament, and would carry with him the pc riect reliance of his Constituents on his judgment and discretion, and inte grity ; that he would assist to repair • and renovate the great institutions of the country ; and ever be the bold un compromising advocate of the people's rights, and pro tector of our beloved country.—(Great applause.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing Mrs. Hawes's health, amidst applause, which prevented our catching his words. _ _ The toast was drunk with repeated rounds of applause, both loud and long. As soon as the applause had so far subsided as to afford him any chance of being heard, Mr. HAWES rose and said he was deeply sensible of the honour done him ; indeed, from the first hour of his con nexion with them as their Representative, he had been ho noured in a way that must have been highly gratifying to wiser and better men ; and he had often wished that such high honour had fallen on some one more deserving.—(No, no.) When he first appeared a candidate for the high ho nour of becoming their Representative in Parliament, he had no claim from connexion, or rank, or fortune : he came before them a simple man of business—in that character he was accepted, and their approval of hint now a second time stamped his conduct with their approbation, and that was to him the richest reward for his labour in obtaining it. —(Applause.) On his first soliciting the honour of their confidence, they would do him the justice to remember that h e mo iled to no unworthy arts to obtain it—he was even cautious of giving pledges or making promises ; he stirred up no man's passa - ans—he appealed to no man's piasiedices ; lie only.appealed to reason, and to that appeal they had nobly responded.—(Applause.) During the election they all knew everything was done with honour and good There was no riot—no trafficking in votes, and he abstained from all declamation.—(Applause.) He need Lot tell them that he was a Reformer, because the votes lie had given have gained their confidence ; yet there were times to speak out, when every representative should be plain and clear with his constituents, that they might know what they had to expect at his hands. He would then tell them that he would respect the prerogative of the Crown so long as it was exercised for the good of the people, hut no longer. —(Great applause.) And he would say, that %den the prerogative was lately exercised in the discharge of able, upright, and liberal Ministers, it was not exercised for the good of the people.—(Great applause.) The 'lion of whom that Ministry was composed were not men- unknow:: to the people ; they had been the associates of Earl Groy---one of the most liberal and enlightened statesmen that ever dig nified this country.—(Applause) In 1794, he proposed to Parliament a reform very similar to that which, as Prime Minister, he carried into effect in 1832 ; in 1307, the Minister of that Government which abolished the slave trade ; and in 1833, he was Prime Minister of the Govern ment that abolished slavery ; and one of the last acts of his glorious Administration was to make the education of the people a national object. And if they looked at the statute book, and saw the amelioration of the laws that had taken place during the four years of his Administration, would say that he deserved well of his country. Lord Mel bourne's Administration followed in the steps of Lord Grey's in improvement. He hoped they were not to be called De structives, for if they were he was a Destructive.—(Hear.) And what, he would ask, had be to gain by destruction ? His fortune was scattered over every county in England in the shape of commercial credit, which the slightest com motion in the country would indeed destroy. But he was not a Conservative, and, ergo, he must be a Destructive. He wished to abolish every abuse, and place all the valua ble institutions of the country 'on the affections of the people for support.—(Applause.) Who wielded the powers of Government for fifty years, and brought on all the danger with which we are threatened ? Not the Destructives— they were not in power. Not the Whit —they were in power but four years. No, it was the misgovernment of the former fifty years that caused all the present anxiety and peril.—( Applause.) The danger was imputed to re form ; but what was now put forward as a ground of con fidence in Ministers ? Why, that they were Reformers. —(Great applause and laughter.) They published ad dresses—they made after-dinner speeches—they issued com missions—and they say " We are reformers."—(Great laughter.) He wished to pay respect to some of the pre sent Ministers. The Prime Minister had worked long in the service of the country, and effected improvements in - the laws, for which he offered him his thanks. Another Minister had sustained the glory of the country in arms, for which he tendered him his thanks and gratitude ; but he could not afford to be more than grateful ; . and when they took credit to themselves for being Reformers, he must say they were not honest public men.—(Hear, and immense applause.) He could only compare them to a man who gazed on his neighbour's house and property : he saw his premises convenient, his goods abundant, and in demand ; and by the simple rule of " Let those take and THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The buildings which have been appropriated to the accom modation of the two Houses of Parliament are rapidly ap proaching towards completion, and will be quite ready some time previously to the day on which the writs are returnable. We yesterday had an opportunity of again inspecting the alterations, and we do not hesitate to state, that only more had been done than could possibly have been expected, but it has been done in a way that must elicit universal approbation. - - THE HOUSE OF LORDS. r An erroneous paragraph has appeared in all the London and provincial newspapers respecting the new throne. There will not be a new throne, and the one which is to supply the place of that splendid article of furniture which was destroyed by the late conflagration is not as yet erected. It is the one that was built for George IV., when Prince Regent, and which was erected in the Gold Room at Carlton-house, and there used by that monarch on state occasions. It has of course undergone considerable alterations, and has been newly ern! bellished. For instance, the Prince of Wales's Plume has been superseded by the Imperial Crown, and it has been en tirely new gilded. It is considerably smaller than the one we refer to, but in taste of architecture by no means inferior. Parts of it have been already conveyed to the House, but it will riot be put up until the latter end of the ensuing week. The seats appropriated for their Lordships are not as here tofore fixtures, but are made of solid and beautifully grained English oak, and covered with superfine crimson cloth. When the new houses are completed, these will be removed, and more substantial or more elegant furniture, it would be diffi cult to imagin e . Th e s id e ga ll er i es , w hi c h are erected on the chastest principles, are also painted in grain to correspond. The accommodation below the bar for members of the Com mons who attend to bring up bills, is even superior to what they enjoyed in former days. An additional space of 4 feet has been added to that portion of the house, and at least 150 gen tlemen may attend on these occasions in future without incon venience. The accommodation for the gentlemen who attend to re port the proceedings for the press has also been consulted, with an alteration which does honour to those upon whom the management of these arrangements has devolved. In this room (the Lords') their places will be similar to the last—that is, the entire of the front seat of the gallery has been appropriated exclusively to them. To this they will enjoy great facility of ingress and egress, and a broad wri ting-board or desk is erected for their use. In this re spect, however, the Lords, although there they will have nothing to complain of, have not, as will be shown hereafter, gone so far as the Commons. The house is remarkably light in the day-time, acid at night it will be illuminated with seven splendid chandeliers, sus pended from the ceiling, all of which are ready to be put up. The Royal entrance, which will in future be open for the accommodation of Peers, remains the same as before ; but in stead of proceeding to the Painted Chamber (now the House of Lords), his Majesty will proceed at once to the Library, LONDON, TIRTRSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 18'35. which, it will be recollected, was fitted up for the temporary purpose of proroguing Parliament since the catastrophe which has rendered these extensive alterations indispensable. This apartment has been much beautified, and extra shelves have been erected which will hold at least 2,000 volumes more. This nearly adjoins the new House of Lords, and a passage has been opened which leads direct to the Throne. expressing their grievances, have been driven to seek for re dress in open rebellion. Hence the battles that have been fought between the people and the military at Paris, Lyons, and Grenoble—the blood that has been spilled, and that has flowed like water in the streets—the massacre of old men, women, and children, hurried indiscriminately to the same fate at the point of the bayonet—and the many hundreds of houses battered by cannon, or burnt down by rockets. Of the excesses which have disgraced these sanguinary encoun ters, take the following testimony, as expressed by the Quar terly Reviezo:—" Do the English know that in consequence of an enteute in April last, a massacre was perpetrated in Paris by the troops of the line, under the special excitement of their officers, which was, under all its frightful circum stances, as horrible as the massacre of the Abbaye ? th a t th e dreadful scene took place in the night of the 3d of April, and that now, in the month of November, there has been neither justification for innocence, nor punishment for guilt, nor ven geance for blood 1" _ _ _ And all this, Sir, has taken plaee since the glorious Revo lution of 1830, which the people achieved in the hope of being freed for ever from the trammels of despotism and the abuses of power. Never on the face of the earth was a nation more basely and cruelly disappointed by the Government they had raised, and in whom they had placed their confidence. But the moral lesson this bitter disappointment conveys will be turned to some account by the French. They know now what Kings are, and how worthy of trust. They have tried Mo narchy in all its varied forms, and Princes of every degree, in the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis XVIII., Charles X., and Louis Philippe—they have always found in the regal power—whatever might be the hand in which it was vested—.a leaning to despotism and selfish gratifications—a contempt for the rights and interests of the great mass of the people. Be not surprised, then, if when another Revolution take place in Fonce—an event not very distant, there is e ver y reason t o think,—that people prefer a Republic to a Monarchy, and an elective Chief to an hereditary Ruler. This I know, that, whenever they feel inclined for a Republic, they will not stand aghast at the dread of the Holy Alliance. A. G. THE ARMY. ( From the Limerick Chronicle.) The second battalion, Rifle brigade in Ireland, are to relieve next summer the 79th Highlanders, in Canada, ordered home. The Jupiter troop-ship has sailed from Cove for Ports mouth, with invalids of the 95th, and other regiments in the Mediterranean. The Jupiter landed the 42d Highlanders at Corfu from Malta in less than four days. The 89th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Jones, and for some time past quartered in Fermoy garrison, received orders of readiness last week to proceed to Naas. The order of route has since arrived, and the left wing, consisting of three com panies, marched on Wednesday. The remaining companies, with head-quarters marched on Thursday and yesterday. The 95th Regiment replaced the 89th in Fermoy garrison. On Monday evening last, the sergeants of the 94th Regi ment gave a ball and supper to the sergeants of the 89th in their mess-room, Fermoy barracks, previously to the latter leaving for Naas. The sergeants of the 29th depot, and those also of the squadron of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards in Fermoy, were invited, and attended. There were upwards of 200 non-commissioned officers present. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Whatever has been said of the chastity of the decorations, and the convenience of the accommodations in the Lords, ap plies with equal, if not greater, justice to the new House of Commons. This building, even as it now appears, is perhaps one of the most elegant specimens of taste that can well be conceived. The scats, which are built of the finest oak, rise on a gentle acclivity, the two at the lower end of the House being appropriated to such of the Members of the Upper Cham ber as may be desirous of attending the debates. They arc all covered with green Spanish leather. This House. is lighted by nine chandeliers. Then, the Reporters have a gallery ex clusively to themselves, and a small room will be devoted to them for the purpose of waiting for their turns and writing out from their notes. This gallery is immediately behind the Speaker's chair, so that they will enjoy the advantage of hearing distinctly the various members who address the House, who will now of necessity turn their faces towards tham, in stead of, as before, their backs. The galleries are erected with simple but most graceful elegance; and it is altogether as superior to the old House, both for appearance and utility, as it is well possible to conceive. It was in contemplation to devote the house, No. 6, Old Palace-yard, lately occupied by Sir George Rose, fur the purpose of Committee-rooms; but on mature survey, it was found that the apartments were but ill-qualified to afford the indispensable accommodation. It was also discovered that the damage sustained by several of the old ones was not so extensive as was at first apprehended. They have for the most part been already repaired, and it is in contemplation to take offices in Parliament-street to supply any deficiency that may be found to exist. The expense of these alterations must of necessity amount to a very conside rable sum, but it will not be found eventually to press so heavily on the country as at the first blush it might appear. All the seats, decorations, &c., are completed in that substantial man ner that they will be removed to the new buildings when they are completed. THE INTENDED NEW HOUSES. Sir Robert Smirke'has, we understand, already submitted a plan to Government for erecting new Houses of Parliament on the present site. This eminent architect *posed to build them on a line with the banks of the river, and for that pur pose to take down the old Exchequer Offices. There is abundance of area for that purpose, and we are assured that if his suggestions are approved of, the new buildings will form cne of the most splendid public works in this or any other kingdom. The front is to face the Thames. This plan, we are informed, has already received the unanimous approbation of Ministers, and will be submitted to Parliament, which of course must vote the necessary sums. Of their willingness to do that but little doubt can be entertained. The buildings we have already described will then, as a matter of course, be appropriated to purposes necessarily connected with the ac commodation of Parliament. It is calculated the new build ings will take three years to complete. The number of visiters has been very great during the last few days. POLITICAL STATE OF FRANCE. (We copy the following spirited article from the Morning Advertiser.) Sir,—ln commenting on the recent events of the French ' political drama, you have expressed your unqualified indigna -1 tion and contempt for the proceedings of the Doctrinaires, both with regard to constitutional principles in general, and the liberty of the press in particular. But the feelings which the shameful practices of nhose men called forth were unmixed with astonishment, for you could not well be surprised at their being consistent with themselves ; that is to say, at their act ing conformably to the political profligacy which they have magnified into a system. There is an unflinching persever ancer in evil-doers which strikingly contrasts with the feeble ness of purpose often exemplified in the service of a better cause; not that they possess the conscientious firmness that belongs only to real honesty, but because they make up for their deficiency in that respect with unblushing assurance. And, strange as it may sound to your ears, Sir, those very Doctrinaires boast of their being disciples cf the English school of politics. They are forsooth most deeply versed in the precedents of your constitutional history—they have been at the pains of writing I do not know how many books to ini tiate the French people into so useful a knowledge—and, were I to enumerate the mere titles of those lucubrations, it would turn the columns of yeur journal into a Parisian book seller's catalogue. They have taken to pieces, cut in a thou sand shapes, and dressed up in all the variety of a continental garb, every one of your political historians, from Lord Cla rendon to Hallam. In a word, they offer themselves to our admiration as English scholars, l and politicians, and statesmen. But, Sir, we are told we must look to measures, not to men. Let us sce how far the public acts of the Doctrinaires will bear the test of examination. Their purpose, they say is to implant in the French soil, furrowed by the revolutionary ploughshare, the principles of your English mixed monarchy. Now, have they actually done this, since they have possessed the power and means of effecting it ? I say they have not ad hered, in one single act of their public life, to these princi ples; ltt up b to the but that mockery the o yhave t. c t o h n e w sta o n r t l l d. y violated them, and held tie Good God I will they be so barefaced as to call a temperate fnriootunarticlhoyntelioaptieroec;Aultefsrsompo. an army u s r v m hi y ch of, l v o f o or k u s rtoh f ku o en r ed; s fe n td p h p th e p r o t eu , asca n en o d : • by which the French are (billed men—that military despotis.- , into -constitutional habits, and tonne e. e ~. When we come to look into the component parts ... thiss Y s 4 teill__ of selfish rule, what do we find ? The King, in Engia..-, . 15 the head of a free people—in France he is the battling oppres- ' sor of a discontented nation. In England the monarch can do no wrong, because he cannot interfere in any way with the government of the country— in France he has the benefit of the same privilege, with unlimited power over the affairs of the State. In England the King's Council of State—but I will not insult your Ministers—however bad they may be,_ with a comparison which would place them on a level with a board of registering clerks, truckling to that power they were sworn to controul—and assuming, if not the responsibility, at least the disgrace, of all the misdeeds of their Royal Master. What shall I say, Sir, of the French Chamber of Depu ties? I ask you if that House represents the feelings, the in telligence, the industry, the wants and interests of a people who stand so high among the civilized nations of Europe? No, they have no community of thought with the great body of the French nation. Chosen by a kind of close corpora tion—consisting of about one hundred and seventy thousand privileged electors, scattered all over the empire, but united by the common bonds of interest—they represent only the most selfish and worst feelings of the country. Hence it is that they uphold the unprincipled policy of the Government— an oppressive load of taxation—the profligate expenditure of public money—the custom-house laws—and monopolies and abuses of every kind. You know, Sir, there is such a thing as a French Chamber of Peers. Though alive to the importance of that most ho nourable House, I feel embarrassed to give you a proper defi nition of it. It partakes of the nature of a popular assembly, and a senate of nobles, without having the generous indepen dence of the first or the natural dignity of the secend. It is a motley compound of men notorious for having either served or betrayed some, if not all, the Governments 'that have lorded it over France for the last fifty years. The French Peers, when decked out in all the embroidery, stars, ribbons, epaulettes, and aiguilettes of state, present to our view a most instructive and amusing sight, inasmuch as they are the most exact and comprehensive chronological records of former times and governments. Yet this mixed assembly is looked upon by our Doctrinaires as a bright counterpart to your Eng lish House of Lords I Such a system of despotism could only be established in violation of the King's solemn promises, and in defiance of the existing charter. Louis Philippe and the two Legislatures have succeeded in destroying, not at one fell swoop, but by degrees—not on the very onset, but by the slow working of the basest means—all the rights and 'liberties of the French nation. Restrictive laws have been made against clubs, asso ciations, and public meetings : the people are forbidden to as semble without a license of the police, if they exceed twenty. No citizen, under the severest penalty, is allowed to keep any kind of arms in his possession, unless it be for the sports of the field or the occasional duties of a national guard. All the legal restraints which protect individual liberty have been trampled to the ground. The Quarterly Review, that sworn apologist of aristocratic misrule and kingly despotism—is re duced ,to confess that, at this moment, there are more gaols and state-prisoners in France than at any period of her history, except the short reign of Robespierre. Many hundred indivi duals have been incarcerated, adds the Tory journal, under circumstances of illegality and severity, which the annals of the old Bastille cannot surpass. There are laws, too, which forbid the singing of popular ballads, or the hawking of newspapers in the streets without a special license. The Government has waged an incessant and merciless war upon the liberty of the press. There is not a newspaper of any note for political worth which has not been prosecuted —no political writer of a manly spirit that has not been visited with heavy fines and severe imprisonment. At the time Paris was declared in a slate of siege, to crush a partial revolt, they would actually have given over the editors of the National and the Tribune to be tried by courts-martial, had not the supreme tribunal of justice, the Court of Cessa tion, claimed for those writers the protemion of the civil law. Another paper, of very extensive carcula'on ' the Bon Sens, —the bold and uncompromi s i ng a d vocate o f the rights and in terests of the people—has been assailed, ever since it was established, 'with unrelenting attacks and persecutions, at the hands of the PrVa de Police, who, in affairs of this descrip tion, can only be considered as, an organ o.f 'the Government of whom he is a subordinate member. During the last four years there have been more than six hundred indictments di rected both in Paris and the departments against the daily press, for alleged attacks on the King's'persim or Government. The French people being deprivpd of all the ' legal means of THE HAREM OF THE PACHA OF EGYPT. The following is an extract of a letter from an American lady resident at Alexandria, who, during her resort to Cairo, in September last, was favoured with the extraordi nary privilege of a visit to the Sultana and the Harem of Mehemet Ali : " We are the only Christians who have ever been ad mitted into the Pacha's Harem. We were there twice. The first was a mere visit, but the second was to spend the day. I must endeavour to describe it to you. At the gate we were received by a dozen black eunuchs, who led us to the garden-gate, where we found three girls playing upon different Arab instruments, while two others were singing and two dancing, magnificently dressed in crimson and blue cloth, embroidered with gold, the full pantaloons hanging over the foot, just allowing an embroidered slipper to be seen ; a jacket tight to the shape, with out sleeves, open a little upon the chest, where ap peared a chemise of blue or white gauze ; closely spangled sleeves of the same, hanging large and full to the elbow, and down behind in a dozen plaits ; and on the side and top of the head large sprigs of diamonds. A sash of gold tissue, with a deep gold fringe finished the dress. These pretty creatures preceded us to the palace door, - where we were met by old friends by the Sultana, her maids of honour, and attendants, to the number of one hundred at least. The great hall of state into which we were ushered was an immense one, lined and floored with white marble ; in the centre a basin, fifteen feet in diameter, from which the clearest water was playing ; the ceiling richly painted and gilt ; one side of the hall lined with ottomans of white silk embroidered in gold, and a beautiful Persian carpet spread in front of these. As soon as we were seated, coffee and pipes were handed to us. The Sultana is about thirty-five years old, with a fine face, though her eye is stern. Her dress was a challi, made in the Turkish style, only more closed over the neck. On her head was a sort of skull-cap, formed entirely of diamonds ; around this was twisted an embroidered kerchief, and on the left side down the ear was placed a sprig of flowers, made of e vr r: irut h: h n d e i a a , m g e o v : i n t d t : e s r . never enormous diamonds, a single pair of ear-rings, shaped like a drop, as large as the end of my little finger, and on her . finger was a superb diamond ring. Around us the nu: deed attendants, dressed in coloured silks, of the lowest rank, with head littlestoo z u v l er e ed v saw be):::. pipe staves and sockets of the coffee Cups were also cover with these precious e. An Arme stones. nian woman, who spoke Italian, was there a: an inter preter. Our gloves and buckles excited their admira:jon, as indeed did our whole dress. • We were taken all over the palace, which vied throughout in elegance with the great hall. At half-past twelve we were led by the Sultana down to the reception-room to dinner. As we entered, girls bearing silver basins, approached; others, with pitchers, poured water over our hands, and others presented us with towels. On the centre of the Persian carpet was placed a small table, about a foot square, covered with cloth of gold tissue ; on that was a circular glass-waiter, about three feet in diameter. In the centre was a dish of roast mutton. The Sultana sat down with my mother and self on either side of her, then E- and G-, and a lady of the Court, formerly a slave of the Pacha, but now married to a Colonel. The china was French, and handsome silver knives and forks, &c., which the Sultana did not know how to use. When we sat down, a napkin was placed in each of our laps, another embroidered with gold laid over the right shoulder, and a third and finer one laid upon the lap to wipe the mouth with. Some of the slaves fanned us ; some held the different dishes, and others silver pitchers, and so on. The dinner was almost too much for us :we counted thirty-nine different dishes, one at a time, and of each we were obliged to eat a little—and so strangely served as they were ! The first five dishes were of mutton, rice, &c. ; then a sweet dish, next fried fish and nuts, and so on to the thirty-ninth, which was stewed rice and bonny elaber. The glass salver was then taken away, and a silver one with melons, peaches, grapes, &c., replaced it. Whon we rose from table, the girls with the basins knelt before us and our hands were washed as before, when pipes and coffee were given us to finish with. While we smoked the Sultana retired to prayers, which she does five times a day. Now if you could have witnessed the scene you would have imagined us among a parcel of great chil dren. Oh, how we were dragged about, patted and pulled, each declaring we belonged to her, and should not speak to the others. At three o'clock we were sent for to depart. The Sultana held us tight, however, and said the Capudan Pacha had no business to send for us, and it was four o'clock before we could get away. We made a great pro cession through the garden : first went the musical, dan cing, and singing girls ; then the Sultana and ourselves, slaves bearing fans of peacock feathers over our heads, and then came the attendants. At the garden-gate sherbet was handed, when we took a kind farewell of our hospitable Sultana, and were consigned to the care of the eunuchs, who led us to the carriage." EXTRAORDINARY MUSICAL CAPACITY.—A Paris paper contains a curious account of the musical capacity exhibited by an old woman of 60, who had from an early age been an inmate of Salpetriere (a receptacle for lunatics). A young actress of one of the minor theatres of Paris having be come an inmate of the asylum, was impressed with the idea that slut was representing some character, and sang, danced, and recited by turns. One day the old woman, upon hearing the actress sing, beat time with wonderful precision, and ap peared highly delighted. The moment she heard an air she was able to retain it, and could hum it over when asked, although she could not speak ; and, what is still more extra ordinary, an individual having sung over an air which he had composed off-hand, she caught it instantly and repeated it. An air having been played to her upon the piano, she seemed quite enraptured, and appeared to appreciate the most striking passages with the taste of a finished musician. The head of this woman is said to puzzle the phrenologists, for, so far from havin g the ()Tail of music strongly marked, she is totally destitute of it. ynyte d -i --_-eidvhocanhaLame pa or, C said r:::://7 -,., I will suppl ? stomers, it is n o ma tt er t o t h em b y whom th e y e s plied."

The great supporter of liberty, Milton, had saLd, " Grievances exist in every commonwealth ; it must be admiited there is no state or condition of men without them ; but ii complaints be freely heard, deeply considered, and speedily redressed, we have attained the utmost bound of civil liberty, and no wise man will desire more." He would act in conformity with this sentiment. He would apply practical remedies to practical grievances ; but he would not injure the frame work of the constitution, because he thought it capable of conferring as much happiness on the people as any of which we have experience.--(Hear, hear.) The re medy for grievances should, however, be as speedy as pos sible, after the existence of the grievance was proved.— (Hear.) He would again beg to offer them his warmest thanks for the high honour they had conferred on him that day, and also in electing him their representative. During the whole of that election he had not one paid agent— (hear)—not one to call on an elector who was not as inde pendent as the elector on whom he called; this he felt was a proud thing to boast of.—(Hear, hear,) At the last elec tion the number of electors was 800 less than on the first, and yet he polled nearly the same number.—(Hear, hear.) He said that it had been said, that a valuable friend of his who had taken an active part in his election would not de vote so much of his time to the cause unless he were paid. In whatever mind the calumny originated, it was as base as the imputation. All his friends had served him disinteres tedly—his friend against whom the charge was made, was as free from all contamination of money for his services, as the most upright man in that company, or in the country. —(Hear, hear.) He saw his feelings had their sanction, and that they responded to the justice of his observations, and their approbation showed the estimation in which his friend stood in their regard.--(Hear, hear.) Many seemed to think that because they triumphed gloriously over their opponent and his cause, that their zeal and activity might be put down to a desire to overthrow the institutions of the country ; but every one of his supporters, though a reformer, like himself, was opposed to republicanism and revolution. As a man dependant on trade, it was his opinion that nothing was wanting to the happiness of this country but peace at home, which we could only have by a Government acting in unison with the people.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think that they need be anxious about Reform, for it must go on ; and though it still bears the signs of the storm, yet he hailed it as a symbol of peace ; and if the people go on in peace, they must get a Government that will attend to their wants and wishes—trade and commerce will increase, and agitation will subside ; but never would agitation cease while power was weilded by the opponents of Reform and good govern ment.—(Hear, hear.) Again he offered them his thanks, in a spirit as independent as their own. He would watch over their interests, but would never sacrifice the interests of the country. He would never be their slave, but would be, as he had ever been, independent ; and only wished to be employed in their Service for the common good.—(Hear, hear.) He had mad; it a rule, since lie became their representative, to make them acquainted with every important measure brought into Parliament. One most important measure—imprisonment for debt—he caused the Bill to be circulated amongst them, and took pains to collect their opinions ; yet they were not given, from which he concluded that they wished him to act on his own judg ment. He thought the measure would improve the coun try, and it had his hearty wish for its success. He had also circulated the Poor-Law Amendment Bill, but was left without a single opinion on the subject, till the debate on the second reading was going on. Was it to he supposed lie could then alter his views ? He heard what was said to him with great respect ; but he felt himself obliged to vote in a contrary direction. He thought it a good Bill, and was happy to find that it was working well. He had written to all the vestries in the borough, and found that not a single objection was made to the working of the Bill. That Bill wasa great triumph of reason over the prejudice raised by a hireling Press, that endeavoured to stifle one of the most beneficial Acts that ever proceeded from any Ministry. If he remembered any part of his conduct in Parliament with peculiar satisfaction, it was his support of that measure ; and he was happy to see two gentlemen present who had laboured in the same cause, and used the power of the Press in the cause of reason, justice, and humanity.—(We believe the Hon. Gentleman alluded to two gentlemen connected with this Journal.) —They had new the satisfaction of seeing that they had achieved a great moral victory.—(Hear, hear.) He felt more deeply than he could express for the honour conferred on him by Isis kind friends, indeed, he was overwhelmed by a sense of obligation, but he hoped to be able to prove that there was no honour he prized so highly as their approbation, and there was no labour lie would not undergo to evince his gratitude. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst applause that appeared as if it would never end. Mr. Fitzwilliam sung, " The March of Intellect," which called forth a deal of laughter and applause. The CHAIRMAN said he had to propose the health of a gentleman, which they would all drink with great pleasure —" Mr. Nicholson, the High Sheriff of the County," whose office expired that day ; he had discharged all its duties with honour to himself, and satisfaction to all. He was descended from liberal ancestors, was himself an enligh-: tened friend of freedom, and came amongst them that day because he sympathised with their opinions and feelings. The toast was drunk with great applause. Mr. NICHOLSON returned thanks. He regretted that, owing to the duties o f hi s office, he was obliged to remain for the last twelve months a mere ,eipher in the great struggle in which they had been engaged. He had ceased however, to hold the office of Sheriff that day, and he beg ged to congratulate the meeting, the Reformers of Lam beth, on the choice they had made. They had heard pro mises from the Tories of liberal measures of reform. He was sure that none of those he addressed would be deceived by those promises. He said it without fear of contradic tion, that every blessing of a. political kind had been con ferred on the country for years, had been showered on it by those men who had been so ungraciously expelled from office. (Loud cheers.) And those men who had through the whole of their lives been the opponents of those measures, were new claiming to themselves, or were about to claim for themselves, the credit of the liberal measures for which they were indebted to the late Ministry.—(Loud cheers.) Even the Premier hhaself wished to rob Sir Samuel Ro-, milly and Sir James Mackintosh of the credit to which they were entitled for the measures of reform in criminal j o eisprudence which those distinguished individuals had been tiie chief instruments in effecting.—(Loud cheers.) B e f ore sitting down, he begged to propose a sentiment which be sva.l sure would meet with the cordial concurrence of the meeting. He (Mr. Nicholson) was a Dissenter ; and though the Dissenters had of late 3 ears gained a great deal, they had not yet obtained all they wished, nor all they were entitled to.—(isoud cheers.) He would, therefore, propose " Civil and Religious Liberty."—Drunk with en thusiastic applause. . The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Mr. Bernal, Chairman of ;the Committees of the House of Commons. There was not a more honest or worthy man in the House. . —Drunk with three times three. Mr. BEItNAL, in rising to return thanks, said he felt he . owed them an apology for intruding on them.—(No, no.) He begged to return them in few words his most sincere thanks for the honour which had been done him. He, like the last Parliament, was deficient.—(Laughter.) There were to be resurrections : he hoped whatever resurrections should take place would be in favour of the cause of liberty. —(Loud cheers.) One advantage which'his situation as Chairman of the Committees was, that he was thereby enabled to watch the conduct of other Members ; and he could say with the most perfect sincerity, that he watched with the greatest satisfaction the conduct of their worthy Member, Mr. Hawes. He was most deserving of their choice as their representative.—(Loud cheers.) The Re forniers were called Radicals and Destructives : he had no objection to the titles, if by them was meant the correction of errors and the destruction of abuses.—(Loud cheers.) What object could the 300 respectable gentlemen as sembled on that occasion, and in that room, have in the destruction of property ?—(Cheers.) Long may they live to return Mr. Hawes to Parliament, and long may he live to fight their battles in that place.—(Loud and long-con tinued cheering.) Mr. ALLAN, late candidate for Southwark, proposed the health of Mr. Illidge, Sheriff of the city of London, which was drank with much applause. Mr. Sheriff ILLIDGE returned thanks. Holding the situation which he had the honour to fill, it would be un becoming in him to appear as a party Man. But while he filled that situation he would perform the duties of his office without fear and regardless of favour.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave the health of Mr. Crawford, both as a merchant and Member of Parliament. Mr. CRAWFORD returned thanks. He felt extremely gratified at receiving an invitation to be present that day.

He believed he might say that it was his (Mr. Crawford's)lot to act as often with Mr. Hawes as any two persons ought to act together, who did not act in concert. He (Mr. Craw ford) thoughtlit:was matter of deep regret to the country that Lord Melbourne's_Administration had not been per mitted to meet the House of Commons, as the nation would
