Captain Elliott has recently received promotion, and is appointed to the new frigate Spartan, 26, at Plymouth. The Britannia, 120, was left at Malta pre paring for the homeward voyage, and may be looked for in the early part of October, Considerable bustle is occasioned at this port by the equip ment of so many ships and vessels for foreign stations.

The patient, under the care of his father, is making rapid strides to convalescence. —Bristol Mirror, •• - - The following additional and interesting . particulars of the opening of this line, with the account of the dinner given to the Directors, are copied from the Brighton Gazette of the 23d inst. : On Monday last the entire length of the London and Brighton Railway was opened by the Directors, who made their first trip with a train of three first-class carriages, in which they arrived at Brighton about half-past two termo' c v l o hi ck enu , f;s a ,) n l Ir d, oellt, a ui f nr li in e r da s t p f e i c v t e i n o g , e t l c e k . w t • or r Lon a d t t n h . e Brighton Brighton of the fir n :t °l p l a li s i s 'g en % g v . i e t r ne t s r s a ec i l n t t h o e It started at a quarter b efore seven ; b ut, ow i ng to t h e t d h e e pa m r t e u t r r e op f o ro li t s n . unpleasantness of the weather (a dense sea-fog, which approached a l most to rain, prevailing), only a few pas sengers availed th emse l v e s of the opportun i ty o f ma ki ng the first trip to town by railway. The new or last finished portion of the line is in excellent order ; and notwith standing that we, from a conviction of the great benefits which the railway will bring to Brighton, have always • been ready to believe in the most favourable reports of the progress of the works, which our own observation, moreover, has enabl e d us frequently to verify, we were not prepared to find the work in the highly finished state in which we discovered it to be on oar Tuesday morning's visit. In fact, with only one or two ex ceptiom, the last portioa of the line is finished and cleared up in a manner superior to what is observed on some lines after they have been in operation for several years. These exceptions are the ornamental facings of Clayton tunnel, which are not yet quite completed, the mouths of the Hayward's Heath tunnel, and a little trimming in the ex tensive and difficult CO iii gs on either side of the last named tunnel. _ These are carried on manner as to offer no impediment at any time to the free passage of the trains ; and a few weeks will see their completion. At Clayton tunnel the north face is nearly finished. It is buiit of stone, formed at top into battle ments; and has a beautiful effect from the turnpike-road, as well as from the railway. The finished condition of the line admits of few ob servations, no salient points presenting themselves for remark. We cannot, however, pass over the exten • sive embankment on the contract of Mr. Thornton, where (alleged) " insuperable difficulties" presented themselves twelve months since, owing to the re peated slips of the only materials at hand for form ing the embankment. These difficulties have been overcome by the use of a different earth, which the contractor was subsequently enabled to obtain ; and the road is now perfectly. .solid. The slips, which were lateral and not, as erroneously imagined by some, sinkings into a marsh, have now become perfectly dry, and are nearly as hard as stone ; and the greatly extended base consequent upon the slips has, both in appearance and reality, added to the security of this embankment, which, it would perhaps not be out of place to mention, ia one of the largest on any - railroad yet constrilblecl. ..• During the day the up-trains contilitie4 Jo run at the ,times specified, performing their journies wiffiO,reat punc tuality. The first three up-trains all started from!Brigliton before the arrival of the first down-train. The dt.A:f . arttire of all these was witnessed and applauded by many '6olie inhabitants of this town ; but the most , interwtifitg vat of the day's proceedings . was th,o-ativriVal of the firsC l London train, containing .thetDirectors, who had been invited by the inhabitaift to one of the most splendid banquets ever givetiwin Brighton. This train was pro pelled Ilyittro of the Company's engines. It was a mixed train and consisted of thirteen carriages, thr ee of the first class being appropriated to the use of the Directors and their friends, and the remainder were completely filled with passengers in the regular mode of railway traffic. On passing the different stations, all which were decorated with union jacks, and other flags and ensigns, the train was loudly cheered. At Hay ward's Heath, Mr. Rastrick, the engineer of the line, who had accompanied the Directors to Brighton on the previous day, and remained there to make the last ar rangements for the conduct of the next day's traffic, took his seat with the Directors, and the train then moved on towards Brighton. It was in the newly-opened portion of the line that the spectators were most numerous ; and from Hayward's Heath to Clayton, several miles of country seemed to have emptied their inhabitants, who fringed the railway on either side. At the Hassocks' Station, the only new one on the line, many hundreds of the inhabitants of' Hurst and Ditchling had assembled, dressed in holiday garb, and all welcoming, by their plaudits and smiling countenances, the first transit of the metropolitan visitors through their neighbourhood by Means of the railway. The northern entrance to Clayton tunnel, to which we have before referred, was generally admired. On this occasion the tunnel was lighted, at long intervals, by torches. We understand that preparations - are on foot fur lighting it with gas, in the same manner as the tun nels at Balcombe and Merstham are lighted, a procedure particularly desirable, owing to the greater length of the tunnel. Frees Preston to Brighton, the train passed between crowds of spectators, who filled every space adjoining :he line, from which a view could be obtained. The field at New England, westward of the line, was also densely crowded ; and the same was the case with the New England road, where also a great number of carriages and flys, 100 at least, were drawn up in file. Proceed ing onwards to the terminus, we observed the whole of the beautiful sheds, the iron roofs of which have been so much admired, densely packed with thousands of fashionables and the mast influential of our inhabitants. From the gable of the centre shed were sus pended a lar ge fl ora l star an d a b anne r inscribed— " Welcome to Brighton." At the moment the train reached the terminus, the band of the Scots Greys, the performers at the Concerts d'Ete, and the town band, struck up " God Save the Queen," the amateur vocalists singing the National Anthem, verse and chorus, alter nately with the instrumental music. A large number of the inhabitants also lined the foot path leading over the hill from the terminus to New England ; and the neighbourhood of Trafalgar-street and Surrey -street was tilled with respectable persons, who were excluded from the terminus in consequence of the applicants for tickets being so numerous that the terminus would not contain them. In the evening a fete took place at the Royal Gardens, in celebration of the opening of the Railway. There was a grand display of fireworks by Jones, and the company was numerous. Several of the tradesmen also illuminated the fronts of their houses in honour of the event. The building of a London terminus for the Brighton line, altogether distinct from the Greenwich line, part of which the Brighton trains at present traverse, is proceeding rapidly. Most of the arches are already completed, and a portion of the ballast has been laid for the rails. One of the most important benefits which the railway must secure to the town will arise from its becoming the grand route between London and Paris. The Rouen Railway is reported to be progressing most satisfactorily; and the only novelty in a recent report of the Directors is a complaint that the Shireholders supply them with a superabundance of funds! • THE DINNER. On the same evening the dinner given to the Directors of the Company to celebrate the opening of the line took place at the Old Ship, where upwards of 200 gentle men sat down at half-past six to a sumptuous entertain ment provided by Messrs. Cuff and Strachan. The viands, wines, and dessert were most costly; and the table was loaded with delicacies. E. H. Creasy, Esq., presided (in the absence of the High Constable from illness) ; on the right of the Chair sat the Chairman of the Directors, J. Barman, Esq., D. Maclean, Esq., J. U. Hastrick, Esq., Major-Gen. Hodgson, Captain Beauclerk, T. H. Robin son, Esq., N. Smith, Esq.. and th e rema i n d er o f t h e Direc tors; and on the 12ft, G. Derby, Esq., M.P., Capt. Pechell, M. 1 4., I. N. Wigney, Esq., Major Hobart, Lord William Hill, and other officers of the Scots Greys, W. Seymour, Esq., G. Basevi, Esq., Major Allen, &e. The band of the Scots Greys was stationed in the gallery, and during the dinner and at intervals in the course of the evening played some of their most admired pieces. On the removal of the cloth Non nobis Doinine was sung by the amateur vocalists ; and silence having been then proclaimed by the toast master, After the usual loyal toasts had been drank with enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN said he had to announce the receipt of letters from Mr. Fuller, M.P. for Sussex, stating that he was prevented by a death in his family from being pre sent; from Sir John Rennie, stating that circumstances rendered it impossible for him to attend; and from Mr. F. Cooper, kept away by indisposition. W. SEYMOUR, Esq., then said --I have the distin guished honour conferred upon me to offer to you the great toast of the day.—(Hear, hear e ex g p r r e e a s sted.l n)y I h H w hi c h h as b een j sentiments already, entsfull as uponst completed, l e you,to l ic of the delight of t h e inhahitants of Brighton; and I should have been most g l a d if anot h er u most co t he o subjecttd know, Brighton man had been selected whom we all admire, and whose abilility would have done credit to Brighton arid given gratification to this assembly ; but I only learned this day at two o'clock that it was not practicable for him to-attend. I am quite sure, how ever, that I shall receive indulgence from. all Brighton and Sussex men ; and, inasmuch as this day has made Brighton part of London, I trust our London friends will give to me the same ind ulgence.—(lleac, hear.) Our object here to-day is to congratulate the Directors and ourselves on the finishing of this glorious work.—(Cheers.) They have surmounted immense difficulties. The evi dence given before the Committees of the Lords and Commons for days, and weeks, and months, nay, for years —(Hear, hear)—shows the great ph ys i ca l d i ff i cult i es they had to encounter. It became necessary for them to overcome almost the four elements combined of earth, air, fire, and water ; but of this I will say but little, since the victory over them belongs rather to the engi neer, who will be the subject of a separate toast. It is utterly impossible that a great undertaking like this should not meet more difficulties than could be anticipated, and re quiring the highest courage to bear up against. When we recollect that the Directors had to contend with the mighty struggle which even now shakes the nation—that they had to encounter difficulties of finance, and that in addi tion to all other difficulties they had the difficalty which was set forth in a maxim of 1600 years old, and sanctioned by subsequent experience, that in many men there are many minds," and that one motive in many of thorn is self interest, they might be forgiven for utspairing. But the Directors of this Rail way encountered all, and they succeeded; and the least we can do is to thank them, and wish them health and happiness,--(Cheers.) The men of Brighton, feeling this, have invited them to this feast ; and they, with their usual urbanity and kind ness, have accepted the invitation. They are now here by their ; own railroad, and we may now say that Brighton and 'London are never to be separated again. The Pri:ne elqini.ster of this country, in citing a work of Sir William Jones very recently, said that Sir William was once asked who was the greatest man ; and his, answer was" The best." And when he was asked who was the best, he said, " the man that has deserved most of his fellow men."—(Cheers.) I say, then, look to the Directors of this Company ; and when you recollect the difficitties which they have had to encounter, the diffi culties which they have overcome, and the advantages which they have conferred upon Brighton men and upon London men, and I believe upon all the world, we are entitled to say they have deserved %yell of their fellow men, and this day we thank thew.—(Loud applause.) Another difficulty which they had to encounter arose from impediments which were pur posely placed in their way, but this also they by zeal and perseverance overcame ; it required the gigantic powers of a Watt to make a steam-engine and to move it, but a boy might impede it. We are now met to congratulate the Directors on having overcome all obstacles, and to thank them for the benefit they haveconferred upon us ; and if it be said, "Will you give them only empty thanks—empty praise ?" my answer is, "Me give them all we give to heaven for the great benefits showerett doe n upon us, namely, our thanks." 7 —(Cheers.) I now. propose to you —and I hope, gentleman, the steam is up—(Laughter)— the health of the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway, and success to their undertaking.—(Loud applause.) The toast was 'loudly applaUdecL and -dranirwith' fete times flour, and " one cheer. more." Mr. HARMAN then rose and said he was called upon to discharge a most pleasing duty, which, however, he approached with great diffidence, inasmuch as he feared it would be impossible for him, in adequate language, to express the feelings of his brother Directors on this occasion. The very nature of their undertaking led the Directors, when the line was first projected, to look to Brighton for support—(Hear, hear)—aud they were not disappointed ; they received from Brighton that support for which they looked. As they progressed in their undertaking, they found what might very naturally have been expected, that so great a change as was likely to be wrought in the town by a railway communication with the metropolis, was viewed with different feelings. They were not surprised that such should be the case; but they were quite sure that the day was not far distant, when everyone who felt an interest in the success and welfare of the town would hail the success and prosperity of the railway as their own.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was difficult for him, after the very eloquent man ner in which the toast had been introduced, to follow it as he could wish ; but if he failed iu saying what he ought to say, they would not believe it was from a want of good feeling, but from a failing of nature. No thing could be so grateful to the Directors of' the Lon don and Brighton Railway as the reception they had that day met with from the inhabitants of Brighton.— (Hear, hear.) The Directors had become, as it were, Brighton men—(Hear)—their interests were the interests :of Brighton, and to have been received as they had been Net day—to see the inhabitants, one and all, come out to greet the first arrival by steam, and to have the toast received and welcomed as it had been by this highly respectable meeting, had been most gratifvinee He hoped and believed that the undertaking which they had met to celebrate would lead to many and vast improve ments in this neighbourhood ; and he could ,net but think that the completion of the railway, if they only tools advantage of it, would open to them a vast channel of prosperity. He was looking, and with some anxiety, to Brighton becoming the direct communication between the two great capitals of the two greatest kingdoms on the earth ; he had attended a meeting here where he saw something like a prospect of the construction of a floating breakwater off the town, which would enable vessels to come in and out at all times c f the tide. The project, he believed, was capable of being carried into ef feet; it only wanted the energies of the people ,el Brighton and the Directors of the Railw a y t o carr y it 'ont.--(Leud applause.) He begged the meeting not to mistake his meaning ; let not the people of Brighton be deceived by supposing that the Directors had funds at the it eani mind for such a purpose ; but this lie begged to epee that they had influence at their command, and where they could exert that influence to the benefit of the town, the inhabitants would always find them ready, to do so.— (Applause.) He must be permitted to trespass a short time upon the attention of the meeting. When lie looked to the way in which the Directors h a d endeavoured to make their Railway a most convenient mode of communication to all parties, he was quite aware that in carrying a work of this kind to completion, there were so - many difficulties, so many interests to attend to, that it was impossible to please all, but lie wase anxious to take an opportunity to explain what the Direct e tors had done. The Directors considered the traffic to come to this town a very superior traffic ; theYSAed at Brighton as one of the first watering-places in the king dom—(Haar, hear)—they looked at it as inviting the most respectable, the highest families in the kingdom to come to it at certain periods of the year. He be:ioved the season which was the most fashionable was near at hand, and in their arrangements the Directors had endeavoured to give accommodation to that class of persons to travel to Brighton with the greatest comfort, and they had accordingly adopted the plan of having first-class • trains, not with a view of shutting out any parties who might wish to travel le; them, far from it, but with a view to benefit the town, for which they had been led to believe that without mak ing a distinction they might give umbrage to those per sons who brought most wealth to the town. Therefore they had first-class trains, and mixed trains to carry both first and second-class passengers. The plan was a new one; it was open to improvement, and the Directors by no means considered it as a final arrangement.—(Hear, hear. hear.) Their object was, and had been, to give the best accom modation to this great town and to the partic s who were in the habit of visiting it. He would not detain them longer on this topic; but he might perhaps be allowed, after the observations of the Hon. Gentleman who intro-. duced the toast, to carry the meeting back to the period when the formation of the line was first projected. At that period they were surrounded by difficulties to which lie need hardly do more than make an allusion. After the termination of the Parliamentary contest, which some Honourable Gentlemen present had reason to re member, for the Directors drew pretty largely on their attention—after they had obtained the Bill, they met with difficulties such as few other Companies ever had to contend with. They had endeavoured to take that straight-forward course which public men ought to take ; they endeavoured to do justice to those who entrusted them with their capital, as well as to those whose land was taken for the purposes of the line. They had never de viated one iota from that straight-forward course. The observations of those who had their own reasons for con demning them, they treated as they deserved. As pub lic men, the Directors were not insensible to public re marks and strictures ; but the remarks of those who took every possible means of upbraiding them were despised.— (Hear.) Had they for one moment suffered themsc kves to be drawn away from the course which they pursued—had they allowed the various stigmas that were attempted to be fixed upon them to have weight—had they been faint hearted, they might have given up their Bill ; the town might now have been without a railway— the Directors might have been he could not tell where.—(A laugh.) He remembered when the Bill was before the Committee of the House of Commons, seeing a print of their deep cutting at Merstham, with the Duke of York's monu men t in the middle of it, representing the undertaking as a perfect farce ; he remembered hearing men who ought to have known better, who had a character at stake, give evidence against the Direct line ; and if the Directors had not had the most implicit confidence in their engineer —(Hear, hear)—the line would most probably have been aban doned. But they had confidence in their engineer ; and he was proud to say that that engineer had done all he told them he could do.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The course taken by the Directors appeared also to have gained the confidence of the Shareholders ; for he was bound to say, that upon all occasions the Di rectors had been, in a most extraordinary manner, backed by them. They had had not only one Act of Parliament, which he believed was not the case with any other railway in the kingdom ; they had only one set of shares ; they never issued half shares or quarter shares ; and they had.never sold their shares at a discount.—(Cheers.) The Directors had pursued the course which honest men ought to pursue ; and they had that day received the reward of honesty. He must now beg to say a few words on the merits of the gentleman who had conducted them through all their efficultiss he must bear testimony to that gentleman's unbounded exertions, his great talent—(Hear)—and his eternal per severance—(Cheers)—for such difficulties as lie had to contend withwere not easily overcome. What was the course of their engineer, when difficulties which could not be fore seen overtook him? He (Mr. Harman) gave him credit for great foresight; but there were difficulties which could not be foreseen, and when they arrived what did he say? He did not say, " We have got into difficulties we can't overcome; where shall we go? what shall we do?" but he came and said, " A difficulty has occurred which could not be foreseen, and I will tell you how to over come it. It is a matter of expense ; give me the means, and I will remove the difficulty.' —(Heer, hear.) The Directors did give the means ; he overcame the dif ficulty, and they were now met to celebrate the event which it was foretold could never be completed. Others who thought better of them than these prophet., had said the work might be done in ten years—(A laugh j —their en g ineer said lie could compl e t e th e work i n three years, and it was an extraordinary fact that exactly three years from the day the first spit of earth was dng, they opened to the public the first portion of the line.—(Bear,) That was a very recent occurrence, A short two or throe months ago; and to-day they had opened the whole, line, Mr. Harman proceeded to remark that the exertions of the Directors had been long, and he believed honest; and he said publicly and fearlessly that lie never was eon m eted with any set of men who were so anxious to do their duty; he had never met with a propri e t ary who had greater confidence in their Directors and he believed their reward was at hand. It was difficult to speak of themselves, and lie hardly knew what to as on the pre= sent occasion. He believed he must conclude the few observations which he had made by borrowing a few . words from a celebrated poet:— • " Some chord in unison with what we feel Is struck within us, and the heart replies." I (Loud applause.) Mr. POLKA RD (the Deputy Chairman)—Equally titled with the previous toast to your warmest reception is the one which I have the honour to propose to your consideration ; for of what avail would the anxiety, energy, and capital of the Directors and Proprietors of our Railway have been, had they not selected for their engineer a gen , tleiaen who stands pre-eminent in the scientific world for his professional talent, unwearied assiduity, and firmness of mind ? When this vast undertaking was submitted to the consideration of the public in juxta-position with other projected lines, it was pronounced by eminent en gineers of that day to be impracticable, nature presenting such obstacles on the line of country through which it was to pass, which no human skill could surmount. The master mind of Mr. Rastrick repelled their assertions as fallacies—(Loud applause)—and he staked his pro fessional reputation, not only on the practicability, but on the successful completion of the London and Brighton direct line of railway.—(Cheers.) That he has most nobly carried out his superior scientific views, the occa sion of our assembling at this festive board is an incon trovertible demonstration.—(Hear.) When we consider that only three years back the Act for forming the line received the Royal assent, and but two years have passed away since the inhabitants of Brighton as sembled by thousands to witness the laying the foundation stone (by myself, as Master of the Lodge of Freemasons) of a structure, the first commenced on the line to London, and which now forms one of the brightest ornaments of our town ; when we reflect That since that period moun tains have been tunnelled, embankments formed, and deep cuttings excavated ; I am justified in stating that the ai4,l , e c tapiesi in the exe c ution of th e s t u p en d ous appettllTilef indeed. Nekt in succession as de serving cur approbation, are those professional gentle men who have had the honour to act under Mr. Rastrick in superintending the execution of the works ; several of them are well known to myself and fellow townsmen, and are justly esteemed for their professional talent and good citizenship.—(Cheers.) If we turn from the engineering department to the office of the Directory, we shall find that the services of Mr. Thomas Wood, the Secretor . ), are deserving of cur com me nd a ti on ; f or zea l, promp titude, and gentlemanly attention have marked his official career.—(Cheers.) If we come nearer home, and view the ofhcial appointments at our terminus and the Shore ham branch, we must perceive that Mr. Dean, and the gentlemen under him, are courteously active in promoting the comfort and accommodation of the public, —(Hear.) I am fully sensible that the observations of so humble an individual as myself must be but of little moment to a gentleman of such high standing in the paths of science as Mr. Rastrick ; but, Sir, I feel proud, as a tradesman of Brighton, at having the opportunity to express my honest opinion of his exalted merits, and the grateful sentiments of my fellow-townsmen, for having by his unparalleled skill and indefatigable labours completed a work which dawns with the brightest prospect of prosperity to our highly-favoured town. I feel assured, Gentlemen, that the warm re c epti on y ou w ill give to the toast will abundantly compensate for the de ficiency of the proposer, and prove to the gentlemen who are the subjects of it how highly we esteem them for their talents, and for having completed so stupendous an undertaking.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. RASTRICK never in his life rose with prouder feel ings than he did on the present occasion, to return thanks for himself and those joined with him in the compli ment; and he believed they would all remember, as the proudest moment of their liver, the present occasion, when they had been invited to partake of such an entertainment by such an assembly. Few gen • tlemen in the room could imagine the difficulties which the Directors and himself experienced, when they first accompanied him over the ground which now forms the London and Brighton Railway. It took them four days to complete a mere inspection of the line ; they were frequently up to their knees in mud, then making their way through brushwood, or forcing their way through the forest. It was little more than three years sines they first put spade in the ground ; and now they were met to celebrate the opening of the en tire line. Mr. Rastrick proceeded to contrast the state of engineering science at present with what it was at the time the Duke of Bridgewater constructed his cele brated canal. On its being suggested to carry a canal over a river by means of an embankment and aqueduct, only 30 feet high, one of the most scientific men of the day, who was consulted by the Noble Duke as to the practicability of the plan, replied, " I have heard oft-mild ing castles in the air before, but I never till now was shown the place where they were to be built." The cut tings on the Brighton Railway were immense, many of them being 80 or 85 feet high, and one at Merstham 125 feet ; and the difference of level in one mile of ground, from the top of Copyhold Hill to the bottom of the valley Of the Ouse was no less than 180 feet. From the first to gibe last he had had the support of the Directors, who in all his difficulties assisted him to the utmost extent of their power; and he was happy to state that the line was at this moment in excellent condition. There might be some little places where, by and bye, a little subsidence would occur, and a little reparation would be required ; but he said that, taking the line from the Brighton terminus to its junction with the Croydon line, it was as perfect a work as almost any railway in exis tence. The distance from Brighton to London was by the railroad 503- miles ; and that distance they now ac complished in an hour and three quarters. Com paring this with the five and six hours of the stage coaches, it might be expected that the increased faciity of intercourse would cause a much larger number of •visitors to come to Brighton, and much benefit must arise in consequence. Seine years ago a French steamer came over to Brighton with the Mayor of Dieppe. who was said to have remarked, on seeing the magnificence of this place, that it was a town of palaces. He (Mr. Rastrick) said it was the Queen of Watering Places ; and he believed it would now be visited ten times as much as ever it had been. Mr. Rastrick concluded by thanking the meeting for the compliment paid to himself and the officers of the com pany, and was loudly cheered as he resumed his seat. Song by Mr. Davidson—" My grandfather was a most wonderful man." Major ALLEN, after an eulogium on the late Lord- Lieutenant of the county, the Earl of Egremont, pro posed the health of his successor in that office, " the Duke of Richmond," who trod in the footsteps of the late Earl, and discharged the high a nd i m po r t an t ditties of his situ ation with honour to himself and satisfaction to the county. his Grace was a promoter of the arts and sciences; and those gentlemen who had witnessed his exertions in the House of Lords as Chairman of the Committee which se cured to Brighton the advantages of this railroad, the opening of which they were commemorating that day, would give him the most unqualified praise. —(Hear.) After some further remarks on the excellence and vir tues of the Noble Duke's private character, Major Allen concluded by proposing the health of the " Lord Lieute nant of the county, the Duke of Richmond."—Three times three. Mr. GOODALL proposed " The High Sheriff of the county, Sir R. Hunter."—Drank with the three times three. Mr. G. DRairsTER proposed " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese."—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Earl of Surrey," a nobleman whbse condescending kindness had endeared him to every inhabitant of Brighton who had the honour of being introduced to him, and who had sent a fine.buck for theirfeast.—(Cheers, three times three.) Mr. C. WIGNEY proposed " Colonel Clarke and the officers of the Scots Greys, and thanks to them for the use of their band "—(Loud applause)—eulogizing their services at Waterloo, and their gentlemanly demeanour in private life. Major lionAnT, in the name of Colonel Clarke and hia brc ther officers, returned thanks. It was always their study to make themselves agreeable wherever they went ; and they hoped the inhabitants had been pleased at their in troducing the band for their amusement. This railroad was a delightful thing for the soldier, who formerly had the services of his charger only, but could now leave Brighton, breakfast in London, spend the day with his friends, and return to his barracks in the evening. He remembered being with his regiment at Chich es t er ten years ago, when a railway from London to Brighton was talked of, but only to be laughed at; yet they had now met to celebrate the completionof this great undertakin g . Mr. IsAncsoN propo se d " The health of the mein lam s . for the eastern division o f t h e county," which was loudiy . applauded, and dr un k w i th three times three. u a l rf l br e ov r i,ns r ) e h g me r i e on t sg t t e p d r t e h se a n t t tl o i n e d th e i a s th oo o c f n a sio re n - .

Mr. W. FuRNER proposed the health of the "Borough Members," in doing which he adverted to their services with regard to the Railway Act. Captain PEciSELL returned thanks for himself and col league. It had been observed, he said, that there could not be a greater satisfaction to man than the conquest of dif ficulties which at the outset appeared insurmountable. The Railway Directors had vanquished obstacles which were said at one time to be beyond their reach, and which one of the most eminent engineers in the country bad de clared could no t b e overcome , excep t by the assistance o f a miracle or s o me enormous p ower not yet known. gallant Captain then spoke of the projected breakwater,h which lie said was tlieleg i , i ti way, and remarked that f Bri g hton the grand comm between the twounieation legitimate te the ffsPrioffspring completion oft Q of Rail ,t the Railway and the construction of a harbour at , , capitals should be] height togil of Brighton, that town wo u ld probably attain a prosperity beyond the mos t gnt o s a ng ui ne expectations. ' Colonel VERNER remarlcitmtlattec on the he was a Memberßri h of the House of Ooinino»s R a il wa y Bills, and that a friend having req ues t e d h i s support for one of the competing lines, he replied that Ire could not pledge himself to any line, but that, after he had heard the evidence , he would give hi s vo t e for that line which appeared to him entitled on public grounds to the preference. He attended accordingly, and heard the whole of the evidence, not absenting him self a single day ; and he then voted in favour of the direct line.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WIGNEY, who had sat down, rose again in obe- MORNING SUN. cience to a call made upon him by some persons preser:: and bfialyaddressed the meeting, expressing his plc sure at seeing so large a party present to celebrate the completion of a work of such vast importance to the town of Brighton. Mr. ILtnMAN then said it fell to his lot to propose a toast in which he heartily, concurred. In the first place, he wcs called upon to pay.,that respect which was due to their Honour able Chairman, and he was sure that there was no gentleman present who would not concur with him in paying that respect.-- (Cheers.) With that toast he had the honour to couple " Prosperity to the town of Brighton," with which was necessarily connected the prosperity of that great undertaking in which he had the honour to be concerned. The late period of the evening prevented him from going into the subject, but he would repeat his conviction that the prOsperity of the town and the prosperity of the railway were so intimately eon fleeted, that one could not prosper without the other. The CHAIRMAN said no one present lamented the absence of the High Constable more than he did, especially as that absence was occasioned by illness; for the High Constable would, as a matter of course, have filled the Chair, and received the compliment so kindly paid to its present occupant. It was most gratifying to him ~(Mr. Creasy) to receive that compliment from one whom he had so long known and so much reason to respect as Mr. Harman, who had now, he might say, become an inhabitant of Brighton. The inhabitants had endeavoured to give the Directors the warmest reception in their power, to show their feeilng with regard to the great benefit which they had conferred upon the town ; and although at the other end of the line, the Directors might have a more splendid banquet, they would never have a more hearty welcome.—(" Hear," from Mr. Harman, and cheers.) This was the first time the inhabitants of Brighton had ever came forward to give a public dinner to any man or any party; and they never could have such another opportunity. The Chairman then thanked the proposer of the toast for coupling his name with , Prosperity to the town of Brighton," and the meeting for the kind manner in which they had received the pro position.— (Cheers.) After some other toasts, Mr. HARMAN proposed the health of the " Deputy-Chairman." Mr. FOLKARD proposed the last toast of the evening. • "The Ladies," after drinking which, the Chairman and the principal portion. Q£4,lle company took theirdepartgat,e CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips ap peared for the defence. It appeared that the prosecutor carried on business as a horse cloth manufactu.er in Hackney, and had another establishment in Fenchurch-street.

The prisoner's business re quired his presence at the manufactory in Hackney, and the book in which the cash received by him should be en tered was sometimes kept in Fenchureh• street, and sometimes. at the manufactory ; but he had a private cash-book, in which he should enter all the monies received. The books were produced in Court, in which the sums form ing the subject of the charge should have been entered, and the 1 several persons preyed having paid him the - money.

On the following day he some and offered the miniature-frame to pawn, but the shop man refused to take it in. Mr. Linwood again entered the witness-boa, and, amidst roirs of laughter, informed the Court that the prisoner came to his shop, and pledged the miniature-frame to one of his shopmen. The prisoner, who maintained the utmost sang froid during the trial, and cross-examined the witnesses with much tact, denied all knowledge of the property, and said he never saw t ither the prosecutor or witness-s before. A verdict of Guilty having been returned, he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Upon the seri:ence being pronounced, the prisoner laughed i- a jeering manner at the Common Serjeant, and walked care les,ly from the bar.
