noble capital of Scotland without a thrill of gratitude and pleasure. I shall love while I have life her people, her hills, and her houses, and even the very stones of her streets ; and if in the future works which may lie before me you should discern—God grant you may—a brighter spirit and a clearer wit, I pray you to refer it %A to this night, and point to that as a Scottish pas sage for ever more.—(Loud cheers.) I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me, and I drink to you all with a heart as full as my glass, and far less easily . emptied, I assure you.—(Great laughter and cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Lord Provost and Magistrates of the City," which was acknowledged by the Lord Provost. _ The CROUPIER then rose and said, I beg leave to ben the few observations which I have now to lay be- I for/ you, by repeating a remark of the Chairman, which must have struck every one as well founded—l mean as to the .peculiar time which has been chosen to receive our distinguished guest at a public entertainment. His visit to Scotland necessarily fixed the period. But even had thera been no other reason, I presume to think the time hes been happily chosen, because, in these clays of turmoil, we can all meet here, not merely as in a truce, but on the common ground of generous sympathy and admiration ; for our illuitrioue guest has struck a chord to which every generous besorn must respond. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Although the toast as signed to me is, I am sorry to say, a memory, it is not a memory of that kind which is likely to interfere with those feelings of generous enthusiasm and admira tion which throb in the heart not only of every Scots man, hut of every man of sentiment and feeling. The time has now passed away, when the memory of Scott Mould be received with saddened brow. It is now un necessary to receive the annunciation of this toast with the stifled murmur of the muffled dram. It should ra ther be sounded by the loudest blasts of the trumpet of fame, re-echoed by every rock of his native land.— (Great applause.) We return after the lapse of time to the nomination of that great man, as the worshipper of nature revisits the scenes of his early association— " Unwearied in that service, Rather say with warmer love— Oh, with far deeper zeal of holier love."—(Cheers.) Of the merits or Scott, it would be presumptuous and idler for any man to talk at the present time. When he arose, although the soil had yielded some fruit in 'fiteraeure and science—although we could boast of Robertson, ind Hume, and Smith—although we could point to one -wondrous boy, who, in glory and in joy, had followed his plough upon the mountain side—(Applause)—still the rugged soil was but ill cultivated. It was left fol•._ Scott, however,-to make of our rugged rocks a bloefaing garden, "in which immortal amaranths and palms abound." By the power of his early poetrs he drew aside the veil by which our misty mountains were concealed from the eye of the stranger. As a writer be roused the noblest sentiments of the chivalry of the olden time. As a delineator of Scottish charac ter, he has made all our virtues, all our follies, and perhaps our vices—but with a kindly hand, open and known to the world. If, however, it be idle to praise him as a writer, it is still more idle to speak of him as a pri vate individual in his " own romantic town." That great and good man, who had spread benevolence and kindness around him, has been lost, not only to the so ciety of Edinburgh, but to the world. His spirit, how ever, still lives amongst us—it hovers over us at this hour. With a dissection perhaps unexampled, all his thoughts and actions have been laid bare to the world ; and has he not stood the test ?—(Cheers.) Of all his qua lities, perhaps his generosity of character, and his utter want of jealousy of the works of others, were the most remarkable. With what enthusiasm and cordiality would the author of Waverley have hailed the ad 'vent of the author of the " Pickwick Papers."—(Great applause.) With what delight would the author of " Kenilworth " have greeted the author of " Oliver Twist ;" and with what keenness would he have looked 'with his piercing eye to see " Humphrey's Clock" about to strike again.—(Hear, hear.) To compare Mr. Dickens with Sir Walter Scott would be to insult both your un stantlings and his own taste and feelings. But this at least I will say, that he is a faithful follower in the same path. His writings are characterised throughout by the same fresh and ceaseless admiration of external nature, the same kind and generous sympathy with all the noblest and best feelings of the human heart, the same tenderness and truth, and the same powerful anfi quick discrimination of character. It would indeed be delightful to see brought together some of their best creation. I should just like to see assembled in one association Caleb Balderstone shaking hands with Sammy Weller—(Laughter)—Davy Gellatly jumping with delight to meet his brother Barnaby Budge; and to observe with what sympathy and kindly affection poor Jeanie Deans would have looked upon the unfor tunate Nelly.—(Loud and tremendous cheering.) Or to take another illustration in a comic vein, if he could have got a peep into Do-the-Boy's Hall, can you have any doubt that Dominie Sampson would have exclaimed " Prodigious !"—(Great laughter.) This, it may be said, is a strange way of proposing a memory; but I am sure you will all beleve it proceeds from no want of respect for the glorious name of Scott. Such a feel ing can exist in the breast of no one, least of all in that of any individual whose pride it is to have taken by the hand the most illustrious man of his age and country. Let us imitate him at least in the spirit of genuine hospi tality, in the admiration of genius from whatever quarter it comes, and in veneration for all that is good and great. I know not whether the toast should be drank in solemn silence or with acclamation ; but I think it will not check the enthusiasm with which it has been received should some of my friends comply with my re quest of following it up by the heart-stirring glee of Roderick Vich Alpine Dhu.—(The toast was then drank with applause ; alter which a party of gentlemen com plied with Mr. Robertson's request.) Mr. ADAM BLACK, who, on rising, was loudly cheered, said—Mr. Chairman, the subject which has been en trusted to me is one of such boundless extent., and reaches so far back into the dark recesses of antiquity, that it might have deterred even a learned doctor from making it the theme of a toast. I suppose, however, the Committee thought that a member of that craft which has been said to drink their wine out of the skulls of the learned, was bound on this occasion to attempt to acknowledge his obligations to his benefactors, by giving the " Universities of Great Britain and Ireland."—(Loud ' cheers.) But it is not particular classes only that have been benefited by the Universities of our country. The benign influence of literature and science and morality has flowed from them through all the ramifications of society, advancing civilization, promoting the arts, and elevating the character of the country.—(Cheers.) The venerable Universities of Oxford and Cambridge can boast of having continued diffusing the light of science for 200 years before the earliest of our Scottish Univer sities was founded.—(Cheers.) To Oxford belongs the transcendent glory of having educated, and placed in the Chair of Divinity the man who shook to its foundations the spiritual despotism which then enthralled Europe, and who first opened the fountains of Divine truth to his countrymen by translating the Scriptures into the mother tongue—the intrepid Wickliffe—in defence of what he considered truth, braved that power before which the proudest of our Kings quailed.—(Loud cheers.) The English Universities are entitled to the distinction of more magnificent colleges, more wealthy endowments, and a greater host of learned Professors and alumni ; but I hope I shall be excused if, either from ignorance or national partiality, I give the preference to the more re cent end less richly endowed Universities of Scotland, especially to that which is the pride of our own city, which numbers among its professors our distinguished. Chairman—(Loud cheering)—and other names illustri . -ous not only in Britain, but in the world of literature, and the chairs of which have been occupied by a succes aion of great men, who have raised its reputation to the highest pitch, to be transmitted, we trust, with undimi nished lustre to future ages.—(Cheering.) Nature has denied to Scotland a genial climate and a fruitful soil— but she has been richly compensated by the educational advantages of her schools and Universities, which have raised the character and intelligence of her inhabitants so as to fit them for stations of the highest responsibility in every department, and they are fouud in every quarter of the globe promoting their own respectability, an d benefiting the human race by the practical effects of the science and literature derived from our educational . institutions.—(Loud ch eerin g .) It is the glory of thatthe Scottish Universities, that they are open to all ; none are excluded by sectarian tests—that the terms of admission are so easy as to render them accessible to he humble ranks—that the sons of the small farmer and the mechanic are seen to vie with the sons of th e wealthy landlord and the Peer for Unive te rsity f distinction s —(Cheers)—that the prejudice of cas thgowt adepts and e s ents and townsmen—is almost unknown ; and the other sections of the population are so blended together, as not only to live on friendly terms, reciprocating their information, so that the be but, by benefits of the University are spread among the other members of thQ community.—(Renewed cheers.) We I c o o b n i .. - .- son, when a student at the University of Glae r o t l n, sulting with Watt, the mechanic,—ench :vests 1 „ ; the other in hrhyeing to maturity the wondrous inv.ei'itieft)nte which are nowgaiiling such iacaiculable power over ter, and promoting to such an astonishing extent commercial. pursuits of the world — an exten t which is yet unknown.—(Protracted cheers.) But I fear that if I have the honour of speaking in the presence of any natives of the Emerald Isle, that they may complain that I have not done justice to Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I beg, however, to assure you, Sir, that if I am to blame on this head, it is not intentional, but solely because I cannot do her that justice which she deserves. — (Cheers.) If she possesses but one University, and that only acquired about four centuries after the esta blishment of the great English Colleges, yet her histo rians claim for her the honour of having been the Uni e-ersity of Europe during the early ages of Christianity, and the claims aro not unfounded ; for the number of learned and holy men whom she furnished to the world a that time, earned for her the honourable name of the Isle of Saints- —(Cheers)—and as her population has greatly in creased, we are warranted in calculating that her phi losophers and saints, though occasionally a little uproari ous, have multiplied at least in the same proportion. — (Great laughter and cheers.) As I have trespassed so long upon your time, I must draw to a close by giving, not the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock. but the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland.—(The toast was drunk with all the honours.) Professor ALISON returned thanks for the honour con ferred on the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland.— (Cheers.) He was sure they all knew that their distin guished guest was an adept in the science of human na ture, which was akin to moral philosophy. He possessed one quality which medical men might envy—the power of solacing a n d soo thi ng th e t e di ous h ours o f sickness and disease.--(Loud cheers.) He was sure that one and ail of them w ere h a ppy i n h av i ng t h e opportun i ty o f paying homage to the genius of theirdistinguished guest, and of expressing th e i r grat i tu d e to hi m for the great amount of finnocent amusement which he had conferred hi countr),r he might say many millions, of 4114.wGreat cheering.) Mr. CHARLES NEAVES, advocate, said, they were met there this night to do honour to one great master in one great department of imaginative delineation—let them not then forget to do justice at the same time to the sister art of poetry.—(Cheers.) He a4ked the meeting to give their tribute of applause to the names of Wordsworth, Campbell, and Moore.—(Loud cheers.) After alluding to the times of Shakspeare, Spencer, Waller, Cowell, Cowper, and Burns, the Learned Gentleman said the soil of our country in the present days was not less pro ductive of poetical genius than in past times, as a proof of which he need only mention the names of Words worth, Southey, Cowper, Byron, Scott, Rogers, Meore, Campbell, Wilson—(Loud and prolonged cheers)—and Moir—a longer list than any which had ever concen trated their rays in one blaze of beauty.—(Renewed cheers.) Mr. Weaves concluded an eloquent speech, by asking the company to drink the names of Wordsworth, Campbell. and Moore, and the long list of contemporaries of which their country could boast.—(The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.) Mr. J. T. GORDON, in proposing the Memory of Burns, said, he had no feeling of sorrow—he had no words of melancholy preface to utter, in asking a cup of tributary respect to Robert Burns. On the contrary, it was with a pride, which, though national, he yet knew to be 'so just and true, that he exulted in it, and with an enthusiasm which perhaps only a Scotsman could Un derstand ; although none knoWing the kindness and gen tleness and at the same time the manliness of Burns, would appreciate that enthusiasm better than their dis tinguished guest. Surely it needed nothing to recom mend the memory of him, whose memory was as green at that moment as the leaves were then on his own banks of Doon, and which flowed as freely through the width and length of the land as the waters of his beloved Nith. He was a man, that would have been of mark in auy way. Born of that stalwart race—our country's honour —inured to their hardships, accustomed to their toils, it might have so pleased Heaven, that he should have passed his life the admiration of his village, for " The might that slumbered in a peasant's arm." But it was otherwise decreed. And when the air of poetry moved the latent strings in his heart, beautifully and swelling came over a whole people the strains that showed " The might that slumbered in a peasant's soul." The fabled horse of old struck out with his hoof a foun tain from which the Muses drank ; but when this pea sant's plough broke the clod, the people of Scotland 'soon after heard the lark rise to the sky, and saw the daisy droop its withered head as they had never done be fore, because they had quaffed an intoxicating cup from o, well - Which they . felt had given glory to the grass and splesYdour to the flower.—(Applause.) Were they not justifiecPin the adoration almost approaching to idolatry with which the people of Scotland regarded the me mory of Burns ? And idolatry if it were, it was not the worship of a false fire.----Cheers.) It were needless, it were idle to enter upon the character of Burns, on his merits or his failings—for failings he had, since there is no clay so purified in the furnace of earthly trial as to be spotless. But surely if ever facility and felicity were combined, it was in him. Not easier does the wind shake the down from the thistle than did the stirring of genius shake off from his soul those in many senses numerous strains embodying the most exquisite fancy's tenderest sentiment, and the sublimest aspirations.— (Much applause.) But one word more. It was cer tainly no small praise, that even now as the world passed, when mental cultivation was everywhere ad vancing, and in the race of knowledge men were pressing on each other's heels, amid the various arts, and accom plishments, and manifold acquirements of our present time, there was not a man but came back gently and sweetly to the natural song sung by our native bard. The Learned Gentleman sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. Mr. DICKENS said—l have the honour to be entrusted with a toast, the very mention of which will recommend itself to you, I know, as one possessing no ordinary claims to your sympathy and approbation, and the pro posing of which is as congenial to my wishes and feel ings as its acceptance must be to yours. It is the health of our Chairman—(Loud cheering)—and coupled with his name, rhave to propose the Literature of Scotland— a literature which he has done much to render famous through the world ; and of which ho has becn for many years—as I hope and believe that he will be for many more—(Loud cheers)—a most brilliant and distinguished ornament. Who can revert to the literature of the land of Scott and of Burns, without having directly in his mind, as inseparable from the subject, and foremost in the picture, that old man of might, with his lion heart and sceptred crutch—Cristopher North ?—(Loud cheers.) lam glad to remember the time when I be lieved him to be a real, actual, veritable old gentleman— that might be seen any day hobbling along the High street, with the most brilliant ep—but this is no fiction— and the grayest hair in all the world ; who wrote not because he cared to write—not because he cared for the wonder and admiration of his fellow-men, but who wrote because he could not help it—(Loud cheers) — because there was always springingup in his mind a clear and sparkling stream of poetry which must have vent, and, like the glittering fountain in the fairy tale, draw what you might was ever at its full, and never languished even by a single drop . or bubble.—(Cheers.) I so figured him in my mind, and when I saw the Professor two days ago striding along the Parliament House, I was disposed to take it as a personal offence—l was vexed to see him look so hearty—l drooped to see twenty Christophers in one—l began to think that Scottish life was all lights and no shadows—(Loud cheers)—and I began to doubt of that beautiful book to which I have turned again and again always to find new beauties and fresh sources of interest.—(Cheers.) It has been the happy lot of Scotland that her great writers have loved to exhibit her various forms, whether in scenes of soli- tary grandeur or her simple village ways. The mighty genius who lately departed from you was equally at home in the wild grandeur of Highland scenery or the burning sands of Syria, and in the low haunts ofLon don life ; while there is not a shepherd or a peasant who has not his type immortalised in the verso of him whose hand was on the plough while his heart was with the muse. There is not a glen or a lonely haunt in the Highlands which has nOt been visited by Christopher in his shooting-jacket, with a heart as free and wild as the winds that swept over him. His voice has been heard from the lonely heaths and the snow-drifts of the mountains—in the highways of Edinburgh—and in the caves of the Covenanters. By his genius every foot of ground in Scotland has been pictured to the dwellers afar off as a fairy land.—(Loud cheers.) It is difficult to follow the Professor through all the scenes he has depicted with such exquisite beauty, from the varied stores of his rich and teeming fancy; so that the epitaph of Gold smith may be applied to him, that there was no sub ject but he touched, and • nothing which he touched that he did not adorn.—(Cheers.) But the literature of Scotland comprises other names which are familiar to you—poets, historians, critics, all of the foremost rank. The Learned Lord, whom I am proud to call my friend, (Cheers)—to whom, by his fine taste and just apprecia tion of the beauties of a author, literature owes so much, and to the generodlY of whose nature those who are opposed to him have borne high testimony—the au thor of Matthew Wald and Adam Blair, who has lately depicted with a vivid colouring the last days of the mighty genius who departed on the banks of the river he loved so well—the gentleman who is present amongst us, and who, under the signatere of Delta—(Loud cheers)—has given the world assurance of a poet, and has raised in us all admiration which we would fain be at liberty to increase still farther by meeting him oftener —these and other names are all included in the toast, which we drink to do honour not to them, but to our selves.—(Loud cheers.) Professor WILSON said, this was not the first time that he had had the honour of presiding at such a meeting as this, and though sadly deficient in that energy and crea tive genius which he wan said to possess, yet he would yield to no man in that deep affection for his native land which characterized its inhabitants ; and in allowing that their feelings occasionally kindled a sparkling of some thing like genius in his own breast, and which attracted I some notice to the humble efforts he had made. In his (Professor W.'s) own person he had never been indiffe rent to the fame and reputation of others—sometimes he had brought forth neglected merit—(Cheers)—and with respect to the literature of Scotland, he might be permit ted to say that in soma departments it was distinguished ust at this moment by some still living, and in some only lately. They have made a most distinguished figure, and given delineations of the national character that would last for ever. The names of Hamilton, of Grant, and of Brunton (he continued) are not likely to be forgotten. They have indeed parted from us, but their memory is fresh and green ; and it may be said of them, not one line they ever wrote could they have wished to blot. They had the true genius of their country ; they were true to the earnestness and t of i the religio n w hi c h c h aracter i sed ther native lan p d ley ; and they drew many beautiful pictures that will last for ever. There are two distinguished female writers amongst us yet—th ere are other--but allow me to mention the name s of Ferrie r and Johnstone.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gen tleman then referred j i o the progress of the fine arts, which, he said, were and fiction. and executed in the same spirit of poetry an few words, by mentioninn. m a N m h e and excellent friend, of Allan.h i s The}' adistinguishedhnew how adventurous his knewvieh led him far from his native country ; and they ale that, impelled by his adventurous spirit and genius, s o tud . ied the man ners, customs, and habits of thosewh climes, and that he had produced ,;11 the hved in other pictures of the customs and habits of those canvass these ose countries, was,isinon. He would close in a and thus made them visible to all who had an nity of beholding the m . H e likewise devoteClhi3ppolln genius to themes connected with his own country. The Mr. Allan Professor concluded b y p ro p osin g t h e health of Allan and the Fine Arts. Mr. ALLAN returned his humble and sincere thanks for the honour they had done him, and exv - essed his de light that there were many distinguished in the arts in Scotland who would do honour to any country. He ventured to think that, ere long, the fine arts would reach the eminence attained by literary science. Mr. PATRICK ROBERTSON was afraid - that he would be considered a little intrusive on the order of the toasts of the evening ; but he hoped that the communication he had to malt?, and which had just been put into his hands, would be ail apology for this apparent intrusion. Such was the rapidity of the periodical press, that lie found that a newspaper called the Edinburgh Evening Courant—so called because it was published at six o'clock in the morning, and which was expected t o came out to-morrow morning—had already published an account of the business of the evening's proceed ings ; and not only an account of what had actually taken place, but had reduced that account into most ad mirable poetry. He had no doubt that it would interest the meeting ; and although he was not a shareholder in the said newspaper, he would take the liberty of reading the prefatory,matters. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read a paper :—" A splendid meeting took place last night—Professor Wilson in the chair. — (Laughter,) A strut gentleman acted as croupier.— (Renewed laughter.) We wish to present our readers first with a serious description of the more tragic part of the proceedings ; and, secondly, with some of those lighter flights of fancy by which the evening was distin guished."—(Continued laughter.) The Learned Gen tleman then proceeded to read a number of verses in poetry, referring to the various characters in Mr. Dickens works. Much humour and wit were displayed in the composition, and the reading of them excited great laughter and cheering, Mr. LUDOVIC COLQITHOUN, Advocate, said, the high honour has been assigned to me of proposing as a toast the health of a most learned and accomplished person, whose unavoidable absence from this meeting, deeply regretted by us all, has been so feelingly alluded to by his friend, our distinguished guest—l mean Lord Jel frey.—(Loud cheers.) Conscious as I am of my ina bility to do justice to that toast, I should have at once declined the duty, otherwise most gratifying, of propon big it, was I not conscious, at the same time, that the toast is indeed one which requires no preface, and that eulogy and eloquence—eloquence even such as that which has delighted us to-night—could add nothing to the feelings of respect and admiration with which all who hear me must regard its eminent subject. With such feelings, then, towards Lord Jeffrey, surely we should rejoice that we have been favoured with an oppor tunity so fitting as that, which the present occasion affords, of testifying, with the pride and affection becom ing his fellow-citizens, that we appreciate as we ought a man whose genius and attainments have long since won for him a memorable name, not merely among ourselves, or in this country, but in evbry land where the language and literature of Britain are known.—(Cheers.) Such a name is not lightly or easily won ; it can neither be acquired nor retained without correspondent merit ; for the very condition of fame is high and authentic desert. —(Applause.) It is not for me—it would be presump tion, and, in an assembly like this, altogether superflu ous to discuss, or even to indicate the grounds of Lord Jeffrey's well-earned celebrity. But amidst the many which might be indieated—amid the many indisput able claims he possesses on our veneration and gratitude —I trust I may be permitted to allude very briefly to one—the unparalleled and inestimable services he has rendered to the periodical literature of our country. — (Cheers.) He found it in a state of helpless, and seem ingly hopeless decrepitude. He reanimated it, or rather, to speak more correctly, he called into existence a species of literature absolutely now, with which that displaced by it had nothing in common but the name. He infused. into this new creation an energy and a fire, and in vested it with a dignity and a grace, of which, till then, periodical literature had , scarcely afforded an indication, and with which, indeed, judging from the past, it might have been supposed irreconcilable. He not only de monstrated that the periodical press was capable of being made the most efficient of engines for disseminating . , instruction and information on every branch of human knowledge, but he actually made it such ;. and lie re laxed not in his efforts till lie saw that press become, as, thanks to him, it has now long been, the chosen medium through which the best and ripest intellects hold com munion with their kind.—(Applause.) If we would in quire into the means by which he effected a revolution, so mighty in its character, so salutary in its results, we need but call to recollection the almost endless series of original and exquisite assays, which, in swift and unin terrupted succession, emanated from that most fertile of minds—essays, embracing in their range every depart ment of literature and art, and nearly every department of science—infinitely varied, therefore, in their subjects, but each and all bearing the unequivocal impress of a master-head, each and all characterised by a masculine vigour of argument, and universality of knowledge, a force and felicity of illustration, a prodigality of wit, a beauty and dazzling brilliancy of style, rarely seen in such perfection even singly, probably never before found so happily combined ; we need, 1 repeat, but look to these, and we can be little at a loss to divine the means by which the triumph was effected, and surely as little disposed to question the character of Lord Jeffrey's fame. (Loud cheers.) But, if any thing could enhance the splendour of that triumph—if any thing were still want ing to consummate the fame of him who achieved it— surely it would be found in the fact that these precious contributions to the literary glory of our country were made, not by a recluse student, lapped in lettered ease, but by one, who, while he made them, was immersed, daily and hourly, in the toils of a profession certainly sufficiently toilsome, among the members of which, while he stood second to none in learning, he stood paramount in eloquence and every forensic accomplishment.—(The toast was then drank amidst loud applause.) Mr. DICKENS said, I am less foi-iunate_than the two gentlemen who have preceded me in their toasts, for I have to mention a name known to all present, but which I cannot utter at this time without deep sorrow—a name in which Scotland had a high and endearing pride, which England delighted to honour, and which was che rished in the breast of every reflecting man throughout the whole civilised world. From among the gifted spi rits of our times a gentle, honest, generous, and true one has passed away, as it were but yesterday. The life of one devoted to all that was true, and beautiful, and elevating in art and in nature, 'lath come to an end. I will give you the memory of Wilkie. It is not as one whom many of us knew and loved—it is not as one whose simple nature his high fame and fortune never spoiled or changed—it is not as one who acted up to what he taught, and who made the domestic virtues and beauties his daily practice, that I think of him to-night. I think of him as one, and you should do so too, who has left behind him unwonted fire, who has left an un dying and imperishable name—who made the cottage hearth his grave theme, and who surrounded the lives, and cares, and daily toils and occupations of the poor with dignity and beauty—who, indeed, found sermons in stones, and books in streams, and good in everything —and who left in all his works the same breathing of health as of the air wafted from the heather of his na tive land.—(Cheers.) However desirous one may bo, on an occasion like the present, to separate his memory from those mournful associations which gather around it, it is impossible; they are peculiarly inseparable from him ;—the painter's study, with the empty easel, the brush and pallet which he was wont to use no w li e idly by ;—his unfinished pictures turn their faces to the wail —and that bereaved and affectionate mourner whom he loved in his days to honour, will look upon him no more. He is gone, and has left behind him, particu larly to his countrymen and to all who knew him, a name and a fame as pure and unsullied as the bright sky whiCh shines above the painter's grave. He has filled our minds and memories with what is mournful, yet as soothing as the rolling of the blue waters 'over his honoured head. Mindful of his only sister, I cannot help expressing the hope that the time will shortly come when she, like us, will feel a solemn pleasure in speaking of his goodness and greatness, and when ;:she will have the grateful recollection that he died in the fulness of his powers, before age and sickness had dimmed his sight or had bowed his head. Mr. Dickens was much affected during the delivery of this speech, particularly at those passages more especially referring to Sir David Wilkie's death. The toast was drank in solemn silence. The Hon. Mr. PRIMROSE proposed a toast which he was sure would meet with all their approbation —the health of Mr. Patrick Robertson.—(Cheers.) Whether they regarded him as the first in a most learned pro fession—as a most distinguished orator in this great city —as one of the best and earnest promoters of conviviality —(Laughter)--or as the "stout gentleman acting as croupier"—(Laughter)—he was quite sure that if they remembered him in one or all of then respects, the bum per he was to propose would be prodigious.—(Laughter.) The Honourable Gentlemanlproposed their "great crou pier, Mr. Robertson." Mr. ROBERTSON returned thanks, and said that he felt groat pleasure in being one of those who were instru mental in originating and forwarding the business of the evening. What had already passed was a complete jus tification of the steps they had taken, and he would only say that he was grateful for the cordiality and kindly feelings shown to him by his fellow-citizens, and that his exertions in any capacity were entirely at their disposal. Mr. FLETCHER said, that although he would make the shortest speech of the evening, yet he was sure it would meet with the most cordial and enthusiastic reception. It had been said that the genius of Mr. Dickens was English ; but he demurred to that, and would say that it was half English and half Scotch, as he was un doubtedly connected with a Scottish lady. He then pro: posed the health of Mrs. Dickens, which was drank amidst great applause. Mr. DICKENS returned thanks, and said that his wife was a Scotchwoman, and was born in this city. Mr. P. ROBERTSON proposed " Mr. Murray and the Drama." Mr. MURRAY-Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I need not say how deeply I feel the honour you have con ferred upon me ; and I will freely confess that, seeing my name in the list of toasts, I had endeavoured to con coct what you, with your usual kindness towards me, might have deemed a very tolerable speech—(Laughter) —but really, Gentlemen, considering the lateness of the hour, and the great talent which has preceded me, it would be an absurdity, nay, almost an impertinence for me to intrude upon your patience by--(Here Mr. Murray was met by cries of "No, no," "Go on," accomp an i e d with great applause.) Well, Gentlemen, perhaps it will be better for the general effect that I should go on. My friend Al]an will tell you how valuable shade is in a pic ture, perhaps it may prove equally so at a public dinner, and, after the brilliant display you have heard this even ing, a little calm mediocrity, or even positive failure, may be an agreeable relief.—(Laughter and great ap plause.) I remember when the elite of London gave their dinner to John Kemble, upon his retirement from the stage, the stewards waited on the late Lord Holland, to request that he would take the chair on that occasion. His Lordship said that nothing would give him more pleasure, but added, " Gentlemen, I fear you have made a bad choice. In the House of Lords I can worry a Minister, or badger a Bishop, with any man, but I am a wretched speaker at a public dinner." So, jumping from great to small, place me upon my own boards, and I think I can wind up a season, pacify a pit, nay, coax a gallery—(Loud laughter) —aye, even when crowded with the stormy sixpences of a second price —(Great laughter and ap plause)—with most men of my trade ; but you must be well aware, that flourishing in the set phrases of a theatre, where, as children say, you have all the talk to yourself, is widely different from following in the wake of such eloquence as you have listened to to-night, and, I fear, my thanks will fall miserably short of what they ought to be.—(Cries of " No," and loud applause.) lam well aware th a t muc h of what Mr. RObertson has been pleased to say of me, has been coloured by those feel ings of private regard with which he honours me ; and I am equally aware, that the cordiality with which yoii have responded to his compliments, has sprung more from your kindness to an old servant, than to any merit that old servant possesses.—(Renewed cries of Nc , ," and great applause.) Well, Gentlemen, merit or :no merit, I am truly grateful for the honour you have dome me, and thank you for it from the very bottom of my heaxt. gI obligations a w a i d sh co th nt e inued cheers.)

Still something may be said for her.--(Loud applause.) 'lf, with some few yet bright exceptions, her authors and actors have somewhat fallen below the standard of former days, pardon me when I say, that a defleieriey of vegetation is not always the fault of the soil, it some times proceeds from want Of sun.—(Loud cries of hear, and applause.) The truth is, the drama has, een some what " left and abandoned of her velvet friends,"—the higher classes ; and, of course I think them wrong. Their presence,--especially the ladies,—acted as a sort of moral police, before which no manager or performer dared court the applause of the million by one act or 1 word repugnant to right feeling or good taste.—(Conti need applause.) Theatres are powerful engines ; and you may raise or degrade them, but you cannot crush them. Sir Walter Scott has told us that " a love of theatrical amusement is inherent in human nature ;" and I am certain that we might as well attempt to sweep the name of Shakspeare from the page of our na tional' literature, as banish the art he has immortalised. (Loud cheering.) Then let us hope that the upper ranks will rally round the drama, and prevent her from being made a positive evil, in vitiating the tastes of her more humble patrons.—(Continued applause.)

His great taste and talent as an actor, and what is of more consequence, his moral worth as a man, must benefit the cause.—(Loud applause.) He is also the friend of our distinguished guest—and I may, possibly, add the names of Knowles, Talfourd, and of Bulwer—one whose pen would do right good service to the stage,—a pen which has proved its mastery over all thC passions of the human heart in every rank of life.—(Applause.)

GLOBE.—Lord John Russell, with that confidence in the integrity of his principles and purposes which has marked the whole course of his public life, cast himself upon the support of the City of London ; founding his expectations of being returned as one of its represen tatives on its approval of the great measures of fiscal and commercial Reform which he, as the representa tive of the Government in the House of Commons, had brought forward, and on which an appeal Was to be made to the country. From the moment on which it was known that his Lordship had determined on taking up this bold and proud position, the whole artillery of Tory rancour was opened upon him. The power ful corporations, which hold their central seats in the City of London, interested in the perpetuity of restrictions upon trade, put in force the mighty influences at their command against the statesman whose liberal policy was diametrically opposed to their exclusive systems. His enlightened and expansive views rebuked their selfishness. The determined pur pose with which he pursues the course dictated by a sense of what is required for the promotion and secu rity of the public interests, convinced them that their attempts to perpetuate the monopolies to which they cling would prove abortive, when assailed by his arm, nerved by a sense of right, and encouraged by public opinion. Hence the extraordinary exer tions used to defeat his election by the close corpora tions and combined class interests of the Metropolis. The advocates of corruption in the Corporation also aided in the general design. Lord John Russeli's at tempts to include the City in the great measure of Mu nicipal-Reform, and his subsequent endeavours to abolish its senseless and injurious exclusive jurisdiction—which is at once a source of enormous expense to the citizens, and of embarrasment and delay in the prevention, detec tion, and punishment of crime—were industriously charged upon him as a contemplated innovation of the City's privileges ; and urged upon the livery as a reason why they should exert themselves to prevent the invader of their chartered rights from being elected as their re presentative in Parliament. These, and other considera tions, were employed as auxiliaries to - aid the Tories in the struggle against the Member of the Government whom they most feared, and therefore regarded with intense dislike. Their effoats failed. The close of the poll, though not favourable to the Liberal cause to the extent which was expected, included Lord John Russell among the successful candidates ; and this afforded to the Liberals a solace under partial defeat, the value of which was seen in the deep disappointment and mortifi cation of their opponents. The impudent attempt tto conceal their chagrin, by setting up a fabri ca t e d state ment which excluded Lord John Russell from the list of the candidates elected ; and the industry with which they gave publicity to the lying announcement, that it might serve the purpose of a short-lived triumdh in places where elections were yet pending—showed how confi dently they had reckoned on success, and how great was the importance they attached to it. COURIER.—No better proof need be desired of the triumphant progress of the constitutional cause,' than the chapfallen crests of the so late uproarious minions of the Ministry. The Chronicle sings the funereal dirge of the party in double-leaded pomp this morning, as before, for days and week, it hallooed them on to 'certain victory with the same double-spaced honour of type and anticipated triumph. Tha evening satellites twinkle, however, only the more fiercely, as the morning luminary from whence the light is borrowed* is suffering the agonies of eclipse. Nothing daunted by the detected fraud, un-_ der favour of which Lord John Russell's name was foisted to the head of the city poll, for the base and pettifogging advantage of deceiving the country to the miserable extent of one day's post only, one, and the most dishonest, of this pair of unscrupulous partisans, consoles itself for the disasters of London, -Westmin ster, and elsewhere, by the defeat of one of the Conser vative candidates for Nottingham, who is assailed by name with ferocity of language equal to any ferocity of Irish bludgeonism, wanting its desperate manliness, of which the annals of "death's head and cross bones " ruffianism in Ireland or England can furnish an ex ample. We have been, accustomed to rate Mr. Wal ter's useful labours and 'public importance as highly as most men, but nev(lr till now, a.inid the savage yells of ministerial exultation over .his temporary discomfiture, were we able to appreciate so fully the full measure of his value, and the corresponding extent of the public !ifs whose present re reat estimated as vastly m ire than with loss in the be reavement by which for a time the people are deprived of his serv i ces .

ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) Mr. L. D'EYItCOURT (In continuation from our First Edition) said - Their opponents thought to find the great giant of Liberalism in Lambeth sleeping ; they had found him partly slumbering, but they had roused him, and he had given them a " back hander," such as it would be long before they would recover from or forget.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hawes had expressed to them much better than he could, the principles on which his (Mr. L. D'Eyncourt's) father had acted and meant to act. He (Mr. L. D'Eyncourt) had always acted upon those principles, which had first recommended him to their notice.—(Cheers.) For years he had advocated those measures which her Majesty's Minis. ters now proposed to the country. From the first he had advocated the repeal of the Corn.laws.—(Cheers.) And he need not assure them his father's public character was a sufficient guarantee that he would continue to act on the same principles —(Cheers.) So far as his father was concerned no elector need call for shortening the duration of Parliament, for he had desired him (Mr. L. D'Eyncourt) to assure them that if any numerous body of electors at any time should express a wish that be should resign his trust into their hands, he would be ready to do it.—(Cheers.) They had now responded to the call which their truly patriotic . Queen—(Loud cheering)—had made to the country to rally round her Ministers. The Tories, no doubt, would obtain a majority in the next Parliament—(No, no)—but let them await the result. They were now full of liberal professions, and advocates of the extension of trade, of education, and, in short-, for all the measures the Liberals themselves had so long ad. vocated, but they were advocates in words only.—(Loud cheers.) He dared say many of them had heard of a body of assassins in India called Thugs, who would meet a man with professions of the greatest respect, eat and drink with him, and insinuate themselves into his confidewe in every possible way, but when he slept, trustinf to their friendly protection, would strangle him as he slept. The Tories were full of these liberal professions, but as soon as corresponding mee ures were proposed in the House, their only object would be to strangle them.—(Loud cheers.) The Corn_ law monopoly would be continued, that monopoly by which a class was supported by the robbery of many.—(Cheers.) They would have national education, but it must be taught by high church schoolmasters—(Cheers)—and no p or man's child would be taught to read and write until it had been first thoroughly imbued with the 39 articles.—(Loud cheers.) These were the only liberal measures they would receive from the Tories, and he doubted not that before long such would become the abhorrence of Tory misrule that our noble Queen would again appeal to the people, and appeal with success.—(Loud cheers.) Before he retired, he wished to mention one circumstance. During the short time they had had to prepare for that struggle their united Committees had placed their whole reliance on Mr. William Hawes, and every thing that was not owing to the spirited con duct of the electors was owing to him.—(Cheers) He wished therefore to say on behalf of his father's Committee who had now for the first time united with that of Mr. Hawes, that they en tertained the highest sense of that gentleman's truly valuable ser. vices, and also of. the manner in which Mr. Hawes himself had advocated their cause.—(Cheers.) He would now only detain them further by expressing to them again, on behalf of his father, his most grateful thanks for their generous support.—(Cheers ) Mr. BARKF.R then came forward to propose a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer for his conduct during that election. He (Mr. B.) was truly grateful to him for the disinterested assistance that he had given him yesterday, but having said that, he feared he must stop time, for, to his own knowledge, there was not a single metropolitan borough so badly registered or arranged for polling purposes.—(Loud cheers.) Would they believe it, the very hustings he stood on, and beneath which they had to transact their business, was only of an elevation of five feet six inches or five feet- seven inches ? Moreover he (Mr. B.), who lived in the Kent-road, was obliged to come there to vote and pass a polling-booth on his way.—(Shame, shame.) He thought, however, Mr. M'Lean and the body who had acted under him were entitled to their best thanks for their ab!e services. He would now give them a parody, he thought at that mo ment might be fitly applied to the Tory Candidates. They all re. membered the old school verses called the "Beggar's Petition.'' He thought he might say of them— ' Pity the sorrows of two poor old men, Whose trembling limbs have borne them to your door, Whose cause has swindled to the shortest span, Pay their expenses and they'll come no more. —(Loud cheers and laughter.) Mr. Wst. HAWES came forward and said he should protest against any vote of thanks being given to the Returning Officer.— (Cheers and uproar.) From the first moment he was in possession of the writ, every obstacle that one man could throw in the way of the proceedings of this election, had been used by him.— (Cries of shame.) The returning officer denied that. When the writ was issued there was no opposition thought of, and the nomination might have taken place on Monday, if he had acted as the High Bailiff of Southwark had done.—(Cheers.) He was applied to on the night he received the writ, to appoint a day for the nomination, but he would not do so.—(Shame, shame.) And during this delay an opposition was formed. Every other arrange ment of the election was in accordance with this. He (Mr. Hawes) resided at Denmark-hill, and he had to pass by that place (Kennington) and go to Stangate to give his vote. — (Hear, hear, and cries of "Shame.") Gentlemen living at Den mark-hill and Brixton, and its neighbourhood, almost all kept their carriages, and were mostly Tories, and it was no matter where they went. (Cheers and laughter.) But the hardship was thrown on the poor man, who was called from his work to poll at booths several miles distant. By the arrangements of the returning officer, all sorts rf difficulty was thrown in the way.—(Shame.) With re gard to the vote of thanks, he would not propose an amendment to that motion ; but as chairman of Mr. Hawes' Committee, on be. half of them he would protest against that vote.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hoer (the Returning Officer) then came forward, and said he could not see why they should throw blame on him, as he had nothing whatever to do with the distance parties had to come to vote, as he was obliged to put 300 voters to each booth, and he took them numerically as they appeared on the register, and not with regard to the residences of the parties ; therefore, he thought that the charge against him with regard to the residences of the voters was not made out. With respect to the construction of the booths, he would refer them to the time that was : given for their erection, and let that speak for itself.—(Uproar.) It would have been quite impossible to have constructed them in any other way in the time allowed. Had he not ordered the booths to be built as they were, tile electors would have had no place to have given their votes in. —(Hear, hear.) He had endeas oured to throw as little delay in the way of the proceedings as possible, and in the arrangements, politics were never considered. He was not even a voter on the register. He would scorn to use any influence, if he possessed any, to the prejudice of any one.—(Loud cheers.) He would tell them that he was not a paid officer.—(A voice in the crowd—f 4 Who gets the Is. for registering ?'') He did not—he got no payment whatever—his services and his trouble were unre quited. The poll.clerks were paid, but he was not.—(Uproar.) He had also been charged with delaying the Proclamation. He could not have issued it early, as he had previous engagements which prevented him.—(Cries of " Name them.") He made the Proclamation within the time limited by law. Here great contu siod arose, and Mr. Hope became quite inaudible, and at length retired. Mr. Cox said he wished to put a question to the Retiirning Officer ; he would ask him if the arrangements were the same as at the last election ? We understood Mr. Hope to say that they were not. Mr. Cox then came forward amidst great noise and confusion. He said he was one of those who liked to hear both sides of the question. He had done so on the present occasion, and he would say that a mote lame defence than that of the returning officer he had never heard in the whole course of his life.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Cox) was one of the parties who had felt the inconvenience of Mr. Hope's arrangements. Mr, Cox proceeded amidst great up roar, and concluded by moving, That the censure of this meet. ing be given to the returning officer for his conduct on this occa sion.''— (Cheers and uproar. ) Mr, SELL, a gentleman .in front of the hustings in the crowd, said he wonid second the motion. Mr. PALMER came forward, and said he thought they were rather bard upon Mr. Hope. He (Mr. Palmer) would take it for granted that the lesson they had given him (Mr. Hope) would be all sufficient.—(Cries of " Put the amendment.'') He (Mr. Palmer) hoped the gentleman would withdraw his amend. ment.—(Great uproae.) Mr' Cox said he should not do so, as he saw no reason for it. Mr. Cox then put the amendment himself, which he declared to be carried ; but the meeting did not seem to understand the ques tion, and very few hands were held up. A vote of thanks was then proposed and carried unanimously for Mr. Wm. Hawes. Three cheers were given for the Queen, and three groans for the Tories, and the meeting separated.

" On Friday evening," says the Journal de la Belgique, "a young man of 20, and a female of 17, after passing some time in a public-house at Forest, near Brussels, where they are supposed to have mixed poison in two glasses of water which they drank, proceeded to the river Senne, and threw themselves in. The young man, however, who could swim, obeying the instinct of nature, returned to land, where he stabbed himself three times with a dagger, and then threw himself into the river a second time. Some peasants who witnessed the event drew him out of the water still living, and conveyed him to the hospital. He was not dead when the ac count left. The body of the female was found on the follow ing day. The young man is a student in medicine, and the female, who was a pupil - of the Conservatory of Music, was the daughter of a builder at Brussels. Despair in love was the cause of this tragical event." • THE IRISH. CHANCELLORSHIP. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Sun,—Believing that your Journal is conducted on the priticitle of giving fair play to all classes, I solicit the admission Of a few' reinarka on the above-named subject. I gin one of those who forget the just feeling gene rally manifested towards Ireland by the Wee/it Ministry; and for that reason I would forego any observations en the appointment of Lord Carcipbell to the Irish Chancery, but that some misrepresentation and great error exists in this country as to the opinions and the treatment of the Irish bar. Bid first permit me to notice some topics urged against the appointment : my dissent from which, although disapproving of the appointment, I the more willingly record, as, where no party feeling exists, it is as undesirable its it is unjust to take advantage of an un founded objection, however plausible or popular. It is objected that Lord Campbell has been chiefly a practitioner at the Common Law bar. Was Lord Eldon a bad Equity Judge, although taken from a Court of Common Law, to be placed on the Chancery Bench ? Was Lord Lyndhurst not an instance to refute the objections entertained against one of the best qualifications which a Chancellor could have? Much as it was the fashion to decry - Lord Brougham's merit as a Chancellor, has not the attempt been defeated by the result of the appeals against his decisions ? The well-known rd3xim, 6 ` Equitas sequitur legenz," has been fully exemplified by the generally superior success of eminent common law practitioners, when called to the Chancellorghip. Another objection is, that the Whigs, although at present holding office by a precarious tenure, have appointed a new Chancellor at the commencement of the long vacation, a cha,;7ze of Ministry being pro !Able before the beginning of terns. It appears to me that no ditty is more imperative on any AiSnistry than that . of performing their public acts in accordance with public convenience, without regard to the vicissittielcs to which all Ministries are subject. The ques tion hers is, was a change in the Irish Chan cellorship necessary, or at least useful, to the public ? Painful as it may be to speak of the growing infirmity of a great man, it is not unkind to tell the English reader what the Irish practitioners have for some time known. That the number and the result of the objections to many of Lord Piunket's later decrees, give warning which it does not disparage that Nobleman's fame to re spect. The special agreement regarding the retiring pension removes all ground of cavil arising from Minis terial vicissitudes ; and, assuming the propriety or a change, no period of the year can be more suited to the public interest than at the commencement of a recess which afthrds to the new official who, especially if a stranger, needs leisure to study the local practice and peculiaritiee. To me it appears that the real, and the only, ground of objection to the appointment of a stranger is, that it deprives the Irish bar of that fair share of pro motion to which they, as well as Englishmen, are en titled. It is for, the public benefit that a profession, en gaged in such responsible duties, should have the ordi nary incentives.. But, in this case, the Irish Solicitor- General (the Attorney-General being a Catholic, is ex cluded by the sectarian legislation of this country), the Irish Sergeants and the leading men of the Irish bar, are passed by on the occasion of a vacanoy,, which if it had occurred in England, would, as every one knowe, have been tilled up from the EngliSh Bar alone. The English newspapers affect to accuse the Irish Bar with exclusiveness—they repeat the liberal-hearted proposi tion (made by Spring Rice !) that Ireland should be called West Britain, in order to cement the friendly feelings between the two countries. All this kindness is to result in a reciprocity all on one side. No Irish bar rister has ever yet sat on the English Bench. But the liberality has been evinced merely by placing English barristers on the Bench in Ireland and in Scotland ; and here let me define the words, for they have been used in a sense calculated to lead the people of England astray — the words English, Irish, or Scotch barristers mean not to deSignate the birth-place of the individuals, but the bar for which they have been trained, and to which they have committed their prospects in life. Charles Phillips . is a 'amber of the Irish Bar, but he does not by virtue of that degree practise here. If a man were of fifty years' standing and practice as an Irish Barrister, or as an English Banister, he is compelled, on becoming desirous of transferring his practice from one country to the other, to become again a student, and keep terms, as such, in the Inn sOi Court, and to pay over again the cost and charges of taking a Barris ter's degree. The Scotch Bar is similurly circum stanced, but with some show of reason, seeing that the course of legal study in that part of the United Kingdom differs to a very considerable extent from that requisite in England and Ireland. Some observations in The Sun of Friday last, are calculated to create mistakes on this point, for in no instance is a Scotch or Irish Barrister admitted to practice in the Courts here, unless he goes through the full course in the. English Inns of Court, and pays the full fees, according to the rules laid down for students in this country. The House of Lords and the House of Commons are Imperial and not provincial, as all other Courts in Great Britain and Ireland are, and by virtue of that quality, barristers of all parts of the kingdom, have equal right to practice before the two Houses. The Irish bar does not deserve the non sensical charge of exclusiveness urged by the English press against the recent manifestation of disapproval. The objection to the placing of English barristers on the Irish Bench is that there is no reciprocal equivalent — that no Irish barrister was ever yet appointed to the English bench—that the man who devotes himself to the Irish bar, has but a part of the Irish promotion, whilst the English barrister, together with his exclusive promotion in his own country, is generally quartered upon Ireland whenever the highest vacancy occurs there. The objection to Lord Campbell's appointment is but an objection to the one-sided system which the Irish are called upon to bear—with liberality ! ! The place of Lord Campbell's birth, or of any man's birth, has nothing to with the question. No one ever objected to Judge Burton's appointment to the Bench, of which he is an ornament. He is an Englishman, but he is also an Irish barrister. But it is not fair that a man who throughout his career has enjoyed the splendid prospects of the wealthier bar, should retire on the emo luments which should of right be bestowed on an Irish practitioner. I am, Sir, &c. AN IRISH BARRISTER. FASHIONS FOR JULY. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)

Tight sleeves still maintain their ground, but they are variously orna mented, and the small gigot of moderate fullness at the shoulder, and tight on the lower part of the arm, is fashionable. Generally speaking, tucks have replaced flounces, though they are sometimes used for tall figures ; tucks are frequently, edged with fringe or lace, or folds rise en tablier, en echelle, or in a wave ; for silk pink ruches are used, and on muslins, inlets of Valenciennes, and embroidery. Dresses of pink or blue organdy, worked in tambour, with silk of the same colour, are very pretty for public dejeuners. Organdy of deep blue are quite the rage in Paris. Scarfs continue to be worn in every variety ; the most elegant are of lace, Ottomane velvet, and real cachemere, with plain centres and pines ends, or figured in Asiatic bouquets ; then follow those of foulard, shaded silks, barege, muslin, &c. &c. The newest and must fashionable style of pocket handkerchief is with inlets of Valenciennes all round. Bonnets are now much ornamented, lace and flowers intermixed ; the form continues small, partaking very much of the capote. Straw bonnets, trimmed with velvet of two colours, with ruche inside, are pretty. Leghorns are mostly ornamented with lace, or wreaths a la Ceres, in poppies, daisies. &c.: honeysuckle is also seen, but the most elegant are those of hydrangea in every colour. SUDDEN DEATH THROUGH EXCITEMENT AT rxx CITY ELECTION.—Last evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at the School-room, Walbrook, on the body of Frede rick Beasant, aged 54, employed as messenger during the late City election, on the Whig side. It appeared that 'about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, as deceased was hurrying along through George-street, Mansion-house, he was seen to stagger, and then fall down suddenly on the foot pavement. He fell at Mr. Hampton's door, whose clerks reneered him every a-sist ance until the arrival of the police. Several medical men were sent for, and Dr. Bell, of Walbrook, came ; when he arrived he found deceased had died of an effusion of blood on the brain, or apoplexy, caused most probably not by over-ex ertion, but rather by over-excitement. Verdict—" Died of apoplexy." Preparations, on a large scale, are making at Hamburgh for a grand musical festival, which is to take place ou the 4th, 6th, and Bth July. The performers will amount to 900, and the expenses of such as are not residents at Ham burgh, will be paid out of a subscription raised s hy the mer chants and richer inhabitants, which already amounts to about 80,000 mares banco (150,000*. ) The performances are to take place according to their nature, in the Church of St. Mi chael, the grand theatre, and the hall of Apollo. THUNDER STORM.—On Friday a thunder storm visited this city, the electric power of which surpassed anything . of the kind in memory, and the darkness was awful. The raimushed down with impetuous force, mingled with hail, stones, and the thunder told its near approach with a noise and effect equal to that of cannon, as if absolutely tearing up the very pavement of ,he streets. The sensation was pro foundly grand and sublime. The saving mercy of Providence was evinced during the above awful thunder-storm, in a truly marked and gracious manner. A portion of the electric fluid struck the angle of one of the main wall of 13allymacreese house, the residence of James Shine, Esq., who was then sitting up stairs in the parlour with two ladies and some of his children. 'I he lightning shattered a wall three feet thick, ran down the chimney, and but st into the park% with an astounding shock, displacing a large stone over the mantelpiece, but then most providentially was attracted at this instant by the bell-wire, along which it shot down througl, the floor into the lower rooms, following this miracu lous conductor, burning the paper of the walls for several inches at both sides, and melting the hell-wire, leaving a mos sulphurous smell throughout its rapid progress, accompanied by a dense mist or smoke. The servants in the kitchen were knocked against each other and fell, and a girl in a distant room of the house had some glass broken in her hands in the act of removing to the pantry. The stunning shock of this dreadful visitation was felt for hours after by Mr. Shine and all the inmates, who have to thank Heaven for their escape under circumstances so awfully extraordinary.—Limerick Chronicle. LOSS OF THE WILLIAM DEO w. O (From the Boston Atlas.) Captain George L. Harris , o the ship Will owv, iam Br of whose melancholy loss o ur readers are called iipot 1 ! yesterday and furnished us with several facts relative IF that vessel, which we have never seen stated, and which we deem of sufficient' interest to warr.,nt their Publica tion. The Captain speaks of his mate as naturally $ 'err humane man, and of his crew as being " as gym, a el , e las he would ever wish to .sail with." He is of o pinion that their conduct has been judged of rather t oo harsh' n : s P and somewhat prematurely, and states several ti which, although they do not , to our mind, justify alhlthat is alleged to have been committed. will still go far to wards palliating . ) , what, but for these circumstancul would seem unnexessary acts of cruelty. Ile s ta . e that the first mate, with about forty others in b long-boat, and himself, with the second mate 0 1 . 1 5 :: vend others in the jolly-boat, remained mate ttachedi I '4 a rope to the vessel until she went down, whe„. ropes were cut. Just befe.-e parting with the :-',:' d taro, the mate suggested that, owing to the et° .° w condition of his boat, it would he necessary to l e lots as to who should be thrown omrboard to save I remainder. The boat was so crowded il'at it was iftr s f sible even to use the oars, and in lab being swamped by every ware. Captain Farris r(V ot le a that he did not wish to anticipate this event, And llle the mate not to do so until found to be indispzzaisah, Y„si., oessary. He also states, what is certainly a straugl i f ee n Hating circumstance, that the passengers, havi r; o of awakened too hastily to be able to save any portOve _ their clothing, were nearly entirely naked, that dull 4e., benumbed with cold before the Captain parted &I s ~0 -nit, ent clang( r ph n a and that it would have been little better than suic l o „ c es er have risked the lives of the crew in order to s a who were fast perishing by a more cruel death and who could not long survive as they were. e of Captain Harris speaks in the warmest languag er i. grateso remembrance of the kindness which he eq t he enced front Captain Lewis Labas and the crew 01. vfi , c , Mere de Fam2 le, by whom he was picked tip, an d 'f o rt: left nothing undo:le that could induce to their cora t.. and relief. When 1:: eked up they were all badly f t r i ° le s ir bitten, but, thanks to tbe unremitting kindness ° f „ l ira benefactors, they all recovefed with but little comPa'a'rtej discomfort. We hope that the name of this no lie to: Frenchman and .his benevolent crew will not Pas s itie t noticed either here or in his own land, for their conttitier, has thrown a bright relief over a picture which ° • wise would be one of unrelieved darkness. s of Captain Harris also speaks in the warmest to the kindness of the attentions of Edward Thorn, The following are the memoranda ' of the house of Atherton and Thorn, of St. ret er.s riss „ iin Ito . which we give in his own 1 count 0 language on tie interest : a p ro-, " Left • Liverpool March 13th. at ten, A. 3 r ., l ' n tVita l ceeded to sea.
