The expenses which has hitherto a o , ll ,One of the insurmountable impediments no longer offers ez!2°staele, as by Captain Tayler's meritorious invention this tat ':lany can form 160 harbours at a less expense than that q4 l4 ed by the Government Commissioners as the sum re eilittll by the old modes for the formation of three. The fa t* Y a construction enables this new Floating Breakwater to affixed, a n d h ar bours of refuge formed, on the most exposed p uts of our co a s ts, where not only none at present exist , but t h none other than by this method can be constructed ; h "STrlooth water for the safe landin , of goods and passengers Piers can be ensured at all 'limes of the tide, even at ",I,! in the mos t ex po se d places. That the Government of this country will avail itself of the rem eo Y means which this invention alone afford', there can be th oouht. Th e Di rec t or s have great satisfaction in stating h•at, estm they are in active negotiation with several places of the , :g o aritime importance, and that the Admiralty , ze alous r the promotion and success of the undertaking, have already l'atited the use of anchors and ground moorings to enable C aptain Tayler's plan to be put in immediate operation at 'Tilton, and we may fairly rely that there is scarcely a single Port in the United Kingdom - . which will not avail itself of the benefit now presented, by having some sections of the break water laid down, the cost being so comparatively small and the advantages so great. The r esu l t to the Shareholders , on the employment of the Company's works and means in this meritorious cause, cannot fail to insur e a return in a pecunizry point of view which will hr Pxceed th e almost sanguine expectations.

SPENCER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.—The thousands of individuals who have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye extant which will effectually change, in a few minutes, red or grey hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved inccntestibly that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed with out trouble, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one application will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been effected by dye, it be4ig se perfectly natural, and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will in the least fade or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gentleman may dye their Hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes without trouble. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.

It has been discovered that vile attempts had been made, and >till are made, to substitute base imitations for the genuine Medicine ; 11 proof of which, attention is directed to the. fol lowing advertisement, which appeared in the " Nottingham Review,' of January 22, 1841 : PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT. " to undersigned John Cubley, late of Derby, but now of the town of Nottingham, heretofore a schoolmaster, but now out of employment, do hereby acknowledge that I have lately got compounded seine pills, which 1 have sold to dif ferent persons as OW PARR'S LIFE PILLS, by repre senting that I had purchased the recipe for that celebrated me dicine : such representation was, howev?r, entirely false, and the proprietors of the genuine Old Parr's Life Pills have com menced legal proceedings against me for the above fraipl. But I, having expressed sorrow and contrition, and given up to them the names and addresses of each person to whom I have sold any of such pills, as well as of the druggists who corn pounded the same, and agreed to make this public apology, and pay all expenses, including this Advertisement, the Pro prietors have kindly consented to forego such legal proceed trigs. I do, therefore, declare my shame and sorrow for having committed such an imposition on the public, and such a fraud on the Proprietors of Old Parr's Life Pills, and further express any acknowledgments for their lenity.

LVIONEY MARKET and 'CITY NEWS. CHRONICLE. —Th e FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY• joy caused yesterday through out the metropoli s by t h e grat if y i ng announ c e ment that the Queen was safely d e li vere d o f a Prince, will be shared by all the subjects o f - her w id e - sprea d d om i n i ons . The I loyalty of the people of I ns tbouil, a is not then prostration Of their faculties imports,- the - homage paid to law and order, personified in the Sovereign. -Respect for law and order teaches every Englishman to - resp e ct the l ower through which the law is "efficient, an d b y w hi c h soc i a l or der is main tained. So far is this principle carried mores us, that, except in such an e x t rem e case as t h a t w hich drove the second James from the throne, loyalty is proof even . against the possession Of qualities which may lower the Sovereign in the regard of the peo- pie Their loyalty, indeed, was put to a severe test by the Sovereign who preceded William the Fourth. Between the loyalty which is paid as a debt to a Sovereign, as being the fountain of law, in whose per son the majesty of the law is honoured, and the warm re gard and admiration won by her Majesty from all classes of her subjects since her accession to the Throne, there is an immense difference. The wisdom and prudence in forming resolves, and firmness iu maintaining them, dis played by the Queen at the very early age when she was called to the throne, led the nation to entertain the most sanguine hopes from her • reign, and hopes which have been amply realised. No person ap proaches her Majesty without receiving the most favourable impression of her judgment and her wisdoM. It has already been her fate to be placed in circumstances which have called for the exercise of the utmost prudence and discretion, and she has al ways proved herself equal to the occasion. The Prince whom her Majesty gave yesterday to the nation will en joy the unspeakable advantage of being trained under a mother the exemplar of every virtue, who has afforded in her own person a striking instance of the advantages derivable from an excellent education. The nation has, in the knowledge that the Prince destined one day to fill the throne of these realms will Mire the Unspeakable be nefit of the example and instruction of such a mother— an assurance, a guarantee, that as far as wisdom and virtue can be communicated, they will belong to her Majesty's successor. Into the heartfelt joy manifested by all ranks, considerations such as the above no doubt largely entered. Her Majesty is beloved for her many amiable qualities, and esteemed for her wisdom and pru dence. Under the care of such a mother, the Prince, who yesterday first saw the light, can hardly fail to im bibe the moral and •intellectual qualities which Are re quired in a Sovereign. The youth of Princes is beset by dangers from.wriich that of humbler iedividuals is comparatively exempt ; and it requires all the care and affection of a kind mother to guard against them. Happy may the Prince be deemed who shall - have the unspeak able advantage of the guardianship of such a parent as our beloved Queen ! TIMES.—The auspicious event of her Majesty's second happy delivery, and the birth of an heir-appa rent to the English throns, will create one universal feeling of joy throughout the kingdom. The public have for some time been expecting this intelligence with impatient anxiety, and the minds of all were made up. to the conviction that the illustrious infant would be a Prince of Wales. Providence has sgraciossly been pleased to realize these anticipations , and to bee tow upon the British nation the strongest possible gua rantee for the continuance of all the innumerable blessings which are involved in that form of govent meat under which we have the happiness to live. The security thus given for the perpetuation, not only of the British Throne, but of the illustrious family by which it is now occupied, calls for the most earnest expressions of gratitude to that Almighty Power who rules over the destinies of nations. Never, perhaps, was the British, or any other Crown worn by a succession of Sovereigns who " bore their faCulties so meek," or were " so clear in their great office," as the Princes of ight tinh be e heir characteristic the House of Brunswick. It has been from first to pointed out in the p la e s r t so ( n w a h l at h e i v s e to %i , n o lp f e s r o f in ec e tio o t r is praise to have endeavoured to understand and act according to the spirit of the Constitution under which , they reign. In their minds, as well as in their conduct, the principles of . Monarchy and pre rogative have been identified with, instead of opposed to, liberty and law. They have been ever found ready to sacrifice their personal inclinations to the good of their subjects, and to the maintenance of the esta blished system, insomuch that the idea of personal in clinations capable of conflicting with the constitution has ceased to find a place in the notion which English men conceive of their Sovereign. And if this has beets always the distinguishing feature of the government of the house of Brunswick, it may be said with justice that tills truly Royal character was never more beautifully represented or exemplified than in the person of our present Sovereign. On her accession to the throne she gave her free and generous confidence to those advisers whom the judgment of the nation,. constitu tionally expressed, had placed round her beneficent predecessor. By their advice she governed, on their responsibility she acted, with a gracious cheerfulness which proved how thoroughly she understood her ex- . !sited duties. When Parliament declared that those Ministers had lost the confidence of the country, her Majesty's confidence was instantly and unreservedly transferred to others whom the voice of the nation pointed I out as more. worthy. No private feelings, no partialities or antipathies, such as the subtle influence of unscrupu lous partisans, having constant access to her person, might have infused into an ordinary mind, ever ex isted on the part of Queen Victoria ; nor, if they had existed, would they h ave b ee n suffered: for an instant to interfere with her high sense of duty. The ingratitude of men in ca p a bl e of understanding how a Sovereign could be gracious without being a partisan had endeavoured to conn ec t h er name w ith faction, and hail represented her as one whom they could persuade to govern by arbitrary methods and coups detut. But lit tle did thesa persons understand the principles of thei r Queen. When the proper opportunity came she cast theta o without hesitation, and t rea t e d t h eir s uccessors with thur, same impartial kindness, the same frank confidencee which she had given to themselves. With such experi-q ence all must rejoice, as in a singular blessing, to seek, , year after year, a succession of scions of the Royal tree springing up round the throne of Queen Victoria. Each of them is a separate pledge of the lasting dura tion of peace, order, liberty, and prosperity to the Bri tish empire. _ _ _ FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CIIRONICLE.—A memorial to the President of the United States was in course of signature by the ship owners of New York, complaining of toe appointment of foreigners to the situation of American Consuls at foreign parts, antl praying for the removal from oflice of all Consuls and commercial agents appointed by the Go vernment of the United States who are not citizens of the United States. The follow ing articles are chargeable with a duty of 10 per cent. ad valorem under thu new American Revenue Bill : Worsted stuff goods and ?hawls ; manufactures of silk and worsted ; manufactures of silks, or of which silk is the component material of chief value, except sewing silk. From this classiticatisotithere will be necessarily ex cepted such enumerated articles as were by former laws charged with higher rates of duty, such as ready-made clothing, of whatsoever materials composed, paying under former laws 50 per cent. ad valorem. _ _ _ Millinery, hosiery, kits, gloves, and bindings, of what soever materials composed, paying under former laws 25 per cent. ad valorem. Coach laces, of whatever materials composed, paying under former laws 35 per cent. ad valorem. lIBBALD.----Exchequer bills are 10s. to 12s. pre mium. Business in the latter Securities is now as regu larly transacted as in ordinary times, and as if no frauds in them had ever been heard of, or the slightest proba bility existed that any would be repudiated on presenta tion for payment or exchange at the appointed time. This cessation of all agitation and excitement on the subject is attributable in fact to the general conviction, which could not fail to gain ground, that all the bills issued without exception, unless in cities where fraud, or collusion, is clearly proveable, will be acknowledged and received in as values. Until after the trial of the criminal parties, and a full acquaintance with all the evidence and facts which must transpire on the occasion, it would be manifestly impossible, as it is absurd to ex pect it, that the Treasury should be in a position to de cide and declare which are, and whick are not to be, bills admissible, because untainted with fraud so far as regards the holders. These are the plain features of the case as now existing, which all the vague and con tradictory speculations put forward day by day seem intended rather to mystify than to render TIMES.—The difficulty of disposing of the loan to the Federal Government recently allowed by Congress ---a difficulty which is so great that the probability of the Americans once more trying the London market, as it were in despair, has been more than once talked of in our monetary circles—is a subject of frequent discussion in the United States Journals, and some of those who from the first were warmly opposed to the distribution of the public lands now ascribe to that measure a deterio ration of public credit to such a degree as fully to account for the difficulty of completing the sub scriptions. Beforehand, they say, with hundreds of millions of acres to pledge, no capitalist could hesitate to advance his money, but now the receipts of the cus toms are the only security on which the lender can rely . ; a most doubtful security in case of war—every one is re fusing to come torward, although capitalists are act"-* at a loss for a safe investment of their murt , ''' scrip is " hawked about," save the v " - f' de by brokers in the great comine.• ' venin g 1)("t ' vernment can pledge nothl- .eud cities, the Go left to pledge, and it P' is an ex aOA ina ry g eircums debts, antifor it has nothing It An only have recourse to the expedient of ms l -; new loans to wipe out old which, principaltt circumstance that t h p a a t y interest. G o few • years ago paid off the whole o a f its Government er debt should now not have credit enough to raise a . few Millions of dollars, and that from its own subjects. In the money market of New York a great deal of excitement has been occasioned by the cashier of the Commercial Bank proving a defaulter. Legal process had been Issued against him, and the affair is cited as one o? the many instances of the evil arising from Di rectors of banks placing too implicit confidence in their officers. SUN.—The holiday which the Lord Mayor's day be gan, the happy birth of a Prince of Wales has rendered complete. Business has been scarcely thought of, except among the graver citizens. The Funds have been rather better upon the news of the safe accouchement. A good deal of anxiety still prevails on the subject of Exchequer bills, and this checks the improvement. For immediate transfer, Con sols have realised $9 to 89k, and for Account, 89f to 891 Exchequer Bills hare been at 10 to 12 premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. hare realised 99f to 994 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities, 88 to 884. The Foreign Market was chiefly characterised by a depression in Spanish Bonds, but this was not of any magnitude. The Active Bonds were quoted at 20i to 1. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 291, and the Three per Cents, at 18 ; C o l om bi an a t 19i to ; Chilian at a rise to 70 and 701; Brazilian at 574 ; and Peruvian at 131. Belgian Bonds realised 1001 to 4 ; French Three per Cents were a shade lower, viz., 79 75 ; and Dutch Five per Cents. were 99 1 to t. Shares continued to. support their value, but, like Stock, they were not much dealt in. Great Western Railway were at 14 to 15. ; Birmingham at 69 ; the New at 23 ; York and North Midland a t 32 ; an d S ou th Western at 13, 1 premium. Brighton were 12 to 121 ; and North Midland, 34 discount. Colonial Bank Shares were 34 ; and Provincial Bank of Ireland, 15 premium. National Provincial Bank of England Shares were It dis. The rate on Hamburgh, to-day, for Bills of Exchange, was less firm, being at 13 9t to 101- ; but on Paris it improved to 25 674, and 724. The rates on the other cities were these :—Amsterdam, 12 44 ; Antwerp, 12 34 to 4 ; Frankfort, 1494 ; and Trieste, 9 53 to 54. The following are the official returns of the exports of the precious metals for the week ending the 2d inst..— Silver Coin to Hamburgh i ß to ri t t t i e s r h da W ni est Indies 1,900 .•• Silver Bars to llamburoth l,OOO ••• Rotterdam THE BANQUET AT GUILDHALL. Two circumstances relieved this entertainment from the usual routine of city festivals ; the first was the birth of an illustrious Prince, which has given joy to every loyal heart throughout the kingdom ; and the second, the first appearance of the representatives of the new Ministry before a large audience of the citizens of Lon don, comprising men of many shades of political opinion. The first—that is, the fond hope of the nation in the birth of a Prince—was the theme of the evening. It was referred to in almost every speech, and every allusion to it was hailed with the most hearty plaudits. The re ception of the Ministers was by no means favourable. On the Right of the Lord Mayor we observed the French Ambassador, the Lord Chancellor, Sir Robert Peel, Lord IV harncliffe, Earl Haddington, Earl Ripon, Lord Stanley, Lord Fitzgerald, Sir James Graham, Lord G. Somerset, Sir H. Hardinge, Sir E. Knatchbull, Earl Lincoln, Earl Delawarr, Earl Jersey, Earl Jermyn, Vis count Canning, Viscount Lowther, Due Andre de Casil liana Laurent, Prince de Corsini, Lord E.

There were also present Mi nisters from the Netherlands, Venezuela, Hanover, Prussia, Brussels, and Saxony; the Charge d'Affaires of Mexico, of Sicily, of Denmark, of Austria, of Russia, and Turkey. On the left were the Duke of Buccleuch, Earl Aberdeen, Lord Hill, Lord Langdale, Lord Abinger, Vice-Chancellors K. Bruce and Wigram, Right Hon.

By what majestic characters among those which bespeak a people rich in their acquisition the elements that com pose the grandeur of empires, has not Britain been desig nated since her Majesty's happy accession to the throne of her ancestors? The alternate triumphs of peace awl war—a lofty pre-eminence among the nations in intellec tual energy and refinement—an undisputed superiOrity in all those arts which improve, adorn, and consolidate our social institutions—the patriotism to prize and the genius to protect those marvellous inventions which outstrip the march of centuries, and overleap, at a bound, the tardy discoveries of our progenitors, in many centuries —inventions, which multiply the forces, the capacity, and the. enjoyments of our species whilst they extend its empire over all the kingdoms of nature animate and inanimate ; these, are of the gifts—" the talents." as it were—wherewith this country was blessed when her Gracious Majesty assumed the sceptre, and which it has been permitted to improve from that moment up to the present hour. In the birth of a Prince, to whom, in the course of nature—and at a clay distant as the affections of her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects would desire to witness the transfer—that sceptre may be destined to pass, we see the most gladening prospect of the continuity, under the Divine permission, of this golden chain of sovereignty, within the salutary and gentle restraints of which public peace, opulence and security will work their mission, in undisturbed efficiency, of giving permanency, vigour and conso lid a ti on to " British greatness," in the most ample and beneficent sense of the term. Hail, then, to the infant Prince ! And may he realise, in their fullest extent, and least alloyed combination, the splendid f ortunes to which his birth and lineage, the constitution of his country, and the wishes of the nation, alike design 1.1 i„, The LORD MAYOR gave, as the first toast, " Her Ma jest~y the Queen."—(Loud cheers.) 11le LORD MAMOR Was delighted to propose, as the next toast, "The Infant Prince, the Heir Apparent to the Throne."—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering.) The LORD MAYOR then gave, " The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal Family." 'the next toast was, "The Army and Navy." Lord HILL returned thanks for the army. In doing so, lie was understood (for he was all but inaudible) to congratulate the company on the auspicious birth of a Prince, who, from personal observation, he could take on himself to say was a remarkably fine boy.—(Great cheer ing.) He could assure the company he felt most grate • ful for the compliment they had paid the service to which he belonged. Ile might, perhaps, be allowed to men tion, as a reason why he felt an additional interest in their proceedings, that, in 1541, an ancestor of his own occupied that chair as the first Protestant Lord Mayor. Lord CoLvium returned thanks for the navy. The LORD MAYOR then proposed, "Count St. Aulairc, and the Foreign Ambassadors." Count ST. AULAIRE addressed the company with much earnestness in French, and expressed his extreme regret that he had to address that company in a lan, guage which was not known to the whole. He felt a most anxious desire to express the delight he felt at being present at a Lord Mayor's feast on such a day a s the present. It had dawned auspiciously, and he trusted that the brightness of the dawn would be fully borne out by the continued splendour of the day.—(Loud cheers.) He begged to assure the company that not only did France look to England with a friendly and brotherly feeling, but the Royal Family of France entertained a "family" and most intimite affection for the Royal Family of England.-- (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR gave " her Majesty's Ministers," which was responded to with cheers. Sir.R.PEEL returned thanks. He said, my Lord May or , Ladies, and Gentlemen, whatever obligation her Ma jesty's Ministers may owe to you for the compliment you have just paid them, I should ill respond to the feelings which you have expressed in so enthusiastic a manner if I did not on their parts express, in the first in stance, • their cordial satisfaction at being allowed to join with their fellow-subjects in this ancient hall in expressing their feelings of exultation at that auspicious event which will make this day memorable in the an nals of . the empire —(Loud cheers)—and which, by completing tlit domestic happiness of her Majesty, and f a e n e d lin t u s )f feelin g will dif fuse the - POST.—The announcement yesterday of the birth of fuse itself throughout the land as rapidly as the intelli gence of the happy event can be conveyed.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged lsv the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in terest ing cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. Tho proverbial a•4l well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, hat been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicipus effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that th' principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicaMe tha.ti in medical practice. 'We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by wham the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preeeptor, or a Clergyman. 'lle PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast. approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence: of .eme disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its le I cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, wi,i, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tuntlis of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perisli of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth muvh more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

FREDERICK THE GREAT.---A wink entitled " Frederick the Great and his Times," is on the point, we understand, of making its appearance. tinder the dis tinguished auspices of Mr. Thomas Campbell. The sub ject is one of such romantic interest, historical import ance, and intellectual excitement and curiosity, that it cannot fail to attract unusual attention. We understand that a large proportion of its personal details (which ex tend to nearly all the distinguished individuals with whom Frederick and his eccentric father came - into con tact) will be entirely now to the En g li s h rea d er, b e i ng culled from sources which have only recently been disco vered and opened by Continental writers. The.epoch in question combines in a singular and anomalous manner the barbarism of the Middle Ages, withthe false refine ment, and still falser philosophy, of the school of Vol taire and Diderot ; and a just delineation of its features is still a desideratum which, we understand, the forth coating work will furnish. PRICE 5d presenting an.heir apparent to the British throne, will fill with joy the universal people of this great country. — (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I rejoice that yoe have had an opportunity of manifesting such feelings of loyalty in the presence of distinguished foreigners—the representa tives of po%verfut and friendly -States. I rejoice that you have had another opportunity of showing that whatever political differences may divide us, and what ever may be tho conflicts of party inseparable from the working of free and popular Governments, we are all united as one man in sentiments of attach ment to the monarchy, and in a feeling - of devotion to the person of our Sovereign.—.(Loud cheers.) The feel ings which they have witnessed this day is an example of the feelings which pervade the whole inha bitants of this country. The people of this country will see with delight the prospect of increased security fur their liberty and happiness, and they will look forward with hope and joy to the succession in the fulness of time to the throne of his ancestors of the Prince who had been born this day, and who they confidently trust shall —formed under the care and instructed by the example of his illustrious parents—at some future, and, as we pray, most distant day, prove himself worthy of the high destiny to which he is called—worthy of filling the throne of this United Kingdom, of protecting the Con stitution, and advancing the liberties and happiness of a free and generous people.—(Long -continued cheering.) Gentlemen, I must now, on behalf of her Ma jesty's Government, return you our warmest thanks for the manner in which you have received the propo sal from the Chair. they are deeply sensible of the weighty importance which attaches to the favourable opinion and confidence of the city of London. They know what powerful elements are these to any Govern ment, and they look forward as the highest rewards for the cares and toils of official life that they..shall prove themselves worthy of your confidence and esteem. That that is the feeling of every individual to whom her Ma jesty has confided the high trust of office I am satisfied; and, allow me to say, that if I were insensible of such considerations, I should be peculiarly unworthy the post I hold.. I cannot enter the city of London without a feeling of pride at my connection with that mercantile industry, of which this city is the chief seat. Nor can I take my place in this hall without recalling my obligations to the city of London,. and without remem bering the proofs of confidence which I have received within these walls, and which now encourage me to address you, not as a stranger, but as a fellow-citizen , proud of his co nnec ti on w i t h your e i ty.—(Grut cheering.) In these feelings my colleagues dially participate, and it is not the language "- tery, it is not the language of mere compile- of flat- I assure you that we feel i n our collect 4- -ent, when deep anxiety to testify on every woe' • ve capacity a the authorities of your City, and ... ! un our respect fur co . -operate with them in pro- _. our earnest desire to lily, and advancing th e .noting the public tranquil bitants.—(Cheers. - comfort and welfare of the inha propose the ts-e• ) Allow me, before I sit down, to „h„, h as t t • .st of the health of the Chief Magistrate, conP day entered on his high office.

The Loaf) MAYOR returned thanks, and proposed The LORD CHANCELLOR, who said that after an in terval of several years, he had great pleasure in meet ing in that place so many friends and acquaintances. He had again witnessed with pleasure the performance of their ancient' ceremonies, and he had again the grati fication of seeing them surrounded with their own in signia. He rejoiced, above all, that they still conti nued to possess that extensive property which they had always so liberally and so beneficially administered. lie further rejoiced that they still retained those important privileges which they had that day exercised in West minster Hall—privileges which they had invariably ma nifested in support of the great principles of the Consti tution. There was a period when he despaired of their maintenance, but the storm that threatened us had blown over, and they had survived its effects. His Lordship had been pleased to advert to the office which he then held, and to the fact that on former occasions he had been honoured with this high trust. There were cir cumstanees connected With his present possession of office which rendered his appointment peculiarly gratifying. If they would allow him to advert to so dry a subject as the law, he should explain what he meant in a few words. For many years, as unfortunately was well known to this country, there had existed an accumula tion of causes in the Court over which he presided, and which none of his predecessors had been able to reduce. No person laboured more conscientiously or effectively for ithat purpose than his immediate predecessor, but with no better result. He congratulated them on the prospect of a more favourable state of things. An in crease in the powers of the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery had been obtained, and this standing reproach would now be entirely removed. Should his expectation be realised, he should have the satisfaction of feeling that he had in no inconsiderable degree discharged the debt which he owed his country, and that he had not held the seals in vain. —(Cheers.) " The Duke's " health was given at the end of the evening, and received, of course, with loud cheers. The other civic toasts were then drunk, and the com pany separated. THE LIGHTING OF THE GUILDHALL. The lighting of the scene of entertainment was upon the most splendid scale, and might be truly styled the chef d'ffuvre of gas illumination. Three beautiful chan deliers of large dimensions gave light to the upper re gions of the lofty hall ; but the most magical effect pro ceeded from the countless beads of light. which, like so many sparkling diamonds, marked out the sixteen com partments of gothic architecture which composed the side walls. The star on the western window, with its 2,000 jets of light, and consisting of several hundred weight of cut glass, was the gem of the evening. We were given to understand that the tout ensemble of light thrown upon the scene of festivity was equal to the light given by 71,640 wax candles. - The distribution of the lights was as follows :—Three great chandeliers, 5,500 jets of light ; sixteen gothic compartments, 6,600 ditto ; East window, 1,200 ditto ; West window, 1,200 ditto ; Grand star, 2,000 ditto ; Queen's Bench,:2so ditto ; Lobbies, 150 ditto ; Council chamber, centre chandelier, with Lowe's new burners, 5,180 ditto ; Passages, 800 ditto ; Total, 23,880 jets ; each of the jets giving the light of three wax candles ; .the whole gave light equal to that produced by 71,640 wax candles, or 11,940 pounds weight. It is calculated that that quantity of wax would burn no more than from five to six hours, whereas, the lighting of Guildhall, which commences at half-past three o'clock, seldom is turned off till half-past three in the morning. The ex hibition of the gas in the Guildhall, on this occasion, was the first public exhibition of Lowe's patent gas, to which the inventor gave the name of Prince of Wales's gas, in honour of the event, the announcement of which was received with so much enthusiasm in the building. Mr. Lowe, as it was the anxious wish of the directors of the Chartered Gas Company, that the lighting up of the Guildhall, upon this occasion should exceed any former attempt, introduced a gas governor to insure uni formity of pressure, and also his patent apparatus for in creasing the illuminating power supplying the three large chandeliers in the hall, and the magnificent chan delier in the Council-chamber. MURDER OF GENERAL A YMERIC. Extract of a letter dated "Palma, 28th October :" " Our town, generally so tranquil, was on Sunday,. the 25th, suddenly disturbed by a frightful GenerarAymeric, formerly a Minister of Ferdinand was assassinated in a dastardly manner by a party of e t; os b )l e h l lni g h i g ug a to r: thtehecorteptas oils fficers c th er is s i r n ev t o h l e ut g io a n rr a is l on e . 2a t'l d i sanguinary scene, which I have collected and can vouch for their authenticity:— "At about eight o'clock in the evening a body of about thirty men, wrapped up in large cloaks, and wearing hats similar to those worn nt Valencia, sud denly sailed out from several streets leading to the hotel where General Aymeric had alighted in company with his son. After posting sentinels at the extremities of these streets, in order to blockade the passage, th e band proceeded to the hotel of General Aymeric, and de manded to speak with him. Scarcely had the General appeared at the threshold of his room when the assassins rushed upon him, and dragging him by the feet through the mud, they fell upon him with their poniards, and left him weltering in his blood, singing and shouting as they with drew. A patrol, drawn thither by the disturbance, ap proached them, but was withheld f rom i nterfering, pro bably because they recogithed the rioters to be officer,. Finding, however, the unfortunate General stretched lifeless on the ground they hastened to raise him and con vey him to his hotel, where he expired yesterday morn ing amidst the most dreadful agonies, and without hav ing, even for a moment, recovered the use of his facul ties. While all this was taking place the General's son was with the military commander of the town, whom he had sought out to entreat, though in vain, that he would afford succour and protection to his father ; for an offi cious friend had on the Sunday afternoon informed the General's son that the project was on foot of assassi nating his father on the same evening. All the entrea ties of the son to obtain only a guard of protection for his father were useleas ; the commander of the town af fected to disbelieve that any danger threatened the life of General Aymeric, and even on hearing of his assassina tion he refused to order out the troops until the munici pal authorities had declar, d that unless that measure were taken they feared an insurrection on the part of tho in habitants. " This inexplicable conduct on the part of the military or commander has spread alarm among the inhabitants of u town, the more as it is perfectly ascertained that the assassins were no other than the members of the Radioal Club, belonging to the Secret Society- (Cabi/e) of Barcelona. This Club still subsists, notwithstanding the orders of the Government of Madrid, who directed that it should be dissolved, while, on the contrary, it makes a display of such daring recklessness that the peaceful citizens are alarmed, and already begin to desert the town, and conceal themselves in the country. The anarchy which exists among us is at its highest pitch ; we have, it is true, the shadow of a Government, but it is so weak that scarcely has it strength to support itself, much less to support its subjects and protect them from the fury of these Radicals." In the reign of C harles the First , a Mayor of Norwich actually sent a poor fellow to prison, for say ing the Prince of Wales was born without a shirt.— Cambridge Advatiecr. £VENINC46*N. I FINANCIAL EMI A . SSMENTB 1 OF ENGL - •64 .. • The Courrier Francais has le under the above title, is which, after stating, b. it on .what authority dyes not appear, that " the B lo f ie rloid Paring t o a p p l y to the Bank o ct faiTtoh. suc cour," says is . pre " Two years ago, when the Bank of England made its first application to 113, some suspicious persona ad vised that a refusal should be given. We were not of the same opinion. France was the ally of England, and• nothing at that time indicated the unworthy conduct which, he British Government subsequently pursued. The fall of the Bank of England might have been a ge tastrophe for Europe, and although neither our capitil nor oar credit was engaged, we thought that France was bound to.. be generous,. and she was so in • saving the credit of our neighbours. What gratitude have we re ceived ? It is time to say. English pride, that mad and ridiculously ungrateful pride, was hurt at the itlya of owing anything to ns. For a long time eight or tell London jour nals periodically reproached the Bank of England with the humiliation which it inflicted on English commerce by receiving money from the Bank of France. Then arrived the events of Syria, in presence of which that commerce, so proud of its pacific virtues, did not find a word to say against the Machiavel au petit pied, which was compro mising the peace of the world 'ay transferring the alli• ante of England with France to Russia. At length we became in want Of money in our turn, and M. llemann talked of borrowing ; at that moment Whigs and Torie cried out in concert in the journals, at the Bourse and in the offices of the Bank, "Button up your pockets, draw tight _your purse-strings, take care of your money s and do not let the French have any of it." We will reply in the same way ; we will be selfish in our turn. The English have told their capitalists not to lend us any money ; we will advisee our capitalista not to lend theirs, and this will not be going be• yond the limits of legitimate reprisals. Besides, the state of credit in France does not permit us to be genes rous a second time. We have to provide for the trite rest of the loan of 150 millions—considerable capital is wanting for the execution of the railways which are contemplated, whether it be for Companies or to tho State. This is not the moment to send our specie abroad in exchange for paper, the value of which becomes more and more doubtful every day. The situation of Eng land is known, and it may be stated in two words, The labouring classes are without employment s ttel bread is dear. The stook of cor n on h an d i s sas e.v.ituist etl— two millions of quarters of foreign corn 'nave been im ported—and there is none in attar_ It is calculated that from two to three millie: ds o f will be necessary to meet quarters more the' deficiency occasioned . _ by a bad harvest• Thin, corn must be had chiefly from Poland an d t h e Crimea, where it must be paid for in species c onsequently the Bank of England, which is they P'.tnd depot of specie, will have so trawls the I , ess ` order to judge of the extent of the danger, it is " 11 ' . mta . ut to state - th - c precise situation of the sank C Since the month of September, the eireu ,- -.nig medium of the Bank in paper money has increased 38 millions of francJ., whilst the metallic reserve which ought in the same proportion to have increased 13 mil lions, has diminished 12,827,000 f. The paper circula tion of the Bank of England is 437 millions (of francs), and for all the Banks of the United Kingdom 900 mil lions, and to meet the demands for reimbursement the Bank of England, the base upon which the entire edifice of public credit reposes, had on the 16th. of last month only a reserve of 108 millions. In such a state of things a bank is not very distant from a suspension of payment. It will be said, perhaps, that a loan of 50 millions of francs would save the Bank of England. If this were the fact, notwithstanding the too well-founded complaints of France, there might be ground for hesitation as to a refusal, But we should, by lending money to that establishment, merely prolong its dying pangs. its con s tit u tion i s no t robust enough to resist the financial crisis which periodi cally. result from the commercial legislatiorof the coun try. So long as the English Government shall not have reformed its Corn-laws, the credit of the bank must go on declining. The English attempted, in a similar situ ation, to keep up the American banks when they were shaken by the extent of their speculations. It is known that the attempt failed, and involved the Bank of Eng land further in the financial shipwreck of the United States. Let thi:i example, which is of so recent date, serve us as a lesson. We should no more be able to save the Bank of England than the English' were able to save the Bank of the United States. We shall act prudently, therefore, to allow the storm to pass over our heads, whilst we take shelter from its effects." PARISIAN CHIT CHAT. (From the Quotidienize.) Discord is in the camp. The rue de Courcelles is arrayed against the chateau of St. Cloud, and for the last week Queen Christina has closed her doors against M. Guizot and Count do Salvandy, the French Ambassador to the Regent Espartero ; even the Duke d'Aumale, the to-be-son-in-law of Christina, according to the choice of the Debals, has no longer accc as to his mother-in-law in prospective. since be refused to diaw his sword and go to the rescue of his intended, who re mains a prisoner amongst her rebel subjects. There cer tainly is a screw loose between Christina and the Orleans family, each reproaching the other with the unsucceisful tarmination of the O'Donnell echauffouree. At St. Cloud the ex- Regent is accused of having compromised the French Government, by a badly-planned and not feasible enterprise ; Christina, on the other hand, reproaches her noble relations with the non-fulfilment of their promises. All these recriminations of disappointed ambition would only scrve to be laughed at were not the name and in terests of France mixed up in the affair, and we might say of Queen Christina and of M. Guizot, as of Le clerc and of his friend Cures— " lfais aussitot quo l'ouvrags a paru, Plus n'unt voutu l'avoir fait Pun ni l'autre." The Duke d'Aumala is not, however, the only one who is wit a pied in consequence of defe..t of O'Donnell. M. de -S-atiancly himself feels like a fish out of water. 0116 hour be receives an order to start for his post, the next he receives a counter-order. He goes from the Foreign-office to Saint Cloud, and front Saint Cloud to the Foreign•office, and the only con solation he derives in this equivocal position is from seeing the daily announcement in the Court para graph, that " Count de Sslvandy, Ambassador from France to the Court of Madrid, was received by the King." It appears highly probable that he will not start at all. This calls to our mind the misadventure which happened under the regency of Anne of Austria to the poet Benserade, who bad been appointed to an embassy by Cardinal Mazarin, but who never ;vent to his post, which called forth the iol!owit g piece of pleasantry from Scarron, in one of his epistles : " L'an quo le Sicur de Benserade N'alia pas a son ambassade. The political dinners of M. Demidoff are be4inii!ng to create a sensation. M. Thiers, it is well known, pre sides at them ; M. Guizot is uneasy at them ; an d Count de Pollen liughs at them. At the List dinner, the Quintus Curtius of Napo!con proved that the Rus sian campaign was badly conceived and badly directed, and that the Emperor committed blunders which he (M. Tillers) would not have been guilty of. M. Demi doff, who looks upon himself as the nephew of the Em peror, considered himself called upon to defend the plans of campaign of his uncle. M. Demidoff and M. Wert are to go together to explore the fields of Smo lensk° and Moscow. Mow. Dosne and Mme. Demidoff are to be of the party, for which permission is to be so licited from the Emperor Nicholas. --- The Londoners are, it appears, to be gratified by having French plays this winter. Mr. Mitchell, a gentleman well versed in dramatic affairs, has been here beating up for recruits. Carligny, Volnys, and Mdllc. Avenel, set off in a few days. Dejazet will go over in March, and Bouffe and :Mlle. Plessy in April and May. A sensation is created in the salons of Paris' by the project of reform about carrying out by Count &Oran'', who is going to sbdicate the throne of fashion, and retire to Brussels, where a grandc dame of his acquaintance has just purchased an hotel. A rival in dandyism Con soles himself with the idea that when D'Orsay his la , " he shall sport the finest umbrella in town." INFLUENeEOFTHETIMBER DITTIES ON OUR SKIPPING.
