N. I3 ' OS, ~ `' \ - de last_Grand Banquet at Guildhall was one of the 4 ' roost splendid for several years. The new Lotto MAYOR w(t ' s a Tory, and the new Ministry was also Tory—a ti consummation long devoutly wished for by all the dorie s in the City, as well as at the " West-end." As a ?natter of course, great preparations were made to celebrate an occasion so doubly gratifying to all I °Yla. people ; and when there's " a dinner in the case," it is much the same as when there's a lady—and here there happened to be both a dinner and a LADY of the first order, with a " broth of a Bor"—a future King --into the bargain ! No wonder, then, that the hearts of the Citizens should be elated with joy worthy Of a grand Lord Mayor's Day. Of money there is always plenty in the City. and a tolerable portion of wit 4 ' ,0 in those who get it ; but on the present occasion the w it Was how to spend it to the best advantage. A good die ter • is one thing—'out to make it appear a much bet ter entertainment: is another ; and in both essen tials the Citizens., ed each other. Taking a lesson 11 0 doubt from The Golden Sun, Mr. 14 , 41 , ILLIAM THORNBORROW, - the worthy Honorary Secre ,,j tar s of the Committee, wished to compliment the "Lapany assembled at the dinner bydoing honour to QtEEN I r tcrowle's SON in a suitable manner, and ac i..`4 " rd ingly he pr esen t e d the Cabinet -Ministers and the great officers of State, with the bill of fare printed in gold, fn satin i Sir 'ROBERT PEEL, the LORD CHANCELLOR, others, were so well pleased, and taken by surprise, ; that they had the conscience to ask for more ! This is llot to be wondered at, * seeing that th?.y were Tories, f ior t!!eir conscience has np.legitimate bounds, over a good dinner —at the cxpense of others ! Every one agreed that the fare Was g6od, but that the BIWA OF FARE Ras better ! It is rather questionable if they would h ave said so of an Exchequer bill. " Ah!" exclaimed e Noble Lord (we sink names, because after 'Ratter people come down to an equality of feeling), t his golden af-fair (meaning after fare) is a clever de "ee: of the Lord Mayor's, who is a cannie Scot, to Pleitse the PRINCE of WALES on Lis birthday." " He's ° 0 far north for that," said anr.ther ; " he's paving the I °Q .Y with gold for the Christeni - ag !" The PRIME MINIS 'En, whose eyes and ears are everywhere, on this occasion i l h iai led assent. In this w• - 4y the talk and the toastoof „ e : e "ning went on till ' S he bill o f fare won the golden - „v' n '°os of all. Bat there was a still higher T °Pinion " in -atom - for the happy idea. Mr. ,r 4R "oßnow, wishing to carry the golden homage re to the source o f Royalty, had a ver y superb i o Py of the bin of /are sent to his Royal Highness ALBERT, as a:memorial of the birth of his Sox, I)and the ounded joy of the Citizens of London. The t C l lct :as highly pleased with the compliment paid to th ef uttn:e Ring of England, an was graciously pleased to THORNBORROW for his patriotic attention.

Do ! , E LATE FIRE AT THE TOWER OF Los aPlen. Monday the workmen employed in removing the ev e , piece of architecture which formed the pediment to te /t he grand entrance to the Armoury, had nearly piked, in this particular, their /abours.

Last night the Committee assembled at Guildhall, for the purpose of completing the arrangements, which are upon a scale of magnificence far exceeding any former display for the accommodation and entertainment of so large a company as will assemble to render service to the Polish exiles. Mr. CARE. (the Secretary) stated, in answer, to ques tions from several of the members, who were apprehen sive that the visitors would he too numerous, that espe cial care bad been taken to guard against such an in convenience as roust result from the presence of a greater nunefer. than had been present upon any former occasion. Indeed the tickets had been received by so many noble families that it would be but a very bad compliment to them to introduce them to the annoy ance of too crowded a Hall, with the knowledge that many of them had remained in town, and many had re fused other invitations, in order to give an eclat tolhe Polish Ball and Concert.—(Cheers.) Mr. PEACOCK (the Chairman) stated that the sale of tickets had justified him in ordering that refreshments should be supplied for 1,600 persons, and Mr. Terry, of New Broad -street, was engaged in preparing everything necessary in that respect. He expressed much satisfac tion at the enthusiasiasm caused upon the present occa sion, notwithstanding the interposition of so many cir• curnstances of excitement which appeared to him to 1 )e quite sufficient to damp the sympathy, judging i .rom what was passing in society, with a charity; of an ordinary description. The fact was, howe';er, that from a com bination of benevolent efforts and intentions, includiry , the conduct of all wto joined in this great work of charity—the nail Polish Ball and Concert neverfaDilet ---LEC:'d- neers.) Lord STLLUIT said that he would not any where, or in any circumstances, refrain from expressing his deep sense of gratitude to theyress of London, the conductors of which, laying aside all party feeling and pretiodices, joined as one man in calling upon the people of this enlightened metropolis to assist in the pious and glorious work of saving so many noble and valiant men from the awful calamities which so frequently menaced at this dreary season of the year.--(Loud cheers.) If it had not been for the generous contributions of heir columns the cause of the poor Poles would, have long since sunk even in this country, in which their cha racter was most fairly appreciated, and in which their struggles for liberty were naturally most warmly ad mired.--;-(Cheers.) The. Committee sat till a late hour, in superintending the several arrangements for the reception of the com pany. The Hall was lighted up, and its brill!ancy was excessive. The floor had a very beautiful appearance, having been painted in the most tasteful manner, and the Committee retired in the positive expectation of seeing this evening the greatest of all their triumphs. SURREY THEATRE. Romeo and Juliet was performOd at this theatre last evening, for the purpose of introqucing a young lady, named Waverley, to a London audience, in the character of Juliet. Miss Waverley is rather tall, her figure is good, her countenance very expressive, and her voice, powerful, yet sweet, is completely under command. Her elocution is correct, and her action, although at times excessive, is generally graceful and appropriate. On her first appearance she was labouring under such an extreme degree of nervousness as evidently to prevent her doing justice to herself in the earlier scenes. She gradually overcame this feeling as she became accus tomed to her audience ; and the balcony scene, more especially towards the conclusion, was given with great taste, feeling, and judgment. Her first great hit was in the lines, _ _ " Swear by thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry." She threw into the words an expression ofconfiding, trust ing tenderness and lore, which seemed the overflowinc , of a heart bursting with affect:on—a heart so filled with love that there was no room in it for any thought or feeling of self, or friends, or kindred. To her Romeo was all in all —her world—her heaven. He was, indeed, the god of her idolatry. The audience appreciated her exquisite manner of giving this passage, and rewarded her with long-continued and well-merited applause. This seemed to give her courage, apd she went through the remainder of the part without the betrayal of any further symptoms of nervousness', Her scene with the Nurse, excellently acted by Mrs W. Daly, was very good; she felt she was a woman, and was indignant at being treated like a child, and then, recollecting the old Nurse's former kindnesses, she became for a short time the playful girl again, to soothe the irritated feelings of the ta st y old woman. Her attitude in throwing her self into her Nurse's lap was exceedingly graceful, and the manner of doing it playful, without being hoydenish. In the scene in which she is informed of Tybalt's death and Romeo's punishment she was very effective. The parting scene with Romeo was given with exquisite feeling and pathos. In the conclus ion of this scene. Miss Waverley introduced a new and, as it strikes us, a most appropriate reading. She is torn. as it were, from Romeo by the Nurse, and is led off the stage, sobbing and almost faint from excess of emotion. In this scene Also she was much applauded. Although the commence ment of the scene in Lavvrence:s cell, in which she threatens to stab herself, was .somewhat overacted, yet the conclusion was admirably given.. The play of her features when the Friar is describing to.her the effect of the potion he is about to administer,, stud her tremulous shrinking from him when he tells her she Must be carried to the old ancestral tomb, to lie there as one dead for 48 hours, were most expressive. IThirOffifidoubt—all, at last, giving way to love and faith , in liim , she-loved—that love inspiring her with the courage and fortitude to go through all these horrors, transforming the „timid, shrink ing, fearful girl, at once into the.bigh-souled. woman — such, it was evident, were the,fcalings agitating her breast, and it needed no words to, give them full expres sion. In the scene in which she. drinks the sleeping draught, she gave the celebrated soliloquy with great power and effect ; and after drinking the potion, sunk on her knees, crossed her hands upon her breast, bowed her head, and remained a short time in the at titude of prayer. This point is a new one, and shows that Miss Waverley thoroughly understands the confiding, trusting faith which is the distin guishing trait in the character of Juliet. Witness her unshaken faith in Romeo's love—in the Friar's honesty —in her Nurse's fidelity—and how appropriate is it that she, the fond, confiding, trusting, faithful Juliet ) should, in her agony, thus show her faith in Providence. Her dying scene was exquisitely pathetic, and when she threw herself on Romeo's corpse it was in the very agony of despair. At the fall of the curtain she was loudly called for, and greeted with bursts of well-de served applause. This young lady has evidently much to learn before she can become a finished actress, but she has nothing to unlearn. There IS no straining after effect, no attempt to make points, nor the remotest ap proach to imitation. She is moreover entirely free from that monotonous drawling whine which mars the elocu tion of some of our most azcomplished actresses. She has yet to acquire the secret of repose, but that can only be attained by constant practice,and a familiar acquaintance with the stage. Let her study assiduously, trusting at the same time solely to the promptings of her own mind for her conception of character, and avoidiug all imitation, and mannerism, and conventionalism, from which she is at Present entirely free, and she cannot but attain a high rank in her profession. Mr. Graham, who was suffering severely from cold and hoarseness, was the Romeo ; and he certainly acted that difficult character in a manner on the whole very creditable to his taste and judgment. We have seen many worse Romeos, but, with the exception of Charles Kemble, few better. This gentleman is no disciple of any particular school. He has that faith itt himself without which no man can attain to eminence ; :and we doubt not to see him occupying it very respectable position in the k rofessiuti which he has chosen. The Surrey company is greatly strengthened by the accession of Miss Waverley and Mr. G raham and we have no doubt but that the legitimate drama will prove as successful at this theatre as cpera and equestrians have done. The piece was well got up, and the house was crowded. The horses are gone—Duerow has made hit tYilt for the season, and the legitimate drama has resumed its sway. Mr. Graham made his first appearance since his re turn from his provincial engagements on Monday evening, and chose the character of Coriolanus for that purFose . This gentleman has improved amazingly by his Idio yincial practice, and his Coriolanus is a very creditable performance. A new drama of diablerie followed, under the title of Don Juan de Murano, or Good and Evil Angels. The bills state it to be an adaptationfrom the French, but the adapter might have saved himself the expense of purchasing the French libretto, for the piece is neither more nor less than ,a of h piece, which, t p in i d er e i r e, t p he on d G iff io e v re a n n t ni t , it a le n s d eTfhLlue Libertinefttruan,DLeseirFoyesedti,nhdaes been a stock piece at every theatre in Europe tbr the last two hundred years. Don Juan de M &remit is, in fact, " our ancient friend Don kl sta, y and runs the same wild career of debauchery, gambling, and murder, having pivvicutsly entered into actual compact with the Evil One ; while, in the old Don Juan, if we recollect aright, the • compact is merely an impl ied one. The career of the new Don Juan, like that of his prototype, is brought to a Conclu sion through the intervention of the monumental statue of one of his victims; and we see him, like the hero of " the pantomine, Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time," a goodly company of the ghosts of his victims standing in the back ground, to witness the performance. The piece (which was successful) has been got up with great care and attention. The scenery is very beautiful, and reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Brunning. Novelty is he the order of the day at this theatre. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON SECOND EXAMINATION, NOVEMBER, 1841. BACHELOR OF MEDICINE.

His body, after being cut up, was hung upon the branches of the neighbouring trees, there to meet titi gaze of the traveller, and tell him of a power that knows - nothing of the bounds of law, or of human authority ; but like the beitSt6 Of tlig wilderness would snap the fragile chords of life, if in terest once stirred:up the fatal ire of their wrath, upon him whose voice dare rise ugainst their iniquities: The deceased man, whose name itttS noatWright had thus oftended them ; he had with other of his fellow-citizens declared himself openly to be opposed to them; and as might have been expected, in a country like outs, where from the scarceness tit trOntiet population, the avenues W the wrath of banditti are Wide open, the tinfortimate mart had to forfeit his life as a ransom for his alienatign tti their authority, The Eitistmis of Oui bok&r cOuiltiY faire witnessed these men, under the name of regulators and Moderators, committing in the territory of Texas some of the most barbarous cruelties of the 19 th century. - The country on our border towards the 33d :degree of: latitude is the principal scene of action; and. it is Init.& few years ago, that an American, who had shipped from New Orleans to one ofjheir towns a laige,assortment of groceries and dry goods, was routed out ; ; and his goods forcibly taken off by the gang. &thing WAS ever done about it, and the act g, now almost forgotten. - A while ago, one of the Captains of the Regulators and a man that was with him; Ivai shot in a small village of the name of Logansport. The Captain and the person with him had not long been gone from the store where they had been making when a discharge of a 'purchase-4 muskets was heard by t h e store k ee p e r. ti e rushed . out,,and soon discovered the two bodies lying on the round ; there was no one near, and he was left to conjecture the cause 'of their deaths Examining mi nutely the place around; it was not long befote he dis covered on the earth ; tioi - eath talleh ifek..% the im press 'of five or six men ; and it thus appears that these two men had been shot doWn without quarrel or fight— without intimation, and with the most cool determina tion. In view of their enormities we cannot wonder why Boatwright, or any other American citizen should have expressed their dissatisfaction. But we shall not seek arguments to prove what the bare facts evince ; and we call upon the friends of this man and the citizens gene rally to bring this act before their Government, and let it claim jbor., attention. The subject is one certainly that ought to demand its highest.consideration.—Natchi toches Herald, Oct. 9. FURTHER FROM MEXICO. Havanah papers, received at New Orleans, contain ad vices from the city of Mexico to the 2d of September, at which time insurrection was in full progress. General Valencia made a grito 'on the 31st of August, for the con stitution of 1824, being at the head of a considerable mi litary force. The alarm quickly sproad, and a number of edifices commanding the citadel, were occupied by the insurgents. Bustamente and his party fortified themselves in the palace, but up to the itd of September no attempt to lodge the insurgents had been made, Valencia content ing himself with holding his position until the arrival of Santa Anna, and Bustamente not daring to attack him. The students at the military academy had joined Va lencia. His force was more than 1,600 men, with 18 pieces of cannon—that of Bustamente about 1,000. YELLOW FEVER AT Pc,NsAcoLA.—We learn by a gentleman from Pensacola, that on the 17th inst. the health of that city was improving. There were only a few cases on that day. Out of a population of eight hundred there had been eleven deaths. Of the officers and crew of the Levant, every one had been on the sick list, and no less than fifteen deaths had occurred. And on board the French fleet there had been ten deaths, including the fleet surgeon and the carpenter of the Sabine. The squadron had sailed for the West Indies. One death at the Navy-yard had cast a gloom over the whole place. On the 15th, Rubert Meade, secretary to Commander Dallas,- died after an illness of only thirty holm!, He was esteerned by all who knew him. He was a son of the American Consul at Cadiz, and brother of Lieut. Meade, of the navy.—American Paper. FROM THE Rio PLATA.—The Arcturus, at Boston, from Buenos Ayres, brings dates to the 12th of August. Of political news there is nothing of interest. There was a report that the British Government had offered to mediate between Rosas and the Monte Videan Govern- ment ; but the opinion was generally entertained that unless driven by some serious reverses, General Roses would never listen to its overtures. The following no tice is given to masters of vessels :--" Masters of vessels coming to this port should be careful to make out their manifests with black or red ink, as otherwise they are liable to be much delayed and perplexed on entering at the Resguardo and Custom-house. Should any of the papers required be written with blue ink, the officers in attendance positively refuse to admit the vessel to entry, until fresh copies are . written out in a colour more conge nial to their politiCal feelings and taste." Mon I'ntcE Trott A SLAVt. , ---We quote the statement from the Courier.of last evenink,: ; --A curious scene was witnessed to-day at'the St. LoutS . Exchange. The city marshal, at the usual hour, proCeeded to the sale of a female slave, seized in the suit of E. Johns, a free man of colour, versus Lockwood; a free woman of colour. The plaintiff, we are told, is either the husband or brother of the slave under seizure, and showed not a little anxiety to become the purchaser. The bidding commenced—a white man in the crowd bidding against the man of colour, as high as the sum of 7,800 dols. The coloured man, however, bid 8,000 tiols., and the slave was adjudged to be his property.

BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY. A Meeting of this Company took place yesterday at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the accounts from the Secretary, and other statements rela tive to the mines in the possession of the Company. There Was a large latent - lance of Proprietors at two o'clock, the hour at which the meeting was called. J. WALKER, Esq., took . the chair, and called on The SECRETARY to read the minutes of the last meet ing, which were COttlitinetli He then read the Report of the Company; which stated the prospects of the mines were looking up; belt that they were unsettled. Still it CO necessary to adopt the strictest economy. The accounts showed a plotit fdt the current year of upwards of 4,0001.

After a short discUSSion the' Report was received, and the itteetihg separated at'about three o'clock. `TRAGICAL EVENT. 70 TIM EDITOR OIL ThE SUN. Sin,—A most tragical event took place at the Burnley Barracks last evening. I understand (though living six miles from the place) that during last night, about half pest ten o'clock, Lieut. O'Grady, belonging to the 60th Rifles, now lying at the above barracks, was caught in company with a female by a person whom I understand was paying his addresses to her. On his approach to the parties he instantly stabbed his officer, then the female and lastly himself so determined did he appear for self-destruction that he absolutely cut open his own bowels. The woman died last night • the officer this morning at half-past nine o'clock. I ;lave not time to say more. From one of your subscribers. Colne, Nov. 15, 1841. [We have received the name and address of the writer.] INVITATIONS OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH TO MR. AND MRS. STANDISH. On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Standish were invited to dine with the Royal family at the Palace of St. Cloud. After the repast the King conducted them into the Gallery of Diana, where his Majesty conde scended to show them himself the rich presents that he designs for them. These presents filled, not only this gall-ry, but also the apartment which leads to the chapel. In this room were placed the pic tures given by Louis Philippe to the Standish family. Some of these pictures are very fine copies of those which ornamented Duxbury Park, the others are ori ginals. In the Diana Gallery was displayed upon a vast table a magnificent service of porcelain of the Royal manufactory at Sevres. This service is com posed of a hundred different pieces, doubly precious by the beauty of their form and the richness of the paint ing. Upon the uses and plates to the number of eighty, are represented views of the finest landscapes and monu ments of Italy and the Royal Castles of France. Upon another table was placed a boudoir breakfast set, of the same manufacture, and of the newest and most delicate style, the porcelain of which is of so fine and transparent a quality that it is called the muslin china. Upon a third table was a col lection of portraits of every member of the Royal family. These portraits are in china, and elegantly framed. In another part of the gallery were displayed three hundred volumes in folio, chosen amongst the best publications that the French Government, the King Louis Philippe, the Enireror Napoleon, Louis XVIII., and Charles X. have caused to be pub lished at different periods. These volumes are for the most part from the press of the Royal printing office, and many amongst them are adorned by mag nificent engravings. Amongst the number the ex tensive work upon Egypt, ordered by Napoleon. The description and reproduction of all the pictures, statues, works of art of the Palace and the Museum of V.:rsddlcs, commanded by the King Louis Philippe, and the valuable work upon the monuments of ancient France, by the Baron Taylor ; lastly, at the bottom of this splendid gallery of Diana, was a superb portrait of the King, painted in a superior style by Winteratter. At the King's dinner table were her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Hignesses the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, the Duchess of Nemours, the Princess Adelaide, the Princess Clementine, the Marchioness du Rourre, the Marchioness de Vince, Baron de Finquer lin, the B iron Taylor, Count Dumas, the Duke d'Es tisac, General Count d'Houdetot. On the following Wednesday the King and the Queen were most graciously pleased to invite Mr. and Mrs. Standish to dine at the Palace at Versailles. There were sixty persons at the Royal dinner table, consisting of the raernbers of the Royal Family then at St. Cloud, Marshal Soult, the Court and Countess de Montalivet, all the Ge neral Officers will were at Versailles, the Ambassador of the United States of America, Count Aube; nen, Peer of France ; Baron Taylor, Baron Humboldt, General Count d'Houdedot, General Count de Rumigny, M. de Cailleux, Director of the Royal Museums. After the sumptuous dinner the King showed his noble guests all the galleries of pictures and statues, which compose the Versailles Museum. This promenade was terminated by a visit to the theatre, which was illuminated by a number of lustres containing thousands of lights, the effect was most strikingly beautiful, giving the appear ance of a theatrical representation. The Royal. Family arrived at two o'clock at the Palace of Versalles, and did not take their departure before eleven. AMERICAN NEWS LATEST ARRIVAL FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. The arrival of the Columbia, Captain Judkins, this morning, put us in possession of New York papers to the 30th ult., Boston to the Ist, and Halifax to the 4th inclusive. Very strong head winds prevailed during the greater part of her passage. She, however, fully sustained the re putation previously achieved by this line of steamers,.having terminated a very speedy trip in ten days and a half from the last-mentioned port. Forty-five passengers were brought to England by the Columbia, all of whom united in praising the vessel's. seaworthiness, and Capt. Judkins' gentlemanly conduct throughout the voyage. The papers received by this boat are nearly destitute of interest. Nothing had, transpired to agitate the political world; on the contrary, a still better feeling would most probably be pro duced. By a letter from the acting Governor of Canada, Sir R. Jackson, to the Governor of Vermont, informing the latter that a rigid in quiry had been instituted into the recent outrage committed on Major Grogan, and should it appear that any officers or men connected with the British service were implicated in the tran saction, he promised that they should be dealt with in a summary manner. M‘Leod, at a public dinner given to him by the citizens of Montreal, had denied being present at the attack on the Caroline. He also averred most positively that be never once boasted of having been there. Lord Morpeth had visited Boston and New York, and been' hospitably entertained; he had : taken his departure for the Falls of Niagara and Canada; he hael visited the theatre in company with Mr. J. Q. Adams, Judge Story, Professor Ticknor, and others, to witness Fanny Elssler's dancing, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 2d of September had been received, reporting the in surrection to have progressed vigorously under Gen. Bustamento. The students of the military Academy had declared for General Valencia, who was awaiting the arrival of Gen. Santa Anna. The Stock Market, with one or two excep tions, exhibited a considerable degree of langour. States' Stock had fallen off, in anticipation that several States would be unable to meet the pay ment of the January interest. The non-resump tion at the West and South had also an unfavour able effect upon business. A rather better business than usual was done in bills for England immediately previous to the mail leaving for the Columbia. The current rates on England were 109 i to 1101 ; on Paris, iif. 20c. to sf. 18ic. There were many opinions regarding the new Cotton crop, but the best informed parties esti mate it at about 1,900,000 bales. The Cotton trade was steady, and no material change was perceptible in Corn. The Royal mail steamer Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult., was enter ing Halifax as the Columbia came out. DANIEL WEBSTER MAKING CHOWDER. The Ingham Patriot of last week says :—At Marsh field, close by the shores, and a long distance from any human habitation, stands a rude shanty, provided with cooking utensils and spine rough sleeping apparatus, for the accommodation of the fishers and fowlers who resort thither at this season for game. There, before the door of that hut, might have been seen a few days ago, about the hour of sunset, a stout- looking, dark- visaged, hard featured man, with a shaggy roundabout upon his back, and a coarse tarpaulin, that looked rather the worse for wear, upon his head, squatted upon a stene, and with a fist full of sand scouring out an old chowder pot, which the last users had been so careless as to leave a little less cleanly than it should have been. Shortly after, the same hand was to be seen sprinkling pepper and salt upon the fruits of that day's expedition, as they sim leered in the pot over the aforesaid crackling fire. He was evidently the prominent man of the party; and after the savoury viands had been despatched at the clothless hoard, with - the keen appetite and smacking relish that hunters only can appreciate, his were the apt fingers that wiped the platters fastest ; and as they sat around the comfortable blaze ortbe snapping brushwood, from his 'prolific lips floWed tbVeountlest ; stories at which they stared hardest and, : laughed:. loudeSt. Not about M‘Leods, and tat iffs 4 ' d banks; and such matters of State, which in tr4se ipies of political excitement men are most apt to talc - Vut; di .our story-tellcr prattle ; his anecdotes were aielitterqe4rnomentotei, perhaps, but infinitely more entertaiOg 'f - eiflf`4 hard•:fisted, fun-loving fishermen and farnieiS;v4t, weref.lis companions. And when " Nature's' swiet . Yeitvrer?! called them to their bunks, be was the filOrliot - the 'loudest, to snore ; and. at daylight he was tiOifOltqiii6St to make ready the morn ing repast, by scraping in the sand, outside the hut, the knives that the eVening fast had tarnished. His name was Daniel Webster ; his station, Secretary of State of the U. S. of America ; his home, wherever he chanced to be, in a fisherman's hut or a King's pahice, among his cattle or at the Capitol.—New York Paper. MINISTER TO PORTUGAL. General Washington Barrow, appointed to represent this Government at the Court of Portugal, arrived in this city with his family, on Monday afternoon, and took lodgings at the Astor Ileum He intehas to em bark for Europe in the . Sibamer which sails for Boston, on the first of November. General Barrow is one of the best foreign appointments made under the present ad ministration. There have been several shocking ones, but President Tyler is not to blame. They were among the legacies left by General Harrison, and they are novr all paid off. Todd to Russia, and Debar to ISardinitt, were bad as possible. But the bequests of General Harrison are now all settled, and Mr. Tyler new ceases to be administrator on the estate. We may, therefore, expect judicious selections hereafter. General Barrow is well qualified for the station in every particular. He is a man of prepossessing and gentlemanly address; of well cultivated mind, and of much ekperiente in pOiltidal affairs. He was formerly a prominent member of the Termesset Legislature, and distinguished himself in the palmy days of Jacksonism for his resolute resistance to some of the ultra doctrines of the old chief.—Nrio rtht Paper.

Castle Court, Budge Row, London, Oct. 23, 1841 The Trustees of the United Shareholders having given the report of Robert Barnett, Esq., Gideon Colqu houn, Esq., Thomas Gibbes, Esq., John Middleton, Esqs, William Morrice, Esq., Moses Ricardo, Esq., Benjamin Harding, Esq., lately circulated among the proprietors, their attentive consideration, are of opinion that it may be supposed that they approve. of the con tents of that document, if they remain silent, and in order to avoid such a misconception, they deem it their duty to review it. The Proprietors will remember, that the nomination of this Committee was effected in a manner which re flected no credit upon the Directors and their partisans, and inflicted an act of injustice upon the United Share holders, from whom the proposition to appoint the Com mittee emanated. The Directors having no alternative left but to consent to the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry, or to fall under the charges which had been brought against them, after giving six months' opposition to an inquiry which men possessing reputation and integrity ought not to have opposed for six hours, consented to the appoint 7 ment of a Committee, which, however, they took care to nominate themselves; and the seven Proprietors elected for this purpose were their avowed and constant sup porters, and known to be so linked with them by self interest, that a condemnation of the Directors amounted to a sentence upon themselves:—the appointment was discreditable—the acceptance anything but judicious. The Proprietors could expect little from such a Com mittee; and the Report in no way. disappoints their autAchati - 0., dtiti4 of the Ociiiimittee were declared by the fol loikifig That the Report be laid before the Committee to be apppinited by this Resolution , that the under-men iiimed-PrOprictors be appointed a Committee for con giob:lng'the past proceedings of the Directors in the nauttagement of the affairs qt the Company ; and also the best mode to be taken, either for closing the concerns of the Company or otherwise, and to report their opinion thereon, together with such observations as they may have to offer upon the accounts submitted by the Di rectors, at a subsequent General Meeting, to be espe cially convened for receiving the same ; and that in the Meantime a circular letter be addressed to: every Pro- prietor, with a copy of this resolution, urging the - neces , say of prompt payment of the calls necessary for dis charging the liabilities in court of payment." The Trustees of the United Shareholders having weighed well the instructions contained in this resolu tion, have no hesitation in decla`ring that the seven gentlemen have not fulfilled their duties ; in fact, the document which they have issued is evidence of their having examined nothing more than the half-yearly Report, May 20th, 1841, instead of commencing their investigation from the month of April, 1825; but to make up for this neglect, , these seven gentlemen declare, in the same Report, that, all the losses are to be attri buted to the errors of management made by the first Directors in the origin of the Company, the very period which they admit they have not investigated, and, put down this loss to the purchase of the Corngreaves Estate which they state amounts to 850,0001. This Committee make this declaration, with the Report of the Directors in May, 1841, before them, by which it appears that the total cost, including law expences, is 971,0001., and the present value 586,2791., besides a profit of 195,7861. The object of this part of the Report is to shield Sir George Larpent and Mr. Horsley Palmer, and give the appear ance of truth to the oft repeated assertion of these two Dire ctors—that all the losses of the Company arose from the mal-administration of the Directors before they entered the direction. Whilst the fact is, that the losses of the British Iron Company are to be attributed to the management of these identical gentlemen, Sir George Larpent and Mr. Horsley Palmer, who have been con nected with the direction from its first establishment. The aspersions which this Committee say " have been thrown on the Directors," are the charges which have been brought against them—before the assembled pro prietory—in the face of the world—and under the eye of the press. These charges have been supported and substantiated by the evidence adduced from the report and balance sheet issued by the Directors themselves in May. last — they have never been met, much less refuted ; and Sir George Larpent and Mr. Horsley Palmer must even yet answer to these charges or abide by the consequences ! The Committee have not in their Report informed the Proprietors,—what is the amount of profit or loss which has resulted to the Company in consequence of the deal ings with the firm of Mr. Horsley Palmer during the last sixteen years ; neither have they said whether they approve of the service of plate which Mr. Palmer's col leagues presented to him at the cost of the Company ; or whether they consider the annuity adequate which was granted to Mr. Simson, the late Managing Director, to indUce him to retire, in order that Sir George Lar pent might provide for his brother-in-law, Mr. Wilson, and-his two friends Messrs. Barclay and Ravenshaw, by appointing them to be Managing Directors at 2,0001. per annum, in lieu of 5001. per annum paid to Mr. Simson. lor have they informed the Proprietors whether the holders of the 1,161 shares forfeited were solvent ? What are the numbers of the said shares ? and it any of the said shares have by mistake ever been sold ? The Committee have not recommended that the •.lavv bills of the solicitors, amounting to 185,5991., . sliall be , 1 taxed; they have, however, recommended that. the Com , piny shall be dissolved, in which recommendation the Trustees of the United Shareholders most heartily join; provided the Committee to carry out the dissolution are 'Well selected, and shall fairly represent the getieial body iof the Shareholders. * ThiS Committee of seven has had but one object throughout their labours as their Report proves, and that was—to place the Directors before the Proprietors in the most favourable light—to gloss over all their mistmarigemcnt--to make them appear honourable, just, and vise ; and as the picture would not be perfect without shade as well as light, they venture to asperse the motives of the United Shareholders, by attempting to prove that the illegal calls made upon the 501. shares are just and not fraudulent—that the Directors are ill-treated and injured men, and have not wasted, squandered, or lost one million seven hundred and seventy-three thousand, three hundred and twenty-seven pounds of capital and interest, as is proved by their own • accounts, contained in the Report of May, 1841 ! ! ! They next attempt a justification of all the injudicious and illegal acts of the Directors during the past sixteen years, by reminding the Shareholders that all which the Directors have done has been sanctioned by the Pro prietors at general or special meetings ! No doubt the chosen seven imagined that this statement would clear the directors of all blame. But when the Shareholders are informed that this sanction, given to the illegal acts of the Directors, was obtained by deception; namely, by the Reports produced to the General and Special Gene ral Meetings, from time to time by these Directors, the contents of which are now proved to have been fallacious in every respect (vide Report of 4th May, 1838, in which the one-half only of the opinion given by five leading Counsel is inserted, to satisfy the Proprietors that the Company is under no liability to Mr. Attwood, beyond that of returning him the Corngreaves Estate for 325,0001.; and then in the month of May, 1841, the other half of the same opinion is inserted in the Directors' Report, to prove to the Proprietors, that the Company can never get rid of the payment of the interest upon the amount owing to Mr. Attwood, and therefore they have not returned the estate, but paid Mr.t Attwood 350,000/. !) —a deception which has not only produced ruin, but whichit is now attempted to adduce as a ju s t ification to throw the blame upon the deceived instead of the de ceivers. The Trustees of the United Shareholders having now refuted the statements contained in the Report of the Committee, have only one duty more to fulfil, and that is earnestly to request every Shareholder to refrain from pitying any further calls, and to attend the General Meeting of die Proprietors to be held in November next, and vote for the immediate dissolution of the Company and thus put an end to their losses and liabilities, and avoid the only alternative left to the United Share holders, —namely, an appeal to the Court of Chancery.
