They can also bear record to the shady persevearLe with which that gentleman has continued to eevote the b•st years of h's life to the put - pose if e4allishing the meri!soi the ,crew. And they know that the national benefit thus con:erred by his labours—which wa , urst so clearly confirmed by the performances of the Rattler in 1845, hen so strikinzly iliustrat d at the naval review of 1853, and which is now so confidently re led on for success in actu,il war—has not hitherto procured f,..r him eliher public acknowleogment or pecuniary reward.

" , ir,—lt is impossible for me to ta•ie upon myself to offer an opinion as to which of the claimants is to be attributed the merit of the first invention of the screw propeller; Cut I believe that tie suc.'ess of " the Archinn des," toilowed, by the trial of "the Rattler," (-wait under Lord Minto's Board), led to the adoption of the screw in H M.'s Navy, and in the merchant service. " It is admitted, I believe, that to Mr. Pettit Smith belongs the credl of the s ss of " the ik rchimedes," conseque , tl3- he is en titled to be coital 'ercd as the introducer of a most valuable improve ment in steam navigation. "He we' employed generally under the steam Depattment of the Admiralty in my tine, and I have every reason t, believe that his services were found to b • valuable. • But the prnfestonal names httached to the attestation you have furni.he I me with, as well its those of the most eminent engin ers, are of for greater va'ue to Alr.

At about half-past two the Emperor and Empress entered the hall, and at this moment it presented a scene of the greatest magnificence imaginable. The scene within the hall previously to the arri val of the august visitors was grand in the extreme. The company, which had begun to arrive in large numbers as early as ten o'clock, had very nearly all assembled, and filling, as they did, the whole of the west end' of the building, and the and south sides, formed of themselves a most brilliant and varied feature, but, when viewed in conjunction with the gorgeous decorations of the Hall, the rich, flowing robes of the aldermen and common council, the embroidered uniforms of the representatives of the different corps diplomatique, constituted a tout ensemble of extraordinary splendour. All this burst at once upon the eye the moment one had passed through the principal entrance into the time honoured edifice with a magic and enchanting effect. The ilhbion of the scene was maintained by the "eloquent music" which was discoursed by the splendid band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and of which the following is a programme : nor 2 2 Messrs (1. and W.

As the names of the company were not, owing to an accidental oversight on the part of the committee, announced at the door a number of distinguished personages passed in unrecognised by a large proportion of those pre sent, but towards half-past twelve o'clock; those arrivals were announced in the usual manner, and amongst those whose titles we overheard were—Lord Paumure, Viscount Har dingo, the Greek Minister, the Sicilian Mi nister, his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, all of whom, in making their appearance, were greeted with loud acclamation. To these succeeded Sir C. Wood (First Lord of the Admiralty), Earl of Clarendon (Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs), who were received in like manner. Besides those we have mentioned there were also in attend ance the American, Sardinian, Swedish, Portu guese, and Brazilian Ministers ; Earl of Harrowby, the Marquis of Salisbury, Viscount Canning, Sir W. Molesworth, and Sir B. Hall. The arrival of the august visitors it was under stood would take place about half-past one o'clock, and, as that hour drew nigh, the excitement of the assembled multitude, which could not have num bered less than 2,000 persons was raised to a painful degree, but it was for the moment relieved by the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at half-past one o'clock precisely. His Royal Highness, who looked remarkably well, and was attired in the uniform of the Coldstream Guards, was enthusiastically cheered as he was conducted to his seat, which he acknowledged by bowing in a most courteous manner. His Royal Highness was immediately followed by the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Palmerston, and Sir George Grey. About this time it was rumoured that the Em peror and Empress were close at hand, and this was succeeded by a hum of anxious expectation. The band had just brought to a conclusion the beautiful overture of " Guillame Tell," when the cessation of its strains was taken up by a merry peal from the old bells, of Bow Church. Presently a loud shout of " Viva l'Empereur" was distinctly over-heard outside, and the Lord Mayor, accom panied by the members of the Committee, the Alder menand Corporation, hurried to the grand entrance to receive their Imperial Majesties with becoming honour and formality. Immediately the band of the 2d Royal Life Guards struck up " Partant pour la Syrie," which was re-echoed by the band within, and to the music of this noble air, and amidst a hearty cheer of welcome from the whole assembled company, the Emperor and Empress, preceded by the Lord Mayor and the usual attendants on such occasions, slowly advanced up the centre of the hall and took up their respective psitions on the dais. His Majesty wore the uniform of a General of Division, and the Empress, who was attired in a rich brocaded silk dress, looked extremely well, and both very gracefully bowed their acknowledgments to the sincere and general shouts of " Vive l'Einpereur" and " Viva l'lmpera,- trice," which resounded on every side. The brilliant suite of the Rlyal personages having taken up theirposition round the dais, the Lord Mayor advanced, and having presented the learned Re corder to their Majesties, the latter, in a distinct and forcible manner, read the address on behalf of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London as follows : "TO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. "iti\ly ay it P n your Majesty,— " We,or, Aldermen, and Commons of de sire to offer to you r Ma j est y our heartfelt congratulations o n the arrival of you r Ma j est y and the Em p ress of the the C of the L L o ol d re o d a on, l‘,elianyCommon Council assembled, French in this country as the guests of our most gracious Queen ; and, on behalf of our fellow-citizens and our selves, we humbly tender to your Majesties the warmest expression of our gratitude for the welcome visit by which ememorable have deigned to ho nour our city on this ion of Europe a nd th e world is already ma u e tdeanyt. fixed on the attitude of dignity and united strength dis played by France and Great Britain in the present war, w m i o ll n draw interestcloser t bondshe happily of unitingm u and the coming of your Maest invited b our beloved com tQ t h uua e: 3l , et T f‘nrl b ioe e anctdo c ssu o hu r nic d tph i r a iaea l ns time,d 'alliance of two such mighty powers, cemented and sealed by intimate and frank intercourse between their rulers, must sway the destinies of all, will abate the pride of our common enemies, increase the confidence of our allies, and give new vigour to our arms. " By the wise policy of your Majesty's reign all our ancient jealousies have been appeased, and th e fl ags of France and England now mingle their colours alike in the Baltic and in the East. Ranged together in a righteous cause, braving like hardships, and shedding their blood side by side in victory, the soldiery of our united armies and the seamen of our combined fleets have learnt to regard each other with the love of brave and generous comrades, second only to the love they bear their respective countries, and, while such are the feelings, we rejoice that sentiments akin to these are growing daily and sinking deeply into the breasts of the people of these great and neighbouring nations. " None can doubt that the allied forces thus animated, led in perfect harmony by commanders of tried skill and valour, and guided by united counsels at home, will achieve by arms the just and unambitious object of the present war ; unless, as we may hope, the efforts of as sembled statesmen shall yet avert the calamities of pr)- tracted warfare by the speedier negotiation of an honour able and enduring peace. " This cordial reception, therefore, of the chosen and puissant Emperor of the French by the illustrious Sove reign who reigns over these realms and lives in the hearts of the British people we regard as a type of a close and lasting friendship between the two nations, and the hap piest augury of a returning time when, undisturbed in the onward course of civilisation, the nations of Europe may again lay aside the sword, and resume their exalted rivalry in the works of beneficence alone. " We are earnestly anxious further to express to your Imperial Majesty the lively pleasure and respectful ad miration with which we have seen you accompanied on this happy occasion by your illustrious Consort her Ma jesty the Empress of the French.

When the pas sage alluding to the Consort of the Emperor was read a loud and prolonged cheer rang through the Hall, and was smiling:y and graciously acknow ledged by 'the illustrious object of the compliment. At the conclusion of the Address the Recorder advanced, with the usuatobeisances, and placed a copy of it in the hands of the Emperor, who, after a short pause, proceeded to read, in a firm and dis tinct voice, though with a slightly foreign accent, the following reply : "My Lord Mavor,—After the cordial reception I have experienced from the Queen, nothing could affect use more deeply than the sentiments towards the Empress and myself to which you, my Ler.l Mayor, have given expression on the port of the city of London ; the city of London represents the available resources which a world-wide commerce affords both for civili-ation and for war. Flattering as are your praises, I accept the n, because they are addressed much more to France than to myself; they are addressed to a nation whose interests are today everywhere identical with your own.—(lours applause)--they are addressed to an army and navy united to yours by an heroic companionship in danger and in glory —(renewed applause)—they are addressed to the policy of the two Governments, which is based on truth, on moderation, and en justice. For myself, I have retained on the throne the earns sentiments of sym pathy and esteem for the people thia professed as an exilelL(tOud and prolonged cheering)—while I en joyed here,the hospitality of your Queen ; and if I have acted in accordance with my convictions, it is that the interest of the nation which has chosen me, no less than that of universal civilisation, has made it a duty. Indeed England and France are naturally united on all the great questions of politics and of human progress that agitate the world. From the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Mediterranean—from the Baltic to the Black Sea —from the desire to abolish slavery, to our hopes for the amelioration of all the countries of Europe—l see 'in the moral as iu the political world for our two nations but one course and one end. (Applause.) It is, then, only by unworthy consi‘lerations and pitiful rivalries that our union could be diesevered. If we follow the dictates of common sense alone, we shall be sure of the future. (Loud applause.) You are right in interpreting my presence among you as a fresh and convincing proof of my energetic co-op ration in the prosecution of the war, if we fail in obtaining an honourable peace. (Ap plause.) Should we so fail, although our difficulties may be great, we may surely count on a successful result ; for not only are our soldiers and sailors of tried valour— not only do our two countries possess within themselves unrivalled resources, but above all—and here lies their superiority—it is because they are in the van of all gene rous and enlightened ideas. The eyes of all who suffer instinctively turn to the West. Thus our two nations are even more powerful from the opinions they represent than by the armies and fleets they have at their com mand. (Great applause.) lam deeply grateful to your Queen for affording me this solemn opportunity of ex pressing to you my own sentiments and those of 'France, of which lam the interpreter. I thank you in my own name and in that of the Empress for the frank and hearty cordiality with which you have rer'eived us. (Ap plause.) We shall take back with us to France the last ing impression made on minds thoroughly able to appre ciate it, of the imposing spectacle which England pre sents, where virtue on the throne directs the destinies of a country under the empire of a liberty without danger to its grandeur." The moment the Emperor concluded his reply a loud cheer was raised by those who were in a posi tion to hear its purport, which was taken up and re-echoed by the occupants of the remoter parts of the Hall, to whom the proceeding had been little more than dumb show. _ The Lord Mayor then presented to the Em peror and Empress Mr. John Wood and Mr. Alderman Wire, the mover and seconder of the Address ; Mr. Deputy Harrison, the Chairman of the Entertainment Committee ; Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Farebrother, Copeland, Wilson, Sir C. Marshal], Humphery, Sir G. Carroll, Sir J. Duke, M.P., Hunter, Sidney, Farucomb, Salo mons, Finnic, Carter, Sir R. W. Carden, and Cubitt ; Alderman and Sheriff Muggeridge, Alder men Kennedy and Rose, Mr. SLeriff Crosley, Messrs. Barnard, Rathbone, Harker, Anderton, and several other members of the Common Council. The Emperor and Empress then descended from the dais into the open space in front, where they remained for some moments in conversation with the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, to whom they expressed their admiration of the decorations of the Hall, and their gratification at the hearty welcome they had received. At this time the Duke of Cambridge quitted the place lie had pre viously occupied, and, advancing to the Emperor, was greeted by him in the most cordial manner. His Royal Highness then paid his respects to her Imperial Majesty, who entered into animated con versation with him for some minutes, the Emperor, meanwhile, being engaged in conversation with Count Walewski. The members of the Entertainment Committee then formed a double line down the avenue, and the Emperor and Empress, preceded by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and followed by the Duke of Cambridge, the Cabinet Ministers, the corps diplomatique, and others of the more distin guished guests, proceeded to the Council-chamber, where a sumptuous dejeuner had been provide]. The Emperor and Empress sat at the head of the table, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress being vis-a-vis. The Duke of Cambridge sat on the right of the Emperor, and that side of the table was al most exclusively occupied by the members of the Cabinet and their ladies. On the left of the Em press sat Count Walewski, the Countess Walewski, the Austrian Ambassador, and the other members of the diplomatic body. In the course of the dejeuner the Lord Mayor gave " Tile Health of the Q eon," which was drunk by the whole company standing. His Lordship af terwards proposed " The Health of the Emperor and Empress of the French," which was received with a similar demonstration of respect. Before leaving the room the Emperor was for some time in conversation with the Marquis of Lansdowne ; and the Empress, when on the point of departure, recognising Lord Clarendon, entered into conversation with his Lordship with great vivacity. • Shortly before 4 o'clock a flourish of trumpets an nounced the departure of the illustrious visitors, and, a procession having again been formed in the same order as at their entrance, except that it was now headed by the band of the Horse Guards (who during the dejeuner had been posted in an adjoin ing room, where they had performed several favourite airs), playing " Partant pour la Syrie," the Emperor and Empress passed through tho Hall to their carriages, amid the most warm and enthu siastic demonstrations of respect and regard. In the corridor, between the Hall and the Coun cil-chamber a number of valuable portraits of the Napoleon family, lent for the occasion by Herr Wetter, were arranged. They included portraits of the Emperor Napoleon 1., Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain ; Jerome, King of Westphalia ; Letitia, mother of the Emperor Napoleon 1., a nd grandmother of the present Emperor, and Hor tense, consort of Louis Bonaparte, King of Hol land, and mother of the Emperor Napoleon 111. In passing through the corridor these family like nesses naturally attracted the notice of the Empe ror, who paused before the portrait of his mother, and, directing the attention of the Empress to it, with much feeling exclaimed, " This is kind, indeed ! " After the departure of the Emperor and Empress the general company partook of a sumptuous enter tainment, which was provided in the Council chamber, the Crypt, and several other apartments in the Guildhall. The following is the bill of fare at the dejeuner provided for the Emperor and Empress : Potages.--Potages de tortue clair-Bisque d'derdvisses.

Last evening the Royal Italian Opera was the scene of a manifestation of unusual, and, as far as the present generation can judge, of unprecedented enthusiasm and magnificence. It had been an nounced that the Queen had commanded the per formances, and that her Majesty would visit the theatre in State, accompanied by the Emperor and Empress of the French. On such an occasion, it was to be expected that the very elite of London society would be present, in order to add one more to the many public greetings offered to our Imperial guests. The director of the Opera, Mr. Gye, had made arrangements worthy the occasion. The salle, always brilliant and magnificent, presented a novel and still more gorgeous aspect. The whole of the theatre has been re-decorated for the occasion ; the solid spaces between the several tiers of boxes were covered with white satin damask; and hung with festoons of flowers. An effect of lightness and ele gaAce pervaded the whole area. ,Of late years, the old. arrangements on the occasion of Royal visits to the Opera had been changed. Formerly, the Sate Box was at the side of the theatre, ad joining the proscenium ; but her Majesty has in troduced the Continental custom—that of placing the royal visitors .in :the „,centre. of the .Loose, facing the stage. The theatre was; is this re spect, arranged 'wit - night as on the occasion of the royal visit in 1848. Four boxes, two on the grand and two on the first tier, were thrown into one grand state box, immediately over the central pit entrance. Thus a space was left large enough to accommodate the royal party and their respective suites. The box was hung with a canopy of cherry coloured satin, embroidered with gold, and sur mounted with an imperial crown. In front were four chairs of state. As the Emperor and Empress had returned somewhat late from the City, and as there was afterwards a grand dinner at Buckingham Palace, the royal party were not expected until towards half-past nine o'clock. .The opening of the doors and the commencement of the performances were delayed, in order to afford the more time. Soon after eight o'clock the theatre began to fill, and by half-past it presented a scene of unsurpassed bril liancy. The stalls were a parterre of beauty and gay colours ; and every box was crowded with oc cupants, formed of the choicest of London society. Shortly after half-past nine, and after the curtain had fallen on the first act of Fidelio, a stir and a buzz of expectation announc.xl the arri val of the royal visitors. A moment after and Queen Victoria was seen entering from the back of the royal box, leading by the arm the Emperor Napo leon, whom she thus, as it were, conducted to the front, and in a manner presented to the audience. Prince Albert escorted the Empress Eugenie. The reception was enthusiastic. The whole audience rose, and the effect was magnificent. As cheer on cheer greeted the imperial guests, they repeatedly acknowledged these marks of honour. While they were still standing, the orchestra performed the air " Partant pour la Syrie," and then the national an them was sung, Mdlle. Bosio singing the principal verses, supported by Formes, Gardoni, and the other chief singers. At the close of the opera, a similar scene of enthusiasm occurred. Then, "God save the Queen " preceded the " Partant pour la Syrie," with an additional, or rather a substituted verse, expressly composed for the occasion. En thusiastic manifestations of loyalty to the Queen and of welcome to the imperial visitors accompanied this display. Such an occasion does not afford much opportu nity for a critical notice of the performance. Fidelio, the opera commanded by her Majesty, has already been produced at the Royal Italian Opera in a manner fully sustaining the high reputation of this great lyrical establishment. The feature of the evening's performance was the first appearance of Aldlle. Jenny Ney as the heroine. This lady comes to us with a high reputation gained in the first lyrical theatres of Germany. Her performance last night sustained it, whether she be regarded as a singer or as an actress. The character, we need scarcely say, taxes the highest powers of a lyrical artiste. Mdlle. Ney is thoroughly German in her style of singing and acting. She possesses consi derable histrionic power, and is an accomplished vocalist. With a full soprano voice of great range, power, richness, and volume, she is folly capable of developing the deep passion with which the music of the part of Leonora is charged. We shall have other opportunities of critically noticing her performance of this character. The scene of last evening is rather to be regarded as a demonstration —as one more phase of the ovation offered to the Emperor and Empress of the French on the part of the people of this country, and in this respect it was fully equal to those other receptions in which ;he people at large have taken the principal part. THE ILLUMINATIONS. The visit of the Emperor of the French to this country Last night elicited from the people of the metropolis a fur- ther desire to do honour to the occasion by an illumina tion of their houses, and many of these displays were conducted on a large scale. The following were amongst ,he most prominent THE CLUB-HOUSES. The Army and Navy, Pall-mall.--This builtling stood _ _ out prominent in the brilliancy of its display and the richness of its design. It consisted of a gas illumination on a large scale, composed of the Imperial crown sur _ mounting a shield, on which was the sword and anchor —the arms of the club. On either side of this was the union jack and tri-colour blended together, and under neath, in large characters, were the words " Victoria— Welcome—Napoleon." The United Service, Pall•mall.—An imperial crown, surmounting the initials N. E., with the Royal initials V.

Floating jets were also placed along the entire parapet of the building. This work was executed by Mr. James Palmer, gas-fitter to the theatre. Adelphi, Strand.—A large imperial crown, wreaths of laurel, and the word " Adelphi," in brilliant gas. THE STRAND.
