Vulture, in Coral:ill, of the principal holders of Goldsmid's Portuguese Loan, to receive a proposition from the Brazilian Government for a settlement of their engagements to the holders of the stock in ques tion, which, however, was negatived after some dis cussion. The proposals made were to give Brazil stock of Samuel and Philips' loan in exchange, at about 85, the price of Brazil stock at the time this loan was issued. The price of Samuel and Philips' loan here is now about 55, which at first looks very objectionable; but it is to be considered that stock is to be given both for principal and arrears of interest, so that if the offer had been accepted the holders would have received a stock paying 5 per cent. on their principal and arrears in place of their previous bonds, which now bear the price of 52 or 53, and only pay 2:1 per cent. on the principal alone. The ar rangement would have been to this effect, that the holders would have exchanged a stock worth now about 53, and paying 2i per cent., for stock to cover principal and arrears, worth about the same value in the market, and paying a dividend of 5 per cent. POST.—The Government broker effected a further purchase of 10,0001. on account of the East India An nuity Fund dividends. The investment was made in Three per Cent. Reduced Stock at the price of 924.. It is assumed, as pretty certain, that this is the last of the prese n t ser i es o f operations for the same account.

One-fifth of the , ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three-fourths to the former, and one .fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitle(' to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The fallowing table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society:- . _ Saloon, 3i.

A sum far more than equal to the value"of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape.. eific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of thepremiura for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits 1:1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . .... ........... ... 2 14 3 50 Far short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means he realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of N. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub jee' only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy-,-sueli, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way ho may think proper.

The following lines were written by his Lordship, and intended as an inscription for the pedestal of the statue of the Duke of Wellington, about to be erected by the citizens of London : " Conservata this Asia, atque Europa triumphis, invictum hello to coluere ducem. Nunc umbrata, geris, civili tempera quercu ut desit famw gloria nulls tune."

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We insert some observations of a Morning Contemporary on what must now, it would appear, be called the Webster Tariff, in connexion with what is already famous as the Nnveewfoottii forbear s a t r ri c tn t u p r u es bl o i s n h t he thoselatter of tr a a n e s n a r c r t e i s o p u n Ashburton T rea ty. . We shall not at present re ;n dent who signs himselfVindex ; because we are deter mined not to inflame hostile sentiments towards America on the shallow pretext that America en tertains hostile sentiments to us. If such were the case, it would still be ourduty, asorgaus ofopinion in an older community, less excitable on foreign questions, and less directly governed by popular .impulses, to moderate rather than to inflame angry feelings between countries, whose highest pride and truest prosperity must be founded on not forgetting their relationship. Each has (or is capable, at least, of producing) what the other wants to complete those means of material well being which the first fertility of virgin, soils, and the last finish of skilled workmanship, are capable - of contributing. Each has hitherto chosen to cut off a l a r ge sec tion of their means of interchange —a course of folly in which it is unquestionable that we took the first start, and it appears froth the new tariff, and from Mr. Webster's - late speech at 1u.. - quo, a powerful American party is openly espousing (just as we are relaxing) restriction. We will not yield to the temptation of putting a party colour on this coincidence. We will not comfort • ourselves by charging on diplomatic incapacity these commercial menaces. We have long set a very bad example ; in consequence of it, we have not enli s t e d th at vast agricul tural constituency in our favour throughout North 'America, whO are the true and ultimate arbiters of war or peace—extended or con tracted commerce. Neither dip!omacy, nor red hot shot have charms or terrors for this scattered constituency : they have little sympathy with their own commercial interest, and little fear of h os tiliti es with England. But, like all other men, they have interests through which their inclina tions may be worked upon ; those interests are strictly, and demonstrably, coincident with our own; they are the interests of a new country in the exchange of raw produce for goods ; as ours are the interests of an old coun try in the exchange of goods for raw produce. On this simple basis what a firm edifice might have been reared ! what reciprocal advan tages might have assured steady peace and com merce ! Instead of this, what have we now to deal with? A race of cultivators who care little about us. A mercantile body who, havinr , long pushed their dealings with us beyond the'fblin dation we allowed to exist for equitable inter change of respective products, are now deeply and hopelessly in our debt, and political bodies, representing a. hostile or indifferent popular feeling, and cutting the Gordian knot of finan cial embarrassment by I s_mp_y stopping payment. STANDARD.---The official dispatch of Lieu tenant-General Sir Hugh Gough, published in yesterday's Standard, is calculated to excite a painful feeling in the minds of even those who most cordially rejoice in the success of the British arms on that occasion, as adding another to the many melanchcly proofs which have been af forded us of the weight of the responsibilities which the late Ministry have bequeathed to their successors in office. Notwithstanding the presence of a powerful expedition, commanded by gallant and experienced officers, and eniployed with a degree of success which could hardly have been anticipated, we find ourseles, in the third year of the Chi nese war, an d a fter the expendi ture of nearly th ree m illi ons ster ling, and a great sacrifice of life, hardly nearer the goal than we appeared to be when we took possession of Chusan. Place after place has been taken and abandoned, and thousands of the Chinese have from time- to time been slain, without making, any sensible impression . upon them, and without a present prospect of forcing terms from - the pig-headed barbarian who rules over them. Fort after fort is takeii; dismounted, and abandoned, and almost as speedily structed and re-occupied, the force at our dis•s posal not being sufficient to admit of our retain s trig conquests which it has cost so much time, trouble, and expense (not to mention more im portant sacrifices) to achieve. Chapoo has fallen into our hands, and is at this moment occupied as the head-quarters of Sir Hugh Gough's troops; but to achieve this onward movement it has been necessary to -abandon Ningpo• Thus each of these progresses costs us more than it turns out to be worth, and should the war continue much longer, we shall incur the risk of being ruined by our successes. It is true, we have the assurance of Sir Hugh Gough, that the orderly and flirbearing conduct of the British soldiers under his command has excited feelings of gratitude and respect among the Chi nese which they have not been slow to acknow ledge; and that they are beginning to under stand that,• whilst - the most vigorous opposition will be made to the Governme n t, and to all hos tile displays of military f orce, the population of every class will be protected as much as possible. They cannot, however, have forgotten the recent slaughter of their troops, and their feelings of mood-will can therefore hardly be expected to continue unimpaired, when the apprehension ex cited by the presence of British troops has been removed. MONEY MARKET and ci r TY NEWS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPER S TIMES.—The market fo r E nglish secur i t i es re mains unchanged. The bargains entered into were few, but the aspect of quotations continues as firm as itdatrienthperesented as busy an appear ance as formerly, when the old hours of attendance were in full force. The Committee appointed at the late public meeting sit at the London Tavern, to frame regulations to carry out the plan : and it is believed that when the public sales in Mincing-lane and the vicinity are conducted at an earlier hour, a corre spondence will be opened with the Gresham Com mittee, who will probably give their consent to the plan. The subject of an alteration in the sales of pro duce, the commencement of them at about 11, or half past 11 o'clock a.:n., instead of between one and two o'clock p.m., the hours at which, according to present regulations, the great bulk of goods are disposed of, is understood to receive the supp or t of the chief houses, and it only requires the example to be set to make it general. If this is accomplished, there can be but little doubt of the result. The Penguin packet has arrived With dates from Rio Janeiro to the 15th of August, .Monte Video to the 29th of July, and Buenos Ayres to the 13th of July. It appears that none of the Brazilian Mining Companies, although this packet is stated to have brought 30,0001. in gold on freight, have received any intelligence, the communication with the interior being stopped. The gold the produce of the mines of several of these Companies, which should have been received by this arrival, will therefbre have to be sent down under joint escort to wait the next packet. The. political news from the Brazils is not of interest. The I\ Loney Market was suffering much from the over issue of paper by the Government, and the exchange, which had been down to 24k, had, howev er , since re covered to 251 to i. The depressed condition of busi- ness was unfavourable to a revival of confidence, and hence there was a good deal of uncertainty prevailing as to whether the exchange would maintain the point now quoted. The estimate of the new crop of coffee was on the side of an advance in price. Local Stock was quoted 69 to 70. The Monte Video papers announce a variety of facts connected with the di s pute at present pending between the Uruguay and Argentine Republics, but none of which are of sufficient importance to de monstrate the progress of hostilities between the two Governments, and only serve to illustrate the partial manner in which the press is conducted in those coun tries. Rivera was in the capital, and this wa s pre sumed to be indicative of the little fear entertained respecting the assault which, in the shape of an in vasion, bad been threatened by the force of Rosas. The presence of his Excellency at the seat of Govern ment was considered to be a sufficient guarantee for the permanent welfare of the nation. The Corri entes, according to the accounts in these papers, have taken up arMs against the Buenos Ayreans, to arrest the aggressions Roses seems inclined to make upon that province. Some allusion is made to a mediation by' the English and French repre sentatives between the belligerents, b u t it does not appear that they are inclined for a settlement without a decided conquest is declared either on one side or the other. Trade at Buenos Ayres and Alonte V* o was no t , as Foga as 1344511 manufactures, in a thriving condition, and the latest rep o rts w e r e , th a t though extensive sales had been made, they were all at lower prices. Under the head of "Exports" we find allusion made to th; increasing business of Monte Video in hides and horns, and, with the assistance of the new treaties concluded with England, Spain, and. Sardinia, it bids fair in this respect to become a for midable rival with the Buenos Ayres market. The severance of friendly intercourse with Buenos Ayres by the Chilian Government is also alluded to, but only in the same indefinite • terms stated on the hest arrival. It is furthernsserted, that La Madrid, with other leaders, had already stirred up a revolt in the provinces, and that Tucuman, Salta; Jujui, and La Rioja, were subversed. The Buenos Ayres papers give the circulation of Treasury bills on the Ist of July at 4,385,600 dollars, and the number of vessels in port at the latest date as 52. The exchange on London was 3 1-16 d. per paper dollar. One of the papers from Monte Video contains an article, the design of which is to prove that it is the interest of Europe in general, and of this country in particular, to oppose the tyranny of Roses. The " brutal system" of Roses has, it is said, caused a loss to British commerce, which may be easily ascertained by comparing its increase under the republic of Uru guay, with its decline under the Argentine republic, as governed by Rosas. Before he had attained the Dictatorship, there was . double the number of British establishments, and double the number of British vessels navigated the River Plate. But the loss sus tained by England is not merely indirect, and the writer of the article computes 14,3.50,000 dollars as direct loss. Among the items which compose this sum, are 9,800,003 dollars for debts and arrears ; 1,250,000 dollars for the mines of Uspallata and Rioja; and 1,000,000 dollars for losses sustained in consequence of the prohibitory duties imposed by Roses on British manufactures. But the worst act of Roses, in a financial point of view, is his seizure of the lands pledged for the security of the public debt. He is stigmatised as the first who has ventured to commit this breach of public faith. It has been stated to-day in the City, on authority which leaves no doubt of the fact, that Mr. Dowding and Mr, Fenning, Surveyors-General of the Customs, have been suspended ; also that the Treasury have now taken the investigation into their own hands. Some inquiry is made by different correspondents as to the present position of a loan entered into some time back by Mr. Jaudon, agent for the United States Bank, with the house of Denison and Co., when a deposit was made, as collateral security, of Certificates of Pennsylvania 5 per Cents., Michigan 6 per Cents., and Mississippi 5 per Cent. Bonds. These securities were retained by the contractors, who issued debentures for the amount of the loan, (400,0001.) bearing 6 per cent. interest, which de bentures were to be paid off in April, 1842. The ruin of the United Sates Bank followed very shortly after the conclusion of this contract, and some of the States, whose . bonds were app en d e d as security for the final payment, having at the same time adopted the " repudiation " system, the value of them fell rapidly,. so that it became necessary to ask for an additional deposit, which was given. At that time, according to the market rate, the securi ties in the hands of the contractors were considered worth $2,450,000, or about 500,0001.,—sufficient to cover the whole loan and the interest upon it. But the state of Pennsylvania having since "repudiated," or rather declared her inability to pay, Michigan being bankrupt, and it being uncertain whet* the Mississippi bonds so deposited stand within theerayge of Governor M'Natt's inderdict, the value of the selsole: deposit has become very uncertain, though it mas 7 b§ safely affirmed that it falls very short of the sum bor-- rowed. So far from the debentures being paid.offia April last, when at maturity, a correspondent 404: that on applying for his half-year's dividend, whitdic was 301., he received only 191. 15s. Bd., which he wet, told was the produce of the interest upon the Penn sylvania stock only. The question is, of course, to what quarter the holders of the debentures are to look in future for the payment of the interest and of the principal. A suggestion is made that Messrs. Denison and Co. should sell or divide, at the value or the day, according to the amount for which the debenture was granted, a propor tion of each stock which they hold as se curity, among the holders of the debentures, and further give to them a certificate that they would use their best exertions to recover the deficiency in value from the parties by whom the securities were deposited. A sale of these stocks to any extent is now out of the question, and the prospect a very doubtful one of recovering any assets from the wreck of the United States Bank, so that a division of the securities among the holders of the debentures seems to be the only course open for consideration, and that to be taken as a final winding up of the affair. As it is understood that Messrs. Denison and Co. have exe cuted a trust deed, declaring that they hold these securities, which are particularly enumerated in a schedule to the deed, for the benefit of the parties in terested, it may be safely' assumed that a house of such high character is prepared to fulfil that trust in any manner that they may be called upon to do, pro vided all the parties agree upon the course to be taken. This is one difficulty; and another obviously is how to settle the value of an article for which there is lite rally no market, and which is not to be got over, unless the parties, which is hardly likely, would agree to take them indiscriminately at their nominal value. They might in that mode finally close the affair, and even retain their original debentures for what they were worth ; but Messrs. Denison will naturally re quire to be satisfied that they all agree to accept such stock as an acquittance of the claim, so far as they are concerned ; for many holders might prefer leaving the securities in their hands and under their manage ment, until an opportunity was afibrded of realizing them for the general advantage. It were greatly to be desired, a 3 is remarked by this correspondent, that houses engaged in loan con tracts for foreign States and Governments would take a more prominent part than they usually do in protecting the rights of the creditors, under any bl-each of faith that may be committed. The con tractors, almost uniformly, d er i ve grea t a d van t ages from all transactions of the kind ; they are very fre quently the only persons who do so; and yet in a time of danger, when a struggle is to be made for the creditors, they usually keep entirely aloof, instead of occupying a prominent place, which their character and standing as capitalists would enable them, with great benefit, to do. If this was felt more than it is to be a moral and honourable obligation among them, contracts would not be so inconsiderately entered into as they very often have been, and, when broken, the sufferers would enjoy much better protection. As the payment of dividends gives them a sort of clue to the names and residences of the holders of such secu rities, contractors of loans possess the knowledge which is essential towards making a combined and energetic effort. We should, in that case, occasion ally hear of meetings of the parties principally con cerned (for the smaller creditors might properly be left out) at the counting-houses of the contractors, and we might expect—what ought to satisfy every body—as much care and diligence to be used as if the whole debt were due to the contractor alone. CHRONICLE.—As the Committee appointed to carry into effect the resolutions of the late public meeting for the earlier hours of 'Change will assemble to-morrow (this day), we hope they will not overlook the complaints, which are very numerous, regarding the delay in returning bills left for acceptance. Mr. Bates allowed that the delay in issuing foreign bills, which often detain merchants until nine P.M., was a grievance which called for amendment, and we are sure that if any improvement can be made in regard to the accepting of bills of exchange, it will not be opposed by the leading firms. The practice at present is not to deliver bills left for acceptance until twelve o'clock on the day after. Now, it is true that full time must be allowed for inquiry in such cases, but we do not think it unreasonable to expect that bills left for acceptance should be delivered by ten A.M. of the following day. This would still allow nearly an entire day for consideration, and would remove the complaints now made regarding the delay experienced in this important branch of mercantile business. In the Produce markets, the motion made by Mr. Cook yesterday, of the firm of Trueman and Cook, was also well entitled to support, as it will bring about the saving of an entire hour in Mincing-lane. The practice at present is for the buyers of East and West India sugars, &c., to inspect the samples on the day of sale, which go on in rotation as the same may be arranged in the list. The result is that.there is no sufficient time for the buyers to inspect the sales, which begin at one p.m., and that there is a regular scramble afterwards to get through the business of the day. Mr. Cook proposed that the samples shoal be seen and examined by the buyers on the day preceding the sales, and that - the latter should begin at twelve o'clock in place of one o'clock, thus giving ample time for inspection, saving a complete hour to the trade, and enabling them to conclude their labours in perfect time to attend 'Change. A meeting was held to.dAy t 14 the George and Brighton Railway Shares are looking up, the return made of the traffic for the week being again favour able. The receipts have been 4,6471., namely, for 12,617 passengers 4,1621., and for goods 485/. Other descriptions remain at about the same quotations. Corrientes papers to the 19th of June had been re ceived at Buenos Ayres, in which it is stated that a decree had just been published by the Government of that province, calling upon all the male inhabitants between the ages of fourteen and fifty years to take up arms in defence of the country against the aggres sions of Buenos Ayres. It was also said that Rioja, Tucuman, Salta, and Jujui, had joined the cause of liberty. The Monte Videans speak in terms of great satis faction of the conclusion of the treaty of commerce and amity between the Republic and Great Britain, regarding it as an earnest of the good feeling enter tertained towards them by the latter Power. The conduct of France, in getting the State into difficul ties with its ruthless neighbour, and then abandoning her to her own resources, is commented upon in a less amicable spirit. The reports of a frowning state of affairs having sprung up between Buenos Ayres and Chili are revived. There were in the pert of Monte Video 124 vessels of all nations, whereas at Buenos Ayres there were but 52. This is a feature that does not escape no tice here as one of importance, in a commercial point of view. , Of English ships there were 25 at Monte Video, and at Buenos Ayres only 12. The Exchange at Buenos Ayres was 3 1-16, and at Monte Video, 42. THE LATE JOHN BIBBY, ESQ., OF LIVERPOOL. It will be remembered that this gentleman, who was an e,minent merchant, and a Director of the Royal „Bank of Liverpool, was found drowned in the month 'cit . July, 1840, in a pond of water, in a secluded field, about four miles from Liverpool and about two from his own residence, which was at Bootle. As it was c`rtain that he had been robbed, and too much reason tp believe that he had afterwards been murdered, scverk:aien were apprehended on suspicion; but, after every inquiry had been made, the - County Ma gistrates; before whom they were examined, discharged them for want of evidence. Within the last week, however, information has been received which shows that the unfortunate gen tleman was robbed, though it is only by inference and supposition that it is believed he was afterwards mur dered, by a gang of villains. The information, de rived from the confession of the convicts, is to the fol lowing purport :—Three men of bad character, who have since been convicted and transported, and who appear to have known something about Mr. I3ibbv, having seen him, on the evening o f th e d ay preceding the morning of hat on which he was found drowned, go into the Royal Bank, formed a plan to waylay and rob him as he was returning home. Ile left the bank, where, it having been the July half-yearly meeting, there had been a cold colla tion, in a car, accompanied by another gentleman, who; living at Everton, got, out on the road. Th e car then drove to war d s Mr. Bibby's residence at Bootle. A short distance from his house he got out, intending to walk home, as was his custom. The three men seem by some means to have got to the road about the same time. They seized Mr. Bibby, jostled him, and robbed him of his money and his watch. Among the money were two guineas, which, it ap pears, he had kept as pocket pieces, and which, it has been ascertained, were among the money which the robbers confess to have taken from his pockets. They confess, we believe, to the robbery merely; but there is not the slightest doubt, that, after having robbed the unfortunate gentleman, they carried him off the road into the adjoining field, and ultimately threw him into the secluded pond described already. Mr. Hardinge (eldest son of Sir Henry Hardinge) is so far recovered from the effects of his late dread ful accident as to be able yesterday, with assistance, to leave his bed for a short time. The operation of cutting off the foot, above the ankle-joint, was most successful. ADMIRAL NITGENT.—We regret to state that this gallant officer passed a restless night on Tuesday, but the answer to inquirers at . Charing-cross Hospital yesterday was, that Sir Charles, on the whole, was going on favourably. EXETER, OCT. 15.—The arrangements are com pleted for running the new mail between Falmouth and London, to facilitate the transmission of the West Indian, South American, and Mediterranean mails. This mail will be started to-morrow week for the first time The new mail from London will reach Exeter soon after six in the morning, and will run the dis tance between this place and Falmouth, by the way of Oakhampton, in about nine hours and a half. It will pass through this city on its way'to London late in the evening, so that it will leave Falmouth full half a day after the present mail leaves that place, and ar rive in town at the same time. This will be a mani fest improvement on the old system, because, until very recently, if a foreign mail did not arrive at Fal mouth very early in the morning, it was detained there until the following morning; whereas, by the new arrangements, it will be forwarded towards the middle of the day. A mail from Devonport will leave here as soon as the Falmouth mail arrives, and will reach the former place at about eleven in the forenoon. This mail will leave Devonport at about one in the forenoon, to reach Exeter just before the Falmouth mail passes through here on its way to London. WINDSOR, OCT. 18.—In consequence of the fatal cases of fever which occurred at •'sher a few weeks since, her Majesty has abandoned, for the present, the intention of leaving the Castle for Claremont. The visit of the Court to that delightful retreat of his Majesty the King of the Belgians is, therefore, inde finitely postponed. The circumstance of the preva lence of typhus fever in the immediate neighbour hood of * Claremont, has caused her Majesty to determine upon paying a visit to Brighton before, instead of after, Christmas, as had been previously intended. The period mentioned for the depar ture of her Majesty for the Pavilion is about the Ist or 2d of November. The Court is expected to re main at Brighton for about a month. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal will accompany their illustrious parents to the coast. The Royal dinner party at the Castle this evening (covers being laid for 21) included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte D un _ das, the Countess of Dunmore, the Hon. Clementina Hamilton, the Hon. Georgiana Stanley, the Dowa ger 1 Lady Lyttelton, the Hon. Mrs. Anson, the Ear l Aberdeen, - Lord and Lady Haddo, Lord Byro n, of General the Hon.

GRAND FETE at RAVENSWORI I II CASTLE. (From the Newcastle Chronicle.) Wednesday last being the day appointed for cele brating. the coming of age of Mr. Henry Georati Liddell, eldest son of the Hon. Henry Liddell, and grandson of Lord Ravensworth, one of the most; princely and splendid fetes ever witnessed in this. district, was given at Ravenswerth Castle, in honour of the event. A short time before three o'clock the company began to arrive, and from that time until nearly five, they continued to do so in close succession, and at . that period there could not be less than five hundred assembled beneath the festive roof of Ravensworth Castle. About half-past four o'clock, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who at present is residing at th e C ast l e, was conducted into the gale lery by Lord Ravensworth. Almost immediately after, the Archduke Frederick of Austria and suite arrived, and having been in the most courteous man ner received at the entrance door by Lord Ravens worth, the Hon. H. T. Liddell, &c., he was con ducted to the gallery. the htohlee oefomthpeatniymes,atthdeoewxncetlloendtinannerd, eanffid. dur S i o n o g n lava in u f dent l r o e f n t t , he nn6dls:lallveegim dse e l it vird.werepopular edppullascranodn tiusen livening airs. Towards the conclusion of the repast Lord Ravensworth called for a bumper toast, and: proposed the health of her Majesty, which was drunk with three times three cheers and great applause. That was followed bythe healths of the Queen Dowager, Prinee Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, the Duchess of- eeloucestel, and other mem bers of the Royal Family, were all drunk with hearty cheers; after which the noble host requested the company to fill . another bumper, and called upon the Marquis of Normanby to propose a toast. The Marquis of NORMANBY then rose and spoke as follows have been requested by our noble host to propose to you the next toast. If I readily accede to this request, I am at the same time perfectly aware that no one more strongly feels than Lord Ravens worth, therefore no one could more aplropriately ex press the unexpected grace, the peculiar honour, con ferred on the family festivities by the presence of an illustrious foreigner. But, though his imperial High ness the Archduke Frederipk of Austria is for the first time personally known to us, his name is already familiar to English ears as connected with the gallant profession of which he is a member; and from the situation which I had the honour to hold in the coun cils of my Sovereign at the time his Imperial High ness was engaged in active service in the East, some circumstances connected with his name were strongly impressed upon my mind and that of my colleagues, which, for the cultivation of that spirit of cordiality we all trust may long continue between the countries of England and Austria, I think it desirable should not pass unnoticed at this the first very numerous re union—though private in its character--at which since his arrival in England his Imperial Highness has had occasion to be present. It is to all of us matter of no very distant historical recollection with what in tense anxiety were formerly watched the gallant efforts of the Austrian legions, then engaged as our intimate allies in the deadly struggle which con- Imbed Europe. It is happily not necessary to revert to these dark times further than to say that the long enduring memory of the gallant deeds of the distin guished commander of those legions must be pecu liarly dear to his Imperial Highness. But it remained for the Archduke Frederick, in the bright promise or his opening career, to be the first of his family to. meet their ancient allies on terms of cordial and efficient co operation on that eleinent which English men are accustomed to consider (perhaps somewhat presumptuously) peculiarly their national province. At that time I happened to be in a situation to see the official and confidential reports of the great naval commanders then employed there in our 'service, and with whom his Imperial Highness acted ; and I en tertain a lively recollection of the testimony borne by them to the professional skill, the chivalroas zeal, tempered with a high sense of discipline, shown by his Imperial Highness. One trait of his Imperial Highness, as connected with these transactions, I can not refrain from communicating to those who may not have heard it, and recalling to the recollection of . • those who may. Our gracious Sovereign, with that generous desire to distinguish merit, which is with her as an innate sense of duty, readily proposed to offer to his Imperial Highness that decoration which is with. us the mark of high and active public service. His Imperial Highness, with ,a grace whi c h f ar excee d ed that of unqualified acceptance, professed his desire only to accept that grade of the order which would be bestowed upon officers of the same standing in our service. Thus showing that in the natural excitement of successful youth, and in spite of the supposed self estimation of exalted rank, modesty is still the never failing accompaniment of real merit. Having thus attempted to do but fair justice to that portion of his Imperial Highness's career which came within my own knowledge, I may be permitted, perhaps, in con nection with the toast which I shall have the honour to propose, to express the great gratification that all connected with this house must feel, that in the course of the tour in which he is so creditably enga ged, to examine our in s tit u ti ons , an d t o s t u d y our social cha racter, his Imperial Highness should have been pre sent upon an occasion like this, so peculiar to our na tional habits. Of those who now stand to this house in the same situation as myself, as I am the earliest connected with it by ties of affection, I would ven ture to assure his Imperial Highness, that as it is almost unequalled in numbers, so May it likewise challenge rivalry in family love and union. He has sees this day those who had become the ornament, and the charm, and the comfort of the homes of their adoption, re-assembled at that of their ' infancy with unaltered feelings and undiminished interest to hail the celebration of the reward of parents' anxious care; in the opening pro mise of one who is to continue in his person the re spect and attachment which the family name has so long commanded and secured. It would, indeed, be en unpardonable omission on my part if I did not call the attention of his Imperial Highness to the kind footing upon which we have been favoured with the presence of an Illustrious daughter of our own Royal line, who, during the whole of her life has, by the practice of every feminine virtue, ensured the universal respect of the country, and by the charm of her man ners has added a grace to every society which she honours with her presence. I will not venture to ex press in her Royal Highness's presence how much the affectionate interest she has ever shown towards this family has added warmth to the feelings of devoted attachment which they all entertain towards her Royal Highness. The observant eye of his Imperial Highness will, I feel confident in anything which may strike his eye as new, not see cause to regret his pre sence' here this day ; and on the part of my father-in law and the family, with a deep and endearing sense of the honour he bias vouchsafed to us, I propose "The health of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frede rick of Auetria."--e(Cheers.) • The toast having been drunk amidst loud and en thusiastic cheering, his Imperial Highness being un able to . speak fluently in English, desired Lord Ravensworth to acknowledge the compliment which had been paid him, and his Lordship did so in happi and appropriate terms. The Noble President next proposed the health of Mr. Henry met t G o e e o e i l eg eb e rde Li , dd tin ed, whose majority they were then d expressed his grati fi cation at his hav i ng honoured by the company of so many noble with b een isti nreai e enthu siasm.
