Levi Latckman was indicted with stealing twenty six. watches, eighteen silver spoons, and other articles of considerable value, the property of his 'master, Jacob Tobias. The prosecutor not appearing, the prisoner, who had been out on bail, and who had rendered to-day, was acquitted. Mr. t3LARRIF.;ON applied on his behalf for a copy of the indictment, which the Learned Judge declined granting till the close of the day, in order to afford the prosecutor an opportunity of attending and explaining the reason of his non-appearance. Fredericl Shackleford was indicted with unlawfully obtaining, under false pretences, on the 16th of May a large quantity of silk s an d other goods, of the value of nearly 1001., the property of Robert Milburn, with intent to cheat him thereof. Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Price defended th e p r i soner . rom the statement of the Counsel f]r the prose cution, it appeared that the prisoner on the 17th of May last called at the house of the prosecutor, and stated that his name was Robert William Beaumont, that he had just commenced in the drapery business, in Week-street, Maidstone, and that he-was desirous of dealing with the prosecutor; he could give him good references, and would pay for part of the goods down in cash. Upon these representations the pro secutor agreed to serve him with goods, and the pri soner ordered articles to the amount of between 801. and 1001. The goods were sent, according to the .order of the prisoner, to the Swan-with-two-Necks, when 301. Was paid by him on account. On the next day the prisoner ordered goods to the amount of 771., and paid 251. on account. On the 21st he ordered goods to the amount of Si.; on the 23d to the extent of 4/. 13s. ; and on the 31st to the amount of 861.55. 9d. On the Ist of June the prisoner paid 331. on account. On the 14th of July he ordered goods to the amount of 14/. las., and paid 101. Bs. on account, which left a balance of 1741. 16s. 7d., for which he had given a bill of exchange, which had not yet come to maturity. The prosecutor having been apprised that the goods were never sent to Maidstone, but were carried to another public-house, and there distributed among other persons who were in connection with the pri soner, and also having ascertained that the prisoner was not Robert William Beaumont, instituted the present prosecution The case, which appears to occupy the Court till a late hour, was proceeding when our Evening Edition went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—(TINS DAY.) Henry Grzffin was charged with stealing a horse and cart, two hampers a bed and bedding, and two boxes, the property of Mr. Little, of Rotherhithe. The prosecutor stated that he was at the White Horse, in Fore-street, on Saturday. His horse and cart were at the door, and when he came out of the White Horse, he found that horse and cart, were gone. He happened to take the right direction and saw the cart about two streets distant from the White Horse. He thought the horse had strayed, and called out to it, and the horse knowing his voice stopped at once. Witness came up, and then he saw the prisoner driving. The prisoner, when he saw the prosecutor immediately jumped down and ran away. Witness cried out lustily, "stop thief," and after a short but sharp chase he was secured. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this charge, but upon the application of the Inspector of police, he was ordered to be brought up again on Thursday, in order that another charge of a similar description might be gone into against him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (Tills DAY.) John Harrold, Henry Hughes, and John Wilkinson, respectable young men, were placed at the bar on the following charge : Park constable No. 8, stated that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, he saw the defendants within one -of the inclosed plantations in Hyde-park, throwing brickbats and stones up into the chesnut and oak trees, with the view of breaking off the ends of branches having clusters of nuts and acorns on. On taking them into custody he found several pieces of the branche.; in, their possession, and also a large quantity of horse chesnuts and acorns, which to them were per fectly valueless ; the injury, however, to the planta tion was incalculable through many of the trees taking the rot and dying in consequence. The defendants pleaded that they were not aware of the injury they were doing. Mr. HARDWICK said it was preposterous that young men of their age should not know that they were committing acts of wanton mischief. Every means were taken to render the parks as agreeable as possi ble to the public; and they must have been aware that they were doing wrong in entering a plantation and damaging the trees and shrubs growing there. The law in such cases, which, no doubt, the public was unaware of, was most severe; the penalty for the first offence being any sum not exceeding 51. ; for the second; whipping, and not exceeding twelve months' imprisonment ; and for the third, transporta tion. In the present instance, he (the worthy Magis trate) should fine each of the defendants 205., or ten days' imprisonment, and he hoped it would be a cau tion to others. _ _ _ The fine was immediately paid. At the suggestion of Mr. atunwicx, notice will be placed in the Parks stating the severity of the law for damaging or de stroying the shrubberies, plantations, 8:c. CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION. - - - -•. (THIS I)AY.) Mr. APCIIRISTIE, the Revising Barrister, sat at ten o'clock this morning. The Learned BARRISTER proceeded to deliver udg ment in the case of a party of the name of Collinson, who claimed the right to vote 'as a liveryman of the Grocers' Company, but who was objected to on the ground that he had lived abroad fbr the last two years. The family of the claimant, however, resided in the City in the meantime. Mr. Marr, the Conservative agent, contended that there was no such residence in the case as could entitle the party to a place on the register. The matter was argued last week, and judgment reserved till to-day. The R EVISING BARRISTER now held, in a lengthened judgment, that the claim was valid. It appeared from a variety of authorities that a 'party was to be con sidered a bona fide resident who inhabited a house through his family, and .who was thus subject to the public rates. That was the decision of various Judges, and it had always been acted on by Committees of the House of Commons. He was bound to follow those authorities, and retain the name on the list. The lists of the Liverymen were then proceeded with, but no case of general interest arose. THE MARKETS.-( T HIS DAY. ) CORN EXCHANGE.

I am bound to state, and.l do it with sincere pleasure, that. I have, as I before remarked, met with nothing on the part of the authorities of your country but the same earnest feeling of good-will and the same:desire for honourable peace with which I have mysabeen animated; and more especially it is my duty —as it is my pleasure—to offer my humble tribute of admira tion and acknowledgment to that great man—great in every sense of the word he undoubtedly is—your pre sent Secretary of State—a gentleman distinguished, as you all know, by the highest description of talent. My only regret is, that from accidental circumstances, he is prevented attending on the present occasion, wh;ch I regret the more, because if he were present his eloquence would do appropriate honour to the oc casion. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now only to express the high gratification I experience' his even ing, and that I shall ever retain the most grateful re collection of your kindness. It is a common saying cf persons as far advanced in years as myself, that the recollection of the events of the early days of their . ' lives was most dearly cherished, but amongst all the memories which I shall carry to the grave, none will be superior to those connected with the last act of my life which brought me here, and which has so suc cessfully terminated.—(Loud cheering.) When Lord Ashburton sat down he was loudly cheered, particularly by Major Jack Downing. Mr. JAY then gave, " Daniel W e b ster, spec i ally re presenting the United States in the treaty of Wash ington, he has nobly fulfilled the trust." The following letter was then read by some one, it is immaterial by whom : " Washington, August 27, 1842. " Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th inst.; inviting me . to a public dinner, to be given in New York, on the Ist of September, to Lord Ashburton, in token of re spect for his character and of congratulation upon the successful termination of his mission of peace. " Although it is my intention to go north within a few days, for the purpose of health and recreation, yet it will not he in my power to leave this city in time to be in New York on the Ist of September. " I pray you to believe, Gentlemen, that none entertains more cordial sentiments of respect than my self towards the distinguished person who is to, be your guest on the occasion. " I have the honour to be, respectfully,. your obe dient servant, " DANIEL WEBSTER." Mr. EvANs, of Maine, then rose and said,--I regret for many reasons that our distinguished countryman, to whom you have paid the meed of approbation so richly merited, is not present to thank you in his own expressive eloquence for the kindness you have here manifested, and for the gratification you have ex pressed in the result of an important negotiation in which he has so largely participated.—(Cheers.) As no other person is present who has been so near an observer of the progress of these negotiations as my self, allow me to thank 'you, in the name of that great statesman, for the favours you have bestowed on his labours, which have been so successfully terminated. The public situation which I so unworthily fill, has made me a near witness of the arduous and laborious duties of that great man, in bringing to a happy con clusion all subjects of difficulty between the two great nations. I am restricted, Sir, from speaking minutely of the correspondence which preceded the termination of this important negotiation ; but I may add, with out any breach of trust, that whenever the world shall he treated to a perusal of all the documents con nected with this matter, no American will find a blush on his cheek, when those important and able State papers, which' have emanated from that man's pen shall be read to the civilised nations on earth.-.. (Loud cheers.) And sure I am, on the other hand, that there is no man in this land who loves his coun try, who regards the duty which he owes to God and - his fellow-men, but will f e el prouder of the land which gave him birth, at the manifestation of gigantic intel lect and noble patriotism which will then be seen in the documents to which I refer.—(Tremendous cheers.) You must be aware, Sir, that it was a most arduous labour to undergo—that it was no light mat • ter to cope with the clear, discerring, sagacious, ex perienced intellect o f th e di s tinguished nobleman to' whom, with a far-s ee i ng saga city, the British Govern ment had confided the important interests she had at stake.—(Cheers.) But, Sir, in addition to all else, the American statesman had a domestic treaty to:ne gotiate with some of our own States; and although he was then occupying what was a. new station for him, yet the country had had befbre such proofs of his stupendous talent and patriotism, that they felt they could re ly on his honour and judgment for the protection of our dearest rights, and the result has Justified their trust.—(Cheers.) They did repose implicit confidence in the power and skill which he brought to bear on these important topics, and the whole country applauds him for the result.(Great cheering.) We all hail the, prospects and blessings of a perman en t peace , an d consequen tly a prosperous and increased c ommerce . W e a ll hail the removal of those vexati o u s . causes , w hi c h might at any moment have precipitated two powerful nations into a war-- nations whose interests are so b oun d together; . every quarter of the globe, under every sky, the se two nations have intere s t s i n common .--(Cheers.) desirable th en was it t o remove t h e cause of quarrel !—(Loud ch eers .)

With two such nat i ons , then, how desirable is it that every source of difficulty should be removed•without delay, never, never to re turn ! These two great nations should move on, ad vancing in literature, in science, in agriculture, in the arts, in all the peaceful and God-like occupations that benefit the human race, and make them more nearly approximate the nature of their Divine Creator, until the remotest period of time.—(Loud cheers.) In these things only should they go on conquering and to conquer. For have we not a common interest ? Are we not a common family ? And wherever the English language is spoken, take my word for it, there the American language is spoken also.— (Loud cheers and laughter.) Our distinguished fellow-citizen, whom it is your pleasure to remember on this occasion, has borne up nobly the honours you have confided to him in his 'arduous task; and he feels as proud of the burden as you do of the glorious manner in which he has sus tained it.—(Tremendous cheers.) But I have done. This is an occasion for us all to congratulate our selves through all time, inasmuch as the peace of two great nations has been maintained, compatible with the honour and integrity of each.—(Great cheering.) in the negotiation of this treaty there has been a frankness—an openness—a degree of talent and sin• cerity, and an earnest desire to settle all difficultiet without dissimulation, displayed on b o th s id es , which, it seems lasting. bey and g beyond adoublto, has laid th e f oun d a ti on for a long,glorious peace between the two countries.—(Tremendous cheers.)

I give you, "The M erchants of N ew York."—(Loud cheers.). The remainder of the proceedings of the evening we do not give, for the sufficient reason that the Com mittee and Stewards treated the representatives of the newspapers who were present with such gross indig nity, that the reporters rose at this stage of the pro ceedings, and left the room in a body. The foregoing report of the Proceedings at the dinner is from the New York Herald, the remaining portion is from the Evening Express, which states " that an accidental, but fortunate circumstance, enables us to give the proceedings in full, and nearly all the speeches of importance. Mr. P. HoNn responded to the sixth regular toast, " England and America." Dr. J. A. SMITH responded to the seventh, in compliment to France and her illustrious Monarch. He spoke generally of the obligations we owed to France, even for the achievement of our liberty, but in so low a tone of voice that it was difficult to hear him at any distance: • iimerican papers of three days later date than those brought by the last packet have been received. Their contents relate chiefly to the dinner givon to his Lordship at New York. At the Civic-hall between 2,000 and 3,000 citizens were introduced to him and at Astor-house he was entertained at a public b..nquet, which is de scribed as one of the most important and interesting fetes ever given in that country. Lord John Hay and the officers of the Warspite were invited to the dinner, and the brief address which his Lordship had occasion to make in the course of the evening has been very. much approved of by the citizens of New York. The following are extracts from the papers:— RECEPTION OF LORD ASHBURTON AT TEE CITY-HALL. Wednesday afternoon his Lordship received visitors in the Governor's-room in the City. hall. A deputa tion of the Common Council conducted his Lordship from the hotel to the City-hall, and the Mayor and Corporation were in attendance to receive him in the Governor's room. The MAYOR addressed him as-follows :—Lord Ash burton, the Common Council and citizens of New York are most happy to receive you -among them. The pleasure is heightened by the circuinstances. under which you visit .us. You came as a minister of peace to proclaim, we trust, an enduring amity be tween our respective countries. Although we are not officially informed of the terms of the treaty you have been instrumental in making, still, under a con victim) of the practical knowledge possessed by your Lordship, and by the authorities of the, United States who have acted with you in this matter—of the in telligence, patriotism, love of justice, and chivalry of the people of England and of the United States, we feel assured that no treaty would be proposed byyour Lordship, or acceded to by the Union, that would be unjust or dishonourable either to propose or accept. The character of both people is such, that should diplomatists succeed in making a treaty which would give unjust advantages to the cne country, and con seqaently cast distress upon the other, our peaceful relations would be of short duration, for the people of the dishonoured land would seek and obtain occasion to cause collision, for the purpose of eradicating the treaty stain. All of us, impressed with this truth, feel that the treaty you have consummated must be just and honourable to each country, and will perpe tuate the friendly relations that the same language and kindred spirits demand. For your participation in producing such a result, in the name of this city I thank you, and bid you welcome among us. - Lord ASHBURTON briefly replied—No circumstance of my life has given me greater satisfaction than that which led to my thus having the pleasure of becoming acquainted with the Corporation of this great city. It would, however, ill become me, in the present position in which I stand, to enter into any detail of the negotiation which it has been my good fortune to perform. But the kind feelings which you have been pleased to express towards me, and the settlement of the differences of two countries between whom such strong sympathies so clearly exist, would be itself more than a sufficient reward for any labour I have performed. As to any par ticular conditions which that treaty may contain, they may be of comparatively little importance, but it is of great and paramount importance that, through it, two great nations, having a common origin and lan guage, and very many common feelings and sym pathies, should be thus united on terms of common reciprocity. Great and heartfelt is, therefore, the pleasure which I feel in making the acquaintance of the citizens of this great city under such circumstances. The MAYOR then introduced his Lordship to the Members of the Corporation, and a large number of our most respectable citizens who were present. not make a- speech. Ile were alto profession ; but he woule a toast s and that in ho -001. BANKHRAD, United States army, was called upon to reply to the toast complimentary to the ar my.

IVhile their officers and crews are pur su-ng with generous rivalry the exercise of their duties to their respective Governments, m ay they also emu late each other in their endeavours to meliorate the condition of the native African." To the ninth iegular toast, " Prosperity to Com me: Ce," James de Peyster Ogden, President of th e Chamber of Commerce, was called upon to respond. Mr. OGDEN began with remarking , that the inte rest of commerce was so connected with the cant) u ance of peace, that there was great propriety '4l com. mercial men expressing their high gratification now over peace thus brought about. It was more espe cially proper in this case, for a commercial man, now a peer of the realm, had been the instrument of bring ing about a desirable treaty, and had thus identified his same with it in this country and in his own home. Indeed, all commercial men may feel proud that one of their own representatives, with an honoured title, had become a party to a treaty that linked together in the bonds of amity two of the greatest nations of the Forth. Your venerated father, Mr. President (address ing 111 r. Jay), was once a party to an h onour s i m il ar to this. How proper it is, then, that you preside over an assembly gathered here, years and years after, to celebrate a like occasion, for we meet here to-night to rejoice over a treaty that not only averts war, but secures to us a permanent peace, settled relations, concord, amity, and good will. It is an occasion to gladden the hearts of all, none more so than of those whose ancestors have been honoured by a like pacifi cation. I have no fear, Mr. President, that this country, even in the ardent pursuit of peace, will obey the advice of the father of our country, "to avoid entangling alliances with foreign countries ;" for I am sure we shall hold even our British brethren in peace friends, and enemies in war; but in the alli ances of commerce there is nothing entangling. In mutual prosperity there is nothing inimical to com merce and prosperity to suspend the sentiment of peace. If, however, these were - wanting to ally us to England, there are other ties. We claim England as the land of our progenitors. Her illustrious men have been ours, and we claim our share of the fruits of their labours and of their honours. And sure I am, England herself must feel honoured in seeing our " Star of empire westward take its way," and tracing in her posterity the marks of the race that has made old England herself as she is. —(Cheers.) In estimat ing the value of peace (the speaker continued) he should not limit it to boundary lines and other like matters alone. I ask you, if we should lose sight of what it does for our common care and happiness, or of the high encouragement it holds out to commerce and industry, or to the establishment among neigh bours of a general good will ? Indeed, without peace there is little or no general happiness, no general prosperity, for it takes commerce, acting under the auspices of peace, to open the avenues of trade, to bring the world together, to subdue and connect it, or to extend the blessings of civilisation everywhere.— (Loud cheers.) Peace, Gentlemen, 25 years ago, was most difficult to preserve ; but that nation that now goes to war must have adequate means, and show , good cause. The cost of war, too, has become so overwhelming that nations count it before they rush to arms ; and all nations, too, must be doubly armed. Our example now, Gentlemen, will have its effect in extending and prolonging the culti vation of peace. Nations will learn directness in diplomacy from the treaty just concluded in Wash ington. They will learn frankness too, when they see its gad effects. Indeed, they will see in the mode of negotiating that treaty, and in its results, lessons for high-minded, honest, free, and frank diplomacy, that cannot but favourably impress all mankind. Let me tender, then, to the framers of this treaty, the thanks of this commercial community; and while we enjoy its fruitful benefits, let us hope they too will have their reward.--(Great and prolonged applause.) General TALLMAGE, President of the American Institute, was called upon to reply to the tenth toast, in honour of agriculture and manufactures. Allow me, said General Tallmage, to give you assurance that ,the toast which has just been announced as the senti ment of this commercial emporium will occasion much gratification to the great agricultural and manu facturing interests of the nation. Permit me to acknowledge I feel the compliment in being thus designated as a known and admitted advocate of those great interests whose prosperity is so essential to the strength and the welfimre of the country. It is a decree of an all-wise Providence that agriculture, commerce, and manufactures are indissolubly con nected, and mutually dependent on each other. In the spirit of this connexion the farmer and the mechanic have heretofore labelled their ploughs and their workshops with the motto of "Free Trade and Sailors' Bights," whilst the navy has given pledge that, thus sustained, it will ever hold its steadz " march upon the mountain wave." By " free trade" is meant th e j us t equa lity an d f a i r r ec ip r oc i ty which agriculture, commerce, and manufactures have a right to ask--resting upon principles of the most liberal pacification. The barbarous ages, when rights were sought through war and bloodshed, have passed away. The ways of amity and peace are now the paths to known prosperity and national happiness. Surrounding countries will admire the new era of frankness, justice, and dispatch in diplomatic rela tions, and the civilized world may learn a lesson of wisdom in the pacification of national difficulties from the example now so gloriously exhibited. History , will not fail to do justice not only to the respective Go vernments, but to the distinguished actors under whose administration war has been avoided--the ties of language and relationship unbroken—and all the blessings of peace secured. I will only add the fol lowing sentiment :—" The plough, the shuttle, and the ship, surmounted by the dove and the olive branch —the emblems of the recent triumph of reason which we this day celebrate in offering respect to our noble guest." - To the eleventh regular toast, " The Peace of the World," Mr. J. W. GIRARD responded at length. Mr. Girard humorously commenced with remarking that a Committeeman in distress had besought him to reply to this toast. Mr. Girard then began by dwelling upon the importance of th ese wo rds :—" The peace of the world." Do you feel, he demanded, what this political millennium is ? Do you appreciate what is universal peace ? Do you value enough the mantle that can thus c over th e w h o l e h uman f am il y ? lam little or no public man, said Mr. Girard, no party man certainly, but my heart beat with joy when I heard this treaty was made. I did not wait to inquire into its particulars. It was enough for me to know the great question was settled, that the world would be at peace—(Cheer s )— an d th en I re j o i ce d.—(P ro l onge d cheering.) I then learned the particulars, and I was happier yet. The unicorn of England had lost no thing I saw. The old lion of England was not shorn of a hair on its mane.—(Cheers.) Nor had the eagle lost a feather of its plumage.—(Louder cheers yet.) The glorious deed was done to the honour of both.—(Prolonged and loud cheering.) I fear I am making a s.peech.—(Cries of " Go on, go on.") I cannot go on to detain you in making a 4ieech.---(Cries of " Go, on.") - Well, then, what have we done? The merchant princes of this great emporium of commerce have come here to do honour to the prince of merchants of England.—(Loud and renewed applause.) Therefore there is a nice pro priety and fitness in what we do. I, for one, came not to eat nor to drink, but as all, no doubt, have come, to testify by their presence their sense of gra titude, and of gratification, to honour, if they avow, the occasion, and by ennobling such things to make men seek for them the more hereafter. The peace :if the world ! . Think of it, Gentlemen, as connected with the interests of nations. Think of what havoc war works to property. I need not dwell upon its lestruction to morals and to life. Think of the Berlin and Milan decrees—of what ruin the wars of even other nations brought upon you. Nay, no people who ever venture beyond their boundaries can go to war without in som e res p ec ts wounding us. Mr. Girard then concluded with some humourous remarks upon the duty he had discharged for the distressed commit tee-man, which were received with much applause. Mr. M. H. GRINNELL, after a few complimentary remarks, which we heard with great pleasure, gave the following :—" Lord John Hay, Commander of her Majesty's ship Warspite. Welcome for himself— welcome for the messenger he brought" ..... Lord Joint HAY, on rising to reply, was loudly cheered. I need not say (he remarked) that lam unused to public speaking. It is not our profession (looking at Commodore Perry). I cannot, however, let a sentiment so kindly rendered pass without ex pressing my grateful acknowledgment. I can only Say that, as a British officer, one of the most pleasant iervices I ever was ordered upon was to bring the messenger just spoken of here. I deem it a high honour, one of the highest my Sovereign could have given me, as all has now turned out.—(Loud cheer ing.) We had no sooner reached the shores of this great continent than the thousand clouds that had ibstructed the vision of the future began to disperse, Ind the bright sun to peer through them all.—(Re newed cheering.) We have been received every where with th e best feelings and with hospitality. I must express my thanks for such unlooked•for hind .mess. 1. must express to you, too, my joy over the conclusion of this treaty, even if treaties are not sup posed to be what men in arms are desiring. As this good feeling is going on and increasing (again look .ng to Commodore Perry and other American officers, all in uniform), we may as well put back, and for giver, our swords into our scabbards, for we shall have no occasion to use them.--(Laughter and great cheer ing.) I hope they may rust a long while there if hey are to be drawn against each other.—(Prolonged applause.) I hope the peace may be lasting, at least as long as I last.—(More cheers.) I have no desire aver to be engaged in such an unnatural war as must ce one between your and my country.—(Renewed cheering. May you prosper long, Gentlemen, in all your enterprises —may your country long enjoy the iiberty guaranteed by your Constitution.—(His Lord -hip sat down amid loud and long applause.) I\lr. OGDEN next introduced a toast complimentary .o J. Horsley Palmer, who was present at the table, i.vhich he preaced with some complimentary remarks, hat were received with great applause. Mr.PALDIED addressed the assembly at some length, hut in a tone of voice so low, that it was quite difficult to hear whit he said. Be began with showing that it was his just duty to express his grateful acknow ledgment fir the high complimentary treat and as complimen ary receptien. He then went on to speak of the great Lratification his visit to this country had aft riled I im. Mr. Fa me trusted that he should DINNER TO LORD ASIIBUhTQN. This gnat and important festival came off at the Astor-house last night. It was one of the most im portant and interestingfitez ever given in this country. The assembling of so many merchants and leading men in this city to welcome here the - British nego tiator of a treaty, and through him thus to express their gratification with the course of their own Go vernment, is calculated to have the happiest effect upon our relations. with Great Britain here and here after. Lord Ashburton, Lord J. Hay, Mr. J. H. Palmer, Mr. Grattan, and others, thus witnessing with their own eyes the general' intelligence of the country, and its devotion to commerce and the arts of peace, cannot but carry, home a high regard and a warm friendship, which such men in the end will diffuse through all society. The dinner was elegantly served. The appearance of the grand hall of the Astor-house was magnificent. The music, too. was superb. Everything was set forth most attractively for the eye. , At the upper end 'of the room, behind the Chair man, there were three most beautiful and gorgeous canopies of pink, blue, and white satin drapery. Over, or rather on the top of the centre canopy, im mediately behind the Chairman, were these words, inscribed on broad white bands, in gold letters : THE TREATY GREAT BRITAIN, of UNITED STATES, WASIIINGTON, ASHBURTON, 1842. WEBSTER, Immediately after dinner, Mr. JAY, who presided, gave the first toast, " The President of the United States." He then gave " The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." Drunk with cheers, the band playing " God save the Queen." Mr. JAY then gave -Our guest, Lord Ashburton, happiness and honour to him who has contributed to preserve peace between two great nations." The music then struck up " The Fine Old Eng lish Gentleman." - After which, Lord ASHBURTON rose and said :—Gentlemen, in returning thanks for the honour you have just done me, I apprehend that I shall not be regarded as de parting from the rules of ordinary custom of persons in my situation, in expressing my utter inability to express the feelings with which I am overpowered. I feei that the enthusiastic reception which you have been pleased to give to the toast just drunk has been elicited rather by the sentiments. which ac companied it, than the name of the individual who has the .good fortune to be associated with it on this, occasion. I can assure you, Gentlemen, that never did I . experience more difficulty to express in a few words my deep, feeling than on this occasion. Never have I been so forcibly impressed with the importance of the great subject with which my name has for some time past been so fortunately connected. Having, as many of you must be well aware, from the intimate connexion subsisting between British and American commerce, passed the early period of my life in active commercial pursuits, I had hoped to be enabled to pass my declining days in that peaceful quiet to which a life of industry is so well entitled.—(Loud cheers.) But, nevertheless, when there was presented to me the opportunity of aiding in the achievement of that which had long been the sincerest desire of my heart—the cementing to gether of these two great countries—and I can hardly call them two, for their. denizens are one people, though they inhabit different continents—(Cheers) — when that opportunity offered I could not for a mo ment hesitate. In these circumstances I visited your shores, in order to conduct the negotiations which have so happily terminated, and which have on this evening received your enthusiastic approval.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I cannot but regard it as some what singular and auspicious that the respectable gentleman who presides at this hospitable board should happen to be the immediate descendant of a man whose name will live in your memories so long as honour, patriotism, and virtue are venerated—l mean the late Mr. Jay.—(Applause.) That illustrious man stepped forward on an occasion somewhat similar to that which you now celebrate, and, hav ing visited England, happily succeeded in his er rand of peace, although made under circumstances of a far more difficult nature than those which surrounded me on a mission which has ic—lac l i i iio: a .aigs d ‘e. a like fortunate ter mination. The task imposed on Mr. Jay was indeed an arduous one. At that period wild passions were at work, and the voice of the messenger of peace could only with difficulty be heard. But amid all those trying circumstances that great man, and those who supported him, did maintain the independence of this country, and saved both nations from a most serious war at that time, whilst war was raging amongst the nations of the earth; and, undoubtedly, he laid the foundations of the great commercial prosperity of America.—(Great applause.) .Fortunately, Gentle men, I have had much less difficulty to encounter ; for when I add to the reception I met with at Wash ington from the President—from his Cabinet—from the Senate and House of Representatives—that cordial welcome which I received at Boston—that cradle of American liberty and independence—and also the re aibeLtio,pnyuctdoiniso:cieinNrill,c‘viNct•iiiio:tt:her,u,h-mp‘hllN'tinllasileLreldils:su,oirhe:fuelarl:3ne'ae: Lcen greeted here, as well e na L tue persons,me t n bh s o rc l d ofoelfsl that ecioNt, uee Idr board, on;ihaoorods there shook respectable citizens, I naturally ask, where is the danger of war between England and Ame rica: —(Great applause.) Whatever may be hidden I do not pretend to scan; but, of a verity, I can say that I have seen nothing but the greatest and most unaffected cordiality and good will and friendship. Still, although my mission has' Lcen made in pecu liarly happy circumstances, yet I trust that I shall not be chargeable with vanity in saying that " I, too, have done the State some service."—(Loud and long continued cheering, in which the voice of Major Jack Downing was heard vociferating " Bravo, bravo l") Looking on this country, and observing everywhere the same vigour of intellect, and fie same generosity of feeling, with which I had the honour to be ac quainted many years ago, I cannot bring myself to believe that such a people and my countrymen can ever be brought to make war upon each other. Yet it has, I must confess, afforded ma the greatest possible gratification to reflect that I have been the humble instrument of aiding in the settlemOnt of those ques- not, as a British merchant, go beyond propriety if he tendered his thanks to the Noble Lord who had been so instrumental in bringing about this treaty,—thanks, at least, for himself if he could not take the li berty to anticipate the views of British merchants, and speak for them all. He was sure the countrymen of the Noble Lord would be gratified, not less than Americans were, when they learnt that he had ad justed difficulties that had existed for so many years— one of them indeed, upwards of half a century, thus en dangering private interests daily, but more. particularly of late., as the proximity of population had infused new wrath and new fire into the old dispute. For five or six years, indeed, quarrels had sprung up that were all the while threatening to embroil the two countries, but happily they had now been all adjusted, so that the future can be looked to with tranquillity. The gentleman next said that he looked upon this treaty as the first step towards restoring the prosperity of the country. Another great step, we understood him to say, was the late Revenue Bill that had just passed Congress. No country could get along, he said, without an adequate revenue. The Government could have no credit without, and when the Government had no credit individuals who lived under it would suffer by its discredit. With these two measures, he con tinued, better days would now come. He trusted such would be the result at least, for this country and his own country were now so much connected, that distress in one was distress in the other, and what affected America re-ficted now upon Great Britain. 1 cannot say, however, he continued, that these two measures are all you need. A sound currency is a necessary ingredient of your. prosperity,—an ade quate, a general, and a sound currency, for it is as in dispensable as anything else to national prosperity. Mr. Palmer then went on to advert to the facts re specting the negotiation of the treaty, and to draw from them the inference that whatever subject of dispute arose hereafter it would be settled in the spirit of this treaty, so that a long and durable peace might be looked for. He concluded with the follow ing toast—," Prosperity to the Commerce of the United States at home and abroad." The next toast was " His Honour the Mayor of the City of New York." Mr. MORRIS, the Mayor, responded to the toast in a neat speech. He was not vain enough, he said, to suppose this toast was introduced for him, but for the post he had the honour of filling. As for the treaty, on account of which they had assembled, he could only say—as he had not, of course, seen an official copy—that there was reason to believe, from the re presentations of the Press, and gentlemen present, who spoke admirably of it, that it must be good, or else it could not be represented as it was. As there were, however, yet other subjects of difference, he would offer the following sentiment :—" England and America. Their peaceful relations, to be perpetual, must be founded in justice and reciprocity. PROSPER WETMORE, Esq., in behalf of the Com mittee of Arrangements, then offered the following toast :—" The British Representative (on this occa• sion) of the Dominion of Letters—Mr. Thos. Colley Grattan." Mr. GRATTAN, thus called upon, rose amid loud cheers, and in substance thus addressed the meeting : Could any sentiment or toast on a day like this, Mr. President, be suscep tibl e o f a mere l y local or merely personal application, I should assuredly feel myself unfitted for even attempting a reply to that which has been, so unexpectedly by me, proposed. But there are occasions, and this is one of them, when men cannot yield to weakness, and I must not falter, however I may fail, in performing the duty to which I am encouraged by the inspiring associations of this scene.—(Great attention.) I see here the joint re presentation of the commercial communities of New York and London ; American and British diplomacy giving to each other the hand of brotherhood; and the gallant officers of both countries sitting shoulder to shoulder, and interchanging broadsides of good fellowship—(Loud. applause)—and I am proud and happy of the opportunity of raising my voice in the chorus of general rejoicing sent up from this assem blage of the talent, respectability, and, I must add, the enthusiasm of this great city.—(Continued ap plause). This meeting, Sir, although it has taken the form of a social and convivial party, is far superior to common-place festivity, and to the every-day celebra tions of public events. Its immediate object is, no doubt, , to do honour to the noble individual who, in the con duct of a great transaction," has established his claims to a large measure of distinction. This dinner may be called the first instalment of the national debt of gratitude which is justly due to him—(Cheers, and cries of " llear, hear")—and every generaus heart will freely give its mite of sympathy to form the whole amount for the payment of that debt.—(Re newed applause.) But it appears to me that a still higher purpose animates this meeting. I cannot help viewing every man here as a representative of national feeling, for the purpose of setting the seal of public approbation on the important document so often and so eloquently alluded tc—(Great attention)---which although it might have gone through all its official forms is not wholly ratified until hallowed by the voice of popular applause—(Long and lotid bursts of applause interrupted the speaker)—and never, Sir, was any public act more certain of that glorious consummation.—(Cheering and great sensation.) It is not here alone, not only in the halls of Boston and New York—from the Atlantic to the Lakes— from the shores of Long Island to the Rocky Moun tains,.that that voice will be heard. It will soon re verberate in the very heart of England ; and there caught up it will be sent to the remotest of her vast possessions in circling eddies of glad sound.—(Con tinued and yet louder applause and cheers.) Peace and good-will between America and England will be henceforth the watchword and the rallying cry of civilisation. Commerce, recovering from its para lysis, will put forth new vigour. Political asperities will be, one by one, smoothed down. Literature, with which my name has been so kindly and so flatteringly associated, will gush from its thousand springs to fertilise the New World and the Old, no bitterness in its waters, and the lighted bubbles that float on them more buoyant and brilliant than ever.—(Cries of "Hear, hear," and applause.) Wherever the Anglo- Saxon blood may circulate, or the English language be spoken, there hearts will beat and tongues wag merrily.—(Laughter.) And when we reflect, Sir, that it is from this room, this night, that so stirring anim pulse will be given to so large a portion of the Chris tian world, ought we not to make it a night of noble revelry.—(Laughter and cheers.) Every glass may be filled without stint and emptied without reproach. —(Continued laughter.) Temperance itself needs not blush at a jubilee like this.—(Loud laughter and pro longed applause.) But, Sir, we must not in the de lightful anticipations of this day be led too far. We must not expect impossibilities-or believe that eternal sunshine settles on our heads.—(Great attention.) Between countries so ardent, so enterprising, so emu lous of each other's greatness, new causes of difference, aye, of dispute, must be expected to arise. If, under the auspices of your noble guest, and the example which he and his eminent associate in the late nego tiation have given to the world, no disturbance on questions of political right is to be feared, we may still look out for some on questions of international copyright.—(Laughter and cheers.) But I shall not dwell on that subject. In the words of a distinguished countryman of mine, Sir Lucius 0' Trigger, " it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands."—(Renewed laugh ter.) But we, G en tl emen, can have no dread of any serious issue to those inevitable discussions of right or wrong. We, who have seen the political atmosphere on many occasions lowering and cloudy—and on one occasion peculiarly Mue-cloudy—(Laughter)—have also seen that th e sun o f conciliation is sure to shine through all.—(Great cheering.) The worst that is to be for the future apprehended between the two coun tries is diplomatic argument and political agitation. Of the first we need not be now afraid. Of the latter I never had any dread. I believe political agi tation' when it stops short of outrage, to be the safe guard of free institutions, and the very instinct of the common nature of the English and American people. —(Sensation, and cries of " Rear.") I know, Sir, it is difficult to set limits to its exercise—boundary lines are the very hardest to dra'w clearly—(A laugh) —but the recent transactions have proved that they are the easiest to be hoaourably compromised.— (Laughter and cheers.) No, Sir, I have no dread of popular agitation.—(General attention.) As the sea is by its eternal motion kept pure, so are the waters of freedom preserved by their action from becoming stagnant. As long as the ocean has its tides and waves, and as long as the public mind has its passion: , and its affections, no permanently noxious conse quences can be generated by their 'leavings.. Every storm-gust that ruffles their surface, or uplifts them in their depths, carries health and vigour on its Wing:. from the elements it has so convulsed.—(Lond cheer ing.) This, Sir, is at least my theory. lifein all its It may be, perhaps, a little too Irish ; but I hate stroll dull monotony. As the hero of the tragedy— "l like the rocking of the battlements." —(Cheers.) I hold that the straining of the public mind preserves while it proves its elasticity, It may bend and give before the tempest, but it will not warp or break ; like the masts and timbers of th e ga ll ant ship, in which one of your noble guests is about to ion anc bear away the other, to their grateful and expectant country, which in their different spheres they have served ✓ so faithfully arid so well.—(Sensat • v cheers.) It now, Mr. President, only remains foi me to ask your permission to offer you a sentiment. The absence from this festi va l o f some of those wh ose presence was I perceive solicited, allows me to perform a task peculiarly grateful tomy ee i f rngs- I w ill pro pose " The health and h app i ness of the seven Com missioners from Maine and Massachusetts during the recent negotiations at Washington:' My' o ffi c i a l re sidence in one of th ose S tatfrs, neigh bourhood to the othe r , have and my close tage of a personal a cqua i ntat T e r e o % c v u it r h ed ai m l o e f t t h h e os advan - gen tlemen : and lam sure I may, without c presumption; y appeal to your distingui s h e d guest Lord Ashburton icr the confirm a ti on of m assertion, that in their late arduous duty they gave evidence, one and all, of the most anxious desire for the happy termination of those labours which have led to this joyous celebra tion. Mr. Grattan sat down amid loud and long ap plause, after giving the following toast The Health and happiness of the Seven Commissioners at Washington from Massachusetts and Maine." The Ibllowing toast was also introduced by the Committee of Arrangements, to which Mr. Buchanan replied :—" Our distinguished and esteemed Fellow- Resident, almost our Fellow-Citizen, the British Con sul for New York, James Buchanan?' "The Health of Mr. Bradley," who assisted in pleading the cause of M‘Leod, was also drunk. Lord ASHBURTON then rose and dwelt on the great pleasure he had had during the day and evening. He must return his thanks to the people of New York for the generous kindness with which they had wel comed him.

His Lordship then sat down amid much applause, when, after a few observations from Mr. Grinnell, and some complimentary remarks by Lord Ash burton upon Mr. Jay, the president of the meeting, at about 12 o'clock the officers retired, and the people dismissed. MONEY MARKET and CIT Y CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. POST.—It was reported that Messrs. King and would be in a condition to resume their pay ments on Monday ; statements to that effect were, in deed, hazarded by bankers and others whose authority in such cases seems entitled to credence, but there were few who were disposed to entertain them. The Madrid news, whether conveyed through the medium of the public press or through private chan nels, represents the wants of the Spanish Treasury as most pressing. In vain has Senor Calatrava, as it appears—for the truth is beginning to ooze out— offered the 160,000,000 of reals in the shape of secu cities called Treasury Bonds. Neither the Bank of San Fernando nor private banking firms will advance him one real of the money at an interest of less than 25 per cent. The new Finance Minister is on his knees, and by public edict imploring assistance tiom the citizens of Madrid. The English public ihould, therefore, be cautioned to be on their guard. For, with the Three per Cents. here, quoted though they be at the ridiculous figure of 21, a supply of money can be obtained by the ordinary and favourite Spanish expedient of clandestine issues at 15 per cent. Few persons are, it is hoped, to be lured Into the purchase of any thing bearing the name of Spanish it'ter the dear•bought experience of the last ten years. Treasury Bonds are loathed as much in Madrid as in London. Indeed, as a Treasury Bond is still a Trea sury Bond, be it in the one capital or the other, we are led to draw attention to what is passing in con sequence of the intimations given us by different correspondents, and who seem to think that the retribution visited upon Spain is not only just, but almost as speedy as .t is deserved. In 1837, when civil war threatened the capital, this Treasury paper was quoted at 65 per cent., though only 50 per cent., or one-half the. amount, had become due. It is fair, therefore, to trgue that such securities, embracing, as they did, the peculiar privilege of redemption at par, would, peace being restored, have stood now at, perhaps, from 85 to 90 per cent, or even higher, as the Exchequer paper .f other countries does, had good faith been observed. There was, however, a total disregard of the engage .nents in question. All evaporitted in idle, impudent, and hollow promises. This fa c t is worthy the attention )f General Sancho and LI. Borrajo and his financial co-operators. It is one that speaks volumes ; such truths render argument needless. CHRONICLE.--Affairs in the City are very quiet, and very little business doing. Additional gloom, however, has been throw n over th e mercantile com munity, by the announcement of the suspension of payments of :Messrs. King and Melvin, corn-factors high standing. It is confidently reported that they will resume payments in a few days. Their lia- !)ilities amount to about 180,0001., mid it is under ,tood that their assets amount to a much larger sum. ft has had the Effect of increasing the value of money a little, or rather, to make the monied class more par ticular and cautious in discounting.

BUENOS AYRES BONDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N: Sin,—lt appears that my letter, inserted in your paper of the 17th inst., on the comparative quotations of the Chilean and Buenos Ayres Bonds, has pro duced some little excitement amongst the holders of die latter Stock. The intelligence received on Wednesday last of the flourishing state of the finances of the Buenos Ayres Government, removes all doubt of th e capa bilit y o f that country to do justice to their f ore i gn cre di tors, and it may not be irrelevant to add that I have been officially informed, that in the message to the Legis .ature in the spring of this year, " The Government. of Buenos Ayres made a solemn declaration of the subject being under its anxious and most serious con iideration." I therefore hope, with such feelings, it will be their determination to pay in full all arrears of dividends, as well as principal; thus firmly esta blishing the credit and honour of their country in the opinion of the British merchant and capitalist, and replacing their bonds as A I, in the Stock Ex change list. I trust, also, th a t th e me di at i on of th's country will be successful in speedily settling the differences tJetween the Argentine and Monte Videan Republics. Not only does our commerce materially suffer by these petty wars, but the revenue loses considerably in the Income-tax, by default of the non-paying - States to their English creditors.

The Duke of Leeds and the hon. Captain James Murray, brother of Lord Glenlyon, were also i n t h e full garb of their clans, with their clay mores and targets, and the once formidable and still effective Lochaber axe. This fine body of men were encamped in the beautiful grounds of the ,Duchess of Athol', having the majestic craigy Barnes for a back ground. Some idea of the encampment may be formed,, as we are enabled to lay before cur readers the dimen gions of the different tents erected fur their accommoda tion t—There was one stupendous marquee 100 feet in ' length and 36 feet wide, eighteen circular tents 42 feet in circumference, four officers' tents 22 feet by 14 feet, with others of various sizes. The Queen's magnificent pavilion, under which covers were laid for the royal party by Messrs.
