LORD MAYOR'S DAY. INTRODUCTION OF THE LORD MAYOR TO THE BARONS OF THE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. A few minutes before two o'clock the Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Alderman Finnis, Alderman Sir W. Cubitt, Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy, Alderman and Sheriff Rose, the Town Clerk, the City Solicitor, and several of the members of the Court of Common Council entered the Court. A slight mistake occurred in the positions occupied by the Lord Mayor and the late Lord Mayor. According to the usual practice, the Lord Mayor ought to have taken his station at the right hand of the Recorder, and the late Lord Mayor on the left of that right hon. gentleman ; but by some inadvertence the late Lord Mayor was placed at the right hand of the new Lord Mayor— a circumstance to which, it will be seen, the Lord Chief Baron alluded at the close of his address. The Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Al derson, and Mr. Baron Martin having taken their seats on the bench, _ _ The RECORDER, addressing them, said that in pursuance of the duties attached to the office he had the honour to hold, and in maintenance of an ancient right, he had the honour to appear in that court upon that occasion for the purpose of presenting to their Lordships, the Barons of her Majesty's Exchequer, the gentleman who had been se lected by the citizens of London, in the exercise of their prerogative, to fill the chief seat of authority for the ensuing year- he had the honour to introduce to their Lordships Mr. David Salomons, who had been elected by his fellow•citizens to fill the high office of Lord Mayor. On former occasions it had been one of his duties to give utterance to the expression of his confidence in the ex cellence of the selection which had been made by the citizens of London in the gentleman who had preceded the Lord Mayor in that high office, but upon the pre sent occasion the circumstances concerning that choice were of a nature so novel and so important that he felt it a portion of his duty to express his opinion that the day upon which the present Lord Mayor was elected would form a memorable day not only in the annals of the city of London but in the history of religious freedom. It was well known that the present Lord Mayor was a member of the Jewish persuasion, themembers of which had for many ages been scattered throughout the earth, had been a pro scribed people, and had been the marked objects for bitter oppression and cruel persecution; but of later times that oppression and that persecution had very considerably di- Minished, even if it had not been totally abandoned by most nations. In their own country, however, there had been no disposition to interfere with persons of the Jewish perivasion in the exercise of their commercial pursuits, and gradually and by degrees such had been the effect of civi lisation that almost every shackle which had formerly op pressed that people had been removed. The family of Mr. Alderman Salomons had for upwards of a century been con nected with the city of London as merchants, as under. writers, and in the general commerce of the country ; while the alderman himself had been distinguished as a patron of genius in every form in which it had appeared, and his conduct had been marked by energetic and suc cessful efforts in the promotion of education and civilisa tion. And he might here be permitted to add, that Mr. Salomons had been equally celebrated for the large chroi table contributions by which he had endeared himself to his fellow-citizens. It was not alone by this election that Mr. Salomons would be hailed by the members of his com munity as their champion, but it would be borne in re membrance that he had successfully vindicated their right to hold municipal offices. In the year 1831 Lord Denman, whose name could not be mentioned under that roof hut with the strongest feelings of respect and veneration, who was then the Common Sergeant, had advised the corpora tion of the city of London that they could admit Jews to certain municipal offices by administering to them such an oath as would be binding on their conscience. In the year 1835 Mr. Salomons, having distinguished himself for his charitable contributions and his benevolent efforts in the city, was chosen one of th 3 sheriffs for Lendon and Mid dlesex; and in order to remove any doubt as to whether, being of the Jewish persuasion, he was competent to fill the office, a special act of Parliament was brought in and passed by both houses, and accordingly, on the 29th of Sept. of that year, Mr. Salomons assumed the duties of sheriff. In the course of the same year Mr. Salomons was elected Alderman of the Ward of Aldgate, but at that time there were certain oaths and a declaration required to be taken by the holder of that office, which Mr. Salo mons, with his religions feelings, was unable to subscribe to, and the result had been that the Court of Alder men had found themselves conscientiously compelled to appeal to the law on the subject. Accordingly, pro ceedings were taken in the Court of Queen's Bench, when a decision was arrived at in his favour ; but, on an appeal from that decision to the Court of Exchequer Chamber, that Court held that the taking of the oath and declaration which was required by the act of George IV. could not be evaded. Some time after this Mr. Salomons was elected to the office of High Sheriff of the county of and in that case it was held that it was not necessary for him to subscribe to the declaration to which he ob jected. That office Mr. Salomons bad filled to the fullest satisfaction of all parties. In the year 1844 Mr. Salomons was again elected an alderman of the city of London, but the law remaining thesame as at his former election to that office he was again rejected by the Court of Aldermen. About this time a noble and - learned lord (Lyndhurst) brought in a bill the effect of which was to enable persons of the Jewish persuasion to accept and hold municipal offices, one result of which was that Mr. Salomons was again elected an alderman iu the year 1847. Mr. Alderman Salo mons being deeply impressed with a feeling of gratitude for this peaceful triumph of the cause of civilisation and education, manifested his gratitude by the establishment of a perpetual scholarship of SW. a-year in the City of London Schools. Having been appointed an alderman in 1847, Mr. Salomons thought it right to perfect himself as far as possible in the duties which would devolve upon a magistrate, and became a member of that profession of which he himself was proud, and of which their lordships 'were such distinguished ornaments. In the year 1850 he was elected as one of the representatives for the borough of Greenwich; as their lordships were probably aware, the right of the Alderman to sit without taking certain oaths had become the matter of legal proceedings, which wore still pending. The citizens of London, however, re joiced that whatever difficulties might exist in respect of the law as to Mr. Alderman Salomons taking his seat in the House of Commons, yet there there was nothing to prevent their electing him to fill the high office of chief magistrate of their city. There was an important year before there; the year which had just passed had also been one of my ked importance, and it might be that the ensuing year might be distinguished by the crowning of their triumphs ant a happy peace. Ho had given an outline of the history of the present Lord Mayor, and it was upon the grounds which he had stated that the citizens of London had chosen him as their chief magistrate. He doubted not that at the termination of his year of office the Lord Mayor would he greeted with the samo expression of esteem, respect, and satisfaction which had greeted him at the conclusion of his shrievalty. Sir Francis Graham Moon, who now retired from the office of chief magistrate, had discharged its func tions in a manner which had not only redounded to his own credit, but had shed lustre over the body of which he is a member. Sir Francis Moon had had the good fortune to fill that office in a year which had been distinguished by the visit of those illustrious persons, the Emperor and Em press of the French. He had also the unusual gratificati,n of entertaining as his guests the Prefect of Paris and a nu merous deputation from the municipal body of that city. He, with other members of the corporation, had subse quently paid a visit to Paris, and one result would be to cement the growing attachment between the people of the two countries, and thus show to the world at largo that the people of those conntries were but as one community. Sir Francis Moon, at the termination of his year of office, retired intocompara,tive private life with the esteem and respect of his fellow-citizens. The CHIEF BARON said ho had to congratulate the Lord Mayor, on being presented in that Court, as having been chosen by his fellow-citizens to fill the highest position in the greatest commercial city the world had ever beheld. The election of the Lord Mayor was marked by a variety of cir cumstances which h a d b ecome par t o f th e hi s t or y o f the countr gratifying to find that the tone of religion had so moderated It was that owing to his conduct his fellow citizens had deemed h . Majesty as qualified to fill of presentation to her which they could confer the highest municipal office upon him. The Lord Mayor had also been deemed srti not only of the city of Ly onect being appointed a magistrate London, but of two counties. It was gratifying, furthe rmore, to compare the toleration of the present day with th e s t a t e of things as they had existed in that country very little more than century since. When, in the year 1753, a bill was passed the Legi s l a t ure t e enable persons of the Jewish persuastyn to be come natural ised without taking a part in the ceremony tg in whi c h th e y co uld not join without profanation, aLe r r i i n se to so much public clamour and public disturbance that one of the first measures introduced intl " ) P th ar at iam year, during the ensuing session wa s an act to repeal that act, not on the ground that there was any apprehnision of (ten ger arising to the Christian religion itself, but because it produced so much public disturbance and c lamour that the peace of the country was endangered, and the effect in all probability, would have been to drive out of the country all persons who professed Jewish opinions. The Lord Mayor appeared in that court upon the present occasion to assert the right of the citizens of London to elect their own chief officer, and to claim for the citizens all those privileges and immunities which they had enjoyed from ancient times. He had no doubt that by his be nevolence and charity, of which so much had been attributed to him by the learned Recorder, he would at the termination of his year of office, retire with as much honour and credit to hi:eh-self as had distinguished any of his predecessors, many of whom had taken a high place in the history of the country. He believed that, should any public disturbance arise during his year of office, the Lord Mayor would be prepared to exercise the authority of the chief magistrate with that firmness and energy which ought to belong to one filling so high an office. But, for himself, he must say he saw no cause for apprehension of anypublic disturbance. With regar d t o t h e l a t e L o rd ' Mayor, Sir Francis Moon, his year of office had expired, and he was happy to congratulate him upon his retirement would e i , rnparative state m of private life ; nevertheless he doubtleesve many duties to carry out, which he would iatedh a u ccomplish with credit to himself. He congratu ini portant al u cT the way in which he had discharged the visit of the tmesesehich had fallen to his lot during the happy also to h P av rer t and Empress of the French. He was on having been hoonhe opportunity of congratulating hiai with the title which"evred, by the favour of her Majesty, ei)ottul. descend to his children, on the occasion of that anspi visit. He would now advert to a circumstance which had paused soma a seme little confusion in th e the Court had always re cei court. His imression until th e present occas i on an on from the civic authorities as to tha Barons.whilriteTlr'neor(ti, Mayor would be presented to the That had his had not been been done in the present instance, and therefor e the B s in court to nceiva the Lord Mayor on h-- entrance. Look ing at the arrangement of the civic body me theyhensto,x for, instead, before the Court, he could not help remarking th at ' had not " the right man in the right place," on the right hand side, and the' late Lord the Lord Mayor being Lord Mayor on the left hand side of the Recorder, h e fom ; sl that, both were on the right hand side of that learned fa n , tionary. Next year, when he should have the happi ee „ of receivin : tho Lord Mayor on his retirement, he hope t o see all parties in their right places. The usual oaths were then administered, and The Recorder, by the command of the Lord Mayor, in ‘itcd their Lorhehipe to partake of a banquet to be given at the rSuildhall that evening Th e m e. c BARON said that some of the membe rs of the Court 7ould do themselves the honour of being pre sent. THE BANQUET given by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs on their accession to office, took placeuca a l t at the . Guildball. The decora tion of this splendid city festivity, with the ad jacent apartments requisite ofo tho accommodation of the guests, was intrusted to . 4 funning, the city architect, who acquitted himself of ther.dot!Y in a manner which f o lly sustained his Previous andsrieputationfor artistic taste. The m lobbies andreception . r ooms were orna mented with a rrcfuF.L:n of rlants, at a tuary, and arraoli.:l trophies, and in some of the larger apartments very beau- I tiful transparencies were exhibited. In the banquetting-hail the compartments of the great 1 eastern window, above the dais occupied by the Lord Mayor and the principal guests, were filled in with a large allego rical transparency, painted by Messrs. Fenton and Abso lom. The principal figure of this design represented Liberty pointing to the printing press—the emblem of civilisation —which, with Education and Justice (represented by alle gorical figures), are dispelling Superstition, Prejudice, and other evil passions. Below this design is the motto, " Magna est et prmvalebit." Immediately behind the Lord Mayor's seat, and beneath the large transparency, were portraits of the Sultan, Omar Pasha, the King of Sardinia, and General Della Marmora. The splendid glass star of the Order of the Garter, presented (we believe) to the corporation by Mr. Alderman Copeland, glittered with its usual brilliancy from the western window, and the Gothic screen at that end of the building was sur mounted by allegorical figures representing France and England, below which were displayed medallion portraits of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of the French. On the north side of the hall were displayedat intervals medallion portraits of the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Raglan, Sir De L. Evans, General Simpson, General Cathcart, and Lord Cardigan, and on the south side were portraits, in a similar style, of Prince Napoleon, Marshals St. Arnaud and Pelis sier, General Canrobert, Admirals Lyons, Bruat, and Ha melin, and General Bosquet. These portraits were sur mounted by military trophies, composed of swords, mus kets, pistols, and bayonets, anti around them were grouped v3ry tastefully the national colours of the allied Powers— England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. Among the guests we observed the French Ambassador, the Lord Chancellor, Lady Cranworth, Viscount Palmer ston, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord John Russell, Viscount Hardinge. Lady Hardinge, Lord Panmure, Sir George Grey, M.P., Sir Chas. Wood, M.P., Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., Mr. R.

Poland, Sir G. Hodgkinson, Mr. Swift, M.P., Sir C. D. Crosley, &c. Lord John Russell, who arrived before any leading members of the Ministry, was received with some applause. The Turkish Minister, the French Minister, and the Sar dinian Minister were loudly cheered as they passed through the hall on their way to the reception room.l Lord Pal merston and Lord Panmure were also warmly greeted when their names were announced. The banquet was provided by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and fully sustained the reputation of their cuisine. The band of the Coldstream Guards, stationed in one of the galleries, performed selections from several popular over tures during dinner, and an efficient vocal corps, under the direction of Mr. Ransford, also contributed to the enjoy ment of the guests. Mr. Harker officiated with his usual efficiency as toastmaster. The cloth having been drawn, The LORD MAYOR gave the customary loyal toasts, which were duly honoured. His LORDSHIP then said that the corporation of London recently had the honour of receiving in that hall the Empe ror and Empress of the .French—(cheers)—and they had then the pleasure of hearing from the chosen Sovereign of the French nation a declaration of the importance which he attached to the alliance between this country and France. (Cheers.) The Emperor and Empress, on their way to and from that hall, were received with the uni versal plaudits of the people of the metropolis, and that feeling had been reciprocated when the Sovereign of this country had paid a visit to France. (Cheers.) The im• portance of an intimate alliance between the two coun tries was acknowledged by both, and he had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing " The health of the Emperor and Empress of the French." (The toast was drunk with three times three and loud cheers.) The FRENCH AMBASSADOR said,—Je vous remercie, Milord Maire, d'avoir propose dana cette enceinte le toast qui vient d'etre si chaleureusement accueilli. Il y a 35 ans qua rEmpereur Napoleon I. exprimait le regret de n'avoir pu vaincre les prejugees des deux peuples et de n'avoir pu gagner ramitie de l'Angleterre "Quo de grandes choses," s'ecriait-il, "nous aurions pu faire en semble !" Eh bien, Messieurs, ces gran d ee c h oses s'accom lissent aujourd'hui pour le bonheur et la securite du monde. Le tombeau de Napoleon a recu la piens° visite de votre illustre Reine, et sous un autre Napoleon, qui a compris lee veritables interets de son pays, la France est devenue l'intime allies de l'Angleterre. (Cheers.) Ce n'est pas tout. Notre alliance ne repose pas seulement sur des cir constances a cidentelles, mais ear l'etroite union des in terets des deux peuples—(cheers)—interets aujourd'hui t Alement confondus qee rien d'heureux on de malheureux no pout arriver chez l'un sans se reproduire chez l'autre. Quand deux pays en sont arrives Id, leur alliance est a l'abri de toutes especes d'intrigues. (Cheers.) Aucune puissance humaine ne pent plus lee B:!parer. (Cheers.) Et quand on pease que runion de nos deux pays, l'un plus specialement maritime, l'autre plus specialement nailitaire, constitue la plus grand puissance qui alt jamais existe, nous pouvons attendre dans la plus complete secarite risme de cette guerre. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then rose, and said it was with great pride that lie now ps-v i muc.d tho tv.zb of " The Army and Navy of England, together with the Armies and Navies of our Allies." (Applause.) The English army had, during the present war, more than sustained its ancient reputation for heroic valour. (Hear, hear.) Its patience under severe hardships, its unflinching loyalty, and its determined bra very deserved from the people of this country the warmest gratitude. (Cheers.) The British army had been nobly and fraternally sustained by the troops of our ally the Emperor of the French. (Applause.) The terms which he had used with respect to the English army applied with equal force to our allies the French, and the conduct of the French troops during the present war claimed not only our grati tude but our admiration. (Cheers.) Nor ought he, when speaking of the deeds of the armies of England and France, to omit to call special attention to the conduct of our allies the Sardinians, who had entered into the contest wich the utmost chivalry, and had shown the strongest desire to be foremost in the fight. (Cheers.) Our Turkish allies, also, who might be considered, as it were, the principals in the war, had proved that they could valiantly defend their country against the assaults of an aggressor. (Hear, hear.) Ho had great pleasure in giving the health of Field-Mar shal Lord Hardinge in connexion with the army ; and the First Lord of the Admiralty would, he was sure, acknow ledge the toast on behalf of the navies of England and of our allies. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord HARDINGE begged to return thanks for the honour just conferred on the army. Ho thought that on no for mer occasion had British officers and soldiers surpassed the reputation which they had acquired during the present war. (Cheers.) In the course of the war important ope rations had been undertaken. The stronghold of the enemy had been captured, his fleet had been burnt or sunk, and in fact the strength of the Russian army and navy had been seriously crippled. (Hear) He was anxious to bear his testimony to the . ardent friendship and cor diality which had existed between the French and English armies, for be believed that it was to their cordial co-ope ration that were mainly to be attributed those successful results at which they all rejoiced. (Applause.) The Lord Mayor had very properly proposed the health of the French army. He (Lord Hardinge) would not presume to return thanks on behalf of the French army, but he might be al lowed to give expression to those sentiments of warm esteem which were entertained for the French soldiers by the officers and soldiers of this country serving in the Crimea. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in paying this tribute to the French army in the presence of the French Ambassador. The noble lord, who was indistinctly heai d, concluded by expressing his approbation of the valour dis played by the Sardinian troops at the Battle of the Tcher naya and by the Turkish army at Silistria, and more re cently at Kars. (Applause.) Sir C. WOOD returned thanks on behalf of the navy, ob serving that he was confident he was sufficiently acquainted with the feelings of those engaged in that service to be able to assure the company that they would receive this distinguished mark of favour with the highest gratitude. Perhaps he could hardly with propriety return thanks on behalf of the French navy for the honour conferred on them, but as they had been recently associated with the British navy in all their operations, ho thought that the officers and men of the navy of France could scarcely be dissociated from the British navy when such 'a toast as the present was proposed. Some time ago he expressed his belief that whenever the navy was called upon it would discharge it s d u t y with the same efficiency as that whi c h had ever distinguished it, and he was sure he might now confidently say that the officers and men of the navy had d p sT r c f o hh r ea m r t e e : iittt the hmedlu mostTtioens sat i sfactor y nwehx I C h p rthys proposed "Prosperity e b r . e en (c hcea ( Cheers) r e s d .t)o o nto City of London an d to its Trade," which was acknowledged by the DEPUTY-G OVERNOR of the Bank of England. The Loan " l!klevoit proposed " Th e health of the late by Mr. Alderman Lord Mayor, MooN. and the co mpliment was d u ly ac k now l e d ged The LORD MAYOR then gave "The health of the Foreign Ambassadors," which was briefly acknowledged on behalf of the corps diplomatique by the French Ambassador.

(Cheers.) Ho begged leave to propose " The Health of Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's Ministers." (Loud chee r i ng ,) Lord PALMERSTON said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentleman, on behalf of my colleagues, and for myself, I bee- you to accept our most cordial thanks for the hcnour you have done us in proposing this toast and . especially for the kind and flatteri who are honoured wiathwtahyes received. It must ng manner in which it has been cobnefinideonste g o r f a t t h if e yi e n r g ow to n. those who entertained at the hospitable board confidence the chief magistrate of this great city. Those persons who are charged with the conduct of public affairs must, i n d ee d , be inadequate to the performance of the duties which devolve upon them if they are insensible to the value of that great principle of commercial enterprise which, I may say, is consecrated by those who sit within these walls. (Cheers.) That com mercial enterprise is one of the main foundations of the ; greatness and the power of nations. In peac e th e enterpries 1 cf commerce diffuses ci - yilisation ; it promotes the in tercourse of nations; it throws down the bar riers which separate people from people ; and tends to unite mankind in the bonds of common brotherhood. (Cheers.) When war unfortunately happens—as in the course of human events we must expect that it sometimes will—e )mmeroe furnishes those means by which war can be successfully carried on in such a manner as to insure a safe, honourable, and lasting peace. (Cheers.) It must, my Lord Mayor and gentlemen, be deemed at all times by high-minded, men one of the noblest positions to which an individual can aspire to be charged with the conduct of the affairs of a great nation like this. (Cheers.) But if ever there was a moment when those who are charged with such a duty may feel peculiarly proud of the honour con ferred upon them, and also peculiarly sensitive as to the deep responsibility which that honourable charge imposes, the present moment is beyond question the greatest that ever, perhaps, was in the memory of man—(cheers)—for never did a nation present a nobler spectacle to the world than does the British nation at this time. (Cheers.) We have entered into a great contest, rot rashly, not hastily, not with levity, but upon full and mature deliberation. (Loud cheers.) We have entered into that contest because we felt that the war was necessary as well as j ust—(cheers) —and this nation evinces, from one end of the country to the other, a steady, a cabs, but a deliberate determination to submit to every sacrifice which the conduct of the war may entail—(cheers)--to show itself equal to every exer tion which the prosecution of that war may require, to ex hibit the utmost constancy in carrying on the struggle, and to continue its sacrifices and exertions until peace shall be obtained on conditions such as we may be entitled to demand. (Cheers.) We have present upon this occasion the representatives of those three allies with whom we are bound in the enterprise which we have undertaken. We have at this board the Ambassador of the Emperor of the French—that great ally who, I must do him the justice and honour to say, has, by the magnanimity of his mind, by his far-seeing perception, and by the honesty and single-mindedness of his policy—(cheers)—cemented a union between two nations which have too long been divided by jealousies and mistrust, but which, I hope, will from this period, in the words of ley noble friend the French Am bassador, for ever continue to be intimate and confiding friends. (Loud cheering.) We have also at this board the representative of the Sultan, in whose cause we have thrown ourselves into this war, and whose subjects have nobly shown that they were worthy of the assistance which we have afforded them. (Cheers.) We have, too, the re presentative of the King of Sardinia—(loud cheers)—a Sovereign whose character anti the conduct of whose people excite the warmest sympathies throughout this country, and whose good faith inspires our most implicit confidence. (Cheers.) I trust that these representatives of our allies, let them go where they willthrough the length and breadth . of the land, will see nothing and will hear nothing but , what will enable them to report to their respective Sove reigns that, while we place the utmost confidence and re liance upon the constancy with which they will support us , in the war in which we are engaged, they may rely with . equally implicit confidence upon the determination of the people of this great country ; and no man can doubt that when these four Powers are earnest in a cause—when they have drawn the sword with a full determination not to sheathe it until they have accomplished their purpose— • (loud cheers)—no human efforts opposed to their will can be successful in marring their exertions. (Renewed cheers.) . I beg permission, ladies and gentlemen, to propose a toast L which lam sure you will drink with the greatest satisfac . tion—" The Health of our host, the Lord Mayor." The toast having been drunk with the usual honours, The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks, observing that he was deeply sensible of the responsibilities of the office which had been conferred upon him by his fellow citizens, and that he hoped, with their support and by the blessing of God, to justify the good opinion which had led them to place him in so important a position. His lord ship then gave " The House of Lords," observing that many members of the peerage traced their descent from Lord Mayors of the city of London. _ _ Tho toLst was acknoivledged by tho Marquis of SAMS. BURY. The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The Health of the Lord Chief Justice of England and the Judges of the Land," and Lord CAMPBELL returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR then gave the " House of Commons," observing that among his guests was an eminent member of that house, who had long been its leader, and whose family had borne a distinguished part in English history, and he would therefore associate with the toast the name of Lord J. Russell. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose, but was received with min gled cheers and hisses so loud as to render the few sentences uttered by the noble lord inaudible to those who were not in his immediate vicinity. The noble lord was understood to express his gratification at seeing Mr. Ald. Salomons in tho position of Lord Mayor, because he regarded his at tainment of that office as a triumph of the cause of civil and religious liberty, of which he (Lord J. Russell) had always been an ardent supporter. Sir G. GREY proposed The Ladies," and the toast was acknowledged by the Lord Mayor, who gave " The Health of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex." Mr. Alderman KENNEDY returned thanks. Several other toasts were subsequently given, that of " The Bar of England" being acknowledged by Mr. Ser geant CHANNELL, and that of the " Court of Aldermen" by Mr. Alderman COPELAND. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1855. GENERAL IMET Y. ( From the Augsburg Gazette.) PESTH, Oct. 31.—The last news from the seat of war in Asia has excited intense interest here on account of the share of our fellow-countryman, General Kmety, in the glorious victory which the Osmanli obtained over the Rus sians at Kars. General Kmety not merely commanded in person at the most dangerous positions, and inspired his troops by his own example with the most devoted courage of the hero, but with his handful of cavalry pur sued the fugitive Russians, scattering death and terror among them. Who would, 25 years ago, have thought this of the harmless, blithe, and well-behaved youth then studying at the Presburg Protestant Evangelical Ly ceum for the Christian ministry I Kmety was born at Pokoragy is village elincwingly situated on an emi nence about two miles or rather less from Rima- Szombatb, in the Gomorer county, where his father, a Protestant clergyman, lived and officiated. Unfortu nately the latter died while Kmety was still a child Ile tween five and six years of age. His mother left the parsonage and removed him to Nyiregyhaz, in the Sza bolscer county, where his grand-uncle, John Schulak, was a minister, and in whose house both mother and son found a modest but happy home. While the boy George Kmety went to the elementary grammar school of that place he evinced great abilities ; here, too, he delighted his mother, uncle, and teacher by the industry with which he strove to improve his talents, and hence it was resolved to gratify the wish of the promising youth by devoting him to a learned career. He came to Eperies, where he studied zealously and successfully for some years at the Protestant college of the district, and pro ceeded thence to Presburg for continuing his studies at the Protestant Lyceum, which is acknowledged to be the best Protestant establishment of the kind in all Hungary. Ihre he prepared himself for a German uni versity, and here he was to qualify himself for taking orders. George Kmety, as one of the hardest, but at the Same time least wealthy students, contended for a scholarship. The committee at Pe s th, who had to exa mine and decide, awarded him a stipend equal to 40 florins of conventional money, a large sum in those days for a child of the muses, and a friend sent off the glad tidings to Kmety, that his petition had been complied with. A singular circumstance, however, occasioned this sum of 40 florins, intended for our George Kmety, to be besto wed on another student of the same name, through some error on the part of the notary or the committee itself. This disappointment of hopes caused the young man so much chagrin, that he went to Vienna and turned soldier. His rapid advancement proved that here also he did his duty, for by 1843 he had become a com missioned officer. The events of this and the following year are well known. In the August of 1849, General Kmety passed over into Turkey, with some other com panions in misfortune ; here he became a Mussulman ; and we see that Ismail Pacha, like the generalissimo Omer Pacha, does honour to the school in which he learned the art of war. " The hero of the day" at Kars is now in the prime of manhood, being in or near his 45th year. THE TYNE SHIPWRIGHTS.—it i 8 utterly incorrect, as stated by some of the London morning papers, that the Tyne shipwrights have held meetings at Shields with the view of demanding an advance of wages to Bs. a-day. No such meetings have been held, and no such demand has been contemplated. A considerable order has been re ceived by a large firm on the Tyne to have a number of powerful gun-boats ready for the Government by the spring of the year, and of course trade is brisk, but the Tyne shipwrights are among the most unlikely.body of men to consider their country's emergency their opportunity. They are thorough Englishmen at heart. [ADVERTISZVENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills famous for Liver Complaints. Captain Wedderburne, of H.M.'s 53d Regiment, states in a letter to Piofessor Holloway that he has great pleasure in bearing testimony to the efficacy of his pills, having tried them during a long residence in tropical climates. Being a great sufferer from liver complaints, he always found the greatest relief from Hol loway's Pills, the only efficient medicine he ever used ; therefore he should be happy at all times to satisfy any one of the good effects they have invariably had on him. —Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world ; at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, Lon don, and 80, Maiden-lane, New York ; by A.

The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering hu manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be cheerfully answered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance Feb. 20, 1851.—Eighteen years nervous debility, violent palpita tionof the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on the left side and back, shortness. of breath, cough, numbness of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of fall ing when on mylegs, all these symptoms have bee n removed by Du Barry's excellent RevalentaArabica Food. —MARX GELBERT In canisters, 11b. 2s. 9d.; 21b. 4s. 6d.; 51b . 11s. ; 121 b. 22e, The 121 b., carriage free, on receipt of Post - office order .
