SMITH, M.P., Chairman of the Thames Tunnel Company , Proceeded t o Rotherhithe, to commence this great under taking, accompanied by the directors, auditors, engineer, sur ,v,eYor, and other officers of the Company. The knowledge that Ln, e first stone of it was to be laid yesterday, excited consider bustle in the parish of Rotherhithe, and attracted to it 4411 Y persons of respectability and influence. Among the per- Colonel"ns were Admiral Sir E. Codrington, Capt. Lyon,R.N. Grant, Aldermen Atkins and Heygate, Dr. Wollaston, and several Ladies with whose names we were unacquainted. 'Alien flags were drawn across the streets in the vic init y 0 f the intended structure ; the bells of the parish church rung ati intervals during the day, and the whole parish seemed to exult in the commencement of this national enterprise. At one o'clock the Directors of the Company arrived on the ground where the tunnel is to commence. Mr. Brunel displayed and explained to the persons present the drawings descriptive of the in tended proceedings. Mr. W. Smith, previously to laying the stone, made a long discourse on the utility of the arts and sci ences, and exemplified it by reference to this gigantic under taking. The Rev. Mr. White offered up a prayer for the suc cess of it ; after which the first stone was laid by Mr. Smith, With the usual formalities, amid the cheers of the surrounding Multitude. He then filled up a bumper of wine, and drank it °t/' to the success of the subscribers, a ceremony which excited a repetion of th e same no i s y greeting. At three o'clock, the Directors and their friends withdrew from the platform to partake of a cold collation in a large workshop in the neighbour hood, which had been fitted up for the occasion. (Several toasts Were drank, an d severa l speec h es were ma d e l au d a t or y of the k.: , hairman, the Directors, and the undertaking ; and the party dispersed at five o'clock, after expressing a wish that their next Meeting might be at the other side of the river.

The Paris Papers of Monday, with the Etoile dated Tuesday, arrived last night. There is an article in the latter Journal from the Austrian Observer, which contradicts the report of the land ing of any part of the Egyptian army in the Morea, and admits that the intestine divisions among the Greeks had been appeased, and that OMER PACIIA, instead of obeyi►►g the orders of the Porte to proceed to Salonichi, would in all pro bability join the insurgents. The King of SPAIN'S health is completely restored. Hamburg Papers to the 26th instant arrived this morning. They are still chiefly filled with details of the late inundation. The following are the only articles possessing any political interest:— BERLIN, FEB. 22. Saturday, DORSETSHIRE. BIUDFORT MASONIC FESTIVAL. The annals of masonry bear record to many splendid days of moral, social, and convivial enjoyment, when the brethren of this ancient and venerable Institution have met to celebrate some tutelar Saint, or to pay honour where honour was due. On those joyous occasions Masons have been proud of hearing the endearing name of brother, and in the performance of their mystical and sublime rights have learnt to practise that best and happiest attribute of divinity—brotherly love. This feeling was never more sincerely displayed than on Tuesday last, when the brethren of the Royal George Lodge presented to Henry Saunders an elegant silver vase, as a testimony of their esteem and regard towards him. On this occasion nearly 50 of the fraternity sat down to a sumptuous banquet, com prising every delicacy which couldbe procured, and the wines were of the most delicious flavour. John Tucker, Esq., Wor shipful Master of the Royal George Lodge, presided, and was supported on his right by the Reverend Brother Dyer, and on his left by Alfred Nicholetts, Esq. After the removal of the cloth; the vase, executed in a style of superior elegance by one of the best London artists, was pro duced for presentation to Brother Saunders. On one side was an appropriate inscription, and on the reverse various masonic emblems. It was then filled with about three pints of Ma deira wine, and Henry Saunders's health heartily drank there from. The W. 111., JoaN TrCXER, then called the attention of the brethren to the subject of their meeting, and proceeded to address Brother Saunders in an elegant and appropriate speech, which he delivered in a most feeling, energetic, and impressive manner. It was to the following effect : Brother Saunders, during your absence from this-covivial board, at the late Feast of St. John, it was unanimously re solved to present to . you some mark of approbation. In con formity with that wish, we have procured this silver vase, and I have the honour, Sir, to be delegated by my most worthy brethren to deliver it to you. I wish, most certainly, that the pleasing task had fallen on abler hands—on one whose powers of language could convey too you the generous warmth of feel ing which animated every individual whose name is borne on this scroll, and who has so handsomely contributed towards it. However, Sir, permit me to assure you, that each and every one has come forward, not in the cold-blooded and luke warm manner of a heartless donation, but with every good, and generous, and amiable feeling, anxious to express his attach ment and brotherly love towards you. Believe me, Sir, if myself and my most worthy colleague, Brother Nicholetts, have studied and conformed to their V•ishes, you would not now have been requested to honour us by accepting this pigmy cup, but instead some large article, more commensurate with the feeling, some huge Leviathan, which this table could scarcely have borne; but small as this is, and humble as is the gift, receive it, Brother Saunders, as the free-will offering of men attached to your present and future welfare ; and long, long may it remain in your family, to serve each descending branch, whether as Masons or men, as an incentive to good actions and a fair worldly reputation, characters which you have so long and so honourably borne. lam not accustomed to the lan guage of panegyric, and still less to the fulsome epithets of flattery ; yet I should ill discharge my present duty were I not to convey to you, in the strongest expressions of language of which I am capable, the high sense of wlrth with which the Brotherhood regard you, not only as a Brother, but as a kind and affectionate friend, and a valued and loved companion—a man whose heart and hand are ever open to assist and relieve the indigent, to sympathize with and succour the unfortunate, one often tried, and never found wanting—one who has passed thro' a long life with credit to himself, satisfaction to his friends, and the approbation of his fellow men. I will not detain the brethren longer from the pleasure of pledging you from this cup, which I thus do, by sincerely praying that all earthly . happiness and prosperity may attend you, and that, as the spring-tide of your clays has passed away in doing good, your best summer in add ing brilliancy to the pious gems of Masonry, so may the win ter of your years be crowned with hope, with promise, and with joy • and your latter be as blameless, as blessed, as cloudless, as glorious, and be unto you one permanent and prosperous sunshine." _ _ During this address the brethren manifested their approba ton by loud plaudits at almost every period. The cup was then filled with delicious Madeira, and every Brother drank to Henry Saunders's health. The Rev. Brother DYE a then rose, and addressed Brother Saunders, on behalf of the visiting brethren, nearly as fol- THE S UN. SOLE,' QUIS DICF.ItE 1 , 47.g11.11 .4UDEAT 3 LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1 815 lows : " This day is one of the happiest of my life, and will ever be remembered by me with the most heartfelt pleasure. I have known you for a long series of years, and the intimacy has given me at all times considerable gratification. I have ever found you a just and upright man and Mason. In early life, while still a boy, and enjoying the fond endearments of pa ternal regard, my kind father has often wished that I, his Lewis, should, at maturer age, join a Masons' Lodge. My riper years drew on, I came to you, and craved your mysteries ; I did not sue in vain ; I was admitted. Although a period of forty years has since flown, still the recollection of what I owe to the fraternity for that honour is, and ever will be, fresh in my memory. 1 have spent many a happy hour in a Masons' Lodge, and there have learned that the proper study of man kind is man'—that the knowledge, useful and scientific, which was there inculcated, was calculated to lead me to happiness.— Brother Saunders, on behalf of myself and the visiting brethren assembled here, I must truly join in all ..hose feelings of re spect so eloquently expressed by your Worshipful Master, and sincerely drink your health." Brother SAUNDE us then rose, but so overpowered with feel ing as to be scarcely able to give utterance to a syllable. After a short pause, he proceeded to address the Meeting as follows : " Worshipful Master, Officers and Brethren, in our humble walks throughout this transitory life, it is always gratifying, as well as cheering, to receive the approbation of our fellow tra vellers ; and as far as this goes I have been peculiarly fortunate on the road. 'I have, my brethren, (whether merited or not,) often received marks of your kind approbation, the recollection of which will be ever dear to my heart. The occasion of our meeting this day is (among the many) another proof of your brotherly love and kindness towards me ; and be assured it far, very far exceeds my most sanguine expectations. This elegant --, and very handsome token of your esteem I receive, my brethren, .. with the strongest feelings of gratitude and respect.

The Committee, appointed by his Majesty to discuss the plans for the general representative Constitution is not dissolved; but Privy Counsellor Strickfuss, one of the Members, has not been able to make his reports to the Crown Prince, who is President of the Committee, because his children have the scarlet fever, and His Royal Highness has not yet had that dangerous and contagious disorder. There is no foundation whatever for the statement, inserted in many journals, of the appointment of a Prussian Consul at Buenos Ayres. STOCKHOLM, FEB. 15. The Government has lately appointed Commissioners who are to have the inspection of the pnsons and houses of correction in the Kingdom, and to draw up plans for the better manage ment of those establishments. vernment ; and, perhaps has been sufficiently punished for his crime in the death of his son: The Liverpool and Manchester Railway Bill I which has occupied so much public attention, fiom the degree of speculation it has excited by the exertions of the projectors to enhance the value of the shares, was read a second time last night, and referred to a Committee. It produced an interesting Debate, in the course of which Mr. BROUGHAM did justice to the merits of the late Duke of BRIDGEWATER, and rescued his memory from the calumnies and imputations which the speculators in this measure have heap ed upon it ; and it was with much pleasure that we observed its supporters in the House of Com mons disowned the attempts of these persons, and bore testimony to the veneration and respect in which his memory and character should be held by all who regard the Commercial and Manufacturing prosperity of this Country. We quite participate with the general feeling of the House that it was a subject worthy of in vestigation, but as there are so many Bills of the same nature before the Legislature, and so many others awaiting the result of the present applica tion to Parliament, we regret that the inquiry will not be general, and a Committee appointed to consider the facilities and advantages which Rail ways possess as a general means of conveyance, and a substitute for water communications. We think that this course would have produced a more satisfactory and conclusive result, and have contributed much to reduce the expences of the persons, whom the prevailing spirit of specula tions and share-jobbing has induced to embark in these underakings. For our own parts, we are inclined very much to distrust the calculations which have been laid before the Public, and to suspect that Railways will be found not to possess all those advantages which have been ascribed to them, and that they are by no means calculated to afford an easy, cheap, and expeditious substitute for Canals. We incline to think, too, that the same conclusion has occurred to the projectors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway; for it seems that the pre amble of their Bill falls very far short of their statements and prospectus, and no longer holds out expectations of reduction in the time and expence of carriage, whilst a variety of other in. consistencies, mis-statements, and miscalculations, were very ably pointed out by Mr. PHILLIPS, who spoke on the subject, and whose opinions, as a commercial man.and one practically acquainted with the nature of the present means of commu nication between Liverpool and Manchester, must have great weight with the House and with the public.

Many Masonic toasts and loyal sentiments were given, and several glees and songs introduced by different brethren. To add to the splendour of the day, a Lewis of Brother -Caw ley had executed for the occasion a rich Gothic Senior Warden's chair, which for tasteful elegance cannot be rivalled. The evenini , was enjoyed with that social harmony character istic of this noble institution. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Article on the FRENCH LAW OF SACRIFICE is in our Fourth Page this day.

Yesterday MARTIN JONES, a smith, at Har row, made a complaint at Bow-street Office of the injury which his house had received from the Scholars of Harrow School, and who had even threatened the life of himself and his son, be cause their conduct had been mentioned to the Masters of the School. Mr. Missuur.r., the Magistrate, after hearing the case at great length, told the complainant that be might rest assured he should have protection. The worthy Magis trate then gave directions that the information, as taken in writing, should be enclosed to Dr. BuTLEII, the Head Master ; and that Ellis, one of the principal officers, should be the bearer of of it, with directions to act as circumstances might require. Ellis set off with the complainant for Harrow in the course of the afternoon. BOW-STREET (This Day.)—Ellis, the Officer sent to Harrow yesterday, appeared at the Office this day. He stated that JowEs, the complainant, was desired by the Masters of the School to attend them, and state the circum stances of the case. He did so, and Ellis waited at his house till he returned, when he informed the Officer that matters had been made up to his satisfaction, without entering into particu lars. This information was given to Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, who declared himself by no means satisfied with the arrange ment that had taken place. It is said that a Peruvian Mining and Trading Company is forming, and that Messrs. NIND and COTTERILL, of Throgmortou-street, are receiving applications for shares. Mr. Secretary CANNING, we are sorry to say, was not so well yesterday. The Right Honour able Gentleman is now suffering from an in . creased attack of the gout, brought on, we fear, by the exertions which he made on Tuesday night in the House of Commons. On Monday the Right lion. Lord TEYNIJAM took the oaths and his seat in the House of Lords. DitURY-LANE. — The Oratorio at this Theatre, last night, consisted chiefly of Selections from WEBER, particularly his Battle of Waterloo, his Overture to Euranthe, and a Selection from his Preciosa. The two DE BEGNIS and BRAIIAM were the chief singers. BRAIIAM gave a new martial air with great animation. NicHoLsoN gave a Concerto on the Flute, and KIESEWETTEIt on the Violin. There was a numerous audience. 'THEATRICAL.—The agreeable little theatre in Catherine-street was opened again last night with The Beggar's Opera, and the farce of A Rolland for an Oliver. Considering that the entertain ments of this place are merely in an incipient state, they hold forth promising qualities. The Performers in general in both pieces were well received. INFIRMARY FOR Clltr.natrt. Yesterday a dinner was given at the City of London Tavern, to commemo rate the foundation of the Universal Infirmary for Children, which took place in 1816, and is now established in the Water loo-bridge-road. This is one of the moseliseful charitable in stitutions in the metropolis. It is exclusively devoted to the cure of the diseases of children of the poor, who, immediately upon being brought to the Institution, are examined by com petent physicians, and furnished with such medicines as their respective cases may require. Wards have been erected in the building for the reception of patients, which will be opened as soon as sufficient funds shall be provided. The charity, there fore, partakes of the nature of an infirmary, as well as a dispen sary—the former for surgical cases, and the latter for the ad ministration of medicines and advice gratis, in every case within the physician's province.

The Austrian Observer of to=day contains the following article COICSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 2 5. The news of the landing of several thousand men of the Egyptian army at Modon (in the Morea), must have origi nated, it seems, in some false or ill=understood report, though it was transmitted to the Porte by the Pacha of Smyrna himself. Ibrahim Pacha, it should seem, has detathed some vessels to Modon and Coron, but there are no troops on board these ves sels. Ibrahim himself is gone to Rhodes to fetch the artillery, ammunition, and troops that he left there, and to convey them to Suda in Candia, where he will make preparations for a real expedition. (Should not writers who value the good opinion of their read. ere be at length tired of these eternal announcements- of the preparations of the Mussulmans, who, for these four years and a half, have been constantly beaten and humbled by the- Greeks ?—Note of Ed. of the Etoile.) Omer Pacha has set out with his troops from Arta towards Joannina, whence it is inferred he refuses to obey the order of the Sultan to go to Salonichi. If this be the case, there is no. thing for him to do but formally to join the Insurgents. As for the troubles in the interior of the Morea, the Gazettes of Hydra represent them as entirely appeased. SeVeral chiefs, of the rebels have taken flight. ( Front the Journal des Davis. ) PARIS, FEB. 28.—Apartments are preparing at the Austrian Ambassador's for Prince Metternich. His coming to Paris has given rise to a report that a Congress was to be held, consisting of the Ministers of France, Spain, and Austria, to take some resolution as to the New American States. Several persons suppose that Prince Metternich is only coming to Paris to learn the opinion of the French Cabinet as to Greece. He is to re main at Paris till May, and is then going to Milan, where it is supposed there will be an interview between the Emperors of Russia and Austria. ( From the Courier Francais.) MADRID, VER. 17.-M. Villahermosa, who has lately had several interviews with M. Zea Bermudez, is going to his post at Lisbon, though the leave of absence which he had received is not yet expired. It is said our Court and that of Portugal do not agree, because the Spanish refugees are hospitably received in Portugal. This report is confirmed by news from Bakos, which place is put into a state of defence. To mount the artil lery on the ramparts,- the inhabitants were forced personally to assist.
