BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.--Their Majesties the King and Queen arrived at their palace at Lacken, from their visit to Flanders. By a royal decree of the 10th of September, 1834, a sum of 1,000 francs is granted to Dr. Van Roosbroeck to enable him to complete his studies on the diseases of the eye in the Universi ties of Vienna and Munich. On the 16th of August, 1833, some Dutch soldiers seized a flock of 90 sheep, belonging to M. J. Thyssen, a farmer at Sevenum, in Belgium. The shepherd who was tending his master's sheep in the marshes between the villages of Sevenum (in Leinburg) and Bearne (in North Brabant) having unin tentionally passed the frontiers with his flock, two Dutch sol diers came up and seized the shepherd and his flock. The shepherd was released, but the sheep were sold by auction. The King's Government having applied, through a diplo matic channel, to the Dutch Government, the latter consider ing that there was no fraudulent intention, has ordered a suit able indemnity to be given to the own er o f th e flock. Several of the combatants and wounded of September, as sembled yesterday, and chose the members of a committee which is to receive patriotic subscriptions for the purpose of offering a sabre to General Mellinet. ANTWERP, SEPT. 13.—The English ship Swallow, with rails for the road, arrived to-day in our port from England. It is confirmed from all quarters that the Finance Committee at Madrid has decided that the whole of the Cortes Loan shall be recognized, and that the rest of the foreign debt shall undergo a greater or less reduction, according to the resources which Spain may possess. This decision is entirely in favour of England. Since all the bons of the Cortes are at London, and the Royal bons at Paris ; France is the victim of Spanish bad faith, and with her, her poor protege, Belgium, where the royal bons are also in abunndance. GHENT, SEPT. 13.—The cholera has just broken out in the prison of this city. On the 12th instant there were 15 cases ; 2 men and 13 women. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14. —The Lynx says,—" The evening before yesterday pamphlets directed against the Belgian clergy were profanely scattered in the Grand Sablon and the neighbourhood. The police also tore down several placards posted up at the corners of all the streets leading into that square, on which were inscribed in large letters the following words,—' Death to the Priests.' " It is to be desired that the police may discover the authors of these inflammatory publications, the object of which is per haps very different from what it appears to be.—Brussels Papers, Sept. 15. GERMAN PAPERS. MENTZ, SEPT. B.—On the occasion of the change in the go vernment of the fortress, and the departure of the late Vice- Governor, Count Menzdorff, after ten years' residence among us, the citizens, out of gratitude for his dignified, just, and kind conduct in his high office, have given to this disting guished commander-and prudent statesman the freedom of the city of Mentz. The diploma, on parchment, is bound in a most curiously wrought cover of solid silver, gilt, with the fol lowing inscription :—" The grateful City of Mentz, to his Excellency Count Von Menzdorff, Imperial Austrian General, Field-Marshal, Lieutenant Vice-Governor of the confederate fortress of Mentz, &c., to merit—its Crown." In like man ner, Baron Von Muffling, hitherto commandant of the for tress, and who now becomes Vice-Governor, has during his long residence here acquired the esteem and gratitude of our citizens in such a degree, that they only waited for a favour able opportunity to give him a proof of their sentiments With this view, a costly goblet has been made with the fol !Owing inscription : " Love and gratitude of the citizens of Mentz to his Ex. cellency the Prussian Lieutenant-General Baron Von Muf fling, Commandant of the Confederate fortress of Mentz." These two marks of the sentiments of our fellow-citizens were presented to-day at an entertainment prepared for the purpose. BREMEN, JULY.—The number of emigrants from Germany for North America that embarked here is so great that by the end of the year they may perhaps amount to 15,000, whereas in each of the last two years the number was only about 10,000.—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 11.

HEINE, BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, beg to inform the Public, that no time is to be lest in ordering the Tickets still desired for the next Great Lottery, which will be drawn on the HOP INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday the market for new hops was regularly opened in the Borough, and the supply was abundant. Many pockets have been sold at good prices, but the merchants have not pur chased to any extent in expectation of a reduction in prices : New Kent pockets, 90s. 120 s. a 160 s. per cwt. Sussex do. 84s. 105 s. a 120 s. do. The duty is calculated as under : Kent £lOO,OOO Sussex 45,000 Worcester 12,000 Farnham... B,OOO All England. 5,000 £170,000 MAIDSTONE.—The bops seems to show well for a bright sample, but great complaints are prevalent of their weighing very lightly. In some grounds, where 1,300 bushels have usually weighed a ton, it has taken from 17 to 1,800 to turn the scale. This is attributable to the very short time in which the hops have been able to ripen, so as to produce seed. The lattar is in many instances without kernel, and evidently short of condition. Many grounds have been commenced too early, and some planters who had begun postponed their operations for a few days. As the season advances, however, there will probably be less ground of complaint on the score of weight. SUTTON VALANCE, CHART SUTTON, AND EAST SUTTON. —The hops come down of the finest quality, which has not been known so good for many years past. In some grounds they were not quite fit on commencing, which caused a few planters to leave off picking for a short time. The late warm weather has, however, assisted them much. TICEIIVEST.—The picking in Ticehurst and adjoining pa rishes has now become general, and the number of bushels confirms the planters' expectation; but it requires nearly 80 bushels to the cwt., which is attributed to the blight and the short time they have had to ripen in. WEALD OF KENT.—The hop picking will be general this wee k. We have heard but few complain of the quantity of bushels ; but several have complained of their weight ; gene rally speaking, the growers begin the worst pieces first ; therefore it may prove different when they get into the better gardens. Stissax.—The bop picking in this county has been gene rally commenced, and is proceeding with alacrity. The hops come down beyond the most sanguine expectations of the growers.—Sussex Paper. SUDDEN DEATll.—Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, a gentleman, who was observed by a policeman to be walking at a steady pace along Tottenham court-road, suddenly staggered forwards, and fell to the ground. The policeman ran to support him, but the gentleman expired nearly as soon as he was raised from the ground. In his pocket-book was found 2941. in Bank of England notes; but there were no papers on his person that could lead to a disco very of his name. FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—On Mon day afternoon a lighterman, named William Frogley, in the employ of Mr. Gammen, a coal-merchant, of \Yapping-wall, while in the act of hauling a barge ahead, to prevent it staving in a skift, it came i n contact with a coal-lighter, and Frogley was knocked overboard. He swam a few paces and then dis appeared, api was not aga i n see n. The accident happened within sight of 100 persons, who, supposing the man wo uld be enabled to swim ashore, did not offer to assist him until it was too late. Yesterday a ballast-getter, employed on the ballast-lighter near London-b r id ge , overreached himself in IU , • pulling up the staff and basket, and fell into the river. He almost instantly disappeared, within view of the passengers in the Comet steamer, then leaving Fresh-wharf, and was drowned. s :. r t `., LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1134, The splendid Ministerial Dinner given to Lords GREY and BROUGHAM by the Reformers of Edin burgh, which was graced by the presence of the rank, wealth, intelligence, and talent of the ancient kingdom of Scotland, is one of the most incontrovertible proofs which the Reform Cabinet has yet received of the popularity of their opinions, the just appreciation of their honesty, the universal respect for their zeal, and the general thankfulness which pervades the commu nity for the many salutary measures, extensive reforms and wholesale improvements, which they have effected since their accession to office. To Earl GREY this was a proud triumph, as worthy of that noble and highly venerated Statesman, as it was honourable to the patriotism of the distinguished individuals with whom it originated. The people, with that generous enthusiasm which ever marks the public conduct . of a free and intelligent community, have come forward and nobly proclaimed the grateful homage which they considered due to the heroes who had achieved the conquest of the enemies of their liberties. They were grateful to Lords - GREY. and BROUGIIAM and their colleagues for the benefits they had conferred on their country, and they have manifested their gratitude in a - way which their worst enemies—the traducers of their thoughts, the misinterpreters of their words, and the censurers of their actions—will in vain endeavour to twist into the expression of ordinary hilarity or com mon-place satisfaction. There is no mistaking the feel ing which prevails when six hundred gentlemen, all distinguished for rank, respectability, and talent, as semble together to do honour to the leaders of a Cabinet by whom the modern charter of out liberties, the purificators of all our venerable in stitutions—the R eform Bill was framed ; arid from whom it derived not being only, but vi tality, vigour, and full efficiency. It is ridiculous to suppose any other cause for the popularity of the Mi nistry ; the Whigs are only thought of, at the present moment, as the stranglers of the rotten borough in- fluence—as the purifiers of the House of Commons — and the restorers of the rights of popular representa tion. The people of the United Kingdom, all look up to them with the becoming gratitude of an enfran chised nation, and if the inhabitants of Scotland, and more especially of Edinburgh, have been the first to demonstrate their thankfulness, let it not be forgotten that they have had the earliest opportunity of giving public expression to their feelings, We are not suprised to find that Earl GREY'S speech was by no means as long as his Lordship's delighted auditory would have wished, overcome as he' must have been, by the applause which his very name called forth from hundreds of per sons who had never before the pleasure of seeing him. The venerable Statesman could hardly do more than point to the multitude by whom he was greeted, a proof of the falsehoods, which had been circulated respecting a reaction in the public mind, and to pro fess his fixed determination never to swerve from the righteous, just, and liberal policy which had raised for him trophies in the boSoms of his fellow-countrymen. But Lord BROUGHAM was more at home in the midst of such an assemblage. He knew that it was expected that he should dwell at greater length on the future policy of a Government of which he was one of the heads, and the detail into which he entered was well calcu lated to procure for him the continuance of that large portion of public confidence with which the whole kingdom has so long honoured him. In the course of his Lordship's speech, neither the Ultra-Radicals nor the Tories were forgotten—the one for their extreme haste, which uproots all in its progress, pulling up the wheat in order to effect the destruction of the tares; the other for their tenderness for all accumulated abuses, the snail-like progress with which they proceed to the era dication of untenable abuses, and the crab-facility with which they retrograde in their course whenever a principle appears in view. His Lordship's description of the Ultra-Radical march is, however, characteristic. Speaking of their impatience, he says : " We shall go on, however, in our course, heedless of the attacks of these hasty spirits ; for they come from men of much honesty, of hasty zeal, but of no reflection at all.— (Laughter.) They would travel to the object which they havo in view, but they are in such a hurry to get at the goal three minutes bef o re me , th a t th e y w ill no t wa it to see whether the linchpin is in the wheel.—( A laugh.) They would hurry, their vessel into the wished-for harbour by the nearest, and not by the regularly frequented channel ; but they do not in quire whether there is a compass on board, and so they run their vessel into the breakers.—(Cheers and laughter.) They raise a scaffold, they build a house, they rear a massive pile ; all they care for is the look and appearance of the edifice, and they do not stop to see whether there are parti tions for rooms to live in.—(Laughter.) They will not use the plummet and the line, and therefore it is possible that the first story may tumble some fine morning about their ears.---( Laughter.) I wholly respect the good intentions of these men, I acquit them entirely of all blame of that de scription, I make to them my most respectful obeisance : but when they as me to get into their carriage, I must decline to accompany them—when they ask me to sail in their vessel, I must insist on staying on shore ; when they ask me to enter into any building of theirs, I shall not only not enter, but shall also stand at a respectful distance from it, for fear it should make an experiment, which I do not wish to see tried either on their heads or mine, I mean an experiment as to the relative resistance of the two bodies.-4 Cheers and laughter.) We are inclined to believe, however general a con trary opinion may be,—and we do not speak in utter ignorance of what prevails among the great mass of the people—that the members who advocate, or rather who struggle with might and main, for the erection of crude systems on the ruins of established insti tutions, are hardly worth being honoured with so distinguished a notice. The great majority of the people including the whole of the workmen in towns where there is a manifestation of public opinion —are decidedly in favour of a gradual, but steadily advancing system of Reform, which shall so proceed as to base every improvement on a fixed and unalter able principle. The people are only opposed, in the making of changes, to the patching up and bolstering of one abuse by the aid of another, with the occult inten tion, on the part of a Government, of endeavouring to preserve both. This is what the country is in reality opposed to, and this is the real secret of the impatience manifested by all, save a few political adventurers, of any delay on the part of the Cabinet, which has called forth sentiments - of discontent and dissatisfaction. This point is thus referred to in the able and eloquent speech delivered by the Earl of DURHAM " My Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) has been pleased to give some advice, which I have no doubt he deems very sound, to some classes of persons—l know none such—who evince too strong a desire to get rid of ancient abuses, and fretful impatience in awaiting the remedies of them. Now I frankly confess that lam one of those persons who see with regret every hour which passes over the exis tence of recognized and unreformed abuses.—( Immense (cheering.) I am, however, perfectly willing to accept the cor rection of them as deliberately as our rulers, and my Noble Friend among them, can wish ; but on one condition, and on one condition alone—that every measure should be pro posed in conformity with those principles for which we all contend.—( Cheers.) I object to the compromise of opinions, not to the deliberation of what they should be.---( Cheers.) I object to the clipping, and paring, and mutilating which must inevitably follow any attempt to conciliate enemies who are not to be conciliated—(cheers)—and who thus obtain an advantage, by pointing out the inconsistencies of which you are guilty in abandoning your friends and your principles, and attribute the discontent felt on this score to the decay or dearth of liberal principles--( Cheers.) Against such policy, 1, for one, enter my protest, as pregnant with mischief—as creating, discontent where enthusiasm would otherwise exist—as ex citing vague hopes in the bosoms of our adversaries which can never be realized, and as placing weapons in the hands of those who use them to the destruction of our best interests." This is precisely the language of every honest Re former in the United Kingdom, and we trust the LORD CHANCELLOR will regard it as such. The country is not impatient—it is prepared to wait the good time of . the Government—it i s di spose d to act gener ously towards men who have so well proved themselves by their acts the friends of freedom and of the people —but it is naturally jealous of the principles upon which all institutions to be pure and permanent must be based. It will allow time for deliberation, but it knows that an eternity would not suffice to con ciliate the Tories, and the old corruptionists who live by abuses, and therefore it does not choose that they should be deferred to when its interests are at stake. This is just. It is worthy of an enlightened community not to endure wrong, in a case where to bear with it would evince not forbearance, but ignorance and pusillanimity. The LORD CHANCELLOR'S description of the re form progress of the Tories is as correct as it is laughable—and not without a flash of that burning, withering irony, for which he is so universally dreaded by his'opponents :- 4 , Those men are the most unsafe guides, for in point of fact they lead nowhere.—( Laughter.) Though they are not unfriendly to improvement, the improvement which they would accomplish is so far off, that neither their eyes, nor the eyes of their children, can ever hope to see it. Reform, indeed, is always on their lips ; but, as was once said at a meeting in this town, their verb " Reform " assumes a shape unknown to the grammarians, for it is an imperfect verb which has only got a future tense.—( Cheers and laughter. )—They say that all things ought to be done gradually and slowly ; an d to make sure of it, they move in such a way and at such a pace that even the minutest eye cannot discern that they change place at all. There is one kind of movement, however, which they do not dislike any how. They are ready to move into mishief, and to advance—back wards—.(A laugh)—and I never heard with greater surprise in my life the statement,—for I have not seen the news paper myself,—that language of the most frightful, and I may say the most incredible kind, has been used by those who call themselves the friends of order, the haters of. anarchy, the abhorrers of change, and who cry out revolution, when any bill is introduced into Parliament to correct any abuse however flagrant, and however generally recognized. These men, who seem so anxious to testify their abhorrence of change —their hatred of anarchy—and their love of order—only tes tify their lust of power and pelf—that power and that pelf which the faction has already lost in Ireland, and which its brethren in England will not be satisfied until they have made a bloodthirsty attempt to regain.—( Cheers.) The power they mean is the power of misgoverning the King's subjects for their own profit.—(Cheers.) Contrast the beginning with the end of this passage, and observe the mock solemnity with which the LORD CHANCELLOR prepares to stoop and seize the victi ms grovelling beneath him ; and the agony with which they writhe as he holds them up in their naked deformity to the scorn of the whole kingdom. But the public has nothing to learn on this sub ject. The Tories are dead, buried, and rotten as a party, for whom there exists not the hope of a resur rection. We shall early return to this most important subject. It is diverting and edifying to witness the ridiculous figure that the late Newton Conservative Dinner cuts when brought into contrast with the grand Liberal one that has just taken place in Edinburgh. In the former instance, we see a set of small provincial com moners, headed by one small Lord, huddled together in a small room in a small Lancashire village, and exhibiting a painful consciousness of the absurdity of their position, in every sentence that falls from their lips. Though they beat up for recruits in every quarter ; though stage-coaches, carriages, and rail waggons, are all put into active requisition to faci litate arrivals ; though a great Conservative Duke is implored, almost on bended knees, to turn the light of his countenance upon them—all is vain ;—few or no recruits are obtained ; no rail-waggons are needed ; no Conservative Duke thinks it worth his while to sit down to such a feast of fools. The very utmost number the Conservatives can muster is some two hundred odd I And such a pack ! They may be rivalled in St. Giles's ; but unquestionably Wapping would feel itself disgraced for ever by such a gathering. Turn we now to the Edinburgh dinner. There we find, not a few reluctant recruits dragged to the scene of festivity like a bear to the stake, but a whole kingdom pressing forward, by means of deputations, to take a share in it. From the north—from the south —from the east—from the west—the provincial ma gistracy=the men of rank and substance—the very elite of their respective districts, hurry on to Edin burgh, as to the rallying point of attraction—such as it was during the memorable visit of GEORGE IV.—and this not to pay homage to existing power, but to power whose very shadow is fast passing away. The Scottish Ministerialists know that they have nothing now to expect from Lord GREY. Their tribute of respect to him has no regard to the future, but the past. It is as disinterested as it is unanimous ; and they may say of themselves with perfect justice— " Let others hail the rising sin, We bow to that whose course is run:" The Lancashire dinner was got up on the com pulsory, the Edinburgh one on the voluntary, principle. The former was an ebullition of party spirit ; the latter, of national gratitude. We can conceive nothing more humiliating than the failure of the Conservatives at Newton, or more honourable than the triumph of the Ministers, at EdinbuSgh. The former, as a mat ter of course, will now grow as sick of the mention of the word " dinner," as ever was HENRY THE FOURTII of the name of " Mortimer." For at least six months to come, it will keep click—clicking in their ears like the tick of a death-watch. It is hard that such should be the case—that a word replete with such magic—which usually 4 ' Comes o'er the ear like the sweet south, That breathes upon a bank of violets"— should be the means of recalling such a host of humiliating associations ; but the Conservatives hay e only themselves to blame for it. They would persist in getting up a show-dinner, and are now paying the penalty of their rashness. The French papers give the following as the names o' those who are likely to form the new Spanish Ministry : Count TORENO, Finance—M. DE F. BLANCA, Foreign Department—General VALDEZ, War De partment—M. GIL DE LA CUADRA, Home Depart ment. These papers contain no other news of cor.- sequence. The following is an extract of a letter from Paris, by ti.e express of the 15th inst. ; but we do not vouch for its truth : —" An express has this moment arrived from Madrid of the 10th inst. The report of the Finance Committee has been signed as follows, who unanimously declared for the integral acknowledgement of the Cortes Bonds; five rejected all the Loans made with France ; four proposed some kind of settle ment for the latter. On the 11th inst. the discussion was to take place in the Cortez."

The Malta mail, by his Majesty's ship Spitfire, brings in formation from Patras to the 28th August, by which we learn that Greece was still in a most disturbed state, and that a re volution had taken place in the provinces of Arcadia and Mes sina, which was believed to have been brought about by the intrigues of Russia. An advantageous change had taken place in the Regency. The Bavarian troops, in their attempt to subdue the Mainotes, have suffered severely. The English fleet remained at Vourla. Gibraltar was healthy. Accounts from Corfu state that a large ship, supposed to be English, laden with 3,000 barrels of oil, was found in the waters of Navarin by a Turkish and a Greek vessel ; she was dismasted, with no person on board, and carried into Corfu. It was conjectured she was plundered by some pirates. FITE FUNDS. Although the foreign account is over, the mania of specu lation in Spanish Stock still continues. This morning, Spa nish, which left off yesterday 52+ f, opened at 53; soon after _twenty thousand was purchased at 53k; since which they have receded to 53. , It does not appear that these speculations are the event of any further information from Madrid than last received, but manoeuvres of some speculators to cause a great scarcity of the Spanish Stock. We also hear that a consider able amount of it has been sent off last night to various parts of the continent, which have been purchased by certain fo reign bankers, in expectation that it will experience a further rise. Portuguese Stock has also advanced from 8141 to 82k. The above two descriptions of Foreign Securities have been assisted also by the prices coming higher from Paris.

Nothing has been talked of here for some days but the pre parations for this "national entertainment," as it is called, and certainly, from the scale on which those preparations have been made, it in som e d egree d eserves t h e name. Th e building is a temporary one, close to the High School. The following is a brief description of it from one of the papers here :—" The structure is from the design of Mr. Hamilton ; the building is erected by Mr. Smith, architect and builder ; and the paint ing and decorations by Mr. D. R. Hay. The chairman and croupier, with their supporters, are to sit on two platforms placed at the east and west ends of the room, elevated about two feet above the floor, the whole of which is to be covered with narrow tables, running parallel from east to west. The walls are entirely covered with canvass painted of a warm co lour, presenting exactly the appearance of being plastered. The roof consists of double sloping panelling, or what is termed a double coach roof, which is admirably adapted for reflecting the voice of the speakers. The whole is supported by nume rous rows of pillars, with rich capitals. At each corner are placed the British, Scots, Edinburgh, and Glasgow arms, and above the canopy, where Earl Grey is to sit, a richly deco rated G is to be placed ; beneath an Earl's coronet, and sur rounded with laurels. The roof is to be richly ornamented, and inlaid with gold and silver, which will produce a very fine and light effect. The whole is to be lighted with the superb gas lustre from the Theatre Royal." The tickets issued far exceed the number who can be con veniently accommodated in the building, which it is said can contain only 1,500 at dinner; but it is calculated that some hundreds more may find room after dinner. The arrange ments for this purpose are made with great i mpart i a li ty . Th e company are to take their places in sections of 30, a steward being placed at the head of each sect i on . Th e annexe d ex tract from the regulations of the committee will explain how this is to be effected : " When the whole are thus arranged in sections of 30 in the area, the names of the stewards will be drawn by ballot openly from a hat, and each steward will move off with his section into the room, and will be directed at the door where to go, according to the number in the series at which his name shall be drawn. In this way there will be complete impartiality in the distribution of the places. As 1,800 white tickets have been issued, and the Pavilion can only dine 1,500, the last 10 sections, though having white tickets, must be con ducted by their respective stewards into the High School, from whence they will be admitted into the great room immediately after dinner, along with those having buff tickets. " The doors of the area will be opened at four o'clock, and no advantage can possibly be gained by being earlier, or by pressing ; for nobody will get into the room till the whole are arranged. " The gallery for the ladies will be opened at a quarter past six o'clock ; and it is requested that they will not wear bonnets. The ladies will enter by the central or principal door. Tickets for this gallery will be given out this evening at the committee-rooms between six and seven o'clock, and not after that time. " The buff tickets above mentioned are those which were applied for after the 1,800 had been issued. These do not entitle the bearers to an admission to the dining-hall till after the removal of the cloth; but dinner will be provided for them in the High School." EARL GREY'S DEPARTURE FROM OXENFORD CASTLE INTO EDINBURGH. At a very early hour, the inhabitants of Dalkeith and its neighbourhood began to collect in Dalkeith, for the purpose of meeting the noble visiter and conducting him into Edin burgh. The morning was one of the finest that could dawn, and the bustle soon began to be immense in Edinburgh and all along the line of road, through Dalkeith and to the gates of the Castle, from which Earl Grey was to start. At a little before nine o'clock the societies of weavers, ham mermen, skinners, curriers, tailors, dyers, gardeners, candle makers, and youths, having: assembled in the High School yard, Dalkeith, moved in procession, preceeded by the Dalkeith Harmonic Band, and carrying numerous flags bearing various devices and inscriptions, to meet the Noble Earl, which they did at the New Mills-bridge, within a short distance of the town. Hustings were erected in front of the Cross Keys Inn, upon which the noble Earl was to be received, and upon which a few ladies and gentle men were admitted before his Lordship's arrival. Accommo dation was also provided for the press. A handsome sofa was placed on the middle of the hustings, intended for his Lord ship. At 11 o'clock the procession entered the town. The noble Earl and Captain Grey were seated in one carriage, which was followed by another containing the Countess Grey and her daughter, Lady Georgiana. The tune which the band played was " Welcome, Royal Charley." His Lordship was also accompanied by Sir T. D. Lauder, Sir J. Dalrym ple, M. P., and several other gentlemen of distinction. Upon ascending the hustings, the Earl inquired of Mr. Somerville if they were quite safe ; of which he was assured in the affirmative. Mr. GRAY, a banker at Dalkeith, then came forward, and spoke as follows :—My Lord Grey, aware of the fatigues your Lordship has undergone since you came to this place, it cannot be deemed unworthy of that courtesy which is due to your Lordship, that before I proceed to address the few observa tions I have to make to your Lordship, I should request your Lordship to have the goodness to be seated. Earl GREY bowed, but refused to accede to the request. Mr. GRAY then continued—The resolution which was formed to invite your Lordship to visit the metropolis of Scot land, and there to become a nation's guest, did not only draw forth a response in our hearty approval, but enkindled in our minds a joyous anticipation that the day was at hand when we should have the honour of expressing in your Lordship's pre sence the high estimation in which we hold your character— (Cheers)—and the grateful sense we cherish of the mighty benefits which your Lordship, under Divine Providence, has conferred upon the kingdom.—( Loud cheers.) Your Lord ship's acceptance of that invitation heightened our joy by con firming our hope • and, now that your Lordship has actually come among us, I trust that you have already, in the gratified countenances of the thousands who have greeted you in your progress hither, read that your Lordship has secured to your self by your character, your talents, and your achievements, the nation's gratitude, affection, esteem, and veneration— (Great cheering) and these in the highest degree in which it is possible for a man and a statesman to obtain them.— (Cheers.) My Lord, it must be admitted, that to many of us the early period of your Lordship's career, is a mat ter of history, and I was about to say of tradition, for we have both read in the annals of our country, and have heard from the lips of our venerable sires, how that while your Lordship was yet a youth, you forsook the rural retreat, and sacrificed the ease of home, in order to devote yourself to the promoting and securing of our country's best interests ; and that so immediately and decidedly did your Lordship ma nifest your hatred of corruption, that even Scotsmen, who are so proverbial for their caution and nationality, selected you in the second year of your Parliamentary labours as the most able advocate of their claims for municipal reform. Also from the same sources of information we learn regarding your oft-re newed exposures of, and attacks upon, the partial and the vi tiated state of the representation of the people ; and in these exertions your Lordship earned the admiration and won the confidence of all who by honesty and intelligence were quali fied either to desire or appreciate the reform for which you then pleaded.—( Great cheering.) My Lord, many in this large as sembly remember, and all of us h ave h ear d o f, t h e ex i stence o f Lord Grenville's Administrati on , and of the place in it which you so honourably filled, and also of the part your Lordship then took in passing an Act making the traffic in the flesh and the bones, the liberty and the happiness, of our fellow-beings, a crime in the eye of the law of our country, as it had always been in the sight of our Maker.—( Immense cheering.) But, my Lord, it would seem strange indeed were I to refrain much longer from alluding to the events of our own day, and to the part you have had in accomplishing them. When your Lord ship came into office in 1830, we had no visible political exist ence; the elective franchise was then in the hands of a few, with whom we had little community of feeling, or even of in terest—( Cheers)—the freehold seemed to be considered as only ono mode of pecuniary investment; and as illustrative of the partial and capricious nature of that system which happily is now numbered among the things that were, there was ap portioned to the property and intelligence of this town and parish, one solitary freehold, the possessor of which was, and continues to be, to us, a total stranger. —( Cheers and laughter. ) My Lord, we see in the measure of reform which your Lord ship planned, and carried forward to a triumphant consumma tion, a recognition of principles which we appreciate for their own sakes, while it is chiefly in the fruits and consequences of that measure which we exult ; but as a short summary of these is contained in our address, I must deny myself the pleasure of now attempting, which is all that I could do, to enu merate them : yet, permit me to say, in reference to one of them, that the blessings of many who were ready to perish by reason of a murderous bondage which they were lying under, shall return and rest upon your Lordship's head, and upon all who aided you in abolishing slavery in our colo nies. —(Loud cheers.) My Lord, your course of action has been characterised by wisdom, integrity, and straight forwardness, and it has pleased the Almighty to second your efforts, and thereby to constitute you a benefactor to your country and your kind. My Lord, permit sue to say, that b y i the light of prophetic revelation , contained n the book which bears the signature and the seal of Heaven, we are privileged with an extensive prospect into the future state of the nations of the world ; and to produce the moral and social loveliness with which we are enchanted in this long vista, we hope that the governor of these nations has been preparing the adapta tion of Britain as an instrument, and that chiefly by the reform which he has enabled you to achieve. Entreating your Lord ship's pardon for thus presuming to task your time and patience on so important a day, I now read the address of the inhabitants of Dalkeith, intrusted to us for presentation to your Lordship, and humbly, respectfully, and affectionately solicit your Lordship's acceptance of the same.—(Loud cheers.) [Mr. Gray then read the address. A gentleman then stepped forward and read a similar address to his Lordship from the inhabitants of Musselburgh.] Earl GREY then came forward amid general acclamation, and addressed the meeting thus :—Mr. Gray and gentleman, —.lt would be little to say that I receive with the strongest emotions of satisfaction and gratitude the address which has just been read to me by Mr, Gray from this town and its vi cinity, and also that which has been presented to me by Mr. Smart from the town of Musselburgh. Mr. Gray, in opening the address, alluded to the fatigues which I experience on this occasion. Fatigue experienced on such occasions, before countenances of approbation which must be gratifying to the heart, ceases to be fatigue, and if it were ten times greater than it really is, I should cease to consider it so.—( Cheers.) To be received here by the title of a benefactor to my oountvy, as was stated by Mr. Gray, and a benefactor to Scotland too, is to receive distinction more valuable than any other which can be conceived to the heart of a public man, who under Providence has directed such faculties as he possesses, to the best of his ability and judgment to his country's service.---( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, it is not here only, but in every place in my progress from the time I entered Scotland, that I have received the same demonstra tions, let me say, of kindness and affection.—( Loud cheers. ) From the moment I crossed the border till I arrived un der the roof of your excellent representative, Sir John Dal rymple—( Cheers)—the same expressions of approbation have universally greeted me.. But I cannot Acme my excellent host without claiming to say, with your permission, that he has done honour to your choice by the manner in which he has exercised the important duties committed to him by the free_ exercise of your privileges.—( Loud cheers.) He was thatoneof the most efficient and active supporters of reform during memorable struggle which at lasted ended in complete success, and he has entitled himself to the gratitude of his c ountry by the manner in which he has exercised that privilege which you have conferred upon him by sending him to represent youlo Parliament. In the discharge of his duties he has been dis tinguished, by his honest, steady, effective support of eve ry e measure which tended to secure the liberties and to imp i r a the interests of his country.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, it i 8 satisfaction and pleasure to me to boar this testimony to thets conduct of my hon. friend, and I am sure that the sentiments which I have expressed on the subject will be responded to_ h e ! , every man who bears me. Gentlemen, I have a long day h en fore me, and it is not easy to find varied forms of expessire_ to return thanks for the repeated honours which I have .o , ceived. I beg you, however, to be assured, that those , 111 have been conferred on me in this town are not those can not I least estimate.—(Loud cheering.)

Gentlemen, it was my go°c 11°rtiConi as successor to Mr. Fox, to propose to the House oi mons, as has been stated by Mr. Gray, a bill for the abohls of the slave trade.

The Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgi.',4le sented themselves in their robes of office before the 'tiship Earl ; and the Lord Provost, in addressing his e lf f rom hoped that he should be excused in expressing bin' he bad notes, in consequence of the agitated state into which . 11 13 0 been thrown by the splendid effect produced by usliellisiorael Lordship into the city of Edinburgh.
