- 1 ' FRANCE. FOREIGN-INTELLIGENCE. ywing to an unfortunate accident at the moment o f g. ins to press yesterday, we were unable, in our first edition, to furnish the following important item t; of foreign intelligence : NAPLES. TI ie Universal Gazette of Leipsic states that in addi;ion to the letter of the Czar to the King of Napl.es, recommending him to yield to the wishes of the Western Powers, Baron Kisseleff, the Rus sian Ambassador at Rome, has been charged to call ihe attention of the Neapolitan Government to a e consequences of persisting iu its present course of conduct. The Paris correspondent of the Emancipation of Brussels sa ys :—" It i s no t b y any means certain that Baron Brenier is to leave Naples immediately for France. I have reason to be lieve that the French Minister at Naples, in informing King Ferdinand of the resolutions of the French Government, and in announcing the necessity in which he is placed, in consequence of the orders transmitted to him, to leave his post, has accorded some days' reflection to the Neapoli tan Government. That is the course generally pursued on such occasions ; as a minister accre dited to a foreign court does not break off all intercourse abruptly, unless very exceptional cir cumstances, such as do not exist in this case, as far as I can learn, should have arisen. Besides, we have already had such proofs of patience and good feeling that it is not probable that the Wes tern Powers would approve of any precipitation. It is not therefore too much to say that not only Baron Brenier liar not yet left Naples, but that he has allowed King Ferdinand time to reflect on the consequences of such a departure." On the other hand, the following letter from Vienna, in the cologne Gazette, seems to imply that nothing will induce the King to give way. It says : scKing Ferdinand said to General Martini, the Austrian ambassador, at the audience which that diplomatist had of his Majesty, that be did not recognise the competency of the Congress of Paris in she Neapolitan question, and that he opposed on principle the introduc*ion of this question into the deliberations of the Congress. This declara tiara is authentic. The policy followed by the King of Naples causes much annoyance to our Cabinet. Austria has succeeded in obtaining from France that the Neapolitan question should be solved by the Congress, and has not despaired of converting England to that idea. The consent of the King of Naples was never doubted, and now he not only refuses to yield, but goes further, and refuses to refer the matter to the Congress." Lastly, a letter from Naples of the 10th, in the Austrian Gazette, says :—" On hearing that France and England had recalled their ambas sadors, the Council of Ministers assembled. It is affirmed that the King expressed his regret at the decision come to by the Western Powers, but that for his part he could not, and would not, give way. Nevertheless, in order to ex press the consideration of the King for the Em peror Napoleon and Queen Victoria, and to prevent the supposition that he desired a diplo matic rupture with the Western Powers, it was decided in the Council of Ministers that the Neapolitan ambassadors at Paris and London should not be recalled. On the contrary, an order was sent to them to keep up continued diplomatic relations with those Governments, and not to quit their posts, unless their passports were sent to them." A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, says :—" In the event of a vessel of war being sent to Naples to fetch away M. Brenier (but which is not yet decided on); the Duchayla is mentioned as being intended for that service. The Bavarian Minister, it is said, will be charged with the protection of the French and English residents after the departure of their respective legations. No one, on the part of France, will remain at Naples but M. Soulango•Bhdin, the Consul." PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A Paris letter in the 'lndependance of Brussels, in speaking of the Imperial fetes at Compiegne, says :—" The following is a sketch of the ceremo nial. The guests on their arrival are conducted to their apartments by the Chamberlains, and after having changed their travelling costume are pre sented to the Emperor and Impress before dinner. The dress of the gentlemen, a frock coat in the morning, and a dress coat and white neckcloth in the evening. I do not speak o4hose who take part in the hunting, who wear a waken cloth coat in the morning, and one of green velvet in the evening, with silk stockings coming over the knee, as in the time of Louis XIV. The ladies also have two dif ferent official toilettes each day, and, as a matter of course, never appear twice in the same dress. At Compiegne each guest has only one room ; at Fontainebleau, where there is more space, each apartment will have a salon. Each lady is per mitted to keep a femme-de-chambre with her ; all the other servants are placed together. The guests who go on horseback bring their own horses with them. The Emperor and. Empress reserve to them selves, between the reception of each series of visi tors, a day or two of privacy and. repose." The Jioniteur contains a decree making four pro motions to the rank of commander in the Legion. of Honour, five to that of officer, and 20 nomi nations to that of knight, among officera in diffe rent branches of the army. _ The Moniteur publishes the additional convention of extradition concluded between France and 13el gium, promulgated a few days back by the _lionitcur of Brussels. _ _ _ '~ The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial," says a letter from Coinpigtie, in the Moniteur, "continuo to be the objects of the greatest enthusiasm in this place. The Emperor on Monday reviewed the Horse Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard. The six squadrons of this regi ment were drawn up in line in the Avenue des Beaux-Monts. After minutely inspactin , this fine regiment, his Mijesty di s t r ib u t e d several' crosses cf the Lcoion of Honour and military medals, after which the regiolent filed off before him, amidst loud cries of Vi i'El liner() r vivo l'lmperatrice ! vivo le Prince-Imperial !' The Empress was on horseback near the Emperor during the whole of the review. The persons invited to the palace wore arriving all Monday morning. During the last two years the preoccupations of the war have prevented their Majesties from visiting the Imperial residences, at which they like to collect together for a few weeks the representatives of the foreign powers, the great personages of the country, and foreigners of distinction." The Madrid Gazet te of the 18th contains a series of royal decrees which make nominations o f cap functionaries • tains general and oth er f u important of these appointments , the more m entioned by telegraph. The have already been Gazette gives an account of the reception by the Queen of thet cf General • Count - do Bekendorff, aide-de camp of Russia, "c har g ed, " say s the officia journal l • peror " to present to her Majesty two letters i; ' from Sovereign—one containing the formal notification of the ac cession to the throne of the Alexander IL, the o ther bein g a private letterain Emperor which H.I.M. makes known to our august in ve reircn the friendly o b j ect of the g e neral's mission, so manifests to her Maj est y in the mist expressive i terms' the sentiment of cordial s y m p ath y which he feels for Spain, and testifies the desire that the friendly relations between the two Courts shall b-- come closer." Having been introduced to th e Q ueen's presence with the usual ceremony, the General spoke as follows : T" he Emperor, my master, in honourin g me with the mis s ion to announce to your Ma j est y his accession to the throne, has charged me to express the wishes which he takes pleasure in forming for the prosperity and glory of your reign. These sentiments have . been inspired in my a ugust sove reign by the profound souvenirs he retains of the ancient relationslh between the Spanish monarchy and Russia.if the commission confided to esteem myself happy should be for the two Courts a new pledge - to me of the good intelligence which is so much in harmony with the interests of the two nations, that have been constantly united by sentiments of hi g h and reciprocal esteem. With this conviction I ha ve th e honour to place in your Majesty's hands the letters which th e Emperor has I deigned to confide to me. n fulfilling this mission I sh al l I in no respoct doubt that faithfully act up to his wishes, if I have the ha p piness to obtain the augus t suffrage of your Majesty ' the Queen replied : "Monsieur le General,—l receive wi • th profound satisfaction the letters which' the Emperor of all the ,Ruasias has confided to y o u f orme. y nonce at my Court to announce to me the ace"- our pre don to the throne of a monarch so enlightened is an, evident and 'flattering proof that the sentiments of friendship which at another epoch so closely unite&the Courts of R •and Russia Spain are still strong in the Emperor's heart. My heart enter tains the same sentiments; and you may assure your august Sovereign that my sincere will and I the frank and loyal conduct of my Government will always respond to the testimony of friendship which the Emperor has given me, and I take plea sure in considering the mission with which you are charged as a happy presage that the future will draw closer by new ties of cordial harmony the mutual esteem with which the two nations have always fraternised. It is also very agreeable to me, General, to see such a friendly mission con fided to such a person as you, who have had op portunities of manifesting in the most striking manner the noblest qualities and the most tried fidelity to the cause of your Sovereign." The Gazettc, in giving an account of the ac conchement of the Duchess de Montpensier, says that the Sicilian ambassador, the Marquis de Riario Sforza, was deputed by the diplomatic body to re present them on the occasion, but the event having taken place sooner than had been expected (as already stated) he was not present. The Queen has given to the newly-born infanta the cordon of the order of Noble Ladies of Maria Louisa. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVE ING, OCTOBER 24, 1856 rough salt-water look and gestures, in such marked con trast to all the previous orators, gave rise to considerable aughter and applaue, and insured for the representa- ' tive of Britain's favourito defenders a most flattering re- !eption. His address was in perfect Iteepirg with the in troduction. He said—May it please your Excellency, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, all round, we feel highly honoured for the kindness you have bestowed upon us in inviting us to this grand banquet in acknowledgment of iur services is the Crimea ; and should any foreign na tion ever again be at war with Great Britain they will and the " wooden walls of Old England" and the tars chat man them able to hold their rights—(cheers)—and that i❑ them lies the best safety and the noblest means •f defence of the country. (Cheers.) We are ready to tight our battles over again to prevent any foe or Granger invading our coasts, and for the protection of our rights and liberties, and all that we love. May the British flag fly triumphantly over every sea as it has always done. , The Queen and the navy for ever. (Great ;hearing, during which the gallant tar retired from his uspicuons position. waving one of the miniature Union Sacks taken from off the dinner tables.) HENRY FIDO, sergeant of the Royal Marines, her Ma jesty's shin La Hogue, said—Most honourable ladies tnd gentlemen—With the kind permission of my com rades, I stand before you to return thanks—most sin cere and hearty thanks—for the kindness shown to us on this present occasion, at this banquet, given inihonour )f those who served in the late war. Should we be re quired again on any other occasion, we are willing and ready to sacrifice our lives for our Queen and country. (Loud cheering.) Lord SEATON proposed the health of the Lord Mayor. Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE, in proposing the next " The Memory of the Fallen," dwelt upon the pride it gave him to participate in a demonstration which acknowledged the services which had been rendered by lie army of the Crimea in upholding the honour of the country; Mr. A. C. O'DWYER proposed the toast of the distin guished ladies who nobly ministered to the sick and Nounded in the Crimea. This toast was received with loud and continued cheers. Sergeant HOLLOWAY, of the 33d Regiment, responded to the toast. He had been permitted, he said, to express the appreciation of the army of the great services ren dered to them by the ladies whose health had been pro posed by Mr. O'Dwyer. (Cheers.) He had been laid up in Scutari hospital five months under the superintendence of Miss Nightingale and the good Sisters of Mercy. When he recovered from his wounds he was made orderly man at the hospital, in consequence of which he was enabled to testify to the attention which those ladies paid to the wounded soldiers. When he was called upon at the different hours of the night to parade the hospital he found Miss Nightingale always in attendance, with a sup of arrowroot in her hand, ministering to.the wants of the wounded, or soothing the last moments of the .lying soldier. When he was called on to render what service he could in the hospital, he saw that the soldiers were treated and attended as soldiers ought to be treated and attended, and he knew full well, from experience and observation, the great blessing conferred on the sick and wounded troops by the soothing attendance of Miss Nightingale and the Sisters of our Lady of Mercy. They all knew that every soldier was not an orator, although many great soldiers were also distinguished orators ; tor], therefore, he trusted that the simple words he used in expressing his feelings on the occasion would pass without criticism. (Applause.) He would conclude by saying, when we are in the field may we never know the want of a Nightingale. (Cheers.) His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in proposing the next toast, " The Committee," said—The time has come to close these happy proceedings. We ought not to break up without offering our thanks to those woo have contributed to the splendid success, the noblemen and gentlemen who have served upon the committee. (Loud cheering.) Many of you must be well aware how import ant a thing it is to have a committee. (Hear.) Well, I trust that there has been no stint of your rations today. (Cheers and laughter.) I doubt not you have heard a i generous citizen of Dublin supplied the wine at his own cost ; and those who saw this place in which we are now assembled ten days since, will know how much has been. done to effect so splendid a transformation. (Cheers.) So altogether I hope when in days to come it shall be men tioned how our men fought in the Crimea, it will be added how they feasted in Dublin. (Cheers.) I think, therefore, we are bound to express our gratitude to those *hose spirit—whose good taste and harmony, have done so much to contribute to the success of this Irish gather. ing. (Cheers.) I give you, then, our thanks to the com mittee, backed with three more Irish cheers. (Cheers.) Mr. P. o'l3lllw, M.P., returned thanks, and in the delivery of his discourse the hon. and learned gentleman was loudly cheered. The wtiole assemblage then sang in chorus "God save the Queen." The proceedings terminated shortly after 4 o'clock, when the men having left the hall with the utmost regu larity were mustered outside, and marched, amidst the cheers of the people, to their respective destinations, the ;mat majority of the troops that had arrived from the country proceeding to the several railway stations to re turn to their quarters. The demeanour of the men, without being in the slightest degree constrained, was excellent, and thousands of anecdotes and recognitions of old friendships and meetings at the seat of war, passed ' between them during the day. They all appeared well satisfied with the way in which they were received and entertained, and the whole scene was one of orderly good humour and happiness all through. Of the 3,000 troops of the line (all wearing Crimean medals) 1,500 were from the regiments stationed in Dub lin, and I,ooo.from those on the Curragh. The remainder were front various stations throughout the country. The regiments represented from the Curragh were the 18th Royal Irish, the 63i, 14th, 23th, 38th, 48th, 57th, and 90th. There wore 115 men of the Royal Artillery, from Dublin, Ballincollig, and Cbarleville ; 3 men of the 2d Dragoon Guards. The regiment was not in the Crimea, and these men were volunteers. One man from the Ist Dragoon Guards, and 193 men of the 17th Lancers. The regiment is 402 strong. 36 men from the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which numbers 74 medals. 333 men of the 4th, which numbers 672 medals. 243 men of the 33,1, which comprises 494 medals. One man, a volunteer from the 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles. 342 men of the 77th; which numbers 696 medals. 228 men of the 95th, which has 462 medals. There were 500 medal men from out stations. There were 540 pensioners, constabulary, police, and marines. From the depot of the 18th Regiment, at Birr, came 19 men. From the depot of the 63d, at Birr, came 19 men. Four officers and 19 men each came from the depots at Fermoy, of the 14th, 28th, 38th, 48th, 57th, and 95th. From the depots of the 13th, 47th, and 88th Regiments at Templemore, came two officers and 10 men of each regiment. One officer and 55 men came from the 55th at Kilkenny ; one officer and 25 men of the 13th Light Dragoons came from Cahir. From the depots at Limerick of the 9th, 17th, and 39th, came two officeri and 19 men each. The Bth Hussars sent from Dundalk one officer and 25 men. From the depots of the 21st and 31 Regiments at Belfast, one officer and 19 men from each regiment. One officer and 19 men from the depot of the 46th at Enniskillen ; one officer and 19 men from the depots of each of the 62d and 68th at Niellingar. From the Curragh the following were the proportions :-Ist Foot, 207 ; 38th Regiment, 204 men; 56th Regiment., 177 men ; 18th Royal Irish, 144 ; 51st, tire men ; 94th Regiment, 17 men ; Ist Royal Dragoons 100 men ; 2d, or the Greys, 126 men. Th e following are the regiments whose depots in this country sent c m• tingents :-63,1, 14th, 28th, 48th, 57th, 50th, 12th, 47th 88th, 9th, 17th, 39th, 21st, 81, 46. b, 62 , i, and 63th : rhe complicated arrangements for the sending up of the troops were all ably carried out under the Deputy- Adjutant gaartermaster-General Colonel M'Kenzie, who discharged his duties ably, successfully, and with a courtesy that did him honour as an officer. The dishes consisted of 250 hams, 230 legs of mutton, 500 meat-pies, 100 venison-pasties, 100 rice-puddings, 200 plum-puddings, 200 turkeys and geese, 250 pieces of beef, weighing in all upwards of 3,000 lbs. ; three tons of potatoes, 2,000 loaves, 100 capons and chickens, and six ox-tongues. The potatoes and the plum pudding were brought iu hot ; the rest of the dinner was cold. To each man was supplied a quart of porter and a pint of the choice port-wine given by Mr. Brennen, concerning the quality of which it may be stated that for the due appreciation of it the palate of a connoisseur would almost be required. There were 8,000 plates, 5,000 knives and forks, 5,000 table spoons, 5,000 dessert spoons, 100 dozen of carving knives and forks, and a proportionate supply of mustard, salt, and pepper stands. EXAMINATIONS OF THE scar Err OF ARTS. . The Council of the Society of Arts, in further de veloping the system of examinations which they have established, and in enlarging its sphere of action so as to include commercial and trade schools, desire to state their views in thus extending its principle. The Universities, the Inns of Coratt, the Military and Naval Colleges, the East India Company, the Colleges of Physicians, Surgeons, and Apothecaries, the various government boards, the Com mittee of Privy Council on Education, all provide exami nations of various degrees of strictness for candidates who desire to obtain degrees, certificates, or employment. There is, however, a considerable number of persons, members of Mechanics' Institutions, schools, and other bodies in union with this society, with regard to whom little or no provi sion of this kind is made for testing the attainments of those who would wish to procure private employment on the ground of merit, or to obtain a formal judgment pro nounced upon their acquirements by a competent tribunal. The council also desire to secure sympathetic study and punctnality,of attendance in the several classes of the in stitutions in union with the society. On the recommendation of the board of examiners they 'have passed the following minute : " That no person shall be eligible for examination who shall not have been for six months at least previous to the day of examination a member of a mechanics' institution, school, or other body in union with this society. " That no graduate or undergraduate of any university of the United Kingdom, no student of any of tho learned pro fessions, no certificated schoolmaster or pupil teacher, shall be eligible for examination by the society's examiners. That no person under 15 years of age shall be admitted to examination. " That every candidate shall undergo a previous examina tion in writing from dictation, and correcting faulty Eng lish composition to teat the handwriting, spelling, and know• ledge of tngliah grammar possessed by each candidate. " That no candidate shall be examined in more than three subjects." The council have the pleasure to announce that Mr. henry Johnson, of 39, Crutohed-friars, has placed tho sum of 90/. at their disposal, in such a manner as may best pro- mote the success of the botzietea examination. „,-- TURKEY. We have received the Constantinople journals and letters to the 13th, brought by the Sinai. The question of the National Bank still remains unsettled. Several attempts have been made to !effect an arrangement among the companies who intend to tender for the privilege, but all had turned out failures. Persons well versed in financial affairs express doubts as to whether the Porte will see offers sent in which it can accept, and fears are entertained that the mo netary crisis which prevails in Europe may cause the agents at Constantinople to receive counter orders from their principals. In addi tion to the difficulties of the financial question, great anxiety is felt at seeing the English squa dron in the Bosphorus almost daily receiving rein forcements. Accounts reached Constantinople just as the packet left, of the death of General Guyon. The general, who was of Irish extraction, signa lised himself in the Hungarian army in 1848; and afterwards, under the name of Lourchid Pacha, took part in the campaign of Anatolia. His death is said to have been caused by cholera. Accounts from Bucharest state that the firman for convoking the divans was known in that city and had pro duced an unfavourable effect. Prince A. Ghika, feeling the necessity of modifying his ministry, had offered the portfolio of the interior to M. Cretzou lesco, who refused it. Stirbey was said to be im peding all the acts of the government by his in trigues. The Caimakan has ordered judicial pro ceedings to be commenced against three influential Boyards. EGYPT. The contingent of the Egyptian army has just been definitively fixed for the peace footing at 20,000 men. The infantry is composed of four regiments of 8,000 men each, and a battalion of riflemen of 1,000 men, armed with the, most re cently-invented arms. These troops are excellent, and it is known that they distinguished themselves in the campaign of the Danube. They are organ ised and managed in the French method, and with admirable regularity. The Viceroy, by a recent resolution which merits remark, has re-established in his army the turban, the large trousers, and a costume which, in its ensemble, much resembles that of the old Mamelukes. The Nord of Brussels publishes the text of the memorandum addressed by the Prince of Monte negro to all the cabinets of Europe. This docu ment contains nothing more than what was sum marily stated some time ago, viz., that Montenegro demands :-1. The recognition of the independence of the principality in a diplomatic form. 2. The extension of its frontiers on the side of Herzgowine and Albania. 3. The precise demarcation of the frontiers on the Turkish side, as it has been effected on the Austrian side. 4. The annexation of Anti van to Montenegro. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 14th says : " I have just board, but without detail, that the Emperor was in great danger the day before yes terday at Cronstadt in consequence of a collision. During a review, at which his Majesty was present, of a small squadron which is to cruise in the North Sea, a brig, from some mismanagement, ran into the Imperial steamer with considerable violence. Several persons of the Emperor's suite who were standing close to him on the deck of the vessel, and some of the crew, were injured by the concussion." The " Correspondance Antrichienne" defends the occupation of the Principalities against the French journals ; it declares the occupation 'absolutely necessary, until the important question of the Bes sarabian frontier is setticd. It affirms that Eng laud (?), the Porte, and Austria are all of opinion that the evacuation should be delayed till that object shall bo attained. The " Bourse GAzette" of Berlin states that all the Swiss officers in the Neapolitan service who are now in Switzerland on leave of absence have re ceived orders to immediately join their regiments. The General Diet of Sweden was opened at Stockholm on the 15th, with the usual ceremonial. The King has appointed to the post of Mirshal of the Kingdom Count de Henning de Hamilton, who occupied the same position in the preceding session. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 22. The United States' mail steam-ship Biltic, Com stock, commander, has arrived from New York with dates to the 11th instant. She has brought 493,109 dollars specie on freight. Dr. Kane, the Arctic discoverer, has arrived in the Baltic. In some of the States the municipal elections had taken place. In Connecticut Fremont had gained 23 towns, and the Democrats 14. Another account says :—" The returns of the towns' elections iu Connecticut show that out of 126 towns we have heard from, 73 have gone to Fremont, 48 for Buchanan, and five divided." In the Southern State of Florida the Buchanan party had been equally beaten. In &trait Rosa county the Ameri can party had gained the majority, but the extent of it was not known. At B dtimore, Mtryland, during the election for Mayor, several riots had occurred, and the streets were covered .with blood. In the evening the op position parties had come into collision, and male use of their firearms, by which four persons were killed, and upwards of 50 wounded. Several per sonal rencontres had also taken place on the 10th instant, in one of which a man had been shot. President Pierce had embarked at Portsmouth for Washington. The duel which had been arranged between Mr. Pryor, or the Richmond Inquirer, and the son of the Hon. Mr. Botts, was prevented by the police appearing and arresting all parties. - Anemias from Galveston to the 27th ult, state that Captain Onkes, with a detachment of the 2d CAvalry and Ist Artillery, had succeeded in reach ing the month of the Rio Pecos, and driving tho hostile Indians across the river into Mexico. The Rio Pecos is a point never before reached by any troops or surveying parties, and has hitherto been considered inaccessible. A letter to the Democrat, dated Lawrence, 2d inst., says that a convention will be held at Tope kan on the 13th inst., for th© purpose of forming a Republican electoral ticket, with a view of ascer taining the strength of the parties if Kansas should be admitted as a State. In December the electoth thus chosen will ask seats in the Electoral College. The Pro-slavery party, it is expected, will nomi nate a Filhnore and Buchanan electoral ticket. In the New York money-market an active de !nand prevail e d, especially fur money on call at 7 per cent . , and for first-class 60 and 93 days' mer cantile paper at Bto 8i per cent.

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, attended by a brilliant staff, arrived at a quarter to 1 o'clock, and, amidst enthusiastic applause, was conducted to his seat on the dais. The Lord Mayor took the chair, having to his right the Lord Lieutenant, the Commander of the Forces, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Dunally, Adrni ral Chads, and a number of superior officers who had come in charge of detachments. On the left sat the Lor i Charcellor, Lord Vaux of Harrowden, Lord Gough, the R ght Hon. C. Herman, General Sir J. Chatterton, Col. Gordon Higgins, Mr. D-irga►n, Sir T. O'Brien, M.P., Col. Larcom, Under-Secret'ary, Alderman George Roe, LL.D., and a number of officers wearing the Cri• mea❑ medal. Ample justice having been done to the profusion of good tare provided by the committee, and grace having been said by the Lord Mayor, Toe LORD MAYOR ruse and said—l beg to propose the health of her Majesty the Qieen, a toast which, I am sure no man in this kingdom would refuse to drink, mucl, less the military, for whom her Majesty has at all times ovinced such kindness, care, and love. (Loud cheers.) The toast was responded to with the greatest enthu siasm. The LORD MAYOR again rose. He had next the honour of proposing " the health of the Lord Lieutenant, and prosperity to Ireland." There was not a man in this country to whom the virtues of the nobleman who repre senud her Majesty in Ireland were not known, and so long as he continued to preside over its fortunes it could not hut prosper. (Loud cheers.) His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, on rising to respond to the toast, was received wits such deafening cheers from all parts of the hall that several minutes elaps'd before he was enabled to commence his address. At length, comparative silence having been obtained, Excellency proceeded with his speech, but was only able to make himself heard by raising his voice to the highest possible pitch. He said—Soldiers of the Crimea, my wish now is not to speak long, but loud. I wish that every man I see before me could hear me say how proud I feel to be one of them this day. In the place I fill I have a right to tell you in the name of the good Queen I serve that her fine troops are welcome. (Cheers.) I have the right to tell you in the name of the Irish people, that they love brave men—that they know that you, one and all, have fought, and toiled, and bled, and would have died at your posts ; and so they have wished this day to fill your cups to the brim, and to give you the fat of the land. (Cheers.) Not for the worth of the thing, not for the sake of gorging you with food, not for the stir of one short hour, but to show you and those who will come after you, and who some day will march under the same flags, that your countrymen, and countrywomen too, all wish to thank you for what you have done, and show you that they remember you still in peace, when the din of war is over, and that they will toast you at their feasts and bless you in their prayers. (Cheers.) We are thrown upon Irish ground, and Ireland has a right to give a welcome to heroes, because she has sent forth many to every grade in your ranks. (Cheers.) But Irish hospitality is not stinted to her own children, as it was not asked, when the cheer arose loudest in your charge, whether it had most of the English, Scotch, or Irish accent—as it was not asked, when the red blood flowed in the field or in the trench, whether the warm tide gushed from English, Scotch, or Irish veins—and here to-day you are seated side by side at the same board, and you need no passport but the bright medal which glows upon your manly breasts, (Loud cheers.) Itis in deed a deep cause of thankfulness to see you here thus ; you, who have breasted the deep slopes of the Alma— yon, who have dashed along the fatal pass of Balaklava —you, who have held the blood-red heights of Inkerman —you, who have survived the midnight trench, the thundering rampart, and the deadly hospital. (Cheers.) It is a matter of deep gratitude to see you thus under a roof of peace, and before a board of plen , y. (Cheers.) I know well, my friends, that your strength and your blood would be again given to your country if your country should require them of you. But I humbly trust that it will be so ordered that those faces I now see lighted up with such an honest glow, will never again be darkened by a frown upon an enemy—(cheers)—but may ever beam with good will towards your fellow-men, and gratitude to your God. I have now only to add that in my belief neither a Lord Lieutenant nor any other person ever had his health drank by such a body of men; and I have only now to say, which I do from my very heart, to ono and all of you, may God bless you. (Loud and deafening cheers, amidst which his Excellency resumed his seat.) Lord GOUGH then rose amidst tremendous cheering, the entire assembly standing, and said—My Lord Mayor, your Excellency, my lords and gentlemen, and, I will add, one form more dear from early associations, brothel soldiers. (Loud cheers.) I feel the present one of the happiest moments of a long life of military vicissitudes. (Cheers ) To be associated with my countrymen in this public demonstration of a nation's gratitude for military deeds well deserves a nation's praise and best feelings. (Cheers.) I see before me a brilliant display of those brave troops— a deputation, in some measure, from those quartered in Ireland, who have so nobly fulfilled their duty to their Sovereign and to their country in the field of battle, and who, I am well convinced that iu times of peace, gained by their indomitable gallantry, will equally act a soldier's part in upholding the laws of their coun try. I have now to propose to you the health of our gal lant allies, who so gloriously participated in all our dis tresses and in all our glories. (Cheers.) It is known to you, brother soldiers, the noble part taken in the late campaign by that great monarch now happily presiding over the destinies of France ; how nobly he has supported the British Government—how nobly his armies acted in conjunction with British soldiers—(cheers)—how happily by their united energies they brought a war, fearful almost to extermination, to a happy peace. (Cheers.) We feel a debt of gratitude also to that chivalrous mo. narch who, situated in the midst of governments either lukewarm or fearful to throw themselves into the strug gle, sent his soldiers, few in numbers, but great in disci pline and courage, to support us in the fight. The Turkish troops had nut opportunity of actin.. with our brave fellows—(hear)--but they did their duty when they were called upon both nobly and effectually— (cheers)--and the defence of Silistria, and that of Kars ca' never be blotted oat. (Great cheering.) Having no w fulfilled my duty of addressing you, I shll be happy to fulfil that which I am placed here to perform by propos ing the health of the Emperor of the French and our noble Allies, who so well supported us in the great cause which we are met this day to commemorate. The toast was drunk with all the honours. Air— " Partant pour la Syrie." The French Consul, M. DE BURORAFF, who was re ceived with loud applause, then rose and said-e-The gallant general has just spoken to you in such terms of our alliance and of the hearty feeling of the British, Sardinian, and French army, that I should only have said a few words to return thanks, if your cheers had not brought to us the remembrance of your exertions, of your pains, of your joys, of your victories in the Crimea. You hea.r.i them, officers and soldiers of the 20th and 33'1 regiments, when mastering yourselves the Russian batteries. At Alma you saw the Zouaves crowning the heights on your left side ; your Lig , t Brigade, you recollect them, when the Cbasseure cl'Afrique, your admiring brothers in arms, came after your heroic charge at Balaklava. (Cheers ) Guard , , these cheers are still in your memory, for they are coupled with y , nr victory at Inkerman ; and you, Royal Irish, you will not forget that after you had housed yourselves in Sebastopol, they hailed your happy tut unwilling return. (Loud cheers ) Those events are living in our hearts, but you must not believe dist ws will forget those labours which did not shine -0 brilliantly, but which were not less glorious. We remember well your weary watching nights, your fighti, steel to steel, hand to hand, when you could not know friends from foes; your suffering on the sick bed, and your constancy in enduring the greatest privations.. It was yous high sense of discipline which made you master such hardships. Too many are missing to-day, and it we give our regrets to those who are no more, let me, as a Frenchman, join my hearty welcome to the welcome of Ireland to the army of Sebastopol. (Loud cheers.) S.rjeant BRUCE, of the Royal Artillery, returned thanks. He was very indistinctly heard. He said his fellow-soldiers and himself would always be prepared to defend the weak iagainst the strong, when the cause of right demanded it. The battles of the Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman had testifial as to the manner ire which the Artillery did their duty ; and the blood-stained walls of Sebastopol testified as to the manner in which the soldiers united with their brother blue jackets of the Naval Brigade. If it should please God to call on them once more, they should be ready and willing to serve their Queen and their country. (Cheers.) Serjeant-Major WOODEN, 17th Lancers, returned thanks for the cavalry. He said—May it please your Excellency, my Lord Mayor, and gentlemen, I rise on behalf of those present here to return thanks to you for the entertainment which you have so liberally provided for us this day, and also for the opinion you have els pressel upon the army in general, and more especially upon those who were fortunate enough to form part of the Crimean army. We little thought at one time ever to see such a festive scene as this. We have gone through much clang* r, both from sword and sickness, but we have been mercifully spared, and no soldier can say that his countrymen have forgotten the hardships he had to con tend with. Is it not shown to us this day how the citizens of Dublin and people of Ireland remember our services ? A rid no country could have shown more anxiety for her soldiers, or done more for them, than the people of Bri tain did for the soldiers during the Crimean campaign. Comrades, there is no occasion for me to say how we all appreciate this good feeling on the part of the people of Ireland ; but kt me say this, that should oxr country re quire our service aga:a, we will do as we have done be- Lire, and through hardships and everything else we will do our duty cheerfully and with ,a good heart. Again I wish to thank you all for your kindness, ail the good feeling you have shown towards us. Quartermaster-Sergeant War. LEFoNa, of the 77th Re. giment, spoke as follows for the infantry—Sons of Mars, I solicit your attention. Inhabitants of this beautiful isle —the Emerald Isle, commonly called " Old Ireland"— you are worthy of our thanks for the kind manner iu which you have received-us and attended to us this day. That attention and that kindness will animate the rising generation—that is, our children—when we are no more. When their country requires their services, they will fly to arms to maintain the name of Old England—and show that she never shall be conquered, nor these who assist her. (Cheers.) They will to arms to conquer or die. JOHN POULTON, boatswain's mate of the La Hogue, returned thanks on behalf of the navy, ascending for that purpose, with singular expertness, to the head table, "and ❑ot satisfied with the ordinary trumpet call by which the attention of the guests was demanded, enforced si lence after his own fashion by, sounding the shrill pipe I with whici, in virtue of his office, he was invested. This trnigular and wholly unexpected act, combined with the LA PV INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 23. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn,) IN RE W. J. ROBSON.-THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS. This was the first meeting, under the bankruptcy of W. J. Robson, the party who stands charged with th e extensive frauds iu connection with the shares of the Crystal Palace Company. He is destribed as an anti. mony smelter, &c., of thwling-green Mews, Kennington Oval. _ . _ _ The court was crowded with parties taking an inte rest in the case. Robson was brought up in custody, but was not brought into court, the proceedings being purely formal: It was stated in the course of the proceedings that Mr. E. T. Smith, of Drury-lane, who had taken posses sion of the bankrupt's property at Kilburn-lodge, and sold it immediately on his absconding, had yesterday handed over the proceeds., 1,1351., io Mr. Johnson, the official assignee. It appeared that Mr. Smith had been induced to interfere in the matter in consequence of a preszing application from Robson, written en the night before he abscmded, and which was in the following terms : " My dear Smith,—You once said that if I were in trouble you would save me. I am in that trouble. lam lost unless you aid me. Come to we directly.—Yours, " W. J. RossoN." It appears that the police were in error in supposing that Robson was concealed for any time in London. It is now stated that he left by the boat for thulogne on the morning after the discovery of the frauds, his wife and sister following.. Not above a dozen proofs of debt were male, and those chiefly for trifling sums, amounting in the aggre gate only to 2001. or 3001. Mr. Clements, stockbroker, of Bank buildings, was chosen trade assignee. A private meeting was held on the same day, for the examination of the bankrupt and other witnesses, but the particulars did not transpire. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Under-Sheriff.) ROUNTREE V. HAMES.-CHRISTMAS GEESE. This action was brought to recover damages under the following circumstances. The plaintiff is the landlord of the Salmon and Compasses, Penton-street, and he wrote to the defendant, who lives at Spalding, some time be fore Christmas, asking if he could supply him with 50 geese at 78. Gd. each, to be delivered at his (plaintiff's) house the Saturday before Christmas-day. In reply the plaintiff received a letter from the plaintiff's daughter, who manages business, agreeing to do so, but from some reaso❑ or other the geese were not sapplied, and the plaintiff had to purchase the number of geese he re quired at a higher price. This action was brought to recover for the breach of contract, and the jury gave a verdict for 3/. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, (Before the Recorder.) WHITEHOUSE V. JERWOOD. The plaintiff in this case had been a client of the de fendant, who is a solicitor, and plaintiff claimed the sum of 6341. 135., which he had received on his account in his capacity as solicitor. Mr. Robi,,son appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. James for the defendant. Mr. Robinson called a clerk in the Court of Common Pleas, who proved that he paid to Mr. Jerwood 6341. 13s. on account of Mr. Whitehouse, being the amount of a verdict and costs obtained in that court. The payment touk place on the ilth of July. Mr. James said it would be impossible for this court to try this case as there were about 30 witnesses to call on his side. It would direct the mode in which the reference should beconducted. Mr. Robinson was quite willing to have the matter referred to Mr. Brandon, the registrar of the court. The Recorder said then the plaintiff should take a ♦erdict for the full ambunt, subject to the certificate of the registrar, with power to refer any point of law that might arise to the court. The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 631/. 131, DISPUTED MARRIAGE. At the County Court Birmingham, on Monday, betore Leigh Trafford, Dig., the case of "Webb v. Francis and Charlotte Pemberton" created considerable interest. The following report of the proceedings is from the _Birmingham Journal:--In this, perhaps the most singular case ever brought before his Honour, plaintiff is a bridle cutter, in Cannon-street, and Mr. Pemberton is the well-known glass enameller, in Newhall-hill, Miss Pemberton being his sister. Mr. Kennedy, instructed by Mr. Collis, was retained for Mr. Webb, and Mr. O'Brien, instructed by Messrs. Tyndall, Son, and Johnson, appeared for Mr. and Miss Pemberton. The inquiry lasted some hours, and from its nature requires a brief introductory notice to make it generally interesting and intelligible. The mem bers of the Pemberton family, all more or less connected with this strange matter, were, in addition to the two defendants, Charles Pemberton, Catherine Pemberton (both recently dead), and George Pemberton. George Pemberton, said to be now 41 years of age, in March last, and for some time previously, resided with his two sisters, at Hockley-hill. He had the means of support, followed no occup ttion, but employed himself principally in the large garden attached to his sisters' premises. For about ten months previous to the date referred to there lived a servant with the Misses Pemberton, a pale but well-looking young woman named Sarah Allen. As a matter of course, Mr. George Pemberton and this fe male had opportunities of being together, and the conse quence of this state of things was that in March the two persons, George Pemberton and Sarah Allen, clandes tinely left the house of the Misses Pemberton, and were married at All Saints Church by the Rev. Mr. Taylor. Up to this very day not the least suspicion had been entertained by the Misses Pemberton of any intimacy between the two. However, after the ceremony, the newly-married pair came home to Hockley-hill ; and in answer to the inquiries caused by so unusual a circum stance as their having been away together, Mr. George said, " We have been to be married ;" and the particu lars and the marriage licance were adduced in confirma tion. According to the statements made by the recently. married Mrs. George Pemberton, the two ladies, acting in concert, forthwith took from her the marriage certifi cate, pushed Mr. George into one of the parlours, locked the door, and finally ejected the newly-married wife from the house ; and from that day to the present one she had never seen or heard from her husband, and was in total ignorance where he was, or if he still lived. Her parents are poor people at Worcester, and the only resource she had was to take shelter with a poor man she know ' named Taylor. After staying with him a short time he could no longer keep her without remuneration, and she then went to the house of the present plaintiff, Mr. Webb, where she bad since resided, and was sup plied with board and lodging to about three weeks a g e, when, all means failing, as was said, to induce the living members of her husband's family (oy this time, in July and August last, Mr. Charles and Miss Catherine Pem berton were dead) to contribute towards her support, "she now being near her confinement" (so Mr. Ken nedy said), she had sought for and obtained admission into the workhouse. In this state of things it was said that Mr. Harding, having been originally professionally engag, d on her behalf, refused an offer by the Pernber tons made to her of 103. pee week, and therefore it be came necessary that legal steps should be taken to secure to this young woman at least the means of support. Mr. Collis was accordingly consulted, and the result was that to-day the defendants, Mr. Francis and Miss Charlotte Pemberton, were charged with conspiracy to the effect that they illegally and clandestinely kept their brother away from his lawful wife; that they exercised such con straint over his person and property as to prevent his wife having access to him, or of receiving from him the means of support ; and that by such illegal conduct the p l a i nt iff, Mr. Webb (as finding the said wife the means of subsistence), had sustained damage to the amount of 51., which he now sought. to recover at his Honour's hands. As may easily be inftrred in such a case, and with such respectable persons as are the Pemberton family, for defendants, much was said and intimated as to the proceedings which might be taken in a superior court (Chancery); but with these topics, as they entered not into the merits brought before his Honour, we have now nothing to do. We may note here that the de• fence (not, however, at all gone into, as will be seen subsequently) was that Mr. George Pemberton was in fact an idiot, incapable of managing his own affairs, ignorant of the value of money, &c., and of course Lots reeponisible for his actions, nor legally capable of contra t ine marriage. Mr. Kennedy called the two defendants, Mr. Francis and Miss Charlotte Pemberton, into the witness-box, and their testimony went to show such a state of things. The former defendant said that Mr. Charles Pemberton had inherited personal property both from his father and his mother, and that he (Mr. Francis) and the late Mr. George Pemberton were trus tees of such property. Mr. F. Pemberton further stated that after the day of the marriage the husband of the girl Sarah had remained at Hockley-hill, at Newhall bill, and was now and for some months past had been at a Mr. Brookes's, a farmer, who resides in the Stratford road, about six or seven miles from Birmingham (as was ascertained with some difficulty), and who was not pre • viously known to the Pemberton family. The evidence of, Mr. and Miss Pemberton went to show that Mr., George Pemberton, although considered of imbecile mind, was permitted to go to and from the house at his pleasure, although a witness, a woman who lived servant next door to the Misses Pemberton, and who had assisted at the marriage, said she had seen hint twice in the s'reets, but he then had a boy with him. Tbis brides maid, as we may call her, referring to the marria e said that Mr. George Pemberton on the occasion " behaved as a man ought to d o ." Af ter some que-tioning, Mr. Francis Pemberton ad m it te d that about two years ago his brother, Mr. G eorge Pemberton, had made and executed a will at the office of the Messrs. Tyndall, solicitors to the f am il y, and that about twenty years ago Mr. George Pemberton assisted in the business in New hall-hill. In the course of her evidenc e , Mr s . George Pemberton, the bride, said as to her intimacy with her husband during the ten months she had lived with his sistere, she and him and the two ladies frequently sat down to cards, and that Mr. George played the game of whist as well as any one else. She had never secs' any silliness en the part of her husband. The defen dant, Miss Charlotte 'Pemberton, gave a fiat contra diction to the card party affair, and in the course of her answers as to what took place on the marriage day, she swore that her brother George said "I never. will go with her," meaning his wife, and that his stay in the house after Sarah was forced out was entirely voluntary. "George," she added, "seemed very much alarmed at what he had done," and there seems no questio n but that the girl was told shti' had committed a felony in marrying an idiot, and might be hanged or trawl) oted, and this was told her in her hus band's presence. Miss Pemberton also admitted that she had kept the marriage certificate, "to satisfy the family that it had rea ly taken place." As might be ex pected the wife of George Pemberton had written to her husband as to her forlorn and destitute state, and thee notes from time to time bad been left at the residence of the Pemberton family, yet no answer was returned until a curious event took place. John Murgatroyd, a barber, who shaved Mr. George Pemberton twice a week, whilst he was at his brother's, Newhall-hill, was seduced to carry a letter to that person from his wife, and did so ; but by some means (we cannot say how, for the barber, although called as a witness, was not exa mined), this epistle got into the hands of Mr. F. Pein b,rton, who sent it back to the wife, with an intimation that he knew nothing about her husband's residence, and should not be troubled about his affairs. Thus far we have given the outline facts of this romance, and at this stage (not quite the close of the plaintiff's case), his Honour, who had previously intimated the same opinion, said it was clear to his mind that there had been no con • spiracy, and therefore the action must in its present shape fail. As to the defendant, Miss Charlotte Pena herton, there was not the least evidence to affect her as to such a charge, and Mr. Charles Pemberton being dead it could not be said that Mr. F. Pemberton had really and fully acted with his brother as co-conspirator in the matter. Then came the strong fact that the plaintiff, in the whole of the interviews he bad had with the Pem berton family, confined his intercourse to some inquiries as to where Mr. George Pemberton could be found, and neve r once said, "I have a demand against you for his wife's maintenance at my house." Mr. O'Brien had taken the same view of the plaintiff's case, and under the circumstances NT r. Kennedy elected to be non suited —and on Mr. O'Brien asking for the cost, his Honour granted the same. CHARGE AGAINST HARRISON, THE LEEDS "WIZARD." Henry Harrison, the Leeds " wizard," who obtained so unenviable a notoriety in connexion with the murderer William Dove, was on Thursday morning brought up before the Leeds magistrates, charged with obtaining money by false pretences from Elizabeth Croft. It ap peared that this female, who is a servant in a public. house, had in the first instance simply desired to have her fortune told, for which she paid Harrison 6d. Sub sequently she consulted him in respect to " charming" back to her her sweetheart, who latterly had neglected to pay his accustomed visits. Harrison, upon thip, coolly proposed to her an improper familiarity with him self as the only means of regaining her lever's affections. She indignantly refused compliance, and left the house, Her anxiety about her sweetheart, bowev r, c mijoined with her evidently strong belief in Harrison's magical powers, induced her to call upon the latter about a week afterwards. She told him that her lover had not re turned. He again answered that there was no way of restoring him except by the means he had pointed out on the previous occasion. She refused, and was leaving the room, when he seized her and attempted a criminal assault. She, however, broke away from him, and asked what money he would take to restore her sweetheart l He replied "Five shillings." She bad but half-a-crown at the time, but borrowed another 2s. 6d. from a friend, and paid him. He undertook to charm her sweetheart back for this sum, but as the young man did not come she at the end of a week again went to Harrison's. This was on Friday last. He was alone in his private room, and having heard her story impudently renewed his former improper advances. He approached her at the same time, and she attempted to get away. He con trived, however, to get between her and the door, and seizing her round the waist, and notwithstand ing her cries and resistance suceeded in his vile ob ject. Before he allowed her to depart he threatened her that if she raised any alarm, or told any person what had taken place, "He would bewitch her." Frightened by his threats, she did not complain of the outrage upon her ; "but he, with a recklessness quite irre concilable with his general acuteness, boasted in a pub lic-house that he had been familiar with her. This reached the ears of the girl's mistress, who took her to task, and then she told all. Hannah Gibson Wilson, a married woman (who lent the girl the second half-crown to pay Harrison), Braith waite, a constable, and Superintendent James, of the Leeds police, gave corroborative testimony. The bench decided upon remanding the prisoner till Monday next ; and refused to grant bail under any cir cumstances. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY. The betting on the Cambridgeshire underwent no important change. Coup de Main had a steady upward tendency, and was backed at an improved price. At first 700 to 100 was booked about him ; afterwards, however, 8 to 1 was laid. He was the only animal really in demand. 7to 2 was currently offered on the field, and 7 to 1, " bar one." Bto 1 was the last bet booked about Pole Star. 300 even was laid between her and Coup de Main. Pretty Boy, who had been in some request in the City during the morning, was sup ported at 25 to 1.
