By order, G. GROVE, Secre'ary. II ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. SEASON 1856. It is respectfully announced that the OPERA. SEASON will COMMENCE on SATURDAY next, the 10th of May. On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's • Theatre is anxious to assure the patr,ons of the' Opera and the public that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for this establishment that high position it so long maintained ; and he trusts that the renewal- of the enterprise under more prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to ba reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant did successful management. • The secession, i 1 1ir7,44006Y 4 41 10 tionip had long been at d the Opera Douse mencement of a lon e and arduous Struggle to maintain the fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. LUmley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never • fail to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its situa tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence. of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of the vast edifice. • The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy of the former reputution of the Theatre, and of the just ex pectations of its distinguished supporters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is Loped they will even now bo found, are not yet fully com pleted ; and negotiations aro in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected. The following arrangements have been completed : OPERA. MADAME ALBONI, Her first appearance in London these five years. MDLLE. PIC 2OLOMONI, Her first appearance. MDLLE. GIUDITTA RIZZA, MDLLE.

PHE CHANCELLORSVILLE FREEHOLD . GOLD MINING COMPANY. " The Directors of the Chancetioraville Freehold Gold Mining Com pany, while.preparing to lay before the shareholders an elaborate Report, deemit desirable, as much delay has unavoidably occurred, to put forward a few general facts with reference to their proceed ings since their la' t statement. The Directors are happy to be able to say that the stability and permanent saecess of this endortaking are now placed beyond doubt and once , tainty ' A c ipt Some'monthi ha 0 &ens& since tho Directors received consider able consignments the-ore, in consequence of their determination that its reduction a th . extraction of the gold and silver It was known to contain should take place in England, rather than on the estate itself. away from their more direct control. Repe,ted assays of the ore thus received, made by the most eminent analytical che mists, at once confirmed the original report of its value. The great diffieuity with which the Directors had to contend—a difficulty which is now entirely overcome -arose from the non existence of any machinery by which positive results could be ar rived at, on a scale sufficiently lirge to establish an average, and at a remunerative cost • They also felt themselves hound to give a trial to various proposi tions msde by gentlemen who relieved that they possessed the meads of arriving at the desired result. A.reduction of the ore has been made upon a quantity so large as to establish a fair average, with such a yield of gold, and at such a costlef reductiOn, as more than to justify all anticipations, and to render tho success of the nndertaking a matter of certainty. In the meantime, the Directors are making arrangements for the regular transmission of the o.te, and for its reduction on a scale com mensurate with the extent of the undertaking. They will he s.ble, in the more full 'report they will shortly pub lish: to state the exact expenses and the average profit. The Directors have alto the satisfaction to add that there will be no necessity tor any inereatu of the eaplal of the Company, which is quite sufficient for the purposes of the undertaltina.

Last night the anniversary festival of this institution— founded in 179 e with the view to administer assistance to authors of genius rine learning who may be reduced to distress by unavoidable calamitieS, or deprived by en feebled faculties or declining life of the power of literary exertion—was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, when about 150 noblemen and gentlemen, including several distinguished names in the republic of letters, sat down to dinuer under the presidency of hiei Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Among the company, ,present were his Excellency Mr. Dallas, the AansriisaSi Minister; his Excellency M. an de Weyer, the Belgian Arnim . sailor ; Lord Ravenmorth, Lord Teignmouth, Lord Dynevor Lord. Harry Vane . , the 13ishop of Oxford, Mr. Napier,4l.P , Sir Win. Fraser, Sir Henry Ellis, Sir John Burgoyne, General Teatson, Dr. Sandwith, Mr. R. Bell, Mr. Baldwin, and Vie Rev. On:tries Merivale. On ttfe reni 0/ . 21 of the cloth the usual loyal and con stitutional toasts were given from the Chair, that of "The Army and Navy" haring been responded to by Lieut.-G. neral Sir John Burgeyne. His Royal Highness the Chairman also gave " the Corps Dipiomatique," to which M. Van de Weyer replied. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the evening, and in doing so said he had an especial claim upon the indulgence of the company when he looked aver the list of names of distinguished men who bad pre aided over the festivals of this society in former-years. He had no literary position in this country, and his only claim to occupy the place he did ationg them that night, and t I be the advocate of this institution, was that be felt that it was desirable that such an institution should be supported, not only by those more immediately interest ing themselves in the subject, but by the community at large. (Cheers.) He felt Lianselfinitueasurably inferior to his predecessors in the chais,in all points save one, in which be did not adinit4e was inferior to-any Man," and that was as a warm friend and sincere admirer of the .institution • for which he now claimed their support. Tne report, which would be afterwards read, entered so fully into - details as to the operations of the society that he would'only address himself generally to the objects of the Literary Fund and the advantages de rived from it. The institution, as they were aware, was established in 1790, and its aim was to afford assist ante and support to literary persons, echo from various circurnstauces, but certainly not from • any fault of their own, found themselves less fortunate than many of their brethren in the profession of literature, and such a society whether it was connected with literature or with any branch of science, or any occupation in life, was calculated to diffuse much real and substantial good among deserv ing persons suffering from misfortunes, and had therefore an urgent claim upon the consideration of the wealthy and charitable part of the conmuciity. The mode in `which this society in particular was conducted had an especial claim upon the gratitude of the whole body connected with literature in general, taking into consideration the extreme delicacy with which it dispensed the funds at its disposal . for the relief of -literary men suffering from straitened circumstances, and whose susceptibility in duced them to shrink with the greatest reluctance from - appealiug fur support to the charity or humanity of others. One of its fundamental rules was that no name of any one of the recipients of its bounty was ever divu!ged, except, perhaps, to the individual who, like birnsel, was called to lid the chair at its anniversary meetings, and who was permitted to examine the records of the institution with the view of bearing his testi mony to the care and attention observed in the distri bution of its funds. Looking hack to the literary his tory of this ciliary, without alluding to any particular nainee, there was no doubt that many of our most illus trious men had been, at some time or other in their career, in greaVy stra]tened circum-itancee, if not in absolute want. If any such were now placed in a simi lar position they could now have recourse to this society, through the timely aid of which, so judiciously adminis tered, they might not only be aided and assisted in a mo ment of great need, but enabled to assume a position in which they might be inure useful to their country and mankind at large than blore. He sincerely hoped that nothing- would occur to make such a society languish, because it was one which refheted the greatest credit on the general literary public by the support they gave it, and because the assistance it rendered was not confined to struggling men of letters in this country only, but was occasionally extended to the relief of foreigners. Of that they had au instance in M. Chateaubriand, who, though at one time assisted from the funds of this in stitution, afterwards stood in the paeition of Ambas sador to this country, was accu,tomed to express his gratitude for the benefits he derived when circumstances made him a recipient of its bounty. Hediad been per mitted by Lord Stanhope and Mr. Cardwell, the lit« rary executors of the iate Sir R. Peel, to announce that they had sent a donation of 100/. to the funds of the society —part of the proc,eds of ..the sale of the first portion of certain Dalin-6 left by Sir Robert, and which were now about to be given to the world. Such adonation reflected great credit on the discriminatiOn of those two gentle men, and was, as it were, a legacy to the society by one of the niostattnetrious stateenten okthis Country in mo !dem times. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness conc.uded by giving "Prosperity to the Literary Fund." The toast was drunk with acclamation. At a subsequent period of the evening his Royal High ness p: oposect, in an appropriate speech, "The Literature and Science of the United States and his Excellency the American Minister." Mr. DALLAS, in rising to respond to the toast, was en thusiastically cheered. He said—My lords and gentle men, after thanking, as I now do, his Royal Highness for recognising by that toast the literature and science of my country, and, after thanking this company for hav ing received that toast with impressive cordiality, it would perhaps be most prudent for me to resume my seat, and to avoid the remarks necessarily incident to the handling of a subject of which I cannot pretend to be master. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or t as t e not, the Pierian spring." (A laugh.) There are, h owever, a few recollections that stimulate me to do something more. Let me remind you cf an historical truth peculiarly interesting to me at this moment. Over the small and hesitating meeting which in 1773 constituted the germ of this now flourishing and brilliant institution of bereeficence presided a countryman of my own—(cheers)—and it it be true, 9,i doubtless it is, that the simile and practical ch aracter o f hi s m i n d re fused to entertain the sanguine hopes of your subsequent founder, still it was Be jamin Franklin, the American sage, philosopher, and statesman, who gave from the chair of that meeting his grave sanction to the efforts and purpo=es which subsequently—zealously persevered in—have produced the triumph I now witness. (Cheers.) Nor can I be altogether insensible to the fact that a re lative of my own was the great gfandson of your first chairman. (Hear.) Marked by the intellectual charac teristics of his ancestors, and achieving now, in an official occupation in the United States, and amidst the loftiest spheres of science, a fame at least equal, I feel bound, as his representative in a certain sense, co co-operate in the expression of all honour and adhesion to the cor poration whose generously sustaining hand is unrestricted by invidious limits. (Cheers.) It was my lot, about 10 years ago, as presiding chancellor of an institution for increasing the diffusion of knowledge among men—all men—men without distinction of class, of party, of faith, or of country—to act in that capacity and at that institution, founded upon and subsisting by the bounty of a wise and benevolent Englishman—(eheers)7and in accepting the munificent bequest of Smithson , i n the in stitution bearing his name, and now in s uccessful opera tion in the city of Washington, and giving that muni ficent bequest a direction analogous to your own, the Government of the United States itself has paid a just homage to the principles and practices of this society. (Cheers.) It would afford me great pleasure, and per haps it would cater to my national pride, to have my name identified with the intellectual band by whom the literature and science of the United States have been advanced and illustrated. I abstain from that at this hour of the night. They owe a heavy debt, payable in the coin of the brain, to the genius of this island. But let me say that their labours are indefatigable to reduce that debt, and already they cease to regard, as a hopless achievement, the payment of that debt in full. (Cheers.) Siece my arrival, within the last seven weeks, in your great capital, I have been delighted to listen to eul og i es upon the system of American juridical science from lips which are the most eloquent and learned in Westmin ster-hall ; I have been delighted to hear intermingled the name; of Alison, Bancroft, Prescott, M acau l ay, Irving, and Grote ; I have been delighted to remark that no exclusion from the almost unimaginable pre cincts of " Waverley," " Vanity Fair", an d 4t My Novel" is harshly prescribed against the Indian ro mances and sea.tales of Cooper, or against " The House of Seven Gabels," and " The Scarlet Letter ;" in fine, I have been glad to peroeive that the sarcastic criticism has grown obsolete and been permanently banished, which I have heard in m y youth, " Whoreads an Ame rican book ?" (Cheer , .) It is from this ha rmony i n the scientific and literary expression of the two coun tries that we draw our best hopes of harmony in our general intercourse with each other. (Cheers.) The influence of authors over communities, when combined, is neither to be doubted nor exaggerated. Let us, then, trust that the copious, strong, polished language com mon to England and America will cease to be the me dium of strife, and become, on the otmtrary, an instru ment of mutual instruction , conciliation, and peace. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Goineverr read an extract from the report of the society, from which it appeared that 53 grants, making an aggregate of 1,6551., had been made from the funds during the 'pact year, being a larger suns than it had ever before dispensed in any former year. Of these, 31 had been made to gentlemen who had been relieved for the first time. The permanent Fund consisted at pre sent of 21,3001. Consols, producing an annual dividend of 6391., in addition to about 4501., the produce and rents of the stock of the Newton property and the New ton estate at Wbitechapel. Lord RAVENSWORTII, in a complimentary speech, in the course of the evening, proposed " the health of his Royal Highness the Chairman. Lord HARRY VANE gave, " the Historians," to which the Rev. C. MERIVALE responded. Mr. R. BELL proposed, "the Writers of Psrioilical Literature," as sociating the name of Mr. Henry Reeve with the toast, which that gentleman acknowledged. Sir WILLIAM FRASER ga ve , " the Vice-Presidents," to which the Bishop o f OXFoRD responded. Mr. NAPIER, M.P., gave, "the Writers on Science, and Professor OWen ;" and "The Tra veller; and Dr. Sand with ", was proposed by Lord DYNEVOR. The subscriptions amounted to 1,350/., of which 100 guineas were given by her, Majesty, 201. by the Duke of Cambridge, and 4501. by Mr. George Barran, a gentle man residing in Yorkshire. The proceedings were pro ~•tracted to an advanced hour. GRAND BANQUET TO HER MAJESTY'S LAUSTE/i2. -ED.- Last night the Lord Mayor entertained her Majesty's Ministers at a magnificent banquet in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion-house. The dinner to her Majesty's Ministers, although an event of annual occurrence in the City of London, was on the present - occasion rendered of more than usual interest in consequence of the con clusion of the treaty of peace. The festivity partook, therefore, of something of the nature of a peace festival, and the addresses of the various rw.rribers of the Govern. went possessed in consequence a more than ordinary amount of interest. The magnificent hail in which the banquet took place was decorated with great taste, and a majority of the guests being in court or official costume gave an appearance of magnificence to the entertaic ment which harmonised well with the importance of the occasion.

The •‘ Health of her Majesty, of Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," having been proposed in suitable terms by the Lard Mayor, and drank with the usual loyal enthusiasm by the company, The LORD MAYOR proposed "The health of the Em peror and Empress of the French." In do so his lord ship said the world has recently beheld the spectacle of two great nations cordially co-operating together for one common object, for the purpose of securing the interests and stability of the great cause of Eurpean The attitude which France and England has assumed in the prosecution of the war, and the friendship which has been cemented in the battle-field, will, I trint, continue during long years of prosperous and unbroken peace. It was his most hearty wish, and that, he believed, was shown by all the citizens of London, that the Emperor and Empress of the French might be blessed with every blessing of domestic felicity. (Cheers.) His Excellency M. DE PERSIGNY, the French Ambas sador, in acknowledging the toast, said Messieurs Les sentirnens que Milord Maire vient d'exprimer re pondent fidelement a ceux de l'Empereur et de la France a regard de l'Angleterre.

(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The Army and Navy." His lordship said—l am sure that the people of this country will not fail to entertain the deepest sense of gratitude to our noble army and navy tor the exertions which they have recently made on carrying on the war. I regret the abse oce of the gallant nobleman the Cemmen der-in-Chief, whom I hoped to have ha I the p:e.siure of meeting on this occasion. The noble lord has, however, been prevented by indisposition front being present, but a gallant veteran, Gen. Fox, who is present, will reply on the part of the army, and the right hon. bart. the First Lord of the Admiralty will, I have no doubt, do the seine for that profession of which he is the distin guished head. Sir C. Wool), in replying to the toast on behalf of the navy, said—l rise to express on the part of that noble profession, with which my name has been associated, their grateful thanks for the manner in which you, my lord, have proposed their health, and the cordial man ner in which the toast has been received by this most distinguished company. Although, during the late war, the navy did not have much opportunity for displayiug its innate valour and well-known courage, still, the ser vices which they had an opportunity of tendering suffi ciently proved that that the navy of this colliery had lost nothing of its ancient pre: tze. In the Rack. Sea, my gallant friend Admiral Lyons inspired that portion of the navy under his command with a portion of his own zeal and undaunted courage—arid also employed his best energies in aiding our gallant army be his valuable assistance. The navies of England and France had left not an enemy to contend with on the ocean. I cordially reciprocate the sentiments—and I am sure that every one in this room will do the same—which we have beard expressed by his Excellency the French Ambassador, that the union of England and France may long continue in peace, as it has during the war, to contribute to ce meet the alliance between the two nations, and to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of the human race. (Cheers.) Major-General Fox, on behalf of the army, said—l regret the absence of those Rho would upon this oc (Wien have performed in a manner so much abler than myself the task which has devolved upon me of re turning thanks on the part of the army for toe manner in Which its health has been proposed and received. While feeling incompetent to discharge adequately the duty conferred upon me, I may take the opportunity of saying that no person could feel more strongly than I do the honour which the army Las acquired by its late services (MUTUAL.)

STAMPED SD• in the Crimea. (Cheers ) And this honour I feel to he Istill greater, from the faot that the war in which its ser vices have been engaged has been a just and necessary war. (Cheers.) If ever, unfortunately, another war should break out and threaten danger to the cause of civilisation and progress, I feel quite sure that the army will then, as it has lately done, nobly perform its mis Sion. (Cheers.) I regret that I had not an opportunity of particioating in the operations of the war, and cannot resist congratuiatin , the company present on the conclu sion of th e t re aty of b peace, and expressing my earnest hope that the peace which has been concluded may be as lasting as it is honourable to the nation. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave "The health of her Majesty's Ministers." This toast, his lordship said, is one which the citizens of London are always happy to receive. It is a source of gratification to us whenever her Majesty's Ministers honour us, as upon this occasioi , with their company, and when an opportunity is affardeu by the chief magistrate of the City of proposing such a toast as that which I hare now the honour to propose. The position of a Minister of the Crown in this country is one of the greatest difficulty. The Government of the country is essentially one of public opinion. A Minister must he not only a faithful servant of the Crown, but he must also possess the confidence of Parliament. and the favour and support of the people at large. The noble lord at the head of the Government with his col eagues were placed in power because it was considered necessary to 'he honour of the country that the war should be prosecuted with greater vigour and energy than had previously been tue case—that greater vigour should be infused into our councils, and greater preparations made for conducting the war with vigour. There ca❑ be no doubt that we are i! . debted for the peace which we are now enjoying to the energetic mea.nres of her Majesty's present Govern- went. Ir, must he admitted that at first the "peace" was coldly r,ceived by the public at large as compared with what had been the case in former times. It was at firs, thought, judging from the last war; the peace ought to be preceded by some glorious events and victories which had moved the minds and raised the spirits of the people. It was thought, no doubt, that peace could not ba achieved without their usual concomitants of great ♦ictories ; but a little reflection upon what has taken place ha{ produced a change in public opinion on the subjt ct. The people have not, it is true, "a glorious peace," but they have a statesmanlike peace—a peace which might justly challenge any similar event whica has taken plate in the modern history of Europe. I trust that the treaty of peace which has just been concluded will open up new channels for the c,unmercial enterprise of this country. In former times the opyniog up of the navigation of the Mississippi was considered a great benefit, but it is not less important to the interests cf Europe and of the civilised world that the freedom t f the navigation of the Danube has been secured. The effect of the opening up of that navigation will be to us what the Mississippi has beat in another quarter of the world, and I am sure that when, after a short time the labours of the commission appointed to regulate the na vigation of that noble river shall be concluded, when ships c .rrying the British flag shall be at liberty to visit every port in the Mediterranean, to pass through ti a Dardatiel:e , , enter the Black Sea, and carry their cargoes up t , ) the very walls of Kinies—when, I say, that has been effected, the present treaty of peace will be found to be one of immense value. A not less important object effected by the treaty is the permanent settlement of boundaries which previously were uncertain and ill defined. I fed confident that the Cabinet of the noble lord, having succeeded i❑ bringing the war to a happy termination, will be by the confidence of the public and of the Parliament to intr•nluce such other measures of legislation as wi I serve to extend commerce and give oc cupation to the varied interests of this great empire. The toast having been drunk with great cordiality, Lord PALMERSTON (who upon rising was loudly cheered) said—lt is always a source of the greatest so.- ti,faction for those charged with the conduct of affairs to receive the hospitaliry of the worthy magistrate who presides in this noble mansion as the representative of this great metropolis. If ever there was a time at which it must he more peculiarly grateful to those who stand in our position to be present at this boar I, it must be the moment at which we have now the honour to appear before you. When could be a more fitting time to be present to receive the hospitality of those who represent the great commercial principle than the moment when, at the close of a great and successful war, we have just concluded an honourable and advantageous treaty of commerce, which will give fresh scope to commercial enterprise, and will lay the foundation ofnational wealth and the welfare and happiness of Europe. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has bee, pleased to remark that he thinks that the task of those who conduct the affairs of this country is one peculiar difficulty—that they stand in a double relation—that they must enjoy the confidence of the Crown, and that they must also possess the confi dence and favour of the people. There never was a pe riod in the history of England in which that task was more easy than it is at the present time ; for there never was a time when the sympathy which exists bet Ween the Crown and the nation, between the person who sits on the throne and those who are her subjects, was more in timate than it is now ; or more founded on the best sympathies which dignify human nature. The Lord Mayor has adverted to the diooult task we had in conducting, with sufficient energy and vigour, the war which has been brought to a termination. In that respect also the task which we had to perform was comparatively easy, fur there was among the people of this country that noble spirit, that calm steady determination, that manly energy, which renders the task of the Government comparatively passive. We had only to apply the means which the generous energy of the country placed in our hand. It was not necessary for us to stimulate courage which was boiling over in the hearts of the people. We had only to accept the means which were cheerfully placed at our disposal, and we should indeed have been unworthy of the position which we occupied, and of the confidence which we enjoyed, if we had not been able to direct those means to the accomplishment of the successful issue which has crowned the exertions of the people of this country. We trust also that the peace which has be , a concluded, though it may not be accompanied with con quered territories, with tributes levied upon vanquished enemies—though it may not be accompanied with those consequences which sometimes grace the conclusion of a contest—we believe that the conditions of this peace will be considered the more satisfactory the more one compares the dangers which beset Europe when the war begun, the condition in which that country was placed for the protection of which we took up arms. The In. , re the people of this country compare the state of things two years ago with the condition in which Europe is placed by the treaty which has been concluded by my noble friend who sits near me, that treaty, I say, which, with such distinguished ability, with such foresight, with such anxious care to guard every interest which came under consideration, has been concluded ; the more that comparison is made the more the people of this country will have reason to think that their sacriGc3s have not been made in vain ; that the efforts which they made have not been made without adequate result ; and while they may look back to the war with pride and satisfaction on the one hand, on the other hand they may 19ok back to the peace with confidence as regards the future. (Loud cheers.) You have heard, gentle men, the noble and enlightened sentiments expressed by the ambassador of France, sentiments of that great nation, and, above all, of that great Sovereign whom he so worthily represents in this country. The know ledge that those are the principles of our great ally, and that will guide his conduct, must inspire you still more with ciasadence in the results of the peace. It is a grad ing circumstance—a circumstance most reassuring to Europe—that those two great nations, the nations of England and France, are allied in common bonds ; after having often stood side by side in the field of battle— after having sat together in conference at the same table at which peace was made, they are sure to be bound for the future by ties doubly sacred—ties cemented by com mon danger, by c.smmunity of interests, which, I trust, will perpetuate an al lance not only honourable and advantageous to the countries whom it binds, but which will lay a foundation upon which the peace and prospe- rity of Europe will rest. (Cheers.) I congratulate the assembly that my lird mayor has assembled so many Rt , prese,,tatives of the Powers of Europe to testify their sympathy with the great eleat so recently concluded. We have the gratification of seeing here the representa• tive of that noble ally who has raised his country to a level with the great powers f Europe, not possibly in the extent of its territory, brit in the honour which he has done to the noble principles which prescribe his con duc!-. The conduct of the King of Sardinia will always rt fleet the highest honour on himself, and on the nation he so worthily govern , . We have also the representative of the Sultan, in whose cause we drew the sword, and who has shown his gratitude for the efforts made in his support by the great charter which he has granted to his Christian subjects. A charter which, adding honour to the right principles by which he governs his country, will, by affording double strength, afford double security to his throne, are obiects as advantageous to the perma• nence of his Government and of its throne as it will be beneficial to the millions of subjects whom it will affect. I will Only return you thanks on the part of myself and my colleagues for the honour you have done us, and to assure you that n othing can afford us more gratification than being here to receive the hospitality of this great commercial metropolis of the world. The noble lord resumed his seat amid loud cheering. The LORD MAYoR next gave "The Health of the Foreign Ministers and Ambassadors," coupling with it the name of his Excellency 111. Musurns, the Turkish Mi nister. The TURKISH AMB ASfiADOR, wbo acknowledged the toast in French, said :—Le corps diplomatique vous ex prime s;s rotuereiments pour le toast si amicalement l'r"PkP - o per le Lord Moire, et si sympatidquernent vccu• edit par tousles assist,r ts.

(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, Sa d —lt affords me great pleasure to submit to your accep • anoe the toast of "Toe Health of the British Plenipo tentiaries at the late Congress at Paris." The noble call the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—(cheers) — has had the good fortune to affix Lis signature to a treatry which may be justly regarded as one of the most famous in the history of the world. What that noble earl has effected in regard to this treaty will cause hie name to be long remembered with gratitude by the peo ple of this country, and to occupy a place in the history of his country by the side of the noblest deeds performed by his ancestors. (C .) The Earl of CLARENDON, who, on rising, was received with prolongel cheering, said the approbation of his fellow-countrymen Aces the highest reward that could be looked for by no ver o, like himself, had been engaged in the public service. the late war has been called a war of statesmen, because it was a war of principle, not a war of c , nquest or ambition. It might also be called a war o" the people. (Hear.) The exertions of the people entitle it to that c a ne. As the noble lord at the head of the Government has observed, those circumstances inciden tal to war which occurred in connection with the alliance between thi: country and France served the better to strengthen that union between them, and to exhibit the unswerving fidelity of our great ally. Russia has ac cepted the conditions of Eneland and France, and the present Emperor of Russia has expressed his intention to adopt measures well calculated to develops the re• sources of Lis empire by a policy of peace. (Hear.) We have reasm to conclude that we have brought the war to a successful termination, and that we have eLt n.ed into an honourable and:acting peace. (Cheers.) The noble ea-I concluded by proposing "The health of the Lord Mayor." The L min MAYOR briefly returned thanks for the honour which h ei been done him as well in proposing his health as in the fla . .tering manner iu which it had been received by the company, and propcse I "The health of the House of Lords," associating with the toast the name of the Lord Chancellor. b ,„ ~,71.1 N - A f .-,A , f -1 I 'it'...›. - ite::: '-.,* 11:!!):4),/ l; f~: ^! Y :1 i~~ 4" The LORD CHANCELLOR, in acknowledging the toast on behalf of the Howe of Lords, said that it afforded biro great pleasure to find that the opinion entertained by that house c oncided with the views expressed by more than one speaker as to the nature of the peace just concludel. The House of Lords had testified their ap proval of the treaty just con7luded by unanimously agreeing to an address to her Majesty, expressive of their joy a.id satisfaciion on the occasion. The f-ud of man had now happily pas s ed awAv, and turning flora the recollections of the past to brighter anticipa,tiong of the future, he trusted that the illustrious body wI ona he had then the h ;nour to repr_•sent would not be wanting in unremitting exertions in endeavouring t) realise the prospects so ably indicated by the representative of •hi gr •.at natiso with which we were now in such cordial alliance. (Cheers.) He trust :d that, forgett , i g her. - after those false principl s wife) had actuated i ations as well as individual,, that the p7oßlerity of our neigh bours in commercial relations tended to our &stags— they might believe that the gr 'au st advant ice was to be derived from the perfect frefdom of commercial inter course between the various nations of the earth. He trusted that it won d be t ie constant endeavour of PAr- liatnent t, devote its best ener.iies to the development of true commercial princip'e in order to give effeet to a more enlightened policy, aid thereby to benefit all classes of mankind. (Chef ra.) Tue Loan MAYOR next pr , posed "The health of the House of Commons," associaliAg with the last the name of Sir George Grey. Sir GEORGE GREY, in reply to the toast, said—On the part of the House of C mullions, as well a, for myself, I beg to return you our thanks for the honour you have done us. I shall always esteem it the highest honour to have my name ast ch;iated with such a toast ; for it was of the highest distinction. Under a constitutional Go vernment the House of Commons insures the expression of the opinions of the country, and I entirely cnecur in the opinion which has been expressed, that never have the opinions of the pe, plc of this country been inure ably or more justly represented than in the part which the House of C,mtnons has taken in affording their support to the Ministers of the. Crown in the prosecution of the war. Tee unanimity with which they have agreed in the ex• pression of the opinion that the war has been brought to a termination in a manner honourable to the Crown, as having accomplished the objects of the war, refhcts the highest credit on their patriotism. I trust that as the war was undertaken for no selfish ends, the blessings of peace will not be enjoyed by one country to the hurt of another, but that it will cement and consolidate the al liance which this country has entered into, from which during the war this country derived the greatest benefit, and which will now, I trust, give an impulse to the wel fare, happiness, and prosperity of mankind. (Cheers.) The next toast given was that of "The Clergy." which was responded to by the Rev. the Dean of St. Paul's. The LORD MAYOR afterwards gave the health of the Judges, for which learned body Lord Chief-Justice Campbell briefly returned thanks. Lot d PALMERSTON said—l have received permission to propose to you a toast which I am sure you will drink with the greatest pleasure. We have, gentlemen, been talking of the war, and we have been talking of diplo macy, two sources of influence which exert a powerful sway on the destinies of the country. But there is a third source of influence no less powerful. than these ; that source of influence which proceeds from the fair sex. (Laughter.) It is to be borne in mind that men often make war fur the defence of the fair sex, and it TM said, with what truth I do not presume to avow, that they often diplotnatise for the purpose of gaining their favour. Let us then do honour to the ladies, and lam sure, gentlemen, you will feel that there is no more ap propriate mode of rendering hotline to the ladies than by drinking the health of the Lady Mayoress, who, with so much grace and dignity, has presided over the fes tivities of the evening. I beg to propose "The Health of the Lady Mayoress." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks on behalf of the Lady 'Mayoress, after which the company separated. The dinner was provided by Messrs. Staples. PROVINCIAL NEIV,PAPER SOCIETY. The 20th anniversary of this society was held yester; clay at the London Tavern ; Mr. T. P. Austin in the chair. After transacting the usual business, the mein hers pre-ent, including representatives from many of the most influential country journals, dined together. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, "Suc cess to the Provincial Newspaper Society," dwelt upon the beneficial results which had flowed from its exer tions. There was no member of the House of Commons whom the society's delegates had waited upon with re ference to the repeal of the newspaper stamp who had not listened to them with the greatest possible attention. Unfortunately, the Government were too strongly pledged to the Manchester party, the chief members of which—Messrs. Bright, Colo•len, and Milner Gibson, had found in a well-con lucted press a complete coun terpoise to their own influence, and hence the exertions they had made to Americanise the English newspaper. The repeal of the newspaper stamp bad, however, sig nally failed. The chief object was to ruin the Times, but the Times was now as powerful and influential as ever. The same might be said of one or two others of Ihe London newspapers ; but the effect of the measure had been to injure many old and respectable journals, without in the least benefitting those who had attempted to supersede them. During the first year after the re peal of the stamp no fewer than 130 cheap papers had been started in the country, and he would venture to say that not 30 of them were now in existence. It re quired many qualities to render a newspaper successful. Mere money would not do it. It needed ability, tact, principle, character. Ho was well acquainted with the quarters from which many of the new speculations bad proceeded, and be could state that the parties were.eti cient in the last-named most important prerequisite. He trusted that more unity of action would be exhibited by the newspaper proprietary of the kingdom ; for they might depend upon it one newspaper could not perma• nently prosper at the expense of the rest. The toast was received with loud cheers. An elegant candela• brum was presented to Mr. F. White, as a testimonial of respect for bis exertions o 9 behalf of the society, more especially in connection with the legislative enactment of last session with regard to the newspaper press.
