The grand banquet, given by the Lord Mayor and She riffs in honour of their accession to office, toak place last night in the Guildhall. The vastbanqueting-hall presented a dazzling blaze of light and colour. Jets of gas ran round the ceiling and ornamented the architectural screen-work of the hail, and coloured chandeliers, transparencies, me dallies's, and trophies of flags united to give brilliancy and animation to the scene. The warlike character of the de coratione of last year was now succeeded by transparencies and paintings illustrative of the happier and more benign influences of . peace. Above the dais occupied by the Lord Mayor and the principal guests was a colossal representa tion of Peace descending from the skies with the olive branch, and encouraging Agriculture and Commerce by her presence. At the opposite end of the hall was a spirited painting, illustrative of the arts and the impulses they derive from peace. Poetry, Painting, Sculpture, Music, and Architecture were here symbolized, and represented in the active pursuit of their respective arts. Above this, the western window, was a brilliant gns star, supplied by Mr. Osler, upon a black ground, which shed a soft and rich light upon the lower end of the hall. A plume of feathers, nine feet in height, composed of spun glass, was placed over the gallery on the south side of the hall, anda golden figure of Plenty, with a basket of flowers on her head, stood on either side of the entrance to the lobbies leading to the council chamber. Around the hall were medallion portraits of her Majesty and the principal Sovereigns of Europe, now happily allied to us in peace ful relations. The brilliant illuminations and paintings of the hall, the elegantly dressed ladies :who parti cipated in the banquet,, the inilitary, naval, and diplo matic costumes which gave variety to the scene, the scar let-robes of the jades, sergeants-at-law, and aldentelf; the flowers and evergreens which were liberally distri buted upon the walls, made up together a coup d'ceil of remarkable beauty and splendour. Among the • earlier arrivals wan his Royal Highneis the Duke of Cambridge, who was loudly cheered on entering the hall. Lord Pal merston was also greeted with an enthusiastic reception. Among the company were—the late Lord Mayor, the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Palmerston, Lord Panmuro, Mr. Sheriff Mechi, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Peruvian Minister, the Brazilian Minister (Le Commandeur F. J. de Carvalho Moreira), the Haytian Minister, the Mexioan Charge d'Affaires, Sir E. Cust, Lord Duncan, M.P., Lord Castlerosse, M.P., Sir W. F. Williams, M.P., Sir B. Hall, the Lord Chief Baron, Major-General Sir G. Pollock, the Lady Mayoress, the late Lady Mayoress, Mr. facriff Keats, Sir F. Thesiger, M.P., Mr. Justice Haliburton, Colonel Sykes, Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Justio 'Watson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. * Justice the Earl of Harrowby, Mr. J. Wilson, M.P., Mr. Sergeant Shee, M.P., Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr. Massey, M.P., &c. After dinner the loving cup went round according to the usual formalities. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—Your Royal Highness, my Lords, ladies, and gentlemen, loyalty to our Soverei3n is a strong characteristic of the people of this nation, and I feel that no preface is necessary on my part to induce you to drink in these ancient halls the health of the . Sovereign. (Cheers.) I give you " the health of the Queen," and may a kind Providence long bless her with health to reign over' a prosperous, happy, and united people. (Cheers.) " God save the Queen" was then sung by the vocalists. , The LORD MAYOR next gave " the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family." (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR.—An unexpected honour and pleasure have been conferred upon me by the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and I feel assured that you will all greet him with a hearty welcome. His Royal Highness has nobly fought the battles of our country, and has survived the war in which he bore so distinguished a part. We now have the advantage of his services as Com mander-in-Chief of the army, and we all anticipate great public benefit from the superintendence of the army by so experienced and gallant a general. (Cheers.-) I have much pleasure in proposing " The Health of the Duke of Cam bridge," and may he long live to perform the duties of Consmander-in-Chief of the army of Great Britain. (Load cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was greeted with enthu siastic applause, said—My LOrd Mayor, ladies, and gentle men,—l feel extremely flattered by the very kind manner in whiifli my health has been proposal and received. I am at all times proud and happy to have an opportunity of associating with my fellow-citizens in London, and this is tho first occasion on which I have h'ad the honour of ad dressing thorn since I 4sstuned a more important position in the public service than I had hitherto hold. I am aware that, in undertaking the duties of that position, much is naturally and justly expected from me, but I hope you will believe rue when I assure you that it , ever has• been, and will always continue to be, my anxious and earnest desire to act in such a manner that when, at some future period, I may have to resign or retire from the post I have now tho honour to occupy, it will he with the feeling that I have conscientiously discharged my duty to my country. If by such a course I gain the good opinion and the kindly feel ing of my follow countrymen I shall feel that I have ob tained the most gratifying reward that can fall to the lot of l y b u o r r: h y l ) a o y p r mn d u asbdhmleii desirous, rw i ivaitsgnh, ttoh l nel b ad uotesohsai; sib i t x lryo p foh e cf,a,tvettedhh,eshlAno honoured army, alo L uyr o .e rl w yl M hn oie a cu y hb o hy r la , cvo t e h u i a pn t . i s some h o respectshon honour r n t e o r me ep g re r s e e a n t t, to honourex express n . a n ni t i h n e g i r m ll e un a 1 0 0 u m e y ; sense of the distinguished attention ' w s li s i 2 ch they havenorwe ceived since their return from the seat of war. (Cheers.) Nothing could b e more gratifying to the feelings of the army than the cordial welcome they have experienced since g their eed return fro c f r r o i m m e t a l . l e ( ehaorl,e and conaemu h ee n r i i g ) That h i as n be th en e nowhere more co r di a ll y di splayed than in this great metro polis, and we are de e ply i n d e b ted to my excellent friend the late Lord Mayor for the ability with which he presided over the banquet given to the Guards. (Cheers.) On behalf of the army I beg to thank my friend the late Lord Mayor and the citizens of London for the very handsome compli ment they then paid to our troops. (Renewed cheers.) I am sure also, that the army must be equally gratified by the cor dial welcomes which have been accorded to them in the sis ter capitals of Dublin and Edinburgh. (Cheers.) The best reward of a soldier is the kindly approval of his fellow countrymen. The people of England have exhibited that kindly feeling towards the army, and, as at this moment the representative of the army, I beg to toll you they are grateful for the compliment. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—We are now at peace with all the world, but wo must not forget by whom that peace was achieved, or that everything was due to the gallantry of the united service. We have some of the noblest ornaments of that service present among us, men who have gained the good feeling of those who have witnessed their exploits. We aro honoured with the presence of one gallant General who twelve months ago was fighting the battles of his country and enduring the greatest privations. I trust we may now long continue at peace with all tho world, and I give " the Army and Navy," coupling with the toast "the health of General Sir W. Williams of Kars and of Captain Milne." Sir W. WILLIA3U was received with much cheering. He said he hop e d h e s h ou ld h ave escape d the duty of returning thanks f or th e army, s i nce hi s R oya l Hi g h ness Commander-in-Chi e f was presen t. H av i ng b een called upon by the L or d M ayor, it was i mposs ibl e f or him not to ri se an d endeavour to fulfil the duty i mpose d upon him, but he could not help feeling that Sir G. Pollock was an officer of greater standing and distinction than himself, who better deserved to have his name as sociated with the toast. The Lord Mayor had adverted to the restoration of peace. Upon former occasions when ' peace was declared the army had been reduced to the low est possible number. It was therefore most pleasing to him to know that we should now have a very fine and noble army scattered over the land, under the discipline of his Royal Highness and the able administration of the noble lord -near him (Lord Panmure). He congratulated his countrymen upon this circumstance, and ho was sure that if the old Crimean army should be called on to fight the battles of their country they would display the same va lour, energy, and heroism which distinguished them dur ing the late war. (Cheers.) Captain MiLxz, as a member of the Board of Admiralty, acknowledged the toast on the part of the navy. The LORD MA/OR, after gratefully alluding to the ser vices of his predecessor in office, next proposed "the health of the late Lord Mayor." (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman SALO:4OIIS said he wanted words to ex press the gratitude he felt to his fellow -citizens for the kindness with which they had viewed his efforts to serve them. Upon the occasion of this banquet occurring last year ho experienced much anxiety, but he now felt very proud and grateful for the good opinion which his fellow citizens had been pleased to express. He could not sit down without expressing to his Royal Highness his grati tude for the complimentary manner in which he had been good enough to speak of his humble services. He trusted the Lord May or wou ld d er i ve as much pleasure from his year of office as h e h a d d one . (Cheer's.) " The health o f th e L or d Chancellor" was then p roposed by the LORD MAYOR, and acknowledged by the noble and learned lord. The LORD MAY,OR, irt'propesin . :; " The he,i.lth of her Ma jesty's Ministers," said they were honored 'by the pr, ; . sense of a member of the Cabinet who had rendered most impoitant and valuable services to the nation at a period of its greatest need. That noble lord had carried the country afely through a panguinary war, and he would now doubtless turn his attention to such measures es would maintain the national prosperity in a time of peace. They had seen that the noble lord had lately employed . himself in visiting the manufacturing districts, and wher ever he presented himself to the people his taleists and acquirements must be highly appreciated. He begged to give "the health of Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's Ministers." .(Loud and prolonged cheering.) Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with loud cheering, said—Your Royal Highness, my Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen, for myself and fel- any coljeagues I beg you to accept our most sincere thanks for the honour you have done us by the reception you have given• to the toast that has just been drunk. I can assure you that the goodwill —I trust I may say the approbation—of our fellow-coun trymen must always be the greatest encouragement and raward of those who are charged with the conduct of pub lic affairs: (Cheers.) The different classes in this country are all deeply occupied with their own avocations, and it is not often that they have the opportunity of meeting at such festive boards as that around which we are assembled ; and on that account, speaking for nip col leagues, I may say that we peculiarly prize the opportu nity afforded us of receiving in this magnificent hall the splendid hospitality of this great city, and of hero cement ing acquaintanceslaipe—l trust I- am not saying too much if I call them friendships—which may not only conduce to our personal comfort -and gratification, but which must have a useful tendency to facilitate the intercourse of po liticians and commercial men in,varieus transactions con nected with the business of the country. You, my Lord Mayor, have adverted to the events of the late war, and to the peace which has followed. At the commencement cf the present year this country possessed the finest army and the most magnificent fleet that were ever engagea in de fending the honour and the rights of England. (Cheers.) aniteeuirit °file emsatela was roused-to-as- hie,- a pitch as was ever witnessed in this country. (Cheers.) There was every prospect that, if the war had continued, future suc cesses would have been obtained, equal at all events to those which had crowned the armies of the allies ; but when we found that we could obtain by negotiatibn terms of peace which would satisfy our just demands, and which would secure the future peace and independence of Europe, we thought it our duty to sheathe the sword, and, in con junction with our allies, to put an end to the hostilities which were at the time' in progress. We were convinced that the people of England would willingly forego the pro spects of future military and naval glory when they were satisfied that the objects of the war had been substantially accomplished. It now remains that the conditions of the peace shall be faithfully executed—(cheers)—and honour ably observed—(renewed cheering)—and then I trust that the peace of Europe will be placed upon a, se cure and permanent foundation. (Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor has adverted to a visit which I have just made to , the manufacturing districts of. this country. It is indeed most gratifying to those who are charged with the conduct of public affeils to witness everywhere the industry, the enterprise, I will say the genius, of the'people of this land—(hear) —to see upon whet secure foundations the prosperity of the empire rests, and to augur from the glorious present the future increas ing progress of the wealth, the power, and the prosperity of our common country. (Cheers.) I can only express my fervent wish that this great city, which is, I may say, the centre of the commercial wealth and enterprise of the world, which regulates the commercial affairs of almost every country on the face of the earth, —may continue for the future to flourish as it has done in the past ; that it may continue to be the heart—for so it may be termed—of this great country, and that it may not only contribute to the wealth and prosperity of England, but that it may tend to promote the blessings of peace and civilisation in every country of the habitable globe: (Cheers.) I again beg to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, in the name of my colleagues, and for myself, for the honour you have done us, and to assure you that nothing can give us greater pleasure and satisfaction than to have opportunities like the present of being received at the festive board of the corporation of this great city. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said a pleasing duty had de volved upon him. He had no doubt the present Lord Mayor would perform the onerous and responsible duties of his office in such a way as to add to the esteem and affection withwhich he was regarded by his fellow-citizens, and ho therefore proposed that they should drink th• "Health of the Lord Mayor." (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR was warmly received on rising to re. turn thanks. He could assure his fellow-citizens that he felt the same anxiety on entering upon his year of office which his esteemed predecessor had described, and that his best exertions should be given to maintain the dignity and hospitality of the corporation, and to discharge the duties of his high office. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYCR said that the maintenance of the most cordial relations with foreign Stites was desirable, and to this end foreign Ministers and representatives were necessary. They were honoured by the presence of several members of the corps diplonvatique, and he begged to pro pose their health in connection with that of the Brazilian Minister. (Cheers.) The BRAZILIAN MINISTER rose and spoke as follows My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen,— In the name of the diplomatic body of which I have the honour to be the re presentative on this occasion, I have to return my cordial thanks for the toast which has been just given by the Lord Mayor. The corps diplonzatique, whose presence here is the symbol of the good relations which subsist among the nations, see in the feast which inaugurates the election of your chief magistrate a special motive for taking part in the rejoicings which reign in this hall. Charged with the duty of reconciling the lawful interests of their respective countries when unfortunately in conflict, the representa tives of foreign powers are nevertheless the agents of peace, the only sure basis of the civilisation, wealth, and pros perity of nations.

It was thought at that period that there had been so great an infusion of the democratic element into the House of Commons that it would not re strict itself within the limits prescribed by the constitu tion. Now, however, they were told that the House of Commons had fallen into a state of inefficiency, but he thought he could confidently appeal to the course pursued by the House of late years as a sufficient answer to the ac cusation. (Cheers.)

The LORD MAYOR said he was instructed by the Lady Mayoress to say that she was greatly indebted to his lord ship and the company for the kind manlier in which the toast had been prcposed and received. The Lady Mayoress wished him to assure the company that nothing should be wanting on her part to uphold the hospitality of the City of London. The concluding toasts were " Sir P. Thesiger and the bar," " Sir J. Duke and the members of the city of Lon don," and " Mr. Alderman Wire and the Magistrates of the City." Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster with his usual effi. ciency. Among the vocalists were Miss Birch, Miss Eyles, and the members of the Orpheus Glee Union. The bard of the Coldstream Guards, under the superintendence of Mr. Goirrev. were also in , Ittenilance, an ,l p , ,forma,i come excellent eel:,et:ene I_l n - rit i other c . The Lord Mayor and the piinoipal guests then retired, and the comp a ny repaired to the various lobbies and chambers of the Guildhall, which were decorated with groat taste and mag nificence. The Mbies at the south entrancv iato the Guildhall were lined with an imitation of the Bayeaux tapestry, paiated by Mr. C. Fenton. Next the walls commencing at the entrance door were arranged figures of men in armour and trophies from the 13th century, con eluding with tho Minie rifle as the latest improvement in military weapons. The first lobby, after passing through the banqueting. hall, contained a statue of the " eagle slayer," by Bell, and a statue of " Genius chained," by Durham. On the north side of the aldermen's court-room a large temporary conservatory was fitted up, in the centre of which was a colossal statue of Australia by Bell, backed up with a picture representing Melbourne, painted by Mr. F. Fenton. In the yard on the western side of the alderman's room was a representation of the Stanbach, near Inter lachen, in Switzerland, also painted by Mr. Frederick Fen ton. In the alderman's room was a bust of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, by Lough ; the statue of Dorothea, by Bell ; and Whittington, by Cracow. In the committee room, adjoining the Council chamber, were placed a bust of her Majesty, and statues of the Princess Louisa and the Princess Helena on either side, by Mr. and Mrs. Thorney croft. In a niche in the Council-chamber were displayed the marble bust of the Queen, by Durham, presented to the Corporation by Sir Francis G. Moon, on retiring from his mayoralty in 1855 ; also a picture of the late Lord Mayor, Mr. David Salmons, by Hart. A complete range of mirrors was also fixed at the west end of the banquet. ing hall, reflecting the entire hall and banquet, and numer• ous banners, mirrors, and choice plants, were also taste fully arranged in the various lobbies and passages. Danc ing commenced in the Council-chamber after the banquet, and was continued for some time under the disadvantages of confined space and a great crowd. THE MINISTER OF•PIjBLIC WORKS AND Tlll • METROP O.I;MN BOARD. THE DEPUTATION ON TFIE SOUTHWARK IMPROVE vIENTS.. Yesterday the deputation appointed by the Mkre. politan Board of Works to carry up the plan for the new street through Seuthwark, to relieve the traffic through the City, waited upon the Right Hoe. Sir Ben• jamin Hall at his office in Whitehall-place, to present the plan for his sanction under the provisions of the act of parliament. The deputation consisted of Mr. John Thwaites, the president ; .I.lr. Alexander Wraght, Mr Charles Harris, Mr. Bazelgette, engineerio chief ; Mr. E H. Wooltych, secretary; and Mr. Marrable, the superintending archi tect of the board. There were two other deputations of inhabitants who claimed to be heard before the chief cornruissioner, objecting to the plan of the metropolitan board. Mr. THWAITES having introduced the deputation, Sir B. HALL called attention to tl:e discrepancy which had taken place between the statement of Mr. Bozelgette and that of the Erith deputation on the sulsjec: of the main drainage as to the distance of the outfall marked B from the metropolitan b undary. Mr. BAZALGETTE said when there fhe othar day be' stated the distance of the proposed outfall to he one mile and a quarter from the metropolitan boundary ou the south Rids, and not two miles and a half. Sir B. HALL—I certainly understood Mr. Bazaloette to say the distance was two miles and a half. Mr. BAZALGETTE—Two miles and a half below Wool wich but one and a quarter from the metropolitanbouto dary. Sir B. HALL measured it on the plan, and said it ap peared to him to be just a mile. There was one i inportan t point, however, upon which he wanted information, and that was, bad the Metropolitan Board any calculation as to the amount of sewage discharged into the Thames from each side of the river / Mr. BAZAIdETTE—Yes. There is about 7 million and a quarter hphic feet of sewage discharged into the Thames per day— 6 millions on the north side and ono million and a quarter on the south. Sir B. HALL said they would now take theSouthwark improvements, beginning at London-bridge. Mr. THWAITES said, before entering upon the plan, he would just observe that the act which at propriates one of the 30,0001. in the hands of Government for this purpose, distinctly pointed to an opening from London bridge to Stamford-street. Believing, therefore, that to be the intention of Parliament, the Metropolitan Board had constructed their line iu accordance with it. The line, it would be observed, began slightly below the obelisk in Wellington-street, at the south corner of York-street, without interfering with St. Saviour's Church, continuing on the north tide across Red Lion street and Counter-street, avoiding the Borough-market, which being corporate property would be very expenaiee. It then avoids a clump of almshouses caged the College Alrnsliouees, having a burial-ground and a church in the centre, passing ciose to Messre. Barclay and Perkins's brewe r y, w hi c h occu pied 11 acm, and which. was not touched ; ac, if it were, the outlay would exceed the cost or the - iiiitire thoroughfare. It then passed on to the Southwark bridge-road, taking off a small part of Messrs. Pott's extensive vinegar work., thence to the north of AI.-sir.i. Easton and Amos's ironfoundrv, continuing its curse to the south-west angle of some re her almshouses, and on to a point marked on the plan B in the Reckfriars road, exactly opposite Stamford street. Mr. Thwaites con tinued to say that although upon the plan tip, street ap peared to present a considerable curve, still upon the large scale of its construction it would be scarcely per ceptible, but it was absolutely necessary in order to avoid the enormous expense of trenching upon the valuatde properties he had r ferred to. The proposed width of the street was 70 feet from front to front, with 12 feet footpath on either side. Sir B. HALL could assure them that he had bad a great many people coming to him upon the subject. He had been thinking very deeply upon it, and now he: had got the plan agreed to by the board, he would set to work at it that afternoon and endeavour to give his an swer by Thursday, which would only be three days io the whole for him to go into the sutject. It would he as well that the Metropolitan Beard should have its Parliamentary notices prepared far the newspapers and advertised. If he (Sir B. Hall) could not assent, the only expense would be that of the notices. Mr. WOOLRYCH observed that the notices must be sent to the Surrey papers on Wednesday, as they were published on Thursday. Mr. THWAITES thought, with a little judicious action on both the part of the Chief Commissioner and the ta.ard, they might save this session. Sir B. HALL was most anxious to prevent so important a matter going over to another session, and would do ail he could to prevent it. Mr. THWAITES knew the whole district so well, that he was quite sure the more it was inquired into, the more those who did so would approve of it. It was so arranged, that whenever there might be a new bridge erected between Westminster and London, this line of street would be available. Sir B. HALL observed, that as to Westminster Bridge, it would no doubt be befae Parliament the next cession. As he had no other deputations, it might be advisable that they should inform him what objections they knew likely to be urged against this plan of the board. Mr. Tnwarrxssaid there was one plan which proposed to pass between that of the Metropolitan Board's plan and the river, which was objectionable, as it took down a portion of the Borough-market and of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's brewery. It also passed where the levels for the sewers were taken, and was 18 feet below the surface of Southwark-bridge-road. There was another proposal that the street should commence further down the Borough, taking away the clamp of houses and the old Town-hall. Some bad an idea also that it should commence at Union-street, through the narrow streets to the New-cut, and so on to the Waterloo-road. The objection the board felt to these proposals was that they would not be able to get a first-class street likely to let for building purposes, such as they proposed. The es timate for the street was 320,0041. Mr. MARRABLE begged to add that Messrs. Barclay and Perkins approved of the plan of the board. Mr. THWAITES said that there was another reason for making the opening of the street where they proposed, and that was the probability of the entire site of St. Thomas's Hospital being purchased by the railway com panies for an extension of their terminus. The deputation from the Metropoltan Board then re tired. The second deputation consisted of Mr. Newsom, Mr. Tomk ins, Mr. Myland, Mr. .Monery, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Newman, on the part of the inhabitants of High street, Southwark, introduced by Mr. Harris, member of the Metropolitan Board of Works for the district. Mr. NEWSOM said the inhabitants of the Borough were seriously affected by the stoppage of the thorough. fare, which commenced at the narrow part, caused by the projecting clump of houses, commencing with the Town Hall. Instead of the opening far the new street commencing at York-street, they desired that the open ing should be lower down to the south, including the removal of the projecting clump of houses, as al o the Town Hall. This plan could be carried out at an esti mated cost of 41,009/ less than the plan proposed by the Metropolitan Beiixel. It was something like Mr. Penne. ammo's plan, which eeas generally approved. Sir B. HALL said all .129 could do was to approve of the plans generally, if be felt it his duty to sanction them at all, and then it would be Leff; with the locality to use its influence with the Metropolitan Board, to could carry out the line at any point not beyond the lines of deviation marked out on their plan. The deputation thanked Sir B. Hall for his courtesy and withdrew. The third deputation described itself as an windep en r. - dent" deputation; and consisted of Mr. Vicars, ivi M r. Richardson, Mr. Slee, Mr. Benbow, Mr. Robinson,lforthe Jordan, and Mr. Taylor, the projector of a new line referred to by Mr. Thwaites, p assinP.ganbetween the plan of the Metropolitan Board of W orks and the River, The Spokesman said, as inhabitants of th . e , d is trict all 1 iin - 4,ta they wetted was the best plat, :,-r"las the .

In answer to questions from Sir B. Hall, although the plaP showed that it was proposed to take down part of PRIOI4 4D. STAMPED - Barclay and 'Perkins's brewery, and to pass under the Southwark -bridge-road. Mr. TAYLOR now said that he proposed to cross Southwark-bridge -road on a level, the height being 16 feet at . that point. Sir B. HALL then inquired for the details of the plan showing the gradients of the ascent and descent to and from the South wark-bridge-road. Mr. TAYLOR said he had not prepared them, but would have them ready in the course of a couple of days. Sir B. HALL begged to inform the deputation that be had only till Thursday to give his decision upon the en tire plans for the Southwark improvements, and here was a proposal to ascend and descend to and from South wark bridge-road, and a mere superficial plan had been laid before hiee ' without any i n f ormat i on upon th a t point which was of the first and highest importance, as it stood to reason that the effect of raising a road 16 feet, which he thought was more likely to be from 20 to 25 feet to the top of Southwark-bridge-road, would be to leave the rest of the neighbourhood in a perfect swamp. He would ask what would the inhabitants of that neighbourhood say were he to sanction such a plan ? Mr. R.IC7ARIDS expressed his astonishment a the state ' merit made by Mr. Taylor, as he and his colleagues die tinctly understood that there were to be no gradients, nut that they were to pass westwerd by means of an arch under the Southwark-bridge-road. The fact was, the deputation had been sold. (Laughter.) Sir J. HALL—But if you go under Southwark-bridge.. road by means of an arch how is the traffic over South wark-bridge to get into the main line of street ? Mr. VICKERS—They will have to go round to it a little distance. Sir B, lIALL said be had no hesitation in saying that the plan produced was in ,, Ft olj , cuoLable, arid hr sh , u'd like to ask th. ghati,,mrtr preseut whether th,,y wflu'd hke their property to be , - , 1 4.,Z13p by-t 1.1: orallLis propo,,ed ?

Yesterday wereported the trouble that had been caused at Portsmouth and Gosport' by the disorganised state and riotous proceedings of the British German Legion, or a portion of it, now stationed at the camp at Brown down, five miles from Gosport. The proceedings on Saturday were of the most riotous character. The win dows of private houses were wantonly broken at Gos port, and eeveral civilians arci British soldiers ill-used. I n Po sea the state of matters was almost worse. A quarrt ',ensued between some of the men of the legion, who wr:.'e drinking together at a beer-house in a street °died White's-row, and a souffle and fight was the re-ult. Knives were used, and fit ally one man -of the legion was so severely stabbed I hat he died a . most instantaneously. The embarkation of 1,200 men of tee legion was fixed for Monday, but the proceedings of Saturday evening-were of so riotous a character as to render it a matter of the greatest danger to allow the men to remain on shore another night. The civil por. tion of the community 10, ked forward, indeed, to Sunday night with alarm. Happily the authorities determined to embark the men on Sunday afteincAbn, and accord ingly marched them from Browedowni at half -past two, and at halt-past four they arrived at the dockyard for embarkation on board the Sultana and Culloden. Net a moment was lot in betting them on board ; they all being embarked in at.oul a quarter of an hnnr. The men on this , occasion, inileea, were very pe,ceable and well conducted. They numbered about 800, probably the steadier men of the detachment for embarkation on that day, vs the others necessary to make up the total of 1,200 were straggling about the town. Ample measures had, ho wever, been taken to preserve order and the safety of the dockyard. The ordinary military guard had been doubled or trebled. The jetties from which the Germans embarked were guarded by 30 or 40 men of the line each, w ith fixed bayonets, - &c , whilst, in addition to the ordi nary guard - around Vie . dockyard, there was a strong reserve of upwards of 100 men, who' had strict orders to quell the slightest disturbance. So good were the arrangements that in a minute or two there could have been brought to bear a tremendous force of troops, marines, &c., irrespective of those who were immediately charged with the preservation of peace, and who themselves would have been more than equal to t:ic , task '_'!i.e ember! ation nun •bsing - clinpleted, the w:re i:omedir,t6l:7-tasbed cn to steam tug: that up co puipo,;c tiley Were at (nice taken 'out to Spith ea d. Th e ships left the dockyard within half an hour of the troops arriving dare. In the evening strong picquets were sent from every PORTSMOUTH POL 'CE COIFRT—MoNDAY. The borough bench has been occupied all the after noon—the magistrates being Major Travers, Mr. Pratt, and Mr. Carter—in bearing the case of, manslaughter committed on Saturday night. The ntn- who met his death on this occasion was a privat e , named Richard Dehr, and the man charged with the cr i me i s Auguste Winkler, b.th being about 24 years of age. A knife, with which the stab was supposed to have been perpetrated, ,tas produced. It is a large clasp knife, and had, it ap peared belonged to the deceased, and was taken away from him in the scuffle.. The wound which was the cause of death was on the inside of the left thigb, just below the grain. The prisoner, through an interpreter. denied his guilt. He was commi;ted to take his trial fol manslaughter at the ensuing assizes for Hants, at Winchester. The cause of the quarrel appears to have been a rival as to the hinour4 ' , fa female, in consequence (4 the ~ , c .Nrigements het ou. by Government to the f!,!,rl;.

Mr. Cumberland having bri:4ly stlted the nature of the prose-dingo, Capt. Wm. Stratt entered upon a statement respecting his nautical services under the company far a period of 18 years, from July, 1844, as m id s hi pman, third officer, second fficer, and commander. During the whole of his service at sea he had never met with any mishap until the loss of the Tay, to the command of which he was appointed in May last. He then stated that they left Havannah on the 25th•of August, and described the course pursued thence till the morning when the vessel stranded. He also put in the night order-book, in which the order of course was entered. He left the deck at , about 11 o'clock the night before the ship struck, leaving directions hew the vessel was to be steered ; returned at a quarter to 2, and remained till the ship struck at ton minutes past 5. After the chief officer came on deck at 4 o'clock, witness dozed off on one of the seats, and dreamed that the vessel had struck just as it occurred afterwards. He started up. It was then a quarter to 5. Went forward to the forecastle, where the chief officer was. The first glimpse of daylight was then showing. Witness. noticed something on the horizon, and then ran to get his glass. The vessel struck almost immediately. The witness described the various steps taken after the vessel had stranded, the despatch of . the mails to Tampico, Ica. Witness • attributed the disaster to the influence of an extraordinary current running southward, the said current having been caused by a heavy hurricane which it - was subsequently learned had blown on the 276 h and 23th of August, on the north side of Cuba. Such a hurricane passing from S.E. or E S.E. w,mld produce what, was known as a "storm wave," which latter, preceded by a large body of water, would continue its course until it broke upon some . shore, however distant. The Tay, passing a dangerous part, of the coast exactly at the time the " storm-wave" was approaching, felt the effects of its current without warning, and just struck in time to exp er i ence t h e disas trous eff.-cts of the way, itself. Mr. W. T. Rawer, third officer, Mr. Herbert, second efficer, and other witne4ses, also Lieut. Stewart, R.N., Admiralty officer in charge of the mails on board the Tey, having been examined, and expressed a similar opinion (as to the cause of the vessel's stranding, the inquiry was adjourned. The inquiry into the logs of the Royal Mail steamer Tay was requmed yesterday morning, at the Greenvtioh Police Court, brfora Mr. Trail, the magistrate, and Cap• tain Robertson, R.N.

When the ship had to run a given distance it wag u,tral to use the patent log, so as to confirm their calculations. Knew Captain Strutt to be a careful officer. Captain! Liott, one of the managers of the company, said the disuse of the log was a strong act of disobe dience of the company's regulation. The company had never permitted the working of the ship by the rate which the engineer's nave the officers of the watch. It could not he accurate. He entertained a strong opinion as to whether the lead ought not to have been used ao cording to the company's regulations. Captain Robertson said that was only where the cap tain entertained a doubt. In this instance Captain Strait bad a strong belief that he was much further off the land than he was ; indeed 20 miles from the land. After some further unimportant remarks, the inquiry closed. The court remarked that they were satisfied as to the existence of the current spoken of, but it would be a matter of consideration for their report to the Board of Trade whether the captain had observed the usual regu lations and precautions in navigating the ship. We have to announce the death of Lieut.-General Sir J. Holt, K.C.8., Colonel of th e 2d (or Queen ' s) Royal Regiment, which appointme n t i s ren d ered vacant by his demise. Sir J. Holt's death will, coupled with those of Lord Harding° and the late Gen. Jones, create a vacancy in the list of general officers, by which Col. Greases, late on the staff in Ireland, becomes a Major-General ; Lieut. Colonel Alves, of the Depot at Preston, Colonel ; and Major Hickey, of the filth Foot, Lieut.-Colonel. SERVICES OF LIFE B OATS. - 7 - RAIISGATE, Nov. 6.—On the 4th inst., at 10 15 p.m , the light vessels fired alarm guns with rocket signals, and being as usual all ready, the steamer Aid, and the Northumberland life-beat, bw• longing to the Ramsgate Royal Harbour Trust, were at sea in exactly 11 m i nutes. They proceeded to the Gull Light-vessel for instructions, and then made way in the direction pointed out to them. They skirted the whole of the shoal, but saw no signal of distress or vessel.
