The proceedings are published at length, including every thing worthy of mention ex cept one, and that is the ladies (God bless them !) who, during the hours of speech-making and toast drinking, inspired the occasion by their presence in the hall near. Many a bright eye glistened and many a beautiful face glowed with rapture, as the suc cessive sentiments occurred. There was one that wept. The mention of those sweet cherubs who are so very very dear to her heart, and which she has left behind her in a far distant land, called up a thousand associations and awakened a' mother's love. She wept—who would not under such circumstances ? The health of those little babes, the offspring of our illustrious guest and his partner, was drank, and a mother's sympathies were touched—we mean Mrs. Dickens. - The compliment was a grateful one, and it was gratefully received.

MY DEAR SIR,—In reply to yoUr question respecting the effect of your solution upon the sails and awnings of the vessel. of the Niger Expedition, the canvas of vt hieh was steeped in it before they were made, I have much pleasure in being able to state that they were most effectually preserved from mildew, and this after as severe a trial as canvas could well undergo, being alternately exposed, during several months, to heavy rains and a burning sun, with the thermometer sometimes at 93 deg., and generally much above 80 deg. I am, my dear Sir, H. DUNDAS TROTTER, Captain R.N. Sir Win. Burnett, K.C.H. Ramsgate,Dee. 20, 1841. beg to acquaint you that, agreeably to your request, I have examined the sails on board the Gull steam light vessel, the which were prepared with Sir William Burnett's Patent So lution, and were put on board in September, 1840, since which time they have been kept on the deck, and exposed to the weather; notwithstanding which, they are still in as good a condition as when first put on board ; they are free from mil dew, and have no appearance of any decay whatever. Unpre pared sails under similar circumstances would have been in a decayed state, and rendered quite unserviceable. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) R. DAVIS. Jacob Herbert, Esq., Secretary, Trinity Board. It is cheap and simple in its application. Timber, Deals, &c., &e., Canvas, Sails, and Ropes will be prepared at the Company's Station at Limehouse, at a small expense ; or the preparation may be purchased for use, under license or other wise, at a rate that will give persons, who are disposed to enter into it as a branch of trade, ample profits.

GREAT SELLING OFF,by Mr. FOSTER, the ACCOUNTANT. MR. FOSTER has instructions to submit for SALE,in Lots, as prepared for Auction, 27,0001. worth of LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, being the Stock adver tised for Auction on the Premises, CORNER of FLEET STREET and FARRINGDON-STREET, trading under the firm of HEBBLEWH/TE and CO., notice having been given that an auction is not permitted by the lease. Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the original cost, the object being to clear the whole off the premises, and any portion remaining must of necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies are soli cited to make allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. The linens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:_ s. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. 6d. to 2s. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About 850 of his curiously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for . . 4O 0 1,000 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which are some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheetings and table-linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried on for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but tine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliity. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2e. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in convenient a further reduction will be mada in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 64. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings. Mr. Foster wants an offer for the following lots from the trade :—Ribands, as per book, 1,830/.; lace, as per book, 640/. ; gloves, as per book, 143/, All the other goods will be sold as usual in selling-off stock s. d. The blankets will be sold, two yards long (larger sizes In proportion), the pair 4 0 A lot of blankets, that weigh eight pounds, will be sold, _ _ the pair V 8 0 A bale of counterpanes, many near three yardslong, will be sold, all each About 800 expensive quilts, that cost 21s. to 255., will be all sold, each...... ......... lO 6 160 dozen of cambric handkerchiefs, worth Is. 9d. each, will be sold by the dozen, only at ... 9 6 A lot of lawn ditto, will be reduced to, the dozen ...... 4 9 Horiock's long cloths, usually sold to the trade at 6d per yard, will be sold, 40 yards for l2 6 Prints will be reduced all under 4s. 6d. the dress, to All Sherriffs and Cobden's best prints, usually so expen sive, will be sold, the dress 1,400 shawls, and 600/. worth of furs will be sold at any rea sonable price that may be offered. Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies may depend that every article will fully answer the description given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. The prin cipal part of the stock having been kept in their wholesale ware houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle will exist in the way of price ; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when it ex ceeds 10/. Hebblewhite and Co.'s Warehouse, 105, Fleet street, corner of Farringdon-street. Mr. Foster particularly directs the attention of families re quiring Carpets—many superb patterns in rich Brussels will be sold without reference to the cost; good qualities at 2s. 6d. and 2s. 9il. per yard ; several lots of good wide Kiddermin ster, excellent qualities, Is. 4d. and Is. 9d. Observe, the sale is now on at Hebblewhite and Co.'s Warehou ses , 105, Fleet-street, corner of Faringdon-street. Omnibuses pass by every five minutes from all parts of thz. , town.

The dinner given to Charles Dickens, Esq., by. the citizens of Hartford, took place at the City Hotel, on Tuesday evening, the Bth instant. It was a splendid affair, and gave the highest satisfaction, both to the illustrious guest, and to those who assembled on the occasion to pay him a tribute of respect. William J. Hamersley, Esq., in the Chair. On the 'entrance of Mr. Dickens the company rose, and remained standing until a blessing was asked by the Rev. Bishop Brownell. After dinner the following toasts were given :- 1. The President of the United States. 2. The Queen of England. 3. England and the United States.—The ties of kindred, of social and commercial intercourse, of a common language, and a common literature, link them indissolubly to the cause of civilisation. 4. The Noblemen of Nature.—Those, whose great ness is created by the hand of God, we welcome them from every class, and every land. S. The Poor and the Oppressed.—Let them rejoice that genius and talent now advocate their cause. 6. Literature.—That neutral ground on which men of every clime meet in peaceful homage to the intellect. The regular toasts were received with great en thusiasm ; after which, Mr. HAIHERSI;EY rose, and addressed the company as follows:—Gentlemen, we are justly - proud of our own young. and vigorous literature, ana in the indul gence of a commendable national feeling, are desirous of using every honourable effort to cherish and pro mote its growth ; but we are not therefore the less conscious that for some of our keenest intellectual en joyments we are indebted to the literature of Eng land; her poets, her orators, her historians, and her philosophers, have instructed and improved us, and that "bright particular star" of her literary firma ment, William Shakspere, exercises an influence as abiding and unlimited among us, as in the land which gave him birth— " Deep in the west, as Independence roves, His banner's planting 'round the land he loves, Where nature sleeps, in Eden's infant grace. In time's full hour shall spring a glorious race ; His name, his fame, his language, shall they be a r And rear for him the vaulted temple there Again in him, shall Albion's sceptre wave, And what her mighty Lion lost, her mightier SWAN shall save." —(Applause.) But, Gentlemen, the intellectual in fluence of England is not confined to those writers who have finished their earthly career, the vitality of their works being yet unimpaired—her living authors have furnished a Peirian spring, from which we have drank and been refreshed ; among those authors are many who have acquired an exalted reputation in the various departments of literature ; but I am free to say, and to say it with the most perfect confidence, and the most entire sincerity, that among them all there breathes not the man whom we would welcome with such heartfelt enthusiasm as the distinguished guest towards whom we have the high gratification of extending our hospitalities this evening.—(Loud cheering.) We have been enabled to trace the course of many writers, from the feebler effusions of their early years to the more finished efforts of advanced manhood ; but our gifted and youthful guest sprang into public existence before our delighted vision like Minerva from the brain of Jove, completely clad in intellectual panoply.—(Applause.) The writings of no author, I will not except Sir Walter Scott himself, have been so universally read at the time of their pub lication, as those of the gentleman to whom allusion has just been made, as they have been received in this country in detached parts, they have been seized by the periodical press, and scattered broadcast over the Union, and as each work has been completed, it has been issued from the presses of various publishing houses in the country, again to be read by those who had already perused it in numbers, or to be devoured by others, who had postponed the gratification of their mental appetites until toe whole rich' feast could be spread at once before their view.—(Applause.) Gen tlemen, we are assembled as the admirers of our guest, and of his writings—we admire the latter, on ac count of the wonderful powers of description and imagir ation they display—we admire them for their playful satire and amusing humour—we admire them on account of the accurate knowledge of human cha racter they evince, and for the passages of exquisite beauty that are to be found gleaming and glistening along their pages; but, Gentlemen, we especially dmire them, because of the broad, bright, pure, deep stream of human affection that runs through the ideal world he has created for us—(Continued applause)—a world blooming with verdure, blushing with flowers, and prolific of blessed fruits.—(Applause.) We ad mire the Man, because, leaving to others the trappings o f i ank, and the magnificence of wealth, he has taken us among the poor, and the humble, and from among those classes, has held up, for our imitation and ad miration, bright examples of all the better elements of the human character, of unpretending virtue, tried, and triumphant ; virtue, that invests wyle moral dignity and beauty the character of Oliver Twist, the poor house boy; virtue, that wins all hearts, in the person of sweet little Nell, the beautiful and earl v called.- -(Enthusiastic applau4 , .) The writings of our most cherished and welcome guest, distinguished as they - are by the characteristics to which allusion has been made, are in the most comprehensive, and best sense of the term, popular ; and permit me to add,- Gentlemen, that the time is fast approaching, if it has not already arrived, when his will be the most desirable fame, whose highest aim shall be to assert the rights, to advance the interests, to improve the capacities, or to cultivate the affections of the people.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, I propose the " Health of Charles Dickens." Elected by the world's suffrage to an ele vated station in the great republic of letters, his fame is written on the heart, and the head approves the record. This sentiment was received with long, loud, con tinuous, and enthusiastic applause. After the cheering had subsided, Mr. DieKeNs rose and remarked—Gentlemen, to say that I thank you for the earnest manner in which you h ave drank. the toast just now so eloquently proposed to you to say. that 1 give you back your kind wi s h es an d good feel ings with more than compound interest ; and that I feel how dumb and powerless the best acknowledg ment would be beside such genial hospitality as yours —is nothing. To say that in this winter season, flowers have sprung up in every footsteps' length of the path, which has brought me here ; that no coun try ever smiled more pleasantly than yours has smiled on me ; and that I have rarely looked upon a brighter summer prospect than that which lies before me now —is nothing.—(Applause.) But it is something to be no stranger in a strange place ; to feel, sitting at a board for the first time, the ease and - affections of an old guest ; and to be at once on such intimate terms with the family, as to have a homely genuine interest in its every member—it is, I say, something to be in this novel and happy ,frame of mind ; and as it is of your creation, and owes its being to you, I have no reluctance in urging it as a reason why, i n tddress ing you, I should not so much consult the form and fashion of my speech, as I should employ that universal language of the heart, which you, and such as you, best teach, and best can understand. Gentlemen, in that universal language—common to you in America, and to us in England, as that younger mother tongue, which, by the means and through the happy union of our two great countries shall be spoken, ages hence, by land and sea, over the wide surface of the globe— I thank you. I had occasion, Gentlemen, to say the other night in Boston, as I have more than once had occasion to remark before, that it is not easy for an author to speak of his own books. If the task be a difficult one at any time, its difficulty certainly is not diminished when a frequent recurrence to the same theme has left one nothing new to say. Still I feel that in a company like this, and especially after what has been said by the President, that I ought not to pass lighty over those labours of love, which, if they had no other merit, have been the happy means of bringing us together. It has been often observed, that you cannot judge of an author's personal cha racter from his writings; it may be that you cannot —I think it very likely, for many reasons, that you cannot—but, at least, a reader will rise from the pe rusal of a book with.some defined and tangible idea of the writer's moral creed and broad purposes, if he has any at all ; and it is probable enough that he may like to have that idea confirmed from the author's lips, or dissipated by his -explanation. Gentlemen, my moral creed—which is a very wide and comprehen sive one, and includes all sects and parties—is very easily summed up. I have faith, and I wish to diffuse faith in the existence—yes, of beautiful things even in those conditions of society, which one so degene rate, degraded, and forlorn, that at first sight it would seem as though they could only be described by a strange and terrible reversal of the words of Scrip ture—" God said let there be light, and there was none." I take it—that we are born, and that we hold our sympathies, hopes, and energies, in trust for the many, and not for the few. That we cannot hold in too strong a light of disgust and contempt, before the view of others, all meanness, falsehood, cruelty, and oppression, of every grade and kind. Above all, that nothing is high, because it is in a high place; and that, nothing is low, because it is in a low one.— (Loud Applause.) This is the lesson taught us in the great book of nature. This is the lesson which may he read, alike in the bright track of the stars, and in the dusty course of the poorest thing that drags its tiny length upon the ground. This is the lesson ever uppermost in the thoughts of that inspired man, who tells us that there are— " Tongues in the trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything." —(Cheers." Gentlemen, keeping the objects steadily before me, I am at no loss to refer your favour and your generous hospitality back to the right source. hand, th a t if, instead of little for your smiles or Ni,brrihonnigige,,,llkasnthoiotwu is,d care on t s h oneeyweerrye a land of tyranny and frowns, so I am sure, upon the other, that if, instead of being what I am, I were the greatest genius that ever trod the earth, and had exerted my self for the oppression and degradation of mankind, you would despise and reject Inc. I hope you will, whenever through such means, I give you the oppor tunity. Trust me that, whenever you give me the like occasion, I will return the compliment, with interest. Gentlemen, as I have no secrets from you, in the spirit of confidence you have engendered between us, and as I have made a kind- of compact with myself that I never will, while I remain in America, omit an opportunity of referring to a topic in which I and all others of my class on both sides of the great water, are equally interested —equally interested, there is no difference between us—l would beg leave to whis per in your ear two words,, international copyright. I use them in no sordid sense, believe me, and those who know me best, best know that. For myself, I would rather that my children, coming after me, trudged in the mud, and knew by the general feeling of society, that their father was beloved and had been of some use, than I would have them ride in their carriages and know by their banker's books that he was rich. But Ido not see, I confess, why one should he obliged to make the choice, or why- Fame, beside playing that delightful reveillie for which she is so justly celebrated, should not blow out of her trum pet a few notes of a different kind from those with which she has hitherto contented herself. It was well observed the other night by a beautiful speaker, whose words went to the heart of every man who heard him, that if there had existed any law in this respect, Scott might not have sunk beneath the mighty pressure on his brain, but might have lived to add new creatures of his fancy to the, crowds which wound about you in your summer walks, and gather round your winter evening hearths. As I listened to his words, there came back, fresh upon me, that touching scene in the g rea t man ' s lif e , when he lay upon his couch, surrounded by his family, and listened for the last time to the rippling of the river he had so well loved, over its stony bed. I pic tured him to myself, faint, wan, dying, crushed both in mind and body by his honourable struggle, and hovering round him, the phantom of his own Imagina tion, Waverley, Ravenswood, Jeanie Deans, Rob Roy, Caleb Balderstone, Dominie Sampson—all the fami liar throng—with cavaliers, and puritans,_ and High land chiefs innumerable, overflowing the chamber, and fading away in the dill distance beyo n d—I pic tured them fresh from traversing the world, and hanging down their heads in shame and sorrow, that from all those foreign lands into which they had car ried gladness, instruction, and delight for millions, they biought him not one friendly hand to help to raise him fromthat from land that sad,in whichs d I his)ed . own langua g e was o, nor brought him spoken, and in every house and hut at which his own books were read in his own tongue, one grateful dollar-piece to buy a garland for his grave. 0 ! if every man who goes from here, as many do, to look upon that tomb in Dryburgh Abbey, would but re member this, and bring the recollection home ! Gentlemen—l thank you again, and once again, and many times to that. You have given me a new are nearest are rasyt birth-day, and dearest reason for remembering this day, which i s already and o y one of ou m h a a r v k e i g n iv m e y n c th al o e s n e d l e v r i , lo it being to me a new reason for recollecting it with pride and interest. Heaven knows that, although I should grow ever so grey, I shall need nothing to remind me of this epoch in my life. But I am glad to think that from this time you are inseparably connected with every recurrence of this day ; and that on its periodical return I shall always, in imagination, have the unfading pleasure of entertaining you as my guests, in return for the gratification you have af forded me to-night. , England Weekly Review The Editor of the Nen makes the following remarks :—" It is needless for us to say any more about the dinner to Charles Dickens, Esq., than to refer our readers to the columns of our THE GRAND LITERARY, FASHIONABLE, LEGAL, JUDICIAL, AND MISCELLANE OUS DINNER TO " BOZ" ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AT THE CITY HOTEL. Brighter and brighter shines the sun of Charles Dickens's popularity. The interest in his movements, and the desire to see, hear, talk to, eat and drink with him, instead of diminishing, increases daily. After the Boz Ball on Monday night, and the tremen, dous excitement occasioned by it, many thought that the exhaustion consequent on it, and other little mat ters, would produce a reaction. Not a bit of it. Although Boz has been extremely sick, and con fined to the house ever since the night of the ball, he has been besieged by a dozen of applications to go out to private parties—to dinner, supper, breakfast, dejeune a la fourehette—anything and everything to be dined, and wined, and done everything to, but to be let alone. However his sickness has been his ex cuse, and he has thus far escaped any serious infliction. But sick or well, nothing could excuse him from the great dinner last night, given to him by his ad mirers at the City Hotel ; and this, by the by, was one of the most sensible movements that has yet been made in relation to him since his arrival here. Who the original projectors of it were we do not exactly know : but believe that Charles A. Davis, Prescott Hall, Anthony Barclay, John Duer, M. 11. Grinnell, Henry Brevoort, Fitz-Greene Halleck, and one or two others, were the primemovers in carrying it out to perfection ; and a most splendid affair it was. The chair was taken by Washington Irving ; on his right sat Charles Dickens, the honoured guest ; on his left sat the Rev. Mr.- Bellows. Along this table sat his Honour the Mayor and other well-known in dividuals ; the Mayor being the only layman who was an invited guest that attended. After the last course was cleared off, "Non Nobis" was sung. Then WASHINGTON halm; rose and said—l never regretted more than I do at this moment my total want of the habit of public speaking. For I feel that I could now wish to give way to the whole current of my thoughts and feelings ; and yet I feel that I am like a poor horseman, and that I must be careful how I get into the saddle or I shall be thrown from my seat. And yet, on further consideration, Ido not see much cause to regret this inability of mine to interest you in this way ; for I feel that there will be no want of champions ready to take my place ; see so many of them around me at this moment firmly seated in their saddle, and who find it difficult to rein in their steeds, until the signal is given them to start. So, therefore, I leave the field, and with a few prelimi nary remarks I will dispose of my part of the subject. And yet, I never rose under deeper or more pleasur able excitement, or with more feelings of pride as an author, as I now look around with pride upon this assembly of my townsmen, met to greet the arrival of an author among them. I never was more proudly conscious of the intellectual character of my country men than in witnessing this burst of enthusiasm, which has been echoed from city to city, to welcome a mere literary visitor to our land.—(Cheers.) Anti this, too, at a time of great public distress, when every mind, more or less, is corroded by care, and the most prosperous among us doubts the foundation of his pro sperity. Gentlemen, this enthusiasm is of the right kind. It speaks well for the people—it speaks well for our nation. We have been accused of being sor did and of being mercenary—and too much given up to the pursuits of our mere worldly interests. But. in the Present instance, our enthusiasm has given the lie to the charge, and has spontaneously arisen in one wide-spread scene of homage paid to intellect.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is impossible for me to pro ceed—(Here Mr. Irving was almost overcome by his feelings, but the cheering and enthusiasm was most tremendous—and cries of "Go on, go on !") I find it impossible for me to make out a speech : and there fore, gentlemen, I'll give you a toast. I'll give you— " Charles Dickens, the literary guest of the nation." —(This was received with the most tremendous cheering, and three times three, and two or three " Manchesters" over. They were werry unanimous in this ere thing. The band played. Several werry enthusiastic gentlemen drank three glasses upon the strength of their admiration for Boz, and then sat down. Then, amidst great silence, and with all sorts of sensible, and sober, and unsober eyes upon him, Mr. DICKENS rose, and was received with the most enthusiastic applanse. On its subsidence he said :—Mr. President and gentlemen, I don't know how to thank you—l really don't know how. You might suppose that by dint of custom, and from the experience von have given me, this difficulty has diminished, has dwindled into nothing, but I do as sure you that the fact is exactly the reverse. Unlike that 4 w : rolling stone which gathers no moss," I have in my progress to this place collected around me such a heap of gratulation . and weight of acknowledgment, that in my power of expressing it I have grown more and more unwieldy every hour.—(Loud ap plause.) I picked up such a quantity of fresh moss, so to speak—(Laughter)—at a certain brilliant scene on Monday night, that [thought I never could, by any possibility, grow any bigger—(Great laughter) —but crowded upon that, there comes again to night a new accumulation, of such extent and magnitude, that 1 am fairly at a stand still, and can roll no more. —(Laughter, and enthusiastic applause.) Gentlemen, we know from the authorities that whenever a fairy stone, or ball, or reel of thread stopped of its own ac cord—which I do not—some catastrophe was sure to be at hand. The precedent, however, stands good in my case, for remembering the short time I have be fore me, in this land of mighty interest, and the poor opportunities 1 can at best acquire of making myself acquainted with it, I have felt it almost a duty to de cline the honours which my generous friends else where would heap, upon me, and henceforth to pass through the country more quietly. Argus himself, though he had but one mouth for all his hundred eyes, would have found the reception of a public en tertainment once a week somewhat relaxing to his vigilance and activity.—(Great laughter and ap plause.) And as I would lose no scrap or jot of the rich mines of gratification and instruction which await me, I know, on every hand, and of which I have already derived no small instalment, even from your hospitals and common gaols, I have resolved to take up my staff and go upon my way rejoicing, and for the future to shake hands with Americans, not out at parties, but at home.—(Long continued cheers.) And therefore, gentlemen, I say to-night, with a full heart, and an honest purpose, and a grateful meaning, that 1 bear with me, and shall ever bear with me, a deeper sense of your kind, affectionate, and noble greeting than it is possible to convey in words—that no European sky without, and no cheerful home within, shall ever shut out this land from my vision; that 1 shall often hear your words of welcome in my quiet room, oftenest when it is most quiet, and see your faces in the winter evening fire—that if I live to grow old, the light of this hall, and others like it, will shine as brightly in my dull eyes fifty years hence as it does to-night, and that when my course is run the sympathy you have shown to me shall be paid back and well remembered, if it so please God, in the enduring love and honour of my race.—(Loud and enthusiastic applause.) Gentlemen, one other word in reference to this tiresome first person sin gular, and I close that theme. I came here in an open, honest, and confiding spirit, if ever man did, and be cause I heartily inclined towards you—if I had felt otherwise, I should have kept away. As I came here without the admixture of the hundredth portion of a grain of base alloy—without the faintest unworthy re ference to self in any word I have ever addressed to you, or in any . sentiment I have ever interchanged with you, I claim to• night, in reference to the past, for the last time, my right in reason, truth, and ps tice, to appeal to you, as I have done on two former occasions, on a question of universal literary interest in both countries. And, gentlemen, I claim this jus tice, that I have made the appeal as one who had some right to speak and to be heard ; and that I have done so in a frank, and courteous and good-humoured spirit of deference to those who frankly, courteously, and good-humouredly differed from me in anv or in every respect.—(Loud and continued cheers. For myself, gentlemen, I have only to add, that 1 will ever be as true to you as you have been to me. —(Loud cheers.) In your enthusiastic approval of the creations of my fancy, recognised as in a glass, Your enlightened care for the happiness of the many— your tender and gentle regard ,for the afflicted and helpless—for the correction and improvement of the bad, and the encouragement and solace of the good_ the education and advancement of every member of society—(Cheers)—my constant and unceasing devo tion to the end of inv life to those ends, and to every other object, to the extent of my humble capacity, having the common good in view, shall prove to you that in this respect at least you do not mistake me, and that the light you shed upon my path was not unworthily bestowed.—(Cheers.) And now that I have said this much in reference to myself, let me have the gratification I have long expected, of saying a few words in reference to somebody else.—(Laugh ter.) There is, in this city, a gentleman, who, at the conclusion of one of my books—and I well remember that it was the " Old Curiosity Shop"—wrote to me in England a letter, so generous, so affectionate, so manly, that if I had written that book under every circumstance of disadvantage, discouragement, and difficulty, instead of with everything to cheer and urge me on, I should have found in its receipt my best and happiest reward.—(Cheers.) I answered him, and he answered me—(Laughter)—and so we kept on shaking hands autographically—(Laughter) —as if there were no ocean between us—(Laughter) —until I came here on Saturday night, longing and eager to see him.—(Cheers.) And here he sits (said Dickens, with all the velocity and volubility of a young " going, going, gone," and slapping Washington Irving on the back, with m os t extraordinary Sam Wellerish gusto, amidst most terrific laughter and cheering)—and I needn't tell you that it is the crowning circumstance to me of this night, that he is here in this capacity.—(Great cheering.) Washing ton Irving ! Why, gentlemen, I don't go up stairs to bed two nights out of seven, as I have a credible wit ness very near at hand to prove—(Here Boz gave a funny Sam Weller sort of a side look out of one eye half round at his wife, who sat behind Bryant, and laughed ; she blushed, hid her face in her handker chief, and laughed; Miss Sedgwick, who sat next her, laughed most Immoderately—the Mayor laughed in tolerably—altogether, too much for a Mayor—Judges Betts, Jones, and Tallmadge laughed 'heartily, we must not say ridiculously, else we shall be indicted, and Judge Kent might make a grave speech to Bunkam about the immorality of the press. The parson laughed, and all laughed, like true Pickwickians.) I say, Gentlemen, Ido not go to bed two nights out of any seven without taking Washington Irving under my arm up stairs to bed with me. (Here the laughter was nearly loud enough to wake the dead in the adjoining church-yard of Old Trinity) and when I don't take him, I take his ne x t o f kin—his own brother—Oliver Goldsmith.—(Cheers.) Washington Irving! Why, who but he was in my thoughts the other day as I approached your noble city, when I was looking out for the Hog's-hack, the Frying-pan, and Hell's-gate, and all those terrible places of renown, that were a terror to Dutch naviga tors !—(Laughter and cheers.) Washington Irving! Why, when I was in the birth-place of Shakspere a few years ago, whose name but his wa s th e fi rs t that was pointed out with pride upon the wall ! Diedrich Knickerbocker, and Geoffrey Crayon ! Why, where can we go that they have not been be fore us ? In the English farm house, in the peaceful village, in the crowded city, along the beautiful lanes, across the pleasant fields of England, and amidst her blessed happy homes, his name above every name rises up with rich and hallowed recollections if his virtues and talents, and like his memory will continue to be hallowed in those bright and innocent sanctuaries, until the last tick of the c l oc k o f Ti me. —(Tremendous cheering.) If we go into the country are there no Bracebridge Halls in existence ? If e visit the crowded city has Little Britain never had a chronicler ? Is there no Boar's Head in Eastcheap ? Why, gentlemen, when Mr. Crayon left England, he left sitting in a small back parlour of a certain public 'louse near that very Boar s head a man of infinite xisdom, kith a red nose and an oil-skinned hat, who vas sitting there when I came away. Yes, gentle men, it was the same man—not a man that was very like him—but the selfsame man—hi., nose in an immortal redness, and his hat in an undying glaze. (Boz said this with such inimitable naivete and humour that the whole company, ladies and all, including Wash •ngton Irving, were literally convulsed with laughter.) Why, Mr. Crayon was also on terms of intimacy in a certain village near that same Bracebridge Hall, with a certain radical fellow who went very much out at the elbow, with his hat stuffed full of old newspapers. Gentlemen, I knew the man. (Laugh ter.) He's there to this very hour, with the news papers in his hat, very much to the dissatisfaction of Nlr. Tibbitts the elder.—(Great laughter.) Gentle men, leaving the town and rustic life of London, and forgetting for a moment if anybody can, the " Pride of the Village" and the "Broken Heart," let us cross the waters again, and ask who has associated himself most with the Italian Post House, and the Bandits of the Pyrenees ? When the traveller is lighted to his chamber, along dark, echoing, and spacious cord inns, very gloomy and very cold,—when he has sat down by the fire to watch the gradual change of his room from misery to comfort, and has drawn his curtains, such as they are, moth eaten and mouldy, over the window—thinking of all the ghost stories that ever he has read or heard told, until the thick coming fancies crowd around and in upon his brain— who is it that he thinks of at. such a time ? Why, Washington Irving !—(Cheers.) Go further away still, to the Moorish Fountain, sparkling in the full moonlight, with a few water-carriers and village gossips, lingering about it still for its refreshing coolness, and the voices of others going to the village dying away in the distance like bees, who, at such an hour, takes his silent stand beside the traveller, and points with his magic wand to the walls of the Alhambra ? Who awakens in every cave the echoing music, the tread of many feet, the sound of cymbals, the rattling clang of armour, the tramp of mailed men, and bids all those Moors who for centuries have slept a dreamless sleep, within the earth, watched unwinkingly for buried treasure—who bids them start up, and walk in grim array before his e = yes ?—(Loud cheers.) Or leaving this, who leaps with Columbus into his gallant ship—who stands beside Win on the main—and waves the flag of Spain—(Loud cheers) —who but this same man ? And who, again, to come to your own coast, is fit c om p any for the buc caneers and money-diggers ? Or who fit to accom pany Rip Van Winkle in his fearful journey to the mountain, where the uncouth crew did play at nine pins on that thundery afternoon ?—(Roars of laugh ter.) What pen but his could make /these creatures as much a part and parcel of those Catskill mountains, as any crag that ever frowned, or torrent that ever darted headlong from their heights ?—(Cheers.) But, Gentlemen, this is a most dangerous theme for me ; for I have been enchanted with these people, I am sorry to say, in one sense, from my boyhood, and my glass-slipper is on me still. I will conclude, then, by giving a sentiment—most appropriate in the pre sence of such a company as Bryant and Halleck— ladies, I suppose, I mustn't mention—l will give you "The Literature of America—she well knows how to honour her own literature, and to do honour to that of other lands, when she chooses Washington Irving as her representative in the country of Cer vantes !" We have not room for other speeches. head of " BOZ MANIA," Under the the Editor of the New York Herald observes " With this dinner, we believe, closes the Boz mania in all its public manifestations. Charles Dickens's measure of popularity is now full. He has been indicted, tried, found guilty and punished by several surfeits and fits of sickness, which will require several weeks to get over. After that revival, he in tends to take his scrip and hat, and go along among the " highwais and byways " to find out, very q u i e tly, the characteristic s of American society and Ameri can life. "We congratulate Dickens on his escape—and we trust lie will be very careful hereafter how he commits any more offences against the vanities of his contem poraries.

NATURE OF THE OFFICE, AND ABOLISHMENT OF PERQUISITES AND TAXES. The announcement which some weeks ago The Sun. was the first to make, of the acceptance by his High ness Prince Albert of the Lord Wardenship of the Cornwall Stannaries, and the Vice-Stewardship of the county in connection with that of Devon, having received due affirmation in the Gazette, we now proceed to notice the nature and dignity of these an cient offices; which have become so highly and ho nourably filled, in the person of the Prince, as well as the benefit which he has conferred upon this great mining county at large, by the handsome relinquish ment of the emoluments arising out of the taxes of the office. The King or Prince of Wales, as Duke of Corn wall, has from a very remote period, levied a duty of 4s. 6d. per cwt., or , a a ton,* upon all the tin raised in his Duchy; the tin raised in Devonshire is subject to a similar duty of 11. 13s. 4d. a ton. This duty has hitherto produced from 16,000/. to 20,0001. a vear.t Now the net revenue it has yielded to the Crown has been comparatively nothing, the produce being nearly absorbed in the expenses of collection ; but the re strictions on the smelters for the sake of levying the duty have been all along exceedingly vexatious, and far more onerous than the amount of the tax. It has long been acknowledged as an impost, which, not levied or professed to he levied for the benefit of the public, ought long ago to have been remitted in Coto, even if it had been necessarg to compensate the officers who hold places under the Duke's patent. In a clever pamphlet, attributed to the pen of Sir Charles Lemon,t we find the following passage re ferring to the origin of' the tax, and his opinion at that time, that due season had arrived for its abolition : "The right from which this duty emanates," says Sir Charles, " has every claim to respect on the gm - and of antiquity, § and rests on the faith of chatters re peatedly. from as fa r h ac k as t h e reign of ( e earliest charters s till recogn i s i ng renewed, as an ancient ju r i s di ct i on. B ut form erly large indulgences were given to the tinners in return for the tax raised on their labour. They were protected from pleas of villanage. and cou ld b e sued only iii their own Courts; they were exempt from military service, that they might not be interrupted. -in their work : they were exempt from tolls at mar ket, and other taxes. Concedimus ut Stannatores sint quieti de muragiis, stallagiis taxationibus, et eontributionibus.' "ll They were all owe d t o di vert streams, and cut fuel 6)r the use of th e i r wor k s ; and subse quen tly t h ey were exempt from the duty on the transport of woollens, to which Devon was subject, for the express reason that they paid a larger tax on the stapl e article of their produce. These advantages, of course,_ have long since ceased, a n d -th e b ur d en of taxationhas re mained unalleviated up to the present minute, till his Highness, no doubt from proper presentations of the case, has generously ceded to these hard-working people gratuitous absolution from further grievance. To what extent the grievance thus spoken of, pressed upon the Stannary capitalists and workers, we shall now proceed to show, evidenced by the vexa tious regulations under which, up to the present moment, the tax" has been collected. Though the orders sent to the miner were for tin of a particular description, he was not allowed to smelt it at once into the required form, but was obliged to cast it, in the first instance, into blocks. This regula tion being complied with, it would have been expected that the tin would be surveyed by officers at the smelt ing house, and the duty charged accordingly ; but in stead of this the miner was obliged to convey it as fin as eight or ten miles, to one of the coinage towns, where it was, and where it only could be, coined : that is, a small piece was struck off one of the corners, and the block was impressed with the arms of the Duchy, and the duty paid. This useless ceremony having been gone through, the tin had frequently to be carried back, before it could be shipped, to the very place where it was taken to be citined!'ff Another grievance was., that the coinage was only performed quarterly, so that however pressing the demand might be in the in terim, the miner could not supply it. There were also certain fees payable on the coinage, particularly if it took place during the Christmas and Lady-day quar ters ; so that the actual tax, if there were added to the duty of 4/. a ton, those charges, and reasonable allowance made at the same time for the expense of carriage, and the trouble and inconvenience to Which the miner was put, the whole might be moderately estimated at 51. a ton. These duties, indeed, it is equitably observed by M'Culloch,** were not unbearable, so long as we en joyed a sort of monopoly of the tin trade ; then the Duchy duty was comparatively little felt; but when the time came, that we had to sustain a competition with Batten, the Malay peninsula and other parts of the East, which sank the price of tin about 50 per cent., and which every day became more and more evere, it became quite oppressive. Surely it was not premature to consider that it was not to be en. (lured, that the existence of an ancient and important branch of industry, supposed to afford employment to about 20,000 persons, should be endangered, that the Crown might gain the inconsiderable revenue which it was in the habit of receiving into its coffers. OFFICE OF AND DIGNITY OF LORD WARDEN. In the reign of Edward 1. the Cornish miners were seperated from those of Devonshire. Their laws, recited in Plowden's Commentaries, were further ex plained by 5.0 Edward lII. ' confirmed, an d en l arged by Parliament, 8 Richard 11., 3 Edward IV., I Ed ward IV. ' I and 2 Philip a n d M ary, and 2 Elizabeth. and the whole Society divided into four parts or Stan naries, under one general Warden, to do justice in law and equity. .The Lord Warden appoints a Vice. Warden, to determine all Stannary disputes every month ; he also constitutes four Stewards, one for each of the precincts before-mentioned, who hold their Courts every three weeks, and decide by juries of six. persons. THE STANNART COURTS : THEIR LAWS, 8:C. The Stannary Courts are held at the end of every three weeks before the Steward of each of the four " Stannaries," or mining districts : in these Courts all civil actions, in which either plaintiff or defendant is a privileged timer, are tried before the Steward and a Jury : front these Courts an appeal lies to the Vice- Warden, and from him as in other cases. The four St:um:lry districts are Fov More, Blackmore, Ty warnhaile, and Penwith and Kerrier. The Stan nary laws are revised, or new ones enacted, by the Duke and his Council, with the consent of what is called the Stannary Parliament, consisting of 24 Stannators, gentlemen of property in the mining dis tricls' chosen six for ea c h St annary. The last Stan nary Parliament was held at Truro in 1752, and con tinued by adjournments to September 1753. The Stannary laws have been repeatedly published. The Stannary prison was at Lostwithiel, but by the re cent Act is now at Bodtnin.l.' The ancient records of the Stannaries were kept at Lostwithiel till they were burnt in the great civil war Of Charles 1., in 1664, by the Parliamentary army. ADVANTAGES OF TILL' STANNART COURTS.—The advantages arising from the Stannary Courts are : That all tinners and labourers in and about the Stan naries shall, during the time of their working there* holm .fide, claim to be free from all jurisdiction but that of the . Stannary Courts, except in eases affecting land, life, and limb. The Vice-Warden's Court is held once a month, and is o court of equity for all matters relating to the tin-mines and trade : no writ of error lies to the Courts at Westminster, but there is an appeal to the Warden, and from him to the Duke in council, or when the Duchy is vacant, to the King in council. OFFICERS OF TILE STANNARY COURTS.—The im mediate government of the county is vested in the Duke, who has his Chancellor, Attorney-General, and Solicitor-General, and his Court of Exchequer. H e also appoints the Sheriffs. Mr. Pemberton, and other eminent legal men, at present fill these offices. We had omitted to mention with regard to the tin-duty, that before the war of 1793 it had amounted to 14,000/. per annum. Stannary, according to the etymologists, is a de rivative from the Latin word fir Tin, which is Stan num ; this, in the aboriginal Irish dialect, is stall; iu the Welsh, ?Islam; and. in French the word assumes. the form of estain. • See an able paper on the " Tin Trade," in the Spectator of August 25, 1832. t Vide APCullock's Dictionary of Commerce. sub articalo.4 Pamphlet on the Tin Duties.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.; FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—A Gazette extraordinary published at earaccas orb the Ist of March mentions the arrival of a communication, from M. Fortique, the representative of Venezuela in this cowl-- try, containing an official notice, on the authority of Lord. Aberdeen, that the British Government have determined too remove the landmarks laid down by M. Schoenberg, the com-. missioner, near the Orinoco, in the course of his survey. Orders to this effect Were to be given to the Governor of Bri... tish Guiana, but it is distinctly understood that the British Government does net abandon any part of the territory formerly held by th e D utch. The conduct of our Government seems, . by the tone of the paper, to have given the highest satisfaction . in Venezuela. It is said that the suspension of payment by Messrs.. Ralston, mentioned yesterday, will occasion s o me delay in the' payment of the dividends on Virginia Six per Cent. Stock. ev a portion of those dividends was remitted in the shape of bit!s upon that firm. With respect to the Pennsylvania dividends 1 received the other day by 111essrs. Dennison, it should be ob served, that those are dividends on so much of the Pennsylvania Stock as 'is held as a part guarantee for the " United States Bank " 13 . onds, amounting to above 60 per cent. of the interest on those bonds, the remainder being guaranteed by the in solvent States of Mississippi and Michigan.
