The Rev, Henry Ward Beecher on England and America, One of the most imposing demonstrations that have oc curred for many years at Exeter Hall took place last night, to hear the lecture of the Rev. H. W. Beecher on the pre sent unhappy condition of America. Before the doors were opened at half-past 6, the entrances in the Strand and Exeter-street were crowded by thousands, and when the doors were open a fearful rush took place, happily without any accident to life or limb. The large room was crowded to overflowing in a few minutes, so that the vast multitude outside who were toiling and surging here and there to ob tain an entrance were obliged to go away disappointed. Curious enough the leading members of the committee, and even Mr. Beecher himself, had great difficulty in forcing their way through the anxious crowds that blocked up the doors. Some disturbance of the proceedings was expected, in consequence of it being well known that a number of persons having what are called " Southern proclivities" were in the room, but happily everything passed off quietly, and the rev, gentleman was permitted with scarcely any in terruption to continue his eloquent address, which lasted nearly two hours. At 7 o'clock the chair was taken by Ben jamin Scott, Esq., City Chamberlain, who was supported by the following gentlemen :—G. Thompson, Esq., Dr. Haley, Dr. Holland, Rev. H. Allen, D.D., John Kaye, Esq., Revs. J. Hinton, W. Tyler, J. C. Galloway, J. H. Byrnes, W. Dunkerley, Dr. Bunting, Dr. Jobson, A. Ray. leigh, J. Spark, Selim Martin, J. Spong, W. Cuthbert, J. B. French, Dr. Campbell, G. Wilkins, W. Brock, H. J. Bales, Dr. Hales, Professor Newman, Messrs. Newth, J. Cassell, Washington Wilke, Edmond Beales, Wm. Spicer, J. W. Willane, J. Richardson, C.C., Rev. Newman Hall, Sir Charles Fox, James Beale, &c. As there were loud cries of "Time, time," and some im patience otherwise manifested as Mr. Beecher did not make his appearance, The CHAIRMAN rose, and begged they would allow him to inform them that the crowds outside the building were so dense that Mr. Beecher had not as yet been able to force his way through, and they were thus prevented from being as punctual as they should otherwise have been. It had been with the greatest difficulty that himself and some members of the committee forced their way into the building, and he hoped therefore they would make allowance if they were a few minutes behind time. He deeply regretted that Mr. Bright was not present] to fill the chair—(hear)—and for his own part he felt it his duty to state that it was not their object that evening to discuss the great American struggle now going on. (Hear.) There were many opportunities for discussing that momentous question, and their object then was to afford an opportunity to a distinguished stranger to address them on an absorbing topic. (Cheers.) He was, besides, a gentleman who, whatever opinions he may hold, was entitled to their profound respect as the son of Dr. Beecher and the brother of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. (Cheers,) As a stranger visiting their shores who had par taken of their salt, as a man whether regarded as a minister of religion, a gentleman, or the uncompromising advocate of human rights, he was eminently entitled to their respect, and deserved their courteous attention, (Cheers.) He was quite sure therefore that this assembly of English men and women would support him in obtaining for him that re spectiul hearing which was so eminently his due. (Hear.) That was the more necessary as his feelings and opinions were often misunderstood in this country, and perhaps mis represented, and as ho was a stranger about to depart from their shores in a few days, he asked for the opportuni:y of putting himself sight with the London public. (Hear.) They would then give him, he hoped, a patient hearing ; and as for himself (the chairman), he abstained advisedly from entering into a discussion of the question. The Rev. Mr. Beecher, however, had been its unpromising advocate for more than 25 years. Here the rev. gentleman entered the hall, and was re ceived with loud and long continued cheers. When silence was obtained, The CHAIRMAN proceeded—lie had been, as he said, its uncomprising advocate for 25 years, in times of peace and before the present war—for the emancipation of the op pressed—broke out, and at a time when only a few thinking men on I he other side of the Atlantic were found advocating that cause. (Cheers.) He would in conclusion introduce to them the rev. gentleman. The Rev, H. W. BEECHER then came forward in front Of the platform and was received in the most enthusiastic man ner. When silence was somewhat restored, he thanked the chairman (he said) for the very kind introduction he received at his hands, and which required a single word from him. He should have been glad if he thought he deserved all the credit so generously ascribed to him by their worthy chair man; but ho was not old enough to be the pioneer in a cause in which such men as Wild and Stewart, and Perrin and Smith, Lovett, and Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and that most accomplished speaker in the world,Mr.Wendell Phillips,took an active share. When ha thought of the exertions made by the benevolent class of Christians called " Friends ;" when he thought of the number of men, obscure in station and without name or position, who laboured from their earliest days in the same good work—and he remembered that ho came in after all this had been done—he felt that honours were given to him which he did not deserve, and were not, therefore, warranted, because wrested from others who deserved them better. (Cheers.) All he could say was, that he fell into the ranks under the able captains who directed the movement—that he fought as well as he could, or as he knew how, Now, having said so much on that point, and as that would be his last popular address in Eng • land, he was anxious to give a short glance at his preceding movements since his arrival, At Manchester ho attempted to give a glance at what had been going on between North and South for the last 50 years, and to show that the present American war was only an overt act of what had thus oc curred during the last half century. He also endeavoured to show that the condition of the working or free labouring population throughout the world must bo deteriorated and brought to a position of contempt and injury by the conti nuance of slave labour, and that consequently it interested every free man on the face of the globe to have it finally ' and for ever extinguished. (Hear.) Ile contended that the South was the natural enemy to free labour all over the world. (Cheers, and No, no.) In Edinburgh he endeavoured to prove that after the separation of the colonies from the mother country there was created out of the separate colo nies and States thus growing up a nation of United States totally distinct from each other as a general government,hav ing control over the finances and general resources of the entire, which the North now endeavoured to uphold and the South abandoned, becauso that Government was wielded and influenced by men who gave its influence and autho• rity to the cause of freedom. In Liverpool he laboured—(a laugh)—to show that slavery in the long run must be the ruin of commerce and manufacture all the world over, be cause every one must be aware that a slave nation must be a poor customer, and consequently goods sold there must be at the very lowest profit. He also endeavoured to prove that it was for the interests of commerce and manufacture to pro mote in those countries the freedom of the human race, and not to allow some of the fairest portions of the earth to be treated in a manner which made them too poor to buy , anything., tte h a d thus endeavoured to rouse the atten tce. „Al of the British people to a just sens e o f t h e i r own in terests. He was aware that there were many circumstances which now made it difficult for him to make what he would term a balanced statement, so that no doubt should remain that slavery was the cause—the only cause, and the sole cause—of the gigantic and cruel war now going forward. (Cheers.) He asked them to look at the question from an American point of view; to take their s t an di ng -p o i n t and judge of their character and motives not from the enemy, but what they said themselves. There had, he knew,;been some disagreement in feeliug , between Great Britain and America, but he did not want to argue that question now, only that the people of this country should consider each other's position. He did not want them to came to any de " aided o . P . f_ 'lien upon the poin t, but ruerely to ask them to look the Fame point of view that they ai, the state of things in ruP:nta as they pleased. did ; and let them Orin their jm 4 .7 : their misfortune, Their present ptasltion in the North was not their fault.

Then came the question between - (Hear, hear.) the North and South of bringing in a slave State for everyose tree one admitted into the Union, and for that purp the , having possession of the Government, they practised It was bribery, bribery, bribery, in most extensive bribery. , change the Constitution throu . t f he mean roceedings were every department in the State. They next a o t f tem so p u te ther t n o I judges ; and it was felt at last that 1 such p I allowed to go farther the law and Constitution would be openly and flagrantly violated. Now he would read to them an unconscious corroboration of what he had been stating from a speech made in Georgia by Mr. Stephens, the present vice-president of the Confederate States, addressed to his constituents. And with regard to this gentleman he was bound to say that until his State went over no man was more opposed to secession and more anxious for the Union. He pointed out clearly and distinctly the dangers and disas ters of a secession, and he was right :—" He was bound to say that the Northern States had always acted most liberally towards them. When they demanded that slaves should be brought from Africa to cultivate cotton, it was granted ; and Louisiana, Florida, and Texas—out of which eight States could be made—were permitted to have slaves. In point of fact, they in the South had always the control of the general government of the country, and the majority of the Presidents were chosen from among them. Out of 60, the North had only 24 ; of the judges, 18 were from the South and 11 from the North ; Speakers in the House of Representatives, 23 from the South and 12 from the North; of the Attorney-Generals, 14 from the South and 5 from the North ; foreign ministers, 86 to 54 ; and at least three fourths of the diplomatic agents abroad, and the principal embassies, so as to secure the markets of the world for their cotton and other produce." Was there ever such an indict ment unconsciously made by a speaker against any people ? Ain Stephens, speaking to the people of Georgia, not know ing that he would be reported, and that his speech would come North, that it would come to him (Mr. Beecher), and be read by him to an English audience in Exeter hall, carved at once into the very heart of the policy of the South, and told what were the plans and what the part the South had played for the last 50 years. (Hear, hear.) The real consistent policy of the South during all that time was, in addition to the control of the territories, to control the Go vernment, and to use both for the establishment of slave influence throughout North America. Now take notice that the North, hating slavery as slavery, and longing for its extinction, was unable till this war to touch slavery di rectly. They could only touch the slave policy—not slavery independently—because slavery was established by a State l a w, and subject only to State jurisdiction. Any direct at tempt on the part of the North to attack slavery would have b ee n revolutionary and unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) It would have destroyed the Constitution, because it would have been a violation of the principle of state independence. That Constitution, in fact, only took an English idea on a large r scale. We borrowed it from you. Many might not understand how there could be a State independence under a national Government. He was not very well posted in English affairs, but he understood that there be longed to the city of L on d on cer t a i n pr i va t e r i g ht s th at t h e parliament could not meddle with—(cheers)—and that there were other elements in which Parliament was as supreme in of London a s i n any ot h er c i ty w i t hi n th e rea l m. ciN the e o: o t understood th a t p r i nc ipl e h ere th e y wou ld un - Ilitntyf they h t e he principle of the American Government, by which certain matters belonged to local jurisdiction and certain other matters belonged to the general Government. In this country every man's house was his castle, and once ins ide it the householder, so long as he conformed to the l a w, could regulate his domestic concerns uncontrolled and without molestation. In like manner the American States wer e domestic households, and so long as the Constitution was kept up, in other respects no other State had a right to interfere with their domestic institutions. But in addition to these internal and domestic questions, the United States came together for common purposes and created a general Government, to which they gave supreme authority on all quest i o ns affecting war an d peace, the negot i at i on o f t rea ti es and all similar questions of general policy. The power to meddle with or interfere with the domestic economy of the separate States never was given to the general Government, a nd it could not be given. They would ask him, then, 66 How is it you are doing so now ?" He had shown that it was on ly with the national policy as it went out of the States with which the national Government could deal ; that they were bound by the Constitution to abstain from internal interference, and in honour, loyalty, good faith, and patriotism, they did abstain from such interference. It was only when the question was raised whether the na tional policy should be a slave or a free-soil policy whet h e r their national policy_ was sh en ou ti l t d led be free ree b o e r u s ud slave, that the the in terfere.rn nr i national Ile called the m a ll to witness to the forbearance ando y with which th e N orth bad acted in the matter. Forbearance was not a s h owy quality, honesty was not a bheaoat honesty ee Government shining quality, but they were fundamental virtues, and for SO years the North had stood faithful to her word, and re spected the local rights of States, even when those local rights were opposed to moral rights—(hear) —and he thought that honest adherence to State rights and forbearance on the part of the North was one of those things of which they might be justly proud. (Oh, laughter, and cheers.) It was a pro ductprinciple, a pro o f o f lib erty, an inspiration of that Christian f a ith which i s th e mother both of principle and rit an liberty; O s and he was proud to say that there had been a re cognition of that fidelity and forbearance on the part of the North, even in respect to her worst enemies. That was the reason why the North did not in the first instance go to war emancipation. She went to w ar t o save the national in stitutions,fer to save the territories, to save those laws which, if allowed to operate throughout a series of years, would first circumscr ib e , thensuffocate,s e finally w destroyhy that m slavery.est true, and n was reatt h e and conscientious magistrate, Mr. Lincoln (Ilere the audience, both on the platf orm an d i n th e h a ll, ros e to their feet and gave repeated cheers, amidst the wav i n g of hats and handker chiefs, which lasted some time.) honest,(Leud cheers.)just, That How was it that the conflict changed its character from a wa r upon pol ic y to a direct atta ck upon slavery itself ? It was because the South was so ill-advised as to beleaguer the national Government with slavery, and thus obliged the President of the national Government to decide between the sa f e ty of the national institutions and the slavery by which beleaguered. (Chee rs .) A man attacked on t h e theyhigilZe b by a robber obeyed the first law of nature in knocking his assailant down, and so when a nation was as sailed in its most vital interests by a local interest inimical to its welfare, it was the right of that nation to destroy its ft the enemy, which, if not destroyed, wou l d destroy it. So long South a llowed the iss ue t o b e one of policy, the North h did not attempt to shift t h e ground ; but when th e y said tTo r 'd s lavery shall be the issu e , th e N or th cou ld do no ot h er but accept the chall enge . A s th e p o li ce had no right to enter your house so long as you obey the law, but had a right to do so when the law was broken, so, when a State defied a national Government, and violated the Constitution, the national Government had a right to enter and protect the national rights. But it was said the Presi dent issued his proclamation for the sake of political effect, and not for humanity. (Cheers, and Oh, oh.) Why, the right of the proclamation was po li t i ca l , b ut the dis positionistosiliZg so was not. Mr. Lincoln, as an officer in the President i a l c hair, had no more right to consult his private judge on the bench ; but when a judge saw of theprimitive in the rigid execution law justice went that . the judge was all the more pleased. So, in the with right, . feelings than a in the United States. In the time of peace case of slave* institution . slavery was a local which they could not touch. Now they did so because, since the war, slavery had been shoved out of its place as a local institution, had become a national must be dealt w ith as suc h . (H ear .) He promise d make that clear.

He should like to know what the feelings of an En glishman - would be ' if he saw in the newsp a p ers one fine mor nin g that th e country from which his (Mr. Beecher's) ancestors c ame from had proclaimed itself an independent State--(a laugh) —and was followed by other countries on the southern coast proclaiming themselves an independent kingdom. (Laughter.) They might probably say that circumstances altered cases ; but he would ask, was it not as necessary to maintain national territory and national laws in America as it was in this country ? (Hear, hear.) But then it was said a great concession had been made because the Southern States offered the Northerns the free use of the Mississippi. What condescension ! Why, it might as well be raid, that if a parcel of gipsies took possession of their houses it would be an act of grace to allow them to enter them. (A laugh ) It was impossible that the two States could live on one con tinent as independent nations, and therefore a truce with them would be merely a cloud to produce a thunderstorm at any moment, whenever the Southerners found the means and the opportunity to take possession of the entire conti- ' nent in the name of the devil and of slavery. (Cheers.) But it was said, why not let this contest end and allow the South to go ? Because the Americans did not wish to be come a military people. (Cheers.) A great many people said that America was becoming too strong—that she was dangerous to the peace of the world; but he would say that if this division was permitted the South would become a military nation,and the North would be compelled to become military also. With 1,500 miles of lines and forts to defend, the North would require a standing army of 250 ; 000 men ; and when a nation had a large standing army she was in great danger. Before this war the legal force of the United States army was 25,000; the actual number was 18,000 ; and was all they wanted; indeed, the Tribune and other papers had written it down as too large; but let this division take place, and an army of 250,000 men would be required by the North, and one of not less than 160,000 or 200,000 for the South ; and when America was compelled to have armies like these, like a boy with a knife, she will always be wanting to whittle with them. (Laughter and cheers,) It was the interest, then, of the world that the American nation should be united and under the control of that part of the nation that had always been for peace, and that the government should be wrested from that section of it that had always been for annexations, filibustering, and snub bing nations. (Cheers.) But on religious grounds there was a higher, more solemn, and national trust; and the Americans felt, as he did, that he and those whom he addressed had a solemn moral responsibility for that country and for the other portions of the globe. But how much more was that the case when it applied to their own nation and the Church in America that in their vast territories there was a glorious sphere to build up a Church that would make the hearts of all good men everywhere glad ? (Great applause.) They could not help slavery in the States before the war, but now that it had become a declared public enemy it was their duty as Christians to see that slavery should never again be in a position to blight this fair Western territory. (Cheers.) When he stood and looked out upon that immense territory—(great interruption, and cries of " Put him out")—when he looked at that vast territory he felt bound, as an individual man, as a citizen, as a Christian minister, to ask, Will s'ou permit this terri tory to be darkened by this storm cloud Will you permit the acres which lie between the Pacific and the Atlantic to groan whit unrequitted toil when it is in your power to pre vent it ? (Cheers.) The Americans were sending mission aries to all parts of the world to aid in its civilisation and evangelisation, and yet there were men amongst them who counselled them to give up America to the devil, and not do another thing. (Cheers.) He said, apart from all ques tions of finance or commerce, it was their duty as Christians to save that vast continent from the blast and blight of slavery. And yet how many were those whose voices were sounding up and down all over England "Let slavery go ?" A story was told of that great man, Sir Powell Buxton, that when a large favourite dog of his was seized with hydrophobia, and was 'dashing hither and thither and up and down the streets to the danger of all passers by, he seized it by the neck, and, notwithstanding its immense strength, he held it until help came to him to enable him to chain it up. What would an Englishman of the type of the Times said had he been there? "Let him go—let him go." (Cheers.) Was there a man there who did not feel the nobleness of the man who restrained that mad dog from going about biting women and children? and were they to let this hell dog of slavery madly go biting millions in the future ? No, we will peril life and limb first. (Loud cheers.) These facts were not magnified but mini mised in his statement of the case. No man could under stand these arguments and feelings unless he had been in the midst of American society and was impressed with the sentiments of the North—deeper than the sea, firmer than the hills, serener than the sky over their heads where God dwells. But it had been said what a ruthless war this war is I and he had seen it stated that a pestilential reverend fellow had come over from America to preach the Gospel, and it was said he was in favour of the war to extermina tion. (Hear, hear.) Well, if he said so, he'll stick to it. (Hisses, answered by cheers.) Yes, he repeated it. (Hisses and cheers.) Bat when his words were quoted on that point he asked them to take the explanation, not from his enemies, but from himself. He believed this war was the test of their American institutions, that it was a life and death struggle between liberty and slavery, and that it was the cause of the common people. He believed that all free people would be stronger if they suppressed this oligarchyof slave holders, and that every oppress ed people would be weaker if the North was pushed to the wall. (Hear, hear.) The Americans believing this—that the war was a test of their Constitution, their laws, their liberties, and their future destiny, and standing before the great responsibility thus cast upon them—were prepared to place them all upon the altar, and he said that the North would perish rather than this Western civilisation should be destroyed, (Cheers.) If the people of the North were willing to make those sacrifices in their own homes and families, was it to be expected they should stop the war for the sake of the South ? Should they be expected to do for them what they would not do for them selves? No—standing by his own hearth —standing on the altar of the Church—in all places—and in presence of the names and memories of the illustrious dead —he declared they would sacrifice in 10 or 20 years, as the ca l m ( a liear, everything they lied in th© world but but if it Great Britain they would not understand and some hisses.) If the love of public PlirbinebrettimyP as ' well as of lived as it did in the time of their ancestors,'cible determination .1;e dead in his, they would guess the firm and in b vi e strong marks of dis every cost.

(Cheers.) When their army fought at Waterloo, the Idlers engaged in that conflict did not know the tremeu- L ° as moral consequences that were to follow and depended on that battle. It was not what the British soldier felt or thought, but the interests of the British empire ; and so it wa s at present. The war was no doubt looked upon in this country with horror, and as something very wonderful ; but he would ask them what land or shore the prowess of their own ships had not seen and conquered ? what land w as there on the habitable globe that their soldiers had not co nquered ? Why, the great trumpet of the resurrection, when it sounded at the last day, would find, at the great muster to be made, British soldiers from every place under heaven.

Ward Beecher for the admirable address which ho has delivered this evening, and expresses its hearty sym pathy with his reprobation of the slaveholder's rebellion, his vindication of the rights of a free government, and his aspirations for peace and friendship between the English pe ople and their Am er i can brethren; and as this meeting „cognises in Mr. Beecher one of the early pioneers of negro emancipation, RS well as 0210 of the most eloquent and suc cessful of the champions of th at great cause, it rejoices in. this opportunity of con g rat ulating. him on the triumph with which the labours of himself and his associates have been crowned in the anti-slavery policy o, President Lincoln and his Cabinet." - ta The Rev. Mr. BEECIIER having briefly returned thanks, the proceedings terminated.—Advertiser, Trial of Armour Plates, Steel Gums, &c„ at St. Petersburg. N.S., f ur- On Wednesday, the 17 t h sc r`3tober, ther trials took place a t St. Petersburg with the „,. experimental nine-inch rifled cast steel g un . This • - gun is of solid cast steel, ma de by Krupp, and throws a 3001 b, shell or a 4501 b. solid shot. Th e - results of previous experiments w ith this gun led the Russian Government to order fifty of them, which are now in course of delivery. The principal objects of the experiments on the 7th inst. were to ascertain the best description of shell, and to test the quality of armour plates supplied by Messrs. John Brown and Co., of Sheffield. First, a series of cast iron shells, 300 lb. each, were fired at different ranges, and then shells Diade by Krupp were fired at the 41-inch armour plates. The first shell, of hard cast steel, was 221 inches long (two and a half diameters), with a flat end four inches in diameter. Fired with 501 b. cf powder at 700 ft. distance it passed through the plate, oak and teak backing, and broke into many nieces, although filled with sand only. The second and third shells were also of Krupp's steel, the same length, but 61in. ends. These shells pierced plates, wood, &c., and also went to pieces, although only filled with sand. The fourth shell was made by M. Potoleff, of puddled steel, on Aboukoff's system, the same dimensions as the second and third, and went through iron, teak, &c., but was only bulged up from 9in. to 12in., and the end flattened; not a single crack being visible in the shell. The fifth shell, the same as the fourth, passed through iron, teak, and the second target, and went at least a mile beyond. The sixth and seventh shells were from Krupp, and were charged with powder; they were quite flat-ended, 9in. diameter. One ex ploded in the plate, the other in the wood. The eighth and ninth shells were of east iron, and al though they passed through the plates were, of course, destroyed. Evening prevented further trials, which will yet be made on the same plate. The results on the plate were highly satisfactory. In a space of 4ft. Gin. by 3ft. 6in, eight holes were made without any crack of the slightest descrip tion ; and the marine officers present were highly satisfied, because they are obtaining 4,000 tons of plates from Messrs. John Brown and Co. for their different ships. The English Government would do well to note the progress the Russians arc making in gunnery. Cast steel guns are decidedly before any yet pro duced in England of any other metal. The 9in. gun of Krupp has been fired with 3001 b.-shells and 501 h. of powder stout 70 times without any flaw, and the Russian Government will shortly be in a position to obtain in St. Petersburg a large supply of cast steel guns, made from lluesin iron, by Rus sians, on Aboukoff's system, which is very near the same as Krupp's. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday in the Alder men's Chamber at Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. The LORD MAYOR, at the commencement of the business, said it was his painful duty to inform the Court officially of meeting, had e sad circumstance wh ich, since the be fallen them. and of wh ich they all last nodoubt were aware from other sources, namely, the death of an old and valuable friend, Mr. Alderman Humphery. He was well known to all the Court, and he was sure he would have the sanction of every member present, that he had clone much to preserve the honour and dignity of the Court, and deserved great c redit both as a public and a private man, and had the good opinion of all. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said, as the senior alderman of the Court, it devolved upon him to submit a vote of condo lence to the widow of the late G. Humphery, Esq. He had the honour to be Lord Mayor at the time Mr. Alderman Humphery was elected by the ward of Aldgate to fill the office of magistrate for that ward, and he was sure no one better could have been selected for their confidence. He had known him both as a private friend and as a magistrate, and knew his worth, and esteemed him, as he was sure all did who had had the honour of his acquaintance. He had lived a long life well spent, and he had brought up his children in. a way which it would be well for all to emulate, and he only hoped that now his life was taken away, he would go to those happy realms which his conduct on earth merited. The worthy alderman said he had had the misfortune now to see 50 of his brethren pass away, which was a large number of friends to lose from time to time, and there was no knowing whilst deploring those who had gone before, who might be the next to follow, and it behoved them all to do their best for the benefit of society, and to discharge faithfully the duties which devolved upon thorn. Whilst deploring the sad loss which they had sustained, he must congratulate the Court upon having a gentleman chosen to fill the vacant office who, from his experience, was in every way qualifi ed to succeed such a worthy predecessor. Mr. Alderman WILSON said while his friend who I t t e s : just spoken had seen 50 of the brethren pass away he seen 40. He felt the loss of his friend very keenly, as he on very intimate terms with him, and could testify ° ma worth both as a friend and public man, and in lotting J'" they had lost a most useful member of society. fof their Sir J.

They had great pleumire in introducing to the Court a gentleman who had for a nuaber of years carried on business in the City, and who,as a mt.'mber of the Court of Common Council and as Sheriff, had given the Court some insight as to the manner in which he fulfilled his duties, and he was quite sure he would, with equal satisfaction, fulfil the duties of the office to which he had been recently elected. He felt, with the other gentle men present, that it was a great and valuable privilege which the inhabitants of every ward had in the right of Sewell electing e whom they chose to fill the post of magistrate, and heetru:t that the gentleman whom they presented would di'lasehaths, r 4 em his duties with credit to the o ffi ce and honour to h The newly-elected alderman then took the use and was afterwards handed round the Court by Aft' the swordbearer, and received the congratu l member present. 11 ' atione of each nal o VELLUM MANUSCRIPT OF VIRGIL.
