The Count DE ST. AULAIRE (who spoke in French) returned thanks to the following effect :—My Lord, Ladies, and Gentleman—ln the name of all my col leagues of the corps diplomatique, I thank you for the honour you have done us, and I beg to convey to you you the expression of our most sincere good wishes for the prosperity of the City of London, and of the whole British empire. These sentiments, gentlemen, of which I am happy to be the organ, will find an echo among all the nations of the world. Never have sentiments of amity, of mutual good-will, and, above all, of Christian charity, been more universally dis seminated than in the age in which we have the hap piness to live. Never have the benefits of peace been so fully and so truly appreciated. Never has that great truth been better understood, that individual prosperity has no more sure guarantee than in the prosperity of all ; and that the best mode of obtain ing advantages for one's-self, is to take care to pro cure them for one's neighbour. Thanks to this fortu nate disposition of the public mind, gentlemen, the arts of peace obtain a favourable preference over the arts of war, and we see a daily increase in the wealth of our cities and the productions of our soil. Three years ago, when for the first time I came to London, it seemed to me that this city had already reached the highest point of splendour, so immense and so magnificent did it even then appear. Yet at the present hour I still seelit increasing in size, and adding in every way to its beauty. Within the last few days we have taken part Id liteceretz6nymf the inaugural, tion of one of those monuments of art which seenaln . spring from the earth as by enchantment. That building is itself the temple of commerce, and in asking the presence of the representatives of" foreign Sovereigns at the ceremony of its opening, you had in some sort a right to do so, for the transactions of the Exchange of London are important to all the world. Your commerce, gentlemen, is one of the most powerful instruments of the civilisation of the universe. Its noble mission is to bear, even to the extremities of the earth, the laws of a holy , religion, the discoveries of scientific intelligence, and the comforts of domestic life. Let us work together int in whichsnob butlecause, a f and mayew days that temple ofcommerce, before we met together, endure for many centuries. May it continue an evidence of your prosperity even to the end of the world.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor alluded in terms, for which I beg he will accept my acknowledgments, to the recent visit of the King of the French. Many among you heard from the lips of my Sovereign the sentiments which he entertains towards England, and those which your reception inspired in him. It is in the name of all my fellow-citizens that I thank you to-day, en tlemen, for that recepti on. Yes, gentlemen, all F renc h men , whatever may be their opinions, or their position in society, have felt deeply, and they will long tow a rdsth e remember, r e t p h r e e s k e i a nd ta t sentiments h e e x F p r r e e s o s e e h d qy n a t y i o o h u . With the people of antiquity . hospitality was a reli gion. In our own days , i ts rights, its duties, and the sentiments which it inspires, have lost nothing of their potency. The people of England and France have cause to rejoice in seeigg the Sovereigns of the two most powerful nations in the world become the hosts of each other. They may consider it as one guarantee the more in favour of general peace. Again, gentle men, let me tender you my thanks for the kind atten tion with which you have listened to me, and for the honour you have done me in drinking my health. His Excellency was loudly cheered during the course, and at the conclusion of, his speech. The LORD MAYOR—Confident as I am that the present company is composed of individuals entertaining different sentiments on political subjects, it is, I assure you, no part of my purpose to minister on such an occasion to anything like party feeling ; but I am convinced all will agree with me that those entrusted with the government of this country are entitled to due respect and gratitude for their public services— (Cheers)—and however her Majesty's present Govern ment, in some of the measures they have thought it their duty to introduce, may have affected particular interests, still I trust you will all agree with me that their sole and undoubted intention hasbeen, and is, to promote the permanent prosperity of the country.— (Cheers.)' I, therefore, call upon you, with confi dence, to drink the health of " Sir James Graham and her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheering.) Sir JAMBS GRAHAM—My Lord Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen—ln the unavoidable absence of the head of her Majesty's Government, and in behalf of my colleagues and myself, I rise with the greatest pleasure to have the honour of returning thanks for the compliment which you have been pleased to pay to her Majesty's Ministers. From the earliest period of the history of this free country, to deserve the appro bation of the citizens of London has ever been among the highest objects of ambition with all men taking part in public affairs ; and to obtain any mark of your confidence and esteem has ever been regarded—and justly regarded —an ample and honourable reward for the most faithful and efficient services.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has truly told you, that in such a great assembly as this there necessarily must be a difference of political opinion ; it would therefore be most improper and inexcusable on nay part if I uttered one word, or expressed one opinion, which would create a division in this great assembly. But I may be permitted to say, that to promote the happiness, to sustain the honour, to maintain the peace of this country, and to promote the prosperity of all classes of its inhabitants, are in deed the constant aim and ardent desire of her Ma jesty's present advisers.—(Cheers.) You have heard from her Majesty herself the expression of her own sentiments on this subject. The mode of attaining these great objects naturally gives rise to a difference of opinion ; but her Majesty herself has declared what herself can is the keystone of her G ov ernment, which, amo n g a free Majesty people, declared never bene ficent and best ad a pt e d t o sec ure its objects. Her of the indigent, to secure the advancement of sci ence, elad be that doubted as the most " to promote the r elief and to aid the exte ns i on o f comm erce, are the great ob jects of the policy of this c oun try. To give effect to these objects shall be the constant and sedulous endeavours of her Majesty's Ministers, and, by the blessing of Providence, I confide n tly hope; that their efforts will not be altogether unavailing.—(Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, with your permission, I am anxious to pro pose a toast, and in proposing it I rely with confidence on the justice and generosity of so large an assembly of my fellow-citizens. I scorn to use the language of flattery and adulation—l shall rather use the simple language of sincerity and truth; and I appeal to this great assembly whether it be not just—whether it be not generous, to anticipate that your Lordship, filling the high office which you now hold by the voice of your fellow-citizens, will emulate the example of your predecessor, and honourably and faithfully fulfil the high duties and important functions of that office to which you have been elevated by the choice of the Livery, by the approbation of the Court of Aldermen, and by the full and entire approbation of your Sove reign.—(Loud cheers.) Feeling that he whom the citizens of London have thought worthy cannot be unworthy—(Loud cheers)—it is with great and heartfelt satisfaction that, with your permission, I have to propose as a bumper toast, " The health of the Lord Mayor of the City of London."—(Three times three and one cheer more.) The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said— My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen—l feel deeply indebted for the very kind manner in which Sir Jamas Graham has done me the honour to propose my name to your notice. I feel, on the present occa sion, that I ought to speak with deep humility. It becomes not him who putteth on the harness to boast like him who pulleth it off. All I can say is, that all my anxiety shall be to endeavour firmly to discharge the duties of Lord Mayor.—(Cheers.) The FRENCH AMBASSADOR then proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress," which the Lord Mayor, having acknowledged in appropriate terms , his Lordship proposed "The health of the Lord Chief Baron and the Judges," observing that the purity of the administration of justice in this country was pro verbial, but, happily for us, it was not only a matter of history, but of daily experience.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD CHIEF BARON thanked the company for the honour of proposing his health and that of the Judges in connexion with the purity of the ad ministration o f j us ti ce . He begged to say that so long as th e J u d ges were su pported by the learning and itnhet I lighteneda independ ence citizens ci ty owould intelligenceoAlLondon, n o d f ae t h nw e , aanyt b dhs a e r , b incorruptibleaeadnwmd worthy n assisted rtihst yraotfi integrity tt y ees gf t yt justiceeo nroy-t down to the present hour.—(Cheers.)

THE DINNER. In the evening, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs gave the accustomed entertainment at Guildhall, on the usual scale of splendour. The arrival of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was hailed by those assembled within the Hall by demonstrations of the greatest cordiality. Sir James Graham was also loudly cheered. Mr. Justice Erle, the newly-appointed Judge, was received with three distinct rounds of applause. The following is a list of the principal guests : The late Lord Mayor and the late Lady Mayoress, the Sheriffs and their Ladies, the French Ambas sador and the Marchioness de St. Aulaire, the Right Hon.

After the cloth had been removed, Non Nobis Domine was chanted with very good effect by the vocalists engaged for the occasion, under the direction of Mr. Ransford. Mr. TooLE, the prince of toastmasters, gave " The Loving Cup" with great eclat. The LORD MAYOR, on proposing the first toast, said—My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, —I have the honour to propose to your acceptance the health of an illustrious lady, deservedly dear to every lover of his country, and to whom we, as citizens of London, owe a debt of gratitude for the recent honour con ferred upon us in having attended the opening of a celebrated building dedicated to the purposes of com merce. I have great pleasure in offering to your notice " The health of our most gracious Sovereign the Queen."—(Three times three, and one cheer more, followed by the National Anthem.) The LORD MAYOR—I have much pleasure in pro posing to you the health of a distinguished lady—the munificent patron of every charitable institution and object in the country—" Her Majesty the Queen Dowager." (Drunk with all the honours, and fol lowed by a glee.) The next toast was, " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the consort of our beloved Queen, whose estimable character and conduct, since he came to this country, have endeared him in the estimation of every loyal subject of her Majesty."— (Drunk with three times three.) The LORD MAYOR—I trust a long period will elapse before this day loses its principal distinction. I have the honour of proposing, " Many happy returns of this day to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales," whose birth on Lord Mayor's day will al ways make its recurrence an object of peculiar grati fication to the citizens of London.—(Loud cheers.) I beg, in connexion with the health of his Royal Highness, to conjoin that of the other members of the Royal Family.—(Three times three,follo wed by a glee.) The next toast by the LORD MAYOR was, "The Army and Navy of the United Kingdom," two pro fessions that always united when the interests of the country required.—(Drunk with all the honours.) Colonel WooD, M.P. for Middlesex, acknowledged the compliment, and bore testimony to the numerous gratifying acts of kindness and distinction conferred by the City of London on the officers of both branches of her Majesty's service. The LORD MAYOR then gave t he health of " Field- Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington"--(Great cheering, followed by " See the conquering hero comes")—which was followed by. Prosperity to the City of London."—(Great cheering, followed by a glee.) The LORD MAYOR said—The next toast which I have the honour to propose is "The health of the late Lord Mayor," whose laborious year of office has just terminated. At its commencement he had the honour to be called on to defend the rights of the corporation on some most important subjects that were then in volved in discussion, and the close of his year had been marked by events not more interesting to him self than honourable to the corporation—(Cheers) — from the measures he thought it proper to pursue in the maintenance of its honour at the opening of the Royal Exchange. His conduct has been so fortunate as to meet the approbation of his Sovereign and the Government of this country, and of those whose feel ings and interests, as members of the Corporation and citizens of London, he had the distinguished honour on that occasion to represent. The honours which he has, reaped I wish him long life to enjoy.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst great applause, which, having subsided — Sir WILLIAM. MAGNAY, Bart., spoke as follows : I return you my warmest thanks for the honour you have done me in responding so kindly to the toast which has just been given from the chair. It is gratifying to me, after I have resigned the office which my fellow- citizens entrusted to me, that I should receive this mark of your regard. I can assure you that when I entered on office I felt the responsibility of the duties I had undertaken • I knew that my fellow citizen3 valued those privileges they had entrusted to my keeping ;I knew also that they could on l y ex p ect to enjoy their franchise so long as they exercised it for the public good, and so long as their officers dis charged their duties faithfully and honourably. — (Cheers.) With these feelings I entered on my year of office, and I have never ceased vigilantly to watch over the rights and interests of my fellow-citizens. It is, therefore, most gratifying to me that at the termination of my year of office I should re ceive this mark of your respect and appro bation.—(Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor has thought proper to allude to circumstances of great interest to the City of London which have occurred during my year of office. Among those, it is impossible that I should not particularly refer to the auspicious visit of his Majesty the King of the French to this country, giving, as it does, a pledge that those feelings which have produced so long a peace are cementing the bonds of amity between this country and our neigh bours on the other side of the Channel, which are growing stronger and stronger every year, and will continue, I trust, to do so for many years to come.— (Loud cheers.) I must also congratulate you that the occasion of that visit gave you and my fellow citizens an opportunity . of expressing their high ad miration of the principles which have animated his Majesty's Government, in presenting to him a loyal and dutiful address.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has been pleased to allude to another subject— one of peculiar gratification to the citizens of London, and a personal honour to myself—l allude to the recent visit of her Majesty on the opening of the Royal Exchange.—(Cheers.) The visit of her Ma jesty on that interesting occasion showed how much her Majesty consulted the welfare of her people, and the anxiety she always felt to evince her royal re spect and regard for the corporation of the City of London.—(Loud cheers.) Thanking you most sin - cerely for the honour you have done me, I assure you my Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentleman, that I am highly gratified to find, by the testimony of your ap probation, that I have conducted myself during my year of office not unworthily of its responsibilities, and transferred it unsullied to its present possessor. The LORD MAYOR—FuIIy concurring with the late Lord Mayor in his observations respecting the inte resting visit of his Majesty the King of the French to our illustrious Sovereign, and the important conse quences which may result from it in the permanent preservation of peace between the two nations, I have great pleasure in proposing the health of our illus- " The representatives of the City of London," which Mr. Masterman [acknowledged ; after which the healths of the Aldermen who had passed the chair, those who had not passed the chair, the Sheriffs, and the Recorder were given, and duly honoured ; and the company, which during the whole proceedings were more than usually good-natured and cordial in their reception of every sentiment that fell from the chair, separated before eleven. YOUNG ENGLAND AND CRICKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Much has lately been written upon " Young England," and upon their doctrine of the mutual benefit derived, by persons in the higher ranks of society, playing at cricket with the humbler classes, and of the advantages obtained from the establishment of cricket clubs. It has long been the custom, in Kent, for all classes of society to join in this healthy and manly amusement ; and the late amiable Duchess of Bucking ham always promoted the innocent pastime of cricket after service on Sunday amongst the labourers on her estate. Unlike our very sombre and Reverend Bishops, she thought the humbler classes should 'be amused as well as instructed on Sunday; for we all know that if some innocent amusement be not pro vided for them, they will resort to those dens of disease and dissipation—the public-house or the gin palace.

PRICB OF GAS AT PaEsToN.—The article of gas not less than that of water, ought to be had upon econo mic terms. At present the cost of this useful article in Preston is higher than in any other manufacturing town in Lancashire, although there are few towns I where gas can be pro duced at a cheaper rate. At Blackburn prices have been reduced from Ss. to 6s. per 1,000 feet, and in the following towns the prices stand thus :—Sheffield, 4s. 2 d. ; Bolton, 7s. Leeds, 6s. Bd. ; Liverpool, 6s. ; Glasgow and Brad ford, 7s. ; Paisley and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 7s. 6d. ; and at Manchester, where the gas-works are managed by a public body, the highest price is Gs., and in certain quantities it is sold as low as 53. per thousand cubic feet —while in this town, with equal facilities for produc tion, the general price is Bs. 4d. ! There is not the slightest reason for supposing that similar advantages might not be secured to the consumers of gas in Preston by a change like that which has occurred at Manchester. —Preston Guardian. SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS.—The shipping tonnage in these docks has increased during the last few months from a few hundred to ten thousand per month inwards THE DRAMA AT DONNYBROOK FAIR. The preponderance of exhibitions was decidedly in the theatrical line. Shakspeare was " done" in every second caravan. Poor lago—for Othello, though often under different names, seemed to be decidedly the favourite piece—poor lago did the " double deed," in the course of a couple of hours, in at least a score of places, and in the same place at least a dozen times. But to do the histrionic ladies and gentlemen who trod the boards on this occasion that justice which they have a right to claim, it is proper I should men tion that they by no means confined themselves to deeds of death : there was a pretty liberal share of the operatic, and no small allowance of the comic and farcical modes of sating. Nothing appeared to me more worthy of approbation than the expedition with which her Majesty's subjects on the Donnybrook boards severally went through their parts. They lost no time. None of the audience could complain of that. "Up with the rag"—meaning the curtain— burst from the throat of some merry-hearted auditor, and up went the curtain with the celerity of light ning. " Down with the rag," shouted another in two or three minutes afterwards, and the play was over in an instant. Even when the stage-manager and per formers were allowed to take their own time to go through their arduous duties, they evinced a most I praiseworthy desire to be economical of the time of their auditors. An opera, or something meant to be so considered ; a comedy, and a farce, were all per formed in leas than a dozen minutes. Murders were perpetrated with a dispatch not only unparalleled, but unapproached in real life. One of the most furious quarrels ever witnessed—on the stage—between hus band and wife, was adjusted in an instant ; and they who, but a minute before, well nigh frightened all present out of their wits, lest some murderous deed should in reality be committed, stood before the now delighted audience the most loving couple within her Majesty's dominions. I could not help wishing that real matrimonial quarrels were made up with an equally magical rapidity. Were such the case, hus bands and wives could afford to have daily at least a dozen " affairs of the tongue," without either party suffering in the slightest degree from the wordy col lision.—lmpressions of Ireland and the Irish, by the Author of " Random Recollections." PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A new, grand, oriental ballet, entitled The Enchanted Bell, was produced here on Saturday, with the most decided success. This ballet is the composition of Monsieur J. Roussett, and is highly creditable to his inventive powers. He himself was the hero, Azolin, a Hindoo peasant, who, seeing Pal mira (Madlle. Caroline Roussett) in a vision, falls in love with her, and ultimately wins her, notwithstand ing he has the Prince of China for his rival. Of course he meets with a variety of dangerous adven tures, but he is rescued from his difficulties by means of an enchanted bell, which a friendly sage has given him as a talisman. The scenery, by W. Beverley, Nicholls, and Aglio, is magnificent, and the costumes are superb. In the opening scene we have the interior of a Hindoo hut, with Azolin discovered sleeping. In this scene the vision of Palmira is introduced. The effect of this scene was very good, and it was much applauded. The next scene is the Sultan's garden, in which is intro duced a pas d'ensemble, by Madlle. Caroline Roussett and the whole corps de ballet. The groupings in this pas are exceedingly graceful and picturesque. In this scene there is a grand pas de trois, which was most effectively danced by Mr. Gilbert, Madlle. Adelaide, and Miss Burbidge. The first aft con cludes with a grand march and procession of female warriors, who at the close group into a most effective tableau. The second act opens with a magnificent scene, a splendid saloon in the Sultan's palace, in which is introduced a pas de sables, which was much applauded, and a pas d'amour, which was very grace fully danced by Miss Marshall and Mademoiselle Teresine. This was followed by the grand pas of the ballet—a pas de deux by Monsieur J. Roussett and Mademoiselle Caroline Roussett. This pas was indeed a perfect triumph; all the difficulties of choregraphic art were fairly encountered and fairly overcome. It was of course rapturously applauded and unanimously encored. The last scene is laid in the Sultan s gardens, and the ballet ends with the union of Azolin and Palmira. At the fall of the curtain Monsieur and Mademoiselle Roussett were called on, and re- ceived with most rapturous applause. The ballet alto gether is most superb, and will no doubt have a run. The ballet was preceded by the opera of the Syren, with Mademoiselle Nau as the heroine. The popu larity of this accomplished artiste is nightly increas ing, but we are sorry to see it announced that this sweet syren leaves us so soon. Her last appearance in this country is announced for Tuesday. We hope, however, this will not be the case; for even should the inexorable Leon Pilet refuse to grant her an addi tional conge on the present occasion, we trust that next season this gifted "child of song" may be in duced to revisit the scene of her triumphs. The house was crammed to the ceiling. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—It having become ge nerally known that her Majesty will pay a visit to this theatre to-night, the box-office has been besieged, and the house will present a brilliant assemblage—even be yond its ordinary appearance. The performances espe cially ordered are The Syren and The Beauty of Ghent. To-morrow will take place an interesting and unprece dented ceremony—the one hundredth performance of an opera, both in its music and libretto entirely native ; and to increase such interest, Mr. Balfe, the composer, who has arrived in this country from Paris to superintend his new work, will conduct 7 he Bohemian Girl in person. THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES.—The veteran Nelson Lee is actively engaged in preparing for the Surrey, the Victoria, Astley's, the Lyceum, the Queen's, Sadler's Wells, and others of the metropolitan theatres, as well as a great proportion of the larger houses in the provinces, a series of Christmas entertainments, which will, no doubt, tend materially to enhance his already extended reputation. A meeting of the Provisional Committee of the Wilts and Somerset Railway was on Tuesday held at Warminster, which was very numerously attended, Walter Long, Esq., M.P., in the chair. Mr. Brunel was present, and pointed out the country through which the line of railway is intended to pass. The line from Melksham to Devizes will cross the canal just below the furthest lock, and across the turnpike road near the Poulshot bar. It will then keep the highest ground, run as close as possible to the southern side of the prison, proceed near Mr. Anstie's house, thence through a pad dock at the back of the brewery of Messrs. Tylee, across a field belonging to Dr. Brabant, and thence through a part of the property of Mr. James Waylen. It was stated at the above meeting that Harry Biggs, Esq., and H. G. Biggs, Esq., who had been induced to sign the Warminster memorial, presented at the meeting held at Frome, had since withdrawn their names, and cordially supported the line proposed by the Great Western Railway Company. Those two gentlemen were afterwards unanimously chos en on the Provisional Committee.—Devizes Gazette.

The undeni able reality is, that the country continues to sink lower and lower in the rank of nations. France has invested her successively with the cast-off robes of her kings, and then with the cast-off cap of liberty of I er Jacobins : but Spain herself has been the chief author of her own degradation. The soil, sterile of all true greatness or manly virtue, produces only the rank weeds of revolutionary passions, of corruption, of conspiracies. THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 9.—The Oriental Company's steam-ship the Tagus, Capt. Brookes, arrived in the docks at 3 o'clock P.M. this day, and landed the Gibral tar and Peninsular mails, which will be forwarded to London by the night mail train, liar dates are—Gib raltar, Nov. Ist ; Cadiz, 2d ; Lisbon, sth ; Vigo, Rh. From the state of the weather the Tabus was unable to communicate with Oporto. The Dutch squadron was still at Gibraltar, as also her Majesty's sloop Scout and Savage brig ; Danish brig of war and one steamer ; one Swedish corvette and one schooner ; one Norwegian and one Austrian corvette. At Cadiz, a Spanish line-of ' battle ship, 74 guns, and one French vessel, 12 guns ; at Lisbon, one French brig of war, Volage, 10 guns. Nov. 8, at noon, in lat. 48 15, long. 6 37, the Tagus saw a line-of-battle ship steering to the eastward. The Tagus has ten passengers, and a full cargo of fruit. The Eleanor, Captain Wickham, arrived in the decks at noon this day from Fayal, with a large fruit cargo, a great portion of which was forwarded by railway this day, thus arriving in London on an average of four days sooner than vessels going round by sea. The Eleanor left St. Michael's on the 27th ultimo, where the Quiver and the William were loading, and expected to sail in a few days for this port. The fruit crops at Fayal are very abundant, and ready nearly three weeks earlier this season than for many years past. The railway company - are about building waggons, in which fruit can be loaded and conveyed to the London station, and then, by a crane, be lifted oil the railway trucks, and put upon carriage wheels, and transmitted to the fruit warehouses in the City without unloading and reloading into barges or waggons, thus preserving the fruit from damage. SUNDAY, 10TH, NOON.—The Oriental Company's ship the Oriental, Captain Soys, has arrived at the Mother bank. The East India and China mails are landed, and will be forwarded by this night's mail train. She has 102 passengers, and a full cargo of silk. The Oriental is expected to be released from quarantine on Tuesday next. SPIRIT or the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The English must be univer sally regared as a most unamiable people, if the lan guage of the chief organs of public opinion in all the countries around us, or in contact with us, can at all be taken as an expression of general feeling. Hated in France, execrated in Spain, vilipended even in little Greece , denounced by Dr. List as the commercial prophet of the Germans, treated with every incivility by brother Jonathan, and repudiated by sister Ire land with the scowl of Nemesis—what has England done to deserve nineteen-twentieths of such hate ? We saved France from partition and spoliation, and made her a present of constitutional freedom ; we emptied our pockets of heaps of gold and our hearts of our best sympathies and life's-blood for the Peninsula ; Greece Canning created, from the love he bore to Thucydides and Plutarch. Our Tories certainly have done their best to hurt the American and crush the Irishman ; but of late years the Tories have begun to show fear, cover ing their hate both to Ireland and to America, and even their effort is to be amiable, whilst our Liberals have not ceased to be rationally so. The phenomenon of our universal execration is, therefore, a fact worth inquiring into, in order that, if it pro ceed from manner, we should learn to improve our urbanity, if from matter, that we might seriously set about removing the cause of the world's ill humour. When with this view we seriously set to examine the causes of complaint against us, and to analyse the motives and the arguments of those who chiefly, who almost solely, raise this cry, we univer sally find that it-is not t. people's interests that the English damage or threaten ; it is their sentiments that we offend. The Spaniard, questioned respecting his grievances, tells us we ruled the country under the name of Espartero. The Greek has some com plaint as trivial. Dr. List reproaches us with the dreadful crime of manufacturing cheaper than Ger many, and daring to send and sell such produce ; one should think, to prohibit ought to satisfy his spleen, without abusing us. Jonathan says, that in addition to all the money scandalously sunk in his State bonds, we have sent more to bribe both ways the electors for the Presidential chair. The Irishman no longer complains of the penal laws, or the wealth of the Church Establishment, but says we have robbed him of his nationalty. It seems to him as if there was no such thing as collective glory, as if the Irish had no part in the triumphs and the might of the united em pire, and as if it would have been a far more collossal achievement to have kept in that glorious state of in dependent isolation which prevailed when Brian Boroihme repelled the Danes, than to have gone on in the same historical career with England ; that is, admitting strange races to superpose or interpose their vigour and variety, in order for all to blend one day into a race and an empire dominating the circum ference of the globe. There is no accounting for tastes, and this is certainly a mere matter of taste and senti ment. And yet the anti-Anglican school in Ireland is little more than this. Its politics are those not of interest but of sentiment ; and sentiment is a thing that un fortunately you cannot argue with. If we once more go the round of our abhorrers, we shall find that their Anglo-phobia is an antagonism purely of senti ment. The French thunderers use precisely the same language as the sentimental politicians of Ireland. They say that we have impaired their nationality, which they, with more reason than Pat, require to be unbounded. To establish this very quality of un boundedness, they have founded a barren empire in the Pacific, almost on the only spot where we had an interest, though merely a co-religionist one ; and they are quite mad that we should question the right of unbounded nationality to tread down our mission aries. In the same way, the abuses of the right of search are a mere matter of sentiment. Every French statesman who talks of the matter, out of public view, laughs at the sentiment of the mob on the sub ject. Thiers' cock-and-bull story of French consi deration being antoindri by the bombardment of Acre, was sentiment, mere sentiment, and sentiment, too, that no one more contemned or saw through than M. Thiers himself. But he was carried away by the current, and the French Liberal party lost power on a question of sentiment. If M. Guizot has kept it since, it is that he has paid attention to realities, and left sentiment to take care of itself. TlMES.—There is a melancholy sort of justice in the fate which appears to await Colonel Prim, unless some accident should intervene to rescue him from the vengeance of his judges, and prevent them from making him the victim of that power which he con tributed to place in their hands. The part he took in the revolution of last year was sufficiently con spicuous to have earned for him the very first honorary distinctions bestowed by the Moderados on their re turn to Madrid. his present conduct, in opposition to that Government, may have proceeded either from disappointed ambition, or from the tardy discovery that he had sacrificed the liberties of Spain to the triumph of an arbitrary and sanguinary faction ; but whatever may have been his intentions or motives, they will, in all probability, earn for him the further distinction of being shot as a traitor ; and, if the statement which has been published as to his demea nour under examination be correct, we may perhaps add that " nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." That he was engaged in a conspiracy against the present Spanish Administration is not denied; and in a country where every political party plots and conspires in turn, the present state of affairs is sufficiently momentous to set on foot an army of conspirators. But the specific charge of his having taken a part in the plot for the assassination of Nar vaez appears to rest on very insufficient evidence ; and it is at least equally probable that Narvaez has allowed this accusation to be preferred, awl will proceed to extremities against Prim, on the strength of a prede termined conviction, in order to rid himself of a rival whom he thinks dangerous, and to strike terror into the hearts of the Opposition at this crisis. If General Narvaez is not grievously belied, his character is stained by the most atrocious crimes of public and private life. The perilous sup port which he is giving at the present time to what are termed the prerogatives of the Crown rests upon no higher basis than the defence of his own person and faction, and aims at no other end than the destruction of his opponents. The work of bloodshed has already commenced at Barcelona, where four men have been executed with a horrible mixture of religious pomp and political excitement ; and if the dormant energies of the Spanish people are again roused to resist these acts of oppression, des tined to divert public attention from the inroads made upon the Constitution, the modes of attack and of defence will, we have no doubt, be equally ferocious on both sides, and equally fatal to the re-establish ment of public order and freedom. Every day and every event renders the progress of a re-action more certain ; yet, however we may deprecate the policy of the present Administration, and abhor the unscrupu lous revolutionary character of some of these pre tended loyalists, it cannot be denied that such a re action is likely to prove more formidable to the tran quillity of Spain, and the existence of the Queen's Government, than any of the changes which have preceded it. Whatever may have been the part as sumed by the Court of France in these transactions, of this much we entertain not the slightest doubt—that the apparent and temporary prevalence or ascendancy of the men and the measures supported by that Power, lead not to the establishment of a serious and perma nent alliance and connexion between the two States, but to a catastrophe from which France herself will be the principal foreign sufferer. In reality, the whole course of the French policy in Spain since the fall of Espartero has been a series of miserable fai lures ; for having, as was supposed, acquired a pre ponderating influence at Madrid by the return of the Moderados, that influence has been found totally in adequate even to protect its own chosen instruments from destruction. The true question between the re spective influences of France and England in Spain, is not which may have the largest share in the coun sels and the crimes of the faction of the hour ; but SINGULAR ROBBERY AND RESTITUTION.-011 Fri- which may be able most effectually to contribute to I day the home of Mrs. Pepperell, a widow, residing in uphold the independence and dignity of that nation Exmouth, was broken into, and 60 sovereigns and six in time of danger.

THE 'ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE. This influential body is about to resume its meet ings at Covent-garden Theatre, and with tenfold vigour. During its temporary repose from active agitation, monopolist writers have been loud in their gratulations on its presumed discomfiture. A different prospect is now opening up to them. The recent proceedings at Manchester have roused their bile, and some of the Pro-Corn-law organs have indulged in language of the grossest character when discussing this subject. No mind that is not thoroughly debased by ignorance and bigotry can do otherwise than reject with disgust the food thus offered by those who seek to pander to the worst passions and prejudices of their readers. We will not do the Conservative party the injustice to suppose that either such language, or the vile spirit that prompts it, can be in any degree acceptable to them. These remarks apply more especially to the provincial press, the London journals, with one exception (the Morning Herald) appearing to be alive to the vast influence the League is exert ing. That journal, and its joint•stock companion the Standard, has for some time past been loudly proclaim ing the death of the League. This has at length brought forth the following reply from that courtly organ of the monopolists, the Morning Post : " Our Contemporary has, within the last six months, repeatedly proclaimed that the League had died a natu ral death. Not only, however, has its spirit been with out interruption active in the economical policy of our Conservative Ministers, but the League itself—the ex tinguished League—the League which, according to the Herald, all men despised and had abandoned, is once more in the field of agitation. The leaders of the con spiracy have made their influence felt in more than one half of the borough registration courts in the kingdom ; and they are now preparing to wrest from landowners that preponderating power which they have hitherto exercised in counties. Does the Herald deny that the League possesses the power of multiplying, almost without limit, forty-shilling freeholders in a majority of English counties ? No. Our Contemporary will not venture to deny that the dead League is more full of vitality than ever." For a monopolist print this is pretty well. At all events, it shows that the Post possesses some of the honesty which the Morning Herald has long ago dis carded. For the comfort of both, it may be stated that active exertions will be made by the League during the present season ; and it will be fortunate for the bread-taxers, if they do not find their fate sealed much sooner than they anticipate. So much • for the defunct League.—Lancaster Guardian. CONVICTION OF A MILLOWNER ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—The first conviction of a millowner in a penalty for injuries received by a party in a mill, owing to the machinery being left in an inse cure state, took place this day at the Borough Court, before Messrs. D. 'Maude and S. Walker, two of the magistrates for this division, and considerable interest attached to the case, in consequence of the question raised being whether a person not a worker in a cotton mill could not receive compensation for injuries received from unprotected machinery. Mr. David Waddington, cotton-manufacturer, of Com mercial-street Mill, was summoned by Mr. Armstrong, Superintendent of Factories, to show cause why he should not be convicted in a penalty of not more than 1001., nor less than IOL, for not having securely boxed off and guarded a certain upright shaft in his weaving establishment, in consequence of which a girl, named Emma Hurst, had received serious bodily injuries. The prosecution was brought by order of the Secre tary of State, and Mr. Leonard Horner, the Factory In spector, was on the bench. The facts of the case were as follows :—The mother of Emma Hurst Land her brother were power-loom weavers, employed in No. o room of Mr. Waddington's mill, and the girl, who is twelve years old, was in the habit of coming to the mill every afternoon with her juother's and brother's tea. On the afternoon of the Bth Of October the girl came as usual with her mother's tea, and shortly afterwards was heard to utter a piercing scream, and was observed to be fast bound by her clothes to an upright shaft, and turning round at a frightful rate. Some time elapsed before she was released, and not before she had received severe injuries about her head and face. Mr. Bagshaw, of the firm of Bagshaw and Stevenson, solicitors, who appeared for Mr. Waddington, took a preliminary objection to the proceeding, his client not having had four clear days' notice, according to the Act of Parliament. He next drew the attention of the Court to the Act of Parliament. He contended that no penalty could be recovered in this instance, the intention of the Act of Parliament being to protect mill-workers, and not persons who might intrude themselves into a cotton mill. He suggested that the only clause to which he ought to be called upon to address himself was that which referred to the not fencing off the machinery, and for which the penalty was not less than 51. nor more than 20/. The 60th section used the words " any per son;" but he apprehended that the clause must be con strued strictly, and be taken to mean " any persons em ployed in a mill." Mr. MAUDE said, that looking at the clauses prior to the 60th, it would appear that the Legislature did not contemplate that any person not being a worker would be present in a mill ; but, looking at the 60th section, lie could not suppose that the words " any person " were mere surplusage. It appeared to him that the 59th section was for the purpose of protecting the factory workers, and the 60th for the purpose of protecting " other" persons. Emma Hurst was then called, and she stated, that on the day in question she had taken her mother's tea into the mill, and on passing the upright shaft she was caught by the clothes and twisted round in the manner des cribed, and received various injuries. On her cross examination she stated, that there was a tin easing round the shaft, but it was split open at the side, the opening being about the breadth of her hand, and it was through this opening that her clothes were caught by the shaft. She denied that she had been playing with the shaft. Mr. B. Fothergill, one of the managers at the exten sive works of Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, machine-makers of this town, stated that on the sth instant he went with Mr. Horner to Mr. Waddington's mill, and inspected the shaft in question. It was then performing 68 revo lutions per minute. He considered a tin casing for such a shaft as that to be very insecure, as it was constantly liable to damage. The tin casing had since been re placed by a wooden casing. Some other witnesses were called, who spoke to the in security of the casing. The COURT having intimated an opinion that they thought that the defendant was liable to the penalty under the 60th section, Mr. Bagshaw urged that this was the first case, and the Act of Parliament was not generally known. Mr. MAUDB said that the opinion of the Bench was, that there ought to be a conviction, with a penalty of 20/., and it was to be understood that such was the de cision of Cie Court; but he would consider the law a little more narrowly, and Mr. Bagshaw would know the result in the course of a few days.
