Harvey, of Regent-street. The design of the principal dishes was exceedingly beautiful, and the whole service was greatly admired. The knives and forks were perfect specimens of art; the handles representing figures of knights clad in armour, and the spoons to correspond, having the heads of the twelve Apostles elaborately chased thereon. The dessert service, manufactured expressly by Mr. . Smith, consisted of the most superb china. In the I ceutre of each piece was the royal arms, surmounted by the arms of the City of London, the Mercers' Company, and those of Sir Thomas Gresham, all splendidly emblazoned in gold and purple. The wine glasses placed on the royal table were unique in design, and elaborately engraved.

The d'oyleys for the Queen's use were of peach coloured satin, trimmed with lace of the most valua ble description. In the corners of each were worked the figures of a crown, a sceptre, a grasshopper, and the arms of the City of London, the whole present ing one of most perfect specimens of that description of manufacture which it is possible to imagine. Behind the Royal table was a magnificent display of plate, tastefully arranged on a framework covered with crimson drapery.

" We regard the work before us, '‘ The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 26.—The deputation of the Senate waited on the King yesterday to present the address in reply to his Majesty's speech. The King received the deputation very graciously, expressing his satis faction at receiving the address. The Chamber of Representatives met to discuss the draft of the address. M. Verhaegen moved to defer the discussion till Monday ; the motion was rejected by a majority of 36 to 21, and the address was voted without discussion. Twelve Members declined voting, alleging that they had not time to consider the address. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—ln the night of the 2d of this month Pera, which has so often suffered by fire, was again visited by a great conflagration. The fire broke out in the quarters built of wood, and spread with great rapidity towards the north-west, and was not got down till it had raged for eight hours. The great street of Pera owing its safety chiefly t o t h e long stone wall of the building belonging to the Rus sian Legation. The lowest estimate makes the num ber of houses reduced to ashes 200, the highest 400. We need not wonder at the difference, the streets and lanes, with few exceptions, being without names, and all the houses without numbers. According to other letters, which we shall publish to-morrow, the fire which destroyed the handsomest and richest houses in Pera was wilfully caused by the Turks.

The menu presented to her Majesty by Mr. Staples was of a most tasteful design and richly illuminated. On a groundwork of delicate satin was printed a beautiful steel engraving of the Royal Exchange, with the Duke of Wellington's statue in the fore ground. This engraving, surmounted the bill of fare, occupying the centre, the blanks on either side being filled up with the letters "V. R." in gold and colours. The menu was surrounded by a rich border of gold, inlaid with purple and crimson, and a beautiful fringe, formed of the satin, itself encircled the whole, which, altogether was exceedingly creditable to the skill of the artists, the well-known Messrs. De ht Rue, of Bunhill-row. A copy in every respect similar to that above de scribed, with the exception of the cypher, was pre pared for the Prince Consort, and both were pre sented to the royal pair at the same time, by Mr. Staples, who submitted them upon a small slab of rich crimson velvet. Before rising from the table her Majesty expressed her admiration of the beautifully executed bill of fare, and requested that it might he forwarded to Windsor. Prince Albert presented his copy to his Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, who had also greatly admired it. THE ILLUMINATIONS. The illuminations were chiefly confined to the Strand and the City. West of Charing-cross there were only two displays, of neat but ordinary character, one in the centre of Pall-mall, and the other in Pall-mall East. The Opera House, the Haymarket, and other theatres in that direction were all as dark as a foggy 'evening could make them. Fleet -street, Ludgate-hill, and Cheap side bore the belle. The following applies to public buildings:— • MerCers' Hall, Cheapside.—ln addition to the elabo rately decorated balcony of this building, the front was tastefully decorated with splendid silken union jacks and the royal standard of England. The Commercial Life Assurance had a very well arranged gas illumination, consisting of the Royal initials " V. and A.," supporting an Imperial projecting crown of large dimensions. The General Post-office, although not exactly in the line of the Royal route, exhibited on the summit of its portico a magnificent silken royal standard in honour of the occasion. Sidney and Hall, tea-dealers (the house of Mr. Sheriff Sidney)—A beautiful decoration, consisting of the royal standard, supported by the streamers and other banners of the Girdlers' Company, of which the Hon. Gentleman is a member. Messrs. Hoare's Banking -house—Two large union jacks, suspended from the roof, supporting in the centre a beautiful blue silk banner, having inscribed on it, in letters of gold, " Vi ctor i a ; God bless our Queen and the land we live in," supporting the imperial crown. St. Dunstan's galleries had erected over them, in the centre of the laurels, &c., with which they were now co vered, a transparency, with the portraits of the Queen and Prince Albert, with a motto, " God bless them." Both entrances to the Temple, facing Fleet-street, were brilliantly illuminated in variegated and amber coloured lamps ; and much amusement was created in this locality during the evening, by the exhibition of various-coloured fires, and which caused the assemblage of an immense mass of spectators. The Banking-house of Sir J. Paul, Bart., Strand—A very neat illumination, the windows being hung with fes toons interwoven with branches of laurel. Messrs. Twining and Co., Tea-dealers—A large bulging imperial crown, jewelled, supported by the royal initials " V. A.," in var i egated lamps. Farmers' Life Insurance Office—A large crown, sur mounting the letters V. A. in gas. At Kirk's, late Procter's, No. 101, Fleet-street, Snuff manufacturer to her Majesty, the words " A Fair Ex change," in variegated lamps, with " V. A." on each side of the royal arms, and a Brunswick star above. Isherwood and Son, paper -hanging manufacturers and decorators to her M ajesty, No. 35, Ludgate-hill—A splendid star, "V. A. in gas, with banners. The Strand Theatre —A most beautiful illumination, consisting of a transparency in three compartments ; the one on the left consisting of a medallion of her Ma jesty surrounded by a scroll work of tasteful design, with wreaths of flowers. The right compartment, a similar medallion of Prince Albert. In the middle com partment was the City shield, with the motto, "Dentine dirige nos," underneath whi c h were the royal ciphers v.R." in intricate scroll work. The whole supported by laurel, with the rose of England in the centre. map publisher—A v er y t aste f u l transparency, Wyld, representing in the upper right hand corner the initials " V.A.," and in the other " A.V." Beneath was the re presentation of the globe, upon which was written " Hap piness and Peace," England being brought out most pro. minent. Beneath the whole length of the balcony the word " Victoria." The London Dock House, Princes-street, Bank—A large bulging crown, in variegated lamps, supported by the letters " V. A.," in white lamps. North and South American Coffee-house, Thread needle-street—The Royal initials "V. R." in white lamps, supporting a magnificent“ star, in the sa me co loured r V. in the centr e , pi c k e d out in blue. Clothworkers' Hall, Mincing - lane—This was the only hall illuminated, the illumination consisting of the letters " V. R." and above the Imperial crown, in gas. l s a o s, r w n it g h the cipher Below was a star, and at each of the six windows of the building festoons in white lamps. Jones and Son, late Blades, Cut Glass Man u f ac t urers to her Majesty and Royal Family, 5, Ludgate-hill—A super b Star of the Order of the Garter, brilliantlyilluminated with gas jets, and surmounted on either side by six rich silk national flags. Office of the Illustrated London News —Device a grasshopper, in brilliant gas lights, with the inscription, " Victoria, Queen of Commerce ;" the front decorated with flags and banners. The line of seats in the church yard of St. Clement's opposite, was also decorated with national flags. Mr. F. Rose, 70, Strand—A splendid tazza fountain, throwing jets of water ; also the letters "V. A." Mr. A. Pendrigh, Wine and Spirit Merchant, Royal Yacht, Stanhope-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields—Star and flags. We devote a considerable portion of our space this morning to a detail of the memorable event of which the City of London was yesterday the scene. The honours conferred by her Majesty on the metropolis of her em pire, however distinguished, can only be general ; but individualised it Maj es t y , w i th graceful condescension, it on this occasion by intimating in the most, flattering terms to the gentleman who so worthily fills the office 'of Oh i*f - Magistrate;. that it was the Royal intention to —create him . forthoith a Baronet of the United Kingdom. *This mark of distinction is not only a compliment to the 'City. in.-the-pesson.ofits Lord Mayor, but a proof of her Majesty's sympathy with the general feeling of the .-citizens that hiaLordship's zealous and able performance of the duties of the mayoralty are deserving of every praise. —Post.

At half-past one o'clock a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing in Mr. Moon as Alderman, and upon other business. Sir PETER LAURIE rose and said he had great pleasure in movinc , a vote of thanks to Sir William" Magnay, Bart., for his dignified conduct in the grand ceremonial visit of her most gracious Majesty on the opening of the Royal Exchange. Sir C. S. HUNTER seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman LUCAS, Mr. Alderman WILSON, Mr. Alderman WOOD, and Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER, congratulated the Lord Mayor on the dignity which had been conferred on him, and hoped he would live long to enjoy the honour. _ The motion was put, and carried unanimously. Sir WILLIAM MAGNAY said he sincerely thanked the Court for this mark of their kindness, and he could assure them he felt gratified at th e hi g h honour which had been conferred upon him. Mr. CAcHEE, from the Lord Mayor's Court, then read the return of Mr. Moon, as well as the protests from Mr.p.Salomons and the inhabitants. Mr. Moon was then ordered to be called in, when Mr. WIRE rose and said, on the part of Mr. Salomons, he protested against the return. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTRER—Your protest cannot be received. A GENTLEMAN said he also wished to protest. The RECORDER—It can only be done by memorial. Mr. Moon was then ordered to come in, but the Court was so crowded as to render it impossible for the newly elected Alderman to enter. Mr. Alderman COPELA.ND moved that the Court be cleared, which was done ; and Mr. F. G. Moon was then sworn in as Alderman of Portsoken ward. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-EVENING SITTINGS. Alderman WOOD rose to move " That it be recom mended to the Judges and Commissioners of the Central Criminal Court to discontinue the evening sittings, and to hold three daily courts for the better dispatch of business." He thought it would be ad visable to divide the motion into two parts, and there fore, without discussing the merits of the question, he should move the recommendation of the discon tinuance of the evening sittings. As the Judges were to meet on Saturday to adopt the regulations for the sittings during the next Mayoralty, he thought there could not occur a more favourable opportunity. Alderman FAREBROTHER insisted that notice ought to be given of the division of the motion. Alderman COPELAND declared that such an altera- tion as that suggested by Alderman Wood would be productive of the greatest possible inconvenience to him and other commercial men in the Court, whose business necessarily occupied them in the early part of the day, and - made it impossible for them to change their habit of sitting in the Central Criminal Court at any other time than the evening, without prejudice to their families. If these early courts were esta blished, he for one should be obliged to throw up his gown. He protested against talking to the Judges upon such a subject. Alderman LUCAS said the Court had better agree amongst themselves on the propriety of such a change before they talked to the Judges about it. They ought to consider whether juries and witnesses, as well as magistrates, would not be inconvenienced by such an innovation, and certainly they were bound to feel the pulses of their constituents on such a theme. Sir PETER LAURIE believed that the doing away of evening sittings in the Central Criminal Court would do serious injury to the ..public. It was ob jected that after-dinner sittings were for certain rea sons calculated to operate against rational and judi cious discussions. But it would be remembered, that for several hundred years not a single law had been made before dinner. The members of that Court were willing to give up their time to the public, but they were not ready to sacrifice themselves to public caprice. But the motion had no seconder, and must fall to the ground. Alderman Woon said he had not discussed the subject, for it was one which could not properly be discussed in many respects openly. There were ob jections to evening sittings which might be very well imagined, but which he did not think it would be prudent to describe.—(A laugh.) Sir Peter Laurie had argued that Acts of Parliament were made after dinner. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why some of them were so unintelligible, obscure, and nonsensical.— (A laugh.) But the making of an Act of Parliament was very different from the proceedings necessary to be adopted in a court of criminal justice, where the lives of our fel low-creatures were perhaps dependent upon a close, and scrupulous, and clear attention to everything connected with the case. In circumstances of such a serious nature it would not do to ring a bell, as was done for a division on making Acts of Parliament, to rouse the Members from their dinner and wine, to decide upon a question of the merits of which they were often grossly ignorant. lie saw that the Court was oppose to a change which would effect great benefit to the community ; but they would probably, before long, get a hint from Parliament, which would convince them of the necessity of adopting the mea sure he suggested. No seconder having appeared, the subject dropped. —Adjourned. It is our unpleasant duty to announce the death of Theobald Spottswood, Esq., J.P., of Caherciveen, and two boatmen, father and son, by drowning. On Satur day last these parties went out to fish near Valentin, and, unfortunately, the boat upset, and they all met with a watery grave.—Kerry Evening Post. ACCIDENT TO THE HON. GEORGE EGERTON.—The Hon. George Egerton, second son of Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, has been thrown from his horse, a high spirited animal, in the Fulham-road, and received some very severe contusions in his fall. The horse was so in jured as to be obliged to be killed. The Hon. Gentle man is going on favourably, and no serious apprehension is entertained as to the result. ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGIITON RAILWAY.—AS an engine, which had carried down a special train on Satur day, was passing through Folly-hill Cutting, a short distance from Hayward's-heath, on its return to town, a jolting motion intimated that the wheels had passed over some obstruction on the line. The engine was at once stopped, and, on the driver returning to the place, he found that a man, who must have been lying on the rails, was nearly cut in two by the wheels, which had pased over the abdomen. He was quite dead. The man turned out to be a labourer, named Mitchell, a n d on i n • re o h n ah S l a y tu t r a d h ay en quirt' we learn that he had been drinking a t several go home,pa o n and a t t ten o'clockhad p public-houses and beer-shops during Saturd a y, an d that night,he p a r t i e n d o f r ro d m er a to com the railroad as his nearest road, ,till, overcome by liquor, he probably lay down to sleep, My DEAD FRIEND,—The unexpected arrival vessel which has looked in upon us on her way direct to England, gives me the opportunity of sending you: a letter with the knowledge that you will most pro- ..--- bably receive it within four months of this date; a period which, howeyer : l4agA,!;? Y, os, compartively short to the time which we lint: many - of our letters have been on their trauels. Some a them most probably have never reached you ; for I hear frequent reports of the irregularities of our post office, and we send our letters. indifferently by way of India, Valparaiso, Sydney, or Van Dieman's Land. To begin from the beginning, I will suppose you have already heard, that tired of waiting in Nelson for the machinery I expected, and seeing that when it did come out, it would require more money to set it in motion than I had any chance of possessing, I resolved to remove to my section of fifty acres of land at Motucka, on the opposite side of the hay to Nelson, about sixteen miles in a direct line. I started accord ingly, taking the boys with me, and leaving Sarah, with the girls until I had got some of the roughest work over. So I pitched my tent on the edge of a wood, about three-quarters of a mile from the sea, and began cutting down wood, digging drains, making a road, &c. My first object, of course, was to make myself a holie ? which I determined to build of legs in the American b zanner, but from being obliged to begin work in the iny season, and from having to do with men who, from var;ous causes, had got a great idea of d o i ng exac tly as th e y p leased, my so that progress was not equal to my wish es, when my dear Sarah insisted upon coming over three months afterwards, I was obliged to receive her our tent, where we spent four months of the summer season, leading a complete gipsy life, cooking in the open air, and with no further defence against intru sion of all kinds than a simple piece of canvass, fast ened with a hook and eye. This, however, we found sufficient ; we found the few settlers here excellently disposed, and willing to render us any assistance in their power, and we are on the best of terms with the natives, to whom my character of a doctor is a wonder ful recommendation. I have now another part to play, having been made a magistrate, or, as the natives call me, Governor of Motucka. To return to ourselves; we have at last got into our house, which arah tells me does great credit to my skill and taste as an ar chitect, and which, when finished—for I have not g . "Pt up my chimneys yet, making use of a stone—she thinks will be one of the most convenient in the colony, as I know for its size it will he one of the cheapest ; for, looking at our number in family, I thought it no use cramping ourselves, and yet it has not cost more, in labour and materials, than 1201. We have been in it about three months, and every week adds something to its comforts, although I can very well fancy any one accustomed to English ideas looking about and wondering where they were. But the fact is, that no one who has not begun from the beginning has the least idea—the faintest conception —of how he is indebted to the co-operation of those around him, or the labours of those who came before him. After lying on the floor one enjoys the luxury of a bed, even a truckle one ; after going without milk or butter, I enjoy being the owner of a cow, though I have to milk her myself, and prefer taking my axe, and cutting a log, for the fire, even to the luxury of paying 325. per ton for best Walls-end coals. I ought not, however, to omit saying that my boys are becoming very useful. John and Fred. milk the cow almost always, and Graham drives her home, whilst Mary assists her mother, plies her needle, and hears the younger ones their lessons, whilst each, in turn, takes charge of baby, who is a general favourite, and promises fair to be one of the brightest of the lot. We have eaten potatoes of our own growing, and eggs from our own poultry, and shall soon eat pork of our own raising. I went out, on one occasion, to catch fish, but, after being out all night, and sleeping on the sands by a drift wood fire, I came to the conclusion that, as long as the natives would sell fish of forty pounds, weight_ for a shilling, I could employ : my, tiw - ,nrOTES::: - '3 profitably. Our woods have, also, for some Month's,' abounded with pigeons; and, although I hesitated at first to entrust John with a gun, yet, since I have done so, I have had no reason to regret it, and he has sometimes brought home as many as half-a-dozen birds at a time. Then, what you in England call necessaries of life, and we out here style foreign luxuries, are very cheap :—rice, lid. per lb.; moist sugar, ditto; coffee„6d. Flour is 'dear-; but we hope soon to be independent of foreign countries in that particular, and I have tasted some excellent 'ale from barley grown in in the colony. So you see there is no great chance of our starving; in fact,' we may be said to possess the three essentials-1--a house over our heads, good food, and good clothing; and, if we occa sionally feel doubtful about- the future, we do but partake of the....c.ommon-let--eflnortality, §incirßia of us know what. lavdttA (nth. . , the meantime;' tv.:".g6t de"preea f. we have not 'Porgotiteri' - .77. :4, to . laugh ; and the other .- aye.,VW' htftett „Moat, only regretted some of. our rfriends-AV4e"'lnot• within hearing.
