Io.—We learn that M. Guinotte and M. Von Albrouk, who left Belgium at the end of June, to go to Mexico, there to direct the construction of a rail way from Vera Cruz to St. Juan, have safely arrived there, and have been received in the most kindly manner by the Mexican authorities. The Nouvellest des Flanders says:—" Some journals have stated that the It( v. Father Walle was going shortly to Guatemala, and that the principal object of his mission was to found a college at St. Thomas. A person very well informed gires us the following account :—' It is not at Ft. Thomas, but in Guatemala, the chief city of the Republic, that a college is to be founded. The city of Guatemala has 40,060 inhabitants, and no college has yet been established there. It is at the re quest of the Government of Guatemala and the reiterated applications of the worthy Archbishop of that city that Father Walle returned to Belgium, and afterwards went to Rome, to confer with his superiors on the establishment of the college, in the Republic of Guatemala. The establishment of a college is only the secondary object of Father Walle ; the principal is the establishment of a new mission, to be called the mission of Guatemala, of which Father Walle will be the chief. Among the members of the Society already selected to form part of this mission, there are two Italians, one German, and three Spaniards ; all the others are Bel gians. The necessary preparations will not allow the missionaries to sail in less than two or three months.'" BRUSSELS. OCT. 11.—The King is expected to return from Ardenne to-morrow. We expressed, two days ago, a wish that the postal convention, concluded between England and Belgium, might be carried into effect as soon as possible. We now learn from England that the treaty was definitely signed on the 9th. M. Delpierre, belonging to the Bel gian Legation at London, is to set out for Brussels to morrow (the 11th), as the bearer of the treaty. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BansseLs, Ocr. 11.

There till be an election at Queen's College, on Thurs day, November 14, of an Exhibitioner on the Michel foundation at that college. Candidates must be natives of the province of Canterbury, between fifteen and twenty years of age. The usual certificate and testi monials must be delivered to the Provost by the respec tive candidates on or before the 9th of November. The examination will commence on Monday, the 12th, at ten A.M. On the 31st inst. there will be an election at Lincoln College to a fellowship, open to natives of Lincoln. Candidates are required to represent satisfactory proof of the place of their birth, and testimonials of good con duct, to the rector, before twelve o'clock on Saturday, the 26th. A convocation was holden to-day, at twelve o'clock, to elect a yeoman law beadle, in the room of Mr. W. Lyde, who died on Thursday last, when Mr. J. Shepperd was chosen to succeed him. GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.—A general Court martial assembled on Friday, at Chatham Barracks, of which Sir Michael Creagh, K.H., Lieutenant-Colonel of the 11th, was President, and Mr. George Piper, late Lieutenant-Colonel, Deputy-Judge Advocate, for the trial of Charles Harris, a private soldier of the 58th Regiment. There were three charges against the pri soner. 1. For having at Chatham, on or about the even ing of the 24th of May, or morning of the 25th of May, 1844, effected his escap from the main-guard, when a prisoner there, awaiting the sentence of a General Court martial. 2. For having, on or about the evening of the 24th of May, or morning of the 25th of May, 1844, de serted from the detachment of the 58th Regiment, sta tioned at Chatham, and not returned until brought back under a military escort at Chatham, on or about the 6th of August, 1844. 3. For having, at or about the time specified in the first charge, lost through neglect, or de signedly made away with, the following articles of his regimental clothing and necessaries, viz, one shirt, one pair of cloth trousers, one pair of boots, one pair of socks, and one forage cap. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. It appeared the prisoner, on the evening in question, was lacked up in the main guard-room, in the presence of the officer and sergeant of the guard, and on examining the prisoner's room the next morning the prisoner was not to be found. To have effected his escape. the prisoner must have passed through the guard, in which there was upwards of twenty men, besides the guard outside on duty. The lock on the door examined had not been disturbed, and therefore it was evident that some of the men on duty at the guard must have been accessory to the prisoner's escape. The circumstance created considerable sensation i❑ the barracks at the time, and Sir T. Willshire, Bart., commandant of the garrison, had all the men that composed the guard that night before him and other commanding officers, but nothing whatever could be learned by what means the prisoner escaped, and after a few days' patient investi gation, Sir T. Willshire ordered every man of the guard to Tilbury Fort, there to await their embarkation for India, as he could no more trust one of them in the bar racks at Chatham. The officer that was on duty that night belonged to the 68th, and he had previously left for Dover with a detachment. The sentence of the Court will not be known until confirmed by the Horse Guards. DEATH OP AN OPIUM EATER.—On Friday, Mr. William Baker, jun., deputy-coroner, held an inquest at the George and Vulture. High-street, St. George-in-the- East, on view of the body of Mr. Benjamin James Scott Parkhurst, aged 34, the son of a gentleman of indepen dent property, residing in Essex. Mr. Rodie Parkhurst, Sack ville-street, Piccadilly, clerk in a Government office, said that he was the brother of the deceased, who followed no professional occupation and lived upon his property. He has travelled in China, and nearly in all parts of the world. Witness saw him a fortnight ago, when he appeared in good health, and in his usual spirits. Witness is not aware of any circumstance to produce unhappiness, except some slight difference that he had with his family. He never heard his brother threaten that he would commit self-destruction. He had a habit of eating opium, which he contracted while in China- He was about to leave the country for Algoa Bay in a ship which was now in the London Docks. Robert Mutton, eating-housekeeper, No. 156, Ratcliff-highway, stated that last Monday week the deceased took apartments at his house, intending to remain till a vessel (the Jim Crow) in which he was about to embark for Algoa Bay, was ready to sail. He drank no beer nor spirits, and observed that he had been accustomed to drink only water all his life.,He was acquainted with a young woman named Eliza Brazier, an inmate of Wap ping workhouse. On Monday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock, the deceased returned home very unwell. He observed that he was accustomed to eat and smoke opium to allay a nervousness he was subject to, and that he had just swallowed some which had affected him differently from any he bad taken before. Between two and three o'clock in the morning, witness and one of his lodgers as sisted the deceased to bed, when as he was getting worse, Mr. Garratt, a surgeon was sent to, whose assistant in stantly attended and applied the stomach-pump. Deceased died about three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The amount of 91. 7s. 6d. was in his trousers pocket. By the Coroner. I am of opinion that the deceased did not take the opium to destroy life. The deceased stated that Eliza Brazier was living with him in Devonshire, and that he wanted her to marry him. She refused, upon which he paid herexpenses to London. She was soon after compell.d to enter Wei)t ping workhouse. Mr. M. B. Garratt, surgeon, New-road, St. George's-in-the-East, said he saw the deceased about three o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he was suffer ing from the effects of opium, for which he was treated. He made a post mortem examination of the body, and found some portions of these grains of crude opium in the contents of the stomach. At the base of the brain also was about half an ounce of serous fluid. He attri • buted death to the opium, which had produced the ap•• pearance at the base of the brain. William Stanley, porter, at Wapping workhouse, said that the deceased called at the workhouse on Friday and Sunday, to in quire after Eliza Brazier. On Sunday he gave witness five shillings for her, and he requested witness to tell her to reform her ways, and that he (deceased) hoped that she would not follow such an abandoned life as sbe had been leading. Verdict—" That the deceased died from the effects of opium taken by him," but in what state of mind he was at the time, there was not sufficient evidence to the jury. MR. O'CONNEI.L.—We have been informed that Mr. O'Connell is expected to land at this port about the ' middle of next month, on his promised visit to England, and that it is in contemplation to entertain him on that occasion at a public dinner, to be given at Clifton. — Bristol Mercury. ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Tuesday eve ning an alarm was given that a fire was raging at Titton, one mile and a half from Stourport ; upon arriving at the scene of devastation it was discovered that a large barn, with four bays, and a stable belonging to Air. Williams, of Titton, were completely enveloped in flames, containing the whole of the year's produce of wheat, barley, and oats, and likewise a waggon and other agri cultural implements. The engine from Stourport ar rived in about an hour and a half after it was on fire, but too late to save the building of grain. How it originated is not known, as many persons had passed a few minutes before, and all was apparently safe. It is said that the stock was insured, but not to the full amount.— Worcester Herald. Lord Ashley is making a tour through Lancashire to inquira into the operation of the Factory Act. Last Monday he visited several of the establishments in Bol ton.--Leeds Mercury. There were as many as twenty-two funerals yes terday afternoon at St. John's-wood Chapel, Regent's park, a larger number than was ever known there, with the exception of when the cholera prevailed, when there were sometimes as many as twenty-eight or thirty. The scene presented was deeply solemn and affecting. Accounts from the Leipsic fair state, that it had opened with considerable activity in the cloth depart ment. Large order had been received from Switzerland, Italy, America, Sweden, and Norway, as well as for eastern countries. The prices obtained for woollen fabrics, are stated to be equal to those asked.

On Saturday the Lord Mayor, accompanied by se veral of the Aldermen, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, Mr. Moon and Mr. Lawrence, the mover and seconder of the address of the Corporation to the King of the French, and the rest of the numerous deputation, consisting of about sixty members, assembled at the Guildhall, for the purpose of going in procession to Windsor to present it to his Majesty. Amongst the deputation we observed Sir C. S. Hunter, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir Chapman Marshall, Sir G. Carroll, and Aldermen Challis and Farncombe, Deputy Peacock, Deputy Stevens, Deputy Hicks, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, Mr. Cope, Mr. Lott, Mr. John Dixon, Mr. Obbard, &c. . At eleven o'clock the deputation proceeded in car riages to the railway terminus at Paddington, where a special train was in readiness to convey them to the Slough station. Upon their arrival at Slough the Lord Mayor entered the State carriage, which had been sent down on the preceding day, and the other members of the deputation got into carriages which were provided for them. The streets of Windsor were densely crowded by the inhabitants of the town and the surrounding neighbourhood. The procession moved along slowly to the great quadrangle of the Castle, where they were received by the officers of her Majesty's house hold. in their state liveries. They were, upon alighting from their carriages, shown into St. George's Hall. After waiting there for a short space of time, they were conducted into a suite of rooms in which a most sumptuous en tertainment and the finest wines were laid out. After they had refreshed themselves, the Sheriffs, attended by the Remembrancer, waited upon his Majesty to intimate that the deputation had arrived, and to learn at what time it would be his Majesty's pleasure to receive the address, and the officers very soon after wards returned, and stated that the King of the French would, with the greatest pleasure, receive them at that moment. Th e d eputat i on t h en followed the Sheriffs to the saloon, in which his Majesty, at tended by M. Guizot, and others of his suite, was pre pared to receive them. His Majesty, upon the intro duction of the deputation, bowed most cordially to the Lord Mayor and to the rest of the deputation. The Recorder then read the following address : " TO HIS MAJESTY LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF THE FRENCH, THE ADDRESS OF THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS, OF THE CITY. OF LONDON, IN COMMON COUN CIL ASSEMBLED. " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY—We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Co mmons o f t h e Ci t y o f Lond o n, in Common Council assembl e d, a pp roac h your Majesty to offer our sincere congr a t u l at i ons on your Majesty's auspicious visit to our b e l ove d an d grac i ous S overe i gn Queen Victoria. " Deeply interested in every event which is calculated to influence the welfare of E uro p e an d o f man ki n d, we hail with peculiar satisfaction your Majesty's presence in this country . as a sure and certain indication of the mu tual good-will and : the recipr oca l sen ti ments o f respect and confidence which subsist between two mighty na tions, capable, by their happy un i on an d com bi ne d ef forts, under Divine Providence, of preserving the bless ings of peace to the nations of the earth. "We desire to convey to your Majesty these senti ments towards the free, gallant, and enli g ht ene d na ti on over whom you reign, and we fervently trust that your Majesty's valuable life may long be spared to your peo ple to continue to promote their best interests, and with them to advance the general happiness of mankind. Sire, you visit a scene where the highest domestic enjoy ment is found to be associated with the highest functions of sovereignty ; to return after a brief sp ace i n t o th e bosom of an illustrious and united family, to dispense the blessings of paternal government, and to communi cate and experience the inestimable endearments of social life." His Majesty then read the following most gracious answer in the most impressive manner : "My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London,—l receive, with heartfelt satisfaction, the address of congratulation which you have just pre sented to me, by the gracious authorisation of your beloved Sovereign. In coming to offer to the Queen of these realms a proof of the sincere and unalterable friendship I bear to her Majesty, I am happy to find that the City of London—that illustrious city which holds so prominent a place in the world, and which re presents interests of such magnitude —are come to the royal residence to manifest to me sentiments so perfectly congenial to my own feelings, and to the sense I enter tain of my duties towards my country, towards Europe► and towards mankind. " I am convinced as you are that peace and friendly relations between France and England are, for two na tions made to esteem and honour each other, a source o innumerable and equal advantages. The preservation of that good understanding is, at the same-time, a pledge of peace to the world at large, and secures the tranquil and regular progress of civilisation for the benefit of all na tions. I consider my co-operation in this holy work, under the protection of Divine Providence, as the mis sion and the honour of my reign. Such has been the aim and the object of all my efforts, and I trust that the Almighty will crown them with success. " I thank you, in the name of France and in my own, for this manifestation of your sentiments. They will be fully appreciated in my country, coupled, as they are, with the many tokens of friendship which I have re ceived from your gracious Sovereign. " I thank you most cordially for your kind feeling towards myself and my family. The impression pro duced upon me by the presentation of your address will never be effaced from my heart." His Majesty then handed the answer which he intd just read, to the Lord Mayor, most cordially shook gliN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1844 I hands with his Lordship, and entered into conversa tion with him in the m o st cour t eous manner : " I well remember your father, Mr. Magnay," said his Majesty. " I had the happiness of seeing him in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion-house when he Oki the high situation which you now hold. I remember him with much pleasure, and the hospitable manner in which he received me." The Lord Mayor, in acknowledging the compli ment with which his Majesty honoured him, said he hoped his Majesty would be graciously pleased to visit the citizens of London, either at the Mansion. house, or at Guildhall, before his departure. " I assure you," replied the King, " that if I had time, etiquette should not interfere with my hearty wish, but my time is limited. I should wish very much to visit Guildhall, the Mansion-house, and Fishmonger's Hall." The Lord Mayor having expressed his gratification at hearing his Majesty express himself so cordially about places of such favourite resort to his fellow citizens, the King said, laughing— " Why, Magnay, I know all the wards in the City of London as well as you know them." The King then recognised the Recorder, and, shaking hands with him, said, "Ah ! Mr. Law, I am happy to see you. I well knew Mr. Thomas Law, an uncle of yours, in America. He was married to a grand-daughter of General 'Washington." Some amusement was caused by a mistake which the King made when Sir C. S. Hunter was presented to him. " Sir Peter Laurie," cried his Majesty, "I am happy to see you. I have heard and read a great deal about you." Immediately afterwards, his Majesty, observ ing Mr. Moon, the mover of the address, took him by the hand, and said, "Mr. Moon, I know you per fectly. I have heard of your encouragement of the arts, and I have derived great pleasure from the examination of your admirable engravings. I find, too, that you have an excellent way of making speeches." The King probably alluded to the observations made by Mr. Moon in proposing the address in the Court of Common Council on Thurs. day last. As the deputation were departing, the King of the French again shook hands with the Lord Mayor, and said, " I assure you, my Lord, that I feel the highest possible gratification at this evidence of the feeling of respect and approbation from you and your fellow citizens." At the door of one of the outer chambers the depu tation met the Duke of Wellington, who very warmly welcomed the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. R. Lambert Jones, and several other members, who were personally known to his Grace, and intimated that he should attend the Queen to the Royal Ex change on the day of the opening of that building. " By the bye, Jones," said the Duke, " Do you know when her Majesty intends to have the ceremony per formed ?" "No, your Grace, her Majesty has not yet named the day." WINDSOR CASTLE, SATURDAY. The Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the City of London having to day presented the address, with drew, and proceeded in procession to Slough, where a grand dinner took place thi- evening ; the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress ; Mr. Alderman Humphery, M.P., and lady ; Mr. ex-Sheriff Moon, and numerous others being present at the magnificent entertain ment, which was served up in an elegant style at the Royal Hotel. This afternoon, at a few minutes before four o'clock, his Majesty Louis Philippe, accompanied by the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, left the Castle in an open carriage and four, for Eton College. The royal party, upon entering the quadrangle, were loudly cheered by the boys, the whole of whom were assembled in the squar e . Upon alighting at the gateway of the clock tower, her Majesty and her il lustrious visitors were received by the Provost, the Vice-Provost, the Head and Lower Masters, and the Rev. Jon Wilder, one of the fellows, and conducted, first, to the election chamber, in which the whole of the assistant masters were assembled. Here, upon looking out at the window into the quadrangle, their Majesties were again most loudly cheered by the boys. Thence they proceeded through the election chamber into the library, where Louis Philippe, and also her Majesty and the Duke of 'Wellington, wrote their names in the visitors' book. Fro:n the library they proceeded to the chapel, and afterwards visited the upper school, and left for the Castle at five o'clock. Previously to leaving this ancient seat of learning, the King of the French very graciously promised to present his bust to the Provost, to be placed in the college library. The royal carriages were followed by the boys (up wards of 700) cheering vociferously throughout the whole distance from the college through Eton and Windsor up to the very gates of the Castle. His Majesty did not leave the royal residence after hi 3 re turn from Eton. A deputation of Frenchmen residing in this country had the honour of an audience of his Majesty this morning, between ten and eleven o'clock. The de putation remained with his Majesty nearly half an hour. THE DUKE DE MONTPENSIER'S VISIT TO WOOLWICH. WOOLWICH, OCT. 12. Precisely at ten o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier, accompanied by General do Rumigny, Colonel Dumas, and att e nd e d by Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, C. 8., of the Royal Horse Artillery, and Equerry to Prince Albert, arrived at Woolwich in one of the royal carriages and four horses, and on alighting opposite the guard of the Royal Artillery, in the Royal Arsenal, the Duke de Montpensier was received by Major-General James Webber Smith, C.B. Director-General of Artil lery ; Colonel Cockburn, of ! the laboratory department ; Colonel Paterson, commandant of the garrison, in the absence of Lieut.-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H. ; Colonel Lacy, of the carriage department; Colonel Cleaveland, commanding officer of the field bat teries ; Colonel Jones, Assistant Adjutant. General ; Colonel Mercer, RON al Marines; Lieut.-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., and several other officers. Afield battery, consisting of four light six-pounder guns, was stationed on the wharf of the Royal Arsenal under the command of Captain Robe, and fired a royal salute on the Duke de Montpensier descending from the royal carriage, and the royal standard was hoisted on the flagstaff during the time his Royal Highness remained in the arsenal. The first place visited was the foundry, over which his Royal Highness was conducted by Lieut.-Colonel Dundas, head of the department, and witnessed four moulds of light 6-pounder guns to be cast in brass for the Ameer of Muscat. On leaving the foundry the Duke de Montpensier pro ceeded to the boring department, and witnessed the manner of boring brass guns. The Duke de Mont pensier appeared much pleased with the precision of two iron planing machines, and the beauty and correctness of the work &Cited his entire approbation. Amongst the objects which attracted particular observation, and clled forth many questions, was a light 6-pounder gun, nit:de of wrought iron, by Messrs. Walker and Co., founders, in Yorkshire, and brought to Woolwich for the purpose of being tested, to ascertain if it would prove efficient for field-service and other purposes where light guns are used. The Duke de Montpensier, on leaving the boring de partment, was conducted by Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas to the private entrance of the laboratory department, where Colonel Cockburn and Lieutenant-Colonel Dan sey were introduced, and accompanied his Royal High • ness over the various branches of this important quarter of the Royal Arsenal. The first place visited was the building set apart for making percussion caps. His Royal Highness then proceeded to the turning depart ment, where a number of men are employed in making fuzees for shells, and then went to the building set apart for making musket balls by compressure, instead of being cast, according to the old plan. At the entrance to the compressing machine room was placed a table, on which eight hammers and locks were fixed, fur the pur pose of testing Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey's tubes fur firing large guns, and his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier, General de Rumigny, and Lieutenant- Colonel Wylde, discharged several tubes, to show the principles on which their ignition took place, which evidently gave great satisfaction, and appeared to be of interest to his Royal Highness. The model room of the laboratory department was visited next, and the Duke de Montpensier appeared very pleased with some beautiful models of field battery guns and sleighs used in conveying heavy ordnance over the snow, when requisite, during Canadian winters. After visiting the other departments of the establish ment, his Royal Highness mounted on horseback, and proceeded to the marshes, where he witnessed practice from four twenty four pounder guns, at 600 yards distant from the target. A number of rockets were fired from the same range, from Lientenant Boxer's tubes, and afterwards at 1,200 yards range, and the practice was very good. The ricochet and other batteries were manned, but, in consequence of the number of vessels passing on the river, the ricochet and battery practice was dispensed with, and his Royal Highness, after waiting some time, witnessed one round fired from General Millar's gun of ten-inch bore, and at a distance from the target of 1,250 yards, one round from one of Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas's sixty-eight pounder, or eight-inch guns, at the same range. The rocket practice was under the command of Lieutenant Wilan. The Duke de Montpensier, wiih the brilliant staff of officers, then mounted their horses, and proceeded to the garrison, paying a short visit on their way to the grand depot, over which his Royal Highness was conducted by Mr. William Young, chief commissary. On:arriving in the garrison, the Duke de Montpensier wa s conducted to the anti-room of the officers' mess-room o Artillery, where his Royal Highness Royal Artillery, ss partook t he to Royal ok of an e elegant dejeuner. The band of under their able lea der, Mr. Mackenzie,h were in at tendance. About two o'clock, the Duke de Montpensier mounted his horse, and was accompanied by the staff of officers to Woolwich Common, where the Royal Horse Artillery had assembled in review order, under the command of Colonel Dyneley, C.B. On arriving opposite the troops, his Royal Highness was received with the usual salute, the brass band playing the National Anthem. The evolutions were gone tht ough with great spirit, although a heavy rain had begun to fall, and the whole was con. cludod ssCtil hilf past throe o'clock, when a royal salute from the guns of the Royal Horse Artillery announr7ed his Royal Highness's departure, on his return to Windsor Castle. PUBLIC DINNER to the OFFICERS of the FRENCH SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 13.—Last evening the grand en tertainment, prepared by the inhabitants of Portsmouth and its vicinity, to the officers of the French squadron, took place in the new extensive assembly-rooms known as the Queen's-rooms, Portsea, when about 250 persons of influence and respectability assembled to do honour to the occasion. During the day the bells of the several churches rung out merry peals at intervals, and the arrival of two French men-of-war, the Inflexible line-of battle ship and the Belle Poule frigate at Spithead earl in the afternoon, eliciting the usual interchange of sa lutes, gave to the port an unusual excitement and vivacity. In the front of the building devoted to the banquet a spacious and beautiful marquee was erected, from which a number of flags and banners, containing appropriate devices, floated during the day. The interim was elegantly festooned, and th e floor carpeted ; chairs and sofas being placed round the sides for the accommo dation of the guests. The dining-room was tastefully fitted up and festooned with flowers, evergreens, and banners, in a similar style to that adopted in the ball-room on the previous eyeing. Two extensive side galleries, running the entire length of the spa cious apartment, were appropriated to the exclusive accommodation of the ladies, who -bean to arrive at five o'clock, and in a few minutes every available place was completely filled. At the extreme end of the room, behind the chairman, was a full-length portrait of her Ma jesty, painted for the Corporation, and removed from the Exchange for the occasion. On the left was the tri colour of France, and on the right the banner of England. The fronts of the galleries were ornamented with the blended colours of the two nations, as also the pillars by which they were supported. The :fine band of the 76th Regiment occupied the vestibule, and the string band was placed in a temporary orchestra erected for the pur pose, opposite the chairman. At the dais or principal table sat the most distinguished of the French and Eng lish guests, care being taen to place English gentlemen who spoke the French language alternately with the foreign officers. Another cross table, not quite so ele vated as the principal one, gave entertainment to office s perhaps no less distinguished than those above, whil t the remaining portion of the company were placed at tl.e longitudinal tables. The candelabra on the dais was a 1 massive gold, and silver candelabra lighted and orna mented the other tables. The dinner was supplied by the übiquitous Gunter, whose name is redolent of all that is recherche in gastronomy, and quite sustained the celebrity he has so justly acquired. At six o'clock the Mayor, Edward Casher, Esq., who acted as chairman, accompanied by Sir Hercules Paken ham and the principal guests, entered the room, the band of the 76th playing the Hanoverian March. Admiral La Susse, having received an invitation from her Majesty to dine at Windsor Castle, was necessarily absent, as was also the English Admiral, Sir Charles Rowley, whose protracted illness has prevented him from taking any part in the festivities during the week. The Gallant Admiral was not present at the ball, as erroneously stated. On the right of the chairman we observed Sir Her cules Pakenham, Captain Hernoux, Colonel Brandreth, Baron de la Ronciere, Colonel Trevor, Captain Gobin, &c. ; and on the left, Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, Cap tain Graeb, Lord Yarborough, Captain Bouet, Colonel Carden, Mr. Weresquill, M. Vandenberg, Mr. Rawlin son (the Recorder), &c. The Rev. Mr. Livesay, do mestic chaplain to the Earl of Errol, said grace. The scene during dinner was truly animating. After dinner IVon notis was sung by Messrs. Leech and the choristers of Winchester Cathedral. The Chairman proposed " The health of the Queen," which was received with the warmest demonstrations of loyalty. " God save the Queen." The CHAIRMAN proposed, after a suitable preface, " The health of his Majesty Louis Philippe the First, King of the French."—(Drank with great applause.) Glee—" Vive le Roi." The next toast was " her Majesty the Queen Dow ager, the Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." (This toast was drank with every demonstration of affection, as was also the next toast.) " God save the Queen." " Her Majesty Amelia, Queen of tho French, and the rest of the Royal Family of France." Band, " La Parisienne." M. VANDEnBERG (the French Consul) rose to return thanks on behalf of her Majesty the Queen of the French. In doing so, he said he could assure the company that her Majesty had felt deeply gratified at the cordial and enthusiastic reception given to her Royal Consort on his landing on the shores of Great Britain, and he wa! , quite certain that, when the proceedings of that evening were communicated to her Majesty, she would be much pleased with the compliment paid to her by so respecta ble a body as that which he then had the honour to ad dress ; in fact, that day would be looked upon in France as one of the greatest in the history of the two coun tries.—(Cheers.) In the name of her Majesty and of the Royal Family of France, he begged to return them his thanks. Admiral Sir HYDE PARKER briefly proposed the next toast, " The Baron Mackau and the French Navy, par ticularly those officers who did them the honour of dining with them that day."—(Great cheering.) Commodore HERNOUX, of the Belle Poule (Aide-de- Camp to Prince Joinville, and a member of the Chamber of Deputies), briefly returned thanks, and proposed. " Lord Haddington and the British Navy."—(This toast was drank with peculiar enthusiasm by the French officers.) Admiral Sir HYDE PARKER said it devolved on him to return thanks for the honour done to the British Navy by his friend, Capt. Hernoux, and the company, in drink ing to its success, and to the health of the Earl of Had dington. He only trusted that the English navy and the French would long remain friends as they were at that moment.—(Tremendous cheering.) Major-General Sir HERCULES PAKENHAM next rose, and gave " Marshal Soult and the French Army."— (Cheers.) He was not presumptuous enough to attempt any eulogy of the French army—the proud records of their achievements were emblazoned in the brightest pages of history, from the ancient to the most modern times, and the reception given in this country to the Duke of Dalmatia, when he carried the congratulations of his Sovereign to her august Majesty the Queen of England, on her coronation, convinced him that they would join heartily and sincerely in drinking to the Gallant Marshal and the chivalrous followers of his arms. " Marshal Soult and the French Army."—(Drank with three times three, and one cheer more.) Captain GRAEB briefly returned thanks, and after pay ing a high compliment to British valour, concluded by proposing "The Duke of Wellington and the British Army."—(Prolonged cheering.) Sir HERCULES PAKENHAM said he rose, on behalf his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, and on behalf of the British army, to return thanks for the honour they had conferred on the service by the toast which they had just drunk with so much cordiality and enthusiasm, and although on these occasions it was generally esteemed a matter of form, yet they were then assembled under particular circumstances.—(Hear.) His Majesty Louis Philippe, the chosen King of the French, was now on a visit to their most Gracious Queen, and, for the first time for a long period, there prevailed between the two armies of both countries the most amicable understand ing, which, for the sake of the world in general, and the promotion of the arts and sciences, he hoped would long continue.—(Cheers.) Let it not be supposed that, if this happy peace remain unbroken, their arms were therefore to remain unemployed, for the cause of civili sation must necessarily demand their interference against the barbarians of the world.—(Hear, hear.) History bore testimony to the fact that the most rapid and most lasting improvements had been made by the armies of civilised nations—witness the first introduction of the elements of social improvement into this country, by the legions of Julius Cmsar.—(Hear, hear.) At that time, instead of the scene which the galleries above him now presented to his view, their maidens and matrons were painted in blue, and rubbed over with yellow ochre. —(Shouts of laughter.) Egypt, too, which had for a long period been run over and trampled on by her relent less taskmasters, had at length her dormant energies awakened by the great Napoleon.—(Hear, hear.) Everybody must acknowledge the extraordinary genius of that mighty warrior. —(Cheers.) And what had their own troops accomplished in India ? There they saw the country overrun by a set of savage hordes—laid waste and devastated, and made wretched and miserable by their barbarous prac tices, until reduced to a state of civilization by the force of British arms ; and at the present moment the arms of France were effecting the same desirable results in the north of Africa.—(Hear, hear.) Improvements of this kind, however, were beset with extreme difficulties, but he had no doubt the Noble Prince who conducted the French armies would lead them to ultimate success. Come what might, he had no doubt that the armies of England and France would preserve the honour and in dependence of their respective Sovereigns, and the in terest and welfare of the nations entrusted to their charge.—(Cheers.) JAMES HOSKINS, Esq. (ex-Mayor) rose to propose the next toast. He said he was compelled to give a toast which he had no doubt would be received with the warmest approval by all who heard him ; but before he proceeded to the subject he would avail himself of the opportunity of congratulating the company on the aus picious occasion which had called them together. It was impossible to regard that assembly without feeling emotions of the most gratifying kind, for whether they considered the individuals of whom it was composed, the occasion on which it was convened, or the circumstances by which it was attended, all conspired to nlakeitli spectacle of surpassing interest.—(Cheers.) It was an and occasion for the exhibition of personal courtesy national cordiality, for they were ei et together to do honour to those brave and distinguished officers of the French nation who honoured them with their presence that evening, and through them to the great andim portant and intelligent nation ationonfawhei, then, of the ch they were citi zens.—(Loud cheers.) nthe m inha bitants of Portsmouth —in the name of the collective population of the empire—in the name of his fellow countrymen, and he would add, his fair countrywomen too—he tendered them a cordial, a sincere, and a hearty welcome to the shores of Great Britain.—(Great cheer ing.) It was most gratifying to the inhabitants of Portsmouth to see around their civic board that day so many of their own noble and distinguished officer s o f both services joining in their festival to their highly honoured Continental n e i g hb ours. It was delightful on that occasion to look around the room, and see the national banners of France and England blended toge ther—to behold the respective uniforms of naval and military officers blended in harmonious unionwith the sober costume of the citizens —emblems of the feeling which should always exist between the officers and citizens of both countries.— (Cheers.) It was impossible for them to recollect the kind and cordial and magnificent re iception given to their beloved Queen Victoria by th . Isling, of the French last year, without at once deter ininitig that his Majesty Louis Philippe, on reaching the .bores of Great Britain, should be received with &mon -orations of respect no less ardent, and a welcome re et ption no less enthusiastic.—(Cheers.) And if British voices sending forth their acclamations to the skies spoke the sentiments of British hearts when his Majesty placed his foot upon their soil, then he and his officers must have been convinced of the sincerity of their cordial reception. 'The inhabitants of Ports mouth must ever feel it as a high honour that they were allowed to present an address to the King of the French from the corporate body, and it was impossible that they could ever forget the dignity and cordiality and kindness with which his Most Gracious Majesty Nes pleased to receive them.—(Cheers.) Tho reply which the august Monarch gave to their address, the arnestness; the kindness, and the energy with which he spoke, convinced all who heard him that he was sincere in what he said. The sentiments of that reply were worthy of a King—they were the oirsprings of a sound understanding—the emanations of a highly cultivated mind, and the enthusiastic outpourings of a warm and a generous heart.—(Cheers.) It was impossible that they hould ever forget the day on which that address and reply were delivered, fur his Majesty told them that his iisit was not a mere matter of state or of royal cere mony—that it was not confined merely to our beloved Monarch, whom he held in the most distinguished esteem, but that it had a more exalted object still—to , mite in cordiality and friendship the two great nations over which these Monarchs reigned —(Cheers.) Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen of England fully participated in the peaceful maxims thus so strongly in culcated by the King of the French, and he was quite sure that they would meet from the inhabitants of France, as in this country, a willing and a generous re sponse.—(Loud cheering.) It was a source of great happiness, and a matter for sincere congratulation, that he respectiv e G overnments o f F rance and England were of a pacific tendency, and were under the guidance of such men as Monsieur Guizot and Sir Robert Peel ; and when he mentioned the names of these distinguished in dividuals, he was sure the company would agree with him that they were men of high eminence and undoubted honour, who were determined and prepared to carry out the patriotic wishes of their respective Sovereigns, and to secure to the inhabitants of both nations a solid, an honest, and an honourable peace.—(Laud comers.) He had therefore great pleasure in proposing " Monsieur juizot and Sir Robert Peel, the respective Prime Minis ters of France and England.—(Drank with applause.) Glee. DANIEL HOWARD, Esq., after a suitalfm preface, pro posed " Vice-Admiral Baron de la Su,:,e, Commander in -Chief, and the officers of the French squadron." Baron de la RONCIERE, A.D.C. to the Admiral, re turned thanks, and proposed " Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth." Song—" The Sea." _ _ _ _ Captain ROWLEY said he thanked the company for the kind and flattering manner in w hi c h hi s father's health had been drank, but, even had they refrained from testi fying their kindness in this manneri:ife had been desired by his father to assure the Corporation and the assembled company how deeply he regretted that the state of his health prevented him from testifying, in person, to the officers of the French navy, how sincerely he partici pated in the joy and satisfaction expressed by the citizens at their sojourn in England. Before he sat down he begged to express his gratification at the honour paid him (Captain Rowley) personally by the visit of his Majesty King Louis Philippe, he ha% ing been the officer selected to steer his Majesty to the shores of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. VANDEnnEnu proposed " The Count de St. Aulaire, Ambassador of France to the Court of Great Britain."—(Cheers.) Captain ROUET returned thanks in the French lan guage, and gave the health of " Sir Hercules Pakenham," whom he described as an officer of great skill and courage, who had treated the officers of the French squadron with distinguished hospitality. This toast was received with marked distinction. Sir HERCULES PAKENHAM, in returning thanks, said he could assure the company that, in the discharge of his duties, he had only endeavoured to follow those in structions given him by her Majesty, and which con sulted alike the interests of the citizens and of the faith ful army devoted to her person and crown. The Gal lant General concluded by proposing, " The health of the President, Edward, Casher, Esq., Mayor of Ports mouth," to whom he paid an eloquent compliment on the order and regularity maintained in the borough. The CHAIRMAN said when he reflected on the scene ' before him, it appeared to him as if he were labouring under some illusion which he could hardly understand. When he accompanied the deputation to address his Majesty the King of the French he expected to be re ceived with great formality, and to find his Majesty surrounded with great state, but instead of that his Ma jesty came running to the door to meet them, and :he could hardly tell at first which was the King.—(A laugh.) He did not appear like a foreign King at all, but like an English gentleman returning to a long-remembered home to revisit his friends.—(Cheers.) Mr. Ili skins, in his speech, had called the French and English neighbours. They were so, and, looking at the map and their rela• tive position upon it, it was impossible that they could ever be anything else. Their happiness, then, depended entirely on themselves, and if they only acted towards each other as they did with m ighbours living in the same street with them, or in their own families, there could be no doubt that the most arnicah'e relations would continue to exist, producing daily reciprocal advantages. —(Hear, hear.) But if, instead of acting in this man ner, they took every opportunity of insulting and an noying each other, the disastrous consequences would be sufficiently apparent.—(Hear, hear.) Let them follow the admirable example set them by their beloved Queen, when she went to visit the King of the French at Eu, ind let their French neighbours be guided in their feel ings by the example of their King, who came amongst his English friends like a father.—(Cheers.) After such kindness, and the exhibition of such feelings on the part of the French Monarch, the people of Portsmouth could nave no hearts if they did not do all in their power to amuse and entertain their guests, and cement the friend ship between them.—(Cheers.) Song—" The fine Old English Gentleman." Dr. CHARLES SCCTT proposed •' The health of the Ladies." Captain Count DE VALMONT, of the Elan, rose and said in French, that he had a most agreeable duty to perform in proposing the next toast. Nothing could equal the attention and hospitality with which the French squadron had been received by the may or and the in habitants of Portsmouth upon the present occasion, and during their visit, and he hoped that the friendly feeling now existing between the two countries would continue for ever undisturbed.—(Cheers.) He concluded by pro posing, "The Vice-president, Stewards, and other Offi cers and Members of the Acting Committee." Dr. E. G. SCOTT returned thanks, Captain DIEUDONNE (of the Caiman), who also ad. dressed the company in French, said he was exceedingly happy to have the honour of proposing the next toast, as it gave him an opportunity of expressing his acknow ledgments for the kindness and hospitality shown to himself and his compatriots since their sojourn in Eng. land, and in his own and their name he tendered them his thanks. He had great pleasure in proposing "The Mayor and the Inhabitants of the borough of Ports mouth, and its vicinity." The Mayon briefly returned thanks. The RECORDER of Portsmouth rose to propose the next toast. He said he was called on at the eleventh hour to address them without any notice or preparation whatever, and perhaps if he consulted his own interest he should have declined to respond to the invitation. The toast which he had to propose embodied the entire object of the meeting, and a part of it embodied, as he believed, one of the chief objects of one of the first men in Europe in visiting this country—he meant his Ma jesty Louis Philippe, the King of the French—which was the continuance of concord and amity between the two greatest nations of Europe.—(Hear, hear.) It was this consideration which induced him to address the company at that advanced stage of the proceedings, and while he did so he might be allowed to say that, although he had not had the honour, like the Gallant Captain (Rowley), of conveying the King of the French to the shores of Great Britain, he had the honour of doing that which was unparalleled in the history of this country— namely, of addressing, in friendly language, a King of France, coming within these territories.—(Cheers.) Never was he more pleased in his life than at the re ception which the Corporation met with from his Ma jesty on that occasion. They were received as thinking men, citizens of a friendly country, by a man who him. self owed his throne to the citizens of the most en lightened nation of the earth.—(Loud cheers.) And here the might be allowed to refer to an important omission in the report of his Majesty's reply, which appeared in the public journals. The press of this country was generally exceedingly correct in their details of all public occurrences, but he confessed that in reference to this memorable event he had seen no report which adequately conveyed the sentiments ex pressed by his Majesty. The animation and to t t h h , e se ac w n h o o n were witnesses of it—but there was one sentence delivered which had not been reporte d, and wh ich was deserving of being treasured andcczen. recorded in the hearts of every French and British in speaking His heart was touched when the King sa id, he i of his zeal of the necess it y of p eace look like France and England, " I upon the be i e n n the w p a o r w m e t r h ful nations . unioncorhdialheh supports of h sewas with the andar continuedcw cheering.)

At one time they heard, perhaps, that something had hap pened at Otaheite or Gibraltar, and war was iinruediat declared t o b e i nev i ta b le ; even " Perfide Albion" sernetimes came out ; and on the other hand were heard, perhaps, expressions equally objectionable ; but these exuberant feelings must be checked, and with whom did it lie to do so ? In hands such as those of the King of the French ; and it was right to check them. He did not argue that because he heard violent language used they must necessarily therefore have a war with France ; for was it to be said because some slight diffe rence occurred between two officers that two such re flecting nations as England and France should set upon each other, thus retarding the progress of civilisation, and destroying the peace and tranquillity of the world ? —(Cheers.) It was impossible, for, he repeated, with the King of the French, that the cordial union of these two nations was the keystone of the arch that supported the peace of the world ; and he was sure they would re dact seriously before they hurried theta into all the mi.
