FLANDERS MAIL. BRUBBEL9, OCT. 10.—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 Rev. 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 gives us the following account :—' It is not at 'St. Thomas, but in Guatemala, the chief city of the Republic, that a college is to be founded. The city of Guatemala has 40,000 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 Walla 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 Walla ; 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 13el gians. The necessary preparations will not allow the missionaries to sail in less than two or three months.'' BRITSSEL6. 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 FUND3.—Bausasme, Oc - r. li.

There will 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 . i ye candidates on or before the 9th of November. The xamination will commence on Monday, tho 12th, at t en 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, t he 26th.

GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.—A general Court martial assembled on Friday, at Chatham Barracks, of which Sir Michael Creagh, K.H., Lieutenant-Colonel of the 11 th, 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 escape 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 Nfay, 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, via, one shirt, one pair of cloth trousers, one pair of boots, oce pair of socks, and one forage cap. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. It appeared the prisoner, on the evening in question, was locked 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 in 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 ono of them in the bar racks at Chatham. Th• 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 OF AN OPIUM EATER.-011 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 vile-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. lie 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 apartment/ 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. lie was acquainted with a young woman named Eliza Brazier, an inmate of \Yap ping workhouse. On Monday afternoon, about half-past ti se 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 had 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 her expenses to London. She was soon after compelled to enter Wap 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 coutents 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 she 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 , 1 occasion at a public dinner, to be given at Clifton.— Bristol Allercury. 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 Mr. 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 aboat an hour and a half after it WAS on fire, but too late to save the building of grain. Ilow it originated is not known, as many persons had passed a few minutes before, and all was apparently sate. It is said that the stock was insured, but not to the full amount.— Worcester IteraM Lord Ashley is making a tour through Lancashire to inquire into the operation of the Factory Act. Last Monday he visited several of the establishments in Bul ton.--Leeaq Merely y. There were as many as twenty-two funerals on Sun day afternoon at St. John's-wood Chapel, ItegeLes 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 tho Leipsic tai: state, that it had o p ene d 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 aeksd. Ordinary nd middling cloths were two and a half dollars per piece advance on the rates of Easter last. There were complaints of a good deal of bad cloth bein g manufac tured, especially buckskins. — L ee d s Mercury, 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 early 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 flaws and banners, containing appropriate devices, floated during the day. The interior was elegantly festooned, and the 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 exclthive accommodation of the ladies, who began 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 " e frne 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 taken 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 officers perhaps no less distinguished than those above, whilst the remaining portion of the company were placed at the longitudinal tables. The candelabra on the dais was all massive geld, 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 ?Von nobia 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 the French, and the rest of the Royal Family of France." Band, " La Parisienne." M. VANDERBERG (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 was quite certain that, when the proceedings f 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 Fanners 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 ---TrvRCULES 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 embleasoned 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 PAXENHAM 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 moat 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 Caesar.—(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 Africs.—(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 make it a spectacle of surpassing interest.—(Cheers.) It was an occasion for the exhibition of personal courtesy and national cordiality, for they were net 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 and im portant and intelligent nation of which they were citi zens.—(Loud cheers.) In the name, then, of the 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.—(G rent 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 officers of both services joining in their festival to their highly honoured Continental neighbours. 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 au impossible for them to recollect the kind and cordial and magnificent re ekeipnt. o si .. ca t. given rteoneth last }carheirhel4v., withoutd (Aileen en Victoria t: )n )r e i e deter mining that his Majesty Louis Philippe, on reaching the ahores of Great Britain, should be received with demon- strations of respect no less ardent, and a welcome re ception 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 I that they could ever forget the dignity and cordiality and kindness with which his Most Gracious Majesty was pleased to receive them.—(Cheers.) The reply which the august Monarch gave to their address, the earnestnees, 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 offsprings 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 should ever forget the day on which that address and reply were delivered, for his Majesty told them that his visit 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 unite 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 the respective Governments of France 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 orhigh eminence and undoubted honour, -rho 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.—(Loud coeers.) He had therefore great pleasure in proposing " Monsieur Guizot and Sir Robert Peel, the respective Prime Minis ters of France and England.—(Drank with applause.) Glee. DANIEL HOWAIII), Esq., after a suitable preface, pro posed " Vice-Admiral Baron de la Susae, 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 which his father's health had been drank,, but, even had they refrained from testi fying their kindness in this manner, he 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 nary, 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) personall by the visit of his Majesty King Louis Philippe, he having been the officer selected to steer his Majesty to the shores of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.) _ _ Mr. VANDERBERG proposed " The Count de St. Aulaire, Ambassador of France to the Court of Great Britain."—(Cheers.) Captain BOUET 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, Cashes, 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. Hoskins, 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 neighbours living in the same street with them, or in their own families, there could be no doubt that the most amicable 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, and 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 have 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 Sccrr proposed " The health of the Ladies." Captain Count DE V.u.stoNT, of the Elan, rose and said in French, that he had a most agreeable duty to perform in proposing this next toast. Nothing could equal the attention and hospitality with which the French squadron had been received by the mayor 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. Scorr 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. Ile had great pleasure in proposing "The Mayor and the Inhabitants of the borough of Ports mouth, and its vicinity." The MAYOR briefly returned thanks. The RECORDER of Portsmouth ruse 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 bad 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 he 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 the action of the man must be necessarily lost except to those who were witnesses of it—but there was one sentence he delivered which had not been reported, and which was deserving of being treasured and recorded in the hearts of every French and British citizen. His heart was touched when the King said, in speaking in the warmth of his seal of the necessity of peace between two power ful nations like France and England, " I look upon the cordial union of these tiro nations as the keystone of the arch which supports the peace of the world."—(Loud and continued cheering.) Was there ever a truer or a finer sentence spoken by man? The language was beau tiful, the metaphor was perfect, and he believed, with the King of the French, that the union of these two nations, the first in civilisation as in attachment to liberty, was necessary for the advancement of science and the welfare of the entire habitable globe. It was true that in all nations where an ardent love of liberty existed there must constantly be numerous warm spirits, and he must acknowledge that on both sides of the water there were some who allowed their feelings to carry them too far. At one time they heard, perhaps, that something had hap pened at Otaheite or Gibraltar, and war was immediatell declared to be inevitable ; even " Perfide Albion semetimes came out ; and on the other hand were heard, perhaps, expressions equally objectionable ; but these exuberant feelings must be checked, and with I 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. lie did not argue that bccause 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 Kink 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 flect seriously before thy hurried them into all the ml seriee and calamities of a protracted and sanguinily war. The words of the toast were—" May the present friendly relations between France and England long continue." Ile would beg lesTe to alter one word, and say, may they continue for ever.—(Loud and long-pro tracted cheering followed the enunciation of this senti ment, the entire company standing, and the ladies in the galleries waving their handkerchiefs, participating in the enthusiasm evinced by the assemblage below.) This having concluded the list of toasts, the Mayor and principal guests retired, and in a few minates the banquet hall was completely deserted. The French officers are to-day entertained by Colonel Trevor and the officers of the 59th Regiment. DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF THE,FRENCH. (From the Times.) In the very, clever and ingenious tale of " Hajji Baba in England," there are few things which excite the sur prise and disgust of that illustrious traveller more than the off hand manner in which the arrangements for the reception of the Persian Ambassador at our Court are conducted. He is oven considerably shocked that no procession should have been formed to greet the en trance of so great a man and his suite into the metro polis, out of suitable respect for one who was delegated to represent so supreme and august a potentate as the Shah ; and at first he will not believe but that all the passers-by in carriages and horreback, whose attention the new corners so forcibly attract, can be any other than a cavalcade appointed to escort them. We apprehend, however, that had that acute and lively Oriental de ferred his peregrinations till these days, he would have been completely aghast, and absolutely at his wit's end, to observe how socially and familiarly the very royal and princly personages of our time run about knocking at the doors of one palace or another, rushing onwards by railroad or steamer, without so much as a dozen dragoons of their own to look after their lives or property ! No accurately measured etiquette—no nicely balanced scale of dignities—no beautifully ad justed equilibrium of localities and approaches—no lengthened train of glittering warriors to frighten the gazers into awe—no tribe of keen gray-headed politi cians to make you think how such cunning folks might circumvent or overreach you. Poor Hajji would have dropped the sylids of ignorance over the eyes of asto nishment, and placed the finger of suspense on the lips of silence. We confess that to us this is one of the most agreeable topics which we have lately had to deal with. It seems like a brightening of the political horizon in the midst of those thick clouds of turbulence and dis affection which have long been gathering around almost every Government in Europe. We rejoice with no small degree of satisfaction in the reflection that Prussia has sent her King, Russia her Emperor, Saxony her King, and France—yes, even France, agitated as she is with a fierce and desolating faction, who would move heaven and earth for a war of extermination with us— France has piloted her King to the shores of Albion, to visit Queen Victoria in the unostentatious character of a friend. To those who, without shunning the alternative, when called for, of a just and necessary war, still love and cherish the blessings of peace, occasions like the present must afford the deepest pleasure ; and we may surely be allowed to hope and to presage that from this source of unceremonious cordiality between crowned heads, the nations over whom they preside will imbibe for each other sentiments (in some de gree at least) of a similar nature. Wo do not pretend indeed to assert, that we shall ever be able to conciliate the furious and unreasonable party to whom we have alluded, or the populace whom they irritate against us; but we cannot forbear looking for some good from the occurrence of such events as that of which we are now writing ; and although we dare not transgress the limits of judgment and experience in framing views which may prove to be too sanguine, still we will be bold to set at defiance the intrigues and misrepresenta tions which would render the visit of Louis Philippe to our Sovereign nugatory for any valuable and peaceful end. In private a man incurs a large share of odium in the circle in which he moves, when he abuses the hos pitalities of an intimate by any flagrant outrage upon the duties, the proprieties, or even the conventional civilities of life. He, in fact, shuts himself out of his circle, by making it necessary to prevent his repeating the offence. The same rule, in its degree, will extend to the case before us ; and we are surely authorised to expect a system of amicable relations with every Court whose ruler comes hither on a trip of pleasure apart from every political motive, and enjoys and responds to the various manifestations of friendly solicitude which, not the Queen alone, but the public bodies of the ports and towns through which he passes hasten to exhibit to the royal foreigner. The impression of such scenes cannot disappear in the path of every-day events: they will, they must, leave a delicious and refreshing memorial which no subsequent position of affairs can ever thoroughly obliterate. Between the individuals on the throne a threefold cord of amity is thus cemented, and deep and bitter regret will overspread that hour (if it ever arrive) when variance or ingratitude shall pre vail to sever the connexion. In leaving these shores, which he has twice visited, as an exile and as a King, Louis Philippe Will carry with him recollections of a tender and grateful character. It is impossible he should forget that, when his country once denied him a home, he found it here—a home where he might cultivate those peaceful talents by which he has more than once saved Europe from the horrors of war. And now that be has come as a King, his presence has been doubly welcome. It has been a tribute of those fruits of which the seed was sown in our own land; and most sincerely do we trust, that while England waves him a kind and cordial adieu as he leaves her shores, those of his own subjects who have been hardy enough to ridicule or de nounce his humane and peaceful policy, will yet learn generosity enough to acknowledge the wisdom by which they have so long profited. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The King of the French re-embarks this day for his own shores. His reception at Windsor was, of course, cordial and magnificent, and, had circumstances per mitted his Majesty to accept more of the national laos pitality,he would have seen equal eagerness in the middle and commercial, as well as in the higher and courtly daises, to cultivate the best understanding with the re presentative of a country eo closely connected with England by political and geographical position, and, if the French would so permit it, by interest. What ever effect such royal visits may have in them selves on the personages who come together, they are at least calculated to make a very great impres sion on the people of both countries and of Europe. When populations, neither very profoundly versed in politics, nor stimulated by the passions which politics excite, see the Sovereigns of two such countries meet year after year in amity, their ministers, and nobles, and leading statesmen intermingling also with oordiality, it is impossible for them not to suppose that there exists a certain mutual understanding, with principles of fairness and feelings of amity on both sides. With respect to the English and their Clueen, there can be no doubt of our amicable feel ings towards France, and of our wish to be friendly and pacific, and more than pacific, if the French would let us. The same may be said of the French King. What Louis P hilippe m os t wante d was the support and friends hip, not merely political but personal, of one of those old and acknowledged Crowns who stand at the head of the princely and aristocratic interests of Europe. The French Court, since 1830, made eftbrts to propitiate the courts of the east of Europe. The princes were sent to Austria to seek alliances and marriage. We know how they were repulsed. In August, 1830, King Louis Philippe (as indeed his own journal, the Prase, of last Tuesday, re minds him) addressed a letter to the Emperor Nicholas, which said, " France loves to see in Russia its most na tural and most powerful ally." The expression meant, that the King of the French, just elected, was quite ready to continue the policy of the elder Bourbons, and, if received into the ranks of the Holly Alliance, to be as true to its principles as Charles the Tenth, setting r e co p m ig i n d e e , teia but W e t England and her liberal ideas at defian ce . Th e o ff er was % rejected by the Czar with contumely and the Court of the Tuileries was obliged to fall ba c k on t h e all i ance o f England, renu in order to a due appreciation of the p resent sta t e o f affairs. There can be no Tory, no Radi ca l, no po li t i c i an , recur to talolgetnot Prince in Talley angr rand or to o in this,P in or print, so desirous to be on the most amicable rela tions with France as we. But we cannot admit ourselves satisfied with such a state of relations as that which we have described. It is most unfair to England, letting down by degrees her national pride, and sacrificing her interests one after another—in Spain one day, in Africa another, and in the Pacific the next ; and after all, for a temporary truce with a set of madmen, who are not conciliated in the least by our abjur a ti on o f spirit or of rights. Louis Philippe is, however, a most able and pacific Prince. One cannot but admire how he has bestridden the fiery war-horse of his nation, reining it and managing it, so as to spend its fury in curvets, without allowing it to make a charge, except upon a :ew savages in out of the way corners of the world. .its Majesty would, no doubt, prolong his reign of peace, and, were he immortal, we might calm all apprehensions if war. But even he must one day disappear from the scene, and then what have we to look to ? The mainte oance of peace, we are told, is greatly due to his per sonal abilities, to his unrivalled wisdom. This may be round of admiratio n , b at i t i s a l s o a source of fear. For the pacific system may disappear with the store of royal wisdom and sagacity. When we look to the French Chamber, which must acquire almost uncontrolled power an the demise of the present Monarch, we see parties and statesmen indeed, but not one party or statesman who could pretend to rule without royal support. Neither Count Mole, nor M. Thiers, nor M. Barrut, nor M. Dufour°, nor, still less, M. Guizot, could command a majority, if the royal hand, so skilled in forming and managing majorities, were withdrawn. (From the Morning Herald.) The reception of the King of the French by the people of England, of all ranks and of all parties, has amply vindicated the national character from the imputations heaped upon it by the viler portion of the French press. rhe homage due to the honoured guest of our gracious Queen has been paid not merely with cheerfulness, but with an alacrity, and even enthusiasm, which must have proved to him how readily his twofold claim on the re spect and courtesy of the British people has been recog nised. From the first moment of his arrival no oppor tunity has bees neglected by them of testifying the esti mation in which he is held in this country ; and the frank and noble spirit in which he has responded to such courtesies has confirmed the general impression in regard to him. In his answers to the complimentary addresses which have been presented to him, but one feeling predominates, that of su anxious desire on his part to improve the amicable relations between France and England—to employ his Majesty's own energetic language—" to maintain and strengthen the friendship subsisting between the two countrie', and which most warmly subsists between the two Sovereigns —to promote sincere union between Eng land and France," and " to preserve the blessing of tit ace, so essential to the prosperity of both nations." , Su ^h ntimt nts eannc t fail of being appr e ciat ed by I eery enlightened mind throughout the country, and to ncrease the admiration, not unmixed with personal es teem, with which the efforts of his Majesty to cultivate an extents cordials have been regarded. Nothing could have tended more effectually to cement the good understanding which has at length been created between the two nations than such a decla ration ; and but for his Majesty's intimation of his wish that his visit might he considered as a private one, such demonstrations would have been almost universal. That such a course was wise on hie part is proved by the jealousy with which his Majesty's presence in England is regarded by the Opposition press of France, whose conductors cannot conceal their mortification at the prospect to which his reception in this country, and the sentiments, to which it has given occasion, m us t, o f necessity, have conducted them. The Republican looks for war, as affording the sole chance of ascendancy that remains to his party. The Legitimatist, equally mis guided by a vicious and virulent press, regards the culti vation of amicable relations with England as equally fatal to his hopes. The visit of Queen Victoria to Eu was hardly more acceptable to them than that of their own Monarch to Windsor. Their efforts, therefore, are neither unnatural nor unexpected ; and if they have proved ineffectual it has been became the great mass of the people of France are no more influenced by their malice than the reflecting portion of the British public are by the gibes and misrepresentations of which our own Foreign Minister is the object, for his imputed sacri fices of the honour of England to the interests aid demands of France Unsuccessful in their frantic endeavours to exaggerate any centre temps that seemed likely to disturb a peace of some thirty years' duration, they attempt to account for the re ception of the King in a manner calculated to wound the amour propre of their countrymen. They attribute our earnestly-expressed desire to cultivate an amicable understanding, to a haughty sense of our own superiority ; and add that we should not have received Marshal boult as favourably as we acid had he not been unsu xessful in his operations against us. Now every Englishman knows full well that it was the gallantry which he displayed on all occasions in which he came into collision with the British forces that inspired the cordiality of esteem with which he was received when he visited us a few years ago. The heroism displayed by_ the French troops in the Peninsular war and at Waterloo, to which the warmest testimony has been borne by nearly all our military writers, has inspired a similar feeling in regard to the French army generally. We have found the French worthy foes, but may ask with the poet,— " What better than a noble foe, Unless a noble friend ? " We assume no superiority over them, still less should we base the hospitalities due to the illustrious strangers who are now among us, on so arrogant a feeling, even had we been conscious of its existence. Were the people of England, however, liable to such a charge, it must surely be considered inconsistent with the anxiety they have displayed to remain at peace with the nation of whose inferiority they are declared to be so satisfied. The imputation is almost too absurd for grave refutation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 14. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE.) IN TEE CASE 0? JAMES TAYLOR. In this case Mr. Buchanan made an application on behalf of certain creditors, to rescind the insolvent's final order, on the ground that a bill of sale for certain properties was only a colourable, and not a bona fide sale. _ _ Evidence was then gone into, but the Hon. Commis sioner decided that such evidence was insufficient to more the Court to rescind the protection to the insolvent, and deferred final judgment until more important evi dence should be adduced. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Jerry Regan, was charged with having assaulted a labourer, named Charles M'Carthy. City policeman No. 512 stated, that at about nine o'clock on Sunday night, he was called upon to quell a disturbance in Harrow-alley, Aldgate, and upon going to the place ho saw M'Carthy lying on the pavement, and the prisoner whacking him on the ribs with a poker. He observed that the man who was prostrate was at the time bleeding profusely from the head, but he did not see the poker used upon that part. As - the witness had three other persons in cus tody, he could not apprehend the prisoner, who, upon seeing him, ran into a house and concealed himself. Charles M'Carthy stated that as he was passing through Harrow-alley, he was suddenly knocked down with a pewter pot by the father of the prisoner, who then attacked him with a poker, and beat him with it on the left side. He staggered from the effects of the blow, but managed to hobble to the station house. Alderman T. WOOD asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant— Please your Worship, I'll never do it again. Andrew Regan, the father of the defendant, was also charged with having committed an assault about the same time, in the same place. David Bryant stated that as he was talking to a woman in Harrow-alley, Andrew Regan rushed upon him, bit him in the ear most severely, and struck him with a pewter pot, which cut open his head. M'Carthy, who gave evidence against Regan the son, stated that Regan the father struck him a despe rate blow with a pint pot, and cut his head open. Andrew Regan—Why, it's clear they're telling lies, your Worship, for one of them says I used a pint pot, and the other Says I used a quart pot. Now I never saw either pint or pot the whole of that day, and how could I strike them? The defendants were severally fined in the sum of forty shillings each, having escaped committal to take their trial at the quarter sessions upon the under standing that they would recompense the injured man. BOW-STREET. A young Woman named Mary Dawson, was placed before Mr. Hill, charged with refusing to " move on" in Great Russell-street when told by the officer. Policeman F 113, stated that there was a fire in Great Russell-street last night, and the prisoner was standing opposite to it. He told her to move on, as the place must be cleared. She refused to do so and abused him, and he took her into custody. Mr. HALL—Did she do nothing else ? Officer—No, your worship. Mr. HALL--What! you bring a person here for merely standing iu the street ! I never heard of such a thing. She is discharged. The young woman was then discharged, and the officer walked away quite chapfallen. It is to be hoped that the Magistrate will make some remarks upon the case on the police-sheet, which will be seen by the Com missioners. CLERKEN WELL. Two men, n amed Magrath and Gannon , were charged with ' cutting and wounding police-constable George Higgins, 168 N, whereby his life is endan gered. Also with violently assaulting police-con stable Gooderam, of the same division. Inspector Thatcher, of the N division, stated that Higgins, from the nature of the injuries, was utterly unable to attend; his collar-bone . was broken in two places, and there were several wounds on his head, one of which was dreadfully severe. He was at pre sent lying at the University Hospital. The in s p ec t or handed in a surgeon's certificate, specifying the con dition of Higgins. Police-constable Gooderam, who seemed to be la bouring under considerable pain, deposed that, between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning, he was on duty in the Lower-road, Islington, when he saw a mob of labourers assembled in High-street, who were very riotous ; soon after he saw police-constable Higgins go over and attempt to persuade them to go away. Witness, seeing that Higgins's endeavours were ineffectual, went over to them too. When Magrath saw witness, he said, "If you come down the court I will open your head for you." The parties left in few minutes after, and went down a court hard by. Higgins soon after heard the noise of persons fighting in the court, and went down. Witness hearing the sounds, followed, but had scarcely entered it when he saw Higgins knocked down by a blow from a brick, which struck him on the chest. Witness attempted to reach him, but received himself another blow from a brick on the chest which felled him, and almost disabled him, causing great pain. When he had recovered a little from the effects of the blow, he saw Higgins lying on the ground, and the prisoners and others about him. They had bricks in their hands, with which they were " pounding" the constable on the head and neck and breast ; and when a reinforcement of police arrived Magrath ran into a hoir-e in the court and hid himself in the bed, where a man and his wife were lying, and was arrested there. Wit ness was quite unfit for duty in consequence of the injuries he had received. - Mr. GREENWOOD asked the prisoners what they 1 , had to say to the charge, which he told them was a very serious one. • The prisoners, .who treated the matter with the greatest indifference, were remanded for a week. John Connor and Ellen Foley were charged with riotous conduct and assaulting three police•cunslables. On Sunday morning, at two o'clock, the prisoner:, who are only seventeen years of age, were shouting on Saffron-hill and disturbing, the whole n'ighb-'urho.4. Police-constable 40 G attempted to prevail on Thum 0) go away, but they retired to sime distance where tl:ere was a heap of mud, and discharged a vol.ey of mud and missiles at the police, and with such effect, that the e.,n stables were as filthy as kennel rats. Thi-y punu d the prisoners and secured the girl, who made a most vi. h nt resistance, and the male prisoner was soon after cap tured, but not without a desperate struggle. Waddington, the gaoler, said that Connor, although so young, had been twelve times convicted in that court, and once convicted of a felony. The girl had been like wise convicted. The mothers of the prisoners endeavoured to pro ve that the prisoners were a youthful and romantic pair o f sweethearts. The MAGISTRATE, however, took a different view o f the matter, and sent them to prison , Connor for ten da y s, and Foley for seven days, without the power of releasing themselves by the payment of fine. UNION-HALL. Thomas Crouch, an elderly man, was c h arge d w i th having in his possession a bagatelle-bo(xd and ivor S balls, suspected to have been stolen. It appeared that of laW a number of publicans on the south side of the water have . been robbed of bag:ttelle boards, Information having been ii,iven of the ofv,:tun stance, the prisoner was stopped on Saturday in the it'b t of offering in pledge a bagatelle-board, which it was evident had been very little used. When questioned on the subject, the prisoner refused to give his address, or any particulars by which it could be found where he came from. The MAGISTRATE said, if publicity were given to the case, probably the owner of the bagatelle-board would come forward, particularly as it was stated that a great number of publicans were rcbbed of articles of a similar description. Tht; prisoner was remanded until to-morrow (this day). SIDCUP PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday Mr. George Warrener, the proprietor of the Pier Hotel, Erith, attended before Messrs. Chap man and Borens, the presiding magistrates, to answer an information laid against him by the metropolitan police, by which he was charged with opening his house before one o'clock on Sunday, the 29th Sep tember, and for which offence he had incurred a penalty of 5-/. The - defendant, on being called upon to plead to the information, said he must admit that the house was open, and that persons were taking refreshment, but he was anxious to explain the circumstances under which the alleged offence took place. The BENCH said it would be better to hear the evidence of the police before any explanation was given, and he would then be at liberty to make any statement he might think material. A police-constable of the R division was then sworn, and he proved that on Sunday morning, the 29th of September, about eleven o'clock, he went into the defendant's house, and saw several persons taking refreshment in the bar. Mr. Warrener, in answer to the complaint, said that the house in . question was near the steam-boat pier at Erith, and it was established principally for the ac commodation of the steam-boat passengers. A great number of persons came down by the boats, arid par ticularly on Sundays, and it frequently happened that the boats were not very punctual, and parries had to wait sometimes two or three hours for a boat, arid his house was the only place at which they could he accommodated. On the day in question some persons had missed the first boat to London, and having to wait two hours befbre there would be another, they came to his house to have breakfast, and they were the parties seen by the policeman. The constable, in answer to questions from the Bench, said that some of the persons he saw in the house were inhabitants of Erith. Mr. Warrener said that when travellers from the steam-boats were admitted, it happened sometimes that other persons forced their way in. The MAGISTRATES said that the defendant had no right to open his house before one o'clock, but under the circumstances they should only inflict a mitigated penalty of 10s. and costs.

The returns for the past week show fair average arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, and Irish Oats ; but those of all other kinds of grain were on a limited scale, though of fair average quality. Fresh up, we received only a moderate supply of Wheat of home produce, coast wise as well as by land carriage and sample, yet the stands were tolerably well filled with parcels of both red and white. The attendance of buyers was rather numerous, while the demand for the finest descriptions was steady, at fully last Monday's quotations. All other kinds, however, hung heavily on hand, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. At the conclusion of business, a good clearance was effected by the factors. The condition of the Wheat, owing to the prevailing heavy showers, was by no means so good as we have bad occasion to notice in some previous reports. Of Foreign Wheat the show was not large; yet it was fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. The finest parcels were in demand at full prices; but all other kinds met a sluggish sale, at barely late rates. Bonded Grain was a mere drug, and almost nominal in value. Al though the supply of Barley, both English and Foreign, but more particularly that of the latter, was good, se lected qualities were in active request, at a trifle more money. All other kinds moved off steadily, at full quota tions. Superfine Ware Malt was in request; but all other qualities were dull. In prices we have no varia tion to notice. The Oat trade was very steady, notwith standing a good quantity of Irish was in the market, and prices were firmly supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear. Linseed and Rape seed sold steadily; other kinds of seeds slowly, at late rates.
