The toast was drunk with all the honours. Major-General Sir THOMAS itenuTnNoT, in res ponding, said he could not sufficiently thank the as sembly for the honour which they had done to a pro fession to which he was proud to belong. He attri buted the honour done to the two services alluded to in the toast, to the conviction on the part of the gen tlemen present that those services were, as they had always beep, ready to support the institutions of our country, or to support our country in any way what ever they might be called upon to do so.—(Hear.) J. MACVICAR, Esq., then proposed " The Indian Army and Navy, especially that portion of it serving in China." Seeing a distinguished member of that army sitting at the right of the chair, he had great pleasure in referring to the toast. In China, that army distinguished themselves nobly and greatly. One instance occurred to him, that of Captain Simpson, who, with a few musketeers, was cut off from the main body of the army who were besieging Canton. During the heavy rain, their firelocks were unserviceable ; notwithstanding which, this distinguished officer, with a few native soldiers alone, mastered all the forces which China could bring against them. The name of Captain Boss, as connected with the most valuable surveys of the Straits of Malacca and the Indian Seas, would require no remark. No one more highly ap preciated the services of Sir Henry Pottinger than himself, and he begged to propose the toast.—(Drunk with three times three, and " one cheer more.") The MAYOR then said—The toast I have now to propose to you, gentlemen, is the health of our distin guished guest, Sir Henry Pottinger—(Loud cheers ; the whole company rising) —and I shall need, in offering the few remarks I am about to submit to you, all your consideration and kindness—(Hear)—for I have felt, I assure you, very considerable embarrass ment upon the present occasion. I know how the gen tlemen here assembled, and who have invited Sir Henry Pottinger, have felt towards me; I know how highly they have appreciated his services ; and I have felt that no common language and no common terms can express their feelings towards him—(Hear, hear) but in the short time that I have had the honour of a personal acquaintance with Sir Henry Pottinger, I have felt that it was due to him upon this occasion to use no observations or any terms that might be distasteful to himself. (Hear, hear.) I f e lt satisfied that y ou , i n common with me, wish that nothing may be said that he cannot, at any future period of his visit to Manchester, recur to with any other feelings than those of satisfaction and pleasure. And although our distinguished guest has so long resided in the East, and has been accus tomed therefore to the inflated language of that coun try, I yet have believed, from the short period I have seen him, it would be unbecoming in me to speak of his services in anything like the hyperbolical lan guage of the East, and that I ought to address him, upon this occasion, in language that would be more consonant with his pure and severe taste, if I were to use such expressions as are more suited to our clime and country.—(Hear. hear.) It is not, there fore, my intention, in speaking of Sir Henry Pottin ger, or of the treaty which he has so successfully concluded, to repeat over again that which has been so much better said at the two assemblies of this de scription at which he has so recently been present ; but it is my business, and my especial pleasure, to advert rather to the peculiar causes of satisfaction and content with which we, in this manufacturing district, have viewed that successful treaty, and that result of his able efforts.—(Loud cheers.) I shall not, therefore, take up your time with recounting the great advantages which will result to the empire at large, and to the whole civilized world, from that treaty, norshall I occupyyour time at all with entering into the question of the soundness of thegreat principles which it embodies ; nor shall I at all occupy your time by entering into any lengthened detail of the various duties, or of the scale of those duties, which have been, by his successful efforts and his successful arguments with the Chinese Commissioners, reduced to so low a rate.—(Cheers.) But I shall proceed at once to state the particular circumstances and feelings which induce us to thank him for the great benefits he has con ferred upon this manufacturing district, and which, I believe, we shall experience for a long period'of years yet to come.—(Cheers.) I may remind you, gentle men, that the empire of China, which has been so extensively opened to you by the successful nego tiations of Sir Henry Pottinger—includes in every part—is equal to, I believe—eight hundred and forty millions of British statute acres, and comprises within that space a population which is now computed to amount to upwards of three hundred and forty millions of souls ; and it will then be easy for you, gentlemen, all of whom are accustomed to minute calculations, at once to determine what the degree of advantage will be to this manufacturing district by having a market of this extraordinary extent opened out to us.—(Loud cheers.) You will recolleet, gentlemen, that the population of Great Britain amounts to twenty-seven millions of people; and if we consider, for a single moment that twenty-seven millions of people have now the opportunity of free and equal trade with a population exceeding three hundred and fifty millions of people, the - advantages must be almost wholly on our side.—(Loud cheers.) I heard an exclamation which proceeded from one of our country manufacturers upon the subject, which, I dare say, will convey some idea to the minds of gen tlemen present of the advantages which we are likely to derive from the extension of our intercourse with China. " Why," said the worthy manufacturer, "all the mills we now have will hardly make yarn to find them with night-caps and socks."—(Laughter.) Without, gentlemen, entertaining any very extrava gant notions upon the subject myself, or at all wish ing to excite any spirit of speculation from any re marks I may make upon the present occasion, I have been furnished, by the kindness of my friend Mr. Macvicar, with a statement of the e x p or t s t o Chi na, during the years 1843 and 1844.—(Hear, hear.) The account is made up, Gentlemen, from the 30th No vember, which, I presume, was the period when the intelligence reached England, of the successful ter mination of Sir H. Pottinger's labours ' • therefore, the account commences with the 30th November, 1843, and is carried up to November, 1844. From that account I perceive, in 1843, that of plain cot ton piece goods there were shipped to China, from the ports of London, Liverpool, and Clyde 1,114,381 pieces ; and in the corresponding period —namely, for the year ending 30th November, 1844, the number of the same piece s o f co tt on shipped to China amounted to 2,250,795 pieces; making an advance, in that short space of time, of 1,102,414 pieces.—(Cheers.) It will not be necessary for me to occupy your time in stat ing the various descriptions of pieces of cotton goods which are mentioned in this return ; but, in order to enable you to judge of the increase of our exports, in that short period, to this extraordinary country, I may simply state to you that the value of all the fore going articles enumerated in this statement, amounted in 1843 to 1,468,1151. sterling, and that of the same descriptions in the year ending 30th November, 1844, amounted to 2,064,093/. ; showing an increase in the exports of this country to China, in a single year, of 595,9781.—(Great cheering.) The same gentleman has kindly furnished me with a schedule tariff of the duties upon the foreign trade with China, which came into operation on the 27th July, 1843, and also of the rates of duty previously levied. I find upon reference to this important document which it may be satisfactory to many of the gentlemen here pre sent to be informed is prepared for Mr. Court, of the Underwriters' Rooms in Liverpool: and the rates of duties are exhibited in two columns, first the previous duty, and secondly the present duty. The previous duty, as exhibited in this return, is not re duced either to sterling money or to dollars and cents, although that process of reduction is shown as applied to the present duty ; and I am sure you, gen tlemen, do not expect, from my previous habits of life, that I can at all pretend to reduce the Chinese taels, mace, candarines, and cash, into any thing you can understand upon the present occasion. I have just been reminded, through the kindness of my friend Mr. Macvicar, that the difference is simply this, that the previous duty has been reduced, by the su ccess f u l negotiation of Henry Vettinger, to one-fourth of their previous amount.—(Hear.) These are the grounds, and these are the prospects, gentlemen, which have been opened out to this manufacturing district by the successful efforts and the great talents of Sir Henry Pottinger.—(Cheers.) And lam quite per suaded that, for many years to come, our manufac turers will find, by the state of their balance-sheet at the end of every Cheistpiso, they will have to return thanks for the exertions of Sir Henry Pottinger.— (Cheers.) I know no other instance besides the pre sent, where a treaty of this magnitude has been con cluded? whiph has had not merely the 4PN'ohatiou of his own countrymen, of every class and grade who have given any attention to the subject, but of all the nations in the world.—(Cheers.) He has softened down all those rival and hostile feeliturs upon this oceasiop which we should all have expecta to lave seen perfectly rife, if he had not infrodUced that memorable treaty which I hope will hereafter become m own to own all . • time as " the Pottinger treaty"—which opened to all the advantages of the trade with China all those empires and states which had had no previous com munication with China.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now only to ask you for one favour. You all know that that same " hurrah" which is the signal of assault in battle, is the national note of welcome and congratulation to those of our countrymen whom we delight to honour; and if there are any deficiencies upon my part in expressing the feelings of any gen tleman in this room, I hope he will, by his own loud cheer, take care to supply my deficiencies.—(Loud cheers.) I give you, 'gentlemen, the health of Sir Henry Pottinger, with every honour that can attend it.—(Loud cheers.) The Right Hon. Sir HENRY POTTINGER, in rising to reply, was received with the most enthusiastic ap plause. Gentlemen, said he, in addition to the imper fections under which I generally labour in addressing any persons in a public assembly, I have to crave your especial consideration for an extremely bad cold, under which I am labouring. Even if I had all the powers of eloquence that any person could be distin guished by, I assure you I feel utterly unable to tell you how deeply and how sincerely I thank you for your kindness towards me. I know not, indeed, how to say all that I ought to do, in answer to the manner in which my health has been proposed and drunk by you. When I was first appointed to China, the ap pointment was, I am proud to say, totally unsolicited. —(Loud cheers.) I had been in India from the time that I was a boy thirteen years of age. I came home to England; and I had very little intercourse with any of the leading men in both or either parties ; in fact, I hardly knew any of them personally when I received an intimation from her Majesty's Ministers, at the time, to the purpose that I should go out to China. Although my health was not quite established, I was ready and forward to do any service to my country ; and I embarked for China with the full intention of doing all that I could, in a full and anxious exertion, to carry out the instruc tions that I had received.—(Cheers.) Upon my ar rival in China, I need hardly tell you, things wer e i n a very unpleasa n t an d aw k ward state; but, through the valour of her Majesty's arms, and the distinguished services of her Majesty's navy, they soon came to have a better appearance. And as soon as that sort of persuasion induced the Chinese Government to listen to our terms, they were then ready to meet them more than half way, and to show that modera tion—which I am sure was best worthy of England, of which I am quite certain every person in this room would highly apporve. With that feeling, gentlemen, I undertook and I commenced that negotiation ; and I had the happiness to meet, as already I have in another public situation stated, in consultation, my esteemed friend, the High Commissioner Ke-ying. The treaty was made as you have seen it, though afterwards there remained what were to me difficulties, and most im portant matters to be settled, in the commercial ne gotiations. There, however, I' met with assistance which I could hardly have promised myself. Some of the gentlemen attached to the former mission were quite competent to give me every information, and they undoubtedly did so. One of them, alas ! now no more, was peculiarly a person likely to be of use upon the occasion : I speak of Mr. Morrison.—(Hear, hear.) Th e o th er i s a gentleman, with whom, I dare say, some of you are acquainted—if not from the first —Mr. Thom, a gentleman from Glasgow.—(Hear.) To these two gentlemen, I am glad to have this pub lic opportunity of saying, I was greatly indebted for all the information upon which the tariff and the commercial part of the negotiations were regulated. —(Hear, hear.) For you will all readily under stand, that my habits and pursuits were not of that nature perfectly to give me a sufficient in sight into this question myself. I, however, did not shrink from the responsibility; and, I need not say, that it rejoices and delights me to feel that I have not only your approbation ; but I rejoice to see, that I have the approbation, as it were of all England,—" I say " all England," for when I see her Majesty's present and late Minis ters each combining to say that they approve of what I have done ' • when I see the City o f L on d on, t h e great town of Liverpool, and the still greater town of Manchester, what am Ito believe ? I cannot believe that any of you have thought it necessary to meet, and come forward, and to speak wholly without cause, for an humble individual like myself. I am not,however, the less thankful and grateful for your kindness. Be lieve me that your good opinion and your approbation (and when I say yours I mean that of all my fellow countrymen) is the most cheering—the most heart cheering—reward that I can possibly have.—(Cheers.) To feel that lam at this moment encircled by a people —not only by a class of my fellow-subjects, not only in this room, but in this country, who deem that I have done them a service, is a reward beyond all expression on my side. I believe, as I have already, in another place, said, that the treaty combines all the advantages that a treaty with China ought to do. I have studied, I did study in making it, to prevent any feeling of jealousy upon the part of the Chinese; they met me more than half way, and I thought it was my duty, and I felt that it accorded with the greatness and the feelings of England, not to make it exclusive. I was, therefore, happy to take the step to which his Worship, the Mayor, has alluded, and to recommend to the Chinese Government, with a full experience, to throw open the treaty with all the nations in the world.— (Cheers.) My own opinion of the treaty was, that it would take some time, at all events, to mature it self; and there are one or two questions as to what returns China will make to us, that are to us of the most important nature. But if that difficulty can be got over, I trust as England can only benefit herself by benefiting China—and it will be in a great mea sure—(Cheers)—l believe I may say that the ad vantages of the treaty to England, and to all other manufacturing countries, will be almost unlimited.-- (Cheers.) I calculate, from my own personal obser vation, that the immediate effect of the treaty will be, to bring us into direct contact with not less than 120 to 150 millions of people.—(Hear.) I speak of the seaboard ; and, my own firm belief is, that if we do not go too fast for the Chinese—if we allow them to see we have no object beyond kindness and commer cial intercourse—that we have no exclusive feelings— do not look to anything beyond a mere mercantile set tlement in their country, I do believe, that in the lapse of a very few years they will be as ready, or perhaps more so, to trade with us, as we are with any other country.—(Cheers.) I, upon another oc casion since I came to England, have spoken of the advantages which, in my opinion, appertain particu larly to Hong-Kong as a seat of commerce. I think still, and the more I reflect upon it—for I cannot say Hong-Kong was selected by me—but I again repeat, that if the two places were at my disposal to-morrow, I should prefer Hong-Kong. I am quite sure to have retained Chusan would not only be a heavy ex pense to Great Britain, but would bring us into con stant unpleasant discussion with the Chinese; for it is needless to deny, that, though they are quite obe dient to their own mandarins yet with stra ngers th ey are extremely troublesome. I beg to repeat that lam most truly, and deeply, and affectionately sensible of your kindness, and before I sit down, I beg to return you, individually and collectively, my best thanks, and wishing you all happiness and prosperity in your several stations.—(lmmense cheering, and one cheer more.)

He regretted that none of the Ministers were present; but their sentiments were well known, both by the speech of Lord Aberdeen in London, and Lord Stanley in Liverpool, from which we might infer that that course of negotiation carried out by Sir Henry Pottinger in China, would be sup ported by the Ministry in this country. He did not wish to give to an y o f these proceedings a party cha racter; and he would only say, he believed they , wished to promote the commerce of this country and the whole world, and there ho would leave the subject. lie congratulated the distinguished guest of the even ing, as a cotton manufacturer, not only for the ser vices rendered to us e but also to our workpeople in this district.

He most cordially and sin. cerely drank health and happiness to the Corpora tion.—(Applause.) The MAroit returned thanks. After some other toasts, JOHN M'GREGOR, Esq., of the Board of Trade, gave, " The Town and Trade of Manchester, and the industry of the district ;" in doing which be spoke at some length, but was almost inaudible to the re porters. He was understood to say that the toast of itself constituted a text, involving the gravest, as well as the most interesting, considerations for the study of the statesman, of the legislator, and of all who knew and cared for the well-being and the happiness of their fellow-men. All experience and all knowledge proved the fact, that the growth and prosperity of great cities had been accompanied by the prosperity of the sur rounding country, and the well-being of the inha bitants.—(Applause.) It would he idle and pre sumptuous in him to dilate on the fact, that the growth and progress of the several district s o f Lancashire a n d Ch es hi re, particularly in the value of property, and in the consequent better employ. merit and well-being of the people, which accompanied the rise and progress of this great town, and o f th e great industrious di s t r i c t o f which it was the focus. If they would bear with him, he would offer a few observations on the condition of one or two countries, in which great industrious cities had flourished, but which had ceased to flourish. He then referred to the cities of Venice and Augsburg. A Venetian Duke, whom he had the honour of knowing in 1838, inherited, from a long line of ancestors some of the finest lands on the banks of the Brenta, represen ted to him that the rents of those lands, during the prosperous trading days of the republic, enabled his ancestors to build the splendid palaces on the banks of the grand canal of Venice, and the large one near the Brenta, a few rooms of which only the noble owner had been able to keep habitable, in conse quence of the fall of Venice and the greatly de clined value of the lands which once supplied that city. On the banks of the Danube was once an imperial city and also a greet entrepot fcr trade, and a seat of manufactures, the city of Augs burg. At that period, so iereatly did the prosperity of Augsburg cause the increased value of property in Suabia, that the landlords built some of the most mag nificent palaces of the age in the imperial city. Po litical and other causes drove the trade and manufac tures from the city; and, on the departure of industry and trade, the population decreased more rapidly than in any other city of the empire.--(Bear, hear.) At present, unless it were by Prince Wallenstein, none of the great palaces were inhabited there by the de scendants of their ancient possessors. They had, from their accommodation, been converted by the Sovereigns of Bavaria into barracks and hospitals— one of them into, as he was informed, a madhouse, and one or two into posthouse inns. Ile did not allude to the historical fate of those cities as invidi ously prophetic of the fate of Manchester ; for the intelligence of the inhabitants of the latter and of its industrious district would provide long, and he hoped always, against the calamity of decline; but he urged it with the view so happily exhibited this evening on doing honour to their highly distinguished guest, that deserving officer and public servant—that was the view of establishing goodwill, confidence, and harmony, for their mutual welfare and happiness, between the manufacturing and the rural districts of Lancashire and Cheshire.—(Cheers.) He said that the people of a great manufacturing town could not be otherwise than an intelligent people; the skill, the ingenuity, the knowledge necessary to invent and make their machinery, and to produce their manufac tures, and to know home and foreign markets, ren dered intelligence absolutely necessary to them. The institutions of Manchester proved that they were so. They wet e well known to be generous and charitable. He had had some experience in negotiating treaties, and he eulogised the treaty negotiated by Sir Henry Pottinger, and ex t o ll e d t h e advantages of extending our commercial relations with all other countries ; and sat down, after proposing " The Town and Trade of Manchester, and the industry of the District." The toast having been drunk with all the honours, it was acknowledged by JOHN POTTER, Esq., who said, that, though he could have wished that the response had devolved on some one more able than himself, still he could not hut feel he should be deficient in duty to the town; if he did not express his acknowledgments. When he knew that the toast was proposed by one who had rendered more services to the commercial statistics of this country than any man now living, he trusted in dulgence would be shown to him, and he hoped they would not forget the importance of the conununity in which they lived. When he knew that nothing wa s wanted but employment for the industry of the dis trict, he felt that the illustrious guest of the evening had conferred great honour upon them, and, through them, upon the manufacturing industry of the coun try. Ile trusted that the same liberality which had characterised Sir Henry Pottinger e treaty with the Chinese would characterise all our treaties with foreign countries.—(Applause.) JAMES ASPINALL TURNER, Esq., next proposed " The Members of Parliament for the county and borough." WILSON PATTEN, Esq., M.P., acknowledged the toast, and said that for many years he had been SO unconnected politically with this part of the country, that he felt the honour the more. He had recently expressed his sentiments towards their distinguished guest ; and he should not have attended if he did not believe it would be gratifying to his manufacturing constituents to unite in paying this compliment to him. The gratitude of the county of Lancaster was not limited to the great boroughs of Liverpool and Manchester, but was felt in every valley of the county, WILLIAM ENTWISLE, Esq., M.P., said it had but seldom fallen to his lot to meet so large an assemblage of all classes of political opinions in his native town, on an occasion of such unanimity as had distin guished the present meeting. He gladly availed himself of the opportunity to testify his admiration of the principles of the guest of the evening, and ho would do his utmost to forward the principles of the Pottinger treaty.—(Great applause.) That the nb stract doctrines of free trade had been adopted in high quarters he consi3ered as generally known ; and he would allude to an observation of Lord Stanley, in Liverpool, on that clause which includes all other nations in the same clause as ourselves ; and his Lord ship had said no clause would tend more to improve our condition with the Chinese.—(Applause.) The company separated a few minutes after twelve o'clock. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Dec. 18.) Three hundred and fifty rank and file from this garri son and Templemore are to be distributed at Castle Connell, O'Brien's Bridge, Cappaglimore, Newport, Toomevara, Borrisokane, Borrisoleigh, a n d Silverminea. Troops are ordered to occupy the following stations, viz.:—O'Brien's Bridge, Newport, ;Castle Connell, Bor risokane, Moneygall, Silvermines, Cappaghmore, Clough jordn, and Borrisoleigh ; also Mohill and Ballinamore, county Leitrim, to assist the civil power in repressing disturbances at these stations. Colonel Pennefather shortly returns from Dublin, to command his gallant regiment, the 22d, again ordered on service in Sinde. He is not yet perfectly recovered from his wounds. The bead-quarter division of the 67th under Colonel Bunbury, arrived this day in Dublin. Sir Edwary Blakeney has not yet filled up the vacancy on his staff of A.D. C., caused by the promotion of Cap tain Forester. The steam-vessel Rhadamanthus arrived at Kingstown from Liverpool, with the first division, five companies and a field officer, of the 67th Regiment. Strength as follows :-13 officers, 375 non-commissioned officers, drummers, and privates ; 24 women, 51 children, and proceeded by railway to Dublin, where they occupy Richmond barracks. Brevet Major Hooper's company, 69th, has relieved Captain O'Halloran's company at Cashel. Royal Marine Artillery —Head quarters, Spike Island, Cove of Cork ; a detachment of two sergeants and seven gunners are under orders to embark, per steam-vesset, for the forts on the lower Shannon ; a similar detach ment of the same corps is ordered to join head quarters. The Spanish Government offer to pay four per cent to the Anglo-Spanish legionary claimants, who hold certi ficates of service. The new barracks at Newport, South Wales, will not be taken up by the 75th until next spring. Captain Stewart, of the 92d, is appointed stair of of pensioners of Roscommon. Lieut. Shakspear, 2d European Infantry, killed at the capture of Samanghur, in the Mahrattas, was son of Capt, Shakspear, formerly of the 10th Hussars. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Friday afternoon, one of the coal porters in the employ of Mr. Stephen Davies, of Somerset Wharf, Bankside, slipped off the barge Mary Anne, and was drowned. It seems that, from the great pressure of business now consequent on the inclement weather, it has been found necessary to rig up the lights along shore, commonly known as "devils," circular grates filled with burning coal. It was in shift. ing one of these that the unfortunate man lost his life. Mr. Guilderslea,ve, the wharf clerk, made every eff or t to save the unhappy man, but unavailingly. Mr. Davies ha s handsomely expressed his determination of providing for the bereaved widow and children.

" We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical protession, for what reason we are at a losst o know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recenasnend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer_ leg from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in Its pages." —Age and Argus. The Authors of The Silent Friaavd,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

He confessed, when he saw in the public prints that the officers attached to that expedition, and leading it, had ventured to at tack an empire which numbered among its military forces 1,800,000 combatants, and that only with a force which at no period exceeded 9,000 men of all arms, and only 24 ships of war, two of which only were line-of- battle ships, he thought we should all agree that never at any period was the honour of the liritith arms more brilliantly sustained. He had never felt any sort 9f apprehension as to any attacks upon us. He knew the stamina of Englishmen; and, if ever the time should arrive, and he hoped it was far distant, that we might place the most implicit reliance , li
