NITHAT OF THE WEST The üblic will naturally expect to receive some infor mation with refe p rence to that OPENING at the WEST END which has so long been a topic of interest with all classes of society. It will nut be expected that the result of so vast a project should Pass by without comment. An ordinary speculation —an every-day undertaking—might re quire no such announcement ; but an event like that in connexion With E. MOSES and SON'S WEST END Ilat .NCH is of a charac ter too important to escape especial notice, which notice the pro prietors are fully prepared to bestow. The EIGHTH of OCTOBER and the days following that im portantdate, have proved successful beyond exaggeration. All the warmest anticipations which the Proprietors indulged have been completely realised. The pulse of the public has been felt, and there is but one opinion prevailing, namely, that in the opening of E. MOSES and SON'S West End Branch letablishment, a DESIDE RATUM has been unquestionably' supplied. The EIGHTH of OCTOBER, 1850, was regarded by all parties as an important conjuncture in the Trading transactions of the Western locality ; and long before the Opening Day arrived, an interest and anxious expectation were clearly manifest. The public Viewed their own interests as intimately connected with this specu lation ; and many were the inquiries as to the probable commence ment of the business of the Establishment, while yet the premises Were unfinished. _ On the Dayof Opening a feeling of exc it emen t preva il e d sinallar'to that attending the opening of some public edifice; and the Eighth of October paused off as a day of the most triumphant success. The vessel was launched amid the smiles of an approving public ; and 1 1%. MOSES and SON had mere than sufficient to warrant them in the co ;elusion that they had not taken a wrong step in embarking in So necessary a speculaton. T he vast concourse of people around the New Premises (a con course evitsout precedent in that locality), was an evident sign of t he Palle feeling on the subject ; and the frequent cheers which burst from the multitude told plainly that the opening of E. MOSES and SO N was hailed as an advantageous improvement at that im- Portant part of the growing metropolis. While the most encouraging proofs of public approbation were observable out-of-doors ; while crowds all day long were pressing round the New Premises anxious to catch a glimpse of the elegant Winter Fashions arranged in the capacisus windows, the Establish- Ment in its interior was a scene of equal animation. THE SHOW-ROOMS and the various departments were thronged With visitors wh o gaze d w i t h mingled wonder and pleasure at the beauty and accommodation of the arrangement of the premises. Every body was satisfied, and but one opinion prevailed as to the elegance of the various portions of the Establishment being subser vient to the more essential purposes of public accommodation. Nor is this all. Had the numberless parties who visited the NEW BRANCH ESTABLISHMEN T of E. MOSES and SON done no More than pronounce their approbation of the premises, or their co incidence with the Proprietors' views, E. MOSES and SON would have had wherewithal to congratulate themselves. But the favour of the publie was evinced in a more sterling and tangible form. The ORDER -BOOKS in the BESPOKE DEPARTMENT told tales of success whi c h were highly encourag i ng to th e P ro prietors. One ;continual succession of important orders for the WINTER ATTIRE of E. MOSES' and SON, from persons of rank and allin ence distinguished the opening and succeeding day: of the NEW BRANCH. ESTABLISHMENT. TILE READY-MADE DEPARTMENT was equally favoured, not from any impulse arising from the novelty of the opening, but from a firm reliance in E. MOSES and SON'S principles, and from an admiration created by an inspection of the elegant fashions for the season. The West End has not displayed a trading scene so ani- Mated—so busy—since it has been a peopled locality. in Opening has proved altogether one of the most extraordinary Su the annals of trade, and if the Proprietors appear to be indulging 111 anything like extravagance of terms. it must be attributed to the triumph of an event which cannot certainly be exaggerated. It would be impossible for the Proprietors to represent their open ing in too glowing colours. The difficulty—the absolute impossibi bilitY—is to convey an adequate idea of the extraordinary result which attended their opening in NEW OXFORD-STREET. It now remains for them to make that acknowl.dgment which Such success, as a matter of course,;so justly deserves. 'I he impossibility of making a due acknowledgment must appear from the encouraging facts above recorded. No verbal manifestation of gratitude (however warm) could, in any way, suffice as an acknowledgment under circumstances 53 atispicious. Rut a bile unable to tender due thanks in words, the Proprietors have an opportunity of showing their grateful feelings in a manner More advantageous to the public. The Thousands who have aided their New Breach Establislunent Since its opening, have had con , toeing proofs of the benefits result ing from a purchase of E. MOSES and SON'S Attire. Convincing proofs have been afforded that the statements made by the Proprietors are established beyond confutation. Articles of WINTER ATTIRE, lashonable, durable, and cheap, have been bought as advertised ; and these equ table principles have been acted upon which cannot fail to benefit the Public, aild to raise E. MOSES and SON in the estimation of the community at large. By wetting:4g and extending the advantages at their Branch Es tablishment, E. MOSES and SON hope to make that acknowledg ment watch, in words, they are unable to make. It is too often the case, that an opening stock is " got up" as " a draw," and that the Public have, after a time, to regret ani o censure a "falling off." But experience with E. MOSES and SON, inany else where, must convince every candid person that such is way applicable to the present Proprietors, who make it their con stant en ieavour so to act as to improve upon acquaintance. Their PARENT HOUSE. and their BRANCH lIOUSES in SHEFFIELD and IIIt.eDFORD, are proofs that one day's practice is not contradicted by that of another. To ensure permanent support, they are ever resolved on them a acting upon permanent principles ; and this, they tru t will gain continuance and increase of that support which distinguishedi. the e opening of their New Branch Establishment at the West End o Metropolis. The voucher whiih the Public have given of their " good will" to the Proprietors will not be lost sight of. While E. MOSES AND SON thank their supporters in the most hearty and respect ful Manner, they are resolved to merit, by every possible means is the ir Power, a continuance of that aid which secured for them So ;trium phant a commencement.

DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable Interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security for an adva nce, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in- ' temperate habits was concealed from the Mike. lhe chief evidence turne i upon the questio n as to the degree of intempera e evidence turne tht had been exhibited, and the resWt was, that a verd:ct was given the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy , but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote-lif e ng ach po them- selves in ewry case by du e in q uiries before the grantim licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility 01 the cfrom om pleteness of such inquiries by holdin g themselves precluded raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what to be can p ro perly invalidate a claim , and ye t the p ublic are expected _able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if the y were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress o f life assurance. 'rhe very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty , and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

A letter from the Lord Mayor Elect to the Lord M iyor was read, expressing - Mr. Alderman Mus• grove's acquiescence in the late mayoralty election, and his readiness to take upon himself the duties of the office. Mr. BLADES, the elrairman of the Library Corn. mittee, brought up a report " For authority to draw upon the chamber for the sum of 251., for the purpose of statistical tables and diagrams illustrating the rise and progress of the cholera in the city of London in 1849."—Agreed to. SMITHFIELD MARKET ENLARGEMENT. Mr. T. H. HALL, in the temporary absence of Mr. H. L. Taylor, the Chairman of the Markets Improve ment Committee, brought up the following report : "We whose names are hereunto subscribed, of your Markets Improvements Committee, to whom, on the 23d of June last, were referred back our reports pre sented on the 13th of June and 11th of July, relative to Smithfield-market, with instructions to send an answer (in conformity with their report) to Mr. Cornewall Lewis, and with power to communicate or confer with the Government, if necessary, and to re port to the Court, do certify that we have proceeded upon such reference, and having considered of a reply to be sent to the letter of Mr. George Corne wall Lewis, we prepared the same in the following terms, viz.:— " Guildhall, July 31, 1850. " Sir,—ln answer to your letter of the 24th of June, lam directed by the Markets Improvement Committee of the Corporation of London, in purs suance of an order of the Court of Common Counci] of the 23d of July, to state that your letter, and the report accompanying it, have been fully and maturely considered, and the notice of the Corporation having been drawn by your letter to the recommendation of five of the commissioners for the discontinuance of the present market at Smithfield, and the establish ment of a new market for the sale of cattle without the City, the Corporation arei advised to protest against the commission being used for the purpose of affecting the rights prescriptive, chartered, and Par liamenterily and judicially conferred to the Corpora tion of London, and cannot concur in the proposed re moval of the market from the place where it has been held by the citizens of London from time immemorial under the common law and their charters, which prohibit the establishment of any other market within seven miles of the City, and which charters have been confirmed by Parliament, and lately supported by the judgment of the House of Lords, assisted by the judges. " The Corporation having recently prepared a comprehensive plan and model for the purpose of meet ing the suggustions pointed out by the reports of the several S,lect Committees of the House of Com mons, and proposed means for effecting it, they cannot undertake the task of constructing a new market without the limits of the City, for which no site, nor plans, nor estimate is suggested ; whilst the plan proposed by the Corporation is ready, when sanctioned by Parliament, for immediate execution. " I am, Sec., (Signed) " ED. TYRRELL, City Remembrancer. " ' G. C. Lewis, Esq., M.P.' "Oa the 31st of July last, directions were given to the Remembrances. to forward the above, and since that period your Committee have not received any reply from Mr. G. C. Lewis, nor had any fur ther communication from the Government upon the subject. " Your Committee, under the circumstances, are of opinion, and recommend t hat in order to be pre pared for further proceeding, the proper notices should be given of an application to Parliament by the Cor poration for the improvement of Smithfield-marker, in conformity with the several resolutions of this Honourable Court. " To facilitate these measures, and prevent delay in case this Honourable Court should agree with our suggestion, we directed the officers to be prepared with all requisite information, and we authorised the architect to engage the needful assistance. We there fore seek the sanction of the Court for payment of all necessary disbursements, not exceeding the sum of 5001. We have also fully reconsidered the plan for the proposed alterations and enlargement of the mar ket, which was submitted to the Court on the 13th of June last, and we have now finally declared and arranged the same, so as to enable us to take the pre liminary proceedings by giving the proper notices SO required in such cases. " All this we submit to the judgment, &c., IL L. TAYLOR, " J. BAKER, as RICHARD HICKS, "G. HARKER, " VAL. RUTTER, " J. J. MILLARD, " T. J. flour, " G. AITCHESON, " THOS. ROWLEY, " JOHN WILSON,; "R. C. BUCKNALL, "T. IL BALL. " GEO. TAYLOR, " Dated this Bth day of October, 185 0 ." In order to have the matter put more clearly be fore the Court, the following paragraphs from the report of the 11th of July were read as the discus sion proceeded : " Instead of promoting our Parliatnentary measures to obviate the alleged inconveniences, or to effect the propositions heretofore made, the Government, after the subject had been canvassed for upwards ( f twenty-two years, issue a commission to one of the Secretaries of State for the Home Deparinent, and some other gentlemen, to inquire end consider whe ther any and what means can be properly and bene ficially adopted for carrying into effect the recom mendations of the Committee of the House of Com mons of 1849.' A majority of those C3mmissioners in their turn also made a report, without adopting any practical plan for effecting the required ohj , cts. These Commissioners likewise examined many wit nesses, whose evidence fills 136 folio pages, and these reports appear to have been framed upon a con sideration of all these prior proceeding(. Your Committee cannot but concur in the statement of the two Commissioner s , that the question of the re tnoval of Smithfield -market having been thus de bated for several pars past by various parties, it may fairly be assumed, that in the course of the different inquiries, all the grounds for its removal h-ive been ascertained and stated, and are to be found in the minutes of evidence, as well as in the several petitions and reports presented from time to time to Parliament.' Your cotnmittee, therefore, concluded that the whole question may now be pro perly determined upon in former reports and evidence, in conjunction with the two recently made to her but the Com- Majesty, and the evidence taken under the Commi.- sion. Your commit tee are altogether unable to find by , your committee, in that report any facts extracted from the evidence to warrant the inference there dra wn ' it is advisahe to drawn the atten missioners merely refer to certain reasons adopted by them against the plan suggested and arrive at the conclusion that remove the market.' Having thus signed by the five we cannot but re- of the Court to the report thaneeport signed by the Commissioners, your committee feel it to be now their two duty other observeer Commissioners also upon ; mark that their report Prneeecig mainly upon the same quotations from the report of 1849, as those adopted by the five other Commissioners, and also upon the same facts stated by . them, the differ conclusion to which they ence being only in the que stion, h therefore, is merely respectively arrive. The one of inference. Wre have no esitation in saying views taken by the two that we consider that the i m portance of the subject— Commissioners, as to the the removal—the danger of the uncertain effect of correctness of the such an experiment — t he inconve niences—the sufficiency of the area for all present t he capability of practical purposes, and future en • largement—the a bsence o complaint from th e sur rounding important public ins u ions—the answer as to the deterioration of the cattle—and the h ea lthi ness of the immediate neighbourhood—all seem correct, and irresistibly support t_ conclusion at whic th have arrived. Under s i h t t e . hese circum s t ances , t h here ey - co nsideration, as well for the fore, and upon every benefit of the public at large as of the citizens of Lon don in particular your committee .. cannot but express their firm and unaltered opinion, that the suggestion for the removal of Smithfield-market, is without any adequate reason, fo unded upon p ublic considerations, for the present, or any certainty as to its effects for the future. The y conceive that the full and exten sive inquiry, 'P r t ibl . - of more than twenty ears, has on ly i-bed how easy it is to exhibit evils and to counsel change, but how difficult to propose well -digested improvements in the system of supplying so larg opulation with food." 1,,. H A LL then said t h at h e regrette d Mr. Hellr.nry Lawrence Taylor,_ the c h a i rman o f t h e Markets Improvement Committee, was not present upon that occasion, but as that was the case, it re mained for him to state that the only object the com mittee had in view in the r( commendation they had made, was to o btain the sanction of the Court to the application to Parliament, which they considered it necessary to make in the ensuing se ss i on , f or powers to enlarge th e site of Smithfield• mark e t, as proposed in a recent recommendation made by the Markets Improvement Committee. Deputy Ileaarsort was anxious to understand to what the report pledged the Court. Was the cost of the alterations proposed to be 500,000/. or 800,0001? And was he to understand that the improvements at Holborn-bill formed a portion of the sc h eme ? Mr. HALL said, that the amount for the enlarge merit of the market and the coastruction of a new street leading directly from Holborn- bridge to Long lane, Smithfield (entirely out of the way of the pro posed market) was 500,0001.; the Holborn-bill im provement had formed a subject for an entirely sepa rate consideration. Mr. ANDERTON considered that it was necessary, before they gave their sanction to that report, that they should know more about the subject, especially as the recommendation involved the outlay of a large sum of money. The proposition involved the expen diture of at least half a million, and he thought that rather than dispose of the matter summarily, by agree ing at once with the report, as proposed, that they had better receive further information upon the sub ject, as the expenses of the notices had merely refer ence to advertisements, which would not amount to more than 501. In answer to a question put by Mr. H. TAYLOR, Mr. T. H. HALL stated that, of course, several expenses had been entered into necessarily by the committee. They had had a model prepared, which was not at present paid for, and other in formation had been sought for and obtained, for which bills had been sent in by the parties em ployed. Mr. HALL (the chairman of the Improvement Committee), in order to correct a misconception which appeared to have been entertained by some of the members of the court, stated that the amount of cost for the improvement would not be more than from 340,0001. to 350,0001. Of course the cost would be regulated by the question as to the raising of the Holborn-bridge valley; but however that subject might be treated, the alteration of the levels in the instance of the new market would make no difference in the accomplishment of the proposed works, though it might affect the cost of the construction of them. Mr. JUPP understood that the entire cost would be much more than stated. Mr. HALL said that the Smithfield and H..lboen hill improvements would amount together to 800,000/ but that of Smithfield alone, and which be begged to say embraced large alterations, amounted to 500,000/. only. Mr. DE JERSEY thought that time for the con-i -deration of the proposition ought to be given. They ought to have due thought upon the subject before they carried out the resolution. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, after expressing his sur pri-e that the representatives for the City, on the Smithfield-market question, had not furnished any statement to that court as to their views upon the subject, wished to inquire whether the Government had proposed any site for a new market,.or any plan with reference thereto. Mr. HALL replied, that no communication had been received since the one named in the report of the committee, nor had any answer been received from the Home-office to the last letter sent by order of that Court. Mr. CLARK thought that the Court was bound to consider this question as one of the utmost importance to the citizens of London. What were they now about to do ? Why, they were going to seek powers to enable them, at a cost of from 500,000/. to 800,0001., to enlarge Smithfield-market. Such a proposition he considered to be premature ; it was not even decent. People out of doors had given their opinion, that Smithfield ought to be removed, and now they were actually proposing that twelve acres more ground should be added to the market. place, which the universal opinion declared to be a nuisance. He was not one of the advocates for the removal of Smithfield, as he considered that in a mercantile point of view, its existence in its present locality was exceedingly valuable to the citizens of London, but he thought an enlargement of it would only add to the evil connected with it, of which the public very just complained. When Smithfield was established, the population of the City numbered about 200,000, now it amounted to 2,000 000; he therefore thought that, instead of enlarging the pre sent market, they ought to do all they could to obtain a second market in some other part of the town, leav ing the present Smithfield where it is, and improving its management as much as possible. He thought they would be acting wisely if they refused to agree with tlae committee in their report, as it might be the case that if they waited sot& time longer the Govern ment riga& send an answer to them which might be deemedTeriatfiyagatisfactory. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR (the chairman of the Markets Improvement Committee) observed that he had heard with considerable surprise that before he entered the court an objection had been taken to the grant of a sum " not exceeding " 5001. for the disbursements and giving notices of an application to Parliament. Some parties had insinuated that the architect ought to do this work himself, without extra cost. He (Mr. Taylor) knew that ro better officer than Mr. Bunning was connected with the Corporation in any capacity, and in respect of Smithfield-market he had produced a plan which was worthy of universal admira tion. Ile (Mr. Taylor) would assert that Mr. Bun ning had done his duty upon all occasions since he had been connected with the Corporation, both fearlessly, honestly, and openly, and he (Mr Taylor) contended, therefore, that it was bat simple justice to allow the report as read to be acted upon forthwith. The com mittee, in order to secure a full investigstion of the subject, had ordered a model of the proposed market and new street to be prepared, and in co:lst-gm-tics an artist had been engaged for that purpose. Other ex penses also had accrued, and it was but natural that they (the committee) should seek for means to defray the same, and that day they had asked the Court to do so. They requested a sum "not exceeding 5001;" if they were able to do with less they would do so, f o r he could assure them that they might rely upon it that the committee would not spend one shilling more than they were obliged to do. He (Mr. Tay lnytb ~,: ra c) r faoktw u ie: t o :si u d o l h d tfeo t sb hz ies uetaavnite:aenennr miles,dt t p t e o , sip t nsalNipyte:s:tdrfatatuthc opportunity totythh Paris.atrf cofv ( inf u ste r iet i eoi n nt gm themthemiles es 4 a, ut u l. rt wo o l u v l r i c l it e s s eriously advocate onirei toh c f : tt p hc i e t w of as C cl it u y it t e ra c ti l e ea to r such a distance from St. Paul's ; the step would be most injurious to all classes.—(Hear.) One fact he (Mr. Tailor) had ascertained while in Paris, and that that no person Preachof was this, that not only did the butchers of Paris, but f a r o r emmtuhvea 1 some of the inhabitants also had expressed their desire that the markets should be brought back--these iden • tical markets—so that they might take place within the fortifications of Paris ; so that it was to be hoped, with these facts before them, that the Legislature would hesitate before they took any positive steps as to the removal of Smithfield-market. —(Hear.) Deputy HARRISON thought that Mr. Taylor was out of order in going into such matters. The ques tion before them was simple. The report merely , asked for leave to give notice of an application to Par liament for the improvement of Smithfield-market, and tor authority to draw upon the Chamber for dis bursements. lie (Deputy Harrison) found that in the report of the Markets Improvement Committee, presented to the Court on the 13th day of June, 1850, that the estimated amount of the whole cost of the live cattle-market was 245,000/., the dead meat-mar ket and buildings 177,0001., and the slaughter-houses 45,0001.; making a total of 527,000/. It was right that the public should not be misinformed in this re spect, as the matter was important. Mr. GILFIN (as we understood) said, in reply to Mr. Taylor's statements as to the Parisian markets, that he was prepared to state that the statements made by that gentleman were not altogether correct so far as regards the City. He (Mr. Gilpin) had ob tained that knowledge by a recent personal inspection of the markets in question, and by a conversation with several of the inhabitants. He rose to order, and wished to ask the Lord Mayor w hether Mr. Taylor was to be permitted to introduce new matter into the debate ? After some delay, The LORD MAYOR decided that, in reply, no new matter could be introduced. Mr. TAYLOR said that he would bow to his Lord ship's decision, but that he intended to take an early opportunity of bringing the matter again under the notice of the Court, with the view of substantiating nis statements with regard t) the Parisian markets. The report was then egreed to, only two hands being held up in o pposition to it. JEWS' FREE SCHOOL. A report with reference to this excellent institution was brought up by Mr. T. White, recommending a grant of one hundred guines in aid of the fund. In July last Mr. B. S. Phillip, who is of the Jewish persuasion, and one of the representatives of the war d of Farringdon Within, presented a petition f ro m the governors and subscribers to the institution. This was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee for their report, and yesterday the money was voted by acclamation. It was stated that 1,100 children, of both sexes, reciived moral and religious instruction in these schools, and for a series of years they have been clothed, anonymously, by the late lamented and respected Baroness de Rothschild. The sum of 1051. was also granted to the Church of England Sunday-school Institute. THE SMALL DEBTS ACT. Upon the motion of Mr. ANDERTON, it was re ferred to the Secondaries and City Courts Committt e, to consider the expediency of applying to Parliament [PRICE SD. to extend the London (City) Small Debts Act, 1847 (10 and 11 Victoria), for the recovery of debts to the amount of 501., thereby assimilating the same to the present County Courts Act, and that they do report theieon forthwith to the court. BALL AT GUILDHALL F3R TIIE ASSISTANCE or THE POLES. A deputation from the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, consisting of Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., president ; Count Ladislas Zamoyski, and Lieutenant Charles Szulcezwoski, appeared, with the following petition : " After a lapse of two years we again approach the bar of your Honourable Court, for the purpose of ask ingyour permission that a ball, in aid of the funds of the Polish Association, may be given in your Guild hall, and under your patronage. " Since you last granted to us this great favour the amount annually voted by Parliament for the relief of Polish refugees resident in this country has, from mo'ives of economy, been very much diminished, whilst the funds at the disposal of the association have been no less reduced, principally in consequence of exertions made, with great perseverance, but, as we believe, with little justice, to persuade the public that all assistance afforded to the Poles must necessarily be rendered at the expense of the distressed among our own countrymen, possessing the greater claims to sympathy. " The association would be happy if they could re port that this diminution in the funds available for the relief of the refugees had been accompanied by favor responding abatement in the misery prevalent amongst them. Unfortunately, however, such is not the case. For while, on the one hand, facilities for obtaining employment increase as their residence in this country is protracted ; yet, on the other band, with advancing age they become liable to bodily infirmity and sick ness, and to those very circumstances, in tact, which appeal most strongly to the sympathy f the benevo lent, and to alleviate which their succour can, with the greatest propriety, be afforded. " Earnestly, therefore, yet with the confidence which fl iws from the recollection of former kindness, we entreat your Honourable Court again to grant us the means of relieving the necessities of men con demned to the penalties of poverty and exile, for no other crime than their attachment to a cause which all who have earned the reputation of statesmen, whatever may be their creed in politics, have pro nounced to be founded on the plainest principles of justice. " And Sour petttiontrs, &c. Mr. Deputy Hour, who, in the absence of Deputy Peacock, presented the petition, supported its pray arid said that what had already been derie by the Cor poration for the untortunate sufferers reflected the highest credit on the city of London. It was, he added, a aource of very great gratification to these who exerted themselves to promote the object of the association, that no possible injury could he done by the mode of relief proposed to the poor of this country, by an interference with their superior claims to as sistance and relief.—(Cheers.) He concluded by moving that the prayer of the petition be complied with. Mr. R. TAYLOR with great pleasure seconded the motion. Nothing, perhaps, redounded more to the honour of the English people than their treatment of strangers, and the French at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes had some experience of the effect of our sympathy for those who had no longer protection or eecurity at home.—(Llear.)- The use of the Guildhall was unanimously voted.

When a man is strongly pre-occupied with the crisis under which his country labours, every oppor tunity that arises is caught at to turn to the profit of his compatriots the sights with which he is struck, and the reflections with which these sights inspire him. Called by circumstances of an entirely private nature to revisit England for some time, atter an ab sence of twenty years, it was impossible for me not to be dazzled by the immense progress made by Eng land during that lapse of time, not only in population, in riches, industry, navigation, railroads, extent, edi fices, embellishments, the health of the capital, but also, and more especially in charitable institutions for the people, and in associations of real, religious, conservative, and fraternal socialism, between classes to prevent the explosions by the evaporation of the causes which produce them, to stifle the murmurs from below by incalculable benefits from above, and to close the mouths of the people, not by the brutalities of the police, but by the arm of public virtue. Very far from feeling afflicted or humiliated at this fine spectacle of the operation of so many really popular works, which give to England at the present mo ment an incontestable pre eminence in this respect over the rest of Europe, and over us, I rej Aced at it. To asperse one's neighb-our is to lower oneselt. The rivalries between netions are paltry and shameful when they consist in denying or in hating the good that is d o ne by our neighbours. These rivalries, on the contrary, are noble and fruitful when they consist in acknowledging, iu glorifying, and in imitating the good which is done everywhere : in• steed of being jealousies, these rivalries becoine emu lation. What does it s gnify whether a thing be En glish or French, provided it be a benefit ? Virtues have no country, or rather they are of every country : it is God who in-pires them, and humanity which profits by them. Let us then learn for one how to admire. 2. But I am told that these practical virtues of the English to the poorer, the proletaire, the suffering elisses, are nothing but the prudence of egotism ! Even if that were the case, we ought still to applaud, tor an egotism so prudent and so provident, an egot ism which could do itself justice by so well imitating virtue, an egotism which would corrupt the people by charity and prosperity , suc h an egotism as that w o uld be the most profound and most admirable of policies, it would be the Machiavelism of virtue. But it is not given to egotism alone to transform itself so well into an appearance of charity ; egotism re stricts itself, while charity diffuses itself; without doubt there is prudence in it, but there is also virtue ; without doubt, Old England, the veritable patrician republic under her frontispiece of monarchy, feels that the stones of her feodal edifice are be coming disjoined, cud might tumble under the blast of the age if she did not bind them together every day by the cement of her institutions in favour of her people. That is good sense, but under that goo d sense there is virtue ; and it is impossible t o remain in England for any length of time without discovering it. The source of that public virtue is the religious feeling with which that people is endowed more than many others ; a divine feeling prac tical religious liberty has developed at the present moment, under a hundred forms, among them. Every one has a God, where every one can recognize the light of reason, and adore that God, and serve him with his brothers in the sincerity and in the independence of his faith. Yes, there is, if you will, at the same time prudence, well understood egotism, and public virtue in the acts of England, in order to prevent a social war. Let it be whatever you lik. But would that it pleased God that plebeian and proprietary France could also see and comprehend its duty to the people ! Would that it pleased God that she could take a lesson from that in telligent aristocracy ! Would that she could, once for all, say to herself, " I perish, I tremble, I swoon in my panics. I call at one time on the Monarchy, at another on the Republic, at another on legitimacy, now on illegiti macy—then on the Empire, now on the Inquisition— then on the police, now on the sabre, and then on speech to save me, and no one will save me but my self. I will save myself by my own virtue." 3. I have seen England twice in my life ; the first time in 1822. It was the period when the Holy Al liance, recently victorious and proud of its victories over the spirit of conquest of Napoleon, struggled against the newly born liberalism, and was only oc cupied in everywhere restoring ancient regimes and ancient ideas. The Government of E,iglaud, held at that time by the intelligent heirs of a great man (Mr. Pitt), was n veritable c 'tam - fiction to the true astute of the c: untry of liberty : it had taken up the eau, of absolute sovereigns ageinet the nations; it made of the free and proud citizen of England the supp It and soldier of the Holy Alliance ; it blindly combatted the revolution, with its spirit end institutions et home and everywhere else. England, by no means corn• fortable under such a Government, hardly recognised hers If. She felt by instinct that she was made to play the part of the seide of despotism, and of the churches, in place of the part of champion of inde pendent nationalities, and of the regulated liberty of thought which Mr. Pitt had conceived for her. Thus her tribunes, her public papers, her popular meet ings, her very streets and public places, rung with indignation against her Government a nd her aris tocracy. The ground trembled in London under the steps of the multitudes who assembled at the slightest appeal or opportunity ; the language of the people breathed anger, the physiognomy hatred of class to class ; hideous povertylhung up its tatters before the doors of the most sumptuous quarters; £lO6 17 0 £2OB 9 10 15 16 8 £224 6 6 ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. Woomica, OCT. 10.—Major-General J. B )teler Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, has issued an order, of which the following is a copy " ORDER BY THE LIEUTENANT - GOVERNOR. " Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Oct. 7. " The unprecedented occurrence of 10 cadets being, by the minute . of the Master-General of the 20th ult., removed from the Royal Military Academy, appears to the Lieutenant-Governor to call for a slight remark or two, principally to quiet the feel ings of all interested in the reputation of the esta blishment. " It having come to the knowledge of his Lordship the Master-General that certain obscene habits and practices had most unfortunately been introduced into the Ordnance School at Carshalton, his Lordship in stituted a committee to proceed there and examine evidence, the result of which is most calamitous, and has ended in the removal of many of the pupils as well as the 10 cadets lately admitted from that school. " It cannot fail to satisfy any one capable of farm ing an opinion that the Master-General, in coming to this determination, has evinced the utmost jealousy for the reputation of this academy by cutting of all sorts of contamination. " This Severe but just measure will, it is believed, give confidence to the parents and friends of boys re• 'paining in the school, and he the most effectual method of restoring the reputation and moral character of the establishment." [ADVERTISEMENT.]—The further examination of I the parties suspected of the Frimley murder will take place on Satutd,iy, which will enable the Observer of Sunday, Oc tober 13, to give the fullest particulars, and all other matters connected with this atrocious affair. The Observer, of Octo ber 6, gave nearly four columns of the murder, including edi torial remarks. The extensive publication of the Observer commence, on Sunday mornings at four o'clock, ir. time fur all the Sunday mot - Ling railways. Monday's edition at four Monday afternoon. women in a state of emaciation, hectic children, and ghastly men were to be eeerawandering with a threat ening carelessness about shops and warehouses loaded •11 with riches ; the constables and the troops were in-' _ N eseesi sufficient, after 'the scandalous process of th , .> Qucep-,- to bridle that perpetual sedition of discontent and:isfOY hunger. The painful consciousness of a temps* . hanging over Great Britain was felt in the air. ',A Cabinet, the author and victim of that false position, ,:,./\ sunk under the effort. A statesman sought in dei6e?e4 e )o spair a refuge against the difficulties which he saw is accumulating on his country, and which he could no s,kr . AeVN longer dominate but by force. I avow that I myself, at that time young and a foreigner, and not yet knowing either the solidity or the elasticity of the institutions and the manners of England, was deceived, like everybody else, by these sinister symptoms of a fall, and that I prognosticated, as everybody else also did, the approaching decline and fall of that great and mysterious country. The Ministry of Mr. Canning placed me happily in the wrong. I saw England again in 1830, a few months after our revolution of July. At that time the political Government of England was moderate, reasonable, and wise. It endeavoured, as Lord Palmerston, as Sir Robert Peel, as the Duke of WeLington have done, after the revolution of February, to prevent a collision on the Continent between the revolution and the counter-revolution. It then refused, as it refused in 1848, to be a party to an anti-French or anti-Re publican coalition. It proclaimed not only the right and independence of nationalities, but also the sight and independence of revolutions. It thus, humanely avoided irritating the revolutionists. It spared Eu rope the effusion of much blood. But in 1830 it was the misery of the English and Irish proletaires that frightened the regards, and brought consternation to the thoughts of observers. Ireland was literally dying of inanition. The manufacturing districts of the three kingdoms having produced more than the world could consume during the fifteen years of peace, left an overflow of manufactures; the masses, ema ciated, vitiated in body and mind, and vitiated by their hatred against the class of society who possess. The manufacturers had dismissed armies of workmen without bread; these black columns were to be seen, with their mud-coloured jackets, dotting the avenues and streets of London, like columns of insects whose nests had been upset, and who blackened the soil un. der their steps. The vices and brutishness of these masses of prole- Soiree, degraded by ignorance and hunger—their al ternate poverty and debaucheries—their promiecu ousness of ages, of sexes, of dens of fetid straw—their bedding, in cellars and garrets—their hideous cla mours, to be met with at certain hours of the morning in certain lanes of the unclean districts of London— when that human vermin emerged into the light of the sun with bowling, groaning, or laughter that was really Satanic, would . have made the masses of fri,e creatures really envy the fate of the black slaves of our colonies—masses which are abased and flogged, but at all events loathed ! I; was the recruiting of the army of Marius; all thet was wanting was a fhg. Social war was visible thete, with all its borrsrs and its tunes. Everybody saw it, and I myself fore boded it like everybody else. These s 3 mptoms struck toe as such evidence of en approaching overthrow for a constitution which thus allowed its vices to staguete and mantle, that having same portion of my patri mony in England, I hastened to remove it, and to place it where it would be sheltered from a wreck which appeared to me to be inevitable. During that time the aristocracy and the great proprietary of Eog land appeared insensible to these prognostics uf social war, scandalised the eyes of the public by the con trast of their Asiatic luxury with these calamities, absented themselves from their pr parties during whole years, and were travelling from Paris to Naples and to Florence, while at the same time propagating speculative or incendiary liberalism with the Liberals of the Continent. Who would not have trembled for such a country ? This time (September, 1850) I was struck, in visiting England, with an impression wholly opposed to the impressions which I have just depicted to you. I arrived in London, and I no longer recognised that capital, excepting by that immense cloud of smoke that that vast focus of English labour or leisure raises in the heavens, and by that overflowing without limits of houses, workshops, and chateaux, and agree able residences (demesnes de plaisance), that a city of two millions six hundred thousand inhabitants casts year after year beyond its walls, even to the depths of her forests, her fields, and her hills. Like a po • lypus with a thousand branches, London vegetates and engrafts, so to speak, on the common trunk of the City quarters on quarters, and towns upon towns. These quarters, some for labour, and others for the middle classes ; some for the choice leisure of the literary classes, and others for the sumptuosities of the aristocracy and for the splendours of the crown, not only attest the increase of that city which en larges itself in proportion to its inhabitants, but they testify to the increase of luxury, of art, of riches, and of ease, of all which the characters are to be recognised in the disposition, in the architecture, in the ornaments, in the spaciousness, and in the luxury, sometimes splendid, sometimes modest, cf the habi tations of mau. In the west two new towns—two towns of hotels and palaces—two towns of Kings of civili zation, as the ambassador of Carthage would have said—havel sprung up. Towards the green and wooded heights of Hampstead, that St. Cloud of London, is a new park, including pastures, woods, waters, and gardens in its grounds, and surrounded by a circle of houses of opulent and varied architec ture, of which each represents a building capital that it. frightens one to calculate. Beyond the soli tude inclosed in the capital, other towns aed suburbs Bove commenced and are rapidly climbira•, step by step, and hillock after hillock, these heights. Iu these places arise chapels, churches, schools, hospi tale, psehensiary prisons on new models, which tak ,- s avv, , y from them their sinister aspect mai ,tion, h hold out moral health and cur reeiion to the guilty in place of punishment and braieline. In the‘r places is to he so en hvdges hou , es appropriated to all the conditions of life and fortune, but ell surrounded by a court or a little gar den, which affords the fami'y rural recollections, the hreetinng of vegetation, and the feeling of nature present even to the very heart of the tows's. This new London, which is almost rural, creeps already up these large hills, and spreads itself from season to season in the fields which environ them, to go, by lower, more active, and more smoky suburbs, to rejoin, as far as the eye can see, the Thames, be yond which the same phenomenon is reproduced on the hills and in the plains on the other side. In sur veying this the eye loses itself, as if on the waves of the ocean. On every side the horizon is too narrow to embrace that town, and the town continues beyond the horizon ; but everywhere also the sky, the air, the country, the verdure, the waters, the tops of' the oaks, are mixed with that vegetation f stones, of marble, or of bricks, and appears to make of new London not an arid and dead city, but a fertile and living province, which germinates at the same time with men and trees, with habitations and fields • a city of which the n ature has nut been changed, but in which, on the contrary, nature and civilisation respect each other, seek for and clasp each other, for the health and joy of man in a mutual embrace. Between these two banks of the river, and between its steeples and its towers—between he tops of its oaks, respected by the constructors of these new quar ters, eou perceive a moveable forest of masts, which ascend and descend perpetually the course of the Thames, and streak it with a thousand lines of smoke, which the steamers, loaded with passengers, stream out like a river of smoke above the river of water which car ries them. But it is not in the newly-constructed quar ters alone that London has changed its appearance, and presents that image of opulence, of comfort, and of labour, with thriving—the City itself, that furnace at the same time blackened and infect of this human ebullition, has enlarged its issues, widened its streets, ennobled its monuments, extended and straightened its suburbs, and made them more healthy. The ig noble lanes, with their suspicious taverns, where the population of drunken sailors, huddled together like savages in dregs and dust, have been demolished. They have given place to airy streets, where the passers-by coming back from the docks, those eutre pots of the four continents, circulate with ease in car riages or on foot, to spacious and clean houses, to mo dest but decent shops, where the maritime population find, on disembarking, clothes, food, tobacco, beer, and all the objects of exchange necessary fur the re tail trade of sea ports ; these streets are now as well cleaned from filth, from drunkenness and obscenity, as the other streets and suburbs of the City. One can pass through them without pity and without dis gust ; one feels in them the vigilance of public mo rality and the presence of a police which, if it cannot destroy vice, can at all events keep it at a distance from the eves of the pa-s, re by, and resider even the cloaci inoffensive. In the country diarists an I secondety towns around Lund ,n the sails traost'oriteatioe is ob. ervable. The innumerable rallwa, s c. hick run in e vet y direetion all over Eoglatel have eove;ed the soil w t.h stations, coal des O's, new hou-es for the persons employed, elegant ffi..es ler the administration, viaducts, bridges ewer the lines to private properties ; and all there things iinpart to E.,gland, from the sea to London, the pearence of a coun! ry which is being . cleared, upd e P r i y?b .' i d n g where the meet i i td , end everything residences fair the P t l n i s 'i e s l:s r . e being alive in this ; one feels that the people are eager is smoking, burning on, so p:rfectl; to seiz.i on the new sense of c irculation which Prod dence has just bestowe d en man. Such is England i n a physical sense, sketched broadly. As to political England, the following are the changes which struck me. 1 describe them as I reviewed, with sincerity, it is true, but not unmixed with astonishment. The appearance of the people in the street is no longer what filled me with conster nation twenty years ago. In place s-f those ragged ' bands of beggars —men, women, and children—who CO.
