On Saturday the inhabitenta. of, the town of Derby entertained Mr. Fox, their fellow townsman, head of the firm of Fox arid Henderson, at a public dinner in honour of his great achievenient, the Crystal Palace. The cc casion must have been a peculiarly gratifying one to that gentlemen, to his biother, who is this year, for the third time, Mayor of the borough, end to all his friend, who flocked around him to testify their admiration of his successful le s boure and their respect for his private cha racter. Mr. Paxton bad been specially invited to he present, and came accordingly Mr. Henderson was prevented from attending by his 'delicate state of health. As to the rest of the company, it comprised many of the chief guest's most respected toWpainen tied friends, and was in all respects a very gratifylng muster. About 150 gentlemen sat de wn to dinner, and Mr. Douglas Fox presided in a manner which did him the utmost credit. Among those present, besides several of the town and county magistracy, were Mr. Baai, M.P., Mr. Hay worth, M.P., the Right Hon. Edward Strutt, Mr. Mosley, Mr. J. Cochrane, Mr. Jobsen. Mr, Cooper, Dr. Wylde, Mr, W. E. Mousley, Mr. Low, and Mr. Crooliten. Tne dinner took place at the Royal Used, arid was worthy of the occasion. At its clos e , The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal and constitu tiontil toasts, which were re csiied with great applause. Mr. MOUSLEY then propos4f;,'• in highly laudatory terms, the health of the guest Of the eveeitig, Mr. Fex, which it is almost unnecessary tOmy was received wi h the urn,.•st enthusiasm. Mr. Fox said—le rising to return thanks for the very handsome manner in which )0U ~eve been pleesed to drink my health, I assure you I feel fermore difficulty and emharrassment than I ever experienced at any period eluting the construction of the Crystal Palace. It is im possible to express my feelings upon this the most de lighttul occasion of my life, when so much more has, been said 'hen is deserved, and so ki n dly sa id, i n p ra i se of the manner in which the work has been carried out by my good partner, Mr. Henderson, and myself. What ever may have been the weight of care and responsibi lity under which I have lived for the last twelve months, I am amply repaid for it all in th e perfect success which has hitherto attended the progress of the Exhibition, in the approbation expressed by our gracious :Sove reign, in the kind congratuleti en of all my friends, and now in the enthusiastic and heartfelt manner in which the toast has been responded to by this distin guished assembly of my fellow-townsmen.—(Loud cheers.) Before entering on a brief history of the building, I wish to state, that it is to Mr. Paxton's idea of a palace of iron a n d glees, which it ' has been my lot to matur e and realize, that the public are indebted for the present structure in Hyde park; and that gentleman proudly acknowledges that but for the enlightened views of the Duke of DO vonshire, the Lord-Lieutenant of this county, and his Grace's princely expenditure at Chatsworth, the idea of such a building might never have been entertained. In June, 1850, the Royal Commission invited contractors to tender for a building to be erected in Hyde-park, in conformity with plans and specifications prepared by the Building Committee. The building, which was intended to consist principally of brick lied iron, with a splendid dome in its centre, was considered of too permanent a nature for subsequent removal, and public opinion to this effect was very generally expressed. In the printed condition of tender issued by the Building Committee the following clause was introduced:—" Tenders for methods of construction other than those shown upon the drawings and described in the specifications, will be entertained, but on condition only of their being ac companied by working drawings and specifications, and fully priced bills of qusntities.' This invitation to par ties to send in tenders, based not only on the commit tee's plans but upon such other designs es they might wish to submit, induced me to believe theta tender fora build ing of glass and iron, as suggested to me for the first time by Mr. Paxton on the 22d of June, 1850, just 12 months ago, an engraving of which was published in the Illustrated London News on the 6th of July, would meet not only with the approbation of the building committee, but with that of the public at large; and I therefore went to Birmingham on the 18th of June, and put in hand the drawings and specifications upon which our tender to the committee WAS to be based. On the 2d of July Mr. Cole, having heard of our intention to make an offer fur a building of the kind, and feeling strongly that the success of the Exhibition depended upon having an attractive and suitable building, came down to Birmingham at his own suggestion, but with the permission of competent authority, to stimulate us to procsed, and to offer such hints iu reference to the requirements of the case as would enable us to make the conception of Mr. Paxton conform strictly O. tire con dition of tender re quired by the Commissioners, and therefore in ,st likety to meet with theeapprobation ot ,he Building Committee; and I am if opinion that to :.is spirited advice we tire mainly indebted tor ()li mning an impregusble locus standi oe the merits , f our case.—(Leud cheers.) In all this I had th• 01 ,, paratioll of my partner Mr. He r s ereen , who. feeling with me the value of Mr. Cole's sage; stions and tne great importance, in tt.e preparation of these dra,.. tugs, of cootor ming as much as possible to the arrange• r een te adepts d by the e enminee in the plan upon ele.ete ;hey hart invited tenders, proposed the tidditiou of the rettsept, iu Vie propriety or which Mr. P.,xrun, aftafte r due csnsiderie ion, entirely concurred,—.(cheers.) Be tore comeledng our tender, and with a v i ew to a more precise, adprejatton of the magnitude of a building covering 13 acres-1,850 toot I lo s, 408 feet wide, anti 64 feet, high, irrespective of the arched root of the tran lept—l walked out one evening into Portland-place; ind there setting off the 1,850 feet upon the pevement, fund it the same length within a few y ar d s; cud aisle considering that the building would b e three t imes the width of that fine street, and the nave as hi g h a s the 'louses on either side, I bad presented to my mind a pretty good idea of what we were about to undertake, and I confess that I considered the diffieulles to be sur mount. d in constructing that great palace were of no ordinary kind; but feeling confident that with great energy, good arrangements, and a hearty co-operation On the part of our extensive and well-dis e i staff it might be accomplished, and that upon it depended, in all proba bility, the success of the Exhibition, we determined to un dertake the responsibility ; and the openi ng on the Ist ef May has proved the correctness of our conclusions. —(Leud cheers.) The plans and specifications prepared by us in greet haste were submitted to the Commissioners', together with a tender, on the loth of July; but though sufficient to enable us to bring the subject before them, and to convey to their minds an idea of what we pro posed te erect, they were necessarily very incomplete, and did not contain either sufficient architectural or me chanical detail to admit of their being used in the execu tion of the works. The arched roof was afterwards added to the design, and submitted to the Commissioners on the 15th of July, with the view of getting over a difficulty which existed in consequence of the elm trees being too tall to be covered by the flat roof proposed by Mr. Paxton. For the expense attending the addition of the arched roof to the transept, Fox, Henderson, and Co. did not increase the amount of their former tender, and it was consequently executed at their sole expense. —(Cheers.) Tne Building Committee, havi ng had the matter under their consideration from the 15th to the 26th of July, resolved unanimously to recommend the Commissioners to accept our offer for the building, and nothing could be more disinterested than their conduct in setting aside the drawings and Specifications which, with much labour, they had prepared, and adopt ing others, which, though laid before them in so imper fect a state, presented to their minds, as experienced engineers and architects, the mode of constructing a building of iron and glass better fitted for the purposes of the Exhibition.—(Cheers.) On the recommendation of the Building Committee the Commissioners on the 26th of July were pleased to signify their wish for us to construct the building, bat were met by a difficulty which threatened to postpone for a year, if not to put an end, to the Exhibitien altogether. The Solicitor to the Treasury gave as his opinion that until the Commis sioners had obtained a royal charter they could not legally proceed, and were therefore not in a position to give an order to any one. These circumstances were explained to us by Lord Granville on the 26th of July, in the presence of the Comruissieners, w h o at the same time told us that it was their fixed intention to apply to Government for the charter, and that he had every rea son to believe it would be granted_ arid having informed us that as soon as they were a legally constituted body they would probahiy ecnclude a contract with Fox, Hen derson, and Co., finished by felting, whether under thee) circumstances we should consider it running too great a ri'k to enter at once upon the execution of the work, as, otherwise, many weeks would unavoidably be lost, and the chance of open ing the Exhibition on the Ist of May placed beyond possibility. In reply to his Lordship's inquiry, seeing the imperative necessity for immediate action, and desiring to render all the assistance in our power in furtherance of the important object of the Exhibition, we expressed our willingness to run the risk, whatever it might be, and without waiting for the charter com menced at once the drawings and the necessary opera tions for the erection of the building,_ (Loud cheers.) As the time for the execution of the building was so ex tremely limited, and being well aware fr,n2 experience that when matters of business bad to be decided by a committee composed of many persons much valuable time was generally wasted, we request e d t h e Commis sioners, inst ad of referring us to the Building Com mittee, to select one of its members—either the chair man, Mr. Cubitt, President of the loritution of Civil Engineers, Mr. Robert Stephenson, or Mr. Brunel— and give him absolute power to settle with us finally all matters connected with the arduous t as k we were then willing to enter upon. The Commissionere, ap preciating the importance of this request, appointed Mr. Cubitt to fill this office. It was now that I commenced the laborious work of deciding upon the proportions and strengths required in every part of this great and novel structure, so as to insure that perfect safety essen tial in a building destined to receive millions of human beings—one so entirely without precedent, and where mistakes might have led to the most serious disasters.l Having satisfied myself on these necessary points, I set to work and made every important drawing of the build ing, as it now stands, with my own band; and it was no small source of gratification to me, when asking Mr. Cubitt to look over the drawings I had prepared, to find that he not only had no desire to suggest alterations, but expressed his entire approbation of theta all. The Com , milainers baying carefully considered the merits of the placed upon each part the greVest load it could ever in , practice receive, and proceeded to show that above four , times that lord was required before fracture would cc cur. These proofs were made on the 6.h of September, when Mr. Cuhitt was pleased to state that he never wit , neesed a set of eisperimente of a more cenclusive nature Being thus satisfied by actual experiment that the pro portiotis of the various parts of the building were such as to insure perfect stability and safete , the preparations of the ironwork and other materials were pushed for ward with the greatest vigour. and large deliveries were mole in the park wiJiiri the next three weeks; so that on the 26th of September we wet e enabled to fix the first column in its piece. From this time I took the general management of the building under my charge, and spent all my time upon the works--feeling that, unless, the same person who had mode the drawings was alweys present to assign to each part as it arrived upon the ground its proper position in the structure, it would be impossible to finish the building in time to insure the opening ,41 the Ist of May; and I am confident that if any other c 'Luse had been taken, or if, as is usual in the construction of large buildings, the drawings had been prepared by an architect and the works exe cut, d by a contractor, instead of, as in the present case, these separate functions being combined by my making the drawings and then superintending the execution of the work, a building of such vast dimensions could not have been completed within a period considered by ex perienced persons as altogether inadequate for the pur pose.—(Cheers.) The erection of the building, now fairly commenced, was pushed forward with all possible speed, and a good notion of the amount of work may be obtained from the fact that at one period we fixed as much ironwork every day as would be required in a roof of extent equal to the passenger station of this town, which is one of the largest in the kingdom.—(Cheers,) It was not until the 31st of October that the contract with the Commissioners was completed, up to which time we not only had received no order for the building, and no payment on account of the work we had done, but we had run the risk of expending upwards of 50,0001. with out being in a legal position to call upon the Commis sioners for any portion of the sum we had so expended; and such was the appreciation of our conduct in this mat ter, that Lord Granville was pleased, in the presence of the other members of the Commission, to state, on the 16th November, that they were of opinion that but fer the courage evinced by Fox, Henderson, and Co., in commencing the work without any order from the Com missioners, the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations would never have taken place.—(Cheers.) Perhaps the most difficult and hazardous, and certainly the most in teresting portion of the work, was raising the sixteen ribs of the transept to their places. A month was the shortest time assigned by any one for this operation. We commenced on the 4th of December, and succeeded in raising two in the course of that day. Two more were safely deposited in their places in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the following day, and the last pair on December 12 ; so that the sixteen ribs were all placed in eight working days. As the building progressed I was assailed on all sides, not only by unprofessional persons, but by men of high scientific attainments, who, notwithstanding the careful calcula tions which had been made, and the satisfactory proofs to which all the important parts were individually sub jected, as soon as these parts were put together and pro duced a structure of unparalleled . lightness, doubted the possibility of the building possessing, as a whole, that strength which was necessary to snake it safe against the many trying influences to which it must necessarily be subjected. (Mr. Fox, having entertained the company with a very amusing resumi at all the sinister predictions and "airy prophecies" which bad been indulged in, with reference to the building. at the Institution of Civil Engineers ann elsewhere, proceeded to say):-eefefiefbie'Coneluding per mit me to pr.-sent my thanks to Mr. Barry for his hive laeble improvement in the architectural beauty of the building; to Mr. Owen Jone, for his many beautiful d - signs for trio embellishment of the building, and to who&• r.iste in decoralive art is owing that splendid appear:inc. which has charmed the eye of every spectator; t. Messrs. Cochrane and Co. and Mr. J-bs,m, for the ever eetic m•intier in which they prepared the castings; t Messrs. Dowson aid Co., fur resit promptitude in deb vering the timber; arid to Mr. John Cochrane and al. persons in our employ connecie i wiuh the work for their willing services, so indispensaide in carrying out a con tract of such unexampled magnitude.—(Cheers.) When the Royal Commissioners confided to us the construction ,f the huilding for the Exhibition of ledestry of All Na ions, I felt that in some degree the credit of England was in our hands—that we had it in our power to achieve that which would prove eminently sttccesstul. or in failing to do so would be a source of the most serious disappointment and diQgrace, and that we were therefore bound by considerations of no ordinary kind to exert ry effort in our power to carry the work to completion in the shortest possible time and at any per sonal sacrifice, and without regarding the question of expense, the more especially as his Royal Highness Prince Albert had invited the world to this great festi val on the Ist of May; and it was essential, as a point of national honour, that this vast edifice should be ready for the recep ion of his guests.—(Cheers.) I need not remind you that we completed the contracts, and that our beloved Sovereign presided at the inauguration on the day which had been originally appointed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel a peculiar pleasure in having carried out this great undertaking in the consideration that it is not a temple in which the representatives of nations will meet together for the purpose of adjust ing matters of strife or questions of warfare, but one in which the Prince has invited all the family of man to assemble in harmony and good fellowship, and where juries, composed of distinguished foreigners and Englishmen, meet together as friends, to decide upon the comparative merits of those beautiful objects of art and manufactures which aro the happy results of peaceful commercial emulation.—(Cheers.) Again thanking you for the honour you have this day conferred upon me, the recollection of which will never be effected from my memory, and also for the kind patience with which you have listened to my remarks, I conclude by wishing you the long enjoyment of health and of that happi ness and prosperity which are fast spreading over the world and which the people of Derby have ever been among the foremost to advance.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast given was the health of Mr. Paxton, which was proposed in highly complimentary terms by the Mayor. Mr. PAXTON returned thanks at some length, and in the course of his observations alluded to the unexpected risk which the Crystal Palace had run from the recent balloon ascent. Had the unfortunate aeronauts been arrested in their progress by the arched roof of the transept, they would, he feared, have met with a cutting reception. Zgreat variety of toasts followed, and the company separated, highly delighted with the opportunity afforded them of testifying their admiration for the character and the talents of their now distinguished townsman. THE WAR MEDAL BANQUET TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE Of RICHAIOND. On Saturday night, the banquet given by the war officers, subscribers to the testimonial to be presented to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, in token of the high and grate ful sense entertained by them of his Grace's un tiring and successful exertions on their behalf; to ik place at Willis's:. Rooms, King-street, St. James'o. The day was the 38ih anniversary of the battle or Vittoria. The chair was taken by Lieut.-Genus' the Right Hon L'srd Saltoun, K.C.8., G C.H.; and the vice-chair by Admiral Sir Graham Eden Hamond, Bart., K.C.B. Among the company present were the guest of the evening, his Grace the Duke of Richmond (who sat on the right of the chairman), the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Hugh Ross, Sir E. Bowater. Mr. Guthrie, Sir W. Bur nett, Sir H. Halkett, Major-General Sir J. Rolt, Sir R. Murchison, Sir W. Byam, Sir J. Wilson, Sir G. Ham mond, Colonel Allix, Sir E. Belcher, General Llewellyn, Major-General Herring, Colonel Love, Colonel Dixon, Admiral G. Falcon, Dr. Thompson, inspector of hospitals. Sir Charles Forbes, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, Major. General Gordon, Sir T. Falcon, Captain Scott, R.N., Captain Weatherley (late 60th Rifles). Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzmaurice, Captain Sweny, R.N., Captain Kincard, Rifle Brigade, &0., Sze. Most of the guests were in uniform, and wore a number of crosses and decorations, indicating the length and variety of the cervices upon which they had been en gaged. Tho character of the company generally was that of old and war-warn veterans, who had done good service "by flood and field," and the assemblage of up wards of two hundred of the most distinguish :-d naval and military warriors of the day was not the least inter esting feature of the proceedings. In the gallery were a large number of ladies, among whom we observed the Duchess of Richmond and a lair, party of fasbionables. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN said—lt is very gratifying to see the great body of veteran warriors assembled here for the purpose of doing honour to one of our cloth, because, al -1 though his Grace the Duke of Richmond —(Tremendous 1 cheering for some minutes)—has for some time left the regular service of the country, he has done us the honour of appearing here in the ordinary military uniform of the country—the militia.—(Loud cheers.) I have no hesitation in saying that his Grace is as gallant, and as good, and as straightforward a soldier as any amongst you.—(Loud cheering.) Gentlemen it fell to his eract'o lot to go out very young to tilt Peuiuoulth and tribute. At the angles of the pedestal are grouped mili tary and naval trophies, between which are panels containing the inscription, which is to be as follows: " Presented on the thirty-eighth anniversary of the battle of Vittoria to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., by the recipients of the war medal, in grateful remembrance of his long and unwearied exertions in their behalf, as a token of admiration and esteem from his humbler brethren in arms, who successfully aided in defending their highland home throughout a long and arduous war, in which they gained a series of resplen dent victories that led to the capture of Paris, Madrid, and Washington, and finally led to an honourable and lasting peace." Second, the interview of his Grace with her Majesty in relief; third and fourth, the names of the engagements in which the troops were engaged to whom medals had been given. On the base are four groups, viz., two naval, consisting of marines, sailors and boys; and two military, the first consisting of a light dragoon dismounted, light infantryman, a rifleman, a British grenadier, and a hussar mounted; the second, of a royal horse artillery man mounted, a foot artilleryman, a soldier of the line, a Highlander, and a heavy dragoon dismounted; the attitudes selected in these compositions being those of applause for the action of the Duke portrayed on the summit. Between each group are p aide, containing the arms, and the lower base is empanelled with t ,o military end two naval subjects—viz., the battles of Vittoria and ()rifles, and those of the Nile end Trafalgar, which are ptieed beneath the appropriate groups. The testimonial stands about four feet high, and will be executed in d.ad and burniahed silver, in the highly finished stl le if art for w hich the firm of hunt anu H ,akell is so di,. tingu•shed. Fne Duke of RlcamoNo rose, and was received with renewer' cheering. He said-11y Lord Saltoun, I beg to irsure you that I feel tto. tliYli ul y of the tusk which your kindness aud . that of my old companions in arms !ri the ri,v,tl and military service has imposed upon We. I am h.ii,py to say that with every arm of that service which has iwp)snd upon me the difficult task of adv. quitely returiiihg and acknowledging trio feelings of my iteart, not only for the meaner in which you have re ceived me on the lye-sent oiiea.iou, but for the tplendid awl magnificent testina•elial of your personal good a ill towards me—l am happy to say, that in early life I was acquainted wish many of those whom I now have the nuuour to see around MP, and that I always regarded them as friends and brothers.—(Great applau-e.) I trust, my Lords and Gentlemen, tnat this splendid tes timonial will descend to my children's children, and that it will be an additional reason to them to take advan cage of th' it position—to undergo the privations and fatigues -.nd to share the dangers of their fellow-sub jects.—(Cheers.) I hope and trust, too, Gentlemen, that they will not forgot the important services which the army and navy of this country have on all occasions rendered; and I hope that it will be an inducement to them to take care that the heroic deeds of times of war are not to be laid aside and forgotten in periods of peace. Gentleman, my humble services in obtaining your just claims have been, by my Noble Friend, somewhat overrated.—(Cries of " No, no.") Gentlemen, you well know the kind and feeling heart of our most gracious Sovereign Lady the Queen.—(Tre mendous cheering.) I am aware of the deep anxiety which her Majesty, from the period of her accession up to the present moment, had evinced in doing justice and in promoting the happiness of all classes of her subjects. —(lienewed cheering.) Gentlemen, I felt certain that it was impossible but that a Queen of England would feel a deep debt of gratitude to those brave and heroic men, who, devoting themselves to the profession of arms, both by sea and laud, have promoted the peace which has so long continued, and maintained her Ma • jesty's illustrious family, and herself on the throne of these her realms, and have gained forher, too, the proud) appellation of the Queen of the Seas.—(Much cheering.) They have placed the empire of England in the first rank of the ruling nations of the world. It was for these reasons that I felt that if an appeal was really and honestly made to the throne, and if her Majesty had ad visers worthy to be the advisers of the Crown, that ap peal could not be refused.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I feel deeply grateful to my Lord John Russell and his colleagues for having, after a former Administration had refused it, recommended to her Majesty to grant the just request of the memorial which I had the honour to present.—(Loud cheers.) Politically opposed as I am to Lord John Russell and the present Cabinet, I must say to the old war officers here present, that I never saw any individual more anxious than he was that your just claims should bo carried out.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, don't for a moment suppose that there is the slightest spark cf ingratitude in anything I am about to say; but I am about to tell you, my old brother officers of the two services, the feelings of my heart on the present occasion.—(Hear.) I deeply regret that this measure was not extended mu ch further than it ha! the officers I never could underst and the reason why a officers of her Majesty's navy , who in single r ship action in capturing privateers at the hazard of their Ives — in defending our convoy s, or in their heroic and hazard ous achievements of cutting out vessels in bosh, from the muzzles of well-traintd and well-manned guns in a chivalry and heroism , permit me batteries, displaying to say, which few but British seamen could ever be found even eNleavouring to attempt—l never co u ld un derstand ~why these brave men, and the gallant Spill the officers, non-commissioned officers, and p,iy a , as, in every part of the world maintain thin glory o f • r arms, should be debarred from participating i n tho wards they had Co justly earned. I a s k, why should any difference be msde beteeen the ath 'tiled and the rear guards, between skirmishes usually precreing our greatest victories, when many were struck down by the bullets of the enemy and carried to tee general hospital in the rear, and thereby prevented from sharing a few days afterwards in the glories o f the general battle—l ask why should they not bear on their breasts the proof that they had been in personal conflict with the enemy, and cleared the way for their more fortunate fellows, thereby doing good service to their Sovereign and their country?—(Cheers.) I have made these remarks at the hazard of trespassing too long upon you, because I feel that you will think the li g ht infantry soldi er s h ould be very quick in his movemener. —(Great laughter.) Nevertheless I do deeply regret, gentlemen, that it did not happen that these medals were given some fifteen or twenty years since.—(Hear, hear.) There is not a single individual whom I have now the honour of addressing, who cannot call to his mind some of the best and bravest men of all grades in the two pm feiaions, who DOW lie cold in their graves, hastenec, perhaps, by privations, and their hearts not gladdened by wearing the testimo nial, to which they were entitled, of their Sovereign's approbation and their country's gra titude.--(Loud cheers.) The services which upon the present , occasion you represent have p l a c e d i n every clime in which it has been your destiny to serve, both by sea and land, lasting memorials to the honour, and gl or y, and renown of the British, arms, which probably ; have never been exceeded.—(Great tapplause.) You have de fended the standard of England at all hazards, and have left it to your succassors untarnished by the slightest s tain.

The day was exceedingly warm, and the heat was in deed extreme—the thermometer having been, early the morning, 84 in the shade. It may be attributed ea this cause, and to its being cooler out of doors than ig to that the arrivals were comparatively limited, and l'aat the departures were rather early. The entire number of visitors did not much exceed twelve or thirteen thou sand, and by five o'clock they were leaving rapidly, and arrivals had almost ceased. Saturday is of course more a season ti ket day than any other, and those who pay 54. for the pleasure of having a quiet and uninterrupted Enjoyment of the Exhibition arrive early. There were a great many persons assembled at the doors before the hour of opening, and a large number of invalids in B.sth chairs hid (as usual) bowl admitted before that time.

A ..RU AWAY BANKWOrT.—On &Jura4y a warrant WAS issued by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, and placed int h hands of Mr. Bri , ht. the m essenger, for the apprehension of a bankrupt named Martin, late of Lewes, Sussex, draper. It appears Martin carried on business in the High-street, Lowei. and so far Lick as December last established A. shop at. Jersey. His practice was to obtain large parcels of goods from the London warehouses on credit, and as soon as they came into his possession at Lewes he sent them in a coil tr from Shoreham to Jersey, where they were disposed of by forced sales. Property to the extent of 3.000/. was thus got rid of, and about 700/. more removed from Lewes to , the Old Ship, Brighton, before the bankrupt decamped. The evi deuce shows that he went to the last Derby, whe re n o t b e ing unknown he made heavy bets, which he lost, and the next day proceeded to Liverpool and sailed for America at the Pacific, Tlie property at Bright has been seized.

A storm of thunder, not of long continuance, but of great violence while it lasted, broke over Manchester and the neighbourhood on Saturday evening about eight o'clock. Ihe day was exceed ingly close and sultry throughout, but was quite free from rain, with the exception of one shower, until half-past seven o'clock, when heavy clouds rose from the south-west horizon, and thunder began td mutter in that direction. For some time lightning flickered in the sky without any thunder or rain, but at about ten minutes past eight the latter began to descend in torrents, driven by a fierce wind which rose sud denly, until it assumed the character of a thick rising mist or a light sheet of water, and the lightning spread itself over the whole concave above, so that it was no stretch of the imagination to believe that there was a huge conflagration in the vicinity. The thunder was not particularly loud, but it was continuous (more so than the lightning, though it scarcely intermitted its flashes), and combining its roll with the noise of the wind and the falling rain, for a lull quarter of an hour there was one unbroken and terrible sound. This eh mental warfare continued to rage with terrific violence for nearly half an hoer, when it gradually cleared away. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mills discount, according to the new• tariff, which, at the English Mint price of Si. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 01 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at it f o ll ows th a t go ld i s 0.06 per cent. than in London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 114 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 . 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in e present rate - favour of E ng l an d ; and a f ter ma ki ng a ll ow ance for differ ence of int erest and charges of transport, the leaves a ;profit on the importation of gold from the United Staten.

It so happened in those days that the Duke of 1 Wellington objected to officers receiving brevet rank until they had joined thrir regiments. The consequence was, that the Duke of Richmond at once joined his regi ment—the 52d. He threw up all the advantages of staff service, which we fellows know are very great (Roars of laughter)—and took his part as captain of the 52d.—(Loud cries of " Bravo.") In the battle of Orthes, I regret to say, he received so severe a wound that he suff-o.ed from it for some time, but it did not stop his gallant career, because I had the honour to see him come into my quarters at Hougnumont at the battle of Water loo, and no man has cone through more brilliant ser vices, which I might dilate upon, it we were not met for m to eri t, which and n d w g a u n o ta much s another purpose; but I may say that every one hailed him as a fellow soldier and a gallant brother in nose for which t„ nl m n ( a:t e e h r i e n m r d e:. arms.— (Cheers.)

I Lave Low, said the MAAR' Chairman (turning to the Duke of Richmond), the greatest satisfaction in presenting to your Grace this testimonial of the affectionate esteem and respect of your fellow-soldiers.—(Enthusiastic cheering for ,some minutes.) The testimonial, which is as yet unfinished, some of the figures in relief being at present represented by plaster models, was then displayed. It was placed on &triangular pedestal of ebony in a recess behind the chairman. The whole is to be completed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, in solid silver, the value of the plata being somewhere about 1,500 guineas. An apology was made by the firm for presenting it in an incomplete state, but we understand that it will be completed by the 4th of August. The following is th© description of the testimonial:— O❑ the summit of a quadrangular pedestal is an allego rical group, representing his Grace the Duke of Rich mond directing the attention of Britannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. His Grace is repre sented in the centre, in the costume of a peer of the realm, and has in his left hand the memorial to her Majesty, while with his right he directs the attention of Britannia to the figures of Mars and Neptune, the repre sentatives of military and naval prowess, and in the hand of Britannia is the war medal which she is about to dis- 4. 4 /- • ' - • p inns. —(Tremendous cheering.) Your successors on board men•of-war will, I have no doubt, emulate the brave deeds of your predecessors, and they will in dan lr's hour remember that they have tho honour of de _ling that flag under which Nelson and your great naval heroes so invariably triumphed ;.and I - hope the soldiers will never forget that to their charge i 3 confided those colours under which a Wellington, an Abercrom bie, and a Moore so constantly led the way to victory. —(Loud cheers.) In the name of the recipients of the war medal, and on my own behalf, I can only say that I feel deeply grateful to her Majesty for the favour we have all receited,—(Great applause.) I feel proud, gentlenieu, in wearing this medal, because it enables man to address you as ono of your old comrades.—(Applause.) I will not detaiu you further than to say that I beg yon to receive the most heartfelt acknowledgments of a grateful heart, and the best thanks of an old veteran soliier.—(Loud cheers.) Several other toasts were then given, and the meeting adjourned. THE CieREA.T EXHIBITION.
