The visit of the market women and mechanics of Paris to the President of France the day after he laid the foundation stone of the market was one of the most remarkable episodes in Louis Napoleon's life, so far as it has yet progressed. There numerous classes were, by all accounts, admirably dressed. They did great credit to their humble calling, but the climax was the deputing of the youngest and fairest of their body, by the female portion, to sa lute the Presi dent in the name of the whole, and the grateful reception of the blshine girl by the, gallant Louis Napoleon. How many of the ladles'd shawls and cloaks, and how many of the mechanics' dregses, were had of E. MOSES and SON, can only be conjectured. the papers concur in the tact that the whole were well dressed, All from wih it may be assumed that a great many had taken advantage of th h ei c r trip to London, a nd purchased at the Monarch Mart, where at this moment, notwithstanding the great daily demand, the reple nished stock exceeds in quantity, variety, neatness, elegance, novelty, workmanshlp, and quality of material, the clothing of any other concern in the known world ; the variety of outer coats exceeds belief, and all the winter wants are anticipated by a supply of every thing that the approaching season requires.

MOSES and SON earnestly invite the public to inspect their stock at the Monarch Mart, or at their noble West-End Establishment in New Oxford street, for no description can do justice to the subject.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, HAMILTON-PLACE, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. The Principles of the HTGEIAN or MORISONIAN THEORY Arc contained in the following Prodositions 1. The vital , ?riaciple is In the bleed. 2. Every till] ig in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. 5. Pain and disease have the same origin, and may, therefore, be considered synonymous. 6. From the intimate connexion subsisting - between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper puergation by vegetables is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. S. The disse'rery of a VEGETABLE COMPOUND, capable of being digested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it the energy requisite for ridding the body of all impurities, was a desi deratum. 9. This discovery was made by JAMES 11foalsoN, the Tlygeist, in the composition of the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE (MO- ItISON'S PILLS), of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, London.

G.C.M.G., who has been appointed to succeed Admiral the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, K.C.8., as commander-in chief at Portsmouth, has served on full pay no less than 43 years-with the exception of Rear-Admiral Owen, perhaps more than any other flag-officer in the navy. With Captain George Bohun Martin, C. 8., his son-in-law,t and Flag Lieut. Pasley, his relative, the gallant admiral, was expected to arrive at Ports mouth last evening to take office this morning, when the flag of Admiral Capel, red at the main, will be struck, and that of Sir Thomas Briggs, blue at the main, hoisted. Sir Thomas Briggs, born in 1780, is only surviving son of the late Stephen Briggs, Esq., formerly chief surgeon at Madras, by Magdalena, youngest daughter of the late James Pasley Esq., of Craig, county Dumfries, nephew,. maternally, of the late Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., Admiral of the White, who died Nov. 29. 1808 ; and first cousin of the present Sir T. S. Pasley, Bart , captain R.N., and of the late Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, Kt. This officer entered the navy September 10, 1791, as first class volunteer on board the Bellerophon, 78, commanded by his uncle, Captain Thomas Pasley, whom he soon afterwards accompanied as midshipman into the Vengeance, 74, lying in the river Medway. We next find him, from April, 1793, until the year 1798, attached under Captain Charles Tyler to the Meleager, 32, Diadem, 64, and L'Aigle frigate, and participating during that period in the operations against Toulon and Corsica is 1793-4, and in Hotham's partial actions of March 14 and July 13, 1795. From L'Aigle Mr. Briggs, who had been confirmed in the rank of lieutenant September 28, 1797, removed to the Ville de Paris, 110, flag-ship off Lisbon of Earl St. Vincent, and he shortly afterwards joined the Princess Royal, 98, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Thomas Lennox Frederick off Cadiz. Assuming the acting command July 10, 1799, of the Salarniue, 16, to which sloop he was officially appointed June 30, 1800, Captain Briggs assisted at the reduction of Genoa; took, January 21, 1801, in company with the Caroline, 36, a xebec, laden with arms, and mounting 4 guns, with a crew of 24 men ; and in March following was sent by Captain Manley Dixon, of the Genereux, 74, then at Port Mahon, to Rear- Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren off Toulon with the intelligence of M. Ganteaume having sailed from the latter place with troops for Egypt, in consequence of which the French Admiral was pursued and in duced to put back. While next engaged in the ex pedition under Lord Keith and Sir Ralph Abercromby, for his services during which he obtained the Turkish gold medal and the order of the Cresent, Captain Briggs was promoted to post-rank by commission dated July 24, in the same year. his succeeding ap pointments afloat were, in August following to the Madras, 54, flag-ship of Sir Richard Bickerton, off Alexandria-in 1802 to the Agincourt, 64, on the Mediterranean and home stations-December 14, 1805, to the Orpheus, 32, in which he captured, September 25 and November 12, 1806, the privateers Guadeloupe, of 3 guns and 54 men, and Susanna, of 4 guns and 20 men, and was subsequently wrecked on n e t w h e a s c o r r e a s l e r e e e e dreef,effthe Jamaica, bowspritJ ayu a r ef 2h3i s s l h B i o, p 7 b wheny the a I b B o o a 8 t belong ingtethe to the 'Elephant, 74-April 27, , present Lieutenant Henry BeiseY in temporary command of the Theseus, 74, off L'Orient -November 7, in the same year, to the Clorinde, 38, on the East India station, where he took, January 28, 1810, L'Henri privateer of 8 guns and 57 men, proved of material service in disembarking the troops at the reduction of the Isle of France in December, 1810, and was next em ployed in the China Sea-in October, 1814, to the Leviathan, 74, which ship, after serving on the Lisbon; Cork, and Mediterranean stations, was paid off July 19, 1816-and May 15, 1818, to the Queen Charlotte, 100, as flag captain at Portsmouth to Sir Geo. Camp bell, with whom he continued until February, 1821. In 1823 Captain Briggs was nominated resident commissioner of the navy at Bermuda. He removed to Malta in 1829 ; attained the rank of Rear-Admiral June 27, 1832 ; was appointed about the same period superintendent of Malta dockyard, where he remained until 1838 ; received the G.C.M.G. in 1833 for his services in the temporary command of the Mediter ranean squadron ; and was made a Vice-Admiral Nov. 23, 1841. Sir Thomas Briggs married, in 1814, Isabella Harriet, daughter of General Trepand. Sir Bladen Capel went on board the Victory and mustered the ship's company yesterday for the last time. He was received on board by Captain Black wood and the officers, with manned yards. The departure of Mr. Secretary Haig (whose suavity of disposition, thorough knowledge of busi ness, and conciliating manner have gained him the esteem and regard of all officers and gentlemen that have come in contact with him, both those residing inside and outside the dockyard walls) will be much regretted. He has served the office of secretary to three consecutive commanders-in-chief,-viz., Sir C. Rowley, Sir Charles Ogle, and Sir Bladen Capel. Mr. Haig will be succeeded to-day by Mr. Triphook. THE ADMIRALTY.-Sir F. T. Baring, Bart., Rear-Admiral Berkeley, iC.B,, Rear-Admiral Ho niton :Stewart, C. 8., Captain Milne, Sir Baldwin W.

On Friday the mode of distributing the tickets of invitation to the Town-hall, which has hitherto been a subject of much discussion, came again under consi • - deration. The arrangement agreed to was that each councillor be supplied with ten ball tickets for his family and private friends; that 1,490 tickets be ap portioned to the sixteen wards, in reference to the number of voters in each ; that 250 tickets be left at the disposal of the Mayor, and 120 to members of the dock committee. The members for each ward are to meet and send in as many names in the ward as there are tickets; but if any one of these names is objec tionable it is to be rejected, end the ticket otherwise disposed of. The list is as follows :—Everton, 111 ; Scotland, 100; Vauxhall, 51; St. Paul's, 69; Ex change, 110 ; Castle-street, 130; St. Peter's, 100 ; Pitt-street, 67; Great George, 70; Rodney, 132 ; AlArcromby, 109; Lime-street, 109 ; St. Anne street, 61 ; West Derby, 86 • South Tox teth, 73 ; North Toxt e th, 112 ; Dock Committee, 120 • Councilldrs G4O ; Mayor, 250 ; total, 2,509. Platforms for the accommodation of the public will be erected on the pierheads of the Prince's, King's, and Albert docks. In order to prevent accidents, brick supports for the stages are now in the course of construction. It appears that only about 8,000 children can be accommodated in the enclosure at St. George's Hall, and it has been proposed to erect a platform for the remainder of the charity-school children near to Newsham-house. The shopkeepers of Bold-street have formed them selves into a committee for the purpose of making ar rangements on an extensive scale. They have decided upon erecting triumphal arches at the top and bottom of the street. A London paper says—" On the requisition of the local authorities, the Admiralty have ordered a quan tity of the Government flags at Woolwich to be lent to the corporation of Liverpool, and to be sent to the dock secretary's office for the purpose of decoration, on her Mijesty's visit to this mighty and enterprising port." '. i A contemporary says—" The Queen, on her pro gress southward to Liverpool, is ooming, not on the Last Lancashire Railway, as was supposed, but on the London and North-Western line. Last week the Earl of Derby gave notice to his tenantry that her Majesty, on her way to this town, would leave the train at Reinhill, and enter Knowsley-park at the Eccleston-gate ; that she would then pass on through the grounds, and see the avairy, which will be kept in its present state, notwithstanding that the sale will commence two days previously, till after the royal visit. The tenautry and others belonging to the estate sere to be entertained at a public dinner. Since then the railway authorities have represented to her Ma jesty that, as they were making alterations at Rain hill, they would recommend that she should alight at Edgehill, or come into the Lime-street station, prior to proceeding to Croxteth. Her Majesty, it appears, however, is particular anxious to alight at Rainhill, as she wants to pass through Knowsley-park ; and the railway directors will, doubtless, make arrangements accordant wi;le her desire. The Queen and the Royal party, it is understood, will be joined at the Park-gate junction by Lord and Lady Elles mere, who with the Earl of Derby and his Countess, are to be the guests of Lord Sefton that evening. As the commissioners of Birkenhead cannot address the Queen, they are resolved to gratify their friends by giving them a chance of seeing her Majesty; and they have determined to send out two of their finest boats, the Lord Morpeth, and either the Queen or the Wirral, for that purpose, About 600 will thus be accommodated ; and no doubt the parade at Wood side and all accessible places on that side will be crowded." The royal yacht tender the Fairy, Master Com mander Welsh, sailed at ten o'clock on Saturday morning for Liverpool, in order to be in readiness to receive her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal children on the 9th proximo. The Fairy sailed thus early to make sure of rounding the Land's-end with fine weather, and reached Holyhead yesterday at two o'clock. She may be expected to reach the Mersey to-night. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, was to follow the Fairy to Liverpool yesterday (Monday). After the depar ture of the Court both yachts will return to Ports mouth. The contract for the street barricades has been taken by Messrs. A. and G. Holme, who undertake to execute the work at ls. a yard, the wood to be re turned when done with. Messrs. Thomson. Bigham, and Woodruff, coun cillors for Scotland ward, met their constituents on Friday evening last, and handed over to them the whole of the tickets which had been allotted to them for the occasion of the Queen's visit. This course appeared to give great satisfaction to the burgesses, who returned a number of the tickets for the private use of their representatives, and appointed a com mittee of nine to distribute the remainder amongst the electors of the ward. • The erection of a triumphal arch at the boundary of the borough, near Newsham-house, was agreed upon on Saturday last by the committee of the council, their being only four dissentients. The arch is to be sixty feet high, and will cost about 2501. Mr. Newlands, our excellent borough engineer, is the designer. The pensioners of this district, under the command of Captain Greig, are to assemble for autumn drill on the Bth October. On the following day—that of her Majesty's visit—they are to be at the disposal of the Mayor, so as to contribute in the most effective manner to the demonstration. On this occasion, too, the fine band of these companies will be brought into requisition. LOWBOROUGH HILL, THE HIGHEST SPOT IN BERKS. —lt may not be generally known that the highest ground in Berkshire is a hill four miles east of Ilsley ; in the inte resting work, published by Mr. William "'mitt, a few years since, on the antiquities of Compton, we find the following particulars :—" The panoramic view from this bleak but delightful spot, which rises 830 feet above the level of the sea, is extensive and highly diversified ; the view being bounded on the east by the Chilterns of Oxford shire and Bucks, and on the south by the Hampshire Hills. Among other objects too numerous to particularise, Farring donbe distinctly seen.

The Ridgeway passes within a few hundred yards of this hill, and the corner of Unhill Wood is a fine circular barrow surrounded by a fosse." DETERMINED ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..—.On MOW. dly night, a well-dressed man, named William Robinson, who had come up from Manchester to see the Exhibition, attempted to terminate his existence at the Hop Poles, Edgware-road, by cutting his threat with a penknife, and stabbing himself with the same instrument on t he body , He was conveyed on a stretcher to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, bleeding profusely from his wounds, and his recovery is extremely doubtful.

DR. JOUN RAE'S SEARCH FOR KR JOHN FRANKLIN. The New York Albion of a recent following interesting communication whose zealous laboufea-iiesee.laeekt ovelarm asEffliise ifiEel'arnil late to 'the putht C : " Fort Confidence, north-east end of Great Bear Lake, Oct. 14, 1850. " Sir,—The protracted absence of the excellent Sir John Franklin and his gallant companions has excited so much interest and anxiety in the public mind, not only in England, but in all civilized com munities, that I offer no apology for troubling you with the present communication, which, however un important in its e lf, ma y b e bought worthy of a corner in your valuable paper, in consequence of the subject on which it treats, although I most sincerely hope that, long ere this reaches you, news may be received that some of the well-equipped sea expedi tions to the Arctic coast during the past summer has effectually relieved the long-suffering explorers. " In addition to the several ship expeditions sent from England and the United States last season, to search the Arctic shores, it was the intention of the eludsou's Bay Company that two or more boat par ties, formed from the officers and servants in this portion of their territories, should descend the Mackenzie River, and trace the coast east and west from its mouth, ay far as practicable. " Being in charge of the Mackenzie River district, I received instructions to the above effect from Sir George Simpson (the able and enterprising terri torial governor) in the latter part of last June, when oft the annual voyage to Portage La Loche or Mithy Portage, with the furs, &c., obtained in the winter. At the same time Commander Pollen (who had come with a party of twelve men from her Majesty's ship Plover to the Mackenzie, in autumn, 1849), being in company, on his way to England, via York factory, received orders from the Admiralty to return to the Arctic coast, and proceeded along shore eastward as far as Cape Bathurst, and thence strike out to sea direct for Benks's Land. Unfortunately, from unavoidable circumstances, the stock of provi sions available at Fort Simpson and other stations in the district was so small that only one party could be sufficiently victualled; of course, precedence was given to Commander Pullen, and he immediately changed his course towards the north. By the same conveyance I learned that Sir G. Simpson had, with his usual perspicuity, ordered two boats leaded with pemi can and flour to be forwarded from Red River colony by the first open water in the spring, and these I hoped would reach it to some extent westward. But in this I was disappointed, for, although we travelled with as much rapidity as possible from the portage, where he met the boats, we did not arrive at Fort Simpson until the 16th of August, a date much too late to at tempt what was intended to be done, as it would be the 20th or 25th of the month before we could reach the sea. Under these circumstances it was difficult to decidd how the men and provisions at my disposal could be employed to most advantage. " It being the belief of those on whose judgment most reliance can be placed that the missing vessels are shut up somewhere between the longitude of 103 deg. and 115 dog. west, and latitude 71 deg. north, it is evident that the most direct route thither from the southward is the Coppermine River, and that is the route I intend to follow next summer, if I receive no intelligence that the searching parties of this season have been suc cess f u l. T o carry ou t m y in tentions I started f rom F ort Si mpson w i t h two b oa t s , Mr. H. M'Ken z i e ( an ass i stant) and 14 men, on the 23d of August ; o w i ng t o the head w i nds and stormy weather on this l a r ge l a k e I d i d not arrive here unt il the 10th ult. This is to be our winter quarters, and fortunately the houses were in as good condition as when I left them last autumn, requiring nothing but doors, windows, and a coat of mud to make them habitable. As we could not expect a long continuance of fine weather, no time was lost in establishing fisheries, and procuring venizon from the natives, so as to lay up a winter stock, in which we have been more successful than I at one time anticipated, having already on hand about two months' provisions for all our party. amounting to 18 persons and 13 dogs. " What I feared would be the most difficult matter to accomplish was th e building of two boats li g ht enough to be tra ns p orted across the Copperm i ne, as it was very gen era ll y thought that the wood in this b th o a a t rds hiss sufficiently yer good hadmu chhis inamfinding to happy to say t h at have succeeded much better than was anti c ip ate d , one of the boats being alrea d y more than half fi n i s h e d , and boards enough sawn to complete both. Th ey are to be twenty-two feet keel, with be six feet six i nc h es b eam, and two feet three inches we deep midship s , exc l usive of keel, and each rigged lug-sails. , t,hlttw maysupposed by many tbat.to continue the search for Sir John Franklin beyond - the summer of 1850, if not then found, would be 11 useless waste of time, labour, and money ; but with this supposi tion I cannot agree, and my opinion is founded on a personal experience which few persons have had anacquiring, an d w hi c h lead s me to part or all of Sir J o hn's party opportunity bele ve tha t a of may still exist in 1851. In 1846-7 I wintered at Repulse Bay with a party of 12 men, only two of whom, before arriving there, had ever practised deer shooting, and two others were fishermen. We had little or no fuel that could be properly so called, the mud with which our stone-house was plastered never dried but only froze, and it was so cold inside that a man, one night, got his knee frostbitten, although he had one of his companions under the blankets with him. Yet, we suffered no privation as regarded food, except that during the shortest days we took only one meal per diem as a precautionary measure, not knowing how late it might be in the spring before the reindeer migrated northward. " That we were not much the worse for our expo sure to cold and low diet may be inferred from the fact that, in the spring, we traced about 500 miles of new coast, forming the shores of Committee Bay, in doing which I and one of my men travelled on foot upwards of 1,000 miles, and were, on our return (al though rather low in fle sh ) , as sound and well as when we started. "When Wh en le aving York factory in J une , 184 6 , we had not more than four months' provisions with us ; when we returned to that place, after an absence of 14 months and 23 days, we still had a third of our original stock of provisions on hand, showing that we had by our own exertions, in a country pre viously totally unknown to us, obtained the means of subsistence for 12 months. Why may not Sir J. Franklin's party do the same ? If he has been pro videntially thrown on or near a part of the coast where reindeer and fish are at all numerous, surely out of so many officers and men sportsmen may be found, after some practice, expert enough to shoot the former, and fishermen to seize or net the latter, or take them with hook and line set under the ice ? this letter it w as my o bj ec t t o outline as p oss ibl e o f my con tgeimv"epWlyaotheuedn a o ls p e bb r re a ige t i fa o na n n s , but I have digressed sadly, and must now endeavour to return to the subject. In the spring, should our stock of provisions admit of it, I purpose proceeding, with a couple of compa nions and a sledge of three dogs, in the beginning march to the nor th war d, of May, 15 or 20 daYs' be tween Victoria and Wollaston Lands, during which trip I hope to travel 500 or 600 miles (i. e., 250 or 300 miles out and the same distance homeward), should we meet with no very serious obstacle. In the meantime, provisions for the summer's voyage will be hauled on sledges and deposited at the Kendall River to which place the boats are to be brought over as soon as the Dease River breaks up, which may be about the 6th or 7th of June, when I shall be L te givo the liti-Xi.r. Rae, at the Kendall to meet them,:andJ?repared to descend. tJe Coppermine as soon as it. becomes clear of ice. The direction to be afterwards f)llOwed will . depend much upon the state of the sea ice and the appear ance and trending of the lands that I had visited in my previous journey. • • ' .

Mr. Sheriff S WIFT proposed " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," and took occasion to refer to the general amiability of disposition manifested by the Prince Consort, and to the additional claim which he had upon the love and gratitude of the country on account of the Great Exhibition of the present year. The toast was drunk with marked tokens of respect. Then followed " The Army and Navy," proposed by Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, Major HAMILTON re turning thanks for the army, and Captain IlenE for the navy. The health of the Lord Mayor was next proposed b 7 Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, who spoke in laudatory terms of the manner in which his Lordship had dis charged the duties of his office in entertaining distin guished strangers, and in particular of the excellent conduct he had displayed on the great occasion of her Majesty's visit to the City. The Lord Mayor had received at her Majesty's hands very distinguished honours, and he trusted he would long live to enjoy them. The toast was then drunk with the usual honours. Mr. Sheriff Swirr proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor elect," after a few sentences highly eulogistic of his services in behalf of the city of London. The LORD MAYOR elect, in returning thanks, said the citizens of London had placed him in a posi tion which he felt himself totally incompetent to fill, at least in an efficient manner. He knew, however, that he would have the sympathies not only of every gentleman in that room, but of the whole of that vast City, with which he had been con nected for more than a quarter of a century ; and after having filled the various offices in the corporation which usually preceded the Mayoralty, he thought it was his duty to accept the higher office too when it was offered to him by his fellow citizens. He hoped he should not fail faithfully to perform the duties of the office he had undertaken—duties, he would say, 1 which were intimately connected, not only with the interests of the city of London, but of the country at large.—(Cheers.) It was not necessary to say more, though it would not be difficult to show that the cor poration had ever been actuated by a desire to pro mote the best interests of their fellow-citizens in every part of the vast metropolis as throughout the coun try.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that at the end of his year of office he would be able to say that he had done nothing to disgrace either himself or those who had done him the honour to appoint him to that high station.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL proposed " the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Talfourd, and the other Learned Judges." The toast was drunk with great respect. The LORD CHIEF BARON returned thanks in his own name and in that of the other learned judges. They deeply felt the honour that had been done them, as they believed that the cordial approval, the honest suffrage of their fellow-citizens in their behalf was one of the best rewards they could receive for their public services. —(Hear.) He personally felt great pleasure in coming among them on the present occa sion. The city of London was closely connected with the history of the liberties of this country. Those liberties had been protected on various occasions by the spirit, the independence, and the courage of the citizens of London, and the predecessors of the great officers whose inauguration they that day celebrated had been found in the ranks 'of those who fought the great battles that had seoured to this country those social advantages we now enjoyed.—(Cheers.) He thought they could not too much respect the ancient privileges and customs of the city of London. In the language of one of their own magistrates, he would say that he felt great pleasure i❑ " doing suit and service" to the city of London by being present at the inauguration dinner of their sheriffs—(A. laugh)— and in order to prove to them the interest he took in it, be hoped he should be allowed,to propose as a toast the healths of the two gentlemen whose inauguration they were now celebrating.—(Hear.) The Lord Chief Baron, after a few complimentary sentences, then proposed " The health of the Sheriffs." Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL and Mr. Sheriff SWIFT re spectively returned thanks. Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL next proposed " The Ma gistrates of London," coupled with the name of Al derman Kelly. Mr. Alderman KELLY, in returning thanks, said he had been 21 years an Alderman and 60 years a citizen of London, and was proud to say he bad always been associated in the Corporation with gen tlemen of independent character who had the best interests of their fellow-citizens at heart.—(Hear, hear.) Though there had been observations thrown out against them in some quarters, they must never look at these sarcasms, but go forward doing their duty and promoting to the utmost of their power the peace and prosperity of their country. Mr. Sheriff SWIFT proposed " The health of the Cursitor Baron," which was drunk with loud applause. The CURSITOR BARON returned thanks. He felt it an honour to be associated with the magistrates of London on any occasion. He had that day fulfilled an annual duty of declaring on the part of the So vereign her full confidence in the choice which the citizens of London had been pleased to make of she riffs, and he hoped it would be his fortune often to meet them in future as he had met them that day.— (Hear, hear.) The magistrates of the city of London had long been enabled to discharge their high duties for the public good, sometimes with comparative little necessity for attracting public notice, but at other times, as the Lord Chief Baron had reminded them, on occasions when great activity had been required, they had often stood first and foremost amidst the brave, the great, and the noble of the land, to defend the rights of all, even of the bumblest.—(Hear.) He knew not whether it would be his fortune in future years to see London as it had hitherto been, but he trusted be should, as, for his part, he was satisfied with London as it bad been.—(Hear.) If there was a necessity for some extension, and for the admission of others who might, perhaps, not unnaturally feel a spirit of emulation—he would not call it envy—which sometimes was said to lurk in places where those of less activity were to be found, who had not striven for the high seats of honour that might have been within their grasp—if there was to be an extension, then he would suggest that if that extension was to be merely to St. Pancras or Marylebone, or Paddington, they would be likely to find that the people of Chelsea, Hammersmith, Brentford, and other parts were greatly offended at their exclusion.—(Hear, hear.) He was not envious of their privileges. Had he turned his attention that way in early life, he might now have had a seat at their table, for it was open to all, but 1 his course had been a different one. He was happy to be their guest, and he trusted that they would maintain their privileges as their predecessors had done, because he believed the welfare of the country , was very much involved in the prosperity and inde pendence of this great metropolitan City.—(Cheers.) Mr. Justice TALFOURD proposed the health of Lord Erskine, and in deing so paid a tribute to the merit of his distinguished father. The name of Erskine was identified with English law; his eloquence would be coeval with the English language ; and the family name, so well represented by the Noble Lord, would adorn, he trusted, the British peerage as long as that peerage lasted, which he hoped would be as long as this country endured.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the usual honours, and Lord ERSKINE briefly replied. At a very humble distance, be felt all that interest towards the city of [PRICE - SD. London that he know his father felt during a long life. The healths of the late Sheriffs, Sir R. Carden and Sir ;George C. llodgkinson, were next proposed,. fol lowed by. the Masters and Wardens of the Spectacle and! Cordwainers' Companies, the Under sheriffs, &c., andiat an advanced hour of the evening the company sep , trated. During the evening some excellent songs, glees, &c., were sung, under the direction of Mr. Genge. Mr. ILlrker acted as toastmaster with his usual effect. . 111EL ANCHOLYSUICIDE.- . • A painful sensation w created yesterday forenoon in ttle Scook Exchange by the shockiig derith'saf Mr. li.gle Rudge, a stockbroker, who committed suicide nt the counting-house of Mr. Routh, also a member of the • Stock Exchange, in Throgrnorton-street. ,Late last. evening Mr. W.

I have had the means of death in my possession now more than two weeks." (The letter then entered into some business transactions, showing the state of his affairs, and which it is unnecessary to give. It concluded by imploring his friends not to forget his little ones, and wishing them good bye.) It was signed "Ingle Ruclge." Mr. Sewell, surgeon, of Fenchurch-street, and other gentlemen who were acquainted with the deceased, spoke of his disordered state of mind, from which it would seem that he laboured under the im pression that he never would be able to do any good tor himself and family, and that he would always be unfortunate. Yesterday being settling day at the Stock Exchange, he found him se lf no t i n a pos i tion to meet certai n demands, his account at his banker's being considerably short of the sum required, but which could have been readily averted by application to the committee. He was seen on 'Change about ten o'clock, and it is presumed that the dread of meeting his difficulties induced him to commit the melancholy act. After some remarks, the jury re turned a verdict of temporary insanity. The liabili ties of the deceased, we are informed, will not exceed 5001. lle has left a widow and two children. TEE COUNTY COURT JUDGE OF LIVER POOL AND 111 R. ill. J. TVHITTY. LIVERPOOL, TEIESDAY.—We mentioned, yester day, the leading facts in the extraordinary proceedings of the judge of the County Court, Mr. Ramshay, against Mr. M. J. Whitty, proprietor and editor of the Liverpool Journal. A placard, it will be recol lected, announcing the contents of the Liverpool Journal, was on Saturday last posted, amongst other places, near the entrance to the County Court, and it contained the line, "Mr. Ramshay's opinion of the people of Liverpool." This line gave offence to Mr. Ramshay, the judge of that court. Immediately after the judge took his seat in the court, a bill poster was brought before him in the custody of a bailiff, but as none of the offensive placards were found in the wallet of the poster he was discharged. Two bailiffs were then dispatched to the Journal office to obtain the attendance of Mr. Whitty at the County Court. Mr. Whitty declined to attend unless a summons or warrant was produced. The bailiffs left the office, but shortly afterwards returned, and at tempted, still without presenting any authority, to arrest Mr. Whitty. Resistance was offered, and the editor made his escape into the cellar, and con trived to get clear off. Yesterday, a summons having been issued, Mr. Whitty appeared at the County Court, and after the case bad been heard the judge decided that the line in the bill was calculated to bring the court into contempt, fined the defendant Si., and in default of payment ordered him to be imprisoned for seven days in Lancaster Castle. The judge also decided that the defendant had been guilty of con tempt in consequence of the manner in which he had addressed the officers of the court, and for this offence he ordered seven days' imprisonment. Again, the judge decided that Mr. Whitty, in seizing hold of a paper-knife, and attempting to resist the officers, had been guilty of an assault upon each of the officers, for which a further fine of Si., or seven days' imprison ment, was inflicted in each case. Mr. Whitty was kept in custody until the rising of the court, when he obtained leave to return home to arrange affairs pre vious to his departure for Lancaster. He first gave a promise that he would surrender at the railway station in Lime street, in order to proceed in charge of the bailiffs to Lancaster Castle. Mr. Whitty was at the station at half-peat nine o'clock, and there met a large number of friends who came to bid him good bye. The bailiffs arrived with the warrant for the unfortunate tailor Brown, but the document authori sing the incarceration of Mr. Whitty was not forth coming, and the train started with Brown alone. Mr. Whitty, much to the surprise of all present, then left the station on his way home, amid the cheers and congratulations of his friends. It was generally supposed that as the warrant had not been executed last night it would not perhaps be so; however, this morning, on the assembling of the Court, Mr. Ramshay stated that he signed the war rant last night. Mr. Lowndes intimated that Mr. Whitty was at his office; thereupon Mr. Stone, the superior officer of the court, proceeded at once to en force it. Mr. Whitty was, however, allowed to remain at his office till the next train for Lancaster departed at 1.25, and was in the meantime visited by " troops of friends." At the meeting of the Court this morning-- The Judge, on taking his seat, said it was desirable to make a few observations in reference to the dis graceful occurrences which had taken place in the court. They must be extremely vexing to himself, and offensive to every one. He had now found it ne cessary to give direct orders to the officers that every man who interfered in an improper manner with the proceedings of the court should be treated by him with the most severe punishment. He had now come to the conclusion that it was necessary to have the matter decided, whether the Court was to be treated with prop©r respect, or be insulted and rendered anything but respectable by the filthy comments and insults of the town. He would try whether the law or the slanderer and the libeller should l a p n r e d v a i he l .

It was a painful proof of the natural tendency and consequence of such pro ceedings as were on the previous day the subject of inquiry. He held in his hand a letter threatening him with assassination on this very day ; but he would tell the dirty slanderer, if present there, that he feared him not. It having become known that Mr. Whitty would be at the railway station, in order to proceed to Lan caster Castle, at one o'clock, a gr ea t concourse o f most respectable persons assembled in Lime-street at that hour to witness his departure. On making his appearance in the custody of Mr. Stone, high bailiff of the county court, and several assistants, Mr. Whitty was warmly greeted with hearty cheers, A s t half the utmost good humour andlsatisfaction: cheers ; ds, t one the train started, amidst deafening r eadnd demonstrations every o he n d e g m oe o ef n d h s sr spirits,ftri o i e n n o d f i s wy re ceived sh aking C P p e a a i t s v h e Y d . t the cordial e c h o a r ap d i and in ae t t l l i e. e course of the afternoon he was lodged in the MEETING OF MAGISTRATES. TUESDAY, HALF-PAST FOUR, r.M.—This afternoon one of the most numerous meetings of the magistrates that ever assembled in Liverpool took place, in' the grand jury-room of the Assize Courts. Although the circular calling the meeting had been issued only three hours, there were between thirty and forty gentlemen holding her Majesty's commission of the. peace in attendance at the meeting.
