The distinguished and proud mark of approval now presented to me by the corpo rate body of the city of London, completes that series of distinctions which I have derived from the proud in . position which my Queen and the Court of Di rectors had placed me in the East, and amply com pensates for the toils and anxiety inseparable from high command.—(Cheers.) I shall consider the placing my name upon the municipal roll of this great city as one of the proudest marks of distinction con ferred upon me; and I shall hand down this testitno nial to my posterity, satisfied that that posterity will regard the tribute, as I regard it myself, as one of the highest honours that could he conferred upon me.— (Loud and protracted cheering.) On the motion of Sir P. Lausur, seconded by Mr. J. Woon, the address was ordered to be entered upon the minutes of the Court, and the ceremony then concluded. The Court then proceeded with very thin numbers to dispose of the remaining business. THE OFFICE Or COMMON PLEADER. - The recommendation of the Officers' and Clerks' Committee, that the office of Common Pleader, va cant by the resignation of Mr. Laurie, should not be filled up, gave rise to a long discussion. Mr. 13LALF considered that the office was part and parcel of the constitution of the Corporation of the city of London, and that it would detract from the dignity of the body to abolish it wittout some good reason fur adopting such a measure. He moved, as an amendment, that the office be immediately filled up.—(Hear.) Mr. ANDERTON seconded the amendment. He ad mitted that he had upon a former occasion expressed himself in favour of the recommendation of the report, but he had since been convinced that it would be ex pedient to continue the office, inasmuch as there were at present three common pleaders, and a fourth would be necessary in the event of the trial of a case in which two might be engaged upon one side. lie hoped that the Lord Mayor's Court would soon be thrown open, and he would lend his assistance with all his heart to destroy the existing monopoly, which certainly ought not to be allowed to exist any longer ; but until the court was open, it would be necessary to fill all the offices attached to it. Mr. T. H. HILL wished to see the office done away with. He thought the working of the court was most expensive to the Corporation as well as to the public. They were obliged to pay for the legal help they might require for the defence of their own in terests ; and frequently they were obliged to pay heavily for assistance of the same kind that was used against them by these very same common pleaders.... (Hear.) Most unquestionably an improvement should be made in the existing system at least. Mr. Low did not wish to see an ancient office con nected with the City abolished, and thought the Court ought to be very cautious how they interfered with long-established rights, immunities, and cus toms. He would rather see the Corporation annihi lated at once than see its offices frittered away, as pro posed by the committee in their report. Mr. G. TAYLOR said the committee had not made out any case for the abolition of the office. Mr. Nona's contended that, by continuing the office of common pleader, the citizens were much benefited, and their rights were upheld in a most satisfactory manner. It was by the common pleaders the heavy briefs fur leading counsel in all municipal matters were prepared, and without the able assistance of these gentlemen, who had toiled through all the intricacies of civic rights and City privileges, the legal business of the Corporation could not be trans acted. Alderman LAWRENCE denied that the office was either useful or ornamental to the corporation or the citizens of London. There were some situations of the olden time which had been abolished, and cer tainly the City got on as well without them, and it would suffer no prejudice from the abolition of the office of City pleader. Mr. Deputy LOTT was in favour of retaining the office. The RECORDER said it was necessary for the Court to understand, that by not appointing a common pleader, they would in fact throw open the Lord Mayor's Court. After some more discussion, the report was, upon a division, agreed to by a majority of 9, the numbers being i 2 to 43. Mr. W. S. HALE state that it was with much plea sure he informed the Court, that the youth who had been educated in the City of London School, and who `4ad been the first to receive the Salomon's Scholar iship, had passed his examination at Oxford, and that ',two days afterwards he was elected a fellow of a col lege in that University.—(hear, hear.)

The Adelaide tender, in heaving down at the Ba nana Islands, sprang a leak and became a total wreck in the month of April. The slave trade is flourishing. The Firefly has taken eleven prizes during her time of service on the coast, two of which were full, containing 890 slaves; and on the 19th of March, off Ambriz, a large Ameri can barque, called the Navarrah, from Philadelphia, and having a Brazilian crew below ; she was going to ship 1,000 slaves the same night. The Water witch has captured a large brig, with 800 slaves on board, off 13enguela. The Rattler has captured a fine brig, with 840 slaves on board. The Pluto has captured a large American brig, empty, which she destroyed. The Flying-fish has captured a brigantine off Kabenda, which she destroyed. two The Firefly om h a m s e b e e d e e n r v u e u y d le e i r a , l t h h o 3 having n w •, ever,i o s nly lost ili having kept his cot the last three months, in which he was removed to-day in the steam-tender Sprightly, to Ilalsar Hospital. Mr. Malone, Paymaster and Purser of the Phoenix, has come home passenger in the Firefly, which is ordered to be paid off at Woolwich. The Bonetta brigantine will be the next vessel home from the coast of Africa. A letter from Rio of the 4th of April, received thi s afternoon, says—" The Tweed, 14, Commander Lord F. Russell, sailed on a cruiae on the 28th of March, to drive the yellow fever out of her. She has lost three midshipmen and her boatswain and 13 men by it. People here are dying in all directions ; the plague is frightful. The Southampton (Rear-Ad miral Reynolds) is also off, some say to Monte Video. The fever drives everything and every one away. It is reported that the Constitution, Brazilian frigate, is getting ready to convey the Emperor and Empress to England. The vessels in harbour were the South ampton, 50, Crescent, 42 (receiving hulk), and the Kestrel packet brigantine, which was also going on a 14 days' cruise to be out of the way of the con tagion." The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumares arrived in harbour l as t evening from Jersey. She has been docked to-day for repair. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, MAY 30.—Lieutenant—Frederick D.

TIIIE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. Incorporated by Charter 17th September, 1849, for receiving deposits at interest, discounting bills, making advances on approved securities, granting cash credits, ant transacting every other descrip tion of biu:kine business on the Scottish System. 16, TOKENHOUSE-YARD, LOT HP,URY. Commencing Capital 100,00:1, with power of gradual increase to 2,000,000/. • The Directois have the satisfaction to announce that a Branch of the Royal British Bank w.is opened in Lambeth (77, Bridge road,. on Monday, the 15th of April, 1850 ; and that tt,ey have already opened a Branch in the Strand (No. 429, corner of Agar street). Anther Branch will be opened in, Islington, near the Angel, as soon as the proniseshave undergone the necessary alterations. TERMS Ok''BUSENESS Deposit Accounts—Tbrek, per cent. will be credited daily on all depOsits for six months of 11. and upwards, and the interest paid monthly, or accumulated half-yearly, at the option of the de positor, for every sum not then drawn, and which in such cases will for the next period of six months form together an increased principal sum bearing interest at three per cent.; and if not then drawn, be again accumulated as above for the next h.elf•yearly period, and so on progressively, compounding the interest half-yearly. But in any particular case of need, the Directors will, it the circumstances justify an exception to their rules, repay the whole or any part of the depo.it. The Directors having by the Charter the peculiar privilege of gra dually Increasing the capital, will, when new shares are being alloted, give a preference, after the existing shareholders, to depositors who may wish to become proprietors, according to the priority of their applications, alto wing, until a dividend be declared, three per cent. interest on all deposits set apart for shares. In accordance with the original purpose of the Institution, and of the early promise of its promoters, viz., to endeavour to make the proprietary body as nu merous as possible, and the corporation, as far as the law will per mit, a society for banking on the principles of a mutual benefit association, the shareholders will have a preference in the enjoyment of such benefits as the bank can legitimately afford. Special Deposits for shorter or longer periods than six months will be received on such terms as may be arranged in each particular case. Drawing or Current Accounts—One per cent. interest, reckoned frem day to day, will be allowed en all balances constant for six months, of 1001. and upwards ; and two per cent. on all such balances exceeding 2001. ; but the permanent maintenance of any balance will not be insisted on, when tha party has not also a dis count account. Cash Credit Accounts will be granted to respectable parties on personal security, or such guarantees as may be satisfactory to the nank.`. A. --- commissiotr of one per cent, half-yearly will be charged on the atnount of the credit, but'interest (5 per cent per ants n) be debited on , the balance only of actual:cash from time totimd drawn out by the party after deduction of the sums paid in. Td share holders the commission on cash credits will be but a half per cent. half-yearly. All accounts will be balanced half-yearly. Official receipts will, on the one hand, be given to customers for all sums paid in, and their cheques on the other will be preserved by the Bank till the succeeding half•y early balance, when the accounts will be certified and the vouchers exchanged, except in cases where par • ties may specially wish for a different arrangement. Advances or Loans on Promissory Notes with marketable securi ties readily convertible, will be made at rates proportioned to the nature and value of the security in each case. Discounts of Bills of Exchange will be made at the rates of the day; but only to parties haying drawing accounts, and keeping balances of not less than one-fourth of the amount of their discounts. All Bills for Discount must be lodged daily before 12 noon, and not called for till after 2 P.M. Remittances will be made to, and Bills collected in, any place in England, Scotland, or Ireland, or on the Continent of Europe, where there is a banker; as also in America, the West Indies, India, and China. Dividends, &c., will be received for shareholders or customers, without charge. No charge will be made for keeping accounts ; nor any fee nor gratuity allowed to be received from a customer or applicant by any one in the Bank's employment. Farms of application from shareholders er depositors for new shares, or from parties desirous to open accounts, will be supplied at the Bank, or sent by post to any who may require them.

It •is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of • resisting, - or Counteracting, in a most remarkable manner, the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN O'ER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, •when folded, no more space—than a pocket-handerchief, it may be concealed in the sanni manner when not wanted. It, more .ovor..con,veys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing. The price is but ONE GUINEA. AND A HALF.

" Stirling, January 25, 1850 , " I have great pleasure in informing you that I bad a trial to-day of the I -inch gutta percha tube I had from you in December last, in presnce of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 40 feet of the same for attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion that no mate rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta percha, for although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kin;dom, being upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends the rivets in all directions.—l am, your obedient Servant, "ANDREW ROBERTSON."

" 34, Someret-stieet, Portman-square, London, "April 10, 1850. " Gent•temen,—Without reference to the variety of useful and or namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit) certified my decided approval of it fbr the under soles of shoes, and I have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable, I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and lining. " I am, gentlemen, your humble servant, "J. TAYLOR GORDON." (The above is the second voluntary testimonial)._ FROM 'DR. MURRAY, OF NULL. (Copy.) . " nirtiand-place. Hull, March 28, 1850. "Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use oileaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of iesd ther,by communicated are most insiduous and subtile. I hail with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tub!ng. I have had the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by one of gutta percha. • I am, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, "J. 3.URRAY, Pit.

The following graphic account of a visit paid to the Emperor Faustin I. by a French gentleman, who has just returned from Haiti, will be read with in terest. The object of the writer of the letter in visiting the West India Islands was to inquire into the state of the negro population, ;he being a warm advocate for the abolition of slavery, and an influential member of the principal abolitionist societies in France. It will be seen, however, that the present letter has no reference to the peculiar object of his journey, hut is confined exclusively to an account of the new Emperor:— Kingston (Jamaica), March 18, 1850. "During the month which I have passed at Haiti —a month of new studies and curious observations— I have not had a moment of leisure to write to you, having been continually moving from place to place. But now that I am enjoying the repose of this quiet island I could, from my notes and my recollections, send you a whole volume on the most interesting of the West India islands —on that empire of the western world which looks forward with pride and confidence to its example being imitated by la belle France. In order, however, not to extend my letter to an undue length, I shall postpone the account of the picturesque portion of my journey, and limit myself to some description of his Majesty the Emperor Faustin I. and his court. " On my arrival at Port-au-Prince my first care was to ask M. Raybaud (the French consul) to pre sent me to the man who, at the present moment, is the centre of attraction, admiration, and envy in this remote portion of the globe. After a delay of a few days, M. Raybaud informed me thayhe desired inter view would be granted, and that it had b e e n arran ge d that' it` should take place on the followink day. At the appointed time we went to the Palace. This edifice, which was in former times the residence of the governors of St. Domingo, assumes an imposing and even royal appearance when compared with the wretched hovels of which the rest of the town is . composed. In point of fact, however, it would be considered very mediocre in any country where architecture has made some progress. The palace is very low, being composed of only one story, raised a few feet from the ground, and approached by four or five steps, which extend all around the edifice. A court which is railed iri, and in which the Emperor passes a review of his troops every Sunday, reminds one vaguely of that of the Tuileries. On entering the palace we were 'shown into a waiting room, which I examined with attention. The floor is in white marble, the furniture in black hair-cloth and straw. On a richly carved table appeared a beautiful bronze clock, representing the arms of Haiti—nam e ly, a palm-tree, surrounded with fascines of pikes and surmounted with the Phrygian cap. The walls were decorated with two fine portraits, hung so as to correspond with each other. The one represents the celebrated French conventionalist, the Abbd Gregoire, and the other the reigning Em peror. of Haiti. The former is the work of an European artist; the latter does honour to the talent of a mulatto artist, the Baron Colbert. I should, perhaps, have remarked more, if my attention had not been attracted by the stsp of his Majesty in the neighbouring apartment, into which we were presently ushered. This apartment is hung with the portraits of all the great men of Haiti."and it is in it that the grand receptions are given. 'We imme diately approached his Majesty, who was alone in the room and standing. The Emperor was dressed in a handsome green uniform, irreproachable either in material or form. He wore two gold epsu-' lettes ornamented with two silver stars ; a plaque provisionally ornamented with crystal decorated his breast: He had a sword by his side, and carried his hat in his hand. He commenced by giving us a very, cordial shake of the hand. He then sat down on a fauteuil, and waited, with some appearance of confu sion and timidity, till M. Raybaud addressed him. 'We had, at his invitation, sat down upon chairs. The consul,,,after mentioning my name and profession, in formed the Emperor that I had come to visit his empire simply from motives of curiosity and amusement, and that it would have been a great disappointment to me if I had been obliged to leave the island without having had the• honour of being received by,his Ma jesty. To this speech I added, ' Sire, it was the only object of my voyage,' at the same time half rising from my seat. The Emperor imitated merpovement e and, thanked me, adding at the same, tieite -1 rlennelready had the pleasure of seeifig — this - Wrsiterrierneat:the re view on Sunday.' It was stow my turn to offer my thanks for this flattering reminiscence. The conver sation continued in the same manner for about twenty minutes. When we rose to take our leave of the Emperor, he again shook hands with us. Three sa lutations on our part, and as many on his, concluded the ceremony. " Faustin Soulouque is completely black, but his features have not by any means that savage and hideous form which ignorance attributed to the negroes of purely African origin. On the contrary, his features are pleasing, and there is a peculiar sweetness in his smile. Though 64 years of age, he does not appear to be more than 50. In height he is middle-sized. His breast is large and project ing, his shoulders broad, and his haunches clumsy, like those fur which Louis XVII[. was peculiar. From the regularity of his features, his profile looks like that of a Roman Emperor. When standing, his corpulence makes him appear little. Though natur ally taciturn, he is always dignified and choice in his words. It is right to rectify an error which at tributes to him an entire ignorance of the French language. In my presence he spoke very correctly, and without any mixture of creolicisms. He has also been accused of not being able either to read or write. The truth is, that he signs his name legibly, and even in cases of necessity writes letters, and be sides that he reads every evening, without the aid of a secretary, the new history of Haiti, which has just been published by M. Median, a native of much merit, who has recently been created a baron. He is greatly annoyed at the caricatures of him published in the Paris Charivari, and the jokes of the press in general. On this point he is susceptible to an incredible extent. " Faustin Soulouque is of the most humble origin. He was born a s lave on th e property of M. Viallet. This gentlemen, who is a European, has been pointed out to me. He has succeeded in escaping all the re volutionary storms which have agitated this country, y s t s i e n l i f e I 4 s and at present is an inhabitant of Port-au-Prince. The Emperor Soulouque having one day recently met him, went up to him and sa id, Although lam an Emperor to the rest of the world, I cannot but look upon you as m y master." And I,' replied M. as your subject. How strange A aalnlegt t e' th e a in `consider period'na of n n destinies evacuation of Haiti by the French, the emancipated slave entered as a soldier the army of General Dessalines. From step to step he rose to the rank of colonel, and he held that rank at the period of the fall of the President Boyer, a grave event, in which the present Emperor was not at all implicated. From his taciturnity—a quality which among the blacks is considered to denote the most approved wisdom and discretion --he was admitted into the secret of the several conspiracies which succeeded each other from 1843 to 1847. Having been created a general of division u nder Rich er , he only owed bis account election as Emperor t o the accide nt of his name having been mentioned in th e Senate a t the moment when the votes were divid ed betwe en two candidates, t n Th he e hec i etehmme mulattos became theoa t blacks owhomsvmobet eaebecause asfuoof hadsre hime a they sufficientheecyoi lthought they h a d no rea son to fear the ambition of one who had till then been quite unknown. But the latter were not long in discovering that they b ad g iven to themselves a master and not a flexible in strument . Hence proceeded the sanguinary events of th e month of April,lB4B. lc Soulouque triumphed in conse quence of his dis pwleasyidnigegarateeerdribhly m e energyig e y of charact er . Hi s v i ctory frightful exe cu ti ons . P er . t e the n wh o lece, fidious counsellors drove h im into a course of ven geance, nothing less fo less r t m h than exterminating hthe fifth o f t h e population of Haiti. In t his st ate of matters the Consul-General of Franc e a cquired for ever speaking coloured o f race, the gratitude of humanity. In the midst of the balls which whistled through the streets of Port au-Prince he repaired to the chief of the State, and succeeded, after reiterated efforts, in obtaining from him an amnesty, which excluded only twelve persons, whose safety had been already secured. In departing with the good news, M. Raybaud said to Soulouque, President, of all the persons here pre sent I am the only one who does not depend on you, and my opinion should a ppear to you at least the most disinterested. Many of these persons (pointing to the instigators of the crime) excite your resent ment as much as possible, and drive you to the most sanguinary measures, without in the least troubling themselves about the opinion that will be entertained of you beyond this island. These last words made the greatest impression on the mi n d o f sou . lcuque, and the hand of the conqueror ready to strike the conquered was arrested by this appeal to the tribunal of civilized nations. Soulouque for the last two years was pr i nc i pa lly occupied in re-conquering the Spanish part of the island, erected into the Do minican Republic, when, to the surprise of the Euro pean press, he was proclaimed • Emperor. People have generally agreed in saying that he did not Ny MAY 31, 1850. solicit this advancement; and, at any rate, he did not make himself a plagiarist of an idea which has always been attributed to another President. " The name of Emperor expresses nothing Na poleon-like at Haiti ; it supposes only an authority better respected than that of President, and recalls to the Hatian the popular recollection of Dessalines, who, in reward of the services rendered to his country, had been proclaimed Emperor. The fol lowing is, in few terms, the way in which the change in the form of government was brought about :—A certain number of military and civil citi ' zens addressed, on the 20th of August, 1849, a peti tion to the Chamber of Representatives, demanding that the title :,of ,Emperor should be conferred on his Excellency the President Soulouque. General Vil Lubin, commandant of the garrison of Pert-au- Prince, expressed the same wish, as well as the prin cipal officers present in the capital. On the 25th the Chamber took cognizance of the petition, approved it, and transmitted it on the. same day to the Senate, who gave it their sanction. Not a voice was raised in defence of the expiring republic. On the 26th the two great bodies of the State conveyed his promotion .to . Soulouque, accom panied with a crown and a cross, and expressing their devotion in the most monarchical terms. The coup d'etat, if such it be, was accomplished with the legal forms, and met with no opposition any where. The constitution was immediately put into harmony with the new order of things. Such as it is at present, it guarantees the essential rights of. citizens, and leaves, in appearance, little latitude to arbi trary proceedings. Unfortunately here, as elsewhere, practice continually contradicts theory. Entering com pletely into his imperial role, Faustin I. did not delay creating orders and ' titles of nobility. He is , greatly honoured for this conception, so favourable received. by the Haitians, , who, ,aomougst . other resemblances to their fol Mer rulers, have alwayi been .as vain as cocks.. There are at present two orders in the empire—the militaty order of St. Faustin, and the civil order of the Legion of Honour. The Emperor proclaimed himself the grand master, and has made grand crosses, and commanders, and knights, The titles are those of princes, dukes, counts, barons, and knights. The princes and the dukes have been chosen amongst the generals of divi sion and the vice-admirals ;.the counts amongst the generals of brigade and rear-admirals ; the barons amongst the adjutant-generals, the colonels, and captains of the navy ; the knights amongst the lieutenant-colonels and commanders of the navy. An assimilation of grades has been in some mea sure established between the civil and the military . functionaries. The senators, the representatives, the judges, the superior officers of the customs,' &c., are all barons. For the women, besides the femi nine of 'the titles accorded to the men, there exists the special title of marchioness. The first ordonnance decrees the creation of four princes, and fifty-seven dukes. The princes, named at the same time Marshals of the Empire, were the Generals Pierrot, Lazarre, Souffrand, and Bobo.- They receive with the title of Most Serene Highness that of Lord. To the ducal quality is attached the title of his Grace, and the name of some locality. From this latter cir cumstance arise the denominations which have led astray, the European and American journals. Thus, General Geffrard is Duke, of the Table, General Lui ding is Duke of Marmalade, General Segrettier Duke of Frose-Bonbon, General Alberti Duke of Lemonade, &c. But the Table, Marmalade, Frose-Bonbon, Le monade, &c., are all places marked in the ancient geo graphy of the country. King Christopher already made use of them for the same purpose as Soulouque, and wittily said, ' The French, when they laugh at my marmalade and lemonade, forget that they have amongst . themselves des Paii and des Bouillon." These two illustrious names are certainly lost in the darkness of times • but hive we not seen in our own day M. Salvandy desirous of being called the Count de Chante-Merle ? The princes and the dukes are all grand crosses of the order of St. Faustin, and all have the grand cor don of the Legion of Honour. Another ordonnance produced at once ninety-one counts. • They are all styled 'Excellence, and their titles, like those of the Dukes, are taken from different localities. Thus we have, amongst others, the Count de - la Seringue, the Count de Guepes, the Count de Diamant, the Count de, Perches,, the Count de la Bombarde, &c. lil the c p e r u mi n lg ts a 'a i re commanders of the order of St. Faustin, A officers- And ocers- -of- , the Legion :..of 'Honour: • More ' • ,_ ; his :favours as he descends: in the scale of aristocracY,the'Etn — Per - orhiirtretted-ssei • - numerable mass of barons and knights. Louis XIV., in the midst of his splendours, did not perhaps imagine as many honorary changes as the Emperor Faustin. Amongst his household figure a grand almoner, a grand master of the pantry, a grand marshal of the pa lace, a quarter-master, gentlemen of honour, governors of the royal palaces and castles, pages, masters of ce remonies, librarians, heralds-at-arms, &c. The Em press Adelina has likewise her household, which is composed of a grand almoner, two ladies of honour, two tire-women, fifty-six ladies of the palace, twenty two ladies of the chapel (all duchesses, countesses, baronesses, ladies of knights, or marchionesses), cham berlains, grooms, pages, &c. The Imperial Princess, Madame Olivia Faustin, possesses an equally brilliant household. Her gouvernante is Madame le Che valier de Bonheur. The costume of the no bility has been regulated with particular care. The princes, dukes, and counts must wear white tunics, the barons red coats, and knights blue coats. They are moreover distinguished by the number of plumes in their hats. The princes have nine, the dukes seven, the counts five, the barons three, and the knights two. An ordonnance decrees in minute terms the etiquette of the court. The gentlemen must appear in uniform ; the ladies in full dress. ' The nobles guard their swords,' the ordonnance says, ' as their finest ornament.' The tabouret is reserved for the princes and princesses, the dukes and duchesses, whilst folding chairs are allowed to counts and countesses, ba rons and baronesses, knights and their ladies. Soulou que is actively occupied in raising Haiti to the height of the ancient monarchies of Europe. Ideas of war en gage him without intermission—a brave soldier, he is determined to efface the defeat of Azud, where a few hundred Dominicans, profiting by the inaction of the Haitian army gained an easy victory. Two war steamers have been ordered in Europe. The campaign is to open next month. The chances appear very bad for St. Domingo, the population of which is only about 150,000, whilst that of Haiti is upwards of 600,000. The unfortunate republic has already in vain appealed to the protection of France and England, and now solicits the interven tion of a power of the second order. Reduced to extremities she may cast herself into the arms of the United States; such an eventuality might occasion grave complications. What especially encourages Soulouque, in his warlike projects, is that the excel lent sale of coffee, the principal article of export, in creases greatly the resources of this year. The system of monopoly introduced by the Minister of Finance, M. Solomon, has been crowned with complete success, however contrary it may appear to sound notions of political economy. The ordinary revenue of Haiti is valued at about 240,0001., official situations are paid accordingly. The Emperor receives about 3,2001. a year, the empress from 1,0001. to 1,2001., the three ministers have each a little less than 1201. a year as their salary. The French indemnity weighs heavily on the budget. The clergy costs very little, there are not more than 48 priests in the whole bounds of the em pire. People have been mistaken when they spoke of the influence of the Jesuits at the Court of Port-au- Prince. The Haitian territory is closed arainst all monastic orders. The vicar apostolic, the Abbe Cessens, who has been represented as the agent of the disciples of Loyola, strictly confines himself to• the religious duties of his charge. As for the authority of the ministers it is to be wished that it were somewhat greater. They are men of acknowledged merit. M. Dufresne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, of the Interior, of War, and of Marine would shine in the most civilized countries. He is a clear mulatto. M. Solomon, Minis ter of Finance and of Commerce, and M. Francisque, Minister of Justice and of Worship, are jet black.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at the Guildhall, for the purpose of presenting the free d-on of the City to the Right Honourable Lord Gough, agreeably to the resolution of the 6th of April, 1846. The court was filled with aldermen and common councilmen, arrayed in full robes of office specially for the occasion, and the part of the Council Chamber allotted to the public was crowded to ex cess with eager spectators of the interesting ceremony. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. After the usual preliminaries, The Clerk proceeded to read the resolution of the 6th April, 1846, voting the freedom of the city to Lord Gough, after which his Lordship was duly inducted, and took the customary oath. The CITY, CLIAMBERLAII, then rose amidst profound ' silence, and said—My Lord Gough,—ln reflecting upon the events which have • been the occasion of our meeting this day, the mind is naturally led to contem plate a fact in connexion with oar history as a nation' which forcibly illustrates one peculiarity in the charac ter of the British people. It hath pleased Him who " giveth no account of any of these matters" to permit, if not to ordain, that wars and tumults should desolate the fair globe which he has assigned to man as his earthly residence. It may also seem strange that I should advert to this circumstance unless it were to draw attention to the happy fact that, although our colonies and de pendencies have not altogether escaped the ravages of war, yet it hath pleased that all-wise and merciful Providence to vouchsafe to this highly-favoured island which we ourselves inhabit that none of its ac • tual disasters, but merely the rumours of war, should reach it.—(Cheers.) The goodness of God to this island has been manifested in raising up from time to time, those who have • been eminently conspicuous in . sustaining the honour of her arms. Not less viorthyof observation is the disposition which He has im planted in the minds of all classes to acknowledge, with the liveliest gratitude, the services of those who have deserved well of their country, in contributing to the protection of its rights and privileges.— (Cheers.) This feeling exists in the heart of the highest personage' in the realm, from whom it de scends, disseminating itself through every grade of society, until it rests in the bosom of the humblest of her subjects.----(Cheers.) My Lord, I would invite, not indeed your Lordship, but the other portions of this numerous assemblage to join with mein contem plating that which is recorded as having occurred somewhat more than half a century since. My Lord, we may picture to ourselves a youth of sonic sixteen or seventeen years of age, serving as a . subaltern at 'the, capture .of the Cape of Good Hope, and the Dutch fleet in Sal , danha-bay, and there obtaining the approbation of his superiors, and affording many adumbrations of future greatness.—(Cheers) My Lord, 'years rolled on, our subaltern obtained, I should rather have said earned, promotion. The West Indies, the Peninsula, and subsequently China and British India, were the scenes •of his glorious achievements ; and, although thrice he bled Whit; 'country's cause,, his valuable life was spared, until we are now privileged in seeing him amongst us in the person, of your -Lordship, after having, as we are assured by- the testimony of a late Chairman of the East India Company, fougth fifteen pitched battles, of which every one has been a victory. —(Loud cheers.) My Lord, your Lordship has, from time to time, -received froth your Sovereigntestimo nies of the high estimate in' which your services were held, and, no sooner were the events which have brought us together made known to her for whom, and for blessings on whose bead a nation's prayers are constantly, ascending to Him by whom " kings reign and princes decree justice," than that illus trious, lady—illustrious whether we view her as wielding the sceptre of a mighty empire, or as, in unison • with her , Royal Consort, setting a bright example of every social and domestic virtue —(Cheers)—signified her intention Of raising your Lordship to 'the Peerage. That intention has been carried into effect ; and the successful issue of: a subsequent campaign has been the occasion of cumulated honours upon your Lordship's venerable and venerated head.—(Loud cheers.) The two guse of Parliament have likewise awarded to yool,Lnt - ship the tribute of their thanks, arid it is to this Cor poration a source of pleasure and of honest pride to be permitted to. place your Lordship's honoured narrre.updd our municipal toll; while we-cannot 'but 0441414.4eat..the.gatist,,9C4_. *Wawa ofoaoif the most ancient and distinguished City - bonipritiies - trive tendered to your Lordship's acceptance, and that your Lordship has honoured them by accepting, the freedom of their art or mystery, whereby I sin en abled to receive your Lordship, not only as a citizen of London, but as a freeman also of the worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.—(Loud cheers.) All this, my Lord, is but the expression of the national feeling, and I hesitate not to assure your 'Lordship that there is not an Englishman, and—l will add—neither is there an Irishman, who will not. join with us in the sentiment which, if I mistake not, is to be found in the motto of the arms granted to the immortal Nelson —" Palmam qui meruit ferat."—(Renewed cheers.) My Lord, I am quite aware that the characters of the soldier and the politician are widely and essen tially different, and that it is the duty of the former simply to carry into effect, to the utmost of his power and of the means placed at his disposal, the work which he is entrusted to accomplish; still it cannot but be gratifying to your Lordship, as it must be to every well-regulated mind, that the result of your Lordship's achievements In India, while it has sustained - the character of our army, European and native, has inflicted a righteous retribution on a daring and licentious foe, who was seeking to disturb the quiet of his unuffending British neighbours, and has restored peace, and secured the integrity of our Indian possessions.—(Cheers.) My Lord, I desire to remember that I am addressing your Lordship in the capital of Christian England, and in the presence of those who over the portal of their Royal Exchange have caused to be inscribed the acknowledgment that the "Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof."— (Cheers.) To His mercy do we desire to ascribe every blessing we enjoy ; and we would hail the pre sence of your Lordship • amongst us, as that of an honoured instrument of Him who hath taught your hands to war and your fingers to fight, in doing great and glorious things for British India.—(Cheers.) I rejoice unfeignedly that this is a feeling in perfect unison with that which has dictated all your Lord ships's dispatches, and which was manifested by your Lordship and the Noble and Gallant Viscount, the then Governor-General of India, in the public ascrip tions of praise and thanksgiving which followed the vic tories referred to in the resolution that has been read. — (Cheers.)
