Shortly before three o'clock the procession left Westminster Hall, and being again fairly launched on the bosom of Father Thames it returned to Black friars-bridge in the same order as before. Shortly after it had passed Westminster-bridge an accident occurred at the stairs leading to the Waterman's Pier there, which at one time it was feared had proved fatal to several persons. It was in every respect si milar in its nature to what took place some years since at Blackfriars-bridge, and owing to which se veral lives were lost. The wooden bridge, which leads from the stone steps to the floating barges, from which passengers embark on board the steamers, suddenly snapped in two, and in an instant some eight or ten persons, some of wbom were females, fell through. Fortunately the tide was out at the time, or possibly some of the persons might have been drowned, as was the case when the like accident occurred at Black friars-bridge. As it was, it was feared that some se rious injury bad been inflicted upon them, as the height, from which they fell was about four feet, and the place beneath them was a sort of paved ground. We are, however, happy to say that, with the exception of some bruises and bemudded apparel, the individuals in question escaped wonderfully well. The Lord Mayor returned to Blackfriars at a few minutes before four o'clock ; and the procession being reformed, passed through New Bridge-street, Lud gate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyard, and Cheapside, to Guildhall. The only addition to the cavalcade was the Lady Mayoress, who preceded the Lord Mayor in a magnificent state coach, just built for his Lordship by Messrs. Laurie and Maser, of Oxford-street. This equipage was greatly admired. and commercial men, and the statesmen and people had ever been jealous of the glory, and power, and prosperity of the navy.—(Loud cheers.) No think ing man would refuse to agree in the sentiment or a popular writer of the present day with regard to the British navy—he alluded to it as a noble service which, of all the instruments by the English Government, was the most impotent for mischief and the most Powerful for good. The immediate predecessor of the present Lord Mayor had had the privilege, upon a late festive occasion at York, of being present when the toast of "The Navy" was given, and on that occasion the illustrious Prince who was present expressed himself with sterling good sense and ge nuine patriotic feeling, in a manner which would go far to increase the feelings of loyalty, respect, and regard entertained for the Royal Family throughout these realms. The Lord Mayor of York, in proposing he army and navy, said that the best guarantee for peace—which they were all anxious to maintain—that their best guarantee and security was the known ca pability of Great Britain to resent and resist an injury, from whatever quarter it might be offered ; and he was proud to think that the navy had not gone back. He had heard many stories and criticisms upon the state of the navy, but he believed when the hour of trial came, they would have the hearts and fibres of British oak ; they would find the hearts of their ma riners as loyal and as brave as the old veterans of Camperdown, and the gallant and glorious heroes of the Nile and Trafalgar.—(Loud cheers.) Sir J. BURGOYNE briefly returned thanks on behalf of the army. _ _ _ The LORD MAYOR said the next toast he had the pleasure to propose was one in which they were all deeply interested—it was, " Prosperity to the City of London and its Trade."—(Loud cheers.) He was sure be need not make' any statements to them to induce them to believe that the enterprise and public spirit of that great city would always enable it to remain the emporium of the trade and commerce of the world, and although they had already made a transition from an old system to a new one, which was always attended with difficulties, yet he was satisfied that the enterprise and energy of the citizens of London would always enable them to stand prominent before the world as the chief representatives of trade and commerce.—(Loud cheers.) The toast having been duly honoured, The LORD MAYOR again rose and said,—l am now going to invite you to !pay a mark of respect to my Right Hon. Friend the late Lord Mayor.— (Great cheering.) His conduct during the past year is before the world. The citizens of London can testify to the upright, and honourable, and indepen dent manner in which he has discharged the duties of Lord Mayor, and his conduct is in every way worthy a chief magistrate of this great metropolis. I beg, therefore, to give you " The Health of the late Lord Mayor."—(Great cheering.) Mr. Alderman FARNCOMB (the late Lord Mayor) returned thanks. He assured them that it was with peculiar pleasure he rose to thank them for the great honour they had done him in drinking his health. If he had only deserved their commendations, that was with him above all other considerations. He would never forget the very great kindness he had ex perienced during his year of office, and begged to re turn them all his sincere thanks. The LORD MAYOR—It becomes my duty now to propose to you a toast which I am sure you - will all receive with acclamation. I believe there never was a period when it was more acceptable to this company to receive the representatives of foreign powers than at the present period, when we are at peace with all the world.—(Loud cheers.) I will just take the opportunity of saying, that on the last occasion of being in this hall, I had the honour of sitting opposite his Excellency the American Minister ; and he did me the honour to say that if he lived, and if I would give him an invitation, he would be sure to be here on this day.—(Heat, hear.) Allow me to say that his Excellency has now fulfilled his promise. lam delighted that he is here today, and that with his colleagues he has done us the honour to be pre sent. I beg to propose to you " The health of the Foreign Ministers," and to assure them in your name, that the citizens of London will be always ready to give them a hearty welcome. toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. His Excellency the American Minister (Mr. LAW RENCE) returned thanks. He said—l came here, my Lord Mayor, hoping to have had the pleasure of meeting a large number of my colleagues, many of whom I knew, if they were here, were older than myself, and would respond to any sentiment that might be given by your Lordship. In that expecta tion, my Lord, I find myself disappointed, and I con fess to you that I am somewhat embarrassed. Be sides finding myself the senior on this occasion, it seems, from the good memory of your Lordship, that on the last occasion—the only occasion on which I ever had the honour of dining is this hall—it gave me great satisfaction, as I well remember, to sit opposite his Lordship. His Lordship now reminds me that I then made a promise, without however knowing that he was to be Lord Mayor, that I would make a speech whenever he should be Lord Mayor. That pledge, besides the duty devolved upon me, he now calls upon me to redeem; and I beg your Lordship and this distinguished company to accept the grateful thanks of my colleagues and myself, on behalf of the countries we severally represent, for the great honour you have done us in drinking our healths upon the present occasion. My Lord Mayor, it is good for us, representing foreign countries, to come up here to this hall, devoted as it is to the great objects for which it has been occupied almost time out of mind—that is hospitality—the great purposes of the city of London, whether civic or for the purpose of carrying on the government of the City. We should be recreant to our duty and our interests if we were not to appreciate the compliment of being in vited to dine on this time-honoured occasion with the chief magistrate of the mightiest city that does exist, or probably ever did exist, on the face of the earth. —(Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, I urn here in this great city of London, which is the banking and clear ing house of the world. And what has created this great city ? My Lord Mayor, it is the genius of com merce. London was made and created what she is through the instrumentality of commerce, and by the honour and integrity of those who have been the hankers, and merchants, and tradesmen of the city of London.— (Great cheers.) My Lord Mayor, what I have already said with regard to the city of London is but a small part in my estimation of what really belongs to her—([-Tear, hear.) This city is the home of freedom. Tne city of London has been distin guished for her devotion to the cause of civil and religious liberty.—(Vehement cheering). Where was it, I ask, that the first stand was made against the Royal prerogative of collecting ship- money ? Here, in the city of London, by that immortal man John Hampden. Were was it that the proscribed Members of Parliament took refuge? It was in the City of London, under the protection of the Mayor, aldermen, and citizens of this great metropolis. My Lord Mayor, it has 'been the home of freedom, and I hope it always will be the home of freedom, in re ligion and politics.--(Great applause.) I did not rise, my Lord Mayor, to do more than tender to you my acknowledgments on behalf of my colleagues and myself for the great honour yon have done us to day, but I cannot sit down without a single word for my own country—a single word for a nation and a people who have a common ancestry with your own —who have the same blood, a common language, the same religion, and the same laws.—(Cheers.) I cannot, I say, my Lord, take my seat without say ing a single word on the intimate social relations ex isting between the United Kingdom and the United States—relations which tend so much to the peace and interest of the world—l mean the relations of mutual in terest, and if anything could be stronger, it is the fact of both of us being of the Anglo-Saxon race, and reared in the same Protestant faith.—(Loud cheers.) With the same great talent and thought working out the great plan of Providence for the salvation of the world, I ask you, then, if we are what I have repre sented both nations to be, as regards their social rela tions—l ask you what is there that should disturb this peace and harMony that exists between us (Tremendous cheering.) I can only say, on the part of my own country, and I pledge 23,000,000 of people, governed by the Anglo-Saxon race and laws —I pledge them as I do myself, that the feeling which exists there is the same as exists here, and that we are all of us interested in the prosperity and happiness of the city of London. My Lord Mayor, 1 congratu late you on being elevated to the important position which you now hold. I congratulate the citizens of London on having lived under the government of equal laws well administered, and I can only wish that the mantle of those that have preceded your Lordship may fall and sit as gracefully on your shoulders as on those of any of your predecessors. The Loan MAYOR then rose, and said that he was honoured to-night by the presence of a distinguished guest, the Lord High Chancellor of England, and he was sure that the citizens of London would feel proud at receiving his Lordship in that ball. He believed the Noble and Learned Lord was a citizen of London by birth—that he bad been educated at one of the publ►c schools—that he took very high and distin guished honours, and he had since deservedly received the seals of her Majesty. He was sure they would all rejoice at seeing his Lordship' among them that ev ening, and it was his anxious desire that he might be spared many years to enjoy his reward.—(Cheers.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said—My Lord Mayor, I return you my very warm thanks for the kind man ner in which you have introduced my name to the company. All the members of my profession who know anything of the customs of this great city ought to feel deeply interested i n it s welfare ; for the city of London has very frequently been the first to discover and encourage talent and merit in the members of my pro fession. The first step to honour is the discrimination of talent, and some of the greatest men that England ever possessed have taken that first step to honour by the discrimination of the city of L endon. I therefore, in common with every member of my profession, feel the greatest satisfaction and pl easure i n at t en ding your festivals and witnessing your prosperity ; but, my Lord Mayor, I have also peculiar reasons, which you have adverted to. I am not one of those who have obtained my freedom by birth. I obtained the freedom of the city of London ,hy servitude. I honestly served my apprenticeship in the Worshipful Company of Turners ; but the sort of turning-lathe I adopted was that of the quill —an instrument which has produced as singular transformations as that of any turning-lathe; and I think that I myself am not the least striking instance of its wonderful transfor mations.—(Hear, hear.) It is also true that in one of your great establishments in this city, I, in common with my valued and Learned Friend, the Lord Chief Baron, received my education. There I first imbibed those feelings and that affection for, the Reformation which became endeared to me as my understanding ripened, which I learned to value, and co ntinue to value, as intimately connected with civil and religious liberty—a Reformation which, I am sorry to say, at this time calls more than ordinarily on every true hearted Protestant in the empire to maintain inviolate. It calls on every true-hearted Protestant to main tain and defend it against enemies within and ene mies without.—(Loud cheers.) There are some who have thought it right to depart from that simplicity of Christian worship which our divine Saviour adopted and left us an example of, and who seek to approxi mate as near as possible to Romish forms, and would almost seem to invite that very invasion with which we have been recently threatened and visited.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) You are called upon to watch the progress of that invasion. Protestant Eng. land is now informed that she has come under a Roman Catholic hierarchy. The hymn of triumph for an admission to an equality of civil rights and liberties has given place to a note of defiance, and we now witness an aggressive assumption of spirtival authority in the Papal manifesto which the people of this country will not tamely submit to.—(Tremend ous cheering.) Considering the language of the docu ment to which I refer, and considering the truly Romish construction which some attempt to put upon the oath of supremacy, it would seem as if some were acting in fulfilment of the ancient prophecy, that the cardinal's cap would equal the Crown of the Queen of England. If any such event is anticipated, I would answer them in the language of Gloucester—" This cap we will tread under our feet, in spite of Pope and Church adventurers."—(Great Applause.) I thank the city of London for the knowledge and love of the Reformation which it inculcated in me, and I beg now to return my hearty and sincere thanks for the compliment which has been paid me. I hope, my Lord Mayor, as you have begun in peace, so your mayoralty will end in peace—that you will gain renown for your hospitality, and the manner in which you have shown how the arts of peace may conduce to the happiness of all.—(Hear and cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then rose, and gave, " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers," many of whom had that night honoured them with their presence. , He was not singular in believing that her Majesty's Ministers were sincerely anxious to promote the wel fare of all her Majesty's subjects. This he was sure of, that they were quite resolved to maintain the British Constitution in all its integrity; and he was satisfied also, from a letter that had lately been writ ten by the Prime Minister, that they had a guarantee from his Lordship that the Protestant Church and civil and religious liberty would be maintained in this country.—(Loud cheering.) He was sure they would rejoice that they had an opportunity of testify ing to her Majesty's Ministers that they wereesnxious to do all in their power to maintain peace and tran quillity at home, and unity with Sovereigns abroad. He gave them " The Health of Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud and general cheering for some minutes.) Lord J. RUSSELL, on presenting himself, was re ceived with a renewed burst of cheering. He said— I return my most grateful thanks to the Lord Mayor .and this distinguished company for the honour th , y have done•ns. I trust we deserve the praise he has been pleased to bestow on our endeavours to protect the best interests of the country ; and it is a source of great satisfaction to us that at this moment the tran quillity of the country and the general state of trade betoken a state of well-being and comfort which we cannot but look upon with the greatest gratification ; and, gentlemen, if', as I am sorry to say, souse of the powers of Europe seem disposed to interrupt this peace, which has happily prevailed for so many years, c t t t rest can w o e n those may have no who b e hesitation es successfulitati nwantonlyo in I can only say that th e b est endeavours of her Ma jesty's Government w ill b e appl i ed to preserve that e re r s , e r he i a e r g .) war.—(Hear, that endeavour—a n d th a t , at all events, a deep and peace—thatg a e r a d v y t responsibility t hi sry, e o w e un trust will t th at p in r c e u e r eu th ei eemegisertiheast we ar.—re ( H pa v of terms s h reef amicable relations with all the countries of the world, and that we trust that those relations may be maintained. The Lord Mayor, in speaking of any merit which her Majesty' s Ministers may lave, has alluded to the declaration which has recently been made on my part.—(Hear, hear.) I can only say, gentlemen, that that attachment to •the religious freedom of this country which I have hitherto felt, will always continue to animate my breast, and that it will be my duty to maintain 'to the utmost of my power the supremacy of our Sovereign—(A loud and general burst of cheering)— dthe religious an of the people, from • whatever quarter they may be assailed.—(Renewed cheering.) Let me add, how ever, one thing further. Wh en perils much more grave, much more imminent, impeeded over this country, a wise , princ ess , w h o at that ti me ruled her destinies, thought fit to call to her aid all those, whatever might be their religious persuasion, who were faithful to the Throne, and were true to the interests of the country. Such was the conduct of Elizabeth in times of as great danger as ever occurred to this country. Such conduct, I ray, is worthy of imitation ; a nd I believe, with the religious liberty established in this country, persons of all religious persuasions, while obeying the dictates of their conscienc e as to the mode of worship they think right to adopt, will rally ro und the insti tutions of the country, pay a grat eful homage to the Crown for the protection they receive, and rejoice that they live in a land where freedom is general, and I may say is permanently established.—(App lause. ) Gentlemen, I thank you for the honour you have done me and my colleagues in drinking our healths on the present occasion, and I fervently hope that the pros_, perity of this city may continue, and that it may not only be distinguished by the immensity of its lation and the greatness of its trade, but celebrated as the most free and enlightened city on the face of the globe. The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Marquis of Lansdowne and the House of Peers. The toast was received with great a pplause. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks on behalf of the members of the House of Peers present and those who were absent, for the honour that bad been done them. On behalf of that body he ventured to say that they had never shown themselves indifferent to the commerce and welfare of the city of London. Although they did not pretend to create or originate those impulses that were given to public opinion ; so, on the other hand, they were not contented servilely to follow them. He would say with regard to that great movement, of which the commencement had taken place under the mayoralty of the Right Hon. Gentleman's predecessor, but which must be brought to a consummation in his own, that the numerous foreigners that would be attracted to the city, although they would find many things to wonder at in our arts, manufactures, and inventions, yet they would find nothing more admirable than the institutions of the country, and more particularly the municipal institutions of London over which the Lord Mayor presided. In coming to this country they would witness not only an exposition of arts and in dustry, but they would see the institutions of the country, and would find reason to admire their energy in all things, in things material and things immate rial, in things religious and things moral, which dis played in the highest degree the noble minds and powerful energies of the peoplethis country of (Cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded by proposing " The health of the Lord Mayor, whose year of office promised to be one eventful in the arts of peace, pros perity, and commerce." The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks for the honour conferred on him. He observed that there was no country in the world in which there was such implicit obedience to the laws, and he attributed that, in a great measure, to the way in which the laws were administered by the learned judges of the land. They were honoured to-night by the presence of several of those judges, and be was sure it must be a gratification to them to know that in the way which the laws were administered afforded universal satis f4ction throughout the land. Whether rich or poor —the most miserable culprit or the highest nobleman —whenever justice had pronounced her decree, he had never heard the decision questioned. He gave them " The Health of Lord Campbell, and her Majesty's Judges." The toast having been duly honoured, Lord CAMPBELL said her Majesty's judges return you their most grateful thanks for the honour you have done them in drinking their healths, and they are exceedingly indebted to the Lord Mayor for the kind manner in which he proposed it. Having said so much, perhaps the most expedient course would be for me to sit down, for I have observed .that there is only one topic in the present state of affairs to which you are disposed to listen—(Loud cheers) —and to that topic it does not belong to me by any means to allude. I have the honour to hold a distin guished office in one of her Majesty's courts of law, and it might so happen that his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, and his Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, might be tried at that bar.—(A. laugh.) If his Erni nece and his Holiness should appear in my hall, then they may depend on it that they will have an impar tial trial.—(Great laughter and cheers.) My Lord Mayor, you have said that justice is equally adminis tered to persons of all conditions in our courts, and if the Pope himself appeared in his triple crown before me he would receive the same justice as if he were an humble parish priest. Gentlemen, I will only further add, that we have heard with great satisfac tion the praises bestowed upon us by the Lord Mayor, and I can assure you that the good opinion and con fidence of our fellow-subjects is the best reward of our labours. I believe that the pure administration of 1 justice in this country has been its glory for more than a century, and I hope that in our time that glory will not depart from us. It gives us great satisfac tion to feel, that from the remotest time down to the present day, there has been a familiar and friendly and cordial and affectionate intercourse between the judges and the Corporation of the city of London. We are now associated with you in that high court over which you, my Lord Mayor, preside ; and I need not say how much satisfaction it gives us that this more inti mate connexion affords us the opportunity of partak ing of your splendid hospitality. I am sure all my brother judges are animated with a wish that the same friendly feeling may continue, and that the same in tercourse may subsist between the judges of the land and the magistrates of London. The LORD MAYOR then rose, and gave " The Health of Lord Palmerston and the House of Com mons," complimenting the Noble Lord upon the talent he had displayed in the management of the foreign affairs of the country. Lord PALstuanorr, who, on rising, was received with loud cheers, said—l beg, in my own name, and in behalf of that great and noble assembly with whose name you have done me the honour of coupling mine, to make our most sincere acknowledgments for the flattering manner in which you have noticed the House of Commons on the present occasion. It is indeed natural that the connexion which exists between the House of Commons and the city of London should be present to the minds of those in this Hall on this occasion, for the House of Commons is the guardian, if I may say so, of po litical liberty, and this Hall is the centre of that commercial principle which is identified with the city of London.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it cannot be doubted that political liberty and commercial pros. perity naturally go hand in hand, for without politi cal liberty commerce never prospers; and where there exists commercial prosperity there you will always find that intelligence, that activity, that spirit of inquiry, and that independence of mind which are the best elements of political liberty.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) In these days, when we see nations in volved in internal and external struggles which they have undergone to secure their political rights, it is a proud consolation to us to feel that we are tran quilly enjoying, as an inheritance from our forefathers, those invaluable blessings which others are pur chasing at the expense of their dearest blood.— (Loud cheers.) And indeed, gentlemen, there is an analogy between this venerable Hall in which we are now assembled and that glorious constitu tion of which we are so proud, for in this Hall the foundations are ancient, the superstructure is solid and durable, but nevertheless, although reared by hands in former aged, it has been adapted to the wants and habits of the day, and does not refuse the enlightenment of the age in which we live.—(Hear, hear) But, gentlemen there are, other lights which shine upon us beiid es those I have just alluded to.— (Cheers.) There are ornaments that grace this board independently of those which derive their merits from antiquity. We are here surrounded by numberless bright eyes and highly. adorned graceful forms, whose merit lies in the youth, and not in the antiquity of their existence—(Cheera and laughter)—and that con sideration le•ids we to anticipate a wish which I am persuaded is felt by all who hear me, that we shall drink " The Health of the Lady Mayoress." • The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the compliment, and proposed "The Health of the Sheriffs, Mr. Alder man Carden and Mr. Hodgkinson." Mr. Sheriff CARDEN returned thanks. The next toast proposed was " The Attorney- General and the Bar of England." The Attorney-General (Sir J. ROMILLY) returned thanks. The next toasts were, "The City Members and Mr. Masterman," acknowledged by Mr. MABTERMAN and " The Aldermen of the City of London and Sir Peter Laurie," acknowledged by Sir PETER LAURIE. The LORD MAYOR said he had now to propose the final toast on his list, " The health of the Recorder of the City." The Recorder (the Right Hon. STUART WORTLEY) begged to express in the warmest terms, but the fewest words, the deep gratitude he felt for the honour done him. To be associated in this country in the admi nistration of justice, where the bench was revered, was a high honour, but to receive that honour from so great a community as the city of London was a still greater honour than the mere judicial distinction ap pertaining to an administration of the law. Oae of the chief privileges of this city was the ap pointment of its own judge, and in being selected to fill that office he assured them he felt the responsibi lity which devolved upon him. He would try to repay the confieence of the citizens of London by en deavouring to emulate the bright example of his pre decessor.—(Applause.) The principal guests then retired to the council room, where tea, coffee, and other refreshments were served up. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Truro, the American Minister, and several of the elite of the company remained till near midnight. Mr. Harker officiated with his usual efficiency as toast-master. Several glees were sung in the course of the evening by a vocal band, under the direction of Mr. Jolly. Of the various guilds of the corporation who cele brated Lord Layor's-day, on Saturday, the Masons' Company mustered at their hall ia strong force, when, under the presidency of the worshipful the master, Alfred Gwilt, Esq., the good old loyal feeling of the company was most warmly elicited by appropriate addresses. [PRICE SD. Belfast mail has brought the Northern Whig of this day, which, remarking upon the letter of Lord John Russell to the Bishop of Durham, says that it was at first supposed not to be authentic ; but (continues that journal) " the London Thursday evening papers have I removed all doubts about the supposed deception, and it only remains for us to express our astonishment that such a production has proceeded from the Prime Minister. It is quite in opposition to his usual acts, distinguished as they are by moderation and caution ; and how his views are to be carried out, consistently with the principles of civil and religious liberty, we are at a loss to imagine. This letter, however, adds an iintnen‘e gravity to the question of Papal interference with England. Either that interference must be moderated, or Lord John Russell must change his place ; hut at present the question is whether or not his Lordship has acted with becoming discretion, and as a fair exponent of the feeling of England." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIs DAY. TIMES.—The policy of the Court of Berlin? at this important crisis in the history of Prussia and the fate of Germany defies all rational speculation and perplexes conjecture itself. For what conclusions can be drawn from the conduct of a Government over which, at this moment, no man of firm character or known principles presides, and which at the very instant when provident and energetic guidance is most needed seems tost about without any guidance at all ? In the last Cabinet Council at which Count Branden burgh;presided the proposal of M. de Redo witz to render the whole army movable, and to call out the Land wehr, was rejected, after a struggle which cost one Minister his place and the other his life. Two days afterwards that decision was literally reversed, and.this, as it would seem, by a unanimous decision of the same Cabinet or of the remaining members of it, under the personal influence of the King. Tae order of state for placing these enormous forces on foot actually ' appeared in the Prussian Gazette of the 7th of No vember. In addition to the whole regular army, the first division of the Landwehr (including the male po pulation from 25 to 32 years (siege), and the Ist and 2d companies in each battalion of the second division (including the male population from 32 to 39 years of age), are called out for active service; and the effect of this measure (according to the German papers) will be, that in ten days Prussia may have 480,000 men under arms. In short, it is impos sible for the King to have made a mere direct appeal to the military spirit of the nation; and if his motive for acceding to this extraor dinary measure has been to make a demonstra tion calculated to procure for him more honourable terms of peace, we see great reason to fear that, whilst this act of intimidation will have no effect on his adversaries, it will render his own extrication from the position in which he now stands far more difficult than it was already. The probability is, that after the fall of M. Rsdowitz from his seat in the Cabinent tae still found means to sway the judgment of his Sovereign and to carry by underhand practices the measure he had been compelled ostensibly to abandon. The immediate effect of the measure at Berlin was rather one of consternation and astonishment than of exultation, especially as on the preceding day the Radowith proposal had been negatived. Upon the Exchange no business was transacted in the funded securities of Prussia, but her treasury notes fell in stantly eight per cent., an excess of alarm which the case does not justify. The sting of disappointment and exasperation which the failure of so many hopes and pro mises has occasioned among the:Prussians generally, and especially in the Prussian army, has now, however, ' reached a pitch at which no ono can answer for the results ; and since the Government has declared its final resolution to meet the emergency by a levy of nearly half a million of men, the idea of submission, or even of compromise, runs the greater risk of being spurned and scouted by a vain and irritated nation. It is now too late to reason with any effect on the causes which have long been tending to bring the state of Germany to this extremity. In no unfriendly spirit to that country, but on the contrary, with au earnest desire to promote its greatness and its peace, we have uniformly protested against the arrogant pre tensions and the impracticable schemes which were leading to the utter disunion of the Confederation. That disunion followed as the inevitable result of false projects of unity, which ignored or destroyed the independent rights of every state in the Confederation except Prussia; and from disunion and bickering we are now arrived at the most tormidable movements of armies which Europe has witnessed since 1815, whilst UN - many has seen her contending Princes and Mini,ters struggling for en audience and a decision in the antechamber of the Emperor of Russia! The honour of the country and of its bewildered rulers is touched to the quick, and they have to choose between the horrors of actual war, kindled by themselves in the heart of their own country and against no foreign enemy, or the igno miny .f a political defeat as deep as their ambition had been lofty and bold. In such a position men are prone to decide for the worst alternative, because it is that which is least galling to their vanity and least painful at the present moment. Tae precise casus belli which now threatens to divide Germany is the refusal of Prussia to acknowledge the authority of the Germa nic Confederation, as reconstituted at Frankfort; for whether she opposes that authority by her armies in the territory of Electoral Hesse, or whether she withdraws altogether from the Confederation, she manifestly commits a direct violation of all the treaties by which the Bund was formed in 1815 and more fully orga nized in 1820. The treaty of Bregenz—to which Prussia is not a party—appears to have provided that Austria, Bavaria, and Saxony will uphold and if ne cessary enforce the authority of the Confederation by force of arms, and the appeal of the Elector of I.les.e has given them a legal but a most unpopular and unfortunate occasion for asserting that authority. Prussia in opposing the forces of the Diet has in reality no tenable case at all, for we presume she does not insist on the validity of rights conferred by her extinct Union which the Hessian Govern ment had abandoned, and she has never pretended to interfere on behalf of the rights of the Hessian people. The menacing aspect of affairs has arisen purely from her own wayward conduct, and if war ensue the pretext for it on her side must be discovered afterwards. Her ill-judged and unnecessary advance into the disputed province has of course rendered her retreat more difficult, and may become the immediate cause of hostilities. But though we have long fore seen a very disastrous termination to the German policy of the Prussian Cabinet, which might beve been averted by the mere recognition of her federal obligations, there is little in the conduct of of her pre sent adversaries which commands our concurrence. They appear to he actuated by a bitter and vindictive spirit towards Prussia, which may be accounted for when we recal the policy of Prussia towards them selves in the last three years, but which nothing can justify; and if their object :really was the restora tion and reform of the Germanic Confederation that result might better have been obtained by conciliatory language and mutual concessions than by the hasty advance of huge armies. The lastintel ligence from Electoral Hesse confirms in great mea sure the conjectures we had made on the distribu tion of the troops. It turned out, as we had pre sumed, that the right wing. of the Bavarian army, under Prince Thurn and lan', was marching, by the pass beyond Bruckenau, upon Fulda, where it would have joined the corps from H anau ; b u t the Prussians, anticipating this movement, had advanced very rapidly to Fulda and beyond it, so that the outposts of the two armies came within cannon shot of one another, an d th e j unct i on of the two Bavarian corps was interc e pt e d. Th e l ast telegraphic dispatch from Berlin announces that an Austrian corps of Federal troops had entered the territory of Coburg from Bamberg, and is supposed to be desti ne d t o support t h e i nh ibi t i on of the Diet by marching to occupy and pacify Holstein. A corps Sc placed would p ossess it se lf o f th e p asses i n the Thuringian forest and b e p re p are d t o o p era t e on theimportant line of the Saale, by which Lannes ad vanced and where Prince Louis of Prussia fell before the battle of Jena. So that whether the Federal generals are merely preparing to execute the orders of the Confederation in Hesse and Holstein, or whe ther they contemplate the possibility of encountering a more formidabl e enemy, their dispositions indicate the plan of an extensive campaign. The effect of the last Prussian measure for calling the Land w ehr under arms will probably produce some decisive result at Vienna, Frankfort, and Munich, ,for it will be regarded as an act of defiance ; and whatever may be the next change in the fluctuating counsels of the King of Prussia, we entertain not the least expectation that the other Powers of Germany will abate one jot of the cause they have taken in hand. At any other time we should probably have regarded the position in which Prussia is now placed as a matter of serious concern to the continental interests of this country ; but it is, perhaps, fortunate for ourselves that neither of these contending parties has any claim on our sympathy. The intervention of the Diet in sup port of the Elector of Hesse is an insult to the people of Germany, and the conduct of Prussia in the Danish war has effectually deprived her of the support and approval of English statesmen. Our sympathy, our compassion, and our political interests are directed to the sufferin g an d di s t ra cted people of Germany, who are thus armed—state against state, and province THE BANQUET, Which usually forms the appropriate termination of the pageant and festivities that according to time honoured custom grace the inauguration of the new Lord Mayor, took place in the Guildhall, on Satur day night, and the whole of the details were carried out in a style of splendour and profuse liberality that has seldom been equalled, and never exceeded' in the voluminous records of civic festivity or muni cipal hospitality. The hall was as usual decorated with a number of flags and banners, and brilliantly illuminated by several immense chandeliers, aided by lines and festoons of gas jets, and an enormous star in gas at the west end of the hall, facirq the Lord Mayor's table, which poured a dazzling flood of light upon the brilliant scene. The guests began to arrive shortly after five o'clock, many of the most dis tinguished being received with loud cheers. The an nouncement of the name of Lord John Russell was hailed with a burst of enthusiastic cheering, which continued for some minutes, and Lord Palmerston, who skipped up the steps to the council-chamber with all the lightness and agility of a young man of five-and•twenty, appeared, from the plaudits with which he was greeted, to have also a large number of admirers in the hall. Nearly all the guests, from the Lord Mayor, in his plumed hat and state robes, to Mr. Harker, the City toastmaster, with his elaborate sash of green and gold satin, wore in full dress. At half-past six the procession moved from the council chamber to the Guildhall, betKied by the Lord Mayor and the civic functionaries, and pro- ceeded round the hall to the upper table. Amongst the company ranged around the principal tables we noticed the Right Hon. the late Lord Mayor, the Lord High Chancellor Baron Truro, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord John Russell, Viscount Palmerston, Sir Georye Grey, Bart., the Right Hon. Fox Maule, the American Minister, several of the Foreign Mi nisters, Lord Campbell, Sir John Jervis, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron and several of the members of the judicial bench, Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Milford, the Dean of St. Paul's, the Attorney and Solicitor. General, and a considerable number of members of the bar, with the Chairman of the East India Company, John Masterman, Esq., M.P., and many other influential noblemen and gentlemen. Behind the Lord Mayor's chair was a very hand some display of flags and banners, surmounted by an enormous Prince of Wales's plume ; the City sword and mace were crossed in the centre, and beneath were the words, in letters of gold, " God save the Queen." The tables were decorated'with a profusion of gold and silver plate, and interspersed with these were a variety of beautiful embellishments in patent glass silvering ware, such as were displayed at the York banquet. Among these were the ruby glass silvered salver, which contained the great Chatsworth pine placed before his Royal Highness Prince Albert at York ; the late Lord Mayor's emerald cup, with the private and City armorial bearings emblazoned on it. The present Lord Mayor was provided with a com panion cup, in this new-art manufacture, and the Lord Mayor and Le'dy Mayoress had each a finger-glass, the external surface of which was silvered, and the in ternal gilt, the novelty of which attracted much at tenon.d Besides minor globes, there were several vases of noble dimensions, silvered in various colours, and filled with rare exotics. The dinner, wines, and dessert were provided by Mr. Burrell, of the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge ; and as this is the first occasion on which he has catered for a civic banquet, we may state that it was got up in a style extremely creditable to his establishment. Although the Guild hall entertainments are usually upon a profuse and liberal scale, there are frequently great practical diffi culties found in attending to the wants of nearly 1,000 hungry guests; and it is on record that occa sionally some have actually starved in the midst of plenty. In this respect there was a striking improve ment on Saturday night. The attendants were nume rous, and skilful in their vocation ; and we believe none were " sent empty away." There was a military band stationed in the gallery, which played a variety of airs during the arrival of the guests, and while the Lord Mayor and the com pany were taking their seats at the upper table. After the cloth had been removed, and grace sung by the vocalists present, the loving cup was duly an nounced by Mr. Harker, and went round among the principal guests. The several toasts were heralded by a flourish of trumpets by Mr. Harper and Mr. Rawlings, the trumpet major of her Majesty's Second Life Guards. The LOUD MAYOR rose and said,—Nly Lords and Gentlemen,—l beg to give you as the first toast, " The Health of our Illustrious Sovereign," and I am sure you will all join with me in testifying your allegiance, and your loyalty and attachment to the Crown and person of our gracious lady the Queen. The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. When the National Anthem was sung, the company took advantage of the political reference in the second verse, and marked their approval of the sentiment by loud and hearty cheering. The next toast given by the Lord Mayor was "The Prince Albert, Prince of Wales, and the other branches of the Royal Family." This toast was also drunk with much enthusiasm. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—My Lords and Gentlemen,—lt becomes my pleasing duty now to bring under your notice the two great services of the country. lam sure you are not all unmindful of their great achievements and services in the time of war, and although we are now at peace, and desire to remain at peace, yet I think you will concur with me that we ought not to be unmindful of past ser vices, and that we ought to express our gratitude to those who have distinguished themselves in both ser vices. I giv e you "The Army and Navy," and I shall join with it the names of Captain Stuart and Sir John Burgoyne.—(Great cheering.) Captain STUART returned thanks on behalf of the service to which he belonged, and he thought it for tunate that in a company of Englishmen paration nor eloquence was necessary for the p perform anceere of the duty he was now called on to discharge, however incapable he might be of doing honour to it. —(Hear, hear.) " The Navy of England" had long been a popular toast, and ever would be among Eng lishmen. They were a nation of islanders, colonists, IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—AFFAIR OF HO NOUR BETWEEN THE MARVIS OF SLIGO AND Mr. HIGGINS, M.P.—A hostile meeting took place about half-past six o'clock this morning at the Fifteen Acres, in the Phcenix-park, between the Marquis of Sligo (who reached town yesterday from Westport house) and Mr. Ousely Higgins, M.P. for Mayo. The Noble Marquis was attended by Mr. Moore, M.P. for Mayo, as his second, and Captain Oakes of the 17th Lancers acted as the friend of Mr. Higgins. The parties had been placed on the ground, when the second of one of them squibbed a pistol prior to loading it. The noise alarmed a policeman stationed in the vicinity of the Viceregal Lodge, who came up, and all the prrties were taken into custody. In the course of the forenoon they were brought before Mr. O'Callaghan, the presiding magistrate at Henry-street police-office, who required the principles and their seconds to enter into securities to keep the peace, each of them in personal recognizances to the amount of 2001., and two secureties of 1001. each. The parties were then discharged. It appears that the cause of quarrel arose at a meet ing of the poor-law guardians of the union of West pot t, where the Marquis of Sligo made some objec tion to Mr. Ousely Higgins respecting his qualifica tion as an ex-officio guardian. That gentleman was not then present, but his father, Captain Fitzgerald Higgins, defended the qualification. Subsequently, Mr. Ousely Higgins forwarded a letter to Lord Sligo, containing language which was considered offensive. The result was a hostile message from the Noble Marquis, conveyed through Mr. Moore, M.P., and a meeting for this morning was fixed to take place at the Curragh of Kildare. The parties had arrived at the King's-bridge terminus, to start for Kildare by the half past six o'clock train, but it was then arranged that they should decide the quarrel in the Phcenix park, a short distance from the terminus, where the intervention of the police fortunately put an end to the affair.

The conduct of the Prussian Government has been, up to the last, so conciliatory, so humble, so abnegatory of even the necessary pride of a military nation, that however it may be charged with weakness, it certainly cannot be accused of arrogance or obstinacy. Still it would be unjust and untrue to consider the Prussian Govern ment as at one moment resigned to yield everything, and the next inspired by an access of enthusiasm and despair to dare resistance. It is nut true that in the cabinet councils, where these important questions were mooted, the King and his brother, and General Radowitz, were alone for armament and warlike demon;tration, the prudence and conservative resistance of Count Brandenberg and his col leagues dissuading them from such a course. Count Brandenberg, indeed, returned from War saw with the belief that he had arrived at en un derstanding with Austria, and that the conflicting pretensions of Diet and of Union being set aside, and referred for settlement in the future Conference, the temporary and subordinate questions of Hesse and Schleswig might have been brought to an amicable conclusion. Even when tidicgs were brought to Berlin that the Bavarian troops had entered Hesse and occupied Hanel', Count Brandenberg was not un willing to allow them tranquilly to do so, the Prus sian troops at the same time occupying the etapen strasse in the north of the electorate, this joint occu pation lasting till the Conference had fixed some mode of pacifying and doing justice to the country. But when Count Brandenberg learned that the inva sion had taken place in the name of the Confederation, and under the authority of that Frankfort Diet which he had been led at Warsaw to believe was suspended ; when these invading Bavarians summoned the Prussians to withdraw altogether and allow them to re-install the Elector without condition or consi deration, or accord, then Count Brandenberg declared himself as warmly for resistance and for arming as the King or General Radowitz himself. Count Bran denberg died in the declaration and conviction that the invasion of Hesse in the name of the Diet was a breach of the agreements of Warsaw, and that it was a coarse enforcement of conditions to which he had never consented. It was in fact but a question of time. There was no disputed point or rebellious province that could have outlasted or withstood the united opinions of every German power in a free Conference. To have awaited its decision would have secured order and peace, if not liberty. But Austria would not wait. Whether impelled by the warlike temper of its young Emperor, or by more insidious designs, it has pushed into Hesse, ordering the Prussians out of it, as a commander-in-chief might a corporal': guard, threatening, nay levying war, unless these insolent demands were complied with. Prussia could not yield to such mandates ; if she did, her very soldiers would not obey her. And if the news be true, con veyed in the latest telegraphic message of the Co logne Gazette, that the Austrians had entered Coburg, this is of itself a declaration of war. It is the in vasion of a state belonging to the Prussian union, the call of whose prince for defence and succour Prussia is bound to obey. Austria could only march into Coburg with the intention of directly provoking and of making war, the road through Coburg leading directly to Cassel, and menacing the rear of the Prussian force. The entrance of the Austrians into Coburg is war, and will be considered such. By the unanimous vote of .the Cabinet, and with the unanimous adhesion of the country, the Prussian landwehr has been called out, and the Cham bers convoked. These measures combined place the war, and the questions out of which it has arisen, before the Prussian, we may say, indeed, the German public. The spirit of the Parliament cannot be doubted. And in truth, the Prussian landwehr is another Parliament, the most formidable and powerful representation of a country that was ever invented. Henceforth, whatever be done must be nptional ; war will be carried on with national spirit, and peace must be concluded to national satisfaction. If at this crisis of affairs we are seriously asked, or should ask ourselves, whether war be inevitable, we can only answer, that war or peace depends upon the acts and upon the motives of Austria, and above all of Russia. If the purpose of these countries he peace, Prussia will no doubt keep it. Prussia can have no motive for war but self-preservation. Over matched and awed by the formidable coalition of the two Emperors, into which France and England were partially drawn, Prussia prudently bowed before such a combination—has yielded, and would yield, all that would not absolutely sacrifice the honour, and with it the duration, of the monarchy. If, however, the secret purpose of Russia is to place the two Ger man powers in hostile conffct, nu doubt sbe can sue-. ceed ; and England and France have taken no step to prevent her. It is well known and agreed upon, that in the event of Austria's going to war, Russia is to occupy Gallicia, and Hungary, and even 'Vienna, once more with her troops. If the result of that war should be a defeat of the Austrians, and a destruction of their military power, Russia would thereby inherit and retain the possession of Hungary and Gallicia. For who could then fix a term for Russia's evacuating them ? If Prussia was beaten, Austria might be allowed to keep Silesia, and cede Gallicia to Russia. Or, perhaps, further carving or partition might take place. War in central Europe, split up as that coun try is into empires without rights, institutions, fron tiers, or popular attachment, is in fact converting the whole region into a great political gambling table, on which kingdoms, provinces, and populations may be won or lost. Such a game at present would in all probability tend to the ad vantage of Russia, and to the total disappearance of any check or counterbalance to her in the East. Heaven knows that this is sufficiently the case al ready, since the total destruction of Hungary and Poland as nations. To see Germany threatened by the same fate, her Princes appearing as supplicants at the gates of the Czar's palace in Warsaw, is more alarming than anything that has happened in Europe for centuries. For if Germany prove unable to with stand the Colossus, it will fall with its full weight upon France and upon us, annihilating the entire li berties and independence of Europe. In this critical state of things we do think that the British Govern ment ought to come forward with a frank opinion on this new system of destroying all constitutional go vernment. That Austria should once more call in Russian troops to occupy her provinces and cities, and resort to this extreme merely for the purpose o f crushing and punishing the most legal and constitu tional resistance that was ever offered to an arbitrary and extravagant Prince—this is so contrary to the treaty of Vienna, which promised constitutions to the states of Germany, and to the entire spirit and stipulations of that great accord, that England is pe culiarly called on to raise at least its voice in behalf of European independence and legal right.
