Mr. TITS, at the request of the Chairman, entered into 4 statement as to the condition of the Taw Vale Railway. Mr. Thomas Brassey, the c ,, ntractor, was en tering upon a lease for seven yeas, at 12,0001. a year for that line when completed. This fact was a proof that the line would reciter° itself; and that it was practicable to do so they had the proof in the approval that had been given to the proposition by the mercantile men of Manchester and Liverpool. They had already advanced 70,0001.—they were required to give' 28,0001. in rails to complete the line, and tor that thy would have 2i per cent. for their 100,000/. By doing this they were sure to be paid something; by declining - to do it, they lost what they had already advanced. - After a few words from Lord , Mont..Ev in explanation, and some observations made by Mr. Serjeant GASELEE, as to the Taw Va'e, Exeter; and Crediton, and Bristol and Exeter Railway Companies, A DIRECTOR mentioned that their precise position was this:—The existing liabilities were.. 141,000/. on 7,080 shares. About one-half had been paid. It wee pro posed to reduce the shares from 201. to 161. In that case their liabilities would be=within 13,0001. In case that 13,0001. had to'he paid, .still they would get 2i per cent. on the whole of their capital. If 30,0001. worth of rail way, now lying unproductive, were sold, it would not bring more than 25,000/., on which ill they could have was 4 per cent.; whereas, by the plan proposed by the directors, they would get 8 per cent. The amendment was then put, and only three ap peared in favour of it. _ _ Published by ROSS and SONS, Perruquiers, Perfumers, flair Cutters, and Hair Dyers, V% 110 solicit attention to their British and Foreign Perfumery, Soaps, Brushes, Dressing Cases, Strops, Cutlery (parti . pul,rly their Registered Guard Razor, which prevents any one cutting himself), Hair Dye, Ornamen•al Ilair, &e.

Mr. Sergeant GASELEE proposed another amendment: —"That, as the resolution proposed cannot have any effect, this meeting declines interfering." Fur this amendment only five voted. The original resolution was then put, and agreed to. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE desired to know how many of those present who had voted fi r the resolution belonged to the Taw Vale Company ! Upon a suggestion from Mr. TITE the members stood up, and there appeared to be but four present--two di rectors and two proprietors. The fourth resolution was then proposed, and agreed to unanimously. The next resolution, suggesting that the company should become their own insurers against fire, and thus save 1,2001. a year, led to a desultory conversation, which resulted in the adoption of the resolution. A very general fading was manifested that the whole sum of 1,2001. should be left to accumulate for the secu rity of the company. Two of the Proprietors then strongly condemned the practice of Sunday excursion trains, which had given great offence in Salisbury and other places. The CHAIRMAN stated the subject was under the con sideration of the directors. It was their wish to pro mote excursion trains on the week-days. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday a special genetal meeting of the share holders was held in the company's board-room, at Nine Elms, Vauxhall. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by W. J. Chaplin, Esq., M.P. The Secretary then read the report, with respect to which the special general meeting had been summoned. At the request of the Chairman the Secretary made a resolution setting forth with more particularity than had been stated in the report the various items with re spect to the Taw Vale Railway. The CHAIRMAN then stated that he did not feel called upon to make any observations with respect to the report. The first resolution that had to be proposed was that it should be received and entered upon the minutes.

The small attendance of proprietors at that meeting showed that there was no indisposition to act upon the suggestions of the directors. He seconded the motion for the reception of the report. The motion was passed with one dissentient. The second resolution, which was to the effect that the directors be authorised to proceed with the branch to Alton on the terms stated in the report was then moved. Mr. TAYLOR seconded the resolution. Sir E. JARVIS was opposed to this resolution. At their last meeting some very strong observations had been made as to the closing of the capital account; and at the same time observations had been made as to the injury that had been done to the company by the exten sion of branch lines. Instead of these branch lines being feeders to the whole line, they had proved to be ex hausters to the main line.—(tlear.) Any extension, then, of a branch line in the present depressed state of the company appeared to be unnecessary.—(Hear.) In the last few mouths there had been a little increase to their traffic, and their dividends were, probably, better; but upon such a little "spurt" as this, as he might call it, they were not to venture upon so important an under taking as that now proposed to them. Then let them look to their liabilities for steam navigation. As pro prietors they were only losers, whilst their directors stood iu the light of holders in steam companies. The CHAIRMAN called Sir E. Jarvis Co order. The subject now mooted was not one for discussion at a spe cial 'netting. A PROPRIETOR considered they had a right to discuss the whole policy of the company. A s,cond PROPRIETOR remarked it was a special sub ject for a special meeting. Sir E. JARVIS considered it was important for them to know whether they were in a position to proceed with a branch line. They had expended 50,000/ or t.teainers. What had become of tha rotten steam boats ? They had farmed branch lines and had no profits from them. Was it not folly then to proceed with others? It was only ruining themselves. With 80 miles oi railway alotio their revenue was nearly as great us with their numerous brunches. Their dividends were deervaiing and their liabilities were increasing. Why, then, per sist in going on in this way head over heels ? Why perpetuate a system that must end in a general break-up? Mr. Sergeant GASELEE remarked that their usual time of meeting was iu November; why was this meet ing held at a time when so many proprietors must be out of 1,00(1011 ? The CHAIRMAN replied that they had to give notices to Parliament, which would admit of no further delay. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE continued by saying that he regarded their proceeding further with any branch lines as an absolute act 01 madness. Their line to Guildford and Farnham and Alton would not pay one farthing. He remembered when the branch was first proposed there was a great boast made to them of Crowley's Alton ale.—(Laughter.) Where did Alton lead to ? to Basingstoke—but they had a station at Basing stoke; but then it might be said, Alton led to Win chester, and they had already a station at Winchester. lie complained of the directors that they did not turn their attention to the closing of the capital account. They ought to do this now, for they had already esta blished their reputation in making branch lines which paid nothing.—(Laughter.) Let them, he said, be satis fied with the first loss. He called upon the proprietors to resist this proposition—it was an attempt to get the wedge in. 'There were many interested iu getting up these lines and incurring these expenses, and such would support the propositions. lie now moved, as an amend ment, "That this meeting regrets that the directors have not realised the hopes given in their financial statement of November, 1848, and requests the immediate atten tion of the board to so desiruele au object." Mr. PORTER seconded the amendment. Mr. TRIMMING opposed the amendment. Although no; a resident of Alton, he knew something of its poL,i atm. Its population was about 4,000, and within a cir cuit of eight miles round it there were some 20 or 30 villages, making in al a population of about 20,000. The people of Alton had been promised a branch line, and if this company did not fulfil the promise, the South- Eastern Company would, and then they might feel the loss of letting an enemy into their country. They did not know what amount of damage it might cause them. Ile believed the directors had decided wisely in pro ceeding with the Alton branch. A PROPRIETOR called upon the chairman to explain their position with respect to this branch. Were the di rectors all agreed about it? The CHAIRMAN said that he believed all his colleagues in the board felt with him on this: subject. He would freely say this—that if they bad to begin that day the Alton line would not be contemplated. But they were now differently circumstanced, for if the uncompleted Fortiori of the line were now abandoned the company would have to pay a considerable sum in making settle ments with the contractors and landowners, in addition to the 49,0001. which had been 'diesel) , expended.— (Hear.) It had been proved before Parliament that there was traffic enough to pay for a double line, and now it was proposed to finish the line so as to make productive what had been spent. Unfortunately, the Reading and Reigate line bud been taken up by the South-Eastern Company, and he had reason to believe it had proved an unproductive line. It had been frankly admitted to him by the chairman of the company that it would be their business to prove themselves troublesome neighbours to the South-Western, so as to induce it to take up their line. If the Alton line, under those circumstances, were not taken up by this company, it would be proceeded with by that, and that, too, when the latter had everything to gain, and the South-Western everything to lose.—(Hear.) If they had to begin with it that day he was sure the di rectors would not listen to any such preposition. With these explanations he left the matter in the hands of the proprietors to deal with it as they thought proper, and to say whether any money should be ex pended or not.—(Hear.) A PROPRIETOR considered that the extension to Alton was one of the most mischievous propositions that could ever come before them. The real intention was to go on to Chichester, and consequently to Portsmouth. He maintained, too, that it was not a single line that was contemplated, but a double line. The amendment of Mr. Sergeant Gaselee was then put and negatived, as ten proprietors only voted in favour of it. The original resolatiou was then put and carried, three only voting a4ainst it. Mr. Sergeant G A SELEE proposed the of poll itnoduatiotunturoef day— p Mr. po h s e itio s n u b w s e ti ( c u h e , n t o l y n adjournment '' Ray r - o , withdrew. The next resolution, expressive of the approval of the propositions resenting the arrangements with the. Taw Vale Itanway Ct)mpany, was met by an amendment on the part of Mr. b,rgeant GASLLEF, that "a committee be uppinnted to consider their rtilations with the Taw Vale Railway, and to report to a future meeting on the subject." Th e CHAIRMAN stated that there was no time for that adjournment, as notices were to be given to Far liAmenr. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE c?iitended that an injunction would stop their proceeding altogether. Tney had already advanced 70001. to a company that he believed to Lu irretrievably bankrupt. He then recapitulated THE GREAT WESTERN. There has been a controversy with regard to excur sion trains, and some memorials, &c., have been pre sented to the Great Western Company on the subject. A short letter was published some days since from the secretary to the Bishop of Oxford, acknewlodging th e receipt of a memorial from Oxford. The subject has now undergone consideration, and the result has been communicated to a clergyman at Bristol who was the medium of communication from the Bishop and clergy there. The following letter has been written for the purpose of making known the sentiments of the board after reconsidering the subject:— " Rev. Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 3d inst., I am desired to inform you that since the receipt of the memorial from the Lord Bishop of the diocese, and other clergymen residing in and near Bristol, as well as similar memorials aad letters from others, the directors have felt it their dnty to reconsider the whole subject of Sunday excursion trains. "It may be here mentioned that the consent of this company to provide occasional trains of that description was only given after experience had shown that there was, on the part of persons employed incessantly in shops or factories during every other day in the week, a grow ing requirement for relaxation during the Sunday, by passing it either at the seaside or iu the country, instead of remaining to spend both their time and their money ut some suburban tavern. " With one or two exceptions every metropolitan railway company had cff .riled the facility of cheap trains to the trading and poorer classes, whose subsistence depen is on their continued labour from the Monday morning until Saturday night, to enable them to quit London early on tha Sunday morning and return home at night. "It had been ascertained that persons re s orting to those trains conducted themselves fur the most part dur ing the Sabbath with exemplary decorum and propriety. Many who while in Lordon never quitted their rooms to attend Divine service were known to go to church in the country; attracted to it, there can be little doubt, in numerous instances, by relations or friends, whom they were enabled to visit by means of those cheap fares. A decided improvement, not only in the character and habits, but also in the hee i lth o f t h e industrial classes of the metropolis, has been r emar k ed as mainly to be opportunity of ch ange and relaxation af fordedasc r ascribed db by to that the o system. p " The directors having satisfied themselves that such cheap trains were alike beneficial to the company and conducive to the welfare of those c l asses (peculiarly en titled,gatory as other co mpan i es did, the only upon the ta to accord the same fa cility public as they conceive, to every suc h consideration), thought to itthoebli means of travelling into the west of England being ex clusively under their control. lections u rge d aga i nst such to in th e memor i als, I am ~ After a v e ry careful delib erat i on of the matter, desired to acquaint you that the di rectors cannot w t r e a l i l n t s h , e a s v a a r d i v o c u r s te o d b per ceive in them sufficient grounds t o j ust i fy the reversal excursion of their former determination. Entertaining very high respect for the motives and feelings of all who have signed those representations, they regret that it is not consistent with their sense of duty to withhold from the trading and working population of this country such so cial and moral benefits and relaxation from their daily labour as railways can alone confer by a system of cheap trains—calculated as they believe such excursions are to promote a better observance rather than a dese cration of the Sabbath by those who do not wilfully misuso them.

Poitevin gives the following account of his balloon ascent on Sunday : —" We left the Hippodrome at half- past five o'clock, and soon found ourselves above the Champ-de-Mars about 2,000 yards in height. The ccld became very sharp, and our three intrepid 'Fines de l'Air,' whose courage did not fail a single instant, began to discover that their costumes, very pretty, but rather two aerial, were not precisely travelling_ dresses for such high regions, and they felt a strong desire to abdicate their divine role, and return tl the car to chang e their dresses of lace and muslin for clothing much warmer; although Fines de l'Air,' their teeth began to chatter. w e put the mechanism, which is as simple as it is solid, in snor e _ ment, and the travellers returned to the car, where they quickly exchanged their clothes. Our balloon had twice been in cold clouds, and we lost sight of the earth; but the wind brought us over Paris, and we passed over the Pan. theon, the Jardin-des-Plants, and the Fort of Villejuif. By this time the ladies had completed their toilette—a stran ge operation at such a height. The night having begun to ap proach, I effected my descent without the slightest shock."-.....

It was but natural tf at this example should be followed by the great corpora tions of the empire, and, after some correspondence en the subject, the notion which originated with the Lord Mayor of York of giving a return banquet was considered and discussed at a meeting of the mayors and other civic authorities at Derby, when it was resolved that a sub scription should be entered into for the purpose of enabling the Lord Mayor of York, in conjunction with the municipalities of the United Kingdom, to re ceive the Prince Consort and the Lord Mayor of London on a scale of becoming magnificence. The subscriptions flowed in rapidly and fully, though there were some de faulting bodies, which suffered accordingly in the rejec tion of their tardy money. At last the invitations were issued for the 25th of October, and M. Soyer was en gaged for many days previously in preparing those won derful combinations which delight the eye and the palate alike, and have secured for him so high a place among the gastronomic worthies of the world. The invitations were eagerly and fully accepted, and every effort was made to render the banquet worthy of the givers and of the recipients. Nearly 100 mayors and heads of boroughs declared their intention to be present, and it soon became evident that the Guildhall would be tested to the utmost in order to afford adequate accommodation to all those who were derirous of taking part in the proceedinge. All its spacious accommodations failed to give room to more than 240 guests, and as places were eagerly sought after it became difficult to make seselection satisfactory to all. York, the home of the Roman Emperors, when London was comparatively neglected by the masters of the ancient world, made a display worthy of the far-famed city which gave a grave to Severus and to Constantine Chlo rus, and afforded a rallying cry to the haughty factions which fought for the English throne, and well was she represented by her chief magistrate. For two or three days past the inhabitants of the surrounding districts have been pouring into the city, so as to fill all the hotels to overflowing; while the nobility and gentry sent in their carriages to add to the number of handsome equipages which filled the streets of " horse renowned" York. When it was understood that Prince Albert had intimated to the Lord Mayor that he would not take any of the royal vehicles, and that he therefore must trust to his Lordship for a conveyance, several of the noblemen and gentlemen in the vicinity sent in applications to be allowed to place their carriages at his Royal Highness's disposal, and in such an embarrassment of riches the Lord Mayor acted on the maxim "first come first served" and gave the preference to Lord Wenlock, whose offer came in before any other. The Lord Mayor of London and suite left on Thurs day, at halt-past nine o'clock, and by special train on the North-Western line (and Midland), and with the . Lady Mayoress, the Rev. C. Marshall (Chaplain), Miss Stone, Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, the Sword, Bearer, Mace Bearer, Cryer, &c., arrived in about four hours and three quar ters at York, where ,after a short delay on the part of the Lord Mayor of York, who was not pre pared for such extraordinary speed on the part of the railway authorities. They were received by his Lord ship, and conveyed to the Mansion house, whence they retired to their private apartments when they had par taken of his Lordship's hospitality. By the evening and night trains a great number of the guests and of strangers, anxious to be present on the oc casion arrived, and their numbers were increased by con tinual accessions to-day, till the city, in spite of bad weather, storm, and rain, presented an appearance of great animation. The Mansion-house was the centre of attraction. Redecorated for the occasion, with all its golden lions re-gilt, its paint renewed, and fresh as when, some hundred years ago, the archi tect gave it the finishing touch, it would, perhaps, have been but little regarded but for the concourse of illustrious strangers within its walls. M. Soyer him self, " heavy with cares of state and thoughtsof gravy," flickered to and fro like great Turenne on the eve of some fatal field, swaying crowds of solemn-looking and strangely-attired cooks, who stalked backwards and for wards with the chef cfceuvres of their art. Police-con stable kept watch and ward over entremetr, rAumes, and hors d'oeuvre, and a good-natuted mob familiar with the simple, dishes of their district, were rich in criticism, which, howeier, lacked the test of experience on the ec centric viands before them; that they were some of them not only eccentric, but costly, may be guessed from the fact that one dish, to which turtle, ortolans, and other rich denizens of land and sea had contributed, cost not less than 1001. Previous to the general presentation before the ban quet, the Lady Mayoress, Mrs. Sladen, and Mrs. Dolby, had the honour of being presented to his Royal High ness. The Lord Mayor of London, with his secretaries and chaplain, arrived in York on Thursday, and a considerable number of the provincial mayors also came in the course of the day. The inns were very full, and it was difficult for late comers, who had not secured accommodation, to obtain it. This morning brought fur ther arrivals, and between three and four o'clock Lord J. Russell, the Earl of Carlisle, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir G. Grey, Earl Fitzwilliam, and other persons of distinction, came in by the trains then reach ing York. The directors of the York and North Mid land line proceeded to Normanton to meet Prince Al bert, and escort him along their line. The train which brought his Royal Highness dashed into the station shortly before tour o'clock, the journey froth London by the North-Western and Midland lines having been performed, we believe, in four hours and a half, or within two minutes of that time. We observed the Marquis of Abercorn at the station, and Colonel the Hon. C. Grey and Colonel the Hon. F. Se) mour in at tendance upon the Prince. A guard of honour was platform. His Royal Hi g h ness was re drawn up on the ceived by the Lord Mayor of York me alighting, and was conducted to Lord Wenlock's carriage, which was in waiting, and in which the Prince drove to the Man sion-house, attended by an esc _krt of the 2d Dragoon Guards. His Royal Highness was enthusiastically cheered by the people. The Hall, which is a fine old Gothic apartment of the 15th century, was decorated with great taste, under the superintendence of Meters. Nutt and Walker. At oce end was placed the principal table, in a semicircular form, five tables, stretching at right angles to the base of it, being destined for the rest of the guests. These all shone with epergnes, plateaux, centre pieces heaped up with pines, grapes, and the richest fruit, with silver plate, beneath innumerable lights. Among the embel lishments were various productions in patent glass sil vering, prepared expressly fur the occasion, as being peculiarly appropriate to a festival to celebrate the ap proaching congress of the artistic industry of nations. These specimens consisted of gilt, silvered, and bronzed figures, bearing large globes of silvered glass, on whose surfaces the whole scene was vividly reflected in minia ture. Two highly-chased salvers, on pedestals, at the head of the centre table, in ruby glass, the inner sur faces being variegated by the application of the silvering process, were very beautiful. There were also three superb drinking cups, one for his Royal High ness Prince Albert, and one. each for the Lord Mayors of London and York, the first in ruby glass, portions of the stem and base internally checkered with silver, and on the sides bear ing beautiful white sunken medallions of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the Royal Arms of Eng land. The other two cups were of the same size and shape, but instead of being ruby and silver the colours were emerald and silver: and on the sides were the pri vate arms of each of the Lord Mayors, together with the usual heraldic emblazonneents of the cities of Lon don and York respectively. The uncertainty of the Lord,Mayor of Dublin's arrival prevented a cup being prepared for him. The roof, sides, and pillars glittered with civic banners, for the most part finished with great beauty and formed of the richest materials, soft silks and glistening satins, whereon were displayed arms, devices, and heraldic bearings, each one of which had its peculiar history and significance; the banner of York was worked by the Lady Mayoress, and was conspicuous to the right of the chair. Behind the chair was placed an emble matical device representing Britannia in her conven tional attire receiving the industrial products of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America at the base of a palm tree, on the branches of which rested the arms of the city of London, while the shields of York and of the most im portant cities and towns of the kingdom surrounded medallion portraits of the Queen and Prince Alb er t, plaeedin the centre of the decoration. At each side of the portraits were emblematical figures of Ireland and Scot land, crowned by the Prince of Wales's plume, supported by cupids holding garlands of white and red roses, and surmounted by the Royal Arms. In front of the principal table, on a raised dais or platform, covered with purple cloth, was placed, in fanci ful and elegant arrangement, a collection cf maces, state swords, and valuable civic insignia, belonging to the various corporate bodies, of all sizes and forms, varying in shape, ornaments, and design---some, indeed, almost grotesque in their antiquity. They presented, never theless, a rich coup piled across in careful confu sion, and wreathed with flowers and rare evergreens, through which there gleamed the bosses and incrusta tions of gold on the ancient maces, which had been wielded by generations of mayors, with the velvet sheaths and gaudy mountings of gigantic swords of state. The splqndid honours borne by the chief magistrate of London were no t added till the banquet had commenced; but the ancient city of Norwich crowned the gaudy grouping with its jewel bestudded mace—a present from Queen Bess herself, The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr. T.

After grace had been pronounced at the close as at the beginning of the banquet by the Rev. Canon Trevor, " the loving cup" was passed round, af,er the usual greeting delivered in the name of the Lord Mayor to all his guests, in the usual civic fashion, by Mr. Harker, the London toastmaster, and a flourish of trumpets. The less said about the singing the better. The CHAIRMAN—May it please your Royal Highness, my Lord Mayor, my lords, and gentlemen,. the first toast which, as chairman of this large and important assemblage, it is my duty as well as my privilege to propose to you, is one which will bo anticipated by all who hear me.—(Loud cheers.) The first thought which naturally springs from the inmost recesses of a Briton's heart on these festive occasions, when warm e d w i t h so cial intercourse and genial cheer, we naturally turn our thoughts to all that are nearest and dearest to us, is a cordial and heartfelt aspiration for the health and hap piness of that beloved Sovereign under whose mild and benignant sway those comforts and blessings are con tinued to us. The days of chivalry, as it was remarked by an eminent departed statesmen, are indeed gone by, when a thousand swords would have leaped from their scabbards to avenge the slightest injury or insult offered to a Queen, but there are yet thousands and tens of thousands of honest hearts and hands on Britain's soil— ayel and amongst those whose hands are better used to spade, to plough, to shuttle, and to loom than to war riors' steel, who would to the best of their ability and power rally rou n d t h e person an d t h e throne of Queen Victoria.—(Loud ch eers .) I s h a ll th ere f ore conc l u d e b y giving—" The health of our gracious Queen, and long may she reign over u s ."—(Tremendous and conti n ued cheering and applause.) As soon as the cheering bad subsided, The CHAIRMAN again rose and said,—ln the presence of the august personage who has this day honoured us with his company, I feel considerable difficulty in saying all which my feflings would prompt me to; but I trust I carry the feelings of all this large assembly along with me when I say that the claims of his Royal Ilighn?ss to the gratitude and affection of the people of this his adopted country from the first of his appearance amongst us are founded on this pure and worthy idea, and is that, whilst carefully abstaining from interfering in the poli tical contests of the day, he has never shrunk from coming forward as befits his high station, his distin guished character, and his eminent abilities in the pro motion of any scheme which has for its object the fur therance of the social, the agricultural, or the commer cial interests of the country.—(Loud cheers.) In the language of the Romans of old, it might well be said of his Royal Highness—Cwsorem posies et fel-tunas suns— " You carry the hopes and fortunes of Britain with you."—(Cheers.) I believe I express the feelings of 'his meeting and of the country when I say that since he first appearance of his Royal Highness among us .e has entitled himself in every place to she gra itude, as ho has endeared himself to the aff-ettons of the people .of this country.—(Loud cheers.) Hi s claims are founded on this sure and certa i n i basis, that while wisely abstaining from mixing in sensible cf your kindness in proposing my health, and I beg you, gentlemen, to believe that I feel very deeply your demonstrations of goodwill and cor diality towards myseh. I assure you that I fully reci procate these sentiments, cud that it has given me sin cere pleasure to meet you, the representatives of all the important towns of the kingdom, again assembled at a festive board, in token of the unity and harmony of feeling which prevails amongst those whom you reere sent, and on %%tech, I am persuaded, the latippiaess arid well-being of the country so materially depends.— (Lew' cheers.) It was an idea honourable at once to s the liberality and t h e discernment f the Lord Mayor o p f ita L b o ie nd r t o tn of, to b, i fo n r v e ite ye eu-oustatrotead in e the ie i e m bunder his hos- un dertaking upon which you were going to enter— (Cheers)—when, according to ancient custom, the loving cup went round, it was a pledge you gave each other, that, whatever the rivalries of your different localities might be, you would iu the approaching con test all act and appear as one, repieseetieg your country at the gathering of the products of the nations of the earth.—(Loud cheers.) I see, by your anxiety to return, before your terms ot office shall have expired, the compliment which Linden has pard you, that you personally appreciate to its full extent the intention of its chief magistrate, and you could not have selected a better place for your meeting than this venerable city, which is so much connected with the recollections and the history of the empire, and is now prominent in the centre of a district in which a high state of agriculture is blended with the most extensive production of maim factures.—(Loud and continued cheering.) But 1 see likewise, in your anxiety to meet us, her Majesty's Commissioners, again, a proof of your earnest and con tinued zeal in the cause of the approaching exhibition it could not be by the impetus of a momentary enthusiasm, but only by a steady perseverance and sus tained efforts, that you could hope to carry out your great undertaking, and insure for your selves and the nation an honourable position in the comparison which you have invited.—(Cheers.) If to cheer you on in your labours, by no means termi nated, you should require an assurance that that spirit of activity and perseverance is abroad in the country, I can give you that assurance, on the ground of the infor mation which reaches us frcm all quarters, and I can add to it our personal conviction, that the works in pre paration will be such as to dispel any apprehension for the position which British industry will maintain.— (Loud applause.) From abroad also all accounes which we receive lead us to expect that the works to be sent will be numerous and of a superior character. Although we perceive in some countries an apprehen sion that the advantages to be derived from the exhibi tion will be mainly reaped by England, and a consequent distrust in the effects of our scheme upon their own inte rests, we must, at the same time, freely and grat e f u lly acknowledge that our invitation has been received by all nations with whom communication was possible in that spirit if liberality and friendship in which it was ten dered, and that they are making great exertions and in curring great expenses in order to meet our plans.— (Cheers.) Of our own doings at the Commission I should have prefered to remain silent; but I cannot let this op portunity pass without telling you how much benefit we have derived in our difficult tabours from your uninter rupted confidence in the intentions, at least, which guided our decisions; and that there has been no difference of opinion, on any one subject, between us and the local committees, which has nor, upon personal consultation, and after open explanation and discussion, vanished and given way to agreement and identity of purpose.—(Hear, near, and cheers.) (His Royal Highness, after a short pause, proceeded with evident emotion.) There is but one alloy to my feelines of satisfaction and pleasure in seeing you here assembled again; and that is the painful remembrance that one is missing from amongst us who felt so warm an interest in our scheme, end took so active a part in promoting its success; the last act of whose public life was attending at the Royal Commis sion; the admiration for whose talents and character, and the gratitude for whose devotion to the Queen, and private friendship towards myself, I feel a con solation in. having this public opportunity to express.— (Sensation and low murmurs of approbation.) Only et our last meeting we were still admiring his eloquence, and the earnestness with which he appealed to you to uphold, by your exertions and personal sacrifices, what was to him the highest object—the honour of his coun try.—(Hear, hear.) He met you the following day, to gether with other commissioners, to confer with you upon the details of our undertaking, and you must have been struck, as everybody has been who has had the be nefit of his advice upon practical points, with the atten tion, care, and sagacity with which he treated the mi nutest details (Cheers) proving that, to a great mind nothing is little—(Cheers)—from the knowledge that, in ;the moral and intellectual, as iu the physical world, the smallest point is only a link in that great chain, and holds its appointed place in that great whole which is governed by the Divine wisdom.—(Loud cheers and applause.) The constitution of Sir Robert Peers mind was peculiarly that of a statesman, and of an English statestnae.—(Cheers.) He was liberal from leeling, but conservative upon principle.—(Continerd cheers.) Whilst his impulse drove him to foster pro gress, his sagacious mind and great experience showed him how easily the whole machinery of a state and of society is deranged, and how important, but how difficult, also, it is to direct its farther development in accordance with its fundam , •ittal principles, like organic growth in nature.—(Loud cheers.) It was also peculiar to him that, in great things, as in small, all the difficult:es and objections occurred to him first. He would anxiously consider them, pause, and warn against rash resolutions; but having convinced himself, atter long and careful investigation, that a step was not only right to be taken, but of the practical mode also of safely taking it, it be came to him a necessity and a duty to take it.—(Cheers.) All his caution and apparent timidity changed into coursge and poser of action, and, at the same time, readiness to make any personal sacrifice which its exe cution might demand.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, if he has had so great an influence over this country, it was from the nation recogn'zieg in his qualities the true type of One English character, which is essentially practical. Warmly attached to his institutions, and revering the bequest left to him by the industry, wisdom, and piety of his forefathers, the Englishman attaches little value to any theoretical scheme.—(Cheers.) It will attract his at tention only after having been f r some time placed be fore him; it must have been thoroughly investigated and discussed before he will entertain ir. Should it be an empty theory it will fall to the ground during this time of probation. Should it survive this trial it will be on account of the practical qualities contained in it; but its adoption in the end will entirely depend upon its har monizing with the national feeling, the historic develop ment of the country, and tee peculiar nature of her in stitutions.—(Loud cheers.) I: is owing to these national qualities that this favoured land, whilst constantly pro gressing, has still preserved the integrity of her Consti tution from the earliest times, and has been protected from wild schemes, whose chief charm lies in their no velty, whilst around us we have seen, unfortunately, whole nations distractee, and the very fabric of society endan gered trom the levity with which the result of the ete perience of generations, the growth of ages, has been thrown away to give place to temporarily favourite ideas.—(Cheers.) Taking this view of the character of our country, I was pleased when I saw the plan of the Exhibitiou of ISSI undergo its ordeal of doubt, discus sion, and even opposition; and I hope that I may now gather from the energy and earnestness with which its execution is pursued, teat the nation is convinced that it accords with its interests and the position which Eng • land has taken in the world.—(His Royal Highness re sumed his seat amid a vei.ement burst ot applause, which was repeated again and again with the greatest fervour.) The Lord Mayor of YORK, in giving " The health of the Archbishop and Clergy," said,—ln an assembly like the present. comprising no doubt men of different poll-. thrill as well as religious cmcds, I do not call up o n yo u to join in the toast - I am now about to propose as bind ing your full concurrence in every particle of that sys tem of religion which I firmly believe to be the best calculated under all circumstances to promote eta° growth and permanency of religion in the country; but I call upon you to unite in wishing the health of a body of men who, as a part, at least, of that great social fabric which has hitherto withstood the storms and tempests which have convulsed other coun tries—(ber, hear)—have on. the whole fulfilled the duties of their several stations most exemplarily and sa tisfactorily.—(llear, hear.) His Grace the Archbishop, who honours us with his presence, will forgive me saying that his unwearying kindness, his unceasing endeavours to promote peace and goodwill among his pastoral charge, and his earnest desire to spread far and wide sound knowledge and education throughout his extended diocese, demand our warmest acknowledgments. The Archbishop of YORK rose to return thanks—My Lord Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen, it would be un pardonable in me to occupy the time of this important and brilliant meeting further than, in the name of the clergy of the diocese of York and in my own name, to thank you for the kind notice you have been pleased to take of us. As to the magnificent project connected with this day's assemblage, I—speaking as an individual —regard it as likely to promote that peace and har mony among ourselves, and that good understanding among the different nations of the earth, which it is the bounden duty of clergymen to preach and to encourage, and I therefore hope that it may have the greatest success that its illustrious pro jector can possibly desire.—(Cheers.) As to my brethren in the Chuich, many of whom I have the hap piness to see present, I have no doubt that all of those who occasionally visit the metropolis for purposes of pleasure or of business 3 ear by year will on the ensuing weetiis be found wending tilde way to the capital, to see with their own eyes ttio wonders which the Exhibi tion ot 1551 promises to bring forth. In conclusion, I h can only bay I thank you for the honour you have done us. - The Lord Mayor of YORK Rare " The Army and Navy," mid saki—l trust, ft, ntlem, , n, that thirty years of on',mparative peace arid trarquiflity have not oblite rated from our ma:norms the tervices of those gallant re , !ti who hate upheld tte gloriuus standard of old England—(Cheers) —which hs " Braved a tho usand years The battle and the breeze." —(Rcrewed cheers.) While w•e indulge tbe fervent hope that their active services mzy not again be speedily required, yPt ever and anon the rumbling of the distant thunder, and the flashing of the lightning through the yet far distant cloud, warns us to consider that the tern. pest, of which a few scattered drops occasionally hate
