BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate Of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive of egaxcess ns. It ndul un- fort una tely happens that the unhappy victim Or ive i gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence. which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

They so per. fectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ; THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE COLOUR or DECAY, and will be found very superior to any Teeth ever before used. This method does not &mire the extraction of roots or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and masti cation ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within re. ch of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes. and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Gemstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the intormers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1325 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by 'ferries, I -' sq., to Ur. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government It is obliged to be stamped.

Even where we find ourselves surpassed by others, still, having before our eyes the specimens of their ex cellences, let me say that the English artizana will net be slow to apprehend, to imitate, and in a very abort time to exceed them.—(Hear, hear.) - Before I sit down I may bo permitted to say etc word. to: those repre sentatives of the industry of.the country who are by the hospitality of the Lord Mayor gathered round this board, forming an. assemblage such as England has never before , beheld.—(Cheers.) It was a worthy and a noble thought, worthy of the chief magistrate of the commercial metropolis of the world, to collect around him the municipal representatives of the industry of the cities and towns of this country. (Cheers.) It was a worthy thought thus to connect the heart of this great country with the uttermost extremity of the body politic.—(Great applause.) Gentlemen, the successof this great enterprise rests with the country at large. It is thrown on you to say whether or not it shall be crowned with success.—(Loud cheers.) Lord PilatEßsTox proposed " The Health of toe Lady Mayoress," and The LORD MAlrolt returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Sir R. Peel." Sir R. PEEL, who was received w ith enthusiastic cheers several times renewed, said—My Lord Mayor and Gen tlemen, I am very sensible of the compliment which has been paid by the Lord Mayor in connecting my name with the House of Commons, and in thus devolving on m• the duty of returning thank, for the tcast which he has just given. I know indeed no other claim which I can prefer for that distinction, excepting, perhaps, that I have for a greater nnmber of years than any other Mem ber of Parliament present occupied a seat in the House of Commons, with the exeeption, indeed, of my Noble Friend on the right hand, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to whom has been already assigned a more congenial and agreeable duty—(Laughter and cheers)—which he has perforated with so much alacrity and spirit—(Hear) —in proposing the health of the Lady Mayoress.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I speak in the pre sence of many very distinguished Members of the House of Commons—of men belonging to various political com binations, and entertaining different opinions on many questions deeply electing the public welfare ; but I can assure you that, though on other points we may differ, we are unanimous in the desire to deserve and possess the confidence of the assembly I am addressing.— , (Cheers.) We are unanimous also in the desire to wits ness the success of that great undertaking, the interests of which we are met this day to promote.—(Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, we, I mean not only the original promoters of this undertaking, but I include you who are here present on this occasion, and who, I consider, are giving by your presence a pledge that you will to your utmost promote its success—(Hear, hear),—we, I say, including all, ask from the House of Commons no thing but a general assurance of its sympathy and good will.—(Bear, hear.) We do not solicit any legislative intervention for the purpose of giving to us extraordinary resources. We do not ask or expect any vote of public money; but, then, gentlemen, if we are content to forego those advantages, we should well consider the responsi bility we have undertaken.—(Hear, hear.) We are making an engagement in the lace of the world —an en gagement which commits the credit and character of this great country—an engagement which by the individual energies of Englishmen should effect that which has been only effected in other countries by the sanction of Go vernments and the aid of public resources.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I have no fear of failure.—(Loud applause.) I am confident that we shall succeed.--((,heers.) In spite of the cavils of some, and the interested fears of ethers that their secrets may be known, I feel perfectly confident, after the engagement we have thus contracted in the face cf the world, committing the honour and the faith of England, that such is the spirit of Englishmen that this great undertaking will no: be permitted to fail.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, it is a noble undertaking notwithstanding the cavils that may be made and the apprehensions that may be entertained; it is a noble undertaking to bring together upon one cen tral spot and to exhibit to the view of the world the natural productions which an all-wise and beneficent Creator has distributed through various climes and in various regions for the purpose of stimulating the ine nuity and exercising the mental faculties of men; and through the exertions of their faculties, enabling Hie creatures to provide for the physical comfort, the intel lectual improvement. and the social happiness of man kind.—(Cheers.) It is a noble object to test by experi eace to e hat extent the ingenuity and skill t.f various nations hare corresponded with the purposes of the Creator, and have so improved the natural advantages which each country may possess within its own limits as, through commercial intercourse, to supply the wants and add to the happiness of mankind.—(Cheers.) In other countries and other climes there:have teen splendid spectacles for the gratification of the people. There still remain the ruins of ancient edifices, almost uninjured by time, in which, for the gratification of the people, there were shows and costly spectacles, when, on a Roman holiday, there were hecatombs of wild beasts slaughtered, and sanguinary contests of men against men. We propose to gratify the people by a very dif ferent spectacle.—(Loud cheers.) We propose to teach them gratitude to their Almighty Creator by the exhibi tion of the wonderful contrivances of nature for the hap piness of mankind—to draw closer the bonds of general amity and friendly intercourse by honourable rivalry in ingenuity and skill.—(Cheers.) We Englishmen do not anticipate that Competition with any presumptuous con fidence in our superiority—we desire to impart the knowledge we possess, and to gain in return the know ledge which others have, and by the intercommunication of knowledge to improve our mutual relations, and to in crease our respective means of adding to the comfort and happiness of our fellow -creatures.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, let me, like my Noble Friend, say a word to those who are met together under this hospitoble roof, and who represent the corporate bodies of this great em pire, possessing the confidence of their fellow -citizens and holding their offices by the same tenure as that by which we, the Members of the House of Commons, occupy our position—namely, by the free voice of the people. Let me entreat you not to be satisfied merely with attendance at the Mansion -house this night. —(Hear, hear.) Let me inform you that you will have an opportunity to-morrow moruing of con ferring with the executive committee at the Palace at Westminster, and the Commissioners will be ready to give you any information you may require. Gentle men, I do hope that, possessed of the information we shall be willing to afford you, you will return to your respective districts, remembering the engagement you have contracted by your presence here this day, and firmly resolving that this noble undertaking, which has the favour and good wishes of your graciou Sovereign— which has been originated, and is now directed and cherished by that Prince, not more illustrious by his rank and station than by his virtues and acquirements— (Great cheering) —resolving that this noble undertaking, to which the character and the honour of England are now committed—(Che e r s )— s h a ll not fail—(Cheers)— but that it shall be borne triumphant over every obstacle by the energy and determination of the British people.— (Grc at cheering.) The LORD MAroR again rose and said—May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l am honoured this evening by being surrounded by most of the chief magistrates for the cities, towns, and boroughs of the United Kingdom. In proposing their health, I do so with a firm belief that they have, in common with the inhabitants of the me tropolis, a sincere wish to promote the grand design of his Royal Highness in the exhibition of the works of art of all nations. They will, lam con fident, stimulate their fellow-townsmen to manufacture and produce the best works of art for this exhibition, and thereby show to the whole world that Englishmen have intelligence, skill, and industry to compete with all nations without fear or jealousy, and by so doing will insure peace, comfort, and happiness t o th e i r fellow countrymen throughout this happy land. I therefore b eg t o propose " The health of the Chief Magistrates of thecities, s" boroughs, and towns of the U n it e d Kingdom The LORD MAYOR of YORK then rose and said—My Lord Mayor, Lords, and Gentlemen,—l feel it a distie guished honour to be called upon; (return thanks for the toast which has been proposed. I might use the somewhat hackneyed phrase of wishing the task had fallen into abler hads; but the splendid entertainment we have partaken of, the noble views promulgated by his Royal Highness, might well inspirit me to fulfil the intimation made to me on entering this room, that I should fulfil this duty. As regards the. municipal in stitutions of the country, the page of history cc mot show so bright a record as that of the belted earls and mitred prelates of former days. The cradle of our in fant liberties was rocked in the walls of our corporate towns, and the steel cap and leathern doublet of the hardy burgher of the north were as frequently seen ou the bat tle-field in defence of out rights and liberties as the pen non and the lance of mounted chivalry. At that period the staple manufactures of the country were nurtured in tto .e municipal institutions. In later days they embody the wishes and voice of the country. and give to the humblest individual a share and interest in the localaffairs and welfare of his country. We thus, in the city Ire present, can boast of no extensive trade or manufacture, but we shall best fulfil the wish of our noble president, and the purposes of this noble banquet, by endeavouring, each in his own respective neighbourhood, to promul gate the beneficent views of his Royal Highness, and exciting amongst the many an interest in their success. ) The LORD MAYOR of.

At this day's market there was a short supply from the farmers, and English wheat. realised rather more money, but we make no alteration in our quotations.

About 855 quarters of wheat reached Grangemouth from the continent. Business has been quiet during the week. Fine wheat has undergone no quote able change ; other articles barely sustained last Weclnesda* currency. This day's market was well attended by town alit' country bayers.

MALTA, 31Ancu 15.—The outward mail reached Malta on the night of the 13th, and was forwarded per the Merlin yesterday at noon. The homeward mail arrived early this morning per Ripon, and will leave at seven P.m. this evening, the overland portion via Mar seilles at noon. The Rommond has left for Tangier, Algierz, Gib raltar, and England. The Bulldog will follow early in tho week. Mr.joneg, paymaster and purser of the Bulldog, exchanges with Mr. Little, of the Volage. Lieutenant the Hon. Mr. Hobart, acting in the Bulldog, joins the Ganges. The Ardent is to be laid up in ordinary. Her cap tain, officers, and crow are to be turned over to the Locust. Captain Carey, 44th Regiment, on leave in England, bus an extension of leave to June next. Soma officers of the Rosamond and a lieutenant in the garrison has been fined 305., 205., and 15s. for as saulting the police. The cause of the assault proceeded from the police handling t)o severely a gentleman they had in custody. The details would possess no feature of interest. Mr. Doherty, the Quartermaster of the 44th, proceeds this evening by the Ripon to England. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Encounter, 14, Cap tain G. T. Gordon, arrived this morning from the Expe rimental Squadron, bearing dispatches from Commo dore Martin. She sailed from Gibraltar on the 9;h inst., at which date the squadron of Commodore Martin, com prising his pendant ship Prince Regent, 92 ; the Lean der, 50, Captain Dacres; the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart ; the Thetis, :36, Captain Codrington ; and the steam ships Hogue, 60, Captain M‘Dougall ; Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson ; and Terrible, 21, Captain Hope, had started on a cruise to the westward for a fortnight or three weeks before returning to Lisbon, which point the Encounter did not touch at; she has consequently no political news. The Dauntless screw-frigate, 24, is ordered to be fitted for trial with all dispatch. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 20.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Stromboli, Captain Lord Amelius l3eauclerk, went up lutrbour on Monday to take on board jurymasts and gear, and proceed to Glasgow to conduct the new iron steam-vessel Simoon to Woolwich. When passing to the eastward of Drake's Island a man fell from stowing the anchor of the Stromboli, and, passing under her flows, came up again, tumbling every way, under her stern. Fortunately, the boat belonging to Mr. Walker, the Queen's Harbourmaster, was towing alongside, and her coxswain (Miner) cast off, and reached the poor fellow with his boathook just in time to save his life. The officers and crew of her Majesty's frigate Are thusa, Captain Symonds, were inspected on Monday by Commodore Lord John Hay, and were paid advance. In the evening one of the men, Thomas Williams, tell off the gooseneck, forward, and, although it was between ten and eleven o'clock at night, four of his mesamates jumped over after him; their efforts were, however, in effectual, and he was lost. At half-past two o'clock this afternoon the Arethusa, under all plain sail, left for Lisbon. The Diligence transport arrived on Sunday from Pm broke. LICENSING CREMORNR GARDENS.—On Wednesday the adjourned annual licensing meeting for the Kensing ton division took place at the Holland Arms, Kensington, with a full bench of magistrates, Robert Tubb, Esq , in the chair. It appeared there had been 20,0001. ex pended on the property of Cremorne-gardens, and that there had been, since the year 184 G, admitted to the gar dens upwards of one million of persons. It was further shown that not a single police complaint had ever been preferred. After considerable discussion, the chairman preecuted the proprietor with his licence. THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT.—A new novel under this title, written by Miss Harriet Raikes, the daughter of Mr. Raiki s, so well known in the circles of fashion, and clubs of St. James's-street, has just been published by Mr. Bentley, and has already attained great popu larity. The author, who resided occasionally in Paris and London, mixed with the most distinguislcd society in the n etropolis of both countries, and has given us pictures of society, such as can be painted only by those who have had these opportunities. They are painted to the life. The reader who takes up this powerful story will not be able to lay it down until he reaches the end. The Athexccum justly calls it one of the best novels of the year. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —SI 11.3 MS in the Stomach, Flautulency, and Indigestion cured by Holloway's Pills.—Ex tract of a letter from Mr. Dalwood, of Goodwood, near Syd ney, New South Wales, dated 14th September, 1849. "To Professor Holloway. Sir,—Having had an experimental knowledge of the good effect produced by your valuable pills, I consider it my duty to make it known that two years ago my daughter, then sixteen years old, had suffered for a long time with cramps in the stomach, flatulency, and indigestion. I tried various remedies without benefit, but a few doses of your wonderful pills have restored her to perfect health, and she is entirely free from any symptoms of her former complaint"— Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's Establish ment, 244, Strand, London. for which they are most famous—some by their oxen, 1 their earn, their hops, their cider, their cheese; some by their cottons; their woollens, their carpets, their lace; some by their minerals, some by their name. Iligh upon the wall at the eastern end of the hull. behind 'the Prince's chair, were two well painted colossal figures, re presenting Peace and Plenty, the former with a wreath encircling the globe. Underueath was a large painting in distemper, showing the ships of all nations discharging the:ir cargoes in the port of London for the exhibition. This painting, which was extremely well executed, was said to be the work of Mr. F. Fenton. At the opposite end of the hall was the figure of Britannia, with four angels proclaiming to the four corners cf the world an invitation (we apprehend) to bring their products for the approaching exhibition. As if to make the repre sentation the more distinct, there was placed in the hind of Britannia a sketch or plan of a building for the re ception of the articles, and a painting of the exterior hung below. The plan exhibited a 13rge circle filled with as many radii, or we might say avenues, from the circum ference to the centre as could be conveniently intro duced. In each of these the articles exhibited would of course be placed, and the public could pass up oce and down the next in a continuous stream, each person entering or leaving the stream at such avenue or walk as he pleased; the centre appropriated to the horticultural department, forming an agreeable grove visible ,i'rom every part, and a gallery above giving a carious bird's eye view of the whole. in the picture of the exterior the dome surmounting the supposed building was painted to represent the world. At the base of the balcony at each end of the hall were suspended shields, on which were the arms of various nations. The hall was brilliantly illuminated, and these embellishments attracted (as may be supposed) no little attention and admiration. The Prince and circle, and the Lord Mayor, entered the hall at 7 o'clock and took their places. The banquet was then served. It was supplied by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, and was of the most sumptuous order, fully abs taining the character of their establishment. There was a magnificent display of plate upon the tables. Grace was said by the Lord Mayor's chaplain, the Rey. Charles Marshall. The bill of fare included:— First Course—Tortue claire, tortue a l'Anglaise, tur bots boulllis a la sauce de homard, turbans de filets de soles, sautuon de Glo'ster boilli, mackerel en mantelot, anguille aux tomato, traches de saumon la Tartare, fried fish, filets de merlans a la horly.

Ices —Pine, millefruit, raspberry, lemon, ginger, cherry, &c. After dinner, according to custom at the Mansion house, the loving cup was sent round, the usual welcome being proclaimed by the toast-master; Mr. Harker, Graeo was then sung by the vocalists. This department was arranged by Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Miss Birch, Miss E. Birch, Miss Dolby, Mr. Francis, Mr. Young, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Bradbury, and Mr. Machin. They had the aid of the Coldstream band. As may be supposed the whole department was very powerfully sustained. After grace, The LORD MAYOR rote and said,—May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords and Gentlemen,—The first toast I have the honour to propose to you this even. ing is one I am sure you will respond to, and that with enthusiasm, it is " The health and long continued hap piness of our beloved and most gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria." The toast was drunk upstanding, with three times three. The National Anthem was very effeJtively performed. The LORD MAYOR then said,—My Lords and Gentle men,—l have the distinguished honour to entertain this evening the Consort of our beloved and gracious Queen. In proposing the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, allow use to connect with it an expression of my desire that the great exhibition about to take place in the year 1851, and which' his Royal Highness takes so great an interest in, may benefit not only this metropolis, but produce good . and lasting re, ults throughout the United Kingdom, and a brotherly f , eling towards all na tions. With these sentiments I beg to propose " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and success to the Exhibition of 1851." The toast was received with the most enthu.isstio char mg. the whole company rising as one man to do honour to the Prince. Ills ROYAL Efroutiass, in acknowledging the toast, spoke as follows:—My Lord Mayor,—l am sincerely grateful for the kindness with which you have proposed my h. alth, and to you, gentlemen, for the cordiality with which you have received this propoE al. It must, indeed, be most gratifying to me to find that a suggestion which I had thrown out, as appearing to me of importance at this time, should have met with such universal concur- Fence and approbation, for this has proved to me that the view I took of the peculiar character and requirements of our age was in accordance with the feelings and opinions of the country.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I con ceive it to be the duty of every educated person closely to watch and study the time in which he lives, and, as far as in him lies, to add his humble mite of individual exertion to further the accomplishment of what he be lieves Providence to have ordained.—(Cheers.) No body, however, who has paid any attention to the par ticular features of our present era will doubt for a moment that we are living at a period of most wonderful transition, which tends rapidly to accomplish that great end—to which indeed all history points— the realization of the unity of mankind.—(Great cheer ing.) Nut a unity which breaks down the limits and levels the peculiar characteristics of the different na- tions of the earth, but rather a unity the result and pro duct of those very national varieties and antagonistic qualities. The distances which separated the different nations and parts of the globe are gradually vanishing before the achievements of modern invention, and we can traverse them with incredible speed; the languages of all nations are known, and their acquirement placed within the reach of everybody ; thought is communi cated with the rapidity, and even with the power of lightning. On the other hand, the great principle of the division of labour, which may be called the moving power of civilization, is being extended to all branches of science, industry, and art. Whilst formerly the greatest mental energies strove at universal knowledge, and that knowledge was confined to the few, now they are directed to specialities, and in these again even to the minutest points. But the knowledge acquired becomes at once the property of the community at large; whilst, formerly discovery was wrapt in secrecy, it results from the publicity of the present day that no sooner is u discovery or invention made than it is already improved upon and surpassed by competing efforts.—(Cheers.) The products of all quarters of the globe are placed at our disposal, and we have only to choose which is the beat and cheapest for our purposes, and the powers of production are intrusted to the stimu lus of competition and capital. So man is approaching a more complete fulfilment of that great and sacred mis ►ion which he has to perform in this world. His reason being created after the image of God, he has to use it to discover the laws by which the Almighty governs His creation, and, by making these laws his standard of action, to conquer nsture to his use—himself a divine instrument. Science discovers these laws of power, motion, and transformation; industry applies them to the raw matter which the earth yields us in abundance, but which becomes valuable only by knowledge; art teaches us the immutable laws of beauty and symmetry, and gives to our productions forms in accordance with them. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, the exhibition of 1851 is to give us a true test and a living picture of the point of development at which the whole of mankind has arrived in this great task, and a new starting point from which all nations will be able to direct their fur ther exertions.—(Cheers.) I confidently hope that the first impression which the view of this vast collection will produce on the spectator will be that of deep thank fulness to the Almighty for the blessings which lie has bestowed upon us already here below; and the second, the conviction that they can only be realised in propor tion to the help which we are prepared to render to each other—therefore only by peace, love, and ready assist ance, not only between individuals, but between the na tions of the earth. This being my conviction, I must be highly gratified to see here assembled the mit e ;istrates of all important towns of this realm, sinking all their local, and possibly political differences—the representatives of the different political opinions of the country, and the representatives of the different foreign nations-- to-day representing only one interest.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, my original plan had been to carry out this undert eking with the help of the Society of Arts of London, which had long and usefully laboured in this direction, and by the means of private capital and enterprise. You have wished it otherwise, and de clared that it was a work which the British people as a whole ought to undertake. I at once yielded to your wish, feeling that it proceeded from a patriotic, noble, and generous spirit.—(Cheers.) On your courage, per severance, and liberality the undertaking now entirely depends.—(Chaers.) I feel the strongest confidence in these qualities of the British people—(Cheers)—and am sure that they will repose confidence in themselves — confidence that they will honourably sustain the contest of emulation, and will nobly carry out their proffered hospitality to their foreign competitors.—(Cheers.) We, her Majesty's Commissioners, are quite alive to the in numerable difficulties which we shall have to overcome in carrying out the scheme; but having confidence in you, and in our own zeal and perseverance at least, we require only your confidence to make us contemplate the result without any apprehension.—(Enthusiastic cheer ing, several times renewed.) After an ode, admirably pet formed, The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and th e res t o f t h e Royal family." The toast was drunk with all the honours. His Royal Hi g h ness Prince ALBERT then rose and said,—G ent l emen, it is my pleasing duty to propose to you "Th e h ea l t h of (kir noble host, the Lord Mayor, and prosperity t o t h e c i ty of London " —(Cheers)—let me add, " th e commerc i al metropolis of the world. " The LORD M AYoR returned thanks, and then proposed "The health of the Archbishop (.f Cantarbury and the clergy." The Archbishop of CANTERBURY. who was very warmly welcomed, said—My Lord Mayor, I have to thank you for the great honour you have conferred both upon me and the body to which I belong. lam grati fied to have the opportunity of thanking you for t'no honour you had e done me in supposing that I should be happy in taking a share in the great object which is uppermost in our minds to-day.—(ll, ar, hear.) You might, my Lord, have supposed that the minis ters of religion were comparLtively indifferent to such an object, which is in a great degree of a secular character; but you have judged rightly in remem bering that whilst we are ministers of religion we are a: she same time citizens, and we do not cease to be pa triots—(Cheers)—and as citizens and as patriots we must take a lively interest in whatever tends to promote the national prosperity and to aggrandize our country. —(Hear, hear.) I trust that the undertaking now pro posed will be as successful in its result as it has been grand in its conception.—(Cheers.) There will be still more occasion for rejoicing, my Lord, if the aspirations of his Royal Highness shall be answered, as I trust they will, and if that which has for its object the national prosperity and credit shall also improve the social rela tions and add to the amicable intercourse of the different nations of. Europe with our own.—(Hear, hear.) We shall rejoice in this because it will. carry into effect.that glorious characteristic of -our holy religion --goodwill amongst men.—(Hear, bear.) The LORD Matron then gave "The Army and Navy;" and Colonel Bon'En= acknowledged the toast. The LORD MAYOR nex t proposed " The health of the Foreign Ministers," and callel upon the French Ambas sador to respond to the toast. His Excellency M. DRoUTN DE LHUYS, the French Ambassador, who was received with much cheering, said—My Lords and Gentlemen, when I cast my eyes around me I behold the cities of England represented by their chief magistrates in this assembly, which I may truly call the House of Commons of English industry.— (Cheers.) I trust it is the shadowing of the future.— (Hear, hear.) Foreign nations flocking to the banner raised by Great Britain will be represented here very soon ` by their various productions i n one vas t assembly A mighty male, but not without a plan;" I may add, a garden tempting with forbidden fruit.— (A. laugh.) We are all aware that the golckn fruits of exotic industry are often withheld from P.,ur grasp by a dragon whose protective claws and slerpless eyes are al ways on the watch. But you, gerAlemen, acting on en august impulsion, have throwr open your doors to the competition of the world.--(Hear, hear.) On another occasion I compared Ws rivalry of nations to a peaceful contest; but 1 thi school in which 7:1( it should ra th er b e lik ene d to a . we all of us have something to kern.— though I believe that a ll wi ll b e ga i ners experiment, I venture t o sa y t h at your manufac bytho (Cheers.) tend , tunes will not reap the least advantage from it; for, as it has been justly remarked, their merit consists in the cheapness of their prices, in the texture of their fabrics, and in the durable nature of their productions —not in their fine glossy surface, as the wife of the Vicar of Wakefield would say—(Laughter and cheers)—but in such qualities as wear well.—(Renewed cheers.) These qualities are the result of a hidden skill, of which no curious gaze can penetrate the mystery; whereas the attractions, the external beauty, and the superiority of design in which others are supposed rather to excel, are open to first sight. and are accessible to imitation; but whether in the school, or on the field of battle, I am sure England will stand her ground.—(Laud cheers.) The next toast was " The House of Lords and the Marquis of Lansdowne." The Marquis of LaNsnowrix, in acknowledging the toast, said—lt is a source of unmixed pleasure to assist upon this occasion, when there are, by the hospitality of the Lord Mayor, so many present who represent those corporations and places which- I may be permitted to term the fountain heads of . industry—(Loud cheers) — from which are perpetually flowing those streams which supply the wants of the people of this country, and then overflow to the most distant parts of the world. I feel that I am assisting upon a solemn as well as an interest ing occasion—as his Royal Highness has so well said, the commencement of a new epoch, the consequences of which no man can meaiure or anticipate.—(Dear, hear.) But this we may say, that we feel confident the stream of industry will only flow the more freely when placed in competition and within the reach of observation of the industry of other countries, and that united they will be a source of happiness cud greatness to this country, and administer to the comfort and civilization of the world.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Health of Lord J. Russell and her Majesty's Ministers." Lord J. RUSSELL. who was louldly cheered, said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, I have so often had occa sion to thank your Lordship and this great city fur the indulgence with which you view the intentions and mc tives of her Majesty's Ministers, that I have no fresh words in which to express my gratitude for such kind ness; but I will take this occasion to say that I think your Lordship has added most powerfully to the proba bilities of tho success of this great exhibition in asking the representatives of the corporation of England to assist at this inauguration.—(Cheers.) I feel sure, gentlemen, that this design, like all other good designs, will have collateral effects, perhaps equally advantageous with those which must directly flow from it.—(Cheers.) Because, in having an exhibition of the industry of all nations, you will produce before the world such an ob ject of interest and curiosity that the most distinguished men of all nations—the men most remarkable in science and art in every rank of life and in every profession, will hasten to flock hither to have the advantage of beholding this grand collection, and the pleasure of reflecting that they have been present at this great national exhibition. —(Applause.) lam sure that we cannot have here such an assemblage of distinguished men, who are apt to visit us now from time to time as individuals, scarcely meeting each other,—we cannot have such an assem blage at one time without their being animated with more friendly feelings towards England and each ether; and thus will he promoted •in a secondary and colla teral manner, but most effectrially, that great brother hood of nations which it is Royal Highness's moat laud able ambition to promote.—(Cheers.) I feel sure, therefore, that you will have the most advanta geous effects of good % ill and amity flowing from this festival, which all men will agree iu celebrating as the great jubilee of industry and of peace. The next toast was Lord Stanley and the Royal Commissioners for the great Exhibition of all Nations in 1851." Lord STANLEY, who rose along with Mr. Cobden and the other Royal Commissioners, was very loudly cheered. Ills Lordship said,—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,' need hardly say that I feel it a very distinguished, as I also feel it a most unmerited honour, to have my name associated, as it has been this evening, with that great and important exhibition, the preparation for which is the occasion of this great assemblage. I know that there are many of my colleagues on the Commission to whom the task of returning thanks might far more fitly be confided; and I know not for what reason my humble name has been selected from among them, unless for the purpose of practically demonstrating here, as prac tically we demonstrate in the Commission itself, that men of the most different political opinions, men of t he most opposite views —(hear, hear)—can and will co operate cordially and hat moniously for objects which all alike conceive to be promotive of the puhlic good.— (Cheers.) More especially are we bound to cherish such feelings, and to act upon such principles, when, as in the Commission, we are presided over by our Royal Presi dent,—by ono who, from the moment of his appearance in this country, down to the present hour, among his many claims npon the gratitude and aflection of the country, has had none more high or more worthy than this—that in his high station he has always abstained from interfering with the political contests of the day._ ' (Great cheering.) At the same time he has never shrunk from putting himself forward, as befits his high station, his distinguished character, and his eminent abilities, whenever objects were to be accomplished which were for the benefit, the advantage, and the improvement of his adopted country.—(Cheers.) I feel, in returning thanks for that Commission, th a t if I were to enter into the objects for whi c h it has been katituted—its high, and I think I may venture to say, its holy objects—l should only weaken the effect produced upon your minds by the most . truthful, able, and eloquent statement made to you by its Royal President. —(Cheers.) It is not to the Commission that your thanks are due; we labour . cordially,. but most humbly, under the presidency of his Royal Highness. For my own parr, when it was desired that my natne should be placed upon the Commission, I assented ysemntedduttoytthoe propos a l mainly because 1 conceived it to power in the to the in deep my interest mind of the Sovereign, and a deeper interest still—if that be possible—in the Consort of the Sovereign, the father of the future sovereign, though God grant, gentlemen, that that future may be so distant that few indeed among those whom I am 'now addressing may live to witness it. —(Cheers.) I cannot, however, deprive myself of the satisfaction of bearing my humble testimony, in con• junction with that of my colleagues who have already addressed you, to the possible and probable effects of this great exhibition. I agree with my Noble Friend the Noble Marquis, that those effects, moral and social, immediate and contingent, it is difficult to anticipate and difficult to exaggerate. But this, at all esa fats, is a matter of certainty, that it must tend to bring together into harmonious concord the nations of the world; it must tend to improve the good feeling between various ' nations; and at this time and in this age of progress, when throughout the world the mass of the people are acquiring a larger and a larger share in the governoient of their own countries, it is a matter of no ordinary im portance that the mind, the attention, and the affections of the people should be withdrawn from feelings of in ternational jealousy and hostile aggression, leading to - sanguinary wars, whicb, oven when most suo.:essful, PUBLICATIONS.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the Lord Mayor with his company at dinner laA night, to meet a very large and distinguished party of the friends and promoters of the great Exhibition of the Works of In duftry of all Nations to be held in 1851. The chief Officers of Siete, leading Members of both Houses of Parliament, 11 , yal Consinissioners fur the promotion of the Exhibition, the principal members of the Corpora tion of London, the masters of the great City companies, several large contributors to the fund for the Exhibition, and other gentlemen of eminence, accepted the Lord Mayor's invitation, and were among the company at the Mansion-house; and—which formed a distinctive pecu liarity cf the occasion—nearly all the mayors or other chief muuicipal officers of the corporate towns of the Unite I Kingdom were also assembled, and in their robes of office surrounded the chief magistrate of London; so that the people of almost every town of importance were represented by their first citizen. Such an assembly might be regarded as in this respect like the exhibition itself—that by the triumphs of modern engineering skill in regard to rapid and convenient transit it has become possible. The Lord Mayor had made due preparation for the reception of the Prince and such an influential company; and great interest was excited in the Ci,ty. The arrivals began about half-past fi ve o ' c l oc k, by which time a crowd of spectators was collected in front of the Man sion-house and in the neighbouring streets. The guests were mostiy in official costume, or Court dress or uni form. The Foreign Ministers attended in unusual num ber. Prince Albert drove up at a quarter• past six o'clock, and was received in state ee the grand entrance by the Lord Mayor, with the sword and mace, and his chaplain; Colonel Fitzroy, of the Artillery Company, was also in attendance, and the corridor (which was tastefully decorated with shrubs) was lined by eighty of the troop under his command.

The guests, as they were presented, with the exception of the Court circle, passed on through the reception room to the entrance of the Egyptian-ball, where the banquet had been prepared. This magnificent apartment had been decorated in a most appropriate manner, under the direction of Mr. Bunning, the city architect, by the in troduction of trophies upon the columns, representing the several counties of England, and also Ireland, Scot land, and Wales. It se. , med fitted up for a hall of con ference for the representatives of every industrial de partment. The products and manufactures of every part of the kingdom were symbolised by means of paintings upon shields affixed to the colamns, and by small gutty percha models, and in some instances by stuffed anim ds, the whole beiag backed with laurel and formed into groups. Ireland appeared to be portrayed in its agricul tural produce—its pork, its butter, its linens ; Scotland, too, was indicated in its manufactures and agriculture as well as by its wild game and its plaids; Wales was re cognised by the leek and the goat's held , and its minerals were not overlooked. The English counties were distinguished by representations of the articles
