One man, who was rather more loyal than the rest, proposed that they should sing in the street as the parties were leaving the church, " God save the Queen." Mr. Rus sell, the superintendent of Police, with great forbear ance, inform d him that if such were done, it would, in all probability, lead to a disturbance of the peace, and he could not think of allowing it.

GREEN, Secretary • FORTHCOMING POPISH JUBILEE. An extraordinary lordly and prelatical document, issued by Cardinal Wiseman, appointing a jubilee, and granting plenary indulgence, was yesterday read pre vious to the sermon at all Popish chapels throughout the metropolis. An application by the reporter to be allowed to make a copy of the document met with a premptory, but courtrous re:usal; the priest stating that '•his Emi nence" had desired that no one should be allowed`to copy it. The following is from a short-hand note taken at the time the document .was read; and although it does not pretend to precise verbal accuracy, owing to the rapid delivery of the priest, it presents faithfully the spirit of the document. A word or two here and there may be omitted, but nothing is inserted that was not said "Nicholas, by the Divine mercy of the Holy Roman Church, by the title of St. Pudentians, Cardinal Priest, Archbishop of Wes!minster, and Administrator Apos -tplie:of the diocese of Southwa-k: " To our dearly-beloved in Christ, the clergy, secular and regular, and the faithful of the said archdiocese and diocese.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. Money Market, Tuesday Evening, Nov. 19—There is a steady demand for money, and the offerings at the banks continue larger than was noticed early in the month. Still there is no change in rates, and good single names will sell readily at 71 to 9 per cent. The banks are in a condition to discount liberally, so that the increased demand from their regular customers is fully met. We alluded this morning to the heavy shipments of specie to New Orleans for this month, amounting in the aggregate to about 4,000,000 dolls., including 1,000,000 dolls. from the Sub-Treasury. As this statement has created a desire to know how this movement affected the condition of our banks, we have taken a count to day of the specie in the 28 banks in this city, with the following result, as compared with some other dates specified : SCOTTISH HOSPITAL FESTIVAL. The 21st of March and the 30th of November are days as familiar with Scottish men as Christmas and Good Friday are to the rest of the world. The first as being that on which the glorious victory of Alexandria was won by the troops under Sir Ralph Abercromby, and the latter as their Patron Saint's day, the Highland Society doing due honour to the former annually; and Saturday last was celebrated by the members of the Scottish Corporation and their friends, at the London Tavern, by dining together. This institution is of a purely charitable character, and dates its foundation and origin as far back as 1620, being then formed but of a few members, enrolled as a friendly society. Its useful ness and importance soon became so acknowledged, and its sphere of action so extended, as to hare hud a Charter of Incorporation conferred on it in the reign of Charles 11., under its ; resent designation; and for its now pros perous position it is entirely indebted to the management being in the hands of spirited and active individuals, who saw the necessity of a change in its constitution to enable them to give its objects more efficiency. The charity of this institution is appli cable to the poor natives of Scotland and their families resident in London. The several Scottish societies in the metropolis join together on this occasion for its support. The chair was occupied by the newly-elected Recorder of London, the Right Hon. Mr. Stuart Wortley, supported by Mr. Sheriff Hodgkinson, Chisholm Anstey, Esq., M.P.; Mr. Davis, Principal Secretary of the American Legation; Mr. Lawrence, jun., and Colonel Van Allen, Attaché; to the same Embassy; Mr. Bul lock, Common Sergeant; Colonel Anstruther, Colonel _ _ "The year, dearly beloved in Christ, is drawing to a close without our having fully discharged our duty. Upon. the 23d of July last his Holiness graciously bestowed upon the bishops of the Church the power to publish an extraordinary jubilee within the current year. Our absence from England and other circumstances have prevented us from sooner appointing a time for that im portant object. Nor do we regret that this delay should have occurred, both because a more fitting period will thus come to be appointed; and because the fervent prayers of all people will no doubt be redoubled in the present .necessities of the Church. " It.has been the practice of the Church , for many centuries to. proclaim a great year of jubilee every 25 years, at which period multitudes repair to the shrines of the blessed Apostles in Rome, in order to partake of the spiritual benefits which there abound. •• OIIDON and NORTH-WESTERN At, m, RAILWAY.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—We men tioned a few days since that " closer relation'," which wound throw additional traffic upon the Chester and Holyhea d Railway, were about to be entered into between that com- • pang and the London and North-Western Company. Sub sequent events have attested the accuracy of our statement. We now learn that these " closer relations" include an ar rangement with the Great Southern and Western of Ireland Railway Company, and the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company. It is stated that the steam-packet company men tioned are to run boats between Dublin and Holyhead in con nexion with the Chester and Holyhead Company, with whom and the Great Southern and Western of Ireland Rail way Company there will be a friendly interchange of traffic. We believe an agreement to this effect will in all probability be completed to-day, and that its effect will give a consider able additional amount of traffic to the Chester and Holy head Company. , The advices from New York by the Baltic d scribe continued conildencedn the.moneymarketi noW;;th;- finstaztlainngditthhse ro g e w n z a l4 l 9 e t x 4 p kn a go nsi ns, on na o r f pcp trad ri e tt i r ` :I s l ( 3, , e u kvea t t eg h:r x , a - zi the,extent of the cotton crop.

Ll .. " By a jubilee is signified a period of time during which the Church more earnestly exerts herself, through her ministers, to bring sinners to repentance, to obtain the restitution of ill-gotten property, and the reparation of injured reputations; to reconcile enemies; to make the lukewarm fervent, to awaken faith, enliven hope, and increase charity, and to renew in all the sound prin ciples of true religion and their serious observance. " For these purposes she exhorts her children to run to the sacred tribunal of penance with contrite and peni tent hearts, and there, after humble confession of sins, obtain forgiveness to approach its sacred temple with warm and deep devotion, and derive new light from the only living spring; to give alms abundantly, according to the ability of each, and to mortify the flesh by fasting. " That, further, a jubilee is the time for using violence to heaven by earnest and constant prayer, proceeding from souls thus purified, for the averting of calamities from the Church, and for obtaining peace and unity among all Christian people, and the union of all hearts and souls in the belief of God's truth. " Such, dearly beloved in the Lord Jesus, are the great objects of the holy time which we now appoint ; for we hereby name the period, from Sunday, the Bth of aTember, until Sunday, the 22d of the same month (both inclusive), as the time for enjoying the jubilee in the archdiocese of Westminster and the diocese of South. w ark. " And, as we have before said, this will be a more fitting period than any that could have occurred, inas much us it will commence with the Feast of the Immacu- late Conception, which the Holy Father has graciously granted us as the patron feast of both dioceses, and wnich will supersede this year the observances of the second Sunday of Advent. In this also will be included the Ember week of Advent, three fast days of which will form part of the conditions of the jubilee. " In order to encourage the faithful to partake of the y.enefits of this holy time, the Church liberally opens her precious treasures, and grants to all a plenary indulgence in the form of a jubilee. " And now, most dearly beloved in Christ, you will easily understand why we should consider the present time most suited for the union of fervent prayers to heaven, to implore peace and good-will among men. I need not remind you of the. excitement which has been raised through the country in consequence of the estab lishment of au ecc;esiasti: al hierarchy among us, nor of the things that have been said and done iu our regard. " All'itiat should only serve to animate your fervour in praying to the Almighty that He will vouchsafe of his mercy to grunt us abundantly the spirit of charity and 'Juice", to entreat him to give a better understanding to lhose that have been led astray, and to grant a right mind and better feeling to all. Pray earnestly tor the pro4erity of this empire, and of the stability of the great-enustitution by which it is -governed; and espe• - (natty for the life, health, and prosperity of our beloved Sovereign. " The conditions of the jubilee will be as follow: " 1. During the space of time above determined each of the faithful must partake the sacrifice of penance and the holy Eucharist. "2. Each must visit on three separate days some Catholic church or chapel, and either join in the prayers hereafter prescribed, or, it not assigned, say the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, and five ' Our Fathers,' and five Hail Marys.' Such as are unable to visit a church may say these prayers at home. " We flintier desire that on the last day after mass a solemn 7'e Deum be sung or recited in thanksgiving for the return of his Holiness to Rome. "And now, beloved brethren in Christ, we have to exhort you to one clear duty. Although alms deeds are not prescribed to you as a condition for granting the jubilee, yet it is amongst the surest means of obtaining the fulness of its benefits. What, in truth, will more assuredly bring down on us the abundance of Divine mercy than to show mercy ourselves to others?—how shall we be so well heard as by ourselves hearing others who ask for relief from us? In order, therefore, to give you a most fitting opportunity for the performance of this duty, we hereby appoint Sunday, the Bth of De cember, for an annual collection to be made in the diffe rent churches and chapels in this archdiocese and diocese in behalf of our two orphan schools at Norwood and Hyde. Last ) ear the bounteousness of your thanks giving enabled us to extend the benefits of those estab lishments. We trust that this year you will enable us to continue what has been begun, and even, if possible, to increase so holy a work of charity. Thus will God hear your prayers more willingly when supported by those of his helpless little ones, who have already to thank you for the many spiritual and temporal blessings which they at present owe to your loving-kindness. " Given at London, this 30th day of November, in the year of our Lord, 1850. (Signed) " NICHOLAS, " Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. "By command of his Eminence, " FRANCIS SEARLE, Secretary." SCENE AT ST. BARNABAS' CHURCH. Yesterday morning a great many well-dressed persons were to be seen in the immediate vicinity of the Queen's roadnear Buckingham Palace, and, from the route they took, it was ascertained that they were wending their way towards St. Barnabas' Church. Information having been dispatched to Mr. Superintendent Russell, of the B division, that officer,with Inspector Symonds and a power ful body of police-constables and sergeants, proceeded to the scene to preserve order, as a serious disturbance was apprehended by many of the neighbours. The su perintendent of the police at once gave orders for the constables to be distributed,round the church, and a few men in plain clothes were stationed within the sacred edifice, so as to be able the more readily to apprehend any one who might interrupt the proceedings. The officiating minister was the Rev. Mr. De Gex, who took his text from the 21st chapter of the Gospel by St. Matthew, 9th verse, " And the Multitude that went there and followed cried out, saying, Hosannah to the Son of David, blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosannah in the highest." The preacher, in commencing his discourse, remarked that, as it was in the days of our Saviour, so it was at the present time. A great multitude went out and fol lowed our Lord, and cried out " Hosannah to the son of David." A great number of those followers, although at one moment they cried out, " Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord," were ready the next moment to cry, "Crucify him! crucify him!' At that time persons tollofved and joined in the general cry of " Hosannah I" who were in their harts at enmity with Him. These transgressors were similar to the Pope. He wanted to obtain that power which ho had no right to, and so it was in that very church. They had assem bled to worship God after the dictates of their own con sciences. Many of the persons present had come witba a single eye to God's glory; many had come out of mere curiosity; and, what was worse, many had come merely to disturb them in their devotions. He was afraid he was speaking the truth when he said that many at the present time in that church had come merely out of cu riosity, and had no thought of worshipping their Creator and Saviour. At this point a few hisses were given by some of those standing in the middle aisle, which were aeon silenced by those near saying " Shame, shame." He . (the preacher) hoped he was wrong in supposing that many who had attended that morning had come to disturb the rest. At this juncture many persons who were stationed in different parts of the church commenced coughing, which was con tinued for some time, but the sermon was brought to a conclusion without any formidable obstructoin, except that which was occasioned by persons hastily leaving their seats and making towards the doors. One remark -was not at all relished by some of the congregation, to 'the t e e h ff u ec re t h t tha e t i h e e te w rr a u s p a t f t r h ai e d p a re eeedhg London is m . ob had got into he tits mot; t ,to hefi en on t g er r , e ,o ga a tion dispersing, they ,found a crowd of netirly 399 41 fro n t of the church; andinauy made an buildiafre..The - police,; bovraer, : 1 ; 1 7 4 4 e r -ale,! direction s; of ,their. eaperialeOstit, kept ' a . :space clenr foe tki o cc ,, w . ga , t i on , t o pass, thr9ugh,. and, at, Pe same I glue rove,atexiutke4crOotijrap2 .finciag- an —. #lO7-01 thosomeho fowici , thomselvecpresented from i 4 , :` M9tll . l,:+iv ~. t►X't ot-ovad t9fit•olue NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Nov. 22.—The fleet has not been heard of since our last, but the Dragon steam-frigate has been sent to join it, as also to convey the dispatches to Sir W. Parker and the letters to the different ships which for two mails have been writing them here. It the laying down of buoys in the usual places of mooring for the squadron may be considered as indica tive of a sign of their return, we may shortly expect the English squadron under Sir W. Parker to resume their usual berths in this port. DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.

L—The Fantome, 12, is ready for the pendant at this port, which is expected to be hoisted in a few days by Commander Parker. The Birkenhead steamer transport, Master-Comman der Aylen, arrived at Madeira from this port on the 31st of October, and after coaling sailed on the 2d ult. for Ascension direct. Much anxiety has been felt at this port among relatives of the crew as to her fate, a re port having been extensively current that she was lost; but how such a report could have come from seawards seems unaccountable. However, she is safe, and all were well on board at the date of cur letter, which we hasten to publish to counteract the effect of the mischiev ous rumour. The next quarterly examination of naval' officers, on subjects connected with the steam-engine, will be held at the Royal Naval College on the 9th and 10th inst. APPOINTMENTS.

THE BRAZILS. _ _ - - LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.--The clipper ship Columbus, Captain Globe, arrived in the Mersey last evening from P ernam b uco, w i th commerc i a l ac counts from that port t o t h e 28t h o f O cto b er, f rom Rio Janeiro to the 4th, an d f rom B a bi a t o th e 11th. The Ranger sailed from Pernambuco for this port a few days previous to the Columbus. From Pernambuco we learn that a small business had commenced in white sugar for native ports at the high rate of 2 dolls. 750 c. to 2 dolls. 900 c. for second to third quality, and muscovado for the Channel and harbour at 133. 11d. for regular, and at 14s. 3d. for rather better quality. For yellow muscovado 1 dolls. 600 c. and more were demanded. Large supplies were expected to reach the market, which, added to a scarcity of vessels and a prospect of higher freights, would probably bring down the prices of sugar. The season was about a fortnight earlier than the preceding oue. Purchasers of cotton for Liverpool having retired from the market, prices had undergone a considerable decline. Hides were scarce, and in demand. In freights, the first charters of the season were taken at 40s. to British ports, and at 80s. between Havre and Hamburgh, a cargo of sugar in bags. In exchange 28,000/. changed hands at 284 d., part of which was taken by the Treasury. The advices, abovewas e x w p e a c e t t e h d e , and ele a n t g the rate, s a i a l h ow ever, had preve n t e d t h e advance in the rate which 83, in consequence ofnindgthe m arket steady.

IS THE PALACE OF INDU STRY ST RONG In view of the light appearance of the building in E" Hyde-park and its entirely no vel character, it is not to be wondered at that there sho uld be man y dou bts and surmises as to its being stro n g enough for its p ur pose. Some doubt the columns , some the g irders, some the galleries, UGH? some the fastenings of the girders to the co lumns, some the effects of expansion and contraction; all are easily answered. In considering the sufficiency of strength in the build leg, it is to be borne in m ind that the greatest strains are all directly vertical. T his vertical g st a r l a e in of th w e in p d i . lla T r o s are far more than capabl e of resistin g . The only pos sible danger, therefore, tha t can arise is from any un zemxoenpetetaclittehdigsliar lateral strain, each of which, on account of its s h t a r v a e i n , theau such as immensea severe great depth, forms a most efficient lateral tie, and for this purpo se the y are carefully slotted both at top and buttout into the pillars, where they are secured with wrought.iron bolts; and the whole of these girders and fastenings must, therefore, by any storm that could destroy the building, be literally wrenched asunder. And as to weight of people in the galleries, each individual girder is tested by means of hydraulic presses to fully three times the weight that, by the utmost crowding, can ever come upon them.

Exchange for to-morrow's steamer is active, but owing to the better supply of bills, rates have further declined. Southern bank bills on London are dull at 1.094 dolls., and most of the business has been done at that or under; some fair bills have been sold at 1.09 dolls. Francs are also easier.

The telegraphic system gives great facilities to operate in this market. Under the system now in vogue it is entirely useless for parties who design making ex tensive purchases to leave the comforts attending a so journ here. The poor planters have had it put into them very strong recently by parties here who stated on their arrival that they were not aware that " flowering " had yet become general, and who could not think of encountering the risk of a residence in a southern cli mate before December set in, as from the tables of growth distributed about Manchester they saw that the frost last year only appeared on the 15th of December, and with one month later planting-the 15th of January was above their idea of the ripening process closing. If 30 days' earlier flowering and 12 days' later frost, with 125,000 bales of old cotton, gives 2,100,000 as the ex treme result, what may be looked for now ? We say 1,925,000 bales, and we desire our readers to cut this out and keep it before them. We have recently in spected returns received by parties here who have orga nized an unequalled system of communication by the telegraph, and the result lays about 1,900,000 bales, provided the country is drained. Another point we de sire to place on record which will astonish some of the knowing ones. New Orleans cannot receive 775,000 bales. Another point :-Memphis delivered 140,000 bales to make up the 782,000 to New Orleans last year. She will not deliver 85,000 bales this seasen. We could run through the list, but are not allowed to extract more, as the credit belongs to others. We will only add this, that the Red River section cannot add the Memphis de ficit ; of this the returns admit of no doubt whatever. Taking this as a key, what then becomes of the bottoms of the south-west, which have been so confidently relied on? The universally prevailing influence now is to exag gerate the growth, and it is very difficult, with such an immense stake at issue, to get at the facts. We have determined to publish every reliable statement, lit it in terfere with whom it may, and our columns heretofore give evidence of our perfect independence of any clique or class. Our space at present will not admit of more.- Neva York Intclagencer. Breadstuffs.-Flour-In Western and State flour there was an active business doing, in part for the East, for export and on speculation, while holders were very firm. The receipts, both present and prospective, were large, but the near approach of the close of canal navigation induces operators to meet owners more freely, and the market had a stiffening tendency. A considerable quan tity has been going into store. The stock of No. 2 superfine was limited, and higher prices were demanded for this description. The sales of domestic to-day amount to about 28,000 barrels, embracing 4,000 barrels old inspected State, at 4 dolls. from store; No. 2 super fine at 4 dolls. 18c. to 4 dolls. 44c.; ordinary to straight State at 4 dolls. 6qc. to 4 dolls. 75c.; mixed to straight Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana at 4 dolls. 68ic. to 4 dolls. 81c.; round hoop Ohio at 4 dolls. 81c. to 4 dolls. 94c.; pure Genessee at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls. 6kc.; fancy Ohio and Genesse at 5 dolls. 12c. to 5 dolls. 373-c.; and extra ditto and ditto at 5 dolls. 371 c. to 6 dolls. 25e. The market for Canadian was more buoyant, at unchanged rates. Sales were made of 4,500 barrels at 4 dolls. 62ic. to 4 dolls. 684 c. in bond. Southern flour was more abundant, but the inquiry was fair and holders firm. Some 900 barrels have changed hands at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls. 12c. for mixed to good Alexandria, Baltimore, and Georgetown. Rye flour has not varied. The sales reached 200 barrels, at 3 dolls. 621 c. In corn meal there was more doing, without change in rates. Some 400 barrels Jersey brought 3 dolls. 12ic.; and 600 barrels Brandywine 3 dolls. 314 c. Wheat-The receipt and supply of domestic were good, while the demand was brisk for prime samples. Canadian was more sought for, and holders were somewhat firmer. The operations in clude 15,000 bushels good to prime white Canadian at 1 doll. 61c. to 1 doll. 7c.; 2,500 bushels red ditto, at 1 doll. 3c.; and 1,000 ditto damaged Western at 65c.; Rye was more freely offered, and the market favoured the purchaser. A lot of 700 bushels sold at 82c. to 8210. afloat and 84c. delivered. Oats were in fair request with sales of State and Canadian at 44c. to 45ie., and Jersey at 41c. to 43c. Barley was scarce, and wanted at 89c. to 1 doll. 3c. Corn-The receipts have increased and the market was heavy. Buyers evinced little disposition to operate, except at reduced prices. Since our last some 23,000 bushels have changed hands at 71c. for Southern yellow, 70ic. for weevily Southern and Jersey (old) yellow, 70c. for old Northern ditto in store, 69c. to 69c. for old mixed Western in store, 66c. for new Southern white, and 62ic. for new Northern yellow.

The vice-chair was filled by John Murray, Esq., of Strathisla House, Bow. About two hundred sat down to a splendid repast, served in Bathe and Breach's usual good style. Among many other patriotic and charitable Scotsmen present we observed David Dewar, Esq., Robert Hepturn, Esq.,Andrew Maclure, Esq., W. S.

It being Saturday, the hour fixed for dinner was six o'clock, at which time precisely the chairman entered the ball, accompanied by the stewards, the officers of the corporation, and their friends, the improvement on the usual late dining hour being that by ten o'clock all the toasts were got through, thus giving the company an opportunity of either retiring at this early hour, or of prolonging the entertainment by a promenade through the coffee and other suite of rooms with their more im mediate friends, as choice may dictate. Such was the case on this occasion, and it would be well that all pub lic dinners were fixed for the same early hour, on what ever day of the week they might happen; the change would be estimated. The galleries were filled with elegantly dressed ladies, the wives and relatives of the members. The walls were tastefully hung with flags, clan tartans, shields, and spears. The musical depart ment was both numerous and varied, for Mr. Mackay, with the juvenile pipers of the Caledonian Asylum were there, also the instrumental band of the same institution, as well as Mr. George and his vocal company, with Mr. Cooper representing the songs of Scotland. The cloth removed and grace said, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast, which was always welcome in every assembly in these domi nions—the health of their beloved Sovereign—but par ticularly so in a company of Scotsmen, who were ever unflinching in their attachment to the throne. The blood of the Stuarts ran in her veins, and well was she aware of it; but it was not f, _r that alone that she was so beloved, but for her amiable character as Queen, wife, and mother; and so warmly is she attached to her husband, that he was sure she would be delighted to hear that they associated his name with her own as partner of the first toast of that evening. lie would therefere pro pose to them " The health of her Most Gracious Ma jesty and her Royal Consort Prince Albert." Drunk with Highland honours, the royal anthem being sung by the company standing. The CHAIRMAN then said, the next toast is that of the heir presumptive of these realms, " His Royal Highness Duke of Rothesay, Lord of the Isles, and Prince of Wales." He took the liberty of naming his Royal Highness after his Scottish titles, first, because he thought he was justified in doing so in a company of Scotsmen cele brating their patron Saint's day • also, that he took his title from the county town he had the honour to represent in Parliament, and where also are the ruins of the seats of the families from whom he had descended. Moreover he knew that his illustrious mother the Queen was proud of the title of her eldest son, for he had the honour to he present when the royal yacht entered Rothesay Bay, and saw her Majesty directing the young Prince's attention to the beautiful town from whence be derived by birthright his chief Scottish title. Drunk with Highland honours. Air, " Weal may the keel row." The CHAIRMAN rose to pay honour to the great arms of our defence by sea and land, " The Army and Navy," for which Colonel Anstruther returned thanks in an ex cellent speech, testifying to the high efficiency and disci pline of the forces. The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to see by his side a gentleman who dwelt in that country which had sprung from our own, and in which the world saw a mighty , nation in the enjoyment of all the privileges which cha racterised free institutions. In the United States of America there were many Scothmen who had left their country in dejection and despair.—(Hear.) Some of them had returned to tell their countrymen how they had been received, others had remained in the United States and had become some of the most distinguished citizens of the States.—(Hear.) There had been an attempt made to show that the Americans were not only rivals, but were enemies. But events had proved the absurdity of this idea. For himself, he loved to think of America, as the loving daughter of this, the mother country. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by pro posing "Mr. J. C. Davis, the Secretary of the United States Legation".—(Loud cheers.) Mr. DAVIS then rose amidst most enthusiastic cheer ing, and said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—l have listened with the greatest pride to your kind mention of my country, and more especially to the manner in which you have connected it with Scotland, the land of classic song, the land of domestic virtues, and the land of religious and civil freedom. I hare heard, too, with great pleasure, the hopes you have expressed for the future—hopes which, if realised, promise peace for the world; and I cannot but feel that such sentiments well become a nation the record of whose valour is written in the history of three continents, and may well be re sponded to by their descendants, of whom the annals of the fourth present no mean tale. When I see the two richest and most commercial—the two freest and most progressive nations of the earth united every day more and more firmly by the ties of a common language, a common interest, and a common origin —when I behold the emblems of these two nations knit together in no fratricidal contest, but twined in friendly embrace—when I hear your kind welcome and feel my own breast heave with the vain effort to find a fitting response—l seem to see, notwithstanding the signs of war elsewhere, a promise of peace for the world, and to behold, almost commencing, the happy time when the wilderness and solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. The thought is as true as it is hackneyed, that the mission of these two nations is one of peace—to main tain peace between themselves, and by their moral ex ample to enforce it upon others—to turn their energies at home to the development of their resources, to the cultivation of their industry, and to the education and improvement of their respective people; while abroad, by extending their commerce, by planting in remote and savage lands the standard of their common faith, and by , exhibiting to despotism the blessings of liberty, to anar chy the advantages of order, and to idleness the dignity of labour, the world shall gradually he led to follow an example made illustrious by success. That you compre hend this mission I see in the palace your genii are con juring into visible shape in Hyde-park. That the world comprehends it is shown by the treasure it is preparing to pour into that palace. The choicest productions of modern science and art will be gathered next year in the metropolis of the earth. Hither nations will come to forget national jealousies, to learn thl.t isolation is not a necessity, and to carry away ideas for future development. Here we will come from America —come not by the tens or the hundreds, but by the shiploads and the thousands, and come to strive for the victory—come to conquer if possible. But it vanquished, we will sit at your feet without envy, and learn of you the arts in which you excel. A people of commerce, we will como here to the fountain of com merce. A people of agriculture, we will come here to see agriculture in its perfection. A people striving to excel in manufactures, we will come here to see where they were cradled; and, above all, a nation of labourers, we will join i n this m ighty tribute to the dignity of labour. As the Israelites went up to Jerusalem to worship, will we aomo boo to this our 1.4.1 dlititPat The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital, the anniversary of which they were met to celebrate." From the time when the two kingdoms were united this institution bad existed. From small beginnings it had swollen, by Royal favour, to those proportions under which it was now enabled to dispense comfort and relief to a large number of destitute objects. No less a sum than 2,3001. was annually expended by this charity, and no less than one hundred persons received an annual benefit of 101., and there was a large number of its pensioners who annually received sums a little below 104 These sums were distributed in monthly portions for the re lief of the destitute ; and the society, moreover, contri buted liberally towards the education of a considerable number of youths in Scotland. He could not imagine any charity to which less objection ceuld be raised than to this which they were net to celebrate. It was a cha racteristic of the Scottish nation that, while they were regarded as a thrifty, hard-working people, they were ever ready to extend the blessings of th e i r c h ar i ty in every clime. It had become a sort of bye-word—by some it was thought a reproach—that the Scotch always hanged together. He would only say, " Long may they hang together in carrying out, as they do, works of cha rity."—(Cheers.) He trusted that the result of that night's subscriptions would show the zeal of the sup porters of this excellent institution. He would not say let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, but lot every man put his hand somewhere else.—(Laughter.) Mr. Cnisnonm ANSTEY rose to express the plea sure he felt in having the honour to be the first that pro posed the Right Honourable Gentleman the Chairman's health at a public dinner, after his recent election to the distinguished office he now filled in the City. After referring to the Honourable Gentleman's career and ex cellent qualifications, he begged them to do justice to the toast, by drinking it with Highland honours, The CmainmaN begged they would accept his best thanks for the kind reception they gave to his name, and to the Honourable Gentleman who submitted it to them. It was true he felt the distinguished honour the corpora tion of London had paid him in electing him to the high position of Recorder; but he was there that evening not as Recorder of London, but as Member for Butesbire and a Scotchman.—(Cheers.) Every man had naturally a liking to his own family, and he felt the same feeling towards his—the corporation of London; he would therefore beg to propose to them one of that family, worthy their pledging in their peculiar enthusiastic manner. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by pro posing the health of Mr. Deputy Peacock. Mr. PEACOCK returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN again rose to propose the success of the different 6cottish societies of London, charitable and patriotic. GEORGE BAIN, Dq., returned thanks in the name of the Royal Highland Society. Other toasts followed, and afterwards the company retired to partake of coffee; previous to which the se cretary read a list of contributions as follows:—The Chairman, 101. 10s.; J. B. Allan, St. Pau 's Churchyard, 101. 10s.; Mr. Anderson, 10/.105.; Messrs, Phillips and Groves, 101. 10s. each, and John Murray, the Vice- Chairman, 20 guineas. Mr. Higgs officiated as toast-master.

Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial Office, for the Governors of the West India colonies. NEW NAVAL NIGHT SIGNALS.—Thesa newly-in vented lights have, during this and th e preced i ng week, been tried several times between the Semaphore, in the Dockyard, and the Griffon brigantine, at th e entrance of Far e ham Lake, a distance of three miles. The trials have been made under the inspection of a com m itt ee of effleers, comprising Captain Chula, of the Excellent ; Capt a in Bla c k woc d, o f the Victory; Captain H. F. Blackwood, Bark, of the Vengeance; Captain Henderson, late of the Blenheim ; Commander Hand, of the Hecate, and Lieutenant Corbett, of the Excellent. The first few trials were somewhat unsatisfactory, but the later ones were more successful; and it would appear that the system may (with improvements, which will probably be suggested by experience to the inventor, Dr. Thompson) is be brought to such a state of practical perfection, as to make it one of real utility to the naval service. The system divided into two parts, one of which is for sea-going ships, and by which signals may be made at a distance of three miles in a dark night; and the other is intended for Dockyards, flag ships, &c., and which is to be capable of signalling at a dis tance of eight miles. It is only the first-named system that has been tested at present.—Fortanouth Times and Naval Gazette. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.--Tbe new contract for the maintenance of the permanent way has been let. It commences on the Ist of December, 1850, and will save 30,0001. a year, equal to one-half per cent. per annum on the dividend.
