MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY). Although the supplies of English Wheat on sale iu the leading country markets, held on Saturday, were small, the demand for that grain ruled very inactive, at barely stationary prices. Fine foreign Wheats were mostly held at it'll currencies. There was rather more doing in Barley, especially malting parcels. No change took place in Oats or Flour; but Beans and Peas were lower to purchase. Letters from New York, to the 30th ult., state that the Grain and Flour markets were dull, without material change in the quotations. There was rather more doing in Wheat. at Danizic, on the 2nd inst. Throughout France, Holland, and Belgium, the trade continues dull. Up to our markets last week, the arrivals of English Grain were small; but a fair quantity of Oats came to hand from Ireland. The imports from abroad, amounted to 4,150 quarters of Wheat; 3,996 Oats; 3,871 Beans; 35 Peas; 32 Tares; 6,975 Linseed; 165 Rapeseed; 336 Mustard Seed; 2,126 Sundry Seeds; 4,576 sacks and 3,705 brie. Flour. Fresh up to this morning's market a very limited sup ply of Wheat recached us from Essex and Kent coast wise. From Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Suffolk, several came to hand, per railway, in very middling condition. The show of samples of both red and white Wheat of home produce was comparatively small; how ever, the demand for all descriptions, especially as we had au increased number of buyers in attendance, ruled steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon day last, and at which a good clearance was effected. Several offers came to hand to ship Wheats from the east coast at previous quotations; but the large arrivals of foreign Flour induced great caution on the part of the millers and others. The quantity of fresh Foreign Wheat on show was comparatively small; but we were well supplied ex gra nary. Selected parcels of white moved off freely at full rates of currency. In the middling and interior kinds very little was doing. With English Flour we were scantily supplied, but the show of both French and American was extensive. On the whole rather a large business was doing in most kinds, and late rates were well supported. The few parcels of malting Barley brought forward were speedily disposed of at an advance in the quotations of ls. per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off freely at fully previous rates. There was rather more inquiry for Malt, the supply of which was very moderate, and late currencies were well supported. Good fresh Oats were firm and quite as dear. In the value of damp and out-of-condition qualities no change took place. The demand for Beans ruled very inactive at late figures. The supply of foreign was extensive. All kinds of Peas moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in their quotations. Indian Corn was mostly held at full prices, but the de mand for it was inactive.

Out of the 945 Sheep from Ni eu 1)109 79 died on the passage. Letters from our large grazing, districts state that most of the farms are heavily stocked with both Beasts and Sheep; but the arrivals hitherto during the season have exhibited a slight deficiency. Food is , very abundant and cheap, and very few serious cases of disease have presented themselves for some time past. Beef and Mutton, as well as Veal and Pork, are still selling at higher rates in Holland than in this country; yet the facilities which this market affords the Dutch graziers of obtaining supplies of silver appear to be the great inducements to ship largely. The imports of foreign stock into the Unitr , d Kingdom, during the first nine months of 1849 and 1850, were as under-- 1849. 1850.

The number of foreign Beasts and Sheep on offer in to-day's market was good, but that of Calves and Pigs was limited. With home-fed Beasts, we were very scantily supplied as to number, while their general quality was unusually inferior. The weather being more favourable for slaughtering, and the attend ance of both London and country buyers large, the Beef trade ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of full 2d per Sibs, and a good clearance was effected. The primest Scots sold steadily, at from 3s 10d to 4s per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 2,600 short horns; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds—the remainder of the Bullock supply being derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. There was a decided falling off in the supply of English-fed Sheep, but they were mostly in good condition. For all breeds the cle maed ruled somewhat active, and the currencies im proved quite 2d per 81bs. The primest Old Downs realised 4a to 4s 2d per Blbs. Very few Calves were on offer, while the Veal trade was steady at 2d per Sibs more money. There was more business doing in pigs, the prices of which had, in some instances, an up ward tendency.

This case cane before his Honour upon the excep tions to the Master's report, allowing exceptions taken by the plaintiffs to the answer of the defendants. The case relates to questions of account between the defen dants, who are merchants in London, and the plaintiffs, who are merchants at Calcutta. The case, which is of no interest except to the parties, occupied the Court. the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices COLERIDGE, WIGHTMAN, AND ERLE.) WILLIAMS V. MORGAN. This was an action of replevin, brought to try the right of the defendant to somewhere about 1,000 acres of unenclosed lands, in the county of Brecon. The trial was 13( fare Mr. Baron Parke, at the last assizes for Bre conshire, and lasted four days, the result being a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant HERBERT JONES this morning applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the grounds that the verdict was contrary to evidence, an a of misdirection on the part of the Learned Jud ge . i The question involved a the case was whether certain lands called Moneth-y.gloth, which is Welsh for the Mountain of the Rock , was called or r eputed to be held ed to one Reynold Davis, an ancestor of the d e f e ndant, by Lord Jerly in 1819. The points in e t 0 , n parcel,ey or member of one of certain farms which were as part, r v the argument were o nl y interesting to the parties con cerned. Lord CAMPBELL said he was of opinion that there was no misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge who tried the cause. With respect to the evidence, be would consult Mr. Baron Parke before deciding whether the rule should be granted on the ground of the verdict being contrary to the evidence. The rest of the judges concurred in the propriety of this course. CARA V. COLE. This was an action of trespass to recover a compensa tion in damages for the injuries alleged to he sustained by one tiosetta Carr, an infant suing by her next friend, who was run over by the defendant's cart. The plaintiff was nonsuited on the trial, and in the course of last week Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule nisi to set aside the nonsuit and enter a verdict for 101. damages. The Court took time to consider their decision. inrd CAMPBELL this morning said he was of opinion that the rule should be refused. The ground on TA hich the Court proceeded was that the action was one of tres pass on the ease, and that the plea of not guilty raised the issue as t o w h e th er th e r e was negligence or not on the part of the d e f en d an t, and as the jury found that there no negligen ce , the Court were of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule refused accordingly. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Bithee, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) GRAY V. MANNINGSLY. Mr. CLEASBY was instructed, on behalf of Mr. Gray, to move for leave to file articles of peace against a gen tleman named Manningsly. Mr. Gray, who was in court, was formerly a cotton-spinner at Glasgow, re ceiving a considerable income from his business, and Mr. Manningsly was a woollen cloth merchant, at Hud dersfield. At the beginning of this year, there having been previous transactions between them , Mr. Gra y was induced to enter into a verbal agreement el partnership with Mr. Manningsly, and he gave up a business yielding between 5,000/. and 6,000/. to do so, in the month of April last. From that time ho continued to attend at the counting-house and warehouse of the partnership, in Huddersfield, until the occurrence now complained of. It appears that some dispute arose between the parties in October, and on a day towards the latter end of that month, while Mr. Gray was in the counting-house, his partner came up to him and asked him what he wanted there? lie replied. " What do you suppose I want?" and there upon Mr. Manningsly ordered him to leave the premises, which he refused to do. Mr. Manningsly then called in the assistance of his brother and clerk, and forcibly dragging him away thrust him out, and threw him down stairs. His head struck forcibly againt the wall, while his hat was completely crushed by the blow, and had the staircase not been a twisted one, it was impossible to say what would have been the consequencoF. Not content with doing him this injury, Mr. Manningsly followed him down stairs, and told him that if he caught him there again he would kick his soul to h—. Mr. Gray applied to the local magistracy to hold his partner to bail, but they declined to interfere, and he had, therefore, been compelled to come to this court for protection. Mr. Justice PATTESON observed, that the party did not swear that he believed his life was in danger, or that he went in fear of personal violence. CLEASBY said he did not, he only went the length of swearing thut he apprehended danger if he went upon the premises to attend to his business, as his partner was a powerful man of a violent temper. ills Lordship would perceive from the affidavit that his means of subsistence depended upon the partnership business. Mr. Justice PATTESON—The question is whether I ought to give relief on that ground. Mr. CLEASBY said what he submitted was this, although his client did not go generally in fear of violence, although Mr. Manningsly was not in search of him or going about to find him for the purpose of in flicting injury on him, yet that was no reason whatever for refusing this application, because his partner kept him iu such terror that he could not attend to his daily avocations. Mr. Jestice PATTESON was not aware of any similar case. He has no reason to apprehend danger except he goes upon the premises. Mr. CLEASBY pointed out to his Lordship that it was necessary for him to go there to look after his own in terest, and prevent the partnership property from being made away with, or the partnership debts being paid. If he had no right to be there he ought to be turned out peacab:y end in a legal manner. Mr. Justice PATTESON—He will have to go on the other side of the Hall to settle the partnership dispute. I think, as he is prevented by threats of serious personal injury from attending to his business, the case comes within the principle upon which the Court interferes. You may therefore take an attachment to hold the gen tleman to bail for 12 months, himself in 4001., and two sureties in 2001. Application granted. rim UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Captain Sharman, passed Holy head at a very early hour this morning, and arrived here about mid-day. This fine vessel left Boston on the 30th ult., made the fortnightly call at Halifax on the 2d, and brings from 60 to 70 passengers. The news is not important so far as the United States are concerned. The advices from Mexico, however, are important to the commercial world. The state of financial affairs in that _country was so disastrous that the Fi nance Minister felt himself compelled to announce his determination of suspending payments, unless he were authorised to draw upon the one and a half million of dollars which still remained of the American indemnity. From Port-au-Prince we learn that the Domini cans were resorting to the s trongest possible measures in order to repel the threatened invasion of the Haytian people. Advices from Havannah do not speak encou ragingly of the affairs of Cuba. The island had been thrown again into ferment by fresh reports of an in. vasion. The Canadian intelligence does not possess a feature worth extracting. From our United States news we learn that the Fugitive Slave Bill was more unpopular than ever. The greatest obstacles were thrown in the way of those of the authorities who were resolute in the carrying out of its provisions. COMMERCIAL NEWS. The Money-market at New York, since the depar ture of the Arctic, had been very easy. Money was plentiful, and could be obtained at very moderate rates. The general trade of the country continues in the same satisfactory condition as before. Exchange on London, 1101 1101 (the market was very firm); on Hamburgh, 36 to 36f. The market for breadstuffs was rather quiet, and not many transactions reported. Holders were wait ing further advices from England. Prices were as follows :—Western Canal flour, 4 dolls. 50c. to 4 dolls. 6...4e. (very firm) ; Crenessee prime wheat, doll. 12c. to 1 doll. 14c. per 601b5.; Indian corn, round yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel. The cotton market at New York and other ports had been most active since the Arctic's departure. Large sales had been made and prices had advanced. The following are the latest quotations in the New York market :—Uplands and Florida mid. fair to fair, I.li to 15. Freights were unaltered and steady. TWO DAYS LATER. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX.) Previous to the departure of the America from Halifax, advices two days later were received on board, by telegraph, from New York. There is nothing of importance in the commercial items. In the political intelligence, however, we have an announcement from President Fillmore that he had determined on calling out the military to enforce the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Bill. - - THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Dee, with West India and Mexican mails, arrived this evening. She brings 280,480 dollars in the aggregate, 30,000 of which are on account of Mexican dividends. There are no later dates from Jamaica or California. The cholera had disappeared at Acapulco. Pa nama and the Isthmus were healthy. It was re-, ported that the Nicaraguans were about to make an( attempt to recover Grey Town. The cause of thei Dee's late arrival was in consequence of the Clyde! having met with bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico, which prevented her reaching St. Thomas's in proper time. There are no mails from Tampico. A revo lution had broken out at Panama, the object of which was to establish a new republic, and to annex it to the United States. It was a signal failure. opfriWne:lessu'rro Among unded b y thealexhibi tions THE PRINCE OF W • • ALEs's BIRTRDAY.-110 homage to theatres and public institutions of the metropolis testified their respect for the Crown on Saturday last, by illuminating in horLur of the anniversary of the birthday of the tions were thole at the Gallery of Illustration, in Regent street, which had a large painting, representing the Queen Prince a d t hw the British throne, surmounted by the Prince Cf Wales's crest and motto, " !eh Dien " in brilliant jets of gas; and at Messrs.

During his time of office, an unusual and memorable series of civic festivities have fallen to his rightful share to partake of; amongst them may be named the magnificent banquet at the Man sion-house, London, to the different mayors, and honoured by the presence of his Royal highness Prince Albert; and, more recently, the one one so liberally subscribed tor at Yolk, these entertainments bringing together gentlemen se lected by :heir townsmen, as a mark of esteem, to fill the pleasing sic, important office of mayor.

THE NORFOLK ESTUARY• TURNING THE FIRST SOD. LYNN. SATURDAY, Nov. 9.—The ceremony of turn ing the first sod of this great national under taking took place ht.ro on Friday. After a long period of expectancy, from the year 1839 to the present, after many alterna tions of hope and fear, many ";lair-breadth t seep( s," many Bills and improved Bills one after another defeated by the forms of Parliament or by the opposition of in terested patties, a commencement of the works has at length been made. The Norfolk Estuary, or Metaris Estuarum, is that broad open space of sands and chan nels, entirely covered at high tide, lying between the counties of Norfolk and Lincoln, and into which are dis charged the waters of the Ousts, the Nene, the Witham, and the Welland. There can be no doubt but that many centuries ago efforts were made by the Romans resident in Briton to reclaim portions of this waste, and in se veral instances the sea has been successfully repelled, and many hundreds of fertile acres of land' per manently added to the island. This has been erected by straightening and embanking the course of the rivers outward to the estuary, and by the or ection of barrier banks, which have barred off the swell of the turbulent waters, and have also served to retain the soil held in suspension, and brought to deposit behind them at every high tide. Within the memory of persons still living much of the district now arable was bog, and the passenger had to be conducted by guides across the swampy marsh, fordable only, at low water. From the time of the Earl of Bedford, the many pro prietors of the levels have, by the powers of several Acts cf Parliament, carried out measures of improvement of ' drainage, and many elaborate repo] is have been published from time to time by eminent engineers upon the drain age and navigation of these districts. In possession of all this knowledge, and aware of the vast improvements yet to be gained, Lord William Bentinek, subsequently appointed Governor-General of British India, having large properties in the neighbourhood, turned his atten tion to a further inclosure of the estuary. The demise of his Lordship, however, stopped the development of his ideas, until, in 1837, the matter was again taken up by the late Lord George Bentinek, who, being. Member for the borough of Lynn, placed himself at the head of the adventure. The project of that date comprehended the joint training of the several rivers to a contracted and common outfall, and the reclamation on either side of the channel on the coasts of Norfolk and Lincoln of tracts of land, amounting in all to about 150,000 acres. This plan was reported on by several engineers, Sir J. Rennie, Mr. Rendall, Professor Gordon, and others, and having been defeated in Parliament upon a point of form as to the standing orders of the House, aas finally abandoned as being too comprehensive and difficult. We are informed that the late Sir J. Rennie had recom mended the magnificent plan of entirely deviating the course of the Ouse from above Lynn, turning it on the opposite side of the town and by a straight ship canal discharging its waters at once into the North Sea near to Hunstanton. After much labour, much opposition, and much disquietude, Lord G. Bentinck and his co directors having formed a joint-stock company for the reclamation of 32,000 acres by the straightening and improving the outtall of the Ouse, obtained the powers of an Act of Parliament to authorise the p:oject in the year 1846. The estimated cost of the works was 250,000/., which was raised in shares of 501. each, and we aro in formed, that a large proportion of the shares are held by the family and immediate friends of the late noble Chairman. After the Bill was obtained, L.trd G. Bentinek applied himself to the pecuniary prospective remunera ttion of the company, and resolved, chiefly because of the hen untoward state of the money market, and also because he thought that other interests might be induced to assist the company, to pause before commencing the works. The result fully justified his Lordship's forethought; and the town of Lynn and the Eau Brink Commissioners, representing above 200,000 acres of land, have agreed to contribute each to the company the sum of 60,000/., making a clear bonus to the shareholder» of 120,0001. be side their first estimated profits.• In 1849, the company, under the guidance of their present chairman, Sir W. Ffolkes, obtained a Bill to empower them to receive the contributions of Lynn and the Levels. Sir W. Floikes, adhering to the policy of the Noble Lord, and in concert with the directors, resolved not to proceed with the works until every obstacle was removed, every possible scrutiny submitted to, and until the whole scheme, as regarded the several interests, was submitted to the se verest test. Under such circumstances the Norfolk Es tuary Company commenced their labours on Friday. The day appointed for the ceremony was kept as a holiday in the town, the shops and offices having been closed at eleven o'clock. A procession, formed by the members of the corporation, the chairman and directors of the Estuary Company, the gentlemen cf the Bedford Level, and several of the most influential inhabitants of the borough and county, left the Tuesday market-place at noon, and proceeded by the New-cut Bridge to North Lynn. Triumphal arches were erected along the line ,of procession, and the large concourse of persons, accom ,panied by musical instruments, and marching beneath waving banners, imparted a more than usual animation to the scene. The spot from which the sod was cut was in the centre of the channel. The ground around was staked out in a circle, and kept by a strong body of police. The chairman, on entering the enclosure, was received by Sir John Rennie and Mr. Peto, amidst great cheer ing. At this moment there could not have been less than 10,000 persons present. Sir William Flolkes then took the spade and in a very workmanlike manner broke up the ground, and commenced filling the harrow, in which process he was assisted by the Earl of llardwicke, the Earl of Leicester, Mr. R. G. Townley, M.P., the , ' Rev. G. Townley, Mr. A. Hammond, Mr. R. 13a,gge, Mr. J. Fryer, and Miss Wodehouse, who severally deposited a spade of earth upon it. It was then wheeled by the Mayor of Lynn some distance, amidst hearty rounds of applause. After the ceremony had been conclude d, Sir W. FrOLKES addressed the spectators, and ex pressed his hope that the great undertaking which the company had at last commenced might be brought to a successful issue. The procession then reformed and re turned to the town. In the evening, the Estuary Company and their friends assembled at a magnificent banquet in the Town Hall. Covers'were laid for 150 guests. The chair was taken by Mr. Walter Moyse, the Mayor of Lynn. Amongst the guests we noticed the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Hardwicke, Viscount Jocelyn, M.P., Sir W. J. H. B. Ffolkes, Bart., Sir J. Rennie, Bart., Mr. H. G. Townley, M.P., Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., the Rev. Canon Wode house, the Revs. H. Ffolkes, J. Bowen, 0. Carrie, W. Gale Townley; Major Swatman, Captain Curtis, Lieutenant Garland, Lieutenant Curtis, Messrs. A. • Hamond, B. Barge, E. Everard, F. Cresswell, W. Everard, J. Fryer, W. Ffolkes, H. Bruce, G. iogge, J.

After the cloth had been removed, and the usual toasts disposed of, Viscount JOCELYN rose to propose " The health of the Chairman and Directors of the Norfolk &glary Com pany." His Lordship said, I regret that the honour of proposing the toast, which I believe may be regarded as the toast of the evening, has not fallen into other han d s , by which justice might be done to it in a more satisfactory manner than I can pretend to. I could have wished that it had fallen into the hands Of some person better acquainted with the subject, and more thoroughly conversant with its details; but though I am not quali fied, I think it may be fairly permitted to me, my Lords and Gentlemen, to congratulate you upon the auspicious opening of that undertaking which has been this day commenced, an undertaking in which many of you are so deeply interested. That undertaking is not, indeed, upon the same scale of magnitude as was originally proposed, when it was contemplated that we should add another county to the empire, by inclosing some 100,000 suare acres of land. I think the calculation was originally 200,000 acres within the bounds of our estuary, but I believe that the present pro ject has a similar undertaking in view, though more limited in its details, and I cannot but think that we are justified in looking forward to' the day when the enterprise, even as originally coaternplet,d, may be eventually carried out. It is my conviction that the undertaking in which we aro now engaged is one of the utmost importance to the interest of the neigh bouchood. I believe that it must be of great practical utility, having, as it has, for its object the more effectual drainage of land. It will bring into cultivation large tracts of land now waste and desolate; give an opening for capital to be employed in the vicinity, and create fresh fields for the market of labour. These considera tions would be in themselves sufficient to justify me in giving to this enterprise my warmest approval and ms molt cordial co-operation, bat I confess I cannot wholly view it in that liberal light, I must look on it in a more selfish aspect, as an undertakitig which is vitally connected with the welfare of this great and enterprising town, as being calculated to enlarge its commerce and increase its wealth. If lam informed rightly, the cut now proposed to he made will give you a deep, straight, and safe chan nel, where now there is a shallow, circuitous, and some times a dangerous one.—(Hear, hear.) If lam rightly informed, it will give to your shipping two hours more in each tide for the purpose of navigation. These are great objects in the economy of 'time and expense, -•ind sufficiently attest the vast utility and extraordinary im portance of the undertaking.—(Hear.) Some weeks since it was my fortune to be sejourningin the town of Glasgow, and there I saw the effect of ente phew and well- , applied capital in creating a great and ing city. Ships are now brought into the very heart of the town which formerly lay many m a ss below it.. The effect of these improvements is that the imports and exports have doubled, and now Glas g ow is the third seaport in the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) Now, lookiiag around at the competition which is carried on between the borough in which we are now assembled and the neighbouring sea port towns, and considering the greater facilities for im provement which we possess over Wisbee.ch and Boston, I cannot but think that theta is no exertion, however ar duous, no sacrifice of toil and money, however great, which we ought not willingly to make in order to main tain that prominent position which it appears d es i gne d that we should occupy.—(Hear, bear.) I could wish that my honourable friend and colleague were hero this evening, that he might give you the expression of his feelings upon this interesting subject with that eloquence an d Ility which you know him to possess —an elo quence and ability which have already gained for him a high position in the House of Commons, slid which lead many to hope he may yet emulate th e grea t a bilitie s and the great qualities ef bis illmtrious father.— (Loud cheers.) lam persuaded that ho is as sincerely anxious for the welfare, of this town as I am myself, and lam confident that nothing would have pr uv: nted him f ro m being here this evening had it berm possible fur him to attend. But you are aware that he is absent in a fo reign country, where he is studying to acquire that in formation and that knowledge which are so necessary to a public man. I can only say on his ' p,rt, and my own, that there is no attention which we sill not deem it a happy privilege to bestow on any measure which our constituents ,may think to bo beneficial to the town. I will not enter into the history of this undertaking. Many speakers will follow me who will be better qualified to do so than I, but I cannot avoid observing that it is not possible for any one who has paid any attention to there subjects not to be struck by the vast magnitude and im mense importance of the various drainage operations which have been undertaken in this county, from the first works that were projected by the Earl of Bedford in 1652, to the formation of the Eau Brink Cut.—(Bear, hear.) There is no man, I say, who must not be struck with the magnitude and success of these operations. We have all beard of that Monarch who, in the plenitude of pride and power, when seated on the beach, willing to reprove the impiety of his Ministers and courtiers, vainly bade the waters to retire—little did he dream, when he impiously attempted to imitate the Almighty, that the day would yet arrive when the Almighty would give to man that knowledge, that science, and that strength which would enable him to turn the. waste of waters into luxuriant plains, producing food and affording em ployment to an industrious population.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The traveller is struck with asto nishment when told that over the fields whew souse weeks cgo he might have seen luxuriant crops and bus baudmen busily pursuing their toil, the tidal waters swept a few years since without check or hindrance. But the energy and genius of man has accomplished these great wonders, and in these and similar achieve meats are to be seen the proudest monuments of the indomitable industry of Englishmen.—(Enthusiastic ap plause.) You, Mr. Mayor, were recently afforded in your civic capacity an opportunity which was not per mitted to me of joining in that magnificent banquet which you and your brother mayors gave - in the city of York in return for the hospitality to which you were invited by the Lord Mayor of London, when he desired last summer to discuss with you the prospects of that Exhibition at which the people of England have chal lenged the nations of the world to compete with them in industry arid skill. At that brilliant assembly in York you had the opportunity of hearing a speech delivered by an illustrious Prince, who, although of foreign birth, is now the first English subject, and shows that during his residence in this country he has learned to under ►tand and appreciate tee English character. That illustrious personage well portrayed in a speech the doubts and hesitation which invariably attend upon every fresh undertaking in this country. He described the minuteness and jealousy with which every new pro ject was scanned, but he did not fail to remind us that when we were once persuaded of the value and utility of an enterprise there is no sacrifice, however great, no exertion, however arduous, that we are not prepared to make in its behalf.—(Hear, hear.) These remarks do not seem inappropriate to the undertaking in which we are now engaged, for we all remember with what doubts and difficulties it was surrounded at its onset. It has triumphed, however, over all these obstacles, and we have now the consolation of reflecting that it is not an undertaking put forward by a set of speculators, but a bona fide project, in which the inhabitants of the entire neighbourhood are deeply interested. Without meaning to allude to any political difference that I may have had with some of the valued friends around me, I trust I may be permitted to say, that it is with gratification I observe, that at a period when the agricultural interest may be said to be in some doubt as to the effect of past legisla tion, a body of men has been found willing to embark heart and soul in such an undertaking as that which we have to-day so auspiciously commenced.—(Hear.) " Hope springs eternal in the human breast." —(Hear, bear.) Or perhaps it is that they agree with me that, whatever may happen, whatever may be in the womb of the future, the agricultural interest shall not perish.—(Hear, hear.) Would that they would go one single step further, and agree with me that, by the exercise of that energy which they ore continually dis playing, and which they exhibit at this moment in a re markable degree, by the application of that science• which is yet in its infancy, they may pass through that ordeal unscathed.—(Hear, hear.) The difficulties which encompassed the promoters of the work which we have this night assembled to celebrate,' were numerous and serious. One by ono they have vanished, but we have sustained a loss which can never be retrieved.—(Hear.) I believe there is no name more indelibly stamped on this great undertaking than the name of Lord George Bentinck.—(Vehement applause.) I thought it—l knew it. I knew there was no assembly where that name would be received with greater reverence and respect than this. It was in this town that we first learned to know his great abilities, his sound sense, his indomitable courage, his fearless ho nesty.—(Hear.) It is in this town that were first ap preciated those qualities which raised him in a day to be the leader of a party. I almost think I see him with us ; it seems but yesterday he stood amongst us full of life and vigour and hopeful ambition. Ile is past, but his memory remains ; and it is such a memory as in cites men to lofty deeds and noble enterprises. It is alone by such qualities as he possessed that men can hope to succeed who contemplate embarking in such an undertaking as the present.—(Hear.) It is by similar qualities alone, by fearless courage, by unwearying energy, by undaunted perseverance, that undertakings such so these are conducted to a successful conclusion.— (Loud cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, I will not further trespass upon your time, but thank you for the attention with which you have heard me. I beg leave to propose the health of the chairman and directors of the Estuary Company.—(Cbeers.) Sir W. FFOLKES acknowledged the compliment. He said, I would willingly have spared addressing the com pany on this occasion, for the gout has deprived me of the use of my limbs, and a month's confinement in my room has nearly deprived me of the use of my tongue. — (Laughter.) I should, however, be very ungrateful if I could not find words to return thanks for the compliment you have paid the directors of the Estuary Company. We have been labouring from year to year, and many difficulties have assailed us. It is not necessary for me to enter now into detail, but I may say that nothing but ' the perfect confidence the directors had in the policy and advantages to be derived from the scheme could possibly have carried them along. Amongst the difficulties with which we have had to contend, certainly not the least, was the premature death of our late lamented chairman, Lord G. Bentinck; and no man more than myself regrets his death, because I have been called upon to hold a situation which he would have filled more ably.— (Cheers.) By degrees, however, our difficulties were overcome—the public got confidence in the work, ar.d after some negotiation by which we re ceived the noble present of 60,0001. from the town and trade of Lynn, and 60,0001. from the gen tlemen of the Levels—we felt ourselves upon pretty sure ground, and determined to proceed with the works as quickly as possible. Allusion has been made to the smallness of the scheme—the first plan was certainly on a more extensive scale, and comprehended the reclama tion of 150,000 acres of laud, which was afterwards ex tended to, I believe. 200,000 or 300,000 acres. We found, by the state of the money market, it was impos sible to carry ou. any works to that extent, and we therefore determined to confine ourselves to a smaller scale. The present Act is for the enclosure of 32,000 acres of land, but I confidently hope that those younger than mysef will hove to see 150,000 acres or more re claimed.—(Cheers.) I wish I could live to see it. I, have taken a great interest in the measure, but if I live to see the 32,000 acres reclaimed, it is all I can expect.. I am sure after the fatigue which I have undergone this day, you will excuse my saying more; but I had almost forgotten that I had turned my back upon this beautiful. trophy (turning to the silver spade which was suspended behind the Mayor). lam proud of such a present, and , upon such an occasion especially—it will go down to my family as an heir•loote, and I hope when my descendants look upon it they will not think that I have been an idle man in my day and generation.—(Loud elvers.) I have great pleasure in proposing to you "The he,:lth of the Lord-Lieutenant of the County."—(Loud cheers.) The Earl of LEICESTER proposed "The health of the Mayor of Lyne."—(Applause.) The MAYOR, on rising to acknowledge the toast, said _ _ —I can insure you I eceply feel the compliment you have been pleased to pay me. The only drawback to my pleasure has been the position I hrippert to occupy, knowing my inability to do justice to it.—(Hear, hear.), I have held that position in consequence of the indispo sition of the worthy chairman of the board of estuary directors; nevertheless, I thank you for the honour, and I aslur. , you my thanks are as heartfelt as any one can give you.—(Cheers.) During the time I have bad the honour of bolding the °ince of mayor, it has been my fortunate lot to be present at two of the greatest pageants, ever witnessed in England—l allude to the dinners given by the Lord Mayors of London and York, but I can assure you neither of them were so gratifying Ito my feelings as this meeting to-day.—(Loud cheers.) The vast undertaking which we have this day commenced will be the greatest possible boon to the town of Lynn. It will tend to give encouragement not only to our shipping, but to the agricultural labourers who will be employed on 32,000 acres of land—land which will last so long us the soil will be—so long as the soil shall last —ia perpetuity—not as in the case of a railway, which, although it increases labour for a time, is never inter fered with afterwards. Before I sit down I beg to pro pose to b ehtostoroouugthhe._he(aLltoluisd cheers,)ofthetwo noble representatives Mr. Stanley's absence from England was the only cause which prevented him from bring present on this occasion. lam proud to see Lord Jocelyn here, and I have great pleasure in giving you "The health of our Members."—(Loud cheers.) Viscount Jocelyn returned thanks. Mr. A. Isamostp, of Castle Acre, said that be had now to propose a toast which, happily for him, would require but few remarks, as it was the health of a nobleman well known in the borough, and whose family bad ree ptesented it in bygone years. The nobleman to whom he referred was distinguished by the rare combination of the highest social qualities, with habits and capacity for business such as were seldom to be met with even in persons of less elevated rank. Those who knew him were well sensible of the energy and activity of his mind, and those who were well acquainted with the details of the present undertaking were sensible that the directors were greatly indebted to him for his keen and clear suggestions. It was scarcely necessary fur him to add that the nobleman to whom he referred was the Right Honourable Lord Orford, Lord High Steward of the borough.—(Loud cheers.) Having intimated the purpose for which he had risen, he (Mr. Hamond) might now without impropriety resume his seat, and he should do so were it not that he had an impres sion that he might perhaps say a few words which might not be deemed inappropriate to the purpose of their meeting. Ile was not prepared to enter into any details respecting the project which had been that day so auspi ciously commenced, but he.could not help saying that he did not think the undertaking had been sufficiently lauded. He would take leave to give them his opinion as a practical farmer. Ile was not ashamed to say that it was in that capacity that he had given his co-opera tion to the design for establishing the Norfolk Estuary Company, It was not to Le questioned that the undertaking was one encompassed with diffiMs nor were those difficulties simply su ch as were to be expected from men ; they had a powerful enemy to contend with in the sea itself. The war which they waged against that crifty and determined adversary was such as Mr. Quaker Bright himself might view without alcm. They had no design to slaughter men, and they viewed bloodshed with as much eorror as the most sentimental philosepher3. They went to battle with no other weapons but that grubbing tool (pointing to the spade, which had been used in the ceremony of the morning, and which was suspended over the chairman'a head), and the only lust of conquest by which they were actuated was a determination io compel the sea to their yoke, and to make her subservient to the interests of hu manity.—(Hear, hear.) The land which they proposed to reclaim would not fall beck into a state of waste—it would generously compensate for the toils of the has headmen. Once reclaimed, they "[light grow wheat and beans on it for ever, and then wheat and beans. — (Laughter.) They were going to reap a harvest of wheat from fields which now only yielded a crop of waves, and they were willing to make a fair bargain with the towns people. They would say to them—we will buy your goods if you will buy our corn. It was with a view to bring about such a state of things as this that he for one had joined the undertaking, and he was persuaded that, viewed in that light, the project was as safe and sound an investment as a practical farmer could possibly engage in. He had spent years of his life in the dismal experiment of turning heath into corn, and that, too, at a great ex pense, and he conf es: . e d t h at h e was s i c k ene d of the ope ration. Do what be might—toil as he might—spend as he might—he found that his land after reclamation was not worth more than 12s. per acre—(Laughter)—but they bad now a fair prospect of reclaiming, at very little expense, land which, at a moderate calculation, would be worth 30s. or 40s. per acre. Where was the use of repining and making fuss about the low price of corn, which they could not help?— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) 'I here only course was to increase the production—they should do what they could to make their own position secure, and if they saw a neighbour sinking, they should hold out their hand and help him up. That was the way to go to work—thus only could they hope to pre serve self-respect, and the respect of the world. They should meet their destiny like men, and not gime way to selfish whimpering. The speaker concluded amid loud and general applause by proposing " The health of the Right Hon. Lord Orford, the High Steward of the Borough," which was drunk with the usual honours. The Earl of HARDWICKE proposed " The health of Mr. J. Fryer, late Chairman of the Corporation of the Bedford Level." Mr. FRYER returned thanks. Several other complimentary toasts followed, and the company separated, In the evening there were illuminations, and a display of fireworks in the market place. THE NATIONAL CONCERTS. Mr. Balfe's new "Hunting Chorus" was performed for the first time on Saturday, with complete success. It is a composition quite characteristic of the subject, and is sung by a limited, but carefully selected, English chorus. It is instrumented for violoncellos, trombones, and horns only, and each class of voice —the first and second tenors, and the first and second basses—has separate passages. The composition is replete with animation, and fully partakes of the sylvan character. The tnost striking feature i❑ the chorus is where it is necessary to describe the death of the stag, and the music suddenly changes from the boisterous and animated to the subdued and plaintive. The chorus was rapturously encored. LY CEUM THEATRE. On Saturday evening the performances at this house, which had been suspended for upwards of a week, owing to the severe accident which temporarily deprived Mr. C. Matthews of the use of his hand, were resumed. No novelty was produced ; but the theatre, although not positively crowded, was ex tremely wen filled, and the audience manifested their condolence to the manager on his misadventure, and their pleasure at his return by a cordial welcome, and frequent bursts of appleuse as he made his points. We are glad to find that the injury was not more se rious. Little diminution—if indeed any at all—was discernible in the spirit and vivacity of his impersona tion, and his movements were as agile as ever. With his usual adroitness Mr. Mathews made light of the inconvenience of acting with his arm in a sling, and the wounded hand i❑ a black bandage; and not the slightest awkwardness was perceptible from that embarrassing appendage—from which, however, we wish him a speedy riddance. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A new tragedy, in five acts, entitled The Templar, was produced here on Saturday with triumphant and most deserved succes. The author, Mr. Slous, is a new aspirant for dramatic fame, and he bids fair to become one of the best writers of acting plays of the day. He thoroughly understands the art of construc tion, and never commits the fault, the unnatural fault, of delaying the action of his drama in order to give his characters an opportunity of spouting sickly sentimentalities in misty language ; his characters are all human beings, not monsters of perfection or of vice, and they speak a human language and are actu ated by human feelings; we feel with them and we 1111.. derstand their expressions. The play is excellently well built, the interest is gradually worked up through every act, and the climax does not come until the end of the play. The scene is laid on the coast of Normandy, the time is at the time of the destruction of the Templars, and thus runs the plot :—Gaston la Marche, a French noble of the sect of the Albigenses, is living in the condition of a poor fisherman on the coast, with his daugbter Isoline. In the persecution of his sect his castle had been :sacked, and his wife and son mur dered, he himself having escaped with his infant daughter. The author of his ruin, Aymer de la Roche, has become a Templar, and is master of the Preceptory near which La Marche and his daughter dwe.t. A secret attachment has been formed between Isoline and Bertrand, a young soldier, who has con cealed from her that he is the follower of the Templar, and is himself under the monastic vow of the order. At length he reveals to her this secret, which she hears with grief and horror, and resolves to tear herself from him for ever. She seeks her father, and im plores him to fly with her to some other abode, but withholds the cause of her agitation, till pressed by his questions, she reveals her secret. La Marche dis covers another secret, by reading (somewhat irregu larly) a letter addressed to De la Roche, of which, in his lowly capacity, he has been employed to be the bearer; be discovers that his daughter's lover is the son of his arch-enemy the Templar, towards whom he nourishes implacable hatred. Thirsting for revenge, he seeks De la Roche, to whom he denounces Ber trand, as having, in breach of his vows, carried on an unholy interccurse with a woman. He contrives that his daughter shall again meet her lover ; and, in proof of his accusation, conducts the Master of the Templars to a place where he hears Bertrand urging: Isoline to fly with him. Bertrand is instantly seized, solemnly tried for breach of his vow, and: condemned to death. The Master offers him his life on condition of his revealing the partner of his crime, an offer which he firmly and scornfully rejects. La Marche, who, in the disguise of a monk, has wit nessed the trial, is touched to the heart by the youth's nobleness, and determines to save him. Seizing an opportunity, he communicates to Bertrand the secret of his birth (of which the youth himself is ignorant), and tells him to seek an interview with his father and reveal it to him, giving him also the means of proof. But Bertrand's guards refuse to conduct him to the Master's presence ; he is conducted to the scaffold, and the moment of his death has almost arrived when Isoline, who has made her way into the interior of the Preceptory by climbing over broken arches and ruined walls, throws herself wildly at the Master's feet, exclaiming that it is his own son who is about to suffer death. The stern Templar at first repulses her, but La Marche, who has followed her, avouches the truth. While the Templar hastily countermands the execution, the trumpet signal of death is heard, and all seems over, when suddenly there are sounds of conflict; a great body of troops, under the king's lieutenant, have stormed the castle. The soldiers of the Temple de fend• themselves bravely. Bertrand rushes to his father, and fights by his side. But the old man is slain ; his troops are routed ; and Philip of Valois, en tering at the head of his forces, proclaims the disf olu tion of the order and the banishment of the knights from France ;at the same time absolving from their vows the inferior grades of the order, and thus remov ing the bar to the union of Bertrand and Isoline. The part of Gaston de la Marche was sustained by Mr. Charles Kenn, and that of Isolke, his daughter, by Mrs. Charles Kean ;and never have we seen either of them to greater advantage. The scene in the second act, in which the old father discovers that his daughter has not given hies the whole of her confi dence, was superbly acted both by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean ; and in the scene in which Gaston denounce: Bertrand to the Templar, Mr. Charles Kean was most effective. The look of pride and hate which he casts on the Grand Muster, when he orders him to kneel as a serf, was the very perfection of acting. Fine, very fine was he in the trial scene ; and in the next scene, when he dare not look at his daughter crossing the ruined arch, but in agony listens to the account the woodman gives of her progress, and then when he hears she is safe falls senseless to the ground, giving one rgouized shriek, he was equal to his father. Mrs. Kean's delineation of the gentle, loving Isoline,was beautifully pathetic; and Mr. Belton ;have a most spirited version otthe part of Ber trand. The raise en scene was beautiful. The seacoast scene was equal to the best of Stanfield's productions, and for gorgeous magnificence we have seldom seen aath p i i n ar g s, to ns f. s p em pr n o l s e c d h f t o h r e c th h e apt t e r r ial of o t f he B lin ertr ig an h d ts . Beautiful exceedingly, too, was the subsequent scene of the ruined arch leading to the fortress of the Terrplars. At the conclusion the applause was rap turous. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean were first called on, then Mr. Belton, and then there were loud calls for the author, who bowed his thanks from a private box. The house was crowded in every part. THE IRISH SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.- An e x . carrion trip will be made over this line—from Carlow to Kilkeuuy— on Tuesday next.
