Yesterday a Court of Common Council t as - held at the Guildhall, f o r th e p urpose o f presen ti n the free dom of the City to the Right Honourable I:ord • Gough, agreeably to the resolution of the 6th of April, 1846. The court was filled with aldermen and common councilmen, arrayed in full robes of office specially for the occasion;and the part of the Council Chamber allotted to the public was crowded to ex cess with eager spectators of the interesting ceremony. The Right Hon. the Lord MayOr presided. After the usual preliminaries, The Clerk proceeded to read the resolution of the 6th April, 1846, voting the freedom of the city to Lord Gough, after which his Lordship was duly inducted, and took the customary oath. The CITY CHAMBERLAIN then rose amidst profound silence,. and said—d‘lY Lord Gough,--4n reflecting upon the events which have been the'oceasion of our •meeting this day, the mind is . naturaily led to contem plate a fact in connexion with our history, as !illation which forcibly illustrates one peculiarity in theeharae ter of the British people. It bath pleased Him who' " giveth no account of any of these matters",to permit, if not to ordain, that wars and tumults should desolate the fair globe which he has assigned to man ea his earthly residence. It may also seem strange that I should advert to this circumstance unless it ,wer e to draw attention to the happy fact that, although our colonies and de pendencies have not ajtogetkouseaped th4S ravages of 'vial., yet it hith — preinad that all-wise and merciful 'Providence to vouchsafe to this highly-favoured island which we ourselves inhabit that none of its ac tual disasters, but merely the rumours of war, should reach it.—(Cheers.) The goodness of God to this island has been manifested in raising up from time to time those who have been eminently conspicuous in sustaining the honour of her arms. Not less worthy of observation is the disposition which He has im planted in the minds of all classes to acknowledge, with the liveliest gratitude, the services of those who have deserved well of their country, in contributing to the protection of its rights and privileges.— (Cheers.) This feeling exists in the heart of the highest personage in the realm, from whom it de scends, disseminating itself through every grade of society, until it rests in the bosom of the humblest of her subjects.—(Cheers.) My Lord, I would invite, not indeed your Lordship, but the other portions of this numerous assemblage to join with me in contem plating that which is recorded as having occurred somewhat more than half a century since. My Lord, we may picture to ourselves a youth of some sixteen or seventeen years of age, serving as a subaltern at the capture of the Cape of Good Hope, and the Dutch fleet in Sal danha-bay, and there obtaining the approbation of his superiors, and affording many adumbrations of future greatness.—(Cheers) My Lord, years rolled on, our subaltern obtained, I should rather have said earned, promotion. The West Indies, the Peninsula, and subsequently China and British India, were the scenes of his glorious achievements ; and, although thrice he bled in his country's cause, - his valuable life was spared, until we are now privileged in seeing him amongst us in the person of your Lordship, after having, as we are assured by the testimony of a late Chairman of the East India Company, fougth fifteen pitched battles, of which every one has been a victory. —(Loud cheers.) My Lord, your Lordship has, from time to time, received from your Sovereign testimo nies of the high estimate in which your services were held, and, no sooner were the events which have brought us together made known to her for whom, and for blessings on whose head a nation's prayers are constantly ascending to Him by whom " kings reign and princes decree justice," than that illus trious lady—illustrious whether we view her as wielding the sceptre of a mighty empire, or as, in unison with her Royal Consort, setting a bright example of every social and domestic virtue A INS IV OR Tri'S MAGAZINE.

THE OPFICE OF COMMON PLEADER. The recommendation of the Officers' and Clerks' Committee, that the office of Common Pleader, va cant by the resignation of Mr. Laurie, should not b e filled up, gave rise to a long discussion. Mr. BLAKE considered that the office was part and parcel of the constitution of the Corporation of the city of London, and that it would detract from the dignity of the body to abolish it without some good reason for adopting such a measure. He moved, as an amendm e nt, th a t th e o ffi ce be immediately filled up.—(Hear.) Mr. ANDERTON seconded the amendment. He ad mitted that he had upon a former occasion expressed himself in favour of the recommendation of the report, but he had since been convinced that it would be ex pedient to continue the office, inasmuch as there were at present three common pleaders, and a fourth would be necessary in the event of the trial of a case in which two might be engaged upon one aide. He hoped that the Lord Mayor's Court would soon be thrown open, and he would lend his assistance with all his heart to destroy the existing monopoly, which certainly ought not to be allowed to exist any longer ; but until the court was open, it would be necessary to fill all the offices attached to it. Mr. T. H. HALL wished to see the office done away with. He thought the working of the court was most expensive to the Corporation as well as to the public. They were obliged to pay for the legal help they might require for the defence of their own in terests ; and frequently they were obliged to pay heavily for assistance of the same kind that was used against them by these very same common pleaders.— (Hear.) Most unquestionably an improvement should be made in the existing system at least. Mr. Low did not wish to see an ancient office con nected with the City abolished, and thought the Court ought to be very cautious how they interfered with long-established rights, immunities, and cus toms. He would rather see the Corporation annihi lated at once than see its offices frittered away, as pro posed by the committee in their report. Mr. G. TAYLOR said the committee had not made out any case for the abolition of the office. Mr. NORRIS contended that, by continuing the office of common pleader, the citizens were much benefited, and their rights were upheld in a most satisfactory manner. It was by the common.pleaders the heavy briefs for leading counsel in all municipal matters were prepared, and without the able assistance of these gentlemen, ,who had toiled through all the intricacies of civic rights and City privileges, the legal business of the Corporation could not be trans acted. positor, for every sum not then drawn, and which in such cases will for the next period of six months form together an increased principal sum bearing interest •at three per cent.; and if not then drawn, be again accumulated as aboVe Der the next half-yearly period, and so on progressively, compounding the interest half-yearly. But in any particular case of geed, the. Directors will, it the circumstances justify an exception to their rules, repay the whole or any part of the depo.it. • - A The Directors having by the Charter the tiecullir privilege of gra dually increasing the capital, will, when neWshares'ate being alloted, give a preference, after the existing shareholders, to Ylepositore who may wish to become proprietors, according to the ptlority of their applications, allowing, until a dividend be declared, three per cent. interest on all deposits set apart for shares. In accordance with the original purpose of the Institution, and of the early promise of its promoters, viz., to endeavour to make the proprietary body as nu merous as possible, and the corporation, as far as the law will per mit, a society for banking on the principles of a mutual benefit association, the shareholders will have a preference in the enjoyment ef such benefits as the bank can legitimately afford. Special Deposits for shorter or longer periods than six months will be received on such terms as may be arranged in each particular case.

" I have great pleasure In informing you that I had a trial to-day of the I!4 -inch gutta pereha tube I had from you in December last, in preitnce of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 400 feet of the same for attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion.that no mate , rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta pereha, for although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends the'rivets in all directions.—l am, your obedient Servant, "ANDREW ROBERTSON." From JOHN TAYLOR GORDON, E sq., M.D, (heretofore Physician to his late MAJESTY and 11.R.f1, the Duke of Cambridge, but now retired). (Cort) " 34, Somerset-street, Portman-square, London, " April 10, 1850. " Gentlemen,—Without reference to the - variety of useful and or namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit) certified my decided approval of it for the under soles of shoes, and I have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress shoes and hoots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable, I cannot too lfghly recommend the gutta percha for-tubing and lining. .. _ " I am, gentlemen, your humble servant, "J. TAYLOR GORDON." (The above is the second voluntary testimonial).. FROM DR. MURRAY, OF NULL. (Copy.) " POrtiandiplaee, Hull, March 28, 1850. " Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use ofleaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of lead thereby communicated are most insiduous and subtile. I hall with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tubing. I have had the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by one of gutta percha. " I am, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, "J. S,IJRRAY, PH. D." In consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous supply of gutty percha is maintained, the Gutta Percha Company are enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to lie set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, In which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, llerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, en receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post•offlce order for 45. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The Ils. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. 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) ? I'll tell you the caase —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, 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 informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq , altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of boefari ng protection, dgt 18 s itghned February,by l genies,S2s This was M F., to on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters,Treasury;e within the reach of every poor family.

A VISIT .TO THE EMPEROR OF HAITI. • The following graphic account of a visit paid to the Emperor Faustin I. by a French gentleman, who has just returned from Haiti, will be read with in terest. • The object of the w rit e r. of the letter in visiting the West India I s l an d s ' was t o inquire into the state of the negro population, ;he being a warm advocate for the abolition of slavery, and an influential member of the principal abolitionist societies in France. It will be seen, hoWever, that the present 'letter has no reference to the peculiar object of his journey, but is confined exclusively to an account of the new Emperor : " Kingston (Jamaica), March 18, 1850.

At the appointed time we went to the Palace. This edifice, which was in former times the residence of the governors of St. Domingo, assumes an imposing and even royal appearance when compared with the wretched hovels of which the rest of the town is composed. In point of fact, however, it would be considered very mediocre in any country where architecture has made some progress. The palace is very low, being composed of only one story, raised a few feet from the ground, and approached by four or five steps, which extend all around the edifice. A court which is railed in, and in which the Emperor passes a review of his troops every Sunday, reminds one vaguely of that of the Tuileries. On entering the palace we were shown into a waiting room, which I examined with attention. The floor is in white marble, thefurniture in black hair-cloth and straw. On a richly carved table appeared a beautiful bronze clock, representing the arms of Haiti—namely, a palm-tree, surrounded with fascines of pikes and surmounted with the Phrygian cap. The walls were decorated with two fine portraits, hung so as to correspond with each other. The one represents the celebrated French conventionalist, the Abb6 Gregoire, and the other the reigning Em peror of 'Haiti. The former is the work of an European artist; the latter does honour to the talent of a mulatto artist, the BaronCo m lb y er a t tee l tie s n hou h l a d d , neighbouringe e perh a ps,t be en attracted rem apartment,a r b k y e dt the more,estienpt of his M a j es ty i n th e if 0 which we , were presently ushered. This apartment is hung with the portraits of all the great men of Haiti. and it is in it that the grand receptions are given. We imme diately approached his Majesty, who was alone in the room and standing. the Emperor was dressed in a handsome green uniform, irreproachable either in material'or form. He wore two gold epau lettes_ ornamented with two silver stars ; a plaque provisionally ornamented with crystal decorated his breast. He had a sword by his side, ani carried his hat in his hand. He commenced by giving us a very cordial shake of the hand. He then sat down on a fauteuil, ,and waited, with some appearance of confu sion and timidity, till M. Raybaud addressed him. We had, at his invitation, sat down upon chairs. The consul, after mentioning my name and profession, in formed the Emperor that I had come to visit his empire simply from motives of curiosity and amusement, and that it would have been a great disappointment to me if I had been obliged to leave the island without having .had the honour of being received by his Ma jesty. To this speech I added, • Sire, it was the only object of my voyage,' at the same time half rising from my seat. The Emperor imitated my movement, and thanked me, adding at the same time, 'I have already had the pleasure of seeing this gentleman at the re view on Sunday.' It was now my turn to offer my thanks for this flattering reminiscence. The conver sation continued in the same manner for about twenty minutes. When we rose to, take our leave of the Emperor, he again shook hands with us. Three sa lutations on our part, and as many on his, concluded the ceremony. " Faustin Soulouque is completely black, but his features have not by any means that savage and hideous form which ignorance attributed to the negroes of purely African origin. On the contrary, his features are pleasing, and there is a peculiar sweetness in his smile. Though 64 years of age, he does not appear to be more than 50. In height he is middle-sized. His breast is large and project ing, his shoulders broad, and his haunches clumsy, like those for which Louis XVIII. was peculiar. From the regularity of his features, his profile looks like that of a Roman Emperor. When standing, his corpulence makes him appear little. Though natur ally taciturn, he is always dignified and choice in his words. It is right to rectify an error which at tributes to him an entire ignorance of the French language. In my presence he spoke very,correctly, and without any mixture of creolicisms. He has also been accused of not being able either to read or write. The truth is, that he signs ills name legibly, and even in cases of necessity writes letters, and be sides that he reads every evening, without the aid of a secretary, the new history of Haiti, which has just been published by M. Modion, a native of much merit, who has recently been created a baron. He is greatly annoyed at the caricatures of him published in the Paris Charivari, and the jokes of the press in general. On this point he is susceptible to an incredible extent. "Faustin Soulouque is of the most humble origin. Re was born a slave on the property of M. Viallet., This gentlemen, who is a European, has been pointed out to me. He has succeeded in escaping all the re volutionary storms which have agitated this country, and at present is an inhabitant of Port-au-Prince. The Emperor Soulouque having one day recently met him, went up to him and said, ' Although I am an Emperor to the rest of the world, I cannot but look upon you as my master." And I,' replied M. Viallet, ' consider myself as your subject.' How strange are human destinies! . it At the period of the evacuation of Haiti by the French, the emancipated slave entered as a soldier the army of General Dessalines. From 'step to step he rose to the rank of colonel, and he held that rank at the period of the fall of the President Boyer, a grave event, in which the present EmperOr was not at all implicated. From his taciturnity —a quality which among the blacks is considered to denote the most approved wisdom and discretion --he was admitted into the secret of the several conspiracies which succeeded each other from 1843 to 1847. Having been created a general of division under Richer, he only owed bis election as Emperor to the accident of his name having been mentioned in the Senate at the moment when the votes were divided between two candidates, neither of whom had a sufficient majority. He then became, the means of conciliation between the parties. The blacks voted for him on account of his ebony skin, the mulattos because they thought they had no rea son to fear the ambition of one who had till then been quite unknown. But the latter were not long in discovering that they had given to themselves a master and not a flexible instrument. Hence proceeded the sanguinary events of the month of April, 1848. "Soulouque triumphed in consequence of his dis playing a terrible energy of character. His victory was disgraced by some frightful executions. Per fidious counsellors drove him into a course of ven geance, speaking of nothing less than exterminating the whole coloured race, who form the fifth of the Population of Haiti. In this state of matters the Consul-General of France acquired for ever the gratitude of humanity. In the midst of the balls which whistled through the streets of Port au-Prince he repaired to the chief of the State, and succeeded, after reiterated efforts, in obtaining from him an amnesty, which excluded only twelve persons, whose safety had been already secured. In departing with the good news, M. Raybaud said to Soulouque, ' President, of all the persons here pre sent I am the only one who does not depend on you, and my opinion should appear to you at least the most disinterested. Many of these persons (pointing to the instigators of the crime) excite your resent ment as much as possible, and drive you to the most sanguinary measures, without in the least troubling themselves about the opinion that will be entertained of you beyond this island. These last words made the greatest impression on the mind of Sou louque, and the hand of the conqueror ready to strike the conquered was arrested by this appeal to the tribunal of civilized nations. Soulou que . for the last two years was principally occup ied in re-conquering the Spanish part of the island, erected into the Do minican Republic, when, to the surprise of the Euro pean press, he was proclaimed Empsrnr. People have generally agreed in saying that he did not solicit this advancement; • and, at any rate, he did not make himself a plagiarist of an idea which has always been attributed to another President. . " The name of Emperor expresses nothing Na poleon-like at ; Haiti ; it supposes only an authority better respected than that of President, and recalls to the Hatian the popular recollection of Dessalines, who, in reward of the services rendered to his country, had been proclaimed Emperor. The fol lowing is, in few terms, the way in which the change in the form of government was brought about :—A certain number of military and civil citi zens addressed, on 'the 20th of August, 1849, a peti tion to the 'Chamber of Representatives, demanding that the title ;of ,Emperor should be conferred on his Excellency the President Soulouque. General Vii Lubin, commandant of the garrison of Pert-au- Prince, expressed the same wish, as,well as the prin cipal officers present in the capital.. On the 25th the Chamber took cognizance of the petition, approved it, and transmitted it on the same day to the Senate, who gave it their sanction. Not a voice was raised in defence of the _expiring republic. ,On the 26th the two great bodies of the State conveyed his promotion to Soulouque, accom panied with a crown and' a cross, and expressing their devotion 'in the most monarchical terms. The coup dad, if such it be, was accomplished with the legal forms,..thid met with no opposition any where. The constitution was immediately put into harmony with the new order of things. ' Such as it is at present, it Kuarantees the essential rights of citizens, and leaves, in appearance, little latitude to arbi 'trey - proceedingsi. Unfortunately here, as elseivheik practice continually contradicts theory. Entering com pletely into his imperial role, Faustin I. did not delay creating orders and titles of nobility. He is greatly honoured for this conception, so favourable received by the Haitians, who, amongst other resemblances to their former rulers, have - always been as vain as cocks. There are at present two orders in the empire—the military order of St. Faustin, and the civil order of the Legion of Honour. The Emperor proclaimed himself the grand master, and has made grand crosses, and commanders, and knights. The titles are those of princes, dukes, counts, barons, and knights. The princes and the dukes have been chosen amongst the generals of divi sion and the vice-admirals ; the counts amongst the generals of brigade and rear-admirals; the barons amongst the adjutant-generals, the colonels, and captains of the navy; the knights amongst the lieutenant-colonels and commanders of the navy. An assimilation of grades has been in some mea sure established between the civil and the military functionaries. The senators, the representatives, the judges, the superior officers of the customs, &c., are all barons. For the women, besides the femi nine of the titles accorded to the men, there exists the special title of marchioness. The first ordonnance decrees the creation of four princes, and fifty-seven dukes. The princes, named at the same time Marshals of the Empire. were the Generals Pierrot, Lazarre, Souffrand, and Bobo. They receive with the title of Most Serene Highness that of Lord. To.the ducal quality is attached the title of bis Grace, and the name of some locality. From this latter cir cumstance arise the denominations which have led astray the European and American journals. Thus, General Geffrard is Duke of the Table, General Lui ding is Duke of Marmalade, Gl-eneral Segrettier Duke of Frose-Bonbon, General Alberti Duke of Lemonade, &c. But the Table, Marmalade, Frose-Bonbon, Le monade, &c., are all places marked in the ancient geo graphy of the country. • King Christopher already made use of them for the same purpose as Soulouque, and wittily said, The French, when they laugh at my marmalade and lemonade, forget that they have amongst themselves des Paix and des Bouillon." These two illustrious names are certainly lost in the darkness of times ; but have we not seen in our own day M. Salvandy desirous of being called the Count de Chante-Merle ? The princes and the dukes are all grand crosses of the order of St. Faustin, and all have the grand cor don of the Legion of Henour. Another ordonnance produced at once ninety-one counts. They are all styled Excellence, and their titles, like those of the Dukes, are taken from different localities. Thus we have, amongst others, the Count de la Seringue, the Count de Guepes, the Count de Diamant, the Count de Perches, the Count de la Bombarde, &c. All the counts are commanders of the order of St. Faustin, and officers of the Legion of Honour. More prodigal of his favours as he descends in the scale of aristocracy, the Emperor has created an in numerable mass of barons and knights. Louis XIV., in the midst of his splendours, did not perhaps imagine as many honorary changes as the Emperor Faustin: Amongst his household figure a grand almoner, a grand master of the pantry, a grand marshal of the pa lace, a quarter-master, gentlemen of honour, governors of the royal palaces and castles, pages, masters of ce remonies, librarians, heralds-at-arms, &c. The Em press Adelina has likewise her household, which is composed of a grand almoner, two ladies of honour, two tire-women, fifty-six ladies of the palace, twenty two ladies of the chapel (all duchesses, countesses, baronesses, ladies of knights, or marchionesses), cham berlains, grooms, pages, &c. The Imperial Princess, Madame Olivia Faustin, possesses an equally brilliant household. Her gouvernante is Madame le Che valier de Bonheur. The costume of the no bility has been regulated with particular care. The princes, dukes, and counts must wear white tunics, the barons red coats, and knights blue coats. They are moreover distinguished by the number of plumes in their hats. The princes have nine, the dukes seven, the counts five, the barons three, and the knights two. An ordonnance decrees in minute terms the etiquette of the court. The gentlemen must appear in uniform ; the ladies in full dress. The nobles guard their swords,' the ordonnance says, as their finest ornament.' The tabouret is reserved for the princes and princesses, the dukes and duchesses, whilst tolding chairs are allowed to counts and countesses, ba rons and baronesses, knights and their ladies. Soulou que is actively occupied in raising Haiti to the height of the ancient monarchies of Europe. Ideas of war en gage him without intermission—a brave soldier, he is determined to efface the defeat of Azad, where a few hundred Dominicans, profiting by the inaction of the Haitian army gained an easy victory. Two war steamers have been ordered in Europe. The campaign is to open next month. The chances appear very bad for St. Domingo, the population of which is only about 150,000, whilst that of Haiti is upwards of 600,000. The unfortunate republic has already in vain appealed to the protection of France and England, and now solicits the interven tion of a power of the second order. Reduced to extremities she may cast herself into the arms of the United States ; such an eventuality might occasion grave complications. What especially encourages Soulouque, in his warlike projects, is that the excel lent sale of coffee, the principal article of export, in creases greatly the resources of this year. The system of monopoly introduced by the Minister of Finance, M. Solomon, has been crowned with complete success, however contrary it may appear to sound notions of political economy. The ordinary revenue of Haiti is valued at about 240,0001., official situations are paid accordingly. The Mmperor receives about 3,2001. a year, the empress from 1,0001. to 1,2001., the three ministers have each a little leas than 1201. a year as their salary. The French indemnity weighs heavily on the budget. The clergy costs very little, there are not more than 48 priests in the whole bounds of the em pire. People have been mistaken when they spoke of the influence of the Jesuits at the Court of Port-au- Prince. The Haitian territory is closed against all monastic orders. The vicar apostolic, the Abbe Cessens, who has been represented as the agent of the disciples of Loyola, strictly confines himself to the religious duties of his charge. As for the authority of the ministers it is to be wished that it were somewhat greater. They are men of acknowledged merit.

In all social relations I have only had to congratulate myself on the character of the inhabitants. The highways afforded a security which appears fabulous. In the towns I met all the charms of civilized life. The graces of the ladies of Port-au-Prince will never be effaced from my recollection." THE GREAT EXHIBITION or 1851.—A preliminary meeting of some of the leading inhabitants of Southwark was held yesterday, at the Bridge House Hotel, whereat Sir William Molesworth, Bart., A. K. Barclay, Esq., C. J. Bevan, Esq., the High Bailiff, A. Pellatt, Esq., T. B. Simpson, Esq. George Drew, Esq., F. Fuller, Esq., and others, attended. Sir William Molesworth, Bart., M.P., having taken the chair, it was unanimously resolved that the gentlemen present be a committee, with power to add to their number, to get up a requisition to the High Bailiff to convene a meeting of the inhabitants of the metropolitan district of Southwark for the purpose of considering the propriety of appointing a commit tee for procuring subscriptions towards assisting the great exhibition of 1851. and of appointing local eommissioners to assist the Royal Commission in carrying out such exhibi tion. A vote of thanks to the chairman having been unani • mottely passed, the meeting separated. —(Cheers)—signified her intention of raising your Lordship to the Peerage. That intention has been carried into effect; and the successful issue of a subsequent campaign has been the occasion of ac cumulated honours upon your Lordship's venerable and venerated head.—(Loud cheers.) The two Houses of Parliament have likewise awarded to your Lord ship the tribute of their thanks, and it is to this Cor poration a source of pleasure and of honest pride to be permitted to place your Lordship's honoured inure upon our municipal roll, while we cannot but rejoice that the Court of Assistants of one of the most ancient and distinguished of our City companies have tendered to your Lordship's abceptance, and that your Lordship has honoured them by accepting, the freedom of their art or mystery, whereby I am en abled to receive your Lordship, not only as a citizen of London, but as a freeman also of the worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.—(Loud cheers.) All this, my Lord, is but the expression of the national feeling, and I hesitate not to assure your Lordship that there is not an Englishman, and—l will add—neither is there an Irishman, who will not join with us in the sentiment which, if I mistake not, is to be found in the motto of the arms granted to the immortal Nelson —" Palmam qui meruit ferat."—(Renewed cheers.) My Lord, I am quite aware that the characters of the soldier and the politician are widely and essen tially different, and that it is the duty of the former simply to carry into effect, to the utmost of his power and of the means placed at his disposal, the work which he is entrusted, to accomplish; still it cannot but be gratifying to your Lordship, as it must be to every well-regulated mind, that the result of your Lordship's achievements in India, while it has sustained the character of our army, European and native, has inflicted a righteous retribution on a daring and licentious foe, who was seeking to disturb the quiet of his unoffending British neighbours, and has restored peace, and secured the integrity of our Indian possessions.—(Cheers.) My Lord, I desire to remember that I am addressing your Lordship in the capital of Christian England, and in the presence of those who over the portal of their Royal Exchange have caused to be inscribed the acknowledgment that the "Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof."— (Cheers.) To His mercy do we desire to ascribe every blessing we enjoy ; and we would hail the pre sence of your Lordship amongst us, as that of an honoured instrument of Him who bath taught your hands to war and your fingers to fight, in doing great and glorious things for British India.—(Cheers.) I rejoice unfeignedly that this is a feeling in perfect unison with that which has dictated all your Lord ships's dispatches, and which was manifested by your Lordship and the Noble and Gallant Viscount, the then Governor-General , of India, in the public ascrip tions of praise and thanksgiving which followed the vic tories referred to in the resolution that has been read.— ' (Cheers.) And now, my Lord, while with the most un feigned respect I offer to your Lordship's acceptance the accompanying very= inadequate testimonial of our gratitude, and tender to your Lordship as to a brother freeman, the right hand of fellowship, wi th my h ear ty congratulations on your return to your native land, I would express a fervent ho p e that y ears of usefulness may yet be in store for you, and that with the calm and.quiet enjoyment of social and domestic life may be mingled the satisfaction arising from the consciousness that, as a peer of Parliament, you are still rendering to your country effective service ; and oh, my Lord, in that hour when heart and flesh fail, and all earthly honours fade away and become as nothing, may you, who have conquered in many con flicts, be more than conqueror in that warfare in which, if we be what we profess, we are all en gaged.—(Loud cheers.)

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Firefly steam vessel, Commander Tudor, arrived at Spithead this morning, from the West Coast of Africa station. She left Arßbriz on the 28th of March ; Ascension, 13th of April; Sierra Leone, 27th; Bathurst, River Gambia, May 3d; Teneriffe, 17th ; and Ma deira, 20th. The squadron under Commodore Fanshawe was ,hus distributed at the lateBt dates : Northern division—The Heroine (senior officer), Hound, Wolverine, and Tenzer. _ _ Bights division—The Kingfisher (senior officer), Phccoix, Heels, Ranger, and Bonetta. Southern division—The Spy, off Congo • Flying Fish, off Kabenda ; Pluto, blockading the river Congo ; Rattler, off Ambrizette ; Cyclops and Cen taur (Commodore), off Ambriz; Waterwitch and Star, off Benguela. The Adelaide tender, in heaving down at the Ba nana Islands, spr ang a leak and became a total wreck in the month of April. The slave trade is flourishing. The Firefly has taken eleven prizes during her time of service on the coast, two of which were full, containing 890 slaves; and on the 19th of March, off Ambriz, a large Ameri can barque, called the Navarrah, from Philadelphia, and having a Brazilian crew below ; she was going to ship 1,000 slaves the same night. The IVaterwitch has captured a large brig, with 800 slaves on board, off Benguela. The Rattler has captured a fine brig, with 840 slaves on board. The Pluto has captured a large American brig, empty, which she destroyed. The Flying-fish has captured a brigantine off Kabenda, which she destroyed. The Firefly has been very healthy, having only lost two men. Commander Tudor, however, is very ill, having kept his cot the last three months, in which be was removed to-day in the steam-tender Sprightly, to Heiser Hospital. Mr. Malone, Paymaster and Purser of the Phoenix, has come home passenger in the Firefly, w hi c h i s ordered to be paid off at Woolwich. The Bonetta brigantine will be the next vessel home from the coast of Africa. — A letter from Rio of the 4th of April, received this tF a h f .r t e en r e n um o s soiencLs sailedai p y m s — en " oa T nn hdaehcTerruwie3beeodao,t snlw4ta,hiCommander ste: Lord bhy to drive the yellow fever out of her.
