The following are additional particulars brought by the steamer Washington, which arrived at South ampton on Saturday morning, a summary of which appeared i❑ our paper of that day : The steam-. , :hip Britannia, which sailed from Liver pool on the 4th ult., reached Boston early on the 19th. We regret to learn that she touched the ground off Cape Race, Newfoundland, on the 14th, in a thick fog, but got off with no very serious injury. She was to be docked at New York the day after the Washington left, in order to ascertain exactly the extent of damage which she had sustained. The following account of the perilous position of the Britannia is extracted from the correspondence of the New York Commercial Advertiser:— " BAY OF FUNDY, SEPT. 18. " When I made up the news of the day it was my expectation to be in New York early on Sunday morning, notwithstanding we had head winds to the Banks of Newfoundland. On our arrival on that dangerous coast, at this season of fogs, we found our selves on the 14th enveloped in the most dense forr I ever saw; it was such a one as was never seen, I think, in your city. " On the afternoon of that day the steamer went on the rocks at Cape Race, the southern point of New foundland. As you may imagine, it was a moment of deep solicitude. Many of us bad been for some time watching for land, anxious to know our true situation, that we might escape all apprehension during the approaching night. My eye was at the moment fixed on Captain Harrison, our excellent commander, and I saw him turn quickly, and heard him exclaim, Starboard—stop her l' Before the echo could have died away, the ship struck, and for the first time I saw the bleak and barren rocks. "It may be said by some, 'Did not the captain keep too near the shore ?' To this I reply, that nine times out of ten the fog 'lifts' when near the shore, and land is generally seen at a distance of two or three miles. This is peculiarly the case off New foundland. "The course the captain instantly adopted entitles him to great praise. As soon as it was ascertained that the steamer was ashore, orders were given to clew up the sails, the guns were run aft, and the provisions and everything else that could be removed were shifted; the water in two of the boilers was let off, and the passengers all crowded to the stern; the engines were reversed, and two waves or rollers corning in, we were, under the gracious protection of an overruling Providence, once more afloat. " The captain then summoned the chief engineer to ascertain whether the ship made water. The result was that she was making at the rate of about twelve inches per hour, but he was su re th e t wo pumps, usually in service would keep the water down. Under this impression the captain determined to pro ceed on his course. " The passengers, both ladies and gentlemen, be haved with great coolness during the exciting moment, and no one attempted to interfere with the com mander in the course he pursued, nor did any one converse with him until we were again under way. Soon after some half-dozen gentlemen met the cap tain in his state room and looked over his chart, and ascertained our position. St. John's was some fifty miles north of us, but as the fog still continued there was no probability ofgetting into that port, and having full confidence in Captain Harrison's statement that the ordinary pumps would keep the ship free, Mr. Winthrop made a report to the passengers which allayed their fears, and we arrived at Halifax on the Friday morning, where a survey was held, and the report was made in substance, that the steamer had been ashore at Newfoundland, that her forefoot had been knocked off, her keel injured, and that she made fourteen inches of water per hour, but that her two bilge pumps could throw out the water she made, and that she might proceed safely to Boston. " Previous to our arrival in Boston, the following statement was submitted to the passengers, and by most of them approved and signed. " Thursday, Sept. 16, off Halifax. " The undersigned, passengers in the Britannia, feel that it will be expected of them to make some public exprelsion in regard to the dangerous accident which has befallen them during the voyage which is just drawing to a close. They have, therefore, pre pared the following statement, which they believe to embrace all that is necessary to a right understanding of the case, and to a just appreciation of the conduct of all concerned. " The steamer Britannia left Liverpool on the 4th of September, at four o'clock, P.M., and having en joyed nine days of generally clear weather, was found in latitude 48, longitude 45 51, on the 13th inst. at noon ; the distance from Cape Race was then sup posed to be about 304 miles. " At day-break on the 14th the 'steamer encoun tered a dense fog, which continued during the day and night. Wind light. The sea by no means rough in the morning, became sensibly smoother and smoother as the day advanced, and the steamer pro ceeded steadily on at the rate, as shown by the log, of from 91- to 10-i miles the hour. There was, of course, no possibility of taking an observation during the continuance of the fog, which was of extraor dinary density, and at times it was impossible to see further than a full ship's length ahead. At twelve o'clock the dead reckoning of the captain gave lati tude 46 50, longitude 51 51, and the run of the previous 24 hours was set down at 250 miles. " Our distance from Cape Race was still supposed to be about fifty-four miles. Many expressions of anxiety were interchanged among some of the pas sengers at so close an approach to land as was indi cated by ithese figures, in such thick weather, but the captain expressed entire confidence that we should pass quite clear of Cape Race in the course of the afternoon. He expressed also, what all concurred in, the extreme desirableness of making the land before night set in. "At a few minutes after six P.M., the steamer struck the shore, and a rocky headland, believed to be between Cape Race and Cape Ballard, was seen within one hundred yards of our bows. " Captain Harrison was at his post on the larboard paddle-box when the accident occurred. He had re mained in that neighbourhood while the passengers were at dinner, and had united, during the afternoon, with the officers of the ship and with the appointed watch, in looking out for the land ; but the thickness of the fog was such that the land was seen hardly an instant before the ship was upon it, and the prompt orders to Stop her' were too late. " The undersigned cordially unite in bearing testi mony to the coolness, presence of mind, and good judgment displayed by Captain Harrison and his officers and men at this critical moment. In less than half-an-hour from the time when the accident occurred the steamer was again pursuing her way to Halifax, under circumstances which gave the pas sengers every assurance of safety of which the case admitted. The promptness and skill of Captain Har rison in thus extricating the ship from her perilous position, as well as his uniform courtesy and untiring devotion to his duties during the whole voyage, have won from us all our kindest feelings towards him as a man, and our confidence in him as a commander. " The undersigned cannot conclude without an ex pression of their gratitude to God for so signal a pre servation under circumstances of so much peril. Had the accident taken place at night—had it hap pened during the violent winds which belong to this season of the year—had the ship even touched the ground a few rods of either side of the precise point on which she struck, the entire immunity from loss of life and property in which we now rejoice could not have been experienced. " Mille, therefore, we would do full justice to the human agencies which were exerted in our be half, we would not forget how eminently it is of God's goodness that we are all here at this hour, to give an account of the dangers to which we have been exposed." [Signed by 65 passengers.] Santa Anna has published the following explanation of his defeat : MANIFESTO OF THE PROVISIONAL PRE SIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE AR NIY. " In moments so critical and solemn, it becomes the duty of him who presides over the destiny of the Republic to give publicity to the recent events, and I comply with pleasure, as candour has at all times been the character of my Administration. The inci dents of the 19th and 20th are too notorious,- having been disastrous ; but I am bound to present a review of them, lest they should be misrepresented as much by the spirit of detraction and malevolence, as by errors which may result from a false analysis of such grave and transcendent affairs. " The nation has witnessed the great and extra ordinary efforts with which, in the space of three months, I prepared for the defence of the capital, which was on the point of being surrendered to the enemy without resistance. I have formed, armed, and equipped an army of more than twenty thousand men ; I have provided a Tut material for this army; I have fortified various lines in order to remove from Mexico the ravages of war ; I .have created resources in spite of the isolated position to which the Govern ment was reduced ; and I have spared no time and no labour in order to snake my country appear with dignity and firmness in the contest to which it was unjustly provoked. " In war an accident, a thing that appears trifling, overthrows the best formed combinations. A glance at the defences which I established round the city is .sufficient to discover the plan which I had proposed to myself. The forces which I had advanced on one of the flanks, supported by others stationed at con venient distances, had a point to fall back upon, well known to them, and of which I gave notice at the proper moment. To one general who had command of a strong division of 5,000 men, with twenty-four pieces of artillery, and whose head-quarters were at the village of San Angel, I sent orders at eleven o'clock on the morning of the 18th to fall back upon the town of Coyoacan, in order to form a concentration of forces, following the movements of the enemy, which Were already evident, and parti cularly to unfold my plan of operations. But this general, forgetting that no two men can cowmen l in a field of battle, and that for the execution of a plan no observation which may annul orxetard it can bead mitted, tools upon himself to object to the orders which he had received ; and as we had banished from among us obedience and discipline, so indispensable in mili tary matters, I had to be tolerant in order to avoid greater evils, and let him, to my great regret, act, throwing upon him the responsibility of whatever might happen. " The result was as fatal as I had foreseen. He advanced. of his own accord, more than a league, and selected a position to meet the enemy without giving me notice of his movement or of his intentions. The refusal which he gave to my advice was the first news I had of his temerity, and soon aftei the roar of cannon showed me his position, and give me notice that an action had commenced. Although overwhelmed with a presentiment of what was to happen, I put myself immediately at the head of a brilliant division of 4,000 men and five pieces of artillery. I arrived at the mo ment when the enemy had cut off by the rear the position of the ill-fated general with a respectable force, and I was hardly able to check his operations, a e s the night was already setting in. "But I perceived with sorrow that the position was isolated ; a deep ravine, and a wood occupied by the enemy, being interposed beween us, it was impossible for the troops under my immediate command to ad vance by the only road there was, without exposing themselves as were already the others, and only one battery, which arrived late, could do any injury. The firing having ceased, our brigade took up its quarters in the neighbouring village of San Angel, because, as it rained in torrents, it would have been equal to a defeat to hare kept the troops in the open field. " Previous to this, however, I had ordered my aide-de-camp, Colonel Romiro, to pass the terrible ravine which was in our front, and guided by Don Jose Maria del Rio, well acquainted with the coun try, to reach the camp of the general, and to advise him to withdraw that very night to San Angel with his infantry and cavalry, by the only road which was left to him, spiking previously the artillery which it was not possible to save. My aide-de-camp suc ceeded, and communicated my orders between ten and twelve o'clock that night, but instead of being obeyed with punctuality, the above-named general hardly allowed my aide-de-camp to speak, interrupted him by stating that he wanted 6,000 men and ammunition, and sent him off with two dispatches, already signed and sealed, in one of which he gives a report of the ac tion of the evening, stating that he had beaten and put the enemy to a shameful flight, and that in conse quencel he conferred promotions on the generals, chiefs, and officers. "Early the next morning I presented myself again in the same camp, reinforced by a brigade which I had drawn from the capital, and with the intention of forcing the bridge at any cost; but when I was about to commence, the enemy made his attack, which lasted ten minutes, and I witnessed, overwhelmed with despair, the defeat of those soldiers, worthy of a better fate, because the general who unfortunately commanded them had cut himself off. The conse quence of this success appeared terrible to any sight. The enemy could arrive by a rapid move at the capi tal before it would be in my power to render assist ance; the enemy could by a flank movement cut off my detached forces ; the enemy had obtained as a fruit of his victory the power of bringing the whole of his torces against only a part of mine ; and, finally, the enemy, owing to the insubordination and want of skill of one general, could turn . to his profit- the ad vantages of my position. " The advanced fort of San Antonio could not be maintained, because our line had been cut, and I gave orders for its garrison to withdraw whilst I pro tected the fort and ate de pont of Churubusco. The enemy advanced and cut off part cf the troops that were retreating, and appeared in front of our nearest defences. There again I placed myself at the head of our troops, and my efforts cost the enemy a good deal of blood. The losses, although much to be lamented, naturally proceeded from the retreat, which was hasty, unexpected, and confused, owing to the trains that bad to pass through a narrow lane, flanked in its whole extent. The defence was made from line to line until we came to the third, where I personally restrained the enemy and saved the capital, which had been so unexpectedly placed in danger. " When I was occupied on the 22d in re-organizing forces and manning the batteries, having placed my self again at the head of a column which should offer resistance to the last extremity, I received a commu nication from the general-in-chief of the enemy, pro posing an armistice that might give time to listen to the propositions which may b e ma d e b y th e Commis sioner of the Government of the United States, to put an end to the contest between the two nations. I ac cepted the armistice, and after having had a meeting of the ministers, I resolved to listen to the above propositions. "The suspension of hostilities is always a blessing, because war is always an evil, particularly after the failure of grand com bi nat i ons. To free the capital of its horrors, or at least to retard them, was an emergency which I could not resist, and the more so when it presented the means of arriving at an honour able peace. " When two nations are in a state of war, they enjoy the right of reciprocity, making propositions, which presupposes the obli gat i on to li sten . A per petual war is an absurdity, because it is a calamity, and the instinct of self-preservation, which is stronger in nations than in private individuals, counsels us not to refuse any means which may lead to an advan tageous settlement. To adopt this step the constitu• tions confers ample powers on me. " Devoted to interests so noble and exalted, I must at all hazards maintain the p res ti ge an d res p ec t o f th e on s authoritysh ould molest th e G ov ernment, they particularly at present, when if w ould deprive it of th e lib erty of deliberating, and it wou ld fall into utter i ns i gn ifi cance in the presence of o ur enemies. I will s till b e more explicit. Attempts supremethf factions a t subversive sedition will be punished in an exem plary manner. , 4 I have still a respectable body of troops, and the nation will assist me to maintain its dignity and vin dicate its glory. I consider myself as free as if I had just obtained a distinguished victory, and there is no danger that the negotiations of the enemy willim pose upon me what their troops and cannon did not inspire me with. We will settle our difficulties amicably, if above all things our honour is saved, and we will again appeal to the sword, if force should be interposed to withhold from us ju s t ice an d th e acknowledgment of the rights of the nation. "ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. " Mexico, Aug. 23, 1847." " TO HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT, COAIMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. " Ministry of War and Marine, Mexico, Aug. 21, 1847. " Sir,—The undersigned, Minister of War and Marine of the Government of the United States of Mexico, is instructed by his Excellency the Pre sident, Commander-in-Chief, to reply to your com munication, in which you propose to enter into an armistice, with a view to avoid the further shedding of blood between the two great republics of this con tinent, for the purpose of hearing the propositions which may be made for this purpose by the Commis sioner of his Excellency the Presi lent of the United States of America, who is at the head-quarters of the American army. " It is certainly lamentable that in consequence of the disregard of the rights of the Mexican republic the shedding of blood has become inevitable between the first republics of the American continent; and your Excellency with great propriety qualifies this unnatural, as well on account of its origin as the antecedents of two people identified by their rela tions and their interests. The proposttion of an ar miAtice to terminate this scandal has been received with pleasure by his Excellency the President, Com mander-in-Chief, as it will enable the propositions to be entertained which the Commissioner of the Presi dent of the United States may make for the honour able termination of the war. " Accordingly the President, Commander-in-Chief, directs me to say to your Excellency that he accepts the proposition to enter into an armistice, and for this object he has appointed the Brigadier-Generals D. Ignacio Mora y Villamil and D. Benito Quijano, who will be present at the time and place which may be designated. " — His Excellency also instructed me to communi cate his satisfaction that the army of the United States should occupy convenient and fitting quarters, trust ing and hoping that they will be out of reach of the fire of the Mexican fortifications. " I have the honour to be, with high consideration and respect, your Excellency's most obedient servant, " ALCORTA." The same day Senor Pacheco, the Secretary of State, issue4he following summons for the assembling of Congress :- 1 " Ministry of Internal and Foreign Relations, Mexico, Aug. 21, 1847. " Most Excellent Sir,—A.ll Mexicans, but espe cially the inhabitants of this capital, have been wit nesses to the extraordinary exertions which have been made by his Excellency the Provisional President to collect an army capable of meeting that of the United States and restoring the lu s t re o f the arms o f th e republic. They are witnesses also that he has fought with intrepidity, exposing his own life until the mo ment when the victory was lost and the enemy was at the gates of the capital. " In these circumstances, and when the numerous inhabitants of Mexico have made every kind of sacri fice to carry on the war, it is one of the most imperi ous duties of the first magistrate to prevent the cala mities inseparable from an assault, and to avoid all the consequences of a violent occupation of the city. To this end, in the exercise of his constitutional power, and in conformity with the wishes of Congress communicated to him on the 16th of July last, he has determined to hear the propositions which Mr. Nicholas Trist has to make on the part of the United States, and to consent that in the meantime there shall be a suspension of hostilities. " As this question is of the utmost interest to the Republic, his Excellency desires that the National Congress should take their appropriate part, and ac cordingly he directs me to notify your Excellency that you may take measures diligently to summon the Deputies to assemble at twelve o'clock to-day. " I reiterate the assurances of my distinguished consideration. God and Liberty. " JOHN RAMON PACHECO." AMERICAN:REPUDIATION. (From the New York Herald.) The efforts made within the past two years by those States having large debts, the interest on which has for many years been in arrears, to resume pay ment and place their financial affairs in a prosperous condition, have failed to meet with that response from those interested:as 4 bunelholders which they deserve, and under techstrumstances are entitled to. There is :large c aw of foreign bondholders who encolkage 'the most gross attacks upon those States which have partially resumed the payment of interest on their debts, who imagine that these attacks have been the prime cause of the resumption, so far as it goes, and who believe that if they are kept up, and the cry of repudiation continually kept ringing in our ears, a more speedy resumpti on o f th e f u ll p a y men t w ill fol low. English papers are feed by English capitalists holding these bonds to continually harp on repudia tion, believing that it advances their interests, and will speedily bring about a resumption of payment, and an acknowledgment of all the claims against the States. They will be most awfully mistaken in this matter. These attacks have already produced a feeling in op position to these movements; and in every instance where it can be made available, efforts will be made to put off the day of payment, rather than to hasten it. We have seen this feeling exhibited in the State of Illinois, in the convention recently held for the revisal of the constitution. A tax of two mills on every dollar of taxable property has been anthorised for the payment of the principal of the internal im provement debt, leaving the canal debt, which is held mostly by foreigners, to take its chance with the canal and canal property. This distinction was made principally on account of the course pursued by the trustees of the foreign bondholders in relation to the progress of the canal, and the speeches in the British Parliament about using coercive measures to bring about the payment of debts due to British subjects from the States of this Union. The foreign bond holders have obtained all they will from these repu diating States, as their organs choo s e to call them. The laws passed enforcing taxes will be carried out as strictly as possible, the payments promised in the way of interest will be made as promptly as the re ceipts will permit, and all laws relating to their public debts will be carried out to the letter, but no thing more. Even in the event Of a full resumption being within their means much sooner than antici pated, we do not believe any efforts would be made to carry it into effect. The disposition manifested by the Legislature of Illinois and Indiana to make satisfactory arrange ments with their creditors have been misconstrued by the foreign portion of the bondholders, and such remarks have been made by their organs, and such the course pursued in reference to the former State, by their agents here, that all anxiety to do anything more has been removed, and a feeling just the reverse taken its place. Since the arrangements referred to have been perfected, these States have been accused of repudiating a portion of their debts—a term never applied to them before. After having given up their lands to their creditors, placed their canals in the hands of trustees, appointed by the very bond holders making this charge—after having placed the arrears of interest in a tangible shape, to draw interest after a certain period—after, in fact, acknowledging every farthing of their debts, prin cipal and interest, and secured them by pledging all their available property—after increasing the taxes for the purpose of raising revenue to meet promptly the payments of interest, they are met with the charges of repudiation, and accused of swindling their creditors, by forcing them to accept the terms proposed within a certain period, or lose their claims against the State. There are undoubtedly many innocent parties in jured by the bad policy pursued by those who are no better judges of the character of our people than to suppose that they are to be intimidated by any of their threats, or forced into measures by their sneers, which would not willingly be done otherwise; but such is always the case, and we regret it is so. The character of our people, particularly those of the western states, will be understood, perhaps, when it is too late to do these foreigners any good. It is well enough for them to know that they will gain very little by the course they are now pursuing.

To this letter a reply was returned by the Mexican Boorefisty of War, of which the following is a hasty COMMERCIAL NEWS. REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) WEDNESDAY, SErT. 22. Business generally continues on a limited scale, and the market for most descriptions of foreign and domestic produce are rather depressed. The public mind has of late become excited by the occurrence of further failure, and generally speaking there is a reluctance to operate beyond the supply of immediate wants, the spirit of spe culation having of late materially subsided. A sum mary of markets by the Britannia will be found under its appropriate head. Ashes—Since the departure of the last s t e amer pots have advanced 181 cents, the receipts being very light and the demand good. The sales of Saturday and Mon day reached 200 bbls. at 5 dolls. 25c., and yesterday 100 at 5 dolls. 411 c. to 5 dolls. 37*c. according to tares.

Upwards of of all L's!,''e delicacies of the Besides his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, there were at the banquet Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P. • the Lord Mayer, the Amen can Minister ; the three Polish princes, Sapietra, Ladislaus, Czartoriski, and Adam Sapietra ; the Lord Chief Baron, his Excellency Mr. Bro,ike, her Ma jesty's Minister for Borneo • Count Zam•oyski, Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr. Walter, M.P., Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P., Mr. Waddington, M.P., Mr. Cabitt, M.P., Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Farebr'other, Alderman Kelly, Alderman Humphery, M.P., Sir' W. Magnay, Bart., Alderman Johnson, the Hon. C. E. Law, M.P., the Sheriffs, &c. The dinner was provided by Mrs. Smith, cook and confectioner, of Mile-end-terrace. The LORD ➢IAYOR proposed the usual loyal toasts, "The Queen," "The Queen Dowager," "Prince Albert," and "Albert, Prince of \Vales," which were drunk with the usual honours and enthusiasm. His LORDSHIP then rose to propose the health of " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the. rest of the Royal Family." The Duke of CesmaincE returned thanks for the very flattering manner in which his health had been drunk, in connexion with the health of the rest of the illustrious family to which he belonged. He assured the Lord Mayor that he could not adequately express the satisfaction he felt upon the present occasion. Upon many occasions he had attended in that hall before many of those by whom he was surrounded were born; but at all times, and under all circumstances, whatever the politics of the chief magistrate might be, he found the Royal Family received the warmest support. He, therefore, felt the utmost gratification in coming to the Man;ion•hou se to visit the chief magistrate of the greatest metropolis in the world. The LORD MAYOR, proposed " The Army and Navy," the great services of which were so well known as to require no particular commendation from him. General GRANT and Captain DENHAM severally returned thanks. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE proposed, " The City of London and.the Trade thereof," which he trusted would continue to prosper for ages. The LORD MATOR said the next toast he had to propose was " The health of the American Minister," who represented the thriving empire whose trade was diffused throughout the whole globe. The toast was of the greatest importance, because it was the interest of England to cherish and uphold the good under standing which existed between the two countries. The AMERICAN MINISTER said that, although not long a resident in this great country, he had already become acquainted, not only with its mighty re-; sources, but its boundless hospitality. He expressed the high gratification which he felt at the reception which he met with at the dinner given by the Sheriffs a few days ago, and declared that it was the wish of his Government, and his own wish, that his residence in England might not be a mere holiday residence, but that it might be distinguished by drawing closer the ties of friendship and amity between the two countries. He wished, in conclusion, that the pros perity of London might last as long as time itself The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then proposed " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor," whom he had the happiness of knowing for a considereble period, and for whose excellent qualities he had the highest esteem and respect.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Nothing could exceed the high sense he entertained of the honour done him by the illustrious Duke, in con descending to be his guest, and in proposing his health in terms so flattering. It was most gratifying to him to see his Royal Highness and such a number of distinguished guests at his board, and he assured them that the great wish of his heart was to serve his fellow-citizens, and to obtain their good opi nion. —(Cheers.) Hia LORDSHIP, in proposing "The health of the Chief Baron and her Majesty's Judges," passed a high en comium upon the present bench, and also took occa sion to eulogise the conduct of Sir George Pollock, the Chief Baron's brother, to whom the Corporation had lately voted the freedom of the City in a gold box. The CHIEF BARON returned thanks. He was in debt6d, in the first instance, for his professional suc cess I n e the fact of his having received the first part of his eNation at St. Paul's, one of the great City schools. With delight and ratitude he heard the Lord Mayor's allusion to his other, to whom he would have thelWeasing task of expressing hies feelings upon 1 1 NrAtring the distinguPhed reward which had been voted to him.—(Cheers.) He likewise returned thanks for his brethren of the bench, and con cluded by proposing " The health of the Lady Mayoress."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor, elect," who, he was convinced, would distinguish himself in his year of office by the able performance of his duties. The next toast was that of" John Masterman, Esq., and the Members of the House of Commons," the new blood infused into which would, the Lord Mayor hoped, be productive of material benefit. That the Legislature would have most important work to do there could be no doubt. Mr. MAsmamAN returned thanks. Sir PETER LAURIE returned thanks for the magis tracy of London. The RECORDER, in returning thanks for the honour done him by the Lord Mayor in proposing his health, alluded to the misunderstandings which had taken place between the Lord Mayor and the Court of Common Council, and said that the chief magistrate had acted all through upon his advice, and if that ad vice, which had been given after the most mature consideration, was erroneous, he was desirous of taking upon himself the whole undivided respon sibility.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Mr. Brooke, her Majesty's Commissioner for Borneo."— (Loud cheering.) The company were well acquainted with the merits of that distinguished gentleman, who not only was remarkable fur valour in war, but showed himself capable of the most successful exer tions in the great arts of civilisation.—(Cheers.) His Lordship particularly alluded to the labours of Mr. Brooke in reforming the Malays, who when he went amongst them were in the most lamentable state of ignorance and immorality, but left by him industrious, moral, and religious.—(Cheers.) Mr. BROOKE said he could not adequately express his sense of the honour conferred upon him, but he considered it an epoch in his life to go into so august a company, and to be received as a guest at the table of the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the world. If any efforts he had made in distant lands were deserving of approbation, he was more than re paid by the toast which had been just drunk and the praises of his own countrymen.—(Cheers.) He beg ged to be allowed to state that his opinion of the Ma -1 lays was different from that expressed by those who were r e a c ef be considerbeing th e m treacherous, raised heorpopuoss,ehde considered tothem. H in the scale of civilisation, and becoming as polished, theem did capablenet industrious, and respectable as those who represented them as abounding with bad qualities.—(Cheers.) He was sure he was ruled by pure intentions in all that he had undertaken and performed, and by the same steady principle he was convinced he should continue to be guided.—(Cheers.) Sheriff CURITT returned thanks for his brother Sheriff and himself. The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the three young Polish Princes with whose company he was honoured. Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART returned thanks for his Noble Friends, who felt it a high comp liment to be so distinguished by the Chief Magistrate of the a city to which their unfortunate country was so much indebted, in the presence of his Roy al Hi g hness the Duke of Cambridge.—(Cheers . ) The LORD MAYOR said he rose with infini te plea sure to proposer " The health of Mr. Walter, ti. it . w for P s Nottingham.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 9, BEDFORD-STREET, REDFORDSQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edits- burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, aro productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and _ of the physical capabilities of which every man should be Possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy ._ victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in y life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering qualified from their invariable beyond tile reachconsequences, unwisely entertains a leer of ap plying t. a for assistance where of alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination ie in ascertaining the causes of ri di a se b al ly e Ci s ia y rae p t a e t r h is y e nht suffer er, and and, above ea prac tical p h a y l s l 1 , c i s a e l c i ,r secrecy, qualifications that he is entitled i' posse sion of the requisite legal medical man who can show ' l ' ; t h a w pursuits, the utmost toconfidence and respect in his p t r io o n f vt e la s le- - thesf e i nce should he extended.
