The cloth having been removed and Non Nobis . chanted, The LORD MAYOR rose to give the first toast.—lt was a great gratification to him to propose in that hall " The health of her Majesty the Queen," wishing her a long, a happy, and a glorious reign.— (Drunk with all the honours and followed by the National Anthem.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said he had great pleasure h 1 giving " The health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager," with sincere wishes that she might return to this country with renewed health after her sojourn abroad.—(Loud cheers, followed by a glee.) The LORD MAYOR said, the next toast was "The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of 'Wales, and the remaining branches of the Royal Family." That day was not only dear to those he addressed as citizens of London in con nexion with one of their most cherished privileges— the election and inauguration of their chief magis trate ; it was also memorable as the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.—(Cheers.) He was sure they all entertained towards his Royal Highness every feeling of attachmenta-2-(Cheers.) He hoped as he grew in stature he would grow in wisdom, and ultimately prove a blessing to the country.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast was, "Prcsperity to the City of Lon don and its Trade."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR had great pleasure in next pro posing "The Navy and Army" Although living in times of peace, which he hoped would long continue, for it was a great blessing to the world, they must not forget the glorious deeds which both services had rendered in times past, and which always ought to excite the grateful recollections of the country. He had great pleasure in associating with . the navy the name of a Noble Earl who was then present, who had twice Ailed the honourable post of First- Lord of the Adrniralty, and whose name he was sure would be well received in every assembly of Englishmen—he meant. the Eerl cif _A_.. ,, 1 , 1 , ....1._ (C 1.......) And with the army he begged to connect the name of Sir E. Cust. He was quite sure, if either of the services were again wanted, their achievements would equal anything accomplished in former times.—(Cheers.) The Earl of AUCKLAND and Sir, E. CUST, briefly acknowledged the compliment. The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of the late Lord Mayor." He had great gratification in stating that his Lordship had gone through his year of office in a manner calculated to secure the full concurrence and approval of his brother magistrates. —(Cheers.) Considering the great number of cases which had come under his notice as chief magistrate, he could appeal with confidence to every one who had observed the manner in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged his duties, whether he had not uni formly acquitted himself in a manner to entitle him to the high commendation of his fellow-citizens.— (Cheers.) Guided by a strong, honest, and upright desire to do what he considered best, it must be a high satisfaction to him that he now retired from office with the conviction in his own mind that he had faithfully, conscientiously, and fully discharged his duty, and carried with him that best of all rewards, the approval of every honest mind.—(Loud cheers.) Sir G. Caßßoer, returned thanks. Nothing, he could assure them, was a more gratifying compliment to a public man on retiring from office than the tribute he had just received of approbation from his fellow citizens and brother magistrates. He had endeavoured to do his duty faithfully and impartially, and their public approval had amply rewarded him.—'(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said, they were honoured with the presence of several Ambassadors representing foreign Princes. It was gratifying to have an opportunity of seeing at that table so many distinguished characters from other countries. It was a sure proof that we were on re lations of amity and in bonds of peace with the nations of Europe and America. He earnestly hoped for the continuance of peace during many years ; thus, through a free intercourse between different nations, would the blessings of civilization be most happily p ro moted.—(Cheers.) That these amicable relations might exist was, he was sure, the unanimous wish of every individual he now addressed.—(Cheers.) They were now honoured with the presence of his Excel lency the French Ambassador.— (Cheers.) They wore all, be was sure, anxious that nothing should occur to disturb the good feeling and harmony that ought to prevail, and which at present prevailed, be tween this country and that great nation whose re presentative sat immediately on his right.—(Cheers.) They all felt it was essential to the peace of Europe and of the world, that two countries like Great Britain and France should be united together in the firm bonds of peace and amity. That this might last for many years to come was his most sincere and anxious wish. He had great pleasure in connecting with the toast of the " Foreign Ambassadors " " The health of his Excellency the French Minister."—(Loud cheers.) M. le Duc de BROGLIE—J'ai regret, ou plutOt je suis confus, de n'oser repondre a votre noble et bien veillant appel dans une langue qui m'est etrangere; j j'en ai regret surtout p ou r l e cor p s auque l 'appar tiens ; it lui faudrait un autre interprete. Les vceuxl que nous formons, en effet, les sentimens qui nous animent, nous tenons a les exprimer tout haut devant toute l'Angleterre en presence de cette immense cite, la tete et le cceur de ce vaste empire. Nos VCQUX sont ceux que forment pour lui ses propres enfans. Grace a Dieu, nous ne vivons plus dans ces temps d'etroite jalousie, de rivalite obstinee, ou les nations ne voyaient leurs grandeur et leur prosperite que dans l'abaissemont et la ruine l'une de l'autre. Nous vivons dans les temps de paix et de liberte. Les arts de la paix sont feconds et fraternels T de la ouslibrt lea epee ; u ples peuvent grandir ensembles ausoleil . i touts peuvent s'elever en civilization, en lignite mo rale, en Is science, en richesse, a pas negaux pent etre, mais sans se porter envie. Nous voyons avec joie les propres de l'Angleterre. Nous admirons les fruits de son genie hardi et perse'vlirant, les tresors de son commerce, les merveilles de son industrie, etalees, sous nos yeux, dans la magnificence de cette , fete civique. Nous reconnaissons dans Phospitalite splendide qu'elle exerce envers nous un nouveau temoignage de ce respect et cette affection qu'elle porte aux Princes des nations que nous representons ici. Ces sentimens sont recsproques. Puissent- ils s'accroitre de jour en jour ! L'Europe leur doit déjà trente annees de paix. Puissent ces trente an flees etre sui suivies de trente autres, et de trente autres encore! Puissent, de generation en g6nera tion, tous ceux qui viendront, a pareil jour, nous rem placer dans cette enceinte, avoir droit, comme nous, de se feliciter du passe et de compter sur l'avenir ! The LORD MAYOR then rose and said, be had now the honour to propose a toast, which he was quite confident would secure their unanimous approbation. He was about to propose " The health of her Majes ty's Ministers."—(Loud and continued cheering.) He offered no political toast, nor was there any ne cessity in that hall, on such an occasion, that he should do so. But it was fitting and necessary that they LORD MAYOR'S DAY. THE. BANQUET. st The banquet was g i ven i n the usual magnificent yle, at Guildhall. The company began to arrive as early as four o'clock. At about half-past six the Lord Mayor, preceded by the trumpeters of the Life Guards, attired in their state uniforms, and fol lowed by the Ministers of State, the foreign Ambas sadors, &c., entered the hall by the state entrance from the receiving chamber, and the procession moved across the hail, and turning to the left and thence to the top table, the guests took their places in the order which had been previously arranged. The lighting of the hall, and the general effect of the display of the splendid gas star, the arrangement of the banners, &c., under the directions of Mr. Bunning, reflected the highest credit on that gentleman's well-known taste and judgment. . In the window at the east end there has this year been introduced a novelty of a singularly curious and beautiful character. At the base of the window, and immediately over the Lord Mayor's seat, were the w9eis, " God 'save the Queen," in large and brilliant letters, and immediately above, in the midst of an ela borate trophy, was placed, in honour of the birthday of the - Prince of Wales, a magnificent plume of feathers, with the usual appendage of royal coronet and motto, "Ich Dien." This splendid object measures nine feet in height, and, with the exception of the stems, which are of gilt metal, is composed entirely. of spun glass, of the finest texture and most dazzling whiteness. The fibres which constitute the feathery portion of the plume are as fine as hair, and have the soft and glossy appearance of silk. This superb and costly ornament was entirely designed by Mr. Bunning, and executed under his immediate superin tendence, by Mr. Martin, of the house of the late William Collins, of the Strand. As a matter of curiosity, it may be added that the combined length of the several fibres of glass employed in the con struction of this interesting ornament is equal to 50,000 miles. The Council Chamber, with its rich collection of paintings and sculpture, was appropriated, as usual, for the presentation of guests to the Lord Mayor and "Lady Mayoress prior to the banquet, and as a retiring room afterwards. By an outlet at the upper end of this room visitors passed through a small outer room into the Court of Aldermen's Chamber, elegantly fitted up as a withdrawing room. From openings made by the removal of the two large windows at the end of this apartment, the company obtained a view of an other new embellishment more startling, perhaps, than any that preceded it. This was a representation of part of the Alpine pass across Mount Simplon. In this instance'an attempt has been made to convey an idea of the majestic grandeur and wildness of the scene, not merely by a painting on a plan surface, but (after the manner used at the Colosseum) by erecting actual structures and employing other acces sories, to represent the various features of it. The scene, therefore, occupies the whole area of a large court-yard, and may, in fact, be called a model of the locality it represents, which is the gorge and gallery of Gondi with the waterfall o f th e F rasmodi, on the Italian side of the Simplon, about four leagues from Domo d'Ossola. It is intended brthe Corporation that all these splendid decorations (including the plume of feathers, the Alpine scene, and the conservatory) shall remain up for use at the approaching Polish Ball, which will take place on the 17th instant with surpassing mag• nificence. Among the company present were, on the right of the Lord Mayor,—The French Ambassador, the Due de Broglie, Lord John Russell, M.P., the Earl of Auckland, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P. the Right H on . F ox Maule, Sheriff Cubitt and Lady, Right Hon.

Hum, Nov. 9, 1847.—This day will be memorable in the history of this borough as a period when the real Reformers have shown themselves deserving the name. They have broken up a domineering faction which has been strengthening itself ever since the Municipal Cor porations Reform Act was passed until the conduct of its leader became insupportable; and at last the Reformers, being determined no longer to succumb to the dictation of a clique who arrogated to itself the power of naming the Mayor, Aldermen, &c., to be chosen, have broken the spell that bound them, and have elected a man of their own choice and free will to the mayoralty, John Lee Smith, Fsq who ably and independently filled the office of sheriff last year. NEW MAr oas. --. l4lVEEPOOL.—Yesterday the an nual ele c ti on of mayor for the borough took place, when Mr. T. B. H orsfall was elected by a majority of twenty nine to twenty seven against Mr. T. B.

On the present occasion they were honoured with the presence of the Right lion. Lord John Russell, the head: of the Cabinet.—(Loud cheers.) He begged leave to offer that Noble Lord the sincere good wishes of the company, that his Lordship and the Govern ment might, under the blessing of Providence, carry forward all those measures which the exigency of the state and the peculiar circumstances of the times re quired. He trusted they would be blessed with health and energy, and that their measures would be successful. The toast was drunk with all the honours amidst most vociferous cheering. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with renewed applause. His Lordship spoke as follows :—I beg, in the name of her Majesty's Ministers and my own, to thank you for the great honour you have done us in drinking our health. We are fully aware of the importance of having the support and confidence of the city of London for the pu r p ose o f carrying on the Govern ment. - I am sure, that we, the Queen's Ministers, intend to do what we think will be most beneficial for the country; and in that belief, omitting all subjects of political controversy, I will say we shall not hesi tate to admiffister, and, if need be, to exceed the law, if we think it necessary for the public welfare. I have heard with great pleasure your Lordship's sen timents in favour of the continuance of peace —sen timents which were so well responded to by my illus trious friend the, French Ambassador, who is here present. I wish, like him, that that peace _which has now lasted for thirty years may long endure, and my anxiety for its continuance, I own, arises not more from a sense of the evils of the war which then closed, than from the experience of the benefits of that peace we have so long enjoyed.— (Loud cheers.) .[ trust that you and. this compeny will permit me, before I sit down, to give " The health of the Lord Mayor."—(Loud cheers.) It is of the utmost importance that the functions which he ad ministers in this great city should be discharged with firmness and with temper, and I rejoice that the citi zens of London have chosen as their chief magistrate one who will not be deficient in those qualities.— (Cheers.) I trust that in the coming year the peace of the City may not be disturbed ; but I feel sure that you have chosen a chief magistrate equal to any circumstances in which he may be placed.--(Cheers.) I beg to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor." The Lord MAYOR returned thanks, and gave " The health of the Judges." Lord PENMAN acknowledged the compliment and proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress," which was drunk with all the honours. The LORD MAYOR having returned thanks, the la dies retired. " The Attorney-General and the Bar," " The Re presentatives of the city of London" (acknowledged by Baron Lionel d e R ot h sch i ld), " The Sheriffs," " The Magistrates of the city of London," and several other toasts, were then drunk, after which the corn, pany retired. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— ; On Monday morning an accident occurred to one of the trains on this line, which, though of an unpleasant nature, was, fortunately, not attended with any very serious consequences. In consequence of the approach ing Parliamentary sitting the trains within the past few . days have been exceedingly heavy, and the train which left Exeter that morning at eight o'clock, intended to reach Paddington at three P.M , was one of unusual length. It had proceeded on its way till it arrived near Bridgewater. when, to use the expression of one of the railway employes, " one of the legs came off the steamer," lso that it had to work on one leg for some distance ; caused, it is supposed, by the extraordinary load of the train, and the contrary wind and wtot at the time. The power of the steam having been thus gone, it was found neecessry to t.;et up the steam in another boiler at Bridgewater, as the train was unable to proceed further, and a considerable delay to the already affrighted passengers was occasioned. After a stop page of full one hour the train was enabled to proceed ; but in consequence of the delay the greatest suspense and alarm prevailed at all the intermediate stations, and the other trains throughout the day were put in confusion and di sor d er . An additional loss of time also occurred in the distances between the different stations, and on the heavy train reaching Paddington it was nearly two hours beyond its appointed time. We have no doubt, from the complaints made, that an in quiry will be instituted, in order to see to what party blame is attached. CHARTER OF INCORPORATION FOR BIRKENHEAD _•- A meeting of the owners of property in Birkenhead, the rate-payers, and people generally of the township, was held on Monday, at the Craven Rooms, for the pur pose of adopting such measures as might be deemed necessary towards obtaining for the town a charter of incorporation; and also for agreeing to invest the autho rities with powers to lay an additional tax on the owners of all landed and house property in the township. Th• meeting was very numerously attended. Wm, Jackson, Req., M.P., was called to the chair. Mr. Mortimer, as one of the overseers of the poor, then read the requisi tion on which, with his colleague, he had been induced to call the meeting, atter which the Chairman ad dressed the meeting at considerable length on the object for which they had been assembled, and read the following resolution which be had prepared for the meeting:—" Resolved, That the owners and oc cupiers of property in Birkenhead, Claughton•cums- Grange, and part of Ox ton, in public meeting csternbled, regarding with deep concern the present position of the township, and being desirous of a better administration of our local affairs, and that faith may be maintained with the township creditors, and encourage ment given for the investment of capital, do hereby re respectfully, but earnestly, call upon the Commissioners to take steps for the purpose of obtaining for this dis trict the privilege of municipal incorporation ; and for the purpose of authorising by an application to Parlia ment in the ensuing session, and otherwise, the levy of a general rate upon property within the district for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt. And we further request the Commissioners to call a public meeting of the inhabitant householders of this district, for the purpose of petitioning her Majesty in Council to grant us a Charter of Incorporation ; and we pledge ourselves to render every assistance in our power to the attainment of these desirable objects." The motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman, Mr. Craven, Mr. Willoughby, Mr. Bailiff; Mr. Appleby, Mr. Collins, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Mortimer, and Mr. Eastwood, were ap pointed as the committee, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated - - • ----• CADVERTISEMENT.3-One ofthe greatest impositions practised at the present day by shopkeepers, not only in London, but in every city and town throughout the Kingdom, is that of forging the property of another , and imposing on the public the counterf e it ar ti c l e with all the assurance of innocence.—We allude in the present instance to those admirable requisites for the toilet, the Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Oaonto, as prepared by the Messrs. Rowland, and which, from their merits and ro- putation, are the constant objects of fraudulent imita tion, The parties so counterfeiting concoct some trashy compounds resembling in appearance the preparations of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting the very same names and copying the labels, bills, &c. &c. endeavour to pass them off as the " GENUINE ;" reckless of the injury which they will inevitably inflict on those who are de ceived into using them. We would therefore advise all patrons of Messrs. Rowland? articles, to purchase only of:respectable venders—and particularly to observe the Caution in their advertisements which frequently appear in our paper. CONFUCIUS FORETOLD TIIE MESSIAH, B.C. 520.-- According to a translation of the prophecy, Confucius evidently professed a firm belief in the Supreme God.

Her Majesty's flag-ship V?n jdictive, 50, Captain Michael Seymour, and her Ma esty 's stearn-sloop Vesuvius, Commander Herbert G.A . ,usten, left Halifax on the 9 2d of September, for the West Indies. Her Majesty's sloop Electra, 14, Commander Frederick IV , I'. Bouverie, was in the vicinity of Halifax. The following are passengers by the. Belleisle : Colonel Walker, 8.A., end lady; Captain Roebuck, lady, and family; Captain Vesey, 4Gth Lieutenant Harvey, A.D.C., 34th; Captain Searle, Bova/ Ma ' rines ; Lieutenant Turnay, 64th ; Lieutenant Albeny, 46th, in charge of invalids; Mr. Lamont, Commis_ nary-General ; Mr. Robinson, Deputy Commissary_ General ; Mr. Ratsey and family, Mr. Maule, and* loYfe s t P h t e e l : dB ' Mr. Johnson. The Belleisle proceeds from Ply mouth to the Mediterranean. Yesterday afternoon it came on to blow heavily from the southward, and contiGues very stormy. No da mage has yet occurred herei. but it is reported that the brig Eliza Liddell, of Gia sgow, with stone coal, from Swansea, for London, is aow riding at Yealrn in some danger, with both anchors-down, and both masts cut away. PORTSMOUTII, TUESDAY. ME.' Sidon steam_ frigate, Captain W. 11. Henderson, C. 8., went out to Spithead this morning, ready to emb, - tric the Earl Dalhousie, family, and suite, for Alexandzia. Some sheets of copper on the bottom of; the Ter rible steam-frigate being either rubbed or ruffled, it became necessary to replace them, and as they were situate several feet under water, she required to be docked. But no dock here is long enough to receive her, so they have laid her ashore on the starboard side of the creek at Clarence-yard, all her guns and stores being still aboard. It is true the bottom is soft mud, and she will only have to lie one tide, bat it is still a very great risk with so large a vesseL ,She completely blocks up the passage. The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Command ing Si r G o df rey Webster, arrived to-day from Wool wich. She is bound to the Mediterranean to be used as a packet. She is to call at Plymouth, and will take supernumeraries for the fleet. A sum of money has been remitted to this port by the company of proprietors of the Great Britain steam-ship, in liquidation of the claims of the riggers belonging to this dockyard and Plymouth who were employed in getting her off the shore in Dundrum bay, but as it was not equal to their legal a/lowance, and would not have divided more than 30s. per man, a letter has been written to the company, stating what ought to be paid, and in the meantime the matter stands over for the present. The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Commander A. H. Ingram, was removed from the basin to-day. Mr. Henry Frederick M'Killop, late mate of the Calliope, 26, on the New Zealand station, now in the Queen, 110, at Lisbon, who commanded a gun-boat and otherwise greatly distinguished himself in the operations against the New Zealanders, as expressed repeatedly in the dispatches of the senior officer on the station, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, his commission bearing date the 16th of October, 1847. By private letters received from her Majesty's ship Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, which arrived at Valparaiso on the 25th of August, last from Mazatlan, we find Rear-Admiral Sir George Sey mour had his flag flying on board the Cormorant steam-sloop, which was to be shifted on the next day to the Carysfort, and the Cormorant to sail imme diately for England, with a good freight on merchants' account. We are happy to state that Captain Sey mour, of the Carysf ort, had quite recovered from his recent attack of illne ss . We have also letters from the Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of the Commander-in-Chief Sir G. Seymour, to the 26th of August, stating that on the following day she was to sail, with Lady Sey mour and family on board, to join the Admiral at Chili. This letter, it will be perceived, does not tally with its predecessor. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, sailed from Valparaiso for Engl an d (this we have by the latest advices) on the 28th of August, all well. The Undine steam yacht returned from Jersey this afternoon. Wind, W.N.W., moderate breezes; weather fine. —Five r.m. CHATHAM, ov. 9 —The Oberon steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander Gardner, was put out of dock on the Bth instant, and floated alongside the sheer hulk, and received on board her gun-carriages and guns, consisting of two 32- pounders of 25 cwt. each, and one long 68, and a boat gun. She will take in her powder and shot in Gillingham, where she will arrive on the 10th instant, and then proceed to sea. The Meander, 44 guns, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, was taken alongside the sheer-hulk yester day, when her masts were put in their places: - She was taken into dock this day. It is uncertain whether this ship will be rigged in dock, as the Hercules, 72 guns, has come up from Sheerness, to be fitted for sea. She is f - f , anti To firm - g nome timber from India. Lieutenant C. H. Read, who commissioned this snip, is late of the Conway, and was promoted when in China in 1841. The Meander is to be employed in the expedition against the Sooloo pirates in the islands of the Indian Archipelago. Her boats are being built upon Lord John Hay's prin ciple. She is to have a launch, the keel of which is now laid down in this yard ; it is 45 feet in length, and it is to be fitted with high-pressure engines of four horse-power, and to carry two brass guns and a howitzer. This launch is for the purpose of proceed ing up the rivers and creeks, and towing up the boats, to enable the marines and blue jackets to get at the strongholds of pirates. The Castor, 36 guns, Captain C. Graham, arrived in this harbour on Sunday afternoon last to he paid off. Several individuals who h a d f r i en d s and relations on board put off in boats and went alongside. Among them was a woman who had come f rom London to See her son. While sitting in the boat with a water man, a seaman fell from the main yard on to the woman with such force that her head was much in jured and her thigh broken. She was immediately conveyed to Melville Hospital. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CALLS DUE TIIIS DAY.—Lowestoft, 3/. per share; Midland Great Western (Ireland), 50?.

It is co mmun i cated in private letters that the Kafirs are preparing to make an attack on Fort Beau fort and Somerset. The Cape Mounted Rifles are going to make a move on Thursday, followed up by the other troops, and it is considered that they will have hard work." The Cape Frontier Times, of August 24, says— " There is no intelligence of any moment from the front. Kafirland, as well as the colony, has been deluged with rain. The detachments of the C. Al. R., lately stationed in town, have proceeded to reinforce the forces at the various posts. There are strange rumours afloat; one of these, which seems to have gained much belief, is to the effect that the Right Hon. the Governor has received peremptory orders from home to finish the war, whether the Kafirs are beaten or not." The Kafirs, says a letter just received from Fort Beaufort, " are very restless—about 300 to 500 have located themselves between this and Block Drift, and Macomo, as their chief, is there, and has been for two nights in Fort Beaufort." From Philipton (Kat River) the Kafirs lately stole 30 head of cattle, which were re-captured by the people of the settle ment, and one of the marauders shot. The admiral, in his flag ship, had departed for Madagascar. --- The Right Hon. Sir R.

In 1825, when the Company was established, few persons compara tively availed themselves of Life Assurance; and the amount of business transacted by the Offices then in existence, though few to number, was of very limited extent. About the period a the first investigation of the Company's affairs in 1835, th public interemt in w °races a been es a t co a: rid ; anal the suc cessful course of the Offices previously established, which was then becoming more strongly marked, had the effect of directing the at tention of many persons to the subject who had not previously con sidered it. These circumstances, and the satisfactory result of the Company's business at the first investigation, had the effect of greatly accelerating the progress of the institution, and in the period between the First Division of Profits in 1835 and the Second in 1810, the income of the Company was mere than doubled. The division of profit in 1840 again called increased attention to the Company; and at 1845, the Third Division of Profits, the income was nearly treble the amount at 1840, the previous Division.
