As a matter of protection the Belfast banks, it is stated, must follow the lead of the great emporium of British finance, but beyond the extra cost of discount, no further veil is likely to ensue. The trade report of the Banner says :-- "Cash accommodation is freely given to all legitimate traders ; there has been no scarcity of money to meet every requirement, and we feel gratified to note that '• the fourth" passed over satisfactorily. Two failures have been announced, but they are not of such a character as to cause any great shock to local commerce. From the more distant towns and smaller places of business in the north-east of 'Ulster our advices are all favourable—pay ments continue good, and, though the state of trade is inactive, confidence holds the best place in commercial circles. The traffic on the several lines of railway have been fair for the week, and in the 'cross-Channel trade a large passenger-traffic goes steadily on. The Glasgow boats have had the best season ever recollected, and the Liverpool and Fleetwood have equal cause of satisfaction at the proceeds of goods awkpassengere' receipts." Aucl again, with regard toihe state of. the linen trade " All the larger bleachfields in this and the next coun ties are in full work; the amount of finished goods turned out during the last month is the largest known in any former October. Sales cannot be reported as at all changed for the better, except in some few cases. The export to New York is as perfectly et a stand as if a regular blockade existed between Great Britain and the city on the Hudson. In the home market no large sales are being effected, but it should be stated that for the nine months ending September the turnover in linens had been very extensive. 'The transactions in brown webs fall into small compass. Rarely have the sales been so low at any similar period of previous seasons, and, while production runs up to a pretty large aggre gate, the quantity of linen taken off by bleachers is small in the extreme. Ballymena market was dull on Satur day last, and considerable lots of stock left in the hands of holders. Lurgan on Thursday was no less inactive." The report of Mercury announces that all the large linen houses will be very slightly affected by the state of things existing in America : "For the last six months, or we might say nine, our manufacturers have been exercising great caution, and limiting very much their operations. Tee consequence is that they are quite easy under a pressure which would have told fear/ally upon them at the commencement of the year. If production be decreased still further in the various departments of our linen and cotton trade, as appears to be contemplated, there is no room for the ap prehension of any failures whatever " According to the Northern Whig the story of the crisis bas run through Ulster, and the conduct of numbers of the persons accustomed to deal with the banks has beea absolutely frantic. One good story speaks volumes : " A portly farmer, hurrying on a car from the railway station at which he had just arrives, drove up to one of our banks. He leaped from the car, rushed up the steps, dashed to the counter, and demanded the whole of his deposits--3001. or 4001. The clerk smiled, over hauled the books, deducted charges, and handed the money—in the bank's own notes—to the excited agri• culturist. The farmer pocketed the notes, breathed a deep sigh of comfort, and txclaimed joyously, ' Now, break as soon as you like ; I've got my money.' That is just the insanity of ignorance which for the last few days has been influencing the whale province. There has been a run on the branches of the Belfast banks in several directions, and of course that is a great inconve nience, and necessitates much di•arrangement. In Derry the run on that branch of the Belfast Bank was a per fect panic ; and this may go on, unless every man in a position to give him influence strives tocheck the lunacy. Let our country readers be assured that the Belfast Bank is a model establishment, conducted by profound finan • tiers ; that it has for years paid enormous profits ; that it it stapped to-morrow, its proprietary, and not the public, would lose ; and that when the Bank of England breaks the Belfast Bank will break, but not till then." LORD MAYOR'S DAY. THE BANQUET AT THE GUILDHALL. Last evening, after the return of the civic pro cession from Westminster (an account of which ap peared in our impression of yesterday), the new Lord Mayor and Sheriffs gave their annual banquet to the Common Council, on a scale of unusual splendour and abundance. The hall had been specially decorated under the superintendence of Mr. Bunning, the cityarchitect, who gave it a very warlike appearance, by surround ing the clustered columns on each side of the hall with muskets, intermixed with halberts bound to gether with laurel. In the centre of each compart ment were large trophies, composed of armour, swords, guns, and pistols, with emblazoned shields of different countries, also bound together with laurel. On the embattled scenes surrounding the hall (which are temporarily fitted up for ventila tion, the fresh air being admitted behind them), were bayonets and pistols, crossed so as to give the appearance of chevaux de frise, backed up with flags and Union Jacks. The eastern window bad in its centre a large trophy, composed of flags and armour, beneath which, in letters of gold, were the words "God Save the Queen," and above it the Prince of Wales' Feathers, composed of spun glass, and the motto. The western window was decorated with Messrs. Copeland's beautiful glass star. From the large cornices on each side of the hall was suspended, as usual, flags of all nations. The front of the south music gallery was decorated with an emblazoned shield, containing a portrait of hor Majesty, surrounded with swords and backed up with flags. That of the north gallery contained the city shield, decorated in a similar manner. The entrance, porch, and passages from Guildhall-yard were decorated in the same warlike style, with mus kets, cannon, and shot. The passages and lobbies leading to the Council Chamber were adorned with the Bayeaux tapestry. In the centre of the loggia to the Exchequer Court (converted into a ban queting room for the occasion) were placed two cir cular bassi-relievi shields, seven feet in diameter, designed and executed by J. G. Lough, Esq. In the one called " The Shield of Milton," which re presents Satan in the act of calling his followers to "Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen," Satan stands proudly on the burning mass. Of the sur rounding figures some —answering the summons with alacrity—are rising with fury, some are yet stunned by the fall and but half awake, others are assailed with forked lightning, while others seem as though they would prefer their lot to again risking the sword of Michael. The other, or Shaks peare shield, represents Shakspeare in the centre sleeping, watche•i by two Aerial Genii of Dream. The surrounding entablature depicts the story of "Midsummer Night's Dream," Night arresting the onward progress of Day, by parting the horses of Apollo, assisted by the flours. Below is the mar riage of Theseus by Hymen. To the right is the hunting scene, and Helen asleep ; to the left is Bottom and Titania, with Puck and his fairy revels. There were also a statue of the Spirit from " Comus," by Mr. Lough • Ariel, from Shakspeare's " Tempest," by Mr. Hancock ; " Chastity," by Mr. Durham, and a group of boys, " The First Thorn," by Mr. M'Dowall. In the area on the western side of the aldermen's court-room, was a scenic representation, composed from Gray's Pindaric ode of the " Welsh Bard," and a fine statue of the Bard by Mr. Theed— " Ruin seize thee, ruthless King, Confniion on thy banners wait' * * * * On a rock whose haughty brow Frowns o'er old Conway's foaming flood Robed in the sable garb of woo, With haggard eyes the poet stood," The statue was placed on a rock before a painting of "Conway Castle," by Frederick Fenton, and the army of Edward 1. was seen on its way through the valley below. In the foreground were mounted figures clothed in armour, representing King Ed ward and his knights. The area on the north side • of the aldermen's court-room was fitted up as a large conservatory, and filled with choice plants, in the centre of which stood a colossal figure, by John Bell, Esq., of " Armed Science ;" at the back of which was another painting, by Frederick Fenton, of the " Taking of Delhi." The recesses and niches in the lobbies and passages contained marble busts of "Egeria and Innocence," by Mr. Foley; the "Skipping Girl," by Mr. Thorneycroft ; " Baron Pollock," by \Tr. Durham ; a figure of " Are thusa," by Mr. Thrupp ; "Pandora," by Mr. Bell ; a figure of " Samuel,' by Mr. Bacon ; also several vases and figures from Messrs. Copeland's establish ment ; and in the council chamber a colossal head of L Th o e r d dinner He at h a fi n e d l d w , M. w r h . i No e h bwl were r a both supplied by Messrs. Staples, gave unusual satisfaction, and music r both vocal and instrumental, was added, to give completeness to the entertainment. The voca lists were the Misses Birch and Wilson and Mr. Gauge. Mr. Harker was the toast -master. Among those present were—The late Lord Mayor (Alderman Finnis), the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Clarendon, Viscount Palmerston, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Vernon Smith, M.P., Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Lord Justice Turner, Vice- Chancellor Stuart, Vice-Chancellor Wood, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Baron Channel), the Solicitor-General, Sir F.

His lord ship coupled with the toast the names of Lord Pan mure and Capt. Milne, R.N. Lord PA.NMURE, in returning thanks for the army, said it was unnecessary for him to utter one word in its praise. He had only to refer to its past history, and to point to its achievements in the present day. (Cheers.) Tue army now attracted almost the whole of public attention, not merely for its acts, for they bad always been of the bravest, but for the spirit with which its ranks were being filled. In the Crimean war the soldiers were always ready, although the food was not ; and now the regiments which had only returned from foreign service were ready at a moment's notice to rush to India to revenge the wrongs of our injured countrymen and countrywomen. (Cheers.) The same spirit caused the recruiting to go on rapidly ; so that in every way the army was truly worthy of the confidence of their fellow-citizens. (Hear.) Captain MILNE briefly returned thanks for the Navy. The following toasts were then given and re sponded to :—" Prosperity to the City of London ;" " The late Lord Mayor" (with a warm eulogium, which was loudly cheered by the company) ; " The Lord Chancellor ;" "The Judges," &c. &c. The LORD MAYOR next proceeded to propose " The health of Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's Ministers." He said that whoever might be in office, the health of her Majesty' s Mi n i s t ers was always well received in the Guildhall, where what was looked to was not mere shades of politics, but measures and men. He gave them the health of the prime minister of this country. He (the Lord Mayor) had sat opposite to his lordship the whole of the last session, and could testify to his indefa tigable attention to the business of the House of Commons. It was superfluous for him to say one word in praise of Lord Palmerston, but this he would say, that as chief magistrate of the City of London he was proud and happy to have that dis tinguished nobleman as his guest. He felt still prouder because his lordship was accompanied by Lady Palmerston. (Cheers and laughter.) Men were always most welcome to the citizens of London when accompanied by their better halves. (Con tinued laughter.) He begged to include her lady ship's name in the toast. Mr. Harker then, with much gravity, gave out, " Lord Palmerston, Lady Palmerston, and her Majesty's Ministers," to the great amusement of the company, who cheered for several minutes. Lord PALMERSTON rose to respond to the toast, and was received with loud and prolonged cheer ing. He said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gen tlemen—l thank you on my own behalf, on behalf of my colleagues, and in the name of my better half, whom the Lord Mayor has been g oo d enough to include---(a laugh)--for the honour that has been done us in the manner in which our healths have been proposed and received. Your lordship has alluded to the fact of having sat opposite to me during the session in the House of Commons, and 1 am sure you will believe me when I say that it affords me infinitely more satisfaction to be sitting at the same side of the table at your lordship's hospitable board than upon opposite sides of that unfruitful table which divides the House of Commons. (Cheers and laughter.) It was my hope that I might to-day have bad to announce the arrival of fresh intelligence from that quarter of the globe to which just now all eyes are turned, and to which the hearts of the whole country are directed. [ was in hopes that I might have bad, not a con firmation, but ample details respecting that bril liant exploit of arms by which the capture of Delhi has been achieved ; and I trust that before many hours have elapsed, we shall receive intelligence which will cheer the hearts of Englishmen, and prove that the caprure of the stronghold of the mu tineers has decided the fate of the contest, and. that what remains to be achieved is only the sequel of that memorable struggle. (Hear, and cheers.) My Lord Mayor, it is impossible for any English man to look upon what has been achieved in India—not by our soldiers only, but by civilians, by individuals scattered in knots over the whole surface of that great empire, without feeling more proud than ever of the nation to which we have the happiness to belong. (Cheers.) There never was an instance in the history of the world of such splendid examples of bravery, of intrepi dity, of readiness of reource, of self-reliance, or of such accomplished results as that of which India has been the scene...during the last few months. (Loud cheers.) But the government at home, on the other hand, may, I think, justly pride them selves on not having been wanting to the magnitude of the occasion. We took the earliest opportunity of despatching to India a great army—an army which bad not yet arrived when our great triumphs were accomplished, but which, when it shall arrive, will render what remains to be done compara tively easy of accomplishment, and will, I do not doubt, establish the power and authority of Eng land on an unshalsa Able basis throughout the whole of our Indian empire. (Hear, and cheers.) My noble friend, Lord Panmure, has alluded to the spirit which has been displayed throughout the country, and I am proud to say that, although we have despatched from these shores the largest army that I believe ever left it at one time, we have now under arms in the United Kingdom as many fighting men as we had under arms before the news of the mutiny had arrived. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") And, therefore, if any foreign nation ever dreamt in its visions that the exertions which we have been compelled to make in India have left us at all weakened, and that a different bearing may be observed towards us than in the hour of oar strength, the manner in which the spirit of the country has gone forth, the manner in which the ranks of our army have been filled, the manner in which our forces have been replenished, will teach the world that it is not a sale game to play to attempt to take advantage of that which they had erroneously imagined to be a moment of weakness. (Loud and protracted cheering.) Gen tlemen, it has been the fashion amongst people on the continent to say that the English nation is not a military nation, and in one sense that assertion may be said to be true. Au Englishman is not so fond as the people of some other countries of uni forms, and steel scabbards, and iron heels, but no nation can excel us either as officers or soldiers in knowledge of the duties of the military pro fession, or in the zeal and ability with which those duties are performed. (Hear, hear.) Wherever desperate deeds are to be accom plished, wherever superior numbers are to be boldly encountered and triumphantly overcome, wherever privations are to be endured, wherever, in short, there are the worst dangers for the soldiirs to face, there, I will venture to say, no nation is superior —I might, without too much national vanity, say, no nation can be equal to the people of England. (Loud cheers.) And while we admire the bravery and constancy of our countrymen in India, we must not forget to do justice to the high qualities of our countrywomen. (Cheers.) In the ordinary course of life the function of worn in is to cheer us in adversity and comfort us in the hour of suffering, or, in happier times, to give additional brilliancy to the sunshine of prosperity but our country women in India have had occasion to exhibit qualities of a much higher and nobler kind, and whether they have had to sustain the perils of a siege, or the still greater privations and dangers of escape, to neglect their own sufferings while alle viating the sufferings of others, the women of this United Kingdom, wherever they were placed in India, have displayed qualities of an unprecedented kind, and such as have never been surpassed in the history of the world. Henceforward the bravest soldier may think it,no disparagement to be told that he has courage and powers of endurance equal to those of an Englishwoman. (Cheers.) My lord, while we thus do honour and justice to the great bulk of ourcountrywomen in India, we must not forget that person who by his exalted position in that country stand at their head— i mean Lord Canning, who has shown throughout the contest the highest courage, tiniheliatraeraytessetrvaibcieli,ty will,andwe resource, and who, by Vs e cor dial7ty whi c h ex i sts b etween h i m as h ea d of the civil maybe service and Sir C o li n C amp b e ll as th e h ea d o f th e b e e x s e u r r t e i , on l e s av ca e n nothing undone th a t their combi effect, but that by both everything will be accomplished that may be necessary for the service of the coun try. (Cheers.) The task wh oh Lord Canning will have to perform will be indeed a difficult one. He will have to punish the guilty, to spare the inno cent, and to reward the deserving. To punish the guilty adequately:exceeds the power of any civilised (man,Hraegeea sr.such for or) asthe i But, couldmy atrocitiesonly whha have been ne imaginedbeen committed of na v demons in th e l owes t d e pth s o f h e ll. lord, as your lordship has ob served, justice must not be administered in a spirit of vengeance, but in a spirit of severity, in order that the example of punishment for crime may pre vent its repetition, and for the future insure the safety of our countrymen and countrywomen in India. (Hear, hear.) Lord Canning will have to spare the innocent, and it is most gratify ing to know that while the guilty are to be numbered by thousands the innocent must be reckoned by millions. It is gratifying to me as it is honourable to the people of India to know that the great bulk of the population of that countryhave had no share in the enormities which have been com mitted. (Hear.) Those men who have had experi ence of British rule, and who have thus been able to compare it with the tyranny practised by the native chiefs, have had no participation in the attempts which have been made to overthrow our dominion, and it is most remarkable that in that part of the empire which has been most recently acquired, I mean the Punjaub, that which has most recently ex perienced the government of the English, we have found the people the most loyal and attached to their new and benevolent masters. (Hear.) Lord Canning will have to re wardthe deserving, for many are they, both high and low, who have not only ab stained from taking part in this mutiny, but have most kindly and generously sheltered fugitives, have rescued others from the assaults of the mutineers, and have thus entitled themselves to distinction and reward. (Hear.) If Lord Canning receives, as I a m sure he will, that confidence on the part of the Government and people of this country without which it is impossible for a man in his high position to discharge his duty, I s am satisfied th a t, w h e n this dreadful tragedy has pased away, he will be found properly to have played his part, and to have ex hibited stern unflinching justice--not, however, without that discriminating generosity which has ever been the peculiar characteristic of the British people. (Loud cheers.) The noble lord concluded by again thanking the ,c,ompany for the toast. The next toast was The Foreign Ministers." Lord PaLafEasToN gave "The Lord Mayor," to which the latter responded, and gave " Lord Granville and the House of Lords," with a compli mentary allusion to his lordship's hospitalities iu M oscow , of which the Lord Mayor had been a partaker.

The Banner of Ulster has the following curious statement in reference to the frauds of the ab sconded tea merchant and to the conduct of the local Board of Customs : " Yesterday the Customs held a further investigation to ascertain the ownership of 219 chests of tea bonded by J. J. Moore in his stores, Skipper-street, and subsequently removed to other stores. The jury, after a full investigation, found that they were the property of different traders in town, some of whom had commercial transactions with Moore. Had fuller notice been given of the investigation pre viously held, it would have afforded several merchants who are now complaining an opportunity of establishing their right to property now under seizure by the Customs. The case is one which merits special consideration, affecting, as it does, the Customs spa 1 several of the most respectable merchants in Belfast. It is not generally known that several months ago a fraud was discovered by the officers of Customs prior to the time when the stock of teas in Moore's store was taken by them. When the stock was taken the officers did net pierce the chests, to discover whether they were filled with tea or brickbat.. Two chests of tea were wanting, but who removed them was a mystery. An investigatioa might have discovered the guilty party, but no investigation took place. Instead of this, as we have been credibly informed, the duty was demanded and a fine imposed, both of which Moore speedily paid We are not aware that any intimation of this irregular ity was conveyed to the securities, to whom such a dis covery was of so much importance. Had it been known to them that a burglary had been committed, the probe,. bilitv is they would have cancelled their securities. Moore would have lost his license, merchants would have obtained their goods, and the Customs would have escaped the obloquy and inconvenience to which they have been exposed. This was but the beginning of official Iblunders ; others greater far soon succeeded. The security they received was one of these. In stead of insisting on a security which would cover the entire of the goods bonded in Mcore'e store, what did they do They received half the amount,—that is to say, 3,0001. instead of 6,0001. And what has been the consequence ? They have been obliged to seize all the goods bonded in these stores to secure them selves against loss brought about by their own neglect ! Dutiable goods are generally bonded in the name of the merchants to whom they belong; the loss and inconvenience in this case, therefore, must be very con siderable.' Whether the law will sanction such a seizure remains to be seen, and whether the Crown shall be made to nay deterioration and loss to the sufferers may be dou . btful. One thing is manifest, that much evil has been created by the want of sufficient security having been originally taken by the proper authorities. It is true, when the fraud was fully known an investigation took place, witnesses were examined, persons arrested, war rants issued, and a reward offered for the apprehension of the culprit—but a'l this came too late, Moore, who could have given every information necessary, was al• lowed to escape. Why was he not arrested on the day the fraud was discovered. Was he not seen at hie office on that day ? Did he not go to the Exchange, as he was accustomed, on the evening of the same day ? Why, we ask, was he not arrested. An effort was made after he had left, but not by the Customs. That effort was abor tive, but if the Customs, backed by the Crown, had made energetic exertions on the Thursday night the culprit must have been taken, as he did not get away till next morning. It is reported he was in Lisburn , and left by an early train for Dublin on the Friday succeed- ing the discovery of the fraud. There can be little doubt, too, that after it became known he sailed is the Asia, had the authorities ordered a vessel from Cork, armed with such power as they could give, the Asia would have stopped," lain to,' and de livered up to them the flying fugitive. But this they did not do. The Customs have not stopped with the seizure of the goods in the bonded store ; they have removed all the property. Where ? TO an other bonded store ? No ; but to the vaults of the new Custom-house, where they will be exposed to the damp exhalations which necessarily proceed from a new building. Two evils may arise from this procedure —one, that of deterioration of the quality of the teas ; the other, depreciation in price, which may take place during their detention. The merchants complain, and we think justly, that the seizure and detention of their goods, are to them a serious pecuniary loss. They require them for the purposes of trade, but they cannot get them. The brand of the broad arrow is on them, and no matter what loss the merchants may sustain, there it must remain t 11 the Customs please to release them. There is one way of cutting this Gordian knot— that is, by a Government investigation into the entire conduct of the Customs in this case. It will be then seen whether or not the officials, from the collector down, have been!guilty of a great del ilec don of duty, and whether the respectable merchants of our town are not entitled to compensation from the Crown for the great inconvenience and loss they have sustained by the alleged negligence and incompetency of their officials." The last Irish bank returns show an increase in the circulation, as compared with the preceding re• turns of 765,1651., making, with the increase of last month, an enlargement of the notes in the hands of the public of considerably upwards of a million. This increase, large as it is, does not exceed that which usually takes place at this period of the year. In 1856 the increase on the month was 860,0001. ; in 1855 it was 890,0001. ; and in 1854, 670,0001. During the next three months we may expect that the circulation will about maintain its present level. There is ordinarily some increase in the issue in November, but at the present mo ment the banks will naturally pursue as cautious a course as possible.

We are requested to state that his Royal High ness the General Commandin g -in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Thursday next. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief has caused a circular memorandum to be addressed to general officers and officers command ing regiments and depots of infantry, in which he draws attention to the large proportion of soldiers in some regiments and depot battalion who are not trained to the use of the rifle musket. His Royal Highness will hold commanding officers responsible for any non-observance of the regulations upon this subject which may be hereafter brought to his no tice, it being intended that every soldier for whom a musket is issued shall go through a course of in struction annually.

As it is, the audiences embrace nightly our best critics; and those who are some bla'6 in theatricals, and rarely sit a piece through, may be seen in their seats throughout the performance—a compliment to Mr. Mathews, which marks the decided impression he has made in this city. Years hence, we shall probably speak of him, as those of a former generation allude to his father as one whose genius was apparent even in trifles, and whose accoaaplishmetts embraced every re quisite which tends to make the true artist. We regret that he has visited us at such an unfortunate period, for he would have found in a snore auspic'iuu , day, a welcome and an when which would have made his remembrance of a visit to Boston one of the most agreeable episodes of his eventful life. On Friday evening, Mr. Charles Mathews had a fine benefit, and on being called out, spoke as follows :—" I cannot sufficiently thank you for the kind encouragement and support I have met with in the city of Boston, at a moment, too, when it was hardly to have been expected, that my appear ance would meet with any attention whatever, so completely mast the publics mind have been occupied with more important matters, and I cannot but feel the more flattered by the compliment. lam some what unlucky in timing my visits to America. In 1838, some 19 years ago, I first crossed the Atlantic, and ' popped upon a pecuniary crisis in New York, and now in 1857 I have bad the luck to pop upon another. It seems as if my presence were doomed to bring a panic with it—(great laughter)—but I am happy to find, at any rate, that it has not had the effect of frightening you out of the theatre. (Laughter and applause.) Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, I think the best thing you can do is to come into it as often as possible, and to divert your mind for an hour or two from the cares of real life. In times of difficulty, so far from its being an expensive luxury, the theatre is about the cheapest mode you can adopt of passing your leisure moments. (Laughter.) During one of our hardest winters in London a poor man was observed almost every night, to the surprise of the money-taker, paying his Gd. to the gallery of the Surrey Theatre. At last, out of curiosity, he got into conver sation with him. How is it,' said be that you, who appear to be a very poor man, can afford to come and pay your money here night alter night, when one would think you had barely enough to keep life and soul to gether at home? ' That's it,' said I come here out of economy ! (Laughter.) It's the cheapest way I ran spend my evening. At home I must burn fire and candle, and have something to eat and drink for myself and friend, at an expen , e of 2s. or as. at the least; while here I get warmed, lighted, lodged, and amused, with plenty of good company around me, and all for Gd.' There was philosophy in this, ladies and gentlemen, and I recommend it to your serious consideration. (Much laughter.) I trust, when next I have the pleasure of visiting you, that matters will all have come right again, and I hope, at all events, that I may carry away with me the conviction that the suc cess I have now met with has been sufficient to warrant me in the belief that you will be glad to see me again. Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, I assure you that I am most grateful for your kind and hearty welcome. (Long and continued applause.) WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.-JUSTICE ASSURANCE COMPANY.-At a meeting in the winding up of this company's affairs, Mr. Beasley, the official manager, exhibited his accounts, which showed that about 8571. had been received from the shareholders towards payment of outstanding liabilities, leaving 5261. in hand. Mr. Edwards, the chief clerk, directed the account to be verified, and a dividend of 7s. 6J. in the pound (in addition to a previous one of 55.) to be paid to the creditors of the company. Mr. H. Harris, soli citor to the estate, reported that no doubt sufficient assets would be realised to pay a dividend of 20s. in the pound, besides the expenses of winding up. In the course of settling the list of shareholders liable, one of the officers of the company, when asked why he signed the deed for so many shares, whioh he now sought to repu diate, made the somewhat singular admission that he I signed the document "for amusement."

G" • It is, generally thought thit , re • in our huge metropolis. We 1 . r getic population and th e most the world ; spite of snaoke;:fog, btisdl. river, we enjoy excellent health ; OuiNparkvis aft lupplied with the best provisions oflEe country; ; all the . luxuries of the Continent fi n d t h e i r way to " our vaults ; we have the most perfe c t po li ce, system . " thit his Yerliseti devised ;:--With these 2 and 'a thou- j sandother advantages, what more ran we want, and what is thereto complain of ? We have one great f, misery, and itisbecoming intolerable—it is at times even sufficient to destroy all the other comferts 'of our hit, — andMake an inhabitant of the most luturi- - °us city in the world'long for the life of a savage in some impenetrable solitude at the sources of the Nile, or amid the snows of Greenland. We are af flicted every hour of the day, and almost every hour of the night, with a succession of excruciating noises, sometimes like the'shrieking of Punch, intended for ; our pleasure ; sometimes 'like' the shouting of newsvendors, intended for our profit; but always effective in giving to a residence in London the character of a perpetual pilgrimage such as poor Christian had to undertake through that Dark,_ Valley in which his ears were assailed with the rav ing and roaring, the groaning . and' moaning, Of a legion. f ,devils and human • wretehei for ever lost. In all seriousness, it is impossible to exaggerate this nuisance. There are persons who regard the • complaints of those who suffer from this mode s of torture with ridicule rather than commisFration. Happy. men who are deaf as adders and can afford to laugh ! They have ruled us too long, and 4 is time that, in spite of the caricatures of Hogarth, we should protest against a nuisance which is every day becoming more serious, and front which there is absolutely no protection save by farther legisla tive enactmertt. There is no protection, we say, for the ear is the most helpless faculty we have. It is at once the weakest and the Most wonderful, s the most ethereal and the most persecuted of our senses. It is a matter of choice whether vie shall taste or touch 'anything.; we can shut our.eyes or turn them away ; we can overpower one odour with another ; but hear we must, at all times and in all places. It is the most acute of all our senses ;it is the list that sleeps at night ;. it is the first that, wakes in the morning ;. and, as it is capable of more intense enjoyment tn any other, so also it is liable to more exquisite su ffering. A sense thus delicately constituted we subjeCt day ind - night to a torture: which is very nearly, equivalent to cutting off a malefactor's eyelids, and then crucifying him with his face to the sun. There is no possibility of escaping the din: This is the only very great. and universal nuisance in London, but it is so great as not only to affect Londoners with a chronic irritation which is destructive of health s Q well as of pleasure, but also to convey to stringers their invariable idea of the metropolis, expressed in that ndme - suggestive of • deafening noises and meaningless clamour— Babel. . Now, the point to be observed is, - that all the wont nuisances of the kind to which we allude are quite unnecessary. It would ba well if we could avoid the crash of the vehicles that, rolling like a battery of thunderbolts along our principal tho roughfare., seem to evoke a shriek from every stone as they pass. We have tried wooden pavement, iron pavement, and Macadam, and we have been obliged again to return to s'oue. Unfortunately, the noise of the vehicles is inevitable; but it is not of this that we complain so much as of the cries and the music which infest the best streets, and particularly if they are called quiet stieete, whether iu Belgravia, Ty burnia, or Mayfair.: If the roar of Cheapside or Fleet-street is bad, the clatter of some retired terrace or secluded crescent. named after one of the Marquis of Westminster's country seats is ten times worse. In the one there is something of a rhythmic movement—it suggests the roaring of the waves as they break ou till shore, or of the wind rushing through a mighty forest, and in con sequence of its monotony we learn to forget it at last. In the other there is that variety and compliCation by which the torment renews itself continually, and with increased violence. After the Parcels' Delivery van has rattle , ' past there comes the cry of "B er !" then of "Milk 1" suddenly an organ breaks upon the scene ; then a shout of "Baudboxes !" then of " Baskets !" then - the organ again ; it is the turn of the old clothesmau next ; after him comes a Lascar beating on a drum ; the strains of Ethiopian Serenaders from the public house round the corner soon float upon the ear ; Punch squeaks past to add to the harmony ; the Frenchman and his dogs set up a howling in the distance ; a German brass band creates discord upon system, and as it grows towards dusk a host of " roaring vagabonds" line the streets, shouting ones against the other—" Important news from India I" —"Relief of Lucknow !"—" Glorious 'victory of ' General Havelock I" But what of all this must be accepted as necessary ? Who in these quiet streets and fashionable squares has within human memory been known to buy of a hawker, unless it be some unhappy servant on board wages in frenzied search of excitement while the tamily is out of town ? And yet hawkers succeed each other in such regular and frequent intervals that no street is ever without one shouting at the top of a prac tised voice stale lettuce, or fish, or lobsters. Then for the music, who wants it, and who pays for it ? Does it bring solace to the soul of Jeames ? Does it put life into the calves of John Thomas ? It may be useful to the cook, in teaching her the airs of the last opera, and it may be gratifing to Buttons to see his master' roused into ;fury ; but certainly nobody else can desire it, and not even these worthy people can de sire it for sixteen hours a-day. What, then, is to be done, at present we are quite helpless ? If even the fashionable quarter, the residence of our Ministers and our Parliament, is as unable to protect itself from these nuisances as 1 froin the smoke itself, what must Bloomsbury and Fitzroy squares endure ? There seems no relief, for on Saturday last at Bow-street, when one of the in habitants of University-street, who had previously in India suffered much from brain fever, complained of the distress which the constant grinding of the street organs gave him, the organ-grinder was dis missed merely on his promise not to play again in the same street. Whatever may have been advis able in this particular case, it is evident that the whole tribe are, as a general rule, dealt with by : far too leniently, and that the Belgravians, in pre+ paring a petition for Parliament praying that these adventurers should be dealt with as beggars, have not moved in the matter a day too soon. They are not agitating, be it remembered, for a whim, for an idle pleasure. There is nothing, ge believe, which interferes so materially with health as the privation of all rest and the mental irritation which our street cries and music create ; and in many parts of the town there can be little doubt that the eternal hubbub of hawkers and itinerant musicians is a far mori potent cause of ill-health than the bad drainage and universal smoke of which we hear so much, We can trace fever and cholera directly to the want of ventilation, to the impurity of water; or to the presence of some noxious exhalation ; but the dis cordant cries of our streets affect us through the mind, and the sinking of the nervous system, which is attributed to excitement or over-exertion, might often with more truth be accounted for by the want of a really quiet home. The fact if., the Police Act must be amended, and householders protected from an evil which threatens to make London uninhabit able, for no one's profit but to supply a miserable existence to a race who are tempted to eke out the nefarious gains which they earn from the torture of sober citizens by other processes which are still more nefarious, but perhaps more easy to bear.--r , Times.
