OPENING OF THE LAW COURTS, ST. GEORGE'S HALL. The law-courts committee of the Council met on Satur day last, for the purpose of making arrangements for the opening of the approaching assizes, as Mr. Justice Parke has communicated his intention of opening the courts on Monday week, the Bth December. The commission of assize will be opened at the old Court-houses; but on the Monday morning his worship the Mayor, accompanied by members of the Town Council, and other gentlemen, will proceed in state to the judges' lodgings for the purpose of escorting their lordships to the new Court-houses. On Saturday a band of music was taken into the great hall and the court-rooms for the purpose of testing their capabilities with respect to sound. The members of the law-courts committee, who were present, we under stand, expressed their entire satisfaction on this iin7 • portant point. A sub-committee has been appointed for the purpose of carrying into effect all the necessary arrangements contingent on the opening. DINNER TO THE HON. J. R. WALKER Last evening a dinner was given at the Adelphi Hotel, Oates by luttinn MODERN AND HANDSOME FURNITURE, CANNING- of Commerce, to the Hon. J NTREE7 R. Walker, late Secretary to the United States Treasury, to mark the sense entertained of that gentleman's services in giving facilities to the commerce of the country, by the introduction of the bonding system, and the reduction of the tariff to moderate revenue duties. About seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner, amongst whom were— E. Arnaud, T, D. Anderson, William Barber, J. C. Boyd, T. H. Barclay, Thomas Bolton, G. A. Brown, C. Baring, Thomas Baxley, Manchester; Mr. S. Bird, E. J. Brine, S. Bright, the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, Bell, Miles Barton, M. K. Collet, H. C. Chapman, Alfred Castellain, C. Colt, F. P. Corbin, Colonel Crittenden, Robinson Duckworth, G. J. Duncan, Rowland Edwards, H. Earle, R. B. Grinnell, M. Hyslop, R. E. Harvey, George Holt, H. Littledale, General W. G. M'Neal, J. B. Moore, J. S. Mansfield, Duncan M'Viccar, A. M'Gregor. Joseph Malcomson, Captain Nye, Wm. Otley. C. W. H. Pickering, John Parker, R. Ran kin, Wm. Rathbone, jun., H. Stalterfoht, F. Shand, Char!es Saunders, Frederick Saunders, W. Stuart, Thos. Thornely, M.P., J. A. Turner, Manchester, lion. R. J. Walker, Thomas Sands, and A. H. Smith, Esqs. The dinner was announced to take place at half-past six, but it was a quarter-past nine before the cloth was removed. The dinner was stated to be of the most recherche description ; but we are unable to say whether this is correct or not, the reporters being excluded until the cloth was removed, and some of them had not the courage to resent the indignity so gratuitiously offered them ; and which would not be tolerated for a moment in any other town in England. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with honours, The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Pre sident of United States. (Drunk with great applause.) Mr. CORBIN responded, and in conclusion, proposed the land of his forefathers. (Applause.) By Messrs. THOS. W I NSTANLEY and SONS, Tilts DAY, (Tuesday,) the 25th instant, at Eleven o'clock pre cisely, on the Premises, No. 38, Canning-street, near Falk ner:square, The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks and the clergy of this country, and of America. (Drank with great applause.) The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS responded. He said, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I beg leave, on the part of the clergy of my own country, and I assure you I havean equal pleasurein being allowed to do so on the part of mybrethrenacross the Atlantic, toofferyouour best thanks for the honour you have been just pleased to confer upon us. (Hear, hear.) I assure you, gentlemen, it is a source of great gratificaion to me to be classed with those who were employed in the same vine yard with ourselves, and in the same work and labour of love. (Hear. hear.) Ido hope and trust that it may be our earnest endeavour to inculcate on both sides of the Atlantic those principles of our common Christianity which are the essence and spirit of all true religion, and which are calculated to bind us together in the ties of brotherly affection and good fellowship, (Applause). The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Hon. J. R. Walker in a neat and appropriate speech. The Hon. Mr. WALKER, in returning thanks, went into a long series of statistics to show that the United States had progressed far more rapidly under a liberal scale of duties than it had under a restrictive scale; and said the same thing had been the case in England. Ho next contrasted the prosperous state of America at the present moment, with the position of the country under the tariff of 1828. After referring to the notion that if the balance of trade was against a country, that country could not be in a prosperous condition, and endeavouring to show that this was not so in reality, he proceeded to argue that a free-trade policy was conservative in its influence, as exhibited in the greater safety of England, in the superior happiness and contentment of the industrial classes.—(Hear, hear.) He then referred to the commercial greatness and prosperity of Liverpool, and after admitting that several of his countrymen were in favour of protection, yet, like a great English states man, he hoped when they discovered their error, they would have the manliness to avow and correct it. In con nection with a passage in the French President's message, relative to Cuba, he stated that the Americans would not suffer an English or French fleet in the Gulph of Mexico, and expressed his surprise that such a proposition should come from one who might be considered the Gallic Lopez. In conclusion, he said, he apprehended no danger from this, and wished England progressive harmony and prosperity ; that her career might be marked with honour, peace, and glory ; by equity, justice, and good faith. Several other toasts were proposed and responded to, but the very late hour at which the proceedings com menced precludes the possibility of a full report being given. Amongst the notes of apology read, was one from the Earl of Sefton, who is at present on a visit to the Earl of Carlisle, at Castle Howard.

He listened for a few moments, and being satisfied that tome person was in great distress in the upper part of the build ing, he procured a ladder, and gained an entrance into the loft, formerly occupied by Mr. Simpson, the extensive ginger beer and soda water manufacturer.
