Has be :ain an E en accustomed t, ches, also French, Music, and THE NORTHERN TIAIES.---LIVERPOOL I WEDNESDAY. we find the most perfect self condemnation of the new Cabinet and their chief. It is therein stated, that " neither the presence, the authority, the co " operation of the Parliament, nor the use of the h, to the last moment ed with the late Ministry, nor the state of siege maintained or established on the great . temtorial zones, nor the action of military justice " applied by the imperious law of necessity, have " been able hitherto to re-establish political and social discipline, preserve public peace, and con " solidate material order for any length of time:' This was the precise state of things when he joined ESPARTERO'S Government ; and vilt, after a suffi- ciently long retention of place, the address goes on The Government, MADAM, encourages to state the firm hope that, thanks to the means which it pro poses to your Majesty, and to others which it has not now pointed out, owing to the haste in which ' it submits this statement to the high considera " tion of your MAJESTY, it will be able promptly to " attain the object to which its exertions tend, and in " which are summed up the most sacred, the most " imperious, and the most vital of the duties of a " constituted power." There is certainly no want of assurance about this document. O'DONNELL has long had the same means to attain his object that he has now, and how comes it that he has not done what he thought necessary to " re-establish political and social discipline, " preserve public peace, and consolidate material " order." The fact is, the leader of re-action was restrained in his tyranny by ESPARTERO, the old Constitutional hero of Spain, until he had so far worked on the fears and passions of the Court that the Parliament was dissolved, and dispersed by the army, and the whole of the Peninsula plaeed in a state of siege. And what is. the result ? The whole of Spain is in arms, as we predicted in the NORTHERN TIMES of Friday. The streets of Madrid, Saragossa, and Barcelona have been deluged with blood. O'DONNELL'S sanguinary coup cretat, was not directed against any political or dangerous faction, but against all Spain—her people, Parliament, and her nationalities. And a military despotism of the worst order now usurps the place of the Crown and Constitution. The Spaniard will not submit to this. The only fear is that his exasperation will be taken advantage of by the savage NARVAEZ to regain power. Should this merciless tyrant unite with O'DoNNELL, Spain's measure of affliction will indeed be filled. But there is reason to hope that NARVAEZ' will be rejected by his abused country, and that O'DoratEr.r. will be over thrown by the adherents of the Cortes and• the Constitution.. What part the British Cabinet intend to take will probably be disclosed before long. Shou;d they countenance the Court and the O'Donnell Government in the arbitrary course they have adopted, they will incur a serious responsibility, This reactionary cause should be most vehemently denounced, no matter wherever its let] rs first raises its standard. It will fail in Spain, but it may not be before a vast amount of blood has been ntiuent convulsed. The .nd the whole C true policy of ever Government must be to keep the surface of European society smooth. If third or fourth-rate Powers are suffered to break up the peace of surrounding States, we shall soon discover the effect, and the restless and troublesome demagogues of the Peninsula ought to be given to understand that France and England will never acknowledge such base and bloody intrigues as those which have disgraced The military tyranny will be a in tbe t quarter of a centur f the diabo 11 tragedies so often witnessed within the recollection of the prE MONETARY AND " COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING There has been no change in the tone of the Cotton Market,-but a moderate buSiness has been done at Friday's quotations. The sales amount to 7,000 bales, and include 2,000 taken for specula• 'don and export. In Shares there has been a fair amount of busi ness done; and the market has been steady through out, prices closing as follows :—Aberdeen, 14 144• Chester and Birkenhead, 16t- 17.

We have handed to us for publication the follow ing copy of a letter, which will be forwarded to a Melbourne house by the Eagle, which leaves this port on Thursday : Dear Sir,—We find our corporation are negotiating with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company to build large stores on the site of our Borough Gaol, to hold 100,000 or 200,000 bales of wool, and the merchants here seem determined to combine with the Yorkshire houses, for the object of getting the wool here direct. The Man chester and Yorkshire Bankers, with our Liverpool Bankers, will aid to bring the wool here. The Bristol . Houses and Bankers will be invited, and if they do not co-operate, they will suffer, as Sir Richard Vaughan and others did from 1825 to 1829. At that period report says one, two, or three millions were lost by the West of Eng land Houses. The manufacturers there were nearly all ruined. The Bankers here combine with the Manchester and Yorkshire Bankers, and do their business for one eighth per cent., dividing the commission which keeps the Cotton Import here. If your merchants thwart trade to Liverpool they will suffer awfully. The wool trade is good. Prices will be firm for twelve months. Mr. A. Gartside, one of our oldest wool brokers, sold Melbourne wool last week at three shillings per pound, the highest price yet obtained in England. * * « There was no important change in the Liverpool Corn Market to-day. A fair business was done in most articles at full prices. The tone of the Manchester Goods Market to- day was firm, but the amount of business was not large The business on yarns was better than that in goods, and rather better prices were paid. Accounts from Havre report a quiet market for Cotton during the past week, without any variation in prices. The sales of the week consisted of 5,856 bales ; the arrivals.l2,69B ; the stock on hand at the close of the week, 124,637 bales, against 132,105 bales at the corresponding period last year. The quantity imported from the United States amounted to 11,660 bales, against 2,622 bales dur ing the same week in 1855 ; and the number of vessels from America was nine• The Courier du Havre of the 20th inst., reports the shipwreck of the Ducoudie, a French ship from the coast of Africa, laden with palm oil and other kinds of merchandise, on the coast near Bleville. The position of the French wool markets at the close of lasi week was generally quiet, partly occasioned by the number of manufacturers who had proceeded to the wool sales in London. Sales were easily effected when the holders of stock made a reasonable reduction on the high prices which ruled at the commencement of the season, The Joshua, which arrived yesterday from New South Wales, brought 5,0001 in gold. Her advices were not so late as those previously received. The yearly meeting of the Commercial Bank of London took place this day, when a report was read, showing a net profit of 38,9571 15s Gd for the year ending 30th June last. A dividend was declared for the year of 71 per cent, to which the directors now added a bonus of 4/ per cent, making 11 per cent for the year. A balance of 1,175/14s 9d remained to be carried to the reserve fund, which, with the interest for the last year, amounted to 70,821/ 6s 3d. The balance sheet exhibited a total on both sides of the account of 1,944,9821 13s 9d. The report was, after a few observations, adopted nt I unanimously. The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada have issued a notice that they are ready to borrow 100,0001 on their debenture bonds, at 5 per cent. per annum interest. This company has now upwards of 500,0001. invested in the Province of Canada Proprietors of the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company may receive on the 28th inst. a payment of 10s. per share out of the suspense account, in respect of the paid up shares. As much interest attaches to the position of the Riga and Dunaburv, Railway Company, it may be useful if we recapitulate the documents in the possession of the directors in London. These comprise -Ist, an authenticated copy on stamped paper of the ukase of May, 1853, granting the concession of the railway to the committee of the Riga Exchange ; and 2ndly, the convention entered into between the committee of the Riga Exchange and Mr. Robinson, on the part of the company, signed by the various parties to the contract and by the imperial commissioner. This document refers specially to the ukase of 1853 as granting the concession, is dated June 19 (July 1), 1850, and has the seals of the contracting parties and of the imperial commissioner attached to it. The stipulations contained in these docu ments will be embodied in the statutes, which will be laid before the shareholders as soon as com pleted ; but in the meantime the directors observe with reason that to submit the details of the agreement between them and the Riga exchange committee would be impolitic and contrary to the usage in such cases. They also urge that it would be impossible to hand these lengthy documents to every shareholder who may apply to peruse them, especially as it might not tend to the advantage of the shareholders in general were premature publicity to be given to them in the present condition of the company. An article appears in a St. Petersburg paper just received in London, in which the writer refers in terms of satisfaction to the favourable reception given here to the Riga and Dunaburg Railway concession, extols the wisdom of the government in granting a guarantee, and deduces the augury that Russian credit stands as high as ever, despite the late war, This article is con sidered of some importance, owing to the strict surveillance to which the Russian press is con stantly subjected. The English Stock Market continues dull, but the quotations have an upward tendency. The latest prices are quoted at 951 to 95i. In Foreign Stocks this morning, prices have shown a slight decline.

Their tree institutions, founded without any intervention of royalty, had not then received the consecra tion of experience ; their improvised administration awaited the reform - of their organic laws ; opinions were divided by impassioned appeals and jealous influences ; and material influences, suddenly disturb,d, felt alarm for the future. Soon, however, thanks to the good spirit of the country, order and unity appoared in the midst of this tempo rary confusion ;—to doubts and disquietude succeeded confidence and security. Strengthened in the interior by the organisation of its different administrations, and the foundation of a national dynasty, the country ceased to be in a state of fatal isolation, and saw its independence gua ranteed by the most solemn treaties. An intelligent activity was given to works of public utility. The exist ence of an army. strong by intelligence and discipline, was assured. The sources of public prosperity were repaired. Commerce and manufactures were developed with a rapidity almost prodigious, and that old and pre &oils industry of the country, agriculture, followed the movement by prudent ameliorations. Letters, science, and the arts, shone as in the bcst Lys of our history. A trial was, however, still wanting to our nationality : a crisis broke out, profound and universal : but even in that crisis Belgium knew how to find new force, give new 'proofs of her vitality, and acquire new titles to general esteem. I take pleasure in ascribing to the nation itself the honour of a privileged situation which seems to defy the boldness of our hopes. The ancient morality of the Belgian popula tions, their profound sentiment of duty, their good sense, their practical intelligence, their deference for the paternal views of their King— all these qualities united have powerfully contributed to cause them to avoid the dangers of being led away (entrainement), and of exaggerations, and to make them recognise instinctively the true conditions of our poli tical existence. Gentlemen, since 1830, Belgium has been able in moral order, as well as in material order, to accom plish the labour of an entire century. There remains to us a duty to fulfil, to pursue, and to achieve, in the same spirit as that which presided over its commencement, the work of our young and brilliant civilisation. In the past it was union which constituted our strength in the days of the triumph of our nationality; and it was by that, as in days of trial it became revigorated. For the future it is still in union that renders the secret of our prosperity, our grandeur, and our duration. Let us seal anew the alliance between the nation and the dynasty by its choice. Let us strengthen the union of all the members of the great Belgian family in common devotedness to our beautiful country. Let us incline ourselves before Divine Providence, who holds in its hands the destiny of nations, and who, in its impene trable designs has called to itself a beloved Queen, whose absence alone renders incomplete the joys of this memor able day! FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING There is still no telegraphic news from Madrid. The ordinary letters are to the 17th. There is still no certain intelligence as to the whereabouts of Espartero. Several accounts affirm that he is at the English embassy, while others repeat that he is at General Gurrea's house. Contradictory stories are told of his attitude. Some say that he attended the sitting of the Cortes which was dissolved by O'Donnell. It is reported that the mountaineers of Catalonia have risen. The Messager de Bayonne of July 19, says it is not true that Espartero has ever left the house of General Gurrea since he went to reside there. But although he has not put himself at the head of the insurgents, neither has he done anything to put down the insurrection. The Queen showed great presence of mind. She went into the streets twice to encourage the troops by her presence. The Messager gives the following account of the death of Pucheta on the 16th :—" At eleven o'clock the band commanded by Pucheta was in the Place Santa Cruz, where it kept up a smart fire. At one o'clock the same band was fighting hard in the Strade Olive, Jacometrez, and Cebada. At four o'clock, Pucheta, being driven into a corner near the Place Cebada, was recognised by some of the populace and pointed out to the soldiers at the moment when lie was about to escape by the Toledo gate. He was arrested, and taken to the Place Cebada, where he was shot, on the very spot where, two years since, he executed his worthy rival Francisco Chico. His dead body was exposed to the public, and dragged through the streets on a cart. According to another version, Pucheta was discovered near Villaverda, and was shot a few minutes afterwards." The three stories of the Hotel de Villa Hermosa at the corner of the Padre are thoroughly devas tated and the furniture broken to pieces by the firing The Patrie published the following paragraph as to the intentions of Marshal Narvaez, who, as you are aware, has gone to Bayonne :—" If order shall be promptly re-established, he will give up the idea of returning to the Peninsula. But in case the insurrection shall become general, or appear formidable on any particular point, he will send a note to the Queen's govern ment, offerin g his services and those of his friends who share his political opinions. In any case the Marshal will not enter Spain unless his offer shall be accepted." 0 THE SPANISH INSURRECTION A despatch from Paris, dated yesterday morning, makes the following announcement :—Santander made an attempt at a movement, but order has been restored there. Navarre and the north pro vinces are tranquil. It is said that at Saragossa matters are in a fair way of arrangement. The troops entered Logrono without resistance. The National Guard is being disarmed. The correspondent of a cotemporary asserts that among the reunions which have reached him in Paris are the following :—lf the new government in Spain succeeds in maintaining its authority, France will of course not interfere. If the Pro gressites gain the day, and by chance the present Queen is required to abdicate in favour of the Princess of Austria, and Espartero is appointed Regent, still France will not interfere, and will only invade Spain in case the Duchess de Mont pensier be declared next heir, or that a republic should be proclaimed. The following, dated the 17th, is the latest news by letter from Madrid :—" Madrid is calm. The military tribunal is sitting, and is working with energy. Muskets and other arms are being col lected. The disarmament of the National Guard Proceeds with activity; 15,000 muskets have already been collected, and although a certain number is wanting, the aim of the measure is considered as obtained. It is stated by some that Espartero is hidden in the British Embassy. CTovernment has decided on acting generously towards him, and will permit him to withdraw to any spot he may solicit." The folowing proclamation was issued on the 15th by O'Donnell and his colleagues : Inhabitants of Madrid !—The situation in which her Majesty's government with frankness and loyalty, now address you, is certainly a difficult, a solemn, and a critical one. Your conduct has put the government into a painful perplexity. Victims of the evil passions of a handful of audacious men, you have been drawn on to consequences which your own consciences must disapprove ; and the govern ment complying with the imperative duty imposed upon it for the conservation of your interests, your principles. and your liberties, finds itself under the necessity of resorting to means which are not agreeable to the senti ments of its heart. Listen, then, to an austere but friendly voice, which warns you to consider that the judgment, not of a remote posterity, but of the reason and true conscience of this nation, and all Europe will have to pronounce itself immediately between the government and you. It is no puerile ambition, no mean party interest, which obliges the Queen's government to take the attitude of coercion in which you have placed it. The existing ministry accepted this saving commission, because the late cabinet, in the most critical circum stances, had left the nation without protecting support, and had abandoned the Queen, The ministry, confident that it represents public opinion, and that it is adapted to those imperious necessities which late evectshave caused to be so acutely felt, hesitated yet for some hours to shed blood. It was unwilling to come to extremely rigorous measures in the application of force, and it hesitated before it adopted extreme measures, being fearful of adding to the horrors of the evil those of the remedy. Its hope being disapp3inted, or, to speak more truly , being destroyed, it now finds itself cnnpelled to bring into action the ample forces of the army at its discos against an aggression which, though at first merely the frenzy of a minority that was led astray, is now assuming the prvortions of a most unrestrained and subversive revolution. It is not their own cause that the Ministers are defend- ing--that is not the question at issue in this struggle— what is at stake is your freedom ; the contest involves those principles which form the very basis of society, and the interests of your property and your homes. The contest is for your mental improvement, your well being, the lustre of your rank among the nations of Evrope, and surely these are interests and principles more elevated than those which have been contended for in other political conflicts. The blood that will be shed during its continuance, the misfortunes and horrors that may arise, will return upon yourselves, and it is to you that history will impute them. Inhabitants of Madrid ! The great, the in:in - lens e majority of individuals bearing arms in your National Guard know well the actual and the awful truth ; they know that the triumph of the means about to be em ployed by the government is sure. But, in the extraordinary situation in which we find ourselves placed, there is yet another and more terrible truth, which is that the worst calamity of which you could be the victims, and the situation which would hurry you into the lowest abyss, the most bloody anarchy, would be your own triumph: Inhabitants and National Guards of Madrid !—Spare the government this hard conflict ; spare yourselves thi s blood-stained disgrace. Distinguish between and separate the pretences of a few deluded and discontented persons. from the ]awful rights and just liberties, which the government neither can nor will infringe, and has never wished to infringe, and enable us to save the principle of power witbout having recourse to the means of force and to the horrors of blood. Assuredly this solution is easy. Remove from your selves, all of you, those who are our cruel enemies. We do not ask you to combat them, it will be enough that you abandon them. (Signed) LEOPOLD O'DONNELL, NICOME DES PASTOR DIAZ, ANTONIO DE LOS RIOS ROSAS MANUEL CANTERO, JOSE MANUEL COLLADO. Madrid, July 15, At Saragossa on the 15th, immediately after the reception of the news from Madrid, all the military, political, and civil authorities of the pro vince and city, as well as the chiefs of the National Guard, assembled at the palace of the Captain- General of Arragon, and in a sitting presided over by that functionary, voted the following proclama tion : Inhabitants of the province of Saragossa,--A shameful' attack upon the cause of liberty has been committed in the capital of the kingdom. The man, who in 1854 drew the sword in the name of the law, has to-day forcibly taken possession of the government of the nation in contempt of that law. He does not fear to shed the blood of the people, that he may substitute his arbitrary power for the national sovereignty. The city of Saragossa, ever heroic and the firmest ram part of liberty, cannot remain indifferent in the presence of such an attempt; it must'constitute itself in open oppo sition to the ministry with the unshaken resolve not to lay down arms until the liberty of the country is safe. In bringing events and resolutions so grave to veer knowledge, the Junta of Saragossa invites you to rise as one man, to gather round it and hold yourselves ready to' resist the power which seeks to impose upon us, by gra re shot, its absolute will. But the Junta cannot abstain at the same time from recommending you to proceed with the greatest moderation, avoiding all that may compromise the sacred cause you are called upon to defend. Consider the advantage which our enemy would gain from the slightest excess on your part, and the joy with which he would see anarchy glide in amongst us. All this would but give too many opportunities for legitimising his intervention.

GREECE A correspondent writing from Athens under date of the 11th instant, writes :—" I have received a piece of intelligence that I give without vouching for its accuracy. It is that England and France, at the mediation of Austria and Russia, has con sented to the article in the Greek Constitution relative to the faith of the succeßsor to the throne being annulled. The family of Bavaria have thus secured their chances, and already the succession. to the throne has been offered to Prince Louitpold, the eldest brother of Prince Adalbert." INDIA AND CHINA MAILS The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ave, Captain J. S. Field, arrived at South ampton yesterday morning, at seven o'clock.

MEAIORIAL TO THE BRIGADE OF GUARDS.—On Monday afternoon a large meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, the ty of whom belonged to the military profes sion, was hell in the Lecture Theatre of the United Servic Institution, ter maj Whitehall, for the purpose of taking steps for meting some permanent memorial of the officers and men of the Guards who fell in the late war. The Duke of Cam bridge occupied the chair. Resolutions in favour of the erection of the proposed monument, and appointing a committee to obtain subscriptions and otherwise carry out the objet's of the meeting, were moved by Field Marshal the Earl of Strafford, Major-General Lord Rokeby, General Sir Edward Bowater, Colonel Brace, and Sir John Hanbury. (The Earl of Strafford appeared quite blind, and was led into the theatre by General Stanhope.) A vote of thanks having been unanimously passed to the Duke of Cambridge for presiding, his Royal Higness acknowledged the compliment, and said that, however heavy his duties were, he felt it his duty to come there and give his assistance, for no man had been more closely connected with the Guards than he had —(cheers) and whilst he was commander of that brigade he felt prond of the position he held. In speaking of the brigade, he wished to be understood that he made no dis tinction between them and the regiments of the line, for he maintained that throughout the whole struggle the entire army had fought nobly, and had given universal satisfaction. (Cheers.) The meeting then separated. THE DISTURBANCES AT ALDERSHorr.—A. military enquiry was to be held at Aldershott, on Monday, to ascertain the names and regiments of the men to whom the late excesses are to be attributed. On Friday even ing another quarrel arose. By the great exertions of the 41st officers and General Stutterheim, it was fortunately prevented spreading beyond the two or three men among whom it had originated. On that occasion the 41st were drawn up on parade in front of their huts, and the Jagers near them, the men of each corps being kept strictly to their ranks, and all stragglers called in. Some disorderly men of other English regiments, we are informed, got behind the line of the 41st, and flung stones over them at the Jagers. One of these missiles struck General Stutterheim a heavy blow in the back, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he could prevent the Jagers rushing forward to revenge on the spot, this insult to their Commander-in-Chief. General Knollys, who had been to London to see the Com mander-in-Chief with reference to the affrays, returned to Aldershott on Friday night, and shortly after both the Ist and 2nd regiments of Jagers received orders to start at six o'clock the next (Saturday) morning for Colches ter. On Saturday, therefore, both regiments quitted Aldershott, leaving their wounded in hospital to follow when convalescent. On Saturday afternoon :he 18th Royal Irish, the 44th, and 95th regiments, all just returned from the East, were added to the effective strength of the camp. FATAL ACCIDENT.--Yesterday a child named John Warton, four years old, was run over by a lorry, and killed in the street :ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.—Yesterday, a detachment of upwards of 500 soldiers, belonging to the 3rd (Royal BuffB) regiment of foot, under the command of Capt.

THE FETES AT BRUSSELS (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BRUSSELS, JULY 21 The population of Brussels, and all Belgium, will long retain a recollection of this memorable day, the first of the three devoted to the commemo ration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of King Leopold's accession to the throne—and it will ever after occupy no mean place in the annals of this city. Everything has, thus far, passed off admirably well, and the people have manifested the greatest enthusiasm. At eight o'clock in the morning salvoes of artillery, fired alternately by the National Guard and the army, announced the solemnity of the day. At nine o'clock three battalions of infantry headed by three bands, proceeded to occupy the Place St. Joseph—an immense square, not yet entirely covered with buildings at the extremity of the full part of the town. It was in this square that the principal portion of the ceremonies was destined to take place. It was fitted up in grand style, with immense galleries extending round the greatest part of it, and most elegantly decorated with red draperies decked with gold. There was also a splendid altar for the chanting of a Te Deem. From ten to twelve deputations of the National Guard, and army of the provinces, the chief towns of provinces, and the communes ; also the members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Representa tives, the judges, the authorities, and the diplomatic corps, severally arrived in procession, and took their places in the . galleries. All the bishops and high clergy of the kingdom were also assembled there. At twelve the King left the Palace of Laeken, which is a few miles from the city. The King was preceded by a detachment of the National Guard on horseback, by his equerries, by a num ber of officials on horseback, and by two orderly officers. His Majesty was accompanied by his two sons, the Duke de Brabant, and the Count de Flandres (all three on horseback) and was followed by a brilliant staff of aides-decamp, orderly officers, generals, and the superior officers of the army and national guard. The great dignitaries of the Court, and of the households of the Prince and Princess came afterwards, in carriages drawn by six horses, to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess de Brabant, and the Princess Charlotte. The cortege was closed by some court functionaries on horseback, and by a detachment of cavalry. Alto gether it was very imposing. The King entered the city by the gate of Laeken, amidst the thun dering of cannons, and the acclamations of the people, who were assembled in vast crowds. His Majesty was received by the Municipality, who delivered complimentary addresses to him. Semi circular stands were erected, and were filled by ele gantly attired ladies carrying bouquets. The King, having returned a suitable reply to the Munici pality, proceeded along the route which he took on his entrance into Brussels, five and-thirty years ago, to the Place Royale. This route is rather a long one, and some of the streets are very steep and narrow; but there was not a house on the whole line which was not more or less decorated with foliage, escutcheons, bearing the national arms, or the national flag. Triumphal arches, some of them of remarkable elegance, were erected at the Porte de Laeken, in the Montague de la Cour, at the entrance of the Rue Royale, in the Rue Guimard, and at the extremity of the Rue Royale Exterieure. The Place Royale was decorated with triumphal arches, and paintings of the inauguration of the King in 1831 ; the column of the constitution, in the Place du Con gres, was ornamented with flags and garlands; in front of the two chambers were a statue of the constitution and an allegorical group, and a parterre of flowers was constructed round the tree of liberty, in front of the King's palace On arriving at the Place Royale the King was received by the surviving members of the National Congress who called him to the throne, and they accompanied him to the entrance of the Place St. Joseph, where his Majesty found the Presidents of the Chambers and the Ministers waiting to receive him. The King then proceeded to a throne prepared for him, then, after a pause, the national air, La Brabanconne, was executed by several bands This performance was followed by a can tata, composed for the occasion, executed by slme hundreds of vocalists and instrumentalists. The Senate and the Legislative Assembly then pre sented addresses of congratulation to the King; after which, the Minister of the Interior offered his Majesty medals commemorative of the solemnity. The Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, and all the Bishops of Belgium, with a numerous body of the clergy, then proceeded to the altar and chaunted a Te Deem, followed by the Domine salvum Jac regent. After this, the deputations of the army and National Guard filed off before the King. The King and his family, attended by the Ministers, the great, dignitaries of the Court and the State, the mem bers of the two Chambers, the judges, &c., &c., then went on foot to the palace. To describe adequately the enthusiasm with which his Majesty was greeted would be no easy task—it was more hearty, genuine, cordial, long sustained, than anything of the kind I have ever seen on the Continent, and I am no novice in such matters. The people evidently felt that the occa sion was a great national solemnity, and what they did came from the heart. Every where on the line of procession the manifestations were the same, but they were the most hearty of all in the Place St. Joseph Senators, deputies. ministers, national guard, army, judges, vied with each other in shouting " Vive le Roi," again and again ; even the mitred bishops and surpliced clergy clapped their hands, and joined in the cry. The following is the speech of the King in reply to the addresses of the Chambers : MONSIEUR LE PRESIDENT DU SENATE, MONSIEUR LE , PRESIDENT DE LA. CH AMBRE DES REPRESENTATIVES, I am profoundly touched by the noble sentiments which you have just expressed to me in language so affectionate and elevated. I tbiuk I may recall, on this solemn occa sion, a passage of the discourse of the 21st July, 1831 : gg I have only accepted the crown you have offered me with the view of fulfilling a task as noble as it is useful —that of being called to consolidate the institutions of a generous people, and to maintain their independence." The ac • comPlishment of this great mission met with numerous difficulties. The independence of the good people, conquered only as it were the day before, pre- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

THE Towx HALL CLOCK.—This (heretofore) indicator or bow " time gallops withal," has cheated the old gantlem " Father Time," very sadly; for, instead of " atnblinr, the clock has positively " stood still withal," and, so fit• ag the machine is concerned, the hours have not winged their way with pleasure.
