LA PLATA.

The French packet Eraest arrived at Havre oa the
18.11 inst., having left Buenos Ayres May 14th. At
her departure nothing had transpired relating to the
negatiations of the French envoy with the Argentine
government ; the general cpinioa, however, was that
they would lead to nothing.

CRACOW.—A telegraphic message bad been re-
ceived at Hamburg, from Berlin, announeing that a
dreadful fire had broken out on the 18th at Cracow,
which laid waste a great part of the city, and con-
sumed the ArchbAhop's palace, besides other public
baildiags.

Tile Walt AFFRAY AT WOLTAIIIIIMITTON.—The mayor
sod magistrates sat at the public office la Wolverhampton on
Satarday last, to hear, by arrangement, the cross applica-
tions of the parties in this siren, which has already excited
considerable public swaths.
A certain part of the Stour Valley Railway, near the
town of Wolverhampton, is being constructed, by Messrs.
all and Moore, as eontracon under the Stour Valle R
way Company (whom line h now leased to the London
and North Western Railway Company), bat that
this part of the hue being 'included also in
the act of the Shrewsbury sad Etirmieghare Cou-
pes', arrangements have been made by which
ultimately that company will have a ioiat use of it. It sp.
peen, farther, that the works of this contract are sot yet
within several months of completion, but that a certain per-
the' 'south* town of Wolverhampton is to far advanced that
the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, with the acqui-
escence of the contractors and of the Stour 'Valley Company,
have been allowed to commence the use of the line for the
conveyance of passengers from Shrewsbury to Wolver-
hampton. This being the state of the case, the Shrewsbury
Company, desiring also to establish a communication
between the line which (as it is said) they
were so allowed to see, as a neighbouring canal
proceeded without the assent of the contractors, or the
Stour Valley Company to remove the fences of the railway,
and to cut away the elopes of the embackment down to the
level of the canal, for the piques of transferring eerlain
mineral Wank to the canal. This proceeding was resisted as
unlawful by the coutractore. The Shrewsbury Company
amerced, on the other hand, that ultimately the line would
be the joist property of the Stour Valley Company and
themselves, end that, therefore, they had the right to eater
during the contrast, and to remove the slopes and hues as
they thought fit. These supposed rights they proceeded to
went by forcibly removing the fences and slopes. Hence, a
eallision took place a emit ago, which might have led to
very serious consequences. In the meatless an appli mhos
has been made to the Court of Coaseery for an injunction to
try the question of the right to posteriors.
Mr. atiddiestons, on behalf of the contractors; and
Mr. Serjeant Allen tor the Sbnewsbitu company, addressed
the beach at great heath, and it was &teetered on behalf
of Mr. Huddle/tope's clients that they should enter into re-
cognisinces to answer any charge that might be preferred
against them. It •as also arranged that as an order of
the Court of Chancery the question of further interference
with the possesaisa of the contractors was disposed of, there
application to the magistrate for protection should stand

Sold, in Yorkshire, received a short time .Ines a letter hum

sad who stated that he had just arrived at S nrabauptoli

shrewdly sent the letter to Os nal Mr. Tow before be

Bat to return to Mr. George Tow, Mr. Gunter received
another letter from that gentleman, gonipping again about

was at Ssutharaptoa 4i:reeling a couple of Alderney CWII,
one of which was intended ao a present for Mr. G., and that
he was still rather short of cash. Mr. Gunter registered a

(Ethelred cheering) Gentlemen, eau you fall to recognise
the original? I call on all to do fee boaeur:to the toast.. To
those who are engaged in the civilising sad peacefel pursuits
of commerce, I would say you are about to dank to the
health of • Meitner who has upheld the inviolability of
British property and the honour of the British deg in all
Tauten of the globe. I see atoned many who devote them-
selves to the honours i paths of literature sad science ; I call
upon them to drink the health of the somuipliehed orator
and the elegant scholar. Above all, I all upon you, es the
loran of responsible government, and the upholden of con-
stitutional freedom, to join me in drinking suctem to our
hon3urtd guest, she Lord Viscount Palmerston. (Lind
cheering.)
The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. all the
company rising and the. ring vociferouey and repeatedly.
Viscount PALMERSTON on rising wee received with
the moat enthasi•stio tearing—when silence was partially
restored the noble lord spoke as follows:—My lords end
gentlemen : When I think of the honourable and flattering
reception which I have received from you this day ; and
when I think of the terms, far exceeding anything which I
can feel conscious of deserving, in which my hon. sad
gallant friend has been pinged to propose this toast to you,
I am sensible of the truth which you have often heard, that
it is far more easy to fled arguments succeefully to repel
opponents than lends adequately to express cur thanks and
gratitude to our friends. (Loud cheers.) It is said, indeed,
that from the funnel of the heart ton mouth apeaketh ; but
the heart may be too fall to allow the toagne to give proper
utterance to the feelings. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, you have
met here to-day not merely to testify your kind
and friendly feeling towards one individual, but
you have met also, I apprehend, to record by
this public demonstration great and leading prin-
ciples of public policy. (Loud cheers.) I am entitled to
infer, gentlemen, I think, that the principles of policy which
have guided the governmeat of which I have the honour to
be • member—(hear, heart—and the administration of the
foreign relations of this country, have been such, generally
speaking, and in their general tenor, as to be thought de-
serving of your approbation. (Lind cheers.) These prin-
ciples of policy may be described is • few simple words ; the
guiding objects of the policy of her Majesty's government.
in regard to its foreign relations, have been the interest of
Begland—(tremendous applanie)—interests which begin in
the well being of this country, and which in their progress
comprehend the well being of every other country. (Hear,
and loud cheers) In regard to this country, it is needless to
say that It ought to be the first object of them who an '
charged with its foreign relations, to maintain unimpaired
its honour, its dignity, Gad its rights. (Enthusiastic ap-
plause.) It is also their duty to protect our fellow-
subjects in whatever foreign lands they may be. (Loud
cheers.) Gentlemen, we are eminently a travelling, an
inquiring, and a commercial nation. (Hear. hear.) There
is no part of that great ocean that oocuplee se vast a portion
of the globe's surface on whim bosom our skips and our mer-
chandise are sot found to flat. There is no land, however
distant, or however near, however civilised, or however bar
baron, in which Rogiishmen are not found, for the purposes
of evened in, of health, or in the pursuit of science, or of
commerce, or in the nobler and higher vocation of shedding
in the regions of darkness the light of our Christian faith.
(Deafening plaudits.) I contend, sandmen, that those
fellow *objects of ours are entitled, wherever they may be, to
think and to know that they ars under the guardianship of
the watchful eye of their country ; and that the arm of
dagland will either protect them from wrong, or, If wrong
should be done, will be powerful to obtain redress. (Tre-
mendous and prolonged applause.) I have said, gentlemen,
that the interests of Bugling lie not only in our own par-
ticular objects, but in the well-being also of all other nations.
(Rear, hear.) The days are gone by, at load In this country,
In which men thought and nations imagined that their pros-
perity could be promoted by the adversity of Men. (Cheers.)
We glory in our own wealth—we glory in our own happi-
ness, and we glory in our own liberty ; bat we are not de-
sirous to monopolise those blessings, and, so far as oar efforts
can be properly exerted, I think it is the duty of the
goverement of this country to assist other nation in follow-
ing our example, and in eadeavouring at least to obtain •
position similar to that which we ourselves enjoy. (The
company here roes en masts and cheered the noble lord for
several momenta.) I do got mese to say, as those who have
endeavoured to thwart our polny have unfoundedly asserted,
that we ought to g:, like other knight-errant., forcing intl.
tutione in other countries, exciting them to discontent, and
encouraging them to dirurbanee. Saab is not a part of the
duties of the government of England. (Cheers.) But when
we see nations which on endeavouriag in conjunction with
their governments to improve their Institution—when we
see nations neigh!e of the evils under which they are suffer- I
lag endeavi.uring raionally, temperately, and calmly to im-
prove their condition—l say they d-serve at least our sym-
pathy; and if other powers differently Impressed by opinions
should endeavour to in•erfere to p the development of
libe-ty—(cheeno)—my conviction is that the government of
England will always be supported and backed by the people
of England in throwiog our weight into the scale, and en-
Meaning thus to redress the balance. (Loud septettes.) I
am persuaded that that can often be done without endan-
gering the continuance of peace. (Hear. hear.) Da not
magine that we are less sensible than any men in the coun-
try of the value and importance of peace—do not imagine
that we think lightly of the calamities of war—of the inter-
ruptions which wet opposes to every improvement, metal,
political, sad commercial. Do not imagine that we'' is-
sensible to the great reasons which ought to deter the go-
vernment of any country from involving without tinplate
necessity the people with whose destinies they are charged in
the miseries and calamities of war. (Hear, hear.) Bat
don't let the people of this country insigne that every angry
word that may fall from other governments will be imme-
diately followed by blows. (IgAi l *bun and laughter.)
Don't let the ropier of this country believe that every
angry demonstration, every exhibition of dissatisfaction,
diplomatic or otherwise—(leughter)—that easy some
from governments when piney and views may be thwarted
by the views and policy of England, will necessarily
lead to hostilities between yoa and them. (Hear, hear, and
applause.) Anxious as the people of this wuntry are, and
to their humor be it spoken, I believe so other people are
more anxious for the preserved 's' of peace, or more de-
-1 'iron to 'wit w .r with any entrry whatever—believe me,
that so ether country ie a bit mope &Woos, and ler the

of all resew, of gain t. wee with Eftlemd, thin

Lewd JAMB'S STUART then roes to propose the wet
tout, " Lord John Resold and her Majesty's Ministers,"
sad mid that the committee of which he bad the honour to
be a member had done him the honour to pat this toast into
his bands ; sad though be was aware that there were many
penes* who scald de math more juries to it, he would not
dachas the day which bad bees imposed upon him. He
was convisoed that that toast would be well reeelved—nay,
he would say eathmiastically received—by all shades of re-
formers menabled in that roam. (Cheers.)
The Net was drunk amid loud applause.
The ATTORNRY•GRNRRAL, who rose to return
damage, was reedved with load sad paint cheerio,. He
said—My lords aedgentlemea, I meldntles, have beertrall pleased
had it fallea tette lot of some person other than myself to
Man thumb ea the present °maim for the honour con
forted on taie Is common with the rest of her Majesty*"
ministers; and I should have been better pleased had I been
able from standing higher hi the ministerial ranks to speak
serif fully and esafidently as to the principles and wenn-
meets by which their general pally is guided. I consider
it no slight boomer to be called on to retina thanks for her
Kelsey's miniatees ; for from the eatliest moment I out rook
led;, my seatimesta and feelings were in accordance with
those prtheiples of freedom, of progress, sad of liberal hull-
Unions which I believe to have guided and originated every
measure they have brought forward. (Loud cheers.) I feel
it the more rrengly beerath I consider that no small
amount of hoarier is oon'erred on the present coession
on her Majesty's ministers, when an assesaWy like that
which I see arosad me is congregated for the sale purpose of
doing honour to the noble lord who presides over oar foreign
afiain;—(load sheers)—one who so ably carries out, in
every part of the world, those great principles to which I
have already alluded. (Continued cheering) I feel the
more drossy on this subject, because I am convinced that
the toadies principle of that noble lord and his colleagues
has bees, and it to throw the shield of England's power
over every English ethers, no matter what part of the world
be may reside in. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the ge-
neral pregritheive policy of her Majesty's ministers, I cannot
maths with those who all it innovation, and deprecate
every ehance is our ancient institutions as • symptom of net
weakness. I have always held that
the lapse of years, defects have crept into oar institutions, it
is the duty of statesmen to improve, and that the gteatest error
lies in imagining that perfection could exist in any work
of erring humanity. (Cheers.) But, on the other hand,
although the goal of perfection may
human affairs, still they may be always on the road,
and it is, in my °Oases, the duty of every government to
promote such reforms as may still bring is nearer and
nearer to the desired end—(loud cheery—and it is therefore
their vocation to keep a watchful eye over every department
of the state, to repair every breach, and to check every symp-
tom of decay. (Loud and continued cheering.) Gentlemen,
I raters you my sincere thanks on my own behalf, and, vii I
may be permitted to say so, on the pat of those men to
whom so much honour has been done by drinking their
health on the present occasion. (The hon. and learned
gentleman retained his semi amid load and protracted
chatting.)
Sir GRORGE STRICKLAND said he had to propose a
toast which he was gait* safe would be received with the
greatest cordiality. It was, " The peers wk., 'imparted the
foreign policy of the government in the Lords, and Lord Tar
borough." (Loud cheers-)
The toast was warmly responded to.
Lord CAMOYS returned thanks. He expressed his re-
grit that the Earl of Yarborough, to whom the duty of re-
sponding to the toast was originally assigned, bad been pre-
vented from being present by engagements in another part
of the cranny. It would be uatircoming in him to say
much concerning the Houue of Lards; but of the minority
in that house who had supported the Goble lord, he must
declare his conviction that they would always he found
ready to defend the great prir ciplee of civil rod religious
liberty • and as far at possible to enable every Englithman
to feel atilt his rights, hi, liberties, and his property were
ander the protection of the justice, the gallantry, and the
intrepidity of an Reglith minicer. (Load cheers.)
Mr. W. If. JAMES proposed " The members of the
House of COIOIIIOIIB who supported Mr. II iebnek's motion "
He could not doubt that the recent debate would
hereafter be " familiar in their mouths as house-
hold words." Satisfactory as the result was, he
could not but feel that the conduct of the dr
bate was still more satisfactory. There
debate more creditable to the 1102{0 of Commons ; there
was one of which the liberal party in that blues had
es much reason to be proud. The men who took part in that
debate spoke warmly, their cheeks suffused with the flush of
shame, at what he hesitated not to call the craven
resslation of the House of Lords (immense
fig)—their hearts boiling with indignation at that
Isola: combination of intrigue which was directed egaicet
the minister who was singled out toe attach. (Cheers )
He would now propose the health of the 310 members of the
House of Commons who supported Mr. it *back's motion.
The toast was most cordially responded to.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—his lords and gentlemen,
I feel myself highly honoured in being called upon to
respond to the toast of the House of Commons, and I join
most cordially with the noble lord who has just addressed
you in saying thank God we have a House of Commons—
tor it is to the House of Commths, at least to a majority of
the House of Commons, that we owe the fact that we have
at the present moment a liberal goverment at the helm et
affairs in this country, and the assurance that the domestic
and foreign policy mirth has datinguithed that government
will be still maintained notwithstanding all the acts
of insidious adversaries. (I. c-.eirs.) At the same
time when I say that we owe this to the House
ef Commons, let me not do injostios to that
other branch of the legislature, the Hoots of Lords ;
for I believe—and I say it from my deepest conviction—
that whatever may have been the manmuvree of party, or
the political motives which influenced the members of that
house In giving their votes on a recent occasion, I do be-
lieve that if the truth had been made manifest there—if

the- sue ies7ereoidevailopiagfseTti:atidcoMl;atlng the
Itliagainst her Majesty's government, had been /Mil-
as were afterwards made manifest in the Holm of
Commas—the policy of the government would have been
vindicated there, and the verdict of the Hosts of Lords
would have been in their favour. (Hear, hear.) And in
nothing does it appear to me that in, monstrous trickery
of the adversaries of her Majesty's government, and of
the enemies of the noble lord, were more signally displayed
than in the fact that they brought forward their charges
against the government and the noble lord in a plate in
which the noble lord could not be heard in hiedefanor(Cheers.)
If that lucid ezpoStion of facts, if that masterly namely.
°reverse, if that speeca, marked and chars:nettled by all the
dignity of the statesman, by the noblest strains of eirqueoce
that ever characterieed any appeal that was ever deli.ered in
either house of parliament, had been uttered in the Howe
of Lords, I have no doubt that there would have been in
that house a sufficient number of members found even among
the majorito have given their votes in favour of truth and
justice. (Loud cheers )I do not believe that, at
this midnight hour, I should be justified in trespassing
longer upon your attention; I shall, therefore, merely say,
that I am deeply obliged for your kindlier'. and I feel that
the best return I can make will be to mak, the most brief
but emphatic etknowledgesents. (Cheers.) 1
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL proposed " Civil and re.
ligiesta liberty all over the world." He cotes' not but
