Thu urial loyal and patriotic Umtata having been given and

The LOIID STATOR gave the toast of the evening. He
mid -I have now to propow to you the health of our
honoured guest, Mr. CuLaten. (Cheers.) The City of Lon.
dun his conferred upon him that booour which it only
copiers on great nem who it believes deserve well of
their country. Looking down the list of illustrious
person.. who have before received from the corporation the
saw diemetion, I would my that Mr. Cobden may well be
lineal to see his name enrolled with them. Many of those
perms, we find, have beau honoured with tithe graciously
bestowed by our sovereLen ; and if Mr. Cobdan's name is
not ....domed, it is preisibly because he Is well content in
(reline that the untiring euergire lie has exerted have been
fully rot. gti, crl lo the people, and considered by them as
barite: glumly tended to bring about a state of things which
benefits the whole world. (ellers.) lie is perhaps well
satiefied with feeling that these mazdestatioea of approval
on the pert of his fellowmen spring, u they do, from
the who of the country. They convey, at least to his
mind. en uneenivecal proof of the satiefactien he ham given
to Lis c.untry. I have great pleasure to-sight to see bare
Mr. Cobden as the guest of the City. (Cheers.) It is to
ow, I rarest, a source of great pleasure . • and I offer you
tii • ti.a.t with the greatest posible confidenoe, because I
am sere that the object Which Mr. Cubileu has spent the
greater part of his life in endeavouring to carry out has been
nearly accomplished. That object has been achieved so far
tirat tii•-re la in future nothing left to have any anxiety
iusß .iud I ani sure all will agree with me that it is of the
greatest importance that free trade should have an entire
Abel full accompliahment, and I think we may my we have
arrived at that OetentaniatiOn. I give you the " Health of
Mr. l'obsie." (Loud cheers.)
The toast was eathusisatically responded to.
Mr. Coeure, on rising to respond to the toast, was
weevilly and enthuakietioally cheered. He commenced by
referring to the important services which had been rendered
to the cause of free trade fertyeme years ago by Mr. Tooke,
glanced at the wonderful benefits which have resulted to
leg Land from the adoption of a free commercial policy. Of
the French treaty he soiid—Englitod sought from Priam so
exclusive privilege ; she offered no exclusive advantage to
Prance. that we gave to her we gam at the mine time to
the whole world, and we asked nothing from France but
that which we cheerfully allowed her at the same
time to extend to all mankind. It was in effect two
great countries agreeing to do at the same time for each
other a great good ; to shake hands at the same time, sad
to agree to do that together. (Cheers.) There are, I
believe, 10171. parsecs who are opposed to such a proems.
I Can only say they must he very difficult to plena. I
think it would be very difficult to come to an agreement
with such penises upon any subject whatever, and I
certainly should not like to be shut up with one of
Ibsen ai a juryman in the dog days. (A hiugh.) The treaty
of which we speak will, I have no doubt, if the peace for
which we all pray can be preserved to us for five or ten
years—that treaty will, I have no doubt, have opened
the door to such commerce between these two great
countries as will surpass—as it must, in the nature of
things, do—the commerce existing between any other two
countries iu the world. There are 70,000,u00 of people
nearly in the two countries ; they are side by side with
each other, united rather than divided by a narrow slip
of sea—possessing such diversity of natural endow.'
meets that they seem, of all nations, to be the most
adapted for beneficial converse with each other. And
yet by the perversity of the legislator., for mom*
seven or eight hundred years the governments of the
two countries have been busily espied in thwarting the
designs of Providence, and preventing the enjoyment of
the blessings which they both possemed, and which
they might have greatly enhanced. (Hear, hear.) Some
people have said of the treaty that it bad been entered into
without any coosideratioa of the public opinion of Femme,
and that, therefore, when the ten years for which that
treaty is made, expire, the danger se that the policy sow
adopted in France will he reversed. But I have yet to liars
that in any part of France public opinion is mot in favour of
the government of that country. Os the maker, I beer
that since the treaty wee signed everything hes adiested
that, thanks to the intelligent perception which clone-
tering our neighbours, they are making rapid ptogream still
further in these principles of fres.trade. They have, for
Matinee, since I wasin Paris, abolished their sliding scale,
and the experts and imports of corn are now perfectly free.
(Cheete.) The city of Lyons, whose great heart and
noble inteldigenoe I am glad to see worthily represeMed by
an houourable hired near me, was, by a formal declaration
of opinion, declared inferior of absolute free trade, so few
as regards the artic.es iu which they are interested,
(Cheers.) Lyonsha.d manfully declared that she owes no
superior in the articles they manufacture, and they
ask no protection, and are ready to meet the
world in a fair field and no favour. (Omen.) I
see, therefore, no prospect of the remmal of the principles
which have been adopted by the Emperor's government.
If you ask me if I think other nations will follow in the
footsteps of France and England, I frankly avow
that I em not much concerned about that ,qusetins.
Whatever England and France unite to do, whether
it be a policy of pesos or war, they will assuredly
draw the whole civilised world within the circle of
their infitienee. Any other nation which would attempt
to hold aloof from that policy whichlEngland arid France have
sow frankly embraced, would toil themselves left so far
behind is the race that their self.love, if no other motive
had any Mlle/mem would induce them to follow their exam-
ple. (Cheers.) There is, after all, one great merit which I
see in this new arrangement between the two great coon-
tries—that is the great moral advantage which I hope will
arise from it. Frenchmen coil Englishmen will in future
better know and understeoil each other than they did
formerly. Ignorance is the mother of prejudice,
whether in individuals or in nation,. I ou have
half gained the heart of a man when you have
shown yourself to him. If we go back to the olden time,
we B.athat the 14aoranee of the people when deini;
with unexplored countriek and particularlyticularly with their in-
habitants, has endowed them with many animal appen-
dages, denied them tile nee of one eye, or made many
monstrous inventions. La darker ages many of these
ignorant inventions were applied to our neighbours,
the Frenchmen. There are sone of re who have reamed
fifty years of ace who do not remember that oar neighbours
on the other aide of the Channel were thus endowed with
many by no meat,. attractive I:eddies. W bat liberties were
token with their food and with their dress. 1 remember
that it was very generally supposed that Frenchmen
fed habitually upon very thin soup, and that they I
indulged in a taste for small animals much addicted
to marshy teen, and having somewhat unpleasant voices.
We remem too. how proud we were of investing them with
wooden shoes. Frenchman were not more liberal towards
us. They believed that we sold our wives with a halter
round their necks in Smithfield, and never uttered a amp
teoce without an oath. (A laugh.) We have passed over
these grosser delusion. But nothing has struck me
more derive my ietercourse of eighteen months
with the French people than Obi perfect ignorance
which the people of Enland and France generally have of
each other. The English and Chime, really seem to be
almost as well aceminted with each other as Englishmen
and Frenchmen. I speak, of mune, of the manse of the
people is both countries, and I look forward, therefore, with
tn. greatest satidaetion to the chae we are cow about to
witness, when Englishmen and Frenehmee will womanly be
led in the pursuits of business to mingle with each other,
and every men to know each other better. We have
mutual advantages to pia, of • moral as well as of a ma-
terial character. In conclusion, the hon. member, having
alluded in menplirneetary terms to the presence of M. Om.
water and other French gentlemen, thanked the Lord
Mayor fur having proposed his health, and the company
for the eatimveastie manner in which they had drunk the
tee* sad proposed "The health of the Lady Mayone."
The sett toad was the " House of Lards," to which
Lord TSLIMT Di Mat.amon replied.
The LORD NATOB time gave " The Foreign Guests,"
melded with the same of ll'. Michel Chevalier. (Cheers.)
M. Convex= replied 111 French.
TIM Logo Miro(' thee gave "The HAM of Commons,"
el with the name el Mr. Bright. (Cheered
erd ]lca ire who rem ding was received with loud cheers,
said —ftestlemen, I find that it is nearly twenty-five minutes
peg 11 o'clock. This adds greatly to the diMeulty which I
should have fat at any time on riming npoa an occasion like
this, when limy name has been rime in terms so Batter-
ies by the Lind Mayor. and been received se kindly by them
I adders% I have hoard from some cautious people that it
is net dipsieat after a dines: is this hall to my anything

that can excite iOf bed • party nature. (Hear, I
hear.) An hors.- of mine chews that, evidently ap-
proving of the sentiment. Well, I have • recollection
of au event which happened at not a remote period,
wherein an eminent party leader did make a
speech, I presume in this hall, full of party exulta-
tion, and not devoid of party invective. Now, I
have only, in touching upon that, to say, that it is not my
inteutiou to follow what I hold to be so vicious an ,
ample, and f Khali endeavour to confine myself strictly to
the object of the meeting. (Cheers.) The Loral Mayor has
called us together to Newt him in doing honour to an hon.
friend '1 mine, who has already addressed us to-night. I
have had. as many gentlemen here know, the privilege of
his private frietakhip, and have had the honour to join
in his labour; for more than twenty years past ;
therefore I, of all men, have been able to speak
of the merits which you have applauded tonight,
and which, I may say, have excited the .elniiration and
gratitude of all the best men among his countrymen. But if
I may be allowed to say • thing that may shock some people
—remembering the good cheer which the Lord Mayor has
furnished us with--and however we must all feel fortified
against any singular announcement—l am free to Kay that
my hon. friend is a man who entertains very revolutionary
ideas, that he has the good fortune to live in • revolu-
tionary epoch. The Lord Mayor has referred to twenty
years ago—an excellent title that would be for a political
novel founded upon fact. Twenty years ago, many gentle-
men here will recollect, a small portion of our country-
men who had votes were going to what is called • general
election. They returned a parliament showing a majo-
rity of Oct less than ninety votes in favour of protec-
tion, and especially of protection to agriculture. On
that occasion the late Sir Robert Peel declared, in • speech,
I think delivered at Tamworth, that no amount of fixed
duty would be an adequate protection to English agricul-
tare ; and Lord Derby, if I recollect right, told es that
there was a province of Russia, the name of which few be-
sides himself probably had heard of, which could inundate
this country with corn at a price I am quite sure less than
the cost per quarter of bringing that corn to • Hamden
Well now, all this was sheer delusion, as we now
pert Well
(Hear, bear.) The majority of ninety was simply
a stupidity. The speech of Sir Robert Peel was absurd.
The fails of Lord Derby had no foundation. The whole
thing is gone, and every man who partook of that delu-
siou and joined in those statements would be moat
happy now if not one single word he had ever uttered on
the subject hail been committed to paper and to print.
Well now, I say that during that time we have gone
though a revolution, and my hon. friend has been an emi-
sent leader in that great change. (Cheers.) There is •
great lesson to be learnt in the mode in which that was
Nought about. A few men-1 speak of those who were
moat prominently before the public— my hon. friends Mr.
Cobden, Mr. Charles Villiers—who is now the Presidett of
the Poor-law Board, whose labours in that Aloe have
toms greatly lightened by his labour' as • frestrader
Mr. Milner Gibson, President of the Board of Trade ;
Mr. Lewis Ricardo, the member for Stoke-upon-Trent •
Mr. George Wilson, of Manchester whom
hope and almost believe is one of the guests here
to-eight—laboured in this cause, and I was • worker with
thousand many others, some here, and many out of doors
whom I cannot same. We instructed the nation. (Cheers.)
We converted Sir Robert Peel—no man will deny that—
and if we could not convert Lord Derby, at least we suc-
ceeded in defeating him. (Loud cheers and laughter.) And,
my lord, sa M. Chevalier has said, there was • great battle,
and a great warfare, and although there were no regions
ravaged and no towns racked, and no widows and orphans
made—and though there was no blood upon our weapons
or upon our armour till it was • great fight, and the re-
sult wstantictedcooquest. And of ell the conquest', that
men 'rig for victory have ever mode it had this
great and peculiarity, that when the conquest was
achieved the spoils and the gains were equally divided
between the victors and the vanquished. (Applause.)
Having, then, in these few sentences, described than one re-
volution, what I went to ask, gentlemen, ia this :—Don't
you think it would be wise to get up another! (Hear.) I
think I see one dawning already. If Bregland were asked,
" Who is thy neighbour!" England would answer of
tonne geographically, " Francs my neighbour!" But if
she were asked, " Have Ragland sod Planes headset neigh-
bourly. terms r' Ensiled would b*Wilted to =Mir.
" No. For in the US years which elapsed between the year
1190 and the year 1815. Ragland end Frame upset not
fewer than sixty-five years, or more than half that whole
period in tearing each other to pieces. (Hear.) Now, I will
not go into the causes of those dimeters. We will let by-
gates be bygones, if you like, except for the payment
of the bill, which, I suppose, we cannot escape Hear,
hear.) But this will be admitted, that no pen Eng-
lishman or of Frenchmen has ever yet attempted to describe,
or been able to describe, • millioneth part of the disasters
to the human race that have arisen from these contentions.
(Hear, Hear.) It may be that the recording angel hover-
ing over the scenes of human action—and if I may quote a
metaphor from the great Italian poet,
" Winnowing the air with those eternal glooms,"
may have recorded every single fact of that tremendous and
pitiful story of human suffering and human wrong. (Hess.)
Now let us—if that book has been closed for nearly fifty
beears—let us, if it be poesible, do something to prevent it
ing ever again opened.
The remaining toasts were—" The Lord Mayor," "The
City Magistrates,, ' and "The Lady Mayoras;' end these
having been duly osed and honoured, the company
separated about midniOt.

THE WATTS STATUE AT SOUTHAMPTON.

It has long been a reproach to Southampton that
so monument to Dr. Lew Watts, a native of that town,
has ever been raised there. About two years since a aunt-
ber of gentlemen, amongst whom was the present Bishop of
Rochester, thou rector of a parish church in Southampton,
resolved that this reproach should be removed, and that •
states should be erected. Lord Palmerston, • burgess
of Southampton and • resident in the neighbourhood,
was consulted, and cordially approved of the undertaking,
promised to subscribe liberally towards it, and recommended
for the work Mr. Loom, his neighbour, the modeller of the
Parthenon. in the British Museum, and the sculptor of Dr.
Johnson's statue in Lichfield. Mr. Lucas accordingly re-
ceived the commission, and has produoed • very ad-
mirable work of art. The cost has been nearly 1,0001.
The statue and bamo-relievo round the pedestal
are formed of the finest white Sicilian marble,
sad the pedestal is of polished Aberdeen grey granite. The
whole work stands nearly 20 feet high, the statue itself
bait* eight feet in height. It is erected in the centre of
cue of the beautiful public perks recently formed. On one
side of the pedestal is a marble tablet, bearing the follow-
ing mscription :—".&D. 1861. Erected by voluntary con-
tributions, in reemorr of Isaac Watts, D. D., • native of
Withampton, born 1674, died 1748. An example of the
of a large and liberal mind, wholly devoted to
the promotion of piety, virtue, and literature. A
same honoured for his sacred hymns wherever the
Paglash language extends • especially the friend of children
and of youth, for whose besti welfare be laboured well and
without thought of fame or gain." The statue con-
veys as srprenive likeness, obtained from the most an-
theatic ecierces, sad represents him in the attitude of a
preacher. The whole work hat been elaborated with touch
we, and bears unmistakeable proofs of the sculptor's
[wins. Yesterday, the 187th anniversary of Watta's birth-
day, was tiled for the inauguratios. Lord Palmerston
was expected to be present on the occasion, but
was prevented by the pressure of public business,
and the Earl of Shafteobury undertook to be his sub-
stitute. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a vast procession
was formed on the Southampton Platform, consisting of the
bead of the 2nd Hants Volunteer Rifles, the caters and
corps of the Royal Engineers and civilians engagedp
on the Ordnance survey, the united choirs of the
town, the Sunday-school teachers of all denomina-
tions, the Mayor and corporation of Southampton, the
magistrates of the borough and neighbourhood, and the
clergy and ministers of religion. The Fail of Shaftesbury
had on one sideof him the Rev. Mr. Adkins, • dissipating
minister, and on the other side the Rev. Mark Cooper,
M.A., 'clergyman of the established church, mad was fol-
lowed by the subscribers to the memorial, ,the board
of guardians, mid the committees of the literary
institutions of the town, tic. The procession marched up
the High-street to the statue, about a mile distant, with the
band playing solemn music, and accompanied by some thou-
sands of persons. Most of the shops in the High-street
were closed, houses were adorned with flags, and the
church bells were rung. A large amphitheatre was erected
round the statue for ladies and the principal inhabitants to
viten' the inauguration. Oa the procession arriving in
the park where the statue stands, the whole united
choirs commence! singing Watts's versification of the
117th Psalm, " From all that dwell below the skies," de.
The Earl of SaArrumuar then ordered the statue to be
unveiled, and delivered an oddities in which he eulogised the
character and genius of Watts, spoke of the
universality of
his fame, and treated that the statue would be as in.
ceative to piety and virtue.
On the conclusion of his lordship's Ware's the choirs
sung Watts's patriotic psalm "Shine, mighty God, on
Britain shine."

The Rev. M. Coormt haring offered a dedicatory prayer,
The Rev. Mr. ♦DKINS, 00 behalf of the Watts' Me-
morial Committee, presented the statue to the Mayor on
behalf of the corporation and the town, to be a public
monument.

The choirs then sang the " Hallelujah Chorus," acoom-
pealed by the band, after which • benediction was pm-
nonacid, when the band played " God save the Queen,"
and the procession was reformed, and proceeded down
the town. After the ceremony, the Earl of Shaftesbury
was eseorted by the Mayor to his worship's private re•
.dens. when all the children of the tagged school were
assembled, and were hosted, each being presented with •
copy of Watts's " Divine Sew for Children."
In the evening • soirle wee held at the Royal Victoria
Assembly Rooms, at which the Mayor presided. A number
of speeches were made, and prise poems were recited in
honour of the mat of the day.

LYNCH V. KNIGHT AND WIFE.
This was • writ of error from a judgment of the Court of
Exchequer Chamber in Ireland, affirming a judgment of the
Court of Queen's Bench overruling a demurrer to the
declaration.
The action was brought by the defendants in error to re.
cover damages for oral slander by the plaintiff in error of
the female defendant in error. The plaintiff in error was
the step-brother of the female defendant in error, and the
words alleged to have been used by him wereas follows
" Jane is a notorious liar, and she will do her best to
annoy you, as she takes delight in creating disturbances
wherever she goes, and I advise you not to introduce
her into society. Any singularity of conduct which you
may have observed ID your wife must be attributed
to • Dr. Casserly, of Roemmmon, as she was all but
seduced by him, and I advise you, if Comedy comes
to Dublin not to permit him to enter your place, as
she is • libertine and a blackguard. I have no other object
In view in telling you about her conduct, or in speaking to
you as I have done, but your own welfare. She is an in-
famous wretch, and I am sorry you had the misfortune to
marry her, and if you had asked my advice on the subject
I would have advised you not to have married her." Speak-
ing to a third person of the defendant in error, and his wife,
the plaintiff in error was alleged to have said, " He threat-
ened to shoot me. I told him of his wife's misconduct. It
is all owing to his wife. She bad been insinuating to him
that I bad seduced her. She is a horrid young villain and a
notorious liar. Her brother, one Thomas Jones, is also •
liar, but his liesare of • harmless kind, whereas hers are
of the most dangerous. In fact, she is such a dangerous
character to have in the house that I was obliged to have
the back door in the yard nailed up." The plaintiff, in
the suit averred that from the false, scandalous, and
malicious statement of the defendant, Mr. Knight was at
first led to believe that his wife had been guilty of im-
proper and immoral conduct before her marriage, and that
consequence he had refused to live with her. It was con-
tended that the words complained of were not actionable in
themselves ; that the damage to the wife was caused by the
wrongful act of her husband in refusing to live with her, and
that there was no sufficient ground to sustain the action.
On the other band it was argued that the action was
brought substantially by the wife, and she was entitled to
recover damages for the consequences of the slander to her,
even though her husband had acted wrongfully in turning
her out of her horn*.
Lord Brougham read the judgment of the late Lord
Chancellor tainpbell, which had been communicated to him
before his death, and by which he stated his opinion that
the decision of the court below must be reversed. He (Load
Brougham) concurred in that opinion, that the deadon of
the court below was erroneous.

Lord Ctaoworth and Lord Wensleydale also concurred in
that opinion.
Judgment for the plaintiff Manor.
ITER V. M.DOWELL, OFFICIAL MANAGER OF THE TITPERART

JOIST STOCK SASK. —IN RI TRI STRATI or JAMS

BADLIIR.

This ws an •from the Court of Claneery in Ireland.
These proceeding. arose out of one of the numerous frauds
of John &Mine, and the principal question was whether
Mr. Eyre was entitled to priority under an ineumbranee,
dated the Bth of October, 1855, but not reentered till the
Sib of December, 1859, over a statntable mortgage obtained
by Mr. M'Dowell, as official manager of the Tipperary Joint
Stock Bank against James Sadleir on the 7th of November,
18581 upon certain lands in the county of Waterford. The
details of the transaction were of a most complicated charm-
ter, but the principal facts were that Eyre instructed John
Sadleir to buy the eaten,* in question, which were being
sold through the Incumbereol Estates Court. Sadleir
bought them in lots, and alleged that the best of the lota
was bought for his brother, Janice Sadleir. Eyre being
dissatisfied, told Sadleir to sell the remainder, whereupon
&Mak agreed to take them himself, and gave Eyre a
bill of exchange, accepted bit manager of the Tips=
Bank, for 17,0001., certain al Swedish Railway
which he alleged to be worth ,922/., and the mortgage in
question of the lands, to secure the payment of thine=
chase money. The bill for 17,0001. Mr. M`Dowell
to pay, alleging that the =Dart had no authority to bind
the bank ; and the Swedish Railway shares, alleged by Sad.
leir to be worth 51. each, are only worth Es. . a share.
Various other transactions than took place between the
parties, and ultimately Mr. Eyre applied to the Encum-
bered Hates Court to have his charge on the lands estab-
lished. Ks, however, his incumbrance had not been duly
registered, the commissioners refused the claim. The Court
of Appeal in the Irish Court of Chancery reversed that de-
cision. The official manager then claimed to be a prior
incumbrancer, on the ground that the deed under which he
claimed was registered before that of Mr. Eyre. The Court
of Appeal having decided in Mr. 11 Tiowell's favour, Mr.
Eyre appealed against their judgment. The real question
in dispute is whether priority of registration of a deed in
Ireland gives priority over one of prior date but subsequent
registration.
Lords Cranworth, Wensleydale, and Kinpdown con-
curred in the opinion that the decision of the court below
was erroneous and must be reversed.
Appeal allowed.
COMMITTTEE FOR PRIVILEGES.
THU DONDONALD MIRAGE.

This was a petition by the Earl of Dundonald to her Ma-
stypraying that his succession to the dignities of Earl of
and Lord Cochrane. of Paseley and Oehiltree,
in the peerage of Scotland, may be admitted, and which
had been referred to their lordships bowie. The object of
the petition was that the earl might be allowed to prove
before the house that he maths legitimate son of his father,
the late earl; and • preliminary argument as to whether
such a petition could be received was brought forward by
Mr. Fleming, who appeared for the petitioner.
The Attorney• General and the Lord Advocate, for the
crown, stated that they had no objection to the reception of
the petition.
Mr. Fleming stated that the petitioner was the son rot
marriage which took place between his parents in Scotland,
when there was no registry of marriages ; hie mother was
living, and could prove the fact of the marriage, and thus
that be is the legitimate son, and therefore the successor of
his father. This being the only evidence, unless it was now
received, there might be a difficulty hereafter in proving
the marriage, if any question of its validity should arise.
It having been decided by the house that evidence might
be taken,
Sir Merles Locock was called, and proved that Lady
Duadonald, who is living at Boulogne, was in such a state
of health that she was unfitted to travel to this country for
the purpose of giving evidence.
It was then decided !het a commission should be ap.
pointed to take Lady Dundomild's evidence.
The cane was then adjourned.

HARRIS O. HARRIS AND PAUL.

Hr. Clark moved for a new trial, on the' ground] that the
verdict in this case had been against the evidence, on which
he commented at some length.
Stir C. Creswell, though he agreed that some of the evi-
dence bad bean scarcely trustworthy, did not on the whole
see any grounds for disturbing the verdict. He therefore
refused the application.

In this case, which was a suit for • judicial separation at
the suit of the husband, the jury had found that both par-
ties had been guilty of cruelty, and that each bad condoned
the offeoce of the other.
Dr. 'Tristram now moved for a new trial; but in this
instance also,
Sir C. Cromwell declined to interfere with the decision
of the jury.
