EXETER HALL.—The Sacred Harmonic Society
gave last night Haydn's Oratorio " The Creation," in
the same high style ot excellence that has characterised
the previous performances i f the society under the e.i-
rt ction of Mr. Costa. The band and chorus were as
usual admirable, and the oratorio was never perhaps
more finely rendered. The principal vocalists were—
Miss Birch, Mr. Machin, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Phillips, and
Mtille. do Tre ffz, the latter of whom gained fresh laurels
by her execution of the music alloted to her in the third
part.
LAUNCH Or AN IRON STEAM-SHlP.—Yesterday
morning a large concourse of people` assembled to wit-
ness the launch of a tine steam- boat from the building-
yard of Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson,•and Co., Welling-
ton-street. About seven o'clock, a band of music on
board struck up a lively tune, and immediately atter the
vessel glided majestically into the river, amid the plaudits
of the numerous assemblage. The fl ag, bearing the
name " Prince," was hoisted as soon as she touched the
water. This steamer, which is intended for the conti-
nental and Hull trade, is 340 tons register, and combines
the essentials of a smart appearm.ce with a roomy set
of holds for the stowage of goods; and we may venture
to predict that she will be one of the fastest of the Hull
paddle steamers. The novelty of this vessel is the con-
struction of her decks, w hich, with the exception of the
poop, are entirely of iron, being the only one so con-
structed, we have ever seen. Every possible dispatch
wilt be used to get her ready for sea. She is to be
propelled by engines of 100 horse power.-110 Adver-
tiser ot Friday.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER.—A letter brought by the
French boa from Alexandria, dated Suez, May 8, written
by an officer on board the Haddington, says :—" At six
A.m. of the 25th of April, in lat. 9 53 N., and lon. 64 35
E., we spoke the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Ben-
tinck, with Sir Charles Napier and staff on board, en
route for Calcutta. All well on board."
CHRIST'S lIOSPITAL.—A court is to be holden in
Christ'a Hospital on Friday, the Ist of June, at twelve
o'clock, to receive the resignation of the Worshipful
Richard Rothem Pigeon, Esq., treasurer of the hospital,
and to receive a report from the Committee of Almoners
relative to the dunes of the office of treasurer.
The consecration of the Bishop of Victoria and
the Bishop of Rupert': Land is to take place at Can-
terbury on Whit-Tuesday, at half past tt n o'clock.
• The tenant farmers of South Notts, who were
permitted to eject Lord Lincoln from the representation
of that division, sod return in his place Mr. Hildyard,
are by no means dispo,ed to part with their political
power; and the late election, peaceable though it was,
has convinced the great landlords that nomination in
counties will not be much longer tolerated. Mr. Brom
ley was returned only by a compromise between the
landlords and their tenants. Mr. Burrell, it is said, was
the nominee, and Mr. W. 11. Barrow the farmers' can.
didate. Each party preferred peace to strife; but the
battle will come soon. Game-laws, tithes, a church
which costs six millions a year, and tenant-right, will
soon be struggled for; and it requires not much judgment
to perceive that the party of the people will ultimately
in each case be the victors, especially w hen they are
sided by a large extension of the suffrage and the ballot,
which the conduct of his Grace ot Newcastle and Lard
Exeter has rendered inevitable.—Lincoln Mercury.
A HINT TO FORGETFUL SUBSCRIBERS.—" Father,
what does the printer live on ?" " N hy, child ?" " Be-
cause you said you hadn't paid him for two years, and
you still take the paper."—American Paper.
NICE LEGAL POlNT.—Suppose a fellow who has
nothing marries a gal who ha+ nothing, is her things
his'n, or is his'n been; or is his'n his'n, and her'n her'n?
A nice question to decide that.
A law among the Arabs permits a man to divorce
say of his wives who do not make him good bread.

Alter the cloth bad been removed,

The LORD MAYOR proposed, in succession, the health
of her Mtjeaty, of Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
the Qucen Dowager, and the other branches of the
Ro) at Family.
Thrn followed the toast of " The Army and Navy,"
for which Sir Wm. BURNETT, physician to the navy, re-
turned thanks.

The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose " The health
of her Majesty's Judges." No man had a better oppor-
tunity of seeing the manner in which judges discharged
their duty than the magistrates of the city of London,
being associated with them in the discharge of important
public duties in the principal criminal court of the me-
tropolis. He was haply to see so many of the judges
present, but at the same time he regretted that they had
been deprived, through illness, of the presence of one of
the most illu-trious ornaments of the bench, and who
was at one time closely connected with the city of Lon-
don—he meant Lord Chief Justice Denman.—(Hear,
hear.) Ile begged the meeting to couple with the toast
of the judges the name of a nobleman with whom, as
citizens, they had not much intercourse, but whose
ability and integrity were well known. Ho begged to
propose " Lord Langdale and the Judges."—(Cheers.)
Lord LANGDALE shortly returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the health of
a distinguished Nobleman, for whom he, and he believed
every one present, entertained the highest respect. In
proposing his health he knew not where to begin, where
to stop, or what theme to touch on; for he did not know
how he could do adequate justice to the toast of Lord
Brougham.—(Cheers.) lie might venture to glance at
his early career, when he was considered one of the most
able, the most zealous, and the most successful of Eng-
lish advocates. Jr he ventured to speak of his public
services, it would be only to prove the active part he
had taken in every measure which came before the
country. Lord Brougham handled everything he
touched in the most masterly manner, so that it was
scarcely possible to understAnd how be made himself ac-
quainted with the details of the various subjects. He
could assure the meeting that it was with the utmost
gratification be had the honour of receiving his Lord-
ship at the Mansion-house, and be was very glad he
had this opportunity to propose his health.—(Cheers.)
Lord BnotiGnAm thanked the meeting very heartily
for the manner in which they had received his health.
He was delighted to have bad this opportunity of enjoy-
ing the hospitality of his Lordship, because he had the
high and distinguished houour—which he was disposed tee
place above all uthers—of being hirrisella citizen of London;
and it any thing could add to the gratification he enjoyed
in holding the situation of a citizen of London, it was the
recollection that it was conferred upon him at the same
time that it was conferred upon his Learned and INluble
Fr feud the Lord Chief Justice of England; that it has
at the same time conferred upon them ,both in considera-
tion of their having fearlessly—with what ability he said
not—but iu having fearlessly, manfully, and successfully
—God be praised tor it—discharged iheir duty. towards
a persecuted client, who was attempted to be run down
arid sacrificed to a corrupt and profligate Court.—(Cheers.)
He used this language advisedly, and not for the first
time. He had never swerved from it. He had never re-
sponded to the mention of his name either in this place,
or in any Guildhall, or at any city meeting nor
had the Lord Chief Justice ever answered to his name
without tie making the same avowal—without both of
them nilleteg the seme avowal—that they gloried in the
retells etion that they were not only invested with that
high honour, but that they maintained it at a time which
ai far from favourable to the exercise of such a virtue
against profligacy and corruption. Ile knew that be
was speaking of things in an age when public virtue was
at a low ebb, and when courtiersbip was much moreepre-
velent than patriotism.—(Hear, hear.) Still he did
not think it was his duty to conceal these sentiments at
any time, and least of all in the city of Loudon, which
had been the cradle of the liberties—civil and religious—
of England—the cradle in which, in the glorious revolu-
tion of 1688, liberty was rocked and nursed ; and there-
fore it was that he gloried in belonging to the city of
Loudon, and he gloried in the recollection of that de-
fence which began, or at least consolidated, his connexion
with the city o; London. And now, perhaps, they would
allow him to add—what, however, was of le ssconsequence
—in meeting here so many members of the learned pro-
fession 01 which he bad so long been a member, and for

The LORD-MAYOR returned thanks, and then pro-
posed the health of " The Attorney• General, and the
Har of England." _

The ATTORNEY GENERAL returned thanks, end said
the approbatien of the citizens of this great metropolis
was a great stimulus to the members of the bar to dis-
charge their duties with integ.ity and independence.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed "The health of the
Slumbers of the House of Commons," and ID, gged to
couple with it the name of Mr. Page Wood,
whose
father had hog been an active and a zealous alderman

ot the city ot London.—(Chters.)
Mr. l'AuE WOOD returned thanks, and said among
the many advantages he had derived from his excellent
father, this was not the least, that it bad procured for
him the honour ot having his name associated with the
Meiners of the House of Commons. He was satisfied
that whatever differences of opinion there might exist
in that House, the Members were all actuated.hy a sincere

A Noble Lord begged to ask Lord Lansdowne if any

Briti,,h Government intended to take any steps if the
report of such invasion should prove to be true?—Punch.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—We are happy to learn
