MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Livery oaf yesterday were esti-
mated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bale', and comprised about
5,500 American at 3id. to 61. d., 100 Bahia at sd. to 5t,1,,
200 Egyptian at 51d. to 61d., and 300 Surats at 34d. to
3id. per lb. The market closed fii mly.—The market
for Railway Shares closed heavily.
Accounts from Now York of the Bth inst. have been
received by private ship. The Money Market was
easier, and the exchange on England was 10.54 to 1064.
Boston advices of the 7th notice no alteration in the
exchange, but a rise seems to be expected. Breadstuffs
had a downward tendency.
The Hibernia steamer, to leave next Saturday, will
take out about 200,000/. in specie. Altogether between
Boo,oaol. and 600,0001. have been shipped from Liverpool.
Sydney accounts of the 9th of January, by a direct
arrival, state, that the sales of the property of the Bank
of Australia engrossed great attention, and that the Cali-
fornia gold discoveries had also caused much excitement.
Shipments of goods were being made to San Francisco
and passengers were also going. General business was
dull. The Van Diemen's Land papers of Jan.
17, allude to the continued dissatisfaction felt at
the arrival out of so many convicts, and as far
as we can judge there was a superabundance of
labour in many of the large towns of Australia, although
employment could be fouad in the interior. The
Molong Mining Company in New South Wales exhi-
bited indications of a good deal of mineral wealth,
though not much was procured.
The advices received from the continent are still un-
promising in reference to the Danish affair, and in Ger-
many matters were unsettled, owing to the procrastinat-
ing policy of the King of Prussia. The late affair at
Pesch between the Austrians and Hungarians is said not
to have been decisive.
The prospects of the Mexican bondholders appear by
the advices received yesterday to have very sensibly im-
proved, and thanks to the exertions of Messrs. Manning
and Mackintosh, the agents in Mexico of the London
Committee, aided by the perseverance and talent of Mr.
Parish Robertson, there is every reason to conclude
that the Republic will do ample justice to its foreign
creditors, and perhaps even succeed in effecting
a permanent arrangement of the arrears of
interest, and in paying dividends ere long
upon the whole. The arrears may possibly be con-
verted into a Three per Cent. security. As to
the productiveness of the Customs' revenue, we find
already that the 350,000 dollars advanced by an ar-
rangement with Messrs. Baring, and paid in Lon-
don, have been made good, and that a re-
sumption of remittances may be almost immediately
expected. On the other hand, the duties on silver are
becoming available, and although only 1,200 dollars
came by the steamer, and not 65,000, as reported
yesterday, it is the beginning of what may be a
considerable annual remittance. Mr. Robinson
states that he has been excellently received
by the Mexican Government, and that part of the
indemnity money will probably be applied to an ar-
rangement of the debt, as well as to the establishment
of a National Bank, from which such important results
are expected.
As there are so many contradictory reports circulated
concerning the position of the Eastern Counties Rail-
way, we believe we may confidently state that
the report of the committee which will be
issued this evening, recommends no dividend
to be paid for the past half-year, although
3s. or 4s. may have been earned, if no allowance is to be
made for wear and tear. There are, however, carriages,
engines, &c., to be replaced, and as funds are
wanting and cannot perhaps be readily borrowed, the
revenue it is considered, must supply the requisite sum.
The line, as Mr. Hudson has stated, is most expensive
to manage, and it is extremely difficult to say how it
can be worked cheaper, while the Great Northern will
prove a formidable rival, and must be met by the con-
struction of one or tv, o small branches, involving ne-
cessarily the raising, by loan or new shares,
of some additional capital. It is to be hoped this
amount will not be large, for the prospects of the share-
holders, with so many guarantees to pay, and the bonus
capital created years since, and before Mr. Hudson
joined, are sufficiently bad without fresh incum-
brances. Many doubt, if money be not borrowed,
whether, even in the current half-year, a
dividend can fairly be paid, but, perhaps, some arrange-
ment may be made to pay something as a relief to the
more needy holders.
The Funds have been rather flatter this morning,
with business as dull as eve:. Consals have been 91'
to 92, and are now 92 to 11-. The New Three-and-a!
Quarter per Cents. have realised 911 to 91. Bank
Stock is 1924 to 1931, and India Stock 243. Exche-
quer-bills have been at 455. to 48s. premium.
Mexican Bonds are very buoyant still, being 314 to 32.
Venezuela have realised 251, Spanish Three per Cents.
have been marked 251, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
281 Dutch Four per Cents. are 71
In Shares there is not a great deal doing. Caledonian,
Bristol and Exeter, and Eastern Counties are rather
better. Great Northern Midland, South-Eastern and
York and North Midland are lower. North-Western
and Brighton much the same.

After die cloth was removed,
The Louts Mavon rose and said—My Lords and Gentle-
men, surrounded as I have the honour to be on this occasion
by the Ministers of the Crown, and by somany distinguished
men connected with our Gracious Sovereign, and being ho-
noured also with the presence of a Noble Lady who hot is a
high place near the person of her gracious Majesty, it is a
source of much satisfaction to me to propose "The health of
her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria."—(Cheers.)
The citizens of London have always been distinguished for
their loyalty to the Sovereign, and while we are sensible of
the many blessings we enjoy under her constitutional reign,
we venture to hope that it will be gratifying to our gracious
Sovereign to see that, amidst the many changes which have
taken place elsewhere, the loyalty and affection of the peo-
ple of this country have remained unshaken, and that
they are glad of every opportunity to demonstrate their at-
tachment to the Crown and the constitution of the land.
The people of this country also see that her gracious Ma •
testy, in her high station, feels anxious to set an example of
every domestic virtue which can adorn her exalted position.
—(Cheers.) lam sure, nay Lords and Gentlemen, that you
will all join in the ardent wish that her most gracious Ma-
jesty the Queen may long reign in the affections of a happy,
and loyal, and a prosperous people. I give you "The health
of her most gracious Majesty the Queen," with three times
three.
The toast was drunk with loud cheers.

The LORD MAron thea proposed The health of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager."
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and
the other branches of the Royal Family." He wished he
had the eloquence of his Noble Friend the Noble Earl at the
head of the Woods and Forests, to describe to them the en-
thusiasm with which his Royal Highness was received this
day week, on a great public occasion, in a distant part of the
country, and he trusted his Roy:1 Highness would continue
to take an interest in every great pubrc undertaking in
this country.—(Cheers.) Ile concluded by propos►ng the
toast.

The LORD MAYOR had great satisfaction in proposing
" The Army and Navy of England." In no part of her
Majesty's dominions were the services of the army and navy
more highly appreciated than in the city of London, and
though in these times of pressure they were anxious to see
stra,rs conducted with economy, vet he was rare the citizens
of Londo. would be the last to see the efficie,,cy of the services
crippled by any niggardly retrenchm nts. He was gratified
to see the appointment o► the Right Honourable Gentleman
Sir F. Baring to the head cf the Admiralty, satisfied as he
was that that Right Honourable Gentleman would ad-
minister its affairs with economy, and yet with efficiency.
Ile was glad to see so many officers of the navy present, and
he begged now to drink the healths of the army and navy,
coupled with the names of General \Yemyss and Sir F.
Baring.—(Applause.)
General WEmvss said it was an unexpected honour on his
part that he should be called upon to return thanks for the
British army. It must he gratifying to every British soldier
to feel that the late efforts of the British army claimed, not
only from his Lordship but from the country at large, the
gratitude which was lately bestowed upon it by both Houses
of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He felt from the bottom of
his heart the greatest satisfaction in knowing that that gal-
lant and unflinching officer (Lord Gough) had added by his
conduct fresh laurels to the British army, and had obtained
the favour of his Sovereign and the gratitude of his country,
not only for himself, but for the officers and soldiers that
were under his command. Would they permit him now to
digress for a little from the duties of a soldier, to claim for
himself the privileges of a citizen, that be might congratulate
the Lord Mayor on the peaceful and social condition of this
great mercantile city, and to assure hint that the British
army fervently wished that the Crown of England, which her
Majesty wore, the sceptre which she wielded, might never
require to be defended with bayonets or with cannon, but that
her Majesty might long reign in the hearts of a loyal and
affectionate and a prosperous people 1 He again thanked
them for the high honour conferred upo❑ the
British army, and wished that his Lordship and the
other members of the Corporation might long enjoy the
greatest prosperity.— (Cheers.)
Sir F. BARING returned thanks on the part of the navy
for compliments which had been paid to that branch of the
service, not only now, but en all other occasions by the city
of London. He could not forget that in addressing the Lord
Mayor he was speaking to one whose early recollections
were connected with the naval service, and from him, there-
fore, he would always expect a kindly feeling towards the
navy. But he could not either forget that the city of Lon-
don had always been among the foremost to honour the ser-
vices of the navy, that on all occasions it had hastened to
pay its tribute of admiration to those who distinguished
thetnselves in the service, and that it included in the roll of
its citizens some of the gretest heroes in the naval history of
our country.—(Cheers.) He again thanked them on behalf
of the naval service for the compliment which had been paid
to them.

Tile LORD MAYoa then said he was particularly anxious,
on the part of the city of London, to give a cordial welcome
to the distinguished foreign Ministers who had honoured
them with their company on this occasion. He regretted
that indispo ition had deprived them of the presence of the
Prussian Minister, and of one or two others. But he had the

gratification of seeing here the Russian Minister on his way
to Lisbon, and the Portuguese Minister on his way to Berlin,
and he could assure those distinguished men that the city of
London was always gratified when they were pleased to
honour the Chief Magistrate with their company in this ball.
He was anxious, on the present occasion, to give a cordial
welcome to the distinguished representatives of foreign
powers who had recently come into this country—he meant
his Excellency the French Ambassador and his Excellency
the Turkish Minister.— (Cheers.) He was gratified to see the
way in which the names of these ambassadors were received
in the hall, and he could assure his Excellency the French
Ambassador that he hailed his presence in this company with
the kindest and most auspicious feelings.—(Cheers.) They
had reason to believe that his Excellency the French Am- '
bassador, having had frequent intercourse with British offi-
cers, had become attached to the institutions of this country,
and he would venture to hope that his coming here in his
character as Ambassador was a proof of the kindly feeling
which existed between France and this country.—(Cheers.)
They felt grateful for the friendly intercourse which existed
between the two countries; and though it would be improper
in him at any time—and more especially at the present time
—to refer to the disturbances that existed elsewhere, he
trusted he might be permitted to say that the general feel-
ing of this country was in favour of the cordial unity now
existing between the two nations of France and England—
(Cheers)—not with a view that they should em-
ploy their unit( d power to interfere in the affairs of
other nations, but that by a temperate and discreet use
of their influence they might prevent the calamities of war,
and promote the happiness of mankind, and thus pro-
mote the peace of the world. He trusted his Excellency
would find that whatever changes might take place in other
parts of Europe with reference to their governments, that
in this country those changes would only tend to unite all
classes more closely in the bonds of affection and loyalty to
our most gracious Queen. Whatever changes of government
might be desired in other countries, here the people were
satisfied with the conslitution, and jelled a cheerful obedi-
ence to the law. \V hatever disaffection there might bt in
other states, here the people were pursuing their peaceful
avocations, and breathing anxious wishes for the peace of the
world. He trusted that under the able and experienced
guidance of the Noble Lord who conducted the foreign affairs
of this county'—and conducted them successfully too,

The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The healths of the
gu6s de l'Angleterre, sans
two distinguished dignitaries of the Church—the Archbishop
of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York. whose exertions
on behalf of the charities of the City had often been die-
played. He rejoiced that he was honoured to-day, he be-
lieved for the first time in the City, with the presence both
of the Archbishop of Canterbury and of the Archbishop of
York; and he begged flaw to propose " The Clergy of the
Chureli of England, coupled with the names of these dis-
tinguished prelates."—(Cheers.)
The AwArrasnor sail—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,
in the name of the clergy, I beg to thank you for the hen ur
which you have done them, and in my own name I beg
to thank you for the way in which you have spoken of me,
and of those services which it was not less my inclination
than my bounden duty to perform. Allow me to say, my
Lord Mayor, that in inviting to your hospitable board the
dignitaries of the Church with the dignitaries of the State,
you have acted upon the broad principles of the ancient
constitution of the country, which united the dignitaries of
the Church and the State together in harmonious co-opera-
tion. The connexion I believe to be a most important one
for the prosperity of this country, that they should act toge-
ther not in the spirit of rivalry or competition, but that each
should strive which can best promote, ietheir respective
spheres, the prosperity of the country— (Cheers.)
The LORD 111avon then said—His Grace the Archbishop
of Canterbury had jest told them that it had long been the
custom for the Government of this country to honour the
chief magistrate with their presence in this hall, and he felt
particularly gratified to see on the present occasion so many
of her Majesty's Cabinet. He regretted that severe family
affliction had kept away one of the members of the Cabinet,
otherwise he should have been in the happy and proud
position of being honoured to entertain the entire Cabinet of
England. He was anxious to pay a mark of respect to the
Noble Lord at the head of the Government—(Cheers)—not
merely as the Prime Minister of England. but as one of
the representatives of the city of London—(Renewed cheers)
—and although the feelings of attachment which he bore to
his Lordship and the Government were well known, yet it
was his anxious wish, on the present occasion, to state
nothing which the citizens of London could not concur in.
He was aware that everything like party politics or party
feeling were wisely and properly excluded from such
entertainments as the present ; but looking to the difficulties
which beset the path of the present Government, he trusted
he might be pardoned for looking back to the claims they
had on public support and approbation. It would not be
forgotten that at the very moment when the present Govern.
ment came into office they had to contend against the mis-
fortune of a famine in Ireland, followed by considerable
disaffection in that country. In the following year the
commercial interests of the country, and especially of
this great metropolis, were nearly prostrate, and during
the past year mighty convulsions had shaken almost
every state in Europe, except this happy land. The
Noble Lord and her Majesty's Government had succeeded
in steering the vessel of the State safely and honourably
through these peculiar dangers, and the citizens of
London would be wanting in those acknowledgments which
were due to the Government of this country if they did not
thank them for the past, and put confidence in them for the
future.—(Cheers.) He was unwilling to enter mere particu-
larly into their claims, because he feared that his feelings of
partiality would lead him to say more on this occasion than
it might be proper for him to do, considering the position
which he had the homier to hold; but his feeble language
was inadequate to describe the gratifying spectacle which
the Noble Lord and his Government witnessed on this occa-
sion, surrounded as they were by the dignitaries of the
Church and of Parliament, by the highest rank in the coun-
try, and by the beauty of the land, who had come here not
to do honour to the Lord Mayor of London, but to *vireo
their admiration and to show their appreciation of the
claims which the Government had upon the support of
the country. He trusted that the Noble Lord would
long be spared in health to devote his energies to the ser-
vices of his Sovereign and the country; but if circumstances
should arise to induce the Noble Lord to retire into pri-
vate life, the citizens of Loudon would recollect with
pride and satisfaction that they had the honour to have for
their representative in the Commons House of Parliament
one of the greatest statesmen of the present day; and the
country would not forget, but would remember with grati-
tude, the many great and glorious measures with which the
name of Lord John Russell would be for ever associated. He
begged to propose " The health of Lord John Russell and
her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.)
Lord J. Rc'sseu-h—l rise, in the name of my colleagues as
well as of my own, to return our most grateful thanks for
the honour vou have done us in drinking our healths on this
occasion. In so doing I recollect that I have not only the
honour to be a Minister of the Crown, but that I am likewise
in your service, as I have the honour to represent you in the
Commons House of Parliament. But you have referred, in
a manner for which I was totally unprepared, and for which
I cannot sufficiently thank you, to the mode in which the
duties of a Minister of the Crown have been discharged
during times which no one will deny to have been times of
considerable difficulty. Whatever may have been the 'uc-
cess of our endeavours with respect to some of those diffi-
culties, and whatever hereafter may be our success with
respect to otheys which are not yet overcome,
is not to us, but that, next to the Providence of Almighty
God, it is to the institutions of this country, and to the
I feel that it
temper or spirit of the people of this country, that you
owe the success which has hitherto attended our efforts.
Your Lordship has referred to the difficulties of the past
year and to the convulsions which then took place. It is
true that great responsibility was imposed upon us, though
it is also true that vast means were placed at our disposal.
But those who observed this events of the past year must
have seen that mere authority was broken, and that arms
placed in the hands of even the bravest men fell powerless,
at least for a time, before the popular will. It would have
been madness, therefore, in us to have rested our reli•
ance solely on these sueports ; but we did rest
our reliance on the - arm of the constitution—on
that union aid co-operation among the different
classes of the country, wlieh have hitherto formed, and
which, I trust, will continue to form her strength. We
knew that if we have a monarchy, we enjoy the blessings
which a monarchy dispenses—we knew that if we have an
Established Church, the name of the Established Church is
connected with the dispensation of those religious and spi-
ritual comforts which it administers—we knew that if we
have the law on our side, we have the sense of the people of
t his country that the law is fairly and equally administered
by learned and upright men. Under these circumstances, and
knowing that the feeling f the ccuntry was, that anychange
would be a change for the worse and not for the better, it was
upon this feeling that we placed our reliance, and not upon
any authority which we could exert, however necessary it
might be to exert authority to meet particular exigencies. In
the course of that period we had to consider also the dangers
that might meet us from abroad; but we had the satisfaction
of finding that the nations of Europe generally remained in
close alliance with this country, and that we received assist-
ance from most of them in keeping the peace of Europe;
and more especially did we receive that assistance from an
alliance with that country which we most counted upon.
The alliance between France and this country has, in our
opinion, been most instrumental in preserving peace; and I
believe that the excellent understanding which prevails be-
tween the two Governments is only a symptom and a con-
firmation of the friendship that exists between the two
nations.—(Loud cheers.) In addressing you on this occa-
sion, I may take the liberty to say, that we thought our-
selves bound, also, not only to keep in mind the excellence
of the institutions which ice have preserved, but also the
fact that these institutions could not be preserved if we at-
tempted to guard them with superstitious veneration, and
did not adapt them, in time, to the changes that are continu-
ally going on in this country. The fairest and most beautiful
of temples, if it be neglected, will be subject to decay, and
requires con!inual care and supervision. Let us endeavour, in
any alterations which we may find it necessary to make—let it
be our care to make those alterations in the same spirit in
which those institutions were originally founded—in the
spirit in which the great and wise men who founded them
would have altered them, if they had had the circumstances
of our day before them. Let us not endeavour by any new at-
tempt of our own to make some fanciful and unreal construc-
tion, which appears to us to be better that the British con-
stitution, as a substitute fur those institutions which now
exist.—(Cheers.) But let us not,on the other hand, imagine
that by preserving that which is defective we shall be the
more able to maintain the best of theta.—(Cheers.)
not sit down without adverting to the auspicious circum
stances under which we have assembled together.

be engaged—the same firmness, the same indomitable coin

ifficulties. With this belief and conviction, I cannot claim
for myself and my colleagues any undue credit for any good
success which may have attended our efforts; but I do ex-
press my firmest reliance on the fate and the fortunes of this
mighty empire.—(Hear, hear.)
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Duke of Norfolk
and the House of Peers," for which the Duke of Norfolk re-
turned thanks.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed " The health of the Lord
Mayor," for which his Lordship shortly returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then said they were honoured with the
presence of three dignitaries of the law—the Lord Chancellor,
Chief Justice Wilde, and Chief Baron Pollock. He begged
to propose " The Lord Chancellor and the Judges of Eng-
land," observing that the citizens of London, from their ex-
perience of the manner in which justice was administered at
the Central Criminal Court, were fully satisfied that the
bench was never more adorned with learning and integrity
than in the present day.— (Cheers.)
The LORD CIIANCELLOR—I beg leave to return my best
thanks for the honour done me and my honourable friends
the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and the Chief Baron
of the Exchequer; and I beg to thank the Lord Mayor for

feel happy in the choice they had made. I am now gratified
to find that that anticipation has been amply realised, and
that my prophecy has been fulfilled, for the high duties of
the chief magistrate, grave and impoitant as they are, could
not have fallen into abler fiends or been executed with more
care and zeal than by your Lordship.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR said he wished he could find language
to express the respect which he felt for the Right Hon.
Gentleman
now been for twelve years an humble and a silent Member
of the House of the Commons, but he could not fail
to mark the high respect and esteem •
in which
the Right Honourable Gentleman was held who presided
over the deliberations of that House.—(Loud cheers.)
He knew when he rose to propose Mr. Speaker's health to
this company, containing so may distinguished men who had
daily opportunities of witnessing his great talents and expe-
rience, as well as his kindness and courtesy, that it was un-
necessary for him to make any apology for his inability to do
justice to the toast. He could assure the Right Honourable
Gentleman that he had long and highly esteetned him for

his public character, as well as for his kind courtesy to dif-
fident Members like himself, and to young Members, who
were deficient in experience. When the Right Honourable
Gentleman retired from his high office, he would, in the words
of the Prime Minister when he was last elected to his present
position—he would leave behind him the recollection of being
the ablest, the most courteous, and the most diligent Speaker
the House of Commons ever had.—(Cheers.)
The Right lion. the SPEAKER said—l feel greatly in-
debted to your Lordship for the kind manner in which you
have introduced my name to the notice of this assembly,
and for the too partial notice which you have taken of my
services in the chair of the House of Commons. The expe-
rience of ten years in that position has satisfied me that un-
less I had met with the support of all parties in the House,
my efforts to discharge my duties would have been alto-
gether unavailing. But I have received from all parties the
most generous and cordial support—a support for which I
desire to take this opportunity of expressing my sincere and
heart-felt gratitude, and to express the hope that I may not
prove myself unworthy of it.—(Cheers.)
The EOM) MAYOR said he had the honour to see present
many distinguished Members of the House of Commons;
and he was anxious to take this opportunity of paying
respect to the Noble Viscount who had long been a Mem-
ber of the House, and who had long been at
the head of Foreign affairs in this country. The
Noble Viscount was well known as one of the most eloquent
Members of the House of Commons; and those gentlemen
who had the advantage of hearing him on the first or
second night of the present session would remember with
great satisfaction the triumphant manner in which
the Noble Lord vindicated the administration of the
Foreign affairs of this country. He could assure the Noble
Viscount, whatever party 'feeling might allege, that the
people of this country reposed with the utmost confidence on
his judgment, experience, and temper, for preserving friendly
relations with this country and all the states of Christendom.
They were anxiously desirous to cultivate friendly relations
with all the continental states; but they were confident that
in doing so the Noble Viscount would cot forfeit the honour
and the dignity of this great empire. He was happy to have
this opportunity of expressing the confidence which the
citizens Of London had in the Noble Viscount, and he begged
to propose his health in connexion with the House of Com-
mons.— (Cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON—I beg, in my own name and on behalf of
that great and distinguished assembly with which you have
done me the high honour to couple my name, to return you my
best thanks for the honour you have done us in drinking
our healths. I feel that lam unworthy of the honour which
has been done me in calling upon me to return thanks to you
and this distinguished company in the name of the House of
Commons. It is indeed natural, my Lord, that in this hall
the House of Commons should receive the honour which you
have proposed to this company to confer upon it; for the
House of Commons and the city of London have been to-
gether the great defence and the mainstay of the liberties of
this country—(Cheers)—and the House of Commons can
never forget that in the darkest period of the political
history of this country, the liberties of England found
their safest refuge and protection within the precincts of
this great metropolis. The city of London, in the worst
periods of our history, has ever stood forth as the fore-
mcst and stoutest defender of the constitutional freedom of
England.— (Loud cheers.) You have been pleased,
my Lord, to refer to the arduous duties which, in my official
capacity, it has fallen to my lot to perform. I can assure
your Lordship that you have truly understood the manner
in which I consider those duties ought to be performed. I
believe that it is the wish and the desire of the people of
England that those who have the charge of conducting her
foreign relations should, on the one hand, maintain the
honour and assert the dignity and the rights of this country;
and that we should, on the ether band, exert our best en-
deavours, not only to continue to this country the blessings
of peace, but, as far as the influence and moral exertions of
this country can extend, that we should endeavour to secure
the same blessings to the rest of the civilized world.—(Great
cheering.) It has been our endeavour during a very diffi-
cult period—which, I was going to say, had now passed,
but which, I fear, still unfortunately exists—to act
up to these principles; and in the endeavours we have made
we have, as you justly observed, had the happiness to main-
tain a good understanding, through a frank and cordial ex-
planation of our opinions, with our great neighbour on the
Continent—a country which is so worthily represented by
the gallant Admiral who sits at your right hand; and I am
happy to have this opportunity to state that whatever
changes may have taken place in France during the last
year, the public men who had administered the Government
of France have met us invariably by a system of friendly
cordiality, in frankness and good faith ; and by the aid of
their support we have achieved, in some degree, our desire,
either by averting hostilities for a time, or by mitigating
their virulence when they burst out. I beg again, my Lord,
to thank you for the honour paid me on this occasion.—
(Cheers.)

W. Somerville and the Government of Ireland," "The At-

THE CIT Y COMMISSIONERS OF

SEWERS.

Yesterday a meeting of the Commissioners of
Sewers took place at Guildhall; Mr. Deputy Peacock
in the chair.
Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy LAKE, who com-
plained that the carriage-way of Leadenhall•street,
although lately repaired, was in a very bad condition,
the water occasionally breaking into it, a view was
ordered to be taken of the locality, in order to ascer-
tain whether some permanent measure for improving
it cannot be adopted.
Upon the motion of Mr. BLAKE, a list was ordered
to be kept, for the information of the members of the
commission, of the names of those inhabitants who
complied with the directions of the Court as to the
drainage, a species of knowledge not yet attained in
consequence of the ab!ence of system.
