LOWER RHINE, JULY 11.—Grtmt pains are
taken in Brussels to produce good and solid arguments for a modifiea-
tion of the pecuniary arrang,me,.ts, as the only one in which it can be
hoped for, but to which, indeed, the consent of Holland must be ob.
taim d. England, which will have one of the most influential votes in
the matter, is in a very peculiar dilemma. While it imports from
France to the value of 50,000,000 f. more than it exports to that coun-
try, the proportion in respect to Belgiwn is just the reverse, so that it
gains from Belgium what is loses to France, and therefore n ust favour
the former country. On the other side, a great portion of the Dutch
debt is in English hands, and it. Holland should declare that it does not
receive from Belgium the required share of the debt, it must stop pay-
ment, and England would be the principal loser. It will doubtless cost
the Conference great and protracted labour to find a compromise to
which all parties can agree,—Allgemcine Zeitung.__ _ _ _

An unfortunate youth, named Patt Kealey, who had
been much addicted to drinking, has, within the last two or three slays,
met an untimely end from the effects of a prolusion of it with which he
was supplied by a person who calls himself Jast P. Burke. The deceased
having unfortunately entered a shop where Burke happened to be, and
being already half seas over, he called to Burke fora grass The appli-
cation was complied with, and repeatel six different times I The con-
sequence was that the wretched man soon became stupifiecl, turned
black, swelled, and died within a few hours. His remains were interred
this day, but we have not heard that a Coroner's inquest has been holden.

- Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, tnat densely-
populated neighbourhood, Kent street, Borough, was thrown into a state
ot excitement by an alarming fire suddenly bursting forth from the
lower part of the premises belonging to Mrs. Lath: r (widow), twine.
maker, No. 171, in that strret. For several hours the most serious
consequences were apprehended, owing to the combust ib'e nature of the
materials on tire, and the dela.nitated state of the building. The power..
ful engines from the Southwark Bridge-road station were shortly in at-
tendance, and were got immediately to work. By the incessant exer.
tions of the firemen the flames were confined to that part of the building
where the fire commenc,d, and which is partly consumed. The cause
was afterwards discovered to have been the spontaneous ignition of a
great quantity of hemp in the cellar, which must have been smouldering
same days. Mrs. Lather, unfortunately, is not insured.
On Sunday mornin,s, a young man named Spice,
one of three who had ventured on the river without a waterman,
was drowned near Blackfriars_bridge through the upse,ting of the boat.
His companions narrowly escaped a similar fate. The state of the
bridge, which is undergoing repairs, is said to be highly dangerous to
the navigation. On Saturday night a seaman named Soryer, belonging
to a Russian ship, fell overboard, and was drowned.

merchants of the town.

Tee cloth basing been withdrawn, and a most sumptuous
dess, rt tdacnd upon the table,
The MAYOR arose anti said :—" Our distinguished guests
will, I ern sure, if from no other reason, from the known gal-
lan, re of their nation, exeuse one rend: ring, our homege tio.t
here the homage of all Enelishmen is eisecielly due, to our
y •utt•ful Quei n; and perin't m to propose, ' The health et
her M ,jes tar- Queen. Duch• of Lancaster.' "
T, e t alt ars nee iv. d with loud cheers, and it was druek
with the m ,st marked enthusiasm.
The MAYOR again ;mose and sail:—" It is with much
pleasure th t I hare vow the honour to prop use the health of
the head of a gr,at nazi in with which, we hope, we may
perm 'neatly continue in cordial alliance, to the benefit of each
ceutitry and the advantage of the rest of the world, the only I
rivet y betwe en us being, in future, in the career of imp-ove-
m..nt, atid in promoting tl ose objects tir.• most .
lived te, increase the real leippiness of nations, ' His Majesty,
the King of the French.' "—( Loud applause )
The Duke of DALMA TIA, after a shirt pause, arose and ad-
dressed the assembly in French. He expressed his sense of
the honour which had been conferred on his eatien by the
remarks of the Mayor, and said he should report the same to
the King on his return. He should also tell his Majesty of
the intellig -nee of the people of Liverpool. with whose libe-
rality sled kiedly cling he expressed line-eit highly gratified.
Ile h-d often hi aid the Kirg speak of Liverpeol to tires ef
aemiratiet. ; and all that he had been led to expect had been
more the. realised. Accepting, as lie had dine, a urs-ien of
p ace. he sh, uld feel proud and happy if he could assig in
conducing to fselings of concord and unanimity betwet n ter)
of the gre.,tes: nations in Europe. His feeling was that
there should he more war b. t , cell them, but that they should
be united in the same cause—the cls, of universal freedom
and emiel- will to all `metikind. His Excellency concluded by
retipmatieg the kind feeling expressed by the 3laior,
arid drinkieg- the town of Liveipoot and the health' of his
Wm ship —( Clue rs )
The Melees said, that it wool I he the greatest affectation in
hire to det.3 that he telt the Flattest gratification in having his
health drank by so great and di,einguisivd an Unfit ideal as
Mar-h4l Soult. " It is our privilege," centinue d his Wership,
" to have as our guest an illustrious ind.vidual us hem the King
of the French has honoured as his representative. That dis-
tinguished wart ior is now tieing, may I be permitted to say, a
yet more glorious career, aid is proving bow his presence may
draw nations more close ly tog teen in the bonds of amity and
peace. I speak. lam sure, the unanimous voice of my fellow-
townsmen, when I express our high sense of the honour con-
fer.ed on us by our dis'inguished guest in coming among us.
I cannot look upon it as a mere passing event, but as the
aegury of that closer alliance between the two great nations,
by which 'the prosperity of each may be increased, and which
must prove a blessing to mankind at large. Allow me to pro-
pose, ' The health of his Excellency Marshal Souk." The
Mayor had rcsumed his seat, but he again rose and said, he
should be gratified if they would give the toast in the true
English style, with three times t'aree. Immediately the whole
company arose, and gave three times three hearty cheers.
The French suites emed not only amused, but highly grafi-
fi,d at this display of feeling, anti it appeared to us that they
caught some of the enthusiasm.
The Duke of DALMATIA said, that the sentiments which
the Mayor had done him the honour to express, he hoped he
would allow him in the fullest extent to reciprocate, and he
wished the sante to be understood with respect to the whole
town of Liv.reool. The reception and the hospitality which
he had met with excited a proud feeling ie his heart, and he
should feel gratified to bequi ath to his children a me morial of
the honours which they had conferred Olson hint. He hoped
the commercial prosperity of this port and the commercial
intercourse of this country with his own would he increased to
the greatest extent.—( Applause.)
The MAYOR said :—" I have learned, that his Excellency
has yet other claims to respect. In that smaller, yet deeply
interesting, circle, the bosom of his own family, he has the
gratification of seeing the statesman and the philanthropist.
We shali, therefore, I should hope, not be dung what is un-
ueleome to M irehal Soult, while we only do justice to our
own feelings, in drinking the health of the Marquis of Dalmatia
and the Marquis de Mornay."—( Cheers. )
The Mat quit De DALMATIA rose end said—My Lord
Mayor and Gentlemen—l must return you my thanks for your
toast, and for the display of your sentiments on my behalf.
Some 3 ears have elapsed since I met in this same Hail with
the most cordial arid kind reception, and I avail myself oftb
the
present °pro, tunity to express to you again my utmost grati-
tude for both. Since that period how many changes, how
many improvements have occurred in this country, and more
particularly in this toen.. Tnese improvements, Gentlemen,
we must refer not only to the wealth of this nation, to the
spirit of this high-minded people, but also, and perhaps even
more, to the freedom that both in politics and in trade, is the
most powerful, and I dare say the only vehicle by which great
things can be accomplished. Of these principles I have been
in my parliamentary career the constant and strenuous sup-
porter ; and I am happy to see, by witnessing your splendid
exertions, that the truth lies in them, as well as that success
constantly attends their application. By relying on them the
erospe ity of this country has arrived to an unparalleled height.
That it will still furtl,er and fuitlter increase: is the most sin-
cere of my wishes and the most sanguine of ma hopes.
The Marquis de MoRNAY arose, and was loudly cheered.
The Noble Marquis is one of the most popular spc .kers in the
Fiench &elate, and he spoke with so much vivacity, anima-
tion, and rapidity, that it was with difficulty we could catch
more than the import of what he uttered. rile is the great ad-
vocate of the free trade system in the Tribune of his country,
end his .opinions have great weight ; tire), then fore, they ere
hell in respect in this et unary. The M,.r.qiiis cemmeticed by
saying, that he th nked the company for the kind manner it.
which thee had erat.lt ht: he a th, and he should always re-
member his nee pti- ii in Li,e.pool and arnoOgst them with
feelings of pride and e ratfiew ion. It 1:ail always been his ob-
jeet, in tee Tribune at his oe n country, to advoc: to a free
trade system ; and ehst be had seen, since lie came to Eng.
land, had determined him still more strenuously to advecate
it —( Applause. )
Tee MAYOR pr 'posed, as the next toast, " Prosperity to
the French tiarion, and the heal'bs of the Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen wound us. It present •tives of eatnee enrolled in the
pages of history."_( Cheers. )
The Count de PRASLIN briefly reeerned thanks.
The MAYOR ailed. d leiefly to the sentiments that had been
expressed by tee Marquis de Mornay. We should net (he
said) be considered sincere, in this commercial place, if we did
net express our conviction of the value of a belts r utelerstand-
ing of the true principles of commercial intercourse. He ven-
tured, therefore, to propose, as a sentiment, " The free and
unrestricted interchange of the productions of our respecCee
countries. "—(P pplause )

The Marquis,
of DatmaTta proposed the Lady Mayoress
and the Ladies of Liv,ipool.
The MAYOR, in return, drank the Ladies of France, who,
he believed, were the great indueemeuts to their guests to
leave them, for they uere hurrying away on the following
morning.

The toast was drunk with applause ; and
The MAyott said, as the 1: dies were the subject of that, their
last toast, they would ncw juin them.
The company were about rising to depart, when
The. Marquis de MortNAY, in a brief sjneeh, returned thanks
on behalf of thy French ladies, and proposed all the English
ladies —(Applausp.)
Toe crtrt,eany then retired to join the lsdies and gentlemen
who had been incited to the soiree, which we noticed in our
publication of yesterday.

VISIT TO THE MENAI BRIDGE.--Stub was the anxiety of
the Marshal t•) view the -nagnifvent structure whiCh connects
the Isl,nd of Anglesey with the Piincipality, that notwith-
statwin4r the fatigues of the da‘, the nto.nent his Excellency
a,id suite had made some alteration in their dress, the car-
riages were again ordered, and at half-past twelve on &our-
day night, they started for the Pier head, St. G•orge's Quay,
where the Avon steamer was in waiting. Several of the gen•
tlemen in his suite not much relishing the idea of a steam ex-
cursion in what threatened to be a stormy night, declked to
proceed wi,h the M irshal, and remained at the Ad, Iphi
until his return. Ti,i3 Was the re t=on why his entire suite
did nut accompany id n, instead of want of sufficient accom-
modation. as we stated in our lost. . .

The Manhal aril his friends were received by Captain
Chappell and Captain Townley at the Pier-head, and lights
Were placed in (-very direction along the quay and on the
steamer's deck, in order that no inconven;ence might be expe-
rienced in ,Intr.trking. An ample supply of wines and provi-
sions of every sort were put on board, and also a number of
attendants from :he Waterloo :NO, so that nothing itiL lit be
wanting which could contribute to the comfort and convenience
of the party.
About one o'clock the steamer left the moorings, being
loudly cheered by the crowds who, even at that late hour, were
assembled on the pier. The party remained on deck for some
time, admiring the beauty of the scenery around, until the
l;ghta of the town, end he busy hum of its streets, had Idei
fri•m the eye arld oar. The Marshal and his son appeared to
enjoy the trio mere than of the othergei:tb•men of the party, fur
