and George Rennie, Esq., Engineers of the Docks.
His Excellency and suite closely inspected the warehouses,
the rum vaults, the locks, and every thing worthy of observa-
tion. He was particularly pleased with the powerful and in-
genious machinery of the mahogany shed, comprising a rail-
way in its roof, and continually expressed his admiration at
the comprehensiveness of the arrangements, the extent of the
buildings, and the superior style In which every thing was got
up. The application of steam power in maintaining a uni-
form water level throughout particularly atttaeted his atten-
tion. Nothing seemed to escape him, and his inquiries through
Mr. Manby were incessant. Ile seemed to look to that gen-
lcman for an interpretation of every thing that passed around
him. The curiosity of the Marshal upon the applications of
science and practical engineering was insatiate; but either
from his own palytechnic experience, or from the rapid in-
terpretations, for 'Well he turned every moment to Mr.
, Manby, he seemed at once to enter into, and appreciate, every-
thing with a completeness and satisfaction which Foreigners,
ignorant of our language, seldom exhibit in England.
Proceeding thence to inspect the East India Docks, the
General Steam Navigation Company claimed the honour of
__. . .

escorting the Marshal and his suite and the Directors in transit u.
The whole party was received on board the Scotch steamer,
Clarence, the splendid cabin of which presented an unexpected
and most beautiful appearance. The tables were profusely
covered with wines of every description, pines and fruit of the
choicest sort. The Marshal was received by Captain Do-
ran, Mr. Brocklebank, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Hamilton (the
Company's Agent in Edinburgh,) and the Captain of the
Clarence. They paid the Marshal every attention. After the
whole of the company had entered the cabin, which, in addi-
tion to, its own ornaments, was festooned with wreaths of
flowers in the most tasteful manner,
Captain DoaaN begged to propose the health cf his Ma-
jesty the King of the French, and of his illustrious repre-
sentative, the Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, and to ex-
press the sense he, in common with all Englishmen, enter-
tained of the high honour conferred upon them by the King
of the French selecting the first General of the Continent to
be his representative at our Court on the recent interesting
occasion. Ho need not say how highly the English, as a
brave nation, appreciated the valour and transcendent military
glory of Marshal Soult. The brave must necessarity be
friends. Whilst good feeling existed between England and
France, it would be a guarantee for the peace of the world;
and knowing the mutual happiness that ensued from the inter-
change of kindly feeling and useful commerce, most ardently did
he wish that the general peace which arose from such union
might be long continued with every blessing naturally attend-
ant thereon.—( Cheers.) The toast was enthusiastically re-
ceived with three times three.
Marshal SOMT, who was received with renewed cheering,
expressed his sincere :pleasure at the very flattering recep-
tion he had met with in the British nation ; most cordially
did he join in the philanthropic sentiments just uttered by the
worthy captain, and he should be delighted in promoting
to the utmost of his ability a peace existing under such auspi-
cious circumstrnces, feeling, as he did, how much the happi-
ness of both countries depended thereon. He begged to
drink the health of Captain Doran and the Gentlemen pre-
sent.—( Loud cheers.)
The Marshal then proceeded to view the iron steam-boat,
Rainbow, and was no less struck by the symmetry of her ap-
pearance than with the great capabilities which she afforded
for steam navigation in shallow water, where other vessels of
half her size would run aground. The length of the Rainbow,
from stem to taffrail, 198 ft. ; breadth of beam, 25ft. ; extreme
breadth, 49 ft. ; depth, 123- ft. ; power of engines, 180 horses ;
diameter of cylinders, 503- inches ; length of stroke, 43- feet ;
diameter of pa.ddle wheels, 223- feet. Altogether the Duke
expressed himself quite astonished at the magnificent ar-
rangements in our docks—their capacity, elegance, and im-

mensity.
It is very creditable to the management of the General
Steam Navigation Company that though they were apparently
taken by surprise (true sailors are never taken aback) by the
suddenness of the visit, yet they had every thing in hospitable
order, and great good welcome.
The party then proceeded to view the East Indian
Docks, where the Marshal's attention was particularly at-
tracted by the noble 1,200 ton vessels lying there. Subse-
quently the party proceeded to Lovegrove's Tavern, where,'
by the orders of the United East and West India Dock Com-
panies, he had prepared the most varied and sumptuous de-
Jeuner a la fourchette that his skill could compass or the season
afford, and of which we shall only further say, en parenthese,
that the Marshal seemed to find his white bate a very supe-
rior and interesting object of natural history. In conclusion
his Excellency proposed " The Health of the Chairman
(Mr. Hibbert) and Prosperity to the United East and West
India Dock Cotnpanies."—( Received with three times three.)
Mr. HIBBERT returned thanks in a speech replete with the
happiest anticipations of good effect to arise from the social
and improving intercourse, of which his Excellency had set
such an admirable example, and which all the enlightened
spirits of England and France would be delighted to follow
and profit by. In return he begged leave to propose " The
health of Louis Philippe, King of the French." (This toast
was received and drank with all the honours.) After which—.
Marshal SOULT rose and returned thanks in the following
words :
" J'eprove une profonde impression en repondat au toast
que vient de porter M. le President, et je suis vivement pc-
netre des sentiments qu'il a manifeste. Je dois d'abord re-
rnercier l'honourable assemblee de la Sante qu'elle vient de
porter au Roi des Francais. Je suis heureux que cette oc-
casion se presente pour exprimer ici mes vceux les plus ardcnts
pour que les rapports qui existent entre la France et l'Angle-
terre se reserrent de plus en plus, qu'il deviennent de jour
en jour plus intimes, et que, par cette union, la paix du
monde foit assuree, car je le dis hautement, l'union de la
France et de l'Angleterre garantit a jamais la paix et la pro-
sperite generates. Ces sentiments que je professe depuis
long temps sont devenns une conviction encore plus profonde,
pour moi, depuis que, venu a Londre dans une occasion so-
lemnelle, j'ai vu de plus pros un noble peuple, dont les gene-
reuses manifestations m'ont revele la grandeur mieux encore
que cet immense developpement de richcsses qui est en ce mo-
ment sous mes ycux. L'aceueil quo j'en ai recu et que je
recois de vous, Mcstieurs, est a jamais grave dans mon cceur,
et je remcrcic d' honneur M. le President des nouveaux
temoignagcs qu'il vient de me'en don nor." In conclusion the
Marshal gave the following toast with an enthusiasm which
produced a lively effect:—
" A. S. M. la Reine Victoria !—Puisse son regne etre
heureux, plein de gloire, et de la plus longue duree 1 Puisse
Parnitie at la bonne intelligence qui existent entre nos deux
nations, la France et l'Angleterre, s'affirmir de plus en plus
et devenir perpetuelles 1 Ces veeux sont eeux de la France
enticre. *Palma a penser gulls sont aussi partages par le
people Anglais. L'accueil qu'il m'a fait dans ses circon-
stances solemnelles m'cn est le sur garant ; j'en emportcrai
l'impressions la plus vivo et la plus durable ."
The toast was drunk with loud cheers.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Marquis de
Dalmatia, the Marshal de Mornay; and the family of _his Ex-
cellency, to which both the gentlemen replied in French with
much animation, the latter particularly alluding to the course
he had always, followed in the Chamber of Deputies of amity
with Great Britain.

At a quarter past four his Excellency (who had an appoint-
ment with Lord Palmerston) was obliged to return, and re-
embarked in the Hardy steamer, accompanied by his friends
and the secretary, Mr. Henry Longlands, whose excelleet
arrangements for facilitating the progress of the inspection
were univt rsally admired. The MArshal, on his return up the
River, was again loudly greeted from the vessels as he passed
along, and by an admiring crowd who awaited his return at

Chairman and Directors of the London Dock Company, who
paid every attention to their illustrious guests. After a
short stay at the Supermtendent's office, the distinguished
foreigners were conduCted over the immense establishment,
visiting in succession the drug, cinnamon, tea, and silk
warehouses. They afterwards visited the long range of wine
vaults, and expressed astonishment at the great extent of those
subterranean apartments. The cigar and tobacco warehouses
were also inspected. After remaining for two hours in the
dock, the foreign noblemen and gentlemen proceeded to the
residence of Mr. Downie, the superintendent of the dock, on
the pier head at Wapping, where they partook of a de)eunei
a la.fourchette, provided by the Directors, to whom the visi-
tors expressed their high gratification of the 'tanner in which
the business of the dock was conducted, and the delight
they had experienced by the inspection of the vast concern,
and the accommodasion it afforded to the trade of this great
commercial metropolis. The shipping in the dock were
gaily dressed out with the colours of all nations ; the union
jack was hoisted at each of the dock entrances; and every
mark of respect was paid to the distinguished guests, who
appeared deeply impressed with the magnitude of the trade of
the port of London, of which their visit to the London Docks
enabled them to obtain some idea.
