HULL, Nov. 9, 1847.—This day will be memorable
in the history of this borough as a period when tEe real
Reformers have shown themselves deserving the name.
They have broken up a domineering faction which has
been strengthening itself ever since the Municipal Cor
porations Reform Act was passed until the condo. 2t of its
leader became insupportable; and at last the ReVormers,
being determined no longer to succumb to the diictation
of a clique who arrogated to itself the power of naming
the Mayor,iAldermen, !keg to be chosen, have broken the
spell that bound them, and have elected a man. .of their
own choice and free will to the mayoralty, Jgb n Lee
Smith, Esq., who ably and independently filled th e office
of sheriff last year.
NEW MAYORS.—LIVERPOOL.—Yesterday ith e an-
nual election of mayor for the borough took plat e, when
Mr. T. B. Horsfall was elected by a majority of t wenty-
nine to twenty-seven against Mr. T. B. Moore..--Bia-

THE BANQUET.
The banquet was given in the usual magnificent
style, at Guildhall. The company began to arrive
as early as four o'clock. At about half-past six the
Lord Mayor, preceded by the trumpeters of the
Life Guards, attired in their state uniforms, and fol-
lowed by the Ministers of State, the foreign Ambas-
sadors, &c., entered the hall by the state entrance
from the receiving chamber, and the procession moved
across the hall, and turning to the left and thence to
the top table, the guests took their places in the order
which had been previously arranged. The lighting
of the hall, and the general effect of the display of
the splendid gas star, the'arrangement of the banners,
&c., under the directions of Mr. Bunning, reflected
the highest credit on that gentleman's well-known
taste and judgment.
In the window at the east end there has this year
been introduced a novelty of a singularly curiuus and
beautiful character. At the, base of the window, and
immediately over the Lord Mayor's seat, were the
words, " God save the
.Queen," in large and brilliant
borate trophy, was placed, in honour of the birthday
letters, and immediately above' in the midst of an ela-
of the Prince of Wales, a magnificent plume of feathers,
with the usual appendage of royal coronet and
motto, " Ich Dien." This slilendid object measures
nine feet in height, and, with the exception of the
stems, which are of gilt metal, is composed entirely
of spun glass, of the finest texture and most dazzling
whiteness. The fibres which constitute the feathery
portion of the plume are as fine as hair, and have
the soft and glossy appearance of silk. This superb
and costly ornament was entirely designed by Mr.
Bunning, and executed under his immediate superin-
tendence, by Mr. Martin, of the house of the late
William Collins, of the -Strand. AR a matter of
curiosity, it may be addeetiiiit the combined length
of the several fibres of glass employed in the con-
struction of this interesting ornament is equal to
50,000 miles.

The Council Chamber, with its rich collection of
paintings and sculpture, was appropriated, as usual,
for the presentation of guests to the Lord Mayor and
Lady Mayoress prior to the banquet, and as a retiring
room afterwards. By an outlet at the upper end of
this room visitors passed through a small outer room
into the Court of Aldermen's Chamber, elegantly
fitted up as a withdrawing room. From openings made
by the removal of the two large windows at the end of
this apartment, the company obtained a view of an-
other new embellishment more startling, perhaps, than
any that preceded it. This was a representation of
part of the Alpine pass across Mount Simplon. In
this instance an attempt has been made to convey an
idea of the majestic grandeur and wildness of the
scene, not merely by a painting on a plan surface,
but (after the manner used at the Colosseum) by
gs other acces-
sories, serecting t
oactual
representstructures
variousa de
i employingatureof it. The
scene, therefore, occupies the whole area of a large
court-yard, and may, in fact, be called a model of the
locality it represents, which is the gorge and gallery
of Gondi, with the waterfall of the Frasmodi, on the
Italian side of the Simplon, about four leagues from
Domo d'Ossola.

It is intended by the Corporation that all these
splendid decorations (including the plume of feathers,
the Alpine scene, and the conservatory) shall remain
up for use at the approaching Polish Ball, which will
take place on the 17th instant with surpassing mag•
nificence.

Among the company present were, on the right of
the Lord Mayor,—The French Ambassador, the Duc
de Broglie, Lord John Russell, M.P., the Earl of
Auckland, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. Sir

WlNES.—Champagne, hock, claret, madeira, port,
and sherry.
Grace was said before dinner by the Lord Mayor's
Chaplain.
The cloth having been removed and Non Nobis
chanted,

The LORD MAYOR rose to give the first toast.—lt
was a great gratification to him to propose in that
hall " The health of her Majesty the Queen," wishing
her a long, a happy, and a glorious reign.—(Drunk
with all the honours and followed by the National
Anthem.)
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast,
said he had great pleasure in giving " The health of
her Majesty the Queen Dowager," with sincere
wishes that she might return to this country with
renewed health after her sojourn abroad.—(Loud
cheers, followed by a glee.)
The LORD MAYOR said, the next toast was
_ _ _ _

The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
Albert Prince of Wales, and the remaining branches
of the Royal Family." That day was not only dear
to those he addressed as citizens of London in con-
nexion with one of their most cherished privileges—
the election and inauguration of their chief magis-
trate ; it was also memorable as the birthday of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.—(Cheers.)
He was sure they all entertained towards his Royal
Highness every feeling of attachment.—(Cheers.)
He hoped as he grew in stature he would grow in
wisdom, and ultimately prove a blessing to the
country.—(Loud cheers.)
The next toast was, "Prosperity to the City of Lon-
don and its Trade."—(Loud cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR had great pleasure in next pro-
posing " The Navy and Army." Although living in
times of peace, which he hoped would long continue,
for it was a great blessing to the world, they must not
forget the glorious deeds which both services had
rendered in times past, and which always ought to
excite the grateful recollections of the country. He
had great pleasure in associating with the navy the
name of a Noble Earl who was then present, who had
twice filled the honourable post of First Lord of the
Admiralty, and whose name he was sure would be
well received in every assembly of Englishmen—he
meant the Earl of Auckland.—(Cheers.) And with
the army he begged to connect the name of Sir E.
Cust. He was quite sure, if either of the services
were again wanted, their achievements would equal
anything accomplished in former times.—(Cheers.)
The Earl of AUCKLAND and Sir, E. CusT, briefly
acknowledged the compliment.
The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of
the late Lord Mayor." He had great gratification in
stating that his Lordship had gone through his year
of office in a manner calculated to secure the full
concurrence and approval of his brother magistrates.
—(Cheers.) Considering the great number of cases
which had come under his notice as chief magistrate,
he could appeal with confidence to every one who had
observed the manner in which the late Lord Mayor
had discharged his duties, whether he had not uni-
fJrmly acquitted himself in a manner to entitle him
to the high commendation of his fellow-citizens.—
(Cheers.) Guided by a strong, honest, and upright
desire to do what he considered best, it must be a high
satisfaction to him that he now retired from office
with the conviction in his own mind that he had
faithfully, conscientiously, and fully discharged his
duty, and carried with him that best of all rewards,
the approval of every honest mind.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir G. CARROLL returned thanks. Nothing, he
could assure them, was a more gratifying compliment
to a public man on retiring from office than the tribute
he had just received of approbation from his fellow-
citizens and brother magistrates. He had endeavoured
to do his duty faithfully and impartially, and their
public approval had amply rewarded him.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast,
said, they were honoured with the presence of several
Ambassadors representing foreign Princes. It was
gratifying to have an opportunity of seeing at that
table so many distinguished characters from other
countries. It was a sure proof that we were on re-
lations of amity and in bonds of peace with the nations
of Europe and America. He earnestly hoped for the
continuance of peace during many years ; thus,
through a free intercourse between different nations,
would the blessings of civilization be most happily
promoted.—(Cheers.) That these amicable relations
might exist was, he was sure, the unanimous wish of
every individual he now addressed.—(Cheers.) They
were now honoured with the presence of his Excel-
lency the French Ambassador.— (Cheers.) They
were all, he was sure, anxious that nothing should
occur to disturb the good feeling and harmony that
ought to prevail, and which at present prevailed, be-
tween this country and that great nation whose re-
presentative sat immediately on his right.—(Cheers.)
They all felt it was essential to the peace of Europe
and of the world, that two countries like Great Britain
and France should be united together in the firm
bonds of peace and amity. That this might last for
many years to come was his most sincere and anxious
wish. He had great pleasure in connecting with the
toast of the " Foreign Ambassadors " " The health of
his Excellency the French Minister."—(Loud cheers.)
M. le Duc de BROGLIE—J'ai regret, ou pluta je
suis confus, de n'oser repondre a votre noble et bien-
veillant appel dans une langue qui m'est etrangere;
j'en ai regret surtout pour le corps auquel J, appar-
dens ; it lui faudrait un autre interprete. Les vceux
que nous formons, en effet, les sentimens qui nous
animent, nous tenons a les exprimer tout haut devant
toute l'Angleterre en presence de cette immense cite,
la tete et le cceur de ce vaste empire. Nos voaux
sont ceux que forment pour lui sea propres enfans.
Grace a Dieu, nous ne vivons plus Bans ces temps
d'etroite jalousie, de rivalite obstinee, ou les nations
ne voyaient leurs grandeur et, leur prosperite que
dans l'abaissement et la ruine 1 une de l'autre. Nous
vivons dans les temps de paix et de liberte. Les arts
de la paix sont feconds et fraternels. ' -yous les peu-
plea peuvent grandir ensembles au soleil de la liberte ;
touts peuvent s'elever en civilization, en dignite mo-
rale, en la science, en richesse, a pas inegaux pent-
etre, mais sans se porter envie. Nous voyons avec
joie les progres de l'Angleterre. Nous admirons les
fruits de son genie hardi et perseverant, les tresors
de son commerce, les merveilles de son industrie,
etalees, sous nos yeux, dans la magnificence de cette,
fete civique. Nous reconnaissons dans Phospitalite
splendide qu'elle exerce envers nous un nouveau
temoignage de ce respect et cette affection qu'elle
porte aux Princes des nations que nous representons
ici. Ces sentimens sont reciproques. Puissent-ils
s'accroitre de jour en jour L'Europe leur doit
déjà trente annees de paix. Puissent ces trente an-
flees etre sui suivies de trente autres, et de trente
autres encore! Puissent, de generation en genera-
tion, tons ceux qui viendront, a pareil jour, nous rem-
placer dans cette enceinte, avoir droit, comme nous,
de se feliciter du passe et de compter sur ravenir

The LORD MAYOR then rose and said, he had now
the honour to propose a toast, which he was quite
confident would secure their unanimous approbation.
He was about to propose " The health of her Majes-
ty's Ministers."—(Loud and continued cheering.)
He offered no political toast, nor was there any ne-
cessity in that hall, on such an occasion, that he should
do so. But it was fitting and necessary that they

should pay that courtesy and render that homage to
her Majesty's Ministers which-they -de-mixed, exercis-
ing, as they did, the great functions of the Govern-
ment.—(Cheers.) If there ever was a period when
more than another it behoved them to lay aside poli-
tics and unite heart and hand in stipport of Ministers.
it was the present juncture—(C(eers)—and he did
hope they would give them an assurance that the
possessed the confidence of the citizens of London—
(Loud cheers)—that as men of high talent, distin-
guished worth, and strict integrity, they would devise
and carry out those measures which might prove to
be for the benefit of the country.—(Loud cheers.)
On the present occasion they were honoured with the
presence of the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, the
head of the Cabinet.—(Loud cheers.) He begged
leave to offer that Noble Lord the sincere good wishes
of the company, that his Lordship and the Govern-
ment might, under the blessing of Providence, carry
forward all those measures which the exigency of the
state and the peculiar circumstances of the times re-
quired. He trusted they would be blessed with
health and energy, and that their measures would be
successful.

The toast was drunk with all the honours amidst
most vociferous cheering.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in rising to acknowledge the
toast, was received with renewed applause. His
Lordship spoke as follows :—I beg, in the name of
her Majesty's Ministers and my own, to thank you
for the great honour you have done us in drinking
our health. We are fully aware of the importance
of having the support and confidence of the city of
London for the purpose of carrying on the Govern-
ment. I am sure, that we, the Queen's Ministers,
intend to do what we think will be most beneficial for
the country ; and in that belief, omitting all subjects
of political controversy, I will say we shall not hesi-
tate to administer, and, if need be, to exceed the law,
if we think it necessary for the public welfare. I
have heard with great pleasure your Lordship's sen-
timents in favour of the continuance of peace—sen-
timents which were so well responded to by my illus-
trious friend the,: French Ambassador, who is here
present. I wish, like him, that that peace which has
now lasted for thirty years may long endure, ,
and my anxiety for its continuance, I own,
arises not more from a sense of the evils of the war
which then closed, than from the experience of the
benefits of that peace we have so long enjoyed.—
(Loud cheers.) I trust that you and this company
will permit me, before I sit down, to give " The health
of the Lord Mayor."—(Loud cheers.) It is of the
utmost importance that the functions which he ad-
ministers in this great city should be discharged with

I beg to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor."
The Lord MAYOR returned thanks, and gave " The
health of the Judges."
Lord DENMAN acknowledged the compliment and
proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress," which
was drunk with all the honours.

The LORD MAYOR having returned thanks, the la-
dies retired.

" The Attorney-General and the Bar," " The Re-
presentatives of the city of London" (acknowledged
by Baron Lionel de Rothschild), " The Sheriffs,"
"The Magistrates of the city of London," and several
other toasts, were then drunk, after which the com-
pany retired.
Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-
On Monday morning an accident occurred to one of the
trains on this line, which, though of an unpleasant
nature, was, fortunately, not attended with any very
serious consequences. In consequence of the approach-
ing Parliamentary sitting the trains within the past few
days have been exceedingly heavy, and the train which
left Exeter that morning at eight o'clock, intended to
reach Paddington at three P.M., was one of unusual
length. It had proceeded on its way till it arrived near
Bridgewater. when, to use the expression of one of the
railway employes, " one of the legs came off the steamer,"
so that it had to work on one leg for some distance ;
caused, it is supposed, by the extraordinary load of the
train, and the contrary wind and wet at the time. The
power of the steam having been thus gone, it was found
necessary to get up the steam in another boiler at
Bridgewater, as the train was unable to proceed
further, and a considerable delay to the already
affrighted passengers was occasioned. After a stop-
page of full one hour the train was enabled to proceed ;
but in consequence of the delay the greatest suspense
and alarm prevailed at all the intermediate stations,
and the other trains throughout the day were put in
confusion and disorder. An additional loss of time
also occurred in the distances between the different
stations, and on the heavy train reaching Paddington it
was nearly two hours beyond its appointed time. We
have no doubt, from the complaints made, that an in-
quiry will be instituted, in order to see to what party
blame is attached.

CHARTER OF INCORPORATION FOR BIRKENHEAD.—
A meeting of the owners of property in Birkenhead, the
rate-payers, and people generally of the township, was
held on Monday, at the Craven Rooms, for the pur-
pose of adopting such measures as might be deemed
necessary towards obtaining for the town a charter of
incorporation; and also for agreeing to invest the autho-
rities with powers to lay an additional tax on the owners
of all landed and house property in the township. The
meeting was very numerously attended. Wm. Jackson,
Esq., M.P., was called to the chair. Mr. Mortimer, as
one of the overseers of the poor, then read the requisi-
tion on which, with his colleague, he had been induced
to call the meeting, after which the Chairman ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable length on the
object for which they had been assembled, and read
the following resolution which he had prepared for
the meeting:—" Resolved, That the owners and oc-
cupiers of property :in Birkenhead, Claughton-cums-
Grange, and part of Oxton, in public meeting
astembled, regarding with deep concern the present
position of the township, and being desirous of a better
administration of our local affairs, and that faith may be
maintained with the township creditors, and encourage-
ment given for the investment of capital, do hereby re-
respectfully, but earnestly, call upon the Commissioners
to take steps for the purpose of obtaining for this dis-
trict the privilege of municipal incorporation ; and for
the purpose of authorising by an application to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session, and otherwise, the levy of
a general rate upon property within the district for the
payment of the interest on the bonded debt. And we
further request the Commissioners to call a public
meeting of the inhabitant householders of this district,
for the purpose of petitioning her Majesty in Council to
grant us a Charter of Incorporation ; and we pledge
ourselves to render every assistance in our power to the
attainment of these desirable objects." The motion was
carried unanimously. The Chairman, Mr. Craven, Mr.
Willoughby, Mr. Bailiff, Mr. Appleby, Mr. Collins, Mr.
Hughes, Mr. Mortimer, and Mr. Eastwood, were ap-
pointed as the committee, after which a vote of thanks
was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —One of the greatest impositions
practised at the present day by shopkeepers, not only in
London, but in every city and town throughout the
Kingdom, is that of forging the property of another, and
imposing on the public the counterfeit article with all
the assurance of innocence.—We allude in the present
instance to those admirable requisites for the toilet, the
Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto, as prepared by the
Messrs. Rowland, and which, from their merits and re-
putation, are the constant objects of fraudulent imita-
tion. The parties so counterfeiting concoct some trashy
compounds resembling in appearance the preparations
of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting the very same
names and copying the labels, bills, &c. &c. endeavour to
pass them off as the "GENUINE ;" reckless of the injury
which they will inevitably inflict on those who are de-
ceived into using them. We would therefore advise all
patrons of Messrs. Rowlands' articles, to purchase only
of :respectable venders—and particularly to observe the
Caution in their advertisements which frequently appear
in our paper. _

CONFUCIUS FORETOLD THE MESSIAH, B.C. 520.—
According to a translation of the prophecy, Confucius
evidently professed a firm belief in the Supreme God.
He describes the terrestrial paradise--the fall of angels
and of men—the appearance at that moment of mercy,
and the Holy One in the west, to teach and save man-
kind. The Creator has implanted in all mankind an
earnest longing for spiritual communion with the great
Author of their being. Haggai, chap. ii. v. 7. Most

Yesterday afternoon it came on to blow heavily from
the southward, and continues very stormy. No da-
mage has yet occurred here, but it is reported that
the brig Eliza Liddell, of Glasgow, with stone coal,
from Swansea, for London, is now riding at Yealm in
some danger, with both anchors down, and both masts
cut away.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. The Sidon steam-
frigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., went out
to Spithead this morning, ready to embark the Earl
Dalhousie,_ family, and suite, for Alexandria.
Some sheets of copper on the bottom of the Ter-
rible steam-frigate being either rubbed or ruffled, it
became necessary to replace them, and as they were
situate several feet under water, she required to be
docked. But no dock here is long enough to receive
her, so they have laid her ashore on the starboard
side of the creek at Clarence-yard, all her guns and
stores being still aboard. It is true the bottom is soft
mud, and she will only have to lie one tide, but it is
still a very great risk with so large a vessel. She
completely blocks up the passage.
The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Command-
ing Sir Godfrey Webster, arrived to-day from Wool-
wich. She is bound to the Mediterranean to be used
as a packet. She is to call at Plymouth, and will
take supernumeraries for the fleet.
A sum of money has been remitted to this port by
the company of proprietors of the Great Britain
steam-ship, in liquidation of the claims of the riggers
belonging to this dockyard and Plymouth who were
employed in getting her off the shore in Dundrum-
bay, but as it was not equal to their legal allowance,
and would not have divided more than 305. per man,
a letter has been written to the company, stating
what ought to be paid, and in the meantime the
matter stands over for the present.
The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Commander A. IL
Ingram, was removed from the basin to-day.
Mr. Henry Frederick M‘Killop, late mate of the
Calliope, 26, on the New Zealand station, now in the
Queen, 110, at Lisbon, who commanded a gun-boat
and otherwise greatly distinguished himself in the
operations against the New Zealanders, as expressed
repeatedly in the dispatches of the senior officer on
the station, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant,
his commission bearing date the 16th of October,
1847.

By private letters received from her Majesty's
ship Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, which arrived
at Valparaiso on the 25th of August, last from
Mazatlan, we find Rear-Admiral Sir George Sey-
mour had his flag flying on board the Cormorant
steam-sloop, which was to be shifted on the next day
to the Carysfort, and the Cormorant to sail imme-
diately for England, with a good freight on merchants'
account. We are happy to state that Captain Sey-
mour, of the Carysfort, had quite recovered from his
recent attack of illness.
We have also letters from the Collingwood, 80,
Captain Smart, flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
G. Seymour, to the 26th of August, stating that on
the following day she was to sail, with Lady Sey-
mour and family on board, to join the Admiral at
Chili. This letter, it will be perceived, does not tally
with its predecessor.

The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour,
sailed from Valparaiso for England (this we have by
the latest advices) on the 28th of August, all well.
The Undine steam yacht returned from Jersey this
afternoon.

Wind, IV.N.W., moderate breezes; weather fine.

CHATHAM, Nov. 9 —The Oberon steam-packet,
Lieutenant Commander Gardner, was put out of dock
on the Bth instant, and floated alongside the sheer-
hulk, and received on' board her gun-carriages and
guns, consisting of two 32-pounders of 25 cwt. each,
and one long 68, and a boat gun. She will take in her
powder and shot in Gillingham, where she will arrive
on the 10th instant, and then proceed to sea.
The Meander, 44 guns, Captain the Hon. Henry
Keppel, was taken alongside the sheer-hulk yester-
day, when her masts were put in their places. She
was taken into dock this day. It is uncertain whether
this ship will be rigged in dock, as the Hercules, 72
guns, has come up from Sheerness, to be fitted for
sea. She is to take out stores to Bombay, and to bring
home timber from India. Lieutenant C. R. Read,
who commissioned this ship, is late of the Conway, and
was promoted when in China in 1841. The Meander is
to be employed in the expedition against the Sooloo
pirates in the islands of the Indian Archipelago. Her
boats are being built upon Lord John Hay's prin-
ciple. She is to have a launch, the keel of which is
now laid down in this yard ; it is 45 feet in length,
and it is to he fitted with high-pressure engines of
four horse-power, and to carry two brass guns and a
howitzer. This launch is for the purpose of proceed-
ing up the rivers and creeks, and towing up the boats,
to enable the marines and blue jackets to get at the
strongholds of pirates.
The Castor, 36 guns, Captain C. Graham, arrived
in this harbour on Sunday afternoon last to be paid
off. Several individuals who had friends and relations
on board put off in boats and went alongside. Among
them was a woman who had come from London to
see her son. While sitting in the boat with a water-
man, a seaman fell from the main yard on to the
woman with such force that her head was much in-
jured and her thigh broken. She was immediately
conveyed to Melville Hospital.

going to make a move on Thursday, followed up by
the other troops, and it is considered that they will

The Cape Frontier Times, of August 24, says—
" There is no intelligence of any moment from the
front. Kafirland as well as the colony, has been
deluged with rain. The detachments of the C. M. R.,
lately stationed in town, have proceeded to reinforce
the forces at the various posts. There are strange
rumours afloat ; one of these, which seems to have
gained much belief, is to the effect that the Right
Hon. the Governor has received peremptory orders
from home to finish the war, whether the Kafirs are
beaten or not." _ .

The Kafirs, says a letter just received from Fort
Beaufort, "are very restless—about 300 to 500 have
located themselves between this and Block Drift, and
Macomo, as their chief, is there, and has been for
two nights in Fort Beaufort." From Philipton (Kat

which were re-captured by the people of the settle-
ment, and one of the marauders shot.
