SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1847.

Correo, has merged in the Reraldo. All this looks
suspicious. It was believed that a modification of
the Ministry will shortly take place. GONSALES
BRAVO will be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, NAR-
VAEZ retaining the Presidency and taking the War
Department. Senor BURGOS, or DoNoso CORTES, is
spoken of for Public Instruction, and Moll for Fi-
nance. Ros DE OLerto and CozbovA are to be raised
to the rank of Lieutenant-General.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT. P.—The Three per Cents,
were done at 27i, at fifty days; the Five per Cents
at 171 for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 51
for cash. '

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.

Count ArroxY, the Austrian Ambassador, Com-
municated to M. GDIZOT on Tuesday the note of
Prince METTERNICH on Italian affairs, and on the
same day forwarded a copy to London for presenta-
tion to Lord PALMERSTON.

The ordinances opening large supplementary cre-
dits, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs are loudly
condemned in these journals. The Presse says—
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs could not be
more prodigal of supplementary credits for expenses
of travelling, of couriers, and extraordinary missions,
if France were overgorged with money, and M.
Dutnon certain of obtaining his loan at a rate much
higher than the last, contracted by M. Lacave La-
plagne (84f. 75c.) A royal ordonnance inserted in
the Moniteur opens to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, for the service of 1846, a supplementary
credit of 255,000 f. for expenses of travelling, cou-
riers, and extraordinary missions. From what we
know of certain missions, the service of 1847 will
not be less extended than that of 1846."

The Union Monarchique has the following:—

" The quarters of an hour of Rabelais become
daily more and more frequent with the Administra-
tion of the 29th of October. Since France was pro-
claimed to be rich enough to pay for her glory, M.
Guizot sets no bounds to his prodigality. He draws
at sight upon the public treasury without the least
consideration or advice, with all the thoughtlessness,
all the magnificence of a son of a high and rich
family emancipated from all control. Thus it is that
the Moniteur publishes divers ordonnances opening to
the Minister extraordinary credits for the moderate
sum of 966,000 f., which may be called a million ab-
sorbed by M. Guizot. It is to be observed that the
expenses of journeys, couriers, and extraordinary
missions, form the greater part of these allotments.
In other words, M. Guizot sends in his little account
of miscellaneous expenses in his glorious diplomatic
campaigns at Monte Video, Madrid, and elsewhere.
This is rather dear, whatever may be thought of it.
e shall wait the approaching session to learn whe-
ther the Chamber is as liberal as the Minister in the
item of diplomatic expenses. He will have to submit
these charges to the most strict examination and
control ; and he will, above all, have to ask himself on
the subject of Spain, and the delightful victory gained
by M. de Glucksberg at Madrid, whether France is
rich enough to pay for his mystifications."
It is said that Louis PHILIPPE himself personally
managed the negotiation with SERRANO for the resto-
ration of NAavlez to power, through the intervention
of the
.Duke of GLUCLSBERG, without the know-
ledge of either the Ministers or of Queen CHRISTINA
Galignanis Messenger gives the following account
of the trick that was played to induce it to contradict
the reports of CHRISTINA'S departure, which were
circulated on Saturday t—
" The National has an article on Spain which is
exceedingly curious. We give it as we find it; but
it is right to observe that the statement respecting
General Serrano does not coincide with the account
given in the Madrid Gazette of his appointment to
the post of Captain-General of Grenada. Even that,
however, is a sort of confirmation of the assertion of
the National, that he has consented to withdraw from
all direct connexion with the Palace. As to the
statement respecting the departure of Queen Chris-
tina, we have been informed, on inquiring at her
house in the Rue de Courcelles, that she did leave on
Saturday with her husband, and without suite.
Only three days ago, when it was announced by one
of our Contemporaries that the Queen had quitted
Paris, we stated that it was untrue. We did this
with the full conviction of the correctness of our
statement, for it was the result of an inquiry mule at
the house, where a positive assurance was given that
she was still there, and we saw nothing to indicate
that any deception was practised. It appears, how-
ever, that the reply made to our inquiry was inten-
tionally false, and that every means, even to leaving
the guard at the dcor, which is supposed to be mounted
only when the Queen is at Paris, was adopted to con-
ceal her departure!'
The National says—
" Our readers, who take an interest in the joys
of the innocent Isabella, will be grieved with us
at two pieces of intelligence which we have to an-
nounce. Maria Christina is at Madrid, and Ser-
rano has quitted it ! The ex Regent left Paris (
Saturday morning, taking with her only Munoz
and a confidential servant. She travelled with
extreme rapidity, and was at Bordeaux on Sunday
evening, preserving the strictest incognito. All
this mystery was intended to elude the surveillance
of the English Embassy, and to prevent the news of
her journey arriving at Madrid before her. She has
wayai forne wasth i s
thus avoided the chances of a counter.order, and has
prepared for her daughter a surprise which, no
doubt, will be by no means an exceedingly agree-
atrahveapermise to withdraw from public

obtaining
inhge
affairs. On what conditions has the latter given
his consent ? And what compensations did he
demand for the sacrifice of a position which
he no longer considered exceedingly solid ? On
this point, matters are related of a most wonderful
generosity. The government of Cuba was pro-
posed to Serrano, but he preferred fortune, and a
repose became necessary after so glorious a campaign,
to that distant exile. He may have crossed Christina
on her way, for it is in France, the report goes, that
our hero has decided to pass his holidays. Isabella's
holidays are. over, and the poor Queen is now
about to behold around her the troubles and an-
noyances of those tiresome political matters which
she had taken such a disgust to. Capital projects
of sermonising are attributed to Christina. She
reckons on the ell-powerful influence which she
formerly exercised over her daughter, to lead her back
by her counsels and example to the virtuous path of
legitimate affection, and of the Moderado party. It
is said that we are to behold a new edition, revised
and amended, of the marriage of last year. Our
Cabinet is about to do over again what has been so
maliciously undone by Mr. Bulwer. Will it obtain
this reconciliation of the royal couple ? For that,
Paquo must show forth, and England withdraw. We
have strong doubts that success will crown the at-
tempt en the one hand, and that the other party will
consent to it. Besides, if the presence of Queen
Christina does not resolve all difficulties, another
journey is in preparation here from which marvels
are expected. The Duke de Montpensier, it is said,
is to proceed to Madrid, and is to declare solemnly
before the assembled Cortes that he renounces all
claim to the throne—of France. After that, if Lord
Palmerston be not satisfied, it must be because he is
justly represented as a man without mercy, a faithless
busy-body, and an enemy of the family l'
The Presse says —" M. DE BACOT:MT is appointed
Ambassador from France to the Court of Spain.
This nomination has been made under the same in-
fluence that, in 1842, decided the selection of Mr.
BuLwen. This similarity dispenses with our making
any reflection upon this nomination."
Lord BROUGHAM has arrived in Paris, and alighted
at the Hotel Meurice.

The Union Afonarchique says—" We learn from
good authority that an offer of the Peerage has been
several times made to the Duke D'lsLy, who has
somewhat rudely declined the honour, reserving his
independence for the next session. M. TRIERS is
greatly in favour of the opinion of the Duke D'lsr.r,
who highly disapproves of the nomination of the
Duke D'Ausse.LE to the post of Governor-General of
Algeria."
The editor of the Courrier Francais was sentenced
on Wednesday, by the Court of Assizes of Paris, to
six months' imprisonment, and 6,000 francs fine, for '
copying from the Independance, a Brussels journal, a
libel on M. DussoN, the Minister of Finance.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, SIX O'CLOCK, A M.
The royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Har
rison, arrived in the Mersey this morning. She
sailed from Boston on her regular day, October 1,
and brings one week's later news from all parts of the
United States, besides accounts from Canada to the
time when she left Halifax. The Hibernia had ar-
rived out at Boston, and the Cambria was met by the
Britannia when about half-way across the Atlantic.
There is not any news of importance. Nothing fur-
ther had been heard from Mexico. A New York
paper of September 20, says—
" Accounts from Tampico to the ith of September
speak of letters from the capital, which had been re-
ceived there, with some of the articles of the treaty
then under negotiation. Santa An, a's government
or commissioners had offered to recognise the boun-
daries of Texas as claimed by the United States, the
latter to restore California and all the cities, towns,
forts, and territories held by their forces, except the
city of Matamoras (whence the Mexican army issued
to begin the war), the latter to be separated from the
Mexican territory by a canal for that purpose,
Our latest dates are : From Mexico, August 29 ;
Vera Cruz, Sept. 5 ; Tampico, Sept. 5 ; Matamoras,
Sept. 10 ; Sante Fe, Aug. 11. Reinforcements are
being thrown forward to General Scott by way of
Vera Cruz, and a permanent arrangement is being
completed for opening and keeping open the road
from Vera Cruz to the capital. A force of Texan
Rangers is to be employed in this service. General
Paredes has put himself at the head of a respectable
Mexican force, with which he was marching upon the
capital, in violation of the armistice, to put down
Santa Anna. An opinion gains ground in the
United States that the movements of Santa Anna's
domestic enemies may lead to an alliance between
him and General Scott. Santa Anna has a native
army of about thirty thousand men. Santa Fe is
almost evacuated by the American forces, their term
of service having expired. Rumours were current
at Vera Cruz, on the sth, that Paredes had arrived
at the City of Mexico and imprisoned Santa Anna.
The Washington Union has advices from Vera
Cruz, which speak confidently of an early peace
with the Mexican Government.
The Vera Cruz correspondent of the New York
Sun states that the British 'l'Viinillater was making ar-
rangements_ to forward a semi-monthly mail from
Mexico via New Orleans, New York, and Boston, by
the Cunard steamers. An American steamer leaves
Vera Cruz on the Ist and 15th of each month, ar-
riving at New Orleans in time for the mail to reach
the next steamer leaving Boston for Liverpool. By
this route the distance between the city of Mexico
and London can be travelled in from twenty-five to
thirty days.
The papers now to hand contain numerous letters,
&c., from the United States army in Mexico ; but
they mention nothing of importance, or what is
worthy of notice.
Respecting commercial intelligence one of the New
York papers says :
The two failures on the Stock Exchange, noticed
in our last, have been followed by a rapid deprecia
tion of the shares in which the parties had speculated.
With this exception there has been no interruption to
our prosperity. Money is abundant, the foreign
exchanges rule in favour of the United States, and
everything indicates a sound condition of monetary
affairs.

Flour and Grain Marks s--Sinee our review of
this day week there has been a very slight decline in
flour and grain, but the fad does not exceed six cents.
per barrel on the former, and two cents. per bushel
on the latter. Indian corn is in better demand,
owing to the limited receipts, and our quotations
show an advance during tke week of three to four
cents. per bushel.
Cotton Market—This market is without change.
Prices rule the same as on this day week, but they
are feebly supported.
Subjoined is the latest state of the markets at New
York
The Foreign bill market is well supplied with
good bills, which command the following rates .
On England, 1081 ; Paris, sf. 25c. a sf. 28ic. ; Am-
sterdam, 39f a 39t ; Hamburgh, 35f a 35i ; Bre•

The system of banking pursued by our city banks
is found to press heavily upon local manufacturers,
merchants, and mechanics. To obtain discounts it
is necessary for the dealer to have a large balance
constantly in the bank, so that the interest which he
pays indirectly generally amounts to double the rates
established by law. But there are few men in ordi-
nary business able to pay this heavy tax. Their pro-
fits do not warrant it. They find it more economi-
cal to club together and establish banks for themselves
in different parts of the State, under the general law.
They thus obtain greater facilities, are enabled to ex •
tend their business and furnish employment to larger
numbers of working people. The whole community
thus reap the advantages of the Free Banking Law.
The banks of this city and Albany, with the aid of
Comptroller Flagg, would abolish this system—
would compel the free banks to supply two capitals,
and redeem their bills at two or three points, each
some hundred miles from the other. We trust the
Legislature will lend itself to no such scheme. If
the banks of this city and Albany wish to do a legi-
timate business, instead of fostering stock and land
speculators, they have only to grant facilities to
honest men in active business, and thus remove that
pressing necessity which is calling these free banks
into existence. They having nothing to gain by in-
trigue with Comptroller Flagg, or any other state
officer. No Government aid can free them from
subjection to the laws of trade. If they cannot do
a profitable business without exacting twelve or
fourteen per cent. per annum from their dealers,
their management is either too expensive or too
corrupt to be safe for their stockholders.
Another measure of Flagg's hostility toward the
free banks is the tax law which he has submitted to
the Legislature. In this, however, if we are not
misinformed, he proves faithless to so:ne of his bank
ft:iends in this city, whose interests he had pledged
himself to sustain. His Albany banks may have
forced him into this exhibition of "panic faith." We
shall soon know how far the Legislature has been in-
fluenced by these banks.
The Boston Transcript has the October dividends
of the banks in that city ; the per tentage generally
is much larger than on the previous year. The
average dividends of all the banks is over 3f per cent.,
and the excess in amount, over last April, is over
35,000 dolls.
The advantages of domestic manufactures are dis-
cussed in the southern newspapers. An appeal is
made by the Macon Journal for the establishment of
manufacturing companies in that part of Georgia.
The fouth has the superiority over the north in
proximity to the raw material ; and the southern
states also possess more agricultural wealth than the
northern, as appears by the following returns from
the census of 1840 :
New England States.
Corn ......11,943,000 bush.
Wheat .. 2,898,000 "
Potatoes —.20,581,000 "
Rye ...... 2,582,000 "
Oats ...... 11,247,000 "
Buckwheat 1,097,000

Tennessee and Georgia
83,585,000 bush,
9,911,000 "
3,792,000 "
448,000 "
9,548,000 "

50,348,000 bush. 107,194,000 bush.
In addition to this, Georgia and Tennessee produce
annually about fifteen millions pounds of rice, and
probably three millions of sweet potatoes, none of
which are raised in New England. They also have,
according to the census of 1840, 1,906,851 neat cattle,
and 4,484,362 swine ; whereas the six New England
states have but 1,545,273 neat cattle, and only 748,698
swine.

Thus showing that while these two southern states
have a little over half the population of New England,
they have more than double the capacity to feed them.
In many parts of Georgia and Tennessee, opera-
tives can live for less than one-half of what it would
cost them at Lowell, or any other of the great manu-
facturing cities of New England. The only obstacle
to the advancement of the southern states is their want
of enterprise and the degrading position in which the
labourer, the operative, and the mechanic are placed
in those states. In New England labour is honour-
able. In Tennessee and Georgia the labourer is dis-
franchised, and public opinion looks down upon him.
Here is the secret of the difference between northern
and southern manufacturers.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 29, r.v.
Ashes—There is a moderate business doing owing
to the small receipts. The sales are some 120 barrels.
Pots, at 5 dells. 50c. to 5 dolls. 56ie., and a small lot
reported at 5 dolls. 521 c. Limited sales of pearls at
7 dolls., at which the market Is firm.

Cotton—There is a disposition on the part of the
holders to realize; the market is in favour of the
buyers, with sales of 2,000 bale,.
Flour, Sze.—The market opened firm, and at rather
better prices, caused by the report of a bad break on

the canal, near Little Falls, which, however, proved
to be only temporary, the boats being detained but a
short time. The sales are 400 barrels, Genessee new,
at 5 dolls. 81c. to 5 dolls. 871 c.; 2,000 new Ohio and
Michigan, at 5 dolls. 75c., and 800 barrels old GE nessee
at 5 dolls. 62kc. ; old Ohio and Michigan is selling in
small lots at 5 dolls. 50c. ; fresh ground ditto from old
wheat at 5 dolls. 56c. to 5 dolls. 62ic.; Oswego sold
to the extent of 909 barrels, at 5 dolls. 56c. for fresh
ground, at the close the market was heavy, the lower
rates being accepted. Rye flour is dull at 4 dolls. to
4 dolls. I2c. Corn meal is saleable; it was hard to
obtain good meal below 2 dolls. 75c. at the close. The
sales have been some 2,000 barrels. Ohio and State,
at 2 dolls. 62ic. to 2 dolls. 73c. ; Jersey is selling in
small lots at 3 dolls. l2ic. ; Brandywine is wanted
at 3 dolls. 50c. for barrels, and 17 dolls. 50c. to 18
dolls. for puncheons.
Grain-We notice a good demand for new Southern
Wheat, of which there is but litte here; no sales of
any kind transpired to-day ; buyers hold off for
lower prices. Rye is nominally the same as yes-
terday, but little demand and only limited receipts.
Corn is in active demand ; the sales are limited. be
cause of the light supply; the report of a break in
the canal rather stiffened the market in the early part
of the day, and sales were made of some 8,000 bushels
mixed at at 66c. to 67c. ; 7,000 do. flat yellow at 68c.
to 69c., together with a lot of 2,500 bushels yellow
at 70c , delivered ; also 3,500 bushels New Orleans,
from store, slightly heated, at 65c. Oats continue
saleable at 51c. to 53c. by the cargo, and 54c. to 55c.,
at retail ; the receipts are to a fair extent.
Buckwheat-We notice that new is becoming more
plenty, and commands 2 dolls. 62c. to 2 dolls. 75c. for
1001bs ; in bbls. it brings 5 dolls. to 2 dolls. 25c.
Whisky-The market is very small ; only small
sales of State Prison at 29c. ; Ohio at 28i-c., and
Drudge, in small lots, at 82i-c.
Wool-The demand for good Fleece is large, with
sales of some 20,0001b5. at very full prices. In mixed
and common qualities, there is a fair demand at former
quotations.
Naval Stores-We hear of small sales of Newburn
turpentine at 3 dolls. 50c. ; Spirits turpentine arrive
freely, and some 300 bbls. sold yesterday and to-day
at 50c. a 51c. In rosin there is more doing ; the
sales are some 1,500 bbls. North County changed
hands at 64c. ; some 600 bbls. white were disposed of
at 2 dolls. for No. 1, and 90c. to 1 doll. 50c. for No. 2.
A good demand for par, with sales of 700 bbls. at
2 dolls. 62c. Southern and City pitch brings 81c. a
1 doll., in small lots.

Candles—With an active demand, prices are better
for City and New Bedford sperm ; mould tallow are
in demand. and bring 1 lie. a 13ic., 4 mos.
Provisions—The market is rather better for mess
pork, with sales of some 400 bbis at 14 dolls. 50c., at
which the market is firm. Prime is in good demand,
with sales of 700 bbls. at 10 dolls. 75c. Lard is
quiet; we hear of 100 bbls. prime at 10c. a 161 c., but
the market must be reported dull and drooping.
Since 'change we hear of a sale of 500 bbls mess
pork, deliverable in January, at 13 dolls. Butter and
cheese steady, and sales at yesterday's prices.
Freights are inactive and rates nominal.

GRAND DINNER TO SIR ROBERT
PEEL AT LIVERPOOL.
(BY EXPRESS.)
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.
Last night his Worship, the Mayor, entertained a
select party at the Town-hall. • The guests sat down
at seven o'clock, and among them were :—Lord San-
don, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., Mr,
Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Thornely, M.P., Mr. William
Jackson, M.P., Colonel Falconer, Captain Evans
Captain Bevis, Mr. Rushton, Mr. Bromley Moore:
the Town-clerk, Mr. C. Lawrence, Mr. James Law-
rence, Mr. W. Earle, Mr. H. Earle, Mr. R. Earle
Mr. Gibson, Mr. Baines, Mr. Cortazzie, Mr. Sands,,
Mr. S. Holme, Mr. A. Lace, Mr. Langton, Mr. D.
Campbell, Mr. H. Littledale, Mr. Neilson, Rev. W.
Connybeare, Mr. Grant, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, and
Mr. Nichol.
On the cloth being withdrawn, the usual loyal toasts
were given, and received with applause of more than
wonted intensity.
The MAYOR then proposed the "Army and Navy,"
coupling with the toast the names of Colonel Faulkner,
to whom his Worship paid a high compliment for in-
defatigable zeal in his military connexion with the
district, and of Captain Bevis, R.N.
Colonel FAULKNER briefly and happily responded,
expressing the pleasure and satisfaction he had derived
in his intercourse in the discharge of his duties with
this municipality.
Captain EVANS, R.N., as the senior post captain,
returned thanks on the part of the navy, and de-
clared that,"though peace at present happily pre-
vailed, should occasion require, the " wooden walls
of Old England" would be found as serviceable and
invulnerable as in the fighting days of Nelson and
Collingwood.—(Applause.)
" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" was then
given, with which his 'Worship coupled the name of a
respected relative then at the table, and of Mr. Cony-
beare, Principal of the Collegiate Institution.
The Rev. CHARLES LAWRENCE acknowledged the
compliment. Although, he observed, the peculiar
duty which clergymen were called upon to discharge
involved (necessarily attendant upon the spiritual
office) dangers and difficulties, and annoyances of a
trying nature, yet in his opinion, an occasion like the
present, with its concommitant gratifications, was full
and ample compensation, inasmuch as it brought to
the clergymen the conviction that they were sup-
ported by the opinions of good men, and the appro-
bation of the society for which they laboured.
The MAYOR then gave "The Lord Lieutenant of
the county." He again rose in a few minutes, and
proposed " The health of Lord Sandon, late M.P. for
the Borough." They would all be delighted, he
said, more especially there, to drink the health of a
nobleman long known to many of them, who, for
sixteen years, in five successive Parliaments, had
honourably and usefully (with honour to him-
self and advantage to his country) represented
this borough. It certainly could not be asserted,
even of Lord Sandon, that in that long period
of time, in every vicissitude of the political world, he
had invariably, and on all occasions, given satisfaction
to the whole body of his constituents, yet no one had
ever attempted to deny that to the majority he had
given satisfaction, and that universally he had won
many times admiration, and always respect. Every
one admitted the Noble Lord's honesty, integrity,
and earnest desire to promote, by every means in his
power, the prosperity of all classes in the commit
nity ; and he therefore called upon them to drink his
health with three times three.---(Loud applause.)
The toast was drunk accordingly.
Lord SANDON rose to respond, and was greeted
heartily on presenting himself. The Noble Lord,
after alluding in a very impressive manner to the
origin of his connexion with Liverpool, and to the
results which had ensued his career as representative
of the town, spoke of the honour which he had always
considered the representation of so important a
town had conferred upon him, expressing an
opinion that the pride with which he had always
accepted the trust must be deemed justifiable
when it was remembered who were the men who
formerly, in more stirring tines, had been returned
to Parliament as Members for Liverpool. One of his
predecessors in the office it would be sufficient to say
had been the illustrious Huskisson, and he frankly
confessed, expecting that the merit would be at least
accorded to him of having adopted the best possible
model, that it had always been his aim and ambition
to tread in the footsteps of that very remarkable man.
—(Applause). He responded entirely to all the ob-
servations which had been made by the Mayor. It
was his conviction that England owed still a deep
debt of gratitude to William Huskisson. He had en-
deavoured, wisely and cautiously, at the same time
firmly and fairly, to free commerce from its fetters,
to facilitate the trade of the world, and to render the
interchange of nations as unrestricted as the best in-
terests of humanity demanded. Lord Sandon then en-
tered into a variety of statistics of a very interesting
character, throwing some new light on the immensity
of the progress of the port of Liverpool, since the
date of his first connexion with it, with regard both
to the population and the dock and corporate reve-
nues, demonstrating the flourishing condition of the
commerce flowing into the estuary of the Mersey, and
verifying some observations previously made by the
mayor in respect to the enormous responsibility in-
evitably entailed upon those who accepted the repre-
sentation of the borough of Liverpool. In proportion
to the increase of Liverpool in power and wealth, he
said would there be expected from its reapnrdesietnwtaativteos

the duties he had undertaken to
plause). After some further remarks, the Noble
Lord concluded by returning thanks for the hearty
manner in which his health had been received, and
sat down amid loud applause.
The MAYOR then gave, what might be considered
the toast of the evening, " The health of Sir Robert
Peel," highly eulogising the public conduct of the
Right Hon. Baronet, and acknowledging the services
he had rendered to the British empire during the pe-
riods which he had held office. The toast, he said,
had peculiar interest, not only because of the promi-
nent position of Sir Robert Peel, but because he had
that day kindly consented to be present on raising the
statue of one of the most distinguished of his col-
leagues in a former Administration, to the pedestal
prepared for it in front of the Custom-house. It was,
said the Mayor, exceedingly appropriate that Sir R.

Peel should have arrived in Liverpool on that particu-
lar day, for the town was then being engaged in do-
ing honour to ono to whom it owed much ; and it was
the peculiar glory and pride of Sir P. Peel to have
followed out, consummated, and completed the policy
which Mr. Huskisson had so advantageously origi-
nated.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir R. PEEL, in returning thanks, said that when,
some weeks ago, the worshipful the mayor, trans-
mitted to him an invitation to be present at that
dinner, he had gladly and gratefully accepted it--
first, because the opportunity was thus afforded him
of forming a personal intimacy with a family whom
he had long respected, and of which the mayor was a
member; secondly, because it would be in his power,
in that way, to evince his high estimation of the
town sf Liverpool, in the person of its chief officer;
and, thirdly, it was with him an object to make him-
self thoroughly acquainted with some of the secrets
and details of this great commercial community—the
greatest, probably, that the world knew—and of ad-
miring the energy and enterprise, the vigour and
skill, by which the estuary of the Mersey had been
fitted for the reception of the commerce of the
world. The Right Honourable Baronet, at great
length, dilated upon the solicitude with which he had
always regarded the affairs of Liverpool, con-
vinced, as he had always been, that the success of
this port must reflect the prosperity of the country.
—(Cheers.) There were other reasons why he
should always have examined with some interest the
rise of the port to its present paramount importance.
He was unconnected with Liverpool by any local ties,
but with the county of Lancashire he claimed a long
and close connexion—all the wealth and statue of his
family being attributable to that very fortunate cir-
cumstance.—(Cheers.) It was long since he had last
visited Liverpool, and the occasion was memorable.
That day, fixed for the opening of the railway to
Manchester, commenced in joy and triumph, and, by
a most melancholy event, closed in lamentation and
woe. On that day a fatal accident befel the illustri-
ous statesman to whom the mayor had alluded--
with whom it had been his (Sir Robert Peel's)
happiness for many years of his life, to be is
habits of constant and intimate friendship--
with whom he had acted as a colleague
in the service of the Crown—and for whose
views, knowledge, and virtues he had always
entertained a most profound regard.—(Applause.) •It
was to him a source of great gratification that he had
been present on a monument being raised in Liver-
pool to the memory of Mr. Huskisson. Having
complimented Mr. Gibson, the artist, on the admirable
execution of the work, he said that he regretted that
his pleasure in visiting Liverpool had been somewhat
lessened by finding that at this moment there existed
considerable embarrassment amongst commercial
olasses.—(Rear, hear.) Into the causes, or supposed,
causes of those sufferings, it would not be expecte'
he should then enter, nor was it indeed the time t 0
speculate upon the remedies there could be found for
the prevailing depression.--(Hear, hear.) This alone
he might be permitted to remark, that no one enter'
tained a greater desire than he did to alleviate most
effectually the present state of commercial affairs!
(Applause.) After some observations of a similar
character, claiming no specific notice, the Right Hoc.
Baronet concluded by thanking the company for the
honour they had done him, and sat down amid loti
applause.
The MAYOR then gave " The health of the gar
bers for the county."
Mr. WILSON PATTEN, M.P., and Mr. W. IWO/
M.P., severally returned thanks, each gentleman de'
daring that it would always be his wish to act as
the prosperity of Liverpool, and of the county:
which Liverpool was situated, were one and Pe
same.

ie
Lord SANDON then proposed the health of t
Mayor. It was to him a subject of congratulatie7
that his connexion with Liverpool had secured f°
him the tried friendship of Mr. George Hall LOP
rence, a gentleman—Whom he had known in null
relations of life, and who, as he could testify, had I_A
all endeared himself to every one who had ertjoyc"
the pleasure of his acquaintance.—(Applause.) e
The MAYOR briefly responded, and then gave'
" The Members for, the Borough," explaining tut:,
Sir Thomas Birch ,had been prevented attending 1.1
the necessity of remaining on the Continent.
Mr. CARDWELL M.P., for himself and his
Colleague, returned thanks. No exertion, he 011ld
_,
assure his worship and the company, would be want
u.
ing, either en his part or on that of Sir Thomas Birc"'
to discharge the duties devolving upon them as rept'.
sentatives of the great interests of this community. h
The MaYou then, in a highly complimentary sPeeci,
called upon his guests to drink to the health of Mr.
V. Yates. He spoke of that gentleman as a citisen4 j
whom Liverpool would be permanently indebted, ra
the munificent manner in which he had provide
of this pleasure-grounds
over-crowded
for the recreation of the inhabitant/
Mr. YATES responded humorously, recommendll
the people of Liverpool, at their earliest convenience'
to take advantage of the present he had made the°
by building houses in the neighbourhood.
The health of Mr. Gibson was next proposed,
the sculptor of the statue of Huskisson. The nay
of that great man (Mr. Lawrence said) was ~,
sociated with the highest triumphs in modern art, 11%
in no work had he done himself greater credit than
that which had been liberally presented to the toit.
as a lasting memorial by the esteemed relict of or
great statesman.
Mr. GIBSON said, I hope my vanity will not be if;
h'il
creased by the encomiums which the Mayor has be
pleased to pass upon my works, but I trust that
praises and your approbation will stimulate me to
complish greater things. I return you my very I°
thanks for the honour you have done me. got
The health of Sir Howard Douglas, who was -
present, having been drunk,
The MAYOR gave the health of Mr. Thornely, 0%0
for Wolverhampton, commenting upon the eager,l3;,,
that gentleman always evinced to promote the 113—
rests of his native town.
Mr. Tuoabfaur observed that it would alwaYl
his endeavour to second the efforts of Liverpool rs,e
and Liverpool representatives. He trusted that bs
trying circumstances under which :he community I",:ci
at present labouring would speedily disappear, 11"0
he hoped, if mistakes had been made by inerells,
who had over traded, or by the great monetary es,bo
blishment which had not managed affairs with 'roi
very best discretion, that, when the present at° 0
had subsided, both parties would learn a lesson trl,
their errors, and be in a position to make their Or
rience serviceable.—(Hear, hear.)
The last toast proposed was " The Commerce, b .
the Mersey—Liverpool and Birkenhead," with vvilled
was coupled the health of William Jackson,
-0'
M.P., f r Newcastle.
bi
Mr. JACKSON, in responding, very pointedif. o
m,
served that, although the river Mersey had twn 61„,)
there was but one interest concerned.—(Hear,
The success of the one pot would enfance the PrA.
perity of the :other, and jealousy or fear of one rot
tancing the other was altogether absurd and 00`tbf
place.
The seine object was held in view by b°
and he sincerely hoped that they would both po
perhaps, conjointly, the same great ends.
The company shortly afterwards broke up.
