The Moniteur of Monday officially announces
MEHEMET ALL'S unconditional surrender of the
Turkish fleet to Admiral WALKER on the 14th
ult. On the 12th a steamer left Constantinople,
having a Turkish officer on board, bearing the
Imperial _Finnan conferring upon MEHEMET ALI
the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt. A glance at
these dates shows that both the SULTAN and the
Viet:nor acted with good faith, for on the 14th
the latter could know nothing of the coming of
the Finnan, nor the former, when granting the
Finnan that MEHEMET ALI, without seeing it
would restore the fleet.

The Presse, rfter copying the note of the Messager,
announcing that the Sultan has granted to Mehemet Ali
the hereditary investiture of the Pachalic cf Egypt, adds,
" We believe that we may affirm that the conduct of the
Divan cn this important occasion, has been in consequence
especially of the urgent representation of Austria and
Prussia, which have reed to contend, if not with the influ-
ence of England, yet at least with the prepossessions of
its Amba.sador, Lord Ponsonby, who has preserved till
the very last moment his animosity to the Viceroy."

Madrid Journals of the 24th ult. have reached
us. On the previous day the Duke DE LA VIC-
TORIA reviewed eight battalions of the National
Guards of the capital, who received him with
loud and repeated cheers. All parties were pre-
paring for the elections, which were expected to
go in favour of the Ultra-Liberal candidates.

PRESENTATION OF THE CITY
ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN, PRINCE
ALBERT, AND THE DUCHESS OF KENT.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Com-
mons of the City of London, assembled at Guildhall,
for the purpose of going in state to Buckingham
Palace, to present the Addresses voted by the Courts
of Aldermen and Common Council on the birth of the
Princess Royal. Tnere were about eighty assembled
on the occasion.

The Queen received the members of both Courts
very graciously.
The Recorder then read the following addresses, to
which her Meijesty was graciously pleased to return the
answers attached to them.

" To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.
The humble Address of the Court of Lord
Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London.
" We, your Majesty's most dutVul and loyal subjects,
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London,
humbly approach your Majesty to offer our heartfelt
congratulations on your Majesty having given birth to
a presumptive heiress to the throne of those realms.

" Affectionately attached to your Majesty's sacred
person, and yielaing to none of the subjects of your
Majesty in devotion to your Majesty's illustrious house,
we most unkigncdly rejoice in the recent interposition
of Providence on behalf of your Majesty, and in the
event which promises that the Crown shall (we trust at
a very distant day) devolve upon one lineally descended
from your Majesty.

" We fervently pray that your Majesty may long
reign over a free, a loyal, and a grateful people ; and
that the illustrious Princess, on whose birth it is our
happiness to felicitate your Majesty, may be spared to
be a blessing to your Majesty, and your illustrious Con-
sort, and to exemplify the good effects of an education
founded on the principles of the Protestant Religion,
so happily established in this highly-fAvoured country.
(Signed by order of the Court)
" H. WOODTHORPE."
To which Address her Majesty was pleased to return
the following most gracious Answer :
" I thank you for your congratulation on the birth of
the Princess Royal.
" I receive your assurances of the satisfaction you
derive from the prospect thus afforded of a direct suc-
cession to the Crown, as an additional proof of your
attachment to my person, family, and government."
"To the Queen's Most. Excellent Majesty.
" The ..amble Address of the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Lou-

don, in Common Council assembled.

" Most Gracious Sovereign,— We, your Majesty's most
dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
and Commons, in Common Council assembled, embrace
the earliest opportunity of approaching your Majesty
with our sincere and dutiful congratulations on the
birth of the Princess Royal, presumptive heiress to the
throne of these realms.

" An event so important to the kingdom, under such
auspicious circumstances, has filled us with the most
grateful sentiments towards that Divine Providence
which has thus crowned your Majesty's domestic hap-
piness, and afforded to your people a prospect of per-
manence and stability to the blessings they enjoy under
your Majesty's mild and beneficent reign and govern-
ment. May the same Gracious Providence continue to
watch over your Majesty and your Royal Infant ; and
long may our Majesty be in the enjoyment of maternal
happiness, to be the guardian and protector, the orna-
ment and delight, of your people.
(Signed, by order of the Court)
" HENRY WOODTHORPE."
To which Address her Majesty was pleased to re-
turn the following most gracious Answer :

" I receive with peculiar satisfaction, upon the pre-
sent occasion, the loyal congratulations of the Lord
/slayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of
London.

" I am most grateful to Divine Providence that an
event so deeply interesting to myself should be wel-
comed by my people as a promise of the stability of
those blessings which it is the study of my life to secure
to all classes of my faithful subjects."
The Addresses to Prince Albert and the Duchess of
Kent, and the answers to them, were in a similar tone
and spirit.

THE SIR EDWARD BANKS STEAMER.—
Great apprehensions have been cnterta'n•d for the safety
of the large and powerful steamship Sir Edward Banks,
belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company,
and trading between London and Rotterdam. It appears
that she got upon the sands called the Slim Hook, a mile
below Gorec Island, on• the coast of Holland, at three
o'clock in the morning of Sunday, the 24th ult., during
very thick weather, and a severe gale from the north_
west. The passengers arid the mail had been previously
landed. The vessel has settled on the sands, and all the
efforts to get her afloat again have proved unavailing. The
engines, boilers, and cabin furniture have been taken out
to lighten the steamer, and the Jolliffe and Melville steam-
ships, of the General Steam Navigation Company, have
been sent to her assistance. Sl.e has been kf pt in an up-
right position, and it is hoped that she will be afloat again
on Friday or Saturday. On the latter day there will be a
lofty tide, the moon being then at the full, and if there is
no wind the Sir Edward Banks can be towed ufrand saved,
but should another gale take place before that time it is
feared she will go to pieces.

STATE OF PARTIES IN TILE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.-After the last general election we gave a
tabular stdtem...nt, caleulatiz4; the majority of Ministers
at twenty-two, the test being, where applicable, the
vdtes of members on the luish Church and Corporation
questions. We find that since then there have been 94
vacancies or changes occasioned in the following manner
19 by the death of members, 25 by resignation, 12 by
the accessions to the peerage and creations, 25 by accept-
ance of office, and 13 by the decisions of Committees. We
find, moreover, that in ten instances Tories have been suc-
ceeded by Reformers—in fifteen, Reformers by Tories—
thus reducing the ministerial majority to 17. How this
may be effected by the coming elections it would be idle
at present to Spoculate....Liverpoo/ Mercury.
