the sth instant. The dates from the Turkish capital are of the
20th of April. The Austrian official organ, the Austrian
Observer, annlinces that the sultan had modified the hatti-
scheriff of February 13 The Porte had listened to the repre-
a ate ions of the Powers who signed the July Treaty, and had
granted Mehemet Ali the hereditary government in the direct
hoe, a diminution of the tribute, and a right to appoint his
e.sm naval and military officers up to the rank of Colonel.
This affair," adds the 'Vienna Observer, " has thus been ter-
minated to the satisfaction of all parties."

The anniver.ary dinner of the celebration of this festival was
held usual as at Merchant Tailor's-hall. The Lord Mayor

Albert, and on his left the Archbishop of Canterbury.
There were also present the Archbishop of Armagh, the
Bishops of London, Winchester, Chester, Bangor, Wor-

Doweshire, Lord Melbourne, the Lord Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas, Mr. Justice Patteson, Sir R. Inglis, M.P.,

After the usual loyal toasts, his Lordship gave, " His
Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Royal Steward of the year
—the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal Family," and
the following additional verse to the national anthem was sung
by Mr. Hobbs and chorus :
" Hear, Lord, a nation's prayer,
Guard thou the Royal pair ;
God save the Queen.
Scatter thv blessings round,
Let Albert's days abound,
And every voice resound
God save the Queen."

The PRINCE on rising to return thanks was recei-ed with
loud and prolonged plaudits, and on their subsiding spoke as
follows:

" I thank vou sincerely, gentlemen, for this mark of your
esteem.—(Cbeers.) It gives me great pleasure to follow the
example set me by so many members of the Royal Family of
England, of assisting at the stewardship of this ancient and
useful. Institution.—(Loud cheers.) I am the more gratified
because I see around me the Archbishops, Bishops, and Clergy
of the Church of England--(Marked cheering)—and the
Lord Mayor of the great City of London. I hope that the
objects of the bounty of this Institution may derive fresh sup-
port and assistance from this meeting, which it gives me
pleasure to attend, and that they will know and feel that they
have our sympathies and our respect.—( Cheers. ) I beg to
propose ' The health of the Lord Mayor.' "
His Royal Highness spoke deliberately, and in very good and
pure English, only slightly tinged with foreign accent. On re-
suming his seat he was again loudly eheered.
Among the other toasts of the evening were—" The Mer-
chant Tailor's Company, and thanks for the use of their hall,"
and " The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy."
To the latter toast the Archbishop of Canterbury announced
that the united subscriptions of the festival amounted to two
thousand pounds, including a donation from Prince Albert of

the first cross table, left the room, amid the cheers of the corn-
piu y. at a quarter to ten o'clock, and the meeting immediately
broke up.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"R.O.D" is quite furious. Mr. Irving's reply, from all we
heard of it, only sunk him and his like deeper into infamy.
We omitted to take an extensive notice of it, because it was
delivered very late, and, from all that we have heard and seen
of it, we lost a great deal for our cause by not having had
time and space to record and comment on that piece of
matchless impudence.
Mr. Marshall's letter shall appear as soon as we can find room
for it.
