The acceptance of a large amount of Prime, Ward,

has prevented remittances to make up for any deficiency
their non-acceptances would have caused.

The painting by Raphael, known by the name of
the " Virgin of Loretto," of which there are numerous
copies, though the original has long been believed to
have been lost, or destroyed, has been at last found at
Genoa, by the Marquis de Spinola, Graud Chamberlain,
and President of the Albertine Academy. The distin-
guished connoisseur, instead of converting this precious
discovery to enrich his own collection, has offered it to
the King of Sardinia, who at once decided upon making
the acquisition. All the artists of Turin have examined
it, and pronounced it to be authentic.

' rn
Saturday/a grand ontertainment was given in
e Egyptian' all by the Lord Mayor and the Lady
Mayoress the Duke of Cambridge and a number
of distinguished and fashionak
260, of whom a great numbel • were ladies, sat down
to a dinner, consisting
season. 'lle guests. Upwards of
of all L's!,''e delicacies of the
Besides his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, there were at the banquet Lord Dudley
Coutts Stuart, M.P. • the Lord Mayer, the Amen-
can Minister ; the three Polish princes, Sapietra,
Ladislaus, Czartoriski, and Adam Sapietra ; the Lord
Chief Baron, his Excellency Mr. Bro,ike, her Ma-
jesty's Minister for Borneo • Count Zam•oyski, Mr.
Masterman, M.P., Mr. Walter, M.P., Mr. Archibald
Hastie, M.P., Mr. Waddington, M.P., Mr. Cabitt,
M.P., Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Farebr'other,
Alderman Kelly, Alderman Humphery, M.P., Sir' W.
Magnay, Bart., Alderman Johnson, the Hon. C. E.
Law, M.P., the Sheriffs, &c.
The dinner was provided by Mrs. Smith, cook and
confectioner, of Mile-end-terrace.

The LORD ➢IAYOR proposed the usual loyal toasts,
"The Queen," "The Queen Dowager," "Prince
Albert," and "Albert, Prince of \Vales," which were
drunk with the usual honours and enthusiasm.

His LORDSHIP then rose to propose the health of
" His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the.
rest of the Royal Family."
The Duke of CesmaincE returned thanks for the
very flattering manner in which his health had been
drunk, in connexion with the health of the rest of the
illustrious family to which he belonged. He assured
the Lord Mayor that he could not adequately express
the satisfaction he felt upon the present occasion. Upon
many occasions he had attended in that hall before
many of those by whom he was surrounded were
born; but at all times, and under all circumstances,
whatever the politics of the chief magistrate might
be, he found the Royal Family received the warmest
support. He, therefore, felt the utmost gratification
in coming to the Man;ion•house to visit the chief
magistrate of the greatest metropolis in the world.
The LORD MAYOR, proposed " The Army and
Navy," the great services of which were so well
known as to require no particular commendation
from him.

General GRANT and Captain DENHAM severally
returned thanks.

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE proposed, " The City of
London and.the Trade thereof," which he trusted
would continue to prosper for ages.
The LORD MATOR said the next toast he had to
propose was " The health of the American Minister,"
who represented the thriving empire whose trade was
diffused throughout the whole globe. The toast was
of the greatest importance, because it was the interest
of England to cherish and uphold the good under-
standing which existed between the two countries.
The AMERICAN MINISTER said that, although not
long a resident in this great country, he had already
become acquainted, not only with its mighty re-;
sources, but its boundless hospitality. He expressed
the high gratification which he felt at the reception
which he met with at the dinner given by the Sheriffs
a few days ago, and declared that it was the wish of
his Government, and his own wish, that his residence
in England might not be a mere holiday residence,
but that it might be distinguished by drawing closer
the ties of friendship and amity between the two
countries. He wished, in conclusion, that the pros-
perity of London might last as long as time itself
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then proposed " The health
of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor," whom he had
the happiness of knowing for a considereble period,
and for whose excellent qualities he had the highest
esteem and respect.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Nothing
could exceed the high sense he entertained of the
honour done him by the illustrious Duke, in con-
descending to be his guest, and in proposing his
health in terms so flattering. It was most gratifying
to him to see his Royal Highness and such a number
of distinguished guests at his board, and he assured
them that the great wish of his heart was to serve
his fellow-citizens, and to obtain their good opi-
nion.—(Cheers.)

Hia LORDSHIP, in proposing "The health of the Chief
Baron and her Majesty's Judges," passed a high en-
comium upon the present bench, and also took occa-
sion to eulogise the conduct of Sir George Pollock,
the Chief Baron's brother, to whom the Corporation
had lately voted the freedom of the City in a gold
box.

The CHIEF BARON returned thanks. He was in-
debt6d, in the first instance, for his professional suc-
cess Ine the fact of his having received the first part of
his eNation at St. Paul's, one of the great City
schools. With delight and ratitude he heard the
Lord Mayor's allusion to his other, to whom he
would have thelWeasing task of expressing hies feelings
upon 11NrAtring the distinguPhed reward which had
been voted to him.—(Cheers.) He likewise returned
thanks for his brethren of the bench, and con-
cluded by proposing " The health of the Lady
Mayoress."—(Loud cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the
Lord Mayor, elect," who, he was convinced, would
distinguish himself in his year of office by the able
performance of his duties.
The next toast was that of" John Masterman, Esq.,
and the Members of the House of Commons," the
new blood infused into which would, the Lord Mayor
hoped, be productive of material benefit. That the
Legislature would have most important work to do
there could be no doubt.

Mr. MAsmamAN returned thanks.
Sir PETER LAURIE returned thanks for the magis-
tracy of London.
The RECORDER, in returning thanks for the honour
done him by the Lord Mayor in proposing his health,
alluded to the misunderstandings which had taken
place between the Lord Mayor and the Court of
Common Council, and said that the chief magistrate
had acted all through upon his advice, and if that ad-
vice, which had been given after the most mature
consideration, was erroneous, he was desirous of
taking upon himself the whole undivided respon-
sibility.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Mr.
Brooke, her Majesty's Commissioner for Borneo."—
(Loud cheering.) The company were well acquainted
with the merits of that distinguished gentleman, who
not only was remarkable fur valour in war, but
showed himself capable of the most successful exer-
tions in the great arts of civilisation.—(Cheers.) His
Lordship particularly alluded to the labours of Mr.
Brooke in reforming the Malays, who when he went
amongst them were in the most lamentable state of
ignorance and immorality, but left by him industrious,
moral, and religious.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BROOKE said he could not adequately express
his sense of the honour conferred upon him, but he
considered it an epoch in his life to go into so august
a company, and to be received as a guest at the table
of the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the
world. If any efforts he had made in distant lands
were deserving of approbation, he was more than re-
paid by the toast which had been just drunk and the
praises of his own countrymen.—(Cheers.) He beg-
ged to be allowed to state that his opinion of the Ma-
-1 lays was different from that expressed by those who
were r

them as abounding with bad qualities.—(Cheers.) He
was sure he was ruled by pure intentions in all that
he had undertaken and performed, and by the same
steady principle he was convinced he should continue
to be guided.—(Cheers.)
Sheriff CURITT returned thanks for his brother
Sheriff and himself.

The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the three
young Polish Princes with whose company he was
honoured.
Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART returned thanks for
his Noble Friends, who felt it a high compliment to
be so distinguished by the Chief Magistrate of the
a
city to which their unfortunate country was so much
indebted, in the presence of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR said he rose with infinite plea-

never yet been seen.
THE LATE BRUTAL MURDER AT CARLISLE
DrATu or TUE MURDERER.— We last week gave the
particulars of the inquest upon the body of Mary Ilanlin,
the wife of Peter Haulm, a travelling 's potter," who died
from certain wounds inflicted on her head by her hus-
band, on Saturday, the 25th of September. The pro-
ceedings before the Coroner were not concluded till
Friday afternoon, when a verdict of wilful murder was
returned against Hanlin. He was at that time in goal
suffering severely from erysipelas, produced by a blow
which it
