SOYER'S SYMPOSIUM

A most interesting as well us elegant entertainment
took place at Gore House, on Saturday Fist. A committee
was recently formed in Paris, under the auspices of M.
Emile de Girardin, for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses of fifteen of the most approved French ouvricrs to
London to inspect the productions of industrial skill
collected within the Crystal Palace; and to these intelli-
gent gentlemen M. Soyer extended his hospitality on
that day. Several English guests were likewise invited
by the Amphitryon to meet these visitors from the
Parisian to the English metropolis. Of the recktrch6
nature of the dinner suffice it to say that M. Soyer
evinced his highest talents on the occasion. Tho only
drawback was the absence of M. do Girardin, who was to
have occupied the chair, but was compelled to depart
for Paris in the morning. A letter from that emi-
nent journalist to M. Soyer was read in the
course of the evening, expressive of the profound
regret which he experienced from this unavoidable ab•
sence. The presidential post was very ably sustained
by Mr. Henry Vincent, who took the chair precisely st
six o'cleck. After dlikner the loving cup went round, a
ceremonial which seemed equally to surprise and delight
the foreign guests.

The CHAIR➢ I. then proposed " II(r Mt jes'y the
Qdecia arid his Royal Highness Prince Albtrt, ' obsery
lug that although never disposed to pay ti.:;tery to great
peisonages, he felt bound to say that the domestic virtues
and encouragement of the arts evinced by that illu,tricus
pair had justly endeared Ilium to the atlections of all
classes.

Drunk with three times three and repeated cheers, in
which " Messieurs les etningers" enthusiastically par
tici veted.
The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of the evening,
which he prefaced by an address in the French lan-
guage, in which he highly eulogised the exertions of the
Peace Congress, and concluded by saying that next to
the efficacy of Christianity in promoting the happiness
of men came the spirit of national fraternity—the noblest
example of which was to be found in the alliance and
sympathy of France and England—" Aux ouvriers do la
France."
The VIcE-PRESIDENT, M. Larchet (President des
ouvriers). acknowledged the toast, and gave " Les tra-
vailleurs Francais aux travailleurs Anglais."
" The union of the people of the North and South"
was next proposed by M. POTONIE, commercant de Paris,
who spoke as follows :
" Ce won travailleurs Francais, trouve deja un echo
favorable dans l'enthousiasme qui nous anime depuis les
quelq' jours que vous etes a Londres. Et en effet quels
peuples voisins, mieux que l'Angleterre et La France,
seraient capable de s'eatimer et de se comprendre non
par en depit, mais en vertu de leurs nuances diverses ?
L'Angleterre representant la civilization du nord, la
France representant la civilization du midi ; ici, le ter-
rain plus special des efforts, chez nous le terrain
plus special des jouissances. L'Angleterre sous
son climat brumeux, sous la pression de la necessite,
cette premiere institutrice des hommes, et avec cette
perseverance qui accumule les capitaux, arrivant ii des
resultats gigantesques ; la France, assis sur sea vigno-
bles, donnant libre carriere a l'imagination de ses
ouv-
riersetde sea artistes, et accumulant les produits de gout
qui sont aussi l'un des besoins be l'existence humaine—
a cheque nation, Messieurs, son Genie et sa nuance. Et
de meme que le peintre, pour composer son chef d'oeuvre,
harmonise sur sa toile touter ses teintes, de meme la pro-
vidence a besoin de nuances humaines,et des oppositions
meme tranchees, pour devel opper les progres de la civilisa-
tion. Il est certain que le Francais, soldat sous l'empire, a
eu de la peine a ployer sa petulante activite sous les exi-
gences sedentaires de l'lndustrie: on a quelquefois songe,
mais cela n'est pas possible, i renvoyer aux travaux de
l'agriculture certaines ambitions, qui sont pourtant raison-
na bles. Esperous que notre Republique et ses hommes d'etat
future ouvriront d cette ambition d' autres voles, et nous
permettront, i nous aussi, de devenir commerciants et
par consequent marina, l'exemple de nos vigoureux
voisins. Le commerce honorable, travailleurs de l'ln-
dustrie Parisienne! ouvrira des debauches a vos pro-
duits, des que certains de nos bents barons woudront
bien ne plus nous entrainer par des prohibitions inter-
nationales. Malgr6 cet egoisme le siecle marche a
1' union par la democratic, et l'Exposition Universelle,
c'est l'aurore du bien4 tre universel!—(Bravo.) Buvons,
Messieurs, a 1' union des peuples du Nord et du midi,
et specialement de l'Angleterre et de la France.
This sentiment was duly honoured amidst vehement
applause.
The CHAIRMAN next rose to propose " The health of
M. Emile de Girardin, whose absence on the present
happy occasion was so sensibly felt.
In this tribute of respect to M. de Girardin, all pre-
sent, English as well as French, participated with equal
ardour.

M. LA.RCUET, amidst shouts of applause, demanded
the honour of a bumper for their esteemed host—a cit i-
zen of the two great nations of Europe, celebrated and
revered amongst men of taste in both countries.
This tribute to the excellences of M. Soyer was paid
with the accompaniment of nine times three, and when
the cheering had subsided, he expressed himself to the
following effect :
Mes chers compatriotes! Je ne saurais yens exprimer
combien je suis flatte de l'honneur quo vous venez de
me faire en me portant un toast. Je vous en remercie
de touts mon tune. L'occasion qui nous rassemble au-
jourdhui sur le solder l'autique Albion, nous la devons a
l'ami shit des peuples industrieux, au Prince Albert.—
(Bravo.) Et pour votre visit au Symposium, je la dois
;1 on digne personnage, l'ami des arts, des sciences, de
l'industrie, de l'ouvrier, et sourtout des pauvres. C'est
l'hommo du dix-neuvieme siecle, M. le Comte D'Orsay,
Tii m' a charge aujourdhui de vouz reccvoir chez moi,
comme it aurait desii cle faire lui nine. Malgi a que
j'ai su conserver autant que possible les rcminiscences de
cot amiable personnage, avant moi, habitait cette
&incur°, it no me rest° qu'un regret, c'est son absence.
Ainsi, vueillcz done, Messieurs, vous joindre A moi en
remplissant vos coupes, et porter une santce a l'homme
qui nous est 5i cher—au Comte d'Orsay:
The health of that accomplished nobleman, thus feli-
citously proposed, was drunk with lively demonstrations
of esteem.

M. kIERRE VINCARD (Secretaire des delegues des tra-
vailleurs Francais) next gave " Aux hommes du congres
de la pair, et aux dames Anglaises."
The CHAIRMAN responded to this toast, and proposed
the health of Mr. Fox (of the celebrated firm of Fox
and Henderson) which was received with immense ap-
plause.
Mr. Fox returned thanks in very happy terms. ile
accorded the highest praise to the many noble specimens
of French industry and taste in the Crystal Palace, and
expressed his conviction that the Exhibition would be a
great instrument in the promotion of the peace of the
world, a sentiment which obtained the cordial assent of
the meeting.
The last toast proposed, was the health of Mr. Vincent,
the Chairman, which was cordially honoured, and very
eloquently acknowledged. The company then adjourned
to partake of coffee on the balcony, whence they enjoyed
the beautiful coup (Vail of the brilliant illumination of the
grounds. The pleasures of the latter portion of the evening
were considerably enhanced by the vocal contributions
of a party of genuine Spanish minstrels in picturesque
costume. The leader of the troupe, who accompanied
himself on the guitar, excited a perfect furore by the ex-
traordinary animation which characterised his singing.
Shortly after eleven o'clock the guests, after partak-
ing of a stirrup-cup, bid adieu to their courteous host,
whose attentions had been unremitting throughout the
evening.
Altogether, the entertainment was of a delight-
ful character, and in the production of it M. Soyer gave
the highest satisfaction to his countrymen, and to all who
had the pleasure of being present.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Will you, through your columns, permit me to
ask when the " Jew question" is to be settled, and when
are London and its suburbs to be really represented?
The former has certainly not been so for some years. I
trust, however, that my native town—Manchester—will
at once speak out and say, that if a fellow-citizen (no
matter of what persuasion) be responsible on his alle-
giance to serve his Sovereign and his country in all the
offices incidental to his position as such citizen, and is
also authorized to vote at the election of a representative
to serve in Parliament—thus delegating to another the
right of legislation—why should he not also be enabled,
if chosen by a numerous and influential body of his
fellow subjects, to take a part in the making of those
laws by whichi himself and his fellows are and
must be bound. Why, I ask, should it be otherwise?
Having onerous and important duties to perform, why
should they not have the corresponding privileges?
During the session now rapidly approaching its termi-
nation, weeks—nay, months—have been expended in re-
pressing the aggressions of a foreign potentate, who
claims a temporal as well as spiritual allegiance from
English subjects. They are still (although recognising
these untenable claims) permitted to sit in the British
Parliament, and to act either as hereditary or elected
legislators. The Jews are subjected to no such in-
fluences; they have received the most substantial marks
of the confidence of their Sovereign—having been on
various occasions appointed to act in the time-honoured
and important offices of high-sheriffs and magistrates.
Why, then, should they be treated with greater harsh-
ness or more suspected than the Roman Catholics?
The country will not any longer stand this ridiculous
nonsense. The time has long since gone by for these
exhibitions of intolerance, and if the Government are not
prepared to assume a manly and straightforward part,
the sooner they make up their mind to retire from office
the better.
We have, however, still confidence in Lord John—
in his honesty, his purity, and his courage. Let him dis-
card the influences that have hitherto warped his better
judgment. Let him remember what Manchester did
in the olden time, when the Reform Bill was in danger.
I shall never forget the stern and unflinching resolution
of the awn of Manchester, and those who then acted thus
nobly will once and for ever insist upon en end being
put to all these religious anomalies.
No one can respect our glorious Constitution in_altlhiatns
elements—Sovereign, Lords and Commons—
d 2::-roperate
myself; but each must keepp. their p
together. The Lords have now bearded the people, and
y that may
they must be responsible for
arise. I hope and trust that theseny difficulties may not
be of a more formidable character than
,they have at
present any notion of.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—The sitting of Wednesday the 23rd was princi-
pally distinguished by the re-appearance in Parliament
of ono of the ablest and most indefatigable of the Pro-
tectionists, the new Member for Scarborough. And so
the thing is going. He will leave no stone unturned for
finding occasions of familiarising the House of Com-
mons and the public with the doctrines of the Protec-
tionist school, and accustoming all who are so disposed,
to set them down as unanswered and unanswerable.
And the accredited organs of the Free Trade school
will do all that is possible to play into his hands.
They have apparently taken a leaf out of the book
of that Free-Trader in war, who when his son pro-
posed to continuo the movement upon a beaten
enemy, cried " Boy, do you want to have us sent to
plant cabbages?" The press on both sides will follow
parallel courses; that is to say, one side will work with
might and main to extend the successes of its cham-
pions, and the other will support nothing and nobody,
but put its head into the bushes in hopes of the danger
passing by, as is the practice of the ostrich on the
African continent, and the sagacious collaterals of our
turkey-cocks on the American.
On Thursday exemplification of this system was pre-
sented in the debate on the Navigation Laws. The at-
tack and defence consisted almost entirely of combats
on details. There is nothing modern statesmen so much
abhor as a principle. If one side of the Rouse, for
example, were to advance, that the way to aid a leaky
ship was to bore a hole in the bottom, the other side
would meet it with statistical details, to prove that after
such an operation the water in the hold had not dimi-
nished. And if the assailants could discover that in
consequence of the leaky side being brought to wind-
ward, or any other reason, there had been less
water in the hold than for some hours previously,
they would proclaim triumphantly that the boring had
been the cause. Their opponents would possibly en-
deavour to rebut it by pointing out the reason of the
appearance. But the one thing which they and every-
body would utterly eschew and avoid, would be the
mooting of the question whether there was any rational
connexion between boring a hole and diminishing the
water. This would be too powerful an appeal to
human reason; it would be strong meat, fit for the
rude constitutions of the Free Trade Hall, but not
adapted to the more refined digestions of the House of
Commons.
On Friday Mr. Muntz carried his clause for requiring
a safety-valve on each boiler in steam-vessels; so that
our chance of being the boiled may be considered as
diminished. The argument of some of the officials ip
opposition to it did not appear to be so well considered
as usual; being, that it was not politic to take the re.
~
sponsibility of defining what was a safe steam-veil!:
and therefore it was not politic to enact that steam'
vessels should have two safety-valves instead of
honee:.
On the same day 137,0001. were voted out of t

DEATII FROM WRESTLING.—On Saturday Mr. W.
Carter,aar\ter, the coroner, held an inquest at the Duke of Suffolk
Brandou-street, Walworth, respecting the death of
~~'illiam Sayer, aged 25, who, it was alleged, had died from
violence. It appeared that the deceased left home on the
19th instant, and proceeded to the Lion Brewery tap, East-
lane, kept by Mr. Merrytield. The deceased and several
men sat in front of the bar, when the conversation turned on
the subject of wrestling. and subsequently the deceased was
thrown heavily to the ground by a man named Addy.
Cornish wrestler, who holds the belt as champion. The de-
ceased complained of some injury he had received by the
fall, and was taken home by two men, where he died on
Wednesday. Mr. J. Adolphus, who had attended the de-
ceased, said there were no appearances of external violence,
and the a
fall or other immedviolence.
The
