THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY SCENE
IN FRANCE.
The visit of the market women and mechanics of Paris to the
President of France the day after he laid the foundation stone of the
market was one of the most remarkable episodes in Louis Napoleon's
life, so far as it has yet progressed. There numerous classes were,
by all accounts, admirably dressed. They did great credit to their
humble calling, but the climax was the deputing of the youngest
and fairest of their body, by the female portion, to salute the Presi-
dent in the name of the whole, and the grateful reception of the
blushing girl by the gallant Louis Napoleon. How many of the
ladles' shawls and cloaks, and how many of the mechanics' dresses,
were had of E. -MOSES and SON, can only be conjectured. All the
Papers concur in the tact that the whole were well dressed, from
which it may be assumed that a great many had taken advantage of
their trip to London, and purchased at the Monarch Mart, where at
this moment, notwithstanding the great daily demand, the reple-
nished stock exceeds in quantity, variety, neatness, elegance, novelty,
workmanship, and quality of material, the clothing of any other
concern in the known world; the variety of outer coats exeects
belief, and all the winter wants are anticipated by a supply of every-
thing that the approaching season requires. Messrs. E. MOSES and
SON earnestly invite the public to inspect their stock at the Monarch
-Mart, or at their noble West-End Establishment in Now Oxford-
street, for no description can do justice to the subject.

SIR J. GRAHAM AT ABERDEEN.
ABERDEEN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-Sir James
Graham being on a visit to the Earl of Aberdeen at
Haddo-house, the magistrates and town-council of the
city of Aberdeen resolved to collier on the Right
lion. Baronet the freedom of the city. To give the
honour as much of a public character as possible the
burgesses of the city were invited to a banquet in the
Town-hall, which came off this afternoon in a very
spirited style.
At twelve o'clock nearly 300 guests had taken their
seats, comprising the leading merchants, bankers,
shipowners landholders, and farmers of the town and
neighbourhood, and soon afterwards Sir James
arrived, accompanied by Lord Haddo and Lord
Claud Hamilton, and was received with much ap-
plause. The Provost and magistrates bad previously
taken the principal seats, and gerve the Right Hon.
Baronet a hearty welcome. The; chair was occupied
by Provost Henry, supported on the right by Sir
James Graham, Lord Haddo, the Hon. G. Grant,
Major Fraser, Captain Macpherson, Mr. Thorburn, of
Murtle ; and on the left byaLord Claud Hamilton,
M.P., the Hon. John Gordon, Oolonel Dansmure, of
the 42d Highlanders, Provost Blaikie, Mr. Thomas
Burnett, advocate, and Captain Adams.
The Earl of Aberdeen was, absent from in-
disposition.
The PROVOST having expressed his happiness at
seeing such a numerous and respectable company,
proposed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, after
which " Her Majesty's Ministers, and may all their
measures be for the good of the country," got a
flowing bumper and hearty cheers.
The PROVOST then called for a special bumper, and
said—My Lords and gentlemen, I have now an ho-
nourable and pleasing duty to perform, and I regret
that it has not fallen into better hands than mine to
perform it. Fortunately the toast does not require
much from me to make it acceptable to you.—
(Cheers.) You are well acquainted with Sir James
Graham. The talents he has displayed, the duties hel
has performed to his country, I shall not dwell on nor
enumerate, for they are well known to every one.
He has devoted a great part of his time to the public
duties of his country, and filled most important offices
in the State. His assiduity and business habits are
well known to all; and the affairs of the State he has
managed in a way conspicuous to all.—(Applause.)
The magistrates and Council of Aberdeen, in confer-
ring on him the highest honour which they have to
bestow, do so with delight and great pleasure.—
(Cheers.) I am quite certain that what the Town
Council are now about to perform will be acceptable
to the generality—l hope to all—the community.—
(Cheers.) And, when thus assembled to do honour
to the Right Hon. Baronet on my right, I cannot but
remember and call up the last occasion when we were
assembled in this hall to perform a similar duty to an
eminent statesman now no more; but on this mourn-
ful topic I will only say that none regret the death of
Sir Robert Peel more than the citizens of Aberdeen.
—(Hear, hear.) I shall now request Mr. Angus,
our town-clerk, to read the diploma, and then invest
the Right Hon. Baronet with the freedom of the city
of Aberdeen. Mr. Angus then read the following
diploma :

" Aberdoniin, kal. Octobr., anno millesimo
octingeutesimo quinquagesimo primo.
" Prafectus emterique Magistrates et Commune Conci

firm
Civitatis Aberdonensis
Honoratissimura Virum
Jacobam Robertum Georgium Graham,
Netherby,
Baronettum,
eundemque Senatorem Britannicum,
ut observantiam testarentur in hominem,
reipublica administrandie peritissimum,
civitato donaverunt.
Quapropter hocce diploma con:eribendum
sigilloque publico et Imam communis
chirographo muniondum curarunt,
JOANICS Arcs, Scrib. Com."
The burgess ticket was then tied round the Right
Hon. Baronet's hat with a flowing, red riband, and
on the hat thus invested being heaped to Sir James
he received it very politely, put it tn, and bowed to
the burgesses, amid much applause!
The PROVOST then continued--I have now, Sir
James, to congratulate you on being admitted a free
burgess of this city, and to wish you health and hap-
piness for many days.—(Cheers.) And now, my
Lords and gentlemen, I beg to dedicate a bumper to
the youngest burgess of Bon Accord, the Right Hon.
Sir James Graham.

The toast was drunk with three times three and all
the honours.
Sir J. Guanaxt then rose, and was received with
great applause. He said—My Lord Provost, my
Lords, and gentlemen, before I proceed to return
thanks to you in the language of gratitude, which is
always simple and unpremeditated, I owe you an
apology. I feel that an apology is due for having
called together at such an unseasonable hour so large
an assemblage of those whom I now rejoice to call
my fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) But the truth is,
before I was made aware of the highly valuable com-
pliment which was intended to be conferred upon me,
I had made arrangements which made it indispensable
that I should proceed to the south this afternoon ;
and, not thinking it respectful to refuse a request so
acceptable as that which the Lord Provost, magis-
trates, and Council made to me, I was compelled to
appoint this early hour for meeting you. Having
said so much by way
of apology,
the more difficult task of expressing
I now proceed to
n to you my thanks.
And, my Lord Provost and
gentlemen, I must, in the
first place, state to you the reason which brought me
to this county. It was to perform a duty of a pri-
vate nature which I owed, namely, to visit a much-
loved friend, little thinking of the honour which was
awaiting me here.—(Cheers.) And I must state
frankly, that, great as that honour is, I cannot think
it is of a political nature ; I rather hope that I see
around me many gentlemen who entertain different
opinions on political matters from myself, but who, on
looking back, will on the whole give me credit for
having to the best of my judgment, acted honestly,
though not approving of the whole of my conduct—.
(Cheers)—and who, therefore, pay me a tribute of
general approbation.—(Cheers.) I must say, in pass-
ing, that it is right, I think, that in judging of the
conduct of public men, its general tenor should be
alone considered, and if, upon the whole, the public
think that conduct praiseworthy, then it is but reason-
able that they should confer upon them their approba-
tion; because that approbation is a stimulus to pub-
lic men, in the discharge of their duties, to use their
utmost exertions to merit the praise of their fellow-
men, and particularly in countries where public bo-
dies have such power as in this, and where the ho-
nours which they confer, when properly estimated,
will be found to be as valuable as any which the So-
vereign can bestow. I have said that private friend-
ship brought me to this part of the country, and I
may frankly state that I hardly value less the intro-
duction to this city than I do the opportunity which
this meeting affords me of speaking of my valued
friend Lord Aberdeen. As he is not present, I
may therefore speak of him with the more freedom
—even in the presence of his son, because the
example of the father is worthy of being imitated
l e rt rheedless upon
men me.—(Cheers.)
are known
the more they are valued ; but it is the real test of
I
by that son.—(Cheers.) I must repeat that the
being introduced to the favourable consideration of
the inhabitants of Aberdeen I hardly value less than
them may
yubsliay complimentcthat e n e r a,
g cloynmerit that the better they are known the more they
are valued. The reputation of my Norle Friend is
of European celebrity. He conducted the diplomacy
of this country in difficult times,
and throughout
Europe his integrity and fidelity to his engagements,
his love of peace, and straightforward love of truth,
which characterise him, have won for him the
esteem of Europe.—(Cheers.) To Come a little
nearer home, in Parliament his abilities have won
for him a pre-eminent station in that branch of the
Legislature to which he belongs. Let us come
nearer home still; notwithstanding the honest dif-
ferences of opinion which must, in a free country
like this, everywhere prevail, there is, generally
speaking, a disposition to esteem that Nobleman as a
valued neighbour and friend who has the honour to
bear the name of the city, and who reflects honour
upon it and adds lu,tre to the name.—(Loud ap-
plause.) To come nearer still--I have seen my
Noble Friend among his tenantry, and there
I can bear witness that he is regarded
as the kindest landlord, most affable, and
most considerate ; and, if it was proper in a
public meeting of this kind to draw the veil from pri-
vate society, in his own family he receives the tribute
of the full affection of the heart.-- (Cheers.) To ob-
tain the friendship of such a man I conceive to be
an honour, and yet it is not singular on my part
that, acting along with him in public service, I
should have obtained that honour, for I do believe
that no man could act with him in the service of his
Queen without feeling for him the highest affection

and respect—(Cheers)—and I have, therefore, been
introduced to you under the most favourable aus-
pices. And perhaps you will allow me, as I am a
traveller, to state the impression produced upon me
by my hasty visit to this city and county of Aber-
seen. I have always had an opinion that agriculture
and commerce were natural allies; that they acted
and reacted upon and aided each other. But I never
happened to see this theory so practically illustrated
with so much Effect as during this short visit.—
(Cheers.) To begin with agriculture. I have never
nerni, in any part of Great Brita:n, better m magernent
than on my friend's estate, which I have just left. I
ani old enough to remember when I resided on the
border seeing Aberdeenshire and other cattle, lean
and in bad condition, passing to the south to be
put on better pasture, to prepare them for the
London market. How different is the case
now ! I paid a visit the day before yesterday to
a tenant-farmer, and there I saw 100 cattle tied up
and feeding for the London market. And feeding
on what? On oilcake from Russia and turnips
raised by guano from Peru.—(Cheers.) Commerce
and agriculture are thus going hand in hand together.
—(Cheers.) Well, these cattle which, even in my
memory, were as I have described them, are now im-
proved here by the best breeds until they have become
the very prime stock in our London market, and
compete with the finest cattle in the world. But
recently a tenant-farmer from Aberdeenshire com-
peted at Smithfield with all England, and carried off
more than one of the prizes.—(Cheers.) Looking
still at the mutual relation of agriculture and corn- '
merce, steam had, as it were, brought into subjection
sea and land, and where had these been more appa-
rent than here ?—(Cheers.) lam told that the sup-
ply to the London market hence entirely depended, not
long ago, on steam navigation. Now there is a land
competition, with the usual effect of reducing the
price of conveyance to London, and thereby the profit
is increased to the nearer of the stock and the cost is
also diminished to the consumer. Prices being re-
duced on the other side of the Tweed, is that advan-
tageous to Aberdeen ? I had the pleasure of getting
a hasty look at your beautiful harbour this morning,
when I saw some of the finest ships in course of being
constructed, and I was told that one builder had or-
ders for as many as he could execute in two years ;
and as regards the construction of those vessels you
are ahead of all others, for my friend the Gallant
Admiral Gordon has seen the English yachts beaten
by the Americans, and I am told that the
bow of their celebrated yacht is extremely like
that of the Aberdeen build—(Much applause.)—
and if there be a hint to be taken, I am sure my
fellow-citizens--(Hear, hear)—will improve upon it
and make the Aberdeen build yet more worthy of
your enterprise and intelligence, and that your ships
may continue in time to come, as they have in time
past, to carry our commerce to the most distant port
that is washed by the furthest sea. You, my Lord
Provost, made one allusion which I cannot pass over,
painful although it may be to speak of it on this fes-
tive occasion. I have looked over the list of my fel-
low•burgesses, and among them I see many distin-
guished names, among which are those of the great
moralist, Dr. Johnson, and the famed poet and dra-
matist, Sir Walter Scott. Time does not permit me
to go over the whole list, but the last two I cannot
pass over; the one is the name of a Prince, and the
other the name of my lamented and departed friend,
Sir It. Peel. The name of Prince Albert reminds me
that her Majesty and her Royal Consort are now re-
siding in the county of Aberdeen. I rejoice in this.
I rejoice that Scotland has won back from England
the presence of Royalty, and that each suceeding
season brings the family of the Sovereign to visit the
banks of the Dee. There is a purity and simplicity
in the Scottish character which is congenial to our
gracious Sovereign and her Royal Consort, and I
cannot but rejoice that they are training the future
Sovereign of these realms to love and respect the
• Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,
Land of the mountain and the flood;"
and, without vanity, but with honest pride, I am
proud to say—" Land of my sires."—(Cheers.) The
last name requires particular notice. You said, my
Lord, that none regretted the loss of Sir It. Peel
more than the citizens of Aberdeen. I am no excep-
tion, and I am proud to be included in the number,
and perhaps the youngest citizen is the one who
laments that loss the most. It would ill become me
upon this occasion to descant on the merits of that
distinguished person. Possibly in this company there
may be difference of opinion with respect to those
merits, but I am sure there is no one here capable of
cavilling at them, or who would wish to detract from
the abilities and character of him who is now unfor-
tunately taken from us. lam a living witness to the
singleness of purpose and purity of motives of that
distinguished individual, and of his earnest desire,
possessing the power he did, to further the interest of
the community. And, whatever others may say, I am
satisfied that the blessing of millions awaits the men-
tion of his name—(Loud applause)—inasmuch as he
was one of the greatest of Ministers and among the best
of men. His greatest reward is yet to come, for I firmly
believe that his reward will be eternal in heaven.
I will say one word, and one only, in reference to
myself. You, my Lord Provost, have been pleased
to speak of me in terms too flattering, and which are,
indeed, embodied in the burgess diploma which I have
now received—terms gratifying to
my feelings, be-
cause expressive of your belief that in my day I have
done some service to the public.--(Cheers.) It would
ill become me to speak with confidence either of the
past or of the future. The melancholy avant to which
reference has just been made teaches us the uncer-
tainty of life, what shadows we are, and what shadows
we pursue. My fate is uncertain ; but what is past
is well stored, and beyond our power. Nothing can
destroy what is done, and the future is in wiser hands
than ours. Whether I may be in Parliament, or in
any other public position, I cannot say ; but this I
will say, that I have not been indifferent to what
appeared to me to be the welfare of my fellow-coun-
trymen. From time to time I have recognised the
justice, from the extended means of information, and
the increase of intelligence among the people, that
they should have granted to them an extension of
their rights.—(Loud cheers.) I have acted on this
principle in past times. I shall make no pro-
mises in regard to the future, but, encouraged by
your approbation, I shall continue to pursue, regard-
less of party or personal considerations, that course
which I may think best fitted to promote the public
good.—(Cheers.) My maxim is this—to build as
improve,
but as possible on the old foundations; to
but not to destroy.—(Cheers.) I am satisfied that,
upon the whole, the people of this country enjoy more
real freedom, more real security of life and property,
than any other nation in the world.—(Great cheer-
ing.) Other nations seeking equality have lost real'
freedom ; this nation, without seeking equality, yet
possess it.—(Cheers.) I value our liberties at a high
price, and I would not risk their stability by any
rash change ; but from time to time, as experience
demonstrates imperfections, I would, cautiously, yet
firmly and decidedly, have them removed.—(Cheers.)
Though prepared to extend, I would not destroy that
ancient edifice which I have loved, revered, and stood
by all my life, and which is the envy of the world.
The Right Hon. Baronet resumed his seat amid
great applause, and, after a few complimentary speeches,
the company separated. Sir James then walked to
the Royal Hotel with the burgess ticket in his hat, and
was very cordially received by a large concourse of
spectators.
