Earl MANY ERs said he had, with extreme regret, to
inform the meeting that his son, Lord Newark, who was
to have presided over them that day, was, to his great
grief, prevented by ill health from attending. Such
being the case, he had requested their mutual friend,
Mr. Sherbrooke, to officiate as President in his place.
The company then adjourned to St. Mary's Church,
whither they were attended by the town bailiffs, bear-
ing the maces. After matins had been said, an excellent
and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. T.
Twells, rector of Gamston, near iletford, from Matthew
vi., 23, 24, 25 . At the conclusion of the service a col-
lection, according to annual custom, was made in aid of
the funds of the society, the amount received being
9014 10s. The plates were held by the Hon. Mrs.
Howard, wife of the Dean of Lichfield, supported by
his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, and Lady Georgian*
Clinton, supported by the deputy-president, Henry P.
Sherbrooke, Esq.
Tao Governors re-assembled in the County Hall

RAILWAY FR el zii LONDONIE
Last night Dr. B. F. Thompson delivered a lecture at
the St. George's (Hanover-square) Library and Reading
Rooms, on the manners and costumes of Oriental na-
tions, and on the proposed railway to India by the Eu-
phrates Valley. Having pointed out by means of
drawings and other illustrations the costumes of the Ta-
rious Arab tribes, and commented upon their
ties. he proceeded to point out on a large chart tot. proposed line of railway, the difficulties in theobcser-

Law:lw, Nov. B.—Cotton W e have had a fair
inquiry for cotton wool, and prices are a shade better. Sea
Island is still scarce and dearer. Two days ago a parcel of
East India, amounting to 2300 bales, was offered for sale by
auction. The sale went on with considerable spirit at a re-
duction of from %d. to d, as compared with terms going a
fortnight previously. Prices ranged between DAd. and 35sd.
per lb. About two-thirds were disposed of, and a parcel of
400 bales was bought privately after the sale. There is more
firmness in yarns and goods, and the downward tendency
has been arrested. Iron—The past week has been a very

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.
THE BANQUET.
The customary banquet took place in the evening
at Guildhall, which was brilliantly illuminated with
gas, and decorated with a variety of banners. Among
the company present were—Lord J. Russell, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis of Sails-
bury, the Solicitor-General, Lord D. Stuart, several
of the Judges, Queen's Sergeants-at-law, &c. It was
a remarkable circumstance that at this civic feast no
representative of a foreign power was visible, and the
consequence was that the usual toast of " the Foreign
Ministers" was on this occasion omitted.
At the conclusiou of the dinner, and after the loving
vup had passed round,
The LORD MAYOR rose and gave "The Queen,"
expressing a hope that she might long continue to
reign over a happy and loyal people.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next proposed, with some prefa-
tory observations, which the hum of general conver-
sation in the hall prevented us from catching, "The
Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales and the other
branches of the Royal Family."
The toast having been duly honoured,
Toe LORD MAYOR then gave the " Navy and
Army," observing that the country felt a deep sense
of obligation to those who had distinguished them-
selves in maintaining its honour both by land and
sea.—(Hear, hear.)
Admiral STEWART returned thanks for the navy.
Upon it the country might depend for the preservation
of its peace and independence; for the best security
for peace was our known ability to resent any ag-
gression.—(Hear, hear.) Many amiable minds Con-
ceived that the time had come when national quarrels
might be decided by a simple appeal to law and jus-
tice, and when there would no longer be any necessity
for the red coat or the blue coat, for the musket or
the great. gun ; but he thought and believed that the
great majority of people would think with him, that
that happy time had hardly yet arrived—the olive-
branch was not yet spread all over the world.—(Hear,
hear.) He would not mention in the present com-
pany the frightful word invasion, but, glancing at our
commerce and our colonies, he believed they would
be of opinion that, in order to preserve our colonial
empire, secure free commerce in distant seas, and to
show the humblest of her Majesty's subjects that he
was entitled to and should have his rights, the navy
must be supported. To that navy the nation might
safely commit the keeping of its dearest interests.
Sir G. PoLeocs returned thanks for the army.
The next toast was, " Prosperity to the City of
London and the trade thereof."
The LORD MAYOR afterwards gave the " Health
of the late Lord Mayor," and complimented Sir J.
Musgrove on the ability and impartiality with which,
during his tenure of office, he had discharged its
duties.
Sir J. MUSGROVE expressed his acknowledgments
for the manner in which the Lord Mayor had pro-
posed his health. He had endeavoured to perform his
duties with integrity and uprightness, and with a de-
sire to serve his fellow-eitivtns and his country, and
he hoped he had been successful in its efforts.
The LORD MAYOR proposed the "Health of Lord
John Russell, And her Majesty's Ministers"—(Cheers)
—end said be believed the Noble Lord did all in his
power to uphold and advance the interests of this
great country.—(Hear, hear.) He yielded to no man
in his attachment to the Constitution of this country,
and he believed that Constitution was well supported
by the present Administration.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said, he had to return his most
grateful thanks for the manner in which his health
had been proposed by his Right Hon. Friend the Lord
Mayor. He could assure the company that nothing
was more gratifying to his feelings than to receive
their approbation—(Hear, hear)—endeavouring as
her Majesty's Ministers did to merit that approbation
by following the strict line of their duty towards the
country.—(Hear, hear.) He could never visit that
corporation without a feeling of respect for a body
which for so many centuries had preserved the re-
spect and attachment of their fellow-cisizens.—
(Hear, hear.) It was impossible to regard without
reverence the corporation which had withstood all
the shocks of time—(Hear)—which had withstood
all the attacks that were made, whether by arms

under the Plantagenets or by judicial tyranny under
the Stuarts, and which had in every crisis preserved
its attachment to the liberties of the country—(Hear,
hear)—likewise, let him say, which had even in the
most perilous times known how to separate liberty
from license, and which, in the person of an early
Lord Mayor, had struck down the disturber of social
order.—(Hear.) Let him add, that it was impossible,
even in reference to the element of time alone, not to
look with respect on that body which saw the timbers
of the roof of Westminster-hall still fresh, and which
bad survived to behold and encourage the erection of
the Crystal Palace.—(Hear.) For these reasons,
therefore, he always looked with regard towards the
history of the city of London and its corporation, and
he was disposed to say, in the last words of Sir William
• Blackstone 's Commentaries, " Esto perpetua."
(Hear ) And now he would say a few words, and
but a few words, as to what he conceived should be
the main object of the policy of this country at the
present time. He believed that main object should be
peace. His opinion was, that there was nothing in
the present aspect of affairs which should induce this
country to separate a single hair's breadth from that
pacific line which it had adopted, and that not only
for its own welfare but for the welfare of the world.
The maintenance and the inculcation of peace was the
duty, interest, and policy of this empire; and let him
add, that he trusted that the Exhibition which had
been witnessed in the present year, bringing, as it had
done, various nations together, would have done much
to dispel the fallacy which at one time had great pre-
valence—that it was the interest and wish of England
to embroil other nations, and provoke dissensions
among them.—(Hear, hear.) He thought all nations
would now be convinced, that supposing we had no
regard for what was our duty, supposing we were not
animated by sentiments of humanity and benevolence,
still it was our interest as a nation to see other coun-
tries prosper, and that in their prosperity and their
advancement in wealth and civilization we should
find the sources of our own wealth and our own pros-
perity.—(ilear, hear.) He would therefore, even on
the score of interest, say, that while we maintained
peace, we were most anxious that all other nations
should make advance in material prosperity, and that
we might all flourish and advance together—(Heart
hear)—convinced that the more other nations flou-
risbed and the more they advanced, the more happy
and the more prosperous should we ourselves be, and
the more likely to continue with them in relations of
peace and concord. With these words, therefore,
thanking the Lord Mayor for the gracious manner
in which he had proposed the health of her Majesty's
Ministers, he would ask the indulgence of the com
pang while he proposed that they snould drink the
health of the Lord Mayor. His Right Hon. Friend
had undertaken a most arduous task ; he had suc-
ceeded to a mayoralty which h.hd been in itself a
pefied of great prosperity ; he would therefore have
a difficult task to perform. But he (Lord J. Russell),
knowing his ability, knowing his devotion to that
which he thought right, felt no doubt that he would
quit his mayoralty with increased reputation, and
be rewarded with the gratitude of his fellowe citizens.
Imeonclusion, the Noble Lord proposed " The health
of the Lord Mayor."
The toast was drunk with cheers.
The Loan Maroa returned thanks, and proposed
" The
._Marquis of Salisbury and the House of Peers."
Toe Marquis of SALISBURY having acknowledged
the toast,
The LORD MAYort gave " The Lord Chief Baron
and the Judges."
The LORD CHIEF BARON returned thanks for his
learned brethren and himself. They were gratified
by the compliment paid them, and he trusted that
they would long deserve the approbation of teir fel-
low-countrymen.—(Hear, hear.)
The LORD MAYOR next proposed " Sir C. Wood
and the House of Commons. '
The CIIASCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on the part
of the House of Commons and himself, begged to
return sincere thanks for the honour the company
had just done them. Their several constituents, to
whom they were responsible, had intrusted to them
the interests of this great and mighty empire. Among
those interests none were more important than those
centered in this great and mighty metropolis ; and
no people were more capable to pass a judgment on
their conduct than the enlightened and intelligent
Community which he had now the honour of ad-
dressing. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by
proposing the health of the Lady Mayoress, for which
the Lord Mayor returned thanks.
Some other toasts of a routine character having
been given the assembled company withdrew from
the tables.

TIIE SU

FR ANCE.

We read in the Cotz.it,,,u,',:onnel:—" Tile rap-
prochement of the different fractions of the majority
which appeared to result from the nominations
made in the bureaux was only apparent ; the
new entente cordiale only really exists between
the members of the Legitimatist fraction and that
of M. Thiers. We will give a proof of this to our
readers, who have already acquired a knowledge of
it from the nominations of the vice-presidents and
secretaries of the Assembly. The representatives of
the club of the Rue des Pyramides assembled on
Thursday, and the members of the bureau, MM. de
Broglie,de Montalembert,Odilon Barrot, and D aru, who
had been charged to take friendly steps with the club
of the Rue de Rivoli, gave an account to their col-
leagues of the result of their mission. That mission
our readers will remember had for object to rally the
dissident fractions of the majority, and to reform for
that purpose the old Parliamentary club of the Conseil
dr Etat. The Honourable Members announced to
that meeting, that they had met from their colleagues
of the Rue de Rivoli a reception so repulsive
that they were not able to accomplish their man-
date. They had opened their diplomatic mission
by demanding whether the club would accept the
candidateship to the vice-presidency of M. Leon
Faucher, and at the same time that of MM. Peupin
and Berard. This proposition was met by a positive,
it might be even called brutal refusal. The Legitimo-
Orleanist coalition replied, in order to cut the matter
short, that it was decided to remain in its exclusion,
and that it did not desire to come to any understand-
ing on any subject whatever with the club of
the Rue des Pyramides. The Honourable Gen-
tlemen who had undertaken the mission were
obliged to retire, and relinquish the idea of
carrying their attempt at reconciliation any
further. This proceeding caused a warm discus-
sion in the meeting. The question was started of
making the affair known by a sort of official note
emanating from the club and inserted in the journals.
This idea was opposed by M. Odilon Barrot, who re-
marked that it was deplorable enough that a schism
should exist between the Parliament and the Executive
power, without giving fresh uneasiness to the people
by letting the country see the divisions which exist
in the Assembly. The proposition of the questors
was aftewards discussed. That proposition, which
was invented in the club of the Rue de
Rivoli, and afterwards presented under the patronage
of the questors, was not even communicated to the
meeting of the Rue des Pyramides. It was unani-
mously resolved on by the latter to oppose it. The
conditions stipulated between the Legitimatists and
M. Thiers, as the price of the latter's co-operation,
was afterwards the subject of conversation. That
condition is said to have been the formal renuncia-
tion of the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville,
and the withdrawal of the proposition of M. Croton,
to which he engaged himself, declaring, moreover,
that if the author of it persisted in bringing it for-
ward at this time, he would speak against it.'

FRENCH OFFICERS AMONG THE KiIFIRS.

We find the following in the Akhbar of Algiers oa
the 30th ult. :—" In the war now raging at the Cape
of Good Hope, the Kafirs have received the support of
several foreign officers. Among the number is a
Frenchman named Parel, who served for a long time in
Algeria as sub officer of artillery, and was afterwards
in the same rank in the garde mobile, where he
displayed great bravery. After that corps was dis-
banded he embarked on board a vessel bound for
the East Indies, which put in at the Cape. On
learning what was taking place in that country, he
repaired to Lita-Kou, a Kafir town inhabited by a
powerful people to whom he offered his services,
which were readily accepted. He has since taken
part in several sanguinary affairs, and he has acquired
a great ascendancy in the country by his courage
and intelligence. He commanded the fortress of
Makov, an important position, which defended the
principal defile leading into Upper Kafraria. The
English troops have several times besieged this fort,
but after losing a great number of men, were obliged
to retire. This circumstance has given a high reputa-
tion to Parel, who will probably play a very important
part in the war in that country."
