The Lord Mayor can speak for himself. He is
no automaton in the hands of a subordinate official.
The same tact and talent that made him the ac-
credited representative of a very important and
influential body—the Licensed Victuallers of the
United Kingdom—will also enable him to obtain
justice for the Corporation claims, whatever they
may be. He has invariably, throughout his career,
been a sincere and consistent Liberal. We shall
not, however, at present dwell on this point, or
cite the easy proofs thereof. At present his
important position puts every party effort out of
the question. He is to act for the 'nation, and more
especially for its capital, -without -reference to any
particular class or interest.

Her MAJESTY'S Ministers paid the just tribute of
respect to the new civic Sovereign. We believe
that few members of the Cabin et were 'absent on
the very interesting and important occasion. The
Premier was, of course, the party to detail, so far as
was deemed expedient, the view s and intentions of the
Government. He could not take the words from
her MAJESTY'S lips, or explain clearly and explicitly
Session. But he
the programme for the next
could fairly expatiate on our political relations,
both at home and abroad; on our domestic and
foreign prospects ; and these are so very satis-
factory, that we need scarcely refer our friends to
the speech of the Noble Earl, which will be found
in another part of our impression.
There_ is one statement, however, to which we
must call more particular attention. He declares
that he is actively, daily, and asaiduouBl7

If our knowledge of the globe denies us the
hope of any more regions to discover, we are cer-
tainly opening up to view much that has hitherto
remained impenetrable in many a remote island and
continent. No future navigator, however gifted or
adventurous, can set forth in unknown seas, like
COLUMBUS, in quest of a new world, hitherto un-
dreamt of by geographers. No aspiring sea cap-
tain can any longer speculate upon the possibility
of emulating JAMES COOK, in finding what the
historian of Europe, by a marvellous Scotch bull,
has called (vol. I. tout. p. 9), a " fifth hemisphere."
Our globe has again and again been circum-
navigated. Sailing vessels and steam vessels,
paddle wheels and screw propellers have put a
girdle round the earth as completely, though per-
haps not so swiftly, as PUCK the lyric Mercury.
Fairyland has been banished from the earth by
the researches of the hydrographer. PRESTER
JOAN has been banished from his dominion. El
Dorado has resolved itself into a gold digging. We
have lost at once the Ultima Thule and Atalantis.
There are only a few icy regions still remaining to
be penetrated in the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
Even the North-West passage has been traversed,
thanks to Sir ROBERT ITCLURE. Not another
undiscovered island remains anywhere upon which
a second SELKIRK could be shipwrecked—to be
monarch of all he surveyed, to cloth himself in
skins, be startled.by savage footprints, to pursue par-
rots, and eventually have some new DEFOE for his
biographer. A glance at one of the latest editions
of MERCATOR'S Chart will show that hardly any-
where on it are any longer discernible those
vague spots, left dubiously to conjecture, in
which poets might place the fabled regions of
Tempe, Arcadia; and the Hesperides—or the wilder
haunts of the Cyclops, the Centaurs and the
Anthropophagi. Besides the eternal wintry
scenes already alluded to, here at the North Pole,
there at the South Pole—there are still, it is true,
parts of two or three of the Great Continents. But
even these are being fast penetrated. Central
Africa is being laid open by the daring researches
of Dr. LIVINGSTONE. Central North America has
promise for, as of not only being traversed, but
colonised and cultivated by means of the inter-
course soon inevitable between Canada and Co-
lumbia. So, too, will it be at our antipodes, over
the whole of the interior of that vast island, or
rather continent, of Australasia, by means of the
intercourse to be ultimately established between
points as remote from each other as Port Philip
and the Gulf of Carpentaria, as Shark Bay and
Port Macquarie. A spirit of commercial enter-
prise is at length abroad, such as will, in the
natural course of things, render our traders as
familiar with the centre of Papua and of Borneo as
they must soon become with the heart of the two
great islands of New Zealand--sEahei Nomane,
and Tavai Poenamoo. Let it be recalled to mind
for a moment what have actually been the achieve-
ments in this way effected by Anglo-Saxon enter-
prise within the brief intervals of this last twelve-
month. Scarcely had the satisfactory close of our
last rapid and successful war with Persia given us
the security for more friendly intercourse with the
inhabitants of Teheran and Ispahan, of Bagdad
and Bassora, than the triumphal termination of
our second great conflict with Chini, has obtained
for us a substantial guarantee that our civilising
influences may now be enabled to advance beyond
the frontiers of the Celestial Empire, from the
Yellow Sea to Mongolia, from the Gulf of Ton-
quin to Thibet. And no sooner have glad tidings
to this effect reached our shores than they are fast
followed by what is almost more startling, and in
some respects scarcely less satisfactory intelligence
—news, that is to say, of the pacific treaty recently
entered into by Lord ELGIN with the Japanese.
Hitherto it has been familiar, even to that
wonderfully accomplished ignoramus (supposed to
know nothing, expected to know everything)—the
Schoolboy—that Japan, during all these past cen-
turies, has remained almost more exclusively than
even China itself under a sort of taboo to the rest
of the civilised world. Advisedly we say the
civilised world ; for the Japanese, though cut off
from intercourse with their fellow creatures, have,
during many past generations, been very far re-
moved from a state of barbarism. It would be
ridiculous to doubt the fact of their being in a
manner highly civilised—to entertain a like doubt
in regard to the long-vanished Etrurians. And
now, for the first time in the history of the two
countries, there is to be a permanent, recognised,
organised intercourse between England and Japan.
Diplomatic agents are to be exchanged between
them. A Japanese ambassador is to reside at
London, an English Ambassador at Jeddo. There
is to be perpetual peace and amity between her
Britannic :NIAJESTY and the TYCOON of the Japanese.
The principal ports of Japan are to be opened to
British commerce Hakodadi, Kanagow a, and
Nagasaki on the Ist of July, 1859 ; Nipon on the
Ist of January, 1860 ; Hiogo on the Ist of January,
1860. Both in Japan and China Christianity is
henceforth to be recognised and respected. This
remarkable treaty between the English and the
Japanese—a treatry comprising within it many
other important articles—was signed on the 26th
of August, 1858. It is written in English, in
Dutch, and in Japanese. The version in Dutch is
to be regarded as the original, from which the two
others are translations. It is to be ratified within
one year from the date of its signature by the
contracting plenipotentiaries. It will take rank
assuredly among the word's most notable docu-
ments. It is the latest and not by any means the

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY.
By Imperial decrees Rear-Admirals Lugeol and
Penaud have been promoted to the rank of Vice-
Admiral, and Capitaines de Vaisseau Paris and Du
Bouzet to that of Rear-Admiral. Also, Vice-Admi-
ral Odet-Pellion has been named Prefect of the 2d
Maritime Arrondissement at Brest, and Vice-Admi-
ral Lugeol to the same post for the 4th Maritime
Arrondissement at Rochefort, in the room of Vice-
Admirals La Place and Montagnies de la Roque,
who have been admitted to the section of the
reserve.
By decrees in the Moniteur the number of Coun-
cillors of State on ordinary service hors sections is
increased from 15 to 18, and MM. Pelletier, Secre-
tary-General of the Ministry of State ; Gautier,
Secretary-General of the Ministry of the
Household of the Emperor ; Cornuau, Secretary-
General of the Ministry of the Interior ; and
Serveux, Secretary-General of the Ministry of
Finance, have been named to complete the
latter number, there having been one vacancy.
The Moniteur also publishes a decree naming five
jndges and two supplementary judges to form the
Mises en Accusation of: the High Court of Justice
for the judicial year 1858-59 ; and the same num-
ber for the Chambre de Jugement of the same
court. The nominations are all made among the
judges of the Court of Cassation. Another decree
makes sundry promotions and nominations in the
magistracy in different parts of France.
A military friend writes from Corunna, under
date the 2d of November :
" We have just been favoured with a visit from
the midshipman son of the Queen of England,
Prince Alfred, accompanied by an English military 1
officer and the Rev. Mr. Luke Onslow. The ,
Euryalus, Captain Tarleton, in which the Prince
is, as I understand, proceeding for a cruise in
the Mediterranean, put into Ferrol last night,
and remained there while his Royal Highness
came over here in the Spanish war steamer Santa
Teresa. As his arrival at Ferrol and his inten-
tion to come here had been telegraphed, the
garrison was put under arms, and he was received
at landing with all the honours due to his rank.
The Captain-General of the province conducted
him in his carriage to the Palace, escorted by a
squadron of Dragoons, and preceded by a detach-
ment of the same.
" The Prince and his companions expressed a
great desire to see the ground on which the ever-
memorable battle Of Corunna was fought, and
which cost the life of England's most distinguished
General. The Captain-General accompanied his
Royal Highness and suite in open carriages to the
scene of that bloody fray, escorted as before, and
attended by all the Staff on horseback.
" The village of Elvina was the key of the posi-
tion which General Moore had taken up to protect
the embarkation of his army, and here it was he
lost his life as he was repulsing the desperate at-
tempts of the Fernch to get possession of it. Here
Marshal Soult had his name engraved on a rock
in testimony of his appreciation of the military
talents and courage of his antagonist in that
fierce fight. This village was of course a prin-
cipal object of attention, the more so as from
it may be seen what was on that day of
renown for the British army the entire field of
battle. The scene was rather imposing. A scion
of the Royal House of England come to visit the
spot where the bones of many, a British soldier are
mouldering, and to pay the tribute of his homage
Ito the great general who fell there gloriously. The
day was lovely, and the ground towards the city,
which is about three miles from Elvina, presented
a beautiful panorama. The bay, which. is
in the form -of a horseshoe, has the pretty
little city of Corunna, with its quaint old-fashioned
buildings and tall church spires, on .one shore,
while the other is dotted with country houses
half hid amid orange groves and vineyards, now
glowing beneath the bright beam of an autumn
sun. The Prince and his companions seemed
charmed with the whole scene, though, perhaps,
the memory of the past might have thrown some
shade over it.
" They afterwards visited the mausoleum erected
to the memory of General Moore, in the gardens of
San Carlos, and lingered for some time on the spot,
and then, to use the words of our countryman on
the same hero,
" They left him alone with his glory:"
" The Prince and party returned to the Captain-
General's residence, and, after partaking of luncheon
left for Ferrol, and, still accompanied by his excel-
lency, returned on board of the Santa Teresa under
a Royal salute. So ended this interesting visit of
the English Prince to the resting place of him who
fought and fell in defence of the Crown so nobly
worn by his Royal mother."
Snow fell the whole of Saturday last, and during
a part of the night, at Strasburg. Winter ap-
peared to have set in with great severity on Sunday,
but towards evening a south wind sprung up, and
the mass of snow in the streets was changed into
a mass of mud.
Snow fell at Lyons likewise on Sunday, and con-
tinued on Monday, and dUring the night a smart
frost set in. A violent north wind, with intense
cold weather, was experienced at Marseilles on
Saturday. A great number of ships which were ap-
proaching the harbour were caught in the gale and
forced to take refuge in the ports of Cassis and La
Ciotat. A large lugger which sailed from Marseilles
in the morning was cast on the rocks near the Ca-
talans, where it was dashed to pieces. The crew
saved themselves in a small boat attached to the
lugger.

A letter from Smyrna of the 24th ult., in the
Presse d' Orient, gives the following details of the
accident which attended the arrival of the Curacao
steam frigate at Smyrna, on board of which vessel
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had taken his passage :
—" At the moment when the frigate was entering
the outer roadstead, an Austrian sailing vessel was
leaving, bound for Trieste. The Curacao ran into
this vessel, carried away her bowsprit and mizen
mast, and stove in her bows. In disengaging her-
self from the Austrian ship the frigate grounded
on the Hermus sandbank and stuck fast. The
English Consul at Smyrna, on hearing of the acci-
dent, waited on Rear-Admiral Clavaud, command-
ing the French squadron in the Levant, and
requesting him to send assistance. The application
was immediately acceded to, and the Eclaireur
steamer was ordered to the spot, but as yet she had
not been able to haul the frigate off. The Austrian
vessel was towed back into the harbour by the

MB. BRIGH2"S SPEECH AT Elk

MINGIIA3.f.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In a leader of your paper;of the sth inst.,
you invited attention to a communication from
" An Old Soldier and Politician," and on perusal I
find him surprised that Birmingham, of all other

places, should send Mr. Bright to represent their
_ ..

interests in Parliament.

Depend upon it, Sir, the gunmakers of Birming-
ham know their own interests—they know that if
we had a Government whose avowed policy is peace

at any price, that we would find ourselves con-
stantly at war, thus securing for themselves, along
with the profession to which your gallant corre-
spondent belongs, a monopoly of the foreign trade
of the three kingdoms.
Your gallant correspondent concludes by im-
puting to Mr. Bright an outrage of his feelings
and opinions by asking the suffrages of the
gunmakers of Birmingham ; and this compels
me to stand as. counsel in defence of

Bright; and as it is the custom of counsel
to consult the interests of, and not their
clients, and I will not depart from the general rule,
what I am about to add in defence of Mr. Bright

is sufficient, I am sure, to justify any enlightened
jury in Great Britain in acquitting him of the grave
charge made against him. The defence is, that
these very men, these gunmakers, &c., are instru-
mental in maintaining peace, by constructing can-
nons, swords, rifles, &c., which are then put into
the hands of our gallant soldiers, and sent on
board our wooden walls ; and if we had enough of
these, and men to use them, and ships to put them
in, would we not then have peace, not at any price,
but at a reasonable yearly expenditurd ? And what
nation is there that would then dare to engage in
war with us ? Or, if we had had an army and
navy worthy of Britain before the outbreak of the
Russian war, would not the £100,000,000 been
saved, and the still more precious 40,000 lives, and
all the other sad consequences of that war, so ably
described by Mr. Bright himself, have been spared
.to us? I would ask any jury of Englishmen(or Scotch-
men either), your gallant correspondent, or I would
even ask Mr. Bright himself to acquit himself of
the charge of having outraged his feelings and
opinions by asking the suffrages of the gunmakers
of Birmingham, seeing that his avowed creed is
" Peace at any price."
I would take- this opportunity of giving my as-
sumed client an advice gratis—an advice which, if
he takes it, he will gain the great object he has in
view, to stand as the champion of the labouring
man in the House of Commons. I advise him to
inquire into the cause of the panic that we had this
time last year, when so many thousands of. work-
men were thrown out of employment, or on half
time, in every large town in the country, and when
we were only saved from national bankruptcy by
the breaking of the law. Let Mr. Bright set about
it in earnest, and inquire into the working of the
currency laws, and it is possible that he might be
the means of saving the country from another panic,
by casting his oratory into the scale of the currency
reformers, and weighing. up tte bullionists, who
are at present wallowing in wealth screwed from
the very life's blood of the working man. I will
feel obliged by your inserting the above in your
valuable journal, and I am, sir, yours respectfully,
A SCOTCHMAN.

GAROTTING IN DALSTON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

THE LORD MAYOR'

It was a mistake to pit Gog and Magog under
lock and key. If we are to have, an animal Show
i boys and
in the streets of London whr
shC:uld it not be -a
'tti'
good one ? If the interests of the 11 t. ,
servant-maids are to be considered on eac2. suc-
cessive 9th of November, why not give them a
downright good Show,—one which, if inferior
to the entertainments at Astley's, might be consi-
dered equal to a good Surrey spectacle ? There
really was no reason why the traffic of the town
should be interrupted for the sake of such a dull
prosaic affair as the Lord Mayor's Show of rester-
day. The little boys saw through the deceit, and
could not be reconciled to the absence of the accus-
tomed splendour. What was it to them that the
Beadle of the Worshipful Company of Tallow-
chandlers ventilated his dignity in the East wind ?
or that the Watermen who followed that remark-
able functionary held up to a none-admiring world
" the banner of the arms of Mr. Alderman Fern-
comb ?" and " the banner of the arms of Mr. Alder-
man Humphery ?" We have seen far more splendid
results achieved by a first-class advertising van.
Messrs. Farneomb and Humphery—most respect-
able gentlemen, no doubt—could scarcely hope that
the world cared to be indulged with a sight of their
coats of arms. Gratifying as such a display might
have been to persons of well-constituted mind it
was difficult to discern in the crowd yesterday any
emotion than disappointment. The procession
was merely an aggregate of such units as we have
already described. In place of the tallowchandlers
you had the wheelwrights ; in place of the wheel-
wrights the plasterers ; in place of the plasterers
the innholders, each section preceded by its appro-
priate Bumble, and each displaying " banners of the
arms of Messrs. Aldermen So-and-So." As a spec-
tacle, then, the thing was a decided failure, and
therefore we say again, if we are to have a show, let
it be a good one of its kind. Let us have the men
in armour, especially the men in chain armour,
from the Tower—the champions, the squires, and
every adjunct of the olden times preserved in such
a way as would satisfy the critical manes of poor
Charles Lamb. It may be a question if it be worth
while to interrupt the business of the principal
thoroughfares of London even for so gorgeous a
result as that of an ancient Lord Mayor's Show,
but surely such a miserable display as'that of yes-
terday can scarcely 'find a defender. Something
might have been . said in favour. of the former
pageant as a relic of the olden time—as a spectacle
intertwined with ,the childish associations of so
many excellent people that the 'suppression of A
might have caused annoyance and disappointmenti.
This was all very well as long as the Shaw retained
any feature of antiquity ; 'but now that it has been
carefully divested of all pretensions of this kind this
argument fails. We much doubt if the Society of
Antiquaries, or even a grand jury of London goinanef
would vote for the continuance of the Lord Mayors
b,Show if it is to remain what it was but yesterday
as it draggled uncomfortably along the streets in
the cheerless east wind. The very pickpockotS
were not in good heart.
The Show, however, is but:the shadowy precedent
of the substance, which is the Mayoralty itself. It
is a very remarkable instance of the vitality of such
institutions in England that the Civic Mayoralty
should have survived the many assaults which it
has encountered. .Just as it is on the point of do-
' struction some accident ever intervenes to give it a
fresh spell of life and a little longer tenure of power.
At the beginning of last session it szemed ready for
its doom, and, had not an Italian gentleman taken
it into his fervid head to assassinate the Emperor
of the French, it may be questioned if the bannero •
of .Messrs: Aldermen This and That would yester"
day, have been given to the breeze. There was
the report of the commission, and the bill of the
Home Secretary, and all the machinery in gear to
put' the Lord Mayor's house in order, when the
Ministerial Change occurred, and the evil day was
again put off. It will be curious to watch
the action of Lord Derby's Government in this
Matter when they have had time to forget the
extravagant compliments of last night. Is Mr.
Walpole prepared to follow in his predecessoie
footsteps, and to bring in a remedial bill in pur-
suance of the suggestions of the commission ?
he ignore those suggestions altogether, treat the
report of the commissioners as a nullity, and lees°
it to another hand to carry it out ? This would be
a terrible confession of weakness—as, on the other
hand, it is a great proof of strength when a Minister
is fennel willing to deal with an abuse which can
still number influential defenders. The evils of the
present system are universally acknowledged, save
by the few persons who are directly interested
in
its support; but, though they are few, they are
in earnest. The story of the London Corporation
is just that of the East. India Companyy, upon 21'
smaller scale. True it is that the Mayor and his civic
councillors do not assume to wield the authority of
the nation over millions of the Queen's subjects, but
they do assume to be the chief municipal authors"
ties in this huge metropolis, whereas the true area
of their jurisdiction is but a very small section
of it. The consequence is, either that the Lord
Mayor and Corporation affect to represent about
one million and three-quarters of people whom thee
do not represent ; or, if not, seven-eighths of th
population of London are without municipal autho-
rity altogether. If the exercise of such authority
be good for one-eighth part of London, why should,
it not be good for all ? If it be useless for seven'
eighths of London, why should it be suffered t°
exist in the remaining eighth? It is preposterous
to speak of the Lord Mayor—as the guests at the
Guildhall always speak—as the Chief Magistrate °I
London. He is simply the Chief Magistrate °f
what may, speaking-comparatively, be taken as ea
inconsiderable section of it. It might be unwise
to vest in the hands of any one individual the,
chief authority over the whole of' London ; but
is clearly absurd to consider the magistracy of the
City as the magistracy of the whole town. We real
want more Mayors and Corporations, or we may
want no Mayor and Corporation at all ; but ter
,"
tainly we do not wantlto reverse the old geometric'
axiom and solemnly affirm that a part is greater
than the whole.
It is clear enough, even as far as the City is coot
cerned, that the Mayor and Corporation are De"
elected from the most eminent citizens. There,
presentatives of the liverymen of London they me,:
be, but they are not the representatives of the grea;
merchants and bankers---.of the intelligence an
wealth of the City of London. It may be said the,
gentlemen of that class do not care to be trouble
with civic dignities or oppressed with civic respea'
sibilities. Perhaps not, as matters stand at present
but with a change of circumstances their sick
might be very seriously modified. Again, it should
be remarked that the City of London is perhaps
most uninhabited quarter of this great metropolt'
if by the term " inhabit " be meant to have one
home in -0-particular place. The banks, and ware
houses, and-counting-houses of London are desert,
after usiness hours. They, are left in the chargi
of a few caretakers. The citizens of London are 0,,

town where their families reside, and where the
own non-worldnghours are invariably spent. 11',.
