PRESENTATION OF A GOLD CUP TO

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

On Monday, the Penny Tribute Deputation, with Sir
John Key, Bart., at their head, waited upon the Lord
Chancellor, to present him with the gold cup subscribed
for by 300,000 of the people of the metropolis. At twelve
o'clock the deputation set off in carriages, from the
Committee-room, at the Crown, in Redcross-street, Crip-
plegate.
Upon arriving at the house of Lord Brougham, in
B rkeley-square, Sir Jot-ix KEY presented the cup to his
Lordship, who received the deputation with the most
marked respect and kindness. Sir John said that he came,
deputed by an immense portion of the population of the
metropolis, to present to the Lord Chancellor a symbol of
their gratitude for his Lordship's powerful advocacy of the
R form Bill, the benefits of which the whole nation would
so long experience. The deputation deeply regretted that
they were prevented by his Lordship's illness from pre.
senting him before with this testimony of their feeling of
admiration for his character; but they rejoiced to find
that be was restored to health, and ahle to resume those
i ibours which had already been so serviceable to the cow.
munity.
The LORD CHANCELLOR assured the deputation that it
was wholly impossible for him to do justice to his feelings,
by any attempt to express himself on this occasion.
Nothing could be more delightful to him than to receive
from so large a number of his countrymen, so handsome
a testimony of their approbation of his public conduct. Be
felt, too, most grateful for the manner in which the Worth
Patron of " the tribute" had prefaced the favour which
they had thought proper to confer upon him, and he de-
clared that his Majesty's Government were resolved to
pursue the course which had already gained for them the
approbation of the people. He felt that, by his perfect
recovery from his late illness, he was enabled to resume
his duties, and nothing should damp his exertions, in con-
junction with those of his colleagues, to secure the pros-
perity of the people upon an impregnable basis.
Mr. DENNY, the Chairman of the Committee, then
pointed out the various emblematic figures on the cup,
and made his Lordship laugh heartily when he came to
the Bae.chanalian figures round the top. " When your
Lordship," said he, " quaffs the generous wine out of this
bowl, to which so enormous a mass of your fellow-sub-
jects have contributed, in testimony of their admiration of
your virtues and abilities, you will he pleased to think to
the continuance of that liberty and those privileges which
you have been so mainly instrumental in restoring."
" You may depend upon it," said the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, " that my first thought, when I raise it to my
lips, shall be the happiness of the great community from
which I receive it, as a pledge of their great kindness and
esteem."

The deputation then returned to the Committee-room
at the Gown, where they dined.
Sir JOHN KEY, Bart., in the Chair.

In the cour•e of the evening Sir John Key received a
eommanication from the Secondary's-office, stating that
the wi It hal been received. Considerable cheering followed.
Alter the usual toa•ts were drunk—

Sir JOHN KEY took the opportunity to allude to the
calumnies vented against him during another contest in
which he had been engaged, and which the time of elec-
tion was calculated to produce in all the atrocity of the
most barefaced falsehood. He warmly praised the whole
conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, and trusted that not
one candidate would be returned at the approaching elec-
tion who was not determined to give his support to men
who had shown themselves so worthy of it.
The evening passed in the greatest hilarity.

PARIS, DEC. I.—An incident occurred at.
the close of yesterday's debate from which a hostile meet-
ing between two distinguished members of the Chambers
was threatened. Admiral de RIGNY, the Minister of
Marine, contradicted, in rather an abrupt way, an asser-
tion of M. °DILLON BARROT, which was to the effect
that the resoluien of the Council of Mmisters for placin
Paris in a state of siege was taken on the evening of the
oth of June. Admiral de RIGNY affirmed th it it was on
the morning of that day. A great deal of importance
was attached by each party to that difference of time, as
Ministers pleaded the state of the capital in the night of
the sth for proclaiming martial law on the morning of the
6th, though nothing was known of the ordinance until
it appeared in the MOniteur of the ith. Now, as all the
rioters had been taken or dispersed, and tranquillity was
every where restored by the evening of the 6th, the op-
position laboured to show that the Government had not
even the excuse of continued riots for taking on themselves
the responsibility of proclaiming martial law. M. Onie •
reoei BARROT declares that the KING himself assured him
and M. LAYFITTE, when they waited on his Majesty to
advise moderation in the course which the Government
wad about to pursue, that it was oely on the evening of
the G.h, that the ordinance was resolved span. The
friends of Admiral Ric NY and M. ()DILLON B4RROT have,
1 understand, seaceteeded in preventing a hostile meeting,
and procuring an exchange of satisfactory explanations.
Count OFALIA, the Spanish Ambassador to
the Court of France, has just been r.elled to Madrid to
take the post of Prime Minister, with the p,f,irtefeuille of
the Home Department. His predecessor, AL CAIA)IARpE,
has lately landed on the shores of France, baying effecte
his escape from Minorca, where, lie had been exiled and
imprisoned. He is completely destitute, having no money,
nor even clothes. The French Government has, I believe,
transmitted orders to the Prefect of the Departmeet where
he is at present that his wants should be pruvided for.
M. CALOAIARDE does not speak a word of any lan-
guage but Spanish, and would be greatly at a hiss for
_means to earn his livelihood in any foreign country. He
s known to have been no friend to the French during his
Ping carer of authority and favouritism, but luckily for
him his ettnity has been powerless, and it is to be hoped
that he will horn in future that it was unjust. lii our
diplomatic circles here it is affirmed that before M. ZEA,
the newly appointed Minister for Foreign Affdre, lilt
London for Madrid, Lord Pat—Nees-rote declared to him
th it the British Government would take no part whatever
;et die internal affairs of Spain, and bad instructed Mr.
ADDINGTON, the British Minister at Madrid, to remain a
mere passive spectator of events.
Letters from Madrid of the 23d ult„ received
this morning, state, that the ex-Minister CALOMAROE is
to be impeached and tried fee high treason. Gen. CRUZ
had been appointed Commander i.e-Chief of the Royalist
Volunteers, which corps is to be re formed, and their
arms deposited in the respective ordnance see es of the
provinces. This eorps, it will be recollected, we the
chief reliance of the Apostolic party. It was composed
chiefly of tradesmen, was nearly 200,000 strong, and is
supposed to have cost the Spanish Goyernment 1,000,000/.
sterling annually. It is proposed for the future to abstain
as much as possible from the employment a this force.
The Duke of Menne* CELL, and 12 other grandees, who
had been deprived of their gold ring*, in consequence of
their manifestation of liberal principles during the existence
of the Constitutional system, have been restored to their
honours, tine have been all well received by the KiNq.
The liberal and able Mirquis of SANTA CRUz has been
named Grand Major Domo ; but wilt is more important
than all, as regards the progress of political regeneration
in Spain, is, that the decree for the assembling of the
Cortes has been already signed by the KING ; the neces-
sary formalities for completing the elections would be gone
through by the middle of January. The KING has, fur-
ther, app noted a new Council of State, to consist of 14
Members, over which he will himself preside, and through
which are to be submitted to the Cortes the different
measures of reform meditated by the Spaniska Govern •
ment; among which are to be numbered the consolidation
of the whole public debt, a revision of the criminal code,
and some new arrangements with respect to church pro-
perty. Count OFALIA has been appointed Minister of
the Interior.
