FORTHCOMING 101)ISH JUBILEE.

. .
An extraordinary lordly and prelatical document,
issued by Cardinal Wiseman, appointing a jubilee, and
granting plenary'indulierce, was lesterdoy read pre-
vious to'the sermon at all Popish chapels throughout the
metropolis..

ecurtoous, refusal; the priest stating that "his Erni-
Ilene.," had desired that no one should he allowed to
copy it.' The foiloviing;is.from a short-hand note taken
at the time the *document was read; and 'although it
does not pretend- to-prccire 'verbal accuracy, owing to
the rapid delivery' of alb priest, it presents faithfully the

dio?eze.
" Hearth and benea'ction in the -Lord.

")The year, dearly beloved in Christ, is drawing to a
close without our having fully discharged our duty.
Upon the. 23d of. July last his: Holiness graciously
bestowed upon the bishops of the Church the power to
publish an extraordinary jubilee within the current yeer.
Our absence froni England and other circumstances have
prevented us from wow!. appointing a time for that im-
portant object. Nor do we regret that this delay should
have occurred, both because a mbre :fitting period will
thus come to be appeinted,' and because the fervent
prayers o► all people will no doubt be redoubled in the
present necessities "of fhe Church.
6.‘tltlaa4 been the practice of the Church for many
centuries to proclaim a great year of jubilee every 25
years, at which• period multitudes repair to the shrines
of the blessed Apostle's' in Herne, in. order to partake of
the spiritual henedts which there abound.
"Notwithstanding the calamities of the time, our Holy
Father has determined thet the faithful should not be
deprived of those advantages, but that an extraordinary
jubilee Should be enjoyed by them with the usual condi-
dens of such observances.

" Sy a jubilee is signified a period of time during
which the Church more earnestly exerts herself, through
her minist. rs, to bring sinners to• repointanoN to obtain
the restitution of ill gotten property, and the reparation
of injured reputations; to reconcile. enemies; to make,
the lukewarm fervent, to awaken laith, enliven hope,
and increase charity, rind to renew in all-the sound prin-
ciples of true religion i:nd their seri,'!its observance.
" For these purposes she exhorts. her children to run
to the sacred tribunal of penance•with contrite and peni-
tent hearts, and there, atter humble confession of sins,
obtain forgiveness to approach its . sacred:temple with
warm and deep.devotit.n„and derive new-light from the
nlj I:vieg spring; -to give alms - abundantly, according
to tb6 attiiuy of c ach, and to mortify, the, flesh by fasting.
That, further, a jubilee is the time for using vlolencr
o htuvsn by e.arnest and constant prayer, proceeding
rr, .Ouls thu.4 purified, for the averting of calamities
from 'the 'Church, and for obtaining peace end unity
:),ino:ig all Christian purple, and-the union of all hearts
Aed Souls id the heli,f of Cad's truth.
Such, dearly betoved in the Lord Jesus, are the
great ot.jc a of the holy time which we now appoint ;
for we hereby-iaan the period, from Sunday, the Bth c f
D..Tember, until Sludgy, Lite 22d .ef the same month

(botlyinelusive), as the time for enjoying the jubilee i❑
it:e atehdi6eLise of Westminster and the diocese of Sotitii-

work.
" And, as we have before 'said, this will he a rn.f.re
fi:tiog period than any that could have occurred, info:-
much as Oval commence with the Feast of the Immacu-
late Conception, which the Hely Father has graciously
granted as as the patron feast of both dioceses, and
which will supersede this year the observances of the
second Sunday of Advent. ,In this also wiil he included
the'Emter week of Advent, three fast days of which will
fernnpartOf the conditions of the jubilee.
•• In order to encourage the faithful to partake of the
benefits of this holy time, the Church liberally opens her
precious treasures, and grants to all a plenary indulgence
in the forin of ajubilee. •
" And now, most.dcarly beloved in Christ, you will
easily under tend why we should consider the preaent
time most
.suited fdr th© union of fervent prayers to
heaven, to implore peace acid among run. I
need not remind you of the excitement which has been
raised through.the country in consequence of the estab-
lishment of an ecclesiabti: al hierarchy among us, nor of
the things that have been said and done in our reg,ird. •
"Ad that shcuid only serve to animate your fervour
in prayingio the Almighty that He will vouchsee of his
snercy to grant us abundantly the spirit of charity and
peace, to entreat bite to give a better understanding to
those that bate been led astray,. and to grant a right
mind and better feeling to all. Pray earnestly for the
prosperity of this empire, and of the stability of the
great constitution by which it is governed; and espe
cially for the life, hvaltb, and prosperity of our beloved
Sovereign.
" The conditions of the jubilee will be ac follow:
" 1. • During the space el time above determined each
of the faLhful must partake the sacrifice of penance and
the holy Eucharist.
"2. Each' must' visit on three separate days some
Catholic church or chapel, and either join in the prayers
hereafter prescribed, or, it not assigned, say the Litany
Hof the Blessed Virgin, and five • Our Fathers,' and five
Hail Marys.' Such as are unable to visit a church may
say these prayers at home.
We further desire that on the laFt day after mass a
solemn Te Deum be sung or recited in thanksgiving for
111 e return of his Holiness to Rome.
. "And now, beloved brethren in Christ, we have to

exhort you to one clear duty. Although alms deeds arc
not prescribed to you as a condition for granting the
jubilee, yet it is amongst the surest means of obtaining
the' fulness of its benefits. What, tu truth, will more
assurt:dly bring down on us' the abundance of Divine
'mercy thin .to show mercy ounuelves to Whers?—how
stall we be so well heard as by ourselves hearing others
who a,lt for relief from us? In order, therefore, to give
yrit a most fitting opportunity for the performance of
this duty, we hereby appoint Sunday, the B.h of De--
cember, for an annual collection to be suede in the diffe-
rent churches and ebapelg* in this archdiocese and
diocese in behalf of our two orphan Schools at Norwood
and Hyde. Last year the bounteousness of your thanks-
giving, enabled us to extend the benefits of those estab-
liehwents. . We trust that this year you will enable us
to continue .vv hat has been begun, and even, if possible,
to increase so holy a work of charity. Thus will God
4,lar your prayers more willingly when supported by
those of his helpless lit:le ores, who have already to thank
you for the many spiritual and temporal blessings which
they at present owe to your loving-hindotss.

entering the edifice amused themselves by crying put as
they walked to and fro, " No wafer gods!"—" No Pope
in London!"'.—'• The Queen, and no surrender!" One
man, who was rather more loyal than the rest, proposed
that they should ring in the.street ai .the parties were
leaving the church, " God save the Queen." Mr. Rus-
sell, the superintendent of Police, with"grcat forbear-
ance, inforuii d him that if such were done, it would, in
all probability, lead tO a distUrbance of the piece, and he
could not think of allowing it. The person very wisely
desisted, and Lefore 'two o'clock the streets round the
church were cleared, and everything appeared perfectly
quiet.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL' DEC. 1.
By the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Capt. Lang,
wilich arrived in the Mersey about eight o'clock A.M.,
we 'have advices from New York to .the 20:b
Throughout the passage silo experienced very bois-
terous weather. The Africa has brought 225,000 dolls.
in silver on freight. The political and domestic news
is devoid of interest.

The papers were filled with accounts of the stormy
reception of Mr. George Thompson at Boston.
The Tribune contains advices from Barbadoes to
the 14th ult. A meeting had been held at Bridge-
town in relation to the agricultural and mercantile
interests of the island. It had been also arranged
that 303. should be fixed as the maximum rate of
freight, beyond which the planters were.not prepared
to go in shipping the ensuing sugar crop from Ber-
muda. The, same paper bad dates to, the sth ult. .A
violent gale took place on the 3d.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.

Money Market, Tuesday Evenin.g, Nov. 19—There is
a steady demand for ,money, and the offerings at the
banks continue larger than was noticed early in the
month. Still there is no change in rates, and good
single naraes will sell readily at. 73- to 9 per cent. ',rho
banks arc in a, condition to discount liberally, so that
the increased demand from their regular cuatomcrs is
fully met.
We alluded this morning to the. heavy shipments of
specie to New Orleans for this mouth, amounting in the
agaregate to about 4,000,000 dolls,, including 1,000,000-
dolls. from the Sub-Treasury. As this statement has
created a desire to know how this movement affected
the condition of our banks, we have tkkciu a count to=
day 91 tite specie in the 28 banks in this city, with tho
following result, as compared with some other dates
specified:—
Date.

March 30. 1850 ... 6,855;413 4,589,697
This shows that the batks are still in a very sound
condition, and that a portion of the specie, shipped has
been supplied by contributions flora the interior and re-
ceipts !rem California.
Exchange for to-morrow's steamer is active, but owing
fo the better supply of bills, rates have further declined.
Southern t ank bills on London are dull at 1.094 dolls.,
and most of the business has been done at that or under;
some fair bills have been sold at 1,09 dolls. Francs are
also easier. Bills on Paris, 5.221 dolls. to 5.181 dolls.
for 60 days. Amsterdam, 404 to 41; Hamburgh, 358 to
368; Bremen, 791 to 80*.
The stock market has been active for Government
stock; at better rates. United States 6's of '67 sold freely
at 116:i to 116 k; ditto of '6B, 117 to 117 k; ditto of '62
Coupon, 1148; Ohio 7's of '5l, 1011; India State Bonds,

62t ; Morris, 211.
CettonThe sales to-day were about 1,600 bales,
being restricted by the greater confidence displayed by
sellers. The telegraphic system gives great facilities to
operate in this market. Under the system now in vogue
it is entirely useless for parties who design making ex-
tensive purchases to leave the comforts attending u so-
journ here. The poor planters have bad it put into
them very strong recently by parties here who stated on
their arrival that they were not aware that " dowering "
bad yet become general, and who could not think of
encountering the risk of a residence in a southern cli-
mate before December set in, as from the tables of growth
distributed about Manchester they saw that the frost
lust year only appeared on the 15th of December, and
with one month later planting-the 15th of January
was above their idea cf the ripening process closing. If
30} days' earlier flowering and 12 days' later frost, with
125;000 bales of old cotton, gives 2,100,000 as the ex-
treme result, what may be looked for now ? We say
1,925,000 bales, and we desire our readers to cut this
out and keep it before them. We have recently in-
spected returns received by parties here who have orga-
nized an unequalled system of communication by the
telegraph, and the result lays about 1,900,000 bales,
provided the country is drained. Another point s e de-
sire'to place on record which will astonish some of the
knowing ones. New Orleans cannot receive 775,000
bales. Another point :-Memphis delivered 140,000
bales to make up the 782,000 to New Orleans last year:
She will not deliver 88,0u0 bales this smell. We could
ran through the list, but are not allowed to extract more,
as the credit belongs to others. We will only add this,
that the Red River section cannot add the Memphis de-
ficit ; of this the returns admit of no doubt whatever.
Taking this as a key, what then beeomes of the bottoms
of the south-west, which have been 40 confidently relied
on? The universally prevailing influence now is to exag-
gerate the growth, and it is very difficult, with such an
immense stake at issue, to get at the facts. We have
determined to publish every reliable statement, let it in•
terfere with whom it may, and our columns heretofore
give evidence of our peofect independence of any clique
or class. Our apace at present will not admit of more.-
New York Inttiligencer.
Breadstuffs;-Flour-In Western and State flour there
was an active business doing, in part fur the East, for
export and on speculation, while holders were very firm.
The receipts, both present and prospective, were large,
but the near approach of the close of canal navigation
induces operators to meet owners more freely, and the
market had a stiffening tendency. A considerable quan-
tity has been going into store. The stock of No. 2
superfine was limited, and higher prices were demanded
for this description. The sales of domestic to-day
amount to about 28,000 barrels, embracing 4,000 barrels
old inspected State, st 4 dolls. from store; No. 2 super.
fine at 4 dolls. 18c. to 4 dolls. 44c.; ordinary to straight
Stat 3 at 4 dolls. 681 e. to 4 dolls. 75c.; mixed to straight
Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana at 4 dolls. 684 e. to 4 dolls.
81c,; round hoop Ohio at 4 dolls. Sic. to 4 dolls. 94c.;
pure Genessee at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls. 64c.; fancy Ohio and
Genesse at 5 dolls. 121 c. to 5 dolls. 378 c.; and extra
ditto and ditto at 5 dolls. 378 c. to 6 doily. 25c. The
market for Canadian was more buoyant, at unchanged
rates. Sales were made of 4,500 barrels at 4 dolls.
62ic. to 4 dolls. 684 c. in. bond. Southern flour was
more abundant, but the inquiry was fair and holders firm.
Some 900 barrels have changed hands at 5 dolls. to 5 dohs.
12c. for mixes to good Alexandria, Baltimore, and
Georgetown. Rye flour has not varied. The sales
reached 200 barrels, at 3 dolls. 62ic. In corn meal there
was more doing, without change in rates. Some 400
barrels Jersey brought 3 dolls. 12ic.; and 600 barrels
Brandywine 3 dolls. 31-4 c. Wheat-The receipt and
supply of domestic wore good, while the demand was
brisk for prime samples. Canadian was more sought for,
and holders were somewhat firmer. The operations in-
clude 15,000 bushels good to prime white Canadian at
1 doll. qe. to 1 doll. 7c.; 2,500 bushels red ditt.,, at 1
doll. 3e.; and 1,000 ditto damaged Western at 65c • Rye
was more freely offered, and the market favoured the
purchaser. A lot of 700 bushels sold at t 2c. to 821 e.
afloat and 84c. delivered. Oats were in fair request with
sales of State and Canadian at 44c. to 45ic., and Jersey
at 41e. to 43e. Barley was scarce, and wanted at 89e.
to 1 doll. 3a. Corn-The receipts have increased and the
market was heavy. Buyers evinced little clisp -sition to
operate, except at reduced prices. Since our kit retiree
23,000 bushels have changed hands at 71c. for Souollern
yellow, 700• for weevily Southern and Jersey (old)
yellow. 70c. for old Northern ditto in store, 69e. to 694 c.
for old mixed Western in store, 66c. for new Southern
white, and 620 e. for new Northers yellow. We take

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL FESTIVAL.
The 21st of March and the asOth of November are days
as familiar with Scottish men as Christmas and Good
Friday are, to the rest of the world. The first as being
that on which the glorious victory of Alexandria was
woo by the troops under Sir Ralph Abercromby, and
the latter as their Patron Saint's day, the Highland
Society doing due honour to the former annually; and
Saturday last was celebrated by the members of the
Scottish Corporation and their friends, at the London
Tavern, by dining together. This institution is of a
purely charitable character, and dates its foundation and
origin as far back as 1620, being then formed but of a
few members, enrolled as a friendly society. Its useful-
ness and importance soon became so acknowledged; and
its aphefii of action se extended; as to have had a Cjaattek
of Incorporation conferred on it in the reign of Charles
11., under its I- resent de,ignation; and for its now pros-
perous position it is entirety' indetted to the
management being in the hands of spirited and active
individuals, who saw tho necessity of a change in its
constitution to enable them to give its objects more
efficiency. The charity of this institution is appli-
cable to the poor natives of Scotland and their families
resident in London. The several Scottish societies in
the metropolis join together on this occasion for its
support. The chair was occupied by the newly-elected
Recorder of London, the Right Hon. Mr. Stuart Wortley,
supported by Mr. Sheriff Hodekinson, Chisholm Anstey,
Esq., M.P.; Mr. Davis, Principal Secretary of the
American Legation; Mr. Lawrence, jun., and Colonel
Van Allen, Attaches to the same Embassy; Mr. Bul-
lock, Common Sergeant; Colonel Anstruther, Colonel
Braudley, Major Monypenny, and Mr. Deputy
Peacock. The vice-chair was filled by John Murray,
Eeq., of Strathisla House, Bow. About two hundred
sat down to a splendid repast, served in Bathe and
Breach's usual good style. Among many other patriotic
and charitable Scotsmen present we observed David
Dewar, Esq., Robert Hepturn, Esq.,Andrew Maclure, Esq.,
W. S. Orr, E:q., William Nair-, Alexander Grant, Esq.,

It being Saturday. the hour fixed for dinner was six
o'clock, at which time precisely the chairman entered
the hall, accompanied by the stewards, the officers of the
corporation, and their triends, the improvement on the
usual late dining hour being that by ten o'clock all the
toasts were got through, thus giving the company an
opportunity of either retiring at this early hour, or of
prolonging the entertainment by a prcmenade through
the coffae and other suite of rooms with their more im-
mediate friends, as choice may dictate. Such was the
case on this cccasion, end it would be well thatetll pub-
lic dinners were fixed for the same early hour, on what-
ever day of the week they might happen; the change
would be estimated. Tho galleries were filled with
elegantly dressed ladies, the wives and relatives of the
members. The walls were tastefully hung with flags,
clan tartans, shields, and spears. The musical depart-
ment was both numerous and varied, for Mr. Mackay,
with .the juvenile pipers of the Caledonian Asylum were
there, also the instrumental band of the same institution,
as well as Mr. George and his vocal company, with Mr.
Cooper representing. the songs of Scotland. The cloth
removed and grace said,
The CHAIP.MAN rose to propose the first toast, which
was always welcome in every assembly in these domi-
nions—the health of their beloved Sovereign—but par-
ticularly so iu a company of Scotsmen, who were ever
unflinching in their attachment •to the throne. The
blood of the Stuarts ran in her veins, and well was she
aware of it; but it was not for that alone that she was
so beloved, but for her amiable character as Queen,
wife, and mother; and so warmly is she attached to her
husband, that he was sure she would be delighted to hear
that they associated his name with her own as partner of
the first toast of that evening. He would therefore pro-
pose to them " The health of her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty und her Royal Consort Prince Albert."
Drunk with Highland konours, the royal anthem being
sung by the company standing.
The CHAIRMAN then said, the next toast is that of the
heir presumptive of these realms, " His Royal Highness
Duke of Rothesay, Lord of the Isles, and Prince of
Wales." He took the liberty of naming his Royal
Highness after his Scottish titles, first, because he thought
he was justified in doing so bi acompany of Scotsmen cele-
brating. their patron Saint's day; also, that betook his title
from the county town hi bad the honour to represent in
Parliament, and where also are the ruins of the seats of
the families from whom he had descended. Moreover
he knew that his illustrious mother the Queen was
proud of the title of her eldest son, for he had the
honour to be present when the royal yacht entered
Rothesay Day, und saw her Majesty directing the young
Prince's attention to the beautiful town. from whence he
derived by birthright his chief Scottish title.
Drunk with Highland honours.
Air, " Wee' may the keel row." •
The CHAIRMAN rose to pay honour to the great arms
of our defence by sea and land, " The Army sad Navy,"
for which Colonel Anstruther returned thanks in an ex-
cellent speech, testifying to the high efficiency and disci-
pline of the forces.
The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to see by his side
a gentleman who dwelt in that country which had sprung
from our own, and in which the world saw a mighty
nation in the enjoyment of all the privilages which ohs.-
racterhed free institutions. In the United States of
America there were many Scothmen who had left their
country in dejection and despair.—(Hear.) Some of
them had returned to tell their countrymen hoW they
had been received, others had remained in the United
States and had become some of the most distinguished
citizens of the StateS.—(Hear.) There had been an
attempt made to show that the Arnericaes were not only
rivals, but were enemies. But events had proved the
absurdity of this idea. For himself, he loved to think
of America, as the loving daughter of this, the mother
country.. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by pro-
posing "Mr. J. C. Davis, the Secretary of the United
States Ls scion".—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. DAVIS then rose amidst most enthusiastic cheer-
hag, and said—Mr. Chairman and Gsntlecuen.—l have
listened with the greatest pride to your kind mention of
my country, and more especially to the manner its
which you have connected is with Scotland, the land of
classic song, the land of domestic virtues, and the laud
of religious end civil freedom. I have heard, too, with
great pleasure, the hopes you have expressed for the
future—hopes which, if realised, promise peace for the
world; and I cannot but kel that such sentiments well
become a nation the record of whose valour is written
in the history of three continents, and may well be re-
sponded to by their descendants, of whom the canals of
the fourth present no mean tale. When I see the two
richest and most commercial—the two freect and most
pr.-gressire nations of the earth united every day more
and more firmly by the ties of a Common larguage, a
common iutei est, and a ea:ninon origin—when I
beheld the emblems of .these two nations knit
together in no fratricidal contest, but twined in
friendly embrace-e-when 1 hear your kind welcome and
feel my own breast heave with the vain effort to
find a fitting response—l seem to see, notwithstanding
the signs of war elsewhere, a promise of peace far the
world, and to behold, almost commencing, the happy
time when the wilderness and solitary place shall be
glad, end the desert shall rnjoice nod blo:sorn os the
rose. The thought is as true, as it is hackneyed, that the
mission of these two nations is one :of peace—to mein-
tont peace between themselves, and by their moral ex-
ample to enforce it upon others—to turn their energies
at home to the development of their resein vs, to the
cultivation of their industry, and to the edhee.tion and
improvement of their respective people; while abroad,
by extendiree their commerce, by planting in remote and
avage lauds the standard of their common faith, and by
exhibiting to despotism the blessings of liberty, to near-
chy the advantages of order, and to idleness the dignity
of labosr, the world shall gradually he led to fallow an
example made illustrious by success. That you compre
head, this mission I see in tho,pelace your genii are con-
juring into visible shape in Hyde-park. Tbat the world
comprehends it is shown by the treasure it is prepaziug
to pour into that palace. The choicest I:reductions of
modern science and art will be gathered next year
in the metropolis of the earth. Hither nations will
come to fcrgtt national 'jealousies, to learn that
isolation is not a necessity, and to carry away ideas for
fame development. Here we will come from America
—come not by the tens cr the hundreds, but by the
shiploads and the thousands, and come to strive for the
victory—come to'Conqufr if possible. But ii vs.cquibbe3,

of perseverance; and in Macbeth to beware that "vaulting

over the banks and braes o' bonny Doon, and mingle our
tears with his over the grave of his Highland Mary.
Mr. Jonathan Oldbuek shall have as much of our new
'world admiration as he wishes at his veritable Roman
eastrum. And while, with Edie Ochiltree, we mind the
biggin o' the kindly fteling which gives a zest to all
theto pleasures, we will take care that it is not dimiuislad
by any act of ours. I thank yea, Mr. Chairman and
gentlemen, fur the kind manner in which you have re-
ceived me. I will detain you only to express the wish
that this mutual esteem may continue and increase; that

it may extend from us to other nations; and that it may,
in fact, stretch its roots under every sea, and throw up
shoots in every land. Ism persuaded this wish will
meet your sympathy, and am quite sure i: will find fa-
vour with the fairer portion of my auditors—whose
bright eyes and sweet smiles are such difficult weapons
for man to deal nth; and who, I hope, will not hold it
hard against me that I have occupied their time some
few minutes this evening. (The Hen. Gentleman was
cheered frequently during the delieery of his address,
and the cheera were vociferously repeated when he re-
sumed his seat.)
' The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of the evening,
"Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital, the anniversary of
which they were met to celebrate." From the time
when the two kingdoms were united this institution bad
existed. From small beginnings it bad swollen, by
-Royal- favour,-to-these _lizepojtions under Walt_ Wa4
now enebied to dispense comfort and relief to c large
number of destitute objects. No less a sum than
2,3001. was annually expended by this charity-, and no
less than one hundred persons received an annual benefit
of 101., and there was a large number of its pensioners
who annually received sums a little below 101. These
sums were distributed in monthly portions for the re-
lief of the destitute ; and the society, moreover, contri-
buted liberally towards the education of a considerable
number of youths in Scotland. He could not imagine
any charity to which less objection could be raised than
to this which they were met to celebrate. It was a cha-
racteristic of the Scottish nation that, while they were
regarded as a thrifty, herd-waking people, they were
ever ready to extend the blessings of their charity
in every clime. It had become a sort of bye-word—by
some it was thought a reproach—that the Scotch always
hanged together. He would only say, " Long may they
hang together in carrying out, as they do, works of cha-
rity. '—(Cheers.) He trusted that the result of that
night's subscriptions would show the zeal of the sup-
porters (.1 this excellent institution. He would not say
let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, but let every
man put his hand somewhere else.—(Laughter.)
Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY rose to express the plea-
sure he felt in having the honour to be the first that pro-
posed the Right Honourable Gentleman the Chairman's
health at a public dinner, after his recent election to the
distinguished office he now filled in the City. After
referring to the Honourable Gentleman's career and ex-
cellent qualifications, he begged them to do justice to the
toast, by drinking it with highland honours,
The CMAIRAIAN begged they would accept his best
thanks for the kind reception they gave to his name, and
to the Honourable Gentleman who submitted it to them.
It was true he felt the distinguished honour the corpora-
tion of London had paid him in electing him to the high
position of Recorder; but he was there that evening not
es Recorder of London, but as Mem her for lSutesbire
and a Scotchman.—(Cheers.) Every man had naturally
a liking to his own family, and he felt the same feeling
towards his—the corperation of London;
.he would

therefore beg to propose to them one of that family,
worthy their pledging in their peculiar enthusiastic
manner. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by pro-
posing the health of Mr. Deputy Peacock.
Mr. PEACOCK returned thanks.
The CH.trnmAN again rose to propose the success of
the different ;Scottish societies of Loudon, charitable and
patriotic.
GEOI:CE BAIN, E,q , returned thanks is the name of

the Royal Highland Society.
Other toasts followed, and afterwards the company
retired to partake of coffee; previous to which the se-
cretary read a list of contributions as follows: —The
Chairman, 10/. 10s.; J. B. Allan, St. Paul's Churchyard,
101. 10s.; Mr. Anderson, 101.10 s.; Messrs, Phillips and
Groves, 101. 10s. each, and John Murray, the Vice-
Chtirman, 20 guineas.
Mr. Higgs officiated as toast-master.

NEW NAVAL NIGHT SIGNALS.—These newly-in-
vented lights have, during this and the preceding week, been
tried several times between the Semaphore, in the Dockyard,
and the G'riffon brigantine, at the entrance of Farnham
Lake, a distance of three miles. The trials have been made
under the inspection of a committee of ellicers, comprising
Captain Chada, Of the Excellent; Captain Blackwocd, of the
Victory; Captain 11. F. Blackwood, Bart., of the Vengeance;
Captain Henderson, late of the Blenheim ; Commander Hand,
ot the Hecate, and Lieutenant Corbett, of ,the Excellent.
,The. first few trials were somewhat unsatitfactory, but the
later one's were more successful; and it would appear that
the system may (with improvements, which will probably be
suggested by experience to the inventor, Dr. Tnompson) be
brought to such a state of practical perfection, as to make it
one of rerl utility to the naval service. The system is divided
into two parts, oue of which is for sea-going ships. and by
which signals may be mr.de at a distance of throe miles in a
dark night; and the other is intended for Dockyards, flag
ships, and which is to be capable of signalling at a dis-
tance ot eight relies. It is only the first-named system that
has-been tested at present. —rartsinouth Times' and Naval
