Brandley, Major - Monypenny, and Mr. Deputy
Peacock. The vice-chair was filled by John Murray,
Esq., 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, Esq., William Noble, Alexander Grant, Esq.,
John Grant, Esq., David Winton, Esq., George Bain, Esq.,
James Thomson, Esq., James Campbell, Esq., Andrew

terson, Esq., Alexander Frazer, Esq., Farquhar,
Esq., the majority of whom were clad in magnificent
Highland costumes.
It being Saturday, the hour fixed for dinner was six
o'clock, at which time precisely the chairman entered
the ball, accompanied by the stewards, the officers of the
corporation, and their friends, 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 promenade through
the coffee and other suite of rooms with their more im-
mediate friends, as choice may dictate. Such was the
case on this occasion, and it would be well that all 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. The 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 CHAIRMAN 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 in 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 f, _r 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. lie would therefere pro-
pose to them " The health of her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty and her Royal Consort Prince Albert."

Drunk with Highland honours, 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 in a company of Scotsmen cele-
brating their patron Saint's day • also, that he took his title
from the county town he had 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 he present when the royal yacht entered
Rothesay Bay, and saw her Majesty directing the young
Prince's attention to the beautiful town from whence be
derived by birthright his chief Scottish title.
Drunk with Highland honours.
Air, " Weal may the keel row."
The CHAIRMAN rose to pay honour to the great arms
of our defence by sea and land, " The Army and 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 privileges which cha-
racterised 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 Americans 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 Legation".—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. DAVIS then rose amidst most enthusiastic cheer-
ing, and said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—l have
listened with the greatest pride to your kind mention of
my country, and more especially to the manner in
which you have connected it with Scotland, the land of
classic song, the land of domestic virtues, and the land
of religious and civil freedom. I hare 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 feel 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 annals of
the fourth present no mean tale. When I see the two
richest and most commercial—the two freest and most
progressive nations of the earth united every day more
and more firmly by the ties of a common language, a
common interest, and a common origin—when I
behold the emblems of these two nations knit
together in no fratricidal contest, but twined in
friendly embrace—when I 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 for the
world, and to behold, almost commencing, the happy
time when the wilderness and solitary place shall be
glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the
rose. The thought is as true as it is hackneyed, that the
mission of these two nations is one of peace—to main-
tain 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 resources, to the
cultivation of their industry, and to the education and
improvement of their respective people; while abroad,
by extending their commerce, by planting in remote and
savage lands the standard of their common faith, and by,
exhibiting to despotism the blessings of liberty, to anar-
chy the advantages of order, and to idleness the dignity
of labour, the world shall gradually he led to follow an
example made illustrious by success. That you compre-
hend this mission I see in the palace your genii are con-
juring into visible shape in Hyde-park. That the world
comprehends it is shown by the treasure it is preparing
to pour into that palace. The choicest productions of
modern science and art will be gathered next year
in the metropolis of the earth. Hither nations will
come to forget national jealousies, to learn thl.t
isolation is not a necessity, and to carry away ideas for
future development. Here we will come from America
—come not by the tens or the hundreds, but by the
shiploads and the thousands, and come to strive for the
victory—come to conquer if possible. But it vanquished,
we will sit at your feet without envy, and learn of you
the arts in which you excel. A people of commerce,
we will como here to the fountain of com-
merce. A people of agriculture, we will come
here to see agriculture in its perfection. A
people striving to excel in manufactures, we will come
here to see where they were cradled; and, above all, a
nation of labourers, we will join in this mighty tribute
to the dignity
of labour. As the Israelites went up to
Jerusalem to worship, will we aomo boo to this our

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 had swollen, by
Royal favour, to those proportions under which it was
now enabled to dispense comfort and relief to a 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 104 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 ceuld be raised than
to this which they were net to celebrate. It was a cha-
racteristic of the Scottish nation that, while they were
regarded as a thrifty, hard-working 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 of this excellent institution. He would not say
let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, but lot every
man put his hand somewhere else.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Cnisnonm 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 CmainmaN 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
as Recorder of London, but as Member for Butesbire
and a Scotchman.—(Cheers.) Every man had naturally
a liking to his own family, and he felt the same feeling
towards his—the corporation 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 CHAIRMAN again rose to propose the success of
the different 6cottish societies of London, charitable and
patriotic.

GEORGE BAIN, Dq., returned thanks in 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, 101. 10s.; J. B. Allan, St. Pau 's Churchyard,
101. 10s.; Mr. Anderson, 10/.105.; Messrs, Phillips and
Groves, 101. 10s. each, and John Murray, the Vice-
Chairman, 20 guineas.
Mr. Higgs officiated as toast-master.

NEW NAVAL NIGHT SIGNALS.—Thesa newly-in-
vented lights have, during this and the preceding week, been
tried several times between the Semaphore, in the Dockyard,
and the Griffon brigantine, at the entrance of Fareham
Lake, a distance of three miles. The trials have been made
under the inspection of a committee of effleers, comprising
Captain Chula, of the Excellent ; Captain Blackwocd, of the
Victory; Captain H. F. Blackwood, Bark, of the Vengeance;
Captain Henderson, late of the Blenheim ; Commander Hand,
of the Hecate, and Lieutenant Corbett, of the Excellent.
The first few trials were somewhat unsatisfactory, but the
later ones were more successful; and it would appear that
the system may (with improvements, which will probably be
suggested by experience to the inventor, Dr. Thompson)
is be
brought to such a state of practical perfection, as to make it
one of real utility to the naval service. The system divided
into two parts, one of which is for sea-going ships, and by
which signals may be made at a distance of three miles in a
dark night; and the other is intended for Dockyards, flag
ships, &c., and which is to be capable of signalling at a dis-
tance of eight miles. It is only the first-named system that
has been tested at present.—Fortanouth Times and Naval
Gazette.

ment, or that the Berlin Monarchy should be like-
wise jeopardised by any such desperate ad-
venture. But the fortunes of the house of
Brandenburg—that house whose dynastic glories
were principally achieved by the sword of Great
FREDERICX, that the fortunes of this family, and with
them the fortunes also of the Prussian people, would
be staked at terrific hazard upon the results of a rup-
ture with the Austrian Government, must be manifest
to any one acquainted with the history of the two
principal divisions of the Germanic Confederacy.
When it is considered that the Cabinet of Berlin is
embarrassed by the necessity of supporting a gigantic
army with deteriorated finances, and with the legacy
of yet larger involvements left of the late unsuc-
cessful revolution, it must be apparent that the
odds against Prussia would be proportioned
to the number of those very embarrassments.
Added to this, her military forces are almost entirely
composed of soldiers unpractised in the science of
campaigning, and supported alone by their own innate
bravery or by the traditionary excitation of past
achievements—whereas the armies of his antagonist
have been baptized in the blood of many terrible com-
bats, conducted at least by one general of incompa-
rable ability, the veteran and victorious Prince of
NOVARA. Besides all which considerations, it must
be especially borne in recollection that against
Prussia in all her late misunderstandings have been
ranged, ; scarcely without one solitary exception,
all the principal Governments of Christen-
dom. And this, moreover, owing entirely
to the circumstance that in each of
the Prussian Administrations, one or other of the
venerated laws inscribed upon the international code
has been violated—the violation, too, being in many
instances of the most flagrant character imaginable.
Contrary to acknowledged principles of justice, the
Cabinet of Berlin has been seen acting in one direc-
tion against the imprescriptible rights of Denmark, by
affording military assistance to the Holstein rebellion.
Irs another quarter it has been marching its troops
Into Hesse Cassel, a direct infringement of the condi-
tions of tha very treaty to which it has referred as
the authorization of the movement, the treaty
signed in 1817, and known as the Etappen
Convention. According to the stipulations of that
agreement Prussia was secured simply the right o'
passage through the electorate, not of that organized
occupation with which she has now virtually cast
down the gauntlet to the rest of the Germanic Confe-
deration. Altogether, any line of policy more irre-
gular or unjustifiable can scarcely be conceived than
that which has latterly dragged down the Prussian
Monarchy into an abyss of involvements.
Fortunately the settlement of existing difficulties
has at length been committed to men capable, we be-
lieve, of understanding the exigencies of the present
position of Germany : and not, as heretofore, to
hairbrained adventurers in diplomacy, or crochetty
experimentalists in negotiation. To Baron MAN•
TEUFFEL we may look with some degree of confi-
dence for an evidence of that more truthful patriotism
which-displays its existence in a serene and impur-
turbable moderation, not in the braggadocios of a
frivolous and ostentatious audacity. From the
calmness of his conscientious, if not profound j udg-
ment we may hope to see emerging some promises of
an ultimate reconciliation. As his colleague in ar-
bitrating matters respectively on the part
and in the name of the Prussian and
Austrian Governments, he has a diplomatist
in every way qualified to appreciate on his side the
urgency of the question at issue, and the imperative
necessity of concession both from Berlin and Vienna.
Satisfied at once as to the capacity and integrity of
the negotiators who have now simultaneously repaired
to Olmutz, we look forward with sanguine anticipa-
tions to the result of this momentous interview.

Among other concessions, Austria will, of course,
adhere to the assent already expressed by her in the
proposal of separate alliances within the Confederation,
although in this she may find in the end a fruitful source
of additional and unexpected difficulties. Her ultimatum
conveyed to Berlin by Baron PROKESCH, must still for
the most part be maintained ; nor can we think from
the reasonableness of its several requirements that
Prussia will remain obdurate in refusing to yield to
demands of such undeniable justice. Opportunities
have now consequently presented themselves for the
revival of friendly feelings between the constituent
parts of Germany, of late so lamentably estranged, to
their own individual and collective detriment.
Whether these opportunities will be accepted or not
forthwith it would be idle of course to con-
jecture. What we are solicitous to learn, how-
ever, is the existence of any disposition to
abandon the causes of either on the side of
Prussia or on that of Austria. A little while longer
and we shall be enabled to judge as to the pro-
bability or improbability of this, from the intelli-
gence received from the town of Olmutz. For
the present the remote spectators of the events
transpiring in Central Europe can only exercise what
patience they may best
.command, yearning with the
utmost possible degree of solicitude for the accounts
of some satisfactory agreement.

Everything convected with the administration of
justice is, in this country, regarded with the greatest
reverence. The law invests with peculiar sanctity
every person in any degree concerned in carrying it
into effect. Judges, jurymen, counsel, attorneys, and
witnesses are taken under its especial protection. It
is the paramount obligation which every member of
the community owes to courts to lend his aid in
elucidating the truth, and bringing the legal machi-
nery into perfect operation. While engaged in that
sacred duty they are exonerated from every inferior
liability. The rights of creditors are for the
time suspended, no party engaged in a cause
in any of the capacities above alluded to can be
taken in execution while so occupied. He is
protected from civil process eundo, morando, et rede-
undo, while going to, remaining at, or returning from
the tribunal before which the case is at issue. If ar-
rested he will be forthwith discharged from custody,
and the officer required to show cause why he should
not be punished for his contempt. A libel on the ad-
ministration of justice is justly regarded as of the
most serious and aggravated character, and the
offender is subjected to the most stringent penalties,
The judge on the bench of justice knows no superior •
even the Monarch on the throne cannot interfere with
the due discharge of his important functions. He
cannot in any manner be questioned or interfered
with. History makes honourable mention of the
Lord Chief Justice (GrascoraNE,) who committed the
heir-appareat to the Crown, for daring to insult the,
tribunal over which he so worthily presided—of the
sagacious KING who not merely forgot the affront
offered to his eldest son and probable successor, but
even thanked the DEITY that he had a servant who
so worthily maintained the dignity of his exalted
station—and of the Prince who, on his accession , to
the throne, honoured and respected the worthy vin-
dicator of the majesty of the law. Never was there
a period in British history, when a judge could be
called on to defend in the field his decisions on the
bench. The American judge (LYNCH) was a cha-
racter wholly unknown in England.
In like manner, and for the same purpose, the bar-
rister is permitted an unrestricted licence and freedom
of speech ; he knows, or regards, but one person—
his client. To advance his interests, to protect his
rights, he may comment upon every portion of the
case, and on every person in any degree concerned.
He may use galling and irritating language, without
the slightest fear of personal consequences ; his speech
is completely privileged, there is no boundary or
limit to his discretion. If he abuse that privilege he
will himself be the chief sufferer, but it will
be merely a moral censure that can be in-
flicted. He cannot be civilly sued or criminally
indicted for defamation. Even in bygone days,
when duelling was fashionable, the barrister, although
"a fighting man," was bound not to accept any chal-
lenge or to answer fur anything which he might say
or do in the discharge of his professional avocations,
and any
iueu
asysisaiutlttdowr i4ohsnilletaovffyerreedtrtiobuhtiimoni.n consequence
would be
The witness had likewise a single duty to perform.'
He WhE bound to tell "the truth the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth." He must do that inde-
pendently of every fla
concerned
in the
issue, If his nearest and dearest
friend it signified nothing;
hco viulde" not be exonerated from his sacred obligation.
His evidence must be given without fear or favour,
prejudice or affection, without considering whom it

tarily assume that duty. It is not to please or gratify
himself that he comes forward. He is compelled to
do it, whether willing or unwilling, and none can re-
fuse, from the highest to the lowest, from the illus-
trious Consort of our most gracious SOVEREIGN, to
the humblest of her subjects. No business, public
or private, however urgent or important, will be re-
ceived or deemed a sufficient excuse for neglecting or
refusing to attend in pursuance of the subpoena ad
testificandum, which had been served. Under such
circumstances, it would be strange indeed if the law
refused to protect a person whom it thus compelled
to come forward, from all annoyance consequent
upon his obedience to its dictates.
There was, however, a strange forgetfulness of
these principles manifested in a case recently decided
at the Middlesex Sessions ; and if the doctrine laid
down by Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, in the ",QuEzet
v.
GUNSTON" should be permitted to pass without notice,
it is impossible to calculate the amount of mischief
that might be occasioned by parties, who felt in any
degree aggrieved at the evidence given in any pro-
ceeding, being induced to take the law into their own
hands and insult and assault with impunity the wit-
ness with whom they felt offended. In the
case in question a Mr. HENRY SMYTHE, a
gentleman holding a public situation in the Inland
Revenue-office, Somerset-house, was the prosecutor,
and Mr. GUNSTON was the defendant. It appeared
that the prosecutor had sometime previously been
examined as a witness in a proceeding de lunatico
inquirendo, touching the state of mind of a gentleman
named FERMOR. In it be had made some statement
strictly bearing on the subject-matter then under
investigation, in which the mother of the defendant,
since deceased, was alluded to in a manner that ex•
cited his anger. As soon as the jury had returned
their verdict the defendant wrote to the prosecutor, in
which, after stating the testimony of which he com-
plained—(which we do not repeat, as it is by no means
our wish to hurt the feelings of any party, only allud-
ing to the question as one of vital importance to so-
' ciety in general)—he said, " But the bare insinuation
against my departed mother compels me to wrest her
memory from an attack of base malignancy. You
will excuse my expressing my firm conviction that
you invented this language to serve your purpose. I
write, therefore, to give you an opportunity of retracting
your words, and retrieving your character." No
answer having been returned to this not very courte-
ous or temperate epistle, the defendant met the pro-
secutor the subsequent day, when leaving his office,
and asked whether there was any answer to his letter,
and Mr. SMYTHE having replied, "that it was not
the time or place to discuss such matters," imme-
diately struck him in the face, and a scuffle ensued,
which terminated in the matter being brought
before the presiding magistrate at Bow-street.
That gentleman took a very correct view
of the transaction. He said that " the letter
written by the defendant, although containing no
thqat, was an exceedingly improper one, for the
complainant when examined on oath was bound to
state the truth, however offensive it might prove to
others." He then gave the complainant his choice,
whether he should fine the defendant 51. (the highest
punishment in his power to inflict),.or send the case
for trial. The latter branch of the alternative was
adopted, and the case was accordingly transmitted to
the Middlesex Sessions for trial.
When called on, the defendant pleaded guilty, and
the facts alluded to before the magistrate were
brought forward in mitigation. In pronouncing
judgment, Mr. Sergeant ADAMS declared that, " having
looked to the evidence given before the commis-
sion de lunatico inquzrendo, he must confess
that he could not discover any reflection on the
memory of Mrs. GUNSTON," but added, " that
the prosecutor having been accused by the defendant
of having intended to throw an aspersion on the
memory of Mrs. GUNSTON, should have at once dis-
claimed any t.uch intentions, adding that the defendant
was fully warranted in believing that he (the
prosecutor) had been guilty of the act imputed to
him in the absence of any disclaimer on his part."
lie then proceeded to read a lecture to the prosecutor,
saying, "he had no right to go about scattering
falsehoods," and ended by inflicting a nominal fine of
ls. on the defendant.

Now we must earnestly protest against this most
extraordinary decision being constituted a precedent,
and caution all persons from being led into the corn-
mission of very serious offences by the impunity per-
mitted to the defendant. What answer could Mr.
SMYTHE return to a letter designating his sworn tes-
timony as "an attack of base malignance," and de-
claring that he bad "invented the language to serve
his purpose," or, in other words, that he had com-
mitted wilful and corrupt perjury ? Was he to "re-
tract his words" as required, and acknowledge that
he ought to be sent before a criminal tribunal and
transported fur his grave offence ? Practically, that
was what he was required to do, and which Mr. Ser-
geant ADAMS censured him for neglecting. What-
ever explanation he might be induced to give, the
tone and character of the letter was not calculated to
elicit, and if the matter bad terminated there a cri-
minal information would unquestionably have been
granted, if applied for, and a heavy punishment in-
flicted. The additional outrage—a blow in the face
in a crowded thoroughfare—however, gave impunity
to the defendant, and if Mr. Sergeant ADAMS be
right, afforded every encouragement to others to take
the law into their own hands, and despise the rules
that are ordinarily observed in society. We, at least,
shall strenuously protest against such a doctrine, and
its more than probable consequences.

'ALARMING FINE LAST NlGHT.—Between nine and
ten o'clock last night (Sunday) a fire suddenly broke out in
the lower portion of the premises belonging to Mr. John
Fisher, a brush-manufacturer, at No. 108, Great Dover-road.
Three engines of the London Brigade attended, and, with a
plentiful supply of water, the flames by eleven o'clock were
safely extinguished—not, however, until Mr. Fisher's stock
in trade was destroyed, and the.whole of his furniture and
other effects severely injured. Fortunately the sufferer was
insured in the Sun Fire-office.

RE-UNION OF INFLUENTIAL ROMAN CATHOLICS.-
We stated on Saturday that Cardinal Wiseman had been on
a visit to a Roman Catholic nobleman in Buckinghamshire.
The gentleman to whom the cardinal paid a visit of several
days is Charles Scott Murray, Esq., a few years since one of
the members for the county of Bucks, but who resigned his
seat upon his abandoning the Protestant faith. Mr. Murray
Las since erected a splendid Roman Catholic chapel close to
his residence at Danesfield, near Aylesbury. Amongst those
invited to meet the newly-created cardinal were the follow-
ing :—Dr. Waring, the new Catholic Bishop of Northamp-
ton; Lord Camoys, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty; Lady
Camoys and the Misses Stonor, Lord and Lady Feilding,
Lady Georgiana Fullerton, Mr. Allies (late chaplain to Dr.
Blomfield, Bishop of London), and Mrs. Allies; Mr. George
Bowyer, Mr Pugin, Lady and Miss Fitzgerald, Mr. Caven-
dish, Mr. Maskell, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Phillips, Mr. Fuller-
ton, and Father Terreo. It is stated that Lord and Lady
Feilding are about to proceed to Rome at a very early period.

" THE DUKE" ON ROMAN CATHOLIC EMANCI-
PATION.—When the Duke of Wellington supported the
Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill in the House of Lords,
his Grace said--" It is impossible to suppose that the small
number of persons that this measure will admit into this
House, and the few who may possibly obtain seats in the
other House, can afford any ground for apprehending danger
from legislation to the Church of Ireland—the Church of
England in Ireland. I entertain no doubt that after this
measure shall have been effected, the Roman Catholics will
no longer exist as a separate interest in the State, as they
at present do. I have no doubt that they will cease to
excite disunion in this and the other House of Parliament.
Parliament will then, I hope, be disposed to look at tleir
conduct, and everything which respects that country, as they
will look upon the people and the affairs of England and
Scotland. I will say, however, that if lam disappointed in
my hopes of tranquillity, after a trial has been given of the
measure, I shall have no scruple in coming down to Parlia-
ment and laying, before it the state of the case, and calling
for the necessary power to enable Government to take the
steps suited to the occasion. I shall do this in tbe same con-
fidene2 that Parliament will support me that I do in the
present ease." ,
RESIGNATION OF ARCHDEACON 'XIANNIN G.—This
much respected clergyman has, we understand, resigned the
archdeaconry of Chichester, in consequence it is supposed,
of difficulties about the present position of the Established
Church.

On -aturday M. REMUSAT presented to the As-
sembly the report of the Committee on the demand of
the Minister of War for a credit for the new levy of
40,000 troops. The document enters at large into
the questions now pending in Germany. In allusion
to the Schleswig-Holstein question, it announces that
all the great Powers are unanimous in maintaining
the rights of Denmark ; and that, therefore, those
rights will be maintained. With regard to the ques-
tion of Hesse, and the other questions at issue, it
observes that those questions are at present es-
sentially German, " and, so long as they re-
main such, must be left for solution to the Ger-
man Powers. France, then, if only out of re-
spect for nationalities, feels that it is a duty
for herself, as well as for other foreign Powers,
to abstain from all intervention, unless unexpected
incidents should arise—unless, indeed, things should
change their aspect, so as gravely to compromise the
interests of neutral Powers, and the essential bases
of the European balance of power." The report,
after declaring that the committee is in perfect ac-
cordance with the Ministers on this aubject, con-
cludes by recommending the adoption of the follow-
ing resolution :
" The National Assembly, convinced that on the
questions which at this moment divide Germany the
policy of neutrality, as expressed and defined in the
message of the PRESIDENT, dated 12th November, is
the:.sole policy suitabletolFrance, passes to the discus-
sion of the articles of the Bill."
The debate was fixed for Thursday.
M. NISARD was elected Member of the French
Academy, in place of M. FILETZ ; M. NISARD had
23 votes ; M. ALFRED DE MUCSET had only 5.
The directors of the Journal des Debats, Constitu-
tionnel, Presse, National, Siecle, Evenement, and Re-
publique were on Friday fined 200 f. each by the Police
Court of Paris for having published advertisements of
foreign lotteries. The consequence of this conviction
is, that M. ARMAND BERTIN and the other directors
will be, under the new law, deprived of the electoral
franchise.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool oa Saturday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed firmly, at rather higher prices.—ln Railway
Shares a steady business was done, with prices rather
tending upwards.

The Corn Market is dell this morning, and prices
remain generally the same as previously quoted.
The express in anticipation of the Overland Mail,
brings mercantile accounts from the presidencies of a
"favourable character. At Bombay there was rather
more demand for money. Trade was sound, and after
the Dewallee holidays, considerable activity was ex
pected. At Calcutta there had been much briskness,
and both Manchester and Scotch goods sold freely. In
exports the transactions were comparatively large.
The letters from the United States, by the st(amer
Africa, notice a moderate demand for bills of exchange
on London, but with receding rates. On London the
quotation was 9i to 10 per cent. premium. There were
still active exertions making to buoy up the Cotton
Market; and at New Orleans, on the 18th ult., the sales
were 10,000 bales, being the largest of the season. One
writer at New York states :

" We learn that telegraphic orders to purchase cotton
freely have, since the arrival of the Cambria, been sent
to all the southern ports for English account. These
purchases will not, of course, be allowed to transpire
until after the departure of the Africa, for the object
with all parties in this market, at this time, is to de-
press prices nominally here, to act on the southern
markets while they are sweeping them. We are
informed that several extensive planters in Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas, have been offered thirteen to
thirteen and a half cents for their cotton on the planta-
tions, taking every quality; and it is stated that one
Texas planter sold his crop of about two hundred bales,
which will not average over good middling,' altogether,
at 134 c. up the Brazos, which would cast 15a. laid
down in New York, or 15ic. laid down in Liverpool."
The Canada advices are very encouraging still.
Wheat in the western province (Torento) was rather
dearer. The weather was mild and pleasant; the roads
were very goad. The trade in Wheat had been very
brisk. Arrangements were making at Montreal for a
trip to England and back during the Exhibition at 75
dollars. The great increase in the revenue from canal
tolls points to the time when the public works will pay
more than the interest on their cost. In a communica-
tion before us it is stated:—

" We believe that the run of our trade towards the
United States will not continue very long; there is no
doubt that it will always continue large, but the resort of
the Upper Canada merchants to New York for groceries
and fancy dry goods has not been so great this season as
during the past two years, the Montreal merchants and
their own importers being recovered from the
effects of the crash in 1847, and being better
able to supply them. The Upper Canadians must
undoubtedly go where they can buy cheapest,
but we believe that ere long the supplies for the western
country will come most cheaply through the St. Law-
rence, and its produce also be most economically con-
veyed through it to the place of consumption. The
establishment of a line of steamers from the
St. Lawrence to Great Britain would tend
greatly to draw the trade in fancy goods
from the United States. There is an increased
❑umber of small articles which could be got far
more cheaply in England, which are nevertheless pur-
chased in the United Mates on account of the conveni-
ence of purchasing small quantities at a short distance,
enabling the small dealer to select his own goods, and
save the time which at present elapses before orders can
be filled from England."
By a merchant ship, advices of October 28 have been
received from Pernambuco, and of the 4th of that month
from Rio. The rate of exchange on England was 28fd.
Nothing more was said about the apprehended war with
Buenos Ayres.
The reports from the Continental Stock Markets
have at length become of an altered and very favour-
able character, and at Berlin a rally of 4 to 5 per cent.
has occurred in the quotations of Public Secu-
rities. At Vienna there was more confidence,
and at Frankfort, on the 28th ultimo, Aus-
trian Metallics realized 65k-. The exchange on
Vienna was 83. At Amsterdam, on Saturday, better
prices were obtained, owing to the advance at the
German Bourses, and a large business was done in
Spanish, Portuguese, and Austrian Bonds. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 54k.
In the English Stock Market there bas been
a very decided improvement, and although the
amount of business done is not large, the rally
in prices is to per cent. This is the result
of the more pacific news from the continent,
and of the greater confidence felt that the mediation
of England will bring about concessions that will ward
off the imminent danger at present existing. Consols
have been 97e a for Transfer, and 97f for January.
Bank Stock has been firm at 212, and India Stock at
271. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
baen done at 98 to 984-. Exchequer-bills are 655. to
68s. premium, being steady.
The Foreign Investments have all been in improved re-
quest, and have participated in the rise in Consols.
Mexican Bonds have touched 32 and 32k; Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 784-, and since 79f
The Deferred Bonds are 35 to 1. In these latter a good
deal has been done. Spanish Five per Cents. have been
marked 184- I, and the Three per Cents. 394-. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been 33g. Dutch Four per
Cents. are 8i54-.
Railway Shares are again on the advance. North
Western, Midland, Great Western, and the principal
lines, are higher than they have been for some time
past, and the smaller lines have nearly all risen, more
or less. In Foreign Railways there has been scarcely a
bargain.
