OPENING OF THE LAW COURTS, ST.
GEORGE'S HALL.

The law-courts committee of the Council met on Satur-
day last, for the purpose of making arrangements for the
opening of the approaching assizes, as Mr. Justice Parke
has communicated his intention of opening the courts on
Monday week, the Bth December. The commission of
assize will be opened at the old Court-houses; but on the
Monday morning his worship the Mayor, accompanied by
members of the Town Council, and other gentlemen, will
proceed in state to the judges' lodgings for the purpose of
escorting their lordships to the new Court-houses.

On Saturday a band of music was taken into the great
hall and the court-rooms for the purpose of testing their
capabilities with respect to sound. The members of
the law-courts committee, who were present, we under-
stand, expressed their entire satisfaction on this iin7

•
portant point. A sub-committee has been appointed
for the purpose of carrying into effect all the necessary
arrangements contingent on the opening.

DINNER TO THE HON. J. R. WALKER

Last evening a dinner was given at the Adelphi Hotel,

Oates by luttinn

MODERN AND HANDSOME FURNITURE, CANNING-

of Commerce, to the Hon. J

NTREE7

R. Walker, late Secretary to the United States Treasury,
to mark the sense entertained of that gentleman's services
in giving facilities to the commerce of the country, by
the introduction of the bonding system, and the reduction
of the tariff to moderate revenue duties. About seventy
gentlemen sat down to dinner, amongst whom were—
E. Arnaud, T, D. Anderson, William Barber, J. C. Boyd,
T. H. Barclay, Thomas Bolton, G. A. Brown, C. Baring,
Thomas Baxley, Manchester; Mr. S. Bird, E. J. Brine,
S. Bright, the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, Bell,
Miles Barton, M. K. Collet, H. C. Chapman, Alfred
Castellain, C. Colt, F. P. Corbin, Colonel Crittenden,
Robinson Duckworth, G. J. Duncan, Rowland Edwards,
H. Earle, R. B. Grinnell, M. Hyslop, R. E. Harvey,
George Holt, H. Littledale, General W. G. M'Neal,
J. B. Moore, J. S. Mansfield, Duncan M'Viccar,
A. M'Gregor. Joseph Malcomson, Captain Nye, Wm.
Otley. C. W. H. Pickering, John Parker, R. Ran-
kin, Wm. Rathbone, jun., H. Stalterfoht, F. Shand,
Char!es Saunders, Frederick Saunders, W. Stuart, Thos.
Thornely, M.P., J. A. Turner, Manchester, lion. R. J.
Walker, Thomas Sands, and A. H. Smith, Esqs.
The dinner was announced to take place at half-past
six, but it was a quarter-past nine before the cloth was
removed. The dinner was stated to be of the most
recherche description ; but we are unable to say whether
this is correct or not, the reporters being excluded until
the cloth was removed, and some of them had not the
courage to resent the indignity so gratuitiously offered
them ; and which would not be tolerated for a moment in
any other town in England.

The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with honours,
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Pre-
sident of United States. (Drunk with great applause.)
Mr. CORBIN responded, and in conclusion, proposed
the land of his forefathers. (Applause.)

By Messrs. THOS. W I NSTANLEY and SONS,
Tilts DAY, (Tuesday,) the 25th instant, at Eleven o'clock pre-
cisely, on the Premises, No. 38, Canning-street, near Falk-
ner:square,

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Ven.
Archdeacon Brooks and the clergy of this country, and of
America. (Drank with great applause.)
The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS responded. He
said, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I beg leave, on the
part of the clergy of my own country, and I assure you I
havean equal pleasurein being allowed to do so on the part of
mybrethrenacross the Atlantic, toofferyouour best thanks
for the honour you have been just pleased to confer upon
us. (Hear, hear.) I assure you, gentlemen, it is
a source of great gratificaion to me to be classed
with those who were employed in the same vine-
yard with ourselves, and in the same work and labour of
love. (Hear. hear.) Ido hope and trust that it may be
our earnest endeavour to inculcate on both sides of the
Atlantic those principles of our common Christianity
which are the essence and spirit of all true religion,
and which are calculated to bind us together in the ties
of brotherly affection and good fellowship, (Applause).
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Hon.
J. R. Walker in a neat and appropriate speech.

The Hon. Mr. WALKER, in returning thanks, went
into a long series of statistics to show that the United
States had progressed far more rapidly under a liberal
scale of duties than it had under a restrictive scale; and
said the same thing had been the case in England. Ho
next contrasted the prosperous state of America at the
present moment, with the position of the country under
the tariff of 1828. After referring to the notion that if
the balance of trade was against a country, that country
could not be in a prosperous condition, and endeavouring
to show that this was not so in reality, he proceeded
to argue that a free-trade policy was conservative
in its influence, as exhibited in the greater safety of
England, in the superior happiness and contentment of
the industrial classes.—(Hear, hear.) He then referred
to the commercial greatness and prosperity of Liverpool,
and after admitting that several of his countrymen were
in favour of protection, yet, like a great English states-
man, he hoped when they discovered their error, they
would have the manliness to avow and correct it. In con-
nection with a passage in the French President's message,
relative to Cuba, he stated that the Americans would not
suffer an English or French fleet in the Gulph of Mexico,
and expressed his surprise that such a proposition
should come from one who might be considered the
Gallic Lopez. In conclusion, he said, he apprehended
no danger from this, and wished England progressive
harmony and prosperity ; that her career might be marked
with honour, peace, and glory ; by equity, justice, and
good faith.
Several other toasts were proposed and responded to,
but the very late hour at which the proceedings com-
menced precludes the possibility of a full report being given.
Amongst the notes of apology read, was one from the
Earl of Sefton, who is at present on a visit to the Earl of
Carlisle, at Castle Howard.
