THE LORD MAYOR'S BANQUET IN LONDON [From the London Times, Noy. 11.] On Saturday, being Lord Mayor's day, conformably with a custom’ which has obtamed for more than six hundred years, Alderman Cubitt went in state from Guildhall to Westminster, attended by members of the Gourt of Aldermen, all the'principal officers of the Corpo- ration, and representatives of most, if not all, of the an- cient livery companies, to be presented to the Barons of the Exchequer on his election, for the second time in suc: feesion, as Lord Mayor of Loudon. Tho day, which was Qs sunny and genial as one in midsummer, attracted an enormous crowd to seo the pageant, in adiition to the Interest which in the popular estimation has alwaye been peculiarly its own, Aw usual, the chief interest of the Oocasion at first centred in Guildhall, with its precincts, 88 tho place from which the procession was to start. About twelve o'clock the procession, marshalled ac- eording to order, moved off an its way to Westminster, with a flourish’ of trumpets. The Lord Mayor (light Hon, William Cubitt), accompanied by his chaplain, and by Mr. Sewell and Mr. Becdome, lis sword and taco bearers, in the state carriage of the corporation, drawn by six Lorses, and attended by a cavalry escort, was of course the principal person of interest in the |ageant. Next to him in peint of attraction were the Sberiils of Londen and Middlesex, with their chaplains, each ina aplondid chariot, drawn’ by four horses. ‘The Lord Mayor haying been sworn in, the accustomed ugural entertainment took place in Guildhall in the evening, which was appropriately decorated for the oc- sasion under the tasteful direetion of Mr. J. B, Bunuing, hitect to the City of London. The corridors and lob: Dies from the entrance to the hail, were adorned with trophies, statues, mirrors and flowering plants. ‘The ball Atseif was profusely decorated. After the usual loyal toasts had been responded to the Jord Mayor rose and said:—I have now to propose to you the health of a distinguished body of men, whose mission 36 the loftiest which can be committed to ‘any clase.

Tho sword was the only negotiator, and the victorious chieftain commouly ended by dictating terms of bumijation to his fallen enemy, Ali this has beon materinlly changed now that ne- gotiation always precedes war, and very often averts it altogether. Indeed, ii may safely be said that the chain of relations estabsished by diplomacy furnishes perpetual means for the restoration of friendly feelings between nations, When they are rushing into a « state of mutual irritation, either accidentally or by the agency of ill tempered misciief makers on both sides ‘for sich people will always be found in every commu. rity), then is felt the value of amt authorized agency over present to explain mistakes, to correct misrepreseuta tone, @nd te retract errors in season—to oheck th row'h .% the trouble, and restore good feeling.

There is, moreover, another beneficial charg, ofa still later date, which 1 will take tho liberty to notice as bres happened to the diplomacy pf nations. Not a great while ago it had the reputation of being tricky and false—of taking advantage of the secrocy with which it was conducted to play an unfair gamo. The history of the past is filled with examples of eminent men who cou- sidered it the height of merit to show skill in outwitting their neighbors in negotiation. Indeed, there is an ance- oto told of a very distinguished public character of the last age in France—I know not with what justice—that such was the reputation he had obtalned as an adept in deception at ono part of his life that from that time he made up his mind always to tell the truth, deing confident nobody would ever think of be- lieving him, and that thus he might the better conceal his ‘objects, (A laugh.) Bo this as it may, I prefer to appeal from the old example of Prince ‘Talleyrand to the later one of @ veteran diplomatist of your own country, who, after serving a long career of distinction abroad, has come back to onoy u honors he has won go well in @ old ago at home. I allude to Lord Stratford de Redcliffo— (cheers)—who, in the testimony he gave bofore a committee of Parliament, recorded his deliberate opinion that the present practice tn negotiation, so far as his ex- perience went, waa plain and straightforward and in good faith; that there was little desire for secresy mercly ag @ screen for deception, and Tost countries acted under a sense of their share of cepeanis: for honesty of conduct. before the world. 1 say that I prefor to adopt this later theory on my comi in asa member of the Diplomatic Corps, because should scarcely knew how to act upon any other.

(Choers,) Iudoed, I see the strongest reasons why they shouid never be changed, —(Choers.) To be sure there are many points in which we materially disagree, and there will be people on both sides whose disposition’ will be to magnify them. ‘You do not approve our democracy ; wo do not appreciate your distinctions of rank.

(Loud cheers.) It is, then, acommunity of descent, of language, of literature, of sympathy in’ all that is good and noble and true, that teaches the lesson of harmony between our respective peoples.

The noble Viscount resumed his seat amid loud cheers. NEWSPAPER OPINION OF THE SPEECUES, [From the London Times, Nov. 11.} Mr. Adams, the American Minister, Lord Palmer- ston were the only two speakers who diverged at all from the topics immediately before them. There was certain- ly nothing warlike about the speech of Mr. Adams, and as ho took great pains to tell us that it was wrong to suppoee dplomatists ever say tho thing which is not, we are bound to believe that he is Sully empowered to meet with cordiality all those Peaceful ‘sentiments which seemed to fill the Guildhall last Saiurd lay. In some most important respects Mr. Adams’ specch mig have been made. jive years ago. There is not one word about civil war, or batiles on the Potomac, or blockade of Southern ports, He does not oven tell us that there are some bad felloy among his countrymen, or advise us to have no intercourse with them. We ought to congratulate ourselves on this, for Mr, A ‘ame assures us that the only fault possibly to be attributed to American diplomacy is, that it might sometimes be thought too open, free and careless; sojhat if there bad been anything ofsthe least importance likely to arise out of those matters he would not bave entirely omitted them. Mr, Adams’ speech was so highly complimentary that we could wish America could speak more frequently to us by the mouth of her Minister, and never at all in the tune commen to her prest and her Seerelary of State, Mr. Adams ran through our whele history from Prince Arthur to Florence Nightingale, and claimed to annex tt ali, Of course we are delighted. We are no niggards of our history and literature, ‘They make tous a fort of great han Ore, round which we all sit and warm ourselves at oar leisure, Every man who speaks our tongue, be hit descent German, French or English, or any mixture of all three, is welcome to some and sit by ovr elde and warm himself with us at it. All Wo ask 1s, that ho will not turn round and throw stones at our windows after he leaves the old house, We do not wish to inquire too closely whether this cosy talk about our common history and our common literature has ever ‘been anything more than talk; or whether it has ever pre- yented our dear friends from throwing all their sympa- thies, and something more than their sympathies, into the lap of foreigners, who had no common literature and no common history, nor, indeed, any other recommenda; tion than that they were at war with England. We w! not, if we can help it, inquire whether we have ever seen any other action of these common ties thon that they have bound us and have left America free to be more captious with us than with any other people. We are only delighted to find from Mr. adams, speaking in all his candor, that we are on auch excellent terms, anid that as le tween usand America the civil war and the Wlockade are Titerally nabrvorth mentioning. Es Nor does Lord Palmerston give ua_less promis ‘ng hopes that all the votive tablets in the Guildhall will be pro- phetic of national tranquillity. Lord Palmerston yielded hot a jot to any one present as @ lover. ilo was anxious for pence even with his political opponents, and ‘seemed to look about in vain for some hero of the oppo- site faction on whom to bestow his affections. Looking ‘broad upon the world in the vool morning, it may seem to somo that men grow ganguine after dinner and that it is acarccly a time to sleep too soundly. Jf, how- ever, the world will consent tobe at peace, the world may ‘be woll assured that England will not break it. TRE REBEL CASE STATED TO THE FISH- MONGERS, SPEECH OF WILLIAM L. YANCEY. From the London Globe, Noy. 12.) ‘Mr. Dudley Mann and Mr. W. L. Yancey, two of the Southorn Commissioners now i England, attended the dinncr of the Fis! ’ Company on Saturday. Mr. Yancey, in answer to & complimentary toast, made the following speech, which derives interest from the fact that the Minister from the United States was at the same time speaking in Guildhall, Mr. Yancey said:— Upon tho part of Americans I slncerely respond to the Sentiment just expressed by the Prince Warden for tho restoration of peace in America. Such a wish proclaimed by a company of intelligent Englishmen must kindle cor- responding spirit in the bosom of every enlightened and impartial American, The name American no longer re- presents a united people. There exist now two American nationalities—the Confederate and the Federal Americans. J—as you may, perhaps, be aware—am a Confederate, or—as the Federal Amorican, unmindful of the character of our common forefathers, disdainfully terms mo—a rebel. Butthe justice and the senacaf right ofthis o- vernment, promptly coincided in by France an in, speedily wiped out that stigma from our brows, and my rom countrymen are acknowledged here, at least, to be belligerents. (Cheers) | Though inebied to au enlarged wad elightan- ed view of public law, and not to the more grace or favor of England, for this acknowledgment of oar unquestion- able rights and locus standi, 1 must freely express hore to-night that deep senso of thankfulness which I am sure all my countrymen fvel for #s early public avowal—Bis dat qui cito dat. (Prolonged cheers.) From no other Power could it have como go gracefully. In this—tho old country—tho principle ‘of self-government is recog- nized and practised, however blended with the preroga- tives of the Crown and the privileges of the aristocracy. To your institutions Amoricans are indebted for the chic of those vital principles which have caused them to style the republic— ‘Tho land of the free. And tho home of the oppressed. : Such invaluable rights ag the old English writ of habeas corpus, of aspecdy trial by Jury, of freedom of speech and freedom of tho press, are the main pillars of Ame- rican constitutional liberty,and I am both happy and proud to say are observed at least throughout the Con- federate American States as vital and practical rights, even during thoir stern struggles to proserve their “na” tional life.” (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I feel how un- becoming it would be in me to intrude upon such an oc- casion as the present any merely partisan views of the cavses which haye broken up the late federal Union. No. matter what they may have been, ono thing is clear, and that is that the contest now going on is upon the part of the prople of the Confederate States for the right to govern theinsetoes and to revist subjugation by the North. (Iear , hear.) They occupy a territory ag large a: England, France, Spain and Austria together—they are 10,000,000 in nuinber—they are chiefly producers of {mportunt raw matorials, and buyers of all kinds of manufactured goods. Thoir pursuits, soil, climate and production, cre totally differeut {rom those of the North, They think it their in- terest to buy where they can buy cheapest and to sell where they can sell dearest. In all this the North differs, to'o clo from them, and now makes war upon us to enforce supremacy of their mistaken ideas and selfish interest. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In defence of their liberties and govereign independence, the Confederate States and people aro united and resolute. They are invaded by a Fower numbering 20,000,000; yet for eight months has the Confederate government ‘successfully resisted—aye, repelled—that invasion, along a military frontier of 1,060 miles, Though cut off by blockade’ from all foreign trade, their internal resources have been adequate to the equipment and maintenance in the field of an army of over 250,000 troops. Can all this be, and yet these 6,060,000 of whites be divided? The idea is preposterous, So much has been gaid about our efforts to obtain foreign intervention that I y be allowed to declare emphatically that the Confiderate States have neither sought nor cerired it. They can maintain their inceyend- ence intact by their own strength. As to their recog tion. by the Powers of the world, that of course they desire. ‘They are a people, a nation, exhibiting cluments which few States of the world possess. But (hey reason to complain, nor do they feel aggrieved, be these great Powers sce fit for a season to defer their formal recognition and reception into the family of natious. How- ever they y differ from them as to the period when their recognition shall tuko place, they fully understand that such action is purely a question to be determined by those count ies each for tself and with reference to its own interests and view! of public policy. Othor nations having trading relations with us have quite as mach te ter to send ministers and consuls to us as we have to send such representatives to them. (Hear, hear.) Why, then, shall there not be peace? Simply because the North in its pride will not admit that to be a fret—a faut accom- pli—which old England, followed by the first Powers of. {uropo, has recognized, and which. tho confederate go yernment and armies have repeatedly demonstrated to be astern and bloody fact—the fact that we are a bel iger- ent Power. There can be no basis for negotiations, or for peace proposals, or consultations so long as the Confede- rates are deemed to be and are treated as rebels, But when our adversary shall become sufticiently e treat us as a belligerent Power, the morning of peace wilt denen in the horizon. When that hour sh a I may say the confederate govern upon one point only—its honor and he great interests of peace and bu much that is merely material or of lary. im) (Mr. Yancey sat down amid loud and continued cheering.) THE PARIS PRESS ON THE DISRUPTION OF THE UNION, ‘The Paris Constitutionnel argues that Americon ingrati- tude enables France to witness the former's disruption with the utmost indifference, ‘There was an active demand among seamen for berths on board vessels bound to America, ioned, it was said, by the high wages offered by the federal govorn. ment.

The Great Naval Expedition of the Union —Who Holds Back Cotton from the Commercial World—Cotton from Ja- maica, de. Ker, Kee [Froin the London Timea, Nov. 11.] For the moment the army before Washington occupies Jess of public attention in America than the naval expedi- tion which is to make a descent on the Southern coast. On the 28th of October everything was ready.; the troops were on board the large fleet of transporte, General Sher- man iad embarked in the Wabash frigate, and had issued his directions respecting the landing of the men. A powerful naval force, comprising twenty-four gunboats, each carrying four guns, is to protect the troops in their janding, and, unless tho published orders are intended to deceive the enemy, it may be possible for those acquainted with the coast to form a guess as to the point which this powerful force is threat- ‘ening. The surf boats and others are capable of landing at onco between three and four thousand mon. The largest can holdfone hundved!men, the smalter ones seven- ty each. ‘The landing {fs to be in three jines; the boats not only ofeach company, but of each regiment and brigade, will land abroast, and, as far as possible, of battle, The number of troops commanded by & Sherman is not as great as first reported, but it is sufficiently formidable. ‘There'are about 20,000 soldiers, principally New Englanders and New Yorkers, and the flect will furnish a naval brigade, should the landing be successfully elfected, Iv is of No use to spoculate on matters which will be certainties in a few days; but from the general feeling of the Northern people and the past policy of their government it is pretty certain that this oxpedi- tion is intended for the capture of some Southern city or harbor which will noJonly give a good military position, but also enable the government to proclaim the raising of the Wockade at one point from which coiton can Le Lroupht, ‘The Cabinet of Washington is, of course, desi the charge of depriving Europe and the world of one of the great necessaries of life should cease to be valid. The immense interest of England, and in a scarcely less de- gree of France, in theexpor! of colton from the South, cannot but prejudice the commercial classes of both countries against @ government which appears to be the obstacle to the world’s trade, In_spite of the affected indiiference of the North- to European opinion on the war, they must feel that with the growing embarrasements of our manufacturers and the distress of our working classes thero must be an increase of bitterness against themselyes, which may produce inconvenience and even danger. It is desirable, therefore, to show that not they, but their opponents, ara the real withholdera of tho ection supply. Jf they can seize a port and open it even nominally to the trade, they thereby take away the grounds of complaint which Europe has against them. ‘They show thac it is not they who «prevent cotton coming out, but that it is the Southerners who keep it in. That they will get cotton in any large quantity no one can believe, for tho Confederate’ or the State governments will, of course, take care that every bale, and probably every’ negro, shall be removed from the neighborhood ‘of the’ euemy. But still the federals will have sattsfied to some extent the demands foreign notions, inasmuch ag they will bo able to say to’ us or to the French, ‘Here is a port, enter it and take all the cotton you can got; you aro at full liberty to trade with all whom you can ‘find to trade with you.” The military objects of the oxpedition do not seem quite so clear. ‘Seldom in the hisiory of war has much good been done by the occupation ef points on au cnomy’s coast, and on such an Tmmeneo territory little impression can be made by an expeditionary force advancing from the sea, aud baving no base of operations except its vessels and some half-ruined town. ‘The hope of weakening the Southern army on the Potomac by a diversion has, no doubt, had mich to do with the despatch of the expedi- tim, ‘The necessity of being ready at more points than cne will bear hard on the Confederate government, and, though the South has an t sysem of railways, aud can bring mento auy point of the coust in a very few days, yet a considerable force, and, what is still moro important, a large quantity of the materiais of war, must be kept in each of the great Southern cities in order to prevent @ surprise aud ihe loss of many millions worth of property, As to the creation pion parly in tho neighborhocd of the eaptured city, itmay be, that is a staf on which the goverment can y,for, oven granting that there is a section of villigg to compromise and rostore the Unioa, rdly likely that ony adhesion to th ral cause will be possib:e in the presence of a Confederate.army i of a people exasperated by invasi st show what the federal calculations are, and ac they are justified.

Pedro V. de Alcantara (Maria Fernando Miguel Rafael Gabriel Gonzaga, &e., &e.,) King of Portugal and the Al- garves, was born at Lisbon on the 16th of September, 1837. He was the son of the late Queen of Portugal, Donna Maria II. da Gloria, and of the King Dgm Fernanto de Saxe Coburg Gotha. He succeeded to th® throne o his mother, under his father’s regency, on the 15th of November, 1853, and visited England and France at thg time of the Universal exhibition of 1855. He also visiteg Switzerland and Belgium previous to his majority, which he attained at the ago of eighteen years, on the 15th of November, 1857. He, however, took the reins of power on the 16th of Septem. ber, 1855. The treaties with Franco and Belgium, for the extradition of malefactors, and with the States of South America for navigation and commerce were tho principal acts of the regency of his fathor.

G., K. ©. and F. R. By the latest arrival from pe we learn of the do- cease of quite @ number of distinguished personages, and among thom is to bo recorded the name of Genoral Sir Howard Douglas, who expired on the 8th instant, at the ripe old age of 85 years, As asoldier, politician and savant, Sir Howard enjoyed a very enviable reputation in Europe, and was well known at this side of the Atlantic some thirty years ago, having occupied the position of Governor of Now Brunswick from 1828 to 1829. But, though deservedly ranking high as a statesman and scien- tifle scholar, Sir Howard’s name is most particularly ideuti- fied with military matters, for which he hada decked pro- ference and genius, as shown by his long and distinguished career in active service, as well as Meg the many able treatises on fortifications and gunnery which he has writ- ten on those very important subjects. He entered the army in very early life, served in Portugal and Spain in 1808-9, took a prominent part in the expedition to Waleheren in 1810, returned to the Peninsula in 1811 and served there until the cloge of the campaign of 1312. At the time of his death Sir Howard occupied the honorable position of a Licutenant General in the British army, and had re- ceived many marks of public favor, suilicient to compen- sate him for all the sacrifices and arduous labors he had endvred in the cause of his country. Besides enjoying for six years the lucrative post of Governor of one of the British North American provinces, he also had the honor to serve as Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands from 1835 to 1840, and represented Liverpool in Parlia- ment from 1842 to 1847, General Douglas was descended lineaily from one of the most illustrious families of Scot- laut—the Douglas of Lochleven. His father was Charles Douglas, Exq., an eminent naval officer, who was created a baronet for the important sorvice he performed in 1776 by forcing a passage up the river St. Lawrence and re- Hoving Quebec, then closely invested by the American forces. M. Geoffroy de Saint Hilaire. {From the London Post, Nov. 12. We have received by telegraphic despatch from Paris the announcement of the death of the distinguished French naturalist, M. Geoffroy de Saint Hilaire, which occurred on Sunday. Isidore Geoffroy de Saint Hilaire, born in Paris in 1805, was the son of the illustrious Stephen Geoffroy do Saint Hilaire, who died in 1844. His father’s reputation inspired young Isidore from his earliest years witha love for the study of uatural his- tory. In 1826 he published his account of ‘‘Mammifera,”” and at the ‘age of twenty-seven (in 1833) was elected a momber of the Academy of Science in the room of M. Latreille. He afterwards became successively Professor of Zoology at the Museum, Diroctor of the Menagerie, In- spector General and Counsellor of the University. In + 1845 (April 15) he was appointed officer of the Legion of Honer. As @ zoologist he extended the ideas and ex- periments of his father, his especial aim being the mu'ti- piication of the number of the species of animals useful to man for food or for labor. He founded the ‘Imperial Zoological Society of Acclimatation,” of which he was elected President in 1855. In connection with this society ho is well known in England as having proposed, and en- -deavored practically to carry out, the use of horseftesh as an article of food. M. de St, Hilaire’s works on natu- ral history are very numerous; among them may be speci- fied ‘‘Lecons de Teratologie” (1836) , “Lecons de Mammo- logie’”’ (1836), ‘Lecons de Zoologie Gonerale” (1848), “Histoire Generale et Particuliere des Anomalies de l’Or- ganization chez Homme et les Animaux’? (1832-6) , “Histoire Naturelle des Insects et des Mo!lusques”’ (1841), “Vie, Travaux et Doctrines Scientifiques d’Etienne Gvot- froy Saint Hilnire’’ (1847), a ‘Report to the Minister of Agriculture on the Domestication or Naturalization of Useful Animals,” &c. Conjointly with M, Brogniart and other scrans, he edited the natural history for Dupetit Thouar’s voyage round the world in the Venus frigate. The early death of this iltustrious naturalist will be much deplored by scientific men in all countries, Great Britgin, ‘The final obsequies of the lato T."B, McManus werg celebrated at Dublin on Sunday, the 10th inst. ‘The re- mains were taken to the cemetery of Glusnevin on a magnificent funeral car, and an immense procession which included the Californian deputation and goyeral bands of music, accompanied them to their last resting _The number of persons who “assisted”? in the @ is compated at upwards of fifty thousand, on Victoria was about to pay a three days’ visit to the Priuce of Wales at Cambridge.
