But we shall not forget that those institutions were not the creation of a day or the simultane ous production of a single generation ; that, on the contrary, they have been formed by successive additions and improvements ; that they possess a flexibility which enables them to be adapted to the growing intelligence and the growing wants and requirements of each successive generation ; and, though I may be unable to satisfy your Lordship's very natural curiosity as to the precise nature of the measures which we shall bring forward, I ven ture to assure you that they will be couched in a spirit of not endeavouring to serve this or that sec tion of the community, but the whole people—not to legislate for the high or for the low, for the rich or for the poor, but for the well-understood benefit and advantage of all classes. (Cheers.) As I have said that those institutions under which we have the happiness to live are only an aggregate of suc cessive improvements heaped up by successive generations, so I trust that when the present Government comes to a close it will not do so with out leaving something in the shape of a contribu tion to those improvements which it is our anxious and earnest desire to make, consistently with the maintenance of the great fundamental institutions of the country. (Cheers.) I must apologise for having detained you so long, yet I beg to assure you that if the Government required any stimulus to exertion—if any additional motives were wanted to induce them to devote their best faculties of mind and body to the duties in which they are en gaged—they would be found in the kind and cordial reception which you have given tows this evening; for, to deserve the esteem of such an assembly as the present, and of our fellow countrymen generally, is the highest aim of our ambition as it is the best reward of our labours in the public service. (Cheers.) The noble earl concluded by proposing "The Health of the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the com pliment, and proposed " The House of Lords," asso ciating with the toast the name of Lord Brougham. The toast having been duly honoured, Lord BROUGHAM rose to respond.—He ascribed the honour which had been done him to the fact that he had the privilege of beingh citizen of Lon don—a privilege which he highly esteemed. The city of London had been well described as the cradle of our liberties, and he believed it would long remain true to its ancient traditions. The purity of the judicial bench and the independence of the bar were the best securities for rational free dom. In this country the bar had always upheld its independence, and in France, too, the same hon ourable profession had displayed equal courage and fearlessness. He believed that the bar of France would, in the worst of times—in 'worse times even than any yet seen in that country—continue to be animated by the same noble spirit. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The health of the Judges," which was cordially received and suitably acknowledged by Lord Chief Baron Pollock. The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the House of Commons," which was received with great applause. Mr. DISRAELI—I rise on behalf of the House of Commons, which it is my high honour to represent on this occasion, to thank you for the compliment which nsw and for many gessrations has been offered on this anniversary by the corporation of London to that assembly—cordially offered, I believe, and cordially accepted. Nor is it wonderful that there should be this reciprocity of feeling between the House of Commons and the corporation of this great city, when we recollect that the history of our coun try contains a record of their united efforts on so many memorable occasions to establish and to vin dicate the liberties of England. We cannot forget that in more than one instance the House of Com mons has found, not only support, but security in the city of London—that on more than one occa sion it has appealed to its love :of freedom and its public spirit under circumstances of great difficulty. (Hear, hear.) Believe me, my lords and gentlemen, the recollection of those times, trying and critical in the history of our constitution, is still fresh in the memory of the House of Com mons. These things are not looked upon by that assembly as musty legends, but the glorious tradi tion has at all influenced its opinions, and I trust the day may never arrive when between the Horse of Commons and thiscitizens of London there may not be identity of sentiment and identity of interest. (Cheers.) On their part I beg to return you their thanks, and I hope the time is far distant when their health will be proposed in this chamber without being recognised as that of a body entitled to the support and gratitude of Englishmen. (Cheers.) Among the remaining toasts were—" The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex," " The Bishop of Lon don and the Clergy," " The Lady Mayoress,"" The Bar of England and Sir R. &then," and " The Members for the City and Lord J. Russell." The musical arrangements, which were excellent, were under the direction of Mr. Henry Ball, in the vocal department, and Mr. Godfrey, jun., in the instrumental department. The band of the Gre nadiers performed several admired operatic selec tions during the banquet. The dinner was supplied by the Messrs. Staples, whose arrangements were of the most satisfactory order. The following was the generall bill of fare:- 250 tureens of real turtle, containing 5 pints each ; 200 bottles of sherbet, 6 dishes of fish, 30 entres, 4 boiled turkeys and oysters, 60 roast pul lets, 60 dishes of fowls, 46 ditto of capons, 50 French pies, 60 pigeon pies ; 53 hams, ornamented ; 43 tongues, two quarters of house lamb, 2 barons of beef, 3 rounds of beef, 2 stewed rumps of beef, 13 sirloins, rumps, and ribs of beef; 6 dishes of asparagus, 60 dishes of mashed and other po tatoes ; 44 dishes of shell-fish, 4 dishes of prawns, 140 jellies, 50 blancmanges, 40 dishes of tarts, creamed; 40 dishes of almond pastry, 30 dishes of orange and other tourtes, 20 Chantilly baskets, 60 dishes of mince pies, and 56 salads. The Removes.-80 roast turkeys, 6 leverets, 80 pheasants, 24 geese, 40 dishes of partridges, 15 dishes of wild fowl, and 2 pea fowls. Dessert.-100 pineapples, from 21b. to 31b. each; 200 dishes of hothouse grapes ; 250 ice creams, 50 dishes of apples, 100 dishes of pears, 60 ornamented Savoy cakes, 75 plates of walnuts, 80 plates of dried fruits and preserves, 50 plates of preserved ginger, 60 plates of rout cakes and chips, 46 plates of brandy cherries. Mr. Harker acted with his usual efficiency as toastmaster. keep the navy in a state of vigorous efficiency, and maintain with firm resolve the supremacy of Eng land upon the seas. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Health of the Foreign Ministers present," coupling with the toast the name of his Excellency the French Ambassador. (Drunk amid much applause.) The Duke de MALAKHOFF, on rising to respond was received with loud and prolonged cheering. He said he had to return his cordial thanks to the Lord Mayor and the company there assembled for the high honour just done to the corps diplomatique in general, and to himself in particular. The efforts of the Foreign Ministers resident at this Court were directed towards the maintenance of peace and harmony between the dcfferent nations of Europe, and thereby towards the promotion of their happi ness and prosperity. (Cheers.) He had the fullest confidence in the profound wisdom of his Sovereign and in his determination consistent with the dig nity of his Crown an d the preservation of his hon our, to do all in his power to prevent those conflicts which might trouble the tranquillity of the world. It was the sincere and earnest desire ofthe Emperor to strengthen the friendly alliance between France and England —a work to the accomplishment of which all his own personal exertions, as the repre sentative of his Majesty, were also strenuously directed. (Cheers.) But, quitting the domain of politics, he begged permission to propose a toast. He asked them to join him in drinking " Prosperity to the City of London and to England, and may their commercial transactions he increased." (Loud cheers, amid which his Excellency resumed his seat). The LORD MAYOR then proposed, in highly eulo gistic terms, " The heal M-of his predecessor in office, Sir Robert Carden, M.P.," which was re ceived with much cordiality, and duly acknowledgd. The LORD MAYOR again rose, and proposed the health of the Lord Chancellor. In doing so, he re marked that the elevation of his lordship to the highest judicial post under the Crown had given ardent satisfaction not only to every member of the profession to which he belonged, but to his fellow citizens at large. (Cheers.) It had been feared that the state of political parties would have pre cluded his possession of the chiefrize, but one of the first, and he (the Lord Mayor believed one of the most popular acts of the present Ministry upon coming into office, was to raise Lord Chelmsford to Since he had been ) at the "man had been made Chancellord wo e f o o r l s the a e he e . p had place," c H de (Hear, a r ron, proved hear.) a the " place for the man." (Cheers.) The LORD CHANCELLOR, in acknowledging the toast, said he felt that the greater part of the com pliments just paid to him by the Lord Mayor were due to the high office he held rather than to him self, but upon this great occasion, when homage was being paid to every part of the constitution, it was not likely that the law would be overlooked, asithe law, if properly administered, was the great secu rity for all popular power and principles. (Hear, hear.) In preserving the privileges of the people the law might be considered the outwork which sheltered them from every assault. The amendment and consolidation of the law must necessarily be a work of time ; and speaking in the presence of many veteran reformers, he was sure they would agree with him that it would not be desirable to attempt at one time more than they had power to achieve. Some complained of the multiplicity of our laws, and of the impossibility of s i mp lif ying them. Now the object would be to remove that which was obsolete, and consolidate that which was scattered. He believed that at no period of our history had the law been more impartially ad ministered than it was at the present moment, when every man who entered a court of justice knew that justice would be meted out to him. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the health of the Earl of Derby. (Loud cheers.) • Since they had last met in that hall, a change of Adminis tration had taken place, and the present Govern ment had had to carry out the measures propounded by their predecessors, and place the Administration of the country upon the best footing they could. Having done so the session of Parliament came to a close, but they were about eterning upc* a new session, which he hoped would be characterised by measures calling forth the gratitude of the country and of posterity. A vide and brilliant clreer lay before the present advisers of the Crown. They had- an opportunity presented them of reforming the institutions of the country in accordance with the wishes of the people. (Hear, hear.) They might inscribe on their banner " retrenchment, economy, and reform,"' as regarded our expendi ture ; they had power to simplify and cheapen the law ; they had power to introduce measures likely to conduce to the material and moral wealth of th© people ; and they had the power still further to develop the vast resources of India, China, and the other countries of the East. He had great pleasure in giving the " Health of the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers." (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with much cordiality. The Earl of DERBY, in rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with loud cheers. He said— My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, while I feel it to be a high privilege to have the honour of an invitation to attend an assembly of this nature, I hold it to be not less a duty than a pleasure on the part of any public man who has the opportunity of profitting by it to avail himself of-this occasion, and by his presence here to testify his respect for that office which has this day been assumed by the first magistrate of the first city in the world. (Cheers.) Unfortunately these anniversaries occur at a period of the year when most of those engaged in the business of the nation are enjoying that re laxation from their Parliamentary labours, at a dis tance from the metropolis, which hardly enables them to attend, and consequently comparatively few of our public men are able to pay that tribute of respect which is justly due to the chief magistrate of London, in addition to those whose official duties detain them in town, and at the same time procure for them the gratification we are now enjoy ing. (Hear, hear.) My Lord Mayor, on such oc casions as the present there is nothing, in the ordinary sense of the word, of a political character; there is nothing, I mean, of a party character ; all party conside ra ti ons and all opinions upon political questions arc here lost in a most useful and salutary oblivion. These meetings are, as it were, the type and evidence of that harmony which has always, thank God, subsisted between the various classes of those who, each in their separate departments, are labouring for the public service. They give an opportunity of testifying, on the one side and on the other, that mutual respect which English men always feel for the persons and situations of those who to the best of their ability are dis charging public duties in the service of their country. (Hear, hear.) We, my Lord Mayor, on these occasions accept the honour of an invitation not only as a mark of our personal respect for the individual who presides over the affairs of this pearcd, but the amount of pauperism in the last week of September just past was considerably be low that of the corresponding week of September of the previous year. Such, m y L or d M ayor, i s our situation at home. Now let us cast our eyes abroad, and I rejoice to say—and I say it with most entire confidence—that we have every reason to feel entire reliance upon the preservation to the world at large of the inestimable blessings of peace. (Cheers.) Ido not say that complications may not arise, or that differences may not present themselves between different countries ; but this I do say—and I say it with the confidence that I am speaking nothing but the bare truth—that all the great Powers of Europe are fully convinced, if not of the sinfulness of war, at all events of the n ecessary evils attendant upon a state of .war, and that the valuable labours of diplomacy are directed—and never were they employed with more success and more zeal than at the present time—to smooth diffi culties, to remove obstacles, and to find in every difference which may occur between various Powers a peaceable rather than a hostile solution. (Cheers.) Turning next to the great empire of India—if cannot say that the hostilities, or rather the blood shed, which are going on there have altogether ceased, I hope I may congratulate the country on the fact that, in the main, the organised rebellion is put down. For months—perhaps for years to come—there will possibly be bands of marauders, partly from desperation, partly from inclination, harassing our troops, and disturbing the peace of the country ; but, I repeat, the organised rebellion is at an end, and after the season which has inter fered with oar military operations has terminated, I doubt not that the energy and abilities of Lord Clyde, supported as he has been by large reinforce ments from this country, aided by the discretion and judgment of the Governor-General, and also— I may, perhaps, venture to express a hope, by the gracious message of peace and mercy which her Majesty was advised to send out upon her accession to her Indian Empire—a message to all classes of those who returned to their allegiance— I trust that all these combined will shortly restore not only the titpremacy of our power, but tranquil lity and contentment to our extensive possessions in Hindustan. If we go further eastward I rejoice to think that the negotiations which have been car ried on, and the measures which have been taken, by her Majesty in conjunction with her august ally the Emperor of the French, have led to a con clusion of those somewhat anomalous hostilities, of the commencement and the origin of which I will say nothing, but of which I rejoice to be able to say that, without further bloodshed, they have now been terminated; and that by a peace not less hon ourable to this country than I am persuaded it will be advantageous to the interests of commerce and civilisation generally. I should do gross injustice to one of the most deserving public servants I know if I did not take this, the earliest public opportu nity I have had, of declaring that for the success of these negotiations England is deeply indebted to the ability, the tact. the determination, and the perseverance of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, the Earl of Elgin. (Cheers.) By that distinguished nobleman a further and most unexpected extension -of our commercial relations has been negotiated with the hitherto secluded, but not unimportant, empire of Japan. (Cheers.) I believe that that treaty, if properly made use of, will tend greatly to extend the commercial interests of this country; but I trust that, speaking in the midst of this great commercial metropolis, I shall not be thought pre sumptuous or impertinent if I venture to say that the advantages to be derived by this country will greatly depend upon the good judgment, the peace able demeanour, and the orderly conduct of the agents of those whose commercial enterprise may lead them to embark in speculations in that distant land. It is of the' first importance—and I trust you will forgive me for saying so—that those who go out there as the pioneers of British commerce, should be more careful than I am afraid our coun GEORGE HOBSON begs to call the attention of Gentlemdn to his New Autumnal Trousers, 21s. to 255.

The grand banquet given by the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs to celebrate their accession to office took place at the Guildhall. The hall was deco rated for the occasion with all the splendour which usually characterises this time-honoured civic fes tival. The principal ornaments consisted of a pro fusion of arms, trophies, banners, figures in full 'suits of armour, mounted and on foot, and flags of all nations. The architectural details of the in terior were traced in outline by numerous gas-jets, which cast a brilliant light upon the assembled throng of guests•beneath. When the whole of the company, including Ministers of State, comman ders in the army and navy, civic functionaries, the corps diplomatique, the judges and members of the episcopal bench, all in their official costumes and accompanied by their wives and daughters en grande toilette had assembled, the scene was alto gether a dazzling and animated one. The principal guests began to arrive about 6 o'clock, and were received by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress in the chamber devoted to the deliberations •of the Common Council. The ap pearance of the French Ambassador, the Earl of Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and the leading members of the Government, was hailed with loud cheers. Among those present were, the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Malmesbury,Lord Colchester, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Car narvon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gene ra l Peel, Mr. Secretary Walpole, Mr. Henley, Lord Stanley, Sir E. B. Lytton, Sir J. Pakington, Lord J. Manners, Lord Lovaine, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, M.P., Mr. Hardy, M.P., the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Brougham, Lord I. Russell, the Bishop of London, Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Baron Bramwell, Baron Watson, Lord Justice Turner, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Justice Byles, Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, Sir R.

The entire num ber of guests present exceeded 1,000. The loving cup having circulated, The LORD MAYOR rose and proposed "the Health of her Majesty the Queen," which was received with loyal enthusiasm. " The Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," were next given from the chair, and duly honoured by the company. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Army and Navy," coupling with the former service the name of Major-General Peel, and with the latter the name of Sir J. Pakington. General PEEL felt that it was onlyin consequence of the position he held as Secretary of State for War that he had been called upon to respond to the toast on behalf of the army. He did not, however, regard this compliment as one paid to an indivi dual. He attached a far higher value to it. He looked upon it as a proof that the country was satisfied with the services rendered by the army— a satisfaction which extended to all grades of that army, from the highest to the lowest. (Cheers.) There was not an individual belonging to the army who was not included in this tribute of approbation. As he could not appropriate to himself any of the praises which had been accorded to the army. , he could state the more freely that, in his opinion, there never was a time when the army of this country was more entitled to the admiration of their fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) He need scarcely allude to the deeds which had recently been performed by that army in India, where he hoped and trusted it would bring the mutiny to a speedy termination ; and rebellion he t h u g thought mustn o when he stated that no less than 9 . 3,000 of her Ma down he j d s e o o s o u t n h y s b c t could r e o x o t p i b s n e g w u e n i e s i t b . e e e r d t n a . i o n w e B d that e n fo I r n e the d isai: sitting might announce that the army had that day received an addition which he was sure would be hailed with gratification, not only by every officer in the service, but by every Englishmen. In that night's Gazette her Majesty , announced that she had appointed the Prince of Wales a colonel in the ser vice. (Cheers.) They had now, therefore, another Royal Prince in the army; and he must express his deep regret at the unavoidable absence of H.R.H. the Commander-in-Chief (the Duke of Cambridge), for he might say, without flattery, that they were indebted to his Royal Highness for the present dis cipline of the army, which had never been excelled at any period. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAKINGTON returned thanks for the com pliment paid to the navy, and observed that it was satisfactory for him to feel, when he was called upon to acknowledge the toast in the presence of distin guished officers of the naval service, that he was trymen have sometimes shown themselves to .be not to wound prejudices, to ridicule or trample upon customs which appear strange to them, but the violation of which cannot but produce unfa vourable impressions of foreigners upon the minds of natives with whom they are only beginning to trade. I have drawn a picture—not I am.sure an exaggerated or a too flattering one—of the state of our affairs both abroad and at home. Do I claim credit on that account for her Majesty's present ad visers ? Ido no such thing. Much of what I have said arises from causes wholly beyond their con trol. I speak not for the glorification of the Go vernment of which I am a member, but as an Eng lishman to an assembly of Englis hmen to whom the welfare and prosperity of their common country cannot, to any one of them, be an object of indif ference. (Hear.) I have stated that I entertain the most cordial and confident belief in the preserva tion of the peace of Europe, and in the presence of some of those who worthily represent their respec tive Sovereigns in this country I trust I shall be allowed to express the ground, and I may add the policy, upon which, as far as this country is con cerned, I rest my confident hope that peace will not be disturbed. My belief is that the policy on the part of this country which is best calculated to maintain the peace of the world is, in the first place, a firm but temperate maintenance of• our own rights ; in the next place, a stu dious and careful recog nition of, and respect for, the rights of othrs, together with an anxious desire not to interfere unnecessarily with the internal affairs of other States; and also a determination not willingly to give or to take offence; a determination, if offence unhappily arise, to have reference to the principle which, to its endless honour, was embodied in the protocols of the Conference of Paris, viz., to resort in the first instance not to hostilities but to the good offices and the mediation of some friendly power. Last of all, my Lord Mayor, I hold, as the cardinal point of all our foreign policy, the firm aid unflinching adherence, in spirit as well as in the letter, to every treaty obligation into which this country may have entered. These are the principles on which her Majesty's present Government desire to act; and these are the principles which I should be indeed deeply grieved and mortified if, whenever we have . . to account to Parliament for any part of our con duct, we should not be able to show that we have steadily adhered to and inflexibly maintained. The result of these principles is this—that we are at this moment upon the most friendly terms with all the great Powers of the world,without exception; and more especially, I venture to say—corroborating that which has already fallen from my gallant and illustrious friend the noble marshal who so worthily represents the Emperor of the French—that al although it is absurd to suppose that between any two countries there can be on all subjects perfect and entire identity of feelings, yet that never was there a moment in the history of the two nations when their relations stood upon a more perfectly friendly footing, or when on the one side and on the other there was a more earnest desire, consis tently with the honour of both countries, to main tain that alliance which has so long subsisted for their mutual happiness, or amore firni and thorough conviction that its maintenance is an incalculable metropolis, but as showing the veneration in which we hold the high functions Which you are now called upon to discharge. (Cheers.) You honour us with an invitation to this banquet and you confer upon us the compliment which I am now acknowledging, not for any personal merits of our own, but because, by the favour of our Sovereign we are engaged in the performance of arduous duties which require the devotion of every faculty of our minds, and the service of emery hour of our time. (Hear.) It may be permitted to me, holding the situation which I do, and having the deep interest which I must have in the welfare of that country the administration of whose affairs is in great mea• sure, confided to my charge, with feelings of thank filness and gratification to compare the state of the kingdom at this moment with that which unfortu tunately prevailed lagt year when, my Lord Mayor, your predecessor assumed the office which you now so worthily fill. It is not necessary for me, in order to heighten the picture, to draw a contrast between the then situation and the present, or to remindyou of that condition of gloom, distress, and difficulty which extended over the whole commercial world, of which some here no doubt had painful experience, and from which few indeed of those extensively en gaged in mercantile affairs can have escaped alto gether unscathed. (Hear, hear.) Nor is it necessary for me to remind you of the apprehensions, the doubts, and the anxieties which existed with regard to that formidable revolt by which our Indian em pire was at that time shaken to its foundation. But, my Lord Mayor, a brighter picture is now before us. I rejoice to think that there are all the indica tions in the country of returning prosperity. We have been blessed by Almighty Providence with a harvest of more than usual abundance, which, in the south of the kingdom at least, has been col lected under circumstances of unparalleled success and good fortune. We have a revenu e which fully equals the anticipations of my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Money is abun dant. Trade and comme rc e are slowly, but, I hope, surely reviving from the panic and distress of the past unhappy year. Labour is amply remunerated; there is abundant employment for it, and as a proof that the fact is so, I am able to state that, whereas between September of last year and March of the present year there was a fearful augmentation in the rate and extent of pauperism, not only ha that augmentation altogether disap ore at liberty than they would be to express his conviction that the discipline and the high charac ter of the navy were never more conspicuous than at the present moment. He was sure he expressed the sentiments of every member of the naval pro fession when he said that the highest and best re ward they could receive for their services was to be assured of the good opinion and gratitude of their high fellow-cou n t r y men. Referring to the statement which had bee n ma d e b y his right hon. friend the Secretary member e m bero o f f .State the of gratification fi r Royal War,tmifiihleyae wasion must tonao d wt he add that yiietat i had been a source that profession. (Cheers.) For himself he might be allowed to say that he felt deeply the responsibility of the position he held, and mi g ht a d d that his col leagues concurred with him in the conviction that one of the first duties of the Administration of this country was to take care that the efficiency of the navy Of England should be maintained. (Cheers.) He believed if there was one point upon whiclang lishthen of all parties and of all stations were unani mous, it was that our naval strength was essential to our national power. (Hear.) And nowhere, he believed, was that feeling more strongly enter tained than in that great centre of our national com merce in which they were assembled. (Cheers.) The merchant ships of England covered every sea. Within the last few weeks fresh fields of enterprise had been opened to their commerce, and he hoped they would never forget that this gigantic world wide circulation ebbed and flowed from the little heart of England. If anything were to arrest that stream, no language could describe the ruin and disaster that must result. England, if she was to be prosperous, if she was to be peaceful, must main tain her naval strength ; and in these days, when the steam engine was essential to every man-of-war, and when the size of our ships and the power of their armaments were constantly increasing, he trusted the country would remember that our naval efficiency could not be maintained without a large expenditure. The public had a right to expect that this great department should be managed with all practicable economy but they must also expect, and he hoped. they would demand, that, whatever might be the necessary expense, the Government should advantage not only to the two Powers them selves, but to the interests of the world at large. In speaking of her Majesty's present Government, my Lord Mayor, you have been kind enough to gi ve us a species of programme for the coming session. That programme is somewhat extensive, but you have omitted to show us in what manner and by what assistance we may be enabled to carry the whole of it into effect. (A laugh.) I cannot help thinking that the advice so kindly tendered to her Majesty's Government was hardly intended so much in the spirit of advice, as thrown out to elicit an expression of our opinions. (Hear, hear.) You have bait e d the hook, no doubt, with great skill and address—(a laugh)—but some of us have lived many years in the world and have learned to be somewhat cautious. We do not intend to take the bait. (Laughter.) We prefer to be judged by our actions rather than by our inten tions, by our performances rather than by thir pro mises, and, with whatever respect I may regard this important assembly, I cannot persuade myself that this is an occasion on which to anticipate the speech to be delivered from the Throne at the com mencement of next session, or on which to takeout of her Majesty's mouth, from which it would fall so much more gracefully than, from mine, the announce ment of the intentions of her Government. But this I venture to say, that, after enjoying that brief period of partial repose which alone a Minister of State can hope to obtain at any time of the year, I am actively, daily, and assiduously engaged with my colleagues in considering and maturing the details of those measures of lega l, social, financial, and political improvement which I hope by the com mencement of the session to be able to submit to the impartial judgment of Parliament. (Cheers.) As a Conservative Government we took with reverence and adhere with affection to the great institutions of this country, under which I will venture to say the people enjoy as great an am)unt of civil and religious liberty, as perfect and entire a freedom and independence of thonght, word, and action as any nation on the fa ce of the earth now or at any former time. (Cheers.) FISHMONGERS' COMPANY. The Prime Warden and livery of this ancient corporation entertained' a large and distinguished company yesterday evening 'at their hall, including the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ebury, Sir C. Bright, Mr. G. Moore, Mr. Cunliffe, and several of the leading merchants of London. Mr. Thomas Baddington, the Prime Warden, presided. The usual toasts of the Queen, the Royal family, and the military and naval services having been honoured, the Prime Warden gave, " The House of Lords and the House of Commons." Lord EBURY, in returning thanks, remarked that, although in his 25 years' experience in the House of Commons, he might perhaps be better able to speak as to the claims of that body upon the respect of the country than to those of the House of Lords, he could state that his shortexi perience in th e ouse of Lords in no way dimin is hed the respect h e h a d a l wa y s entertained for that assembly since his first entrance i nto public life ; and he was sure it would be grat h i rltis had beengito the mem bers of it to know that their drunk by a body that, while it ie had never failed to Commons of assert the independence of t . ced their respect for Eng land, had at the same timethe th e e vl p n o d wers that be." " The Health of The PRIME WARDEN propose the Earl of Shaftesbury. The toast was drunk with three times three. The Earl of SHAFTESBURI, in returning thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him, expressed much .ftil gratification at havin g b een in vited by the Wor shipful Fishmongers' Company to that magnificent hall, to partake on this occasion of their generous hospitality; and he acknowledged, moreover, the special tokens of approbation which had just been conferred upon him for the course he had thought it his duty to pursue. He hoped these commendations would encourage others to go on in the same course after him, and that their exertions would be blessed by God with greater success. The chairman had touched upon one matter of great in terest to this city, and the whole community—the education of the masses of the people. Now, he must say that at least for some time to come— though he knew not what might be done hereafter —no combined and national system could be esta blished. But we ought not to lose the present time, or throw away the present opportunities, and while some were deliberating about the system of education to be adopted, it would be well to vs , filch instraments and s work upon moll mitri. ils as were already at hand. There were thousand and millions of the population yet to be brought within the sound of the Gospel, yet needing to be instructed in all the branches of useful and secular t imper.. irninedely • • • available, and, wit_ all their imperfections, th e i r working had been attended with the best results. He might refer to the state of things 20 years ago, and ask any one to compare it with the present. He might ask, what would now be the actual con dition of this great metropolis, and of the immense population of other large cities, if the educational efforts bad not been made which happily were made --if the promoters of education had been disheart ened, and had said that because we could not have a national sYsteni of education we should have no education at all ? Why, our people would have been a horde of savages ; instead of being the most loyal, the most peaceful, and the most praiseworthy on the face of the earth, they would have been a tur bulent mass, which not only we could not have controlled by the police, but who could not have been kept in order by our standing army multi plied fiftyfold. (Applause.) Lord Shaftesbury then remarked that he had nothing to say with reference to the House of Lords, to which body it was his privilege to belong. At a great public meeting not long ago he observed some very erro neous but very weighty words fell from the lips of a very distinguished orator, who, speaking of the House of Lords, said it was a proud, exclusive, arrogant body, and that the inscription over the doors of that house should be one which bore these ominous words, "No dogs admitted here." (A laugh.) Now he (Lord Shaftesbury) would take this oppor tunity of 'saying that neither himself nor any other member of the House of Lords whom he knew could be any party either to the use of such an ex pression, or to the adoption of such a principle as that motto might be supposed to illustrate. He believed, indeed, that every other member of the House of Lords was as deeply convinced as he was that the grand distinction between the peerage of this country and the nobility of every other country was that the British peerage had been, still was, and by God's blessing would continue to be, re cruited from every class, rank, and order of her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) In conclusion, tho noble earl declared that the esteem of his fellow citizens, of which he had just received another testimony, was the richest reward Which he, as a public man, could obtain.., The Earl of SHAFTESBURY then proposed "the health of the Prime Warden," which was drunk with honours ; and the PRIME WARDEN replied in an appropriate address. The PRIME WARDEN then proposed " The Health of Sir C. Bright." The toast having been drunk, Sir C. BRIGHT, briefly acknowledged the sem pliment, observing that much of the merit of fie great work to which the Prime Warden had re ferred was due to those with whom he had been associated. They must not be astonished at the partial failure of the first attempt to carry out the telegraphic communication between England and America, or suppose that there was any doubt of the ultimate success of the experiment. The com- pletion of the system of electric communication throughout the world was but a question of time. They should bear in mind that it was compara tively but yesterday that the first vessel propelled by steam crossed the seas. Railways were of still more modern growth. And what reason was there for supposing that the electric system of communi cation would not be as successful as either of those other two inventions, by which the world had been so largely . benefitted ? He had no doubt that before long we should be able to congratulate ourselves, not only upon the success of the Atlantic Telegraph project, but upon the universal application of the system, which promised so much for the welfare of mankind. (Cheers.) The intervals between the toasts were enlivened by a selection of vocal music, under the direction of Mr. W. Dorrell, in whi c h th e talents of Mrs. Clara Hepworth, Mr. W. H. Cummings, and the mem- bers of the Orpheus Glee Union were brought into requisition. ELECTION OF MAYORS. OXFORD, Tuesday, Nov. 9.—At a numerously attended council meeting, held this morning, Mr. Alderman Browning proposed, and Mr. Alderman Thorp seconded, Mr. Justice Castle, of the High street, as Mayor, in the place of Mr. Alderman Grubb, whose term of office had expired. Mr. Castle was elected without opposition. Mr. Coun cillor Stevens was elected to the office of sheriff. The usual vote of thanks to the out-going Mayor was opposed by Mr. Councillor Thompson for the following amongst other reasons :—That the late Mayor had shown a want of respect to the Sove reign, in allowing 14 days to elapse before calling the council together to congratulate her Majesty on the marriage of the Princess Royal ; and that when he had called the meeting upon receiving a memo rial from the council, he was ungracious enough to say that he did not deem the occasion of sufficient importance to call them together. Next, that h• refused to present the address which the council had agreed to, and that he had insulted her Ma jesty in the person of the judges of assize by re fusing to wait upon them with the aldermen to pay the customary mark of respect, and had ridiculed those who had done so; that he had shown groat disrespect to different members of the council in putting false statements reflecting on their charac ter in his paper, the Free Press, and when shown that they were incorrect had refused to set them right, or to admit he was in the wrong ; in not attending the last meeting of the finance committee when they were required to pass the bills for the year, which no one knew anything of, and the Mayor alone could give any information. His indifference to the wants and wishes of the town, in his refusal to allow Mr. Hooper's Theatrical Company to visit Oxford during the long vacation, in opposition to the wishes of the inhabitants, while ever since the town was inundated with circuses and menageries, which took out of the town 19s. out of every 205.; whereas a theatrical company would have spent in the town 19s. out of every 20s. Mr. Councillor Wise se conded Mr. Thompson in his opposition to the vote of thanks being passed. Mr. Councillor Pore ex pressed a hope that Mr. Thompson would withdraw the motion, inasmuch as it would place himself and many others in a most painful position. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn, and a vote of thanks was carried. LivEnrooL.—Mr. Alderman William Preston, wine and spirit merchant, a liberal in politics, and who has been for twenty years a member of the town council, was unanimously elected may or yes terday. Some opp os iti on was ma d e to the grantin g of the usual allowance of £2, 000 per annum, prin cipally on the ground th a t, as the corporation had lost by the withdrawal of the town dues a large portion of its revenue, and as there was a deficiency also in the corporate exchequer, the voting of the mayor's allowance might with great propriety be postponed until the financial estimates for the ensuing year were laid before the council. In reply to a question, the Town Clerk stated that if the council thought fit to grant a salary to the mayor it would become an obligatory expenditure which might be lawfully made out of the borough rate. BIRMINGIIAM.—Sir John Ratcliff was yesterday elected mayor for the third time, this befrwthe first occasion on which such a compliment has been paid to any gentleman who has filled the office of Mayor of Birmingham. Sir John Rateliff was proposed by Mr. Alderman Palmer, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Baldwin. Mr. Alderman Ryland was proposed by Mr. Alderman Lloyd and seconded by Mr. Alderman Holliday. The votes were—For Sir John Ratcliff, 34 ; for Mr. Ryland, 21. MANCIIESTER.—The retiring mayor, Mr. Alder man Mackie, was yesterday re-elected without • o pposition.
