State Banquet at the Mansion House. say it has been my anxious and constant endeavour that the interests of the army should not be allowed to suffer by that sudden and unexpected change in the administration which I was called on in the ---- Last evening a magnificent banquet was given by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress to the Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the other Ministers of State, w hen a distinguished com pany were invited to meet them. The guests began to arrive shortly after 6 o'clock, and were received by the Lord Mayor and pre sented to the Lady Mayoress in the Grand Corridor. Nearly all the company had arrived before the Earl of Derby was announced. The Premier was received with loud cheers. The entertainment took place in the Egyptian Hal!. Dinner was announced at 7 o'clock, when the Lord Mayor conducted the Countess of Derby to her seat on his loriship's right. The Earl of Derby led the Lady Mayoress to her seat on his right, and on the immediate left of the Lord Mayor. On the right of Lady Derby sat the Russian Ambassador and the Baronessßrunnow,! the Duke of Richmond, Miss Gabriel, the Duke of Montrose, his Excellency the Spanish Minister, his Excellency the Honduras Minister, Mrs. Disraeli, the Right Hon. the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Stanley. On the left of Lord Derby sat the Duchess of Marlborough, the Duke of Marlborough, Lady Anna Gore Lang ton, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, the Countess of Bradford, the Earl of Bradford, his Excellency the Greek Minister, Lady J. Manners, and Lord J. Manners. The tables presented a superb display of gold and silver plate, i n terspersed with flowers and fruit. Before the Lord Mayor was placed a gorgeous golden plateau, filled with flowers, representing the Arms of the City of London arranged with curious and elaborate art. Behind the principal guests stood a buffet of gigantic dimensions, on which was ranged a costly collection of corporation gold and silver gilt plate, consisting of antique candelabra, flagons, salvers, and goblets. Grace was said by the Rev. Mr. STOCK, Chaplain to the Lord Mayor. The service at the principal table was entirely of silver. The dinner, which was provided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, of Cornhill, embraced every luxury and delicacy of the season. After dinner, " For these and all Thy mercies given" was sung by Messrs. Fielding, W. Coates, E. Ball, and Mr. Chaplin Henry, under the direc tion of Mr. Edwin Hall. The Loving Cup was given with great eclat, when the names of the Earl of Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were specially cheered. The band of the Coldstream Guards, under th direction of Mr. F. Godfrey, performed during din e ner a choice selection of music. The LORD MAYOR, in rising to propose the first toast, said —My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, the first toast I have to propose needs no introduction in this or in any assembly of Englishmen. Her Majesty the Queen, daring a reign longer than that of any other living Sovereign in Europe, has by the genuineness of her character and by her devotion to the best interests of her people secured for herself the lasting sympathy and personal esteem of all classes of the community, and that loyalty of feel ing which is now happily the characteristic of the English people, which will be found the surest bar rier against any assaults of democracy. Her Ma jesty has had many happy days ; may many more be granted to her ! Long may she live to enjoy that respect and esteem she so well merits, and to reign over a prosperous and happy people ! I give you the "Health of Her Majesty the Queen." The toast was drunk with all the honours, and followed by the National Anthem. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said :—Loyalty and attachment to the Throne are now happily a characteristic of this country and extend to every member of Her Majesty's illustri ous family. The Prince of Wales, by his courteous demeanour and urbanity of manner, is winning for himself the respect of all classes of the people, and leads us undoubtedly to believe that when he shall be called on to occupy that place so ably filled by ~ Its roots run under every sea, his Royal parent, he will be prepared to do so with it blooms on every shore ;' credit to himself and honour to the country.

That danger was so imminent that statesmen of the symrathy a n d the good feeling of you r lord- ship and the corporation and the citizens of London. quailed before the coming danger, and believed that As you have done me the honour to associate my no effort, however well intended — no exertions of name with this toast, perhaps I shall be allowed to . whatever description_ Would woia... succeed in averting course of this Session to undertake. The discipline of the army, I sincerely believe, was never in more able or better hands than in those of the present illustrious Commander-in-Chief. (Cheers.) The bravery of the British army has never failed, and requires no encomium from me; but the stronger, therefore, is their right to expect that the civil de partments of the military service of England shall be administered with a constant and anxious care to promote their efficiency and improve their charac ter. It is to this branch of the service, so long as I have the honour to hold my present office, that my anxious care shall be directed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CORPS, responding to the toast of the Navy, said the cordial respect which was uniformly paid in the city of London to that toast whenever it was drunk ought to be peculiarly gratifying, as he had no doubt it was, to the whole of the service, and the estimation in which the navy was held in that the commercial metropolis of the world might be accepted as a proof that their services had been faithfully and zealously performed. He bore' em phatic testimony to the judgment, ability, and determination with which the officers of the navy in general discharged their duties, and he expressed his great gratification at the cordiality with which the toast had been received. Alderman Sir W. ROSE, in his capacity of major in the First City of London Rifles, replied on be- half of the Volunteers. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—One of the most valued pri vileges of the Lord Mayor of London is once, at least, during his term of office, to entertain her Majesty's Ministers. (Cheers.) By none of my predecessors has this privilege been more highly prized than by myself. By none of them has the toast proposing their health been given with greater cordiality than by me on the present occasion. (Cheers.) In the first place let me, with heartfelt sin cerity, congratulate the nation, this assembly, and the noble Premier personally on his restoration to health and vigour—(cheers)—and on his being able again to occupy his wonted position in that august body of which he is at once the leader and the most distinguished ornament. (Cheers.) And 1 must be allowed to offer to his lordship, on my own behalf, on behalf of the Sheriffs, and the great Corporation of which I am so fortunate as to be the head, our most sincere and grateful acknow ledgments for the honours conferred upon us— (cheers)—on his recommendation, by our gracious Sovereign, in commemoration of the visits to this city of two illustrious potentates—(cheers) —honours greatly enhanced in value by the prompt recogni tion of the occasion, and by the spontaneous and cordial manner in which they have been bestowed. (Cheers.) Whatever may be our several opinions as to the merits of that important measure which has absorbed so much of the time and occupied so much of the attention of Parliament during the session now drawing to a close, none will fail to admire the courage and patriotism of those statesmen—(cheers)—who, casting aside all considerations of personal ease and comfort, devote those mental powers and mental gifts with which they have been so richly endowed to the service of their country, and who, rising superior to party prejudices—(cheers)—have set themselves the Herculean task of settling, and I trust they will sa tisfactorily settle, that question whichfhas for many years excited.intense interest and obstructed the progress of legislation on other matters useful and necessary to the well-being of the community. (Cheers.) The chief magistrate of this city has fre quently occasion to refer with pride to the city ma gistrates of past ages—those merchant adventurers who, while amassing large fortunes and founding noble houses, were establishing the renown and add ing to the greatness of their countrymen, who, like Gresham, were at once rulers of the city and states men enjoying the confidence of their Sovereign, and creating that commerce of which it may now be said— and with which it is the interest of both the one and the other that we should maintain the most un limited amount of friendship. (Cheers.) But we have had a still more extraordinary visitor. We have had a visit unprecedented in the course of history, for from the first the Sultan of Turkey has had such exclusive prejudices, which bound him and his countrymen in an iron grasp, as compead them to forbear mixing with the people of the West, and becoming acquainted with the habits, manners, and customs of more civilised nations. For the first time the present Sultan has had the courage—and it requires no small amount of courage —(cheers)—to break through all the prejudices of religion and of fanaticism. (Cheers.) He has had the courage to come over to the West and see with his own eyes and hear with his own ears—to observe for himself —and he is a Prince of no little observation, char acter, and activity—(cheers)—to see in what re spects this country and other nations in Europe are advanced in civilisation over that which he rules; and I have the happiness of knowing he has re turned to his own emp ire dee p l y i mpressed not only w ith the power but wi th the ha pp i ness of this coun try—(cheers)—deeplyhiohfiow impressed with b en eficial results from our free institutio n s, an d, a bove all, impressed , a s I kno w h im to have been , w' with the spectacle he has seen here of the perfect union and harmony among all the various classes differing in religion and every other particular un der the influence of a beneficent and liberal Go vernment. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, I feel as confident as I can be of anything that the lesson will not be lost on his Imperial Majesty; and 1 look for ward with the greatest confidence not only to his acceleration of those improvements in the internal administration of his own country, which he per sonally has long been anxious to promote, but to the increased activity and vigilance in carrying out the benevolent and friendly views I know he enter tains towards his subjects of all denominations, which have hitherto been thwarted by subordinates but I hope his Imperial Majesty will now see the necessity of exercising a personal vigilance and su perintendence, and that the lessons of English civi lisation, harmony, and union among all classes will not be lost, but will exercise a powerful influence in a country intimately connected with us by various ties. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, in all the various occurrences to which I have adverted—in the visit to the Great Exhibition in Paris, in which your lordship nobly represented the honour of this coun try ; in the reception, the magnificent reception, you gave here on the part of the city to the Belgian Volunteers—in the hospitality you extended to the Viceroy of Egypt, and in your reception, also un paralleled on the part of any of your predecessors, of the Sultan—the first Sultan who ever visited the Western shores—it has been your lordship's good fortune to take no inconsiderable part. (Cheers.) Your lordship has referred to the gratifying task which was imposed on me by her Majesty of recognising in your lordship's person her Majesty's sense of the manner in which you discharged the arduous duties that devolved on you in your present office--(cheers)—and I will say that I never discharged a duty which was more gratifying to my own feelings than when I was authorised by her Majesty's command to announce to your lordship her sense of the manner in which you have discharged your duty by the honours you have received. Cloud cheers.) lam happy also that it does so happen that the secondary honours which her Majesty was pleased to confer on those who have been associated with you in the govern ment of this city have fallen to no unworthy hands. (Cheers.) The name of Waterloo itself is hardly more known than the name of Alderman Waterlow. (A. laugh.) If to the success of the former we trace so many benefits conferred on the world at large, so I believe to the latter, although on a proportionally limited scale, may be referred some of the most philanthropic practical efforts which have ever been made to improve the dwellings and condition of the labouring classes. (Cheers.) Although the name of Lycett may notbe so generally known, yet as an in habitant of the county of Lancaster, I cannot but recollect with deep gratitude that he was a distin guished member of that Mansion-house Committee which showed such munificent liberality in reliev ing the distresses and administering to the wants of the distressed in the manufacturing districts. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, in my own name and in the name of my colleagues, I beg again to return you our grateful thanks for the honour you have done us—to assure you that whether our tenure of power be longer or shorter, our most anxious desire will be, by the course we may adopt, at all events to merit the goodwill and confidence of our country men, and more especially of this great city. (Cheers.) Before sitting down I trust I may be permitted to propose the health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas Gabriel, Bart. (Loud and continued cheering.) The toast was drunk with loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR, having briefly responded, proceeded to say—The next toast I have to give is " The House of Commons"—(cheers)—that House which has done such good national service, and will figure so nobly in the page of history—that House, the present constitution of which is so well understood, but the future position and constitution of which form the engrossing problem of the day. (Cheers.) The House of Commons, constituted as at present, has been before us for 35 years; and although it will soon have passed away, we shall be able with pride to refer to it as the finest legislative body in the world--(cheers)—the most representative body, embracing the first talents in the country—a body in which the voice and opinion of the people have always been heard and attended to, and through which the people of England have attainel more fully to the position of governing themselves than has been the good fortune of any other nation. (Cheers.) No one can compare the present state of this country with its condition 30 years ago without being astonished at the pro gress which has been made in civil and religious liberty, in the social and moral improvement of the people, and the enormous increase of the national wealth and prosperity. (Cheers.) We cannot suppose that any particular class has failed to par ticipate in this general advancement, but must recognise as its consequence a decided improvement in intelligence in all classes, and an increasing de sire to be represented in the Government of the country. (Cheers.) By the patriotic conduct of the present House of Commons this national ad vance and universal irnprovemeut has been brought about, and we must regret that, in order to give scope for that increasing desire on the part of the people to participate more directly in political power, it should be house to necessary for that immolate itself—(cheers and a laugh)—and give place to one differently elected. (Cheers.) Ad mitting the necessity of the case, the difficulty has been to find a high priest to perform the sacrifice — (loud cheers and laughter)—one gifted with talents of the highest order (cheers) ; with discernment capable of rightly estimating the vast difficulties he has to contend with, and the determination tp over come them (cheers) ; with shrewdness and tact, with vigour and grasp of mind, to draw together the discordant elements which must be worked upon and combined on such an occasion. (Cheers.) A statesman willing to dedicate all these rare quali ties to the service of his country—regardless of the loss of political associations, and possibly even of private friendships—looking for his reward only in the conviction of having saved his country, and the reliance that posterity will class him among her patriots—(cheers)—such an one has been found in the right lion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Cheers.) \ I -la ,, nificcritly has he performed his task —richly may he be rewarded. (Loud cheers.) 1 beg to give you " The House of COIIIIIIOIIS, coupled with the name of the Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer." The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on rising was most cordially received. lie said-31y Lord Mayor, I thank you very much on the part of the House of Commons for the honour you have done them in remembering them to-day. Our relations —those, at least, between the House of Commons and the City of London—are so ancient and so numerous that i uced not remind you that this i, not the first occasion on which you have drunk their health in meetings like the present, And yoti may that great calamity. Happily, my Lord Mayor, not by interfering uncalled for in the affairs of other countries, but by tendering when asked for judici ous and wise and disinterested advice, it has been the good fortune of her Majesty's present Ministers to contribute, with the assistance of other neutral Powers of the Continent, to ward off that great mis fortune, and to preserve to Europe and to the world the blessing of peace. (Loud cheers.) You may rely upon it that so long as her Majesty's present ad visers have the power of holding their places there is no object to which their exertions will be more strenuously, more perseveringly, more unceasingly, more disinteresteyly devoted than to the mainten ance of peace—(cheers)—and of friendly relations with all the powers of Europe. (Cheers.) We are not a country which has anything to gain from extension of dominion or frorn increase of territory. Our interests are the interests of the world at large. They are the interests of friendly rela tions throughout the world. They are those of peaceful commerce and of amicable relations ; and these are the relations to the maintenance of which, so long, at all events, as I have the honour to hold office in her Majesty's Councils, my attention will most strenuously be directed. My Lord Mayor, I have had occasion to mention that the barometer pointed at the beginning of the Session to " Storm." I will not say that at present there are no clouds in the political horizon, but I think I may venture to say that if we have not arrived at " Set Fair," at all events, the barometer points more to "Fair" than to " Change." (Cheers.) Returning from foreign to domestic affairs, I have already stated the anxiety, the fear, I may almost venture to say, with which we approached the arduous task, presented to us, and as your lordship has done me the honour to allude to me in connec tion with it, I may be permitted to say that nothing but an imperative sense of duty, nothing but an overwhelming sense of the responsibility I felt to my Sovereign and country— (cheers) —would have induced me at my age and in my position to have again accepted the office of First Minister. (Cheers.) But I felt that there was a necessity laid on me. I felt there was a great work to be done, and I felt that, however unworthy I might be to be the instrument of doing that work, there was no other person who possessed the means of carrying to its successful issue that great work which I saw to be necessary for the well-being of the community. (Loud cheers.) My Lord Mayor, this is not a time to discuss the merits of particular measures, and yet, as your lordship . has all to that great question which has occupied during the whole Session of Parliament the greatest portion of the attention of the House of Commons and latterly of the Hous e of Lords, I may be permitted to si n s a s w t i h t a h t, g e r n e t a en t r a g n x o ie n t y it asw i t t o h t g h r e ea p t oss a i p h p i iriethye ofn - bringing it to a successful result, we have been en couraged by the manner in which Parliament re ceived our overtures, by the manner in which those who did not altogether agree with us in political opinion generally, cordially joined with us in endea vouring to come to an arrangement, which bringing adverse parties to unite in one course of action, should once for all settle a question which while unsettled tended to prevent any wholesome and useful legislation in other respects, which it was of the utmost importance to the country should be settled. (Hear, hear.) My Lord Mayor, we have made sacrifices, we have incurred taunts, we have incurred obloquy, but I must honestly say that none of these things move me—(cheers) —so long as 1 feel in my own conscience that I have in the slightest degree contributed to effect a. great object on which the heart of this nation was set. (Cheers.) I will not, my Lord Mayor, enter into the details of that great question. I will only express a hope, which I am sure will be shared by all those who are present, and all who wish well to the institutions of the country, whatever their opinions, as to the hazard of the step we have taken, whatever may be their anticipations, whatever their apprehensions, I am sure in the mind of every loyal Englishman there is this predominant feeling—that the liberal franchise we have extended to the people of this country may find that people worthy of its exercise —(cheers)—and that as we have extended the rights and liberties of the people we may have extended also the security and strength of the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, you must not suppose that this session, much as its atten tion has been given to the great measure of the representation of the people in Parliament, has been wholly barren of fruits of a different character. We have not allowed our attention to be exclusively de voted to that subject, however engrossing and im portant has t e nh beena s t s i been.nanxiously W e have ld fo oo consolidatingks u e c c o e u e rr.l various l a y ru o i i n so an e se objecte Norths American ss iv whoiveehrn mi. provinces, and we have by that e G means given, I believe, additional strength to those pro vinces--we have given them additional security, and promoted their loyalty and attachment to the [ British throne ; and in extending to them the full privilege of citizens, the enjoyment of the rights of a united people, who have in the greatest possible degree consolidated their power, and knit them to us by the most enduring tie of mutual interest and affection. (Cheers.) We have not neglected the duties which we owe, more especially to the poorer class of our fellow-subjects, and it is a great satis faction to me that even in the course of this session we have been able to introduce and carry through measures which will tend greatly to improve the condition of those who most require our support and assistance—namely, the poor population of the City of London. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, I trust that the question, the great and overwhelming ques tion of Parliamentary Reform, being put aside, and having been the means of terminating for a very considerable period of time any agitation for future changes, Parliament will feel itself at liberty to de vote its attention—l answer for it that the Govern ment will devote its most sedulous - attention—to the introduction of various social, moral, and industrial reforms, from which its attention has been diverted by other subjects of a more interesting and exciting character. (Cheers.) Apart from the political course in which the Government have been engaged this has not been an uneventful year. In the first place it has witnessed that great gathering of all the Sovereigns, and I may almost say all the nations, of the earth at the great International Exhibition of Paris, and whatever may be said, and whatever may have been the fallacy on former occasions of the promise of general peace following on these exhibi tions, I cannot but believe that exhibitions of this description are calculated to create mutual friendly feeling and respect--to prevent the spirit of rivalry between different countries degenerating into hosti lity, by tending to stimulate the exertions of all to wholesome competition as the best guarantee of future excellence. (Cheers.) The past year has also been remarkable for the return visit of a some what numerous band of Belgian Volunteers. (Cheers.) A powerful army practically invaded this country and was received with open arms by those whom they invaded. (Cheers and a laugh.) We did honour by that reception to a nation free and independent like ourselves, who enjoy the benefits and blessings of free government, and whose population, like ours, are all banded together for the purpose of defence, not defiance—(cheers) —having come forward in friendly rivalry to show each what they could do in defending the homes and firesides cf their country, should any enemy be daring enough to make the attack. (Cheers.) We have further had the satisfaction to receive two most illustrious potentatc.l—the one, though not a Sove reign, a country wish e le st hig tt h e i s of _ quasi way between Europe and Asia—a country . which h e e s it'e t IL the we (t: are c le' o ec t it t le Ey it y‘r:'the closest was the mother and nurse of the earliest civilisation —a country blessed with almost unparalleled ferti lity, and only wanting the blessing of good govern ment to raise it to the highest position among the nations of the world. (Cheers.) lVe have had the ruler of that country—an intelligent and far-seeing prince, who is well disposed to consider and make the most of the natural advantages which belong to his favoured country, and I think that it is of no slight importance that he should himself in person have become acquainted with the character, the institutions, and habits of ,this country, connected, as it is, with his own by so many ties—(cheers)— remember that this is by no means the first time I have bad the high distinction of representing their gratitude, as Ido now. I can say freely of this distinction that it is not a mere ceremony. (Cheers.) I know it is cordially offered, and I am sure it is cordially received, and if even ten times repeated it still will please. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, you have referred to circumstances which will, I hope, soon operate a change in the constitution of the House of Commons ; but it is a very remarkable and, I think, a consoling circumstance that the changes which I trust are impending, though their destiny is not yet concluded, are not occasioned from any want of confidence in the people of this country in the House of Commons. Tlu desire for those changes has originated not from any belief that the House of Commons does not represent fully the ' people of this country, but from a desire in the country to share the proud privileges which they possess, and on the part of a great portion of the population of this country in this age of progress to make those who are in the possession of power aware that there are others who are desirous of sharing it, because they believe they are worthy of participating in its exercise. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, as you have alluded to this subject, we are able now, in the month of August, to take a more general view of what has occurred with reference to this great question than some months ago any of us were able to do. We may congratulate the coun- try that not only in Parliament but in the commu• nity generally there has been a great spirit o candour and calmness in considering this question, not, I believe, paralleled on any other occasion under similar circumstances. No doubt there has been during the struggle that has occurred some acerbity of opposition. Some sharp things have been said, and some sharp things have been done (a laugh) ; but I think the general conclusion arrived at is that the change which has been brought about has been brought about because it was approved by the calm conviction of the coun try. (Cheers.) Nor ought we to be surprised, my Lord Mayor, that some expressions of disappro bation have been used. I think we must all know that when you attempt to disturb a monopoly you can hardly expect to accomplish your object with out creating some noise and some tumult. I have seen in my time several monopolies terminated, and recently I have seen the termination of the mono poly of Liberalism. (Cheers and a laugh.) Nor are we to be surprised that when certain persons believed that they had an hereditary right, when ever it was necessary to renovate the institutions of their country, they should be somewhat displeased that any other persons should presume to interfere with those changes which I hope in the spirit of true patriotism they believed the requirements of the State rendered necessary. But lam sure that when the hubbub has subsided—when the shrieks and screams which were heard some time ago, and which have already subsided into sobs and sighs, shall be entirely a ppeased —nothing more terrible will be discovered to have occurred than that the Tory party has resumed its natural functions in the government of the country. (Cheers.) For, my Lord Mayor, what is the Tory party unless it re presents national feeling? (Renewed cheers.) If it do not represent national feeling, Toryism is nothing. It does not depend upon hereditary co teries of exclusive nobles ; it does not attempt power by attracting to itself the spurious force which may accidentally arise from advocating cos mopolitan principles or talking cosmopolitan jar gon. (A laugh.) The Tory party is nothing un less it represent and uphold the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) For what are the institutions of the country ? They are entirely in theory, and ought to be entirely, as I am glad to see they are likely tobe, in practice, the embodiment of the na tional necessities and the only security for popular privileges. (Cheers.) Well, then, I cannot help believing that because my Lord Derby and his col leagues have taken a happy opportunity to enlarge the privileges of the people of England we have not done anything but strengthen the institutions of this country, the essence of whose force is that they re present the interests and guard the rights of the people. (Cheers.) Therefore, my Lord Mayor, I hope that on the part of the House of Commons, when if it be my lot, as I trust it may, to return thanks in this hall on the part of that institution-- not reformed, but renovatedby the legislation which I trust is on the eve of passing—l hope that when it devolves upon me to attempt to perform that high duty your lordship will then agree with us in the con viction which now animates us, that the measure which we have brought forward, and which I believe by general concurrence of the country, as with the general concurrence of Parliament, will be passed, has been such as has added strength to the State and spirit to the community. My Lord Mayor, on the part of the House of Commons—not a condemned House of Commons, but a House of Commons that has frankly and generously offered to the people of this country a share in the privileges of which they are proud, and of which they have availed them selves for the general benefit—l thank you for the honour you have conferred upon them. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gave in succession " The City Magistrates," associating with the toast the names of Alderman Sidney, and the " Sheriffs of London and Middlesex," a compliment which was acknowledged by Sir Sydney Waterlow. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH, in graceful terms, then proposed the " Health of the Lady Mayoress," which was drunk with every mark of respect ; afterwards the company retired from the banqueting hall to the saloon and the state drawing-rooms, where tea and coffee were served, aad then took heir departure about 11 o'clock. New Law Courts. If the report which has just been spread should prove true, with respect to the decision of the judges upon the law courts, come to without any reference whatever to competent professional advise upon the question of art, our very worst fears will have been realised. We were prepared to some extent for the shelving of the highest art, but that work of this importance should have been given into the hands of an architect, perhaps the least competent to grasp a large subject—the one of all others trammelled by all the least amiable qualities of medievalism we did not expect. We do not hesitate to say that of all the possible successful candidates the one said to be chosen is absolutely the very worst for the purposes required. Allowing to him indomitable energy and perseverance—a good deal of originality—we cannot shut our eyes to the almost entire want of Ane art displayed in his works ; carving of the mast vulgar and crude description ; rough rubble walls for the interior of buildings in close connection with the richest materials, like a swine with a jewel of fine gold and precious stones in his snout ; sculpture applied, as in the present instance, in the most ridiculous fashion. So little, in the case of the Law Courts, did this architect seem capable of realising his design as a wlaolei:that there is evidence of the most piecemeal construction—each storey being de signed without the slightest reference to what was above or below it—queer little two-light windows squeezed in one atop of the other wherever they could go, much of the work being not a whit better than the ordinary villa Gothic style we see around .London. If the present Government are unable to save us from such a bathos, if they allow themselves to he dictated to in this, the greatest of modern undertak ings of the kind, by Mr. Gladstone, with his High Church tendencies, we think they will be much to blame. It is a most unusual thing and quite contrary to precedent, in choosing judges in such a matter, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone, the Lord Chancellor, &c., with their names attached, should have been appointed irre spective of any possible change in the Ministry. When the Foreign Office competition was settled, Lord Palmerston, coming in, upset all the plans, and forced Mr. Scott to build them according to his taste and fancy. We cannot help think ing that if the present Ministry allow so im portant a business as this to be settled without any reference to them, and, in fact, without seeing that simple justice is done by the appointment of professional advisers upon the question of architec ture who will command the respect of the art world and of the people of England, they cannot fail to incur the greatest discredit. There is only one Con servative among the judges, and there is scarcely one among them who professes any special know ledge of art. It is imperative upon the Ministers to insist upon a voice in the matter, and not to submit to the dictation of the late Govern ment. It may be said that this competition differs from others, inasmuch as the funds will not have to be provided by Parliament ; but this is only partially true. If the buildings are to be carried out as projected, if the present or even an enlarged site is to be covered, a portion—probably no small one—of the funds required will have to be granted by the house. In any case, Parliament will have to sanction the expenditure of the Suitors' Fund. This being the case it is monstrous that the Govern ment and party now in power should have no voice in so important an undertaking. If they will exert their influence, it cannot be doubted that they will prevent such a calamity as is threatened, such a dead-lock or fool's mate as this. We can not imagine any possibility of the two gen tlemen said to be chosen working together at all. Why, they are the very opposite of each other. The one a practical, modern thinker, butlittle imbued with any particular affection for the style in which the courts are to be built ; who, in fact, has been far more successful in other styles : the other, apparently ignorant of all art, except that connected with the middle ages, and whose tastes and sympa thie3 appear to run only with the most scthetie and severe examples of those ages. Why, we should like to know, do the judges propose choosing two architects when their business was to choose one— the one who had shown himself the best fitted to it has carry out the work —except, perhaps , hap pened from sheer lazi ness and indecision, from ina bility possibly to appreciate the great excellence of the art of Mr. Burges' design, which had not the advantage of being illustrated by pretty picturesque sketches, for which Mr. Street is so famous, and from want of courage to decide the evenly-balanced claims of Mr. Scott and Mr. Waterhouse ?-211orn jag Herald. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, August 3, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,693 ; the deaths registered, 2,804. The annual rate of mor tality was 21 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,139 boys and 1,125 girls, in all 2,261 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,911. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,291. It was the 31st week of the year, anu the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,417. The deaths in the present return are less by 156 than the estimated number. Although the deaths registered are less by 56 than the number in the preceding week, and consi derably below the estimated amount, the mortality from diarrhcel has slightly increased. Two hun dred and nine children and eight adults died from diarrhoea last week ; in the week which ended July 27 the number was 196. Thirty-eight cases oc curred last week in the west, 48 in the north, 33 in the central, 53 in the cast, and 45 in the south dis tricts. Five deaths from diarrhoea occurred in the sub-district St. Mary, Paddington, 7 in St. John, Westminster; 7 in Christchurch, Marylebone (out of a total of 9 deaths) ; 5 in Regent's-park, Pancras, 6 in Somers-town, Pancras ; 5 in Islington West, 9 in Islington E tst, 5 in St. Giles South, 6 in City road, St. Lake ; 5 in Green, Bethnal-green ; 5 in Whitechapel, North ; 5 in Poplar, 5 in St. James, Bermondsey ; and 142 in other sub-districts, The deaths of 17 children and two adults from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea were recorded. In the cor- responding week of last year (1866) the deaths from diarrhoea were 354, and from cholera 1,053. 21 deaths from smallpox, 16 from measles, 22 from scarlatina, 22 from whooping-cough, and 35 from typhus occurred last week.

The deaths of three persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.882 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 29.97 in. on Sunday, July 28, to 29.82 in. on Thursday, Aug. 1. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 55 deg., which is 7.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The highest day temperature was 70.2 deg. on Wednesday, July 31. The lowest night temperature was 40.9 deg., on Saturday, Aug. 3. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 29.3 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 62.1 deg. ; that of the lowest was 60.3 deg. The difference between the mean-dew point tem perature and air temperature was 6.9 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 78, complete saturation being represented by 100. The direction of the wind was variable. No rain fell during the week. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the Southern Out fall Works, Crossness, was 48,819,243 gallons, or 221,808 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. the accommodation of its future inmates were com- pleted, and the shipsailed to her moorings at Green hithe with about 50 of the waifs and strays of the London streets. On Tuesday morning the ma- nagement of the system of refuges, of which the Chichester is one of the most important branches, gave an opportunity to those who desired to be made acquainted with the progress of the training school of inspecting the details of its wo►king. Unfortu nately, the weather was so unf tvourable that com paratively few were able to avail themselves of the invitation offered, but those who braved the incle mency of the day were well repaid for their visit. But six months have elapsed since the Chichester was opened, and it now trains 121 homeless boys for the navy and the merchant service. It is to be regretted, however, that all the resources of the in stitution—for such it has now become—are not capable of being utilised, for though it could accom modate 80 more, the necessary funds are wanting for extending to the utmost the beneficial influences of the charity. On Tuesday the steamer Petrel con veyed the invited party to Greenhithe, and on arriv ing on board the Chichester they proceeded to in spect the arrangements of the ship, which are so complete and so admirable that the most exacting could not find fault with the smallest particular. Lunch having been served on deck and duly dis posed of, it was expected that the boys would per form some manoeuvres aloft, but the torrents of rain which came down at the time prevented the visitors from witnessing what would have been doubtless a very interesting exhibition. Lord Shaftesbury addressed those assembled, and dwelt on the great advantages which such an institu tion as that in which he had the honour to address them extended to the children of the destitute poor. Mr. W. Williams, who may be truly called an inde fatigable secretary, also made a brief speech, and, among other things, brought under the notice of the visitors the case of a boy who had most gal lantly leaped into the water to rescue another who had fallen overboard when the tide was running with full force. The boys then sung some part songs with great sweetness and accuracy in time• When the visitors were about to depart the young tars " manned" the rigging and gave three hearty cheers, amid which the steamer which carried the visitors to Greenhithe steamed away for town. It is to be hoped that the results of Tuesday's inspec tion will be a large addition to the funds of the Society for providing Refuges for Homeless and Destitute Children. The total number of those who have been rescued from the precarious life of what are known as " Street Arabs" since the institution of the society, 25 years ago, has been nearly 2,000. If the public were fully aware of the advantage such institutions as the Chichester training ship confer on society at large they would establish other schools, having a similar purpose, at every point around the coast, for by such a course they would gradually reduce the number of recruits to the ranks of the criminal class. The boys on board the Chi chester bear evidence on their faces of the care be stowed upon them in every particular, and their appearance in their pretty naval costume on Ttles" day was as interesting as it was picturesque. Capt. Alston, R.N., is in command of the ship, and judg ing from what has been done under his superinten dence, we believe no better officer could have been chosen. 'THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8 1867. COUNTRY MARKETS. SALISBURY.—T UESDAY. At market this morning the attendance o f farmers, rail' lers, and dealers was unusually short.
