At a dinner given by the Lord Mayor of York on Thursday, The Earl of Carlisle responded to the toast of " The House of Lords." He said : Your lordship has been pleased to couple my name with the House of Lords, and I am glad to say that, whatever may be said here and there of that august body, their fellow-citizens so far as I may judge from yourselves, do not appeal:dis posed at least to exclude them from the equal feast. (Applause.) Your lordship has 'adverted to reflections that have been made on members of the aristocracy not having hitherto found themselves called upon to step forward in defence of their rights and their position. The fact is, my lord, I do not think that they are under any apprehension that their death-knell has yet rung. (Cheers.) When any real alarm shall arise I venture to anticipate that they will at all events, en deavour to make a good fight of it for themselves. (Applause.) For their past services they are content to refer to the history of their country, and as long as the constitution remains, which must perish with' them, inasmuch as they form an integral portion of it, I feel every confidence that they will apply, themselves with zeal and public spirit to the duties both of progress and conservation, for both alike devolve on them, as they devolve upon all men. (Hear, hear.) And when they cease to do this, I shall no longer wish for their con tinuance. (Cheers.) Mr. Westhead, M.P., said : Did they not see in the noble Earl (Carlisle) on his left an example of one who, born in the high places of the earth, had filled up as well his allotted space as if he had traced the channel of his life in some lower and inferior current ? (Applause.) He knew not how or in what way one so born and so educated could have more worthily filled the objects of his destiny than had the noble lord. (Applause.) The honourable member then spoke of Lord Chief Justice Campbell, the son of a Scotch minister at Cupar, as being worthy to take his place with the. highest of the land. He next referred to the great name obtained by [ Lord Clyde in India, he being a man of obscure origin, and then io Lord Canning, remarking that he need go no . . further to show that at least in the British peerage, whether they looked to the distant part or to the important present, there were men found there worthy to represent the interest, and to care for the for tunes of his country. (Applause.) He did not sympathise for a moment with those who would set class against class. If they looked through the length and breadth of the world, where was it that Englishmen had not been, and where had they not distinguished them selves ? There was Havelock, Outram, and Wilson, all commoners, who came out gloriously in the hour of trial. And there was a man raised from the operative class, ti:a versing, with noble and glorious purpose, the interior of the vast continent of Africa—Dr Livingstone; and if he took them into the regions of science or mechanical or practical art, how many such men would they meet with —Watts, Arkwright, and Stephenson, and men of that stamp ? Go where he would, and look where he might, he found the various classes of his countrymen much to admire and comparatively little to condemn. (Applause.) They knew well that none set a more correct estimate upon the value of aristocratic position than the noble earl near him, and they know that whatever distinction might be conferred on man, he will agree with the sentiment of a writer who declares that aristocracy of character is the true heraldry of man. (Applause.) He (Mr. Westhead) trusted that whatever changes might betide, or whatever might be the events of the coming session of Parliament, the result would be not to impair, not to destroy the British constitution, but to widen its foundations, to strengthen it in all its parts. DINNER TO SIR JAMES ANDERSON,. M.P, A dinner was given to Sir James Anderson, M.P. for the Stirling Burghs, at Stirling, on Thursday evening, the Provost of the city in the chair. On the health of the guest being pro posed, Sir James Anderson, after a few introductory remarks, said : In taking a retrospect of public affairs in this country for a few years past, we see that many important events have occurred. and while there has been much in some of them to mourn over, there have been others of a cheering and inspiriting kind. We have to deplore the dreadful wars in which we have been engaged, in which so many precious lives have been lost, and so much treasure ex pended. We have witnessed our country pass through a commercial crisis unexampled for its severity, but we have also seen our arms triumphant, and our influence for good extended over regions of the earth hitherto unkown. Our commercial prosperity is gradually but surely . returning, and I think we can contemplate our present position with pride and satisfaction. I believe the conviction grows in the community that we- enjoy more true liberty in this country than we could do in any other part of the world ; and while we seek for further changes, and strive to bring about further improvements, we should carefully guard the blessings already procured. When we look at the agitated state of continental nations at the present time, and contrast it with our own, we must surely congratulate ourselves on our superior position. So long as we are surrounded by despotic coun tries, it is true we are forced to waste much money on fleets and armies ; but that is small compared with that which they suffer under. During the time I have been your member I have had the happiness to see many measures carried through Parliament, and been privileged to give my aid in support of them, which are acknow ledged on all hands to be productive of great benefit to the country. The most important of these is that of free trade, which I should be sorry to see tampered with in any way ; and yet I connot view without some alarm the agitation lately got up by a portion of the shipping interest, complaining of the want of 'prosperity with foreign nations, and urging us to enter with them into a battle of tariffs. I look upon the proposal of these gen tlemen as neither more nor less than an abandonment on our part of the principles of free trade, and I sincerely hope the country and the Government will give it no countenance. We are on the eve of a new session of Parliament, whose proceedings cannot fail to be watched with much interest. It is an awkward state of things to have a Conservative Government, and, at the same time, a Liberal House of Commons. It remains to be seen how it will work, but I confess I have no . great faith in it. The country may mean while derive some benefit by two parties bidding for power; but it is an unnatural state of things, and cannot last. I regret the sudden defeat of the last Government, but I do not see how it could have been avoided. Lord Palmerston, to whom I believe the country is largely indebted, and who is an able and energetic statesman, was at the head of a large and powerful party, and had he managed rightly he might have been there still ; but he seemed to forget himself, and on more than one occasion did violence to the feelings of the country by his appointments. Th e bill w hi c h c a use d his downfall I considered as a great error, brought forward at the time it was, and calculated to degrade us in the eyes of the nations. Had it - been successful, there is no saying to what further demands we might have been subjected by the despots of the Conti nent. The great question of the session is expected to be Parliamentary Reform, than which there can be none of greater importance, or requiring more careful or calm deliberation ; for the discussions which have taken place throughout the country have, it is gratifying to observe. a tone of moderation, and a disposition not to urge extreme views on either side, which make one think it a suitable time to obtain a settlement of this great question. I have always been in favour of Parliamentary Reform, deeming the peace and welfare of the country largely bound up with it ; and, seeing the good re sults of the former bill, I believe that the time is am opposed to universal suffrage so - long as we have so many ignorant and degraded men amongst . us, I would lower the franchise. and adopt every practicable means for having placed on the electoral roll every intelligent and well-doing man in the country. I care not which plan be adopted, so that this end be attained, and also that he should be protected by the ballot in the exercise of his privilege ; and then as to the present distribution of seats in Parliament, I hope few will stand up for a system so arbitrary and unjust, but that we shall fix upon a plan more consonant with reason and fair dealing. Mr. Bright's mode appears to be very like the thing, although I have not examined it very particularly, yet one thing in it I highly approve of, that this good town of Stirling should in future have to itself the benefit of whole representative. WHAT THE BRITISH PEASANT HAS ,TO BE THANKFUL FOR.—A Wiltshire clergyman writes :—" The extent of the parish in which I live is nearly 5,000 acres, without a single butcher in any of the villages; and half-a-dozen other parishes in the neighbourhood are similarly situated, for the simple reason that the labourers in those parishes are unable either to feed pigs or to patronise the' butcher, in consequence of the low rate of wages they receive from the farmers. I reside in a parish (which ought not to be the poorest in the county, inasmuch as it is justly celebrated for the finest cattle-breeders in England, as well as for skilful and wealthy agriculturists) where the regular labourers are receiving only 7s a-week. When the father of a family has to maintain a wife and three or four children, all unable to work, paying is weekly for house-rent, and is 4d for a cwt. of coal, he ha 4 no spare money to buy either bacon, mutton, or beef; and as the wages are the same in the parishes referred to, the butcher is seldom seen, unless "at the parsonage or the pure's." ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-BANQUET TO PROFESSOR THOMSON. On Thursday evening a public dinner was given 1 . 11 ,. t a d Queen's Rooms, Glasgow, in honour of the At . n Telegraph Electrician, Professor Williant Thomson, . 31 .: LL.D. Covers were laid for about 150 gentlem e .l ameng whom were most of the scientific and cowme n , men of the city. The chair was occupied by the $l, the Lord Provost, and Walter Buchanan, Esq., 31 ' acted as croupier. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been given and responded to, The Lord Provost, in a highly complimentary speec,l4 proposed - " The health of our respected guest, Profe ss " Thomson." Professor Thomson replied at great length, and able address detailed most graphically the mishaps : 0 anxieties attending the execution of the noblest enterP of modern times, concluding as follows :—Sooner . ° t later, we alLbelieve, another Atlantic cable will be lei but will it last any longer, will it do any more ic° l s , than the one which has ' raised and cast down many hopes ? Will another experiment be allotnta gigantic failure, and will material locomotion f, again fallen back upon as the only means of 9°" t munication between the Old and New Worlds ? the next trial will not be a failure, no man living c say is more than probable, although on no one point c.„ it be said that there is any insurmountable difficult''' 3 1 0 least of all on th a t which has proved the cause of rub the present case. Increased caution in the manufaetw3 and preservation, even without improvements in the 11 . 1 d terial, of the insulating cover, with a more searen system of detecti on f or f a ult s , m i g ht, I believe, n 1 36 very sure against any recurrence of such a failu r e , The great risk which the enterprise undeniably invel l io depends not on any one source cf danger, but on t v multiplied chances of accident inseparable from t 3 t exposure of so great a length of cable to so gr, e e a variety of contingencies. You have spoken sacrifices I made to give my assistance in the un",,,„ e " . taking. If I have made sacncfies, so have all the Ati' ; tic Telegraph Company. The cheerful and uncompleii ing spirit with which an apparently total loss of eaP l . O and interest has been met by subscribers to the Atlaut t o f Telegraph, forcibly demonstrates the high character the motives under which they have entered on an unde,:i taking, the success of which would have been of 8% large benefit to m an ki n d. It i s t rue th a t the birru,, e has been borne by th ose w h o h ave b een mos t c l o sely c' 9 , fleeted with the work. I shall always esteem it as honour to have belonged to the board or directors, 3 r lo in , this capacity to have acted along with men ``a have devoted themsel ves w ith so muc h earnes t n ess, ar e at so great personal sacrifices, to carry into executio n project of such high national importance. Under circnol; stances of the greatest discouragement, the directors h°` persevered with an untiring energy and undaunted rep,' lution, worthy of the great enterprise. Many of the; continued day after day, and mon th a ft er in° ll , t is sacrificing their own convenience, and setting aside tu, e bo own business avocations, to promote the interests of company. The unremitting daily attention given by %, executive committee, the zealous co-operation ot t j general manager, Mr. Cyrus Field, and the able 9ell energetic services of the secretary, Mr. Seward, may ' ic s be remembered with gratitude both now and when final and complete success is attained. Mr. Buchanan, M.P., p ro p ose d " Th e H ea lth of t 1 1 . 06 Directors of the Atla n ti c T e l egra ph C ompany ," the course of his remarks said, look upon telegran t e coinmnnication as an achievement well worthy of t of science of the age, of the philanthropy of the age, an u, : all who wish to see unity bet ween one na ti on an d anothe,,," and I shall hail the day — as I thi n k we a ll shall--- 101 "" that electrical communication is completed.

(Cheers.) There are lii in that company whose services in th e cause o f seiet ce , and commerce have been most valuable. Th e right gentleman at the head of the 'company—l mean * tb.

(Loud cheers.) ;le was a subject of mortification to him to find, that Ns'LL the ingenuity and the exertions of the Ameriea ll j who were engaged in the operations conneci with the telegraph were so enthusiastically lauo e in America, neither the name of Professor Wheatston ; the first successful telegrapher by land, nor of Profes s° , l Thompson, the first successful telegrapher of the brow Atlantic, where spoken ofin the United States. This singe remissness and a pp aren t i n j us ti ce on t h e part i°,/ the people of th e U n it e d St ates was, -however, caused .i.f the silence of th e p eo pl e o f Great u. i f themselves. ` a his country had been unjust to Professors Thomson o l d Wheatstone, it was only because the English people a ll the English Press were so ? a n d it was to B rita i n a loof almost that America looked for intelligence.
