ists, by whom the intervals between the toasts were filled
up with some well-selected operatic and social music.
On the removal of the cloth the first toast was of course
" The Queen," which was proposed in suitable terms by the
Right Hon. the Loan Marna, and acknowledged with all

in the chorus. (It was noticed by some of the more curious
a the company that the verse beginning "Confound their
politics," had been carefully omitted from the printed copy
which was handed round.)

The LORD MAYOR, in introducing the next toast, said
he could not bat feel under great obligations to the distin-
guished cieumeny by whom he saw himself surrounded, sad

lately been ailed upon by her Majesty to fill the leading
pea away her advisers. (Cheers.) It was quite imposai-
ble for him hay le adman the honour that had been con-
ferred on him by the noble lied, but he tendered him his
best thankelealth4 amsplionen with an invitation to the
Mansion-house. (Chasm) He could only hope that, in
whatever position the noble earl might he called on to fill,
he might enjoy every blessing and prosperity. He begged
to give them their distinguished guest, " The Earl of
Derby and her Majesty's ministers."
The Earl of DERBY said—My Lord Mayor, my lords,
ladies, and gentlemen, the pleasing task devolves upon me
of returning in my own name, and in that of my colleagues,
our grateful thanks to your lordship and to this distin-
guished company—first, for allowing us to be partakers el
the splendid hospitality of this city so long famous, and of
which it is no d sparagement to say that the present ease
is a splendid s • and next, toe the kindness wish
which you have mishit& the ,emit of the collet-

'OM Tama say further than that you receive with

eadmieltew hem a sena of public duty the arduous
and responsible task of conducting the government of the
country. (Load cheers.) I am not insensible to the diffi-
culty under which we have assumed our present position,
at the commencement of a parliamentary session, with so
little leisure to mature measures to be submitted to that
parliament. But I believe that our friends, and even our
opponents, give us credit for basin performed our duty, by
not shrinking from responsibility, and thus encountering a
ministerial interregnum at the commencement of a session
of parliament. (Rear, hear.) I do not presume to speak
here of a political course of action, but of this I hope I see
indications—and I hope I am not mistaken-1u this metro-
polis, that we are not looked upon as a set of reckless and
careless men, likely to neglect great national interests
or great moral or social obligations. (Cheers.) A change
of government so complete as that which has recently taken
place, would have been considered in some parts of the
world almost a revolution ; but in this country it may take
place not only without disturbance of public ardra,bat with►
out roiling the serene aspect of society and without die.
for a single moment the personal friendship even of
political opponents. (Loud cheers.) And to what is this to
be attributed ? Is it to any merit in man? No; but to
the institutions of the country itself: it is to the confidence
which every man feels that, be the ministry who they may,
in the light of the constitution they must walk, by the light
of the constitution they must be guided, and within
the limits of the constitution must their every
course be taken. (Loud cheers.) When it is known
that no minister can direct the affairs of this country for
any lengthened period, unless he enjoys the confidence and
support of his fellow-countrymen, they* can be little
anxiety as to results. Whether we enjoy that confidence
will be proved at no distant day; and if we do not possess
that confidence, I, for one, can say with perfect sincerity,
that I shall resign office end the labours and anxieties of
public life, with far more readiness and comfort to myself
than that with which I have undertaken its arduous and
painful responsibilities. (Hear, hear.) But if we should
be honoured, as I confidently trust we shall be, with the
support of the intelligent, industrious, and intellectual
people of this country, then I know I may say confidently
for every one of my colleagues, as I say without hesitation
for myself, that no sacrifice of time, of comfort, or even of
life itself, will be deemed too much to prove ourselves in
the slightest degree worthy of the favour of our sovereign,
and the support of the people of that great empire whom
interests have been committed to our charge. (Loud cheers.)
The Lord Mayor then gave "the Foreign Ministers." ,
Mr. LAWRENCE mid he had been deputed by his
brethren of the corps dip 'motions to return thanks, his
only recommendation for the ethos being the fact of his '
speaking English. He believed that all foreign nations
were now deeply impressed with the value of rem—
and, above all. Orme with Great Britain, of which the
City of London was the heart. (Cheers.) Ile and his
colleagues had many times enjoyed the hospitality of the
City of London, and ho rejoiced now to see that it was
not likely to fall off in the hands of its present dispenser.
(Cheers.) Os the part of his colleagues and of himself,
he tendered them his best thanks.
The next toast wss—. The House of Lords."
The Marquis of EisusiteltY returned thanks.
The Earl of DERRY gave, with an appropriate mile-
glum, " The present Lord Mayor."
The LOW) MAYOiI returned thanks.
The see lead was "The Rouse of Cosnathas."
Me. Betherithy WALPOLE, in returning thanks, said
that the nolatbees of the House of Commons were so
divided in opinion, that he felt great difficulty in returning
ANA' for them collectively, but the place in which he
ahead was neutral ground i and without meaning soy dis-
respect to the House of Commons, the neutrality 01 the
Mansion-house was much pleasanter than the bickering and
differ. Imes of opinion that occurred elsewhere. (Cheers and
a laugh.) This he believed he might say for the House of
Commons, that whatever might he their differences of
opinion they had one common object in view, and that was
the well•betug and advancement of the peuple at large.
(Hear, hear.)
1 he nest toast was "The City Members."
Mr. MAATEMAN returned thanks.
