On Saturday *venlig an entertainment worn given
by the Lord Mayor, lathe Emilia Hall, Maadon-hosor,

to her Majeety'; Judges.
Attar the anal loyal and patriotic touts, that of "The
Army end Navy" being nspoaded to by Lletet-Geseral
Bit J. Dovrrow sad VieeAdmiral Mr C. 1)mm:ow,

The Loan MAYOZ said he felt it • high honour to be
surrounded, es he was that evening, by so many learned
sad gifted members of the noble profession of the law. The
Lord Chief Justice of England was known everywhere, not
only as an ornament to the bench, but es the author of that
very intermits work, "The Lives of the Chancellors of
England." He was also delighted, as the chief magis-
Oa' e of the City of London, to see p-essnt on that aces-
aim the Lord Chief Baron and other Judges, each eminent
in his respective sphere, and setting an example to all
the world of litudene• and integrity in the dis-
abuse of their judidal functions—(cheers)—so that
ime masa weld einem the proceedings of their

*Mr deeisium The Lied Chief Justice bad been
alleMelle Of the emsient earperation of that city ; be
Illamend that hb lordiMb would again, if necessary, give his
swops.. te a dirrralei Italy which served, as he verily be-
leerd, exit purpesse; and, while changes must
Ike Menu of knowledge and the progress of
maid iMpleivement, sad though evils naturally arose with
the Wu of time, be believed it would be found that the
Oelleillestion of the City of London had the power sad the
SlMlldtion to reform itself so as to kes=witli *bra
Wi th these reuarks, he had ia
" the Lad Chief Justice of Easter, le Lord C
and the rest of her Majesty's judges."
After a fitting response bad been given to the least,
Lord Chief Justin Camrsnee, on rising to reply, said the
judges all felt that a greet bosomy had been conferred wpm
them, and he trusted that the praises which the Lord Mayor
had bestowed them ware not altogether unmerited.
Through the asslslaaw of the legislature in improving their
procedure, jeedes wee now administend not only with
purity but also with despatch, sad, both in the courts of law
sod is the everts of equity, very soon atter a grievance
arose it rkaivid redress. Formerly, it was often complained
that • court la the Court of Chancery lasted nearly a cen-
tury. He eoild wall remember Mr. Jekyll, a friend of his,
toiling him that when be was filet called to the bar, he was
very much surprised at being immediately entrusted with a
brief by • solicitor engaged in • Chancery snit; but the ex-
planation given by his solicitor was that he thought Mr.
Jekyll had • son of right to • brief in that Nue, as the bill
was draws by • great great grand-uncle of his in the reign
of Queen Anne. (Laughter.) Now, however, • few months
after the bill was tiled, there was a final decree. As
regarded the corporation of the City of London, he felt that
it had conferred inestimable benefits upon the country, and
he hoped it would be preserved to distant ages. (Cheers.)
The otilee of chief msgistrate could not be dispensed with.
Ragland would not be England without the Lord Mayor.
(Laughter.) He recollected being told by Sir Samuel Ro-
inllly, that when be was made Solicitor-General, he received
a letter from • French guillotine with whom he was
intimate, congratulating him on his • poiatment, astsa
his that he might expect soon to be , add went,
no doubt, ultimately attain the hearer et Wes Lord
Mayor. (Laughter.) The Lied Mew of the t day
alight not, like Sir William Welewelb, be none apes to
quell a rebellion ; but he bed loparteat daelN to perform.
He had to misty* the pease of the sty; be bad to pre-
side over the illustrious ehentlee Obit alensil the seas-
polis; he had to mist la the edmilidelsedea d NINO,. NA
ho was the head af the asussiselea et which all the
were membeen sad they were delighted to serve under
impious. la Ms instance, at lust, they had the right man
in the right plass. The office of Lord Mayor was never
more worthily filled, its duties were performed more
creditably. Bessatly the Lord Mayor had contributed most
materially to the drawing closer the ties of amity by which
England and France were now united. (Cheers.) The
manner in which he had tanned the Emperor
and Empress of the Friuli had given universal
satisfaction, end no doubt would be attended with
the best results; and the whole country assented to
the 'Worries epos him of an hereditary title—the title of
Milleposet—on so auspicious an occasion. (Cheers.) He
medentood that the Lord Mayor was about to retain the
visit of the Prefect of the Seine ; and he wee sure that in
doing so his lordship would help to =Mattis the honour
and dignity of the City. The noble and learned lord con-
cluded by proposing "the Lord Mayor."
The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the tout. His
lordship then proposed, " The Hoses of Commons and
Lord C. Hamilton.
Lord C. HAMILTON, M.P., alluding in his reply to the
administrative reform movement, observed that the me-
dusa prunes of that city had raised the name of English-
1101011Sibe
probity sad Mum which characterised their
trensMillems, and that there, at all events, competition was
the mile, sad as highest positions were yielded to merit,
sad set to avow. The houses of legislators, in which
there had meetly been so much discussion as to the best
EMMA el nearing the right men for the right places,
aright well tern to that ancient corporation for • lesson on
the
Treel) CHIRP BARON said be Ma to propose • toast.
Adverting to the remarks of the Lord Chief-Jutiee, he ob-
served that, in their independence and integrity, the ledges
did but reflect the virtues of the English nation. Having
witnessed the administration of justice for the last forty or
fifty years, he felt bound to bear testimony to the intelli-
gence, independence, and integrity of the juries of this
country. (Chun.) He concluded by proposing "The
Health of the Lady Mayoress."
The Loan MAYOR briefly responded.
The remaining touts were—" The Queen's Ancient
&deist (Mr. Sufism Manaine) and the Bar of Eng-
land ;" " The Literature of the Country," associated with
the name of Mr. S. Warren ; " The Aldermen and Sheriff.,"
acknowledged by Mr. Alderman Farebrother ; and " The
Muter of Trinity Hall, Cambridge " (Dr. Golden).
The entertainment was enlivened by the presenca of •
large number of ladies. There was an excellent band, and
the toasts derived eclat from the heraldic powers of the offi-
ciating toastmaster, Mr. Harker.
The company dispersed about tan o'clock.
