The shield wee dieplayed in a prominent position on the
walls of the old hall, and being &mounded with ivy and
other evergreens had a aingidarly plotaresque effect amidst
the ans old Feinting* by which on ersry side it was ear-
.. . .

The cloth having bun draws, the weal lord and p.n.'.
nary mem were enthusiastically honoured, and were fol-
lowed by " The flattop and Clergy of the Diocese," re-
epmded to by the Res.:Canoe Wood, and " The Army and
Navy," which was acknowledged by Earl Banobamp and
Admiral Hasthige.
The noble Commas the rose, amidst prolonged cheers,
to propose the health of the Right Honourable Sir John
Taunton, and to make the presentation.
Sir JOHN PARINOTON, whose tieing WY the signal for as
outburst of chewing, said—Lord Lynette', my lota sad
gentlemen, if anything °mild bayeadded to the mlty of dm
tea white now devolves upon me, that difficulty would arks
from the eloquent—the too nattering sad the kind terms to
which my noble friend hen dose me the homer to inbuilt toy=
the toast. I DOW rise to attempt the difficelt, I may say the
Impossible teak of giving expression In language tethers deep
feelings of respectful gratitude with which my heart Is
I have to that you not only for this impacted present
which has now been presented to me, but I have alio to
thank you for all that kindness and that support which
through a long caries of years has enabled me to perianaz
public duties la tole country. (Cheers) The highest n
which can Weed the labours of a public man la to be found
in the approbation and iappart of those mongol wham lb
duties have been discharge' ; bent, gmailemse,
athis=
acquilres tealidd New whim that appreheakm JD
and those %a we einqatemed scot °sly by these amongst
whom I have Inbound, bat by those In the locality innwlia
I was horn, and to which I am attached by every tie that
can strengthen our feelings of lore' attachment—by those
amongst whom I have lived from my boyhood to advanced
life, and who know not only my public career, but private
character. (Chain.) There are two circumstances me-
neetad with the oseemooy of this evening to which
I most beg for a moment to advert, as they aced me
peculiar pleasure, and render this ceremony ea gratifying
to me ea it oould possibly be made. The tint is, that this
beautiful present, which the county and city of Worcester
have dome me the amour to gas me, ham beta pmented te
me by my noble Maid the lord•lieutenant. My noble Mend
has told you that my chairmanship commenced at a period
when hie noble father wee lord-lieutenant of the county. I
well recoiled the Madams I nosiest from that noble bed,
and the rennet I always Mt for him ; but my noble friend
who is now preddlag on this manioc, mid who has just
premated me with a headsome proof of your regard, has
occupied the high pedtka of lad-Hastemat 11=e
great majority ad years dueled which I have hem hem
at the Tarter eiedeas. We have had camatattly the meet
wad ateresera—vs have communicated on the most

friendly terms, through a lOtuf:LerioT of yearr,i. upon th; ;
affairs of this county. I en foe him those of
public respect and private friendship—mod may, say
affection—with which he is readved by all who know him ;
and it Is to me • greet eddidoce to the pleasure I
which the proceeding, of this day cannot but give me,
that my noble friend should have beat mad upon, to
discharge the duty which he has so kindly done. (Loud 4
(beers.) The other circumstance to which I have alluded
is that I see around this table—and I regard it with unquali-
fied satisfaction—l see abundant proof that se my chairman- ,
ship commenced so does it now conclude under circumstances
which prove that no politica nor party spirit has ever maned
the transaction of public business. (Hear, hear.) I Infer
that it is your belief, that in the discharge of my local duties 1
—being, se I em of necessity • member of a politiesl party.
and a man who hes acted and held cellos with a political
party—l have never earned party feeling beyond its proper
limits. nor allowed it to be mixed up with busbies& with
which it hes no legitimate connexion. (Applause.)
Moaner my humble services to the country may
have bass, they have already been generously and pro-
(heel rewarded; and this ocomion Is no lees at the
an which I have received a public nepenthes of
Wass meeker, whatever their value may have been. Mr
Jolts this mentioned that tea years ago his portrait was
plated fa the county hall; that in 1864, when he requested
in rash., Wing the ditties incompatible with those in
smother sphere, he remind an addrees signed by 126 magis-
trates, beggiag bite to resume his dudes; and that in the
;ntof 1868. when he begged to relinquish the chair,
h was compiled with,ut hie resignation wee followed
by the presentation to him of an giddier, to which he said he
attached a degree deals, which It wee impossible for him
to express, and the terms of which were of • beautiful and
touching character. He proceeded I own the last thing I
expected after receiving those repeated proofs of kindness
wee that I should resin any tribute from the county of
Worcester in the present shape; but I bad namely received
this lest address when I was informed that a subscription
had been set on foot—limited, of nermellty, In its amount—
and the result I have seen to-night; bat the difference In
the act of kindness is, that whilst the former expression
of good feeling proceeded from the magistracy of the county
only, this handsome gift hes ;been subscribed for by my
neighbours and friends in this city end county. (Cheers.)
I cannot refrain (rota the expres.ioo of my wish that this
occasion, so memorable and gratifying to me, and so me-
morsbleto those who are deer to me, should. if possible, be
productive of some benefit to others. I am one of those who
believe we may always draw a moral lenses from such pro-
ceedings as them. There are not • few of those now here
whose career In life is still before them. I hope they will net
think me guilty of presumption or egotism if I venture to
touch on than principles of action to which I most attribute
the tumours I have on this end on other occasion received. I
have obtained them through the exercise of no great tran•
meadeat abilities ; certainly not. No, gentlemen, if it has
bees my tod fortune. in any degree, to deserve that favour
which I ye received from my most gracious sovereign,
if I have deserved any portion of the kindness I have
received in this my native county ; if I have been enabled to
administer those great departments of the State which have
been successively entrusted to me, and to which my noble
friend has alluded is suck flattering terms, without disad-
vantage to the publle service or discredit to myself. I firmly
believe that I em indebted to the exercise of qualities sad
the adoption of rules which are equally in the power and
within the reach of every man who hears me, and every
man elsewhere, who desires to take • part in the public affairs
of his country. I am Indebted for whatever measure of soo-
tier I have obtained in public life to the combination with
moderate qualities of honesty of intention, firmness of pur-
pose, and steadiness of .duet(Lotd cheers.) If I
were to offer advice to any young man anxious to
make himself useful in public life, I would nut
up the remits of my own experience in three abort
rides, so simple that every men may ondentend them,
and se easy that every mon may set upon them. My bet
' rule would be " !AIM to others to judge for whet duties and
, for what position you an hest fitted, but never mites to glee
your services la whatever vaginae. It may be the °pities of
others who may be compellent to jeep yen wery be motel

either to your sorrier sr to your carry." My mooed
tale would be, " Whoa ere you have undertaken public
dud* ccetentrele *very esis Ind eery thirty you re

beet of year power; win the apprebadon of your own or-
seisneelnd popularity in its beat and highest sere it we to

parade the part which the eitiuene of Wort:era bed done
its the borer to ter in that demonstration, and observed
this be wee lid to believe that the gentlemen of the city had
Ansel thejset °price that these ware lintel when soda

(Lead thews.) Attar • few haertleit words acknowledging
the et permuted to him, the right boo. baronet sat down
midst continued theselag.
The health, of the noble chabram the high sheriff, the
members for the oomty and borough, and the vice-chairman,
