DINNER AT THE MANSION-HOUSE TO THE
ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND TEE
CLERGY.

Yesterday eviDiog the Right Ron. the Lord
Mayor entertained, in the Egyptian Hall, his Grace the
Archbishop of Canterbury, several of the bishops, and a
large party of the clergy oronetted with the metropolitan
diocese.
After the anal preliminary toasts,
The Loin MAYOR proceeded to give the health of hie
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. He said he felt
proud in being honoured with the company of an individual
holding so high a position is the churcb of England as did
the most reverend prelate. He felt, also, proud of the
smell assistance which he (the Lord Mayor) had been able
to give his greet., within the bounds of his municipal autho-
rity, in furthering those exertions for the benefit of the
church of England for which his grace was so eminently
distinguished. It wee always pleasing to him when he saw
men of great eminence, either in church or state, show an
desire to forward the cause of religion sad of Nina-
lion. ( Hear," and cheers.) His gi aos the archbishop
was engaged 'lame every Sunday in settle g an example to
his clergy, and in urging theca to forward by preaching and
sorrier in this great metropolis the sacred muse to which
their lives were devoted. The importance of each erections
could not be °vaunted, es they could ant expose the
tbemselves to take an interest in their relipioas taro=
as gereral education utilise those who wire their spiritual
Worn encouraged them by precept and 'sample. He
bed always thought it was one of the duties of the Lord
Mayor of the City of London to shcw the connexion of
those engaged in temporal government with these who were
employed to watching over the religions interests of the
staple; and he felt confident that be had not fallen behind
ids predecessors in furthering, as far as in him lay, the dis-
semination of sound mom' and religions principles.
(Chan) With them obthrvatioes he would give them the
"Health of the Archbishop of Canterbury." (Cheers.)
The Archbishop of CANIIIRSURT said he felt very
grateful for the terms in which it had pleased the Lord
Mayor to speak of him and of has position, although he could
net take to himself personally ail the flattering expressions
while his lordship had been so kind se to use. Much of the
pear be felt belonged to the high office which he had the
serer to hold in the church of England, and to the clergy
ever whom it was his pride and pleasure to preside. His
lordship had spoken of the connexion which in the metropo-
lis should always exist between churth and state. With that
his lordship ad had much to do, is promoting the well-
ordering of the eimmettity, by a virtue's administration of
the law, as well as by the promotion of that sound education,
which, if "Millet' sl. would make law comparatively unnecee
eery. Education would be of no veleta sullen based on roll-
esies principle, but b glowere necessity for the well-bob/get
the eemmucity. For, although the rigour of the deer
might restrain great offenders, still there was much othalt
tendency to crime which no laws could reach, and there-
fore could neither prevent nor restrain. (thee end cheers.)
For this reason it was necessary that rangier sad
influence should be brought to bear, and hear dal lOW
of that intimacy between the clerical end
authorities which his lordship so 'Weedy la low
mote. It was that union that filled up all de find
cherished that spirit of kindness and Chtletiea charity ea
which the welfare of the wit de community amuck depend.
lie therefore thanked the Lind Mayor most heartily for
thus bringing together the various ranks of the clergy, and
trseted that the spirit of co-opt ration would long exist be-
tween that body and the chief magistrate of the City of
London. His lordship, in his exertions la this direction, had
emulated, if not surpassed, the efforts of his predecessors ;
and be (the archbishop) trusted that hie lordship's successors
would, if possible, go still (whir, and that, under God's
blessing, rto praiseworthy and beneficial a combination
would be atteneltd with the hest results to the community.
(lieu, bear.) He begged, In eteclusicie to offer his best
moths for them is which his health had been re-
ceived by the company.
The nest toast was "The army and navy."
Colonel Anorrion retuned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then gave the health, of the hi shop,
regretting the absence, from indisposition, of the Bishop of
London, with whom he (the Lord Mayor) had the honour
to be intimately acquainted. He begged to couple with the
totes the name (deka Lord Bishop of Winchester, whose
exertious had been so beeefieially felt in the borough and
otherpeetions of his graos'e diocese.
The Humor of Wrecznathi, is returning thanes, she
ezpremed hie regret ar the abeam of the ismer of Leaden,
in whom ell the bishops and clergy felt that they had a
valuable friend and adviser. He was sure he spoke the
sentiments not only of his own clergy, but of all the clergy
of the kingdom, when he expressed eke gratitude they felt
at the compliment paid to their order by the Lord Mayor,
in thus assembling them round his hospitable board.
The next toast was, " The Clergy of the Di ame."
Archdeacon HALM returned thanks.
The Loin MAYOR next gar " The Earl of Hanowby
and the House of Peers."
The Berl of HARROWSt wished he was able to deltaic'
to the important functions of the House of Lords. That
hams had this peculiarity, that its members formed so ex-
elusive caste, but were raised from, and mingled with the
other elaseee of the subjects; and helm the ab-
sence of that jealousy with which thistacreeies were re-
garded in other countries. His lordship was aware that
for the happiness of a community two things were aeon-
they—liberty and order; and if it woe the function of the
pi polar Wench of the legislature to HOUR the liberties of
the people, be believed he might without arrogance claim
for the House of Lords the merit of preserving that order,
without which the most extended liberty would be a cures
rather them a blessing. (Cheers.)
"The University of Leedom."
The Biel of BURLINGTON aelmowledged the teeth
The Loan Maxon then gave "Lord J. Russell and pros-
perity to the City of London." He said that the noble lerd,
during Me long piliticel career, bed left no public interest
which he had not in time furthered se protected. He had
defended the church, and when at another time be thought
that the House of Comatose did not represent the interests
of the people, be promoted and achieved the reform of that
great body. (Hear, hear) Keay other public teams had
his lordship supported, and in all his pebiie conduct bad
serwad the gratitude and respect of the people of this coun-
try. He proposed to them therefore to drink the health of
Lord J. Rope% peopling with It the sentiment of "Pros-
perity to the City of London." (Cheers)
Lord J. Resesee, who spoke from ea unusually remote
past of the room, wee understood to say that he felt deeply
the honour that bad jest bean paid him. His lordship had
been pleased to idled* in 'Meseta; terms to his (Lord Joha
Russell's) political gather, and also to his connexion with
the City of Leaden. Of that earrisa he should
always feel proud, eo deeply impressedwas be
with the greatness of the City of Leaden not
