The trek, a I•i uniiimilt, who was greeted with loud ap-
plauee, sal -My Lord Mayor, ladies, sod gentlemen, I
me. in the tall* of the army, to rescued to the toast which
Les lave au erscefully given by the Lord Manx, and I
We this oppolueity of assuring this large assembly
the citizens of Leslie, that the army is proud
of the handsome and &teensy manlier in which its name is
always received by tl'e citizens of hoodoo. (Hear, bear.)
It I. a high rompdinient teeny profession to be appreciated
LT their fellosvcountrymen, tad I em persuaded that no
Lady of our countrymen gives the true meal of praise
to the army more readily and freely than the citizens of
Loudon. (Deur, bear.) Gentlemen, we are conehlerni not
a warlike people. and I am emulated by the Lord Mayor and
the architect of the City of Loudon on this occasion that
peace is aa emblem that is moat &sired and looked upon.
/Mewl I cordially enter into the sentiment thus ci
ceroni, hut at the Nano time I observed on entering this
ball, at the other end. the words, " Defence, not defiance."
(Bev. hear.) That, gentlemen, I believe is exactly what
the people of Emrlend always desire, and it is with this
hickey that the citizen, of Leah)°, in combination with the
people of England, desire toile, the various menials
ellf-
o.etly maintained. (lieu, hear.) And, my Lard Mayor
sad geotlemen. though we may not be what, in the
Gmm., acceptation of the term, is called a military
sawn, we are Cu that account not less true
to the military 'pint thea any other nation. On the CUO•
teary, I think of late years we have seen evinced among as
a noble spirit each as no country certainly has surmised
aid few if any have equalled. (Cheers.) The Loed Mayor
has alluded to the Volunteers. That is part of the toast
which will be responded to by a noble friend ; but I cannot
help remarking the noble spirit iu which the citizens of
Loudon have come forward in this great national movement.
(('been.) I hare seen it lately observed that the volun-
teer, may take the place of the regular army. I di, not for
the moment believe that either the volunteers themselves or
the people of England have any such idea. The ordinary
retiment exproesed is, that the volunteers of England form
the most admirable auxiliary force to the army that any
country is the world could produce ; but if you were to
attempt to allow the volunteers to take the place of the
army the whole volunteer system would, in my
epiniels, break down. That is the sentiment en-
tertained by the volunteers themselves, and I am
sure it is participated in by the people of England generally.
/Cheers) On the part of the army, I can only say we have
lees highly tattered by the distinguished compliment which
has been paid to mien this and se many other occasions, aid
I beg to assure you that it is my earnest and anxious desire,
with the concurrence of the government, which has en
liberally supported me and than associated with me en
even occasion. to maintain the service I am connected with
is that high state of eMeissey, which will enable it to do
its duty to the country if, uefortuastely, it should again be
gelled upon to take the tell. (Cheers.)
The Duke of Borgaser said that in returning thanks
le the part of the Navy, b. felt be was speaking at behalf
of • body whirs servile. were required in every sea to which
British OMIENIM. eatonded. The labour, sod difficulties of
that noble service were sow ecosiderably increased, because
an Eaglieltman wherever he was settled —and Englishmen
were to be found in every part of the globe, from Van-
'levee. Island to Tea Dieenea's Lid, sad from Japan to
Pena—expected to enjoy the prettesties of the British 'Lag.
Last year when he had to thank hi lerdeltip for proposing
the same Lout. the British Bost bad them, le oecjuoction
with the army, just brought to • suseseaftil close the opera-
tions in China. New the serving of the Navy were likely
spin to be called in requisition in wejusetion with that of
other maritime powers in the Gulf 01 Mexico, not for the
purpose of oppression or conquest, but in ceder to vindicate
ries rights, to reparation for the wrongs judicial upon
British subject', and to ware the due performance of those
eseagernisate which had been solemnly made but repeatedly
eadesed. For that object the British Navy was again likely
to be called into actica, sad be was en tilled that whatever
'tight be the result, that navy weakd cealinue to drone

pasiiWis that there may be dilfereeces of opinion between the
people of the two countries upon minor subjects. You may
not like the system of democracy which exists amongst
us. We may not lire your system of aristocracy and go-
verning by ranks. You may think we are sometime' too
free in our manners. We, on the contrary, may think the
various forms of ;society in this country too formal and stria-
4eut. but, my lord, these ildferences of opinion CID never,
while the wide Atlantic flows between us, lend to mischief,
.1..1 1 trust sincerely that there may never be more serious
differences than those I hare indicated. (Cheers.) For the
past eighty years there has been for America a great and
giorious history; but at the same time, let me add, we take
atonal as much pride as you in the traditions of England.
(Loud cheers.) Indeed, we claim to take the deepest
int. 'Tot in everything that relates to the past and present
of this great country. It was only the other day, when
All effort was matte to perpetuate some memorial of
the garden of the immortal Shakspere, that I saw there
was a greater proportion of Americans who went se pilgrims
to that spot than of his own countrymen. (Cheers.)
The names of your great men are as familiar to us as to
you ; sod there is not an act of heroism performed here
that does not awaken a responsive feeling in the hearts of
my countrymen. (Cheers.) We have the story of Grace
!haling adorning the walls of public buildings in America,
and I assure you that the name of Florence Nightingale is
held in sa high honour in the United States aa it possibly
can be here. (Cheers.) To allude to a still higher name, I
will. in conclusion, say that the name of her Majesty the
Queen of England is honoured in the remotest hamlets of
America ; not because she is queen of England—for there
have been a great many queens whose names we do not
honour—bet she is honoured in America as a pattern
daughter, as • pattern of a mother and wife, and above all,
as the Christian sovereign of a noble people. (Cheers.) I
am sure I echo the common sentiment of all in my country
soil in England when I say, Peens here, peace there, peace
everywhere. (Loud cheers.)

The LORD MAYOR next pee " Her Majesty's
coupled with the was et Lord Palmerston.
The tout baring hewn responded to with much enthu•
Masai,

Lord PALDDR`VION, who on rising was greeted with loud
and prolonged cheering, said—My Lord Mayor, my lords,
ladies, and gentlemen, for myself and my colleagues, I beg
you to accept our most heartfelt thanks for the honour you
have done us by so accept' ng the health which the Lord Mayor
has proposed. I can manure you, gentlemen, that it is
always a matter of saucers pleasure to those aho are en-
gaged, se we are, is the turmoils and labours of public life,
to mix here with than who are engaged in laying the foun-
dations for the wealth and prosperity and happiness of the
country, by carrying on, in the way in which the citizens
of this great commercial metropolis of the world do carry
on, those commercial transactions, of which their fel-
low-countrymen are so justly proud. It is also a great
pleasure to them who are engaged in the strife of political
life occasionally to be invited to these mend boards, where
they meet in friendly emaciation those to whom they may
be opposed is the more active scenes of their public occupa-
Lion. And this is, indeed, more easy at the present time
than it might have been in former periods of our political
history. 'There were periods, not now so long distant,
when those who were engaged on opposite sides in public
life, combined with political antagonism the strongest
permed antipathies. Those days are happily over. Those
who differ is public life may sometimes differ in regard
to the principles of action ; they may sometimes differ
se to the way in which the common principles
professed by both an to be carried into action ;
bet their differences, though they may tend to political
antagouism, never lead to personal enmity or dislike.
(Cheers.) Indeed, amongst those who are most distin-
guished on each side of those tables which are spread—not is
this convivial manner—in the Houses of Parliament, with
materials for mental consumption—(laughter)--those, I say,
who sit upon opposite sides of those tables, are men who
at different periods of their lives have been united by per-
axial fri•odahip, and whms mud has outlived their
political eeparation. (Chases.) Therefore, I say, gentle-
men, that it is far more ssay, aid far more agreeable now
than it might have bees is former periods of our history,
for men of different political sentiments to meet, as we
are mestieg to-night, I. the associations of social harmony,
to enjoy the festivity which the magnificence of this
greet city affords. You have, my Lord Mayor, alluded
to the decorations which adorn these walls. I may say
that these walla may be mussed as an emblem of the state
of feeling of the country. (Cheers.) You have pointed
out that this interior abounds with emblems of
peace, indicative of the anxious desire of the ooeatry to
preserve to itself the blessings of pesos. (Hear.) Bat, se
we entered them walls, we saw at the portals armed also—
voluntems. (Cheers.) Aye, volunteers, who are the emblems
of the resolution of the country to bar the entrance ot the
lend to any who might wish, with rude and profane steps,
to disturb the pesos sad tranquillity which ridges within.
(eras.) Now, that band of voluateers was not less em-
Martial of the feeling of ths country because it consisted

wield the musket which they had upon their shoulders.
• prod, therefore, that yuuug and old combine in

Ditnece to the laud and to preserve that pesos which
we all as anxiously desire to maintain. (Loud cheers.)
My lord and patlewma, I may also say that we

locket from • drawer in Mrs. Ulmann's drtsaing-room.
The prisoner Kirby acknowledged having taken the arti-
