The Czainsen nest proposed "Her Majesty's Minis-

He said—The voice of the people as jest expressed by the
elections had clearly pointed out who the head of the
minion y should be, and we mild not but ocragratalate
Mr. Gladstone and her Majesty's ministers that the
Queen had interpreted the voice of the people as she
always had done. (Loud cheers.) The Fielimengere
Company felt the highest honour that a member of thuds-

High Chancellor of Berthed. (Cheese.)
The Los) COANOII.I.OII (Lord Hatherley), who was

be felt deeply grateful for the mode in which the mummy
had received the observations that had hem made of him
personally, and be felt far more gratefal for that kindness
and feeling of earnest and Saone approbation with which
they had received the toast of her Majesty's ministers.
As regarded himself, to be well known amongst the com-

gratifying a teutianoay as a man could desire. They had

and aspirations, whin making his first
addrees after being liberated from 16

which was imposed upon him when rehabiting what
seemed to be • calmer sphere than that of polities, he was
able to tell his hearers that he bad never abated one jot

events had just.. In the first year of his occupation of
a seat in the House of Commons, now exactly twenty
years ago, be spoke and voted for that measure of hoase-

(thee's.) He spoke and voted in favour of Mr. Hume's
motion, in company with eighty others. They were
then called " destructive.,' and he was once
asked, not by • tory, but by • member of Ms
liberal party why he was such a republican. (Laughter.)
'I here had now been established a principle of government
which he believed would never tail us in this country. It
was a pi inciple of trust and hope, and we had banished
for ever those settled feelings of distrust and despair which
were afraid to confide in • certain bode of our fellow
citirens, who now were admitted within the pale of
the constitution. He assured his hearers he bad the
peatest confidence in that trust which had been reposed
by the people of England in Mr. Gladstone as their
leader, and he believed that trust would be fully responded
to—that he would advance—that his progress would rest
on a basis of order—that it would be guided by justice
that it would be strengthened and forwarded in firm faith
and hope—and above all, he believed the end would be
perfect success. (Loud cheers.)
Baron YASTIN, who rose without being announced by
the toast-master, said—Le. me toll you au anecdote.
had once the honour of being a reembn of the House of
Commons, and the Lord Chancellor held a situation there.
Upon a particular occasion there arose a debate upon the
Lull church, and the Lord Chancellor expressed his views
pretty much in the way that has been popular of
late. Mr. Bright did the same. I was present in the
tilriof the house, and a person of very high position in
e
amembly said in my presence, " We shin live to see
the day when Mr. Wood will be Lord Chancellor, and
Mr. Bright a minister of the crown.' That has been ful-
filled, and lam proud to see it. (Loud cheers.)
The toast of The House of Lords" was responded to
by Lord Houghton.
Chief Justice Bovril. responded for "the Bench." In
doing so he spoke in the highest terms of Sir Roundel'
Palmer for abstaining from accepting an office to which
every lawyer a:ond on account of the purest and most
honourable convictions. (Cheers.) It was a matter of
gratification in the profeolion that there were two such
man in high positions as Lord Hatberley and the Solicitor-
General. His right hon. and learned friend the Lied
Chancellor bad spoken of the gloomy vatichistions which
were once associated with household suffrage, and he (the
Chief Justice) would leave that sab Mt to be dealt with
by hie right hon. friend the Cb of the Exchequer.
(Laughter.)
The fimierrot-Gernmer. (Mr. Coleridge), in a brief
speech, in which there was no political reference, responded
to the toast of "The Bar,' which had been associated
with "The Bench.'
The Mull/LW proposed " The House of Commona,"
and stated that belied prevailed upon the Chancellor of
the Mehequer to respond.
The Clieseirros of the Mesterei, who was re.
ceived with loud cheering, said—Them are two ens
to every subject. the negative and positive. As
far as the negative goes nothing can be sexier than
the task I have to discharge to-night, because I
have the honour to be a member of the government
which has just sprung into existence, and of a House of
Commons, or rather hope to be • member of that home,
which has its first fault to commit. (A laugh)
Nothing can be easier than the panegyric
I have to pronounce upon both of them. This govern-
ment haalangrpetrated no jobbery, yet ; it has shown no
furious spirit ; it has sustained no damage in de-
feats; ' has brought in no abortive measures ; it has im-
posed no unpopular taxation ; it has got us into no foolish
wan' it has presented no unseemly spectacles of violence
and differences amongst its members; it has not done a
single one of those things which • government ought not
to do, which is no small credit, although it is a little
by the fact that it is not yet quite formed,
and that it has been only a week in exustance. (Loud
laughter.) If 1 turn from the government to the House of

(Laughter) It has done nothing whatever that the most

friend would say, "Its record is choir." (Laughter.)
Perhaps, having raid so much, I had better sit

I shall do everything you can possibly wish. You have
