genuine hospitality it could not be exceeded, even by ,
their own city of Paris.
The LORD MAYOR alluded to the welcome vouchsafed
by the municipal authorities of Paris to certain members
of the London corporation on the occasion of their visit-
ing Paris, and then requested the company to honour 1
4‘ The President of the Council and those distinguished
personages who were now visiting London."
M. DELANGLE acknowledged the compliment, and
gave "The health of the Lady Mayoress," for which
the Lord Mayor returned thanks.
M. PELOUZE proposed " The Aldermen, Sheriffs, and
Corporation of London," and was pleased to say that
there was nothing in the splendours of Paris which
could equal what they saw here. There were some monu
anents in Paris which were admired for their magnifi-
icencer, but that magnificence was obscured by narrow I
streets and old buildings. In making wide streets and 1
throwing open old and ugly parts of the French capital
they were only following the English example, and doing
what had been done in the city of London. But it was
not only to England that they owed the suggestion, but
shey owed to the alliance with England the ability to
effect such improvements in *EI city of Paris, in the
midst of the war in which they were involved. They
had particular reasons to be grateful, and the French
people generally were grateful to the English nation.
They were grateful to the English navy and army now
fighting side by side with their own navy and army, and
struggling with one another as to which should be first
to repel an attack, or the last to defend with their life's
blood the united banners of France and England.
Alderman FAREBRoYAER, as senior alderman, acknow-
ledged the toast.
" The Lord Mayor of Dublin" followed, and then
/'The French, Sardinian, and other Consuls."
The Sardinian Consul, as the oldest member of the
ody, responded, remarking that at the present time
5,000 Sardinian troops were embarking at Genoa for
the purpose of supporting, at the theatre of war, the
just and holy cause in which England, France, and Sar-
dinia were united. Although Sardinia was a small na-
tion, they had great good-will and honesty of purpose
;
and although the number of troops was ao large, t
the
men themselves were excellent soldiers.
The healths of Prince Gholab Mahmoud and Prince
Ferozesbah were proposed by the Lord May or ; and the
last toast. was '"The Members of the House of Com-
mons," acknowledged by Mr. G. Moffatt.
The band of the Scots Fusiliers played several pieces
during the evening, and some duetswere!ung with good
taste by M. and Madame Weiss. The dinner itself was
A
laid by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, ldersgate-street.
Mr. Harker displayed his usual efficiency as toastmaster ;
and at about 11 o'clock the company separated.
