VISIT
OF THE
EMPEROR AND EMPRESS
TO THE CITY.

GUILDHALL.

At about half-past two the Emperor and
Empress entered the ball, and at this moment it
presented a scene of the greatest magnificence
imaginable.
The scene within the hall previously to the arri-
val of the august visitors was grand in the extreme.
The company, which had begun to arrive in large
numbers as early as: :ten o'clock, had very
nearly all assembled, and filling, as they did, the
whole of the west end of the building, and the•
north and south sides, formed of themselves
a most brilliant and varied feature, but,
when viewed in conjunction with the gorgeous
decorations of the Hall, the rich, flowing robes of
the aldermen and common council, the embroidered
uniforms of the representatiica of the-different
corps .4iplornatiqUe, constituted a tout ensemble
of extraordinary splendour. All this burst at
once upon the eye the moment one had passed
through the principal entrance into the time-
honoured edifice with a magic mail enchanting effect.
The illusion of the scene was 10aintained by the
"eloquent music" which was Osconrsocl by the
splendid band of the Royal iloiesg.kauards (Blue),
and of which the folloWing is a programme

May ever find in the affections of domestic life the best

cares and weight of the high destiny you are now fut
filling with such conspicuous power and moderation, as
we fervently pray that life and health may, by the bles -
in of Providence, be vouchsafed to your Majesties fo
many years to come." , • . . 1
The Empress rose from her seat before the Rd,-
corder.comrnencedreadinthe Addreis, and, With
the Emperor, remained standing:. When the pa+
sage alluding to the Consort of the Emperor was
read a loud and prolonged cheer rang through thp
Hall, and was smilingly and graciously acknow-
ledged by the illustrious object of the compliment.
At the conclusion of the,Address the Recorder
advanced, with the 'usual obeisance; and placed a
copy of it in the hands of the Emperor, who,-after
a short pause, proceeded to read,in a firm and di
tinct voice, though with a slightly foreign accculd,
the following reply :
"llfy Lord Mayor,—After the cordial reception I
have experienced from the Queen, nothing could affect
me more deeply than the sentiments towards the Empress
and myself to which you, in) L, :rd Mayor, have given
expression on the part of the city of London ; for the
city of London represents the available_resueurees which
a world-wide
_commerce affords liOth for civilisation and
for war. Nattering as are your praises, I accept them,
because they are addressed much more to Franco than
to myself; they are addressed to a nation whose interests
are today everywhere identical with your own.—(loud
applause)--they are addressed to an army and navy
united to yours by an heroic companionship in danger
and in glory—(renewed applause)—they are addressed
to the policy of tho two Governments, which is based on
truth, on moderation, and on justice. For myself, I
have retained on the throne the sarne sentiments of sytn.
pithy and esteem for the English people that I professed
as an exile—(laud and prolonged cheering)—while I cn•
joyed here the hospitality of your Queen ; and if I have
acted in accordance with my convictions, it is that the
interest of the nation which has chosen me, no less than

that of universal civilisation, has made it a duty. Indeed
England and Franco arc naturally united on all the great
questiona"of politics and of human progress that agitate
the world. From the shores of the Atlantic to those of
the Mediterranean—from the Baltic to the Black Sea

—from the desire to abolish slavery, to our hopes
for the amelioration of all the cJuntries of Europe—l see
in the moral as in the political world for our two nations
but one course and one end. (Applause.) It is, then,
only by unworthy considerations and pitiful rivalries
that our union
_could be dissevered. If we follow the
dictates of common sense alone, we shall be sure of the
future. (Loud applause.) You are right in interpreting
my presence'ainong you as a fresh and convincing proof
of my energetic co-op ration in the prosecution of the
war, if we fail in obtaining an honourable peace. (Ap-
plause.) Should we so fail, although our difficulties may
be great, we may sureiy collet on a successful result ;
for not only are our *Niers and sailors of tried valour—
not only do our two ablintries possess within themselves
unrivalled resources, 4brik above all—and here lies their
superiority—it is becauff they are in the van of all gene-
rous and enlightened ideas. The eyes of all who suffer
instinctively turn to the West. Thus our two nations
are oven more powerful from the opinions they represent
than by the armies and fleets they have at their com-
mand. (Great applause.) lam deeply grateful to your
Queen for affording me this solemn opportunity of eic-
pres4ng to you my own sentiments and those of France,
of which lam the iaterpreter. I thank you in my own
name and in that of the Empress for the frank and
hearty cordiality with which you have received us. (Ap-
planse.) We shall take back with us to France the last-
ing impression made on minds thoroughly able to appre-
ciate it, of the imposing spectacle which England pre,
gents, where virtue on the throne directs the destinies of
a country under the empire of a liberty without danger
to its grandeur."
The moment the Emperor concluded his reply a
loud cheer was raised by those who were in a posi-
tion to hear its purport, which was taken up and
re-echoed by the occupants of the remoter parts of
the Hall, to whom the proceeding had been little
snore than dumb show.
The Lord Mayor then presented to the Em-
peror and Empress Mr. John Wood and Mr.
Alderman Wire, the mover and seconder of the
Address ; Mr. Deputy Harrison, the Chairman
of the Entertainment Committee ; Aldermen Sir
P. Laurie, Farebrother, Copeland, Wilson, Sir
C. Marshall, Humphery, Sir G. Carroll, Sir J.
Duke, M.P., Hunter, Sidney, Farncomb, Salo-
mons, Finnis, Carter, Sir R. W. Carden, and
Cubitt , Alderman and Sheriff Muggeridge, Alder-
men Kennedy and Rose, Mr. Sheriff Crosley,
Messrs. Barnard, Rathbone, Harker, Andertou,
and several other members of the Common
Council. _ _ _

The Emperor and Empress then descended from
the dais into the open space in front, where they
remained for some momenta iu conversation with
the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, to whom
they expressed their admiration of the decorations
of the Hall, and their gratification at the hearty
welcome they had received. At this time the
Duko of Cambridge quitted the place ho had pre-
viously occupied, and, advancing to the Emperor,
was greeted by him in the most cordial manner.
His Royal Highness then paid his respects to her
Imperial Majesty, who entered into animated con-
versation with him fur some minutes, the Emperor,
meanwhile, being engaged in conversation with
Count Walewski.
The members of the Entertainment Committee
then formed a double line down the avenue, and
the Emperor and Empress, preceded by the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and followed by the
Duko of Cambridge, the Cabinet Ministers, the
corps diplornatique, and others of the more distin-
guished guests, proceeded to the Council-chamber,
where a sumptuous dejcuncr had been provide].
The Emperor and Empress sat at the head of the
table, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress being
vis-a-vis. The Duke of Cambridge sat on the right
of the Emperor, and that side of the table was al-
most exclusively occupied by the members of the
Cabinet and their ladies. On the left of the Em-
press sat Count Walewski, the Countess Walewski,
the Austrian Ambassador, and the other members
of the diplomatic body.
In the course of the dejeuner the Lord Mayor
gave " The Health of the Queen," which was drunk
by the whole company standing. His Lordship af-
terwards proposed " The Health of the Emperor
and Empress of the French," which was received
with a similar demonstration of respect.
Before leaving the room the Emperor was for
some time in conversation with the Marquis of
Lansdowne ; and the Empress, when on the pint
of departure, recognising Lord Clarendon, entered
into conversation with his Lordship with great
vivacity.
Shortly before 4 o'clock a flourish of trumpets an-
nounced the departure of the illustrious visitors,
and, a procession having again been formed in the
same order as at their entrance, except that it was
now headed by the band of the Horse Guards (who
during the dejeuner had been posted in an adjoin-
ing room, where they had performed several
favourite airs), playing " Partant pour la Syrie,"
the Emperor and Empress passed through the Hall
to their carriages, amid the most warm anti enthu-
siastic demonstrations of respect and regard.
In the corridor, between the Hall and the Coun-
cil-chamber a number of valuable portraits of the
Napoleon family, lent for the occasion by Herr
Wetter, were arranged. They included portraits
of the Emperor Napoleon 1., Joseph Bonaparte,
King of Spain ; Jerome, King of Westphalia ;
Letitia, mother of the Emperor Napoleon 1., and
grandmother of the present Emperorl and Hor-
tense, consort of Louis Bonaparte, King of Hol-
land, and mother of the Emperor Napoleon 111.
In passing through the corridor these family like-
nesses naturally attracted the notice of the Empe-
ror, who paused before the portrait of his mother,
and, directing the attention of the Empress to it,
with
,muoh feeling exclaimed, " This is kind,
indeed ! "
After the departure of the Emperor and Empress
the general company partook of a sumptuous enter-
tainment, which was provided in the Council-
chamber, the Crypt, and several other apartments
in the Guildhall.
The following is the bill of fare at the dejeAner

This latter wine was of, peculiar interest, being part
of a cask supplied, at the enormous price of 600 t.

ThOr,M,liestiai, on their return from Guildhall,
received everywhere similar tokens of. respect and
cordiality to those which greeted them on their
way to the city.
