THE LATE lIITEIHAL VISIT TO LONDON.—It will be
recollected that on the above interesting occasion there
was no portion of the welcome accorded to our illustrious
visicors that was deemed more worthy of it than the mu-
nificent hospitality of the metropolitan municipality. To
the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, were entrusted the
arrangements of the banquet at the Guildhall, and a
pleasing proof of the Emperor's appreciation of the
manner in which they performed their useful task has
just been afforded. Messrs. Staples having respectfully
presented to their Imperial Majesties a case containing
specimens of the dessert service that had been specially
manufactured for the occasion, their appropriate gift has
lust been acknowledged in a very handsome letter from
M. de Dalnias, sous-chef du cabinet de l'empire, accom-
panied by two valuable jewelled breast pins, presented
en temoignage of the Emperor's recognition of the effici-
ency with which Messrs. Staples' portion of the -civic
ceremonial was carried out•
