GRAND CIVIC BANQUET TO HER

MAJESTY'S MINISTERS.
On Saturday evening toe Right Hoe. the Lord lisyor
and the Lady Mayoress entertained, in the Egypttan-
hall of, the Mansion-house, her Majesty's Ministere, a
large number of the supporters of the Government in
both Houses, and a numerous assembly of Civic fune-
Vonaries, and others connected with the trade and com-
merce of the city of London. The various members of
the Government, together with the general company,
who were in full dress or official costume, were received
by the Lord Mayor and the representative of the Lady
Mayoress.
The company began to arrive shortly after six o'clock,
and among the earlier arrivals were—His Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, who was attended by Lord
William Powlett, the Earl and Countess of Derby, and
a number of the Foreign Ministers. At a quarter past
seven the company proceeded to the halt, where the
banquet was most splendidly laid out. Covers were laid
for three hundred.
Among the distinguished personages present were:—
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and Lord
William Powlett, the French Ambassador and the
Countess Walewski, the Earl and Countess of Derby,
the Earl of Lonsdale, Marquis and Marchioness of
Salisbury, Right Hon. Spencer Walpole and Mrs. Wal-
pole, Esrl and Countess of Malmesbury, the 'Hon. Sir
John and Lady l'akington, the Duke and Duchess of
Northumberland. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
Mrs. Disraeli, Right Hon. J. C. Herries, President of
the Board of Control, and Mrs. Henley, &e. &c.
The LonD Nevem having drank to his guests, and
greeted them " all with a hearty welcome" in " the loving
cup," which passed round with the usual formalities, the
grace, "For these and all thy mercies, Lord," was sung
by the professional ladies and gentlemen present.
The LORD MAYOR then rose to -prepuse "The
Queen." May it please your. Royal Highness, My Lords,
Ladies, and Gentlemen, the toast which Ihave the honour
to introduce this evening, as the first upon my list, is
one whiels—ksieslerays beenstseceptable-essavery company
;which has met, either in the city ef Lonelier, or in, any,
part of her Majesty's empire, or, indeed, in any part of
Europe., I am most happy, on an occasion like this,
'surrounded as I am by a most distinguished company, to
have the honour and gratification of proposing to your
consideration . The Health of her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty the Queen."
The toast was drank with all the honours, and was
followed by the National Anthem.
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the second toast,
said—lt is now my pleasure to propose to you the next
toast, which refers to a person who has long held a most
exalted position in these realms, and whose character it
is unnecessary for me to allude to, because he is well
known throughout the empire, and in every part of
Europe. This evening I have the gratification of being
surrounded by a most distinguished company, and it
must be as gratifying to them as to myself to have the
opportunity of congratulating the city of London on hay-
ing the honour of entertaining within its walls an illus-
trious personage who forms part of that distinguished
family which I have just alluded to.--(Cheers.) I con-
sider it a proud day to myself to be permitted to express
in the best terms I am able my congratulations to the
meal personage who has this day honoured us with his
presence, and who has thus complimented the city of
London, with which he has been for so many years con-
nected. That illustrious person is connected with two
of the great corporations of this city, the prime wardens
of which I have the honour to see before me, land I con-
gratulate him further on being descended from a prince
whom we all revere and honour. I ask you then to join
me in drinking the " Healths of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the remain-
ing branches of the Royal Family, including our illustri-
ous guest, the Duke of Cambridge."
The health was drank amid loud cheering.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who responded to the
toast, said—my Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen, I
certainly had hoped that it would not have been neces-
sary for me to have addressed you at all, because I feel
that, in the presence of so many who surround me,
whose remarks you will be much mote gratified to listen
to, anything I should say 'to occupy your time would
be very unnecessary. .At the same time, I would be ex-
tremely grieved to be wanting in respect to your Lord-
ship and the company if I neglected to express to you
the sentiments I entertained towards the Lord Mayor of
this great city for the compliment he has paid me, and
the manner in which he has referred to me. I feel ex-
tremely flattered that he has done mn the honour to in-
vite me on an occasion such as this. I feel flattered, be-
cause I see around me members of her Majesty's Go-
vernment and many distinguished foreigners who grace
your Lordship's table. lam myself a soldier, and as
such I trust and believe that I shall be as willing and
ready as anybody in this hall to do my duty both to
my Sovereign and my country when the occasion may
require.—(Cheers.) At the Pause time I feel fully coca
dent, and you will believe me when I say that it affords
me a great , deal more gratifleation to see the
many distinguished foreigners who are present meeting
together in amity and friendship and with that cordial
feeling which I trust will ever prevail, and which is of
the greatest importance for the prosperity of the world
and of this great city in which we are now assembled.—
(Applause.) I trust that that amicable and satisfactory
state of things will long continue, and I have only to
assure your Lordship that it affords me, as one of your
subjects in this city—(Cheers)—.he greatest satiaac-
don to join with you in doing honour to those distin-
guished foreigners whom I see at this table. You have
alluded to my being a member of two great corporations
in the city of London—that is an honour I highly prize;
tend I see before me the prime-warden of one of those
distinguished companies. lam delighted to act as one
of his subordinates, and shall be-happy to attend him on
all occasions; and to assure you that lam extremely
grateful for the honour you have done me in drinking
my health, and permitting me to be present on such an
occasion.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Navy and Army,"
coupling with the toast " The healths of the Duke of
Northumberland and Lord Comberasere."
In reply to the toast, which was warmly responded to,
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said—l have the
honour to return thanks in the name of the navy, and
I feel the honour still greater to have my name coupled
with that of the Noble Lord who is connected with the
other branch of the service. Whatever service the
navy may be required to perform it will always per-
form with zeal and energy.—(Cheers.) Since we last
met in this hospitable hall, the Arctic expedition, fitted
out by, this country, has departed from our shores under
the most favourable auspices, and with the most fervent
wishes for its success, not only of this but of the most
distant countries. This country can never forget the
mancer in which the United Slates fitted out an expe-
dition to assist in the search for Sir John Franklin,
and I must leave it to my excellent friend the American
Minister to express to the people of that country of
which he is so worthy a representative the sentiment
which we all felt in this metropolis and throughout the
country at the generous exertions they then rendered?
—(Much cheering.) But this is not all, Wo have on
the part of Franco in that expedition a gallant young
French officer, who is willing to participate in the fa-
tigues and the dangers.—(Cheers.) With such feelinge
of sympathy, with such demonstration of good will, wo
may hope that this friendship will continue, and that v e
may enjoy a long-protracted Face.—(Cheers.) But there
is another and more painful subject to bring before you
the melancholy loss of the Birkenhead steamer, where

was shown the -manly and characteristic conduct of our
officers and men.—(Loud cheers.) There the officers,
the soldiers, and the sailors wore distinguished alike for
their discipline and their courage. They first secured
the women and the children in the boats iu safety, and
then, with the most perfect order and regularity, exerted
themselves to the last. We can. well admire the beauti-
ful discipline, the undaunted courage, and the self•
sacrifice, and the absence of any selfish feeling through-
out this perilous time.—(Cheers.) In every well-disci-
plined ship, as in every well-ordered regiment, in this
country—and we are only reminded by them of what
occurs in the hour of danger, and of what is said
on the. day of battle—every mn behaved like a
hero, on whom the dignity and hohonour of his country
deeended.—(Cheers.)
Lord COMBERMERE Said —I have the honour to re-
spond to the toast that has been given on the part of the
army. I regret that it has not devolved upon some onee
more fit to do justice to it, particularly in the presenc
of so many great orators and able statesmen. The army,
my Lord, will ever be proud and feel honoured by the
approbation of the first magistrate and the loyal citizens
of this great city, and they will continue zealously to
aid in the support of the civil power and the instittitions
you preside over, and when they are called upon foreign
service they will maintain that high character for bravery
for which the British army has been ever distinguished.
—(Cheers.) It may not he unnecessary in these peace-
ful times to advert to the possibility of war, but if that
misfortune should occur I should most humbly recom-
mend to the good citizens of London to rely more upon
the sword and bayonets of our troops than upon the in-
fatuations and resolutions of the Peace Society.—(Cheers.)
duty to offer
The LOAD MAYOR next rose to propose "The health
of the Right Honourable Earl Derby. and her Majesty's
Ministers," and in doing so slid---It is my
for your acceptance the health of the Noble Earl on
smy
right, who has, with his Right Honourable coeague in
cffice, honoured the city of London with his company
this day.—(Cheers ) Her Most Gracious Mejesty has
recently seen it right to call to her councils the Noble
Earl and his friends to administer the affairs of this
great empire, and whilst, therefore, it is my pleasure to
welconio the Noble Earl, I trust that this country will
exercise towards them that kindness, sympathy, and sui,-
port which they are certain to receive at the hands el a
people. In this
grateful, and intelligent, and a thankful
hall, on all occasions, it has been our duty and our de-
light to welcome all who youcom hi
witn our liearing, and I
am sure I need not say that will all join me in
giving the health of the Noble Earl and his Right Ho-
Most Gracions
Ito-
nourablo colleagues in the high position in whieh they
have beeri meat recently placed by her
Majesty, and I may express a wish on the part of this

who have placed them in that high station, and by
y t °
whom, I doubt nut, they will 'oe sustained and supported.
