The Loan MAYOR then rose to propose the Army and
Navy, with which he associated the name of an honoured
General, Sir Frederick Wetherell, who had been 54 years
in the service, and had already reached the 84th yeas of his
age.—( Cheers. )
Sir FREDERICK. WETHERELL returned thinks for both
service; in an animated speech which was much applauded.
The Gallant General said that he had indeed served his
country for a long period-51 years—and he was still
ready to support the cause of freedom it necessity
required.—( Loud cheering.) He had seen a good
deal of service in his time—having fought at the
battle of Bunker's Hill.—(Great cheering. Here the
old General became much excited, and almost overpowered
by his emotions)—and he would still fight the battles of
I his country if the Queen commanded.—( Great cheering.)
Thank Gjid, the country could support itself, for the Army
and Navy were as brave as ever.—( Cheers.) Of late they
had had a sort of a new power risen up among them—
people who called themselves Chartists—( Laughter)--
fellows who would have things their own way, and who
boasted a great deal about what they would do.—( Hear.)
Why, they had lately paid Lim, and the service to which
he had the honour to belong, a very high compliment, for
they passed a resolution to the effect that they (the Char-
tists) would neither enter the Army nor Navy—( Laughter)
—and he was very glad to hear it, for neither service
would have them.—( Great cheering and laughter.)
These gentlemen were fine birds in fair weather, so far
as crowing went, but the Army and Navy knew
their duty, and would al ways serve their country
like true Britons.—( Loud cheering.) The veteran
General thanked the Lord Mayor and the company for
their kind attention, and sat down amid long-continued
applause.
The Loan MAYOR next proposed—" Tho Healths of the
Lord High Chancellor of England, the Master of the
Rolls, and the Vico Chancellor." He felt the highest sense
of obligation towards those exalted legal characters, for
the honour they had done him in making such a sacrifice
of their valuable time, duties, and engagements, to be
present at this entertainment.—(Cheers.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR declared that nothing could
give him more sincere pleasure, than the opportunity which
thus presented itself, of showing his high respect for the
ancient City of London, and of paying his personal respects
to the Chief Magistrate..—( Cheers. )
The LORD MAYOR said that the next toast which he
should propose was a name connected a considerable time
with the City of London, and for which the citizens enter-
tained the strongest feelings of respect and affection—
Lord Denman—(Cheers)--wi.h that name he should asso-
ciate the rest of her Majesty's Judges.
Lord DENMAN rose with the highest gratification to re-
turn thanks for his brethren and himself. Nothing, he as-
sured those around lihn, was more at heart with the Judges
than that they and the City of London should ever main.
tain and cherish the good understanding which had happily
so long existed between them, and occasioned in.
creased setisf4ction in the administration of justice.—
( Cheers.) The practice as to the entertainment of the
Judges in the Maneien-house used to be different
Irons what it now was, the day appointed baying been the
first Tuesday in the Term. The alteration which had been
made, he assured the Lord Mayor, met with the unanimous
approbation of the Judges.—( Cheers.) For himself, he
must say that he always, with the greatest pleasure, re-
turned to those scenes, which were dear to him from the
recollection of the great kindness which he had met
from the members of the Corporation, to whom he could
not wish better than that they should always maintain the
same spirit, liberality, and independence which he had se
long witnessed amongst them.—( Loud cheers.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed The Health of
the Lord Mayor. lie was happy to say that the
City had the advantage of being presided over by a
Magistrate, whose talents arid experience would enable him
to preserve the peace of that great city, under any circum-
stances whatever.—( Cheers.)
The Lours MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that he was
perfectly aware of the responsibility of the office which he
had the honour to fill, but he was convinced that if he dis-
charged the duties conscientiously and zealously he would
have justice for his motives, whatever might prove the event.
( Loud cheers.) And when he knew that in his endeavours
he would be most cordially supported by his brother Ma-
gistrates, he could not help declaring that he felt no appre-
hension as to the result.—( Cheers.) He felt peculiar
gratification at seeing so many of the Judges present on
such an occaskoe, which formed one of the delightful duties
of the Mayoralty after the fatigues of office,
The LORD MAIOR then proposed the health of Sir
Frederick Pollock, whose character and talents wcro most
