The LORD MAYOR very soon began to propose the
toasts, on account of the determination to have the hall
closed at twelve o'clock.

The health of the ~Queen was drunk amidst loud
cheering, but that of the Queen Dowager was received
with a great deal more enthusiasm by the Tories
present.

The LORD MA roa proposed the health of his Royal
Highness the Dulat of Cambridge and the rest of the
Royal Family.—(Great cheering.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE assured the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs Evans and Wheelton that he rose with the
highest gratification to express his sense of the very
great kindness done hiin and the rest of the Royal Fa-
mily, for whom he would answer, that they were deeply
sensible of the compliment paid to them by the autho-
rities and the inhabitants of the great City of London.
—(Cheers.) He hoped he should frequently enjoy the
happiness in which he participated at that moment, with
so nutherous and honourable a company.—(Great
cheering.)
The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The Navy and
Army," the members of which services would, if occa-
sion required their energies, act with as great power and
effect as ever.—(Cheers.)
Lord BLOOMFIELD returned thanks for the Army,
and declared that he could answer for that service, that
nothing gave them more pride than to participate in the
splendid scene of civic hospitality with so respectable a
company.—(Cheers.)
Captain DENMAN returned thanks for the Navy.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of the
late Lord Mayor. It gave him much pleasure to drink
the health of a brother Magistrate, who had filled the
office to wb;.ch he (the Lord Mayor) was just elevated,
with great honour to himself, and satisfaction to his
fellow-eitizens.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with
enthusiasm.

The late Lord MaYou. said that rising as he did at.
that moment with feelings of satisfaction and gratitude
for the very kind and approving manner in which the
company had been pleased to drink the toast so flatter-
ingly proposed to their notice, he could not but say that
he felt sentiments of regret, mingled with those of
pleasure. It was not possible for a public man to look
back upon the period, of a year, in which he bad ex-
perienced the kindest attentions from his fellow-citizens,
and the strongeFA support from his brother Magistrates
under heavy and responsible duties, without being sen-
sible of a mr,mentary feeling of sorrow that it was past; bu
any senti-ment of regret was outweighed by amore cheering
retrospect, for while he acknowledged that the kindness
and support he had received had been far greater than he
bad deserved, yet he was willing to believe that it en-
sured to him their judgment that he bad in some degree
discharged his duty.—(Applause.) It had been his de-
sire to surrender to his fellow-citizens the trust of their
rights and privileges unbroken and untarnished, as he
had received them. His best abilities and his most ac-
tive exertions bad been used to that end ; and in re-
tiring into more private life, he begged to assure those
around him that his interest and anxiety for the welfare
of his fellow-citizens would be in no degree abated, and
that, as one of the Magistracy of the City of London,
he should continue to use his best endeavours for the
public weal. He most cordially returned thanks for all
kindnesses and attentions during a very pleasant year
of office, and he could not form a better wish for his ex-
cellent friend, the present Chief Magistrate, than that
he might receive the like kindness and support, and
that his services might better deserve them.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " Prosperity to
the City of London and Trade."

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE proposed " The health of
the Lord Mayor," for whom he entertained a high re-
spect, and who, he was convinced, would fully justify
the high expectations entertained of him by his fellow-
citizens.—(Loud cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that he
was determined to uphold the privileges of his fellosl-
citizens, and that he hoped, with the kind and liberal
assistance of his brother Magistrates, to merit the high
terms in which his Royal Highness had done him the
honour to speak of him.—(Cheers.) His Lordship
then proposed " The Lord High Chancellor of Eng-
land," who had honoured him and the Sheriffs with his
company to dinner.—(Applause and some hisses.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had had the
benefit for many years of witnessing the great anniver-
sary of civic hospitality. He rejoiced to witness it, for
it bore manifeotation of great commercial prosperity,
which had in its train advantages which tended to im-
prove the great national institutions which elevated the
City of London to so high a rank. Those who might
have entertained a doubt upon the subject had only to
look around and be convinced.

The LORD MAYOR rose to propose the health of
her Majesty's Ministers—Lord Melbourne, Lord Pal-
merston, Lord Normanby, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. They had done him and the Sheriff's the
high honour of accopting their invitation to dine at the
Guildhall.—(Great confusion, composed of applause,
waving.of bandkerchiefs, and partial dissent.) Her Ma-
jesty had been pleased to raise them to the high situa-
tions in which they were placed, and he trusted that all
their measures would be found to promote the best in-
terests of the City of" London and the empire.—(Ap-
plause and hisses.)

As soon as the distinguished persons whose healths
were proposed rose to acknowledge the obligation, there
was a tumult in the hall.

Lord MELBOURNE said that if the gentlemen would
be only silent for one moment, he would perform the
duty which he had to execute for himself and his col-
leagues by thanking, in a few words, the Lord Mayor
and the Sheriffs, for the honour they had done them
in drinking their healths.--(lmmense conflict be-
tween the applauders and the groaners.) The Hall in
which they were assembled was very badly adapted to
political discussion, for, when the necessary silence ex-
isted, a voice could not pass to any distance in it. The
occasion was also badly adapted for political discussion,
for it was intended for matters of a very different cha-
racter--hospitality and the free and liberal interchange
of sentiments.—(Great uproar, waving of handkerchiefs,
applause, and some paltry groans.)
The LORD AlAwa rose to request that the discon-
tented would allow the Noble Lord to proceed. He
little thought that it would be necessary for him to rise
and declare that the Chief Magistrate and the Sheriffs
were not treated as they expected.—(Cheers.)
Lord MELBOURNE again addressed the company
amidst Tory hisses. The Lord Mayor had, he said,
alluded to the energies which were in the Navy and
Army ready to be called into play should any difficulties
occur. He felt that the present Administration had
similar energies at command, and would exercise them
should any emergency arise. Peace had its dangers and
theifoccur, ut.
most reliance on the spirit and steadiness, and good feel-
ing of the citizens of London..—(Cheers.)
Several other toasts were given, but without exciting
any f
eeetwelinglve o'c of a wocarm kind. The Company broke up
forlk.
