In reply to the toast of " The Earl of Eldon and the
House of Lords,"
The Earl of ELDON briefly returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " the health of tle
Bishop of London and the clergy of his diocese."
The Bishop of LoNDON had now been connected for 5:0
years, in one capacity or another, with the City of London.
His object, and that of the clergy in his diocese, had a?-
ways been to upeold morality and good order.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in a complimentary speech,
proposed the health of the Lord Mayor.—( Cheering. )
he LCRD MAYOR, in reply, observed that hospitality
was his chief duty and pleasure, and if anything could in-
crease the delight which he reaped from exercising it, it
was that of seeing at his board an illustrious member of the
Royal Family of Great Britain.—(Choers.)
The next toast was—" The Lord Bishop of Ely," for
which his Lordship briefly returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR had next to propose to them the
health of a Right Hon. Baronet, who had always supported
the rights and privileges of the City of London.--( Hear,
hear.) Ile had beets given to understand that that Right
Hon. BarOnct would most ardently and strenuously support
all the rights and privileges of the City of London.—
( Hear, hear ) He (the Lord Mayor) felt satisfied that
upon the present question, in which their privileges hail
been assailed in the most inclement manner, they should
have the support, not only of the Right Honourable
Baronet, but also of every honest man who loved order,
regularity, and tranquillity.—( Hear, hear.) The Right
Hon. Gentleman then concluded by giving the health of Sir
R. Peel.—(lmmense cheering from the gentlemen and
waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies.)
Sir R. PEEL said, that in the course of his public life,
he had oftentimes been placed in situations which had
brought liiin into intimate connection with the authorities
of the city of London, aed he looked back with great satis-
faction at the cordial good understanding which he had
always maintained with those in authority, and at the con-
stant cc-operation which he had received from them in
conducting the public service.—( Hear.) He shouid be
most ungrateful if he ever omitted an opportunity of men-
tioning his respect for the City of London; for in the course
of his-public life there had been many trying situations in
which he had received from the City of London acts of
kindness, and among others, one which entitled him to call
the present meeting by the endearing title of fellow-citi-
zens—( Hear)—and therefore to take a very deep interest
in all that concerned the welfare and prosperity of this great
City.—( Heah. ),The Lord• Mayor in the course of his speech
had referred to certain measures which were liow in pro-
gress for the improvement of the police of the metropolis.
—(Hear.) The Company would readily believe that be
felt a very deep interest, from previous circumstances, in
everything which had relation to the efficiency of the police.
—( Hear.) It would, however, be to him a source of
great satisfaction to find that any measure having that
object could be reconciled with a perfect respect for the
rights aed privileges of the City of London.—( Hear.)
tie rejoiced in the manifestations which they, as citi-
zens of London, had just made of their attachment to an-
cient rights, privileges, arid institutions; and he trustel
that be might take those manifestations as a proof that
they were willing to concede to others, who were equally
attached to ancient institutions of another kind, the possi-
bility that they might be so attached tq them, with an
earnest desire that every abuse should be remedied and
every grievance redressed.—e Hear.) He trusted that the
citizens of London would give credit to those who wished
to preserve other ancient institutions; that their wishes
arose from the purest motives, and that they were not in
the slightest degree . connected with any inclination to
maintain corruption-arid abuse. In conclusion he expressed
a hope that the rights of their great City would be long pre-
served undeh the superintendence of those municipal insti-
tutions.which were the best guardians of liberty, and the
!nest steady protectors of commercial enterprise.
The LORD MAYOR next proposed, in a few eulogistic
sentences, "the health of Sir Francis Burdett."—(Cheers.)
Sir F. BURDETr then addressed the company ; but, as
we were on the opposite side of the hall from that on which
he spoke, very little of what he said came to our ears.
We understood him to comnience with an attack upon the
foriegn policy of this country. On that, he observed, he
should like to say a little ; but what was there novel
that any man of common sense could say ? He was
sorry to have to allude to the present state of Ireland in
the presence of Lord Normanby, but if he did allude to it
at all, how could he allude to it without adverting to the
course which that Noble Marquis had followed ? He con-
tended that this Irish interest, which had such influence in
the House of Commons—(Loud cries of " Go 0r,," and
" Go home," from different sides)—ought to be diminished,
as it had already led to consequences most fatal to Eng.
land. He was proceeding to condemn at considerable
length the vacillating policy of the present Government,
if policy it could be called, when he was interrupted by
The Marquis of NORMANDY, who rose to address the
company amid cheers.
The LORD MAYOR was certain, that, upon a moment's
reflection, the Hon. Baronet would see how impossible it
was that be should Le permitted to proceed, in a convivial
party, in his present strain.—( Hear, hear.) It was quite
clear, that if the Hon. Baronet proceeded in a strain of in-
vective against her Majesty's Ministers, his Noble Friend
at his left hand (the Marquis of Normanby) must bare an
opportunity of replying to it. He regretted exceedingly _
that any observation which he had made had led to any- as
