highly prized by tlic! Corporation of London, and he
begged leave to associate with that name, the bar of Eng-
land.—( Cheers. )
Sir FREDERICK Pommox, in returning th;:nks, regretted
that the task hod not fallen to more worthy individuals,
for he really did not know how to express the extent of
his own feelings—far less those of others ; for when ho
looked around him he saw one barrister in a red coat

—( Great laughter—one of the gentlemen standing
up was dressed in a Deputy-Lieutenant's uniform,
on being noticed by the company, produced great merri-
ment) and another Learned Friend before him was
more entitled, from his grey hairs, to return thanks than
he was. —(" No, no," and cheering.) He felt it
to be a most distinguished honour to be noticed in such a
manner by the citizens of London. He had reason to bo
attached to the City of London, for it was by a foundation
school in that great city that he had received the elements
of his education, and by the means obtained an introduc-
tion to the University of Cambridge.—( Loud cheers.) It
was, therefore, with the most grateful sense of the high
obligation he was under to that city for his present station
in his profession that he now took the opportunity cf ad-
dressing the Chief Magistrate. He felt proud of belong-
ing to a profession with which everything patriotic and en-
lightened was connected, and be trusted that the bar would
continue to follow the example of the citizens of London,
by determining to perform their duties fearlessly.
The Loam) Maros proposed " The Magistrates of Lon-
don who had passed the Chair."
Sir C. S. Ilusran returned thanks, and alluded to the
pleasing prospect of the undiminished privileges of the Ci-
tilens.—( Loud cheers.)

The L.-,Ln ALYOR informed the company that he wag
that moment put in possession of a fact of no slight inte-
rest under existing circumstances. That day was the birth-
day of the Noble, Illustrious, and Gallant General the Duke
of Wellington. —( Immense cheering.) He saw that it was
quite unnecessary for him to use any words in introducing
such $ toast.

Many of the company rose, notwithstanding the rule laid
down by the Lord Mayor, and drank the toast with accla-
mations.

Lord DEN MAN said that nothing could be more fortu-
nate than the discovery which the Lord Mayor had made,
as nobody could be more deserving of the approbation bes-
towed than the illustrious person whose health had just been
drunk, and to whom he could not help acknowledging on
that occasion his own individual obligations.—t Loud
cheers.) Lord Denman then said he rose to propose the
health of the Lady of the entertainment, who had wel-
comed and treated that company with such grace and hos-
pitality.—( Loud cheering.)
The health of the Lady Mayoress was then drank in the
most enthusiastic manner.

The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and proposed the
House of Commons, the Magistrates of the City of London,
the Chairman of the East India Company, &c., all which
were received with the accustomed honours.

The dinner consisted of every delicacy afforded by the
season, and calculated to create and gratify the appetite.
The wines, which were produced by Mr. Robinson, the
Yeoman of the Cellar for the last twenty-eight years, were
of the very first quality, a circumstance not at all to be
wondered at, as the choice was entirely left to his own
judgment. Th• whole of the entertainment passed off with
great eclat.
