[llRic-E SD,

honoured at being called upon to represent that body, and
trusted that the conduct of the House of Commons dur-
ing the present session had been such as to entitle it to
the confidence and gratitude of the country. Very
important questions had been submitted to them at the
commencement of the present session. They had been
asked whether they thought it wise •to persevere in the
financial and commercial policy which had for so many
years prevailed in that country, or whether they would
adopt a policy condemnatory of the existing system.
He trusted they would be of opinion that the House of
Commons had acted well and wisely for the interests of
the country, when, by an overwhelming majority, they
had decided that that policy liad been beneficial, and
that they would not sanction its reversal. (Hear, and
cheers.) But that great question had now been taken
out of the range of political discussion. It was no longer
a matter which divided political parties, although it was
a proof of how slowly nations learnt to prize the great
blessings they enjoyed, that it was only now what
was taught for years, and proved by argument, was
admitted to be one of the greatest sources of the wealth,
and prosperity, and comfort of the great body of the
people. (Hear.) There were other questions, which,
as they still remained subjects of discussion—as they
still remained questions of political heat and dispute—
that was not the place to refer to. One observation,
however, he should make, and that was, that if ever the
House of Commons or himself deserved well of his con-
stituents of the City of London, it was in their revision
of the taxation of the country, in searching out where it
acted unfairly and unequally, and in endeavouring to re-
lieve the people at large from the duties and
taxes which bore upon articles of the first necessity,
and which, according to these principles, ought not
properly to become objects of fiscal taxation. (Hear,
hear.) They had so endeavoured to arrange the re-
venue of the country that the public credit should
be steadily maintained ; they had taken care that in
repealing and revising taxes that they should provide a
revenue that the public creditor should be duly paid ;
that the great services of the country should be main-
tained in full efficiency, and that the revenue should be
fully equal to all its demands. (Cheers.) He hoped
they had thus performed the solemn duty that had been
imposed upon them. He agreed entirely with what his
noble friend at the head of the Government bad said
with regard to the blessings of peace, and it was one of
those blessings that the public credit should be kept
high, and that every class of the community should par-
take of the benefits of their improved commercial policy.
He begged to thank the company for the compliment
that had been paid to the House of Commons.
The next toast given from the chair was " The Duke
of Newcastle, and Prosperity to the Colonies of
England."
The Duke of NEWCASTLE returned thanks.

The Earl of ABERDEEN gave the health of the Lord
Mayor, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and
gave the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals.
Sir R. BETHELL returned thanks.

The LORD MAYOR confessed himself at fault in
having omitted from the list of toasts the name of a no-
bleman whose great talents and unswerving integrity
had won for him the respect of the nation. He begged
to propose to them " The Health of Viscount Palmer-
ston, the Home Secretary of the present Administra-
tion."

To judge from the rapturous applause with which the
noble viscount's name was received, this was par excel-
lence the toast of the evening. After the cheering had
subsided,

Lord PALMERSTON rose and said—l beg to return you
my sincere and cordial thanks for the very kind manner in
which you have proposed my name, and I beg also,
ladies and gentlemen, to thank you cordially for the flat-
tering manner in which you have been pleased to receive
it. It is, indeed, a very great satisfaction to me to find
that the manner in which I have endeavoured humbly to
perform the duties of that situation with which it has
been her Majesty's pleasure to entrust me, has met with
your, approbation, and I trust I may not be presumptuous
in concluding that that very generally expressed appro-
bation is shared by the coun try at large. (Cheers.) My pre-
sent office places me more than before in direct and fre-
quent communication with my countrymen at home,
and I have great satisfaction in thinking that if I should
in the smallest degree deserve the commendation which
the Lord Mayor has bestowed on me, my success
has been an easy task whenever the City of London
was concerned, for there could not be a more able
body of men than the municipal representatives of
that city, or one more able to co-operate with any
branch of the Government with which they might be
placed in connection. (Loud cheers.) We have
had recently a most remarkable instance of their

promptitude and clearsightedness, for, acting in the
true spirit of the British constitution—ever open to
progress and improvement, but building improvements
on the ancient and stable foundations—they have con-
curred in the appointment of a commission, not for the
purpose of overturning the institutions of this city, but
of inquiring whether the lapse of time, or the change of
circumstances, may have led to the expediency of sonic
slight modification or expansion. (Hear.) The readiness
with which the city of London has co-operated in the
formation of that commission has, I trust been met in a
proper spirit by the Government, by the selection of com-
missioners of commensurate ability and integrity. (Hear.)
My lord, I may perhaps be permitted, having been so
honoured, and having discharged the pleasing task
of acknowledging my obligation, to usurp for a moment
your lordships functions and, myself, to propose a
toast. (Hear, hear.) We have drunk the healths of
that great and distinguished body of which I have the
honour to be an unworthy member—l mean the House
of Commons—and, as in scientific formula, the whole in-
cludes its parts, it might be concluded that sufficient
honour had been done to each individual member, but
in this assembly I hope I may be allowed to make an
exception to the rule by proposing as a separate toast the
health of the metropolitan members. (Cheers.) The
circumstances and the place point out the fitness of the
toast, because that reform, to which the municipalities of
this country owe so many privileges, is, in a great mea-
sure, owing to the exertions of the metropolitan members.
And amongst those members there is one whom I should
wish to distinguish, one not more conspicuous for his
parliamentary duty, than he is for his personal elevation of
character, and, above all, for that chivalrous devotion
to the unfortunate and the exile, which is so well
known as to cause all who hear me to feel at once
that lam speaking of Lord Dudley Stuart. (Loud
cheers.) But, my lords and gentleman, I am not
wholly disinterested in proposing the toast just now, be-
cause I hope to obtain the assistance of the metropolitan
members in promoting those material improvements in
the City to which I attach a high importance. It is not
the institutions only of London that require mending ;
she must also mend her ways. (Cheers and laughter.)
The vast human tide that daily passes through them
must have wider means of transit. I remember some
years since, when the great sculptor Canova was here,
he was greatly struck with London. He admired
the continuous footways, the comfort of the sepa-
rate houses, the order, and the general security of
person and property. Having enumerated all these ad-
vantages, he concluded his panegyric in that strain of
hyperbole which is peculiar to southern climes, by say-
ing that if London had only a little snore light and pure
water, it would be a paradise. (Cheers and laughter.)
I would humbly then ask the assistance of the metropo-
litan members in putting an end to the nuisances which
prevent our attainment of these desiderati. A poet of
the last century apostrophised "The Thames, translucent
wave"—(laughter)—which he described as "Like a broad
mirror," but I fear that the influx of the sewers has
dimmed all that mirror's lustre. (Continued laughter.) I
therefore call on the metropolitan members to assist me in
restoring the Thames from a state of liquid mud to a
state of translucent water, so that the greatest commer-
cial city in the world may become also the most healthy
and the most creditable to the architectural taste of its
inhabitants. (Loud cheering.)
Lord DUDLEY STUART said that, in rising to acknow-
ledge the compliment which had just been paid to the
representatives of the metropolitan boroughs, he felt very
great difficulty in expressing his surprise that he should
be the subject of such warm eulogium from one who not

greatest pleasure in supporting a Government which
should make the preservation of that greatest- of all
possible blessings—peace—consistent with the honour-
able and manly observance of our engagements to our
allies. (Hear, hear.)
The Duke of ARGYLL briefly proposed " The Court of
Aldermen," and
Alderman FARNCOMBE returned thanks.
The FRENCH AMBASSADOR next proposed the health of
the Lady Mayoress. His Excellency spoke in French as
follows--Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honour to
originate a toast, which I am sure you will receive with
the same warmth and the same pleasure that I experi-
ence in proposing it. Words would be of no avail in
giving effect to the toast, and I feel that I have said all
I that is necessary, when I propose to you to drink to the
health of the Lady Mayoress. (Loud applause.)
The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the compli-
ment, and the ladies retired.
Two or three other toasts followed, after which the
Lord Mayor left the chair, and accompanied his guests
to the drawing room, where tea and coffee were served.
The distinguished company separated about half-past
11 o'clock.

THE AMERICAN MAILS.—On Saturday, shortly before
noon, the British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Niagara, Captain Leitch, sailed from her
moorings in the Mersey, for Boston and Halifax, with
the usual mails for the United States and British North
American possessions, 150 passengers, and a large cargo
of valuable merchandise on freight. Her mails were
carried out in charge of Lieut. Wavle, R.N., Admiralty
agent.

Ground, and terminated in favour of Blackheath, that
party winning in one innings, with ten runs to spare,
scoring in one innings 133 against Hampstead's two of

though the late heavy rains have been anything but
favourable to the condition of the ground.
