LIVERPOOL.

The Mayor of Liverpool entertained at dinner, at the
Town-hall, on Thursday evening last, a distinguished
party, including Sir James Duke, M.P., Lord Mayor of
London; the Hon. George Bancroft, Minister to St.
James's from the United States; the Hon. Sir Edward
Cust, William Brown, Esq., M.P., &c., Sir William
Warre, the Mayor of Manchester, Lieutenant-Colonel
Garrett, Lieutenant-Colonel French, Colonel Falconer,
Major Warre, Lieutenant-Colonel Nicoll. Captain Bluett,
Captain Mitchell, Major Mathias, the Rev. J. S. How-
son, the Rev. P. W. Brancker, Thomas Potter, James
Kemp, Joh❑ Rosson, R. V. Yates, E. J. Mozley, W. J.
Myers, Charles Spencer, C. Bushell, J. B. Lloyd, W. R.
Sandbach, town-clerk; J. A. Tinne, Edward Moon, J.
Shipley, F. Hamilton, Esqs., &c.
In the course of the evening, the MAYOR proposed Mr.
Bancroft's good health, and wishing him a prosperous
voyage to his native country.
The toast was drank with three times three.
The lion. Mr. Baticnorr rose to return thanks. The
words used by their respected Mayor were so kind, that
it added to the pain of the position which rendered it
necessary that he should say farewell. Three years ago,
when he landed in Liverpool, he had no sooner struck
his foot against the British soil than he was welcomed
by the gentlemen of Liverpool; and now, on his return
home, be was happy to say that everywhere he expe-
rienced the same kindness and hospitality. He found

that respect for America was deeply rooted in society.
and that the courtesies he experienced during his resi-
dence were not confined by considerations of sects
rianism or interest, for he encountered them in equa
force wherever he went.—(Cheers.) He met them in
their schools, their colleges, at all their institutions—at
the festive board, whether the occasion was to compli-
ment a Prime Minister or celebrate the distribution of
prizes at an agricultural show. He found society over-
flowing with regard for America, and in every mouth ;
prayers for her prosperity. He felt proud in being able
to say that, in his country, these regards were fully re-
ciprocated. He was sent here as a messenger of good-
will; and now, on returning to his native land, he was
bound to say that the present Administration entertain
exactly the same views with regard to Great Britain as
the Government he had the honour to represent.
—(Cheers.) How could it be otherwise ? Look at
your exports, and then look at your imports. There
is as much good on one side as the other. The
prosperity of both countries are identical; and the voice
that now weekly crosses the broad waters is a voice of
friendship.—(Cheers.) The day has gone by for any
but reciprocal good feeling. He knew that the pros-
perity of Liverpool should create in them a spirit of en-
terprise; and the enterprise of this great town bespeaks
your high position among all the nations of Europe.—
(Cheers.) Your prosperity appears not only in your
noble charitable institutions, your elevated literature and
perfect science, but is consecrated in the memories of
your great men—your Roscoes, and your living men.—
(Cheers.) These blend with your ability and enterprise;
and it is through the operation of commerce that you
have been led to foster those great principles of liberty
which give you so high a place in the great family of
man and the proud brotherhood of nations.—(Cheers.)
The principles exhibited from Penn, through Canning
and _reel, abound more and more, and will grow to ce-
ment the bonds, not only of material, but of the finer
interests of intelligenee.—(Cheers.)
Several other speeches were made, and the company
rose at half-past ten o'clock.—Abridged from Liverpool
Journal.
