ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MAN-

SION HOUSE TO THE JUDGES.

On Friday the Lord Mayor gave a very splendid en-
tertainment to the Judges at the Mansion House. There
were amongst the guests the Lord Chief Justice of the

Queen's Bench, the Justice of the Common Pleas,
Baron Park, Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Pat%ison, Mr.
Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Sergeant Wrang—
ham, Sergeant Gazelee, Sergeant Halcomb, Mr. Hum-
phrey, Mr. Bullock •; Aldermen Sir C. J. Hunter, Sir
Matthew Wood, Brown, Sir Peter Laurie, Farebrother,
Lucas, Sir John Cowan, Wilson, Thomas Wood, Sir

George Carroll, John Johnson, and Mag,nay ; Sheriffs
Gibbs and Farncomb ; William Charles Pearson, _ the

City Solicitor ; Mr. Potter, the Secondary ; Under-She-
riff James and Stone, &c., &c.

After the usual routine of loyal toasts,
The LORD MAYOR proposed the Bishop of Llandaff
and the Clnirch,r of which that Right Reverend Prelate
was so distinguished an ornament.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF returned thanks for the high
honour done him by the company, in connecting his
name with the ecclesiastical establishments of the coun-

try, of which he was an zealous, however unworthy and
inadequate supporter. Those who were engaged
in the direction of the affairs of the Church
had many difficulties to encounter in the prosecution
of their labours, but with the assistance of the civil ma-
gistracy, they entertained no doubt of being able to ac-
complish the great plan of the large extension of reli-
gious improvement.—(Cheers.) It might be expected
that he would make some allusion to the cathedral of St.
Paul, with which he was particularly connected. He
hoped that the good feeling of the public would protect
that great building from being subjected to desecration,
by being thrown open to all ; and that the spirit of the
party who were endeavouring to effect that object,
would always be successfully opposed. He trusted and
believed that the cause of religion would be greatly ad-
vanced by the vigorous efforts of the clergy who were so
strongly united in the endeavour to promote the great
interests of the community.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next proposed the " Lord Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench, and the Judges of Eng-
land." It was, said he, the high ancient privilege of the
Magistracy of the City of London to entertain her Ma-
jesty's Judges at the Mansion-house, and he felt deeply
the honour of seeing at his board so many characters of
marked distinction for learning and virtue. Perhaps one
of the most important duties and obligations upon a Chief
Magistrate was to show respect for the dignitaries of the
law of this great country.—(Applause.)
Lord DENMAN thanked the company Tor his brethren
and himself. It had been said by the Lord Mayor that
the Magistrates of London enjoyed the ancient privilege
of entertaining the Judges at his hospitable board. He
assured the Lord Mayor that the Judges considered it a
very high and delightful privilege to partake of the hos-
pitality
.of the Mansion-house, and to enjoy the intimacy
which invariably existed between them and the City
Magistracy. The opportunities which were afforded to
the Judges, by that sort of intercourse, of knowing the
state of public feeling and opinion, gave them advantages
which they could not otherwise obtain in consequence of
the nature of their labours, and served to lighten those
labours in no slight degree.—(Cheers.) The benefits
which favourable public opinion was calculated to produce
in the performance of the duties of public men were
considerable, and there could be no doubt as to the ef-
fect of the expression of that opinion upon high public
functionaries.—(Cheers.) From the manner in which
the company responded to the toast he and his
brethren did infer that they performed their duties to
the satisfaction of the public, without whose good opinion
and respect it would indeed be impossible for them to
perform their duties at all.
The LORD MAYOR next proposed the " Army and
Navy," stating that in the midst of their testimonies to
the merits of the Church and the Bench, they must not
forget the heroes who raised the nation's glory to so ex-
alted a pitch and good permanent security. to this great
empire. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF proposed the health of the
Lord Mayor, under whose hospitable roof this company
were assembled. He (the Bishop of Llandaff) had been
long connected with the City of London, and had long
experienced the friendship and hospitable kindness of
the several Chief Magistrates who had filled the chair
since his appointment.—(Hear, hear.) He was very
happy to bear testimony at that .moment to
the continuance in the present mayoralty .of the good
feeling which had so uninterruptedly existed, and to de-
clare that the present Chief Magistrate was peculiarly
entitled to the acknowledgments of the Company for
the courtesy, suavity of manner, and liberal hospitality
which had been so conspicuous on every occasion in
which his Lordship met his guests.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR declared that he felt great pride
at the manner in which his health had been proposed and
received. He would next propose the health of his bro-
ther Magistrates, the Aldermen who had passed the
Chair, and from whom he had received the most valu-
able assistance. Indeed, he might well take the oppor-
tunity of expressing his acknowledgments to them, as
without their aid he would have had to ,contend against
insurmountable difficulties.—(Cheers.)
Sir C. S. HUNTER returned thanks, and adverted in

laudatory terms to the firmness and manliness with
which the Lord Mayor acted in resisting the encroach-
ment on the privileges of the Court of Aldermen, in the
case of his election to fill the vacant gown in Portsoken
Ward.
Alderman J. JoirwsoN returned thanks for the Alder-
men below the chair who were yet to arrive at the ho-
nour of presiding over the hospitalities of the Mansion-
house, where he knew they would feel pride in following
the excellent example of so amiable a predecessor.
Sheriff Gums returned thanks for his coadjutor and
himself.
The company testified peculiar warmth of feeling i
when Sheriff Farncomb's name was mentioned, as it was
perfectly well understood amongst them that the friends
of that gentleman were most anxious to see him repre-
sent the ward of Bassishaw in the Court of Aldermen,
and considered his election as indisputable.
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing " The Par," took
occasion to observe, upon the spirit, zeal. laid independ-
ence with which the gentlemen of that profession per-
formed their arduous duties which devolved upon them.
Sergeant llALcomn, in returning thanks, said it was
usual with the profession to amp each other with
finding mares' nests. Ho and his Learned Friends
who were assembled around him had never amongst
all the mares' nests which they had been so
fortunate to find in their professional discoveries
so comfortable a mare's nest as the Mayor's nest, in
which they were at that moment sheltered and enter-
tained.—(Laughter and cheers.) It would be, added he,
the constant aim of the bar to defend the liberties and in-
terests of those for whom they acted with firmness, in-
tegrity, zeal, and independenee.—(Cheers.)
The entertainment was of the highest order, and on
this occasion was one of the few in which the distin-
guished members of the Bench are known to relax. The
Champagne, and Burgundy, and Claret, which were of
the first quality, passed round very briskly.
The company separated at half-past ten o'clock highly
delighted with the business of the evening.

ICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
The young woman, calling herself Emily St. Auge,
and various other names, remanded on Wednesday on a
charge of having stolen a snuff-box from Mr. Herbert,
the editor of the Farmer's Journal, was again brought
up, and it having been proved that Mrs. Herbert, the
wife of the prosecutor, had been in the habit of asking
her to dinner, and otherwise treating her with the great-
est familiarity, and as there was no likelihood of reco-
vering the box by detaining her, the Magistrate ordered
the young woman to be discharged.
