Mr. Haub-, ssstsied by Messrs. Francis, Gray, Luckey,
J. Kittch, Hatton, aid Machin—was made with great
taste, and the pieces were admirably ex,cuted.
After the u -nal toasts from the chair, including
" Church and " The Queen Dowager,"
" Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, anti the
Royal Family," in the intervals of whisk `. Breathe
soft 3e Winds," and "Blessed be the home where love
makes his daelling," were given with exquisite skill by
the musical corps,
The MASTER gave, " The Army and Navy." a toast
which was suitably responded to by Colonel SIBTHORP.
The MASTER then proposed the health of the Princi-
pal of St. John's College, Oxford (Dr. Wynter), and the
two senior fellows of the College then present, the Rev.
W. H. Stoddart and the Rev. H. L. Mantel. He ap-
pealed to the result of the examination of this morning

least to an equality with other public schools.

this maik of approbation ; he bore his testimony to the
ability with which the masters of the school had per-
formed their duty, and he had no doubt that the boys
who woull in future be sent from Merchant Taylors'
School to St. John's College would do as much honour
to it as others had done before them.
The MASTER then rose and said, they had heard from
Dr. Wynter his opinion of the efficiency of the school,
and he would venture to say he bad not overrated the
high character of the masters. He bad opportunities
himself of appreciating their ability and perseverance,
and he proposed " The health of the Rev. Dr. Hessey,
the head master; the Rev. J. B. Deene, the Rev. W.
Blunt, the Rev. l. Russell, and the Rev. E. West."
Dr. IlEssEit returned thanks. It was a matter of
great satisfaction to him and his colleagues that the
state of the school had been found so satisfactory by
the Principal of St. John's. It reflected great credit
upon this city school that it had sent out seven hundred
boys connected with one of the principal colleges of
Oxford.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that public engagements
had prevented several individuals of rank from being
present on this occasion who had expres,ed their desire
and intention to join them. There were, however, se-
veral members of the House of Peers amongst their
guests, and he called upon those who heard him to ex-
press their high olpinion of that body of hereditary le-
gislators, who haul proved themselves able protectors of
the Crown against the encroachment* of the people, and
a barrier or protA ction to the people against the power
of the Crown. propost d " The health of the Mar-
quis of Westtnins,wr and the House of Peers."
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER, though speaking as
an individual peiet, could assure them that the heredi
tary branch of the Legislature telt the roponsibility cast
upon it, and that a,e liberties of the country might with-
ow. tear I,e entrus tall to the keeping of the peers. The
Noble Marquis con,Auded by t roposing " Ihe health of
the Matte: of the .3ternpany."
Mr. PIGEON, th.a master, in returning thanks adverted
to the retualks b: en sometimes made upon
the manner in wit ich the charitable trusts of this country
hat, been oiscf,ar geta, and expresseu tiis conviction that
they had been moat taiintully and religiously
Ilad this not been the case, in the course of
200, 300, or 500 years, the abuses would have been re-
vealeci.

The toasts of " 11:-.e Hero of Waterloo," and " Sir IL
Fuel," vv.re then • proposed from the chair, and re-
sponded to with in inch animation. In :.nnouneing the
las , the Chairman said, although they were not thero
to discus, the merit' Is of political questions, he might be
allowed to notice t, consummate ability, perseverance,
and eagi r desire to serve his country, which

trti
times di sti nguished Sir Robert Peel.
Upon the health ot- the Bishop of Tasmania being pro-
posed,
