" Non nobis" was sung on the removal of the
cloth.

The LORD MAYOR then gave, "The Health of her
Majesty Queen Victoria," which was responded to in
a right loyal spirit. The National .Anthem was then
sung.
The next toasts were—" The Queen Dowager,"
" His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince
of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." After
the latter toast, a German glee, for four voices, was
sung, the music by the great, the ever-to-be lamented,
the mighty Carl M. Von Weber, the English trans-
lation commencing with the words, " What glances so
bright in the morning sun, &c.
The next toast was that of " The Army and
Navy," which was responded to by Sir Jas. Lush-
ington, C. 8., after which followed another German
glee, for four voices, commencing with these words :
" True sword, thy dark blade gleaming,
And bright as sunbeam seeming;
Sword of the brave and free,
Bright sword of liberty!
Hurrah !"
This composition is, we believe, little known in Eng-
land, but it bears the strongest evidence of the genius
of the immortal composer.
Mr. Sheriff CUMIT then proposed "her Majesty's
Ministers"—a toast which he felt assured must com-
mand attention. This was not, nor did he wish to
make it, the arena of politics, but those whom he ad-
dressed were citizens of London, or, at all events,
with some exceptions they were—(Cheers)—but they
must all be interested in the maintenance of the peace
of the world.—(Cheers.) He thought it must be the
unanimous wish of those whom he saw assembled on
this occasion—and among whom would be found men
of every possible shade of political opinion in this
mighty empire—to the utmost extent cf the ability
which they possessed to preserve the peace of the
world, and to cause thereby the prosperity of this
great empire. Such were the wishes of her Majesty's
'government, and whilst they were actuated by that
feeling they would, he was sure, have the support of
every individual in England.—(Hear.) He assured the
company present that they would have been honoured
with the presence of her Majesty's Ministers, but for
the fact of the season at which those meetings took
place, a season which presented to those who were in
office a short period for relaxation and leisure, in
order to recruit those energies which were so much
drawn upon and exercised during the Parliamentary
session. They were that day honoured by the pre-
sence of her. Majesty's Solicitor-General, and he would
conclude by proposing " ['he Health of her Majesty's
Ministers and her Majesty's Solicitor-General, Sir
James Dundas."

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL returned thanks, and
said that although a very subordinate member of her
Majesty's Government, he rose to return thanks to
his Lordship and the goodly company he beheld be-
fore him for the honour which had been done to the
Government to which he had the honour to belong.
—(Cheers.) In their name and his own he ten-
dered to that honourable company his heartiest
thanks—aye, the sincerest thanks which could be ut-
tered from the lips of man. In thus returning his
sincere thanks on the part of the Government and
himself, he begged that those whom he had the
honour to address would not imagine for one moment
that he meant to, or that his object was to, mingle
politics with the splendid hospitality of which he was
then partaking. He had risen to say—he had risen
to state the fact—that the first Minister of the Crown
had been elected by the citizens of London as their
representative in Parliament. As far he could do so,
he would venture to say, that the great desire of her
Majesty's present Government was to preserve tID.
peace of the world, and to maintain inviolate the in-
terests equally of England, of Ireland, and of Scot•
land—interests which he trusted, under the blessing
of God Almighty, would Dever be severed in their
time or in the time of any man. He was quite sure
that he had little more to do than to return thanks.
The company would excuse him if he had spoken from
his heart.—(Cheers.) There was no man, whether

Mr. Sheriff HILL said that as his excellent friend
had suggested that each sherilt' should speak for
himself, he availed himself of the opportunity thus
afforded him to return his warmest thanks to
those kind friends by whose exertions he had
been placed in the proud situation which he now
filled. On being selected to the office of she-
riff, he had immediately set about ascertaining
what were the duties of his office. On consulting
the ancient chronicles, he found that there were two
qualifications required of him who aspired to the
office—first, that he should be a man of valour ; and,
secondly, that he should be a man of discretion.
Now, with reference to the first qualification, he must
be permitted to say that we lived now in " piping
times of peace ;" therefore, the first qualification
which was required, vanished.—(Laughter.) The
next qualification required was, as he had before ob-
served, " discretion. He was going to.show that he
line w how to exercise this by making a short--a very
short speech. He must, however, remark that his
election by his over-kind friends and fellow-citizens
illustrated the fact, practically, that it was not neces-
sary, in order to advance a man's position iu life, that
he should enter into the interminable
and harassing
turmoil of politics, parochial or general, to obtain the
suffrages of his fellow-citizens. 'ln proof of this, his
kind—his over-kind friends—had taken him from his
comparative privity and obscurity, and tad placed
him in a proud position in which he coubi only hope
that his conduct would be such as to merit their
generous aid. He looked to the motto of .the City of
London, "Domine Dirige Nos"--a motto which he
thought ought to bear a free translation, and which
ought to be interpreted thus : " Here no worthy
citizen is neglected.' For himself he could only boast
of honesty of intention, and he cordially thanked the
company for the Manner in which they bad drunk
his health.

Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said they were on this occa-
sion honoured by the presence of two of the Learned
Judges of the land.—(Cheers.) He need not say
how much our happy country was indebted to those
who administered the laws. By the constitution the
Judges were deprived of political power; but he need
not say one word as to the exemplary manner in
which the Judges of the realm uniformly conducted
themselves in the situations which they held. The
Hon. Gentleman, after passing a high eulogium
on
the Bench, concluded by proposing
"The Healths
of the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Baron Platt, and
the rest of her Majesty's Judges."—(The toast was
received with great applause.)
The Lord Chief Baron POLLOCK returned thanks
for the mention of his name in connexion with that
of his brother Platt, and his other brother Judges,
and equally so for the terms of commendation with
which the toast was accompanied. The greatest re-
ward which public men could receive was the appro-
bation and the confidence of their fellow-citizens;
and in deserving that approbation, and in possess-
ing that confidence, they were abundantly repaid for
all the anxieties and toils which they underwent.
The Judges in the common law courts were assisted
by the merchants of England in the metropolis; in
the country they were assisted by the gentlemen of
the country in the administration of the law; and he
thought he might venture to say that as tong as our
juries were distinguished by the same integrity and
intelligence, there could be no doubt that the admi-
nistration of justice must continue to be such as to
justify the confidence of the country, and to merit
the high character which it had obtained.
Mr. Sheriff HILL proposed "The Health of the
Lord Mayor Elect."
Mr. Alderman HOOPER returned thanks, but his
observations were quite inaudible.
Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said they were honoured upon
of the United States of America, Mr. Bancroft—
(Cheers)—and propose that lion.

The Hon. Gentle-
man commenced by saying that since he had been in
this country he had never been allowed to consider
himself a stranger—(Cheers)—and assuredly on that
night did he feel himself least of all a stranger. The
cordial and kind manner in which the company had
received the allusions made to his country by the
worthy Sheriff only showed that the ancient affections
still
for the United Statesprevailed.—(Loud
cheers.) He had on his right, in the person .of
the newly-elected Sheriff (Cubitt) the Hon. Member
for Andover, and that town reminded him of his own
home—of one of the beautiful inland villages of the
United States bearing the sam! name. On his left
he had been invited to take a friendly glass with the
Hon. Member for Boston. He was himself from
Boston, in America.—(Cheers.) He had not yet
seen Boston, in Lincolnshire; but he !Tiust say that
it must be a very handsome town if it eclipsed the
town of the same -name in New England. When he
saw that Hon. Gentleman surrounded as he was---
when he found that he enjoyed the confidence of his
fellow-citizens—he could not but think that perhaps
the Hon. Member for Boston might still be Lord
Mayor of London. He came to the City of London,
and he was proud of being there. lie sauntered
