ROYAL TRIBUTE TO SIR MOSES
MONTLFIORE.

(From the Voice of Jacob.)
In once more congratulating our readers on the. happy
return to London of Sir Moses and Lady Montehoreand
suite (as notified in our last publication), we have the
high gratification to announce, that Sir Robert Peel, as
chief organ of her Majesty's Government, in recognition
of the approved loyalty of Sir Moses, and of that true
nobility of character which his last philanthropic mission
has so much enhanced in the world's esteem, has signi-
fied her Majesty's gracious pleasure to confer upon him
the highest titular rank which a Jew has yet enjoyed in
this country . and he is henceforward—Sir
hientefiore, Baronet. Moses

. There is another point of view from which this grace-
ful compliment of the retiring Ministry, to the worth of
a non-conformist in religious concerns, ought to be re-
garded. It is the moral effect to be produced in other
countries by this spectacle of a great statesman, whose
own acts have fixed the anxious gaze of the whole world,
selecting the period when his every movement is of uni-
versal interest, thus to proclaim, wherever the name and
influence of that great empire extend, that it is a loyal
Jew whom its " monarch delighteth to honour." Nayt

The members of the Club having taken their seats at the
table, the Pacha, punctually at half-past seven, passed from
the-drawing-room to the dinin7.room of the club; Sir Charles
Napier accompanied his Highness. The military band, as
the distinguished guests entered the room, struck up " The
Roast Beef of Old England."
The chair was occupied by Sir Charles Napier, upon whose
right sat the Pacha (with his interpreter), and next to him
Lord Palmerston. Amongst those present, in addition to the
Pacha and his suite, we observed Edit, Effendi, the Turkish
Charge d'Affaires • Viscount Palmerston, the Right Hon.
Richard Lalor Shell, Sir John Easthope, Mr. Mark Phillips,
M.P., Mr. T. S. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. W. Collins, M.P., Mr.
Williams, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., Mr. A. Hastie, M.P.,
Mr. T. Gisborne, M.P., Mr. J. Hume, M.P., Dr. Shaw, Sir
Howard Elphinstone, Bart., M.P., Sir William Molesworth,
Bart, M.P., Mr. M. Mitcalfe, M.P., Mr. J. Collett, M.P.,

Sir Percy Shelley, Mr. Shafto Adair, Mr. J. T. Leader, M.P.,
Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Sir James Carmichael, Mr. J. Parkes,
&c., &c. Mr. D. O'Connell had intended to dine with the
club on this occasion, but the honourable and learned gen-
tleman had been called out of town, which accounted for his
absence.
The band performed a variety of music during the ban-
quet; and on the cloth being removed a corps of profes-
sional vocalists enlivened the party by the singing of
glees, &c.
Upon the cloth being removed, the " Non Nobis" was
sung, when Sir Charles Napier rose to propose the first
toast, " The Queen," which was received with loud cheer-
ing, and drunk with the usual honours. " God save the
Queen."
The next toast was," Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
and the rest of the Royal Family."—( Three times three.)
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the
evening, the health of " Ibrahim Pacha, and prosperity
to Egypt."—(Loud cheers.) Their illustrious guest was
the son of one of the most remarkable men of
this age, one who might be characterised as "the great
Oriental Reformer."—(Cheers.) It had been his (Sir
Charles Napier's) fortune to have been engaged in active
hostilities, having their illustrious guest for an opponent. This
was not the time nor the place to advert to the policy in
which those hostilities had originated.—( Hear, hear.) The
cause which Ibrahim Pacha had to sustain may have been an
unjust or an impolitic one—he was only the instrument far
carrying it into effect.—(Hear, hear.) The Pacha of Egypt
had determined that Syria should be held in opposition to the
Sultan, and Ibrahim Pacha was deputed by his father to
contest the occupation. He was right to obey the instruc-
tions of his superior—(Hear, hear)—and the skill, perse-
vererance, and indomitable courage he displayed, while re-
flecting the highest honour upon him, showed how wisely the
selection had been made of a military chief to conduct these
operations. Looking to the past, then, it was only as a sol-
dier, and to the future, as the ruler of Egypt, that they had
to speak of Ibrahim Pacha.—(Hear, hear.) As a soldier, he
was one of the most gallant of men. He had himself led a
successful attack upon Acre with a gallantry unsurpassed in
the annals of personal bravery in ancient or modern times,
add had crowned a long and brilliant military career by the
victory of Koniab, an achievement which might take high
rank in modern military history.—(Hear.) But it was not
alone as a soldier that Ibrahim Pacha was distinguished.

(Cheers.) He (Sir C. Napier) felt much gratified that the first
public entertainment offered to Ibrahim Pacha in England—
he believed he might say in Europe—was offered to him by
the Reformers of this country.—(Bear.) Such testimony of
the good feeling of this country was due to Mehemet Ali
and his illustrious son ; for Englishmen should never forget
that during the course of those hostilities which had at-
tracted so much attention in 1840-41, our communications
with India were never for a single month interrupted.—
(Loud cheers.) Our Indian letters were permitted to pass
without the seal of a single one being so much as broken.—
(Hear, hear.) Such forbearance was honourable to the good
feeling of the Pacha of Egypt, and he was sure all classes of
Englishmen hailed with delight the opportunity of showing
how highly it was appreciated. After some further remarks,
the Honourable and Gallant Officer concluded by proposing
"The health of Ibrahim Pacha." ~
The toast was received with enthusiastic applause, which
