Bishop of Calcutta, &s.
The LORD MAYOR rose and said, that in the loyal and
ancient city of London, and in the hall in which he had
the honour and happiness to see the present company
assembled, he was confident he should find a cheerful re-
sponse to the toast he begged to propose, that of " Long life,
health, and happiness to her Most Gracious Majesty the
Queen."
The toast was drunk with all the honours, and was fol-
lowed by the military band, by which the orchestra was
occupied.
The LORD MAYOR said that the next toast he had to
submit was that of an illustrious lady, the widow of his late
Majesty William IV., who in the station she now filled
had by her charity, her amiability, and kindness of heart,
insured to herself the good will and affection of all classes
of the community. He gave, "The health of the Queen
Dowager."
The next toast was that of "His Royal Highness Prince
Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal
Family."
The LORD MAYOR next proposed, in appropriate terms,
the toast of " The Established Church," and coupled it with
that of the "Bishop of St. David's," to whom the corporation
were so much indebted for the excellent sermon recently
preached by his Lordship to the governors of Christ's Hos-
pital, and that of the Bishop of Calcutta, whose labours in a
distant clime had been as successful as they had been
laborious.
The Bishop of ST. DAvIII'S, in acknowledging the com-
pliment paid to himself, bore testimony to the support which
the Church had always received from the great and important
City of London.
The Bishop of CAecirerA said he could not remain silent
after the honourable mention which had been made of his
name, and could not avoid expressing a hope that now that
his diocese was extended to the banks of the Sutlej, it would
be subdivided, and by that means give increased assistance
to the social and moral improvement of the vast population
of India.—(Cheers.)
The next toast proposed by the LORD MAYOR was that of
" The Army and Navy," which was received by the company
with every manifestation of satisfaction, and acknowledged
in elegant terms by Lord Howden in behalf of the army, and
by Admiral Sir George Cockburn in behalf of the naval ser-
vice of the country.
The LORD MAYOR then rose, and said that it was a high
distinction which belonged to him as Chief Magistrate, that
he was honoured with the presence on this occasion, of her
Majesty's Ministers. That honour was gratifying to him in
the extreme, because he perfectly well knew that the high
and important duties which devolved upon them as Ministers
of the Crown were such as to enable these distinguished in-
dividuals to spare but a few hours from their official duties.
Hence it was that their presence was the more Onstaliying to
him. He made no allusion to politics, because hafelt
.that
that was neither the time nor the place for their diacuse'vn,
and although he was aware that the conc:uct of the Rtht
Hon. Baronet, who was at the head of the Government,
would be approved by those who were assembled in the hall,
he would not press it upon their attention.—(Cheers.) He
was sure they would join in the sentiment he had to propose,
" The health of her Majesty's Ministers, and long life and
happiness to Sir Robert Peel."
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.
Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and spoke as follows :—My Lord
Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, it is my duty, on my own
part and that of my colleagues in the service of her Majeity,
to return you our terateful acknowledgements for the honour
you have been pleased just now to confer upon us. We are
deeply sensible of the value which justly attaches to the pos-
session of the confidence and favourable opinion of the City
of London. We well know that the merchants and residents
of the City of London, from their vicinity to the seat of Go-
vernment, and from their ready access to the beat intelli-
gence—from their wealth, their high character, and their-re-
spectability— are perhaps better qualified that any other por-
tion of her Majesty's subjects justly to estimate the motives
of public men, and to appreciate the results of their po-
licy.(Applause. ) We are, therefore, most anxious to
deserve and to possess the good opinion of this great city,
and we consider it to be no sacrifice, but on the other hand,
we rejoice in the opportunity of marking our respect for
this great community, by attending here on the summons of
the Chief Magistrate of the City of London.—(Applause.)
The Lord Mayor has very justly observed, that this is not the
place and this is not the occasion upon which to introduce
any controverted topics of political policy; but I trust I may,
without exaggeration or arrogance, state that it has been the
earnest desire of her Majesty's servants, during the period
they have been honoured with her Majesty's confidence, to
promote to the utmost of their power the comfort, welfare,
happiness, and prosperity of all classes of her Majesty's sub-
jects.—(Great applause.) I trust that I may, without arro-
gance or exaggeration, state that during the period we have
held power, the lustre of the British arms has not been tar-
nished—that peace at home has been preserved without any
harsh exercise of authority, or any undue enforcement of the
law—and that peace abroad has been maintained without the
sacrifice of any British interest, and without the compromise
of the national honour.--(Great applause.) These things we
have done, and I trust they have entitled us to the approba-
tion of the citizens of London.—(Great applause.) What-
ever may be the difference of opinion which may prevail in this
room on the measures of public policy adopted by the Govern-
ment, there is one point upon which I am sure we shall all be
unanimous. We all desire to mark our respect to the City
of London and its Chief Magistrate; and I am sure you will
all receive with satisfaction and drink with enthusiasm the
toast which I shall now propose—that of "The Health of the
Lord Mayor, and Prosperity to the City of London."
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the high and dis-
tinguished honour conferred upon him by the First Minister
of the Crown, and declared his determination to maintain
and preserve the rights and privileges of his fellow-citizens.
His Lordship proposed as the next toast, "The House of
Lords,". and coupled with it the health of his Grace the
Duke of Cleveland.
The Duke of CLEVELAND, in returning thanks, said he
was most unexpectedly called upon to answer for himself,
and the branch of the Legislature of which he was a mem-
ber. lie felt duly sensible of the honour conferred upon that
body, and felt confident that they, not an unimportant
branch of the Constitution, had rendered already essential
services to the country. Similar occasions for such services
might again arise, and he would say that, while the House
of Lords would continue to be the protecters and upholders
of the monarchy, they would still evince, as they ever had,

The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and the Lady Mayoress,
accompanied by the rest of the ladies, retired to the drawing-
room, where a rich musical treat was prepared for their en-
tertainment.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed "The health of Sir James

Lord Graham and the House of Commons," a toast which was re-
ceived and drank with all the honours.
Sir J.sarEs GRamesz said that in. the presence of so many

tion and their ability, were so much better qualified to return
thanks than himself, he was painfully, conscious of his own

Sir ROBERT PEEL then rose and addressed the
pany in the following terms :—The Lord Mayor has COM-

circumstances, that toast would be acceptable to yourfaenf
ings—(flear, hear). It would be acceptable to your feeling:
on account of the high personal character of the Kings
of the French—on account of the friendly relations which
have so long subsisted between this country and France, andic
the maintenance of which uninterrupted is of such import-
en'ea'to the pogo and welfare of garopee—and it must be ecu-

in which the French Monarch line greciousl,7 received the

representatives of this important city, and expressed his
cordial satisfaction in receiving from them a tribute of their
esteem and respect.—(Hear, hear.) But events have recently
occurred which I am sure will make you more than ordi-
narily anxious to join in the toast.—(Loud applause.) It is
important that we should show that the cry of indignation
raised in France at the base, cowardly, and infamous
attempt at assassination should be re-echoed on the banks
of the Thames.—(Loud cheers.) It has pleased Almighty
God to frustrate the rtpeated attempts which have been made
to assassinate that great Sovereign, and paramount good has

and virtue, has thrown a lustre upon the exalted positios,

between this country and France, as that while it endures

throughout the world, for the advancement of civilisation,
and for the promotion of the social interests of all classes of
this great community. I propose "Health and long life to
the King of the French."—(Loud cheers enthusiastically
reiterated.)
The toasts which followed in succession from the chair
were those of " The Judges," (responded to by Chief Justice
Tindal), the " Bar" (acknowleded by the Attorney-
General), the " Aldermen, the Recorder, and the Shepflis ;"
after which the company retired to join the ladies in the
drawing-room.

The —distinguished visitors to the Lord and Lady Mayoress
did not separate until a late hour. _ _

We muit not neglect to mention that Mr. Harker officiated
with his usual skill and ability as toast-master, and most
effectively introduced the " loving cup," at the opening of the
festivities.

BLACKWALL RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the directors and proprietors
of this railway was held at twelve o'clock yesterday, at the
London Tavern, for confirming the draft of a Bill for widen-
ing the line rom Stepney to Fenchurch-street, and for
amending the Acts relating to the railway, J. A. Daniell,
Esq., in the chair. A considerable number of proprietors
were present.

The SECRETARY read the Bill for widening the line, from
which it appeared that a capital of 240,0001. was required,
of which 60,0001. is to be raised by new shares, and the re-
mainder by loan.
A SHAREHOLDER considered that it was quite unnecessary
to widen the line, as the traffic was dimishing instead of in-
creasing. At the present time they were losing about 1,0001.
a month. He moved as an amendment, that the project be
deferred until the increased traffic on the line rendered it
necessary.

The amendment having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN defended the directors, who were large
proprietors themselves, from any desire to widen the line, if
totally unnecessary. There could be no question that a
'great accession of traffic would take place if the line was
widened. Besides, they were simply asked to confirm a re-
solution passed at a previous meeting. It they did not
adopt this plan now, they would perhaps not have another
opportunity.
Dr. Bownmo, M.P., also defended the directors, and in
doing so drew attention to the fact that the line was barely
sufficient to accommodate their present traffic. How then
could they accommodate the increase which would take
place when the junctions and extensions which they were
empowered to make were carried out ?

Mr. LEA considered that they ought not to raise any addi-
tional money by mortgage until they had completed the line
to the Eastern Counties.—(Hear.)
Mr. CRAWLEY was a opinion that the directors had made
out a good case for widening the line. lie wished to know
whatarrangement had been made with respect to the stations
if the project was carried out.
_

The CHAIRMAN said any alterations which would be ren-
dered necessary were included in the estimates. After ob-
taining the consent of Parliament to the Bill a meeting of
the proprietors would be called, in order to obtain their sanc-
tion to its construction. At the present moment the direc-
tors had no intention of calling on the proprietors to contri-
bute money towards the object which the meeting had been-
called to confirm. Independent of the traffic which they
could not fail to obtain from the Eastern Counties, they con-
fidently anticipated a great increase of traffic from Bow and
the neighbourhood of Stratford. •

The imendment having been withdrawn, at the request of
the proprietors, a motion, confirming the one passed at a pre -
vious meeting, for widening the line, was unanimously
agreed to, and the meeting separated.

the three weeks afterwards, when, by their own conduct, they
had precladed themselves from this benefit.
In reply to an inquiry, Mr. NEALE said lie believed that
there was but little difference between the two deeds alluded
to, though he could not recollect precisely their terms; but
still he could say, from recollection, that he had been obliged
to hunt through them both.
Mr. Di:Full/is was about to reply to Mr. Neale's remark

but Mr. Deflinne persevered, and proceeded to read a letter,
requesting his attendance in London to prevent amalgams- i
tion with the companies alluded to. The letter ascribed 1
great blame to Mr. Neale; it was dated Carlton Club, and
signed 11. P. Gibbs.
The whole of this affair seemed to be disapproved of by
the bulk of the meeting, and Mr. Neale, after requesting the
note, warned Mr. Deflinne to retain the note, and to produce
it on a future day.
The resolution for the adjournment was then put, when
Mr. FIELD begged to know whether in the course of his
investigation of the accounts Mr. Neale discovered any rea-
son for the directors dissolving the Company, to which that
gentlemen replied that it depended upon whether the Com-
pany would put up with the losses already incurred.--(Loud
cries of " Dissolve, dissolve.")
Dir. CARLISLE said he was quite ready to take the money
which he could obtain from the directors, and lie repudiated
any responsibility on account of the adjourned meeting.
Air. FIELD then inquired whether it was Mr. Neale's legal
opinion that the whole of the money could be recovered. from
the Directors, to which that gentleman replied that he should
not attempt any such process.
Mr. FIELD then moved that the resolution be amended so
as to state that the Directors having expressed their inten-
tion to call a meeting, that this meeting do now adjourn.

On the motion of Mr. YATES, seconded by Mr. SOLOMON,
a motion was alio almost unanimously carried, expressing
the thanks of the shareholders for that gentleman's assist-
ance, and their confidence in his 'honour.
Mr. NEALE briefly replied, thanks were voted to the
Chairman, and the meeting separated.
