LORD MAYOR'S EASTER DlNNER.—Yesterday the
Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave the grand Easter
dinner to a numerous and distinguished party. The
tables were furnished with every delicacy of the season.
Amongst the company were the Marquis of Clanricarde,
the Spanish Minister, the Brazilian Minister and his
lady, Baron Platt, the Bishop of Chichester, the Dean
of Durham, Baron Wydenbrack, Mr. Bellew, M.P., Mr.
Rich, M.P., Colonel Cathcart, Mr. Justice Coltman, the
Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, Mr.
Masterman, M.P., Mr. Tufnell, M.P., Sheriff Cubitt,
M.P., and Sheriff Hill. Alter dinner the " loving cup"
went round, and the usual loyal toasts were then duly
honoured.—The Lord Mayor, in proposing " Her Ma-
jesty's Ministers," said he was convinced it was the
anxious desire of Government to preserve peaceful rela-
tions with all the countries of Europe.—The Marquis of
Clanricarde said that Ministers had had to contend with
difficulties of no ordinary class, to meet which they re-
liedect s .
on
Irrespectivethe supp or
oft of
must always arise in a great country like this, he felt
that the Government had a right to look for the general I
support of the community at large, so long as they served
atlhleclasses of
differences he
erf
opinion which Majesty's sub-
their country faithfully. He proposed the health of the
Lord Mayor, who so ably fulfilled the duties of his high
official station.—The Lord Mayor briefly acknowledged
the toast, and said it would be his anxious endeavour to
fulfil the duties of his station satisfactorily.—The Lord
Mayor next proposed " The Bishop of Chichester, with
thanks to him for his annual sermon in behalf of the
hospital."—The Bishop of Chichester, in acknowledging
the toast, expressed his high sense of the services ren-
dered by the educational charities of this country, The
Right Reverend Prelate spoke at great length, but owing
to the distance at which the reporters were placed from
the speakers, they were unable to collect even the pur-
port of his speech.—Some further toasts followed, and
the proceedings then terminated.
SAGACITY OF A HORSE.—Mr. John Holywell,
farmer, of Lindale, having one day recently nothing to
do for his old favourite horse " Roger " (which is up-
wards of thirty years of age), turned it into a field
adjoining his house, in which was a young horse, about
two years old. The old horse by some means t
o"
cast;" and the young _ one observing it, most la-
boriously, yet affectionately, set about to extricate it.
First of all, it took the old horse by the mane, and after
repeated pulls, succeeded in raising it on its fore legs
and then, with wonderful perspicacity, Placing its head
and neck behind them, so completed its affectionate task.
Before night, however, the old horse was in -the same
predicament; but its sagacious companion,
after several
attempts—and every attempt appeared to be made with
renewed determination—failed to accomplish his design.

HULL, MONDAY NIGHT.—The Julia, which arrived
here to-slay from Copenhagen, and made the passage
direct in seventy-two hours, reports that the Danes are
stopping all Pr 11951311 ships in the Sound, but that those
of Hanover are allowed to pass. Several Prussian
vessels have been already captured, and thirty provision
ships in the harbour of Copenhagen have been seized
and detained by the Daninh Government,
