that their most vigorous endeavours would be directed
to assuage the calamity which he was happy to believe
was not so great as it had been represented to be, he felt
happy in proposing " Her Majesty's Ministers."—
(Cheers.) They were a body of men who were prepared,
he did not doubt, to meet the evil, and, with the co-ope-
ration and confidence of their fellow-countrymen, suc-
eessfully to contend against it.—(Cheers) It would be
too heavy a task for him to describe the character of the
present Premier of England. It would be unnecessary,
too, for all knew, from long experience, that the mea-
sures of that eminent statesman were all directed to the
public good. Ile would allude to another circumstance.
For the first time the City of London was represented
by the Minister.—(Cheers.) He was sure that the toast
would meet with the warmest reception.—(Cheers.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose, and was most enthusiasti-
cally applauded. He begged leave, in the names of his
colleagues, and in his own name, to return thanks to
the company for the high honour done to them. He
could assure the company that the Administration
would use their utmost endeavour to promote the inte-
rests, to guard the honour, and to maintain the liberties
of this empire; and he trusted, that with the support and
approbation of the citizens of London, they would be
enabled to contribute to these great ends. He had,
however, another responsibility cast upon him—one of a
personal nature. He must always remember that the
last time he had had the honour to appear in the Guildhall
it was to be re-elected as one of the representatives in
Parliament of the City of London.—(Loud cheering.)
But he felt that the duties of a Minister of the Crown,
and those of a representative were not of a clashing
or contradictory nature. On the contrary, they were
compatible and perfectly harmonious.—(Cheers.) He
wished to state that fact, because he believed that
the citizens of London felt deeply for all the great in-
terests of the general community. He believed that
the hearts of the citizens vibrated with every fear of
dangerous or evil circumstances, while they rejoiced in
all the good fortunes with which the nation might be
blessed. The citizens of London became possessed as it
were by an electric telegraph, of all that passed in every
part of the empire, and whatever intelligence might be
subject-matter of joy, in that they rejoiced ; while in
matters of lamentation they hastened to contribute to
the utmost the means for its amelioration.—(Cheers.)
He felt that his duties as a Minister of the Crown, and
of a representative of the citizens of London, might
therefore be well mingled and joined together.—(Cheers.)
He offered his congratulations to the Lord Mayor for
the choice which his fellow-citizens bad made. He had
long known and esteemed the character of the Lord
Mayor, and he was confident that his Lordship would
honourably support the dignity which had been con-
ferred upon him ; but he must tell the Lord Mayor that
he would have no light task to perform if ho meant to
imitate the conduct, and emulate the example of his
most excellent predecessor in the chief magistracy of
the city of London.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with loud acclamation.
The LORD Mayon, in returning thanks, said he
should endeavour, in every way, to emulate the example
of his predecessor. His Lordship then proposed—
" The Marquis of Lansdowne, and the House of Lords."
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks. He
assured the assembly that if there was a question upon
which the House of Lords were unanimous, it was in
the determination to maintain the rights, privileges, and
immunities of the City of London.
After the health of the Lady Mayoress was drunk,
the ladies retired from the Hall, and commenced dancing
with great spirit in the Council Chamber.
Mr. MASTERMAN responded to the toast of the House
of Commons ; and several other toasts were proposed
and received with cheers.

The conviviality lasted till morning, and every one
seemed to be most happy.

DEATH of the GREEK GENERAL
LONDOS-ORATION OF ANASTASIUS LON-
DOS OVER THE DEAD BODY OF HIS
BROTHER, THE GENERAL.

Since the embalming of Londos' corpse, and when
about to be conveyed to the place of his nativity, lEgiurn, '
his surviving brother Anastasius Londos made the fol-
lowing oration, which is a multum in parvo exemplifica-
tion of the reasons of the Ministry's behaviour.
" Dearest Brothar,—l solicit of thy shade as much
tolerance as I felt grief for the forgiveness of thine
enemies. Petty intrigue of base passions will never be
capable of obscuring St. Laura, Missolonghi, Cerasobus,
other places of thy glory, and the 3d of September.
They wish, my dearest brother! to deprive thee even of a
tomb; but for thy tomb thou wilt have the hearts of the
Greeks, and the whole of Greece, which will eventually
render thee thy natural tomb with due honours. Thou
hast left me a mortal wound, but I find consolation in the
feeling of thy friends, of thy numerous relations, of all
the literati, of every feeling Greek, and of the whole of
the nation.

" Rendering thee, sweetest brother, the last salutation*

I crave thy blessing, which, guiding me in this mournful
and brief stadium of my life, will make me a worthy
imitator of thy political and other virtues of thy firm cha-
racter, and a friend of thy friends. And ye, my brother's
friends, assist me with your counsels, and grant me that
friendship you always evinced towards my dearest brother,
of which I hope I shall prove myself a worthy partaker."
The worthy editor of the Age, Mr. Philemon, in giving
insertion to the above oration, makes the following
remarks :—" It is impossible for us to depict the indig-
nation, the just indignation, which has been infused in
the hearts of all. It is impossible for as to write a single
word upon the subject. Let the Greeks both at home
and abroad, and all the world besides, form a clear notion
of this savage and unheard-of inhumanity, which guided
the conduct of the Ministry, or rather that of Coletti, in
this scandalous affair. Ilow otherwise will the Premier
be looked upon in this melancholy case, but as the most
pitiless and inhuman organ of the revengeful spirit of
Anti-Septernbrianism? This revengeful spirit against
the men of September has achieved the banishment of
some out of Greece—others it has sent far out of the
metropolis, and has endeavoured to turn out of the ser-
vice both of the nation and of the Chambers all thole
who have a spark of patriotism in their breasts, and has
denied even the enforcement of the first article of the
constitution. What more can it achieve against the Sep-
tembrians than to deprive them even of their tombs?
" Thinking ourselves incompetent, we do not under-
take to support the voluntary or involuntary suicide of
the ever-memorable Andreas Londos. But as in this
case, however, the ecclesiastical authority simply
denied, without making previously the necessary
examination, which the canons enforce, and as the
Faculty and the members of the legal profession
of our metropolis declared doubtful the voluntary suicide,
it follows that from the copulation of these circumstances,
with the a priori arguments, and from the moral and
gentle character of the deceased general, the canon ought
to be interpreted with a degree of clemency in his favour,
and that the Ministry has no reason whatever to deny
military honour being paid to his rank as a general.
Yes ! we are not the only ones who partake of this idea;
the whole of Athens, replete with grief, has partaken
with us in deploring this inhuman reproach against one
of the greatest benefactors of our country: both senators
and deputies of every shade and degree of politics have
indeed partaken of this idea, as appears from their peti-
tion to the ministerial counsel, a translation of which
has appeared iu the Morning Chronicle of Saturday the
7th instant."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERS ALL'S.—MONDAY.
There was a better attendance and a larger amount of
business transacted than any one could have ventured to
anticipate. Passing the Chester Cup, for which, al-
though more were mentioned, only two were backed, we
may mention several Derby horses as having been pro-
minently in demand ; they were Epirote, Allertonian,
Lunedale, the Marpessa colt, and Brother to Joinville.
The outlay on each was, for the season, liberal ; and it
will be seen that in two or three instances it had an effect
on the.prices. The desire to get on " was not confined
to these animals, but the investments were on a smaller
scale, and without any marked influence on the quota-
tions. We ought not to omit stating that Planet re-
ceded to 18 to 1, laid to 150/., the takers ready to go on.
The following list is made up to the close of the

The subscriptions to the Metropolitan Handicap Fund,
to be run for at the Epsom spring meeting, are flowing in
from a variety of sources, and with a liberality that will
enable the stewards tolidd a magnificent bonus—perhaps
5001. to the stake. The race will come off on Friday, the
16th of April.
