upon, as the Hon. Gentleman has told you—as an old
soldier and an old servant of nty Sovereign ;, but I lay claim
to nothing beyond the proud 'position of being an 'English
country gentleman ; and I must say that the House of Lords
feels deeply grateful to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the
manner in which he has proposed the toast to you—for the
way in which you have received .it.—(Cheers.) Permit me
to say for myself and my brother Peers here, that we feel
much obliged to the Members of the House of Commons
who are here present, and who I believe truly represent the
feelings and opinions of thel.people of England, for having
permitted us to join with you in paying honour where honour
is due.—( Hear.) We have forgotten, in the House of
Lords, that Lord Stanley resigned the high and responsible
situation of one of his Alajestes principal Secretaries of State
because he refused to abandonthose principles which had led
that Cabinet to;office.-: (Cheers° Gentlemen, you have already
heard his splendid eloquencd,:yand you have also seen that
Lord Stanley has carried on-with. energy and skill —with
energy purpose-and straigtorwardness of conduct— his
opposition to theaneaanreir r Majesty's Government.--
( 4Ald cheers ) J,l.anLone* oftlltrose who think we require
something more Win spleirdWabilities—we require that the
individual who holds officellrtnuld be faultless in his private
character. I have ever felt ttet honesty and good intentions
go far towards the good government of mankind. The de-
voted husband, the affectionate father, the true friend and
the liberal landlord, the kind and considerate neighbour, are
in my mind worth a dozen men who have pored over innu •
merable blue books and studied political economy.—(Cheers
and laughter.) There are here present many Peers cif Great
Britain and Ireland whose ancestors gained their rrink and
privileges in many a well-fought battle-field, antic whose
heroic achievements were equalled only by the trw..scendant
talent displayed by others at the bar and in the senate. He
asked, did any one of them gain thei- well-merited honours
by submitting to pressure from without, or truckling to po-
pular clamour 2 (Loud cries of " No.") No, -they might
depend upon it that it was the duty of the Hour of Lords to
check rash legislation and hasty and unwise , decisions—it
duty to
give the people of England time calmly to
es brought forward. He knew their
hatred to anything like',
acts of injustice, and he felt satisfied
that they could not with entirely to destroy the agricul-
tural interests of that ' country—to cripple many of
the operatives engaged in manufactures—to injure their
shipping interest and destroy their colonial possessions.
Give the people only time to reflect, and he believed they
would find that if, it was seen legislation
had been directed
to such objects, they would soon insist on having it amended.
They looked forward with confidence to the time when their
Cwoursisider their
thedu as
Noble Friend at the head of a strong Government would be
called upon to advise her Majesty in these dthgerms times.
—(Loud cheers.) He did not think his Noble Friend would
ever be placed in the position to appoint some colonel orether
to defend the metropolis, who would be ready to
,deciare
that be would rather have a foreign fee in Pnese*on of
the city of London than that `proteetien shoAlLt. e_re-
atored.—(Great-laughter.) All he could' et *1111; ,Wt
only possible chance there was of seeing a foreign army in
that country was when some Government would be foolish
enough to trust that colonel with the command of troops.—
(Great laughter.) He would only. in conclusion, say that he
thought they ought firmly to resolve to place their entire and
full confidence in his Noble Friend Lord Stanley.—(Cheers.)
He knew that there were minor differences of opinion among
them, but he recommended to all to merge their differences,
and be united as one man under one leader—without that
they were nothing—with it they would be powerful and
strong.—(Loud cheers.) He was sure they would all, con-
tinue loyal to their Sovereign, devoted to the person of their
gracious Queen, determined at all risks and hazards to
maintain the Protestant constitution and Protestant institu-
tions of the country, and never let the House of Lords for-
get that there was no greater poltroon in the world than the
man who hesitated to perform his duty because his motives
might be misrepresented, and that no man was a greater
coward in the globe than the man who hesitated to vote ac-
cording to his honest and conscientious convictions, be the
danger what it might, whether emanating from nursery
ghost stories or the timidity of Ministers.—(Hear, hear.)
He for one should be happy to continue to serve under his
Noble Friend, with the motto inscribed on his banner—of
" Fair Protection to British Industry.''—(Great cheering.)
Lord STANLEY said—My Lords and gentlemen, Ism about
to give you " The real Depositary of Power in this Country
—the House of Commons."—(Cheers.) That is the founda-
tion of the liberties of the people, the legitimate represents..
tive of public feeling, and I believe it combines within its
walls more talent, and, I believe, more sound patriotism and
more real capabilities, than any other assembly in the world.
—(Loud cheers.) For a period of twenty-two years I•hacl
the honour of being a Member of that House. I found many
valuable friends, and I am proud to say I retain most of them
to the present moment. Although for some years separate&
from that House, in consequence of the position in which
your kindness has placed me, opportunities have been af-
forded me of keeping up a personal acquaintance and com-
munication, and I look upon nothing with greater pleasure
than that full and free communication and intercourse which
has resulted from it.—(Cheers.) It gives me the greatest
pleasure to take this opportunity of returning thanks to my
Hon. Friend on my left (Mr. Disraeli) for the distinguished'
talent and courage with which he has fought the battles
of his country on many a well-fought field, and for the
wit and general ability and talent which he has displayed,
and which have been the admiration of his friends, and
the terror of his enemies.—(Great cheering and laughter.)
I propose to you, gentlemen, " The House 'of Commons and
Mr. Disraeli." •
The toast was responded to with the utmost cordiality and
heartiness.

Mr. Dassetws, on presenting himself, was loudly and re-
peatedly eheexed. He said—As one of the rank arid file
of the House of Commons I rise to express my sense of the
honour you have done us in drinking our healths. I
can truly say that—l will not say the triumphant—but
the considerable position which our party have obtained
in the House of Commons has not been owing to any
individual whom acci4nt and not merit has placed in a
prominent position; but it is owing to the moral qualities
of the trcops —(Hear, hear.) Those only who are acquainted
with public life—those only who are experienced in our
political history, can appreciate the achievements of a party
placed as the Protectionist party was in that House. For
when we lost the inspiration and counsels of that great man
to whom the Noble Lord who has proposed the health
of the Members of the House of Commons made so feeling an
appeal, we were left entirely to our own resources and to the
spirit of good fellowship which kept us together, and which
has really been our guide in all the exigencies we have had
to encounter. We had no traditionary discipline, no com-
pleted organisation—we had not in that House the influence
of leaders who, from official experience or political position,
might be expected to wield an influence over that body; but
we were guided by the feelings of gentlemen, and by the
courage and determination of freemen—(Loud cheers)—by a ,
courage which did not shrink from meeting the foe we had
to encounter, and by a kindness that knew always how
to forgive the imperfect efforts with which friends
might have tried to assist us. If I might, indeed, more
specifically allude to details, I might refer to two causes that
have led to the position we now occupy in that House ;
which, though it does not command a majority, is yet a
great division, and at least, counts numbers superior to
that of any other section.—(Hear, hear.) I may presume
to attribute this to two causes. First, because under all
our difficulties we have been sustained by a prin-
ciple; and, secondly, because in the counsels that we
have ventured to cffer for public adoption, we have always
been careful that the application of that principle should be
temperately urged. We have not at any time wished to
uphold the interests of any particular class, or any particular
interest; and here I may notice that it is often and in-
vidiously asserted that we have too frequently advocated
the interests of one particular class. True, it has been our
duty to maintain the interest of a particular class, but it has
been because that class is the only one in the country that
has been oppressed.—(Loud and general cheering.) Except
under these circumstances, the policy that we have always
urged has been a due consideration of the legitimate claims

roneous system which, under the specious plea of terminating
of all classes in the state. We have indeed opposediendt:traacttlhasr

fend the institutions of the country—institutions embody-
ing the great principles of power and protection, of justice
and order, of liberty and religion.—(Hear, hem.) It is
these institutions, supported by these classes, that has made
this country great, aed kept it great.—(Cheers.) It is
these institutions, now openly criticised and attacked by the
new schcol of politicians, who appear to have gathered up
their principles and ideas of Government from some
imaginary and insignificant republic. It is these in-
stitutions we mean to support ; and I have always be-
lieved that the chief duty of the party of which we are
Members in the House of Commons, supported as their
are by the great bulk of the community without its walk? it
is our great duty to support and maintain those institutions
(Loud cheers)—to support those institutions because they
embody those principles, and because upon those principles

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.—One of those unfortu-
nate accidents that sometimes frustrate labour at the point of
success occurred on Saturday, to one of the intending exhi-
bitors in May next. Mr. *Lachlan, the decorator in St.
James's-street, had just finished a fine specimen of his art in
arabesque colours, chiefly on glass, to show the effect with
which painted glass might bo used for the purposes of inte-
rior decoration, and had placed it on a van to convey it to
Hyde-park, but before any cord could be put upon it, a strong
gust of wind, sweeping along Jermyn-street, lifted the deco-
