"t/1 R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

FTCIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
waranteed to restore articu'ation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At

of participating in the operations of the war, and cannot
resist cengratulating the company present on the conclu-
sion of the treaty of peace, and expl4essink my earnest
hope that the peace which has been concluded may-bear
lasting as it is honourable to the nation. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next gave "The health of her
Majesty's Ministers." This toast, his lordship said, is
one which the citizens of London are always happy to
receive. It is a source of gratification to us whenever
her Majesty's Ministers honour us, its upon this occesioi
with their company, and when an opportunity is aflordeu
by the chief magistrate of the City of prope-ing such a
toast as that which r have now the honour to propose.
The position of a Minister of trio Crown in this country
is one of the greatest ditneulty. Tee Government of
the country is essentially ,one of public opinion. A
Minister must be not only a faithful servant of the
Crown, but he must also possess the confidence of
Parliament, and the favour and support of the people at
larger. The noble lord at the head of the Government
with his col eagues were placed in power because it was
considered necessary to the hot-lour of the country
that the war should be, prosecuted with greater vigour
and energy than had previously boeu pae case—that
greater vigour should be infused into our councils,
and greater preparations made for conducting the
war with vigour. There can be no doubt tt..n.t we are ii
debted for the peace which we are now enjoying to the
energetic measures of her Majesty's present Govern-
ment.. It must be admitted that at tirst the "peace"
was coldly r-ceived by the pubic at large as cempaseed
with what had been the case in former times. It was At
tlinu4ht, judging from the last war, the peace ought
to te preceded by some glorious events and victories
which had moved the minds and raised the spirits of the
people. It was thought., no doubt, that peace could not
be achieved without their usual concomitants of great
victories ; but a little reflection upon what has taken
place hat produced a change in public opinion on the
sulij, et. The people have not, it is true, "a glorious
peace," but they have a statesmanlike peace—a peace
which might justly challenge any similar event whicu has
taken plan in the modern history of Europe. I trust
that the treaty of peace which has just been concluded
will open up new channels for the commercial enterprise
of this country. In former times the opening up of the
navigation of the Mississippi was considered a great
benefit, but it is not less important to the interests cf
Europe and of the civilised world that the freedom cf
the navigation of the Danube has been secured. The
effect of the opening up of that navigation will be to us
what the Mississippi has been in another quarter of the
world, and I am sure that when, after a short time the
labours of the commission appointed to regulate the na-
vigation of that noble river shall be concluded, when
ships c rrying the British flag shall be at liberty to visit
every port in the Mediterranean, to pass through tl •
Dardanel'es, enter the Black Sea, and carry their cargoes
up to the very walls of liimes—when, I say, that has
been effected, the present treaty of peace will be found to
be one of immense value. A not less important object
effected by the treaty is the permanent settlement of
boundaries which previously were uncertain and ill-
defined. I feel confident that the Cabinet of the noble
lord, having succeeded in bringing the war to a happy
termination, will be by the confidnce of the public and
of the Parliament to introduce such other measures of
legislation as wi•l serve to extend commerce and give oc-
cupation to the varied interests of this great empire.
The toast having been drunk with great cordiality,
Lord PALMERSTON (who upon rising was loudly
cheered) said—lt is always a source of the greatest sa-
tisfaction for those charged with the conduct of affairs
to receive the hospitality of the worthy magistrate who
presides in this noble mansion as the representative of
this great metropolis. If ever there was a time at which
it must be more peculiarly grateful to those who stand
in our position to be present at this board, it must be
the moment at which we have now the honour to appear
before you. When could be a more fitting time to be
present to receive the hospitality of those who represent
the great commercial principle than the moment when,
at the close of a great and successful war, we have just
concluded an honourable and advantageous treaty of
commerce, which will give fresh scope to commercial
enterprise, and will lay the foundation ofnational wealth
and the welfare and happiness of Europe. (Cheers.) The
Lord Mayor has been pleased to remark that he thinks
that the task of those who conduct the affairs of this
country is one of peculiar difficulty—that they stand in
a double relation—that they must enjoy the confidence
of the Crown, and that they must also possess the confi-
dence and favour of the people. There never was a pe-
riod in the history of England in which that taste was
more easy than it is at the present time ; for there never
was a time when the sympathy which exists between the
Crown and the nation, between the person who sits on
the throne and those who are her subjects, was more in-
timate than it is now; or more founded on the best
sympathies which dignify human nature. The Lord
Mayor has adverted to the difficult task we had in
conducting, with sufficient energy and vigour, the
war which has been brought to a termination.
In that respect also the task which wo had
to perform was comparatively easy, for there was
among the people of this country that noble spirit, that
calm steady determination, that manly energy, which
renders the task of the Government comparatively
passive. We bad only to apply the means which the
generous energy of the country placed in our hands. It
was not necessary for us to stimulate courage which was
boiling over is the hearts of tlse people. We bad only
to accept the means which were cheerfully placed at our
disposal, and we should indeed have been unworthy of
the position which we occupied, and of the confidence
which we enjoyed, if we had not been able to direct
those means to the accomplishment of the successful issue
which has crowned the exertions of the people of this
country. We trust also that the peace which has bee a
concluded, though it may not be accompanied with con-
quered territories, with tributes levied upon vanquished
enemies—though it may not be accompanied with those
consequences which sometimes grace the conclusion of a
contest—we believe that the conditions of this peace
will be considered the more satisfactory the more one
compares the dangers which beset Europe when the war
begun, the condition in which that country was placed
for the protection of which we took up arms. The more
the people of this country compare the state of things
two years ago with the condition in which Europe is
placed by the treaty which has been concluded by my
noble friend who sits near me, that treaty, I say, which,
with such distinguished ability, with such foresight, with
such anxious care to guard every interest which came
under consideration, has been concluded ; the more that
comparison is made the more the people of this country
will have reason to think that their sacrifices have not
been made in vain ; that the efforts which they made
have not been made without adequate result ; and
while they may look back to the war with pride and
satisfaction on the one hand, on the other hand they
may look back to the peace with confidence as regards
the future. (Loud cheers.) You have heard, gentle.
men, the noble and enlightened sentiments expressed
by the ambassador of France, sentiments of that great
nation, and, above all, of that great Sovereign whom
he so worthily represents in this country. The know-
ledge that those are the principles of our great ally, and
that will guide his conduct, must inspire you still more
with confidence in the results of the peace. It is a grati-
fy ing circumstance—a circumstance most reassuring to
Europe—that those two great nations, the nations of
England and France, are allied in common bonds ; after
having often stood side by side in the field of battle—
after having sat together in conference at the same table
at which peace was made, they are sure to be bound for
the future by ties doubly sacred—ties cemented by com-
mon danger, by community of interests, which, I trust,
will perpetuate an al iance not only honourable and
advantageous to the countries whom it binds, but which
aid lay a foundation upon which the peace and prospe-
rity of Europe will rest. (Cheers.) I congratulate the
assembly that my lord mayor has assembled so many
Represeetatives of the Powers of Europe to testify their
sympathy with the great ea oat so recently concluded.
NVe have the gratification of seeing here the representa-
tive of that noble ally who has raised his country to a
level with the great powers ef Europe, not possibly in
the extent of its territory, but in the honour which he
has done to the noble principles which prescribe his cos-
duct. The conduct of a e King of Sardinia will always
reflect the highest honour on himself, and on the nation
he so worthily governs. We have also the representative
of the Sultan, in whose cause we drew the sword
who has shown his gratitude for the efforts made i and
e d nhtios
support by the great charter which he has grant
his Christian subjects. A charter which, adding
country, honour
to the right principles by which he governs his
will, by affording double strength, afford double security
to his throne, aro obiects as advantageous to the perma-
nence of his Government and of its throne as it will be
beneficial to the millions of subjects whom it will affect.
I will only return you thanks on the part of myself and
my colleagues for the honour you have done us, and to
assure you that nothing can afford us more gratification
than being here to receive the hospitality of this great
commercial metropolis of the world.
The noble lord resumed his seat amid loud cheering.
The LORD MAYOR next gave "The lie al th of the
Foreign Ministers and Ambassadors," coupling with it
the name of his Excellency M. Musurus, the Turkish
Minister.

The LT)RD MAYOR briefly returned thanks for the
honour w iich h been dme him as well in proposing his
health as in the Ha-tering manner i which it had been
received by the company, and propose f "The health of
tUe House of Lords," associating. .with the toast the
name of the Lord Chancellor.

Tee LORD CHANCELLOR, in acknowledging the tlnat
on behalf of the House of Lords, said that it afforded
him great pleasure to find that the opinion entertaine
by that house cuncided with the views expresso I lojic
more than one s2eaker as to the nature of the peace just
cencludel. The Rouse of Lords had testified their ap-
proval of the treaty just conlluded by unaniceoaely
agreeing to an addrees to her Majesty, expressive of
their joy and satisfa,ctioo on the occasion. Tile f ual of
man had now happily passed away, and turning hoot
the recollections of the past to brighter anticipations of
the future, he trusted that the illustrious body whom he
had then the honour to represent would not be wanting
in unremitting exertions in endeavo tiring t) realise t} a
prospects so ably indicated by the representative of •lest
gnat natisn with which we were now in Lucia cordial
alliance. (Cheers.) He trusted that., forgette g
after those false principles wh'cli had actuated nations
as well as individuals, teat the prosperity of our neigh-
bours in commercial relations tended to our &stress--
they might believe that the greatest advantage was to
be derived from the perfect freedom of commercial inter-
course between the various nations of the earth. He
trusted that it would be the constant endeavour of Par-
liament to devote its best energies to the development
of true commercial principles, in order to give effect to
a more enlightened policy, and thereby to benefit all
classes of mankind. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The health of the
House of Commons," associating with the last the name
of Sir George Grey.
Sir GEORO3 GREY, in reply to the toast, said—On the
part of the Hotise of Commons, as well as for myself, I
beg to return you our thanks for the honour you have

done us. I shall always esteem it the highest honour to
have my name associated with such a toast ; for it was
of the highest distinction. Under a constitutional Go-
verainent the House of Commons insures the expression
of the opinions of the country, tl,nd I entirely concur in
the opinion which has been expressed,that never have the
opinions of the people of this country been more ably or
more justly represented than in the part which the House
of Commons has taken in affording their support to the
Ministers of the Crown in the prosecution of the war.

The unanimity with which they have agreed in the ex-
pression of the opinion that the war has been brought to
a termination in a manner honourable to the Crown, as
having accomplished the objects of the war, reflects the

highest credit on their patriotism. I trust that as the
war was undertaken for no selfish ends, the blessings of
peaco will not be enjoyed by one country to the hurt of
another, but that it will cement mid consolidate the al-

fiance which this country has enter ed into, from which
during the war this country derived the greatest benefit,
and which will now, I trust, give an impulse to the wel-
fare, happiness, and prosperity of ma,lkind. (Cheers.)
Tile next toast given was that of "The Clergy," which
was responded to by the Rev. the Dean of St. Paul's.
The LORD MAYOR afterwards gave the health of the
Judges, for which learned body Lord Chief-Justice
Campbell briefly returned thanks.
Lord PALMERSTON said—l ;lave received pjmission to
propose to you a toast which I am sure you will drink
with the greatest pleasure. We have, gentlemen, been
talking of the war, and we have bean talking of diplo-
macy, two sources of influence wbic h exert a powerful
sway on the destinies of the country. But there is a
third source of influence no less pow erful than these ;
that source of influence which proct eds from the fair
sex. (Laughter.) It is to be borne i.n mind that men
often make war for the defence of the fa.ir sex, and it was

said, with what truth I do not presume to avow, that
they often diplomatise for the purpose ,of gaining their
favour. Let us then do honour to the \Mies, and lam
sure, gentlemen, you will feel that there Is no more ap-
propriate mode of rendering homage to the ladies than
by drinking the health of the Lady Mayor tes, who, with

so much grace and dignity, has presided ,over the fes-
tivities of the evening. I beg to propose "The Health
of the Lady Mayoress."

Tile LORD MAYOR returned thanks on beb,alf of the
Lady Mayoress, after which the company separated.
The dinner was provided by Messrs. Staples.

The TURKISH AMBASSADOR, who acknowledged the
toast in French, said :—Le corps diplomatique vous ex-
prime sea remercirnents pour le toast si amicalement
propose par le Lord Maire, et si sympathiquement uccu-
eilli par tousles assiA tuti. (Cheers.) Ses remerci-
men ts sout d'autant plus sinceres, qu'ils repondent aux
sentiments rnanifest63 i son egarel dans la premiere fete
solennelle donate par la Cit 6 de Londres apres la conclu-
sion de la paix. Rien ne saurait etre plus agr6able au
corps diplomatique que le retour de la pais, objet special
de sa mission ; et de merne que les Oneraux, et les ami-
raux sont fiers de l'avoir glorieusement conquise, de
meats la diplomatic mettra sa gloire et son ambition 4
la conserver. En mon particuliei, je m'estime heureux
d'exprimer 4 cette occasion la reconnaissance demon
(Gouvernomont pour la part qu'ox4 eua 4 co grand rd.
