" Having since your last meeting been deeply en-
gagedlin the various important matters pending iathecor-
poration,l have had but little time to devotelo the affair,
nevertheless I have given it much thought, and all the
consideration in my power, and am fully satisfied that to
render the entertainment fitting the peouliar occasion
the sum above named is moderate, for it must be borne
in mind that we have nothing but bare walls and roof, a-
large portion of the heavy flooring having to be made;
and it must be admitted that the emblems of war hitherto
forming the decorations must be entirely omitted on an
cccasion like this, which has for its object the encou-
ragement of universal peace and good will among na-
tions.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your, obedient
servant,

" Office of Work, Guildhall, June 3, 1851:
" With reference to the number of guests to be in-
vited, it appears from the best evidet ce we have been
enabled to obtain, that her Majesty's suite, the foreign
ambassadors and ministers, the great officers of state,
official personages, members of the Houses of Lords and
Commons, other distinguished personages specially in-
vited, the Royal and Foreign Commissioners, jurors,
British and foreign, superintendents of classes, and suc-
cessful exhibitors, heads of literary and otber scientific
bodies, officers of the corporation, and other visitors, will
amount to 2,100 personages, exclusive of the members
of the corporation and their ladies.
" We have also estimated the expense of suitable re-
freshments, music, tickets, at 1,8501., and therefore re-
port the same accordingly, confining ourselves to one
grand entertainment only, the expense of which is esti-
mated not to exceed the sum of 5,2501., leaving it wholly
for this honourable Court to determine whether or not
they would give any further entertainment.
" All which we submit to the judgment of this !Jon.
