GRAND BANQUET BY THE MERCHANT

TAILORS' COMPAIVY

Yesterday being St. .Barnabas'-day, the annual exa-
mination of the Merchant Ta]lors' Schoel was held, ac-
cording to the time-honoured custom, in the presence of
1)r. Winter, the master, and the senior fellows of St.
John's College, Oxford, and other distinguished visitors;
dnd in the evening the master and warders gave their
annual dinner to the examiners and their friends. The
opportunity was at the same time taken of inviting a
number of the distinguished foreigners who are at pre-
sent in this country to partake of the magnificent hos-
pitality of this ancient and distinguished civic company.
The banquet took place in the hall, and all the resources
of the company were expended in an entertainment which

appreciate the munificent hospitality of the great trading

The cloth having been removed,
The MASTER proposed " The Church and Queen,"
which was received with the utmost loyalty and enthu-
siasm.

The MASTER said the next toast was "Prince Al-
bert" (citize❑ and Merchant Tailor).—(Cheers.) He
had entertained great hopes that his Royal Highness
would have been present on that occasion; but as he was
unavoidably absent, he proposed that they should drink
his health.—(Cheers.)
The MASTER said they had present with them an
illustrious Prince, who was also a brother Merchant
Tailor—his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.—
(Cheers.) His Royal Highness was the last of the illus-
trious names that bad been enrolled on their list of
honourable members, but they were happy to enrol his
name among the many distinguished men that had been
connected with them as honourable members. He begged
to propose " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Princa of Wales, and the other members of
the Royal Family."
mho Duke of CaatnninGE said be felt at all times
honoured and gratified to have the advantage of meeting
in that hall the master, wardens, and members of this an-
cient and loyal company—a company to be enrolled on
whose tablets he considered a distinglished honour.—
(Cheers.) He, as an humble individual, felt strongly
that these ancient institutions were of the greatest ad-
vantage and of the greatest importance to this great
country. It was, therefore, a gratification to him that
he had the honour of being a member of one of these
ancient and distinguished civic companies. He was al-
ways happy in being permitted to meat them at their
hospitable board, particularly when, as at present, he
saw around him, not only distinguished members of this
country, but ago so many foreigners of distinction.—
(Cheers.) He f,:lt that the friendly intercourse which
was thus produced would tend to pronatite the general
advancement and civilization of the worli. He trusted

that such would be the result, and he was proud, with
the permission of the Master, as well at of the other
members, of this corporation, to bid these foreign gentle-
men welcome to their hospitable board.—(Cheers.)
The MUSTER then proposed " Tee Army and Navy."
Lord HARDINGE begged, in the absence of the Com-
mander-in-Chiet, to return his cordial thinks for the
army, who, he said, were proud on all occasions to re-
ceive the approbation of their fellow-citizens when
assembled on these festive occasions. He would remind
them that the British army maintained her Majesty's
dominions in colonies extending over one-tenth of the
whole terrestrial globe; and iu one of which colonies
alone, that of India, there was assembled one-tenth of
the population of the world. That reminded him for-
cibly of the obligations they owed to the Indian as well
as to the Queen's army; and he could never accept
praises for the one without broadly hoping that they
would unite the other.—(Cheers.) With respect to the
British army, he must say—and Le appealed on this
point to his Royal Highness, who was an excellent judge
—that the British armv was as remarkable for discipline
and good conduct at home as it was for energy and gal-
lantry abroad. He hoped, however, that their swords
would now be turned into ploughshares, at least for a
long time to come, and in that expectation he cordially
drank their good healths.
Lord COLCHESTER, who returned thanks for the
navy, said, he had no doubt, if flair services should
be required, that the navy would he found not to
have degenerated from y the etlicieso- of their prede-
cessors. But it must be remembered that the navy
had different duties to fulfil. They were not only
called upon to protect the country against foreign ene-
mies, but they were called upon also
commerce of the world. They had done this duty
hitherto, and he hoped they would continue to do it for
the future.—(Cheers.)
The MASTER said ono of the most pleasant duties was
the examination of the boys at the school of the com-
pany, and the election of the senior scholar, to St. John's
College, Oxford. The task of examination had been
kindly discharged by Dr. Winter, Who was himself
Merchant Tailor, and that day forty years had been
elected into the Merchant Tailors' school—now he was
the distinguished president of his college. He begged to
propose " Dr. Winter, the president,and the senior fel-
lows of St. John's College, Oxford.",_(Cheers.)
Dr. WINTER returned thanks. It was now, he said,
several centuries since the Merchant Tailors' School had
been opened, and since Sir Thomas White, the origina-
tor and founder of St. John's College, Oxford, had con-
ferred upon the company the privilege of nominating
three-fourths of the fellows of his sollege. Since that
time the Merchant TailorS' School lad been industri-
ously and faithfully engaged in traiting up children in
the principles of sounelearuing, pure religion, and de-
voted loyalty. In the examination of this year he was
happy to say that the boys had highly distinguished
themselves, because they had been able to nominate three
fellows; and though it did not become a prudent and
sober person to deal in prophecies, Set he might ven-
ture to predict that these boys would do credit to them-
selves and to their college, and that that' would establish
for the school additional claims to therespect and grati-
tude of the nation at large.—(Cheers.)
The MASTER then proposed " The Honorary Mem-
bers," among whom, he was happy to alye,
they reckoned
one name that was the glory of the world—the Duke of
Wellington.—(Cheers ) There were other names that
were not far behind him—such as Lend Hardinge, Sir
George Pollock, and other illustrious men.—(Cheers.)
He begged to propose " The Honorary Members of the
Company.
Lord HARDINGE returned thanks.
The MASTER then said they wen gratified with
having the honour of entertaining a lumber of distin-
guished foreigners, who had come to this country in
connexion with the Exhibition of the 4rts and Industry
of All Nations. Ile was proud to see, also, that several
distinguished statesmen who were present were also
connected, as Royal Commissioners, a:th that Exhibie
tion; and he begged to propose as a toast, Her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners and the Foreign Commissioners
for conducting the Groat Exhibition,' and he would
couple with the toast the names of Lord Stanley and
Baron C. Dupin.—(Cheers.)
Lord STANLEY was received with loud cheering. He
said—l little expected when I enterer' your hospitable
room this evening that I should be called upon to return
thanks for a body of men to whom, on every account,
I feel it a pride and a gratification t belong. But
to you, master, and to this company, I personally
owe a deep obligation, and I should feel myself un-
worthy of the kindness which I have received at your
hands if I were for a moment to hesitate,however inade-
quate, to undertake the task which you have set me.
This is not the first time I have had the honour of
speaking on behalf of the Royal Commissioners of the
Great Exhibition, as I thick I may now call it, of the
Industry of All Nations. I have spoken upon this sub•
jest in the City at a time when the balance of public opi-
nion was suspended beta een the chances and hopes of
success and the fears and apprehensions of signal failure.
I remember in this city, though not in this room, a
great impulse was given to the popular excitement in
favour of the Exhibition by an entertainment, which '
was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
under whose auspices the idea originated, and was, I
may say, perfected. At that time great doubts existed
whether the Exhibition would in any respect answer the
ideas of its originator and proposer. There were I know
not what apprehensions; there were fearsof a pecuniary
failure—perhaps that was a failure of the least kind—
there were fears of constant discomfort—there was talk
even of au interference with the national amusements
and r creations of the people—there were fears
and apprehensions that, from the gathering of
all nations, this country would become tho
focus of internal sedition and of external anar-
chy. I thank God first—l thank the genius and spirit
of my countrymen next—that these apprehensions have
vanished and melted into thin air.—(Loud cheere.) Nay,
even the difficulties and obstacles which were interposed
served only to heighten the magnificence and the splen-
dour of the ceremony; for I well remember, when ob-
jections were raised on a point of feeling in which I
myself participated, that it was hardly right to desecrate
those splendid parks which are the beauty and glory of
this city, by destroying those venerable trees under
whose shade succeeding generations have sported and
been amused; and when the preservation of these trees
was forced upon the Commissioners by the controlling
power of public opinion, that objection actually con-
tributed to produce the grandest and most magnificent
