The loving cup baring been announced by Mr. Harker
with due emphasis—
"after grace, the first toast given was
of course that of The Queen," to which a most loyal
reception was given.,
The LORD MAYOR then, in brief and appropriate
terms, proposed 4 The Lord Chief Justice of England
and her. Majesty's Judges,"
Lord CA3IPBELL, in his own nape and that of :he
Judges, returued thanks for the honour"which had been
conferred on them. ' They had always felt the greatest
pleasure in accepting the invitations of the Lord Mayor,
and it gave them high satisfaction to think that
their conduct had been approved of by the chief
magistrate of the city and their fellow-citizins. That
approbation was the highest reward that could be
conferred on them fa- their labours and anxieties. It
gave him great satisfaction to think that there had 'al-
ways existed a strong and intimate connexion between
the. Judges and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen. From
ancient times there had been a s-.court of criminal
jdriiidiction in the City, over which the Lord Mayor pre-
sided, and when that court met the judges had much
pleasure in mixing with the magistrates of the City.
They went together, on solemn occasions, to the cathe-
dral of St, Paul to offer up their -prayers to the Al-
mighty. Again, at the festive board, they bad, the
pleasure of being iavited to the 'Mansion-house and' the
Guildhall to partake of the elegant hospitality of the
City. In former times that hospitality used to be re-
ciprocated by the Sergeants, • but he was sorry that of
late years Out cu,touci had fallen into disuse. He re-
joiced in the prospect which existed that
.the ancient
festivities were to he revivel—(Latiglver)—}or he had
read in the iiewspop,rs—and ther,fore it must be true—
that the Society ot, the Middle Temple were about to
give a grand dinner and ball In the illuarious foreigner's
alembied on our shore-,, to the Lord Mayor and Al-
dermen of the city of London, and to the magistrates.
Barristers would once more dance round the bonfire, and
the grave Lord ICeePer would again open the ball, the
seals and the mace of office dancing along with him.—
(Much laught,r.) Thus "would the festivities of Queen
Beis be revived in the reign of Queen Victoria.—
(Cheers.) But even if these visions should not be re-
alitijd the judges would always retain a moat grateful
and , pleasing recollection of the hospitalities of the
Mansion-house.

The LORD MAYOR then gave as a toast, and in highly
complimentary terms to the Noble Lord, "Lord Crari-
worth and the House of Peers."
Lord CRANWORTH returned thanks, and in doing so
said that he was, with one exception, the youngest mem-
ber-of the House of Piers. -He believed, however, that
whatever might be its defects, it was an deeply
roofed in the affections of the country. To confess that
it died not always diicharge its duty was but acknowledg-
ing that it was a human institution. He considered the
House. of Pe,rs eminently qualified for the part which
they took in the Constitution, and he hoped for himself
that,he would never do discredit to such a body. Al-
luding to what bad fallen' from Lord CompbEll, with re-
ference to the disuse into which the ancient festivities of
Serjeant's Inn had fallen, he thought the Noble and
Lettened Lord had come to a lame conclusion in not an-
nouncing that the Sergeants, of whom he was the head,
and among whom he had great influence, were to eet the
example in reviving those testivities.—(Laughter.)
Lord CAMPBELL proposed " Tee health of the Lord
Mayor," and in doint, so alluded to the high opinion
which was entertained abroad of the importance of his
Lordship's office. He quoted as an illustration of this a
story which he had heard from Sir J., Romilly. A dia.
tingulikhed foreign nobleman once said t',) him, " I hope
you may one day reach the office of Lord I.l..yor—
(Laugh ter)—and, if not, at all events; that you may comebe-
Lord Chancellor." lie gave the health of the
Lord*Mayer as a man of high honour, of great suavity
of manner, and as actuated by an earnest desire to serve
his country.
The': LORD MAYOR, baying returned thanks, pro-
posed " The health of Dr. Lnshington," who, after ac-
knowledging the Compliment, gave as a toast "The Lady
Mayoress."

The ladies then withdrew, and after a succession of
toasts, among 'which were " The gar of England," to
which Sergeant Manning replied, and "The Governor of
the Bank of
the teyta
guglatermd," responded to hy Mr. T. Liankey,

TRANSPORTATION TO VAN DIEMEN'S
LAND.
Lord LYTTELTON presented two petitions from the
inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land, or, as they styled
themselves, the inhabitants of Tasmania, against the
transportation of criminals to the Australian colonies;
and he bad a memorial to present to her Majesty, signed
by many thousands of the female inhabitants of the
colony, against transportation. In the Australian colo-
nies there existed a leaeue against the transportation of
oriminals.—(Hear.)• This was among the first fruits
of the successful, resistance to the plan of trans-
portation by the colonists at the Cape of Good Hope.
This was a most grave considered n, this resist-
ance of the Australian colonists to transportation. He
found no fault with the Government; but he thought
the evidence they had, as to the manner in which the
experiment bad worked, was worthy of grave considera-
tion. How had the experiment of transportation an-
swered? At present, all the penal part of the punish-
ment was iefleted at home, anti then they were
removed to Van Diemen's Land with tickets of
leave. Now that system had not, and could not have
any beneficial effect upon criminals at home. The Go-
vernor of the colony, who had expressed the greatest de-
ire that the experiment should succeed. had urged thst
ell t he' convicts should pass a period of compulsory lab_ ur
in the colony, instead t.f being sent out with tickets of
leave. In answer to this statement, the Noble Earl the
Colonial Secretary had said that with regard to Irish
convicts, seeing that no means existed of inflicting refor-
matory punishment on such criminals in Ireland, it might
perhaps be advisable that they should suffer the second
portion of their punishment in the colony. The evi-
dence as to the condition of female convicts in that colony
reported it to be most deplorable; he doubted whether
they had not sufficient evidence before them as to the
failure of the experiment; and their could not be a
doubt but that the great majority of the inhabitants
of the colony were spins; transportation. There
wore certain portions of the itthabitan's who might be
called the convict interest, and woo were opposed to
the free inbahitants of the colony, and the fact of the
existence of this convict interest was, as he thought,
most dangerous. The Assembly of New South Watts
had decided, without a division, against a renewal of
tran.portation, and a petition ag,inst transportation had
been presented to the Legislative Council, signed by
36.000 persons, sgainst a petition in its favour signed by
only 525. The Governor of Van Dieuueii'a Land htd Baia
that those convicts who had come from Parkhurst Prison
with the best characters had turned out the worst of the
transports. Was it possible to torus a good and virtu-
ous community out of such elements? In a moral re-
spect the presence of tees° convicts must had to the
moral and spiritual polluting of the colonies,
however it might forward their material inte-
rests; thus, we took advantage of the material
pressure upon the material interests of the colonies, to
iestroy their moral and spiritual interests. He pressed
he iutjeet upon the consideration of the Government,
and hoped that a better system would be adopted.
Every memorial from Van Diemen% Laud had upbraided
the Government with a promise made in 1847. that
transportation to that colony should cease; and the
Noble Earl had said, that although some such ex-
pression might have found its way into a dispatch,
yet that no such promise could have been given. Bat
ne remembered that in 1846 the Noble Earl hack sent out a
dispatch to Sir W. Denison, in which he expressed a
hope that he should be enabled to do away with trans-
portation to the colony ; and shortly afterwards Sir G.
Grey had intimated an opinion that the transportation of
male convicts to that colony should cease, and
proposing that persons sentenced to transportation
should, after undergoing a term of impri-
sonment, be permitted to deport themselves,
thus substituting exile for transportation, and
the Secretary for the Colonies, in a ' dispatch
to:Sir W. Denison which was communicated by the Go-
vernor to the Legislature, said that after the expiration
of two years transportation would not be renewed. He
could not see why the Government should not revert
to the original plan of inflicting all the punishment in
this country, and of the permitting the convict to depart
himself with the money he had earned to any part of the
world he liked.
The Archbishop oeDUBLIN felt called upon on the pre-
sent occasion to bear testimony to the working of the peni-
tentiary system established at the Mountjoy depot in Ire-
land. He had been invited to go that penitentiary to hold a
confirmation, and he went because the prisoners could not
go to the parish church. It was impossible for him to speak
too highly of Mr. Blacker, the excellent minister who had
charge of the Protestant convicts. That Rev. Gentleman had
informed him, that out of 30 or 40 convicts about to sail for
the colonies several desired and were in a fit state to be con-
firmed. He had himself examined them all, and it appeared
to him that the moral system and discipline of that peni-
tentiary had solved one of the most difficult problems in pe-
nal legislation. The punishment was felt by the prisoners
as severe on account of the separate and silent system, and
it did not appear to have injured their intellee's or to have
impaired their health. Silence, labour, and cleanliness were
enforced, and opportunities of instruction were afforded to
the prisoners. A large number of the prisoners who had left
the depot were able to read and write, although when they
came there they did not know the letters of the alphabet.
The confinement appeared to him ta be so complete as to be
ban r fide a very severe punishment as well as as reformatory
one. Indeed the hopes which Mr. Blacker entertained
of a zeal reform were most encouraging, but at
the same time he expressed his regret that the prisoners,
though well quallfuct for a society of average morality, were
about to be sent toe country in, which the great mass of the
population were contaminated, and that they would have
to undergo a more fiery ordeal than they could be expected
to sustain. that exception, the system seemed to be
sufficient to deter and to reform. He should have been
grateful if he could have said that his opinions had changed,
or if his predictions had been falsified on this question; but
he could not say that they had. All accounts from the colony
only confirmed his most 'dismal apprehensions. It had been
said that the reports of the Committee were one-sided. In a
certain sense that might be the case, but it they were one-
sided it was because tne evidence was one-sided, and if the
evidence was me-sided, it was because the facts had been
one-sided. :Nevertheless;' as far as 'he Mountjoy experiment
:tad been tried, be thought he was warranted in saying that
it had solved um of t.la4 most difficult problems connected
with the questidn.
Earl GREY.thouglit he would best consult the conveni-
ence of their Lordships by confining his observations to one
or two of the principal points touched on in the speech of the
Noble Lord. It had been stated more than once that any
.system of punishmentectiffined to this country rendered the
lapse of convicts into crime an inevitable result. The Noble
Lord who hadprecedecl him in office had called their Lord-
ships' attention to that.fact. There could be no doubt that
convicts discharged from the Penitentiary, anxious to get
work anti to do well, had been dragged back to crime by
falling in with some of their old associates. The present
system was toemove the convict to the colonies after he had
Undergone a-certain term of imprisonment and labour at
home. The Right Rev. Prelste had alluded to the Mount-
joy Penitentiary, which was on the model of that of Pen-
touville. There wad, however, one circumstance connected
with the' system at that Penitentiary, which could not be
overcome, and that was its effects on the intellect and health
f the pri.obers. All the medical me-, agreed in opinion,
and the experience at Pentonville confirmed that o inion,
that 18 .utuathe was the maximum which human nature
could bear of that very stern and severe system. Even that
period ceuld3not be undergone without the closest attention
from the chaplain and matical officer. la many cases 12
in-nths was as long a period as the system could be perse-
vered with. There were, however, criminals who could tee
De let off with merely 13 months' imprisonment.— (11. sr. )
According) !'the present system, which he thought by far the
best systetni was adopted. After a period of separate con-
finement tlie'eonvicts were sent to public works at Portland,
darmuda, and Gibraltar, and there employed under strict re-
gulations. He knew not if any of their *Lordships had seen
those work. If not, he would advise them to visit them.
Although the sight of human beings undergoing punishment
was at all times painful, he was gratified on visiting Port-
land to seethe busy appearance of the place, the good con-
duct of the men, the little discipline that was required, and
the immense amount of useful labour peifermed. The pri
soners ware employed under engineer officers, and were sti.
mutated by.the expectation of sborteuing ny good cent*

their perio-tt(,f probation. Indeed, so greisi was that stimuluS
that men even unwell would rather go with the gangs than
remain at home. He had seen one man who had gone out
with his gang before he had recovered from a very serious
accident. The next step in the punishment of the convicts
was their &morsel to the colony on what were called tickets
of leave. The Noble Lord had eked why the original
plan had not been adhered 'to? Experience was against
it. It, was found that the prisoners, after having b.en
under a strict system of discipline in this, country, were
not able withstand temPtittion when they became their
own masters in the colony. They were now granted
tickets of leave. and were dispersed in the more distant
pars of the colony, where they were usefully employed
as shepherds and in other occupations. The results, as far
as they had been ascertainel, were satisfactory. At first
there was no means of carrying the punishment into effect
in this country in the way it ought to 04 carried into effect;
but that defect was now in a great measure remedied. The
Noble Lord said that GOvernmect had broken their promise
to the Governor of Van Diem, rt's Land. He thought it was
clesr from the Noble Lord's Own showing that no promise
had been violated. The Noble Lod said that the first eons.
rnunication whica he (Earl Grey) had made to the goveitor
was is September, 1846, three months atter he came into
office, and that the substance of his consinnnication was that
he could give lain no information. as to the penal system to
be adopted unfit the decision of the Government and Parlia-
ment had teen pronounced.—( Hear, hear.) A few months
afterwards the views of the Government were embodied in
an elaborate letter from Sir Ge,.rge Grey to him; and he
stated that It was not the present intention of the Govern-
ment that, it the expiration of two ye ra, transportation to
Vau Diemen's Land should be resumed. (Lord Lyttelton
made an otnervation, which was not heard in the gallery.)
It wa a -sri,take to suppose that the executive could do
what it pleased in a question such as this. Early in 1.47 a
Noble and Learred Lord not at present In this country
moved for &Committee on the subject, ana an opinion was
expressed that the Government were wrong in what they
had Propose 4. Concurrent with that opinion, a general ex-
pression wail received ftom the colonie4 that the convicts
should not 5e sent as exiles, but rather under some
species of m64ified control. He had no hesitation in stating
that; the intention was to remove then as exiles, and to send
them to as rainy of our colonies as poSsible. For many years
it had been tlie practice in Bermuda to give pardons to con-
victs for good behaviour, and on condition that they went to
some other country. Very recently some of these, men had
Worked their fassage to the United States; but on gettivg
there they found that a law recently passed prohibited any
shipowner bringing convicts to that country, and accordingly
they were tali-.4a back do Bermuda. Lie agreed with the
