THE LORD IIAYOR'S DAY.

THE BANQUET.

The grand banquet, given by the Lord Mayor and She-
riffs in honour of their accession to office, took place last
night in the Guildhall. The vastbanqueting-hall presented
a dazzling blazo of light and colour. Jets of gas ran round
the, ceiling and ornamented the architectural screen-work

of the hall, and coloured chandeliers, transparencies, me
,:tallims, and trophies of flags united to give brilliancy and
animation to the scone. The warlike character of the de-
corations of last year was now succeeded by transparencies
and paintings illustrativo of the happier and more benign
Influences of peace. Above the dais occupied by .:;t T.,:ril
31a,yor and the principal guests was a colossal representa-
tion of Peace. descending from the skies with the olive
branch, and encouraging Agriculture and Commerce by

her presence. At the opposite end of the hall was a
spirited painting, illustrative of the arts and the impulses
they derive from peace. Poetry, Painting, Sculpture,
Music, and Architecture were here symbolized,

and represented in the active pursuit of their respective
arts. Above this, the western window, was a brilliant gas
star, supplied by Mr. Osier, upon a black ground, which
shed a soft and rich light upon the lower end of the hall.
A plume of feathers, nine feet in height, composed of spun
glass, was placed over the eollery on the south side of the
hedl, al,d a golden figure of Plenty, with a basket of flowers
on her head, stood on either side of the entrance to the
lobbies leading to the council chamber. Around the hail
were medallion portraits of her Majesty and the principal
Sovereigns of Europe, now happily allied to us in peace-
fal relations. The brilliant illuminations and paintings
of the half, the elegantly dressed ladies who parti-
cipated in the banquet, the military, naval, and diplo-
matic costumes which gave variety to the scene, the scar-
let robes of the judges, sergeants-at-law, and aldermen,
the flowers and evergreens which were liberally distri-
buted upon the walls, made up together a coup d'ceil of
remarkable beauty and splendour. Among the earlier
arrivals was his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
who was loudly cheered on entering the hall. Lord Pal
merston was also greeted with an enthusiastic reception.
Among the company were—the late Lord Mayor, the
Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of
Salisbury, Lord Palmerston, Lord Pan.mure, Mr. Sheriff
Mechi, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Peruvian
Minister, the Brazilian Minister (Le Commandeur F. J. de

The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—Your Royal
Highness, my Lords, ladies, and gentlemen, loyalty to our
Sovereign is a strong characteristic of the people of this
nat',on, and I feel that no preface is necessary on my part
to Induce you to drink in these ancient halls the health of
the Sovereign. (Cheers.) I give you " the health of the
Queen," and may a kind Providence long bless her with
health to reign over a prosperous, happy, anti united
people. (Cheers.)
" God save the Queen" was then sung by the vocalists.

The LORD MAYOR next gave " the health of his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the
rest of the Royal family." (Cheers.)
The LORD MATOL—An unexpected honour and pleasure
have been conferred upon me by the presence of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and I feel assured that
you will all greet him with a hearty welcome.. His Royal
Highness has nobly fought the battles of our countr3 , and
has survived the war in which he bore so distinguished a
part. We now have the advantage of his services as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army, and we all anticipate great
public benefit from the superintendence of the army by so
experienced and gallant a general. (Cheers.) I have much
pleasure in proposing "The Health of the Duke of Cam-
bridge," and may ho long live to perform the duties of
Commander-in-Chief of the army of Great Britain. (Loud

cheers.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was greeted with enthu-
siastic applaueb, said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentle-
men,—l feel extremely flattered by the very kind manner
in which my health has been proposed and received. lam
At all times proud and happy to have an opportunity of
associating with my fellow-citizens in. London, and this is
the first occasion on which I have had the honour of ad-
dressing them since I assumed a more important position
in the public service than I had hitherto held. I am aware
that, in undertaking the duties of that position, much is
naturally and justly expected from me, but I hope you will
believe me when I assure you that it ever has been, and
will always zontinue to be, my anxious and earnest desire
to act in such a manner that when, at some future period, I
may have to resign or retire from the post I have now the
honour to occupy, it will be with the feeling that I have
conscientiously discharged my duty to my country. If by
such a course I gain the good opinion and the kindly feel-
ing of my fellow countrymen I shall feel that I have ob-
tained the most gratifying reward that can fall to the lot
of any public man. I had expected, my Lord Mayor, that
your lordship might possibly have honoured me by coup-
ling my name with the toast of " the Army." You have in
some respects done use great honour by naming me alone ;
but lam desirous, on behalf of the army, which I now
have the honour to represent, to express in their n‘me my
sense of the distinguished attention which they have re-
ceived since their retina from the seat of war. (Cheers.)
Nothing could be more gratifying to the feelings of the
army than the cordial welcome they have experienced
from the whole community since their return from the
Crimea. (near, and cheering.) That good foaling has been
nowhere more cordially displayed than in this great metro-
polis, and we are deeply indebted to my excellent friend
the late Lord Mayor for the ability with which he pr,a;ded
over the banquet given to the Guards. (Cheers.) On behalf
of the army I bag to thank my friend the late Lord Mayor
and the citizens of London for the very handsome compli-
ment they then paid to our troops. (Renewed cheers.) I am
sure also, that the army must be equally gratified by the cor-
dial welcomes which have been accorded to them in the sis-
ter capitals of Dublin and Edinburgh. (Cheers.) The best
reward of a soldier is the kindly approval of his fellow-
countrymen. The people of England have exhibited that
kindly feeling towards the army, and, asat this moment the
representative of the army, I beg to tell you they are
grateful for the compliment. (Loud cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR—We aro now at peace with all the
world, but we must not forget by whom that peace was
achieved, or that everything was due to the gallantry of the
united service. We have some of the noblest ornaments
of that service present among us, men who have gained the
good feeling of those who have witnessed their exploits.
We are honoured with the presence of one gallant General
who twelve months ago was fighting the battles of his
country and enduring the greatest privations. I trust we
may now long continue at peace with all the world, and I
give " tho Army and Navy," coupling with the toast "the
health of General Sir W. Williams of Kars and of Captain
Milne."

The many gement of the Hospital is in the hands of 30 Governors,
early elect ed from the gener ti list of subscribers, at the Annual

when any subscriber may attend, if so disposed, the Board being at
ill times e !estrous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation.

Sir W. WILLIAMS was received with much cheering. He
sail he hoped he should have escaped the duty of returning
thanks for the army, since his Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief Was present. Having been called
upon by the Lord Mayor, it was impossible for him
not to rise and endeavour to fulfil the duty imposed
upon him, but he could not help feeling that Sir G.
Pollock was an officer of greater standing and distinction
than himself, who better deserved to have his name as-
sociated with the toast. The Lord Mayor had adverted to
the restoration of peace. Upon former occasions when
peace was declared the army had been reduced to the low-
est possible number. It was therefore most pleasing t• him
to know that we should now have a very fine and noble
army scattered over the land, under the discipline of his
Royal Highness and the able administration of the noble
lord near him (Lord Panuaure). He congratulated his
countrymen upon this circumstance, and ho was sure that
if the old Crimean army should be called on to fight the
battles of their country they would display the same va-
lour, energy, and heroism which distinguished them dur-
ing the late war. (Cheers.)
Captain MILNE, as a member of the Board of Admiralty,
acknowledged the toast on the part of the navy.
The LORD MAYOR, after gratefully alluding to the ser-
vices of his predecessor in' office, next proposed " the
health of the late Lord Mayor." (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman SALOMONS said he wanted words to ex-
press the gratitude he felt to his fellow-citizens for the
kindness with which they had viewed his efforts to serve
them. Upon the occasion of this banquet occurring last
year he experienced much anxiety, but he now felt very
proud and grateful for tha.good opinion which his fellow-
citizens had been pleased to express. He could not sit
down without expressing to his Royal Highness his grati-
tude for the complimentary manner in which he had been
good enough to speak of his humble services. He trusted
the Lord Mayor would derive as much pleasure from his
year of office as he had done. (Cheers.)
" The health of the Lord Chancellor" was then proposed
by the LORD MAYOR, and acknowledged by the noble and
learned lord.
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing " The health of her Ma-
jesty's Ministers," said they wore honoured by the pro-
sence of a member of the Cabinet who had rendered most
important, and valuable services to the nation at a period of
its greatest need. That noble lord had carried the country

Barclay and !Perkins's brewery, and to pass under the
South wark7bridge-road.
Mr. TAYLOR now said that he proposed to . cross
Southwark-bridge-road on a level, the height being 16
feet at that point.
Sir B. HALL then, inquired for the details of the plan
showing the gradients of the ascent and descent to and
from the Southwark-bridge-road.
Mr. TAY OR said he bad not prepared them, but would
have them ready in the course of a couple of days.
Sir B. HALL bPgged•to inform the deputation that be
bad only till Thursday to give his decision upon the en-
tire plans for the Southwark improvements, and here
was a proposal to ascend and descend to and from South-
wark,bridge-road, and a mere superficial plan had been
laid before him, without any information upon thatpoint
which was of the firer, and highest importance, as it stood
to reason that the effect of raising a road 16 feet, which
he thought was more likely to he from 20 to 25 'feet to
the ton of Southwark-bridge-road, would be to leave the
rest of the neighbourhood in a perfect swamp. He would
ask what would the inhabitants of that neighbourhood
say were he to sanction such a plan

-.Mr. RICHARDS expressed his astonishment tit the state
ment trade by Mr. Taylor, as he and his colleagues dis ,
tinctly understood that ;here were to be no gradients,
but that they were to pass westward by means of an arch
under the Southwark-bridge-road. The fact waq, theJ
deputation had been sold. (Laughter.)
Sir B. HALL—But if you go under Southwark-bridge-
road by means of an slob, how i.. the traffic over South-
wark-bridge to get into the main line of street ?
Mr. VICKERS—They will have to go round to it a little
distance. _

Sir B. HALL said be had no hesitation in saying that
the plan produced was mart objectionable, and he should
like to ask the gentlemen present whether they would
like their property to be left in a swamp by the gradients
proposed ?
The deputation replied in the negative.
Sir B. HALL said, teen they had no right to inflict such
injustice on the inhabitants ofSouthwarlr, and as to going
under Southwark-bridge-road, that was still mor3 objec-
tionable, as the traffic could not get down to it. it was
useless, therefore, to consider the plan farther.
The majority of the deputation acquiesced with the
right hon. baronet, and then retired.
