delaying the start for some time. When the flag fell
Gladiolus and Feodorowna were the first to show in front,
the next lot being The Alderman, The Nun, King of
Algiers, and Petra. Light and The Brewer ran side by
side, Herne and Moorcock the last two. In this order they
ran past the Stand to the Canal-bridge turn, when The
Nun went up to the leaders, racing with Feodorowna until
the turn entering the straight, where the two were beaten,
and Light went to the front, closely waited upon by Gladio-
lus and The Brewer. Half-way up the straight The Brewer
went up to Light, and waited on him to the half distance, a
most exciting race terminating in favour of the old horse by
a neck. There was a length between Light and Gladiolus,
and a similar distance separated Gladiolus from Dread-
nought. Ben Webster was fifth, Petra sixth. The Alder-
man and Moorcock were the next pair. Heiress, Feodo-
rowna, The Nun, and Herne were the last lot, the latter

PUOILISAt.

THE CHAMPION'S BELT.

This trophy was to have been given to Hurst on Friday,
to enable him to make a triumphal entry therein to Staley,
bridge, but owing to the misconduct of Tom Sayers, to
whom it was lent for a special object some weeks back, and
by whom it was not returned, we aro unable to hand it
over. Sayers applied to us for the loan of the belt for one
week when he was to take a benefit in- the north, and we
willingly lent it on his undertaking to return it to Mr.
Hancock, the jeweller, in whose custody we had places it,
at the expiration of the week. We naturally expected he
had kept his word; but on Friday, when application was
made to Mr. Hancock, we discovered that Sayers had never
been near the place since he obtained the belt. We think,
after the numerous kindnesses he has received at our hands,
such conduct as this is most unpardonable. He knew per-
fectly well that the fight for the Championship had taken
place, and that the belt would be required, and yet he took
no steps whatever to return it, nor did he even let us know
his whereabouts so that we might communicate with him.
It strikes us that prosperity has raised this man so much
above himself that he is utterly selfish, and thinks of no-
thing beyond his own ends. We must request that he in-
stantly take steps to forward the belt either to ourselves or
to Sam Hurst, at Mr. Hyde's, White House, Staleybridge,
paying all expenses of carriage, &C. We have learned a
lesson by Tom's conduct on this occasion which we shall
not easily forget.—Bell's ',fie.

A new hospital, under the title of the North
London Hospital, for consumption and diseases of the
chest, has been opened for in-door patients as well as those
requiring to be visited at their own homes, at Russell-
.

place, Fitzroy-square.
The dollars brought by the Mexican steamer
have been disposed of at 621 d. per ounce, thus establishing
an advance of id. on the price realised for those which ar-
rived in the middle of last month. Small amounts have,
however, been sold in the meantime at the present rate, and
also at 62gd. The bar silver by the same packet is not yet
sold,

the allegorical figures of England, Scotland, and
Ireland, surrounded by the navy, the army, and the
rifle corps. Over these shone the feathers of the
Prince of Wales, of spun glass, nine feet in height,
with the American flag. The western end was
illuminated by the beautiful cut-glass star from
Messrs. Copeland's, decorated with flags. In the
centre of each compartment of the hall was a mili-
tary trophy, composed of rifles, swords, and bayo-
nets, surmounted alternately with the head of
Medusa. These trophies were bound together with
shields, on which were emblazoned the Royal and
City arms, with medallions of the Sovereign and
the Royal lion. Numberless flags of all nations
floated round the halls, alternated with suits of
ancient armour furnished from the Tower of Lon-
don. The various ante-rooms were converted into
reception rooms, and were decorated with sculpture
and pictorial and floral devices. The company
began to arrive about 5 o'clock. The Sardinian
Ambassador was loudly cheered on entering the
hall ; Lord Palmerston, Lord J. Russell, and
Lord Brougham were also very warmly received.
NearlfT,ooo- guests sat down to dinner. The
Lord Mayor presided, and on his right sat the
retiring Lord Mayor, on his left the Lady
Mayoress, with the late Lady Mayoress. Then on

Harvey, Sir F. L. Rogers, Mr. C. S. Fortescue,
M.P., Mr. C. L. Ryan, the Hon. E. Ashley, and
Sir John Pollen and Lady Pollen.
After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured
The LORD MAYOR gave the " Army, Navy, and
Volunteer Forces," highly eulogising the efficiency
which had been attained by the volunteers in the
short period of their existence.
General PEEL returned thanks for the army and
the volunteers. In the term volunteers were com-
bined all the three services, for it was the proud
boast of Rncland thzt thorc was not a man serving"
in her armies or fleets who was not a volunteer.
(Cheers.) The distinguished success which had
recently been achieved by our army and navy in
China, in conjunction with our noble allies, called
for signal acknowledgment. (Cheers.) The French
and English forces on that occasion had shown that
cordial co-operation for which they had always been
distinguished, and they had evinced the same gal-
lantry as upon a former occasion when they unfor-
tunately failed. But that failure had now been
thoroughly atoned for, and he hoped that, even at
the risk of being described by the Chinese authori-
ties as begging for mercy, what had taken place
would lead to the conclusion of a war in which the
Chinese themselves took no interest, and to the re-
storation of peaceful relations, from which alone
France and England could gain any advantage in
their intercourse with China. (Cheers.)
The Duke of SOMERSET, in returning thanks
for the navy, said that in whateverquarter of the
globe the navy might be engaged, whatever perils
they might have to undergo, he was convinced that
British seamen would do their duty, and would
show themselves worthy of their . predecessors.
(Cheers.) With regard to the late operations in
China all must rejoice that that gallant officer
(Admiral Hope) had had an opportunity of
triumphing gloriously in those waters where last
year he failed. (Cheers.) He could not help giving
expression to the regret which the country must
feel at the recent death of two of its most distin-
guished naval heroes—Lord Dundonald and Sir C.
Napier, men whose gallantry had been pre-emi-
nently displayed wherever the service of their
country called them. Should need again arise he
felt sure that other heroes would arise equally de-
voted in the cause of their country. (Cheers.)

" Prosperity to the City of London and its Com-
merce" was next drunk, and
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The health of the
late Lord Mayor," highly eulogising the manner in
which he had discharged the duties of his office.
Alderman CARTER returned thanks in suitable
terms.
The LORD MAYOR next gave the health of the
" Foreign Ministers," coupling with it the name of
Count Persigny, the French Ambassador.
Count PERSIGNY, in reply, said—
" Milord Maire et Messieurs,—Je suis certain que
les vceux qui viennent d'6tre exprime's pour la con-
tinuation de la pair seront accueillis avec une rive
satisfaction par tout ]e corps diplomatique I
Londres. I'en vois la preuve dans cet esprit de
sagesse et de moderation qui se remarque si
heureusement dans la conduite des Gouvernements

Europeens, et surtout dans les sacrifices que d'une
maniere on d'une autre tortes les grandes puissances
font a la pair generale. (Cheers.) Quant aux
paroles amicalos que le Lord Maire addressees a la
France et a son auguste Souverain, je l'em remercie
profondemont. Ce n'est pas la premiere fois qu'au
milieu des preoccupations de l'esprit public la Cite
de Londres a exprime des sentiments de confiance
et de securite. La raison en est simple ; avec cet
esprit pratique des affaires qui a eleve cette grande
cite a un si haut point de richesse et de puissance,
elle a vu la premiere ce que bien des hommes
politiques ne semblent pas encore comprendre suffi-
sament ; c'est qu'au lieu de ces rivalites d'interet
que nous rencontrions jadis sur touts les points du
monde, it est arrive, par le developpement de notre
vie industrielle et commerciale, que non seule-
ment un grand nombre d'interets nous soot d
t cpoamr-t

aucun interet hostile. (Cheers.) ciuoin

seas a great number of interests in common, but
that no longer in any part of the world have we
any interest that is hostile. Why, then, these anxie-
ties, these suspicions, these mistrusts, which on

every incident of policy are generated on both sides
of the Channel ? It is because we cannot efface in a
day the traces of so many centuries of rivalry and
strife ; it is because, in spite of ourselves, and un-
wittingly, we are both of us still too much disposed
to look at the events of the present through the

magnifying and deceptive glasses of the recollec-
tions of the past. But, thank heaven, the reason,
the good sense, the interests of the two nations,
tend every day to dissipate these falsifying mi-
rages ; for every day men's minds are more clearly
and more positively impressed with this main con-
sideration, that, having everything to lose and no-
thing to gain by new contests, the two nations can
mutually derive as many benefits from peace as they
could inflict injuries on themselves by war. That,
gentlemen, is the true truth; that is what we un-
derstand in France, as well as you can understand
it in England ; that, in short, is the meaning of the
great economical revolution which the Emperor has
just accomplished in France by the treaty of com-
merce, and of which the vast compass, in propor-
tion as it becomes more known and better appre-

ciated in England, will confound the accusation of
which we have been the object, and will further
cement peace between the two countries.
The next toast was "The Lord Chancellor," in
reply to which
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the lawyers
did not confine themselves to serving the country
in their profession only, but when occasion arose
they were ready to serve it with the sword. He
himself had been a volunteer in his time—(cheers)
—and had had the honour of being reviewed by
George 111., in an army of 100,000 volunteers.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Health of
Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's Ministers."

The toast was drunk with great uuchuslastn.
Lord PALMERSTON, who on rising was loudly
cheered, said,—For myself and on behalf of try col-
leagues I beg to return you our most grateful
thanks for the honour which you have done us by

thus drinking and receiving our healths. For my-
self, I may be allowed to say that it is a particular
pleasui.e to me that this compliment should be paid
to the Government of which I am a member by one
whom I claim as a Hampshire neighbour, as well
as the respected chief of this great metropolis.
(Cheers.) I can assure you, gentlemen, that it al-
ways affords to those who are charged with grave
responsibilities, a great and heartfelt pleasure to be
able to mix the gravity of their responsibilities with
festivities of this kind. It is, moreover, a great
advantage to those who are charged with the con-
duct of affairs to be able not only to do homage at
the shrine of that commerical principle which forms
a material element in the greatness and prosperity
of the country, but also, by associating with those
who are practically conversant with the working of
our commercial system, to be able to compare with
the results of practice those theories according to
which they have been taught that the affairs of men
in commerce ought to be conducted. I am happy
that it does not fall to my lot on the present occa-
sion to meet you, as has sometimes been the case
with Ministers who have been invited to these as-
semblages, with gloomy forbodings which it was
their task and their duty to endeavour to dispel. It
is gratifying at the present moment to be able to say
that whether we look to the state of our industry at
home, to the development of our commerce abroad,
to the successes of our arms where, unhappily, our
arms have been compelled to act, to our relations
with foreign Powers, friendly as they are with
all the world, excepting only the country with
which we are now engaged in a contest, or whether
we look to the prospects of general peace, I am
happy to say that wherever we turn our eyes the
prospect is, at all events, satisfactory. (Cheers.)
Allusion has been made to those brilliant successes
which, in concert with the arms of our great ally,
our gallant army and navy have achieved in the
remote regions of China. It must, indeed, be a
pride and satisfaction to every Englishman to see
that the prowess of our two services is as great and
distinguished as ever, and that under whateverthffi
,
culties they may be called upon to perform eir
duties, their exertions and their exploits Will be
always equal to any recorded in the pages of
e circumstance
history. (Cheers.) But there rise n

of thoso with whom
entlem
gen, wo ought to draw a still
Lord Mayor and
more important lesson from that most happy fact.
If the forces of the two armies had Rot been equal
—if one expeditionary force had been greater or
more powerful than the other—l am greatly afraid
that the frailty of human nature might have
stepped in to mar the harmony which ought to have
prevailed ; that jealousies and bickerings, in spite
of the best intentions, might have found their way
into the two camps, and dissensions might have
taken the place of cordiality and harmony. If that
be true with regard to forces co-operating on a par-
ticular service, still more true is it with regard to
the condition of a great nation like that to which we
belong. It is one essential condition of perfect
harmony between great nations that there should
be a perfect and complete equality of force.
( Hear, hear.) There is one point in
which this country cannot be equal to the
great Powers of the Continent—l mean in that
vast amount of military fore: which it is the habit
of these Continental Powei., to maintain in time
of peace. It would not be wise, it is not desirable
that Great Britain should imitate their example
and should have a standing army rivalling in no
..a
bars--in bravery, discipline, courage, and exPl

French Emperor, of overcoming long-standing pre-
judices and giving full effect to different theories of
commerce, will be followed by other Governments
of the Continent not yet so far advanced in com-
mercial enlightenment, and that from year to year
we shall find those commercial relations which are
the surest links of peace and amity gradually and
rapidly extending throughout the whole of the)
European Continent. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. GLADSTONB proposed " The Health of the
Lord Mayor." In any case, he said, it must be a
source of pride and gratification to those who as-
sembled at this hospitable board to testify their
acknowledgments for the magnificent reception
accorded to them. But there were other and higher
reasons which led them to take pleasure in thus
evincing their feeling towards the Lord Mayor.
The choice of the citizens of London was certain to
fall upon a worthy object of dignity and honour.
The gentleman who now occupied the civic chair
was too well:known to those present to render it ne-
cessary tolenter into details upon the nwrits which
had recommended him to favourable noitiee ; but
he might venture to say that the Lord Mayor
was also well known to, and was not less re-
spected by, those who sat in the Commons Hone()
of Parliament, as a man of thoroughly index
pendent character, and of a capacity which
rendered him worthy to be invested with the
high trust of representing the interests, the wishes
and the feelings of the people. (Cheers.) In the
Lord Mayor :of London :they saw no unfit repre-
sentative of that municipal system which was so
closely connected with the liberties they so highly
prized. Five centuries had passed over the hall
in which they now were gathered and it was left
still as firm and as able to withstand the vicissi-
tudes of the elements as it was on the day it was
founded. In the same manner the local institutions
of the city, still later in their date, yet retained
down to this hour a vigorous life. Whenever re-
formation was applied it was always applied to
them in a spirit of reverence and caution—(hear,
hear)—and they came out from it, as had been seen
on a thousand occasions, fresher and stronger than
before. (Cheers.) In the name of this company
he wished health and prosperity to the Lord Mayor,
who, he hoped, would emulate the name of those
who had gone before him, would hand down his
own name with honour to those who came After
him, and would be the means of inciting those who
now were less advanced in their career and of infe-
rior station, by the prospect of a reward of in-
dustry, perseverance, and high character, to those
meritorious exertions which in this free country, he

was proud to say, seldom failed to command encou-
ragement and to insure success. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the toast, and.
called on the company to drink to " The House of
Lords," coupling with the toast the name of Lord

Brougham.
Lord BROUGHAM, who was loudly cheered on
rising, in reply said that not only was he a mem-
ber of the body the health of which had just been
proposed, but he was also a member of the body
which had drunk the health. For 40 years and
upwards he had been a citizen of London, and
proud he felt of being a fellow-citizen of those
who at all times had been the constant friends
of liberty in all, even the worst times, who had
met oppression at home with a vigorous resis-
tance, and had vowed to oppression abroad,
where they could not meet it with resistance, an
unextiuguishable and implacable hatred. It was
gratifying to him to reflect on the reason for which
he had been made a citizen of London. He had been
selected for the honour as having on a memorable
occasion exercised the privileges and performed the
duties of the renowned profession to which he bo-
longed in the defence of a client who was oppresssd
.
by the Court. That illustrious advocate and splendid
master of forensic eloquence, Erskine, always said
that those who would be the friends of the people
should evince it by being thedefenodfetrhs

equally distinguished for his gallant and invincible
resistance to all encroachments either on the part
of the judges or the government of the country.toe 11r.or n.
Berryer had of late adopted a desponding tone
this important subject—too desponding, he trusted •
and he hoped that that illustrious advocate would
be long spared to display that untameable indepen-
dence which had made him for so riA
—any years the
ornament of the French bar.

The next toast was " Her Majesty's Judges,"
which was acknowledged by the Lord Chief Baron.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The House of
Commons," coupling with the toast the name of
Lord J. Russell.

Lord J. RUSSELL (wh
reply
handled, sa i almost inaudible) in
dthat, whateve°r was
be the subject to be
gever whether relating to foreign policy, to colo-
nialmestic legislation, there
nment, or to do
was no doubt that, even after it had been discussed
by an enlightened press, after men of the most acute
minds had thrown light upon it in various ways, a
discussion in the House of Commons brought for-
ward the argument best fitted for the consideration
of the subject, and most calculated to lead to a
proper judgment upon it. He would not
say that there might not be occasions dis
when
a disposition was shown to prolong those -
cussions perhaps further than necessary, and
as there were faults in all institutions, so
it must be admitted that there might be faults in
the House of Commons. He had been much grati-
fied to hear the sentiments expressed by the French
Ambassador. (Cheers.) They were calculated to
lead to the extension of commerce, to peace, and to
t be union of the various nations of thF earth. (Cheers.)

The musical arrangements were under the direc-

supplied by Messrs. Staples.
