SELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with!'
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.

ber of guests present exceeded 1,000.
The loving cup having circulated,
The LORD MAYOR rose and proposed "the Health
of her Majesty the Queen," which was received
with loyal enthusiasm.
" The Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and
the rest of the Royal Family," were next given
ffom the chair, and duly honoured by the company.
The- LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Army
and Navy," coupling with the former service the
.name of Major-General Peel, and with the latter
the name of Sir J. Pakington.
General PEEL felt that it was onlyin consequence
of the position he held as Secretary of State for
War that he had been called upon to respond to the
toast on behalf of the army. He did not, however,
regard this compliment as one paid to an indivi-
dual. He attached a far higher value to it. He
looked upon it as a proof that the country was
satisfied with the services rendered by the army—
a satisfaction which extended to all grades of that
army, from the highest to the lowest. (Cheers.)
There was not an individual belonging to the army
who was not included in this tribute of approbation.
As he could not appropriate to himself any of the
praises which had been accorded to the army.. he
could state the more freely that, in his opinion,
there never was a time when the army of this
country was more entitled to the admiration of their
fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) He need scarcely allude to
the deeds which had recently been performed by that
army
in India, where
hereto a speedyandhehopedrmtii
tetrusintea termination;
and
would
bring the mutiny
when he stated that no less than 93,000 of her Ma-
jesty's troops were now in India, he thought no
doubt could be entertained that the rebellion must
soon be extinguished. Before sitting down he
might announce that the army had that day
received an addition which lie was sure would be
hailed with gratification, not only by every officer
in the service, but by every, Englishmen. In that
night's Gazette her Majesty announced that she had
appointed the Prince of Wales a colonel in the ser-
vice. (Cheers.) They had now, therefore, another
Royal Prince in the army • and he must express
his deep regret at the unavoidable absence of H.R.H.
the Commander-in-Chief (the Duke of Cambridge),
for he might say, without flattery, th at they were
indebted to his Royal Highness for the present dis-
cipline of the army, which had never been excelled
at any period. (Cheers.)
Sir. I. PAKINGTON returned thanks for the com-
pliment paid to the navy, and observed that it was,
satisfactory for him to feel, when he wa,s called upon
to acknowledge the toast in the preseme of distin-
guished officers of the naval service, that he was
more at liberty than they would lse to express his
conviction that the discipline and the high charac-

col-
leagues concurred with him in the conviction that
one of the first duties of the Administration of this
country was to take care that the efficiency of the
navy of England should be maintained. (Cheers.)
He believed if there was one point upon which Eng-
lishmen of all parties and of all stations were unani-
mous, it was that our naval strength was essential
to our national power. (Hear.) And nowhere, he
believed, was that feeling more strongly enter-
tained than in that great centre of our national com-
merce in which they were assembled. (Cheers.)
The merchant ships of England covered every sea.
Within the last few weeks fresh fields of enterprise
had been opened to their commerce, and he hoped
they would never forget that this gigantic world-
wide circulation ebbed and flowed from the little
heart of England. If anything were to arrest that
stream, no language could describe the ruin and
disaster that must result. England, if she was to be
prosperous, if she was to be peaceful, must main-
tain her naval strength ; and in. these days, when
the steam engine was essential to every man-of-war,
and when the size of our ships and the power of
their armaments were constantly increasing, he
trusted the country would remember that our naval
efficiency could not be maintained without a large
expenditure. The public had a right to expect that
this great department should be • managed' with•all
practicable economr, but they must also expect, and
he hoped they woulddemancl, that,ivhatever might
be the necessary expense, the Gowrnment should

keep the navy in a state of vigorous efficiency, and
maintain with firm resolve the supremacy of Eng-
land upon the seas. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Health of the
Foreign Ministers, present," coupling with the'toast
the name of his Excellency the French Ambassador.
(Drunk amid much applause.)
The Duke de MALAKHOFF, on rising to respond
was received with' loud and prolonged cheering.
He said he had to return his cordial thanks to the
Lord Mayor and the company there assembled for
the high honour just done to the corps diplomatique
in general, and to himself in particular. The efforts
of the Foreign Ministers resident at this Court were
directed towards the maintenance of peace and
harmony between the different nations- of Europe,
and thereby towards the promotion of their happi-
ness and prosperity. (Cheers.) He had the fullest
confidence in the profoup-d-wisdom of his Sovereign
and in his determination, consistent with the dig-
nity of his Crown and the preservation of his hon-
our, to do all in his power to prevent those conflicts
which might trouble the tranquillity of the world.
It was the sincere and earnest desire ofthe Emperor to
strengthen the friendly alliance between France
and England.--=a work to the accomplishment of
which, all his own personal exertions, as the repre-
sentative of his Majesty, were also strenuously,
directed. (cheers.k 13ut, quitting the domain of
'oblides he begged permission to propose a toast.
He asked them to join him in drinking " Prosperity
to the City of London and to England, and may
their commercial transactions be increased." (Loud
cheers, amid which his Excellency resumed his seat).
The LORD MAYOR then proposed, in highly eilo-
gistic terms, " The health of his predecessor in
office, Sir Robert Carden, M.P. " which was re-
ceived with much cordiality, anddialy acknowledgd.
The LORD MAYOR again rose, and proposed the
health of the Lord Chancellor. In doing-so, he-re-
marked that the elevation of his lordship to the
highest judicial post under the Crown had given
ardent satisfaction not only to every member of the
profession to which he belonged, but to his fellow
citizens at large. (Cheers.) It had been feared
that the state of political parties would have pre.
eluded his possession of the chief prize, but one of
the first, and he (the Lord Mayor) believed one of
the most popular acts of the present Ministry upon
coming into office, was to raise Lord Chelmsford to
the woolsack. (Hear, hear.) Since he had been
Chancellor he had proved that the "man had been
made for the place," not the " place for the man."
(Cheers.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in acknowledging the
toast, said he felt that the greater part of the com-
pliments just paid to him by the Lord Mayor were
due to the high office he held rather than to him-
self, but upon this great occasion, when homage was
being paid to every part of the constitution, it was
not likely that the law would be overlooked, aslthe
law, if properly administered, was the great secu-
rity for all popular power and principles. (Hear,
hear.) In preserving the privileges of the people
the law might be considered the outwork which
sheltered them from every assault. The amendment
and consolidation of the law must necessarily be a
work of time ; and speaking in the presence of
many veteran reformers, he was sure they would
agree with him that it would not be desirable to
attempt at one time more than they had power to
achieve. Some complained of the multiplicity of
our laws, and of the impossibility of simplifying
them. Now the object would be to remove that
which was obsolete, and consolidate that which
was scattered. He believed that at no period of
our history had the law been more impartially ad-
ministered than it was at 'the present moment,
when every man who entered a court of justice knew
that justice would be meted-cmt to him. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the health
of the Earl of Derby. (Loud cheers.) Since they
had last met in that hall, a change of Adminis-
tration had taken place, and the present Govern-
ment had had to carry out the measures propounded
by their predecessors, and place the Administration
of the country upon the best footing they could.
Having done so the session of Parliament came to
a close, but they were about et sing upca a new
session, which helai-p0 iYould be characterised by
measuressc-alling lorth the gratitude of the country
and of posterity. A wide and brilliant career lay
before the present advisers of the Crown. They
had 'an .opportunity presented them of reforming
the institutions of the country in accordance with
the wishes of the people. (Hear, hear.) They
might inscribe on their banner "retrenchment,
economy, and reform,' as regarded our expendi-
ture ; they had power to simplify and cheapen the
law ; they had power to introduce measures likely
to conduce to the material and moral wealth of the
people ; and they had the power still further to
develop the vast resources of India, China, and the
other countries of the East. He had great pleasure
in giving the " Health of the Right Hon. the Earl
of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers." (Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with much cordiality.
The Earl of DERBY, in rising to acknowledge the
toast, was received with loud cheers. He said—
My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, while I
feel it to be a high privilege to haie the honour of
an invitation to attend an assembly of 'this nature,
I hold it to be not less a duty than a pleasure on
the part of any public man who has the opportunity
of profitting by it to avail himself of this occasion,
and by his presence here to testify his respect for
that office which has this day been assumed by the
first magistrate of the first city
.in the world.
(Cheers.) Unfortunately these anniversaries occur
at a period of the year when most of those engaged
in the business of the nation are enjoying that re-
laxation from their Parliamentary labours, at a dis-
tance from the metropolis, which hardly enables
them to attend, and consequently comparatively few
of our public men are able to pay that tribute of
respect which is justly due to the chief magistrate
of London, in addition to those whose official duties
detain them in town, and at the same time procure
for them • the gratification we are now enjoy-
ing- (Hear, hear.) My Lord Mayor, on such oc-
casions as the present there is nothing, in the
ordinary sense of the won], of a political character;
there is nothing, I mean, of a party character ; all
party considerations and all opinions upon political
questions are here lost in a most useful and salutary
oblivion. These meetings are, as it were, the type
and evidence of that harmony which has always,
thank God, subsisted between the various classes of
those who, each in their separate departments, are
labouring for the public service. They give
an opportunity of testifying, on the one side and
on the other, that mutual r:spect which English-
men always feel for .the persons and situations
of those who to the best of their ability are dis-
charging public duties in the service of their
country. (Hear, hear.) 'We, my Lord Mayor, on
these occasions accept the honour of an invitation
not only as a mark of our personal respect for the
individual who presides over the affairs of this
metropolis, but as showing the veneration in
which we hold the high functions which you
are now called upon to discharge. (Cheers.)
You honour us with an invitation to this banquet
and you confer upon us the compliment which I am
now acknowledging, not for any personal merits of
our own, but because, by the favour of our Sovereign
we are engaged in the performance of arduous duties
which require the devotion of every faculty of our
minds, and the service of every hour of our time.
(Hear.) It may be permitted to me, holding the
situation which I do, and having the seep interest
-which I must have in the welfare of that country
the administration of whose affairs is, in great mea-
sure, confided to my charge, with feelings of thank-
fulness and gratification to compare the state of the
kingdom at this moment with that which unfortu-
tunately prevailed last year when, any Lord Mayor,
your predecessor assumed the office which you now
so worthily fill. It is not necessary for me, in order
to heighten the picture, to draw a contrast between
the then situation and the present, or to remindyou
of that condition of gloom, distress, and difficulty
which extended over the whole commercial world,
of which some here no doubt had painful experience,
and from which few indeed of those extensively en-
gaged in mercantile affairs can have escaped alto-
gether unscathed. (Hear, hear.) Nor is it necessary
for me to remind you of the apprehensions, the
doubts, and. the anxieties which existed with regard-
to that formidable revolt by which our Indian em-
pire was at that time shaken to its foundation. But,
my Lord Mayor, a brighter Picture is now before
us. I rejoice to think that there are all the indica-
tions in the country of returning prosperity. 'we
have been blessed by Almighty Providence with a
harvest of more than usual abundance, which, in
the south of the kingdom at least, has been col-
lected under circumstances of unparalleled success
and good fortune. We have a revenue which fully
equals the anticipations of my right hon. friend
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Money is abun-
dant. Trade and commerce are slowly, but, I hope,
sun ly reviving from the panic and distress of the
pa t unhappy year. Labour is amply remunerated;
the re is abundant
employment
for it, and as a
preof that the fact is so, I am able to state
t 1 at, whereas between September of last year
aud March of the present year there was a fearful
augmentation in the rate and extent of pauperism,
nct only has that augmentation altogether disap-

peared, but the amount of pauporism- in the last
week of September just past was considerably be-
low that of the corresponding week of September
of the previous year. Such, my Lord Mayor, is
our situation at home. Now let us cast our eyes
abroad, and I rejoice to say—and I say it with most
entire confidence—that we have every reason to
feel entire reliance upon the preservation to the
world at large of the inestimable blessings of peace.
(Cheers.) Ido not say that complications may not
• arise, or that differences may not present themselves
between different countries ; but this I do say—and
I say it with the confidence that I am speaking
nothing but the bare truth—that all the great
Powers of Europe are fully convinced, if not of the
sinfulness of war, at all events of the necessary
evils attendant upon a state of war' and that the
valuable labours of diplomacy are directed—and
never were they employed with more success and
more zeal than at the present time—to smooth diffi-
culties, to remove obstacles, and to find in every
difference which may occur between various Powers
a peaceable rather than a hostile solution. .(Cheers.)
Turning next to the great empire' of India if I
cannot say that the hostilities, or rather the blood-
shed, which are going on iere have altogether
ceased, I hope I may congratulate the country on
• the fact that, in the maim' the organised rebellion
is put down. For months—perhaps for years to
come—there will possibly be bands of marauders,
partly from desperation, partly from inclination,
harassing our troops, and disturbing the peace of
the country ; but, I repeat, the organised rebellion
is at an end, and after the season which 'has inter-
fered with our military operations has terminated,
I doubt not that the energy and abilities of Lord
Clyde, supported as he has been by large reinforce-
ments from this country, aided by the discretion and
judgment of the Governor-General, and also-
-1 may, perhaps, venture to express a hope, by
the gracious message of peace and mercy which
her Majesty was advised to send out upon her
accession to her Indian Empire—a message to all
classes of those who returned to their allegiance—
I trust that all these combined will shortly restore
not only the Atpremacy of our power, but tranquil-
lity and contentment to our extensive possessions
in Hindostan. If we go further eastward I rejoice
to think that the negotiations which have been. car-
ried on, and the measures which have been taken,
by her Majesty in conjunction with her august
ally the Emperor of the French, have led to a con-
clusion of those somewhat anomalous hostilities, of
the commencement and the origin of which I will
say nothing, but of which I rejoice to be able to say
that, without further bloodshed, they have now
been terminated, and that by a peace not less hon-
ourable to this country than I am persuaded it will
be advantageous to the interests of commerce and
civilisation generally. I should do gross injustice
to one of the most deserving public servants I know
if I did not take this, the earliest public opportu-
nity I have had, of declaring that for the success of
these negotiations England is deeply indebted to
the ability, the tact. the determination, and the
perseverance of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, the
Earl of Elgin. (Cheers.) By that distinguished
nobleman a further and most unexpected extension
of our commercial relations • has been negotiated
with the hitherto secluded, but not unimportant,
empire of Japan. (Cheere.) I believe that that
treaty, if properly made use of, will tend greatly to
extend the commercial interests of this country;
but I trust that, speaking in the midst of this great
commercial metropolis, I shall not be thought pre-
sumptuous or impertinent if I venture to say that
the advantages to be derived by this country will
greatly depend upon the good judgment, the peace-
able demeanour, and the orderly conduct of the
agents of those whose commercial enterprise may
lead them to embark in speculations in that distant
land. It is of the first importance—and I trust you
will forgive me for saying so—that those who go
out there as the pioneers of British commerce,
should be more careful than I am afraid our coun-
trymen have sometimes shown themselves to be
not to wound prejudices, to ridicule or trample
upon customs which appear strange to them, but
the violation of which cannot but produce, unfa-
vourable impressions of foreigners upon the minds
of natives with whom they are only beginning to
trade. I have drawn a picture—not lam sure an
exaggerated or a too flattering one—of the state of
our affairs both abroad and at home. Do I claim
credit on that account for her Majesty's present ad-
visers ? Ido no such thing. Much of what I have
said arises from causes wholly beyond their con-
trol. I speak not for the glorification of the Go--
vernment of which I am a member, but as an Eng-
lishman to an assembly of Englishmen to whom
the welfare and prosperity of their common country
cannot, to any one of them, be an object of indif-
ference. (Hear.) I have stated that I entertain the
most cordial and confident belief in the preserva-
tion of the peace of Europe, and in the presence of
some of those who worthily represent their respec-
tive Sovereigns in this country I trust I shall be
allowed to express the ground, and I may add the
policy, upon which, as far as this country is con-
cerned, I rest my confident hope that peace will
not be disturbed. My belief is that the policy on
the part of this country which is best calculated to
maintain the peace of the world. is, in the first
place, a firm but temperate maintenance of
our own rights ; in the next place, a stu-
dious and careful recognition of, and respect
for, the rights of others, together with an
anxious desire not to interfere unnecessarily
with the internal affairs of other States; and also
a determination not willingly to give or to take
offence; a determination, if offence unhappily arise,
to have reference to the principle which, to its
endless honour, was embodied in the protocols of
the Conference of Paris, viz., to resort in the first
instance not to hostilities but to the good offices
and the mediation of some friendly power. Last of
all, my Lord Mayor, I hold, as the cardinal point
of all our foreign poicy, the firm aid unflinching
adherence, in spirit as well as in the letter, to every
treaty obligation into which this country may have
entered. These are the principles on which her
Majesty's present Government desire to act; and
these are the principles which I should be indeed
deeply grieved and mortified if, whenever we have
to account to Parliament for any part of our con-
duct, we should not be able to show that we have
steadily adhered to and inflexibly maintained. The
result of these principles is this—that we are at
this moment upon the knost friendly terms with all
the great Powers of the world,without exception; and
more especially, I venture to say—corroborating
that which has already fallen from my gallant and
illustrious friend the noble marshal who so worthily
represents the Emperor of the French—that al-
although it is absurd to suppose that between any
two countries there can be on all subjects perfect
and entire. identity of feelings, yet that never was"
there a moment in the history of the two nations
when their relations stood upon a more perfectly
friendly footing, or' when on the one side and on
the other there was a more earnest desire, consis-
tently with the honour of both countries, to main-
tain that alliance which has so long subsisted for
their mutual happiness, or a:more firm and thorough
conviction that its maintenance is an incalculable
advantage not only to the two Powers them-
selves, but to the interests of the world at
large. In speaking of her Majesty's present
Government, my Lord Mayor, you have been
kind enough to give us a species of programme
for the coining session. That programme is
somewhat extensive, but you have omitted to show
us in what manner and by what assistance we may
be enabled to carry the whole of it into effect. (A.
laugh.) I cannot help thinking that the advice so
kindly tendered to her Majesty's Government was
hardly intended so much in the spirit of advice, as
thrown out to elicit an expression of our opinions.

(Hear, hear.) You have baited the hook, no doubt,
with great skill and address—(a laugh)—but some
of us have lived many years in the world and have
learned to be somewhat cautious-. We do not intend
to take the bait. (Laughter.) We prefer to be
judged by' our actions rather than by our inten-
tions, by our performances rather than by our pro-
mises, and, with whatever respect I may regard
this important assembly, I cannot persuade myself
that this is an occasion on which to anticipate the

But we shall not forget that those institutions
were not the -creation of a day tr the simultane-
ous production of a single generation ; that, on the
contrary,. they have been formed by successive
additions and improvements ; that they possess a
flexibility-which enablcs,thern to be adapted to the
growing intelligence and the
.growing wants and
requirements of each successive generation ; and,
though I may be unable to-satisfy your Lordship's
very natural-curiosity as to the precise nature of
the measures which we shall bring forward, I ven-
ture to assure yoll that they will be couched in a
spirit of not endeavouring to serve this or that sec-
tion of the community, but the whole people—not
, to legislate- for the high or for the low, for the rich
or for the poor, but for the well-understood benefit
and advantage of all classes. (Cheers.) As I have
said that those institutions under which we have
the happiness to live are only an aggregate of suc-
cessive improvements heaped up by successive
generations, so I trust that -when the present
Government comes to a close it will not -do so with-
out leaving something in the shape of a contribu-
tion to those improvements which it- is our anxious
and earnest desire to make, consistently with the
maintenance of the great fundamental institutions
of the country. (Cheers.) I must apologise for
haying.dctained you so long, yet I beg to assure
you that if the Government required any stimulus
to exertion—if any additional motives were wanted
to induce them to devote their best faculties of
mind and body to the duties in which they are en-
-gaged—they would be found in the kind and cordial
reception which you have given to.us this evening;
for, to deserve the esteem of such an assembly as
the present, and of our fellow countrymen generally,
is the highest aim of our ambition as it is the best
reward of our labours in the public service. (Cheers.)
The noble earl concludedby proposing "The Health
of the Lord Mayor.".
The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the com-
pliment, and proposed " The House of Lords," asso-
ciating with the toast the name of Lord Brougham.
The toast having been duly honoured,
Lord BROUGHAM rose to respond.—He ascribed
the honour which had been done him to the fact
that he had the privilege of being a citizen of Lon-
don—a privilege which he highly esteemed. The
city of Lsndon had been well described as the
cradle of our liberties, and he believed it would
long remain true to its ancient traditions. The
purity of the judicial bench and the independence
of the bar were the best securities for rational free-
dom. In this country the bar had always upheld
its independence, and in France, too, the same hon-
ourable profession had displayed equal courage and
fearlessness. He believed that the bar of France
would, in the worst of times—in worse times even
than any yet seen in that country—continue to be
animated by the same noble spirit.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " The health of the
Judges," which was cordially received and suitably
acknowledged by Lord Chief Baron Pollock.
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Chancellor of
the Exchequer and the House of Commons," which
was received with great applause.
Mr. DISRAELI—I rise on behalf of the House of
Commons, which it is my high honour to represent
on this occasion, to thank you for the compliment
which no w and ior many generations has been offered
on this anniversary by the corporation of London
to that assembly—cordially offered, I believe, and
cordially accepted. Nor is it wonderful that there
should be this reciprocity of feeling between the
House of Commons and the corporation of this great
city, when we recollect that the history of our eoun-
try contains a record of their united efforts on so
many memorable occasions to establish and to vin-
dicate the liberties of England. We cannot forget
that in more than one instance the House of Com-
mons has found, not only support, but security in
the city of London—that on more than one occa-
sion it has appealed to its love of freedom
and its public spirit under circumstances of
great difficulty. (Hear, hear.) Believe me, my
lords and gentlemen, the recollection of those times,
trying and critical in the history of our constitution,
is still fresh in the memory of the House of Com-
mons. These things are not hooked upon by that
assembly as musty legends, but the glorious tradi-
tion has at all times influenced its opinions, and I
trust the day may never arrive when between the
House of Commons and the citizens of London there
may not be identity of sentiment. and identity of
interest. (Cheers.) On their part I beg to return
you their thanks, and I hope the time is far distant
when their health will be proposed in this chamber
without being recognised as that of a body entitled
to the support and gratitude of
.Englishmen.
(Cheers.)
Among the remaining toasts were—" The Sheriffs
of London and Middlesex," " The Bishop of Lon-
don and the Clergy," " The Lady Mayoress,"" The
Bar of England. and Sir R. tethell," and " The
Members for the City and Lord J. Russell."
The musical arrangements, which were excellent,
were under the direction of Mr. Henry. Ball, in the
vocal department, and Mr. Godfrey, jun., in the
instrumental department. The band of the Gre-
nadiers performed several admired operatic selec-
tions during the banquet.
The dinner was supplied by the Messrs. Staples,
whose arrangements were of the most satisfactory
order. The following was the generall bill of fare:-
250 tureens of real turtle, containing 5 pints
each ; 200 bottles of sherbet, 6 dishes of fish, 30
entres, 4 boiled turkeys and oysters, 60 roast pul-
lets, 60 dishes of fowls, 46 ditto of capons, 50
French pies, 60 pigeon pies ; 53 hams, ornamented ;
43 tongues, two quarters of house lamb, 2 barons
of beef, 3 rounds of beef, 2 stewed rumps of beef,
13 sirloins, rumps, and ribs of beef; 6 dishes of
asparagus, 60 dishes of mashed and other po-
tatoes ; 44 dishes of shell-fish, 4 dishes of prawns,
140 jellies, 50 blancmanges, 40 dishes of
tarts, creamed ; 4b dishes of almond pastry, 30
dishes of orange and other tourtes, 20 Chantilly
baskets, 60 dishes of mince pies, and 56 salads.
The Removes.-80 roast turkeys, 6 leverets, 80
pheasants, 24 geese, 40 dishes of partridges, 15
dishes of wild fowl, and 2 pea fowls.
Dessert.-100 pineapples, from 21b. to 31b. each;
200 dishes of hothouse grapes ; 250 ice creams, 50
dishes ofapples, 100 dishes •of pears, 60 ornamented
Savoy cakes, 75 plates of walnuts, 80 plates of dried
fruits and preserves, 50 plates of preserved ginger,
60 plates of rout cakes and chips, 46 plates of
brandy cherries.

Mr: Harker acted with his usual efficiency as
toastmaster.

FISHMONGERS' CO.:III'4NY.

The Prime Warden and livery of this ancient
corporation entertained a large and distinguished
company yesterday evening at their hall, including
the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ebury, Sir C. Bright,
Mr. G. Moore, Mr. Cunliffe, and several of the
leading merchants of London.
Mr. Thomas Baddington,. the Prime Warden,
presided. The usual toasts of the Queen, the Royal
family, and the military and naval services having
been honoured, the Prime Warden gave, " The
House of Lords and the House of Commons.
Lord EBURY, in returning thanks, remarked
that, although in his 25 years' experience in the
House of Commons, he might perhaps be better
able to speak as to the claims of that body upon
the respect of the country than to those of the
House of Lords, he could state that his short ex-
perience in the louse of Lords in no way diminished
the respect he had always entertained for that
assembly since his first entrance into public life ;
and he was sure it would be gratifying to the mem-
bers of it to know that their healths had been
drunk by a body that, while it had never failed to
assert the independence of the Commons Of Eng-
land, had at the same time evinced their respect for
the House of Lords and "the powers that be."
The PRIME WARDEN proposed " The Health of
the Earl of Shaftesbury."
The toast was drunk with three times three.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in returning thanks
for the honour -which had been conferred upon him,
at
expressed much gratificationhaving been in-
vited by the Worshipful Fishmongers' Company to
that magnificent hall, to partake on this occasion
of their generous hospitality; and he acknowledged,
moreover, the special tokens of approbation which
had just been'conferredupon him for the course he
had thought it his duty
to pursue: He hoped these
commendations would e.ncourage others to go on in
after h
the same course aft
and that their exertions
would be blessed by God with greater success. The
chairnian had touched upon one matter of great in
terest to this city, and the whole community—the
education of the masses of the people. Now, he
must say that at least for some time to come—
though
hough lie knew not what might be done hereafter
--no combined and national system could be esta-
blished. But we ought not to lose the present
time, or throw away the present opportunities,
and while some were deliberating about the system
of education to be adopted, it would be well to use
II eh instraments' a d o yolk upon f•uch
as were- already at hand. There were thou Sandi
an I millions of th 3 population yet to be brolighi
within the sound of the Gospel, yet needing to be
instructed in all the branches of useful and secular
