TICE INAUGcRATION BANQUET AT
.TIIE LEEDS TOWNHAL,L.

The inauguratiA •of 'the Leeds Town-hall on
Tuesday last was followed by a "hanquet, given by
the Mayor of Leeds, Sir Peter Fairbairn, to about
300 of the principal ladies and gentlemen, who had
been previously invited to the inauguration. The
banquet took place in the large hall, which will
virtually be known by the name of " the Town-
hall." His Worship the Mayor presided over the
repast.
Mr. Harker, of London, officiated as toastmaster,
and discharged the duties of his responsible office
in a.most exemplary manner. The Bishop of Ripon
acted as chaplain, and said grace before and after
the banquet.
In proposing the first toast after the banquet,
The MAYOR said,—My lords, ladies, and gentle-
men,—The first toast I have to propose to you is
that of her Majesty the Queen—a lady who is
endeared to us and to a great portion of the uni-
verse as the most constitutional monarch that ever
reigned in their country. If we look at her in that
character, we find that she has on all occasions
acted up to the constitution of this country, and
she well deserves that which she has so fully
earned—the love and veneration of the whole of
her subjects. But, my lords and gentlemen, when
we consider her in the character of a wife, we find
that she possesses all the attributes which are neces-
sary to endear her to the husband she has chosen
to accompany her through life ; and if we go still
further and look at her as a mother, we find that
she sets her children an example which it would
be well if all the mothers in England were to fol-
low. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) She has done
us, the inhabitants of the West Riding of the county
of York, the honour of visiting us on this occasion,
and she therefore deserves the thanks of Yorkshire-
men. lam sure I need not appeal to Yorkshire-
men to, ensure a hearty reception to this toast,
because I know you all entertain a profound sense
of her Majesty's admirable and endearing qualities.
(Cheers.) She has opened this magnificent hall,
and has expressed to me personally hr high grati-
fication at the taste and consummate wisdom which
have erected so magnificent an edifice. (Loud
cheering.) Her Majesty has also stated to me
her high gratification at the very. warm and
enthusiastic reception she has met with in this town
—(loud cheers)—and that we should have a place
in her recollection to the latest period of her
existence. (Renewed cheering.) Ido not ask you
to drink the health of the Queen merely as a pass-
ing toast, for I know that, as Yorkshiremen and
Englishmen, you will do your duty. I, therefore,
call upon you, without any further observation's,
to drink the " health of our beloved Queen."
(Enthusiastic cheering.)
The toast was drunk with the heartiest manifes-
tations of loyalty.
The MAvoR said the next toast he had to propose
was that of " theAlrince Consort." (Applause."
After observing that his Royal Highness wa,s a most
worthy husband of the Queen, his worship said that
the Prince Consort had taken great interest in the
proceedings connected with the inauguration of the
Town-hall, and he had also shown the general
interest which he felt in the arts and sciences by
visiting that morning a very interesting exhibition
which was at the present time open in Leeds—the
Exhibition of local industry. (Applause.) He had
had the pleasure of going round that exhibition
with his Royal Highness, who had shown an
amount of knowledge respecting many of the articles
exhibited which was really. surprising. (Applause.)
He believed that the Prince Consort felt a deep
interest in the arts and manufactures ofthis country.
and that he was on all occasions ready to render
his assistance towards their advancement. (Cheers.)
When the assembly remembered the great advan-
tage which was derived from a person of so much
influence as his Royal Highness taking an in-
terest in everything contributing to the welfare
and prosperity of the country, he was sure that
they would join with him in drinking "the health
of the Prince Consort" with all the honours due to
the exalted position which he occupied. (Cheers.)
The toast having been enthusiastically drunk,
The MAYOR next gave, "the Prince of Wales
and the rest of the Royal family." (Applause.) ,
The MAYOR then proposed" the Army and Navy.'
The country, he observed was, deeply indebted
to the two services, and for the 18 months it had
been specially indebted to the army. (Applause.)
By their exploits in India the British soldiers had
covered themselves with immortal glory. (Ap-
plause.) They had preserved to England the whole
of India, and Leeds, as a large manufacturing town,
ought to be doubly grateful to the army for the
deeds which they had performed during that
period. (Applause.) If he referred to the suffer-
ings and horrible events which had occurred during
that period in India it made the blood curdle in his
veins, but no sufferings had been more extensive
than those which had been endured by the greater
portion of the army in India. (Applause.) He
believed that a brighter day was dawning, that the
mutiny had been suppressed, and it was merely a
work of time to restore perfect peace to the empire.
Applause.) It was the duty of Englishmen, how-
ever, to show their love for the army, and. that the;
were determined to see it in a state of efficienc:
(Cheers.)
Sir HARRY SMITII, K.C.8., returned thanks.

After what had been so ably expressed by the
Mayor as to the conduct of the army, there was
little left for him (Sir Harry) to say, but that the
army deeply appreciated the gratitude of their
countrymen, and that the proudest satisfaction of
the British soldier was to feel that his Queen
rewarded his services by distinction and his country
was grateful to him for his services. (Cheers.)
Such was the proud ambition of England to main-
tain her vast territory in, a state of order and quiet
that 80,000 soldiers had been raised within the last
18 months by voluntary enlistment—(loud applause)
—and on the men of England being asked to come
forth and defend their country, they were ever
ready to rally round the standard of England.
(Applause.) In Leeds there had been the oppor-
tunity of witnessing that day a body of men turned
out in honour of her Majesty to whom he might
allude in the highest terms—he meant the
Yeomanry. (Applause.) The regiment which they
had seen that day was fit for service in any country.
(Applause.)
Lieutenant-Colonel BECKETT, of the Yorkshire
Hussars, also responded to the toast.
The MAYOR next proposed " the Clergy," and
alluded in complimentary terms to the services and
character of the Bishop of Ripon, and Dr. Hook,
the Vicar of Leeds.
The Bishop of RIPON returned thanks.
Colonel BECKETT, in giving the next toast, said,
'that he was sure it would be most acceptable to the
assembly, the object of it being to enable them to
do honour to that municipal body to whose judg-
ment, good taste, and indefatigable exertions the
erection of the Town-hall was owing. (Applause.)
In proposing the health of the Mayor and Corpora-
tion of Leeds he ventured to say that, if the benefits
arising from popular elections and municipal go-
vernments required any proof, there would be a
illustration under the administration of the mayor
and corporation of Leeds. (Applause.)
The MAYOR responded to the toast on behalf of
himself and the corporation. He said there were
many things yet to be done, not so much for the
benefit of the upper classes of society as for the

working people. (Hear.) The Town-council, how-
ever, were not inclined to do too much at once, but
they would go on gradually, and. they would always
endeavour to discharge their duties efficiently and
satisfactorily. (Applause.) After alluding to the
erection of the Town-hall, the Mayor said that he felt
considerable diffidence in speaking of himself ; for,
although a high honour had been conferred upon
him
-that day, he believed that it was intended as a

mark of honour to the inhabitants of this large and
important borough, as well as to himself. (Ap-
plause.) He felt, and he believed that the corpora-
tion did also, the great condecension of the Queen
in kavian come to Leeds to inaugurate the Town-
hall, and he was sure that her Majesty was de-
serving of the gratitude of the corporation, as well
as of the whole inhabitants of the borough and of
the West Riding. (Applause.)
" The West Riding Members" was afterwards
given by the CHAIRMAN, who, in proposing it re-
ferred to the great number of years during which
the interests of the West Riding have been repre-
sented by Mr. Denison, who, he observed, was emi-
nently entitled to the thanks of his constituents.
(Applause.) The Mayor also alluded to the
services of the other member for the Riding, Lord
Goderich.

Mr. E. DENISON, M.P., responded to the toast
on behalf of himself. In the course of his speech
he suitably alluded to the condescension of her Ma-
jesty in having come to Leeds and inaugurated the
Town-hall, and he then observed that the objects

for which the building had been erected were in-
numerable, but they were all tending in the right
directions (Applause.)
Lord GODERICII responded to the toast, and was
recd.\ cd. with much applause, as was also Mr. Deni-
son. (Applause.) His Lordship then directed the
attention of the assembly to the toast which hu wns
about to propose—namely, " Proverity to the town
and trade of Leeds." (Applause,), He glanced at
the importance of the manufacturing interest of the
country, and, after alluding to the trade of Leeds,
he concluded by expressing a hope that God might
bless the town with continued prosperity and with
increasing happiness. (Applause.)
Mr. J. GOTT responded, and proposed " The health
of the members for the borough of Leeds."
The Right Hon. M. T. BAINES returned thanks,
and congratulated the corporation upon the erection
of the Town-hall. _ _ _

Mr. G. S. BEECROFT, M.P., said that day had
been a great and auspicious one for the free and
loyal inhabitants of the ancient and flourishing
town of Leeds. (Hear.) As an architectural speci-
men the building in which they were assembled for
festive purposes would be highly creditable to any
town or city in this land, or in the world. (Cheers.
To-day the Sovereign had visited Leeds, on the in-
vitation of the chief magistrate. She le:i; behind
her blessings and honours, cheerful faces, and plea-
sant recollections. (Applause.) As a token of her
good feeling and sympathyl as a bond of union _be-
tween ruler and subject, a sign of reciprocal esteem
and affection, we accept her ,visit : and in the in-
terest of the people, over whom the rules so wisely,
so prudently, so well, interests always of paramount
importance, they said from their heart of hearts,
" God save the Queen."
The Eight Hon. M. T. BAINES said he had the
honour of proposing a toast, which he thought the
assembly would be ungrateful indeed if they were
to omit to receive with anything less than enthusi-
astic applause. He rose to propose the health of
the Mayor of this borough. (Cheers.) He should
do so in a very few words, as his hearers all knew
the extraordinary skill, perseverance, resolution,
and unquenchable and invariable energy with which
the Mayor had prosecuted, and at last brought
about, the great work which had to-day been cele-
brated. (Applause.) They had also seen proofs
without number of the munificence which charac-
terised his woi ship's conduct, and if an extraordi-
nary and irresistible proof of that were wanted he
would point to the noble statue which the Mayor
had presented to the town, and which would pre-
serve in honour and throughout future ages the
name of its munificent donor. (Applause.) After
briefly alluding to the princely hospitality which
the Mayor had displayed in providing the magni-
ficent banquet of which the assembly had partaken,
Mr. Baines concluded by observing that he was
sure they were all anxious to have the opportunity
of showing their deep appreciation of the Mayor's
kindness, and he therefore begged to propose " The
health of the Right Worshipful Sir Pet2r Fairbai-m,
Mayor of Leeds." (Loud cheers.)
The toast was drunk amid the most enthusiastic
cheering which was again and again repeated.
The MAYOR, in responding to the toast, said that
lie would certainly be wanting in proper feeling
and gratitude if he were not to thank the vs embly
very sincerely for the assurances given him of their
kindness towards him. (Hear, hear.) He felt, as he
believed every person did, that it was a very diffi-
cult thing for him to speak of himself, and nis de-
termination was not to detain them with many. re-
marks, especially at that late period of the evening.
He begged therefore simply to repeat his deep and
profound thanks for the honour which they had
been pleased to confer upon him by drinking his
health in the hearty manner in which they had
done. (Applause.) In about two months the period
of his mayoralty would elapse, but in the mean-
time it would be his pleasure to continue to en-
endeavour to discharge his duty in a manner be-
coming the high office to which the corporation had
been pleased to appoint him. (Applause.) He could
assure them that the proceedings which had taken
place that day would be deeply impressed upon his
mind, and he hoped to have the opportunity of ma-
nifesting his good feeling towards the inhabitants
of the town in a way which would deserve their
thanks upon some future occasion. (Cheers.)
After a pause,
The MAYOR again rose and said he had the ho-
nour of being surrounded by many distinguished
personages, strangers to the town of Leeds. He
could assure them that they were heartily welcome.
(Applause.) He was glad to see the union, of
which their presence might be taken as an indica-
tion, existing between the town and the country,
and he hoped this would not be the last occasion
on which Leeds would be honoured by the presence
of so many noblemen and gentlemen connected with
the landed interest. Sir Peter concluded by giving
" The Visitors," coupled with the health of Mr.
Milnes. (Applause.
Mr. It. M. MILNE) S, M.P., said that the Mayor,
in calling upon him to represent the visitors, had
given him a nighty constituency. He observed
that the visitors haft been highly delighted with
the interesting proceedings which they had wit-
nessed in Leeds, and that for the magnificent and
interesting spectacle of the morning, for the sump-
tuous entertainment of that evening, and for the
courtesy which had been shown to each and every
one of them, he begged on behalf of the visitors to
return their sincere thanks. (Applause.)
Mr. Alderman BOTTERILL proposed the health
of the architect, Mr. Brodrick, to whose ability he
paid a high tribute, which was warmly applauded
by the company. The worthy alderman also re-
ferred to the Town-hall wth feelings of pride and
admiration, speaking of it as a building which
combined elegance and utility in a remarkable de-
gree. He also said that Lord Brougham had
spoken of the assize courts in the hall as being ad-
mirably constructed. (Applause.)
The toast was briefly drunk, and
Mr. C. BRODRICK, the architect, briefly responded
to it.
gave the health of " The Lord Mayor
The MAYOR
of York and the Mayors of other Corporations who
were present."
The Lord of YORK (Mr. Wood) briefly replied.
Mr. R. M. MILNES proposed the health of the
Mayoress in very suitable terms. The Queen, he
said, had been greeted in the hall that morning
with every mark of honour and respect, and he now
asked the company to do honour to the lady who
held the highest rank in Leeds. (Applause.)
we need scarcely say, was received
w
and general acclamation.
with hearty
hetaortasyt,
The MAYOR appropriately thanked the assembly.
The company then separated, about half-past 8
o'clock.

A MARINE ACROBAT.—The extraordinary man-
ner in which the actinse continually change their form has
been made the subject of discussion by many writers, and is, '
indeed, a circumstance well calculated to inspire curiosity.
The last capricornis that I adopted far surpassed any which
I had seen before as a contortionist, and furnished me with no
fewer than twelve drawings, some of which are truly amus-
ing, considering the form and configuration of the animal
in its natural state. I must give a sketch of this curious
anemone. The first announcement that I received of his hav-
ing commenced his performances was from a servant (who
had privately taken an interest in the " Quarium," as she
called it, and endeavoured to catch up the names of its inhabi-
tants) poking her head within the door of ray sanctum, and cry-
ing out, " 0, please sir, docome and look, the enemy (meaning
the anemone) is a-turning hisself inside out I I didn't
touch him, sir
indeed, I didn't!" I discovered, however,
•
that from a natural enough curiosity, she had touched the
"enemy" the preceding day—a liberty he immediately re-
sented, by losing no time in, to her great alarm and sur-
prise, " turning hisser outside in ! For a whole week-the
animal continued his raanceuvres, until he finally detached
his base from the rock. After this he rolled about in a most
inflated, dropsical condition, being at least three times his
usual size.—The Seaside and Aquarium; or, Anecdoteand

THE DINNER TO SIR C. BRIGHT.

The following is the concluding portion of the
report of the dinner given to Sir Charles Bright on
the occasion of celebrating the completion of the
Atlantic Telegraph.
The health of the Lord-Lieutenant having been
proposed,

His Excellency, on rising, was received with
enthusiastic cheering. He said—Mr. Chairman
and Gentlemen, I thank you for the kind manner in
which you have proposed and drunk my health. It
is always a pleasant thing to have that honour paid
to us by a body of gentlemen, but I on this occasion
feel it connected with my predecessor. There is no-
thing that gives me greater pleasure than to acknow-
ledge the merits Of a predecessor. There has been no
occasion on which I have spoken in public in which
I had an opportunity of doing so, and I have now
borne my testimony to the great merits of my pre-
decessor. (" Hear, hear," and applause.) I have also
rejoiced that in proposing my health it should be
coupled with that of prosperity to Ireland. (Hear.)
No sentiment sinks more easily into my breast than
that one ; nothing gave me so much heartfelt in-
terest when I was here before, and it is the same
interest now. I know some have been agreeably
surprised at finding the degree of prosperity to
which Ireland has now attained. I confess, when
my health was coupled with that sentiment when
I was here before, I felt something like what Mr.
Herbert describes, that it was to a certain degree
—a myth. I feel now it is a reality that Ireland is
as prosperous as she deserves—(hear, hear)—but
tint co proaporouo ao nho will be in a few years. I
am most grateful indeed for your having given me
an occasion to assure you of the heartfelt
interest which I take in the great en-
terprise which Iwo lately been completed,
and to show you that my conduct on
a late occasion in Dublin was not caused
by any lukewarmness on my part, or any want of
desire to encourage that enterprise by every means
in my power, but simply by official necessity.
(Hear, hear.) That I could have needlessly or wil-
fully absented myself on such an occasion, either
from any personal hostility, or from any sectarian
bigotry, I trust no one who knows me will for a
moment imagine. As there are many who have
not known me, and as these public occasions are
the only way in which I am able to speak my feel-
ings to the people of Ireland, I beg to assure those
who have not hitherto known me that such is the
fact. (Cheers.) We have met on this occasion to
celebrate an affair—the completion of an enterprise
not only of the greatest possible interest to Eng-
land, but to Europe in general. In fact, it is hardly
possible to over-estimate the importance of the little
wire which binds us to the Western Con-
tinent. I know we are met under circum-
stances of some discouragement. It is true that
the communication, which was so perfect and
complete but a little while ago, has for a
time—and a time only—been discontinued. I
cannot attach any great importance to the slight
discouragement under which we now labour. I
cannot but feel that the end having been once
attained it will never again be lost; and if the pre-
sent wire be unsuccessful in maintaining its place,
which I trust in heaven may not be, the energy
and enterprise of the people of this country will not
allow it to die away. It is impossible, as I have
said before, to conceive a more important matter.
Historians have read, and poets have sung, of deeds
of daring and enterprise, but the historians of peace-
ful success have also their victories and successes to
relate, more beneficial to the human race than any
of the -most successful victories inspired by the
highest feelings of patriotism—(cheers)—and if in
ancient times there were the compass and printing,
in modern times there are steam and the telegraph,
all most wonderful, indeed, so that it is difficult to
award the palm of utility ; but the most wonderful
of all is the telegraph, the great triumph we are
met now to celebrate—(cheers)—and it is wonder-
ful that the further we go into the secrets of na-
ture, the more nature appears to yield up her
mysteries, and it is possible that even more ex-
traordinary discoveries than this may become open
to the human mind. Astronomers have revealed an
unlimited space, and brought before us with undis-
puted precision worlds in comparison with which
our own planet seems to sink into insignificance.
Astrologists have revealed hidden secrets; steam
has enabled us to defy the wind and waves and
almost annihilate space. Of printing I need
not say a word. Practical science has enabled us
to govern the most gigantic machinery by the
most simple touch of the hand of a child. But it
has been reserved for the present day, and I may
say for the present hour, to carry words to the fur-
most end of the earth with the rapidity of thought
—to draw elecricity from the clouds, and bring it
along the depths of the ocean for our service. When
we consider the extraordinary undertaking that has
been accomplished within the last few weeks; when
I we consider that a cable of about 2,000 miles has
been extended beneath the ocean, a length which,
if multiplied ten times, would reach our farthest
colonies and nearly surround the earth ; when we
consider it is stretched along the bed of shingles
and shells, which appeared destined for it as a
foundation by Providence, and stretching from the
points which human enterprises would look to ;
and when we consider the great results that will
flow from the enterprise, we are at a loss here suffi-
ciently to admire the genius and energy of those
who planned it, or how to be sufficiently thankful
to the Almighty for having delegated such a; power
to the human race, for whose benefit it is to be put
in force. (Cheers.) And let us look at the career
which this telegraph has passed since it was first
discovered. At first it was rapidly laid over the
land, uniting states, communities, and countries—
extending over hills and valleys, roads and rail-
ways ; but the sea appeared to present an impene-
trable barrier. It could not stop here, however ;
submarine telegraphy was but a question of time ;
and the first enterprise by which it was introduced
was in connection with an old foe—and at present
our best friend—lmperial France. (Hear, hear.)
The next attempt which was successful' was, I be-
lieve, the junction of England and our island, and
1 which was, I believe, carried out by the same dis-
tinguished engineer, whose name is in the mouth
of every man. (Hear.) Other submarine attempts
followed ; the telegraph then paused before the
great Atlantic, like another Alexander, weeping as
if it had no more worlds to conquer ; but it has
found another world, and it has gained it, not
bringing strife or conquest, but carrying with it
peace and goodwill. (Applause.) I feel I should
be wanting if I did not allude in terms of admiration
to the genius and skill of the engineer, Sir Charles
C. Bright, who has carried out this enterprise, and
to the zeal and courage of those who brought it to
a successful termination. (Applause.) It is not
necessary, I am certain, to call attention to the dili-
gence and attention shown by the crew of the Aga-
memnon--(cheers)—because I am sure there is no
one here who has not read the description of the
voyage in the newspapers. The zeal and enterprise
were only to be equalled by the skill with which it
was carried out. I believe there was only a differ-
ence of 12 miles between the two ends of the cable
when it came to the shore. There are some ques-
tions with regard to the date at which the work
was carried out, to which I wish to call attention.
It was on the sth August, 1857, that this enterprise
was first commenced under the auspices of my dis-
tinguished predecessor, who I wish was here now to
rejoice in its success—l mean only in a private ca-
pacity. (Cheers.) It was on the sth August, 1858,
it was completed, and it was on the sth August,
more than 300 years ago, that Columbus left the
shores of Spain to proceed on his ever-memorable
voyage to America. It was on the sth August,
1553, that Sir Hugh Gilbert, a worthy countryman
of Raleigh and of Drake; steered his good ship the
Squirrel to the shores of Newfoundland, and first
unfurled the flag of England in the very bay where
this triumph has now taken placc—(applause)—nd
it was on the same sth of August that your sove-
reign was received by her imperial friend amidst
the fortifications of Cherbourg, and thereby put an
end to the ridiculous nonsense about strife and dis-
sension. (Applause.) Let the sth of August be a
day ever memorable among nations. Let it be, if I
may so term it, the birthday of England. (Cheers.)
Among the many points which must have given
every one satisfaction, was the manner in which
this great success was received in America. (Hear.)
There appears to have been but one feeling of re-
joicing predominant amongst them, and I cannot
but think that that was not only owing to their
commercial enterprise, which they shared alone,
with us, but also, I trust, more to the feeling of con-
sanguinity and affection which I am sure we share
—though occasionally disturbed by international
disputes, and by differences caused by misre-
presentations or hastiness. It must still burn as
brightly in their breasts as in ours. (Ann-lance.) I
trust that, not only with our friends across the
Atlantic, but with every civilised nation, this
great triumph of science will prove the harbinger
of peace, goodwill, and friendship, and that Eng-
