BANQUET AT THE MANSION-1101MB
TO HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS.

Yesterday evening' the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor entertained at the Mancion-house a numer-
ous and distinguished company, invited especially
" to meet her Majesty's ministers," but who, how-
ever were disappointed in meeting either the prime
minister or the leader of the Hous© of Commons.
Lord Derby is, as is well known, laid up by his
old enemy the gow., snd at the eleventh hour the
Chancellor of the Exchequer sent an apology, hav-
ing been suddenly seized with sore throat go violent
as entirely to take away his voice. Additional in-
terest was attached to this announcement in conse-
quence of a rumour which circulated pretty freely
in the Egyptian-hall, to the effect that to the
effluvia from the river was to be attributed the
sudden. indisposition of the right hon. gentleman.
Every pains bad been taken by the Lord Mayor to
render the banquet the worthy scene of a grand po-
litical demonstration. The dinner, provided by the
accustomed hands of Messrs. Ray (Ix Brim er, was of the
most luxurious character ; the wines were rare and
in great abundance, and more than usual care had
been taken in elaborating the decorations. The
company c tine in by a new entrance, and found the
whole of the ve,tibule laid out as a parterre with
real flowers. The entrance hall was similarly de-
corated, and in the banqueting room the tables
groaned beneath the weight of rare plate and taste-
ful floral decoration. The company was exceed-
ingly numerous, but still it, was universally felt that
in the absence of the two great leaders of the Con-
servative party, the interest of the assemblage was
much diminished, and the presence of the same
feeling was very palpably perceptible throughout
the whole of the evening. There were no marked
demonstrations of any kind except in favour of the
Duke de Malakoff, who was honoured with such an
ovation as must convince his Excellency that if a
rupture of the enteate cordiale should unhappily
take place, it will not in the first instance be pro-
voked in this country. H/3 Excellency made a
short and per.ineut speech in French, which was
obviously extempore, and which was loudly cheered
by the company.
The Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma
Stanley were prevented being present in conse-
quence of the indisposition of the noble Premier.
The Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Countess
of Malmesbury, Lady Cairns, Sir James and Lady
Mtheson, Sir John and Lady Inglis, were also
absent from indisposition ; the Duchess of Man-
chester, the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter,
the Countess of Hardwicke, the Earl and Countess
of Delawarr, could not be present, having received
her Majesty's commands to be in attendance at the
concert of the Royal Academy of Music, which her
Majesty honoured with her presence last evening.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was also at the
last moment prevented being at the dinner in con-
sequence of indisposition.
On the removal of the cloth,

The LORD MA.Yolt gave successively " The
Queen," whom, he observed, " had now been
Euffered to reign one•and-twenty years ;" " The
Prince Consort and Royal Family," and " The
Army and Navy." In giving this toast his lord•
shin regretted the absence of Sir J. Inglis, the
gallant defender of Lucknow ; but congratulated
himself on the presence of Sir Archdale Wilson,
Lord Gough, and Admiral Manes.

Lord GOUGH briefly responded for the royal army.
Sir A. WILSON felt some difficulty in returning
thanks for the Indian army, so little of it now re-
mained together. However, that portion of it
which remained faithful had performed prodigies of
valour during the past year, and were well worthy
the favourable notice of that distinguished company.
On their part, he begged to return them his most
grateful thanks for the compliment which had just
been paid.
Sir J. PAKINGTON, in returning thanks for the
navy, saidthat he should have experienced some dif-
fidence in the presence of so many distinguished naval
officers, but that his position gave him the oppor-
' tunity of saying that for them which their modesty
would not allow them to say for themselves.
(Cheers and laughter.) He believed that the
British Navy fully deserved any honours that a
British public could pay them, and they were
at this moment as ready as ever to thserve well
of their country. (Hear.) Even when no enemy
was to be encountered at sea, they were ready to
serve bravely on land, as bad been proved in the
stirring scenes of the Crimea, and more recently on

;the burning plains! of India. (Cheers.) He could
not' allude to this snlatect withoUt recalling the
lamented death of Sir William Peel--(hear, hear)
—who, at the bead of his Naval Brigade, had
earned as fligh alropWation as a warrior as ever his
illustrious father had attained as a great statesman.
(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") gvery one, he be-
lieved, looked upon the untimely death of Sir W.
Pea as an irreparable loss to the country. (Hear.)
Speaking as-he then was in the -presence of the re-
presentatives of most of the powers of Europe, he
was happy to say that our foreign -relations were
generally in a most amicable. condition, but still
his conviction .was profound that with our daily
extending dominion and enormous commerce the
navy of England should alwas be maintained in the
fullest state of efficiency. These were the senti-
ments by which her •Majesty's present Ministers
were influenced; and let him add his earnest hope
that_ whatever 'government might be in power
similar sentiments might be entertained, and the
naval 'poWer of; England alteay's jeroperly main-
tained. (Cheers.) •He trusted that it would te-
main.unimpaired anclaunsurpaersed throughout our
whole career' as a nation. (Loud cheers.)
The next toast "was,. "Her Majesty's Ministers."
The LORD MAYOR Eaid, in giving it, that the pre-
sent was the third time helm& had the bonoui of
entertaining her Majesty's Ministers, and the
s. cond upon. which he had received the members
of the.
,preeem* Cabinet,; 310.abelieved that they
were growing daily in the estimation of the public,
and that there -never was a more popular Prime
Minister in.this country. Lerd Derby had been
attacked by his old enemy, the gout, a disease for
which, like the toothache, few had any sympathy.
He (the Lord Mayor) only wished that any man
whose risible faculties were excited by hearing of
his neighbour being prostrated with the gout might
have a trial of it for a month or two in the year,
and then it would be seen whether it was a very
suitable laughing matter. (Laughter.) He bagged
to give them, "Her Majesty's Ministers."
Th. LORD CHANCELLOR, in returning thanks, re-
gretted the abience of the chief of the Cabinet,
which made the present superb festival leek an
ancient triumph, in which the triumphal car passed
tar without the victor being present. He was
thankful for their plaudits, but he knew that him
self and his colleagues were like se many second-
rate actors, who, while they fretted their hour on
the stage, were exposed to the compassionate criei-
sisin of the audience. He war, therefore, filled
with no undue sense of hie own itaportauce ; he had
undertaken a part, and must go through the usual
forms, and he claimed their kind indulgence while
lie got through his tedious task. Ho could at least
peak freely of the disiliterssted motives which had
induced Lord Derby to accept office. They all re-
nembered the unexpected break-up of the late Go-
but whose friends had in
vernmeut, whom every one had imagined to be able
melted away free' them like

a rope of sand. At that moment all eyes were turned
on his noble friend (Lord Derby) as the only man
capable of forming an administration. (Hear.)
But did his noble friend exhibit any ambition for
eflice—did he fly to demand the seals ! On the con-
talry, when summoned he we`ghei all the respon-
sibility and difficulties of his positi. n, and it was
only when the royal command was laid on him
that his hesitation ceased. His noble friend on en-
tering office had found a mutiny iu India to deal
with, as well as a war in China, and it was hardly
necessary to say hew much our position was now
improved in both cases. His noble friend on enter-
ing office found a tendency to asperity on the part
of a gallant ally, but happily that asperity had all
been removed. The transaction with Naples and
he case of the English engineers were fresh iu every
one's memory, so -that he tined not say how his
noble friend had found them, or the way in which
they had been successfully arranged. (Cheers.)
The finances had also been placed in a satisfactory
state, so that although his noble friend • had now
been only four months in office, he could only look
back with justifiable pride to the many and satis-
factcry ch,nges he had effected in the aspect of our
public affairs even during that short period.
In India it had pleased Providence to crown our
arms everywhere with success ; and now the only
question that remained was, what was to be done
with the vanquished ? The policy of her Majesty's
Ministers was before the world. It was to temper
justice with mercy, and not so to press the naives
of India as to leave them no alternative but to re-
sist to the last with the reckless courage of despair.
(Hear.) They had announced their policy, and
they believed it had received the assent of the
country. (Cheers, and some slight dissent.) Having
again alluded to the success of our foreign policy
in the French difficulty, and the case of the engi-
neers, his lordship proceeded to say that notwith-
standing the organised attack which had been made
and had so signally failed, he believed the country
was determined upon giving her Majesty's present
Ministers a fair trial, and to believe that they, in
common with other statesmen, were mainly actu-
ated in their public conduct by a sincere desire for
the good of their country. (Cheers.)
TheLoRD MAYOR gave "The Foreign Ministers,"
naming M. Musurus and the Duke de Malakoff.
M MWSURUS biiefiy
responded in French, thank-
ing the company on behalf of his colleagues, and
taking credit for being half au Englishmen, in con-
sequence of his long residence in this country.
The Duke of MALAKOFF followed in the same
language. He begged to offer his acknowledgments
along with those of the Minister of Turkey, for the
manner in which his health had been proposed and
received. If his friend M. Musurus claimed the
merit of being half an Englishman, in consequence
of his long residence in this country, he (the Duke
of Malakoff) thought he might also put in his claim,
although on different grounds, having had the ho-
nour of leading Englishmen under the united flags
of France anfEngland, to battle and victory in the
Crimea. (Loud cheers.) He felt proud to be pre-
sent at that banquet, surrounded as he was by some
of the most distinguished military men in Europe.
In Lcrd Gough he saw the conqueror of the Pun-
jab—in Sir A. Wilson the valiant captor of Delhi.
(Loud cheers.) After one or two further observa•
tions in a similar strain, the gallant marshal con-
cluded by expressing his earnest wish that the pre-
sent friendly relations between France and England
might be of long continuance.
The Earl of ETARDWICKE returned thanks for the
"House of Lords," and the Marquis of Salisbury
gave the Lady Mayoress," after which the company
adjourned to the drawing-room.

mas'er of her Majesty's ship Hecate, was drunk on

mander G. F. Burgess, his superior officer, being

PRESENTATION OF A SWORD TO SIR
ARC.HDALE WILSON, OF DELHI.

The annual dinner of Old Valpeianß, which took
place at the Royal Hotel, Norwich, ou Tuesday
last, was rendered deeply interesting by the pre-
sence of Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi, and of Sir
Jas. Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, the president of
the club. _

The Rajah BROOKE, in proposing the health of
Sir Archdale Wilson, said—School-fellows and old-
fellows, you know the. compact between us—that
here, at least, we shall leave all the humbug of the
world behind us, and those who come amongst us
from abroad, deserving our praises and our kind-
nesse,, we will welcome in their simple names as
schoolboys. It is thus, Archdale Wilson, we wel-
come you to-day. You have come back to us with
greater honour than any one of us possesses, but
you have elso come to us in a character dearer than
that of the conqueror of Delhi—you appear amongst
us to-day as an old school-fellow, and this is the
welcome we give you. Ido not intend to act like
the world outside—l will not—l cannot--especia,lly
in the presence of those who play, d with you in the
same school ground here in the Close—give you
fulsome praises for what you have done ; but this
much I must say, you have done that of which any
soldier might well be proud, and you have done
that of which your couirtry is proud. Mora than
that, you have done that which makes all your
school-fellows proud. Old school-fellow ! dear
old school-fellow ! calling to mind, as I now do,
the time when we were comrades at dhow, I
welcome you as a soldier, and I call on one and all
to drink to ArchdaleWilson, the school-boy who is
present to-day. Archdale, I present you with this
sword—as goad a one, I hope, as you have ever
worn ; and should you ever be called into service
again, I trust you will wear it, and use it, for the
sake of those school-boys who presented you with
it. (Loud and long-continued arplruse.)
The sword selected was the dress-sword of the
Bengal Horse Artillery, to which Sir A. Wilson
had been attached for many years.
Sir A. WILSON, in acknowledging the compli-
ment, said—Brother school-fellows, a man must
have Wen expatriated from his native country, as
I have been, for 39 years, fully to enjoy such a
meeting as this. This evening has brought back
the reminiscences of my boylio: d, the recollection
of scenes in this good old town, where we have
often plsyed and struggled together. This warms
my heart, and amply repays me for all the cores
and anxieties I have undergone since I left the dear
old county of N orfolk. Your worthy president and
my old friend and school-fellow, It Brooke, has
-ung my praises and given me the highest ci edit for
nay services in India. I can only say that I was
placed in very difficult and trying cirournstances,
and that I did my duty as a soldier, and I have
great pleasure in finding that others think I did it
well. My career as a soldier is about, I hope, to
close, and I trust that the remainder of the years
allotted to me may be spent in feats and retire-
ment. I can assure you that this handsome memo-
rial of your esteem and regard will he highly prized
by me as long as I may live, and I trust that, at
some future day, some scion of the old blood may
arise who will be found worthy to draw it in the
service of his country. (Cheers )
The President then rose to present to Lady `'Nil
son, through her gallant husband, a brooch and
necklet, set with ea: buncles and diamonds, as a
•oken of respect towards the wife of their esteemed
kohool-fellow.—Bury Post.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
TOUR OF PRINCE ALFRED.

On Tuesday 'the Black Eagle entered Queens-
, town harbour, so as to allow the young Prince
an opportunity of seeing that part of the river, and
afterwards sailed for' Kinsale. Oa arriving at that
port Prince Alfred and suite took the " outside
car, which seems-, to have found favour in royal
sight, and, aocompanied by Capt. St. Leger, R.N.;
Inspecting COMmander of Coast'Guards, journeyed
along the lovely road which leads to Innoshannon.
After staying an hour or so at that village, the dis-
tinguished party- left amidst the cheering of the
crowd. Proceeding westward the Rack Eagle
stood into OroOkhaven, and while there performed
an office hianiNe indeed for an Admiralty yacht,
but useful and kindly. After the pilot of the barque
Benin, of Liverpool, Tuze master, had cause the
anchor of that vessel to ba lifted, in order to shift
her 'from •h.3r previous anchorage, she got adrift,
and was gdtting fast towards the north shore, when
on request of the• Master and pilot, Captain Petley
got unaerway; and gave the drifting ship its al-
sistance to .a safe holding-ground. Tee Princa was
on deck during the whole of the occuirence,- and
seemed well pleased to b 3 conne.cted with sa useful
a work.
