Tne Fishmongers' Company.

The Prime Warden, Mr. Walter C. Yenning,
and the court of this company entertained at a ban-
quet in their magnificent hall last evening a large
party of gentlemen, the majority of them well known
in the exercise of some public capacity. Amongst
the guests were—The Earl of Albemarle, the Earl
of Charlemont, Rear-Admiral Sir Sydney Dacres,
Colonel Sykes, M.P., Sir S. Morton Pete, M.P.,
Col. Warde, Alderman Dakin, the President of the
Royal College of Physicians, the President of the
Royal College of Surgeons, the President of the In-
stitution of Civil Engineers, the President of the
Medical Council of the United Kingdom, Professor
Owen, Professor Adams, Dr. G. Rees, Mr. Deputy
Fry, Mr. Deputy Charles Reed, the Master of the
Salters' Company, the Rev. James Martineau, the
Rev. P. P. Gilbert, the Rev. S. Parkinson, Dr.
Davis, Mr. William Hawes, Mr. Charles Barry, Mr.
Charles Lucas, &c. The company numbered in all
upwards of 100.

Due honour was done to the toasts of the " Health
of her Majesty" and that of " the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales, and the other members of the Royal
Family," and a congratulatory tribute was paid to
the army and navy and volunteers. The last-men-
tioned toast was responded to by Colonel Sykes,
M.P., on the part of the army, by Rear-Admiral
Dacres for the navy, and by Colonel Warde, of
the London Rifle Brigade, for the volunteers.
The last-named gallant colonel in the course
of the few observations he made said that
this was the seventh year which had elapsed since
the volunteers were established, and it was gratify-
ing to know that they were now in a better state of
efficiency than they had ever yet been. The move-
ment had been well sustained to the present time,
and he felt fully assured that when called upon the
regiments of volunteers would discharge their duty
in a manner satisfactory to their Sovereign and
country. The chairman next proposed "The House
of Peers," coupled with the name of the Earl of
Albemarle, who, in returning thanks, said that
nearly 40 years had elapsed since he last had the
honour of being a guest of the Worshipful Company
of FL,hmongers. At that time he attended there
in the character of equerry to his Royal Highness
the Duke of. Sussex, and, although politics were
eschewed on the present occasion, he could not for-
bear speaking of the noble and disinterested conduct
which the illustrious duke always pursued when the
welfare of his country was concerned. " The House
of Commons," and Sir S. M. Pao was then given,
and Sir S. Morton Peto, in returning thanks, ob-
served that the advantages arising from such power-
ful companies as the present tended greatly to
prove that the best nurseries of the liberties of the
country were its municipal institutions. The toast
of " the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the
City of London".having been drunk, Mr. Alderman
Dakin acknowledged the compliment in appropriate
terms. The next toast was that of " the Royal
College of Physicians and the Royal College of
Surgeons," associated with the names of Sir Thomas
Watson and Mr, Partridge, who respectively ad-

dressed the company in the expression of their
thanks—the latter gentleman observing that the
magnificence of such banqueting halls as the pre-
sent was worthy of the noble and historic mansions
of Venice and Genoa. " The Livery Companies of
the City of London" was the toast next introduced,
and was warmly responded to by Mr. Le Gros
Clarke, the Master of the Salters' Company. Other
toasts followed, including " the health of the Chair-
man, the Prime Warden" (proposed by Professor
Owen), and the company separated after a very
agreeable evening.

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING QUARTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

The morning being line, and trainers laxiotts, tp.
ga exercises—over before the racing of the day was
prepared for, the several teams were out exceedingly
early. As upwards of three hundred horses were
working it was a very pretty sight, but it puzeed
the horse-watchers to get at all the principal
strings. The Rake was striding magnificently
along ; he cantered thrice, and then galloped quite
a mile and a half, pleasing his trainer much.
Knight of the Garter and Hermit both went a gallop
of over a mile and a'quarter, but the latter was not
so free in his action as we have been wont to
notice. The Knight is getting very fit. The
French horses moved first class, and Trocadero
will be as ripe as anything else in the Two Thou-
sand, for which he possesses a good outside chance.
He galloped a mile and a half with Dragon and
Enchanteur. Thalassius was again schooling Sir
Oliver and Arundel, and the Peer, Freedom, and
Cellina were cantering. Archimedes did long,
steady work, and showed no temper. D'Estournel
had a nice smart mile and a quarter spin, led by
Sealskin ; and then Leybourne took Ravioli and
Moleskin over a mile smartly. Julius followed the
Beadle a mile and a quarter, and Opopouax went
about the same distance, as did Pericles, Bombastes,
and others from Mat Dawson's. Most of Bloss's
merely cantered and trotted about. Friponnier
and Sceur de Charite rattled over a mile splendidly,
and Star of India did a mile and a half at three-
parts speed. Jasper had a nice gallop of a mile and
three quarters, but Hippia did veryof
mliitlestle.

Nevis had a gallop of over two n •
colt did a mile and a quarter ; and Leases, with

a mile at a fair pace. Man of Ross and Stradbroke
went quite a mile and a half each ; and Python be-
yond that. Bertie was eased.
