London, England, 1866-07-07 00:00:00

The health of the-Queen was duly honoured.

The LORD MAYOR—I have now the honour to
propose the healths of our royal and distinguished
guests, their Majesties the King and Queen of the
Belgians. (Cheers.) Sire, fifty hears have elapsed
since this ancient municipality conferred its highest
and most deeply-prized privilege on your royal
father. (Hear, hear.) Every act of his public life
shows how well and worthily that honour was be-
stowed. (Cheers.) The late King of the Belgians
was dearly loved by the English people. (Cheers.)
He was the intimate and faithful friend, the never-
failing adviser of our beloved Queen ; and he in-
augurated a policy of freedom and constitutional
government in his adopted kingdom which has
without doubt blessed the Belgion people with
happiness. and prosperity. By his wisdom, fidelity,
and love of truth and justice he won the admiration
and confidence of all European States. Some of us
have had the opportunity of visiting your Ma-
jesties' dominions, and whether we view its com-
mercial, its manufacturing, or its agricultural
interests—the textile fabrics of Mechlin, or the iron
manufactures of Liege, we can see traces of the in-
dustry of the people and the firm constitution of the
Government—we can see a people who are governed
by a free constitution, and by a King whom they
love and honour. (Cheers.) May, sire, a reign so
inaugurated continue to bless and prosper. May
you lead a life of uninterrupted happiness, and may
I venture to hope that your happy and peaceful
country will remain the model of freedom, and the
admiration of the surrounding world. (Loud
cheers).
The King of the BELGIANS—I thank you, both in
my own name and in the name of the Queen, for the
honour you have just done us in drinking our health
with the warmth you have displayed. I thank the
Lord Mayor for the kind way is which he gave the
toast. I thank you for the kind manner in which
you have accepted it. England and Belgium are
sister countries. (Cheers.) They are both very
much attached to their free institutions; they are
both, although in a very different scale, engaged in
great commercial and industrial pursuits. We have
the same liberal commercial and industrial pursuits.
We have the same liberal commercial policy, and I
am very happy to be able to say here that our trade
is increasing. (Cheers.) I sincerely hope that the
bands of friendship which already tie Belgium to
England will be strengthened and continue for ever-
more. (Cheers.) And now, my Lord Mayor, let
me 'again thank you for the most kind speech you
have just made, and for all you have said of my
dear native country. I thank you for the way in
which you have just spoken of the King, my late
father. The King of Belgium long enjoyed the
freedom of this important city, and I need not say
I am proud of the honour. Let me also thank you
again for all you have said about myself, of whom
t
you have spoken I feel a great deal too kindly. Let
me conclude now by apologising for having
his
ad-
dressed you in my broken English—(laughter, gMajesty's English being excellent)—and
express-
ing to you my best wishes for the czntinuance of the
extraordinary prosperity enjoyed this city--thedcheers.)

who rrince of WALES—Auer the very able speech

The LORD MAYOR proposed " Her Majesty's
Ministers." He believed that the new Government,
like their predecessors, had the best and truest in-
terests of their country at heart. With the toast he
had the greatest pleasure in the name of
Mr. Disraeli—a name which, he unhesitatingly
affirmed, was honoured and respected in this coun-
try. (Cheers.) He hoped the new Chancellor of
the Exchequer might be as successful as his prede-
cessor. (Laughter and cheers.) He could not wish
the right hon. gentleman a better wish than that in
the next seven years he might produce effects as
satisfactory to the country as the right hon. gentle-
man who had preceded him. (Cheers.)
Mr. DISRAELI—I beg to return you my thanks
on the part of her Majesty's Ministers for the great
honour you have done them. As I have only been a
Minister for a very few hours I am sure you will
not expect on this occasion an exposition of the
general policy of the new Administration. (A
laugh.) Indeed, if this dinner had taken place yes-
terday, the duty I am now discharging would have
fallen in all probability upon my predecessor ; and
I am sure the right hon. gentleman—whom, not-
withstanding our long and fierce encounters, I pre-
sume to call my right hon. friend—(cheers)—would
have done much justice to a theme which must
always be interesting to the subjects of her Majesty.
Indeed, under any circumstances, I could not pre-
tendon an occasion like the present to refer to any
party subject or political situation, but I hope 1 may
be permitted to say on the part of her Majesty's
present advisers, that they are animated by a sin-
cere desire to do their duty to their Sovereign and
their country, and I hope that by a policy prudent,
yet at the same time firm, by a policy temperate
in its general tone, yet decided when necessary
in its action, it may preserve in this country
prosperity and peace. (Cheers.) There is no country
more interested in those blessings than one which
is situated near to us, the amiable and accomplished
sovereigns of which have honoured us with their
presence this day. I trust that those blessings will
fall upon that country, for I am sure that every
Englishman is interested in the welfare of Belgium.
(Cheers.)
To the tout of " The House of Lords," proposed
by the Chairman, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Tal-
bot responded.

The King of the BELGIANS, in a complimentary
sentence, proposed the Lord Mayor's health, to
which the Lord Mayor replied.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The House of
Commons." Notwithstanding there was no reason
to find fault with that august assembly, he trusted
he might be permitted to say that within the last
three weeks they had not been so busily occupied as
they usually were at this season of the year.
(Laughter.) He coupled with the toast the name
of the Right Honourable IV. E. Gladstqne. (Loud
cheers.) He offered that gentleman a cordial and
hearty reception in the City of London, and he had
no hesitation in saying that history did not furnish
a brighter example of a loyal and patriotic subject
—or of an honest, independent, or faithful states-
man. (Renewed cheers.) No one who had watched
the right honourable gentleman's brilliant career
could refrain, whatever his political opinions might
be, from expressing hiS sense of the important ser-
vices he had rendered. Might Mr. Gladstone long
be spared to serve his country as faithfully and in-
dependently as he had hitherto done, and might he
long continue to be one of the brightest ornaments
of the House of Commons. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. GLADSTONE—I must not trust myself to dwell
upon the terms which the Lord Mayor has been
pleased to refer to my personal career, beyond the
tendering of my respectful gratitude, and the utter-
ance of the conviction that he has allowed his warmth
of expression to carry his estimate of me beyond the
bounds of justice, or even indulgence. Passing
from that subject to the House of Commons, I assure
the company that those who belong to the assembly
are a body eminently loyal to the Chamber in which
they sit, and there is no task more grateful to any
member of Parliament, in whatever quarter of the
house he may be found, than to be called upon to
express his acknowledgments, as one of those mem-
bers, -
bers, for those tributes which it receives abundant
in every assembly of our countrymen. (Cheers.)

The Fourth of July in London,
During the past few weeks a very general desire
has been manifested by the American residents in
London to celebrate the anniversary of their
country's birth this year in a more public manner
than has been the practice in London in times past.
It was felt by all Americans here that never before
had there been so auspicious an occasion for such a
celebration. Their country had been restored,
Slavery had been for' ever abolished throughout the
length and breadth of the land, republican prin-
ciples had triumphed—and they could not but
rejoice. But we did not advise any public demon-
stration, inasmuch as the estimable Minister of the
United States at this Court, and his lady, had
issued invitations to most of the prominent and best-
known Americans in the British metropolis to meet •
them at an evening reception at their mansion in
tnPortland-place.aswmad.
eThsereevfeorrael noA Americans, however,
emonstra-
io
formed themselves into pic-nic
parties, and spent
the, day in the country.
In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Adams received
their countrymen and countrywomen. A large
number of invited guests were present, including
several well-known American artists, divines,
officers of the United States army and navy, edi-
tors and literary men, and distinguished citizens of
the Great Republic. There were no formalities, no
toasts nor speeches, and nothing to indicate that the
gathering was anything more than an ordinary
party would have been on any other night. Cen-
trally situated in the large reception room, how-
ever, was an admirable portrait of President
Johnson, half hidden in the silken folds of the stars
and stripes of his country. This was all to remind
the assembled throng of the day they were there to
celebrate—and yet we venture the assertion that no
happier Fourth of July has ever been spent by
Americans in England. Mr. Adams himself is not
now, in the eyes of Americans, the man he was five
years ago. Then he was simply an honoured and
distinguished citizen of the United States—the son
and the grandson of a President. /Vow he is the
great statesman who in a time of unparalleled trial
and difficulty upheld the honour of his country,
and conducted many delicate negotiations in a
manner which has won for himself the love of the
American people, and for his country the respect 1
and admiration of the great nation to which he is
accredited. And this is the feeling with which Mr.
Adams is regarded by his countrymen here. They
all felt honoured in grasping his hand, and in con-
gratulating him and each other on what the Lord
had done for them. Every face was cheerful, and
yet there was no hilarity ; the assembly was too
happy for gaiety—their happiness was of that kind
which could not expend itself in rockets and Chinese
crackers; but only in emotions of thankfulness to
the Lord of Hosts who had saved the nation. And
when they had assembled around the festive board,
and the champaigne flowed, and the good things of
this life were spread before them, all felt that their
festivities were mingled with praise and with prayer.
We have had many Fourth of July demon-
strations in London—when great public dinners,
toasts, speeches, music, and dancing were the em-
ployments of the day. But surely never before have
we had such a reunion as that of last Wednesday
night. Nothing could have been more appropriate
to the day and the circumstances ; and we trust that
Mr. Adams may long live to honour his country at
this Court, and to join his countrymen in London
in their annual festivities.

We ought to have remarked that the company,
which numbered about three hundred and fifty, in-
chided perhaps one hundred American ladies, who,
we think, would have borne favourable comparison
as regards personal beauty, tasteful dress, and gentle
manners, with any of their high-born English
sisters, who lend such grace and elegance to the
drawing-rooms of her Majesty the Queen.

AMERICAN GOLD.—GoId to the amount of
£100,000,000 is obtained annually from the mines, &c., in
America. This is more than the whole of the rest of the
world produces in forty years; and more than the mines
of Mexico and Peru yielded in their most prosperous days;
yet it is supposed to be only one-third of what may be
expected in ten years if the Pacific Railway is constructed.

BURIAL OF THE DEAD OF TIIE REBELLION.—
It may not be well known that burying parties are at work
on every field of the Rebellion, gathering up and burying
the dead soldiers, from Virginia to Texas. The last made
cemetery is at Coal Harbour, and already contains 1,930
bodies, viz.:-50 commissioned officers, 39 non-commis-
sioned officers, one chaplain, 546 known soldiers, 346 un-
known, taken from graves, 889 unknown, taken from
trenches. There are three burying parties around Rich-
