degree upon any peaceable neighbour—(Load cheers)—
or to spare in the very least degree any hostile neigh-
bour—(Renewed cheers)—for that is the true rule of
peace—never to break it, but never to suffer it with im-
punity to be broken—(Hear, hear)—and that, above all,
they will carry back to their master the most positive
assurance from a'l quarters, that no intention whatever
exists to diminish by one acre the distance which sepa-
rates our eastern frontier from the western frontier of
Chino.—(Loud and continued cheering.)
" The health of the Lord Mayor" was the next toast;
and his Lordship in few words acknowledged tk min-,
pliment.
Sir IJ. HOBHOUSE, in proposing the ussash of the
Chairman," Chairman," passed a very high ettlogium upon him, and

The CHAIRMAN said

was to promote the
approbation of the good in both countries was the re-
ward they hoped for._( Hear, Hear, hear.)
Thu C I
n proposing " the health of the
Governor-General oflndia," observed, that he was fully
ARANI
maintaining the high reputation he gained in the ser-
vice of his Sovereign in this country; and he trusted the
Noble Lord's health might be long spared, that he might
continue to perform his important duties with such
credit to himself and benefit to the people of that coun-
try.—(Hear, hear.)
The toast was drunk amidst much applause.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Visitors." Re•
presenting, as they did, the vast multitude of people in
India, the Company felt it their duty to testify their re-
spect in this old fashion of entertaining their friends—
(Hear, hear)—and expressing their acknowledgments to
the many deserving servants who were continually re-
turning from India.—(Hear, hear.) Bat ho would take
leave to couple with the toast on this occasion the name
of Lord Stauley—(Cheers)—a nobleman whom they all
respected—(Renewed cheers)---and whom he was sure
they would be happy to hear in reply to the toast.
Lord STANLEY—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I can
assure you, that greatly as I value at all times any mark
of courtesy, far more any mask of cordiality, most of all
whatever I can construe into anything like personal appro-
bation on the part of my fellow countrymen, there are
indeed few portions of the community, there are few
bodies, of whose approbation I should be more proud,
whose praise I should be more desirous to obtain, whose
good opinion I should be more sorry to forfeit, than that
which is represented by the great assembly which I have
now the honour of addressing, and over which you, Sir,
see worthily preside.—(Hear.) It has been my fortune,
in the course of a not very short public life, occasionally
in office, nod occasionally out—more fcequently, and
happily, the latter--(Laughter)—to be placed in various
situations, and connected and m,xed up with various
public services; it never was any good fortune to be
connected officially in any degree with the affairs of the
East India Company. Yet it is impossible far any man
to have looked at the progress of this great country,
its rising interests, the various quarters of the globe from
which it derives strength, and wealth, and power,
and not to be sensible how much of them it owes to that
great and mighty empire in the east, over which the
East India Cempany have pv,sided with an authority, a
power, a prudence, worthy of itni ation by the mightiest
monsacha in either hemisphere.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen,
if I look to the House of Lords, I find in that body the
most illustrious names—those who have derived their
honours and their titles from their services in the east.
—(Hear.) If I turn to the army or tho navy, I find
the services in Indi-. ennob!ed by the highest names in

the highest services oi this country.—(He-ar.) There is
hardly n civil bcrvia) in which those who have been
brought up in the Indian service have not shown them--
selves worthy of the stock feem which they have pro-
ceeded, worthy of entering into honourable rivalry and
Successful competition with those who have remained to
try their fornine in their native country.—(Hear.)
And it is the boast of the East India Company that
to. the most distant countries, to languages unknown,
to .rations whose customs, whose religion, whose
manuers, whose all, differ widely from our owe,
they have extended to some degree the imitation of
our British habits—(Hear)—they have extended, at all
events, the respect of the British name—(Hear, hear)—
and they have extended the emulation of British industry,
British intelligence, British enterprise.—(Hear, hear.).
'('hey have spteid to the furthest extremity of their em-
pire the knowledge of the country to which they belong,
and respect and veneration for that country.—(Hear,
henr.) If there be an object more than ancther which,
in the present aspect of the world, it is of importance
that British statesmen should bear in mind, it is the de-
ielhpmene of the great resources of our Indian empire.—
(Hear.) We owe to India a large debt. Our more success-
ful rivalry has, in great measure, extinguished the mann-
featuring industry of India. We owe, in return, to do all
for that great empire which we can do to developo her
natural resent-0300 promote her industry, to increase
her. wealth, increasing at the same time our own, while
We spread at once the blessings of religion, of civiliza-
tion, cf industry, and of consequent contentment over
untold millions of future happy British subjects.—(Hear,
hear.) This is an object worthy of the ambition of
statiesmen.—(ll.ear, hear.) This is an object far mere
important than there of days happily gone by, when
some paltry question of territorial advancement, some
little jfalousy of national prejudice or national pride,
would set the world by the ems, and embroil a continent
in war.—(hear.) The days are gone by when war is to
be considered as the pride and the boast—ay, even the
most successful wars, and no country can boast of snore
successful wars than onrs—(Hear)—the days aro gone
by when the triumphs of war are to be recorded as the
highest triumphs of nations —( Hear, hear.) The highest
triumphs now are the triumphs of the advancement of
civihzetion, of knowledge, of industry, of mutual
friendship—(llear, hear)—and I know no higher
triumph, I know no greater beast, than that to which
we may point now; not that we have here, in
friendly concert and friendly communication, those
whom long habit has brought into constant intercourse
in the usual and ordinary transactions of the affairs of
nations, but that we are gradually widening what I may
call our domestic circle.—(Hear.) We are gradually
widening the circle of our friends—(Hear)—and among
others, we see the Eastern chiefs and princes brought
into close and personal communication with the civiliza-
tion and the power of England. —(Hear, hear.) We see
our conquests extending, not by force of arms, but the
conquests of our influence, our example, our proffered
friendship (Hear) hich I trust throughout the
world will only bo exerted henceforth for promoting
mutual goodwill, mutual good understanding, and fact-
: litatincr that friendly intercourse among all, nations
which has been facilitated to an extent that never could
~have been foreseen by our ancestors, nay, by ourselves,
twenty years ago, through the marvellous discoveries
:by which time and space have been almost annihilatel.
—(Cheers.) I had no thought of addressing you to-
night; I have been led away by the kind manner in
which the toast has been proposed and received.—(Hear,
hear.) I ought to have limited myself to returning
, thanks for myself and for all who are partakers of your
magnificent and generous hospitality. I only -trust that
hospitality which is the mark and the type of friendship
will be the forerunner of the extension of general friend-
ship and universal intercourse among all the nations of
the world on the same footing upon which we meet at
present at this friendly board.—(Loud cheers.)
"The Civil Service of India," was the subject of the
next toast, and Mr. E. GARDNER, who responded to it,
stated that he could look back with great satisfaction to
the period when he was the Resident at the Court of
:liepaul, and to the harmony which prevailed in bis
transactions and intercourse with the en. fe end people
of that country. It had always bean his endeavour to
.cultivate kindly feelings there—feelings of amity and
,goon-will.
" The Indian Army" was the last toast. It was
drunk with cheers. The company then separated.
The arrangenients of the evening in every depart-
ment was extremely good, and did great crefit to the
establishment at which the festivity took place, and to
those who, on the part of the East India Company, had
the. conduct of the proceedings.
Mr. Took attended -as toastmaster.
In the gallery there were a number of ladies, who ap-
peared to be much interested in seeing and hearing all
.that was going on.
