Mr. Harper performed as trumpeter on the announce-
ment of each toast, and Mr. Harker (as a matter of
course) was the toastmaster, &c., on the occasion. The
musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr.
Hobbs, assisted .by Miss. Ransford, Miss Messent, Mr.
Francis, Mr. Young, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Bradbury, and
Mr. J. L. Haton.
Oa the removal of the cloth, the grace from the Laudi
Spirituali was sung.
The usual loyal. toasts having been drunk with every
demonstration of loyal feeling,
The LORD MAYOR gave " The health of the Lord
Bishop of Worcester and the Church."—(Cheers.)
The Lishop of WORCESTER returned thanks for the
manner in which the toast had Leen received, not only
as applicable to himself, but to that Church of which be
was a member. He was satisfied that the prosperity of
the State depended en that of the Church.
The Len]) MAYOR next gave " The Right Hon. the
Lord Chief Justice of England and the rest of the Judges
of the land." He was sure that the feeling of the com-
pany would be that of pleasure in meeting on this occa-
sion so many of the most distinguished ornaments of the
bench of England.— (Applause.) . .-
Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL returned thanks for
the honour which had been conferred upon the judges.
He felt, however, that no portion of the applause which
had been evokel could be applicable to himself, as he
had so recently been enrolled on the list of the judges
of the land; but through life ho should always follow
the example, the bright example, of his brethren on the
bench; and he was proud to say that that bench was
never more highly respectable, or more worthy of imi-
tation. He assured the Lord Mayor that the judges of
the land were at all times most proud to pay their re-
spects to the first magistrate of the first city of the
world; and they felt that in the good opinion of their
felloweeitizens they had their best reward for the labour
they had to undergo in the administration of justice.
There had long been a cordial good feeling between the
judges of the land and the corporation or London, and
long might that good feeling continue.
The LORD MAYOR next gave, " Lord Brougham and
the House of Peers."—(Cheers.) •
Lord BROUGHAM said he felt highly sensible of the
very kind manner in which the company had been
pleased to receive the kind mention of his name as
connected with that illustrious House of Lords with
which his name had been associated. If anything
could add to the pleasure which he felt on
found
such occasions as the present, it was to find
himself associated with those who had been his earliest
and dearest friends at the bar—with them for upwards
cofouhalf aeyceern tfeuerlyeht
he
ehrawdi
sbee ethna onn

cy
himself amongst his fellow-citizens in that great city
which was the cradle of English liberty, in which
English liberty had been nurtured and brought up, and
which cradle if the city of London lost she would not
follow the hearse of her freedom to the grave, but would
be borne forth to be interred along with it. With re-
gard to the House of Peers, he must say that if that il-
lustrious House should be uprooted, English liberty
would be shaken to its foundation, for he looked upon
the House of Peers to be just as essential a prop of
English freedom as the Commons House of Parliament
itself.—(Great applause.) Ia conclusion the Noble and
Learned Lord gave the health of their host—" The
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
The LORD MAYOR responded.
His LORDSHIP next gave, " Her Majesty's Privy
Council." _ _

Mr. Baron PARKE responded.
The LORD MAYOR gave " The Attorney-General and
the Members of the Bar," which was duly acknowledged
by the Attorney-General.
Several toasts followed, including " The House of
Commons," responded to by Mr. Walpole; " Her Ma-
jesty's Counsel," eloquently acknowledged by Sir F.
Kelly; " The Sergeants-at-Law," coupled with the:isame
of Mr. Sergeant Allen, and " The Lord Mayor of
York."
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Yons responded
—This was the third time that he had enjoyed the hos-
pitality of the city of London, and, surrounded as he
was by the merchant princes of London, and by
the luminaries of the law, to whom he had ever
looked up with respect, he might well be proud of his
present position. In return his Lordship gave " The
Lady Mayoress."
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and the majority
of the guests then tdok their departure.

being of friezed gold, and the latter enriched with
con-
sists of scrolls and clusters of large and small bril -
liants of the finest water, as likewise the loop from
which the badge hangs. The effect of the whole is
superb in the extreme, and as a new gentleman's
presentation badge of honour, will supersede plate or
the usually adopted tokens, when these are not deemed
appropriate. On the back of the ornament, which is
of polished gold, is the following inscription richly
engraved : 4
"Presented to William Payne, Esq., in testimony of
his public services as Coroner for London, 1850.
The value of the whole is about three hundred
guineas.
The testimonial was presented in due form, and in
accepting it the worthy coroner expressed himself in
becoming terms.
The coroner was also complimented on the fact
