BANQUET AND TESTIMONIAL TO MR.
BRAND.

On Saturday evening a superb banquet was
given to the Right Hon. Henry Brand, M.P., by
the Liberal members of the House of Commons, on
the occasion of presenting to him a magnificent
testimonial in gratetul recognition of his long
and devoted services in connexion with the Liberal
party.

The entertainment was given in Willis's Rooms,
St. James's-street, when 237 noblemen and gentle-
men dined together. Thy, Right Hon. W. E.
Gladstone presided, having on his right the guest of
the evening, Mr. Brand's son, and on the left his
brother, Lord Dacre.
Immediately in front of the chair was placed the
testimonial, stated to have cost 82,000, subscribed
by 387 noblemen and
,gentlemen who are or have
been Liberal members of the House of Commons.
The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN, who was, tweived with loud
cheers, rose and said—My lords and gentlemen, I
rise to give you the toast which in every gathering
of Britons is ever first in the hearts and upon the
lips of those who are assembled, and nowhere, I will
venture to say, more in the hearts or upon the lips
of guests than within these walls at the present
moment— (cheers)—l mean " The Health of her
Majesty the Queen. (Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheers.
The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, " The
Health of the Prince and the Princess of \Vales and

ie rest of the Royal Family, said—We can wish

nothing more for the Prince of Wales than that he
may be enabled—and, indeed, it is no slight matter
to follow in future years the example of his illus-
trious parents. (Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with all the honours.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—My lords
and gentlemen, I rise to propose you that which is
technically and may truly be called the toast of the
evening. (Cheers.) And I think I may encourage
you to dismiss from your minds the apprehension
that it will be accompanied in the same degree as is
usual with what is called the speech of the evening.
(A. laugh.) You, my lords and gentlemen have too
much suffered in that respect —(a laugh)--not to
make it the duty of those who for the moment have
your fate in their hands to be very sparing upon
occasions like this ; and there are other reasons
which will compel me to be reserved, and to avoid
saying on this evening much that it would be gra-
tifying to me to say and to you to hear, for none of
us can venture to say, in the presence of my right
hon. friend Mr. Brand, all that we think and all
we feel on this occasion. (Loud cheers.) One
word, my lords and gentlemen,l may venture to say
—not with respect to Mr. Brand so much as to the
peculiar office he has filled, Now, of that office I ven-
ture to state, without fear of contradiction, that it is
in the strictest sense a British institution. (Cheers
and a laugh.) I doubt whether the like of it has
been reproduced in any other land. Sure lam that
this is the country and that ours is the Parliamen-
tary system to which it owes its origin ; and there-

fore, as lovers of. British institutions, you will for-
give me if I endeavour to commend to- your notice
the peculiar character of this British institution.
(Cheers.) It is, my lords and gentlemen, a charge
attended with great power that has been in the
bands of Mr. Brand. It is something in the nature,
I think, on a moderate scale, of a constitutional
monarchy—(a laugh)—for the power is great ; but,
on the other hand, it is subjected to many checks
and limitations. (Cheers.) It has placed him for
a long series of years in the most intimate personal
relations with us all. (Cheers.) He has probably
had opportunities equalled by those of no other man
of reading, one by one, our interior minds and
characters—(cheers)—because, my lords and gentle-
men, we all know what it is—that this is a country
in which every man of spirit makes superhuman
efforts to get into the House of Commons, and when
he has got there he makes efforts, at least as persever-
ing, if not as violent, to give himself as much liberty
as he can in the matter of attendance—(cheers and
laughter) ;—and upon the gentleman who fills the
office so long worthily held by Mr. Brand depends
in essential and vital respects the whole working
efficiency of the popular branch of the Legislature
of this country. (Cheers.) May you long be
spared to enjoy not only the sight and possession of
this feeble testimonial of our regard, but the warm
affection and friendship you have earned from every
man now within these walls, and from many who
are beyond them. (Loud cheers.) My lords and
gentlemen, I give you the " Health of Mr. Brand."
The toast was drunk amid loud and prolonged
cheering, and followed by " Auld Lang Syne."
Mr. BRAND, who was received with much applause,
said—Mr. Gladstone, my lords and gentlemen, it is
not possible, in my opinion, for a man to receive a
higher compliment than that which I have now
received at your hands. (Cheers.) The gift
which you have presented to me is indeed magnifi-
cent, and will be highly valued by me as long as I
live; but that which gives it especial value in my eyes
ig_the consideration that it is a Standing record of
