degree upon any peaceable neighbour—(Loud 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, h
they will carry back to their master the.most positive
assurance from all quarters, that no intention whatever
exists to diminish by one acre the distance which sepa-
rates our eastern frontier from the western frontier of
Chine.—(Loud and continued cheering.)
" The health of the Lord Mayor" was the next toast;
and his Lordship in few words acknowledged the com-
pliment.
Sir tJ. HonnnusE, in proposing the " Health of the
Chairman," passed a very high eulogium upon him, and
said he never transacted business with a man more de-
termined to do his duty firmly, but persuasively, and in
the manner most likely to obtain his honourable ends.
The CHAIRMAN said the one object of all the directors
was to promote the good of the people of India, and the
approbation of the public in both countries was the re-
ward they hoped for.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " the health of the
Governor-General of India," observed, that he was fully
maintaiping the high. reputation he ge;ned in the ser-
vice of is Sovereign in this country; and he trusted the
Noble Lord's health might be lung 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 tcait 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.) But he would take
leave to couple with the toast on this occasion the name
of Lord Stanley—(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 mark 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,
so worthily preside.—(Hear.) It has been my fortune,
in the course of a not very short public life, occasionally
in office, and occasionally out—more frequently, and
happily, the latter—(Laughter)—to be placed in various
situations, and connected and mixed up with various
public services; it never was my good fortune to be
connected officially in any degree with the affairs of the
East India Company. Yet it is impossible for 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 Company have presided with an authority, a
power, a prudence, worthy of imitation by the mightiest
monarchs 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.
—(Near.) If I turn to the army or the navy, I find
the services in India ennobled by the highest names in
the highest services of this country.—(Hear.) There is
hardly a civil service in which those who have been
brought up in the Indian service have not shown them-
selves worthy of the stock from which they have pro-
ceeded, worthy of entering into honourable rivalry and
successful competition with those who have remained to
try their fortune 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 nations whose customs, whose religion, whose
manners, 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 iudustry,
British intelligence, British enterprise.—(Hear, hear.)
They have spread 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,
hear.) If there be an object more than another which,
in tie present aspect of the world, it is of importance
that British statesmen should bear in mind, it is the de-
vel ,pment 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 manu
factoring industry of India. We owe, in return, to do all
for that great empire which we can do to develope her
natural resources, to promote her industry, to increase
her wealth, increasing at the same time our own, while
we spread at once the blessings of religion, of civilize
tion, of industry, rind of consequent contentment over
untold millions of future happy British subjects.—(Hear,
hear.) This is an object worthy of the ambition of
statesmen.—(Hear, hear.) This is an object far mere
important than those of days happily gone by, when
some paltry question of territorial advancement, some
little j-alousy of national prejudice or national pride,
would set the world by the ears, 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 more
successful wars than ours—(Hl, ar)—the days are gone
by when the triumphs of war are to be recorded as the
highest triumphs of nations —(llean hear.) The highest
triumphs now are the triumphs of the advancement of
civiharion, of knowledge, of industry, of mutual
friendship—(llear, hear)—and I know no higher
triumph, I know no great ?r boast, 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 inch constant intercourse
in the usual and onlinury 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) which I trust throughout the
world will only be exerted henceforth fur promoting
mutual goodwill, mutual good understanding, and faci-
litating that friendly intercourse among all nations
which has been facilitated to an extent that nover 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 annihilated.
—(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 oil 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, end Mr. E. GARDNER, who responded to it,
stated that he could look hook with great satisfaction to
the period when he was the Resident at the Court of
Nepaul, and to the harmony which prevailed in his
transactions and intercourse with the chiefs and people
of that country. It had al ways been his endeavour to
cultivate kindly feelings there—feelings of amity and
good-will.
" The Indian Army" was the last toast. It was
drunk with cheers. The company then separated.
The arrangements of the evening in every depart-
ment was extremely good, and did great credit 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. Toole attended as toastmaster.
In the gallery there were a number of ladies, who ap-
pend to be much interested in seeing and hearing all
that was going on.
