After grace had been pronounced at the close as at
the beginning of the banquet by the Rev. Canon Trevor,
"the loving cup" was passed round, after the usual
greeting delivered in the name of the Lord Mayor to all
his guests, in the usual civic fashion, by Mr. Harker,
the London toastmaster, and a flourish of trumpets. The
less said about the singing the better.
The CHAIRMAN—May it please your Royal Highness,
my Lord Mayor, my lords, and gentlemen, the first
toast which, as chairman of this large and important
assemblage, it is my duty as well as my privilege to
propose to you, is one which will be anticipated by all
who hear me.—(Loud cheers.) The first thought which
naturally springs from the inmost recesses of a Briton's
heart on these festive occasions, whe❑ warmed with so-
cial intercourse and genial cheer, we naturally turn our
thoughts to all that are nearest and dearest to us, is a
cordial and heartfelt aspiration for the health and hap-
piness of that beloved Sovereign.under whose mild and
benignant sway those comforts and blessings are con-
tinued to us. The days of chivalry, as it was remarked
by an eminent departed statesmen, are indeed gone by,
when a thousand swords would have leaped from their
scabbards to avenge the slightest injury or insult offered
to a Queen, but' there aro yet thousands and tens of
thousands of honest hearts and hands on Britain's soil—
ayel and amongst those whose hands are better used to
spade, to plough, to shuttle, and to loom than to war-
riors' steel, who would to the beat of their ability and
power rally round the person and the throne of Queen
Victoria.—(Loud cheers.) I shall therefore conclude by
giving--" The health of our gracious Queen, and long
may she reign over ns."—(Tremendous and continued
cheering and applause.)
As soon as the cheering had subsided,
The CHAIRMAN again rose and said,—ln the presence
of the august personage who has this day honoured us
with his company, I feel considerable difficulty in saying
all which my feelings would prompt me to; but I trust
I carry the feelings of all this large assembly along with
me when I say that the claims of his Royal Highness to
the gratitude and affection of the people of this his

- •
adopted country from the first of his appearance amongst
us are founded on this pure and worthy idea, and is that,
whilst carefully abstaining from interfering in the poli-
tical contests of the day, ho has never shrunk hum
coming forward as befits his high station, his distin-

guished character, and his eminent abilities in the pro-
motion of any scheme which has for its object the fur-
therance of the social, the agricultural, or the commer-

cial interests of the country.—(Loud cheers.) In the
language of the Romans of old, it might well be said of
his Royal Highness—acsarem portas et fortunas seas—
" Yotik carry the hopes and fortunes of Britain with
you."—(Cheers.) I believe I express the feelings of
'his meeting and of the country when I say that since
'he first appearance of his Royal Highness among us
.e has entitled himself in every place to tho gra-
qtude, as he has endeared himself to the affections
of the peoplo of this country.—(Loud cheers.) His
claims aro founded on this sure and certain
basis, that while wisely_abstaining frQui mixing in
