[ADVERIISEMENT.]—TDE NATURAL AND UN-
NATURAL STYLE.—If you wish to excel, study nature; this
is particularly applicable in making ornamental hair, as
unless the previous way of wearing it is imitated, so complete
a transformation takes place. that, as Byron says, " a mother
would not know her son." Ross and Sons having succeeded
beyond all calculation in producing perfect imitations of
nature, have given the name of the Invisible Ventilating
Head of Hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer
them to both ladies and gentlemen, from one guinea and a
half upwards. They likewise present an infallible mode of
measuring, viz —the round of the head; from ear to ear
across the ri.,e of the head ; from forehead to pole; the mea-
sure to be taken with a piece of tape, and a small lock of
hair enclosed, which will be closely matched, both in odour
and quality. Address, noes and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops.
gate-street, London.

Robert Stephenson Carr, a labouring mart, residing
at LeedF, lost his wife a few months ago, became di:leo/isolate,
and drowned himself. In his hat was found a piece of
paper, on ( nc side of which was legibly written his fullname

" My compliments to the jury, and this is not a case of in-

GRAND BANQUET IN HONOUR
OF THE NEPAULESE MINISTER.
The East India Company entertained his Excellency
General Jung Bahadoor Koonwur Ranajee, the Minieter
from Nepaul, on Saturday evening at a grand banquet,
at which a large party assembled to welt-spine the dietin-
guished guest and his companions. The company in-
cluded some of tee principal functionaries ref state, mem-
bers of both Houses of Parliament, and a number of gen-
ilemen cf eminence connected with India and the East
India Company. The entertainment we's provided at
the London Tavern, and all the resources or that esta-
blishment were employed to de honour on the occa-
sion. The tables, glittering with their massive and ele-
gant ornaments, had Leen prepared with admirable taste
and skill. •
Mr. Shepherd, the Chairman of the Court of Direc-
tors of the East India Company, end of course the Pre-
sident of the evening, entered the diniugarootn about
seven o'clock, accompanied by his Excellency the Ne-
paulese Minister and his brothers, Colonel juggut Shinn-
shere Jung Bahadoor Koonwur Ranajee, and Colonel
Deere Shumshere Jung Bahadoor Kimawur Ranajee, at-
tired in the brilliant and meguifice:ut dresses proper to
Orientals of their rank and station. As the elicits pro-
ceeded to their;places the Coldstream band, a hick was snr -
teemed in the gallery, played a grand Indian march. His
Excellency took his seat on the right of time chair; his
ccuntrymen, wish Lieutenant Lunt Singh, a mem her. of
theasuits, having piece at the heed of another table,
which occupied the middle of the apartment. By the
Minister's side was Capt sin Cavenesgin his interpreter ;
and his ExCellency's private secretary, Mr. Macleod,
and another interpre'er, were seated with his Excel-
lency's brothers. There were also on the right hand of
the chairman his Excellency the Belgian Ambassador,
General Viscount Gough, G.C.8., Lord Stanley, Sir G.
C. Iloblmusti, Bart., President of the Board of
Control, Mr. tlrigrene, Lord Ashley, M.P., Lord How-
/len, Lord Brougham, Mr. Fox Meule, M.P., Mr. E.

and Mr. Twirling. On the left of ilia chairman there

euty-Chairman of the Company ; his Excellency the
Danish Minister; his Excellency the American Minister;
the Marquis of Breadalbane, K.T.; Viscount Jocelyn,

ton, Sir J. L. Lushington, Sir J. H. Pelly, Barr.; Sir G.
Couper, Bart.; Sir C. Pasley, K.C.8.; and Sir J.
Campbell.
The dinner comprised every delicacy of the season,
and was admirably served. Not permitted by the Laws
of caste to join the company in partaking ot the itch
viands which loaded the tables, his Excellency and party
retired to the drawing-room as the bauquet commenced,
and there partoele of lychus (a sweet Chinese fruit, in
sppearance like a walnut), and of peaches, nectariiws,
and other choice fruits; returning to their places at the
cad l by the time dinner was over.
The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN gave the first toast—" The health of
her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen; long may she
reign in the hearts of her people."
The toast was drunk with all the honours, and with
great cheering, and was followed by the National Au-
them, performed by the band.
The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, observed
chat, independent of the claims which his Royal highnese
Prince Albert had upon our affection as the consort of
our beloved Sovereign, his Royal Highness had won the
esteem and resaect of all classes of her Majesty's sub-
jects.—(Loud cheers.) His anxious desire to promote
the happiness of others and the public good—estenevved
cheersj—his eminent talents and accomplishments, nod,
above all, the bright example of domestic virtue which
ee exhibited in his high station, had endeared him to
all the people cf this country.—(Much cheering.) The
toast would be " The health of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert," accompanied with " the health of the
Prince of Wales and the other members of the Royal
Family."
The toast was received with great applause.
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the company as fol-
lows:—My Lords and Gentlemen,—l now propose to
you a toast of special interest upon this occasion. We
have the honour 'of entertaining this evening a distin-
guished Nepaulese officer—(eireat cheering)—the Prime
Nlieister ot the Baja of Nepaul and Commander.in-
;Miff of the Nepauleee forces; his Excellency is
eharged with a mission of friendehip and of courtesy from
his Highness the Raja to her Most Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria.—(Renewed cheering.) Whether we
regard the novelty of his Excellency's visit as exhibiting
his part tlu,:t courage and energy for which he is so
famed—(Cheers)—or whether we view it as indicating
on the part of his Highness the Raja of Nepaul a desire
'o acquire useful information and knowledge, with the
intention of benefiting anti ameliorating the condition of
his people; in either view it is a subject of interest to us,
and to all who feel any concern in the affairs of India and
the happiness of the people.—(Cheers.) Although I
have no doubt that his Er.cellency during his sojourn in
England will witness a variety of good and evil, let us
hope that it will be impossible for him to return to his
native country without bearing with him some impres-
sions favourable to our own, honourable to our Govern-
ment, and creditable to Englishmen.—(nenewed cheers.)
His acute mind will not fail to perceive that in this
happy country loyalty to our Sovereign, respect for our
laws and constitution, are not incompatible wish the
freedom and liberty,of the subject.—(bear, hear.) He
will also be enabled to tell his Highness the neje, that
not only the East. India Company, but ail Englishmen, re-
seect other nations—(Hear, hear)—not on account of
their might or their power, not on the ground cf the
extent of their dominions, but on the simple principle of
mutual sympathy and good will among men.—(Cheers.)
There are many things, no doubt, familiar to us, which
must make a deep impression on his Excellency's mind
during his stay here—the wonderful discoveries of the
present age; among others, that mighty power which
has wafted him across the ocean from his own country
to England during the short period of forty days, a
power which seems ordained, under Divine Provide/see,
to annihilate the distance between nations and unite them
in harmony and peace.—(Cheers.) I will not detain
you with farther observations, but call upon Captain
Cavenagh to interpret these few remarks to his Excel-
lency, and more particularly to assure him that we wel-
come him to England with the greatest cordiality—
(Land cheering,)—that all Englishmen will be anxious to
promote his happiness while be is with us—(Cheers)-
-and that we trust his visit will have the effect cf ce-
menting the friendship which exists between the Raja
of Nepaul and the East India Company.—(Much cheer-
ing.) I give you " the health of the Raja of Nepaul
and his Excellency General Jung Bahadoor Koonwar
Ranajee, Prime Minister otNepaul and Commander of
the Forces."
The toast was received with an enthusiastic cheering,
with which his Excellency appeared much gratified. The
speech of the chairman was briefly interpreted to him,
and he rose and addressed the company in his native
tongue with much grace and fluency.
Captain CAVENAGH then said—My Lords and Gentle-
men, as a political officer attached to this embassy, it
becomes my duty to offer you an interpretation of the
speech which has just been delivered.—(Hear, hoar.) His
Excellency states that ho has seen that the destiny of
Great Britain is great; and more especially he has wit-
nessed the conquests which have been achieved in India
during the reign of her present Most Gracious Ma-
jesty—(llear, hear)—that the wisdom of her senators
and the gallantry of her soldiers have dazzled the
eyes of the world, as the sun dazzles the eyes of men-
kind.—(Loud cheers.) He states, that seeing this
wisdom and knowing this gallantry, he deemed it his
duty to visit this land, to pay his respects to the
Sovereign who ruled over so gallant and wise a nation;
that he had suffered—and it is suffering to one in his
position—in crossing the ocean, but that the kindness
and courtesy which he has found during his short so-
journ here repay him threefold for the misery he has
endured.—(Cheers.) He states that his army, his mu-
nitions of war, and his life shall be devoted hereafter to
the service of the British nation—(Loud appie use.)
trusts that the relations of amity and concord which at
present exist between the Government; shall never be
disturbed.—(Great cheering.) In conclusion he begs to
offer to you his most sincere and cordial thanks to time
honour you have conferred upon him in drinking his
health in connexion with his inonarch.—(Loud and-con-
tinued cheering.)

The CHAIIiiIAN next gave " tho Army and Navy." Of
lute years India had been the principal scene of their
triumphs; they had not been unappreciated.—(Cheers.)
Distance sometimes diminished the interest of great
events, but lately we had not been liable to the reproach

General Viscount GOUGH returned thanks') on, behalfof the army, and begged to assure the company trittt the
public approval of their exertions was f,lt as a great in-
cenlire to the performance of duty. The army would
continue under such auspices to perform their duty wil-
lingly, zealously, and effectually.—(Cheers.)
Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE acknowledged the toast on
behalf of the navy. Ile could not on such an occasion
refrain from asking permission specially to mention that
branch of the service which was more particularly un-
der the command of the Hon. the East India Company.—
(iTear.) It had been his fortune to have a large portion
of the Indian navy under his command, and it was only
justice to it to say, that for z,?al, intelligence. and intre-
pidity no service could excel it.—(Cheers.) He truited
we should continue in a state of peace, but he would
take leave to say, that should the navy be ',gain called
into the public service, our ships, now s.plien:Lbeevreire:eien:

His Excellency the BELGIAN AMBASSADOR acknow-
ledged the toast on behalf of himself and the other
foreign Ministers present, and begged to say that they

all hailed the preeence of their dear breether diplomatist
—(Loud cheers)—as one of the nurnerous proofs of the
happy rapidity with which the seeds of civilization,
sown by British wiedem, produced their best fenits.—
,(wenewed cheers.) Since their arrival in the centre of
that civilization, there visitors from Nepaul had had op.
poidunities, but never better than on this day, of wit-
nessing how nuegniEcently and how nobly England
'understood and practised hospitality, and, should They
remain longer in this country, they would be convinced
that Englishmen were not swayed in these attentions by
the mere attraction of novelty, but that these demonstra-
tions in favour of foreign Ministers, far from cooling
down into cold indifference, did very often, the lohger
they remained here, the more warm into true, and sin-
cere, and durable friendship.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave ‘! the Health of her Ma-
jesty's Ministers;" and, after expressing his regret that
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had been oblighd at
the last moment to excuse himself for not attending, on
account of some important business which lied just oc-
curred, congratulated the assembly on having at present
a very efficient representative cf the Cabinet in the per-
son af Car J. Hobhouse, the President of the Board of
Commissioners for the Affairs of India.—(Cheers.) The
Cabinet Ministers of this empire had no sinecure.—
(4eara beer.) ' In this courtier, where every man that
one met was more or less of a politician, and where the
differences of opinion on public affairs were almoit as
great us the varieties of the countenance, it was no easy
task to steer the vessel of the stets in that course vehicle
should gain the approbation of tee msjority of the
crew.—(blear, hear.) But, with all the differences of
opini::n as to the best mode of promoting the interests
of the country, it was a great satisfaction that nonme
doubted the patriotic feelings and motives of cur stritP:i-
rcen.—(Cheers.) He would say, long h. t that patrictie
feeling prevail in England; mid under such circum-
stances', he did not care what party might have the as-
cendency.—(Cheers.) Let us be true to ourselves, and
Euglend must stand firm and erect among the nations of
the earth, and command the respect of all the world.—
(Leud cheers.) He must take this opportunity of ac-
knowledging the zeal with which Sir J. Hubhouse was
always ready to co-operate with the Company in every
measure calculated for the good of India—(Llear, hear)
—and the kindness and courtesy with which he always
received thole personal communications which were so
essential to the efficient discharge of the duties of the
Court of Directors.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir J. HOBLIOLISE, rho was much cheered, spoke as
Follows:—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the East
India Company, lam aerry that the task of returning
the thanks of her Mejeety's Government fer the compli-
ment you have been pleased to pay them has not fallen
into abler hands; and if I could have had a choice upon
this matter I should have wished that my colleague
(Mr. Fox Manic) should have undertaken that pl- a:ing
duty. lie is, as you know, most nearly concreted with
that estiminble nobleman whom you have sent to govern
your possessions in the east—(Hear, hear)—he is be-
tides, well known to all of you—(Hear, heir)—and,
above all things, he nes the inestimable advantage of
being younger than myself—(A laugh)—and therefore
of having a certain chance of witnessing what I shall
not see—your future progress towards the welfare of
that great empire which you are called to
govern.—(Hear, hear.) But the service of senior-lin,
which oecadonelly, as we know, does not work well,
has unfortunately for you—(No, no)—thrown upon me
to say that which he feels as much, and would express
better than myself.—(Hear) Having been so long as-
sociated in the great task of administering the affairs of
the vast empire entrusted to you, I have so frequently
hid the honour of addressing you, that it would be idle
for me to tell you that I take a great pride in thinking
that the little I may have contributed towards that great
service has met with the approbation of the East India
Company.—(Hear, hear.) I am always happy to meet
you, Sir, and your friends—and I may add, my friends—
of tee East India Company; and more so on this than on
ordinary occasions, seeing before me that which has been
previously alluded to, the consequence, the fruit of your
continued endeavours to civilize and to add to the happi-
ness of, not only your own dominions, but those coun-
tries which are contiguous to the empire which, with
swift and giant strides, has now approached within so
short a distance of that other empire between which and
your own there is no one except the master of your
honourable guest who holds an independent and im-
portant control. Hear.) And were it not from the
previous conduct of the Sovereign whom he obeys, and
whom we esteem, I have no doubt that from this visit,
should it come to be a question between that Celestial
Empire which is on the north-east of his country and
the dominions administered by the East India Company,
we need fear no rivalry—(Hear, hear)—that our excel-
lent guest would at once perceive, not only that it was
for his interest, but that it was for the advancement of
that which lam sure he esteems, viz., the happiness of
his country, that he should not hesitate between that
empire and yours.—(Cheene) Allusion has been made
to the object of the visit of your guest. I happen to re-
collect the very words of the dispatch which announced
the coming of his Excellency. After the Resident, your
excellent servant Major Thoresby, announced that it
was the wish of ttc, Raja of Nepaul to send our friend
here, he said—"He comes to see, and to bring back in-
e!ligence of the prosperity and greatness of the country
and of its capital; of the perfection of its social condi-
tion, and of the arts and sciences which have contri-
buted to the comforts and conveniences of life."—(Hear.)
A more honourable purpose, n purpose more distinct
trout the ortnuary objects on which embassies are sent,
I think I never heard of.—(Loud cheers.) This is not
a mission of jealousy, not a misdon of mare compliment,
but a mission to convince you, Sir, to convince the lion.
East India Company, that your efforts are appre-
ciated ; that what you have done, so far from giving
uuibrage to contiguous states, has contributed to con-
vince :hem that in your friendship they see the best
props of their power—(Hear. bear)—and that they will
not abandon that friendship so long as the same symp-
teals give them the same reasons for wishing for veer
alliance.—(Cheers.) It is not more than 33 years ago
—my Noble Friend (Lord Brougham) must well 'aeon..
Isct it—when the illustrious statesman who occupied the
position vrhieii I now happen to till moved a vote of
teanks to the Marquis of Hastings f,r the conclusion of
the war with the state of Nepaul, that he thought it ne-
cessary to give a geographical account of Ow country,
describing its latitude and longitude, where it was, how
far off, who were the natives, and, in fact, talked of it as
it it were a region in the moon.—(Hear.) Since that day
—since the conclusion of peace—it has been . our good
fortune, and I presume to add, in the' presence of your
honourable guest, it has been the good fortune of the
state of Nepaul, that no hostilities have ever occurred
between that state and British India.—(Cheers). They
have understood the value of our friendship, and we
have understood the value of maintaining those in in-
dependence against whom we have no just cause of
complaint.—(Much cheering.) I hope that this friendly
intercourse may long continue.—(Cheers.) I hope that
the gentleman whom we now see at your right hand, so
worthily representing his nation, besides that intelli-
gence, which we heard was the main object of his mis-
sion, will carry back with him the conviction of the
sincere esteem which we mean to manifest, and I hope
shall manifest to him—(Hear, hear)—and of our respect
for the Sovereigu whom he represents.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The House of Lords,"
coupling with it the name of the Marquis of Breadalbane.
The Marouis of 13READALEANE briefly acknowledged
the toast.
The next toast was, " The House of Commons."

that he ought to be careful in speaking on behalf of 656

every Member of the House of Commons would rejoice

in the presence of distinguished foreigners on a mission
so commendable.—(Hear.)

The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the eminent
and distinguished lawyers present, and particularly Lord
Brougham, briefly noticing his Lordship's valuable
judicial services, and the importance of the judicial de-
partment, and objerving, that if there was anything of
which England could boast, it was the pure administra-
tion of justice.—(Cheers.)

The chairman has most justly observed, that of all the
institutions of this country, there is no one which can
stand any comparison whatever, in point of importance,
with that judicature of the country to which is entrusted
the administration of justice. It was well observed many
years ego, by
and the Commons,
a great historian and philosopher, that the
whole institutions of this country—the ring. the Lords,
the army and navy, and the two
Houees of Parliament—all ended, as regarded the most
sabs!antial interests ot' the people, with bringing twelve
jurymen into the jury-box to administer the civil and
criminal justice of the realm.—(Bear.)The chairrean
has kindly adverted to the humble share I have now had,
for sixteen or seventeen years past, in administering jus-
tice in the last resort in the Judicial Committee of her
Majesty's Privy Council. No doubt we have been as.
sista' in that important duty by the talents of an en-
lightened and independent bar, by their cousummate

not me to mingle politics with so sacred a subject; yet, as you, Sir, have already observed, these are times in
which almost every man you meet is more or less of a
politician, and, I might perhaps add, has more or less
knowledge of politics; and if I were to say, still fui they,
has rather less than more knowledge—(A laugh)—l
should, perhaps, not be sinning very much against the
strict reatter-of-fact.—(Laughter.) That being so, I,
among the rest, must proceea in ono sentence to say all
the polities that have occurred to me this night. We
have the presence of the noble and illustrions persons
who compose the Nepaulese mission. It is true that they

sake cf. thellon. Company themselves—that they may
be enabled to carry back an ample assurance that there
exists no disposition in any geerter cf this country,
whether in the Company or in tno " Melia Board," as it
is called in the east, the " Board of Control," as we call
