FIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY

MINISTERIAL WHITEBAIT DINNER,

The Ministerial party, numbering forty-eight members
of the Disraeli Administration, left Westminster Bridge
on Wednesday evening, at ten minutes past seven, by a
gaily-decorated Citizen steamer, for the Trafalgar, at
Greenwich, to enjoy the whitebait dinner. The Premier,
on walking acress the Speaker's garden to join his
colleagues at the river side, was recognised by the immense
crowd who took up position on the bridge to witness
the departure, and the cheering which his presence
elicited was hearty and long-continued. While the little
steamer was getting under way the crowd so increased
that the traffic became suspended, and there were renewed
cheers.

Of the Cabinet Ministers the Earl of Malmesbury was
the only absentee, the Lord Privy Seal having some days
before the whitebait festival was fixed issued invitations
to a banquet at his own residence. -On disembarking at
the Greenwich Pier Mr. Disraeli received another
ovation ; and while the wearied administrators were
enjoying the good cheer of the Trafalgar, and no
doubt discussing the varied difficulties which beset their
course during a session of more than ordinary labour and
anxiety, considerable crowds remained outside the hotel,
ocersionally re-echoing the genial " hip, hip, hurrahs "
with which the customary toasts and the presentation of
the testimonial to the last nominated member of the
Administration were welcomed. It was close upon
midnight before "the party" returned to town, all well
pleeged to cordial union with their chief, and anxious for
the termination of that parliamentary toil which will
enable them to join in the long-expected " appeal to the
country."
