ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MANSIOX-110USE,

Friday, a very splendid entertainment was given by the Lord Mayor.
on the occasion of the swearing in of the new Alderman of Farringdou-
within-ward, to between sixty and seventy distinguished persons,
amongst whom were the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary from the United States of America to the Court of Rteo.'4. i:is
Majesty's Attorney-General, Baron Rolland, and several of the Ahi ,
men and leading members of the Corporation.
After the usual loyal tosses bad been enthusiastically given,
The LORD Maros proposed the health of the new Alderman.:. •I
prefaced it in a highly complimentary manner. He rejoiced at presiding
at the first entertainment to which Mr. Kelly had been introduced
Alderman, the more especially as it was at his suggestion that
lent individual had entered into public lite.
Alderman KELLY, in returning thanks. declarul his strong frier'-
ship for the Lord Mayor, whom he had known tor a number of years.
and who was qualified to discharge the duties of the office he had be. n
unanimously appointed to with ability, zeal, and independence. I f.!
concluded by proposing the health of the Lord Mayor.
His LORDSHIP returned thanks. and adverted with great warmth of
feeling to the manner in which he had been elected to the office of
chief magistrate. He was bound for ever, he declared, in tics of grati-
tude to his fellow citizens for their kindness to hlm—a kindness which
was sure to be more actively displayed on occasions when unworthy or
interested motives might be assigned for conduct which deserved a
more charitable construction. (Cheers.) If he had acted erroneously
in the part he had lately taken on a certain subject of paramount inte-
rest, he knew the generosity of his fellow citizens too well not to be
convinced that they laid no censure upon the intention, and he sliculd
endeavour to do justice to the meaning of his heart, by keeping as
much as possible from amongst the stragglers in the march of it:tel.
leer. (Laughter, and cheers.) In fact, there was no ciruum.
stance of his life which was not in some way or other connected by ao
obligation upon his part to those whose chief magistrate he had the ho-
nour to be. His lordship in proposing the health of the American An..
bassador to Russia, said that he was most happy in the recollection that
it had been always the pride of the possessors of the Slansion-houAe to
entertain any distinguished foreigner who might visit the city, and he
had now the happiness of tendering the hospitalities of that house to
an eminent and able foreigner who sat by his side. Foreigner did
he say No, he would call him brother ; foe in speaking of an
American he was speaking of one who was drscendcd from the flame
parentage, who spoke the same language, and who possessed the
same love of liberty, which was the birthright of every Briton.--
(Cheers.)
Mr. RANDOLPH returned thanks in a very elegant speech. He was
peculiarly happy in being associated with the citimir of the great me.
tropolis of England, who, as well as those of his own country, were de-
scended from the Anglolaxons, who spoke the same language, which
was so extensively and vigorously spread over both hemispheres, and
which would continue to increase and to be used as the vehicle of the
grand inspirations of liberty, when every other language should be con.
signed to the tomb, and be found only amongst the recollections of pos.
terity.--(Cheers.) With every wish for the prosperity of the city of
London and with the deepest sense of gratitude tor the hospitality and
friendship with which his Lordship had honoured him, he returned
thanks for America and for himself—one of the humblest of its citizens.
—(Loud cheers.)
The next toast was " Baron Bolland." The Loan Mayon said he
felt highly honoured by the company of the worthy and excellent judge,
more particularly as there had ban a long connexion between that
gentleman and the city of London.
After Baron BOLLARD had returned thanks,
Sir CHARLES FLowea gave the " Lady Idayorese" with three times
three enthusiastically.
The LORD Maims in a very unaffected manner returned his warm
acknowledgments for the honour done him, and proposed the health ,
of " Sir Thomas Denman, his Majesty's Attorney-General," who had
foe a series of years been connected with the city of London greatly to
the satisfaction of every individual belonging to it,—who had endeared
himself to all by his kind and amiable manners as a private gentleman.
by his upright and impartial conduct as a judge, and by his inde-
pendent and consistent character as a member of the legislature. (Loud
cheers.)
The ATTOILEXY-GENERAL in returning thanks said, he could
not adequately express his feelings town.* the citizens of London.
Prom the moment of his election to the office which he had lately re.
sieve, no one unpleasant feeling had crossed his mind ; on the con.
nary, he had ever been treated with the most distinguished kindness,
and be should to his latest breath feel the highest gratification at con.
tinuing to deserve the good opinion of his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.)
" The Magistrates of the city of London."
" The city representatives,' and several Win toasts.
The guests had no reason to complain of the promise of hospitable
treatment made by the Lord Mayor at the time of his election.
We understand that 16 successive dinners are to take place at the
Mansion-house during this season, so that the Corporation regularly
crack their fingers at the cold weather.
