pany. Among the speakers were Daniel
S. Dickinson, General Diven, General
Vinton, A. A. Low, Esq, George Ban
croft, Hon. Robert j. Walker, James Nc

the speeches of Mr.. Bancroft and Sir
Morton Peto:
REMARKS OF Mr.. BANCROFT.
The seventh toast-"England and the
United States To preserve amicable re-
lations between them forever let their in
terests be entwined, and let them deal
Justly with each other" was responded to
by Mr. George Bancroft and Sir Morton
Peto. Mr.. Bancroft said: In the Old
World England stood foremost in popular
liberty, and America in the New. Could
not two such countries stand amicably
together? How intimately were they
related to each otherl Our rich prairies
produced the Til feed which England needed,
and the looms of England produced their
manufactures for us. The ships which
passed between the two countries were
but the shuttles in weaving them together.
The discoveries of art and science were
common in their beneficial results. Ameri-
can works of literature and art found their
admirers in Europe, and it was only re-
Gently that his friend Mr. McHenry had
secured the efforts of our Bierstadt for Eu-
rope. The statesmen of America might
not have made much impression in Europe,
but we did justice to British statesmen.
All did Justice to the merits of Golden, who
L. h., IL Of al On
mity existing between England and France,
he was laboring for humanity everywhere.
America was a child of labor andl abor
was the stepping stone to honor and pow
er. On the part of America there never
was anything wanting TO harmonious
understanding. Now, would England do
us the same justice2 In America each
man lived the life of the nation-all were
interested in its welfare, and hence 1t was
that those who had in some instances
come from the forge or the anvil had been
true representatives of the people and
exemplary administrators of the govern
ment. [Applause.
RENcTRKs OF SIR S. MORTON AETo.
Sir S. Morton Peto-who was re-
ceived with great cheering-responded for
his part. After returning thanks on be-
half of himself and his party for their
welcome, he adverted to the necessity Of
ENGLAND and America standing shoulder
TO shoulder in their career of
progress. Throughout our late strug-
gle and he would say 1t with
all candor, any other than policy of non
intervention would have been an unwar-
ranted impertinence, as this country was
large enough to do without foreign inter
ference. We might have thought there
was want of sympathy, but how could
we expect such deep sympathy IN the De-
ginning of the struggle when Mr.. Buchan-
an. whom in England they knew and es-
teemed. expressed his doubts of the justice
of the effort2 He and his party had gone
throughout the country, and they had seer
what had left profound impression: M
nation had hitherto seen a million of mel
in arms, and no naticn had seen such al
army absorbed so quietly into the industry
of the country. Nothing had occurred
like the late struggle, and, from what h
had experienced, nothing was seen like th'
cementing together again Of the disseyer
ed ties Of the people of this country
(Applause)
