The Lord Mayors Banquef-Speeches
from Schenck and Gladstone


from Sehenck and Gladstone.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-L.ord Mayors Day
closed with the usual banquet, given by the
Lord Mayor at Guild Hall, which was at
tended by brilliant company, consisting Of
Ministers, members of Parliament, Ambas
sailors and other distinguished persons.
Among the guests were Gladstone and sew
eral members Of the cabinet and Schenck,
the American Minister.
Toasts were given to the diplomatic corps,
which was fully represented, and responded
to by Mr.. Schenck, who in the course of
his remarks made a grateful and feeling
allusion to the sympathy with Chicago in
their great calamity. The speech was
loudly and Significantly applauded. SIS
Mr.. Gladstone replying to "Her Majesty's
Government" said he was thankful to be
able to state that at present England had
actually no quarrel, feud or controversy
with foreign powers anywhere on the sur
face of the globe. Englands place in
Europe was that of one among many
sisters, inseparable from the European
family, but. he was glad that
her peculiar position removed her from risk
of European dissensiOns, Peace was never
so certain as now. He believed that the
sentiments, friendship and attachment
which had been expressed by the Minister
of tie United States, on the part of the
American people, fer their breth-
rem in Great Britain, were uni
Yersally felt in the breasts of both
nations. when" said Gladstone,
with much earnestness, "the American
Minister spoke of relief for Chicago, the
heart of this great Hall answered him
America has been equally ready to pour out
her treasure for our relief" Prolonged
eheering.]
The treaty of Washington, he continued,
not only obviated future controversial was
an extension of that international Code
which was the most remarkable of the tri-
umphs ofmOdern Civilizations and might pos
sibly inaugurate the peaceful arbitraments
of all disputes among nations.
The Aremier concluded by declaring
England had little to fear from internal
troubles, and the Internal Society, source
of so much apprehensions to her neighbOrs
caused no uneasineSs here

M. O'Hara, from Louisville, proposes to
perform a feat in Lexington, on Monday
next, which will eclipse Weston. He pro-
poses to walk 10l miles around the Licking
ton trotting track inside of twenty-four
hours. Mr.. O'Hara is rapid walker, hav-
ing accomplished six miles in an hour, and
mile in seven and half minutes. He

IT will be news to many play-goers that
the sensational drama of "The Corsican
Brothers" was founded on an incident in
the lives of the famous, or notorious, French
Louis Blanc and his brother
Charles. Moncure D. Conway says it is so,
and Conway is on friendly personal rela-
tons with the Blancs. Those who are
thrilled by the startling situations in the
drama viii have new sensation in know
ing they were founded on fact, and that the
original parties are still alive.

Slight Disturbance on Cedar.

The ordinary quietude of Cedar street,
about the corner of Cherry, was yesterday
momentarily rufiled by muscular demon
stration between two citizens named Sulli-
van and Mace. Before any decisive point
was reached they were separated and in
the hands Of the police. A facetious
legal friend who witnessed the Oc-
currence informs us that the parties named
"fel out something about quareling,' and it
is very probable that this fact was the cause
of the disturbance. 1t is but just to the
parties belligerent to state that neither of
them is attached professionally to the Shout
er-hittingefraternity.

Col. KiIIebrew's speech at Jackson

The Jackson PIdindedler of the 4th inst.
says: "Mr. j. B. Killebrew, the Agricul-
tural Editor of the Nashville UNION AND
AMERICAN, delivered an address on Thurs
day. We cannot do justice to this address
in a sentence or two. 1t was distinguished
by manly thought and beautiful language !;
and it ought to be published and scattered
broadcast over the land. Its whole spirit
was to show the dignity of intelligent labor
the honor of farming, and the necessity
OF developing the resources of the country.
The speech was listened to with profound
attention by an immense concOurse of peo-
PIE. The orator acquitted himself with
great credit to himself and to the occasion.
The crowd on Thursday was, if any differ
ence, greater than that on Wednesday. The
interest was unabated, and every indication
is that the two remaining days will be full
of interest. We believe that the people have
enjoyed themselves, and that the fair viii be
remembered as pleasant time"

The MarkethOuse Shit.

In the Chancery Court yesterday, in the
case of the State of Tennessee VS.. the Nav
or and City Council of Nashville, the coun-
sci for the REALTORS, Messrs. Humphreys and
Lindsey, moved that the original and
amended bills, praying that the present
MarkethOuse system be abated as public
nuisance, be taken for confessed, and set for
hearing &C pdrte, as no defense had been
made by the city,within the time prescribed
by law. Mr.. Howell, on behalf of the City
Council, stated that City Attorney would
soon be elected, whose duty il would be to
attend to this case, and asked the Court to
give the city until the first Monday in Jan
uary to file a defense to the suit. Mr..
Howell stated he had no authority TO ap-
pear on behalf of the city authorities, but
made the request, as member of the FL
nance Committee of the City Council, in
order to save the city the expense of en-
ploying Especial attorney. Tbs counsel for
the Realtors stated they were not asking
any precipitate action in the matter, but
that they would move the Court for an in
junction, were any steps taken by the city,
looking to perpetuation of the nuisance.
The Court gave the city until the first Mon
day in December, within which to make its
defense.

Wonderful PeryersifR.

Instead of appropriating several hundred
dollars to purchase hogs for use by the city
in the scavenger department, both branches
of the City Council last night adopted bill
prohibiting swine running at large through
the streets. The perversity Of human ma
ture, even as exhibited by the intelligent
gentlemen composing the City Council, is
sometimes most remarkable. The indiscre-
tons of hasty legislation are innumerable.
