The Banquet last night at the Max
well given by his Excellency Gov. Brown
to the members of the General Assembly
was a magnificent success. The prepare
tious of Mr.. Kean, notwithstanding the
short notice given him, were perfect, as the
elegant bill of fare which we insert will
fully attest. The tables loaded with tempt
ing viands, ornamented with artistic pyra-
mids and pagodas of cakes and CONNECTIONS,
were arranged in the form of the letter E,
the middle stroke extending the full length
of the others. The taste and skill OF Mr..
j. W. Venable,the steward of the Maxwell,
was evident in all the arrangements. The
bill of fare printed in beautiful style upon
the richest satin was as follows:

Gentlemen-I have no language to eX-
press the gra'itute l feel for your compli-
ment. Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
your labors are about to close, and with the
adjournment of your extraordinary session,
doubtless the labors of the Thirty-Seventh
General Assembly will terminate. l desire
to avail myself on this occasion to thank
you most heartily for your kind personal
and official relations with me since l have
been indicted into Office, for although there
NAV have been times when the policy indi-
Gated by the Executive may not have met
with full and cordial response from all
the members of your body, yet your action
was prompted by an honest difference Of
opinion, and / accord to you the same
honesty of purpose, the same patriotism,
the same devotion to duty that l claim
to myself. l know that you have done much
to promote the best interests Ofthe State Of
Tennessee and know full well, that when
YOU have returned to your constituencies,
YOU will meet with plaudits from your con-
stituents. They will say to each OF you,
YOU have met the full measure Of our eX-
pectations. And in thus dissolving our re-
iatiOns, which must occur in few days, l
may say that l shall part with you enter
tanning in my heart the highest regard, and
the best feeling for every member OF the
General Assembly. APP
plause.l Gentlemen who have honored
me with your presence this evening, can
only say that feel grateful to you for your
and to you, sir, l thank you.
If l might be permitted to say so, l would
wish that you might live thousand years
after my thousand years had expired and
during that whole time you might be my
successor. [Cheers.l
