Dlsraeli and others have pleaded for the
example Of the fRmily. Take their do
mestic virtues. George the First listed
George the Second-said he wes not his
son. think here, George the First was
mistaken. Every law.abiding English
man admits that Queen Yicioris 4 the
lawful Queen Of England. But she Is
only so because she Is the daughter Of the
Duke of Kent, who was the brother of
William the Fourth, who was the brother
of George the Fourth, who was the son Of
George the Third, who VIA the son Of
Frederick, who was theson of George the
Second, who must have been the son of
George the first Otherwise Queen Vic
toria would have no right to the throne.
If the statutory evidence of the legiti-
macy of George the Second be not
enough, I have no others to give you
George the First hated George the Sec
ond; George the Second equally hated
George the First. George the Second bit
terly dislIked Frederick. Frederick con-
temptuously spoke of George the Second.
Third; George the Third had little love
for Frederick. Words can't express
George the Thirds dislike for George the
Fourth. George the Fourth Knocked as
we'll as hated George the Third. George
the Fourth quarreled with the Duke of
York, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke
of Kent, and this IS the family your
American journalists ask me to be loyal

US a couple to whom he was not One Of
them we call the Duchess of Kendall, and
gave her e., 500 a year for her virtue
In our couRtry we have no corruption.
The other we call the Countess of Dar-
lington, and her pension best testifes to
her merit. George the Second was much
like Solom On-I do not mean in his wis
dom-but in his other manners and cns-
toms. Laughter and applause. We
gave one Of his unmarried wives FL 800
a year, and we gave her husband 912,000
to say nothing about it. IAppIAuse.]
Frederick, his son, his virtues have been
by Thackeray IN this epitaph:
Here lies Fred.
Who was alive,
And II doUd.
Had It been his father,
] had much rather;
Had it been his brother.
Btln better than another
Had IL been his sister,
None would have missed her
Had It been the whole generation,
Still better for the Nation.
But since tits only Fred,
Who was alive
And is dead,
There's nSthing mere to be said"
Laughter and applause.
OF George III, and his struggle against
the colonies, In this place, viii say moth
ing, lest it should be thought want to
win your applause. But of the twelve
hundred millions disbursed 10 bribe every
vagabond Prince of Europe against
struggling France; of the money paid to
forge the bank notes of France to destroy
her credit, and which drove it In the mad
ness ofdespair into the hands of Napoleon,
whose merit was that for a moment he
freed France from the foreign foot, no lam
guage could be too strong. OF George
the Fourth and the trial of England's
Queen, of the money paid from English
pockets to buy perjured evidence, Will
not speak. l ought, perhaps, to speak OF
the virtues of the Duke of York, for he
a0ds good. The evidence of his goodness
is clear. We built statue to him, and
in England we only erect statues 10 good
men; IN fact, there are some whose good
ness is only known by these statues. We
have erected monument to the Duke Of
York on Carlton House terrace. There is
a spike on the top of the monument
There are two theories about that spike.
The vulgar theory and the scientific. The
scientific theory is that it is q lightning
conductor the vulgar theory that 1t was
to file the Dukes unpaid bills
on. Tremendous applause. l incline
to the scientific theory. Laughter. The
spike is only about six feet high, and if it
had been intended to file the Duke Of
York's bills upon, it never would have
answered for any such purpose. Laugh
ter and applause. pass by William
the Fourth and his obstinate resistance
and cowardly giving way on the reform
question. / have nothing TO say against
her present MAJESTY. We only pay her
81, 500 600 per annum, and 1 do not OBJ
Ject to that. Once a year she opens Par
lament for US, and what more can We ex-
pect for that, Occasionally she pays
visit to London. About three years ago
Her Majesty came TO London to dedicate
the Rlackfriars Bridge and Holborn Via
duct. The London Daily Telegraph,
which is journal conducted with thesame
ability as your new 1ork heralo, oe-
voted columns to the subject 1t report
ed what the Lord Mayor said to the
Queen, and what the Qneen said to the
Lord Mayor, and told how the hearty
cheers Of the loyal populace went up. It
also gave the Commissioners speech to
the Queen and the Queens reply, and
again told how the people cheered. Twas
delighted that there had been So much en-
thusiasIn over the event. The facts are,
however, that Her Majesty was away
from Windsor Castle just about an hour
and halt and devoted Just that much
time to the ceremony Of dedication. It
was a fine day, and as the Queen had not
been to town for some time the people
filed the streets TO see her. In order to
crafty them she ganoped her horses
through the city, and spent as little time
IN town as possible. The ceremony at
the viaduct was something like this; The
Lord Mayor, who had been cautioned not
to make speech to Her Majesty, handed
written address to the Hon. Austin
Rrnce, who handed it to Her Majesty,
TAo, in return, handed her written ad-
dress to Hon Austin Bruce, who handed
it to the Lord Mayor The Lord Mayor
said nothing to the Queen, the Queen
