Schenck Speaks.
LONDON, July g. AT the banquet in
the Crystal Palace last night, Minister
Schenck on proposing the health of Pres
ident Grant, dwelt on the pride and at
tachment the Americans had for their
country. They were loyal because the
Constitution aud Government are of
their own choice, and they were loyal to
the Executive for the same reason. He
alluded TO the wonderful material pro-
gress of the United States. Both Eng
land and America had derived benefit
from the declaration of independence,
and friendlylfeeling was the new rule be-
tween the people of the two countries.
Mr.. Torrens referred to the late civil
war, and said he knew the Queen never
turned against America in the day of
trouble.
Among those AZ the American banquet
last night, were son of President Grant,
Sir Frederick Perkins, and Henry
Richards, member Of Parliament.
Opinion OF the British Press on the
banquet.
The HandorH says that none but
Americans could venture on such dis
play Of bad taste rs the banqaet and that
none but English would tolerate it.
1t is hardly decent for any loyal Eng
lishman to participate in celebrating
English disasters. The American insur-
rcction was about the most unproveked
rebellion in history at the present time,
Forbearance and Cancellation on the
English side is returned by American
with "insult and abuse, which is only
encountered by cringing tiattery, and
this Dean Stanley calls reconciliation and
peace-making, Among the Americans
are but few not actually participating in
the general system OF public plunder in
their country, who would not joyfully
exchange their institutions for the order
of honesty and loyalty of this empire,
from which a century ago, they made
their insane revolt.
