speeches..
General Grant was present last
Thursday night at a banquet given by
Prince of Wales presided. Prince Leo
pold, Prince Christian, the Prince of
Ieiningen, the Prince Of Sake Weimar,
the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis
of Hartford, the Earl Of Derby, the
Earl of Carnarvon, Sir Stafford North
cote, Mr.. Cross, and the Chief Justice,
Sir Alexander Cockburn, were among
the distinguished company present.
The Prince Of Wales, referring to
General Grant, in the course Of his
speech, said: ION the present occasion
1t Is a matter of peculiar qualification
to us al E%nglishmen TO receive Es
guest General Grant. ECheers. lean
assure him for myself and for all royal
subjects of the Queen that it has given
us the greatest pleasure tc see him us q
guest in this country. lCheers.
Earl Carnarvon proposed the health
of the visitors, and coupled with it
General Grants name: He said:
''Strangers of all classes, men of letters,
arts, science, state, and all that have
been most worthy and great, have, asst
were, come to this center Of old civiliza-
ton. venture, without disparagement
to any of these illustrious guests, to say
that lever has there been one 10 whom
we willingly accord 4 freer, fuller,
heartier welcome than we do TO General
Grant OH this occasion, not merely
because we believe he has heretofore
played the part of a distinguished Gem
eral, nor because he las twice filled the
highest office which the citizens of his
-raaf 1n,,pA, .y Osn GIL lNttf hgpot,Ca ,1-n
look upon him us representing that
goodwill and affection which ought to
subsist between us and the United
States. 1t has been my duty to be con-
nected with the great Dominion of Cam
ada, stretching several thousands Of
miles along the frontier of the United
States, and, during the last three or
four years, l can truthfully say that
nothing impressed me more than the
Interchange of friendly good Offices
which took place between the W
countries under the auspices Of Presi-
dent Grant"
General Grant replied that he felt
more impressed than he had possibly
ever felt before on any occasion. He
came under the impression that this
was Trinity House, and that Trinity
consisted OF the army, navy, and peace.
He thought it was u place Of quietude,
where there would be no talk or toasts.
He had been, therefore, naturally sur
prised at hearing both. He had heard
some remarks from His Royal ighness
which compelled him to say i word in
response. He begged to thank His
Royal Highness for those remarks.
There had been other things saidduring
the evening highly gratifying to him.
Not the least gratifying that there
were occasionally in this country party
fights as we'll us in America. He had
seen, before now, q war between three
departments of State-the Executive,
the Judicial, and the Legislative. He
had not seen the political parties of Eng
lsnd 60 so far as that. He would initiate
their Chaplain, who had set a good
example Of ~oratory-that WAS short
ness-and say no more than simply
thank His Royal Highness and com-
pany on behalf of the visitors.
