He Has His Say ON Matters Econom-
ieM and Political.

London, Nov. 1.-THE lord mayors
banquet took place at Guild hall last
night. Nearly 900 hundred guests
were present.
Among the guests were her majesty's
ministers and their wives, Count Won
Munster, German ambassadors; Mr..
Hoff1n, U. S. charge de affairs; Lord
Chelmsford, Col. Wood and the lord
justices.
The members of the ministry, Lord
Chelmsford aud Col Wood were
warmly greeted with cheers as they en-
tered.
Toasts to the health of her majesty
the queen were given and received with
appropriate honors.
Count Won Munster, replying to the
toast to foreign ambassadors declared
that none were more desirous than
Germany and the German emperor to
see the peace Of the world maintained.
Lord Beaconsaeld, rising to reply to
the toast of the evening, the health of
her majesty's ministers, was received
with three times three cheers. He
said the aspect of affairs were much
more satisfactory than when he last
spoke on a similar occasion. The busi-
ness that was now being done, three
months ago would have been deemed
impossible. The only question now
was whether the revival was temporary
OF permanent. He thought the official
returns demonst, ated the fact, because
they showed that the revival was not
local but universal. For instance the
great iron industry had doubtless in a
great measure revived owing to the de-
mand from the United States, but the
returns prove that purchases of iron
were not limited to the United States or
to the various European countries, but
were occasioned by the miscellaneous
demands of our native industries.
Every article of tropical produce had
risen in value. The chemical trade
which was great index of prosperity
has been unable to execute its orders.
The rise in the value of silver would in
all probabilities release Indian states
men of one of the greatest perplexities.
During the period of the unprecedented
there had not been single
meeting to express discomfort with the
national institutions.
He wished our brilliant brethren in
Ireland would be little more emulous
of this emample.
He was at a loss to comprehend how
Irish people had brought themselves to
believe that the best remedy for eco
distress was political agitation
and social confusion loud laughter and
cheers). Doubtless there were portions
of Ireland where there would be con-
siderable suffering if a remedy was not
offered. The Irish people should re-
member that they, never appealed to
English sympathy in vain. 1t would
be the duty of her majesty's ministers
to wat ,h the condition of Ireland with
the anxiety required by the situation.
The Irish people should condescend to
that their harvest, though
bad, and they we're much dependent on
it, it was still much better than the
English harvest.
Addressing the lord mayor, Beacons-
field said, when addressed your pre-
decessor informed him that the gov
ernment was contemplating large mill
tary operations in Central Asia the
object being to strengthen and render
secure the northwestern boundary of
the Indian empire. These operations
have been signally successful and
British influence is fully established in
Central Asia loud cheers).
Here Beaconsfield warmly eulogized
Lord Lytton and the avenging army in
Referring to South Africa he said
the recent war there has taught the
colonists something of the art of self
defence, upon which they must chiefly
rely. We are about to effect some
changes there which will contribute to
increased happiness Of the population
amongst which the colonists dwell. If
I view the external relations generally
/ would say that Notwithstanding that
Europe may be covered with millions
of armed men we have not merely the
hope but the belief that peace will be
maintained.
