THE LORD MAYORS LAYOUT.

LONDON, November l0.-The Lord May,
or's banquet took place at Guild Hall
tonight. Nearly nine hundred guests
were present, among them Her Maiesty's
ministers and their wives, Count Won
Munster, the German ambassador; Mr.
Hoppin, United States Charge d'AfTaires;
Lord Chelmsford, Col. Emlyn Wood and
Lord Justices Sir William Brett and Hon.
Alfred Thesiger.
The members Of tho Ministry and Lord
Chelmsford aud Col. Wood were warmly
greeted with cheers as they entered.
The toast, "To the health Of Her Mai.
esty, the Queen" was given and received
with appropriate hOnors. -
Count Won Munster, replying to the
toast, ITO the Foreign Ambassadors, !"
declared that none were more desirous
than Germany and the German Emperor
10 see the peace Of the world maintained.
Lord Beaconsfeld, rising to reply to the
toast Of the evening, "The Health OF Her
Msiesty's Minister'S" was received with
three times three cheers. He said the as
pect Of affairs was more satisfactory than
when he last spoke on similar occasion.
Business was now being done which three
month ago would have been deemed i'm
possible. The only question now was
whether the revival was temporary or per-
manent. The opinion OF Her Maiesty's
government was that the revival was OF a
permanent and lasting character. He
thought that official returns demonstrated
that fact, because they showed that the
revival was not local but universal. For
instance, the great iron industry has
doubtless in q great measure thoroughly
revived, owing to the constant demand
from the United States; but the returns
prove the purchases OF iron were not
limited to the United States or various
European countries, but were occasioned
by the miscellaneous demands Of our ma.
tive industries. Every article of tropical
produce had risen in value. The chemical
trade, which was great index OF pros.
perity, has been unable to execute its
orders. The rise in the value OF silver
would, in all probability, release the
Indian statesmen Of one OF their greatest
perplexities. During the period Of un-
precedented depression there had not
been a single meetingt to express discomfort
with the National institutions. He wished
our brilliant brethren in Ireland would
be little more emulous OF this example
The Irish Problem.
He was at a loss to comprehend how
the Irish people had brought themselves
to believe that the best remedy for econo-.
mical distress was political agitation and
social confusion. Loud laughter and
cheers. Doubtless there were portions OF
Ireland where there would be considera.
bic suffering il remedy was not offered.
The Irish people should remember that
they never appealed to the English sym.
pathy in vain3 1t would be the duty OF Her
Majesty's Ministers to watch the condi-
tionlof Ireland with an anxiety required,by
the situation. The Irish people should
condescend to remember that their har-
vests, though bad, and though they were
much more dependent upon itthan are the
English people upon theirs, still was much
better than the harvests OF England.
The East India Military Operations.
Addressing the Lord Mayor, Lord Bea.
consteld said: When addressed YOUR
predecessor informed him that the Gov
ernment was contemplating large military
operations in Central Asia, the object be-
ing to strengthen and render secure the
northwestern boundary OF the Indian
Empire. These operations have been sig
nally successful, and British influence Is
fully established in Central Asia. loud
cheers. Hero Beacousfeld warmly eulo.
giZed Lord Lytton and the avenging army
in Afghanistan. Referring to South Africa
he said the recent war there had taught
the colonist something OF the art OF SELF
defense, on which they must chiefly rely.
We are about to effect some changes there
which will contribute to the increased hap.
piness Of the populations around which
the colonists dwell.
Empire and Liberty IL His MOTTO.
II view external relations generally, /
would say that Notwithstanding Europe
may be covered with millions OF armed
men, we have not merely the hope, but
but belief, that peace will be maintained.
In assuming that peace will be maintained
l assume that no great Power would
shrink from its responsibility. II the
most extensive and wealthiest Empire in
the world, with perverse Interpretation
OF its insular character, turns an indifEer-
ent ear to the feelings and fortunes Of
Continental Europe, l believe the country
is endangered. 1t is to such an indifFef.
ence that attribute many fatal wars.
But il the power aud advice OF England
are felt and heard in the councils of
Europe, have conviction that peace
will be maintained for long period.
loud cheers.l II England deserts her
natural post in the councils OF Europe,
war is too probable. A celebrated Roman
being asked what his policy was, replied,
Imperium Et LibertoS. That Is short pro.
gramme, ,buti it would not disgrace British
Ministry. 1t is one on which the exist.
ing Ministry will always act. In propos.
ing your I.ordshtp's health, shall this
time next year, in all probability, have the
pleasure to congratulate you on your skill,
ful administration. Loud and prolonged
cheering
Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, also addressed the company
aud in the course Of his speech, declared
that the financial position OF the country
need create no alarm.
