deId's Speech.

LONDON, Nov. 12th.-The Lord
Mayors banquet took place at
Guildhall last night. Nearly nine
hundred guests were present,
among them Her Majesty's Minis
ters and their wives, Count Won
Munster, German Ambassador, Mr..
Hopin, United States Charge DAT
faires, Lord Chelmsford, Col. Evelyn
Wood, Lord Justice Sir William
Brett and Hon. Alfred Thesiger.
The members of the Ministry, Lord
Chelmsford and Colonel Wood
were warmly greeted with cheers
as they entered. A toast to Her
Majesty the Queen was given and
received with appropriate honors.
Count Won Munster, replying to
the toast to foreign ambassadors,
declared that none were more de-
sirous than Germany and the Ger
man Emperor to see the peace of
the world maintained.
Lord Beaconsfield, on rising to
reply to the toast of the evening,
"The Health of Her Majesty's
Minister'S" was received with
three times three cheers. He said
the aspect of affairs was much more
satisfactory than when he last
spoke on a similar occasion. Busi-
ness was now being done which
three months ago would have been
deemed impossible. The only
question now was whether the re-
vival was temporary or permanent.
The opinion of Her Majesty's Gov
ernment was that the revival was
of q permanent character. He
thought official returns demonstrat.
ed that fact, because they showed
that the revival was not local but
universal. For instance, the great
iron industry had doubt
less in a measure re-
vived, owing to the demands
from the United States; but the re-
turns prove that the purchases of
iron were not limited to the United
States or the various European
countries, but were occasioned by
the miscellaneous demands of our
native industries. Every article OF
tropical produce has risen in value.
The chemical trade, which was Il
great index of prosperity, has been
unable to execute its orders. The
rise in the value of silver would, in
all probability, release Indian
statesmen of one of their greatest
perpleXities. During period OF
unprecedented depression in the
country there has not been a single
meeting to express discomfort will
national institutions. He wished
our belligerent brethren in IRELAND
would be a little more emulous OF
this example. He was not at q los:
to comprehend how the Irish peo
pie had brought themselves to be-
lieve that the best remedy for eco
nomical distress was political agi'
tation and serious confusion. Loud
laughter and cheers Doubtless
there were portions of IrelanC
where there would be considerable
suffering ifa remedy was not offer
ed. The Irish people should remem'
Der that they have never appealed
to English sympathy in vain. |
would be the duty of Her Majesty
Ministers to watch the condition o
/ WIN thO abAlCty w
by the situation. The Irish people
should condescend to remembel
that their harvest, though bad, anC
though they were much more de
pendent on it than are the Eng
lish people on theirs, still was
much better than the harvest o
England.

ROME, November 18th.
President of the Council, Signol
Carroll, will not accepts the finan.
cial propositions of Signor Grimal-
di, Minister of Finance. The lat
ter is obstinate and if he leaves the
Cabinet he will enforce his views
on the Opposition in Chambers,
which would seriously endangel
the Cabinet. The leaders of the
Left have already had two inter.
views with Signor Carroll, in the
endeavor to arrive at an under
standing, but without result, with
a view to the arrangement of the
question of filling up the numerous
vacant cures in Prussia,
