toast TO the health of hor Majesty the
Queen was given and received with appro-
priate honors. Count Won Munster. replying
to tho toast to foreign ambassadors, declared
that none were more desrous than Germany
and the German Emperor to see the pence Of
tho world maintained.
Lord Beaconsiield, 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 hs last spoke on
IL similar occasion. business was now being
done which three months ago would have
hsen deemed impossible The only question
now was whether tho revival was temporary
Or permanent. Tho opinnion Of her Majes-
ty'y government was that the revival was of
u permanent and lasting character; he
thought the official returns demonstrated
that fact, because they showed that the re-
vival was not local, but universal; for in
ataucc tho iron Industries hnd q dptibtess In Il
great me,snre revived, owing to the demnnda
from the United States but tho returns prove
that the purchases of iron were not limited to
the United States or various European conn-
tries, but were ocensloned by miscellaneous
demands or Our native Industries. Every ar

in all probability, release the Indian states

During u period Of unprecedented depres-
sion thcre had not been single meeting to

Hn wished our brilliant brethren IN Ireland
would be Il little more emulous OF this exam
pic, tie WAS ut a loss to comprehend how the
Irish people had brought themselves to be-
lieye that the best remedy for economical dis
tresB was political agitation. Loud laughter
and chcers.l Doubtless there were portions
of Ireland where there would be considerable
suffering If q remedy was not offered.
The Irish people should remember Tint they
never appealed to English sympathy in vain.
1t would be tho duty Of her Mnjesty's minis
ters to watch the condition OF Ireland with
All anxiety required by the situation. The
Irish people should condescend to remember
that their harvest, though band, aud though
they were much more dependent upon 1t than
nrn English people on theirs, etill 1t was much
better than tho harvest ct England.
Addressing the Lord Mayor, Lord Beacons-
iield said: "When ! addressed your prede-
eessor Informed him that the government
was contemplating large military operations
In Gentral Asia, tho object being to strrngthsn
ana secure tho northwest boundary of tho In
dian empire. These operations have been
signnlly successful, and British influence is
fully established In Central Asia." Loud
Cheers.
Lord Benconsfield warmly eu!ogized Lord
Lytton and tho avenging army IN Afghanis-
tan. Referring to South Africa, he said:
"Tho recent war there has taught tho col
onlsts something OF tho art of self-defense,
81 which they must In the future chiefly rely.
We are about to effect some changes there
which will contribute to the increased hapD-
ness Of the population among which the col
onists dwell.

1t was anticipated that BeacOnstield would
throw some light on the relations Of England
with Turkey, the future OF Afghanistan and
on the chances of the dissolution of ParlIa-
ment, but the concluding sentence OF his
speech Is accepted In some quarters as mega
tivng the idea Of dissolution. The Times
points out the absence OF any reference to the
Eastern question or to the Anglo-Turkish
convention, and says: "But IL the speech ie
not exciting it Is not disturbing and the ex.
planation offered by Sir Stafford Northcote
chancellor Of the Exchequer, respecting ths
| finances, will combine with Beaeonstield's ac
count Of the revival of trade to produce re-
assuring impression"
