Honors to Ferdinand De Lesseps,

NEW YORK, March 1.-The banquet in | honor of De LeEseps rendered by the mer- chants and citizens of this city, took place tonight at Delmonico's. The affair was the grandest witnessed in this city for some time, and was attended by 25O guests. The dining hall was decorated in the most elab- crate manner with flags of all nations, potted plants, evergreens and flowers The guests began to arrive at seven o'clock, and for an hour reception was held in the parlor ad- joining the dining hall. About eight o'clock the distinguished party sat down. De Les seps was escorted to seat in the centre of a raised table over which the stars and stripes and the French tri- color were entwined. He was joined by Rev. Dr. R. s. Harris, who presided, Mayor Cooper, General Schofeld, M. s. I. Mendonca aad others. Among other notable guests present were Judge DAly Alex. M. Holly, Fred M. Kelly, Messrs. Walker and George W. Childs of Philadelphia, President Porter of Yale College, President McCosh of Painceton, Governor Mcclellan of New Jer- sey, W. A. Cole, Hon. A. T. Hewitt, G. W. Carleton, John Jay, Lieutenant Wyse, J. Dirks, the great Holland engineer. and the whole of M. De Lesseps' staff.
 It was nearly nine o'clock when the chair = man rapped for order, and in 8 few remarks said they had assembled to give expression to their sympathy with advancement and pro gress. He then proposed the health of the United States, which was drank standing. The second toast, '.France and our sister Repub- lies of America, New York greets them all," was responded to by several. The third toast was ''Our honored and welcome gnest," and in proposing it Dr. Storrs spoke of the broth erly love and good feeling existing between the two great republics, France and America. The toast was received with tremendous ap- plause, and drank standing. M. De Lesseps, who responded in French, thanked the mer- chants and citizens of New York for the great honor they had conferred upon him, and for the splendid reception which they had rendered them. In speaking of the proposed canal he said the United States would receive the greatest benefit from it. He felt conf dent that 1t would be the means of restoring to the United States large per centage of her once great shipping traffic. De Lesseps' re- marks were received with applause. Speeches were also made during the evening by Messrs. Dirks, David D. Field, Mayor Cooper, Judge Daly, Frederick M. Kelly. General Schofeld and others.
