trate. Tonight the annual Lord
Mayors banqnent took place at Guild
Hall. Some nine hundred guests were
present. Mr.. Gladstone, who was
among tho number, was looking very
poorly. The Duke of Argyle, Mr..
John Bright, Mr.. Childcrs, Secretary
OF State, Mr.. Chamberlain, President
OF the Board Of Trade, and Hon. Mr..
Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
were absent. Considerable comment
was also indulgcd in by the absence of

The statement is made to-day, and
has caused u decided sensation in all
circles, social and political, that MIR.
gladstone has been requested by the
queen to apply TO Parliament at its
forthcoming session for grant Of
100000 to help the Prince OF Wales to
pay Off such of his debts as arc con-
sidered pressing, and for an addition
OF 100000 year to His ROYAL High
ness allowance-GIO, 900 a year, ire
spectivc of the net revenues of the
Duchy Of Cornwcll (Which amount to
nearly go, 900 n ycar( and of the
Princess 9l0,OO0.
1t is further stated that Mr.. Glnd-
stone declined "respcctfully, but firm
w. to comply with the request, allcg-
ing that If any such grant or increased
allowance were required it should be
made by the Quecn hcrsclf-not asked
from tho public purse. Tho story,
which seems to be very generally be-
Nevcd, rests upon the authority Of Mr..
Bowlcs' Vanity Fair. If it be true,
Mr.. Gladstonc's course cannot fail to
increase his popularity, tor-without
any disrcspect to the Prince of Wales
the majority Of the nation would
certainly hold that this is no time for
increasing his or any allowance, espc-
cially In view Of the great private for
tune possessed by the Queen, and of
tho further fact that if the Prince of
Wales has incurred debts it is because
tho hcir-appnrent has been compelled
to discharge duties and assume cx-
pcnses that in ordinary circumstances
would fall to the share of the sovereign.
