The new lord mayor gave the Gus
tomary banquet at Guild Hall tonight.
Nearly 200 guests attended. Glad
stone, ChHllemet. La Cour, French ambas-
ssdor, and Condostaulos, Greek minister,
were received with enthusiastic cheers.
Lowell, the American minister, was
present. Gladstone, in reply to toast
to her majesty's ministers, said the alum
dant harvest was one OF the fortunate
circumstances for Ireland. 1t would be
| the duty of The ministers to carefully ex-
anime the condition of the law in regard
TO the wants Of Ireland, and if they had &C.
casion to believeiis provisions insufficient
for the happiness of the people, they
would csll on Parliament to deal with
the subject in a spirit If equity and
justice. Legitimate influences are at
work in Ireland and m sintainance of
public order is to be considered first.
Those who wish to occupy evicted forms
are INSTRUCTED by menace, intimidation,
crime and an infringement Of the rights
Of free citizenship. Although govern
ment Is anxious TO promote practicable
Improvements in the land lawi, yet it
recognizes as duty above all others, the
duty Of enforcing the law for the purposes
OF order. Obligations incum bent upon it
are to protect every citizen in the enjoy
ment life and property, and under Ger
tain circumstances government may
be compelled to ask for certain increase
of power. 1t will never anticipate such
contingency; yet, if it arises, it will not
shrink from The obligations devolving
upon it. Although the Zulu war is
ended, yet another struggle has been
begun in South Africa, which l am
sorry to say has not yet terminated. As
to India, we have not yet yet accom-
| plished all we wish. Some portions Of
Afghsnistan have been restored to
more hopeful condition. We have been
able TO diminish by 10000 men the force
engaged IN Afghanistsn. Referring to the
eastern question, Gladstone said: The late
premier justly stated that if the treaty
Of Berlin was carried out it would be
very beneficial and that England would
not shrink from the obligations of the
treaty. When we came into power we
determined to uphold the treaty. We
deny that we are the enemies of Turkey.
On the contrary, we have pursued a
policy by which Turkey may continue to
exist. To justify that existence two
things are necessary, the fulfllment of
the international obligations, and that
the condition OF Ottoman subjects may be
rendered tolerable by equal laws. No
progress has yet been made in the great
question. AS to European concert, we
did not wish it to be the duty CT Eng
land to take upon itself alone
the obligations Of the treaty of
Berlin, but we wished to promote
concert by amicable means. We have
lust received telegram from the Sultan.
He has good hope that during to-
day or 10 morrow hikhiy satisfactory
news will be received from Dulcigno.
Gladstone brought his speech 10 a close
with toast to the health Of the lord
msyor.
