The Lord-MayOr's banquet this evening was at
tended by many distinguished persons. NJ Wad-
dmgton the French Ambassador, replying TO toast
in honor of the foreign Ministers, said there was no
greater guarantee for the peace of the world than
hearty. cordial and loyal friendship between Great
Britain and France. France had made great pro-
gress and he had every confidence for her future
The policy of France was not one of aggression,
but one of holding her own. Inc Iencn N"NCIh-
ment was earnestly trying to settle the pending
questions affecting France. His mission TO London
was one of peace. France wished 70 9Pploach
Great Britain in spirit OF good Will, ana ne was
met with the same desire on the part OF England
ICheers.
The Master of the Rolls responding to q toast in
honor of Her Majesty's Judges, referred TO the
recent visit of Lord Chief Justice COleTidge to
America and said that Lord COleridge had found IN
America that law was administered with
all its faults and with all its good quail
ties, but he had found that law as
most merciful the most generous and the most just
ever administered TO any people in the world
Mr.. GLADsTONE's PEACEFUL SENTIMENTS.
Mr.. Gladstone replied to toast in honor of Her
Maiesty's Ministers. Referring to NJ. Wadding-
toms speech he said "0ur hearts best wishes
are with France in every career of
peace, justice and orderly government on which she
may find it her interest to enter" Referring to the
Missionary Shaw affair he said that what
had come from the French Government
had been offered rather than demanded.
He believed the incident would tend to confirm the
good feeling between the two countries. Mr.. Glad
stone said that orders had been given for the with
drawal of q portion Of the British forces from
Egypt, and that the Withdrawal would include the
evacuation of Cairo. All the Great Powers
Of Europe, he said, had declared their attachment
for the cause of peace With regard to Ireland he
said "There is much 10 be done, much to be de
sired, much to be lamcnted but there is also much
TO be hoped for. Peace and order must be firmly
maintained" lCheeTs.
Count de Lesseps, replying to a toast to the for
egn guests, expressed his conviction that IN his
approaching interviews with merchants and ship
owners of Great Britain on the Sucz Canal question
the spirit of far-play by which he would be guided
would disspate all disagreements.
