Lord Mayors show passed off without dis
turbance. 1t was mile long. In Cornhill
an elaborately decorated grand stand was
erected, upon which the Lord Mayor read
his address. In the procession were exhibit
tions of commercial products from Canada,

from the international fisheries exhibition.
including Grace Darling's boat. This elected
great enthusiasm The streets were packed
with spectators along the entire route. The
Lord Mayor was received with mingled
cheers and Kisses.
Previous to administering the oath of office
Chief-justice Coleridge delivered long
speech, in which he observed that all pre-
vious civic pageants had been connected with
the ancient hall at Westminster, which was
now destroyed. Lord Mayor Fowler was re-
ceived to-day in building which at present
has no history whatever. Changes might
occur in the city affairs. Authorities must
submit to the genius of the time, growing IN
accord with the spirit of the age, for it was
only by conforming itself to the high intelli-
gence of great people that any institution
could flourish
The banquet this evening was attended by
many distinguished persons. Waddington,
in honor of foreign ministers,
said there was no greater guarantee
of the peace of the world than the
hearty cordial, loyal, friendship between
Great Britain and France France had made
great progress and he had every confidence

one of aggression, but of holding her own.
The French government is earnestly trying
to settle the pending questions affecting
France His mission was one of peace.
France wished to approach Great Britain in
a spirit of goodwill, and he met with the
same desire on the part of England.
The Master of the Rolls responding to the
toast in honor of her Majestys judges,
referred to the recent visit of Lord
Chief-justice Coleridge y to America,
and said the latter found in
faults and all its good qualities, and he had
also found that the law as administered in
England and America was the most merci-
full, most generous and most Just ever ad-
ministered to any people of the world.
Gladstone replied to the toast in honor of
her Majesty's ministers. Referring to Wad-
dington's speech he said: ''Our hearts best
wishes are with France in every career of
peace, justice and orderly government on
which she may find it to her interest to
enter" Referring to the Missionary Shaw
affair, he said reparation by the French
government has been offered rather than de-
manded. He believed that the incident tends
to confirm the good feeling between the two
countries. Gladstone said orders had been
issued for the withdrawal of all of the En-
glish forces from Egypt, and the withdrawal
would include the evacuation of Cairo. All
the great powers had declared their attach
ment for the cause of peace.
With regard to Ireland he said: "There is
much to be done, much to be desired, much
to be lamented, but there is also much to be
hoped for. Peace and order must be firmly
maintained" [Cheers.]
Count De Lesseps replying to the toast of
foreign governments, expressed conviction
that in his approaching interviews with the
merchants and the ship owners of Great
Britain, on his Suez canal question, the
spirit of fair play by which he would be
guided, would dissipate all disagreements.
