THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Nov. 28, 1872. Mr. Cyrus W. Field gave a grand banquet this evening at Buckingham Palace Hotel in celebra- tion of the American Thanksgiving Day. The company included Mr, Giadstone, M. P.; Gen- eral Cesnolg, Lord W. Hay, Baron Emile Erlanger, Mr, Baxter, M. P.; Sir Charles Wingfield, Sir John Hay, M. P.; Sir Charles Whealstone, Mr. Pender, M. P.; Sir James Anderson, Admiral lchards, Mr, Massey, M. P.; Mr. McArthur, Mr. Varley, Mr. Sie- mens, &c, During the dinner several telegrams were de- spatched to America and answers received. Mr. ©. W. FieLp, Chairman, proposed the “health of the Queen,” and next of the “President ofthe United States.” These toasts were enthu- slastically honored. Mr. Field next proposed, “Great Britain and the United States of America,” two countries destined to be united in friendship as closely as they are in kinship. In connection with this toast he would mention one whose name is a household word throughout the- whole world, “the Right Hon. William E, Gladstone.” (Cheers.) PREMIER GLADSTONE'S SPEECH. Mr. GLADSTONE said :— MR. FIELD AND GENTLEMEN—I don’t know, sir, whether you have been fortunate in this choice of the individual whom you have honored by request- ing him to respond to this toast; but 1 feel quite certain that you have been fortunate in the occa- sion on which it is given. It is given on a day when in full consonance with the Christian renee. of your country you render thanks to the Giver of all good for the bounty which He has poured out, and it is given on @ day when there is gathered around this hos- pitabie table board a body of gentlemen united with yourself in a great work which constitutes at Once one of the most signal triumphs of modern science and of the few guarantees for the peace and amity of the world. (Cheers.) 1 therefore feel sure that this is an occasion ominenity suited for the expression of the senti- ments which you have embodied In the words of the toast, “Great Britain and the United States of TELEGRAM TO America, two countries destined to be united in friendship as closely as er are in’ kinship.” I hope, sir, that is the case, and I firmly believe that your toast speaks no more than the truth. Iam afraid, Mr. Field, it often happens that when special friendship be- tween two countries is boasted of it does not so much mean the.appreciation they entertain of one another as an bare ered towards somebody else, The meetings of the representatives of countries are not unfrequently considered to be the token of something that is formidable to their neighbors; but if there be, as I think there is, & special relation of friendship between Eng- land and America, it isa friendship which implies nothing imperious and nothing dispar.ging to any other country in the world, (Cheers) It is not founded on any views of aggression that we entertain; in common it is hardly conceivable that there ever should be any object which was desired only by England and America, unless it -were an object beneficial to every other country in the world, it 1s a specialty of friendship, foundea upon the close relationship of our race, pene united language, upon sympathy, at least, if not identity of institutions; on love of freedom and rational order—self-governnients which alike distinguishes these two great coun- tries—(cheers)—and if we found the speciality of our own friendship ,upon considerations such as these, we found it upon a bssis which we desire not to be peculiar to our- selves, but which we shall be giad to see occupied in common with ourselves by every other people on the face of the globe. (Cheers.) It is quite true, sir, that the relations of England and Amer- ica have been marked by features which are, I believe, without a parallel in history. It is not often that history has given’ us an example of a colony like the United States— a colony or @ combination of compuntes so vigor- ous, so full of promise and of por 80 diferent from any of those colonies that have been founded by other European countries, When the day of separation came it came attended by circumstances of pain and exasperation, but it now affords hap- iness for both sides of the water When we can look back to it without either pain or exas- peration; and on your part lam quite sure you are ready to feel and to make allowance for a gallant people, who believed, though erroneous, that they were struggling for national life, and that upon the unity of the — depended the happiness of their country. We, on our part, are now able to see that with motives honorable we were in error; that we were struggiing against nature; Lok gling, Imay venture to say, even against Prov! dence, and Americans themselves do not more honor the day of their emancipation and their in- dependence than we Englishmen, who give them the full tribute of our sympathy, and who would not, if we could, undo or reverse the course of things. (Cheers.) Mr. FigeLp—The relations of the two countries, close as they had been and severed as they were by 80 severe a process, were distinguished in another most important particular from every other case of the Kind that has ever been known in the his- | tory of the world. We were severed politically trom one another, but the severance was not what, | to use a homely expression, may be termed a clean | severance. It was not, for example, as in the case of the two countries of the Peninsular, which, when they were severed from their colony and posses- sions in South America, had no longer any special relations or any special controversies subsisting between them. After the independence of the United States was established Great Britain continued to ve an American Power. From that circumstance and from many other circumstances it has happened that, while on the one hand there never has been @ mother and daughter countr; that had such strong reasons for jendshi and ailection, neither has there ever Heen @ mother and a daughter country which in time of independence were men- aced with so many possible subjects of contro. versy and of Loreal difference and discord, and consequently there has been all along this singular contrast in the feelings of the people of the twocoun- tries toward one another, that, while we have been Wwerfully attracted by all those causes to which have referred, while we have felt how the seal of brotherhood has been stamped upon us vy the hand of the Almighty himself, and that the noble motive that tended to pro- mote a true union of feeling was further quickened by the vast and extraordinary commu- nity of interestybetween us; yet, on the other hand, at almost every point of the wide circumference there were questions of controversy which from time to time divided us, and which it was a work of time and ditiiculty to settle, Until thi ent day it would hardly have been ; ble to point to the moment at whic’ x has not been some one or other subject of corre- spondence and even of dispute remaining unsettled between England and the United States, But, Mr. Field, there is this happy difference to he obsery Thave said that we have had the most powerful | impulses to union and concord, I have said we hay many occasions of difference and of controversy the occasions of difference and of controversy wer in their nature temporary and pable of bein: settled by intelligent good sense and fricndiy per. The time of that settlement has now pily, arrived, when we can speak of it not as a thing to be hoped, not a thing to be desired, but as a thing which has happily been accom. lished. (Loud cheers.) Those temporaiy Ritterenices have passed away; the motives to union remain. They are not like other controver- | sies, marked with a fugitive and transitory charac. | ter. Every one of them is profoundly rooted in the | circumstances of the two countries and in the character of the people by which they are in- habited, so that although there has been in otner ‘times a strong and unconquerable sentimen: tending toward frateroul uni that sentiment has heretofore been tia conquered by opposite and contending Now it can move with a full and equal tow, with nothing to interrupt it and nothing to fx the | term ofthe duration of the feeling which we rejoice | to know to exist. (Cheers.) And now, sir, these may be said to be generailties, and with the permission which I dare not ask from you, but which | am quite sure I may assume mysel, have received from the company, and will endeavor to give them a particular ie es (Cheers.) The | union of the two countries means after all the | union of the men by whom they are inhabited, and | among the men by whom they are in- habited there are some whose happy | lot it has been to contribute more than others to | the accomplishment of what I will venture to call | that sacred work, and who is there, gentlemen, of | them all that has been more marked either by | energetic nature or by happy success in that great Kt than your Chairman, who has | gatnered Ms round his Load ll bond? | Cheers.)

The gentle- men who surrounded him were a telegraphic family, and when all this work was accomplished he prayed God they might meet together and rejoice they had done something to bind the different nations of the world together, and he trusted that then taoy would be permitted to gather up the crambs that might fall from the table of their rich commer- oe friends in all parts of the world, (Loud cheers. ‘The Chairman next proposed “Tho Treaty of Washington.” About eighteen months ago, he said, there was signed in the city of Wasbington a treaty which he ventured to say would be here- aivc? looked back upon aa the greatest triumph of diplomacy {2 this country.

Anderson and Captain Sherard Osborne spoke next: ‘The health of the electricians was drank and Messrs. Farloy and Stemens responded. ‘The Chairman, as a concluding speech, said:—As We are about now to break up, will you join with me in drinking a long, happy, and prosperous life to the Right Hon, W. EK. Gladstone. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GLapstong said :—Mr, Field, although I have not yet reached the extreme term allotted by ‘inspired authority to human ex- istence, yet I have already had the enjoy- ment, or, at all -events, use of a life that may be called a longone. At any rate you will not think it a short one when I teil you that I hope within a few days to commence the tortieth year since I entered Parliament, and the greater art of those for'y years have been spent in periods of considerable activity, if without much profit to my fellow creatures, I have arrived at & Ume when a desire for rest begins to overpower every other sentiment, and as you have kindly wished me a happy and prosverous life I may, perhaps, in my own mind, be disposed to construe those words in ® peculiar manner.

Wasurvaron, Nov. 28, 1872, The Menacing Attitude of Germany Toward France—Baron Schlozer on the Emigration Restrictions. Despatches received mn this city from Paris go to confirm the menacing attitude assumed by Ger- many toward France. They represent that it was the policy of Prince Bismarck to create the belief in Germany as well as abroad that the condition of France was such as to necessita‘e the maintenance of a powerful military organization by the German government, Bismarck is said to be fos- tering sedulously the apprehension that Franee Would provoke another war in order to repu- diate her engagements and recover Alsace and Lorraine. Bismarck wanted this pretext to keep up the army on a war footing and in order to curry favor with the military party, which is all-powerful in Prussia. This policy ofthe Imperial Chancellor is given as an explanation for the desperate efforts of the German government to check emigration by all the means in its power, by raising railroad and steamboat rates and laying other obstacles in the way of the exodus of the peasantry. An additional incentive for the actton of Prince Bismarck is found in the consideration that it must be an unfavorable reflection on the government of King William that Germans should be so anxious to leave Germany. Baron Schiozer, the German Minister, was inter- Togated to-day regarding the step his government has taken to check the tide of emigration from Germany. The Baron was reticent on the subject. He did, however, concede thus -much:—That | Prince Bismarck had instructed the railways and steamships. of Prussia to raise their rates of transportation for emigrants, or rather to re-establish the old rates, which had been reduced at a time when the population of Germany was excessively large, and the government anxious to get rid of the surplus. “But now,” says Baron Schlozer, “the situation is changed; the two great wars, the war with Aus- tria and the war with France, have been a terrible drain on the population, and the government of King William had therefore deemed it necessary for its self-protection to stem the exodus which would deprive it ofso many strong arms that could grasp the musket in times of extremity.” Confirmation of the Report of the Trouble Between’ France and Gere | many—Excitement in Diplomatic Cire | cles. The report of the trouble between the French and German governments is fully confirmed here in despatches received to-night. The diptomats are very much excited, and await with anxiety the result of the dificulty. The President will with- hold any expression concerning the relations of France and Germany until the last moment. Gravity of Our Relations with Mexico— Report of the Border Commission—A Casus Belli Clearly Established. The officials of the Mexican Legation here are full of anxiety concerning the future attitude of this country towards Mexico, and are active in their efforts to inspire our oMicials with confidence in the rectitude and power of the government of Seilor Lerdo de Tejada and to develop a concilia- tory policy en the part of the Presiaent and Con- gress in what they apprehend is an approaching full discussion of the relations of the two countries, The immediate cause of disquietude is the forth- coming report of the commission whose appoint- ment was ordered by Congress at its last session to inquire into and report the facts connected with the long-continued and constant depredations carried on from within the jurisdiction and territory of Mexico upon our people resident along the Rio Grande frontier. The repeated and lengthy inter- views of the Commissioners with the President, the professed ignorance of the officials of the State Departinent concerning the contents of the report or the result of the conferences at the Executive Mansion, the extreme reserve of the Commis- sloners, who refuse to discuss or reveal their facts or recommendations, while intimating that their report is strong, conclusive and ‘ mo- mentous, and the fragmentary paragraphs concerning the report that have appeared in the journals, are treated at the Legation as in- dicating a situation of real gravity. The utmost use has been made of the opportune presence of Mr. Nelson, our Minister to Mexico, in Washing- ton, it being known tothe Mexicans that he is on excellent terms with the new government, as well as friendly to the memory of the preceding ad- ministration. Through his eforts it is thought at the Legation that a favorable \mpression has been made upon Mr. Fish, in consequence of which the present report of the Border Commis- sion will be laid aside aiter publication and the Commissioners sent back, with en- larged powers and means, to go over their work again, and, if it can possibly be effected, in co-operation with the Commission appointed by the Mexican government. The Mexicans would be better pleased if a new Commission altogether were appointed, professing to belleve that the | present Commission was “organized to convict; but they fear to have a suggestion of change come from their side, and there ig no liklihood that our | government will make any change, except to re- place one member, who does not desire to return to the frontier, on account of other engagements. It is known to the Mexican Legation that the Com- missioners admit their report to be partly founded on testimony taken ex parte, as | they had no authority to go to the Mexican side or | to receive counter evidence from implicated Mexi- can oficials or citizens. This admission is used as TON. | an argument why the present report should only | ‘ 5 Penvek 5 @ procure eee heforn.* the Commiaaion of attempting | the aasm ssination of Captain King, # targe Texas ranchero, x" Othee witnesses, while on their way to Brownsyh,'* + testify, Lt is shown that General Palacios, hig Sond in command, com- municated diren'¥ to President Juaren the facts of Cortina's ebavior full six muntue before the President re.'i¢ved him trom command, and that he was only relieved when the outcry from the United States pecime alarming, and even then was retained in his ank of brigadier general and left onthe Rio Grande With every op- portunity of continuing bis deyredations, In tie case the Commission advise that a dewand be made from the Mexican government jor his trial by court martial or other investigation of tu conduct, on testimony to be* furnisied in part by (lis government, as the least reparation his mfamous career.

It will be presented to the Secretary of ihe Navy to-morrow :— UNITED STATED. Cramer SORT} WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 1472, Sm—I have the honor to report that last nigh bemg clear a fine display of meteors was obverved by Professor Eastman and Mr. Horrigan, watehman of the observatory. In the early evening, Professor Eastman being occupied in other duties, Mr. Horr! gan observed 485 meteors between 6h. 16m. and 8 P. M., from 8h, to 9h, P, M. Professor Kastman-ob- served part of the time, and 131 were seen; after ih. P. M. 100 more were seen, and at 10 P.M, the lay seemed to cease. The maximunus t appears to have been between the hours ot 6h. 16m. and 6h. and 80m., reaching an hourly rate of 102 in 15 minutes and of 400 in 8 minutes. Mr. Horrigan saw 10 before he commenced the above recor fee J the whole number observed 120. ‘They appeared to radiate, by Professor Kastman’e observation, from a space which might be enclosed by a circle of eight degrees in diameter, having its centre at Mu-Andromeda, Protessor Harness also observed, but differs a little as to the. point of radiance, placing it about half way between Mu and Gamma Andromeda, As there was but @ single observer in the early evening, whose attention was confined to one portion of the heavens, there were probably four and a half times as many fell a3 were observed, According to Pro- fessor Harness’ observations the most of the mete- ors were about of the fourth magnitude, Thecotor to the naked eye was Ppa A faint blac, but some of the larger wore reddish. The tracks were generally very short, not exceeding from four degrees to six degrees. The average time of fight was from one to two-terths of @ second, Professor Eastman succeeded tm catching the spectra of two smal! oncs. The first had a taint continuous spectrum with an excess ot yellow or greenish yellow; the second had a laén& green spectrum, the frst glimpse of which sap- peared perfectiy white. They were both very faint and moved rapidly, ‘Thisdispiay is a very remark. able one and exceeds that ordinarily seen on the 1dth and 15th of November, ‘The radiant pomt seems to Indicate that they are moving in tie orbit of Biela’s comet, Very respectiully, &e., 7 B.

Their report describes at length the localities which are the seenes of the sorties and depreda- tions, the characteristics of the population on both | sides of the river, the methods of horse@@nd cattle raising and the means adopted by the Mexican raiders to strip the breeders of their property. Much statistical matter is embraced in the report, to show that the extent of the losses is not over-estimated, and that po'withstanding the natural increase there has been a great falling off in the herds, which is not accounted for by the dyoves sent eastward to market. The fact is awelt upon that while Texas is full of cattle Mexico is comparatively bare and is yet an ex- porter of bides to the United States. A great deal of the report consists of circumstantial accounts of specific outrages and depredations, in which the names, dates, localities and incidents con- nected with each affair are given in fui and the The arraignment of General Juah Cortina, the Military Commander of the Ri¢, Grande line, appears to be conclusive in fasteniny; upon him instigation, | direct personal and officiag, aid in the actual oat. | LIFE | the Puth Ave names of the witnesses who establish the facts, | CORPEABLE MOLIDAT A.=Herring’s P: CULAMPION 252 Broad 1 Branch Ofiice, Braoklyn, > Fulton avenue aud Hoeraus amet, ypens froin BA.
