' Mr. Sheiicld made a strong plea in iavor of having & committee appointed to sum- mon witnesses and take testimony under oath.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS. THE STATE CONVENTION ‘TC-DAY—TILDEN DEVELOPS UNEXPECTED STRENGTH—HEN- DRICKS’ MEN TALKING OF BOLTING. Sr. Louis, May 30, 1876, Despatches from Jefferson City announce that the Democratic State Copvention which assembles in that city to-morrow will be the largest ever beld in the State, so that the feeling onthe Presidential question is intensoly exciting. A few weeks ago nearly every democratic paper in Missouri advocated Hendgicks.

The Hendricks delegates are greatly alarmed at the unexpected strength displayed by Tilden in the Convention, and a bolt ts predicted by gome, It seems quite certain that a bolt will occur if decided effor re made to instruct for Tilden, If Tilden captures 1! - egation, which event seems now extremely probable, their policy will be to avoid a bolt by not demanaing fnsiractions.

COMMODORE VANDERBILT. Mr. Vanderbilt's condition was greatly improved yesterday morning, and his physicians found him even stronger than he had been fdr several days previous. So rapid was this improvement during the day that when Dr. Jared Lindsey leit his patient at ten o’clock last night be stated that Commodore Vanderbilt was very comfortable, and gave it as his opinion that he would recover. Mr. Vanderbilt could move from one side of the bed to the other, and at one time had a good hearty laugh over the avnouncement that the people iu Wall street are speculating on the question whether he would hveor not.

A LORD MAYOR’S WELCOME. Dazzling Scenes at the Ancient Seat of | Corporate Festivities. Who Were There—How They Were Dressed, THE SPEECHES. aoe Loxpox, May 20, 1876 Famous for cénturies for the magnificence of its Fetes and banquets, the Guildhall of the city of London, the palace of tho Lord Mayors, was last night the geene of a pageant to which the pages of the civic records, glowing, as they do, with pride, pomp and circumstance of Aldermanic and regai merry-makings, cannot afford a parailel Since the time when Sir John Shaw, goldsmith, who had won the spurs of knighthood onthe battlefield of Bosworth, gave here, in the year 1600, the frst Lord Meyor’s feast GOG AND MAGOG, the two tutelary deities of London city, whose gigantic effigies adorn the walls of the Guildhall, have never looked down upon a more brilliant scene than was enacted below them last evening, for nothing within sheir recollection could surpass in lavish splendor the hospitable welcome given by Lord Mayor Cotton to the Heir Apparent upon his return to his native land. Tbe Danquet and ball of yesterday formed a fitting finale toa ROYAL PROGRESS, which cannot be paralleled in the annals of the Eng- lish crown. Indeed, the Prince of Wales must be so fated with the incessant panoramas of Oriental and European magnificence, which have passed before his eyes during the tast six months, that he no doubt wel- comes while he appreciates the splendid spectacle of Jast night asa happy termination. It may, bowever, ftafely be said that nowhere during the course of travels has he met with heartier hospitality than was dispensed by the ‘Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Commons” of the city of London. Not even the generous loyalty of Dick Whittington, who fed the Civic fire with the promissory notes of royalty, could outdo the hospitality of Lord Mayor Cotton, In com- mand of unlimited means end actuated by exuberant fealty, nothing that money could do was left undone, ‘THE CITY OF LOXDOX does not do things by halves, Visitors who may havo penetrated into the civic heart of London will remember that im front of the Guildhall is an open square, the feeding ground of many flocks of pigeons. For the present occasion (ihe pigeons being ousied) the whole of this space was built over, the temporary structure connecting on one side with the Bankruptcy Court (into which, let us trust, none ot tho élite of society may ever find their way except, as now, for the purpose of exercising the light fantastic toe.) Asan entrance to this tempo- rary structure there was erected a massive castellated. tower, looking at which 1 was almost impossible to imagine that it would very shortly disappear and leave notawrack behind. After passing through this edi- fico tho Guildhall proper was reached. Nothing, of course, that could be added to this magnificent room could enhance its unadorned architectural beauty. The groups of statuary had been polished up for the occasion, and at one end the immense bufet glowed with a marvellous exhibition of the best speci- mens of the plate of the great companies, the intrinsic valuo.of the display exceeding £150,000. In the hall ‘was spread the banquet, the decorations of the tables Boing almost ontirely floral. At the cross table, laden ‘with the choicest fruits and reserved for the host and Dis Mustrious guests, a shining sea of crystal, with ‘banke of magnificent flowers, formed the principal decorations, THE GUILDHALL LIBRARY, “another “inagnificent ‘apartment, remained, lke the neighboring banqueting hall, without special ornament, At oneerd was raised a dais and two chairs of state for the use of the Prince and Princess during the cero- mony, inseparable, according to the English custom, trom such an occasion, of presenting the address and receiving the reply, the address, of course, finding ite way to the royal fingors.in an intermediate covering of golcsmiths’ work of the,choicest character, known asa “casket.’” THE LINE OF ROUTE. The line of rouse was along embankment and by the new Victoria Street, the whole distance being lined by the masses of people who never fail to turn out to gaze upon the fleeting cavalcade and retinue of shining cuirasses, dancing plumes and silk-stockinged, gold- brocaded footmen, which hedge royalty in its state passago through the streets. The crowd displayed tho usual features—workingmen were in great force, and the Thames there was no. end of babies in arms. Tho negro minstrsl was the dispenser of amuso- ment pending the arrival of tho royal cor- tége, and good humored horse play whiled away the timo, Nothing short of carriages, with hammer cloths and heraldic panels would satisfy the crowd; and the occamonal hansoms or quiet broughams which ran the gauntlet drew forth unlimited irony. The dccora- tions of the route were not remarkable, save, perhaps, for the effusive mottoes here and there displayed, “Welcome Home” being the favorite. Tho army of pediers who use such occasions for turning an honest penny drove a roaring trade in ‘Commemoration Medals,” portraits of the “Rilo Family, pins, wheron His ‘‘Rile 'Ighness” trom a turret on an elephapt’s back slew the ferocious tiger, ‘THR PROCESSION of State carriages was greeted as it passed with a feu de Joie of cheers, but, as the carriages were all closed, the crowd could obtain only a momentary glimpse of the Prince and his lovely wife. ‘Amidst the clanging of the church bells and the roar of the immense malti- tude which biackened the approaches, the guest ar. rived atthe entrance, and were received with aloud and joyous fanfaro of silver trumpets, The HOST AND mosTESS summoned by the civic functionaries, all !n the antiquo dresses, which, massed together, formed a grand mass of color, welcomed their illustrious guests with deop obeisance. A procession was then formed, headed by the civic household, the Lord Mayor marching in front of the royal party; following the Prince and Princes o¢ Wales came tho Dukes of Edinburgh ahd Connaught, the wuke of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Teck, the Grand Dachoss of Mecklenburg-Strotitz, Count Gleichen and Prince Louis of Battenberg. Im- posing and stately, the procession swept into the library and up to the a: a burst of applause break. ing from the assembly as the Prince and Princess took thoir seats, PRESENTING THE ADDRESS, The ceremony of presenting the address was then gone through, and occupied but 4 few minutes, Tho Town Clerk, having exhoried silence, read tho tesolu. tion of the Court of Common Council for presenting the address, ‘THE ADDRESS itself was read by the Recorder, thus:— To His Rovat Hicuxnss Avwnat Evwanp Paice oF Warns, K.

Ibis “Tho Health of His Royal Highness t! Prince of Wales and the Prince of Wales.’ (Loud and continued cheers.) On the 1th of October last His Royal Highness leh the shores of England in’ the good ship. ‘Serapis for his Indian journey, and 1 can assure him that tho prayers ofall England’ went with him for his sate re- turn, His Royal Highness hae passed most trrumph- antly throughout the great and important journey. He bas visited nearly every spot in India, and one and all have welcomed him in the way which his gemality, bis bonhomie, and all that appertains to his gener- ous nature fully entitles him to, The Prince ot Wales, in replying to the address of tho Corporation, thanked Almighty God for his preservation during the progress of his curious and in- teresting journey. . Tne journey cannct fail to be pro- ductive of good results, and it will be a great thing in the future when His Royal Highness ascends to the throne of these realms, a period which | bope may be very distant. As regards the Prinsess, irom the day on which Her Royal Highness landed in England up to the present moment we have always looked upon her as one of the most loving of human beings, HIS ROYAL MIGHNESS’ srExcn. Rising to respond, tho Princo was greoted with sev- eral rounds of applause and then amidst profound silence, broken only by occasional ‘‘ choers,'? dehvered the following reply :— My Lorp Mayor, Your Roya, Hicuxessss, Mr Lorps, Laviss axp GExTLEMEX—I am deeply touched by the kind mannerin which the Lord Mayor has pro- posed this toast and at the exceedingly cordial way in which tnis large and distinguished assembly has been pleased to receive it. 1 have every reason to feel deeply flattered also at the kind manner in which the Lord Mayor has alluded to my late long and inte Beh poarpey, in India, I need hardly assure him, as Ido all here present, that that journey is one which for, a long time I had contemplated, and it is one which I have perforined with the greatest pleasure and inter 5 and upon which I shall always look back with the great- est possible gratification, My stay in that vast Empire was, unfortunately, too short for me to gather us much valuable information as 1 could have desired and hked; but, at the same time, although 1 spent but four months in India, I thiak I travelled about 10,000 miles during that time, and | certainly visited the most in- teresting and the most remarkable spots in that coun- try. Although, as I said before, my sojourn wi if brief durat on, 1 think that I shall feel, day by day, that I bave acquired much valuable information, which I could not have obtained if 1 had not visited the country. From the moment when | landed at Bombay, on the 8th of November Ull the 13th of March, when 1 left, 1 was received by all classes of the community, nigh and low, ‘with the Kindest and most hospitable feelings, 1 can- not sufficiently express my gratitude to the native chiefs and the native population for the way in which they received me. i would have been but matural if they. being of a different nationality and a different re- ligion from our own, had recetved mo in a rm manner. But although it is not the Eastern nawre to exhibit that enthusiasm which is customary in our northern climes, still I was receivea with @ kindness which was unmistakable, and which has left a lasting testa upon me, and 18 a sure sign and proof that tho Indian Empire is not disloyal to the Queen of England. (Loud cheers.) Of such great intercst is that country that to all who are fond of travel—and | have no doubt there are many here this evening who are—there is mothing | can recommend more strongly than a visit to India. (‘Hear,” “bear,” and laughter.) Mon of all professions would be —gratifi by a vis- M—the artist, the naturalist, the rapher, the historian, tho antiquary, and iast, not least, the sportsman. (Laughter.) The more Engiish pco- ple travel in India, the more geauine knowiedge they will find they can gain, beyond anything they can ob- tain from books on the subject by many long years of study. The theme of India is a large one. It is not my intention this evening to trouble you with a long speech on the subject, for it would be out of place on this occasion, and do pot think i would be mght to weary you But | am glad to have this opportunity’ of mentioning twat | had on many occasions the advantage of seeing a great deal of our army and nav Mucho has been said as to the want of efficiency in ti ser- vices, or rather croakers have spoken of their want of efliciency—(cheers and laughter)—but as far as my ex- Petience goes, trom what | have seen, and trom the remarks and observations of others, I tnink we may be quite satisfied in this country that the troops which re in India and the ships which guard our ores in every respect in a very zh state of efficiency. The magnificent re- view which | ¢ opportunity of witnessing at the camp exercise at Delhi, where upward of 13,000 men were presout, was ono which lam not likely to forget, 1am quite sure that if those who are yer to-nigut only Lnew what the troops looked like they would envy me for having seen them. Tho native troops wero well worth inspecting. Toey are splendid men in every respect. All the English troops in garrison in every part of the Empire are in @ very high state of eliciency, amd looked as our soldiers eught to look. Wi.h regurd to the mavy, 1 had an op- portunity during my late travels of seeing four squad- rons-—the Indian squadri the flying squadron, the Mediterranean squadron aad the nel squadron. | do not think it will again soon come to my lot to see four great squadrons in the space of seven months again. I am not a naval man mysolf, and it 1 make remarks on this subject 1 may bo correctea by my brother on my left (laughter), but so far as one could judge with the 4 of a landsman, [ think we have, as the First Lord of the Admiralty has said, reason to bo proud of the ships which { have seen in all the different waters through which Ehave passed, I again thank the Lord Mayor for the excessively kind ber J in which he proposed the toast, and tue distinguished company for the kind maa- ner in which they have received the few words that 1 have spoken, { can assure all presont and all my countrymen that, potting aside the great interest connected with my journey to India, it was well worth while to travel 25,000 miles to come home to those near and dear to me, and bo received in 1) kind manper that J have beon, (Loud cheers.) Belore sitting down | must also thank the Lord Mayor for the complimentary way in which he proposed the health ‘of tho Vrincess. She is, I can assure you, deeply grateiul for the way in which she has always been re- ceived during the last thirteen years, and she takes the deepest interest in ything that concer: greatness and prosperity of her adopted cot (Cheers) y ‘THE BALL. The osher toasts having been rattled off, the Princo proceeded to onjoy his dessert and a fragrant post- prandial cigar, while the guests invited to the ball— 5,000 in number—were pouring into the improvised crush rooms.
