The Guildhall Banquet.
EARL GRANVILLE’S SPEECH. [Reuter’s Telegrams.] London, November 10. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone was not present at the Guildhall banquet last evening. Earl Granville, who was among the guests of the evening, made a lengthy speech, in the course of which he expressed a hope that Lord Wolsley, besides rescuing General Gordon, would leave a stable Government in the Soudan. The Foreign Secretary also stated that the Cabinet had not yet examined Lord Northbrook’s report on the state of affairs in Egypt. He also said that both the French and Chinese Governments were aware of England’s readiness to mediate between them for the settlement of the Tonquin difficulty, and the strained relations which had arisen from the Langson affair. Referring to the Franchise Bill, Earl Granville declared that if the Conservatives formulated a definite scheme for the redistribution of seats the Government would be prepared to modify theirs accordingly.
