ST. GEORGE'S DAY.

London, April 23. At the Lord Mayor's banquet to-day, in honor of St. George's Day, upwards of 300 persons were present, including Cardinal Vaughan, Lord Jersey, Bishop Selwyn, Bishop Camidge (Bathurst), Bishop Webber (Brisbane), Bishop Barry (formerly of Sydney), Mr S. Buxton (Parliamentary Secretary to the Colonial Office), the Agents-General for the various colonies, and a number of leading colonists. Sir George Grey, Sir Henry Loch, and the Marquis of Ripon sent messages regretting that they were unable to attend. The Lord Mayor, in proposing the toast of " The Empire," hoped that the banquet in honor of St. George, England's patron saint, would be perpetual, with a view to promoting the unity, loyalty, and patriotism of the empire. Lord Knutsford lauded the happy idea of the Lord Mayor in celebrating the anniversary of the saint's birthday. The Conservatives, he declared, were not afraid of necessary extension of the colonies, and were ;>lways ready to accept responsibility. He eulogised the work of the Agents-General, and hoped that the colonies would never send gontlemen of a lower standard, otherwise the closer union desired by every statesman might be delayed.
