Among those present at the stone-laying was Mr. H. Rider Haggard, who said that. looking at our extraordinary contrasts of wealth and poverty, at the uncertainty of the future, amid all the new forces which were rising, he was tempted to say to himself: "Oh for the Nelson -toucli He wished it were possible for all to experi- ence that Nelson touch, that touch of decision, of devotion to duty and love of country; that touch which put the greatness of his nation before any self-interest.

OVER-BRIDGE TRAMS IN LONDON. I The Archbishop of Canterbury is in favour of the Over-Bridge Tramways Bill, which was recently thrown out by the Lords. Replying to a correspondent, the Primate's private secretary writes "Had the Archbishop been in the House of Lords on the evening when the subject was discussed he would unhesita- tingly have supported the Bill. If it comes again befofflpi the House of Lords, he fully hopes to be able, from his personal experience of South London and its needs, to advocate the suggested extension of tramways facilities."

SOUND UNDER THE SEA, I The official trial of the system of submarine signalling took place on the Trinity House yacht Irene at Dover, and was successful in every way. For a vessel of Shallow draught like the Irene three miles was fixed as the test limit, and at that distance the signals given by the bell were dis- tinctly heard, and the direction from which they came could be indicated readily. Even at greater distances the bell could be dis- tinctly heard. On large vessels from which the transmitter can be placed 18ft. or 20ft. below the water line, the signals have been heard over eight miles.

A lady cyclist, from London, recently decided to spend the week-end at i» picturesque and secluded country spot in Surrey. It was a pretty little rustic inn at which she put up, and at the tea-table she discoursed glowingly to the buxom, landlady on the delight that real country butter and real new-laid eggs gave to a jaded Londoner. Her faith in country produce was destined, however, to be rudely shaken, for, on coming down to breakfast next morning, she was greatly shocked to overhear the good landlady say to her spouse "The lady from Lunnon's mighty keen on fresh eggs, John. Run and get half-iardozen from the grocer's, while I go out in the yard and cackle."

I THE .FRENCH FLEET. J I DEPARTURE FROM PORTSMOUTH. ] Amid the thunder of gun salutes, the strains of the French and British National Anthems, and echoing cheers from shore and ship, the French Fleet, its flags fluttering in the sunshine, on Mon- day took its departure from Portsmouth. At a very early hour in the morning the French warships began to leave the harbour. They went out singly, and, early though it was, a great many people had gathered on the beach to wish the de- parting guests God-speed. The watching crowd steadily collected, and by ten o'clock there was a great concourse to see the last of the fleet lying in the sparkling sunshine at Spithead. Just after noon the saluting guns boomed out. and amidst the thunderous roar of salutes and the waving of flags the French Fleet faded away into the haze of the horizon, carrying with it the good. will of the entire British nation. I BANQUET IN WESTMINSTER HALII. I SPEECH BY MR. BALFOUR. Amid scenes of regal splendour the officers of the French fleet were on Saturday banqueted within the grey, historic walls of Westminster Hall. The day's gathering, which came as the crowning honour of the French officers' visit to London, is expected to exercise far-reaching and beneficent effects. "It is a harbinger of peace," said the Prime Minister in his speech at the luncheon, "of peace in the East, of peace in the West, and of peace all the world over." Westminster Hall, which for the first time in history rang with the strains of the "Marseil- laise," is thus restored to one of its primary uses as a state banqueting chamber. I THE ARRIVAL. The guests came in a long stream of carriages from Victoria Station. There were mighty cheers from the dense banlis of spectators who lined the route to Westminster. The. band crashed forth its welcoming strains. "Vive la France!" "L'Entente Cordiale "What fine fellows could be heard as the tide of cheering ebbed. Admiral Caillard, a middle-aged officer, with blue eyes and beard of reddish-grey, followed by his men, slowly ascended the stairs to the, Robing Gallery, the broad corridors aglow with colour and excitement. An. unbroken avenue of English legislators stretched from end to end of the Royal Gallery, I whose cathedral windows and glorious paintings and crimson benches and tossell-ated flooring gave a tout ensemble of stately grandeur to the ¡ picture. I STRIKING SCENES. I In the dim perspective stood the Lord Chan- cellor in the majesty of his full-bottomed wig and gold-embroidered robes, the Speaker, a towering figure of tranquil dignity, beside him. In fours the Frenchmen slowly marched through the long lane of English members-, a splash of blue and gold in a. border of black. The walls of the Royal Gallery are taken up with two magnificent paintings, "The Death of Nelson" and "Wellington at Waterloo." "What a pity we haven't covered them over," said an Englishman as he recalled their bitter memories to once unhappy and defeated France. The gallant Frenchmen passed them kindly by. Through the resounding corridors the proces- sion swept, to Westminster Hall, the thrilling music of the Marseillaise" bursting fourth as the Frenchmen stepped down the red-carpeted stair,s> to the tables. Two long with ten shorter ones run- ning from side to side, stretched down the hall. Hundreds of vases of beautiful flowers adorned them. Englishmen wore sprays of lilies of the valley -a delicate compliment to beautiful France. There were a few toasts. The Lord' Chan- oellor gave" The King." He spoke in French, and although there were one or two moments of hesitation, he got tlirough without his notes. The Frenchmen rapturously clapped their hands. The speech which roused the great assembly to enthusiasm! was "Mr. Speaker's." It was full of 'happy phrasing. His clear, resonant voice was heard everywhere. Mr. Lowther is an excellent French scholar, but he spoke in English. He proposed "The President of the French Republic," "our nearest neighbour, fore- most in literature and art, and one of the greatest pioneers of European civilisation." I "WITH ONE VOICE." I All eyes turned towards the Prime Minister as he rose to propose "The French Navy." "This is one of those occasions," he said, "when the nation speaks with but one voice," and the heartiest elieers that greeted this state- ment ca-me from eminent Liberals. "I regard the present gathering as the har- binger of peace, of peace in the East, of .peace in the West, and of peace all the world over; and I aim confident that no greater security for the greatest of all human -good! can be found than in the warm and perpetual friendship of two great neighbours." A gracenil speech from Admiral Caillard, a felicitous sentence from Admiral Peuch, and a. somewhat exhaustive, scholarly oration from Mr. John Morley, and the great banquet was over. I ON THE TERRACE. I In a wide, stream the guests swept through the lobbies to the terrace for coffee and tea- Frenchmen, fraternised with English com- rad-es. Ministers of State and the French Ambassador engaged in lively conversation. The Speaker moved albout the throng in Court dress, and talked French to the sailors. I I ADMIRAL'S CAILLARD'S MESSAGE. I The Daily Mirror has published the follow- j ing message from Admiral Caillard :— j In the name of the French nation and the whole French fle,et, I thank the English people for the reception given us. May we ever be united in the bonds of sincere friendship inspired by a high esteem."
