' Alderman Robert Tyler, the new Lord ' Mayor of London, was inducted Into office on the 9th with thejusual formalities, Including the customary parade witnessed by tens ef thousand of people. It was notrwell iecelved by the working men, who hissed as the procession passed. At thej banquet In the evening Bad Spencer, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied to the toast of the Navy, saying in effect that Government Is determined to develop it and maintain England's supremacy on the ocean. The toast to the Ministry wai responded to by Lord Kimberley, Lord President of the Conncll and secretary for India. He said that foreign relations were friendly at present, bnt Government could not contemplate the armdents of the continent without anxiety. He oongratnlated Ms hearers on the finally established friendship pt Great Britain and America. There is a dark, side to the Indian picture, the Earl said. With regard to silver, he wag convinced that bat for the measure taken by the Government the exchange would have fallen to a shilling. The measures we're necessary. He also alluded to thedistiriot diminution in crime in Ireland since the Government entered office. Mr .Bayard, United States Ambassador, proposed the toast to the late mayor and made a short speech.
