About seventy sat down to dinner, among whom were his Excellency the Governor, the Private Secretary, the Colonial Secretary, the Surveyor-General, Captain Roe, and many of the leading inhabitants of Perth and Fremantle.

The chair was taken by Captain Roe.

On his right was his Excellency the Governor, and on his left the guest of the evening--Mr.Forrest.

The vice-chair was filled by Mr.Landor.After the cloth had been removed, the chairman, Captain Roe, rose and proposed the Queen, a lady whom the people could not consider without being proud of the sovereign by whom they were governed.
The Chairman said he rose to propose another toast, which, he trusted, was not always given as a matter of course, but with heartfelt satisfaction.

It was the health of the Heir Apparent to the Throne.
(Cheers).
