THERE will be but one opinion amongst English-,1 men in every quarter of the globe as to the pro priety of erecting • fitting Memorial to comme morate the great services of Lord CLYDE. If ever I • soldier was entitled to the sincere and generous homage of his countrymen, the deliverer of our Eastern Empire, at • moment when deliverance . seemed almost impossible, is preeminently entitled to that honour. The character and achievements of Lord CLYDE, his military virtues and signal ler vices, alike demand to be held in grateful and lasting remembrance by all chases of his country men. Other great generals have no doubt dis- I played more brilliant qualities and gained more I distinguished victories than he ever did. But in his rare combination of high military qualities— his patience, fortitude, and sagacity—his coolness, judgment, and promptitude—his readiness to meet, if necessary, the gravest responsibilities, and the steadiness and fertility of resource he uni• formly displayed in the execution of every duty entrusted to him, as well as in the emcees that attended all his greatest enterprises, he has I had few equals and perhaps no superiors. Great as he was, however, the peculiar secret of his 1 greatness, the distinguishing feature of his long esseer, appeals to the widest sympathies, and touches • kindred feeling in the very humblest of his fellow-countrymen. Everything Lord CLYDE : gained he owed entirely to his own efforts, miss rioted by wealthy patrons or powerful friends. He worked his way by sheer industry and genius from the lowest rank in the army to • peerage and • tomb in Westminster Abbey. His distinctions were slowly extorted from indifferent or un friendly superiors by the mere force of obstinate and persevering merit. Before he was twenty five be had seen an amount of active service, and gained distinction in the field, that would have made not only the reputation but the fortune of an officer more fortunately connected. But not withstanding his bravery in the Peninsular war, and the glory he gained in leading a storming party at the memorable assault of San Sebastian, he was still, at the end of forty-five years' service, obscure and comparatively unknown. In the long interval he had served in almost every part of the world—in America, in the West Indies, in China, and in India—wherever, in fact, bard blows were to be struck and bard work was to be done. But not a murmur or complaint ever es caped him, nor did he relax for • moment in his unfaltering devotion to every de tail of duty connected with his profession; When war once more broke out, and the occa sion for active service at length arrived, it found him prepared, and ready for the gravest duties at a moment's notice. The opportunity he bad patiently waited for so long came in a national crisis of unexampled magnitude, and the great soldier had his reward. His career and triumphs thus embody and reflect the Fgher British genius of devotion to work—of the love of duty for its own sake. These noble qualities are not peculiar to any class of Englishmen, but are widely dif fused amongst every rank, and equally excite the respect and admiration of all. Apais therefore, from his splendid achievements, the character and career of Lord CLYDE conspicuously illustrate the very virtues which Englishmen at large instinc tively reverence and love to honour. A public Memorial to such a man is, as Lord ELLEN BOROUGH justly said, not only an act of justice to him, but an enormous benefit to ourselves. The life and actions of a great soldier who has served his country with such pure and unfaltering devo tion are a national heritage which iW are inte rested in preserving, and handing down through appropriate memorials to succeeding generations. Any failure in this respect would be an incalcu lable loss to ourselves. Nothing is so persuasive with the young and the gifted as example, and the career of Lord CLYDE is an example and a stimulus of the most inspiring kind. A public Memorial to him will thus be in the highest and truest sense a permanent national service. The Monument ought to be on a scale some what proportioned to the hero's merits and the national appreciation of them, sod if so it will be in every respect a noble one. The meeting at Willis's Rooms yesterday worthily inaugurated the national movement, and was specially interesting in several respects. It brought out, to an extent which may possibly surprise some, the strong feel ings of affection and respect cherished towards Lord CLYDE by his friends, as well as the unbounded admiration of his many noble qualities which all who knew him, however slightly, appear to have felt. Now, Lord CLYDE was certainly not in any degree a demonstrative man ; nor was it very likely, from his reserved temperament, that he would form many friendships. But he must have bad beaeath that rugged exterior genial qualities as well as sterling ones ; and those who were brought into personal relation with him were in the end, almost insensibly perhaps, but still profoundly, impressed with both. There was no lack of heartiness, enthusiasm, or thorough acquaintance with the main subject amongst the different speakers at the meeting. Indeed, the various addresses almost exhausted every available in cident in the hero's long career. But no THE }XPRFSS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER juster or more splendid tribute to Lord etVor's Indian services was ever paid than that contained in Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S terse and eloquent eulo glum. The noble lord's speech has, however, a practical value, and may be accepted as a guarantee that munificent contributions to the national Monu ment will be sent from India. There is no reason to doubt that they will be equally large and liberal here. Lord CLYDE'S titled friends, official acquaintances, and distinguished mili tary comrades have, as was fitting, taken the initiative in the matter. But the public will not be slow to follow in a movement which, if it is to have any real value, significancy, and success, must be in the truest and largest sense a national one. Lord CLYDE was one of the people, sprung from the humble ranks of social life—in a word, a successful working man. After toiling with un wearied fidelity for half a century, he at length gained a position in which he was able to save an Empire. Such a man the whole nation will gladly and gratefully unite to honour. bt Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 13.

The following is the text of the letter addressed by the Emperor of Russia to the Grand Duke Constantine, a brief telegraphic summary of which appeared in the Express of Thursday evening last : "Rescript of his Majesty the Emperor to his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine Niaolaiewitch. "Imperial Highness,—ln summoning your impe rial highness last year to govern the kingdom of Poland as my lieutenant, I wished to testify my firm desire to give progressive development to the new institutions which I had granted to the kingdom. The very choice of a beloved brother was a pledge of my sincere desire to advance in the way of pacification in order to the restitution of order, and to introduce a favourable state of things in harmony with the wants and interests of the country. "Completely appreciating my friendly intention towards the Polish people, sympathising with it to the bottom of your heart, and animated by a lofty thought of conciliation, your imperial high ness, with noble self-denial, sacrificed the position you occupied in the empire in order to redouble your zeal for the good of the service and of the country in the new career which my unbounded confidence had opened to you. "I had the right to expect from my subjects of the kingdom of Poland, that they would appreciate my intentions as well as your eagerness to execute them ; that, carried away by force and for the moment against the government, they would understand the significance of your &anvil in the kingdom ; that they would see in it a pledge of my solicitude for the welfare of Poland, an evidence of my readiness to pardon the erring, and that they would return to the sentiment of duty and of devo tion towards their sovereign. " To my extreme affliction, these hopes have not been realised. " Received on the threshold by treason and by an attempt on your life, which is so precious to me, your imperial highness sealed your devotion to my person and to Russia with your blood. Despite all your efforts, the institutions given by me for the kingom of Poland have not worked, up to the present, in a way corresponding to their object; they encounter permanent ob stacles proceeding not from a want of good will or of exertion on the part of the government, but from the country itself, submitting to the action of criminal intrigues and the pernicious influence of instigators abroad. " Tourarrival in Poland should have inaugurated a new era of jamas( proopet:ty and develop ment, under the indispensable auspices of confidence and of respect for the laws. With a firm and indefatigable will, without sparing your health, your imperial highness strove to realise my benefimut views regarding the kingdom. Con forming your acts to the object of your nomination ; having always in view the interest of Russia, and of the country which was confided to you, facing, constantly, personal perils, you did not relax your incessant efforts even when an open insurrection suddenly opposed the regular action cf the law. But a constantly growing rebellion, intrigues more and more traitorous and criminal, have convinced your imperief highness of the incompatibility ex isting between the actual state of the country and the thought of benevolence and of alleviation which induced me to charge you to put in execution the institutions so generously granted to my Polish kingdom. The Polish people has not wished to comprehend and appreciate the significance of the nomination of your imperial highness to the post of my lieutenant. In revolting in contempt of all its oaths, in surrendering itself to criminal plots, it has shown itself unworthy of the pledge which I bad given to it of my benevolent intentions in the person of my beloved brother. "Recogn;sing the justice of your appreciations respecting the impossibility, in the actual circum station, of following the way by which I sought to secure the pacification of the country when I sent you to it last year, I consent to relieve you, in ac cordance with your wish, of the functions of my lieutenant and of commander-in-chief in the kingdom of Poland. But when, with the aid of God, the revolt shall be subdued, and, reu dared accessible to the voice of duty and of legality, my subjects of the kingdom shall free themselves from the violence ex ercised by the declared abettors of treason, and shall have recourse to my clemency ; when the re-establi►hment of order shall permit the re sumption of the work which yonoommenced ; when circumstances shall render possible the application of institutions, the practical working of which is one of my strongest and sincerest desires ; it pleases me to think that then you will be able again to take part iu the execution of my views and consecrate yourself to the welfare of the country with the zeal and abnegation of which the incessant and incontestible evidences are as precious to my heart as my confi dence, my friendship, and my fraternal affection towards you are unlimited. " I pray God that the repose solicited by your imperial highness, and indispensable to your health after the constant and trying experiences which in the midst of the greatest difficulties have so pro foundly affected your heart, ardently devoted to the country—will re-establish your strength as quickly as possible. May God succour you. I confide myself with unshaken firmness to Hie infinite mercy. "Done at Livadia, Oot. 13, 1863." Upon the original document the Emperor had written with his own hand " Your grateful and sincerely affectionate bro ther, " ALEXANDER." (111:171111 . 8 ruizoaueo THE EIIROPEAN CONGRESS.

PARIS, FRIOAY_ Ecnmto. Bullier's Correspondence announces that Prince Murat's private secretary, M. Rufferini, has re signed his poet "on account of his love for Italian unity." What does this mean ? M. Rufferini, like all the rest of the world, must have known all along that Prince Murat was an enemy of Italian unity, because he is a pretender to the throne of Naples. The national inference, there fore, is that something new and unexpected must have occurred to stimulate M. Rufferini's conscience up to resignation point. Can it be that the im perial speech is this new event 1 Can it be that the Muratist party, hitherto only connived at, have now received assurances of effectual support from the Tuileries 1 I should not be at all surprised at it. If a new map of Europe is to be drawn up under the Emperoi's supervision, it isten to one that he will hark back to his Villafranca scheme, the abortion of which he has never forgotten or forgiven. If Victor Emmanuel really believes Napoleon 111. to be a friend to the unity of Italy, coming events are likely to undeceive him. This resignation of Prince Murat's secretary for the reason alleged is, sup posing the news to be true, a most significant event. The "yellow book," containing diplomatic cor respondence, will not be distributed on Monday, as bad been announced, and it is even said that the printing of it is suspended. The impres sion now is that it will be kept back till the an swers of the sovereigns to the Emperor's letter are received, and that it will be retouched according to circumstances. M. Brisson, the editor of the Phase de la Loire, lately sent a challenge to M. Emile 011ivier, in consequence of his speech in the Corps Le gislatif on the question of "incompatibili ties," as far as regarded railway directors. K Brisson, who was the first to start the objection which was afterwards supported with much ability by K Floquet of the Temps, felt that M. 011ivier's repudiation of " cavilling, equivocal, and blameable " opposition tactics reflected upon him. KE. 011ivier, however, has explained that be meant no personal allusion, and the affair will happily go no further. The Opinion Nationale says of M. Thiers that "in this short discussion he displayed all those qualities of a dialectician at once subtle and im passioned which people remember of old ; he belongs to that race of statesmen who are the honour of Great Britain, and who at the end of half a century of public life are strangers to fatigue or discouragement." The Bourse was to-d►y weaker, Bente falling 100. and Sc., but Mobilier remains at yesterday's quotations. The Daily News and the Lsdeperulanee Beige are seized. Here is the way in which the French police works public opinion, and thinks it is doing something very clever. In the first instance the semi-official press stated mendaciously that all the press of Europe was thrown into °Mimics at the proposal of a congress, and dazzled by the mag nificent, wise, simple, frank, modest, and con ciliatory language of the Emperor. Then they keep back the delivery of the English journals generally, and, after close inspection, definitively seize such of them as contain articles too manifestly clashing with the false representations made. Of coarse these manoeuvres only enable them to deceive a few very simple people for a very few hours ; and now that the whole truth comes out, and it is impossible to conceal the fact that the congress is universally re- I guided man impracticable and insidious proposition, the France complains that the English journals have repented of their " unanimous cry of ad miration" of the first day, have completely turned their backs upon themselves, and, guided by narrow and ignoble considerations of self-interest, declare the congress "impossible." The whole fallacy of this argument lies in the fact that the "unanimous cry of admiration" was from the beginning a French invention. THE DEBATES IN THE CORPS LEGIBLATIF. SPEECH OF IL TRIERS. (nom oul OWN CORRISTONDINT.) PARIS, THURSDAY Evuniga. In the Corps Legislatif yesterday, there was a rather animated debate upon some electing not seriously contented, which suffices to show, notwithstanding the studied moderation both of the government and the oppo sition dories the first two or three days of the 'maim, that there is • storm brewing. The Marquis d'Andelarre, although • government member, objected with great warmth that H. Bertrand, the mayor of Caen, was not duly elected, because the ballot box had not been sealed as the law requires, and had not, moreover, as the law also re. quires, been deposited during the night in a room with sealed doom. He also complained that H. Faucher de Cared, the opposition ciandidate,waa refund the necessary authorisation to print his election address, and that the election room was so filled with partisans of the mayor, that electors could not put their own bulletins into the box, but were faced to pass them from hand to band through • crowd of the mayors agents. To these charges M. Bertrand, the mayor of Can, who defended his own election in person, answered th►t the ballot-box was the same that had always been used for elections at Caen, and that although not sealed, it was secured by four locks of such enormous strength, that they might have been forged by Vulcan. (Laughter.) As to the refusal to print the opposition candidate's address, it was made by the printer, who mistakenly alleged that the prefect would not allow it, end moreover, H. Foncher de Cared went to the printer's on a Sunday. A printed paper which the prefect would not allow to be hawked in the streets was *a electioneering !squib written by an agent and not entitled to the privileges which the law accords to candidates only. The fact of the bulletins being passed from hand to band to the ballot-box he stoutly denied. M. GLAIR BIZOIN, one of the new opposition members, maid that iu this scretiey the chamber ought to have two objects in view : flint, the validity of the election kern*. distal) , in discussion ; and, secondly, to take are that the abuses which had occurred should be so exposed as to serve as a lesson to the country and the administration with the view that they might not occur again. He read a letter from the sub-prefect of Falange to all the shopkeeper, of his arrondissement, recommending them to vote for the government candidate, in terms which evidently conveyed a threat. Being interrupted by ironical cheers from the majority, M. Wail Bizoin said, "This is no laughing matter, gentlemen, it is humiliating." M. Bertrand wee then declared duly elected, without • division. VibCOUnt LINJUINAIS (tbe opposition member for Nantes) complained that although there had been no protest mated hi election, the bureau to which it wee refined bad kept him waiting for three days, and refused to make a report upon the pretext that a protest was expected. ROUREI (Minister of State) wished to my that the Minister of the Interior had only that day received a pro. test spinet M. Lanjuinais' return, and that the protest must by this time have reached the chamber. A conversation coned, in the course of which M. Rather admitted, and the Duke de Moray (who was in the chair) strongly baited that the bureaus ought to make their re ports without delay, sad not hold them over to wait for protests to come. It seemed to be generally speed that there was a cants oniants in the law as to the time within which a protest against an eleetios ought to be made. 71m report of the barman in M. Laojuimis' case not being ready it necesserily stood over, but with an nadentandlog that no further evidence against the return was to be received. 14, 1863. M. Julia Sileo3l (opposition member) uked for the ad *inmost of tie ease cd M. Noubel, molest whom there wu & very serious protest by M. Bus, which was to have been supported by M. Marie, who was unfortunately &besot from Mose% M. Base had 35 documents which be brought forward u proofs in favour of big protest, and they would be la the buds of members on the morrow. N. PUMA= (reporter)—lt is true there are 33 documents ; the bureau has examined them all carefully, and it was of opinion—without feeling it necessary to hear the testimony of either Y. Base or M. Noubel—that there wu nothing in them. M. Tnuatm—l wish to makes simple observation. Why did the bateau, making an exception to the general ride, re. fuse to hear M. Bate and M. Nonbel? Allowance ought to be made for the difference between the situation of those who being in the chamber can offer explanation', and those outside who cannot. M. Base did not ask to be heard by the bureau ; he only maid he was ready to be heard if called upon. The bureau thought itself sufficiently informed about the cues without calling for his evidence, that is all. M. Tllllllll—No other election presents so grave a fact as that which we have here—a suspension of the 00111110 of justice. (Clamours.) NoringL—l am ready to answer. (The Presideat baring put the question of adjournment, which was nep• tired), M. TAuae resumed--I am not prepared to discuss the whole report on this election. I merely point out one rev/ serious fact, which is treated in the report with an indul genoe unworthy of the dignity of this chamber. (Cries of " No, no.") The ease is this. M. Bass's placards were torn down by order of the mayor in the commune of Saint Front, and that was • violation of the law. IL Bane thereupon obtained an order from the President of the Tribunal that the mayor should appear before him to show canoe why he should not be compelled to post M. Base's bills. But M. Bane could get no hi:dallier to sieve the process upon the mayor, because the Procureer-Lnperial had ordered all the huissiers not to act for M. BIM until June 2, which was the day after the election. Well! you , would have the law respected in th e country, and yet you ' treat with indifference • fact like this, which is no- thing less than the suspension of the coons of law in France. (Noise.) The Procureur-General and the Minister of Julioe have both censured the illegal eat —(applause on some benches); and now the report treats it as jast nothing at all. (More interruption.) The bureau would sot bear M. Bare. That fact is certain. (A Voice :It hen been explained). I will mums that the bureau thought itself sufficiently enlightened, but I mast observe that it is the ()lily bureau which ben refused to bear explanations. I repeat that lem not prepared to go into the case fully. M. Marie, who would have dame no, is absent from indisposition ; but I call the attention of the chamber to this serious interference with justice, and I thus free my own reeponsibgity. M. Puisaan—The reporters said that the judge's order only appointed • hearing for June 5, and therefore IL Bare was in DO way prejudiced by the service of the order on the mayor being suspended till June 2. M. ROW= (Minister of State) admitted that the sat of the Procureur Imperial was not legally justifiable, and said that he bad been reprimanded for it. But it could have bad so effect upon the result of the election, since IL Nonbel's majority was very large. The fact was, that legal process frightened country people very much, End the Procureur Imperial thought, bond fide, that U. Blies writ might operate as an intimidation while the :Aeolian was going on. M. Tuixas—l don't cure about the influence of the act up= the election. That is not the question. I have obtained an ad minion from thegovernment of all th at I wanted, Darnell, that the course of justice was suspended by the set of the Pre cursor du Res. (Loud laughter.) I beg pardon, I should have said the Procureur Imperial—l shall soon get into right habits. (More laughter.) You speak of Intimidation. But if you say the oppo.ition exercises intimidation in the elections, France will not believe you. (Interruption.) After some further excuses for the Procureur Imperial's conduct by M. Rouher, M. Noubal was declared duly elected. THE PERSECUTION OF LADIES IN WARSAW. -An incident which marred la 'Warsaw on the lad instant is a fair example of the treatment to which the ladies of this city are subjected by the Russian authorities. A house. owner was going home in the evening with his wife. He was provided with a lantern, 'according to the regulation, but his wife was not, as women accompanied by men are not required to carry lanterns. As they were passing through a street where the pavement is so narrow that two persons nay can walk on it abreast, they met a friend who walked on with them, and as be had business with the husband, the wife walked on before. Seeing this a policeman in the street arrested the lady because she bad no lantern. All explanation was neatens, and the lady and her husband were immediately dragged to thornily& police station, where the commissary, Rydzywaki, ordered fire lashes to be given to her. On hearing this sentence the lady remonstrated, re. pri seating that she was enciente, and that if the order was executed it might prcduce serious consequences. The only answer Rydzywaki deigned to give was to increase the number of lashes to ten. Fresh remonstrances from the husband added five lashes to the punishment of the nefor. tuna= lady, and the sentence was carried out to the letter.

A public meeting waa held yesterday, on the in vitation of the Clyde Testimonial Fund Committee, to de cide upon the most appropriate mode of raising a testi monial to the honour of the late Field-Marshal Lord Clyde, and to take steps for providing the funds for the WM. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAKBRIDGE was in the chair, and upon the platform were the Earl De Grey and Ripon (Secretary fur War), the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of atalmerbary, the Earl of Ellen borough, Sir Charles Wood (Secretary for India), the Earl of Lucian, the Earl of Cardigan, Lord Stanley, Sir R. Mut.- adman. Sir R. Hamilton, Sir R. Airey, and numerous other gentlemen officially or otherwise connected with the mili tary and civil services of the country. The body of the room was crowded. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was loudly applauded when be entered the mom, having taken the chair, pro ceeded to review the career of the late Field Marshal. In 1854 (laid Ida royal highness) the war with &Nei& broke out, sod one of the first officers selected to go out in commend of a regiment was Sir Colin Campbell. It is not mammy for me to dwell upon the great talents he dis played while engaged on that important service. Whether we look at the noble bearing of his splendid brigade at the storming of the heights of Alma, or the valuable service he rendered when he, with • handful of men, descended upon the coast of Balakiava sod so kept open the communication of the army with the fleet, or the merits of that great sol. dier throughout the whole of the Crimean campaign, we Bed that in every case he not only performed his duty with that valour and devotedness with which I know every British soldier always will perform it—(hear, bear)—but that he displayed on all occasions the talents and acquirements */ • great commander, and that whenever he was placed at the had of affairs, these affairs were satisfactorily and nobly conducted. (Hear, hear.) It was not long after this when Lord Clyde again had the opportunity of proving that what was expected of him would be sure to be accomplished, for hardly had the great Crimean war been brought to a close ere the troubles In India broke oat. It was greatly feared there would be • tedious and difficult process neceseuy in restoring ceder and tranquillity in that noble portion of or empire. The government had to select • general officer to whom to entrust the command of the forces dest'oed to un dertake the duty of putting down the mutiny, and I am heppy to say that I, being then in the post which I still have the honour to fill, associated with my right hm friends then =Vag for her Majesty at the War Doped men% rtsumeriended to her Majesty that the late Lord Clyde should be sent oat to take the chief command. For myself I sewer doubted fora moment that he would unhesitatingly accept the important and delicate appointment, but I did Dot expect him to say sa he did say when the propmal was first made to him, that he would be ready to start for hula within .14 hours. (Loud cheers.) Within 24 hours after the appointment wan offered to him he left this country for India, and then completed the glorious and important ser vice entrusted to him in the manner which reflected hooour upon himself and advantage to his country. It is not too much to say, that, thinks to the intelligence and determination he evince doing the whole of his command, and the gallantry he was enabled to inspire in the troops acting under his orders, our great Indian empire has not only been restored to us in all it. integrity, but I trust and believe with a greater degree of &MONS and attachment to this cons. try than existed at any time before the mutiny broke out. (Cheers.) I my then that we are all deeply indebted to the late gallant commander, but I should do an injustice I know to him if I did not add, what he WAS always the first to acknowledge, that he could not have accomplished what he did had it not been for the cordial and zealous einistaoce he received from every pernon with whom he was impeded in India, whether the civil authorities of that dependency or the military assistants who served immediately under his direetioes. (Heer, bear.) Lord Clyde was always oes of those modest men who ascribe the credit of all their successes to those by whose aid those success, have been achieved and therefore he wee constantly ready to admit that, but for the admirable manner in which he baboon supported, he could not have dope what he did. I am, however, dispo.ed to think that in this he somewhat underrated his powers, for 1 believe it was greatly and chiefly to him that those results are to be catributra, although no doubt be was associated with most able and gallant supporters. But even in this is shown his great capacity for command, seeing that he had the talent to choose those who were his mat competeut and useful cm ijutors. (Cheers.) And this is another proof that that mind that was equal to deal with and master details was equally able to grasp and mature those greater questions and remairenients with which in his later days he was so prominently connected. My late salient friend having departed from this world it is • glorious thing for this great empire to reflect that there is not one, even the lowest amongst h;% coentrynies, that may not a9ire to the sooomplishutent of equally great resales, and to the attainment of an r pally high position. In • country that is, io many respects, thought to be old fashioned, it is useful to reflect that such opportenities for distinction may fall to any one individual who I. properly quali fi ed in this great state. And It is in this manner that the state has always a right to expect to be well served. There is another lemon to be learnt from the example of my late gallant friend, and it is an important one ; it is that officers in our profession should not imagine the mere war service is their metier, and that that alone is what they have to look to. It is true we shall cm all occa sions pei Toren our duties with honour to ourselves and credit to the countty, but there are matters of detail we should deal with. Although it is sot the wish, nor would it teed t 3 the honour of the country, that we should be always en gaged in constant hutilitits, still it is necessary to keep the army in such • state of proficiency and order that It shall be fit to take the field when called upon. It is officers like the late Lord Clyde that make efficiency in this respect, fork is to officers who attend to their duties as well in peace as io war that the army is indebted for its efficiency and power when called upon to act. I am happy to say that such is the ebanteter of the officers of oar army gene rally, and I trust that the example of Lord Cly de will be the means of adding to their number, and that they see that the best way of acquiring e ffi ciency and of doing ser vice to the state is by establishing discipline, and securing order and regularity amongst their men in time of peace. That was the course adopted by the late Lord Clyde, and that was the way in which he was able at the end of his career to obtain such high honours for himself and to confer such valuable service upon his country, sod thus it was that at the close of his life his sovereign was the first to express her strong desire and earnest hope that we should do honour to Its memory in the way now proposed. (Hear.) I feel that I have trespassed longer upon your attention than I should have done—(No. no)—but it was impossible for me to be fleet on • subject on which publicly and privately I felt so deep an lowest, and with which from my position Tam so im mediatelyconeected. And though I know that the resolutions about to be submitted will be put before you far more f rrcibly by those who are to follow me than they could be by any words of mine, I thought it only right that I should do hooour thus publicly to the name of that illustrious soldier and friend whose loss, in ommuon with you all, I so deeply deplore. (Cheers.) The Earl DE GRET and RIPON moved the first resolution, which affirm( d that in order to commemorate the services of Lord Clyde, the meeting was of opinion that a 'tithe to his memory should be erected In this metropolis. The Duke of WELLINGTON awooded the resolution, which was put and carried with acclamation. The Duke of A RGTLL moved the second resolution—" That • publle subscription he °pealed, to which all classes of her Majesty's subjects be invited to contribute, and that • com mittee of noblemen and gentlemen be formed for the put , pews of PSTI yin out the foregoing objects" The Earl of LeCAN seconded the resolution—which, after • few words from Sir JOHN MAXWELL (suggesting that the monument should be erected by parliamentary grant) —was carried Inanimately. Sir CHARLES WOOD moved the following resolution : " That, with reference to the more recent service. of Lord Clyde in India, the communities of the three presidencies be invited tOOO-operate." The Earl of Eus-aftortouc le, who was received with several rounds of anplause, seconded the resolution General Sir WM. Gomm, as an old comrade in slims, bore testimony to the merits of Lord Clyde. The resolution was then put and carried.

Mr. The, M.P., snored " that steps be taken to enable the board to purchase by parliamentary authority certain pieceeof land io couoection with the public roads in Lambeth near to and abutting on the Westminster-road and Warminster -bridge, Rod that the solicitor end officers be instructed ti take the necessary Mops to obtain such powers." In support of this motion he said that when t he hoard was last year before parliament on the bill for the formation of the Southern Eintankinent, it was found that two pieces marked black on theplan had not been scheduled, and it was hoped that the board would this year set that right. There was a proposition on the part of St. Thomas's Hospital to take lead near this place, but hie application bad no geferenee to it, bat simply to improve the pro perty that was already in possession of the hoard. Mr. Le Breton *wooded the motion, which after a discussion, in which Mr. Co' Ihnozi. Mr. Goalies, M.P., Mr. R. L. Taylor, Mr. Dormer, Mr. Sandhurst, Mr. Freeman, and others took part, was altered to merely giving notices and depositing plans, sad agreed to with but one dissentient.
