THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany; a melodrama replete with startly positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro • duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen • who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the , Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating • from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is ' sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed, Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and - What he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 645: This young man, who is a Seotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be brought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London Lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Ho inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of au established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, ho considers it t.. he time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel. in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their Bianco with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things. a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edifi ca ti on of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it th e subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. ing, the programme being continually changed. Grand fashionable Day Performance, or.

Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its existence, in discovering odd things in odd places, and in bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely place for to be found. Act 4. Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble. In which will be comprised—the Adventures of a Wed ding Ring, the Peregrinations of a Bank Note, the Transfor mation—black into white, and the Discovery of every Article in the position which would seem the most inappropriate.

Ho speaks of crises which have be come more and mere violent, and of inflammation which is snaking Timid 'progress. He is writing to his wife— " Dearest friend," he says, " we must not dwell on ob stacles, exoept to conquer them. The path of duty is char to each. Glory and honour shall lead the way, the .annon will do the rest. But I must tell you that to all my physical sufferings now are added the deepest anxieties. All I ask is time to accomplish my mission. Then the inflammation may spread, and all will end. I love you with all the strength of my soul, and in that love I find renewed strength." (Cheers.) Talk of jea lousies, of petty feelings, mark how the two generals speak of each other. Marsal St. Arnaud, bears testi mony to Lord Raglan's greatness—" Lord Raglan is loyalty itself. The more he is known the more he must be appreciated. And, on the other band, when death had laid his cold finger on the Marshal, Lord Raglan, General Canrob er t— w hat can be grander th an th a t d in e a n t no l language, w e a iton victory .

STAMPED fl D. strong, the just against the unjust, I trust that our. i will be found by their side. (Great cheering.) This 'i,, i tot the first time when the armies of England arid France here been united in war. (Hear.) They fought side by side under Richard Coeur de Lion and Philip Augustus ; they were united against the inroads of the Saracen's as they have been against the aggression of the Muscovite. By a strange and most striking coincidence the events of the two wars are nearly parallel ; Ascalon was the prototype of the Alma, and Acre of Sebastopol. • After a doge of two yeare, by the united arms of Erie land and France, the fortress was at last taken:, e' .' impetuous assault of the French eoldierr /es q .T . o - ur Maudite—the Malakhoff of Acre---e. .rich j h ( a ) : lone re pelled their arms. But though ‘...ais Was the case, 'his tory, more just than our contemporaries, has assigned at least an equal r' contemporaries, in the glorious crusade to the English adder Richard as to the French under Philip Augustus. (C-acre.) It is natural that after so many tri umPhg the people of this country should regret that in ' , bi - . last assault their arms were not equally successful with the French. Our brave defenders have themselves to blame for this feeling, for they have so accustomed their countrymen to victory that they cannot tolerate even passing repulse. Bur never was a feeling more un just : never was one more sure to pass away. I will male no apologies for the failure at the Redan ; I accept it as one of the most glorious passages in our military history, and so you may rest assured will yourchildren and children's children feel on this subject. (Cheers.) It was impossible to hold it even when carried, for being entirely open in the rear it was commanded by other en trenchments equally strong as the one in front. Nothing but'a force as large as the garrison of Sebastopol could hold it against the reserves sure to be brought up. Why, then, was it assaulted when lasting success was imp:ri sible ? Because the desperate undertaking was indispen sable to draw off a part of the enemy's force when the decisive assault was made by the French on the Male khoff. (Cheers.) Our 'troops, officers, and soldiers knew this when they leapt out of the trenches, but with heroic devotion they not the less bravely carried and long held the Redan in 'order to enable their ancient rivals to maintain their footing in the Malakhoff, which was otherwise impossible. (Cheers.) Whatever we may think, rely upon it this will not be deemed the least honourable page in British history. Leonidas did the same at Thermopylae—it was an army leaping like Cure this into the gulf to save its country. (Loud cheer ing.) And the event has proved at what a cost the glorious sacrifice was made, and shows how the Eng lish officers led on their men, for while in the assault on the Redan there were 153 officers killed and wounded to 2,500 men, in the French on the Malakhoff there were only 260 officers killed and wounded to 11,300 men ; and on the Russian side only 360 officers to 7,400 private soldiers. Rely upon it, this disinterested -elf-devotion will not be forgotten in history, any more than the heroic valour of the 3,500 soldiers has been who fell in the vain attempt to force the breaches of Badajoa, but thereby rendered the castle an easy conquest to Pic ton's men, who got in by escalade. And let us not de tract from the merit of our gallant allies, by saying their victory was owing ,to a surprise. In every desperate siege, as in every well-debated field, the last result is partly owing to chance. Napoleon .himself has told us so. But it is genius which brings matters to that point when chance becomes decisive. It was no chance which manned the trenches for ten long and weary months with undaunted warriors ; it was no chance which planted 800 guns in battery around the devoted fortress ; it was no chance which drove the Russians into their covert in the Alalakhoff when the assault was delivered ; it was the genius of Pelissier which rendered chance it self the instrument of his will. In these glorious triumphs our own countrymen have borne their full share. (Cheers.) It was the Highland regiments which with the Guards first planted the British standard on the heights of Alma ; they shared in the terrible service of the trenches during the last and 'post arduous months of its endurance, and after the repulse at the Redan, and when the honour of England was pleded to carry it, it was the Highlaed regiments which were brought up for , the purpose of the assault on the * following morning. Our generals knew that "England's danger is not Scot laud's opportunity." There is no man in the camp who doubts that, had the Russians not abandoned the place during the night, the Redan would next morning have been carried by the Highland bayonets. If in the inter val they were not actively engaged, it was because, like the Tenth Legion of Ciesar and the Old Guard of Na poleon, they paid the penalty of their fame—they were placed in defence of the vital line of the armies' com munications, where defeat would have been ruin ; and well did they deserve the trust. When ordered up from Kamera to take part in the assault on the Bth of September, they marched 10 miles to the front, were 28 hours in the trenches under a constant fire of shot and shell, and marched back 10 miles more without halting, and only oae man fell cut in the whole brigade. And these are the men whom the Times tells us are composed of the scourings of Manchester and Liverpool. We would recommend them to go and do the same. The Times tells us there is difficulty experienced in recruit ing the Highland regiments, and possibly it is so ; and I will tell you the cause, which the Times has not dove. It has not told us that, from the effects of the commer cial policy which it has so strongly advocated, above 300,000 persons, almost all in the prime of life, have emigrated from the British islands annually for the last nine years. It has not told- us that during that period, till within these few months, the depots of all the High land regiments have been kept out of Scotland. Why have they been so removed? Because, being steady, well-conditioned troops, they could be trusted to put down civil brawls in the manufacturing districts of England and the south and west of Ireland. (Hear.) And thus, having driven the Ilighlandere from their native valleys by depriving them of bread, and rendered recruiting next to impossible by removing the depots of regiments from the country, they make it matter of reproach against the Highlanders that it is difficult to keep up their regiments ! (HearAear.) But let the Scotch be of good (dicer ; the census shows that there are as many Highlanders in Scotland as ever there were, though possibly they may be differently located. They may be found in the crowded city, not the lonely glen ; but they have lost nothing of their ancient spirit in their new abodes ; and let the national regiments but be kept up, the plumes and the tartan preserved, the depots of Highland regiments be kept in Scotland, and ! a few chieftains follow the example of our gracious Se_ vereign on their estates, and we shall see whether there will be any difficulty in filling up their ranks.

Captain 'WILKINSON acknowledged the toast on behalf of the Highland Division. He could assure the company that there was not a man of them who would not be grateful for the compliment. (Cheers.) In simply re turning thanks for the toast he begged to be allowed to propose " the health of Sir Colin Campbell, the head of the Highland Division." (Cheers.) Pledged with all the honours. Mr. Bailie COCHRANE, who was received with cheats, spoke as follows :—The toast which has been in trusted to me is one which I am most happy to hare the honour of proposing to your acceptance, not only because it is one which insures your hearty concurrence, but, moreover, it p ossesses an interest peculiarly grate ful tu myself, ae it ASOCiAteA me with ray native county, LON DON, MO DAY EVENING, uC 1 OBEli 15, 1855. fusion, and said—l rise merely to volunteer a word as a member of that assemblage which has been mentioned. I can only Fay of the House of Commons that it sympa thises with the noble and generous sentiments of the city of Glasgow, which has exceeded all other places and cities in its benefactions towards the patriotic fund. Here as a humble individual,. and proud of representing the greatest constituency in the world out of London, I say that the manifestation you have made to-night does honour to Scotland. (Manifestations of impatience.) lam not gifted with the powers of eloquence of those to whom my hon. friend has alluded, but I have the conscientious satisfac tion of an honest heart, and belong to a country having an ancient, honourable, and glorious history. Would to God that every town in the United Kingdom would imitate what Glasgow had done to-night. Would to God that every nobleman like the one of ancient royal race pre siding here would do the same as he has done to-night. I do say that the alliance between France and England is, on the part of the Emperor of the French, one of great sincerity. (Mr. M'Gregor attempted to proceed with his speech, but the increased impatience of the au dience prevailed, and he sat down.) The CHAIRMAN—I quite agree with the gentleman who has sat down about the beneficence of Glasgow. That is one reason for which I feel proud of my position here, namely, that in the locality i n w hi c h I res id e so noble a spirit should be manifested. The toast I have now to propose is "The Crimean Army, and welcome to the victorious heroes who have returned." The sub ject of the Crimean campaign is a wide one, and I shall not speak of it at length, because I should be speaking of what many here understand m i_s katte; than I. St,ll, , I cannot help sayingsa.few words wi i'Maassitosabargas.7 lant deeds performed by our countrymen at the scene of war. At the very commencement of the war I think the wonderful power of England was shown by the mag nitude of the transport service. So soon as our troops ;ended on the shores of the enemy was fought the battle of Alma. And who is not proud of being a Briton who thinks of the field of Alma ? (Cheers.) Who is not proud, I may add to many here, of being a Scotchman who thinks of that occasion ? (Renewed Cheers.) Then came the glorious fight of Inkerman, which long will live in history. And Balaklava, perhaps unequalled for chivalrous valour. Quintus Curtius, jumping into the gulf, was not a finer hero than every man, private or officer, who charged at Balaklava. (Cheers.) I have h4ard such a sentiment from several of them, and among others from one who won at the sword-point every dis tinction he wears, and who cried like a babe wh en b e talked of Balaklava. I cannot talk of the Crimean cam paign without alluding to our allies, to such names as St. Arnaud and Bosquet, among our French allies, and La Nlarinora among the Sardinians. Proudlyas the French and English may carry themselves, Sardinia is their worthy ally. (Cheers.) It is strange, certainly, and never, to be forgotten, that we have seen the army of France and England directed against a common foe for the first time in the memory of man. But while we congratulate ourselves, and thank Providence for our success, we must not forget the fallen foe who have gal lantly struggled against us, who have gone to rest, who have deserved well of their countrymen. Let us not forget also, in celebrating this glorious victory, that we raise ourselves in our own estimation by praising our foe. I wish that feeling bad been more carried out. I regret expre-sions which have been made use of in regard to the Russians, because, though none can be more gratified than I for victories vouchsafed, we ought to be generous to a fallen foe. (Applause.) We must not forget that the Russians have fought bravely, that they have fought band to hand with the best troops of Europe, and that this war has raised from its ranks one who has distin guished himself like General Todleben, and others high ' in position in the Russian service. It is a most gratify ing thing to me to preside on this occasion—grateful to ' and myself with such an assembly before me. With re gret, then, fcr those who have fallen in a good cause, I turn to those now around me, and beg to propose, "The Crimean Army, and welcome to the victorious heroes who have returned." (Cheers.) I beg to couple with the toast the name of Sir James Fergusson. Sir J. FERGIISSON, in rising to reply, was received with cheers. He said,—l hardly know how to use terms sufficient to express my gratitude to you for the honour you have done me in calling me up in this place to return thanks for the army, the praises of which you have so justly sounded, by drinking to them in a manner which will convey to the hearts of those gallant men who ere still in the field the sympathy which their country Feels for them. (Cheers.) It was not until to-night, when I came here, that I knew the task which was to fall to my share. I anticipated that a gallant general who has maintained the honour of our country would have been 'ere to do what I am about do do so inadequately, or hat some of the other gentlemen who are still in the atuks of the service would be deputed to the task. I ern no longer in the army, and feel that I stn unable to lo justice to the toast, yet I assure you, that there are lone who feel more deeply the motives which have die 'ated your expression of feeling this evening. (Cheers.) There are none who feel more the honour which belongs to them for having served in the ranks of the army, and there are none who will remember longer, and with feel ings of deeper gratitude, the manner in which the toast has been received. (Cheers.) Allow me to say that so rong as this is the way in which the humble soldier is to be received on his return home—if these are the feel ings by which the large body of one of the most influen tial towns in the country are actuated, we need not fear that the might of the country will be put forth to carry on a great and glorious war. When a humble soldier is thus received by his countrymen, it demonstrates that she heart of the country beats in unision, with the army in the field, and that even the lowest soldier in the ranks , s not forgotten. (Cheers.) I regret tbatei sin not better able to acknowledge the toast, but allow me in conclusion, to return thanks, most cordial and heart felt, for the great honour you have done am. (Cheers.) The Duke of MONTROSE then said—The toast which has last been given was especially devoted to the British army, and the enthusiastic manner in which you re received it was intended to do all the honour and confer all the praise which you could upon the bravery and the courage of our own victorious soldiers. But at the same time we must recollect that that army has been asso ciated with another, emulating it in its bravey and cou rage, and sharing with it all the hardships of the pro tracted struggle of the past year. Gentlemen, to them a awed of praise and honour is also due, and it would be impossible for me to paint in too vivid terms the truth and faithfulness which have characterised the conduct of our allies, or for you to do more than justice to the re ception of such a sentiment. If we turn to the pages of history, we shall see all through them the two great na tions of England and Franceacting with rivalry, constant through many ages, honourable to the feelings of both nations, but unfortunately mixed up too much with feelings of antagonism and animosity. It has remained for our days and our eyes to see that rivalry changed into an emulation only of friendship and good feeling-- to see those two nations associated in the same cause that of liberty and civilisation to Europe—engaged in the same glorious struggle, animated by the same views and sentiments, and the same staid determination to resist the encroachments of that grasping Power which has threatened not only the freedom but even the ex istence of Europe. But, gentlemen, in speaking of that army it is impossible that we should overlook —we ought not to overlook—that master mind which has given ani mation to it, which has directed the feelings of the nation of France into friendship towards us, and into that unexpected channel to which I have referred. The Emperor of the French has shown, throughout the pr o . areas of this war and the negotiations attendant upon it, the clearest perception of the course that ought to be pursued, and the steadiest determination to bring it to a successful termination. He has throughout been faithful to all his engagements with his allies. H e has not faltered when others were timid and inactive; lie has given strength to their counsels. He has shown that determination which I have no doubt will en able us to arrive at the successful termination to which we have looked. Upon this occasion we should be want ing in honour to ourselves did we not give utterance to those feelings and sentiments towards him. I may say it is a pleasing illustration of the state of things to which I have alluded that the speaker who will, I believe, respond to this toast should be a noble duke and a native of France connected with this country by ties of family, but one who in former times served in the great army of the late Emperor Napoleon. (Loud applause.) The Duke of Coigny shared in those trials and dangers, and bears noble testimony in his own wounds to his own courage. It its indeed pleasing that . he, after having been our enemy, is now come to witness I this alliance, and to state that he and his countrymen are firm and true friends of the British nation. I think, gentlemen, I have said enough Ito induce your cordial 7 reception of the toast which I have to propeee to the Emperor of the French and our bravo allies. But at the same time I cannot help referring to another nation which has lately also become one of our allies, and to which the noble duke in the chair has already referred. He has spoken of the gallant army which belongs to that nation, and its deeds of bravery done in former times, and I think one great cause of congratulation on onr part that that nation should have joined us is, not so much on account of the bravery of her army, but that she is one of the few countries of Europe which enjoys a free and liberal constitution. While the whole of Ger many has been governed by a wavering and vacillating policy, while Austria has been afraid to barely give utter ance to those feelings it is anxious for us to believe its Government is actuated by,—while Prussia has aided in • almost every respect the policy of Russia, Savoy alone has boldly supported the policy of western Europe, and has lent its army to join in sharing the triumphs of the associated armies of England and France. With three such nations joined together, we must look and trust that we shall never be induced to yield and embrace an ignominious and useless peace, one which will yield !to good for what welave fought, but leave us merely the degradation of failure, aid the spectacle of having insen sibly resisted the efforts of the nation with which we are at war. I trust you will do all honour to the toast I have to propose—" to tho Emperor o f the French and our brave allies." (Prolonged applause.) The DUKE DE COIGN; who was imperfectly heard, said,—l belong too much to my country not to feel ready to express my thanks for any honourable mention of her, and to wish for the prolongation of the life of an Emperor whom Providence has gianted no in ono of the • • 7tnest'critleal periods of history. " Let him then live for many, many long years, this other great Napoleon, who has, without any other help but the power of his name, relieved us from a period of revolutionary agi tation, and who, with the immense and powerful assistance of the great and mighty Queen Victoria, has saved the rest of Europe from the shame of sub jection to Cossack dominion.. (Cheers.) I have said enough, I hope, to persuade you that, whether qualified or not to return you thanks, I do it in the most warm and hearty manner. I beg the noble duke and this com pany to accept my cordial expression of gratitude, and, on behalf of my country, I must thank the noble duke most heartily for what he said about our happy alliance —that alliance which, I am proud to say, has been the constant dream of my life. Yes, gentlemen, I may boast that it has been a dream always present to me, even when I was fighting against you. (Cheers.) After every battle I could not help deploring that two great nations like yours and mine could not come to a good understanding. (Cheers.) I hoped, if it pleased God, that would not long be the case. Now that we are in possession of that formidable alliance, lot us hope that we shall remain friends for ever. If, after the present bloody war is finished, we are again called to the field, let us hope that it will be, as the noble viscount at the head of the Government said, in his beautiful speech at Romsey, not face to face, but side by side. (Continued cheering.) M. MAUBOUSEIN, the Consul of France, spoke in French. The following is a translation of his remarks : —I have the honour to thank your Grace for the toast which you have just proposed, and I thank you, gen tlemen, most sincerely for the enthusiastic manner with which you have received this testimony of respeot towards his Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign. If your cordial acclamations could at this moment be heard at St. Cloud, be assured tbat their Majesties, the Emperor and Empress, would sincerely appreciate them; and if these acclamations, too, could be carried to the Crimea, be persuaded that our brave soldiers would re ceive them with bounding hearts. For they love the Emperor well, who proves to them more effectively every day the truth of the French maxim, a just and strong military belief, that each conscript, on quitting his native village, has in his haversack the germ of an epaulette, and sometimes of a marshal's baton. With respect to the perfectly happy harmony which now exists between the two countries, further cemented as it has been by her Majesty the Queen having lately placed her foot on the soil of France, each of us can see with what high respect and gratulation and with what hearty ad miration the French nation has welcomed her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain. That this union may prove eternal is the prayer which every good subject of both countries ought to offer up. (Applause.) Sir A. ALISON, on rising, was greeted with loud cheers. He said—Little more than 11 months have elapsed since we were assembled in this city to commence that noble subscription which was to testify the sympathy of Britain with its defenders, and in which Glasgow bore so dis tinguished a part ; and the day on which we met has become immortal in British annals. (Hear.) By a sin gular coincidence, at the very time when we were en deavouring to celebrate, in inadequate strains, the he roism of our troops, the best blood of England was shed in a glorious conflict, and Inkerman took its place beside Marathon and Thermopylae in the annals of military glory. (Cheers.) Even then I rejoice to say the ancient prowess of Scotland stood conspicuous, for on that very morning the telegraph, in announcing the bloody fight at Balaklava, had told that in the wreck of the Ottoman troops the Highland Regiments had 'stood firm ; and in the glorious charge of the Heavy Brigade, which broke through the Muscovite horse, the Scots Greys had taken the lead. (Loud cheers.) Since that time what a mo mentous year has been passed—what alternations of hope and fear, of grief and exultation—what courage and perseverance on the ode hand—what steadiness and de votion on the part of our enemies ! I t has, indeed, been a mighty contest, and mighty beyond all example have been the means employed on both sides. 210,000 French soldiers, 80,000 English, and 15,000 Piedmontese, with 1,200 guns, have been sen t from the remotest parts of Wes tern Europe to the theatre of conflict on the shores of the Crimea, and they have been confronted by at least an equal number of Russians. (Hear.) The annals of the world will be sought in ♦ain for the waging of such .a war at such a distance and with such means. In comparison with it the army of Alexander, the legions of Rome, the hosts of the Crusaders, sink into insignificance. Pro portionally great have been the successes achieved in the terrible strife which ensued. Three victories in pitched battles in the field—an arduous and unparal leled siege of 10 months' duration, terminating in a de cisive triumph—the total destruction of a fleet of 18 sail of the line and 100 vessels of war—the capture of a first rate fortress, with 6,000 pieces of cannon—anti the bloody defeat of an army of 150,000 men signalised the campaign before the allied armies had been a year in the peninsula. (Cheers.) Neither the storms of autumn nor the snows of winter—neither the floods of December nor the heats of July—neither the sword of the enemy nor the poison of pestilence have been able to arrest that invincible host. (Loud cheers.) More than all, they faced during 10 long and dreary months the fearful service of the trenches —the most arduous that ever fell to the lot of soldiers to discharge. Theirs was none of " the pomp or cir cumstance of glorious war ;" theirs was not the rush of the assault, the clang of the charge, or the roar of the platoon ; nothing but the horrors and solitary discharge of unobtrusive duty. Theirs was the silent advance at midnight into the enemy's outposts, when the deadly rifle was pointed from behind every rock, and death met them at every turn ; theirs was the long weary night watches in the trenches, when the wintry sky was illu mined only by the flying projectiles, and if they closed their wearied eyelids for a few minutes a bomb burst by their side, and they were snatched from sleep to eternity. They suffered and perished in fearful multitudes, but they suffered and perished in silence ; others not less courageous succeeded as the first fell in the deadly strife in the trenches— " They were true to the last of their blood and their breath, And like reapers advanced to the harvest of Death," till the awful struggle was brought to a termination, and the allied standards implanted on the ramparts of Sebas topol. With truth did our troops in the trenches feel, when they beheld battery after battery blown into the air, tower after tower wrapt in flames, ship after ship sinking in the deep, that the hour, not of victory, but of conquest had come, and that in the flames around them they beheld the self-immolation of an empire. (Cheers.) Let it not be said that it is in a foreign or unnational cause that this noble blood has been shed. It was poured forth like water in the great and enduring con test which from the earliest time has divided mankind —the strife of Greece against P ers i a , of Rome ag ainst Scythia, of the Cross against the Crescent —the ever lasting struggle of European f r eedom against Asiatic despotism. Let it not be said we have changed sides in this conflict. We have changed allies, but not principles. We stood by Russia when she was the last refuge o f Europe against the ambition of the first Napoleon ; and we stand by France when she is the bulwark of Europe, under the third Napoleon, against Muscovite aggres sion. I see here a change of men, but not of objects ; and as long as there are inscribed on the banners of weh i s. Against the 'France the device of oucoour to the GRAND BANQUET AT GLASGOW On Friday night the grand banquet in. celebration of the Crimean victories came off in the City Hall, and was attended with the utmost success. Previous to the day of meeting the application for tickets were. so numerous as at once to satisfy the committee that the large ball would he fully occupied, and before the hour of meeting (half past, 5 o'clock) every available space was filled by a respectable and highly influential assemblage. The de corations of the ball were very similar to those at the recent banquet of the British Association, with the following additions :—Over the Chairman's seat, at the east end, were suspended the national colours of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia, and on the south and north walls the union jack and tricolour alter nated. The west gallery, which was tastefully fitted up as a camp, draped with red and white, was occupied by the band of the Queen's Own Yeomanry Cavalry, and on each side were suspended the banners of England and France. In front of this gallery were emblazoned the ever to be remembered words, "Alma," "Balaklava," " Inkerman," " Sebastopol ;" and around the front of the north and south galleries, wreathed in evergreens, were the names of the illustrious heroes—Raglan, St. Arnaud, Pelissier, Simpson, Sir Colin Campbell, Bog quet, Marmora, Omer Pasha, Lyons, Bruat, Cathcart, Cambridge, M`Mahon. During the assembling of the company Mr. Lambeth played several airs on the grand organ. Precisely at 6 o'clock his Grace the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon entered the hail and took the chair amid loud and prolonged cheering. His Grace was supported on the Oat form by the following noble men and gentlemen : The Lord Provost ; the Duke de Coigny ; Sir James Fergusson, M.P. ; M. Maubousein, Consul of France ; Mr. Alexander Baillie Cochrane ; Rear-Admiral Mont gomerie ; Sir James Anderson, M.P. ; Mr. William Lockhart, M.P. ; the Duke of Montrose ; Principal Macfarlan ; Lord Belhaven ; Sir M. S. Stewart ; Lord Muncaster ; Sir Robert Milliken Napier ; Professor M. Nichol ; Mr. John M`Gregor, M.P. ; and Mr. Robert Monteith, of Carstairs. Sir Archibald Alison discharged the duties of crou pier. He was supported right and left by Sir William Maxwell, of Calderwood ; Mr. James Baird, M.P. ; Mr. William Stirling, M.P., of Heir ; Sir James Campbell ; Rev. Norman M‘Leod ; Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P. ; Mr. E. H. Cranfurd, M.P. ; Mr. Peter Blackburn, M.P. ; Sir William Wyndham Anstruther; Captain the Hon. H. T. Fitzmaurice ; Captain W. D. 0. Hay, 72d Highlanders ; and Captain Wilkin son, 42d Highlanders, Stirling. On the platform we observed,—Major Coates, 55th, from the Crimea ; Major Anderson, ditto ; Captain Wilkinson, ditto ; Major M'Donald, ditto ; Lieutenant Upton, 72d Highlanders ; Ensign Murray, ditto ; Ensign M•Kinnun, ditto ; Ensign Cockburn, 42d Highlanders ; Ensign Haines, do. ; Ensign Ceeley, do. ; Ensign Under wood, 39th; Capt.

Apologies were received from the Duke of Richmond, Duke of Buccleucb, Duke of Argyll, Marquis of Ailsa, Marquis of Breadalbane (why, sent a haunch of venison), Earl of Glasgow, Earl 01 Eglinton and Winton, Lord Melville, Sir Graham Mont gomery, of Stanhope, M.P. ; Sir A. C. Maitland Gib son, of Clifton-hall ; Mr. Alex. Smollett, of Bonhill, M.P. ; and Mr. Alex. Hastie, M.P. A blessing having been asked by the Very Rev. Prin cipal M'FARLAN, the company partook of a splendid re past, which, whether as regarded taste, quality, or abun dance, reflected great credit upon the purveyors, Messrs. Ferguson and Forester. It is worthy of notice that the non-commissioned officers and privates at present in Glasgow, who took a part in the glories of the Crimean campaign, numbering about 50, were entertained at the banquet. After dinner thanks were returned by the Rev. Non- MAN MI, ROD. At this stage of the proceedings the galleries were thrown open for the admission of ladies, who presented a brilliant assemblage. The noble CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the first toast, and was received with great applause. His Grace said—Gentlemen, under ordinary circumstances, in pro posing the health of the illustrious lady whose name - is first honoured on all our festive occasions, it would be proper that I should say a few words ; but, considering that I am in the society of Scotchmen, and considering the deep interest her Majesty takes in this portion of her dominions, and considering her affection for the sol• diers of her army, her solicitation for those in the Cri mea, many of whom having returned I see now here— (cheers)—it is unnecessary for me to say a single word to recommend the toast to you. The toast was drunk with great applause, and the band played the National Anthem. The noble CHAIRMAN then gave " Prince Albert an, the Royal family." He said it would be wrong, on tilt present occasion, to omit the name of one distinguishe , member of the Royal family—be alluded to the Duke of Cambridge. In the hour of danger he led on his gallant division, and at the moment of sickness be did his ut most to ameliorate the condition of the sick and the wounded. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN—The toast I am now to propose iF " the Army and Navy." As I shall shortly be called upon to address a few words on this subject, in connec tion with those of our army who have been in Crimean fields, I feel that the other officers who have distin guished themselves in other places will excuse me if I say nothing at present about the army in general. AP for the navy, I believe that, though they have had little opportunity of distinguishing themselves, they will eves be, as they have hitherto been— " The mariners of England Who guard our native seas, Whose flag has braved, a thousand years, The battle and the breeze." Admiral MONTGOMERIR, in reply for the navy, said— It is the misfortune, perhaps, but not the fault of the arm of the service to which I have the honour to belong, that they did not contribute more to the successes %Ida we have met this evening to. celebrate. At the same time I may be allowed to claim for them that their ser vices have not been al! , ogether unimportant. Their ser vices in the Sea of Azoff possibly contributed to gaining possession of the stronghold of the enemy. (Cheers.) Jack had not much to do, but I claim for him that wha' he did do he did it well, and I trust that not many hours Will elapse till we hear that the navy have brought up their lee way before Odessa. (Cheers.) I am sure that the British fleet will feel much gratified at the notice of it which has been here taken this night, and, as the oldest British officer present, I beg to return thanks for the honour you have done us. (Cheers.) Capt. WILKINSON, of the 42d Highlanders, returned thanks for the army. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, " Iler Majesty's 11Iinisters," said—As there may be a variety of opinions in connection with this toast, I shall do no more than refer to the noble lord at present at the head of her Majesty's Administration. I really think Lord Palmerston has conducted this war with a degree of vigour, which at his period of life is almost unequalled I believe in history. I think all Englishmen, of what ever party or shade of politics, should be grateful to him for it. The noble CHAIRMAN then gave "the Houses of Par. liament," and expressed a hope that as the honour of England was deeply involved in the contest in which we were now engaged no peace would receive their sanc tion which could not be brought about with honour. Mr. HAsTrE, M.P. for Paisley, being called upon by the noble Chairman to reply, mid—l have to return thanks for the honour conferred on me in being called upon to respond to the toast. I can only state with re gard to the Houses of Parliament that they have, from the commencement of the war, gone heart and hand with the unanimous voice of the people. (Cheers.) 1 am confident that, whatever parties there may be in the Houses of Parliament, the great majority will be in 'favour of the wise policy of continuing the war till we obtain proper securities for peace. (Cheers.) I, for one, hare the feeling which I am certain imbues the breast of every British subject, that there is no help for it now but to prosecute the war till we bring it to an honourable and lasting conclusion. I may further just express the deepest regret, the greatest mortification on account of the speeches made by three ex-Ministers of the Crown, which I consider as most unpatriotic, and as likely to render it more difficult fur the Administration they have left to carry on that war to a happy conclusion. I felt mortified exceedingly to think that any British subject, especially any one who had been parties to declaring war, should give utterance to such expressions. (Cheers.) I have to thank you in the name of the House of Com mons. As for the other House of Parliament, we well know that the Peers of the realm are imbued with every patriotic sentiment. (Cheers.) Mr, MVEIG9B . , M.P. ) then rose, amidst NOll2O COW SHOCKING MURDER AT SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTIIAMPTON, Sunday Evening,.--The most deter mined and dreadful murder which, perhaps, was ever perpetrated in this town, occurred this morn ing, during the hours of Divine service, at the house of the Rev. Mr. Poynd er, of 1, Moira-place ; Naomi N:ingswell, a fine girl of about 23 years of age, was deliberately murdered by a fellow-servant, named lidward Baker. It a p pears that the deceased, together with Baker, had lived as servants in the family for about five months, being previously known to each other in the Isle of Wight: During their stay in Mcira-place an intimacy was noticed by others in the house to exist be tween them, and it was evidently intended that they should shortly be married. Some little time since, how ever, it is said, Baker was guilty of an act which caused great offence o the deceased—in short, so annoyed was she at his conduct that, after informing him of it, she told him that she would no longer receive him as a suitor. Baker, however, persisted most positively that the whole st.iry was untrue, and continued to renew his pr .e: . vious att ,, ntions, which the unfortunate deceased :! B •erininedly refused. This morning, about one o , cic ‘? while Kingswell and another female servantwere m in c o a th:o kitchen occupied in the duties of the house, Baker back bhin odf the er deceased, ased deliberatelyand placingblew completely through her on the spot. The ball passe a d h her a b w d r i d s n brains na ls out,tmole immediately a killingtt he the back part of her head. An alarm i once rushed to the raised by the other servant, murderer was t alalarm, mt into a Pu doorolics annthavi n having naarrei arrived, of th e t the cne tody, and lodged in t h e po lice-station. Ais 80011 Z 3 Baker had murdered his vict im he remained perfectly still, and never atttempted in the slightest degree to make his or excuse himself for his hor r ibl e con d uc t. T es h e e a-p reverende gentleman of the house, who is a re tired clergyman, is away from home for the benefit of his health • but hie lady , who was at a church near, was immediately sent for. During the afternoon a large number of persons have visited the locality, and the dreadful affair has caused the greatest excitement through out the town. Upon searching the prisoner a wedding ring was found in one of his pocketq, which leads to th• conclusion that had it not been for the quarrel the de. ceasd and Baker would shortly have been married. An inquest will, doubtless, be held to-morrow. Th e B avoll Gazdte says that the family and en Or household of Count Augustus Brunetta d'Usseaux, Q ° nel of the Savoy regiment of Cavalry, have been poiso ne by mushrooms. The countess, her eldest son, and o servant, are already dead, and the eight other Wail tes the house are in a dangerous state.
