( From the Bambay Gazette, Dec. 1, 13244 ENTERTAINMENT TO MR. CRAW FORD. On Friday last an elegant public entertain ment was givea at the Chief Secretary's house in the Fort, to J. Li. CRAWFORD, E,q, previous to his departure for England. - About - seven o'clock the Company began to assemble and in a -snort time the Anti-rooms were nearly filled with guests ; among whom were the Honourable the Governor, Sir Ralph Itice, the Governor of Denman, the Chief Secretary to Govern_ anent—the Archdeacon—General Wilson, and' many of the most distinguished personages in the Settlement. At half past raven the band struck up the old and appropriate tune, when the. President and Stewards conducted their guests to the saloon, where a table was laid out for near two hundred persons, and Covered with evtry luxury the Island could afford. The Pre sident (Faasicts WARDEN, Esq.) was supported on his right by li/e. Crawford, and on his lett by the llon. the Governor. • ..'he Vice President's chair was filled by Mr. RITCIIIE in the abletice Of Mr. Malcolm, who was prevented from attending. On the removal of tire cloth, the PRESIDENT rose and pro posed the health of his Majesty, which was drank with three dm - dal:nits:, amidst loud cheers ; after which the Dolce of Viark and:the - Army, the Doke of Clarence and the Navy, the Hon. Company, .leatel Amherst and the Supreme Government of Bengal, Sir T. Munro and the Government of Mochas, were respecjvely drank with great applause ; the band playing- ap propriate tunes. Havre. given the 'preceding toasts Mr. Wattnner rose, and after briefly explaining the object of the 3leeting, and . advert ing to the necessity of observing great caution on the part of the community in the bestowal of its public ceonmendations of the conduct of individUals, appealed to the highly respectable and independent body of Men of this Society who had bestowed that testimonial, in this instance, as decisive of the justness of Crawford'a claims' to to honourieble a distinction. dir. `.Vanden having accepted the offiee of President conditionally, 'and Mr. Norton, the Advocate General, having been selected to officiat, in the event of the-absence of the former, availed himself of the opportunity of bestowing on that Learned Gentle- Man &merited tribute to his talents and eloquence, regretted that be did not occupy the Chair on this. occasion, instead of biusself, at the same time that he' Could not but rejoice that eircatinstances led to his redeeming the conditional pledge he had passed, as it enabled hint to assist Ir...doing honour to a fellowaervant whose friendship he -had so lone , enjoyed:a-that -he was emboldened to an acceptance of the office by a conviction that hashould again meet with. the same indulgent support, in tbodischarge of an arduous duty, which be.had experienced on fortneroccasionto Alr. Warden contrasted the difficulty of the task he had tarp perform with reference to the nature of the nu b_ ject,sdistrae-tedly considered, on which be had to descant, with thoseof a more popular chorea ; though he relied for support ea t h e p ers on a ' _reputation of Mr. Crawford, still the subject had I s peculiar merits; die field in which the honours of British heroes had been acquired, and the talents of British diplomatists . _ an d B r i t i s h s en a tors have been displayed in protecting the rights, -andoxtending the interests of our country, had been first occu pied an letalarg ed by the enterprising spiti t of British Merchants, Who had paved. the way of his glory and renown—that Corn .merce had been justly described as the tutelary gemitis of pacific rimiest, and the,eraille of conquerors. Mr. Warden dwelt on tO advantsget to a nation, and mote particularly to our native coontry, for what 'would England han.bccrt without her ships, .43)10tiles and Commerce r what would India have been without her external trade ; and what would this, island, in particular, have beets but for the bold, aad successful effarts -of British Merchants. fie entered into a rapid historrof the rise of Both baYi wad contended thatits present Aggrandizement, whether terniorially or politically considered, had been reared in the cradle of Commerce ; that-Bornbay,hatl, throogh the enterpriz ninx efforts of 'British Merchants, been raised from a place of no consideration whatever to be "the' Emporium 'cif Westein India, and was now . in a position- -to carry on a cont. anereial intercourse with every quarter .of the Globe.— asaumed credit for the branch of the service to which ''he 'belonged fat . the merit of having, laid the foundation of that prosperity, and in. particular of having ably assisted in the construction of that. noble superstructure up to this periOd, and - appealed in support of the tatter fact to the most respect abk and decisive evidences before the meeting - ha the person of Mr. Uziwrord; and of tire-former to- the system which origi nalliprevailed of .admitting civil servants alone to.- participate in . the Company's monopoly in India, which 'funned the basis of its present extended commerce.

' ledge of the commercial interests of British India,—and of every country connected with India,—from a thorough insight into the just principles of commercial policy, and for a successful . and honourable application of thOse principles to the promotion of his views, no one who had quitted Bontbay during his length ened experience, was more distinguised in these respects than his friend Mr. Crawford.—Mr. Warden appealed to, the test to which these qualifications had been -subjected during the last' seven or eight years, as a trying - and severe period of commer-' dal exigency ;—dwelt on the great and arduous responsibility that attached to the leading member of an old and eminent commercial establishment, and on the distinguished merit, the prudence and ability, with which Mr. Crawford had discharg ed so momentous a trust, during so eventful a crisis. Mr. W. next adverted to the character of Mr. Crawford as a member of this Society, and to the hospitality with which families arid strangers were received and sheltered under his roof on their arrival in a foreign land, and directed the attention of the meeting to the ardour and integrity of his exertions, whenever his friendship had been brought to the proof , as it had on many an occasion. Distinguished then, said Mr. Warden, as Mr. Crawford has been for so many years in promoting and consolidating the commer cial interests of Western India, in the course of which he has acquired an ascendancy arid a reputation to which his abi lities would etesally have elevated him, to whatever other pur suit in life they might have been devoted—has he not esta blished a claim to a remnant of that honourable mantle with - which we are accustomed occasionally to clothe individuals distinguished in the more ambitious pursuits of life, in pro moting and consolidating our political preponderance ? . Is he not entitled to a portion of the approbation .of his country ? In the respectability of the Meeting, Mr. Warden found the most satisfactory and decisive reply to the question. This, Gentlemen (Mr. W. concluded with saying) in the language of the b.* is my case,—l submit it with every degree of confi dence to your judgment,—a confidence not founded on any pre sumptuous belief that I have successfully pressed its merits on your conviction; but a confidence derived from a well-grounded assurance, that your own knowledge of the prominent features of Mr. Crawford's character will abundantly supply my omis sions and defects.—l propose the health of Mr: Crawford. The enthusiastic manner in which this s,peech was received, and the warm and flattering applause that followed the pro posel of the toast, proved how deeply every one participated in the feelings and sentiments so ably expressed by the President. The band played, " For auld laud syne." Mr. CRAWFORD, under great agitation of feeling; rose and addressed the Company to the following effect:— The very flattering manner in which the toast that my friend Mr. Warden has done me the favour to propose to you has been received by all present, demands my best acknowledg ments, and 1 beg -you to be assured that however feeble may be the language in which these acknowledgments may be con veyed to you, it is at least the language of sincerity, and that I feel, as I ought to do, the honour that has been thus conferred on me. But there are Some around me to whom lam sure it will be admitted, that my thanks more particularly belong; I allude to those kind friends with whom this entertainment ori ginated, and to whom I know not how sufficiently to express my gratitude. That they should have thought me deserving of so distinguished a proof of their regard, will ever be to me a source of the most heartfelt satisfaction; and though I can not but be aware that the partiality of friendship has greatly over rated any merit I may possess, and led my friends to overlook. detects of which I myself am sensible, I am yet willing to hope that I may, without laying myself open to the imputation of vanity or of egotism, venture to express the gratification it affords me, to know that my motives have not been misaken, , and that it is believed by those who have known me best, that • it has been my desire and my endeavour to do what I beliet„eti to be right on all occasions, as far as toe infirmity of my jodg mentwould permit. It would be presumptuous in me to4up. pose that it has not at times misled me, and sometimes, I fear, ' to the prejudice of others. Wherever this has been the case, I hope that they will he disposed to make the same allowance for Inc that 1 would do for them, and consider my errors, as tile errors of the understanding, and not the wilful failings of the heart. I shall not attempt, Gentlemen, to follow our worthy Chairman through the wide field of eloquence in which his powers of language have enabled him to indulge, but content myself with saying, that I could not have had a better example before me than himself in all that renders hospitality acceptable to those on whom it is bestowed. I found Mr. Warden on my arrival in. Bombay filling one of the highest and most respon sible offices under Government, and whitili he only vacated on his appointment to the elevated situation he now ,golds. His doors were thrown open to me, as to many. others, with kind ness that bespoke sincerity in a greater degree than I had ever before experienced. Kindness produced e-teem, and as --years rolled on, friendship and attachment MI; lowed in quick succession. Mr. Warden, Gentlemen,- is, I am proud to say, the oldest or my Indian friends ; my introduction to Idol took place on the, very day of my arrival at Bombay, and if any thing could have added to my satisfaction on this occasion, it would - have been the selec tion of one Iso much value to fill the chair this evening. Gen . tlemen, I will not detain you longer; when the heart is full words do not flow with the rapidity or facility one could desire, and I shall, therefore, simply propose to you the lIEALTII OF MR. WARDEN, and, the friends who have honoured me with this unexpected but highly valued testimony of their esteem. This address was received with plaudits loud and continued, and Mr. Crawford sat down quite overcome by his feelings. The Advocate-General (Mr. NottsroN) rose and spoke nearly as follows : lie had the honour at the delegation of the Chairman,. to propose a toast-which he knew would be received and drank with enthusiasm. It was the health of the most distinguished individual at the bead of the Society of . Bombay, and whit his name that of the Members of the Government of Bombay. A sense of decorum which he was sure every one present would naturally appreciate, and a deference to the high station which that honourable Gentleman filled, would restrain bins front at tempting -that which he was, indeed, quite unable to accomplish, an .eulogium upon the eminent qualities which adorned his chit racier. But although that feeling of respect would exclude hint from expatiating on such topics, he was fully assured that be fore the present company such panegyric was most unnecessary. The admiration due to his greet merits, and a grateful sense of the benefita we enjoyed under his Government, lived conti nually in the recollection and feelings of us all ; the fame and popularity which attended him was not that which was courted and run after, but that which followed and would survive him. He would see it in the contemplation of a prosperous and con tented people flourishing throughout an Empire happily sub jected to his Government, and in the generous and cordial at tachment evinced towards hint on all suitable occasions by the society of his countrytnen in this Presidency, united as they are together under his auspices. This was an attachment which did and ought to exist rather io oar hearts than in our mouths, but repressed as the expression of our feelings towards the Go vernor of Bombay were while he remained amongst us, there could be no doubt that they would be sufficiently represented by the acclamations with which he would be received at his re turn to our native country. On the present occasion his valued friend near him, Mr.'• Crawford, and the corn pony had great reason to thank hint for his kindness in honouring the present meeting with his attendance. It was most gratifying to. that Gentleman, and to all his nume rous friends assembled to do him honour, to know that the Governor of the Presidency cordially participated in the feel ings which had brought us together, and was anxious to add the valuable testimony of his respect. A public occasion like the present was one of which we might appropriately avail our selves to intimate our sincere esteem and veneration for his cha racter and, virtues ; and he trusted that the prey-eat company would, by their common and united voices, testify those senti ments towards him to which his own feehln, language was alto gether inadequate. He proposed the hettlth, of the :Ilopoura able 'Mr.' Elphinstone and- the GoVernment of Bombay, with three times three. . The Learned Geotlemin was repeatedly interrupted in iii address- by. loud and continued plaudita, and time toast wa l drank with the greatest enthusitt - sm. The band played Th e Garb of Old Gaul. - The Honourable the Governor rose and returned thanks to the Meeting, and resumed his seat amidst the warmest ap plause. Mr. CRAWFORD again rose. - ..The..toast that lam about to propose to you is fortunately one that needs not the aid. of panegyric to render it acceptable in this society, and lam sure you will join me in the senti ments I have expressed, • when I tell you that it • is the health of Sir Charles Colville to which I would call your attention. — His character as a soldier stands too highs in public estimation, to allow of my attempting to expatiate on its merits. I shall, . therefore, content myself with saying that it is recorded in :be annals cf our country and of Europe, arid will, be transmitted to posterity with that of the:greatest Miliary Leader of the Age. The political state of India has not affarded an opportunity, since Sir Charles's arrival amongst us, of. calling into action, .those military talents which he has displayed in other quarters of the globe; but we have seen him zealously devoting himi;.s.if. to - the important .duties.of his present. high situation with an attention to. the interests of those, under his , command, and more especially to the comforts of the soldier, that has ensured him the te:pect of all who leave witnessed his - atsziety on these points, from the moment df his landing to the prosent As a member of our Society we owa him. much, for his easiness. of access at all times, and particularly for ,the proof he has . afforded us in his own'person, that it is quite possible to main tain the respect which is due to official situation without relio-: ,quishing. the kindtrz;,is and_ fam,iliarity , of E t}fie°i:szi ;iris ti tie nitio,( LOVA and continued applause:)—The band playing' British Grenadiers. The PaEsingx T, in a short address, contra:tilted the Go. vernor of Deman ors his recent promotion, and proposed a bumper to his health, which was drank with applause. • His EXCELLENCY, rose, and very gracefully made his obei sance to the President, to the Hon. the Governor, and to the rest of the company. - • • The PitEstritre again rose, and spoke as follows GeritlernenTite next toast I have the honour to propose ; to you has relation to '4 distinguished individual who has recently joined our society, clothed with a grave and a high responsibi lity, as the Alen:hereof a Tribunal whit h is constitutionally the boast, the Pride, and the veneration. of every Englishman.— The fame of his reputation preceded his arrival amongst us. It had been established at a Sister Presidency, where he for many years filled the important office of its Recorder; and where we have been told that the eminent qualities he displayed in the administration of his high office, commanded the respect of the community, while the courtesy and affability of his cha racter in all the social relations of private life conciliated its at tachnie • These public and private virtues, gentlemen, irradiat ed and illuminated the eastern boundary of the British empire in India ; fortunately for us we are destined to witness their meri dian splendour, and to enjoy the protection of their mild and be neficeet influence in this its western hemisphere. The experience you have already had of their influence, will, I am sure, lead you to concur in opinion with me, that a remark with which that distinguished individual so justly illustrated the character of a good and gallant officer now no more, who was universally beloved and respected at this Presidency (cite late Commodore Grant) is strongly applicable . to himself,—l have never met with a man whom, on so short an acquaintance, I like so much. I give Sir Ralph Rice and the Supreme Court of Bombay— drank with applause :—The band playing—lVhilst happy in nay Native land. Sir RALPH Ries: returned thanks in a very appropriate speech which although short, expressed volumes in testi mony to his liberal. and exalteti principles, and warmth of heart. Th e yret-PaystnENT rose to propose the health of Ge neral Wilson and the Bombay Army, which was received with applause, and drank with three times three. Band playing Corygaum March. The General' returned thanks with much warmth of feeling. ' The bandhaving ceased playing, Mr. I RW IX rose, and spoke to the following effect : Ile felt particularly gratified by the task which the kindness of the President had devolved upon him that evening, and se cure of the sympathy of many who should hear the toast he was about to announce. \% their excellent friend Mr. Crawford was thus departing from amongst them, cheered by the plaudits and acclamations of the Society of Bombay, when his cup of joy was well nigh overflowing with this well earned meed of his worth and integrity, there was yet room for an increase and it would fulfil the measure of his joy to hear associated with Mai, in tie kind wishes and sentiments that breathed around him on all sides, the amiable partner of all his joys and sorrows; and many, many of the former and few of the latter, he (.Ir. I.) fervently hoped they might par ticipate in their course through life. Mr. I. concluded by pro posing the health of Mrs. Crawford and her family, with three thins three.-Received with great applause, and the toast was drank with much warmth of feeling. The band played an ap propri;l:etune. • • Mr. Caawronn returned thanks, under feelings which were 'sensibly affected by the allusions to, and good wishes expressed tiff, the welfare of his family. Colonel Bn Do its. in an animated speech, eulogised the high . character which the Firm of Remington, Crawford, and Co. had always sustained, anti expatiated upon the advantages which the community of this Settlement, both European and Native. heti derived from the public spirit which had acm nted all its measures from its rise to the present hour—tile exalted rank it held in the estimation of every one, for its in tegrity, and the hospitality which had been shown by every one of its reemherms He prooosed, in a bumper, success to the firm of Remington, Crawford, and .

Mr. DE VITAE, in an excellent though brief address, re turned thanks is behalf of the firm, and proposed a bumper to —" The Civil:Service of Bombay," which was drank with three 'times three Tune—" Bobbery Hunt." . Mr. WARDEN rose.---.ln returning his acknowledgments to the Meeting on behalf of the Civil Service of Bombay, 3lr. Warden expressed his regret that indisposition had prevented the attendance of a friend„llr. Jenkins, whose presence would have - -added as much respectability to the body of Civilians around the table as Ida diqinguished career through the service, from tlee moment of his entering the College at Fort William up to this periehl, had conferred honour upon it; that under any circumstances 31r. W: would have felt disposed to propose Mr. Jenkins's health on a visit to his own Presidency, hut as sociated as his name was with an event, the battle of Setabul dee,- of which this day was the anniversary, in which Mr. Jen kins had displayed an heroic anti gallant bearing, a noble ex ample of which had been set him by another" Civilian. en illus.: trious individual - • then' present, on the ith of :November preceding, at: thwbattle of Kirkee, every motive concurred in influencing hien to, propose a bumper to—" Alr. Jenkins and the Heroes Of Setabuldee." Drank with applause.. . • Mr. Citawf outs rose. —I rise, Gentlemen, on this occasion with.• mixed feelings of satisfaction and embarrassment, for the porpoise of introducing to you a toast; I sin sure you will drink it with pleasure and satisfaction, that it should have fallen tonty lot to propose a service with which 1 am in some degree connected; . through one of its oldest and most respected trembees ; and of embarrassment, lest I should from that very circumstance be unable to do it the justice I desire. I allude, Gentlemen, to the Marine Establishment of this Presidency, and of which I hope I may say, without giving offence to any one, diet rte services have always appeared to rue to have been greatly undervalned.—(4pplAuse.)—l shall not, Gentlemen, attempt to go back to those early days in which the commerce I of this Settlement owed its chief protection from piratical at tempts in our ()am immediate neighbourhood, to the unremit ting efforts of the Marine Establishment; but I would call . your attention,to its services at 1 more recent period. The re duction of the Dutch possessions, in the easternmost part of their Indian Empire, took place not very long before my own arrival in this country. At a subsequent period, within my own recollection, and that of many -around me, the vessels of the marine were engaged in co-opt. ration with those of his Majesty's Navy in the capture of the French Islands, and almost immediately afterwards in the re duction of the Island of Java and its dependencies, and they are at this moment eetioely and successively employed against a new and unexpected enemy. :or must I forget the services of this respectable body on the Western shores, where it has, on more than one occasion lent its aid in chastising the aggressions i i of the piratical States inhabiting the coast of the Persian Gulf. 1 I speak of this part of the services of the Marine with the 1 greeter confidence and satisfaction, because I am able to do so on the authority of one of the most gallant Officers and best of men that ever was entrusted with command in these Seas. I allude to my late and lamented friend Captain Wainwright, with whom it was my good fortune to live on terms of the greatest intimacy, and who has often told me, in his own ship and under his own root, wken he had no purpose to serve, and when he had no prospect of being connected with any of its -members, that he had- never seen greater seal and . devotion shown by any body of men than by the Marine Officers who had served under his orders—;Applause)—nor more achieved with Such feeble meet* than had been effected by them, whilst co-operating with the naval force of his Majesty under his corn mo.r.d. These sentiments, Gentlemen; were not promulgated with the VieSt of hlazoning forth the merits of the Se: vice in an of cial `dispatch—they were the genuine senti- meats of -his heart, anti as such will, I ane sure, be the more valued. by those to whom they were appliid. We have heard, Gentlemen, a good deal cf late of intended 'improvements -in'- the marine service, -and arnongat others that ' there is a prospeet.of the introduction of martial law atno dia. tant period.! It is-tire only thing required to give it the efficiency we must all desire to see it arrive at ; and I am sure you wili joie me in the hope that the exeectations which have been held forth on that ceore may speedily be realized. I will I not, Gentlemen, detain you longer, buti must request, before I sit down, that you will fill a bumper to Commodore Man- Waring and the Bombay. Marine.,—Drank with stpplause, the band playing " Hearti•of Oak." Conunadore Mastsvantsto for himself, and on behalf of those to whom the compliment was paid, returned his grateful . acknowledgments for the honour conferred. The Pa Esinwarn rose —As a corollary to the toast I have proposed of Sir Ralph Rice and the. Supreme Court of Bom bay, I give you, Gentlemen, " Th e Bar."—(Loud and con tinued applause.)...:Of the meliorations which the wisdom of our Governmelit at home lots gradually introduced into this country, as. our Empire over it has extended, none have proved more important and beneficial to the public, than. the restrictions which govern the saltation and nomination of gentlemen to .practice at the Bar ; the object of which is to secure • that full knowledge of the laws of our country and that 'practical experknee in the mode of their administration,- which are essential to the protection of our rights, pablic as well as. private.—(Applause.)—lost cad of those ' interests being committed as they formerly were, to individuals ignorant, uns'killed, and inexperienced in those respects, what has been the composition of the Bar since the promulgation of the charter of 1798 ?

This tatimony; Cfetiemen, to the character of the ttlitrabey liar in times past, is founded on' personal experience. In respect to the present, I have no hesi tation in saying that its character challenges a comparison with that of any former period. Its character, as at present consti tuted, is marked by all those endowments and high qualities which are necessarily derived from the discipline of an aca demical and profes=ionai education; it is gentlemanly—it is intelligent—it is enlighte:7eci, liberal, independent and manly. 1 give you Mr. Norton and the liar of Bombay. This animated speech was received with great applause, anti the toast was drank amlidnt load and continued plaudits, the bald playing" Since Laws rite made." . . . • Mr. N011 : ;'ON rose.—ln the name of his brethren of the ber and himself, returned their most grateful thanks. Although he could not affect w say but that the compliment of this toast was expected on the present occasion, he certainly could not have presaged the flattering and cordial manner in which it had been introduced and received. lie could not forbear at the present moment to express his obligations to their excellent President, for the kind and honourable allusions to himself as having been originally deemed worthy to occupy his chair.— He believed, indeed, that it was well known to the present corn-. parry that none amongst the numerous friervs of Mr. Crawford' who enjoyed the advantage of his familiar intimacy, could boast a warmer feeling of attachment towards him than himself. At the same time his acquaintance with that Gentleman was comparatively of short standing,—as short, indeed, as his acquaintance with the society itseit of this Pre.. sidency. However anxious, therefore, he might feel to distin guish himself as the foremost in doing honour. to .111 r. Craw ford, it would indeed have been presumption and an usurpa tion in him to have arrogated that conspicuous station so ably filled by a Gentleman of exalted" rank in - the Govern ment, who hail been united in the closest bonds of friend. ship with Air. Crawford for an unbroken series of eighteen years, and who wax so universally beloved and respected throughout all classes of our community. For the Bar of Bombay and for himself, as a member of it, he would say; that the integrity aad manly indenendence, which lied been referred to by their President as die appropriate charaeteris_ tics of his honourable profession, were qualities which he and. they knew could alone entitle them to that lasting estima tion with the public, to which it was alm:rst .the business of their lives to aspire. They had it ever impressed upon their feelings and conviction, that to the conduct end character of the members of his profession were attached the dearen- in terests of Englishmea. It was the highe,t an I most heart. felt gratification to them to infer, from the kindness with which their names had been mentioned, and the cordiality with which the present testimony of their respect had .been paid them, that they had acquired that estimation in society, which it was their continued object to preserve. Their proles-. sional tasks could not fail to be, in so limited a community, sometimes delicate and difficult, but if on such trying occasions his friends and himself laboured- to pursue an unswayed .and unswerving course, according to the interests reposed in them, he trusted they should never thereby lose any portion of that friendship and goodwill which in private life associated them all. He thanked, with deepfeh sincerity, the President for the expression of his personal friendship towards himself, it was a friendship he hoped long to retain, and he was sure it was one that he could only forfeit by his own fault. In the name of his brethren present, whose feelings and sentiments on this occa sion he knew all well to be his own, he again fervently thanked the company for the honours which they hid received at their hands. This speech, like the preceding one, was received with great applause. Soon after Mr. Norton had taken his seat, Mr. CRAWFORD again rose'and addressed the meeting in nearly the following words : I must once more trespass on your attention for a few mo ments, and propose to you a toast, which, like others that have preceded, will, I am persuaded, be received with satisfaction by all present. We have drank, Gentlemen, to various branches -of the Government, civil, military, and marine, and I do not know why the church should be forgotten on this occasion; for the presence of several of its most respectable members is a sufficient assurance that religion and rational conviviality may go hand in hand with each other. It is not my intention to trace the progress of the ecclesiastical establishment of our country in India ; it will be .sufficient for my present purpose to my, that the wisdom of the Legislature thought it desirable to put the clerical body on a different and, perhaps I may•be I permitted to add, a more respectable footing than it had been before that period, and that it was our fortune to have my worthy mad esteemed friend on my right appointed to the A rch (lea tonry of this Presidency. His conduct in that office has de servedly obtained for him the approbation and respect of aociety at large, and I cannot better convey to you my own sense of his merits than by expressing the regret I feel at his intended departure, though I shall not be here to Witness it; and my hopo that his successor, whoever he may be, may tread in the footsteps of Archdeacon Barnes. 1 propose to you, Gentlemen, the health of the Archdeacon of Bombay, and the Members of the Ecclesiastical Establishment of this Presidency.—Drank, with much applause. .• The Rev. litieTtetataie, in an address which we should attempt in vain to recapitulate, and do it the justice it merited, returned thanks for, himself, and on the behalf of the clergy of Bombay. The A DVoCATE-GIN RAL then proposed a mat t which he - was convinced all the present company would consioer appro. peiately connected with that evening's festivity, he meant that Of " Prosperity to the genetal Commercial interest of Bom bay." He felt assured that every mercantile man under this Government, who had lead an extensive experience, both knew, and was ready to acknctwledge the benefits which their common interests had deriied through the housa of Crawford and Co. Among those benefits perhaps the chiefest was, that by exact integrity in all their dealings, that house had ever upheld and explained the liberal and honourable prin ciples which AD conspicuously characterises the British mer chant. Mr. Crawford had not only sustained that high cha.. racter to the common honour and credit of his fellow-coun trymen so extensively following in his own prosperous path, but he had transfused much of that principle of mercantile candour and uprightness throughout all clams of the supe rior natives, to their lasting advantage, as well as honour. A very numerous body of them bad vary recently come forward, irresistibly urged, as they expressed themselves, to pay a debt of gratitude to that Gentleman, and attri buting, with heartfelt consciousness, much of the• ad. vancement and extension of their commercial prosperity to his intercourse among them. It is from the Prevalence of feerngs and principles like these, and to the high character sus tained by our merchants of every ciao and tribe, that we may indulge the hope, which he encouraged as an assured one, that this Presidency, originally the nucleus, will one day have swelled into the emporium of Eastern trade. As we cannot but be every one of us individually concerned in the prosperity of our general commercial interests, he besought the present company to testify their zealous cordiality in drinking the toast he proposed with three times three.—Received and drank with greet applause. Mr. Pa INSEP returned thanks for himself, and on behalf of the mercantile Gentlemen of the Presidency, in a neat speech. Mr. WEDDERIJURN, in a short speech, proposed a bumper to Capt. Thacker, and a prosperous voyage to the Upton Castle, which was drank - with much applause. Capt. THACKER, in a neat address, returned thanks for the honour done to hit».' _ _ Major BELLASI3 proposed, in an interesting speech, a bumper to the health of an old friend, Commodore John Hayes, which was drank with applause, and for which Mr. Crawford returned his heartfelt thanks. Many other toasts were given appropriate to the convivial en gagements of the evening, and several excellent songs were sungs by ainateurs. On no occasion do we recollect to have witnessed an enter. tainnient where more hilarity and good humour prevailed, or white more desire was evinced on the part of every individual to do justice to the object of the meeting. This evening will long be considered by all who were present, as one which has the strongest claims to be remembered with the most pleasur. able feelings. To the above highly gratifying testimony of the esteem In which Mr. Crawford is held by his countrymen in this Presi dency, i3 . to be added the proof of the respect felt towards him by the native mercantile community, lately evinced in the pre sentation to him of a piece of plate, valued at 700 guineas, ac companying an address of the most flattering description, which is signed by all the native merchants of any consideration in the place. The Duke of Butos heard the decree for his instant death pronounced by the Revolutionary Tribunal, in 1793, with unmoved tranquillity. On returning to prison, his philosophy maintain. ed that character of Eoicureau Indifference which had accompanied his happier years ; he ordered some oysters and white wine. The exe cutioner entered as he was. taking this last re past : "My friend." said the Duke, " hill attend you : hut let me finish my oysters. You m to u p s e t r r r e n t r i t u n ir ; e y s n t u re s t i l i g a t i l l t d fo ri r n t k he business you have a g l ass o f % N i ne w ith me." Jh filled a glass for the executioner, an. other for the turnkey, and one for himself ; and tSPai to the wh're he met place of execution, death with the courage that distinguishcl almost vietlins of that fearful period.
