Its immediate .°sJect, however, is to Connect Calcutta with the head of the Mutlah River, a distance of about 26 miles, over a F°llntrY: presenting a dead level, and to construct Wet Docks i_i..connection with th e ra il, a t th e l as t- name d pl ace . U n til is portion of the undertaking is completed and in work, it u " intended to commence any of the more extended opera tions. The questi on Sea t of opening a new communication fiotti the tngo the Port of Calcutta has for a considerable time past agkd the serious attention of all connected with the Go .,eritrent or the Commerce of India. The Committee of the rgal Charaber of Commerce addressed the Government of o , l4 n T'l on the subject on the 27th of March, 1853, pointing th .' the difficult and dangerous state of the navigation of re e P l er Hooghly, which threatens at no distant period to tienb" access to the, Port of Calcutta altogether imprac a 1? for any vessels but • those of the smallest ton inge''ad calling attention to the practicability of p t arutltinew communication to the sea by mea s of the e nt ,:a* -- is river, the Committee proceed to state, "the ",_ae of which is about 50 miles to the eastward of the t e ,aiY. and to be approached from the sea without any ma fro`lai difficulties of navigation At the distance of 23 miles i n its mouth it has a good sheltered anchorage for ,ls e els of the largest burthen., Its tides never run more than .: to four miles an hour, and the flood-tide is never accom r dbY a bore.

Ward, of the Honourable trnPany's surv e yi ng vessel Krishna, to proceed to survey and report upon its present state, and as to Whether it had since the last survey, 14 years previously, s t4 ;: e _ r golle any mat er i a l c h anges ; and instructions to Colonel -, the consulting engineer to the Government of India, e xa mine the cou n t ry b e t ween Calcutta and the head of the and ti allt With the vie o w ailway between f ascertaining the ptworacticplaceability the expense of a railway the Directors are in possession of copies of the Reports of aboVe-named officers, as well as one of the official charts a 7 1 ,11 4 survey s made in connection with them. The R e p or t o f ( 7 0 HoOghly Committee states " that the River Hooghly has det eriorated up to the present time ; that that deterioration has b een gradual, and caused by the shoaling and contraction of its deep chancels from accumulations of silt, and that, nu the present condition of the river, the deterioration will I: l , l)r ogressive." Lieut. Ward reports that he found the had not c h ange d since the last survey in 1839 ; that the — ,, a st water in the cha n n e l i s f our f a thoms at low-water spring 'ea (with a rise of fourteen feet, which wonkl give 38 feet at ,Igh water), and that there is nothing to prevent vessels of i l: a e i l e a r cg est tonnage proceeding up the river at ail times." Col. reply is of an equally satisfactory character. The fol „",nag extracts from his official report, dated Aug 26,1853, will Znw the entire absence of engineerino. difficulties :—" I have Z' L ade such personal examination as the season admitted of the untry .ea establish n in g g between Calcutta and the head of the Mntlah 2 v er, .and have satisfied myself of the perfect practicability a communication between these two.points by Teans either of a railway or a ship canal."

The growing taste for musical performances of a high order and upon an extensive scale rendered it necessary that some suitable provision should be made at the West End of London for such entertainments. While this acknowledged want has long since been supplied in Liverpool, Birmingham, and other provincial cities, the metropolis remains singularly deficient in proper accommoda tion for such performances--possessing, in fact, no build ing well adapted to the purpose. Exeter Hall not having been originally intended for concerts or similar performances, its architectural proportions aro ill suited for musical effects; it is deficient in facilities of ingress and egress, and the regu lations of those entrusted with the management preclude the .performance of some of the highest works of art. The pro posed building will be expressly designed with a view to aid the effect of instrumental and choral performances, either singly or in their various combinations, and the facilities of approach and exit will be amply provided for. There is also a great demand for Halls of a similar descrip tion in a locality easily acre Bible and convenient for the aris tocracy. This requirement is evidenced by the large amount of public patronage bestowed upon the Egyptian Hall, Picea dilly,..and the Gallery of Illustration in Regent-street. The promoters of the present scheme propose to erect a Grand Hall, 134 feet by 60, and 60 feet in height, and two minor Halls, one 60 feet by 48, and the other 48 feet by 40, and 23 feet in height. A site peculiarly eligible for the purpose has been secured, which will be held on lease direct from the Crown, for a term of 75 years, and the building will have the advantage of four distinct entrances, with frontages in Regent-street and Picea dilly. Tee site in question affords ample space for all the appli ances necessary to render the Hallscomplete in every respect. In add;t; on to a commodious orchestra, it is proposed to erect galleries and boxes, with suitable waiting-rooms, with a separate entrance and vestibule for the convenience of her Majesty and the Royal Family, and without losing sight of a due regard to economy, to make the St. James's Hall the most perfect and complete building of the kind in Europe. . Arrangements have also been made for the purchase of the adjoining property in Regent-street, thus securing a third minor hall, 60 feet by 40, and about 30 feet high, together with other extensive premises, which it is proposed to convert into a Restaurant of the first class, adjoining and communi cating with the Concert Rooms. Refreshmeuti of all descrip tions will thus be attainable at any hour ; and facilities will be afforded for appropriating either of the halls to public dinners or balls.

Every preparation had been made to give due éclat to I the occasion. The exterior of the club was briliantly illu- I , urinated, the word "Kars" being conspicuously exhi bited in gas letters over the principal entrance, and the dining-hall was profusely decorated with atm., flags, banners, and laurel wreaths tastefully grouped into ap propriate devices. The chair was cccupied, by Sir A. C Yckburn, Attorney-General, on whose right were Sir W. F. Williams, and his gallant comrade, Major Teesdale ; Earl Fortescue and Colonel Lake sitting nn the imme diate left. Covers were laid for 150, and the company comprised Dr. Sand with, Mr. Churchill, Mr. Redhouse, Colonel Freestun, M.P., Colonel Shaft() Adair, M.P., Mr. T. Bass, M.P., Sir J. Paxton, M.P., the Attorney- Get oral for Ireland, M.P., Mr. J. Forster, M.P., Mr. G F. Muntz, M.P., Major Reid, M.P., Mr. W. H. G. Langton, M.P., Mi. Joseph Acton, M.P., Mr. H. Ingram, M.P., Mr. T. A. Mitchell, M.P., Sir James Matheson, M.P., Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, Sir John Scott Lillie, Mr. Henry Grattan, Mr. G. Mof fat, M.P., Mr. W. Beaqmont, M.P., &c. During the dinner the band of the Scots Fusiliers, which was stationed in the entrance ball, admirably per formed a variety of martial and operatic airs. On the removal of the cloth, • Sir A. COCKBURN rose to give the first toast. He said —I rise to propose that toast which on all occasions of public festivity stands first and foremost in the expression of our loyal and patriotic feelings— " the health of her Majesty the Queen." With us that toast is no idle form or unmeaning ceremony. Attached as weall are to con stitutional monarchy, which we believc to be the best se curity for our liberties, the personal virtues of ottr Sovet: reign, both public and private, convert the dry and ab stract sense of loyal duty into a warm, enthusiastic, and chivalrous sentiment of personal devotion. (Cheers.) In our aspirations for the political happiness of mankind we can breathe no better wish than that theSovereigos of the earth should imitate her example and her virtues, and that their rule should be as mild and beneficent as hers. (Hear, hear.) The toast of " Irer Majesty" will, there fore, lam sure, awaken a responsive echo in all your bosoms. (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. • Sir A. COCKBURN then said—l have now to propose to you a threefold toast, " The Health of the Illustrious Consort of our beloved Sovereign, the patron and protec tor of science, literature, and the alt: ; the health o f th e Royal heir of these realms, who, born aad bred under such auspice , , we may fondly hope will be• all that his future subjects could wish or desire ; and, lastly, the health of the illustrious family inseparably associated not only with the best of our historical recollection-, but with the maintenance of our civil and religious liberties." (Loud cheers.) Seeing that we are met on an occasion dangers which savours more of a military than of a civil charac itielru,stlri ous cannothou house but h has recollect t shared that one the soldiers'and 'the soldiers' toils—who in that great siege which engrossed the attention of the whole world has shown member of that that he possesses the inherent bravery of his race, and all those qualities of head awl heart which should at tach to their commander those whom he _has to lead on the battle-field. (Cheers ) . The toast was duly honoured. Sir A. COCKBURN—The next toast is one which ought never to he passed over, and certainly not on an occa '4on like this, when, at the close of a war which has covered our soldiers and sailors with glory, we are tnet to do honour to 'one who among a host of heroes stands conspicuous for transcendent merit. (Cheers.) The toast I have to propose to you is, " the Army and Navy." At no time could Englishmen feel more crate ful to those services than after the war from which we have Just emerged. Never did the army of England achieve for itself greater renown. It is true that the operations of a prptracted siege did not give an oppor• tunity fcr the display of these strategical abilities which in former times crowned our arm's with glory ; but we have had stubborn fights to wage, in which the courage of our troops has been put to the test, and periods of privation and suffering which have tried their powers of endurance to the uttermost. (Cheers.) Well and nobly have they issued from these ordeals. The stern .battles of the Alma, - of Balaklava, and of Inketman were pre eminently soldiers' battles. (Hear.) . They showed that Britons still possess the same stubborn and indomitable courage which has distinguished them in all ages and in all cline=. Our navy, too, has only w`a.nted an enemy to contend with. Never was it in a higher state of effi ciency. Never was its spirit more gallantly strung than it is now, and was throughout the late war; and, if it has not signalised its prowess as highly as it could have wished, it is simply because its power was so manifest that its foe durst not venture forth to meet it. I fear we. have no representative of the navy present ; but I see before me gallant members of the sister service, and I have great pleasure in calling upon one of that proud throng to respond, because of his intimate association with a hero "to' whom we to-night do honour. Among those whose fame will be . inseparably bound up with the name of Kars is Colonel Teesdale. I his t gallant tie o aefaotfhseor worthyat ourfestive b a sire o r board, and dis tinguished o man then concluded by giving "The Army and Navy," I rejoicee g trt)couple °s a eueP son with the toast. (Cheers.) The Chair connecting with the toast the name of Colonel Teesdale, senior, of the Artillery. (Loud cheers.) Colonel TEESDALE, senior, in returning thanks, et served that the reception which the Guards and other portions of the army bad met with on their return from the Crimea fully evinced the generous sentiments of the people of Englaud towards that service, and he felt con fident that the army, whenever called upon, would al ways entitle itself to an equal meed of public gratitude. (Hear.) The gallant colonel also expressed his acknow ledgments for the kind invitation he had received to meet his son. Sir A. COCKBUEN—Gentlemen, I now rise to propose to you the toast of the evening, "Our gallant, our distin guished, our honoured guest, Sir William F. Williams, of Kars." (Prolonged deering.) I have designated him by the rasne which it has pleased his Sovereign to confer upon him—a name which will henceforth be associated in imperishable renown with that beleaguered city of which he by his courage and energy so long protracted the defence. But there is another name which I hope will still cling to him in spite of the new title with which he has been rewarded. Let him still be "the Williams Pasha—chok adam dur "—that "no end of a man," which the brave Turks under his command not inaptly cfilled him. I own that I feel myself placed in circum stances of no ordinary embarrassment. Icannot do jus tice in his presdiace to Sir Wm. Williams, of Kars, for in attempting to portray merit like nisi truth necessarily assumes somewhat of the semblance of flattery. Yet when it devolves upon me to present his name to your notice, and I see him surrounded by a gallant band of warrior brethren, it is impossible for me to remain silent. Assuredly history presents no instance in which difficul ties, apparently insurmountable, obstacles to ordinary men insuperable, have been so gallantly overcome by the force of genius, of courage,lof indomitable energy, and untiring perseverance. (Cheers.) When Sir Wm. Williams 'pent to Kars he found an army—if such, in deed, it could be called—demoralised, disorganised, des titute of everything ; abandoned and plundered by those whose business it was to support it ; despairing of every thing ;in the face of an enemy disciplined, proeisioned, and consisting of gallant soldiers, led by able generals. Under these adverse circumstatces this crave hero never for a moment desponded. He grappled with villanous pashas—(laughter)—be thwarted and repressed their love of peculation and plunder, stimulated the dormant ener gies of others, inspired all with a portion of his own acti vity and courage, won the confidence of the Musselmen troops, and animated them with the belief that, under his guidance, . they were a match for th e su p er i or strength of their foes. (Cheers.) From such materials he found the means of defending that otherwise doomed city. For months he maintained that defence by his own vigour, energy, and courage, assisted by a band of heroes worthy of their leader. If after a time, however, Kars was destined to fall, it did not sur render until an army overwhelming in numerical strength had been repulsed from its walls. If it fell at last it fell not beneath the sword or the cannon of the enemy, but before that foe—famine, which neither courage, ncr vi gour, nor resolution can resist, and in its fall it covered its garrison with a glory as imperishable as the renown of their heroic defence. The name of Sir William 'Williams will ever live in the grateful recollection of his countrymen. All are proud to do him honour ; for if there be one thing with which Englishmen sympathise more than another, and to which they more heartily give the weed of their unmixed applause, it is courage, vigour, energy, displayed amid overwhelming difficuity and disaster. (Cheers.) By these great qualities our h. - 'loured guest has been eminently distinguished—l will not say above his fellows, but in the foremost rank of England's cherished warriors his name will fill a promi nent place. We are proud to welcome him among us, to pay our humble tribute to his transcendent merit: This is, it is true, a political institution, yet I am sure I speak the sentiments of • all when I declare that politi cal considerations have bad no influence in this demon stration. (Cheer.). When we first invited him to be comeour guest I believe none of us knew what were his political opinions, nor should we have eared. As the poet says : " Before such merit all distinctions fly." And as the mountaineer in ancient times would not ask the name or lineage of his guest, so we are only too proud to pay the tribute of our homage to the valour of the soldier, without inquiring for a moment what is the cha racter of the Politician. I take the liberty of r e p ea ti ng what was said to him by his magnanimous foe, General Mouravieff—that, associated with Kars, he has earned for himself an undying name in the history of warfare. (Cheers ) I beg therefore, gentlemen, to propose to you a toast, to which I know you will all respond with eneunited acclamation and one united heart, "the health of the illustrious Sir William Williams, of Kars." (Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst enthusiastic applause. Sir WILLIAM WILLIAMS was received with loud and prolonged cheering. He said—Mr. Cha'rman, my lord, and gentlemen, in rising to return thanks for the toast which has been so eloquently proposed and so enthusi astically drunk, I can avure you that I am at a loss to , find-suitable terms in which to acknowledge'your kind . nem.

I bave enjoyed the hespitality of my brethren in arms in military clubs. hue also been magnificently entertained by public bodies in the city of London ; but the invitation with which I was favoured from the Reform Club was received by me with especial satisfaction—(hear)—because I felt that it emanated from a body of men of great eminence and great politi cal power, and was given to me, not in my capacity of a politician, but simply as a soldier. To the allusions made by your chairman to my companions in arms and to the brave Turks who co-operated with us I am moot happy to respond. I have on former occasions expressed, and I Cannot too frequently repeat, my grateful sense of the manner in which my gallant comrades stood by me —of not only their great courage, for that I expected from them, but of their great abilities ; and if with such assistance I had not performed the part which fell to my lot I should have come far short of the just anticipations of those who intrusted me with their confidence. The Turkish force which acted under me in Asia Minor un dervrent all the privations and terrible trials to which they were exposed in a way which it is impossible to praise too highly. They, therefore, deserve the generous appreciation of the British public-as well as their sym pathy and respect. It was not alone the Turkish soldiers whO fought by my side at Kars who conducted them selves so admirably; Equal honour is due to tie heroic townsmen of that city, and even to the heroic women —I might almost also add the children among its popu lation whose patience and self-abnegation under the greatest misery and distress are well known to you all. Of one fact, however, you may not be aware. On my return from Tiflis over the Caucasus I met Gene ral Mouravieff at Stavropol, and almost the last thing be told me was that after he entered Kars in one house he found nit less than,lQ, c oa,se.; of these heroic men, who, too protid to ask for thaw wlvtlisy knew My own garrison and the women and children of the place stood so much in need, had silently died of starva tion. (Cheers.) My gallant friend, as I shall always be proud to designate Genetal Mouravieff, further ob served that be found in many houses one, and in others two bodies of persons who shared a similar fate. I mention these facts as some proof of the truth of the assertions I make, whenever I have the honour of addressing a pub lic audience, as to the vitality of Turkey if she is treated by the allies in the way whieh she ought to be. (Hear, bear) If a high tone is taken towards the Turks—if they are told that they must endeavour to reform their institutions and eradicate that corruption which has been the plague-spot on their country—or, when the inter vention of the allies is again necessary, it will not take place in the interests of the Turks only—if such a tone is adopted towards them, I have no doubt that Turkey will right herself, and that England and France will reap the fruits of the treasure they have spent and the blood they have spilt in her defence (Hear, hear.) Above all things, they should be told that we can never believe that the Central Government cannot repress assassina tion or the wholesale murder of its subjects in any part of the empire. On this point I will particularly insist in Parliament and elsewhere, for I know every portion of the Country from the cataracts of the Nile to the moun tains of Armenia. I can give you an illustration of what I mean. In the city of Erzerotun a serious rising of the population took place, not against the Christians, but against a certain sect of Mahometans, when an ambassador's house was forced and his secretaries and servants put to - death. I was present when this insurrection of many thousands of armed men occurred, and -I see opposite a gentleman who was by my side on that occasion. We went out and calmed the crowd— the amba.sador was rescued, and for a time the disturb ance appeared to be allayed. Yet the criminals remained in the town, and doubtless the outrages would have been repeated but for what lam about to relate. In consequence of toy representations to the central Go vernment, bodies of troops, no less than five months after, were marched into the disaffected part of the country, and occupied and surrounded the town, when in the space of half-an hour the whole of the culprits were arrested and delivered over to justice. I narrate this circumstance in the hope that the people of England, in conjunction with the French—that noble and splendid nation—will in future insist en the Ottoman• authorities immediately marching a force into any district where violence is committed, and require, in fact, that the law shall be vindicated. If this course be taken, and the desired result attained, the blood spilt and the treasure spent in the late war, I repeat. will.not have been wasted. Gentlemen, you know that I hive been returned to Par liament. In selecting me the electors of Caine have paid me the highest compliment which a stranger could possibly receive. As I told my constituents, so I will' tell you, that I enter the House of Commons solely that I may on fitting occasions offer to the country my opi nions on military matters, with which I have, perhaps, BOMB acquaintance, and also on the affairs of the East: On these two que-tions, and on no others, do I take my seat. It is quite impossible that a m an 'w , go has served his Sovereign for 32 years, 27 of which have been passed abroad, can have anything to do with the party politics of this country—(hear, hear)—and, moreover, as I stated to my constituents, lam wholly ontinge 1 by interested views or personal ambition. I trust that my future conduct will bear out these professions. (Cheers.) I hope I do not flatter myself when I say, I believe that I am looked upon by the people of England with a certain degree of respect and—perhaps I may presume to add—affection—(hear, hear)—and the expression of my convictions at suitable opportunities may be of some little service. (Cheers) At the same time I feel equally confident that if I venture to dabble in things which I don's understand—if I once attempt to go beyond my depths, that instant I shall forfeit all the influence I have acquired. (Hear, hear.) As your excellent chairman ob served, we have now reached the termination of a uteri ous war. If you had been in Russia, and had heard,-as I have done, the sentiments uttered by our late antago nists, you would have no room to doubt that for us the conflict was a glorious one, and .the peace equally so. ; (Hear, hear.) You k n o w h ow we began this struggle. We did so—as I have previously said—wileut a system,, without establishments, and, in fact, with half a sword. (Cheers.) Instead of being able to rush into the fight immediately after the declaration of war we had then positively to forge our weapons. I had the high grati fication this day to show to a most intelligent and ami able prince—Prince Oscar of Swe';en—before his depar ture from our shore, the Arsenal at Woolwich—an es tablishment which he had previously visited seven or eight years ago. It was pleasing as well as most instruc tive to me and others to hear that illustrious personage compare what he witnessed at the Arsenal only this day with what be saw there on his former visit. The effici ency of that splendid establishment has grown out of our efforts since the war commenced. I bring these matters under your notice in the hope that the improvements which the distinguished Prince I have named discovered and commented upon with such satisfaction may not, by any motives of false economy, be suffered again to dwindle into nothing, until, perhaps, another war shall startle the country front a sleep like that from which it recently awoke unprepared after a period of 40 years. (Hear, hear.) These are the topics to which, when I have the pleasure of addressing any public assembly, I wish to advert: I trust that the members of the Reform Club will lend their lid in a matter in which the national safety is at stake, to guard from undue diminution the effective armaments and munitions which have sprung, as it were, from our blood and our mortification, and which ought to be vigilantly preserved. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I might continue this strain of remark almest indefinitely, but I fear I have already trespassed too far on your indulgence for an after-dinner speech. (No, no.) Allow me, therefore, only to add that I thank the chairman most sincerely for the very eloquent and too flattering terms in which he has introduced my name, and this company for the very handsome manner in which they have received it. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Colonel S. 'ADeIR ' M.P., said he bad to.prop ose a toast without which the proceedings,of that evening would be incomplete. They had all heard Sir W F. Williams, in language which became the brave leader of brave men, express the high admiration in which he held the gallant men who had participated in his achieve. ments and his glory ; and they kuevv the generous sen timents which actuated him to be such that he insisted that in any honours paid to himself his brother officers should receive a share. (Hear, hear.) The annals of the British army abounded in brilliant examples of he roic bravery and fortitude, but were it embed with not • more glorious than those of Silistria and Kars. He had therefore much pleasure in inviting them to drink, with all the hOnours, " the health of Colonel Lake, Colonel Teesdale; Dr. Sandwith, Mr. Churchill, and Mr. Red house, comrades of General Williams in the defence of Kars." (Lend cheers.) Col. LAKE, , n acknowledging the compliment, re marked that, however undeserved be and his compa nions in arms felt the euloginme passed upon them to be, it was gratifying to them to know that their poor endeavours to do their duty were 'apprectated by their countrymen and by their distinguished hosts. With such a bright example before them as that set by their gallant chief, it would have been strange indeed, if they had not striven to . acquit themselves to the best of their ability. (Cheers.) Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. WOOD Enid that the )ask• had been intrusted to him of calling them away from the tones of triumph in which th e y b a d heretofore been in dulging to listen to a sadder strain, and one akin to the seleinn and muffled peals which accompanied "the Dead March." He had to bring to t heir recollection the me mory of Captain Thomson and the brave men who fe'l at Kars. (Hear, hear.) That theme would not be as un welcome as the skeleton at the feasts of the heathen, be cause, to speak of no higher feeling, as patriots and Eng lish gentlemen, they must feel a mournful satisfaction in rayi+ g a tribute to the brave departed who had fallen in the diecharge of their duty. They could not but think of the hopes of renown which must, in some degree have cheered on those gallant spirits in their heroic efforts, for who could forget the memorable saying of Nelson, "The peerage, or Westminster Abbey." These heroes., now no more had, in the words of General Mouravieff, their chivalrous opponent, added a brilliant page to the history of civilised warfare, and having helped to heap up that best of all national treasures, the inspiring ex. amples of a country's bravest suns, it might be truly said of them that— " Ev'n in their ashes live their wonted fires." (Cheers-.) He had no wish to draw any comparison to the disparagement of our allantarrn y 21 d g/4w:ca l l in pelt, e •s el other quarters • of the globe. The would comae t. when our own great commander, who [r army to the Crimea and defeated an overwhelms --- . Alma and Inkerman, would recreive that he had up to• this hour been denied. Yet tbs\imala S band of heroes, shut up withit. an Asiatic foit'ress,. s with starvatiohestaring,them in the face, not knowing - but that tier lives would fail a sacrifice to hunger or the sword of the foe, unconscious that any historian would tell their deeds to Ehrope, and ignorant that they had a gallant adversary who would do them justice— displayed a valour and fortitude under such circuia stances that pre-eminently entitle them to the affections ate admiration which the people of England felt fey General Williams and his gallant companions. (Heat. Turning, however, to the officer whose loss they deeply deplored—Captain Thompson —his name was first made known to the public at home by the touching incident connected with the transmission to Kars of his medal, • (bestowed for his Services rendered in India,) by hid mother in England, who fearing that this decotatiori might be intercepted by the enemy, wrote a letter ao companying it to General Mouravieff, appealing—not in vain, as the event proved—to his honour as a soldier to allow a soldier's reward to reach the breast entitled to wear it. (Hear, hear.) The height of Karadagh was intrusted to Captain Thompson, who was seen from morning to night incessantly sweeping the horizon with his telesoope, and at night viiiting the outposts , : On that great Michaelmas-day of last year this young officer, although not stationed in the position that was attacked or engaged immediately in the conflict, yet, with an energy and an intelligence which anticipated the orders - of his commander, turned a large gun under his charge against the advanced guard of the approaching Rus sians, and thereby rendered essential service in achiev ing the victory in which about 7,000 men left about an equal number of the enemy dead on the field. (Hear.) There was such a strong parallel between the conduct of our gallant countrymen on St. Michael's day, 18154. and what happened 400 years ago at Agincourt, that ha (Sir W. P. Wood) could not refrain from quoting, with a slight change, the language that our great dramatist put into the mouth of men whose sentiments were iden tical with those which animated General Williams and his noble comrades : " If we are marked to die, we are enow "To do our country loss ; and if to live, "The fewer men the greater ahem of honour. et Then shall our names, " Familiar i n th e i r mout h s as household words— " Williams, Lake, Thompson, Teesdale, Sand with, [Churchill— _ " Be in their flowing cups - remembered. " This story shall the good man teach his son ; "And now St. Michael's-day shall never go by, " From this time to the ending of the world, " But we in it shall be remembered, " We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." (Cheers.) He begged to give "The memory of Captain Tbompscn and the brave men who fell at Kars." The roa , t was drunk amid solemn silence. Mr. M. T. BASS, M.P., in proposing "The Turkish Defenders of Kure,' sail it was impossible to despair of the nation which produced the troops who fought at Citate, Oltenitza, and Kars. Even a General like the one whom they had met to honour could do little with out the help of good soldiers ; and it was only when good soldiers were led by a good General that deeds could be performed such as those achieved at Kars. In the memo rable defence of that devoted fortress the troops were wirthy of their officers and their officers worthy of such troops. (Cheers.) Sir A. COCKBURN—I beg, to give you a toast which I know will find -a ready response in the generosity of Bri tons. We have spoken hitherto only of the.defeaders of Kars. lam now about to refer to one of its assailants. While I distinctly disclaim and repudiate all hypocritical magnanimity, I am ready to shake hands after the com bat with a gal'ant enemy. Yet, where I have been forced to engage in the fight by injustice and tyranny, I am not prepared the day after it to hug to my bosom the man with whom I have stood in mortal conflict. (Hear.) I leave it to the unctuous phraseology of diplomacy to Smooth over matters of . controversy between hostile nations. ("Hear, hear," and a laugh) I am not one of those who admire Russian tactics or Russian diplo macy. But there are splendid exceptions; and if we shave to complain of the conduct of the enemy towards our wounded on the heights of Inkerman, or of the manner in which an unarmed boat's crew were at tacked at Hango—(hear hear)—where we ad an anta gonist animated by the find noblest sentiments of chivalry and soldier-tike generosity let us not refute to do him honour. ([fear, hive) Among the chivalrous soldiers of the world the gallant Mouravieff deserves - a con• spicuous place. (Cheers.) All that we have heard of him is, calculated to inspire us with the - warmest and most enthusiastic admiration. (Cheers.) Our honoured guest will, lam sure, bear out every word lam about to utter. When, reduced by the horrors of famine, -and seeing his soldiers perishing day by day, until at length only a miserable ren - nant of them was left, Sir W. Will. haute felt that the time bad come when he must seek honourable terms of capitulation, he went forth to meet General Mouravieff, and was received by him in .the most frank, gallant, and high-minded spirit. (Cheers:) When our valiant guest declared that he was prepared to surrehder,'but must demand honourable-Wails, and that if he did not obtain them nothing should be left to furnish a trophy to the enemy—that 'everything should be destroyed, and the conquerer might then enter to wreak his vengeance on the heipleis band' worn down and wasted by hunger and disease, General Mouravieff - at ones replied, " I wish to inflict no re venge or humiliation on an army and a General whose merits .1, as a soldier, 'am the first to acknowledge have earned for them a name in history. lam ready to meet you on terms which are all that cue soldier can ask from another," In this spirit the capitulation was agreed upon. , There sits Dr. Saudwith, whose devotion during this famous siege will live Jong .in the grateful recollection of his countrymen, and whose admirable work shows that his literary talents are as great as his professional skill and his gallantry in the field. (Cheers.) That gentleman tells us how Inagua* monsly the brave Mouri.vieff behaved < in at once giving him his freedom. The eloquent and gifted judge who- recently addressed us related to us the affecting anecdote of the mother and her son, which also redounds to the immortal honour of this Russian generals ire whom we must all feel that our own noble commander meg a worthy foe, The toast, therefore, that I have now to off--r you, which finds no pace upon the list, .but bas arisen spontaneously, is one which tnust be hailed with :acclamation, not merely by every soldi r present, but by every man capable of responding to high and honour able emotions? I give you, gentleman, "The health' of General Mouravieff.v Drunk amid loud applause. Mr. T. NORTON, in proposing " The Houses of Parlia ment," briefly adverted, to the fact that the club had the honour of welcoming to its board in one and the same person an illustrious hero and the youngest member of the Lower House. ' Earl F:RTESCUE, in responding on behalf of the House of Lords, stir! —I feel persuaded that this assemblage; re garding the Upper House as a settled order of the State and an essential part of the constitution, will al ways be disposed to accord whatever measure of respect it is en titled to claim. Although you may regret, as I do, the recent shortcomings of that body on an important ques tion connreted with the great principles et religious liberty, yet if you revert to the general course at our legislation for the last 10 years, and to the improvements which, under the direction of honest and liberal Govcrn merits, have been made in the laws regulating commerce and navigation, and in our various institutions.--,moral, social, and e.ionomical—you will not be inclined to deny to the House of Lords a fair share of the credit due to those who adopted measures which have resulted:in the increased prosperity and contentment of all classes. In the peculiar circumstances under which we have met to night, I may perhaps be allowed to claim.an additional meed of praise for the House of Lords on account of the joy with which it bailed and the promptitude with whieh it passed the act which enrols the name of Sir W. F. Williams of Kars in the pages of our statute-book along with such worthies as Nelson, Wellington, and Raglan:. Mr. MOFFATT acknowledged the compliment on be half of the House of Commons. General WILLIAMS then gave "The Chairman," , who bad so worthily presided over them, and by his rare elo quence thrown a charm over their proceedings. (Cheers.) Sir A. COCKBURN responded. He felt that a military man ought to have occupied the position which he bad so inadequately filled ; but he had regarded the invita tion to take the chair that evening in the light Of a com mand. To have his name associated with a gathering , held to do honsur to so brilliant a star of the epooh as the hero of Kara would be to him a lasting source of gratification. (Hear.) The last toast, "The Vice-Chairmen" (Col. S. Adair, 111. P , and MT. Bass ' M.P.), was propo se d b y M r . W. N. WELSBY, and duly acknowledged, after which the company separated. Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster. • La Patrie of Friday sit ye; :—" If other • accounts from Athens can be relied upon, the editors of the Minerva have been released."
