There were about 500 ladins in the galleries, arid 84 so'- diers' wives in the recesses at the north end of the hall; so that, altogether, including the gentlemen in the gallery at the croupier's end, .e.n,d'tho pupils of the Naval and Military Academy, 'there could not hero been present less then 2,003 persinl. A few minutes after five o'clock, the Lord Provost and Lord Elgin and other distinguished guests entered the hall, and took their places on the platform. The Lord Provost occupied the chair, supported by the Earl of Elgin, Lord Melville, Sir Jo:in ,Major Howie, and Adam Black, M.P. Grace having been said by Dr. Robertson, a vigorous attack on the eatables provided in stantly commenced. , Dinner 'over, the grace said by the Rev. Dr. Guthrie, and the cloth removed; Mr. Sinclair, the master of the ceremonies, proclaimed glom° for the chair, which being obtained, Tho CHAIRVAN then rose and said—Ladies and gentle. men, I beg to propose that we should dedicate this toast to the health of our gracious Sovereign the Queen. The toast-master, in loud and stentorian tones, called upon all to drink the toast with all the honours, and requested the ladies to join in the anthem. The toastmas ter's request was complied with, and the effect was most striking, the entire company joining in chorusing the anthem. The CHAIRMAN again rose and said—l beg to propose that we should now drink to the health of the Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family. • ' The - toast was received very heartily. The Earl of DALKEITH proposed " The Navy, and may may she lees maintaiu the reputation which she held dur ing past ages under the Nelsons, Exmouths, and so many other famous men, and wherever she is called on to do her duty may she never be wanting." (Qheers.) The toast was drunk amid loud cheering. , Captain RAMSAY, R.N., all, returned thanks. Ho said—lt is with great pleasure that, in tho name of the profession to which I belong, I return you my most sin cere thanks for the houour you have conferred on us. We Have no naval Alma, et o naval lukerman, ,to refer to. At the commencement of the war the Russians had a very large fleet, particularly in the Baltic, where they had 30 line-of-battle ships all ready for sea. But.all these vessels wore sailing ships, and they wotild have had no chance against our screw line-of-battle ships, and thereford they remained in their ports. Our only alternative, in these circumstances, would have hem to have entered their ports, and to have engaged them under their batteries. This, however, was not considered either practicable or feasible, and it was not attempted. There was nothing, therefore, left for oar ships' companies to do, except those who happened to be in the Crimea, or who were on the shores of the Black Sea, than to blOokade the ports of our enemies,. to slestroy their harbours and their magazinas, anti to tiara,.s their coasts-. No doubt, allow me to say, there was very much ardour and much anxiety on our part that a more energetic lino of action should have been at tempted. And here allow me to do justice to the gallant men who, at tho commencement of the year 1851, came forward and completed the complement of the fleet then fitting for the Baltic. Many entered as marines and-many as sailors ; and although, at that time, of course, they were ignorant of their profession, yet, when the fleet re turned, I can say, from personal experience, that they were fully proficient, both in their great guns abd small arms. It was Very pleasant to remark that the best uu. derstanding always existed between the army and navy and our gallant allies the French. Peace has now been restored ; but I think ,I may say for the profession to which I have the honour to belong, that both officers and men will endeavour to master their profession thoroughly—for war is a science—aud by so doing, in the event of another war, success will, by the blessing of Providence, attend .them. I have no doubt they will, in those circumstances, meet with the same kind reception which we have received from the inhabitants of your beautiful city. (Cheers.) The LORD'ADVOCATI then rose and said—My Lord Pro vost, I have the honour to ask this great assembly through you to dedicate a bumper to the health of the British Army. (Cheers.) The army, as it was and as it is, in gratitude for the triumphs it has won in times past, and in hope and confidence of what it is able and willing to do, if necessary, in the future. (Cheers.) It has been said, and in ono sense truly said, that we are not and ought not to endeavour to bo a great military power. In one sense that is true. Our rock-bound island, the waves that Wash our shores, and the wooden walls that have been comme morated to-night, have proved, and I doubt not wil prove for ages to come, our sufficient safeguard against all invaders. (Loud cheers.) And social order and property at home are best protected by the contentment, the virtue, the loyalty, the prosperity of a free and enlightened peo ple. But though it may be true that in one sense we may not be what is called a military power, we have been ever, aud I trust will continuo to be, a military people. (Cheers.) We have among ue, as I humbly think, all the best ele ments of a military nation—a people trained to endure hardship —a people whose wind is prone over to ceurt, not to avoid danger—(cheers)—accustomed from youth from the highest to the lowest to all athletic exercises; to every thing that tries the nerve and strengthens the courage, with a stout heart and a strong arm. I know not where the material of soldiers is to be found if not, in our own free and enlightened England. (Cheers.) And then these soldier s, how are they 101 l I certainly wish to say nothing against a system which shall always give true merit, true valour, true superiority its duo place ; but still I trust we elan never see the day when that which has been the strength of tho British army shall ceaso—namely, that the best blood in our old country is shed, and shed freely, in support of her liberties, that best remnant of our feddality and almost the last ;, that the highest and oldest, the most ancestral in the land, deem it a duty and an honour to be foremost in the place of peril, and first among the defenders of their country. (Cheers.) My Lord, of course the British army, like everything else in this free country, is the sub ject of discussion. •We are a free people. We are in the habit cf, and we arc entitled to, think and sneak for our selves, and accordingly it is one of the peculiarities of the British army that their position is liable, like everything else, to be canvassed freely, by all classes. And I quite understand that sometimes a feeling of impatience would -Mita *itijee military mind at finding that, civilians choose to pass judgments, to hold opinions and express them, which they, better informed, may think not worthy of the notice they receive. I say this is one of the results of our free constitution under which we live. The British soldier fights for the freedom of his country. (Cheers.) His strength is in this, that ho knows that his welfare is as dear to the hearts of those that his brave arm defends as their liberties and his profession are to him. We do net fight, our ll army fights not, for the mere renown of military glory. the assurance a Purer 431 people—the ,aioofab eertainty e w ar b t i yze l le h oo a a v e e o r n ef t e h . e r ii a . d brighter feeling that animates it.

(ChOs.) The visco to u a n s t t loud My d Lordanrireroyao•eBdt, cheering. and gentlemen—ln beh a lf o f th a t se rvice to which y lords, have tho honour to belong, mid in the name of the members whom I now see around ne, I beg to return you my sin cere thanks for the complieeut which has been paid to the service, for the manner in vhich that toast was introduced to your notice, and for the complimentary and gratifying manner with which it has been received. I shall not at tempt, in reply, to respondat length to the eloquent ad dress with which the toast vas introduced. Suffise it foe me to say that in the perforns nee of its duties the British ' army has had many calls upon its service, and has ever fully met them. ' Dispersed in every quarter of the globe, called upon as the British soldier into experience the vicissittrles of every climate, and to undergo in the performance of the colonial service a long expatriation, there is no privation, no hardship, and no circumstances in which he is placed in which ho will not he ready and cheerful to perform his duty, as I know from experience. (Cheat s ) I have seen him when iu the moment of pest depression and sickness, as well as in the score exciting momenta of action, equally ready -in the one case showing the greatest moral courage, while in the other he has display cal the valour and the c p o e u r r h a a g p e s i N n V h i the momenti iaf b of dist inguished sickness nes shis c o h u i r m ag ein anala c t indis cipline have been the most tried and marked ; and I have seen him in times the most dangerous observing the most strict discipline; and I have seen him when no ,one knew how soon the unseen enemy- might strike him down,'at- tending his comrades in the most exemplary manner. Nothing ever more pourtrayed to my mind the discipline of the British soldier, end I was never more convinced of this than ou the occasion of the disastrous affair at Kucatchi : in 1846. No man was more satisfied of the courage or the discipline of the British soldier on that occasion than that distinguished officer, the late Sir Charles Napier. I had the honour of serving under him at that moment; and impetuous and gallant as he was' in action, I can testify that he was equally distinguished is times of misfortune' and disease in showing attention 'and kindness to the sol dier, and in looking after the welfare and comfort of his men. (Cheers.) IVe are met this evening in peculiar cir cumstances; and it is gratifying to us to be the guests, and to know how deeply the community at large feel and glory in the success of the British arms, and to see how significantly they have shown the sympathy entertained by them for the sufferings that that army endured under scenes of the greeters% privation and hardship. I trust that on all occasions when the British army are called upon to render service in behalf of their country, whether in times of peace or war, they will be prepared to render them, and that in times of peace as well as of war the British soldier will be ever distinguished for that discipline and order which characterises the performance of his duties in war. We cannot forget that the foundation of the present dis cipline of the British army was, I believe, laid by that great man whose memory will be ever inunortatin the eyes of the British army and British public, and that it was established on the shores of the 1 1 , anomie. The discipline which he then established has been improved, and brousitt to that system of excellence that now pervadeievery roes tuent in the service. Perhaps what was wanting in the late war was, that our regiments should be brought more together, and that officers should have bad more experi ence in moving largo bodies ; lent individually nothing could exceed the discipline which characterised all the regiments Of the service ; and it was a proud thing to kw - my that in that war that was a thing acknowlelgo I by our allies. (ApPlause.) I will not enter into ankthing'con nected with the admirable discipline shown in the per formance of his duties by the British soldier, both in the face of the foe, and in the midst of victories which distin guished his operations in the Crimea. Suffice it for me to add, that, after what we have met with thiS evening, it will bo an additional incentive to our soldiers to perform their duties upon all occasions ; and I trust they will re -11.st 4 . 401 they aorit Uoun4 to upli4l4 their ttnifc!rrn twit honourable bearing, and will b !ilway3 prepared to uphold the constitution and liberties of their country. (Cheers.) Silence was again requested by the toastmaster for the choir. The LORD PROVOST, in an eloquent speech, proposed the toast of the evening, "Our gallant guests." The toast was cordially responded to, Lieut.-Col. lii'Manoss, of tho sth Dragoon Guards, said —Ladies and gentlemen, the reception accorded to us, the way in which we have been feted, might make us almost imagine that we had been the saviours of our country, 'I trust sincerely that.the' Highland regiments, in whatever put of the United Kingdom they may be quartered, may meet with as cordial a reception as we have received from their countrymen in Edinburgh. (Cheers.) I am con fident, ladies and gentlemen, that such will bo the case, for, throughout the length and breadth of theßritishisle, there has been but one feeling of favour towards the British soldier, be ho Scottish, Irish, or Els,lish. From her Majesty to the humblest of her subjects, all classes have vied with each other to show the deepest sympathy with the suffer ings of the army, and joy at 'their successes. And we, in our turn, will be ready, all of us, whether represented by the rose, the shamrock, or the thistle, to fight as long as health and strength last, for such a Qaeen and such a coun try. (Cheers.) Well may Scotland bo proud of the men she sent forth to the war, for it must be admitted by all that, at the commencement of the war, during its continu ance, and at its close, the Highland Division, under their glorious chieftain; Sir Colin Campbell—(cheers)—exhibited as fine a mold of military excellence as ever the British army could produce. Gentlemen, during that desperate struggle which has just terminated, of course there must have been many acts of consummate bravery performed. When we bear and read of such men as Williams of Kars, and Wyndham of the Rattan, disclaiming the glories of heroism, it is a lesson to us to be careful how we apply that character, and not to apply it on light grounds. But there is one connected with the war, and associated with the sth Dragoon Guards, which I cannot help introducing to your notice at the present moment. I allude to that of Sir James Searlett. (Cheers.) It is well known to all of you here how nobly he led the heavy cavalry brigade at Balaklava. That distinguished ()Meer commanded the regiment for many years, indeed, up to the breaking out of the war. Ho gloried in the regiment as the regiment gloried in him, and I hope I may be pardoned for borrow ir g•lustro for my corps from so bright an ornament of the profession. Far be it from me to wish for war, but if another occasion should arise I trust the 51.11 Dragoon Guards will always be found where the enemies of England are to be enevuntered, and that I, or whoever may be at the head of the regiment, will follow the brilliant example of Sir James Searlett, and. that you will repeat a similar re ward to that which you have so bountifully accorded us this evening. (Cheers.) I song to the popular tune et the " Red, White, and Blue," entitled " The Hero's Welcome," written by Mr. Alexander M.`Laggan, was then sung by Air. Josephs, of the Qtteen's Theatre, and the choir. Wo subjoin one of she three verses of the song : " Let us welcotne the brave ! let us cherish Their fame, and the triumph we feel ! While tyrants and tyranny perish In the dash of their conquering steel ! Let us Wit them how faithful we found them, How they kept the proud promise they gave ! When honour and glory have crowned them, 'Let Scotland hero welcome the brave ! Let Scotland hero welcome the brave ! Let Scotland here welcome the brave ! When honour and glory have crowned them, Let Scotlaud hero welcome the bravo I Colonel KELLY, of the 34th Regiment, expressed the sincere thanks of that regiment. lie said, " I can only say that I know every man of the regiment was ready to do his part to bear the sufferings of the camp, and do Lis duty when called upon." (Cheers.) Captain HALL, R.N., also returned thades, I feel highly honoured in being invited to this banquet, and to be connected with those who came frees the Crimea, that th e navy had riot the - As au old sailor I am sorry portunity, like our gallant soldiers, to thrash the Russians. I can particularly speak of the ardour which was felt by the sailors iu the Baltic ; they were burning to get at them, but they would not come out. Wh en our sailors had. the opportunity, as at &knees, Boreemna, and Swea berg, they did their duty aLtl upheld the honour of their country. (Cheers.) The gallant gentleman then alluded to the Sailors Domes, and stated that it gave hint much gratification to think that they were extending over all parts of the country. Ho also briefly refrerod to the Chinese war, and to the services which he was able, in the Nemesis, to render to the Military operations at that time by landing troops. The resnit of that war was, that five ports were opened; not alone to England, hut to the world, and that the Chinese were made, what he wished th.: Russians had been else made to do—to pay the ex penses of the war. (Laughter and cheers.) If the fleet were ever called on at any future time to meet the enemy, of this ho was certain that the sailors would be ready to do their duty. (Cheers.) The Earl of ELGIN then rose. My Lord and Gentle men, we have been toasting our gallant guests, and join ing with cordial enthusiasm in that list of toasts, which is'uever omitted when the loyal subjects of her Maiesty, whether in or out of uriiform, meet together for festive parposes. I think I am justified ie thinking that the toast which I have now the honour to propose, will from henceforth bold a prominent place in the Let of our es tablished toasts. (Applause.) Gentlemen, you know well that there have been times in ttke history of, our country I when there could ha're been no room for such 4 toast--- that there were times when the British soldier and the t. British :sailor had to s t a ndalone amid a world in arms. And right nobly, e ven under such circu mstances, and against such odds- .right nobly have the y fulfilled, and always justified, the confidence repo sed in them by their sovereign and their country. (App lause.) These days are past and gone—past and gone , we trust, never to re th h fought field of Inkerman, a covenant of friendship, which, gallant (t on armies the hei t sFranceof Alma, the e sealed add with . urn please God, will always endure. (Renewed cheers.) Never shall we cease to remember with a dmiration the valour with which our faithfulallies, the Turks, encountered their foes on the banks of the Danube, or in the well appro ved fortresses of Silistria and Kars-(cheers) —and the chivalry, whic'e we cannot forget, with which the high-epirited monarch and people of Sardinia came forward to our sup port, at a time when the fortunes of war seemed- but only seemed—trembling in the balance. I shan't say a word more on this subject; I shall only add an earnest hope that I do trust peace, based on manifold interests, com• mercial, mercantile, and progressive, will rivet yet more securely the bands of amity which have been forged in common dangers, and in actual service in the battle-field. At any rate the Mar has taught this one lesson—it has taught ue that there is no more pestilent fallacy, no more ,arrant humbug than that which calls us natural enemies. Lot the peace also teach us the lesson that God and nature tells us, that nations should live toge,ther in amity, and employ their energies iu promoting the good of humanity, and securing those blessings which a bounteous Providence has spread around them. (Cheers ) The eoble earl con cluded by proposing a bumper to our gallant allies. The toast was drunk with groat enthusiasm. M. BRUANT briefly responded in French, on the part of his country. Major NOURI, in name of the Tarkish nation, and of his sovereign the Sultan returned thanks: He expressed the gratitude which he felt towards those who had assisted in asserting the independence of, his native country, and hoped that the peace would beef permanent duration. The DEAN of FACULTY proposed " The memory of those who fell during the late war." (The toast was drunk in solemn silence.) Sir JOHN M'NEILL, who was received with loud ap plause, in proposing " Miss Florence Nightingale," spoke as follows :—What has been said of the conduct in action of all arms of the service is not mot e than they dearve. The British soldier has long been the most formidable in battle of all the soldiers of Europe. On a fair field, with equal forces, he has not hitherto encountered any enemy whom he could not beat. (Cheers.) But, if we would justly esti mate our special obligations to the men who fought for the freedom of Europe in the Crimea, we must look not only to what they have achieved, but also to what they have endured—not only to their conduct in action with the enemy, but also to their bearing under tire pressure of pri vations and sufferings such as, perhaps, no otherlictorious army has undergone, and which are far more trying to the fortitude of brave urea than the dangers of actual combat. (Applause.) In the chill rains of December and the bitter cold of January, when his strength was sink ing from privation and _fatigue and the enervating dis eases that follow in their train, under which his comrades were falling like leaves in autumn, he preserved unimpaired the honourable pride of a British soldier in the midst of all his sufferengs. As long as enfeebled Hints would carry him he staggered down through miry ravines to trenches ankle-deep in mud, or struggled up to his picquet on some expotod height. (Applause.) He was determined to do his duty whatever might betide. He knew that the honour of her Majesty's arms and the glory of his native country wore entrusted to his keeping—he never lost heart—he never yielded au inch of ground, and not a murmur ever escaped his lips.' (Cheers.) This, to my mind, is proof of a loftier heroism than even that which was displayed in the devoted gallantry of Alma, Balaklava, or Inkermann. (Renewal cheering). What those evils were which, in a climate now found to be as healthy as that of England, de stroyed in six months, by . disease alone, half the infantry engaged in the siege of Sebastopol—independent of all who were killed in action or died of their wounds—l need not and will not recount. All men are liable to err—most of all those whose minds aro so constituted that they can not recognise errors even after they have Been their re sults.—(Hear and cheers) i—and to say that errors were not committed in the Crimea would be to assert what in the nature of things cannot be true.' (Cheers.) Ever one who is called on to deal with these matters is bound, I think, to remember that the lessons taught by experience to nations as well as to individuals, consist chiefly in point ingeut errors, not always foreseen, but often revealed by their results, which are to be avoided in future ; and that to deny or conceal their occurrence prevents the adoption of precautions against their repetition, and thus deprives the nation of the advantages to be derived from experience purchased, in this instance, at a lamentable price. (Applause.) If I could have accused myself of pursuing that course, I should feel that I had be tra y ed a p ublic trust, and done a wrong to my country. (Loud applause.) Had the Government intended the inquiry in the Crimea to be a shoat they would have selected fit instruments for that purpose—(applause)-but for any other than an honest purpose they sent out the wrong men. (Great cheering.) Reports more honest, and in all essential particulars more faithful, or founded upon a greeter amount of trastwortliy and concurrent testimony thaßthe two reports which, on behalf of my colleague and myself, I put into the hands of be., eseee.a....„-e teeee for *ar, and which he thought proper to lay before Parliament and the public, were never, I believe, presented to any minister, and nothing that has since occurred has in any deg ree shaken my confidence, or, I believe, the confidence of the country, in the diligence, fairness, and fidelity with which the inquiry entrusted to my guidance was conducted, the evidence recorded, and the result stated. (Cheers.) Of all the duties which a nation owes to its soldiers, none is more obviously demanded by justice, humanity, sound policy, and even by economy, than the duty of providing for them when struck down by wounds, or by sickness contracted in the performance of their duty, all the care, kindness, and comfort, as we 11 as the skilful treatment which their situation then requires, end which may contribute to restore them to health and efficiency. (Cheers.) But for some time dur ing the late war, whatever were the soldier's sufferings in amp, they Were little mitigated by his removal to hos pital.,however slful and assiduous the medical officers might have been.. The truth is, that the system upon which our military hoe, were conducted, especially in the field, appears to be enttiquated and defective. Every one knows the public serv;:•es of Florence Nightingale, but those only who have had the honour of meeting her can feminineknow the refinement and trul y . delicacy of her mind and manners, or th e unconsciensness of having done anything great or remarkable, that pervades her whole deportment and conversation. Far front elwelling upon the past, or taking any pride in the applause which has followed her unsought, the whole erergies of her -powerful I highly cultivated, and essentially practical intelleci e are already directed towards further and more permaneot plans of usefulness. Truly pious, aus 4 . thoroughly Broths tiant in her sentiments, her attachment to the Church of England is fres from any tincture of sectarian bitterness. (Cheers.) She has not so read her Bible as to believe that it inculcates ill-will towards any class of God's creatures. Ready to extend her assistance to the sick and wounded of all persuasions without distinction, she has freely availed herself of the assistance of alr. Holding fast her own principles with the firm composure of a strong mind and a settled conviction, also avoids alike the extremes of High Murch and how Church, and hears without resent ment the extravagant and contradictory absurdities that aro circulated in regaill to her opinions. She appears to be too intent ripen doing the good which it may be per. mitred her to do in the walk she has chosen, to care for either the evil or the good that is epokera of her—otherwise than as it may affect her usefulness. It is not frern us, and it is not here that she seeks praises r reward. But I should be acting little in accord ance with leer practice if, in speaking of the services r endered to our rick and wounded, I omitted to direct pout attention to tiee obli- ' gations which she and all of use ottas to the ladica essno shared her pious labours--and I may be permitted with out disparagement to others, to remind you that some of the meat prominent were our own country women. 31153 haw Stewart had charge of the nurses in the general hospital at Balaklava ; Mrs. Mackenzie, and after her Miss Ereisiue, In the naval hospital at Therapia. The first 'a member of leading . family aniongt our un titled aristocracy ; the second, diseehter of one of the fore most men of our generation—tied late Dr. Chalmers. (Loud cheers.) The third, daughter or." the accomplished historian of the Mahometan conquest of Indja, and grand daughter of the lato Sir James Mackintosii. And there were other Scottish ladies in less prominent Our country, therefore, was worthily represented La the hospitals of the East. (Cheers.) Let us hope that eee. moral and material improvements -the higher standard of feeling and of comfort which the wise benevolence and patriotism of Miss Nightingale, and the ladies who aided her efforts, have introduced into our military hospitals will not bo permitted to pass away with the occashrit which gave rise to thorn. And, now, let me propose to You the toast which has been entrusted to me, " Florence Nightingale." The following song, by Mr. James Ballantine, entitled , "The Shadow, on the Pillow," founded on an incident related by Sir John M'Neill, was then sung : Borne helpless from the field of fight, Hewn deep with wounds and sears, I prayed—" Heaven come and help the right, And end the cruel wars." I swooned, I dreamt an angel band Bore me o'er ocean billow ; I woke, and lo ! an angel hand Was smoothing down my pillow. Was eusoothingdown my pillow: 'Twlxt death and life,.through day and night, lily wounds unconscious kept me, Of all ) except these oyes so b ri g ht That kindly watched and wept me.

Mr. Coware, M,P , proposed the health of the Loid Provost, The LO RD - ROVOST briefly replied, • The Rev, Dr. GUTVRIE, proposed the next toast-a" The Chaplains and Surgeons employed hi the late war." 'The toast was suitably acknowledged. "Auld Lang Syne " was then sung by the company standing, and the signal to retire having been sounded 1)3 , the buglers, the vast ;all 'was gradually cleared of its nu merous occupants. The proceedings terminated a few minutes before ten THE LATE PIRACY AND MURDERS ON BOARD THE GLOBE —The barque Globe, Captain John Scotland, is reported ag having arrived in the river, and it is exp tc t e d that the master will be enabled to attend to-morrow as the prinrzipal witness against the prisoners. A marine artilleryman ba. also arrived, belonging to her Majesty's ship Recrrit, who captured one of the prieenere, and rho will identify hint. On Wednesday night the session of the Falkirk School of Arts was opened by an address from the Lord A d vo• care. Wilson's Assembly Romig, where the lectures io connexion with the School of Arts are usually delivered, seas found much too small for the occesian, so that his ordship deli vered his address it: the Independent chapel. Upwards of 1,000 persons weee present. The choir was taken at a quarter-past eight o'clock by Provost Adam, who introduced the Lord Advocate in an appropriate speech. The LORD ADVOCATE cattle forward amid loud ap plause. lie said :----Ladies and gentlemen .1 have to thank you very heartily for your kind reception this night, as also ler the very pleasant trraie in which my worthy friend the Provost has been kind enough to in troduce me to your notice. I accepted your invitation with the greateet possible pleasure. I should have felt it a gratificath n and an honour to be asked to address a school of arts in any circumstances ; but looking at this institutirn as one of the very foremost i n th e race of knowledge And progress which has been goingon with such speed for the past 20 years, and considering that it dates as far back as 29 years ago, I assure you it is with the greatest possible pleasure I have obeyed your stimzuons 00 t hie occasion. Twenty-nine years ago is a long time. Many things have been accomplished since then ; great progress has been made ; great ends have been gained; great abuses have been removed, and the prospect of great advancement has been opened up, I believe by no influence mere powerful than by such in stitutions as the present. Twenty-nine years ago there was no such influence as this existing in the country; 29 years ago people were not agreed as to whether lest ittei tions of this kind were really useful or unattended with danger. lam happy to think that, after the lapse of 29 years, there exists no doubt at all on such a subject iu any quarter whatever. I know of no influence, indeed, which is productive of more beneficial effects. Whatever furnishes a change from the ordinary routine of daily la bour must not only be wholesome, but absolutely neces sary, inasmuch as it is the great civiliser and sweetener of ordinary life. It does not signify much what are the topics which are treated of, so as they are useful, or at all events, harmless. Change of view, or of scene, or of thought, is the true secret of usefulness in such institu• tions. That which is work to one may be play to another; that which invelves labour to one may he pastime to his neighbour. The philosopher may seek amusement is poetry, while the poet takes refuge in phileophy. A man cannot remain long concentrated in one occupation. The spring of his mind will cease unless it is at times allowed its natural repose. Accordingly, I have no sympathy with people who indulge in minute criticism as to what are the particular subjects which occupy such evenings as this. It signifies but little to my mind what these sub jects, so iis they are harmless— " Many a shaft at random sent Finds mark the archer never meant." Many a hint, or suggestion, or train of thought arises in what is spoken in such meetings as this, so that they may not unfrequently lead to the greatest possible result-. if men are set to think on subjects of moment and worth, I believe that the seed thus sown often leads to the richest harvest. I have made these remarks in introduction merely to assure you that I am proud to open the 29th anniversary of the Falkirk School of Arts. I have stayed three months in the neighbourhood of Falkirk with very great pleasure and interest indeed. I know no part of the country so replete with interesting associations. Almost every rood of ground in the vicinity brings up some his torical recollection, or gives rise to some patriotic though.. Wherever you look, and whatever period of time in the history of our country you contemplate, it is impossible not to be impressed with the interest with which the scenes all around you are clothed. The wall of Severus—the wall which the Romans raised as a rampart against the inhabitants of this country—the wall which was raised as a mark and limit by which Caledonian valour was to be held in check, runs within a mile of the place I speak in. Behind the house in which I live is the height whence the great Oe.etti.h hero surveyed the disastrous issue of the battle of Falkirk. Stirling, on the west, saw James 111. go forth to the battle against one of his rebellious sons from which he was not destined to return ; and Linlith gow, on th e east, saw that rebellious son march forth to Flodden, leaving his Queen Margaret in that ancient palace to weep tLe weary day, but never to see her Royal husband return from that disastrous field. You have the magic spell which lies in the name "Bannock burn" close at hand. On the Campsie Bills your fore fathers fought for the faith to which they were attach, d, and that region is rich in reminiscences of the most interesting peyeed of Scottish history. Close by your door was shed the last gleam of victory which visited the ill-fated Pretender. These make the ground classic and historical. lam glad to think that from the battle of Falkirk neither you nor your forefathers have ever heard the clang of civil war. These lanes, which were then, or not long before, forests and morasses, have been transformed, by the industry and intelligence of your farmers into fertile soil, showing what man can produce. Close by you have an exten sive iron-producing district ; but if the material is net altegether forged for peaceful pursuits, the existence of ruur extensive itonworks at leant bespeaks peace and prosperity for the country. Such are the changes which occurred in thet period of time ; and, looking around, and thinking of all these grand and ennobling associa tions which encircle the spot, I naturally fell into a trait of reflection upon the spirit of nationality. Arid upon that subject I propose to make a few observations. (Cheers ) The subject which I propose not so much to illustrate as to keep in view is that spirit by which a nation pr serves a sense of self-respect, and is very far removed from mere provincialism. This is the principle which I mean to represent in what will be a brief retrospect of the history of our country. There ,ire men who hold that the spirit of nationality must be provincialism—that it is a foolish and merely romantic idea. I think those who argue so argue very etre neously. The truth is that the spirit of nationality, see epirii; of national ardour and honour, the sense o f pride in the past history of a country, felt by it; peop.lo, lies at the very root and foundation of national groteese. A conquered country hardly ever grows greet. The conquest of England by the Normans was not o conquest in the pepper sense of the word, because the native Saxons engrafteo' upon the in vaders their own laws, t:.teir own language:• and their own constitution. If we lock elsewhere, we s:" many illustrations of the fact that a conquered country is . not a country from which great prosperity can be expected. I to not go back to Greece ; I need not refer to Poland )' but look to British India. There you have a country — governed no doubt by laws a s ju st as, I he. e e v i e u , nt in r )t"h the c irenmstances, can possibly he applied to sr o, an empire- —of vast extent and resou rces ; but, in vain for such a thing as t he true alas we there look . We see extensive plains, vast spring of national vigour. : ed towns —everything, in rivers, and densely papula shirt, which sh ould make a p. --oeperous community ; co ale bee still to be aroused. I cross the (Jean. lint the rpirit o f the p p fear, w re n if we look at our neighbours s; eel, and ask w hat it is that has been the .bane of that beautiful and fertile country, Ireland, the rese l 3 7 must be, that there exist there two separate races, the go verning and the governed. It was this that made go much contention and heartburning for so many years— the pride, on tbeWne hand, of those who thought them selves tlie'dbminanf reety ; and, on the other band, the mortified self-pride of those who thought themselves con quered and kept down. I hope a better day is in store for Ireland. 1 believe the prospect of better things is on the horizon. The coutentiotie of the two races bast , cased, and they ate beginning to turn their eyes to better thinge.

(Loud cheers.) I now proceed, however, to make a few remarks on tho national character, position, and history of Scotland. I will not inflict any elaborate or detailed account upon you ; and I hope you do not look forward to anything so portentous, or to more than a selection from and rapid sketch of the more salient points in our history,—with ' a reasonable pride of its annals, hut with the wish to be open to a recognition of the faults tied failings to which a nation is liable, so that we may go forward with heart and strength, determined to hold by those qualities and associations which made our ancestors great and laid the foundation of our prosperity-. History, as it is generally written, le the his:ory of wars, fends, and contendinge of princes. People write history about chieftains and generals and kings ; but there is one part of it which most historians almost entirely forget. These warriors and monarchs are no doubt part of a nation, but they are by no means the greatest part of it. I should like to see written for Scotland what does not exist at preeent, a full account of how our forefethcrs lived, what they did, how they spent the day, how their domestic life went on, what were their ordinary habits, how they travelled, what were their means of conveyance—in short, to find out the pro . cess, to develope the progress, of the thought and acti vity and feeling by which we have been gradually mould( d into the community that we are now. What in Scotland is still to me an interesting question is, now that its his t )ry presents this remarkable and singular phenomenon, that you, rarely, up to the Reformation, find the smaller t trace of the Commons. All history up to that time consist I of the struggles of priests and kings and nobles ; and at the moment of the Reformation you find a public opi nion instantly starting into vitality and force. You find the commoners of Scotland strong, intelligent, deter. mined, resolved, and from that time till now they have held a foremost place among the communities of Europe. What were they doing before, in the long interval dur ing which we have no account of them' How did this great change come about! There are two elements in the history of Scotland to which the historians of Scotland have not paid as much attention as they deserved. The first is the French alliance. We gained a great deal from it during the reign of the Stuarts, and we gained, among other things, much advancement in literature, in the fine art', in sculpture, and in architecture, which I rather think we have not improved on since. In learning, for instance, if we take the period immediately preceding the Reformation, I doubt if we have been able since to show scholars like those who then flourished. I find in a book which is not very generally read, and which is written in Latin, but which I will read in English, a curious and interesting account of Scotlatd, as it was in 15S0, that is before the union of the Crones during the reign of James I. The writer says that Scot land is very like France, except in regard to the ferti lity of the soil. The prominent characteristic of the people is described as being that they set great store by their ancestors ; and much, of course, is said of thole) Seotehmen who travelled over Europe, without a penny in their purse, but boasting of the long line of ancestors from which they were descended. It was natural enough , in a country more fertile in men than in food, that teeny men of the most renown should be exceedingly poor. But, he says, this people, who go over the earth seeking riches and exciting laughter by trumpeting forth the praises of their poor gentry, are still noted for their fide• lity and industry. He goes on to describe our country men in much more pleasant terns than when delineating the mirth of the audiences to whom they deecibed their ancestry. After describing what cannot be passed over, the feature of furious feuds and private revenge for in sults, be concludes his observation upon Scotland by says ing that, to whatever study they incline their minds, they do so with signal success. Nowhere is there to be found a greater endurance iu the camp or courago in the field ; nowhere are the Muses more delicately treated ; and nowhere is ingenuity and industry adapted wi h greater readiness to the requirements of society than among Scotchmen. Even in civil matters they arc greatly in advance. They can adapt their indus try to every possible vicissitude of life. Such was the cha racter of Scotchinen at that period. The writer from whom I quote was of Scotch family, however, though he was of French parentage and birth. There is another source from which information may be obtained as to this period. The writer of a French dictionary, with which no doubt you are acquainted, mentions the name of one of Scotland's brightest ornaments, a man too little known and respected, George Buchanan. In "Bayle's Dictionary' he is mentioned as one of the greatest men of his time, as having arrived at a pitch of classical learning which no man had ever arrived at before. To him I think this country owes a debt which, as I have stated, has been but scantily honoured. He lived just before the Reforma- tion ; he was the tutor of James VI., and, if his Royal pupil had attended more to the lessons which be gave, in all probability the fate of this country and of that family would have been more happy. George Buchanan was a native of Lennox ; ho was one of yourselves. He was a Stirlingshire man, or, at least, was born on its bordere. His father, a poor farmer, died in very indigent circum stances when he was young. George Buchanan was one of several eons, and his mother did the best she could to educate them. When 14 years of age he was sent over to France by an uncle, and there he studied for two years. He then went to Portugal, and shortly after he returned to his native land ; but by that time he bad made himself the most accomplished scholar in Europe. He was the only man in that day, or since, who was able to write Latin as if he had been a Roman. His talents in other respects were wonderful. Butitwasnot because Buchanan and was thus able to t thuardnwl:isuadtetrefnutliornestooulricteesraitnurmeoannedy ;tudy , on the continent,hat he became what h e was. Two thin g s contributed to the result. There was, first, the string desire in him for learning, and in the second place, the communication be tween this country and France, without which lie wuuld not have obtained such eminence. I have mentioned the case of George Buchanan because it throws a light on the social state of Scotland at that tune. I think we have no such scholars now as he was, or his contempt . raries. In the succeeding age Andrew Melville was a man of the same class ; and there were others whom I could mention who were celebrated throughout Europe. It seems to have contributed largely to the improve ment of the Scottish mind, this communication with the continent, which, whatever effect it had upon politics — and it had not a good effect—raised Scottish scholars to a position which they do not new occupy. In the cen• tury following that of George Buchanan they were much lower than they were before. [Here the Lord•Advocat referred to the affecting close of Buchanan's career ,:ird. to the excessive poverty in which, although th r e ,:neipal of a College, he died.] But (be co ntinued) poor as Scotland was, she was not too Ivor t o pre duce eu ,e,n of the greatest mental power.
