The Conimittee of the Bengalla„ Chamber of Comm erce a dd resse d th e G overnmen t o f —. 4 lfal on the subject on the 27th of March, 1853, pointing °, l •t the L 1 d ifficult and dangerous state of the navigation of t ile tend ßiver Fr er —° °guiY,which threatens at no distant period to Veal-a Rec ess to es the Port of Calcutta altogether imprac ia-,e for anysels but those of the smallest twi get," and calling a tt en ti on to the pract i ca bili ty o f open- Mutlaahtwa co mmunication to the sea by means of the river, the Committee proceed to state, " the i f i n o trance of which is about 50 miles to the eastward of the 4..2gb1Y, and to b e approached from the sea without any ma rm.l difficulties of navigation. At the distance of 23 miles Irorn its mouth it has a good sheltered anchorage for vessels of the la rgest b urthen. Its tides never run more than t hree to four miles an hour, and.the flood-tide is never accom panied by a bore. It has in the shallowest part three and a half fathoms of water at the lowest side, and in many places ts d epth varies f rom s i x to nine throughout its course from the sea to within 25 miles of Calcutta, thus offering facilities kfoog navi gation superior t o th ose th a t ever existed in the y . a :The hi answer to thi s app li cat i on was the a v ppointment by the ernraent of Be nga l of a Committee to report on the state of the Hooghl y ; an order to Lieut.

The Report of the Hooghly Committee states " that the River Hooghly has d e,teriorated up to the present time ; that that 4 e t er i ont ti ou has been gradual, and caused by the shoaling and contraction et its deep channels from accumulations of silt, and, that, nn dtr the p resen t con diti on o f th e r i ver, th e deterioratio , n , will b L e Progressive."' Lieut. Ward reports that he found the Mu 44 h had not changed since the last survey in 1839 ; that the least water in the channel is four fathoms at low-water spring tid es (with a r i se o f f ourteen f eet, wh i ch wou ld g i ve 38 f ee t, a t k a igh la w rg a e t s e t r) t , o a n n n (! g t e hat there is nothing to prevent vessels of proceeding up the river at a 1 times." Col. 13aker'a reply is of an equally satisfactory character. The fol io w ing extracts from his official report, dated Aug 26, will show the entire absence of engineering difficulties :—" I have t i n e t 13; h personal examin a ti on as th e season a d m itt e d o f th e lying between Calcutta and the head of the Mutlah River, a n d have satisfied myself of the- pprfect practicability of establishing a communication between these two points by means either of a railway or a ship canal."

The opinion of the local Government may be inferred from the fact that it has just raided on the site for the railway terminus and public build .ags• ~,eiis no exaggeration to say that the traffic upon the first Llen of the Calcutta aud South-Eastern line will be far be ,,,nd that of any yet contemplated for India. Independently lq_the trade which must of necessity follow the opening of the m u a tlah as the Port of Calcutta, with its enormous imports " ePorts, exceeding four millions of tons per annum, there the great and increasino• trade going on between Calcutta and Eastern Districts ' which passes through the head of the th at , l ab, at all seasons, en route to Caloutta ; while, duri n g dry season, or for seven months of the year, when the rNaddea rivers are impassable, the whole of the goods for ex tation from Calcutta come that way. Whether, therefore, llutiah had been adopted as a port or not, a Railroad in being directi on was urgently wanted, and could not fail of vel a& of the most remunerative character. -The capital necessary for making a double line of Railway t "rn Calcutta to the site on the M u tl a h chosen for the public Vlildings of the Port is estimated by Colonel Baker, in his 41•,, C,port to tbo authorities already alluded to at ' C. Rs. 05 64,141, or equal to, about 556,4941., upon which sum that officer calculates there would be a return to the shareholders °tee:per cent. Colonel Baker also estimates the dividend enthe capital to be expended on the Docks at 10 per The return from the Railway is calculated upon rhe .trade only to be looked for from tho Mutlah as a t, and • i n d ependently of the ordinary traffic from Zhae eastern districts of Calcutta already alluded to, ieh, accordi ng to official returns, is set down as equal , -one million and a half o f t ons per annum. T ak i ng ale, latter into account, a divid en d o f 15 per cen t. on the Abele capital may be confidently reckoned upon. aThe Indian authorities in this country have been comma• oa ted with:and the Di rec t ors rely with confidence on the ab,Pport of th e H ome Government, and that every assistance ly can desire w ill b e most l ib erally granted by the Honour ble Court of Directors of the East India Company, including t ile free gift of all the land required for the construction of the first section of th e works, as also the use of Col. Baker's purveys, the possession of which will enable the Directors to commence the works at once, and without the heavy expense an d great delay which are Usually entailed upon undertakings er this description: It having been intimated t o th e Directors in the course of th eir communications with th e authorities, that the East In gle. Company would not at present grant any further guaran heti of interest to new railway undertakings in India, the Di rectors have refrained from soliciting a guarantee. Theyfelt, laeWever that the prosecution of an undertaking of such ack nowledged public utility and importance as this, de la,anded alike by all classes of the community, ought not on teat account to be postponed. Looking to t' e reception it has already met with from the hands of the Government, its i ß ,l e at national importauce, and the strong expression of feel- Th "'g en the subject displayed by the Bengal Chamber of Com -eree, coupled with the interest evinced by the late Go 'tenor General of India, the Marquis of Dalhousie, and the t ee rtainty of success as a commercial operation, the Directors d -eeLassured that, should the East India Company be 'e &rant further guarantees of interest, this Company re. the same f avoura bl e cons id era ti on as those railway e°la Pauies which have been already sanctioned. 00tUn,til a single lino of rail from .

The growing taste for musical performances of a high order and upon an extensive scale rendered it necessary that sown suitable provision should be made at the West End of London for such entertainments. since been supplied While this acknowledged want has long in Liverpool, Birmingham, and other provincial cities, the metropolis remains singularly dencient in proper accommoda tion for such per:ormances—possersing, in fact, no build ing well adapted to the purpose. Ezatsr Hall not having been originally intended for concerts or similar performances, its architec;; - aral proportions are ill suited for musical effects ; it is deficiert in `aellities of ingress and egress, and the regu lations o 7 those entrusted with the management preclude the per:on:ranee of come of tl2e 11:3belt, works o: art. The pro posed building will be expressly designed with a view to aid the effect of instrumental and choral performances, tither singly or in their various combinatiors, and the facilities of approach and exit will be amply provided for. There is aleo a great demand for Halls of a similar descrip tion in a locality easily acce-sible and convenient for the ariL tocracy. TVs requirement is evidenced by the large amount of public patronage bestowed upon the Egyptian Hall, Picca dilly, and the Gallery of Itlustrstion in Regent•street. The promoters ol' the present scheme propose to erect a Grand Hall, IS4 feet by 60, and 60 feet in height, and two minor Halls, ore 60 feet by 18, and the other 48 feet by 10, and 23 feel in height. A site peculiarly eligible for the purpose has been secured, which will be held an lease direct f.:om 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- The site in queltion affords ample space for all the appli ances necessary to render the Halls complete in every respect. In addition 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 prolierty 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 iito a Restaurant of the first class, adjoining and communi cating with the Concert Rooms. Refreshment.; 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. Carefully and well-matured plans and calculations have been made of the expense of the necessary accommodation, and the probable revenue to be derived therefrom, and the subjoined statement is submitted with confidence, as a fair and moderate calculation of the probable financial results. The Company will be formed under the Act of Parliament oF last session, which limits the liability of each shareholder to the amount of his subscription, so that no possible risk or danger can be incurred by the shareh o ld ers . Adeposit of 10s. per share upon the number of shares ap plied for must be made with the Bankers of the Company, for which a voucher will be given, and which will be returned iu full in case no allotment of shares shall be made.

STAMPED SD• received abundant marks of honour and consideration from my Sovereign, and of affection and regard from the people of England. I have enjoyed the hospitality of my brethren in arms in military clubs. have-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 eatisfaction—(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 most happy to respond. I have on former occasions expressed, and I cannot too frequently repeat, my grateful sense of tbo manner in which my gallant comrades stood by me —of not only their great courage, for that I expectsd from them, but of their great abilities ; and if with such I had not performed the.part which fell to my lot I should have come far short of thejust. aeticipatiens cf those who intrusted me with their cenfidence. The Turkish force which acted under me in Asia" Minor un derwent all the ptivations 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 the 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' tiot be aware. On my return from Tiflis over the Caucasus:l met Gene ral Mouravieff at Stavropol, and almost the last thing he told me was that after he entered Kars in one house he found net less than 10 csrpser of these heroic m en , who, too proud to ask for that bread of whisk klaey knew my own garrison and the vrotpen 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 General Mouravieff, further ob served that he found in many houses one, and in others two bodies of persons who shared a eimilar 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 which she ought to be. (Hear, hear) 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, bear.) 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 Erzeroum a serious rising of the population took place, not against the Christians, but against a certain sect of Mattometane, 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 crowde-- the ambassador 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 my representations to the central Go vernment, bodies of troops, no less than five months after, were marched into the disaffected pars 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 circurnstanLe 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 1.4,V 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 have 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 any constituents, so 1 will tell you, that I enter the .Hou e of Commons solely that I may on fitting occasions offer to the country my cpi• liens on military matters, with which I have, perhaps, some acquaintance, and also on the affairs of the East. On these two questions, aed on no others, do I take my - seat. It is quite impossible that a man who 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, bear)—and, moreover, as I stated to my constituente lam wholly untinged 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 Englsed with a certain degree of respect and —perhaps I may presume to add—affection—(hear, bear)—arid the expression of my convictions at suitable opportunities may be of some little service, (Cheers.) At the same time I fee! equally confident that if I venture to dabble in things which I don't understand—if I once attempt to go beyond nay depths, that instant I shall forfeit all the influence I have acquired. (Hear, bear.) As your excellent chairman ob served; we have now reached the termination of a glori ous war. If you had been in Russia, and had heard, as I have done, the sentiments uttered by our late antago eists, you would have no room to doubt that for us the conflict was a glorious one, and the peace equally so. (Hear, hear.) You know how we began this struggle. We did Eo—as I has ept eviously said—wi: lout 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 Sweden—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 instrucse five 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 tbo hope that the improvements which the distinguished Prince I have named di-covered 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 from 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 C:ub will lend their aid 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 eikkaer speech. (No, no) Allow me,- therefore, only to add that"' thank the chairman most sincereiy for the very eloquent and too flattering terms in which he has introduced my name, and this% company for the very handsome manner iii which they have received it. (Loud and prolonged .; cheering.) • Colonel S. AD AIR, M.P., said he had to propose a toast without which the proceedings of that eveniit. would be incomplete. They had all heard Sir W e -F. Williams, in language wh 4e, became the brave leader at e brave men, exprees th e hi g h a d m i rat i on in wh i ch he he ir the gallant men who had paiticipated in his achiev meets and his glory ; and they knew the generous s timents which actuated him to be such that lie insist() that in any honours paid to himself his brother officers' should receive a share. (Hear, ihar.) The annals of the British army abounded in brilliant examples of he roic bravery aid fortitude, but were is ri tribed with um • more glorious than those of Silistria and Kars. H e h a d therefore much pleasure in inviting them to drink with all the honours, " the health of Colonel Lake, Colonel Teesdale, Dr. Sandwith, Mr. Churchill, ani Mr. Red house, comrades of General Williams in tee defence of Kari." (Loud cheers.) Col. LAKE, in acknowledging the compliment, re marked that, however undeserved he and Lis compa nions in arms felt the eulogiums passed upon them to be, it was gratifying to them to know that their poor endeavours to do their duty were appreciated 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 raid that the task had been intrusted to him of calling them away from the tones of triumph in w hi c h th ey ha heretofore been in dulging to listen to a sadder strain, and one akin to the solemn 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 fill at Kars. • (Hear, hear.) That theme would not be as um ! 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 pay ieg a tribute to the brave departed who had fallen in the discharge of their duty. They could not but think of t he hopes of renown which must, in some degree have cheered on those gallant spirits in their heroic efforts, far who could forget the memorable saying of Nelson, "The peerage, o r W es t m i ns t er 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 beet of all national treasure", the inviting ex amples of a country's bravest sons, it might be truly said of them that— " Ev'a in theli ashes live their wonted fires."

On Saturday evening the members of the Reform Club gave a grand banquet in honour of the hero of Kars. Every preparation had been made to give due éclat to the occasion. The exterior of the club was briLiantly illu minated, the word « Kars" being conspicuously exhi bited in gas letters over the principal entrance, and the dining-hall was profusely decorated with arrw, flags, banners, and laurel wreaths tastefully groupedinto-ap propriate devices. - The chair was . occupied by Sir A. Cockburn, Attorney-General, on whose right were Sir W. Y. Williams, and his gallant comrade, Major Teesdale Earl Fortescue and Colonel Lake sitting on 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' Shafto Adair, M.P., Mr. T. Bass, M.P., Si r J .

During the dinner the band of the Scots Fusiliers, which was stationed in the entrance hall, 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. Hassid —I rise to propose that toast which on all occasions of public - festivity stands first and foremoat 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 we all are to con stitutional monarchy, : w,hicl) we beliesarto be the bepiase.o curity_for' our libertiea, ,the pergianal , gut. Soya 'reign, both public and private, convert the dry and ab street 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 the Sovereigns of the earth should imitate her example and her virtues, and f(oHree,arl, amh ears: sure, T that -their rul e s h ou ld b e as mild and beneficent as hers. The e wa to k a e s n a r toast of e ' s - p ir o e n r sive Ma - j e e c s ho tY'' in w all ilbth y e o r u e r . bosoms. (Loud cheers.) • The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. Sir A. COCKBURN then said--I have now to propose to you a threefold toast, " The Ileahh of the Illustrious Consort of our beloved Sovereign, the patron add protec tor of science, literature, and therarti ; the health of the Royal heir of these' realms, who, - born aod bred under such auspice , , we may fondly hope will bia all: thiehis future subjects- could wish or desire a 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 aild - religions (Loud cheers.) Seeing,that.we are met on an occasion which savours more of a military than of a civil charac ter, I cannot but recollect that 'one member of. "that illustrious house has lately shared the soldiers' dangers and the soldiers' toils—who in that great siege which engrossed the attention of the whole world has shown that he possesses the inherent bravery of his race, and all those qualities of head and' heart which shotild at tach .to their commander those whom he has to lead on the battle-field. - (Cheers.) The toast was duly - honoured. Sir A. Cocrounx— : The.text toast is one which ought never to be passed over, and certainly not on an occa sion like this, when,' at the close of - a; war which has covered our seldiersr aud 'sailors with glory, we care" met to do horiour,..to one who among a host: of heroes stands oonspiauaus for transcendent merit. (Cheers.) 'The toast I have to propose to you is, " the Army and Navy." At . no time could Englishmen feel more grate 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 protracted siege did not give an oppor tunity for the display of those strategical abilities which in former times crownsd our areas with glory ; but we have bad stubborn fights to Wage,,in'which the courage of our troops has been put to the test, anti periods of privation and suffering which have tried their powers -of endurance to the uttermost. (Cheers) Well and no* have they issued from these ordeals. The stern battles of the Alma, of Balaklava, and, of Inkerman wereopre eminently-soldiers' battles. (Hear.) They showed that Britons still possess the am.nie stubborn audindomitahle courage Which has distinguished them in all ages and in all 04 navy, ton, has only warted an enemy to contend with. Never was it in a highei state of effi ciencY: .Never was its spirit, more gallantly strung than it is noba, and' was throughout the late war ; aud, if it has not sjgbalisedlto prowess as highly as it could have wished, it is. simply because its power was so manifest that its foe durst not trenture,.forth to meet it. .I fear we have no representative of the navy pri:ient a bet 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 tonight do honour. Among .thoso 'whose fame will be inseparably bound up with the nanie'of Kars is Colonel Teesdale. I rejoice to see his gallant father at our festive board,,and. I beg to ample the name of so worthy . a sire of so _dis tinguished a son with the toast. (Cheers.) The Chair man then concluded by giving " The Army 'and Navy," connecting with the toast the name of Colonel Teesdale, senior, of the Artillery. (Loud cheers..) Colonel TEESDALE, senior, in returning thanks, ob seived that the reception which the Guards and other portions of the army had 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. Merit 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. CoOxisunsr—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 cheering.)' I have designated him, by the name 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 be 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 tenni - nand not inaptly called hire. I own that I feel myself placed in circum stances of no ordinary embarrassment. I cannot do jus tice in his presence to Sir Wm. Williams, of Kars, for in attempting to portray merit like his - 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 baud 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 geniis, of courage,lof indomitable energy; and untiring perseverance. (Cheers.) When Sir Wm. Williams . went 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 ao 'enemy disciplined, prrlisioned, and consisting of gallant soldiers, led by able generals. Under these adverse circumstances this brave hero never for a Moment desponded. He grappled with villanous pashas—(laughter)—he thwarted and repressed their love- of peculation and plunder, stimulated the dormant ener gies of others, inspired all with a partion 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 f or th e super 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 rendess-until an army overwhelming in numerical strength had•been repulsed froinits walls.. If it fell at last it fell not beneath the sword or the cannon of the enemy, but before that :fob—famine, which-neither couragi', nrr vi gnur, nor resolution , can resist, and in its fa'l it covered its garrison with a glory as imperishable as the renown of :their herdic 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 mote heartily - give the meed of their unmixed applause, it:is eeurage, yigeur,'energy,'clisplayed amid overwhelming difficulty and disaiter. (Cheers.) - By these great qualities our hr. :loured guest .bas been eminently distinguished—l will pot say aboie 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 hunible tribute to his transcendent merit. This is, it is true; apolitical institution, yet - I am mire I speak the sentiments of all when declare• that-politi cal considerations have had no influence in this ,dernon- Oration. (Cheers.) When we first invited him to be come our 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 bins 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 repeating what was said to him by his magnahirnous foe, General Mouravieff—that, associated with Kars, h e h as earne d f or himself an undying name in the history of .warfare. (Cheers) I beg tberefpre, gentlemen, to propose to you a toast, to which I know you will all respond with oneunited acclamation and one united heart, "the health of the illustrious Sir William Williams, of Kars." (Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst enth tis;astie app'ause. Sir WILLIAM WILLIAMS was received with load and prolonged cheering. He said—Mr: Chalonan, my lord, and gentlemen, in rising to return thanks'for the toast which haS been so eloquently proposed and eid.entfinsi astically drunk, I can assure you.that. .at asidsrs to find suitablelerins in vibich to acknowledge _ yoUr,kind, near.'

The time would eiiiile when our own great commander, who led our army to the - Crimea and defeated an overwhelming enemy as Alma and Inkerman, would receive that justice whioli; he had up to this hour been denied. Yet the small band of heroes, shut up within an Asiatic fortress, with starvation staring them in the face, not „kilo/rink but that their lives would fall asacrifice to hunger or the sword of the foe, unconscious that any historian would tall their deeds to Europe, and ignorant that - they had a gallant adversary who would do them justice-- displayed a valour and fortitude under such circus" stances that pre-eminently entitle them to the affection ate admiration which the people of England felt fen General Williams and hie gallant companions. (Hear. 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 his mother in England, who fearing that this decoration might be intercepted by the enemy, wrote a letter ac 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 telescope, and at night visiting the Outposts. On that great Michaelmas-day of last year this young officer, although nut 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 Rns-, miens, 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, 1855. and what happened 400 years ago at Agincourt, that he (Sir W. P. Wood) could not refrain from quoting, with a slight change, the language that our great dramatist put into the month of men whose sentiments were iden tical with those which animated General Williams aid his noble comrades : " If we are marked to die, we are enow "To do our country loss ; and if to live, " " The fewer me n th e grea t er share of honour. . . . .• . Then shall our names, " Familier in their mouths as household words— " Williams, Lake, Thompson, Teesdale, Sandwith, [C "Be in th e i r fl ow i ng cups remembeiSid. hurchill— " This story shall the good man teach his son ; "Awl now St. Michael's-day shall ne'er go by, "From this tim e t o th e end i ng of the world, But we in it shall be remembered, " We few, we happy few, w e b an d o f b rothers. " (Cheers.) H e begged to give "The memory of Captain Thompson and the brave men who fell at Kars." The toast was drunk amid solemn silence. Mr. M. T. Bass, M.P., in proposing "The Turkish Defenders of Kars,' said 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 weal); of their officers and their officers worthy of such troops. (Cheers.)' Sir A. COOKBURN—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 defenders of Kars. lam now about to refer to one of its assailants. While I distinctly disclaim and repudiate ail hypocritical magnat iwity, I am ready to shake hands after the corn bat with a gallant 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.l I leave it to the unctuous phraseology of diplomacy to smooth over matters of controversy between hostile nations. • ("Hear, hear," and a laugh.) 1 am' not 0134 of those who admire Russian tactics or Russian diplo s macy. But there are splendid exceptions ; and if we have 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 find an an t aa gonist ani ma t e d by the noblest sentiments of chivalry and soldier-Ike generosity let us not refuse to do him honour. (Hear, hear.) 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 CO' inspire us with the warmest and most enthu.iastio admiration. (Chairs.) Our honoured guest will, lam sure, bear out every word I am about to utter. When,reduced by the horrors of famine, an 4 seeing his soldiers perishing day by day, until at length oa y a mlserabie reniaant of them was left, Sit W. Wile hears felt that the time had come where he must seek ! o lotrable terms of capitulation, he went forth to meet General Mouravieff, and was received by him in the met frank, gallant, and high-minded spirit. (Cheers.) When:. our la:Wit:guest declared that he was prepared to surreoder, but ma-t. demand honourable terms, and that if be did nut obtain them nothing should be left to furnieh a trophy to 'the enemy—that everything should be de re royed, and the conquerer riight then enter to wreak his vengeance on the helpless band' wore down and wasted by hunger and disease, (*.nerd Mouraviell at once replied, " I wish to inflict no re venge or humiliation on an army and a General whose. merits I, as & soldier, am the first to acknowledge have earned for them a name in history. I aril 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. Sand with, whose devotion during this famous siege will live long in the grateful recollection of his countrymen, and whose admirable work shows that hie literary talents are as great as his professional skill and his gallantry in the field. (Coeere.) That gentleman tells us how magnani mously the brave Mouravieff 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 ofthis RuSsian general, in whom we must all feel that our own noble commander met a worthy foe. The toast, therefore, that I have now to' offer you, which finds no place upon the list, but has' arisen spontaneously, is one which must be hailed with .. acclamation, not merely by every soldier present, but by every man capable of responding to high and honour able emotions. I give you, gentleman, "The health of e • General Mouravieff." Drunk amid loud applause. -'.- s ''' )- ': 7 -- r o I ''' . .- I ' .-- - l e ). Mr. T. NORTON, in proposing " The Houses of Parlia- r 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 th e R ouse l of Lorde, slid —I feel persuaded that this assembly°, re garding the Upper House as a settled order of the State 'and an es3ential part of the constitution, willalwaya be disposed to accord wh a t ever measur e o f respect it is en- - t titled to claim. Although you may regret, as I ,do, the , recent shortcomings of th at b o d y on an impovant ques tion connected with the great principles et religious liberty, yet if you revert to the general course 'of our legislation for the last 10 years, and to the improvements which, under the direction of honest and liberal Govern ments, have been made in the laws regulating commerce and navTati no, and in our various institutions—moral, social, and e3onomical—you will not be inclined to deny to the House of Lords a fair share of the credit due to those wbo 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 weed of praise for the House of Lords on account of the joy with which it hailed and the promptitude with which 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 wc , rthies as Nelson, Wellington, and Raglan. Mr. MOFFAIT acknowledged the compliment on be: - _ half of the Etou,i! of C ;mrnong. _ _ . • General WILLIAMS then gave "The Chairman," who bad so worthily piesided over them, and by his rare elo quence thrown a charm over their pr,ceedings. (Cceers.) Sir A. COCKBURN responded. He felt that a military man ought to have occupied the position which he had so.-kfi - ad,quately filled ; but he had regarded the invite tion to take the chair that evening in the light of a com mand. To have his name avociated with a gathering held to do hout.ur to so brilliant a star of the epoch as tile hero of Kars would be to him a lasting source of gratifikation.
