MEMO] AL TO LORD CLYDE. A m eeting,, convened by advertisement, was yes terday afternoon held at Willis's Rooms, King stree., St. James's, for the purpose of taking mea sures for the erection of a memorial to the late Lord Clyd s. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cams brid; ;e presided, and among those who were present ever a the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Argyll, Ear d. de Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Ellenborough, th'a Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Dononghmore, the Earl of 3lalmesbury, the Marquis of Harting ton, Sir C. Wood, Lord Stanley, Sir R. Murchison, Gen. Stir W. Gomm, Gen. Eyre, and several other gallant officers who had been the companion in arms of the deceased Field Marshal. There were also several ladies in the body of the room. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in introducing the business of the meeting, said--My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I feel that in opening our proceed ings on this occasion I need offer to you no apo logy for assembling you here, because there is, I am sure, nobody either in this room or throughout the whole empire who will not agree with me and those who have called this meeting in thinking that the painful loss which the country has sustained in the death of Lord Clyde ought to be commemorated in a manner which should do honour and justice to the services of that great and illustrious soldier. (Cheers.) In honourin g hi m , b e li eve me , we d o h onour to our- I selves, and I am sure you will be of opinion that it is unnecessary for me to apologise for taking the chair here to-day when you recollect that I enjoy the privilege of bring at the head, through the favour of my Sovereign, of the noble profession of which my late lamented friend was so distinguished an lahnuodrtnhae ment. I am happy to be able to boast advantage, the gratification, the satisfaction,that and the pleasure of being, I may say, the intimate friend and associate of Field-Marshal Lord Clyde. (Cheers.) In both a public and a private capacity, there• • n fore, I feel lam justified in appearing netore you in order to ask you to join with me and those gen tlemen by whom I am surrounded in showing honour to his memory. (Cheers.) The facts of this case are so simple that I do not think it will be re quisite to say much to convince you of the advan tage and a dvisability—l might also add the neces sity—of doing honour to that great man. (Cheers.) The feeling on the subject is so general that it per vades all classes, from the highest to the lowest; and I am aware that her Majesty herself, even in the distress and sorrow which has for so long a time surrounded her, was the very first to express the strongest desire that hon our an d justice should be done the illustrious sol dier — (cheers)—who had shown such devotion in herservice, and who, in de voting himself to the service of the Crown, had perfoemed such signal services to the country at large. Born a soldier, Lord Clyde from his earliest years gave himself up to his profession, which he ente red, I b e li eve I am justified in stating, with out any friends or supporters, save his own good rlligehLarm the , his honest hea r t, and his noble bearing. advantage of joining the army at a period when a great continental war was being waged, at the period when England first embarked on the great Peninsular contest which terminated so glori ously for her and for that army with which Lord Clyde was immediately connected. I find that in the first engagements in which the troops under the Duke of Wellington's command were concerned my late noble friend took part. Following his career eve find him at Vimiera, Corunna, Barossa, Vittoria, and at San Sebastian,on which occasion he received two severe wounds. He was again seriously wounded at the passage of the Bidassoa, and learnt those ru diments of his profession which can only be learnt on active service in that great contest which eventuated in the advancement and prosperity of his country, and in contributing to raise her position, in the eyes of other nations. With that contest the active career of my gallant friend for the anoment ceased, and here it is, perhaps, well we sho ald ask, why such was the case ? It did not cease because there was any desire to keep back that dis tinguished officer, but from the fact of our having :had a long peace, an event which we cannot de plore, however much we may regret that an oppor tunity was not in consequence afforded for men like Lord Clyde to distinguish themselves for a aeries of years. But when this country again be came again involved in war we find my gallant friend once more in the field, taking part in the ex pedition to China. Now, the duties to be performed in that country in 1842 may not be considered very glorious, but they were, nevertheless, very arduous, and my gallant friend showed then, as on all other occasions, that he was made of the right stuff for a soldier. (Cheers.) It is well:known that the care and attention which he devoted to those under his command were of a character which always brought him prominently under the notice of his supe riors. I recollect well having seen the 98th Regi ment, previous to its going to China, in Dublin, when it was pointed out to me—then quite a be ginner in the art of soldiering—as being peculiarly well adapted for service, because of the able man ner in which it was commanded by Lord Clyde. That regiment went from China to India, where my noble friend was selected to command a division under Lord Gough, and where he greatly distin guished himself at Ramnuggur, Chenab, Chillian wallah, and Goojerat. There are many of those whom I see around me who could bear testimony to the fact that at Chillianwallah no officer was more greatly distinguished than my noble friend. (Cheers.) But that great contest came to a close, 4 ,, " Lord Clyd e w a s placed in command of an im portant p ost i n th e N ort h-W es t ern P rov i nces , and it is known th a t at P es ha war hi s exertions wer e of a nature the most important and valuable Lo the eases prais e for and that he received the highest brings m e d his services on that occasion. This to England ain nito the period when he returned 5 t .63 , up to which time he was per fectly a stranger I have mention:l me, for, although I had seen, as mended in Dublin , the regiment which he cora second in coinmaied' G his place w as supplied by his e neralEyre—who, I am sure, will be the first t o a olto con dition in which th o e wl edge th a t th e a dmir a ble t a ble not to him, but t o Lo t a ble was attribu- Clyde ; and, before I enum eration o f t h e serv i ces proceed further in the of my noble and gallant friend,' would observe that it is supposed by many that the upo li tt le i r 2c dutie s of an officer are those which devolv e in time of It importance. war, and that other matters are or b e g : That, however, is a great mistake. Paid to details mastering the necessary that attention should be and it is the power of geasping and : eatto , efficiently with those details while one's great principles of the profession, and doin g duty ably in th e field, that constitutes t h e good soldier. It is well known that when amen has got his regiment into such a state of efficiency as that in which the 98th was under Lord Clyde, he will be sure to distinguish himself whenever an oppor tunity might arise, and in my noble friend's own case it may with truth be said that be never was placed in a position of responsibility that he did not fully answer the anticipations which had been formed of his professional capacity. (Cheers.) But to re turn to the history of his military career, find that, when in 1854 the war with Russia broke out, one of the first officers selected to go out in com mand of a brigade was my noble friend. It is un necessary for me, I am sure, to dwell on the great service which, in the campaign that ensued, he rendered his country. - Whether we look at his conduct at the battle of the Alma, or when defend ing with a handful of men the important landing port at Bala c l ava , or a t any ot h er per i o d thethrough out war, we a l ways fi n d hi m not on l y perform ing his d uty, as I trust every British officer would d ar e q w ‘ii h r e e n m s called upon, but exhibiting the talents and a great commander. (Cheers.) No long p er i od elapsed before an opportunity was afforded him of justifying the anticipations which were then formesof h is of he Crimean military abilities. eios g t reat Sh o rtly after th e r new it tro ubles in India b ro k e out, andwas felt that i t would be a tedious work to restore order and to that porti on tranquillity of our empire. Her 3L ,..j e ,ty's Government felt called, up on , un d er t h e circumstances, to send out a general officer who should be well qualified to assum e the eonanand of our army in India, and I ern happy to say that, holding then the position which I have now the with ri g h t honour to occup,y, I was associated THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1861 hon. friend, at the time at the head of the War De partment, in recommending to her Majesty that Lord Clyde should be the person appointed to that command. (Cheers.) I never for a momol , doubted that my gallant friend would at once accept the im portant and delicate post, and not only did he do so, but he said he would be ready to start at 24 hours' notice—(cheers)—and he did start within 24 hours for India, and there brought to a close his noble military career in that manner with which we are all so well acquainted. (Cheers.) Ido not think it too much to say that to the intelligence and determination which he evinced during the whole of his campaign in India, and to the spirit of gallantry he was able to inspire into the troops serving under him, it is to be attributed that not only was our great Indian em pire restored to us, but our hold over it rendered more firm and secure than it was before the mutiny took place. (Cheers.) For this happy result we are chiefly indebted to my illustrious friend ; but while I make this statement, I must do him the justice to say that he invariably said he could not do all that he had achieved had it not been for the assistance and support which he received from every person with whom he was connected in India. Lord Clyde was one of those modest men who desire to attribute the merit of their successes to others; but I think he understood his powers, never seeming to take into account that it is one of the marks of great capacity to be able so to select as to sur round oneself with the most competent men in the performance of any great work. But there are other lessons which we may learn from the career of Lord Clyde. It is a glorious thing for this great empire that a man in the lowest rank of life among us, if he o n l y possess the necessary talents and acquirements, may aspire to and reach the highest positions in the State. The State has, therefore, a right to expect to be well served, for she holds out to those who serve her faithfully and well the prospect of a splendid reward. The career of Lord Clyde also teaches us that in the military profession we must not forget to attend to matters of detail, and that although not engaged in war we must keep our army in such a state of efficiency as to be at all times prepared to meet any emergency which may arise, and it is to men who perform their ordinary duties with ability and conscientiousness that we are—as in the case of Lord Clyde—chiefly indebted for the existence of that efficiency. I would therefore impress it upon the officers of the army that it is by the display of such qualities as those to which I am alluding that this distin guished man was able at the end of his career to do so much honour to himself and to confer such lasting benefits on his country. (Cheers.) I hive perhaps addressed you at greater length than I ought—(cheers)—but I felt it impossible to remain silent on a subject in which in my public capacity, as well as for private reasons, 1 take so deep an in terest. I could not refrain from coming forward to pay my humble tribute to the memory of an illustrious soldier, whose loss I in common with you all so deeply and so heartily deplore. (Loud cheers.) Earl DE GREY and RIPON then proposed the first resolution :—" That in order to commemorate the signal services rendered to the country by Field- Marshal Lord Clyde, this meeting is of opinion that a statue be erected to his honour in the metro polis." In doing so the noble earl said,—The speech which you have just heard described in terms so forcible and eloquent the public services of Lord Clyde that I feel it unnecessary to detain you more than a few moments in moving the reso lution which has been placed in my hands. I wish, however, before I sit down to bring under your notice some characteristics of the man to do honour to whose memory we are assembled here to-day, which have come under my own personal notice, or have been mentioned to me by those who were intimately acquainted with him. His Royal High ness stated just now that Lord Clyde—then Lieut. Campbell—was wounded at St. Sebastian, and that he immediately after received another wound at the passage of the Bidassoa ; but there is connected with the short period between the two actions a story with which, perhaps, the great majority of you have not heard. Lard Clyde was at the time lying in hospital at St. Sebastian with an open wound, when he happened to ascertain that nn engagement was soon likely to take place with the enemy. He thereupon, with another companion similarly circumstanced, joined his regiment—l am sorry, for the sake of military discipline, to have to add—without leave—(a laugh)—and went through tho battle of the Beclassoa with great distinction, receiving there a second wound. He was on that occasion told that his breach of discipline rendered him liable to be severely punished, but that the offence would be passed over because of the eminent gallantry which he had displayed. (Cheers.) It is true that, after this war in the Pen insula, a long time elapsed during which the public heard but little of Colonel Campbell, but he was nevertheless during that time engaged in the perfor mance of a great work, for there are few public duties more important than those which devolve on the commanding officer of a regiment, and to the admi rable manner in which he discharged those duties his royal highness has borne ample testimony. And when at length he was chosen, most wisely by the Government of the day, to fill the high position of Commander-in-Chief in India at a moment of great peril, most nobly did he justify the confidence which was reposed in him, and prove the value of that regimental training which he had undergone in the earlier portion of his career. The result of his proceedings in India speaks for itself. He con tributed in an eminent degree to preserve to us our Indian empire ; and I believe I shall be borne out by the opinions of men more competent than myself to form a judgment on the point, when I say that his campaign in that country will long remain a worthy model for the contemplation of the students of military science. (Hear, hear.) I am told that when Sir W. Mansfield, his chief of the staff, who at the time of his appointment occupied an impor tant diplomatic position at Warsaw, was leaving that capital, Prince Gortschakoff said to him, "I have no doubt the revolt will be put down by force, but when that is accomplished it will be a very difficult task to deal with the population of the con quered provinces." This remark can scarcely be re garded as unnatural coming from such a source, but I believe I am right in saying that Lord Clyde dis played not only great ability but singular modera tion in the execution of his arduous task. Acting upon the policy which had been laid down by the Government of India and by the Governor-General, Lord Canning, whose name naturally rises to one's lips on this occasion —(cheers)—in particular, for whom, all who had the honour of his acquaintance well know, Lord Clyde, from the moment when on h w is arrival in India he saw the spirit in which he friendship, at his post, entertained the warmest thr ough hi o t', l ' that ' fri . endship which was maintained their intercourse—acting, I repeat, upon seut , h , p ol icy,, () he heartily co-operated with those who a soldier, h e p t en . so Z:o4' depended on his qualifications, not only as in tii n e ßotee sense as a statesman, and he remarkable powers, of his task great and j u ry which ultimately during the campaign .We now know that it was India he received that in• his valuable life ; a ut. Y ho le d to the termination of were aware in the the time, that with midst of the stirring „ et w ita fe w been scarcely set, on :e t. t superintended ({;beers.) It was in this nea r l t e a dislocated shoulder, whi ch a : he:aid held by the he the very day after this in his palanquin an attack his brilliant t t that he tions. But there was another secret in ceonnedilluyc.ted to a successful issue his life which he achieved —it is the secret of the successace which contributed to earn for him the eminence If possess e d a len to h;in the men under his all great military commanders. H© sin gular power of attaching command. (Hear, hear.) He was very cereful of th e lives of his soldiers. He did not burl them recklessly on the enemy, thinking solely of obtaining victory for himself. (Cheers.) He guarded them against dan ger, as far as was consistent with the attainment of tho object which ha had in view. They knew, there fore, that when he called upon them to make un usual exertion it was because he was convinced of the necessity of the occasion, and they went for ward to victory with the confidence which was jus tifivd by experience. (Cheers.) Such was the public career of Lord Clyde ; but by his intimate acquaint ances he was valued perhaps more for those great pri vate virtues which attached to him so many friends, than for his eminent qualification as a commander. (Hear, hear.) His character was one of remark able simplicity and modesty — (cheers)--simple in his manner, simple in every act of his life, he was ever ready to give to others that praise which was his own due, and to associate with him his subordinates in his success. Those who knew him well can also bear testimony to the fact that he was of a nature the most generous and open. (Hear, hear.) I happen to be acquainted with a t r ifli ng c i rcumstance wh i ch will serve to illustrate his character in this respect. When I held the office of Under-Secretary of War a young officer who served under him had, owing to a financial regulation of the department, to submit to a disallowance of a certain portion of his pay. He was a man of moderate means, and Lord Clyde came to the office and pleaded his cause ; but when matters were explained to him he found that the disallowance must, consistently with the regulations, be continued. " Then," said he, " I will pay the money myself, and there will be an end of the disallowance ;" nor have I any reason to know that the officer in question ever became aware how he obtained this relief. (Cheers.) Such was the manner in which Lord Clyde delighted to spend his fortune, and I believe it may with troth be said that his right hand knew not that which his left hand did. (Hear.) The man who did such deeds and performed services in such a spirit is well de serving to have his name preserved in the recollec tion of a great nation. (Cheers.) The Duke of WELLINGTON, in seconding the resolution, said he was proud to take part in any proceedings which had for their object tc do honour to a great military commander, who, owing to the reputation which he had ac quired throughout a long professional career, had been selected by his Sovereign, with the approba tion of his country, as the soldier the most worthy of their confidence at the moment of pinching need. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put from the chair, and agreed to unanimously. The Duke of ARGYLE then proposed the second resolution :—" That a public subscription be opened, to which all classes of her Majesty's subjects be invited to contribute, and that a committee of the following noblemen and gentlemen be formed for the purpose of carrying out the foregoing objects." [Tice list of the committee comprises the names of the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Somerset, the Doke of Newcastle, the Earl of Derby, Lord Palmerston, Viscount Gough, Lord Elcho ; and some fifty other noblemen and gentle men, including a large number of Lord Clyde's brother officers.] The noble Duke, in moving the re solution, said—l wish at the outset to explain why it is I hold the position which I occupy here to.day, I have probably been asked to second this resolution because I represent, or am supposed to represent the country and the clan which has had the high honour of giving Colin Campbell to the British army—(cheers)---the country and the clan which were proud of his position while he lived, and are now prouder than ever of his memory and his name. (Cheers.) And before I go further you will perhaps allow me to correct an erroneous impression which I find has arisen from a statement made in one of the most popular sketches of Lord Clyde's life, and that is that he was a Highlander only through one of his parents. Now, it is well known to most of you that Colin Campbell, like so many other persons in this country, bore the name, not of his father, but of his mother. It was, however, only a few years ago, as it seems to me, that I had the pleasure of call ing on his venerable father, and I can say with since rity that a finer or a more gentlemanlike High lander I never saw. (Cheers.) It is known, I may add, to many of us that the old feeling of clanship which existed in so remarkable a degree in the Scottish Highlands is regarded as being upon the decline, and it is no doubt true that that, like other feelings which date from an earlier period, has undergone a change. Be that, however, as it may, I can safely state that I never saw that feeling so strongly developed in any man as in Lord Clyde, who never failed to experience the utmost pleasure and pride and the most unmistakable gratification whenever he learnt that his services were recognised and appreciated by any of those connected with his country and race. (Cheers.) Having said thus much, I would observe that no one feels more strongly than myself that public appeals for memorials to public men ought to be made with great caution. In proportion as such materials become common do they become less valuable. (Hear, hear.) Before, therefore, we call upon you to subscribe for such a purpose we ought, I think, to be able to show that he whom we seek to honour had set some splendid example to his coun try or performed some great service to the State. There will, I imagine, be little difficulty in doing this in the case of Lord Clyde. He has presented us with an example of untiring devotion in his pro fession through a long, a laborious, and for a consi derable period a comparatively obscure life. (Hear.) It is very easy to be attached to a profession in which one earns early and rapid success; the merit is in being attached to it throu g h years of comparative discouragement,and this was the case of Colin Camp bell. I do not refer to this circumstance for the pur pose of casting for one moment blame on those under whom Lord Clyde served, or on the sys tem by which their conduct was governed. Success depends very much on what men are accustomed to call accident, and this is perhaps more appa rent in the profession of arms, in which the oppor tunities for distinction occur at more remote inter vals than in others. I do, however, think it remark. able that, notwithstanding that long list of glorious services to which his Royal Highness has to-day referred, Lord Clyde should no longer than 10 years ago have been a comparatively obscure man. But the moment the Crimean war broke out the great qualities of the commander were called into action, and looking back to that time, it seems astonishing to me that those qualities were not better known to those who were connected with him. For my part I think the very appearance of the man was suffi cient to tell you what he was. (Hear, hear.) I never saw a man whose countenance was more strongly marked by kindness, intelligence, benig nity, and power. (Hear, hear.) lam sure those who had the honour of enjoying his private friend ship, and heard him relate his experiences of war with that modesty which so well became him, and with an enthusiasm at the same time which showed how much he loved his profession, must feel surprise that it could ever have entered into the head of any man to doubt that Lord Clyde was something more than a good general of division or a good officer of brigade, or that he was fitted for the highest command in the British army. (Cheers.) It is no secret, indeed, to many that in India the impression very generally prevailed that his opera tions in suppressing the mutiny were unneee3sarily slow, and showed that he rated too highly the enemy with which ho had to contend. It so happens, however, that Lord Clyde did me the honour of calling on me the evening before he left for India, and I can state with the most per- feet confidence that he looked forward to the eup pression of the mutiny with a certainty which sub sequent events completely justified. He did not over-estimate the power of the Sepoys. He told me, on the contrary, that regiments composed of Sepoys not under the command of European officers were no better than a Hock of sheep, and could never withstand the charge of the British bayonet in the open field, though they might offer a steady resist ance when placed behind stone walls. His opera tions, therefore, were deliberately planned, with a view to the saving of European lite, and not less for the purpose of pacifying the country and not merely conquering it for a time. (Cheers.) We must recollect that the duty which he was sent to India to perform was not simply to overcome mutinous regim en t s —it was t o reconqu er a n d to r.e.ss ettie that country, and it was to that end that operations were directed. I would before I sit down add one other reason to those which I have already adduced a memorial in support of the proposal for la' to this illustrious soldier, and that is that he i s a the last of the school which w learnt the art of under the Duke of Welling ton whom we are likely to see assume the command of our armies in the field On all these grounds I should wish to see this memorial raised, and I feel assured posterity will say that we have done right in erecting it, that we have done right in laying Lord Clyde with our most illustrious citizens in Westminster Abbey, and that among those whose remains are mingled with its sacred dust there lies no nobler soldier. (Cheers.) The Esrl of LUCAN seconded the resolution, ob serving that for Lord Ciyde he entertained the sin c2rest affection, and for his military talent the highest admiration. He was, moreover, a good comrade, and should, as Ink as he lived, look back with pleasure and satisfaction on the months of cordial friendly intercourse which he enjoyed with that distinguished man while serving in the Crimea. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was abut to be put from the chair, when Sir J. MAXWELL rose, as a member of the sister profession, to express his disappointment at the manner in which it was worded. The highest honour ought, he thought, to be paid to Lord Clyde, but the best way of conferring that honour was not, in his opinion, through the medium of a public sub scription. It would be preferable that the expense of the proposed testimonial should be defrayed by Parliamentary grant. The CHAIRMAN, having observed that that was not a question which the meeting had assembled to t which was carried. discuss, put the resolution Sir C. WOOD then presented himself to the meet ing, and moved—" That with reference to the mort recent services of Lord Clyde in India, the commu nities of the three Presideneieb be invited to contribute." He said—Looking at the fact that the last and crowning services of Lord Clyde were ren dered in India, it is, I think, becoming that the people of that country should take a more prominent part in the erection of a memorial in his honour than would seem to be assigned to them if they were simply included within the scope of a general reso lution embracing the British Empire. Connected, I may add, as I am officially with India, I should not be doing justice to my own feelings if I did not say that I am glad I have been invited to take part in the proceedings of this day. The early services of Lord Clyde in the Sikh war, and when still more prominently employed in the North-Western dis trict of India, marked him as the man who was best fitted to take the command of the British army when tha mutiny broke out, and more brilliant services than he then rendered his country in relieving the beleaguered garrison of Le cknow, and in the general dispersion of the mutineers were, I believe, never performed in the East. It is unnecessary for me to dwell on the efficient part which he played in sup porting Lord Canning's conciliatory policy. I learnt from Lord Canning himself that from no one did he receive more able assistance than from Lord Clyde, and being myself aware how enlightened his views were on all questions of Indian administration, I am able fully to appreciate the confidence which Lord Canning reposed in him during the time he remained in India after the suppression of the mutiny was accomplished. The people of that country, too, will, I am sure, appreciate the mode in which he discharged his arduous duties, and will, I am convinced, willingly do their part in raising a statue to one who wus so largely their benefactor. (Cheers.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII, in seconding the resolution, said—l feel it would be ungra cious to the British residents in India if I were to express the slightest doubt that the appeal which it is proposed to make to them will be re ceived by them otherwise than with the warmest sympathy. They have at all times, and in matters not specially concerning India, shown their sympa thy with their kindred in this country, and have come forward with the most liberal subscriptions even in those cases in which the interest inspired was rather of a domestic than of an im perial character. I entertain no doubt, therefore, that they will be found ready to respond to the ap plication which we are now about to make. It is to Lord Clyde, under Providence, that they owe the position which they at this moment occupy in India. (Cheers.) It is to the fortunate union in him of the most extreme prudence with the most extreme dar ing in his operations that the late war was carried on with success. For my own part, I honour the prudence mere tha❑ the daring. (Hear, hear.) It is less popular, but in a war in which a false step might have lost an army, and with it an empire, it would be a crime not to take from the domain of fortune everything which could be secured by fore sight and preparation. What Lord Clive was at Plassy, Lord Clyde was at Lucknow. He for the second time restored our dominion in India. I think there is very great utility in the public recognitio❑ which it is now proposed to give such services. To those who have rendered them this recognition it is an act of justice ; for ourselves it is an act of the highest policy. Honours conferred on the dead ani mate the living. I have always thought that the first of all professions is that of the soldier, and the first of all rewards military honour. I think so because, unlike the honours which may be achieved by persons serving in other professions, those won by the soldier are from the first undisputed realities. Nu matter how the services of a statesman may be regarded by those who agree with him in opinion, he may live far beyond the ordinary life of man be fore it becomes in the least degree probable that there will be anything like a general acquiescence as to the propriety of the measures ou which he founds his claim to distinction. Nay, more, it is probable that the contest on the subject commenced by his contemporaries now will be continued after his death in history. There is hardly a single man who has seri ed the public in civil life during the last 160 years whose claim to honour is not still dis puted, with the single exception of Lord Chatham —and he constitutes an exception because his claim to our gratitude partakes more of a military than of a civil character. It is, therefore, the reality in the honour obtained by the soldier that gives it its chief value. There can be no doubt as to the merit of the man who defended Balaklava during the winter of 1854, and protected the com munications of the British army. 'there can be no doubt as to the services of the man who in the face of such diffinilties and dangers as those with which he had to contend rescued the captives in tha resi dency at Lucknow. (Cheers.) Still less can there be any doubt as to the military combinations of the man who took possession of Lucknow. These are realities which will for ever remain stamped on the romantic history of one of the most extraordinary of wars. In asking your aid to-day, we state what no man can controvert. In Lord Clyde we have lost one of the greatest men we have produced. (Cheers.) Death has lately been very busy among the great men of this country. Their places are all vacant, and no one knows how, within any short period of time, the place of any one of them is to be supplied. But, of all the great men whom we re cently lost, he whose place it will be the most difficult to fill is Lord Clyde. (Hear, hear.) He stood in a position different from any one else. He had more varied and extensive experience of war, not only than any g eneral in England, but in Europe. He saw the great Peninsular war, war i❑ America, in India, in the Crimea. He served in every capacity. He in early youth distinguished himself by great daring and self-devotion. At a later period he was a most exemplary colonel of a regiment, and when raised to the command of a division he was the support of his superior officer. Having obtained the command in chief of an army, it was not only by the direction of 20,000 men under his own hand that he signalised himself, but by the skilful and able manner in which he managed the operations of the whole of the troops in India. Same people find great fault with the composition of the army, and say it is a place for great vices. That may be so to some extent, but it is also the chosen place for the exhibition cf great virtue'. (Cheers.) Depend upon it it is the tendency of danger to call forth all the nobler qualities of the mind. The truest friend ships are formed in the military service ; the most remarkable instances of heroic virtue are those re corded in the field of battle. They embrace, above all, the virtue of humanity ; and for that virtue, for kindness to all men, for an earnest desire to preserve in the best possible st,te the troops under his com mand—for every military virtue of which we read, or which danger evokes, so far as we know—and I knew him well—no man was more remarkable than Lord Clyde. Every one of those virtues was con centrated in the mind and heart of that thorough English soldier, to whose memory we may now ask you to erect a monument. (Loud cheers.) After a few words from Sir W. Gomm, who ad- verted to his having served with Lord Clyde in the early part of his career in Spain, and who spoke of him as a noble soldier and stalwart servant of the State, The resolution was put and unanimously carried. Lord STANLEY then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and in doing so took occasion to say that what had struck him most in Lord Clyde was the singular simplicity and directness of his mind. He had, he might add, since he entered the room heard an anecdote of him which showed how strong was his military spirit. It seemed that he had by', his gallantry at the battle of Barossa attracted the notice of Sir T. Graham, afterwards Lord Lynedoch, who asked him if he had any request to make of him ? Young Campbell was ready with his request, and it was to be allowed to command the next storming party. (Cheers.) He did so, and out of, 121 men who engaged in the hazardous enterprise only one returned without a wound. He might say, in conclusion, that for the mere pecuniary rewards of his profession no man cared less than Lord Clyde. He literally knew of no other use for his money save to employ it for the benefit of men of merit less fortunate than himself. Such a man was one of the few public servants who were worthy of having statues erected to them in our public places, and if he had his wish the statwe of Lord Clyde should stand beside those of his two old companions in arms, Napier and Havelock, while if a fourth were want ing to complete the S eries, he would have its place kept vacant until it could be filled—and he hoped that day might be far distant—by the honoured name of Lawrence. (Cheers.) Sir R. MURCHISON, in seconding the vote of thanks to the chairman, said that, though now en gaged in the pursuit of science, he was proud to think that he had served with Lord Clyde as a sub altern at the outset of his career in the Peninsular IVar. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE having acknowledged he compliment paid, the proceedings terminated. NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS. (From the Gazette of last evening.)

MURDER AT CHATHAM, Yesterday James Palmer, a workman employed in Chatham-dockyard, underwent a lengthened examination before the Rev. J. Formby and Mr. J. Foord, two of the county magistrates at Rochester, on a charge of having wilfully murdered Margaret Jones, a woman with whot4 he cohabited, Thos. Sly, residing in Broad-alley, Chatham, said he saw the prisoner and the deceased together on Sa turday in Broad • alley, looking for lodgings. He had known the deceased since March last. The same evening they both came to the house in which witness lodged, and had tea together there, They were then on very friendly terms. On the following day the deceased came to the lodging-house where the witness lived, and stated that she was going to a funeral at New Brompton. About half-past 1 she left for that purpose. She returned to the house about half past 7 in the evening. The prisoner was in the house, waiting her return, and had been expecting her for nearly two hours. He frequently inquired after the deceased, and, in reply to the prisoner's question, the landlady told him she had seen her at the Two Sawyers publichouse. The prisoner ap peared vexed on hearing this, and stated that when the de ceased came home he would " break her nose." The de ceased soon after came in, and on hearing her the prisoner rushed out to meet her, and asked her where she had been. The deceased made no answer, and the prisoner imme diately commenced striking her with his fists about the face and head, until she fell on the floor, While she was lying on the floor the prisoner kicked her once. No more words than those stated passed between the prisoner and the de ceased. The landlord and landlady picked up the deceased, and took her into the kitchen, where they washed the blood off her face. She cried very much, and while they wero washing her she went off into a fit, in which she remained a quarter ot an hour. When she recovered consciousness the prisoner askel her where sae had been. The deceased answered "To Mrs. Maddox." He then asked her to go home, but she said she would not. All the parties, includ ing the prisoner and the deceased, then left the house. Be tween 9 and 10 the same night the prisoner and the deceased returned to the house, and the witness observed that the deceased was still bleeding from the mouth. The prisoner again asked her to go home with him, but she again declined. The prisoner then dealt her a violent blow with his left hand on her face, which knocked her to the ground, and while she was lying there he said, " There, I have done with you, and you may go where you like." He then lett the house. Later in the evening deceased was taken from the house by the landlord, and the witness never saw her alive afterwards. Mary Aun M 'Loughlin confirmed the evidence of the previous witness. Ellen Totterall, a widower, said the prisoner and the deceased came to lodge at her house in Broad .alley, on Saturday evening last. The deceased re presented the prisoner to be her husband. On the follow ing morning deceased left the house to go to a funeral, and did not return all day. Between 11 and 12 that night the de ceased came home, and was very sick the whole night. On Monday morning the prisoner went for a surgeon. Mr. Seabrook, surgeon, attended the deceased. The prisoner re mained at home the whole of Monday, and frequently bathed deceased's head with vinegar and water. The husband of the deceased, a corporal in the Royal Marines, visited her the day before her death, when the prisoner was present. In answer to the husband the prisoner denied having struck the deceased, and accounted for the injuries she has sus tained by saying she had fallen down while intoxicated. The deceased got much worse, and died the following day. Thos. E. F. Seabrook, M.D., said he was sent for to attend the deceased on Monday morning, and fsund her suffering from ill-treatment and drink. There was a bruise on the right side of her face and also on her left temple. The deceased complained very much ot the injuries she had sustained. The prisoner had requested the witness to attend the deceased, and admitted to him, in answer to his ques tions, that he had given her a "slap." The cause of death was the compression of the brain from the effusion of blood occasioned by the rupture of a small bloodvessel, the rupture having been caused by the blow given on the left temple. The depositions having been read over, the prisoner declined making any defence, and he was thereupon committed to take his trial on the charge of wilful murder. The Murder at Guildford. Last night Mr. Capron, borough coroner, held a length ened investigation at the Town-hall, Guildford, relative to the death of Elizabeth Waterer, who was found at the Coachmakers' Arms beer-house, North-street, Guildford, suffocated and strangled. Mary Ann Waterer, wife of Henry Waterer, gamekeeper, Headley, near Epsom, deposed that the deceased was her daughter, Elizabeth Waterer. She recognised the earrings as being those worn by her daughter, and a petticoat, a pair of cuffs, and a collar, as belonging to her also. The portion of a letter on pink paper produced was in deceased's handwriting. Deceased was 23 years of age. Wm. Humphery said he was an indoor ser vant to Mr. Faviell. The bonnet, shawl, and dress produced belonged to the young woman Elizabeth Waterer, who was during the previous week in the same servicg. He last saw the deceased on Sunday evening week at his master's house, a little after 6 o'clock, when she wore the articles of apparel produced. She then left, and never returned. She entered Mr. Faviell's service on the 23d October. Polic e -S ergean t Steel deposed that on Friday mornicg last he went with Mr. Superintendent Vickers to the Coachmakers' Arms, where he forced open the door of one of the bedrooms. He found the deceased woman lying in bed with a pillow over her face, and one of her feet protruding from beneath the bed. clothes. She was quite black and dead. By her side he found the soldier Maghe with his throat cut. There was a shawl on the table, a bonnet on the man's shako, and a dress on the bed. W hen be took off the man's trousers he found the letter on pink paper in one of the pockets. The deceased had several letters in her pocket. Mr. Phillips, M.R.C.S., stated the result of the post mortem examina tion made on Friday and Saturday. The body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, so far as the head and neck were concerned. The limbs were not decomposed, though flaccid. From a partial analysis of the contents of the stomach, there was just ground for supposing that poison had been taken. The analysis had not, however, been completed. Tests had been given for strychnine, and the result of the experiment, so far as it had gone, was that poison had probably been taken; but he could not at pre sent state positively. He was decidedly of opinion that the immediate cause of death was suffocation, produeed by strangulation. The state of the neck indicated this, and he knew of no poison that could produce such appearances. The appearance presented by the lungs was such as might be produced by strangulation. They sere collapsed to a greater extent in this case than usual. The state of the heart was not altogether consistent with death by suffocation. Its very contracted condition was rather indicative of the action of strychnine. From the general appearance of the body de composition must have set in above 48 hours before the dis covery of the body. Mr. Sells, surgeon, who assisted the last witness in making the post-mortem examination, also described the appearance of the deceased. He concurred with Mr. Phillips as to the result of the analysis of the contents of the stomach. As to the cause of death he was not quite satisfied that the deceased died from strangulation, though the state of the neck and upper part of the body would in dicate that she did. He could not say positively that death had been caused by poison, though there were internal ap pearance, indicating that some poison had been used that bad acted on the nervous system. Mr. Phillips, in answer to the coroner, said that the man Maghe, who had been re moved to the union workhouse, had been progressing fa vourably until Friday, when the wounds in his neck re opened, thus placing him in a precarious condition. He would not be able to be brought oat for ten days to come. The coroner said it was very desirable that Maghe should be present if possible, and he therefore proposed not to take any of the evidence on this occasion which specially re ferred to him. A juryman asked if some one should not be present to watch the case on Maghe's behalf. The coroner said, as far as the evidence had gone, Maghe was not at present charged with anything. Atter some further con sultation the court adjourned.
