TriE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE The reinforceinents sent out to ithe army in the East this week, and to be completed in a week to come, amount to 4,000 men. These are to make •Ity for the casualties of the campaign, and are calculated to bring up our effective contingent of the army to the original number sent ont—ramely, 30,000 infantry, with the usual accompanying force of cavalry and artillery, and commissariat, 'etc. Indeed, to render the army still more effective- than usual, large additions have been made to the medical and commissariat, and also the ar tillery, which even in the field, without including the siege guns, and the guns landed from the ships, is of more han ordinary efficiency and power: Two regiments of the line, the 57th and 46th, have by this time joined to snake up Sir J. Cathcart's Division to its proper strength in the field. Without being toe much disposed to take a gloomy view of the subject, it is impossible to. deny that great casualties must have taken place in an army of little more than 30,000 from war and pestilence to re quire to be recruited by 4,000 men to fill up the defi ciencies caused in the r ankeZ Sait is, however- About 1,000 went out in the'Queen of the South steamer from, Portsmouth on Thursday last, and a similar number proceeded from Cork in the new Cunard steamer Jura, while two other steamers of tie largest class are pro vided to bring the rest of the reinforcements to the amount of 2,000 more. These are all provided from the reserves and depots at home, and will all join their re spective corps on their arrival at the seat of war ; but no new divisions will be formed. No new regiments will be sent out. It is found impossible to complete a necessary number of regiments at home up to the war complement is less than 3 months from this time ; and it is hoped that before spring the whole of the line regiments may be brought up to the increased number voted in last session —namely, 1,400 men for each battalion-1,000 to be ready for foreign service, and the depot to consist of 400. The regiments lately arrived from Canada, to form a large and lasting addition to our available force, are all in fine health and efficiency ; but they muster no more than 500 or 600 men each, and they roust be re cruited during the winter to the new war complement, when they will be ready in the spring, if required, to supply the place, or to increase the numbers, of our Eastern Army. In the meantime the Government is engaged in promoting the efficiency of the army in every possible way. We are happy to state that the bounty for each sol dier enlisting has been raised 21., the bounty for the cavalry being now 61., instead of 41., and that for the infantry 71. 15s. The standard height throughout the whole service all round is reduced by an inch. With these alterations there is little doubt that the entire dumber required will be forthcoming before the spring emands their services, while at the same time the mi• litia force throughout the whole of the united kingdom will have passed through the reqhisite amount of drilling and exercise for home service, or for supplying the wants of the regular army. Very large and ample supplies of winter clothing have been forwarded to the army in the Crimes, and an amusing as well as instructive library of new books and newspapers has been despatched to the hospital at Scu tari. Already we are gratified to learn that the condi tion of the sick and wounded at Scutari has materially improved, and many are desirous to join their regiments once more. Accounts from the fleet, too, by the mail which left Balaklava on the 13th, and letters written from several of the ships, all agree in describing the cholera as having almost entirely disappeared from on board the squadron.

Her engines gave every satisfaction. Further experiments will be tried before her armament is determined on. We believe, however, that she will carry one 95 cwt. pivet gun for ward. This gun, well worked, will make so small a vessel, with her light draught of water, sufficiently for midable • without being overweighted.

We regret to announce the death of Rear-.A.dreiral Leith (1854), who expired at Blackford on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The following narrative of his services is from 013,yrne's book : "John Leith, born at Leith Hall, county Aberdeen, the seat of his father, is second son of the late General Alex. Leith Hay, by Mary, daughter of Charles Forbes, Esq., of Baliogie ; brother of Sir Andrew Leith Hay, Knight, of Rannes and Leith Hall, a lieutenant-colonel in the army, and M.P. for the Elgin district of burghs; and nephew of Lieut.-General Sir James Leith, G.C.8., K.T.S., Grand Cordon of the Order of Merit of France, Governor of Barbadoes, and Commander-in• Chief of the Forces in the Windward Islands, who died Oct. 16, 1816. class volunteer, on board the Lapwing, 38, Capt.

In October of the same year he removed with Capt. Skerie to the Leander, 50, com manded next by Copts. J. Talbot, Henry Whitby, and Sa lusbury Pryce Humphreys ; and on F e b. 23,1805, he was present, under Captain Talbot, at the capture of La Ville de Milan, French frigate, of 46 guns, and recap ture of her prize, Cleopatr a , 32 . Follow i ng C a pt a in Humphreys, in ug., 1806, into the Leopard, 50, Mr. Leith was in that ship on June 22, 1807, when she compelled the United States frigate Chesapeake to sur render, in consequence of a refusal on the part of the latter to allow the British to search her for deserters. In April, 1808, he joined the Triumph, 74, Captain Sir Thomas Masterman H ar d y, and after serving as mas ter's mate in the N or th Sea and at the blockade of L'Orient, became a tt ac h e d with that officer to the Bar flour, 98, bearing th e fl ag eff Lisbon of Hon. George Cranfield Berkely, w h o, on June 26, 1809, nominated him acting lieut enan t o f the Norge, Captains Edmund Boger and Joh n S prat Rainer. In the course of the same summer we find M r . L e i th engaged i n fitti ng out some Spanish men-of-war at Ferrol, then threat ened by the French. In the following October, on 10th of which month he was confirmed a lieutenant, he went back t o th e Barfleur, and on the promotion, in December, 1810 , of the present Ad m iral Berkeley, . succeeded him i n the office of fl ag li eu t en ant. Pre viously, howeve r , t o that event he had been invested with the com man d (which he retained until the final expulsion of th e F rench army under Massena from Por tugal) of th e t e l egraph posts on the lines of Torres Ved ras. Duri ng th e. laid scene of Badajos, Mr. Leith, it appears, was pres en t at the head-quarters of Lord Wel lington ; an d i n April, 1811, he was there when it was stormed and car r i e d . The Barfleur being ordered home in 1812, he was next, after an interval of a few months, the first he h a d en j oyed since his entrance into the navy, appointed, in Ap r il , 1813, to the Sceptre, 74, Captain Charles Bayne Hodgson Ross, flaebip of Rear-Admi ral George C oc kb urn ; previously - to acc ompanying whom into the Albion, 74, he took part in the attack upon Hampton, the capture of Ocracoke and Portsmouh islands (whence was brenght off the Anaconda, of 20, and Atlas, of 12 guns), the occupation of Kent Island, and other services. In June, 1814, he returned to England, on b eard the St. Domingo, 74. He attained the rank of commander June 13,1815, but was not again employed until September, 1822, en the 4th of which month we find hint appointed to the Bellette, 18, fittin g f ar the West Indies, where he removed, June 28, 1825 , to the Pylades, 18 ; was appointed, June 28 followi ng, acting captain of the Isis, 50 ; and was confirmed, N ov. 1 1, in the same year, into the Rattle snake, 28. B eing paid off on his return home with the Duke of Manchester, late governor of Jamaica, in l eaSeptber, 1827, C aptain Leith remained on half-pay unti ppointed, February 6, 1837, to the Seringapatam, 46, in which frigate he was again ordered to the West Indies, there to take charge of the Barbadoes station. On his passage out he took with him him the Romney, 50, destined to form a depot for liberated negroes at the Havannah, where he succeeded in installing her after encountering much opposition from the governor. With the exception of a visit to Jamaica, on the occasion of Sir John Strutt Peyton being sent home in 1838, he re mained senior officer at Barbadoes until July, 1841, when he sailed for Halifax to recruit his own health and that of his crew. Before his departure, however, be had the satisfaction of being presented with an address and a piece of plate by the inhabitants. He invalided at last from Halifax in October, 1841, and has since been on half-pay." DEATH OF REAR -ADMIRAL PATESHALL. Retired Rear-Admiral L. P. Pateshall died at Here ford, on the 18th inst., aged 75. He entered the Royal navy in August, 1795, as first-class volunteer on board the Indefatigable, 46, Captain Sir Edward Pellew, with whom he continued to serve, in the same frigate and in the Impetueux, 78, on the home and Mediterranean stations, until June, 1801, the greater part -of the time as midshipthan and master's mate. In the former ship he assisted,lin April, 1796, at the capture of a fleet of French merchantmen, the destruction of La Volage of 26, and thel further capture of L'Unit6 of 38 guns and 255 men, Oad alter a chase of 15 hours and a close ac tion of an Hour and 45 minutes, of La Virginia, of 44 guns and 340 men. He was also, on the 13th Jan., 1797, in cOmpany with the Amazon, 36, in a very gallant en agement of 10 hours, which terminated in the destruction, with a loss to the Indefatigable of 19 men wounded, of the French 74-gun ship Les Droits de l'llomme. The Impetueux formed part, in June and August, 1860, of the expeditions to Quiberon and Ferrol. At Quiberon, where he was wounded in blowing up a battery, Mr. Pateshall was actively employed with the boats of the squadron, and at Ferrol he landed with the naval brigad e . D ur i ng t h e term of his at tachment t o the Indefatigable and Impetueux he con tributed to the capture and destruction, including the vessels already mentioned, au many as 20 ships of war DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL RICHARD ARTHUR. Vise-Admiral Richard Arthur, C. 8., died on Thurs day last, at his residence, Gasooigne-terrace, Plymenthl Admiral Arthur entered the navy in 1788, as captain's - servant, on board the Powerful, 74, Captain Arthur Sutherland, guard-ship at Portsmouth, and during the remainder of the peace served in the Southampton, 32, Captain R. Goodwill Keats ; Valiant, 74, commanded by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence ; and Druid, 32, Captain Jos. Ellison. In 1793 he sailed as midship man of the Heroine, 32, Captain Alan Gardner, and,after assisting at the reduction of Trincomalee and Colombo in 1795-6, was sent in command of three transports laden with stores and provisions for Rear-Admiral Rainier's squadron at Amboyna, where he joined that officer in his flag-ship, the Suffolk, 74. From March, 1797, until officially promoted, Feb. 28, 1800, Mr. Arthur continued to serve in the East Indies as acting lieutenant on board the Orpheus, 32, Captains Benjamin Win. Page and Win. Hills, and Trident, 64, Captains Alexander Mil ner and John Turner. Returning to England, he be came in succession attached, on the Cadiz, Mediterra nean, and Jamaica stations, to the Dreadnought, 98, Captain James Vashon ; Excellent and Triumph, 74's, Captains Frank Sotherwa and Sir Robert Barlow ; and Hercule, 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral James Richard Dacres. On the Ist November, 1805, the subject of this - memoir, who had previously borne a useful part in re peated actions with the gun-boats off Cadiz, was pro moted to the rank of commander for his gallant conduct in cutting out, in command of the Hercule's boats, a Spanish schooner from under the batteries of Santa Martha, and capturing four others (one armed) in the Gulf of Maracaibo. Being next appointed, Sept. 25, 1 1806, to the Vesuvius, bomb, he accompanied Lord Gambier's subsequent expedition to Copenhagen, where 1 he served with the in-shore squadron under Captain P. Puget, on the occasion of its being attacked by the , Danish flotilla, and in his general conduct acquired the approbation of his superior officers. On paying off the Vesuvius, in December, 1807, Captain Arthur was em ployed in superintending the discharge of the Danish , line-of-battle-ships at Portsmouth. On the 12th of April, 1801, he joined the Cherokee, brig, of 10 guns and 70 men, which vessel, during the Scheldt expedition of 1809, he commanded as one of the advanced squa dron above Bach. He subsequently, on the 11th of January, 1810, being off Dieppe, distinguised himself I by running in under the batteries and attacking seven lugger privateers, anchored within 200 yards of the pier -head, one f which, L'Aimable /filly, of 16 guns and 60 men, he succeded in boarding and , bringing out. In acknowledgement of this dashing exploit be was at once promoted to the post rank, by commission dated back to the day on which it was achieved. From Oct. 1, 1812, until Dec. 1, 1815, Cap tain Arthur further commanded la the A.ndronseda, 24, off Lisbon and in the Mediterranean. He was not, however, again employed until the summer of 1844, when, after 23 years of incessant application, he was appointed cap tain of the Victory, 104, and superintendent of the or dinary at Portsmouth, which situation he resigned on being constituted, Sept. 23, in the same year, captain of the Ocean, 80, and superintendent of the Sheerness dockyard. Ho was superseded in the latter appointment on advancement to flag rank, Nov. 9, 1846. He was nominated a C.B. July 28, 1838, and from August 28, 1840, until his last promotion, was in receipt of the cap tain's good-service pension. Vice-Admiral Arthur was a son ofJohn Arthur, Esq., of Plymouth, and was brother to Colonel Sir George Arthur, Bart., K.C.H., for some time Lieut.-Governer of Upper Canada and Van Diemen's Land, and Governor of Bombay. He married in Nov., 1809, Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. W. Wells, rector of East Allington, Devonshire, by whom he had issue, three sons and one daughter. THE CRYSTAL PALACE FETE. The grand military fete given on Saturday " in aid of the several funds for tho relief of the sick and wounded and widows and orphans of her Majesty's forces en gaged in the Russian war," has proved so successful that we believe every one present, although expecting something great, was literally astonished at the splendid event of the day. Long will it be before the quiet neigh bourhood of Sydenham, Norwood, and Anncrley forgets the multitude that assembled last Saturday. The doors of the Palace opened at 10 o'clock, and the French Guides, who were the "lions" of the day, and who occupied a conspicuous platform raised in the great transept, played "God save the Queen," accompanied by the palace band. However, the day had not yet begun, and the visitor who had heard nothing of the fete might have supposed that this was a mere ordinary occasion, had not his attention been arrested by a large trophy erected in the very centre of the building;. This was composed of flags, cannon, and other arms from the Tower stores, and had been designed and executed under the seperintendence of Mr. G. Stacey, storekeeper at the Tower. The base consisted of a round platform, with two steps, covered with crimson cloth, on which were placed rows of cannon-balls. Above the base were two brass cannon taken at Bomarsund, and at opposite angles two mortars. The whole structure, which com prised weapons of all kinds, as well as four complete suits of steel armour, was in three compartments, each smaller than the one below, and terminated in a lofty pole, from which were suspended the flags of France, Turkey, and England, crowned with a wreath of laurel. This trophy was the conspicuous sign of the day ; but the lounger at 11 o'clock—at which hour louttging was not only practicable but inevitable—might observe another symptom of the fete in the medal-striking estab lishment of Messrs. Pinches and Co. The ordinary function of this firm is to cut, stamp, and finish, before the eyes of admiring spectators, cheap medals, impressed with a likeness of the Crystal Palace. On Saturday the employment was as usual, but the die was changed, so that the medals bore a trophy composed o f th e fl ags of the three allied nations. They were largely purchased throughout the day. Somewhere about half-past 11 o'clock a change came over the aspect of the palace. A considerable number of persons had assembled in the centre of the transept im mediately opposite the " Guides," and the fronts of the first galleries in the same region were pretty densely oc cupied. All at once, the " Guides" struck up the " National Anthem." This was the first time it had been heard by anything like a multitude, and it was en thusiastically cheered. It was immediately answered by the Ist Life Guards, who were stationed in the gal lery opposite to the " Guides," and played " Partant pour la Syrie." Here the enthusiasm was redoubled, for here was the occasion to demonstrate that feeling of fraternity which was the actuating spirit of the day. The " Guides," conspicuous from their scarlet dress and prominent place, were the grand object of attention to all present ; but the let Life Guards, who were sta tioned in friendly opposition to them, made so brilliant an appearance as to attract much curiosity. They had placed before them in the gallery the splendid kettle. drums of solid silver presented to them by his late Ma jesty William IV., and these, surmounted by the stan dards of the regiment, had almost the effect of a military trophy. From this time till the migration to the terrace took place the various bands who were present on the °eel sion, and were stationed in various parts of the building, played in succession. The effect of this arrangement was meet singular. Some national air or other, " The British Grenadiers," "Auld lang Syne," and what not, was constantly breaking forth from some new part of the building, as if a musical hint given by the central transept was suddenly taken up by the Gothic screen, and then acted upon by one of the galleries. As the oaks of Dodona were endowed with voices, so it seemed as if every nook of the Crystal Palace was impregnated with music, impatient to break out on every occasion. The following is the official list of the bands and their conductors, as stated in the programme : Imperial Regiment, "lAes Guides"—Conductor, If. Mohr. First Life Guards—Conductor, Mr. Waddell. Second Life Guards—Conductor, Mr. Grattan Cooke. Royal Horse Guards—Conductor, Mr. Tutton. 6th Dragoon Guards (Cara bi neers)—Genductor Mr.Cuconi. G re nadier Guards — Conductor, Mr. Schott. Coldstream Guards—Conductor, Mr. Godfrey. Scots Fusilier Guards—Conductor, Mr. Reese. 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment—Conductor, Mr. Kutle. 94th Regiment—Conductor, Mr. Froehnert. R o ylArtillery—Conductor, Mr. Smyth. Royal Sappers and Miners—Conductor, Mr. Youlo. Royal Marines (Woolwich)—Conductor, Mr.Winterbottom. At the time while the bands, by their alternate per formances, were most effectively demonstrating their power and their precision, the portion of the building devoted to refreshments vras largely occupied. The within the pale ce was to cease, and the bands were to play in union e n the terrace. The grounds outside of the palace had • therefore attracted many from the interior and a traffic' con 2menced for chairs and benches, that the concert might t. l ie enjoyed with something like ease.. More cautions :individuals had secured chairs.ineide,..and aright be se en working their way through* arowdqrith the eneumb creme& of these articles of !army. These *he' were less cautious became the customers of sundry boys who fernisl ked seats at prices ranging from ld. to 6d., according t o the varying ratios of demand and supply. The time that elapsed before the commencement of the "concert" .on. the terrace was hero and there occupied by convers:ttion between those who had arrived early and those who had arrived late, when the former, who had anticipa tel the mob, heard strange legends of the difficulties thait had attended the approach to the Lon don-bridge staition at the hour - of noon and thereabouts. Perils to hats, a promiscuous use of carriages, without regard to the, relation that nominally exists between. price and class, and that peculiar operation of a mob which is described as " lifting off one's feet," formed the principal them( ,s of divers narratives. At last the: " concert" began. The united bands were stationed on the lower terrace, surmounted by Mr. Schallehn, the director of the company's band, who stood in the centre, raised half his length above the rest, and conspic axons with his baton. Himmel's air to an English version of Theodore Kerner's "Prayer" ( Vetter, ic/i rufe dich) was given with admirable precision, and the voices coin biped with the multitude of instruments produced a grand effect. A potpourri, consisting of divers national airs, of the sort heard over and over again in the earlier part of the day, was played shortly afterwards in the best spirit of military hilarity. Had there been no attempt to explain the order of succession in which the airs were played the enjoyment would have been perfect; but there was a little sprig of rue, in the shape of a programme, which teazed several persons into an attempt to establish a connexion between the list that was presented to their eyes and the sounds which saluted their ears. There was, in fact, no "con cert" in the Hanover-room tense of the word, or any leisure to listen to it, if there had been. The whole thing was a grand, free, unencumbered exhibition of national feeling, to which the military music gave a sort of poetical tone. People were not there to compare the respective merits of the various bands, and to balance force on one side with precision on the other ; crowding and crowded, pushing and pushed, as they were, how could they de, anything of the kind ? But they were there to give vent to an universal feeling, and right heartily they availed themselves of the opportunity. One curious effect of the performance on the terrace is well worth notice. So sensible was the vibration of the glass, that every note played by the band was distinctly reverberated, and it seemed as if the band without was accompanied with miraculous precision by a hand within. Some persons, indeed, declared as a matter of fact that the expedient employed on the stage when the prompter represents an echo had been adopted on this occasion, and that there were real substantial musicians playing on real substantial brass inside the palace in response to their brethren out of doors. How ever, on inquiry, we are of opinion that this statement was a mere hypothesis, which prematurely took the form of fact. The most exciting moment of the day was when, shortly before 4 o'clock, the " Guides" returned to their station in the interior of the palace, and again played "God save the Queen," which was followed by "Par taut pour la Syrie." These airs had been played count less times during the earlier part of the fete, but now they derived new importance from the circumstance that they were executed in the presence of the whole con densed multitude. All the galleries were crammed ; a long perspective of waving hats and handkerchiefs reached into the furthest distance, and thunders of encore pealed through the vast edifice, to be promptly and vigorously answered by the willing band. At that moment the " Guides," not a 3 accomplished military musicians, but as Frenchmen, as the representatives of an ally, were objects of actual idolatry to a throng which, for number and distinction combined, was perhaps unparalleled. To give its full value to this colossal demonstration, it should be borne in mind that the assembly at the Crystal Palace was a respectable crowd—a crowd without a mob. The prudence of the earlier diners was now made ma nifest. A reasonable hour for dinner had arrived, but comestibles were scarce. Cold roast beef was indeed to be procured, and this is a good national article of con sumption, but then cold roast beef without bread -or vegetables is not appetising, and the hungry for the most part looked wistfully at the piles of picked chicken bones, which stuod as monumental records of the pru dence of their predecessors. After the great demonstration of the visitors en masse a gradual departure took place. The subsequent his tory of the day is a history of difficulties in securing homeward vehicles. There is no occasion to go into the details of these latter events, which, though comprising many interesting episodes of station squabbles, are with out that unity which alone gives a charm to narrative. It is sufficient to say, that those who walked to Anerley found themselves in a better position than those who sought the " Crystal Palace train," and that on no oc, casion during the retreat was a third class man known to avoid a first-class carriage from motives of conscience. Indeed, on th e arrival of one of the trains at the ticket station near London-bridge, when the tioket-taker, en tering a first-class carriage, received every form of ticket save that of the first class, and was told that he ought to consider himself lucky to get anything, he seemed to think the remark perfectly natural, aid pocketed his tickets without comment. LORD J. RUSSELL AT BRISTOL. CIVIC BANQUET IN THE MERCHANTS' HALL. The banquet given to the Lord President of the Coun cil by the members of the corporation and the magis tracy of Bristol took place in the Merchants'-hall, in the city, on Friday evening. The Right Worshipful the Mayor (J. G. Shaw, Esq.) was in the chair, surr o unded by his distinguished guests. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, the MAYOR proposed " The Health of their distinguished guest, Lord J. Russell. (Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to respond to the toast, and was received with continued cheering. He said—Mr. Mayor, my lord duke, my lords and gentlemen, I can not but feel that I am very far from deserving the kind compliments which it has pleased the Mayor to pay me in proposing my health. At the same time, lam ex tremely proud that he has done me the honour of invit ing me in the name of your ancient corporation, and in this ancient hall, belonging to, as it does, a society which in former times sent forth from our shores men of naval eminence to become the discovers of new worlds. (Cheers.) I believe that the spirit of honourable enter prise still continues in Bristol ; for from all that I have learnt of your judicious measures in lessening dues which impeded your t ra d e , an d f rom all that I kew of your opening up new sources of commerce, you have shown yourselves,to be the enlightened and intelligent successors of that community which, in days gone by, furnished se many men eminent in the history of our country. I like wise feel proud that, never having disguised my senti ments on political matters, and having always, I may say, taken d ec id e d v i ews accor di ng to my own judg ment—(hear)—and never having concealed those views, I am proud to find that I have net by their ierfon e xpression ri forfeited the goo d o pi n i on o f man y w h o may d me in the sentiments I have formed. (Cheers.) I feel, en the one h an d, th a t thi s evinces very greatiber.dity also, that on your part ; and you will permit me it shows that, l w ie h v e e tl t i l e i r at th h e ol o d p in i wrong, you be greatness and and happiness of the British peop cOun try.

My lords and gentlemen, those who may have hitherto thought lightly of the calamities of war must novr be convinced that we, who have now embarked in it, urged to it by cruel necessity, were not wrong in pausing long —(hear, hear)—in emliausting all the means of preserv ing peace ere we entered upon war. Yet I trust that we shall prove, as we have proved, both as a Government and a nation, that if we have been slow to enter into a quarrel, we shall yet hear ourselves in that quarrel " that the opposer may beware of us." It is now three-quar ters of a year since we first came into hostility with a power which boasted of an armament of some 600,000 men, and which proclaimed to the allies that in the 01111;0 of tho lag Winter that 000,000 Simla be raised _t in O tll aix;illion with a pow er w hi c h h a d 27 s hi ps of the line Baltic, and eighteen in the Black Sea. Well, then, this was a foe worthy to contend agednst the forces both ;o£ I~hglaaid and that ally greatest cor.4taucc~, with which has st oo d by us with the v, hofn lie have always taken counsel, with whom we have stood side by side in the field and in the Cabinet—l allude to the Government of voe, a the French empi re . Well, my lords and gentlemen, what have we see n w i t h regard to the naval part of iu o wa p ni e nh r a f t eo i m o e s n y s ww ? hhoi ch H c a aw y m i e n e g to uahvtaetdo shin in uetet fo uu r pz e a r nd w e a n rs da to co n t end in their po r t s , and all events, to win nav a l renown from us, we bow have tions o have prevented frem pressing us as respects the opera ps. Among the first considerations which came before us was, how to prevent the march ;of a great army in the immediate neighbourhood against an enemy despised by the imperial.bead o f the Russian em pire; despised by its statesmen, and despised by its - genials—Turkey. It was Paid; it was boasted, that the destruction of the ernoire of T ur k ey would be an easy matter, as 'she weell lie unable to resi s t the march of the Russian arns. ~ N ow we considered, eeein,g that at least the power e': '.!nrkey was not equal to' that of Russia, her army• not being one-fourth as great, and her finances 'being disarranged,' we considered how we might best assist her. W 0 - hod heard it said by Russian stamen •of great ability that Constantinople could not be save. 4 by our fleets ; - that we might send our fleets there, but they could not preverit the advance of the Rto::Qian legions. Well, after much. con.ideration and after mr.el , c enmunication with the French Government, we detemioed upon sending an army—a considerable army—to the East, to protect the threatened power. The question they arose, having determined upon sending an arolv out, who should we place at its head ? That question, my lords and gentle men, was soon resolved, became:" there was one man who during the Peninsular war had been constantly at the side of that great warrior, Arthur, Duke of Wellington —(cheers)—who had conducted also the military depart ment of the British service under that illustrious duke, and who had had opportunities of observing in the field the execution of all his plans— (hear, hear)—a general, too, who possessed himself the greatest experience, and who was admired and b e l oved b y the whole British army. I speak now of Lord Fitzroy Somerset (Lord Raglan), a near relation of the noble and gallant duke (the Duke of Beaufort) who sits near me. (Cheers.) We did not therefore hesitate in our choice, and, gentle men, the results which have followed that choice have more. than justified nil , oev expeettitione. Men Lora - LBAglau-phioed „himself 4 tikki he 'a the Bridal ar m y at COnstaniino ple he immediately sought an:lnterview with Omer Pacha—(cheers)—with that daring and skil ful warrior who so long bad kept the foe at bay, and who, not rashly risking his army in the field against the woll-organised troops of Russia, thereby gained for his own force considerable advantages. I have said that Lord Raglan sought an interview with Omer Pacha, for the purpose of deliberating on the plans of the campaign. That interview took place at Varna. It has been stated that Omer Pacha had asked for assist ance from the allied armies to relieve Silistria, and I have seen a statement in the public papers that it would have been only necessary to have sent 10,000 men for that purpose ; but my lords, Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen, men accustomed to military duties, men of great expe rience, caution, and judgment, do not concur in that opinion. (Hear, hear.) Neither Marshal St. Arnaud, Lord Raglan, nor Omer Pacha so judged of the matter. Although Omer Pacha had succeeded in repelling the Russians, and might have su ccee d e d without the pre sence of the allied army, still I believe that Russia would have renewed her aggressive attacks again and again, and might have in the end proved successful, had it not been for the neighbourhood of the English and French armies, which, together with the position which Austria had then assumed, made the case so en- tirely hopelesss that the foe was compelled to retire across the Danube. (Cheers.) Hare, then, we have the blocking up of the ships of Russia in their ports, and we have the failure in their operations of the Rus sian army. (Cheers.) Immediateiy after the siege of Silistria was raised a new question was opened for consideration, both Iry the Government at home and the generals engaged in the conduct of the war, as to what should be done on the shores of the Black Sea. The Government thought that the time had now arrived for the invasion of the Crimea and the capture of Sebastopol. The instructions of the Governments both of England and France were received at Varna a little after the middle of July, and at a council of the generals commanding the allied forces the expedition was resolved upon. It may seem to us that a long Period elapsed before the resolution was carried into operation, but, gentlemen, we do not and we cannot know all the obstacles which had to be overcome, all the difficulties to be met and surmounted, all the arrange ments which had to be made for the movement of such extensive armies, and for taking the steps best calculated to ensure perfect and successful operations. (Hear.) Before any landing of our troops was attempted in the Crimea, Lord Raglan, with General Canrobert and Bur goyne, and two French officers, surveyed the whole of the coast ; and at the place which was selected by Lord Raglan as being (having a regard t o every cons i deration) the most suitable for the purpose, the landing took place. You all know how successful that landing was, (Cheers.) It was effected without resistance on the part of the enemy, and without the shedding of blood. (Cheers.) There was time for the two armies to form. and they marched on to the Alma, where they gained a brilliant victory—a victory which shed glory upon the allied arms. But that victory was clouded by the death of the Marshal of France, who showed in the last days of his life a vigour, energy, and readiness, which could not be surpassed by men in the very meridian of existence. We have also had to lament, all of us, high and low, rich and poor, have had to lament the loss of many killed in that great battle, and, what has been quite as fatal and more distressing, many who survived the perils of the battle had scarcely time to rejoice ere they fell victims to that dreadful disease which has caused so much mourning and de olation. But, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, we shall all agree in this, that those who fell with without the opportunity of crossing swords with the enemies of their ccuntry—those trays men who were stricken down by disease, died for their country quite as much as these who fell in the very front of the battle. (Cheers.) Well, my lords and gontlemen,jerhat remains must be decided by the fate of war. It is not for us to say what the re sult will be ; all we can venture to say is this, that we have prepared all the means that should ensure success. We have a large and well-appointed army, a numerous artillery, and vast stores of ammunition. We know that we have allies acting with us in mutual confidence, and we know further, that of the justice of the contest in which we are engaged but one opinion prevails. Lord John Russell then quoted from a speech of Sir John Trollop', a political opponent, to show the unanimity which prevails, and continued. With a very few excep tions, there does not exist the man who is not convinced that there never was a more righteous cause than that on which we have embarked, and that we should prose cute the war so as to secure a peace that is just and honourable, and based on a lasting foundation. (Cheers.) If such a misfortune should happen as that Russia should triumph, the present war would be followed by one far more dire, and Europe would be brought under the Cossack dominion. The people of England naturally dread the ambition of the ruler of millions half civilised, half barbarous—a ruler who has proclaimed opinions utterly inconsistent with the independence of any Go vernment. My lords and gentlemen, it is of no use at present speaking of peace till is the course of the war the means shall arise for securing a peace which shall be lasting and secure. However long we may have hesi tated, and however far we may have been anxious to avoid the dreaded evils of war, it is on account of those very evils that we must so prosecute war as to make it conducive to a peace that shall endure. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, I could not forbear giving utter ance to these sentiments touching a subject on which we all feel the deepest interest. I can only again ex press mf,gratitude for the reception you have given me, and I trust that while I hold a place in her Majesty's Government, whatever you may deem to be my errors of judgment, you will yet believe that I am actuated by a steadfast desire to promote the good name and pre serve the liberties of my country, and to maintain her in the position which she has so long held amongst the nations of Europe. (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst loud cheering.) Several other toasts followed, and the company nePa'' rated a little before midnight.

That the Emperor preferred it other wise than as the result of his firm conviction, and after careful consideration of its probable effect on all con cerned, it is impossible to Suppose. In ordering the publication in the Moniteur of those ominous words, the Emperor must have intended either to brand with igno miny the character of one or more of our generals or ad mirals in the Black Sea, or to point at senile incapacity. Whichever was his intention, tie duty of the Governueent is clear. They are imperatively bound to guard the honour of our army and navy.
