JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. In reference to the recent elehate In the Home of Commons on the withdrawal of Vie Edinburgh and Glasglw and Cale donian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel 1 t a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible fur its details. They would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, if on oqual,terms, and knowing the absolute necessity of reducing the amount of guarantees, they desire the power to obtain Parliamen tary sanction during this ses - ion, in case all parties should concur. The terms of modidcation ought to have been left blank, In order to be filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian Board never would have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Bill against their pre ference shares, as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as a director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss of •the means of procuring legislative sanction to some arrange• menu this session, may prove most injurious to all parties. (Signed) E. PLUNKETT, Chairman. Edinburgh, March 22, 1860.

Wi t hi n the last forty-eight hours I have been called upon to return thanks for the House of Commons under tiie auspices of the chief magistrate of the city of London, ou an ,Occasion solely connected with the cultivetion of the arts of peace. I am new called upon to return thinks for the House of Commons on an occasion when we are met to commemorate splendid military exploits, and do honour to a commander who has had a long career of victory; but, as it has been justly said by the Noble Lord the First Minister of the CI.) an, there is noincon sistency and no incon:patibi lire between these objects. lVhatever may be our ad,,, truth in of theartsofpetee, and however we may desire to cultivate its bl-selales— however a sense c- duty may faebid us to provoke war for the purpesee ef it is not the less in cumbent en us to in k with our gratitude all those who have rendered eenneet services to the country. As the Noble Lord 1165 justly Laid, those who show valour in war and meoeretion in victory are laying the fiundations of peace.—(Cheers.) Therefore the objects of these two meetings, held in this city within short distasice of each other, and separated only by a period of forty-eight hours, the objects of these two meetings, the oi.e to cultivate the arts of peace, th e other to commemorate the splendid victories of an army, are perfectly recoticileable with each other, Lord Gough will shortly, in all probability, return t o that part of the empire of which he is a native, M e will present himself to his gallant and admiring countrymen—(Loud cheers)—and I hope they will see in him a proof that the widest •scope of Irish valour and the exhibition of Irish ?Aleut lies in their incorporation with this country—(Great cheering)— and their identity of feelieg with our disasters, if we should incur disasters, and in the identify of their rejoicing with our victories—in the common fate of our common country—in the union of two great nations.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose "The health of Lady Gough," one of the most excellent of her sex.— (Loud cheers.) They were all aware that Lady Gough was the faithful companion of her gallant hus band in every quarter of the world. When the hour of peril came, where was she to be found ? Ask those whose hearts were on the field of battle—ask:the high and low, the wife of the private soldier, and the distinguished general—ask them and they would say that it was she who taught men to look to the God of Battles, because it was He alone who would strengthen their arm, and shield the brave ; while, if the fortune of the day was against them, it was He who would be the father of the fatherless, and the husband of the widow.—(Loud cheers.) Ask those who were per mitted to reside under her hospitable roof—esk those who were wonted to partake of her graceful hospita lity, and all would tell them the admiration they had long felt for thst noble lady, as the soldier's wife and the soldier's friend.—(C ;errs.) Lord GOUGH said :—lf I were unable to express my feelings when my own health was proposed, how shall I be able to do justice to those which now overpower me.—(Cheers.) I feel that I am utterly unable to reply. It is impossible to say how deeply I feel this compliment paid to the companion of my toils and the cheerer of my many nights and days of sorrow., I can only assure you on the part of Lady Gough and myself, that no words can convey the sentiments of gratitude we feel fur the kind reception which has everywhere been given us.—(Cheers.) Tne CHAIRMAN then proposed "The health of the Lord Mayor." His Lordship returned thanks. Sir H. PEEL then rose and said, that, if he was not anticipating the intentions of any other person; he would be most anxious to submit a toast to the meet ing, and he was satisfied the company would not pro ceed further without drinking the health of their Honourable and Gallant Chairman, and marking their respect fur the station he held, and their admiration of the manner in which he had discharged his duties as the representative of the great company of which he was the head. The Right Honourable Baronet then gave " The health of Sir Archibald 'Galloway, the Chairman of the East India Company." The CHAIRMAN shortly returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said that he was confident what he was about to propose would meet with their entire approbation. It was the health of Lord Hardinge, late Governor-General of India, the soldier as well as the statesman—(Loud cheers)—the gallant comrade of Lord Gough, in one of the greatest battles which had ever been fought in India. He could never speak of the names of those great chiefs without bringing to his recollection the field of Feroze shah.—(Cheers.) He there saw the Governor-Gene ral of India laying aside his supreme power, and petitioning to serve as second in command in his own army—affording one of the most illustrious examples of subordination which was due to the discipline of the army, and that devotion, which had never been surpassed, to the interests and welfare of the country. (Cheers.) The service was nobly offered, and was as generously accepted. In war, as in peace, Lord llardinge has ever applied his most intelligent mind with the greatest ztal and energy in the service of the country. Lord Hardinge, too, bad been a most faithful servant of the E'iat India Company. They esteemed and honoured him much, and he was sure there was not an individual in that great assembly ho would not heartily join him in drinking the health of Lord Viscount Hardinge.—(Applause.) Lord HARDINGE than rose and said—My Lords and gentlemen, I very much thank you for the honour you have dune me, in drinking my health on an occasion when we are met to do honour to Lord Gough for his glorious achievements in I.:dia. Under ordinary circumstances, I should have been content to have parsed over in silence any military operations of mine, or the merits of my superior general efficer ; but I think I am justified in making ;some comments on my Noble Friend's campaigns, be cause I was myself an eye-witness of his conduct. —(hear, hear.) I had frequent opportunities of observing the conduct of my Noble Friend, his ardent devotion to the service, in ail those dif ferent actions into which he led the army, and out of which he brought them with the greatest credit and honour. My Lords and gentlemen, I must say that my Noble Friend had to encounter difficulties of no ordinary character, and no common enemy, for the enemy he was opposed to was the bravest and the most warlike the- British army had ever encountered in India.—(Loud and continued cheers.) It was not a band of military adventurers, drawn together for the sake of pay, but a military nation—an army bound and knit together by the strongest feelings of na tionality and animated by religious enthusiasm—an army that was composed of a large number of disciplined soldiers, brought to a high state of per fection by foreign offi:ers, and with a field of artillery more powerful than that possessed by any European nation, not only in the number of the artillery, but also in the calibre of the guns. I need not say that in the course of that campaign the army commanded by Lord Gough captured 2.50 guns, of which a large proportion were nine pounders, and many eighteen. pounders ; and we all know how bravely and skill fully these guns were served. My Noble Friend, therefore, had to encounter not an ordinary army, ' but one of the bravest that India had ever seen; and in the face of more difficulties, by the unconquerable spirit and attachment of his army, and by the confi dence he inspired in that army, he achieved a most glorious conquest, and my Noble Friend is now this day in the proud position of receiving his just reward.— (Great cheering.) lam in the presence of a great number of officers of the East Indian army, and I never can, either on the present or any other occa sion, fail to express the admiration which I feel for that army. Whether I epeuk of the common soldiers, their bravery, discipline and fidelity, or whether I speak of their officers—that army has won for itself a European reputation; its daring deeds have been the admiration of this country; and no. ortion of the European army can boast of more distinguished officers than the East Indian army. Let me state the names of those who have recently distinguished them selves—the names of Pollock, Knott, Gilbert, Littler, Broadfoot, and Lawrence; or, coming to those who were connected with her Majesty's service, I may refer to the names of Gough, Napier, Sale, and Smith. _ (Cheers.) But there is one name which I have not yet mentioned, And to which I must take the lib e rty o f drawing your attention this evening —I allude to my ga ll an t and youthful friend Major Edwardes.— (Loud cheers.) During the recent operations at Moultan, where he served with credit and dis tinction, when his Seikh troops mutinied and de serted him ' he, with the readines s o f a ga ll an t so l d i er, collected a band of other troops, natives of the country, thus showing what a determined resolution could effect, and that a gallant officer, wherever he was placed, would always be in a position to do the State some service. —(Cheers.) Five years ago I had the satisfaction of appointing him to a political depart ment, when he was Aide-de-camp to Lord Gough; but, knowing my young friend well, I am slue be would rather I should descant on the me:its of others then on his own. There were other subalterns— Nkholson, Pollock, T.tylor, Laiie—all officer; of the most proturstn reputation. After tne culogiurns which ANT have heard pused upon my N6ble Friend by the Fiat Minister of the Crown and by Sir Ro• bert Peel, I feel that it would be unbecoming in me to say :more than this—that my Noble Friend has fought more battles and won mow victories in. India thin any of his predecessor „ .—(Cheers.) As for any - belf, I beg to return to the Cnairman my most grate ful thanks for the honour he has done me, and I. hope that Lord Dalhousie,. who to now at the bead of the Government in India. will be able to consolidate the British power by a wise administration of the affairs of the Punjaub, and by measures calculated by peace ful means to ensure prosperity and tranquillity. The CHAIRHAIq then proposed "The health of the Marquis of Dalhousie and the Civil Service of India." Sir STEPHEN LUSHUNGTON returned thanks. Lord GOUtitt then rose, and said that he bad a toast to propose which he was sure would be received w ith the same cordiality as that which he felt in pro. . Nu.17,940.] LONDON, MONDAY .

" I know you have never had occasion to take lair mails, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercysto any fliend who suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

MELANCHOLY OCCURBENCE.—An event has just occurred in the town of Reading which has caused a painful sensation among the inhabitants. Mr. John Weedon, late mayor of the town, on Tuesday evening last, after transacting the business of the day, went out to take his usual walk. As he did not return, and no tidings were beard of him, a diligent search was made, and yesterday morning his body was found in the River Kennett, about 50 yards below the Basingstoke Railway bridge. His gold watch, purse, pencilcase, and papers were found on his person. Mr. Weedon practised as a solicitor for many years, and only a few months ago re tired from business.

On Saturday evening the directors of the Best India Company gave a banquet to Lord Gough, the late Commander-in-Chief in India, in honour of his return from that scene of his hard-fought fields and splendid victories. The banquet took place in the London Tavern, and was probably the most superb ever given in the city of London. The vast resources of the establishment of Messrs. Bathe and Co. were called into full requisition, and the room literally blazed with the gold and silver gilt plate which met the eye in every direction. The most magnificent pieces were immediately in front of the chairman, including two spirited groups—one representing the well-known incident of King Robert Bruce attacked by assassins, the other taken from a scene nt the battle of Nieuport, where Prince Maurice of Nassau broke the military power of Spain. In the centre of these stood a winged " Victory," beautifully executed in frosted silver, bearing in her left hand a palm, and in her right holding forth a laurel wreath, which, by an inge nious movement, was most appropriately turned to wards the veteran guest at the moment of his rising to return thanks. There were besides several most unique flagons, tazzio, and dishes, formerly the pro perty of the late Queen Dowager, his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl of Lichfield, and other distinguished persons. The wines were most rare and curious ; the cham • pagne, claret, and burgundy once formed the choicest portion of the stores of the exiled Royal Family of France ; the hock the most celebrated vintage of Johannisburg. The band of the Guards was in one portion of the gallery. The other portion was occupied by Lady Gough and several other ladies of distinction. Soon after seven o'clock, Sir Archibald Galloway, the Chairman of the East India Company, entered the room, followed immediately by the noble guest of the evening. Lord Gough looked extremely well. The weight of years and the hardships of campaigning, though they have whitened his head, have laid no touch on his noble bearing, his erect military air, and his well-knit sinewy frame. He was received on taking his seat with great cheering. Second in interest to the hero of so many battles was the gal - lent Major Edwardes, who sat in the centre of the room ; a stout and well-proportioned soldier, with a quick piercing eye, a nose cast in the true Welling tonian mould, and a beard that a Jewish high priest or a Mohammedan moollah might envy.: The chair was filled by Major-General Sir Archi bald Galloway, K.C.8., Chairman of the East India Company. On the right of the chairman were Vis count Gough, the Marquis of Westminster, the Mar quis of Breadalbane, Earl Grey, Lord John Russell, Viscount Hardinge, Hon. Captain Gough, Sir Robert Campbell, Bart., Right Hon. Fox Maude, Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Right Hon. Edward Ellice, Right Hon. Stephen Lushing ton, Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., Sir James Weir Hogg, Bart., Sir James Macdonald, G.C.8., Sir Charles Malcolm, and the Solicitor •General. On the left of the chairman were Mr. John Shepherd, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, the deputy chairman of the Company, Sir William Gomm, the Earl of Clare, Viscount Jocelyn, Mr. Charles Mills, the Right Ho nou r a ble the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land, Right Hon. Sir Frederick Adam, G.C.B , Right Hon. Richard Lelor Sheil, M.P., Right Honourable Sir W. Somerville, M.P., Sir Thomas, M'Mahon, Sir James L. Lushington, G.C.8., Sir James Macdon • nell, K.C.8., Sir John Doveton, Sir George Clerk, M.P., and Sir Robert Maddock. Amongst the com pany were also—Hon. C. Hardinge, Hon. Major West, Hon. G. E. Elliot, Hon. W. L. Melville, Sir James Wigram, Right Hon. P. R. Lushington, Mr. Henry Alexander, Mr. Henry Shank, Hon. Captain Hardinge, Right Hon. H. Mackenzie, Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., M.P., Right lion. Sir G. Arthur, Sir Benjamin Brooke, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P., Sir William Morrison, K.C.8., Sir Charles Parker, K.C.8., Sir H. Willock, Sir Charles Trevelyan, K.C.8., Sir F. Smith, Sir E. Stanniel, Sir James Campbell, Sir Emerson Tennent, Mr. John Cotton, Mr. William Butterworth Baillie, Etc. &c. Among the noblemen and gentlemen who were invited to the banquet, but who were unable to be present, were the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Ripon, and Sir George Grey. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—My • Lords and gen tlemen, the East India Compaiiyhas ever been re markable for its loyalty and devotion to the Crown. It is, therefore, with high satisfaction that I propose to you " The health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen."— (Enthusiastic cheering.) 'The CHAIRMAN again rose and said—My Lords and gentlemen, I am now about to propose to you a toast which I am sure will he received by you all with appplause. It is " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert,land the rest of the Royal Family." My Lords and gentlemen, the illustrious Consort'of her Most Gracious Majesty, and her royal offsprini, must be objects of the deepest interest to every loyal sub ject. And when we see the illustrious Prince de taching himself from every political party, and doing his utmost to promote the interests and welfare of his country; when we see him patronising exhibitions which have for their object the benefit of the poorer classes of our fellow-subjects, and at the same time aErand pe s a c c h e e a m n e d , which must tend to enhance assisting in the future prosperity of his own and all foreign countries — my L or d s and gentlemen, I say, when we see our nobl e P r i nce thus occupying his time in seeking the good of his countrymen, we must deeply admire his benevolent disposition.—(Hear, hear.) My Lords and gentlemen, I need say no more in commendation of a Prince who is known and ap preciated by all. I beg to propose to you " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family."-- (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—My Lords and gentlemen , we are assembled here thi s even i ng t o do honour to one of the bravest and mo s t di st i ngu i s h e d soldiers of the British army—(Cheers)— w h o , as commander, has fought and conquered in more battles than any gene ral who has ever been in Asia—battles, the results of which, in importance to the British nation, are only second to those of the illustrious chief whose achieve ments have never been equalled.—(Cheers.) I rise to propose to you the health of Lord Viscount Gough restored to his country, by the blessing of Pro vidence, after a long and proud career of military glory. My Lords and gentlemen, it is unnecessary ;or me in this large assemblage to detail to you the services of Lord Gough ; they are identified with the imperishable records of the British army. Full thirty times and more has Lord Gough fought for this coun try, and in many of our greatest battles.—(Loud cheers.) Look at these glorious records. I believe there are few names entered there by that illustrious chief, who has in them become the unconscious his torian of his own greatness more feettrently than Lord Gough and his _gallant 87th Regiment, who cap tured -the first eagle and the first banner of France. (Loud cheers.) But, my Lords and gentlemen, it is to Lord Gough's services in that quarter of the world in which we, the East India Company, are more particularly interested, that I would claim your attention. Lord Gough has been a faith ful servant to the East India Company. He has served the Government of India as Commander-in- Chief of our army with his whole heart, with entire devotion, with that singleness of mind which is pe culiar to him, with that fortitude and perseverance which demand from its members their deepest ac knowledgment. My Lords and gentlemen,: China —the vast empire of China—submitted to his vic torious arms ; and in India he has gained a magnificent kingdom for the British Crown.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) The Gallant Chairman then turned to Lord Gough and addressed him as follows :—My Lord Gough, in the name of the East India Company I have the highest gratification in expressing to you their cordial acknowledgments for the eminent services which you have rendered to them.—(Hear, hear.) In their names I welcome you back to your native land ; and I am sure there is no individual present in this brilliant assemblage who will not unite with me in the fervent prayer that you will long live to enjoy the well-deserved honours conferred upon you by a gracious Sovereign and a grateful country. My Lords and gentlemen, I beg to propose to you "The health of Lord Viscount Gough," with all the honours. This toast was received with loud and con • tinuous cheering. Lord Gouen rose and was received with loud cheers. He was fer a few moments so overpowered by his feelings as to be unable to proceed ; recovering himself, he said—Mr. Chairman, my Lords, and gen tlemen, I thank you warmly and sincerely for the honour you have done me. To you, Mr. Chairman, my especial thanks are due fur the kind and too flattering manner in which you have expressed your opinion of my services; and to this company they are also due for the way in which they have recipro cated your expression. My Lords and gentlemen, my thanks are also due, eminently due, to my country for the flattering and g ratif y ip g manner in which I have been received on my return :home. They are pre-eminently du e for the continuance of that kindness which has from the first been shown tome. They are are also due to the honourable individuals whom I have now the honou r to address—a bod y whom for thirteen years I have served—a body in the administration of whose affairs over a mighty kingdom I my services have been employed—a body who have kindly supported me throughout an arduous struggle in their service, and for theirsupport I c annot be toa grate ful. By their help I have watched over, and I hope with success, that great army which they have underthem in India, whose interests I practically know they have so much at heart—an army which has for years dii tinguished itself, has been an honour to its country, and a pride to him who commands it.—(Loud cheers.) It is to me, therefore, a gratification beyond anything I can express, the gratification I now feel fir the honour you have done me.—(Cheers.) After an ab sence of thirteen years, I return to my native country to pass the remainder of my days in other duties, and I cannot but feel grateful for the welcome that country bestows on my return, and to the Sovereign for the honoured' position I now occupy.—(Cheers.) I have great gratification in seeing around me so many who have served in the same sphere with my self with such credit and honour to themselves. I need not instance your chairman, who has partici- pated i❑ those deeds which will be hauled down to posterity, and by which the Indian army has so nobly supported the honour of this country, and upheld the traditions of her soldiers.—(Cheers.) There are around me many who have served in that army with credit that never can be surpassed. lam happy to see one individual present who participated with me in the recent campaign, and who has already re ceived your approbation. I would not pass over, nor could I do so if I would, the services of Viscount Hardinge—(Loud cheers)—for those services are too well known to his country—(Cheers)—and the greatest man of the age—the man whose appeals, when he makes them, are never forgotten—has borne his high testimony to the gallantry and skill of that noble individual. May his words never be fOrgotten when he expressed a hope that others would follow the distinguished services performed by that Noble Lord, who, casting aside the high position he held as a ruler, threw himself into the ranks of the army, commanding the left brigade, led it as an Indian army ever will be led when following a man who points them to con quest and to honour.—(Cheers.) I feel I am in fringing on your time, and that I am not adequate as a soldier to convey to you what a soldier feels. I cannot, however, allow the opportunity to pass with out adverting to another individual connected with the sister service, who nobly supported me, who nobly did his duty to his Commander-in-Chief—Sir William Parke,—(Cheers)—a man I am happy to re cognise as one of my friends. On all occasions I found him ready to support me, not only in the posi tion of commander of the naval force, but I found him at my side, when duties on shore were to be under taken, when he nobly led on his detachment to honour and glory. He nobly supported his country's fame, and nobly supported the individual who now has the honour to address you. Gentlemen, I again thank you for the honour you have done me, and I wish it were in my power to express all my feelings.— (Loud cheers.) _ _ The CHAIRMAN said—l beg now to propose to you the great national toast of the country, "The Navy of England."—(Loud cheers.) „I believe there are few toasts more welcome than the toast of the British navy.—(Hear, hear.) We feel secure under its pro tection, and the mind reverts to those gallant deeds which have been performed by the navy of England, and which have thrown a lustre on the British Crown. It is true that the navy has had of late years little oppor tunity of distinguishing itself, bat I am convinced that the wooden walls of old England are as firm and as solid as ever they were, and I feel fully assured that if the occasion should arise it will be manned by as brave seamen as ever manned the British fleet.— (Cheers.) I regret to say that we are deprived this evening of the presence of the First Lord of the Admiralty, but we have a gallant Admiral present, Sir Charles Malcolm, who will speak for himself— (Hear, hear)—and I am sure be will speak for the British navy. I beg to give you the English navy, and I shall couple it with the name of Sir Charles Malcolm.—(Loud cheers.) Sir C. MALcoLla returned thanks. He thanked the company for the handsome and gratifying man ner in which they had alluded to the services of the British navy. He would say with confidence, and he was sure they would all agree with him, that the British navy, from everything he had seen down to the present hour, would deserve the confidence that the country had always reposed in it.—(Great cheer ing.) He would only state one circumstance to show the spirit and high feeling that still character ised it. In fitting out the ships to go to the Arctic seas to search for that great and good man Sir John Franklin, crowds came forward and volunteered to go upon that desperate service, for it was nothing else, as the orders were to push in through everything, and at all risks to gain their ends or perish in the at tempt.—(Loud cheers.) Men of all ranks had come nobly forward from the highest to the lowest. One gallant and active young officer entreated and prayed to be allowed to go, and he regretted that his services had not been accepted, although a good man had been chosen. He would now, considering the place in which he stood, and the company whom he was addressing, say one word on their own navy. He had the honour and the pleasure of commanding the Indian navy for a period of ten years. It was ten years certainly of peace ; but during that ten years let any man look at the services rendered by the Indian navy in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean, and they would admit that it had done very important service. The hydrographer of the Admiralty would bear testimony to the surveys they had made, and their contributions to the Geo graphical Society in the history and statistics of those countries, which were until then almost unknown.— (Cheers.) When the war broke out in China, his Gallant Friend Sir W. Parker went there in com mand of the navy, and its services there were well known to many of their honourable guests serving under him.—(Hear, hear.) Ha need only refer to Captain Perry and Captain Powell, who had been so highly eulogised by Lord Dalhousie, and to Captain Christopher, who lost his life in the trenches of Moultan in dragging up the guns and bringing his men into the heat of the action.—(Loud cheers.) Air—" Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said—l have now the honour of proposing to you the other national toast, which is equally acceptable to every English man—it is, " The Duke of Wellington and the Army."—(Great cheering.) I did expect until the very last hour that we should have been honoured by the presence of the illustrious Duke, but unavoidable circumstances have prevented him. I should have regretted his Grace's absence still more if I had not, on a late occasion, in the presence of the united ser vice of England, heard from the lips of his Grace the highest encomiums upon the glorious services of Lord Gough.—(Great applause.) The achievements of the British army under its illustrious chief have filled the pages of our history, and our noble and distinguished guest has demonstrated to us, that in the most dis tant lands the British army 14. maintains its former renown.—(Loud cheers.) We are honoured this evening by the presence of a most illustrious mem ber of that army, General Sir Frederick Adam, and in proposing the health of the Duke of Wellington and the army, I shall couple with it the name of Sir Frederick Adam.—(Cheers.) Sir FREDERICK ADAM said he felt highly honoured, although it was owing to an accidental circumstance, that he was called upon to return thanks for the army. It was somewhat unfortunate for him that he stood there instead of the great and illustrious man whose name had been mentioned, as he was very in competent and unfit to impress the company with the services of the British army. He was delighted with having recently had the honour of forming an ac quaintance with Lord Gough, whose career in early life be had well watched, and whose later deeds he concurred with every person in thinking covered him with imperishable renown.—(Cheers.) _ _ e Ca seeingaA N said the r t e h ey t h e h a F d i t r h s a t t evening the sa tisfaction Minister of the Crown and his colleagues. They had come to do honour to his noble and gallant friend Lord Gough, and he begged to express his humble thanks to the Noble Lord for his goodness in attending there that evening. When he considered the arduous duties of those distinguished men—when he considered the overwhelming responsibility of the First Minister of the Crown of England—of free but troublesome Eng land—(Hear, hear)—when he saw them devoting their utmost attention in the Cabinet and in the Senate to the discharge of their great and important duties, they must feel, upon occa>ions of that kind, that they were indebted to them for their zeal and the manner in which they so consistently and ear nestly discharged their duties.—(Cheers.) Tne pre sent was neither the time nor the place to express any opinion on political subjects.—(Hear, hear.) But he did know, that whereas a neighbouring dynasty had fallen—whereas every kingdom of Europe bad been shaken to its foundation —whereas in their own country demagogues and evil and deceitful men had done their utmost to disturb its tranquillity, the measures of her Majesty's Government had secured to it peace and growing prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) He begged leave to propose to them the " Health of Lord John Russell and ber Majesty's Ministers.') Lord Joux RUSSELL rose and said—My Lords and gentlemen, I rise in my own name and that of my colleagues, to return you my best thanks for the honour you have done us in drinking our healths on this occasion. You, Sir, have rightly said that this is not the occasion to entertain politicall questions, and I will say at once that our object in coaling hither was to pay our tribute of homage, and respect, and admiration to the Okla servict-s of Lord Gough.—(Great cheering.) It has been my fortune during a part of the glorious career of Lord Gough to have been a❑ adviser of the Crown, and I have witnessed with admiration the courage, the constancy, and the perseverance which has enabled him to over come difficulties of no ordinary characte3r.—(Hear, hear.) And, gentlemen, you will permit me to say, as a lover of peace and its fruits, that I consider that, the necessity fur war having once occurred, the man who conducts the army to victory, who crowns the arms of his country with success, and who obliges the enemy to ask fur terms, is the man who is the true friend of peace.—(Cheer.) No man would willingly, if he has a right conscience and a good understand ing, encounter those miseries of mankind which at tend upon war; and I have had occasion in this room, when I have been the guest of the Etst India Com pany, to express my admiration of the forbearance shown by my Noble Friend (Lord Hardinge) who now sits on my right hand—(Loud cheers)—in not encountering the evils of war until they were abso lutely forced upon him by the necessities of his posi tion.—(Hear, hear.) But I say that, when the ne cessity bas once been incurred, the man who crowns the arms of his country with brilliant victories, and thus brings those evils to a speedy termination, is the true lover of peace—(Cheers)--and in him we ought to honour not merely the successful warrior; but the man by whose means the deserted village has been re. peopled, the man by whom the abandoned province has been restored, the man by whom the desolated country again wears the smiling aspect of industry and peace.—(Cheers.) It has been the fortune of Lord Gough, during a considerable number of years, to carry on the service of his country in wars of the most remarkable character. He has been engaged in war against the Chinese empire. He has lately added to our Indian territories the dominion of the Pun- 1 _ sub.—(Hear, hear.) With these wars his name will be associated to all posterity; and, let me add, as the Gallant Admiral has alluded, in the speech he made to-night, to the Arctic expedition, that we see con stantly before us, year after year, as the occasions arise, whether in the midst of burning climes, or whether in the vicinity of the Pole, whatever may be the nature of the difficulty, that the courage of En glishmen carries them through those difficulties, and claims the admiration of their country in all time.—(Great cheering.) The CIiAIHMAN then rose, and said be wished to propose to them the " Health of the Right Honour able the President of the India Board, Sir John Cam Mobhouse," of whose presence, he grieved to say, they were disappointed that evening ; and he lamented it the more on account of the cause that occasioned his absence. Thrice had Sir John Hob house been called to the councils of his Sovereign as Minister for India, and in the most momentous period in the history of that country. If the people of India had progressed in civilization, if wisdom had prevailed in her councils, and if victory had crowned her arms, then Sir John Hobhouse, the President of the India Board, and those who had assisted him, were entitled to all praise.—(Cheers.) Mr. ELLIOT, Secretary to the India Board, re turned thanks on behalf of Sir J. Hobhouse, who, he regretted to say, had been compelled to be absent from indisposition. The CumestAx then gave " The health of the Marquis of Westminster and the House of Lords." Whether they considered its high dignity, or the im portant:station it held in the institutions of the country, or whether they considered the talent it contained, and, above all, when they considered its patriotism, they must all admit that it was an assembly that never had its equal in any age or country.—(Cheers.) The House of Lords was the strong tower and the citadel upon which depended the liberties of England— (Cheers)—and in doing honour to that august as sembly it was a high satisfaction to name in connec tion with it a nobleman who held so distinguished a position in it as the Marquis of Westminster. The Marquis of NVESTMINSTER returned thanks. The House of Lords had always shown its readiness to sacrifice its olvt feelings to the good of the country and upon the shrine of public utility. Upon all •oc casions it bad been desirous of uniting itself with the feelings and wishes of the people of England, and on no occasion had it united more with those feelings and wishes than when it recorded its unanimous vote of thanks to the Noble Lord and his gallant army.— (Loud cheers.) They bad recorded that vote, as had been stated by the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell), not from any love of war or desire of bloodshed, but because they were anxious to pass their days in tran quillity and their nights in peace, because they were anxious not to see the invaders' sword gleim through their sacred isle; but, owing to that protection which was cast around them by the gallantry of the soldiers of that country and of India, they were reaping a glorious harvest of victory at the time, and of lasting peace hereafter, that would prove of the most substantial benefit to the general interests of the country.—(Loud cheers.) The country looked not only with admiration on the gallant conduct of these men, and the glorious victories they had achieved, but it looked also with admiration at the unanimity and good feeling of the two Noble Lords whom they had now the happiness of seeing present, showing to the world how friendship united would prove of value not only to the individuals themselves, but to the armies which they commanded, showing also an example to the world of friendship, and of that love of country and of glory which united these two noblemen—(Loud cheers.) Ile had ventured to make these remarks, not because he was the first in rank, except from the position which he happened now to have the hononr of holding— (Hear, hear) — and he must say it was an honour, notwithstanding the remarks that had been made respecting him, be cause he was persuaded there was nut one then pre tent who would not be ready to do his utmost for the service of her Majesty and to maintain the dignity and the honour of the Crown, and to harmonize with all the civil establishments of the country. Whatever a man's position might be, or whatever grade in society he might belong to, it was his duty, and in cumbent upon him, if called upon, to do all that he could to promote these objects—(hear, hear.) In the name of the House of Lords and his own he again returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that the next toast he had to propose was, " Tue health of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel and the House of Com mons."—(Loud cheering.) It had always been a principle with the East India Company, while they cherished an ardent attachment to the Crown and to the constitution of their country, to keep aloof from political party and political influences. It was thus, he was persuaded, they had maintained their inde pendence—it was thus that, f‘ee from political bias, they were enabled to bestow the utmost atten . tion on the high and important duties which they were called on to perform—it was thus they were enabled, with feelings of the deepest gratitude, to ac knowledge the eminent services of distinguished statesmen, whatever their political opinion might be— it was thus that he at that moment, while rendering his humble thanks to her Majesty's present Ministry, brought forward the names of that great, that illus trious statesman, whom he had already mentioned— (Loud cheers.) It was not for him (the chairman) to express any political sentiments, but he firmly be lieved that the Administration that preceeded th pre sent, and the present which succeeded the last, were equally and alike influenced by the highest and noblest considerations for the honour and interests of the country.—(Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL—My Lords and gentlemen, I am ex tremely grateful to you for the compliment you have paid me—a compliment not the less welcome, because nothing could have been m ore unexpected, being generally reserved for those filling the highest offices of the State ; or, as on occasions of this kind, imme diately, connected with the East India Company. It has been my good fortune, at no very remote period, to be connected with the East India Company, by official relations of a confidential character, during a critical period of Indian history ; and must say, recollecting the intercourse I have had with the director, and the opportunities I have had of witnessing the skill and officers employed in its service, as well as the fidelity and zeal, and singular ability of the civil servants mind an im pression of the military the company—they have left on my termination pct threesesteem m ufficla h r c h on nee that with them.—(Cheers.) I catinot be indifferent at'ci of e to the events of th,s day. I cannot witness vbitliout will satisfaction this tribute of public esteem and grati tudelperuegss ion survive of which has been paid to the services of Lurd Gough. It has been my good fortune, ou many occasions, either to propose or to concur in public testimonies of respect which have been offered to him by the House of Commons ; and I must say, that at no period of his career did I despair of ultimate success.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) I had a just confidence in his early vic tories, in his indomitable valour, in his known skill, constancy, and perseverance; and I felt that what ever might be the temporary difficulties with which he was embarrassed, they would be overcome by the skill and valour of himself and his glorious compa nions in arms, and by the constancy, resolution, and discipline of the army which he commanded.— (Chew.)
