the hearts of his fellow-countrymen ; tay, he might venture
to ray that as long a. the British Empire endured the name of
Wellington would be held in great admiration. Whether we
regard him as statesmen orso dier, his Maims challenge our ad-
miration. Opinions might differ as to the policy of the meatures
the Duke introduced ma statesman ; but all willingly do homage
to the genius of the great soldier who an nobly sustained the
credit of the British arms in Europe and India, and whose
earnest desire was to maintain the dtnity of his Noy
and the honour of the people. The We end WOO. of Tiu
ouch
man as this must be interesting to every audience computed
of Englithmen and Englishwomen. He believed they would
•join with him in anticipating • very in'eresting lecture on
this subject: Mr. Milledge sAd tide was his first attempt at
lecturing, and he naked to be excused be any error. He
had drawn his facts from Alison, Miler, Victor Hugo, and other
'Whore. After relating the early life and Weer of
Wellington, he gave an interesting account of his wars
in India with nyder All Tippo Sahib and the brigands the
assumed to succeed them. In the description of the Amnia
with Tipp*. accurate and clear explanation was given of the
pmition of Seringspotarn, the fortrees-capital of Mysore, and
sketched the storming of the place in • lucid MONO% after
which he did justice to Wellesley's efforts to defend the inhabi-
tant. from the outrages of the soldiery. He paned rather
lightly °eolith. Mahratta struggle and the great battle of
Amy., in which the Engliah were only as one against ten 0 -
their enemies, who had been disciplined by the French. Load _
ins us quickly through scenes which consolkbAed the British
supremacy in Europe, Mr. Milledge mentioned the different
ranks and poet. which Arthur Wellesley so ably filled. The
general's career in Europe was then dwell, upon, his fine tervices
otroloogiba French,and his entry into Parlieusent.The Peninsular
War Main brought hint on the scene of battle, and his amen-
don to the chief command was sketched, also the victories
which reflected such glory on British valour and discipline in
Portugal and Spain. For Talavera Wellesley was created a
peer of the realm, received the thanks of Parliament, and an
annuity of LILCO°. Among the great general's victories was
that of Album, in which the Royal Fusiliers and the 61st
RN. Smoot were engaged and won abundant laurels. and Mr.
Miliedge remarked on the honour affordal to Weymouth by
being the place where these brave troops had taken up their
quarter.. The battles of Salamanca and T01110%190 WOW for
the general the titles of Marquis of Down and Duke of Welling-
ton. After touching but slightly on the battle of Waterloo,
the honours won by the Duke war spoken of, and next
his parliementary career. Yr. Milledgo deecriblng him
as • faithful soldier, • modest hero, • sincere friend to the
Sherrie. of the country and a respectful aubj.-t. A few
anecd,itee characteristic of the Duke were given and his death
described, end Mr. Milledge concluded with some remarks me
his simple and straightforward character:— Tha Chairmen pro-
posed • vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was heartily
given, and the audience deputed, feeling that Mr: Milledge
