THE EDINBURGH BANQUET TO THE

78TH HIGHLANDERS.

This grand banquet, the preparations for which
have excited so much interest in Edinburgh, duly
took place oh Tuesday evening.
The floor of the hall was divided into nine
tables runninglongtitudinally, and, including those
at the sides, were laid out for upwards of 1,400
persons, comprising both the entertainers and
their gallant guests. At about five o'clock the
troops entered the hall, headed by six pipers,
and they were received by the whole company
standing—the ladies waving their handkerchiefs,
and the gentle Men cheering lustily.
The Lord Provost occupied the chair, and was
supported on the right by Viscount Melville, Sir
J. Douglas, K.C.8., Sir Hew Dalrymple, Sir John
Richardson, Bart. Captain D'Eyncourt ; and on
the left by Vice:Admiral Hope Johnstone, Sir
James Baird, Col. Walter Haniilton, C:B., Col.
Richardson Robertson, C. 8., Col. M'lntyre, and
Dr. Lee, After the usual loyal toasts,
The Chairman rose amid great applause to pro-
pose the toast of the evening, "The 78th High-
landers," coupling the toast with the name of
Colonel Ewart, who, though not in command of
the 78th till recently, was with the 93rd regiment
at the final relief of Lucknow, and wears an his
breast tokens of the valour he has, both in the
Crimea and in India, so nobly displayed. (The
toast was responded to with the greatest enthu-
siasm, cheer succeeding cheer for several minutes.)
Colonel Ewart, in reply, Said—My Lord Pro-
vost, ladies, and gentlemen, in the name of the
officers of the 78th Highlanders, I return you our
warmest thanks for the .kind and hearty Manner
in which you have drunk our health. My Fallant
friend and comrade, Sergeant-Pocock, will the
hpresently to thank you for the way in which you
ave drunk the healths of the non-commissioned
officers and . men. Yon have here to-day Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Henry Hamilton, Lieutenant-
Colonel M'lntyre, and Lieutenant-Colonel Lock-
hart—all of Whom, at different times, commanded
the 78th in action. I have been asked how many
are here today who fought with the 78th in
India ; and I am proud and happy to say that
there are around me fifteen officers and about 350
men who fought abroad. (Loud and continued
cheering.)
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Hamiltim said
Thirty years ago, in my boyhood, T joined the
ranks of the 78th Highlanders. (great cheer.
ing.) I have served With them from that hour
to the present(hear, and renewed cheering)—thus
passing amongst them the best years of my youth
and inanhcbd ; and f have ever found with them
a happy moveable home. (Continued cheering.)
That the 78th Highlanders should have been able
under circumstances of difficulty to do their duty in
a way te elicit your approval, must ever be amongst
them a source of deep gratitude, and thankfulness
to Him who alone teaches the hand to war and the
fingers to fight.' I tray 'be permitted to observe
that your kindness to the 78th syill.have a wider
effect—will speak to a wider cirele—than, per-
haps, you originally intended. (Hear, hear.) It
will tell the British. soldier at large, the British
army in general, and those that have not yet
joined the ranks of the army, that under no
possible circumstances, no lapse of time or dis-
tance of space will the British soldier ever cease
to be an object of interest and regard to his
fellow.-countrymen at home. (Loud cheers.) I
beg to return our sincere thanks for the honour
you have done its, (Cheers.)
Sergeant Major Pocock nett replied on, behalf
of the non-^omeilissioned officers and privates.
II said Lord Provost, ladies, and gentle
men-4n tile i,Aarne of the non-commissioned officers
and Men of the 78th Highlanders, I return you
our most, sincere, most grateful thanks, for the
great honour you have this day conferred upon
us, (Cheers). I assure you we feel deely sen-
sible of the undeserved kindness (cries of , no,
no) which has everywhere been bestowed upon
us. In looking around there seems to me to beonly
one thing wanting to make yoqr 10,10 reception
of us here to-day complete, and ;hat is the pre-
sence of one who has 'Bared with us most' nobly
the fatigues and dangers of war—whose foot has
led us to victory, and whose image is enshrined
beneath those ribands which adorn the breasts of
many here—l mean Outrarn—(tremendors cheer-
ing)—thrtt he should now be sharing our honours
with us as he has often-partaken our toils. AAay
he soon return to his honoured met* to receive
that soldier's welcome which -Scotland this day
extends to her returning sons. (cheers).
