ing the arduous nature of your lordship's duties, and the
momentous responsibility of a British Minister at this crisis,

Lord PALMERSTON then rue and was received with loud'
cheers. On behalf of Lady Palmerston and bimetal' he
begged to return their most sincere thanks for the very kind
reception they had given them, sad also for the address Mr.

did he in the slightest degree anticipate the ezumnins,

It was true that the war was at first encumbered by great
difficulties. This country bad for a greet length of time been
happily enjoying the tranquillity and repass of puns; and
it would easily be supposed that when suddenly called upon
to send a large fleet and an army to the ether ride of the
globe, to compete with an enemy fully prepared for any
emergeney—au enemy who, in time of pacer, bad kept
up a war department upon a most riptide sale, and
had been incessant in his endeavours to meet say opposition
to his schemes of aggrandisement that might ariee—k might'
readily be supposed that many difficulties would supervene,
and much suffering and privation be endured. (Hear,
hear.) The last few months had, however set all these
matters right, and he was happy to say that the last u-
nman received showed that never was an rimy is a better
physical condition, or more inspired by a noble and'gallant
spirit, or more prepared for any and every emergency that
the muse of events might give rise to. (Cheers.) The
other day he had the pleasure of ening an eminent
medical man, and one of the staff of civilians who
bad been sent to the Crimea to impact the hos-
pitals, and examine into the physical trosdities ef
the army. That eminent man stated that the hew
pink were is the nest admirable oonditiow—tnat, hi feat,

have sustained great losses ; but it is a immolation to Pas
