elScient they were taught dories the ley rigours of winter
to mast fictitious masts erected in their !Amchitka', and
to imagine they were climbing up the rigging of the fleet—
(' lesigb)—they have sees that fleet cooped up igno-
misiovely in its harbour and its docks, not daring to fast the
allied squadrons, which, allow me to my,
superior is numbers to the Russians, however superior in
other respects on which victory depends. (Cheers.) They
have had the mortileatiou of seeing that &titbit expenditure
sad tremble was frailties when the momeat CMG is which a
Hest might ever be useful. They have seen in the Baltic the
humiliation attending *instate of things. They have bed
their commerce crippled and greatly reduced. La the Black
Sea they have seen a fleet which not keg ago proudly swag-
prod over the waves of the Busing, and whose meat *glo-
riosa aehleveassat was the barbarous outrage of Shoot e—
(insa& than)—they have seen that fleet, not captured in
aa ores battle, Of yielding after a brave resisteass to •
superior teem a autopsies/. bat Oohing under the band
of Its own pomander, and leaving nothing but the
topmasts stinking out of the water, as marks of
the degradaties to which they have been subjected.
(Chase.) They have sees this great seminal—this vast
capital of widish they were I. p:oud, but of which they
were so chary that no prying stranger was ever allowed to
eater its walls, so that the only Begliehmen that has ever
given say account of it was compelled to find his way within
its gates disguised as • peasant and covered over in • cart
full of hay—(a laugh)—they have seen, I my, this great
organ!, which they so studiously kept from the eyes of
jealous strangers, expo ed, not to the eyes, but to the
possession of an seamy, after having vainly endeavoured
for twelve months to defend it. (Cheers.) Beadsmen, we
have no doubt la many respects felt the unavoidable pres-
sure of war ; but those wild, raging fires that have lit the
arsenal of Bassin have reduced themselves simply ,ct thou
mitigated lights which acoompeny the seeming rejoicings
of a town, and the oaly seise of amen which has
echoed in our ears has sot been the mason that
has shaken the walls of Sebastopol, but those occasional
discharges which are the tokens of sitiosal rejoicing.

and hope that a muse which has been so ably supported—a
team which is No nobly defended—must preeper la the cad,
as it has pampered ia the beginning; sad I may say there
is hardly aa Luaus In history of as army which in a
size* campaign—for it is only. so fez as we are °aspersed,
a single suspaign—has been attended with such great and
important results. We are presenting to the world ems of
the noblest spectacles which it is possible for nations to ex-
hibit. (Cheers.) Here ate the two greatest nations of the
world—l say it without vanity and without exaggeration,
bat without one partials of diminution—l say the English
and Pariah satirise, which stead at the head of everything
that dignifies home stature--(cheers)-ire presenting to the
world the noblest possible spectacle of two great people
casting isle the shade of oblivion ell their former Umlaute',
'Malice, and cattiest asimosities, amities for a purpose
generate, and, so far as any sordid motives are concerned,
utterly disinterested, looking foe no trumpery profit er

• la which they are so dimply iaterested, co a solid and per-
, meant foundatioo, nuking vast sacrillate, not wantonly
foe abstract principles, but from a Pound polities! view end
consideration of things. I say these two satiate present
the noblest spectacle that the history of the world has
ever up to this day exhibited. (Chun.) For we
have seen greet sonebisations made for porpoise of
mussel ; bat • eoushiaatios made for a purpose like
this, so boanzable to the two, has seldom, if ever, been
whammed in history. And we have seen the armies of
two maltase, white bad learned face to fess in the battle-
field to view each other with respect, fighting side by side,
cad learning more intimately the qualities of each ; and we
have is.. them change their feelings, and mart what
was formerly respect into enthusiastic admiration. (bad
