SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS FROM THE I "'-
CRIMEA. et.

Au inquiry having been made of the Mayor of Bath by 116
the government whether 136 sick and wounded soldiers se
from the Crimea could be accommodated for a night in
Bath, whilst cm their way from Plymouth to Chatham Hoe- irt:
pita), without billeting, his worship not only immediately
undertook the duty of providing accommodation, but ap- 10
pealed to the citisens to give such a welcome to men whose le
wounds and sickness declared with what faithfulness and Ste
resolution they bad served their country, as became loyal n
and grateful Bogliabmen. The entire city was at once fired jo
with enthusiasm, and the arrival of the detachment by train is
on Friday afternoon, was the scene of one of the greatest es.
demonstrations ever witnessed in the city. It had previously St.
been arranged that the worst eases should be accommodated boo
at the two hospitals, the governors of which made the mat
ample preparations for their comfort, and that the lit
others should be lodged at the Guildhall, the splendid to
banqueting room of which was fitted up with I
beds, dm, for the occasion. Every kind et offer was made
by the citizens to assist in giving the heartiest welcome and sse
best acoonsmodatioe. The omnibus and fly proprietors
placed their vehicles at the IletTiCe of the Meyer, to convey
the men from the railway station; meat, vegetables, fruit,
beer, wine, de., were voluntarily contributed for their en-
tert:inment, and upwards of 1001. subscribed to prment to
them as a testimony of the regard of their fellow-country-
men. At the railway station the detachment, which con-
sisted of 136 own-commissioned officers end men from almost
every corps in the army, besides about 20 women and
children, was received by the Mayor and a number of the
principal citizens, who saw them placed in the carriages in
which they were conveyed away. From the station to the
Guildhall the streets were thronged with people, who
cheered enthusiastically, and the windows swarmed with
ladies waving their handkerchiefs in welcome to the
wounded and sick warriors. A body of the North Somer-
set Yeomanry Cavalry, under Captain Haviland, acted as
an escort, and the band of the same regiment. in
fell uniform, played throughout the route. Bo great
was the crowd in the market-place that it required all the
efforts of the cavalry and poboe te make a passage f3r the
carriages to the Guildhall. Arrived there, the brave fellows
wen treated to a capital dinner of imp, rout beef and
mutton, fowls, Ike. ; alter which Bishop Carr presented
each with a New Testament, and the Mayor, having ad
dressed to them a hearty welcome, informed them of what
the eitisens had done, and presented every man with hallo
sovereign, stating that the remainder of the subscriptions
would be handed over to their pacers for distribution to
them when they left the hospital. In the evening they
were supplied with books and newspapers, tea, tobacco,
dc., and on Saturday morning with an excellent break-
fast, after which they departed for Chatham, amidst
the renewed cheep and congratulations of the inhabitants,
The poor fellows appeared astonished and deeply affected
at the kind treatment and the (pathogenic reception they
had met with.
