The Earl of CL•IIIINDON, wbo wee loudly cheered, rose,
and, evidently labouring under deep emotion, said he was
uttering no formal speech, but his true seatimente, whew
he told ►is lordship and the company that be was at a
lose for words to express his grstefel sense of the manner in
which the announcement of hie name bad been re-

craved. (Rousted sheen) The approbation of his country.
men was the highest reward that could be bestowed
on 000 who, like him, had been long engaged in the pubis
service ; and he trusted be should not bs deemed premmc-
toots in smeptiog the tokens of sympathy with which his
Lame bad been greeted, as come proof that in that assembly
at least it was thought that to the best of his ability be bad
performed the duty which had been allotted to him.
(Hear, bear) Bat the boom', which be should for-
get, was far more gretlfyiteg to him on another and higher
ground, because he considered that the brilliant and intellir
gent company by whom he war surrounded had mow put
the stamp of their spooled upon the Orley which had been
se rematly aimed. (Geer, hear.) He took it as a prcof
that the honorer of Zeeland which had been so gloriously
sustained for this last two yearl, was not considered to have
bun tarnished by his diplomacy, but that an honourable
peace had folly unabated an energetic and successful war.
(lieu.) That war had been well called a statesman's was,
bootless it had been • war of principle, and not of conquest,
or of ambition. It had been undertaken on principle, and
was forced on by necessity, and as far as England was cos-
corned, might emphatically be called a people's war.
(Hear.) The attitude of the people of Ragland had been
throoghost weethy of all praise end admiration, for
they had entered into the war with less Plod •
sow than their governeteuts mid had sailinatt-
in* euggislel it to the la (Loud *hon.) Nei-
ther had aber bees impelled by any vain wish for mill.

=garbseu wrilber eueleid in aor appeUed at
Anger, but bed sheadily eapp Med the honour of the
eerstry, est en& *sly the object for which they bad at
Int drawn the sword. Our method thatitatime did not
permit of oar maintaining a large standing army in time of
pease, and therefore it required time to develop the warlike
roomers of this country; and then resources having
boa oily fully developed this year, he quite agreed
with the Lord Mayor that the peace !night sot
at first bare been popular. The people wanted
more war, and therefore the pesos had not at ant been re-
served with esultatios, but upon as time had boa given
for the operation of souad English common sense, he bad
no doubt bat that the presided and solid advantages of the
mace would meet with general ecoptation. (Hear, hear.)
The meek mold dwell with pride en the evente aloha late
war. The capture of lieluotepol bad bees a great feat of
arms, bat everyone must also admit that the defence would
fill a brilliant
.page in the military history of Russia.
(Cheers.) Agate, the defence of Hen bad reflected immor-
tal honour on the beam garrison ; but was net the humane
conduct of Re captor, Gomel Mouraviril,thtitled to some eu-
logy ? By a ceriom coincidence he had that day received
a hitter from General Williams, which was so illuth-ative of
the subject to which he bad alluded, that h. treated he
should be permitted to read a short extract. (Rear, bear.)
" I bath already told you lordship of General liouraviefe
kisdaess towards myself and my party, but his humanity
Lad hesevolent treatment of the poor (ameba garrison
of Kars will gain for him the respect of the civilised
world, and must tend to lessen if not eradicate the
mimed/ which for more them a cestury has misted
between Russia and Turkey, especially ea the part of
the latter. I shell therefor, quit General Moir avid'
with great regret, although I have every hope that on
my arrival at Rinse we shall hear of the re-establish-
ment of peace and continue our journey towards England."
Having done jostle* to me who was no longer, he trusted,
a foe, he would essmanalate his hearers on the contionasee
of the alliance which, under happy auspice., had bees
teetered into between Frame and England. In the progress
of that alliance, enteral into with no selfish views of
adveatege, and which kid been strengthened by
common vicissitude. and Mogen, massy transactioas
had occurred which had only served to bring out
late stroager relief the honourable prseeedinge and
usswerving fidelity of oar allies. (Loud cheers.)
The independence of Turkey IVY now secured, and she had
entered into the general system of Europe, while the Chris-
tian subjects of the Porte would enjoy the benefits of the
Iran to which his noble frisad had slowly alluded. With
respect to ROSSiS there was every reason to believe that she
would honoorably maintain her engagements, because the
rung Emperor had already given signal proofs of the pos
maths of the highest order of oourege. His Impala Ma-
jesty had not breasted to say that the former policy of
Russia stood condemned by the public opinion of Europe,
and that for the future Wised of further developing that
policy, he would devote himself to the development of the
national resources of hie country. Under these circus-
standee, be (Lord Clarendoo) trusted that, with the blessing
of a gracious Providence, they might be permitted to enjoy
the provisions of the pe see and to devote their eurgies to
peaceful program and the :Ps of siviliestioo. (Load theirs.)

The Loan MAYOR briefly returned el:meta, and gave
"The Reese of Lords."

who so well esitaiced the eenatrre honour at Alma and

The nest toast was " The Roses of COMIK.O."
Bit 0. Hasa, is returning thanks, expressed his opinion
