him to have the loam of entering into communica-
tion with *Mr. Daman upon all matters connected
with the Mahal relations of the two countries.

We cordially appro►e of lb* dignified courtesy of
Lord CLAILINDOWS despatch, and seeing that the
objection to the British agent in America was a
personal objection, that all objection to the British
Government, as a Government, wee disclaimed, and
that Mr. DALLAS wu furnished with extraordinary
powers, Lord CLAUJIDON, by declining to suspend
diplomatic intercourse, has, we believe, pursued the
only comes which remained open to him.

We understand that the foots of the eons as to the
contretemps at the Queen's levee on Wednesday are
these:

Mr Dallas and his diplomatic subordinates were
in their ordinary diplomatic costume. The United
States Minister was accompanied by the Professor of
Military Science in one of the United States profes
glottal establishments. This gentleman wore his

ordinary and proper military uniform, consisting
of a military frock coat, whits waistcoat, and black
stock, such u be presents himself in before his
military superiors, and that be especially selected
this as the proper costume in which to appear
at her Majesty's levee, for presentation by the Mi-
nister of his Government. Oa being refused amis.
'ion by the Master of the Ceremonies, Mr. Dallas
retired with him, not in anger or disgust, but with
great regret at the occurrence.
It is proper to add that her Majesty, on being in-
formed of the difficulty raised by the Muter of the
Ceremonies, at once directed the admission of the
gentleman in question. Unfortunately, however, be-
fore the Queen's gracious directions could be deli-
vered, the party had left the Palace.

the roads bang lined with the inhabitants of Harrow and
the surroundieg neighbourhood', and in several places
trinnipt•al arches of even , hvele, do . were erected.
Toe Bev. Dr. VAUGHAN, the head master, took the
chair, in the opeeeb-room, shortly ahoy 12 o'clock, when the
large room was crowded to ozone, chiefly by elegantly
dreamed ladles; the learned martor's immediate supporters
including U I Williams, Lord Palmerston, Lord John
Russell, Lady Russell, Madam* Jenny Lind-Gold-
echmidt, de. . .

After some slight preliminaries, the speeches were deli-
vered and prize" awarded. The company then proceeded to
the stoned where the foeadstion sense was to be laid.
The Ira:tedium commenced with an a; propriata prayer,
offered up by Dr. Vaughan, after which Sir W. Williams
notified that the mons: was properly spread. The stone
b.etiog the following lescriptleo, was then lowered:—
" Jute 26, MDCCCLVI."
The vital teats hung been applied, General Will'aces
declared the stone to be duly laid, amidst reiterated ap-
please.
Dr. V•roniu then delivered a feeling sad impressive
edge's". Tie rev. &ohm then read the names of the Bar-
roviets who fell in the late war, via : Maior-G 1 James
B. &Mint, Lieu: Colonel the Hos. T. V. Denson, Lieut.-

Wm. Kent After, Connie the Hon. C. W. H. Agar, sad
Captain W. H. C. G. Bothell. In conclusion, said Dr.
Vaughan, " Their bodies are buried la a far land, bat their
names lire amongst we bar evermore."
Genera Sir WILLL&M WILLIAMS then elms forward,
and was received with great &Solemn. He said—My lords,
lodise, and gentlemen, Dr. Vaughan asked me to come'
down here, to k ar the speeches delivered, and 1 scants d
the invitation, feeling great pleasure le doing so; and I
feel that pleasure the more so now, cusidering the diston-
' itched and talented company I hive the hononr of ad-
' dressing. (Hear, hear.) I sub/vastly received another
contesaaleatioe from Dr. Vaughan, requesting me to lay
this, the foutdattee-stese of tOe chapel, u a memorial to
those Harrovian who fell in fighting for their country
during the late war. I wrote beck, accepting tte invitation,
and 'tying that I hoped I should not be doing we rag in
bringing with me some of the men of Hart (Uwe* ) In the
I fist plus, benie Colonel Lake, a Harrow man—(oheer.)—
en °Star who did lie duty day end night—workieg by day
and wetching by night. (Applause) Again, hers is Captain
Tendon, my aide de camp, who distinguished himself in
every instance dating the siege, cad on the memorable 14th
of September be kept the key of the position tor 14 hours.
(Appleton.) And then here Is my eneetary, Mr. Churchill
—and laying his bands on that gmelessuia's shoulder, the
gallant general said, "Come forward, Churchill," and
drew him forward he himself apprering mein affected.
Mr. Chintaill has (oostiaued Central William.), though •
civilise, done great od in the service of his country.
(Anplaue ) I here addresed you collectively, bat now I
will say • word or me to the Harrow boys I see around
me. It fa strange that we all try to be thought well of
after death, and the more we progress the more that teei-
ng will be spread. Now of the list of names that Dr.
Vaught's bee read to you, of those Harrovises who fell
in the war, it was my humor to know two Of three
of them well. Among *then, there is Mejot-General Est-
mart, whom I always knew to be one of the beat officers ;
then there was Captain Pechell, who had title and fortune,
was the cooly son, and yet he preferred tumour end glory to
stung at home to eajoy that; and abler be hod many times
distinguished himself he was offered by his sovereign to
some sad join some regiment at home, very likely her
Majesty's Guards, where he might have enjoyed some not
Bat no, he preferred to stay where he bad gained his I meek.
(Chan.) It is impossible to pouttray the gnat fortitude
and resignation of that noble man, and I feel sure if there
had bees two or three sass in that teeny they would have
been given up to their eouctry. I therefore hops that these
examples may be borne in mind by the Harrow boys I em
now addressing. (Cheers.) That they are honoured if Sr
death is net all, but they are cared for daring life—for does
not their sovereign pay vista and 'ousels the poor
wounded fellows when they are is hospital ? (Hear,
hear.) If they die, they die in glory; if they tire,
they live for honour and reward. (Coen%) Then coming
to the *intim of education, I may perhaps be permitted
to say that I fool very glad to think that position• in the
army an to be throws open to pablie sommtition. Of that
1 am very glad, but I mast observe that we have not the
books to teach them who are to Meese esadidates. I hope
the prase of this wintry will take the matter up, and have
the best works on the emtimat translated, for without pro.
per elemottery instmetion nothing an be done. I must
also say that if it is intended is do anything, we must have
the help of the government. I only comedown here to lay
this stone, and having done that, I shall not detalnyou
lespoo. bat I laavo ems more used tosep to my young HU •
row friends. Then is such • this, es death In glory,
but the loss of position is oftentimes felt more miarety by
the friends of the soldier. I with to be properly under-
stood, for it is a fain that ea evil word or • thoughtless
silent may muse the less of • seenesimuse. If a soldier dies
fighting in his country's service, Mead is glorious, but if,
througu any inteconduat oa hie part, he loom his poeitiou,
then nothing but an igoomisioes fate is open to him. The
gallant panel emelsded his speech by thanking them foe
the attention they bad paid him, and the interest they had
evinced in his welfare.

Thy., sins wm then gins for Gemini Wilkins,
Captain Teesdale, Lord Palawan, and Dr. Vaughan re-
spectively.
Lord PALNIMITON them said, as as old flenovian, he
wished to say a tow words. The roust occasion, he felt,
was intermits, to all 'accented, sad showed the
deep attenuant and strong affection of ell Harrow
men teethe where they reached their education. They

row saes who hat their Kees in their sentry's mate, the
noes of whom had been read to the mailer. May
of tins kid ben taken away in the prime of life, but they
had unloved la vain, haelag died in a good cause ; and he
might with fairness and truth remark that there mover was
a more righteous ensue thin that tor which the Harrow
ass had laid down their lien. (lien, bear.) He vatted
the Harrow boys would set emlf &dew the email set
theft by those motile fellows who had Gina la the lets
wer, bat also remember the !mow and integrity
which had eberatnerised every promediag of the ;tal-
lest dolman of Kars. General William bad modestly
referred to his comrades as the Ines of Kars ; hat he (Lon
Palmettos) kilt they were entitled to be desigested as
the beeolsof Kus. (lieu, bear.) thaeral Williams was
sot a Renew Rae, bat Colonel Lake was, sad his kriehip
treated that the bays would always show patience ester

which the berme of Kars had gained for thrmeenes. Alter

element oeseneded by wiring no Harrow boy* to think
well of what Gemmel Williams had said to them, and
always endeavour to servo their onatry te the utmost of
their power.
