• flow months succeeded In sending out a force of
40,000 Ism to protect oar gag in India. (Cheers.) He
I had no doubt but that before this Oral that force had tally
whined Its mission, and that before very long complete
tranquility would be restored. (Hear, bear.) He (the Lord
Mayor) was sot la the habit of making long s echos, sod
thoollx• would conchae by giving them " The Army and
Nary," coupling with the teeth (Load chin) Royal High-
ness the Cotanianderthseldee
- - -

The Duke of Car Bat DO s rose sad wee rewired with loud
chasm. He said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen:
I rise to reepood to the toast which your lordship has been
so good as to give, and in giving which you have done ass
moth honour by coupling my nano with the army sad navy
Having been bred a soldier, I love the army, and therefore
say complimeet you can pay the army I taker a compll-
meet to myself. (Chews.) I thick, my Lord Mayor, that
England has a right to be proud of sad eati•fied with her
army, for it has only recently gene through one great contest
which has already become meter of history, and already it is
engaged in new trouble., of which the mail from day to day
brings us fresh intelligence. (Hear, beer.) Can any one
say that our army has not performed its duty nobly la oar
Eastern pomesaions I' (Loud cheers.) Dsy by day the de-
tails of fortitude, of self-devotion, of valour which we get
from India are such as to make England proud of her army.
(Chasm.) My Lord Mayor, the toast and its soggesticem
bring to my mind a subject which I have on various occa-
sion before alluded to in public—l mean the nemesity of
keeping the army up to a proper state of efficiency. (Haw,
hear.) I ate much gratified in hearing that the City MU:o-
des will always bs ready to further in any every the legitimate
service of the country, sad to smist in making the army of
England such •• one ss a great country ought to have. It
rosy he mid that no Wanes being amid have expected the events
which have recently taken place in India, but neither could
any ors have expected, without a miracle, the European temp
to he out as they have done. (Loud cheers.) Are we, I
ask, doing judos to that brave army or to outestees, If we
place them again in so dangerous, so pardons a position f
Surely, if it were only out of humanity to oar troops, they
should be of milkiest faros to carry oat whatever orders
may be entrusted to them. I ask yea, my Lord Mayor, and
this distinguished company, to open your eyes and look a
little ahead, and never again to allow the country to be placed
in a position so dangerous as that front which it bee recently
wiped. (Hear, bear.) As for the expedition with which a
relieving force was sent to the East, I claim no credit for it
further than as the head of • grist department la which all
worked with equal seal. It was caly our duty to send relief
r soon as possible to our osentrystan in distant parts, and
the same activity will rather to distinguish our 'Hurts;
but gill, I repeat, that ft will be sedans If we ever
again allow so distant a podtioe to be caught in a similar
gals of %temps/edam. (Heir, hest.) It has an said
that we should govern our Indian empire lather by moral
than by military power. I ant not one who would say we
should kelp so great as Mph* merely by military force, but
what I Err Is, that our morel infirm*, should be backed
up
by seek an amour of military force as, when an
&gray should arra would be able to defend sad to main-
tain me piths. (Hoar.) That le the proper way to bold India,
. morel Manes la the timhylatt bathed spbyeadloiest mill-

tory bite, whenever ma emergency rendered it morenary.
A gnat Multi has boon raised, sa to how this mutiny is to
be dealt with ; but, to me, it seems sa Am* as the soca-
day. Of come, it would not enter into the heed daily sane
man that we should go to India brand in hand, destroying
dwodul villages and slaying every human being that we
reinkl lay bands on. Snob a policy would be perfectly
Weida]. (How, hear.) But, on the other hand, no man,
with the slightest feeling of humanity, is to tell me that
a body of mutinous whiled I. to be paraded to stroll from
one tad of the country to the other—basing, dastroYiult
paralorbse, end mutilating—and than to be deeh with
!au estraordinary had happened. (Loud awn)

I sot per..ivied that no Englisla•;n could have each •
fig, and I cannot believe what has been told as that snob
ma be the feeling of persons in authority. (Hear, haw.) I
ma glad to have this opportunity for saying that than is no
bath whatever in the report that my gallant friend the Can-
insadsr-in-Chlef in India, and whom I ?upset and admire
more than any brother °Moor, is not on good terms with the
Governor-Genersi of India. (Hear, hear.) I bare had a
Ishtar from my gallant friend in which he alludes to these
mons, and distinctively and positively denial that they
have the slightest foundation in fact. (Chews.) It
would not, hourwor, become me to later hugely
into this subject, as never having been In India
I ran only judge at • diatance and under the dictates of my
own common sense. AB to the conduce of lie 11111010iIMA
none of the blame can attach to its European °Mom. I
feel It my duty to say, in the presence of the Lord Mayor
and this distinguished company, that everything that ma
could do has been dame by the European O®olll of the In-
dian army, and that their only fault has been too wok eon-
Monoa in the men who had been placed under *dr sons,
mad. (Hear.) That was the case with one of the runt
"(clime, • gallant officer and near relative of my Lord Mayor.
In justice to that alter I, as Commander-in•Chid, tastily to
the history end gallantry of his conduct, and assert that
his only fault was too great oostldence In his soldier..
(Loud cheese.) What is to become of that army In the furore
it would be difficult to say ; nor would it be proper for me at
present more particularly to allude to It. What we am
have, I believe, in India it an European army, 'tithe native
auxiliary to It; but that mot bee subject for future discus-
sion. (Hear, hoar.) With nowt to the honour which has
been soared on myself, I have folly rammed my senti-
ments to my fellow-eittseas,dnring the ceremonial at the

tad I repeat that I look upon all compliments of
that kid sa compliments to the ►rmy, of which lam
the unworthy repeeseniative. It is odd we are not
a 'unitary nation ; bat let it be remembered that
we bars the largest volunteer army in the world. (Loud
cheers.) The recruiting, lam happy to say, has not fallen
cs, on the contrary, it ia incressieg; so that we very shortly
shall hare a anfildont force of volunteers. Who shall say
after fhb that we are not a military nation. We sre the
grotteet ccennarreisl nation I. the world, and we ere as ready
te Sight la defuse* of our gains es to mike them. (Cheers.)
Having spin thanked the company for the toast, his Royal
Highness toosmed his seat amid loud cheers.

Mr. DALLAI said he trusted he should not be deemed ob-

devote his emeriti* and hie intellect to the service of IL

of was the agitation amongst the public respecting the

punishable sounding to law. But there were other crinsis—
crimes so monstrous as to create an attitude of sademity In

The next toast was " The Erase of Lode."
Earl GRANVILLI, while acknowledging the compliment,
said it was badly pamiblis to allude to the House of Lords
without thinking of two members of that body, who were
both many thousand wiles away. The tiro, Lord Elgin,
having been mast on an important mimic's, with ample force
to support his negotiations, had on his arrival In the But to
give up his miteton and repair to Cakutts, at the earnest In •
vitation of the GovernoriOeneral of India, Lord Elgin did
not beeitste for a moment, but giving up all his cherished
hopes of personal distinction, he promptly anticipated the
inetructions which at the moment were Icing tnnemltted to
him horn the boos government. (Hear, bear.) For
doing that ho (Lord Granville) maintained that Lord Elgin
dererved well of hie country, (Hear, hear.) Theirs was
another noble lord in the Nest, on whore shoulders ranted
the her ieet reoponsibility that had ever fallen to the lot of
any eueject of her present Mejeoty. He meant Lord Can-
ning. And let it not be said that the roeponsibility was, es
bed born alleged, of Lord Canning's own seeking. Lord
Cauning had not solicited the office of GovernoriGeneral, but
accepted it when offered alter meat careful deliberation, and
it war pressed on him became it was considered that his ad-
mirable habits of Waimea titted him for prosecuting with
energy the material improvernents of the country. Nobody
did, nobody could have expected, what subsequently
occurred. From the moment them events were known
ia England public attention became immediately absorbed,
end every step of Lord Canning was criticised, sometimes
fairly, but sometimes with • wholesale censure and med..-
nation which it was hardly possible for any man to have de-
served in so short a time. He admitted at once that the
public acta of the public men of this country were fair objecta
of mithism ; but there wee one little compound word which
• British public would never forget, and that word was, fair-
play. (Cheer%) He felt that nothing could be more im-
proper on his part than, on an mouton like the preeent, when
the citizen. of London were met to compliment the Duke of
Cambridge, to drag in irrelevant topics—(hear, hear)—
nor, as being connected with the government,
would it be right to anticipate their views, which
must soon be given to the public, on all points of poliey.
But perhaps they would allow him very shortly to correct
some m*epresenteGons which had got altroadea to certain

allude to the reatrictione on the prate, but the company had

of the Calcutta papers • minute account of his voyep by the

the writer, and Anlahing with an exclamation to the effect
that never sound had fallen so pleasant on his tan as the
salute of 21 guns which agnalieed his departure from the

which were made amid much interruption, the noble lord
resumed his seat.

The remaining— toasts were then dimpoeed of, and the com-
pany adjourned to the drstrinproom, where the your

THE ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, Nsw Close.—Ws
regret to record the dermas of the kind sad mach-beloved
saatron of the Royal Naval School, Mrs. Margaret Ann
Jones, widow of the late Lieutenant R. L. Jones, R.N.,
and grand-daughter of Mr. Robert Millions, Muter R.N.
This estimable lady had, during a period of more than twenty
yean, served the institution with a faithfulness and zeal
which deserve a pawing tribute of respect to her memory.
Almost a generation of young officers has passed out of the
school under her truly maternal care, and owe her a deep
debt of gratitude for kindness end attention, which will be
remembered through life. It Is indeed not too much to Nay
that 'her unwearied exertions for so long a period have
contributed to the premature termination of her career of
usefulness at the age of 64. The w►ole of the 260
students, at their own earnest request, followed the lamented

very numerous attendance of the Grand Lodge on Tuesday.
The chair wee taken by the grand moiler, the Earl of En-
niskillen, soon after one o'clock. The meeting was held
with closed doors ; but it is understood that there is a pre-
proderatiag majority against even entertaining the proposal of

of sudden death occurred at Bath on Monday evening, Mr.
R. P. Lemon, wino merchant of that city, who was one of

still remained leaning /on the table in the communion pew,
at which be had knelt whilst praying. As he did not riee
some of those near him touched him, but se this had no

some day. The deeeseed gentleman was 56 years of age.
His body woe at once removed to his residence on the North

state of health for Katie tines, and told wither that be suf-
