LORD GOUGH AND MAJOR RDWARDEB AT
8017THAIIPTON.
Yesterday the Assembly Rooms of the Vic'oris
Hotel were fitted up In gala style. At 12 o'clock the
large room was 0711111110 d with military and naval officer.,
nobility and gentry, and the inhabitants of the town. Lord
Gough was decorated with the in.ignia of all his military
honours, and, with his fancily, occupied the front mats of ea
elevated dais, and was surrounded with the most distin-
guisbed_persom in the town. As soon es the cheer, with
which Lord Gough and Major Edwardee were greeted
on their entrance had subsided,
Mr George Hewett, Bart., of Fremantle, who had
been an °Hay in Lord Gough*s regiment, and had served
under his lordship, addressed the veteran warrior in a
graceful speech, and then presented to him the following
addrers.

TO GENERAL TEE RIONT HON. LORD TIECOVNT
00IION, 0 C.B.
We, the undersigned reddest' of Southampton and Its
neighbourhood, beg leave respectfully to offer your lordship
our sincere congratulations on your return to your native
country, and to express our unfeigned admiration of the
many splendid victories plied by the British arms under
lour lordship's command. We are not unmindful that your
ordship has been engaged upwards of fifty years in the ser-
vice of your country, leading our soldiers t 3 victory, in the
Peninsula, in Chia*, and India, more particularly in the
Punjeub, where the splendid achievements of the army
nadir your lordship's command have placed your name in
the proud position of one of the most distinguished soldiery
of this or any other country. Knowing that your lordship
has received the highest marks of our most gracious
Majesty's approbation, as well as on repeated mammas the
unanimous thanks of both houses of Parliament for your
lordship's eminent and distinguished service, we hail with
the highest possible gratification this earliest opportunity
of welcoming your lordship on your arrival at this port, and
of wishing your lordship a long continuance of health and
happiness, and that the bleisiog of the Almighty disposer of
human events may rest upon the remainder of your days.
In this our welcome and the expression of our good wishes
we beg to include Lady Gough and your family.
After a few moments Lord Gough rose and said—
Sir George Hewett, ladies, and genUemen,—l thank you
very sincerely for this very flattering mark of attention
towards me,•s perfect stranger to many of you, without other
pretension than that to which so many naval and military
men may justly lay claim, an an: mu wish to fulfil to the
utmost of their power and ability their duty to our Queen
and our country, and to uphold that which has been so
justly acquired by the Anglo-Indian army, the supremacy of
British power in Indio contributing as it does so largely to
the proud position England now holds, proud from her mili-
tary achievement., but much more proud from the loyalty of
her sons. An absence of thirteen years has not lessened my
nationality. Whilst warmly engaged in conducting war is
distant lands, I have watched with deep interest the course
of events in Europe, and I land oa this favoured spot and
on your time-honoured shores, with a deep feeling of grad-
tude to that All-Wise Disreer of Event., who has graciously
vouchsafed his shield of motel:don through not a few fields
of danger, but ever in fields of conquest, to the aged soldier
who now addressee you. It is that Almighty Being who
has safely conducted me with my long-tried friend and
partner, together with so many members of my family, to
this land of loyalty and true freedom. Called by a gracious
Sovereign to the performance of other duties, I shall pray
for the power of fulfilling them with the same devoted-
ness as that which I trust history will word
to a career of military exertion extending over
a period of fifty-six years. That the great blessing
of pesos may be the result of the recent military operations
in India, which have added to our territories one of its
richest provinces, I have a confident hope—but, should
our anticipations not be realised, my country may safely
walk!' in the well tried gallantry, patient endurance and
devotion of the gallant army I had the good fortune to com-
mand—an army that never mat a foe but to subdue them—
that n commenced • campaign witnout crowning its
termination with complete success. Again, my dear country-
men, allow me, on the ;lei of Lady Gough and myself, to
return you my beet acknowledgments, my warmest thank,
for this to me, most valuable testimony of your approval.
It affords me double gratification to receive this address from
the hands of one of my oldest friends, cad esteemed comrades,
Sir George Hewett.
Cheers were then stain given for Lord and Leap Gough
who bowed her ackeowledgments. His lordship then leJ
off • round of cheerio( for the Queen, and retired
with all his family and • numerous retinue of friends to his
hotel. His lordship left Southampton for town at two
o'clock.

The following resolution was moved and carried at the
town mull of Southampton last week, in anticipation of
the arrival of Lord Gough, and which p ted his lordship
being welcomed by the civic authorities of that town when
he leaded an SuMay night :
" That as war has ever been opposed to the beet interests
of mankind in its fearful sonsunenees against the pecuniary,
physical, and moral well-being of the people: That as it is
also diametrically opposed to the precept and spirit of the
CluisUan religion: And as this council as composed of mon
professing Christianity, it would be grossly inconsistent
for them to manifest any demonstration of approbation on
the landing at this port of any general °Hoer or other
warrior: and more especially of one who has been so
recently engaged in *most destructive war in India, almost
a war of esterminatioa, where, in many cues, no quarter
was given, and the most barbarous grooms committed.''
Anedvax 114 1•0/111011.—The gallant hero of Chillian-
wallah arrived at the Waterloo terminus of the South-
' western Rsilway at flu o'clock yesterday afternoon,
having travelled from Southampton by the 2 p.m. cep teals.
The directors of the railway, anxious to show every respect
to hie lordship, placed a special train at his disposal, but the
noble lord preferred travelling by the ordinary train, and
hence his arrival as above stated. A considerable number
of persons had assembled at the station before 5 o'clock, and
when the train drew up alongside the platform, and his
lordship was discovered seated in one of the carriages with
Lady (laugh and his son, Captain the Hon. George Gough,
they gave the gallant general a hearty cheer of welcime,
which his lordship very courteously acknowledged.
The gal ant Major Rawardes strived in town by the same
train, accompanied by his wife sad two children.
Lord Gough is looking remarkably well, sad with the
exception that his hair and whiskers have become quite
white, he looks little the worse foe the 13 years' hard service
he has undergone in the Rut. Lady Gough is sao looking
very well.
Major Edwardes, by his own request, haa acted as princi-
pal aide-d.-camp to Lord Gault throughout the journey
from the Punjaub. It is a mistake to suppose that the
gallant major is the bearer of the celebrated diamond won
by his valour, and presented by Lord Dalhousie to the Queen.
This jewel is still in India.

A MEETING was held yesterday at Liverpool, when
resolutions were passed in approval of Mr. Stuart Worthy's
Bill he legalising marriage, with a deceased wife's sister.
