Mn. LOSOFELLOW IN E.:IOLA:IR.—OR Saturday,
the committee of the Carlisle Literary and Mechanics'
Institution presented an address to Mr. Longfellow, cor-
dially welcoming the poet to the ancient border city. Mr.
Longfellow, upon receiving the address, said : " Mr. Pre-
sident and Gentlemen,—Being more accustomed to speak
with the pen than with the tongue, it is some-
what diult for me to find appropriate words
now to thank you for the honour you have done me
and the very kind expressions you have used. Coming
here as a stranger, this welcome makes me feel that I
am not a stranger ; for how can a man be a stranger
in a country where he finds all doors and all hearts open
to him P Besides, I myself am a Cumberland man—
(hear, hear)—l was born in the county of Cumberland,
in the State of Maine—(laughter)--3,000 miles from here,
and you all know that the familiar name of a town or
country has a home-like sound to all ears. (Rear, hear.)
And yet there is much strangeness in this now,
when I come to the land of my fathers and
find in it no trace' of my family or name. If I
am to find them at all it will not be in the streets of towns
or on the outside of the houses of the living, but in the
graveyard and on the doors of the dead. You can think
then how very grateful it is to me—how very pleasant—to
find my name has a place in your memories and your
affections. For this kindness I most heartily thank you, and
I reciprocate all the good wishes which you have expressed
for the perpetuation of the ties of amity between our two
nations." The members of the committee were then intro-
duced individually to Mr. Longfellow, who shook hands
with them all. The proceedings then terminated. On
Saturday afternoon Mr. Longfellow visited Edenhall, the
seat of the ancient Border clan of the Musgraves, where
is still preserved the ancient goblet of the Luck of Eden-
hall. He will leave Carlisle this morning for Cambridge,
where the honorary degreeof LL.D. will be conferred upon
him to-morrow.

BRIGADE FIELD DAY AND INSPECTIONS IN HYDE-
RARE.—On Saturday evening the first of a series of brigade
field days which it is nndendood to be the intention of
General the Hon. James Lindsay, the inspector-general
of the reserve forces in connection with the volunteer ser-
vice, took pie in Hyde-park in the presence
of many thousands of spectators. The corps
invited were the Queen's (Westminster), the
London Rifle Brigade, the St. George's Rifles, the 4th Mid-
dlesex, or West London Rifles, and the 3rd City of London;
and it was also understood that the occasion was to tell for
the annual inspection of the Queen's and the 3rd London.
The Queen's mustered ten strong companies in its two
battalions, severally under the command of Earl Grosvenor
and Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, with Major Bushby and
Major and Adjutant Charter, and were inspected ,•

strong companies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Wards

companies), under Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay
marched into the enclosure, and were speedily followed
by the London Irish, upwards of 600 men, under the com-
mand of Colonel the Marquis of Donegan, assisted by Cap-
tain and Adjutant Daubeney. These relieved the 4th Mid-
dlesex in keepindthe ground, and admirably they kept it,
the former mope then being called to take part as a bat-
talion in the brigade. The 3rd London did not arrive for
some time after, and mustered nine strong companies, but
its entering the enclosure was succeeded by a scene of con-
siderable confusion.

THE Dori COMPANIES VourrnmEas.—The
several corps connected with the East and West India
Dock Company, the London, St. Katherine, and Victoria
Docks Company, have recently united, and now forming
one large and thoroughly effective body, they propose to
