JAIIT3'S trEa.II7:4ISTER PpLUNiI3IIO,
Nlonday evening, the members of the St.
Jmoes's Westminster Loyal Volunteer Regiment,
attached to the field-pieces, met on their Pit,•.de,
Dufour's-place, iu order to present their much-
relweted Commander, Lieut. Grant, with an ele-
gant sabre, with appropriate devices and invcription.
The guns being drawn out and untimbered, the
members forming a semi-circle from right and left
of them, and every arrangement lacing made, the
approach of Lieut. Grant was announced. l'he
member appointed to deliver the sabre, supported
by two other members, advanced between the guns,
to the centre of the circle, where meeting Lieut.
Grant, he presented it with the following address :
" Lient. Grt A ng—l ammo. you I feel a sincere pleasure
in heiag d,qiuted by my comrades to request your aereptture
of this satire, as a trifling, though grateful, hatiniony of that
respect Mid attachment which you have excited iu us, from
your uniform gentlemanly and otfieer-hke cm:duet:but more
particularly fur your mil and exertions in perfecting us to
the ma of the guns, which 1141 so highly euntribut,il to the
military appearance and proud superiority of the St. Janata's
Regiment.

In hies rating it, we trust you will not 'cerise h as •
reasseroitio” for your valuable services; but that, should the
day anise, in which the danger of our cmniry shell call
forth these duties fur which we me embodied, in unsheath-
ing it, y•a may feel a lively recall-et:vs cf the cotitialeuce
which we place in yam, and which the present occasion it iw
tended to capress."
The halne boiuq suspended from his waist, Lieut.
GRANT, evidently affected, replied in nearly the fal-
lowing words :
"GRNTLVIIRN—.The very handsome and unexpected
manner in which you have sliewis that attachierat to ow, of
which I was already well convinced, Ism taken my feelings so
mach by surprise, that I find it almost impossible to return
yam any thanks. I shall consider it as a testimony of your
affection only, as the merit of beiag perfected to the use of
the guns, you must attribute to your own exertions ;—I have
hut vertu-lest my duty; hut rest assured, that whenever I
emote/opiate this sword, I shall think with pleasure im the
approbation I have inspired, and shall ever consider this
dsy as the proudest of my life."

gations of whom the really was, and also of giving
