On Friday night the grand banquet in celebration of
the Crimean victories came off in the City Hall, and was
attended with the utmost success. Previous to the day
of meeting the application for tickets were so numerous
as at since to satisfy the committee that the large hall
would be fully occupied, and before the hour of meeting
(half-past 5 o'clock) every available space was filled by a
respectable and highly influential assemblage. The de-
corations of the hall were very similar to those at
the recent banquet of the British Assnciation, with
the following additions :—Over the Chairman's seat,
at the east end, were suspended the national colours of
England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia, and on,the
south and north walls the union jack and tricolour alter-
nated. The west gallery, which was tastefully fitted up
as a camp, draped with red and white, was occupied by
the band of the Queen's Own Yeomar ry Cavalry, and on
each aide were suspended the banners of England and
France. In front of this gallery were emblazoned the
ever to be remembered words, "Alma," "Balaklava,"
" Inkerman," "Sebastopol ;" and around the front of
the north and south galleries, wreathed in evergreens,
were the names of the illustrious heroes—Raglan, St.
Arnaud, Pelissier, Simpson, Sir Colin Campbell, Boa-
quet. Marmara, Omer Pasha, Lyons, Bruat, Cathcart,
Cambridge, McMahon. During the as-embling of the
company Mr. Lambeth played several airs on the grand
organ. Precisely at 6 o'clock his Grace the Duke of
Hamilton and Brandon entered the ball and took the
chair amid loud and prolonged - cheering. His Grace
was supported on the platform by the following noble-
men and gentlemen :
The Lord Provost ; the Duke de Coigny ; Sir James
Fergusson, M.P. ; M. Maubousein, Consul of France;
Mr. Alexander Baillie Cochrane ; Rear-Admiral Ment-
gomerie ; Sir James Anderson, M.P. ; Mr. William
Lockhart, M.P. ; the Duke of Montrose ; Principal
Macfarlan ; Lord Belhaven ; Sir M. S. Stewart ; Lord
Muncaster ; Sir Robert Milliken Napier ; Professor M.
Nichol ; Mr. John McGregor, M.P. ; and Mr. Robert
Monteith, of Carstairs.
Sir Archibald Alison discharged the duties of crou-
pier. He was supported right and left by Sir William
Maxwell, of Calderwood ; Mr. James Baird, M.P. ;
Mr. William Stirling, M.P., of Keir ; Sir James
Campbell ; Rev. Norman M'Leod ; Mr. Archibald
Hastie, M.P. ; Mr. E. H. Craufurd, M.P. ; Mr. Peter
Blackburn, M.P. ; Sir William Wyndham Anstruther;
Captain the Hon. H. T. Fitzmaurice ; Captain W.
D. 0. Hay, 72d Highlanders ; and Captein Wilkin-
son, 42d Highlanders, Stirling. On the platform
we observed,--Major Coates, 55th, from the Crimea ;
Major Anderson, ditto ; Captain Wilkinson, ditto ;
Major McDonald, ditto ; Lieutenant Upton,
72d Highlanders ; Ensign Murray, ditto ; Ensign
McKinnon, ditto ; Ensign Cockburn, 42d Highlanders ;
Eesign Haines, do. ; Ensign Ceeley, do.; Ensign Under-
wood, 39th; Capt. Harrison, 79th Highlanders; Quarter-
master Bethune, do. ; Captain Gleig, 93d Highlanders ;
Captain McDonald, do. Apologies were received from
the Duke of Richmond, Duke of Buccleucb, Duke of
Argyll, Marquis of Ailea, Marquis of Breadalbane (wile
sent a haunch of venison), Earl of Glasgow, Earl ce
Eglinton and Winton, Lord Melville, Sir Graham Mont..
gomery, of Stanhope, M.P. ; Sir A. C. Maitland Gib.
won, of Clifton hall ; Mr. Alex. Swollett, of Bonhill,
M.P. ; and Mr. Alex. Hastie, M.P.
A blessing having been asked by the Very Rev. Prin-
cipal 111*Faanese, the company partook of a
splendid re-
past, which, whether as regarded taste, quality, or abun
dance, reflected great credit upon the purveyors, Messrs.
Ferguson and Forester. It is worthy of notice that elle
non-commissioned officers and privates at present in
Glasgow, who took a part in the glories of the Crimea,.
campaign, numbering about 50, were entertained at th.
lesnquet. •
After dinner thanks were returned by the Rev. NOR-
MAN M'LEOD.
At this stage of the proceedings the galleries were
thrown open for the admission of -.ladies, who presented
a brilliant assemblage. .;
The noble CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the first
toast, and was received with great applause. alit Grace
said—Gentlemen, under ordinary circumstances, in pro-
posing the health of the illustrious lady whose name
first honoured on all our festive occasions, it would le.
proper that I should say a few words ; but, considering
that I am in the society of Scutchmen, and considering
the deep interest her Majesty takes in this portion td
her dominions, and considering her affection for the sof
Biers of her army, her solicita'ion for those in the Cri
mea, many of whom having returned I see now here—
(cheers)—it is unnecessary for me to say a single word te
recommend the toast to you.
The toast was drunk with great applause, and the
band played the National Anthem.

The noble CHAIRMAN the❑ gave " Prince Albert an
the Royal family." He sail it would be wrong, on th,
present occasion, to omit the name of one distinguishes
menabPr of the Royal family—he alluded to the Duke of
Cambridge. In the hour of danger he led on his gallaw
division, and at the moment of sickness he did his ut
most to ameliorate the condition of the sick and tb,
wounded. (Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN—The toast I am now to propose i
" the Army and Navy." As I shall shortly be cane(
upon to address a few words on this subject, in connee
tion with those of our army who have been in Crimean
fields, I feel that the other officers who have di
guished themselves in other places will excuse me if I
say nothing at present about the army in general. As
for the navy, I believe that, though they have had
opportunity of distinguishing themselves, they will evi
be, as they have hitherto been—
" The mariners of England
Who guard our native seas,
Wh,iie flag has braved, a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze."
Admiral MONTOOMERIE, in reply for the navy, said—
It is the misfortune, perhaps, but not the fault of tht
arm of the service to which I have the honour to belong,
that they did not contribute more to the successes whirl
we have met this evening to celebrate. At the sam,
time I may be allowed to claim for them that their ser-
vices have not been altogether unimportant. Their Bei-
vices in the Sea of Azoff possibly contributed to gaininfr
possession of the stronghold of the enemy. (Cheers.)
Jack had not much to do, but I claim for him that wha
he did do be did it well, and I trust that not many
hours will elapse till we hear that the navy hay.-
brought up their lee way before Odt aia. (Cheers 1
I am sure that the British fleet will feel much gratifie
at the notice of it which has been here taken this night,
and; as the oldest British officer present, I beg to return
thanks for the honour you have done us. (Cheers.)
Capt. WILKINSON, of the 42d Highlanders, returne
thanks for the army.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, " Her
Majesty's Ministers," said—AS there may be a variet,
of opinions in connection with this toast, I shall do n,,
more than refer to the noble lord at present at the hear
of her Majesty's Administration. I really think 1.,,T
P Anierstan has conducted this war with a degree
vigour, which at his period of life is almost unequall+ t!
I believe iu history. I think all Englishmen, of wha,
ever party or shade of politics, should be grateful t 9
for it.

The noble CHAIRMAN then gave "the Houses of Par-
liament," and expressed a hope that as the honour
England was deeply involved in the contest in which w•
were now engaged no peace would receive their sane
tion which could not be brought about with honour.
Mr. HASTIE, M.P. for Paisley, being called upon by
the noble Chairman to reply, said—l have to retort,
thanks for the honour conferred on me in being called
upon to respond to the toast. I can only state with re-
gard to the Houses of Parliament that they have, front
the commencement of the war, gone heart and hand
with the unanimous voice of the people. (Cheers.) ]
am confident that, whatever parties there may be in ti e
Houses of Parliament, the great majority will be it
favour of the wise policy of continuing the war till Re
obtain proper securities for peace. (Cheers) I, for one,
hare the feeling which I am certain imbues the breast
of every British subject, that there is no help for it now
but to prosecute the war till we bring it to an honourable
and lasting conclusion. I may further just express tht
deepest regret, the greatest morn ification on account of
the bsy three ex-IVlioiters of the Crown,
which most unpatriotic, and as likely ti
speeches
I
made
a
render it more difficult for the Administration they havt
left to carry on that war to a happy conclusion. I felt
mortified exceedingly to think that any British subject,
especially any one who had been parties to declaring
war, should give utterance to such expressions. (Cheers.)
I have to thank you in the name of the House of Com-
mons. As for the other House of Parliament, we wet'
know that the Peers of the realm are imbued with every
patriotic sentiment. (Cheers.)
- Mr;WGRIGOB, M.P., then rose, amidst some con,

fusion, and said—l rise merely to volunteer a word as a
member of that assemblage which has been mentioned.
I can only ray of the House of Commons that it sympa-
thises with the noble and generous sentiments of the city
of Glasgow, which bas exceeded all other places and cities
in its benefactions towards the patriotic fund. Here as a
humble individual, and proud of representingthe greatest
constituency in the world out of London, I say that the
manifestation you have made to-night does honour to
Scotland. (Manifestations of impatience.) Ism notgifted
with the powers of eloquence of those to whom my hon.
friend has alluded, but I have the conscientious satisfac-
tion of an honest heart, and belong to a country having
an ancient, honourable, and glori ,us history. Would to
God that every town in the United Kingdom would imitate
what Glasgow had done to-night. Would to God that
every nobleman like the one of ancient,royal race pre-
ailing here would do the same as he has dose to-night.
Ido say that the alliance between France and England
is, on the- part of the Emperor of the French, one of
great sincerity. (Mr. M'Gregor attempted to proceed
with his speech, but the increased impatience of the au=
dience prevailed, and he sat down.)
The CHAIRMAN—I quite agree with the gentleman
who has sat down about the beneficence of Glasgow.
That is one reason for which I feel proud of my position
here, namely, that in the locality in which I reside so
noble a spirit should be manifested. The toast I have
now to propose is "The Crimean Army, and welcome
to the victorious heroes who have returned." The sub.
ject of the Crimean campaign is a wide one, and I shall
not speak of it at length, because I kgmuld be speaking
ef what many here understand much better than I. Still,
I cannot help saying a few words with regard to tha gal.
lant deeds'performed by our countrymen at the scene of
war. At the very commencement of the war I think
the wonderul power of England was shown by the mag-
nitude of the transport service. soon as our troops
landed on the shores of the enemy was fought the battle
of Alma. And who is not proud of being a Briton who
thinks of the field of Alma ? • (Cheers.) Who is not
proud, I may add to many here, of being a Scotchman
who thinks of that occasion ? (Renewed Cheers.) Then
came the glorious fight of Inkerman, which long will
live in history. And Balaklava, perhaps unequalled
for chivalrous valour. Quintus Curtius, jumping into
the gulf, was not a finer hero than every man, private or
officer, who charged at Balaklava. (Cheers.) I have
heard such a sentiment from several of them, and among
others from one who won at the sword-point every dis-
tinction het wears, and who cried like a babe when he
talked of B‘klava. I cannot talk of the Crimean cam-
paign without alluding to our allies, to such names as St.
Arnaud and Bosquet, among our French allies, and La
Slartnora among the Sardinians. Proud lyas the French
and English may carry themselves, Sardinia is their
worthy ally. (Cheers.) It is strange, certainly, and
never to be forgotten, that we have seen the army of
France an England directed against a common foe for
the first time• in the memory of man. But while we
congratulate ourselves, and thank Providence for our
success, we must not forget the fallen foe who have gal-
lantly struggled against us, who have gone to rest, who
have deserved well of their countrymen. Let us not
forget also, in celebrating this glorious victory, that we
raise ourselves in our own estimation by praising our foe.
I wish that feeling had been mere carried out. I regret
expre sions which have been male use of in regard to the
Russians, because, though none can be more gratified
than I fur victories vouchsafed, we ought to be generous
to a fallen foe. (Applause.) We must not forget that
the Russians have fought bray..ly, that they have fought
hand to hand with the best troops of Europe, and that
this war has raised from its ranks one who has distin-
guished himself like General Todleben, and others high
in position in the Russian service. It is a most gratify-
ing thing to me to preside on this occasion—grateful to
find myself with such an assembly before me. With re-
gret, then, for those who have fallen in a good cause, I
turn to those now around me, and beg to propose, "The
Crimean Army, and welcome to the victorious heioes
who have returned." (Cheers.) I beg to couple with
'he toast the name of Sir James Fergusson.
Sir J. Fenousesoer, in rising to reply, was reeeived
with cheers. He said,—l barfly know how to use
tsrme sufficient to express my grattude to you for the
honour you have done me in calling me up in this place
return thanks for the army, the praises of which you
have so justly sounded, by drinking to them in a manner
which will convey to the hearts of those gallant men who
ire still in the field the sympathy
which their country
,eels for them. (Cheers.) It was not until to-night, when
I came here, that I knew the task which was to fail to
ny share. I anticipated that a gallant general who has
iiaintained tee honour of our country would have been
'ere to do what lam about do do so inadequately, or
hat some of the other gentlemen who are still in the
.a.nks of the service would be deputed to the task. I
Lin no longer in the army, and feel that I am unable to
to justice to the toast, yet I assure you that there are
none who feel more deeply the motives which have dic-
ated your expression of feeling this, evening. (Cheers.)
Caere are none who feel more the honour which belongs
to them for having served in the ranks of the army, and
:here are none who will remember longer, and with feel-
rigs of deeper gratitude, the manner in which the tea t
,la,s been received. (Cheers.) Allow me to say that so
ong as this is the way in which the humble soldier is
obe received on his return home—if these are the feel-
.ngs by which the large body of one of the most influen-
tal towns in the country are actuated, we need not fear
vim the might of the country will be put forth to carry
on a great and glorious war. When a humble soldier is
thus received by his countrymen, it demonstrates that
-fie heart .of the country beats in unision with the army
n the field, and that even the lowest soldier in the ranks
is not forgotten. (Cheers.) I regret that lam not
lietter able to acknowledge the toast, but allow me
in conclusion, to return thanks, most cordial and heart-
felt, for the great honour you have done me. (Cheers.)
The Duke of MONTROSE then said—The toast which
has last been given was especially devoted to the British
army, and the enthusiastic manner in which you re-
. eceived it was intended to do all the honour and confer
ail the praise which you could upon the bravery and the,
nourage of our own victorious soldiers. But at the same
time we must recollect that that army has been asso-
lated with another, emulating it in ite bravey and cou-
rage, and sharing with it all the hardships of the pro-
traCted struggle of the past year. Gentlemen, to them
a weed of praise and honour is also due, and it would be
impossible for me to paint in too vivid terms the truth
and faithfulness which have characterised the candnct of
our allies, or for you to do more than justice to the re•
ception of such a sentiment. If we turn to the pages of
history, we shall see all through them the two great na-
-ions of England and Franceacting with rivalry, constant
through many ages, honourable to the feelings of both
nations, but unfortunately mixed up ,too much with
-elings of antagonism and animosity. It has remained
for our days and our eyes to see that rivalry changed
into an emulation only of friendship and good feeling--
n see those two nations as-ociated iii the same cause—
that of liberty and civilisation to Europe—engaged in
the same glorious struggle, animated by the same views
and sentiments, and the same staid determination to
resist the encroachments of that grasping Power which
has threatened not only the freedom bet even the ex-
istence of Europe. But, gentlemen, in speaking of that
army it is impossible that we should overlook—we ought
rot to overlook—that master mind which has given ani-
nation .to it, which has directed the feelings of the
-ration of France into friendship towards us, and into
.„hat unexpected channel to which I have referred. The
Emperor ofthe French has shown, throughout the pro-
greens of this war and the negotiations attendant upon it,
-be clearest perception of the course that ought to be
pursued, and the steadiest determination to bring it to a
successful termination. He has throughout been
faithful to all his engagements with his allies. He
has not faltered when others were timid and inactive;
le has given strength to their counsels. He has shown
-hat determination which I have no doubt will en-
able us to arrive at the successful termination to which
we have looked. Upon this occasion we should be want-
ing in honour to ourselves did we not give utterance to
those feelings and sentiments towards him. I may
say it is a pleasing illustration of the state of things
to which I have alluded that the speaker who will,
I believe, respond to this toast should be a noble
Juke and a native of France connected with this country
by ties of family, but one who in former times served in
the great army of the late Emperor Napoleon. (Loud
applause.) The Duke of
.Coigny shared in those trials
and dangers, and bears noble testimony in his own
wounds to his own courage. It is indeed pleasing that
he, after having been our enemy, is now come to witness
-his alliance, and to state that he and his countrymen
are firm and true friends of the British nation. I think,
gentlemen, I have said enough Ito induee.your cordial
reception of the toast which I have to propose 0 the

Emperor of the French and our brave allies. But at the
same time I cannot help referring to another nation
which has lately also become one of our allies, and to
which the noble duke in the chair has already referred.
He has spoken of the gallant army which belongs to that
nation, and its, deeds of bravery done in former times,
and I think one great cause of congratulation on our
part that that nation should have joined us is, not so
much on account of the bravery of her army, but that
she is one of the few countries of Europe which enjoys a
free and liberal constitution. While the whole of Ger-
many has been governed by a wavering and vacillating
policy, while Austria has been afraid to barely give utter.
once to those feelings it is anxious for us to believe its
'Government is actuated by,—while Prussia has aided in
;almost every respect the policy of Russia, Savoy alone
has boldly supported the policy of western Europe, and
has lent its army to join in sharing the triumphs of the
associated armies of England and France. With three
such nations joined together, we must look and trust
that we shall never be induced to yield and embrace an
ignominious and useless peace, one which will yield no
good for what we have fought, but. leave us merely the
degradation of failure, aid the spectacle of having insen-
sibly resisted the efforts of the nation with which we are
at war. I trust you will do all honour to the toast I
'have to propose—" to the Ernpt;ror o f the French and
our brave allies." (Prolonged applause.)
The DUKE DE COIGNY, who was imperfectly beard,
said, —I belong too much to my country not to feel ready
to express my thanks for any honourable mention of
her, and to wish for the prolongation of the life of an
Emperor whom Providence has granted us in one of the
most critical periods of history. Let .him then live for
many, many long years, this otter great Napoleon; who
has, without any other help but the power of his
name, relieved us from a period of revolutionary agi-
tation, and who, with the immense and powerful
assistance of the great and mighty Queen Victoria,
has saved the rest of Europe tram the shame of sub-
jection to Cossack dominion. (Cheers.) I have said

enough, I hope, to persuade you that, whether qualified
Or not to return you thanks, I do it in the most *arm
and hearty manner. I beg the noble duke and this com-
pany to accept my cordial expression of gratitude, and,
on behalf of my country, I must thank the noble duke
most heartily for what he said about our happy alliance
—that alliance which, I am proud to say, has been the
constant dream of my life. Yes, gentlemen, I may
boast that it has been a dream always present to me,
even when I was fighting Against you. (Cheers.) After
every battle I could not help deploring that two great
nations like yours and mine could not come to a good
understanding. (Cheers.) I hoped, if it pleased God,
that would not long be the case. Now that we are in
possession of that formidable alliance, let us hope that
we shall remain friends for ever. If, after the present
bloody war is finished, we are again called to the field,
let us hope that it will be, as the noble viscount at the
head of the Government said, in his beautiful speech at
Romsey, not face to face, but side by side. (Continued
cheering.)

M. MAIIBOUSEIN, the Consul of France, spoke in
French. The following is a translation of his remarks :
—I have the honour to thank your Grace for the toast
which you have just proposed, and I thank you, gen-

lemen, most sincerely for the enthusiastic manner with
which you have received this testimony of respect
towards his Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign.
If your cordial acclamations could at this moment be
tiarti at St. Cloud, be assured that their Majesties, the
Emperor and Empres., would sincerely appreciate them;
and if these acclamations, too, could be carried to the
Crimea, be persuaded that our brave soldiers would re-
ceive them with bounding hearts. For they love the
Emperor well, who proves to them more effectively every
day the truth of the French maxim, a just and strong
military belief, that each conscript, on quitting his native
village, bas iu his haversack- the germ of an epaulette,
and sometimes of a marshal's baton. With resp ,ct
to the perfectly happy harmony which now exists
between the two countries, further cemented as it has
been by her Nlajesty the Queen having lately placed her
foot on the soil of Fratice, each of us can see with what
high respect and ratulation and with what hearty ad-
miration the French nation has welcomed her Majesty
the Queen of Great Britain. That this union may prove
eternal is tile priyor w riirh tiv. ry good ,u rj,ct of both
amotries ought to offer up. (A;.plause.)
Sir A. ALISON, on rising, was greeted with loud cheers.
lie said—Little more than 11 months have elapsed since
se were a,sewbled in this city to commence that noble
subscription which was to testify the sympatey of Britain
with its defenders, and in which Gjasgow hire so ills-
ting,feished a part ; and the day on which we met has
become immortal in British annals. (Hear.) By a sin-
gular coincidence, at the very time when we were en-
deavouring to celebrate, in inadequate strains, the he-
roism of our troops, the best blend of England was shed
in a glorious conflict, and Inkerinau took its place beside
Marathon and Thermopylae in the annals of inisitary
glory. (Cheers.) Even thin I rejoice to say the ancient
prowess of Scotland stood conspicuous, for on that very
morning the telegraph, in announcing the bloody fight at
13a'aklava, hail told that in the wreck of the Ottoman
troops the Highland Regiments had stood firm ; and in
the glorious charge of the Heavy Brigade, which broke
through the Muscovite horse, the Scots Greys had taken
the lead. (Loud cheers.) Since that time what a mo-
mentous year has been passed—what alternations of
hope and fear, of grief and exultation—what courage wail
perseverance on the ores hand—what steadiness and de-
votion on the part of our enemies ! It has, indeed, been
a mighty contest, and mighty beyond all example have
been the means employed on both sides. 210,000 French
soldiers, 80,000 English, and 15,000 Piedmontese, with
1,200 guns, have been Hen t from the remotest parts of Wes-
tern Europe to the theatre of conflict on the shores of the
Crimea, and they have been confronted by at least an equal
number of Russians. (Hear.) The annals of the world
will be sought in vain for the waging of such a war at
such a distance and with such means. In comparison
with it the army of Alexander, the legions of Rome, the
hosts of the Crusaders, sink into insignificance. Pro-
portionally great have been the successes achieved in
the terrible strife which ensued. Three victories in
pitched battles in the field—an arduous and unparal-
leled siege of 10 tuonthe duration, terminating in a de-
cisive triumph—the total destruction of a fleet of 18 sail
of tire line and 100 vessels of war—the capture of a first-
rate fortress, with 6.000 pieces of cannon—and the bloody
defeat of an army of 150,000 men signalised the campaign
before the allied armies had been a year in the peninsula.
(Cheers.) Neither the storms of autumn nor the snows
of winter—neither the floods of December nor the heats
of July—neither the sword of the enemy nor the poison
of pestilence have been able to arrest that invincible host.
(Loud cheers.) More than all, they faced during 10
long and dreary months the fearful service of the trenches
—the most arduous that ever fell to- the lot of soldiers
to discharge. Theirs was none of " the pomp or cir-
cumstance of glorious war ;" theirs was not the rush of
the assault., the clang of the charge, or the roar of the
platoon ; nothing hut the horrors awl solitary discharge
of unobtrusive duty. Theirs was the silent advance at
midnight into the enemy's outposts, when the di ally
rifle was pointed from behind every rock, and d-atli met
them at every turn ; theirs was ti,e long weary night
watches in the trenches, when the wintry sky was Ulu-
mined only by the flying projectiles, and if they closed
their wearied eyelids for a few minutes a bomb burst by
their side, and they were snatched from sleep to eternity,
They suffered and p.rished in fearful muititudes; but
they suffered arid perished in silence ; o hers not less
courageous succeeded as the first fell in the deadly ;tide
in the trenches—
" They were true to the last of their blood and their breath,
And like reapers advanced to the harvest of Death,"
till the awfttl straggle was brought to a termination, and
the allied standards implanted on the ramparts of Sebas-
topol. With truth did our troops in the trenches feel,
when they beheld battery after battery blown into the
air, tower after tower wrapt in flames, ship after ship
sinking in the deep, that the hour, not of victory, but of
conquest bad come, and that in the flames around them
they beheld the self-immolation of an empire. (Cheers.)
Let it not be said that it is in a foreign or unnational
cause that this noble blood has been shed. It was
poured forth like water in the great and enduring COD-
test which from the earliest time has diVided mankind
—the strife of Greece against Persia, of Rome against
Scythia, of the Cross against the Crescent—the ever-
lasting struggle of European freedom against Asiatic
despotism. Let it not be said we have changed sides in
this conflict. We have changed allies, but not principles.
We stood by Russia when she was the last refuge of
Europe against the ambition of the first Napoleon ; and
we stand by France when she is the bulwark of Europe,
under the third Napoleon, against Muscovite aggres.
sion. I see here a change of men, but not of objects ;
and as long as there are inscribed on the banners of
Fano° the device of succour to the v/05.4 'gait/it the'

strong, the just against the unjust, I trust that ours
will be found by their siie. (Great cheering.) This is
not the first time when the armies of England and
France have been united in war. (Hear.) They fought
side by side under Richard Coeur de Lion and Philip
Augustus; they were united against the inroads of the
Saracens as they have been against the aggression of the
Muscovite. By a strange and most strikiiig coincidence
the events of the two wars are nearly parallel ; Ascalon
was the prototype of the Alma, and Acre of Sebastopol.
After a siege of two years, by the united arms of &g-
-land and France, the fortress wa, at last taken by the
impetuous assault of the French soldiery on la Tour
Maudite —the Malakhoff of Acre—which had long re
polled their arms. But though this wait the case, his-
tory, more just than our contemporaries, has assigi ed
at least an equal place in the glorious crusade te
the English under Richard as to the French under Philip
Augustus. (Cheers.) It is natural that after -so many
triumphs the people of this country should regret that in
the last assault their arms were not equally Ruccesstut
with the French. Our brave defenders have themselves
to blame for this feeling, for they have so accestomed
their countrymen to victory that they cannot tolerate
even passing repulse. Bur never was a feeling more an-
klet :4ever was one more sure to pass away. I will
make no apologies for the failure at the Redan ; I accept
'it as one of the most glorious passages in our military
history, aid so you may rest assured will your;chiidren
and children's children feel on this subject. (Cheers.)
It was impossible to hold it even when carried, fur beii g
entirely open in the rear it was commanded by other e--
trenchtnents equally strong as the one in front. Nothiek;
but a force as large as the garrison of Sebastopol coul.i
hold it against the reserves sure to be brought up. Why.
then, was it assaulted when lasting success was impel.,
sible ? Because the desperate undertaking was indisp, n-
Fable to draw off a part of the enemy's force when ti.e
decisive assault was made by the French on the Mala-
khoff. (Cheers.) Our troops, officers, and soldier;
knew this when they leapt out of the trenches, but with
heroic devotion tuey not the less bravely carried and
long held the Redan in order to enalde their ancient
rivals to maintain their footing in the Malakhoff, which
was otherwise impossible. (Cheers.) Whatever we
may think, rely upon it this will not be deemed the least
honourable page in British history. Leonidas did the
same at Thermopylae—it was an army leaping like Cur
tins into the gulf to save its country. (Loud cheer-
ing.) And the event bas proved at what a cost the
glorious sacrifice was made, and shows how the Eng-
lish officers led on their men, for while in the assault
on the Redan there were 153 officers killed and wounded
to 2,500 men, in the French on the Malakhoff there
were only 260 officers killed and wounded to 11,300
men ; and on the Russian side only 360 offiCers to 7,400
private soldiers. Rely upon it, this disinterested
self-devotion will not be forgotten in history, any more
than the heroic valour of the 3,500 soldiers has been who
fell in the vain attempt to force the breaches of Badajoz,
but thereby rendered the castle an easy conquest to Plc
ton's men, who got in by escalade. And let us not de.
tract from the merit of our gallant allies, by saying their
victory was owing to a surprise. In every desperate

_ .
siege, as in every well-debated field, the last result is
partly swing to chance. Napoleon
,himself has told us
so. But it is genius which brings matters to that point
when chance becomes decisive. It was no chance which
manned the trenches for ten long and weary menthe
with undaunted warriors; it eas no chance whic
planted 800 guns in battery around the devoted fortres-
it was no chance which drove the Russians into thei
covert in the Malakhoff when the assault was detivere.
it was the genius of Pelissier which rendered chance it-
self the instrument of his will. In these glorieu
triumphs our own countrymen have borne their fu;
share. (Cheers.) It was the Highland regiments whie'
with the Guards first planted the British staiedard on rte
heights of Alma ; they shared in the terrible service
the trenches during the last and most arduous moat
of Its endurance, and after the repulse at the Redan,
when the henour of England was pit deed to carry it, I
was the Riehland regiments which were brought up I r
the purpose of the assault on the following moral, e
Our generals knew that England's deneer is not Sc.
laud's opportunity." There is no man in the camp wit
doubts that, had the Res.-tans wit aiianclarred the
during the night, the Re an would next wonting ha,
been carried by the- Highlarid bayonets. It in the inter
val they were nut ;Actively engaged, it, was because, lit
the Tenth Legion of Cm-tar and the Old Guard of N
poleon, they paid the penalty of their fame—they wet._
placed it, defence Of the vital line of the armies' e'en
niunications, where defeat would have been ruin ; at
well did they deserve the trust. When ordered u;
from Kerr ate, to take part in the assault on the Ste u.
September, they marched 10 miles to the front, air
28 tours in the trenches under a constant fire of she
and shell, and marched Lack 10 miles more without
halting, and ouy oie man fell rut in the whole brigaeie
And these ere the men whom the Times tells US are
composed of the scouringe of Manchester and Liverpool
We woulc recommend them to go and do the eaute. The
Times tells us there is cifficulty experienced in recruit-
big the Highland regiments, and possibly it is so ; arm
I will tell you the cause, which the Times has not done.
It has not told us that, from the effects of the commer-
cial policy which it has so strongly advocated, above
300,000 persons, almost all in the prime of life, have
emigrated from the British islands annually for the last
nine years. It has not told us that during that period,
till within these few months, the depots of all the High-
land regiments have been kept out of Scotland. Why
have' they been so removed? Because, being steady,
well-conditioned troops, they could be trusted to
put down civil brawls in the manufacturing districts
of England and the south and west of Ireland.
(Hear.) And thus, having driven the Highlanders
from their native valleys by depriving them of bread,
and rendered recruiting next to impossible by removing
the depots of regiments from the country, they make it
matter of reproach against the Highlanders that it is
difficult to keep up their regiments ! (Hear, hear.) But
let the Scotch be of good cheer ; the census shows that
there are as many Highlanders in Scotland as ever there
were, though possibly they may be differently located,
Tuey may be found in the crowded city, not the lonely
glen ; but they have lost nothing of their ancient spirit
in their new abodes; and let the national regiments but
be kept up, the plumes and the tartan preserved, the
depots of Highland regiments be kept iu Scotland, and
a few chieftains follow the example of our gracious Si.
vereign on their estates, and we shall see whether there
will be any difficulty in filling up their ranks. But,
alas ! gentlemei., there are other feelings than those
which we should express before we separate :
" Now joy old England raise,
"For the tioings of thy might,
" By the festal cities' blaze,
" When the wino cup shines in light.
"Yet amidst this joy and uproar,
" Let us think of them that sleep
" Full many a fathom deep
" By thy wild and stormy steep

vehement applauge, and the toast was received with en-
thusiasm,)
Captain WILKINSON acknowledged the toast nn behalf
of the Highland Division. He could assure the company
that there was not a man of them who would not be
grateful for the compliment. (Cheers.) In simply re-
turning thanks for the toast he begged to be allowed to
propose " the health of Sir Colin Campbell, the head of
the Highland Division." (Cheers.)
Pledged with all the honours.
Mr. Bailie COCHRANE, who was received with cheers,
spoke as follows :—The toast which has been in-
trusted to me is one which I am most happy to have
tie honour of proposing to your acceptance, not only
because it is one which insures your hearty concurrence,
but, Moreover, it possesses an interest peculiarly grate-
-1 to wyself, as it alsociatel zue with mylaativp county,

It is not for me, within the walls of this splendid.
or in this great city, surrounded by its merchant prin At
to insist on its vast and increasing importance. A 'NI
around bears testimony to this • but I have read so often-
that the wealth of cities and the extension of commerce
natural!, tend to weaken all noble and heroic qualitits
that I am delighted at the glorious opportunity you bas •
ari
had, ef ,i hick yo.i have• a' ways availed yourselves, of
di,proving this assertion. (Cheer=.) The facts which
I have the honour of submitting to you are.sufficient.,
when I tell you that G:aQgow contributed not less than
44179/. to the Patriotic Fund, and that the county of
Lanarkshire, independently of Glasgow. contributed
3,8311., without counting the contributions from
Airdrie, Carluke, and other districts, which were
transmitted separately. (Great cheering.) These
were the moue:, contributions, but were there no
others I. Let us ask whether this county and this city
have not sent forth many hundreds to swell the crowd
of heroes at Alma, Itikerman, Balaklava, and the Redant

then, that we should assemble together to give vent
to our feelings il gia location that their (ft its have
been crowned with success, and if few have parted
where many m.,-,t these few have finally tiiumphed.
(Cheers.) This war has taturht us one great thing—it
has shown us that the spirt of the people has not eva-
porated with a long peace. Way, there were those who
ventured to say that our armies had become enervated,
like the Roman legions after Canna ; that our men
were not made of the same stuff as the heroes of the
Peninsula and Waterloo. But, after Alma, Inkerman
and Balaklava, such doubt is heard no more—
" The slander's dispelled like the mist from the sun,
It veils not the grave where our heroes repose,
On the limber of many a Muscovite put,
We have scored the rebuke in the blood of our foes."
And if we seek for individual instances, let me ask you,
is there anything in military aanals greater than what is
recorded of our own generals and those of our allies! I
have lately been reading the letters of Marshal St Ar-
naud, and there are passages which must call forth tears
of admiration—it is a glorious contribution to the his-
tory of great ner,,es 11a. writes on the 21tri September,

iFi making rapid progress. He is writing to his wife—
" Dearest friend," he says, "we mu-t not dwell on ob-
stacles, except to conquer them. The path of duty is
&tar to each. Glory and h9nour shall lead the way, the
Pahnon will do the rest. But I must tell you that to all
my physical sufferings now are added the deepest
anxieties. All I ask is time to accompii,h my mission.
Then the inflammation may spread, and all will end. I
~ve you with all the str,iigth cf illy s,ul, and in that
love I find renewed strength." (Cheers.) Talk of jea-,

general preferring Pelissier to himself, and placing him-

his subordinate, and, when offered a marshal's baton at
the same time as Pelissier, he declined it, because he
thought his acceptance of it might somewhat dim the
lustre of the compliment paid to his companion in
arms I The hon. gentleman concluded by proposing
" the city of Glasgow and county of Lanark, which have
contributed so largely to the Army and the Patriotic
Fund" amid hind and reiterated applause.
Professor NICHOL having proposed " The Army,"
A private soldier, named M`DAvm, retuined thanks
for the toast in a lively, off-banded, soldier-like way.
Sir A. ALISON, in the absence of Mr. Stirling, of
Beir, M.P., proposed "The Press."
Sir M. S. STEWART proposed " the health of Sir Ar-
chibald Alison as croupier," and the toast was drunk
with great applause.
Sir A. ALISON returned thanks in a few words.
Mr. Macaw:nu, M.P., proposed " the Ladies," and
the company separated after doing full justice to the
toast.

of the Mr. P ,ynder, of 1, Moira-place; N.iomi
Kiegswell, a fine giri of about 23 years of age,
a-as deiibr?rately murdered by a fellow-servant, named
Edward Baker. It appears that the deceased, together

the, Isle Wigh!. During their stay in MAra-plrice an

S'ele i eried. Some littie time since, how-
r, S. Baker was guilty of an act which caused
event ',fl.:r:c.. to the deceased—in min, so annoyed efts
she his conduct that, after informing him of it, she
told him th:4,he woad ..o longer receive him as a suitor.
B tk, r hois evtr, persisre,: mu-t po-itively that the whole
-t ry ,Atts (moue-, and cos, limed ti. renew his pre-
vious attvntioas, which the unlortunate deceased as de-
terininedly refused. This morning, about one o'clock,
while KingsVitill and another female servant were in the
kitchen occupied irt the duties of the house, Baker came
behind the deceased, and, placing a loaded pistol at the
hack of her ear, deliberately blew her brains out, killing
her on the spot. The ball pare,ed eomplatelY through
the back part of her head. An alarm was immediately
raised by the other servant, who at once rushed to the
front dour in a state of the greatest alarm, and, a police.
man having arrivr d, the murderer was taken into cue-
tory, and lodged in the police-station. As Boon a, Baker
bad murdered his victim beremanied perfectly still, and
never atttempted in the slightest degree to make his
escape, or excuse himself for his horrible conduct.
The reverend gentleman of the house, who is a re-
tired clergyman, is away from home for the benefit
of his health but his lady, who was at a church
near, was immediately seat for. During the afternoon a
large number of persons have visited the locality, and the
dreadful affair has caused the greatest excitement through-
out the town. Upon searching the prisoner a wedding
ring was found in one of his pockets, which leads to the
conclusion that had it not been for the quarrel the de.
ceased and _Baker would shortly have been married. An
inquest will, doubtless, be held to-morrow.
