SIR DR LACY EVANS.

A braver soldier than Sir De Lacy Evans, whol7as
just returned from the Crimea, never sustained the
honour of his country. There may exist doubts as to
the capacity for command of other officers engaged,
whatever may be their personal bravery, but in the case
of the gallant soldier of whom we are now speaking,
there Cali be no hesitation in saying that in the Crimea,
as elsewhere, he was ever found equal to the occasion,
and to the situation in which he was placed. His post
was that of General of Division ; and, had every
superior post in the army been as well filled by
the officer who held it as was that of Sir De
Lacy Evans, we should not now be reckoning
up our unfortunate countrymen by slaughtered heca-
tombs. In his case there is no running sway from the
stern calls of duty. It is not for the sake of a soft pillow
and a brilliant Mayfair drawing-room that the brave old
man has abandoned his brethren in arms. While human
nature could hold out ho remained at his post, and it
was not until repeated trials had convinced him that he
was of no further use in the field that he resolved, sadly
but wisely, to try for a time the effect of his native air
and comparative tranquillity. 'We have heard of some
200 young officers who have applied for leave of absence
because they were sickened and disgusted with the heavy
service of the camp and the trenches—not because they
shrank from conflict with the foe. They might have
taken a lesson from this old soldier, now in his tiSth
year and worn out with hard service in every
quarter of the globe, through a period extending over
half a century. He was confined by severe illness to
his tent. He met with an accident on horseback,
having Leen thrown upon his head, and his horse rolled
over him. He was suffering from chronic disease, and
swallowing the most powerful antidotes in order to fit
himself for service whenever the hour of danger came.
" During the occasional northerly winds," Sir De Lacy
Evans writes to Lord Raglan, " I was obliged to have
my tent fur twenty-four hours together wholly closed,
and gave and received orders through my unopened
tent doors. Some of your Lordship's staff will also
remember how often in bringing me orders they found
me in bed, or rather in my blankets, on the ground,
when I ought rather to have been, if I could, on
horseback." It] was not until the brave old man had
convinced himself that the public service might receive
detriment from his persistence in a post the duties of
which he was no longer able to discharge that he re-
solved to apply for leave of absence, and to return to his
native land. Let him be assured that there is no one
among his countrymen who does not appreciate the value
of his services, of his professional skill, and of his gal-
lantry in the field.

It would be unpardonable if we were to pais ever
without mention the incident connected with the battle

of Inkerman which has done so much honour to this
brave officer. To be sure, it is in everbody's mouth, but
it would be difficult to speak of his return 'to Eng-
land without recurring to the fact of his having risen
from a sick-bed on that bloody day, and caused himself
to be conveyed to his own division, in order that he
might share the perils of his men, and endeavour to as-
sist by his counsels his second in command. It will re-
main recorded among the brightest incidents of this
sanguinary struggle that the chief refused to stand in
the light of his subordinate,—that he would not resume
a command which he saw was wisely used, but contented
himself with sharing the danger, and leaving the glory
to another man. The story is best told in his own
simple and unassuming language :—" On hearing heavy
firing on the morning 'of Sunday, the sth, though the
weather was bad, and I had taken mercury, I proceeded
as fast as I could to the point of attack, and remained
there till the close of the battle, but felt neither jus-

tified nor fit to take the command of the division
from General Pennefather, which he had exercised,
with so much ability in the previous part of the day.
This was the old soldier's last effort ; he was conveyed
from the field, "after the close of the battle," to a ship
in the harbour, and was compelled to resign himself to
the conviction that at his advanced age the struggle
against nature and the elements, against his own con-
stitutional disease, and the pestilence flying about the
camp, was above his strength. Well and truly had he
done his duty to the last, for but nine days before the
battle of Inkerman he bad repelled a most determined
attack upon the position of the division under
his command. We have the authority of his
Commander-in-Chief for stating that never in any
former period of his career did the military ability
of the gallant General display itself with greater
lustre, and never was an effort attended with
more complete success. And this was done by a man
whose years were verging on the extreme limit ordina-
rily assigned to humanity—his body covered with the
scars of many wounds—the most honourable insignia
of many a well•fought day—and, in addition to this,
his frame was attenuated and worn down by a consti-
tutional disease.

The record of Sir De Lacy Evans's services reads like
an epitome of well nigh all the wars in which this coffin•

try has been engaged since the rupture of the Peace of
Amiens. He has been fifty years in the army, sad has
been present in fifty great battles. He has served in
the East Indies, in the West Indies, and in the
United States. Ho accompanied the Duke of Wel-.;
lington through his career of conquest in the Spanish
Peninsula, and there greatly distinguished himself,
wherever distinction was to be carried by reckless
exposure of himself or prudent care for others. It was
he who, at the head ofla hundred men, forced the Rouse
of Congress at Washington. He performed, besides,
many important services in the same querter. He was
at Waterloo, and showed himself to be among the
bravest and most competent officers on that dreadful.
day. It would be idle to recur to his more recent ser-
vices in Spain in behalf of a constitutional throne
which scarcely deserved the support of such a.
Paladin,Now that all the angry passions and jea-
lousies of the day have subsided, few men will
question that throughout the Spanish campaign Sir
De Lacy Evans proved himself to be an excellent
and successful officer, not unworthy of high command.
We cannot but feel that in losing the benefit of his
services in the Crimea we have lost the assistance of ore
of the best officers in the army. In the existing condi-
tion of the Army List he cannot lightly be replaced.
How did he obtain his ski!! ? Where did he serve his
apprenticeship to the stern trade of war ? He was no
creature of Horse Guards favour, he was not the protege
of a high connexion, nor pushed forward by unfair in-
fluence. He fitted himself for command by constant
service in the field. He was a good ()Meer, because be
had seen military service in every form.--Times.

ePOPTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTER SALL'S—Mospir

Speculation moved very slowly at first, but proceeded
somewhat briskly towards'. the close.

The transactions placed St. Hubert at the head of the
list, for which 10 to 1 was the highest offer ventured
against him, 11 and 12 to 1 against De Clare and Grm-
culus Esuriens were laid to some money. St. Hubert
was not backed outright, but soon after the commence-
ment his real position was made manifest by 1,000 even
and 500 even being betted that he beats Grmculus, and
1,000 even being offered that he and Lord of the Isles
beat any other two. Oulston and Rifleman wero nomi-
nally at 15 to i each, but they had nevertheless staunch
adherents who would have increased their investments
had a point or two more been offered.
Polydore again found ready takers of 1,000 to 35, and
in two or three instances 1,000 to 40 was booked ; the
higher odds were, however, again obtainable afterwards,
The quotations against Wild Dayrell and Flatterer were
only to small sums. Rambling Katie was backed feur
or five times at 1,000 tols, and the same Qdds were laid
against Clernentina colt.

Report of the President of the Senate, in the
name of the Committee charged with examining
the law authorising the Finance Minister to eon-
tract a loan of 500 millions.
Gentlemen,—When, last year, the invasion of the
Otterean territory occasioned the rupture of that peace
which was SO dear to the interests of civilised nation!,
France had not a moment's uneasiness about the supe-
riority of her arms ; but she did not expect that one
campaign could conduct her to the end of a diffi-
cult and remote war. Victory, in fact, has shown her-
self true to the flag of Zurich and Moscow. Yet Rus-
sia, notwithstanding the reverses of her diplomatists
arid armies, seems as if she wished to turn a deaf ear
to the remonstrances of Europe, and to the warnings
of Bornarsund, the Alma, and Inkerman.
Gentlemen, you have heard the very firm words of the
Emperor ; they have caused to vibrate the heart of the
country, which thinks it has done nothing so long as
anything remains to do.
Great events, therefore, aro preparing for 1855. Time
greatest of all would be doubtless, that aspecific solution
might spring out of this European movement, in which
the idea of peace is dominant amid the din of combats.
But, if there be a sure way of obtaining it, it Is by our
strength being put forth on a par with our right, and by
every one knowing.in the second as well as in the first
hour that France can expect everything from her
soldiers, her wealth, and her credit.
In A few months our armies have already gained by
conquest imperishable palms. They have survived the
epidemic and the tempest, surmounted the fatigues and
hardships, and braved the inequality of numbers. Their
constancy has been sublime, and by their irresistible
valour, they have struck with astonishment and almost
admiration our very enemy himself.
France is proud of such children ; she depends on
her brave sons, who from their very first battle have
shown themselves the rivals of the grand army, those
veterans of a hundred fights.
She depends also on her alliances.
At the beginning of last session we congratulated
ourselves on our union with England. This was
only brought about by the wisdom of the two Govern-
ments, and the good sense of the two people. A.
strong brotherly concord has been now formed in
the East by the outpouring in common of most
precious blood, and by sharing the same trials and
the same glories. This is why—at the moment when
the Emperor so nobly expressed at the Imperial sitting
the national gratitude for the sentiments of the English
Parliament, for the co-operation of the intrepid armies
of Great Britain, and for the skill of their illustrious
chiefs—unanimous acclamations burst forth with enthu-
siasm, and yours wore not the least fervid. Those ac-
clamations which we confirm here, in the maturity of
our reflections, will resound on the other side of the
Channel, they will be re-echoed also by the future, in
order to mark the fundamental regeneration of modern
policy, and one of the most ;striking characteristics of
the Emperor's reign.
Another alliance, equally memorable on account of
its date Land spirit, has just been contracted with Aus-
tria, and by it the old league of the north is broken up.
This alliance, foreseen since the opening of last session,
and in a manner predicted by an august and profound
thought, astonishes Russia and her partisans. The still
surviving antipathies of 1815 do not comprehend bow a
great power, long friendly, can cause its foreign policy'
to be based on the free appreciation of its legitimate in-
terests, and no longer on a dread of the French Revolu-
tion. But it has not escaped the sagacity of the Empe-
ror of Austria that many things have been changed in
the world by the accession of Napoleon the Third ; that
the Imperial throne has risen again, not on the ruins of
social principles', set for time triumph of those ideas that
render states stable and prosperous ; and that the
moment had come for repudiating traditions henceforth
captious and superannuated, and for coniding in a
power that loyally maintains the equilibrium of Europe
and the peace of nations. Everything is linked in
policy ; the return to order through the 2d of December
was destined irrevocably to bring after it in its train the
return to truth in our international relations.
Such, gentlemen, is the state of the foreign affairs of
the country. In order to preserve its advantages, in
order to meet the necessities of the war and shorter, its
duration by the energy of the means, the Legislative
Corps has voted a law authorising the Geeernment to
contract a loan of 500 millions, and the lieuperor has in.
dicated the mode to Which he ' gave the preference.
Now, gentlemen the constitution only,reeuires of you
one thing, to wit ; if there is in this law anything that
entrenched on the groat principles of which you are the
guardians, enclosed in this narrow circle from which you
might wish to issue in order to give freer expression to
your sentiments, you will remember the limit of your
attributes, and you will confine yourselves to answering
with unanimity that nothing better could be done,
whether for the honour of France, that is destined to
come forth victorious from this contest of justice against
ambition, or fur the consolidation of the imperial throne,
the basis of the constitution, or for the Emperor him-
self, to whom we are indebted for the power of weging
a political and net a revolutionary war, for the alliance
