P • L.e nationalities of which we may well be proud, and
of which no cne can deprive us. Surely it is right,
then, that we should assemble together to give vent
to our feelings of graification that their efforts have
been crowned with success, and if few have parted
where many met these few have finally triumphed.
(Cheers.) This war has taught na one great thing—it
has shown us that the spirit of the people has not eva-
porated with a long peoaor armiese.Wh had

ventured to say that our
like the Roman legions after Canna ; that ear 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 gem,
We have scored the rebuke in the bused of our foes."
And if we seek for individual instanoes, let me ask you,
is there anything in military annals 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 her,lis. He writes on the 514th September,
en the eve of his. etnbatbation for the Crimes, that ho.
felt he was dying. Ho speaks of crises which have be-
come more and mere violent, and of inflammation which
is snaking Timid 'progress. He is writing to his wife—
" Dearest friend," he says, " we must not dwell on ob-
stacles, exoept to conquer them. The path of duty is
char to each. Glory and honour shall lead the way, the
.annon 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 accomplish my mission.
Then the inflammation may spread, and all will end. I
love you with all the strength of my soul, and in that
love I find renewed strength." (Cheers.) Talk of jea-
lousies, of petty feelings, mark how the two generals
speak of each other. Marsal St. Arnaud, bears testi-
mony to Lord Raglan's greatness—" Lord Raglan is
loyalty itself. The more he is known the more he must
be appreciated. And, on the other band, when death
had laid his cold finger on the Marshal, Lord Raglan,

strong, the just against the unjust, I trust that our.
i will be found by their side. (Great cheering.) This 'i,,
i tot the first time when the armies of England arid
France here 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
Saracen's as they have been against the aggression of the
Muscovite. By a strange and most striking coincidence
the events of the two wars are nearly parallel ; Ascalon
was the prototype of the Alma, and Acre of Sebastopol. •

land and France, the fortress was at last taken:, e'.'

‘...ais Was the case, 'his-
tory, more just than our contemporaries, has assigned
at least an equal r' contemporaries,
in the glorious crusade to
the English adder Richard as to the French under Philip
Augustus. (C-acre.) It is natural that after so many
triumPhg the people of this country should regret that in
',bi-. last assault their arms were not equally successful
with the French. Our brave defenders have themselves
to blame for this feeling, for they have so accustomed
their countrymen to victory that they cannot tolerate
even passing repulse. Bur never was a feeling more un-
just : never was one more sure to pass away. I will
male no apologies for the failure at the Redan ; I accept
it as one of the most glorious passages in our military
history, and so you may rest assured will yourchildren
and children's children feel on this subject. (Cheers.)
It was impossible to hold it even when carried, for being
entirely open in the rear it was commanded by other en-
trenchments equally strong as the one in front. Nothing
but'a force as large as the garrison of Sebastopol could
hold it against the reserves sure to be brought up. Why,
then, was it assaulted when lasting success was imp:ri-
sible ? Because the desperate undertaking was indispen-
sable to draw off a part of the enemy's force when the
decisive assault was made by the French on the Male-
khoff. (Cheers.) Our 'troops, officers, and soldiers
knew this when they leapt out of the trenches, but with
heroic devotion they not the less bravely carried and
long held the Redan in 'order to enable 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 Cure
this into the gulf to save its country. (Loud cheer-
ing.) And the event has 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
-elf-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 Badajoa,
but thereby rendered the castle an easy conquest to Pic
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 owing 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 months
with undaunted warriors ; it was no chance which
planted 800 guns in battery around the devoted fortress ;
it was no chance which drove the Russians into their
covert in the Alalakhoff when the assault was delivered ;
it was the genius of Pelissier which rendered chance it-
self the instrument of his will. In these glorious
triumphs our own countrymen have borne their full
share. (Cheers.) It was the Highland regiments which
with the Guards first planted the British standard on the
heights of Alma ; they shared in the terrible service of
the trenches during the last and 'post arduous months
of its endurance, and after the repulse at the Redan, and
when the honour of England was pleded to carry it, it
was the Highlaed regiments which were brought up for
,
the purpose of the assault on the *following morning.
Our generals knew that "England's danger is not Scot
laud's opportunity." There is no man in the camp who
doubts that, had the Russians not abandoned the place
during the night, the Redan would next morning have
been carried by the Highland bayonets. If in the inter-
val they were not actively engaged, it was because, like
the Tenth Legion of Ciesar and the Old Guard of Na-
poleon, they paid the penalty of their fame—they were
placed in defence of the vital line of the armies' com-
munications, where defeat would have been ruin ; and
well did they deserve the trust. When ordered up
from Kamera to take part in the assault on the Bth of
September, they marched 10 miles to the front, were
28 hours in the trenches under a constant fire of shot
and shell, and marched back 10 miles more without
halting, and only oae man fell cut in the whole brigade.
And these are the men whom the Times tells us are
composed of the scourings of Manchester and Liverpool.
We would recommend them to go and do the same. The
Times tells us there is difficulty experienced in recruit-
ing
the Highland regiments, and possibly it is so ; and
I will tell you the cause, which the Times has not dove.
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 Ilighlandere
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 ! (HearAear.) But
let the Scotch be of good (dicer ; the census shows that
there are as many Highlanders in Scotland as ever there
were, though possibly they may be differently located.
They 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 in Scotland, and
! a few chieftains follow the example of our gracious Se_
vereign on their estates, and we shall see whether there
will be any difficulty in filling up their ranks. But,
alas ! gentlemen, there are other feelings than ;those
which we should express before we separate :

vehement applause, and the toast was received with en-
thusiasm.)

Captain 'WILKINSON acknowledged the toast on 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.)

Mr. Bailie COCHRANE, who was received with cheats,
spoke as follows :—The toast which has been in-
