• Mr. N011:;'ON rose.—ln the name of his brethren of the ber
and himself, returned their most grateful thanks. Although
he could not affect w say but that the compliment of this toast
was expected on the present occasion, he certainly could not
have presaged the flattering and cordial manner in which it had
been introduced and received. lie could not forbear at the
present moment to express his obligations to their excellent
President, for the kind and honourable allusions to himself as
having been originally deemed worthy to occupy his chair.—
He believed, indeed, that it was well known to the present corn-.
parry that none amongst the numerous friervs of Mr. Crawford'
who enjoyed the advantage of his familiar intimacy, could
boast a warmer feeling of attachment towards him than
himself. At the same time his acquaintance with that
Gentleman was comparatively of short standing,—as short,
indeed, as his acquaintance with the society itseit of this Pre..
sidency. However anxious, therefore, he might feel to distin-
guish himself as the foremost in doing honour. to .111 r. Craw-
ford, it would indeed have been presumption and an usurpa-
tion in him to have arrogated that conspicuous station so
ably filled by a Gentleman of exalted" rank in -the Govern-
ment, who hail been united in the closest bonds of friend.
ship with Air. Crawford for an unbroken series of eighteen
years, and who wax so universally beloved and respected
throughout all classes of our community. For the Bar of
Bombay and for himself, as a member of it, he would say;
that the integrity aad manly indenendence, which lied been
referred to by their President as die appropriate charaeteris_
tics of his honourable profession, were qualities which he and.
they knew could alone entitle them to that lasting estima-
tion with the public, to which it was alm:rst .the business of
their lives to aspire. They had it ever impressed upon their
feelings and conviction, that to the conduct end character of-
the members of his profession were attached the dearen- in-
terests of Englishmea. It was the highe,t an I most heart.
felt gratification to them to infer, from the kindness with
which their names had been mentioned, and the cordiality
with which the present testimony of their respect had .been
paid them, that they had acquired that estimation in society,
which it was their continued object to preserve. Their proles-.
sional tasks could not fail to be, in so limited a community,
sometimes delicate and difficult, but if on such trying occasions
his friends and himself laboured- to pursue an unswayed .and
unswerving course, according to the interests reposed in them,
he trusted they should never thereby lose any portion of that
friendship and goodwill which in private life associated them
all. He thanked, with deepfeh sincerity, the President for the
expression of his personal friendship towards himself, it was a
friendship he hoped long to retain, and he was sure it was one
that he could only forfeit by his own fault. In the name of his
brethren present, whose feelings and sentiments on this occa-
sion he knew all well to be his own, he again fervently thanked
the company for the honours which they hid received at their
hands.

This speech, like the preceding one, was received with great
applause.
Soon after Mr. Norton had taken his seat, Mr. CRAWFORD
again rose'and addressed the meeting in nearly the following
words :

I must once more trespass on your attention for a few mo-
ments, and propose to you a toast, which, like others that have
preceded, will, I am persuaded, be received with satisfaction by
all present. We have drank, Gentlemen, to various branches
-of the Government, civil, military, and marine, and I do not
know why the church should be forgotten on this occasion;
for the presence of several of its most respectable members is a
sufficient assurance that religion and rational conviviality may
go hand in hand with each other. It is not my intention to
trace the progress of the ecclesiastical establishment of our
country in India ; it will be .sufficient for my present purpose
to my, that the wisdom of the Legislature thought it desirable
to put the clerical body on a different and, perhaps I may•be I
permitted to add, a more respectable footing than it had been
before that period, and that it was our fortune to have my
worthy mad esteemed friend on my right appointed to the A rch-
(lea tonry of this Presidency. His conduct in that office has de-
servedly obtained for him the approbation and respect of aociety
at large, and I cannot better convey to you my own sense of
his merits than by expressing the regret I feel at his intended
departure, though I shall not be here to Witness it; and my
hopo that his successor, whoever he may be, may tread in the
footsteps of Archdeacon Barnes. 1 propose to you, Gentlemen,
the health of the Archdeacon of Bombay, and the Members of
the Ecclesiastical Establishment of this Presidency.—Drank,
with much applause.
.• The Rev. litieTtetataie, in an address which we should
attempt in vain to recapitulate, and do it the justice it merited,
returned thanks for, himself, and on the behalf of the clergy of
Bombay.
The A DVoCATE-GIN RAL then proposed a matt which he
- was convinced all the present company would consioer appro.
peiately connected with that evening's festivity, he meant that
Of " Prosperity to the genetal Commercial interest of Bom-
bay." He felt assured that every mercantile man under this
Government, who had lead an extensive experience, both
knew, and was ready to acknctwledge the benefits which their
common interests had deriied through the housa of Crawford
and Co. Among those benefits perhaps the chiefest was,
that by exact integrity in all their dealings, that house had
ever upheld and explained the liberal and honourable prin-
ciples which AD conspicuously characterises the British mer-
chant. Mr. Crawford had not only sustained that high cha..
racter to the common honour and credit of his fellow-coun-
trymen so extensively following in his own prosperous path,
but he had transfused much of that principle of mercantile
candour and uprightness throughout all clams of the supe-
rior natives, to their lasting advantage, as well as honour.
A very numerous body of them bad vary recently come
forward, irresistibly urged, as they expressed themselves,
to pay a debt of gratitude to that Gentleman, and attri-
buting, with heartfelt consciousness, much of the• ad.
vancement and extension of their commercial prosperity
to his intercourse among them. It is from the Prevalence of
feerngs and principles like these, and to the high character sus-
tained by our merchants of every ciao and tribe, that we may
indulge the hope, which he encouraged as an assured one, that
this Presidency, originally the nucleus, will one day have
swelled into the emporium of Eastern trade. As we cannot
but be every one of us individually concerned in the prosperity
of our general commercial interests, he besought the present
company to testify their zealous cordiality in drinking the toast
he proposed with three times three.—Received and drank with
greet applause.
Mr. Pa INSEP returned thanks for himself, and on behalf of
the mercantile Gentlemen of the Presidency, in a neat speech.
Mr. WEDDERIJURN, in a short speech, proposed a bumper
to Capt. Thacker, and a prosperous voyage to the Upton Castle,
which was drank -with much applause.
Capt. THACKER, in a neat address, returned thanks for the
honour done to hit».' _ _

Major BELLASI3 proposed, in an interesting speech, a
bumper to the health of an old friend, Commodore John Hayes,
which was drank with applause, and for which Mr. Crawford
returned his heartfelt thanks.

Many other toasts were given appropriate to the convivial en-
gagements of the evening, and several excellent songs were
sungs by ainateurs.
On no occasion do we recollect to have witnessed an enter.
tainnient where more hilarity and good humour prevailed, or
white more desire was evinced on the part of every individual
to do justice to the object of the meeting. This evening will
long be considered by all who were present, as one which has
the strongest claims to be remembered with the most pleasur.
able feelings.
To the above highly gratifying testimony of the esteem In
which Mr. Crawford is held by his countrymen in this Presi-
dency, i3.to be added the proof of the respect felt towards him
by the native mercantile community, lately evinced in the pre-
sentation to him of a piece of plate, valued at 700 guineas, ac-
companying an address of the most flattering description, which
is signed by all the native merchants of any consideration in
the place.

The Duke of Butos heard the decree for his

Tribunal, in 1793, with unmoved tranquillity.
