DEAFNESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible
Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at an advanced
age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in general
conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker
at a public assembly; they are the size of a very small gold
seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they
are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than
having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; they are composed
of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to the Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons themselves ; and although they are so extremely small
yet they enable those afflicted with extreme deafness, and
those who are only slightly dull of hearing t• hear in every
' respect equal to those of most acute hearing. Messrs.

Upon the removal of tile cloth,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of her Ma-
jesty the Queen," which was received with great applause.
The CnaittuAst Our gave " His Royal Highness
-Prince Albertovittittitte.titietthree,"- which was most
warmly responded to.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of the
Queen Dowager," which was also responded to with
loud cheers.

The CHAIRMAN then rose, and, after eulogising the
character of Lord Ellenborougb, said that he felt con-
fident that his Lordship would be found fully adequate
to the high duties which he would have to perform.
He expressed his belief that the great interests en-
trusted to his charge would be satisfactorily performed.

Tbat was not the time or place to enter into any gene-

rat discussion, and he woald propose " The health o
Lord Ellenborough, with the warmest wishes for his

prosperity" The toast was received with great applause.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH assured the company that he
felt most deeply the importance of the trust which had
been delegated to him, but at the same time he expressed
his gratification in acknowledging his thanks to those
who had thought him worthy of the appointment. He felt
confident that this partiality was in some degree owing to
the opinion entertained of him by those conversant
with the affairs of India that he had endeavoured
to promote the prosperity of that country, not
that there was any personal feeling in the question.
His object would be to give confidence and strength
to the Government of India. He should fail in
the great object he had in view if he had not the
confidence of those who had delegated him to the trust.

The Noble Lord alluded to the connection which he had
had with the India Board under the Governments of

the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, as showing
the confidence they bad in him in having delegated to
him the high duties be had now to perform. He knew
too well the great difficulties of the situation in which
he had been placed ; and if he effected one-tenth of the
great objects which he had in view, be should be well
pleased. He hoped that the interests of ,India as well
as of this country, would be advanced by his exertions.
He felt that he had to succeed a nobleman of great
practical ability ; arid, united as he had been with Lord
Auckland, and knowing the great ability of the Noble
Lord, he felt that he bad much to do in conducting
with honour the affairs of India. To terminate the
war with China beneficially to the honour of the country,
and to produce tranquillity on both banks of the Indus,
required skill of no ordinary kind. In a word, his ob-
ject would be to give peace to Asia, to give tran-
quillity to that, country, without which the 'influ-
ence of this country was valueless—to promote a liberal
and honeSt Government—to augment the happiness of
the natives—to impart what we know gradually, cau-
tiously, having regard to the prejudices of the natives,
and to elevate the character of that mighty people.—
(Loud cheers.) Feeling that it would be his first duty
to promote the interests of the people of India, as it
would be to the interest of England, it would be his
duty to improve the resources of the country, as afford-
ing the best means of obtaining remittances to England.
By this means the trade of both countries would be
improved. He had the most unbounded confidence in
the army and its discipline, and the power of the Go-
vernment to command a willing obedience on the part
of a grateful people.
.Deeply impressed with the im-
portance of the duties he had to fulfil, he hoped that he
should execute them so as to produce good to England,
as well as to India. Not having made one single pro-
mise in assuming the office of Governor-Gcnerat, he was
determined that the Government of India should not be
the Government of a party.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of Lord
Haddington and the Navy," with three times three.
Lord HADDINGTON returned thanks on behalf of the
great service to which the wealth, the honour, and
safety of the country were indebted. From the com-
mencement of the operations of the navy on the coast of
India, down to those in the China seas, the services
of the British navy were acknowledged. Connected as
he had been with service in India, it was with peculiar
pleasure that he had accepted the invitation to attend
there that day, and to express his gratification at the
excellent appointment that had been made in the per,
son of the Noble Lord.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " Lord Hill and the
Army," which was received with loud cheers.
Lord HILL said he was grateful for the owortunity
afforded him of expressing his opinion riper. the appoint-
ment that had been made. He alluded to the brilliant
services of the army in India. He considered there
never had been a man who had gone to India more
qualified than the Noble Lord to support European
policy. He felt full confidence in him, and that he
would conscientiously discharge every duty entrusted
to him.
Mr. LYALL, after a few comment., next proposed
the " Health of Sir Robert Peel and her Majesty's
Ministers."—(Great applause.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was his duty on the part
of the Members of her Majesty's Government, to return
their warmest thanks for the compliment which had
been paid to them. It nest be satisfactory to the Min-
isters of the Crown to be complimented in a company
among so many who were present who had distinguished
themselves in military and civil services in this and
another country with which the proceedings of that day
were so intimately connected. Yielding to none in his
anxious desire for the prosperity of India, it must be
highly satisfactory to receive such marks of esteem and
confidence from those deeply interested in the affairs of
India. Upon a mutual confidence between the autho-
rities of this country and those of India must in a great
measure depend the successful administration of affairs
in the latter. As his (Sir R. Peel's) name had been
mentioned by the Honourable Chairman, he might say
that although he had not been brought into immediate
connection, to any extent, with those connected with In-
dian affairs, still he had felt the warmest interest upon the
subject. He should have been wanting in his duty if
he had not required the assistance of his Noble Friend
(Lord Ellenhorough.)—(Loud cheers.) After an
acquaintance of fifteen years with the Noble Lord, un-
chequered by a single misunderstanding or dispute,
knowing his high integrity, his strict honour, his great ,
ability, his indefatigable industry and powers of elo-
quence,
he (Sir R. Peel), would have been wanting in
his duty to the country if he had not selected him to
undertake the high office to which he had been ap-
pointed. When he asked himself the question if the
East India Company would accept him, or that the
Crown would refuse the appointment, he felt confi lent
that that greet man (pointing to the Duke of Welling-
ton) would not withhold his consent. When he (Sir
R. Peel) recollected the knowledge of Indian affairs
which the Noble Lord had, and stimulated as he was to
promote the welfare of that country—knowing, too, the
deep interest he took in advancing the interests of the na-
tives, founded not on the narrow edge of the sword, but
upon the broad basis of general good, though it
deprived him (Sir R. Peel) of a valuable friend, yet be
had considered it a paramount duty to ask him to ac-
cept the appointment..—(Loud cheers.) He (Sir It.
Peel) breathed but the wishes of all with whom he was
connected, that his Noble Friend might return to his
native land, after having successfully executed the duties
of his high appointment, in health and prosperity, to
receive from a grateful people those marks of approba-
tion which are accorded to those who honestly perform
the public duty.—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then roso to propose the " Health
of the Duke of Wellington."—Drunk amidst great
acclamation, with three times three.
The Duke of WELLINGTON returned
s Grace,thanks
my
the honour done him. It was, said
anxious desire to attend upon e_he occasion of this
festival to my Noble Friend, andl felt much grati-
fied at the invitation. Having myself served the East
India Company when
a a younger man, I have
b d •
ever since felt the mosti was
lively anxiety to promote
the advantage of that excellent oly, which 1 bad
the honour of serving. Gentlemen, must say I have
occasion to congratulate you on this appointment, for
not only is my Noble Friend known among the great
statesmen of this country for his integrity, zeal, and
ability, but for his long and able administration of the
office of First Commissioner for the Affairs of India,

and the proof he has given of having devoted all his
talent to the grand object of making himself master of
the details of those affairs. My Noble Friend, ther -Jere.
unites all the advantages ci a distinguished statesman
with the knowledge and experience that might be ex-
pected to result only from a long residence. He has
gained at home a knowledge which other men could
only haae obtained from lengthened personal experience
in the country itself. Gentlemen, I say that the con-
fidence of the Court of Directors could not have been
placed in a person better qualified ; and I fully concur
with her Majesty's Government in the wisdom of the
choice, for all must be satisfied that it is the wish of
my Noble Friend to further the welfare, content-
ment, and happiness of the people over whom he is
to preside. My Noble Friend bas stated likewise
thst it is his anxious desire to cooperate with the
Court of Directors, in promoting peace, commtrce, and
the arts, and which I cert hilly hope and trust he will
do. I also hope that my Noble Friend may have the
power to put at rest that great question which has
been in a state of uncertainty in the north-west of
India, as well as in Central Asia, and thus give security
to the possessions under your superintendence and
government, and enable you to apply your great re-
sources to promote still further the happiness and pros-
parity of India. I feel great pleasure in acknowledging
the compliment paid to me.—(The Noble Duke sat
down amidst loud cheers.)
The Band—" See the Cmquering Hero comes."
The Duke of WELLINGTON again rose. Having
bad the honour of serving the East India Company, he
had a great desire to evince his respect for that body
upon every cceasion. He was anxious, therefore, now
to avail himself of the opportunity of drinking to
their health, and accordingly begged to propose " The
Health of the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, and Court
of Directors of the East India Company."—(Great
cheering.) Drunk With three times three.
The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the honour done to
himself', the Deputy-Chairman, and the Court, in ap-
propriate terms, and concluded by proposing " The
Health of Lord Fitzgerald,' which was drunk with
three times three.

Lord FITZGERALD felt great difficulty in the posi-
tion in which he was placed, and his diffiulty was in no
wise diminished by the reflection that in the great office
her igajeqty and the Company had_ been pleased to be- -.stow .upon him, he susses red to one whose abilities
and experience in Indian affairs were so highly appre-
ciated. All he could bring towards the accomplish-
ment of the honourable but responsible task imposed
upon him was an anxious desire to accomplish it. He
would do all that was in his power to preserve the har-
mony of action which had so long subsisted between
the Court of Directors and the Crown.—(Applause.)
He must be forgiven, if on his own part as well as on
the part of those acting with him, he expressed his
humble hope that by co-operating with the Noble Lord
in his distinguished office, the duties of which his Noble
Friend had so eloquently touched upon that night, ho
might be enabled to contribute to the accomplishment.
of the great object of good government, the advance-
ment and prosperity, the peace and the happiness, of
those un-numbered nations under the controul of the
East India Company.—(Loud cheers.)
At the termination of this speech the Duke of Wel-
lington quitted the room, passing through the long
range of visit-irs with a dignified and familiar bow to
each, and with a tolerably firm step, which left, how-
ever, the recollection of the Duke's emphatic words,
strong in the memory of his hearers, " when I was a
younger man." The cheering continued during the
whole of his Grace's progress through the long range of
apartments, and was responded to by the multitude as.
sembled without.

Lord Auckland's health was then proposed by the
Chairman, and drunk with three times three, and the
company broke up.
