panions and brothers in arms—the wondernil achievements

plete success of that brave army. He reminded the company

General, and many of the leading -officers, were educated in

of peace in that part of the Indian empire.

WATERLOO FETE AT VAUXHALL-GARDENS.— A
grand gala was given on Thursday at these gardens ill honour of the
" hero of a hundred rights," and in celebration of the battle of
Waterloo. The illuminaUcais were splendid, and included a number
of emblematical devices, and appropriate and complimentary mottoes.
At the back of the quadrangle appeared the name of " Wellington "
In monster letters, formed of brilliant amber lamps, surmounted by a
ducal coronet in variegated lamps, encircled with " glory," and sur-
rounded with extensive wreaths of laurels, united by a pretty knot, or
tie, displayed in vermillion lamps. In the grand orchestra several
martial compositions were played by the band, and a number of na-
tional airs sungpy the vocalists: The fireworks appeared to excite
the greatest interest ; they certainly were most brilliant. The dis-
play commenced by a discharge of one-and-twenty guns, fired as a
salute, after which the Waterloo-ground (so named from that great
achievement having been represented there some years since) and-
denly became illuminated by a number of coloured fires, and a like-
ness °flits Grace was displayed in a star, ,:trrounded by a variety of
martial trophies.
Lord Francis Egerton is, we understand, to be elented
to the peerage by the title of Lord Ellesmere.
