general applause..
The DUKE on rising said, that while this country was
engaged in an expensive and long-protracted warfare,.
the Sovereign had the advantage a many sinter()

portant occasions great service. He saw neer him a
Gallant Officer who had highly distinguished himself in
the allied army, the representative of the King of the
Two Sicilies—he would give them the " Health of
Prince Castelcicala."

me of vulgar adulation whoa I declare that to expatiate

deed, I firmly believe that it would puzzle even a mo-
dern Plutarch, writing and comparing lives cif heroes.
to find in all the varied qualities of our chief a fair
parallel. But I must reply to tins honour, and in doing
so I am reminded of the I.alian poet, who "Ss, " Chi

Baron DE OMPHAL, who rose evidently much gratified
by the hospitality and recognition of " the Iron Duke,"
said he was deeply grateful for the Duke's testimony of
the gallantry of the army to which he had the honour
to belong, and begged, on behalf of the King of the
Netherlands and hie Majesty's army, to render his most
sincere thanks. The Noble Duke was well known to
the Netherlands army, and he could tell his Grace they
were proud to name him as " tile Prince of Waterloo."
The Duke of WELLINGTON then said there was still
another army, our allies, the army of the King of
Hanover. There was an officer connected with that
service, who was known to all those present, who had
served in the Peninsula as the commander of the light
companies of the King's German Legion. He would
give them " The Hanoverian Army, and General

THE WATERLOO BANQUET
Last evening Field-Marshal the Duke ot Wellington
gave his customary grand banquet, in celebration of the
anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, to the officersthe 'British army who had the honour of serving under
of
the command of the illustrious Duke at that crowning
aehievement of our national arms.
As time makes its slow and certain progress, the ranks
of the breve rant whose valour England owes the
victory become thinned by death, and since last year we
heee to lament the absence of Major•Generel Sir Alex-
ander Cameron, N.C.H., Major-General Sloesor, Nlajor.
General John Bottler Parker, C.II , Colonel Edeard
K Colonel C. P. Ellis, Colonel It. Beauchtrrp.
Li. ut.-Colonel P. Campbell, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel J.
Crays, ICH., Lieut.-Colonel J. Garland, K.H,
Colonel J. Sinclair, LieureColonel A. G. Sedloy, Lieue-
Colonel J. Weight, Major Austin, &c. The milieu of
etll,;ers who assembled at the banquet yesterday was lit-
tle short of that of last year, there being about 70 veterans
present at the g.thering.
As is inva.riw)ly the ease,
a very
largetu r assemblage
persons congregated from curiosity in the thoroughfare
returning
fbrl
fronting Apsley-house, and the police exercised a very
proper authority in compelling
all strangers to pass on,
so that but trifling obstruction arose to the traffic,
from
m which
was greatly increased by the crowds
the
f
Crystal Palace.
Field-Marshal tho Marquis of Anglesey was loudly
cheered by the populace as his carriage drove into the
court-yard.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived at a few
minutes after seven o'clock from Buckingham Palace, at-
tended by the Marquis of Abercorn, Groom of the
Stole to his Royal Highness; Major-General Bowles
(Master of the Queen's Houshold), and Colonel Bon-
verie. On the approach of the royal carriage the people
greeted the Prince with hearty cheers. The venerable
Duke having received intimation of the Prince Consort's
arrival, descended from the drawing-room, where he gave
reception to his gallant friends, and met his Royal High-
ness beneath the portico as the Prince alighted from his
carriage, and conducted him to the apartment in which
the martial company had assembled preparatory to the
dinner. The band of the Grenadier Guards (the Duke's
regiment) saluted the Prince on his arrival by the Na-
tional Anthem, the band being stationed in the vestibule
to play marches during the arrival of the guests.
At ten minutes past seven dinner was announced. As
the guests entered the splendid gallery, the band, agree-
able to custom, played the familiar tune of " The Roast
Beef of Old England."
The Duke of Wellington presided, supported on the
right by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Marquis
-of Anglesey, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Earl of
Strafford, Sir Edward Kerrison, Earl Cathcart. and on
the left by his Excellency Prince Castelcicala, Viscount
Hardinge, &c.
There was hardly any difference in the aspect of the
spacious and richly-embellished gallery from what we
have een from year to year. The magnificent silver
l'ortugues plateau adorned the centre of the table.
having on one side of the centre an elaborate equestrian
statuette of her Majesty in gold. At each end were
vases, having vines bearing grapes; then came the co-
lossal marble candelabra, presented to his Grace by the
late Emperor of Russia, and costly China vases, gifts
of the late King of Prussia, containing the choicest
flowers. At the further end of the gallery the side-
board presented the most gorgeous display of gold plate,
Flaxman's celebrated shield occupying a prominent
place in the centre, illuminated by the finely-designed
gold candelabrum, a testimonial from the citizens of
London.

Overture, " Maritaea"
Soldier's Polka ...

General Sir HEGEL lIALKETT, G.C.H., replied to the
toast in a short address, during which he assured his
Grace that the old men of the Hanoverian army made it
a point to celebrate the Duke's birthday, and that he
(Sir H. Halkett) was at the last anniversary festival, and
he could assure the Duke his health and long life were
devoutly drank by his fellow-soldiers.
The DUKE, on rising to give the next toast, said he
would give the " Artillery at Waterloo," a branch of th
service which pre-eminently distinguished itself, as it
usually did on all occasions, on that memorable day. In
conjunction with the Artillery he would couple the name

at the battle of Waterloo, and the Earl of Cathcart."

lie would propose " The Infantry at Waterloo, and Sir
Frederick Acism."
