LON DON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 2. 1856.

SIR COLIN CA lIIPB ELL IN GLASGOW.

have been bad it not been prevented by the Russian
retreat, it is not for me to say, for Fortune often die
poses of the best-conceived military operations ; but
of this I am *ell assured—that r:pothing which skill
and experience could suggest would have been awant-
ing to insure its success ; and hid the assault been
delivered, I much fear that your ardour, as a soldier,
would have caused you to forget your duties as a
General, and that the hero who was first on the
breach of San Sebastian would not have been the lasi
in the embrasures of the Redan. Since that time, I
speak the voice of the whole army, and of its highest
and noblest leaders, when I say, you have not occu•
pied the position in it, to which your long and glorious
services entitled you ; but though I may, in common
with others, lament that for the sake of your country,
I cannot but rejoice at it for the sake of yourself. Ic
has-brought to light the inherent nobleness of your cha
racter, which might otherwise have remained concealed
It has shown that in the school of Wellington you have
learnt not only to conquer others, hut to subdue your-
self ; and like him, you• can suhjugate the strongest
feelings of a personal kind at the call of patriotic duty.
and a chivalrous devotion to a re"ered Sovereign
Yielding to natural and well-founded feelings you re-
turned home in spring last ; but at the call of your So-
vereign and your country you rejoined your gallant sol-
diers, prepared to brave alike the hardships of a cam-
paign at the head of your corps d'armee in the waterless
mountains of the Crimea, or sustain an arduous strugglein the snowy ridges of the Caucasus. You did this at a
titne when most men would seek and none were so well
entitled to find repose after the fatigues of a life of glory
-proving that you aro alike superior to the love of ease,
the first wish of ordinary, and the whisper:ngs of ambi-
tion, the last infirmity of noble minds. You have
now returned to your country, where the star of
peace again shines upon the earth, and you have
been received an honoured guest in the halls of your
Sovereign. But I ata confident that, should the
itiar,..afgain arise, 'Qle'44,wintl
,whiah now
present to you will again be _tile
in defence of your
country, and again achieve deeds an example to all
future times, and which will live for ever in its grate
ful recollections • and however feeble may have bee-.
my expression of the feelings with which at this moment
all in this vast a;sembly are animated. I am confident
that the applause which will follow yoer reception of it
will cau=e you to feel for a moment "the electric shock
of a nation's gratitude." (Loud applause.)
When the learned Sheriff 'presented the sword, the
whole audience rose to their feet and gave three hearty
and enthusiastic rounds of cheering.
Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL th, n rose and said—Sir Archi-
bald and fellow-countrymen, I was quite unprepared for
the eloquent manner in which this honour has been done
me. (Applause.) I can never forget the reception I
have met with on this occasion, anti the honours which
have been conferred on me surpassing, in amount of
recompere i, all the services I have been able to perform.
(Great cheering ) There is another party who ought
not to he forgotten on this occasion. I owe all this to
my-hardy veteran soldiers of the Highland Brigade—
(cheers) —and to them is the honour due for what you
have now conferred on me. This should not be forgotten,
that these are conferred in their name, as well as my
own. (Tremendous cheering.)
The proceedings then terminated.

•
PRES'ENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE
CITY- AND THE swoßn- OF HONOUR.
(From the Glasgow Bulletin.)
At twelve o'clock, this day, one of the most brilliant
companies which ever met in Glasgow assembled in the
City Hall to do honour to the distinguished hero of a
hundred fights, Major-General Sir Colin Campbell. As
early as eleven o'clock, carriages and foot passengers
began to move towards the Hall, and long before the
hour announced for the commencement of the proceed.
ings the spacious hall was densely crowded in every
corner.
The patriotic feeling of our population was thus again
proved to be as strong a d fervent as ever. Almost
every one of our citizens was desirous of seeing the re-
newned veteran. Sir Colin Campbell is a native of
Glasgo sr, and it well becomes our citizens to be the first
to acknowledge publicly th' high estimation in which
they hold his services. Since ever he entered on hts
"artier as a warrior, he has sustained the ancient glory
and renown of the• British arms. in the Peninsula, in
America, in Demerara, in China, ie lonia, and latterly
in the Crimea, at the heights of the Alma, and on the
field, of Balaklava, he has fought and conquered, and his
name, now a "household word" among us, is likely to
go down to posterity, associated with those of Sir John
Moore, Sir Ralph Abercrornby, Lord Raglan, Wolfe,
and the Iron Duke. It was well, therefore, that he should
he made a Burgess of the City of Glasgow, and it was
fitting that he should receive a Sword of Honour as a
feeble recompence for his arduous services in his coun-
try's cau,e. The assembly today will not soon be for-
got,en as one of the grandest demonstrations to worth
and bravery ever made in Scotland. Toe excitement in
the city was most intense at the time Sir Colin was ex-
pected, and when the cortege reached the Royal Ex-
change in Queen street, the carriage containing the Mutt-
trious warrior was surrounded by thousands of his en-
thuliaidia,admirere,_ .who,.appiaudeal hi ;t> Yoe,ifite;
ously at every stage. Sir Colin's appearance in
had was the signal for a tremendous outhur..t t.f warm
and prelonged applause anti vociferous cheering, during
which Mr. Lambe!h played, "See the Conquering Here

The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by the Right
Hon. the Lord Provost.
The LORD PROVOST rose, and having made a very
eloquent speech, banded the burgess ticket to Sir Colin.

The extent of this annual increase may be consider-
ably influenced by the value of opium ; we cannot, there
fore, take these figures as giving us any distinct idea of
the increase of trade between England and India ; but
this we know, that British India produces two articles,
namely, cotton and tobacco, which may by the stimulus
of European capital, skill and energy, become articles
of export to an extent that would equal the value of all
the present exports from British India to Europe.
The present position of British India with reference to
its productive powers, is,
Ist. That both the English and East Indian Govern-
ments recognise its vast powers of beneficial develop.
ment, by the extent of the means taken by them to ac-
complish that object.
2d. That the support given to Indian railways by the
public also tends to show that there is in England a
large body of men who expect a profitable return for
capital invested in such undertakings.
But to complete this desirable result, and establish it
on a permanent basis, an increased supply of mercantile
capital will be required, especially devoted to India.
Tne cause of the want of English capital, in India,
for such increasing development, will be found to arise
from the want of permanency in the commercial connec-
tion between the British merchant, residing in India,
and the country itself. Men who proceed to India, as
merchants, always look forward to a return to England
when they can afford to do so by the acquirement of
fortunes ; and hence a continual flow of the profits of
Indian trade from India to England.
So far as the trade between England and the seaports
of British India is concerned, England provides the
funds for carrying it on, but is constantly extracting
commercial capital from India fir that purpose. That
the direct trade between England and India is depen-
dent for capital on England, is proved by the influence
which the state of the money market in this country
exercises on that oflndia.
It might reasonably be supposed that when rates of
interest rule onerously high at the seaports of India,
native capital would flow in from the interior to relieve
the market; but this does not follow, simply because
the native capitalist can make a more profitable use of
his money, by confining it to the internal trade and
exchanges of the country.
British India, although politically a single sovereignty
governed by the East India Company, is commercially
a number of separate and distinct states, differing in
the character of their inhabitants, having a diversity of
languages, yielding according to their soil and climate a
variety of productions, which by their interchange form
distinct branches of internal trade between province and
province, with a regular system of exchanges by which
the balances of trade are settled between different parts
of that immense empire.
This vast internal trade, in extent and value, far ex-
ceeds the foreign trade of India ; but it is inadequately
supplied with capital by the native bankers and money
dealers ; from this and other causes the productive
power of India remains so stationary in its lowest forme
that men ignorant of the country argue (where no im-
provement in the quality of products is perceptible from
generation to generation) the fault must be in the soil
and climate of the country ; that such is not the case is
proved by the practical results arrived at in Bengal,
where indigo, silk, and sugar, have all been benefitted in
the most unmistakeable manner from the application of
European skill and capital.
When we consider that British India, with greater ca-
pabilities for the profital le emp!oyment of money that
any country to which England has lent her capital, is
the possession of the Crown of England, governed by
English-made laws, with the entire machinery of a civi-
lised nation in full and active operation, and where pro-
perty is as secure as in England, we cannot doubt that
mercetntile capital which may be supplied to that coun-
try for objects of a sound and practical character, will
be remunerative, and is one of the first wants of India.
To meet the scarcity of commercial capital which will
be more and more felt in India, as the means of its de-
velopment are more extensively brought into operation,
the law of limited liability is peculiarly applicable; under
its provisions the public are enabled, without responsi-
bility beyond the amount of shares subscribed for, to
support undertakings which may be said to combine
features of national importance with the ordinary pur
suits of commerce.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING-TUESDAY,

The broad sunshine and balmy atmosphere disposed
he few turfites who assisted at the gathering to an un-
restrained enjoyment of the sport. The racing was cer-
tainly not abundant, but the July Stakes brought out a
comparatively large field, and, owing to the superior cha-
racter of the competitors, occasioned a remarkably in-
teresting race. Lambourn was the only animal of known
and approved merit amongst the stamens, but Drumour,
Zuyder Zee, and two or three others, went to the post
with a high reputation. Just before the race Zuyder
Zee shied and threw his jockey, and this circumstance,
coupled with his evident unfitness, caused him to be
frier.dless in the ring. Mr. Howard followed up his suc-
cess of last year—when he won with Spindle—by pull-
ing through with his highly-tried colt Drumour. After
the rice 2,000 even was betted on Lambourn against
Zuyder Zee for the Derby, and 30 to 1 to 1001. was
taken about Zuyder Zee " outright."
Oa the heath Mr. Watt, the superintendent of the
traffic department, announced that a special train would
leave Newmarket at six o'clock, in order to catch the
7.15 train at Cambridge. This arrangement was a great
accommodation, inasmuch as it enabled the visitors to
see all the races, instead of hurrying off the course to
catch the 4.25 regular train.
The sport was decided as under :

was slightly shaken by his fall. The lot got away on
good terms, Turbit having a slight lead, with Zuyder
Zoe, Lambourn, Dusty Miller, and the Ma Mie colt
clustering we4l up, with Drumour in close attendance.
At the Plantation Drumour rushed to the front, and
Zuyder Zee and Lambourn went on second and third.
No other noteworthy change was made, and Dru-
mour won cleverly by three-quarters of a length ;
a length between the second and third ; about the same

In furtherance of this object, it is proposed to esta-
blish, under the Limited Liability Act, a joint stock
company, to be called "The Indian Mercantile Agency
Limited," on the basis of a large paid-up capital, unin-
fluenced in its extent by the fluctuations of commerce,
and undiminished by the retirement of wealthy partners.
The course wbieh it is proposed the association thould
follow is one of gradual development. To connect the
direct trade between England and India by agencies at
the great sea-ports of that country which shall under-
take all the usual branches of agency connected with In-
dia. The Indian sea-port agencies when firmly esta-
blished, and their success confirmed, will become the
links between the association in London, and agencies
to be gradually extended into the interior of India, the
association fixing on the most favourable localities, and
requiring arnts selected for the management of such
branch agencies, to have the aeceasary qualification of
local as well as of commercial knowledge.
Should such Branch Agencies be hereafter established,
it will be an object of the association to introduce the
sale of British manufactures into the interior of the coun-
try, so that consignors of goods to the seaport agencies
of the Indian mercantile agency, may have the option
of a second market for their goods in India ; also to
arrange for the purchwe of all Indian products in the
interior, and generally io carry on a business between
the seaports of India and some of the principal marts in
the interior of that country, on the same principles as
