-Mr. Elliott then stated that on the 10th of December he
was passing by the defendant's place, and seeing portraits
outside he was induced to go in to have two portraits taken
at ls. each, and having had them taken he agreed to have
one of them painted for 6d. extra. The female defendant
then showed him some frames, and wanted him to have one
at 15s. ; at the same time he demurred, and Mrs. Thomp-
son then asked him if he thought she stole the frames.
He replied that he did not. She then said she would cut
them, and she cut one of them so as to get it in a smaller
frame, and he said that if she cut the other he would not
have it, and that he would take it without a frame. She
said he should pay for the frames, and on his being about
to leave, as he told her he would do, she seized him by the
collar, threw him down, and pommeled him right and left,
dragging him about the place.

DI,vIVER TO LORD CLYDE.

The CHAIRZAti, in giving " the Army and Navy,"
expressed the pleasure it afforded him to tntertain
his Royal Highness the Commander- in-Chief, to
whose supervision the country was so much indebted
for the high efficiency of the first of those services.
Their thanks were eminently due to his Royal
Highness for the admirable manner in which the
expedition to China had been sent forth—an expe-
dition whose efforts had now happily been crowned
with success, and that too at the smallest possible
sacrifice of human life. (Cheers.)
His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
who on rising was received with loud applause, said
—Master Warden, my lords, and gentlemen, I beg
to return you my most sincere thanks for the high
compliment you have paid me in coupling my name
with the army. Having from my early youth been
brought up a soldier, I naturally feel more deeply
interested in that noble profession than in any
other, and therefore it is always a matter of great
gratification to me as the head of that service to
hear its merits well spoken of. I believe that the
British army has on all occasions deserved well of
the country, and I am proud to think that the
country is ever ready and anxious to express its
feelings of gratitude towards it. (Cheers.) It
may appear to some that compliments such as that
which I have now the honour to acknowledge
are of little value. But that is an entire mistake.
When men who have served their country faith-
fully in distant parts of the globe are, on their re-
turn home, greeted by their countrymen, many of
whom have hitherto been perfect strangers to
them, with a cordial and hearty welcome, together
with a generous appreciation of their past exer
tions, you may rely upon it, gentlemen, that such
manifestations have a deep effect upon the army,
and are felt by all who are connected with it, be
their station high or low. (Cheers.) Of late
years, unfortunately, we have had constant occa-
sion to call upon our army for services in the
field, and I flatter myself that that army has inva-
riably come well out of the ordeal—(cheers)—and
that the nation has no reason to be dissatisfied with
its achievements. We have had a very recent ex-
hibition of its powers in a distant land. And
although I have been mentioned as having assisted
in sending out the expedition to China in an effi-
cient state I can take very little credit to myself
on that score. The praise is really due to my gallant
friend on my left (Lord Clyde), for it was he who
fitted out that army for service in China. The ex-
pedition was chiefly composed of troops proceeding
from India, and Lord Clyde, being Commander-in -
Chief in that country at the time of its preparation,
the merit of its admirable equipment mainly be-
longs to him. (Hear, hear.) I think we may also
say that the general officer now intrusted with the
command of that army, Sir Hope Grant, has de-
served well of his country—(cheers)—and such is
the opinion I hear uniformly expressed of his ser-
vices as a soldier in every quarter, military or civil.
It would ill become me on this occasion to refrain
from expressing my sense of the valuable aid which
the expedition has received from a recent very im-
portant invention in gunnery. (Hear.) Sir Wm.
Armstrong has the merit of having invented a new
gun which has been employed in China, and
although this is neither the time nor place for
drawing comparisons between the invention of
that distinguished man and the valuable
and important ii aiprovements effected by
others in the same department, still, as
his weapon has now been tested in the field
and has come well out of the trial, it is, I think,
but right to express--and I am very happy to have
this opportunity, in Sir William's presence, of ex-
pressing—my appreciation of the great advantage
which his genius and skill have conferred alike on
the army and the country. (Cheers.) Allow me
now, gentlemen, to observe that I have always
great pleasure, as a member of this ancient com-
pany, in meeting my excellent friends in this mag-
nificent hall; but I i nust say that on no occasion
on which I have had', the good fortune to partake
of your splendid ho apitality have I,
as a soldier,
felt more pride or sal lisfaction than I do to-day,
when you have enrolled among your honorary
members the name of • niy gallant and distinguished
friend Lord Clyde—( cheers)—for if ever there was
a man who, in my o: ?inion, has deserved well of
his country, it is m y gallant friend on my left

Last night the Master and Wardens of the Wor-
shipful Company of Merchant Taylors gave a grand
banquet in honour of General Lord Clp.le, at their
1 magnificent hall, Threadneedle-strert.
It is nccessary to mention that at a Court of As-
, sistants of the Meichant Taylors' Company held as
long ago as the Bth of January, 1858, it was unani-
mously determined to present the noble and gallant
lord with the freedom of that corporation. The
resolution agreed to on that occasion was couched
in the following terms :
" That the honorary freedom of the company be
presented to Lieutenant-General Sir Colin Camp-
bell, Grand Cross of the Most Hon. the Order of
the Bath, Commander-in-Chief in India, in testi-
mony of his long and faithful services, and parti-
cularly in effecting the gallant relief of the late
Major-General Sir Henry Havelock, with the
women and children, and the sick and wounded at
Lucknow, and the total routing and annihilation of
the Gwalior mutineers near Cawnpore."
In accordance with this resolution, Lord Clyde
was yesterday duly installed and sworn in as an
honorary member of the worshipful company.
Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram, G.C.8.,
also had the same distinction conferred upon
him by the unanimous vote of the Court of
Assistants in January, 1859, and it was likewise
intended that his formal induction should take place
yesterday; but, owing to the severe indisposition
of the gallant General, that part of the day's inte-
resting proceedings had unfortunately to be post-
poned.

A distinguished company assembled at the dinner
n the evening. The guests, who were upwards of
S5O in number, included his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, K.G., Honorary Member of
the Company; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
Honorary Member of the Company; the Right

Company; General the Right Hon. Lord Clyde,

the Order of the Garter, and Lord Clyde the Grand
Cross of the Bath; the other military guests also
appeared in the various honorary decorations inci-
dent to their rank. The chair was occupied by Mr.
Charles Gordon, Master of the Company. .
The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal
toasts were duly proposed and enthusiastically
received.
