he liked to praiSe a man who did his wol ~..., 1.0„,,vie
he were Conservative, Whig, or Radical. . concei s
it to be his duty to vote with liberality the sues
for the army and the navy—(cheers)—and he was proud
to say that he had never yet met with an individual who
h A grudged the money that we had been called upon to
py to support her Majesty's forces. That gallant army
had curbed the ambition of Russia and preserved the
balance of power in Europe ; long might it remain in ifs
present condition.. (Cheers.) They had now come back
to a state of peace; and he had no doubt that the whole
kingdom would continue in that state of prosperity in
which it was before the.war commenced. (Cheers.)
Mr. WALKER proposed " The Health of the Borough
Members," and in doing so spoke of the great worth of
Mr. Hadfield, whom he designated as one of the most
useful members of the House of Commons, and expressed
his opinion that if that lion. member succeeded in his at•
tempts to cleanse the Augean stable of the ecclesiastical
courts, he would have done as great a service to his coun-
try as the hon. chairman of the Sebastopol committee.
Mr. ROEBUCK, who, on rising, was received with loud
cheers, said—Mr. Master Cutler,-1 have to return to you
sad the gentlemen present my best thanks for the manner
in which they have received the proposal to drink my
health and that of my hon. colleague. As he is not here,
perhaps you will allow me to say that he has been to you
a very useful representative. (Hoar.) He has been tome
also a very kind and efficient friend, and every day that I
have passed in the House of Commons since his return has
been rendered less onerous ha his assistance. Therefore, I
will say that in his behalf which I should be ashamed to
say were be here. The noble Duke has called me the.
learned and somewhat aggressive member for Sheffield. r
think that the noble Duke has hardly followed the history-
of my doings with respect to himself. For once in my
life—audit was an astonishing circumstance,- I praised
a man in the House of Commons; that man was tbe
noble Duke. (Cheers.) - -There are -friends at this tab
who said upon that occasion that, contrary to my won',
I was illogical, and that I ruined my cause by the praise
which I bestowed. I made a promise then in the House
of Commons which I intend to keep—that I would never
praise a man again. (Laughter.) I then stated, what I
really believed, that the noble Duke had been made
the scapegoat of his colleagues—(cheers)—that he was
sincere in his desire to do all the duties of his office ;
that he was industrious; that he was sedulous for the
benefit of the army ; and that the army owed him a
debt of gratitude. I said all this when the noble Duke
was not present; but it was my fate to rouse him and his
colleagues with a rattling peal of thunder, when I moved
for the Sebastopol •committee. But was I to blame for
Lint? Did not the people of England, and did not the
House of Commons, go with me? I put it to the noble
Duke if he thinks that I did not do my duty on that ocoaa
sion. ("Hear, hear," from the Duke of Newcastle.) Fir
be it from me to say where the blame lay, but blame there
was. I pointed out where the blame ought not to lay,
and I hoped that that proceeding on my part would have
been remembered. What were the circumstances ? Now,
although it is a very useful rule at cutlers' feasts that no
man shall talk politics, yet I find that politics are talked
from the beginning to the end of the meetings. Am Ito
be blamed fur that ? I didn't begin, or lead off the dance.
I did't point out the figure. I only followed where other s
-far my superiors--have led the way. Well, then, I ask
you, gentlemen, that seeing our noble army was melting
away—dying by thousands—not by the arms of the enemy,'
but by the neglect of friends—was I to blame for calling
the attention of the people of England to that fact? That;
the noble Duke was driven from office I am exceedingly. -
sorry, for I think ho was a good and efficient servant of
the Crown, and I think he would have received great aid;
from that committee had he remained in office. But the
peculiar feelings of the noble Duke did not enable him to
retain his office, and others came in that I cannot say
are his superiors. (Cheers.) But for all these things
am Ito be blamed? (Cries of " No, no.") If not, I
want to know what was the meaning of the statement
wade by the noble Duke of the aggressive nature of
the hon. member for Sheffield ? I was aggressive, but it
was on your behalf. I was aggressive, but it was for the
noble army of England. (Cheers.) I was aggressive, but
it was for the honour and safety of the country.' I endea-
voured to conciliate those two things, the •safety of Eng-
land and the retention of the noble Duke, and when I
found that to be incompatible, and believing that the one
was far superior to the other, I threw myself and all that
were with me into the scale in which my country was.
If I forgot the noble Duke I beg his pardon, and I hope I
alma obtain it. (Cheers.) I shall pass from that subject.
I think I may say that I have vindicated myself, and that
there is nothing in the mind of the noble Duke of asperity
towards me—(" Hear, hear," from the Duke of Newcastle)
—as I am quite sure there is nothing of asperity in ma
towards him. (Cheers.) There is one very significant
subject in this evening's meeting. It is the appearance of
the hon. gentleman the representative of America. Now,
there is no man more willing than I am, more anxiouf
than I am, to maintain a kindly feeling between the p

ple of this country and America. Many yearn of inT, vent*
. sere mantilla that country. IkTaincy, who now re-.
presents America here, represents the feeling of his wan.
try. lam quite sure that he will AO6 that upon this side
of the Atlantic there is nothing but kindness and goodwill
free, frank, and generous disposition towards the peo-
ple on the other side of the Atlantic. We are an old
people ; we are a proud people ; we have that sort of pride
that enables us to be careless of what is said about us.
Now his is a young country. They have not acquired
that pride. I wish they had. If they would know what
is thought about them in this country let them look to
meetings like the present ; and I assure the hon. gentle-
man his Excellency from America that there is no kindness
and no goodwill which they can manifest on that side of
the water that will not be reciprocated on this. We are
desirous and anxious to consider them as our friends and.
relatives; but he must know, living in a free country,'
that the expression of opinion must be unfettered here.
(Cheers.) He cannot expect that we would be sycophantic
enough to praise everything American. We do not expect
from them that they should praise everything English.
There aro blots upon both sides, but depend upon it that
friendly criticisms on both sides of the water will do each
other good. Bat there must be no unnecessary heat on
either side. We must be just; we must be magnanimous ;
we must be generous ; we must be friends ; and if the Ame-
ricans choose to find fault with us, we shall accept their
criticism, but we shall reciprocate the benefit by finding
fault with them. (Laughter.) lam quite sure that much
benefit will arise to both nations from this coins of pro-
ceeding. We receive their literature, we receive all the
advances they make in science. They take a fair proportion
from us. For this literature we pay them well; and for their
arts and sciences they are no losers by exchanging with us.
Lot them not grudge the greatness that belongs to us. Let
them be free and frank deszondants of England. Let them
honour the root from which they sprang. If they are great,
we are great. I believe that they aro destined to be a great
people. We are that already. We have conferred benefits
upon mankind that mankind can never forget. This may
bo a proud assumption, but it is both proud and true.
" The Mayor and Corporation of Sheffield," proposed by
Mr. M. Milnes, " The Magistrates of the West Riding." by
Mr. Smith, "The health of the Past Cutlers," and a variety
of other local toasts, were then proposed, and the proceed-
ings were brought to a conclusion, the party separating at
11 o'clock.

asthma, experiencing great agony upon respiration wits
