DINNER TO SIR W. F. WILLIAAES,

OF KA LS.

On Saturday evening the members of the Reform Club
gave a grand banquet in honour of the hero of Kars.
Every preparation had been made to give due éclat to
the occasion. The exterior of the club was briLiantly illu-
minated, the word « Kars" being conspicuously exhi-
bited in gas letters over the principal entrance, and the
dining-hall was profusely decorated with arrw, flags,
banners, and laurel wreaths tastefully groupedinto-ap-
propriate devices.- The chair was. occupied by Sir A.
Cockburn, Attorney-General, on whose right were Sir W.
Y. Williams, and his gallant comrade, Major Teesdale
Earl Fortescue and Colonel Lake sitting on the imme-
diate left. Covers were laid for 150, and, the company
comprised Dr. Sand with, Mr. Churchill, Mr. Redhouse,
Colonel Freestun, M.P., Colonel' Shafto Adair, M.P.,
Mr. T. Bass, M.P., Sir J. Paxton, ALP., the Attorney-
Ger.eral for Ireland, M.P., Mr. J. Forster, M.P. Mr,
G F. Muntz, M.P., Major Reid, M.P., Mr. W. H.
G. Langton, M.P.,
Mr. Joseph Acton, M.P., Mr, H.
Ingram, M.P., Mr. T. A. Mitchell, M.P. Sir James
Matheson, M.P., Vice Chancellor Sir W. 'Page Wood,
Sir John Scott Lillie, Mr. Henry Grattan, Mr; G. 'Mof-
fat, 'M.P., Mr. W. Beaumont, 11. P., &c.
During the dinner the band of the Scots Fusiliers,
which was stationed in the entrance hall, admirably per-
formed a variety of martial and operatic airs. On. the
removal of the cloth,
Sir A. COCKBURN rose to give the first toast. Hassid
—I rise to propose that toast which on all occasions of
public-festivity stands first and foremoat in the expression
of our loyal and patriotic feelings— "the health of .her
Majesty the Queen." With us that toast is no idle form'
or unmeaning ceremony. Attached as we all are to con-
stitutional monarchy,:w,hicl) we beliesarto be the bepiase.o
curity_for' our libertiea, ,the pergianal , gut. Soya-
'reign, both public and private, convert the dry and ab-
street sense of loyal duty into a warm, enthusiastic, and
chivalrous sentiment of personal devotion. (Cheers.) In
our aspirations for the political happiness of mankind we
can breathe no better wish than-that the Sovereigns of the
earth should imitate her example and her virtues, and
f(oHree,arl,
amh ears: sure,
T
that -their rule should be as mild and beneficent as hers.

bosoms. (Loud cheers.) •
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
Sir A. COCKBURN then said--I have now to propose to
you a threefold toast, " The Ileahh of the Illustrious
Consort of our beloved Sovereign, the patron add protec-
tor of science, literature, and therarti ; the health of the
Royal heir of these' realms, who,-born aod bred under
such auspice,, we may fondly hope will bia all: thiehis
future subjects- could wish or desire a and, lastly,, the
health of the illustrious family inseparably associated
not only with the best of our historical recollection.', but
with the..maintenance of our civil aild-religions
(Loud cheers.) Seeing,that.we are met on an occasion
which savours more of a military than of a civil charac-
ter, I cannot but recollect that 'one member of. "that
illustrious house has lately shared the soldiers' dangers
and the soldiers' toils—who in that great siege which
engrossed the attention of the whole world has shown
that he possesses the inherent bravery of his race, and
all those qualities of head and' heart which shotild at-
tach .to their commander those whom he has to lead on
the battle-field. - (Cheers.)
The toast was duly-honoured.
Sir A. Cocrounx—:The.text toast is one which ought
never to be passed over, and certainly not on an occa-
sion like this, when,' at the close of -a; war which has
covered our seldiersr aud 'sailors with glory, we care" met
to do horiour,..to one who among a host: of heroes stands
oonspiauaus for transcendent merit. (Cheers.) 'The
toast I have to propose to you is, " the Army and
Navy." At
.no time could Englishmen feel more grate-
ful to those services than after the war from which we
have Just emerged. Never did the army of England
achieve for itself greater renown. It is true that the
operations of a protracted siege did not give an oppor-
tunity for the display of those strategical abilities which
in former times crownsd our areas with glory ; but we
have bad stubborn fights to Wage,,in'which the courage
of our troops has been put to the test, anti periods of
privation and suffering which have tried their powers-of
endurance to the uttermost. (Cheers) Well and no*
have they issued from these ordeals. The stern battles
of the Alma, of Balaklava, and, of Inkerman wereopre-
eminently-soldiers' battles. (Hear.) They showed that
Britons still possess the am.nie stubborn audindomitahle
courage Which has distinguished them in all ages and in
all 04 navy, ton, has only warted an enemy
to contend with. Never was it in a highei state of effi-
ciencY: .Never was its spirit, more gallantly strung than
it is noba, and' was throughout the late war ; aud, if it
has not sjgbalisedlto prowess as highly as it could have
wished, it is. simply because its power was so manifest
that its foe durst not trenture,.forth to meet it. .I fear
we have no representative of the navy pri:ient a bet I
see before me gallant members of the- sister service, and
I have great pleasure in calling upon one of that proud
throng to respond, because of his intimate association
with a hero to whom we tonight do honour.
Among .thoso 'whose fame will be inseparably
bound up with the nanie'of Kars is Colonel Teesdale. I
rejoice to see his gallant father at our festive board,,and.
I beg to ample the name of so worthy.a sire of so
_dis-
tinguished a son with the toast. (Cheers.) The Chair-
man then concluded by giving " The Army 'and Navy,"
connecting with the toast the name of Colonel Teesdale,
senior, of the Artillery. (Loud cheers..)
Colonel TEESDALE, senior, in returning thanks, ob-
seived that the reception which the Guards and other
portions of the army had met with on their return from
the Crimea fully evinced the generous sentiments of the
people of Englaud towards that service,•and he felt con.
Merit that the army,' whenever called upon; would al-
ways entitle itself to an equal meed -of public gratitude.
(Hear.) The gallant colonel also expressed his acknow-
ledgments for the kind invitation he had received to meet
his son.

Sir A. CoOxisunsr—Gentlemen, I now rise to propose to
you the toast of the evening, "Our gallant, our distin-
guished, our honoured guest, Sir William F. Williams, of
Kars." (Prolonged cheering.)' I have designated him, by
the name which it has pleased his Sovereign to confer
upon him—a name which will henceforth be associated
'in imperishable renown with that beleaguered city of
'which be by hiS courage and energy so long protracted
the defence. But there is another name which I hope
will still cling to him in spite of the new title with which
he has been rewarded. 'Let him still be "the 'Williams
Pasha—chok adam dur "—that "no end of a man,"
which the brave Turks under his tenni-nand not inaptly
called hire. I own that I feel myself placed in circum-
stances of no ordinary embarrassment. I cannot do jus-
tice in his presence to Sir Wm. Williams, of Kars, for
in attempting to portray merit like his -truth necessarily
assumes somewhat of the semblance of flattery. Yet
when it devolves upon:me to present his name to your
notice, and I see him surrounded by a gallant baud of
warrior brethren, it is impossible for me to remain silent.
Assuredly history presents no instance in which difficul-
ties, apparently insurmountable, obstacles to ordinary
men insuperable, have been so gallantly ,overcome by
the force of geniis, of courage,lof indomitable energy;
and untiring perseverance. (Cheers.) When Sir Wm.
Williams. went to Kars he found an army—if such, in-
deed, it could be called—demoralised, disorganised, des-
titute of everything ; abandoned and plundered by those
whose business it was to support it ; despairing of every-
thing ; in the face of ao 'enemy disciplined, prrlisioned,
and consisting of gallant soldiers, led by able generals.
Under these adverse circumstances this brave hero never
for a Moment desponded. He grappled with villanous
pashas—(laughter)—he thwarted and repressed their love-
of peculation and plunder, stimulated the dormant ener-
gies of others, inspired all with a partion of his own acti-
vity and courage, won the confidence of the Musselmen
troops, and animated them with the belief that,' under
his guidance, they were a match for the superior
strength of their foes. (Cheers.) From such materials
he found the means of defending that otherwise doomed
city.: For months he .maintained that defence by his
own vigour, energy, and courage, assisted by a band of
heroes worthy of their: leader. If after a time,
however, Kars was destined to fall, it did
.not sur
rendess-until an army overwhelming in numerical strength
had•been repulsed froinits walls.. If it fell at last it fell
not beneath the sword or the cannon of the enemy, but
before that :fob—famine, which-neither couragi', nrr vi-
gnur, nor resolution,can resist, and in its fa'l it covered
its garrison with a glory as imperishable as the renown
of :their herdic defence. The name of Sir 'William
Williams will ever live in the grateful recollection of his
countrymen. All Are proud to do him. honour; for if
there be one thing with which Englishmen sympathise
more than another, and to which they mote heartily
-give the meed of their unmixed applause, it:is eeurage,
yigeur,'energy,'clisplayed amid overwhelming difficulty
and disaiter. (Cheers.) - By these great qualities our hr.
:loured guest .bas been eminently distinguished—l will

which haS been so eloquently proposed and eid.entfinsi-
astically drunk, I can assure you.that. .at asidsrs to
