MEMORIAL TO THE BRIGADE OF
GOARDS.

Yesterday afternoon a large meeting of noblemen and
gentlemen, the great majority of whom belonged to the
military profession, was held in •the Lecture Theatre
of the United Service Institution, Whitehall, for the pur-
pose of taking steps for erecting some permanent memo-
rial to the officers and men of the brigade of Guards who
fell in the late war. The Duke of Cambridge occupied
the chair. Resolutions in favour of the erection of the
proposedimonument, and appointing a committee to ob-
tain subscriptions and otherwise carry out the objects of
the meeting, were moved by Field-Marshal the Earl of
Strafford, Major-General Lord Rokeby, General Sir Ed.
Bowater, Colonel Brune, and Sir John Hanbury. (The
Earl of Strafford appeared quite blind, and was led into
the theatre by General Stanhope.) The following offi-
cars were selected to act as members of the committee
General Sir A. Woodward (chairman), Lieut.-General
Sir G. Bowleg, Lieutenant the Earl of &Ron, Colonel
Lord F. Paulett, Lieut.-Colonel the HOU. A. Ilardinge,
Colonel the Hon. H. N. Hood, Colonel Wood, Colonel
Upton, Captain F. Cast, Lieut.-Colonel Lord Burghersb,
Colonl Moncrieff, Major-General Lord Rokeby, Colonel
the Hon. G. Cadogau, Colonel the Hon. J. Lindsay,
Colonel Hamilton, Colonel Vernon Harcourt, Major-
General Spencer Stanhope, Major Sir J. Dunlop, Major
Goodlake, Colonel Lord J. Murray, LteutoColunel Ste-
phenson, Lieut.-Colonel Haygarth, Major Gipps, and
LiLutoCulonel the Hon. R. Qbarteris. A vote of thanks
having been unanimously passed to the Duke of Cam-
bridge for presiding, his Royal Highness acknowledged
the compliment, and said than, however heavy his duties
were, he felt it his duty to come there and give his
assistance, for no rdun had been more closely connected
with the Guards than he had, and whilst he was com-
mander of that brigade he felt proud of the position ho
held. In speaking of the briga,:e, he wished to be un-
derstood that he made no distinction between them and
the regiments of the line, for he maintained that through.
out the whole struggle the entire army had fought most
nobly, and bad given universal satisfaction. (Cheers.)
The meeting then separated.

The bonds and stack of the Michigan and Northern
Indiana Railway have been 'recently introduced on the
London Stock-Exchange. The hne is an important one,
completiAg the connection of New York and the other
Atlantic States with Chicago at the head of Lake Mi.
chigan, whence, by the Illinois Central and other lines,
it communicates with the Mississippi and the extreme
South. It has been open three years with steadily in-
creasing receipts, and has paid regular dividends of 10
Aar cent. Investors, however, must bear in mind that
Michigan is one of the repudiatipg Stites of the Ameri,
WA Union.
