By F. B: COURTENAY,
MEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

" We never commence the perusal of works on this malady with-
out preparing ourselves to meet most appalling descriptions of human
sufferings. It was, therefore, a most agreeable surprise to us to
find this error (as it appears to us) carefully avoided in this work,
and the subject treated in a common sense, and truly practical
manner. . . . No medical man should undertake the treatment
of Spermatorrbcea without first consulting this work."—Medical

Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, begs leave to remove an erroneous
impression which exists amongst some of his customers, that he has

is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen in consequence of the re-
tirement and selling off of a jeweller of the same name, also of New

been, in any way connected, either in business or by:relationship.

BANQUET AT THE ORIENTAL CLUB TO SIR
ARCHDALE WILSON. OF DELHI.

Yesterday evening the members of the Oriental
Club entertained Sir. Archdale Wilson, the con-
queror of Delhi, at a magnificent banquet, which
was attended by nearly 200 members of the club.
The dinner, which was of the most luxurious kind,
was served in the large coffee-room, which wag pro-
fusely decorated with plate and living flowers for
the occasion. The chair was taken by Sir Robert J.
H. Vivian, Bart., supported by F. Matheson, RA.,
A. Forbes, Esq J. R. Martin, Esq:, Lieut.-Col.

Neil 13tyly, Esq.
Amongst the-guests were Mr. Wake, the hero of
Arran, and a gentleman whose name we could not
learn, but whose face bore terrible marks of the
cruel mutilations of the Sepoye.
Sir Archdale Wilson, who is a fine-looking man
of peculiarly military appearance, wore a plain
evening dress and the Order of the Bath.
On his arrival he was received with the most cor-
dial marks of welcome by the company.
After the customary loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMA.N said—Gentlemen, it is now my
pleasing duty to introduce to your notice the toast
of the evening—the health of our gallant and dis-
tinguished guest, Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi.
(Loud cheers.) It is not my intention to trouble
you at any length with details of glorious achieve-
ments, which are as familiar to our ears and memo-
ries as household words, or to enter into any ex-
plana'ion as to why we are assembled here this
evening, but I do desire on the part of this brilliant
company to express to Sir Archdale Wilson their
aneiety to welcome him to his native country at
the earliest possible opportunity. (Loud cheers.)
He has lately returned from spirit-stirring scenes,
and from the performance of deeds of daring which
are unsurpassed in our military history, and the
crowning success of his gallant labours before Delhi
are known tout all. (Cheers.) The achievements
of Sir A. Wilson and his gallant soldiers require no
inflated eulogium from me—they are fresh in all our
memories, and there is not a man amongst us who
does not feel a sympathetic pride and exultation in
the feats which our Indian army have performed
in the face of the most extraordinary difficulties—
difficulties which were only met to be overcome. I
regret my feeble ability to give expression to the
feelings that animate me on this occasion, but I
know you will make allowance for my deficiency;
but surely, if anything could inspire a man with
eloquence, it would be the deeds through which our
friend Sir A. Wilson has acquired a world-wide re-
putation—deeds which have aided new lustre to the
service to which he belongs, and which have been
of incalculable advantage to his country. (Great
cheering.) I have alluded feebly to the deeds of
Sir Axchdale,,Wilson before Delhi ; but it is not to
be supposed tha`; his services began or ende I there.
For upwards of thirty years had Sir Archdale
served under the burning sun of India previous to
the capture of Delhi, and although immediately
after that great achievement sickness compelled hint
to a temporary retirement, be was again at his post
at Luckuow, and again distinguished himself in the
service of his country. (Renewed cheers.) We
are all rejoiced to hear that his services have been
properly appreciated, not only by the Indian au-
thorities but by our gracious sovereign. I shall
not detain you any longer save by proposing his
health, wishing him health and happiness, giving
him a cordial welcome home, and praying that he
may live long to wear the laurels which he has so
honestly and so gallantly earned.—The toast was
received with the loudest demonstrations of ap-
plause.
Sir ARCHDALE WILSON—Sir Robert Vivian and
gentlemen, I beg to return you my warmest thanks
for the kind and cordial welcome which you have
just given me. I regret that I have not the fluency
to reply as I could wish to the Hatt !ring speech of
our worthy chairman, but I can assure you, having
received many compliments, that nothing has ever
given me greater pleasure than this invitation of
the Oriental Club, composed as it is of members of
the Indian service from the three presidencies.
(Hear, hear.). lam proud—l may well be proud
—to have commanded the gallant band which
.achieved the capture of Delhi; but, I am prouder
still to find that our services have been appreciated,
not only by the Court of Directors, but by all ranks
of our fellow countrymen at home. (Loud cheers.)
It is given to very few to be so fortunate as I
have been ; bat, whatever little credit may be due
to me personally, it is quite eclipsed by the deeds
of the gallant soldiers whom had the much-prized
honour of commanding, and who bore themselves
all through like true sons of England. (Hear,
hear.) They were daily decimated by the attacks of
the enemy, one-third of them were prostrated by
sickness, but everything was borne wita the greatest
patience, and the only difficulty I ever had with my
men was to restrain their ardour until the time
came to let them loose at the enemy. When that
moment arrived you know how nobly they behaved,
and not the least noble part of their conduct was
that, when flushed with victory and in sight of the
blood of their murdered comrades, they still re-
membered that they were Englishmen and Chris-
tians, andpreserved,the captive women and children
from injury or insult. (Cheers.) And this is true not
onlyof Englishmen but of our gallant native allies.
I know it has been stated in print that women
were foully murdered by our. troops. I can give a
flat csntradictioa to that assertion, and state that
not a single case of a woman or child ill-used was
.brought under my notice during the campaign.
(Hear.) Gentlemen, in the name of the army of
Delhi, I again thank you for the kind and friendly
manner is which our healths have been received.
(The gallant general resumed his seat amid loud and
general cheering.)
The next toast was—" Sir F. Currie and the
Honourable East India Company."
Sir F. CURRIE—III the name of the company of
which I have the honour to be chairman, and of the
Court of Directors, I thank you for the toast which
has been just proposed, and which has been so
kindly received. In the position which I have
now the honour to fill, it is most gratifying to me
to be present on an occasion the object of which is
to do honour to an officer of our Indian army who
achieved such distinction, and who has received
such special marks of favour from his sovereign,
both Homes of Parliament, and from the Court of
D.rectors. (Loud cheers.) It is not my intention
to enter into long details of those services which,
as the chairman said, are alive and fresh in the
memories of us all, but I will say that while these
services reflect high honour on the army of which
Sir Archdale Wilson is so distinguished a member,
they also secure great national advantages, by pro-
moting materially the. stability of British power in
India. It is doubtless gratifying to Sir Archdale
to receive the approval and admiration of his
fellow-countrymen, and to be surrounded by friends
as he is this evening ; but merits such as his are not
to be measured by hospitable entertainments, not
his deeds to be done justice to in after-dinner
speeches. They are acknowledged by an entire
nation, and they will be recorded and remembered
by a grateful posterity. (Loud cheers.) I may
here, as the representative of the East India Com-
pany—that company whose days aro numbered—
(loud cries of " No, no")—yes, the house which is
supposed to represent the people of England has
decided by large majorities that the administration
of India shall pass into other hands, but although
the fiat has gone forth, it is admitted by both
houses of parliament that on account of no delin
quency on our part has it been issued—(hear, hear)
—stilt our continued existene• is a question of

months, or perhaps weeks, and we only hold office
until our successors are appointed, and therefore I
think the representative of the Court of Directors
could do no more graceful act on the dissolUtion of i
that body than to do justice to the zeal, ability. I
and courage, through which the past success of our
administration has been obtained. (Laud cheers.)
Our work is nearly done. I have only to hope that
our successors may be as successful as we. have been
—more successful administrators they cannot be ;
and if they want as good soldiers, they must recruit
them from the same quarters in which we have
been so fortunate. (Cheers.) I cannot wish a
better wish than that future governments of India
may rear such soldiers as Sir Archdale Wilson and
his gallant army of Delhi. (Great cheering)
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Governor-
General of India, the Civil Service, and Mr. Wake
(the hero of Arrah)." He said that every one
admired the great moral courage and firmness,
under the mist trying circumstances, which had!
been displayed by Lird Canning, and the manner!
in which he had conducted the government of India'
under circumstances of unparalleled difficulty. The
Court of Directors gave him their warmest confi-ti
deuce, and he had great pleasure in proposing hisl
lordship's health. He wished also to allude to the!
fact that it • was not alone in. the military service
of lit dia,. Vial its heroes had been found. In the!
civil service, also, many men had distinguished!
themselies, and one of those moo, he wa 3 happy to:
say, was present, namely, Mr. ake, whose name
was identified with that heroic defence of tre..h!
with which they were all familiar. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. WAKE; who was loudly cheered, rose to re-:
turn thanks for Lord Canning, for the civil service,
and on his own behalf.; He felt proud, he said, VI,
have his health proposed in the same way as that of
the conqueror of Delhi, a soldier who by his act 4
31, had not ouly turned the tile of rebellion inOude
but had no doubt decided fora time the fate -o
India. (Hear, hear.) He believed it was now prett ,
generally understood that the tall of Delhi decided
the fate of the Punjaub, arid that until Delhi ha li
fallen Sir John Law: ence trembled for the fate ot
his government. Mr. Wake concluded by again
thanking the company for identifying his name
with a festival given in honour of Sir Archdale
Wilson. i
The next toast was, I' The Commander-in-Chia
in India," whoni the chairman described as cautiou4
in conception, vigorous in action, a miser of thr
blood of his soldiers, and a spendthrift of his owni
All honour to such a man ! He trusted he would
return safe to his native country to rev') those how-
ours which a gracious Sovereign and a gratef4
country knew so well how to bestow. He gave
them " Sir. Cohn Campbell and the 'gallant army
he commanded." (Great cheering, and general
cries of " Lord Campbell.")
" The memory of the fallen" was then given, an
drunk in solemn silence, and immediately after
wards the party broke up.
The dinner and wines were supplied by Messr
Chater and Co., of the London Tavern.

Captain Thompson, 10th Native Infantry, re
viously to the mutiny was on staff employ, an ii
command of the Ist Oude Irregular Infantry. Ili
own regiment mutinied, after continuing loyal ,fo
some time, and their officers, 14 in number, wer
murdered by men of other regiments, and some, b;
order of the Nana while on their way down thi
Gaeges. The Oude regiment which he commander
mutinied on the Bth June, at Pershadderpoor, !Lb
officers and other Europeans remaining among th,
natives for!24 hours, when the ladies and all pasteC
through the centre of the regiment without be, to
molested by them. Soon after they met wit]
a rajah (Huneewuit Sing), who protected thOn
and treated them with great kindness fer
days, and when the road was open to Altalmba,
c-c Atte I them in safety to the banks of !the
Ganges opposite that fort, and, after plaoy
them in safety, refused any recompense, althohg
he had saved governmeut treasure to the amouu
of 9001., saying, that it should not be said he ha.
been paid for what he hid done. It was sufficten
thatshe had kept his word like a Rajpoot chief, itre
now he was free to fight with us or against us. i I
is scarcely necessary to say that he adopted lth
latter course. Captain Thompson then joineditht
Yolunte r Cavalry as a private, and was pr sent
in every action fought by Havelock and Oatram,
including a two mouths' siege in Lucknow, end
I was in Alumbagli during the whole four months
that the enemy were held in check by Gen. Out-
ram, and was present at the last siege of Lucknow
by Sir C. Campbell. At this time this gallant
officer had succeeded to the command of the Vo-
lunteer Cavalry, in wh se ranks he had fought 14
battles, and only left in consequence of 10-s of
health. The services of this firm and gallant lit-
tle band are so well known, that it seems to a
looker-on an unaccountable omission that each
individual compasing it has not received a hero's
reward, as without any doubt a hero each of them
proved himself to be, and so will be considered
by Lis countrymen.
Mrs. Hawkins and three children.—This lady,
widow of Captain Hawkins, Bsrigal Artillery,
had a mist wonderful escape from Gwalior, being
left two. days after ill.) rest of the ladies had
escaped, -on account of her husband's lie
was brutally murdered before her oyes, arid the
rebels loaded their guns to kill hoc and her chil-
dren, when they were diverted from their purpose
by the look and entreaties of her eldest child.
Mrs. Hawkins applied for help to a wife of one of
the officers in the rajah's service in Gwalior, who
scut her a bullock cart to travel iu. She then
I got a few of the cavalry to assist her in her escape,
I and in five days she reached Agra. On the road
she was. several times molested by the rebels,
who with drawn swords ordered her and her
children out of the cart, threatening their lives
each time. When half way between Gwalior and
Agra, the Dolopore Rajah gave her some of his
armed soldiers, who accompanied and protected
!lir during the remainder of her sad and perilous
Journey. Her friend Mrs. Steward was killed by
her side before leaving Gwalior.
Captain and Mrs. Peile and child, 38th Bengal
Light Infantry. This officer and his lady and child
had perhaps the narrowest escape from Delhi of any
one who have succeeded in get ing away from the
mutineers. What they went through ere they
reached K.urnaul can scarcely be described insufh
ciently distressing colours. Mrs. P. has written,
from her own knowledge, an account of thee!. hair-
breadth 'stapes, and it is to be hoped she will glye
her fellow-countrymen and women the opportunity
of seeing her truttifel and graphic description.
Mrs. Catania, widow of the late Mr. G. Catania,
Oude service, escap,d from the Lucknow garrison,
losing all she possessed.
Mrs. Stroyan and child, daughter of the above-
named lady, and widow of the late asistant-com-
missioner, who was murdered only a few_ months
after their marriage, had a most miraculous escape
from Sultanpore to Calcutta, losing all.
Mrs. Gilbert and child, wife of Lieut. Gilbert,
Gwalior Contingent, escaped very narrowly from
Gwalior, and lost during the mutiny all her pro-
perty.
There are many other cases onboard which would
excite sympathy, but we give these as being most
prominent, and we do it that our countrymen may
admire, as we know they sympathise with, the sor-
rows, the sufferings, the losses, both domestic and
pecuniary, of those fellow-countrymen and women
who have passed through the ordeal of the late
I" miseries of the mutiny."
