period when war seems to be threatening in Europe,
and when there is no saying how soon the mimic
warfare of the review or the parade may be turned
into the stern realities of war. But lam perfectly

show yourselves not unworthy of the high reputa-
tion which the Highlanders have gained in every
country of Europe for their martial qualities, and.
that you will act in a manner worthy of your noble

plause.) The sight of this room, and the sight of
the armed men whom I see before me, forcibly re-
call a similar scene that occurred 11 months ago,
when for the first time I had the pleasure of meeting
a large body of the volunteers of this city in arms ;
and then there were 1,200 men assembled, which
was thought a very great effort. It was by far the
largest assembly of volunteers that had ever been
seen in Britain, and excited great interest. It was
then thought by the most sanguine supporters of the
volunteer movement that possibly 4,000 men might
be raised in Lanarkshire for the defence of their
Queen and country. Before 10 months had elapsed.
I had the pleasure of seeing 21,500 Scottish volun-
teers assemble before their Queen, within sight of
the ancient palace of their kings, at the foot of the
mountain on the summit of Which was the ancient
Scottish lion reared, and who, by their gallant bear-
ing, their discipline, and their admirable equipment
and conduct, showed themselves worthy of the high
eulogy pronounced on them by their Sovereign, that
she had never seen so noble a sight, and she never
expected to see such another again. (Loud cheers.)
I regard with no small degree of pride and satisfac-
tion the leading part which the inhabitants of this
county and city have taken in this great movement
At the review in Edinburgh there were 9,000 men
in arms from Lanarkshire and the neighbouring
counties. This is the appearance that a population
of 700,000 men made before their Sovereign. The
whole of England assembled in London—l saw

ment, that at first nearly overwhelmed it, have said.
nothing for a long time; but they have said that
the Volunteer movement is a menace to other coun-
tries, that it is the raising up of a warlike spirit,
from which must accrue the most dangerous and
ruinous consequences to the country, for they say
that it will involve us in war. Now, I must say
that if there is one proposition that is the reverse
of the truth, it is the proposition that this Volunteer
movement is an aggressive movement, or that it is
a menace to any other country." (Hear, hear.)
