BANQUET TO THE 'lBth REGIMENT AT

117.11 R

-- ~

On Tuegday last the 78th Highlanders, who so
greatly distinguished themselves in India during
the mutiny, especially at Cawnpore and Lucknow,
were honoured with a public reception and a ban-
quet at Nairn. At half-past 12 the train from the
west brought the regiment, about 800 strong, and
they were drawn up on the road adjoining the
Nairn Railway Station, adjacent to which was a
triumphal arch, surmounted by a floral crown, and
bearing the inscription in large letters formed of
holyhock • blossoms and spanning the roadway,
"Welcome to Nairn, 78th 1" From two lofty flag-
staffs, decorated with ivy, floated the Union Jack,
on the one side on a large banner of blue ground,
and on the other of crimson. The command having
been given the soldiers marched in companies,
headed by the sergeants of their respective corps,
in close column. -The road from the railway station
to the west end of the town, on both sides, was
lined with well-dressed parsons of both sexes, and
every eminence near was crowded with occupants,
anxious to catch a glimpse of the gallant fellows as
they passed along. The cheering was enthusiastic,
and the progress a. complete ovation till they
reached another. triumphal arct at the, Royalty,
nearly opposite to the Provost's house. Here was
a magnificent erection, composed of evergreens and
flowers, surmounted by a colossal crown, and bear-
ing underneath the inscription —" Honour to the
brave."

~Lere a halt was called, and Provost Findlay stood
forward to present-the freedom of the town to the
commanding officer, which he did in the following
"Colonel M'lntyre—ln thus doing myself
honour of addressing you, I can assure you, it
is with no ordinary degree of pri le and pleasure
that I appear here, accompanied by the corporation
of the town of Nairn, to give you and your gallant
regiment a most hearty welcome to our ancient
burgh. The town council, cordially approving of
the banquet to which the regiment has been invited,
and sincerely sympathising in the sentiments in
which it was originated, have voted to you the free-
dom of this burgh—the highest civic honour we can
colder. My brother magistrates and councillors are
here met to present to you, through me, the act of
admission on the entraw.te of your regiment to the
burgh. (Cheers.) I may here add that our interest
in the regiment is, if possible, the more enhanced
by the consideration that the gallant 78th will enter
our royal burgh under the command of a brave and
gallant officer whom we hail as a fellow citizen. We
wish to express our high admiration of the services
of your brave and distinguished regiment in India
during the late calamitous mutiny, more particularly
of the indomitable courage, the unswerving discip-
line, and the irresistible prowess with which they,
under the great and good General Havelock, and the
renowned Campbell, in the days of their country's
need, and in the face of fearful odds, advanced
so successfully to the ever memorable recapture of
Cawnpore, and the relief and rescue of the brave
and interesting garrison of Lucknow. We are
all grateful for these and the many other distin-
guished services of the 78th, and proud are we of
the heroes who achieved them. Time will not
permit of my entering more into detail on this
occasion; I therefore hope you will believe me to be
sincere when I assure you, on behalf of the spirited
corporation and community over which I have the
honour to preside, that we feel proud in doing
honour to the brave. I myself, as an old soldier,
feel the deepest interest in the services and renown
of the gallant 7Sth—the corps in which my own
lamented father carried the colours when your
regiment fought and nobly conquered at Maids.

The Rev. Edward Rudgc, B.C.L.,Chaplain-Super-
intendant of King Fdward Vl.'s School for Desti-
tute Children, yesterday attended at the Fisgard's
offices at Woolwich Dockyard, in charge of 40 well-
grown lads, from 14 to 15 years of age, volunteers
for the naval service on board her Majesty's ships
of war. The entries for the service are now limited
to 20 per week. The weekly applications, how-
ever, are seldom under 200. A large number of the
lads were consequently rejected, and some failed to
pass medical inspection.
Her Majesty's gunboat Louisa, 60-horse power,
Lieut.-Commmander T. W. Oliver (tender to the
screw steam Coastguard ship Edinburgh), yester-
day arrived at Woolwich from Leith, to be exa-
mined and repaired.
Her Majesty's steam storeship Rhadamanthus, I
Master-Com. Sturdee, has shipped a full cargo of
swam gear and will sail to-day for the western
-YaT•ds.
Since the promulgation of " the commercial code
of signals for the use of all nations," by the Board
of Trade, a number of proposals for improvements
in signalling have been made to the Admiralty,
and independent [of Redle's cone signals, now on
trial in the Channel fleet, several night and day
signals have been submitted, and some ordered to
be tested at Woolwich. It may be well to apprise
projectors of these and other matters that the article
to be tried is always manufactured or prdvided at
the inventor's expense. This is an invariable rule
with the Admiralty, and were it not strictly ob-
served serious cost would be incurred often to little
purpose, as it is quite impossible for the Board to
ascertain the value of an invention until it is re-
ported on by competent and independent parties.
.An improved code of general signals has lately been
prepared, the result of the recommendation of a com-
mission consisting of Admirsil Hope, now comman-
der-in-chief in the East Indies, and Capt. Phillimore,
commanding the Curacoa steam frigate. It is possi-
ble the symbols for interpreting this code may be
amended, for certainly thelold flags are objectionable
on many accounts, being. more in num,),:x than are
necessary, and not sufficiently distinct. The cone
symbols have several warm advocates, but they ap-
pear better calculated for telegraphing than general
signals, for a general signal should be complete at
one view, and not dependent for interpretation on
successive hoists. We understand that the designs
now being prepared at the expense of the inven-
tors, and ordered to be tried and reported on at
Woolwich, are Mrs. Costan's night signals, Mr.
Ward's night signals, and Commander Brown's
battle signals, the latter comprised of four symbols
of different shapes, which by transmutation of two
together make 20 messages, presumed to be suffi-
cient for all purposes in action.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty : Lieut. T. Hooper to the
Prometheus ; W. Rogers, paymaster, to the Prome-
theus • T. W. W. Spear, paymaster, to the Ardent;
R. T. B. Byuce, naval cadet, to the Aboukir ; J. A.
Challice, naval cadet, to the Mrsey ; T. B. Gough
and A. 11. Byng, naval cadets,e to the Hero ; V. J.
L. Peyton and R. Sutton, naval cadets, to the Odin;
G. E. Hornbv and P. I'. Richards, naval cadets, to
the Mars; F. Shoubridge, naval cadet, to the
Diadem ; A. P. Douglas, A. B. Denny, It. W. Ha-
mond, and J. R. E. Pattison, naval cadets, to the
Donegal; A. C. Jenner, H. J. Phillimore, and J.
C. C. Dennis, naval cadets, to the Trafalgar ;
Rumble, chief engineer of the Royal Albert, pro-
moted to be inspector of machinery afloat ; Charles
Pemberton, chief engineer of the Marlborough,
promoted to be inspector of machinery afloat ; and
James M'Laren, acting third-class assistant engi-
eer, to the Amphion.

The clerk read the burgess ticket and presented
t to Col. M'lntyre.
Col. M'INTYRE, in returning thanks, said it was
not to anything he had done, but the heroic deeds
of the gallant fellows in the ranks, to which the
success which had crowned their efforts must be
ascribed. He highly valued the honour now con-
ferred, and should ever cherish a grateful remem-
brance of it. (Cheers.)
Deafening cheers succeeded, and the regiment,
at the word of command, moved forward, passing
along High-street on their way to tho Links, where
the banquet w, s awaiting them in an immense tent
or marquee, within the walls of the Bathing-house
grounds, capable of containing 2,000 guests.
The chair was taken at half-past two by Mr.
Win. Brodie, of Brodie, lord•lientenant of the
county of Nairn.
Among the visitors present were Prince Edward
of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Richmond and a
distinguished party from Gordon Castle ; Lady
Gordon Cumming,
of Altyre, and the Master of
Altyre ; the lady of the lamented Capt. Cresswell,
and a number of the landed proprietors of the neigh-
bouring counties, with their ladies and families.
The substantial part of the banquet having been
concluded,

The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were pro.
posed from the chair, and responded to with the
liveliest enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then, addressing the guests of
the evening, said-78th Highlanders! I am de-
lighted to see you here. We give this banquet to
testify our admiration of your gallant and efficient
military services, particularly in India since 'the

be forgotten by a grateful country." The original
conquest of India--the gradual extension and eon-
solidation of the Anglo-Indian Empire—its mild
and prosperous administration for 100 years—these
were confessedly among the most striking achieve-
ments of modern times. Owing to the unexpected
outbreak of a m ide-spread and ferocious mutiny on
the part of the Indian soldiery, whom we had our-
selves trained to arms, and trusted after they had
long shown themselves quiet and faithful, that great
empire was, in 1857, shaken to its centre, and allbut

than the original conquest. We had lost our pres-
tige—our foes had possessed themselves of Delhi,
our Indian arsenal and our treasury. Flushed with
success, they were also more numerous, better
trained, and better organised than they had ever
been before, yet India, thanks to our admirable
mLitary and civil service, was reorganised and the
rebels dispersed in less than two years! Time
would fail were I to attempt noticing in detail the
many distinguished services which were rendered
by the 78th during this arduous struggle. But I
cannot forbear a special allusion to the more im-
portant results—to their intrepid, and at length
successful advances, under the noble, ever-to-be
lamented Havelock, and the celebrated Lord Clyde,
to the wonderful recapture of Cawnpore, and the
glorious relief and rescue of the resolute and in-
teresting Lucknow garrison—its heroes and its
herobles. It was honourable to the 78th that such
a man as Havelock should have foretold before that
superior training and discipline on their part—that
in • his own words he should have ." long, and
anxiously waited the opportunity of developing
their powers." It was glorious for them and

which carried you over and through all ob-

in remembering on this occasion your brave
comrades in arms, English, Irish, and Scotch
as well as those of the Indian army who remained
faithful. They also did their duty nobly, and richly
merit our gratitude and applause. In the day of
our exaltation let us remember the dead who fell
gloriously, fighting for their Queen and country.

been abroad. I trust I may add that in such an
event the exertions of many of her Majesty's civil
subjects will almost vie with yours.
The toast was drunk amidst vehement cheering.
Sergeant-Major PococK, in a brief speech, re-
turned thanks. He concluded by remarking that
such a scene as they had witnessed to-day, with the
honour which had- been con for..d upon them, was
more than sufficient to compensate for all the toils
and hardships they had undergone. (Cheers.)
Various other toasts were drunk.
The whole of the officers of the regimtnt (27)
were present at the entertainment.
There were about 800 men in all, about one-half
of whom served in the Indian campaign. In the
march to the banquet the corps were preceded by
twelve of the pioneers who did duty in India. They
yet bore in their appearance the traces of the hard-
ships and privations endured by them in that
arduous service.--For res Gazette.

THE TREATY OF PEACB.

of his remarks upon this interference. You will
have a free translation of the ejaculations that will
pervade the, great cities of Northern Italy when
this Treaty of Zurich comes to be read in their
streets.
However, here the treaty is, or at least what
purports to he an analysis of it, as the text in ex-
tense
cannot be published before it is ratified. Here
the treaty is, and we must deal with it It declares '
the will of the two Emperors, and that united will
is fate to Italy, if it should take the form of united
action. Lombardy, now exulting in her liberty and
in the mild protection of her faithful &naves, is to
undertake a liability as a ransom for her freedom of
£10,000,0000 to Austria, and a compensation of
£2,500,000 to her deliverer. Moreover, to check
any outburst of her too exuberant spirits, she is to
lie in her fat, unprotected, plains at the feet of the'
great fortresses of Peschiera and Mantua. The
Treaty of Zurich presents to Lombardy a heavy
bill for present payment, and a heavy menace for
the future. That there shall be no lack of signifi-
cancy in the menace, the Austrians are ostenta-
tiously increasing the strength of Peschiera, and
cutting down the mulberry and olive trees to a safe
distance from the lines. Even Milan will scarcely
find another excuse for an illumination in the
treaty which fixes her obligations. Milan, how-
ever, is the only city the present freedom of which
is ackncAvledged by the treaty of Zurich. " The
rights of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of
Modena, and the Duke of Parma are expressly re-
served." The "tranquillity of the Church and the
power of the Holy Father" are to be insured, not by
Lega-
tions,recognising the present Government in the
but by the hopeful expedient of reforms to be
advised by the Emperors of Austria and France,
and to be carried out by the Pope. There is no
recognition of the Italy of to-day ;no admission of
any knowledge of those well-constituted Govern-
ments which :,re administering justice and. protect-
ing order; the Zurich Plenipoteutaries see nothing
but the old upholstery of the Italy of the Grand
Dukes, and bow with diplomatic politene'ss to the
empty chairs of state now removed to various lum-
ber rooms. According to this programme, Italy is
to resume hei• old position, with some slight modi-
fications. The people of the Romagna, are to return
to their allegiance,-and to dwell under the reformed
administration of the Holy Father, under Imperial
advice. Florence, and Mantua, and Parma are to
welcome back their Dukes. Then shall arise, under
the auspices of the two Emperors, the great Con-
federation of all the States of Italy. There will be

Thomas Jink, who appeared before the commis-
sioners yesterday in a state of intoxication, and de-
nied having received anything for his vote, was re-
called this morning, and admitted that his %Nife re-
ceived 130 from the conservatives. _ _

Joseph Hascroft, a non-elector, deposed to having
been employed by Mr. T. K. Sanderson to
bribe a voter named Dawson. Witness told Daw-
son that he could get him £4O, and Mr. Sanderson
waited in the passage until the bargain was con-
cluded, ready to pay the money. [Mr. Sanderson
acted as secretary to the conservative committee,
and in his evidence last week denied most distinctly

having been cognisant of any act of bribery.]
Wit-
ness added that Sanderson declined to pay him for
his services after the election was over, and he only
recovered the money after putting Mr. Sanderson
in the county court. Joe Brear paid him. Hascroft
further spoke to having been present when Brear
offered a man named Titus Thompson a bribe, and
to having heard John Crossland offer :George Ing•
ham, the eating-house keeper, £5O. Heard Mr.
Alder offer a voter named Taylor money, but heard
no particular sum mentioned. Never saw or heard
of " the Man in the Moon" in the election. •
Mr. Willes—Have you been asked to go away
from Wakefield, so as not to come before us ?
INritnes.s—Yes. I was asked a week ago by a
person in the employ of Mr. Sanderson, who told
me that if I left Wakefield for a time, Mr. Sander-
son would pay me my expenses.
Titus Thompson said he voted for Charlesworth,
but received nothing for it. Always voted "free
gratis."
Simeon Speak voted for Charlesworth, and re-
ceived £4O for his vote from Archibald Crowther.
Robert Jackson, landlord of the Borough Market

Hotel, stated that just before the election, three
voters, named Taylor, Cass, and Link, stayed at his
house and slept there. Voters were also refreshed
at his house, and his bill against the conservatives
amounted to more than £25.
Samuel Fieldhouse voted for Leatham, and re-
ceived £2O from Jos. Tunnacliffe. Was offered £5O
by Archie Crowther to vote for Charlesworth, but
declined to take it.
Charles Peat siid Joseph Wood, a voter, showed
him £35 in his own workshop, which he said hehad
received for his vote. Wood had been examined,
and had sworn that he had received nothing.

Mr. Serjeant Pigott remarked that it was sad to
see the conflicting evidence which had been laid be-
fore the commissioners. In some of the cases the
perjury was so gross that the commissioners should
lee' it their duty to certify them to the Attorney-
General, in order that the offending parties might
be prosecuted.
• A number of witnesses were then called, Who
spoke to attempts which had been made to bribe
them by Sharpley to vote for, Mr. Leatham.
The inquiry was again adjourned.
ERIZATUAL—In our report of Tuesday's proceed-
ings it was stated that a bribe of £2O had been
offered to a man named Gifford by Mr. Boston, the
gumnaker. It should hare been Mr. Boston, the
woollendraper.
