Major-General the Hon. Sir James Y. Scarlett,
K.C.8., presided ou the occasion, and was sup-
ported on the right by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge and the Earl of Orkney, and
on the left by the Duke of Buckingham. and Major-

K.C.8., Major-Gen. Sir W. F. Williams, K. C. 8.,
Major-Gen. Sir C. Yorke, K.C.8., Major-Gen. Sir
Sir R. Airey, K.C. B.Sir H. Dalrymple, Lord G.
Gordon Lennox, and ajor-General Dupuis.
Dinner was served at eight o'clock. The usual
loyal toasts were proposed and duly honoured.
The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of the even-
ing.
The toast was most enthusiastically received.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, on rising, was received
with renewed applause. He commenced by expres-
sing his gratitude for the kind maner in which Sir
J. Scarlett had introduced his health, and declared
himself glad of the opportunity of personally thank-
ing his entertainers for the honour they had con-
ferred upon him by inviting him to be present at
the inauguration of their magnificent club. Thanks
to the gracious consideration of his Sovereign, and
to the kind feeling manifested towards him by the
country generally, he had been called upon to fill a
position of high trustin the country. It was a proud •
thing to be placed at the head of any army, but when
that army was the British army, the honour was
one of the highest that could be conferred
on any man. And why ? Because the officers and
men of the British army, on every occasion when
called upon, had done honour to their country.
(Cheers.) They lived in peculiar times, and it was
not easy, filling the high office to which he had
been called, to satisfy everybody. What he chiefly
wished was that credit should be given him foe the
desire to act justly and to perform his duties with
fairness to all parties. (Hear, hear.) His gallant
friend had been good enough to say that he had
not thought it beneath him to study his profession
in all its duties, regardless of the position in which.
Providence had placed him. Now, he had no hesi-
tation in saying that it was his belief that that por-
tion of his education had brought him into the
proud position which he now held. (Hear.) His
great object, so long as he held the office of Com-
inander-iu-Chief, would be to make all young offi-
cers learn their profession thoroughly. It was his
fixed determination to carry out his. principle ; and

officers of the British army would but add the study
of the details of the service, there could be no toubt

The flattering reception which had been given him,
he need scarcely say, would still further stimulate
his exertions in the high office to which he Lad,
