The presentation took place at 5 o'clock in the Guild-
hall, which had been most tastefully fitted up for the
occasion by etr. Bunning, the city architect. In the
centre, and in front of a gallery which had been erected
for ladies at the eastern end of the hall, was placed the
chair for the Lord Mayor, and immediately on his
lordship's left was a chair of State for his Royal Highness,
composed of crimson velvet and gold, with the arms of
the Duke emblazoned in gold on the back of the chair.
• On either side of the Lord Mayor were seats for the
aldermen and distinguished guests, Galleries for the
members of the Common Council were fixed on the north
and south sides of the hall, the front of which were
decorated with emblems of the Order of the Garter, the
Order of the Bath, and coronets of the Duke. In three
galleries, surrounding the aldermen and Common Conn-
cil, were raised seats for the accommodation of ladies,
and in front of the eastern gallery seats for the ladies of
the aldermen. The western window had iu its centre
a beautiful glass star from Messrs. Copeland's, beneath
and around which were festoons and trophies of flags.
In the centre of the eastern window was a portrait of his
Royal Highness, surrounded by a trophy composed of
flags of various nations, interspersed with the Royal
standard and colours of the Grenadier Guards. The
galleries and the compartments on the north and
south sides of the hall were decorated with tro-
phies of flags, shields, and wreaths, and in front
of the northern gallery was placed a medallion
of her Majesty in gold. From the large cornices of
the hall were suspended flags of all nations, and from
the ceiling two large chandeliers computed of painted
and cut-glass drops.
By 4 o'clock every available seat was occupied, and
the spectacle when the lighting of the hall was complete
was grand and imposing. The Turkish Ambassador was
one of the earliest arrivals. There was a large number of
distinguished officers present, whose names will be found
in the report of the proceedings at the banquet at the
Mansion-house in the evening.
The Duke of Cambridge on entering the hall was most
loudly cheered.
His Royal Highness having signed the declaration
presented to him, was then addressed by the Chamber-
lain, Sir J. KEY, in the following words :
" The connection so long existing between your Royal
Highnee. and this ancient corporation, honoured as one
of its most respectable companies (the Merchant Taylors)
is by having your name enrolled as its oldest and most
esteemed honorary member, and your presence at a re-
cent, and long to be remembered meeting of the Court,
when it tendered the expression of its respect to a Prince
illustrious by personal character, and about to become
more illustrious by an alliance which would ennoble the
proudest ancestry and add grace to the most brilliant
throne, would seem to supersede the necessity of dwell-
ing upon the nature of that distinction which you have
signified your pleasure to accept at our hands to-day.
From what transpired on that occasion you would per-
ceive that it is in no light estimation we hold the honours
of our civic guild ; that we use nothing of an apologetic
tone in presenting them, but have a confident persuasion
that rank, however illustrious—talents, however dis-
tinguished—services, however transcendent or enduring,
will find in the freedom of this city a distinction
which extends their celebrity, and a privilege which
enhances their reward. It is under the fulness of
this conviction we have invited your Royal
Highness here to-day. We felt how acceptable it
would be to you to cast in your historic lot with
the groat spirits of the past—with Chatham, with Pitt,
with Nelson, with Wellington, with Beckford—men
whose names are on our enrolments, whose busts are
upon our walls, but whose deeds have a more imperish-
able monument still in the shrine of the nation's heart.
(Cheers.) We know your Royal Highness's estimate of
rank, of birth, of near connection with Royalty. You
esteemed tb.ose thiegs great according as the conduct of
their possessor made them great—as they were adorned
by the graces of character, as they were turned to the
account of a nation's happiness, as in the beneficient
purposes for which they were employed there was sure
to be reflected upon them a brighter lustre than they
gave ; inasmuch that, if I were to select a designation
most welcome to your ears now, and most likely to go
down with history to other times, it would be, not the
illustrious prince, but the useful%publicservant,—not the
monarch's kinsman, but the humblest soldier's friend.
(Cheers.) The soldier's friend, I said, and the very
name leads us back to a passage in our nation's life cha.
racterizad by more chLfluel ad incidents, calling up more
of mingled feeling destined to be referred to hereafter,
with stronger alternations of pride and shame than any
event in the annals of history. And yet, sir, I believe
I give utterance to the sentiment of this Court when, in
any retrospect we take of the late war, I say the upper-
most feelings of an Englishman's heart should be those
of permitted elation, heartfelt thankfulness, and honest
pride. Mistakes there were of economy, of administra-
tive rule, of unpractised generalship, such as might have
been looked for, perhaps, in the people of a land which
had had rest for 40 years ; but still, of dishonour to our
flag, of stain upon our sword, of shadow of reproach
upon the stoutness of the English heart or the indomit-
ableness of the English will, no trace ever appeared from
the first landing of our troops at Gallipoli to the firing
• the last shot against the shattered f irtr, s = of Sebastopol;
(Cheers.) It is evident we owed, under God's blessing,our
successes to the valiant spirit of the many,—our losses
only to the mismanagement of the few. The characteristic of
the English soldiery is to lean with unquestioning con.
fidence upon those who lead them, ready to rush upon
destruction, if destruction be set before them, in the
wish to cover any error on their general's part by a
doubled measure of intrepidity on their own; and by this
intrepidity, by God's blessing, we conquered ; for as a
Christian nation we must ever bear in mind that even
the consummate skill and unrivalled generalship of a
Wellington, with the indomitable courage and spirit of
British soldiers, would without God's blessing be of no
avail. Of the part sustained by your Royal Highness in
this ever memorable campaign it would not beccme me
to speak particularly. Nor is it needful. The tidings
used to reach us through that widely diffused organ of
public opinion which morning by morning announced to
its million readers the privations of our country's brave.
The whole scene was brought before us by a pen as
fearless in its exposure of abuses as it Ras unsurpassed
by the vividness of its graphic power; and in the midst
of that scene, wherever difficulties were to be faced or
dangers were to be shared, or hardships were to be en-
dured, wherever the countenance of a noble presence was
needed to .decide the wavering, or the sympathies of a
feeling heart were required to sustain and comfort the
dietreesed, we saw your Royal Highness. (Cheers.) We
followed you in imagination through that eventful night,
the first spent by our troops on Crimean soil, when in
tentless and unsheltered misery you lay exposed to the
night-long storm. (Loud cheers.) We realised the sound
of your voice on the victorious heights of Alma, calling
attention to the flying enemy and heartening the ex-
hausted troops in their work; while, when we saw you in
the thick of that murderous fire at Inkerraan, more than
half your noble guards lying dead or wounded upon the
field, a body of Russians singling you out for vengeful
and deliberate aim, and even your faithful horse struck
from under you, we confess to having felt a national pride
in Royalty that he who so nobly led on England's armies
was so nearly allied to England's Queen. It seems, there-
fore, needless to say how entirely our gracious Sove-
reign carried with her the suffrages of her loving subjects
when in the selection of a fitting person to occupy the
highest military position in the country she was led to the
nominationli

the army and the country reaping the first fruits of this
wise selection, We see in our military councils a vigour
of purpose, a discrimination of character, a breadth of
plan and object in the educational arrangements, and a
considerate regard for the circumstances of the lowest
subaltern, which, if permitted to be carried out, will
cause the British soldier to be as much respected for his
high toned moral deportment in the barrack as for his
fearless and undaunted spirit in the field. Nor can I con-
clude without adverting to another feature of your royal
highness's public services likely to elicit strong feelings
of admiration from the members of this court—l allude
to active, painstaking interest you have evinced in those
noble institutions which have made our country as pro-

eminent for her moral achievements as she isunriva.iled

for the glory of her arms. England, in the orderings of a
moral Providence, has a great mission to fulfil. If she is
to wage war abroad with the despot, the oppressor, with
the man who would encroach upon European liberties or
roll back the waves of an advancing civilisation, she is also
to wage war at home with sin, misery, and suffering—
with the incursions of ignorance upon oar national insti-
tutions, or the inroads of poverty upon our social happi-
ness. Her two types of patriotism are the soldier and
the philanthropist, the defender of our liberties and the
benefactor of our homes, and we tender our respect to
you in both capacities. I am commissioned to present to
you both the badge of citizenship and the ensign of war.
Honouring your Royal Highness as we do for all those
personal qualities you have displayed in material warfare
we must honour you yet more for the inherited partiality
with which your desire to be identified with the noblest
achievements of Christian philanthropy—for your wish
that the school, the hospital, and the asylum should
never be dissociated from your honoured name, and that
anything you may be able to do for your country in dis-
ciplining her sons to the use of arms may be eclipsed kY

yet nobler services in the cause of charity and in the
arts of peace. (Cheering.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who on rising was received
with loud and prolonged Cheering, said,—My Lord
Mayor, it becomes my duty to express to your Lord-
ship and this Court my sense of the honour which has
just been conferred upon me in such flattering terms by
the city of London. Gentlemen, I can assure you that
I am deeply sensible of the compliment and the distinc-
tion paid to me, and although I do not for one moment
think that I have any right to be mentioned with the
illustrious names which have been brought under your
notice by the kindness and favour of the Chamberlain
who has just addressed ;you, the very fact of my name
being coupled with such men as a Chatham, a Nelson.
or a Wellington, in itself constitutes a distinction of
which any man, whatever his feelings may be, may, I
think, be justly proud. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, I
naturally ask myself,how it it is that I have attained the
proud distinction which has thus been conferred upon
me by my fellow-citizens of the metropolis of London—l
think I may fairly say one of the greatest, if not the
greatest commercial city in the world. Gentlemen, I
have merely performed my duty to the best of my ability.
(Cheers.) From the commencement of my career I have
endeavoured to do so, and it is the simple perform-
ance of that duty which has now placed we in the proud
position in which I feel myself—not alone as the head of
the army, though the favour of my Sovereign, but at this
moment as your honoured guest, as a fellow-citizen of
the citizens of London. (Loud cheering.) But, gentle-
men, I cannot but think that in placing this great, this
distinguished mark of your good opinion upon myself as
an individual, it has occurred to the citizens of London
that in doing honour to me they were at the same time
paying me the greatest compliment in their power by
paying a compliment to the honour of the army.
(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I never can forget that, although
individually from a sense of duty I may have obtained
the esteeli, thiTiffekion, and the regard of my fellow citi-
zens and of the country, it is to the army that I owe the
high and distinguished position in which I feel myself
placed. (Cheers.) Therefore, any compliment that the
citizens of London are disposed to pay to the army, if it
is in my person, I can only esteem as a double and a most
graceful favour. (Cheers.) Gentlemen it will hardly be
expected on your part, and it would ill become me if I
ventured in any respect to allude to the very limited and
humble services which I have performed on various occa-
sions in different parts of the world. The worthy Cham-
berlain has alluded to those services in terms which I
really think go beyond the merit which they deserve—
(cries of "No, no !") —for after all what I have done is
that which would be done by, I think, any one who had
the feelings of a man and who had the interests and the
honour of his country at heart. (Much cheering.) I
therefore pass over thoee events, which have now become
matters of history, and which will, no doubt, be recorded
in their proper light for ages to come. That I should have
had the advantage—the honour of participating in these
great events, I certainly now look back upon as one of
the greatest pleasures and one of the greatest satisfactions
that I can possibly experience. But such as these ser-
vices were they certainly were not of a character to place
me alone in the proud position in which I find myself, for
I venture to hope that in various other ways I have also
deserved and obtained the esteem and approbation of my
fellow-citizens. From an early period, taking the
example of one most dear to myself—most dear I believe
to the citizens of London—my honoured father—(cheers)
—I have endeavoured on all occasions to assist and pro-
mote as far as I could the interests and the welfare of my
fellow-citizens and those unfortunate persons of various
grades is life who call for the assistance and support of
their neighbours and fellow kinsmen. The endeavour,
I am glad to find, has been in many respects successful ;
in every respect I have met with the hearty and zealous
support of the citizens of London. As far as I can I
shall continue, in spite of the very different position in
which I am placed, to add my mite and my humble en-
deavour to the furtherance of the great institutions,
not only of this metropolis, but of the country at large.
(Cheers.) I have been a member for some time of one
of the greatest corporate bodies of the city—the Men
chant Taylors who, by a deputation, have teis day
done me the honour of introducing me to the Lord
Mayor—a compliment which I highly prize. lam gra-
tified to be a member of that body. I have the further
gratification of being at the head of one of the noblest
institutions of this metropolis. I assure you, gentlemen,
that although I am a soldier at heart and love the army,
I confess I have the deepest interest and affection for
my young friends over whom I preside at Christ's Hos-
pital. lam merely stating these things to prove that a
man although a soldier may at the same time be a citi-
zen, and I trust that from being a soldier he is not on
that account a less good citizen. I therefore hope that
his lordship will find that the honour, the high compli-
ment which he with the citizens of London has conferred
upon me they will not have reason to lament, for I as-
sure them that they wi!l find me just as devout, as obe-
dient, and asegood.a citizen as they have complimented
me upon ling a soldier. Gentlemen, I again repeat that
the honour that has been conferred upon me is one of
which any man may be justly proud whatever his sta-
tion or position in life ; that I am justly proud of that
honour • that I am confident, from the kind expressions
which I receive from all quarters, that that honour is
conferred upon me, not because of the official position
which I occupy, but because, in various ways, and
through the advantages which I have derived, I have
been enabled to obtain the esteem, the affection, and the
regard of my fellow-countrymen. Gentlemen, it is upon
these conditions chiefly that I feel proud in finding my-

I sin highly flattered by the distinction that
has been conferred upon me, and shall never forget to
the last days of my life the kindness and cordiality of my
reception by ao citizens of London. (His Royal High-
ness resumed his seat amid loud and prolonged cheering.)
The sword was a chaste and magnificent weapon, rich
in design, yet finished with such good taste and care as
to be in all respects within the limits assigned to regula-
tion swords of general officers. The handle was of carved
ivory, studded with carbuncle—the hilt of gold, richly
chased, and set with uncut emeralds and brilliants. On
the cross of the hilt were the insignia of a Field-IVlarshal
in brilliants, surrounded with a wreath of oak leaves and
acorns, formed by emeralds and brilliants, beautifully
set. Onthe scabbard was the Duke's cypher in brilliants,
and the city arms carved in carbuncle, and set with
rubies. On the blade was inscribed—
"The freedom of the city of London, together wi h this
sword, was presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, K
Commander-in-Chief of the British
army, by the Corporation of London, in testimony of their
high estimation of his distinguished character and services.
A.D. 1857."

On the scabbard, amid elaborate chasings, which showed
such kfinished workmanship as only comes from Han-
cock's of Bruton-street, were inscribed the words—
" Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, and Sebastopol.
The Duke of Cambridge shook bands with the Lord
Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, Alderman Wire, Alderman
Rose, and many of the distinguished visitors by whom
