MATic FILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the propiietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the meet popular of the present age ;. and
in corroboration of which the following
extract of a letter, written
by Jelin Mollard Wheeler E.g., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother,' at Swindon, to Mr. Front for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take lair
mails, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercysto any fliend who suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu intances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," im-
pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box f the
Genuine Medicine.

MELANCHOLY OCCURBENCE.—An event has just
occurred in the town of Reading which has caused a
painful sensation among the inhabitants. Mr. John
Weedon, late mayor of the town, on Tuesday evening
last, after transacting the business of the day, went out
to take his usual walk. As he did not return, and no

tidings were beard of him, a diligent search was made,
and yesterday morning his body was found in the River
Kennett, about 50 yards below the Basingstoke Railway-
bridge. His gold watch, purse, pencilcase, and papers
were found on his person. Mr. Weedon practised as a
solicitor for many years, and only a few months ago re-
tired from business.

BANQUET TO LORD GOUGH.

On Saturday evening the directors of the Best India
Company gave a banquet to Lord Gough, the late
Commander-in-Chief in India, in honour of his return
from that scene of his hard-fought fields and splendid
victories. The banquet took place in the London
Tavern, and was probably the most superb ever given
in the city of London. The vast resources of the
establishment of Messrs. Bathe and Co. were called
into full requisition, and the room literally blazed with
the gold and silver gilt plate which met the eye in
every direction. The most magnificent pieces were
immediately in front of the chairman, including two
spirited groups—one representing the well-known
incident of King Robert Bruce attacked by assassins,
the other taken from a scene nt the battle of Nieuport,
where Prince Maurice of Nassau broke the military
power of Spain. In the centre of these stood a winged
" Victory," beautifully executed in frosted silver,
bearing in her left hand a palm, and in her right
holding forth a laurel wreath, which, by an inge-
nious movement, was most appropriately turned to-
wards the veteran guest at the moment of his rising
to return thanks. There were besides several most
unique flagons, tazzio, and dishes, formerly the pro-
perty of the late Queen Dowager, his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Buckingham,
the Earl of Lichfield, and other distinguished persons.
The wines were most rare and curious ; the cham •
pagne, claret, and burgundy once formed the choicest
portion of the stores of the exiled Royal Family of
France ; the hock the most celebrated vintage of
Johannisburg.
The band of the Guards was in one portion of the
gallery. The other portion was occupied by Lady
Gough and several other ladies of distinction.
Soon after seven o'clock, Sir Archibald Galloway,
the Chairman of the East India Company, entered the
room, followed immediately by the noble guest of the
evening. Lord Gough looked extremely well. The
weight of years and the hardships of campaigning,
though they have whitened his head, have laid
no touch on his noble bearing, his erect military air,
and his well-knit sinewy frame. He was received
on taking his seat with great cheering. Second in
interest to the hero of so many battles was the gal -
lent Major Edwardes, who sat in the centre of the
room ; a stout and well-proportioned soldier, with a
quick piercing eye, a nose cast in the true Welling-
tonian mould, and a beard that a Jewish high priest
or a Mohammedan moollah might envy.:
The chair was filled by Major-General Sir Archi-
bald Galloway, K.C.8., Chairman of the East India
Company. On the right of the chairman were Vis-
count Gough, the Marquis of Westminster, the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane, Earl Grey, Lord John Russell,
Viscount Hardinge, Hon. Captain Gough, Sir Robert
Campbell, Bart., Right Hon. Fox Maude, Right Hon.
Sir R. Peel, Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Right
Hon. Edward Ellice, Right Hon. Stephen Lushing-
ton, Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., Sir James Weir
Hogg, Bart., Sir James Macdonald, G.C.8., Sir
Charles Malcolm, and the Solicitor •General. On the
left of the chairman were Mr. John Shepherd, the
Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, the deputy
chairman of the Company, Sir William Gomm, the
Earl of Clare, Viscount Jocelyn, Mr. Charles Mills,
the Right Honourable the Vice-Chancellor of Eng-
land, Right Hon. Sir Frederick Adam, G.C.B , Right
Hon. Richard Lelor Sheil, M.P., Right Honourable
Sir W. Somerville, M.P., Sir Thomas, M'Mahon, Sir
James L. Lushington, G.C.8., Sir James Macdon •
nell, K.C.8., Sir John Doveton, Sir George Clerk,
M.P., and Sir Robert Maddock. Amongst the com-
pany were also—Hon. C. Hardinge, Hon. Major
West, Hon. G. E. Elliot, Hon. W. L. Melville, Sir
James Wigram, Right Hon. P. R. Lushington, Mr.
Henry Alexander, Mr. Henry Shank, Hon. Captain
Hardinge, Right Hon. H. Mackenzie, Sir Robert
Inglis, Bart., M.P., Right lion. Sir G. Arthur, Sir
Benjamin Brooke, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P.,
Sir William Morrison, K.C.8., Sir Charles Parker,
K.C.8., Sir H. Willock, Sir Charles Trevelyan,
K.C.8., Sir F. Smith, Sir E. Stanniel, Sir James
Campbell, Sir Emerson Tennent, Mr. John Cotton,
Mr. William Butterworth Baillie, Etc. &c. Among
the noblemen and gentlemen who were invited to the
banquet, but who were unable to be present, were the
Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Ripon, and Sir
George Grey.
The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN rose and said—My•Lords and gen-
tlemen, the East India Compaiiyhas ever been re-
markable for its loyalty and devotion to the Crown.
It is, therefore, with high satisfaction that I propose
to you " The health of her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen."— (Enthusiastic cheering.)
'The CHAIRMAN again rose and said—My Lords and
gentlemen, I am now about to propose to you a
toast which I am sure will he received by you all with
appplause. It is " The health of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert,land the rest of the Royal Family." My
Lords and gentlemen, the illustrious Consort'of her
Most Gracious Majesty, and her royal offsprini, must
be objects of the deepest interest to every loyal sub-
ject. And when we see the illustrious Prince de-
taching himself from every political party, and doing
his utmost to promote the interests and welfare of his
country; when we see him patronising exhibitions
which have for their object the benefit of the poorer
classes of our fellow-subjects, and at the same time
aErandpesaccheeamned, which must tend to
enhance assisting in
the future
prosperity of his own
and all foreign countries—my Lords and gentlemen, I
say, when we see our noble Prince thus occupying his
time in seeking the good of his countrymen, we must
deeply admire his benevolent disposition.—(Hear,
hear.) My Lords and gentlemen, I need say no more
in commendation of a Prince who is known and ap-
preciated by all. I beg to propose to you " The health
of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of
the Royal Family."-- (Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN—My
Lords and gentlemen, we
are assembled here this evening to do honour to one
of the bravest and most distinguished soldiers of the
British army—(Cheers)—who, as commander, has
fought and conquered in more battles than any gene-
ral who has ever been in Asia—battles, the results of
which, in importance to the British nation, are only
second to those of the illustrious chief whose achieve-
ments have never been equalled.—(Cheers.) I rise
to propose to you the health of Lord Viscount Gough
restored to his country, by the blessing of Pro-
vidence, after a long and proud career of military
glory. My Lords and gentlemen, it is unnecessary
;or me in this large assemblage to detail to you the
services of Lord Gough ; they are identified with the
imperishable records of the British army. Full thirty
times and more has Lord Gough fought for this coun
try, and in many of our greatest battles.—(Loud
cheers.) Look at these glorious records. I believe
there are few names entered there by that illustrious
chief, who has in them become the unconscious his-
torian of his own greatness more feettrently than Lord
Gough and his _gallant 87th Regiment, who cap-
tured -the first eagle and the first banner of France.
(Loud cheers.) But, my Lords and gentlemen,
it is to Lord Gough's services in that quarter of
the world in which we, the East India Company,
are more particularly interested, that I would
claim your attention. Lord Gough has been a faith-
ful servant to the East India Company. He has
served the Government of India as Commander-in-
Chief of our army with his whole heart, with entire
devotion, with that singleness of mind which is pe-
culiar to him, with that fortitude and perseverance
which demand from its members their deepest ac-
knowledgment. My Lords and gentlemen,: China
—the vast empire of China—submitted to his vic-
torious arms ; and in India he has gained a magnificent
kingdom for the British Crown.—(Enthusiastic
cheering.) The Gallant Chairman then turned to
Lord Gough and addressed him as follows :—My
Lord Gough, in the name of the East India Company
I have the highest gratification in expressing to you
their cordial acknowledgments for the eminent
services which you have rendered to them.—(Hear,
hear.) In their names I welcome you back to your
native land ; and I am sure there is no individual
present in this brilliant assemblage who will not unite
with me in the fervent prayer that you will long live
to enjoy the well-deserved honours conferred upon
you by a gracious Sovereign and a grateful country.
My Lords and gentlemen, I beg to propose to you
"The health of Lord Viscount Gough," with all the
honours. This toast was received with loud and con •
tinuous cheering.
Lord Gouen rose and was received with loud
cheers. He was fer a few moments so overpowered
by his feelings as to be unable to proceed ; recovering
himself, he said—Mr. Chairman, my Lords, and gen-
tlemen, I thank you warmly and sincerely for the
honour you have done me. To you, Mr. Chairman,
my especial thanks are due fur the kind and too
flattering manner in which you have expressed your
opinion of my services; and to this company they
are also due for the way in which they have recipro-
cated your expression. My Lords and gentlemen,
my thanks are also due, eminently due, to my
country for the flattering and gratifyipg manner in
which I have been received on my return :home.
They are pre-eminently due for the continuance of
that kindness which has from the first been shown tome.
They are are also due to the honourable individuals
whom I have now the honour to address—a body
whom for thirteen years I have served—a body in the
administration of whose affairs over a mighty kingdom
I my services have been employed—a body who have

kindly supported me throughout an arduous struggle in
their service, and for theirsupport I c annot be toa grate-
ful. By their help I have watched over, and I hope with
success, that great army which they have underthem in
India, whose interests I practically know they have
so much at heart—an army which has for years dii-
tinguished itself, has been an honour to its country,
and a pride to him who commands it.—(Loud cheers.)
It is to me, therefore, a gratification beyond anything
I can express, the gratification I now feel fir the
honour you have done me.—(Cheers.) After an ab-
sence of thirteen years, I return to my native country
to pass the remainder of my days in other duties, and
I cannot but feel grateful for the welcome that
country bestows on my return, and to the Sovereign
for the honoured' position I now occupy.—(Cheers.)
I have great gratification in seeing around me so
many who have served in the same sphere with my-
self with such credit and honour to themselves. I
need not instance your chairman, who has partici-

pated i❑ those deeds which will be hauled down to
posterity, and by which the Indian army has so nobly
supported the honour of this country, and upheld the
traditions of her soldiers.—(Cheers.) There are
around me many who have served in that army with
credit that never can be surpassed. lam happy to
see one individual present who participated with me
in the recent campaign, and who has already re-
ceived your approbation. I would not pass over, nor
could I do so if I would, the services of Viscount
Hardinge—(Loud cheers)—for those services are
too well known to his country—(Cheers)—and the
greatest man of the age—the man whose appeals,
when he makes them, are never forgotten—has borne
his high testimony to the gallantry and skill of that
noble individual. May his words never be fOrgotten
when he expressed a hope that others would follow the
distinguished services performed by that Noble Lord,
who, casting aside the high position he held as a ruler,
threw himself into the ranks of the army, commanding
the left brigade, led it as an Indian army ever will be
led when following a man who points them to con-
quest and to honour.—(Cheers.) I feel I am in-
fringing on your time, and that I am not adequate as
a soldier to convey to you what a soldier feels. I
cannot, however, allow the opportunity to pass with-
out adverting to another individual connected with
the sister service, who nobly supported me, who
nobly did his duty to his Commander-in-Chief—Sir
William Parke,—(Cheers)—a man I am happy to re-
cognise as one of my friends. On all occasions I
found him ready to support me, not only in the posi-
tion of commander of the naval force, but I found him
at my side, when duties on shore were to be under-
taken, when he nobly led on his detachment to honour
and glory. He nobly supported his country's fame,
and nobly supported the individual who now has the
honour to address you. Gentlemen, I again thank
you for the honour you have done me, and I wish it
were in my power to express all my feelings.—
(Loud cheers.) _ _

The CHAIRMAN said—l beg now to propose to you
the great national toast of the country, "The Navy
of England."—(Loud cheers.) „I believe there are few
toasts more welcome than the toast of the British
navy.—(Hear, hear.) We feel secure under its pro-
tection, and the mind reverts to those gallant deeds
which have been performed by the navy of England,
and which have thrown a lustre on the British Crown.
It is true that the navy has had of late years little oppor-
tunity of distinguishing itself, bat I am convinced
that the wooden walls of old England are as firm and
as solid as ever they were, and I feel fully assured
that if the occasion should arise it will be manned by
as brave seamen as ever manned the British fleet.—
(Cheers.) I regret to say that we are deprived this
evening of the presence of the First Lord of the
Admiralty, but we have a gallant Admiral present,
Sir Charles Malcolm, who will speak for himself—
(Hear, hear)—and I am sure be will speak for the
British navy. I beg to give you the English navy,
and I shall couple it with the name of Sir Charles
Malcolm.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir C. MALcoLla returned thanks. He thanked
the company for the handsome and gratifying man-
ner in which they had alluded to the services of the
British navy. He would say with confidence, and
he was sure they would all agree with him, that the
British navy, from everything he had seen down to
the present hour, would deserve the confidence that
the country had always reposed in it.—(Great cheer-
ing.) He would only state one circumstance to
show the spirit and high feeling that still character-
ised it. In fitting out the ships to go to the Arctic
seas to search for that great and good man Sir John
Franklin, crowds came forward and volunteered to go
upon that desperate service, for it was nothing else,
as the orders were to push in through everything,
and at all risks to gain their ends or perish in the at-
tempt.—(Loud cheers.) Men of all ranks had come
nobly forward from the highest to the lowest. One
gallant and active young officer entreated and prayed
to be allowed to go, and he regretted that his services
had not been accepted, although a good man had been
chosen. He would now, considering the place
in which he stood, and the company whom he was
addressing, say one word on their own navy. He
had the honour and the pleasure of commanding the
Indian navy for a period of ten years. It was ten
years certainly of peace ; but during that ten years
let any man look at the services rendered by the
Indian navy in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and
the Indian Ocean, and they would admit that it had
done very important service. The hydrographer of
the Admiralty would bear testimony to the surveys
they had made, and their contributions to the Geo-
graphical Society in the history and statistics of those
countries, which were until then almost unknown.—
(Cheers.) When the war broke out in China, his
Gallant Friend Sir W. Parker went there in com-
mand of the navy, and its services there were well
known to many of their honourable guests serving
under him.—(Hear, hear.) Ha need only refer to
Captain Perry and Captain Powell, who had been so
highly eulogised by Lord Dalhousie, and to Captain
Christopher, who lost his life in the trenches of
Moultan in dragging up the guns and bringing his
men into the heat of the action.—(Loud cheers.)
Air—" Rule Britannia."

The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said—l have now
the honour of proposing to you the other national
toast, which is equally acceptable to every English
man—it is, " The Duke of Wellington and the
Army."—(Great cheering.) I did expect until the
very last hour that we should have been honoured by
the presence of the illustrious Duke, but unavoidable
circumstances have prevented him. I should have
regretted his Grace's absence still more if I had not,
on a late occasion, in the presence of the united ser-
vice of England, heard from the lips of his Grace the
highest encomiums upon the glorious services of Lord
Gough.—(Great applause.) The achievements of the
British army under its illustrious chief have filled the
pages of our history, and our noble and distinguished
guest has demonstrated to us, that in the most dis-
tant lands the British army 14. maintains its former
renown.—(Loud cheers.) We are honoured this
evening by the presence of a most illustrious mem-
ber of that army, General Sir Frederick Adam, and
in proposing the health of the Duke of Wellington
and the army, I shall couple with it the name of Sir
Frederick Adam.—(Cheers.)
Sir FREDERICK ADAM said he felt highly honoured,
although it was owing to an accidental circumstance,
that he was called upon to return thanks for the
army. It was somewhat unfortunate for him that he
stood there instead of the great and illustrious man
whose name had been mentioned, as he was very in-
competent and unfit to impress the company with the
services of the British army. He was delighted with
having recently had the honour of forming an ac-
quaintance with Lord Gough, whose career in early
life be had well watched, and whose later deeds he
concurred with every person in thinking covered him
with imperishable renown.—(Cheers.)

itrhs at t evening
the sa-
tisfaction
Minister
of the
Crown and his colleagues. They had come to do
honour to his noble and gallant friend Lord Gough,
and he begged to express his humble thanks to the
Noble Lord for his goodness in attending there that
evening. When he considered the arduous duties of
those distinguished men—when he considered the
overwhelming responsibility of the First Minister of
the Crown of England—of free but troublesome Eng-
land—(Hear, hear)—when he saw them devoting
their utmost attention in the Cabinet and in the
Senate to the discharge of their great and important
duties, they must feel, upon occa>ions of that kind,
that they were indebted to them for their zeal and
the manner in which they so consistently and ear-
nestly discharged their duties.—(Cheers.) Tne pre-
sent was neither the time nor the place to express
any opinion on political subjects.—(Hear, hear.) But
he did know, that whereas a neighbouring dynasty
had fallen—whereas every kingdom of Europe bad
been shaken to its foundation —whereas in their
own country demagogues and evil and deceitful men
had done their utmost to disturb its tranquillity, the
measures of her Majesty's Government had secured
to it peace and growing prosperity.—(Hear, hear.)
He begged leave to propose to them the " Health of
Lord John Russell and ber Majesty's Ministers.')
Lord Joux RUSSELL rose and said—My Lords and
gentlemen, I rise in my own name and that of my
colleagues, to return you my best thanks for the
honour you have done us in drinking our healths on
this occasion. You, Sir, have rightly said that this
is not the occasion to entertain politicall questions,

and I will say at once that our object in coaling
hither was to pay our tribute of homage, and respect,
and admiration to the Okla servict-s of Lord
Gough.—(Great cheering.) It has been my fortune
during a part of the glorious career of Lord Gough
to have been a❑ adviser of the Crown, and I have
witnessed with admiration the courage, the constancy,
and the perseverance which has enabled him to over-
come difficulties of no ordinary characte3r.—(Hear,
hear.) And, gentlemen, you will permit me to say,
as a lover of peace and its fruits, that I consider that,
the necessity fur war having once occurred, the man
who conducts the army to victory, who crowns the
arms of his country with success, and who obliges the
enemy to ask fur terms, is the man who is the true
friend of peace.—(Cheer.) No man would willingly,
if he has a right conscience and a good understand-
ing, encounter those miseries of mankind which at-
tend upon war; and I have had occasion in this room,
when I have been the guest of the Etst India Com-
pany, to express my admiration of the forbearance
shown by my Noble Friend (Lord Hardinge) who
now sits on my right hand—(Loud cheers)—in not
encountering the evils of war until they were abso-
lutely forced upon him by the necessities of his posi-
tion.—(Hear, hear.) But I say that, when the ne-
cessity bas once been incurred, the man who crowns
the arms of his country with brilliant victories, and
thus brings those evils to a speedy termination, is the
true lover of peace—(Cheers)--and in him we ought
to honour not merely the successful warrior; but the
man by whose means the deserted village has been re.
peopled, the man by whom the abandoned province
has been restored, the man by whom the desolated
country again wears the smiling aspect of industry
and peace.—(Cheers.) It has been the fortune of
Lord Gough, during a considerable number of years,
to carry on the service of his country in wars of the
most remarkable character. He has been engaged in
war against the Chinese empire. He has lately added
to our Indian territories the dominion of the Pun- 1

_ sub.—(Hear, hear.) With these wars his name will
be associated to all posterity; and, let me add, as the
Gallant Admiral has alluded, in the speech he made
to-night, to the Arctic expedition, that we see con-
stantly before us, year after year, as the occasions
arise, whether in the midst of burning climes, or
whether in the vicinity of the Pole, whatever may be
the nature of the difficulty, that the courage of En-
glishmen carries them through those difficulties,
and claims the admiration of their country in all
time.—(Great cheering.)
The CIiAIHMAN then rose, and said be wished to
propose to them the " Health of the Right Honour-
able the President of the India Board, Sir John
Cam Mobhouse," of whose presence, he grieved to
say, they were disappointed that evening ; and he
lamented it the more on account of the cause that
occasioned his absence. Thrice had Sir John Hob-
house been called to the councils of his Sovereign as
Minister for India, and in the most momentous period
in the history of that country. If the people of India
had progressed in civilization, if wisdom had prevailed
in her councils, and if victory had crowned her arms,
then Sir John Hobhouse, the President of the India
Board, and those who had assisted him, were entitled
to all praise.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ELLIOT, Secretary to the India Board, re-
turned thanks on behalf of Sir J. Hobhouse, who, he
regretted to say, had been compelled to be absent
from indisposition.
The CumestAx then gave " The health of the
Marquis of Westminster and the House of Lords."
Whether they considered its high dignity, or the im-
portant:station it held in the institutions of the country,
or whether they considered the talent it contained,
and, above all, when they considered its patriotism,
they must all admit that it was an assembly that never
had its equal in any age or country.—(Cheers.) The
House of Lords was the strong tower and the citadel
upon which depended the liberties of England—
(Cheers)—and in doing honour to that august as-
sembly it was a high satisfaction to name in connec-
tion with it a nobleman who held so distinguished a
position in it as the Marquis of Westminster.
The Marquis of NVESTMINSTER returned thanks.
The House of Lords had always shown its readiness to
sacrifice its olvt feelings to the good of the country
and upon the shrine of public utility. Upon all •oc-
casions it bad been desirous of uniting itself with the
feelings and wishes of the people of England, and on
no occasion had it united more with those feelings and
wishes than when it recorded its unanimous vote of
thanks to the Noble Lord and his gallant army.—
(Loud cheers.) They bad recorded that vote, as had
been stated by the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell),
not from any love of war or desire of bloodshed, but
because they were anxious to pass their days in tran-
quillity and their nights in peace, because they were
anxious not to see the invaders' sword gleim through
their sacred isle; but, owing to that protection which
was cast around them by the gallantry of the soldiers
of that country and of India, they were reaping a
glorious harvest of victory at the time, and of lasting
peace hereafter, that would prove of the most
substantial benefit to the general interests of
the country.—(Loud cheers.) The country looked
not only with admiration on the gallant conduct
of these men, and the glorious victories they had
achieved, but it looked also with admiration at the
unanimity and good feeling of the two Noble Lords
whom they had now the happiness of seeing present,
showing to the world how friendship united would
prove of value not only to the individuals themselves,
but to the armies which they commanded, showing
also an example to the world of friendship, and of
that love of country and of glory which united these
two noblemen—(Loud cheers.) Ile had ventured to
make these remarks, not because he was the first in
rank, except from the position which he happened
now to have the hononr of holding— (Hear, hear)—
and he must say it was an honour, notwithstanding
the remarks that had been made respecting him, be-
cause he was persuaded there was nut one then pre-
tent who would not be ready to do his utmost for the
service of her Majesty and to maintain the dignity
and the honour of the Crown, and to harmonize with
all the civil establishments of the country. Whatever
a man's position might be, or whatever grade in
society he might belong to, it was his duty, and in-
cumbent upon him, if called upon, to do all that he
could to promote these objects—(hear, hear.) In the
name of the House of Lords and his own he again
returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that the next
toast he had to propose was, " Tue health of the
Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel and the House of Com-
mons."—(Loud cheering.) It had always been a
principle with the East India Company, while they
cherished an ardent attachment to the Crown and to
the constitution of their country, to keep aloof from
political party and political influences. It was thus,
he was persuaded, they had maintained their inde-
pendence—it was thus that, f‘ee from political
bias, they were enabled to bestow the utmost atten-
.

tion on the high and important duties which they
were called on to perform—it was thus they were
enabled, with feelings of the deepest gratitude, to ac-
knowledge the eminent services of distinguished
statesmen, whatever their political opinion might be—
it was thus that he at that moment, while rendering
his humble thanks to her Majesty's present Ministry,
brought forward the names of that great, that illus-
trious statesman, whom he had already mentioned—
(Loud cheers.) It was not for him (the chairman)
to express any political sentiments, but he firmly be-
lieved that the Administration that preceeded th pre-
sent, and the present which succeeded the last, were
equally and alike influenced by the highest and
noblest considerations for the honour and interests of
the country.—(Cheers.)

Sir R. PEEL—My Lords and gentlemen, I am ex-
tremely grateful to you for the compliment you have
paid me—a compliment not the less welcome, because
nothing could have been more unexpected, being
generally reserved for those filling the highest offices
of the State ; or, as on occasions of this kind, imme-
diately, connected with the East India Company. It
has been my good fortune, at no very remote period,
to be connected with the East India Company, by
official relations of a confidential character, during
a critical period of Indian history ; and
must say, recollecting the intercourse I have had with
the director, and the opportunities I have had of
witnessing the skill and
officers employed in its service, as well as the fidelity
and zeal, and singular ability of the civil servants
mind an im-
pression of the military
the company—they have left on my
terminationpct
threesesteem

nee-
that with them.—(Cheers.) I catinot be indifferent
at'ci
ofe
to the events of th,s day. I cannot witness vbitliout
will
satisfaction this tribute of public esteem and grati-
tudelperuegss ion
survive of
which has been paid to the services of Lurd
Gough. It has been my good fortune, ou many
occasions, either to propose or to concur in
public testimonies of respect which have been
offered to him by the House of Commons ; and
I must say, that at no period of his career did
I despair of ultimate success.—(Loud and prolonged
cheering.) I had a just confidence in his early vic-
tories, in his indomitable valour, in his known skill,
constancy, and perseverance; and I felt that what-
ever might be the temporary difficulties with which
he was embarrassed, they would be overcome by the
skill and valour of himself and his glorious compa-
nions in arms, and by the constancy, resolution, and
discipline of the army which he commanded.—
(Chew.) So much, my Lords And gentlemen, for the
