his command.—(Loud cheers.) My Noble Friend has
adverted most honourably to the assistance he received
from another Noble Friend of mine at this table during
the time ho was Governor-General of that country
which is under the control of the East India Company.
—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, the united service are
sensible of the services of Lord Hardinge, and they
must now be sensible of the honourable conduct of the
Commander-in-Chief in giving him credit for that as-
sistance which, both as Governor-General and in his
military capacity, he gave to his operations.—(Cheers.)
We have seen that, throughout the services carried on
under the direction of my Noble Friend Lord Gough, he
has himself afforded the brightest example of the
highest qualities of the British soldier in the attainment
of the glorious successes which have attended the
British army under his command.—(Loud cheers.)
Gentlemen, having now had the honour of receiving
Lord Gough in our own hall, and giving him the hand-
somest reception in our power, I am sure you will all
join with me in hoping that he may long live to enjoy
the favour of a gracious Sovereign, the cffectionate re-
gard of his fellow-subjects in general, and of the mem-
bers of this club especiilly, for his grew- and noble ser-
vices in the'cause of his country. The Noble Duke was
enthusiastically cheered on resuming his seat.
The CHAIRMAN next gave "The First Lord of the
Admiralty," who he regretted to say was absent
through illness. He would therefore call upon them to
drink to the better health of the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty.
The toast having been duly responded to,
The CHAIRMAN gave" The Master-General of the
Ordnance," the most Hon. the Marquis of Anglesey, who
held the proud position of head of the scientific depart-
ment of the army, and was besides, the guardian of its
warlike treasures.—(Hear, hear.) He spoke of him only
as a soldier—were he to refer to him in any other ca-
pacity, he might have much more to say; but as a sol-
dier, he would remind them, that although the Gallant
Marquis left a leg at Waterloo, he brought home his
honours thick upon him.—(Cheers.)
The Marquis of ANGLESEY, in returning thanks,
expressed his great gratification at being present on
that occasion to offer a tribute of respect and
admiration to the services of their noble and
gallant guest, and at the same time to express his
pleasure at seeing at the table another noble and
gallant friend of his, who had fought by Lord Gough's
side in India.—(Cheers.) That nobleman, after having
attained the highest situation to which any subject could
aspire, with exemplary modesty had thrown aside his rank
and offered his services to their gallant friend Lord
Gough.—(Cheers.) With such a happy union of excel-
lent judgment on the one part, and determined gallantry
on the ether, a series of successful and brilliant cam-
paigns had taken place. which had ended in the attain-
ment of an honourable peace.—(Hear, hear.) Thus
ended the first scene of the drama, and the Governor-
General, in his political, military, and civil capacity, re-
ceived those honours which he so eminently deserved.
Then commenced the second act of the drama, and here
our gallant and distinguished friend and guest, being
thrown upon his own resources, and backed and sup-
ported only by the gallant army under his command,
surmounted every difficulty, and accomplished success-
fully a campaign which—l speak advisedly—is one of
the most memorable on record.—(Cheers.) The Noble
Marquis in conclusion said, he could not help expressing
the pleasure he felt at their having been honoured with
the presence of their great Commander-in-Chief, who
was thus enabled to testify to the glory of his two illus-
trious pupils, who had won imperishable fame in a
country which had become classical by their deeds—
the soil of which had been the cradle of their great cap-
tain's glory.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The East India Com-
pany," coupling with the toast the names of Sir A.
Galloway and Mr. Shepherd, the chairman and deputy
chairman of the Court of Directors.
Sir A. GALLOWAY, in acknowledging the toast, paid
a well-merited coreplim2nt to Lord Gough, who, he said,
had been a faithful servant of the East India Company,
and in the command of the noble army of India had
added instil) to British arms and a kingdom to the
British Crown.
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Yeomanry of Eng-
land," coupling with the toast the name of the Earl de
Grey, a munificent patron of the United Service Club,
and the originator of the Yorkshire Hussars.
The toast having been drunk with great enthusiasm,
was responded to in a most eloquent speech by the Noble

Earl. -
The CHAIRMAN then gave, as the last toast of the
evening, the " Health of Lord Viscount Hardinge,"
prefacing his remarks with an apology for not having
before introduced the name of the Noble and Gallant

General.
The toast was very warmly responded to, and ac-
knowledged by Lord Hardinge in an admirable speech,
after which the Chairman rose, and the company imme-
diately separated.
The banquet was furnished under the superintendence
of Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern.
