A grand ball and supper have recently been given,
in the Corporation Hall of Londonderry, in honour of
Lady SALE. We congratulate the townspeople of
that renowned city on the credit they have done
themselves by this homage to our heroic country-
woman. We congratulate those individuals among
the men of Derry, with whom the necessary arrange.
ments rested, on the good tact and judgment they
have displayed, in taking care to mark their compli-
ment as specially destined for her ladyship. To her
gallant and excellent husband they had already
evinced their cordial respect, by that sensible, Eng-
lish-like, intelligible, expressive form of greeting—a
public dinner, at which he was THE guest—the re-
spected, and reverenced, and greeted of all present
at it. To Lady SALE the homage of a ball, glitter-
ing with all the adornments which the vicinity of the
city, and the whole county of Derry, indeed, cou:d
furnish of distinguished station, of beauty, rank, and
fashion, of civil eminence or aristocratic connexion—
was a snore appropriat3 and graceful tribute of atten-
tion. It was susceptible of enhancement by, perhaps,
one only concomitant, and this the people of Derry
did not fail to attach to their invitation—for her noble
husband, at once the partner of her fortunes and her
liberator from a fearful captivity, was, as he would
have desired to be, amidst the rapine and desolation
of Cabul, the captivity of Jellalabad, and the multi-
plied perils of the Khoord-Cabul pass—at her side.
All honour, we cry, with our Irish compatriots, to
the self-devoting, the calm and collected, the intrepid,
and yet gentle, Englishwoman, whose exalted sympa-
thies with her ill-starred fellow sufferers—whose
strong and unclouded mind, and wavering energy—
whose quiet resignation to the will of PROVIDENCE,
combined with the generous solicitude of her activ€
humanity on behalfof friends, kinsmen, and followers,
sore wounded and faint with agony, or fast perishing
beneath the destructive fire of ambushed enemies, or
the yet more relentless snows and frosts of the savage
and cloud-capt crags through which they urged this
terrible retreat—all honour to her, whose magnani-
mity, and fortitude, and resolution, shed a halo
of glory, and of triumph, even upon that ap-
palling spectacle of disorganisation, discomfiture,
and disgrace, from which our mutilated army had to
force its desperate way. This great, this memorable
event cheered the desponding, way-worn, bleeding
soldier, whose first breath had been drawn beneath
the temperate skies of her own well-remembered and
happy home, in that far distant land to which she
must have felt in secret that there was little chance
or none that either of them ever should return. In
vain she staunched the gaping wounds of the be-
loved husband of her beloved daughter. With each
new call of duty, in that long and hideous pilgrimage
through defiles rife with human carnage and military
ruin—the gallant STURT, heedless of his sufferings,
reckless of his own life in the anxiety to provide
for the protection of others, flaw to the
points where the Khoord robbers or the
Afghan soldiery had rushed in upon our broken
columns in the greatest numbers, and with the
fiercest fury, till the death which he had so inces-
santly defied relieved him, sword in hand, from the
protracted anguish of his honourable wounds. But
neither bereavements of this inexpressible mag-
nitude, nor her own suffering—for the musketry of
the mountaineers had not respected even herperson—
could withdraw Lady SALE from the sacred task of
consoling, reanimating, exhorting, attending, reliev-
ing the miserable and multiplied victims of the mut-
derous treachery and fanatical resentment which pur-
sued, and buns upon, and decimated the retreating
force on every side. The undaunted sepoy—first
and boldest of our native subjects and allies—after
exhibiting in Cabul, among the howling defiles of the
Khybar Pass, before Jellalabad, or on the plains of the
Punjaub, an emulous heroism which had recorded him
to all posterity in the same rank of military valour and
conduct with his European teachers and leaders, and
had extinguished the old distinction of respective pre-
sidencies, in estimating sepoy service, by one common
course of sustained and daring achievements in the

have been the means of inflicting on the com-
munity by disseminating principles of false taste,
and encouraging the most absurd, ruinous
extravagance! Look, for instance, at the
memorable " Regency of GEORGE the FOURTH?'
Throughout that showy and artificial period, expense
and finery of attire were carried to the greatest height
nature and simplicity were studiously kept in the
back ground ; dress—balls—dinners—and tawdry
ceremonials of all sorts were the order of the day ; and
the " First Gentleman in Europe" was never so much
•in his element as when busied with the con-
coction of some new wasteful extravagance, such as
his notorious Regency file, when, among other idic
follies, gold and silver fishes were seen disporting in
tiny streams of water that meandered through the
supper tables! These puerilities would have been
harmless, however ridiculous, enough, if they had
been confined exclusively to the Prince. But, unfor-
tunately, the folly became contagious ; the rich cour-
tiers adopted the example of their Royal Master;
the middle classes—always so prone to imi-
tate their aristocratic superiors—followed in
the same track, and the consequence was, tLe
ruin of hundreds, we almost say thousands, mid tie
general dissemination of the falsest principles of taste
and feeling. But the evil did not stop here. Royalty,
of course, must be furnished with the means cf
pampering its ostentatious love of show, and the result
was, that John Bull was saddled with a load of taxa-
tion, heavy enough to break the back of Atlas, whicl',
Mr. CANNING coolly observed, was merely " maintain-
ing the decent splendour of the Court." Infinitely to
her credit, her MAJESTY has set her face against this
order of things. She does not allow the splendour of
her State to degenerate into mere ostentatious frip-
pery, and knows how to be munificent without
being extravagant. Above all, she is endeavouring
to restore in her Court, and generally among her sub-
jects, a taste for nature and simplicity—two things
which have much more to do with the moral tone of
a nation than superficial people would imagine ? Her
" plain straw bonnet," and Prince ALBERT'S " plain
black coat and white waistcoat" may shock the vulgar
prejudices of those who would always desire to see
Royalty dressed out in holiday costume, as we see it
in Ricuaßnsox's show-booth at Greenwich fair; but
all persons of judgment, feeling, and real, not spu-
rious, notions of refinement, will rejoice to see their
young SOVEREIGN desirous to be distinguished among
her subjects, not by her external finery, but by her
innate good taste, and her nice and healthful
appreciation of nature and simplicity. To the
credit of the Scotch, be it said, their notions on
this subject are fur more sound than those of our
evening Contemporary's provincial correspondents,
for we learn by the last accounts from Blair Athol,
that "the simple and graceful affability with which
the QUEEN dispenses with the stately trammels and
ceremonies of a Court, have excited the liveliest en-
thusiasm among her Highland sup jects; her tranquil
and modest seclusion, in fact, has produced an im-
mense effect on the Scottish people generally, and
her popularity has increased tenfold since her resi•
dente at Blair Athol,"

field ;—this sepoy blessed with his dying breath the
fair English hand which ministered to his last wants
(who had been reared beneath the burning sun of
Southern or of Western India), among the eternal
snows and icy winds of the mountain ranges of Central
Asia. The touching accents and the commanding
devotion of this heroism Inspired the most exhausted
soldiers with renewed energy, the faint-hearted with ir-
resistible confidence. Her impressive example confirmed
the still resolute, upheld the wavering; and a gene-
rous shame at the contemplation of so much intrepidity
in a woman, the partner of their dangers, the companion
of their flight, the witness of their Efforts, the partici-
pator of their sufferings, soon resulted in the infusion
of an enthusiastic and salutary assurance of speedy
succour and success into the hearts and councils
of all around her. The events which justified these
anticipations restored her to the arms of her gallant
husband and her surviving comrades, for it is her proud
privilege to be authorised thus to speak of the valiant
wreck of an Anglo-British army, to the victorious
protection of their countrymen. Honour to this illus-
trious lady, let us once more exclaim. But are the
citizens of Derry to be alone in this great work ?
Is the National gratitude, is the National chivalry,
at so low an ebb that its tide cannot greet with some
tributary offering so noble an object for its honours ?
Arc the fountains from whence, by an axiotn—(shall
it, indeed, be said by a " fiction")—of the Constitu-
tion, all graces and honours to the subject are sup-
posed to be derived, to be closed or dried up at her
approach, whose contact with them can possibly im-
part more ennobling virtue to, than it can receive from,
them ? Or is it, in this age of political prudery, in
these days of cant about official precedent and the
custom of departments, that neither royal condescension
nor ministerial recommendation, nor the public will,
can be moved to confer some lasting memorial of an
empire's respect for transcendent conduct and ex-
emplary virtues, because where it would have been
conceded as matter of course to any man, who had
manifested, in even a less degree, the same qualifica-
tions under less extraordinary exigencies, it is
thought to be decorous to withhold it from a woman,
who has evinced these merits, who has established
these pretensions in their highest possible extent and
degree, under emergencies of the most unexampled
hazard and difficulty ? It is time for courts and
cabinets to remember that Lady SALE must not be
forgotten.

the amount of the budget ; to calm the just mistrust of
all powers who regulate their effective force by ours,
and to restrain the arrogance of England ; to give in
this manner a new pledge for the consolidation of peace,
which has no stronger partisan than ourselves, not ex-
cepting the Minister and the advocates of peace at any
price."
