On Friday evening a dinner was given to Sir
Henry Pottinger in the Town Hall, Manchester,
which was attended by a great concourse of people,
including not only the leading manufacturers of the

After the usual loyal toasts the MAYOR gave
" The Army and Navy," in proposing which, he said,
no Englishman could hear this toast without its
bringing to his recollection from the time of Cressy to
the crowning victory of Waterloo.—(Applause.) If
we had reason to be proud of these actions, we had no
less reason to be proud of those officers who had pro•
duced those glorious actions which had ended in that
celebrated treaty which our illustrious guest, Sir
Henry Pottinger, had concluded. He confessed, when
he saw in the public prints that the officers attached
to that expedition, and leading it, had ventured to at-
tack an empire which numbered among its military
forces 1,800,000 combatants, and that only with a
force which at no period exceeded 9,000 men of all
arms, land only 24 ships of war, two of which only
were line-ofbattle ships, he thought we should all
agree that never at any period was the honour of the
British arms more brilliantly sustained. He had
never felt any sort of apprehension as to any attacks
upon us. He knew the stamina of Englishmen ; and,
if ever the time should arrive, and he hoped it was far
distant, that we might place the most implicit reliance
