DINNER BY THE EAST INDIA
COMPANY.

dna this important trust.—( Cheers) I say nothing of his
nilitary qualifications ; they-are mown to the public, and lam
convinced that the Court. of Directors could not have made
Acme of any individual better calculated to perform all the
services that can be required from a Commander. in-chief.—
Loud cheers.) I have not had the same opportunities of being
acquainted with the other Gallant Officer, appointed Governor
of the Presidency of Bombay, but I know him well by reputa-
tion. I know that he has been employed heretofore in the .ser-
vice of the late King, and lately in that of her Majesty in
North America; and I know that, in both situations, he gave
:ati,faction to those who employed him. I think, there-
'ore. the East India Company have every reason to feel
confidence that he will execute the trust reposed in him with
honour to himself and advantage to the country. (The Noble
Duke sat down amidst loud cheers.)
The CFIA IRMA N next proposed the health of the President of
the Board of Control.

Wednesday the Directors of the East. Ind a Company gave it
• sumptuous entertainment at the London Tavern to the Marquis
of Tweeddale and Sir George Arthur, on occasion of their ap-
pointment to the Governorship of the Presidencies of Madras
And Bombay ; Sir James Lushington in the Chair.
The tables were decorated with a profusion of gold and silver
plate: The dinner, wine, and desert were of the most recherche
character. and did unspeakable credit to the taste and re-
sources of Messrs. Bathe and. Breach, the proprietors of that
magnificent establishment,
The Chairman was supported on the right by the Marquis of
Tweeddale, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Lincoln, Earl
Delawarr, Earl Dalhousie, Lord Stanley, Lord Eliot, Sir R.
Peel, Mr. Astell, the Right Hon. Sir G. Murray, the Right
Hon. Sir J. Graham, the Right Hon. S. R. I.ushington, the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Attorney- Cieneral, and the
Solicitor-General; on the 'left by Sir G. Arthur, the Deputy-
Chairman, the Lord Mayor, the Duke of Buceleuch, the Mar-
quis of Douro, the Earl of Haddington, the-Earl of Glare, Mr-
Wigram, Lord Bloomfield, Lord Fitzgerald, Lord Abinger,
Lord Seaton, Chief Justice Tindal, Sir H. Hardinge, Sir E.
Knatchbull, the Right Hon. J. Nicholl, &c. Amongst the
other company (about 140) were Lord Gifford, Lord W. Hay.
Lord A.:Hay, Vice-Chancellor Bruce, the Hon. Captain West,
the Hon. W. B. Baring, the Hon. W. eraser, Sir H. Lushing-
ton, Sir R. Jenkins, -Sir J.-Macdonald, Sir D. Baird, Sir T.
Wiltshire, Sir 'l'. .Fremantle; Sir R. Comyn, Sir It. H. Inglis,
Sir W. Cotton, Sir J. Doveton,' Sir E. Ryan, Mr. Mills, air.
Tucker, Mr. Lyall, and bar. Muspratt.
The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal toasts—
" Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," " The Queen
Dowager," " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert the
Prince of Wales, arid the rest of the Royal Family," were drunk
with all the honours.
The CHAIRMAN then rose arid said, he had a-toast to pro-
pose which he was fore the whole company would drink with
the most cordial good-will—he meant the health of the Most
Noble the Marquis of Tweeddale, Governor of Madras, and
Commander-in-Chief of the Indian army. The Directors of
the East India Company had the fullest confidence, in nond-
nating that distinguished individual to so important a situation,
that he would perform the arduous duties it entailed upon him
in a manner not only creditable to himself, but most satisfactory
to the Court and the country 'at large.--(Cheers.) The
firmness and decision of character, the sound judgment, the
good sense, and the habits of business which they knew him
to possess in so eminent a degree, assured the Court of Di-
rectors that ho would administer his government most advan-
tageously to the public service.-1-(Cheers.) The Gallant
Marquis, as a soldier, had performed, services under the eye
of his most distinguished Commander, whom he was happy to
see present upon that occasion, which afforded indisputable
eviden.e of his capacity to fill the high and impertant situatfon
to which he was called, and at the same time most amply justi-
fied his appointment as Commander-in-Chief. He begged,
therefore, without further Preface, to propose to them, " The
health of the Most Noble the Marquis of Tweeddale, and suc-
cess to his gosernment in the Presidency of Madras."
The Marquis of TWEEDPALE said, he felt it a proud dis-
tinction indeed to have his name, mentioned in so kind a man-
ner by the Chairman or such an assembly ; but. it was more
peculiarly gratifying to hear upon such an occasion from the
Chairman of the East India Coinpany that so humble an indi-
vidual as himself, appointedto so important a trust, possessed
his confidence and that of the Board. He begged most sin-
cerely to return the Directors his best thanks for the honour
which they had conferred on him by placing him in so
proud a position. He had no services connected with India
to offer as a security for the course he should pursue during
the time he might remain as Governor of Madras, but he
could assure them they would always find in him a wiling
servant, if not an efficient co-operator, for neither labour,
time, nor trouble should be considered valuable, except as
affording him an opportunity of doing everything he could to
carry out their views, with a due consideration of the circum-
stances in which Le might find himself.—( Cheers.) The
Chairman had been good enough 'to say, that he had re-
ceived the recommendation. of the Duke of Wellington as a
tit person to discharge the military duties of the Presidency.
That was a compliment which undoubtedly he must ever highly
appreciate, for no one in this world was more capable to judge
of another's efficiency than the Duke of Wellington.—(Loud
cheers.), He would only further say, that in assuming the
command of that army, in connexion with which the illus-
trious Duke's name was first made known to the world, Ire
trusted he had gained under him that knowledge which would
enable him to preserve its discipline, while his care should al-
ways be to do nothing that might in the least sully the honour
of that distinguished service.—( Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, observed, that
it rarely fell to the lot of one in his position to propose the
health of two Governors and. one Commander-in-chief upon
the same occasion. However, it was with great satisfaction
that he now submitted to them the health of Sir George
Arthur, the Governor of Bombay.—( Cheers. )
Sir G. ARTHUR briefly returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The health of Lord Had-
dineton and the Navy."—( Loud cheers. )
'the Earl of HADDINGTON returned thanks for the tribute
of respect winch they had just paid to that great brauch of the
public service.
The CHAIRMAN next gave "The health: of Lord Hill and
the Army."—( Loud cheers. )
Sir G. NIL:RI:AY said it was a most unexpected honour to
be called on to return thanks for the last toast. He felt in•
deed that it was almost improper for any one to rise for such a
purpose in the presence of that illustrious man to whom alone
belonged the honour to speak in behalf of the British army._,
( Loud cheers.) The Noble Duke to whom he referred could
speak not only in the name of the army of the Crown, but
also in the name of that gallant army in the service of the.
East India Company, who were companions of his earliest
victories, and who would be the.well-deserving sharers of his
immortal renown to the latest posterity.—( Loud cheers.) It
was peculiarly gratifying .to him to offer his acknowledg-
ments on the part of the army, not only for the toast which
had been drunk, but for a still higher compliment which
had been paid to that service by the Directors of the East
India Company in choosing from its ranks two distinguished
brother officers of his for -situations of the highest trust
in the Eastern empire.—(Cheers.) They had been selected,
as the Chairman had stated, because, from a knowledge of their
charaeters, and the experience they possessed, the Directors
were convinced that they could not send out more efficient help •
mates to the Governor-General than the two officers to whom
he alluded. Sir G. Arthur had filled important public situa-
tions in the eastern and western hemispheres with equal suc-
cess, and he had no douht the career he was about to commence
in India would be alike brilliant and satisfactory.—( Cheers.)
For many years he had been linked to his "Noble and
Gallant Friend on the right of the chair by the most inti-
mate and warm feelings of friendship.—(Cheers.) He
had seen him rising from the situation of a subaltern officer in
anaa the ts Sir J. Moore's regiment, and afterwards he had
S
narrowly watched his conduct while under his own direction in
the Peninsula, where he uniformly found that every duty
which could be required of him was discharged with the ut-
most ability, assiduity, perseverance, and courage—( Cheers)—
and he was quite satisfied that his duties in the East would be
performed in a similar manner.—(Cheers.) He would only
add, that he believed there was not an officer or soldier in the
British army who, if the country could spare him, would not
be happy in the present state of affairs to dedicate his services
to the East India Company in that important part of the Bri-
tish dominions.7—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said, he had now the honour to propose to
the company a toast which he was sure they would receive with
the utmost cordiality; it was "'The health of her Majesty's
Ministers."—(Cheers. )
Sir R. PEEL, in replying to the toast, spoke as follows :
On my own behalf, and that of my colleagues in the Govern-
ment of the Queen, I beg leave to return you our sincere ac-
knowledgments for the very flattering manner in which you
have received the proposal of our health. We are grateful
to the Directors of the Eas India Company for the oppor-
tunity they have afforded us of meeting them on this occa-
sion, when two distinuguished'officers are about to leave this
country for the purpose of discharging important func-
tions in the administration of Indian affairs. Those officers
owe their appointment by the East India Company, and
their confirmation by the Crown, singly and exclusively
to the confidence which is placed in their qualifications
for the great public trust reposed 'in them—(Cheers)—
and we feel assured that they will, by their coyduct, fully
justify that confidence, while they confirm and extend that
reputation which they have justly gained by performing emi-
nent services to the Crown in every capacity, civil or military,
which they have been called upon to fill.—( Cheers. ) We are
met on an occasion of peculiar interest. It is impossible not to
wait with interest at least for the full explanation and develop-
ment of those events in India, of which, hitherto,. we have
received but partial and imperfect accounts ; but though we
cannot divest 'ourselves of feeling that deep interest, there is
no occasion for apprehension or distrust—there is no occasion
;or any other feelings but those which are most becoming to an
Englishman—the firm determination to repair any disaster we
may have met with and to overcome every difficulty with which
we may be encompassed in the administration of affairs in
India.—( Loud chests. ) When I recollect that there never
was a period when there existed a snore intimate, cordial, good
understanding between the executive authority in this country
and • the East India Company--when 1 reflect on the high
character and qualifications of the civil servants of the Com-
pany in India—when I reflect on the valour of the united
armies that are rivalling each other in the field of glory in a
friendly competition—when I recollect that this country is
still blessed with the advice and counsel of that illustrious
man who in India disrlayed that extraordinary combination of
moral arid intellectual qualities which he has evinced alike in
military and civil government during his after life—( Loud
cheers)—when I reflect on this comb.nation of advantages, so
far from seeing any occasion for despondency or alarm, 1 feel
assured that every difficulty will be overcome, and that the
trials to which we may be exposed will, being surmounted, only
lay the foundation for the increased stability and enduring sue-
cess of our Indian empire.—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said, they
were favoured with the company of an illustrious guest, whose
name was a heart-stirring word in whatever circumstances it
might be uttered. Sage in council, unconquered in the field,
known to them in India as Sir Arthur Wellesley, the strenuous
defender of their eastern empire—known in Europe as the
Duke of Wellington—(Great cheering)—its deliverer from
tyranny—under both appellations commanding universal re-
spect and admiration, his whole life, which he prayed Provi-
dence yet long to spare, having been one continued devotion to '
the service of his Sovereign and his country, he called on them
to ii.av their homage to the illustrious Duke by drinking his
Ileattl;, up-standing with three times three.•—( The toast was'
drunk with great enthusiasm. )
The Duke of WELLINGTON, who appeared in good health
and spirits, said—l beg to return you, Mr. Chairman, my
thanks for the honour you have done me in making such par-
tial mention of my name, and to this assembly for the kind
manner in which they have received my health. Having had
the honour of serving the East India Company—having lived
for some years in that country under the protection of their
government, and having witnessed the benefits conferred upon
the natives in the vast regions under their sway, it is riot sur-
prising that I should on all occasions have felt an anxiety in
respect to the choice of those individuals who are to govern the
different portions of the territory forming their mighty empire.
Upon no occasion have I been more satisfied with the Choice an- .
uounced than upon the present evening.—( Cheers.) I have
long known my Noble Friend who sits near me, and this I will
venture to say, that all his qualities, hie'temper, his fortitude,
his habits of business, his ability, and assiduity in the service
he undertakes to perform, assure me in the strongest manner
that he will give satisfaction to those who have confided to

Lord Frrzc EKA LI) returned thanks, and said it was difficult
on such an occasion as this not to allude to the important events
which had lately occurred in India, and excited the anxiety and
sempathy of every heart in this country; but his Right hon.
Friend who returned thanks as first Minister of the Crown had
anticipated what he should have ventured to offer, and power-
fully and eloquently described those sources of confidence upon
which he built a hope that the clouds which hung upon the
aspect of affairs in the East would pass away, and the reverses
of which but imperfect accounts had reached this country,
would be thoroughly repaired. He placed his reliance upon
the means, under Providence, which his Right lion. Friend
had indicated—the ability of those to whom the government of
India was confided, the large experience and eminent qualifica-
tions of the Governor-General, the zeal of the public servants
of the Company, who in the whole conduct of their political
affairs exhibited qualifications and powers unequalled in any

DINNER 10 SIR ALLEN M'NAB

Wednesday, a public entertainment was given by the Colo-
nial Society to Sir Allen Nl`Nab, in the Thatched House
Tavern; St. James's-street, as a proof of the feelings entez-
tained towards him by gentlemen connected with Canada, aft
the British public in general, in iespect to his late exertions in
the loyal cause in Upper Canada. - •
About fifty gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner, of
whiam upWards of thirty were Representatives of as many
• British colonies, and it is probable had net the entertainment
been got up at such short notice, that the company assembled
would have been still greater.
The Earl of Mountcashel took the Chair, and Dr. Rolphe,
of Canada, acted as Vice- President.
The usual loyal toasts were given from the Chair, and re-
sponded to wills the utmost enthusiasm.
The Noble CHAIRMAN then said that, in rising to propose
the next toast he experienced the most sincere gratification. it
was the health of their gallant and worthy guest " Sir Allen
M`Nab."— (Applause.) The great services he had rendered
to Canada and to these realms were matters of history. There
was one fact, however, which was not so well known, which he
would wish to refer to. When he (Sir Allen M'Nab) first en-
tered the House of Assembly, he found that that body was almost
universally disaffected towards the British Government, and
he, almost single-handed, raised his voice and made such exer-
tions in the cause of loyalty that he brought down on himself
the most grievous oppression. Indeed, he was incarcerated for
nearly the whole session. At the time of the outbreak in
Canada he (Sir Allen M'Nab) filled the high situation of
Speaker of the House of Assembly. He came forward on that
occasion, when no other man could be found to adopt so bold a
course ; he rallied round him 1,600 men, all volunteers, in a
few days, they placing in him that confideuce which his
character warranted them in doing ; anti, aided by them,
without . a single regular soldier in the province, lie boldly
went forward, and put down the rebellion himself.—( Cheers )
liut•.• be it remembered that during part of this time he was
placed in a most responsible situation. He particularly al-
luded to the case of the Caroline, in the matter of which he
ran very great risk in taking upon himself the responsibility

_and the
he
he
heard tittered around him, that in doing so—that in destroying
the Caroline—he only did his duty. He (Sir Allen M•Nab)
had done nothing more than was thus sanctioned, and he trusted
that, when the people of the United States came to a sober
state, when they reflected on the matter in a cool and delibe-
rate manner, perhaps they themselves, though somewhat of
the latest, would do justice to the conduct and the merits of
Sir Allen M'Nab.—(Loud cheers.) He begged to propose,
with all the honours, the health of Sir Allen I\l'islab, their dis-
tinguished guest. —( Loud cheering. )
Sir ALLEN APNA )1 said that he felt himself quite unable to
express in adequate terms his feelings on the present occasion.
As a Canadian, he had ever felt it to he his proudest boast that
he was a British subject. But although he was a Canadian by
birth,- he never could forget that ha was the son of a British
soldier. He had ben for many 'years is member of the local
legislature of Canada, and he could refer to every vote which
he had given, as an earnest of that. affection and that pride
which he felt for and in the British country, constitution. and
people.—( Cheers.) He did not consider the present a fitting
time for hint to enter into the polities of the country in ques-
tion, but he eould with some degree of propriety refer to seine
of the events which had occurred before the perioi of 1837
and afterwards. On the occasion of the outbreaking
of these disturbances he had great satisfaction in
uniting with his neighbours in the district of Gage.
and proceeded to Toronto, accempaeied by a deputation ef
upwards of 1,000 freeholders, with a resolution, in the
shame of an address, to his Excellency, the then Lieutenant-
Governor, assuring him that they were determined to
maintain with their services, their property, and their
lives, the connection with the parent country.• In
1837, at the period when the loyal party were in a most
fearful condition, when the Upper Province was left without a
single soldier to protect it, when thousands of armed sympa-
thisers were hovering on the frontiers, Maekenaie came frrward
with a letter in one hand, and a dagger in the other, and pro-
claimed to the people that the peri*i had arrived for throwing
off the hateful dominion of the mother country. Fortunately
the government of the country was then entrusted to a man
who, knowing the difficulties of the State, left without a single
soldier, nobly resolved to throw himself upon the ps otection of
the loyal men of Upper Canada, and he trusted that their
conduct had convinced the people of England that they
were determined, at the risk of their lives, to maintain the
connexion with this country. He would not detain them
with an account of what had occurred during the insur-
rection. It was fresh in the minds of almost all present.
But he merely wished to impress upon them that Canada was
a most important part of the British empire. Its national debt
did not, amount to more than 1/. per head, while that of the
United States amounted to 41. per head. There was a million
and a half of acres of fine land ready to be cultivated, and he
felt surprised that time tide of emigration should not have set in
there so fast as he could have hoped. The Hon. Baronet con-
cluded by proposing" The health of the Noble Chairman, Lord
AI untca.thel."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS
TIMES.—The ill effects of the Bank of England lowering
the rate of discount to 4 per cent, are now universally felt anti
acknowledged. Money is so very abundant that dealers in it
have literally no employment for it, apart from the public se-
curities and shares, which in some branches of hu,iness would
not be a fitting employment of capital. Some have supposed
that a power exists in the private dealers in money of maintain-
ing a high rate of discount, even in opposition to the Bank of
England, hut this supposition has been founded on an imperfect
survey of facts. For though it is tree that there are a large
class of borrowers, who not being of that standing to receive
assistance from the Bank of Erglatid, and being therefore ne-
cessarily thrown upon the private dealers, are obliged to agree
to such terms as they may require, still in the majority of their
transactions the private dealers are completely ruled by the Bank
rate of discount, and are obliged to discount at a lower rate
in self-defence. Beside., it is to be considered that even
if the private dealers in money were determined to
take a strong position against the Bank, and refuse to lower
their rates, every person that left them and borrowed of the
Bank would bring fresh notes into circulation, and the abund-
ance thus increased would be sure to lower the value of money
everywhere. The result of the present extraordinary state of
things is looked forward to with much curiosity. The imp s-
sibility of finding any legitimate employment of capital will
probably lead once more to a taste for speculation, and the
sudden appearance of Buenos Ayres and Peruvian Stocks at an
advanced price in the Stock Exchange a few days ago, after
• they had long ceased to be regarded as marketable securities,
may he considered as a sign of the spirit that is reviving.
There has lately been a great decrease in the circulation of
country bank notes, as coms.ared with former times, which
has been contempla'ed with some interest, though the cause
is not generally known. A solution has been offered,
which seems a plausible one, and that is, that the de-
crease is owing to the working of the present system of penny
postage. Formerly, when the conveyance of the notes to
London was attended with considerable expense, a country
banker would reserve all the notes he had received from other
country banks for perhaps a week, and would then send them
all in one parcel to his London agent. The banks making their
returns of the amount of circulation, of course included those
thus held by the other banks. Now, however, as the charge
of a single penny will at once convey a note from any part of
the country to London, the notes are sent by a country banker
to his London agent as soar as he receives them, and they find
their way back to the bank that issued them with equal rapidity,
and arc at once retired from circulation, making a great differ-
ence in the return of ontstandingnotes. As some false conclu-
sion might possibly be drawn from a decrease in the number of
outstanding notes to a decrease in the amount issued, this expla-
nation may be found useful.
The stoppage of the Leith Banking Company has been men -
tioned to-day in the City. It was a very old established con-
cern, but the business WOWS to have been dwindling away for
some years, so that it has lately been considered of very little
importance. 'l'he explanation which it is said has been given
is, that, one of the shareholders having retired from the con-
cern, took the precaution of advertising his retirement in the
newspapers, and that the depositors having taken an alarm at
this, a run on the bank commenced, and continued till it was
deemed advisable to wind up its affairs. This is the explana-
tion said to have been given by the parties at Leith, and here
it is generally believed that sufficient assets will be found to
satisfy every demand.

NAVAL BloGnArm-4f there is one elas,, of ha-

tional biographical literatnre which appeals more strongly to
tl.e feelings Of Englishmen than another, it is certainly that
which pourtrays the career of those heroes who " have made
their home upon the waters," and raised our little island to its
supremacy among nations by their noble courage, unexampled
skill, and adventurous daring. It is, therefore, with no little
gratification that we leant that a Life of the celebrated Ad-
miral Keppel, written from most authentic and interesting
sources, by his descendant, the Hon. and Rev. Thomas Keppel
(son of the Earl of Albemarle), is shortly to be added to the
lint of memoirs of our distinguished naval commanders. It will
no. doubt be found worthy of a place in every library, on the
same shelf with the Lives of Collingwood and Nelsen.
