PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE 72n
HIGHLANDERS, BY THE DUKE OF WELLING-
TON.

This morning, the weather appearing so very unfavpurable
for an out-door military display, the arrangements which had
been made connected with the presentation of new colours to
the 72d Highlanders in the Quadrangle at the castle were
countermatded ; but the rain subsiding shortly after twelve
o'clock, orders were sent to the barracks for the regiment to
parade in review order in the Quadrangle, at half-past twelve
o'clock. Shortly afterwards the regiment moved from the
barracks to the castle, passing into the Quadrangle through
St. George's Gateway. Here the regiment formed line, ex-
tending across the whole length of the square, the grenadiers
being wheeled up on their left, and the light company and
No. 1 wheeled up on the right, there not being sufficient space
for the regiment in line.
A few minutes after their formation, notice was given of
the approach of Field Marshal his' Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, who was received with a general salute, the fine band
of the regiment, at the same time, playing " See the Con-
queriwr' Hero comes." Almost immediately afterwards his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, with his illustrious guests and
relatives, the King of Prussia, Prince Frederick of Saxe
Coburg, &c., with their respective suites, made their appear-
ance, and were received with a royal salute, the old colours
being loWered to royalty for the last time.
The majors of the regiment then went forward and took
possession of the new colours. The ceremony of their con-
secration was afterwards performed, by the desire of the
Queen, by his Grace the Archbishop of York-Kwho was on
a visit to her Majesty), in a most solemn and emphatic
manner.

The Duke of Wellington, in presenting the colours, spoke
as follows :—I have great pleasure this day in presenting new
colours to the regiment of the 72d Highlanders, by the com-
mand of her most gracicius Majesty. It is now 50 yeats
since I served with this regiment in India, when it greatly
distinguished itself for the eminent services it rendered to
the country. The regiment has since also greatly distin-
guished itself in the conquest, of several valuable colonies.
The men have maintained their character in war; and now
we are at peace, I am happy to find that you still maintain
your character; for I have made it my business to make in-
quiry, and I have found that you stand as high in the esti-
mation of your fellow-citizens in your present as in your for-
mer quarters. I will take this opportunity of impressing
upon the minds of the officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates, that much depends upon your conduct as
moral men, for you have an imperative duty to perform
to the community at large, which must on no account be
neglected. Officers must also bear in mind that the effi-
ciency of troops depends mainly upon their discipline and
moral conduct. lam most proud to be' able, on this day, to
present new colours to the 72d, or Duke of Albany's High-
landers, a regiment which I am gratified to be' able to show
'to his Majesty of Prussia—the King, the ruler of a vast na-
tion, whose armies have acted in concert with our own, and
to whose combined success, in conjunction with other troops,
the present happiness of Europe is in great part to be attri-
buted. lam also gratified in showing this regiment before
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and in presence of your
Sovereign, who now looks down upon you (her Majesty was
stationed at one of the windows in St. George's Hall). If
any other motive were necessary to make
you faithful and
true to your colours, you will not fail to remember that they
have been sanctified by religion, through the means of almost
'the highest dignitary and most respected prelate ofyu
church. It now only remains for me to say, that resolution,
vigilance, and attention are necessary on all hands,
oso and I am
happy this day, to witness their efforts, which
mani-
fest in the discipline of the regiment nnowbeforearar e.—Times
of yesterday.
