SR-n these days Of war and boodshed II 10 refresh
ipg to read such resolutions The which follows
extracted from the proceedings OF meeting Of the
Montgomery Guards, whose late visit TO Quebec was
deeply felt, both in hearts and in purses:--
Resolved, That hereby offer bess thanks
respectively TO Lieut. A. Cocke and the officers Of tt
10Th Regiment Of the line for their kind invitation to
ton. Also 70 the Fire Company No. o. belonging to
diamond t Harsor for their escort during our march
Now sir there always some snarleyows inclined to
find fault, and have heard objections made TO few Of
the very many resolutions Of the Mongomeries These
critics, for instance that among such lot OF
lutons the No. Company might have had one to them
selves without being jumbled up with the 10th Reg,
which neither might Ike. Gaut Is also found with the
resolutions thanking Montreal and Quebec because the
citizens of Montreal thanked for their enthusiastic
reception and wereguated good nature" while Ia
Quebec, who paid fl00 more have resolution long
err informing that thc reception and enthusiasm OF
the citizens Of Quebec have merted unslterable esteem
But every thing can't be done to please everybody il
the st. Patrcks Society and its friends satisfied
ought to try and be 50 too though may perhaps be
allowed hope that the next visit won't quite
much and that the officers Of the 10th will favor the
Quebec Gazette with account of the dinner they
gave The Guards, with all the toasts and speeches.

Is the case Either the Montgomery Guards have been
egregously hoaxed the invitation to dine at the Ca
