Mr.. Traiu. on entering tie Debating
Hall on the 22d ult, for the first time,

the me for discussion. The audience was
so we'll pleased with the rsttling digest OF
the late American vi, tories, and his for
lner able Efforts. that they rose by accla
malioD, and there and then elected him an
honorary member of the Ancient Society

Below, we give Mr.. Trains remarks
on the American Army on this occasion.
We should judge by the opening portion
Of this speech that Mr.. Train evidently
thinks the advice OF Sam Slick, that the
