GENERAL SIR THOMAS MAKDOUGALL BRISBANE, Bart., gave a magnificent entertainment at Morrisson’s Hotel, Dublin, on Tuesday evening, the 25th June, 1844, to the Officers of the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment, of which corps the gallant General is Colonel. Every delicacy in season, and every variety of the choicest wines were supplied in profusion. The distinguished entertainer, and his guests, were pleased to express themselves in the highest terms of the entire arrangements made by Mr. Baker for the occasion. The fine band of the regiment played during the evening some of the newest and most admired pieces of music. After the health of Her Majesty had been drunk, Sir Thomas gave the health of Colonel Airey and the Officers of the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment. In introducing the toast, the gallant General spoke nearly as follows:--Colonel Airey and Officers of the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment,--I beg most unfeignedly to assure you, that this is a most gratifying occasion to me; and I have looked forward to it with the greatest pleasure. Ever since the regiment returned from foreign service, I have been most anxious to meet with the Officers of so gallant a corps, which has distinguished itself on every occasion, and in various quarters of the globe; although I never had the good fortune to have the regiment immediately under my command, yet I have fought with it in many of the same battles. Even as far back as 1796, I fought with it at the capture of the island of St. Lucia. I also served with it in the Peninsula, and in all the battles which they proudly bear upon their colours, with the exception of Albuhera. We fought together at Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes; and I consider that the regiment ought to have had Toulouse added to the others, and I regret that the high authorities decided otherwise. But the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment occupied a most important situation during that action, of which I was an eye-witness, being the nearest division to that of Lord Hill’s; and the returns of the killed and wounded on these various occasions, amounting to nearly 1800 men, proclaim that the regiment had borne the brunt of many a severe and hard-fought battle. I assure you, gentlemen, it is a source of great gratification to me that I have been enabled to record all these gallant deeds, and more particularly that of Arroya de Molinos. In that brilliant affair the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment took the French Thirty-fourth Regiment prisoners, together with its brass drum, and Drum-Major’s Staff, &c.; and in consequence, the gallant corps to which you belong is permitted to enjoy a distinction that has fallen to the lot of no other regiment--that of wearing the white and red tufts in their caps. But this and the other heroic deeds will be imperishably recorded in the History of the Regiment, a copy of which I intend to present to every Officer, and also some copies to the library, that when any officer or
