THE MASSACRE AT JEDDAH. The Moniteur publishes the subjoined account of the recent massacre at Jeddah from the pen of M. Emerat, the dragoman and Chancellor of the French Consulate, whose gallant behaviour hasiearned him the cross of the Legion of Honour : "ALEXANDRIA, JULY 9. " Monsieur le Ministre,—On the evening o f the 15th of June the town of Jeddah was the theatre of terrible scenes of slaughter ; 23 victims were murdered by an infuriated populace, and among them, I am grieved to say, are the Consuls of France and of England and Madame Eveillard. Having escaped, by the mercy of Providence, the blows of the assassins, I lose no time in giving your Excellency the details of this sanguinary drama. "For some time a revival of fanaticism was visi ble at Jeddah, but no one suspected that go fearful a deed was contemplated aaainst the Christians who Dave inhabited that city for many years. Never theless, the plan was"secretly hatched. A pretext was found to put it into execution. " Oue Abiallah JJher had to give an necoun' to the British Consulate of the employment of the property of two Indian orphans of whom he was guar di an . He asked to be placed under Turkish protection, and to change the flag of a vessel of which he was the owner. Namik Pasha consented, and ordered the Turkish flag to be hoisted, and that of England to be hauled down. This was done amid the exultation of the fanatics. " The English Consular agent was absent at the time. On his return, having protested in vain to Namik Pasha, he invoked, according to custom, a Consular tribunal, which decided that the Turkish flag should be hauled down. "Consequently, on the 15th of June, a detach ment of marines from the Cyclops, which was in the roads, seized upon the Indian vessel, hauled down the Ottoman colours, and hoisted the English flag. The news of this event created great excite ment in Jeddah. It was declared to be an insult against the dignity of Islamism. But this was only a pretext ; the real object of the agitators was to take advantaga of the circumstance to murder the Christians, whose presence, in their eyes, defiled the sacred soil of the Hedjaz, and to seize upon their property. " About six o'clock in the evening, when the population were aware that the boat's crew had returned on board the frigate, and that no help could be given the Christian residents, a mob of fanatics attacked the English Consulate. On their approach the Cawasses took to their heels. Mr. Page, surprised in his bed, and unable to defend himself, was wounded seriously, and was then pitched from his balcony and cut to pieces at the foot of the flagstaff ; his dragoman and clerk shared his fate. The house was pillaged. A considerable sum of money must have been found in Mr. Page's strong boi, as he was a merchant as well as Vice- Consul. " Cries of 'Death to the Christians !' now arose on all sides, and the mob, thirsting for more blood, hastened towards the French Consulate. _ ._ "At about half-past 6 M. Eveillard and myself were just returning from our usual evening stroll. We had scarcely - entered the drawing-room, where the Consul's - wife and daughter were sitting, when the Consulate was surrounded. " The Cawass closed the door, and kept on'side to repel the attack. The Cawass Ahmet alone offered resistance, was wounded in his head, and thrown back into the street, where he remained for some time insensible. " As soon as the Consulate was attacked I went clown stairs to defend the entrance by the staircase. Supported only by my servant, an Al,gerine, Hadji Mehemet, formerly a soldier in the native Rifles, whose devotion on this occasion was most praise worthy, I wa&ware that it would ba impossible to make a long resistance ; but my object was to gain time, in hope that a detachment of troops might be sent to our aid. My only weapon was a cane with a hammer to it, and Idadji-Mehemet had a club. With the courage of despair we attacked the as sailant 3, who faced us in bodies of never less than 30 or 40. After knocking clown the foremost we were obliged to dodge behind the stairs to avoid the shots fired at us. A hand-to-hand struggle ensued, and three times the assassins reached the first story and were driven back. At this moment cries of the Kaimakan is coming were raised, and the mob fur a moment remained quiet in the court below. "I did not think that any one of the assailants had reached the second story. I went up to make sure. I found Madame Eveillard lying dead on the floor, the Consul wounded, and his young and cou rageous daughter wounded in the cheek by a sabre cut received while defending her father. The second story had been reached by the balcony of a neigh bouring house, and having cut down the Consul, his wife, and daughter, the assassins retreated. " Onleaving the saloon I heard Hadji Mehemet crying out, 'The flag is attacked ; let us defend it !' I ran up the ladder, but was hurled down. Hadji Mehemet then ran up it, and succeeded in throw ing down two of the assailants. We could net as certain whether they were killed or not. "This unequal struggle bad now lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, and we expected to succumb every moment. A man armed with a dagger came forward and asked me if the Kaimakan had arrived. I thought he was a Cawass in authority, when I heard Mdlle. Eveillard cry out, 7tke care ! that man is going to stab you I' I rushed upon him to disarm him, but I received at the same moment a gash across my left hand from a sabre, a blow which broke the thumb of my left hand, and a dagger-stab through my arm I khould nsvitably have fallen without the assistance of Mdlle. Eveillard, who dis played the most extraordinary courage and pre sence of mind. I finally succeeded in disarming my assailant, and killed him. "Seeing that the Kaimakan did not cow, the assassins, whom we had thrice repulsed, made an other bold attempt to get up the stairs, urged on by the yells of some 50 women who accompanied them. I stood on the lowe,t step, armed with my dagger. I ran through and killed the first man that advanced, and I stabbed two or three others. At this moment the Kaimakan arrived, followed by two Cawass, and informed me that Col. Hassan, who commanded the artillery, had refused to come to our aid, under the pretext that he had no orders, and could only receive them from the Governor- General. "The Kaimakan and myself had only the two Cawass and my servant to support us ; it was be coming impossible to hold out much longer. I there fore requested that official to endeavour to calm the mob ; but it only made them the more violent We want to have the Consul and his Chancellor,' they shouted ; hand them over to us that we may put them to deaih ; if you don't we will kill you!' The Kaimakan began to falter, and was only pre vented from complying by my threats. The mob continued to swell ; the attacks of the assailants became more fierce ; the Kaimakan was knocked down by a blow from a club. While I was picking him up I received a sabre cut and a blow from a club on the head, which stunned me, and I fell. The assassins the n rus h e d i n t o t h e saloon and put M. Eveillard, already wounded, to death. "My faithful Algerine had never left my side, watching his moment either to carry off my body, if I was killed, or to take me to some place of safety, if only wounded. At the moment I received the last two wounds the servants of the Kaimakan were carrying off their master. Hadji Mehemet raised me up, concealed my face under the Kai makan's robes, and we were taken to the house of the Colonel, who had refused us his aid. I was immediately sent to the military hospital, where I did not recover my senses till after I had been there above a quarter of an hour, aad where I re ceived every attention. _ _ " At the moment M. Eveillard was I , eing mur der' d and his house pillaged, the wife of a military official called Mehemet Effendi, to whom some days previously Madame and Mademoiselle Eveillard had shown great kindness, sent one of her slaves to save them. Ma4rmoi.rielle Eveillard was carried off by the slave to the house of his mistress, and thence to the Kaimakan's harem, where she re ceived every attention. I must also return my thanks for the care taken of mysylf at the Artillery Hospital. "-The commander of the Cyclops, at anchor in the roadstead, could not be awa e of what was going on in the town. On the morrow, informed of what had taken place by some Greeks who had sought refuge on board, he sent boats on shore to inquire. As the boats approached the populace assembled on each side of the channel, attacked the boats, to pre vent the crews landing ;the commander, who Wag in on e boat, perceiving the impossibility of landing, ordered the boats to return to Ihe ship. The ci ew fired a volley, and killed two men, woundin g o th ers. On his return on board the Cyclops, Capt. Pullen wrote to the K -king news of th e C . , ns ~ rls, airnakan and offering his services to put down th e mo b . The Governor r eplied that the force he h a d a t J eddah was not sufficient to allow him to take the off-n -sive, that he bad despatched a courier that v er y evening, and that lie hoped Narvik Pasha would (a speedily arrive: He also informed Captai n P ullen ullc ) n of the safety of Mdlle. Eveillard and m y sel f. . me b the morrow Capt. Pullen wrote to me, "Tr not to indicate the mean s of saving us. e think he could attempt a landing. I begged him to wait the Pasha's art ival. "On the 16th the Governor ordered the bodies of the victim s to be interred, and great was the astonishment of the Arabs at not finding me among the dead . A b o d y of them waited on the Cadi to infdrm him I was alive and that it was I who bad lined the two Unanimous 'whose bodies were pond in the Consulate. Sentence of death was pronounced against Lae, and every true believer was called upon to disclose my hiding-place that I might be put to death. For some days crowds assembled in front of the artillery hospital asking whether I had found refuge there ; but they were misled by the statement that I had found shelter on board the English frigate on the evening of the massacre. " We remained thus five days in suspense when, on the night of the 19th, the Pasha arrived from Mecca with a detachment of Chasseurs, and Namik Pasha took up his quarters at a barrack outside the town. On the next morning the Governor- General sent his son-in-law to make inquiries after me and asked me to visit him. I complied. Namik Pasha promised me to do everything in his power to inflict upon the assassins the chastisement which they deserved, and he told me he was ready to give me such satisfaction as I might require. I replied that all that remained for me to do was to proceed and render a statement of the facts to the Govern ment of the Emperor. On leaving Jeddah I wrote in that sense to Namik Pasha. "Before I arrived at the Governor-General's Capt. Pullen had written to him to demand that the Christians who had escaped the massacre should be given up to him. Namik Pasha requested an interview. Capt. Pullen proceeded to the palace, where I was also present. After the interview Mdlle. Eveillard, her servant, and myself embarked on board the boats of the friga' e, and the Christians who had escaped the massacre on board a native boat, under the command of the captain of the port. " Captain Pullen wrote the same day to the Governor-General, demanding that the boats of the Cyclops should be allowed to come to the land ing stairs with armed crews, that the flags of France and England should be saluted by the artillery of the forts, that the flags should then be carried through the streets under an armed escort from the frigate, and that a procession should then go to the cemetery to read the burial service and pay military honours to the victims. The ceremony took place the following day. " Such are, M. le Ministre, the facts of this hor rible drama, in which a furious population was enabled, while the authorities remained passive spectators, to give vent to excesses of the most odious fanaticism. THE EARZ OF EGLINTON AT GALWAY. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. The bail net given to his Excellency at the City of the Tribes' hal done infinite honour to its pro jectors. Nothing was wanting to render it success ful. Nearly 400 persons were present, and the ar rangements and decorations of the banqueting hall are described as deserving of the highest praise. The speeches,. which are reported at great length in this morning's . Saunders, were practical and busi nesslike, and what is rather unusual at such demon strations in Roland, nothing occurred to disturb the unanimity of sentiment that prevailed. If the banquet was a success, however, there was a hitch in another part of the programme laid down for his Excellency's entertainment. Yesterday he was to have made an excursion to the Isles of Arran in one of Mr. Lever's spleudil vessels called the Prince Albert ' • but, as she did not arrive at Galway early enough for this purpose, his Excellency judi ciously 'declined marring ithe trip in the Vesper, the only steamer available, on the ground that she was not adapted for a pleasure party in a rough sea. Taking advantage of the splre time en :1.3 11.4nds, therefore his Excellency drove through th e t own , and, as a memento of his visit, named a new street after himself. Subsequently his Excellency in spected the Queen's College and reviewed the Gal way Militia, commanded by the Marquis of Clan ricarde. In the evening, the county ball came off, and there was also a grand display of fireworks. To return to the banquet. After the usual loyal toasts,were given and drunk with great enthusiasm, the High Sheriff of Galway, who was in the chair, proposed his Excellency's health in a neat speech, when The Earl of EGLINTON, on rising to return thanks, was warmly cheered. He then said—Mr. High She riff, my lords and gentlemen, it is at all times diffi cult to return thanks for such an honour as you have paid me, and an honour paid in such a manner, but it is especially difficult to do so when I have on this occasion to return you thanks not only for the kind, and, I must say, the more than kind manner in which you have received my health, but to you, and the ;ugh you to all classes of the community of Galway, for the manner in which I was received in your city to-day. And if there is anything which ' could make such an honour more gratifying to me than another, it would be that my health was coupled with the sentiment with which I am happy to say the Lord Lieutenant's health is always coupled—namely, prosperity to Ireland—(loud cheers)—a sentiment in which I not only concur, but I will venture to say is not warmer in the heart of any Irishman than in mine. (Enthusiastic cheers.) It is with feelings of the most unfeigned satisfaction that I find myselfonce more in Galway —(cheers)—and I think that every member of the deputation who did me the honour to meet me at Athlone the other day will bear me out in saying that I showed no hesitation inaccepting their kind. invitation. (Hear, hear.) But how could I hesi tate in acceptingsuch an invitation, when I remem ber the kindness, the confidence, the courtesy with which I was treated when I was last among you, such a reception as I believe no man was ever the object of before ? (Applause.) I well remember when I came to Galway I was received with the respect clue to me as the representative of my Sovereign, and with that court -sy which comas so na'urally, and, I may also say, so gracefully from Irishmen; but I felt that respect was paid to the office and not to the man. (Loud cries of "No, no," and "To both.") Pardon me, gentlemen ; I felt that I was not then known by you. I came here with every good intention and wish to further the prosperity of Galway. I determined to do my duty to Galway, as I would by every other part of Ire land—(loud cheers)—but when I came I felt, like you, that we were s'rangers ; but I am happy to say, it was not long before we became acquainted with each other. The respect thawed into some thing which I must call very like friendship—the courtesy ripened into cordiality ; and I can assure you, in all sincerity, that the recollection which remained in my mind of my visit to Galway was the brightest retrospect which I had of my short tenure of office in Ireland. (Loud ap plause.) The retrospect appeared almost like a dream ; but the dream has become a reality. (Loud cheers.) The city, with its ancient traditions —your wide and noble bay, with the waves of the Atlantic flowing in on eitl.er side of the wild Islands of Arran—the distant mountains of Connemara— Lough Corrib, whose surface I first disturbed with steam—(loud and prolonged cheering)—l mean the canal into Lough Corrib—the representatives of the ancient tribes and the lovely daughters of the west —are again all before me, not only a dream but a bright reality. (Great cheering.) But, gentlemen, there is a change. When I was here before I was shown your bay—l was told what a magnificent harbour it would make—l was shown that there was nothing between it and the great continent of America. I was perfectly aware of its advantages but there was no Levier—(loud cheering)—tbere was, I say, no Lever on which to found the struc ture. (Cheer=.) My friend, Father Daly-,-(re peated cheering)—discoursed to me, as he always does, most energetically and most eloquently on the advantages of Galway, and pointed out that it was the true highway to America. (Cheers.) If eloquent words and a good will could have effected that object between us a Leviathan, at least, would have sprung up to plough the waters between Ire land and the New World. Consistency and deter mination have at length prevailed, and I do rejoice to say that not only have you one steamer, but I , trust another and another shall succeed ; not only have you sent one pioneer to take possession of the highroad, but I trust another ship wilt soon be on its way in her wake. (Loud applause.) Ido take, 1 will not say credit, but I rejoice to say that I, perhaps, have been a little instrumental in obtain ing the assistance of the Post-office in this under taking ; and I can assure you that I did not allow one day to pass after the subject was brought before me until I r commended that assistance to be given by my noble friend the Postmaster-Genera]. (Hear.) My noble friend on my left, Lord Clanricarde, has already occupied that post—(loud cheers)—and I rather think he will allow that these sort of changes are not easily made—that changes in the Post-office do not emanate from it quite so quickly as the let ters themselves. However, my noble friend, the Postmaster-General, as I have no doubt toy noble friend on my left would have equally done, at once acquiesced in my views. (Hear.) There is a change else, as your chairman has told you, in theprospects of the country. lam happy to say that I can assure you I did not conceive it possible when I came to Ireland that I could have found that such extraor dinary improvement could have taken place gene rally over the face of the country as I have found since my arrival. (Hear.) Agriculture has flourished. —crime has decreased in the most wonderful man ner—and I do hope and trust that differences have diminished. (Cheers.) Ido not think that I could point to a greater instance of that, or to a happier prognostication of future peace and tranquility, 1 than by turning my eye to the right of this table and seeing my fiiend. Archdeacon Goold and my friend Father Daly sitting side by side. (Loud chi era.) Th© chairman has alluded to some advice which I took the liberty of giving you when I was last in this place, advice which you took in the same spirit of kindness in which it was offered ; but I feel now that it is perfectly unnecessary for me to offer you any advice or to read you any lecture on any given subjec'. (Applause.) I believe there is no part of her Majesty's dominions more peaceable and tranquil than this part of Ireland, and if these changes have occurred define the six years that have elapsed since m y last visit,'' if Galway has pro gressed with the rest of Ireland in that general prosperity which has been diffused over it, let us take a still wider retrospect, and look to the changes that have taken place during a longer period. There can be no doubt, from the position of Galway, from the interesting remains of build ings which still adorn some of her streets—(hea,r, hear)—if we did not know a'so from history, there can be no doubt that Galway had a very thriving trade with Spain and France in olden Var.s ; wad Jo far, I have no doubt, perhaps, was more pros perous in proportion than she is now. But with all their prosperity—if prosperity there was—her citizens looked in vain for that peace and tran quility of which I have just spoken. (Hear, heir.) They were in perpetual fear of the attacks of their warlike neighbours ; even from th e ances tors of many of those I see here joining with us a t this festive board, and drinking prosperity to city to whose pillage their forefathers contributed. (Laughter and cheers) I think it is about 300 years ago that a predecessor of mine—a former Sidney, visited Galway.

(Ceeers.) Well, Sir Henry Sidney to led here on horseback over moor and mountain, armed to the teeth, with a guard of martial retainers— his journey from the metropolis of Ireland occupy ing more than a week. Your present viceroy comes to you on the peaceful errand of inaugura ting a great triumph over the ocean. (Cheers.) He comes here seated in the most luxurious ease in a carriage propelled by a power and :it a velocity formerly undreamt of—the railway officials for his guards, friendly and confiding citizens for his re tinue—h.s journey occupying three hours. (Loud cheers.) I read that rather before the time to which I have alluded that Campion tells us " Gal way was a proper neat city on the seaside." But rtbeut the time of Sir Henry Sidney it had za4lier " In concluding this report I must ask your Excellency's permission to recommend to tLe notice of the Emperor's Government the two faithful servants, Mehemet and Achmet, who, at the risk of their lives, gave proof of so much courageous devotion. " I am, e(7C, , " EMERAT." ETON COLLEGE ELECTION. SATURDAY, JULY 24. According to annual custom the Rev. the Provost of King's Collage, Cambridge, accompanied by his posers (the Rev. Dr. Williams and Mr. H. J. Sim mends), arrived in state at Eton College at two o'clock on Friday last, and was received in the Lower School by the Vice-Provost, fellow, masters, and assistant masters. After having viewed the scholarf' rooms they proceeded through the quadrangle to the en'rance of the cloi:ters beneath the clock-tower, where the Provost of Eton was in waiting to receive them, and where the customary Latin speech is delivered by a King's scholar, which on this occasion was admirably spoken by Moziey, ma., K.S. _ The arrival of the Provost of King's is a signal for the commencement of the hospitalities provided for by the pious founder, and which, it is but jus tice to say, are administered by the college autho rities of the present day to a most liberal extent. The various entertainments will extend over the great part of the present week. On Saturday morning the Duke of Malakhoff and suite arrived at the Provost's lodge, where a sumptuous breakfast was provided for his Excel lency and a distinguished circle of about 40 who had the honour of being invited to meet him, among whom were the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Granville, Cul. and Mrs. Howard Vyse, of Stoke, Lady Young, Mrs. M ang l es , L or d Stratford de Redcliffe, Miss Thackeray, the Pro vost of King's, the Misses Oakes, Dr. Rowland Williams, the Rev. S. F. Marshall, Col. Cadogan, the Rev. Stephen Hawtrey, Miss Hannah Hawtrey, the Rev. H. J. Ellison, vicar of Windsor, &c. At noon the company assembled in the Upper School to hear the speeches, and, as the Duke of Malakhoff proceeded thither from the Provost's lodge, as well as on his arrival, he was heartily cheered by the studen's. The usual portion of the school was appropriated to the visitors, and displayed a brilliant assemblage of ladies. In front of this assemblage the Duke of Malakhoff took his seat, wearing the Order of the Bath, the Legion of Honour, and several other decorations. fl is Excellency sat with Lord Gran ville and the Bishop of Oxford on his right, and the Provost of Eton and King's on his left, when the speeches commenced. So admirably were all the speeches delivered that it is almost with reluctance we mention the follow ing as having most distinguished themselves—viz., Powell, Mozley, ma., Dyne, Young, Luxmore, and Wood, ma., all of whom were loudly applauded. The Duke of Malakhoff appeared highly delighted with the selection from Moli re. At thr,e o'clock the company, with the King's scholars, assem bled in the College °hall, where they partook of the customary entertainment ; the college graces, ante and post pranditcrn, being chanted with fine effect by the 70 King's scholars, also as sisted by the choir of Eton College Chapel and the Chapel Royal of St. George, Young, K. S., per forming the duty of leader. After dinner and after the loving cup had been passed round, the c3ropany adjourned to the Elec tion-hall, where they partook of an elegant dessert, and drank the usual loyal and collegiate t ,asts, among which were " The Immortal Memory of the pious Founder," " The Heatth of the French Ambassador," which was acknowledged by his ex cellency, who expressed in French the great satis faction with which he hail visited the colle•oze. The following also addressed the meeting :—The Be!- gian Minister, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the Bishop of Winchester, Mr. Justice Halliburton, the Adjutant General, Archdeacon Abrahams, &c. At 7 o'clock, the company having assembled in the Brccss, the boats were manned by their re spective crews, and after pulling to Windsor-bridge they left for Surley-hall, in the following order : The eight selected to row the Westminster—the same crew which rowed against Radley at Henley on the 26,h of last June ; Mr. C. H. Hall, Mr. F. B. Van de Weyer, Mr. D. Ricardo, Mr. C. Wynne, Mr. E. W. Hussey, the Hon. F. Trench, Mr. Ff. Collings, the Hon. V. F. Lawless ; coxswain, Mr. E. M. Smith.

Coxswain a lieutenant. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1858. F subsided ; and Stannyhurat says, in the language of the period that it was "much decayed." I trust that the historian of the present day will have a very different tale to tell. I trust he will write of Galway as a rising commercial city, brought within a few hours of the metropolis by the mighty agency of steam—connected by canals and basins with the magnificent lakes of the inte rior, having established a great and lasting inter courae with the great Transatlantic Republic. (Tremendous applause.) In those old times, long before the great discovery of Columbus, your ancestors always fancied there was some distant land in the west, which they had to look to with hope. As the Pottuguese gazed over the sea, and year after year expected the return of their lost Sebastian—as the Welsh looked for their royal Medce—so your ancestors fancied that there was a land in the west, which contained the shades of their kinsmen. In fable and in mist, per haps aided by some tradition, of which we have now no record, they fancied that they saw from time to time this western land that they called Hybrisil, ram sure there are few of von who do nit Au Clio usie t., o,aurnure, by Moore, the following lines : " Oh ! when the western wave grew bright With daylight's parting wing; They sought that Eden in its light Which dreaming poets sing." (Cheers.) The Spaniards found the real Hybrisil. The Seventh Henry of England followed in their wake. Hundreds of thousands of your countrymen are now colonising it, and the ocean that separates you from it is now regularly crossed with marvel lous velocity, and with an almost entire safety. (Cheers) As the Governor of Ireland I must be impartial—(applause)--and therefore, even in this place, I will not venture to offer an opinion upon the relative merits as a packet station of Galway, of Valentia, and of Foynes. (Hear.) But still, I think, without any deroga'ion to:my impartiality, I have a right to say that Galway has made a step in advance—has taken possession of the great high way of the Atlantic, and I so far (and 1. think I have a right to do so) throw impartiality for the moment to the winds, and wish Galway success with all my heart. (Loud and enthusiastic cheer ing.) Let Valentia rej ice in the gigantic effort which, though as yet uneuccessful, must in the end and I trust almost immediately, succeed ; but let Galway succeed in her enterprise, which will bring prosperity to hers-if and reflect great benefit on the rest of the country. Your ancestors looked hope lessly and in vain far the Hybrisil, hub you have certainty of the land, and you know the facilities of its approach. (Hear.) It has been my happy lot on two occasions to come here at an auspicious mo ment. On my first visit I had the pleasure of open ing the canal, which I am proud to know bears my name. On this occasion I have come, I trust, to help to inaugurete a great enterprise which will make Galway wh , t s 1 a has never been before, and I ear nestly hope that if my good fortune should ever again in after years bring me to Galway, I shall see that enterprise fully estab!ished—your fair bay fi led with ships and with merchandise, and your city prospering as she is entitled to do by her posi tion and natural advantages. (His Excellency resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted ap 'flame.) The " Army and Navy," coupled with the name of Lord Gough, was next proposed. Lord GOUGH rose amidst applause to address the assembly. He said—May it please your Excel lency, my lords and gentlemen, as a soldier, on the part of my profession, I thank you from heart. (Cheers.) Thirty-two yearsago Ilwas last inGal way, and I shall never forget the period that I have spent amongst you. (Applause.) I am proud —very proud indeed—that that residence has not been entirely forgotten. (Renewed applause.) A soldier has many privations to undergo, and solemnly I ask you what must be the privations of those separated from their friend -t, separated from that sex which now adorns this assembly—(applause)—separated from all that is fair, from all that is beautiful ? But, gen tlemen, the feeling of kindness so naturally mani fested by the people of this country for the soldier's exertions animates him in the time of battle, bears him up in his many privations, and makes him serve his honoured Queen and his hon oured country with that degree of devotion which has called forth your favOurable opinion this day towards my profession. (Loud cheers.) Permit me to assure you that few circumstances since I have been amongst you afford greater gratification than to come among you this day as a resident landlord of the county of Galway. (Cheers) I anticipated the manifestation of respect, esteem, gratitude, and affection to the individual who has so honoured us with his company this day—(ap pliuse)—who has come amongst us to inculcate a great, a beneficial lesson, not only to Galway, but to our country at large—(cheers)—and from my heart I wish success and prosperity to that great undertaking. (The gallant general was honoured throughout with loud applause and other manifesta tions of approval.) After his Excellency had proposed the health of the chairman, the same honour s was paid to Mr. Lever, the announcement of whose name elicited considerable cheering. • Mr. LEVER acknowledged the compliment in a long speech. He said that it was a patent fact to the world that to make a pack,t station the high way to America they should improve and in every shape develop the resources not only of this country but of England, Scotland, Wales, and of the prin cipal portions of Europe. (Cheers.) Previous to his last steamship sailing he proceeded from London to Liverpool for the purpose of having an interview wi, h the principal of the Cunard company. He went with money in his pocket—(near, hear) —for the purpose of purchasing the fastest steam-ship he could get, and the first qaestioa he put to Mr. C. M . Keever was, would he sell his Arabia ?—the fastest steam- s hip o f the day. (Cheers.) The ques t tion was not one of price with him, but Mr. M`Keever told him that he could not part with his steam-ship for money, especially the Arabia. He was then deterinin d that he should have the next best ship, and to his surprise he found that a still better ship than the Arabia. (Cheers.) He begged to say that having been engaged for many years in navigation and the purchase of steam-rs, he could judge of a fast sailing vessel, and the Prince Albert, now on her way to that port, was sL:cond to none in the world. (Applause.) H av i ng gone i nto Isitnaetisotficpsarekelettts:ntgo St. to the project, and Boston, Mr. Lever and announced a concluded amidst warm applause by thanking the assembly fur the support afforded to the under taking. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in reply to the toast, " The House of Lords," said—They were not wealthy capitalists in Galway. Their laud, how ever fettle, had not got those mineral products which in themselves were a source of great wealth, and which gave facilities for the encouragement of manufacturing industry. But at least let them show that they were men of business as well as Mr. Lever —whose elcquent speech expressed what it meant and meant business—that they could appreciate the natural position which they had, and that when men who had capital were ready to associate together, and to come to that coast t o ava il them selves of the fie:lilies that it afforded for a great undertaking of national and European benefit— (hear, hear) —t bey we.e ready to join with them as far as their means and resources would allow, and that they would afford them every encourage ment which it was iu theirpower to give. (Cheers.) Mr. JOHN ENNIS, M.P., in replying to a local toast, said he s aw years ago that nature had made Galway a point of departure fur tr insatlantic en terprise, and he acted accordingly. He always felt that that problem would one day or other have to be solved, which he thought they were now on the eve of seeing solved advantageously for Gal way. But there were certain things to be done in order to make Galway calcul sted for the reception of steamers of large sire. Let not application be made to Parliament for a shilling until the fact was ascertained that the passage from Or , east to t c ,u d :c in a auoi ter period from Galway than from any other port in Great Britain. The fact once ascertained, the mails must come by that line as a matter of course. Public authority would demand it from any government and from every Government. Then let the pea of Galway be so arranged with regard to particular requirements, extension of piers, &c., that nothing would be wanting fur the sustainment of a large fleet of steamers. He was satisfied that they had the key of this matter iu their own bands, and they world be very much to blame if they allowed any other city to take it out of their hands. After several other speeches the company separated. His Excellency returned to Dublin by special train to-day. The following addresses were presented to his Excellency shortly after his arrival in Galway : The High Sheriff of thu county real the follow ing address : "TO lIIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. griil " May ate it plels 3 y our E x cellency,—We the in hahl'ants o f th e county of Gl.tivvay, desire to con in this her Maj of sty , u E in xc i c r ll e e l i a l i c i y d , , as o n t h y e ourarti representative c,a l Own. ‘Ve beg to assure your Excellency of our devotion, sl.y. loyalty an d a tt ac h me nt to hergracious _ " Tike occasion on which your Excellency has acceded to the invitation to visit this Western port 's one of peculiar interest to all classes in this cDunty. it i s , as we con fid en tl y trust, to inaugu ra e a permanent system of communication between this town and America—an enterprise that, if estab lished 911 a satisfactory basis, cannot fail to ba of the most material advantage to the country ; and we therefore hail. your Excellency's presence as a proof of the interest taken by her Majesty's Government in an enterprise of such acknowledged utility. " The impression left by your Excellency on the occasion of your former visit induces us to entertain the most sanguine expectations that your Excel lency will recommend such measures as are in your judgment best calculated to promote this object. We may also assure your Excellency that t':e few words of this address very inadequately convey the feeling of pleasure and hearty welcome with which we hail for the second time your arrival in our county." To which his Excellency replied in suitable terms. The following address from the town of Galway was then read by the High Sheriff : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF EULINTON, LORD LIEUTENANT GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVER NOR OF IRELAND. " We, the i❑habitants of the town and county of the town of Galway, hasten to express to your Ex cellency our grateful acknowlerigments f r t'.o which your Excellency acceded to our request that you would honour our ' An cient Citie' with your presence on this interesting occasion. We are sensible of the ardent desire of your Excellency for the prosperity of the country which our gracious Sovereign has committed to your government ; and we have a lively recollection of the warm interest which you exhibited in our local improvements when inaugurating a work which now bears your Excellency's name, The Egtinton " The object of that work was to connect the great lake which approaches our town with our noble bay, and, by facilitating the inland naviga tion, to develope the resources of the country. "On the present occasion we have invited your Excellency to honour us with your presence, when we have assembled to celebrate a work destined, we trust, to fulfil the promise which nature seemed to have made us—by eitahlishing this great western port of the British Islands as the point of commu nication with the American continent. " We trust that the hopes of many years and the wishes of our ci+izens are about to he realised, and convinced of your Excellency's sincere sympa thy with us on the present occasion, by the w trm interest you have already shown in its success, we heartily welcome you to the town of G Away. " JOHN WILSON LYNCH, High Sheriff, Town of Galway. " Galway, July 22, 1858." In reply his Excellency s'sid— " Gentlemen,—l am glad to find that you are satisfied with the promptness with which I accepted your invitation to come to Galway on this interest ing occasion, but I can claim no credit for it, be cause in so doing I bestowed the highest gratifica ton on myself. The two days which I spent in this city on my former visit will never be effaced from my recollection, and nature itself seems to vie with the citizens in giving me a bright and cordial welcome. " I rejoice to find that the same kind and hearty greeting is a2ain proffered to me by you, and if anything could add to the sympathy with which I regard this great enterprise, and the interest I take in the fulfilment of your long-oherished hopes, it would be the more than kind rEception which I have now met from all classes of your fellow citizens," The Rev. Peter Daly then read the address from the Town Commissioners : " Td HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF EGLINTON, LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. - "May it please your Excellency,—We, the cor poration of town commissioners of Galway, approach your Excellency with sentiments of affectionate re spect, to offer our warmest welcome on your arrival am angst us on this auspicious occasion, fraught with promise of great benefit to our town in par ticular, and to Ireland generally, as well as sugges tive of more extended benefits in relation to the commerce and intercourse of these realms with the civilised world. "The agreeable impressions which, on another interesting occasion, your Excellency's condescen sion left on every heart in this &ty, induced us to hope that your enlightened mind would foster and encourage the efforts now being made to create a new outlet for the commerce and traffic of Ireland, and open a new route for thelinterchange of opinions and friendly relations with millions of her own chil dren in the Western World ; and this hope you have converted into reality by the unhesitating con descension with which your Excellency comes amongst us to inaugurate a project which will open to our people a fair opportunity of developing those resources with which our country abounds. " Our ancient city, once the emporium of com merce with France and Spain, without either wish ing to compete with any other more fortunate loca lity in the race of commerce or to create any rivalry to the legitimate industry of other portions of the empire, simply desires to place at the disposal of enterprising men the undoubted advantages with which nature has surrounded our magnificent bay, as the most convenient high-road for intercourse between these countries and the Western regions, where millions of Irishmen sigh for quick .)r and slrer means of constant and uninterrupted associa tion with their friends in Ireland ; and we must re gard with gratitudeand pride the countenance which your Excellency's presence gives to the great enter prise that promises them those legitimate resnits. "PETER DALY, P.P. and V. G., Chairman." To which the following reply was returned by his Excellency : _ _ " Gentlemen,—lt affords mo the highest gratifi cation to receive this welcome from those who are the authorised rep•esentativea of this city and its inhabitants at the first moment of my arrival ; and T can assure you with all sincerity that the cordial feelings which you expr •ss towards me are recipro cal. I have always retained the most lively reool leciion of the kindness which I met with from you during my former visit ; and though I perhaps hoped that our meeting on that occasion was not entirely forgotten by you, I could hardly anticipate such a fl tttering reception as that which I am now greeted with. I came then to inaugurate a magni ficent internal canal, which must tend greatly to increase the trade not only of your city but of the district to which it leads. I now come to rejoice with you over the establishment of a project which brings you in direct communication with the great translantic republic, and bids fair to opt n to you a career of great and rapidly increasing commercial prosperity, and such as your ancestors could not dream of, and the most sanguine amongst you could scarcely a sh 4 rt time since have hoped for. It will give me sincere pleasure if my presence in any way assists in furthering this great enterprise, and I yield to none of you in my earnest hope that it may meet with that complete success which it so well merits."
