Mr. T. E. BOGNIA in responding, Woks Is high terms

sympathy to the affliction which had befallen Mr.

gentlemen of all ranks would not pariahs of the
amusement —(hear, hear.)
Mr. MARWOOD S. YRAillan also responded to the
terse, and he said be felt sure the msgietrarry would
mite endeavour to the utmost of their power to mail-
lain the dignity of the law and the safety of the people
hear, and &relate.).
The OgATI4API then proposed the health of the
members for the counties of Dorset and Somerset, and
is doing so expressed his tegret that none of them
were present, but added he was quite sere there was
eseb a universal feeling of satisfaction at the way in
which they performed their duties, and the attention
which they paid to the interests of the mention and of
the different localities whieh they severally represented
—fbear, hear)—that they would all join in wishing
those a'entleeten the greatest happiness and a long
pcseession of their preeeut iseats—(hear, hear, and
applause).
The Cli•tall•11 said he had now to propose what was
really the toast of the evening. "The health of their
essellent Master of Hounds. Sir Richard Glyn"— (cheers,
and "Tally ho I"). He oould not mention sir Riobardre
name without his thoughts at ones turning to the
wonderfully good fortune of the county of Dorset, or at
least that part alit, in having him as the master of their
hounde--(obeers). He hardly knew whieb to dwell
upon most, the liberality with which Sir Bighead ,
serried on the hunt. the kindness he dieplayed to all
about hitn—(hear, bear)—or the consideration which
he showed to the occupying tenante of the country—
(heat, hear). Sir Richard was a near neighbour and
besot of his, and he esteemed him very highly, inde-
pendently of his geed qualities as master of the hounds, I
or the good be did to all around, and his consideration '
r everybody in all the relations of life (hear, hear.)
He was • great requisition to that part of Ins county of ,
Dorset—(ebeers)--end they would have found them-
selves in a very different position if they had bad to
look about them for a master of hounds amongst the
"chance makers of that oecupation"—(hear, hear.)
They had • gentleman who had identified himself with
the interests of the county in which he lived, and who
bad managed the bounds with a enemies wbieh few
people could have expected to do—(boar hear.) He had ,
attached himself Sc, all those amongstwhom be lived, i
both high and low, and they had a prospect of seeing
their hunt continued by bias for many years to came—
(cheer. ) He (the eleirman) was sere they would all
join with him in the wish that Sir Richard sod Lady
Glyn might long live in hapoiness and prosperity at
loweetoo, rind that be might oontiecre to have the
pleasure, which he an thoroughly enjoyed, of hunting
the surrounding enuntry—(ereat cheering.)
SIB RICHARD GLYN, on rider to respond, was
cheered in the most enthusiastic mintier. He expressed
himself much gratified by the 11,ttering way in which
the chairman had Drowsed the toast, and the hearty
manner in which the company had received it. That
was not the only occasion, too, on which they had
shown him such kindness, but It bad been manifested
on every occasion on which he had had the pleasure of
meeting the Blaekiwoor Vale Hunt Club, sr joining in
any other amembly in the town of Shoehorns, He
must say that the terms in which the chairman had
Permorred his health were quite undeserved—in°, no.)
Many of the Wisp whit* afr. Dirtily had been kind
enough to say fel him were rather to be attributed to
bit own kindly feelings than anything else. He thanked
the °ampule, not only for the way in whisk they had
drums his health, but for the way in which they bed
shown their good feeling and kindness be him through-
out the hunting seeson—(ebeers.) Ffe Wreaked them
for the very little trouble that any of them bad given
him le the blatant/4dd when marshalling them, as he
might say, in the plate or seder that hs thought most
oseductive to sport. It was no doubt very annoying
sometimes for people to be called by name and asked to i
go or stop here or there, or to do this or that, which
they themselves might at the time possibly think very .
unreasonable, Stilt he was very much flattered by the
remarks of stranger. Who eases down and said, " Glya,
I think your field in eapitel order ; all *Ma ta get 1,011
on, or to stay here or there as you seem to wish"—
(bear, hear,) That was a very flittering thing, and it
sonic( only be attributed to Mum kind feeling of the
" field." While running, be very often felt there was
a great disposition to give way to him, which, although
it Was very Bartering, he must any was not always
what he wished. Indeed, he sometimes felt that he
would rather they did not do it; though he of course
fully spprecriated the good feeling which prompted it—
(hear, hear.) With regard to the sorneltmentery
remarks of the Chairmen about the Blieskesoor
Vale Hunt he (Sir Richard) could not help feeling that
these remarks would apply much more to :he Chairman
than to himself. Whenever he beard anything said in
prairie of the alaskmoer Vale Hunt, healways felt that
Mr. Dieby had done MOM for the hunt than be (Sir
Richard) bad done-460pleuse). He thought if anybody
was ever born with a silver born in his mouth. or •
saddle under him, so to speak, it was himself. Nobody
was ever pet into • reentry upon more favourable terms
than he had been—(hear, herar)--nohody ever found a
reentry more completely made, or a pack more
thoroughly tarnished, or with • Isom thorough hunts-
man on the spot—(applause)—nobody ever found 00•111111
for foxes in better order than he did, and they all
knew that be was Indebted for all that to Mr. Digby—
(applause)—who for many pars did hientmost, es their
master, to make and increase the sport in the Black.
moor Vale—{hear, hear)—and even now, though he had
given no the mastership, be still diA not fail to do his
utmost in every way to make Bleekmoor Vale one of
beet heating mentries in the Week of England—(hear.
bear, and applause). It was with the greatest pleasure,
therefore, that before he sat down he wished to pro.
poem to them the health of one so deeply loved, and
so mush valued. as their Chairmen—(great otreerino).
He nand not ten them in the town of Bherboros bow
many thing, they loved and respected Mr. Dreg for,
In addition to the respect they bore him as an ex.
neater of foxhounds —(bmar, hear). His name WY
known all through the counties of Dorset and Somerset,
not only as •sporteman and ex-magber of bowies, but
as one who had the welfare of both °counties deeply at
heart—(applause)--as one whose liberality was perfectly
unprecedented—lbw, hear)—as one the extent of
whom liberality was really leakiest' to aoybody—(bear,
bear). It extended to all classes of people; and when
anything was required by the tenant farmer, he looked
Into the matter himself, and everything Was always
most salisfactory--(applause).
The toast was &mak with mush enthasiman.
The 4.311•111141 X, on rising to respond, was very I
heartily greeted. He said be must in the first plasm
acknowledge the very handsome and honourable terms
In which Sir Richard had proposed his beelth. He
thanked Sir Richard for it, end he thanked the company
for the kind manner in which they bad received the
toast and the way in which they had shown they "Yr eed

Was sorry to admit that his shortcomings would not
