b said the first toast which he the honour of proposing
upon this auspicious occasion, was one which was
happily drunk with the greatest enthusiasm at all
times by every company of Englishmen. and more par-
ticularly would it be the case at the present time,
speaking as he did to a body of men connected with
such a noble institution as the Manchester Unity.
(Hear hear.) They were met this day to hold their
triennial festival, and had selected • tune which was
set apart as a holiday for celebrating tier Majesty's
coronation. A most appropriate clay for their
festival, considering the loyal feelings which the
Manchester rnity had always imbibed towards
tluir sovereign. If there was one reason more
than another why this .day was set apart, it was be-
cause their minds Would revert to the many glories of
het reign, and the many virtues which had distinguished
her character ; and this would canoe them to drink this
toast with the greatest enthusiasm. (Cheers.)
Bend "God Saes the Queen."

The CHAIIIII•X than gave the " Prince of Wales and
the rest of the Royal Family." He said they had re-
cently had the opportunity of congratulating Pet Prince
of Wales on his marriage, end he wu sore It was the
wish of every good Englishman, that the union would
prove a source of happiness to himself, and the nation
over whom he may at sous deeding day be celled upon

The 611/ZIOIAN, in giving the toad of "The Army,
Nam and Dorchester Bide Volunteers," asked
where was the Englishman who bad not recognised the
services of the army and navy' He wee sure the fad
was patent to them all, and needed no weeds from him
to cause them to receive the toast u it should be
received. He WM sore it would be inneoeseary for him
to attempt to recount the scene, in which they had
engaged in promoting the happiness and welfare of the
country. In speaking of the volunteer, the Chairman
said they were • noble &maiden°s to the army and navy
—gallant and patriotic men, who hut WWI forward for
their country's hononr, t • time when exposed to
danger, and who had enrolled at greet expense and loss
of time to thendelves, and who had become • most
efficient arm of the service. He then alluded to the
high term, in which the Duke of Somerset had lately
spoken of the efficiency of the volunteers, and said this
could be only accounted for by their perseverance in

chester Volunteer,,o coupling with the army the name
of Sergeant Murphey, of the B Battery of Artillery.

Sergeant MURPHIT briefly responded, as did ales
Private White on behalf of the volunteers.

The CHAIRMAN said the next toast which be had the
greatest pleasure in presenting to their notice, was that
noble band of men who bed at all times so truthfully
performed those solemn end reaponeible duties entrusted
to them, and to whoa labours they as • nation felt
so much indebted. Not only for the many virtues which
adorned the Engliah character, which they by their es.

daily miniaustions and acriptural teschiess. With the
toast of the "Bishop and Clem of the diocese" be
coupled the name of that most able and melons servant
of God who bad kindly preached to them on this

The Rev. Mr. URQUHART, in responding to the toast,
alter having thanked the company for the enthusiastic
manner in which they had responded to the toast, said
he could not nit down without saying a few words on
; this occaaion, observing that he came amongst
them quite unexpectedly, and had been invited to take
part in the proceedings. He thanked theta for the
manner in which they had received the toast, and said
although he was only the cute of an adjoining village,
and unknown to some of them, perhaps they would
; allow him to call their attention to the words which
they had heard in the morning—that this day of
festivity might be passed in a merry and wise manner,
I and not otherwise. He was sure they would excuse him
; for making this remark, but if they did their
utmost to enjoy themselves wisely, at the end
of the day they would be much better off, and he
he was quite sure they would be so the next morning.
(Laughter) He wished them every snaiTni and
bappi-
n.e., and hoped they would leave the field merry, but
orderly, end in the same way as they entered it.
Rev. C. T. Pancros eta Wady returned flanks. I.
the cause of hie remarks, he said he believed their
Bishop was respected by every one who knew him.
With the clergy he was greatly beloved, as he was a
working-man, and one whom they would reverence, and
feel that he was worthy to preside over this diocese.
(Applause.) He hoped the time would speedily come
when the clergy would prove the reality of their rnis•
lion by their work., and by their sympathy with their
parishioners generally, and with all who were in slanged
and distress. He then expressed the great pleasure and
satisfaction it had afforded him of welcoming them to his
church that morning, and said he must not take all the
credit upon himself. They would not have had each
a service had it not been for the amistanee which
he received from his organist end choir, end
the most valuable help afforded by his amrshwarden
In acting as pew opener, which had tended much in
maintainieg the good order which they bad had. He
then alluded to the pleasure it gays him to be present
at their festive boerd. The principle which he wished
to act upon. and which he believed to be • right one,
was that things, which were not wrong in themselves,
could be enjoyed, and that it was the abuse of God's
gifts sod not the use of them that was wrong. (Hear,
hear.)
Tii• CHAIRMAN said the next toast wee one which
they would receive, as brethren of the Manchester
Unity. What was the Manchester Unity? He might
answer that question by stating, that it wee one of the
largest friendly societies in the kingdom. In 1862 it
numbered 300,000, and he had no doubt by this time
it amounted tea tallies, and had about 4,000 lodge.
It was governed by an executive committee, and wee
a mutual bowel sosiety at Manchester. It had a board
of directors, who were °hoses annually, and its rules
were drawn up by most eminent actuaries, so a to
ensure the most complete success for the objects for
which it was formed. He believed the Manchester
Unity was an institution which had been ra
cognised—in fact by some of the great men of the
day— by wise and good men for many TOWS past.
What originated the term "Oidfellow " was
almost impossible to say. Some pampas bad put
some very fumy expressions as to the meaning
of the word, but his opinion was that it meant "good
fellows." (Cheers.) And this he was sure of, for every
man who connected himself to an Oddfellows Inatitu•
tion was • good fallow. He had no doubt the origin of
the word meant to husband their resources la times of
health so as to have them in times of sickness, so that
when God pleased to afflict them, they had something to
fall back upon. (Applause.) All clams were beginning
to feel the advantages of each societies, of which the
Manchester Unity was the largest. It increased daily
in importance, it was recognised by the ablest men in
the land, and was one of the most efficient institutions
of it. kind. and might be considered the most valuable,
and one calculated to promote and advance the great
ends for which it was formed. (Applause.) He would
not detain them any longer in deviling on this subject,
es 11r. Western, who was an old member of the institu-
tion, could eve them a east deal more information than
he could. He (the chairman) was an Oddfellow, and
waa proud of being such, a the linger he lived the
