his kindness and ingenuousness of heart, would make

of approaching him. Unfortunately, it wee his lot to
live at a distance from phis county, and they saw less
of him than they could wish or desire. If they did not

—and he did Dot see any difficulty—he believed that

H. CALMAR E.q., again roes, and said that with the
theirman's permission be would take this orporianiis
of proposing a toast which they would drink with
the greeted enthusiasm ad pleasure. It was the
"Health Of their noble and eziallent President." end
be was sere they would remise that name with cordiality
and re-peet, and give it a hearty, thorough English,
Dorset welcome. (Chart) He moat take this
opiertenity of sayieg, that they frequently saw in
formai booth and newspapers a great deal about the
aristocracy of fleglacid, sad it was them stated that
they were the bar to everything that was toed and
progressive in this country. He thought they meld
not have • more distiset disavowal of the truth of these
opinions, that is the example which they saw is awe
Chairman. (Hear, beard If they looked at thie
aristocracy, whether at boine or in the House MLA*,
they saw their ranks annually reendted from the meal
emiseat meg in the land, from the army end navy, the
law, and mereantie profenams, all men who were
Imbued with great taints, and who conasquently gave
fresh life and blood to what might Phenyl*e become
stagnant. (Hear. hear.) When they saw that noble ein
ample of their Chairman, to lois ia their escrow. and
rejoice in their good meows, and make himself pad
and period if thorn, they were quite willing tobot
and glad were they that they bad that of
distinguished peewee amongst them, sad were w •
to give healer where honour was doe. (Cheers.) Os
this measles they were ready and edam( to drink the
health of their kind, moonset, and nilbie President,
who had filled the chair In a manner which must have

dose without a dieser. and he had also provided, is
addition to the exedlest repast which Mr. Yeareley had
furnished, two epthedid hansebes of maims. (Cheers)
Therefore, whether they regarded the noble lord as •
President. Oheinnen, friend, neighbour, or former
be was we they would drink Ms health with the
utmost cordiality. (Loud theism)
The Caeoutax appropriately returned thanks, and
after several other toasts had been given and re-
speeded to, the nestling separated.
