DUBLIN, Ou. 6.
The speech of Mr. Bright at the banquet given to
hint in Belfast is regarded hero u an imperial" fast"
end will afford matter fur comment and discussion
for some time. To any Englishman who will have
rod that speech it will be scarcely credible that
there aro people here entertaining such extravagant

question as to think that Mr.
sivzht has not gone far enough on the aubject of
tc::Sniright. Yet, such is the case, and we have the

sisctive compensation for improvements in the pro-

RALLINASLOE GREAT FAIR.
Tuesday war the se 'and day of the great fair of
Rallinasl.w. the prtceding day, although nominally
only the '• show " day, being in reality the principal
die of business. '!he weather area propitious, and
the result of the fair is described as being indicative
of a larourablo change in the farming affairs of the
country. The following arc the details of tho pro-
ceedings of Tuesday:
The snot number of fleeces which appeared to-disy
afforded esideoce that the transaction' cf yesterday—
although, considering the extreme unfavourableasse of the
day, ea the whole satisfactory—did not affect as great a
clearance as an former years. From as early hour the
wine stock-breeders took up their favourite positions, and
before ten o'el,vl4 the ground waa strewn in all dinning.'
with their woolly cluster*, the intervals between being
closely tilled during the day with moving MINN of people,
wko mingled in the scene from curiosity es motives
of bulimic For • eoneidetsble time the move-
ments of purchasers were extremely sleggiek and
the lits moved off very slowly until Saelia PIO
when ,he efflux through the custom gap
became more quick anal continuous. Tee Impieties of
wett:en remaining unsold since yesterday win considerably
greater than of ewes, and of the latter there Well few lots
of prime quality. The priors obtained were sank the man
as ye'terday. the difference, if say, being generally to the
advantage of the buyer. It is difficult, however, to draw
my consparbon with yederday, as the same class of article
WWI sot generally in the field.
A large number of horses is already in town, and solos
were exhibited to-day. There are a few mignificent heaters
and racehorses, which will bring long prior. The Mika of
mangers still continue*, and the places of those who leave
tie quickly filled. Amon st those whom 1 observed to-
day were the Earl of Mayo, Lord Howth, Chief Justice
Monahan, Mr. Wilson (ot Brlvoir, county Clan), and, to
cmpltte the heterogennus a.sembly, Alderman John Rey-
nolds. 'the followin,z is • return of the numbers of sheep

prism for Leicester. at the exhibition of the Meyal Agri-
cultural Society of England, held at Lewes. They cola-
mended high prices. Sir P. Mama also forwarded a

eme of those who jollied in the Tarim *barges
brtrbt spinet the people of Ireland. (Ham, beer.) I
as me of those who, from experience of the paps think
that, with certain variations, as we find in all arehrins --ad
people, the Irish have probably as many good cendhlusas sag
people in any other country. I don't believe that the
hundreds and thousands of men who travel from )air
far west every year to all the counties of England, mod
most of the counties of Scotland, for a few weeks of well-
paid labour—l don't believe that these ate a people out of
whom nothing can be made. It is stated that in
1851 nearly one million sterling was sent from
the United States to this country by Irishmen there
to help their friends and relatives to America, or if
not that, to add to their comfort at home. (Cheers.)
That is a fact which, when men declaim against the Irish
people, they should bear in mud—it is a thing that has no
parallel in the history of any country in the world, and is
in sty opinion • coocluaive &pewee to the thous old charges
made against the people of this part of the United Kingdom.
(Cheers.) 'tut I have taken more pains to acquaint myself
with this people; fur I have visited the extensive drainage
works in the west of Ireland, and found there that where
they were steadily employed, though they earned but
fourpence or sixp.ace a day by taskwork. at first, yet such
was their aptitude that iu • few weeks' practice they could
earn eighteenpence and two shillings a day. (Hear, bear.)
Well, I met • gentleman, who never should be mentioned
without respect in Ireland—l mean Mr. Dorgan (great
cheering), mud it the hen-tuts that monarchy bestows were
worth much, or bestowed as they ought, they would not be
given to the bankrupt drones of your country so much as to
the captains and generals of industry like lir.Dargan. (Con-
tanned cheering). Well, 1 mimed Mr. Dorgan what he
found ia his intercourse with this Irish. I heard he had
paid 6,0001. a week in wanes fur five years together, and as
he paned from one part of the country to anoteer, engaged
is these contray., be did 'IA carry his staff of workmen
with him, but employed those he found in each district ;
and this he must have got an intimate knowledge of the
people. Well, what he said to me was this—" Depend
Dr the people of Ireland want only the di&

Fad • Mrs it labour for the wages paid them as any

Ma bus secret why the people of Ireland—er at least its
geed_ eillpidetion has made lessilprogras daring the last
fifty years than the people ef
Ihrhad. (Item., hear.) Wean not rapoissable,
laziprimikr, for the fact that the lead is not as rah
soma he people as we could wish. We are sot
inipridles he ibm at confiscations that took plea from
the tire et to that of William; and I think Lord
Clare me that the had was confiscated twice over durii.g
that podia. But we are responsible for that daring our
time, we have contributed to the maintenance of laws which
have perpetuated nearly all the evils which must have arisen
frost the confiscations of earlier times. (Loud beers.)
The object of these confiscations was to plant in this
country • great territorial and, fur the most part,
protestant aristocracy. The government of those
days, too much like the governments of ours, did
not appear to know that there was a secret of binding
the people to this government by the strong ties of jute-
rest and affection, but thought that the only ten - plan was
to garrison Ireland in a manner; and succeeding parlia-
ments and generations have upheld the system of laws by
which these great families have been maintained in spite of
what was demanded by the interests of the people; for these
men had neither industry nor virtue, nor did they are for
their duties as proprietors; and except for the imerferenee
of laws, three-fourths of them (unless they possessed far
more virtue than they eves exhibited) would have fallen
from the rank they occupied. (Cheers.) Now up to the
period of 1890,. it will he quite clear to any person who reads
anything of huh history—though I must say the true
' history of Ireland has
_yet to be written—it must
be sees that every effort was made to prevent
anything like a prosperous middle class growing
up fa the soustry ; and from that time down to 1798,
the penal laws—another mode of securing Ireland to
England—(hear, hear)—so oppressed the great body of the
people that it was impossible Anthem to accumulate wealth;
and, whilst a middle class was growing up in England,
that taught the poor and controlled the rich, there was no
such class in Ireland, and your population, especially in the
south and west, are either almost abject peepers on the one
hand, or baakrupt nobles on the other. (Hear, hear.)
The result which we find now is just this, that the laws of
property an confused and perplexed, sad that not only we
who are unlearned, but the most profound lawyers, are
• pealed to unravel them. The rights of landlords and
tenants are in a state of confasion—(hear, hear)—and
t wherever I have travelled there is not • people-
tor mentioned that there is not, mad* the signifi-
cant announcement that he is either in the In-

cumbered Estates Court, or will be there very soon. (A
laugh). And ia the condition off Is r lower population the
late famine is mosment esooph. car.) Now, itnot an
ansommos thing a the Mara Commons to attribute all
the ahlerament Woad be the famine. They forgot that
before the lannedhere were two millions of your people who
had ao renlar men of subaistence, and that the Devon
Commission speaks of over two millions who were dwelling
in hovels it was a sandal for a people to dwell in. But the
famine same, and after it tho break up of society, and the
Ineumbered Estates Court, which was wasted long before
the famine—wanted even when Mr. t3inchirs was among
the voluotcen. (Laughter.) But so it is always in Great Bri-
tain. When catholic eumacipatin is greeted, the alterna-
tide is civil war. When reform is pissed, the alternative is
revolution. When eighty thousand slaves en asseseipatrd
in the West Indies, the alternative is immedistanwmetion
