IRELAND.

Duman, Pas. 18.
The first grand civic banquet of the present may-
oralty having been delayed until our new Lord Lieu-
tenant should be installed in Dublin Castle, took
place last night in the King's Room of the Mansion-
house.
The great feature of the night was the speech of
the Earl of St. Germans, in returning thanks for the
toast of the "Lord Lieutenant and Prosperity to
Ireland." In reference to the topic of the appre-
hended abolition of the vice-regal office, his Excel-
lency said:

Gentlemen, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland my duty is to
administer the local government of this country ; bat I am
not here to expound the sentiments or to declare the inten-
tions of the coafidential advisers of the crown. I spoke that
which I believed—that which was my own opinion. It is
my opinion still ; and I will go a step further, and say
that I will not be a party to any measure which has for its
object the abolition of the vice-regal office. If any inch
measure is brought forward, entertaining the opinion which
I do, I shall oppose it, and I shall be prepared to state,
then and there, my reasons for so opposing it. As I have
already said, I have no right to fetter the discretion of the
confidential advisers of the crown, or to tell you what their
intentions may or may not be ; but this I may venture to
assure you, that the assertion which has been made that a
hill has been prepared, or is about to be prepared, for the
abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant, is utterly and en-
tirely untrue. I have no reason whatever to suppose that
such a measure is in the contemplation of the govern-
ment.

The Archbishop of Dublin returned thanks for the
toast of his Graces health, coupled with " the Clergy
of Ireland;" the Right lion. F. Blackburn spoke
to that of the " University of Dublin," of which he is
vice-chancellor; and the other speakers who re-
sponded to the remaining toasts were Sir Edward
Blakeney, the Attorney-General, Mr. Dargan, Lord
Monk, Lord Wharoclitfe, and Mr. Napier, M.P.

CUSTODY OF MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.—Yeaterday
Miss O'Connor applied to the sitting magistrate at Ham-
mersmith Police Court for aid in obtaining the removal of
bee brother, who was in Dr. Tuke's Asylum at Chiswick
Manor, to another establishment. Hitherto she had been
unable to obtain access to her brother, u the uniform
answer upon her presenting herself was that Dr. Tube
was not at home. A notice to deliver had been served, but
rejected by the doctor. When the patient was originally
plated en this asylum 1,7004, his property, was deposited
in the joint names of Dr. Tube and Mr. Jacob Bell.
The doctor could, therefore, allege no unsatisfied claim.
The magistrate said he could do nothing in the ease,
and referred the applicant to the Commissioners in Lunacy.

Tne PORT or DUBLlN.—Yesterday a return to the
House of Commons Obtained by Hr. George, M.P.) was
printed, showing that in 1852 the receipts on account of the
port of Dublin were 42,1821. IDs. Id., and the disburse-
ments 31!,636/.
NARVAU AND 1115 VIENNA MISSION.—A letter
from Madrid of the 12th, states that at the moment that
most people were expecting to hear of some desperate move
ow the part of General Names, that matters were ar-
ranged a Poiasable. Finding that treat offence had been
given by his first letter, Narrate addressed another letter
to the Queen. In very dutiful language, and praying to be
excused from proceeding to Vienna. In consequence of
this request a royal order had been transmitted, by which
he is exonerated from proceeding there, and allowed to
select for his residence any point out of Spain that he may
choose.
TILE MURDER IN DEVONSIIIRL—From the evidence

which we published • few days since it appeared that
only one man, George Sp irkes, was directly. implicated in
this murder. Since then, however, the magistrates of the
division hare made an inquiry into the matter, and addi-
tional facts have been obtained, which implicate the
other prisoner, James Hitchcock.
