Tar Glottal Hospital was visited by his Ithe.lkscr at 2

His excellency afterwards visited and remained tor upwards
of an hoer in the establishment of the keens Mulholland.
After cordially expressing to the Mesas. Mulholland
the extreme gratiffoatioa he derived from his visit, he
Loh his leave, and interns, his carriage with his mite, sad
accompanied by the gentlemen who attended him oe his visit,
drove round to the &mini of Design, an institution which
owes much to his lordship, "the father and founder of
School. of Design ia Ireland."
On his return to town, he win proceeded to the residence
of the general, bother for the dinner of thir Town Council,
At seven o'clock in the evening a large aid distieguished
party, at the invitation of the Mayor and Tows Council of
B ,r assembled to meet the L“rd lieutenant at dinner.
The large upper room in the Music Hall, in which the
banquet was saved, was decozated with coosiderable
atagnilicssioe.
Tn. Mayor proposed " The health of Lord CM-
reedon,"—(Lond and repeated cheers.) Air, "Patrick's
Day."

Lord Clarendon then rose, and aid—Mr. Mayor, my lards,
and gentlemen, I am sum that you will all believe:me when I
say that I labour under a painful conecionne es of my own
inabiliir to convey to you my feeling% on this occasion, and
my load. quay to express my profound sense of the honour
done nie by this usagnific nt entertainment—by the more
than flittering terms in which the mayor has proposed my
health—and the exceeding kindness with which that tout
has boon received by you. (Loud cheers.) Bat Ido thank
you moat cordially ; and I can wore you in all sincerity,
and not as a mere form of ennui in, that the reception
with which I have been honoured in Belfast will be held in
grateful remembrance by me to the latest hour of my exist-
ence. (Cheers.) Gentleingt, it is now upwards of twenty
years since I visited the north of Ireland, and von must
permit ma to offer you my heartfelt congratulations en the
improvements of every kind which, during that period, have
taken plum in your town. I hare had the gratification to
have observed myself, and to have learned from authentic
and official sources, that this improvement is almost, If not
altogether, without parallel in the history of commercial
enterprise. (Loud eheen,) Gentlemen, I understand that in
she tear 1829 the first spinning factory was established in
Belfast—that magnificent one of the Messrs. Mulholland,
which I visited to day. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Bina
that time I understand that more than twenty million
pounds sterling have been invested in the machinery of
your factorise, and that betweea 300,000 or 400,000
spindles are now at work in Belfast. From the year 1839
to the year 1847 the increase in the cumber of persons
employed in factory labour has been in Scotland 13f, in
England 30f, and in Ireland—by which I suppose is meant
the north of Ireland—(. hear, hear," and cheers)—it has been
no legs thee 62 per cent. (Loud app:ause.) I believe
that the exports of linen from Ireland are upwards of
4,000,000 f. surlier, and that directly or indirectly 300,000
persons gain their livelihood from this unrivalled national
manufacture. (Loud cheers) And if it be true, as I hang
reason to believe, that the imports and exports of Ireland
are nearly one million steelier greater dueler the hut
year than the year before, and that the ship; ing of this port
as now become fifteen times [greater than it was sixty years
ago, and, that, within the eight months of the present year,
it is 60,000 ons greater than during the corresponding
mouths of the hot year, and that, to then feet., another
het must be added, which is, that within the laet thirty
yeses the population of Belfast has considerably more than
trebled—l think, gentlemen, that all this presents an asto-
nishing picture of the industry, energy, and perseveruce
of Belfast. (Great theme.) As might be expected, also, in
such a community, the refinements of taste, and the civilis-
ing influences of siosisay, have followed in the track Unto.
easeful industry ; and while you hey* acmitind great weelth„
you have done more than this, for you have shown
yourselves mindful of the wants and iater. sts of the poor.
I only wish that those who affirm, without pagiotism, that
Ireland is not improving, or without knowledge, that Eng-
land is her envious rival and her jealous sister, would oome
to Belfast to test the accuracy of their statements. (Cheers )
Let them theta say, if they know cf soy place where indus-
try has been more successful, or where prosperity hos been
more deserved ; and, if it were the object of England to
steal away the manufactures of Indeed, let them look
around Belfast sad say whether England has neeeeded is
her object. (Cheers) Gentlemen, however agreeable it
would be to me to wooer In the speech' of the Mayor, thus
is one portion of it front which I am compelled to dissent—l
mean the estimate he has taken of the services I may have
rendered to the country. Upon this subject I must claim
the liberty to be einamspeet. I know that them union
have fallen far short of my duties, and i can only feel grate-
ful for the kindling with which you hate inn-nested my
intentions. I hope that, without presumption, I may say
that I have had thoriuml good is view, without distinction
of party or clam May have bees the *heed= which,
during a portion of the lot three years, have beat the path
of the government. I need hardly allude to that terrible
calamity, with all Its varied and frightful C 011•1111012011;
with which it was the will of the Almighty that this eoun-
try should be visited, and which, unparalleled foe duration
and extent is the annals of history, threetned to overwhelm
all classes of the eommasity in one names rode. It wea
then that the dimming which had long festered, height-
ened and inflamed by intense suffering, enured a portioa of
our fellownwitryssea to glee ear to fake advisers. Then
aloe it was that the ispheaviar of that mighty political
movement, whisk cheek every theme in Europe to its bass,
gunned every country la the civilised world, made its
vibration to Le felt in Ireland. That, I will admit, was a
1110,118111 of deep anxiety to one placed in a reeponsible posi-
tin like my owa—and who felt, as I did, that en NM at
such a time would be Ineerrerable. (Rear) Bat lan with
