I THE CRIMEAN BANQUET IN DUBLIN.

(From the Dublin Evening Hail.)

In any movement, having for its purpose the doing of
honour to the men who, by their gallantry; aided so materi-
ally in striking, for the time, a blow at Russian aggression,
and whose part it was to achieve those glorious victories, the
records of which are "on England's banner blazoned with
the famous field of old," it could not be supposed that Ireland
would retain the position of an inactive spectator, for in the
ranks were to be found thousands of her warrior sons who,
in all the chivalry of war and the faithfulness of soldier-faith,
had asserted and maintained her ancient reputation for
valour. And now when the scathe of battle has rolled by,
and the bold deeds of Alma, lukermann, Bllaklava, and
Sebastopol have become bright memories of the past, the
humblest Irish soldier, with the Crimean medal adorning
his breast, has the proud satisfaction of gazing at the trophies
of the war, and exclaiming, with perfect truthfulness, lifili-
tari non sine gloria ! Assuredly would the ban of ingratitude
deserve to lie- heavy upon the countrrwhieh could fail to
recognise and reward services eminent as those performed
Kr the hero soldiers of the Crimea. Pkobably no campaign
ever developed the heroism of the British soldier so bril-
liantly as that which has just been concluded. Bravery the
most consummate—negation of self the most complete—and
patience the most enduring under privations the more
galling that they were induced by neglect, mismanagement,
and incompetence—such were the attributes of those we
sent forth to fight our battles, and nobly they did their duty.
We cannot restore to them the blood shed in the cause of
our espousal—we cannot repay them for the days of hunker
and the nights of cold spent in an inhospitable clime—we
cannot reinvigorate the frame shattered by disease. nor reju-
venise the prematurely aged man—but we can show that we
appreciate their valour, sympathise with their sufferings, and
hail them as our brothers and our defenders. As expressive
of feelings such as these alone are banquets" or any other
forms of popular demonsttation valuable—divested of senti-
ments such as these, they became insulting. So far, at least,
as the Irish "National Crimean Banquet" was concerned,
we think there could exist no question of the genuineness
of the feelings which prompted its promoters. The names
of Gough, Talbot de Malahide, and a host of others pretty
plainly guaranteed that no unworthy idea would be allowed
a place in the mind of the committee. The public security
on this head was so complete that an amount of national
co-operation and effective aid was evoked with a rapidity.
unsurpassed, if not unparalled, in this, the country of " sub-
scriptions," par excellence. The hands of the committee
were strengthened by funds •in abundance, and the most
liberal offers of gratuitous assistance poured in from all
sides. The result has been the completion of an entertain-
ment, perfect in all its details, and of a character for libe-
rality and extent munificent beyond comparison. Here it
could not be with truth said, as it was said of the dinner to
the Guards at the Surrey Gardene, that solids were in
ambiguo, or portables either—les idees did not receive a
higher position from the contractors, Messrs. Spaddicini and,
Murphy, than more commonplace, yet substantial matters.
To enjoy themselves at this banquet it was ,not necessary
that the men should have dined beforehand. They came
with the intention of eating their dinner, and they got the
means of fulfilling that intention. To be sure the eye,
although duly and admirably cared for, was not feasted to
an extent calculated, in a monetary point of view, to inter•
fere with the action of the digestive organs, nor was melody,
thongu its presence was agreeably made known, supplied to
the ear at the expense of the palate. In a word, the banquet
was a banquet in the truest acceptation of the term, in the
sumptuoueness of its arrangements, and in the equality
established for the moment between all the guests. Probably,
of kindred spectacles, none more magnificent could be
witnessed than the scene at this entertainment. A
building so vast in extent that the eye failed
to receive fully' and at once an impression of its grand
proportions—nrissinally, as it is known, a tobacco
store—this building has been transformed into a
banquet-hall with the greatest rapidity. Painti,
and banners, and drapings, and trophies, have wrought,
with artistic. aid, a change almost magically great and
brilliant. The iron girders of the root, painted in red,
yellow, and blue' and interlacing one another throughout
the entire length of the .building, relieve, by their lightness,
the effect, otherwise unpleasant, of the lowness of the roof.
The supporting columns in their cerulean coating, and with
laurels or trophies depending from them ; the walls, with
their scrolls, on which were blazoned the names of Raglan,
Arnaud, Pelissier, Tchernaen, Kars, Sebastopol,'
ascha, Silistria, Inkermann, Balaklava Bomarsund,
&c. ; the gallery, with its tasteful drapery, and the array of
beauty which adorned its capacious benches ; the orna-
mentation of the tables—floral and artificial—and the not
less sightly appearance of the beef, hams, turkeys, jellies,
pies, pasties, et hoc genus (mane, the artillery trophies at
the extreme end, formed of two field-pieces, varied flags,
piles of shot, and pyramids of drums, contributed to pro-
duce an ensemble of the greatest beauty. From the paltform
the coup d'ceil was magnificent. The pillars, round which
-re placed alternately the flags of the nations allied in the
en war, lances, with their c' and e- ac

-tags, a. words and
muskets arranged as trophies, relieved the eye, and gave' a
character of occupancy, if we may use the term, to the
space above, otherwise unattainable. The evergreens and
flowers, plenteowly distributed throughout the building,
presented a pleasing appearance; and the gigantic national
standards of England, France, Prussia, Austria, Turkey,
and Sardinia in the distance, completed a pleasing per-
spective; while conspicuous amongst all, and over all,
figured in the background the name of " Hope"--Florence
Nightingale. But amidst all the decorations perchance two
scrolls having the names "St. Arnaud" and " Raglin"
blanched upon a dark ground, attracted the most respect,
and caused the head to bow of many a brave fellow whom
the two departed heroes had led on to battle and to victory.
At a little after twelve o'clock the guests of the day began
to arrive and take their seats. It was fully half an hour
before all were seated, but, when they had become so,
the appearances of the hall was most imposing. The
soldier-like bearing of the men, the, glitter of the vary_
coloured uniforms, and the gallery, filled with a most
distinguished circle of the beauty, wealth, and rank of
Ireland, presented, in the whole, a scene, such as is rarely
to be witnessed in countries where fetes are not modes of
conducting a government, and where festivities are not over
popular. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, attended by
a brilliant staff, arrived at a quarter to one o'clock, and was
greeted by several rounds of the most enthusiastic applause,
the hands of the 60th Rifles and 3rd Dragoons the while
playing the National Anthem. His Excellency Was
received by the members of the crmmittee, headed by the
Lord Mayor, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Seaton, Lord
Dunally, Lord Talbot de Malabide, Lord Gough, Lord
Vaux of Harrowden, Admiral Chads, General Chatterton,
the Chief Secretary, Sze &c., and conducted to his seat ()ti-
the dais. His Excellency was attired in the Windsor'
uniform, and wore the Star and Ribbon of the Garter, with.
the Insignia of the Order of St. Patrick. The Lord Mayor
took the chair, having to his right the Lord Lieutenant, the
C mnmander of the Forces, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord
Dunally, Admiral Chads, and a number of superior officers"
who had come in charge of detachments. On the left sat
the Lord Chancellor, Lord' Vaux of Harrowden, Lord
Gough, the Right Hon. C. Horsman, General Sir J. Chat-
terton, Colonel Gordon Higgins, Mr. Dargan, Sir Timothy
O'Brien, M.P.; Colonel Larcom, Under Secretary; APer-
man George Roe, L.L D. ; and a number of officers wearing
the Crimean medal. The following gentlemen acted as Vice-
Chairmen John Butler ; High Sheriff of the City
of Dublin, Col. D. C. Latouche D.L. ; H. H. Woods, Esq.,
D.L. ; Anthony Lefroy, Esq., D.L. ; Lnrd Mayor Elect, High
Sheriff of County Dublin, Sir John K. James, Bart. ; Sir
Robert Shaw, Bart. ; Sir T. O'Brien, M.P.; Thomas
Gresham, Esq.; Sir E. M'Donnell, Isaac Butt, M,P. ; J.
Burke, Esq. ; Captain Esmonde, M.P. ; E. Farrell, Esq. ;
T. O'Brien,.M.P. ; Edward Iltnahan, Hon. J. P. Vereker,
Dargan. Esq. ; P. T. Gardiner, El. ; Thomas

O'Dwyer, Lieutenant-Colonel Browne, Alderman Boyce, T.
D. Atkin, Alderman Boylan, Alderman Hudson, Alderman
Reynolds, Val. O'B. O'Connor, and M. J. Barry.

The Lord Mayor having said grace, the mot de' ordre was
given, and the dinner commenced. That it was sab4antial
may be gathered from the following bill of fare :-17 5 ribs,

gs of mat

; 200 turkeys; 100 venison pasties,
350 meat pies; 360 plum-puddings; 3,5001b5, of bread ;
7,000b5. of potatoes ; 3,500 pint bottles of port; 3,500
quart bottles of Dublin porter. The total number of guest,
all wearing medals :-3,000 non-commissioned officers and
privates; 50 petty officers, sailors, and marines; 50
enrolled pensioners; 20 Peninsular and Indian veterans;
50 constabulary ; 25 Coast Guard ; 5 Metropolitan
Police ; 1 Land Transport Service. During din-
ner, the bands stationed in the gallery, played
the " Roast Beef of Old England," and the overture to
" O'Donoghue of the Lakes ;" and as the latter was per-
formed with many beautiful Irish melodies with which it
is so appropriately interspersed, particularly " Savourneen
Dbeelish," " Garryowen," "The &c., appeared to
excite a perfect furore of admiration among the soldiers,
ona of whom, an 18th man, was conspicuous waving a
miniature banner, amidst thun-ters of applause, heartily
joined in by the parties on the dias. The dinner being
concluded, and grace having been said,

The Lord Mayor rose and said : I beg to propose the
health of her Majesty the Queen, a toast which, I am sure,
no man in the kingdom would refuse to drink, much less the
military, for whom her Majesty has at all times evinced
such kindness, care, and love.. (Loud cheers.)
• The toast was responded to with the greatest enthusiasm.

The Lord Mayor again rose. He had next the honour of
proposing the health of the Lord Lieutenant and prosperity
to Irelan. There was not a man in this country to whom
the virtues of the nobleman who represented her Majesty
in Ireland were not known, and so long as he continued to
preside over its fortunes, it could not but prosper. (Loud
cheers).
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
Drunk wtth the greatest applause.
on rising to respond
to the toast, was received with such deafening cheers from
all parts of the hall, that several minutes elapsed before he
was enabled to commence his address. At length, compa-
rative silence having been obtained, his Excellency proceed-
ed with his speech, but was only able to make himself heard
by raising his voice to the highest possible pitch. He said :
