from the ur..tnrm support ot the branches of that . .

mesons company assenibled, and to the country st

" The health of the Earl cf Moira was received
'with the accustomed warmth of feeling a3d Ake.
*a. The gallant Earl returned (banks in the most
energetic and eloquent terms. He knew hishmen
would appreciate the force and sincerity of these
sensatinas which the approbatirn of his countrymen
could not fail to produce. He revered the Insti-
to ion of St. Patrick as ; charitable one, but hi.
iii..w took a mote extensive reach. He liked tn.
tional distinction, where the ambition was to impa.t
happiness to the unfortunate, avid to keep alive II or
most honourable feelings of our nature. Such a
charity not only rescued the helpless children of his
poor countrymen from vice and misery, bet
generated the feeling and means by which those
who were indebted would feel it their duty to re
vim the obligation. From tl.e Shamrock they re-
ceived, in the hour of distress, the kindest sup.
port, and to the Shamrock they would make a ten-
told repayment. In the annxis of our history, never
d.d so black a cloud hang over the country, and
consequeotly never was the necessity of union ••
amoogst all descnptions mere commanding. lie
did not speak to estate apprehension. well as be
knew that fear was not the charteleristic either cf
Ireland, or any other branch of the British empire.
Tne feeling was that of competition, whose heart
swelled highest for the emanate?. and whose hand
was most ready to engage with the enemies of the
country. The feeble leaves of the forest may. in
the rupture of the whirlwind be scattered ; but the
daring attack would only tend to strengthen the
root of the British nak, which, thisegh fed by the
shamrock, compensated by its proieeti,us for the
sustenance it received. The Noble Ltd concluded
by giving as a toast
' Prns. wit. ha every man, in **err teanelt of the Enapite,

It was drank with three t:mes three.

The Sprig of S4.ilels gad Shyness so Greets, was

loudly and deservedly encored.
