This Society Was estab:ished, in Belfast, some
tears axe, for the purpose of reviving and pressers-
rng the iiiiicteitt music of I:eland, and in particular
the Music of the lr;sh harp, an instrumeut which,
in tku slays of our forefathers, rebounded in the hullo
of- onr Nobles. it. exhiltratiog strains ere calcu-
lated to awaken vie and to deeds of valour, and
its milder melodies to Lin the flame of love, ur kin-
dle soft desire—" Strike the harp its my hull,"
said the great Finical, " and let Fingal hear the
song."
Whilst the M mbers of this Society were prose-
cuting the design of the institution, they fintud to
one of their Members, Mr. Edward Bunting, a
powerfnl anxiliary; one, indeed, who had long pre-
ceded them in the pur•uit, and who had followed
it with perseverance, with ardour, and with suc-
cess. To attain his favourite object, this Gentle-
man has carried his researches into all the ancient
volumes of music that he could discover ; and, in
order to make still greater acquirements, travelled
over the greater part of Ireland, and in the wilds
or the mountains, stud in tits recesses of the glens,
called from the simple songs of the peasantry, many
of the finest airs of our ancient Bards.
These national airs, thus rescued from oblivion,
we are happy to know, are now published, and, of
course, beyond all danger of being lost.
•—.

To this °Gentleman...therefore,- the country is
indebted for restoring and preserving such valuable
relics of ancient genius.
Sensible of the importance of his labours, and
the ability with which he has accompliphyd the ob-
ject of his pursuit, the Members of the Belfast
Harp Society determined, as a mirk of individual
respect and public esteem, to invite ham to • splen-
did entertainment, on ednesday the 40th ult. at
O'Neill's hotel. In the afternoon, about fifty Gen-
tlemen received him with every mark of respect ;
end at Ave o'clock they sat down to a sumptuous
dinner, elegantly served up, with excellent wines,
&c. Gt Lanett Mthants, Esq. in the Chair; iktr-
LIAM STEVEN/OS, Esq. Vice President.
After the cloth was removed, the following toasts
were given :
_ _

" God Save the Lag
The Army cad fiskey—Pared. " Role Britassic"
The Memory of St. Patrick—S*og, "The sweet little,
dear little shamrock of frelaud.". _ _

After thus toast. the CINIAIIINAN ro'e. and id-
dressed the coropouy to the fullosting effect :

Gswrimus —.Previous to the toast I am
about to propose, permit me to take the op-
portunity of expressing the sentimeats which
actuate myself, and, I doubt not, all those present.
la proposing the health of the Gentlemau.to com-
memorate whose services we have now met, I can-
not avoid publicly expressing, in my own wane,
awl that of the society us which I have the honour
of presiding, the sense of the obligations we owe to
him. Foe seventeen yeses actively engaged in res-
cuing from oblivion the few relics of our national
music which have escaped the devastation of time,
he has at length achieved, what hod often before
bees unsuccessfully attempted.° From former
failures, we mai appreciate the difficulty of the
undertaking. From our own regrets for those
strains which are now lost for ever, we may judge
what is due to him, who has preserved a part. By
the publication of the ancient melodies of Ireland,
he hap fixed an era in the history of its national
music, sod, lest writing should foil, he has also been
the lilippy means of restonng the ancient mode of
preserving it, by a succession of Irish Bard-. Of
this valuable trust we are the guardians and depo-
sitories✓-this is the origin of oar society, and, lest it
should droop, it is invigorated by a pnuciple that
most ever endear it to the hearts of Irishmen. If
tie love of our country be the end, the lore of our
fellow-creatures is the mean by which we attain it ;
for he it reioetnberefl, and to the honour of the
man from whom this Society derives its origin be it
spoken, that our existence is secured by being ce-
mented by the sacred bond of charity.t I could
say much more, did not the expression of my own
feelings restrain von from giving vent to yours.—
Permit me, therefore, to propose the health of Mr.
Edward Bunting---the reviver of the ancient music
of our conntry—and may his exertions be crowned
with the success they merit."
The health of Mr. Bunting was drunk, with three
times three.
Mr. Hymnist.; then rna•. and said—" Mr. Pre-
sident HietlGentleinen—this testimony of your ap.
piobation, and the highly flattering attention be-
stowed on me this day, amply reparmy exertions in
endeavouring to rem-ue from oblivion the relics of
the national music of our country. Allow use to
assure you. they will not lid to make a lively and
lasting impression on nit heart."
This ape, ch ass received with great applause.—
Mr. Bunting then leave to give as a toast,
" The Harp Society of Helfaat."--(Thw was drunk with
three times three.) . . . . .
