THE BUFAST BANQUET.

LORD CARLISLE IN THE NORTH.
DUBLIN, Friday Morning.—The banquet, which was
given in the Music-hall, was attended by upwards of
250 persons, among whom may be enumerated the
Marquis of Londonderry, Viscount Gough, Viscount
Massareene, Lords Rossmore, Annesley, Dufferin, Robt.
Montague, and Lurgan ; Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., Sir
James Emmerson Tennant, Mr. W. Kirk, M.P., Mr.
R. Davison, M.P., Mr. J. Richardson, M.P., Mr. Jas.
Whiteside, M.P., Major-General Gough, Mr. William
Darc,Yan, Mr. William S. Crawford, the Lord Bishop of
Down, the Right Rev. Dr. Denvir, &c.
After the health of her Majesty had been duly
honoured, the toast of the Emperor of the French was
proposed by the Mayor, and received with the most
overwhelming applause. The futile attempt which was
made a short time since to prevent the toast being given
at the banquet doubtless stimulated the enthusiasm
which was manifested.
The MAYOR then rose, and proposed " The health of
the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland." He said that his Ex-
cellency was well known to them all. He bad been in
Ireland in 1835, and won the golden opinions of the
people of this country. Since then, after storing his
mind by travel in foreign countries, he had come home,
and was intrusted by her Majesty with the government
of Ireland. They all admired his virtues and high qua-
lities, and he was sure would respond to the toast.
His EXCELLENCY replied as follows :—I certainly do
think it a very great and crowning honour to the
warmth of welcome which I have experienced on my
first visit to the north of Ireland and the town of Bel-
fast to have had my name received as it has just been by
such a company as that which is now assembled here.
I seerariAtict me many men of large hereditary property
and high historic descent, members of all our leading
professions, including heroic ornaments of our military
circles. (Cheers.) I see dignitaries of the church and
lights of the law, and especially many of the enlight-
ened and spirited architects of their own fortunes, who
have nurtured the marvellous progress of Belfast and of
its whole adjacent region. (Hear.) lam conscious that
I sustain one great disadvantage from never having been
here before. I can perceive and can wonder at the in-
dications of activity, life, industry, and public spirit
which surround me on every side, but I cannot compare
the present with the past, from which it has emerged. I
can say much has been done, but I cannot rightly esti-
mate how much of that has been done by the active
hands and thinking heads which now throng your
streets and are gathered around this very board. I
cannot tell how rapidly achieved has been the con-
trast between the present aspect of your wards and
thoroughfares and that, period when the Lough only
gleamed between silent hills—when neither chim-
neys nor palaces fringed the sides of the Lagan. It
always mint to me to be rather a piece of Bur:it',
fluous impertinence when a stranger who has been
the last to arrive proceeds to drench those who
have all their lives been inhabitants of the place
with a copious dose of their own statistics. Belfast is
sufficiently provided with merchants, with manufac-
turers, with professors of science and literature, to fur-
nish all the information that can be needed respecting

its progress in commerce, manufactures, religion,wealtb,
and education. It has many useful and noble institu-
tutions for the instruction of youth and for the promo-
tion of the knowledge of religion. May it ever find a
great many to profit by them ! It has, I have witnessed
to-day, as good a prison as any in the land. May it find
very few to profit by it ! I have no doubt that, like
other great commercial communities, this district sus-
tains its periods of reverse and depression ; and I doubt
not that the terrific war which is now shaking Europe to
its centre must make itself felt in the conduct of busi-
ness as extensive as yours, and which leans so much upon
the supply of raw material from such a wide circumfer-
ence. What influence this ought to have upon the cul-
tivation of flax in your own fields I must leave to prac-
tical men to decide. But, while matters such as these
must be decided, and can only be decided, by considera-
tions of material interest, higher and more interesting
considerations have no weight at all. I have had the
opportunity of seeing how many of the men of Belfast,
of Antrim, of Down, and of Ulster, as well as of the
other Irish provinces, have returned from the seat of
war piteously wounded and disabled, but exhibiting es
much of patience and exemplary fortitude in their for-
lorn condition as they bad done of heroic daring in the
deadly breach and on the crimson battle-field. I make
no scruple to declare that every day that passes over
our heads makes me intensely long for the day when
the sword can be sheathed with honour ; and, as it is
the happy fortune of this country to be able, when its
sons assemble for festive purposes, to drink the
health of se many Sovereigns as its allies, I trust we
may see the day when a still longer list of toasts will
number every Sovereign in Europe without excep-
tion. But till the attainment of a peace which shall
be at once fair, safe, and honourable—(cheer.)—l feel
confident that, while our soldiers are thus prodigal of
life and limb, our citizens will be cheerful and resolute
in making the exertion with a struggle entails, and that
you, gentlemen of Ulster, will show yourse'ves as equal
to the sacrifices of war as you have in times past shown
yourselves able to reap the noblest laurels of peace.
With respect to my own share in the proceedings of this
evening, and to the two busy days which preceded and
follow it, you are, I believe, aware that I came hither
originally inure upon a matter of private and domestic
than of public, and certainly not in any degree what is
usually termed political concern. (Hear.) But, now that
we are assembled here in more formal guise, and more
after the usual manner of public assemblies, I feel con-
fident that no political difference will betray itself be-
tween us. In the higher and more true sense of poli-
tics, indeed—how to govern communities by the light of
temperate wisdom and in the paths of Heaven-directed
order—how to train citizens to the noblest purposes of
their existence—here, I trust, no essential difference
will be found among parties, however opposed, or
churches, however divided. In this respect we can all
widely benefit the country and the age to which we be-
long by cheerful obedience to the law of the realm, by
that spirit of conciliation, forbearance, and love which is
the higher law of Heaven. The condition of Ireland is
at present such, on the whole, as gives rise in my mind
to the strongest feeling of satisfaction and of hope. There
is generally a manifest decrease of outrage and crime,
with one or two occasional hideous exceptions, sufficient
to warn us, where human conduct is concerned, never to
presume. Agriculture is undergoing an immense develop-
ment, and it must be the task of many of you, gentlemen,
to see that our manufacturing processes exhibit the same
progress. New schools of education, new colleges of
learning, new temples of religion, are multiplying on every
side. The general condition of the people is strikingly
advanced in ease and comfort. They are better fed,
they are better clad, there is an infinitely greater pro-
portion of shoes and stockings—(laughter)—than when
I was here last, and the new complaint of Ireland is that
there are almost too few to work and too few mouths to
be fed. I have heard, indeed, lately something of new
arrivals being expected in this country from America.
Well then, gentlemen, will they be all Irishmen, returning
home to till their fields again, to work their looms again,
to kiss their wives and families again ? If so, we will
heartily bid them welcome provided they at least come in
some moderation. Can it be that they could come, that
any could come here with any hostile intention 1 I feel
sure that the gond sense, as well as the good feeling, of
all true-hearted Irishmen or Americans would repudiate
the monstrous supposition. (Loud cheers.) If, contrary
to all expectation and all reason, they would so come, I
ought not to say that they would be as welcome as the
others ; but of this I feel content—that the Antrim
Rifles, whom I left in Dublin, and the North Down
Rifles, whom I find in Belfast, will be able to give a very
good account of them. But we will, not let such
monstrous images mar our social harmony, and I would
rather leave you with bright impressions about you of
successful commerce, rewarded industry, restored peace,
and extended civilisation. These ideas connect themselves
permanently with the town of Belfast. The best way for
me to embody them is to ask of you to drink to the
health of it first magistrate, the chairman, who so ably
presides over the proceedings of this evening. (Cheers.)
Captain T. VERNER, Mayor, responded in a few ap-
propriate sentences.
Lord R. MONTAGUE, High Sheriff of Antrim, gave
the " Army and Navy," and prefaced it in a becoming
manner. " Our Gallant Allies," was proposed by Lord
MASSEREENE, and " the Memory of those who have
fallen in resisting the Aggressions of Russia" was given
by Mr. WHITESIDE, M.P., in a long and eloquent
speech. " Her Majesty's Ministers" followed ; and
" The House of Lords and Commons" was responded to
by Lord LONDONDERRY and Mr. KERR, M.P. Several
other toasts were given and responded to. The pro-
ceedings did not terminate till after midnight.
