own knowledge, that English emigrants are always .
welcome in Ireland and always prosperous. I cannot
sit down without alluding to the very great kindness
with which my election this day has been referred to.
I assure you I moat highly value and esteem the honour

The PRIME WARDEN then gave " The Health of Lord
Palmerston," an honorary member, whom the company
was always gratified to welcome. The Noble Lprd had
preserved peace in periods of difficulty, protected our
foreign commerce, and maintained the honour of the
country.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk amid great applause.
Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with loud and'
repeated cheers, spoke as followse—Mr. Prime Warden
and Gentlemen, I beg you to accept my most sincere
and heart-felt thanks for the honour you have done me.
—(Hear, hear.) I can assure you that lam proud of
having my health proposed as a member of this ancient
and excellent corporation—(Hear, hear)—and, as the
Prime Warden has been pleased to say that this is not
the first time I have had the honour of appearing among
you, I hope I may infer from the kind manner in which
you have received this toast that it will, also, eat be the
last time that I shall have the pleasure of meeting you.
—(Hear, hear.) The Prime Warden has been pleased
to allude in terms of flettering commendation to the ser-
vices which it fell to my lot to perform in the office
which I had for several years the honour to hold. If I
have succeeded, by the performance of the duties at-
tached to that office, in acquiring the good opinion
and esteem of my fellow-countrymen, I have
obtained the highest reward which any public
servant in this country can hope to be the recom-
pense of his labours—(Cheers)—and I can assure you,
gentlemen, that there is no portion of the people of this
country whose approbation I should be more proud to
receive than the approbation of this company, so well
known, and so eminently distinguished for those liberal,
enlightened, and constitutional principles which I have
myself admired, and humbly endeavoured to carry into
effect, as far as my public conduct has been concerned.
—(Hear.) Gentlemen, it has been my object, as the
Prime Warden has stated, as the organ of the Govern-
ment of which I was a member, to preserve the peace of
the counq without any derogation from its honour—
(Hear, heai)—and I trust, that, while on the ono hand
we have enjoyed for a great length of time an almost
previously unexampled continuance of the blessings of
peao:--I do trust, and I think I may say, on the other
hand, that the honour of the country has been invariably
.maintained—(Hear, hear)—and that the name of Eng-
lahrasn stands as rteudly now as it ever did in the
minds and the opinions Of the Topic of the other nations
of the world.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, one of the main
objects and first duties of the Government of this coun-
try in regard to our relations with foreign states must
undoubtedly be the extension of that commercial inter-
course, upon which is founded the wealth and the pros-
perity ot nations.—(Hear, hear.) To receive f:-cm the
body which I have the honour to address an expression
of opinion that the Government of which I was a humble
nieickr succeeded in their endeavours to promote com-
mercial intercourse hi-twcen this country and others, is a
higli and great gratification to me.—(Hear.) You have,
indeed, gentlemen, on the present occasion given us an
emblem of the success with which this country has la-
boured in that course. You have given us at your
festive board an example of the manner in which the
links of commerce draw together the most distant nations
of the world; for you have, as it were, shortened the
diameter of the earth into the narrow span of two
places at your table--(Cheers)—and we see here the
representatives of one of the most distant of our friendly._
