countries. He was not one who wished to endanger proper::-.
because there was no country in the world that cos:
endure a civil war less than England. Why did he s
so? Because three or four thousand °fits inhabitants depend.
for their subsistence on weekly wages. What would hewn
of them ,f their provisions were stopped? What would be 11
effect of stopping the factories? Why millions would be left
starve. It was, therefore, absurd to talk of physical force whet
society was so artificial as in England. The friends of rei
liberty were the enemies of disorder, and they were driveller
who supposed that they could rat down pacific and determine'•
men, by talking of torch-light and daggers. The triumph cf
mind over matter was extending—and the day vr
not far distant when he hoped to see the dearest objects he ha
in view, viz., the good of Ireland perfectly realized.—( Here th
Hon. and Learned Gentleman sat down amidst tremenou
cheering.)
HYDE returned thanks.
The healths of the Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Kew
were then drunk amidst cheers, together with those of ih'
other members of the Royal Family in England.
Mr. FITZGERALD then proposed the health of Mr. O'Con•
nell, the Father of Precursors, and the Liberator of Ireland,
He hoped that he would live long to see his best wishes realin d
and that when he was summoned hence he might change hi
present age for the greenness of immortal youth.
Mr. O'CONNELL, in returning thanks, deprecated the union
of Church and State, as being inconsistent with the Irtt
interests of the people.—(Cheers ) The Hon. Gentlemln
then went on to animadvert upon the course pursued by the
Times newspaper, in the course of which he alluded to some of tip
conductors of that establishment in terms which we abstain roe
mentioning. He concluded by expressing his thanks for th
honour that had been conferred upon him.

Mr. MAGUIRE re7urned thanks. He was appointed to returi

wounded feelings of Ireland on the departure of Lord Nor-
manby, than sending to replace that Nobleman, Lord Fortes-
cue—for next to Mr. O'Connell no man had ever done so noel
for Ireland as Lord Normanby.—(Loud cheers.) Any en'
that doub's the immensity of good which he has done, let hin.
look to the affectionate regrets of a people who are ever olive
to anything in the shape of jzstiee.— ( Loud cheers.) Let
Lord Fortescue only go forth in the same path —le
him only proceed in that calm and impartial court
which his predecessor had already plainly marked 60
for him—(Hear, hear)—let him take care to keep from flies"
who ever made it their study to retard the approach of anythinl
like happiness—( Hear)—for, after all, those people are 110
English or Scotch, they are the spurious offspring of her (

Mr. Hoc AN spoke to this toast. He wMs
as sorry . the

all here would join h im.—( Hear, and cheering.) He %ca:.
Chartist.—(Partial hissing.) He did not care for their sneak(
ing hisses. He was a Chartist in the t:uest sense of
word ; but he must say that he did not join: the plan raj

Mr. O'CONNELL said he was happy that but aneu'e,
toast remained alter the one which he was al)°,
to give. It was the health of the Liberal Membe' 417
Parliament, four of whom honoured them this night with the'.
presence.—(Hear.) Namely, Mr. O'Brien, of Clare;
Browne of Mayo; Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, of Kerry, "J!`i
Mr. Bridgman, of Ennis. Like Sir Peter Laurie, when he sat
that Irish potatoes could speak for themselves, he left these gee
tlemen to do the same thing, but he could not in those natne•
have that of Lord Brougham, who although half his We r
Liberal, had lately not given n.uch token of his desire to con-
tinue in the same way. The health of those gentleman
given with much satisfaction.
Mt. DILLON BROWN, M.P., felt much gratified in hairier
his name coupled in the honours of the evening. Not from an),
honour that accrued to himself, but because he saw English an"'
Scotch men unitedin endeavouring to obtain justice for Ireland'
This he again said, was more honourable because it came fon?
the middle classes—those classes who ever bad done what n's
most conducive to the cause of liberty.—( Hear, hear.) If le!
to the depraved aristocracy of the country, little would be eb"
tained to ameliorate the condition of the oppressed.—(
hear.) Every man should do his best in his own sphere to pi,*°,
mote the cause for which they assembled.—( Hear, hear.) I
represented 400,000 persons, who every one were determined

join in seeking to obtain that freedom for which they all cone
tended. He did not care for the repeal of the Corn-laws, °
for the reduction of the Irish Church Establishment, nate'
these measures were accompanied by a reform of those eisad-ll
ments, which set bounds to the rights ot the people in mal‘n.l7
those laws by which they were to be governed. He was a'
advocate for Universal Suffrage—he was an advocate f°'
the Charter in all its principles, but he was not f°
the adoption of those means which the Chartists think is neees
sary to obtain those principles.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.
The Tories want to govern the country for the benefit of the `es'
The Whigs think to govern the country by pretending to gover'
for the benefit of the many.—(Hear, hear.) Both hs'
little commiseration with them. Universal Suffrage
the only remedy to be applied for all the evils
those factions entailed on the country—( Hear, hear.) 13
He was for Vote by Ballot, the arguments in favour of which
would not at this late hour detail to them.—( Hear and No'
He was for a total abolition of tithes : in testimony )of wine
he only recurred to the votes of last Session.—( Dear, hear. '

He besought them to lay aside all those thoughts which nail
in any manner contribute to upheld the means by which
Chartists sought to work out their objects.—( Hear and cheers
Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Brit!'
man also spoke to this toast in neat and appropriate speedo,'
the latter gentleman declaring that he was always a supitorr
ot the principles of the People's Charter.
Mr. O'CONNELL next gave the " Health of t',
Treasurer and Stewards." In all his experience•--a"
all would allow that he had much in the way of dinner agitatie.
