The CHAIRMAN next gave Thomas Thorneley, Esq.,
M.P., for Wolverhampton, and the Liberal Members of the
House of Commons.
Mr. THORNELY, in responding, said he was deeply im-
pressed with the honour done him in drinking his health,
and more especially so unexpectedly coupled as it was with
the Liberal Members of the House of Commons. A ques-
tion which might be asked at the present moment was—
" What ought to be the conduct of the Liberal House of
Commons."—(Hear.) He would say that it ought to be
a union for the purpose of keeping out the Tories.—
(Cheers.) In the measures to which he could wish them
to direct their attention, the first would be that they should
mete out to Ireland the same measures of justice as we
already enjoyed in England. Amongst these was the Irish
Municipal Reforms, which he had before voted for, and now
hoped to see carried soon after Parliament meets. Ano-
ther measure which he was anxious to see passed was the
Ballot.—(Loud cheering.) Another question of civil po-
licy which he felt called upon to support was a national sys-
tem of education. To keep the people in ignorance, and
yet to hold them responsible for their conduct, was an
anomaly which he could not understand the justice of.
There was a people on another soil who ought to hare an
early share too of their attention—he meant the unhappy
negroes of the West Indies.—( Hear.) Another question he
wished to see set at rest was that of a free trade. Man-
chester and Salford were two great manufacturing towns,
and sent their produce into every part of the world, but
received not in exchange the produce of those to whom
they sent their manufactures. England prohibited the corn
of all the world. His own notions of trade, founded upon
having examined its working in this country and in foreign
nations also, was that it ought to ba as free as the air.—
(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr. Walker,
114.?, for Bury, and justice and equal laws to all classes of
.her Majesty's subjects.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WALKER-was-received with lend cheers. No man
more heartily could wish for justice to Ireland than he did
—(Cheers)t—but.,_he saw near him one who would more
ably treat the subject than himself. No country bad ever.
been treated with the injustiCe which had. been shown to
Ireland. They had borne ivrongs it was true not
with the greatest .patience at times, but then they had sub-.
mitted to wrongs which no other country ever would have
submitted to.—(Hear.) Ile (Mr. Walker) entered fully
into the feelings of Ireland on the subject of her wrongs,
and as far as his humble abilities would permit, she would
find in him one zealous in her cause, so long as she had a
wrong to redress.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said he had omitted to mention before
that an invitation to the dinner had been forwarded to Mr.
O'Connell, but no answer had been received, and there was
reason to believe the invitation had not been received
sufficiently early. He would beg to propose as the next
toast the health of the Hon. Member for Waterford, Mr.
Wyse, and National Education.

Mr. WYSE rose amidst loud and hearty cheering. He
said he had left Ireland in consequence of their invitation
at an earlier period than he had intended ; and if for one
moment he had doubted the propriety of the step he had
taken, and the gratification he might receive in their corn;
pany, the first half hour be had spent with them would have
dissipated it.—(Cheers.) He came there on public grounds
—grounds of deep interest to the united empire.—(Hear,
hear.) Had they not declared this night by the applause
they had bestowed on him (Air. W.) and the sentiment which
had been associated with his name—had they not declared
in the face of Tory misrule that there should be no repeal
of the Union ? Every thing which ho had witnessed
this night recalled to him the feelings of his own country,
and convinced him that they were of one heart and one
mind ; that they were fighting in the same cause ; and that
they had determined to stand by the cause of Ireland, so
long as Irishmen stood by theirs.—(Cheers.) When Ire-
land found that she could hope for nothing from this coun-
try but wrongs and injustice, she naturally wished for a
repeal of the Union ; but he had ever trusted that better
days for her were not distant, and had believed that the
two countries were not destined to be separated. For this
reason he had looked forward to better times, and at the
expense of his seat for Tipperary had opposed the repeal.
