COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.
—A most interesting and successful experiment was
made on Tuesday last to demonstrate the advantages of
restoring the short sea passage between Great Britain
and Ireland. The Telegraph steamer made the run from
Blackhead in Ireland, to Corswall Point, in Scotland,
in an hour and 40 minutes. A deputation of Belfast
merchants, headed by Mr. Thomson, of the Belfast
Bank ; Mr. Bates, city clerk of Belfast ; Alderman
—, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Coly, and others, waited
immediately on the Provost of Stranraer, and held a
conference with the municipal authorities on the sub-
ject. Their proposal is to carry a line of railway from
Cairnryan to Girvan on one side, and to Castle Douglas
on the other, to join the lines now in preparation from
.Ayr and Dumfries. The proposition was cordially
received, and if the proprietors along the proposed lines
come forward at once, and in a proper spirit, we see no
reason to doubt that these undertakings, which are of
such vital importance to Galloway and Carrick, may be
speedily carried out.—Dumfries Herald.

cheering.) He could not say one word more on the pre-
sent occasion, than that they had a right to share in all
the wealth, and all the glory and prosperity that great
empire with which they were associated could attain.
They had that evening the Lords of the Admiralty—
(cheers)—and he might venture to say that fifty years
ago intelligence could not have been sent from Cork, as
the movements of the fleet from that harbour had been
sent with the same rapidity to the Lords of the Admi-
ralty. They could now have more certain intelligence
of what the fleets in the Dardanelles were doing from
Cork than they could have some years since from White-
hall. After expressing his sense of the high compliment
paid him upon such an occasion, Mr. Butt sat down
loudly applauded.
The CHAIRMAN rose after a short pause, and said,
that the next toast on his list had a peculiar interest on
the present occasion, when they had the members of the
sister services, the army and navy, present. (Loud
cheers.) It would be churlish on the part of civilians to
trace the respective interests and duties of those two
powers which formed the might of this great empire ;
every Christian country and every wise government
should use its best exertions to promote peace and con-
cord in the world ; but in the present condition of the
world, and the peculiar temper of certain states, when
the peace of the world was threatened,.it was most satis-
factory that they had those two great powers to depend
on for the maintenance of the honour and the indepen-
dence of the country. (Cheers.) He then gave the
" Army and the Navy."
The toast was received with the most enthusiastic ap-
plause.

Air—" The British Grenadiers."
Rear-Admiral Carroll and General Mansell both
briefly returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast ef the evening,
" Sir James Graham and the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty," eulogised in high terms the public ser-
vices of Sir James Graham. He alluded to the pledge
asked, and the promise given, that nothing of a political
character should be introduced. His worship said that
Sir James Graham had only expected what was right in
the matter by acting as he had done, and observed that
if the right hon. gentleman had only known as he had
done le-would npiklifixe-Re*ed the_pledgz.
' Sir JANES GgAXAM rose to respond; and, after the
enthusiastic cheering with which he was received had
subsided, said—Mr. Mayor, my lords, and gentlemen,
it is almost unseemly to begin with apologising when
the cordiality with which you have received the toast
just proposed from the chair demands a sincere expreis-
sion of my thanks ; but after what has fallen from' the;
hon. member for Youghal, and from your worthy chief"
magistrate of this 'city, I think a few words of apology
are due from meat the commencement of what I atm.
about to say. - It would seem that there had been some.
misunderstanding of the pledge which I sought to ob
tab before I accepted, on behalf of the Board of Ad-
miralty, the' kind invitation with which you honoured
us. -Vett' wprthy mayor has rightly explained the mo-
tives which actuated me in seeking that pledge. Her
Majesty's navy knows no politics. (Hear, hear.)
They have bat one duty, which is the defence-of our'
common country, and, united with her Majesty's army,'
they are prepared, without distinction of party—with-
out any knoWledge of political differences—at all times,
and in all circumstances, faithfully to do their duty
to their common. country. (Hear, hear.) It would
appear unseemly, therefore, to have exposed either of
these gallant professions, who accepted your invitation
with cordiality and with confidence, to any expressions of
political difference. (Hear.) As your'' worthy chief'
magistrate has remarked, the highest personage in the
state, the consort of her Majesty, has wisely and pru-
dently abstained from all interference in political affairs.
It has been my duty, during a long political life, to take
an active part in those matters which are naturally in-
volved in political differences, and I did fear that in my
own person, after all that has occurred during the lapse
of that long period, I might by my presence excite
somewhat of angry feeling. (No, no.) That was my
fear, which your kindness to-night, however, has entirely
dissipated. kHear, hear.) But I thought it prudent,
under the circumstances to which I have referred, to
ask an assurance in the manner I have mentioned. My
friend, the honourable member for Youghal; has ob-
served, and with remarkable truth and justice, that
whatever may have been the difference which existed on
some sub)ects, ju4ny cherished prejudices have been dis-
sipated and laid ,aside—(hear, hear)7—but there is one
prejudice which is still strong and common to all; that
is the confidence in the naval profession, over which the
worthy Admiral presides, and the earnest desire that its
flag shall brave as heretofore,. " the , battle and the
breeze" untarnished and invincible. (gear, and cheers.)
Now, gentlemen, it has been the endeayour of successive
governments to use all the,mi,dern appliances of science,
and all the improveme4o.4hiai that science has
effected, to increase the eMeienej" of that gallant pro-
lee!don, and I and my eoltfttles tkilijalit that it would
be agreeable to the Irish 'T3COple=.(FeliiT bear)—in this,
one of the most splendid ports of the empire, to see a
British fleet in that state of preparation of which I am
proud to say it is a bright example. (Hear.) Now,
gentlemen, foreign navies may multiply, and foreign
empires may totter and may fall, but it is the duty
of the British Government to see that native arm
of its strength always ready for the defence of our
native country—(hear, hear)—and, if it be so ready,
and, let me add, if peace at home be preserved, and
if we are united among ourselves, as we are this
evening—(hear, hear)—we have no reason to fear the
world in arms. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) But,
gentlemen, I beg you not to mistake. Although con-
nected intimately with the naval profession—a profession
of arms, I am certain that I speak the sense of my col-
leagues when I say that, though always prepared, our
most earnest and most anxious desire is to preserve the
peace of Europe, and to take care that while treaties are
religiously observed— (hear, hear) —that while there
shall be no meddling interference with the domestic con-
cerns of foreign countries, the honour of England, the
interests of England, and the commerce of England, and
of Ireland and Scotland, and the United Kingdom, shall
be maintained in every part of the world, far as those
distant countries washed by the furthest seas to which
our commerce and our flag has access. (Hear.) It is
in the spirit of peace that those preparations are made ;
and I am confident that while Lord Aberdeen presides
over the councils of our Sovereign, every effort will be
made in the spirit of peace to maintain the honour and
character of this country. (Hear, hear.) Something
was said with respect to another pledge of abstaining
from asking any pledge from me with reference to the
interests of the harbour of Cork as connected with the
public expenditure. Now, gentlemen, I came here to
return thanks, and not to read a lecture--(hear, and
laughter)—but I must say this, that my experience of
public affairs has led me to this conclusion, that the less
the people of this country—lreland included—rely on
the efforts of Government, and the more they rely upon
their own exertions—(loud cheers)—the more certain is
their success, and the more honourable will be the re-
ward of their industry. Now, what shall I say ? Re-
ference has been made to the Great Exhibition in London

--that which certainly exalted the character of this
country throughout the world —and that which will pro-
duce a permanent effect upon its future industrial efforts,
was that a work of Government ? It was a work—the
independent work of the industrious people of this
country. Take again the Exhibition in this your own
city, which led to a most splendid Exhibition in the
metropolis of Ireland. That was an effort of the
people of Cork, unaided by any administration, that
splendid Exhibition, which I am on my way to
visit, after my official labours are over—is the splendid
exhibition in Dublin the work of an administration ?
Was that aided by any government money? It is the
work, the almost unaided work, of a single citizen—(en-
thusiastic cheering),—whose name will be handed down
as one of the benefactors of his country, and as a bright
example to the people of Ireland. (Hear.) He feels
that he has an honourable title to the gratitude of his
countrymen, and he has therefore refused, as I am told,
any other honour ; but he received the graceful compli-
ment of a visit from the first lady of the realm—her
Majesty in person—as a mark of how highly she appre-
ciates the spontaneous efforts of an industrial spirit. On
my first arrival in Cork I was gratified extremely by
taking part in one of those works to which the govern-
ment has given some aid—a small work, but useful to
the harbour of Cork. (Hear, hear.) Well, I was asked
yesterday, not for any aid out of the public money, to
give the consent of the Admiralty—merely the consent,
not to give a negative to vast improvements about to
be commenced in this harbour, the piers, and docks,
which will be a proof of the industry of the community.
Well, that is what is in progress. Between Queens-
town and this very city there are docks and other most
magnificent works to be commenced, unaided by public
money. There are many marks, I am glad to see, of
that returning prosperity which the hon. member for
Youghal has adverted to, and those marks of prosperity
are intimately connected with the doctrine which I have
been maintaining. It was feared that the alterations
and resolutions lately made in trade would bear hardly
upon the people of Ireland. (Hear.) Well, now they
have entered into competition. The great staple trade
of this city was the provision trade. I feared that
foreign competition would overpower it : but let us come
to particulars. The navy contracts have been, by the
alterations lately introduced, brought within the power
of the smaller contractors resident in this city, in the
neighbourhood of the market. The public of Ireland, re-
turning to the provision trade, have outstripped allforeign
traders—(hmr)—and I am told by those persons who
manage the contracts and inspect the provisions, that
the marked improvement, both in the beef and pork
of the country, is most extraordinary ; and that within
two years the quality of both is so improved as scarcely
to be worthy of comparison with all they have hereto-
fore produced even in this city, which was the centre of
the provision trade ; which clearly shows that the
agri-
culture of Ireland has, within the last four or five years,
made extraordinary improvements. And although this
may appear insignificant to many, it is of those small
cares that the interests of the community are composed,
and by which the wealth and future prosperity of the
people will be secured. Now; your mayor has told you
