The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said—Genfifitrtrd
now call upon you to fill your glasses to the brim, " and
no mistake." We have arrived.at the all-absorbing toast
of the evening--" The Health of Sir William Brabazon,
our excellent RePresentative, and Guest."—,-(Loud and
vehement cheering:) " I willingly confess that, in propo-
sing this toast, I experience sensations of mingled pleasure
and pain. The subject is one which I almost fear tp .\
proach, and a theme far beyond my humble abiliticitnne
political conduct of Sir William Brabazon is well knotvn
to you all—he has been tried, and weighed in the ba-
lance of public opinion, and I am indeed proud tz.•• say that
he has not been found wanting.—( Herr, hear, and loud
cheers.) Weie I possessed of the eloquence of my
friend, Counsellor O'Dond, might probably be able to
expatiate in a becoming manner on the exemplary con-
duct of Sir William, both in political and private life ;
but as I am " few in words," I must simply 'content myself
with expressing from my heart and soul, my 'entire con-
currence and appri.bation in his Parliamentary career.
To speak. with regard to his conduct as a landlord in this
county, would indeed be superfluous on my part, as his
kindness has been so often experienced, and is so Well ap-
preciated—but I shall refer to the line of policy pursued
by him during the past Session. When the interests el
his country, and more particularly of Mayo, were con-
cerned, Sir William was ever to be found at his post—
and be never missed an opportunity of voting for any
measure which he conceived would tend to the prosperity
of Ireland. Gentlemen, with these few observations, I
give you
" The health of Sir William Br4azon, M. p., our
excellent Representative and esteemed friend."
The health of Sir William was drank with the most rap
turous and reiterated bursts of app,lause. Cheer folz
lowed cheer, and the scene was one of heart-stirring de-
scription. •
Sir William Brabazon arose, and was , again greeted
with the most enthusiastic and . vehement demon-
strations, which lasted tor" some mintites. When, the
thunders of applause had in some degree .died,
away, he said,—" Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Chair-
fmecl

kindness has given rise incapacitate me frcnn
expressing my gratitude in a manner at all suitable
to my wishes. Most gratifying to me are thole proofs
that my put politica conduct has been in unison with

your wishes and expectations, and I feel_not s Iltat proud
that my humble exertions in battling for toy canary's
rights and liberties, have not remained unnoticed by you.
Gentlemen, it is, I presume, hardly necessary for me to
mention, that ever since I took part in the political affairs
of Mayo, I have advocated her rights, and struggled for
her independence ; and I am vain enough to think that
I have, in a great degree, been instrumental in ren-
dering your county as independent as she is--(Htenr,
hear, and loud cheers. )—a measure which all mail
confess is absolutely and essentially necessary for pant
happiness, prosperity, and welfare.—(Load erica 9/
" Hear, hear.") The Hon. Baronet continued to speak g
considerable length on the independence of the County
Mayo ; and having reviewed the condition of that county
within the last ten years, he next proceeded to detail tlia
principal features of his political conduct since he entered
Parliament. With regard to my Parliamentary
career (said Sir William Brabazon), I think it oar
safely be asserted by me, that I never performed any
one action which was incompatible or inconsistent

with the welfare, prosperity, and liberty of Ireland; on
the contrary, I always made it my study to contribute in
every possible way towards those measures which I con-
ceived tended to the amelioration of my country. That
great political measure, the Reform question, had
my strenuous support, and I am, and ever was, in
favour of the Vote by Ballot. On the manner
in which Ministers acted with regard to this question, I
am not disposed at present to speak in harsh terms—
but this I do maintain, that the Vote by Ballot is the
great bulwark, the heart's-blood of the Reform measure..
Sir Wm. Brabazon then alluded to the dissatisfaction
which his vote on the Jamaica question had given to some
of his constituents, and assigned his reasons for opposing
Ministers on the subject; he said that he was particularly
anxious to address sonic words to the electors of: Mayo
with regard to the line of policy adopted by him on
this occasion, and he felt confident that after he
had done so, all doubt would be dispelled from
their minds. The substance of the Jamaica Bill was
neither more nor less than to deprive a country of its
representative body. This was the measure be had
opposed, and he did so from conscientious motives ;
he reflected on Ireland, and his conviction that he
had acted honestly and impartially increased, "I felt
within myself, said Sir William, that if Jamaica' were
deprived of her representative Parliament, her hap-
piness, her prosperity, and her independence, would
naturally vanish. I imagined what a • country
would be bereft of these, and I voted against, the Minis-
ters.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) In a few days 1 re-
turn to London to resume my Parliamentary duties--
and a question of a similar nature to the Jamaica one will
be brought under the consideration of the House of
Commons ; an attempt will be made to do away with
the Gevernment and free Constitution of the Ca-
nadas. I now wish to know from my constituents
how they would wish me to act--for unless you tell me, I
will not vote with Ministers, to deprive any country-of her
representative Government. On the contrary, my bumble
exertions shall he directed in opposing any measure of the
kind.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I voted for a liberal
education of the poor.—( Hear.) I conceived that measure
would tend to ameliorate the condition of my countrymen—
and if my polar star guided me in the wrong- course, I come
bare to be set right.-4 Applause.) As I said before, I
am about resuming my parliamentary dutias-and If these
is any measure which say' constituents arc anxious should
be carried into effect, I will aupport it heart.esid hod.
You have but io suggest it, in order to enlist my advocacy.
I am sorry that I go to Parliament single handed—bat
perhaps it is better not to dwell on this topie. The Rail.
way question was next adverted to by Sir \V. Brabaxos.
The Ministers, he said, had held out this Measure
as a dupe to the people—they but raised We 4- to the
lips, and then dashed it, _ from. them, r-AVith !meet* the
poet-raiivse'EC;rriSialwaysaciverst to their introduction into
Ireland ; but now that they bad become the law of the
land, he was anxious that no opposition should be given to
them, as he felt satisfied that the measure would not be. of
long duration. Again, Gentlemen, Ibe to return jell
my thanks.—(The lion, and Learned Baronet then sat
down amidst a burst of enthusiasm, like that which re.
ceived him on rising, and which baffles all description.)
" The health of our excellent Chairman, and my friend,
' Joseph M'Donnell, Esq., Doe Castle."—(Great applause,
and drank with all the honours.)
Mr. *Dos:cent. returned thanks, and said that ble felt
himself under deep obligations for the kind mantisr In
which his health had been proposed, and the equally flat-
tering reception it bad met with at the hands of the cats-
pany. Hu trusted that he never would be found wanting
when his country required his assistance. With the men
of Gallen he felt peculiar gratification in being identified,
and he hoped that as long as he breathed the breath of life,
his connection with those honest fellows would not cease.

The CHAIR/4A N, after a short interval had,clapsed, pro-
posed in appropriate language, " The health of the second
Representative of the County Mayo, Robt. Dillon Browoe,
Esq."—( Drank with all the honours and loud cheering.)
Tho Rev. Mr. Hrc►iEs, P. P., Clarcmorris, spoke to
this toast at considerable length, and concluded by ex

pressing a hope that the Comity Mayo might long continue
to be represented by Mr, Browne.
The CHAIRMAN next gave, after some prefatory remarks,
" The Catholic Hierarchy and Clergy of Ireland."—
( Drank with rapturous applause. )
The Rev. Mr. COLEMAN being loudly called on from all
parts of the room, responded to this toast, and eulogised
in glowing and deserving language the body of which. he
had the honour of being a member.
The next toast which the CHAIRMAN said it fell to. his
lot to propose, was that of an honest, high-minded, and
Liberal Protestant—an exemplary and charitable man—
one whose name was to be found connected with every

liberal measure, and who was foremost on all occasions ti)

" Tho lion. and Rev. Dean Gore."
The announcement of this toast was, the ,signal for the
most•onthusiastic cheering, and the health of this exem-
plary and beloved man was drank in a manner-worthy of
his name and patriotic conduct.
Tho Hon. and Rev. Dean Gore rose to return thanks,
and the scene of spirit-sti-ring enthusium was again re-
newed. When silence was in some degree restored, he said
that he could not find words capable of expressing his gra-
titude for the honour done him, but he felt a peculiar pride •
in being possessed of the universal and individual friend
ship of those around him. The praise which my friend,
the Chairman, has lavished on me, I cannot possibly lay
claim to—but I shall endeavour to merit even a very
humble portion of h s culogiurn.—( Hear, hear, and
cheers.) I know not how or in what manner I can at-
tempt to express my gratitude for the favours which you
confer on me, but believe mo that those favours
will be an additional stimulant to my exertions in Oae
cause of liberality.—(Cheers.) I confess that I am at-
tached to the faith and doctrines of my forefathers. In that
faith will I live and die—( Cheers)—but I think it
would indeed ill become me on that account to entertain .
a hostile, invidious, or bad feeling towards those hold-
ing different tenets or opinions.--(Loud cheers.) Did
I, Sir, even cherish such unchristian-like prin-
ciples, the recollection that my worthy father had
voted for the emancipation of Roman Catholics, would in
itself be sufficient to dispel them.—(Cheers.) I have evne
been the advocate of purely liberal principles. lamso at
present—rind I shall always combat for civil and religions
liberty—equality to all--ascendancy to none.--(Cheers.)"'
Sir W. Brabazon I conscientiously believe to be as bone"_
sterling and upright man—an excellent and worthy repre-
sentative. On this account, at former elections, I gave
him my humble but ardent support • and I feel a sincere
pleasure in reflecting that Sir William's parliamentary
career has been such as obtained the well merited com-
mendation of his constituents. (The Hon. and Re,.
Dean sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheering.) •
The CHAIRMAN proposed,
" The Freedom of Election, and the Indepetscleace of
Mayo."—( Loud cheering, and drank with nine timeellrsne.)
Counsellor O'Down responded to the toast.
" The health of the Hon. P. Cavendish, and the Isiberal
Press of Ireland."

The following toasts were afterwarils given:—
" Daniel Jones, Jun., Esq., of Banada."
The health of " Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M:P„ the
Man of the People, and the Regenerator of his Country."
Responded to in the most soul-stirring and vehement
manner by the company.
" Lord Teynham," a man who at all times evinced the
greatest anxiety to increase the prosperity of the Irish
people.
Several other toasts were then proposed, and responded
to by excellent speeches from gentlemen present:
