,FOYER, CLOWN, and BAND in COURT.
DEAN v. SOYER.—The plaintiff in this action sought,
in the Brompton County Court, to recover 151. for the
hire of a band of musicians on the opening-day of the
Great Exhibition, the let of May. The King of Cuisines
demurred to the charge as being exorbitant, inasmuch as
Mr. Grattan Cooke, the leader of the 2d Life Guards'
band, had furnished the Symposium with celestial

into difficulties ; for, to amuse the Emperor of Gore
House and his suite, Mr. Flexmore bounded over an
eight feet wall into a laundry. His apparition so scared„
the wash-tubs that the cries of " Murder" and f 0 Thieves
brought the "bobbies" before he could bound back
again, and Police-constable 85 introduced Mr. Flexmore
to the Judge amidst a round of merriment. He deposed
to being a friend of M. Soyer's, who intrusted him to
engage a band for the opening of the Symposium. He
accordingly engaged Mr. Dean, who bad the first
orchestra in London, and that gentleman attended at
defendant's place on the Ist of May, and played from
eleven to six. M. Soyer afterwards said that he was
glad he sent the band, and was delighted with their
performance. From what he knew of the customary

doing an injustice to himself, his profession, and M.

deposed to their playing, and to the terms being very rea-
sonable, M. Soyer said he resisted the demand, first, from
non-liability; and, secondly, from exorbitance. It was
true, Mr. Flexmore spoke to him about the band, but he
thought Mr. Flexmore must have laboured under a mis-
take when he stated that which he had. He was pestered
with applications from orchestral leaders, and he be-
lieved, at the time he gave Mr. Flexmore permission to
send some wind—(Laughter)—that it was done to coax
him, by their strains, to give them a permanent engage-
ment. He, however, had engaged another band, and
who, upon finding the band of Mr. Dean upon the
grounds, at once became jealous, and refused to blow a
reed or whack a drum.—(Loud laughter.) His company

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a court was held for the dispatch of
public business.

INQUESTS IN CASES OF FIRE•
The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the fol-
lowing communication from the Coroner of Lon-
don :

" My Lord and Gentleman,--As I shall not have
occasion to render any further accounts to the Corpo-
ration on the subject of inquests in cases of house
burning, I beg respectfully to ask what course this
Honourable Court proposes to adopt respecting the
two years' expenses, already laid before it in accord-
ance with the sanction of the corporation in former
years, and of which the Finance Committee have re-
commended the payment.
" I also request permission to mention that the in-
quiry into the cause of the late extensive fire in South-
wark (the expenses of which are to be paid by Messrs.
Wigan, whose property is destroyed) was productive
of this good result, that the Secretary of State, on be-
ing made acquainted with the verdict of the coroner's
jury, immediately acted upon it, and communicated
to me his intention of offering to reward for the dis-
covery of the guilty party, with a promise of her Ma-
jesty's pardon to any party concerned who would aid
such discovery, except the person who actually set fire
to the premises.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord and
" Gentlemen, your faithful servant,
" WILLIAM PAYNE, Coroner.

" Inner Temple, Sept. 25."
Mr. ANDERTON said the subject of the letter was
of such a nature as ought not to be slightly passed
over. It involved a matter of considerable impor-
tance, particularly in such a place as the city of
London, and he should therefore move that it be re-
ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee.
Mr. Dams seconded the motion, in the belief that
the inquiries alluded,p,i4ethe letter were deeply in-
teresting to the citizens of London.—(Hear, hear.)
The only opposition which existed to the holding of
such inquests arose from the apprehension of unlimi-
ted expense. •
Mr. WHITE said he had been chairman of the com-
mittee, to which the subject had been previously
referred, and he could vouch for the fact that the
principle was agreed to; but there arose a question
whether the inquests were strictly legal.
Several members, in announcing their dissent, said
that the question had already been disposed of, and
ought therefore to be dropped for ever.
Mr. HENRY BLAKE said that the letter ought to be
referred to the committee, in justice to the writer, as
well as to the public.
Mr. T. H. HALL said the Recorder had declared
that courts held upon the occasion referred to were
decidedly illegal, and the Court had been almost
unanimous in the opinion that the question should not
be entertained.—(Hear.)
The letter was then by a large majority referred
to the committee.

The first notice upon the paper of business was
Mr. Deputy Harrison's to consider the remaining
propositions in the report, " For an amendment of
the Election Act Amendment Act," and it was ex-
pected that most of the day would be occupied in dis-
cussion on that question.
Mr. DAKIN (the chairman of the Royal Entertain-
ment and Exhibition Committee), however, obtained
permission of the Court to introduce the report upon
her Majesty's late most gracious visit to the City.
He said—" Seeing the important matters for the con-
sideration of the Court which are upon the paper of
business before the report which I have the honour to
bring up, and which was ready for publication imme-
diately after the recess, may I ask the indulgence of
the Court in taking it now, which, though rather out
of the order of business, may,
,perhaps be justified, as
it will enable the public to judge of" the facts con-
nected with the royal entertainment, concerning which
so much has been unfairly and untruly stated. It is
my intention to move that the report be printed, and
a copy be sent to every member of the Court, with all
the items of expenditure, and the names of all the
guests not connected with the Corporation, to the
number of 1,452, printed at length. The Court
will , perceive that the committee has confined its
expenditure within the estimate, a circumstance which
will no doubt be gratifying to my friend Mr. Taylor,
and to all those who ventured to prophesy that

10,0001. or 15,0001. would be expended upon the oc-
casion. The Court voted 5,2501., and we have of
that sum returned 1291.55. ad. to the City exchequer.
—(Cheera.) When it is considered that we had
merely bare walls to deal with, that our ball-room
bad to be formed and decorated in a manner worthy
of so great an occasion, and of the noble and illus-
trious persons who honoured the City with their pre-
sence, that all the arrangements were upon the most
complete and liberal scale, I think the committee
may take praise for a judicious economy in the out-
lay of their funds, and I wish to express my admira-
tion of the taste and resources shown by our accom-
plished architect, Mr. Bunning, and the untiring
energy and exertion manifested by him upon this
occasion.—(Hear, hear.) It has been most gratify-
ing to your committee to receive on all hands, from
the Sovereign as well as the mass of our fellow-citi-
zens, the assurance that the arrangements we were
enabled to make on so novel and interesting an occa-
sion were most efficient for their purpose ; and I
will venture to say, that :never has a public enter-
tainment been given, in which so much enjoyment
was conferred upon so great a number at so small a
cost.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WOODTHORPE then read the report.

Mr. DAKIN—The report just read will convey to
the Court the numbers and names of the invited
guests not connected with. the corporation, as in the
nature of things it was impossible to invite all whom
we desired to be our guests. The selection was a most
difficult and delicate portion of our duty. We had
an intimation from the highest quarter that it would
be gratifying to see the largest number of her loyal
subjects that could be accommodatel, and we pro.
seeded, at a considerable,
with all the information we could command, to select,
on the principle of representation, a certain number of
names of those who stood foremost in their respective
walks of life.—(Cheers.) expenditure of time, and
Their names are all given
in the report, which will be printed and available to
public inspection, and the number of tickets issued
may be thus classified :

Royal and distinguished
Persons including mem-
bers of the Legislature ... ... 474

polis.. ... 106

Members of the press... .
••• •.• • . ... 9
As nearly as possible corresponding to the estimate
of numbers given when I h the honour of submit-
ting the proposal to the Court.—(Cheers.) I think
the Court may congratulate itself on having in a
becoming manner identified itself with an event which
has been a source of great delight to the whole
country, and which bears lasting marks in the history of
our country, and of the whole world; and I cannot but '
regret that such an occasion should be chosen by a
portion of the press of this country to attack, in the
most unjust and ungracious manner, this corporation.
--(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I will take this
opportunity, which I think fairly belongs to me,
after the imputations which writers in the Times
have thrown out, to show, when brought to the
test of fact, how uncalled for they are. I did ven-
ture, when the body to which I belong was stigma-
tised as ,fi jobbers,' and accused of " shameless ex-
penditure of trust money,to delay, for myself and for
you, the charge, and to challenge the proof; but when
anonymous writers call for names and numbers, and
affect to believe that _twenty-five talented,
learned, and
distinguished individuals were not included in one list,
and then, as if that were too diffieult, call for 12, I
d
did not feel called upon to epartfrom the usual course
in producing the report which is now before you,
showing not 12 or 25, but 1,452 ,'lte admitted on that
occasion—(Cheers)—and regret.to say that the whole
was dictated by
line of remark ts desire, first to de-
fame, and then to destroy, anhancient and important
institution.— (Cheers.) In
blame
their inconsistency, the
writers I allude to one day us for reckless ex-
penditure, and when it suits their Purpose they alter '
the accusation into a charge of !meanness and parsi- '
mony.—(llear, hear.) Surely this, is not the mode
in which a principal journal, w hich greets to lead the
opinion of the people, should
it has deal with an important
If
constitutional question.
institutions, or the mode of aaministering them, let it'
raise the question fairly, not make assertions which
are not borne out by facts, or propound crude theories
which will never be carried out in practice. It seems
to point at the assimilation of the municipality of
London to that of Paris—that the Lord Mayor
should be appointed by the crown-~.that the 36
councillors should be appointed by one-sixth of
their fellow-citizens, made up of a large amount
of pensioners and placemen in fad, a body
springing from lthe Government, and depending on
the Government, and dealing with som four millions
of revenue derived from taxation on the necessaries of
life entering into their city. If that is to be the
model institution to us, let those writers fairly state
it, and we will put against it what we hare done,
what we are doing, and what we are to do.—.(Lowl
cheers.) If they adopt another course, and say as
they have said, that the whole of this, metropolis be

converted into one constituency, I should like to
know how the Parliament or the Government would
relish the change. What influence could the repre-
sentations of two millions and a quarter of metropo-
litan inhabitants have upon the Imperial Parliament ?
How would that influence be consistent with their
free deliberations, or the free exercise of the functions
of government?—(Hear, hear.) If these questions
are fairly rased, it will be for this Corporation to show
how busily and economically they, have discharged
their public trusts. It will be for this Corporation
to repel, as it is able to do, all vague charges of job-
bing and corruption, and to challenge to the proof
thoso who seem so desirous of first defaming, and
then destroying, an ancient and important public
body.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. L. TAYLOR said the course which the chair-
man of the entertainment committee had adopted was
rather unusual, in addressing the Court at such length
upon the report without asking them to go to it. It
would have been far better, and a great saving of
time, if he had moved that the report be printed in
the first place, and had left the discussion upon its
contents till a future day.—(No, no.) He thought
the Court would have approved of his step, notwith-
standing the cry of "No, no." He (Mr. Taylor)
considered the latter part of the remarks of the chair-
man of the entertainment committee, in reference to
the public press, and especially to the Times, to refer
to no small matter, but to a question of very great
importance.--(Hear, hear.) He would rather have
seen this question taken up manfully by the Corpora-
tion in the shape of a distinct and specific motion
than that it should have been introduced in connexion
with the report of a committee, by adopting which
course the Court could not bestow that attention upon
it which the subject merited.—(Hear.) He hoped the
opportunity would soon occur when the Court would
speak out, and declare its own views in reference to the
articles in the Times attacking the Corporation—
greater libels than which were nelfrigrorenritten.
—(Cheers.) He gave credit to the entertainment com-
mittee for not having exceeded the estimate made for
the decoration of. the Guildhall and other expenses
attendant on the late visit of her Majesty, and be-
lieved this to have been the first occasion when an
estimate had not been exceeded.—(Hear, hear.) This
was something new, and he trusted that other com-
mittees would follow the example now set them, when
he was sure they would receive the support and en-
couragement of the Court.—(Hear, hear.) He must,
however, add, that although the sum allotted in this
instance had not been exceeded, for which he gave
them credit, he attributed the fact very much to their
being so very closely looked after.—(Laughter.)
Mr. CLARKE said he did not rise for the purpose of
contradicting any statements that he had heard made,
but he thought Mr. Dakin had sought the occasion of
introducing the subject of the report to make a speech
with regard to a particular journal.—(No, no.) Now,
that journal did not require either him (Mr. Clarke)
or any other man to speak in its favour.—(Laugh-
ter.) Gentlemen might laugh, but he would repeat
what he had asserted.—(Renewed laughter.) He
thought Mr. Dakin had brought about a great deal
of the severe castigation that the Corporation had re-
ceived, by having written a letter to the editor of the
Times, which he promised the other members of the
entertainment committee he would not do, when they
were attacked by that journal.—(oh, oh.)
Mr. GILPIN rose to order. If his friend, Mr.
Clarke, intended to move an amendment, he appre-
hended he might proceed, not otherwise.
Mr. CLAEKE—You cannot be surprised at the
press being against us, when only nine individuals be-
longing to that body were invited—the literature of
the age—and when each member of the committee
invited the same number of his private friends.—
(" No, no.")
The report was then, amidst great cheering, unani-
mously agreed to.

Deputy BEnronn seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
The Court then adjourned.

T}U ROYAL MAIL STEAM

PACKET COMPANY. The meeting of this company yesterday was very
numerously attended, the discussion being of an in-
teresting character. The dividend declared, as re-
comnaensied in the report, was 21. per share, an
amendment moved by Mr. Ridgway, for its increase
to 21. 109., experiencing a defeat by an enormous ma-
jority. In commenting upon the affairs of the un-
dertaking, Mr. Ridgway alluded to its progress
from the earliest date. He also went through its
financisa career, detailing the success of later years,
and expressed his opinion that a larger dividend ought
to be distributed. In this he was confirmed by the
position of the reserve and insurance funds, and he
contended that before extraneous sources
of profit,
such as it was predicted would arise from the exten-
sion of steam communication with Brazil and from
assistance being given to the Panama Railway, were
looked to, those who had embarked their capital in
the original enterprise should be permitted to receive
the fair fruits of their adventure. With respect to
the ultimate prospects of the company, he ,considered
them to he of a most satisfactory character; but,
while this was the case, he thought that the removal
of the port from Southampton to Milford Haven
would be attended with advantages likely to realise
an increased prosperity; other proprietors disagreed
with the suggestions thus thrown out. Assist-
ance to the Panama Railway was alleged by
two or three speakers to be well-timed, par.
ticularly as the route to,; Australia through
that channel was considered to be readily available,
and the spirit of American enterprise which had
been shown in connexion with Nicaragua ought to
be accepted as a salutary warning not to neglect
such important interests. The present rate of divi-
deud was not such as might be eventually expected,
but, recollecting that the directors had entered upon
an extension of the operations of the company with-
out requiring calls, it was generally admitted that it
would be advisable to leave an increase of dividend to
their. discretion. The chairman (Mr. Thomas Baring,
M.P.) explained the position of the board. The dis-
cussion produced by the amendment of Mr. Ridgway
was not regretted, since it afforded the executive an
opportunity of detailing their views with regard to
the management of the undertaking. The chief points
argued had been in connexion with assistance to
the Panama Railway, the desirableness of possess-
ing Milford Haven as a seaport, and the absence
of an increased dividend.. These could be an-
swered to the satisfaction of the proprietors. The
aid it was contemplated to afford the Panama
Railway would ultimately increase the traffic of the
Royal Mail Company, who had :already experienced
the benefit of similar co-operation with the Govern-
ment of New Granada. The removal of the port
from Southampton to Milford Haven could not be
entertained, as a trade between France and the
Brazils had sprung up at the former place, which
deserved to be encouraged. It would have been
egreeable to the directors to declare an increased
dividend, but they felt under present circumstances it
could not be judiciously recommended. The service
of the company in its fresh sphere of operations re-
quired a large outlay, and the five new vessels pre-
paring would cost about 450,0001., of which 300,000/•
had already been paid. When therefore the proprie-
tors found that the reserve fund was absorbed, and
the insurance fund was in a fair way to be exhausted,
he thought it would be considered highly indiscreet
to propose an increased dividend before arrangements
were made for other contingencies. The amendment
for an increased dividend at the rate of 21. 10s. per
share was then put, and, having been lost, the origi-
nal motion for the adoption of the report was car-
ried in the usual form. Before the complimentary,
votes were passed, it was stated, in answer to a pro-
prietor, that the contract of the company with the
Government was for a period of eleven years, with
one year's notice.

Tile following is an abstract of the report :
" The working account for the last six months of the
current year, which has been transmitted to each of the
shareholders, will not admit of comparison as to its va-
rious items with any working account hitherto presented.
The change of routes upon the West India line, which
took place in August, 1850, affects both the receipts and
disbursements; and in January last the company opened
a new line of steam communication with the Brazils and
the River Plate, requiring considerable expenditure in
hiring premises, establishing stocks of coal at various
depots, preparing moorings, &o.; all of which, as well as
the receipts, are exhibited in working account, giving a
surplus of 100,6541. Bs. Bd. upon the first half of
1851; being 21,125/. 17s. 10d. over the surplus of
the corresponding half of the previous year. At
the same time that the directors feel satisfied with
the company's prospects, they are convinced that
there is always room for improvement, and that
it will still be their duty to exert every effort
towards affording the most extensive and rapid postal com-
munication, combined with the greatest amount of public
accommodation. With this conviction the five largest class
new steam-ships now in preparation were ordered to be
built; and, acting upon the same principle, the directors,
finding that their screw steamer tho Esk did not accomplish
the requisite speed, or offer sufficient passenger accom-
modation for the River Plate, a purchase was at once
made of the new iron paddle-wheel steamer the Prince,
of 446 tons builders' measurement, with the nominal
power of 200 horses, which vessel had made an average
speed of 12 knots in ono or two experimental voyages—
a rate which can scarcely fail to afford satisfaction—be-
tween Rio do Janeiro and Buenos Ayres, where she is
now stationed. The Esk being thus released from duty
in the River Plate has been sent to the West Indies,
where she will probably be employed hereafter to im-
prove some branch of service hitherto performed by sails
alone, and the company's schooner Larne, having been
nine years incessantly employed in a tropical climate,
was found to require such extensive repair that, as the
most advisable course, she has been sold by public auc-
tion. Since the general meeting of the shareholders the
five new ships building for the Atlantic service have all
been launched, and aro now receiving or preparing to
receive their machinery. As occurs upon all such occa-
sions, causes of delay have arisen beyond the controul of
the directors, but there is reason to hope that the whole
of these ships may be completed in time to commence
running between Southampton and Chsgres in the begin-
ning of Jan. next; and the directors take this opportunity to
reiterate their former assurances that not only these five
ships, but the Prince also, will be paid for without the
necessity of making any call upon the shareholders. The
directors congratulate the shareholders upon the com-
mencement of the Brazil line of communication, as,
notwithstanding the difficulties inseparably connected
with a new enterprise, particularly with foreign nations,
all parties are concurred in expressions of satisfaction at
the regularity already exhibited, and the accommodation
afforded. The directors have not lost sight of the im-
portance which, as, was stated in their last report,
must, in the present state of the communications with
the Pacific, be attached to the early completion of the
railroad across the Isthmus of Panama; and of the great
interest which this company has in a safe and expeditious
system of transit between the two oceans upon the most
favourable terms. To insure this object the directors are
still in negotiation with the Panama Railroad Company,
and are prepared to adopt the same course which has
been pursued by those connected with the American
Steam-packet Companies, by a loan of money for such a
moderate amount and on such security as may appear
eligible. Notwithstanding the decision of a Select
Committee of the House of Commons in favouro! a
steam communication with the Australian colonies via the
Cape of Good Hope, it has found so little favour with the
mercantile community, that the directors feel Convinced
the route by the Isthmus of Panama offers superior ad-
vantages; and, even without a small contract,. that
steam-vessels will probably so on be established between
Panama and Australia. This would so manifestly tend
to benefit the interest of the Royal Mail Steam-packet
Company, that the directors will not fail to render every
assistance towards the
, pr
The company s omotton of such an undertak-
ing.original charter of incorporation
contained a clause restricting the conveyance of passen-
gers, specie, and other merchandise by the company's
vessels to and from such porta and places, and at such
times, as may be defined in any contract or contracts for
the time being in course of fulfilment for the conveyance
of the mails.' As it was considered this restriction
might under certain circumstances be found detrimental,
, the di▪
rectors submitted the case to the Queen in Council
and her Majesty has been pleased to grant a supple-
mental charter, by which the company's vessels may
now be employed in any branch service, whether with
or wi▪ thout mails on board, at the discretion of the court
of directors. The same reasons that operated in April
last against an immediate increase of the rate of divi-
dend apply with nearly equal force at present;
.as the
shareholders will readily comprehend the necessity that
exists for restoring the reserve and insurance funds, as a
prudent provision against casualties, and to. afford means
of of encountering competition. With this conv_oortzt.ne,
therefore, the directors recommend a dividend

IRELAND.
THE PREMIER AND LORD LUCAN.
DUnLIN, THURSDAY.—The following reply to the
last letter of Lord John Russell was read by Lord
Lucan at the meeting in Ballivasloe on Tuesday
last :--

" Ballinasloe, Oct. s:'
"My Lord—l have the honour to acknowledgelthe
receipt of your letter of the 27th ult., and I much re-
gret that your Lordship does not' see the force of the
observations submitted by the boards of guardians in
reply to your previous communication.
" The guardians. did not consider that they advanced
any plea of setting themselies against the law, or that
of resistance to'the law, in not
they set 'any example
consenting to be made agerita for the collection, of •
tax so unfair in its object, so-unjust in the mode of
assessment, and so Seriously -oppressive to all classes
of their fallen country, and in declining to take upon
themselves duties foreign and obstructive to their tir-
dinary functions..:
" Your Lordship observes that the four millions
granted by the Government must have supplied the
amount of sums thrown away. It could without dif-
ficulty be shown that in the county Mayo not one
half mile of road was executed by the relief works.
And if it is now intended, contrary to all promise, to
hold Ireland liable for the whole of the cost of the re-
lief afforded, it could as easily be shown that the whole
amount of that relief was still quite disproportionate
to the frightful sum of six millions now brought in
charge against the country.

" Having been invited by your Lordship to state
such considerations as can be entertained by Govern-
ment, I feel myself bound to submit those sugges-
tions which occur to me.

" No particulars of the demands have yet been
supplied to the several boards of guardians. These,
surely, cannot be any longer fairly withheld.
" Justice would seem to require that the charges
against the different unions, electoral divisions, and
townlands should be carefully investigated by a board
of persons appointed for that purpose, whose duty it
would be to ascertain what, if any, value had been
given by the public works, what amount of relief had
been afforded, and how far in each case repayments
can with justice be claimed, and can with safety be'
insisted upon, without entire confiscation or Mid-
ing serious and lasting injury.
" It would again appear to be the dewy of Govern-
ment to consider whether this charge should not be
defrayed by all classes of Irishmen, and not be im-
posed exclusively on those who have been the chief, if
not the only, sufferers by the great calamity which
has befallen Ireland. Nothing can be more decidedly
unjust than to levy an extraordinary tax under the
Act for the relief of the poor ; as, from the defects in
this law parties, in addition to their own rates, are
liable and compelled to make good the arrears owing
by 9thers. Great care should be taken in the col-
lection of a tax so onerous, and to continue for gene-
rations, that it is equitably levied, and that no one
should be called upon to do more than to meet his
own liabilities.

"Your Lordship has admitted that the famine was
a national calamity. It never has been the practice
in any country to withhold in such a case the na -
tional resources, and to chargef the tlteccoounnsterqyuewnhticexhpheand-
diture against that portion of
been afflicted with so serious a visitation.
"It is intended to mortgage the rates for 40
years. Your Lordship well knows that such a
course is altogether at variance with the principle of
the Poor-law of England, and it would appear ques-
tionable whether imposing a tax exclusively to meet
national expenditure is not as much opposed to the
letter as is clearly opposed to the spirit of the articles
of the Union between England and Ireland.
" In consequence of your Lordship's letter appear-
ing to be addressed to me personally, I have pre-
ferred answering it, while from home, to waiting my
return to Mayo, there to submit it to a meeting of
the boards of guardians.—l have the honour to be, my
Lord, your Lordship's very obedient servant,
" .LucAN.
" To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell."
LORD ARUNDEL IN LIMERICK.
On Monday last the Earl of Surrey, accompanied
by Mr. W. Monsell, M.P., visited nearly all the Roman
Catholic charitable institutions in Limerick, and left
with each donations varying is amount from 101. to
50/. ; the disbursements making in the aggregate the
sum of 4501. Subjoined is his Lordshiy's reply to an
invitation to a public banquet from a large body of his
new constituents.

" Gentlemen—•l sincerely thank you for this most
cordial and gratifying address, and for the honour
which you are pleased to confer upon me by inviting
me to a public banquet. . -
"I much regret that illness has deprived me of the
pleasure I should have enjoyed by being among you
shortly after the prorogation of Parliament. I have
been recommended to pass some time abroad, with a
view to the complete re-establishment of my health.
Under these circumstances, as you have with most
kind consideration given me choice of the time when
I may have the honour of meeting you, I would sug-
gest the end of January as the most suitable period
for that manifestation of your good will, and for the
encouragement which it will give me before the duties
of the session commence.

" I feel, indeed, your resolution and unanimity are
the best proof of the determination of the people of
Ireland to support the cause of the Church, of truth,
and of justice. Your city is of all others the one best
entitled to the high privilege of heading the Catho-
lics of the United Kingdom, in their just desire for
equal religious rights. And although I feel that lam
little worthy to be your representative, and that you
have addressed me in terms far more flattering than I
merit, I will at least accept the one phrase—
' singleness of purpose.'
" In a good and just cause, with that simple inten-
tion, I have no fear but that God will bless our disin-
terested exertions. I shall look forward to the time
when you intend to honour me with this additional
proof of your confidence and esteem. And I once
more thank you for that distinguished mark of favour
conferred upon me by so numerous a body of my
friends and fellow labourers in the struggle which we
all have so much at heart."

The deputation then returned to the Clare Hotel,
where the committee sat to fix on the day, and Tues-
day, the 27th day of January, was unanimously agreed
upon.
