THE MASSACRE AT JEDDAH.

The Moniteur publishes the subjoined account of
the recent massacre at Jeddah from the pen of M.
Emerat, the dragoman and Chancellor of the French
Consulate, whose gallant behaviour hasiearned him
the cross of the Legion of Honour :
"ALEXANDRIA, JULY 9.
" Monsieur le Ministre,—On the evening of the
15th of June the town of Jeddah was the theatre
of terrible scenes of slaughter ; 23 victims were
murdered by an infuriated populace, and among
them, I am grieved to say, are the Consuls of
France and of England and Madame Eveillard.
Having escaped, by the mercy of Providence, the
blows of the assassins, I lose no time in giving your
Excellency the details of this sanguinary drama.
"For some time a revival of fanaticism was visi-
ble at Jeddah, but no one suspected that go fearful
a deed was contemplated aaainst the Christians who
Dave inhabited that city for many years. Never-
theless, the plan was"secretly hatched. A pretext
was found to put it into execution.
" Oue Abiallah JJher had to give an necoun' to
the British Consulate of the employment of the
property of two Indian orphans of whom he was
guardian. He asked to be placed under Turkish
protection, and to change the flag of a vessel of
which he was the owner. Namik Pasha consented,
and ordered the Turkish flag to be hoisted, and
that of England to be hauled down. This was done
amid the exultation of the fanatics.
" The English Consular agent was absent at the
time. On his return, having protested in vain to
Namik Pasha, he invoked, according to custom,
a Consular tribunal, which decided that the Turkish
flag should be hauled down.

"Consequently, on the 15th of June, a detach-
ment of marines from the Cyclops, which was in
the roads, seized upon the Indian vessel, hauled
down the Ottoman colours, and hoisted the English
flag. The news of this event created great excite-
ment in Jeddah. It was declared to be an insult
against the dignity of Islamism. But this was only
a pretext ; the real object of the agitators was to
take advantaga of the circumstance to murder the
Christians, whose presence, in their eyes, defiled
the sacred soil of the Hedjaz, and to seize upon
their property.
" About six o'clock in the evening, when the
population were aware that the boat's crew had
returned on board the frigate, and that no help
could be given the Christian residents, a mob of
fanatics attacked the English Consulate. On their
approach the Cawasses took to their heels. Mr.
Page, surprised in his bed, and unable to defend
himself, was wounded seriously, and was then
pitched from his balcony and cut to pieces at the
foot of the flagstaff ; his dragoman and clerk shared
his fate. The house was pillaged. A considerable
sum of money must have been found in Mr. Page's
strong boi, as he was a merchant as well as Vice-
Consul.

" Cries of 'Death to the Christians !' now arose
on all sides, and the mob, thirsting for more blood,
hastened towards the French Consulate. _
._

"At about half-past 6 M. Eveillard and myself
were just returning from our usual evening stroll.
We had scarcely-entered the drawing-room, where
the Consul's -wife and daughter were sitting, when
the Consulate was surrounded.

" The Cawass closed the door, and kept on'side
to repel the attack. The Cawass Ahmet alone
offered resistance, was wounded in his head, and
thrown back into the street, where he remained for
some time insensible.

" As soon as the Consulate was attacked I went
clown stairs to defend the entrance by the staircase.
Supported only by my servant, an Al,gerine, Hadji
Mehemet, formerly a soldier in the native Rifles,
whose devotion on this occasion was most praise-
worthy, I wa&ware that it would ba impossible to
make a long resistance ; but my object was to gain
time, in hope that a detachment of troops might be
sent to our aid. My only weapon was a cane with
a hammer to it, and Idadji-Mehemet had a club.
With the courage of despair we attacked the as-
sailant 3, who faced us in bodies of never less than
30 or 40. After knocking clown the foremost we
were obliged to dodge behind the stairs to avoid
the shots fired at us. A hand-to-hand struggle
ensued, and three times the assassins reached the
first story and were driven back. At this moment
cries of the Kaimakan is coming were raised, and
the mob fur a moment remained quiet in the court
below.

"I did not think that any one of the assailants
had reached the second story. I went up to make
sure. I found Madame Eveillard lying dead on the
floor, the Consul wounded, and his young and cou-
rageous daughter wounded in the cheek by a sabre
cut received while defending her father. The second
story had been reached by the balcony of a neigh-
bouring house, and having cut down the Consul,
his wife, and daughter, the assassins retreated.
" Onleaving the saloon I heard Hadji Mehemet
crying out, 'The flag is attacked ; let us defend it !'
I ran up the ladder, but was hurled down. Hadji
Mehemet then ran up it, and succeeded in throw-
ing down two of the assailants. We could net as-
certain whether they were killed or not.
"This unequal struggle bad now lasted nearly a
quarter of an hour, and we expected to succumb
every moment. A man armed with a dagger came
forward and asked me if the Kaimakan had arrived.
I thought he was a Cawass in authority, when I
heard Mdlle. Eveillard cry out, 7tke care ! that
man is going to stab you I' I rushed upon him to
disarm him, but I received at the same moment a
gash across my left hand from a sabre, a blow which
broke the thumb of my left hand, and a dagger-stab
through my arm I khould nsvitably have fallen
without the assistance of Mdlle. Eveillard, who dis-
played the most extraordinary courage and pre-
sence of mind. I finally succeeded in disarming
my assailant, and killed him.
"Seeing that the Kaimakan did not cow, the
assassins, whom we had thrice repulsed, made an-
other bold attempt to get up the stairs, urged on
by the yells of some 50 women who accompanied
them. I stood on the lowe,t step, armed with my
dagger. I ran through and killed the first man
that advanced, and I stabbed two or three others.
At this moment the Kaimakan arrived, followed by
two Cawass, and informed me that Col. Hassan,
who commanded the artillery, had refused to come
to our aid, under the pretext that he had no orders,
and could only receive them from the Governor-
General.

"The Kaimakan and myself had only the two
Cawass and my servant to support us ; it was be
coming impossible to hold out much longer. I there-
fore requested that official to endeavour to calm
the mob ; but it only made them the more violent
We want to have the Consul and his Chancellor,'
they shouted ; hand them over to us that we may
put them to deaih ; if you don't we will kill you!'
The Kaimakan began to falter, and was only pre-
vented from complying by my threats. The mob
continued to swell ; the attacks of the assailants
became more fierce ; the Kaimakan was knocked
down by a blow from a club. While I was picking
him up I received a sabre cut and a blow from a
club on the head, which stunned me, and I fell.
The assassins then rushed into the saloon and put
M. Eveillard, already wounded, to death.
"My faithful Algerine had never left my side,
watching his moment either to carry off my body,
if I was killed, or to take me to some place of
safety, if only wounded. At the moment I received
the last two wounds the servants of the Kaimakan
were carrying off their master. Hadji Mehemet
raised me up, concealed my face under the Kai-
makan's robes, and we were taken to the house of
the Colonel, who had refused us his aid. I was
immediately sent to the military hospital, where I
did not recover my senses till after I had been
there above a quarter of an hour, aad where I re-
ceived every attention. _ _
" At the moment M. Eveillard was I,eing mur-
der' d and his house pillaged, the wife of a military
official called Mehemet Effendi, to whom some days
previously Madame and Mademoiselle Eveillard
had shown great kindness, sent one of her slaves
to save them. Ma4rmoi.rielle Eveillard was carried
off by the slave to the house of his mistress, and
thence to the Kaimakan's harem, where she re-
ceived every attention. I must also return my
thanks for the care taken of mysylf at the Artillery
Hospital.

"-The commander of the Cyclops, at anchor in
the roadstead, could not be awa e of what was going
on in the town. On the morrow, informed of what
had taken place by some Greeks who had sought
refuge on board, he sent boats on shore to inquire.
As the boats approached the populace assembled on
each side of the channel, attacked the boats, to pre-
vent the crews landing ;the commander, who Wag in
one boat, perceiving the impossibility of landing,
ordered the boats to return to Ihe ship. The ci ew fired
a volley, and killed two men, wounding others. On
his return on board the Cyclops, Capt. Pullen
wrote to the K -king news of the C.,ns~rls,
airnakan
and offering his services to put down the mob. The
Governor replied that the force he had at Jeddah
was not sufficient to allow him to take the off-n-
-sive, that he bad despatched a courier that very
evening, and that lie hoped Narvik Pasha would
(a
speedily arrive: He also informed Captain Pullen ullc)n
of the safety of Mdlle. Eveillard and myself.

b
the morrow Capt. Pullen wrote to me, "Tr not
to indicate the means of saving us. e
think he could attempt a landing. I begged him
to wait the Pasha's art ival.
"On the 16th the Governor ordered the bodies
of the victims to be interred, and great was the
astonishment of the Arabs at not finding me among
the dead. A body of them waited on the Cadi to
infdrm him I was alive and that it was I who bad
lined the two Unanimous 'whose bodies were
pond in the Consulate. Sentence of death was

pronounced against Lae, and every true believer
was called upon to disclose my hiding-place that I
might be put to death. For some days crowds
assembled in front of the artillery hospital asking
whether I had found refuge there ; but they were
misled by the statement that I had found shelter
on board the English frigate on the evening of the
massacre.
" We remained thus five days in suspense when,
on the night of the 19th, the Pasha arrived from
Mecca with a detachment of Chasseurs, and Namik
Pasha took up his quarters at a barrack outside
the town. On the next morning the Governor-
General sent his son-in-law to make inquiries after
me and asked me to visit him. I complied. Namik
Pasha promised me to do everything in his power to
inflict upon the assassins the chastisement which
they deserved, and he told me he was ready to give
me such satisfaction as I might require. I replied
that all that remained for me to do was to proceed
and render a statement of the facts to the Govern-
ment of the Emperor. On leaving Jeddah I wrote
in that sense to Namik Pasha.

"Before I arrived at the Governor-General's
Capt. Pullen had written to him to demand that
the Christians who had escaped the massacre should
be given up to him. Namik Pasha requested an
interview. Capt. Pullen proceeded to the palace,
where I was also present. After the interview
Mdlle. Eveillard, her servant, and myself embarked
on board the boats of the friga' e, and the Christians
who had escaped the massacre on board a native
boat, under the command of the captain of the port.
" Captain Pullen wrote the same day to the
Governor-General, demanding that the boats of
the Cyclops should be allowed to come to the land-
ing stairs with armed crews, that the flags of France
and England should be saluted by the artillery of
the forts, that the flags should then be carried
through the streets under an armed escort from the
frigate, and that a procession should then go to the
cemetery to read the burial service and pay military
honours to the victims. The ceremony took place
the following day.
" Such are, M. le Ministre, the facts of this hor-
rible drama, in which a furious population was
enabled, while the authorities remained passive
spectators, to give vent to excesses of the most
odious fanaticism.

THE EARZ OF EGLINTON AT GALWAY.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.
The bail net given to his Excellency at the City
of the Tribes' hal done infinite honour to its pro-
jectors. Nothing was wanting to render it success-
ful. Nearly 400 persons were present, and the ar-
rangements and decorations of the banqueting hall
are described as deserving of the highest praise.
The speeches,. which are reported at great length in
this morning's. Saunders, were practical and busi-
nesslike, and what is rather unusual at such demon-
strations in Roland, nothing occurred to disturb
the unanimity of sentiment that prevailed. If the
banquet was a success, however, there was a hitch
in another part of the programme laid down for his
Excellency's entertainment. Yesterday he was to
have made an excursion to the Isles of Arran in one
of Mr. Lever's spleudil vessels called the Prince
Albert ' • but, as she did not arrive at Galway early
enough for this purpose, his Excellency judi-
ciously 'declined marring ithe trip in the Vesper,
the only steamer available, on the ground that she
was not adapted for a pleasure party in a rough sea.
Taking advantage of the splre time en :1.3 11.4nds,
therefore his Excellency drove through the town,
and, as a memento of his visit, named a new street
after himself. Subsequently his Excellency in-
spected the Queen's College and reviewed the Gal-
way Militia, commanded by the Marquis of Clan-
ricarde. In the evening, the county ball came off,
and there was also a grand display of fireworks.

To return to the banquet. After the usual loyal
toasts,were given and drunk with great enthusiasm,
the High Sheriff of Galway, who was in the chair,
proposed his Excellency's health in a neat speech,
when

The Earl of EGLINTON, on rising to return thanks,
was warmly cheered. He then said—Mr. High She-
riff, my lords and gentlemen, it is at all times diffi-
cult to return thanks for such an honour as you
have paid me, and an honour paid in such a manner,
but it is especially difficult to do so when I have on
this occasion to return you thanks not only for the
kind, and, I must say, the more than kind manner
in which you have received my health, but to you,
and the ;ugh you to all classes of the community of
Galway, for the manner in which I was received in
your city to-day. And if there is anything which '
could make such an honour more gratifying to me
than another, it would be that my health was
coupled with the sentiment with which I am happy
to say the Lord Lieutenant's health is always
coupled—namely, prosperity to Ireland—(loud
cheers)—a sentiment in which I not only concur,
but I will venture to say is not warmer in the heart
of any Irishman than in mine. (Enthusiastic
cheers.) It is with feelings of the most unfeigned
satisfaction that I find myselfonce more in Galway
—(cheers)—and I think that every member of the
deputation who did me the honour to meet me at
Athlone the other day will bear me out in saying
that I showed no hesitation inaccepting their kind.
invitation. (Hear, hear.) But how could I hesi-
tate in acceptingsuch an invitation, when I remem-
ber the kindness, the confidence, the courtesy with
which I was treated when I was last among you,
such a reception as I believe no man was ever the
object of before ? (Applause.) I well remember
when I came to Galway I was received with the
respect clue to me as the representative of my
Sovereign, and with that court -sy which comas so
na'urally, and, I may also say, so gracefully from
Irishmen; but I felt that respect was paid to the
office and not to the man. (Loud cries of "No, no,"
and "To both.") Pardon me, gentlemen ; I felt
that I was not then known by you. I came here
with every good intention and wish to further the
prosperity of Galway. I determined to do my duty
to Galway, as I would by every other part of Ire-
land—(loud cheers)—but when I came I felt, like
you, that we were s'rangers ; but I am happy to
say, it was not long before we became acquainted
with each other. The respect thawed into some-
thing which I must call very like friendship—the
courtesy ripened into cordiality ; and I can assure
you, in all sincerity, that the recollection which
remained in my mind of my visit to Galway
was the brightest retrospect which I had of my
short tenure of office in Ireland. (Loud ap-
plause.) The retrospect appeared almost like
a dream ; but the dream has become a reality.
(Loud cheers.) The city, with its ancient traditions
—your wide and noble bay, with the waves of the
Atlantic flowing in on eitl.er side of the wild Islands
of Arran—the distant mountains of Connemara—
Lough Corrib, whose surface I first disturbed with
steam—(loud and prolonged cheering)—l mean the
canal into Lough Corrib—the representatives of the
ancient tribes and the lovely daughters of the west
—are again all before me, not only a dream but a
bright reality. (Great cheering.) But, gentlemen,
there is a change. When I was here before I was
shown your bay—l was told what a magnificent
harbour it would make—l was shown that there
was nothing between it and the great continent of
America. I was perfectly aware of its advantages
but there was no Levier—(loud cheering)—tbere
was, I say, no Lever on which to found the struc-
ture. (Cheer=.) My friend, Father Daly-,-(re-
peated cheering)—discoursed to me, as he always
does, most energetically and most eloquently on
the advantages of Galway, and pointed out that it
was the true highway to America. (Cheers.) If
eloquent words and a good will could have effected
that object between us a Leviathan, at least, would
have sprung up to plough the waters between Ire-
land and the New World. Consistency and deter-
mination have at length prevailed, and I do rejoice
to say that not only have you one steamer, but I ,
trust another and another shall succeed ; not only
have you sent one pioneer to take possession of the
highroad, but I trust another ship wilt soon be on
its way in her wake. (Loud applause.) Ido take,
1 will not say credit, but I rejoice to say that I,
perhaps, have been a little instrumental in obtain-
ing the assistance of the Post-office in this under-
taking ; and I can assure you that I did not allow
one day to pass after the subject was brought before
me until I r commended that assistance to be given
by my noble friend the Postmaster-Genera]. (Hear.)
My noble friend on my left, Lord Clanricarde, has
already occupied that post—(loud cheers)—and I
rather think he will allow that these sort of changes
are not easily made—that changes in the Post-office
do not emanate from it quite so quickly as the let-
ters themselves. However, my noble friend, the
Postmaster-General, as I have no doubt toy noble
friend on my left would have equally done, at once
acquiesced in my views. (Hear.) There is a change
else, as your chairman has told you, in theprospects
of the country. lam happy to say that I can assure
you I did not conceive it possible when I came to
Ireland that I could have found that such extraor-
dinary improvement could have taken place gene-
rally over the face of the country as I have found
since my arrival. (Hear.) Agriculture has flourished.
—crime has decreased in the most wonderful man-
ner—and I do hope and trust that differences have
diminished. (Cheers.) Ido not think that I could
point to a greater instance of that, or to a happier
prognostication of future peace and tranquility, 1
than by turning my eye to the right of this table
and seeing my fiiend. Archdeacon Goold and my
friend Father Daly sitting side by side. (Loud
chi era.) Th© chairman has alluded to some advice
which I took the liberty of giving you when I was
last in this place, advice which you took in the same
spirit of kindness in which it was offered ; but I
feel now that it is perfectly unnecessary for me to
offer you any advice or to read you any lecture on
any given subjec'. (Applause.) I believe there is
no part of her Majesty's dominions more peaceable
and tranquil than this part of Ireland, and if these
changes have occurred define the six years that
have elapsed since my last visit,'' if Galway has pro-
gressed with the rest of Ireland in that general
prosperity which has been diffused over it, let us
take a still wider retrospect, and look to the
changes that have taken place during a longer
period. There can be no doubt, from the position
of Galway, from the interesting remains of build-
ings which still adorn some of her streets—(hea,r,
hear)—if we did not know a'so from history, there
can be no doubt that Galway had a very thriving
trade with Spain and France in olden Var.s ; wad
Jo far, I have no doubt, perhaps, was more pros-
perous in proportion than she is now. But with
all their prosperity—if prosperity there was—her
citizens looked in vain for that peace and tran-
quility of which I have just spoken. (Hear, heir.)
They were in perpetual fear of the attacks of
their warlike neighbours ; even from the ances-
tors of many of those I see here joining with us at
this festive board, and drinking prosperity to
city to whose pillage their forefathers contributed.
(Laughter and cheers) I think it is about 300
years ago that a predecessor of mine—a former
Sidney, visited Galway. He

ETON COLLEGE ELECTION.

SATURDAY, JULY 24.
According to annual custom the Rev. the Provost
of King's Collage, Cambridge, accompanied by his
posers (the Rev. Dr. Williams and Mr. H. J. Sim-
mends), arrived in state at Eton College at two
o'clock on Friday last, and was received in the
Lower School by the Vice-Provost, fellow,
masters, and assistant masters. After having viewed
the scholarf' rooms they proceeded through the
quadrangle to the en'rance of the cloi:ters beneath
the clock-tower, where the Provost of Eton was in
waiting to receive them, and where the customary
Latin speech is delivered by a King's scholar, which
on this occasion was admirably spoken by Moziey,
ma., K.S. _

The arrival of the Provost of King's is a signal
for the commencement of the hospitalities provided
for by the pious founder, and which, it is but jus-
tice to say, are administered by the college autho-
rities of the present day to a most liberal extent.
The various entertainments will extend over the
great part of the present week.
On Saturday morning the Duke of Malakhoff
and suite arrived at the Provost's lodge, where a
sumptuous breakfast was provided for his Excel-
lency and a distinguished circle of about 40 who
had the honour of being invited to meet him, among
whom were the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop
of Oxford, Lord Granville, Cul. and Mrs. Howard
Vyse, of Stoke, Lady Young, Mrs. Mangles, Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe, Miss Thackeray, the Pro-
vost of King's, the Misses Oakes, Dr. Rowland
Williams, the Rev. S. F. Marshall, Col. Cadogan,
the Rev. Stephen Hawtrey, Miss Hannah Hawtrey,
the Rev. H. J. Ellison, vicar of Windsor, &c.
At noon the company assembled in the Upper
School to hear the speeches, and, as the Duke of
Malakhoff proceeded thither from the Provost's
lodge, as well as on his arrival, he was heartily
cheered by the studen's.
The usual portion of the school was appropriated
to the visitors, and displayed a brilliant assemblage
of ladies. In front of this assemblage the Duke of
Malakhoff took his seat, wearing the Order of the
Bath, the Legion of Honour, and several other
decorations. fl is Excellency sat with Lord Gran-
ville and the Bishop of Oxford on his right, and
the Provost of Eton and King's on his left, when
the speeches commenced.
So admirably were all the speeches delivered that
it is almost with reluctance we mention the follow-
ing as having most distinguished themselves—viz.,
Powell, Mozley, ma., Dyne, Young, Luxmore, and
Wood, ma., all of whom were loudly applauded.
The Duke of Malakhoff appeared highly delighted
with the selection from Moli re. At thr,e o'clock
the company, with the King's scholars, assem-
bled in the College °hall, where they partook
of the customary entertainment ; the college
graces, ante and post pranditcrn, being chanted
with fine effect by the 70 King's scholars, also as-
sisted by the choir of Eton College Chapel and the
Chapel Royal of St. George, Young, K. S., per-
forming the duty of leader.
After dinner and after the loving cup had been
passed round, the c3ropany adjourned to the Elec-
tion-hall, where they partook of an elegant dessert,
and drank the usual loyal and collegiate t ,asts,
among which were " The Immortal Memory of
the pious Founder," " The Heatth of the French
Ambassador," which was acknowledged by his ex-
cellency, who expressed in French the great satis-
faction with which he hail visited the colle•oze. The
following also addressed the meeting :—The Be!-
gian Minister, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the
Bishop of Winchester, Mr. Justice Halliburton,
the Adjutant General, Archdeacon Abrahams, &c.
At 7 o'clock, the company having assembled in
the Brccss, the boats were manned by their re-
spective crews, and after pulling to Windsor-bridge
they left for Surley-hall, in the following order :
The eight selected to row the Westminster—the same
crew which rowed against Radley at Henley on the
26,h of last June ; Mr. C. H. Hall, Mr. F. B. Van de
Weyer, Mr. D. Ricardo, Mr. C. Wynne, Mr. E. W.
Hussey, the Hon. F. Trench, Mr. Ff. Collings, the Hon.

subsided ; and Stannyhurat says, in the language
of the period that it was "much decayed." I
trust that the historian of the present day will
have a very different tale to tell. I trust he will
write of Galway as a rising commercial city,
brought within a few hours of the metropolis by
the mighty agency of steam—connected by canals
and basins with the magnificent lakes of the inte-
rior, having established a great and lasting inter-
courae with the great Transatlantic Republic.
(Tremendous applause.) In those old times, long
before the great discovery of Columbus, your
ancestors always fancied there was some distant
land in the west, which they had to look to with
hope. As the Pottuguese gazed over the sea,
and year after year expected the return of
their lost Sebastian—as the Welsh looked for
their royal Medce—so your ancestors fancied that
there was a land in the west, which contained the
shades of their kinsmen. In fable and in mist, per
haps aided by some tradition, of which we have
now no record, they fancied that they saw from
time to time this western land that they called
Hybrisil, ram sure there are few of von who do
nit Au Clio usie t., o,aurnure, by Moore,
the following lines :
" Oh ! when the western wave grew bright
With daylight's parting wing;
They sought that Eden in its light
Which dreaming poets sing."
(Cheers.) The Spaniards found the real Hybrisil.
The Seventh Henry of England followed in their
wake. Hundreds of thousands of your countrymen
are now colonising it, and the ocean that separates
you from it is now regularly crossed with marvel-
lous velocity, and with an almost entire safety.
(Cheers) As the Governor of Ireland I must be
impartial—(applause)--and therefore, even in this
place, I will not venture to offer an opinion upon
the relative merits as a packet station of Galway,
of Valentia, and of Foynes. (Hear.) But still, I
think, without any deroga'ion to:my impartiality,
I have a right to say that Galway has made a step
in advance—has taken possession of the great high-
way of the Atlantic, and I so far (and 1. think I
have a right to do so) throw impartiality for the
moment to the winds, and wish Galway success
with all my heart. (Loud and enthusiastic cheer-
ing.) Let Valentia rej ice in the gigantic effort
which, though as yet uneuccessful, must in the end
and I trust almost immediately, succeed ; but let
Galway succeed in her enterprise, which will bring
prosperity to hers-if and reflect great benefit on the
rest of the country. Your ancestors looked hope-
lessly and in vain far the Hybrisil, hub you have
certainty of the land, and you know the facilities of
its approach. (Hear.) It has been my happy lot
on two occasions to come here at an auspicious mo-
ment. On my first visit I had the pleasure of open-
ing the canal, which I am proud to know bears my
name. On this occasion I have come, I trust, to
help to inaugurete a great enterprise which will make
Galway wh,t s 1 a has never been before, and I ear-
nestly hope that if my good fortune should ever
again in after years bring me to Galway, I shall see
that enterprise fully estab!ished—your fair bay
fi led with ships and with merchandise, and your
city prospering as she is entitled to do by her posi-
tion and natural advantages. (His Excellency
resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted ap-
'flame.)

The " Army and Navy," coupled with the name
of Lord Gough, was next proposed.
Lord GOUGH rose amidst applause to address the
assembly. He said—May it please your Excel-
lency, my lords and gentlemen, as a soldier, on
the part of my profession, I thank you from heart.
(Cheers.) Thirty-two yearsago Ilwas last inGal way,
and I shall never forget the period that I have spent
amongst you. (Applause.) I am proud—very proud
indeed—that that residence has not been entirely
forgotten. (Renewed applause.) A soldier has many
privations to undergo, and solemnly I ask you what
must be the privations of those separated from their
friend-t, separated from that sex which now adorns
this assembly—(applause)—separated from all that
is fair, from all that is beautiful ? But, gen-
tlemen, the feeling of kindness so naturally mani-
fested by the people of this country for the
soldier's exertions animates him in the time of
battle, bears him up in his many privations, and
makes him serve his honoured Queen and his hon-
oured country with that degree of devotion which
has called forth your favOurable opinion this day
towards my profession. (Loud cheers.) Permit
me to assure you that few circumstances since I
have been amongst you afford greater gratification
than to come among you this day as a resident
landlord of the county of Galway. (Cheers) I
anticipated the manifestation of respect, esteem,
gratitude, and affection to the individual who has
so honoured us with his company this day—(ap-
pliuse)—who has come amongst us to inculcate a
great, a beneficial lesson, not only to Galway, but
to our country at large—(cheers)—and from my
heart I wish success and prosperity to that great
undertaking. (The gallant general was honoured
throughout with loud applause and other manifesta-
tions of approval.)
After his Excellency had proposed the health of
the chairman, the same honour swas paid to Mr.
Lever, the announcement of whose name elicited
considerable cheering. •
Mr. LEVER acknowledged the compliment in a
long speech. He said that it was a patent fact to
the world that to make a pack,t station the high-
way to America they should improve and in every
shape develop the resources not only of this country
but of England, Scotland, Wales, and of the prin-
cipal portions of Europe. (Cheers.) Previous to his
last steamship sailing he proceeded from London to
Liverpool for the purpose of having an interview
wi, h the principal of the Cunard company. He went
with money in his pocket—(near, hear) —for the
purpose of purchasing the fastest steam-ship he
could get, and the first qaestioa he put to Mr. C.
M.Keever was, would he sell his Arabia ?—the
fastest steam-ship of the day. (Cheers.) The ques-
t
tion was not one of price with him, but Mr.
M`Keever told him that he could not part with his
steam-ship for money, especially the Arabia. He
was then deterinin d that he should have the next
best ship, and to his surprise he found that a still
better ship than the Arabia. (Cheers.) He begged
to say that having been engaged for many years in
navigation and the purchase of steam-rs, he could
judge of a fast sailing vessel, and the Prince Albert,
now on her way to that port, was sL:cond to none
in the world. (Applause.) Having gone into
Isitnaetisotficpsarekelettts:ntgo
St. to the project,
and Boston, Mr. Lever and announced a
concluded amidst warm applause by thanking the
assembly fur the support afforded to the under-
taking.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in reply to the
toast, " The House of Lords," said—They were not
wealthy capitalists in Galway. Their laud, how-
ever fettle, had not got those mineral products
which in themselves were a source of great wealth,
and which gave facilities for the encouragement of
manufacturing industry. But at least let them show
that they were men of business as well as Mr. Lever
—whose elcquent speech expressed what it meant
and meant business—that they could appreciate
the natural position which they had, and that
when men who had capital were ready to associate
together, and to come to that coast to avail them-
selves of the fie:lilies that it afforded for a great
undertaking of national and European benefit—
(hear, hear) —t bey we.e ready to join with them
as far as their means and resources would allow,
and that they would afford them every encourage-
ment which it was iu theirpower to give. (Cheers.)
Mr. JOHN ENNIS, M.P., in replying to a local
toast, said he s aw years ago that nature had made
Galway a point of departure fur tr insatlantic en-
terprise, and he acted accordingly. He always
felt that that problem would one day or other have
to be solved, which he thought they were now on
the eve of seeing solved advantageously for Gal-
way. But there were certain things to be done in
order to make Galway calcul sted for the reception
of steamers of large sire. Let not application be
made to Parliament for a shilling until the fact
was ascertained that the passage from Or, east to
t c ,u d :c in a auoi ter period from
Galway than from any other port in Great Britain.
The fact once ascertained, the mails must come by
that line as a matter of course. Public authority would
demand it from any government and from every
Government. Then let the pea of Galway be so
arranged with regard to particular requirements,
extension of piers, &c., that nothing would be
wanting fur the sustainment of a large fleet of
steamers. He was satisfied that they had the key
of this matter iu their own bands, and they world
be very much to blame if they allowed any other
city to take it out of their hands.
After several other speeches the company
separated.
His Excellency returned to Dublin by special
train to-day.
The following addresses were presented to his
Excellency shortly after his arrival in Galway :
The High Sheriff of thu county real the follow-
ing address :

"TO lIIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF

IRELAND.
griil "May

hahl'ants of the county of Gl.tivvay, desire to con-
in this
her Majof
sty ,u Einxcicrlleelialiciyd,, aso nt hyeourarti representativec,a l
Own. ‘Ve beg to assure your Excellency of our
devotion,
sl.y.
loyalty and attachment to hergracious

_
" Tike occasion on which your Excellency has
acceded to the invitation to visit this Western port
's one of peculiar interest to all classes in this
cDunty. it is, as we confidently trust, to inaugu-
ra e a
permanent system of communication between
this town and America—an enterprise that, if estab-
lished 911 a satisfactory basis, cannot fail to ba of the

most material advantage to the country ; and we
therefore hail. your Excellency's presence as a proof
of the interest taken by her Majesty's Government
in an enterprise of such acknowledged utility.
" The impression left by your Excellency on the
occasion of your former visit induces us to entertain
the most sanguine expectations that your Excel-
lency will recommend such measures as are in your
judgment best calculated to promote this object.
We may also assure your Excellency that t':e few
words of this address very inadequately convey the
feeling of pleasure and hearty welcome with which
we hail for the second time your arrival in our
county."
To which his Excellency replied in suitable terms.
The following address from the town of Galway
was then read by the High Sheriff :
" TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF EULINTON,
LORD LIEUTENANT GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVER-
NOR OF IRELAND.

" We, the i❑habitants of the town and county of
the town of Galway, hasten to express to your Ex-
cellency our grateful acknowlerigments f r t'.o
which your Excellency acceded
to our request that you would honour our ' An-
cient Citie' with your presence on this interesting
occasion. We are sensible of the ardent desire of
your Excellency for the prosperity of the country
which our gracious Sovereign has committed to your
government ; and we have a lively recollection of
the warm interest which you exhibited in our local
improvements when inaugurating a work which
now bears your Excellency's name, The Egtinton

" The object of that work was to connect the
great lake which approaches our town with our
noble bay, and, by facilitating the inland naviga-
tion, to develope the resources of the country.
"On the present occasion we have invited your
Excellency to honour us with your presence, when
we have assembled to celebrate a work destined, we
trust, to fulfil the promise which nature seemed to
have made us—by eitahlishing this great western
port of the British Islands as the point of commu-
nication with the American continent.

" We trust that the hopes of many years and the
wishes of our ci+izens are about to he realised,
and convinced of your Excellency's sincere sympa-
thy with us on the present occasion, by the w trm
interest you have already shown in its success, we
heartily welcome you to the town of G Away.
" JOHN WILSON LYNCH,
High Sheriff, Town of Galway.
" Galway, July 22, 1858."
In reply his Excellency s'sid—
" Gentlemen,—l am glad to find that you are
satisfied with the promptness with which I accepted
your invitation to come to Galway on this interest-
ing occasion, but I can claim no credit for it, be-
cause in so doing I bestowed the highest gratifica
ton on myself. The two days which I spent in
this city on my former visit will never be effaced
from my recollection, and nature itself seems to vie
with the citizens in giving me a bright and cordial
welcome.

" I rejoice to find that the same kind and hearty
greeting is a2ain proffered to me by you, and if
anything could add to the sympathy with which I
regard this great enterprise, and the interest I take
in the fulfilment of your long-oherished hopes, it
would be the more than kind rEception which I
have now met from all classes of your fellow-
citizens,"

The Rev. Peter Daly then read the address from
the Town Commissioners :
" Td HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF EGLINTON, LORD
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR
OF IRELAND. -

"May it please your Excellency,—We, the cor-
poration of town commissioners of Galway, approach
your Excellency with sentiments of affectionate re-
spect, to offer our warmest welcome on your arrival
am angst us on this auspicious occasion, fraught
with promise of great benefit to our town in par-
ticular, and to Ireland generally, as well as sugges-
tive of more extended benefits in relation to the
commerce and intercourse of these realms with the
civilised world.

"The agreeable impressions which, on another
interesting occasion, your Excellency's condescen-
sion left on every heart in this &ty, induced us to
hope that your enlightened mind would foster and
encourage the efforts now being made to create a
new outlet for the commerce and traffic of Ireland,
and open a new route for thelinterchange of opinions
and friendly relations with millions of her own chil-
dren in the Western World ; and this hope you
have converted into reality by the unhesitating con-
descension with which your Excellency comes
amongst us to inaugurate a project which will open
to our people a fair opportunity of developing those
resources with which our country abounds.
" Our ancient city, once the emporium of com-
merce with France and Spain, without either wish-
ing to compete with any other more fortunate loca-
lity in the race of commerce or to create any rivalry
to the legitimate industry of other portions of the
empire, simply desires to place at the disposal of
enterprising men the undoubted advantages with
which nature has surrounded our magnificent bay,
as the most convenient high-road for intercourse
between these countries and the Western regions,
where millions of Irishmen sigh for quick .)r and
slrer means of constant and uninterrupted associa-
tion with their friends in Ireland ; and we must re-
gard with gratitudeand pride the countenance which
your Excellency's presence gives to the great enter-
prise that promises them those legitimate resnits.
"PETER DALY, P.P. and V. G., Chairman."
To which the following reply was returned by his
Excellency :
_ _

" Gentlemen,—lt affords mo the highest gratifi-
cation to receive this welcome from those who are
the authorised rep•esentativea of this city and its
inhabitants at the first moment of my arrival ; and
T can assure you with all sincerity that the cordial
feelings which you expr •ss towards me are recipro-
cal. I have always retained the most lively reool-
leciion of the kindness which I met with from you
during my former visit ; and though I perhaps
hoped that our meeting on that occasion was not
entirely forgotten by you, I could hardly anticipate
such a fl tttering reception as that which I am now
greeted with. I came then to inaugurate a magni-
ficent internal canal, which must tend greatly to
increase the trade not only of your city but of the
district to which it leads. I now come to rejoice
with you over the establishment of a project which
brings you in direct communication with the great
translantic republic, and bids fair to opt n to you
a career of great and rapidly increasing commercial
prosperity, and such as your ancestors could not
dream of, and the most sanguine amongst you
could scarcely a sh 4 rt time since have hoped for. It
will give me sincere pleasure if my presence in any
way assists in furthering this great enterprise, and
I yield to none of you in my earnest hope that it
may meet with that complete success which it so
well merits."

" Whereas it is expedient to amend the law re-
lating to cheques or drafts on bankers : Be it there-
fore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty,
by and with the advice and consent of the Loris
Spiritual and Temporal, and Common 9, in this
present parliament assembled, and by the authority
of the same, as follows :

"1. Whenever a check or draft on any banker,
payable to bearer, or to order, on demand, shall
be issued, crossed with the name of a banker, or
with two transverse lines with the words and
company,' or any abbreviation thereof, such cross-
ing shall be deemed a material part of the cheque
or draft, and, except as hereafter mentioned, shall
not be obliterated or added to or altered by ary
person whomsoever I.f.er the issuing thereof; and
the banker upon whom such cheque or draft shall
ba drawn shall not pay such cheque or draft to any
other than the banker with whose name such cheque
or draft shall be Po crossed, or if the same be
crossed as aforesaid without a banker's name, to
any other than a banker.

"2. Whenever any such cheque or draft shall
have been issued uncrossed, or shall be crossed
with the words, 'and company,' or any abbrevia-
tion thereof, and without the name of any banker,
any lawful holder of such cheque cr draft, while
the same remains so uncrossed, or crossed with the
words ' and company,' or auy abbreviation thereof,
without the name of any banker, may cross Via
same with the name of a banker ; and whenever
any such cheque or draft shall be uncrossed, any
such lawful holder may cross the• same with the
words and company,' or any abbreviation thereof,
with or without the name of a banker; and any such
crossing as in this section mentioned, shall be
deemed a material Fart of the cheque or draft, and
shall not be obliterated or added to or altered by
any person whomsoever after the making thereof ;
and the banker upon whom such cheque or draft
shall be drawn shall not pay such cheque or draft
t) any other than the banker with whose name such
cheque or daft shalt be so crossed as last aforesaid.

3. If any person shill obliterate, add to, or alter
any such crossing with intent to defraud, or offer,
utter, dispose of, or put off with intent to defraud,
any cheque or draft on a banker, whereon such
fraudulent obliteration, addition, or alteration has
been made, knowing it. to have been so made, such
person shall be guilty of felony, and, being con-
victed thereof, shalt b • liable, at the discretion of
the court, to be transported beyond the seas for
lite, or to such other punishment as is enacted and
provided fur those guil y of forgery of bills of es•
change in the statute in that case made and provided.
"4. Provided always, that any banker paying a
ch que or draft which does not at the time when it
is presented for payment plainly appear to be or to
have been crossed as aforesaid, or to have been obli-
terated, added to, or altered as aforesaid, shall not
be in any way respolainble or incur any liability, or
nor shall such payment be questioned by reason of.
such cheque having been so cra ssed as aforesaid, or
having been so obliterated, added to, or altered as
aforesaid., and of his having paid the same to a per-
son other than a banker, or other than the banker
with whose name such cheque or draft shall have
been so crossed, unless such banker shall have acted
male fide, or been guilty of negligence in so paying
such cheque.
"5. In the construction of this act the word
banker' shall include any person or persons, or
corporation, or joint-stock company, acting as a
banker or banke►s."
