LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1867.

Banquets seem to be the fashion now-a-days in
all directions, and a most successful one has just been
given in Belfast to celebrate the Congress which had
assembled there. The entertainment was given in
the Ulster Hall by Lord DUFFERIN, its President,
and a brilliant company assembled on the occasion.
Referring to the manner in which the Lord Lieu-
tenant has conducted affairs, the noble lord paid
him a high tribute, and declared that he had gained
the esteem and confidence of all by his strict
attention and courteous conduct. There is no doubt
whatever that the time which has elapsed since Lord
A BERCORN' s arrival in Ireland to perform the duties of
Lord-Lieutenant has been a most critical one, and
that he has been placed in a far more awkward
position, and one more fraught with grave respon-
sibility, than any of his predecessors for long years
past. The success which has attended his career
fully justifies the encomiums passed upon him by
Lord DUFFERIN, when he said that his administra-
tion had been signalised by " great firmness, great
humanity, perfect impartiality, and by great suc-
cess." The noble lord also alluded to the custom
which prevails of abnegating " party spirit," in
order that the welfare of Ireland may be the
first object, and not the furtherance of the
peculiar views to which the political associates of
any Lord Lieutenant may belong. This habit has
not been departed from by the distinguished indivi-
dual who now presides over affairs, and it is most
fortunate that it should be so, for there never was an
occasion which called for more firmness, "skill, and
judgment than the present state of Ireland. Mr.
DUDLEY FIELD made a characteristic speech in pro-
posing the " Mayor and Corporation of Belfast."
He said that those who were residents, and natives
of the old school, could little tell what were the
feelings of those who came to it from the west.
Referring to the geographical position of Ireland, he
remarked that of all the eastern continent Ireland
was pressed the furthest towards the west, and that
it seemed thus as if Providence had brought these
northern regions together on both sides in order that
they might be inhabited by " kindred races," who
should hold each other by the hand. He added, in
pursuance of this theme, " Coming to your coasts,
and seeing the rocks out in the sea lashed by the
waves, I fancied almost that they were portions of
the mountains that had slipped into the water on
their way to America." Mr. DUDLEY FIELD con-
cluded his impressive remarks by the eloquent
description of the beauties of the Emerald Isle, and
gave as an illustration the expression with which the
American Indian signified a place of great beauty—
he called it a " smile of the Great Spirit ;" and he
went on to say that since he had been there he had
thought if one could have been lifted into the upper
air, " far above the noise and dissonance of earth,
and could have seen the whole of this bright island
beneath him, with its multitudinous lakes, their faces
of silver, and rivers of emerald, their large ranges of
mountains, and girdling all the deep green sea, I
would have been tempted to say—' Tbis is a smile
of the Great Spirit.' "
Considerable amusement was caused by the re-
marks of the Bishop of Tuam in discoursing on the
National Association for the Promotion of Social
Science. lie said he was glad that the members of
the Congress had not neglected a great power which
exercised much influence, besides those subjects
which came under their immediate province. An
illustrious statesman was once asked by a friend
what argument he had better employ to convince a
colleague with whom he had a difference, and the
reply was, " Don't think of argument, but just ask
him to dinner." The Secretary of the Association
was happy in being able to comment upon the
general success which had attended their efforts, and
the Meeting which has just been held in Belfast he
declares to have been one of the best they ever had.
Judge O'HAGAN'S observations are worthy of notice,
as they refer to opinions that may have been shared
by many respecting the merits of these meetings.
He confessed that at one time he had thought that
the Social Science Association was more or less a
matter of talk ; that it was, in fact, a platform,
on which people came to perform, with perhaps few
results to show for that performance. He saw,
however, that it was not so, for it brought together
men of various classes and various opinions, and
then it conferred a great good on society, and
benefited the country in many ways. Sir
JAMES SimrsoN's speech was very entertaining,
for he began by expressing his doubts as to whether
such a meeting as that which called them together
really promoted social health. After advising the
people of Belfast to look to their sanitary state,
which was anything but satisfactory, he cautioned
them against quarrelling, which he found was pre-
valent, on the authority of an Irish coachbuilder,
who assured him that the cause of the jaunting-
cars being made back to back was that an "Irish
family could not be put face to face for a single day
without their fighting." Altogether this assembly
was a very successful one, and formed an appro-
priate finale to the visit of the Asssociation, which
will long recall pleasant thoughts.

The arrival of the Persia, from New York on the
18th inst., reports that the deadly enemy of the
Southern States is playing havoc in several districts.
In New Orleans the ravages of yellow fever con-
tinue unabated, as in parts of Texas, while among
the most prominent victims at Galveston is General
GRIFFIN, who was commanding the fifth military
district until the arrival of General HANCOCK. The
temporary command of the district has been assumed
by General MOWER, while General llANcocit is
expected to proceed to • New Orleans. General
GRIFFIN'S order, removing several judges from the
Supreme Court of Texas, has been revoked by
orders from Washington. Meantime there are
symptoms of change in the balance of political
parties. There can no longer be any question that
the Democrats are gaining ground and the Radicals
losing their hold on public favour. Many things
have contiihuted to this result, which men of all
parties are beginning to recognise. In some parts
the extravagent legislation respecting the sale of
intoxicating drinks, which is recommended by pro-
minent Radicals, has alienated their followers. In
others the lavish expenditure which they have sanc-
tioned has incensed the commercial circles. No
one can pretend that they have brought the national
affairs to a prosperous condition after an almost
uninterrupted lease of power. Whatever the pre-
vailing origin of the growing popular discontent
with Radicalism, the figures at the recent state
elections leave no doubt that such is the case.
Meantime another prominent question of the day is
the influence of the Irish vote, not only on the
corning elections, but on the national policy.
Fenianism has been holding high council,
and it is understood that the Fenian Con-
gress resolved that the Fenian vote should be
.given for which ever side would do most for
Ireland. As we may fairly include th majority of

the Iris ,h votes with these, the total will amount to
half a million— certainly, in the present critical
positiol i of parties, a tempting bait for the leaders
on eith or aide. Perhaps those shrewd observers are
not far wrong who find in this matter the explana-
tion of h: fr. SEWARD'S illogical and menacing de-
spatch of A. ug. 27. The Alabama question has been
always kept ion the shelf ready to bring forward
when an ext mse for a quarrel was wanted, and
though with gold at 143, as we learn by
the Cable, even Mr. SEWARD will think twice of
turning wore's into deeds, and threats into ships of
war; but he finds it serviceable as a rallying cry to
summon the Irish to his side. Happily Lord
STANLEY is too temperate and too firm to be
frightened front his propriety by the dark hints, the
lofty indignation, and the wounded feelings of the
American Mini:der. lie knows that the American
people have too much common sense and too large
an experience to confound the Fenians with the Con-
federates, or to place in the same rank a body of
professional agitators, to whom the contributions of
servant girls is a matter of moment, and whose most
formidable achievement has been the capture of a
police van, on a level with the armies under LEE
and JACKSON. Mr. SEWARD is determined to make
the most of his case, and directs Mr. ADAMS, in
calling Lord STANLEY'S attention to the subject, to
" dwell upon some of its important features," which
may not, he thinks, have sufficiently engaged the
attention of the British Government. Accord-
ingly, presuming on Lord STANLEY'S insuffi-
cient acquaintance with a matter every
detail of which every politician in both
countries knows pretty well by heart, Mr. SEWARD
goes back to the very commencement and
starts with "In the beginning of the year 1861."
However, he is perhaps right in thinking we in this
country need additional information on the subject,
since he presents it to our consideration under a
new aspect. The mighty war upon which the atten-
tion of the whole civilised world was centred during
four eventful years, the war whose gigantic battles
brought back the recollection of the greatest crises of
European history, had its origin in " a domestic dis-
turbance, which although it had severe peculiarities,
yet was in fact only such a seditious insurrection
as is incidental to national progress in every State."
The point which Mr. SEWARD insists upon, and
which is the real difficulty in the way of negotiation
or arbitration in the matter is, that America has
ground of complaint against England for having
recognised the Confederates as belligerents. The
answer to this has been so often repeated that Mr.
SEWARD himself and every member of the Federal
Government must be perfectly familiar with it.
Lord STANLEY cannot acknowledge that the United
States have a right to control the foreign policy of
this country. No English Minister, no Minister of
any country in Europe, could make such an admission.
I Whether or no the Southerners should be recognised
; as belligerents was a question which every State
• settled for itself, but the Federal Government itself
narrowed the alternative into recognising them as
such, or disregarding the blockade. Mr. SEWARD
• evades this part of the question, as he does:every
other part which finds too ready an answer. He
likes to keep to vague generalities, to high-sounding
phrases, to mysterious innuendoes and allusions to
Fenianism, anything that will do to keep the cor-
respondence going until the elections are over, and
the Irish vote secured, when the Alabama claims
may go by until the next opportunity.

It will be a satisfaction to all who are interested
in his career to learn that General GARIBALDI has
been conveyed to Caprera. It is true that we are
not told the particulars of the affair, but so far the
intelligence that we receive is satisfactory. It has
given rise to great anxiety in many directions to
think what would be done with the distinguished
prisoner, and, although he is still in all probability
under a sort of surveillance, he is comparatively
free, and he is, moreover, at home again. Consider-
ing the rash venture in which ho engaged,
and the extreme temerity of his proceed-
ing, altogether there is great cause for
rejoicing that nothing worse should have occurred
between his departure and return. Mortifying as
the reflection of this affair will be to himself and his
friends, still the general public will not forget all
about it, and turn to other objects of more engross-
ing interest and greater importance. It might have
been otherwise, however, and there might have been
sad chronicles connected with the matter. It is
extremely difficult to say what will be the future
course pursued by GARIBALDI, as he has mixed.
himself up so much in this undertaking that it
seems wellnigh useless to hope or expect that
he will be persuaded to give up his efforts, and
remain quiescent. Let us, however, hope for the best,
and trust that the summary rebuff which he has
met with may bring some wisdom to GARIBALDI'S
IllOUght:4, and impose a wholesome restraint on his
impulsive followers. At any rate, bloodshed has
been avoided, and with firmness and judgment the
Italian Government may be able to maintain order
without having recourse to violent measures.
Surely sufficient has been learnt by past misfortunes
to impress on the minds of all the importance of
not rushing into foolish extremes.
