ADDRESS TO LORD PALMERSTON.
A special meeting of the town commissioners of Sligo was
held on Monday, to consider the propriety of presenting an
address to Lord Palmerston. Mr. W. C. Tute occupied the
chair.
Mr. MOSES MONDS, J. P., in an eloquent address,
said that there could be no second opinion as to the pro-
priety of presenting an address to Lord Palmerston on the
eccasion of his visit here. As the town and harbour corn-
miseeners represented, as a body, all classes in Sligo, he
thought the address could emanate from them. No
doubt there were differences of opinion betwixt the
members; some where Whigs, some were Radicala, and,
like himself, steam were Conservatives; but he thought
they could all unite in admiration of his lordship's
abilities and indornitab:e coerage, and for his heerty
love and regard for the interests and honour of this country.
They could also all fully appreciate and concur in respect for
his excellent character as a private gentleman and landlord.
lie thought they might also be able to go a little further
unanimously and express their full concurrence in tile voice
of the nation at a period of great difficulty in the history of
the country ; and when misrule, mismanagement, and job-
bery reduced the nation to the great crisis in the Russian
war Lord Palmerston was the man called upon to conduct
it through that arduous struggle. So far, they could all go
unanimously, whether they were Whigs or Conservatives.
He thought that the commissioners would be all happy to
convey their esteem and respect to the foremost man of the
age, whose word till yesterday might have stood against the
world. He then moved that a committee be appointed to
prepare an address to his lordship.
Mr. ANDREW WALKER said that, as one of Lord
Palrnerston's tenants, he coincided in every word that had
dropped from Mr. Mends, and therefore seconded the
motion, which was put to the meeting and carried unani-
mously
The committee then retired to prepare the address, and
during their absence a message was sent to his lordship, in-
quiring whether he would be pleased to receive the address,
and if so, what hour would be most convenient for him ?
His Lordship' expressed his willingness to receive the
address, and fixed four o'clock for its presentation.
At four o'clock the commissioners proceeded in a body to
his lordship's rent-office, where they were met by his lord-
ship.
Mr. WILLIAM C. TUTE, chairman, read the following
Address :
"To the Right Hoe. the Viscount Palmerston.
" We, the commissioners of the town and harbour of
Sligo, including also the members of the municipal corpora-
tion, beg respectfully to address your lordship on the occa-
sion of your present visit.
" Respecting, as our body does, all classes in Sligo, and
consisting of men of different political opinions, we all unite
in expressing our high admiration of your lordship's public
and private character.
"Having responded to the call of the nation to guide its
affairs at a most critical period of its history, your lordship,
by indomitable energy and consummate ability, conducted
the arduous struggle to a successful issue, maintaining in
its integrity the honour, diguity, and independence of our
country.
" Feeling, as we know your lordship does, a deep interest
in the prosperity of this locality, you will be gratified to hear
that, although our progress is slow, the trade and commerce
of the town are steadily increasing. We have also made
considerable improvements in our harbour, unaided, so far,
by any public grant, and aro still devoting our limited in-
come to the same object, being encouraged to do so by the
knowledge of the fact that this port is capable of being made
the first on the west coast of Ireland, and at the present its
trade exceeds any other in the province.
" We are happy to have this opportunity of expressing to
your lordship the high esteem in which you are held as a
kind and generous landlord, and trust you may long be
spared to assist in the councils the nation, and to preside
over year tenantry."
The address was signed by upwards of 20 commissioners.
His LORDSHIP then said—Gentlemen, I beg very sin-
cerely to thank you for this very kind and flattering mark
of your goodwill and esteem. It is the more gratifying
to me under the circumstances you mention that it proceeds
from a body representing all classes and all political opi-
nions. You are pleased to mention the manner in which
I and my colleagues of the late Government performed
those duties which we were severally called upon to dis-
charge. All that is a matter of history now, and we
may speak of it with more freedom. I was certainly
called upon by our Sovereign to form a Government,
under great difficulty, at a moment when other persons who
had, before that time, been the heads of Administration,
from various reasons declined or were unable to form a
Ministry. I felt that, accepting, under these circum-
stances, the charge which my Sovereign was graciously
pleased to impose upon me, I should be supported by the
generous confidence of the country. I called to act along
with me colleagues of ability and integrity in whom I had a
perfect confidence; and I am glad to say teat we were able
to bring to a successful termination the arduous war in
which we found the country involved—the arduous, just,
and necessary war. It was unanimously agreed to by the
country, and, acting in co-operation with the allies of our
Sovereign, we succeeded in bringing that war to a successful
and honourable termination—we succeeded in obtaining from
our enemy a peace entire and satisfactory, and on conditions
which no man would have deemed possible two years before
that, peace was concluded. (Hear, hear.) We succeeded
in the very difficult negotiations which followed the con-
clusion of that peace in leading our opponent to a faithful
fulfilment of all its conditions!, and I need not assure you
that that was a task requiring perseverance. (Hear,
hear.) When that was concluded there came upon us
that disastrous upheavinz in India which has attracted
the attention cf the whole nation from that time to this.
We used every method of sending to our countrymen
there those military and naval resources which have
enabhel them to suppress the rebellion, and re-establish the
authority of Great Britain. We proposed to Parliament, much
anaitist the forebodings of many, who thought our mea-
sure would not be carried, a bill transferring to the Crown
the government of these provinces—a measure, in my own
opinion, indispensably necessary as a foundation for the
future improvement and stability of India. That measure
was taken up by our successors, with some alter ations,
which I need not advert to, more or less in accertlance with
its principles, and has passed into law, and will insure sta-
htlity in our Indian empire. (Hear, hear, and applause.)
Gentlemen, I am glad to bear from you that the trade and
commerce of this port, which I will call a great Irish sea-
port, is improving. I am also glad to bear that you rely, I
would say that we rely—(applause)—upon our own re-
sources. (Hear, hear ) I am looking upon myself as one
of you in regard to these matters. (Applause.) I am
perfectly sure that no town has ever risen to great prosperity
that did not rely entirely upon its own resources. (Hear,
hear.) The habit of appealing to public revenue for doing
that which interests those who live on the spot, and
who should therefore put their shoulders to the wheel, is a
habit that engenders apathy and want of activity, and is sure
to produce obstructions to improvement. This town is des-
tined by its nature to he one of the chief s?apo to in Ireland,
and Mr. Black would make it the Liverpool of Ireland. We
have a loon way to go le fere that, but depend upon it this
tnw't must continue to prosper a, d increase in all its mate-
riel interests, and I am too much interested in it not to look
forw ,rd eith great hope and eon-sal:Won to these prospects.
Yoe have been kind enough to mention my relations with
my tanaetry. I am glad to see that they are sharing in the
general improvement of the country. I have been very
much gratified to see the improved habits and condition of
t'h-, people, and to henr how further demands will insure a
further supply, and that the general improvement which
everybedy arias prevails over Ireland has extended also to
that wild (Nth Het that lies under Benbulben. (Applause.)
II:s lordship then retirad, and the commissiotters separated.
THE TENANT RIGHT CONFERENCE.
This body met again yesterday, when the fullhwing re-
solutions, among others, were passed :
"That, having beard the watetnents of the honourable
members for Dungarvan and Tipperary, on the proceedings
taken for the furtherance of the cause in the last session of
Parliament, this conference is of opinion that the Tenant
Right Bill so ably advocated by them is the smallest demand
that, in full justice to the tenant, it can consent to put for-
ward in their name; and that Mr. Maguire and The
O'Doncgehue are hereby requested again to introduce it, and
to procure the amplest discussion for its previsions during
the ensuing aession.
" That the intimation held out by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, that the question should receive the considera-
Hen of Government, in the opinion of this conference, is
not satisfactory ; and that Lord Derby's Government, hexi-
ng opposed the consideration of the tenants' claims by a
committee of the honae, tenant-right representatives should
hold themselves independent of, and in opposition to,
that Government."
CARDINAL 'WISEMAN IN IRELAND.
The Freeman says, in its issue of this morning :—" We
unr'erstand that his eminence has acceded to the request
of StrJohn Bradstreet, Bart.. president, and the council of
Ireland of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to deliver a
pub'ic lecture for the society in Dublin on his return from
Ballinasloe."
The Church is resolved to profit by the Cardinal's visit.
At-Ballinasloe he is to consec-ate a chapel, and preach a
sermon, which can only be listened to on payment of some-
thing like thirty shillings a head by the faithful. This beats
Spurgeon, who has created some amusement in Br lfast from
he business-like way in which be arranged his "specula-
tion."

adapted to remove all disorders of the stomach and bowels to
which infants and children are at all times liable, such as

fants. We quote a few out of many testimonials :
Amsterdam, Dec. 1852.—Dear Sir—Our child, up to the
age of eleven weeks, was very delicate and wasting away,
and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour OR its stomach,
causing great suffering. We then fed it upon Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica which agreed wonderfully with her ; and
she is now, at the age of nine months, a plump and lively
little girl.—Daniel Serve. Wildervank, Holland, 20th Sept.,
1853.—Dear Sir—Our baby, which Heaven presented us
with ten months hack, was attacked, when four weeks old,
with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which seven
previous infants had all ben carried off, and this last child
seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before many
days, for cur doctor, al very able practitioner, had, during
three weeks, exhausted all his skill, and wAs at a loss what
to prescribe next, when he advised Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change
for the better in a few days ; and in six weeks time the
child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy
, —a source of the greatest happiness to us all.— L. II .Vaal man.
