The Sun was brought into the theatre, eont"6111. 901,
full report of the speech of Mr. OCon
for'
the rapidity with which the report was tort
al
nished excited great sensation.) The,hout
he had to propose was " Trial by Jury
wz
ft-..d," to which he had the honour to
appesd
the " Independent Bar of England and IrelaTii4
(Loud cheers.) Had trial by jury • pre .431 x,
at the late trials in Ireland? Certainly not. ad
O'Connell had been tried by a jury that.consiste t
Protestants and Tories and who could doubt t
.j
such a jury would find him guilty ? The Ta,
Gentleman concluded by moving—" Trial by
without fraud, or suspicion of fraud."
The toast was then drunk with loud applauic
GLEE AND CHORUS.
Bid the festive glass go round,
Harmony and mirth'abound,
Ev'ry social frolic soul;
Call to share my cheerful 1)0w1=
humour, wit, and sense combiu'd,
To frankness and good-nature pied-
These social friends alone invite
To grace my Festival to-night.
Then till fur them the goblet up,
For while with them I drink the cup,
I feel no want, my cares are gone,
I live a thousand years in one.

Mr. Sergeant Muarity, in acknowledging „
toast, said that, at that late hour of the e'''r;
ing, and labouring, as he was, under a seve
cold, he must content himself with' a very-few W°n', 001
in reply to the toast. He had left his profeasiles,
avocations, and travelled a distance of. 200 Ina,
at once to show his respect to their illustrious
and his gratitude to the English people for the kin
ness shown to his countrymen.—(Loud cheets;
It was his duty in his place in Fa.-irbch
ment to animadvert on the way in I‘tbe
the recent trials had been carried on, and to 111911
suspicious circumstances which attended the 11'1%07 •
stration of the law on that occasion. He gin Ecl-
tained that opinion, and should ever express it; silo
there was another opinion he also felt bound
express, and that was, that the bar of Irelanu 11,
raised itself by the talent displayed on the late °ec,,r.
sion to the highest pinnacle of fame and hen°-
Mr. llisnmiy, M.P. then came forward to per.
pose the toast of " The Press." They were all
der great obligations to the exertions of the pr
and an example of the great and rapid ei"°'a rto
which could be made by the Press' was already
that room, for they had a report of the Diu%
including the speech of Lord ShrewsburZ oricissoi
portion of that of Lord Carom's, in 7.4 e bst%
newspaper.=-(Cheers.) Now, as the hour Wa, ,h 9
all he could say was, considering the lateness 01 73
hour, that he hoped the press would use its honest
sincere exertions in cementing the union
"Just.bet)".eco
Great Britain and Ireland, and procuring
to Ireland."

Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to propose the hew—„.•e,
the Chairman. It was not in hiswer to do
power
to the sentiments of gratitude which he eatepir
tamed towards the Chairman, for the Ina!'
in which he conducted himself that nlg t'
and for the manliness with which he associated 131.11113;
self with this cause, and set at defiance every -eagli,a.
which was set against him. Every
in him an enemy, and the dexterity of the A1ia1.5„,0
found no rampart against his persuasive descriPti`ior
of wrong. He belonged to no party, and was itiller;te •-•
to all.—(Loud cheers) He never gave a erg
oppressor 10.11ter
which was not a record of his honour, and he ri-os'i
was found absent from his place when the cliqg
of justice required it. He congratulated the asseralure.
on having so excellent a Chairman, and he NvO,s;cg
they would heartily respond to his toast by drill—
.,
his health in three times three.

The toast was then drank amid acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN then returned thanks, and
sit
that it was owing to the kindness of the meeting ',O„
he had discharged his duties well, if he had done is
It was the greatest compliment ever paid to no 130
his political life, the being called to preside on,:ti,
occasion. It was a compliment not only to
self; but to the constituency he had the hon.°'—to
representing, in being called on on this occalwili,,d
preside, when the sympathy of the people of Engt,"iis
was expressed to the people of Ireland. Therebt-not
however, one toast, without giving which they ought
to separate, namely, "The Fair Sex." He was sure !`^-1
would exercise their influence in behalf of Ire',l3.
with their relations and friends. With the
toast he would couple that of " The Stewarda;
hom they were so much indebted for the
meats of the evening.—(Hear, hear.)
GLEE AND CHORUS.
Fill a bumper to the Fair !
Love and Wine defy Des--

1-1- 'pair ;
Wine can make a coward brave,
Love can make a Prince a Slave.
Friendship ! Love ! and Sparkling Wine!
Form a Diadem divine.
Fill high, fill high, &c.
The toasts were then drank with applause. Three,th
cheers were then given for Mr. O'Connell, aild,4l )
