On l‘londay sennight, in consequence of an
invitation by a number of the most respectable
Gentlemen in the County of Down, a sumptuous
entertainment Was given in the County Rooms at
Downpatrick, to the Right Hon. Lord CASTLE..
OKAGH, one of the Members, representing the
County in Pat!lament. About one hundred
Noblemen and Gethlemen sat down to dinner in
the ball-romn, which afforded the best accommo-
dation for sci numerous an assemblyd

Right Hon, Lord Dukerin in the Chair, sup-
ported by Lord Jocelyn and Mr. Nugent, his
croupips.

• -
After dinner, on the cloth being temoved, the
Usual loyal toasts were given, the hand playing
appropriate tulles after each.
Upon Lord Viscount Castlereagh being given,
his Lordship rose, and stated how sensible lie was
of the distinguished honour paid him ; that it
was impossible for hint to express his feelings in
language sufficiently strung. This testimony of
kindness and approbation from the eonnty with
which be was so closely connected, after a long
protracted 'war,, and an .artioons struggle for
peace, was the highest gratification to him, as an
Individual entrusted by the Prince Ilegent with
the momentous discharge of a politic duty. His
Lordship Made a Very animated Speech, which was
received with great enthusiasm, and begged
leave, before be sat down, to give the Cbunty of
Down.
The Martinis of Londonderry, the Governor of
thd County of Down.
Lord Castlereagh rose, and apologised for Isis
father's absence, which, he was sorry, to slaw,
arose from indisposition; and here, he observed,
he had to take responsibility upon hituself, hay.
log with difficulty prevailed upon his Lordship to
remain at !mine, fully persuaded `the company
would forgive hint this privation, When lie assured
'bent he considered his father's 'state of health
would in all probability be mater billy injured, hall
he been permitted to gratify himself by being pre-
sent
.at this great compliment paid to hip soh.
The. Marquis of Downshire.
On the health of the Marqu!s of Downsllke bring

feels More a illrug than soy Noble Friend dots, to
pay a proper coMpliment or mark of that perional
respect whieh is due to the Noble Lord, both as
his etiotitrs.man and as One of the MeMbers of the
County ; but, nevertiieleis, his Lordship feels
that so attend here this day, even Tor that purpose,.
would be inconsistent With his 'public character
as a Member Of the [louse of Peers, where he has
'not only uniformly been in oppoSitiou to the mess
sores' proposed by the Noble Lord in his official
capacity, but where he may also find it 'necessary
to oppose thnse Measures again in the ensuing,
ziessioo. On my Dien part, I cannot resist the Op-
portunity afforded me of congrattriatinls the Coun-
ty upon the happy amalgamation (if I may so
ex press it) which now presents itself. The County
of Duwn, always famed for manly
liberality
amt. hospitable habits, .was never. more conspieu-
o osly so than upon the presents occasion, when,
laying aside for a morneof all politiCal differences,
‘vithont by means compromising the pritiCi-
pks from which. those differences arise, we meet
together around the social hoard,- for the sole and
common purpose, of inling a wark

to our Noble Cinintryinan on his return
toiris` native land, after' the in thlout situation its

which he has lately been placed and where the
Noble-Lord. exhibited talents, of which (apart
troth tptestionableftnints of political policy) the
County iiti•Dliwn-has.reann to be proud.
Lord Castlereagh rose, and made._ a most ani-
,

mated and handsome reply, tvhieb bronght forth
an effusion of applause, but which we ate tinisbk
to do ample justice to. Ills Lordship expressed
cis satisfaction at the hind manner in. which the
Noble Alarquis had been rtinesented by the last
gentleman who bad spoken that he had always

Marquis, and be was certain hisacts.were governed

objects of the entertaiitment given to hint—it eras

Service to the best of his judgment and ability.
That it was peculiarly gratifying to him to receive
this coMpliotent from many Gentlemen who had
differed with him in opinion ; but this was a gin-
does and a beneficial part of our happy constitu-
tion, that we should not all see the same objects.
in the sense view, nor the same potsuits in the

able contrariety. of opinon, should ail eagerly exert •

The Marquis of Donegal.
Sir Stephen May rose, and requested permis-
sion of the Noble President and the sober Gen-
tlemen to make, on the part of Lord Donegal.

paid him ; and be begged leave to state that tio-

to the iehabitants of a town whit. which he was
so intimately connected, lind a population one of
the most enlightened and independent in the em-
pire, the Noble Lord bail had with them, the op-
pertotiity of doing themselves justice,. by piing
hen` jost tribute due to the talents and the ser-
vices of their noble guest. His Lordship.Woeld

and personal esteem, but as a just mark of attest-
!ion tine tci a Statesman forming a part at that Go-
vernment which had brought us so gloriously and -
so nobly through the late protracted anal painful
struggle, :tti the negoeiation of a peace, which
was only to he marked by its justice and moslera-
tion, by which our country and our constitution
were placed, as far as' human wisdom could pro-
vide, beyond. the:reach of future danger, and in
which our• honest integrity was made the ad-
miration of Europe, and by which humanity and
religion hid to rejoice that the seal was put to the
doom of a traffic which had so long disgraced the
civilized world. There is no man, said Sir S. who
has the feelings of an Irishivan. whatever opinion
he might indulge in,' but most. be proud that n
countryman , was the instrument to effect such

his Noble Friend's :egret for not being with them

municating to ltitn.
