(From the Dublin Morning Register.)
Yesterday a splendid dinner was given by the
Catholics of Ireland, and by the friends of civil
and religious liberty, to the Earl Fitzwilliam, at
Hayes' Great Rooms, Dawson-street. At sev en o' clo ck
upwards of 200. gentlemen sat down to an entertain-
ment, served up in Hayes' best style. he noble
and venerable Earl Fitzwilliam entered the room
leaning upon the arm of Mr. O'Gorman, Secretary
to the Catholics of Ireland, who conducted his Lord-
ship to his seat, at the right of the Chairman, Lord
Killeen. The whole company rose and testified by
one unanimous acclaim their sense of the public and
private worth of this most distinguished Nobleman.
As soon as the cloth was removed and grace said,
the Chairman gave
" The King.le—(Loud cheers.)--Tune," God save the
King."
The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave—
" rt he Duke of Clarence."—(Cheers.)
In proposing the next toast, the CHAIRMAN said,
I shall give you the health of the uncompromising
friend of civil and religious liberty—
" The Duke of Sussex."— (Great applause.)
The venerable and noble guest was most warm in
his plaudits after the announcement of this toast.
The CHAIRMAN said he would next give them—
" Old Irelan,'."—(Tremendous applause.)
The next toast was—
" TheAlarquirWellesley."—(Applause.)—Tute, "Sprig
of Shilelagh."
The Noble CHAIRMAN next gave the health of—
" The Marchioness Wellesley, and the fair maids and
matrons of Ireland."--(Loud cheers. )_Tune, " Kiss me,

Lady."
The CHAIRMAN said, he now rose to give the
health of the venerated Peer who had honoured
them this evening with his presence—
" The Earl Fitxwilliam."—(Long continued cheers.)
Lord Ferzwrwaxt, in returning thanks, said, it
is impossible for me to convey to you the senti-
ments which I entertain at the highly flattering
manner in which my health has been given and re-
ceived. I feel, as I ought to do, that this, I had al-
most said premeditated eulogium, which his Lord-
ship, who so ably ills your Chair, has so kindly pro-
nounced upon my conduct, is undeserving on my
part, and yet I cannot refrain from, expressing a de-
gree of pride at receiving it from your bands. Three
and thirty years ago I was deputed to govern this
country. I came here, not with the intention to carry
into execution any measures at that time can vassed,but
m determination was that should they be proposed
hey-would receive from me the most heartfelt support.
—(Cheers.)—l felt at that time, I now feel, that this
country ought to be not a palsied limb of a fettered
country, but a vital portion of a free and independent
nation. If the measures which I anticipated had
been carried into effect, this might—l firmly believe,
have taken place. But I was thwarted in the execu-
tion of measures which I then thought, and which I
still think, would be for the advantage of this country
and of Great Britain. I feel that I have received
from the people of Ireland more than ample recors-
pence for my public exertions upon that occasion.
The measures which I then advocated, and which
I s,

advocate, were intended to strengthen the
connection—they were fraught with no small benefit
to this country, and would have been salutary to the
empire at large.—(Cheers)—l cannot sit down,
without begging your permission to propose the
health of my Noble Friend on my right hand. It is
not for me to eulogize his worth—his country feels
'and properly appreciates it. It accords to him that
meed of approbation to which a virtuous public
character is entitled. I briefly thank you for the
high honour which you have conferred upon me, and
may I add this request, that you will unite with me
in toasting the health of my honoured and worthy

friend :--
" Lord Killeen."—(Loud cheers.)
Lord KILLEEN returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast
.contained a
sentiment which would be re-echoed throughout that
room. He would, without further preface, give-
-46 The cause of Civil and Religious Liberty all over the
world." . .

Mr. O'CoNNELL being loudly called for, rose, and
addressed the assembly, in an extremely energetic
and powerful speech, and concluded amidst the ap-
plause of the assembly."
The CHAIRMAN next gave—
The health of Lord Roasmore."
His LORDSHIP returned thanks.
Lord KILLREIi—It is sufficient for me to say, in
proposing the health of a distinguished guest, that I
have to introduce to your notice—
" The Honourable Frederick Ponsonby."
Mr. PONSONBY returned his most grateful thanks.
The CHAIRMAN—In former times, the first Law
Officer of the Crown was distinguished rather by
his politics than his legal knowledge. We Imre
now in that high station a man who has not come
amongst us as a partisan, but one who has declared,
above board, that a publics man should not fear to
have his acts canvassed by the community—
" The Lord Chancellor of Ireland."---(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN—Having drunk the first Law
Officer of the Crown, I shall now propose to you
the health of the Chief Secretary for Ireland—an
honest, upright, and liberal man—
The lion. Mr. Lamb."—(Cheers.)
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, although this is
not an exclusively Catholic assembly, I am sure that
every gentleman present will drink with pleasure the
heath of the chosen advocate of the Catholics in the
House of Lords—
" The Marquis of Lansdowne."—(Loud applause.)
" Sir Francis Burdett."—(Cheers.)
tpeomwpetresd ,o ifn m y
The CHAIRMAN—If I possessed the extraordinary
an illustrious
tiobnes
friend,
thl.leir.mOem'Coorynnoefll
patriot now no proposingmore, to e treview of into a
vast benefits which h conferredne upon this country.
But as I feel I should fall far short of the task, I
shall merely propose
" The Memory of the Right Hon. Henry Grattan."—
',Drank in solern-a silence.)
Mr. JAMBS GRATTAN—I could not hear the last
toast announced by my Noble Friend, without feel.
jug as a son of Henry Grattan, that a species of
duty was imposed upon me, of returning thanks to
this assembly. If anything could enhance the
pleasure which I feel on
_this occasion, it is the
presence of the venerated Nobleman, of whom my
father was the zealous and constant admirer.—(Hear,
hear.) If the advice given by the Noble Lord
(Fitzwilliam) to the Government, when he departed
from this country, had been since acted upon,_thish
city would not present the desert appearance whic
it at present exhibits. At that period there were
residing in this city 100 Noblemen and 300 Gentle-
men, who have been made absentees by that ruinous
measure—the Union. The Rebellion, in its conse-
quences, were bad, but the Union was much worse.
I am firmly convinced that the disposition of the
public mind is in favour of Universal Emancipation.
You should not )e deterred, in your exertions for
the accomplishment of that great measure, by any
temporary dilficu ties—
., Ne cede lulls, sed contra audentior ito."
The CHAIRMAQ said that the next health upon
his list was that cf—
" Lord Plunkett, the Chief Justice of Common Pleas."
(Here there wts a loud call for Mr. Shell.)
Mr. Smut, said—l obey the summons given by
this great assembly. In common with every Irish-
man I cannot but feel that this country is deeply in-
debted to Lord Ilunkett. I will not hide from you
my disapprobatim of specific measures, erroneously,
perhaps, attribued to that eminent person. But
allowance must )e made for the peculiarity of the
circumstances it which he was placed.—(Loud
cheers.) Lord ?lunkett has suffered in the cause of
the Catholics ofireland; in that cause he has been
a martyr.--(Load cheers.) And where is the man,
with a sound tuderstanding and a good heart, who
will,for a rnomett, put any mistakes which he may have
committed, andinto which be was hurried by circum-
stances, against the lasting benefits which he has be-
stowed upon heland,—(Cheers.) But enough upon
this topic, upor laltich I own that I speak witnhd d some
reluctance. I di& not court him in power, aGo
, forbid that I slould reflect injuriously and unjustly
