he anticipated—(Loud applause). —The opEration of the
former was perhaps gratifying but that of the lattei.
Was more certain and stahle, and would invigorate the
country through which it flowed, and the spring from
,Lich it was supplied; and like the blood, which, cir-
culating through and vivifying the extremities, returned
to the heart from which it flowed, wohld add to the
}with and refreshing spirit of the gejleral mass. lie
ranked them most heartily for the compliment which
had paid. him—(Applause).
The TREASURER read the report of the collection of
the pt esent year in aid of the funds of the Society, which,
we are happy to hear; was gratifying.
The Mice of WELLINGTON then drank

.. The health of his Royal Highness the Chairman, as President
fr the day."
The Duke of Yon returned thanks, and repeated
e:e gratification he felt in presiiing at this festival.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed
1* The health of the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
The CHANCELLOR of the Excia.tavEit, in returning'
I thanks, hoped they would allow him.to express his sen
timents, as this was the first time he had had the honour
of attending one of their festivals, and never had lie felt
more gratification than at seeing himself on this occa-
sion surrounded by personages not less distinguished for
their illustrious birth, splendid talents, and ply/ate worth
—(Rpplause). Nlen possessing adverse opinions upon
other topics, but here only actuated by one spit it of
honest-ernblation, to see who could confer the greatest
benefit on the Saciety—(Applause). For himself, be
could only express his thanks for this mark of their at-
tention; and though he could not boast of the honour
of being an Irishman, yet he hoped he was not insen-
sible to those kindred feelings which bound Englishmen
to Leland by every tie which could link man to man,
and bind their kindred in reciprocal attachments.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed
1. The health of Sir John Doyle."
Sir JOHN DOYLE, in returning thanks, said that they
had placed him in the dilemma of confessing that he
was taken by surprise, and that too, in the presence of
Lis own illustrious commander—(A laugh). But when
he looked around and saw the Jury by which he was
to be tried, he anticipated,an honourable acquittal. He
then said, that to speak seriously, he felt an unabated
attachment to this society, and would continue to the
last one of its firm supporters. This was, he thought,
one of the proudest anniversaries which the society had
ever enjoyed.: He concluded by warmly compliment-
ing their Royal Chairman.
The healths of the Marquis of Londonderry, of the
Vice-Presidents, Mr. Bainbridge, _the Treasurer, the
Stewards, and other officers of' the institution, were then
successively given ; and the Duke of York left the chair
soon after ten o'clock, accompanied by the principal
personages who sat near him.
