spoke nearly as fellows : Lords and Gentlemen—When
you lately drank my health, as Likil Lieutenant of Irda•ol,
do assure )ou, 'kat I attt 'bitted a great share of the enthusiasm
that was then t winced, to your desire of paying a comelimert
to the situation which I fill, rather than to the person who fells
it; ha now that you have repeated that honor in my men indi-
vi eat esp..eily, wtut au iorre.•ed energy, bow can 1. convey
to you a just i lea rf my feelings ? lam wholly un..ble to ezyre.s
them, and abandon the avenipt as hopeless. Let me be permitted,
however, for one moment, to advert .to the obliging invitation I re-
ceived to attend this dinner. I will not disgei.e front
.you. my
Lord.. and Gentlemen (for 1 ahhor disguise, under as ciuunt-
stance) that I had an impression upon my mind that this was a
Club of a decidedly polit:c.ll charact, r ; and I doubted if could,
consistent with the ruks I had prescribed to myself, attend hs
niecti. gs. It is not that I °bite( to political clubs; but there
are certain situations in which it is better to avoid wising to
them. It is, I believe, pretty well known upon wiser
assumed the Government of this counttl—independent, un-
prejudiced, unfettered, by any political engsgement—llllii*J.
✓imed by any party feeling, I carne here with but one obiect in
view—the general prosperity of Ireland. I felt then that with
these views, it might be u advisable to attend a political club.
An invitation, however, was sent me, • and your Noble and •
Worthy Chairman was the person who brought. it. I instautly
stated to his Lordship my difficulties, and be as speedily re-
moved therm He amazed me this Club was nut exclusave—
that it had not a political character—that is was open to all
parties—that 'I should meet men of various political creeds and
opinions—that not a toast would be drank, not a sentiment would'
be uttered, which could be strained even by the must fastidious
(and Gon forbid that.l should be one of these) into leaving even
a tinge of party feeling. Illy Lords and Gentlemen, I was thus
totally disarmed, and I surrendered myself into the handa of the
Noble Earl. I accepted the invitation, and I rejoice that I did so..
It now only remains for me to assure you that the liberal, the con- .
siderate, and the delicate attention shown me by this explanation,
and the kind and anxious wish which you have evinced .to amen taro
me this day at dinner here, have left the liveliest impressions upon
my heart. With the'permission of the Chair, I beg leave to pro-
pose a toast —" The Earl of Bathdown and the Members of the
the Beef Steak Club."

Among other. toasts were the following:—" The Marcel, of
Downshlre and the resident Landlords of Ireland."

The NonLs MARQUIS said he felt very deeply the
compliment paid him,•which received add.tional weight
in consequence of his name being coupled with the re-
sident landlords-of Ireland. Upon the points, of reii-
dency he had frequently expressed his opinion, in its
necessity he cordially concurked, and he tclt proud in
being able to tank himself amongst those who resided
•
in Ireland.
" The Huke of Wellington and his Majesty's Mlnisters—Lord
Hill and the Army—Lord Talbot—Mr. Lamb—Sir George Mur-
ray and the Army serving in Ireland—Lord Saltoun and the Grena-
dier Guards—Lord Manners (great cheering)—Lord Comberaitre
—Mr. Saurin" (immense cheering).
The Ladies Paget, with a select party, occupied the
room adjoining tie gallery, which, with the anti-room,
n ere crowded with Ladies of the first fashion, dist:ne-
tinn, and consequence. His Excellency did nor. leave
the Club--so delighted was he with the enzer tainment
till a quarter before one o'clock.
