to do justice to his feelings on this occasion, and to expre9
his gratitude for the kind recoption which they had glrel
to the toast which had just been drunk. (Hear, heel,

Englishmen—(hear, hear)—and they believed that 11
was this characteristic of love, humanity, honour'

with loud applause.
The COMMODORE, in an appropriate speech, and With
much feeling, returned thanks for the compliment.
The COMMODORE proposed the health of the noble
Chairman, in highly complimentary terms, which was re'
ceived with the loudest applause.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the compliment,
I He felt exceedingly proud of the R. M. Y. C. He then
entered into some tacetious remarks on his own exploits_
as a yachtman, stating that he had himself had a yacht of
6 tons that had navigated under Battersea Bridge'
(Laughter.) His boat was a wholesome vessa
and though she was none of the swif'est, she
was one of the safest. He rejoiced that, though the
Mersey had not by himself, as by others, been deetoel
very suitable for yachting, what the club had done prove
that it was so, and if it were now and then attended'
with danger, there was the more merit in vanquishing it

He concluded by proposing the health of those distil;

their fellow-creatures on the direful day, the events ,°
which bad called the club together—he alluded to Au.;

deprecat,d that unkindly national feeling sornetilw"
expressed between foreign nations, for here waa,s/3
instance. and a fortunate one, in which foreigners (alto,
some had taught us, would eat us up if they cow,"
sheaved the kindest sympathy, and encountered ll'
greatest perils to save the lives of their fellow-creature'
without regard to the country to which they belonged
He proposed their health with as heartfelt feeling as 01
were his own countrymen. (Tremendous cheers, all
" one cheer more.")
Admiral GRENFEI.L (with whom also stood up captsi°
Lisboa) replied in feeling and manly terms. Next to li°
reflection that they had assisted in saving lives, was the
pleasing and agreeable manner in which their services 1,9 a
been acknowledged. He alluded to the gallant conflac,.:
of the yacht and her crew, and of the Prince of Wale'
steamer, without whose encouraging presence the Affoni°
would not have accomplished much.
Mr. BIRCHALL, owner of the beautiful Yacht
" Vision," and the popular mayor of Preston, then pro-
posed " The Officers of the Club," which was acknoW'
ledged by Mr. FLETCHER.
The following song was here sung by Mr. Fletcher, the
cup-bearer:—
I'm laid up, I'm laid up in the Birkenhead dock ;
I've stow'd snug away every rope, sail, and block ;
I'm stripp'd to a gauntline, I've dowsed my burgee—
I'm laid up, and dismantled, and gone by the lee.

And yet I can tell you, my Lord, we've some reason
To be proud of the figure we've cut the last season' •
'Tis something to hag the two Queen's Cups, you'll grant raeo
In Naylor's "Suaana ' and Jones's " Bacchante."

Then the Vision" of Birchall has realises "Tin,"
And Hope did not " Drift," when he went in to win ;
About Rodgett's " Enigma" there's been no mistake,
And Tetley's wee " Ranger" came home wide awake.

Then Rushton and Preston had many a tilt,
The one as a " Bebe," the other a "Jilt ;"'
Though perhaps, by my faith, we'd have Jilted" the " Liebe,"
If Moss had not married, and parted from "Phoebe."
Old Melling our Sec., has fa'len rather to leeward—
Though he shone in his "Gem," he took flight with his "Sea
Bird;"
And our Barrister learned, a Hero might wander,
11 he'd only "shown pluck," and come out in "Leander...
But o'er all these fair prizes, and honours so glorious,
The "Queen of the Ocean" stands proudly victorious;
So fill up your glasses, a bumper once more,—
" To the health of our gailant and brace CommorsottE."

The health of the Ex-Commodore, Dr. Grindrod, waS
then proposed by the COMMODORE in highly compli-
mentary terms, and was received with the greatest oft
thasiasm.
MR. JONATHAN GRINDROD returned thanks in his
brot'ier's behalf. •
Mr. Tuos. Moss proposed the Royal Yacht Clubs of
England, which was acknowledged by Commodore E. NY.'
