At the meeting of the friends of this truly Isudable
Institution, at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday
last, shortly after the health of the Ladies in the gal-
lery was drank, the Chairman rose and said, " It has
been now intimated to use, that an Irish lientlema■
wished to propose the health of the Right llon.l'harlos
Grant, therefore the hest thing we can do is to drink
the health of the Gentleman who has proposed um
toast." Mr. Thomas Flanagan was then drank, with,

of a statesman, if nut foremost, equal to any states-

continued cheers.)—My Lord and Gentlemen, say
what you please of the present Ministers, but let the as-

Chief Secretaryship of Ireland reflects the highest credit
on them, and entitles them to the gratitude of Ireland
and the thanks of Scotland.—(Cheers.)—True merit
