EARL OF DERBY's SPEECH The Earl Of Derby,
in the OF his speech at the banquet given by
the Lord Mayor Of London, made some compli-
mentary alusions to this country. We quote some
passages:
"Among the many gratifying circumstances
connected with this assembly, not the least is to
lar ge. and may add 50 fair, representation OF
those foreign States which now happily in am
iy with this country, and to maintain the most
cordial relations Of aInity and friendship 10 the
avowed policy OF the present government, as ii
ought to be the policy of every government of this
country. [Cheers We accept the presence Of
these representatives on this occasion, not as a
compliment, however gratifying that might be, TO
me or any of my colleagues in personal and In .
dvidual character. We accept il a mark OF ad
hesion to that policy which processes an absolute
and entire non intervention with the internal af-
fairs OF all other countries, and the de.erminat ton
also to leave unexhausted no effort-f the case
should arise-by friendly exertion and by friendly
nerpcsilion, opreventt the possibility of the disturb
apce, in any quarter OF the world, of the general
peace which now exists. Hear and cheers. My
Lord may be that in various portions OF the world
there elements of internal discord, and elements
which may threaten the spreading Of that dscord
beyond their own boundaries, which may defeat
the best ntentions OF the most peaceful States. /
do not beieye-l do not venture to hope-that we
have arrived at that Utopian period when any ma
ton can safely justiiably deprive itself of the
means OF internal organization for its own national
Defence tcheers;] but this do believe and OF this
] am conhdent-that throughout Europe and
throughout the world there is general desire on
the part Of al! nations to extinguish at the
slightest spark which may appear to threaten ex
ternal convulsion, or 10 endanger the general
peace. Loud cheers.l OF this am sure--that if
there be appearance Of hostility Of angry feel
ing arising in any quarter, the exertlons of all
countries will be used, not, in less enlightened
times, to fan the flame, in the hope of obtaining
a friendly cxtingusher upon the first elements of
Strife and to interpose for the prevention Of msun
derstandings which may at any time arise; and
am quite confident that II, without provocaton, ny
one power, either through the misconduct of it's
own government, or through the pressure of its
oton people, should be so un,cise TO make a hos
tile or unproroked aggression, that po,pr tcould
be met ty the unanimous reprobdtion and re'non-
STRANGE Of the civilized ,Dorld. Loud cheers. !
am confident also that there is enlightened
feeling arising among all governments
and among all nations-that there is growing
conviction that their interests, their honor,
their welfare, and their real glory are better
prompted by developing their internal resources,
by fostering the domestic industry of their people,
by promoting the enjoyment, the wealth. and the
prosperity Of their subjects, :han by any dreams
OF military glory, however brilliant, or by any
prospect of aggressive conquests, however daz-
cling. ('Hear,' and cheers.l AT this moment
may mention, as an illustration that IRE are en-.
gagged piih a great and potonfid neighbor, rhose
,otose prooes hare ourselves had great erperence
lhear. hear;l not in those hostile ornaments
which have formerly deluged the world in blood;
but we are engaged in united effort, by united
counsels, in endeavoring by peaceful negotiations
to extend, not for our ow individual benefit, but
for the benefit of the world at large, the sphere of
peaceful commerce through the interior Of the vast
continent of America; and in this peaceful labor
counsels undivided. ['Hear hear. ! Our
plenipotentaries are, indeed, different in person,
but the instructions upon which they proceed,
and the spirit BY tcich they animated. are essen-
italy and unequiuocaiiy the same. [Cheersl feel
my lord, that Tor all the world-ior the promotion
OF peace and for the general good of the world
the cordial union of all nations the advancement
OF commercial intercourse, is matter of primary
importance; but, if il be to other nations, most
OF all must it be so to this, with whom the great
manufacturing and commercial power ID 80 large
element of that greatness which long series of
years has enabled US TO attain"
The Duke of Northumberland, first Lord of the
Admiralty, followed suit He sad

hospitable hall the Arctic Expedition fitted out by
this country, had Quilted lite shores under the most
favorable auspices, and with the most fervent ard
anxious wlshes Tor Its success, not only in THE but

They never could forget the manner in which the
United States fitted out an expedition 10 assist in
the search for Sir John franklin. loud cheers
lie must leave II to his excellent friend the Ameri
Minister to express to the people Of that coun.

ertons. l'Hear,' and cheers.

Tax IRIsH ExILKs-The Limerick Reporter says.
Father Kenyon, of Templedorry, has Just re.
csivcd a long letter from kis friend, John Mitchell
The letter was written in December; il affords
glowing picture of the present position and pros.
poets Of the exile and his family who are enjoying
the sweets OF domestic happiness in Van Deman's
Land. Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell and their children
all in the best health; John Martin is living
with them; and biz health also lie greatly improved.
John Mitchell has taken large tract of land which
he is farming himself, and which affords him con-
slant occupation. He writes in high spirts-by no
means in love with the Whigs, however; and his
aspirations for the liberation Of Ireland arc said 10
be as vigorous and as constant ever"
