cloud and continued cheers) The Poles never
forget their beautiful Poland. Through the thor
oughfares of London they follow the hearse of Camp
bell, and when the coffin is lowered in its bed, they
throw upon it some holy clay brought from the
fields Of the Vistua. 1t is tribute, not less sacred
than the wedding ring, to the genius which gave

and Venetian tragedy, may perhaps remind them OF
the schoolmasters advertisement the chapel door

laughter) Subjects on which even insipid men
grow eloquent, excluded from this board. We
meet together in the spirit of the devOut Monks OF
the Ferew, and every topic that would check or chill
the generous flow of soul which this night reflects
the features of native land dismiss after the
fashion of honest Bully Egan, bravny brother of
the order, who, being threatened with the loss of
his kmainham judgeshp if he voted against the
Union, unburthened his big soul on the floor of the
House of Commons, in tremendous philippe against

notions are excluded. They would be unpalata-

body with a sword stamped with the likeness of the
Twelve Apostles. (Renewed laughter) Politics
would be as wofu blunder as that Of Handy Andy

Kimainham, let say tonight "Ireand, for ever,

the hope that this good brotherhood may often and
often meet together this day, to do honor to the
mother from whose wearied womb they came, and
bind with shamrock leaves the pale head to which
the crown of gold and emerald has been denied,
drink to her whose son am proud to be, though
she be poor indeed, though miss her crest and
shield from this bright heraldry of other nations
though like her eldest sister Zion, she has become
widow, she that was princess among the pro-
vinces." cloud and enthusiastic applause)
