CONSUL HOARE'S SPEECH.
II am always delighted to be present
at these anniversary commemorations.
and for the best of reasons: the WEI
come is so hearty, and the occasions
are SO brimful of the kindliest hospital
ity and fraternal feelings and of
"reminiscences which are most interest
ing to all who have the privilege to Be
present and hear them.

even then, continue to laud the man
whose noble and Iovable sentiments
have endeared him to all his country |
men, and not only to them, but to all
others who admire his great poetic |
genius.
while Scottish men are enthusiasts
tically united in this regard, they, as
wellkas all other Britishers, delight to
do honor to their King and Queen on
all occasions whenever and wherever
the toast to the health of their Majes-
ties is proposed, and when good wishes
for their welfare are expressed.
"Such a toast is always received and
drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.
Britons, the world over, are patriotical-
Iy and justly proud of the Gracious
King who, under Divine Providence,
has been spared to reign over them,
and also of his beloved and devoted
goodness and charity are
among her people. May God
bless them both, and may Britons, I'M
Ter their rule, always be found united
n the bonds of friendship, with the {
American people, under their honored
President, and with other nations too,
working together for the preservation
If peace, and spreading the benefits of :

world"
