Joseph ce Td delivered an eloquent panegyric on St. DINNER OF THE FRIENDLY SONS. The celebration of the day, so far as the Friendly Sous a Patrick were concerned, was wound up appro- priately, pleasantly, gloriously, pot uproariously, by « banquet at Delmonico’s. All that that renownod caterer cou'd do honor St. Patrick—who ts supposed to have deen a fugitive slave (white) from La Helle France, and bherofore entitled to respect from all French citizens— end to invko things pleasant geverally, was, of course, done and well done, Never was the society better pleased | with the management of its anniversary dinner, It was served to some two huedred guests.

(Applause. ) He held in bis band a bouquet of shamnrocks ‘sent to him by a lady, and declared that. bis honor, bis gratitude and hfs reverence, were given to the lady. He would not Present his love, for he never bestowed trifies on ladies. (Laughter ) He’ had algo before him a flower pot of shamrocks, the growth of a little plant presented to tho society last year, grown in Irish earth. and his friend (Watson) who presented it had well remarked that nothing of Irish wrowth suffered from being translated to America. (Applause.) Ho might also add that nothing nobly American failed to derive benefit from baying the Irish exotic deposited in its soil. carrer.) ‘The first toast—* st. Patrick’s Day, avd all who honor it—”’ was drunk with a'l the bunors. The second toast—'* [he United States, whom God hath joined, let no man put asunder’? Mr. ‘Recorder Horraax responded, comparing, in an off-hand. excellent style, the union ef States with that unjou op which the Church pronounces the solemn words: “* Whown God hath joined let no man put asunder.” He ilustrated tho mutual yiekling which should characterize both; and added that if the wife should ingist¢ upon leaving the husband, it was the rae and auty of the latter to say that, having dove all that the law, love, honor and auty required, the wife should not leave his household, (Applause.) ‘There were sceves in many a household, where the children pan around the hearth—young children, loving children, children who looked up to ther and mother alike, and who demanded that they nevet should peparate while they lived ou earth. (Loud ebeer: The chil of Ireland met here to deciare by their voices and their deeds that these United States, whom God had jowed, mo man should put asunder, (Cheers. ) ‘So long as such men as Corcoran und Meagher were found in the American army, what Irishman or American should say that the United States should be put asunder? ‘The third trast—“Ireland: Forsaken, not forgotten; her children, scattered through many lands, in loving mem- ory revisit her to uight”—was responded to by Mr. Ex- ham, of the Dublin bar. To vary the enjcyment, Mr. Brady suggested a sovg, and in response **the Miustrel Boy”? was splendidly ren- dered by Sir. Simpson , and an suoute being insisted upon, “Teddy O'Neil’’ followed, in oqually fine style. rt ‘The fourth toast— ‘lhe Army and tho Nay; jana of our’ conatitution and the defenders of our country’’—was Fresponded to first by Gep. Van Vilet, and second by Liewt, Commanding Meace, of the ' ‘Vax Viner paid a tribute to Irish toliersnp, in medern history, and eveu so far back as the Jewish times, The great Irish family of the MacCabes was repre- sented by the » (Laughter.)

He would give ag 2 toast ‘he true in war first in the heart of his countrymen, and last in peac (Applause and loud laughter. Lieutenant Mravg closed his speech with a toast to “Irish soldiers and sailors—firet in advance, aud last in retreat. ‘The toast of “Our Sister Societies—joint almoners in the great eld of charhy—their honored representatives are ever welcome to our board’’—was responded to first by Mr. Parrcnarp, on behalf of the St. George's Society, who expressed the ho;e that the Union might be. pre: sorved, one and inseparable. They wanted it preserved; they wanted to know no North, no South, no East, no West, but one United States, one and indivisible to the end of time. (Great applause.) ‘Air by the band— Auld Lang syne ‘The next respondent was Mr. Choate, representative of the New England Society. In advance of his introduction Mr. Brady referred to the launch this (St. Patrick’s) morning, of the Amerfean man of-war Shamrock, which compliment to the Irish race was responded to with much enthusiasin, Mr. Cuoats profaced bis remarks with an allusion to the modesty which i the common character of Yankees and irishmen. (Laughter.) He declared that in tho fuce of recent events there was no longer any distinction betwee, native and foreign born Americans. (Applause.) ‘They were entitied alike to the honors and rewards of American Jozaliy- (Applanse.) He admitted that there were no Irishmen «mong the Pilgrims who landed on Ply- mouth rock; and that for the first half century they had managed to get along without them; but it was very hard times, Hereafter there should be no parties or sects formed on the principle of exclusion of men of foreign birth, or on the busis of the hope of foreign votes, and the only question hereafter would not be where a man was born, but whether he was true to the constitution and the flag. (Cheers) He instituted a comparison between the rival patrictiam +f the Yankee and of the Friendiy sons of St. Patrick. Where there was a good place in the city to be filled or u specialiy fat job to be had, it would be found that some live Yarkee had his eye upon it, and just as surely, and far more surely than the Yankee was to get it, that some Friendly Son of St. Patrick had appropriated and made it his own. (Laugh ter.) He belevea that bis Honor, the Mayor, was the only person about the City Hall who wag not an Irishman, or so Lear an Irishman as to be entitled to an office. (Laughter) Did anybody consider that a live Yankee would ever be elected to the Board of Aldermen or board of Counelmen of this city? It would be as great an anachronisin and absurdity as to plant the Ark of Nooh on the top of Bunker Hill. It had often oceurred to bita, on passing Une City Hall, that the figure on the dome sup- posed to represont justice, in reality represented an Irish Virgin, typilying and illustrating to the world the power, the influence, the honors that her countrymen have achieved and exercised under that roof. (Laughter.) In conclusion he would propose a8 a sentiment, “Tho Irteh- man of America. There is nothing worth doing that he bas not done, There is pothing worth having that he has not got.’” (Uabounded langbter,) Mr, Brapy expressed his belief that if the sentiments exprested by Mr. Choate should come to be known on the east side of the city, there would be great excitement on the part of the men that “fights mit Sigel” — (Laughter )— and if it was thought that the German element was to bo exterminated by an after dinner speech, it was a great mistake. He would introduce as a representative of that pation— “A youth to fortune and to fame anknown.”’ Mr. Van Baren. (Laughter. ) Mr. Van Brnew responded In a very pleasant charac: teristic speceh, in which be contrasted the purity of the English language as spoken in Dublin aod as apoken in London, and dec.ared bis belief that the greatest Irishman who ever lived—not excluding St. Patrick—was andrew Jackson. He supposed that there wag the country today who would not thank Andrew Jackson standing in the shoes of the the United States. (Apploure.) Andrew Jockson, when he went to defend New Urieans, did not stop to cone) whether the men who came wuder bis flag were biack oF white, He even pardoned Laflite, the pirate, and made him very ureful. He had the geod gouse always to nar. row down the question. (Cheers.) Mr. Van Huren paid & compliment to the patriotism of the Irish people, and declared bis belief that nothing m their history did them more honor than theif constancy and valor in support of the United States, In his judgment they would srceed. Applause.) in ten days, he had not the teast doubt, tho Mississippi, from its source to its mouth, would be free tw the loyal citizens of the United States. (Ap- plause ) And when ® loyal stream runs through the heart of a body of rebellion, it would not take long to purify the artories and the veins. (Applause.) He waa hot ene of those who announced that the South could not be subdued; and if be thought #0 be would not announce it. He know that most of them had heard ot the person who bad announced that she would not yield; but yet rhe yieided. (Langhter.) It was their duty to goon with the atruggle tn the fled, and he would say that the Iriah citi- gens bad done their duty in this struggle with a valor and constancy that covered the Irish name with Smmortal honor. y would never forget Michael! Corcoran or the Sixty ninth regiment. (Applaure.) In conciusion he v0 — Prthe Irish Brigade, and their gallant commander, Gene- ral Meagher.’’ (Cheers, Mr. Beapy stated that proposed, with the courtesy which belonged to the elder organization, to wend « deie- gation, consieting of his friend Daniel Devlin, Mr. Hoguet And Judge Daly, to wait upon the Knights of St. Patrick, bow seeprening ins anniversary. He announced: the “The city of New York—the home of men of Mr. Mayor Ovnver ay ony ey Mr. Bravy observed that he would take the liberty of & gentieman who was not only hw friend but 18 companion, and who had undertaken, a fow da * a aid of the ” ‘Williams for a song. begged (beers ) 340% to may a fow word, He understood there was @ groat searcity of food In Ireland at present.

(Cheers. ) Then Mr. Rarvey Williams sung, by special request, ‘The Limerick Races” and ‘* Katty Mooney.’ Mr. But, Vice President of the society, stated that an Irishman io the city of New York had authorized a ehtp to be chartered, at bis own expense, and to be filled with food ror the starving Irish, to be sent forthwith from the city of New York. That gentleman's name has not often deen associated with our convivial meetings, but Ls A woukd pardon him for that in view of his liberality, woukl give the name of Mr. A.T. Stewart. (Cheers.) He was also authorized this moment, by one of the leaders of the St. Andrew's Society, Mr. Mackay, to ofler $100 ior this odjcet. “e Mr. G, B.

Patrick; but the Judge excused himecif, on the ground that he was engaged in mixing a glaxs of whiskey punch for an Irish soldier and could not forego that nati nal work. (Laughter.) In the meantime Mr. Valentine gave an amusing disser tation on chickenology; and ater he got through, Judge Daly comminnieated sult of Mis mission—(while he Was Speaking, @ deputation from the kuignis was an- nounced and introduced, cousisting of Messrs. Win. Fy Lyons, T. Dunphy, J. H. Harnett, and T. F. Hearne)— and, in conclusion, proposed the heaith of + The Knights of St. Patrick.’” Drank with all the honors. Mr. Wa. F Lyons responded, on behalf of the Knights. He said that the Knigbts had been anticipated in the act of courtesy, for they had arranged to send a deputation to the Friendly Sons. He trusted that the young society would follow in the path of the old ove, and retursed thanks for the eympathy and boner conferred upon them. ‘he habeas corpus song was sung by Judge O’Counor, Mr. Wa.

PATRICK. » Gone. Enthustastic Celebration at the Chincse Assembly Rooms. ‘The second annual banquet of the new and honorable order of the Knights of St. Patrick was celebrated last evening at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, in this city, in” the most sumptuous and fraternal manner. Such a rush of intelligence, worth and gocd-fellowship have seldom been reen in these rooms; and the doors had scarcely: been opened when the hall was filled. These Chinese rooms are among the finest in the city, and are supponed: to be capable of accommodating five hundred persons, Un thisoccasion covers were laid for four Bundred, and the tables were all fully thronged. ‘The banquet hall was very tastefully decorated with na- tional banners and other graceful arrangements by Mr. T. McDonal@. Over the head table were the Irish apd Ame- rican flags, surmounted by a wreath of evergreens: tg top of ali were inscribed the words:—Kn' ot Patrick—Cead Mille Faelthe."’ Stars, the diflerent States of the United Contederacy, glittered in Diue and gold around the room: and among the banners which were prominent, attracting general attention, was the historic flag of }oland,a country now struggling for independence and national existence, ‘The numerous tables—for there were many—were am- ply stored with all the good things of the animal and vegetable kingdom which are generally used upon such joyous <coasions. | The knights seemed to be angry enough in all conscience, for they vigorously attac everything that came in their way, though they did not conquer all they axsailed. After dinner had been fully discussed the Chairman, Mr. John Butler, President of the society , called the meet- Ing to order. The following is a st of the toasts which were pro pored and drunk, and which, it will be seen, are of a high ‘and unusual order of literary beauty: — 1.

He urged his hearers and feliow Knights to stand firmly by the country of their adoption, but at be same time not to forget that the hour will one day come when they may and will be called upon to strike a blow for their native land. He oped that by the exertions of Irishmen the land of their birth would once more be ‘The firet tower of the earth, And first gem of the sea. Letters were then read from Archbishop 11 Potter, Generals Scott, MoCiellan and Co O'Mab!ney, Charles O'Conor and Ex.Governor Morgan. Captain Lyows then read messages to societies in Brook Iyn and their replies, ax well a & mesrage and reply to the Irish Brigade, at Falmouth, Va The first tout was responded toby Mr. Thomas Dew. puy, Who spoke at great length aud with moch eloquence ou the auspicious character of the day and the duties of Irishmen to regard thereto. Unfortunately Mr. Dusrwy was at such @ long distance from the reporters, and ibere was such confusion prevuiliig atnong the merry Kn t Ube time of his discourse, that our repurte ¢ Iewling pointa of his eloquence The second toast was reapouded to by Mr hes, Bishop ran, Joba Jolin Har. werr, He said he rose with great pride to respond to the tonst of the United States. He would ask inem, who was there in that room that did pot love (ue United States! (Cheers.) There was not an Irishman in that room of anywhere ise who would not lay down his life for the maintainance of these United States. (Great ebeering.) The Irish intended fo stand up for the country of their adoption as long as they had an arm to protect her. (Appiause) He did not believe that in England there was one single Engiisman jn tavor of the restoration of the Union, while all the irish, at home and abroad, were anxious to have the United States reunited in an indiseolubie bond of fellowship as before.

Numerous American and Irish flags were festooued around the room. Half hidden in the silken folds of the Stara and stripes was the Irish harp, while many appropriate inscriptions and other similar decorations were tastefully arranged around the brilliantly lighted ioom. About ten o% the rooms were well filled with cuests. The ladies were attired in silks and mvsiins and other Kebt materials, but the beauty of their toilets was, however, one of thetr Jeagt attractions, as all were «ited with « considerable shareof that beauty of form and face for which the maids of Erm bave #0 long been famous.

PATRICKS DAY ON THE WATER. Lannch of the Unttca States Steamer Shamrock, Yesterday added another vessel to our rapidly increas ing payy. One more man-of-war is afloat, and she bears a name endeared to every true irish heart—Shamrock. No brighter or fairer anniversary day of tho patron saint of Erin’s Green Islo over beamed upon the thou sandaof spectators who early assembled at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to witnees a noble vessel leave her earthy home for one on the bounding billows.
