Let me offer as a sentiment—Tho loyalty of Irighmen, exhibited equally in chivalric devotion to their native country and to tne jand which affords them a re- fuge from oppression and the enjoyment of political rights, ‘Yours ever, JAMES T. BRADY. Colone) Parrick Kui.y responded to the second regular ‘ast, which was as follows:— Our Dead Comrados—OMicers and soldiers of the Trish Brigade—Their memory shal! remain for life as green in our souls as the emerald flag, under which, doing battle for the United States, they fought and fall. Colonel Nucaxt was next called. He said he was no speech maker, as they all knew; but he had 9 toast to Propose, which he felt sure every man prosent would ‘agreo to. It was as follows: — No nogotiatioa, no compromise, no truce, no peace, bus War to the last dollar and the last man until every rebel flag bo struck down between the St. Lawrence and the =: And swept everywhere, the world over, from land and sea. Captain Daty, of the Forty-eeventh regiment New York Volunteers, one of the'guesis, being called upon for asong, said he would give them one which was very popular in the departmont he came from, and which done much to recencile the goldiery of the command to the institution it referred to, It was by Private O’Rielly, of hie rogi- ment, who is in the habit of saying that he has seen such & plenty of white mon killed in this war that be bas no objection now to letting the ''Sambos”’ take their fair sharo of death and wounds. Against any white monopoply in the trade of ‘being kilt,’” ag he phrased it, Private Miles had entered, to the air of ‘The Low-backed Car,” ino following lyrical protest. “He called it:— MILES O'REILLY ON THB ‘NAYOURS.)? Some tell us ’tis a burain’ shame ‘To make the naygurs fight; An’ that the thrado of bein’ kilt Belongs but to the white; But as for me, upon my eowl! 50 liberal are we here, Fl let Sambo be murthered in place of myself Un every day in fag On every day in the year, boys, And every bour in the wth ‘The right to be kilt 1°!) divide wid him, Ad’ divil a word I'll say.

Colonel BENTLEY spoke next, and said that, as an Ameri- can citizen, native Dora, yet an officer of the brigade, he welc very Irishman present, who, true to the liderties of Ireland were also true to the land of their adoption, He would give in conclusion:— The Emmets of tho Irish Brigage. They have been as brave to the honor and glory of America as tbej- noble family to another generation were true to the Liberty of Iroland. Colonel Joun O’Manony gavo the sixth regular toast, which was:— The Memory of General Michael Corcoran.

Mr. Wu. ¥, Lyons, President of the Knights of St. Patrick, responded, saying that after all tbat had been maid by'thore who had fought, beside the soldiers of the Irish \ttles recorded on the shields rigade in tho es which decorated the hall, there is little left for a civilian to say; br:t as a very bumble representative of the American h bis name been coupled, he would ‘that ong of the preas which is influential and respectable dove full justice to the career and faithfully chronicled the deeds of the Army of the Poto- to no part of it has it dono ampler justice than h Brigade.
