THE DINNER TO THE HON. COL. SWABEY.

We now proceed to fulfil the promise given in our last ae regards furnishing a report of some of the speeches delivered at the dinner given to Col. Swabey on the 14th ius:,

The first toast—"“ Her Majesty the Queen "—waz viven by the President, the Hon. Mr. Coles, aud it was drank with the usual honours — the company singing a po.tivn of the ational snthm.

The Vice President; Mr. Whelan, shortly after rose to

the second toast, whieh bad refereuce to His Royal

ighoess the Prince Consort and the other members of the Royal Family. He saii he did vot wish to set his friend the Presdent the bod example of making speeches at that early hour, when they bad just commenced the regular list of toasts, which would be foliowed. no doubt, by many vo'un teers, wesrly all of which be felt confident, would elicit elo- quent addresses from geutlemen around him; but be could not refrain from waking one or two observations on the to.st he wae about to propose, though it was generally given with- out rewarks, aud he would promise not (o trespass long on the patience of the company either then or at any subsequent period of the evening. In speaking of the Royal Fawily, there are two figures in the illustrious group that command very great prom ence, and of whose character and conduet we are better informed than of any of the other pers mages in the Ruysi circle. It would be readily seen that he reler-. sad to the I’rince Consort und his uoble son the Prince of Wales. Every one, he believed, at that board had the plea- sure of seeing the heir to the throne, on his late visit to Ame- rica, and several were fortunate in enjoying the honour of holding personal com-nunication with him; and it was uni- versally sduitied that the personal appearance of the Prince. who iw said to resemble his mother in every lincament, was sufficient to win his way to every heart, without the exercise of the easy and courtly wanters or the manifestation of the frauk aud geverou~ dispesition for which he is generaliy Le- joved.

There was one prominent question with which bis vame had been coupled fur several years, and in connectian with whieh, so far as be (Colonel | Swabey) was coneerned, there was much wisunderstanding and wiseepresentatian. It had been sad that he Opposed esebeat at one time, and gaye it his support at a sul sequent period. His views ou this question will be best understood iby the following passage io a published letter whieh he bad the honour tv address to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle two i years ago :—
