"had to say to them, let them not say that is not the way we used to do it in the old country." They would find many things <—re done very differently in their n,-W land and they would do well to .toibitnate themselves to the new ordir of things as soon as possible. Thej were going among a kindly set of peiople at Tauranga, who would give them as £ e irty a welcome as they had met with in They would find in Tauranga people who would come to them gladly and tell fchem " that's the way to do it." (Cheers.) He bade them a hearty welcome, and should be glad to see thousands nio-e of their countrymen, for he was sure there was plenty of room for them. (Cheers.) Band—Selection. The Eev. David Bruce said he was hardly prepared to say whether he was, Irish or Scotch —(laughter)—but at any rate he was a New Zealander. Perhaps they were begin ning to think they were being lectured over much. He would take care that he did not offend himself. He would say only a few words. First, they must give up all romancing. It v. as likely that on the voyage they had built a good many castles in the air, and imagined that they were going into a fine country and were going to have a beautiful cottage with a garden and pet lamb. (Laughter). Let them stick to work, and perhaps in a few years their castles in the air would be realised. Then they must not waste their time. In that respect they must not copy the Maoris. Another little piece of advice he bad to give them was not to play the gentlemen too soon. He could not boast of being such an old settler as Dr. Maunsell or jilr Eeid, but like the reporters, he had taken a few note?, and he.could assure them tbat it would be tbeir policy to stick to business. Another thing he would advise tbem to do was to hold by their religion. It was too often the custom in tbe colony to give religion only a second place. If religion was worth anything, it was worth a first place. If they ascribed to it due im portance they would have no reason to regret it, and their settlement would cer tainly be all the more prosperous for it. He was very glad to see them, and could say mncb, but as much had been already said, he would conclude by wishing them God speed. The Key. Mr Mulligan (special settler) thanked the Chairman "and other gentlemen for the very kind reception they had met with. They bad received a very favorable impression from the appearance of the country when they came in. It seemed to present to them a likeneess of the country they had left. The words of advice they had heard were very acceptable. The duty they had before them was to work boldly and modestly : to recollect that, as "new-chums," they had not only to learn, but to unlearn many tilings. They had listened with great plea sure to Archdeacon Maunsell and his Maori experiences, and hoped to profit by them. He himself had read with much pleasure a lecture delivered by a former Governor of Kew Zealand —viz., Sir James Ferguson, and it was reading tbat lecture made him deter mined not to lose the opportunity of coming out, whichhisfriendMr Stewart afforded him. He was also very much obliged to Captain Daldy for the encouragement which he had given them to work diligently. He also re cognised the importance of the advice which bade them work honestly and uprightly, and strive to enter into that new and future life which awaited them beyond the grave. (Cheers.) The Eev. Mr. Crossley, another special settler, spoke very feelingly of the welcome they had experienced. He had been many years engaged in the ministry, and he intended —God williog—to carry on the work in the new settlement. He cordially agreed With Mr Mulligan^ in thanking the speakers for their good advice, and he trusted that they would benefit by it, and, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, go forth and prosper. (Cheers.) Band ; " Auld Lang Syne."

The Rev. Mr Turner said he came there on the understanding that he was not to speak. He had been very ill, and, though not an Irishman, was of a very excitable temperament. (Laughter.) He would say a few words, however, because he did not think that the old chums should have all the gay. (Laughter.) The speaker then briefly ran over the advice which had been given by the preceding speakers. He would specially recommend them to pay attention to that advice, which bade them adapt themselves to their new circumstances, and not let their old prejudices stand in their way. He would conclude by telling them not to forsake the God of their fathers. Let them recollect that verse of the Scriptures : " Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all other things shall remain unto you." Band : Selection.

Mr Vesey Stewart who, on coming forward, was received with loud and continuous cheer ing, said he conld assure the chairman, and ladies and gentlemen who had come there to welcome tLem that night, that he felt per fectly incapable of expressing in suitable terms the warm thanks of himself and those he represented, for their most magnificent reception. He had told his party they would be warmly received, and now he appealed to them to say if they had not been. (Cheers.) He had no doubt of the capabili ties of those he had with him. He knew the stuff they were made of : they were good staunch farmers who had been accustomed to high rents and low pay at home, accus tomed to bad seasons, and to May frosts which killed their flax. There was nothing of that kind here. He had to thank a large number of gentlemen, so many that he was afraid he could not recollect all; but he would try. First he had to thank Mr Harry Farnall. (Cheers.) Next he had to thank Mr Justice Gillies and his Executive when Superintendent, and especially Mr Hurst. He did not intend to enter upon politics, but he could not avoid expressing his thanks to the Provincial Council for bringing in the report which recommended that the lands of Kati-kati should be assigned to them (great cheering.) Then they had to tbank Mr Dai gaville (cheers) who had stuck to them like a leech (laughter and cheers). He could assure them that on the North of Ireland the name of Dargaville was a household word; there was not a respectable farmer who did not know it (cheers.) In the present ship thirty-four families had come out, and they had left 16 families behind them who he ex pected would leave in September, if Dr. Featherston kept his promise and granted them a third ship. He bad to thank Dr Featherston for one thing, and that was for giving them a splendid ship with a kind and courteous Captain (cheers). He had little doubt that instead of 50 families they could easily bring out 500 families if a good report of their satisfaction with the country was sent home to their friends. He was sure that every family could introduce 10 others. He regretted to have to say that some difficulties had been placed in their way at Westminster Chambers but he felt con vinced that the Government of New Zealand would set all right. Four or five families had he considered been unfairly treated as regarded their grant of land. He would not make further reference to this than.to say that the Government might accept it as a fact that one bad report sent home by disaffected settlers would do more harm than fifty good ones would do good. He had to thank Sir Julius Vogel. There had been some points in the agreement which were not fully intelligible, but one half hour with him had made all smooth." They came as Irishmen prepared to extend the hand of fejendship to all no matter what church or f they belonged to. They were to leave all feelings of sectarian bigotry behind them (cheers) to stick to their religion, but not to allow it to in- Mere with the right hand of friendship. f*t tfiton.remember the old adage, " United ™«y stood, divided they fell." They had come to that land to make new homes. Land

in Ireland from all points of view was above its value, and was still decreasing in value. Here it was below its value, and was rising in value, so that they would find themselves rising with it (Cheers.) He would not further detain them, for he say many smiling faces who were looking forward to a happy dance. (Cheers.) If he could speak all night he could not adequately express his feelings at seeing that great hall crowded, he might say to suffocation, if it was not for the splen did ventilation. (Laughter.) The report of that meeting would go home, and be instru mental in bringing out many a cargo, if he might use the expression, of their country men. (Loud applause.) Mr Harry Farnall said he trusted they would not think he was making use of a figure of speech in saying it was one of the proudest moments of his life. He considered that a very proud moment when' a man saw accomplished what he had fought for three years to bring about. He would not go into the difficulties they had experienced. Had it not been that Mr Stewart was of no ordi nary stamp, and took a considerable deal to hinder him from doing what he intended, they would not be there that night. The difficulty only made Mr Stewait more anxious to overcome it. He was nearly pumped out about giving advice. As to the present fight in Parliament he would say nothing, but the agent of the General Government was doing very little for them at home, and as regarded the passengers of the Carisbrooke Castle : they were Provincialista rather than Cen tralists. (Laughter and Cheers.) Mr Louch, one of the special settlers, said their welcome that night augured well for the future. The advice given them had been given them in good part, and he knew it would be received in good part. They had come out to work. He had a large family [Mr. Stewart: Eighteen] (cheers) and they were all prepared to do their best. At that late hour of the evening he would confine himself to expressing on behalf of the immigrants by the Carisbrooke Castle their thanks for the very kind welcome they had met with. (Cheers.) Band selection.

The Chairman then said it onty remained for him to tell them that there would be a dance and a supper for those who liked to remain. He called for three hearty cheers for the Katikati special settlers. This was responded to with a will by the visitors present.

Captain Burns proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was well received.

The company then adjourned to the supper room, where a substantial repast was laid out, which they did full justice to. The dance was a great success, and was indulged in by a very large number, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The catering for the supper was carried out by Mr Clsaries burton, of Parnell, and F. G. Brown and Co ,of Queen-street. The latter firm was called upon unexpectedly at noon yesterday, but proved fully equal to the occasion, and furnished a plentiful supply of cake, confectionery, fruit of all seasonable kinds, and other good things, tbe tables be ing replenished as quickly as emptied all through the night until two o'clock this morning, when the entertainment was brought to a close, and the immigrants were conveyed back to their ship by the Takapuna.
