Thoro were present:—Judge O'Brien, Mcsara D. A- Tole, J. M. Shorn, J. M. Brlftham, T. Thompson, M.H.K., P. Darby, jr. Gallagher, W. H. Fenlon, T. Boylan, Thos. Mahonoy, I). O. McDonnell, J. J.

How, and M'allnutt. Mr Thomas Thompson, 31.11.1t. for City North, having, in the absence of Sir G. M. Oltorke.been invited to maku tho presentation, said:—"Mr Boucicanlt,—You are doubtless aware that it is tho wish o£ your fellow-country men in Auckland to present you with an address as a memento of your visit amongst thorn. They desire to oppress their heartfelt pleasure at having had you in their midst; and it is matter of regret to me that Sir Maurice O'Korko, who promised to present tho address, should—no aosbt, from unforeseen circumstances—be pre ventaa from doing so. In common with my fellow-countrymen of this city I feol it to be a pleosuro and a gratification to have you amongst us. I regret that there has beon oc casion to call upon me so unexpectedly ; but at any rato, if I cannot express Laysolf so elo quently as Sir Maurico O'Rorke would have none, ho could not, I am suro, have Hpoken moro heartily (Applause.) Without any fur ther romarks I will read the address that lias keen prepared for presentation to you. It is as follows :— " To Dion Boucicault, Esq.—Farewoll Address horn tho Irishmen of Auckland to Ireland's renowned Dramatist and Actor. "We, Four follow countrymen, of eyory creed every grade, and overy shade of opinion, resi dents of Auckland, desire to congratulate you on tho success you have aehioved in enacting jour own plays throughout Australia and New ■Zealand. It js a sourco of pride to us that one who has won such a distinguished place on the Mil of Illustrious Irishmen has paid a visit to these remote colonies, and that both on tho stage and on the platform you have nobly upheld the of Irishmen. Tho frankness and man liness with which you have avowed tho opinions Jouhold respecting our nativo land havowon Wen the estcom oE our fellow-colonists who do not hall from the Emerald Isle; and tho lovo of country which on all occasions flows from your 1«P» is appreciated by thorn as an emblem of your patriotic heart. Of this love of country we claim no monopoly, but we venerato tho samo feeling wh*n it warms the breasts of our Eng lish and Scotch fellow-colonists. To our coun trymen at horn* may wo usk you to tako too messago from us that we watch over their des tinies with unflagging solicitude, that wo long to hear of better days dawning upon them, that we attributo our contentment and prosperity nero to the right of self-govornmont which Now Zealand enjoys, so difleront from the lot of our nativo land, which was robbed of Its self-govern jag powers by corruption and fraud, and whose toll has been sanctiflod by tho immortal language of.its Curran and its Plunket; by the life-long labours of Its O'Connell; by tho glory of Grattan and genius of Moore. Tell thorn, too, that we iavo an abiding faith; that as Ireland has sur vived tho terrible penal laws, tho cruel land lawa, the famine, expatriation, and wasting of its people, that even the direst result of bad go vernment, so a merciful Providence will yet m terpqso and ransom the remnant of our peoplo that still cling to our nativo soil from the mise ries that tor seven centuries have afflicted our folovod country. In bidding adieu to you anel Mra Boucicault, we wish you both still higher honours, and a long and happy life, and that repose in your old age which an industrious lno and aa arduous profession so richly deaorve. (rlace (or signatures). fir Boucicault, who received quite an ovation, SMelj-Gentlemen, I thank you very sincerely ">r the honour you have shewn in selecting me *s your messenger of peaoo and goodwill to our country. Before I bceept that commission, I dewro that you should know a little further what kind of man you have employed and what » the nature of his sincere convictions, tor I f would not have you, under any circumstances, ye me that commission undor false conditions. Will talk to you, not as one who utters an oratorical speech, for of that lam incapable. I am not on orator or a public speaker, but simply an honest man and a sincere Irish citizen. There ore certain features connected with tliiß addross wnich you will allow me to particularise, for they eJO chormidg to me. My fellow-countrymen or every creed, overy grade, and overy shade of opinion, both political and religious we lioro "Presented and united. United!—that is the peat test-that is the important term. It has "«en the lack of this union that has been the source of all Ireland's troubles. She was never conquered except by herself. Sho was never ™pjectod excopt by herself. She was never »ojectcd except to herself. Sho was conquered oy her own strife, subjected chiefly by her want BL°?herence, and rendered abject continuously °» fcerown suicidal troubles.- You see I can !g«« of her faults as well as represent her 2??i?s> But when I do speak of her faults, I tSL Tl she >8 th° victim of them chielly, and «i, V Bho nevef would have been that victim had Z°J|™ under no one else's feet. Now, there were 8,000,000 of population in Ireland when I K. Porn —that was In 1822. When I camo to full fianijood's estate there were only five millions. TW becaino of the other two or throe millions ? tni< ci\ m.e hpro to learn freedom, and they wont otoo*o Umtcd States to learn to bo united. That SJJ l Population and thoir children are existing dS aad n.ertfnow in a noble condition of inde wi».uI!.

(Laughter and ap|'l,.i,'He.) Now, I do not want any ditiinoinbcr ment or' i ln» Uritish people, including the Irish people, (lieu;'! hear! and prolonged applause.) 1 do not want anything of the kind, for I know that my country has contributed very greatly to the glory of the Briiish Empire, and in its cause has lavishly given both blood and treasure. In literature, and in art, too, their fortunes have bctju ];nked together, but 1 say she is ne longer going !o be the Cindrella of the British Kmpire. I want her to retain her share in tho firm, but carried to a soparato account. I do not want a divorce, but, by God, I tyantlfar herarestitution of conjugul rights (entliusuisfio applause). Well now, gentlemen, some few rears ago I was offered a scat in Parliament by some foolluh people who thought I desorvod it, Well, I did not. I thought, und I think wls.ly. that I can do those that I love far better Bervicu by taking my own wny and dome my duty iv that hUto of lite- to which It has pleased God to call mo, and 1 have exerolaod my aoiiitiea in that direction. You have porcolved very kindly thj! ob.ioct I havo mixed up with my own works. Jij'oiv, in pursuance of that object, I aal about to take your kind message of com fort and encouragement to the bleeding hearts nt homo. I will give thorn t.hio a°suranoe—that as thu wandering Arab in tho dssurf, when ho uttors his morning and ovenlng prayer, U;rns Ills fare with his heart full of devotion towards the huriil place of his prophet and his creed; bo Irishmen, nil over tho world, when they utter thoir prayers for thoirnatlvo country, turn their hearts towards that little island iv tho Athntio which thoy are proud to proclaim as the birth placo of thomselrea or their father. (Prolonged applause,1. Mr J. M. siipka. upon called upnn to speak, Bald : Gentlemen, J do not think that it. is neces sary to add anything to what * 7v Thompson has said, or to tho very insplratlnfj romurka that Mr Bouclcault has mado. In travelling tnrough tho colonies, you, sir, must have been struck with many things, nnd one, by no means tho least important, may have attracted particular attention. 1 refer to the fact that In toe colo nies we hnvo achieved iho blending of tho oranso and £bo trreon (hear, hear, and appiause), and wo have attained sympathetic harmony in that direction.

Mr Houcicanlt: That 1b tho Union, sir. It !s tho Irishman's Union we wnnt.

Mr E. F. Miller said that H8 a young oolonlal ho was very pleased to bo able to say that Iho predominant feeling In tho colonies was to sco tho three nationalities thoroughly united. Ho took tlio story of ttio contuson cf tonguo3 at tho Tower of Dabel to teacti tlio leseon that ocery man should lovo hla own country, but a£ tho same tlmo horo was a more important lesson etiil which did not con flict with patriotism, ami that was the duly of Hiving ono another. (Apulauso.) At tho invitation of Mr Bouolcalt tho gonile mon present thon addressed themuclvei to tho liquor 3on tho tablo, and tho proceedings took a convivial turn.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Police Interference.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, -Will you allow mo to protest through your columns against the unwarrantable in terference of a policeman on tho beat at the lower end of Queen-streot to-day. A respoctablo young man who waa standing near the Waitomnta Hotel, whoro coasting seamen most do congregate, and who had business to do with a person there, was rudely ordered by the man in blue to move en. To please the man in authority ho walked towards tho wharf, and some time afterwards returned, whon tho policeman ordered him to movo on again, and demanded his name, with tho In, m lO"1 l Proßume> t0 prosecute him. llie lohce Offences Act gives to the police immonso powers, which, if unduly taken advantage of by thorn to interfere with the liberty of the subject, will cause then to bo despised by right-thinking peoplo, and will, no doubt, causo steps to bo taken to guard tho liborty of the people ugainst police tyranny. The corner in question has, by common usage and custom, bocomo as it wero tho Seamen's Exchange, and until tho Harbour Board or tho trustees in tho Costloy Estato cause a seamen's home to be built, it will so continue to be used. Have tho polico nothing to do ? Aro thero no burglars a burgling? no drunks ? nothing, in fact, for the poor mon to do but order people to movo on V It rominds me of a case at tho Thames some years since. A policoman, for want of something bettor to do, was chatting with mo at my shop door, lie ovory no* and then cast anxious glances up and down tho stroot, On my asking him what ho was looking for, ho roplied : "I have not had a caso for a wholo week, and if I don't run somebody in before Saturday night I shall get tho sack." At that moment along camo a man who ap peared slightly under tho influence of drink, but who was going along quietly and troubling nobody, and who was porfoctly able to tako care of himself. The polico man brightened up directly. "I'll have that follow," ho said. " Surely you aro not going to tako that man into custody ? What hns ho boon doing?" "He is drunk," tho guardian of the peace paid. "Ho is not drunk," I roplied, "and if you arrest him I will roport you." However, tho policeman followed him up tho Htrcot somo distance from my placo and ar rested tho man, As cood as my word, I followed him to tho station and put it to tho sorgoant-in chargo to say whether the man was drunk or not, with this result-tho man was immediately re leased, and shortly aftorwards tho polico man obtainod his discharge.-I am, &c An Olu Colonist.
