Lord Carlisle, having: com- mented ointhe growing prosperity of the country, said he had thei fullest sympathy with every pulse of its gladness. as well as its sorrow..
"The only overterinie-I find alleged against me is that I opened baths and washhouses. (Laughter.) Well, I confess. I am. ready. to do so any number of. teues again. (.ffear, hear). 1 hope' it willauit be thought a. mortal sin that I am engaged in putting up a drinking-fOuntain ; nay, moreover, I shall hail witlithe utmost pleasure the time—though, damns. Ldo not breathe a syllable about the most proper means of accomplishing it—for bringing, into all the streets, and households, and rooms of Dublin a capacious supply of pure and wholesome water ; and, if I should not be thought to be diving too low, I have no scruple in wishing the utmost possible prosperity to the penny banks of the c4."
