.r . . , -77 nom? : . i I . ll!triW - a man by Cu and faggot becattskof his belief, however erroneous ; and yet how little removed from that was he who prolonged a negative species of torture, by keeping a man from those rights, the enjoyment of which every well-understood interpretation of toleration, the good of the countty, and reason sanctioned ?--(Hear) Toleration ! thei e was something inconceivably pre sumptuous in the word. What right had• any man to intrude himself between his fellowman and his MAILER? Whim warranty had any nian in prescr:bing a certain fro mof belief to another ? As well might I.e presume to say that the DEITY must not receive a certain form of supplication, as that he must be ad dr e%sed in a certain way--(Hear). L 'rd Liverpool tells us. that in this 14nd of ours; we cannot endure religious toleration (which is enjoyed by all the world besides, and even ia despotic countries); that in England such liberty as is enjoyed in America cannot be tasted, because that country is . so very free, and we are nt t free enough. —Another Noble Lord, who concedes that all the free institutions we possess were founded by our Catholic ancestors, is equally adverse to making concessions to the Catholics with the Prime Minister ; but it is because in Gei many and ether countries where toleration is practised, he says they are despotic, whereas we are too free to permit it. This is blowing hot and cold with a ven geance—(Cheers). The land of Goshen had been de scribed as free from strife, but this is erecting this coun try into the most anti •Goshen land imaginable—a place under any circumstances fit for strife and discord, and where, above all other places in the world, religious exclusion is kept up. With respect to the measure itself, I am far from agreeing in the monopolieng views taken of the subject by the Bishops and other persons interestei in the exclusion. I believe that the Bishops do not choose to let any others taste of the good things which they enjoy ; for with them the vulgar saying of " the fewer the better cheer;" has great weiAlu—(Laughing). This recalls to my mind a passage from Shakspeare,' where, in The Merchant of Venice, Jessica is rejoicing that she shall be saved by her husband. " Jessica—l shall be saved by my husband, he made me aChristiam— Lau ncelot—Truly ; the more to blame lie; we were Chiistians enough before, even as many as could well live one by another"—(Loud laughing). I give no credit to the monopolizing gentry for any religious scruples. Ido n t even believe that they are honest bigots. I say the cause of religious freedom is the great cause— that it is the stay of English security; for can we ima gine that 6,000,000 of men, not only injured, but in sulted, oppressed, calumniated, and urged to madness, will be always quiet, however gre.it their patience has hitherto been, and although the fortitude and courage which they have shewn under these inflictions, should be without parallel in the history of the world ? Will they see calmly even the golden moment lost,w hich might have been laid hold of to increase the wealth, enhance the security, and elevate the honour and glory of this country, and the tranquillity of that, by simply doing Or m an act of justice, which cannot be withheld with out ioly, folly approaching almost to insanity ? (Hear). I oon I have the subject near my heart. I have wit ness d the miseries and privations of the Irish peasant, and I havradeplored the misrepresentations by which he is blackened in this country. The charity alone of the Irish poor would indemnify for half their faults. I do not see in the plans of the new political economists anything to compensate for the rights of which the Irish people are deprived. The liberties of the two countries are so blended together, that ohs cannot prosper whilst the other is suffering. We have a patty with us in the Administration; but what are we to think of an Administration so c insposed ? The best assimilation I can make to it is that of Sin, in Milton; where one part is fair, the other filthy— " The one seemed woman to the waist, and fair, But ended foul in many a scaly fold; Voluminous and vast, a serpent armed With mortal sting." I find fault with the liberal part of the Administration that they do not follow their principles to any beneficial extent. They have not the excuse of saying, that "we have an unenlightened public to deal with," because the public surpass them in intelligence and liberality— (Cheers). The Hon. Baronet concluded by declaring himself an advocate fur the principles of free trade, and an unchanged friend to Parliamentary Reform. He sat down amidst the loudest cheering, which lasted for some minutes. Sir FRANCiS BURDETT then said, he had a toast to propose to them, which he was sure they would (16.1 with cordiality. They might, indeed, be surprised to bear him propose the health of any member of the pre sent Cabinet ; but Mi. Peel had so much merit in the Bill which he had brought into Parliament, that if he had only the good fortune to carry it through berth Houses, it would be one of the greatest benefits be t stowed upon the country from the time of the Revolu tion—(Cheers). It was with great pleasure he proposed ge The purity of Trial by Jury, and thanks to Mr. Peel for his admirable Bill now before Parliament for the • improvement of that invaluable institution." This was • drank with three times three, and with great applause. Mr. COKE, M.P. proposed 4 4 the health of John Cain •. Hobhouse, Esq. the other able, enlightened, and inde fatigable Representative of Westminster." He said he had a particular pleasure •in doing this, because,' before he knew Mr. Hobhouse he had been opposed • to him. ' Since he had known him, he had become warmly attached to him. He was sure the people of England were in favour of Catholic Emancipation, • and if the majority of the County of Norfolk, which lze had represented for se many years, were not, he would not represent it, so help him Gon!—(Appizuse). • Mr. J. C. Hormoose rose to return thanks, and said he was highly flattered by the manner in which the Member for Norfolk had proposed his health. Year after year, as he had presented himself to the notice of his constituents, be bad found their approval stronger, and their friendship warmer. He had suppored those measto es in Parliament, which his Honourable Col league had alluded to on the same grounds as he had. He approved of Mr. Secretary Peel's Bill, not wtthstanding its reverses. Civil freedom was making 'rapid strides both in Greece and" in America ; and, in the latter country, there was a man victorious in war, and a leader of the Senate in peace, who had thrown down his sword on the altar of liberty, and shewn himself worthy to be placed at the head of a free people. The ambition ofipatriots, and the iogra titua of republics, were common-place themes of de clamation, but Bolivar was a patriot without ambition, and his country was without ingratitude. Mr. &MICH proposed ‘‘ Religious liberty throughout the world, and thanks to the majority of the House of Commons who voted our the Bill for the removal of religious disabilitiss; and may the inipulatc rejection of that Bill, by the Hours of Lords, not en d4:iser the tranquillity of Iteland." The healti's of Lord John Russell, Lord Ebrington, and .Lord Sugellt were successively drank, and they afizeturaed thanks , The n.:.t cast was ~-a-, x-~ -. ; -..~, A . ~~ ;.~ •7R!!'rm:7l7 14 John George Lambton, Req. and the Reform. , of the North of England. Mr. LAUBTON rose, to return thanks. He was re -1 ceived with loud applause, mingled with some masks i of disapprobation. He tilled on the indieidual to state the grounds upon which he received him (11...Lambt.n) with disapprobation, and then resumed his seat. Mr. Futow then rose at the lower end of the room, and was received with considerable uproar of hisses, mixed with some applause. His accusation against Mr. Lambton, was his opposition to Sir Ft antis Burdift in the Elective Franchise Bill, and that he afterwards entertained at his table an illustrious person, whose principles were well known to be in opposition to the great Catholic QuestiOn—(llear,hear ! and hisses). Mr. LASIBTON regretteJ that such a theme should have been introduced, when all minor condover sial points ought to have been set at rest. He had certainly declined to vote upon the Catholic Question, because he thought It inconsistent to support a measure which bias united with one in direct opposition to the Elective Franchise, which he had maintained through his whole life. He had his own right of re-action. With respect to the charge of having entertained the Duke of York, he should only say that he never al lowed politics to interfere with his domestic arrange ments. He should also declare that he highly applauded the Duke of York for openly stating his sentiments— (Loud Applause). Samuel Whitbread, Esq. and the Reformers of Middlesex. ' Mt. WHITBREAD, in returning thanks, professed him. self the friend of civil and religious liberty, and the ai voclte of Reform in Parliament. Sir Robert Wilson, and the Reformers of Southwark. Sir ROBERT WILSON acknowledged the compliment in a speech of some length. in which he took a review of the progress of freedom in Greece and America, and concluded by pronouncing an eulogium upon Bolivar,, who formerly expressed the greatest satisfaction at a compliment paid to him in that very room. Mr. Honywood, and the Reformers of Kent. Mr. HONYWPOD assured the meeting that his senti ments on the question of Parliamentary Reform were unchanged and unchangeable, for the longer he lived the greater did he observe the necessity for that measure. The next toast was, " The health. of Messrs. M. Fitzgerald, Rice, Ponsonby„ O'Connell, and other Gentlemen present." The KN/011T of Kamm returned thanks at considerable length. Mr. O'CONNELL assured the meeting that it was his fixed determination on coming into the room to make his presence the silent expression (an Irishman might use the phrase) of his respect and esteem for their Repre sentatives; not only because he was unwilling to ob trude so humble an individual as himself upon their notice, but because he felt it impossible to find words to express his overwhelming sense of obligation to their glorious Representative—(Cheers). His gratitude was not sectarian, but national. The Hon. Baronet was not the advocate of the Catholics, but of Chri,tianity, and of those principles on which it was founded, and which said " Do unto others as you would they should do ono yourselves: But if he Has unable to speak of him as he would wish, he might he allowed the audacity to boast that he (Mr. O'Connell) was the individual who suggested reposing their cause in his hands. The Peti tion he had framed was not a Petition for Catholic Em incipation, but grounding it on universal liberty of conscience, he only asked the Legislature to give to every persuasion equal rights and privileges with each other. That was the petition which he had put into the Hon. Bares hands ; and if he (Mr. O'C.) was accused of being an agitator,and of using something of violence, Oh, let the Electors of Westminster not forget the prize for whieh he was contending; it-was, that his countrymen might become the brothers of Britons—(Cheers) —the sharers in the election of such Representatives as theirs. They did not seek to be admitted within the purlieus of some rotten borough ; Oh, no ; they boldly asked for an equalization of civil rights with them. For his part, he always considered the question of Reform consistent with the British Constitution with that glorious principle which their ancestors had invented, and which said that no man's property should be taxed; unless he was represented in Parliament; and he who came be tween him and that representation, might talk of his conscience, and weep over his money-bags; but he dealt in iniquity, and robbed the public of their rights (Loud cheers). He would not let his gratitude trespass longer upon their patience—(Hear). When he re-' turned to his own country, he would tell his country men, in the words of one of their own resolutions, not to dare to outrage the laws—not to degrade themselves, and be rendered unworthy of the friendship and sym pathy of such men as the Electors of Westminster. He would use the name of Burdett as a spell-wofd amongst them—that name would resound in her green valleys, and along her majestic mountains ; it would mingle in their songs of joy, and would net be forgotten in their humble but pious devotions ; and if he could embody their feelings into one shout, it would be heard through out Europe, affrighting despotism from Archangel to the Straits of Gibraltar, and carrying consolation to the slave in evetT clime —(Loud applause). The Learned Gentleman concluded by assuring the meeting that Old England had but to unite her willing sons in one link of affection, to become once more the protectres' of the liberty of the.world. The most ardent applause fol lowed the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's speech. John Williams, Esq. and the English Bar. Mr. WILLIAMS returned thanks, and held out the conduct of Westminster as an example well worthy of the imitation of the rest of the empire. The objtcts their choice and their mode of choosing them shed mu tual lustre on each other. He complimented the steady, consistent, and persevering conduct of Sir F. Burdett through sufferings and prosecutions ; and then referred' to the proposed amendment of the Jury Laws, which would afford the very relief for which Mr. WoJler con tended in vain ten years ago in the Court of King's Bench. Let them then persevere : how did they know but in ten years more, in spite of ecclesiastical and fana tical influence (loud applause), some other Tory Minis ter might get up and propose the disfranchisement of Old Sarum, New Church, and Old Church, and the rest of the rotten Boroughs ?—(C/veers). Let them pursue their own course, and he did not despair seeing, before he died, the accomplibhment of that result which all, men of proper principles thought so desirable—:hat infusion of popular spirit into the Parliament which, would do such justice to every part of the Kingdom as they (the electors of Westminster) did to their town. T. W. Coke, Esq. and the Reformers of Norfolk—John Smith, Esq. and the other Members of Parliiment who honour us with their company—Lord Cochrane—The Liberty of the Press. After this last toast was drank, the Chairman, and those Gentle men who had not previously withdrawn, retired, at 11 o'clock. The instrumental band for the English Opera House, the ensuing season, is to be one of the most numerous in London.

At Tattersall's, on the preceding Monday, there was something that could not easily be defined; Rufus's backers expected they would take 6 to 4 about him ; still 2 to I wan boldly offered on the field; on Web's side the question was all on the smile-5 to 4he beats anything, and 20 to 1 he walks—there was a pitch fur those who stood a great stake on Rufus ; Muleteer went from 7 to 2to 6 to 1; he had supporters, but a few coves betted as it he was dead. Monday night at Warlter's (the One Tun),l6 to I was laid against him : Hogarth and Legacy hacked at sto 4 against him. Some said he coughed • others, that he was poisoned ; and Tuesday' morning brought all his backers to Epsom, anxious to know what was the matter. Nobody could tell ;be had done his work, ate • and drank, and his trainer assured all his friends that no horse could be better. Up he jomped to sto 1, and there remained an day. On Tuesday night the lot that laid against him kept on, and reduced him to 10 to 1 ; and the remark was, " some of these coves must have had a pretty strong widdle cracked." Still it went on op to the moment of starting. Here was a horse in fine health, that 3 to 1 had been taken abdtst, reduced to 12 to 1 at starting, and so body could give a reason why. Just before the race it seemed quite a certainty ;11 to 1 was laid currently on two agst the field, and so IC came off. . Ton RACE‘..-Miltalt. Meknes' Mode all the mooing jest beyond the Rubbing House, where Harslet was beat 100 yards, and three others completely dam up, and Cain no doubt fell from the pace being so great. Mu leteer, Rohn, Web, Colonel Udney's the Duke of York's, Ho. Barth, aid Dauntless , were all well la nded at Tattenbam Comer. Melsemr, from having made such severe running, died away. Rufus then took up the running, Web lurkini, in his quarter, Ho w* Muleteer, and Dauntless abreast about a clear length and a , half behind; at the Distance Post, everybody thought Ruins week' asweehe headed, but when called upon to come, Web went in sad wee by two clear lengths ; he is,xto doubt,lolb. better than any ether horse in the race. We think if Muleteer bad made a waiting nee lif would have been second ; he had 71b. the worse by making all the running. Tars Oats. Tontine Was backed against the field at starting, in fact the people • seemed so confident that scarcely any one would take odds about i anything else, but they forgot their old friend Sans. The winner rat for the Gold Cup on the second day, and was claimed by Mr. W. Chiffney, but the General seeming rather vexed with pule, ' with his mare, Chiffney very liberally returned her, on coaditias that his brother Sam rode. Tontine made all the running ; Attica was beat off at the Rob. bing-house. At Tattenhant.corner ' Tontine had a decided lead. Pastime, the Duke of York's, and Pipylina, lay well, Sam in his old place, quite behind, whispering to himself, " I shall fetch them if they keep on," giving the mare a pull and a wriggle at the same time, to make her keep her place. The race, from the half mile in, was all between Tontine and Pastime, and when they had wriggle d and milled each other to a standstill, up comes Sam and wins by a neck• A week before the Rue, neither Tontine nor Pas Imo could have been bought for a thousand. It needs no further mt. ment—anybody can win on the best horse. . FOOT RACE. MZYCJILIPS AND Haavox.—These two noted pedestrians of the present day, are at lengtb'matcbed for £2OO. The distance is one mile, and Metcalfe gives Halton thirty yards at starting. The ram to ta ke placenta Tuesday, the 28th of June; SIGO was staked at York last Monday se'unight, the whole to be made good on Tues day, the 21st of June. . Betting soon got to 5 to 4 on Halton, io consequence of the thirty yards given. Okipper, the pedestrian, completed his arduous task on Tuesday. IhMaday sinnight, a young man of the name of Fraser announced bibutabills to the inhabitants of Berwick, that on Wednesday he would walk or run on the ramparts a 'hundred miles in sixteen hours, and go the last mile backwards. He started fifteen minutes past font o'clock in the morning, and, according to the account of the marker, finished his arduous self-Imposed task some minutes tier eight o'clock in the evening. Int 1 . . MANSION-HOUSL Yesterday, in consequence of the exposure of the transactions which were detailed in our Paper of Saturday, several Gentlemen applied to the USD Maws. fur Warrants, to apprehend one of the parties. The cases were in most respects similar to that of Mr. Woolward. The dupes tent their bills and their money up 'isa town to a person, who, upon receiving them, scot an apokogy, and never afterwards took notice of his correspondents, except to one instance :—A young Medical Gentleman, who resides at a • co n s iderable distance from London, upon seta, the welcome ad. vertisement, wrote to Mr. Ogilvie for the loan of sr !MX ' The answer was in the usual terms. The surgeomentills Mil, bed de amount of the interest and commission; but not receiving whet he expected, he begau to make more noise about the holiness Uwe those who wish for secrecy are in the habit of doing. This was cuicelated to injure the plans of the gang, and they forthwith retehell ti put a stop to his talk for a while. A writ was immediately Wised for the amount of the bill, which was transmitted to ohs 01 the party to be cashed, and the unfortunate man is now actually in prison for that sum. The Loan Mayo' gave some private directions upon the nrkss cases against Mr. Ogilvie, of whom the' public ma/ cepa' te.We much more. / -i ■ _ i .1 CORONEteS INQUEST. Yesterday evening as adjourned Inquest was held at the Blue Posts, Berwick-street, Soho, before THOMAS HMS, Esq. on the body of Mr. Thomas Dainton, aged 75, whose death was occasioned under the following circumstances :—The deceased, it appeared, for sixteen years filled the situation as a beadle of St. James's pa rish, and in his official duty he apprehended, on Friday last, a vagrant boy, whom he was conveying towards Jermyn-street, when he was attacked in York-street, St. James's-square, by a man who gave him a most desperate blow on the right side of his chest, felled him to the ground, rescued the boy from him, and then both of them made their escape. Mr. George Bowes, of • King-street, St. James's• square, house-agent, deposed, that about one o'clock on Friday afternoon he was in York-street, and passed the deceased, who had a young vagrant in custody by the collar, and about midway of the street he noticed a tall man apparently watching the beadle ; and then go towards the deceised and strike him a desperate blow on the right side of his chest; the rush was a cruel and most brutal one; the deceased fell instantly from the blow with violent force on'the flag-stones ; no perion was near, and witness being an, invalid, could not follow the fellow. Although the deceased was down, he still held the lad in custody, when the ruffian made every endeavour to extricate the vagrant from his grasp, which he succeeded in after a.severe struggle. The boy then ran away, and on the man passing witness, in a savage grin, said, " I knew I could soon get the boy away from him." The deceased, while down, called out several times " Stop him, stop him." The fellow appeared about 40 years of age, remarkably thin, tall, fair complexion, very shabbily dressed, and looked like a countryman. Mr. Joseph Smith, of Arthur -street, Trevor-square, Brompton, carpenter, said, a few minutes before one o'clock he was proceeding through St. Jaws's-square, towards the Thatched-house Tavern, saw the deceased take hold of the boy ; did not know his offence, br noticed some matches in his hand ; the man had also matches; the deceased had hold of the boy by the wrists; saw him lying in the street, and the fellow en deavouring to rescue the lad; but did not observe the deceased strike. Witness was prevented going in pur suit, having particular business at the Thatched-house. Mr. Thomas Rose, of Park-place, surgeon, deposed, having examined the body of deceased, found a consi derable quantity of blood in the armpit to the extent of about two pints, occasioned by the rupture of a large vein. The body was in a particular , state, that a fright, Of 4ny extraordinary cause, would have pro duced death, although the deceased did not die of that eruption; and he -.orrs;thrs his decease was accelerated by the blow he received. Another Medical Gentleman was of the same opinion. The CORONER then read over the evidence, and -the Jury unanimously returned a verdict of Mans'aughter against a MAil unknown.
