This annual festival was most splendidly celebrated at E.linburgh ou Monday. nign. About 250 Gentle men sit down to dinner, and among them we observed some of the most distinguished friends of liberal grin• ciples in Scotland. Mr. Jeffrey, the Chairman, was supported on his right by the Duke of Hamilton, and on his left by Sir. A. Maitland Gibson, of Clifton Hall. Mr. Moncrief, the croupier, W4S supported on his right by Admiral Fleming, and on' his left by Sir William Hamilton. Among the company, the most eloquent Member; of the Scottish 80. might be observed, and severdl Members of the Legislature. After the cloth was removed, the first toast was— " The King," (with all the honours)—" 'The. Duke of York, and the other Members of the Royal Family." Mr. JIIFFREY—i have now the honour to propose the peculiar and appropriate toast of this day, the immortal memory of that illustrious patriot and distinguished statesman, to tom lienuirate whose eminent Virtues and public set vices we are assembled, to strengthen our selves for contests which we have yet to sustain in the cause of liberty, by the recollection of his intrepidity, and to derive encouragement in the course of this struggle, by the contemplation of those honours and remembrances by which all such strugAles, even when unsuccessful, must ever be rewarded. Here the Learned Gentleman entered into a warm and elabo rate eulogy of the talents of Mr. Fox, and of the necessity of perpetuating his memory. He was not, said Mr. Jeffrey, unsuccessful in any seine of the, word—the man who bestowed on his country the, blessings of the libel law, and who dissolved the bonds of the African negro ; and who tended to wash out the stains of the white trafficker, was not unsuccessful in his career. But he was not unsuccessful in a wider sense of the word, if it be true that through the whole of his career he is to be looked back to as the person who tended to raise the public against the strong foot of royal innovation ; and if to him future generations look up as the guide to steer them amidst their diffi culties, without trampling on the one hand on the rights of the people, or entrenching on the other on the bul warks of the Constitution. He has in these views been eminently successful, and much more so than those whose acts leave no trace behind them but vain monuments and tinsel ornaments. Few among us, he continued, can hope to have any noticeable share in the large arid brilliant honours that envi roned the name of Fox, but each of us in our humble sphere, may honour ourselves by honouring him— (Great applause)—by professing this disinterested feeling of public good, by the concession, that we feel suffi ciently paid by privations and toils. I trust I have said enough to answer the imaginary queries which I pro posed to myself in the outset, and more than enough to satisfy you of that which you came here all satisfied of, the propriety of dedicating this day to the public pro fession of those principles. I have already detained you too long from the interesting toasts with which we are to be favoured, and for the sake of which 1 have risen. I beg leave, therefore, to propose to you— " The immortal memory of th. Right Hon. Charles James Fox."—(Tune, Charlie is my darling.) The CHAIRMAN next gave— " The People, and their rights, as established at the Revolution in 1688." The CLIAIRMAN—I now propose the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the strenuous sup porter of those principles which placed his family on the Throne.—Tune, London March. " The British Navy, the natural defence of our country."-- 0 The British Army." Mr. MONCRIEF, in a neat speech, proposed— " A cordial union of all the friends of Freedom in the cause of Reform." Mr. G. L. MASON, of Lindertis, proposed the healt► of .11r. Jeffrey, which was received with enthusiastic applause. The CHAIRMAN next proposed what he conceived to be the sum and substance of all the objects they desired: " Civil and Religious liberty all over the world." Mr. MONCRIIiF rose—Mr. Chairman, I beg to pro pose the health of a distingt►ish:d Nobleman, the steady friend of Mr. Fox, and the firm supporter of his princi ples, and whom, 1 believe, I may with safety, and with- out disparagement distinguish as the greatest livitig statesman of England—l mean Eat' Grey : and with his name I desire to connect the Whigs of Eng land, generally. The Earl of ItossLYN said—lt is interesting to me to submit to you a toast which for tunately requires no corn. mendatioo from me, and which needs none to make it acceptable to you. I mean to propcse to you the Whigs of Scotland, and I have no more to do than to express my n i,hes for your own success, and for the prosperity of the common cause in which we are engaged. The Noble Earl concluded by proposing the health of— " The Duke of Hamilton and the Whigs of Scotland." The Duke of flAximron returned thank. The healths of the Dukes of Leinster and Argyle, Lord Archibald Hamilton, and several ratters, were successively drank, Mr. JEFFREY left the chair and the room about half past eleven ec.ock, followed by the whole company. Captain Nam of the Nestor packet-ship,wreckeJ on Long Island the 24th ultimo, on a voyage from Liver pool to New York, has been very unformate; having had, on the 23d of April last, the misfortune to lose the Amity, on a similar voyage, on Sandy Hook. The brig Leslie, OGtLBY, has been chartered by the Brazilian Mining Association, to carry out mi ners, with a complete stock of implements used in mating, for Brazil. She sailed yesterday' from the River for Fal mouth, to take on board Lhe various superintendents' and workmen, who have been engaged in Corilwall tor that purpose. There was killed on the 9th of January, by a musket ball, near Templeberg, a large eagle, which held a heron in his talons, and fell doxn with a great noise, in the meadow between the Prest and the Spree. It was seven feet two inches Rhine measure, across the tips of the wings, and appears to have been a very old bird. Its presence in this pat t of the country is remarkable. An elopement took place from Sloane-square, on Wednescl.ty morning. The parties area Mr. B—, a gay young clerk of five-and-twenty, and a Miss F—, who resided the next house to the young swain, aged twenty, and, as it is reported, will become possessed ol an independency w hen of age, in addition to personal charms. The parties were traced to Sun-street, Bramp ton, where a hackney-coach set them down at a pastry cook's, and it was ascertained they had taken a post chaise to lloun,low, and thence to Windsor, where they hired a single horse chaise, and were overtaken refreshing themselves at an inn at Egliam, by the Lady's brother, and she reluctantly returned to Charl ton's at Hounslow, the George Inn, the same evening, with her brother. DRURV.LANE TR4ArRE . . f,-.•;1(N7, • KEAN. • • The performances of last night were without any interest; but before their close, the appearance of Mr. KEAN to-night, in the character of Othello, was an nounced, and the announcement was immediately fol lowed by an uproar Which cannot but be considered as ominous. The two galleries set up a shout of appro• bation, and gave sever al cheers,sith cries of " KEAN for ever !" while the pit appeared somewhat divided; but, on the whole, to have a majority of dissents. The noise and confusion continued so long, that it was a consider able time before the little afterpiece Which closed the performances of the night, could be commencel MASONIC, FESTIVAL. Yesterday being. the birthday of his' Royal Highness the Duke of *Susses, the same was ,celebrated by the Masonic Fraternity, of which . his Royal Highness is M. W. Grand Master, at freemasons Hall, Great. Queen street, on which occasion nearly two hundred end_ fifty of his brethren partook of an excellent ditiner. The Chair was taken by Colonel T. Wildman, Pro iincial Grand Master . for Nottinghamshire. His Royal. HIGHNESS was on the tight f the Chair man, and his Grace the Duke of Leinster, M.W. Grand Master for Ireland, on the left. On the cloth being removed, Non Nubia Domine was sung by the Musical Brethren, and :lie usual toasts drank. The CHAIRMAN; 111 proposing the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, observed, it would, he knew, be received with enthusiasm; and more parti cularly as the Brethren were assembled to commemorate the Birth-day of his Royal Ilighness.—(The toast was drank with three times three, and enthusiastic approba tion.) The applause having subsided, and silence being restored, His ROYAL HIGHNESS rose, and observed, it was with feelings of the warmest gratitude he acknowledged the kind and warm manner in which his health had been drank, and though, generally, when a man arrives at a certain period of life, an additional year is not always a subject of congratulation; yet, when he saw such an assemblage of rank, talent, and respectability, as that by which he was now surrounded, it conveyed a feeling of satisfaction to his mind to find that, by the flight of time, he had not lost, but gained, friends. His. Royal Highness concluded by drinking the health of the Brethren assembled. - His How. HIGHNESS proposed the health of his Grace the Duke of Leinster, M. W. Grand M aster of behold. His GRACE returned thanks. Hi, ROYAL HIGHNESS prop° ed the health of the Ladies, which WAS drank with unequivocal marks of approbation, and due Masonic honours. His RoyA L HtcraNESS then gave the health of Colonel Wildman, the Chairman, with best thanks for his kind- ness on the present emergency—Loud applause.

Tr) New BrerrswiCk Papers to the 17th ult. haie been received. They contain, as usual, in the winter seakon, frequent and alarming accounts of conflagrations:--the wooden houses; and the necessity of large fires, corn bining to produce these serious effects. On the 12th of December, i baker's house - was burned down, and had not the efforts of the inhabitants been grea t , the fire would have spread rapidly. The alarm was great, and the first account of its extent was announced at the doors of the places Of worship; the rush of the people was excessive, and attended with serious effects; but no lives appear to have been lost. Gibraltar Papers to the 7th inst. have been received. The Governor has commenced very impoitant mea sures—the regulating of the garrison as to wine and spirits, which a few years ago produced so great a sen sation, and was productive of such serious conse quences:—Proclamation by his Excellency the E.irl of CHATHAM, K.B. one of his Majesty's Most Honour able Privy Council, General of his Majesty's forces, Colonel of the 4th or King's own Regiment of Foot, Governor and Cemmander-in-Chief of the garrison and territory of Gibraltar, &c.

JitALOusr—Yesterday morning, the neighbourhood of Pa►ker's-place, Drury•lane, was thrown into some confusion, by a man of decent appearance Cushing °tit of a house, covered with blood, who, after running a few paces, fell to the earth insensible. He was pur sued by a woman of decent exterior, who hurled a flat iron at his head, and was proceeding to further despe rate measures, when some persons who had followed seized and carried her into the house, where the *man was also taken. His name is Conad; he is an engraver by trade; and, it appears, with liis wife, occupied apartments in the house; but having allele been' very ii regular in his conduct, and inattentive to his home, his wife became jealous, and on his return home yes terday morning, attacked him with a case-knife, and stabbed him. in the face, neck, left breast, and in the groin* slightly ; be escaped her fury and instant de struction by rushing nut as described. On being taken into the house, medical aid was procured, and he was pet to bed in a dreadful suite. Mrs. Conad left the house, but returned, and is now extremely .attentive 16' her unfortunate husband. NAVAL INTEL! IGENCE.

The new Canal of Amsterdam, forming a communi cation from the ocean to that city, exceeds in depth and d mensinns any like work in England. A 44 gun frigate :i,s made tl e pa sage, and there is sufficient capacity for even a ship of 80 guns. The projected canal from Portsmouth is calculated for ships of the line, and, if executed, mii,ht vie with this canal of Amsterdam in deoth, and in length would exceed it in the proportion of 100 to 50 miles.

There they run a mile or two forward, and a mile br two backward, but here, in very many instances, it is straight forward, and though not short, Is very decisive.

HUNT.—NAPI.6.I, JAN• 10.—" 1 wrote you a few lines in the beginning of last month, giving you an account of a most barbarous murder, where an English Gentleman and his wife were the victims of the unprovoked ferocity of ravage assassins. The. only particular in which I was incor rect, was in . the .number of the murderers, who were . sir, instead of three, as I stated.. Little hopes were en tertained that they would be discovered; but as the activity of the English was set in motion, the police was stimulated (to display an unwonted energy ; and at this moment six and this ty men are in custody, every one of whom might be hanged, Without any fear of shedding innocent blood. The murderers are certainly in this band: indeed, the property, or part of it, taken from the Lady, robbed a few minutes before the mur der, has been found upon some of them : however, it is still uncertain whether they will be. brought to pu nishment, unless - the judicial body rousei• itself as tra: expectedly as the police • has done. It seems 'that the higher powers were 'piqued by the idea of strewing fo .reignersthat they should be protected; and it is said the King had the acount of the proceedings sent bins , every day:" . • CORN EXCHANGF., MARK-LANE, JAN. 28.
