The applause for this toast had hardly cea•eJ, when it was reechoed and increased by the announcement of Sir James Mackintosh,who entered the room, accompa nied b) Dr. Miller and some other personal acquaint ances.

He would only add, that the illness which now afflicted his father, bad been acquired in that country (India) to which some years ago he had been bent in a sort of honourable exile, because he was a man not formed to bow down and worship the golden calf—(Heitera Sod cheers). Here Mr. Mackintosh became evidently overpowered by his feel. Logs, and sat down, after requesting the indulgence of the compel, and thanking them for their sympathy. The CHAIRMAN then said be would propose a toast that required no eulegium. They might get reform in Parliament, and all the checks on the Government the mind of man could invent, but suffer the Legislature to pot a stop to the lib-rty of the press, and they would find little utility in their specious machinery. He then gave " The Liberty ofnhe Press." Mr. WALLACE, croupier, rose amidst great applause, and gave " The Chaisman,“ which was drank with the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. MAIWRLL rettithed thanks for the very kind way in whichlis health had been drank. He assured them that neither a prospect of riches, titles, not ho uours, nor a fear of.personal danger, would cause him to compromise the interests of his constituents--(Ap planse).—He would then propose" Success to the Me- . chanics Institution of Glasgow." The CsLuaatan 'called for a particular bumper. Sir JOHN MAXWELL rose, and was received with long-continued cheers.

Admiral amino returned his warmeat thanks for the very kind way in which his health had been drank. The Camanan said, he rose to propose the health of a young Nobleman who beloagefi On a Noble House, in which he might say the love of liberty had ban hereditary. He gave" Lord Glenorchy," which was drank with applause. Lord GlAnoneur returned thanks for the honour done him. The Outman said, that he should propose the health et Mr. Mackintosh, jun. and that he might follow the footsteps . otkie illustrious father to a happy consummation. This toast was dost& posi!iou. . As soon as the applause had subsided— Lord GIANORCHT rose, to call the attention of the company to the toast which was just put into his hands. It was gratifying to him to know that it conveyed a sentiment which would soppott itself, and therefore re quired not the aid of so feeble an advocate as he was. It referred to the great bulwark Lf popular rights—the Trial byJury ; one,too,which they ought to recoPect,was associated with the noblest exertions of one of their own countrymee—( Applause).—ln allusion to whit had been said by the learned Professor, of the fact that Government had been driven to civil teforms by the voice of the people, was all this merit, then, to be given to the present Government? It was all well for them to take credit for the application of better principles, but at least they ought to allow the original proposers and inventors the solitary conception of their formation —( Applause) —This to be sure, would be called the thunder of their claims by Mr. Canning—(Laughter and applause)—so it was ; but with the sound of the joke, let them not forget the teal thunder of the elo quence with which these great principles bad been en forced by a Statesman (Sir J.Mackintosh) now present; and whose great efforts, in conjunction with those of others, had ultimately led to the recognition of the great ptinciple of " Trial by Jury," which he now pro posed. It was drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of Sir James Mackintosh. To have such a man their coun tryman, was the pride of Scotland, although his talents were equally exercised for the behoof of Great Britain and Ireland—he was the true advocate, not only of his own country, but of the great family of mankind (Applause). As Scotchmen, as Englishmen, as men, nar, as philosophers, interested in the welfare of the %%hole human race, they were bound to express their gra itude for the exercise of so much genuine worth— ( Applause). The dawning of a general and enlightened spirit in the University of this great and floutishing too n, had, happily for them, preserved, from some- thing approaching to extinction, the noble principles for which Hampden had bled in the field, and Syd nty and Russell on the scaffold ; and also brought the people of Glasgow into a more intimate—indeed, into a rersonal connexion with the man whom they so long at a distance admired—(Cheers). He bailed with great satisfaction the cheering support which they were prepared to give so distinguished a public char icier and genuine a patriot as their guest, Sir J. Mackintosh—(liemeteed cheer's) —a man who had first d• v te.l pen to protect from defamation the honest efforts of the patriots of another country—(alluding to the Vindicia Gallica). His career had thus opened with the publication of one of the ablest productions that had ever been issued from a press at the time teeming with works of the first-rate ability. Whatever were the questions which came before Feriae-' went, Sir James was always found at his post, firmly withstanding the tor: ent of bad principles, and enforcing and maintaining the diffusion and influence of good— (Hens, hear).—But most celebrated had he been in his endeavours to reform the Criminal Code of his country —(Hear, hear).—There, at length, had he succeeded in making even Mr. Peel a convert to his principles, and in securing the amendment of laws, which went to op pose an honest man's sense of humanity to the force of his conscie nce—(Hear). Whilst their distinguished gae.t was tl - e advocate of such principles, he was also mild and tolerant antagonist; so much so, that those who opposed his politics would rejlice to secure his attachment. Whilst this Statesman opposed on parti cular occasions the indiscreet influence of the Monarch, be always • bset wed a respectful deference for the man. Whilst he attacked the vices and abuses of the Church, of always separated the cause t.f titre Religion from the cant, the hypocrisy, and secularity of an overgrown ec cte!iastical establi,hment—(ArAuse). Whilst he en deavoured to restrain the unbiaJled exercise of arbitrary power, his oppc:sit.on was unmarked by political viru lence ; and when Ministers came forward to put dow n • the rashne s and excesses of intemperate men, S r James Mackintosh had always implored the Government, in - est inguishina the evil, not to ovetlook its cause—(Hear). Happy was it for Scotland that she had given birth to such a man, whom honours and sealth could not shake when thrown into the scale of freedom, and who would always, he watt contith nt, be found on the side of liberty and virtue. He concluded by propositig " the health of Sit James Mackintosh," which was drank with four times tour, accompanied with every testimonial of pub lic se pest. Sir JamesMaikintosh was obliged,during the preceding yea:ha the Chairman, to retire from the room, oppressed by indiapoitiks; and finding himself not recovering in the open air, to retire al together, accompanied by Dr. Miller.

The CUAIIIMAII next gave " The revival of the subverted liberties of Spain, Italy, and Portugal, and the patriotic exiles from those countries." The CHAIRMAN said, he had the pleasure to propene the health of his relative, who was acting as croupier. He was descended from the greatest of all men that ever appeared in this or any other country. All that Wash ington, Bolivar, or any other ever attempted or achieved, was performed by Wallace in perfection. He proposed the health of Mr. Wau,acs, who said he rose under feelings of great doubt and embarrassment to return thanks for the way in which his health had been drank. Mr. MACIUNTOMI then gave " The University of Glasgow," which was drank with all the honours. Professor MILNE, in his own name, and in the name of the University, begged leave to return his sincere thanks for the honour they had just done them. He con cluded by proposing the health of Henry Brougham, Esq.—Three times three. Mr. M , Laattr, from London, said he could not be silent when the health of his frienj. Hear) Brougham, was drank with such applause. It %as the young men in the Glasgow College who brought Mr. brougham to town, and be was sorry they were divided between such men as Mr. Brougham and the Great Unknown,' as they called him—(Applause.) What had the 'fiends of civil and religious liberty to do with this Great Unknown ?—(Laughter). He never wrote a single line to ameliorate the condition of the human race. The whole extent of his power was to endeavour to amuse, and be cared nothing about the liberty of the human race. Mr. Qualm', of Genova*, rose to propose "the health of Sir Frauds Burdett," which was drank with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. SPIAmor begged to return thanks in behalf of one of the best men living. Mr. DouOLAC being called upon by the Chair, he was received by the meeting with the most unani mous burst of applause. He rose to propose the health of a man born in this city, educated at this University, known to many of us personally, and by his works to all the wow—the Scottish laureat of liberty, the author of The res of Hope. He gave " The health of the author of e Pleasures of Hope, and success to the London Univers' ." Mr. MAXWELL. rose to propose the eral part of his Majesty's Ministers ; and would only say that it had been alleged against the Whip that they wished as much calamity as would bring them into power. He would say for them that he should be very happy to be excluded from office, if their opponents adopted their principles. If Ministers would adopt the Consti tutional principles, not the Ministerial, he would be glad to give up all the honour and glory of governing the State. After several other toasts were Zillah and appropriate speeches made, the meeting brake up. - "P grn STOCK EEL Consols opened at 931 to 1 for the Account, with little Ming.

According to letters from St. Petersburgh, of she 6th of this month, the conferences on the affairs of Greece have at length begun between Count Nesselrode, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassadors from the Courts of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin.. They had had three meetings, and it was observed that Mr. Stratford Canning, who came to St. Petersborgh merely on a special mission, was not present at them. It was said. that having executed his mission, be would shortly leave St. Petersburgh and return to England. The latest accounts from Constantinople bring ao. thing of any importance. M. Mintiacky was, to all appearance, on good terms with the Turkish Ministry. and was expecting further instructions from his Court. It remains to be seen what effect will be produced in the Divan by the conferences on the affairs of Greece at St. Petersburgh, in which no Turkish Ambassador takes part, but to which a Greek Agent can still less be admitted. Nothing certain was known respecting the operations of Ibrahim Pacha at Candia and Rhodes; a Greek fleet bad sailed to watch his motions. FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST, MARCH 17. The Turkish squadron that lately left Constantinople to cruise in the Archipelago, to protect the coasts of Asia Minor, and keep away the Greek cruisers which inter. rupt the communications between the Turkish ports, has not yet gut .out of the Strait, being prevented by a division of light Greek ships, which has appeared off the Dardanelles, and is accompanied by many fire ships.— In fact, the Turks are more desponding than ewer. It is known that the Captain Pacha some time ago ad. dressed a very frank report to the Sultan, in order to convince him that the measures hitherto adopted to equip the Turkish fleet, are insufficient to attain the object proposed; that the Turks and Jews who have been compelled to act as sailors on board the fleet, are not only incompetent, but are even the cause of the bad working of the ships, which has teen so fatal, and that considerable sacrifices must he made to procure sailors from the maritime nations of Europe. The intelligence from Greece, which has rarely been very consistent, is now so contradictory, that it is really difficult to get at the truth. The accounts in t German Papers are perpetually at ♦ariance with each other. One day we are told that the preparations of the Turks for the next campaign are so formidable as to threaten the complete subjugation of the Morea, which, according to Mr. BLAQUIEII4 in his interesting work on the subject, just published, only contains a po pulation of 600,000 persons, of whom forty thousand men are in arms. Another day brings us areport that the Turks are unable to man their ships—that blaming PACHA is in a state of inactivity—and that Patras, al most the last strong hold of the Turks, has fallen. Nor are the private letters, even from Greece, to be relied on ; they are vague and unsatisfactory. There is, how ever, no doubt that the Ottoman Porte is making ex traordinary exertions for the ensuing campaign, and that much confidence in its success is inspired, by the dissensions of the Greek Chiefs. These party-feuds are a serious injury to the cause of independence, and we fear the mutual jealousies of the Moreotes and the in habitants of the Islands will not be easily appeased. It is true the rebellion of COLOCOTRONI has been put down, and that he and some of his party are in ens. tody ; but it is doubtful whether the Government is sufficiently formidable to venture on punishing him, particularly since he has been joined by Loano, whose family possesses great influence in Greece. A Morning Paper states, on the authority of a letter from Zante, dated March 7, that Inaantst PACHA has at length made a landing at Modon, with six or 7,000 men, notwithstanding the unusually stormy weather with which he has had to contend. The letter adds, that " It does not appear that the Greeks have now any force at sea to prevent the rest of the Pacha's forces being sent from Suda, and we expect soon to hear that Navarin has been taken, being a more convenient port than Modon for a fleet." The gloom this letter is calculated to throw over the affairs of Greece is, however, in some degree dissiptted by the arrival of German Papers this forenoon to the 2d instant. One of these, the Nwrentburg, Correspondent, contains an article from the Coast of the Mediterranean, dated the 17th ult. being ten days later than the private letter in Zante, which is not only silent as to the laj mg of 'IBRAHIM PACMA at Modon, but on the con trary, states that the Turks are extremely dissatisfied at the continued inactivity of this Commander, and that he is suspected by the Porte. The At lgenteine Zeitong also states that laaAHIM PAcUA was at Rhodes and Candia, and that a Greek fleet had sailed to watch his motions, as stated in the STAR of Monday. These Papers represent the Porte as unable to man the vessels at Constantinople, either with Turkish or European sailors ; and it is said, that conferences on the affairs of the Greeks have commenced at St. Peters burgh, between the Russian Minister, Count NISSIL RODS; and the Ambassador: of France, Ansi; i.t, and ~' .-} %say %U "'mamas UV US IIIMOM.. 1 •• • .•• ••• . 00 ',fondest sati.faction, had, by his sud become the cause of much sorrow and 111 be removed from the society of to travelling neArly 1100 miles to meet easily believe was a very mortifying (Hear).
