WATTFIMAYS DINNER: The friends of Mr. WAITHMAN • dined together yesterday at the London Tavern : they were nume rous and very respectable. Mr. Alderman GOODBE ;JERE was in the Chair; Mr.WistrumaN, Mr.Tliofte, Ste. sat on his right ; Mr. BYNG, &c. on his left.— After dinner, Non Nohis Domine, was sung. The CllAlßMAN.—Gentlemen, the sum and sub stance of our object in meeting this day is the benefit, of the People. The throne we consider one of the', essential means ,f benefiting the people. We there- fore drink with great sincerity, " The King."—( Ap plause.) The CHAIRMAN.—" The Prince Regent, and may he never forget his spontaneous declaration,. that the Throne is held for the benefit of thepeople."—( Great applause.)—" The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family, with three times three." The CHAIRMAN.—" Gentlemen, in proposing the Royal Family, it is usual to call for three times three. The toast I now propose to you, I. leave to your selves. It is a numerous family, and it is a very worthy family. " The People 'of •England, that is, the People of the British Empire, may they ever ad here to the principles of the British Constitution, and ever have spirit enough to defend their rights."— ( Very great Applause.) The CITA inmAN.—Gentlemen, if it were necessary to enter into any display of the talents, consistency, and real excellence of the person whose health I am next to propose to you, I should feel myself unequal to the task. But it is better to leave it to your own minds. I know it stands high, very high indeed, in your minds. . I beg leave to propose the health of Mr. Waithman—,immense and long cotdikued ap plause)—the intrepid and persevering friend and de fender of the people's rights, and may he long con tinue one of the Representatives of the City of Lon don."—(Great applause.) Mr. WAITHMAN, (upon presenting himself cn the table he was received with the most enthusiastic cheers.)—Mr. Chaitman, and Gentlemen, were I to attempt to describe my feelings at this moment, I know the attempt would be vain. I never felt so op pressed, if I may use the term, with the kindness of my friends as at this moment. I feel the triumph of this moment; I feel it for myself; I feel the honour which you have conferred upon me, I feel the higher. ground to which you have raised me for defending your rights; but I feel much more the general, cor dial, and successful support which you have given to the principles which I always wished to advocate. With your support, and with your suppOrt alone, I now console myself, and did console myself, when otherwise I must have sunk under the difficulties which opposed me. Courage is, perhaps, a virtue in which you may think me least deficient, and yet my courage would have failed me, without your ap probation aid support. I believe I have your esteem and friendship ; I believe you think well of my prin ciples and of my conduct. For this I thank you ; but if you were met here this day merely from per sonal attachment tome; I should feel peat difficulty indeed in addressing you ; but knowing, as I do, that you are assembled to celebrate the signal triumph of the cause of truth and freedom, in the election which returned me as one of your Representatives, I sum mon fortitude to speak, and to congmtnlate yon on your sneers, on the success of the City of London, en the success of the whole British Empire..—(Greet applatt..r.)—For myself, if I may be allowed to speak on so important a subject, I have to thank you for placing me in the proudest situation in which an in dividual can be placed—a situation in which he can advocate the rights and liberties of the first nation .1 the world : and you have placed me in this situa tion, not by the powerful friendship of any particular person, but by your own independent choice, for the purl:9Se of supporting . your independence, and re straining the tyranny introduced and supported by Ministers . and their Agenfs..—(Greet applause). Their gigantic efforts to establish a system of opinions and of pnblic conduct, foreign to the feelings and to the habits of this nation, I hope to see not only shaken, but overthrown, absolutely overthrown, and that for ever.—(Shouts of applause.)—From my boyhood, my opinions of public . liberty have been unaltered. 'I remember the American war, and my opinions were then formed by the doctrines of Mr. Fox. Upon these opinions I acted then, upon these opinions I have acted all ti y life since, and I now see no reason to change in'y opinions. In the year 1793, a war was commenced, the same in principle as the American war; it was a war to support tax ation without representation. Against this war, this cruel and destructive .war, this war, which has been the cause of all the difficulties and evils we n6w feel, against this war, I was the first man who publicly stood forward, out of •Parliament, and vas the first who proposed to petition against it. I pass over all the intermediate events, and say that I wan the first to oppose the Income Tax, and not only to oppose that abhor red tax, but to overthrow it. These efforts, ii they were not in themselves of much value, at least tended to keep alive the flame of liberty which hasled to this victory which we now celebrate. It. is, indeed, a great victory for the City of London—for the friends of liberty all over the world. This victory has been achieved by you; the whole creditor it belongs to you. 1 , Waterloo was nothing to this victory—(applause).— Waterloo w..s honourable to the British Character— it was honourable to the skill and bras ery of our arms ; but what were its results ? Were not the Freach nation subjected to chains of steel, in order to compel them to bear a system of government suited to the views of tyrants? ;applause). In our own coun try, was not a standing army kept up in the time of peace, only for the purposes of oppression'? (Ap plause). No retrenchment was adopted—no reform was admitted. The battle of Waterloo was the Mi nister's battle, in which neither this country nor the Continent gained benefit.—(Great applause). It was not, therefore, to be compared to the victory gained in Guildhall; fer till then the City of Lon don had been the 3iialster's strong hold; it was, as they knew, stroll& and m;asstilable—(applause). In the City the Minister had tools as ready and as, I.ictive as in the House of Commons. It is now gra ii!'ying, at the end of 20 years., to remind those who insulted us, and whose pov.er we contended against in vain—who laughed at us, cajoled us, and abused us till the British lioa was roused and hurled them from their Eta:: (lame:me applause,)—it is gratify tc remind them that their power was founded in lalsaracd and cipre33:f n, and is therefore short lived --(great applause). When I first entered into the Corporation of London, there was non , . to support me except the excellent and tried frienclw!os !od now done me the honour to fill the Chair: undo- his ban ners I enlisted, and whatever differences of opinion we may' have had, our friendship has never been inter rupted. The Common Hall was then a servile in strument in the hands of Ministers. They had only to send one thither to propose a favourite measure, and it was adopted. Every thing Was carried on with shut doors, and no talents were even allowed to • be brought into action. The Livery have now felt their own strength, and I hope they will never re nounce the power they have acquired. In % . 1 estmin ster aristocratical influence was powerful, but it was nothing to what it was in the City ; for the Mi:iister never attempted any measure without first paving .the way in the City by a meeting of merchants, tra ders, &c. For the war there was a meeting in Mer chant Tailors'-hail, at which the war-whoop was first raised, and at which no man durst oppose the Minis terial sentiment without hazarding his life t for a friend whom I have in my eye (Mi. Favcll) very nar rowly escaped with life from that Meeting. Every • mans life was then at the pleasure of the Miaister, who made daily encroachments on the Constitution, and had recourse to perpetual suspensions of the Habeas Corpus. Another Meeting was held at Gro cers'-hall, in consequence of a Petition from the Li very in Common Hall against the war : at that Meet ing, which you must all remember. I must have lost my life but for you. At that time, all who advoca ted Reform who opposed the war, or who disagreed with the Minister, were revolutionists, fire-brands, and persons not to be endured in society. Of late, they have acted otherwise ; but they have done so, only because they have found their delusion at an end—(great applause). They formerly retired into corners, and voted the public resolutions of the Livery disloyal. Will they now charge us with disloyalty ? --(immense applause). Look at the late Meetings of the loyalists; they soon set a-kicking one another out of doors, and it ended in a common squabble—(much laughter). We .Jacobins. on the contrary, meet and enjoy one another's society in quietness and social humour—(much lauglAt and applause). In canvass ing, I found such a change of opinion, such a warmth and feeling in viewing public events, as proved the lively interest now taken in the conduct of your Re presentatives—(app/wise). At the same time I found many who had no idea of making any other use of their elective franchise but merely to oblige or serve a friend. I hope those will soon catch some of the flame which is happily now so powerful. It is most gratifying to me to see so many of the lowest persons, who are usually called rabble, taking such a keen but peaceable interest in the triumph of independence. Those persons are usually treated with contempt : but is it not from those that our army and navy are supplied : and shall they have so much praise for sa crificing their lives in war, and yet be execrated if they but express a political sentiment? Of profes sions I have none to make My past conduct is the only profession I offer—(great applause). If your pre sent Representatives are found deficient in talent or in principle, your triumph is not therefore less ; for you have chosen men whom you thought you could rely upon, and you have displaced those whom you knew you could not rely upon--(great aN'ause). I thank you for the expres-ion of your sentiments this time; I thank you for the exertion you made during the election; I hope you will transmit the ex ample to your children, and teach them to act in the same manner, when they find the Government of the country carrying on measures inimical to the interests of the ration. _ _ When Mr. WAITHMAN concluded this speech, the whole company rose up as by one spontaneous feel ing, applauded by every demonstratiim of satisfac tion, and concluded by three most hearty cheers. Mr. Broadhurst now sung the following song, which was encored, and rapturously applauded:— TILE TRIUJIPII OF FREEDOM. To the air of `' Scott wha ha'e wi Wallace bled." IC MP. I. F.nglishrnen! the 'day in won ! Corruption's race of darknesn run, Set, the deed of frendoin don! I I Ail fur Viittvry!

Mr. Alderman GOODISEUERE returned thanks, and congratulated them on their deliverance from the trammels which had confined all their efforts. Man kind would ere now have been much advanced in science, literature, wealth, and happiness, but for the preposterons systems of Government which had pre vailed, and entailed slavery, privation, and misery lupon men—(great applause). He hoped that their late success would prove both the commencement and the stimulus to a better order of things. He con luded with giving— " The 4603 Liverymen who voted for Mr. Waitbman." The nett tout was—" tr. Alderman Thorp." Mr. Alderman THORP, in returning thanks, con gratulated them, not so much because he happened to be one of their Representatives ; not even because of their choice of his friend, whose long, able, and conscientious support of freedom, entitled him to the warmest gratitude of his fellow Citizens ; but be cause they had established their own independence— (great applause). It would be his duty and study to redeem the pledges he had already given, and he trusted, that when the day of account came, he should not be found to have been unfaithful. His father, if his age and health had allowed hint to h.? present, would have told them what his principles had been for .50 years, and from them, they might, perhaps, have inferred his own. Of his election, he had only to gay, that while Mr. Waithmati's was doubtful, he • • • 9 1)94 no right to require their totes; but he had aank their good v. iil and their affection for his Sill SS.-- • -frapturnriv applarve.) • The worthy Chairman then gate " Mr. ilyng, and the Indop.trCat I:lectors Middicset.' ; Mr. BYNG said, that i! . .ngiand, nay the world, was ii'debted to them for the example they had given: 't hey had given an example to the powerful, the they were answerable for tl.eir conduct to those froi whom they derived all their poWer.

COURT OF KING'S DENCIL JULY 8. Tern r. CURTIS. This was an issue from the Court of Chance:-( try the validity of an assignment made to the pl tiff, under the following, circumstance!: It appeared, that Charles 'l'app, brother of plaintiff, was a coach-maker, and had entered i partnership with a Mr. Clowther on which ccca , the plaintiff had advanced liinr a considerable stn mcmey. Messrs. Crowther and Tapp carried on _ ness until the year 1816, when, by the suggestion another of plaintiff's brothers (Mr. James Tai Messrs. Crowther and Tapp determined to give , plaintiff security for the advances made On the pal of his brother. Messrs. Crowther and Tapp had. May, 1816, let aft a landau and harness by the ; to a Mr..Cov.'el, a gentleman of fottune, who agr•ed to pay ninety guineas a-year for it, for five yet during which time he contracted to keep it. Th. determined to assign over this sum to the plait and a regular assignment was drawn up by'theii torney, in October, MI6, and kept by him, wif any notice having been given to plaintiff or to Cowel of this circumstance. Messrs. Crowther Tapp became embarrassed in the latter part of . and at the end of the year finally becamel , anknu On the 7th of January, Mr. Cowel received nc that he was to pay ninety guineas a-year, the rent the landau, to the plaintiff, as a regular assign :. had been made to that effect by the partners, M Crowther and Tapp. It however appeared, the the day this notice sNlis given, the docket had , struck against them, and the question now to be cided was, whether this assignment to the broth( one of the bankrupts was or was not an undue ference given to plaintiff to the prejudice of the creditors ? A re;t number of witnesses were examined both shies. • After which, Mr. Justice Assort summed up case to the Jury, who retired ; and, after a consults. tion of more than three hours, returned a verdict r defendants.
