DINNER TO MR. 11013110 USE, ON lIIS LIBE RATION FROM IMPRISONMENT. —• A Meeting of the Friends of Parliamentary Re form, the Trial by Jury, and the Liberty of the Press, was yesterday held at the Crown and Anchor Ta vern, in the Strand, in order to congratulate Mr. HOEHOUSE upon his liberation' from confinement on a mandate of the House of Commons. The applause which the company conferred upon Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Mr. llosHouse, on their first arrival at the Meeting, was immense. The Dinner was provided for 350 persons ; but more than 450 attended •it. The company was of the most respectable description, and superior tt. those who usually attend dinners of this description. At five o'clock, Sir FRANCIS BunnErr and Mr. Ma- UOUS E, who seemed to have suffered from his recent imprisonment, entered the room. The first toast after dinner was, " The People, the only free source of legitimate power." It was drank amidst loud applause, and with three times three.— Song, "Britons, strike home . Toast, " The King ; may lie always remember the principles which caused his family to be seated on the Throne of Great Bri tain ;" three times three. Song, " Rule, Britannia!" Toast, " The only remedy tor all our grievances—a thorough Reform of Parliament"—(Long, loud, and continued cheers for lame minutes).—Song, " Kick the Rogues out"—(Loud cheering).—Sir FRANCIS BUR DE TT took the Chair. Sir FaAscts ilvaorrT then rose, and said, that the toast which he was about to give, precluded the necessity of saying a single word upon it ; it spoke sufficiently for itself. After what he had mentioned, the Electors of Westminster could have no doubt but that he was going to give the health of John Cam lioblionse, Esq. May he, by the unbought and unbiassed Suffrag es of the Electors of Westminster, soon be enabled - to be placed face to face with his prosecutors." Mr. Iloonouse then rose, amid waving ofhandker chiefs and the loudest cheers. lie returned them many thanks for the honour which they had that day conferred upon him, and said, that when Go vernment was at valiance with the best interests arid wishes of the People, it was only natural that those who suffered punishment should enjoy the confidence of the people more than those who inflicted it— (Chee,.s). It was an old maxim of law, which had often b.eu acted upon in this country, and which it had been n:sel'ved to times like these to violate, that there was no wrong without a remedy (Cheers). In his own case he could say that this maxim had been verified; for, though by recent practice, those who were called his prosecutors, btu who ought rather to be called the national prosecutors, had placed him out of the pale of the Constitution; and, when he Applied for justice, had prevented him from finding any remedy—still the practice of the people of England was true to their principle. In this Meeting he found his remedy for all the sufferings which he had endured. He found it with them -= the people of England ; he found it with them—an as sembly met spontaneously to give their verdict where the Judges had not dared to give airy ; and where those whose misgovernment had been the occasion of every evil which Englishmen now suffered, had exerted all their powers to prevent the giving of a verdict (Loud cheers). As long as there was this remedy, as long as there was this resort from injus tice in the hands of the sufferer, there was nothing for the people of England to fear. They would al ways have champions to fight their battles; so long as those champions could come to the people for, their best and their most lasting reward. It was the saying of an individual, who was a great man in his 'day (he meant the Lord Keeper Finch), that althotigh the Romans, although the Danes, although the Nor mans, had conquered the land of England, they never had, nor they never could, conquer the free institu tions and the free laws which belonged to it. The country might think that this conquest, which had never been accomplished by those who v ere the most polished, and therefore the most dangerous con querors of their day, nor by those who were the most barbarous and inhuman of mankind, had been re served for a certain set of adventurers of the present day. He trusted that it would be found, that, in spite of all the triumphs which they had achieved, this triumph was not one reserved for them. What! was it possible that a gang of individual eaves-drop , pers, spree, men - without character, men whb could only command respect by means of corruption, of which they were masters—was it possible.' these men should put down what no sword, what no trick, what no aitifice, what not even the lapse of all-devouring time itself had yet been able to destroy? (Loud cheers). Gou forbid that such should ever be the case. Such a victory was never reserved for them. Englishmen were not destined to fall by such hands; for even an assembly met as they were at present, to protest against the acts of tyranny which had been commit ted, was sufficient to shew that the People of Eng land were not thus to be subdued. He had no hesi tation in repeating, that by open force they never could be subdued, though an open attempt thus to subdue them had recently been made in the North— (Loud cheering). What they hail to guard against' , "was fraud. Those who were in power were certain co exert their own bad passions in order to being into play, and in order to play upon, the good. passions of their adversaries. Of this there was a recent in stance in the atrocious event which had just oc curred ;'an event too which had truly alarmed the friends of liberty, but of which Ministers had taken advantage by making the Sovereign deliver a verdict from the Throne, even while some of the deluded persons in that transaction were awaiting a trial at law, and surely it was not too much to reprobate such conduct in making the seat of mercy to become a place whence such a verdict issued, as would hang over the heads of these persons when they went to trial before a Jury. Now the country had a breathing time at last, as Parliament had expire/ Often as the People had heard of bad Parliaments (and, in deed, there were few of any other kind since the Re volution), yet this was the worst ever seen, for in the short space of five weeks, it had done every thing which the most devoted friend of slavery could wish to see done. He could not, however, help congra tulating them on the confession which the Whig.. had at last made, of their deep conviction that a sub stantial Reform was the most indispensible remedy for all existing evils. This has been declared by the Whigs, at Newcastle, York, Bristol, Norwich, mac. and though he felt praise,ought to be given to them for this, yet still he considered they had only de dared themselves so because the People were friends. of Reform : and but for this being the case, we never should have hoard one word from them on the sub ject. The speaker then commented on the definition given, last Session, by Mr. Canning, of what were the People ; and observed, that had he had the ho nour of a seat in the House, he would have told the Right Hoa. Gentleman, that it was no wonder the People were se unfledged a bird as he represented them, for that he and hit colleagues had assisted in plucking it ; and that the beauteous plumage it pos sessed had been torn off by the band of ruthless ad venturers, who were traffickers in feathers. After some observations on the subject for which he was com mitted, and a humourous comment on the conduct of the Yorkshire Member (Mr. Stuart Wortley), Mr. Hobhouse concluded, with assuring the Meeting of his earnest wish to devote himself to their service, in whatever situation he might be placed—(Applause). , The next toast was—" Thenuly remaining security of English Liberty—:Trial by. Jury." Tune—Old England, to thyself be true. A Mr. MURPHY sung an excellent song composed for the occasion, relative to the ensuisg Election, to the tune of Scots tan ha'e. He su►tg it in admirable style, and was elected. " Sir F. Burdett, our incorprarable advocate ; may a British Jury vindicate his noble address on the Manchester Massacre." Tune—While happy in sty native lead. Sir INA ACIS then came forward amidst the loud est cheering, which . confirmed for several minutes.— As soon as silence was obtained, he spoke as follows: "Gentlemen —Gratifying as it is to me, on any oc casion, t 9 meet albody of my countrymen, and par ticularly a body of the Elector, of Westminster, with whom I am snore inunediately acquainted, yet I must confess that I never felt more pleasure in my life than I feel at this moment in addressing. so nu merous and respectable a body of Englishmen.— Indeed,Gentlemen. I consiJer the presence .of such an usembly, tinder the circumstances which hare PRICE SEVEN-PENCE. brought us together, as a harbinger to that triumph of liberty, the struggle for which will very soon ta l II place, and which, though we hive been lately de feated, will, I have no doubt, be effected ; particularly I when I consider that we now come forward with many advantages whi c h we could not expect upon i the recent occasion ; and as we shall be unhampered by all those difficulties which we had to encounte- ) and which it was impossible to provide against.— Gentlemen, I repeat that I hail this Meet as an omen of the result of that struggle in which we are about to engage. We have now in our favour a greater—l might rather say, the greatest of" all ad vantages—namely, a still further acquaintance with the character and abilities of the Gentleman whom you have proposed to be my colleague in the Representa tion of the great City of Westminster (Loud ',placate). If Mr. Hobiaouse merited the independent support of the Electors of Westminster upon the late Election, and that he did so was testified in the number and character of those who supported him, we can row* have little doubt of his success, provided that i the Electors of that City.think w ith me, as I am surd they must, that character and abilities are essential to the cause of Reform. Gentlemen, after you have been so ably and eloquently addressed by Mr. Hob house, and seeing that he has scarcely left a single topic untouched by his masterly hand, I am deterred almost from noticing any subject upon which he has entertained you, lest I should detract from the beauty and merit which, through his assistance, it has at tained in your eyes. But, Gentlemen, besides the "advantages I have noticed already under which we come forth in the glorious struggle, there is an achti tional subject for congratulation, in the csintraq which Mr. Hohhouse's character furnishes to the 'mere blank which his opponent presents before the Public. You will please to recollect that we have not up to this hour been able to get a declaration from Mr. Lamb upon any single public question in which you are interested ; and in truth, Gentlemen, i think that in so withholding any declaration, that Gen tleman has treated you in a manner that san scarcely be justified towards the Electors of some rotten Cor nish Borough. Gentlemen, in looking over the Morn. ing Papers of this morning, I find the following Ad vertisement inserted in one of them, which I sh.ta. beg leave to read to you : ' INFLUENCE.—Any Gentleman desirous of a SEAT in a certain ASSKMBLY, may acconsplish his object by addressing G. G. post-paid, No. 37, Tavistock-street, artent-garden.--1114 personal application can be received is the first instance.' —Now, Gentlemen, with all respect, I should btg leave to recommend Mr. George Lamb's immediate attention to this advertisement—(Laughter and qp plause).—And I humbly think, that if he were to apply, at No. 37, Tavistock-street, Covent : garden, be would have a much better chanceof Obtaining a seat in a certain Assembly than he possibly can have front the Electors of Westminster. There is one topic' which I am anxious to recal to your consideration, and which I am certain would have received the amplest justice from the eloquence of Mr. Hobhottse, if 'his attention to the multiplicity of subjects, with which he had delighted - you, would have ?ermines' it. The topic to which 1 allude, is -one upon whiCh I have to congratulate you and the Public at large, namely, the progress of the spirit of Reform. Gen tlemen, we now find that a thirst for Reform is no longer confined to Westminster, or to Liverpool, or to Bristol—nay, it is not confined to England itself, but we trace it making its irresistible march through the civilized world, and it is .with delight I add, that nowhere does it make a more vigorous and in telligent progress than in the kingdom of Scotland. Reform, Gentlemen, has been introduced into the capital of that kingdom by a great pubi luminary of this country—a man whose public life and ser vices should never be forgotten, however it might happen that in some part of his conduct we might be able to detect acts which to us appeared to be in consistent with the 'setter part of his life--I moat Lord Erskine—(Applause for several minutes). — Yes, Gentlemen, we find, at a public dinner just given to that great man in his native city of Edin burgh—we find him the same Erskine—for I will not n,ix him with the herd of common Lords—to our great delight, we find that the Erskine of . 1820 is the same Erskine that flourished (n 1783—(Ap p!astae).—h is gratifying—truly gratifying, to see the s:une brilliancy which attended his ascendance, also accompany his decline, and that his star sets in as great glory as it rose. Faults, it is true, niav he found, and have been found with the Noble and what public man is there who can save himself at all times from reproach ? but we should remember, that all these little alienations—these ebullitions oi anxious minds, are like lovers' quarrels, du ting w hick both of the pirties are equally dispiLed to reconcilia tion—(Applause).—But, Gentlemeu, I see the N Wks Lord speaking in a tone which does him indeed infi nite honour, and, Gentlemen, I am struck with the depressed state of the Press in this country, when it appears that the public Papers are afraid of putting forward the 'language which the Noble Lord--a Constitutional Judge of the kingdom—thought fit to pronounce. In the speech to which I have alluded, Lord Erskine has declared, that the grievances which the People now suffer, are not only widely extended, bat that even the discontent which they provoke is not at all proportioned to them. He further says— and, Gentlemen, you are to recollect that I am not now noticing the speculations of a young n.ait just starting into life, . but that I am quoting to you the grave and deliberate opinions of one; who, although he had attained a period of life at which .few of us can, indeed, hope to arrive, yet, I thank Goo, stilt retains all that vigour and fieshness ot. his faculties which have been usually thought consistent only with a state of youth. Ye., Gentlemen, this peat man tells us that all our gliev.inces and widely-estende4 sufferings admit but of one remedy-.-a rea l, su.stars dal.
