Crosses where-tire King was used to be proclaimed ! (Loud laughter).—And yet these were folks of no small note—intelligent and highly-gifted individuals, they had spent their lives in the study of literature— their pursuit was improvement—nay, their habits 44 smelt o' the lamp"—their zeal was as unabated as their motives were pure—they would establish a Cu tical Board, conduct it for the whole and sole objects of pubic instruction, and by no means for any gain, pensiOn, emolument, or prospect whatever to them the said Sewell, Bothwell, &c. (Loud laughter and cheers). But their power would be short-lived, for there ex isted a Board infinitely above and controuling theirs, a tribunal before which they should ;touch in the end, the great tribunal of public opinion —(Hear, hear). — They werenow wearing ideal crowns, but their crowns would soon be turned to caps and bells ; they would be signs to mark them out for the scorn of the world. Long awl they live to wear these caps Ind bells ! and long may the people of Englandaaugh at them! Laugh at them they would, for they were worth nothing else ; and he was assured .that there *as no English Jury which would give a verdict against a defendant, when they saw that the prosecutorx were the avowed satellites of the Government—men whose business it was to take away the little liberty that was still left us—(Cheering).—Before quitting the subject, he could not help remarking a great change in the face of things within some years. In 1794, there was an AssociAtion formed for the purpose of putting down the Press, which was called " The Crown and Anchor Association." Now, how much were either we or the Crown and Anchor changed!—(Hear.)—The only Association now recognized at the Crown and Anchor, was one for preserving, not oppressing, the Liberty of the Press and of the People, and for - keeping all that remained to us of that which was once, and still will be, the glory and pride of the people of England— {Vie Hon. Measlier sat doom amidst the loudest cheers). Tune — 4, Old England, as &pelf be true." The Hutu CR A taxa N then congratulated the friends of Reform on the late Ministerial Member for the metropolitan county having been thrown out at the last Election, and concluded by proposing the health of—" Samuel Charles Whitbread, Esq. and the Re formers of Middlesex." Mr. WHITBREAD expressed his acknowledgments for the honour done him, and assured the company that he should never forget the solid marks of appro bation he had experienced from the Electors of % est minster on the trying occasion hdverted to by his Hon. Friend in the Chair. The Hon. Baronet had been among the foremost to 'come forward in his support, and to him he owed much more than he could express—(Appktese).--The principles with which he had set out in life he should never abandon; and he always would be found numbered among the friends 3f Reform--(App/ause). The next toast was— " The Constitution of Old England—not the Coostltution of Dungeon and GAgging thUs, of Standing Armies in Time of Peace—or of Constitutional Associations, who employed the People's money to persecute the People's Friends, and destroy the Liberty of the Press"—(4llpp/aux). Mr. TEILLWALL came forward. After the able ad dress of their worthy Representatives, and the notice taken by them of the situation in which we were placed by the Constitutional Association, a subject which formed so prominent a feature of the send ment just then given, he felt considerable difficulty in intruding himself on the attention of the Meeting; but knowing as he did the glorious uncertainty of the law, and conscious that intrigue was spread widely to prevent justice being done in political proceed inns, his age and habits taught him to fear that this would be the last opportunity he would have for addressing them, and therefore he could not let it slip—((;rug of !it is not the last time).—He did not despair, however, for could he despair when he saw that liberty should ultimately be gained? For himself he cared nothing: it was of little conse quence what befel an individual, if general prin ciples were not sacrificed—(Loud and long applause). Neither was he much daunted at the force winch was brought against him, notwithstanding he saw an as sociated parse arrayed against an almost purseless individual. Though the leaders of Armies and the members of Cabinets—Lords, Ladies, Bishops, and beneficed Clergymen, were employed to fight and pray against him—(flear)—though all these were opposed to him, yet would he triumph in the outset of the battle, and his enemies be defeated—(Cheers) —for defeated they would surely be if the Press was true to itself—if it recollected that it was not an in dividual that was attacked, but the Press itself— (Hear).—lle had no doubt of the result if the Press took the matter up as it ought—if, forgetting all little distinctions, it exerted itself, it would surely triumph, and its persecutors would then be criminals at the bar of their country (Hear, hear).—The Press had already had too much experience of prosecutions by the Crown ; but the prosecutors, by this Asso ciation, would deprive defendants of advantages which they enjoyed when prosecuted by the Attorney- General. This Association was, in fact, a conspiracy against the liberties of the country, which they would put down by a process worthy the Spanish Inquisi tion. He concluded by calling upon all parties to join their efforts together, in resistance to this unwar ranted attack upon the Liberties of the Press, and consequently of the People—(Loud cheers). Tune—" Liberty or Death:* Upon the health of Alderman Wow beinjpr l o posed, the company received it with loud acana: tious ; and the worthy Alderman returned thanks. He expressed a hope that the same spirit of union that was found to prevail among the Electors of Westminster, would be found to animate the Livery of London. He then adverted to'the part he had taken in the case of the Queen, and declared that his mo tives had been purely disinterested. He could now state, that from his having espoused the cause of that Illustrious Individual, who, without some friendly interposition, must have fallen a victim to persecu- Sian, he had been made the object of the most un • warrantable attack from the very highest quarters — (Shame, shame). Nothing, however, that his enemies could do was able to break down his spirit, and to the very last hour of his life he should boldly and fearlessly resist oppression, from whatever quarter it might proceed—(Applaus e). After commenting on the principles upon which the Constitutional Asso ciation was founded, he said he regretted exceedingly that any individual belonging to the Corporati on o r, London was connected with it, particularly one of the twenty-six Magistrates of the City, Among whom LONDON.

We find that their contents had been very inaccurately anticipated by these extracts ; but the length of our Parliamentary Report, on an extremely important subject, and other interesting domestic matter, leave us room only to notice, in the briefest manner, the omitted points. _ _ The principal Chiefs of Wallachia have not fol lowed the example of those of Moldavia, but pro nounced themselves in favour of YPSILANTI, and against the Porte. News from Brody, of the 14th of April, announce, that Au PACRA did positively, on the 10th of April; abjure Mahometanism, and embrace the Greek Reli- gion, adopting the name of CONSTANTINZ; and that he had consented to put himself under the orders of YPSILANTI, and had actually marched for Salonica. Besides YPSILANTI and THEODORE, a third Chief had made his appearance, called DEMETRIUS MA DZKONSKY. The army of YPSILANTI is stated, in various con curring accounts, to have increased from 3000 to 36,000 men. Volunteers, chiefly of the Greek na tion, are constantly joining him from all sides, and the number of Greek insurgents augments daily in all the Provinces :heated along the coasts of the Me diterranean. YPSILANTI has issued a Proclamation to the Boyars of Moldavia and Wallachia, in which be virtually disclaims any intention of revolutionizing these Pro vinces, but states, that an enterprize having been formed for the deliverance of Greece, a considerable number of Greeks, hitherto resident in these two Provinces, will take arms to return to the sacred soil of their country ; that the native Wallachians and Molduians have nothing to fear. frojn thus ; « but that, as the Greek troops must Pi! through Walla- COURT OF KING'S BENCII—(THIS Ay ) , chia, it is absolutely necessary to provide provisions and quarters for them on their route; for, besides The Court was the whole of this day e xce ,i vely this division (the one now under his orders) he will crowded, in consequence of the number of persons shortly pass through with the whole Greek army." who were to be brought up to receive judgment for The Turks had indeed advanced a force of 5,000 political libels. rue KING V.

'•' From Cochin China intelligence has arrived of the' death of the King Kttr-LoNo, and of the accession of his eldest son to the Throne.

The Inverness-shire Militia are to be embolied oq the 11th of July, for twenty-one days trainiug. We have also received to-day Papers direct from Madrid to the 10th of April. They are filled with details of various arrests of suspected persons through: out the Provinces, their numbers, names, &c. but they announce no new event of a general character. It is not without satisfaction that we observe that the Constitutionalists, whatever objection there may be tir their mode of acting, are everywhere the more numerous and prevailing party. Mails arrived this forenoon from Holland and Flanders, with Papers to the 22d instant. An article from Frankfort of the 16th May, later by one day than any previous accounts we have from that place, states that the Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTIIIA had quitted Laybach to return to Vienna. The Diet of Norway have, it appears, rejected the proposal of the Ktmc to defer the proposition relative to the abolition of the Order of Nobility in that king dom ; so that the change will probably have to take place in spite of all CHARLES JOHN'S apprehensions from the jealousy of his Illustrious Allies. It argues a good deal of independent common sense in these Mountaineers that they have not been deluded by CHARLES JOHN'S sophistry on the subject—for it was nothing less. The Holy Allies have done some wild enough things, to be sure ; but to expect that they would make a crusade into the icy mountains of Nor way, to restore an order of titled paupers is too much. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Duchess of KENT, went to Bushy, where their Royal Highnesses spent the day. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER had a numerous party to dinner. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has postponed, indefi nitely, the grand Fete, announced to take place at Devonshire House to-morrow evening ; in conse quence of it not being convenient for - his MAJESTY to be present. The Right lion. W. PoLt gave a grand Cabinet dinner yesterday, at his house in Saville-row. Mr. FLOWER, of Bedford-square, gave a splendid Ball and Supper on Tuesday evening, to upwards of 300 of the Nobility and Gentry. The whole of the magnificent suite of rooms were brilliantly illuminated on the occasion. The delighted company did not depart till a late hour on Wednesday morning.

The town of Zurich was thrown into the greatest distress on the 7th instant, by a deplorable event. A company, consisting of sixteen married and single Ladies, embarked on the Liamath to proceed to Dic tition, a neighbouring viUage, for the purpose of ad ministering comfort, aid contributing their mite to the subscription for the benefit of the sufferers in the late destructive fire, which consumed nearly the whole ♦illage. An imprudent young man; who joined the company, amused himself by making the boat roll from side to side, and terrified some of the Ladies so much, as to make them quit their positions and lay hold of one another. The consequence was, that the boat upset, and the whole company were immersed in the water, and only one of the whole was*aved. This lamentable event has covered the towa with mourning.

Bow-orarsr.—Tuesday evening a case of rather a novel descrir don, respecting the baiting of bears, came on before Sir Homy RaIULS. Timothy Arrow:with, a keeper of bears, was apprehended on Tuesday morning by John Taylor, constable of the Pariskei Harrow, for making a disturbance at that place. The chow stances are these :—A party of the Harrow School-beya bad subscribed together to have a bear-bait, and Arrowsmith, bl agreement, took down a bear with several dons, when a n umber of boys and various classes of persons assembled in a bite g Rozheath, and were in the act of baiting the bear, when Coin' nel CLITIMILOW, the Magistrate of that division, assisted in taking the prisoner, Arrowsmitb, into custody, and he was im mediately brought to the above Office. la his defence, be itnJ that he was hired by some persons, whom her did not Wow, t° go to Harrow with his bear and a few puppies (meanini btdl dogs) and for which he was to have X5l l tes. 6d.

He hoped, however, that this worthy Asso ciation, though pow apparently established in the City, would soon be removed to head-quarters— (Continued Cheers). Sir FRANCIS Bottosrr then proposed the health of Joseph Hume, Esq. with an encomiums on that Gen tleman's industry and indefatigable exertions in fa ♦our of retrenchment in the House of Commons. Mr. Huns returned thanks. In urging Parliament to seduce the publit burthens, he had done but his duty, regardleis. of whom it pleased or offended— l(Hear, hear).—The Constitutional Association he termed a Band of Conspirators ; but regretted that some men had been' induced to join the Association from a fear that the religion of the country was in danger. fie concluded by saying, that they should find him ready at his post, still contending for the rights of the People. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT next proposed " the health of the Honourable Donglas Yinnaird, and the Re formers of Scotland." Mr. ICINNAIRD, in returning thanks, said he should continue to the last a Radicarßeformer—(Applause). By this he meant to say, that while abuses remained to be thoroughly and.effectually eradicated, so long would he persevere iu avowing himself a Radical Reformer—(Applause).—To prove that the People of Scotland were, almost to a man, Radical Reformers, it would be only necessary to advert to the zeal they had so strenuously evinced in favour of Mr. Hume, at the time of his election—a zeal not displayed to wards some County Members in this country, who had spent thousands to get themselves returned. The presence of the Honourable Chairman had created a strong feeling in Ireland, in favour of Reform • and he was convinced, that if he made a tour in Scotland, he would find the People there equally ardent in the same cause—(Cheers). " The health of Peter Moore, Esq. and the Reformers of Coventry." Mr. Moons returned thanks. He was a friend to moderate measures in order to obtain Reform; but if these did not succeed, then they might set him down as an absolute Radical—(Cheers). The Honourable CHAIRMAN, in proposing "the ' health of Mr.Lambton," spoke in warm terms of the principles and talents of that Gentleman. He ob served, at the same time, that a hundred and fifty Members had been ready to vote for Mr. Lambton's motion on the night it was got rid of in so extraordi nary a manner.—The toast was drank with animated demonstrations of applause. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in proposing " the health of Major Torrens," could not help paying a high com pliment to the warm and generous feelings of the people of Ireland. At present we were separated by religions distinctions ; but he would assert that there was no land under Heaven where, if a man was cast upon its shores, he would meet with a more warm, more hearty, or more hospitable reception, than in that country—(Loud applause). He proposed " the health of Major Torrens and the Irish Reformers." Major TORRIENS returned thanks in a neat speech. He hoped soon to see the Catholics of Ireland go hand in band with the Reformers of England and Scotland, and make common cause together. The Catholics could exgect no relief from a corrupt Par liament. He wished they would not again petition that Parliament, and that they would no longer— " Hawk their wren s, as beggars do their swords"—(Applause). Tune--" Erb go Bragh."
