It is impoisble e ew ribe the enthusiasm with which this gallant Nobleman was received by his Regiment. No sooner had his carriage eis.. teitsi :he Barrack-yard, than he was saluted with the cheers elf th w h o k of the men, women, and children, who lined the pl.' lei ies of the Barr tck, and which continued until he *Beheld' it thet , t h , ' :wilding.

He then partook of so me refreshment, which the Officers hadprepared for him, and s t which they did ample justice to their feelings, by the manner 1:: which they drank his health. On his Lordship's departure, horses were taken from his carriage, which was drawn ugh the Barrack-yard, and along the road, amidst the toul-st cheers both of the Officers and men. His Lordship was affected by these lively demonstrations of attachment, it..an a Regiment in which be had served from the period i t was raised, and which has not only sustained the high c'oracter it obtained under his command. but has also acquired i.-;her glory from the services it performed in the Peninsula at Waterloo.

Goa give the King was then sung; and " The Duke of York and the Royal Family" having been toasted with three times three— The CHAIRMAN rose to give " The immortal mos mory of the late Right lion. William Pitt." This toast, he remarked, had already been proposed so often 'though many successive years, that for him to enlarge on it was as unnecessary as it would be pre sumptuous. He acknowledged himself to be one of those who were convinced that the principles of the. RiBht Hon. William Pitt had proved the salvation of his country. Unaided by his abilities, we never could have stemmed the torrent which threatened to over whelm the counzry thi ty years ago, nor could we have triumphed over the numerous difficulties by Which - chr Mr. Pitt had sa- 111.. we were at .rat time enveloped. .41r. Pitt. ,rued his country by hi, talents while he lived,. and by his principles when he was no more. He was aware that attempts were, constantly making to de preciate the merit of Mr. Pitt, and to represent every calamity to be the. necessary result of the principle, on which , he had acted. But he would ask %hat would have beets the, result, bad an opposite line of policy been preferred • He was satisfied, as he .was convinced'every man must be, who lOokedfairly on the history of the past, that much as we had still to contend with, we had much to exult . for. It was no torious that Mr. Pitt had never wished to enter into the late war, and bad only reluctantly done so, on the sound principles of ne:essity rind self-preservation. But being in it, he had thought it wisdom to perse vere with firmness and courage. The result was glo rious, but the danger being past, and the difficul ties overcome, our former perilous situation was hut too frequently forgotten, and but imperfect justice was dcne to the mei its of Mr. Pitt. He believed that the fame of that statesman would rise much higher , hereafter. If ever there was a man who had the in terest of his country at heart, it was Mr. Pitt; and if ever there was a man who fell in the cause of hi, country, it was Mr. Pitt—(Applause). Feeling as they did, whom he had then the honour to address, he was confident that they would feel it to be their duty to unite with him to keep alive the memery of that great man, and he had thetelore the fullest convic tion that they would think the toast which he had proposed—" The immortal memory of William Pitt." This toast was drank with three tithes three. 66 The Army and Navy of Great Britain," was given with three times three. Rule, Britannia was then sung ! To this succeeded the Glee of the King and the Church, u hich, as 'usual, was repeatedly in terrupted by the plaudits of the company. The CHAIRMAN then ro,e to propose the health of his Majesty's Ministers. In giving this toast he had only to refer the company to the history of the period during which they had administered , the affairs of the country. A more arduous and a more brilliant period was not to be found in our annals. They had red us through a most tempestuous war to a glorious peace. It was true that we had not as yet recovered from the exertions demanded during the protracted contest; but *if we continued to 'confide in them in whom we had so long rdposed' our confidence—if we were, in fact, true to ourselves, and were not mis led by factious declamations or idle theories, he was sanguine- enough to hope, that at no distant period we should recover, and gain the reward of all the sa crifices we have made in the cause of the best and happiest Government which had ever been devised, and under which, he believed, more securityi com- - fort, and liberty were to be enjoyed than bad ever fallen to the lot of any other country. ' • of his M. 's Ministers" having In the STAR of yecteiday we gave ample details tite interruption of our trade with China, in con ,Npence of an affray between the crew of the TOPAZE ...d some Chinese, at Linten. Were the quarrel with a Nation or a Government that could either be com :lied to respect us by the display of our force, or :.,I.iced to trade with us by the sense of reciprocal neirrts, we should entertain little fear of a reconci ;...;ion; but the fact is, that they allow us to trade % ,- itit them by sufferance—that they look upon them selves as independent of our tornmerce—and that if they give Iv; tea for our manufactures or our metals, that we are to have the humility to consider them ur masters, and the gratitude to regard them as our beitiactms. Against such prejudices it is useless to conte:.d, and all we can do is to reconcile them to .lerests. As soon as the unfortunate affray of the 23d of December was made known, it is said, an Edict was i:Kted, requiring the immediate departure from Macao ( f all Briti,h subjects. Several other letters or Edicts - ...2re also issued Ly the Vicera.y of Canton, full of re ittitions of the argument that the English RICHARD !mN's ship of war (as the TOPAZE is styled), having been employed to convoy the trade, ought to he alto gether on the same footing as the Company's ships, and that therefore the affair should not he regarded between the two Gorei nrnents, but should be left to the management of the Hong merchants. An offer JS made to collect the Chinese present at the affray, ~1 give the English an opportunity of selecting Case by whom any of them were wounded ; and, on the other hand, it was required that one of the British r:TCW shall he given up to be tried and punished, on the ground that it is a general rule, in and out of China that " he who kills a man shall forfeit his life." This was the general substance of the answers to the zpinitations of " the English Chief and his Col. 1-1:,, , ne5." The last of these Edicts, dated the 26th ai January, concludes thus: " I now hereby order the Hong merchants to enjoin my or. d r, on the said Chief and his colleagues, and say, since the fo :tl;Terb in the skid ship of war of the said nation, within our 7r!•nry, caused the death of natives, the murderer or murderers ''!.) lulled the people is or are in the said ship of war, and, ac to the laws of the Celestial Empire, it is incumbent to forward the parties, try, judge, a nd punish them, at the Atte where the crimes were committed.

'Much' of what he might have said had been anticipated by their Hon. and worthy Chairman, and by the Lord Chancellor. But he'would contend that, to judge of the merits of Mr. Pitt, they ought to go back to the tittle inwhich he lived, and then to go forward to • trace the *tilt of his system, on those who were to folloi the pie sent generation, to understand how much they oweo to that great man. It was true the daver Of-theval was now at an end, but other dangers, perhaps still more formidable than those which presented thefts. selves with an enemy in front, remained to be met. He alluded to the insidious, undermining, liberal at tacks (as they were called) upon every' part • of our institutions. He especially set forth the importance of making an exertion to put down these, and with out such exertions, he would say it there, 'and he would say it before the whole world, the country was not safe—( Applause). Lord Viscount SIDSIOEITH proposed "the health of the Chait man, wit h three times three ."-- The toast Was drank with loud acclainations. The CHAIRMAN; in returning . thanks, again ex pressed his admiration of the principles of Mr. Pitt; and held the honour he had just received to be pecu liarly enhanced, coming, as it did, from the friends and admirers of M G Pitt. The Pi otestant Ascendancy" was drank with three times three. The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to be allowed to give his favourite toast—" Prosperity and Perpetuity to the Pitt Club.". • The toast wasTeceiiied with shoats of approbation; after which the Unit CHANCELLeR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the other Members of the do. vetnment retired. " The immortal memory of King George the Third" was drank in silence. Mr. Actinism begged to give a toast. He called upon the Meeting to drink the health of an individual who was most firmly attached to the principles' of Mr Pitt. and who had constantly attended the meet ings of the Club, when his residence in town would permit. He had battled in the cal.:e in his own county, and had never flinched, never shirked the principles which he had once avowed. He begged to give, in his individual capacity, their worthy Chairman. " Mr. Cartwright," time Member for North ampton. This toast was drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN was so little prepared for the insi• dious attack just made on him, that he was unpre pared to reply--(4 laugh).—He begged to thank them, and to propose the health of the thunder of the Society, " Mr. Acheson."—The health of Mt. Ache son was drank with three times three. Mr. Aenzsos had not anticipated the returns which would be made by the Chairman. He declared himself largely repaid for any exertions which he had made towards the organization of the Pitt Club, by the notice which he had gained from persons of the best consideration and best principles in the country. He hoped the members of that Institution would ever me found ready to rally round the Throne, and that the flirout, in return, would always be ready to maintain - the rights of the People. The CHAIRMAN then gave 6 4 Lord Hopetoun, and the Pitt Club of Scotland. . • The toast having been drankAvith three times three, The EMI of GLg'sGOw returned thanks for the ho nour rendered to the.

Harry Ford and jack Damosi.—This battle eras fought at eight o'clock yesterday morning, in a field at Chowsley, near Ripley, altogether a fate scent for the enemy who would spoil sport as to place and time. It was a short battle, but of the most deterrnined obstinacy. The first round lasted fourteen minutes, and the combatants bit each other away several times at the in-gri, refusing to go down. It was give ;slid take without trying to defend, and at length, when th. seconds even were s:reandug with claret, Ford received a spas-nsclling round bit ou the left ear, which spoiled him for the tnomvnt, and floored him ;leanly. 2. The first round hid tamed the m:r, and science was much wanted for a guard in distress; Dawson received a clumsy hit, which divided the lip, and another on the breast whilst stag gering, which floored him. • 3 and 4. Both upon the piping order, and mischievous bitting wastput aside hy. distress. Both went e1,.w0 in wrestling. 5. This rdiand won Ford the fight rather miraculously, by breaking his adversary's left jaw. It lasted seven miliutes at hard fighting, and Dawson had decidedly the best of the first part of it, and ene of Fold's livelier:was kept in constant inward bleeding, and he had but a peep of daylight from the right eye. The lucky hit of Ford settled it, as Dawson could not be brought again to the scratch. It lasted id minute:. A ludicrous fight followed between two plough-boys for a crown, but they loved bacon better than blood, and the latter was not produced for tweaty-five minutes, when this fight was instsr.dy at an end.

Precisely at five o'clock, an eight-oared galley, containing eight picked water men, started from the centre arch of Vauxhall Bridge to row to the Red House at Battersea, against a Gentlematrolsporting celebrity, mounted on a fine blood hunter, who statted:ftom the Pimlico side of the bridge, crossed and took the Nine Elms-road. The race was won by the horse beating the boat one minute and a half. The tide was running strong up, and the Wind blew in the opposite direction, oth..rwise it is supposed the watermen would have been successful. The wager was for a considerable sum. The Gentlemen of the Funny Club were out, and the river was covered with boats. FEMALE P EDEST It I A NISM. Monday, the 20th instant, the annual running took place at Old Wives Leese, for prizes of ten pounds each, which were won by atherinc Rogers, of Al'olcl..sh, and Sal Bolding, in Faver sham.

Friday night last a bin, cont , :oing eight pipes of bottled port wine, in the cellars of the Westminster Wine Company, Pen man, gave way, and the whole was destroyed. It seems the vaults are built on the site of the old houses that stood between the corner of the Haymarket and what was formerly St. Alban's street, and it is supposed the bin was erected over a decayed sewer that had been but lightly tilled up, as the earth sank to the depth of Jour feet.
