He was of °pit, of the King's Bench might t o do the inferior criminal d ut i e s might be perfori great deal of m or in busit Court, and which he thought might be if ispoiled as h e proposed ; for instance, a great deal of the biaol s i re „ which was brought into the Court of King's :Bench b} certiorari, much of the criminal business slid not originate with the Court or the Ge. veinnient, and was not important in its results. As l • to the subject, whether two Judges should be added to the Courts of Common Law, he thought that a distinct question altogether—(Hear, hear). As to the present system of Welsh Judicature, it was undoubt edly very defective, and be agreed with the observe iinns which his Hon. and Learned Friend had made! upon its kt was difficult to suppose that Gentlemen at the English Bar, who were in anything like emi• nent practice. would accept of the appointment of a Welsh Judge, the total income of which did not ex ceed.El,loo a-year. It appeared also from the evi dence of a Welsh Judge before the Committee, that a very small number of causes on each Circuit were t:ied in Wales. It would appear that many were t rie,! elsewhere and many compromised, and he could rot think that the best system of justice from which ram fled by compromise rather than trust to the just- ; hos of the decision. This system had been said to Fe ancient because it had been instituted by Henry' ,:: Eighth, but he did not think the Welsh would be :n any one that said so. He knew something , ~t the Welsh notions of antiquity, and as the reign of Ile:: - the Eighth was modern in English history, j,, Walos it was but of yesterday—(4 laugh). t:t.:4);.1 WOOD observed, that all the Attornies of the county which he had the honour to represent' Pie:knock), were in favour of the abolition of the Wci-li s) stem of judicature. Hu did not believe the 6,..izlernen of that county had yet canvassed the sub icy; witch; but he believed the prevalent opinion was colicui re -ce with that of the legal practitioners. Tie ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the Ho nourahte and Learned Member for knaresborough (Sir James Mackintosh) had anticipated many of his ohse: ',rations relative to this question, and in a great nie,isure relieved him from the duty which lie would' have had to perform. But he could not agree to the! plan of abolition, or of increasing the number of English Judges. • He allowed the present system of Welsh Judicature was defective, and ought to be amended; but he understood his Hon. Friend the Member for Caernarvon was to bring in a Bill to re medy those defects, and the House was not at pre sent in a condition to conic to a decision on thectiles on ; besides the opinions of two previous Committees sate in favour of amendment. and not of abolition. so steadily . dlsisprinoildeek who faithfully upheld that. without the practical ae sertion of which there was no hope for the country:— he meant the restoration of the people's rights, the establishment of a full and flee representation of the people in a Parliament of short duration. He eon eluded by proposing the following toast : " The steady. opposer of Tyranny and Oppreedon, and the constant advocate of Reform, our truly honest Representative, Sir Wands Burdett "—( Oven s applause). Sir FRANCIS BUIIDZTT stood forward amid the most enthusiastic applause.—the pleasure and satis faction which he always felt in meeting with his con stituents was greatly augmented by the recollection which the speech of the worthy elector called to mind, of the various times they had met togethet to cement that political connexion which had continued so long with undiminished regard on both sides, and he was happy to add, that on no occasion could be flatter himself with greater prospect of a permanency of that regard than at the present moment. Since the first moment of that victory, to which the worthy elector alluded, he had found himself, year after year, only rising in the confidence of his constituents. He I would not promise too Much ; but he did feel, that as he never entertained a doubt upon the justice and propriety of those principles, so did he think he might promise, so far as ally one might answer for the fu ture, that from these principles he should never swerve in his public conduct. They had met together year after year, sometimes of more, sometimes of less dif ficulty, hut never was there a time of greater political crisis than the present. When he reflected on the condition of the times, and contemplated the variety of topics which arose to his mind, be laboured under some embarrassment in endeavouring at the same time not to avoid such questions as ought not to be omitted, and not trespassing too much on the pate. ence of the company. The proceedings of the House of Commons must have made evident to all the peo ple of the United Kingdom the absolute necessity there was for a recurrence to those principles which the Reformers sought to establish, and to convince the world that liberty was but a shadow—an insub stantial nothing, if the House of Commons was usurped by unconstitutional influence, and not re stored to its destined function—that of being the or gan of the people for the controul of the Executive Government—(Applause.) It augured well in his mind—and it was with high satisfaction that he re flected on the circumstance—that there were present on this occasion so many whose assistance would be so important in promoting the great object; and he was happy to add that many others of equal character and ability would have been present but for unavoidable circumstances, particularly Mr. Lambton, kept away he was sorry tosayby domestic afflict ion,whose exertion in bringing forward the question of Reform led them to expect so much from the future exercise of his abi lities. Since the question had been brought forward by that Gentleman several propositions had been made, but the result sheered in every instance that the House was as adverse to the slightest Reform as they were to that which would be most effectual. Lord John Russell had brought forward two propositions for Reform. The first, lie would say, embraced the minimum quantity of Reform. The other was sup ported with great ability, such as to induce the coun try to entertain a hope of much benefit from she Par liameivary career of the Noble Lord. This last pro position was attended with greater success than any since the time that Mr. Pitt brought forward his mo tion on the same subject. It was now evident that ,Refovn was necessary to the safety of the country.— A new zra had now arrived; it was openly stated, eyed by the Ministers theniselves, that they were compelled to uphold an extravagant degree of ex penditure, for the purpose of supporting the influence of the Crown in the House of Commons—in other words, that which they called dorruption—(Applasis4 —This was the first time that it was unblushingly avowed that corruption was necessary in order to {carry on the Government of the country. If this be true, then all the eulogiums which they had heard on the Constitution were false, ridiculous, and ab surd. But how different were the opinions of our ancestors. The great Mr. Locke di ff ered so much ( from the Marquis of Londonderry, that he gave it l as his opinion, that to poison the fountain of IW, presentation was one of those acts which authorized the People in having recourse to the last appeal—ria! sistance to oppression—(Greist appkruse).—He remelts's, bered well, that when first he came into Parliament, if any Member hinted that another Member had' acted from other motives than those of duty, he was , immediately tailed to order, and no Minister was bold enough to affirm that Members of Parliament were corrupt enough to obey the voice of the Minis- I ter. The late Speaker played a sort of farce with the country; decency had not as yet been disregarded, and he appeared to be quite shocked at the practice of corruption in the House, though no man in the House probably was more intimately acquainted with the practice than himself. Corruption, indeed, was , received with apparent reluctance by some, but their repugnance soon yielded. The progress and effect of corruption was something like that described of Sin after her birth : - - --- :.ir. C. WILSON wished to assimilate the.jurisdittlons; and thc same time bore his testimony to the respectability of the Welsh Judges. 31r. W. W YNN thought it very desirable to have the juris 41ctions assimilated; at the same time he thought the present plat, vi open to objection that he recommended the Hen. Mover to withdraw it for the present. If the intended proposition of Right lion. Friend, the Attorney-General, did not meet his Alleyn's) views. it would be at his option to bring the sub ;.: forward again. Mr M T kYLOR did net hesitate to state it as his opi t.'ltt that, in the selection of Welsh Judges, the paramount can was patronage—(Hear, hear).—lle would go further, and say they were too generally political appointments. lie con s'..lcred so serious a question as the administration of justice ought :” be discussed in so thin a House; and he therefore should more, as an Amendment, that the further discussion should be puitp-tvul until that day fortnight. .A:!tr a few observations from Sir C. CoLit, Mr. Peet, and Mr. DCSAIAN, Mr. M. A. TAYLOR persisting IO his Motion for an a !: , burnment of the discussion, the gallery was cleared for a divi sitm ; hut it aryearing that only thirty-four Members Were pre t Alt, an adjournment of the House of course took plate. ANNIVERSARY DINNER DO CELEBRATE THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION. The Independent Electors of Westminster held their Fifteenth Anniversary Dinner, yesterday, at the Clown and Anchor Tavern, in commemoration of the ratriotic struggle which terminated in the election (,1 Sir FRANCIS BURnETT as their Representative in Parliament.— -Soon after six o'clock, Sir FRANCIS who annually officiates as Chairman, entered the rnom. The worthy Baronet was accompanied by Ili; Honourable Colleague Mr. llobbouse, Lord Nugent, Lord Ebrington, Dr. Lushington the Hon. 11. G. Bennet, i p. Sir R. Fergusson, M.P. Sir G.

Aidertnan Wood, )I.l'. Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P. the Hon. 11. Kinnaird, Alder man Waithman, and Mr. Peter Moore, M.P. The whole party was received with the most en thusiastic applause. Upwards of 300 persons sat down to an excellent dinner. As soon as the cloth was re moved, the CHAIRMAN gave the following toasts : The People, the only source of legitimate power."—Three -tea three. Tune—" Britons, strike home." " The King, and may he recollect his own declaration, that the Crown is held in trust for the benefit of the People."—Three tales three.—" Rule, Britannia." " The only Remedy for all the National Grievances, a full, fair, and free Representation of the People in the Commons, :1, ,u. of Parliament."—Three times three.—(Great applause.) Tent.-- , * Kick the rogues out." Mr. STURCU then presented himself to the Meeting. He said that he had been requested by his brother Stewards to propose a toast, for which he owned he was much obliged to them ) as the toast sets always great favourite of his; and often as it had been crank in that room, he was sure it never was drank retied with more enjusiasm than it would be on that °c c*.

A. Literary Meeting Bras the Taut place *here such a topic should be Introdneed i unless, Indeed, it was intended to turn the republic of letters into a tuo narehi l Nothing, indeed, could be more irrelevant than such a topic. And here let him - repeat to them the words of a great and a good man ; 1 min whom the Electors of Westminster wouid never forget ; be meant John Horne 'reoke-.(Greci applause), When there was much talk of monarchy and the mo' narcbical principle, he said 4 ‘ Monarchy we abhor, though Kingship we admit." The Constitution al England was not monarchical . . Monarchical prin ciples were the reverse of these recognized by the British Constitution. They made the Monarchy everything, "and the People nothing. To use the words of the Poet, monarchical principles indieidinds _ _aunts I. profteol4 7 l most brilliant --Why was it Mit *tire placed hi their present condition X—Beeadie of that miirielti *hide put its blight upon the ge tting and ind ustr y of man. He could not eccount fOr the superior powif exercised by the witted diet the virtuous part of the world, except on the ground that the people were deceived by those above them, believing them to be endowed with attrilautes which they really did not possess. The magical irtues of our Constitution wera much talked of and written about, particularly by ft** reigners. After reading De Lolme and Blackstone, w, chink it a pity that we do not feel Ourselves happy,: As to this Constitution, he would say of it what A Lord Mayor of Loudon, of 1780 7 —he meant no respect to Lord Mayors—said of quite a different thing. It wai the time of the riots, and in the coutst pf examination the Lord Mayor was asked by Lord Worth why he had not called out the poise comitatusf *My Ltird," . said the Mayor, r would have called him out; but, the deuce take the fellow, I did not ' know where he lived !"—(Mach laughisg).-- , Noas he (Mr. Hobhouse) really stood in a similar pte&eti ment, for he really did not know where to find th Constitution. No man was more sensible than he writ of the value qf the blessings which we ought te* enjoy. He had heard the Liberty of the Frei toasted— , 6 It is the air we breathe," Ste: That Might be so; but there was another air also in which .44 we might die"—aity on being put into an et. hausted receiver, would soon terminate our career'. He really thought that the Liberty of the Press, with Lord Sidmouth's Circular, was no great things: Oh! but you have a Trial by Jury! Well, but there was such a thing as a Special Jury—a picked Jury; and known, by the homely, but true expression of guinea weir: There were instances of Juries being pecked out of the Pitt Club. If it occurred once a Might take place again. In short, when he heard the words dg Trial by Jury," they carried no other association to his mind than the device and motto on the pannels of Lord Erskine's carriage, which, per haps, would become one of those few testimonies of the existence of such a thing ! if the People did not bestir themselves in time. But he would now eerie to another thing, that which showered perpetual blessings on the People without their ever percemag them, making them all blest if they could only believer that they were so; and, in the words of . the Poet, Too happy, if their happiness they knew." But this source of every comfort—this happy la. surance-office for happiness—that exquisitely _ lanced agent between the contending claims of the separate estates—their own dear, darling, English House of Commons—(Much laughter). He was afraid that the People did not understand all the benefits they enjoyed from the House of Commons; and he I lcould not blame them. Madame de Steel' asked, a Was it possible - fot any one td believe that a Member of the English House of Commons could :be induced by money to vote in obedience to the - Minister r And this question *as put in Hile. Pour years after, Lord Castlereagh was convicted of openly bargaining for seats in the House of Comm*. Here, then, was the true state of the country. When they talked of the Liberty of the Press, they MOO& bcred the Law of Libel; aui . when they talked of Trial by Jury, the people declared that they wins not pleased with Special Juries and packed Pasha- Meats. Of our glorious mid so moth talked of Con. stitution, he would say whit Harlecfniii said of Ira lequin's horse, Thus Harlequin extolled his holm, Good for the field, the road, thR want . ; Ong fault he had—a fault indeed _ . And what was that? — The horse isea dead! bad taught to realms undone. • " The enormous faith of many made for one I" If it was not the British Constitution, it was not Christianity—the humility, the self-denial s the pre ference of the good of others to our own ; if not the Christian religion were but little consistent with the monarchical principle. The Constitution allowed a King ; but the weight must be spread upon a base as I broad as the whole people, and capable of being or namental-and advantageous. But without the people no throne could exist. To hold the contrary opinion was the most likely way to bring about that of which the promoters of such an absurdity seemed to be most apprehensive. Sir Francis then adverted to the severe punishment of Mr. Hunt, and said that, in conse quence of his perseverance in bringing to light the abuses that existed in the jail at Ilchester, he had solid claims on the support of the country. Ministers had only elevated him in public estimation. Mr. Hunt deserved the consideration of the country, for he pre pared, as a substitute for tea or coffee, roasted wheat, which was at once a wholesome beverage, and well calculated to benefit the agricultural interest. Minis ters, in short, were blindly addicted to despotism ;1 they rashly 'proceeded in their extravagant career.— Our commercial interests were sacrificed to this mo narchical principle. Why was there no trade opened with South America—why no assistadce given to the Greeks—Why was Poland overlooked in the great poll deal arrangementwhy was Italy given up? There was no accounting,except on the monarchical principle. On the mere ground of commercial benefit we should have acted a contrary course. These were fatal errors, and could not be committed except by men whose ' minds were poisoned with the cursed monarchical) principles. The Electors of Westminster would al= ways have the satisfaction of recollecting that they .were the foremost to oppose the progress of the anti social and anticonstitutional principle. It was impos sible to say what degree of distress the country might bear, but one thing was certain, that it coact not long endure if its Government was conducted an the prin ciples by which it was now guided. The prosperity of the country could be obtained only through liberty. Our ancestors never could havesupposed that the country could ever fall to its present condi tion. lithe Gentlemen of England were content with * full Exchequer and empty pockets—if they would put up with a full Treasury and no rents, it was mar vellous if they did not suspect what became of the rents—(Applause and laughter).—lt was not in his. power to say whether or not the Country Gentlemen Would go without their rents, and the Church (Which' never, by the bye, had such an opportunity before of practising the Christian virtue of charity) would di without her tithes, but if the Clergy could be satis fied to preserve the Religion and lose the tithe—and the Country Gentlemen were content with merely the possession of their titl6 deeds, then, indeed, they might put up with the present course of affairs.— But it was impossible not to see that the system of Government was to them especially destructive. Pa triotism was now a virtue of easy practice—it posed no heavy task's, no risks, no chances of life and death, as it once did upon our ancestors. The most unpatriotic might now, without much difficulty, be-, come patriots. The causes of our distress were enor mous taxation and the change in the currency—high 'taxes and low prices, the result of bad legislation. Were certain ruin to any people. Never was there "a country possessing more energies, and never was tb an instance of energies being so moth crippledill ,contracted by bad government. The system could notgo on; no men could carry on the Administra tion of the country with advantage to the pee* without that one essential thing, Refotm. To that he came as his last, as it would ever be his first topic. ;It had been the burden of his song for many years. Time only 'strewed him the rectitude of his early views, and to these he would adhere to the last, being persuaded that they were best calculated to promote the libettt and happiness of his countty (440 fatal Lord EBRINGTON proposed the " health of Mr. Hobhouse." His Lotdship said, he had been one of a feeble but sincere body of Electors who opposed the 'return of Mr. Hobhouse at the contested election." He now repented of his error, and would assure hit . brother electors that he never would be guilty of the same fault again—Aiplaatse). lie dwelt on the ser vice which Meetings of this description bestowed on the cause of Reform, and exhorted the Electors not' to relat in their efforts, to promote the success of that great measure.
