PUBLIC DINNER Tp DR. CHALMERS. T a e O AT a Public Dinner was given to Dr. Cts A 'Arens, m Glasgow, on his resigning the Ministry of St. John's, : w h e n upwards of SOU Gentlemen of the first respecta bility, talents, and wealth, met at the Assembly-rooms M that city. More would have attended could accom modation have been : obtained. At five o'clock the corn anV.sat down to an elegant dinner , the Honourable the LORD Pitovosr in the Chair, and JAM RS Dwltic, Esq., Croupier. After the cloth was removed, the following loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the Chair : The .liing•—Duke of York.—Lord Alelville and the Navy.— lb e !musk Constitution, under which this nation has so long en joyed ro many blessings.—The Imperial Parliament. The Loan PROVOST rose, and spoke as follows : ::.When I was first called upon to have the honour to fill this Chair, I felt that it would be more consistent w i t h m y wishes, that it had been occupied by a Gen tleman of the same congregation over which the Rev. p cxt ur has presided. As it is, however, I have here only to give my testimony, in a private capacity, to the splendid talents and great worth of the distinguished individual who is the occasion of the Meeting, and, as Chief Magistrate of this City, I may also be permitted to express the public sense of the great advantages de -I;yed from his instructions as a Minister, as well as his esample as a man. I shall not expatiate on the great b e nefit received from his unrivalled pulpit eloquence and exertions employed in the noblest of causes. The present numerous and highly respectable meeting of the citizens of Glasgow shews how much we all join in expressing satisfaction at his presence amongst us en this occasion, and our warmest hopes for the success of his fondest expectations of unalloyed happiness among scenes endeared to him from the recollections of his , only youth.—His Lordship concluded an animated speech by proposing the health of the Rev. Gentleman, , with all the honours, which being drank accordingly, Dr. CHALMERS lose amidst excessive cheering, and with all his characteristic energy spoke nearly as follows: trdly never felt more at a loss how to acquit myself than I do at this moment after the . high marks of appro. baion and distingstishing honour that have been con ferred on me. I acknowledge that these look some thing like the expressions, when complimentary speech is followed by complimentary reply, but could I demon grate one-tenth part of what I • feel, and find ade quate language to express my feelings on this occa sion, you would find what I uttered really to overtop all compliment. All here have treated me with indul gence I could hardly have looked fur. Whatever differ ence there may be in the opinions with regard to my departure from this city, I -am evidently the voluntary mover in that business, and however strong the reasons may appear to myself, it is impossible to give them with altogether so full a conviction to the consciences of others. How Ought Ito feel all the graciousness and goodwill that is thus reflected back again,when he, who inflicted a shock upon all, finds the shock to have so little diminished the kindness of all—the friendship winch has remained unskaithed heaps coals of fire upon any head, and, in the view of such a process of action, I feel how math you have excelled me.— lhave been indeed left to struggle with all the delicacy of such a treatment, 'and I do feel that this assurance will give me comfort in the change of life, such as I deem essential to my continued existence and bsefulness in this world. It is not any congregation in the limits of Scotland, for which I would have parted with St. )ohn't: nothing but another profession; nothing ' short of an object 'so great, that my manner of lite must be totally changed by it, nothing in earth short of such an object, could have torn me away from my congregation in Glasgow. There is one topic • ihich I crave the attention of this numerous and respectable Assembly. Since I was first intro duced to the profit and luxury of fellowship here, I have only had occasional intercourse with the higher classes of society. I may almost say, that I have been takes from the one extremity of society to the other, when I become an object of attention to an Assembly so distinguished in rank, knowledge, and affluence.— ' ere is a definition which I have often heard, that ex plain; the true status of a Clergyman in society. He is a canna no rank, an 1 yet of every rank. One day he is welcOme and in high favour with the distinguished of the land, and another day he walks among, and mingles withahe society which inhabits the humb:estof its cottages. A Clergyman may be considered as A nondescript in heraldry, and most employed in the most healthful bodrpolitic. It is true his, direct business is loftier.— His lessons prepare for death. His Church is the school for immortality ; but, not to overlook his other func tions, he is an amphibious being, moving equally in the elements of the rich and the poor, and filling up, with the piety and peacefulness of his intercourse and com munion, that gap between them, which might else have lightened, with the flashes of their mutual hatred, dissensions and defiance ; stimulating goodness on the one hand and gratitude on the other, and thus contributing more than it is in the powqr of any other man to do to the peace and order of the human fa mily. I have ever had the highest iegard for the .high;minded Magistracy of Glasgow, and rare and oc casional as my intercourse with them has compitia tively been, it has ever been my pleasure to maintain it. I had somehow formed a preconception by which, as is frequent in such cases, I did grievous injustice; but still there is no doubt of the fact, that I had associated a stockjobbing palti loess with the management of the af fairs of a Borough. Now I :Irak to the sense of all pre sent, when I say how utterly at antipodes was all this with the whole municipal style and character of the Ma gistrates of Glasgow. From the moment of my getting in contact with theta, never was our intercourse without the feeling that I breathed in the atmosphere of high minded and honourable men. Theirs has indeed been a course as nobly fearless as enlightened and patriotic. "Sans peer, et sans reproche" is one of the olden mottoes of chi ...ally, the sentiment of which I have ever held in the highest esteem; and here, in busy play of the passions and interest of a Modern liorough, have I found the most striking eiremplification of it. The Reverend Doc tor concluded a speech, of which the above is but a feeble outline, by proposing as a toast, " The Magistrates and Town Council of Glasgow, with all the honours: After this toast had been drank, the LORD PROVOST rase and returned thanks. Mr. JAS. EWING rose to propose "the Congregation and Parish of St. John's''.--a toast immediately con netted with the health of his Reverend Friend's, and in which he felt the deepest interest. He eulogized, in she highest terms, the zeal and talents of Dr. Chalmers. Baillie PARIMS moused thanks on behalf of the Corpotation. He concluded with proposing "The Church of Scotland." Toe Rev. Mr. CL AON returned thanks on behalf of his Christian brethren, and expressed a hope that the situation left vacant by the worthy Dr. would be ably and speedily filled up, The next toasts were, ge The Ministers of Glasgow," which was acknowledged by the Rev. Mr. Sstyrit, of St George's. " The Members of the Council and Cha'pel' of St. John's," for which the Rev. Mr. SOMMERVILLE returned thanks. 44 Mr. MONTEITH, of Carstairs," who returned thanks for the honour done him, and'proposed as a toast, " The City of Glasgow and its Suburbs." The toast was followed by an appropriate song " l'he health of Joust MAXWELL, Esq. M.P." This Gentleman returned thanks in a neat speech, as did Mr. Hume PAUL for the next toast, " The Elders and Dea coos of St. John's." This toast having beeis drank with all the honours, lie concluded with proposing as a toast, " The University of St. Andrews." This toast having been drank with all the honours, Dr. CHALMERS said,—l cannot hear my name asso ciated as a new Professor with the University of St. An drew's, without bearing my warmest testimony to that profession to which I have so long been inclined. Not a word is necessary to press such a copipany as the pre sent rightly to appreciate the work of Christian instruc tion. If second in importarice to any, it must be to the office of him who is at my right hand (Dr. M'Gill), who deals in embryo with the Ministers of a future ge neration, and who is labouring to secure the future spiritual health of many petishes, by providing a wholesome spiritual aliment for generations yet un born. Ile can rejoice that he leaves a light behind him which shall shine when he is sleeping in the dust. It is his province to smooth the road to any young aspiring disciples, and to exclude that deadly and infidel well-spring, which has found its way into the sacred precincts, and poured an effusion of deleterious mixture into ,the very fountain heads of religion. I cannot sit down without one allusion. I must confess I am a little amused to hear, as I sometimes do, the venerable University, of which I am now a member, talked of as little better than a decayed gentlewoman,who had nothing but the high origin of her family to bear her up under the decline of her fortune; and as if, in fact, she had nothing to set her off, except grey ruins and venerable recollections like the said old Lady, who dis plays some venerable relic of her better days, some brocade for example, in which her great grandmother had appeared at Court, who has some obealete china and other vestiges of antique grandeur fully spread out upon her mantle-piece. Now we are not just in these circumstances, for within late years her students have increased threefold, and she has all the glories of her antiquity to boot. The Rev. Doctor concluded with proposing, with all the honours, " Dr. M.Gill, and the University of St. Andrews' youngest sister, the Univer sity of Glasgow." Professor M‘Gorr. returned thanks in an eloquent speech ; in which he paid a high compliment to John Knox, to whom Scotland, he said, still owed a monu ment—" Yes ! a monument for that gYeat, that useful, that calumniated man! to whom we owe everything valuable in our civil and religious rights, and all those glorious institutions which distinguish us among the nations : the effect which such a man may produce in such a situation cannot be at once wholly anticipated." The Rev. Doctor concluded by proposing as a toast, "The Sons of the Clergy," with all the honours. Harm MON milt, Esq. M.P. of Carstairs, proposed " The health of- the Lord Provost." The LORD Pnovorr, in reply, said he hoped he had always, and would always employ the best of his hum ble abilities in the conscientious discharge of the duties of the station lie had been honoured to fill. His Lord. ship then proposed as a tout, " The able and faithful Ministers of the Church of Scotland who are settled in England, with all the honours." Mr.. Invitto rose amidst much cheering. So soon AS I heard that my friend, the Rev. Doctor, who was to be honoured in a manner in which fcarcely any Scotch man, and certainly not any Clergyman had been ho noured before, I resolved to tarry among my friends an other week, having altered my arrangements for re turning to the scene and duties of my present situation. All the honour I had contemplated for myself in so doing,was merely that involved in being one at this meet ing ; to be a plebeian in this camp, appears to me to be equal honour as to be head, eye, and soul on occasions. On the part of that portion of the Church to which I belong, I have to express the sentiments of thanks which they derived from your favour. Their function, which I think more important than that of all, is certainly one to which more than ordinary and common Christian labours, zeal, and assiduity must be brought in aid; there maybe heraldic titles of a Church, but where I live we are but few in number, of which, whatever may be the cause, yet by reason thereof infidelity bath dealt more of her poison and of her adverse influences, and hath led more away. We are now come to this place to take farewell of him whom we love so dearly. His spirit and example are about to be removed to ano ther sphere, whet e they are to direct the paths of human learning to divine truth. Of his removal, there is this one advantage, that it will be now seen, whether that system, for strengthening and deepening Christianity in parishes is to stand by itself, or must fall to the ground, when bereft of him who lent his spirit and his mighty, energies to the execution of its purposes. The call of Paovinesee hath drawn him from companying and inspiring that band of brothers, upon whom now de volves the sacred duty of shewing themselves not less vigilant, not less laborious than they did, when he seemed to cast his spirit and his principles into each of their manifold exertions. It will be now seen, by the result, whether it be of Goo, or whether it be of man, for if, by collapse or fall, a failure should take place, then no man can say more for it. The Reverend Gen tleman concluded, by proposing as a toast, " The in terests and comforts of the Poor . " The next toast given from the Chair, was, " The Presbytery of Glasgow," with all the honours. Dr. Dawata returned thanks. The health: of the Rev.Dr..M‘Gtu. and Mr. EWING, the Croupier, were drank, and thanks returned by the parties. Dr. CHALMERS also returned thanks for the next toast, " The health of Mrs. CstaLatans and the Ladies of St. John's." The Loan PROVOST nest proposed as a toast— " Health to Professor Chess, and prosperity to the rising literature of America." The Paorasson returned thanks in -a very animated speech, in the course of whiCh be said—" Who that con templates the history of the United States, does not per ceive that my country is greatly indebted to Scotland for the habits, and opinions, and character of her citi zens, and for the genius of her institutions? Many of her early inhaSitants, indeed, were Scotchmen. But what is more, many of these, .eminent for their piety and their learning, taught in our seminaries, and im pressed their own character on their pupils. To men ! non but a single instance, the memory of Wither- _ spoon is embalmed in every American heart. The traveller pauses amidst the . shades of Prince-towns. College.. He retires into the church-yard. He "tan& at the foot of. the grave where Witherspoon sleeps by the side of Finlay, and Davies, and Edwards, and the other men of kindred spirit, who, in their day, presided and taught, in that College ; and while he thinks of his distinguished atidrand services, he blesses the land that gave him birth, and the University that trained him for so much usefulness. There is another fact that cannot be overlooked. Though 'much in the economy of most of the American Universities has been derived from the English, yet the greater part of the text-books in modern literature and science are the pro ductions of Scottish genius and Scottish erudition. Could I throw open to you this evening the chambers of our students, you would see them studying your philolo gists, your mathematicians, your historians, your rhe to-icians, your philosophers in the various departments of matter and of mind and of morals, your economists, your physicians, and your divines. I need not say that your poets hare familiarised to them the ro mantic scenery of this land of chivalrous deed;; and, together with other causes, have increased the thirst for_ drinking deep at the fountain of ancient song. But it is not to the venet able walls of your antique edi fices, nor to your castles that look down from your'cliffs, nor to the streams that roll through your wallies of death less renown, nor to your mountain torrents, nor to your charming lakes with all their poetic associations, nor to all the elevating and picturesque scenery of your High lands that we look with the liveliest emotion. There is a loftier and a more charming range of objects. It is to intellectual and moral qualities and cultivation, that we look with a profound respect and a livelier interest. I utter the sentiments of the great body of zealous and efficient friends of literature and science, from the Mississippi to the Kennebec, and from the Atlantic to Niagara. If I might be permitted to speak in their name, I would say, we hesitate not to aver (in delight-. ful accordance with what I have had the happiness, on this occasion, to hear so eloquently expressed) that the interests of science are the interests of religion ; that the walks of the one should ever be gladdened with the fragrance of the other ; and that the highest scientific elevation on which an immortal can stand, is that which enables him to survey the sacredness of his obligations and the grandeur of his destiny. Surely Christianity, in all its simplicity and loveliness, shrinks not from in vestigation; and nothing can be more manifest than that truth has nothing to fear, but much to hope for, from a mind that has long been disciplined in Bacon's phi losophy, and purified and enlightened by the spirit of Hot whose word is truth. Under these impressions, my Lord, the appointment at St. Andrew's has, beyond the Atlantic, been contemplated with much gratification, as boding well for the interests of learning and of man. Several other toasts were proposed and drank, when Dr. CHALMERS took his leave about eleven o'clock, and the company separated. , NAVAL lATELLIGENCE. DISTRIBUTION OP PRIZE-MONEY. The Alceste and Belle Porde, for a French brig of war, on the 27th inst. at No. 10, Lyon's Inn, Strand, and recalled them—The Harlequin, for Le Role, on the 19th inst. at No. 74, Fore -street, Plymouth-Dock, and recalled there. Captain Lord J. Towtansx° is appointed to the Ll'lltT frigate at Chatham, for foreign service; Lieutenant R. Crams' (son of R. B. Canna, Esq. of Western Cottage, Freshwater, Isle of Wight), also to that ship ; and Lieutenant J. W. Yount, to the Mature. The Arnizaars, convict depot, commanded by Lieutenant Hata, will sail from Portsmouth next week, with 300 convicts, to be em ployed in the Naval Works at Bermuda. Arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, the PHAETON frigate, Cap tain Homy E. P. STOOL; from Vera Cruz and the klavannah, having left the last named place on the 28th of September, with Dr. MAC. tar, a Gentleman who had been deputed by his Majesty's Govern meat to execute an important mission with-the existing Government of Mexico, which, we understand, he has most satisfactorily effected. Dr. Macßae landed at seven P.m. and set off for the Foreign Office. We learn by her that a French fleet of five sailor the line, two large raster, and eight large frigates, under the command of Admiral Beaman, was lying at Martinique and Guadeloupe. What object they have in view had not appeared; it is not asserted that they have any troops on board, but it is known that the garrisons of these two islands are very numerous. The THRACIAN was at the Ha vannah. The narrate left Jamaica so long ago as the 25th of June. She has brought dispatches from Government, and three millions of dollars, and a quantity of cochineal on merchants account. She brings accounts that piracy and slave-trading are still practised with impunity at the Havannab, and will continue to be so while Cuba remains in its present state. The Jamaica merchant. are all vio lently indignant against the proposed measure of emancipation, and West India property is depreciating every day. Should we (says our most respectable informant) have entered into a commircial treaty with the Mexican Government, and at the same time obtain possession of the island of Cuba, or even a favourable treaty with its inhabitants, the West India Islands will hardly be worth culti vating. The merchants, under this belief, are disposing of their property wherever they can find purchasers. The brig Bud, Asaterr, arrived at Boston from Port-au-Prince, was boarded on the outward passage, on the 9th of August, by a boat from the English cutter Rainbow, twenty-three days from Charleston for Turk's Island. Captain Assort gives the following particulars :—The Captain came in the boat and reported that they were famishing for want of water; that he had Colonel Low, of the British Army, Lady, and family( and several other passengers on board. He said it was really distressing to hear the complaint of the young children, and to witness the anxiety and distress of the mother and others relative to their situation. Two or three days before he saw me he thought he had a good supply of water, when to his astonishment he found that the rats had eaten through the casks, and that they were almost entirely empty. I supplied them with as much water and other necessaries as I could spare. A black boy who came in the boat' as he came upon deck, flew to the water-cask, exclaiming—" 0 masa! Oh Goa ! How hungry me be for water."—New York Paper.

Friday evening last that active Magistrate, Mutant) Foots:atm Witaon, Esq. made his appearance at the meeting, and took out of his pocket the Riot Act, which he was about to read, cautioning those about him to disperse within fifteen minutes after he had done so. The poor weavers said they would save him the trouble of reading the pro clamation, and accordingly they quietly and instantly dispersed. An unexpected visit was paid to the Club-house on the Steyne at Brighton, on Saturday evening, by a party of police officers, for the purpose of ascertaining if any persons were playing at hazard; but the Gentlemen (thirteen in number) being all o wise employed, the officers left the house. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, NV. 17. There were moderate arrivals of all kinds of grain last week, but a good quantity of flour. This morning there is again only a middling supply of wheat, barley, beans and peas, from Isles, Kent, and Suffolk, and abe quantity of oats front the northern posts is unusually small for this season of the year. Our millers took off all the samples of dry at w wheat, at Is. to its. per quarter advance on the prices of this day se'nnight ; the terms of old wheat ate also improved, and the trade of this article upon the whole is nista better than persons is general had expected. Barter does not its off freely, but maintains the prices of this day se'nnight. Good dry': beans are Is. per quarter higher. Grey peas are scarce, _and Is. • per quarter dearer. Boiling peas fully support last quotations. There is a fair demand for oats, and, having but few fresh in, this article obtains as. per quarter more than last Monday. Flour has a brisk sale at last quotations. •ONIIIALI Late WiZIL Wheat, English, qrs. 5,498 I Beans Barley - 4.00 I Peas - Malt - 4,555 1 Irish Oats - Oats - - 1,602 I English Flour, sacks Tenn ON BOARD SNIP.
