As soon as dinner was concluded, Lard HOLLAND pro posed the following toasts in bumpers: a The Eing"—" The Queen. and all the Royal Family." His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, who had previously been at a dinner of the Freemasons, in an ()thee apartment, was now :Innouniced. He was re ceived by the company standing, and took his place on the right of the Noble Chairman. Lord HOLLAND then addressed the company. He said he had now to propose to them that toast which not alone the fcrmirla of the Club, but the whole spirit and object of the Institution, had placed mare piominent in their consideration, he meant " The Memory of Mr. Foy," which was drank in affec tionate and reverential silence. The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave "The House of Brunswick, and may it never forget the principles which seated it on the Throne !" Lord HOLLAND said, that having drank the House, efßronswick collectively, he should next propose the With of that Illustrious Member of it, who, though engaged at another Meeting, had just honoured the for Club, in order to sacction, by his presence, those very principles which he had uniformly supported by .14 conduct. He proposed " The health of his Royal highness the Duke of Sussex," and, as this; was his "with many returns of the present day." The toast was received with attention and respect. His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned his thanks to the lighly-tespectable company for the distinguished ho war they had conferred upon him He stood in and of no secular temptation to make him anxious tobepresent in these times at such a Meeting. He Mt on public grounds, a duty to be present ; be lieving, as be did, that the salvation of the country depended on a Meeting of such high and acknow, edged characters, holding in veneration the princi ple and memory of-Mr. Fox—(Applause). It was on elective co-operation of the upper classes of society with the public spirit of the country that he relied, to extricate themselves from the difficulties of their resent situation. The most beneficial effects must e the consequence of the Nobility taking their pro ws station amongst the other orders of the com munity, convened at Public Meetings. He, for tse, did not consider such Meetings a farce!— (long continreed approbation).—He had opposed the istroduction of the gagging system, when it was de riro engrafted on the law of the land—and he would' um ask 41' introducers to point out any good effect e such an unconstitutional invasion, even to their Ern view:? He had to repeat his thanks to thivoin rimy, and his Noble niend who presided, for the ho mr conferred on him. Lord HOLLAND stated, that he was now about to lofere with a regulation of the Club, which, though altered the letter, it enforced, he was sure, the spirit. be rule was to give certain constitutional toasts be ore the health sof individuals were drank. He should dopt the other course, and in illustration of the spirit the rule, propose the health of a Noble Ft lend, 1 ho stood for years by the side of Mr. Fox during I most eventful period of his life, who had sup- 1 ted him in all his struggles for the liberties of ind, and in his resistance to all those inroads ich were made on the' Constitution of his country ; who, since hii death, had persevered with unw ed firmness in upholding the same principles. He posed "The Health of Earl they, the faithful .d able supporter of the principles of Mr. Fox." Farl GREY returned his sincere thanks to the corn ny for the distinguished honour they conferred on in, and to his Noble Friend fnr the kind but un-, ited manner in which the proposition was couched. had been hic high distinction to have possesssd the hxifidence of that great man, whose memory was so Sly dear to them all, to have co-operated with him far as his much humbler powers allowed in all e political exertions which marked a very im . nt part of Mr. Fox e s life, and to have unhappily 'led with flint in averting all those national evils hich Mr. Fox had predicted as the effect of the sys the Administration of the country were pursuing; it the most aggravated and bitter results of which e country began most unfortunately to feel when it had been deprived by death of that enlightened ltesman. Had his great mind been left to guide em amidst the perils of the present day, appalling those dangers were, their apprehensions for the tare would be considerably alleviated. But he reed with his Noble Friend, that if there was a pe of safety through the perilous ways before them, hope was to he realized in taking the principles Dr. Fox as their guide, and in their application ne to expect security. Lord HOLLAND next proposed " The Health of Duke of Norfolk, and may lie who ever sup ted the civil rights of his fellow-subjects be no ger debarred from the exercise of his own by an olerant law."—( Long and contimacd approbation). The Duke of Norteot.e returned thanks, and ob., red, that though circumstances kept him aloof from meal duties, he had from early life cherished the „."ciPles of Mr. Fox. roe Noble CHAIR:max next proposed " The Health ate of the oldest and most valued friends of Mr. 't and who rece n tly gave a proo f t h at t h ose prin .l4 would be called into pi actice by him whenever the occasion demanded it." He then me « The llealth of Earl Fitzwilliam, and the Subjects' right of Petition." Earl Frrzwir.LAm, in returning thanks, said, that he ever held it to be the unalterable right of the Peo ple to petition for a redress of grievances. In the exercise of that right he should ever protect them.— llis sincerity he was happy to have proved, when the duty required it, by evidence stronger than any decla ration whatever. General FERGUSON announced to the Noble Chair man, that his Grace the Duke of Leinster, who had presided at the Freemasons' dinner, was in the room, and hoped his Lordship could make room for him at his own table, though the Noble Duke seemed very happy where he was—(A laugh). His Grace, however,•was obliged to obey the call, when Lord HOLLAND, as he was proceeding to the table, observed, that he would not say of what coun try that man was who said he could not be in two places at once—like a Gird!—(A laugh). Lord HOLLAND said, that he saw near him a Noble Lord, a very old and intimate friend of Mr. Fox, who had continued through a long and political life to uphold his principles, and yet, strange to say, was not a Member of the Fox Club. He had, therefore, to propose a suspension of .the rules of the Society as to the admix ion of Members, and at once insert the name of Thomas Lord Erskine. The Noble Lord was admitted by acclamation. Being now a Mem ber, the Noble Chairman observed, that he had his health to propose, and when he mentioned the name of Erskine, who did not associate with it the Trial by Jury? Amidst the wreck of so many other Con stitutioual banners, the Trial by Jury still remained, and for the extension of that great privilege the country was mainly indebted to his Noble Friend. Ile had now reached an advanced age, with a mind as anxious and almost as active to uphold the rights and liberties of his country as in the earlier periods of his brilliant and patriotic life. What a great Roman Advocate had said of himself, they could. with equal justice, say of his Noble Friend—Defeadit tempuldicam adolescent, non deseruit tem.:. He gave the health of Lord Erskine and the Trial by Jury. Lord Easictsti said he felt most sincerely the va lue of the honour just conferred on him, both in ad mitting him in such a manner to be a Member of that Club, and of associating his health with that in. estimable right of the subject, the Trial by Jury. I: was a mighty triumph to effect the Liberty of the Press, that only now remaining popular barrier, from the thraldom to which the usage of the Courts of Law had kept it, and place it under the protection of the Jury. But who effected it ?—he who alone possessed from his great talents and high station in the country, the power to effect it—Mr. Fox. Hew then did he succeed ? for Parliament was then esta blished as it was now, and equally indisposed to at tend to the wishes of the people. He effected that great and salutary improvement, by taking advan tage of the public feeling excited at the time, by giving to it a tone and direction, and by enforcing its claims on the acknowledgment of Parliament. He believed the public spirit of the country was now more awakened than at any former peri6d ; that the principles of that venerated statesman were more universally influential ; and that supported by the efforts of those he saw around him, that spirit must ' again he triumphant—(Approbat ion). . His Noble Friend had justly said, that he (Lord Erskine) was npw an old man ; he was so, yet he felt, something viithin him that told him, he should live to see the triumph of those principles in England and in other countries. He might be called a superstitious man ; if he seas one, it was the first impression of his mind, and he could not change it; but he believed that the affairs of the world were under the superintendence of PROVIDENCE: and that that progression of im provement which it ordained, it was worse than va nity in Governments to attempt to oppose. The con federacy of despots was now proceeding in that very course which this country pursued towards the free States of America. Those very measures which were adopted to enslave them ensured their emancipation. Thus will it be with the spirit of despotic aggression now let loose on the Continent, and which, he be lieved, the British Government were misguided enough to countenance ; fir had they not treated the Neapolitan Minister as M. Chauvelin was formerly treated ? But let them not deceive themselves—it will not come to good. He felt within himself that such an unhallowed purpose, and he prayed GOD it may he so, must end in the ruin and discomfiture of its authors—(Applawse). The following toasts were then drank : " The !tights of the People."—" May the example of one Revolution prevent the neemity of another."—" 'v ie Cortes of Spin and Portugal, and the Parliament of Naples. Lord HOLLAND remarked to the Vice-President, that they had friends nearer home, who demanded their recollection. He should therefore propose— .. The rlealth of the Duke of ',chaster, and the Whigs of Ireland." The Duke of LetnsrEn, in returning thanks, ob served, tEat he never had the proud distinction of having lived in intercourse with Mr. Fox. When very young he had seen him once, but from the first consideration he had given political subjects, he had revered the principles of that distinguished man.— Would to GOD he were now existimg to rescue the country ! His principles he trusted to see yet brought into operation, and the cause of Reform succeed. " The Xoble Houses of Rumen and Cavendish, and may they ever bt united in deftide of the liberties of their country." The Duke of St/3sta proposed the health of the l Noble Chairman, the inhelitor of all those private virtues which so eminently distinguished the charac ter of his illustrious Uncle, as well as the depository" of his enlightened solicitude for the happiness of Mankind, and the preservation of the liberties of his own country—(Loud applause). • Lord HOLLAND briefly returned thanks, and ob served, that to the solicitude of that venerated rela tion he owed the fist attachment to those principles which now constituted his greatest happiness. He it was who strictly directed his mind to those objects which became a public man, animated with a desire ' to serve his country. The Noble CHAIUMAN next proposed— " The Health of the Marquis of Tavistock, and the Inde pendent Freeholders of Bedford." The Marquis of TA.VISTOCK thanked the company, and regretted that, like his friend the Duke of Lein-1 ster, he had not had the gratification of knowing ; Mr. Fox. lie, honver, had the happiness of the friendship of the Noble Chairman, who inherited all his public and private virtues. Uis love of peace. rand freedom, his attachment to the rights of the People, and his hatred of oppression—(Applause).—, He also had the good f o r tune o f bei ng i nstruc ted i n his political-life by a father who had, during the life of Mr. Fox, co-operated with him' in die glorious struggles he had made for the liberties of mankind. The next toasts were— " The Fart of Rosslyn and the Whigs of Scotland." " Lord Milton and the Independent Fretholders of the County of York." " Mr. Larnbton and the Independent Freeholders of the County of Durham." " Mr. Hollywood arid. the Independent Freeholders of the County of Kent." " Mr. Denison and the independent Freeholders of Surrey." " Mr. Ilyng and Mr. Whitbread, and the Independent Free holders of Middlesex." The Noble CHAIRMAN said, he had next to propose a toast, in support of which much h:td been written and stated, and for the success of which many were most anxious, but for the speedy realization of which, within the last 24 hours, there were SlO additional reasons, he meant— " fair, a full, and free Representation of the People."— (Cmtinued awe/ma/on.) The last and characteristic toast o£ the Club next followed The caese of Liberty all over the World. The company shortly after retired. MINORITY OD WED A.

Her Majesty the QUEEN continues in excellent spi rits, and is not in the least dismayed by the debates and decision in the House of Commons, on Friday uight. Her MAJESTY feets perfectly satisfied, that ul timately she will be put in possession of all her rights and dignities.--The following were among the visi tors at Brandenburgh House yesterday : Earl Grey, Mr. Lambten, Lady Louisa Latubton, Lord John Russell, Rey. L. Berguir, Sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Glover, and Dlr. Williams. The Rev. Mr. FELLONVES performed Divine Service yesterday before her MAJESTY. Thursday evening, at six o'clock, the Warwick De putation, who returned from Brandenburgh House, after having presented the Address . to her MAJESTY, and who had been so graciously received, and after wards honoured with a private audience, were met at Leamington by some hundreds of their Warwick friends, who had provided a most superbly decorated barouche, drawn by about two dozen stout young men, in which the four Gentlemen were placed, at the Royal Hotel, and from which the Rev. A nrnun WADE addressed the assembled multitude, in a neat and appropriate speech, and w4s greeted with enthu siastic cheers. The procession then set off for War wick, preceded by an excellent band of music, with flags, bearing various inscliptions; carried by genteel persons belonging to the borough. On their ape proach to the borough, the effect was extremely grand, from the light of some hundreds of flambeaux placed on the superb bridge at the entrance of the town. They were now drawn through all the prin cipal streets, whilst the windows were thronged with Ladies, and persons of the most respectable classes tifj society, and hailed with enthusiastic shouts of ape plause, and vociferations of " GOD save the Queen r " Long live the Queen!" &c. Some hogsheads of fine ale and brown stout were distributed gratis, at the Swan Hotel, and the whole night was spent. itrl great conviviality and gold humour throughout alit whole town. CORK COUNTY MEETING. 1 Tuesday, a Meeting was held at - Cork, to address his MAJESTY. Long before the hour, the County Court House was filled, and all the avenues to it.— Lord KINGSTON, with difficulty, succeeded in getting in ; and the Brume of CORK got to his place over Mt /wads of those in his way. Lord BANTRY, at length, also got to the Chair, and proposed the Address,, seconded by Lord Dos ER A n.r. In answer to charges that the Addresses were got up by order of Government, Lord BANTRY strenuously denied the fact. Mr.STAWEL then said, they could not refuse to make an addition, expressive of their disapprobation of Mi. nisterial measures. After much clamour and dispute, the FIIERIFF de clared the original Address carried, but refused to take a division or a chew Of hands, and left the Chair amidst cries of .‘ Shame, shame !" Mr. BEAMISII was now placed in the Chair, and Mr. SzAwst. proposed a spirited Counter-Address highly loyal, but attributing all the evil suffered, to the conduct of Ministers, and praying that his Ma. jesty in his wisdom, would remove them from his Councils; because, the burdens which weigh down a suffering People continue undiminished, while dm abuses, though acknowledged, continue unredressed, The Address was voted unanimously, and its pre sentation confided to the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, and IL %V. I3ectree, Esq. A Vote of Censure was passed on the High Sheriff, and another of Approbation on Mr. DE11511311. COURT OF KING'S BENCIL-THIS DAY. The Court was crowded at a very early hour, in consequence of the two great causes fixed for this day, namely, t'..e ATTORNEY-GEgERAL's motion that judg ment be pronounced upon Major Cartwright, Messrs. IVooller, Edmonds, Maddocks, &c. and a case of vital importance to the Liberty of the Press, that of the King against Clement, which is to argue the right of the Court to fine, in cases of the publication of proceedings pending in a Court of Justice, contrary to the order of the Court. Mr. Clement is the Pro prietor of the Observer, and published the trials of Thistletvood and his accomplices before the whole were closed, contrary to the order of the Court ; the consequence was, that Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, who presided at the Special Commission at the Old Bailey, fined Mr. Clement £5OO ; the latter resisted the payment of the fine, and the case was appointed for hearing this day. As soon as the ArronNer-GEustam. took his seat, he moved the Court for judgment against Major Cartwright, Wooller, and others. Mr. DEN MAN said, that he was for the defendants, and had only this moment had copies of affidavits for the prosecution put into his hands. After some conversation in Court upon the subject of delay, the motion for judgment was put off until Wednesday next. THE KING V. CLEMENT. This cause Was next entered on, and the Court ul timately and unanimously refused the Rule Nisi, obtained by Mr. Clement on a former day. By an official Return made to the Treasury from the Stamp-Office, it appears that there were used last year, by all the Newspapers published in England, 24,8'20,307 Stamps ; of which number The Observer (although only a Weekly Journal), used no less than 913,000—being nearly a twenty-seventh part of the Stamps consumed by all the Newspaper Press of Eng land, which consists, in London, of 15 Daily, seven published three days in the week, 35 Weekly, besides 168 Country Papers. Thursday his Excellency the Duke DE CAZES, ac companied by several scientific Gentlemen, visited ' the Model-room of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, for the purpose of witnessing Mr. BAR.. LOW'S experiments on magnetism, and the local at eraction of vessels. It is singular that the correction of the latter important error in navigation, which has I hitherto resisted the most refined mathematical in vestigations, has at length been effected by the appli cation of a small surface of iron near the binnacle. We hope that this method, which is as simple as its object is important, will not be suffered by our Ad miralty and Navy Boards to find its first application in a country foreign to that in which it originated. Tuesday se'nnight, at the Grantham Sessions, Mr. ROBERT LITCHFIELD, and nine other inhabitants of the town, charged with riotous conduct, on the night of the late illumination in honour of her MaJEsTr, were fined Is. each, and discharged from their bail. Wednesday sennig,ht, Mrs. Catherine Osborne, of Church -street, St. Michan's, Dublin,.w•as murdered by her own husband, Matthew Osborne, house -carpenter, who absconded, but has since been taken into custody. An Irishman of the name of Henry M'Curey, who had gone to visit one of his countrymen residing in Gatehouse of Fleet, in Galloway, on the morning of Old New Year's Day, fell from the stairs of - his friend's house, while about to return home, and was killed on the spot. A Qaack is travelling in the North, selling what he calls Dreaming Powders; the parties taking them, are to dream of what 4hey wish to be acquainted with. 1-lad he been about London, we should have imagined the whole population had been taking them, for never was there a Lottery in which so many par ticular or fancy numbers were bespoke at the Lot tery Offices; but this we are not surprised at, when we recollect there are Six £21,000 Prizes in the Scheme, mid that the Contractors give away Three Prizes of £2,000 on Valentine's Day.
