Etridge, of the Royal Hotel, Marmaduke IVyriU, gm • M. P. for the City, was in the Chair ; amongst the Deotlemen present we observed, Lord 'Viscount Nor mashy, J: G. Gsmbton, Esq. M.P., Daniel Sykes. Esq. M.P., the Hon. T. Dundas, M. P., Colonel Cradock, 51,,P., T. S. Resteomhe l , Est, W. Maclean, Cromptea,. Esq., 0. Witham, Esq., Colonel Maclean, Martin Etapylton, Esq. Mr. Alderman Dunsley. and several others of distinction. After dinner, Non No&i; Dwaine was sung in grand style by Messrs. Brodell, Dixon, and Wheeler; when the-following tosses, &c. amongst others, succeeded:- - " The King ; and may he speedily dismiss his pre sent evil advisers."—" The Coastitution."—" The Memory of our deceased and much injured Queen." (this toast was drank in respectful silence.)—" The YorleiVhig Club, and its worthy President Sir George Bayley, Bart." A most excellent and patriotic letter from Sir George was read, regretting his inability to attend the meeting, he being on the Continent. " The City Members" being drank, Mr. Wvvitit. rose end returned thanks on behalf of himself and his worthy colleague, whose absence he regretted, which was occasioned by the scarlet fever prevailing among part of his family. Mr. W. said, that be considered the question of Parliamentary Reform. to comprehend in itself all other questions ; for where the people have no voice. no good can be effected. In alluding to the praiseworthy conduct of Mr. Hume. during the last Session, he said, that although be (Mr. H.) was unsuccessfulin every attempt to diminish the extravagant expenditure of the people's money, yet in a very short time, the Minister's made the very re trenchments, which, by their votes. they had declared unnecessary. What, he would ask, could we think of such a Parliament. but that it was rotten to the very core ? The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the health of " Mr. Lambten. member fur Durham, and an effectual Reform in Parliament," which was drunk with three times three. ' Mr. Lastnrox then &dressed the Nesting. if 'Crest length, in his usual strain of eloquence, and said he wished the example of the York Whig Clnb, would be follo.ved all over the kingdom, for, it was to such asso ciations that we are.to look for the promotion of the spirit of liberty. The York-Whig Club, had laid the Tory faction of the city at their feet. and bed placed in the House of Commons, two of as independent members, as any who sit in the Senate. Ile reprobated the Bill of Pains and Penalties. which cost the Queen her life, and the means that were taken when she was dead, to deprive the people of an opportu• nity of paying their respects to her remains • A veil might be thrown over these offences ; but there was a tribunal from which her perseeuto-s could net appeal, a jury which,eoad not be pecked—be meant public opinion. Tliere they hart been arraigned and eetidemned for a wanton violation of the Coo}ititution. The dismissal of the gallant General (Sir R. 1Vilson)1 upon depositions they dare not produce. be held as un constitutional and unjust. The insults offered to Sir Reload lie conceived to be not merely for his conduct on the 14th of August, i. e. preventing the deaths of Englishmen, but because he supported the Queen at all times. They ought to greet him a trial, upon the precedent of Lord O. Sackville, who was dismiss ed the army in 1759. but who sis months after was tried by a Court Martial. The Ministers, he knew. would shelter themselves under the plea of acting upon the King's prerogative; but be would tell them that pre ?Opting were given to the King. for the happiness. and not for the oppression of his people. He spoke of the pleasure be had in beholding the spirit of liberty triumphing In South America, and trusted it would also be siteetasfol in Spain and Portugal. as also in Greece. The late barbarities in Ireland he attributed to the condict of our Ministers towards that oppressed and smaemas people. Without Reform in Parliament, do liberty, be said, can be enjoyed in this country. and eider that impression he had . brought forward his bill, a bill, by the bye. to whicli he was sot at all bigotted. bat would stemma any other plan sub- Skied to him. if he aossidered - it an effectual ono.

In consequence of a difference between the Commit tee of Lloyd's and the boatmen at Deal, on account of remuneration for assistinp vessels in distress; the latter some days since drew their boats on shore, and took the rudders off.

CLOVICI.LY SUFTERIMS.—At a meeting of the CoD. mittee at. the Town-ltall, Plymouth, on Friday, the Treasurer reported the subscriptions received in peek to be 1091. 2s. dd. and the whole amount throtiglsotst the county nearly 2,5001. Thus by the charitable exertions of those who feel for others woe," a sum has been raised fully adequate not only to replace the whole of the property lost in boats and nets, but to allow annuities to the poor widows, and all the chil dren 'dependent on them for support, under certain stipulations. A correspondent from Sonthmolton, is speaking of the Cloven) . Subscription, says—it Ansongst the be nefactors to those unfortunate sufferers by the Into storm, to let one who has displayed a singular bright example remain unnoticed, would be a breath of duty. His just enlogium should he told, as potent tes timony, to those who know him ; and to those who do not, it may be said, ti Go thou Red do liheoise." It is in the private walks of last where sasefolsees is most apparent ; and we feel peculiar plesesee in re cording the following benefaction of Thema* Hogg, Eq.. of Appledore, to a poor widow who. bats fool kb child to maintain.
