For himself he would always cherish such sentiments as those which now inspired the present company:— (Cheers.> The Marquis of LAICIDowN next came forward to ad dress the company. He wished to detain them for a few teem:lents, whilst be proposed a tnaat, which he was sure they wonhl receive with one feeling of %probation. He wished briefly to explain his motives in the first instance. Though no man had a higher respect than himself for the illustrious Spanish natiodl yet it was not front that re spect alone, but from the 'ysideration of the great cause in which they were engaged, that he end the compaity ought to proclaim to the world the feelings which they entertained towards them. For the independence of nations was that principle out of which had grown all that cOnlil develop% and exalt the human character, and io the violation of which were to be found those black spots in history, which defiled and debased it. It was oat of the violation of that principle that the method ized system, not of international law, but of internation a) tyranny, had arisen. And if such a system should . be permitted either by the will of Providence or the supineness of free nations, the consequence most be utter darkness and abject slavery.—(Cheers) But far was he from believing that inch a system could be long stifferedto existosithont meeting the must determined op position. He wished to offer one word upon the right • %attic!, a free nation had to choose their own mode of Go. *Penmen'. They were not assembled there to pronounce e't'her upon the merits or defects of the Spanish Condi ' Witte. But whatever it might be, it belonged to the ...nniards alone to alter or modi f y them .—( Load cheers.) Ho could readily conceive when he looked at the cir eillosentes of peril and danger out of which the Spanish Compitntion arose, why it was endsared to the Spaniards. . - It hod been pirehased by their blood, and by triumphs MASA would ever be mem. :able in the history of their eonntry. But it wasmnst of all endeared to them beam wicked attempt that was now made to subvert it.—(Hear, )t. ar.) Proud as we felt of onr own Constitution and our pen laws, yet perhaps, some defects might be found in them. Bnt if the Coretitntion of England was ten times more defective than it was, from the moment that he beard that foreigners acre preparing to invade the country for the purpose of changing or amending it, he Would oppose them even with his life till their insolence .viss defeated, and their foul pretensions withdrawn. — (Loud cheers.) Then why not allow the same principle to operate with other nations? Yet, looking at the feel ing which pervaded France, be could rerer believe that the meditated attack upon Spain was a national qnarrel. Ile could never have believed that the people of France would have suffered their representatives to go to ire- Coma, and take out a Heenan for national aggression.- 11. 1 roil I newer believe that they would ever send our any Lycargoses or Solons to thrust laws upon an unoffend ing people at the pdiut of the bayonet. He hoped that the atrocious attempt would fail, and should still confide in the success of the good cause which the Spanish peo ple avowed. Their's was a hard but glorious destiny. Jri the midst of difficulties they had to stand forward and tindicate their freedom, and they appealed to arms upon prineiplis that all men must admire. They had already come successful out of one eventful contest, and he hoped they would come mgt of the next no less gloriously tee tunphant.—(Clieers.) The Noble Marquess concluded by proposing, " The independence of nations, and may it ever be the desire, at it is the deity of neighbouring States, to respect it."—This toast was drunk with three times t Irree,sud with a degree of enthusiasm which it is difficult to express. • A song composed for the occasion to the air of " Scots tithe_ bee wi' Wallace bled," followed. The burden of the soog was, "Death or Liberty." The CHAIRMAN next gave " The ltealths of his Ex cellency the Doke de San Lorenzo, anti his Excellency glutei) Jabot, the Spanish Ambassador." Tlie Duke of SAN LouaNzo briefly acknowledged the • kegone he bad received, anti on aceount of his imperfect nowledge of the English language, referred to the Se cretary of Legation for a fuller expression of his sen timents. The SECRETARY of LRHATION then read from a paper a speech in Englisken the pin of the Noble Duke. It "stated that he felt more deeply than he could express to • wards the British people, for the noble sentiments which ;bey had evinced with respect to his country and him self, He solicited the indulgence of the company for the &crwfeet manner in which he should deliver himself, not only because his feelings were too strong fur expres • On, but because he had never b.•en accustomed to ad . dress a public assembly. But whatever disadvantage lie Might labour under in this resp-ct, lie could assure the company that the impression which ,their kindness ha•l made upon him should never be effaced from his h-art. Their conduct. had formed a decided contrast to that he had expri•Meed at the other side of the OiantW. He-seas uqwilling lo repeat the uumberlass inealts which had been offered to him in his diploma tic capacity during his late residence in Paris. But he might be allowed to dwell with more sincere pleasure upon the very different treatment which he had iinet••erith on reaching the British shores.—(Cheers.) Tide treatment lie had experienced from the Enelish peo ple was no less creditahle•to themst•lves than honourable to the individual who was the object of it.—(Cheers.) — Upon his landing at Dover, his arrival was hailed with loud acclainaloas ; and the feeling became still stronger *Tan hisleaching the metropolis. From the Nobility he bid experienced the most polite attention ; and here, in the midst of this brilliant epitome of England, he could ray, as the Minister of Spain, that the excellent English repie were the best friends of his country. Since then so powerful an interest ha•l been excited in favour of Snatn, he could only assure the company how deeply lie felt—how deeply every_ Spaniard must feel at their kindness.—(Cheers.) He had intended to offer a few words .W furtherance of the Spanish cause, but he Pit it quite unnecerraty, after the aloquent appeal which had I , EPH made to them by the Noble Marquis. The Spa niards in 1823 were ac:oated by the seine feelings that ' ranted their opposition to the French in MS. At that time they refused to rake a Kiag from Napoleon Bonne parte, anti they would not now take a Constitution from the legitimate successor of that illegitimate usurper.* (Cheers.) They had hearts well tilled with courage to I- combat their enemies—all they wanted was iron and - cold . ; iron to fight, and gold to defray the expenses of war. The destinies of Spain and Portugal were for ever united • the &dame was the modern Rubicon. The Nobleptike, in conclusion, proposed—" Prosperity to Great Britain." * . Songl." The tight little Island."

He was rejoiced to see on this oc casion, o:at not only were all the most respectable mercantile interests of the city collected, but there were also present persons of exalted rank and noble birth, and an illustrious person nearly related to the throne. It was gratifying to observe how harmoniously all these vier= sons agreed, end found that their interests and those of the civilized world were to be preserved by the union of their several powers. These different elaeses were here united to express those opinions on the principles of national liberty, by which they conceived their own were mainly supported. He thwight he did Lot arrogate too much for the profession of which he was a member when he said, that it was by means of the opportunity which commerce afforded for the promulgation of their doctrines, that chilisation and liberty had been spread over the earth. In the two countries which had been mentioned, the seeds of liberty had been first sown by the same means; and be trusted that it would continue to flourish, notwithstanding the opposition which was now made to it, and that In the end it would become still more great and glorious. Ile concluded by proposing as a toast. "'The extension of commerce and civilization to all ',l'd, of the globe," which was drank. Song—" Ye Gentlemen of England." The CHAIRMAN then gave —" The Cortes of -Spain and Portugal." Three times three, with loud and conti nued applause.—Tune, " itiego's Hymn."' Sir J. MACKINTOSH said it was very agreeable for him —and not a little fortunate for the Meeting, that the toast which he had to propose, was recommended by so much intrinsic importance, that few words were necessa ry from him in introducing it.—Had it been otherwise, he confessed be knew not What be could hare *tided with advantage to the generous reasoning and powerful elo quence of his Noble Friend. What he had imagined, the Noble Marquis had uttered, and he could desire no greater advantage than that his ideas should be clothed in his Noble Friend's laegnage. But a great part of all that nas necessary to be done on this occasion had been done in the very first address that was made to the Assembly that evening : The Noble Chairman, in &short but manly and energetic address, worthy of a man who bad fought the battles of his country in all parts of the world, had advocated the cause of liberty ire language becoming the descendant of William the Third. (Ap plause.) it was remarkable that the name of Bentinck hactappeared on the side of liberty in a fortnerage, when it was assailed by a Bourbon ;—but it was perfectly natural that the Noble Lord should act as he now did. It was not to be expected that he would call that revolu tion an act of usurpation which had established at the same time the family ,of the Noble Lord and the rights and liberties ef the country. The toastwhich he had to give. recommended the p etion of the peace of Eu rope. This was perfectly consistent with the principles which - brought them together. Their object was to express reprobation of au attempt to disturb that peace by acting on principles which struck directly at the independence of na tions. The two gallant and renowned nations, whose repro sentatives were th en present, were necessari ly united, even without the aid of treaties. One of these was our most an cient klly. When she had been threatened by France, she was succoured by us. end British valour had peeved the cra dle of her liberty. The Spanish nation was connected with this country by similar ties. It was the only monarchy which had twice, within a short period, excited universal interest front the danger to which she was exposed, from unprincipled aggressioss. In 1808 she had craved assist ance in her greatest need by her Deputies, who were seqt to this country. The appeal was not made in vale. The Bri tish nation dew to arms, and had the honour of participating In those combats which had saved the intlepeodenceofSpaio. A similar appeal was now made, for again her independence was menaced by violence, as unprincipled as that of which she had complained before, and already the appeal was an swered by the British Nation. The people had pronounced their judgment on the great impending contest. The voice of all parties, both in and out of Parliament, had declared in favour of Spain. The Government by its silence and forbearance, gave all the effect they could to the efforts of those who wished to preserve the peace of sarope and the independence of Actions. The judgmeat 'to which he had allude) was every where pronounced with a few suspicious exceptions in favour of Spaht nitre prioci-i pie on wide!' site was threatened with attack were aeted upon without opposition, there would not long remain any Law of Nations in the world. Independence wonid cease, and so, in fact, would nations; for, in his judg ment, a nation could not with propriety be said.to exist, which was not independent. He pointed out the hallo, reasoning urged by the French Minister in defence of the meditated war. One ground of complaint was, that the independence of Spain would have a tendency to diminish the sale of French Mules.—(A laugh.)—This was urged as a cause of war, though every one knew that Spain bad an undoubted right to prohibit, If she pleased, every article that could be furnished h France from coining Into her territory. Spain haddone nothing against the independence of other nations—she had not in vited the subjects of other states to rebel against their So vereigns nor had she in any case considered other Govern ment* to be less lawful than their own. There were, there fore, less grounds for making war on her, than the Allies had In 1793 (though it was not him to defend them) for making war against France. He considered that the partition of Poland had, in point of fact, led to the at tack now to be made on Spain. The principles con tended for by France, would lead to an interminable war. They would justify the Emperor of Russia, if be had the power, which thank God be had not, in overrunning America—they would also authorise him CO establish an "Wiley of Cossacks in London, and to demand that one affairs should be submitted to the united wisdom of 'Si beria and Kamtscheka.—(A laugh.) In June last, when the French King closed the Session of the Cham bers, he declared that nothing but the blackest malevo lence, wishing to rekindle the brands of discord and war, could have so misrepresented his intentions as to de scribe the sanitary cordon to have been established for any purpose but to guard against the progress of the yellow fever. It was now seen who were the parties that were anxious to rekindle the brands of war and dis- . cord, the baleful flame of which it was extremely possible might shortly extend through Europe. M. de Oleic*. briand had objected to the Spanish Constitution that it would enable that nation to form independent treaties with friendly states. It might enable her to form a friendly treaty with England, which perhaps was the power which M. de Chateattbriand had princiially in his eye. lle hoped it would not he forgotten by this country, by Spain, or by Europe, that if France considered it her interest to m .Ile Spain dependant, it had always been the policy of- England to sec that she was independent.— (Applause.) •Ile exulted as his hen. friend had done in the happy illustration furnished by that meeting of our political liberty,where men of all persuasions could meet without acrimony, where men of all ran krWere blended without confusion, and is here men of all parties mingled without involving a sacrifice of principle. He rose to give a toast favourable to the preservation of peace, but those Who heart km knew that wive was not to be preserved by mean soil) onisbion, but by active coura4e and wise fore sight He concluded. by giving as a toast, " The preser vation of the Peace of Lorope." The toast was drank with three times three. The Duke of Sussex, after an animated eulogy on the merits of their Noble Chairman, gave the" health of Lord W. Benthrek," with three throes three. The toast was drank with shouts of approbation. The Noble CHAIRMAN, as no words could do justice to his feelings, begged simply to re:urn Ills sincere thanks for the honour he itnd received. The next toast was. " The fluke of Wellington and the brave men, of whatever country, who fought for Spanish freedom on Spanish ground." Air—" Britons striae home." The lion.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MARCH 7. RIX V. CHARLIS TRUST. This was an information tiled by the ATTORYaT•Qa- NaRAL, charging the defendant alai vending a bias. phemous publicat►on, entitled Palmer'. Principle, of Nature. _ _ . The SOLICITOR-OZNERAL shortly stated the case to the Jury. By the evidence it appeared that the publication in question was sold by means of an inlet in • screen, through which the money was put, and immediately the work was delivered through an aperture by an invisible hand. The defendant appeared to be an illiterate youth of about ld years of age, rather smartly dressed ; he was at tended by a man, who suggested several questions by way of cross examination. Several pongee of the work were read by tbe Asso ciate containing very coarse and irreverent expressions applied to the Christian Religion and its protestors. The defendant being called on fur his defence, stated, that hlr. Prendergast was retained as his Counsel, who was not present.—He then read a short defence from a paper which was handed to him by die man who sat next him. It was pregnant with scurrilous epithets directed towards the two witnesses who had been celled to prove the publication, and denied•the fact of publication. The SOLICITORAIENERAL, in reply, observed that he could not help lamenting to 3.e the defendant surrounded by those, who were endeavouring to snake him the tool of their base and mischievous designs. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury immediately found the defendant guilty. • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, bliacu 7. JoN::s V. BRIGHAM. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Serjeantma stated, that tnis was an action of assault and imprisonment, brought hy the plaintiff, a sur geon, against the defendant, who was a Captain of an East India vessel, the Arab, and who had imprisoned him on his passage, and treated hint In a very improper winner. Disputes had arisen at the very commence ment of the voyage, but the assault and imprisonment of which the plaintiff complained did not take place until after the vessel had reached St. Helens. At that time the defendant's conduct became very violent, and he im prisoned the plaintiff in his cabin, and never suffered him to go on deck but for the purposes of nature. Ile had planed the plaintiff in his cabin, and strictly guarded him by placing a-sentry at his door. These assaults were justified, and the defendant affected on the record to say that be had been obliged to imprison the plaintiff in or der to secure peace on board, and prevent the crew from mutiny. He believed that no foundation could be shown to-exist file. spat a gement. It appeared by the evi dence, for the plaintiff, that the imprisoment continued till the vessel got into the channel. Mr. Serjeant Pew., for the defendant, maintained that the tuition had arisen in ingratitude. The peseengers N the ship had declined to continue their intercourse with the plaintiff, and had signed a requisition •to the captain to exclude him from the cabin table. The capt. sent him a letter, containing this requisition, and de siring him to consider himself excluded, at the same time saying that his dint4r sbonld be sent him from the cabin mess, and that he should himself select the dishes. To this letter the p!aintiff bad replied in a Eyle of un bearable insolence. ••Witnesses were called to prove the violent conduct of the plaintiff; and a strong manifestation of opinion hav ing been observed among the jury, the evidence was stopped, and the plaintiff nonsuited. POLICE. GUILDHALL.—Jos. Partridge, an elderly man, who formerly carried on an exten dye business as a manatee hirer of plate, and John Partridge his son, foreman in the employ of Mr. Knight, workicg silversmith, West mottdand-buildings, Aldersgate-street, underwent a final examination yesterday, before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Ald.

Mr. Knight, it appeared, was the successor in business of the toothy!' of the elder Partridge,and John,lier grand , son, bad remained in the employ of Mr. Knight from that .10. the present, a period of several years, and was the con• fidentlul servant, having free access to all parts of the pre 'Mies. During the last fiteeen months, sill( lea of value had continually been missing, but not t he slightest suspi cion had attached go the prisoner, John. In the course of the last week, as 11G. Knight was passing along Bar bican, he observed in Mr. Upsal's shop window, pawn ' broker, two corals, which lie knew to be his odn manu facture, and Mr. Upsal not being a customer, he went in and inquired from %%hum he had purchased the artieles.Mr. Upset very readily gave all the information in his power, and from him Mr. Knight learnt that the two corals he bad seen, together with numerous other articles of vari ous descriptions, of them his property, and amounting in actual value to upwards of 401. had been pledged there in the course of the last fifteen months by the elder pri soner, in his own name. Other property belonging- to Mr. Knight, to a consifierable amount, bad been dis covered to have been pigged at different pawnbroke rs, The prisoners were oommittect to a owitate for trial. Bow STRBILT.—The Magistrates, Sir R. Birnie, Mr. Miushull, and Mr. Halls, were occupied from seveno'clock on Thursday night until half-p tat one yesterday morning in the examination of no less than 36 persons, who had been seized by the Police at two notorious Gaming-houses inithe coarse of the afternoon. On Thursday afternoon, information was received pri ►ately, that at two houses, namely, No. 33, Pall• Mall, ! and Nd. 15, Bury Street, St. James"s, the games bf Rou lette and Rouge et Noir were then in fall play. Messrs. Minshull and Halls 'immediately collected together all the disposable force of the OHL e, consisting of six par ties of the Patrol, under the guidance of Perry, Nicholls, Litubrick, Ilerring, Morris, and 'loud, the conductors. Large sledge hammers, and other necessary implements, were provided, anti the Officers were separated into two divisions, Mr. Minshull accompanying one, anti Mr. !falls the miter. They .separated into parties of two or Caw, and proceeded 1;y different wives ; end it was so arranged that each party should arrive a: a given spot near the point of attack at the same moment. Mr. Atioshull's party arrived at the house, No. 33, Poll Mall, soon after kw o'clock, anti admission was tou.ilt• demanded, hut no answer being re•urped, the Officers proceeded with their hammers, to demolish the external door, atlli this being accomplished, they found two others, one on the first lending...pine, wad the other on the rat flour, both of which they served in the same manner, knocking out a ponuel, so as to suable Drummond, a very active little Patrol, to creep throogh and remove die massive bars by which they were fastened inside. They found a Rouge et Noir table on one floor, and the appa. rotus of the gime of Roulette op the other. The usual scene of confu•i.on followed. Twelve persons were cap. lured here, and the whole apparatus of play broken np and brought away. Some money, but to no large amount, was also seized. Mr. IlaIlv; meanwhile, was no leis active at 15, Bury Street, where an en: • was effected in nearly a similar manner as at Pall Mall, and 24 persons were taken irvn eusto.ly, after an arduous chigoe of some of them along the roof. of a whole line 4110114(.3.

It was a common gaming Louie.— lie Lad played and lost money there, and seen others d so. The games were, rouge et ■oir and roulette. He played there on IVednesday night, and was in the holm? that (Thursday). The witness deposed also, that the house, No. 15, Bury Street, was a common gaming' house, and that he hid played there. He identified six of the defendants as engaged in the management of the games, and paying and receiving money, won end lo,t at the two houses. The names of these persona were, John Soris, William de Condes, John Williams, James Price, Henry Johnson, and Ellis 'Richards. He also identified several others as being constant player, at the tables. The witness was cross examined by Mr. Curwood. ,Mr. MINSUULL Oblefied, that there were two ways of of pEoeeeding , the one was, to hot I the dek u d iots to hail to answer to indictments under the 33d of Henry VIII.

Mr. HALLS concurred in opinion wi t h h is h ro h.. r lUagistrates, and the six persons named ahoy, as be:ii;..7 'concerned in conducting the too houses, were held t bill to appear at the neat Sessions.

When asked what he had to say %e this charge, the defendant launched into the most vio lent abuse of Mr. Jollifle; he also attempted to prueo that his letter was not of a threatening tiart,r-, as he only used the word resentment, which diffcro I very from the word revenge.
