Mr. Gamut (a Magistrate) returned thanks.— Thire payment was io the cowpony's enjoyment.— The Object eras not solely convivial, there was an. otheetud'a greater; object—to continue and perpe tuate the hareiouy of mind, the congeniality of stn. stiment, and the concord of opinion which at present perelded Use Meeting.—(Applause.)—lt was said, we took treeble as Managers of . this Dinner, and as a Committee for the Election. Why did we dp,it'? ' Not to conciliate the good opinion' et any tiaan or set of men, but for the cause' which we had at bract. That was the moving principle of ocr ertions: The difficulties we eudored, which God knows were many, are repaid by the seeress of the cause. This; I hope, is not the last Meeting td COM. memorate the event ; but that something like this will be held annually. Unity, concord, Oman, a long pull, a strong pull, a pull altogether, will be thus ensured. Independence has much increased, is increasing, and will not be repressed. It *ill in. evitably, iufallibly, go on increasing.—(Applemmt.) —Light is spreading, men read, think, men° ; when they reason, they cannot fail to perceive the troth. The spirit of independence is not mailed to England or to Europe, it is spr•ding to the eorib t to the south, to the east, and to the west. There may be political alliances and holy Alliances,..and Green Bag Plots; loot as well , me; it bwattempied to hide the son by a blanket as to stop this tinter of freedom and independence.—( Very great applause.)

When Mr. Shaw - 14 e-, (erre bad been first elected, he (Mr. Letchworth) had prophesied that they should find him a man of clean hands, a clear heed, and a good heart. Ilia prophesy was not falsified. With equal conbdosige be prophesied that' they should' find in Mr. Palmer clean hands,,a clear bead, and a good heart.—(M•ils ',applause.)—They wotild therefore cordially drink'ihrt healths of those who nominated him.—(Applatqe.)

Who did not regard with disgust and, indignation the riots occasioned by Mr. Weylend's suppers? Of Mr. Weirs it wis sufficient so say, that the state of the poll had shown their opinion of him.
