With respect to that House, one fact aloue would set it Is its true light. A Roll bad been brought in to 'noble five or six Catholic Peers to sit mid deliberate is this ill•orioos and lively Hoene of Peers; but lowed of looking at it as it Oleo affects the present times, the wise leaders of the bigot party gravely examined the teatimes, of Oates and Brener', and nicely weighed the conduct and Mo tives of those who had lived 140 years ate. They dwelt too upon the saachinatioes of the Pope; bet as well might they have felt appieheasions from those old women, who at that period were supposed to ride in the air on broom. stubs, as to dread the machinations of the Pope. l'he danger from the Pope was over—the Papal authority of his Isisigdowi was scarce sole to defend itself against the aggres sions of Catholic Austria. The power of the Pope was as ma* despised by Catholic bigots ou the Continent as it was feared and heated by Protestant bigots is England. H. wend be the last to despair of his comory, or of the liberties of the world. When he looked at the progress of edema. icion-a-at the rapid advance of knowledge which ,ogled with all the fosse and majesty of the ocean, and which was dasibord to sweep away the barriers of ignorance and sla very, he saw nothiag to cause despair ; on the contrary, she cause of freedom, he was convinced, ',so l id become stronger than the most sanguine heart could hope for. The triumph of Spain and Portugal—the struggles of Greece— Ilse hope of Italy, which, though blasted for a moment, held a steady eye on the recovery of its freedom, must tend to convince the oppressors of the world, that if they pose vered to oppose the deliverance of *Owls, the recoil emitd only prove the more dangerous, sod the moment of writ's. lion become more terrible to themselves. The lionoorabie Gentleman sat down amid the loud and enthusiastic cheers of the Room. The next toast was, " The Health of Samuel C. Whit. braid, Esq. and the triumph of Middlesex." Mr. WtitTnacan said, he thanked the company. not only in his own name, but also oii behalf of the beeholders of Middlertz. He assured the company, that if any thing could stimulate their exertions, it would be the esteem and applause of the Electors of Southwark. He felt it the duty of every iodivi. 'dash, ow an occasion like the present, to come forward; if be wished to prove the necessity of union, it would be in the case of his Gallant Fu lend. in the person of their Represen tative they saw the victim of Ministerial oppression. Whet euald base shielded him but the public voice of the people! They saw how useless and seeffective were the shafts oe power (onside doors, when opposed to the just will of the . people. Inside doors, however, the este was quite differ ent. The men whose lives and property Le Natio to de fend, supported the base objects of M misters, and left upon ' , CUE(' an act most disgraceful to the history of the country. With respect to the question of Reform, it was indispensable W the very salvation of the country, and to that great object every polio ought to give way.—(Applause.)—in the high political situation in which he was placed, he desired nothing no much as to have his name coupled in the very Orontes" manlier with the cause of Reform. He should always cow tome his exertion. in that caner, and the moment of ulti mate triumph be would look un as the proudest and happiest • iuthis life. The next toast was, "The Health of Aldermen Wood, Thorp, bud Waithman, and the Reformers of Loadoa."— (Applause.) Mr. Alderman Woof) returned thanks. No man was more ready than himself to sacrifice his tine, anti even his life, if necer.ary, to the common good. • ' 4 ipplause.)—He had been long is public life—not so long • Parliament ;- w I -..~,'. ~.

The next toast "ea.—. " The health of the Hou. G. Bennett:* Mr. BaNnarr said. that he thanked them for the flattering way in which they received his name nothing to him was more acceptable than the ap plause of mru who had shewn so mach discrimina tion in the selection of such a main as his Honour able and Gallant Friend.—(Applause.)—lt was his good fortune to have been present when his Honourable Friend had first met them ; he re membered the eager manner in which they stepped forward to support that cause, which iudeed was theirs as well se his.—(Applause.)— The coutest elided, as was to be expected. in the triumph' of the independence of the electors of Sow ',wink.— (A pplaiiite.)—Tiley saw every day the cause of the many sacrifices to the interests and am bition of the few—hut thees's', of truth end liberty wasedvencing—every little and almost imperceptible step still forwarding Oust great object which the peo ple had in vies—he meant a free and cheap Govern ment. It lied been said that a free people always bore taxation more patiently than any other. With re wiwct to that, if the fr e edom of England were to he tried by that lest, they ought to be the freest people that ever existed in any age of the world.—(A laugh).—The 11011. Member next adverted to the present state of public distress, and the feeble efforts made in Parliament to remove that distress. They had, indeed, abolished one of the Postmasters Gene ral and two Lords of the Admiralty ; but did they do any thing deserving notice to lessen the public burdens. or to stop the current of public corruption ? Nothing. The people had before them the means of restoring the country to comfort—to real inde pendence and prosperity. He tired not say that it was by the measure of Reform alone that they could achieve those thing.. and restore England to that glorious character which the victories and power of the people entitled her to assume and to unnintain. The next toast was the health of " Mr. Hume, the active and persevering friend of Economy and Reform, sod the Reformers of Scotland." Mr. Hume said, that hr was satisfied the choice of the electors in electing his Gallant Friend had been completely realized. It was lamentable to ree how few who lied the power had exercised it with that spirit and discretion which reflected to much honour on the people of Southwark. He (Mr. Hume) was not one of those who looked with de spondency on the country. In no part of the world were there so many resources—resources which, if properly applied, ought to make the people of England the most prosperous and the most hippy of any people on the face of the earth—not only from their spirit, but their great indus try, their immense capital, and their private virtues. In no country was there half so touch wealth, or half so much discontent proof of the bad state of the Government. Amongst the many causes of discontent stated at Agricul tural Meeting., it appeared to him that the reel cause of discoutent bad not been assigned; to him it appeared manifest that the cause of distress was occasioned by too much having been taken out of the pockets of the people—oat of the produce of their industry, in the shape of taxes.—(Applause.) —That evil, one of the greatest that could oppress a people, proceeded from the stare of the repre sentutinii. If the voice of the people had been beard in the House of Commons, they would not have permitted millions of the public money to be squandered on an unnecessary war. By a late return to the House of Commons, it appears that 61 millions had been paid as subsidies to foreign Powers—to persona for supporting their own cause—to persoos who had the war at their own doors, sod whose very existence depended on their exertions and their votes. If the people of England had been represented fairly, those subsi dies would not have been paid away—the public money would not be squandered—the public liberty would not have been endangered. The House of Cbmmons was said to hold the purse-strings of the people—alas! if they had that power, in his time, at least, they never exerted it. He trusted that the people would never cease in their endeavours to gran that Reform which would give them an ef fectual control over the public expenditure. No person who heard him—no Englishman would refuse to contribute to the great, and neces sary exuenee of the Government; but he trust ed that every Englishman, not interested in public profusion, would resist those ocsndslous acts of extravagance which had prevailed so long, and to which the country owed its great distresses. It was not necessary for him to say how much those who surrounded him had strug gled for their country, and though it might appear easy to those who bad never tried it, he could aerate them that it was a most trying acid a most difficult task to attempt, in the strong hold of power, to stein that torrent of corruption which threatened to sweep away the very foundations of public security and of public rights—(A pplause.)—lt was notorious that many of the measures which had been propos ed by them (the Opposition), mud which had been resisted by immense majorities in the Hou. House, had been this Sessioo carried into effect by those who had formerly opposed them. The Hon. Gent. next adverted to the expression of she public opi nion throughout the country; the county of Nor folk alone had given a signal instance of the grow ing influence of that opinion; of the twenty-one hundreds in the county, twelve had recently petiti oned for retrenchment, economy, and reform.—(A p plause.)—From the state of this country, from the aspect uf affairs abroad, from the general advance ment of the human mind, it was plain to him that the good cause of the people was advancing, and that it would be impossible fur the enemies of the people to resist for any long time the success of their cause—the cause of Reform. To advance it his humble exertions had been, aod, if he should be spared. would he exerted. The Hon. Gentle man, alter returnitig thanks, at down amid the applause of the meetieg. The CHAIRMAN seat proposed the health of Me. C. H. Huicbitmoss, a Goalies:nu whose nitre. - ~-~ ~..~ pidity to the field he had often witnessed—what useful and zealous labours. not only in the effuse of Ireland, to which he was so much de voted, but in the cause of the empire at large, deserved the applause of every enemy to oppres sion, and of every lover of human rights.—.(Cheers.) Mr. HUTCHINSON returned thanks. He felt grateful to his Gallant Friend—grateful beyond the power of words. After what they had heard that night, they could expect nothing from him en the state of public affairs ; after the ininsi. table speech of his Honourable Friend, the Mem ber fur Durham, be (Mr. Hutchinson) would only weaken the effect that speech had pro duced, if he attempted to follow his Honour able Friend. That was the third time lie had met the electors of Southwark—if hi, public con. duct had not been consistent, he could not appear amongst them.—(Applause.)—lt was true t h at dif ficulties lay in the way of the little band who had to meet the phalsnx of corruption, with all its formidable power, but he was convinced that the cause of truth war; rapidly advancing, end the day of Reform was not dtstant.—(Great sp. plause.)-11 they looked at the conduct of his Gallant Friend for the four years during which he hes been their Representative, they would find him worthy of their thanks sod their support —(Applause)...-He had known him longer, he knew him in Ireland when very early in life, raising his then feeble voice io the cause of his (Mr. Hutchin son's) oppressed and suffering countrymen—(Loud •pplause).—lle was indignant at the treatment Irishmen received, and the best and purest men in Ireland felt and expressed their gratitude to his Gallant Friend for the generous sympathy which he had shewn in the cause of Ireland—(Loud end long continued applause).—He had traced him from that to the field of battle, displaying, if possible, more octivity in comforting the wounded foe, than a few hours before lie had displayed wen he stood foremost in danger. The Honourable Gentleman next adverted, in an eloquent and pathetic man ner, to the distresses of Ireland—the country of hie birth, to which in heart sod soul he was at tached, and the love of which he would only sur render with his life. She had been ever treated with cruelty and injustice : had it been other wise, elle would not now stand a mendicant for cha rity, but • great and powerful nation, as God and nature intended that she should have been. He was grateful for the benevolence of England—more grateful then he had words to 'ewers. He hoped the state of his countrymen would be often touch ed on at public meetings in England, and by that their cause might be forced upon the Legislature. The people of Ireland were no longer to be trifled with—their Trump could be no longer endured : it was wise to conciliate-41 would be dangerous to inflame them. We regret that the lateness of the hour prevents us from gang at any length into the speech of the Hon. Geniletnan, which was received thoroughout with the moat walked applause.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. It will be reco:lected that last year, at the celebration of this anniversary, the grcasest out rages were committed, and some persons lost their lives, for which a man named M•Carthy was tried at the Old Bailey, and several others at the Westminster Sessions suffered various lengths of imprisonment. The inhabitants of Downing-street were kept in a tate of alarm during the morning of yesterday, dread ing a repetition of the like scenes. Some men of co. lour, belonging to the band of the Rd ►egt. of guards having been diinking in the Heavy VIII. public house, where they quarrelled, end having turned into the street,• regular row commenced ; men, women, sod children were indiscriminately knocked down, and the most fearful consequences were, for a con siderable time, apprehended. At length, by the • interference of a number of gentlemen'■ servants, Sec., the tumult was put a stop to. A great num ber of the Police were ordered on duty from the Queen-square Office, fur the purpose of preserving tranquillity. The sum ►eceived from the Committee for the management of the Ball given at the King's theatre, on the 30th of May, for the relief of the distress in Ireland, is 3,5001. The Corporation of Nottingham have resolved to petition the House of Lords in favour of the Ro man Catholic Peers' Bill. —( ring/tax ✓ournal.) Mr. JOHN SssrrH, Chairman of the Committee for the relief of the distress io Ireland, sitting at the City or London Tavern, stated on Monday night in the House of Commons, that " from a well-authenti cated statement, it appeared that 99,639 inhabitants in Clare, and 132.000 in Cork, were absolutely without the means of subsistence !" It is the in tention of Government to leave 250.0001. at the dispoial of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in addi tion to 150,9001. already granted to be expended in employment for the poor and the ti.heries ; but without the continued exertions of individual ge nerosity and humanity. the means supplied by Governmeift cannot check the progress of this over whelming calamity. Last week two females died in Strathaven in the prime of their age, in whose lives there was a re markable coincidence. They were very intimate before marriage ; they were married about the same time ; their husbands were brothers; they both died within tisenty.five minutes of each other ; were car ried under the same pall, and laid in the same grave. A HARD Casa.—Some days back a private of the 88th, quartered in this town. requested his Commanding Officer to obtain him permission to change into the 44th regiment. now embarking for India. On being asked his motive for this singular wish. he replied, it was from no dislike to the regi ment or hie comrades, or his officer., gni least of all to his Honour, nor from any partiality to the 44th, or to ludia;..." but the truth is, I am wearied, and I hear my wife is coining to join : I wield fain be sir litat."—(C'agast Herald.) =1;.:.a21 ' te.-± • Ler INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Sc•atEre was now heard against the rule obtained on • former day for a new trial. The COURT postponed going farther into the case, as Mr. Justice Bayley was obliged to leave the Court at two o'clock. HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. CAMPBELF mooed for a writ of Habeas Corpus to he directed to the gaoler of Carmarthen, to bring up the body of Thomas James, coofined in his custody under the warrant of two Justices of the Peace fur that county (whose names we forbear to mention), for an alleged contempt. It appeared by the affidavit that James was sworn itito the office of High Constable of Car marthen, but not having repaid his predecessor a sum of 3s. which he alleged to have paid fur • cer tificate for him (James), he summoned Inns before two Magistrates, and after James had attended for some time, he went sway ; and on • succeeding day, when he went again, he found they had issued a warrant against him; he requested to be heard by she Justices, but was refused, and on ilia saying he feared they were prejudiced against him, be was, by order of the Justice., taken away and locked op for an hour in a dark room, and afterwards again taken before them and informed that he was com mitted to the county gsiil for contempt, where he should remain as loom as he lived. He then asked pardon in a submissive manner, and ezplained what he meant by saying he feared they were pre judiced ligation him, but he was peremptorily or. dered to be taken to the county gaol, where he still remains. Mr. CAMPSRLL read a copy of the warrant of commitment, which expressed that he was to re main in gaol until discharged by due course of The LORD CHIC?

Yesterday Ninny Kelly, apparently about 40 years of age, underwent an examination before Thomas Halls, Esq. the Midair Magistrate, charged with maliciously stabbing Ed. ward Duffey with a knife, and thereby endangering ►i. life. It appeared that on Monday night Duffey and his wife were at the Primmer 's lodgings in Church -street, St. Glee's; they quarrelled together, and the Primmer desired Duffey to go out of the room, obreateaisg to slab him if be dbl sot; Duffey left the room directly. but owing to some aggravat lag expression used by the Prisoner be returned, and was entering the room, wheat the Primate snatched up a clop knife which was lying on a table, and stabbed ►in is the fore part of his left shoulder. Daffey's wife immediately gave the alarm and the Prisoner was taken into custody by Ellis, one of the conductors of doe patrol belonging to the este. blishmeat, and by him conveyed to the watchbouse, where she was secured fur the night. The poor man, Duffey, was taken to Middlesex Hospital, wb ,, rs eve►y attention that his sitsstion required was ren dered him ; he is, however, at present in a very precarious state, being much weakened by the elation of blood, which was considerable. The following is a copy of the certificate from the Hospital, which was produced to the Magistrate: " I certify that Edward Dudley was brought is here last eight with a deep stab in the fore port of his left shoulder, ■tad, though it is hoped be may ultimately do well, it is im possible at present to give a d.cided opinion on the subject.
