CANNING. LIVERPOOL, AUGUrT 30. A public dinner was Ibis day given by the ishabitents of Liverpool, to afford them as opportunity of taking leave of their representative, Mr. Canning, on his departure for In dia. None of the inns being considered sufficiently large to accommodate the Dumber also were expected to attend, the use of the Lyceum was given fur the occasion, hut such was the demand fur tickets, that long before the appointed day there was not a sigle admission left andtsposed of; sad we are given to understand tbat as bigb as ten pouods have been offered and refused for a ticket. like hour of dining wa■ onmed for 6.e o'clock, before which upwards of 400 geutlemen had seated tbeasselves at table. Al dye Mr. Caneieg entered, and was received with loud and repeated cheers. He was accompasird tub the room by Lord W. Sentinel, Lord G Bentiock, Sir R. Holt Leigh, .1. Hope, Earl , Advocate, Mr. II Wilbraham, IL P., Mr. Courtensy,lll.P., Mr. Kirkman Finlay, Mr. Gladstone, ALP., Mr. Deckhouse, Mr. Chimicry, Sir. Littleton, mid seveial other friend,. The dinner, which was of the moat sumptuous de.ges I ptiun. being ended, sod the cloth removed, Non Noblt Dentine was sung. The CHAIRMAN (1. B. Honing-ahead, ) proceeded to the toasts in the order in which they were set down in the carols. • " His Majesty, the King, Duke of Lancaster;" fuer times four. This toast was received with loud and repeated 'heeling. Song—God save the King. " His Royal Highness lie Doke of York, sad the rest of re Roma Fanaily." land—Duke of York's Werth. " The Army and Navy of the Vuited Kingdom." Band —Whorls, strike home. "The House of Brunswick, and may they never forget the Principles which mated them on the Throne of them Realms." Glee—Hail, Star of Brunswick. Three toasts were also received with repeated cheers. — Silence having been obtained— The CHAIRMAN said lie perceived that the assembly anticipated the tout which he was about to give ; mid he also could anticipate the acclamation and entbusissis with which that toast could be sereived.—(Applause.)—However flattering it might be to the friends and couetituente of hia Right Hon. Friend Mr. Canning, to see him selected to ad minister the government of British India, the must impair. teat settlement belonging to this country, taking it either is • popular or commercial point of view ; but high es that 'Ace was, sad great as were the interests depending epos ifs pine administration, still, he would ask, woe it nut pounble to Ax upon some other highly respectable cherneter, rather thus take from this country Its most enlightened and experienced Stairsonse—(Cheerel—and Gone the House of Comm o ns its most skewed orator and brightest °slimmest ?—(l.oud cheer ing.)—He (Mr. Hulling-head) still Indulged a hope, that eir rin.tanees would yet arise so p end retain his Right Hon. Friend among them. With these few observations, be begged to propose the fullowisg toner ; " Our highly distinguished Representative, the Right Hon. George Canning, with our cordial thanks to him for his eminent services; our deep regret for hie separation from us; with our •inert and heartfelt wishes for his health sail happiness : nine times mdse." It is impossible to describe the enthusiastic (replier with which this toast was drank. The clieeiiiir la►ted fur several minutes, and when, me, partial silence tiring obtained, Mr. Canning attempted to tier, they again buret forth, Bed were continued for • considerable tune. Mr. CANNING rose evidently moat affocted ; he several limes inward. to speak, but be was prevented as much by Ina feeling*, as by the loud and reiterated cheering with which be was greeted from all parts of the room. Silence hiring been at length obtained, the Right Honourable Gestlem. o, proceeded to address the meeting in nearly the followi•g terms:—Gentlemen, often as I Ease had oceasioo to ex. press my acloowledgmeots for the kindoessts I have received from my comitituesits, I have never risen 'ease feelings so suppressive as those which now overpower me. It is sot that your kindness is strange to me, for it began at an early pet Led ; it begat, when by your unsolicited selection I became yonr Roe presentative, and it has grows sod strengthened with the growth and streogi h of our acquaintance. Bel, Gentlemen, this crowniog kiodness, at a moment when I have come to refutes you my sincere thanks fur the past, and to terminate our immediate connexion for At future, is truly overeoming, and almost deprives me of the power of expressing those ferliogs which it so naturally inspires. Let those who doubt of the excelletiee of the British Coostitution look opals the assembly by which I am surrounded—let them oh. were the situation in which I stand, without nny except to your good will, bat that of having boontly eat tied and obtained your good opinion, and, permit me to add, affeetios, by the conseieolioss discharge of a duty which it was as much a pleasure as as honour to discharge.—(Cliern..) Gentlemen, a country in which sock feelings car be roused, • Constitution, the faithful support of which draws forth such cheering approbation, ens sever Disk under npprebeude ed despotism on the one hand, or fall • prey to faction or party on the other. In such a country, no dread toed Ito entertained of the ruin of all that is valuable its piablic,.or deer and estimable in private life.—(Applause.)—Gentle men, there are other roads to popolsrity and to power than that which I hare followed. The tenure of power may be confirmed by undeviating subserviency mid obedieoce; but there is still another road to the attainment of both. There is a rued to the attainment of popularity by holdinz out to tie country a remedy for every evil,' whether per assent or temporary; by attributing the woks of vidence to the mise.ndect of Government, and by point ing out every visitation; however unforeseen, to their min government and misrule.—(Applause.)—Tbere is • road to popularity and power by inflaming the passions of the Multitude ; •by letting theta that such and such mamma are thecettoory to the salv•tsuit.of the country I in • wordy by at tempting to ride upon and direct the whirlwind of Reform. ..-(Applause.)—To neither the our course nor the other here 1 felt it for my honour eie my duly to lead my elf. 1 know" while 1 say this tint I am by mine considered a compro mising politician fur having, as has been said, lent myself to measures of which I did not thoroughly approve, while, en the other haul, 1 111 TY been held to be an unpopular Representative, herniae I disdained to feed mad Palter the passions of she peolfle—(Chem)_/ . .,, G t nsl e m en, the people are open fu flattery as well as Kier.. 1 hava been held to be au unpopular Representative, because I have openly spoken Or truth, wisen to do so was to risk the tenure of populatity.

It is, however, Genticmi n, n p. coliarity as honorable and as glorious to she town of Liverpool as it is to me, namely, that in this town I have not one political enemy—(Cheers.)-1 shall ewer consider this day as one of the proudest is my life; for I have in the course oft he morning,Gent limes (you will pardon the bout, fear it it a rircuiesience which lies near tu my bears), I Lave this morning received from the amocieted commercial bodies of Liverpool, au acknowledgment far beyond ally thing that I have done or endeavoured lode is favour of my constitu. cuts. On looking over the signatures of the deputations who represented these bodies, I find that every Si cord name at least is that of a man who hes bean actively curetted is opposing my election—(Cheers )—Tbst I hove deserved this high distinctiun I cannot pretend to stale; that I have received it shall be mg pride and boast to the latest hour of my life, and at my death I shall transmit it to my children as a sure and con vincing proof, that in .this happy country, and under our free Constitution, • man has only to discharge his public duty fearlessly stud honourably, is order to obtain sooner or later that reward to which • just and anxious discharge of that public duty entitles him—(Cheera.)—l need hardly say, that such a testimony of respect as that S. which I have •Ilndril, while it sail.fies the doubta which I a ily en tertained with respect to my competence properly to dis charge my duty towards persona entrrtainnig, in some in. stances, opidoes directly oppomil to mine, must disable me from referring acrimoniously (indeed, an acrimonious feel ing I never est.rtained) to the conduct or doctrines of those who have hems adverse to the cause which we have uadeviat hotly supported. Never have I known the miser to which our coolest. bare gives rise nit vire the subject which occasion. ed it. I kilos, nut whether there be now meat any person differing politically from me, kat I wish to say that while I steadfastly adhere to my owe opialitems. and Hier* the occa sion makes it necessary that I slanilil renspit•lnte those upi. whom, I am most desirous to avoid saying any thing cake lilted to (offend those who differ from me, or who may have from a feeling of duty opposed my election. It so hap pened, that when I came among you there existed • great war—a war which, while its success was doubtful, gave rise to vents's% opinions as to the policy of entering into it; but at the seccersful termination of which d verse opioion was drowned in acclamation mid rejoic ing. There were then, sad there still are, two great na tional questions in which I have taken • prominent part. On the one, 1 bare had the misfortune IV differ from the great body of my dearest and most respected friends ; on the other, 1 have had the happluess of agreeing with )on in opposition to our common adversaries. I allude to the questions of' Catholic Emsnripstioo and Paella neeistary Refits. Oil the first subject I am well aware; and in the first speech which I bad the honour of addressing to you in Liverpool, I moduli, declared that I had the mis fortune of differing from those with whom I was its the habit of generally agreeing oil political subjects ; aad I told my Coostilueett, that in accepting me as their Represeotative, they elided one who eupporltd,siol would not abate • single jut of his anxiety or exertious for the success of that ques tion. Accordingly I have taken every opportunity of most . strenuously supportieg the questionuf Catholic Emeacipstiou in •hateeer modificatime It has bee. discussed. I dealt ho nourably with you on t h e UreCallioll; and though 1 have rarely give. an opinioa which was not that of my cumin- Mews also, I net pl in knowing that upon that occa sion I spoke the general sense of the country. I have not in any isistsnee compromised your rights; 1 have gone for ward in what I conceive to hr the slinicht pall of duty, and neither here nor elsewhere have I reason so repent of my per. stn:ranee. Were 1 le remsiti in this country, and again represein you in the Wyse of'Communa, 1 ellipsoid pursue the seine course, no matter what meracuess it might give me to differ in opioiou ;rem those friends whom I so highly n sped. I, however, think, and as I shall nut, perhaps, have an oppor tunity of elating it elsewhere, t am anxious to take lids lime to mafiosi it, that after the struggle which him been made upon the question foe the last ten year., I 51601114, as an iir dividual, he iacliot d to advise that it should be treated as queation of compromise, rather that, one of an unquali. fied nature, as it has li:therio bees argued. I feel as deeply and as anxiously now for the success of this minnow as I did at any former pi riod of my life. Bet upon grounds of political expediency, and looking to the peace of the ceuntry, I confess I should he ready to accept what I think by a comerersiise might be obtained, adjourning, bur never abandoning those points which I conceive to be as present matters of hopeless litigation. In the House of Contemns I should perhape bare hesitated to express sheet opinion., because these is is salutary Jealousy estertaintil by the public at any change of opinion by • public man ; a jea. lousy which makes it safer to pursue what is hopeless, rather the. seek to obtain what by • compromise might be bad, and thereby subject one's 'mischief to public riiseonstrection. ' But I say it here, for here no euspicion of improper motives can attach to the declaration. I hinted at this in the course of ',cent debate,. I was anxious to preserve the peace attic country; I wished that we should have bresthiug time; I wished to semove one great gauge of discussion and com plaint, reserving for a future period the introduction and accompletheseat of that inane complete arrangemesit; of which I, for one, shell never forego cape. tstion—(Applause.)--Gen tlenien, I now turn to the second Titanium, that of Podia watery Reform, with which, perhaps, more than the other my name has beru connected; connected too in • way which has drawn urn one winch popular olnerentlion, and often much popular obloquy. They much mistake owe who -mappese that I impute to the rupporters of reform • perfect e„„ w i r ,i x ,. n e what the p r inciples which they advocate would lead tor* No! Gentlemen, it is with their doctrines I quarrel; and I wow wish, as I have ever, dime, to discuss Muse doc trines argumentatively, and nut vituperatively. I wish those persons who cry out for reform, to Piste to me, to stale to themselves distinctly the objects they have is view, and their means of attaining those objects. Do they ground their necessity for reform upon the fact of our having been engaged in expensive ware, our baying bees engaged in Wag and protracted struggles on Om Cotangent Do they advocate ' N up she Wood of heavy taxation and severe legislative coact. meats ? Supposing them their grown& for reform, sad grant. Mg, for argument sake, that they are tree, the* 1 ask, is it by the Hosts, n* Commons alone skit these sets have hero now. timed? Du they charge them as the arts of a single body' Has no nortion or coeflrweetioss been given by member As sembly to lbose easetnieuts? If there be mother. Assembly essospersinig wish she House of Cosfisiouns, then, I say, a Re. farm of she House of Comm..., is usigaiory, without a co ordinate Reform of that other body also.—(Cheers.)—l yut 'this plain question, and I have never yet met the man who would answer it satisfactorily. If yeti reform the House of Commove, pray whet are your intentions with import to the House of Lorelle?—(Apolause.l—lf you wish • Reform on the ground of the House of Commons hatetag sanci•oned she war with America; if yen wish for a Referee on the ground of the HO•ive of Comirions h•ving ssuctisnied the war with Franee,sinking for • moment she fart that war with America was the war of the people, sinking the furs that the wit with Femme was the war of the nation. If yes weak fur Reform, because at a later period the House of Conswesesis fogad it Necessary to pass severe enactments fur the tepees sion of dangerous disturhauces ' then I .4, ate the House off Lords, who were parties to these trsasactiay, 1 gr H .firx p— eat, Howe Past what is the remedy Yon p me And, if you propose no remedy fur the Home of Loeb, where is the benefit of reforming the House of Commons' Do you mean to peeved by reason or by compulsion ? If by reason, then reason is m rood nut of dour* as in. Is it by comuulsion Aye, that is what yea mean bet whet you do not dare to say—(Cheers.)—Why, then, my qesarrel with Reformers is not as to the rood* or the degree; I take an sho ji-view in Maine, that they ask that, instead el'• tripartite graviton:eel, thine should be erected a simple instrusneut which would do its own work by sweeping uff every obstacle and impediment which stood is ita well. This is my ohjrc lion to she prope•ed Reform. Ido not object to it because Old Sarum returns one, or two, or twenty Members to Par liament. I don't object to it because it would prevent this or that Peer fro wing his iofluenre in reissuing Members fin boroughs. For God's sake, if you eau prove corruption in any borough, disfragebiae it, 8.1 you have disfianthised Grampoend ; but, if by the representsiives of the People you mean the organ of the nation (and mach confusion has arisen from misunderstanding end canfoundiug terms), then 1 ask, when the nation bas its organ, what room is there for say thing more? This question of Reform is pressed more immediately upon my attention, from the eircumStance of a Gentleman in a neighbouring cennty—• Gentleman of former, of character, and of great Weida, of whom I wish to speak with great respect, having thought proper recently to rake up the dying embers uf this unhappy question; on which °ceasing he did in. the honour to refer to some opinion. de livered by me in another place. Mr. Fawkes, the gentleman to whom I allude, and whose name I mention with honour, thought proper to express his surprise that I, the Represee. tative of the opulent sad commercial touts of Liverpool, should express any anxiety about soch close boroughs as Old Seam. Perhaps I might in return express my our. prise that Mr. Fawkes, who commenced his exertions for re. foes by clamouring ahoy( the inadequate represeatal ion of his owe county of Yorkshire, should, now the( the represen tation of that comity bad wee doubled, discover that • reform was more Mao ever necessary to the welfare of the cowstrys-(Cheers.)—Had I a grimace to complain of, it would be that which has for sorb a length of time been dinned in my ears, I mean the complaints of the county of York, aim, like Niete and her numerous offspring, wept ber us. happy fate; and new that she had been gifted with two more helpmates, seeing her unhappy ,00, com l og forward so lenient the violation of public liberty end the destitution tit Baglimil.—(Load elseering.)—Surprise for surplise. But I shall Were the Gestieunan's surprise to euuviceion. It is jest because I am the representative of the second town in the kingdom that I advocate the cases of smaller boroughs. I have no hesitation is declaring, that were I the remesea• sative of Old Sarum, I should have held my tongue; bet it is because I could not be suspected of having • shadow of interest in the question, that I felt it my deity to say that which, if said by others, might be imputed to question able motives. I did so, because I was anxious to expose the fallacy of those doctrines, wbirh, while they pretend ed to remove the blots and seasolals of the cogitate. lion, cositained principles which would go to change the whole nature of the institution itself. ' Let any reformer chew me that lie is only anxious to remove those blots which exist, unit I am wish him ; but the doctrine of reform goes further--il goes not to alter the mode, but the thing—it would have the effect of altering. those institutions which combined all the industry, all the property, and which ores ed • dour to all the talent of the country.—(Clbeeto )—Let us beware, Getidempo, of o is oo ioe the introduction of a system which would act by power and not by reason—which would g by authority, and toot by that salutary conflict of opinions and of interests which at present exista-.a sys. tem whirls to set at all most act alone. It is because I feel this, that I find it necessary to oppose reform. Gesstitiness, it has bees said that site influence of the Cruise operates so pow. erfolly in she House of Commons, that it p is all its de cisions. My first answer to that proposition is that which I have already given. How rarely do we find the House of Lords dirt ring from the House of Commons, and what is the rause of this? Is it that influence of the Crown ope. rules on the Howse of Lords also i Take either alternative. Hit is we, then I will ask you reform t h e House of Lords also? Aod what is 114. maitre of lise Reform which you propose? If it lased so, will you derange she whole machi nery of the Conatilutios by placing the whole power at the disposal of • single body ?

Etre within the limits of our own time, it is Magniar to ob serve the rarimis modes to w►ich Reform has been advocated. Six years ago great and oppressive calamities burl the coon-- try. The price of corn bemuse ►ugly and fond became so • dear that it wan unattainable by the lowest classes of society. What was the remedy proposed then ? It•rliameatary Reform. Parliamentary Reform was pointed out to the suffering people es a remedy for every grievance. They were told that the great landholders had passed the Corn Bill, sod that the only remedy left was to put down those arsenical land holders, which could be effected only by Parlismemary Reform. Well, the times are come round, the men. Inds Me glutted, the people are feeding in comfort and a®ience ; we see the happy effects of this le the steady ea t .ploynient of litho& at something of a reduced rate of wages certainly, but still more than suffitiest to proctors the mess series of life; we see it in the reduction of poops rates, and in the dissinuticie of crime. It wasld be rather hard if those wbo, seven years ago, thought the country reined, and declared the Parliament good for nought for having passed the Corn hill, w►o saw the increase of crime conse quent upon the scarcity; it would be ember bard, 1 say, if they dial not sympathise in that prosperity which bail grown out of the reverse of what they had complained or. —(Laughter.)—Well, low priers came, and landlords be eline distressed, sad what was then the reined; ? Par liamentary Return' *gain ;—(Liteghter)—so that by • Parliamentary Reform they were to restore thegood old limes of 1817, which times • Parliamentary Reform had been called for to remedy—(Laughter.)—l do not wish to under rate either evil ; God forbid I should. Is both there is much which 1 lament sad could wish to cure, but as to • Reform in Parliament cerise both, I leave to the judgment of any man who has seri it prescribed as • specific for such opposite evils Reform is prescribed • panacea for every thing. 1 remember having • short time since somewhere read of an artist who had attained considerable eminence in painting, but who fur some unaccountable reason confined himself to one branch of his art, that of painting a red lion.— (laughter.)—He was employed by the landlord of • public house, for whom he paneled s red hoe, in such excellent style as considerably raised his professienal reputation, sad he was in esesequeece sent fur by a geutlenme, who chewed him a langopsusel in ►is parlour, upon which be wish-d to have some pointing ted. The artist, after gram" con sidestiob, recommended that the vacant paunch should be filled up with • large red lion—(Laughter,)—and a large red lion was accordingly painted. to a short time after, he was called upon by ■ neighbour in more humble eircomstaucer, wbo had a small pannel in which he wished to have painted • landse. pe, or some pretty trifle in water colours. The painter opposed this plan, and warmly urged that, in order to produce • pleasing effect, the pommel should have depicted on it • small red lion.—(Cbeers sod laughter.)—ibis is the case with the advocates of reform, in whatever direction you meet them, and the most you can get from the most moderate of them is, that they will introduce only the enattred lion (Laughter.) Geoliensen, I wish these things were only en tertaining ; but there is mischief in them, and the country most be on its guard; for, believe me, it the small red lion once gets is, he will only be a precursor to the whole mena gerie—(ebeees)—and we shall have nut only to turn him cut as he came in, but as be will have grown when pampered end fed in his cage.—(Laughter.)—This subject becomes the more important, when we consider that in the age in which we lire, there exists is some countries an open, and is others • secret, struggle •gaitnt monarchy and aristocracy. God be praised we have not our pan to take In such a struggle—God be praised we have sheerly delved all the benefit which can Ise derived from the conflict, •nd therefore i► is our duty set to side is the assault with those who ask too mac►, or with those who will grant twilling. We ought not to stimulate either party, we ought In stand upon a firm basis as specimens interested in the contest, and perhaps ultimately the umpire. But if we prematurely make ourselves s party, we shall kw the comenandsag position which we hold ; we shall also lose the power of doing much good, sod perhaps rim the risk of Mavis( our own institutions not altered but overthrown--(Clicers.)—To an audience leas enlightened, I should fr.l ashamed to enter thus far into the generalities, but our ceane,ioal Is one of principle, and to that only do I owe any claim to your lineation. Whatever may be my future destination, It will be • co•sulstiou to me to niter., that 1 have laid is your hearts the foundation of most lasting regard (cheers); asd believe me, Gentlemen, ' that nothing shall efface from my mind the recolkettin of the many kiedsteises I hove received at your tituds.—(ol.eers. ) It may perhaps be thought oeceesary, after the speesh of ins Honourable Mead, and the •lluaions he bas made to me, that I should offer a few words to yo■ on topics cunnemed with the preterit affairs of the country, and to the rumours which have grown out of it. I cannot pretend to be igno rant of that part of those cantos,' which concern myself; but I have felt great difficulty Id deciding, whether, by pee. isig them over in mistime, to Weer the risk of being hereafter messed of having concealed from you something that I ought to have disclosed; or by allurlorg to them, to t imam myself to the thousand miscoostructioes which beret every word spokes of himself by a person connected with active !editing.
