. • iIIBETLIGI OF JO. : TIERNErS FRIENDS. .....isi-- About SOO of the real friends of this Right Hon. Gentleman, Met yesterday, and had a splendid dinner at the London Tavern, Sithopsgatc-street. Mr. SOLOMON DAVIES in the Chair. After dinner, several loyal and ccinstitotional toasts were gives, and several songs followed, al ternately. These toasts were— The King—.the Queen an/ /amity•-thy Prince er Wales ease Cause ut rational Liberty .11 over the Viturld...the la/e -rn/en% Electors of Southwark. Aftdt which, an address to Mr. Tierney was de. livered by Mr. R. H. Newest+. Chairman of that Gentleniau 6 s Committee, and read aloud to the Meeting. Its purport was as follows:—" Sir, Web the ItedtpOdmt floors of Southwark, do hereby assort Too, that wi highly improve of your conduit, during the whole period you have repre sented Mlie Borough, and else during the time you laststooll a Candidate. We not only applaud your integrity, but the attention you have paid to our local interests ; and it is a pleasure to us to refled, that we, as individual Sledors, have not been in strumental in depriving the Borough of such an able and upright Representative. We are convinced, that the welfare of our country is your sole objet ; and, therefore, in whatever pursuit you may be engaged, we S, in the most cordial and sincere anasom. prarfor yews proves*y and welfare." • This address was signed by a great number of **Free and Independent Elettets. The reading of ls was followed by loud Aimee.. and applauses from - alt present. The Cnatasas then proposed Ms Ifrabh of George Twroar, k.:aq. which. as might be expeCted, was drank with enthusiasm, mad followed by loud applause:. Mr. Ti v, who sat on the left of the Chair atan. the, roie, ancladdreased the Meeliog.—" Gen gleams.* said he, " it is now more than 50 years since I fret experienced any difficulty in addri.ssing you, because, I then felt myself an intire stranger, and perfectly untried, and consequently not de- SCI wing of your support. I felt what a man ought to do, in such a situation, who feels a proper sense of his own inferiority. Gentlemen, if at that day I had ell i to ba te le rf to m e r eg t , h e i oi s I n hive y o a f much ail . ittlielsalhheve insi ght", . gieri leas. In stand togiure, as 1 do, I dOtteloly feel very much stf feted. Alt appeasing is the situatioa of a o a de feated caner I still have the same degree of good hummer - pp all occasions I ever evinced. ; and I aft. ben? I 0 perceive, that that good humour is recipeoad, mei such es I have uniformly endeavour. eel to deserve. My felicity is in a great measure re tained, by enyhavingmuch more support, than, milder all circumstances, I originally expeeted. I may say, with truth, th at no candidate in England ever came 'into Parliament as I did; 1 may add, that no candi date ever went out as 1 have done; for, throughout the whole empire, I believe, there never was an in stance of a person going out who was accompanied by the good wishes of so many sincere friends 5 a Lane peOjrortitall of whom I now see around me. il applasass.l I Baid . iald, that I feel 'many grounds of ezelsatiem Can it be doubted, that any maa most feel the greatest degree tf gratitude, when, Burin 10 years of the greatest Parliamentary difficulties, he comes out in such a flattering man ner, after being tried by such an ordeal. I bold that to be a triumph of the highest kind. It certain ly is with the deepest regret that any man must he called upon to avow that he is to be separated from those who have 'hewn him so long, en cor dial, and so sincere a friendship. At the same time that 1 inwardly feel this regret, 1 must say, that I this day shall nut make lamentations. On the con trary. I must express myself boldly, and inform yea that I feel, upoo this occasion, still farther grounds of exulted's. I scorn lamentations. I make no attack upon parties; nor do I envy any man the superiority which be may have gained. I only boat of the manage in which I have been treated. Some apology Is due to you, because, I believe, any other Candidate would have had a better opportu nity of defending your rights end liberties, than what was allowed to me. - I mean, when first I was called on to mod a Candidate, I believe it was know., that one who would not ge through the dm of paying his personal respetts to every Eledor, could not succeed. Under such circumstances, I should think it ettremdinary that I have held so many votes as I did. I warned you, however, of the dangers you were about to incur, and begged you to subsume another Candidate in my place.— lint, so long as the Borough of Southwark thought me a fit person to represent them, so long did I d&- termini never to leave them. I have most faith fully kept my word—l did stand by yaw to the last; and 1 only lament that my stand has not proved more effeltual. tinder all fernier circum stances, 1 felt highly gratified; but, I mist coldest, that. under the present circumstances, I feel still more sot, because 1 have now lied an opportunity of seeiog an address to the EleCtors from Mr. Henry Thointon. IS that address I find that that Gentle man Is pleased to assign reasons Go my losing the EleCtion. Mr. Henry Fharnton, however, would, i think, have done aa well, had he been pleased to assign reasons, shearing bow be came to gain it.— I mean to .:tack no one ; but in that address it is stated, that in the outset I made professions of independence and disinterestedness, which the re sult has by nocr.eans justified. To this he ventures t i attribute the I , as of the eleltion. He should nave told me of this when we were fete to face ; I then might have had a proper opportunity of op posing that charge; or, if I hAd known that it was Inserted in any of tae Papers, previous to the Elec tion being over, I might hevc taken an earlier oppor tunity of noticing it. It has, however, I find, been only Inserted in one Paper ; and in that he says, that 1 have lost the Election by a derelietion of my prin "Pies and former prolecsions. Gentlemen. 1 never .sid profess (and you all know of it), that I should tnr ever declipe the acceptance of an t ffi:e. I have str.:torinly held in the utmost contempt any man 'alio could come forward in the face of his glee:Los, and make such a profession. Ido not know what is meant by a public character, if a public character is not fit to serve the country in every capacity into •viiich he may be celled (!Dail marls of ar...ission). r ; -- ...sstmt, be mean: that I stn Sat is.Japeodenty if I am net in place. before be asserts Ai/ ati si ffie, however, he ought lest to prove, that a man in office is thereby rendered independent, or to prove that one in no office is not independent. It is a thing not quite Unknown in this country, that a man, having no fixed appointment. may still, by various detain, derive to himself con siderable advantage. I believe Mr. Thornton deserve* no such designation. I shall feel more candidly tinier& him thso he does toward. me: shall only endeavour to vindicate myielt ; ana it becomes the more necessary to do so, as it is ay observation which refers to many besides myself. There has gone out a popular clamour, that no one in plate can sit in Parliament, but he (Mr. Thorn ton) of all others, I should have thought, from the general information be possesses, and the known gravity of his character, would not hays lent him self to such a monstreus proposition. It is one which I aver rips up the Rights of England from the roots. Who is it, I would ask, that can be trusted with any one portion of the management of our glorious Constitution, it he be not deemed ca pable of gaining the applause. not only of his Eleflors, but of - every description of his Fellow Countrymen? What perplexes me moat is, that a favourite doctrine of mine is thereby thaown down I have at all times boasted, that whi n you have el:fled a person who has commiited no offeace, you lend him a justification to all his moist& and thereby you evince how cordially may be united the powers of the Crown, with those of the other branches of the Constitution.-1 know of no situation in which a man can he placed, which shows more of the advantages, more of the excel lence and stability of our admirable Constitution. than the one which ends in the appro":ation af the Sovereign. Atter the violence of a popular Elee,oe, I know of no coincidence se striking between the Crown ani the people. Ihave been a striking instance of it myself. When I accepted the 'Freasu,ership of the Navy, I had the good fortune to be returned for ti.. borough of Southwark, and notl,ing gave me snore pleasure than finding the establishment of that deertne which I am now esplaining. That degree of clamour has remained longer than I could have thought. I speak from no iutcrested view ; but I say, that nothing is so likely to give A death blow to the Constitution, as establishing that prin ciple, that popularity is only to be measured by a peesoe's unfitness for of or by his abstaining from it. (Loud endears, ). If such principles be once establi,hed„ yt u will increase the number of Candidates who will say, that they will never ac cept of offices, while, at the same time, they may not be tto do so. The declaration of M-. Titornten. that I have not maintained my in dependence, is untrue. I aver, that I have ever asted as fairly and unequivocally in the House of COM!.:01111, as any ma , ' that ever sat its it.--(..11,rks aveclf, cad apptaurcls.) I have followed my own opinion, as my only role. I have often stood in the way of my own interest. Ea following that opinion. 1 have often too been in the way of fiends wham I loved, and for whom I had the highest tripe& Feeling that I seed fairly and independently, I !rarest not to stand to the consequences. Do you believe there wan any thing is me which could have induced His Majesty to honour me, as he hat done, had it not been my public charaeer ? It was alone the charade? I obtained, by a strict and ho nourable, a conscientious and upright died:ergs of my (hey. Whatever I hue been, and •hatever I am, I was pnt in the way of being made by the free, the public-spirited, the independent Ideflors of the Borough of Southwark.—( Lead ead ecliterated @Awe re apprei trios When Mr. Thornton made that heavy charge against me, I am in hopes he did sot know, that there was not one Member in the House of Cosansons, eelba had refused sa many si tuatiota as I have due. The taking of two places has arisen from lay not thinking it injurious to my character. It I had ant resigned the first office, I should not have had occasion to accept of the se cond. This is whit( I owed to the public, to my constituents. and, what is last, though tot least, to my own charaeler. I shall conclude this sab;sB, by saying, that had not Mr. Thornton made this un founded assertion, had ant such a popular clamour gone abroad, I should r.ever have thought that I needed to enter into such a vindication of my clot rafter or conduft. Gentlemen, we must now, at length, part. It is a hard word to say, but I can as sure you, at the same time, that I can have no objet whatever in keeping up what is called an interest in the Funnies of Southwark. I shall not be charged with showing any want of sincerity, when I say, that I should be blind if I did not think I had pretty substantial means of establishirg it. I feel the ut most regret in parting with such a large body of my friends. During the ten years we have strug gled together, we have, I may very/turf to say. uni formly preserved our good charafters, and.this day, here we are, what we always were, as rood citi zens as are to be found throughout the realm, to support oar Constitution.--14nitheares We have survived ail those storms and turbulent d ays, which, I trust its God, will never be renewed. When the time shall come, when we need to rally round the throae, without any degree of inconsist ency. I may say, that no man shall be so ready as myself to join you in defence of our privileges, and the dearert rights of our country. I shall persevere to weigning all circumstances ; tint contending against the people, vilest' I find that the great por tion Of the pevae are in the wrong. If ever there was a time wh n th- people were cordially united, it is certainly at this pres-nt moment 1 but in whatever sitaation you may be placed, my services shall ever be etrrted for your benefit. Afrplaare) Gentlemen, there as one charge more to which 1 shall allude, and that is, that I had, to a most extravagant event.. employed the inftwace of Onvernment, to secure my Elet ion. It that was in; the event is most ex traordinary Although's:or one of my friends have deseited me, yet I ens not so strong as before. This is surely a very forcible T. 01011 to show that I have not had the utdoetwar of that Ministry, to which I belong; yet. it has be it mid. that the influence of the Crown never was carried so la', at any one per - al, as at this ceetion. The patriots •eao have started up agsiest that all•ged irillue - .es stand rather In a curious piedicament ; because, amongst their trades, there are s.inie who formerly carried the influence of the Crown to much greater extent than ever was before known It is not, however, a thing very , sum ,rural to a:plinth that one per. •- . . • son in *Fat should hare Ilse mistime of anothdr .l hut to say, that should I person holding a sitna l ' tion tint conform himself to that vii.hee oft Minis* tern, he *mild lose that situation, is a thing highly absurd. I defy any man to say, that ever such threat had any inficence mama me. I will not dis guise—it is neither unnatural nor unennsiitutional— it is in the nature of things, that people should ima gine such consequences to result from power. never threatened one MAI% nor exercise.' my autho rity to deprive him of Ms bread, if he deprived tee of his vote. It that was the line I formerly adopted, see how merciful 'thawe been since See hose many cif those who are connefted with Government have aftually vented against me! Nay, this you will find to be twist the ease, even in that quarter whets it is said my influence should most prevail. To us: the word. of an Hnnoerehle &meet, I say, n look at the poll," and tell me where that alleged degree of undue infloence Iles. If any one be found when has lost his Situation. or been deprived of any comfort through such id! toner, then you may say that I have been eiiihy of a dereliaion of principle Whether tie influence of the Crown he too extensive or nit, is a question perfefily inde pendent of what 1 have teen adverting to ; bur, I say, that no person, whatever he his influence with the Crown, should be iejeaed by free and lode pendent Eleaors, unless he has forfeited their esti. 'nation. I, however, stand eatitely above rash 'me i pudent ettatko I am the lover of popular rights, just as Much as ever I was at any one period of my life. I know of no eat thly reason why popular rights should not be happily entwined round the King, and united, as it were. with the preingAtiees of the Crown. It there be any one who can lay claim to having done some good to popular eleftion, I think' I am that individual. 1 believe that the benefit done to the Borough of Southwark has been ex perienced as a subs.enciobaciventeee throughout the whole kingdom. We were the first who gained that battle,of which the whole country have weaped the benefit. I have now no longer the honour of representing vola ; but your rights and liberties are to be maintained by two Gentlemen. whom I have no doubt you will find ounduil themselves with honour, and aft in the manner most congenial to yOur real interests—(Cris of Nu! No! and vow tons of ditopp-olidtion.) Gentlemen, it is most desirable, upon this occasion, that we avoid party selijetts. In the one of your Representatives you have considerable abilities, while, in the other, you have ao irreproachable charedal."

This speech, it is almost needless to say, was followed by universal bursts of applause, and the toast was drank with the utmost enthusiasm.
