Cave ; M.P. and Lord Nugent, M.P. Mr. Powell aeted as Vice-President. The cloth hating been removed, the CHAIRMAN lOs e and proposed the usual loyal toasts. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, e I have now to prop ose a toast, upon w hi c h , a f ter ~iiavnig - named it, I s h a ll f ee l i t necessary to make a letv O bservations. The toast which I mean to sub it to you . is—" A free, fair, and full Representa tion of the People in Parliament."—(Applause.)— This is neither to you nor to'me a new question. It i s . net a new question to Englishmen, for it was master of dis cuss i on upwards of e century ago; it ; v agitated , in what I may ca ll t h e b est da ys o f irec 'nit••-4 mean in the reign of the Stuarts—l do 11°t say the b est dap of freedom, because of the laws which then exist e d, b u t b ecause o f t h e great numb er of great men, who. at that period, sPII- pathi sed with and stood for' ward as the advocates hand supporters of the rights of the people.—(Hear, ea r .) - e-Befo re t h e R evo l ut i on o f 1688, some of the ht Men of the country advocated Reform in Parlia.• )ue "t ; but that event appears to have operated as an ° P i ste upo n t h e great personages of the time and on the twenty succeeding years: during which period no step toward Reform was either taken or pro- i Posed. Indeed it was not until forty or fifty years ago that the subject was fairly brought under the consideration of Parliament.

STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to be able to confirm ths improvement noticed in our last in the state of trade. The sales of printing cloth and other calicoes have this wed: been very considerable; and many buyers have been anxious to extend their contract for twist, to which, however, at current prices, spinners have been ra ther disinclined. There is still a somewhat improved de mand for fustians, and fancy gingham are also in fair re quest. The calico printers' likewise are busier than they have been. Fancy cambrics, &c., we believe are dull ; the lateness of the spring having operated to reduce the demand for them. The Manchester houses in London, we hear, have been very bu.y for two or three weeks past, and in consequence several, who were in this market about that time ago, have this week been down again. The pur chases for the German markets continue large ; and the accounts from India are decidedly encouraging. The storks of goods and twist were / much reduced ; prices had improved, and there was little dou'it that any thing then on the way would arrive to a satisfactory market. From t h e B raz ils, also, we arc informed that the advice. are somewhat better than fur a considerable time past. A good extent of business is doing to the United States, though the present is not the time of year at which the heaviest shipments are generally made.—ma rre h es t ee Guardian.

We do not know one. Her reception on Monday evening was, as on former occasions, of the roost flattering description. The first piece, Home, Sweet Honw, afforded her but little opportunity for the display of her powers ; it is a flimsy production, scarcely worthy of criticism, having little else to recommend it but the music, which, though pretty, is neither striking nor nove!. It however gave Miss FOOTE occasion to wear one of the most elegant specimens of Swiss gala cos tume we have ever seen, and also to sing two or three songs with extreme sweetness. In the farce of the LittleJoekey, Miss FOOTE was qaite at home, and site absolutely delighted the audience. Her elegant, figure, dressed in the jockey attire, must have been -quire captivating to the ladies, and her singing " The boy in yellow wins the day," was full of that naivete which gives so great a charm to all she does. She executed the dancing castanet song, " Oh remember the time," with extreme sweetness, taste, and grace, as was loudly acknow ledged by the universal encore which followed it.— On Tuesday evening Miss FOOTE played Beatrice, in Much Ado about Nothing, in the most spirited and lady-like stile ; and by her admirable per formance of Priscilla Tomboy, in the farce of The Romp, gave most agreeable proof of the range and versatility of lier talents. the plays this evening Olivia, in A Bold sba'w for a Husband, and Va riella, in The Weathercock, and to-morrow evening she takes her benefit and her farewell, on which oc casion the House is expected to be a bumper.

On Saturday afternoon there were no Epsom Races, no sailing matches, nor, indeed, any thing that cnul:l yield more attraction than is usual at this pleasurable season, end, consequently, the fa.bionable menthers of the Rol l:nine Shooting C!ub, who did not eLoot at all in thp for mer part of last week, returned to their sport with re doubled ardour. A Sweepstakes of :3001. was shot by the Hon. Colonel Amon, Captain Ross, and Mr. Osbaldision, at twenty-five double shots each, with five traps, at the distance of forty wards. The terms of this match, which it will be seen were extremely dinicult, and called for a great display of science, rendered the competitors anxious to have the honour of g, anti we hav e no d ou b t b ut t h at each g,entleman exerted himself to do his best.

Captain R9ss, however, shot heautifully, and made several surprising double shot% which were the only ones killed dui log the mates. The betting on the Gold Cop still continues in Lis favour, although Mr. °shahEs top, who did not shoot very well at the commencement of the sea'on, has greatly redeemed his well-known reputation by this snatch. Lieut. Sisou, and the crew of the late Myrtle packet-brig, lost on the Ragged Island, near Hali fax, in Aprjl last, have been brought to England in the Plover packet, and are ordered to this pert, where, it is believed, they will be tried by a Court Martial,ffor the loss of that vessel.

The grand rowing match, on Wednesday next, between the Oxford. and Cambridge Universities, excites great at tention; it is for 500 guineas a-side, and will take place at eix o'clock in the evening. The water selected is the fine sheet extending from Hen'ey-bridge to Hambledon mills, in the elthe vicinity of the Abbey of Medmenham.— There is scarcely a bed now to be h a d in Henley. Onc of the boats arrived on Wednesday, and it is of singularly light construction. Oxford, which is 22 miles from Hen ley, will be almost emptied of her sons. At present bet ting is in favour of Cambridge. There is now a covey of partridges in a ground at the 13 tek of th e house of th e flay .

W a v rtre a s , about p t E h S re T e ß o U 'el C o T ck l , V a E n alarm i 4.l fire broke ester dayl) rok bookseller and stationer, No. 20, Charles-street, Maryle bone, nearly opposite the Middlesex-hospital. At the above hour the watchman on duty in \Veils-street observed a quantity of smoke rising above the houses in Charles street, and soon discovered that it proceeded from the workshops in the rear of Mr. WALTHERSIB house at the back of Wells mews. The alarm soon became general in the neighbourhood, which was rendered greater by the re coleetion of the recent destructive fire at the Bazaar, and the inha!iitants of the adjoining houses, and the poor people in the Mews, commenced removing their goods, and men, women; and children, were to be seen running in all direc tions, many of whom were in a state of nudity. 'lt was nearly half an hour Ware the engines arrived, during which time the fire Was raging with the greatest intensity. At length the British, Protector, and Alliance engines ar rived in quirk succession, and a good supply of water being obtained, the firemen played with great effect on the de vouring element, and in the course of hdf an hour the fire was got under. Mr. WALTHERS was out of town at the time the fire happened, but there were several lodgers in the house, who fortunately made their escape. The work shops, in which were a quantity of valuable books in sheets, and valuable bindings, stationery, stamps, and other property, were entirely destroyed. The back part of the house was also consumed ; the front remains uninjured. It was for some time supposed that a person had perished in the flames, as a young worn ,n was observed in front of Charles-street, calling on the bystanders to save a lodger in the second floor back room ; but, on inquiry, it was ascertained that the lodger had narrowly escaped unhurt. It is not known how 1 he fire originated. On Saturday morning, about three o'clock, as three house-breakers were attempting to enter tke pre mises of Mr. NIiWCOMF, a tradesman, residing - in Web ber-street, one of them was severely wounded in the shoulder in the attempt. At the hour above-mentioned the proprietor of the house hearing rather an incessant noise ❑nder his chamber window, got out of bed, and having armed himself with a loaded pistol, threw up the sash, and on looking out observed that one of the shop window-shutters way taken nut. At the same mom e nt he beard a whistle, after which be saw a man run across from ti:e direction of his premises, whom he fired at and wounded in the shoulder, for the it:stant the weapon was discharged, the man uttered an exclamation, and placing his hand upon the part where it was probable he was shot, darted down a narrow street, followed by two other men whom Mr. NEWCOME distinguished standing nearly typo- • site his house, apparently watching there, in the event of a surprise. The owner of the house lost no time in pur suing the thieves, who ran off in the direction of the New cut, but missed thee► altogether. On his return back, after havin m e. been absent neui lv three quarters of Lit hour, he observed two men close to his house, approaching the spot where a quantity of snuff-boxes, taken from his shop window by the thieves, were thrown away by them. The moment he saw the men, lie strongly suspected them to be the fellows he had previously see❑ standing opposite his house, and accordingly, with the assistan ce of the watch man, took them into custody. The prisoners, whose names are PoarEa, and Mar, were taken before the magistrates of Union-hall in the course of Satutdsy, and both being known as reputed thieves, were committed for three months each to Guildford gaol. No tidings have been since beard of the wounded man. SPAR!`!' OF THE LW...1)W%, JOUBSALS - • It has been fairly remarked by an evening eon temporary, that the expected contest for the county of Louth exhibits in a very satisfactory light the justice of those reasonings which have always re commended emancipation as the surest remedy fm that corporate spirit which seemed to have in fluenced the Irish Catholics during the last ten or a dozen years. A member of the Bellew family stands on the interest of his ancient' house, and has en gaged in its cause a considerable portion of the aris tocracy of the county. He is opposed by—who m ? Another Catholic!—Mr. Sheil, who appeals against the feuds! or hereditary sympathies which form the text of Mr. Bellew's addresses, and pleads his own eminent personal services to the cause of religi ous freedom in Ireland as • the grounde—and there are no grounds more just or honourable—of his constitutional ambition. Here, then, we can surely find no evidence of that rancorous, inveterate, and indissoluble league among Papists of all parties, for the overthrow of our Protes:ant State. There is. here no verification of the bigot prophecy, that the priest would summon and array around the altar the Catholics of every tree, interest, and profession, for the attainment of objects exclusively and direcely Popish. In the very moment of the legislative authority being granted to them, these. priest ridden Catholics fight amongst themselves, like so many thorough-bred Protestant tigers, for the ho-, tour of kicking behind them that system of Popish onfederacy to which it had been anticipated hi the enemies of emancipation that such a measiil add irresistible and fatal power. Nothing cail more satisfactory than this—we do not say to a di::: putant upon the question of religious liberty, but— to every honest and generous well-wisher of his country. It was in the nature of things that a com mon grievance should bind together all upon whom it pressed. Priest and layman, rich and poor, the man of ancient lineage, and the Man of talent, whom Providence had fitted to be the founder of a new name,—it was inevitable that such diversified victims of single persecution should fed alike under the brand which seared and stigmatized them . : it was equally indubitable that when the wooed should be healed, and the spot skinned over, they would lose the sole memento for mutual recognition. The town of Wexford presents the influence of the same great principle under another form. In Louth the Catholics are divided in a quarrel between mem bers of their own faith. In Wexford they ate equally divided; but it is between Protestant can didates. - The two families Loftus and Neville had in a former instance kept Wexford a eibt,C acid eomfortable borough ; they have now set their respective candidates—Sir R.. and Sir E. Dering. The electors are split, like the previous patrons of the borough, not into Protestant and Catholic, but into Neville and Loftus; no thought or symptom of re religious difference having connected itself with a contest which it is hoped will end in the general release of the borough. In fact, we are given to understand from all quarters that there is no longer - a separate Catholic interest in any part of frelatill, except perhaps in Clare alone, where a hardship (for such we are bound to say we consider it) bed been inflicted on Mr. O'Connell as a Catkolic, and where the end of his present effort is to restore him to a station from which he had been, on account of his religion, Cisplaced. There it seems not at all unlikely, that if any opposition be offered to Mr. O'Connell's return, he will be supported in the same spirit, to the energy and- predominance of %vh;ch he owed his original election. We therefore trust that no such unfortunate expedient for resusci tating the quelled flame of religious warfare will be resorted to by any adverse interest in that county. We have often blamed the extravagance. of (Mon hell's measures, and shown up, when they deserved it, the eccentricities and weaknesses of his public . character; but we will say that his services entitle him to a seat in Parliament, and that good policy would admit him to it, if liberal feeling did not. Since writing the above, we observe that Sir R. Wigram has been returned for sVexford.—Timese The speeches of some individuals in a certain as.; semblv, last Thursday evening, were in a more thee common degree characteristic of the several speakers. Whether it was the approaching prorogation which led to so large an is.ue of absurdity, or the hot wea ther which persuaded limiouratile Gentlemen that . bottled nonsense would not keep until another ses. sion, truth it is that few such fielcbdays have occurred , in Parliament since the reign of poor Vunsittart and his arithmetical vagaries. A debate on the cur rency would have tormented its a few years ago, but now it is become simply a farce. Mr. Brougham, we believe, unwittingly gave rise to one upon the joint themes of the " currency" and commerce, in presenting a petition from a body of manufactureits at Birmingham, the object of which was, in sub stance, a return to the good old nostrum of a Bunk Restriction Act. We beg pardon of the petitioners if we have mistaken their meaning; but if they mean not to prescribe an exclusive paper medium, they meant nothing; \lllicit .last it might be thought almost uncivil to impute to them. As there is much virtue in a courageous preface, the Bir mingham gentlemen begin by stating that the re storation of the standard has raised the debt of the kingdom to 1,600,000,0001., and the annual taxes to above 100,000,000/, This is awful even in round, and though there be nothing but sound in it. They call upon Government to establish such a - standard as " shall raise the price of labour, and at . the same lime give vigour to the manufacturing in terests." We can only say, that if they can pro duce both these effects at the same time, and by a single measure,ltis Majesty's present Cabinet must contain more conjurors than their best friends, and ourselves among the number, have ever seriously • dreamed of. The petitioners will not admit that there is or has been any over-trading, " ever-pre doetion, oz over-population:" all which may probably be answered by saying, that if there had been no over-trading through excess of paper, such a multi tude of bankers as well as merchants would not have failed within these three or four years; if there had not been over-production, the goods fabricated wonki have been sold, and more would have been ordered, neither of which is the ease, as the petitioners them selves inform us, because the very gist of their com plaint is stagnation ; and thirdly, if there were not - an over-population, compared with the numbers of hands which can find work, why should silk-dealers, and cotton-dealers, and dealers in Birmingham wares, cry out so clamorously about their being unable to employ the whole of the journeymen who were be. fore in their service ?—and why are the poor-rates so heavy? So much for the petitioners. Now for their supporters. Mr. Benett declared that the farmer was now obliged " to sell double the quantity of produce to pay his rent and taxes, than it was formerly necessary for him to do in order to meet those current " demands." The gentleman, therefore, must be prepared to assert-Ist, that corn fetches only half the price it used to do, whereas the farmer now re ceives for it a sum which, in the depreciated paper currency of the year 1810, would be about .51. per quarter: it is also certain that the taxes at this mo ment payable are not double what they were during the ‘var, nor, indeed, at all greater, but, even allow ing for the difference between gold and paper, some thing less than at the former period. Then if it he true that the farmer is forced to sell twice what he used to do of wheat, to pay rent and taxes jointly, awl since it is true that taxes have somewhat, though not sufficiently fallen, Mr. Benett must, 2dly, be prepared to admit that rents are more than double what they had been : the remedy for which evil, we beg leave to suggest, is not to be required from Parliament, but .front the landlords. Next conit Alderman Waldman, with a huge reinforcement of sturdy and obsolete errors, one of which we shall exhibit as a sample of the whole. The worthy Alderman assures us gravely, that the export of British manufactures had fallen off, since the year, 1 - i9B and 1799, about 97 per cent.—that is to say, that if in 1798 they had been 100,000,0001, they
