Mr. Barry is chosen to re-build the family seat of the Duke of Sutherland at Trentham, in Staffordshire. On Wednesday last, the 18th instant, a Deputation of Gentlemen assembled at Teddesley, for the purpose of presenting to Lord Hatherton a piece of plate, which had been subscribed fur by a numerous body among his late constituents. We believe' every effort had bnen made by Lord Hatherton himself to prevent any demonstration of this description ; but many of his personal and political friends persevered, and the result has been the very mag nificent offering which, on Wednesday last, was placed in his hands. It consists of a very large cup, or vase, sup ported by an oak stem, and embraced by its branches and foliage. On three sides of the base are the arms of the Noble Lord, and the fourth bears the following in scription :—" Presented to the Right Hon. Edward John Lord Hatherton, by a numerous body of the inhabitants of the County of Stafford, as a mark of their esteem, add in testimony of their approbation of his zealous at tention to the interests of the county while representing them in the House of Commons during twenty-three years. 1837.' The vase was presented by a Deputation headed by E. Buller, Esq., M.P., who made a highly complimentary address. Lord Hatherton, in his reply, altogether refrained from political topics, from the consi deration that the gift proceeded from parties entertaining various political views.—Stafordshi e Advertizer. Mr. William Hudson, master of pilot-boat, No. 2, was, some time since, carried away by the brig Euphentia, from this port. Some time after they had been at sea, they fell in with his Majesty's ship Thunderer, who took him on board in lat. 40 20, long. 13 54 W. on the 28th December last. Shortly after, in lat. 42 24, long. 23 21 W., the Thunderer fell in with the bark Grcenhow, also from Liverpool. On board this vessel also, singularly enough, was a pilot, John Hughes, of No. 5, who had been carried away.

Last week the inhabitants of Chertsey were amused, and the usual quiet of the town agreeably broken by the sudden Nwearance of the royal stag York," with hounds and horses. The stag, which was uncarted at Chobham, passed through the rich enclosures at Chobham, Ottershaw Park, Botleys, &c..; they made for this town, passed up Guildford-street, followed by the hounds and huntsmen ; on arriving at the top of the street he made for Chertsey bridge, then turning, he took to the Abbey river, and set his pursuers at defiance by parading about in the waters, which Were out at the time. He was, however, safely caught in the Abbey barn, where he had sought refuge, soon after Mr. Davis had sent the hounds home. New Edition, carefully revi se d, i n 12 mo .

EATING.— Au inquest was held on Saturday at the Rising Sun, public house, Shoemaker-row, Blackfriars, before Mr. Payne, Coroner, upon the body of Thomas Gourlay, a bookbinder, aged 55 years. Mr. Charles Holding, surgeon, on Tues day night was called in to attend the deceased, whom he found labouring under .the effects of some : narcotic drug. Witness administered quantities of warm water to continue the vomiting, which had already :commenced. Other re medies were afterwards supplied, but the deceased expired at eleven o'clock on Weduesdayrnorning. Upon a post modem examination several pills of solid opium, a little softened, were found in the_ folds of the intestines. - Two phials that had contained laudanum were found in the apartment, and alSo a number of pills-of solid opium (about half a drachm) in his snuff box. Witness had no doubt that death was occasioned by an excessive dose of opium. — Verdict—Accidental death, through inadvertently taking an excessive dose of opium. The following is copied from the Obituary of the Society of Friends, for the year ending 1836 ;—" In our as a remar k a ble f eature o f t h e obi last nu m b er we no tic e d, tuary, that of those whose deaths were recorded in it, an unusual proportion had attained• au advanced age ; but in the present obituary that proportion of this class is still greater. Out of rather wore than 200 adults, there arc 90 persons from the age of 70 to 98, presenting an average of full 80 .years ; of these one-fourth are from 78 to 98, presenting an arerage of full :85 years, and 10 arc from 90 to 98, presenting an average of full 94 years." The year 1836 gave birth to 177 new novels in France, and only 11 of these were translations. The num ber otantliors in this line amounted to 144 i of the‘e 40 were debutants ; 27 were females, heing ahout I.sth of the whole., The most celehrate4 names in the list were Alfred de Vigny, and George Sand. The same year brought forth 299 poetical works, among w hi c h Vi c t or Hugo's d eserve d .particular distinction. The drama was not less fertile, as 151 new pieces were represented. Eugene Scribe continued to b,, the most prolific writer in this de partment,—Fo. eijn Quarteriy Review. The Grand Reform Dinner to the Members for the . county (Messrs. Byng and Hume) took place yesterday at Drury-Lane Theatre. The arrangements made for the oc casion were upon the most extensive and most liberal scale. The Chairman was seated at a cross table immediately upon the proscenium on the 0. P. side, extending to the verge of the orchestra on the one band and to the point of the first wing on the other. Three other tables, devoted to the accommodation of the more distinguished guests, ran across the front of the stage in immediate opposition to that occu pied by the Chairman and the county and city Members. On the . right, the raised and boarded pit presented an array of five tables. On the left twelve tables of. ample dimen sious carried the visitors hack to the extremity of the stage, and beyond these a number of other tables, .placed in the passages and ante-rooms connecting the wings with the green-room and dressing-rooms, furnished the means of accommodation La .many who were not fortunate eno ug h to obtain a seat in - closer proximity to the chair. The tables were spread for 1,100 persons, avast number when the limited extent of the house is considered, but utterly con temptible when compared with the multitude who would have been present if stxThcient space could have been pro cured for them. The body of the house needed of course no new or temporary embellishment to add to the splendour of its appearance ; but the arrangements upon the stage called for a display of taste, and we are bound to state that the call was well responded to. From the proscenium backwards the tables appeared to be spread beneath a rich and costly tent, illuminated with many lamps, and blazing at the extremity with jets of gas representing the initials of the King and the floral emblems of the three united coun tries. Above the beads . of the guests floated a number of banners inscribed with various mottos, such as " Byrig and Independence," " Hume and Independence," " Hume, the Friend and Advocate of our Rights," " The People and their Rights," " The Triumph of the People," " The Triumph of Principle," and many others of a like descrip tion. The band of the Coldstream Guards was placed in the slips on the 0. P. side, and a set of glee singers oc cupied the slips opposite. The company began to as semble at about half-past four o'clock, and at the same time the boxes began 'to fill with ladies. In less than an hour the house was completely crowded, and it would be difficult to imagine a more magnificent spectacle than was then presented. Seldom, perhaps, within the same building ,have there been assembled so many loyal and manly hearts surrounded by so much of feMinine elegance and beauty. It was true that the tables' presented :host of potent al lurements, but many a sidelong glance showed that the four dazzling tiers of boxes, in which no male intruder was allowed, possessed attractions stronger than the best vintage or most skilful cook could simply. Some delay arose in consequence of the non-arrival of the Chairman (Lord Russell, eldest son of the Marquis of Tavistock) and for a time his place was occupied by his uncle, Lord Wm. Russell ; but before the dinner was con cluded, Lord Russell arrived, and was received with a shout of welcome. Mr. Byng sat on the right of the Chair, Mr. Hume on the left.. Amongst the persons of distinction present were —Lord William Russell, Sir Ronald Ferg-usson, M.P., Col Thompson, M.P., Mr. Pattison, M.P., Mr. Crawford, Mr. Grow, M.P., Mr. Williams, M.P., Mr. Ward, M.P., Mr. Charles Buller, M.P., Mr. Warburton, M.P. Mr. T. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. WTakley, M.P., Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Tulk, M.P., Mr.Bish, M.P., Sir S. Whalley, M.P., Mr. Lynch, M.P., Mr. Wilks, M.P., Mr. B. Hall, M.P., Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, M.P., Mr. Alderman Harmer, Mr. Ovenden, and a multitude of other gentlemen of Liberal opinions. When the dinner had been concluded, " Non Nobis Do mine" was sung by the professional gentlemen present. Lord RUSSELL then said—l have accepted the office of your Chairman at the irresistible request.of many zealous Reformers, although fully sensible of my own inefficiency. —(" No, no.") However, I venture to hope for your in dulgence on this occasion, as it is my first appearance on the stage before a London audience.—(Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen and friends of Reform ! in both these capacities you will be happy, I am sure, to drink the first toast I have to propose-to you—" The King."—(Cheers.) The toast was drank w►th all the honours and great applause. - 4‘ God save the King" followed. The lines " Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks," alluding to the King's enemies, were responded to with en thusiastic cheers. " The Queen," with three times three. Air, " The light of other days." The CHAIRMAN—I have now to propose the health of the Princess Victoria.—(Cheers.) As heir apparent to the throne I hope she will justify the expectations of the people.--(Great cheering.) The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm ; the company rising and renewing their rounds of applause. Glee—" Hail ,smiling morn !" The CHAIRMAN had next to call upon the company to drink to the health of another member of the Royal Fa mily —one to whom they owed very much of loyal at tachment and regard, not only on account of his own personal character, but also because be had ever proved himself the firm, uncompromising friend of the rights and liberties of the people.—(Cheers.) He proposed to them to drink the health of the Duke of Sussex.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three, and many additional rounds of applause. Glee—" Glorious Apollo." The CHAIRMAN next proposed the Army and Navy, the brave defenders of the country, might they ever prove the best defenders of her liberty.—(Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three, and followed by " Rule Britannia." Sir RONALD FERGUSON returned thanks for the army. Captain DUNDAS, on the part of the navy, assured the company that of that brave body, who were ever ready to defend their country against foreign enemies (and never more ready than at present), at least ono-third was coin prised of those who had been designated as aliens to this country.—(Great cheering.) Lord WlEErim RussEr.r. rose amidst much applause to propose the next toast. He said, I propose to you with cordiality, and I am sure you will receive it with the same, " The Sovereignty of the People."—(Great cheering.) The toast was drunk with the most rapturous applause. After a short pause, . - The CHAIRMAN said—lt now becomes my duty to pro pose to you a toast, to which I feel strongly my own . inabi lity to do justice—l mean the healths of the members for the county, Mr. 13yng and Mr. Hume.—(Rapturous ap plause.) Of Mr. Byng, whose whole life has been de voted to the public service of his country, to the cause of Reform, and to the promotion of civil and religious li berty—(Cheers)—whose highest ambition has been to serve the people honestly, faithfully, and diligently—(Cheers) —and who has succeeded in that wish to the full satisfac tion of his constituents and the whole of the county for lf a century.—(Cheers.) Mr. Byng is now the father of the House of Commons—(Cheers)—with the proud consciousness of having steered the even course of patriot ism from the earliest period of his public life to the pre sent moment—(Cheers)—and of having in the worst times dared to assert the freedom of mankind.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Of your other member for the county, his useful and active popular life—(Great . applause)—his unceas ing efforts in the public cause, his indefatigable industry are so well known - to all, that it would be presumption in me to attempt to estimate them.—(Cheers.) I will, therefore, without further preface, propose to you to drink " The healths of your Representativ es , G eorge B yng and Joseph Hume, Esqrs." The toast was received with the most enthusiastic ap plause, the company rising from their soots and continuing to cheer for many minutes. Glee—" A generous friendship no cold medium knows." Mr. BYNcI rose amidst the warmest plaudits. Lord Rus sell (said be:, I thank you most sincerely for having pro posed my health, and to you, Gentlemen, I cannot suffici ently express my gratitude for the manner in which you have received the toast.—(Cheers.) I have had the ho nour of representing you and your fathers—(Great ap plause)—for nearly half a century—l have lived in event ful times, and my sentiments 50 years ago were more con sonant to the feelings of the present day than they were to the feelings of those whose suffrages at the ceromencement of my career I came forth to solicit,-`..(Near.) When I first came forth, I was about to represent the borough of Newport, but by th Q unex p ec t e d d e ath of my father 1 be came a candidate for the county of Middlesex. The great question that was to come forward early in the ensuing ses sion was to 'be introdueed by Mr. Fox ; that question was the repeal of the Test and Corporation. Acts.---(Cheers.) At that time I found (you no doubt will be surprised at it) that the Dissenters were not sufficiently earnest for the re peal of those obnoxious Acts, whilst their 'opponents were most strenuous to prevent it. I was advised, therefore, not to attempt to come into that Parliament, because it would be imprudent to obtain myself the partial support of one party, whilst should be certain cif' incurring the great hatred of the other. But I then felt, as I ways continued to feel through life, .that I would never sneak into the service of the country by concealing any ' c L;;:l . sit E .li n re th e cared upon to give my opinion upon ant most important one very o f p e i n n , i s o e n ar t s lie,: ite l r l i% . i e a a s r t s i c a fte cheering.) rl%as I I % i v y a a s question, as to whether this country should enter into the war against France. I then found that nine-tenths of the country were in favour of that obnoxious measure. I was against it on principle --(Cheers)--and what is of groat though perhaps of less iinpoitance, of policy also—(Cheers) —because I felt at that time that nothing but foreign inva sion could ever have allowed France to tolerate the atro cious Government that then ruled her destinies.—(Cheers.) A few years afterwards the grand q uestion, as I have a l w a ys felt it to be—th e gran d que Sti on o f Parliamentary Reform —was brought f o r war d by M r . G re y.—(Ch eers ,) • 1 h ave always look e d u p on t h a t as t h e gran d quest i on ; b ut sorry was I to find that the country at that period did not look upon it as a grand or important qirstion.—(Applause.) The next great subject upon which I had to give an opinion was that of Catholic emancipation—(Cheers) —which took near five and twenty years to settle, and which, when granted at last, was not given in the way in which it ought to have been to such a noble and generous people as the Irish.—(Cheers.) Before that question I had to .fight, in 1807, against acry that was raised of " No Poriery"---- (Latighter and Cheers)—and sorry wasi to find that that cry was so strong that Alderman Combo, in the city of London—the Dissenters not having sufficiently made up their minds upon the subject—would certainly have lost his election, if it had not been that his oppoaent, Aide:lrian Hankey,,caught cold and died. But in the county I had the advantage over my opponent of ten days—and in those ten days, by great activity, I had the satisfaction to prose cute my canvsss of the Dissenters, and to point out to then; that if the Roman Catholics were to be crushed, they (the Dissenters) could never expect to be saved.—(Cheers.) By this means I the most triumphant election that ever occurred . to me in any part o f my lif e. —(Ch eers.) Prom that moment, the spirit of independence increased in Mid dlesex ; the Liberal party began to see that they had suffi cient strength to name both the Members—they advanced their cause by degrees, until at length in 1820, they were enabled to realize their hopes, and to return two - Liberal Members to Parliament.---.( Great cheers, and erieeof " - We will Nandi-Me to do so.") Thus we went on until in 1830, a Whig Government came into office, and I had the satis faction—a great satisfa c ti on I assure you it was t o me—to that Earl Grey, t o w h om I had looked up above all other public men after the days of Mr. Fox, entertained, as a Minister of the Crown, the same sentiments with re overn Government has anxiety more tha thantl I m re gard to R e f orm as Mr. - G re y h a d d one upwar d s of forty years ago. Th e R e f orm of Parliament achieved under bins G compensated m c representingforall th y o toil, u. trouble ,c ia o s•e had in It has been the means of introducing other useful and need ful Reforms—a Reform of the corrupt "Corporations of England and an abolition of negro slaver-•.—(Cheers;) Thus, as far a s E ng la n d i s ' concerned, with the indepcsndenc e she now possesses, I am perfectly satisfied'; but Pot 'so With regard to I re la n d.—(Gr eat cheering.). Irela . rad must and will have justice.—( Reiterated cheering.) . I have been taunted and a s k e d, " Wh at d o you mean .by justice ?" The question is easily answered. I say, Ireland must be put upon an equal footing with Englo•nd in every respect.— (Great cheering.) Till that be d'ane, we cannot expect her attachment, nor are we worthy of receiving it.—(Continued cheering.) Gentlemen (salt). the venerable Member, with strong emphasis), so cert:ain am I that Ireland must and will receive justice, that, were I ten years younger, I might hope to live to see it. I might hope to see the time when no questions shnuld be asked whether a man were an Irish man or an Englishman, a Roman Catholic or a Protestant. - -(Loud and lone-continued cheering.) Having stated the number of years ehave served you,. cannot .expect to •serve you many years longer.—(Cries 'of " We hope you, will.") If . I were t o s t u d y my own feelings, I certainly should wish to retire.—(Cries of " No, dn."). But I will only add, that if you cannot find a candidate professing the same principles as myself, and attached as strongly to them, I wili then sub mit to your wishes, and consent to die in harness.—(Euthu siastic cheering.) Mr. HumE then rose, and was received with the most enthusiastic applause. When the cheering had subsided, the Hon. Gentleman addressed the assembly in the follow ing terms :—My Lord and Gentlemen, I cannot hope to make so great a claim on your consideration as my Hon. Colleague, who can number a half century of years in your service. —(Hear, hear.) I can number only a quarter of a century in the public service ; but I have endeavoured to make up for the deficiency by working double tides.— (Loud cheers and laughter.) I hope in that way our ser vices will be fairly weighed by our constituents:—(Cheers.) The applause with which you received the toast given by Lord William Russell, " The Sovereignty of the People," was most cheering, and the proposition of such a toast does honour to the family of that Noble Lord.—(Cheers.) The Russells have suffered in the cause of freedom. Gentlemen, the present meeting I look upon not as intended to .flatter the feelings of any particular individual, but as one intended to promote a great public principle.—(Loud cheering.) The people of England, from one end of it to the other, arc looking with the greatest anxiety to the course which is to be followed by their representatives in the next Ses sion of Parliament,—whether they arc to reap the full bene fit of, and have all those fruits which they flattered them selves were to be obtained by a Reform of Parliament or not ? I have stated the triumph of principle on the part of my Hon. Colleague, but although he can number many years of public service beyond what I have seen, yet in my short time events have occurred, which neither he nor I ever ex pected to witness. There is only this difference between him anti me—he says he is satisfied with the Reform Bill, I ant n0: , ..--(Enthusiastic cheers.) lam pleased with what we have obtained since 1830, but, I ask you, is that any reason why we should not look for more ?—(Long conti nued cheers.) The present occasion is one of immense importance ; it is a crisis for good or for evil ; and it is on that point that I ant most anxious to address you.—(Hear, hear.) We have now a Government fortunately put to a certain extent into the hands of the people, and into whose hands it cannot be more safely or more properly entrusted, provided they will only do their duty honestly and fairly.— (Cheers.) Let us, then, henceforth have no complaints against the people or their representatives for not doing their duty ; complaints which have hitherto been too often well founded.—(Cheers.) I have reason to believe we shall progress. Every hour tells me of the triumphant progress of the good intelligence and sound knowledge of the coun try.—( Cheers.) W e h ave arrayed against us a great, a combined, and a most influential party— a party who, for a century past, have fattened on the spoils of the Govern ment—(Tremendous cheers)—who have grown rich on the public taxes, and have acquired such notions of their own importance by long possession, as to look down on you and me as so many licentious innovators, whom they have denominated by all sorts of names. But it is because they have unjustly held what they never ought to have had, it is because they have held what their title deeds will not support—(Cheers)—it is on that ground that I ain anxious, Radical Reformer as I am.—(Tremendous cheers, and much laughter, amidst which the close of the sentence was inaudible.) I wish with all my heart we bad only two terms of designation—that of Reformers and anti-Refor mers ; and I have no doubt w shall before long come to that. We shall then be Reformers of various shades, pro ceeding some to one extent and some to another ; but there is no reason upon earth why we should not all agree upon general principles—(Here the company expressed their as sent, by prolonged cheering)—in opposition to the Tories. —(Renewed cheers.) I cannot conceive how any honest man in the country can hesitate as to the course he shall take between the question of supporting the Reformers or the Tories.—(llear.) As to the Tories, what have we to expect from them ? We are told by the Right Hon. Ba ronet, the late Tory Premier—( Loud laughter) —nay, gen tlemen, do not interrupt me—(Renewed laughter)—for it is important to regard what has fallen from the lips of the champion of Conservatism as to the course the Tories will pursue, the views they entertain, and the anticipations which they indulge in with respect to their own future fortunes. —(lleat, and laughter.) He tells us, in a tone of confi dence, that he expects very soon to regain that station front which he was so signally rejected.—(Laughter.) He pro phecies that that will be the result of the ensuing session.— (Laughter.) He prophesies—l beg the attention of gentle men to this—a second time success to his party front the disunion of the Reformers.—(At this announcement the cries of " Hear, hear" were most earnest and long conti nued throughout the assembly.) You know that the Go vernment of my Lord Melbourne was aismissed in no very courteous manner in November., 1831, and you know that the Right Hon. Baronet the Member fur Tamworth presided over the ephemeral Government that succeeded. You know also tl - ,tt the Might Hon. Baronet, with all the acquirement 7, and talents he possessed, en deavoured to sustaie, single-handed, his station. Yes, he most unquesi:onably was left to act single-handed in the Hausa or commons to maintain his situation ; but you all likewise know that we, the Reformers, held together and expelled the Right Hon. Baronet front office.— (Immense cheering.) On what ground, then, I ask, can he expect a second time to attain office on account of the differences arising between the advocates of re form ? I have only this to say, that I believe a gross Misunderstanding has gone abroad as to the differences be tween Reformers.—(Lo u d cries of "Hear.") I believe that it will turn out that the Right Hon. Baronet has pro phesied a second time in vain, and that he will not benefit much from whatever differences may be among Reformers. I know no Reformer, however ultra he may be, whO is not. determined to keep out the Tories if he can.—(Loud, and universal cheering.) We have nothing to expect from them but evil—(Cheers)—whil e we can harenothing from With/ a Liberal Go vernment b ut goo d.—(L ou d cheers.) NEW WORK BY TIIE LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.
