On Thursday last a public dinner was given by the inhabitantirof Sheffield to Earl FiTzwraLtaar, to tes tify- their reapeet for:the many, Virtues of that venerable Noble man, and then' sense of the important services he had rendered that town: by a residence of upwards of seventy years in its vici nity. The great difficulty of the Cornmittee of Management was, to provide in Sheffield a room large enough for the recep tionof the crowd of persons of the first respectability in tie town' and neighbourh ood ; who had expressed an anxiety to be present on the eceaiiott. The Assembly-room was at length fixed upon ; but before the-arrangements were corapleted, the application for tickets liecarnese numerous, that all hope was abandoned of being able to accommodate a lli the applicants. — The entertainment was provided .tor IEO, besides invited gurats ; about 200 ho wever, obtained atOrnisaion, and although the price of the tickets was only one guineas` each, five, and even ten guineas were ineffectually offered in-the course of the day, fora transfer of the names of some of these who had early secured marked plates, and a permisaion to occupy thei,r seats. In the list of the company assembled on ;this OCC33IOTI were the names of the most respectable inhabitants of Sheffield of every pc. lititral party, who gladlylaid aside all points of minor cif. ference tilhete of public respect to th , s vene• rable neig ur. . It had been' arranged that several' Oen:lei - nen of the Cott. mittee, and a number of other inhabitents, should meet his Lordship - upon his.entrance fete the town from Wentworth house. A hand of music, and several trades' henna's, were therefore provided for that purpose ; but Earl Fitzwilliain dis appointed the formal display of so much respectful attention, by entering the town with his family in his usual manner. Being recognized near the Tontine Inn, where be alighted, he was loudly cheered by the crowd which had collected to corn pose and witness the more ceremonious eseert intended for his reception. The venerable Earl seemed much affected" by time universal marks cf public respect of which he was the object. He was accompanied in his carriage by the Countess Fitzwilliam. Lord and Lady Milton, and their eldest daughter, arrived at the same time. The Ladies remained at the Tontine Inn until the principal guests left it for the Assembly-rooms. Constables were arranged to keep a line of communication open between the Tontine and the rooms : the Chairman, Stewards, tend princh pal inhabitants escorted the Noble Earl t., the Assembly-rooms. A sort of triumphal arch was constructed, formed of mail rods, in . front of the Assembly .rooms : an Earl's coronet, and the letters W. F. (Wentworth fitzwilhain ) surmounted the arch, and were at night brilliantly illuminated with frets,The pillars in front of the building were entwined with laurel branches, and the interior of the aparueent was also suitably decorated. Earl Fitzwilliam was conducted into the ante-room by Air. Hugh Parker, the chairmen for the dingier, and 'sueces sively inttoduceil to several of the inhabitants who were assem bled to cherish his worth. COlonel' Fenton then made the ar rangements for the adinission of company into • the principal room, and after the Stewards had conducted the principal gueetsao the; scats, the names cf time remaining company were Called over; and each gentler:nun entered in his turn to the seat provided:for his acconnOtiation. Eatl Fitzwilliam sat on the right' of the chairman, and near hirn sat Lord Milton, the Hon. F. Ponsonhy, W. Ramsden; 51. P. Mr. Lowe; Mr. Maude, the Barrister, and another Gentleman ' who formedahe party that accompanied the Nobleliar. from Wentwerth.liouse. Sir Mow' Sitwell, Mr. Fullerton, and many other gentlemen of consideration, were also present. At half-past four &chick the dinner was served up. After the cloth was removed, the Chairman gave the following toaste " Tie King, and long may he reirn," (Drank with three. times three. }.-.Tuns, " God' save the King. • ' - " The Duke of York and the Artily. Tune, " The Dake of York's March." " The Duke of Clarence and' Navy." Tune--" Rule tannia." a t . h p:lit ... ls The C3IAIRNIAN then rose and said, that at different ha eren of his life, and under pectliar cireittnstance; h honour of taking the char 'enemy them ; and though he hul ever been anxious properly to appreciate, the pertuelity with which. they were accustomed to con alder his efibris,' he could assure them that on Many occalione he hid obeyed the dictated of duty rather than those of oleaeure, in accepitng the reapon. Bible, and perhaps he might add the invidious, distinction which their kindness had conferred upon him. He was not, however, overstating his feelings when he declared that he re joiced above measure in being placed in his present honourable situation ; for what stronger testimonial of their regard to wards him could be evinced, than the present declaration of. their opinion that he was worthy to be the organ of the hospitality of the inhabitants of Sheffield-AO their illustri ous visiter—Earl Fitzwilliam ?—(Cheers.e—He confessed that he laboured under considerable embarrassment in intro. clueing to their notice their estimable and venerable neigh , bour ; but his embaiTassnient upon this occasion did not arise from the ordinary sources of embarrassment to pub ' lie speakers. In many, and indeed he might say in the majority of cases, men forbore to dilate on the virtues of thole whom' it *as their business to eulogize, because they had nothing to commend ; and so, to tiler a pretended intentional abetinence from elOquence, gioSsed over the isidignificance of those whom they found it inindisible to praise. His tentneerait. mtent was not of that description°, because whatever he might say of Earl Fitzwilliain Must fall short of the hOnest. truth.— ((teem )—/e his intridectorv . remark*, therefore, be should rather endeavour tieSubstentia . te fiete than to waste their time and indulgence in'idle and unnecessary Compliments.--(Hear!) —He celicii euatt thern to exemine the lists where the arts of gerierhue philitrithrog Were registered—he called upOn them to inquire into the d rent causes of the improved condition ef their town ut'ShelEeld—and then he would ask theni to whom did they owe the most iMPortent; the most unincumbered, and the must disinterested oblig,etions ? He knew that to such a question their answer would be unenimous. and he was quite sure, from the long period during which they had wished to have his Lerdship invited among them, that they %veal reply that the greatett as well as , -the oldest benefactor was Earl Fitzwilliarre— e (Greet cheering.) e —Was there any esta blishment, Was there any institution in their to wn, which bad for its object humanity and kindness , that did not owe to his Lordship great part of its . prosperity ?—(Cheeri.)—Ede. cation, commerce,' all and every thing that tended to ht. prove and benefit mankind, bore him out in the toesertion, that among the NObled of this highly favoured land, among the ancient aristocracy of England, there wag no one that did higher honour to the high station in which it had pleased Providence to place him, than the preient illusttious head of the House of Wentworth.--(ApPlause.)—For his own pert he would rather have—and he trusted tnat in stying so they would hot ;smile hint of flattery, which was foreign to his heart and dispoeitiun—he would rather have the self'-apprevel which must attend on a well.epent life like Earl Fitzwillisun`a, than the proudest of all the titles which earthly power could bestow upon him.—(Cheete.).--iktitong the nobility, theit illustrious visitor of that day was one Who had never forgotten the manifold duties which his high rank entailed upon him, nor the great purposes which it was intended to promote; and whose unitorm conduct for' a long series of yeaze proved'his thorough conviction of the truth., that abstract elev.:ion, though h might dazzle, could not of itself attract affection or conciliate prejudice.-(Cheere.)—Under a firm persuasion that their ve nerable neighbour had always studied the public good in pre. ference to his own, be would boldly say, that during a long life, of which the retrospect Was filled with events the most dreadful and the most appalling, in which his Lordship had been at. one time high in office, and at another respectable in op position, he ,had always been actuated by the great prin. cuples of private honour and publie virttie.—(Leud cheers.) —He (the Chairman) was" not plead in the distinguished situation which he then tilled for the petpoee of advocating any particular opinion, or of intenupting the utianimity of the meeting by, eavressing his feelings on tile public life of Earl This, however, he would say, for he WWI sure that th iniath eywOuld all. with •one voice agree in the truth of it—that the virtues which adorned Earl Fitzwilliain in private, had not deserted hint in public life, but that he had followed the same honest, indepehdent, and disintereeted line of conduct, whether, as in the times of revolutionary France, he supported the arm of pewer—(Cheers}--or as now, in these more peaceful times, he looked with t jealous eye on the ,actione of Admitistration. (G rea t cheering.)—He wonld not tN!zAiti them any hooter in propteting t h e present toast : fur it was utifiecessary to eulogize a man whose rank had pliced him above many, and his bone. all ; —whom Providence had placed i v f l e en e rees 6 ti bD s ituation, and had Ofud with wealth and acmuplish. mend, from which eminent advantages could be secured en his coon Y a nd who had so huihanded: 'that wealth and those tr, plishments that nobodyecould wish :to 'see them placed in better better h a nds.—(Cheers:) --The greet possessions which for bad bestowed upon him , he used a, if he merely held tune SU N.: F. /k 1:~ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1823. them as a teuette for the bertefit Of , his contemporariea ; and as unostentatious liberality nlwayocarrieti with it its own reword, he might now be pmnohnoed ait happy as the attachment of his friends and the veneration of his tneeritere could possibly Wake any human being.--(Cheere.)-fle again apologited.fir encroachingupontheir attention : he allowed:that it was utt-. nicessery, for he had been intredheing to their notice a noble. man, who stood, in need of 110 introdoction e and whose domesti cation among them was first toinmeneed by deeds of active charity and benevolence, and Lad latterly been more fully rat!- tied by the exertions of his s on, whom they had elected as one of the repreeeneetiVert of their smportant county.--(Cheers.)-- For three successive Parliarnente the eon of their venerable ,seer illustrious guest had repremeted this stipulent district of Beg lithd ; and without alluding at all to the political opinions of Lord Milton, he must. be permitted to bear his testimony to the many valuable services which his Lordship had had the good fortune of rendering tir:bis conetituentae-(Cheers.)

Wheaa therefore, brigieter prospects were opening for the spectilations of trade, and when thoile absurd and impolitic restrictions, by which it had been so long controlled, were crumbling into nothing under the more genial influence of tnadera legislation, it muet be. a consolation for the cohntY to know; that no man studied the subject with more rare and less prejudice than their representative, the illustrious heir of the house of Fitzwilliani. With these prelirainary, and per. haps .unnecessary observations, he should rehueet leave. to gyve them as a toast, their high-minded, patriotic, and venerable neighbour, Earl Fitrwilliam, and to beg leave that they would drink-ins health with three times three.--(lmmensetheering.) , The venerable Earl :hen rose amidst the warmest greetings, and returned thanks for the hod our which the company beet just done him. He :mid he should indeed be unworthy of the high honohr which was on that day con ftored upon him, if he did not acknowledge that he was entirely oppressed endover-- whelened by this mark of their respect tt%..i cohsideretion. This, however, was hot the first-time that he had had the pleasure of meetieg the inhabitants of Sheffield on a public . occasion, and he Yetis itiways gratified by such an oechrrence. Though he saw. many gentlemen' around him much advanced. in years, he thought he might sty that none of them had known the town of Sheffield so long as himeelf: it was in the year 1751 or 1763, that he first had the honour of an introduction to its in habit Ants, by his revered and beloved relative the late Marquis of Rockingham.' Eft had then been introduced by him at the An. mud dinner of the cutlers'-feast; that, however, Was not ell which hie revered uncle had done for him. Ink 734, under circurn. started which had prevented Lord Rockingham from attenditig in person, he sent him amongst them to act as his representative; and in contiouation of the tonnexion so formed between him (Earl Fitzwilliana) and the people of ShefEeld, he had ever since been tiononred with invitations to that tinnual feast.- (Loud Cheers.)--The lamented death of. his Noble Relative., which imposed upon him , the duty of presenting himself to their notice as the successor, not to his departed relative's vir. Cues or influence, but to his local connection among them, drew closer the ties of intercoorse and friendship whichhad previoas -17 arisen between them. He had had the miefortune of prema turely succettlieg a man, who, to the diernayan&afiliction of all around bin:, end - especially of thole wile had the'happinese of a done alliance with his family, was. cut e at a period of life, when. acton:,ing to all Loners es!culttion e he had a right to look deroaed to a long.dirte: etdolle hauliers :to them his lose .as Itldfred severe, sand fr , ,y to them, Out also to his edittnnty, which long and deeply lamented it... step ;g wits the yeeeration which he tilt feo the memory of so dear a relative, that even at this distance cf time he could not speak on him without partiality and effehtion. The career of his virtues, closed upor h hie country in 1 7 !32, but his example still lived brightly irethe :page of. history, and would be re membered as lone as public virtue and unspotted integrity commanded the respect of menkind. It had been his lot, as he hail bzfore observed, to sheeeed ereinaturelydo such a man, and he had ever since been the neighbour of me inhabi. tants of Sheffield. When he said the neighbour, he spoke of if neighbour were viewed in its proper social sense ; he did the alerest connelaion which could•exhit bats ren mar. and man. not evneider the moral influence of neighbourhood as rec. itij rititely upon mere locality, but upon the performance of thoseretipeocal duties as members of the community, svhich one Irian had the power Cif 'conferring, and another the right of eleiming lit his hands.- Th t p e n& of tiloffield had as claim upon hie antsideration, not "dem from ureximity of residence, but because they were men imbued with feelings like himself; arid it was on that account diet he felt toward* them the good 'will and affhetien which he was taught to feel as the bt.at "source from which he could derive instruction, and was always ready to act up to the force of thht obligstioh. They relight perheps think that theie 'set:time:we wry.: cheetle of a wider application, and that they carried.him beyond the hue of neigh. bourhood into the world at large ; they were, however, his sentiments, although to errs that philenthrepy to the 'torched inhabitant of the sultry Equator, cr the froien Esquirnaux under the Pole. was is peacticable ; becande, however expansive were a math's intentiens, they must rdweees be coutrolled a:l4 limited by hie useens of practical benevolence.
