WOOD, GROTE, CRAWFORD, AND PATTISON. rip HE REFORMERS of the CITY o f LONDON A. are requested to MEET the GENERAL COMMITTEE EVERY EVENING at Six o'clock precisely, at the Guildhall Cofrec-house, for the purpose of completing the CANVASS. JOHN TRAVERS, Chairman. JOSEPH CROUCHER, Secretary. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION THE COMMITTEE for conducting the RE ELECTION of Messrs. WOOD, GROTE, CRAW. FORD, anti PATTISON, as Representatives of the City of London, in th e ensu i ng Parliament, think it right to state dis. tinctly the grounds upon which they solicit the co-operation of their brother-electors, and to notice freely the professions and pre tensions, both political and commercial, of the only candidate op posed to them. That only candidate, Mr. Horsley Palmer, and his Commit'ee, have stated broadly to you that he is not fettered by party influ ences. But can this be true if, as must be apparent to you, he is ' upheld by party? And what is the party which has thrust him u, . n your notic e ? I s i t not t h e o ld c li que of City Tories, who have ever been opposed to all our political and social improvements ; who have upon all occasions striven to perpetuate the foul abuses still existing in Church and State, and who are, by every means in their power, steadily and silently undermining the liberties of the people, spar ing neither the temptation of gold nor the force of intimidation to effect their unrighteous purposes? What, then, is your judgment of consequences, but that, if Mr. Horsley Palmer be permitted nomi nally to represent you, he will really represent them ; and, indeed, that he must aid and assist them in that which is their common object; thus adding another obstacle to the amelioration of our laws and institutions, and increasing the discontent of those who, being the most numerous and most industrious, are of necessity the best disposed to good order, ani the most virtuous portion of the community. Electors of London, be not deceived. Mr. Palmer is a T ory , and . nothi ng e l se. He has ever been a Tory. He opposed the Reform Act, which gave to the householders of your city all their rights and privileges. He has always acted with undisguised- Tories. For present purposes, putting on the mask of candour, he assumes the air and tone of an independent candidate, and it is in this way that Tories steal upon your apathies, or gain upon your good nature; but if yen elect him your representative, he cannot go otherwise than as a Tory to Parliament--a Tory by conviction and habit, and by association ; fettered by Tory obli ga ti ons, and marked in his ca reer , no t only by Tory stubbornness, but als3 by the absence of any true and proper understanding of your rights as men, of your interests as Reformers, or of your equal privileges as fellow-sUbiects. Electors of London! look at the conduct of your four present Members dispassionately. It is said of them that " they are under the exclusive domination of an extreme political party, which openly proclaims a wish to accomplish the most extensive organic changes in the nati ona l i ns tit u ti ons ." Thi s assert i on i s, however, as a surd as it is untrue. Your interests and objects, as your opponents well know, are to preserve, and not to destroy. he destruction, if it come, is of their own seeking, by stemming the tide of that improvement which time and circumstances have rendered ine vitable. That your present Members are "under the domination of an extreme political party" is manifestly absurd, for they are known to represent many different shades of opinion in your great liberal constituency. Wit it is also said of those gentlemen, that they not represent your mercantile interests ; or that these interests can be represented better. And is this indeed to be achieved by Mr. Horsley Palmer ? He is, it is true, a Bank Director, and a merchant, and so is Mr. Pattison, who is certainly not of less credit, character, or station, in the eyes of his fellow citizens, on the score either of personal ex perience or extent of connection. Is not Mr. Alderman Wood one of your oldest merchants, intimately connected with the Corpora tion and all your city interests? And Who compares Mr. Craw ford with Mr. Horsley. Palmer, but that the former being engaged in the same branch of commerce, has rendered services to the East India trade which that trade never can repay, and which Mr. Horsley Palmer cannot hope to surpass, even if he be as watchful in seeking out, and as successful in availing himself of the opportu nities afforded by that growing trade for increasing the power, wealth, and resources of the country? Or is it to Mr. Grote that Mr. Horsley Palmer and his friends point as the one inferior to himself in mercantile knowledge. 'This would indeed be infinitely ridiculous ; to one whose ancestors have been largely engaged in oar city commerce—himself a native of the city, brought up from his earliest youth to the details of a counting house ; and who, being one of our first bankers, must of necessity possess a thorough insight into all our monetary and mercantile . transactions and interests. Redly, Electors, as Lord Liverpool said to Mr. Horsley Palmer's political friend, Lord Londonderry, " This is too bad." Mr. Horsley Palmer is undoubtedly a respectable man, and a good mer chant ; but his claims to your favour are surely not better than those of our present Members, and his services thus far, most as suredly, if they be important, stand unrecordtd. Electors, judge for yourselves. The mercantile pretensions of Mr. Hershey Palmer as a candidate, such as they are, have evi dently been thrust upon you, to- conceal the total want of merit in the political. You need not be told how intimately the one depends upon the other, or how capable is our commerce of extension under free institutions. In our present'Membets the knowledge and the practice of both exist in happy combination. It is not likely that you will be cajoled into a change for the worse. JOHN TRAVERS, Chairman. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF- THE BOROUGH OF SHOREHAM, AND RAPE OF BRAMBER. GENTLEMEN, T HE enthusiastic reception with which you have honoured me on my entrance into your Borough this day affords me the liveliest satisfaction—it is a testimony of your ap probation of the principles by which my public conduct has hitherto been actuated--and an earnest of the success with which the inde pendent electors will crown my pretensions to become their repre sentative in the Commons' House of Parliament. Though my opinions upon" the great political questions which now occupy public attention are not unknown, it is nevertheless due to an extensive and enlightened constituency that I should give an explicit outline of the course of conduct which I shall pursue, if elected your representative. The more minute details of my opinions I shall be happy to explain at public meetings within the borough, and upon my personal canvass of the electors, whenever occasion shall furnish the opportunity of doing so. I will cheerfully support every measure calculated to improve and perpetuate those institutions under which our country has prospered. The general policy of her Majesty's Ministers having, I believe, this object in v►ew, while they firmly and steadily—but prudently and cautiously —pursue the same course of conduct, they shall re ceive my zealous but independent co-operation. I believe the Chuich of England to be so intimately connected with the welfare and happiness of so large a portion of the commu nity, and to have acquired the veneration and respect of so many of my fellow subjects, that I will not concur in any measure tend ing to endanger its stability or despoil it of its just revenues ; I will, however, cordially join in abolishing Church-rates, which im pose upon the Dissenter the obligation of contributing to the main tenanee of an establishment, from the doctrine or discipline of which he may conscientiously differ. • T. • It is my anxious wish that measures of municipal improvement similar to those which have been given to England and Scotland, shall be extended to Ireland, and that means may speedily be de vised equitably to adjust the important questions which now agi tate the sister kingdom, and to allay those civil and religious dis sensions which have so long and unhappily distracted that interest ing portion of the British empire. i ntcrests mercantile o r spuucrh s u i 'A t ' s, g l re m at ay part of bhavingabl able been advance devoted t the e o fairly mhope lifeto par 11equally part of the constituency of this borough as are engaged in .. trade and shipping, while my connection w th the landed interest will my pride and pleasure t o enable me to serve the farmer and agriculturist.

By the Author of " The Subaltern," COMMEMORATION OF PRINTING (From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Thursday). Last night the Printers of Edinburgh celebrated the fourth centenary of the invention of the art of printing by a social entertainment in the Theatre Royal, the use of which had, in the most handsome manner, been granted by W. H. Murray, Esq. for the . occasion. The pit was boarded over, and the stage fitted up by Mr. Gibbs, joiner, Notting ham-place, whose arrangements gave complete satisfaction to the committee. The stage was decorated with' flags in a very tasteful manner. The upper boxes and the two shilling gallery were appropriated to the ladies, a consider able number of whom graced the meeting with their pre • sence. In the sides of the upper gallery were a number of of individuals who could not find accommodation below, and in the front scat the band of the 79th regiment was stationed, under the sunerintendence of M. Schott ; while in another gallery, at the ,stage end of the house, was a number of the members of the Choral Society, under the direction M Mr. Jackson. By both of these bands various fine- pieces of, music were executed in the course of the evening. The wine, fruit, &c. of which there was a great profusion, were furnished by Mr. Johnston, of the Tempe rance Coffeehouse, Nicholson -street. ' - Exactly at six o'clock the, Chairman, T. Campbell, Esq., accompanied by a number of his-friends, entered the house and took his seat at a cross table running between the two stage doors. The first Croupjei; D. Stevenson . , .Esq., sat opposite him ; and the other - Go, Messrs. Constable and Shortreed, sat at the opposite sides of the house. The' com piny being all seated, CAMIthELL: rose - amid immense and long continued applause, and after remarking that he necessarily and natu rally felt anxious and diffident in addressing an audience so large and respectable as that before him, said, that to him it-seemed not only to be useful, but absolutely necessary, that in a free country there Should'sometimes be large po pular asseinblies to celebrate triumphs, or 'to discuss ques tions which honourably divided - the conflicting zeal and opinions of the community; but it.'was surely more than useful, it was gratifying and heart-inspiring, that a large po pular assembly,shouldsometimes.meet to give. utterance to feelings which were not in a state of collision and of con flict, but in a state, such as that meeting now was, of con cord and unanimity.—(Great cheering.) UpOn this evening it was the spirit of unanimity itself which brought them to gether —to associate not only as fellow citizens, but as Bri tons, and as friends of the whole human race—(Applause) —and the voice of their jubilee in commemoration of one of the most sacred blessings that ever dawned upcin the world, the voice of their jubilee would rise in concert with the voice of other jubilees, not only from the land which gave birth to printing, but from the four corners of the earth.— (Renewed cheering.) No difference, therefore, .of party spirit, or speculative creeds, could on this evening break the harmony of their festival,a--(Hear, hear.) But before he addressed them more particularly on the subject of this festival, custom reminded him that it was the duty of all loyal Britons, on an occasion like this, to pay a tribute of respect to the greatest personage in a great and free com munity. Did lie say custom? Yes, custom, to be sure, alone enjoined this ceremony ; but even if custom went for nothing, and if he dared to neglect the toast Which he was about to give them, they would, he believed, rise with one accord and demand it.—( Cheers.) He hoped he should be pardoned for remarking, that if there was one personage in the world more entitled than another to receive this homage, it was our young Queen.--(Tremendous cheering.) She had mounted the throne a mid s t th e ent h us i asm an d accla mation of a people who lived under the first monarchy in the world. She had mounted the throne of a people whose press was not only free, but whose enthusiasm and loyalty were enebangitig.—(Cheers.) She herself owes to the freedom of the British press and people the fair inheritance of that Crown which now adorns her benignant and intelli gent brow. May she long wear it, and wear it happily ! God save the Queen !—(Cheers.) The band of the 79th regiment than played the National Anthem, and the members of the Choral Society sang a chorus entitled " Victoria, Victor a" The CHAIR➢iAN next rose to propose the health of the Royal Family ; and as he perceived that the ftir ladies, by whom they (the meeting) were surrounded, were busy drink ing with their eyes—(Cheers and laughter)—he hoped they would drink this toast with their hearts also. He knew he should carry all minds along with him, when he partici'. lady called their recognition to the health of that amiable woman the Dowager Queen Adelaide.—(Enthusiastic ap plause.) Herself one of the best of wives, she had been bereaved of one of the best of consorts—and it was nut only the high rank,• but the high virtues of Queen Adelaide, which calledfor recognition. She had been united to our good-natured and truly English-hearted King, who had . proved to her an amiable husband, while she had unceas ingly exerted herself to promote his domestic happiness— that only bless of paradise which has survived the mischief of the fall.—(Great applause.) The health of the Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family was then given with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN again rose and said—lt is now my duty to give as a toast the art of printing.—(Cheers.) The sub= ject is an ample. one, and it may fitly be divided into three clauses—the first being honour to the inventors of the blessed art of printing—the palladium of liberty—the bul wark of civilisation----the rock on which knowledge stands, and on which all error is ship-wrecked.—(Cheers.) That this sentiment of the acknowledged blessing of the press should be unanimously received in an assembly so large as this is, necessarily containing individuals not only of varied but of opposite opinions, is of itself no sorry or mean triumph. On the contrary, it is a triumph of the most important kind, for it entitles us to rejoice in the common blessing we pos. seas in. being a portion of the civilised world, and more es pecially in belonging to that porti on o f i t ca ll e d G reat Bri tain, which has taught more freedom to nations than any other nation in the world.—(Hear, hear.) If you could for a moment doubt of the blessing which the art of printing. has been to Great Britain, I would only advise you to trans fer for a moment your loyalty from your youthful Queen Victoria to the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, and to transfer the scene of your festival from the Theatre Royal, Edin burgh, to the imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg. What would the Autocrat of all the Russias—the Imperial kid napper of the children of Poland—(Loud cheers)—what would he say if he could catch you in the act of celebrating such a festival as. the present ? I will tell you what he would say—" Gentlemen and L;tdies"—for he would not except even the ladies—(Laughter)—" prepare yourselves instantly to have your heads shaved, and set out to-morrow morning for the remotest parts of my dominions." He would say farther, for tyrants never speak mischief, but they do it in the language of blasphemy—(cheers)---" What could posseSs you to celebrate tli? art of printing as a blessing of Heaven ? The blessing of Heaven! The very traditions of your nursery might have taught you that it had come from an opposite quarter of Ow universe—(Lan7,liter)—th a t it was a curse brought upon. the earth by 1)1.. Faust, under a compact with th e d ev il.—(Ch eers and laughter.) A curse which— " Disastrous twilight sheds . On half the miens, and with fear of change, Perple xes monarchs."__( Loud c h eers .) " So, Ladies and Gentlemen," he would continue; "too and refresh your principles in the cool and retired regions of Siberia." —(Laughter and cheers.) I shall come now to the second clause of the toast,—May the press flourish in purity. There arc many proprietors of theress here present, an d i f it were just, fair, or reasonable p , I would make bold to read them a stern lecture on the impurities of the press: But the impurities of the press are not chargeable on their profeision,—those who are to be blamed arc us th e authors,—bad authors,—evil authors,—and those w (Lwiho th )- pay, encou rage , an d compl i m nt those authors.— oud cheers. When I-gav e th e fi rst c l ause o f t h e free lona of th e p ress, I hope you will believe th a t I gave it not freedom i s exposed. But I will hazard an opinion that my eyes shut t o t h e l amenta bl e a b uses to wh i c h suc h there i s scarce l y an instance in which the freedom l of the press can be re s t r i c t e d, w i t h out incurring _a greater evil than you propose to reined Cheers. Remark, - that you are not invited, and still l es s challenged personally to ap prove of thi s op i n i on of m i ne ; I give it as my own humble indi v id ual opinion. • In giving the will interpret it accord the toast.of the freedom of the p ress, m I desire that ever y iag to hi s - own judgment ; I only give this as my owe opi nion, that it is nl - 4 noisible to restrict the press, without incurring an evil worse than the remedy.—(Loud cheers.) If there is .any exception to the rule, .I would say, that the press ought to be restricted in what may be called, strictly demr speaking., person a l v it u p era ti on . -As to the convi c t e d slan eritices to his malice—take: him where you will—do with who glo a t s over t h e i nnocent i n di v id ua l w h om he sa him what you like—es 'for me, I hate him too much to be able to give a Calm judgment respecting his punishment.— (Loud cheers.) But as to other restrictions which many well-meaning people•areinclined to lay on the lib er ty o f the Press, I recur . to my f ormer genera l propos i t i on . A s to li terary der atnat i on, no d ou b t it inflicts many grievous and undes erve d to inte r f ere with rezard to the literary' character of men of to i n th e m i n d s o f aut h ors , b ut h ow are :rou letters or Lci.nlce ? I ask. you if any of the class of authors, from the blazing fame of Shakespeare down to the most PRICE sd. glimmering scintillation of the present day, would thank you for tellinrr•him th a t hi s f a M e stands in need of the arm of the law to c 'defend it.—(Cheers.) And now I am about to enter upon a delicate subject, hut still I enter upon it. confidently and without fear, and propose the question, what ought to be the restrictions on the press in regard to reli gious subjects ? I give you my answer, that all indecency in regard to religion ought to be put down the same as any other species of indecency. If you ask ale what ought to be done with the discussion of religious matters, While treated with the reverence and solemnity whi c h they de serve, I say that to whatever conclusion they may lead, no human person has a right to interfere with the free judg ments of men, when spoken with reverence, either from the press or the pulpit.—(Loud cheers.) All gross outrages on morality ought certainly to be.punishcd as such ; but there is more delicacy in interfering with works of fiction, some of which no s t r i c t man can ap p rove o f , t h oug h hi s opinion . may be that works of fiction are good for the human mind. For instance, the " Odyssey" of Homer contains some ob- I jectionable passages; but still no one will deny that the " Odyssey" of Homer is a grand romance, well fitted to moralize and to humanize the miad.—(Cheers.) The danger of restricting the liberty of the press is that it may lead to greater grievances. As to the politi cal grievances - of •the press, I beg to remind those who, no doubt, from the best intentions, would wish to check political feelings, that there was more than enough of such outbreaks before the invention of the art of printing, and that if the liberty of the press were restrained, it would, instead of the press being a safety-valve for political excite ment, only give rise to feelings which would find a much worse vent..—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Upon the whole, notwithstanding all its drawbacks, the press is a glorious thing. No doubt, objections apply to it as well as to every other blessing under Heaven. We must abolish the sun, for fear that it blister us—get quit of the rivers, for fear that they drown us—and have no more dews, for fear that ive catch cold !—(Cheers and laughter.) Upon the positive blessings of the press I shall not dilate ; because I should only be detaining you from other speakers more able than myself to do the subject justice. I shall conclude by re peating my conviction that from the time when God said. " Let there be light," and there was light, even till now, there has not dawned on the human race a more blessed invention than printing.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. concluded by proposing " Honour to the sacred invention of the art of . l printing, and may it long flourish in purity and freedom."— (Applause.) Mr. Heatly then sung a song, written for the occasion by Mr. Alex. Sm a rt, entitled " When liberty first sought a home on the earth," accompanied on the piano by Mr. G. Croal, the author of the music. Mr. BURTON proposed the memory of Guttemhurg, and the other inventors of printing. Mr. HODGSON—the living authors of Great Britain. And the CHAIRMAN—the pro gress of the Fine Arti. D. M. Mont, E9q., then said toast which I am about to propose is one which I am confident you will re ceive with enthusiasm, not from any thing that I can say, but simply for its own sake.' It is the health of our illus trious Chairman.—(Loud cheering and waving of handker chiefs.) At no period had there been a greater dearth in the' finds of literature than when be, then a young poet, stood forth " among men, but 'not of them." The grave had then just closed over the lamented Burns—the soil had been shovelled over all that was mortal of him—and the harp of the north, clothed in sackcloth and covered with ashes, hung idly upon his tomb. It was at this epoch of literary dearth that the star of Campbell shone forth in the ascendant brilliant as a meteor, but also, with allithe lustre of a true constellation.—(Loud cheering.) WA full con fidence in his yet unacknowledged powers, he assayed the strings of the harp from its lowest to its loftiest:note, for he knew that the heart of the world would vibrate in uni son, and the world hailed in him another mighty master of the lyre. The " Pleasures of Ilope"—(Loud chcers)— that mine of youthful genius, sprung from his mind clothed ,with magnificence and beauty, as Minerva is fabled to have sprung ,at once full armed from the brain of 'Jaye.— (Cheers.) The height to which his eager genius as cended, rendered it only difficult whether in his after career he could • sustain this lofty elevation ; and how he triumphantly accomplished that, I need only allude to Gertrude of Wyoming—to Lochiel's Warning—to O'Con nor's Child—to Lord Ulliii's Daughter—to the Battle of the Balti. - !—to the Mariners of England.—( Loud and long continued cheering.) Having mentioned these need I say more. Are they not written in characters of light in the memory of the world, and is not his n• me. engraven in cha racters of imperishable renown ? I will only add, in con clusion, that the writings of our Chairtn:m have all been de dicated to the cause of civil and religious liberty. He ne ver feared that an unfettered printing press could diffuse too much light over the world—he never doubted that an unfettered printing press would not be subservient to the interests of morality and religion, for it was based on the eternal foundations of tr u th and knowledge. He : never thought that man could be over-edneated, or that 'he ever could have too much light, whether it concerned himself, " so fearfully and wonderfully male,"or the world in which be was placed, from the hyssop on the wall to the cedar of Lebanon—from the mussel on the sea rock, to the mighty leviathan within its capacious tides—from the daisy beneath his feet to the-starry sky above him, seeing that every one of these proclaim the wisdom and hnieficence of their corn mon Creator. He proposed the liedth of Mr. Campbell. —( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN shortly and feelingly returned thanks, after which he proposed the memory of Sir Walter Scott. The Rev. Mr. BENNIE said, I came here this evening, Mr. Chairman, rather for the purpose of bearing my humble testimony to a great cause, by may presence, than to make a speech. I have been delighted and gratified with the speeches that have been already delivered, and, though, un willing to obtrude myself on the notice of the meeting, knowing that so many gifted individuals have yet to address you, I feel myself called upon by the inspiring snbject com mitted into my hand to address to you a few sentences. — (Cheers.) The subject upon which I am called upon to address you is one of great extent and consummate in ttrest—it is no less then " The Liherty of the Press, of Conscience, and of Opinion." '"Tis Liberty alone . That gives to life its verdure and perfume, And we arc weeds without it." The terms of my toast present liberty in three of its most important forms. When one considers that this subject is identified, inseparably identified, - with whatever is sublime in Morals, bright in national history, and beautiful in domestic life, it, is impossible not to feel that it affords scope for the highest powers, and - matter for many volumes, instead of a few cursory and superficial remarks. When we approach this subject it is impossible not to fe:d that we touch on hallowed ground, in which there arc a thousand recollections preg nant with the renown of mighty names—it is impossible not to feel that we cannot advert to this subject without at the same time referring to all that is must. majestic and inte resting in human nature—most valuable in the institutions of our cQuntry, and most delightful and inspiring ia the prospects of mankind.—(Cheers.) The toast put into hands places the liberty of the Press first. I would venture to alter the arrangement a little—ltvould put liberty of opinion first—liberty of' Conscien.:e next—and the liberty of the press last. The three taken together give an idea of perfect freedom for thought. It is true that there are certain institutions, laws, and rights essential to freedom, which are not stated in this toast nevertheless, if you give me these three, the rest will - follow. The people will be free to think and feel—free in matters sacred and divine— free to communicate their senti:nonts and convictions to one anotkcr—that is the issue which will follow.—(Cheers.) It has often happened in the past history of our race, that the promotion of liberty has given rise to many and pro tracted struggles, but the ultimate issue has always been—and no one. could doubt it who believed in the majesty . of our comn►on nature—the ultimate issue has always been the estAblishtnent of real and natural free- dom.—(Cheers.) Freedom of opinion, I - need not remark in this large and intelligent Meeting, is the birth right of every human being—that every human being brings this right with him into this world—that no man can surrender it without committing moral- suicide.—(Ap plause.) Wf, have been endowed with a rational nature, and the laws under which we were born, and under which we live, entitle us to exercise the powers of that nature in the discovery and investigation of truth. It is as natural for the mind of man to think freely, as it is for the seed to vegetate, or the waters to thaw.—(`Tremendous cheers.) And let it not be forgotten that . in the power of thought lies men's greatest strength. In the exercise of thought he developes the permrs of a superior nature, discharges his Various duties connected with his lordship over nature and the inferior creatures over whom God has been pleased to give him dominion. Now, this liberty of thought no.ex ternal three can. cl2stroy. Men have often atteMpted to crush it, and in doing so they have shut up the body in prisons or in dungeons, and poured forth cruel threatenings, but the soul.was beyoad their reach. Hence it has been that all attempts that men in any erge or country has made to. check . liberty of thought Wave utterly failod. Na,v it was under the hail of excommunication, and the sentences of the Inquisition and the Star Chamber, that some of the most illustrious of our race displayed their inherent energy of thought.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) It has been-beau tifully said .by a great living poet, who has enriched and adorned the literature of his country with many of its most splendid and choicest of its gems, and in quoting whose lines I must appeal for their beauty to the audience, and not to the Chair:—(Cheers.) " Tyrants ! in vain, ye trace the wizard ring ; In vain ye limit Mind's unwearied Fpring What ! can ye lull th" Winged wir d s . " l " , '• Arrest tl:e rolling world, to.c`inin th Tech? No! the wild wave eantcnins you; sot:rico-I 1,31, ( 1 ! It roll'd not back when Canute gave .'ommand• There is another subject, to which, if time roeld permit, I would advert to.—(Loud chee rs , an d cr i e s of " Go on.) It is freedom of conscience. This. is, indeA, included ill the preceding part of the toast, lot - opinion is tild bunda tion of religion equally with keowletlge ; but it is of such paramount importance that it has come to he tegarde,' as a distinct province ; and it has been exposed to the same— nay,::: to more jealous watching than freedom of thought on any other subject. Now allow me, as a Minister of the Gospel, to say, that freedom of conscience is the principle of the Reformation. At the Couneil of Constance, one of the members said to John Huss, if the Council required you to believe that you had only one eye, you ought to believe it P Huss said no ; while God keeps me in my senses, I never 1 , 611 say anything against my conscience at. the entreaty or command of any one in the world.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Those were the principles* for which Luther contended in Germany—Calvin in Go neva—Zuinglas in Switzerland—and Knox in our own . land,—(Great cheering), — an d though it is true that these men did not fully understand in seine points the principle for which they contended, yet they succeeded in establishing it, and all future ages will enforce it.—( Loud cheers.) It is our happiness to lire in an age when that that principle is well understood, when every man sits un der his own vine and fig -tree—worships God according to his conscience, and dedicates his cii.l ken in leace. A high privilege this, and just what the spirit of the Gospel re commends. Talk of the Gospel! Oh, where shall we find a liberty like the liberty of Christianity, as set forth in the inspired volume.—(Cheers.) Another part of the toast relates to the freedom of the press, on which I will not enter, because that has already been brought before you by your distinguished Chairman. I will only say that I agree cordially and entirely in his sentiments ; and though a nnnister . of the Gospel, I object to no discussion, if it be respectfully conducted.—(Cheers.) If a man differs from me on a question, let us discuss that question. If I have reason on my mind I will conquer him ; if I have not reason, I have no right to dictate to him.—(Loud cheers.) Before I sit down, permit nie to remind you, in the words of the poet,— " There is yet a liberty unsung By pacts, and by senators unpraised, Bought with His blood that gave it to mankind, And sealed with the same token." My friends, " He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides." The Rev. Gentleman sat down amidst loud and long cot:- tinned cheering. Mr. SHOIITREDE proposed the health of Mr. Murray, and thanks to him for the use of the theatre, which was re ceived with loud applause. Various other toasts were proposed, in excellent speeches. Dr. Reid proposed the memory of Franklin—Mr. Burton, the early Printers of Scotland—The Chairman, the Lord Provost I:nd Magistrates—Muncillor Stod art, the Printers of Edinburgh—Mr. Ersk:ne Murray, the Croupiers—Mr. Hodgson, the Periodical Literature of Britain—Mr. Ste venson, our Guests—Mr. Constable, the Memory of Lord Stanhope—Mr. Pvper, the. Newspaper Press—and Mr. Fraser, the Committee, which was appropriately acknow ledged by Mr. A. Murray. The meeting broke up about eleven the whole proceedings having been conducted with the utmost har mony and regularity. The following song was sung in the coarse of the even ing by Mr. lie:itley, printer. \✓e may acid, that it was written for the occasion by Mr. A. Smart, printer—the music by Mr. George Cronll : When Liberty first sought a borne on the earth, N) altar the goddess could find, Till art's greatest triumph to printing give birth, And her temple she reared in the mind. The phantoms of ignorance shrunk from the sight, And Tyranny's visage grew wan ; As wildly he traced, in the Volume of Light, Tile pledge of redemption to man ! Ail hail the return of the glorious day, When Freedom her banner unfurled_ Awl sprung from the Press the Promethean ray That darned o'er a slumbering world; When Science, exulting in freedom and might, Unveiled to the nations her eye, And waved froM her tresses, refulgent in light, A glory that never can die. Th,i mighty Enchanter, whose magical key Unlocked all the fountains of mind, The thoughts cf the mighty in. triumph set free, In cloistered confusion confined ; The lay of the Poet, the lore of the Sage, Burst forth from obscur'ty's gloom, And started to life, in the wonderful page, The glories of Greece and of Rome. Great ark of our freedom! the Pr ess we adore— Oar glory and power arc in thee ; A voice thou hast wafted to earth's farthest shore— Tile shout of the great and the free. . The slave's galling fetters are burst by thy might, The empire of reason is thine ; And nations rejoice in the glorious light, Which flyss from a fountain divine. GARDENING OPBRATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardener's Gazette.) Where you h.Ove the convenience to do it, water grass plots and dressed ground, more especially round trees, where the grass will be burned up if .hot properly assisted; nor ought a shower of rain to prevent this, as round trees are the very list places that receive the benefit of even Leavy rains. Ca in sweet briars, fast growing hedges, or shrubs in clumps, to prevent them running one into tae other, or straggling ; the advantage of this will be obvious in the form of the hedges or plants as they grow.
