It was stated some days since, that the now order issued by the Governor of Canton referred only to the immediate departure of certain parties from that city convi c t e d o f having been engaged in an illicit traffic in opium and sycee silver, and was no more than an enforcement of a former order, which, with the grounds of it, and the names of the persons to whom it applied, have been published heretofore. Upon the excuse pleaded for non-conformity by the traders implicated, that their departure was delayed solely through the non-payment of debts due to them by the Hong mer chants, the governor, as was stated, gave peremptory in structions that the debts should be verified and liquidated forthwith. To render the affair more intelligible, copies of the governor's answer to the memorial of Messrs. Dent and others, and a letter to, them, from the Hong, are subjoined. " ANSWER OF THE GOVERNOR TO THE ADDRESS OF MESSRS. DENT AND OTHERS IN REGARD TO THE AFFAIR OF HINGTAI HONG. " Tang, Governor of Kwangtung and Kwangae, &c., issues this order to the Hong merchants, requiring them to be fully informed thereon. " On the 2lst of April I received from the English and other merchants, Dent and others, the followirg addiess " This having come before me, the Governor, I have examined the subject, and find that heretofore the Hong merchants have always been forbidden to incur debts to foreigners, and that in repeated instances on record they have been severely punished for so doing ; and with regard to the Yen Khechang, of the Hong Hintai, he has been in the situation of Hong merchant barely seven years, and he has in so short a time accumulated debts to the large amount of 1,000,000 and upwards of dollars. What de gree of bad management must it have been that could run to this extent—the thing is too absurd, too extravagant. " If this matter be not faithfully and completely settled, where will be our compassion to foreigners, and how shall we prevent similar and even worse conduct in future ? I issue, therefore, this order. When it reaches the senior Hong merchants, let them, in obedience to it, immediately convene a meeting of all the Hong merchants, and examine the accounts of Hingtai, to ascertain clearly what are the real sums owing by that Hong to foreigners, and let them equitably and earnestly apply themselves to make some ar rangement for the settlement thereof. Within ten days let them present a joint report on the subject for my conside ration. If they dare to regard this legally, or to delay or overstep the period, I, the Governor, will maintain the laws firmly as the solid mountains, and will assuredly direct the district magistrate to close the Hingtai Hong, according to the law, and apprehend the merchant, that he may be closely examined and punished. At the same time, the said senior merchants, together with all the other Hong mer chants, shall alone be held responsible ; the property of the foreigners cannot be left without an ultimate guarantee for its safety. Let these commands also be enjoined on the foreign merchants, that they, knowing them, may act ac cordingly. These are the commands. TANG KWANG. " 13th year, 3d month, 19th day ( 4 23 d of April, 1837)." FROM THE HONG MERCHANTS TO MESSRS. DENT AND OTHERS. " A respectful communication, on the 23d instant, was received from his Excellency the Governor, a reply and copy of which we have already sent you, requesting you to examine the same. Therein we are commanded to examine the accounts of the Hingtai Hong, to ascertain exactly what are the real rums which he is indebted. We find that in the address presented by you, gentlemen, there is only a general amount stated, without any distinct detail ; we would, therefore, trouble you, gentlemen, to give us a clear statement of the exact sums owing by Hingtai Hong to each of you, in order that we may be able to make a report thereof : this is our present object in addressing you, and we att,hAep 25, 1837. s r7 retimepresent our compliments., , " ( Signed by 12 Hongs.) " To Mr. Dent and other gentlemen." We learn from Cronstadt, in Hungary, that the term of a quarantine at the frontiers, is lengthened to 21 days, because a tipsy, who came from Turkey, died of the plague at Bucharest. Rigorous measures are adopted also by the Wallachian Government. 'CH MA: Barley. Beans. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1837. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER CAVALRY RACES—TIMM! r.

EDMUNDS, FRIDAY NIGHT. A. splendid manifestation of the spirit of liberality preva lent in this neighbourhood and throughout the western di vision of Suffolk generally, was this evening afforded, by up wards of 500 of the leading Nobility, Gentry, and electors assembling in the Corn Exchange, for the purpose of com memorating the triumphant return, at the last election for Bury, of Lord Charles Fitzroy, who has so long and ably represented the reform interest in the borough. The vast apartment was completely thronged ; and though arrange ment on the most extensive scale had been made with a view to the accommodation of the utmost number the room could at all conveniently hold, they were found quite inade quate to meet the wishes of a great many who were anxious of participating in the festivities of the evening. The room was decorated with a profuse number of flags, banners, &c., upon which were emblazoned appropriate devices for the most part complimentary to Lord Charles Fitzroy, and also to Sir Henry and Mr. Bunbury, the former the de feated candidate for the western division of the county, and the latter, who likewise sustained a repulse for the borough ; both of which gentlemen were with his Lordship joint ob jects of the honour which the banquet was intended to convey. The initials of her Majesty's name were, by a very fanciful invention, made to afford the principal light by means of gas jets to the head table, at which, amongst many others, we observed Earl Euston, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Sir Henry Bunbury, the Hon. Mr. Petre, Henry Wilson, Esq. (late Member for West Suffolk), Alexander Adair (late candidate for the Eastern division of the same county), C. Bunbury, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Reynolds, the Rev. Mr. Spring Casbourne, the Rev. Dr. Dibdin, Charles Denton Leech, Esq., the Mayor of Bury (who presided), Captain Wilkinson, Francis King Eagle, Esq., C. J. F. Bunbury, Esq., H. C. Robinson, Esq., J. H. Powell, Esq., &c. &c. The usual routine observable on similar occasions having been gone through, after the removal of the cloth the cus tomary loyal and patriotic toasts, commencing with " The Queen" and ending (significantly enough) with " The Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family resident in Eng land ;" " The health of Lord Melbourne, and the rest of her Majesty's Liberal Administration" was proposed by the Chairman, and was received with the greatest applause. In proposing this toast, the worthy speaker remarked that it was unnecessary to couple the name of her Majesty's Mi nisters with any recent circumstances to refresh the memory of the burgesses of Bury as to what was due to the Mel bourne Cabinet. They had expected great advantages from that Cabinet, and great advantages they bad unquestionably experienced. They could now contrast the state of things prevalent when these ministers first obtained power, and when their opponents wielded the full tide of government patronage. The system under the latter was so gross that one of the ablest of their own panegyrists confessed that were they as bad as he believed them to be virtuous and good, they would be still returned by the old corporation of Bury. Instead of having but 37 electors the town now pos sessed 600 householders, which, though not returned by all, still very fairly represented the political feelings and opi nions of all--at least of the majority. Not only were they indebted to the Ministry for the advantages of Reform, commonly so called, but also for Municipal Reform. They had now a town council not only chosen by the electors, but subject to the will of the electors for their continuance in office. He did not eulogize the new class of electors be cause they made him Mayor, but he did eulogise the Mi nisters that gave them the right to elect him. It was made an objection to the Ministry, that they received a great deal of support from Mr. O'Connell, and he would be glad to know if it should be considered a disgrace to receive the confidence of a man who possessed the confidence of nine tenths of his countrymen ; a man too to whom the people who now vilify the Ministry, were constrained to yield Ca tholic Emancipation, and the same people yielded the Test and Corporation Acts to the Dissenters from precisely the same motives. Notwithstanding the boasted influence pos sessed by Mr. O'Connell over the Ministry, they refused the repeal of the Union to the legitimate representative of Ireland, although the Tories granted him Catholic emanci pation when he was the illegitimate representative of the County of Clare. After a few words more in a similar strain, the speaker concluded his speech, which received great applause, in calling upon the company to drink the health `of the Melbourne Administration with three times three. • T. KING EAGLE, Esq., a very influential member of the Town Council, and a gentleman to whom the Reformers of Bury are indebted for the most indefatigable exertions, aided by sound discretion in promoting the prosperity of the cause of Liberalism,—then rose and proposed the health of Lord Charles Fitzroy, the representative of the borough. —(Vehement cheering, which lasted many minutes.) Mr. Eagle then proceeded to pronounce a very able and glow ing panegyric on the parliamentary assiduity, consistency, and thorough political integrity of his lordship, and in the course of his speech reverted to the plans adopted by the Tories for the defeat of the Liberal member, and which he characterised as anything but creditable. He also made some happy allusions to the mottoes and devices on the banners, by way of rejoinder to the Hanoverian cry of dis loyalty and insubordination said to be prevalent amongst all ranks of reformers, and sat down amidst long-continued ac clamations. Lord CHARLES FITZROY then rose, and in returning thanks for the honour of his health being drank with the cordiality and enthusiasm he had just witnessed, said he re garded the favour done him less as a personal compliment than as affording him the satisfaction of knowing that the principles he had hitherto acted upon in public life cor responded with their principles, and that they would expect from him in the next parliament a continuance of the same conduct that had already won him their approbation. He was aware of the great exertions they had made to place him in the proud position he then held, and also of their ex tions to afford him a colleague in the representation of the borough whose politics would be a little more congenial with his way of thinking and with theirs than were the po litics of the gentleman with whom he was at present asso ciated.—(Cheers.) There was no doubt great disappoint ment excited respecting the result of the elections generally, but still there was no reason to despair. Reformers bad a de cided majority, and that they had not a greater one, arose from the fact that time had not been afforded for the people to become thoroughly acquainted with the merits of the various measures the present administration had contem plated for them.—(Applause.) Whorl those measures shall have become well understood by the country, there was no doubt but the country would rally round the Mi nistry, and so enable them to carry their measures in a proper and satisfactory manner. The people might rely that no unnecessary delay should intervene before putting the plans contemplated into practical operation, but in the meantime there must be some little patience, sonic breath ing time afforded. The Tories, as they well knew, had not been idle—had left no stone unturned, no cajolery unified, no money unspent, .to effect their end ; and if Reform should only imitate their industry and zeal, Reform interests I would be most effectually saved.—(Cheers.) The principal artifice the Tories had resorted to, was in pretending a new born attachment to the people, and a desire to promote their welfare—but they knew that while any of the old owArely uo'Toryntit meas u res thaßileaventewi:rchrhoooear:i affecting e e wn, se m :htt a a i ern n gor nl e sendtelo, suchel s t i ri h ntrg a iwll t ,iconaad n ukp o l ipdtulgtoe be quarter. t cou l ddrtueaerpgm. upon remind nn would, it Tdti hini r eeht e h s ii neue Tories elataollsffderote suddenlyhn m emedr yiaagionnhnl ascendan t . y an fell in to the water with the fruit, while her head re maining above, continued the accustomed cry of " Apples, apples."—(Continued cheers and laughter.) The words I remained after the substance had vanished, and so with the Tories. After having been so long accus tomed to office, they still continued to talk and think about it as if it were again attainable. But the delusion was vain, and would ever remain so.—(Much applause.) His Lordship then reverted to the clamour raised by the Tories respecting the influence they pretended to have de rived from the late Sovereign. Why, they were always talking of their power with the Throne, and when, as they said, they had all the power the throne could afford, what use was it to them ? Did it keep them in office three years ago ? No ; nor would it now, if they had it in opposition to the wishes of the people. But when joined to the desire of the nation at large it ought to convince them that it will for ever keep them out.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Respecting the poor laws, he would only mention the sub ject for the purpose of saying that in the principle be agreed, as indeed he believed almost all agreed, while he admitted that there was much that might be amended. But he would contrast the conduct of the Tories upon that question with the conduct of the Reformers upon the Catholic Emanci pation Bill. The latter measure was proposed by Tories and received the support of the Reformers, but did the Re formers at the next election use the passing of that Bill as a handle for party purposes against their enemies ? The Poor Law measure was proposed by Liberals, and received T ory support : b ut t h e T or i es , f orget f u l f the nobleness of the other party on the occasion of the Catholic Relief Bill, traduce the administration for bringing forward a Bill, in the carrying of which they themselves were chiefly instrumental.—(Much cheering.) PRICE sd. The men that could act in this manner, and feeling as they did, both on the Catholic Bill and the Poor Laws, were not the men to govern this country.—(Cries of " No, no.") It was from a continuance in power of a Liberal Administra tion that any good was to be expected, and be prayed that the present one might long remain where they were. One word respecting himself. It was said that he had recom mended to his friends those tradesmen in Bury from whom he had derived his electioneering support. He had seen those tradesmen severely injured by the withdrawal of cus tom they formerly had, and as they suffered for voting for him, was it not natural enough that he should endeavour to lighten their losses as much as be could ? On principle he admitted that trade should be uninfluenced by politics, and for his part he thought the readiest and best way to do away with all improper influences of the kind alluded to was to get up a petition for the Ballot, and then it would be seen, by the names attached to it, who was desirous of tradesmen being punished in their business for voting ac cording to their consciences. —(Cheers.) The Ballot would enable us to retain and maintain all that was valuable to our Constitution, without suffering for the expression of an opinion. It would do away with all sinister and unjust in fluence, and he for one was desirous of seeing it very speedily in operation.—(Loud cheering.) " Lord Mulgrave, and Justice to Ireland," being pro posed from the Chair, Sir HENRY BUNBeaY, in acknowledging the toast, said that to do so in adequate terms would far exceed the limits of a dinner speech, as well as his poor ability. If they were to look back at the last six hundred years of misgo vernment, exasperation and vexation of all kinds to which unhappy Ireland had been subjected, and then came to later times when, to the disgrace of England, Ireland only began to experience a slight modicum of justice —or, to use Mr. O'Connell's expressive phrase, instalment, this re trospect would enable them to judge of the advantages derivable from the Government of Lord Mulgrave. It was only in the time of Lord Charlemont (Mr. Grattan) that the instalments first began to be paid, when such justice as was compelled by necessity began to be extended to their unfortunate countrymen. He recollected when Ire land was one continued scene of murders, burnings, and outrages, and then it was customary to say that Ireland was safe—safe when she was a reproach to all society in the civilized world.—(Hear, hear.) But the moment these atrocities cease—after threiyears of quietness and peace— the Tories pronounce Ireland not safe.—(Hear, hear.) Now that Lords Mulgrave and Morpeth have introduced order, humanity, impartiality, and •' justice" into the dis pensation of the laws, it is found that Ireland is not safe.— ( Cheers.) All concurrent testimony, Tory Judges even, every dispassionate witness, admit that Ireland is quiet, and quiet and contented she will remain, if the same system that has brought her to her present state be persevered in, and the successors of the present Viceroy and his Secre tary for Ireland act upon the principle that has for the last three years been found so conducive to the promotion of order and decorum in that country. He therefore con jured them to respond, heart and hand, to the toast—" Lord Mulgrave, and Justice to Ireland."—(Drank with great en thusiasm.) • STONE RACES-TUEIDir.

" THE OLD COMMODORE," BY THE AUTMOR OF " RATTIN THE REEFER, &C.—The author of " Rattlin the Reefer," promises to become a rather formidable acces sion to the ranks of our nautical story-tellers and no‘elists. The warm reception awarded to his first work has induced hini4o try.his hand a second time ; and we are inclined to think his new attempt will be attended with even more, success than accompanied his previous effort. Certainly there is greater variety of character in " The Old Com modore," and the leading personages are on the whole much more strikingly developed. 'The Old Commodore himself is an admirably drawn figure. He is a rough old son of the ocean—a regular quarter-deck hero—and his career is as stormy as his temperament.

(Abridged from the Second Edition of the Doncaster Gazette.) This day (Friday) the dinner to celebrate the return of the Right Hon. Lord Morpeth and Sir George Strickland, Bart., took place at the New Concert-room, High-street. On no former occasion of a similar nature was there shown by the friends of Reform a more anxious desire to be pre sent than that which was evinced with respect to this din ner. The presence of the Earl Fitzwilliam contributed much to deepen this anxiety. All the tickets were disposed of ; and had the room been calculated to accommodate a larger number, many more would have been sold. The time appointed for the dinner was four o'clock ; and about that hour, the bells ringing a merry peal, the Committee and a large number of their friends assembled at the Mansion-house, and from thence proceeded in a body to the Concert Room. The chair at the end of the centre table (appropriated for the principal speakers) was taken by the father of Reform in the West Riding, Sir Francis Lindley Wood, Bart., of Hickleton, amid loud cheering ; and the company, consisting of upwards of one hundred and eighty, immediately seated themselves at the respective tables, which presented a rich profusion of viands of every description, with wines of the most choice vintages, provided by Mr. Brooke, of the Old Angel Hotel, Mr. T. B. Mason acted as vice-president. At the heads of the other four tables were Mr. C. White, Mr. Alderman Torr, Mr. Beckitt, and Mr. J. Pearson. On the right of the Chairman were Earl Fitzwilliam, J. Parker, Esq., M.P., Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam, W. Bettye Wrightson, Esq., M.P., Alderman Tnttie (of Leeds), G. C. Yarborough, Esq., C. Jackson, Esq., Dr. F. Branson, and G. C. Walker, Esq. The Chairman was supported on the left by Lord Howard, Lord Milton, M.P., E. Baines, Esq., M.P., J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., W. Walker, Esq., T. Wrightson, Esq., ,J. H. Gossip, Esq., Pilkington, Esq., and J. Shep pard, Esq. After the usual loyal toasts, The Right Hon. Earl FITZWILLTAM rose, and was re ceived with loud - and prolonged cheering. When the mani festations of approbation with which the Noble Earl was received had subsided, his Lordship said—Sir Francis Lindley Wood and Gentlemen, I shall beg to call upon you to drink the healths of those two gentleman whom you have selected to represent you in Parliament—Lord Morpeth and Sir George Strickland.—(Loud and vehement cheer ing.) And when I recollect that both of them have been at all times the firmest friends of civil and religious liberty— that the one, remaining simply a Member of Parliament, and acting merely in his legislative capacity, has, I am confident, acted in such a manner as to merit the ap probation and to call forth the applause of all those whom I am now addressing—while the other was called, not, I will say, by the favour of his Sovereign—because I would not represent the representative of this great community in any light as a Court favourite—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers)—but called by the distinguishing approbation of the Crown, to carry into effect, as a mem ber of the legislative government, those principles on which he had previously acted in his legislative capacity, and I am sure that all of you will be of opinion that it is no de gradation of his situation as a representative of a great community to accept office under the Crown, when the merit of that office depends upon his filling it to the satis faction or those by whom it is conferred.—( Hear, hear.) Times, indeed, there have been, when the holding of office has been considered—and perhaps to a certain degree not unjustly considered—as almost inconsistent with the rc presentaaion of a great popular community. But I would observe that, under the present constitutional Parliament, in which every man is more or less, according to the extent of the different electoral bodies concerned, it is very diffe rent. Under the present circumstances it is impossible but that the Crown should select from those who have been elected from the people ; and I say, that it reflects the more honour upon the Crown, and will be attended with more ad vantage to the people, when those so selected are chosen from among those who have the greatest number of consti tuents. I have stated it in Northamptonshire, and I will state it here in Doncaster, that the reform in the administration of the Poor-laws is the act which of all others reflects the greatest credit upon the wisdom of Parliament, and upon the perseverance and determination of those Ministers who proposed it in Parliament.—(Loud cheering.) Now, let us not be undecided on this subject. I admire that law not upon the wretched ground that it had a tendency to save our money. Gracious heaven ! is there any man who can conceive it possible that the Parliament which passed that law had such an object solely in view. No, I think that if that law has diminished the poor-rates, that is the very smallest benefit conferred upon the country. It is not that they have diminished the poor-rates, and thereby, as has been basely insinuated, enabled the landed gentry in the same degree to raise their rents—no, that is a paltry, a miserable ground. But I admire that law because it has made the idle industrious, it has converted the wretched pensioner upon the public into an industrious maintainer of himself and his family.—(Loud cheers.) I speak as in a witness upon this s ubject. I have seen this law adminis tered, and have been engaged while in the country the administration of it. I may perhaps not have se in n it In the streets of Doncaster ; but when I have seen it the . streets of Peterborough, previous to the existence of that law, filled with idle and unemployed labourers, and when I see that that law has acted as a talis man, there being since its passing . scarc ely an idle per son in the neighbourhood , it is impossible not to see the effect produced by it. 1 will not ascribe the benefit of this law to what is called the workhouse task. 1 ani far from saying that the application of the workhouse may in a certain degree act, but I do not believe that that is the real mode in which it has operated so largely to the benefit of the country. But we have a board, popularly elected and numerously attended, and every man who comes before it is exposed to t he examination o f an d cross - exam i nat i on of twenty or th i rty gentlemen capable of putting those questions which are calculated to elicit the truth, instead of, s under the old uthnioistration, the law o( the pauper calling upon the overseer, and demanding whatever pension he might think proper, and who had nothing, by the bye, Lot his own moderation and delicacy to confine him, ometmes demanding 10s. 15s. or 205.; and courageous ndeel was that overseer who could refuse hi m th e sum demanded. If th e overs eer was so courageous, why he was dragged like a criminal before the nearest justice (or perhaps not the next justice, because he might be a per son who would look into the affair), but he was dragged to such justice as the pauper pleased, and such justice, knowing nothing of the matter, and could not by pos:iiiiity inquire into it, perhaps being a hunter for popularity, would call upon the overseer to make good to the pauper whatever pension he might in his conscience think proper to demand.--(Loud and continued cheering.) This is, it appears to me, the true secret of the talismanic effect which the new Poor Law has produced in the south and midland parts of England ; and I trust that the time may come—l know not what may be in contemplation by the executive government—butso perfect does appear to me the working of this system, that I trust that other branches of the local administration will be placed uuder the control of those or of ana'ogous boards.—( Hear, hear, and cheers. I will say (and I d o no t s p ea k i n di v id ua ll y ) t h at if t h e l oca l administration of a country is that of local despotism, it is almost impossible but that the general government of the country should in time partake of the principles which govern its local administration.—(Loud cheers.) And because I wish to see the general government of the. country carriedsOn upon popular principles, and in a popular way ; and I wish to see all the local administrations of the country governed upon popular principles, because I am quite sure that if the whole system of our government, general and local, do not coincide, and are not fixed upon the same prin ciples, the government is in a false position, and there is no security for the permanency of even our best national insti tutions.—(Cheers.) I beg to prepose t o y ou t h e h ea l t h o f Lord Alorpeth and Sir George Strickland.--(Loud and prolonged cheering succeeded this speech.) J. W. CHILDERS, Mei. M.P., was received with loud cheers. He said—l certainly consider that our present Ministers have redeemed most nobly the pledges they made when they first assumed' the reins of Government, the pledges contained in that memorable expression of peace, retrenchment, and reform.—(Cheers.) For we now tied ourselves, after the lapse of six years, at peace with all the world, and in prosperity throughout the country. Tile Mi• nistry of Lord Melbourne has, we all know, had great dif ficulties to encounter ; but I must claim for them this praise, that having marked out the line they intended to pursue—having for years advocated their principles, they have not now hesitated to bring those principles into action —they have not hesitated, at the risk of all difficulties, to bring them to bear ; and they have, on the other hand, firmly refused to go beyond them. This, then, is the praise I venture to claim for the Melbourne Administration. Her Majesty's Government requires an enlarged support. There is no doubt that it is in a position to require support from all Reformers throughout the country. There is no doubt that the power. of the Tories is great, and, I am afraid to say, may be increasing ; but I will not detail the reasons why they have so much increased—only telling you that I ht , lieve their power in the House of Commons rests upon the basis of delusion. I believe that the Tory power exists upon a delusion—a deluson which one single month of Tory rule would put an end to. —(Loud cheers.) I believe the principles on which so great a number of Tories was sent to Parliament are in no wise shared by the men who must he the Administration of this country, if Tory Administration there should be. I believe Sir Robert Peel, the only one worthy to be named among them, shares not the delusion which has sent the Tory minority to the House of Commons. lam firmly of this opinion from what we have seen before ; for when Sir Robert Peel passed the Catholic Emancipation Bill, did the Tories support him in that ? Did those people who now send Tories to the House of Commons support him in that ? I remember being in a commercial town at that time, when Sir Robert Peel had just taken a house there for his residence, and I can assimilate their remarks respect ing him to nothing more than the call now about Mr. J'Connell. They spoke about Sir Robert Peel then as they now speak of Mr. O'Connell, and threatened to drive him out of that part of the country. And that feeling would be again manifested should the Tories return to power. Again he would be the unpopular character he was then, and probably he would come to you for sup port in the measures he might bring forward. I be lieve it was a sayine.. of Lord Ly n dh urs t, w h en Sir Robert Peel issued his manifesto two years ago, alluding to a number of promises contained therein, but which were always closed with a salvo which brought them to nothing—" why, Peel, your manifesto appears as if the first part of each paragraph was penned at Brookes's (the Whig Club-house) and the remainder at the Carlton(Con servative) Club-house. In every paragraph you begin ad mirably, as if going to grant all, but at the end there is some little item by which it is clear you mean to give no thing at all."—(Lourtcheers.) That is the way in which the country is treated by the Tories when they arc in power. I feel, gentlemen, convinced in my own mind, that the prin ciples we advocate must progress, although they may be checked for a time. I now feel uo doubt that Ireland will receive that boon to which she is entitled—viz., the same description of Municipal Government as this country. And what is the paltry defence? Why, that the Chnrch might be endangered—a mere defence which will be thrown over, and which the Duke of Wellington has in effect already done. In conclusion, let me recommend you to leave no stone unturned for the support of her Majesty's Govern ment.—(Cheers.) The West Riding has done its duty ; and, in conclusion, I beg to propose ‘. Lord Melbourne and her Majesty's Ministers, with three times three."— ( Loud cheers.) JOHN PARKER, Esq., M.P. for Sheffield rose amidst loud cheering, and spoke to the following effect :—I have no hesitation in saying, that inasmuch as the greatest portion of the charges amongst us depends upon the conduct of the Government with respect to Ireland, I always, in address ing the people of Yorkshire, go into that question at once, and say that upon no other ground the Irish policy of Lord Melbourne's Ministry alone will entitle it to the support of every friend of liberty, and you are in fact only fighting your own battles on Irish ground.-4Lolid - cheers.) Why is there a single man wlso'serinay considers the subject, can believe that the inhabitants of Dublin are as not fit to choose an alderman as the people of Doncaster? Is there anybody who doubts that an Irish municipality, when pro perly constituted, is just as able to choose a town-clerk as the municipality within this borough.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) It really does seem to me the gravest accusation against the people of Ireland, to suppose them incapable of exercising their rights. But the Tories are firm in their endeavours to make the people believe that Irishmen are not fit to sit in Parliament. Gentlemen, in every respect the Irish arc equal to Englishmen, and arc entitled to the same respect as fellow-citizens. I think we may appeal safely to the good sense of Englishmen, favourable to Lord Melbourne's Government for giving to Ireland their full rights. That Government has said that they shall enjoy equal rights with their fellow subjects, and that Government never yet has surrended to fear what they have refused' to reason.— (Vehement cheering.) Mr. Alderman TOTTIE, of Leeds, proposed " the health of the Liberal Peers," enumerating among others the names of the Dake of Norfolk, the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Fitzwilliato, Lord Scarborough, &c., and eulogising them for their public and private irtues. Lord IIowARD role amidst loud cheering. Being a member of the Norfolk family, he rose to return thanks on behalf of his relative and the Liberal Peers. In alluding to the Reform of the Peerage, of which much had lately been said, he did not agree with such reforms, beli,:ving that a change of sentiment in the Commons, which was indeed now taking place, would have the effect of changing the views and motives of the House of Peers. If Liberal mea sures continued to be enforced in the House of Commons it was his opinion that the Lords would see the .. pecessity of yielding to them as the decisive voice of the country. In support of this he begged to call attention to the events of the last few years. He alluded to the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill, which had been so strongly op posed in the Lords at a former period, and to the expression of the Duke of Wellington at the close Of the last session with rasoect to Irish Corporations, when he assured Lord Melbourne that if they met in the next Parliament in the situations in which they were then placed, he should feel it his duty to assist his Lordship in . carrying su c h a Bill. He thought this was a proof that their Tory oppo nents were rather tired of their opposition, that they felt they could not go on for ever opposing every measure which came recommended by a Liberal Government, and he hoped to see them give way, hit by bit, until eventually they would suffer all the good Bills to pass the Comtnons without offering any undue oppositinn.-L-(Cheers.) A Tory majority in the Peers, they must remember, had been created by the disgraceful Ilse of power in Tory Adminis trations. And though he 'should be sorry to have recour=e to a similar abuse by a Liberal Government, he still hoped that by sued a Government retraining in power kr years to come, they would follow up Such reforms as would show to the Lords that a factious opposition would be of no effect, and that their present' majority would by the force of public opinion, be turned into a minority, so that a Liberal tnajor;ty should no long or bx! looked upon as a sort of wonder.—(Loud c h eers .) The CHAIRMAN said& had now to fulfil a duty he need hardly say of a most agreeable nature, that of proposing the 'lcahn of his neighbour. Earl Fitzwilliam.—(Loud cheers.) Earl FITZWILLIAM rose amidst loud cheering. He could not help adverting to one topic, which had be 4 n already very happily alluded to and discussed by his noble friend, Lord Howard—be alluded to tha House of Peers. He would not enter at present upon any thing regarding the constitution (rt.-that legislative a;sembly, but he could not help thinking with his noble friend that even the ,`~~~"~.
