~....~. _,m- PARLIAMENTARY SUMMAR Y. The Loa met on Satureay at one o'clock, when, after the presentation of some petitions, Mr. KNIGHT, Counsel for th e : Corporation s , proceeded with his speech. At its conclu s'", Sir C. WETHERELL claimed to produce witnesses in sup- Port or his case. Lord BROUGHAM rebuked the Learned Counsel for his irregularity. After a few words in favour of the interminable course proposed by Counsel, the Earl of WINC2IIq.SF.A, placing his band on his heart, and apparently la bouring under the highest degree of excitement, rose. Conn sel were then ordered to withdraw, and his Lordship pro ceeded in a singularly temperate tone, to deliver a piece of rare declamation, which, together with the interesting dis cussions raised on it, will be found in another part of legir Paper. His Lordship was well supported by the Duke of NtwcAsmr, who loudly denounced the Corporations Reform threafrned L or d Mr.t.nocitnn with impeachment, and in a significant manner questioned his Lordship if he still meant to persevere in refusing to hear evidence at the bar of the House in support of the case stated by Counsel. Lord Mst.nounNE, with the utmost calmness and com- Posure, replied—" I certainly do." After a scene of unusual agitation, which seems to involve cor.sebuences of the highest national importance, it was agreed by the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and NEWCASTLE, that they • were not then cool enough to go on, and that it would be better to resume the question on Monday. Lord BROUGHAM Moved for some Chancery Sittings Returns ; and after an other Corporation petition had been presented, and another d eclamatory speech by the Duke of NnweesTLE, the House adjourned to this day. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Paris Papets of Saturday.) M. Jacques Lafitte had an audience of the king on Thurs day at half past one o'clock. When the King was informed that M. Lafitte had come to the palace, although he was then receiving a great number of deputations that had arrived to ha ngratul a t e hi m on hi s escape from the danger by which he been threatened, he showed the greatest impatience to see him, and as soon as he entered went to meet him, and con versed with him in the kind terms of old friendship, which nei ther time nor political dissensions had been able to efface. T he Queen and the Duke of Orleans also received the hon. deputy in the most cordial manner. Girard's condition continues to improve. Yesterday morn ing, though, he dad passed; a restless night his fever had sensibly abated. In the evening his medical attendants en . tertained a belief that be would recover from his wounds. At moment while he had a suspension of his pains, one of his attendants said—" But still, no doubt, you cannot, under any circu mstances , escape your fate." To which h e re plted," bah ' llf I had not had the stupidity to wound myself, you would not now have had me in your clutches." It would appear from a letter addressed by 13 r. Montazeau to the Gazette des Tribuneaux, that the infernal machine was not constructed by Girard, and that the Pa r ty Who furnished it t o hi m i n t en d e d t h a t i t s h ou ld e ff ect hi s truction. The Doctor, after stating that he had carefully i n _amined the m ac hi ne , o b serves t h at h e f oun d on t h ree o f t h e r ir rels placed on that side whe re th e p erson fi r i ng th em was Stand the stamp rebut (condemned), and adds:—" The three condemned barrels burst, as was intended to be the case, By the combination which anticipated the certain death of the Person charged to execute the crime, with a view to destroy all proof of accomplices, and. thus annihilate the inquiries and InvestigA ations of justice." commissary of police went on Thursday to Girard's apart ment, and took a minute description of the room in which the machine was fixed. " Several other persons who resided not far from the house were arrested. The fact of his being suffered 1 ° "copy the lod g i ng i n th e a b sence o f a ll f urn i ture i s accounte d or by the circumstance that, though his rent was 400 f. per annum, he had paid six months in advance. We learn that Girard's f am il y i s well known at Lodeve, and that he, who at tbe time of the Royalist reaction in the South, in 1815, was about 20 years of age, was one of the most zealous and violent Partis ans . We und ers t an d t h at a d r i ver o f a fi acre h as b een f oun d , w h o dOelares that he drove to the house on the Boulevard du Te mPle a person with a heavy poatmanteau. Being taken to see Girard, he identified his person and clothes, although he !l'as asleep, and it was not thought proper to wake him. We 4a Ve not been able to learn whence he came with the port manteau. On Tuesday, a few moments before the explosion, and near the spot, a young man whistled loudly three times at intervals. He was immediately after apprehended, and con veyed to the Prefecture of Police, upon suspicion of having given signals to the assassin. A man named Boroton, who in his been received into the hospital of St. Louis, with a wound his thigh, having fallen under suspicion, has been twice in terrogated, and at length transferred to the Conciergerie. some say that he was wounded very near the house, and others state that it was within the louse. The horse which the King rode on Tuesday at the review died yesterday of his wounds. l When the news of the late horrible attempt reached ()r -earm on the 29th ult., in the morning, the general gaiety was changed into as general mourning. Tricoloured flags c,overed with crape were displayed from almost all the win nows ; but when the proclamation of the Prefect of the De partment, announcing that the King was safe, was issued, a gre Spontaneous acclam ation o f " Vi ve l e R o i !" b urst f ort h, an d for those that bad fallen was for the moment suspended: hinuiar d emonstrations of feeling were made in all they other !owns at the same distance from Paris where the sad news had been received. We understand that warrants have been issued for the arrest of M. Scheffer editor of the National; M. Eugene Briffaut, tme of th e writers in the Figaro, and M. Bergeron, who was housed of being an accomplice in the attack upon the King's by a pistol, near the Pont Royal. We hear that M.

Her Majesty tasted the saline waters, and honoured Mr. Newman, the proprietor, with her Royal commands to send some to the Palace. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION. TEN HOUSES DESTROYED, BESIDES AN IM- MENSE FACTORY.-(THIS MORNING.) One of the most destructive fires which has occurred in the metropolis, for some years past, broke out about two o'clock this morning, at the south-west angle of Charterhouse-square, and rapidly extended thence on to Charterhouse-square, where several houses soon fell sacrifices to its fury ; at the same time extending rearwards, it set fire to the very extensive factory for cabinet goods, belonging to Messrs. Smith and Nephew. This factory forms a complete quadrangle, of great extent, three sides of which were occupied with work shops, some two, and others three stories high, and on the fourth was a lofty boundary wall, with gate of entrance. The stock here accumulated was very great, and of the most in flammable kind of light woods. These soon were one awful mass of fire, shooting up flames and smoke to an amazing al titude, and giving a frightful grandeur to the scene of wide de struction. Southward of the factory, and sepztrated only by a narrow passage is Inner Red Lion -court, containing six brick tenements, of three stories, inhabited all by working people. All these houses, excepting the first, are destroyed, and even that is odiously damaged. It is some mitigation of the calamity that the poor inhabitants in this court, were, it is understood, able to save most of their effects. Besides this vast amount of destruction several buildings in Red Lion court, and 'White Hart• Court, are greatly injured, and the loss from hasty removals must be very great. Happily no lives are lost, nor do we hear at present of any serious injuries. It is painful to be compelled to state, that nearly the whole of the terrible destruction of property that has taken place is attributable solely to the scandalous insufficiency of water in the mains. The engines and men of the London Fire Esta blishment were most promptly on the spot in great force, but all their efforts were powerless from the want of water. The following are the correct particulars of the names and losses of the numerous sufferers, as carefully ascertained by Braidwood, the Superintendent of the London Fire Establish ment, for transmission officially to the Insurance Offices. CHARTER-HOUSE-SQUARE. No. 31. Rev. Mr. Good, insured in the-Hand-in-Hand— totally consumed building and furniture. 32. Messrs. Robinson and Hines, solicitors, insured in the West of England—most part of the building consumed, and the furniture very much damaged. 30. Mrs. Mary Currey, private house, supposed to be in sured in the Imperial—building and furniture much damaged. 29. Messrs. Gravell and Son, clock and watch-makers, in sured stock and building in the Sun—roof off, and much da mage to furniture and building. 28. Mr. Watson, surgeon, not insured—roof damaged. 27. Mr. H. Tukell, private house—slightly damaged ; not known whether insured or not. CHARTERHOUSE-STREET. No. 13 and 14. Mr; J. M. Gregor, jeweller, not known whether insured—most part of the building consumed, with stock and furniture much damaged. No. 15. Moses Solomon, furrier. Stock and furniture in sured in the Sun and Plicenix. Building partly consumed, and the stock and furniture much damaged. No. 16. Mr. Sherry, copper-plate printer. Not insured —damage to building and property, very great. RED LION-COURT. The great factory of Messrs. Smith and Nephew is wholly consumed. The stock is insured in the Protector and British, and the building in the Alliance. LITTLE RED LION-COURT. Five houses, the names of the occupants unknown, belong ing to Mr. Swagle, of Nightingale-lane, Clapham, are greatly damaged, and rendered uninhabitable. WHITE LION-COURT. The Houses from Nos. 6 to 10, inclusive, belonging to Mr. Long, of Little Britain, are much damaged. Besides the great blame attaching to the New River Company for the deficiency of the supply of water, there appears to rest much culpability somewhere for not giving an earlier alarm. The situation of Charter-house-square is in itself secluded, and its three gates being locked at night, the fire could not be per ceived by sti'angers- till - it bad attained a great ascendancy. Where the watchman was requires explanation. Two engines belonging to the London fire establishment were the first on the spot. It was then a quarter past two o'clock, and the house of the Rev. Mr. Good was in flanies from the kitchen to the garrett. The inmates, consisting of a gentleman from the country, and the servants, had long before escaped quite safe. The Rev. Gentleman and family are out of town. At this time not a single turncock was in attendance, and Mr. Braidwood, the Superintendant, was obliged to send off one of his men in search of them. When, as before stated, the mains were turned, the supply was very deficient. Unhappily also there were no party walls to check the progress of the flames in the houses of the square. Part of the great factory is immediately behind Mr. Good's house, and this having caught carried a fierce flame into the rears of the houses in Charter-house-street. The blaze was most tremendous, and nothing but the wonderful exer tions of the firemen, who dauntlessly armed in their helmets rushed upon danger, and with their axes cut away communi cations, prevented the calamity from being far greater. There were no less than nine engines and 49 men of the fire esta blishment, besides an engine of the West of England, the Norwich, and County, all employed in staying the progress of the devouring element. The gates of the square proved of great service in preserving order and facilitating the working of the men. Numerous parties of police likewise attended, and rendered valuable assistance. The fire was not got under till near five o'clock. Messrs. Robinson and Hines have lost many valuable documents, and the gentleman at the Rev. Mr. Wood's 150 sovereigns, which he had in a desk. Messrs. Smith and Nephew succeeded in saving their books out of their iron safe before the flames had reached so far. The loss of the other sufferers must be immense, and although minor in amount, that of the humble persons living in Red Lion and W'uite Lion-courts must be of a very distressing nature, all of them being uninsured. Oa Saturday another meeting of Tory Lords was held at the sesidence of Sir Robert Peel, in Privy-gardens. The Duke of Wellington, Lord 'Ellenborough, Lord Wham eliffe, and several other Peers were present. We regret to announce the death of Michael Tho mas Sadler, Esq., which event took place on Wednesday last, the 29th ultimo, at Belfast. Mr. Sadler had been for a long time ill, and the fatal termination of his malady, an incurable affection of tins heart, was an event which was daily expected by his friends. Severe itki.dy is ;;i4 to have produced this result. He has left a widow with several cliiiikroP: POW of them very young. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1835. A. GRAND DINNER TO MINISTERS AT FISHMONGERS' HALL. A grand court dinner of this Company took place on Satur day evening last, at their new and splendid Hall. Invitations had been sent to all the principal members of the present Mi nistry, and but few disappointments were encountered beyond that occasioned by the absence of Lord Melbourne, who was necessarily compelled to attend in the House of Lords. At about six o'clock the other noblemen and gentlemen who were enabled to avail themselves of their respective invitations ar rived, and were loudly cheered by a numerous concourse of people who had assembled in the street.. Shortly afterwards the guests were ushered through the magnificent suite of apart ments, which have been recently completed, to the Hall, where a sumptuous entertainment was provided. The Prime War den of the Company, Mr. Alderman Wood, was in the Chair. On his right was Lord Brougham, and on his left, the Mar quis of Lansdowne. Among the company at the p r i nc ip a l table we noticed Lord John Russell, Lord Albemarle, Lord Plunkett; the Right Hon. Thomas Spring Rice, M. P. ; Sir John Hobhouse, M. P. ; Poulett Thomson, Esq., M. P. ; Lord Glenelg, Lord Howick, the Attorney-General, Joseph Hume, Esq., 01. P. ; Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P. ; George Grote, Esq., M. P. ; William Crawford, Esq., M. P. ; Dennison, Esq., M. P. ; John Boeham Carter, Esq., M. P. ; William Humphreys ; Esq., M. P. ; Edward Bernard, Esq., M. P. ; J. Ramsbottom, Esq., M.P., &c. &c. The cloth having been removed, and non nobis domine ex tremely well sung, The CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts, after which, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose " His Majesty's Mi nisters."—(Great cheering.) He was well assured that all present shared in the feeling of disappointment he now ex pressed at the unavoidable absence of Lord Melbourne.— ( Loud cheers.) That Noble Lord was, however, engaged in his capacity of Prime Minister in his place in the House of Lords, advocating a measure of paramount importance, but which he feared was not, under all the circumstances, quite as safe as it might be.—( Cheers and laughter.) Up to the last moment the Noble Lord had intended to join them, but a rather unexpected discussion had prevented his attending. On a former occasion they had expected the honour of seeing, his Majesty's present Ministers in their old hall. It hap pened, however, that some.change took place both in the hall and the Ministry.---( Laughter.) The hall had been restored since that time; it was now just what they wanted—con venient, and, he hoped, durable and permanent. The nistry had been altered, too, and he hoped the alteration was one of a similar •chaeaCter.=(Cheds. - ) He - n - o begged' to ask them to join him in drinking the health of Viscount Mel bourne and his Majesty's Ministers, and - thanks to them for their perseverance in those measures which, combining un compromising firmness with sincere liberality of principle, can alone preserve the liberties and happiness of the nation.— ( Tremendous cheering.) The Marquis of LtstsnowNE rose to return thanks, and was most cordially received. Ile said, " Mr. Prime War den and Gentlemen, In rising to return you many thanks for the honour you have conferred upon myself in common with the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, I must first express the regret I feel that my Noble Friend, the Noble Viscount at the head of his Majesty's councils, is not here, to return you those thanks which I know he - would have returned in person, most cordially and most sincerely had he been present. An event, however, of an unexpected nature, which has occurred else .where this afternoon, and which has been so well adverted to by your Prime Warden, has obliged him, in the discharge of that duty from which he never flinches—(Cheers)—to remain in that place in the House of Lords, where I know he will always be found when the public interests require his pre sence.—( Loud cheers.) On his behalf, and on our behalf, ho noured as we have ,heen this day as his Maj es ty' s Mi n i s t ers , I can only say, what I am sure my colleagues feel no less than myself, that we desire to appear before you in that capacity, only as long as, in addition to the confidence of our Sovereign, we retain the confidence of the people.—( Great cheering.) Allow me to add, that it affords us all the greatest and most heartfelt satisfaction to meet with this mark of your approba tion in this splendid hall, restored on those antient founda tions, which have been so long and so justly considered as the repository of the principles we have ever professed—of that consistency to which I humbly hope we may lay claim, and as one of the numerous but most efficient organs of that public opinion to which we have always bowed.--(Tremendous cheers.) I return you, once again, my and our most sincere thanks for the honour you have done us in drinking our. bealths, and beg, in return, to drink all yours."—( Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the health of Lord Brougham—( Cheers)—a name intimately associated with the cause of civil and reli g ious liberty, and with th a t grea t cause which he had endeavoured to promote and carry out to its ut most extent—he meant the cause of education all over the ' world.—( Loud cheers.) Their best thanks wire due to that Noble Lord, for the exertions he had made from a very early period of his life, in the cause of civil and religious li. berty—exertions which had been continued up to the present • moment—exertions which he trusted and believed would bs prolonged to the last hour of' his active, useful, and brilliant • career.—(Great cheering.) He begged to call upon them to join with him in drinking, with the greatest possible satis faction, " The Health of the Right lion. Lord Brougham and Vaux." The toast was drunk with every demonstration of applause. Lord BROUGHAM rose amidst loud cheering ; when it had, subsided the Noble and Learned Lord said :—" I beg. to re torts •you my- most siOcere thanks for the honesur whie!) you have done me in drinking my health on this occasion. Your worthy Prime Warden has stated With perfect truth that I have long been among the friends of civil and religious liberty. I may add that I have been long, though not so long, among the members of this great and flourishing corporation. I have the great, and to me the invaluable, honour of being a citizen of this great metropolis of London, and I have also the honour of being one of the members assembled together on this occa sion at Fishmongers' Ilal!—(Cheers)—and if on the one hand I never can look to the city of London and its corporations, without feeling that it is a pride and glory for any man to be connected with it, inasmuch as it has been the very cradle of English liberty—inasmuch as it is the place where some of the martyrs of English liberty were tortured and tried—inasmuci as I know that if bad times and evil men were again to arise,' the same standard would be unfurled in this city of Loudon, and the same men would come forward again to suffer martyr dom in the cause—so on the other, I confess that I feel a pe culiar satisfaction in looking back to the scenes which made iie free of the city of London, and a member of this corporation. I allude to a passage the most utterly disgraceful in the history of this country. I allude to an occasion which ought to make every Englishman hang his head when he looks back upon it. I allude to a period when tyranny appeared here as black asd as foul as it ever showed itself under any eastern despotism. I allude to that tyranny which sought to oppress—aye, even to take the life of—the Queen of England. Gentlemen, those times have happily passed away ; but I never come among my fellow-citizens, that I do not make it a point to look back to them ; to refer to those easier and lighter times of tyranny and persecution, and to remind them of the strife and storms through which we then passed. I do this, not from any pur pose of self-congratulation, for God knows that I do not, and never have, cared one straw about it ; I do so, beca use it conveys a great moral lesson. We have happily lived to see a great difference, and to witness an extensive alteration. —(Cheers.) In the present day, liberal principles do riot en tail persecution upon those who profess to be the friends of liberty. In these times, to be the advocates of good govern ment at home and free government abroad, is to establish a claim to power—almost to wealth—in this country. But in the times to which I look back, which, as I say, I never come into the City without taking leave to refer to—in those days it was quite enough for a man to be a friend to liberty —to be the advocat e of Reform—to profess liberal opinions at home, and to wish well to those struggling for freedom abroad—it was quite enough to do these things —aye, or any one of them, that he should be marked in his generation, that he should be proscribed among his tribe, that he should be sought to be put down among his compeers, that he should be trampled upon among political men, that he should be sought to be oppressed—and, I speak from the authority of my own ex perience when I say, that he should be for years and years persecuted and kept down hi his own profession—(Great cheering)—kept down in his profession, simply and solely because he professed those principles and entertained those opinions which are now professed and entertained, I rejoice to? say, by the honest men who are his Majesty's Ministers, and by all who would make their way into place and office and emoluments undei them.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I owe this short retrospect to these present times P • I owe it not to mye self certainly, who no longer suffer under that persecution — no longer suffer under what for twenty years of my life I was exposed to. I owe it to the many great and gallant spirits who are still struggling, and who, I hope and trust, will have no further impediment interposed in their way, in this day of prosperity, for the principles for which they once en dured so much—l owe it also to the memory of those best and truest spirits this country ever bore—the memory of those most enlightened, most honest, and self-denying men who devoted their lives to that cause which only produced pain suffering to them, which produces freedom and liberty for us. It is a very poor tribute to their memory, but it is one in which I am persuaded you all concur; for I should think much less than I do of the company whom I have now the honour—most respectfully, God knows—of addressing, if I thought they differed in the slightest tittle from the senti ments `I have expressed. Since I had the honour of first meeting my brethren in this Company, many years have elapsed,' as your excellent Prime Warden can testify, and in that time many and great changes have been brought about. Of all those changes, the first triumph of your principles in establishing the liberty of election—that primary and most important of all the rights you enjoy—is the main and foremost one. You are now beginning to reap the fruits of that most important measure : my belief and expectation is, that those fruits will be speedily gathered in, and that they will be precious to the taste.—(Cheers.) I am firmly per suaded that, as soon as his Majesty's Ministers shall have the power_ to betake themselves to the task of making the Tree of Reform, which as yet has not had time to produce any of its choicest fruits, yield an abundant and a ready supply, the people of this country w ill fi n d t h at , f ar f rom b e i ng t h e bar ren stock its en em i es h ave t h oug h t fit to represent, it is a go3dly and pr o lifi c source . A n d c h eap gove rnment being at length obtainecl r the expenses of the Government being re duced to the low es t possible pita; consistent tbe existence of the Government o f t hi s country on a sca l e w hi c h w ill pre serve safety at home and safety and honour abroad—this great reform, this very valuable and estimable reform, and reward all your exertions, being once obtained, you may laugh at all the predictions of those silly soothsayers who thought fit, four years ago, to tell you that whether reform were carried or rejected, mattered not one farthing to the real and effe tual comforts of the people.—( Cheers.) I beg ance more to thank you for the honour you have done, and the attention 1 you fire r bestowed tasica . tale ; lastapose The healfh` (if ybur worthy Prime Warden"—(Cheers)--one of the most useful, the most steady, .and most excellent supporters of those snund and excellent principles to which I have adverted, who, through good report and through evil report, not only now, when it is holiday work to be a Reformer, sup ports them, but did the same when their advocacy entailed prsecution and loss.—( Cheers.) I beg leave, it that capa- city, as well as in his capacity as Prime Warden of this company, and a representative of this metropolis, to propose his health.—( Loud cheers.) :The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed " Lord Plunkett." Lord PLUNKETT briefly returned thanks, but not one syllAble that fell from the Noble and Learned Lord's lips reached our ears ; nor, we should think, judging from the tone in which he spoke, anybody else's. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Right Honourable Lord John Russell, the leader of that House of Commons whose reform was promoted by his zealous and successful exertions." --(Loud cheers. ) Lord JOHN Russur. was received with tremendous cheering. The Noble Lord returned thanks in the following terms:— " In returning you my most grateful thanks for the honour you have done me, I beg to assure you that I am sensible now, as I have been at all times, that the honours which have been paid me, if they be due to me at all arc not due to me as an in dividual, but because I have the good fortune to be placed in a situation which enables me to promote what has always been my first object—the advancement of measures which are dear to the feelings and to the interests of the people of this country. ( Cheers.) . 1 can never conceal from myself, and Ido not pretend now to deny that if I were to rest solely upon the qualifications which I individually possess, I should indeed fall short of the 1 necessary pretensions to those rewards which were bestowed ca public men. If it has been my good fortune to be associ ated with men, and to be associated with measures also, which, because they suited the interests, because they suited the opinions of the time, have carried to a successful termina tion. • I say if I can claim any merit on this account, it is, that having formed an opinion of my own, having entertained the conviction that certain measures other persons had proposed were right and proper, I have not shrunk from expressing that opinion, and proposing those measures in the Commons House of Parliament.—(Load cheers.) Gentlemen, when I had the honour of proposing the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, it was supposed that the opposition offered at the time was sufficient to stay the progress of that measure.---( Cheers. ) When I had the honour to propose a Reform of Parliament, Osati n when I ventured, to say that conceding it was the only. vcv-atolarevent more violent alterations and more changes, an lion. and Learned Gentleman, who was then a Member of the Comnions' House of Parliament, and also as you are aware, has lately_ been in attendance in another House,—(Cheers and laughter)—derided the idea, and (as we understood the Noble Lord) denied that reform wad required, or that the people of England were in favour of it. This was the way, Gentlemen, in which the first Reform Bill was met ; but being Convinced, in that case, that the unjust and oppressive impediments in the _way of a fair representation of the people ought to be removed ; being convinced in the other, to which I have just adverted, that the grievous and p ar ti a l penalties which then existed, ought to exist ne longer; and knowing in both, that conviction was shared by many who had shown the utmost disinterestedness of purpose in maintaining it, I felt convinced in my own mind that I ought to proceed forwards, and allow nothing to prevent me from proposing to the House of Commons that which I was convinced the great and creasing intelligence of the people of England would ulti mately claim.—( Cheers.) And, gentlemen, allow me to say, that if at a late period it has fallen to my fortune to be asked to lead a majority of the House of Commons, it has been owing to similar circumstances. I thought I was bound, and I do think I am bound, to advance the principles of justice and liberality, and to consider from time to time how they can be best promoted—whether they arc agree agreeable to the popu lar feeling or not.—( Loud cheers.) I have no fears, gentle men, for the result—l have no fears with respect to the state of England. We are all here conversant with what is going on ; and if we have feared or do fear making way, for a year or for two years, with measures proposed, we may rest satisfied that the cause of liberality will shortly triumph, and that abuses will speedily be exterminated.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I in troduced the Reform Bill into the Commons House of Parlia ment, and that Reform Bill was carried. Was I to stop there ? Was Ito stop while the people of England saw grievances— great and crying abuses—to be redressed elsewhere, which, though they did - not immediately affect themselves, impera tively demanded redress at their hands ? Was I—a represen tative of the United Kingdom—to deny justice to Ireland ? ( Loud cheers.) I felt in my conscience that I could not— ( Cneers.) I felt bound, whether that cause were successful or not—whether it were approved of by a majority of the House of Commons, or by a minority—whether it were ap proved of by the general sense of the people of England, or whether there were a fear of its being opposed to that general sense—to say, that as we had felt for and redressed the grievances of the people of England among our own imme diate constituency (grievances less in amount, because the greater grievances had been looked to remedied by our fore fathers), we must, in the same spirit, look to the crying grievances of Ireland.—(Cheers.) I felt that we could not shut our eyes to, that we were not prepared to decide, those grievances, the very existence of which some pretended to deny, but that we were bound, as men representing the United Kingdom, to take those grievances into our imme diate consideration, and to apply to them - the best remedy we nio o ld prevail upon the Legislature to grant.—( Loud cheers.) I' trust, gentlemen, 'then, that I have not been unmindful of those great principles we have met this day to celebrate—the free, the liberal, the independent principles which placed the House of Hanover upon the throne. Those who maintained those principles, those who maintained the title of the House of Hanover, those who defended it against the squirearchy of that day, against the country gentlemen of that day, against the magistracy of that day, and against a vast portion of the Aristocracy then arrayed against them, delayed for a time that which was the cause of good and free Government ; and looking back to what had existed before refused to profit by increased wisdom and experience as they were ultimately compelled to do, and as they would have done well to have do'ne at once. These who built the Hall in which I last met this Company, of which I have the honour to be a Member, built it according to the best principles of architecture of their day ; but those who reared the present magnificent edifice, have constructed it according to the increased knowledge and enlightened taste of the time—according, I may say, to the spirit of the age.--(Loud cheers.) The same tribute that we render to those who constructed the old Hall, that they built it according to the knowledge and skill of the time—we yen (kir to those who established the Revolution of 1688, and in traduced the House of Hanover to the throne of this king slain ; we act according to the principles and knowledge of our day, but according to the increased liberality of the times, and in that spirit we contend that - we have a right to intro duce increased rights and improved advantages, that we have a right to expect that those rights will be maintained, and that we are justified in calling upon Parliament to con cede them.—( Loud and continued cheering,) Gentlemen, be lieving, these will be your opinions, feeling assured that these are the principles On which you act, I hope that those secta rian and exclusive and violent sentiments which have lately been propagated, with no inconsiderable industry, in various quarters, will meet with no response in your breasts: but that meeting here as we do, with Members of the Church of Eng land, with Members of the Roman Catholic Church, and with Protestant Dissenters, we shall advocate the great principles _of justice and toleration ; leaving to our own hearts and con sciences the solution of those points of fath on which we differ —uniting in one bond of universal charity and benevolence, acknowledging one Supreme Being, and adopting one precept of general good will.—(Great cheering.) Gentlemen, I am perfectlyaware that, in giving utterance to these sentiments, I am rather going beyond the proper business of the evening. —(No, -no.) It has been my good fortune to take a part in carrying a great measure, which has, as I think, tended to im prove the condition of the people. I hope I may be enabled, assisted by a majority of the House of Commons, to effect a still further improvement in their condition ; and I know no bet ter way of attempting to dose than by associating with the name of the Church, mercy, usefulness, Christian charity, and bene volence.—(Loud cheers.) For our Church, and for our insti tutions, our ancestors suffered martyrdom and death ; these iostitutions we are bound to respect a n d revere.; b ut we are .baaind also to_ make such corrections in them as the spirit, of the age demands ; such corrections as are consistent at once with the peace and harmony of the country, and the improve ment of its institutions. And having well ascertained how these corrections can best be made, our duty is to go calmly, steadily, and resolutely forward, fearing not any obstacles that may be interposed in oar way.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Right Hon. Earl Grey, the father of Reform, who throughout his whole political life, has employed the influence of his station and talent in supporting public liberty, and exposing and removing abuses." —( The toast was drank with enthusiastic applause.) Lord HOWICK-1n endeavouring to return you thanks in the name of my father for the high honour you have just conferred upon him, I must be permitted to say how deeply I regret that he is not himself present on this occasion to convey to you th ose th an k s w hi c h Ifeel so unequal to return in his name, for the very proud and highly distinguished' manner in which you have received the toast proposed by your worthy President. Gentlemen, I cannot but feel somewhat over come on this occasion. —(Cheers.) I do feel proud—l hope I am not wrong in doing so—of nay relationship to one whose name has been received in the manner in which you have re ceived this toast.—(Clibers.) I feel proud of nay relation ship to that individual. Not because he was Midster of this country for near four years, and was the head of the Govern ment by which the great measure of reform was carried into a law,,but because, for forty years, he was the unshriniting advocate of those principles, and the constant defender of those rights, which, when he first entered into public life, were seldom recognized except perhaps to be scouted with dis dain.--( Great cheering.) I cannot but feel proud of my re. Igiunship to one who, during that long series of years, not- Withstanding the frowns of power, notwithstanding the obloquy poured upon him by those who did not then know how deeply they were interested in the subject, endeavoured, in conjunc tion with Mr. Fox to resist the follies—the worse than folhe -- alf those who opposed them.—(Cheers.) geoalemen, it is quite impossible for me to asynne s re npcni the present occa sion. I will, theecfono, merely thank you once more, and again exprosa my regret that my father's absence from the country prevents him again meeting this company, of which he has the honour to be a member.—(Cheers. ) The winner of the match for Doggett's coat and badge, which was rowed for in the morning, and the men who came in second and third, here entered the room to receive the re ward of their exertions, which was bestowed by the Chairman. The CHAIIiNIAN next proposed the " Marty„ is c 1 L4O - and the Marquis of Lansdowne aotuaonet thanks:' The citAW'N. , 4440 3 'Right Hon. Thornas spring Ritie,*Chtnaceiter of the Es:chequer, aril may he con- , tinue to adhere to a strict observance of public faith and na tional economy."—( Loud cheers). Mr. SPRING- Rica returned thanks. He trusted that in no situation in which he was ever placed, need he be re minded of the necessity of observing the two principles recog nised- in the toast—the observance of a strict economy, and the maintenance of public faith. There was no economy which could be devised that was inconsistent with public faith ; there was no public faith, well understood, which ought to be a bar to a wise economy.—( Cheers.) He felt highly gratified the( they should hare been kind enough to propose that toast as connected with the office he had the honour to hold. It was a dangerous attempt to return thanks, for if there were one individual more than another who might be pretty fairly considered every man's enemy, it was the taxing man. He haunted them in all their steps ; met them at the threshold of their doors ; if they went abroad, on horseback or a-foot, they met him; they met him in every shop, in the shape of some taxed commodity; the very bed on which they reposed at night was but another item of his claims.—( Cheers and laughter.) If the office became to a certain extent popular in the city of London, where its duties were well understood, it was because its duties were so intimately connected with the great principle cf * the maintenance of national faith and national honour.—( Cheers.) If the health of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were well received, he was not vain enough to lose sight of the proba bility that it was because the title had so intimately connected itself with a name which, whenever it was utt'red, awakened feelings of esteem, respect, and attachment—he meant the name of Lord Althorp. As an.individual connected with his Majesty's Government, he begged to thank the company for • the manner in which they had received the toast. As an Irishman, he felt that that portion of the empire owed them a debt of gratitude for the management of their estates in the sister kingdom, and for the mode in which they discharged their duty as landlords. lie hoped they would not consider him an unworthy Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he took the liberty of drinking all their healths in .the fullest bumper of an exciseable liquid he could obtain, thereby at once show. ing his respect for them, expressing his own gratitude, and contributing to his Majesty's Exchequer.—( Loud cheers and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN begged to propose "The Right ion. Sir John Cam Hoblmuse, and prosperity to his administration of the affitirs of India."—(Cheers. Sir JOHN 110BHOUSE returned thanks. In the sentiments his Noble .Friend (Lord John Russell) had expressed, he fully and entirely concurred. He had nothing to disguise upon the subject ; nothing to conceal, and by those sentiments he would abide until the last mciniekle of hls life, as he trusted as he had done from the commencement of his eareer.—( Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Right. Honourable Charles Poulett Thomson, President of the Board "of Trade, and suc cess to the plans of Government for its advancement and pros perity." M. CHARLES POULETT THOMSON briefly returned thanks in a tone which rendered him . s harpy inaudible where we sat. He thanked them for the honour they had done him as a member of a Government professing principles such as his Noble and Learned Friend ( Lord Brougham) had.said were the hitch road to power. He begged to say, however, that it was not on that account that he had joined the present Government, but. be cause he was deeply impressed with a sense of the rectitude and propriety of the principles on which they acted. —( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The Attorney-General and the English bar."—( Cheers. ) 'Fire ATTORNEY-GF.NERAL returned thaeks— " Within a few hours," said the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, " standing below the bar of a certain assembly, I heard a very eminent member of the legal profession exclaim, Where is Mr. Attorney-General ?—( cheers.) Let him show himself if he dare : let him defend if he can this unjust, infamous, ty rannical, treasonable, and revolutionary Bill, which has been sent up to your Lordships from the House of Commons.'— ( Cheers and laughter.) It was represented that Mr. At torney-General never could chew his face in public again : that in future lie must be an outcast from all society ; and yet here is Mr. Attorney-General to acknowledge the high satisfaction he feels at having had his health in conjunction with the bar of England so favorably received.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) Gentlemen, although it was tires represented that I had deserted the duties I owed to the Crown, I openly avow my conviction, that I best discharge those duties as its sworn servant by doing all in my power to correct the abuses which deface the institutions of this kingdom, and to restore them to their pristine vigour and utility.—(Loud cheers.) It seems to me that he takes but a poor view of what is due to the Crown who thinks his duty is to pr o t ec t a b uses , or sup poses the Crown is endangered by salutary and wise reforma tion.-.--(Cheers.) I am at once the servant of the Crown and the Representative of one of the greatest and most intelligent communities in this country, and I am rejoiced to think that I cannot perform my duties in the double capacity of Represen tative of that great community and Attorney General of his Majesty, by doing all in my power to protect the just preroga tives of the Crown and the best privileges of the people."._ [The Hon. and Learned Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.] The CHAIRMAN proposed, as the next toast, " Mr. O'Con nell and the Irish Bar."—( Great applause.) Mr. O'CONNELL—I do not.know any presumption, gentle men, so great as making a long speech at this hour of the night ; and yet it would be impossible to express, in a short one, the gratification I feel at all I have heard, all I have seen, and all I have felt to night.—(Cheers.) I like to mix, when 'ever the..opportunitv..proeute itself, with t the gojed e sense wad , intelligence of the knglA people, and to hear them express their honest and hearty wish to extend the benefits of their liberal institutions to their brethren in Ireland.—(Cheers.) If it were at an earlier period of the regt t, I might be permitted to dwell upon some of the injuries and oppressions that the British Government has inflicted upon Ireland, the refusal to identify the interest of the two countries, to strengthen this portion of the empire by the affections of Ire land, and to make Ireland happy by conferring on her a com munity of benefits with this country.—( Cheers.) It is a consolation, however, to perceive now that there is a dawning of light surrounding the throne o! the two countries, for the security of that throne itself, by basing it upon the affections of a generous and loyal people, determning to blot out the re collection of former misgovernment , by a gene ra l concess i on of all we can justly and fairly require.—( Cheers.) For we do desire to stand upon a footing of equality with England. We never would be content with less ; if we were, we should deserve to obtain less. I trust, whatever projects may have actuated my mind or the minds of others, with respect to having at home a government of a more kindred and fostering nature, that we may be early convinced such projects were erroneous, by seeing the people of England _rally round the present advisers of his Majesty in every part of the British empire, and giving them their unqualified support, in order that they might be enabled to do good to Ireland, and to extend the benefits of their administration to every part of my country."—(Cheers.) It being . now past eleven o'clock. the principal guests retired, and the remainder of the company immediately fol lowed their example. There were several other toasts on the list, but owing to the lateness of the hour they were not proposed. STEAM CONVEYANCE TO THE LAKES, BY SOUTFIFORT, BLACKPOOL, POULTON RING, LANCASTER, AND ULVERSTONE. The public are much indebted to that high -spirited and re spectable individual Mr. Winder, who has contributed so much to their comfort in the arrangement now made, for the. speedy and economical conveyance to the aboVe places. The steam packet Win& mere, a vessel lately built by Mr..Mottershead for the purpose, and admirably adapted for the trip, left George's 'Pier on Monday morning, at half-past four o'clock, with about 150 ladies and gentlemen who were invited on the occasion, and for the first time performed her trip to Ulver stone in about seven hours and a half, passing Southport and Blackpcol, and calling at Poulton Ring, she returned to Liver pool at about ten minutes before eight o'clock in the evening, after landing the company at Ulverstone Quay, and staying there for about half an hour. The vessel made her way in beautiful and gallant style, to the delight and admiration of all on board, and much to the satisfaction of Mr. Winder, and three gntlemcn who have con. tributed their skill in building her. Mr. Bail's condensier:-ap paratus has been called into play in this case, ansi hac.: so far an swered the most sanguine expectation Of hie criend and him self. It is an invention, we are informed, that is likely to be made available to the public in the improvement in steam na vigation, and we hope to hear of its being , universally adopted. Upon the vessel approaching. to Ulverstone, a vast assem blage of persons who had arrived from all parts of the country were seen upon the quay and the surrounding hills, who joy fully greeted her with every token of respect, and this was politely' returned with a salute and buzzas by her company. The day being remarkably fine, the brilliancy of the assem blage was much heightened by great numbers of elegant and wen-dressed females, who were alike anxious to show their joy and approbation of a scheme so likely to increase their comforts, in affording them in a few hours a safe and delight• ful transit to Liverpool. In contrast with the brilliancy of the effects on the shore, it is impossible to describe the grandeur of the back ground; the picture wus truly complete. Never could those magnificent ridge of hills, dividing the counties of Lancaster and Cum berland, have been seen to greater advantage, or produced an effect more sublime—from their grey arid. tops to their sombre bases, the diversified tints were beautifully amalgamated, and afforded a fine study for an artist ; Turner or Fielding would hero have gleaned materials for a splendid picture. Mr. Winder has, no doubt, now laid the foundation for one of the most delightful bathing-places and summer visits in the kingdom ; and it is to be hoped that the attention of some spirited individual, or a company, will be directed to its com pletion, and that in a short time easy accommodation will he afforded to the public in neat and appropriate dwellings, why, it is almost certain, in return will give it every support. three days ort. - The Wi n d ermere i s i nten d e d to i s lvt'r Po "l in the W ee k, an d tc return the attornato.d=!:;„ Th e partien' Jars of which w ill, 1 ,-,awe.ver, be pror",:rly publi s h e d by the esta blislxleot.—Liverpool courier.

Goo nwoon Cu r.--( Further particulars. )—ln our account of the race sent from the Heath, only four were placed ; subsequently the judge was enabled to place the whole, viz.—Lady Fly, fifth : Cast away, sixth ; Sylvan, seventh ; Prince Llewellyn, eighth ; Mr. Blyss's filly, ninth; and Beiram (broke down), tenth. The first runnin7 was made by St. Giles at a very moderate pace, followed by Beiram, Rioter, - Rockingham, and Glaucus, the others well laid up. In this way, arid at the same middling pace, they got to the Ent turn, when Beiram went i n front, the other s re t a i n i ng t h e i r oaecs. When half-way round the clump, St. Giles resumed the ru ming, Rioter and Beiram lying behind him, and Rockingham and Glaucus behind them. On commencing the descent of the hill, for the straight run home, Beiram broke down, and Was pulled up, but net without placing his jockey in considerable peril. Rockingham now took the lead, St. Odes and Rioter maintaining their relative p sti.l within two distances from home, when they Were passed by Glaucus ; no other change took place, as R oc ki ng h am increase_] his lead at every stride, and won in a canter by four lengths ; there was about a length between the second and third, and three or four between each of the others, with the exception of Prince Llewellyn and Bloss's filly, who were , beaten off a long way ; the pave was good only for about a mile and a half. The favourite never showed in front, and Glaucus, althoagh he ran a very good horse, showed the effect of his severe race with Preserve, and of being a second nirlit on the muzzle.' The company on the race-course was numerous and fashionable, and the sport excellent. . Furn.xy.—(CONCLUSION.)

Mr. Shackell's Lucifer, 3 yrs Mr. Theobald's Rockingham, 5 vra The jockies had weighed for Rockingham ' Lucifer, St.. Giles and Datura, and the betting opened a t 5 to 1 on Rockingham, and 3 and. 4 to 1 against Lucifer and 23 sovereign s were given to h ave as many fifties returned if St. Giles won, provided Rockingham started and did not tumble down. After the jockies had mounted, it was stated that Rockingham would not run, and Lucifer immediately rose to even betting. In a few minutes after it was declared that Robinson wa• at the post, that the horse would start, and that St. Giles and Datura were drawn, neither of them having gone to the post. This declaration restored the betting to the first quotation, and some large sums were laid cut upon the favourite. It is muck to be regretted that the party having th e management o f Rocking ham did not state his intentions -sooner and more distinctly, as a good deal of angry feeling might have been avoided. The race it self was an extraordinary instance of the glorious uncertainty of the turf. Rockingham took the lead at a very moderate paco, and at the distance-post had completely defeated Lucifer, who was ten or a dozen lengths behind. Seeing this, and hearing Forth call out to the boy to pull up, Robinson began to case his horse with an im pression, shared by every y eason en tke course, that he h a d on ly to canter up to the post. w:Telett, however, instead of pulling up, had kept his horse going, so that when Rockingham reached the stand there was not half the space between the two that there was at the distance-post. At this moment Twitchettt made a desperate rush, took Robinson by surprise within a few yards of the winning post, and before he could get his horse into action had won by two lengths. As a proof of the state of the race at the distance 1001. to half-a-crown was actually laid uprili Rocking Lam. 'Duke of Richmond's Plate of 100 says. Last mile. Mr. V.
