Laughter. )—Morning Register. Mrs. Butler (late Miss Fanny Keinble) has lately been brought to bed of a son in New York. The diary of this distinguished lady, about which so much has been written both in this country and America, will, we understand, shortly appear. Mr. Butler, writing on this subject in a letter to a friend, states—" No book has a chance of succeeding in the United States, unless the Americans are abused in it." Charles Kemble is engaged to perform a limited number of nights at the Theatre-Royal in Liverpool; he will, however, remain in London until the debut. of his accom plished daughter, who will sing for the first time in public at the Ancient Concert on Wednesday. Charles Mathews, the comedian, whose health had experienced a relapse after leaving Liverpool, and whilst he was on a visit to his friend the Rev. Mr. Spidell at Crick, near Daventry, is, we rejoice to say, quite convalescent. His physician has recommended him to remove to Devonshire for the advantage of a more genial climate, until his health and strength are completely restored. Mathews is now on his way to Plymouth. DEATH OF BLANCHARD, THE COMEDIAN. — Mr. William Blanchard died on Saturday, aged 66. He was thrown out of a chaise in the early part of the week, and that attention was not paid to the injury received which the serious nature of it required. Mr. Blanchard made his debut at Co vent-Garden theatre, as Acres, in_ The Rivals, and Crack, in the Turnpike Gate, on the Ist of October, 1800. He was a very good actor, but not a provident man ; he has been depen dent for his chief support latterly on the Theatrical Fund. ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT CLUB.—The anniver: sary dinner of this admirable Institution was celebrated on Saturday, at Freemasons' Hall. The Duke of Sutherland was in the chair, and ably enforced the claims of this excellent Fund, of which his Majesty has graciously condescended to become the patron, making, at the same time, a fifth donation of one hundred guineas. The receipts for the year 1834 amounted to 1,2361. 101. 4d., and the disbursements to COOL Bs. Bd., leaving a balance in hand on the 31st of December of 2861. Is. Bd. A subscription was entered into, and the pa trons of the art present were as numerous as they were liberal. Some speeches of the Earl of Ripon, the Duke of Somerset, and B. B. Campbell, Esq., were received with much enthu siasm, and the harmony of the evening was promoted by a dis. play of the vocal talents of T. Cooke, Hobbs, Fitzwilliam, Broadhurst, Chapman, and Masters Howe and Coward. MRS. SHELLEY'S NEW WORK, : LODORE.”— Mrs. Shelley has not, in this work, like a weak and ambitious artist, crowded her canvas with figures. Her characters are few ; they are well-considered, perfectly individualized, and in happy contrast. In the calm consciousness of power, she has dispensed altogether with a villain, who, in many a grand modern novel, is made to serve the same purpose as a daub of black in one of Martin's monster pictures. All the characters are excellently drawn ; the greater number are very elaborately brought forth, the rest are firmly sketched. The execution of the work upon the whole is extremely good ; it is quite worthy of the design. The impress of an original and thoughtful mind is visible throughout, and there are many passages of ex ceeding gracefulness, of touching eloquence, and intense feel r Magazine, Tilt SVN, LONDON', MONDAY, MAY 11, 1835. INVERNESS-SHIRE ELECTION. (From the Inverness Courier of Wednesday.) The hustings are again erected on the Exchange here, and the stoutest advocate for frequent elections cannot complain of the distribution in tills respect which Bag fallen td our share. The Inverness-shire contest excites great interest, and has, We observe, been taken up by the Papers in the south. Mr. Grant of Glenmorriston expresses himself highly satisfied with his canvass, and we are informed that his reception in Fort William and the other districts he has visited, has been of the most enthusiastic description. At the former place the horses were taken from his carriage, and he was drawn into the town by a concourse of persons. A large and highly respectable body of electors undoubtedly support Chisholm, as representing the Conservative interest ; but we cannot say that the topics of eulogy selected by his friends are of the most appropriate or convincing character. "An Elector," in our first page asserts that the Chisholm would have stuck to Mr. Charles Grant, if the latter had stuck to his political creed. Now Chisholm's first support of Mr. Grant did not commence till 1831, when the Right Honourable Gentleman was a member of the Reform Minis try ; it contiuued for two or three years, and it is absurd to talk of any change in Mr. Grant's political principles, or sup.. port of Administrations, subsequent to this period. The ar gument is a disingenuous one, meant to cast blame on Mr. Grant, but which does not in the slightest degree exonerate Chisholm from the charge of public and personal inconsis tency. Nothing, as it appears to us, can be more uncandid or unmanly than the attacks made on the Colonial Secretary with respect to his having formed a member of different Adminis trations. In all of them he promoted liberal principles—he was ever in advance, not in the rear , of his colleagues—and so far from being influenced by sordid motives, as is coarsely al leged by his enemies, it is well known in this part of the king dom that he has not only devoted his whole life and high ta lents, but has dilapidated his private fortune in serving his country, and maintaining the political independence of this county. Yet it is seriously brought as a charge against Glenmorriston that he supported this eminent individual in Inverness-shire, when there was arrayed against him all the feudal influence and official power of the High lands ! Glenmorriston did not go along with the Lord Lieutenant and the Lord of the Isles in repudiating a former friend, because as a statesman he listened to the voice of the people of England and of Scotland ; and therefore Glenmorriston is not to be trusted I We are much mistaken if such logic meets with a response in the breasts of Scots men. Our contemporary of the Journal is still more unhappy than " the Elector" in alluding to the local business of the county, in disparagement of Glenmorriston. The fact is the present contest seems to be a combination of great men who pay no attention to the business of the county—its transactions, assessments, or improvements—against the moderate and sensi ble party who direct the whole I We do not blame Chisholm for paying no attention to the local interests and affairs of the county : he has appeared in its Court-house to se cond the nomination of Mr. -Charles Grant, and to move an address of thanks on the passing of the Reform Bill. But we do say that Glenmorriston's long and uniform attention to _its business and improvements gives him, so far as such matters constitute a claim upon this occasion, a fair and indisputable ground of preference. We ask our contemporary if there would have been a county meeting at all on the last 30th of April, if the friends of Glenmorriston had not, as usual, been in attendance ? These local topics have been brought forward prominently in this contest, and we have deemed it necessary to allude to them. We are sure that Chisholm himself will admit the correctness of what we have stated, and be ready to exclaim, in the words of the Spanish proverb—" Save me from my friends I" Some per sonal allegations have been adduced relative to the means adopted in this contest by gentlemen holding official situations, which should at least on their part have ensured neutrality as respects opposition to Government. We leave to others the task of verifying such statements : Gleninorriston's claims rest on a higher principle, and we cordially concur in the sentiment expressed by a freeholder in our last number, " that it is satis factory to the county that the Candidates who have now for the first time come forward as aspirants for its representation are both men of acknowledged respectability." We shall only add, let both parties have a fair hearing on the hustings. WEST NORFOLK ELECTION DINNER Although since the election of our present Reform Members several congratulatory meetings had taken place, at different towns in West Norfolk, none had as yet been held in the town of Lynn; and as the Tories had had their day (we hope in more senses than one), the Reformers saw no reason why they should be debarred the pleasure of celebrating their victory, and of enjoying a few social hours in the company of their worthy Representatives. Accordingly the 7th inst. was fixed upon as the only open day ; and though but little time was allowed for preparation, or even for announcing the event in the local papers, we were agreeably surprised to find almost every seat occupied at the table, which had been set out in the spacious room erected over the New Market. Captain Fitz roy (son of General Fitzroy) was in the Chair; and we may state in the outset, that to his zeal, activity, and tact in his department, the party was mainly indebted for one of the most delightful evenings they ever passed. He was ably supported by Sir William Folkes, M. P., Sir Jacob Astley, M. P., the Hon. Major Keppel, F. Keppel, W. Birch Lee Warner, A. Hamond, Molyneux Seel, Boys Aldham, V. P.—Oxley, Manning, Bircham, &c. &c. Esqrs. by Revds. W. Pratt, Langton, Selby, and by Messrs. Kendle, Towel!, Keed, Spurgeon, Jackson, Carter, Waller, Beeks, J. Overman and Son, Durrant, S. Taylor, Butler, Masters, Coes, Cam bridge and Son, Bash, W. Curtis, Davis,. Brown, Muskett, Fullark, &c. &c. The cloth being withdrawn and the usual toasts given, the Chairman, in proposing " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers," remarked that his Lordship's return to office was a glorious instance of the triumph of liberal opinions over the many and great difficulties by which they had been surrounded. His Lordship had gained experience from late events, and he mu,t ultimately succeed, provided he rested for support upon the people, and adopted a straightforward line of conduct, with out duplicity and without truckling.—( Loud cheers.) " The Members for the Western Division of the County— Gentlemen (said the Chairman), it is not less a duty than a pleasure to me, to give this toast; because I am perfectly sa tisfied with the votes of our honourable Representatives ; and I feel also that this satisfaction is shared by every individual of the present meeting ; but, Gentlemen, there is no vote in which I more fully and cordially concur, than that on Lord John Rus sell's motion on the Irish Church Appropriation.--( Cheers. ) This vote overthrew the late Administration ; and I put it to you whether it is right, just,or politic,to maintain an enormous Church establishment for a population of one million of Protestants to seven millions of Catholics? I say, that this is not the way to support the true interests of religion, most certainly not the way to unite Ireland with England, which can only be effected by religious toleration, and by pursuing an equitable policy towards the Sister Kingdom.--( Cheers. ) Sir W. FOLKES then rose, and was most cordially received. After heartily thanking them for this new proof of their re gard, the worthy Baronet proceeded to congratulate the party on the exalted position they now occupied in public estimation. They all knew that Mr. Bagge not long since had a dinner at the Town Hall, which was attended by all the aristocracy and clergymen of the Western Division—(and the Eastern, too, might have been added.) At that dinner a Rev. Gentleman had thought proper to designate him as " the rejected candi date for Lynn." He really was not aware that he had been guilty of any act to incapacitate him for standing for the county. The Hon. Baronet next adverted to a placard which had that day been posted on the walls of the town. by the Bagge party. It was headed "No Popery." Did Mr. Bagge mean to say that he ( Sir William) was a Papist? Surely the time was gone by for such trash and nonsense. But he had voted on the same side with certain gentlemen who professed the Ca tholic religion ; and this, forsooth, was imputed to him as a crime 1 He was told his vote on that occasion would deprive dm of the votes of many of the clergy. Really he thought here might be some truth in this ; but there was one comfort —he had very few to lose ; for, on looking to the poll-book, ie found but a small portion of the cloth enrolled in his 'avour. Sir JACO* ASTLEY then rose amidst great cheering, and said—Gentlemen, my friend and colleague has been styled the rejected candidate for Lynn—at all events, he is not the re jected candidate for West Norfolk.—( Much cheering ) Neither is he the nominee of this or that great man. He is, Gentlemen, the nominee of the electors, and long may he re • main so And long, too, may the rejected candidate for Lynn continue at the head of the poll ! Address ing himself more particularly to the electors of Lynn, he would tell them at once, that until the great mea• sure of Corporation Reform was accomplished, they would have little chance of being represented (Cheers) any more than would Norwich or Yarmouth. Gentlemen, said the Hon. Member, we have heard much of Whigs and Tories. I call myself a Reformer. And so long as I continue to vote in accordance with the principles of Reform, I shall look to you for support—but, the instant you find me tripping, you will be perfectly justified in dismissing me. I have been called an enemy to the Church. I met all such assertions with the most sovereign contempt. I happen to be the patron of ten livings in this county ; and could it, for one moment, be be lieved that I would lend myself to any measure which might destroy my own property ?..---(The Hon. Member, after thank ing them for their support, sat down amid loud cheering.) We regret that our limits compel us to abridge all the speeches .delivered on this occasion, and particularly that of the Gallant Chairman, which was not less distinguished for sound sense than for the best of eloquence—that of the heart. His exposé of the effects of Tory injustice and misrule, was faithful and striking. " But," added the Hon. Gentleman, "they may yell their No Popery' cry in our ears —they may din us with the Church in danger,' but all this will not stop Reform." In conclusion, he exhorted them to bury every little difference of opinion, and to join heart and hand against the common enemy, and to keep down that faction, with whose do mination, if England was ever again cursed, then, indeed, should he believe that the sun of her glory had set.—( Cheers. ) In prefacing "the health of Lord John Russell"—(lmmense cheering)—the CHAIRMAN believed that he was a man who bad not only the wish to do well, but the courage to act well. His Lordship had made most noble and gigantic efforts in the cause of liberty ; and although the late election did not termi nate in his favour, he, for ene, the less regretted it, as it would more speedily and certainly bring on the only cure for bribery, intimidation, and other mal-practices by which this election had been carried—the B a ll o t.--c Long and continued cheer ing.) He would couple, with this toast, "Civil and religious liberty all over the world." The Rev. W. SELBY, being called on, was hapPY to re spond to such a toast- By religious liberty he had alway s un derstood, the natural right of every man to worship his Maker according to the - dictates of his own conscience;_ an d, believing - that this doctrine was sanctioned by their honourable mem bers, he felt great pleasure in giving them his support. Another ground of his support was, the understanding that one of them, at least, would give his vote for the Ballot. Surely both must have seen enough to defend the vote by Ballot. . Indeed,, he could not conceive how any friend of civil and religious liberty could oppose it. After stating several cases of oppressiOri Which liad come under his own notice at the last Lynn election, he obierved, that he knew of many freeholders who would have voted for Folkes and Astley, but dare not. " And how can you blame them ?" observed the Reverend Gentleman, " the affections of a hus band and a father are too deeply entwined round the heart, to induce a man to forego, perhaps, the only means of supporting his family—even at the apparent expense of his political honesty." Mr. Selby concluded an admirable address by say ing, that if Members would wish to be returned by the really free and unbought suffrages of their constituents, and if civil liberty was ever to he enjoyed, those constituents must be pro tected by the Vote by Ballot.--( Cheers. ) " Lord Grey, the Father of Reform." Mr. J. Taylor sung a song, written by him for the occasion. " Mr. Coke, the great patron of Agriculture." Mr. BECK returned thanks. " Mr. Manning, and the Reformers of Lynn." After Mr. M., Mr. H. JACKSON rose to corroborate Mr. Selby in his views as to the necessity of the Ballot. He did not, regret Lord J. Russell's defeat, since it would infallibly bring on the Ballot. After the next toast " The Ladies of Lynn," the Chairman quitted his seat, and the party broke up, all in the highest de gree delighted with the proceedings of the meeting. CONSERVATISM in EAST NORFOLK. ( Abridged from the Second Edition of the Norfolk Chronicle of Saturday.) DINNER IN ST. ANDREW'S HALL, to CELEBRATE the ESTABLISHMENT of the EAST NORFOLK CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. The dinner at St. Andrew's Hall, which took place yester day in honour of the establishment above named, may well be de nominated" A Grand Political Festival" for the Nobility, Gen try, Clergy, yeomanry, and other persons of substance and consi deration (amounting in the whole to 657, who sat down to dinner), displayed an union of social harmony with public en thusiasm, the most perfect that it ever fell to our lot to wit ness either in this city or in any other part of our native land. There is, thank God, a spirit roused, whose influence is daily spreading—whose intensity is immeasurably increasing—whose operations, under the patriotic guidance of associations like these, are, and must lead to, good for Church and State. After the Institution had been formed, and the Earl of Orford elected as its President, a numerous portion of the leading members of the Club proceeded from the Rampant Horse to the Guildhall, and were present at the ceremony of conferring the honorary freedom of the city upon Mr. Scarlett, Lord Walpole, and Mr. Edmond Wodehouse, in conformity to votes previously passed by the Mayor and Corporation. The Learned Recorder (Isaac Preston, Esq.) having ad dressed our newly-admitted fellow citizens, and received their respective acknowledgments, the whole adjourned to St. An drew's Hall, where the Noble and Honourable Members of Parliament were welcomed on their arrival with thunders of applause by the already assembled guests. Lord Wodehouse took his seat at the centre of one table in the middle aisle, and the Mayor's chair was placed opposite his Lordship's at another, there being a table in the centre be tween them. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts drank— The CHAIRMAN gave " The Earl of Orford, the President of the East Norfolk Association."—(Loud cheering, and three times three.) The Earl of ORFORD rose, and said, I have, to those who have placed me in the situation of President of this association, to tender my best thanks, but I have also to explain why I am placed there, instead of him whom it was determined, properly I will say determined, to have appointed.—( Hear.) We have a set men, they are now the Ministers of the King, who, not scrupulous of any means and reckless of all principle, might fix upon my Noble Friend, and even dare to designate him as an enemy of his country, if he had. been named as President of a society established to support Conservative principles. It was not ambition, laudable as it might be, that placed me at the head of the Society formed this day. But we are all soldiers fighting in the same cause, and it was our duty to see that our chief and our leader shall not be harmed.—( Loud cheers.) It was for us—it was our bounden duty—to rescue him from any danger his decided courage might have incurred. Opportunity might have been taen to tell our Noble Friend, " You are a Lord Lieutenant, though you are President of a Society in support of Conservative principles; those principles are hostile to the Whigs, and we shall remove you as being one who wishes to subvert the Government." It was our duty to tell the Noble Lord he was not the person we would choose to risk. We would not afford them a handle which they might, and most probably would, have used. We would not peril the honours the King had conferred upon him, because we wish to have the honour of his name as our President. I stand in a different situation. It is not Mr. Isaac Toinkins—( Hear and cheers)—nor Mr. Peter Jenkins —( Renewed cheers) —nor both embodied in my Lord Brougham—( Bursts of laughter and cheers)—that can wrest any honours from me.—( Renewed cheers.) The Nob!e Earl proceeded to observe that the Society had not been formed from any factious view ; not from any idea to election pur poses for this or that man ; but with an anxious desire to pro pagate in this division an attachment to the principles of good Government—to support what remains to us of our Constitu tion in Church and State—those were the principles upon which this club were constituted, and from those principles he should certainly not depart. He begged to give them in a bumper, " The health of their Noble Chairman, the Lord Lieutenant of the County."—(Three times three most hearty cheers, and one cheer more.) Lord Wonsuouse rose and said—Gentlemen, there are two most important events which have had a great effect in bringing us to our present situation. I allude to Catholic Emancipation and the Reform Bill.—( Hear, hear.) I would ask the most sanguine advocates of Catholic Emancipation whether their expectations have been fulfilled ? Has there not been a continued series of outrages ever since ? Have we not seen Protestants murdered by Catholics ? Have we not seen the clergy robbed of their incomes? Is it too much to say, that since the passing of the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill, there has been one series of rebellion in that unfor tunate, that distracted, country ?—( Hear.) Then, as to the other subject—Reform. How far has that, I will ask, con tributed to relieve the situation of the distressed, I fear I must almost say the ruined, agriculturists ? Have those who em ploy their capital and industry iu farming found themselves better off? Ask the merchant, is the manufacturer or the shipowner better off? Ask the poor but industrious artisan what he has derived from it ? I believe the same answer would be returned by one and all—that they were duped and disap pointed, and detested those who had basely and inhumanly de-. ceived them, and who had nothing in view but the promotion of their own selfish objects.—(Cheers.) The name of Reform was made use of, simply, to remove power from Conservatives, and consign it to Whig-Radicals. I fear the prediction of an illus trious person is like to prove too true, that no honest man will be able to carry on the Government under that unfortunate, that disastrous measure.—( Hear.) I will not advert to the factious and disgraceful measures for displacing Sir Robert Peel—vile and disgraceful as these measures were—all other measures were light and trifling compared with that appalling, that atrocious, one for applying Protestant funds to educate the Roman Catholics.—( Hear.) I, for one, have never been of opinion that the great agitator, Mr, O'Connell, was the person with whom that resolution, dangerous and. bad as it was to the Protestant Church, really originated, It is tame and mild if brought forward by a Catholic. Mr. O'Connell's religion binds him to the Pope, and, as a sincere Catholic, he must desire to see the annihilation of the Protestant, and the esta blishment of the Catholic religion in Ireland in greater splen dour than ever.—( Hear, hear.) It was necessary to bring for ward such a measure as was sufficient to gain the Whig Ra dical party. Such a measure as was accepted by the Irish party, because they see that it leads,' by slow but certain progress, to the destruction of the Protestant Church in that country. Such is the alarming, the formidable power of O'Connell, that if lat all despaired of my country it was to see the Roman Catholic Members backing all the Radicals of the country. But let us not for a moment give way to despair.—( Cheers.) Let us recollect that we still have the Duke of Wellington. —( Much cheering.) We still have that talented, that able statesman Sir Robert Peel.—( Cheers.) , Nor is it possible for us to speak too highly of that talented young nobleman, Lord Stanley.—(Loud applause.) The Noble Lord sat dowa amidst the loudest cheers. " The Members for East Norfolk."--(Three times three hearty cheers.) Lord WALPOLE rose, and was most cordially greeted, and said—Gentlemen, I will give the best support in my power to that Minister whom 'I shall find supporting the farmers ; and be shall have my bitterest opposition when I see him bringing forward any measures likely to be injurious to those engaged in agriculture.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, the question of the malt tax was settled before my arrival in England; and owing to the large majority against its repeal my vote w ould have done but little ; but had I been present I should cer tainly have voted in favour of Lord Chandos's motion.—( Hear. ) My first vote was given upon the Irish tithe question, and proud. am Ito have been able to vote against the tissue of absurdity and impiety contained in my Lord John Russell's motion; proud I am in having contributed to swell the minority on that occasion. I refused to bend the knee to that Baal, to whose shrine Irish impoverishment is yearly made tributary. Soon, however, may the golden calf thus set up, be broken down, tail and all.—(Loud cheers.) In the new Ministers I have not the slightest confidence. I regard them as having forced themselves into the King's councils against his wishes and the wishes of the country. Looking at the opinions of the men, I regard them as enemies of agri culture, and I will give them my most determined opposition. The Noble Lord, in alluding to the question of Church Re form, said he could not but think, notwithstanding the denial of Lord Melbourne, that some sort of compromise had been effected with the Irish party. How beautifully different was the conduct of Sir Robert Peel. lie said, "Iflam to govern, let it be with honest men, and by honest means." But such was not the maxim of the Whigs. However, the Parliament would meet in a few days, and they should see if that infamous coalition had taken place ; and if it had, it would excite the disgust, not only of the Houses of Parliament, but of the peo ple of Great Britain.--( Loud cheering.) Mr. EDMOND WODEHOUSE then rose amidst loud cheers, and said,—Gentlemen, in times like these, I know my own littleness, and am persuaded that abstract conside rations would reduce my usefulness in the . sphere of your representation, and, therefore, I have determined not to pursue that course.—(Hear, hear.) I now feel that lam bound to declare myself as one of his MajegtO Qppo- sition, and in that character I stand before you.—(Cheers.) I look on my Lord John Russell, not only as one of the lead ing characters in the present administration, but as one of the successors in office to Sir Robert Peel ; and I say (though I trust it is foreign in me to speak abusively of any one) that the speech of Lord John Russell on the nomination at Exeter, is of such a nature as to create absolute disgust. Passing over his observations on our Church, let us come to the spirit in which he speaks of the employment of the troops. He brings in the circumstances of Waterloo, and the triumph of this country, and tells us that the last blood shed in her defence was not that shed at Waterloo, but that which was shed in her last campaign against a poor widow woman for the recovery of tithe amounting to 31. 15s. If the, voice of the people can only be gained by such statements as these, it does not add much either to his name or character.—( Cheers.) I say the proceedings of my Lord John have fixed a blot on his escut cheon.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) " The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel and his Majesty's late Ministers," three times three. (Immense cheering, which lasted some time.) Lord STORMONT rose to acknowledge the toast, amidst re newed and enthusiastic cheers, and said, my Lords and Gen tlemen, I cannot allow an occasion like the present to pass without acknowledging, in the name of his Majesty's late Mi nisters, the attachment and gratitude evinced on the announce ment of the / toast, and which has been so universally shown by a large and respectable portion of the community of the whole empire. For their sakes alone Sir Robert undertook the task assigned him by his Gracious Sovereign. His sun rose obscured, amidst clouds of faction, envy, and malice, but nothing throughout its course could be more beautiful than its setting—( Immense cheering)—and I trust its setting will only be for a short period.—( Hear.) All must see that Conser vatism is becoming more triumphant, in the example of the Devon election, and that, although our sun has so recently set, as the morning approaches it will again rise, and rise in yet greater splendour—( Renewed cheers)—believing that the time is not far distant when we may be led to expect his return to power' not only in the esteem of his original supporters, but in the esteem of the other party also.—( Loud cheers.) They have talked of a dissolution of Parliament ; and I say to the Conservatives of this county, and to the Conservatives all over the country, let them try a dissolution.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) " The Members for Norwich." (Drank with three times three with reiterated cheers.) Lord STORMONT rose and said, I hail with pleasure the adoption of the union of to-day between the county and the city, in which men of all ranks are met, not to celebrate a victory, but to realise future prospects, and with a stern front to do our duty by forming an association which shall hereafter return members to parliament upon Conservative principles, who will preserve the rights of the Sovereign and the religion of the land, and, although it has been thrown in the teeth of the eastern nook of this county that the " No Popery" cry was raised, to show them that it has been raised and not raised in vain.—( Loud and tremendous cheering.) If it is an insult to raise such a cry I for one will readily share in it—(Cheers) —supported as I am by such an assembly as the present. I here pledge myself to resist to the very uttermost any dan gerous infringement on our Established Church. It remains, however, for the Protestants of this country to determine whether they will bow their necks to the yoke of Popery or not.—(" No, no, we never will.") It must depend on the education and good sense of tho'se I see surround me, and of the Conservative party throughout every county in the empire, to determine not to be trodden down by that man, to mention whose name I can hardly reconcile the fouling of my mouth— I mean O'Connell. It was said the other day by a dis tinguished friend of O'Connell, that they had now divided the empire, and got what they wanted. They had given Down ing-street to the: Whigs, and got Ireland for themselves.— (Loud Cheers, and hear, hear.) The Hon. R. C. SCARLETT next rose, and was recieved with loud applause. The Hon. Gentleman said the empire is placed at the present moment in a situation from which we have nothing to fear from any foreign enemy ; we have no ex ternal foe to dread , our enemies are at home, creating in testine disputes and destroying domestic happiness. I believe if England is true to herself, and she has always been so when applied to, in returning a majority of Conservative representa tives to Parliament, she has nothing . to fear; her opponents are the Scotch and Irish representatives, who are united to overturn their institutions ; and therefore it is right we should understand our position, in order to resist successfully our enemies.—( Hear. ) " The Members for Yarmouth."—(General cheering.) Mr. PRAED immediately rose, and, after alluding to the absence of his colleague (Mr. Baring), spoke in the highest terms of that gentleman, who, he said, had the greatest claim to the honour that day conferred upon them by having their healths drank by such a company. For his own share of that compliment he begged to thank them. My Lord Brougham (said Mr. Praed), when brought down in his nightcap, as we may suppose, to express his acknowledgments to some dozen of his political partisans, took occasion to profess that lie be lieved all the enthusiasm manifested towards himself was owing to his strict personal intimacy with his Sovereign. Now, I hope, with not less modesty than my Lord Brougham, I may say that I have not any intimacy with my Sovereign, and I am obliged to take some of the enthusiasm to myself, which he, with the modesty peculiar to him, attributed to his King.—(Laughter.) A Noble Lord near me, I don't know that it was unfortunately, said that he hated the name of Re form. I too hate the name of Reform, but I love the sub stance of Reform, and I believe in that sense the Noble Lord had made use of the expression.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Oh, Liberty !—said the beautiful but unfortunate Madame Roland, in going to the guillotine, which, for a woman, she had done so much in rearing—O'n, Liberty I how many crimes are perpetrated in thy name 1 She still loved liberty, but hated the name, from the crimes she had seen committed un der it. The Earl of Chatham denounced long ago unconsti tutional power exercised behind the throne. Let us denounce in the present day the power exercised behind Ministers. Lord John Russell, who is not the Member for Devonshire, fancies himself to be the Minister in reality. No ; there is a power behind, as with puppets, that draws the strings, and who will, when it answers his purpose, say, in the words of Shakspeare— For though we lay these honours on this man, He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, Being led and guided to what point we will, And having brought our treasures where we would, Then take we down the load and turn him off, E'en like the empty ass, to shake his ears, And graze in commons."—(Laughter and loud cheers. ) " The Lord Bishop and Clergy of the diocese". Lord BAYNING rose amidst loud cheering. Permit me to say of myself personally but a few words. I am at no time happy to mix myself up with politics, to enter upon the stormy sea of political discussion ; but allow me to add, that, in my opinion, and it is the opinion of those also entitled to my re spect, that these are no ordinary times—that this is no ordi nary or common crisis. —( Hear, hear.) Those who know me are aware that I have endeavoured quietly to discharge the sacred functions of my profession. I come forward now from no party motives. But I look at the votes of the House of Commons, and I am sorry to say, to the shame and disgrace of England, I find a proposition to apply the revenues of the Irish Church to other than Church purposes. I believe that the Irish ministers of the Gospel are performing their duties zealously and efficiently. I know their bitter deep, and pro tracted sufferings---I offer them my sincere and heartfelt ad miration. The Noble PRESIDENT next gave " Our friend and brother Conservative, Mr. Parker, Member for South Devon, and the glorious majority of 627."—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Ido not, added Lord Wodehouse, like to triumph over the defeated, but this much I must say, poor Lord John Russell, how is the mighty Reformer fallen I—( Laughter and cheers.) Mr. PRAED, as one of Mr. Parker's Committee, begged to acknowledge the toast. When Lord John Russell first deve loped his opinion respecting the Irish Church, which was in answer to a question put to him by himself (Mr. Praed), lie ventured to tell him that it was not the opinion of the county of Devon, or of the country generally. In the first part he had proved correct, and should Ministers give them the oppor tunity by a dissolution, which some were so desperate as to think of doing, the other part of his prophecy he had no doubt would be fulfilled. " The Hon. George John Milles, the President of the West Norfolk Conservative Association.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. MILLEs, in returning thanks, said that it was found by the last election for West Norfolk that the registration had been shamefully neglected, and it was therefore right to see that every legal and constitutional means was resorted to to carry it into effect. Almost immediately after the conclusion of the election, the West Norfolk Society had been formed for that purpose, and he trusted, whenever the opportunity ar rived, no exertions would be spared upon the part of those who were °ailed friends to the Church. However necessary it was at the time of the late election to endeavour to return sound constitutional Representatives, it was doubly important now. They saw day by day the plans developed of a despe rate party, and most unfortunately that party was now in power. I feel (added Mr. Milles) justified in saying that in the event of a dissolution of Parliament we shall see in the county of Norfolk three, if not four, Conservative Members returned —(Loud cries of Four, four")--and I trust that my Hon. Friend Mr. Baggc will be one of them.--(Great applause.) " Lady Suffield and the House of Blickling."—(Three times three, and loud cheers.) Mr. PETRE acknowledged the compliment. " The President of the Norwich Conservative Association." —(Loud cheers.) Mr. Wm. JOHN UTTEN BROWNE rose and said,—My Lord and Gentlemen, we have seen within the last few weeks a Minister, supposed to enjoy the favour of his Royal Master, driven from office by a foul conspiracy of Whigs and Papists. We are now to see the Government of this great empire en trusted to the desperate faetionists who have shown themselves capable of sacrificing honour conscience, and country, to carry a point of policy, or to gratify a personal rancour—subject to the veto of that unblushing traitor, that avowed enemy of Eng land and of Protestantism, the blood-stained, mob-created tyrant, he who wrings from the hard hands of a misguided peasantry the pence on which he infamously subsists, and who has publicly offered to assist a present Minister of the Crown in the grateful task of converting the House of Lords into an Elective Senate. Lord Melbourne, indeed, denies that he has been party to any compromise with O'Connell. Lord Mel bourne no doubt speaks truly ; but let us not forget that Lord Grey denounced the Agitator, and repudiated with horror the bare idea of a connection with him, at the time when one of his own colleagues was confidentially communicating with that very Agitator, upon points of far grea ter im p ortance than those which furnished matter for the Brougham and Wellesley cor respondence—a correspondenc e undertaken in those leisure moments, when the learned and distinguished Baron, seeking to relax his astonishing mind, oppressed by too long and anx ious meditation, addressed his Noble Friend, as fancy dictated, in London University Greek, in choice Latin, or most rare He. brew.—(Laughter and cheering.) Vle time for remonstrance and complaint is passed—let us act. Remember your all is at stake. If, then, you would preserve jour Protestant insti tutions, combine. So shall you frustrate .conspiracy, and se cure to your children the blessing of political freedom, and the inestimable benefit of a pure and apostolic aurch. (The Learned Gentleman then sat down amidst loud and continued cheers.) The Noble Chairman left about half-past ten, amidst; lout. cheering, and most of the company also retired. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. Further particulars of Friday's races First Race.—Flame made first running, but soon resigned it to Gab, who carried it on till within a few strides of home, when b went in front, followed by Becassine, who, never able to get up, was beaten cleverly by a length. There was the same difference between second and third. Second Race.—The lot got off well together, and rattled along at their best pace till near the ropes, where Lord Chesterfield's colt, which had been lying in front throughout, shot ahead, and worn. easy by a length. Swallow and Solicitor were well up at the finish. Newmarket Stakes.—Bodice laid in front, but without positively making play till about two-thirds of a distance from home, when she and "Fergus singled themselves out from the ruck, and ran a head and head race to the finish, which was so close that the judge pronounced it a dead. heat. Philosopher was an indifferent third, Clermont and Bayard mat, and lastly, Hester and Fop. Fourth Race.—Revelry made all the running, and won in a canter. Fifth Race.— A very close, well-contested race between Lilka and Zulima, and won by a head only. The only changes of note in the Derby betting are in Coriolanus, who is at 5 to 1, and Ascot, against whom they offer 7to 1. Hester has, of course, disappeared from the betting. There was no challenge for the Cup on Tueo day. Owing to increasing age and infirmities, Lord Berners has deter mined on quitting the turf.t His stud will be sold :text meeting, at the same time with a large draft from the Duke of Ckafton's stock. Lord Berners's trainer, Doe, will, it is said, succeed the late W. Arnull at Lord Lichfield's. CHESTER RACES.—FRIDAY, MAY S.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of most kinds of Corn were consider able, and of Flour tolerably good. There was no change during the week from the previous Monday's prices. This morning there are moderate supplies of Wheat and Oats, and short quantities of other Grain fresh up. The milers purchased the finest pareeLi of Wheat with readiness at last week's terms, and other descrip tions are still Oa in sale, but not cheaper. Barley remains as last reported. Beans are rather scarce, and' is. Per quarter dearer. Pease of both kinds meet little demand, and are unaltered in value. The transactions in the Oat trade have not been so extensive as on this day se'nnight, and prices remain as then reported, with a dull sale for Irish parcels. Flour continues to 'meet a slack trade at no alteration in prices. riticEs ON BC ARO OF SIIIP. Wheat, Red (old) ' White —r. —O. ---Rert ;JS:34) ::4s. 3' is. - Fins. 3s 40.5.

For Oats the demand was also brisk, and Is. per ß quarter is mor e was obtained fo r the better parcels. Scarcely any arley n ow left in the marke t ; but t h e wea t her having become mild, little more will be wanted for malting this season. For fine. Malt there is a steady demand. With Bye, Peas, and Beans few transactions take place. Flour has sold readily this week at a trifling improve ment in prices. New. Old. Win - S r, Northumberland '154. -11 s _.s. —s.)
