O'CONNEL L " Behold . the maiden modesty of Grimbold."—, and cheers.) So it is with the House of Lords—the that concealed its deformities has been torn off, and now slightly paraphrasing the language of the poet, we may say, " Behold the maiden modesty of the 170." It was supposed that the Lords, perceiving that the House of Commons was backed by 24,000,000 of the most intel ligent people on the face of the earth, would have the good sense to shrink from a combat with that body, and would not measure their strength in a contest which would show them to be only the pigmies, and the national mind as represented .in the Commons the ground of the field and fight.—(Cheers.) They—bad not the good sense to do so. Their maiden modesty and pigmy feeble ness, they have themselves exposed.—(Cheers.) The at tempt made last year, by Wellington, was one of singular audacity and military skill. The Whigs, unfortunately, had quarrelled with the Irish Representatives, and were not in the odour of sanctity with the Radicals either in North or South of Britain ; they had thrown off their connection with the people, and were endeavouring to persuade them selves into the belief that they could insinuate themselves into the good graces, and exist upon the countenance and favour, of the Court party. The result was, that they fell into disfavour with the people, whilst, at the same time, they were never other than cordially hated by the party connected with the Court. Wellington took advantage of the predi cament in which they had placed themselves, and at once dissolved the Parliament. In the general election which ensued, nearly a million of money was spent in the purchase of all that the Reform Bill left purchaseable. Emissaries were sent with heavy purses to all the boroughs which con ta,.ned any of those willing slaves called freemen. They s e nt with sealed orders and plenty of cas h. The entire were,. r wealth O. the Tory interest was brought into the field, and '-rliament selected in which the limited franchise we had a 1..„ the Reforn.• Bill almost threw power again into t h e o • •s.. But the Reform Bill worked so we ll, f hand of the Tory. •' what they were able to achieve that, in spite of •. v which Scotland gave to the cause in England, the majori. • liant majority which poor Ireland p of the people—the trium. - the i nstruments of corruption, sent into the fight, overthrew. them. —( Cheers.) We and gained a complete victory spite of English corrup put a Scotchman into the chair..: 6 measure in favour of tion.—(Great cheering.) We got 1; e faction • and old Corporate Reform, in spite of the 5.12 Ireland bad gratitude shown to hert t! ..I'= firs setasacredtime ,rah n history, in the triumphant vote wh ich de.." principle, that the surplus of a s inecure Chu. ment should be devoted to the education of th.. l (Cheers.) Then it was that the Grimbolds shom.'d hem selves.—(Great laughter and cheering.) But they Yver".' defeated, horse and foot, in every quarter, and at ever; point ; and heaven knows they took a great deal of beat ing before they perceived that they were beaten. We had to turn them over and over again on every side, before they would see that they were completely defeated, and unable to maintain their ground. It was then that the House of Lords took their, stand ; and I appeal.to you whether any body of men ever took their stand more falsely or unwisely— more obstinately or more perversely. They took their stand on the English Corporate Reform Bill—a Bill that all Eng land.was calling out for, and that Scotland had obtained three years before. In their oppositiOn to that Bill, they behaved in as paltry and poltroon a manner as it was possible for men to do. They would not take upon themselves the responsibility of throwing it out—they would not even destroy its principal features, but they loaded it with all manner of mischief—they stained and spat upon it in the hope that the House of Commons would finally throw out that which they themselves bad not the manliness to re ject.—(Cheers.) But they were more courageous in every thing else, and accordingly they placed themselves in direct opposition to every measure having for its object the at, ' lioration of England, Scotland, or Ireland. They thought to have a fair field for the exercise of oppression, and every species of injustice, in Ireland. The Irish had been so much in the habit, like the eels, of being skinned alive, that they thought the process was to go on for ever in perfect safety.—( Cheers.) But, in sober sadness, Ido insist upon this, that the Lords at that time proclaimed themselves the opponents of every improvement.—(Cheers.) What was to'be done ? The people have no control over them. The King has no control over them, except creating them, and the article is not of such prime quality as to make one anxious for an increased supply.—(Laughter and cheers.) And besides there was a fair supply of the article in the market already. For when the Whigs appointed some of their friends to the Peerage —as, for instance, in the case of Lord Segrave, what use did they make of their newly ac quired privilege ? Why, they turned to their new order, and voted against their creators, the Whigs. So, it ap pears, that in increasing the number of that goodly assem bly, you are by no means certain of increasing its honesty. God knows, you cannot diminish it—it had arrived at zero before.--(Great laughter and cheering.) There was no re.nedY then in the exercise of the King's prerogative, to makemakemore of them. What remedy had the people ? None ai all. We may meet here and talk about them— electors in..lY vote against them—they care not for anything we may do--.`here is nothing about them that the peop le can control or 1. 1 3 1 hold o£--(Cheers.) They are some thing like an animal that forms a conspicuous figure in a sort of race that is s .-onetimes run in Ireland, in which a pig, with its ears cut o.ff and its tail soaped, is turned loose to become the prize of tlhe first person who can hold him. —(Great laughter and c heering.) There they are, the soaped pigs of society—the .real swinish multitude, as ob stinate, as ignorant, - and as mulish as their brutal pr6lo types.—(Loud and long continued laughter and cheering.) They afforded a strong proof of these qualities in their treatment of the English Corporate Reform Bill. There was Londonderry grunting and snorting at it—Winchilsea piously groaning over it—Newcastle in congenial tones re sponding—and Wellington, with much military skill, acting as swineherd-general.—(Great laughter and cheering.) They have flung themselves literally into the mud, and the people of this country, if they do consent to the defilement, will insist that the two-footed hogs shall no longer bear the panoply of armour. The business of Reform as yet is but half done. I come to Scotland to ask this question—Did you ever know a Scotchman who was fond of leaving his work half done? I never did. The Scotch people have a very pretty notion, as we say in Ireland, of finishing their job .IJien they once set about it. —(Cheers,) I come to ask the single question, will you leave the work of Reform half n one 2—(Cries of " No.") Will you leave the waft in the loom half woven—the piece half finished—will you leave the picture of the Lords—a picture , half man , half hog, PA at pres ent ?—(Cries of " No.") I come to that point, and you w ill see that it is the Lords who have driven us to it. W e s h o uld not think of changing the frame of the House of Lords ;.f they did not compel us to do so. Lord Anglesey — no t one of the wisest men in the world, by the bye— once conveyed bis advice in a single word,—" Agitate, agitate, agitate !" Here am I, taking his advice and agi tating—(Cheers)—and having demonstrated the utter inn tility of the Reform we have at present, unless we obtain . the rest—having shown that it is vain that the House of Commons should meet and resolve, if a coterie of the Peers are to assembiC at Aspley-house, and to determine that you have enough of I . .:.)Provement , and shall have no more— having done this, it 'i s . 2n that account that I have been se lected by your committee to propose to you this evening the toast I shall presently co .:elude by offering to you. But' it would be vain and ri,liculons, it would be worse than idle and foolish, 14 After congregating here this evening, and declaring the!: the House of Lords shall no longer impose a restrain'!- upon the course of freedom into which the country is anx-foSs to enter ; if, after such a declaration, we should retire to our pillows, and go to a perpetual sleep upon the subject, for getting that we have exertions to make, and that no man has achieved advantages for his country without struggling severely and perseveringly to obtain them.—(Cheers.) The principle is established—down with the Lords in their pre sent fornv—the necessity is obvious—down with the oligarchy—(Cheers)—down with the Apsley-house coterie —(Renewed cheering}—clown with the swinish multitude — (Great cheering.) - We are all agreed upon this. The n what are we to do ? Should we be men if we did not do something to get rid of the evil ?—(Cheers.) Ido not wish to go into any detail as to the course that should be adopted, whether it should be by the re-establishment of political unions, or by the convening of meetings to petition Parlia ment and address the King ; these are modes of proceed ing that are perfectly open to the people—they are legiti mate and constitutional channels, through which the public opinion may be made known to the King and to the Legis lature, and no man shall tell me that they are weak instru ments. T have tried them already, and succeeded with them.—(ch e c . rs.) Rally, then, men of Glasgow, as you have often rallieJ before.

" Now, now, now I' r Plow and again should be our cry to battle against the ene mies of our country.—(Cheers.) We have little to fear when we find ourselves opposed by such champions as Westmeath in Ireland, and Ellenborough—scented and perfumed—in England—(Laughter and cheers) —men fed by the public bounty, and having no other pretensions to popular favour than the sinecure offices which they 141., What is the talent or spirit amongst these men ?

If Mr. O'Connell was gratified at the reception afforded to himyesterday by the immense multitude of the trades and working classes who assembled to greet him on the Green, and to listen to the force of his eloquence at the Bazaar in the evening, it would be hardly possible for him to derive less satisfaction from the honours which have been be stowed upon him to-day by the members of a wealthier class. A sumptuous and expensive dinner was provided at the Town-hall, and here at five o'clock, not less than 400 of the richest and most respectable merchants and traders of the town assembled to feast with their distinguished guest ; and throughout the whole of the evening nothing could emeed the enthusiasm which they evinced, not only to wards the sentiments be expressed, but' towards himself personali . ,". The slightest allusion to his personal his tor y was receive., , with the most rapturous cheering : an d if, Its he pr ocee d et .. 4 in his addresses, he was some times led (as publi c spea k ers , often i n th e habit with rather a questionable humility , are doing), to depreciate the amount of his own talent, or the exis'alti of his own services to the coun try,aised to deny the self - cast hundreds of Voices we; : by all parties that Mr. imputati on . It mus t b e adinitteci . O'Connell's appearante, his impassionet2 wanner, and native eloquence, have made a deep impression up. .s o n the people of Scotland. H e i s som ething completely differs !' o any thing that h as a pp eare d in this part of the world befort:. an :• 1 would necessarily command attraction in every 'place' be visited, evert if he did not bear with him a title sacred in the estimation of every true Scotchmen—" the defender of the oppressed—the liberator of his country." His progress here has been one continued triumph, and to the end of his life must be reflected on with feelings of the highest pride and pleasure. To have made so strong an impression on the mind of so staid and intelligent a people as the Scotch, is a legitimate ground of pride, and, after the many tokens of admiration which have been displayed towards him, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman may be forgiven, if he has obtained some little access of that feeling. At the dinner to-day, Mr. Spiers. M.P., presided, and Sir John Maxwell, Charles Tennant, Esq., and William Dixon, Esq., acted as croupiers. Near the Chairman were Mr. Ruthven, M.P., Mr. Morgan O'Connell, M.P., Professor Mylne, Ex-Provost Graham, one of the oldest Reformers in the town, Mr. Dixon, late one of the Representatives of the town, and many others of the wealthiest and most influential persons of the town and neighbourhood. The cloth having been removed, the CHAIRMAN succes sively proposed " The King ;" " The Queen ;" ‘.4 The Prin. cess Victoria and her Illustrious Mother ;" " The Peopk', the true source of political power ;" " The Duke of Su ss ex, and those Members of the Royal Family who have not fbrgotten the principles which seated their family on the thrt.'ne ;" and each of these, with the exception of " The Queetl," was received with the utmost ' enthusiasm. The attempt .to raise three-times-three for her Majesty, was a dead failu.ye. The Chairman, who gave the time, went off very lai4.'s:nidly—a few voices only responded, and, instead of a general cheer, the matter ended in a general laugh. In proposing " The Navy and Army," the CHAIRMAN deprecated, in strong ter ins, the introduction of secret and illegal associations into the latter—associations which, from their secrecy, were necessarflY subversive of all military discipline, and which, by giving a fresh motive of action, divided the obedience of the sol,lier from that which was .his only legitimate head—the Kin:C. If that were so, then LC said that those who had created ihose secret associations — tn trough their rank might be high--t`hough they might be next -s.he throne itself, or amongs t the lowest dregs of the -they were, and people-- must b account able to the repre tentatives of the people assembled in Pariiament for their acti ons ; ~: i l d he was sure all who heard him would agree that it was t.l.'e duty of Parliament to sift the matter to the bottom, and to' be careful to nip in the bud so dangerous a principle of cons• siracy.—(Cheers.) The next toast ss'as " Lord . Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers."—(Drun2s with great enthusiasm.) The CHAIRMAN tht:ll rose to propose the health of their distinguished guest, DarsTel O'Connell.—(Rapturous cheer ing.) After drawing a part.allel between Wallace, the libera tor of Scotland, and O'Connt.'ll, the liberator of Ireland, the lion. Gentleman concluded by t observudeing, that the Irish li -4i of the Scotch of the berator had a claim upon the gra. ' m from the iron rule of present day, for having released th s ic ‘ k liberality of the the Duke of Wellington, and the m. Tamworth Baronet.—(Great cheering., , subsided, said— Mr. O'CoNsIELL, when the applause has s;o.

My other duty is to propose as a toast, " A speedy and effectual reform of the liss.'tse of Lords"—(Loud cheers)—and that I confess is Az , ' 'Prime object of my r oission through England and th:s I country.—(Renewed cheering.) 'Tis now t he leading I object of nay political life.—(Reiterated cheering.) I have found thsit there is nothing co true as that jack' of all trades is roaster of none—(Great laughter and cheering)— and therefore I disclaim occupying the principal portion of My mind with any other topic undi I see the oligarchy in the House of Lords mitigated, and an effectual reform in troduced into that branch of the Legislature.—(Cheers.) This is my present mission, and I am but as it were the bellows'-blower to set the organ in motion.---(Cheers and laughter.) I am engaged in that duty now ; but the full tide of the harniony must flow from you, and yOU will not hear the sacred strain of rational liberty until y , , in effec tually join with me in putting an end to the discord which prevails in our political system by reason of the vice and cor ruption and sinister influence of an irresponsible house of Lor,is. It is, ull almost to didactic prosing to speak upon the sub-. ject ; but there is one observation in which you will at once concur—where is the man who this day twelve months could have o•ot a dozen persons together to listen to him when lie spoke of reform in the House of Lords ?—( Hear, near.) At that time nobody spoke of it, dreamed of it, or imagined it ; and no one would have imagined it, dreamed of it, or spoken of it.—(Cheers.) I appeal to your com mon sense whether they have not reduced us to this dilemma, eithe r to admit ourselves as slaves, or to put down their Mastery over us ?—(Cheers.) For mark you, is it not clear that but half the work of reform is done ? The House of Commons has been reformed, though not to the extent I should wish ; yet it has been reformed to very sound and practical purposes—it has been reformed safely, without the slightest convulsion, without the sacrifice of property, and without the shedding of a drop of blood.—(Hear.) The s,eform has been a good one in manner and in matter ; but wll. st is the advantage of it, if half the mischief is still re main ing—for before the passing of the Ref orm Bill the nouso of Commons served as a screen to protect the House of L o rds, and being composed of the nominees of the Lorsio, it did ,!he business of the Lords, and harmony Was k e pt up between i.', and the Lords, just as it is in any of your dm-nestic establishine. Tits, by the master having the control over the servant, and I.7aking him do his will and bidding.—(Clieers.) Well, we lia:ge made the servant set up for himself:—(Great cheerins.)_os:d I am sure I may appeal to S co tland whether we 'have not set the bondsman free ?---(Reiterated cheering.) Paper voi:',es are left to fritter to pieces in the Lords' pockets—the nominees are become freemen—the indentures of apprenticeship : - ..•nd bond of slavery are torn up—the servant has set up for himself, and the Lords have noses taken a different position to endea vour, if possible, to prevent the servant from prospering in business.—(Great cheering.) Before the Revolution of . 1688, there was a community of feeling and of action be t+ween the Houses of Lords and Commons. Why ? Because ea ch was effected by the prerogatives of the Crown, while there were the materials of disunion and oppression. The Prerojative of the Crown bore, indeed, with greater weight upon the Lord than upon the Commoner ; because, in a desp ot l s . n ;, the nearer the Throne, the greater the share of oppressio n ~....id tyranny. Up to the year 1688, the Lords and F rom that period Commons r. 'td no separate interest. they should haw: be 'n completely separated ; but .4.%%.e Lords whidled the - ' of the fair representation which the peopl e house of C ommons ought out,to afford them, and made 'that branch of the Legislature only an instalment of themselves. ' (C heers.) Now, however, thi., t we have thrown off the fetters, and turned ourselves into :IV independent represen tative body, we find the Lords somet,:::;cg like the figure in e of Dryden's political plays—a hideous monster con cealedt under the veil of humanity. At the conclusion of ~,,e , Play the veil falls' off, and the real features are exhibited, "" 4 then the whole party who have been deceived cry out, the res. less, because you out of ten forget the real one. have been made by these men ? What arts ? What have they added to literature ? What n... virtues do they possess ? What physical force belongs to them ?

Municipal Reform in England and Ireland, and may the good work be speedily completed," which was drank with all the honours. Mr. C. J. TENNANT said , after the speech you have just listened to, I will not be guilty of bad taste or pre sumption in attempting to speak , while c allin g attention to the toast that has been put in to m y hands, forming as it does, a fit and proper corollary to the Reform Bill. Mr. Tennant then gave " The Repeal of the Septennial Act, and Vote by Ballot," which was drank with great enthu siasm. The CHAIRMAN said, that, in giving the next toast he would call on the company to fill a bumper, and after they had heard it, to drink it as they might think it deserved. It was, " The Members for the city of Glasgow—( Loud cheers) —better Members than whom never entered the House of Commons." (The toast was most warmly re sponded to.) Dr. BOWRING, in giving " Ireland, the speedy redress 'of her grievances, and the full establishment of her liberty," spoke in warm terms. of the enthusiastic reception Mr. O'Connell had experienced in Glasgow, and remarked that it seemed as if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had brought Mortimer O'Sullivan to make his appearance in Glasgow simultaneously, in order that they might have an opportunity of witnessin g the difference between the libe rality of Catholicism and the intolerance of Episcopacy.— (Applause and laughter.) Mr. O'CONNELL next proposed the health of the Chair man, Mr. Speirs. He eulogised his conduct in Parliament, and referred to the fact of his having been at one period in the army, the temptation of which to tyrannical pro pensities and arbitrary principles was so well known, but which his mind, formed on the truest principles of indepen dence, spurned and despised. He proposed him as a sol dier, a senator, and a citizen. Drank with great applause. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks said, that many bigots would consider it a dishonour rather than anything else to preside over a company met to do honour to Mr. O'Connell. This meeting will be represented as one hav ing for its object the encouragement of Popery and infidelity, inconsistency which he would have those who made the char i 7 to explain. For himself, he regarded his present po f very high honour. He then proposed the O' health Connell. Mr. Mr. O'CoNNEL:. returned thanks, and gave, " The Lord Provost and Magistrate", sjn as of ' and prosperity to the city of Glasgow." In prefacing the oast, he referredin the .ng;.lan guage of congratulation, to the en..? e that had con: over our municipal relations, and spoke of the necessity of a similar reform in Ireland, the Corporations of which he re presented as consisting of the most worthless characters. Bailie FLEMING returned thanks. He, along with his brethren of the Magistracy, had endeavoured to do their duty ; but no thanks were due to them for that. They were obliged to act correctly by public opinion, and the gentlemen of the press. He might say with Burns, and they all felt, that there were— Chiels amang them takin' notes, An' faith they'll prent them ;" which certainly had its effect. Mr. O'Connell, since he came amongst them, had inspired them with an evident de sire for further Reform, and had invigorated them with courage to obtain a bloodless victory over the errors of our Institutions. He gave " The liberal majority of the House of Commons ; and in the gratitude and sopport of the people m.ly they find a reward for past services, and an in centive to fui.re exertions." Mr. MORGAN O'CONNELL, after a very modest and suitable speech, gave " The new Constituency of Scotland, who have so nobly done their duty." Mr. WEIR, of the Argus, wh his usual eloquence, pre faced a toast to " Mr. Hume, and thanks to him for his meritorious exertions in exposing the infamous Orange con spiracy." In the course of his speech, Mr. W. took occa sion highly to compliment Dr. Brewster, of the Abbey Church, Paisley, who had honoured them with his presence. Dr. M'FAYDEN gave " The Croupiers ;" and Sir Jour' MAXWELL, one of them returned thanks. He complimented Mr. O'Connell in a high degree, and hoped he would take care to inform his countrymen of the warm reception he had met with from Scotchmen. It was a highly necessary thing indeed, that Scotchinen should be on friendly terms with Irishmen ; for, should they be invaded by a foreign toe the assistance of seven millions of men would be no joke.—(Applause.) Mr. RUTIIVEN, M.P. for Dublin, in a long and eloquent speech, gave " The Right Hon. James Abcreromby ; and may the Chair of the House of Commons ever be as wor thily filled." Mr. WALLACE introduced by a short speech the toast " Lord Mulgrave, and a conciliatory policy toward Ireland." Mr. O'CONNELL proposed " The working classes, and the diffusion of knowledge amongst the people—the true security against despotism and anarchy," and spoke at some length in -favour of the diffusion of know ledge. He took occasion to refer to the misrepresenta tions with which he said the Catholics had been as sailed, and stated as an incontrovertible fact, that no per soo had been persecuted in Ireland by the Catholics on account of their religion. He said it appeared as if the curse of God had fallen upon Catholicism in Eng land, on account a the persecutions with which Queen Mary and the Catholic; had assailed the Protestants, and on the other hand, it appeared as if the blessing of God had fallen upon Catholicism in ire l aand, just because in that country no persecution had ever been directed against the Protestants. In reference to the toast, he deprecated any thing like legislative interference between master and workmau. Mr. JOHN TAIT of the Liberator, returned thanks, and gave " The Liberty of the Press, and the abolition of all taxes on knowledge." Mr. WILLIAM DIXON gave ." The abolition of all sine cures and unmerited pensions." He observed that he had given the same toast at public dinners during a period of 25 years, but the abuses still continued as great as ever. Ho imputed the whole blame of sinecures and pensions being still in existence to the House of Commons, whose duty it was to withheld them. Mr. THOMAS DAVIDSON gave'" The Earl of Durham, a nd the Liberal minority of the House of Peers," in the the cour§o of which he warmly eulogised that nobleman, and Lords Melbourne and Brougham, whose exertions in the cause of the people were above all praise. Bailie Crum gave " Free trade with all the world." Mr. PETER M'KENZIE, in a ueat speech, in the course of which he paid a well•merited complimented to Mr. Wal lace, M.P. for Greenock, as an uncompromising advocate of Reform, gave " Reform of the Laws and of the admini stration of justice in Scotland," which was drank amid loud cheers. COMMON COUNCIL. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) EXPENSES OF THE OFFICE OF LORD MAYOR. • On the motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the Report from the Committee in relation to the duties and emoluments of the several officers of the Corporation and the City's revenue, was received and read. The following is an important pas sage in the Report : " We beg leave further to certify, that in respect of the re ference whereby we were directed to examine and report upon the actual expense of the Mayoralty, we directed Mr. Cham berlain and Mr. Town Clerk to prepare and lay before us state ments of the expenses incurred in building and furnishing the Mansion-house, providing plate, repairs, and taxes ; the al lowances to the Lord Mayor, and the salaries and allowances of various officers attached to, and connected with, the Mayoralty ; and having received sundry returns in respect thereof, and been attended by the various officers, we proceeded to consider the same, and have annexed hereto, for the infor mation of this Honourable Court, a statement thereof, as Cul the several returns and accounts upon which SllO4 statements are founded ; by which it will appear, that the annual cost of the Mansion house, reckoning the original outlay at such a per tentage as we were advised by the Clerk of the City Works,' and various expenses connected with and attendant on the Mayoralty, a considerable portion of which is esti mated upon the averages of the actual expenditure of the last seven years, amounts to the sum of 25,0341. 7s. Id., ex clusive of the expense of the justice-room at the Mansion house, amounting to 934/. 4s. ad, per annum. And we find that beyond these amounts, the corporation had paid the sum of 54,9911. 4s. 7d. to the various officers of the Lord Mayor's household, awl to the representatives of such of those officers as have died since the period of the arrangement entered into with them on the 30th of January, 1823, for the abolition of the right of alienation of their respective offices, and whi c h cum is not included in the foregoingstatement, „ filar) further report,.that the expenses of the plate fur nished for the Mansion-house, included in the said statement, is exclusive of thes o u n i trb of a fl i O u c g/, o fi u s r , t.

Mr. WILLIAMS—I do not think the reading Of the Ap pendix is at all necessary. - Mr. Alderman WILSON---I am of a very different opi nion. I hold it would be irregular to proceed with the dis cussion of the subject before the Appendix is read, as that Appendix is distinctly referred to in the Report. Mr. WILLIAMS—In that case let the clerk read it. The clerk then read the following statements, which were listened to with the deepest attention by the Court : STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN THE REPORT. Original Outlay Estimated Rate in Building, &c. of Value per Ct. Estimated expense of build ing and furnishing the Mansion-house, pursuant to several orders of the Court of Common Coun- cil of the 30th April, 1730, 15th Sept. 1731, X. s. .d. and 11th June, 1734 70,985 13 5" Expense of extraordinary repairs and alterations... 5,043 7 3 Estimated value of the site of the Mansion-house, subject to the ground rent chargeable thereon Plate provided for the said house, from the building . to the 31st Dec., 1834 11,531 16 31 Expenses of providing li brary Expense of providing the State Barge, 1407. 2,579 17 1 Expense in relation to the state coach in 1777-78 1,065 3 0 s. d. Mr. WALLACE shortly returned thanks, and in doing so complimented Mr. O'Connell for the great assistance he had received at his hands, in his labours to reform the law of Scotland. Bailie HEDDERWICK gave " The French people, and may the present eclipse of their liberties only be a prelude to their establishment on a more durable foundation." This concluded the toasts, and a number of the gentle men having previously retired, the CHAIRMAN suggested that they should now separate, and in doing so, he had only to say, " They were happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again." After a hearty cheer had been given for Mr. O'Connell, the company broke up at halt past eleven o'clock. 7L p. et. 5,322 0 7 BELFAST INVITATION DECLINED BY MR. O'CONNELL. It has for some days been known to the public that it had been resolved at a numerous and influential meeting of the Belfast Reformers, to invite the Learned Member for Dublin to a public entertainment in the above town on his return from Scotland. A requisition to that effect was numerously signed, and a deputation appointed to wait on Mr. O'Connell, requesting him, " as the friend of civil and religious liberty, the strenuous advocate of reform, and the powerful supporter of an Administration which promises to do justice to Ireland," to accept the invitation. The deputation had an interview with the Learned Gentleman in Edinburgh, when he returned the following answer, published in the Northern Whig, declining the intended honour : 41. p. ct. 954 0 0 "TO JOHN SINCLAIRE, WILLIAM PIRRIE, AND THOMAS o ' HAGAN,ESqUIRES, _ .

The Court would recollect that when he first brought this subject under their consideration, he stated that the. expense the city was put to on account of the office of mayor was 21,0001. a year. He believed that the members of the Court could scarcely credit at that time that the expenses were so great ; one member, in particular, he meant the member for Farringdon, took up the matter very warmly, and complained of the state ment as one which inquiry would most certainly show to be incorrect. The result was, that a motion was made for an investigation, and the Committee, of which he had acted as chairman, was appointed to conduct the in quiry. Of that Committee. he would take this opportunity to say that it had devoted the greatest possible attention to thp, sabject and he was most happy also tostate, that vvvry member of the Committee who had attended the investigation, with the exception of two who were out of town, had signed this Report.—(Hear, hear.) He now found that, so far from his original statement having been incorrect, it was 4,0001. less tan thc actual amount of the cost.—(Hear, hear.) This arose from his having ,9 1 411 e g1.44s at the value of the Mansion house, whi c h, awous to avoid exaggeration, he had c o:— short, by what he had stated, of the real —tamed peared, then, that here they 110 amount. It ap show of which along -- • an office, the pageantry and _., cost them upwards of 25,0001. a year. near, hear.) He really thought that when the citizens came to contrast the duty performed with the amount of this expenditure, they would be very likely to en tertain the opinion that such an expenditure ought not to continue. The Hon. Gentleman then 'Tve77i7o7e7cami.- / nation of some of the statements contained in the report. The Committee found, that the costs of the fittings -up of Guildhall for the annual dinner was, on an average of the last seven years, .528/. It had been said that the Sheriffs !paid one-half of this sum ; but on referring to the books, they had not been able to find that credit had been given for any such payment on the part of the Sheriffs. It was also ascertained that there had been 4,5001. ex I%lpended in plate for the - house-house s i nce the-pew 1711. Th , . was a grqa di-4 of plate at the * Mansion -house r-' re, that pciriod, and they could., i n ) u trace of its ;• viler to no paid for out ..,ained that it 91 t hq r jity dash.

"Act, t was not the Lord Mayor's order that had been acted upon ; the Chamberlain was bound not to have com plied with it ; but the order was given by that irresponsible power the L;ourt of Aldermen, which gave a pension to the Recorder without the sanction of this Court.--(Hear, hear.) He thought that the Report of which he Was speak ing fully established the necessity of some reform in the Court of Aldermen.—(Cheers.) He 136ked to add, that the Committee had examined r.. 1.1 the details with great care, and they had . appeaded to the Report every item, which made up the gross amount of 25,000/. Some of the itQilla they had experienced difficulties in comin a They had writt en t o t h ose Aldermen who had_ fiUe thet. office of Mayor, and more surprised at the vfmetanee they showed to produce their accents ; indeed., Sir Peter Laurie was the only exception ; from him elfzine had they received a reply. Mr. T/CKNELL admitted that lie had complained of the statements of the Hon, Gentleman, as to the cost of the office of mayor ; and he wished to be understood as continu ing to protest against it, till, after grave consideration, it Was found to be correct. Notwithstandinc , what he heard of the Report of the Committee, he could not believe that the pageantry and show of the office cost so much as 25,0091. a year. The office of the chief magistrate of .the capital of this great empire was one o f considerable honou7 and utility ; an d if he who filled it were called by any other ' name than th a t o f L ord Mayor, still the duties w0u1.4" to be perf orme d. T he Lord Mayor was C remain the rive r Th ames, and in that capacity al`:,ne hanservator e had of i tant duties to p er f orm. But he woul:" not go into mpor ter pour, as th ere wou ld b e an or;„.the mat at greate r l eng th h ereafter. Mr. TAYLOR said the lion. Chairman of the Committee had stated the amw7. - dt of plate purchased in the last year, and in an avers e of years ; but could he say what had been the anantit expended in plate during the one or two pr e . year s 2---(H ear, hear, hear.) .. Mr, WILLIAMS said th a t the Contlnittee had thought it most fair to get the returns for thelast seven years, and then strike the average. They would have been justified in ad a larger e ding the 6081., bi `...had deter m i ne d not to do so, that being t'venditure than u sua l. OM TAYLOR said th a t as 2 881. a-year was the ave rage for seven years, and the sum of 6084 was excluded, he presumed the expenditure must have been verylittle in one year. M. WILLIAMS replied, that during the two mayor alities of Sir John Key, there was no expenditure for plate. —(Hear, hear.) He did not know whether this was attri butable to the indisposition of Sir John Key to expend the money, or to the indisposition of the Court of Aldermen to allow it.—(A laugh, and cheers.) As to the Lord Mayor being Conservator of the Thames, there was an allowance of 3,1901. exclusively for that, and which was not calcu-, lated in the account.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WILSON said that he did not rise to op pose the printing of the Report ; on the contrary, he thought it highly desirable, after what had been said, that the Report should be printed. He could not allow it t go forth to the public without contradiction, that the office of Lord Mayor put the Corporation to an expens•:; of up wards of 25,0001. a year : it would be grossly misleading the public to let it go forth that the cost of the office was anything near that amount.—(Hear, Lear.) He should be much surprised if, when gentlemen got the Report home., and examined it calmly, they did not find that thy, ex pense was really not more than half what it had b,p_en es timated at. In his opinion, the calculations na , Report were mo s t un f a i r . It was said that tl- ...de in the ,e office cost 25,0001. a year ; but he begged to ask of this statement, whether they thought tir f :nose who made at if the office were abolished, it would ircrease the.. by 25,000/. per anr,um.—(Ctie s • r. i namberlain's balance of " Oh, oh !") The cal culations seemed made wi . view to promote th e o bj ec t s h I) of those r:ao desired to t lli the office of Lord Mayor. -- (No, no.) He w‘ o. (1 . , say that such is the object of the aLeport. Mr. TAYLP _;R--•-•TIIC object is to keep them honest.— (A laugh. (TMr. Alderman WILSON—To keep whom honest ? i , aughter.) Mr. TAYLOR--Why the Mayor and Aldermen. Mr. WILLIAMS said that all he had recommended was, that irresponsible power should be taken from the Alder men.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WILSON did not mean to deny that there might be a good deal of judicious curtailment, and that there were some useless offices which might be got rid of, but he objected to this being made a ground for abolishing the office of Chief Magistrate. The honour and credit of the City of London required that they should have a Lord Mayor. As to the cost, he believed it would be found to be not half the amount of the estimate. If they abolished the office of their Chief Magistrate, they would not thereby effect the reduction they expected of the expenditure charged under that head. For instance, he supposed the Court would still have its Marshal in uniform. • Mr. LAURENCE objected to worthy Aldermen going into details when the subject was to be hereafter discussed. The LORD MAYOR--110 not interrupt the worthy AI. derman. Mr. LAURENCE—I have a right to rise to order, arid I think it very indecorous in the Lord Mayor to endeavour to stop me. The LORD MAYOR—You have no right to interrupt a speaker. Mr. LAURENCE—I have a right, Sir ; I haYe a right. Mr. Alderman WILSON resumed, and continued to stig matize the report as calculated to mislead the public. Mr. TAYLOR thought it better to, avoid going into the Report now, as it was to be printed, and they were to have time for its due consideration. lie considered it possible that it might contain some errors, but they would not be found very material. The LORD MAYOR said they must felicitate themselves on the result of the inquiry which had satisfied them that a more fallacious attempt could not have been made. He could conscientiously declare, as T,..,0rd Mayor of London, that the charge was most P...;iacious. In his person and that of his predecessors, tbr..: cost would be found to amount to not half the cost est;:inated. The motion was t ',len agreed to. Lord -.JAn Russell's father-in-law was a true Tory, and a s 'we learn from the Devizes Gazette, dealt damnation w it La the most exemplary liberality—if without reason not wholly without rhyme, as the following moreeau exemplifies: " RADICAL REFORM. " Abjuration of Almighty God. Murder justified. Robbery and plunder justified. The Law and Glory of England,--All corporate Bodies, and all social Order subverted. All Ranks and Distinctions levelled. The belief in a future existence derided. Every Pauper to elect Representatives in Parliament, altho' he has nothing to represent." MELANCHOLY EVENT.—LISBON, SEPT. 15.-- Mr. Lowther, an English officer in the liberatjm g army, died on the 12th, of consumption. A melancholy circumstance attended his death. One hour after he expired, his mother landed from the packet with a physician she brought pur posely from England to attempt his cure. This.poor lady's grief may be more easily conceived than described. PICKPOCKETS. —A correspondent complains of the want of due vigilance on the part of the police. He states that he has had his pocket picked twice, at noon-day, within the last week. SINGULAR AND DETERMINED CASE OF SUl- ClDE.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was holden at the sign of the Duke of Wellington, in North-street, Bethnal green, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on the body of Wil liam Smith, aged 34 years, who had drowned himself in his water-butt. It appeared from the testimony adduced, that the deceased, who latterly was an occasional labourer in the WeSt India Dock, had been formerly regularly employed by the. St. Katharine's Dock Company, but for some reason or other, which did not appear, had lo s t hi s b ert h t h ere. This circumstance, together with his not b e i ng a bl e to get constant work at the est India Dock, had been the cause of much uneasinesP to him. On Tuesday night he was very restleo::, and frequently a.t.z:Z;xe his wife by his excia,.. t;-• • his sleep about the Docks, At five on - z,"; morning his wife missed him out of bed,. ednesda; perceiving that his hat was still in the be , :i-.;;;0 1 . , - :Lie instantly got up and went down std;;. in 1004., o'f him, and in a short time per ceived his feet sticking out of the water-butt in the yard.

THE REGISVRATIONS. (Continued from th. e Sun of yesterday.) CITY OF LONFJON—KING'S BENCU„ The vote of Mr. Job Bridie was objected . t o Rowcroft, on th e ger.eral ground of want of qualc by Mr. ation. Mr. TROTT comptained that th e objectie:as were taken so generally on th , ..t other side. When Ire considered the inconvenience oe , Jasioned, he was astonished that shame alone did not r.revent the continuance of such a course ; if the substant=ial grounds of objection were stated, much trouble woy:id be saved. Mr. Ilowcroft said that he was only following the ex ample 'which had been s et i n the ot.i.:er Court. When those on tl'.e Other side talked of shame, they ought, to look at holne, and remember that flier ) , had themselves objected on general grounds to some of the most wealt'Ay merchants in the city of Londori. It was then shown that the premisca occupied by Mr. Bridie were of the required value., Ind it was found on refe rence to the poor-*rate book, that he was not rated to the first poor-rate rnade for the rear. Mr. Rowe,roft submitted' that this was a failure in tire qualificat;mu, and that the objection must be allowed. Mr. TiouLYN reserv e d th e po i nt for consideration. 'everal objections, involving no points of novelty. were then discus s ed, an d t h e Court adjourned at half vat four o'clock. COMMON PLEAS. Mr. CRAIG gave judgment yesterday, in the case of Thomas Amnar and others, claiming in r'..-spect of nine counting-houses, &c., situate at 46, Limed-street. It ap 'pearea that the premises in question are ci building in form of a. parallelogram, let out in counting-houses ; the lesme, Mr. Bannard, living in one part of it, kereping the key of the outer gate, and h av i ng i n c h arge t h e duty of keispinn- tbe ' different portion s o f th e prem i ses in a prope r s tate of clean liness. Mr. Sharpe, in objection, had cor,tended that the proper construction of the words of the I , 7th section of the Act, " Any house, warehouse, r:;oun.ting-house, shop, or other dwelli ng ," a cownting-house, to giv e a must be a separ a t e 'building, and thq claim to v o t e , the things se t f ort h . before " other building" must imve been intended to be buildings, tyr the word " other' would not have been use/J. Mr. Crr.:ig stated his rea so n 9, for arri v i ng a t t h e conclus;.on, that the' word s " other I .duildings" bad not the effect of ree.ricting the meaning, of the word " countir.g-house" to what was a separat" building, and that 4 :nese counting houses were soffir - ient counting-houses thin the meaning of th e A c t.- - NO other case o f i mportance oc:ztirred, and he Court ad ; 'Claim allowed. journcd half-past four o'clock..
