Could Ph e have dictated Peace to Europe %—(Pepeated cheers.)—No, Gentlemen, in such hands she must have snot, into degradation and contempt; for presumption and ignorance would have talicn place of ta lent and honour, and we should have fallen, perhaps to rise no more.—T,epeated and continued cheers.)—Tint, Gentle men, I feel the snhject too near my heart to dwell much uron; T will, therefore, no longer trespass upon your pa tience, hut will proc-ed to give you the health of that Hero whese Splk,diti Victory we are this day called upon to cele brate, who is so sostly entitled to the glorious ariellation of Guardian ofmnr Rights, our Liberties, our Constitution — °Jere the Chairman was interrupted by continued and re peatetZ applause)—the Health, Gentlemen, of that Hero, whale name will 'no immortal when our's shall he uo more— " THE DUKE OF WELLIMITON." " Gentlemen, the enthsia.stie mariner with which you hare been pleased to drink the health of Wellington induces me to se.T.eert , e.sr will net eats over in oblivion the splendid SerVicas of the departed Nelson; and although, Gersriemen, it is not, alas ! iu our power to drink his health, yet it is in our power', us solemn silence, to perpetuate his memory.— ' ,e*-1 ors wit pardon a professional waa if he endeavours to bring before you a shun review of the Life of his lamented `Chief, and I shall take rip but few moments of your time.— Gentlern.n. saws after Nelson first entered the British Navy, we teed hiss proceeding upon a voyage of discovery towards the , North Pole; and one morning. the ship being locked up in young Nelson was found missing; at length, Gentlemen, 'after diligent search, he was discovered upon a distant part of the ice, chasing a ferocious bear. rpun being asked by his companions how he dared, alone, before break of day, to com mit such an sat of temerity, he cooly replied, that he wanted the skin to ornament his mother's carriage. A few years fur der on, Gentlemen, brings us to-the American War, where we ea. young Nelson now raised to the rank of Lieutenant, and serving on board the Lowestoffe frigate, in action with an American Letter of Marque, during a tremendous storm. After the Enemy had struck his colours, the First Lieutenant was ordered to board, and take possession of the prize; but De sorsa returnekl, declaring that, from the state of the ele snents, it was impossible to persevere in that service. The Nester then, an old experienced seaman, volunteered ; but young Nelson, his superior Officer, prevented him, saying, " Stop, my friend, if I aru unsuccessful it will be your turn then." He stepped into the boat, and, notwithstanding the state of the dements, gained possession of the prize.—A few years further on, Gentlemen, brings es to the Revolutionary War, when we find Nelson now raised to the rank of Captain, and commanding the Captain, of 74 guns, on the memorable day of the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. Upon that occasion, not content with taking the St. Nicholas, of 80 gnus, his op e ponent in the enemy's line, but he made a bridge of her, and passed over, to the St. Joseph, of 120 guns, being, Gentlemen, the largest ship that ever entered the British Navy.—(Cou tinued applause.)—When Nelson determined upon passing over to the St. Joseph, he animated his gallant followers with Ureic words: " Victory or Westminster Abbey ;" in Other words, " Death or Victory." the result was, he gained complete possession of both ships.—Two years further on, Gentlemen, we find bins now dignified with the Order of the Bath, and raised to the rank of Rear-Admiral, commanding a detached Squadron at tire Battle of the Nile. He attacked the Enemy upire a plan entirely his own, and, although se verely wounded in the head, lie carried victory to perfect an nihilation, for not a single ship of that squadron ever return ed to France to tell the tale.—A few years more, Gentlemen, we find bins now raised to the Pee age, and uniting st Copen hagen the Wisdom of a Statesman with the valour of a Wa rier.—A few years snore brings us to the memorable day of the Bettie of Trafalgar. " Gentlemen, it will scarcely be necessary for rue, at this distance of time, to remind you of the unexampled skill, the distinguished bravery, with which he attacked the Enemy.— Gentlemen, when the Victory, hearing the Flag of Nelson, nt the head of her column, was leading the Fleet down to the Enemy, Nelson ordered his men to lie down at their guar to.s, heing determined to reserve his own fire until he should get into his position; he clid this with a view of presenting a smaller surface to the raking shot of the Enemy; in this.situ.l - many of his men were killed and wounded ; it was, Gen tlemen, during this awful pause that Nelson retired for a roomeet from the * public eye, to offer up in his closet to the God of Battles his most fervent prayers fur the success of the day. Gentlemen, after his death these words were found inserted in pencil'in his pocket-book— " May the Great God whom I worship, grant tp me and " :ay Country a great and glorious Victory, and may flu •` 4.lanity, after Victory, be the prominent feature in the c:taraeter of the British Fleet ; with respect to myself in r comma my sou ilito Laiids of :ii;n calla " gave it Tue.—Amen! Amen ! Amen !" " Gentlemen, after Nelson had performed this serious and essential duty, he re-assumed his important command. Com municating now to the Fleet, that " England expected that every man would do his duty." he steered steadily down for his marl; ; coming at length into actual contact., he opened that fire he had so long reserved. So tremendous, Gentle men, was its effect, that the first broadside brought down the National Colours of France, together with the individnal Flag of her Commander-in-Chief. Geolemen, after he bail effect ed this, he passed on, dealing havoc and destruction wherever he went, until at low,' receiving the. report that nineteen had struck their colours, and exclaiming Thank God I have done my duty,' he yielded his gailant spirit to the Cause of that Country to which he had dedicated every moment of his existehce as a man. Whether we view the life of N e lson in the shade of private retirement at Merton, or whether, Gen ;iciuen, lye view him in his proper station treading the quar ter-deck as a British Admiral, or whether, Gentlemen, doing the duty of a Soldier on shore, at Corsica or Teneriffe, we shall in each station find bins a credit to himself, an honour to his Country. In the first situation, at Merton, you will find him a loyal, a patriotic 'Citizen, a valuable, a sterlinz Friend ; irs the second, at sea. a British Admiral of great unexampled renown ; in the third, a gallant,. active, un daunted Soldier., Nelson had been in 'upwards of Hi) Enr pagements,"had lost his right eye, his right arm, had been variously wounded in different parts Of his body,—and Gen tlemen, to wind up ail,. he.willingly sacrificed his most in valuable life to bis.Cotintry. " Gentlemen, I have now, as it. has this day presented it self to me, given you a basiy sketch of the life of Nelson, and I trust that I have said quite sullielent to induce you to join me in drinking in solemn silence—lmmortal Honour to his Memory." The different Branches of the Royal Family ware drank. " The gioriaus and ever-memorable 18th of Ju ne, and the heroes of Waterloo." " The Menicniei of Generals Picton and Ponsonby, and all the Gallant Officers and Soldiers whu felt in the glorious Conflict." The Vice-President (Mr. LLOYD) then rose and said,— " I hare, in the name of this Society, to express the pride and pleasure they this day derive from haring at its head a Gen tleman, whose very profession would throw a lustre over any society—‘shose urSanity, and vivacity, and politeness, giVe spirit to the present scene; but, most of all, whose gallant deeds demand our admiration, whose health we would pray for, and now propose to drink— " Our President, the brace Captain Humphreys, of his 'ajesty's Navy, and thanks to him for sustaining the honour of the British Flag at Sea. We likewise thank him for the honour he,has flinchy done the Wellington Club."—(Three times three—most ht-art: . cheers.) A rilost excrilent nem and Appropriate Speech front the President followed, vv io gave— " Prosperity, cordiality, and unanimity to the Wellingtou Club. 66 The Lord and Lady of the Manor, Lord and Lady " The Rector of Stockport, the Rev. G. Present. 66 His Majesty's Ministers. " The Lord Lieutenant of the County. " The Members Inc the County. "‘ Britain►'s best Tin!waft:, hes Wooden AValis. " Community, Unity, Navigation, and Trade.

" The Vice-President. • " The Secretary, Mr. damn Elliott Turner, Father of the Society." Upon his health being drank, he replied in an excellent Speech, wherein be entered into the principles of the Society as having- foundation in loyalty and' true patriotism; Dud the object being to rally round our happy Constitution, now as sailed on all sicks by desperate Incendiaries. " The Treasurer, Mr. finclAinson. " The Maiichester Members, and thants to them for their cordial support." Mr. XVHITELEGG returned thanks in handsome terms. " The London Members of the Society;" which was noticed by Mr. Lo nos in a neat speech. The health of Mr. SuurrLswonTH wits given at an early part of the day, and a suitab!F ac knowledgment made for a full length port:At of the I);,ke of WELLINGTON, at the bead of the din ing-room, which he had painted in his more thHti usual capital stile, in full uniform, decorated with the orders worn by his Grace, which picture Mr. S. made a present of to the Society. The Secretary recited some well written lines, composed upon the occasion, by Mr. Bon'ter, whose health was drank. A discharge of c'nnon, by signal, joined the cbeeting when the Duke was toasted, which gave great effect to the compliment intended. The Songs, chiefly by Members of the Club, were ap propriately thrown in—and every thing contri buted to inspire the party with real and'gennine conviviality. . During the day Colours were disFlayed;—the hell; continued to ring ; cannon to fire ; the trnop of Yeomanry paraded and fired yak's; the Wa terloo Alen were regaled, ands far spent night closed to the entire satisfaction of every true Lo ver of his Country. FRAUD.—Yesterday afternoon a man, having the appearance of a gentleman, went into the strop of Mr. Grant, watchmaker, in High -street, Aldgate, and agreed for the purchase of a double bottomed gold watch, upon a diamond, for 251. for which he tendered in payment a bill of ex change for 501. purporting to be drawn by a person of the Larne of Maud, and payable at Messrs. Smith, Payne and Smith's, dated the Ist of May last. This man called himself Dr. Wil liams, saving he was from the country, and was at the Swan-with-two-Necks, where he invited Mr. (rant yesterday evening at ten o'clock. All this Mr. Grant incautiously believed, and parted with his watch anti 251. in change. On in quiry at the Banker's, nothing is known of the parties, nor vas he known at the inn. Mr. Grant applied at Bow-street office, but no assist ance could be rendered him, as he did not know the man. TH.E SUN. OOLENI QUIS DloEli FA LSI) AUDEdVT LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1819.

( - Morning Post The glorious and ever-mentor-4)/e triumph of Waterloo was celebrated'with the utmost enthu siasm at Brussels on the 1841), when the Patriotic Societies went in plocession to the field of battle, in order to demonstrate their gratitude to the memory of those warriors hy whom the unparalleled victory was achieved, The morn ing was ushered in with the ringing of bells; Tc Dow was performed in the Cathedral the Aa•horities, bo , li civil and military, were present at the solemnity; and in the evenng there was a generpl illumination. We should be glad if some such ceremonies were annually ohset veil in this country, to whose genius and heroism the world is mainly indebted for that splendid and wipa tandem! achievement. We li.eve those patriotic times to the shades of d<-pitted heroQs , ti,cy keep keep alive a glowing fire within our bosoms, a sacred enthusiasm, which help to nerve the sol- . diet's arm, and anima re the Staiesman's . zeal, in those trying moments of a nation's fate, when the flame of liberty is fanned by the bread, of tame, and the memory of past deeds kindles an emula tion, which in honest breasts aspires to true glory in a just and virtuous cause. [New Timm) It is stated that Lord Cochr;ine has written to some of his friends in London, from on hoard the squadron off Valparaiso, and that he declares be would have captured the British frigate Andro machelf he had not been restrained from so doing by the Insurgent Government of Chili, under whose authority he pretends to act. It is to be hoped his friends wil,l take an early opportunity of remontrating with his Lordship on this sub- - ject. Whether he conkd have captured the An dromache or nor, if he had tried, may perhaps be doubtful ; but there cannot be a shadow of doubt that the firing a single gun into her would have sub jected his Lordship to a capital indictment / ; and as it de, that if he takes any 13ritish vessel, he will run a great hazard of being tried for piracy, should be ever come within the reach of a British Admiralty Court.
