I will just read to you the words that I Nllarstiliihattoccasion. They were the following :—" lam N t ' Is th e r___Hs enou g h to imagine that the course I recom- IVI, e 4 t 0 0 ,.. u ntY one befitting us to adopt, but I think it fair to h i t I '' and O penly, how far I think a change beneficia m l." then stated I *ow repeat. Ido not suppose that Y doctrines alone are the right, ones I merely put forward can- ' didly and openly to the world that which I imagine to be best. I do not want all other Refoiltiet's lii siter'igeo their opinions to mine, nor am I inclined pertinaciously to adhere to a propo sition if I am shown that a better can be adopted in its stead. I seek amongst honest and fair Reformers for the mutual dis cussion and deliberate canvass of opinions. The following are the terms in which in the speech I haVe already referred to I introduced my proposition for household suffrage :—" The right of voting I propose in these districts should be given to all inhabitant householders bond fide rated to church or poor, or assessed to or paying direct taxes for six months previous to the first day of election, not having received parochial relief." Such so right of voting amounted, as my learned friend in the chair can inform you, to what in law is commonly known under the acceptation of " household suffrage." I will fairly own that the proposition did not originate with me; indeed it would not have been befit ting a man so young as I was at the time to come forward as the originator of a measure of Such magnitude and impot ence. I only adopted it after it had been the subject of long and deliberate examination by men of far greater ability and experience than I could pretend to. It was first originally proposed in the declaration of the friends of the people in 1797, of which meeting my father was chairman.—( Cheers. ) It was next brought forward in a motion made by Lord Grey in the same year, on which occasion Lord Grey proposed that the country should be divided into districts, and that household suffrage should be established. If you will turn back to the debate on that occasion, you will find that the proposition was supported by Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, and Mr. Erskine.. Fur thermore, according to Mr. Wyvill's published statement by authority, Mr. Pitt himself was in 1785 an advocate for house hold suffrage. Mr. Fox, in the memorable Speeds which he made on that occasion, declared that it was absolutely essential to a plan of reform. His words are so terse and apposite, that I am snre you will forgive me for reading them to you.— ( Hear, hear.) " I think that to extend the right of elec tion to housekeepers, is the best and most advisable plan of reform. I think, also, that it is the most petted recur rence to first principles. Ido not mean the first principles of society—nor to the abstract principles of representation —but to the first known and recorded principles of our Constitution."—( Loud cheers.) I can also refer, in addition to those authorities, to the recorded decisions of the House of Commons, who have always decided where a pecu liar difficulty arose in a case that household suffrage was by the law of the land the common right of every inhabitant. The House of Commons' decisions have twice declared that "of common right all the inhabitant householders and residents within the borough ought to have voice in the election." In therefore advocating household suffrage, I only advocate that which would be a recurrence to the best principles of the con stitution, and which has been supported and enforced by some of the wisest and greatest men that this country has produced. I need not detain you with regard to the proposition for short ening the duration of Parliaments ; we are all agreed as to the necessity that exists for such a measure.—( Cheers.) With respect to the ballot, I know perfectly well that it has been & trisputed point even amongst the best Reformers. —. (Hear, hear.) I know that some of the most determined and honest Reformers believe that, so far from insuring indepen ience, it would necessarily produce corruption. I mention these things to show that a difference of opinion exists with re gard to the ballot, not between me and those who advocate the ballot and the common enemy, but between us and some of out best friends amongst the Reformers. My own opinion is, that the ballot is the surest safeguard against corruption, and the most certain protection for that independent exercise of the right of voting which was absolutely necessary for insuring the rights and liberties of the people.—( Cheers.) What I said at Glasgow I will now repeat to you—that I am never ashamed of yielding my own opinions to those of my friends—that I do not condemn a compromise when, a mea sure being proposed, it is necessary to meet the views of the various friends of it—that some of the details should be altered, in order that the common object of all may be carried. But the species of compromise that I do condemn is, when a mea sure is altered from its original object to conciliate those who differ from us in toto on the subject.—( Cheers.) Such a species of compromise is one that I would never assent to. If at the period of the Glasgow dinner I thought it necessary to recommend union amongst Reformers, how much more neces sary do I consider it now, at the present momentous crisis. — (Loud cries of " Hear.") We have a great struggle coming on before us—one that will call for the exercise of the most deter mined energies we possess, against a most powerful and com mon enemy.—( Cheers.) If you will take my advice, I would say to you, and all my fellow-countrymen engaged in a com mon cause, wave all speculative opinions, and endeavour only to see how to make your force the strongest, and your resist ance the most effectual.—( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, my hon. friend has alluded to court intrigue, which has been displayed in the late events. I cannot describe to you the dismay with which I behold such infatuation.--( Immense cheering.) I con fess, however, I am not surprised at it, for I have been too long aware what work there had been going on in secret, which only waited for a seasonable time, such as they seem to consider the present, to have the mine explode —( Cheers.) I confess to you that I, for one, do not regret what has taken place.--( Cheers. ) We, at all events, know against whom we shall have to con ' tend.—( Hear, hear.) If the battle is to be fought, as it neces sarily now must be, let it, at any rate, be what is called " a fair stand-up fight."—( Cheers and laughter.) Set us see who are to be the victors ; let us have a clear stage and no favour. —( Cheers.) If, indeed, the people of this country are Tories, —if, indeed, they are turned anti-Reformers, the sooner the fact is known the better.—( Hear, hear.) Who are those who are about to supply the places of the late Ministers, so con tumeliously and insultingly dismissed ? Who are they, but those Tories who have voted, who have struggled, and in trigued against every measure of reform that has been pro posed up to the present moment ?—( Cheers.) Those are the persons who are now called to administer the affairs of this empire, and it remains to be proved by your declarations at meetings of this description, and by that dissolution which I think absolutely inevitable—(Cheers)—it remains, I say, to be proved by such means whether this party possess your con fidence and the confidence of the people of this country, as well as the confidence of the Sovereign. I have observed, that our opponents have already put forward two rallying cries, the first of which is, " The Church is in danger."— ( Great laughter.) What, I ask, do they mean by the word Church ?—( Hear, bear.) If by it they mean clerical sine cures, pluralities, non-residence, and those disgraceful in equalities which exist in the payment of the working clergy —if these are the things they mean by the word Church, then must I confess that the Church is in danger—very great, very serious, and very imminent danger.—( Loud cheers. ) But if by the word Church, is meant real religion— the pure doctrines of the Protestant faith—if, as I believe, it means the congregation of the faithful—if it means the main- tenance of the true and working ministers of religion, then I say that the church was never in less danger, and never better supported. I will venture to say, that at no period of the history of this country were religious principles more widely diffused than at present. I would appeal to the clergy themselves whether such be not the fact ? lam glad indeed to find that it is 80, convinced as I am that no country can ever flourish without religion being deeply impressed on the minds of the people, affording as it does the best security for tranquillity in worldly matters, as well as for peace and happiness hereafter. Another cry is, " The Monarchy is in danger." From whom ?—( Hear.) I look around to the north, the south, the east, and the west, and I never have been able to hear a word uttered bearing the semblance of the shade, of a shadow of an objection made to monarchical institutions. I never heard anything approaching to a demand for republican institutions, and wisely, in my opinion, convinced as I am that a constitutional monarchy affords the best security for liberty.—( Hear, hear.) I must say, that those are very ill-advisers of the Crown who put such notions into the bead of the Sovereign—( Great cheering)—who attempt to persuade him that the great fund of loyalty which has always existed in this country has suffered any diminution. I believe, in fact, that it prevails more strongly at the present moment than ever it did, and that it is only pent up and not e xhibited, be cause, in the first !place, there is no occasion for calling it forth, and because, in the next, those who ought to excite it have exhibited too little sympathy for the wishes and wants of the people. • Neither of these two cases is well founded— neither the Crown nor the Church is in danger ; but I will tell you what is in danger—it is the oligarchy.—( Great cheer ing.) The fact is, that for a long period of time, in former days, in the days of George 111. and George IV., the Sove reign of this country was entirely in the hands of a faction. He was in fact a mere puppet, to be moved according to their wishes ; and all power and all honours were wielded entirely for the benefit of the faction itself. The Reform Bill, they saw, gave them a death-blow, and now they are about to try a last struggle to endeavour to regain that power which it wrested from them. After we had destroyed their strong holds, after their fortresses had fallen successively, they have pitched upon a great military commander, who is to come for ward and arrest the progress of that reform under whose ex terminating hand the corporation abuses, the church abuses, and all other abuses in the institutions of the country, were about to be swept away. I confess to you that this great mi litary commander whom they have selected will find it to have been much easier to take Badajos and Ciudad Rodrigo than to retake the liberties and independence of the people.— ( Great cheering.) I say that in my opinion he will utterly fail in such an attempt ; I mistake my countrymen much if it can be otherwise. Tory success is incompatible with the power that the Reform Bill has given you, with the liberal spirit which prevails throughout the country, and with the mighty influence exercised by an able press. I repeat, that under such circumstances, it would be utterly impossible for this Tory military commander to succeed in this anti-constitu tional war. To follow up the military metaphor I have em ployed, I suppose that if he takes upon himself the conduct of affairs, he and his party will open with a plan of their cam paign. It is possible enough that, finding that the temper of the country will not admit of a restriction of reform, this party may appear in another and a new character. They may, per haps, put themselves forward as Liberals and Reformers.—( A laugh.) Now I will only say th a t I can n o t conceive anything that would be more disgusti ng or di sgrace f u l t h an suc h an abandonment of principles, by one whom I have heard over and over again oppose reform in the H ouse o f L or d s , an d w h om I have heard with astonishment declare before reform was carried, that if he were called upon to frame a consti tution, he could not frame a more perfect one than that which then existed. It is possible that the Tories may there fore appear before us like wolves in sheep's c l ot hi ng —( A l aug h) —but I think you will agree with me, that if ever such a thing should take place, it would be most disgusting to be hold such a disgraceful abandonment of principle, and I am sure that such a step, if it should be taken, would be cal culated to destroy the character of public men in the eyes of the people—( Hear.) No, if we are to have a Tory Govern ment, in God's name let it be a downright honest, high church, anti-reforming, Tory administration. Such a government would be an intelligible one. We should know how to deal 'rut SUN, LONDON, FRIDAIt, ITOVPMI3_ER 21, 1834. with it. But let us have no mongrel one. Let us not havc a government calling itself Tory, and acting upon reforming principles, merely for the sake of Downing-street and quarter. day. Gentlefrien, 1 liave aided to the rallying cries of the enemy, may I venture to tell you what ought to be ours ii Let ours be reform, liberty, and the constitution—( Immense cheering.) Let us, as I said before, throw aside all petty dif foreriees, and be prepared for the coming struggle—( Cheers. ) Let us form associations (immense cheering) in every town, in every village in the empire. How have the Tories succeeded in supplanting the Reform Ministers but by union and combi nation. Let us take a lesson out of their book. Let us show them that the people of England not only possess feelings and principles which were thought sufficient, but that they also possess a fixed determination to maintain their own rights and the constitution of the country—( Cheers.) It is as clear to Me as the sun at noon-day that a dissolution of Parliament must take place,—that the last card in their desperate game must be played by the Tories if they are determined to see the g: me out. They probably reckon upon secur ing majorities in the counties, in consequence of the un fortunate 501. tenant-at-will clause. I know also that some of the schedule B towns, in consequence of the non payment of rates and other circumstances have become little bitter than rotten boroughs. They now possibly reckon upon majorities there. I will grant to them the utmost extent of support that they may thus obtain in a new House of Commons, and yet we will be able to beat them. Their hopes of success, founded on the ridiculous idea of a r. -action, will prove utterly fallacious. We certainly have great odds opposed to us. We have against us the Court and the Peers, but we have for us the Commons and the teople.—( Immense cheering.) Whenever the struggle shall ake place between two such opposing powers, it requires little foresight to see upon what side success will attend. Gentlemen, I ought to apologise for having detained you at such length—(Cries of " No, no,")—and for having gone into so minute a discussion on the various points to which I hive alluded but if a reference to them was ever neces sa -y it was of the greatest importance on the present occa sion. This is the first great public meeting I believe that ha; taken place in this part of the country since the late ex traordinary event. I cannot however say that it is the first, fit I understand that our friends and fellow reformers of Hull have already had a meeting, and addressed the Crown With regard to an event that has plunged the country into dismay from one end of it to the other. I have been thus ex plicit in stating to you my views, and I call upon you and my countrymen at large to arm for one of the deadliest struggles that has ever occurred in the history of this country which must inevitably take place. I call upon my countrymen, from one end of the kingdom to the other, to express, with one voice, their fixed determination never to rest satisfied until their liberties are secured, and all those reforms which the Reform Bill—itself only a means to an end—shall have been accomplished. Still preserving all loyalty to the King, let us show him at the same time, that if he be disposed to place confidence in a particular party and class of politicians, we, on the other hand, shall exercise our right of expressing our dis approval of such' men and their measures, and our determina tion to oppose them to the utmost of our power.—( Cheers.) — I will only say, in conclusion, that my humble services may be commanded by you and my country at all times, and that I shall be always happy to co-operate with you in the ranks, or in any situation in which I may be considered to be capable of producing benefit. ( Cheers. )—No feelings that I may enter tain with regard to any individual in any set of men, shall prevent me from doing that which it is my determination to do, namely, to join you heart and soul in the asser tion of your rights. (Immense cheers.)—The last words that I have uttered naturally prepare you for the toast that I am about to give, and I am sure you will receive it with the same hearty and cordial cheers with which you received the health of that hope of the country, the Princess Victoria.--( Great cheering.) I call upon you, as my Learned Friend, the Chairman, then called upon you, to receive with true British cheers the toast I now give you, namely— " Union amongst all Reformers." This toast was drunk with enthusiasm. _ The RECORDER of NEWCASTLE, in rising to propose a toast which had been put into his hand, said that he was rejoiced the Noble Earl had had this opportunity of defending himself against the slanders by which he had been assailed.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl in the consistency of his advocacy of the cause of reform was second only, if at all, to his revered relative, who was one of its earliest advocates. The Reform Act had placed in the hands of the people a powerful engine for the removal of the grievances of misgovernment ; but he could not agree with those who thought that now the Reform Bill had passed they ought to be satisfied. He wished to ob tain the fruits of reform.—( Cheers.) What the country wanted was, men who would boldly and steadily remove the evils which prevailed in the existing system. The Hon. Gen tleman concluded with proposing—" May the Cause of Re form move on till every abuse, civil and ecclesiastical, is swept away." The CHAIRMAN said that it was his duty now to propose a toast which was certain of being well received in an assembly of Reformers and Northumbrians—he meant the health of their distinguished fellow countryman, Earl Grey.—( Much cheer ing.) He was satisfied that a meeting of Reformers would be anxious to testify 'heir respect to a Statesman who, from the commencement to the close of his public career, had been the steady and undeviating advocate of the great cause in which they all were embarked.--( Cheers.) Earl Grey had given the people the means, if they choose to employ them, of effec tively resisting any attack that might be made upon their liberties. Without further preface he would request the com pany to drink—" The Father of Reform, Earl Grey, the pride of the north, and the object of England's gratitude." The toast was drunk with three times three, and warm applause. The Earl of DURHAM said the company would not be sur prised that he was anxious to return thanks for the very kind reception which they had given to the toast which the Chair man had proposed in honour of an individual with whom he was nearly and dearly connected—of one whom it was his pride and boast to have followed in the political career which he had terminated so gloriously. Retired as that noble indi vidual was from the struggles and turmoils of political life, and enjoying the well-merited honours which had been heaped upon him to an extent never perhaps surpassed in the case of any person, it must still be gratifying to him to receive the ap probation of a body of men whose good opinion it was so ho nourable to possess.—.( Cheers.) He was sure that he was only doing what Lord Grey would himself do if he were pre sent, in venturing his grateful acknowledgments for the ho nour which had been conferred upon him. He was now about to propose a toast in hon Our of the reformers of Newcastle. It might not be known to some of those who had come from a distance to attend the festival that day, that in Newcastle was held the first meeting of the middle and working classes to petition in favour of reform of Parliament. For a long period reform had been the subject of the consideration of the philosopher in his closet, and had been advocated by the wisest statesmen in both Houses of Parliament, but up to 1821 there had been no expression of feeling in its favour from the mid dle classes. In that year, however, took place the celebrated meeting at Newcastle, which originated with their lamented townsman, the late James Losh.—( Cheers.) The example of Newcastle was speedily followed by the rest of the empire, and from that moment the cause of reform became popular through out the country. It never, however, would so speedily have been accomplished had it not been for the l•onest and bold de termination of the statesman whose health they had just drunk. Four years ago, in this very month, and almost on this very day, Earl Grey was summoned by his Majesty to form an ad ministration to succeed one which had been displaced by no such mean intrigue as had been practised on a recent occasion. The Noble Earl then declared respectfully to his Majesty, and decidedly to his friends, that he never would accept slice unless he was able to carry a measure of reform.—( Cheers.) Having acknowledged the honour which the meeting had done to his Noble Relative, he would now conclude by proposing a toast, namely,—" The reformers of Newcastle," with which lie would couple the name of an old friend, a reformer, as well as one of his dearest friends, Dr. Headlatn. Dr. HEADLANI returned thanks, and proposed—" The In dependence of the southern division of Northumberland, arid the health of Mr. Ord." Mr. ORD acknowledged the compliment, and proposed " Reform, retrenchment, and peace." The next toast was, " Mr. Rippon and the Reformers of Gateshead." Mr. RIPPpN returned thanks. The following were also drank :—" The Free and Inde pendent exercise of the Elective Franchise."—" The Chair man."—" Lord Melbourne, and the late Administration."— " Loyalty without Servility—Freedom without Faction."— Mr. Hutt and the Electors of Hull."—" Corporation Re form."—" Sir William Hhaytor and the Reformers of Sun derland."—" The Regeneration of Poland."—" The Coun tess of Durham, and the House of Lambton."—" Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce; may their energies be unfet tered by restrictions, and their prosperity unencumbered 133 monopolies." A warrant was yesterday sent to the Stamp-office to be stamped, for the recalling the Marquis Wellesley from the Government of Ireland, by order of the Duke of Wel lington. SIR CHARLES WETHERELL.--Among other ru mours, we have heard that Sir Charles Wetherell is going to Ireland as Chancellor. We hope the learned Knight may find Dublin less hot than Bristol. No man ever did greater service to the commercial and agricultural interests of this country than Lord Brougham. The Bankrupt Court Bill is as valuable to the debtor as to the creditor. The Poor-law Bill enables the landlord to keep his estate, and the tenant his farm. WHO'S THE MOUNTEBANK ?—lt is said that the Duke of Wellington went on Tuesday to the Horse-guards, where he transacted business—to the Home-office, where he transacted business—to the Colonial-office, where he trans acted business—to the Foreign-office, where he transacted business—to the Treasury, where he transacted business. — Who's the Mountebank ? We feel called upon, by the urgent character of the crisis in which we are so suddenly involved, to sive notice to all popular Members of Parliament to lose no time in taking the most effectual measures for their return to the next Parlia ment. We have the best and most authentic ground for as suring them that there will be a dissolution—we believe an immediate dissolution ; and we can further take upon ourselves to apprise them and the public, that active arrangements are at this time in progress for meeting the emergency, by esta blishing a Central Election Committee in London, with whir' a considerable number of influential men have already a ,dread to co-operate.—Morning Advertiser.

(From the Cork Southern-Reporter of Tuesday. ) About two hundred of the most influential citizens of Cork, and a number of country gentlemen, entertained Mr. 01Coh nel yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the two City Members, who had been specially invited, we no ticed, besides the Representatives for the County, several members of Mr. O'Connell's family, including the Member for Meath, John O'Connell, Esq., of Grena, &c. Francis Ber_ nard Beamish, Esq., presided. He was assisted by Thoma Lyons, James Daly, and Samuel Perrott, Esq., as vice-presi_ dents. The wines, which were of the richest quality, and i n great abundance, were supplied from the stores of Mr. Meagher The cloth having been removed, and the usu to drank— The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Mr. O'Connell— the eloquent, and fearless advocate of universal emancipation —lreland's Liberator, and all mankind's friend—( Loud and enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. O'CoNNELL rose and said—l have been told to-day of great events—that the Ministry is dissolved. But what anxiety have I to know what Ministry continues, or undergoes disso lution ? What care I what form of Administration exists ? (Cheers.) What matters it whether Whigs or Tories rule us ? Whi g s arc equally bad as Tories. The only advantage they afford us is, while we turn their hypocrisy into occasional realities.—( Hear.) The days of the Tories are gone. The Victor of Waterloo was beaten before, though he came into power to prevent Catholic Emancipation, and the like may be done again. He, like a good General, did not wait for a de feat, but retreated, and what was achieved once, may, with the blessing of God, be done twice.—( Cheers.) Can any one be found to imagine that a Tory Administration could exist after the discomfiture of Wellington, in an oligarchical Parliament. Can there be found such a dreamer as the person who would think, that with the great moral im provement which began in America the year I was born— ( Loud cheers) and has continued to advance progres sively ever since —that when a Senate was composed of boroughmono - ers, who were as complete slaves as negroes under the lash—when he had the choice of position and the selection of forces, and yet was forced to yield ; and now that the nine-tenths of the people are our own, we should not be beaten superfluously well.—(Hear, hear.) Oh, no I care not for the change, or any change. What is it that Ireland wants ? Justice. What brings you here? Because you think that her wrongs are spoken through me, and that my tongue calls for justice. Thirty years have I ,spent in the service of my country. My object was one—my means were various.—( Hear, and a laugh.) According as the scene shifted, and the actors changed, I was forced to alter the machitie7 ; but now the course is straight, and it never was so straight as it is at present. Thirty years I have spent in agitation, and I have now come from my native mountains prepared for 30 years more.—(Loud cheers.) At least I have all the heat and the animation of longer days within me, and I can boast of as much zeal and energy now as I had 30 years ago. But I won't postpone the consummation of our hopes to such a distance—l'll take the tithe of it, and say that in three years-4 Cheers)—good and effective service can be rendered to Ireland. In solemn seriousness I say that three revolving suns will not run their course before the people of Ireland will have obtained all their wishes amd have subdued all her enemies.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Orangemen think to protect tithes and to retard the pro gress of Repeal. Shall we assist them? No; my plan is to get relief. I want justice—On the first day of next session (will there be a dissolution of Parliament and that I can find no seat)—(a laugh)—l shall demand the complete abolition of tithes, the extinction of corporate bodies, the privilege of jury by ballot, the correction of the Reform Bill, the extension of the franchise, short Parliaments, and vote by ballot. Shall I succeed ? It is not within the walls of St. Stephen's that we are to look for the succe3s of the repeal question. 'Tis to be found in the determined spirit, the simultaneous exertion of all classes—in the mild and quiet whisper of eight millions ! (Cheers)—and I say that it is impossible to refuse what such a voice demands. Meantime, what shall Ido ? I shall go to Dublin. I shall urge the institution of Liberal Clubs, and a general registry throughout every part of Ireland—and I may remark that the North of Ireland is not as adverse to us as I at first supposed. I shall call for petitions from every quarter against tithes, and if any one slip in a petition for repeal, why I won't be irritated at it.—( Laughter.) We must imitate the tactics of Wellington, expose as small a front as possible, but concentrate our force as decidedly as we can. I shall join any party for my own purposes. I shall join the Tories against the Whigs, and Whigs against the Tories—( Hear)-- lam the paid servant of the people—( Cheers.) I have no thought—no duty, no task, no wish, no reward, no notion nor object, but to perform a service to my country. I want to have Ireland as she ought to be, " First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea." (The Hon. Member sat down amidst great cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The County Representa tives." Mr. O'CoNNoR rose amidst great cheerfn - -He said, your guest has spoken of rumoured changes ; he says i, is the com mencement of the end—l hope so : but what is it to us who is in? We are an entirely distinct people ; we have no cone,: - dence in either party to win men's minds ; you must win men's hearts —( Cheering.) None of them have condescended to bid for our hearts or minds ; but yes, the power of the people is now making the proud, imperious, haughty noble bend his lordly head before its magic strength. Brougham and Durham are political tyrants each and in grain too, — Mr. D R. MOYLAN—No, no. Mr. O'CONNOR—Yes, yes. Mr. MOYLAN—No, no ; Mr. Chairman, I rise to order— this speech is too radical for me ; I will never sit by and hear Lord Duham called a tyrant—( Cheers, and cries of order.) Mr. O'CoNNOR proceeded—'Tis true, what's bred in the bone cannot be got out of the flesh, and I bear that ; even the eloquence of Mr. Moylan and his admiration of Lord Durham will not effect the slightest change in my radical principles— ( Loud cheers) —for Radical lam and Radical I shall remain —(Great cheering)—and indeed, sir, I did not think that ra dical principles, the only title upon which, by the bye, his friend, my Lord Durham rests his claim to popularity, could be unacceptable here.—( Great cheering.) But, Sir, in com pliment to his feelings, as Lord Durham's friend, in compli ment to you, his own guests and our friends, I shall say peace to Lord Durham.—( Laughter. ) Some volunteer and routine toasts were proposed after this, upon which the Guest and Chairman retired at half past 12, a few remained behind, enjoying good cheer 'till about 2 o'clock. GREAT CONSERVATIVE MEETING in KENT. (From the Morning Herald.) Yesterday evening a dinner was given at Ashford, in the county of Kent, to commemorate his Majesty's late declara tion "to support the Constitution in Church and State." The dinner took place at the Assembly-rooms, and was at tended by nearly 200 Noblemen, gentlemen, and inhabitants of the county. Sir Edward C. Dering, a young Baronet of considerable landed property, presided. On the Hon. Baronet's right sat the Earl of Winchilsea, and on his left Lord Viscount Strangford. Among the distinguished guests present were—the Hon. Colonel Murray, the Hon. Captain King, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart, M. P. ; Sir Brook Bridges, Bart. ; Sir John Croft, Bart. ; Sir Edmund Filmer, Bart. ; Sir J. Honey wood, Bart. ; Mr. Halcomb, M. P. ; Charles Wykeham Martin, Esq. ; Bingham Escott, Esq. ; W. Deedes, Esq. ; T. Knatchbull, Esq. ; T. S. Douglas, Esq. ; D. S. Parker, Esq. ; J. B. Brett, Esq. ; Rev. Dr. Nares, D.D., Rev. T. Manners Sutton, Rev. W. Nance, D.D., Rev Charles Graham, Rev. T. Manley, Rev. E. Sutton, Rev. F. V. Lockwood , R. N. Toke, Rev. H. B. Wrey, Rev. J. Billington, Rev. J. E. N. Molesworth, Dr. Carter, M.D., Dr. Cordeaux, M.D., Dr. E. Scudamore, M.D., besides several ether gentlemen. The dinner, though a cold one, was good, thanks to the radical landlord of the Saracen's Head, in whom the Conservatives confided as to culinary matters, know ing, that though his politics might not be sound, his wines were perfectly so,—pure, unadulterated, and wholesome. He might have poisoned the whole of them, but he dreams his principles will one day or other triumph, and he desires no other revenge. The dinner passed off very gaily—indeed the partakers of it (majority, of course, Conservative) are so sure of victory if there should be a speedy election in East Kent, that they are urbane and condescending in the extreme to every body. They seem as if they had already called their honours, and they wear them kindly. The Tories will un doubtedly succeed at the next election in East Kent. During the evening the following Address was handed round and signed by all the Gentlemen present : _ " TO 'THE ICING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTV. " We, the undersigned, your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects of Ashford and its vicinity. in the county of Kent, assembled to commemorate your Majesty's glorious declaration of inviolable at tachment to our Constitution in Church and State, feel it our duty at this important crisis, to lay before your Majesty the expression of our devotion to your Majesty's person, and of our stedfast determi nation to rally round your Majesty in defence of those principles on which the Illustrious House of Brunswick ascended the British Throne. But prepared as we are to support your Majesty, even with our lives and property, in resisting every enemy of our Mo narchy and our Protestant Establishment, we are no less anxious to cooperate with your Majesty in uniting loyal men of all parties, or in promoting any improvement of our invaluable Constitution in Church and State." ( Here follow the signatures, those of the Earl of Winchilsea and Lord Strangford being placed at the head. ) The cloth being removed ; and after the usual toasts, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the next toast—" Pro testant Constitution in Church and State ;" in doing which he said, I must now trespass on your attention a few moments. Under ordinary circumstances this toast would not have re quired any comment on my part, but as we cannot conceal from ourselves that we live in times of no ordinary excitement, I when the love of innovation predominates over every other principle, I feel that I should be remiss in my duty if I did not allude to those circumstances under which we are now assem bled. We are met together to manifest our attachment to Church and State ; and when we reflect on the many attacks which have recently been made, and, indeed, which are now in progress, to undermine that venerable struCture, we cannot too highly appreciate those which dictated that glorious declaration vihi"li we are this ° met to celebrate.— ( Cheers.) I allude in; have recently been " particularly ay tothe attacks which de on the Established Church inlreland— ( Hear, hear)- - " a have so,- ~., n ot only by the demagogues and agitators, who con+' ..n the seed, and are now reaping the harvest of asion in that unhappy country, but I allude also to that tearful spirit of combination which has spree itself so univers ally over Ireland that I can only regard it in :he light of a conspiracy against the Protestant population of that country . —( Hear, hear.) Ido not appeal simply to the hostile and vindictive spirit which pervades those celebrated lettes written by him who may be termed the virtual ruler of Jreland, although their tendency cannot easily be misinterprete4 • I appeal to the events of daily occurrence, for when I see evej thing that bears the name of Protestant in that country. vilifier and aspersed—when I see the ministers of that religion ir s tilted, degraded, and I may say waylaid and murdered in open day with impunity—when I see hundreds and thousands o! our Protestant brethren compelled to emigrate from that country, and solely on account of the religion they possess, I entertain not the slightest doubt that the attack is not made as is alleged, solely upon the revenues of the Church, but that it is a direct, a hostile, an organised conspiracy against the Protestant population of the country. If we turn our attention from Ireland, we find in the last Session of Par liament that two important measures received the sanction of the House of Commons, which, had they not been arrested in their progress by the House of Lords, would have tended very materially to weaken that connection which has so long subsisted between Church and State, I mean the Bills for the admission of Jews to Parliament, and for the admission of Dissenters to the Universities, although the ob jection to these Bills appear to me to rest on very distinct and different grounds.—( Cheers and hear.) With regard to the former, they are a wandering race, possessing no stake in the country, and consequently cannot be supposed to be deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of one country more than another; and I sincerely hope that the principles and re ligious feelings of the country will never be so far outraged as to allow a Jew to legislate for a Christian community. With regard to the latter, the case is infinitely more complicated, because the Dissenters are an intelligent, highly respectable body of men, possessing a large stake in the country—( Hear, hear)—and cannot but be considered as valuable acquisitions to any community.—( Hear, hear.) The objection, therefore, is not to the individuals, but to the principle they seek to este blish•by their admission—that principle which was so openly avowed during the debates in Parliament last year, viz., the principle of separation of Church and State. It is impossible for me to make use of more emphatic or more fitting lan guage than that used by his Majesty in his gracious declara tion, when he says " The threats of the enemies of the Church make it the more necessary for those who feel their duty to that Church to speak out." We are assembled here for that purpose. This no party or political meeting. We are met here as loyal subjects, to speak out—( Hear, hear) — to express our gratitude to our King for that glorious declara tion of his sentiments, for those conscientious feelings of at tachment to our Church, which do equal honour to his head and to his heart. (Cheering. )—The cause of the Protestants in Ireland is the cause of England. ( Hear, hear. )—ln fight ing their battles we are fighting the cause of England upon the soil of Ireland ; and it is only by uniting our energies with theirs, and by rallying round the sacred banner of Church and State, that we can hope to preserve to them, and to our selves, those inestimable blessings which have so long en joyed—( Cheers); blessings that we may well deem the best inheritance bequeathed to us by our ancestors, and the best legacy we can transmit to our posterity—( Loud cheering fol lowed the conclasion of the speech, and the toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed, as a toast, " the Army and Navy," which was most enthusiastically cheered. The Hon. Coicnel MURRAY rose to return thanks. Though his profession was not immediately connected with politics, still he could not but think it to be the duty of soldiers and sailors to co-operate in upholding the Church and the Consti tution under which they claimed citizenship. That portion of subjects could therefore well co-operate with their fellow countrymen in affording the Monarch their support in carry ing into effect his Majesty's glorious declaration to the clergy. He should ever hope to see the army and navy of the land ready to support the Church Establishment of the nation, as being the most glorious part of the British Constitution.— ( Loud cheers.) Sir BROOK BRIDGES, Bart., then rose to propose to them the health of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the praiseworthy clergy of that part of the empire. , Unfortunately, there were not only infidels, but also there were other persons, respectable individuals, who, though professing to belong to the Esta blished Church, still conceived it to be their interest to en- courage Dissenting privileges in others. One great advantage from the Established Church was that all, particularly the poor, benefited from it, inasmuch as it pointed out to them sound rules of moral conduct and religious faith—rules sanc tioned by the laws of the country and by the opinions of eminent men who came to a right conclusion, at which the poor, if left to themselves, on account of their ignorance, could not arrive. Another advantage was, that the ministers of the Church were bound to guide the young, to comfort the sick, and to console the aged. Now unless there were a Church established by law, the poorer classes would be bereft of all the advantages of religious instruction. He should, therefore, beg the meet ing to look at America and other countries, in which there neither existed, nor was sought to be maintained, any connection between Church and State—( Cheers.) In those countries the poor had not the benefit or comfort to be derived from the parochial clergy. Let the clergy in this country and those be compared, and all would easily see the immense ad vantages of an Established Church—( Cheers.) In examining the merits of that church he begged to state his conviction that there did not exist in the world any body of men so at tached to the important duties of their office as were the cler gymen of the Church of England—( Cheers.) He regretted that there were a few lamentable exceptions—that some cases of dereliction of duty did exist ; but these instances were of sue.: rare occurrence that it did not form any thing like the general , - ,. l taracter of the Ministers of the Church of England. However, the:c was such a spirit of innovation abroad that it was necessary ,for them all to beware and to guard against it—( Cheers. ) The Rev. THOMAS SUDON returned thanks for the cordial manner in which the healths of the Archbishop of Canterbury and of the Clergy of the Diocese hat: been received and drank by the company present. He was awize that their enemies would insinuate that they had met that night, ,not to support the Church in its purity, but to support tithes and all the abuses of the Establishment. He, however, most distinctly denied any such assertion.—(Cheers.) He had no fear that the Church would fall, so long as it was supported by a Constitu tional King, and by the most intellectual and influential por tion of the community. The CHAIRMAN then gave " the health of the Duke of Wellington."—( Immense cheering, which lasted several mi nutes.) The Duke of Wellington is a man far above all party considerations ; he can have no earthly object in view except to uphold the honour and promote the welfare of that country for which he has so often and so successfully fought and bled—( Hear, hear, and cheering)—and we may rest well assured, that to whatever objects the energies of his great and comprehensive mind are directed, they will be carried through with that ability, that sagacity, and that strict integrity, which has ever characterized his brilliant career.—( Great cheering.) The Earl of WINCHILSEA rose amid loud cheering, and said that it was the duty of all now to rally round the Throne and defend the altars of their country. In the declaration their most gracious Sovereign told them "that the threats of those who are enemies to the Church made it more necessary for those who feel their attachment to that Church to speak out." They were assembled for that purpose, and they would speak out. They would loudly tell the men, who were not only enemies to the Church, but to every institution from the throne downwards, and their threats would be brought to naught.—( Cheers.) It was impossible not to reflect on the condition in which the Church was placed. lie did not mean to allude to the great changes brought about by men who seemed guided by no precedent, and who struck into paths hitherto ventured upon- by no one—who hazarded innovations that had brought the country almost to ruin.— ( Hear, hear ) But, though the Church was placed in a pre carious situation, through God and their country the danger would be now averted, and England would stand, as she had hitherto stood, the happiest nation in the world.—( Loud cheers.) He flattered himself that it was pretty generally known that he had always discharged his duty towards his country to the best of his power. The toast he had to pro pose was—" Success to the noble efforts of their Protestant fellow-countrymen, in the sister kingdom to support their altars and their religion ; and may defeat tend upon the efforts of the agitators and enemies of that religion—and may those Scriptural truths be established, which alone could lead to the peace, tranquillity, and safeguard of that portion of hi; Majesty's dominions."—( Hear, hear.) England owed to Ire land a deep and heavy debt, and if she were placed under the same laws and had the same sound religion established, she would be relieved from the evils of agitation, and would be now a useful portion of England, instead of being a burden to her. But he hoped they were now about to have an Adminis tration who would not act as the late Government had done, namely, weaken the Protestant religion, but who would use every effort to strengthen it in that part of his Majesty's do minions. If the Roman Catholic party in Ireland required the protection of the Government and Legislature, how much more did the Protestants of that country require it, who for the last three years had suffered unheard-of persecutions, and who were within that period, to the number of 170,000, obliged to seek an asylum in England? He would say that h was a disgrace to any Government to allow any country to ran4in in that unprotected state in which Ire land had been of .years left.—( Hear.) He hoped that the loyal conduct of the Protestants in that country would in duce the future Government t o take not only their case into consideration, but also that of the whole body throughout the empire. The toast was then drunk amid general cheering. The Hon. Captain KING begged to return the company his warmest thanks for the manner in which they had received the last toast. He was well acquainted with Ireland, And he could assure gentlemen present that the Protestants of Ireland were well deserving their sympathy. They were not only fighting their own battle, but they were fighting on Iris!‘ ground, the battle of Protestant England. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Earl of Winchilsca, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. W. MARTIN said that the toast which had been con fided to him was one of the deepest importance—it was the heet ;, of the House of Lords. He did not think it necessary to .claim for it the support of the intelligent and influential individuals presem, since the very object of their meeting ma nifested their intentio3 of supporting every branch of the Constitution. Next to the Church the Peers were most threatened by the Radicals, and that portion of the press de voted to them. Throughout the late contests the Conserva tive party were placed in rather an anomalous position— they apparently seemed during that time, to be opposed to the Monarch and the Government. Now the case was different—they were rang ed by the King's side, and proud must the present day be to them when they saw once more the banner of monarchy gloriously floating over their heads.—( Loud cheers.) They had now a chief to fight under, and the country had only to answer to the call the King made upon them to rally and support Conserva tive principles. By responding to that call, they would show to the King the value they set upon his choice, and whether they thought the Duke of Wellin g ton's Administration would be a enefit to the country or nt. He begged to remind them that the House of Lords was as o it were the C onser vative Mem- ler of their mixed Constitution. He would propose the House f L wds, and Lord Strangford, their respected guest. Tae toast was then drunk amid vehement cheering. V,scount STRANGFORD rose to return thanks. The House of Lords were instituted to prevent the vox populi, rage it ever so loudly and franticly, from being mistaken for the vox Dei. They were however, condemned to witness three or four in roads on the ancient institutions of the realm—inroads effected by the basest agency, and by wild appeals to the vilest passions. The people had been deceived as to their King, and the King as to his people, whilst the elective body was deceived as to the value of the amount of rights with which they were in vested. But those delusions had passed away, and better days and better prospects were now about to dawn upon them.— (Cheers.) He saw, in the manner the late dangerous Mi nistry met their downfall, traces of retributive justice. So long as they confined themselves to temporal rights they were comparatively safe ; but when they put forth that it made no difference whether State affairs were administered by Jew, in fidel, or Christian, then justice overtook them. If they had met to testify their gratitude for mere words, how much greater was the debt they owed his Majesty for the splendid action with which he had followed up those words ! How consoling was that action I It had shed the first dawn of;hope where hitherto all was darkness around. Let the King hear then—and perhaps it would be for the first time since he was seated upon the throne—the true, the real voice of his people —of thinking and rational freemen—distinguished from that of factious demagogues and the slaves of their ambition, with whose voice the Royal ear had been too long assailed. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Sir Edward Knatchbull, and the Members for East Kent. The toast was received and drank amidst enthusiastic plaudits. Sir E. KNATCHBULL, in returning thanks, said that he felt it difficult to acquire sufficient self-command on such an occa sion as the present to express his thanks in a manner satisfac tory to himself, and in a manner the meeting had a right to expect from him. It had been truly said that the Church of England was established for the benefit of all the subjects of Ifs Majesty, and he wished to see that truth engraven on the rifnds of all. A great question bad been lately agitated—the payment of church-rates. Though ceasing to pay them would be a benefit in a pecuniary point of view, he hoped so base a principle would never be allowed to enter into the Con stitution, as it would be the cause of an injury that could 'never be repaired. The late happy change which had taken place was on:: which was caused purely by Providence.• It was not the work of intrigue, nor was it ex pected even by those whom the Crown now called to its councils.—( Hear, hear.) In the mind and judgment of all impartial men there could be no doubt of the Duke of Wel lington.—( Cheers.) What had he done ? He had obeyed the voice of his Sovereign when called upon in a moment of difficulty, and he now placed himself courageously in the gap, solely iu order that such an Administration might be formed which would not only meet the wants of the country, but would also receive its support.—(Hear.) Several other appropriate toasts were proposed, which were responded to by gentlemen appositely connected with them, and the meeting had not completely terminated when this ex press left Ashford late last night. COURT CIRCULAR. The King held a Court yesterday afternoon at St. James's Palace at half-past two o'clock.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE.—lmmediately after the ar rival, on Monday morning last, of the London mail of Saturday, bringing the news of the dissolution of the Melbourne Admi nistration, Messrs. Johnston, at five minutes before nine o'clock, despatched the London newspapers for their northern sub.. scribers, by one of their express messengers, on their celebrated trotting mare, with directions to overtake the Belfast day mail, which had left Sackville-street, at eight o'clock. Their messenger having reached Ashbourne, where the mail changed horses, was informed that the coach had been gone about ten minutes, he therefore instantly proceeded after it, and overtook it about half a mile beyond the 14th mile stone, thus performing the distance equal to nearly 19 English miles in one hour and five minutes. This noted animal has been in their possession nearly three years, and has never been known to raise a canter, her forte is trotting.—Slewart's Dublin Despatch. NEW RAILWAY BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER.—The Manchester, Bury, and Bolton Canal Navigation and Railway Company have given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament in the next session, for an Act to make a railway from that line at Manchester, and terminat ing at or near the north side of Williams-street, near the Cla rence Dock.—Liverpool Courier. REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD.— The dis solution of the Cabinet, and the almost certai:ity of an early election, has set the Bradford electors on the qui vive. Mon day, a private meeting of friends of reform was held, and a deputation sent to Manningham, to ascertain whether E. C. Lister Esq., M.P., would, in case of a di ssolution, a g ain offer himself. That gentleman replied that he would, and there can be no reasonable doubt of his return. On Tuesday afternoon another meeting was held, at the Sun Inn, It Margerison, Esq., in the chair; when a deputation (consist ing of H. Forbes, Esq., and Mr. Ellis, corn-factor), was dispatched to Manchester, to invite George Hadfield, Esq., to offer himself. The staunchness of that gentleman in the cause , of reform and religious liberty, has deservedly won him this public tribute ; and should he consent to be put in nomination, his return may be regarded as certain. Another meeting was held yesterday evening, but the result had not reached us when we went to press.—Hal fax Express.
