CELEBRATION OF THE RETURN OF COLONEL EVANS FOR WESTMINSTER. Upwards of three hundred and sixty Gentlemen sat down to dinner yesterday at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St• John's Wood, in celebration of the late return of CoIona) Ev ns, as representative for W. stminster, and the triumph of the principles embarked in hi• cause —cheap and good government. The most judicious arrangements had pre viously heen made, and the comequence was, that good fellowship universally prevailed, and all went off in the best possible manner. The dinner was bountiful to an extreme—the wines were generous—music ever and anon sent forth inspiring strains—several fair faces smiled upon the scene—the Stewards were unremittingly courte o u s , and the waiters mast active and obliging. Colonel Evans presided in person, and was support d on his right by Daniel O'Connell, E•q., M.P., Patrick Lalor, Esq., M.P., Captain Owen, and Dr. Wade ; and on his I ft by Gene ral Mina, Lord Dunboyne, the Hon. Charles Butler, Ciptain Hamilton, and Daniel WA, field, E.g. At the upper table we also ' , cognised, amongst others, Finn, E•q., M.P., Dr. Brnbridce, Colonel Hodges, Barry O'hl.ars, Esq•, Raphael, Esq , Dr. Gilchrist, Messrs. Cod ne, Whitehead, Simmons, &c. The cloth having been removed, the gallant Chairma❑ gave the following to,sts without preftc.:— " The King." On the announcement of which there was very loud Listing from the lower end of the room, which was, however, drowned i❑ the cht•eting from other portions of the ccmpany, and ultimately acknowledged wi'th three times three. 4 ' Ill's Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family." The ArtiS .. l . .wo words of this toast were barely uttered, when stronge‘t execrations, mixed with cries of " No, no `never, never," burst from several parts of the room. The gentlemen at the upper table rote to cheer, and so did then some 30 or 40 others, but the determined hisses which arose from the company generally completely drowned their voices. [A good deal of this hissing was accounted for by a gentleman, experienced in Westminster politics, in the following manner. 'We give it as we received it, n ithout vouching for its accuracy:—The party being comprsed of the on, sanch, sound hearted Radicals of the City, fully expected that "The P , ople," would he the first toast. They were, of course, chagrined to find the Committee had arranged the lists of toasts otherwise, hut bore their mortification pretty well, under the assured hope that their lung cherished toast would come the next. But no; instead of " The only legitimate source of power," " The Queen" came, and great, indeed, was the disappointment and indignation.] " The People the only source of legitimate power." The hurras atrer this toast were of the most enthusiastic o',aracter. "Trial by Jury." Three times three hearty cheers, Soon after the cheering had subsided, Mr. O'CONNELL rose and said, he hoped they would not think that in interrupting the usual course of the toasts for a few moments, he was presuming too much ; but lie was forced by an irresistible impulse to say a few words on the last toast which had been drunk—the trial by jury.—(Hear, hear.) His remarks, he promi.ed them, should be but few. He was not going to give them a legal disquisi•ion, though recent events made him rejoice that he was a legal man. The trial by jury —that toast which they had just so enthusiast:cally cheered, had never been so insulted as by the present Administration. —(Vehement cheering.) He alluded to the admirable verdict which seventeen honest men, on their oaths, pro nounced on a late memorable occasion. —(Great cheer ing.) He was so unfortunate as to be able to number thirty-five years at the bar ; and be should venture to say (which he did without vanity), that in that time no man had had more experience in the criminal law than he ; and with so much, he could safely assert, that the verdict then returned was the only one which an honest and conscientious jury could give on the evidence produced. —(The cheering was here loud and long continued ) He did nut think it due to the occasion on which y had met to enter into a legal detail upon the sunjr ct ; but wherever a discussion should arise about the meeting on the Calthnrpe estate:--in whatever place —he would take upon him-elf to promise them that he would demonstrate cleat y and undeniably, that the verdict which was returned was not only the legal, but it was the only conscientious one that could be returned.— (Loud cheers.) Yet how had it been treated by the Ad ministration ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and partial cheers.) Seventeen of their honest countrymen, on their oaths, returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide ; which bad no sooner been done, than their paltry Aamini tration —(Great cheering)—their paltry Administration, by one of their proclamation., called it murder.--(Loud hurras.) Why, for what, above all other things, was Ene land most renowned ? The invention of the trial by jury. --(Cheers.) It preceded her history, and writ acknowledged by every dynasty. And now their Ministers—oh ! he thought be knew them well—had played this shameful part.—(Great cheers.) He said in another place, that the passing of the Irish Coercive Bill was but an experiment of what might afterwards be attempted in England.—(Cheers.) It was not for nothing —no, Englishmen, it was not far nothing that they subs'irun d courtsmartial in Ireland for the ordinary course of the law.—(Loud cheers.) Such courts were very well in their own sphere—there he had nothing to say against them, but they were abominations indeed when they were set up as sub stitutes for that tribunal which was formed from the honest neighnour who had previously se n the whole course of the accused's lite, had known his character, and could weigh well his motives and hi. ac•ions.—(Loud cheers.) The Ministers had thine that in his own country which, he repeated, was meant only as an experiment how fit they might venture in this, and had thus worked up a kind of cracked-brained court of justice—half soldier aryl half statesman—(Cheers)—they had thus, he repeated, done away with the law in Ireland. and they had since tarnished it in Enelan f.—(Great cheering.) But there was a spirit amongst those he was then addressing —amongst the el-c -tors of W.stn.inster—which would foil all their effirts, and render it impossible that they should ever succeed in their base ant tyrannical purposes.—(Loud huzzatrig.) Toast—t. A Free and Untaxed Press, and may it soon be law that Truth is no Libel."—(Loud cheers.) Toast—" The Billot—the best Safeguard for a con scientious voter."—(Loud cheers.) Toast—" A speedy Repeal of the Septennial Act."— (Thtee times three.) Toast—" The worious Minorities on the two last 'Mo tions for the Repeal of the House and Window Tax." The cheering which followed this toast was of the most vehement character, and was repeated often arid often. Dr. BAINBRIDGE said he had, three weeks ago, made a proposition to them of- an important charicter, which he was proud to think had been so nobly responded to, as even to exceed his own sanguine hopes, which was, that their Gallant Chairman should for the future he their re presentative in the Commons' House of Parliament.__ (Cheers.) Westminster, as they all well knew, was the birth-place of reform, and had returned representatives who for many years struggled against the vile Tory faction, which had been too lung allowed to trample on and oppress the people. That which had once been but a silent and meandring ittiramlet, had since became a mighty and over !lowerin4 toirent.—(Laud cheers.) It was not from a Li ere inotainate idea of change that the people of West sster, and of the country at large, had contended for arm—neither was it to give an ascendancy to one of the A) great political factions of the state.--(Loud cheers.) 'l heir arms took a wider sphere—had a far higher objnt in view. —(Cheers.) The fruits they expected from their efforts in the cause of a reform in the House of Cimmons were—a repeal of the Septennial Act—(Cheers)—of the house and malt duties—(Bravo)—of the odious r,strie trona on knowledge—(Cheers)—the establishment of the vote by ballot—(Cheers)—and a sweeping church re form, instead of that cootemptible• farce which was now playing beti,ita.en the Ministers and some of their represen tatives.—(Lond cheers.) In addition to these things they look e d for the enactment of many wise and good laws, and th e erasure fiom the statute book of many bad ones.— (Cheers.) It was, perhaps, not for him to say whether the representation of the city of Westminster and the sr r vice of the Crown, were incompatible appointments— their recent decision was the best test.—(Cher rs.) So much ti en as to the last proposition made ,by him. Ha had now another to make—one which he w ,a sure wotild be responded to in the saute noble manner in which his former one bad been`-it was " The health of the repre aeutative of Weatminstcr,' and their lion. Chairman, Colonel De LacyEvana."--(Vehement and long-continued A cheering.) Colonel Evaiss mounted the table, amidst the sir ng eat expressions of kindness and good- , ill. H e sa id he should indeed he oppressed and overwhelmed, it Le thought lie wee to take to. himself distinctively the applause with which the toast had been greeted ; but lie well knew that the little share lie could take was only from the accident and circumstance of his being identified with those great principles fur which, just mow, they bad fought and con. However, lie dill thank them querett.—(Loud cheers.) most sincerely for that small share which he ventured to take to himself.—(Bravo, and cheers.) He was, indeed, surprised and delighted when lie looked at the assemblage fg_wliiels then surrounded hint ; for it so happened that his supporters were divided is opinion as to the most proper place fur celebrating their triumph—some being 'desirous of bolding their festival at that place, and others of dining at that old cradle of liberty, the Crown and Anchor Tavern.—(Hear, hear.) By a small - majority it was carried that they should come to that place, by which they bad been deprived of the attendance of many friends ; hut lie dare say another occasion would, ere long, arise oil en he could meet those respectable individuals in heir own chcsen spot —(Cheers.) He so ould almost wisp not to recur to what had lately taken place ; for it was never any pleasure to him, and he was sure it was not to those whom he had the honour to address, to keep up bitter or unplea-ant feeling.—(Bravo ! H-ar, hear.) But as he considers d they were met more for business—more to avow and to vindicate certain great public principles, than for the mere exchange of reciprocal civilities—he felt it his duty to submit to them a few remarks.—( Hear. hear.) It had excited some astonishment, he believed, that a greater number of voters had not come forward duting the last and the preceding election. The fact was, that there were in Westminster 17,690 persons who have qualifications from house., and one or two thousand snore could be brought up from the scot and lot voters, hut in consequence of the abrupt termination of the Reform 8,11, and the irregularity as to the registration, there were not above 6,000 persons qualified to vote. Of these 4,500 had voted in December, and 4,600 at the last election, and this number, awl en he deducted those who were out of town, and those who dare not vote—(Cheers )—he looked upon as very considerable.—(Cheers.) In fact, the only chance their opponents ever had was in the circumstance of two thirds of the voters being disfranchised.—(Cheers.) He tnen tioned these things that they might think of the registration and be prepared for it, by the payment of their poor rates which should be done in the middle of July, and thus would they, public spirited individuela, be prepared for a future occasion, which future occasion he earnestly and fervently hoped might recur as soon as possible.—(Vehe ment cheers, and cries of " Poor Burdett.") He felt it now his duty to say a word or two with all possible good humour, on the conduct of the metropolitan press— ( Hear, hear, hear)—a portion of which, at all events, had not treated him fairly or justly.—(Cheers.) He was willing to make every allowance for partisanship and so on, hut he certainly expected that the metropolitan press would not condescend to twcome the mere tools of elec tioneering squib writers, in preference to being the great organs of pubic opinion throughout the country. A part of the press had grossly and shamefully misrepreaorred him and his supporters. Were it not for that circumstance, they would no doubt have obtained a more decided triumph in December last.—(Hear, hear.) But as it had hap pened, it was, perhaps, fortunate that they did not succeed in December—fur by the delay they had been enabled to inflict it blow—a castigation which they might not otherwise have obtained.—(Cheers.) He hoped that the press would be warned by the result, and that the conductors of it would see that the public was not at present in a state to be dictated to either by a public man, of whatever colour his print plea might be, or by the public prints.—(Hear, heir.) Among the other misrepresentations of which he (Colonel Evans) had to complain, there was one to which be wished to allude. It had been said by the press, that his (Colonel Evana's) opponent had asserted at one of his meetings his power to strike him (Colonel Evans) from the list of the army. He confessed that he was both surprised and annoyed that such should have been said, but he slid not mention it then in order to cast any imputation on his opponent, who, he believed, had be, n misrepresented, but in order that they, the electors of Westminster, might know whether or not they had an independent man to represent them.— (Hear, hec.r.) He had put it to the Alin.sters in the House of Commons since be took his seat, whether or not it was in the power of any Secretary at War to de prive him of his pension, or, more properly speaking, of his half pay, for it was not strictly a pension—it was the very stnallest halfspay which an officer of his rank could hold, and he did not care particularly if he did not re ceive it at all—(Hear, he o)—he had put it to the Mi nisters to say it bet; er the Secretary at War could deprive Ilan of that half-pay. He certainly had asserted that Ministers would repudiate so horrible an idea as th at an officer of the Clown holding a situation of such responsi bility, could so violate justice and the freedom of election as to use, or even to threat,n to use, this power in vest, d in him for electioneering principled. He had thought that in justice to themselves they would have tepoeiated it ; but no, they merely denied it in the coldest and most evasive terms—a mode of answering characteristic (he was sorry to say) of the present Go vernment. He (Colonel Evans) was convinced, however, that ne Secretory at War had any such power.—(Hear, hear.) He had received his commission from the King, and the King alone could deprive him of it—(Hear) — nut still - lie felt that his duty to the people was para mount to hi- duty to the King bitaself.—(Cheers.) He heliived that in saying so be bad spoken the law of the land—(Hear) —and he would always be ready to execute his dunes to the people.—(Cheers.) Another misrepre sentation of which he had much to complain—because be considered it unfair, and it had done him a great deal more harm than almost any circumstance which bad hap p-ned in the course of the election—was this :—An elec tor, a worthy, respectable, and talented man, had done him (Colonel Evans) the favour to mike a very able speech' in his behalf on the day of nomination ; but that elector had thought proper to speak of hint (Col. Evans) not in his capacity of a candidate for the honour of being their representative, but in Lis military capacity. Now he (Co oriel Evans) had come among them merely as a representative, and in no way as a soldier, excepting so far as it was no doubt the duty of every citizen to become a soldier when the liberties of his country were endangered. He had, bower r, no de-ire to perform any duties for them in his military capacity. He had thought, indeed, a year and a half ago, :viten the Duke of Wellington returned for a few days to the Covet nment, that there was then a chance of convulsion and revolu tion; but that time was now past, and he (Col. Evans) felt convinced that the same bold countenance in the people which they had then shown, and which had over thrown the hold and daring Tory party, would in the same manner, when similar ly exercised, cause the overthrow of the less bold Whig party, or in fact any party which might in future aim at the suppression of popular liberty. —(Cheers.) The press had likewise said much of the (Welto:et between ihe talents of the present and the for• iner representatives of Westminster. It bad alluded to Fox, Sheridan, and others, and had drawn a comparison between those men and him (Colonel Evans). He ad mitted the transcendent talents and splendid eloquence of those persons, and could not think of bringing himself into competition with them ; but still he (Col. Evans) thought that in the present tunes those great qualities were not so much wanted as good sense and honesty ; and he (Colonel Evans) having a reasonable share of those qualities, he hoped that he should not disappoint the hopes of his constituents.—(Hear, hear.) He could say that he veinal,' yield neitl er to Fox nor Sheridan in anxiety to perform those duties which, as their (the electors') representative, devolved upon him.—(Loud cheers.) lie would now allude to a matter of more importance to the electors—he meant the duties which the people bad exaected that the reformed Parliament would perform for them. Very little had been done of what was expected.—(Hear.) Muicb, indeed, had been done in voting estimates and supplies ; and all such too tams had passed with very little discussion.—(H,ar, hear.) The estimates for the military departments the Ministers had managed to get voted just the night pre vious to his (Col. Evans) takieg his seat.—(Hear, hear.) Those estimates had been arranged with little or no dis cussion. Such was the conduct of the reformed Parlia ment, which was nut a whit better than the unteformol, and, as it would now appear, much calumniated Parlia ment. There were other measures on which lie wished to remark. The Jews had indeed been, or were about to be emancipated. By that measure, twenty or thirty thousand persons had obtained justice; but that was riot the view in which he considered the subject im portant. It was important because it admitted a sound principle, and, as such, they owed the reformed Par liament their need of applause for having admitted it. —(Hear, beat.) The Jews, besides, were as respect able as any class of persons in the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) But then there were the house and window taxes, the repeal of which they had twice refused.— (Hear, bear.) The coupling of the house and window taxes with the malt tax was a species of hocus pocus beneath contetnpt.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He would h, g the meeting to ITRIalk the conduct of the metropolitan Members on the subject. On the first rejection of time motion for the repeal of the house and window taxes, those gentlemen said that they would have voted for the repeal if the malt duty haul not been mixed up with the question. But since then, they bad not scrupled to vote for the continuance of those I ',Les, although a motion was tit - ought forward for their repeal unemba-rassed with the ques;ioe of the malt duties. In giving that vote, they had voted against their conscences, against the interests of their constituents, and against good sense.—(Cheers. ) But he would beg them to observe who those persons were i . v ri tto thu s v i olated their faith with their constituent-. tru e !' %th.tereGeovveerYrrinunt. One n on e of the m in was t the in hereceiipitlatrcmfuhti: Dr. incomes Luslmington, who he (Colonel Evans) understood meant to vote for the conti nuance on the same principles, per haps, as he Was HOW induced t o agree with th Govern ment in their iniquitous plan far the abolition of sl ave --(Hear.) And there was Sir W. Horne, the Attorney_ Lienieral, who, it was said, was on the look-out for a seat H the Bench ; and a third was a Master in Chancery, with an income of 4,0001. a year from the people. To that last gentleman he wished to allude particularly, as he (Mr. Brougham) had thought fit to go out of his way during the last election, in order to denounce every voter who would support him (Colonel Evans). That gentleman had said that he knew that the only reason for which the electors of the borough could have chosen him (Mr. Brougham) as their representative, was on account of his name. He (Colonel Evans) cordial!) , agreed with the ' Hon. Member, that there could have been no other good cause for the choice—(Hear, and a laugh)—and the only manner in which he (Colonel Evans) would retaliate upon him now for having run him down to the West minster electors, was to point out the humiliating manner in which he now appeared before his own constituents. — (Hear, hear.) With regard to the house and window taxes, he would always consider it his duty to use his ut most endeavour to compel the Government to repeal them. —(Hear.) There had been delegates (90 in number) of the householders of Westmin-ter appointed '0 remonstrate with Government on the subject of the house and window taxes. Although many of these were, no doubt, excellent men, the majority were more in the character of an elec tion committee than of delegates, and the consequence had been that they did nothing. The public had, indeed. been amused with accounts of their interviews with Lord Althnrp, who received them aiways with the greatest poitteness, urbanity, and deference, and who as cured them that the subject would be taken into serious consideration—(Hear, and a laugh)—and the accounts of those interviews were regularly published next morning in the columns of the Times aid Morning Chronicle ; but what was the result? Merely that it was taken into consideration; and the electors were, therefore, to vote fur the Government candidate.—(Hear.) The next sub yet to which he wished to allude was the corn law taxes ; and sorry he was that they still continued to be exacted; fur, grievous as was the house and window tax, the tax upon corn was still more so. It was a tax upon food ; and it plundered the people, in order to fill the pockets of the great landlords.—( Hear, hear.) Nor did the landlords themselves profit so much by the monopoly as they supposed. He felt that the ex action of that duty was a great national loss; and he was borne out in that opinion by many Alembers of Rirliament, and airtime others by Sir Henry Parnell, who had estimated the loss to the nation by the twitiapoly of corn at twenty millions sterling a year. He hoped that the putilic would take up the question ; and that not only the inhabitants of towns, but the farmers themselves, who would ultimately fin t the benefit of the repeal as much as any class of men, would exert ti euaselves to obtain that object.—( Hear. ) When that toast hail been proposed, he felt that it ought to have been preceded by another toast ; for the same reason that cuss should always take the preci derive of effect. The previous toast ought to have been " The El, ctoi a of Westminster" hear, hear)—for they, and they only, had gained the triumph which they were then celebrating. It was not, however, the triumph of Westminster alone. It was the triumph of Britain, and was felt in its remotest parts. At the time when he first caine forward as can.li• daie for the honour of being their representative, lie had told his Committee, that if they cow,' get a more fitting man for the aiffi,e, lie would not only retire, but serve on the Committee of the roan whom they might think most fit. They decided that they had no more fitting man at their disposal, and he was happy to accept th-ir invita tion. At the last election, having previously pledged himself to come torwaid iin any future vacancy, tie felt himself bound to come to the poll, if there were not ten electors to support him, fur he thought it right to give the electors a fair chance rf relieving themselves timid the thraldom under which they were placed.—(Cheers.) The triumph which they had achieved was grew, but it was a mere a'oni, when compared with the great principles which were promoted by that triumph. —Ctieers.) The eye of t; e Court, and of the most pow erful aristocracy, had been upo❑ thetn—they were within the very verge of the Court—the power of Government had been exerted, and tiie weight and wealth of those two Baronets, between whom it had been well said, that the Coast whin had been et ucified—the power of all th se hid been used to the uttermost; hut, notwithstanding everything, the electors of Westminster had oar,cl to do themselves justice.—(Cheers.) Th. y had achieved their own triumph, and the triumph of the empire ~t large He h ped that the Stsfford electors would show ti.e same spirit, and do their duty in the same manner.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Mernb-r, after thanking the elector, for the honour done him, and assuring the e'ectors that ins utmost wish was to act up to his du'y to them, concluded by proposing "The Electors of Westminster."--(Loud cheering. Mr. CAKPLIE, on the part of the electors, returned thanks. He said that the electors of Westminster, who had suppor ed the Gallant Colonel, were called by their opponents Destructivel, Radicals, and other hard names. They were itaulcals, lie adulated it. He was a Radical, and when the mould had clued over his head, he wished for no other imicription on his tomb than—" H e re lie the remains of a Radical."—(Loud cheers.) And from whom had they learned their radicalism ?—from Horn Tooke—(Elear)—from Major Cartwright—(Hear, hear) —from Sir Francis Burdett—(Cries of no !)—and from a person once known as Juhn Cain 1101):10L1Se.-( Hear, and a laugh.) . Colonel EVANS then proposed " Daniel O'Connell, and a speedy red, egb co the wrongs of Irel ind.—(Loud cheert4 ) Mr. O'CONNELL felt deeply sensible of the manner to which his humble name h been received ; but lie hail felt a more thrilling sensation when he heard the addition made to the toast, of wishing a speedy redress to the wrongs of Ireland.—(Hear.) It almost drove hint mad whet] he thought of the wrongs inflicted upon unhappy Ireland, anti that by a reformed Pat li imeot.—(Hear, hear.) Had the Irish deserved it ?—(Cheers, and No, no.) When a majority of English and Scotch Members had voted against r. form, a majority of Irish members had voted in its hiveur—(Cheers)—and yet at that time there were thirty-nine rotten boroughs in Ire! ord. And for this g.aid ac , Ireland was deprived of Trial by Jury, the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended within its boundaries, and the people of Irel rod were even deprived of t e poor right of petition.—(Shame, and cheers.) He had not meant when he came to that meeting to allude to Ireland ; lie had come there to conerattilote them and Europe on the triumph achieved in Westminster.--(Cheers.) He had not come merely out of respect to his Ga lant Friend near him—by whose aide, by the bye, a position would he good in any fight—he had come as a friend of frfadorn, and a roan of honest and independent spirit, to thank them that they had thrown off the al ackles of Toryism on the one hand, and of Whigiam on the other—(Loud elite rs)—and more especially for having shaken off one of the couple of Baronets who had been so long fixed together, one on each side of Westminster, that they almost reduced West minster to the state of an overloaded ass.—(Laught-r.) He thanked them for the rejection of the Baronet, more than it they had rejected all the other Whigs, for he recol lected the magic which wa- once attached to the name of one at least of them. The Burdett of those days was the Evans of the present.—(Hear, hear.) At that time Burdett was the child of democratic principles—he was an outlaw for his democracy, and they had put him into Parliament for those p.inciples.—(Cheers.) He was not, as now, the aristocratic Member of Parliament to-day— perhaps the Lord to-morrow. No, he was a democrat, anti it was that principle, not himself, which tiitimphed. —(Loud cheers.) It was very well to advocate those princip'es till reform actually came ; but when it did arrive, great was the dismay which it created in the hearts of Its previous firm supporters.—(Hear ) Many seem ing democrats were sorry for the triumph of demo cratic principles, and consequently the democrat of ! eighteen years ago had become the aristocrat of the present day.—(Hear.) The consequence was, that the d.onocrats now had surrounded his Gallant Friend, and brought him in triumphantly. And he could tell then, when it had becom e known in the glens of his (Mr. O'Connell!s) native country, that the electors of Westminster had rejected the Irish Secretary, and chosen li the Gallant Soldier, the news created many a shout of joy. He had, therefore, come to thank them, and be need hardly say, to request them to persevere.—(Cheers, arid "We will.") They had not gained their object entirely yet. What change had they obtained in tie institutions of the country ?—(" None, none.") What ameliorations in the laws ?—(" Node, none," and cheers.) What tax had been abolished?—(" None, none.") Yes; the duty had been taken off tile.—(Loud laughter.) What did reform in Parliament signify without reform in the insti unions of the country ? It the sinecures and useless pensions were not abolished—if economy were not fol lowed, even by the highest servant of the state—(Cheers) —it would not do to go to the lowest and nibble there. They did not want the saving of candle ends and cheese parings.—(Cheers, and , a laugh.) They wanted real economy. He had heard, that at one of the dock yards a halfpenny a day had been lately taken from the pit tance of the labourer in order to save the public money, and that at the same time the salary of an in -pector had been considerably increased. That was the very sort of economy to which he objected. He would add a penny to the wages of the poor man, and take 1001. from the salary of the rich inspector.—( Hear, hear, hear.) In the four months during which the reformed Parliament had sat, what had they obtained —what had Engaand got ? —(Hear, hear ; and " What aid Ireland get ?") lie would tell them what Ireland had got—Despotism ! (Loud (Loud cheers.) The reformed Parliament had delivered the lives and properties of the whole of the people of Ire :and to a few pcor creatures to deal with them as they , Plea'ed.—(Cheers.) After some observations about the J ewe and liberty of conscience—the slaves and rights of property _and the in my delusions practised on the peopl by the Whigs—the Hon. and Learned Gentleman pro ceided to say, that he had heard the Tories were again coming into office. Bah ! Wae the Thames cons nz up to Oxford ? Why, in one half year, should the Tories come again into power, they would have a movement indeed. They would have the Whigs honest aglin.—(Laughter, and loud cheers.) What filming patriotism would they have then—what " OM Glory" would be revived—(Hurras)—how Westminster's Pride would break forth—what Palace-yard orations they should have in favour of liberty and justice.—(Loud cheers.) No, no ; it was fur the people to look neither to Whig nor to Tory, but to themselves.—(Cheers.) They must con summate the example they had :let by legal and constitu tional means;—they must thus pursue the advant tees they had gained, and never rest or be contented till they had rooted out all abuses, and they were governed by coalition sense and the light of reason, and until they had made taxation fill upon the property of the country.—(Loud cheers.) Let them pursue this course ; and what was by many looked upon as a romantic dream, would soon be found a substantial reality, and 0-en they, the electors of Westminster, who had begun the fight, might, in the hour of victory, celebrate that day as they had done this.— (Great cheering.) After a few more toasts, the Chairman, with his friends, retired. COURT CIRCULAR. The KING held a Levee yesterday at two o'clock. The Guard of Honour was selected from the Ist Regiment of Life Gusrds. The Speaker of the House of Commons came in state. His MAJRSTY held a Privy Council, at which the How WILLIAM BATHURST attended as Clelk. An order was agreed upon, taking off the embargo laid upon Dutch vessels. Lord LYTTLETON was introduced to the Council, and sworn in Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Worcester. The Marquis of TimmoNn and Lord JAMES O'BRYEN had audiences of the KING, and took leave previous to their departure for Irolanil. His MAJESTY also gave audiences to the Marquis of WINCHESTER, Earl GREY, Viscount PALMERSTON, Sir J. GRAHAM, the Duke of RICHMOND, Viscount AL THORP, the Earl of ALBEMARLE, and Mr. C. GRANT.

LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK ELEC- TION 111 EETIN G. Pursuant to a requisition to the churchwardens and oversees of the parish of Leamington Priors, a meeting was held at the Town.hall on Wednesd,iy last, for the pur. pose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parlii ment relative to ti,e measure in agitation for uniting the town of Li-amington to the elective franchise of the bo rough of Howick. The Rev. Mr. Dowses was unanimously voted to the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that when his services were solicited, he declined making any exertions, from an im pression that it was a meeting for political purposes ; upon c• nsideration, he found it to be of an enrir-ly diffe rent character. It was for the purpose of preventing the peaceable inhabitants of the town from participating in the binds and hateful passions which w.-re engendered in a neighbouring town. He would not dwell upon the evi:s film' the measure which they had met maven but merely state that it was their object to separate Leamington from Warwick, in a political sense. W thout dwelling on the manifest inconsistency of uniting Leamington with the politic:l squabbles of Warwick—wit'mut giving ;in opi nion w h e th e r it would be an innovation on the Reform Bill, he would simply put it to the meeting, whether it w. uld not materially aff ct th it comforts, a, residents or as mechanic-, who obtained their iivelihood by tHe profits 4risine from visiters to this aereeable ant healthy town. Should the union he effected, he was confident it would create an aversion necessarily attendant upon elections, and the result would be destruetive to the general interest, of the town. The Rev. Gent! man then read the requisition, which stated the obj.-ct of the meeting, and Colonel STEUART then rose, and said it was unnecessary for him to enter into the subject, after what had been said by the Rev. Gentleman in the chair ; but he could not reject this opportunity r.f alluding to a statement which had been ma 'e in the Leaminyion Courier, rela tive to the election of Sergeant Goulburn. It was there stated that he (Colonel Steuart) had been canvassing far that gentleman ; but the fact was, that lie had taken no part whatever in the election or the canvass, therefore the st,tenient was incorrect. He had been engaged in the Warwick elections for a period of twenty years, in con-e -quence of the attrchmnent he felt for the Warwick family; but was happy to say, he hail now retired from the con fusion attendant upon such occasions ; and having fixed his residence at Leamington, he hoped the town would lie always free from electioneering tumult. He therefore begged to move " That a petition he presented to Pat lia menu, praying that Leamington anal Warwick may not be wilted in tie elec'ive iratic‘aise." GOSLING, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was then carried. A petition to Parliament, embodying the complaint, and praying that some other means might be adopted by the Legisl ture to amend the corrupt system practised at Warwick, without affec ing the interests of the town, was then read and carried ummimously. Mr. Jrctixixos then said, that a resolution had just been put into his hand which be begged, without continent, to present to the meeting, and which .Vas as follows: " That the petition be intrusted to the county Members for presentation, and that Lord Eastoor and W. C. Rus sell, Esq., be also requested to give it their support. Mr. G. BIRD seconded the resolution. Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

We call the attention of our maritime readers to the Patent Chain-cable Stopper, invented by Mr. BATTIN of the Royal Navy, as obviating entirely the risk of injury to the cable, and of danger to the crew, which has been hitherto run in the use of other cable stopper*. BATTEN'If stripper may be easily managed by a single sea man in ships of the largest class ; it is fixed under the combings of the hatchway, and is formed of two levers, which, by the operation of a simple pully, fix the chain by confining it to the indented part of an iron plate upon hich the levers traverse. Although the name of compressor has been (improperly) given to this stopper, it does not at all aff et the cable by compression, which would in fact be causing an injury to the links of the cable, but merely acts as a check or stopper, so as to regulate the length of cable to be run out, and to confine it at any required point. So complete is the effect of this important nautical im provement, that the utmost certainty of action may be attained without tire slightest risk to cable, stopper, or seaman, of which the most satisfactory trials in his M.- jesty's navy have already given ample proof. Th e High Sheriff of Surrey has call e d a County Meeting at Croydn, for S i t ur d ay next , at tin dye c to take into consideration the propriety o f peti tioning for a repeal of the house, window, and malt tax e s. e k, J. WILKs, Esq., one of the representatives for Boston, still continues in a very precarious state of hea l t h, The malady under which we believe the lion. Gentleman labours (epileptic fits) is of a most distressing ,haracter, impairing the mental as well as bodily system ~t" the sufferer. —.
