(No. 12,845.) PUBLIC DINNER TO THE EARL OF N DURHAM AT SUDERLAND. . • (Abridged from the Durham Chronicle of Friday.) The public dinner to the above distinguished and pa triotic Nobleman, announced in our last publication, took place at the Bridge Inn, Bishopwearmoutb, on Wednesday last, when his Lordship was honoured with the attendance of a numerous and most respectable company of gentle men, who, cordially agreeing with him in political senti ment, eagerly availed themselves of the opportunity of his sojourn in the North, to offer him this deserved tribute to the exemplary consistency of his public life, the integrity of his motives, and the admirable and uncompromising spirit in which he has devoted the energies of his mind, and the influence of his station, to the advocacy of the in terests and the protection of the rights of the people of England. His Lordship, accompanied by his brother, Mr. Hedworth Lambton, arrived at the Bridge Inn about five o'clock, where he as received by the crowd outside and by the party assembled to meet him within, with the most lively indications of respect, gratitude, and affection. Abwut 'OK o'clock, nearly 140 gentlemen (by whom the room its filled to excess) sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The chair was taken by Addison Fenwick, Esq., supported on his right by the Earl of Durham, J. Fawcett, Esq., R. Fenwick, Esq., the Mayor of Durham, W. Robinson, Esq., and J. Simpson, Esq. ; and on his left by Mr. Lambton, the Rev. Mr. Grant, Dr. Brown, C. Bramwell, Esq., W. Long ridge, Esq., and Russell Bowlby, Esq. B. Ogden, Esq., W. Bell, Esq., and W. Featherston, Esq., were the Vice- Presidents. Sir Hedworth Williamson was absent from indisposition. When the cloth wits removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The King," which was drunk with three times three. " God save the King," was sung by Mr. Kirkaldy, the company standing and joining chorus. " The Queen," with three times three. " The Princess Victoria, and the rest of the Royal Family," with three times three. The CHAIRMAN said—Although the toast I am about to give might be considered included in the last, there is an Illustrious Member of the Royal Family whom I think deserving of our especial notice, as one who has ever been the strenuous advocate of civil and religious liberty.— (Cheers.) I therefore beg that you will drink " The health of the Duke of Sussex."—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three and all the honours. " The Navy and Army." The CHAIRMAN then rose amidst loud cheers, and said—lt is now become my duty to propose the toast which is more immediately connected with the object of our meeting. I should have felt a difficulty in the situa tion in which I stand, had I considered it necessary, in introducing this toast, to preface it by many observations. But I feel assured, that in mentioning the name of the Noble Lord on my right—(Loud cheers)—l shall arouse in your breasts a far stronger feeling than the most studied and elaborate address could produce.—(Cheers.) We have invited the Noble Lord to be our guest on this occasion, that we might have the opportunity of congratulating him on his return to this county, after an absence of some years, and from a desire to testify the high estimation in which we hold his public and private character.—(En thusiastic cheers.) I will not say any thing in the pre sence of the Noble Lord which might lay me under the imputation of flattery—he is your neighbour, and I am sure you duly appreciate his merits.—(Cheers.) The political character of the Noble Lord has been too distin guished to render many comments, on my part, ❑ecessary. Most of you who are now present will recollect the vic tory—the triumphant victory—which was achieved under his banner in the year 1820—(Loud cheers)—by which the independence of this county was secured, I trust, for ever; and which event was celebrated in this room by a meeting as numerous and respectable as this. Since that time, it is well known the Noble Lord has been the stre nuous advocate of the rights of the people—(Cheers)—and in that great achievement in favour of liberty, the passing of the Reform Bill, it is notorious that he took an active and distinguished part.—(Loud cheering.) Were it for no other cause, his Lordship is entitled to our deep and lasting gratitude.—(Cheers.) I will not trespass on your attention further. lam sure you are anxious to drink the toast ; and I am equally sure you will receive it with that ardent enthusiasm which the object of it so justly de serves ; and I trust the Noble Lord will receive it as a testimony of our sincere esteem for his private character, and of our unbounded gratitude for his great and distin guished public services. I give you " the health of the Earl of Durham." The toast was drunk with five times five truly British cheers and long continued applause. In all our experience of public meetings we never witnessed a more animated and heart stirring scene. The excitement having for a moment subsided. Lord DURHAM rose, and was received with renewed, continued, and vehement applause. After silence had been restored, several seconds elapsed before his Lordship could commence his speech—so deeply did he appear to feel the more than cordiality, the unqualified affection and enthusiasm with which be was received by the company. When he was enabled to proceed, he addressed the party to the following effect :—lt is really not a mere figure of sp-ech, or affectation, to say, that the very kind and affectionate manner in which you have received the roast that has been proposed to you almost deprives me of the power of utterance—(Cheers)—for whatever may have been the tributes of respect paid to me in other quarters, you are my immediate neighbours, and al most my fellow-townsmen, connected together by the nearest ties by which raen can be united ; and such warm and enthusiastic marks of your approbation go direct to the heart.—(Loud cheers.) I have, indeed, had a gratifying compliment paid to me—your invitation to meet you this day—the desire you have expressed to see me once more amongst you, after so long an absence— connected with the tribute you are willing publicly to pay to my political character, more particularly as it has been unfolded since I was relieved from the service I was happy to enjoy as your representative—all these considerations affect me beyond the power of expression, and make me anxious to convey to you, as far as my limited powers will admit, the deep emotions of gratitude with which I receive it.—(Cheers.) Those feelings of gratitude are not dimi nished when I recollect that it has been conveyed through the medium of my worthy and excellent friend, your highly esteemed fellow-townsman, whom you have placed in the chair—he whom I have known since my earliest boyhood, and whom you have intimately known and cor dially respected, while you have witnessed him nobly sus taining, in all the situations of life, the character of an upright English merchant, and conferring as much honour upon his native town as he derived from it.—(Loud cheers.) If anything could be more gratifying to me than another, it is your selection of my Honourable Friend to preside on the present occasion.—(Renewed plaudits.) He has alluded, in proposing my health, to the great and glorious victory which we achieved together thirteen years ago. I assure you I look back with pride and pleasure to the events of that day ; and it is no small increase of my satisfaction to find that they have not faded from your re collection. Amidst the chequered life I have passed, I have always reflected, with satisfaction, on the part I took on that occasion, and on others whenl represented you in Parliament. In reference to that glorious tri umph, and to the present state of this town, and of the whole county of Durham, though many of you may remember its former condition, yet, as there may be many others, among my younger friends now present, who were not then observers of the affairs of public life, who do not, you will allow me to describe as briefly as I can, the posi tion of the county in 1813, when I first had the honour of entering Parliament as its representative. There w as th en no public feeling of any desctiption 7 -the gentry of the county were chiefly Tories—the Magisterial Bench was filled by the same party — al l public meetings were held at the gates of the Bishop's palace, and the Reverend P re l ate generally attended—instructions were given to the t enants how they were to vote, and their lands were held up ac cording to the inclination, audio obedience to the . bidding, of their landlords—and on one importa nt occasion, whi c h some of you may remember, even the eloquence of my illustrious relation, Lord Grey, and of my ho noured father, failed to produce any effect —they were op. posed by the Bishop and the Tory gentry ; and :esolu dons similar to those that were carried with enthusiasm in other parts of the kingdom, were, on the Colleze-green, negatived almost by acclamation.—(Hear.) It was under these circumstances I presented myself to the notice of the freeholders of the county. I know that, on that occa sion—and I own it with pride and pleasure, for you knew nothing of myself.-_I was elected solely on the strength of the character and reputation of my father— (Cheers)—and I may express to you a confident hope, that in every subsequent action of my life, I did nothing to disgrace his name.—(Repeated cheers.) The first point to. .Which turned my attention was, to endeavour to create some public feeling in the county—some attachment to constitutional principles—in short, to induce the people of the county to think for themselves.—(Cheers.) It was on that account I encouraged public meetings on every occasion interesting to the feelings of the country—on every question affecting not merely local rights or interests, but the general rights and interests of the empire.-- (Cheers.) With these views I joined my friends in getting up those meetings, which many of you will doubtless remember. I succeeded.—(Cheers.) One after another those meetings took place; and I at last had the happi ness of seeing the county of Durham take its just and natural position amongst the enlightened and inde pendent counties of England.—(Loud and enthu siastic cheers.) I need hardly call your recollec tion to the first public meeting in this town. It was convened by the late Rector, on the question of the disturbances at Manchester. I came alone into the room, and found a party of gentlemen, chiefly of the neighbourhood, who said they were representing the sentiments of Sunderland. I thought it a strange mode of representing those senti ments to hold a meeting of which no public notice had been given. I addressed them on the subject, and in half an hour the inhabitants of the town flocked in—an ad journment was carried for two or three days, and then the real and unanimous feeling of the town was clearly ascertained.—(Cheers.) It was the occurrence of all these circumstances which led to that glorious triumph to which my Hon. Friend has alluded, and enabled me to contend, against a greater power and influence than was ever exerted against one individual.—(Cheers.) I had against me, and against you—for we were all fighting for one common cause—the influence of the Crown, the bishop, the dean and chapter, the bench, and the greater propor tion of the gentry, who were Tories—and every resource of that powerful combination was brought into the field without the slightest scruple or delicacy whatever. We fought together and triumphed—(Loud cheers) —and I trust the result of that victory has been to place on an im perishable basis the independence of this great and popu lous county. The part I took in those transactions has been constantly a source of the greatest gratification to me. The recollection of them has been an incentive to great and laborious exertion, and also, let me tell you, a consola tion in hours of despair and sorrow.—(Loud cheers.) It is true that the connection between us has been, latterly, less immediate—it is true that I have been removed to another House of Parliament; but I appeal to many who are around me whether, after that removal took place, I ever relaxed in ray efforts to protect the commercial inte rests of the county of Durham, and of this town in parti cular—(Loud applause)—whether I did not devote every hour of my time to the consideration and enforcement of every just claim they had to the attention of that House of Parliament.—(Renewed cheers.) I know that in this transfer of the sphere of my duties I abandoned a stage on which I might, perhaps, have distinguished myself more, and where, in the present state of parties, I might have gained more influence on my countrymen than that on which I am now placed. But I considered that some benefit might, perchance, be secured, by placing in that House one who was born, bred, and educated amongst the people—(Great and continued cheering)—one who, from early conviction, had felt that the main object which a Statesman ought to have in view should be the happiness of his fellow-countrymen, not the attainment of any object of ambition, except so far as that should be connected with the advocacy of that grand and glorious cause, and to defend the public interests amongst those who were not, by educa• tion or ha! s, inclined to attach so much importance to them as himself.--(Loud cheers.) Under these circum stances, unpleasant as was the task, and unpleasant as I found it to be opposed personally to the habits and pre judicss of those amongst whom I was placed, the previous education of the House of Commons enabled me, I be lieve, to perform more important services than I could have rendered my country had I remained fighting its battles with others, my friends, in the Lower House. Thus much I do know, that the experience I gained in the House of Commons was very often of most essential service in the conducting of public business, and in ells citing important information, when it devolved upon me to defend the rights and liberties of the people, in the discussion of measures brought before the House of Peers --(Loud applause.) having said so much of the feelings and motives which prompted me to exertion as your re presentative in the Commons' House of Parliament, you will permit me to add, that if any link in the chain that bound us together was loosened by my removal from that honourable station, I feel a proud satisfaction in seeing that connection renewed in the person of a near and dear relation cf mine, who, if I kuow aoytliiiig of him, will follow in those footsteps which gained me your approba tion and esteem, and devote himself, as I ever did, heart and soul to your service.—(Loud cheer-) I have not devoted myself, not only to your service, but to the cause of liberty and freedom, without having suf fered som e thi ng i n the conflict—without having been subjected, as all of you know trona past experience, to most untounded and most injurious attacks.—(Cheers.) But I have this consolation—that my own conscience ac. quits me of being actuated by any purpose bu t for anxiety for the public good—of having any other wish or motive than an earnest desire to promote the liber ties and ha pp i. ness of my countrymen.—(Loud cheers.) Perhaps many of you who pay attention to the reports wh ich appear, of all that takes place amongst us and our neighbours, will be aware of the sentiments I have lately expressed on po litical matters.—(Cheers.) It is, therefore, unnecessary to repeat what I addressed to my country men at Gates head. I know that you must think deeply of the present state of the country ; and to you who are now awakened, so far as relates to the exercise of the constituent privilege, to a new-born sense of the duties which are attached to that sacred trust, I would recommend strict attention to all that passes around you. I would press upon you the paramount necessity of continuing a vigilant superintend ence over the conduct of all who are engaged in public life, and especially over those who rule the destinies of the country—in conjunction with whom I acknowledge, with pride and exultation, the part I took, as alluded to by my Hon. Friend, in introducing the great measure of Reform. —(Loud cheers.) I impress upon you die necessity of devoting your attention to the rci,onet of your repre sentatives in Parliament; and I trust my Hon. Relation will not feel annoyed if I press upon you, his con stituents—and I believe the greater part of you are such—the necessity of examining every vote he way give in Parliament ; for lie assured, that second only in importance to the conduct of their representatives is the conduct of the constituent body.—(Loud cheers.) 01 what avail is it to confer those privileges upon you which raise you to the rank and dignity of freemen—which enable you, through your rept eeentatives, to defend the commercial interests of this port, and of the country at large—of what avail, I oak, are those privileges, if you do not exercise them with reference to the general good of the country ?—(Cheers.) I exhort you to impress upon your friends and neighbours the absolute necessity of acting upon public principle, and of increasing vigilance; for if the rights and liberties of the country are not strictly attended to, they may, in the hour of triumph, be suffered to fall as much into abeyance as they were before. We live in no ordinary times. I repeat that I fear there is a restless spirit abroad ; and I am sure it can only be allayed by the means to which 1 alluded on a former oc casion—and by wise and good men, like yourselves, who also have property and a stake in the country, demanding those wise and useful reforms which would lead, not to convulsion, but to security.—(Cheers.) We have to contend against those who desire no reformation, and would return to the old days of corruption, and also against those who would introduce con fusion and revolution amongst us.—(Loud cheers.) I ought, perhaps, to apologize for addressing you at so much length o n thi s occas i on ; b u t I h ave b een l e d into this train of reasoning by the considerations that were suggested to the by the observations of my Hon. Friend Cut,b w nwayne i nwe t , h neteothayf r ier e nti g ytheco a e:o r a p[dlrsnastapbatroatool state in fai t risi nniufaeneunlnrgvxtliyfo) which au i hs o nr glorious devotion ovei necessarilytreani not found s of the year 1820, and toco f uu o hi ri r te, c tesy e ren d :ro.wvw) i i t he s ee e in, l ls f ,alfno u ai trn o oesd n i: Li : t o e u y c s ( ten.— (Loud al ne r c la c townsheers. e i t invaluablew i o ut a n r y; it with four representatives; I now see it with )enjolyfionugno of i its r g e r p e r a e t se c n oi t n ... - tion ; and I have had the pleasure and happiness of seeing this great and important town placed in the enjoyment of the privilege which now belongs to it, and which I trust you will ever be found to exercise according to the principles on which it was extended.—(Cheers.) I should be unpardonable were I now to detain you any longer. I am conscious I have done so too long already ; but you will allow something for the natural anxiety I felt, after being separated from you so long, to convey to you those sentiments which I know will find willing auditors in all your hearts.—(Cheers.) We have been so long united— we have fought and triumphed so often—we are so B 890• ciated as friends and neighbours, and so connected by the ties of property and mutual interest—that nothing can happen for the weal or woe of Sunderland which must not equally affect me.—(Loud cheers.) I drink all your good health,; and may every happiness and prosperity which this world can afford attend you and yours. His Lordship having sat down, the whole company spontaneously rose and greeted him with three times three deafening rounds of applause. Mr. OGDEN then rose and spoke to the following effect • —ln introducing to you the toast I am about to give, I feel confident of its being received with enthusiasm. I have to propose to you, " Lord Grey and the cause of Re form."—(Loud applause.) lam well aware that it will not be in my power to increase the estimation in which the Noble Lord is already held ; and were I to attempt eulogy, it might fairly be charged to me as vanity or pre sumption. But as I have, to a certain degree, had oppor tunities of ole-•rving the political progress of the Noble Lord, for a period of forty years, I beg to say a few words to such part of my audience as have not yet counted forty years. I shall sum up the character of the Noble Lord in a few words—a warm and sterling supporter of civil and religious liberty, an opponent of all abuses, and a persever ing. and energetic advocate for their abatement.—(Cheers.) Influenced by such principles, we find him, in 1792, associated with a party comprising men of the most bril liant talents of the day, who were united for the express purpose of effecting, by constitutional means, the reform of public grievances—amongst the most prominent of which they considered the defective state of the representation. And here, I hope, it may net be considered inappropriate in me to remark, that the Chairman of this patriotic band was no other than the father of the Noble Lord now present.—(Cheers.) Mr. Grey's first public effort in the House of Commons was a notice of his intention to move for leave, in the ensuing 1 Session, to bring in a Bill for the better representation of the people in Parliament. The state of public affairs in the interval of Mr. Grey's notice in 1792, and his intro ducing his motion in 1793, was such as to be peculiarly inimical to his success. It was a period of high political ex citement, and embraced some of the darkest months of the crimes of the French revolution. It was, therefore, no surprise that his motion was negatived by a large majo rity. The active mind of Mr. Grey was not to be diverted from its object. He, therefore, again and again, continued his attempt ; but the general war that suc ceeded, coupled with the excesses of the French revolu tionists, created such alarm in this country, that even to speak of reform was attributed to dissatisfaction. Our glorious naval victories, which followed in quick succes sion, and the almost entire monopoly of the maritime commerce of the world by this country, induced many even well meaning people to think that we needed no reform. It is not during the excitement of war and victory that the still small voice of reason is heard— ( Hear, hear)—and it was not until our army, emulating the glorious efforts of our navy, by a series of splendid achievements, had changed the aspect of affairs in Europe that a general peace ensued, and left us overwhelmed with glory, and overwhelmed w ith debt. Recent events are too fresh in your recollection, to need any recapitulation—(Hear)—and it may suffice to say, that on Lord Grey's accession to office, supported by a patriot Monarch and an enlightened and liberal adminis tration, he availed himself of this opportunity of effecting an object which had been paramount with him through life—namely, a reform in the representation.—(Cheers.) And here suffer me to say it would be improper in me to omit to mention the valuable assistance he derived from the assiduity, the perseverance, and the distinguished talents of our Noble Guest.—(Cheers.) Numerous and great were the obstacles thrown in the way of the Noble Lord in his progress; hut energy and steadiness of purpose were ultimately triumphant, and the Rsform Bill now stands as part and parcel of the law or the land.— (Cheers.) It is impossible to say, at this period, what may be the extent of advantages, political and municipal, arising from thi , measure ; but under such auspices I hope for much good.—(Cheers.) And I trust that the page of history will be emblazaned with the names of Lord Grey and his coadjutors, as the true conservatives—as the rest conservators of our laws and liberties, and of every thing that is valuable in civil society.—(Cheers.) The toast was then drunk with great applause. Mr. FAWCETT, in proposing " His Majesty's Minis ters," after a few intro:iuctory observations which we did not distinctly hear, said—l shall not ask you to look at the past conduct of the Government—not that I am afraid to call upon you to do so, because I consider that if, in any degree, the people of this country think Ministers have not, on some occasions, gone so far as they ought to have done, they should give them credit for the difficulties in which they have been placed.—(Cheering ) They have introduced great and mighty reforms into our insti tutions, and have had to contend with great and powerful opposition to them. They have had to combat the power of the East India Comp iny, all the strength of the West India Interest, and a powerful Bank Interest likewise,— (Hear, hear.) But if you think they have not trusted sufficiently to the gond sense of the people, I hope such meetings as this will convince them that they may safely confide in the intelligence and respectability of the people, and have little to fear from those echo would threaten us with anarchy and confusion.--(Loud cheers.) trust we may look upon She present Government as those who will be the constant and determined advocates of political improvement—who will boldly and strenu ously assert souwl political principles, and with strict justice and good sense enforce them.—(Cheers.) It is on these grounds I now call upon you to drink " His Majesty's Ministers." The toast was received with three times three. Mr. FEATHERSTON proposed " the healths of the Members for the Northern Division ;" and i❑ doing so, highly complimented them for their exertions in favour of reform, and particularly alluded to the exertions of Mr. Lasnbton, as a Member of the Commercial and Agricultural Committee of the House of Commons. The toast was drunk with immense applause. Mr. lIEDWORTII LAN:I:now, on rising to return thanks, was hailed with great enthusiasm. Ile spoke as follows: —Need I tell you that I come here with pleasure, with pride, and with the greatest delight? I should have these feelings were I only a common acquaintance of the Noble Lord whom you have met to honour, seeing and feeling that our public opinions are one and the same.— (Cheers.) But how much greater, how touch stronger, how much deeper, must not I have those feelings in my bosom, when I come here as his brother?—(Cheers.) And numerous as are the points of view in which I look upon the honour which you have paid him, there is one in which I look upon it with the greatest pleasure ; for I do say, that so lung as my Noble R,lative is surrounded and supported by such respectability, intelligence, and virtue as I now bee before me, his reputation has nothing to fear from the attacks of his enemies—nothing to fear from base and unjust calumniators.—(Cheers.) No; it is not the wicked and unprincipled libeller—not that system of lying which, I grieve to say, at the present period, defiles, degrades, and disgraces a small portion of the press—that can injure his reputation. It is not that, but I say that, in whatever point of view we may look at it, it 18 a system of lying that ought to be unmasked, and cannot be too soon put an end to; for, believe me, that the press, to perform its great work of public instruction .—to execute and to operate all those great benefits which its splendid capabilities qualify it to impart—to give that great impulse to civilization which belongs to its natural power—l say, that to do this, in the nineteenth century, the press must not only be free, but it must be virtuous.— (Loud cheers.) If it is not virtuous, you render it almost powerless to do good, but you make it all-powerful to do harm.--(Renewed cheers.) I do not think that my Noble Relative's reputation is in danger of suffering even front the hostility of Mr. Attwood.—(A loud burst of laughter.) The laughter which accompanies the mention of his name is a comment —.a sledgehammer comment—that renders it unnecessary for me to say one word more.—(Cheers.) I consider the comment to be so severe, that I feel sorrow for that unfortunate individual.--.(Cheers and laughter.) Nor is it the attacks, the combined attacks of the scattered remnants of the Tory party—not all their wealth—not all their talent—not all their vindictiveness (which is 1 / 04 Z/b 4.11- l t - 1/2t-pu. 4ll :lt.' th m v ' adornei and diginfied her station, and were the surest bonds on the ``attachment and affecti on s of th e h u man heart. The toast was drunk with the most enthusiastic and rapturous applause. Lord DURHAIC—I beg to acknowledge with feelings of the sincerest gratitude the compliment you have paid to a t person so nearly and dearly connected with me; nor I o pp e It 4, cannot express that sentiment without paying my best tribute of thanks to my Reverend Friend, for the very kind, feeling, and eloquent manner in which het s pro. ■ posed the toast. I should not do justice to my own feel -133. (PRICE ings if I did not congratulate you and m y se lf, on ha v i ng witnessed the reception you have given the Reverend t Gentleman. Would to Heaven we had oftener an oppor saying a great deal)—it is not all these combi tunity of meeting the members of his sacred profession! able to injure his reputation, so long a: They would then be convinced of what I now fearlessly oorted by so much respectability, so much assert—that we are true friends to the Church of Eng ') much virtue, as are now present.—(Chi land—(Loud cheers)—and that whilst we wish to re perhaps, recollect these lines of Goldsmi move the abuses which disfig ure p ar t o f its establishment, lie tall cliff that lifts its awful form, and are injurious to such excellent and worthy chana front the vale, and midway leaves the f. ters as my Reverend Friend, yet we have that feeling -round its breast the rolling clouds are of attachment to that Church which every man who eshine settles on its head." values real and pure religion, free alike from bigotry and at all these attacks combined—aye, faJaticism, must always possess.—(Loud cheers.) I 'mans] times more than I have di would, therefore, if I had the power, make it efficient, , o far as to darken the sunshine by removing all that can excite prejudic:s against it, and 'Ald cheers.) My noble relati , cutting off those excrescences that obscure its beauty and ‘e was elected member for the ct impair its utility—(Reiterated cheers)—but to real, of the character of, and the I exemplary, and truly Christian servants of the Church, err lamented father ; but if I would extend that protection which can alone be be more was I dependant, for nefieial to virtue and to our country—that protection to hold, upon the character which would enable them to disseminate in respectability, cheers.) I was unknow and, if not in wealth, at least in competence, the v where I went to canoe glorious truths of the gospel.—(Continued applause.) made to me—" You a You will excuse my making these observations, which is enough."—(Cheers, were elicited by the toast proposed by my Reverend Friend. 'flow in his footsteps And now, with respect to the to ist itself—the sentiment ell follow in-hie fesat. it breathed—the kind attachment it expressed to my fa mense distance, yet roily—l will only say, and you will not accuse me of vas trance I shall s-e nity when I make the assertion, that I expected no less person from my from you --(Cheers.) If my family has been connected 'II ever wave —as it has been—for eight hundred years with the county ' , ere he was, of Durham—if tradition runs not to the time when it lause. 1 He was not connected with its best interacts—if, during the enoyed ley whole of that period, it has been ever identified with the ny con- prosperity, and anxious to defend the interests of the rt the county—if, from the first moment when it obtained the from right of representation in Parliament, some member of ted my family has represented either the county or the city of Durham ; and if no antiquarian, however industrious, nor adversary, however bitter, can lay any charge against them of having ever conspired agains' the interests of the country—if fro:u all but personal animosity to its present head it stands unspotted before yoa, frankly say, that I did expect you would offer to it that grateful, but, at the same time, just and merited tribute, which has been conveyed in the applause with which you received this toast.—(Great cheering.) If I live to have superintend ence over the education of that portion of my family which may be interested in the further preservation of your rights, I shall bring them up in the principles, the assertion of which recommended their ancestors to your notice—(Cheers)—and be assured that, in the performance of that important duty, I shall be assisted, diligently and ardently, by the noble lady whose health you have drunk —who feels, with me, an equal interest in the prosperity, happiness, and welfare of the kind and dear friends whom I now see around me.—(Loud cheers.) Dr. BROWN—The transcendent merits of the indivi; dual I inn about to name, will secure a favourable reception to the toast it has fallen to my lot to propose. To set forth all Lord Brougham's titles to glory, and the grwi :tide of his country, were an endless task.—(Cheers.) As an orator, he is acknowledged to be unrivalled in that power wbela e d o f ; sarcasm ad if b b e y b w e h n ic o l t i n a r n ,,t a , n i t i agni ei o s ais to unquestionably b ov the very first line of the highest walk of eloquence by which truth is illustrated and enforced.—(Cheers.) But oratorical powers, surpassing though they be, constitute but a small port of the merits of this extraordinary man. Of him it may be said, with more truth than of any other, that he is " a man so various, that be seems to be not one, but all great men's epitome."—(Cheers.) There is scarcely an object of useful intellectual exertion in which he Las net shown himself the master. It is true that he has not lavished the powers of his stupendous mind on pursuits which, however graceful and ornamental, may be considered as rather redounding to the honour of the individual than to the well-being of others.—(Cheers.) Lord Brougham's mind is essentially a practical arid useful one—in short, an Eneir h mind ; and its won. Brous powers have been applied to the amelioration of the institutions of his country ; and, through these of the moral and physical condition of his fellow-creatures.— (Cheers.) Aware that in proportion as men are wel educated, they are generally virtuous and happy —aware that it is the mind of England that must give her a su periority over rival nations—he has endeavoured to place useful knowledge so within the reach of every man in the country, that only by his own fault can he be destitute of it.—(Cheers.) I am aware that there are well mesning persons who will not class these exertions in the cause of education among the merits of Lord Brougham. I will not pause to refute the arguments which I have heard, or read, against the diffusion of knowledge, but merely re mark, that there are certain intellectual powers bestowed upon man by Divine Providence; and I with ask whether it is not our duty to cherish and cultivate these as we do the other gifts of the Author of our being, rather than suffer them to remain useless and dormant ? The people --using the word in its most extended sense—will, of necessity, know a very great deal. Is it not the duty, then, of those who possess the power, to take care that they should have the opportunity of knowing that which is good ? I beg to propose the toast, " Lord Brougham and National Education.".—(Great applause.) Lord DORHAJI-I have requested permission of the Chairman to give a toast, and I trust it is one which will meet your approbation. We have the pleasure of having amongst us a friend from a neighbouring town, who is the head of the Corporation of that place. The Mayor of the city of Darliain having honoured us with his presence, it would ill become us to separate without paying him that tribute of respect and attention which he so justly deserves. (Cheers.) Besides, you must be well aware, that at such - a very peculiar moment—which has already been alluded to by some of my friends as that of the trial of Corpora.. tions—the support and attachment of friends is more gratefully received by individuals who are about to pass through suc'a an ordeal.--(Laughter and cheers.) What ever may be the result of the inquiry into the Corporations now in existence—whatever job may be elsewhere disco vered—whatever nests of undue and improper influences may, in other places, be smoked out—l feel confident the Corporation of thr City of Durham will come unscathed from the trial: I am confi lent, from all I know of them. that the strictest inquiry will redound to their credit, and that the only fault the Commissioners will have to find with diem will be an honourable and independent poverty, --(Loud cheers.) After all, these painful inquiries may prove a benefit even to the Corporations themselves. If you will excuse a bad pun—which I offer without mean ing any offence to the Learned Commissioner, who, I un. derstand, discharges his duties with great ability and int, partiality—l would say, (PRICE 7D.) saying a great deal)—it is not all these combined that will be able to injure his reputation, so long as I see him supported by so much respectability, so much intelligence, Ind so much virtue, as are now present.—(Cheers.) Many o f you, perhaps, recollect these lines of Goldsmith : " As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head." Now, I say, that all thitse attacks combined—aye, and let them be fifty thousand times more than I have described —can never rise so far as to darken the sunshine of my brother's fame.—(Loud cheers.) My noble relative has told you, that when he was elected member for the county, he was so on account of the character of, and the confi dence of the people in, our lamented father ; but if such was his case, how much more was I dependant, for the station I have the honour to hold, upon the character and reputation of him._(Loud cheers.) I was unknown ; but in every part of the county where I went to canvass, only this simple observation was made to me—" You are Lord Durham's brother, and that is enough."—(Cheers.) My noble relative hopes I shall follow in his footsteps. Why, yes, I shall.—(Cheers.) I shall follow in-hie fsot steps ; and though it must be at an immense distance, yet will I follow him—for even in that distance I shall see him from afar; or should it hide his person from my sight, still the flag of liberty, which will ever wave aver his head, will serve to show me where he was, and to guide and cheer me on my path.—(Applause.) He has told you also, that he trusts I shall not be annoyed By his recommending my constituents to observe my con duct, and scrutinize my votes. Gentlemen, I court the most rigid examination of my conduct ; and so far from my being annoyed by his suggestion, I am delighted at it ; for every word that fails from his lips is the counsel of one whom I most fondly cherish and admire.—(Cheers.) I entreat the keenest examination of my conduct. To abstain from that would, on your part, be a dereliction of your duty ; and I hope that, now coming here, after the first session of the Reformed Par liament, to receive your verdict, that will tell me I have done my duty.—(Cheers.) I think if you call to your recollection the votes I have given, you will find I am one who thinks for himself.—(Cheers.) I voted with the Government when I thought them right, and against them when I thought them wrong.--(Cheers.) Having, io another part of the county, explained my Parliamentary conduct to a numerous assemblage of my constituents, and defended the important and beneficial measures intro duced in the first session of the Reformed Parliament, I think it is unnecessary to do so again on this occasion ; and I should now sit down, if I load not been intrusted with the important toast which I am about to propose to you—that of " Prosperity to our Commercial and Ship ping Interests"—a toast so important that, as one of your representatives, I feel it my duty to introduce it—and I trust you will bear with me for a few seconds while I do so—with one or two observations.—(Cheers.) I assure you that there is no portion of my constituents whom I feel I can meet with greater pleasure, satisfaction, and confidence, than my constituents in Sunderland ; for I do say, that great and important as may have been the measures relative to other interests that were in troduced to Parliament during the last session, that Reformed Parliament paid peculiar attention to the shipping interest.—(Cheers.) I will not dwell upon minor paints, but recall to your recollection the labours of the Committee to which Mr. Featherston has alluded, and which, as it was its anxious wish and duty to do, paid most particular attention to the promotion of the inte rests of the I3ritish shipowner.—(Cheers.) I will only remark, that while the inquiries of that Committee proved the distressed state of British shipping, it was some conso lation to find that the least distressed, or rather the most prosperous port in the empire was Sunderland ; it had more ships built, more men employed, and its commerce was greater.—(Cheers.) But the best proof of the attention which Parliament paid to the shipping and commercial interests, is the opening of the China trade and the communication with India.—(Cheers.) You may rest assured that the opening out of new channels to our manufacturing industry and commercial enterprise, is the only way to promote the interests of our shipping; and that this cannot be done by telling other nations, which possess great wealth, great intelligence, and great maritime advantages, that they shall not carry on their commercial transactions themselves.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It is as utterly impossible as to prevent the tide flowing into the mouth of the Wear, or to com pel the sun to stand still.—(Cheers.) It may, perhaps, be deemed unnecessary to introduce these topics here ; but, as one of your representatives, 1 will always speak my opinions in the presence of my constituents ; and I say that the prosperity of British commerce and British shipping is to be found in great fields of competition with foreign countries.—(Hear, hear.) I would fain ask if, in those fields of competition, we fiud it impossible to compete with other countries, whose fault, or rather, whose crime, is that? Is it not rather the crime of Toryism than of Liberalism?.—(Loud cheers.) Did not the horoughmongering system give us the greater portion of our debt? Is not our enormous taxation required to pay the interest of that debt ? And is it not that taxation which causes those high prices which prevent that equal competition ?—(Cheers.) I am delighted to see the ap probationwhieh has followed that observation ; and I cannot help expressing nay surprise, that while this, to me, appears evident, many of the shipowners of the country strangely and unaccountably fly for counsel and pray for support— to whom ? Why to those very Tories whose system has brought those evils upon them.—(Cheers and laughter.) But this is a great anti comprehensive question which I am aware cannot be properly discussed here ; and I will dismiss it with the assurance, that my wish, hope, and anxious and ardent prayer is, that the film will shortly I be removed from before the eyes of those mistaken individuals, and that they wiil ba convinced that that same Toryism which has inflicted so many evils upon the country—which we almost destroyed by the Reform Bill—and which we will quite destroy by the corporation reform—is the great and only cause of preventing British shipping and commerce from competing with foreign nations. —(Loud cheers.) Mr. Lambton concluded by giving the toast he had announced, and sat down amidst universal applause. Mr. BELL proposed "The Duke of Cleveland." Captain llowLey proposed " The Members for the Southern Division"—remarking, that while they sat in Parliament, the people were sure of having at least one "friend" in the House of Commons.—(A laugh.) Mr. CAY proposed "The Magistrates of the County ;" and Mr. FAWCETT returned thanks. - " 0 Fortunati ! " Ninaium sua si bona norint - The Rev. Mr. GRANT rose to propose the next toast, and was received with gratifying marks of respect, which he assured the company he should not forget. He said— I have both pleasure and pride in proposing the toast assigned to me. After the ardent and enthusiastic welcome which you have given to the Noble Earl, and to your Honourable Representative, to whom I have listened with so much delight, I am sure you will not extend a less cordial recep:ion to the toast I have to propose to you— which is the health of those of the family of our Noble Guest, who ate necessarily absent from this meeting, and who are most nearly, most intimately, and most dearly allied to him.—(Cheers.) The duty I have taken upon myself to perform is not only most grateful to myself but will be most agreeable to your own feelings, as it will afford you another opportunity of expressing our respect and attachment to the family of the Noble Earl.— (Cheers.) It is one, moreover, which I find very easy to perform ; for in addition to the claims Lady Durham has upon our regard, as the amiable consort of our Noble Guest, I trust that, in Sunderland at least, we shall never forget that she is the daughter of Earl Grey.—(Cheers.) After the high and just encomiums which have been passed upon the private and public character of that Noble Lord, I will not take up your time further than to say, that his name is one for which I shall always entertain the highest veneration. I feel towards that Noble Lord almost a sentiment of personal gratitude; for I cannot look back to that period of youth, when the generous sentiments of our nature dwell most abundantly in our bosoms, without rernembering, that to th e examp l e o f hi s sp l en did exer ti ons in the cause of civil and religious liberty, I owe my attachment to those principles from which I shall never swerve.—(Cheers.) It was the trumpet of his eloquence that first roused me to that cause ; and I trust I shall never desert the standard on which civil and religious liberty is inscribed.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to give " The health of Lady Durham and the amiable family at Larnbton Castle ;" and in doing so designated her Ladyship as one who not only largely shared the public spirit which distinguished the noble families to whom she was so closely allied, but who added • (Laughter and Cheers.) But there is another ground which greatly recommends the toast to your favourable consideration. I have the pleasure and happiness of telling you, that the Mayor and Corporation of Durham have this day conferred upon a noble and illustrious relative of mine the freedom of that town.—(Cheers.) A freeman myself of the city of Durham, I cannot but rejoice that we have identified ourselves with that noble and illustrious man; and having seen the address pre sented to him on the occasion, lam enabled to say that the distinction was awarded to him on grounds which induced him to accept it with the most perfect readiness, arid which did honour to the Corporation —the grounds upon which they tendered him their freedom being his Ore it services in the cause of reform.—(Loud cheers.) Fur all these considerations, I call upon you to join with me in drinking " the ➢layor and Corporarion of Durham." Tile toast was received with three times three and loud plaudits. Mr. YOUNG (the Mayor) on rising to return thanks, was received with considerable cheering. He said he was very grateful for: the high and distinguished honour which had been conferred upon the Corporation of Durham and himself; and more particularly to the Noble Lord for the friendly, indulgent, and generous manner in which he had introduced them to the notice of the company. He trusted their future conduct would justify the good opinion which had been so kindly expressed towaids them. Whether they might long exist as a Corporation or not feinted el he did not know. H e b a d t h at morn i ng received an inti• mation that the Commissioners of Inquiry into Municipal Corporations w o uld v i s it Durham next Monday.
