WEEKLY RETROSPECT. If the past seven days were to be considered solely as a Week of EVENTS, the record might be summed up in a paragraph ; but if it has not been pregnant with facts, it has given birth to OPINIONS, so numerous and so diversified as to de serve a progressive developement. 'Midst the jar gon of political parties, it was pleasing to contem plate the unanimity of Christian. benevolence, at the Meeting of the Educational Clothing So ciety, at the Mansion-house, a degree . ef tranquil discussion, most unhappily contrasted by the con-- fusion of the Oxeolto Address Meeting, which, from the encouragement of a very broad hint as to the rights of " non-freeholders," afforded a very clear, though not very consoling specimen of what might be expected from Universal Suffrage —that is, just as long as Universal Suffrage should fail to produce its certain ultimate result of paralyzing all the energies of the moderate and well.meaning in all classes of Society, of ren dering that which can be enjoyed by all of no apparent or exclusive value, and of throwing the direction of public affairs into the hands of a Junto in each district, until our Elections, instead of displaying the independent, though noisy, manoeuvres of party, would dwindle into some thing like the well known " Caucus" of Ameri can politics, which enables the Antifederalists to' carry every Election individually, though in the aggregate their representatives have not yet been able totally to overturn the federal system. With the Royal Speech, not even the OPPO SITION could find fault, except in regard to its supposed omission of Agricultural Distress! But what can the -Legislature do in this case ? It is agreed that new Laws are more likely to do harm than good. To afford grants or bonusses to the Agricultural, must be at the expence of all the other classes. Even to repeal all the Taxes which may bear direct upon Agriculture, will only require new taxes in other quarters as little able to bear them ; for is remains yet to be shewn that even a reduction of one million in annual ex pence is really in the power of Government-. Be sides the reduction of a Tax is not the certain and absolute reduction of an evil ! Surely nobody can have forgotten the taking off the war malt tax of taco millions and a half—yet what was the con sequence? Did the poor malt get his pint of porter ane farthing better or one farthing cheaper? o ! certainly not ! Then who was relieved ? The BREWERS !—a class amongst whom we have so many PATRIOTS! But this reminds us of a very important fact, that amidst all the Agricultural distress, the in - habitants of LONDON and its ENVIRONS—a full seventh of the English population —pay now as dear for all the necessaries of life, as they did before the Agricultural distress was ever spoken of!—There must be large profits somewhere; and in these the farmers-would participate under a better system. But that system does not rest with 'MINISTERS! One Agricultural advocate, in deed, tells us that the " Agriculturists cannot find bread to eat"—a very strange circumstance when their complaints arose from the fulness of their own barns—but we shall hint to that advo cate that a reduction of rents will do much, and that a Reduction of Farms will do much more, making Industry part of the fanning capital, in stead of being, as now, part of the farming ex peaces, enabling every specks of land to be cul tivated at less expence, and ultimately reducing the POOll 7 l RATES ! But a new Panacea has been found for all our privations in the restoration, or rather the insertion of the QUEEN'S name in the Liturgy ! How that is to operate we are not told, except that it is " to put a stop to all agitated feelings ;" and, consequently, to the numerous meetings by which the course of industry and of labour has been so much interrupted. That such has been the case is evident from the numerous Addresses to Parliament upon that subject; and we can have no doubt that many of the Addressers would have been more usefully employed at their looms and their lapstones, than iu investigating the merits of the Liturgy. To have a right of Address and Petition is one thing: but to have the capacity of exercising that right so as to influence the National Councils is another. As for the " Hammerinen" of PERTH, and the " Journeymen" of DUMFRIES, they are no doubt very respectable in their way ; but what Presbyterians of that class in Society can know about the Liturgy of the Church of Eng land, is a matter not so easily understood. Let us suppose that the " operative sawyers" of Lon- Oh and -Westminster were to present au address respecting the internal management of a Brew ery in Chiswell-street ; or that the "Ship caulk ers" of Redriff were to march in procession to COVENTR:Y to lecture upon ribbon weaving ! what would be the replies to such meddling inter ference ? why! to keep their cross cuts for their own sasvpits ; and to caulk and pay their own seams at home, without dipping their tar brushes in other peoples buckets ! Yet these are the people whose opinions are to weigh against the recorded opinions in the Gazette addresses emanating from almost all the wealth, all the property, and all the real learning and knowledge of the nation ! It is indeed the fashion —.fox the WHIGS to affirm, not only that they have _7 got all.. the talent themselves, but also nine-tenths A d the, public opinion on their side ; and such as s - ;i6M-tions, if not contradicted in time, might have their undue effect and force : but they must be met by flat denial ; for no other mode is left, the WHIGS having shewn themselves, even in the past week, capable of standing up with unblush ing fronts to misunderstand, misrepresent, and to misapply a word which we cannot even call un guarded—but we are sick of the " farce," and there we leave them. I, G. N. GRAND DINNER IN CELEBRATION (IF THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MAJESTY'S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE. Yesterday a numerous and unprecedentedly respectable company dined at the City of Lon don Tavern, in commemoration of this event, so truly interesting to every loyal and constitutional feeling of Englishmen. The demand for tickets was beyond all former_ example great, and the splendid and commodious room of this Tavern was found but ill-calculated to accommodate the numerous applicants, and consequently an im mense number of 'Gentlemen were disappointed in their endeavours to 'obtain tickets. Amongst the company present we distinguished the fol lowing John Plumer, M P., E. J. Collett , M Direct, M.P. J. Mansfield, M.P., M. Cheere, Gemetal Browne, B. Bar nard, Esq., A. Chapman, Esq., Sheriff of Dublin, Alderman Derley, Recorder of Dublin, John Hall, Esq. Chairman of the Committee, Chevalier Mollevo, Chevalier Mollevo, jun. Lieut. Gen. Hart. M.P., Charles Barclay, Esq., Robert West ley Hall, Esq. Sl!erill . of Essex, F. Dighton, Esq., J. Nicholl, Esq., W. Thompson, M.P., Sir Walter Stirling, Alderman Bothwell, Alderman C. Smith, Alderman Birch, Alderman Scholey, Sir Robert 'A'igrain. 'l'. Ellis, M.P , Alderman It. Shaw, M.P., Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir Wm. Curtis, M.P. Chairman, Alderman Sir Charles Flower, Alderman Atkins, Alderman Heygate, M.P., Alderman Magnay, Sir H. Wright Wilson, M.P., Thomas Wilson, M.P., Sir F.Ommaney, M.P., Brice l'earse, W. Curtis, T. Mellish, T. A. Curtis, James Curtis, J. Shore, 0. Hatch, - Brooks, - Hartshorne, N. Gould,-----Jackson, Esquires, Col....Johnstone, &c. &c. The presence of the Lord Mayor and other Members of the Corporation of Dublin contri buted greatly to add to the splendour and inte rest of this gratifying occasion, and their arrival at the door of the tavern was hailed by the en thusiaAic acclamations of an immense crowd, who were assembled to obtain a Niew of these distinguished guests. Long before the appointed hour every seat was occupied, by an assembly of Gentlemen unequalled in respectability and eminent for wealth. At half past six o'clock Sir - W. CURTIS took the Chair, amidst the reiterated acclamations of the company. The dinner was worthy of the important occasion which gave rise to it, and consisted of every delicacy and laxury that the season affords. After the cloth was withdrawn, Non Nobis Damine was sung by the professional gentlemen, amongst whom, in the liberal spirit with which this entertainment was conducted, were com prised all the most popular talents of the day. The worthy Baronet then rose. He said, he was about to propose a toast, which, he felt the most perfect confidence, would meet with the most enthusiastic and ardent acquiescence of the company. He regretted that he should be the organ, although lie felt at the same time a plea sure in being so, of bringing to their attention the name of an individual, the mere mention of whom was sufficient to excite the most powerful feelings of loyalty and pleasure in the mind of every true Briton. They had met there that day to cele brate an event dear to every loyal mind, and which opened to the country a prospect of un alloyed brightness, in the contemplation of the reign of a Prince, unsurpassed in patriotism, and unequalled in- commanding and eminent talents ; a Prince, who, nurtured by a Father whose virtues and shining qualities had been the cause of unfading and lasting glory to his people, and whose memory would ever be held sacred in the breast of every lover Of his country—he would repeat, then, a Prince who bore evident testimony of his education under so bright an example, which was made manifest by his high Constitutional principles, and by his faithful adherence to the strict letter and princi ple of the Coronation Oath—(Bear, hear !) by'which he considered himself bound in duty to protect the rights and liberties of the subject. In such a state of things, could they do otherwise than rally round a Throne which had been at tacked by blasphemy and sedition, which was almost tottering under the baneful effects of ir religion and contempt for all lawful authority— could they, 11€ would say, refuse to set their faces against such proceedings, and to shew to the country and the world that they were resolved to sacrifice every thing in defence of those dear rights, and that glorious Constitution, which our ancestors had transmitted to us, and which was at once the envy and admiration of the world. He would not detain the company longer, but would propose" The, health of his Majesty King George the Fourth."—Four times four. We totally despair of giving even the most faint idea of the enthusiasm and fervor with which this toast was received. The whole of the company stood up, and by the most ardent acclamations, the waving of handkerchiefs, and every other possible mode, evinced their zeal and sincerity of loyalty. This toast was followed by the national air of God setae the King, which was most ably sung by Messrs. Leete, Hawes, T. Cooke, King, C. Taylor, &c. The worthy CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Royal Family, which was received with the usual demonstrations of loyalty and re spect, and was followed by the glee of Hail Star of Brunswick. Sir 'WILLIAM CURTIS said, he felt how inade quate he was to convey to those gentlemen how dear a gift had been bequeathed to them by their ancestors in the bequest of that Constitution which was the pride and glory of Great Britain. Feeling, in common with every man present, how great a boon had been bestowed on them, he was satisfied of obtaining in this instance their una nimous support. lie could not avoid expressing his opinion on this occasion, when a party in the country, contemptible as to both talents and pro perty, had espoused the cause of disaffection and consequent revolution, that he was, for one, not at all surprised at it, since it was natural to ex pect that the strongest advocates of revolution would be those who had nothing to lose. The Hon. Baronet then gave as a toast—" The Con stitution ;" which was drank with three times three and loud cheers. Glee—Here in cool grot. The CHAIRMAN then gave as a toast—" The two Houses of Parliament, and may they be free in their judgments, and firm in their resolves." A comic song by Mr. Charles Taylor—This is Liberty's. Cause. This was received with loud plaudits and peals of laughter. The CuAlz*Ax rose and observed, that al though they had iu the second toast drank the Royal Family collectively, the name of an Illus trious Individual, who was dear in recollection to all present, had been purposely omitted, in order that he should be identified with that class or or der of men to whom this country was so emi nently indebted. Need he mention the brave British soldiers, who had carried the standard of England so triumphantly over the territories of our enemies ?—(Loud cheers and applause:)—He would therefore give them—" The Duke of York and the Army."—Three times three. and coltinued applause. Glee—How merrily we live that Soldiers be.—Toast—" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—The band struck up the national air of Rule Britannia.—Toast— " Old England, and those who don't like it let them leave it."—Song—,Britain's bulwarks arc her wooden walls. The CHAIRMAN said, he thanked God he had once again the pleasure and high gratification of seeing their honest faces at a meeting of this truly patriotic character.—(Loud cheering.)— There were a number, and far the greater num ber of persons present, who were included in the taunts of the enemies of social order, as bankers and merchants. He was happy and proud to say ahere were many there of the classes of mer chants, bankers, and traders of the City or Lon don, and no doubt most of those present would be happy to -be enrolled amongst those who were most deeply interested in the welfare and pros perity of the great metropolis of the empire, and, he would add, the world.—(Cheers.)—ln this conviction he would give them as a toast---" The City of London and its Commerce."—Glee. The CHAIRMAN observed, that no doubt the meeting would ere this have expected he should have said something of himself, and of his friends in the Corporation. As for himself, he found it was a subject of comparative insignificance com pared with the great cause he had to support that evening. It struck him that it was, how ever, necessary, in passing, to remark, that whilst some malignant minds abroad thought it advisable, for unworthy purposes, to state that this meeting was for a party purpose, he could with confidence assure, not them, for they were beneath the notice of every honest man—(Ap plause)—but the public at large, that they were met for the purpose of celebrating an event dear to their recollection, and also to support the legal and constituted Authorities of every class, however it was to be lamented that they were not unanimous in the support of the same good old cause.—(Cheering and laughter.)—He should, in testimony of the sincerity of this feeling, give " The Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London." Mr. Alderman BIRCH thanked the company most sincerely for the high honour which had been done that body to which he belonged, and from which he regretted that in au evil hour they should have been separated in sentiment. Dan gerous and disastrous had been the innovations and inroads made in society by the poison of se dition and treason disseminated by a flagitious press, and active agents to the very remotest bounds of the empire, which had not stopped short of offering even an insult to the Throne. But there was yet a remnant in the Corporation, small perhaps in number, but bold and true in heart, and in allegiance to their Sovereign and the Constitution of the country. There were men who would be found not backward in the day of trial, who cherished their allegiance as our fore fathers had done of yore, and would be willing to stand by those principles to the death. They were aware that it was not only their duty to stand forward and avow those sentiments at all hazards, but they were determined to act on that resolve, and to act boldly in defence of their opinions, should the circumstances of the times require exertion and sacrifices.—(Hear, hear!) — H e felt it was impossible to treat a subject of this importance in a way which could add to their hilarity or enjoyment—the objects of the meet ing were grave and momentous ; but whilst they could not fail to awaken the most lively interest, they afforded the most sincere subject of congra tulation to the party assembled, and the empire at large. He concluded with drinking the health of the company present and their worthy Chair man. The CHAIRMAN then said, he felt quite inade quate to express the feelings of respect and at tachment which he entertained for the steady con duct of the Gentlemen who had favoured them with their company that evening from the sister Isle ; he meant the Lord Mayor and Deputation of the Corporation of the City of Dublin.— (Hear, hear !)—They happily spoke in their own persons the sense of the people of Ireland, and it was a felicitous omen iu this quarter, that whilst the enemies of social order were but too successfully sowing the seeds of discord and dis affection in our own bosoms, their arts had totally failed in Ireland, the population of which, to a man, had resisted every temptation to unite inany of those Addresses which it was obvious must only tend to embarrass the proceedings of the Le gislature, and compromise their characters by a premature disclosure of their sentiments, pre viously to their having an opportunity of making up their minds on a solemn question of a judicial nature. They had wisely abstained from enter ing with ill-advised zeal into the discussion of a topic which had been productive of but too much irritation on this side of the Channel, and they had reaped the reward of this conduct in the en joyment of an unanimity of feeling, and diffusion of tranquillity throughout the country. He should therefore give them " The health of the Lord Mayor and the Deputation of the Corporation of Dublin, who had honoured them with their corn pany•"—(Three times three, with loud and con tinued cheering, and waving of handkerchiefs.) After the tumult of applause had in some degree subsided, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr. Alderman KING, rose. He hoped the meeting would make allowances for the diffi dence which he felt at rising to address an assemblage which he might with truth de signate the first for enlightened sentiments and distinguished worth in the country. He was happy to say his sentiments were those of the Body he had the honour to represent, and that they were in unison with the political feel. ngs which he had that day avowed with an nna inimity unparalleled. He felt pride in standing forward with that Corporation, as the represen tative of the popular sentiment in the Irish Me tropolis, where at least the Corporation was una nimous in displaying an unshaken and steady at 4achrneint to the Parson and Government of his Most •Oraciofs Majesty, and, - -the glorious Con stitution, whtcli e was despifetf the arts and malignity of its enemies, our boast and our birth-right.—(Loud applause.)—lf he had taken his opinion of the sentiments of the public in this metropolis from the representations of the Radical Press, he never should have calcu- lated on the possible existence of a meeting such as this, either for zeal, wealth, or influ ence. —(llear, hear, hear !) This proved a fact most important in itself, namely, that notwithstanding what had been i❑ some dissatis fied and mortified quarters said to the contrary, that the aggregate feelings of the respectable and enlightened part of the community were perfectly in unison in Ireland and this country, and that eventually both should be considered an united people.--(Applause.)--lle felt not the least doubt from what he had witnessed, that the citi zens of London and Dublin would go hand in hand together in defence of our great national interests, and in defiance of his Majesty's ene mies. In return for the kindness and honour conferred on him, he begged leave to propose the health of their excellent and worthy Chair man.—(Loud applauses.)—The toast was drank with three times three. Sir Wm. CURTIS, in rising to return thanks, said, that his Right Hon. Friend had done him too much honour. He felt his own unworthiness of the high distinction that had been conferred upon him; he had done no more than his duty, no more than any other man would have done. He stood there before them, he would say a loyal man, and he must confess, a proud man—they had made him proud, by having placed him at the head of a company, unequalled in respecta bility, in eminence, and in wealth, by any that had ever assembled upon former occasions. He felt the weight of their kindness in the fullest de gree. He could not stop here ; he had long been distinguished by their notice and favour ; h e was indebted to them, and to those Gentlemen who advocated similar principles, for support and countenance for upwards of 30 years. It was to the loyal citizens of London that he owed every thing ; they had placed him in the most dignified situations, and had, to crown all, elected him to the highly important situation of one of their Representatives in Parliament ; for this he felt more especially grateful, and above all, for their exertions in the last election, when, although a faction, or by whatever name his opponents might be designated,had succeeded in throwing him out for a time, their exertions had proved triumphant in defeating his enemies and theirs, and in electinc , him the seventh time their Representative. Although he could have hardly wished himself to have been again placed in that eminent situation,. he felt a pride in fighting their battles, and though old, he was still tough, and would prove himself to have something of the British oak in his composition; that although old, he was still firm and strong. It had been his pride to have preserved the same line of consistent political conduct during the whole course of his long public life ; and he could justly boast of never having swerved for a moment from any one political principle with which he set out. His satisfaction was the more perfect because he was convinced that those principles, which he had ever thought it his duty to advocate, had saved the country. He had not been exempt from the temptations of persuasion and interest to induce him to quit that consistent line of con duct which he had ever pursued. He was not to be led aside, by any considerations, from what he considered the line of his duty to his Sovereign and his country ; and he could assure them, that, as they had seen in past times that he had re mained unchanged , so he could assure them, that they would find him still the same for tile pre sent, and as long as Providence might suffer him to remain amongst them. This toast was followed by The Sprig of Shit lelah, which was sung in excellent style, and amidst continued applause, by Mr. Charles Taylor. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS then, in an appropriate speech, proposed the health of Mr. Thomas Wil son, M.P. for the City of London. • Mr. WILSON felt himself very ill qualified to perform the important duties which devolved upon him as Member for the City of London, the greatest Metropolis of the Empire.—(Hear, hear!) —He sincerely hoped his constituents would not extend to him that honour longer than he con tinued to uphold the sacred duties of the Con stitution, and the unalloyed expectations of our Holy Religion. Poculuin followed in excellent style. Sir WILLIAm Culms—We have heard of hole and-corner men. I have never been in the habit of doing things in a corner.—(A laugh.)—l am now about to give you a toast which I think you will all agree with—l am about to propose to you one of the greatest men in the metropolis, and, indeed, in the nation ; one of the most ho nourable men in the kingdom, who, with his col leagues, by the magnanimity of their conduct, and by the honesty of their disposition, have sa tisfied the nation that they have only the safety of their country ald the welfare of the people at heart; I mean " Lord Liverpool, and his Col leagues in office."—(Loud cries of hear, hear! mixed with very great applause.) Mr. Speaker, though 'tis lute, followed this toast. The Worthy CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose " the health of the Duke of Wellington, the pride of his friends and the fear of his enemies," ac companied the Noble Duke's name with some very appropriate allusions to the excellent vic tories he had achieved, and the dangerous battles he had been engaged in, with a vein of good hu mour which afforded general satisfaction to the company. Sir W. CURTIS then proposed the health of the Most Noble the Marquis of Huntley, with three. Song—Auld Lang syne. Sir W. CURTIS rose to propose a toast, which he said h. was sure every gentleman would join ' him in most cheerfully. The Press was a most important part of our political economy : but he thought no one would deny that it was necessary • to restrain it within certain bounds, beyond which it became pernicious instead of conferring benefits. Ile would propose " The Lil , rtx . of • the Pres l / 4 without licentiousness."—G I;entekrhen bf.l2;neand.. *l. S Cuttris felk ebnvlncvd ttna everr must have been highly graVikl by the exertions'-3 which had be e n use d t o l a y before them so mag nificent a banquet, and to afford them such ex cellent accommodation. Ile would say more, that the splendour of the present meeting was owing to the Stewards, whose zeal had operated to bring about this festival. lie would propose the health of Mr. J. Hall and the Stewards. Mr. HALL returned thanks. He felt grateful on behalf of himself and the Stewards for the Ilatte ring notice they had taken of him. He could say, with out boast, that he had ever considered it his duty to put himself forward, whenever he.; thought he might be useful in promoting any . goodca use or use- . ful object. As the toast had connected him with his fellow Stewards, and had reference to their exertions for the entertainment of the company, his brother Stewards and himself could not help regretting that so many gentlemen were disap pointed in their endeavours to obtain tickets. This was not less disappointing to the Stewards than to those gentlemen who were unable to be accommodated. There was one other subject to which he must call the attenti Jil of the company ; it was the circumstance that this meeting might be considered as the example of a number of other meetings in different parts of this kingdom, to celebrate this interesting event. He would therefore propose, as a toast—" Those Gentlemen who are met to-day to celebrate his Majesty' Accession." The LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN here rose, aryl said, that he could not depart without expressing his great obligations to the Stewards for haying, by their invitation, procured him the enjoyment of the happiest evening of his life. Ilis Lordship now proceeded to leave the room, amidst the universal acclamations o f t h e company. Ile was accompanied by several of the principal gentlemen present ; but Sir Wm. Cur tis remained firm to his seat, and by.his continued and inexhaustible good humour protracted the pleasures of the evening until a very late hour, when we left the company enjoying the inter mixture of good cheer, excellent singing, ant pleasant company, with as little determinatiou to quit as if they had just commenced. Previous to Sir W. CURTIS leaving the Chair, Mr. McartAY rose, and suggested to the Com pany, that as the proceedings of the evening- were drawing to a close, and had ended so mach to the satisfaction of every one present, he could not quietly depart without expressing his feeling.; by way of a toast; he therefore proposed—" Our next merry meeting, and may the commemoration of this event be annual and permanent."--This toast was received with acchunations by the com pany. - The room was most tastefully fitted up for the occasion. Over the Chairman, at the east end of the room, was fixed a very elegant vuriegated crown, intermixed with laurel, and surrounded by a brilliant wreath, representing the Combined emblems, the shamrock, the rose, and thistle.— Beneath this, in transparent splendour, were sus pended the initiels G. It., carefully blended with some variegated lamps. The orchestra was sup plied with an excellent band. To the interest usually excited by the draw ing of a Lottery, a considerable share will be attached to the present, as, independently of the wish which adventurers zna,t naturally have for the chance of the Six tt21,000 Prizes, theatteu tion of every body will, no doubt, be called to the numbers which will obtain the Three Prizes of -1 7 2 ; 000, that will be drawn on Valentine's Day, and which the Contractors give away. The very great satisfaction the plan adopted iu former Lotteries gave to persons residing ill the country, has induced 'l'. 131sll to repeat it in the present ; and he hopes he has, as in a very re cent Lottery, selected some of the Six 1)21,00U, or other Capit a l s , among t h ose numbers adver tised : the following Numbers may be had either in Whole Tickets, Halves, Quarters, Eighths, or Sixteenths, at his Offices, 4, Cornhill, or 9 Charing-Cross : ._ No. '.20:;3 No. 9.60 I Nu. 3G No. 155 1 No. 1569' 20 •1 996 37 1341 I 1870 203 5 1159 1 40 1345 1835 2122 1166 1 33 I 1881 1912 9174 1167 72 ) 1911 'Nu. 549 2121 1301 76 !N0.606 550 2175 I ISO 2 I 514 956 j 610 The Lottery begins on Valentine's Day, I.lth of February, on which day the Public are sure of getting Three Prizes of ~e`2,000 Consols, for nothing, and the chance of the other Capitals drawn that day, for a mere trifle ; as the Hold ers of those fortunate Tickets will each have an undrawn Ticket presented them, (xhich at least wit/ cost as inueh as their purchase moneN,) and by which they may afterwards get Three of k. 2 !
