But you will find this to be only one of the several delusions which were indus triously practised on'these poor people—a delusion, in point of fact, as you have seen, and a delusion in point of law, as I will show hereafter. Mr. O'Connell has corrected the report of having used the term " ruffian soldiery." It is plain from that ho read the report of that speech ; but we do not find any retractation on that occasion of the other parts of his speech ? Not one, with that single ex ception. We new come to the report of the Drogheda meet ing, which took place on the 6th June, as reported in the Pilot newspaper, in which there is given the usual account of the meeting, the bands, the banners, and the military organisa tion; next Mr. O'Connell addressed the meeting. You will observe, that the speeches at the great meetings are, generally a Soli c itor - General considerably thent h a than readthose s l)eak delivered t in h g e spee o f e a h a e t s theof more "g ß a.t a e r d r ( et Tc t hhare and Mr. Steele at the Drogheda dinner. At the conclusion of the last speech Mr. Steele bowed very gracefully.) Yea, gentlemen, (continued the Learned Gentleman), Mr. Steele never disguised his senti ments on this or any other occasion. I have known him for many years, and have respected and honored his candour. He said, on the occasion referred to, that if any emergency should arise, he hoped Mr. O'Connell would place him in some prominent position. Mr. Steele—Just so.— ( Laughter. ) SOLICITOR-GENERAL—W e have included Mr. Steele in the indictment, for we thought it improper that a gentleman who had taken so prominent a part in the great movement should be omitted. I have read his speech at Drogheda namely for the purpose of showing that he sanctioned all that took place. I now come to a document which appeared in the Nation of the 13th of June, 1843. It is entitled " Morality of War." The Learned Counsel having read the article, said, that as the next document which he had to advert to was one of very great importance, and one in which he should comment at some length, he respectfully suggested an ad journment. SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS, WITH THE DISPATCH. In consequence of the immense demand for the DISPATCH and SUPPLEMENT of Sunday last, containing a full Report of Mr. Shell's most brilliant Speech, the Proprietors of the Dispatch, apprehensive that numbers of persons, who may be desirous of obtaining copies of ,their . Journal, may be disappointed, unless provision be made to meet such demand, have' printed a great number of extra papers to--keep on. sale ; and as, when these are disposed of, others will not be obtainable, an early application is suggested, as the Supplement which accom panied the Dispatch of February 4, will be necessary to bind with those Supplements that are to follow ; so that when the great national trial is concluded a perfect history of the affair (Including a biographical sketch of Mr. O'Connell), which may be bound, or otherwise preserved as . a matter of reference, will be- itr the possession of every purchaser of this Journal, the proprietors of which, anxious to render the account perfect, will present (gratis) a Supplement each Sunday during the progress of the trial, and another at the conclusion, containing all the proceedings up to the Supplement given on Sunday last. That of Sunday next will be comprised lir 48 columns, the same size as the Dispatch, -and contain a verbatim report of the most eloquent speeches of Mr. Whiteside and of Mr. O'Connell. QUEEN'S BENCH.-DUBLIN, TUESDAY. THE 'QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. The Court set at the usual hour, but. little interest was exhi bited to hear the reply a the Solicitor-General. On the jury taking he their soLi c p x l NZ : GENERAL commenced his address and said, —I am called to stand single-handed and alone—and the con sequence of knowing how much your verdict may affect the law of the land, the peace and tranquillity, and the happiness of this country—all those considerations might well appal a person far more competent than I am, either in mind or body. You have sworn by the most solemn of all obligations to find a verdict in this case according to the evidence, unaffected by any other considerations, political, sectarian, or religious—unaffected by fear, favour, or affection—uninfluenced by any ether consi derations than the truth and justice of the case. I ask for your ‘ verdict, n o t by a pp ea ling to your passions or to your prejudices, but by calling on you, as honest and intelligent men, to exercise your sound judg ment in giving your verdict —and if you cannot give me your verdict upon the fair exercise of that judgment on the facts, as given in evidence, I shall not seek it at your hands. I think I shall present this case to you in such a light as will relieve you from the slightest possible difficulty as to the course you should pursue—so that, in the eyes of every honest and fair man in the country-vow-wilt-'--be justified in giving the verdict I con fidently anticipate from you. Ours is a plain, straightforward, and just case ; it needs nothing less than the mere exercise of sound judgment and an honest heart to arrive at a proper conclusion respecting it. There has, however, been so much misrepresentation, both in point of law and in point of fact—so many irrelevant and extraneous topics have beers in troduced—so much obscurity and confusion have been heaped upon the case. by the ingenuity, learning, and tho talents of the various gentlemen who have addressed you, that, before I can hope to make the case for the prosecution intel ligible, it will be necessary for me to divest the case of many, I may say all, of those topics which do not properly belong to it, and which could have been introduced for no other reason than to divert your attention from the real question you have to try. You have had no less than eight addresses on the part of the several traversers. Many of those have been not only different, but inconsistent. In one respect, however, there is a marvellous coincidence among them all, and that is the total absence of any, the slightest comment—l may say of the least reference to the evidence in the case. My Learned Friend, Mr. Shell, has not often favoured us in this Court by a display of his splendid talents--his visits have been few and far be tween. This was considered an occasion on which some thing extraordinary should be resorted to, and accordingly Mr. Shell has, on the part of Mr. John O'Connell, addressed you—he must pardon me for saying, not on the case, but on various extraneous matters to which it will be necessary for me to advert. He appeared as Counsel for Mr. John O'Con nell and he certainly delighted us by one of the most splendid exhibitions of eloquence; the execution was beautiful, brilliant, elaborate—but the matter very meagre indeed. In short, he threw the case of his client overboard. My Learned Friend the Attorney-General was actually called the " artful dodger of the State." I forget the other phrase that was applied to him, but they all meant just this, that the Crown and the Government had lite rally seduced those people into the commission of crime, and after they had been suffered to go on, day after day, week after week, they (the Government) suddenly come down on them and tell them they have violated the law. Why, it is monstrous to set up an allegation of that kind on the question of the guilt or innocence of the parties? Be fore I proceed further to the topics which Mr. Shell in. trodueed, I think it right to divest your minds of an ap prehension which has been sedulously attempted to be raised in them as to who it is that we are prosecuting. You have heard over and ever again that this is an indict ment against the people of Ireland—an indictment for the purpose of putting down free discusion, and extinguishing the right of petitioning, introducing a sort of arbitrary control over the constitutional exercise of legal rights. Gentlemen of the jury, allow me to say that this is a prosecution not against i t s i l e lo p t e a op p l r e os o ec f u lreland forgains against the th o exercise t o u f their l n ateand eg d a e l lu ri d g e h d ts—i peo ple who have attended monster meetings , at the instance of the traversers—they are net the persons prosecuted. No, it would have been more just, more fair, and more true to say that this is a prosecution against the traversers. It is my conviction that a verdict which would have the effect of stopping the proceed ings of which so many unfortunate people have become victims would be the most favourable that could happen with respect to them, so far as their amelioration is concerned. It is said we are prosecuting for the purpose of putting an end to free discussion. We are not prosecuting persons for entertaining any political or religious views, and I avow at once that every one of the traversers have the fullest right to express, in a constitutional and legal manner, his opinions on any public piestion—nay, more, to use his best exertions, if he thinks his opinions right, to propagate them, to have them entertained as far as possible by all persons in the community, and to use all legitimate and proper means to accomplish his purpose. But I deny the right of any persons to attempt to bring about an object by the means which are charged in this indictment, and to which I shall presently more par icularir direct your atten tion. Is this a prosecution against the liberty of the press? .It is true there are included in this indictment three gen- WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAIN MENTS, MUSIC-HALL, STORE-STREET, BEDFORD-SQUARE.

THE INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS. JUBILEE FESTIVAL. Yesterday the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the Morning Advertiser was celebrated at the London Tavern, by the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers, in a style of magnificence and splendour, and with a degree of fervour and enthusiasm perhaps unequalled, but decidedly unsurpassed, by any previous event in the annals of this or any other charitable institution in the empire. Upwards of nine hundred members of the Society assembled on this auspicious and gratifying occassion, to commemorate the establishment of a journal which (it may be said without egotism) more than any other newspaper in the universe, has been characterised by a consistent, undeviating and un flinching adherence to the advocacy of popular rights and the obtainment of what should be the end and object of all public organs and institutions, as well as of all Governments— " the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number." If anything were wanting to complete the measure of success which has attended the career of the Morning Advertiser, it was to be found yesterday, in the troops of healthy looking, well-dressed, happy children, supported and edu cated by its profits, who were brought from the Institution, and produced before their benevolent and kind-hearted patrons„ the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers—.a class of men whose monuments of charity will remain as imperishable as the Divine precepts on which they are founded, not only by reaon of the good works they have themselves performed, but by the noble and stimulating example which they have so successfully set to all the other trades of the metropolis, and who beheld with proud, but unostentatious satisfaction, the gratifying spectacle which the helpless objects of their solicitous regard presented. To wards the fulfilment of this grand object, it was certainly necessary that success in trade should have attended the individual exertions of the 'majority of this Society, and if a well-dressed, and well-conducted, though unselected, assem blage of its members be any proof of their prosperity—or if an elegant and accomplished array of beauty—composed of their wives, and sisters, and daughters, who occupied the spacious gallery of the dining-room, and evinced the most cordial appreciation of the occasion, bespeaks the en joyment of "happy homes," a more enviable body of men— notwithstanding all the petty annoyances to which they are occasionally subjected in the exercise of their vocation by " the powers that be"—could not easily be met with. It is unnecessary to say that amongst the most prominent mem bers of the trade present on the occasion were to be found all the past Chairmen and Governors of the Incorporated So ciety, as well as the Chairmen of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, an institution which can never be forgotten or over looked so long as the Cardinal virtues find a place in the human breast. The Governor of the Incorporated Society (Mr. Keasley) presided at the banquet, supported by Mr. Corby, Mr. Wells, Mr. Reader, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Brvon, and Mr. Walter, past governors ; and Mr. Bruce, Mr. Ward, Mr. Cox, Mr. Poore, and Mr. Grover, past chairmen-of the Society. Opposite the Chairman sat Dr. Sheridan, the editor of the Morning Adver tiser. Mr. Blake, the active and indeffitigable Secretary of the Society, and Messrs. Wire and Childs, the solicitors; Mr. Bleaden, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Larby, Mr. Float, Mr. Adams, Mr. Stennett, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Homer, Mr. Vousley, Mr. Wright, Mr. Wilson, !and a host of the most intelli gent and influential members of the trade, were also present. It would be an almost endless occupation of space to enumerate all the warm friends of the Institu tion who attended on this joyous occasion, and it is hoped that no invidious feeling will be attributed to the selection of these names, most of whom, indeed all, have re commended themselves to a lasting record, by their eminent services in the cause- of the charity. Mr. Bryon, past governor, presided over a large company in the second dining-room during dinner, and greatly contributed to the evening's enjoyment. In' a conspicuous part of the room was placed the portrait of Mr. Wright, known as the father of the Society, and the chief founder of the In stitution ; and, as a fit companion to it, the portrait of Mr. Brown, whose exertions in behalf of the Society, when in its infancy, will long be remembered with gratitude by its mem bers and the recipients of its bounty. This gentleman still happily lives to witness the blessed fruits of his benevolent services and those of his early associates, and would have been present to participate in the festivities of the Jubilee, but for an unforeseen circumstance which prevented his at tendance. A select corps of glee and song singers, combin ing some of the most distinguished vocalists of the metropo lis, were engaged for the occasion, and added considerably to the entertainments of the evening by their spirited per formances. The dinner was a superb one, and it is sufficient praise to say was got up in the peculiar and magnificent style of the London Tavern. Besides the grand dining room, every other available portion of space in the house was devoted to the entertainment of the guests, who having come determined to enjoy the occasion, willingly made mu tual sacrifices of accommodation in order to preserve the most perfect harmony and good humour, which prevailed throughout the entire evening. The usual toasts having been given, The GOVERNOR said the next toast was " The Incorpo rated Society of Licensed Victuallers, and prosperity to the Morning Advertiser." The toast was received with enthusiastic plaudits. At this moment the children of the Licensed Vicouallers' School were introduced into the principal room, under the auspices of Mr. Ireland and Mr. Brown, members of the Committee, and were by them arranged along the top and side tables. Upon all occasions when these interesting objects of the paternal solicitude of the Licensed Victuallers of London have been introduced into the presence of their benefactors, their healthy and happy appearance has been the theme of every tongue. It seemed, however, as if the peculiar circumstances which called together the present assembly heightened materially the interest usually asso ciated with these children, for, as they passed along, the general observation made by the company was, that they were a credit to the trade, no badge of charity marking them out as objects for heartlessness to point its " slow, unmoving finger" at. The two senior boys having been placed in front of the chair, they proceeded to recite an exquisite and most appropriate address, composed by J. F. Blake, Esq., the Secretary of the Society, and for the ad mirable execution of which the boys obtained the enthu siastic approbation of the company. The following is the address : Trace yon broad river to its source. At first A feeble streamlet, 'mid the mountains nurst, In silence glides the unambitious rill ; But gathering strength, as on and onward still Its deepening waters move, anon they pour Down the vast cataract with deafening roar, Till, every rocky obstacle o'erpast, Th' exulting flood flows proudly on at last, Spreads, as it flows, fertility and health, And bears upon its breast a nation's wealth. Even thus, your noble INSTITUTION'S course, Though CHARITY'S pure fountain was its source, Was slow, at first ; but, as it onward sped, Wide and more wide its ample current spread, And still rushed forward with resistless strength, Till, all impediments subdued at length,. With Heaven's own smile its healing waters glowed, And scattered countless blessings as they flowed. And still these blessings are profusely shed On many a youthful, many an aged head, And have, through half a century, been showered, Where destitution's darksome clouds have lowered. Yes ! Fifty rolling years have passed away, Since first your valued Journal saw the day. And has it not, through all its long career, Soothed the sad heart and dried affliction's tear ? Ask ofithe hundreds who, when bowed with grief, And age, and want, find permanent relief, And share its bounty each revolving week, And let their gratitude the answer speak. Ask of all those who, broken down in trade, Receive its welcome temporary aid, And ask of us, the children of your care, Who every hour its boundless 'blessings share. Oh I must mot every heart and every tongue, The widow bent with years—the orphaned young— All, all unite, with undivided aim, To bless the Morning Advertiser's name, And all, with hearts elate, rejoice to see This great, this glorious day of Jubilee I The girls then sung a beautiful hymn, which was ala composed by Mr. Blake. Mr. BLAKE read a Report, having reference to the esta blishment of the Morning Advertiser newspaper, and the charities identified with it, from which we select the follow ing : "Fifty years having this day elapsed since the first publica tion of the Morning Advertiser—the great instrument of the extensive benefits that have emanated from the Society of Licensed Victnallers—the Governor and Committee experi ence the most heartfelt pleasure in congratulating the mem bers on the arrival of the Society's Jubilee, and in being en abled to - state, that. during the entire progress cf the first half century of its existence, the Society has been steadily increasing in numbers, respectability, and importance, and is at the present time justly entitled to claim a place in the foremost rank of those numerous charitable institutions which are the proudest boast of this kingdom. " The establishment of the Society originated in the efforts of a few Licensed Victuallers, who, at the latter part of die yerr 1793, projected the publication of a daily newspaper, ESTABLISHED 1821. THE LONDON MARI3LE AND STONE WORKING COMPANY, are enabled, with their PATENT MACHINERY, to execute Chimney Pieces, Monuments, Tablets, Slabs for Furniture, and every description of such Work, with an 'accuracy, rapidity of execution, beauty and durability of Polish, and reduction, of cost, which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by _this Instittt r tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of fhture premiums.

But it is said, why are not the editors of other Liberal journals included in this prosecution; you know that there are proprietors of other newspapers in Dublin and other parts of Ireland, which advocate the same views on the subject of the repeal of the union as those entertained by Dr. Gray, Mr. Barrett, o r M r . D u ff y , b u t th e y are n ot ad • ver ted to in this indictment? Why are they not? Because they have not become the agents or the instruments for carry ing out the designs to which I shall hereafter call your atten • Lion. The charge was that Mr. O'Connell, Dr. Gray, Mr. Duffy, Mr. Barrett, and the other traversers, had illegal Confederacy to effect changes in ethneterzednsitnittnotieann. In a pe popular sense conspiracy might mean secrecy, but a consp irac y , so far as the acts indicated its being formed, might be as open as day ; and suppose a number of tradesmen entered into public resolutions to pre vent others from working below a certain rate of wages, that would constitute a conspira c y. Th e C rown said t hat the traversers had entered into a common and unlawful design, to repeal the union by means of intimidation. The. Crown did not prosecute the millions who assembled at the meetings, but those who made them their instruments, and called them toge ther, in order, by the demonstration of physical force, to inti midate the Legislature. Th e L earne d Gentleman having commented on the monster meetings, and the evidence offered upon them, .proceeded as follows:—The defendants are ar raigned for having each and e ver y one of them co-operated for the purpose, in the first pl ace , o f exc iti n g discontent and dis affection against the Gove rnment an d C on stitution, and oppo sition thereto. Secondly, w i t h h av i ng co nspired to excite ani mosity, ill-will, and ea- i t •ousy, between different classes of the Queen's subjects, and more especially with exciting in the minds of the people of Ireland hostile feelings against their fellow-subjects in England ; w ith h a ving, in the next place, co-operated for the Purpose of crea ting discontent and disaf . fection amongst divers of th e sa id su bj ec ts, and, among others, her Majesty's subjects ser v i ng i n her Majesty's army , &c. The whole machinery of thi s Association W ears to have been constructed with a view to the proceedings of the Volunteers of 1782 ; and you will find that, under the pre text of precedent, the rial design was to form an Association similar to that adopted by the Volunteers of 1782 ; accord ingly the card of - a 10/ , qualification is entitled _by them "the Volunteer Card," and is embellished with the portraits of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Flood, 011 am Fodhla, and King Nathan. The two last names afforded my friend Mr. Whiteside a field for much merriment, and no person was more amused than I was. He called your attention to their names ; but I will call your attention to some names which he omitted. We find here the portraits of Brian Boroihme, wh om and of recollect was the Irish king at the ba ttle of Clontarf, of Sarsfield , whom you may also recolle ct siege of Limerick. Mr. Whiteside is very discreetl y with regard to their names, and those of commanded atsilteneth Roe O Neill you what the duties of the several persons and Hugh O'Neill. Now, I do not pretend who were were the I do not know w hat with these cards may have been ; the Association duties of the bearers, or what the regulations of the whole of the duties of the c on fidential wtoenbe ere ab e l n e tr t u o st l d l of emissariei of this body—ail know is this, that by m e ans them it has been found possible to collect together, at the required them to do, nor do R I ekpenoar.wwardhaetnsw, the the duties, bid ding of one person, any number of persons at any particular place—at any distance, no matter how remote. Always bear in m ßa i n rr d e t t h e e s c d on es c i u g r n re i n n t p ws li k s i h n i g ng o t f h te several ehpoem the age n ts . i,i e m r O y b o s f e e e Dead," Duffy publishes it in the Nation, and Gray in the Freeman, while all the time speeches are being made and meet ings held. The Learned Counsel having read the first and second stanzas, said—now suppose we were to give Mr. Fit 1- gibbon the full benefit of the allegation that what I have read is poetical effusion, indicating commiseration for the unhappy people of the time to w hich it relates, that which follows de mands explanation — The dust of some is Iris h earth ; same the their landown they that rest gave them birth ; Has caught them to her breast; And we will pray t hat fro m their clay Full many a race ma y ou start Of true men, like y men, And Am To act as brave a part. Is this commiseration for the unhappy fate of misguided men ; or is it encouragement to agitators of the present day? The Learned Counsel then read the following They rose in dark and evil days To right their native land ; They kindled here a living blaze That nothing shall withstand. Alas ! that Might can vanquish Right— They fell and passed away ; But true men, .like you, men, Are plenty here to-day. How is that rebellion of 1798, which Mr. O'Connell has been so eloquent in denouncing—imi is it characterized in this effu sion 1 As a struggle of right against might. This effusion is the production of Mr. Duffy, one of the traversers. [He here read many passages from the speeches of Mr. O'Connell. j He then said—l come now to what have been called monster or county meetings. These were concocted by the Association, and took place under the pretence of petitioning the Queen; and I need not tell you that no meeting could be held without some object of the kind. It is the Mullingar meeting which took place on the 14th of May. (The Solicitor-General read from the speech a passage in which O'Connell gloried in hav ing held 25 gigantic meetings in Ulster, Connaught, and Leinster ; and denied that Sir Robert Peel made any declaration in the House of Com mons about her Majes t y s determination to maintain the Union inviolate). You will find an elaborate endeavour on the part of IVIr. O'Connell to represent to the people of this country that the Queen was favourable to his views with respect to the Union, and that she was only prevented from carrying out those views, from the hostility of the English nation and from the opposition of her Ministers. I do not deprecate the loyalty of those poor people—far be it from me, sorry should I be to do so, when the loyalty of those proceedings and the cheers of the people were so strongly dwelt on as evidence of that loyalty ; but when the people were led into the notion that the Queen had the inclination, but she had not the power to accomplish their objects by restoring a native Parliament, can those cheers be wondered at—so that we may attribute those cheers and INCREASED ANNUITIES granted on unwound Lives, the amount varying with the particular disease.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE TAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE, with a view of appropriating a portion of its profits to the relief of their distressed brethren and their widows in sick ness and old age, and also of affording some . assistance to the.• fatherless children and orphans. The plan was carried into effect on the Bth of February in the following year, 1794, on which day the first number of the Morning Advertiser was puLlished, and, during the fifty years that have since passed away, upwards of 13,600 Licensed Victuallers have enrolled their• names as members, and, by their unanimity and per severance, have raised the Society to its present pre-eminent situation. " To exhibit in a few words a general estimate of the ex tensive benefits diffused by the Society of Licensed Vic tuallers, it will be sufficient to state that, from its establis rnent to Christmas last, the sums distributed from its funds for charitable purposes are as follow, viz.:— From the Permanent Fund' - £122,314 16 2 From the Subscription Fund 106,175 5 7 From'. the Charity Box Grand Total £232,660 18 9 The Report was received with loud cheers The CHAIRMAN in the course of his speech said—That the profits of the Morning Advertiser, since I have had the ho nour of being Governor—nine months of that time having been audited—compared with the corresponding nine months last year, show an increase to the amount 'of near 600/. The SECRETARY then read the list of subscriptions, which, he said, exceeded 3,000/. for the past year. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and the Corporation of the City of London."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. D. WIRE said his friend Mr. - Low, the only other member of the Corporation present, had requested him to return thanks for the honour conferred upon the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Corporation. He did so with the utmost plea sure, for it was impossible for any person to be present on this most interesting occasion without being deeply inte rested in the progress and present state of this Institution.— ' (Hear, hear.) This day they met to celebrate its anniver sary—it had passed over the first fifty years of its existence, and gathered strength with its age, and diffused great and varied blessings amongst society at large.—(Loud cheer ing.) Other institutions, although dignified by age and venerable for their antiquity, failed to show such claims as that whose jubilee they were now celebrating. Its beginning was amongst the humble and the despised—those who formerly had been dragged at the car of aristocracy, or trampled under foot by the despot. But its founders were actuated by true benevolence, sustained by charity, and blessed by Heaven—hence their exertions were energetic, continuous, and sanctified by Heaven. He could picture to himself the long train of the recipients of their bounty, as they passed in review before them—the aged, the decrepid, the homeless wanderer—they had been taken from misery—from want—from the curse of forced provision and the horrors of a workhouse—and placed in the house where comfort, peace, and plenty reigned. The younghad been rescued from igno rance—from vice—from criminality—and trained up to be come virtuous members of society, and in their turn benefac tors to mankind.—(Cheers.) How many desolate homes had been cheered and made happy—how many orphans' tears had beets dried—and how many widows hearts had been made to sing for joy !—(Raptures of applause.) When they thought of these things and remembered the good they had effected, their hearts ought to be glad, and they should lift up their souls in praise to Him who gave them all, and above and beyond other things, hearts to feel and to provide for the wants of others.—(Cheers.) Nor must he forget one of the chief instruments in their bounty—the Morning Ad vertiser—(Cheers)—a journal distinguished by its independ ence—its literary merits—its advocacy of liberal principles, and its untiring and unceasing warfare 'against everything which is opposed to just and equal rights—to true prin ciple—to the rights of the poor—and the claims of the rich. —(Cheers.) The profits of that journal had been devoted to charity, and its influence was always exercised in defence of that which was true, honest, just, and right. It knew no party but the people, and no object but the diffussion of those principles which bound man to man, nation to nation, and the whole world in one brotherly union of happiness, virtue, and religion.—(Hear, hear.) rhe Hon. Gentleman concludedC an eloquent speech by saying, that he could not forget that while other meetings celebrated the progress of conquerors and devastating armies, this Society originated in peace—had been supported in changeful and eventful times by determined energy, and all its steps had been marked only by happiness and order.—(Hear and cheers.) Long might it 'flourish in undiminished vigour,"and when his head was laid low in the dust, he hoped to be remembered as the friend• and supporter of the Incorporated Society, its Newspaper, its School, and its kindred institutions. Mr. C. BLEADEN said, he had been honoured by the re quest that he should propose the health of their respected Chairman, the Governor of the Incorporated Society. He proposed the toast with great satisfaction, because he be lieved that the gentleman whose health he was about to sub mit to them had justly earned their esteem, by the honourable manner in which he had executed the duties of his office.— (Hear, hear.) They were assembled that day to celebrate an occasion that must he gratifying to all of them—an occasion which it was not likely that any one present would be able again to enjoy. They had seen the Society with which they were identified rise from an humble to a great position, and even to the highest possible place that could be assigned to such an institution.—(Hear, hear.) They must, therefore, feel that any gentleman who was placed in the position of Governor of such a Society, attained an eminence which any man might well be proud of.—(Hear, hear.) Their Governor had commenced life as they had all done. He had, as a Licensed Victualler, secured for himself that regard which his merits as a man commanded ; and here he would take the opportunity of observing that they were deeply indebted to the Press for the aid which:it gave to the Licensed Victual lers of London, and sure he was that no body of men were more deserving of support and encouragement than the body to which he had the honour to belong.—(Hear, hear.) Where could the " way-worn traveller" receive a more cheering welcome than in the house of the Licensed Victualler—for whether he spent little or much he was always well received. —( Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, a gratifying thing to find that such a body of men were done justice to by the press of this country; and when they considered that the Magis trates of that City felt pride and pleasure in identifying them selves with the institutions connected with the trade, it must be a source of satisfaction to all of them to be so respected. —(Hear, hear.) He had diverged from the actual object which he had in view when he first rose ; but he would con- dude by calling on them to join with him in drinking the health of the Governor of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers and the Chairman of that meeting. The. CnuunmAN expressed his acknowledgments for the flattering manner in which his health had been proposed, and for the kind and cordial way in which it had been re ceived by the company.—(Hear t hear.) Mr. BLAKE then read a second list of subscriptions, among whom was Dr.. Sheridan, the Editor of the Morning Advertiser, 101. 10s., in addition to his subscription as a life governor. He (Mr. Blake) had been requested, as he was addressing the company, to propose a toast which would be highly grateful to the feelings of every one present. He referred to the health of Robert Henry Brown, Esq., the first Secretary of the Society, and founder of the Licensed Victuallers' School, a gentleman he (Mr. Blake) had known: and respected for many years. At an early period of the Institution Mr. Brown had much to do in framing rules and regulatiins for the guidance of the Institution—regulations which had, as they all knew, worked admirably well. The Society was then called the Friendly Society of Licensed Victuallers—a Society which had been founded by Mr. Wright, a gentleman whose worth and value were rightly appreciated by the trade.—(Cheers.) It was now the Incorporated Society. He (Mr. Blake) had had the honour of belonging to the Society for more than five-and thirty years, and he well could appreciate the efforts of such a man as Mr. Brown—(Hear)—and it was a source of deep regret to him, as it must be to all present, that Mr. Brown was necessarily absent on the occassion of the Jubilee ; at the same time - it was gratifying to him to know that the gentleman to whom he referred was, at his advanced age, not absent on account of mental or physical disability.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of the Gover nor elect, Mr. Wicker," a gentleman who was at once well qualified and willing to undertake the arduous duty of Go vernor of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers for the ensuing year.—(Cheers.) Mr. WICKER- returned thanks. He begged to return his sincere and heartfelt thanks for the cordial manner in which _ _ his health had been received.—(Hear.) He could not allow the present occasion to pass without earnestly requesting the co-operation of the Committee. It was the more necessary for him to do this, when remembering the splendid efforts and success of the present and past governors.—(Hear.) As far as he was concerned, he would at all times be ready to give his utmost exertions in aid of the great object that every one present had so much at heart.—(Hear.) Several other toasts were then proposed and responded to. We cannot close our notice of this event without express ing our astonishment at the perfect and orderly manner in which the proprietors of the London Tavern contrived to cater for such an immense assemblage of persons without creating the slightest dissatisfaction. It is hardly necessary to add, that the renowned Mr. O'Toole, of the Mansion-house, acquitted himself of the duties of toastmaster with his accus -1 tomed impressiveness. THE NEW GRESHAM CLUB. The members of the Gresham Club celebrated the laying the first stone of the New Club House, by a dinner given last evening at the All,ion, Aldersgate-street. The Lord Mayor presided, and more than a hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to a splendid repast served up in the best style of this well known establishment. T. Laurie Murray, Esq., acted as Vice-President. The new club will be a great addition to the institutions of the City, where it was much wanted. The members seem determined to carry on their under taking with spirit, and the rules and regulations are on so liberal a scale, that there can be no doubt but that it will be widely and effectively supported. Several gentlemen were invited to the dinner on the occasion. Among those present were (besides the Lord Mayor) Mr. Sheriff Moore, Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, Mr. Altlern„ Wood, the Rev. Dr. Croly, Messrs. Amory, Underwoo , ', Westall, Caldecott, Cubitt, Cartar, Baylis, Silver. Sergeant Murphy, M.P., R. L. Jones, Esq., Messrs.

(Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club) acknow ledged, the toast, being in some degree connected with at least one bre.nch of the marine of England.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said he had now to propose a toast which he was sure would give them the greatest satisfaction.—(Hear, hear.) It had that day been his good fortune to have the pleasure of assist ing to lay the foundation-stone of the new Gresham Club-house. — (Loud cheers.) He was satisfied that the spirit of the individuals who had combined together to erect that building, would produce a mansion which would be as great an ornament to the City as it would be a comfort and convenience to the gentlemen and merchants of the City generally.—(Chters.) - Such a convenience was greatly wanted, and he had now as much satis faction in proposing the toast of prosperity to the Club as they would have hi drinking it. Ho gave " Prosperity to the Gresham Club." Drank with three times three, and rounds of enthusiasUc'cheering frequently renewed. T. Labile Mullis!, Esq., responded to the toast. lie said he felt considerably embarrassed on the present occasion—more em barrassed perhaps than he had ever felt in his life, because he sat beibre him a task that was difficult to perf orm. in thes, first instance he had to discharge a debt of gratitude , atude a debt which to an honourable mind was always one of ttihe first othe bli gations.

A favour which, when he remembered how deeply he (Mr. Murray) was pledged to the success of this undertaking, he felt that he could never sufficiently repay.—(Loud cheers.) His Lordship had condescended to lay the foundation stone of the In stitution, in which he and other members of that Club were much interested, and he had done so with a degree of urbanity only ex celled by the effi c i ent manner in which he had discharged his duty.— acquainted ueh older British institution history must (Cheers.) This was n o t th e place to discuss the topic of clubs gene clubs were connected w ith a l most every great achievement in their wasknseea supposed. Those d political annals. The institution of clubs had been known almost ever since the beginning of British history. At the present day, clubs contained snore comfort, more convenience, more elestuice, more management, and more refinement, than any establishments known to former ages. It might be that some of them contained more selfishness than was intended should be practised in the Gresham Club.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) A club combined all the advan tages of a select society, with all the advantages of sociality. Asso ciated in a club, men were placed in a position better to carry out whatever measure the society was formed for, whether its nature were political or commercial. They fortunately united among themselves men of all politics—(Cheers)—and of all pursuits—men who, however they differed on other subjects, were fortu nately united in the principle of sociality. He had lent his humble aid to the formation of this club ; he had embarked his energies in it, and, as far as his humble abilities were concerned, he should continue to give it his support. The Gresham Club had met with wonderful success ; this was principally owing to the selection of the Committee ; since the day of its formation they had never had a single difference; there had been among them none of those private jealousies and petty piques which they had seen in other societies.—(Hear, hear.) Placed in the centre of the great mart of commerce, this Club bore the name of the eminent and single minded Sir Thomas Gresham, a man to whom the City of London was, more than to any other individual ; indebted. Sir Thomas Gresham enjoyed the financial confidence of three monarchs, and those who had read of the difficulties in which those monarchs were placed, must appreciate the disinterestedness with which he served them. Having the misfortune to be deprived by deatkof his only SOH, he dedicated the wealth which that son would have in herited to raise a building devoted to commerce in the centre of the greatest commercial city in the world. His name they had chosen as that of their Club. He would hot detain them longer than to state a matter of business connected with the institution. The club was conceived hi a liberal spirit ; it was a happy concep tion ; and in the same spirit in which it was conceived, it would be carried out. It was begun with but few members, and with a spirit of economy. They were determined that it should support itself, and that, whether they had few mem bers or many, those who became members should not have to pay for the extravagance of those who had been in it before. While they took economy for their motto and principle, they could ask new tliends to join them, saying, at the same time, "We don't take you in —(Cheers and laughter) —we don't deceive you; we ask you to associate with men determined to pay their way."—(Cheers.) They had got a building in progress which, for beauty of style and eleva tion, considering the means at command, could not be ex ceeded one which would be considered an ornament to the City of LOndon." They would scarcely, perhaps, believe him when he told them that they should sit in that building for a rental of 5201. a year. That could not 'be considered an extravagant rent to pay for such large and commodious premises in such a central part of London. If they looked at. the plans of the interior, they would find that. economy was combined with comfort ; it was impossible that any merchant or any nobleman could be better accommodated than they should be. He now asked them to fill bumpers to the toast he had to give them, which was the health of the Chief Magistrate of the City of London.—(Cheers.) Ho passed a warm eulogium on the manner in which his Lordship had discharged his public duties, especially for his firmness and temper in an im portant inquiry still pending, and for the manner in which he had abated the nuisance of the omnibuses loitering in the City. He con cluded by again proposing the toast, which was warmly received by the assembly. The Loan MAYOR briefly acknowledged the compliment. Mr. LAME ML&RAY then proposed " The Health of the Rev. Dr. Croly."—(Great cheering.) The Heir. Dr. CaoLY returned thanks. lie expressed his gratitude for the warm and unanimous feeling they had displayed towards him. At the same time he must say that he had been a little taken hi. He came to a club dinner, taking it for granted that they could do as they liked, drink what they pleased, and go away without hav ing anything to say at the end of it.—(Laugkter.) But he found he had to submit to a superior force, though he confessed it was the most amiable of all tyrannies. He expressed the satisfaction he felt as rector of the parish in which the club-house was to be situated, and thanked the Committee for giving such a substitute for the miserable tissue of streets that formerly existed on the site. He then glanced at the nature of clubs generally. The Parliament of England itself was only a club.—(Cheers.) The earliest club in his memory was the club of Hercules.—(Cheers and laughter.) As long as Hercules remained a bachelor he stuck to his club—it was his constant partner. But a change at last came over Hercules, and he got married.— (Laughter.) His wife, like many modern wives, insisted on his cut ting his club—(Cheers)—and Hercules lost his spirit, abandoned his vocation, and became an old woman.—(Cheers and laughter.) His subsequent htory tells that, though he did not exactly beat hemp, yet he took to spinning it. Like a sailor in his old age, he became a gossip, and took to " long yarns."—(Great laughter.) He should not go deeper into the prohibited history of clubs. He should merely tell them a short story from a witty divine, better known for success of his literary efforts than for that of his Pennsylvanian specula tions.—(Much cheering and great laughter.) Some stranger to London asked the Rev. Gentleman what was the nature of the London clubs? He told him they were of various kinds, but that there was one, of which the constitution was peculiar, and in which the members spoke a peculiar language adapted only to their:own capacities. The members of this club, Sheridan, with a humorous in solence, called the "wooden walls of old England."—(Laughter.) They were all agricultural gentlemen. When they talked at all, they talked of nothing but prize oxen ; and when they sat down to cards, they played for sheep points, and a bullock the rubber !—(Loud laughter.) He concluded by proposing the "Corporation of London:' The toast was neatly acknowledged by Mr. Alderman WooD, and was followed by the " Health of the Sheriffs," acknowledged by Mr. Sheriff Moon. _ _ . Mr. AMORY gave " Prosperity to the City of London, and the trade thereof," which was drank with great applause. Mr. MAYOR proposed "Mr. Sergeant Murphy and their visitors." Mr. Sergeant MURPHY having responded to the toast in an able address, gave the health of " the Vice-President, Mr. Lamle Murray." Mr. LAMIE MURRAY very briefly returned thanks. The following toasts were then given— " The Committee," proposed by Dr. CaoLT, and acknowledged by r. DAVIS. " The solicitor of the Club, Mr. Avery," and " The Architect, Mr. H. Flower." The company then separated, after a pleasant and convivial even ing. The best anticipations are entertained of the future prosperity of the Club, fully warranted by the excellent spirit that seemed to pervade every one connected with it. We ought to mention that the enjoyment of the evening was much heightened by the very efficient corps of vocalists, consisting of Messrs. T. Cooke, Young, Taylor. Machin, and Masters Stevens and Sullivan, who gave seven.l favourite songs and glees in very superior style. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)
