[From the Liverpool Courier of Wednesday.} [Further Particulars.] On Friday last the dinner given by this Club to the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING , previous to his depar ture for India, took place at the York Hotel, Williamson square, JOHN GLADSTONE, Esq. M.P., President, in the Chair. The large room was tastefully decorated for the occa sion. The walls on each side were spread with flags, bearing different and appropriate devices, interspersed with festoons of laurel. In front of the orchestra was a transparency, with the inscription " Canning and Independence ;" on both sides of which several splendid silk flags were grouped. The room had a very pleasing appearance, and reflected great credit upon the taste of the gentlemen under whose superintendence it had been decorated. Mr. Canning arrived at the hotel in Mr. Gladstone's car riage a few minutes before six o'clock, and was loudly cheer ed by a crowd of respectable persons collected in front of the hotel. At six o'clock above 160 gentlemen sat down to a dinner, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, and prepared in a manner highly creditable to the well known taste of Mrs. Crow. , ther. The cloth having been removed, the Chairman proposed the following toasts in succession : " His Majesty the King, Duke of Lancaster ;" four times four. Song—God save the King,'Messrs. Gifford, Larkin, and Shaw. " The Duke of York and the Army." Band—Duke of York's March. " The Duke of Clarence and the Navv." Song—Rule, Bri tannia ! Messrs. Gifibrd, Larkin, and Shaw. " Our glorious Constitution, the pride of Britons and the ad miration of the world ;" three times three. Song—Firth of Liberty, Mr. Larkin. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the next toast upon the printed list, the health of his Majesty's Ministers, observ ed, that they required no eulogium from him. Possessing, as they did, the confidence of the country at large; he was was quite satisfied that the company would drink their health in a manner becoming the important services which they had rendered to the empire. He concluded by giving " His Ma jesty's Ministers." The toast was drank with three times three and rapturous applause. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, that the next should be a bumper toast. It was true, that the company there assembled were a part of the many whose health they were about to drink; but, in forming a part of that many, they must all feel that they were united with a party which had distinguished itself by its attachment to the Constitution of the country—an attachment which was never more conspicuously displayed than when their Right Honourable Friend was returned Representative for Liverpool. Although the company might be charged with egotism in drinking the health of a body of which they form ed a part, he should, notwithstanding, propose that the toast should be drank with three times three. He concluded by giving— " The loyal and independent Freemen of Liverpool, who so nobly supported our distinguished Representative." It was drank with three times three. Ddet, Gallop on gaily, Messrs. Gifford and Shaw. The CIIAIRMAN, in Imposing the next toast oh the printed list, addressed the meeting as follows :—" Gentlemen, when I invite you to charge your glasses, I am quite aware that I n ee d not dictate to you the manner of doing so. I know you will fill them to the brim, and. drink the toast in an overflowing bumper. Gentlemen, the toast which I have the honour to proiose is one which, I am sure, will be drank with the same warm and ardent enthusiasm which has ever accompanied it when given in this room.—(Applause.)—.l am quite aware, that it would be idle, as it would be unnecessary, for me to speak of or enumerate any of the great, important, a nd distin guished services which our Right Hon. Representative and Friend, Mr. Canning (for such I am sure I may justly call him), has performed for the benefit of this town, and the empire at large.—(Applause.)—lt is known to every individual who now hears me, that he neverhas withheld his ready assistance, when the just claims, either of indi v id ua l s or o f associated bodies, have demanded its exercise. But I regret to say, t h at a period seeems to be approaching, when I fear, and deeply fear, that we are to part. I know well, from your tried attach ment, the pain this must give you; and how much that pain and regret must be increased by your intimate knowledge of the value of what you are so likely to lose. For, have we not often witnessed the power and controulling influence of his dis tinguished talents, his gigantic mind, and commanding elo quence? Have we not seen him, as it.were, like a consuming fire, wither or extinguish the arguments opposed to him in the field of debate ?—(Applause.)—But it is not less our duty to recollect, that if high and imperative duties call him hence, (and such only could take him from us,) that ought, if any thing can, to reconcile us to parting. He' is about to enter upon the Government of a distant part of this realm, which of itself forms a great empire, and where the destinies of almost countless millions are to be placed, and I will say safely placed, in his hands.—(Applause.)—But, though thus separated from you, I know that he will continue to live in your affection, as I doubt not we shall do in his warmest recollectlons.—(Re newed applause.)—Let us, then, continue to cherish those principles which first brought us together, and to evince, by our unceasing attachment to the Constitution of our country, as by law established, how much we value the protection it affords and the blessings it confers. This Society, from its origin, has been distinguished by its loyalty and zeal for the best interests of the State ; and, if we are now to part with Mr. Canning, I trust, when the time arrives for us to welcome his return, that he will find us the same warm and devoted advo cates f the good cause in which we are engaged, and ready to receive him with all that warmth of feeling and attachment which he is now witnessing.—(Cheers.)—l will not longer tres pass on your time., but proceed to discharge so pleasant a duty by giving fora toast— • . "Ourhighly distinguished Representative, the Right Hon. George Canning ; a Statesman who, by his constitutional prin ciples and transcendent abilities, has rendered such eminent services to his Constituents and to the Empire at large." The toast was received with a tumultuous burst of enthu siasm, and was drank with nine times nine, and the most raptu rous Plaudits. The company, after resuming their seats, si multaneously rose again, and drank it with nine times nine,the cheers which followed lasting several minutes. Mr. CAN Nixes, as soon as the cheering had subsided, rose, and spoke as follows Gentlemen—l am really and unaffectedly overpowered by the manner in which you have had the goodness to receive the mention of my name; and if my worthy friend, your President, was apprehensive that, in drinking the last toast, which included what he understood as a compliment to yourselves, - innongst a great number of your fellow-townsmen and fellow-countrymen, you were in danger of incurring the charge of egotism, how much more difficult is the task which is imposed upon me, of acknowledging, in adequate terms, the kindness which you havei manifested towards me individually ! " Gentlemen, there is nothing of egotism, there is nothing of undue partiality, in your cherishing towards each other those feelings of respect and regard which naturally arise from a com munity of opinion. On the contrary, all the analogies of our political constitution peculiarly favour such associations. They are eminently calculated for the conservation of those principles in which they originate. You love your country, as compre hending in itself al the charities of private life ; and when, in cultivating those charities, you form amongst yourselves socie ties such as this, cemented by an agreement in sound principles —principles of attachment to the free, the popular, but, at the same time, monarchical character of the Government under which it is our happiness to live, you create so many deposi tories for those principles, uninvidious when the feeling of loyalty is generally prevalent ; but useful, in the highest de gree, when the contagion of other principles is abroad. In northern climes, the essence of a generous vintage is cften pre. served in asmall liquid nucleus, which remains unfrozen amidst the surrounding -congelation ; that nucleus, when the time of thaw comes, diffuses itself through the whole, and communi cates to the mass its spirit and its flavour. So, I trust, that in all times--even in , times such as the "worst that we have seen, and such as, I hope, we are not likely soon to see again—in this Club will be constantly preserved the spirit of loyalty and constitutional freedom, -to be diffused, when the occasion shall arise, amongst the community with which you are surrounded. " Gentlemen, to come, however reluctantly, to what more immediately concerns myself, and to the occasion to hich your worthy Chairman has alluded, as now bringing me among you —that of bidding you farewell. It is, now,.ten years since I have been connected with this town.' It is nearly as long since this society grew up out of that connection. During that period, I can say, I hope without the danger of contradiction, that there is not, so far as I know, a single individual—l am sure I 1 .- , - , -,,,,, • ~. 't...--,..,1 4,7 q.. ..„ -4,....,.. -,‘ • .. ..,. t. .. . 1P.6 The toast was drank with three times three, and great ap plause. Mr. CANNING rose, and said that in returning thanks in the name of Mr. Huskisson, for the manner in which the company had had the goodnes4 to receive his health, he should do him an injustice not to say, that it had been his earnest desire to be present at the festivities of that day. But a Session of Parlia ment, protracted beyond all example in point of time, and liar rassing beyond all human strength in point of fatigue and dif ficulty, had so shortened Mr. H's. summer, land bad left him so little time for the discharge of his official duties; that he (Mr. Canning) could assure the company it was physically impossible for Mr. H. to redeem the pledge that lie had given at an early period of the Session, with a sincere desire of redeeming it.— (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN, after passing a. deserved eulogium upon. , the character of the departed States Man, proposed The im mortal memory of William Pitt," which was drank with three times three. " The Duke of Wellington ;" three times three. Band, See the conquering Hcro comes. Song, Parby Kelly, Mr. Larkin. "Ile immortal memory of Laid Nelson." Song, Death of Nelson, Mr. Larkin: Mr. HOLLTNSUEAD trusted that he should not be charged with presumption, if he took the liberty to propose the health of their worthy friend, who, with so much ability, filled the chair on that occasion. A better friend, a more enterprising merchant, or a man more warmly attached to the institutions of his country, could not be found. He concluded by propos ing " the health of their worthy Chairman." The toast was received with great applause, and drank with three times three, and loud cheers. Mr. GLADSTONE rose, and begged to be permitted to return to the meeting his sincere and heart-felt thanks for the flatter ing manner in which they had drank his health: Living ,amongst them, as he had done for so many years he hoped that they would not accuse him of presumption, when he ven tured to say, that his principles were identified with theirs.-a (Applause.)—lle held it to be his duty, whenever an opportu nity presented itself; to promote the intere.sts of Liverpool to the utmost of his humble power. The opportunities were few; but he had ever been ready to seize them with avidity, and had, as far as he was able, endeavoured to promote the interests of those who had done him the honour to consult him.—(Ap plause.)—He felt that his interests were identified with those of Liverpool • and he trusted that lie should never be found wanting, under any circumstances or in any situation, in doing what he could to promote its prosperity.—(Applause.)--With these feelings, he would not detain the company longer, but would, with their permission, beg leave to propose the nealth of a Gentleman who was, unfortunately, absent from the meeting by indisposition, but whose heart was with them. He was a Gentleman whom they all respected, and who had long been tried for his attachment to the Constitution and Government of the country.—(Applause.)—He trusted that the company would' soon see hint amongst them restored to health. They could not be at a loss to perceive, that lie was about to propose . the health of Mr. Bolton, and he proposed that it should be drank with three times three.—(Cheers.) The toast was drank with three times three accordingly, and with the most marked applause. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, declared, that the liberty of the press had not a warmer friend than himself, nor had its licentiousness a more determined foe. In proposing " The Liberty of the Press," he should beg to associate with it the names of two gentlemen, whose services in the cause of loyalty and good government demanded the thanks of the club lie alluded to Mr. Gore and Mr. Kaye, and "the Liberty of the Press without its Licentiousness." The toast was drank accordingly. Mr. WILLIAM GORE observed that so unexpected an honor was more than either his brother or himself could have expect-: ed ; and, in their united names, lie begged to return their sin, cere thanks to the company for so flattering a mark of respect. Mr. KAYE spoke to the following effect :—Gentlemen, called upon, thus suddenly and unexpectedly to express my gratitude for this flattering mark of your regard, I am placed in a situa tion so embarrassing as to render me incapable of adequately expressing my feelings. To be noticed at such a time, under such circumstances, and by so large and highly-respectable a company as the one now assembled, calls for my most heartfelt acknow ledgments. I am not, however, so vain as to imagine that the as sociation of my name with the toast upon the card was intended so much a compliment to myself as a recognition of principles common to us all. Gentlemen, my earliest recollections are asso ciated with the most profound regard for the constituted autho rities of the country, loyalty to my King, and ardent attachment to the Constitution as by law established. The sentiments then impressed upon my mind were calculated and intended to give an impulse and a character to my future life. I have never ceased to be influenced by them ; and if, since I have had the honour to be connected with the press, as the conductor of a pub lie journal, these principles haveheen more hilly brought into operation—if any thing has been done by me to promote and conserve the great principles of loyalty and reverence for the Constitution in this town and neighbourhood—and if, at the same time, the discharge of my public duty has been subser vient to the interests of this Association, it is to me truly gra tifying. 1 have, however, but discharged my duty. I have performed it fearlessly and conscientiously ; but I do not claim any the slightest merit to myself on that account. The great political principles, of which you have on this occasion been pleased to express your approbation, animate us all ; and it is a most gratifying reflection, that they are so eloquently advocated and successfully applied, on all occasions, by our Right Hon. Representative. Gentlemen, it is unnecessary for me longer to occupy your attention ; I shall, therefore, conclude by referring you to my past conduct as the best and surest pledge of future consistency. " The Mayor of Liverpool ;" three times three. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the next toast, ob served, that it was a toast on which he had had the honour of expressing his opinion in that room before. It was not his in tention, therefore, to enter again into any discussion respecting the conduct of the Magistrates for Manchester, on the occasion to which the toast alluded. He would only say, that the opi nion which he had formerly expressed concerning it remained unchanged. He thought, that the country was much indebted to them for their firm and fearless conduct on that trying occa-: sion ; and it was a subject of satisfaction to him to know, that the toast he was about to propose was recognised as a standing one with that Society. He had now, therefore, the honour to give— " The Magistrates of Manchester and the Neighbourhood, who so Successfully exerted themselves in thedischarge of their dutY, for the preservation of the peace of this County." It was drank with three tinies three. " May the energy of the Loyal ever defeat the views of the Factious." "Miss Tobin, our Lady Patroness," three times three. Song—Sweet Mary, Mr. Shaw; Mr. J. A. CASE proposed the health of the Committee who had furnished the entertainment. This toast was drank with three times three. Mr. ACXERS, in returning thanks, in the name of the Com mittee, disclaimed any share in the merit of forming the ar rangements which had given such general satisfaction. His friend, Mr. Knapper, had, amongst others, been particularly conspicuous for his activity ; anti he begged leave to propose the health of that Gentleman. It was drank with much applause. Mr. KNAPPEIt briefly returned thanks for the manner in which the company had been pleased to notice the humble ser vices which he had rendered on that occasion ; and trusted that he should long have it in his power to perform similar services. The CHAIRMAN said, that he was about to propose the me mory of one who, in his lifetime, was not more conspicuous for his zeal in the good cause, than for his unshaken attach ment to the institutions of his country. He was personally known to many who were present ; and in that Club he had many personal friends, who respected him whilst living, and revere his memory now that he is no more. He prqposed that they should drink to the memory of Thomas Rotte, Esq. in solemn silence. Mr. CANNING rose, and spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, permit me to take leave of you for the night, with renewed acknowledgments for the kindness with which you have re ceived me. These acknowledgments I cannot better express than in one of the toasts which I find upon your paper, embodying, as it does, the sentiments that I entertain to wards you, and towards the community of which you are a part, and of which I have been now nearly ten years a faith ful, I hope, and lam sure a favoured, Representative. It has been held, Gentlemen, by writers and speakers upon pub lic subjects, that however commerce may enrich a State, it has drawbacks which more than balance its advantages, in debasement of principle, and in the lowering of high-minded feeling. If tins was ever true of any State, it is not true PRICE SEVENIIENCt, of England ; if it was ever true of any town, it is not true of Liverpool. In proposing to you, therefore, your accustomed toast, " The good Old Town of Liverpool and the Trade there of," I express, in homely language, of which, howevei, every word has its value, your cultivation of " good" principles— your attachment to the "old" institutions of England--and the combination of those principles and those attachments with a flourishing " trade," which, so far fr om d e b as i ng t h e commu nity which it enriches, has, with expanding wealth, brought proportionate expansion of intellect; and, with increasing pros perity, has increased your deviation and attachment to the con stitution of your country, as, the source from which national prosperity springs.—( Cheers.) The toast was drank with thunders of applause. Mr. Canning, Mr. Gladstone, and several other Gentlemen, quitted the company at half-past ten o'clock. Mr. John Eccles, the Vice-President, was then called to the Chair. " May the Principles of William Pitt ever animate the Conn ells of Great Britain." " The President and Members of our Sister Club, the Back bone,"three times three. The health of Mr:iiolinshead was proposed and drank with three times three, and great applause. " May the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock, be so invi gorated by union, . that neither foreign no . r domestic blasts can ever wither them." ' " Major Falkner and the Liverpool Light Horse." Mr. W. MawnsnEY rose and said, I have waited thus long, in the hope that some one of the corps might be present to ac knowledge the honour done to my flighty respected partner; but, being disappointed, and his son having left the mom, I cannot sit silent after his health has been drank by so respecta ble a Company, and with such marked applause, without mak ing an acknowledgment, and thanking yon most sincerely in his name. I need scarcely add, that Major Faulkner .partici pates with you, not only on the present, but on all occasions, in loyalty to our King, attachment to the Constitution,_ and in sincere and heartfelt good wishes for th e health and happiness of our highly distinguished R e p resenta ti ve .

A powerful band was st a tion e d in the orchestra; and Mr. W. Taylor charmed the company by his exquisite performaace on the jew's-harp. Conviviality and harmony reigned till a late hour; and the company separated highly delighted with the intellectual en joyment as well as the festivities of the evening. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.

[From the York Courier.] According to the determination of the CorpO ' rate Body, already alluded to, a most sumptuous dinner was proided, on Monday evening, for his Royal Highneis the Duke of SUSSEX, for the Corporation, and for such other Gentlemen as the Right Hon. the Loup Itlkrou might think proper to invite. The Members of the Corporation assembled at the Mansion House, in their official owns, &c. soon after six, tq be ready to receive his Royal Highness, who, accompanied by two Gentlemen, drove up in his open carriage,' amidst the loud cheering of the multitude. The Duke rode without his hat, and most graciously bowed to the spectators este passed along. 'When he had alighted at the Mansion House he turned to the crowd, and respectfully bowed to them, when they again loudly cheered his Royal H ighness. There were two large tables down the room, ;..vifh one at Hie head, to join theM. 'The Lord Mayor prey tied, and on' his right sat the Duke of Sussex and Mr. thaloner, whilst on his left sat the Recorder and the Hon. Thomas Dundas. There could not be far short of 150 persons present. The health of the King having _preyicaidly been dritrik,• the following toasts succeeded:—" The Constitution. "—( Ap.. plause.)—Music, " Hearts of Oak."—" The Dpke of York and the Army."—Music, " The Duke of York's March."-:- " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—Music, " Rule Britannia." The Lonn MAYOR now rose, and in a very neat and com plimentary address proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.—(Loud and continued applause.),--The toast was accordingly drunk with cheers, and his Royal High ness rose • and returned thanks. The Duke concluded his speech by proposing the health of the Lord Mayor. His Lord ship returned thanks, and proposed, . , " The health of the other branches of the RoY a r Family."— Music, " God save the King.' The Duke of SUSSEX rose, and said that, by permission of the Lord Mayor, he should propose a toast. He, however, would previously Make a few observations on the 'subject to which that toast alluded. His Roy a l Hi g h ness th en addressed the company in a most animated and manly speech, and con eluded by proposing the following toast : " The respectability of the Crown, the durability of the Con stitution, and the prosperity of the People." This toast was received with loud acclamation, and was drunk with cheers. It was then about nqUarter past eleven, and the Duke retired amidst the loud cheering of the company. SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE EDINBURGH BANQUET. The honourable service of attending on the Kiaro, with a silver basin and ewer and a napkin, for his Majesty to dip his hands, which was performed on Saturday by William Howson Crawfurd, younger, of Braehead and Crawfhrdland, in place of his mother, the proprietrix of Braehead, in the County of Mid Lothian, being the tenure by which these lands are held, has its origin in the following very interesting story; related of art ancestor of the present family of Howison of Braehead : " One of the Kings of Scotland, James 11. or 111., travelling ineog. (as was frequently his custom), in the neighbourhood of Cramond-L'idge, was attacked by a gang of Gipsies, then very numerous in Scotland. The King long gallantly defend ed himself, but they at length succeeded in bringing him to the ground, when a husbandman named Howison, and his sou, employed in thrashing grain in a barn hard by, hearing the noise of the scuffle, came out, and seeing one roan attacked by • so many, gallantly sided with the weaker party, and dealt such lusty blows with their flails among the Gipsies, as put them to flight, and rescued the strangerfrom his periloussituation. They afterwards conducted him to their humble dwelling, and, having presented him with a basin of water and a napkin to remove the blood and dirt from the bruises received in the contest, they gave him such refreshment as their house afforded. Tradi tion adds, that when the stranger laid aside his cloak, the farmer perceived by his apparel that he wa4 a person of some distinction, and placed him accordingly at the head of his board. This was at first declined, but the fanner persisted, saying, " He was master there," and the stranger was obliged to comply. Before going away, the stranger, after many thanks. invited his deliverer to visit him in Edinburgh, and desired him to inquire at the Castle for " ane James Stuart," who would gratify the curiosity he had expressed of seeing that fortreas. " Wow, man," observed the farmer, " I would like to s e e the Castle;" considering this, perhaps, a sufficient remuneration for the assistance he had rendered. At no distant period, the farmer availed himself of the invitation, and, having asked for his friend, as 'directed, was with due astonishment ushered into an assembly of nobles and courtiers, among whom he recognized his old friend "James Stuart." Ile again repeated his gratitude, and at the same time informed him that the King was present. whom he would soon find out by being the only person cover ed. " Then," said the bewildered farmer, "it maun be either you or mc." After diverting himself at the farmer's simpli city, the now-disclosed Monarch desired the farmer to rang a boon, such as he could bestow for his ,delieranee:— The honest rustic modestly replied, that the summit of 44 earthly wishes was to become proprietor of the lands he occu pied as bondsman, which was cheerfully complied with by the Monarch, and a crown-charter of the lands of Brae - bead was immediately prepared, with the reddendo of holding a basin of water and nap . kin for the King to wash, when required so to d.. in commemoration of the friendly office performed by the hui.- bandman to his Sovereign; on rescuing him from the Oppsies." We understand the story was told to the King by Sir Water Scott, and that his Majesty was highly amused with it.—(Edin burgh Courant.) FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1822. can say that there is not a single interest, belonging to this town, which has not had, when required, the share of my active at tentioft n and which has not, and ever will have, a share in my most intense and anxious good-will. " Gentlemen, you embodied yourselves at a time when the country was in great difficulties, both at home and abroad.— The councils to which we gave our cordial support have glori ously surmounted the external difficulties; and surmounted them not as those who were then opposed to us recommea l ed —by compromise, by trucking, or by a mere accidental, laftity escape; but by perseverance, by steadiness, by confid e n ce i n oursels es in our country and our cause, by a triumph with6ut example, as our exertions were with ou t p rece d ent or p ara ll e l . " Ur. fortunately, great efforts are not to be made without great sa•erifices ; and as the overstrained exertion of the politi cal, as well as of the physical body, produces lassitude and exhaustion unfortunately the conclUsion. of our dangers from without ,vacs followed by internal dangers, which, if it was not more diffi cult to overcome, it was equally more painful to com bat. In combating such demo - ere, we were animated by none of the feelings which sustained us during the conflict with the foreign foe;—we felt, that we were at war with those who ought to li ave been our fellows in sentiment as in country ; and our triumph was painful in its execution, though just and. merciful in its purpose. Long may those over whom it was achieved share, in peace and tranquillity, the benefit of its achievement ! " I would fain hope, indeed, Gentlemen, that we have no more such struggles, no more such triumphs to apprehend. Looking abroad through Europe, I see no near prospect of a call upon this country for any foreign eicertion. At home, I do not disguise from myself that I see great difficulties and great distress; but I see those difficulties and that distress in quarters where education and intelligence may be expected to counteract intemperance of feeling, to correct prejudice, and to discountenance faction. The suffering was, erewhile, in those classes of society with whom suffering naturally begets impa tience and absorbs reflection, aid delivers over the sufferer, in pardonable and pitiable delusion, a prey to every designing demagogue, who points out resistance as a remedy. It exists now, I am grieved to acknowledge, inhigher classes of society, not less entitled to sympathy, no less objects of compassion, and, where practicable, of relief; but who know that their safety, as well as their prosperity, is bound up with the peace of the kingdom; and who, when they are satisfied that the privatiOns which they now endure are such as neither laws nor Governments can cure, will be cautious not to lend their au thority to' any schemes, which, under pretence of alleviating present and partial evils, may lead to the disturbance of their country. lam confident, that having, during a great struggle of so many year s , p reac h e d p a ti ence , to the humbler classes of the community, the higher will not now desert their duty, by refusing, in their turn; to practise the same degree of patience which has been generally displayed by those beneath them. " For, Gentlemen, apart froth the interests of separate classes, we have all a common interest in the conservation of that order of things which is the security of the whole. We must feel, 1 am sure, and none feel more than those whom I am ad dressing, that it would be a peevish and unthinking spirit, which, under the irritation of a temporary inconvenience, should quarrel, not with'the immediate sources of immediate suffining, but with all that surrounds them, with all that is contemporary with them, with passive circumstances as well as with active causes ; as a child, in its anger, beats the ground because for a moment it has fallen. To maintain to,our native land that supremacy which it has long exercised, we must look to the maintenance of its institutions ; and if, in a moment of uncom fortable pressure, we lay hold, in anger, On those established institutions, and shake them to ruin, we may be perfectly sure, that, while we procure no remedy for the evil that assails us, we shall take from our posterity, probably from ourselves, the means of safety as well as the hope of reparation. " But, Gentlemen, enough of general reflection. In my de sire to avoid the temptation of _egotism in what I address to you, I have wandered from my immediate purpose. " Gentlemen, 1 owe it t o yo u , i n common with all my con- 4 stituents, to state the grounds on which I am about to separate from you. I have never (I call past events to bear me witness), I have never sought or accepted office, except on principles of honour. I have never hesitated to relinquish it, when I have thought that either public duty or individual honour required its relinquishment. In 1812, when a private individual, and having recently declined the highest official honours of the State, I was returned by you to Parliament, after a contest of unexampled exertion. You were good enough to return me again, when I b ecame a M em b er o f the Administration. I have since quitted that Administration, on a question wholly unconnected with its general course of policy, and without the smallest diminution of attachment to the public principles which I have uniformly professed, or the smallest relaxation in iny.support of them. When called to office, in 1816, I was called to a department perfectly alien from my oflicial habits, and with the business of which I had no previous acquaint ance; but, in the course of nearly five years' diligent admini stration of that department, it has so happened, that I am sup posed, by those in whom the law has vested the power of ap pointing to the Government of India, to have qualified myself liar the more immediate direction of that Government, over the concerns of which it h as b een my d uty to exerc i se a distant superintendence. "Many obvious circumstances, undoubtedly, would have made it more agreeable to me to have remained in this country.— ( Loud cheers.)—l see arcund me more than one hundred and sixty motives for having so wished to remain.—(Renewed cheers.)—But, Gentlemen, I hold that a public man is, unless he can spew cause of honour or duty to the contrary. bound to accept a trust which he is selected as competent to administer for the public interest. " Gentlemen, those in whom the law, as I haVe said, vests the power of appointment (subject to the approbation of the Crown), have don e me the ,honour to think that I may be the humble instrument of conferring some benefit on the popula tion of an extensive empire. I fear they over-rate my capa city fur the task which they impose upon me, as your kindness has over-rated my services to you.—(Cries of " No, no !") But I have not felt myself at liberty to decline a task, at once so difficult and so honourable ; I must execute it to the best of my ability. Gentlemen, in leaving your service, it is my pride to carry with me such testimonies of your satisfaction. I hope I may, without indecent vanity, add, that in quitting the House of Commons, it is a co nso l a ti on to me to qu i t i t not defeated nor disgraced.—(Cheers.) " If, Gentlemen, you and I are separated by space, let us continue united by sentiment and by kindness. J. leave here, in your keeping, a name, insignifiCant as it belongs to an indi vidual, but consecrated by the principles of which you have made it the symbol. Guard it, not for its own sake, but for the sake of those it s accompaniments. While it may be my lot to administer a government, of necessity in a great measure dis cretionary, I shall reflect that there is, in my own country, a community in which my name is cherished, as associated with rational liberty, with the principles of a free government, and with the institution of a free people. Guard you my memory, and I will cherish yours- Removed from you by thousands of miles, it will be a pl easure to me to th in k, t h a t I am occa sionally remembered by you ; and be assured, that, in what ever part of the world I may be stationed, the Members of this Society will have a place in my remembrance and regard. " Gentlemen, permit me to conclude with proposing, with a slight variation, y our usua l stan di ng toast —' Permanency and Prosperity to this Club.'" The speech was received throughout with loud applause, and the Right Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst the cheer ing of the company. Song—Should auld Acquaintance be forgot.—hi r. Gifford. The CHAIRMAN said, that the next toast he should have the honour of proposing was one which would, lie had no doubt, be drank with that attention and respect which the services of Gcn. Gascoyne deserved. Ile then proposed— " General Gascoyne, the Colleague of our Right Honourable Friend."—lt was drank with three times three, and much ap plause. The CHAIRMAN introduced the health of Mr. Huskisson by observing, that he knew - not that he could pass a higher eulo gium upon Mr. Huskisson than to say, that he was the bosom friend of their Right Hon. Representative, and possessed his unlimited confidence. For him (the Chairman) to e.ttempt to eulogise the character of Mr. Huskisson, would therefore be quite superfluous ; for• they could not have a higher testimony either to his talents or to his character than the fact he had just mentioned. He (the Chairman) could not but regret that,the Right Hotibult.ble Gentleman was not present on that occasion. nb did hope that the company would have been favoured with his presence; but indispensable official busi ness, he understood, had prevented ,him from c,arrying his in tention of being present into effect. The Chairman concluded by proposing— , " The Rightilon. 'William Huskisson, with our sincere re, Bret that his official duties should have prevented him from par ticipating in the festivities of the day."
