SP6RTING INTELLIGENCE. -- DONCASTER MEETING 'mutts]) AY NIGH r. The extraordinary sensation that the Ludlow affair has: created in all the sporting circles, and the curious circum stances that have attended it, will render any apology un necessary for again taking it up, premising, - however, that these are our " last words." A reference to our reports up to Tuesday night will show that we noticed the re petted sale to the Fang party en the Sunday, the mistrust consequent on it, and Mr. Beardsworth's assertion that no such sale had taken place ; that the horse was sold on the Monday to a Mr. Bond for 5,000 gs., and that the enor mous price, added to the unsatisfactory explanations given, convinced the public that Mr. Bond was part and parcel of the Fang party, the inference being that something einfmir was in , ended. In our account of the race we mentioned the fact that two jockeys had weighed for Ludlow, and that an attempt was made to change them after Wright had weighed ; this took place on the Race course, and was stopped by the Steward (Lord Uxbridge), who asked Mr. Bond " by whose authority the second jockey had weighed ?" The answer was, " by other parties connected with the horse." Lord U. very naturally inquired who these parties were, and with some difficulty collected that they were Mr. Bend's two brothers. The singularity of this assertion excited surprise, but of course put an end to further argument at that time. In the course of Wed nesday afternoon Lord Uxbridge was in conversation with some gentlemen at the Salutation, when Mr. Bond, not satisficd to let well alone, accosted his Lordship with the avowed intention on the subject of the jockeys, o attei,very indiscreetly dropped that there was a " fourth" party con nected with Ludlow. Load Uxbridge immediately desired Mr. Bond to give him the name of this person or party. Mr. Bond declined to do this unless in private. Of course the Noble Loud refused to receive any communication unless in his official capacity as Steward. Here the business dropped for that time. The same evening Mr. Bond ad dreeeed a letter to the Noble Earl, in which, besides some extraneous and rather impertinent expressions, be com plained that his Lordship hail refused to listen to his explanation. In consequence of this, and with a reso lution to sift the matter to the bottom, for the satisfac tion and protection of the public, his Lordship attended the Petting Rooms last night, accompanied by the Mar quis of Cleveland, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Count 3latus zevic, and several other Noblemen connected with the Turf. At this time there were upwards of five hundred gentlemen in the room, in the presence of whom the Noble Steward recapitulated the facts above recited. His Lordship's speech was manly, energetic, and to the purpose. Mr. Bond was then brought forward, evi dently against his inclination, to enter into the promised explanation, and such an unfortunate explanation was certainly never given before. He commenced by stating that he came to Doncaster to " buy a horse"— (Loud laughter at this Jemmy-Green-like expression) — that he found Ludlow was for sale, bought him, left him in the hands of Mr. Beardsworth's trainer, backed him, brought him to the post, and started him fairly ; more over that lie expected to win a " hat full of money" by Lim ; adding that the horse having been started to win he conceived the public had nothing more to do with it. Lord Uxbridge begged him to come to the " fourth" party ; but no : he went over the old story and blinked this important query. Again was it forced upon him, and it was reiterated all over the room amidst groans and hisses ; still it was useless. Dl r. Bond shifted about with all the dexterity of an Old Bailey witness, went owl- his first story again and again with variations, equivocated upon several point', and at length was self-convicted of palpable' falsehoode After a good hour and a half had been wasted it was found impossible to elicit flow Mi.. Mond the name of this " mysterious stranger" (the fourth party,) and the unlucky purchaser quitted the room amidst tremendous yells. Determined to get at this infoi natation his Lot dship now calledupon Mr. Beard.worth to state the circumstances of the sale ; this he did so clearly that all present accquitted him of any par ticipation in time meditated fraud ; to tise the words of a Noble Lord in the room, he completely' white washed himself. Messrs. Richardson and Wagstaff were then called upon as the owners of Fang (we have bithereto spoken of them as the Fang party),-their names having throughout been implicated in the transaction. They also gave straightforward and satisfactory explana tions, entirely exonerating themselves from any share in it. So plain, indeed, were their separate statements, that at the close Lord Cleveland expressed his opinion, and it was supported by the voices of all in the room, that Messrs. Beirdsworth, Richardson, and Wagstaff had fully excul pated themselves ; at the same time declaring that the conduct of Mr. Bond, calculated as it was to cast an ob loquy oar the Turf, was in the highest degree disgraceful. At the termination of the Noble Marquis's speech, nine enthusiastic cheers were given for Lord Uxbridge. It is quite impossible to give an 3f:equate idea of the admiration and respect in which this Noble Lord is held here, as well for his ;siva and gentlemanly attention to the troublesome duties of liis St,ewardship, as for the incessant pains he has taken to expose this disgraceful transaction ; had it not been scrutinised, the Doneaster Races would have been irretrievably' injured, and a lasting stigma thrown upon the Turf. His Lordship is entitled to the gratitude of all who have any regard for fair play. Lord Clweland was loudly cheered when he left the. room ; his Lertiship has taken great pains to promote the true interests of the Turf, and is deservedly popular, It is only to be regretted that all the trouble taken has failed to unearth that will o'-th'-wisp, the "fourth party." The racing came off as follows: The Ciascoigne Stakes of 100 soya. each, 30 ft., three year-old colts, Set. 61b. ; fillies, Sat. 3lb. The winner of the St. Leger to carry 41b. extra.

On Friday, September 14, about 200 gentlemen sat down to an elegant entertainment, provided by the hostess of the Granby Inn, to celebrate the triumph of the great measure of Reform. As no room in the town could be found of sufficient dimensions, a large war, house, belong ing to Mr. Marshall, the respectable cornfactor of Grimsby, was fitted up for the occasion : it was very tasefully deco rated, and ample accommodation was afforded. We no ticed the following inscriptions : Reform'—' the Church and Law'—' Earl Grey—Brougham—Russell—Althorp— Ebrington—Tennyeon—Pelham—lngilby—Hume---He neage—Wood—The People—the Press.' At three o'clock QUESTOR VEAL, Esq. the patriotic and highly respected Mayor, was elected to the chair. He was supported on the right by the Hon. C. A. Pelham, M.P., the Right Hon. C. Tennyson, M.P., Captain Maxfield, John Nicholson, Esq., of Brigg, Geo. Babb, Esq. ;—on the left by Sir W. A. Ingilby, Bart., M.P., S. Smith, Esq., Colonel Cracrnft, John Bourne, Esq., and other gentlemen. Philip Skipworth, Esq., officiated as Vice-President. The cloth having been withdrawn, The CHAIRMAN gave The King,' three times three. —' The Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Fa mily'—three times three. Captain Ma xeixt.n, in a neat speech, proposed Earl Grey and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers,' theee times three. Join; NrcHor.sorr, Esq. rose amidst loud cheering, and having proposed as a toast, " Lord Ebrington, and the glorious majority of 288," said, It is probably known to you that many of the Tories in this county are giving certain directions to their tenantry,—directions which I consider to be given in violation of the duties which they owe to society ; and whatever may be the result, I would say, for God's sake let us keep from the vote by ballot ; I admire it not ; but if at all events we should ultimately be compelled to resort to the ballot, it cannot surely be charged upon us reformers that we are the cause of such an expedient being adopted--(Loud cheers.) I think the ballot objectionable : it is not in my opinion calculated to accord with English feelings and English habits, for who is the man who if a candidate for any office does not wish to meet the honest faces of his constituents, shake them cordially by the hand, and thank them for the honour of their support?—" Lord Ebrington, and the glorious majority of 288." Three times three upro►rious cheers. The CHAIRMAN next gave, "The Hon. Charles Ander son Pelham." The toast was drank accompanied by three times three hearty cheers. The Hon. C. A. PELHAM, in returning thanks, said, Gentlemen, the question of vote by ballot has been referred to. I confess Ido abhor the vote by ballot; but I never theless agree with Mr. Nicholson, that if such influence is used—such an influence as is attempted to be exercised in this county—if in this and other counties the honest free holder is intimidated, and prevented from giving his suf frage agreeably to the dicta.es of his conscience—if there are those who will be so blind as to endeavour once more to bring this country on the eve of a revolution—who will again recur to those practices which we have so recently endeavoured to repudiate—who will still endeavour to de prive the people of the right of sending their representa tives to the Commons House of Parliament, we must have recourse to those means which will protect the honest voter in the exercise of that right with which he is invested by the constitution.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I trust you will allow me to repeat, that I did support the Re form Bill which has now happily become the law of the land, from the firm conviction that corrupt boroughs —boroughs generally denominated rotten, such as, for in stance, the borough for which I was returned before I had the honour of representing this county,—a borough con taining only 33 voters—(laughter)—of whom I never saw one—(laughter)—nor even the place itself—(Continued laughter)—l say I supported that Bill from the firm con viction that such boroughs ought to be disfranchised, for the knowledge of the mode in which the representative was elected by a constituency so limited as hardly to de serve the appellation, made me abhor them.—(Cheers.) GEORGE WHITLAM, Esq., proposed the health of Sir William Ingilby.—Three times three uproarious cheers. Sir W. A. INGILBY was received with rapturous cheer ing.—On this occasion I fear I shall hardly be able to ex press in terms commensurate with my feelings those deep emotions of gratitude which I entertain for the very flat tering and kind manner in which you have received the announcement of my health.—(Cheers.) I say at once I do from good experience see the necessity of the ballot.— (Loud and rapturous cheers.) Though none of my friends on the right admire the ballot, and though I may have en tertained the sameopinion in former times, yet the longer I live, and the more experience I have of the nature and frailty of the human mind, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact, that if you intend the people to be free, they cannot be so without the ballot.—(Continued cheers.) Gentle men, I now see no cause for hesitating any longer in the course to be pursued, whatever I may have done before,. the light has shined through me so radically on the sub ject—(Loud laughter)—of liberty, that I would have the peasant whose freehold is stated at 40s. as free and inde pendent as my Lord Brownlow with his 40,0001. a year. —(Cheers.) I have told my friends that I am travelling about with certain books—but, mark you, certain books of great autho:ity. The writer in the Age says he defies me to find one case of a pension being received by any person connected with this county. Now I can find one case, and I do not know whether I shall not find another very well.—(Loud cheers.) I will start with a good mao—s pious ecclesiastic—l will ask you why that great and magnanimous churchman in this county, no less a man, I believe, than the Archdeacon of Lincoln—why I find him in this celebrated book booked for 1,3501. a year, namely, a pension of 8001., anal a little sweetmeat for keeping state papers, of 550/. per annum more.--(Loud cheers.) Now Ido not know whether it becomes a mighty and haughty ecclesiastic of the Church of England—a man who enjoys the title of very reverend --(Laughter)—to be thus eating your taxes. I believe I am not under any mistake—the Charles Goddard I see is, I believe, the same man whose services to the state never can have merited such pay, and which, when the spirit called him to the church, ought to have been given up.— (Loud laughter, cheers, and " RIGHT, Sir William.") But there he is recorded for 1,350/. per annum in the Black Book : he ought to be recorded in one other, namely, the one kept by St. Peter.—(Loud laughter.) It now only remains for me to thank you for the respectful attention which I have received, and to assure you, that whenever the time arrives when I shall be again called upon to serve you, depend upon it I shall discharge any duty to you as faithfully and conscientiously as I possibly can.—The Hon. Baronet concluded amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, which continued several minutes. The CHAIRMAN having read a letter from Sir Robert Sheffield, one of the candidates for the Northern Division of the county, expressing his regret at not being able to attend the dinner, Mr. TENNYSON rose and was received with loud cheer- ing, which lasted several minutes. Silence being restored, the Right Hon. Gentleman spoke as follows :—Gentle men, it has frequently been my lot to address public assent blieg. I have done so under circumstances of high excite ment and intense anxiety ; but I know not that upon any occasion I ever rose under the influence of feelings more complicated or more everpowering.—(Loud cheers.) It is now nearly thirteen years since I had the honour of a '- dressing any public meeting within the walls of this borough. 1 can assure you, gentlemen, that I have during the whole of that period retained the attachment, the af fection, which I formerly expressed towards you : they will rem tin with roe to the latest period of my life.—(Loud cheers.) I had the honour of being returned to represent the borough of Great Grimsby in two successive Par liaments. Introduced to it by an ancient and imme morial connection in consequence of the property be: e and in the neighbourhood, which has descended to us through many generations, there was be tween you and myself a sympathy of feeling,--a community of interests. I trust I was diligent in the discharge of my dtrty as your representative in Parliament cheers)—but if I were so, it was no effort to me, because I feel that our interests were identical. I was actuated also by a higher and more elevated sentiment —by the recollection of that ancient connection to which I have referred,—by the associations of my early youth--- and, above all, by a lively remembrance of those various testimonies of disinterested kindness and regard which, (luring my political connection with you, I received front all clac+es within this borough, even from my opponents. --(Loud cheering.) I am deeply touched to find, afer so long an interval, that your feelings are unchanged towards me—and to have been received by you this day with so much unequivocal kindness. I am also most highly flat tered that my name should have been recommended to you on this occasion by a ft lend whom I so highly value and esteem as the lion. Baronet who proposed my health to I gratified your notice ; bu t still more am you have d o n e me t h e h onour to net nt by the cordial dation,—(Lood cheers.) If t h ere b e one i n i r s t r ir o i c er om in men feelings towards the in dependent burges ses of the borou gh of Grimsby more tha n matter which excites toy grateful another, it is this,—and it will remain with me to the latest period of my existence,—that by their partiality I more wo r thil y h ave tilled —and that, although undoubtedly was first ( N seat—(No, n r o o ot d ,h u ea c ri e sl d d( i , no public life, the might h cheers)—l was by them enabled to aid in redeeming the liberties of my country. Never shall I forget, gentlemen, that by your generous kindness I was first placed in the station where I could contribute my humble efforts—feeble they were, but most earnest— to uphold the honour, the glory, and the power,—the prosperity and the happiness of the nation to which I be long.—(Loud cheers.) I trust, gentlemen, that we have succeeded in placing all these upon an imperishable foun dation ;—that foundation is, and can only be, the affection and confidence that can alone arise from the consciousness of possessing as large a measure of civil and religious liberty as is consistent with the equal rights of others.—(Con tinned cheering.) Liberty does not consist alone in good laws,—but in the freedom from more restraint than is absolutely necessary in a state of civil society. This is civil liberty. But there must also be a political security that those blessing will endure. That security we have achieved together with the power of redressing all abuses which time had introduced into our establishments ; we have achieved it also without a political catastrophe.— (Cheers.) The British nation with one voice declared it would accomplish that end, and here we are assembled to rejoice over it. Public opinion alone for a length of time upheld the civil liberty of our country,—for we were in the hands of a selfish aristocratical faction. If that faction had dared—but they dared not—(Cheers) —to destroy the liberty of the press, there would have been an end of all other liberty in this land !—(Loud cheers.) The press alone maintained that public opinion which operated upon the fears of those who held the power of the country in their hands, and the people by these means—and these means alone—are now victori ous.—(Continued cheers.) Did I say, gentlemen, that all our liberty would then have been lost? No !—there was the strength of our arias,—those arms would have been employed in the sacred right of resistance if it had been attempted, as they ever will when any man or body of men shall dare to invade the liberties of our country.— (Loud cheering.) But, thank Gad, we escaped from such a convulsion 1 thank God, we have passed the crisis, and here again, I say, we are, in peace rejoicing over our work. —(Cheers.) We—the people—are at length restored to our rightful power of aiding in the enactment of laws and the imposition of taxes.—(Continued cheers.) We—the people—at length have recovered our due share in the go vernment of the country,—that government which exists a'one for the benefit of the people, and which, if it did not exist for their benefit, would have no other pretence for any existence whatever.—(Cheers.) We therefore at length by these means hold the resources of our country at our disposal, and we shall henceforth have our due share in directing ite energies.—(Loud cheers.) Let us be grateful for this great and signal blessing. It was achieved by the advance of the human mind,—by the progress of human intellect acting Upon that manly, sound, and rational character which peculiarly distinguishes our nation. A vast change has taken place through out Europe in the moral conditio❑ of mankind : they begin to see—for the light his broken in upon them—the chains with which they have been encompassed by the mercenary, the selfish, the doini listing ambition of individuals. Fearful revolutions are at hand in other countries, and all things combined to menace it in this, when it pleased God to put an end to the Tory administration—(Laughter)—by that vote to which my Hon. Friend Mr. Pelham has referred as his first vote, and which did him so much credit?—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of Wellington and those who had caused the hurri cane, dared not face it when it approached. Much as we owe to that illustrious warrior—deep as is our debt of gra titude to him for the glory lie has shed upon our coun try—l do not believe that, amongst all his distinguished achievements, there is any one occasion upon which we ought to be so grateful to hint as when, after all his con quests, for the first time he ran away !—(Laughter.) Yes, ran away ! fir he dare not face the frowns of the people of England.—(Cheers.) He left us in the hands of an aristocratical foe Lion which had long usurped all the pow ers of Government. A few individuals held the law and the constitution within their grasp. They dictated to the crown, and treated the people with contempt.—(Loud cheering.) If the King desired to yield to the entreaties of the people by dismissing a Government which was deaf to their grievances, and hateful to them, he found his prerogative had become inefficient, for a combination of Boronglimongers defeated and defied the Royal authority.—(Cheers.) The resources of the country, instead of being employed to advance the moral and politi cal welfare of the nation, were lavished in pensions, sine cures, and otherwise, to purchase the subserviency 01 a de generated and corruptible Legislature. Money taken from the pockets of the people was thus employed to enslave them.—(Cheers.) Such is the condition from which we have escaped. This escape—this redemption—we have this day met to celebrate ; and the people of England never assembled on any occasion when national joy was more justifiable.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it has pained me to find, that in effecting this measure of Reform, it has been found necessary to deprive this ancient borough of one half of the power it heretofore possessed in the legislature. Grimsby happened to fall within that line which the Go• verument thought fit to establish. If the line had bee❑ flexible, its rising commerce would have pointed to it as a fair exception ; but notwithstanding all our efforts, it was found impossible to save it. But let us not complain if, upon the whole, we are deriving more benefit in return; it with one member in Parliament, such a man as the lion. Gentle:lo in who sits near me—(Captain Maxfield) —if, I say, you are hereafter to derive more advantage from that one representative than in all ages past you derived from two, where is the ground of complaint?— (Cheers. ) I trust, that as you have now only one mem ber to elect, you will take care that he be a good man—a man who loves the people—a man who is devoted to the people—in one word, that which the times require—a patriot. To do tfiis, exercise your franchises freely— listen to no man's threats, to no man's entreaties; listen only to the dicrates of your own consciences. Thus, and thus alone, can you discharge the trust reposed in you ; thus alone can you fulfil your duty to the country.— (Loud cheers.) If every elector will do this, we shall speedily see whether or not every abuse will be removed by the energy of a Reformed Parliament. You will prove your independence. But with all deference to those gen tlemen who have expressed a contrary opinion—and I was one of u mind n those o h se a , w a l t io le f i t t u g r t m h e formerly deprecated e nedto the the conviction v ote by ball that o ballot— my e only protection for the honest but poor or dependent voter is the ballot.—(lmmense cheering.) When I see the manner in which a system of intimidation operates 1 throughout this county and e lsewhere, I have come, de ' finitely to this conclusion, —that nothing but the ballot can efficiently protect us --(Continued cheers.) My Hon. Friend (Alt.. Pelham) has expressed his objection to it. He is a young man, and with his talents and enlightened mind,—confident, as I am, that he will ever act conscien tiously,-1 do helieve that he at last, and at no great dis tance of time, will become a convert to the badot.— (Cheers.) We are now to try the effect of the new con stituencies without it. If the electors discharge their duty, we shall speedily witness a reform of those abuses which disfigure the Church establishment—(Cheers) —a commutation of tithes—(Cheers)—a redress of the evils attendan t upon the processes of law, both with respect to the expense and delay,—a mitigation of the horrors of the criminal code,—an abolition of slavery throughout the Bri tish dominions—(Cheers)—and a repeal of all those taxes which affect the health, comfort, or intellectual improve ment of the people, while due protection will, I trust, at the same time be given to the interests of the agri cultural population—(Loud cheers.)—and all the other great interests of the country. I have only a few words more to address to you, gentlemen, and they shall simply relate to the duties which all who are elec tors for this county, and you who are electors for Grimsby, will shortly have to discharge. The King and the Government have given you the means, if you choose to employ them, of electing men for your representatives who will establish for ever the liberties of our country, and redeem us front the evils which still afflict us. This division of the county is to return two men, and this borough one. Candidates for both are before you. Of one, my valued friend and you's, Sir W. Ingilby, it is un necessary for me to say much, but I cannot resist the satisfaction which I feel in expressing my humble opinion that he of all the men I know might be selected as one of the most honest, unflinching, uncompromising, incor ruptible patriots in the House of Commons.—(Loud cheers.) But I see here—l have seen elsewhere—that his name alone is a triumph, and front the enthusiasm which everywhere attends upon him, if I had no other means of judging, I should perceive at once that he will be again returned as your representative to Parliament. In deed, we should disgrace ourselves indelibly if we re turn any other man in his place ; but as there is no man in the field against him except an Anti Reformer, it is unnece s s ary that I should a dd anot h er wor d to you w h o are Reformers, in r e t e e o s t p n e l e n t en to d a n t a it y in n o o f n. n i ii rien l I d l. ho l'r ,, i i e t ud : — (Cheers.) With near i r we (1L•. Pelham), I do think w e s h ou ld equa lly dis credit ourselves if it were possibl e t o su pp ose th a t we cou ld pass him by on th e p resent occas i on. H e h as been but a short time in the House of Commons, but the votes which he has given there, like those of the lion. Baronet, are of more value to the people of England than all the votes of all his predecessors in all the Parliaments that ever existed.—(Loud cheering.) It would then be ungrateful on our parts if we did not give hint u ur best sup • port. Although on the question of vote by ballot, and , perhaps sonic other points, there may be some matters of difference between us, yet I applaud his caution as a young • legislator ? and I am persuaded we shall hereafter agree, 1 Let us then re-elect these hto men, and ;( either of them deceive our hopes, let us discard him hereafter. With re gard to the representation of this borough, I must say that I know of no man upon the short acquaintance I have the honour to have with him, who appears to me to offer him self in fairer pretensions than does the Honourable Gentleman upon my left (Captain. Maxfield). I have received from a private friend of his and mine, the highest testimonies of his character as a gentleman, a man of business, a patriot, and a man peculiarly fitted for the representation of a commercial com munity. Everything I have seen of him confirms this recommendation, and I cannot entertain a doubt that the Hon. Gentleman is eminently fitted for your service. When I mention the name of the individual who addressed this recommendation to mi., it will be a better guarantee to you than anything I could say—it was Joseph Hume.•— (Loud cheers.) I trust, therefore, you will have no dif ficulty at the coming election in providing fit guardians for your public liberties. Gentlemen, I am ashamed for having trespassed so long upon your patience.—(Shouts of "go on," and cheers.) No,—you have already indulged me too largely ; other gentlemen are anxious to address you, and I must not take further advantage of your kind ness; hut it rekindles those sincere feelings of affection and regard which have never left my bosom. They sub sisted between our forefathers, and it is gratifying to reflect, that while they are sleeping in peace together within the walls of this ancient town, we their descendants are here interchanging pledges of reciprocal good will.— That good will, I feel satisfied, will endure between us : may it descend to our latest posterity !—may they inherit with it that noble and disinterested patriotism which we would transmit to them ! Thus may they be free—vir tuous—wise—prosperous—and happy,—and contribute to raise the British name to the highest elevation of national glorv.—The Right Hon. Gentleman was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his speech. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Lord Yarborough, the Recorder of the borough.—(Three times three.) The Hon. C. A. PELHAM returned thanks on behalf of his father. Mr. STAruvroti SMITM proposed the health of the Deputy Recorder. Mr. NICHOLSON returned thanks in an eloquent speech. Captain MAXFIELD proposed the health of Mr. Skip worth, of Laceby.—(Three times three.) Mr. Sxrewoitxx returned thanks in the course of a long address, wherein he touched upon several of the most glaring abuses which distinguish our public institutions.— Some of Mr. Skipworth's ob,ervations are given in our extract of the Chronicle leading article. Sir W.I. INGILBr next proposed the health of the Mayor of Grimsby. The Mavoa returned thanks amidst loud cheers. The Hon. C. A. PELHAM then proposed the health of Dr. L'Oste and the Reformers of Louth.—(Three times three.) Dr. L'OsTE returned thanks and was warmly applauded. Mr. SKIYWORTH next proposed the health of Captain Maxfield.—(Three timee three.) Captain MAXFIELD returned thanks in a long and elo quent speech. He concluded by proposing the health of George Babb, Esq. _ Mr. BABB returned thanks. Mr. Louis TENNYSON-Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, with your permission I shall have great pleasure in pro posing a toast, which 1 am sure you will drink with much enthusiasm. We owe to the efforts of the public press the triumph of that great measure which to-day we have met to celebrate. The liberty of the press is identified with the liberty of the people,—or I should rather say, and probably I shall not be hazarding an individual opinion, that the permanence of the liberty of the people under any form of government is dependant on the liberty of the press —(Loud cheers.) Mr. ROBINSON TAYLOR returned thanks in behalf of the Stamford News. Mr. Alderman Lusav-31r. Chairman and gentlemen, I beg to propose to you the health of a gentleman who is a sincere friend and kind landlord. I give you " The health of George Tennyson, Esq. of Bayons Manor."— (Three times three rapturous cheers.) _ _ After a few words from Mr. SKIPWORTII, highly com plimentary to Mr. Tennyson, The Right Hon. C. TENNYSON rose amidst cheering, and spoke as follows :—lt is well known that since I had the honour of representing this borough in Parliament, I have been engaged elsewhere in fighting a great aristocrat within the precincts of this county—a Noble Marquis who thought fit, because many of his tenants, animated by the feeling that, being invested by the Constitution with the elective franchise, they were bound to exercise it indepen dently and agreeably to their consciences, to exterminate their families, to unhouse them, and to drive them into the streets, or the very fields, to seek their livelihood where they could find it.—(Shame, shame, shame.) 'When I expressed my strong disapprobation, a charge was brought against my father, that when I presented myself as a can didate to represent this borough, and several of his tenants voted against me, he thought fit to pursue a line of con duct similar to that of the Marquis of Exeter towards his tenants at Stamford, who voted Agreeably to their con scientious feeling.—(Cheers, and No, no.) Gentlemen, if he had done so I should not now have heard his health proposed in this company, much less received as it has been. I state it in the presence of this assembly, where any ma❑ may contradict one if I am stating that which is incorrect—(Loud cheers)—that it never did occur, and never will. Never did he show the slightest disfavour to any man for any vote he had given even against his own son—and his feeling is so strong on the subject, that I think he is almost inclined with myself, and with many honourable friends near me, to be a convert to the ballot, although he may not yet have adopted a decided opinion respecting it.—( Loud cheering.) I will not detain you longer otherwise than simply to return my deep acknow ledgments for the honour you have done nay father—an honour of which he will be as deeply sensible as I am.— (Loud cheering.) The Hon. C. A. Pam Lust proposed " The health of Mr. Marshall, of Grimsby."—(Three times three.) Sir W. Ilialefty—Gentlemen, I have a few remarks to make, and as I know there are several gentlemen who are desirous of communicating their sentiments to you, 1 will not trespass long upon your time. At the instigation of a Noble Lord's tenants, I was induced to write to the Earl of Scarborough. I did not obtain from the Noble Earl any reply. But although he did not answer my communication, I presently discovered what his opinions were ; and when he stated himself to he rather inclined to favour the elea ion of my Hon. Colleague Sir Robert Shef field, he added at the sa►tse time, that his tenantry were perfectly at liberty to vote as they pleased.—(Loud cheers.) Upon this declaration of his tentiment', I received the pro mises of votes from a considerable number of that Lord's tenantry.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I believe that another Noble Lord connected largely with this division of the county has gone a step beyond the Nobleman whom I have already introduced to your notice. He not only takes a part—an active part here—but I believe he has even given his orders in writing that we shall not canvass his tenan try. This shows the opinions of Earl Brownlow— (Shame, shame)—when gentlemen are told upon a canvass that they are not to venture even to ask the freeholders for their votes.—(Shame, shame.) To what a pitch of degra dation must freeholders be reduced when they are told that they must not be canvassed for their votes ?—(Tre mendous cheering.) It is, indeed, something more than monstrous that a man dare write so gross a libel upon the liberties of the people. I shall now propose " The health of Mr. Heneage, of Hainton, a liberal and kind landlord, and a good constitutional Reformer.—(Three times three.) Mr. Sicirwomit proposed " The health of the Hon. G. Pelham."—(Three times three.) The Hon. C. A. PELHAM returned thanks. lie said,— Gentlemen, 1 wish to make a few observations on what has just fallen froin the lion. Bart. in connection with something which it has been reported lie stated at Louth respecting the conduct of Lord Brownlow. He stated, as I understand, that if I had asked leave to canvass his lord ship's tenants, I deserved the answer which I received. Now I am free to admit that I did ask his Lordship's leave (by addressing hint the usual circular) to canvass his ten ants, conceiving that his Lordship would not interfere. I felt certain he would refuse his sanction, but rather than his tenants should suffer, I deemed it prude nt to write to his Lord s hip. I have since called upon his Lordship's tenants to know whether they were at liberty to promise me, for I told them I dare not solicit them without his Lordship's sanction, and frotn the information I received I believe hardly one of his tenants will vote at all. Sir W. INGILEY-After what has been stated I shall take the liberty of putting one question of my Hon. Col league. I will ask him whether he was refused by the Noble Lord (Brownlow) to canvass his tenantry? Mr. PELHAM—I have no hesitation in answering the question. Lord Brownlow 's answer to my letter was this, as near as I can recollect, that his tenants were to give ;dumpers to Sir Robert Sheffield; therefore he could not allow any other candidate to solicit their votes, and that consequently lie could not sanction my ponsn it e 'i aa sl can vass them. Mr. T E NNYSON—Gentlemen, a l n t r o ise pro u for which I am sure you will forgive me, and with the a by companysev several t o e :* 11. e fo Gentlemenr tn r, at t s especially i al y enemy leave of your respectable Chaim, toast which of late it has become very unusual p to give in Friend the Worthy Baronet is present, who has been held whereto the ny C h l u re fe n h . toast —ulsa tstahlishtnent. 'the fact is, that so far from my MO. Friend the worthy Baronet being an enemy to the Church, he is, on the contrary, with me most anxious, and it is an object nearest his heart, to strengthen and support it. He wishes to make it subservient to the spiritual wants of the people, to provide an active and pious minister in every parish, to effect an equitable distribution of the goods with which the Church is endowed, instead of be ing accumulated and appropriated in the most lavish man ner for the benefit of a comparatively small number of in• dividuals, whilst the working parish priest is too often nearly reduced to the condition of a pauper.—(Tremen dous cheers.) It is the object of my Hon. Friend to re move this scandal, an object in which I most cordially concur. Gentlemen, I give you " the health of the Rev. Mr. Powell."—(Three times three loud cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Powxm. ro‘e—Mr. Chairman and Gen tlemen, I thank you most cordially for this very distin• guished testimonial of your kindness and esteem; a testi monial so flattering as to make me feel a sense of my own unworthiness. I trust, however, that lam deserving of what you have given me credit for, namely, consistency of character and attachment to the cause of liberty in Church as well as in State.—(Loud cheers.) I have never wished to live upon the industry of the people.-- (Cheers.) I wish to attain an honourable distinction in the cause which I have undertaken to advocate; at the same time I am anxious to receive a remuneration com mensurate with my diligence and usefulness as a minister of the church.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I indulge in the sanguine hope that there are hundreds in this country who are equally anxious with myself that some change sli4r.;;(l take place in the ecclesiastical government of this country. —(Loud cheers, and shouts of " there are thousands.") I do not wish to rob another man to enrich myself, but I am anxious to obtain an equal share with others of those emoluments which are amply provided for those who are zealous and earnest in their endeavours to promote and ex tend the cause of real religion.--(Loud cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers, and shouts of " a truly good parson," " an honest reformer," " that's the parson for U 2." Mr. SKIPWORTII gave as a toast, " Good landlords and grateful tenants." The CHAIRMAN gave " The Ladies of Grimsby."-' Three times three. Mr. TENNYSON rose—Mr. Chairman anti gentlemen, I beg to propose as a toast, " Prosperity to the Corporatioe and Electors of Grimsby, and may they maintain that in' dependence and public spirit which have ever distinguishd. this borough."—Three times three. Mr. LUSBY, the Senior Alderman, returned thanks. The Mayor, accompanied by Sir W. lugilby, Mr. Ter' nyson, Mr. Pelham, Captain Maxfield, and other gentle' men, then retired amidst loud cheering. Mr. Srtrworwr was then elected to the chair, an i ii under his abl e aus pi ces th e conv i v i a lity an d h armo ny ° l l the evening was protracted until " Morn stood tiptoe on the misty mountain top."

The Earl of ERROL has returned to 0 residence in Richmond Palk from Brighton, where bi' Lordship, by the command of the KING, has been survey' ing the progress of the works at the Pavilion. Lord STANLEY, only son of the venerab l ' Earl of DERBY, whose eightieth year has been just ale' brated at Knowsleyv, is perhaps the oldest heir-apparent the Peerage, his Lordship having entered his fifty-sevent' year. Tlie!e are now four generations of the Noble bolt' of Derby surviving—the Right Hon. Secretary f o r Ire land having an infant family by his lady, a daughter 1 , Lord SKELMERSDALE. The advanced age of Lord Dead, is understood to be one of the causes of Lord STANLK retirement from the representation of Lancashire at tb approaching election. The Earl of GUILFORD is one of th wealthiest of non-resident pluralists.
