The Constituents of Mr. CANNING, at Liver . pool, feeling anxious prior to hisleaving this coun try to offer to him the tribute of their gratitude for the services which he has rendered to them as their Representative in Parliament, invited him, as our Readers may remember, to dine with them before he should proceed to - India. The invita tion was accepted, but the Right Honourable Gentleman suggested that it might be more con venient for them to meet after the Parliament had been prorogued, than while the Session was yet in progress, and it was finally resolved that the dinner should take place on the thirtieth of August. Considerable interest necessarily attach ed to a dinner on such an occasion ; and that in terest was not a little augmented by the specula tions which have for some time been afloat ill consequence of a late mournful event. The ap plication for tickets in the week before the festi val exceeded all thatwhad been anticipated.— More than three hundred were applied for over arid above the number that could be accommo dated ; and considerable sums were offered, but in vain, for tickets, which were no longer to be obtained at any price. The Gentlemen from the Loitdon Press, who are generally exempted from the most rigid regulations of this sort, could not be accommodated with tickets at any price.— It was, however, at length managed that places should be secured for them immediately on the cloth being removed, a favour which many of the most respectable persons in the neighbourhood had solicited in vain. At first they,were re quired to promise that they would not publish the proceedings in a London Paper before Tues day, but this restriction was 'subsequently re moved, as we were informed, at the request of Mr. CANNING. On Thursday and Friday Li verpool had to boast of an extraordinary number of arrivals. On the latter day nothing was talk ed of in the town but the Dinner to Mr. CAN NING, and it was not a little remarkable that but one feeling was manifested on this subject, that of satisfaction and good will towards the Right Hon. Gentleman in honour of whom the festival was announced. A deputation of 'Gentlemen left Liverpool in the morning td wait on Mr. CANNING, at the house of Mr. GLLDSTONE, at Seaforth, with the following Address, which had been voted by the parties subscribing it, (some of them active opponents of Mr. CANNING at the last and preceding elections), and those whom they were authorised to represent : TO THE RIGHT HON. GEO. CANNING, .&c. SlR—Having been deputed by the Associated Commercial Bodies of Liverpool to convey to you their respectful acknow ledgments for the various and important services rendered by you to this town whilst you have been its Representative in Parliament ; we have much pleasure and satisfaction in pressing the deep sense they entertain of the obligations you have imposed upon them by your constant and zealous atten tion to their interests; by the kindness and impartiality with which all applications for your assistance have been received ; and by the prompt exertion of your splendid taws, in the promotion of every object in which the character and prospe rity of this great commercial community, have been involved. We therefore beg to tender you their most grateful and hearty thanks, accompanied by their best wishes for your fu ture health and happiness. , We have the honour to be, very respectfully, Sir, Your most obedient humble servants, . (Signed by) GEORGE IRLAM, Chairman, , CHAS. LAWRENCE, Deputy Chairman,' of the West India Planters and ;Merchants' Association ; ALEX. MACGREG OR, 'Chairman, WM. RATIIBONE, Deputy Chairthan, American Chamber Of Commerce; THOS. CASE, Chairman, JOS. SANDARS, Deputy Chairman, Underwriters' Association; . - ROBT. GLADSTONE, Chairman,- THOS.

HIBBERSON, Deputy Chairman, East India Association ; FRAS,JORDAN, Chairman, - • DAVID HODGSON, Deputy Chairman, Irish AssoCiation ROB. GLADSTONE, Chairman, THOS. MOORE, Deputy Chairman, Baltic Association. Liverpool, 27th August, 1822. On the party arriving- at Mr. GLADSTONE'S, they were ushered into an apartment, where Mr. CANNING received them with that politeness and altability.by which he is so highly dis tinguished. After the usual complimentary greetings, the above Address was read. Mr. CANNING, on hearing this Address, and the names.sub ' joined, was so overpowered, that tears burst from his eyes, and his feelings almost deprived him of all power of expression.— He assured the Gentlemen, after some pause, that he felt highly gratified at receiving this unlooked for, and, he feared, unmerited, mark of their kindness, and declared, that where ever it might be his lot to pass the remainder of his days, the recollection of this honour should be affectionately and grate• fully preserved. The Gentlemen who waited on him with•the Address were not a little affected by the emotion which it called forth on the part of the Right 'flop, Gentleman. They shortly took their leave, and returned to Liverpool. It was determined that the dinner` should take place .in the News-room at the 'Lyceum in Bold-street, which was accord ingly fitted up with great taste and splendour for the occasion: A place over the door was fitted up for the Band, and the spaces between the pillars of the portico in Bold-street were closely boarded up, to guard against the inconvenient pressure of the too anxious multitude, and to secure the close examina tion of all tickets that might be tendered: A considerable body of the police attended during the whOle of the 'afternoon. Nine tables were laid in the News-room, which, it was con sidered, would accommodate 420 persons. Every seat, those excep!ed which were reserved for particular individuals, was occupied before the arrival of Mr. CANNING. • Air. CANNING came - ------------------- a few minutes before six o'clock, accompanied by Lord W. BEN TiNcx, Lord G. BENTINCK, Mr. K. FI/41.1LAY, of Glasgow, and other Gen tlemen. lie was received at the entrance of the building with loud shouts by th e p o p u l ace , b u t on entering the room, ie met with a reception which blended manifestations of ~ the sincerest affection with the most 'enthusiastic admiration. The Right Hon. Gentleman, accompanied by the Chairman of the day, proceeded to the head of the centre table, when he took his seat on the right of the President (Mr. 11. 11. HOLLINSHEAD) amidst the continued acclamations of all present. The cloth removed, " Nan nobis Domine," was sung by a corps of Liverpool vocalists. The Chairman then gave, " His Majesty the King, Duke of Lancaster," with four times four. The toast was welcomed with shouts of fervent applause, fol lowed by the prescribed number of hearty cheers. The Anthem of " God save the King" was then sung, the whole company joining in chants, The succeeding toasts were given in the order in which 'they Occur I-- 1 " His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, an 4 the rest of the Royal Family.". " The Army and Navy of the United Kingdom." " The House of Brunswick,_ and-May they never forget the principles which seated them on the Throne of these reahns." " His Majesty's Ministers"—three tunes three. The CHAntristAN now addressed the meeting. He had no doubt the company anticipated the toast which he was about to give. He also anticipated that it would be drunk with ae , clamations and enthusiasm. - However flattering it might be to them, as the friends and the constituents, of their Right Hon, Representative, to see him selected to take upon himself the administration of the Government 'of British India, the most important of our foreign possessions in point or territory, as well as with regard to our mercantile interests, they could not but regret that they must separate. It was true that on the right administration of the government of India, the happiness of millions must depend, together With the future success of our countrymen in their intercourse with that country. Still he might be allowed to ask, would it not have been possible to have guarded those interests, by sending out some other high character, and thus avoided the necessity of withdrasiing from this country its most enlightened and most experienced 6`tates , man—(Applause)-and from the lionse of Commons (the boast of Englishmen), its greatest - ornament and most eloquent orator? He would indulge the: hope that circumstances yet arise to detain the Right Honourable Gentleman in Eng.. land, and preserve him to his present constituents.—(Ap plause.)—With these few observations he would takethe Jiberty to propose— ' "Our highly distinguished'Representative, the Right Hon. George Canning, with our cordial thanks to him for his emi nent services ; our -- deep regret for his separation from 'us ; and our sincere and heartfelt wishes for his health and liappi— ness." - This toast was.marked to be drank with three times three, but the enthusiasm of the assembly carried them with loud huzzas to nine times nine. 31r. CANNING rose,. and the acclamations were renewed.— Some minutes elapsed beforelie could speak, from the enthu siastic huzzas which continued to burst forth from the whole of the assembly. Silence being at length restored, he addressed the meeting to the following effect : " GENTLEMEN—Often as I have had occasion to expreSs my acknowledgments for the kindness which I have received froth my Constituents, I never rose under feelings so oppressive as those which experience at the present moment. Your kind-. •ness I know from the period when you 'honoured me with your early and unsolicited selection, has continued to grow during the continuance of our connection, but this crowning of the whole at the moment when I appear before you to thank you for the past, and to terminate our connection for the future, is so truly overwhelming that it almost deprives me of the faculty of Making any return for an honour, so justly - prized—(Ap. Planse.)—Gentlemen, let those who doubt of the excellence of the British Constitution look at the scene presented by this assembly. In my case you look upon an individual, who, with out a name or connection in this great community, has suc ceeded in gaining your good opinion, and I hope I may add your affections, by the strait. forward performance of his duty, a duty which it was as pleasant as it was honourable to him to discharge. In a country like this, where a Constitution exists under which such reciprocal feelings can be created and Sustained, there can never be any danger of the establishment of a despotism ; there can never be a prospect that that anachy will prevail, which, while it ruins all those institutions. which are of dational value, goes at the same to the extinc, Lion of all that is dear and venerable in private life. Gentle-, road to o l men, there are other roads- to power and popularity than power those which nay b eI held i)av is ever subserviency,fbl ed and One jt i t e s ure ready by popularity to hold out a remedy for all the evila that may be complained of from time to time. By attributing to the acts of men those calamitieS which milt from the visitations of Providence, and by undertaking to cure all that may. be com plained of; some aim at popularity, told hit the marts at which they aim. But to neither of the courses which I have de scribed have I ever thought it consistent with my duty or my interest to lend myself. I have been viewed as compromising principles which 1 ought to have maintained, because I would not oppose myself to that which in my heart I could not but approve ; and I have been an unpopular representative, be , cause I have always known that the true foundation of popularity is not to be found in flattering the feelings and passions of the people.--(Applause.)—The people are open to flattery as well as kings, but I have always - told them what I believe to be truth, even when to do so was to risk the loss of,popUlarity.--(Applause.)—BUt no sacrifice of truth was necessary togain your favour, and gained, to main tain me in your esteem. I found you a great and an enlight ened community, composed, as might be expected under our free Constitution, of different interests and conflicting opinions. I found that conflict in its result giving teniperance of lan guage with energy of 'action, loyalty consistent with independ ence of feeling, and a sincere love of freedenn, blended- with hatred for -those excesses which have been committed in its name.—(Applause.)--It was by acting on like principles that I sought to gain your good opinion, which I hope I have • ob tained. Sure-1 ian that I have endeavoured to gain it by at tention to those duties which were confided to my care, but more sure I am that no eflort-that no exertion on my part, could be so successful as to merit that strong expression of kindness with which you have honoured me this day.—(Applause.)--:-On former occasions when I have addressed meetings of my Consti tuents, the task which has. devolved upon me has been less dif ficult than that which I have this day to perform. Then I could address myself. directly,to• your feelings on the subject of the course and conclusion of the 'struggle. in which we had been connected. We have met to celebrate victories gained over op. ponents, and we all know that in the celebration of these muni cipal victories sonic excess of triumph is not only pardoned, but allowed by one party to the other: - But dearly as I feel and its I wish it to be'understood I . feel, the past and present kindness of my supporters; 1 am at this moment in a very.peculiar situa tion. The circumstance is glorious to this great town, but 1 now stand in the peculiar situation of not knowing that I have in Liverpool a political enemy.,(Cheering.)—Phave received a deputation of Gentlemen in the course of this day from the associated commercial bodies in your town, with an address ac knowledging in a manlier far exceeding the merit of any service that I have been able to render, my labours during the last Moe years. Looking at the signatures to this address, representing as these signatures do all the interests into which your community is divided, I find that every second name is that of some person who has been actively engaged against me in every election. That I deserve this distinction I cannot pre tend, but that I have received it will to My last hour be a subject of pride and self-congratulation, such as I expected not to find, and l'shall transmit it to my children Us -- a proof that under a free Constitution like that of England, 'a public man has only to do his duty to reap sooner' or later that reward to whicn those who faithfully perform public duties are entitled.—(Ap plause.)-I need hardly say that such a testimonial as. that of which 1 speak while it satisfies the doubts which , I might na turally entertain as to my.competence to exercise functions so delicate as those which were entrusted to me, with the requi site impartiality where interests were to be regarded in some degree alien to each other, and where opinions were directly opposed, disables me from speaking with any thing like acri mony—(acrimony, thank God! I never felt)--of those who are of somewhat adverse politics, and whose efforts, when ne cessary, we must combat as well as we can, but whose hostility here never survived the contest out of which it grew. Ido not know but some of these were among the Gentlemen who did me the honour to wait on me this morning, and while in jus tice to my own polidcal'feelings it is necessary to recapi tulate and "justify the past, I beg to be understood as saying nothing against those, who, differing with me in sentiment, have thought it right to oppose me in every election.—(Applausc.)--1 am enabled to treat the subjects, of which I shall speak with more impartiality in my re trospect, as the great war in which the country was engaged when I first came among you has since terminated. While its success was doubtful, diderent ideas were entertained as to its policy. All differences, however, were eventually drowned in acclamations for the triumph- at its close. In addition to this, however, there were when I first came among you, and there arc still, o great public questions, with respect to which I have frequently taken a prominent part, and with respect to one of which 1 have the misfortune to differ from a great body of my most respectable friends in this town. On the second question I am agreed with the great body of my friends, but, of course, differ from those who are their political adversaries. The subjects to. 'which I refer are the Catholic Question ad DEPTFORD VICTUALLING-YARD, duk.3o, 1822.

The final reductions in all the Royal Dock-yards, to bring them to a permanent peace establishment, have been decided ukon. e. number of workmen and labourers discharged f ro m this dock-yard pi since March last, is about 300 ; about 250 more are to be discharged. These numbers will include the whole of the labourers and scavelmen, whose duties are to be performed by mechanics, during the peace ; so that all the workmen in the Dock-yard retained (18000 will be mechanics. This total number is exclusive of those who work in the woodmills, metal mills, millwrights' shop, and rop ema k ers , i n number about 300 more. When the number discharged has reduced the whole to about 2,200 men, it will then be decided whether the men shall resume working on Saturdays : should they, the numbers will be farther reduced by discharges, until their number is 1800; but if they shall continue to work five days only in the week, the numbers will be reduced by casualties only, until that number (1800) remains. 'The men, afterwards, will be per mitted to work longer hours and earn more money. Last night 50 men were discharged, being the fifth fortnightly discharge, with the addition of ten to the number. AU the future dis charges will be labourers and scavehnen. There arc still 1,000 shipwrights in the Dock-yard. It is Calculated, that eventually, nearly 900 men will be discharged, most of whom, with their I families, it is fearfully apprehended, will become a burden on the parish ofPortsea.—(llanipshire Telegraph.) The Owen Glendower frigate, Captain Hon. R. C. Spencer, passed Portsmouth on Friday, from Madeira, for Chatham. She is to be paid off and re-commissioned. His Majesty's ship Leander, from Trincomalee, arrived at Colombo, February 27, and sailed the 3d of March, for Bom bay. His Majesty's ships Leven and Barracouta, sailed from' Rio the 9th of June, for the Cape of Good Hope. His Ma jesty's ships Rose and Martin arrived at Smyrna the Bth of July, from Salonica.

It is built on a new construc tion, fiat-bottomed, without a keel. It was completely rig ged, which is altogether unusual before launching, and went off in good style. Immediately on reaching the wa tar, having no ballast, the brig got top-heavy," and up set ; the mast, however, fortunately stuck in the mud, and prevented her going completely over, but the whole of the crew on board were immersed in the river. The Medway wa termen, who seemed to prognosticate sonic misliap, were all on the alert, and by their exertions and foresight every in dividual was saved. An accident somewhat similar oc curred at this yard about sixteen years ago, at- the launch of the Aboukir, which was capsized from a defect in the slips, and nearly, as the sailors call it, broken backed : but being overhauled and rigged in the Royal dock-yard at Chat ham, became, though always leaky, one of the fastest first-rates in the British Navy. The following is an Extract from a Letter received from an Officer stationed at Corfu : " CORFU, JULY 13.-When we first arrived in this delect able island" (as represented) our astonishment and disappoint ment were extreme. This station proved, on experience, to be the reverse of desirable, and there were few amongst us that would not have preferred the West Indies; however, habit they say is second nature, and we are, perforce, some what reconciled to it now. The regiment (51st) is at present di vided, viz. three, companies at Santa Maura, one at Paxo, and the remaining four here. It is expected we shall send an other to the former place. This disunion of the corps will continue more than a year. I hope to remain here ; tor, bad as this island is, it is a thousand times preferable to the others. —You may expect me to furnish you with some news of the state of the war between the Greeks a nd th e Turks, but in vain, as the only information we have arrives through the Papers. I believe, in the Morea only, the former have the ad vantage : but this I know, that never was war carried on with Such horrible atrocities and cruelty on both sides. The ac counts you have read, credit me, are slight in comparison with what ha ie actually taken place. Humanity shudders at the bare recollection ! Many of our lads have had severe at tacks of fever and other complaints; at present they are in to lerable health. It appears you have had unusual heat in Eng land for the season, mc:.e so than we have here : the glass has never been above 87 ; but our hottest time is to come."— ( Hampshire Telegraph.) PRICE SEVENPENCE, Parliamentary Reform. Gentlemen, on the former of these I was aware from the beginning, and in the first speech which I ever addressed to an audience of Liverpool inhabitants, I de- Oared that I differed in that from those with whofn on most other subjects I had the honour to agree. I told them that in accepting of my services they m a de choi ce o f one w h o had made up his mind on the Catholic Question, with respect to which, me deference for them could induce him to abate one jot of his ardour in that cause, to which on every occasion, and in and under every variety of circumstances, I have continued to give my support. But, Gentlemen, I have dealt fairly with you ; I have rarelyfailed to deliver rnysentiments on this subject in Par liament, without accompanying them with the declaration, that the sentiments which I avowed as my own were not those of the great body of my Constituents. I did not compromise you, but 1 continued to dilfer from you in pursuing the straight-forward line of my duty; and I have had no reason to regret that I have so acted. If I were to rem a in h e r e , an d to take part in the proceedings of Parliament, my efforts would be continued in the same direction : but after the struggle which has been continued for ten years, as an individual, perhaps I should advise that now, or perhaps after one more general attempt to gain the object contended for, it might not be improper to make a compromise. Stating this, I wish it to be understood that I now feel as anxious for the complete success of the Ca tholic cause as I.have ever felt at any moment of my life. But political conduct is made up of political axioms and of politi cal expediency ; and looking at this subjeetaeitle.a view to the peace of the country, I should feel disposed to make some compromise—to accept what I believe I might gain, and ad journ over for a period, but never abandoning, the demand for the rest: In the House of Commons it is frequently better to persevere in a claim than to talk of compromise. But in the present instance no evil can result from what I am saying, as in a late debate I hinted that from regard to the peace of the Empire, I could be glad if some breathing time were afforded by the adjournment of the consideration of the claims of the Ca tholics, and was anxious to see the general tranquillity se cured by an arrangement, removing all the prominent causes of complaint, and deferring for a season those measures which woeild complete that emancipation which is claimed, and the expectation of which I will never forego. Having thus fairly stated my views with respect to the Catholic Claims, I now turn to the second question With which my name has been connected, Reform in Parliament. My purpose has been mistaken, if it is supposed that I impute to all the advocates for Reform in Par= liament a perfect knowledge of the extent to which I contend their doctrines lead. It is with their doctrines I quarrel, and not with their motives, and I would therefore put, rather argue mentatively than vituperatively, that which I address to those who differ in opinion front me on this subject. I wish those per= sons who think that they have found front recent circumstances a fitting opportunity for pressing this topic, to state to me—to me ! —no ; but to state to themselves distinctly the object which they,. have in view, and the means by which they propose to obtain it. What is the argument in favour of making a change in the House of Cornmons ? The _ar g ument is, that expensive wars—that a long protracted struggle on the Continent have placed the nation in.such a situation that heavy taxes have been imposed, and severe enactments to put down disorder been demanded and obtained. Granting, for the sake of argu tuente that all these things deserve reprehension, let me ask were the measures in question those of the House of Com mons alone ? Does the British Constitution act by a single organ ? Did no other body concur, sanction, or devise any of those measures ? Is there no other assembly in exist-. ence which as far as your judgment goes authorised their adoption and participated in framing them ? If there be an. other assembly acting such a part, then it follows that a Re form of the House of Go' innions must be useless unless a co ordinate reform be effected in that other assembly also.— (Cheering.)—l have, often asked this- question, and I have never yet met with any man who could answer it—ifyou reform the Reuse of Commons„ what will you do with the House of Lords ? If you rill reform the House of Commons, because it began the war with eknierica, and maintained the war with France, sinking for a moment the recollection of the prime ciples in which the American war originated, and forgetting that the war with France was the war of the Option, if I say you reform the House of Commons for these wars, for impos, ing heavy taxes to support them, for enacting laws of severity to repress -disturbance, will you suffer the - House orlsoule, who participated in all, to go free ? If You will not do this, what is your intention with respect to that Assembly, and how is the reformed House of Commons to operate on the House of Lords ? Is it to act by compulsion ? Aye, that is *hat you mean, but it is what you will not say.—(Applause.)—My quarrel with Parliamentary •Reform is not us to the mode or the degree—l object to it in limine, because it goes to establish some other thing than the House of Commons, the tripartite sharer of the 'British Constitution. They wish to work the Constitution by it single instrument, and to remove every ding out of the way of that instrument which might controul or regulate the exercise of its power.—(Cheering.)—l do not ob ject that Old-- Sarum, which has two electors, should have twenty. Let it have two thousand I If those who exercise the elective franchise use it corruptly, disfranchise Old Sarum as you have disfranchised 4irampound. I object to the assertion that the House of Commons does not represent the people, because if you mean by people, the nation (and here is the ern r into which finny fall), I say, having the organs - of the en tire nation in the House of Commons, what room is there for any thing else? The subject of Parliamentary Reform is pressed on me at this moment, because recently a Gentleman respectable for his family, respectable for his private character, respectable for his individual talents, thought proper to rake up the dying embers of this question, and did me the honour in the course of the speech which he addressed to the meet ing at York, to mention my name, with civility but, with surprise, at the part which I have taken where Parliamentary Reform }its been the subject of discussion. Mr. Fawkes, I name him with honour, for a more respectable man does not live, is surprised et I, representing the populous town of Liverpool, should have any respect for close or hod rough representation. I might turn upon this Gentleman with surprise also. Ile commenced his career by complaining of the defective state of Yorkshire representation, and I might expiees surprise that the moment when the Yorkshire Repre-; sentatives were doubled, should be the precise moment which he selects for raising anew the cry of Reform. Having been long lamenting the situati-an of. Yorkshire, and describing her in her destitute state to be weeping " like Niobe" over her nu merous but helpless children, she at length doubles her repree sentation, gets two new liehnitates, and this is the moment which her champion seizes to come forward and complain of the defective state of English representation.• This is to me , surprising. Here, then, is surprise for surprise; but die sure prise of Mr. Fawkes I shall turn to conviction that my conduct ought not to excite surprise. So far from its being extaordi nary that I, representing as I do the second town in the British'. Empire, should take the part I do, I have not the slightest he• sitation in saying that, if I were the Member ter Old Sarum, I should hold my tongue on the subject of Borough representation ; and it is because I can have no personal interest in the question that I feel it my duty to'do what others not similarly circume stanced cannot do with the Same effect—to expose the fallacy of their reasoning who hold out particular blots, the exist ence of which cannot be denied, as that which should move us to change our system altogether, and who wish not to remove the scandal,, but totally to change the na ture of our institutions. Will any Reformer tell me that he proposes to go no further than to effect the removal of the blots admitted to exist ? If he will, 1' am with him. But the Reformers wish to go much farther, and it is not to the mode but to the thing that I object. They are not content that we should continue to have that combined representation oi' every species of property—of eve!) , description of industry which we now enjoy, and which is open to every variety-of worth and talent. It is because they look only to the power of the country, it is because they would act by force and not by reason, and because they would erect a power in the country which if it existed at all must exist alone, that I oppose their scheme in limine, and lend a more impatient ear to the cry raised against particular defects than 1 might otherwise be disposed to incline to their representations.— (Loud cheering.)--Gentlemen, it is said the influence of the Crown in the House of Commons is such as to govern all its decisions. My first answer to this is similar to that which I give to the propositicin - to change our system alto getlicr. 1 would remark, how rarely does the House of Lords differ from the House of Commons. Is then the influence of the Crown so much complained of felt in an equal degree in the House of Lords too ? Take either alternative ; if it be so, would it be well to alter the system of the House of Commons, and leave the House of Lords unreformed ? If the influence of the Crown in the House of Lords is not matter of complaint, why adopt a measure of Reform which would deprive that body of all .power, and entrust the whole working of the British Constitution to a single body, to an untried, un known organ? I believe that nothing can be more in-
