The announcement that Sir Francis Burdett and Sir George Sinclair woUld attend the dinner, gave it additional ,interest and im portance. The room appropriated for the dinner is one admirably adapted fur the purpose, being large and lofty,' and having -also a very spacious gallery. The tickets were ss. cacti, and it may (rive some idea of the interest which the dinner excited, that not a ticket was to be obtained at any price some hours before the dinner hour, and upwards of 900 tickets were sold. The room, which is rather a long and narrow one, was set out wit'' , the President's table at the centre of one side; froin die President's table there were placed three cross tables, and each half of the room was laid out with six long tables.

Wilkins, Esq., were greeted with the .greatest enthusiasm. Sir George Sinclair, who was expected to attend, did not ar rive, The Rev. Mr. Nolan then said grace, and the busy clatter of knives and forks commenced. After the -- ---,- cloth was renicived, "Non nobiS Donline" sill y,. by an excellent, company of gee singers. The entrance of Mrs:;Nturslaml was here loudly cheered.. he Usual preliminaries being gope through, The . CtiArttmAN .ro , e to propose the lirst toast amid loud ch4ring. lie said, he believed that no other chairman was ever so. honoured at a public meeting by the presence of so ma.nyitttelligent,lailles as those.whota he now savv.around him on that occasion. —(Hear.) It was an assurance that their cause . was good who received sitch support. it was gratifyipg when the mothers and sister's cane forward in defence of. that religiOn which had proved so great a blessina and yet hail. Leeti, so much vilified. In every respect they had a right to come forward. He was no advocate for ladies to become poli ticians, but it,was the duty of every christian to do the utmost in hi : : power to stem the tt;rrOt, of that infidel power had been gainin g groun d a mon g them, awl which was caliotiat-. ed to blest the best principles of tuankinil.—kHear.) lie be-, lieved that they were now about to experiemie. the dawn of brig'ht'er days, and that the precepts of our holy religion would be handed down from 11:e parents or the present a•ge to their children anthiliildren's children to future generations. Alter a few excellent observiitiiiis, the chairman gpve the first toast, viz:, " Our most gracious Majesty the Queen, and may she long . . . _ . reign over a happy people, and her advisers become those who have the good of their country and wellbeing of society at heart." —(Loud cheers.) 'Fhe national anthem was sung, in the chorus of which the ladles joined. . . ' Eder Majesty the Queen powager wail the nest toast, which was received with similar honours to the last toast. The CHAIIIMAry then said, that if there was any toast which they held more dear than another, it must he the one he was about to give. - It was. " Our glorious ConstitUtien in Church and State.' • —(Loud cheering.) The next toast was "The Bishop and Clergy of the diocese," which the CHAIRMAN prefaced by a high compliment to the bishop and the iectur of' Stockport. (The toast was loudly cheered.) The Rev. Mr. NOLAN rose to. respond to the toast, he said that the numerous and influential meeting by which he was then sill-wounded, would uoderltand the diffidence he must necessarily feel when called upon fur the 'ask of returning• thanks for the toast they had. honoured by their notice. Had their respected rector been present he would adequately have responded to the sentiments expresSed by the nieelitig;' but however unequal. he .(Mr. Nolan) might .feel himself to echo the rector'ssentimeuts, he was sincerely grateful to thetu he had alludeoi.to. the rector's absence, he might say with truth' that the meeting generally sympathised in the cause of that alisence, it being :a ddmestic bereavement. The rector's exalted character ancf,ccinsistent coarse of life are well known. —The attention which he paid to , the duties of that holy pro fession to Which he had the honour to be a servant, he was sure *as' dole appreciated; but still he was not free trim the breath"ofealuninv. Inasmuch,lioweirer, that the sweetest fruits the bird; pecked at, it' was unnecessary for him to eater into a vindiCatien of his character, as he was sure there was no res potisiVe feeling to the aspersions cast. upon him. (Cile'tsi) Ethic; himself (Mr. Nolan) not immediately in conLecti . on 'with the worthy rector, he could; without the suspicion of in- . iluenCed 'feelings, pay a just tribute to his merits. With re gard.te the bishop, he was equally appreciated. ily r. Nolan) was proud when he .heard the sentiments expressed by the chairnian'toWaids that christian church to which, they were all so deYo'edly attatdied; and his heart leaped for joy to Lind a -kindied'respOnSe in the hearts of those present, from, the appro_ . batipn thOse sentiments had elicited. (Hear.) The,church of En:kland was the great break Water against which the floods of inhdelitY and radicalism were con n catty beating. Ile was one or those humble servants of the gospel, who, an hough clif ferlng in'many respeets fr'ont other sects of christians, would diaeard from the bosom of the Church thoSe who iniglit so (in fer. The pure spirit of the Catholic Church ofEnglapd was - that of toleration. L e t, howe ver . the m e be, as there cas, such defenders or the church, equally d e te rm ined to supfmort its 0"c - . trines as the worthy . chairman and those around him, popel:Y, and infidelity could . make ni, progiess. After a few furthet rernarks, the rev. gentleman concluded by thanking them for the . hlinor confen ed upon the bishop and clergy of the dio -ce4e, and for the enthuSiastic manner in which it had been received. Mr. WlLLtastFanatNCTota, Chairman of the Operative Conservative Association, use to propose the next toast. It was the health of - Major Marsland, th-ir encellent representa tive. He said , that new ,year's day bad been selected to do hoOnur to that gentleman, as, being a holiday, more of his constituents could conveniently attend. They alltnew that the Major had an opponent at the last election, who, if he did'not resort to illegal measm es, to gain • his paint; did most decidedly to un seemly ones. (Cheers.) His party collected together the. operatives of all starts of the lowest grades, and then took a show of hands as to who was the most fit person to represent the-bo rough in parliament.• Boytc , women, and girls were all electors on this occasion., When, however; it came to the poll, they found their mistake out.. The same system.. pursued_ Isafore the election made Mr. Cobden snliar* - of his retain; by a' majority (Laughter.) . The .conservatives made no boast,- but thwi worked, which was much better, and the result had been the, return of their honourable guest. It was Major Marsjand who had stood up as the defender of the operatives' rights, anti soaecure was he of his seat to parliament, that all the Colidens in .the world could not remove him during his lifetime. The spaak.er Allen went on to allude to the system of exclusive deal ing and lutimidation which had been s.lextensiyely resorted to at the election .by the wings against all those who voted. for AlajorMarsland. ,This was a specimen of the liberality of the liberals, which consisted in knocking out a man's brains or burning his house down: It had been said by this party that all. who voted for the Major were either fools or knaves, and if they split their..votes between the two they were downright vil , (cheers.) It appeared that there were a good many of this class oft:lemma, seeing that 303 plumpers voted for him. He concluded. by ;icing "the health of their .clistiaguished guest and staunch conservative member. Major Marslaud, with thanks, to ho far his past services and his late noble struggle for the independence of the borough." (Loud cheers.) Major M nst.aisnahen rose, and was received with tumult uoua applause. He said he was- almost over-powered by' the reception he hadlhat day met with at that magnificent display of conservatism in his wire town. (Applaus e .) And it was more gvatitying to him,' because it prevailed from a class of men—because it was the independent and honest effusion of a class of 'persons the least prepared t o ma k e such a sacr ifi ce. (Hear.) He was q u ite glad that his honourable friend the noble baronet (dnplause4 was there, to have an opportunity to witness and bear testimony that there was in that great utt;nn factoring town, a body of men amongst the labouling commu nity, not cnly ready but detepnined to maintain the monarchy, the constitution, and the religion of this land. • (Great cheer ing.) He then begged to thank them for the honour they.ltail done him by that invitation, and alum) for the matinee in which they had received the last toast ; he was sure that the president of - that association had proposed it in terms far beyond his merits. He had always said, and he said omen, that hit ,endeit yours were inadecriate to the. situation in which the conserva tive constituency of that borough had thought proper to,place him bitt at the time of the passing of the reform bill, when the con stituency of that bOreugh had the privilege given' to them to tho) to send menibets to parliament, he funnel tha t he had a ditty. top'eif orm L.i t was a duty which must fall upon some man eonseritatiye principles, and at that time he saw no man pre pared to come forward and . though lie was not a vain man, at least pot vain' eneugh.to think that he was a proper man, yet he hoped that sd' far as he had ability he had been found an un an iincompromising aapparter of the great conserva titre Cause. (G reat app l ause ) Whether he could satisfy him sel(thm,h was a proper Pers ? an was not for him to say, but wken ,4e „looked upon the manifestation of feeling that day in hiifavor,, and , approval of his conduct, he' could asaure.them th . eo 4 yasolii danger of a ny di tn i t i n ti ouo f his zeal. ,(Applause.) p.rwt. futu to say, that, if his conduct had been satisfactory.to 16341 .. e" and they thought him a proper representative, he -would ever be opposed to the socinjan, papist, and other enemies of their church and their unrivalled constitution. (Great applause.) Ile had intended . to speak on suit; e of the great political ques tions of the. day, but as They doubtless were anxious to hear his worthy friend, the Loaaurarrle baronet, he would not waste tite:r time by any such remarks. The honourable gentleman resumed his seat amid great cheering. T,he AIRMAN then briefly proposed the health of Sir Francis Burdett and the electors of North Wiltshire, mud took ot•casion in the n tine of the ladies present, and that:;rent senbly, to thank him for attending there that day. 'lhe toast was received With vociferous cheering. Sir FHANcts BURDETT then rose, and the cheering was re sumed and continued for some minutes. When he could be heard he was understood to say that if- any man wanted any thing to animate "atd flatter was devoted to the insti tuttons of his country—whowasdevoted to the glorious consti tritium Of 'England—who consid ered as the aim and end of that glorious constitution the freedom and happiness of the people at large; and all other parts of that glorious constitution only as atijUncts tti such cause, t herefore atluded to its suppot t, was to him itanything could he wanted to animate the humblest bosom with a determination to stand or fall by such a state of things. On the eontrary it would he that exhibition of public spirit—it would be that animated manner in which they hail done him the honour to, invite him and to receive hits that dais; and that invitation coming from that Oortitun of the people of England—tbat indus trious foundation of all ihat was great in the country, was to him a h'o'tter of more satisfaction 'and pride,' than ifit had hen from the combinattim of all the greatest men in the country, all alutt,tt greatness depfnded on that foundation, the people themselves. It was an animating sight to see in that room persons of all ranks; degrees, and conditions, all coalescing together in the sane glorious cau'e, and all meeting together in a state of social and of prac t ical freedom, which was never exhibited iu , , and did not exist in any other country on the face of the earth. And 'while they so united the sound sense of the people of EnJand, they set at nought and Leander( with shame those shadow pretenders to patriotism, (great applause,) and thOse itnpudeut self-styled patriots . anti lying impostors that would impose upon the people of the United' Kingdom. (Great ap plause.) They Were happy in living in a state of society which . the experience of many hundreds and hundreds of years hat proved to be exactly he result, that c hat meeting exhibited 6, ' au admiring world, butt which did not exist in any other coun try at the moment that he was addressing theta. ( eiir.) It was not a great while since they 114,1 a person travelling th rough their town, for the purpose of aitempting to 'delude the minds of • the people in that place—a patriot as •he was Called: from Ire- • laud—a paid patriot—he meant Mr. Ranie r i O'Connell. ' ('Laughter and great applause.) ' Dean Swift had said that every t ning done in Ireland wasdifferentfrom that done in every • other part of the World. There was something in what was done there, notonly different but rePrignant to the undeistanding, and is as different as light was to da`rknes at the same time, tie always thought that the presence of the one was the absence of the other, butt in Ireland they tvete the same., ( Laughter.) '('here the crown of inartyrdon could•be : worn without its thorns. - The great patriot; who was supposed to be making great sacri fices to the public, in that country, never forgot the tule of honest lago his prototype. (Great applause.) If he were in - the ministry, he would no more permit any thing in the shape of an O'Connell rent to be raisei by pence from the Starving, people, tha' their forefathers permitted time collection of Peter's pence for the Pope. (Laughter and great applause.) Such rent did not come as a voluntary contribution from English men, but with force anti compuslion front the poor wretches under the intimidation of the priests. from whom they dared not withold if, although, at the same time, they had not a potatoe to pm ioto•their mouths. (Applause.) That rent was collected tinder such dreadful influences, Which he said was a perversion —a sacrileizious perversion of the priestly office—over the ignorant, bigotted people of that country, for the alter of peace was connected with an altar ,of treason —(applause)—. and that rent could be called nothing else than a-fund for the soppott and maintenanceortreason im that country.--(Great applaitsie.) But the government some years agii thought it wortha their while, when slavery was more under consideration than at 'present; to put down a certain kind of superstition called Onoersin ' yet this system had spread, and they bad permitted - the plunder and extortion of the priests in Ireland, of the wret ched, enslaved people of that country`.—(Applause.) The first thing with him, if he had the power, would be to emancipate those people from that' yoke; to take front their feet toeir shackles, and give them freedom. Butt certain men, headed by the priests, whose influence they well knew, when they recol lected, that the denutoogue himself falls dpwn on his knee.s lie fore those priests, no doubt to edify his enlightened coontrvineo, __(laughter)—misled and deceived them. It seemed that we at present are in a most extraordinary situation. We have an atiministtation that seemed to have no confidence, no founda- Jim) in any part of the country, anti which, by some strange means or other, exhibited a strange amalgithaation at times, and an inconsistency of principle of an extraordinary description, and a union of characters, amongst whoM were the popish re presentatives who acted under O'Connell, and were known as his tail, with others of a like description, of whom it might he said, as was said of sin, that it was indeed possessed of scaly ohnoin,u,, and like the set pent, armed with many a mortal stica:—(4plause.) But it was impossitile for it to last long. In l!;l3glatttl the, decision w as complete, as was sh o wn by the want of confidence in the present administration.- ,(Ap-, plause.) The persons by whom they were supported, and from whom they stooped to receive 6..41)41, were persons who had no confidence in them; .rte meant not only in their integrity and abi lity, but bad a perfect c o nt e mpt of their imb ec ility, an d yet were I,t he interested dupes of such a set olpersons, who cOuld'ordera ud cancel council's inffience---who.in the 11-ouse.of‘Commons sup ported..the ministry. voted against the great patriot, Waklev, and others of that description,, and in 21 hours after, dind at Conduit [louse, and Then denounced the Whigs as the most de graded people on earth. (Great applause.) Again, lie came back, for he had more changes than Prometheus himself, and supported.the same ministry, and they accepted that support to enable them to carry measures, though_ from their internal weakness they were incapable of themselves of carrying one measure—and of framing a measure that wonid.operate in and way beneficial to the country, for they had not. passed one that had not failed in operation. Even aftercvming .opt of the Clouse of Commons, and being improved in the Lords, which they could pass without possibility of risk to the institutions of the country, they had lent. a helping hand to make perfect that which was incapable of being-put into. practice and operation. But look at their present measures, and he wished to know if any one had succeeded. ,Their measure affecting slavery in the \Vest Indies, for which the people.of this - country, to their iin mortal.honor, with hand and voice, raised:2o millions of money for a purpose after all so litle effective, for it seems now they have again the same cry about slavery; and meetings held in, different parts of the country on the, subject. So that in point of f act , t h ou ,,h this country had paid the price, it had.not ob tained amend in view, . Well, then, look at any other, which. were mere experiments but very dangerous ones, andmaile with rashness and presumption, and it itould seem that they had taken tip so many at the same (line that they were not aide to perfect any. Even the East Judia,..measure, which at present they knew nut how it - would act, they had no reason. to suppose would be less dangerous to our . po s se ss i ons i n the part of the. wnrld. Again, there w . ete various attempt s t o re f orm t h e l aws, whin h . certainly ought lobelite first object to which attention should he directed and a piestion above till others in estimation ; bra he a ante 4 to see men who coati,' do their irasn work' end to see effected some measuie which' in its consequenee should he found to operate advantageonsly for all: - IA - pplansel Again, look at what - they had 'done in the cliurch , - , tintl• he' wanted to know who was benetitted by that unsettling - of every thing by these ;alterations, which even were_uncatted for and ag,ittlist the, interests and purposes of those they were -intruded to benc tit-7hti wanted to 'know what poalible good • had' been derived from the alteratiousibey had attade.

What haul it done? Why no!hing but caused - universal discon tent and dissensions.

Anil he could tell them, that administration would not be long supported, 'as was clear and apparent, for all the mon of great :wilily in the country were opposed to them. They had men orability, and of practical experience—men capable of executing, the duties wide h ought to be executed by the present inibevile ministry, but these persons, by' the projects they en tertained, and their adherence: to office, deprived the - cotintry of the beneficial exei else of those talent's, and would not relax t h e i r h o ld o f power till their body fell to pieces, front very weak ness of the party to whom the government of the country was entrusted. Without. caring. much about the present administra tion, except that he wished-to see greater talent. and 'integrity bronght, into the public service—(applause)—they were then in the state in which no ministry dared wake any encroachment on the-liberties of the subject or the constitution.

Drunk with \Vellington liOnotirs. Song- 7 " Old England's glory." TheChaittstars then said that it was with much pleasure that he proposed " The health of. Charles Wilkins, Esq., and the Conservative bar." The toast was drunk amidst loud cheering. Mr. WILKINS then rose, and was received. with continued cheering. He said, gentlemen and brother operatives; or as a certain learned personage whet some time. since, 'had honoured their borough, would term them, "miserable reistnant of an ex piring faction."

Teat was a doc trine which the fathers and founders of British laws would shake in their graves to hear, and a doctrine not to be tolerated in any society in England for one moment. They, would allow him to tell them that the bar, like every other institu.tion in this country, was merely a means to an end. -The bar should be the living commentators of the law, and it was- for them to say whether the old allow a par s im on i ous an d mean legislature F so to strip t rofession of its emol umen t s an d rewards, : as to drive front it onourable men. it hail been truly observed by the honourable baronet who had preceded him—and to fellow him under any circumstances, was no trifling disatelvantail'e—• that they were a nation placed under most extraordinary cir cumstances; that the members of their government, to a certaia extent, the legislature of the world, were men utterly incapable of framing laws. to meet the exigencies of the times—that they had men in office, who, far the Mere sake hf office, -had eon stently surrendered every. principle they, before had held sa cred, and had thrown them overboard at .the demand Of a hete ,rogeuous band or, traitors, (for he. could call them Snotimiroe else,) . and seek for the destruction of every- thin(' thny.held good and great.

What had. they gained since the present. men. camne into power?. They had lost that power which Hol land- had always been inclined to afford them ; they hadae -.moved from the frontiers of Belgium, those fortresses which ages had built, and which the wisdom of their foiefath . ers had thought. necessary to resist the ag,gresSions of political France.

If, he wanted to. find an argument to justify the conduct of. the:conservatives Icarus Ireland, he would point.to Canada. The population of Ireland had been asking rot power, and they had refused , to. grant them it, not because they wished to deprive them .f. the rights of citizens, hut because they. believer!, and with reason, that they were not sufficiently enlightened, advanced, and-mo ral to possess those powets they were so anxious to obtain. Just. .so it appeared to him to have been with .Canada. The legisla ture too early.gave political power. to the uneducated popula tion. , They gave power to men who .by rank and,bv fortune could.possess no claim to legislative .powere What had. been the consequence? What must be the coneequenee ,so. Icing as this world should stand? At.that very moment they were bettling in Order to crush the licentiousness which had been produced by that line of conduct.

JAMES HEALD, Esq ,rose to propose the toast of "Sirßobert Peel and the conservative members of the House of Commons." He had accepted the invitation-of his conservative friends to be present on that interest hie occasion with the deepest gratitude, by whose exertions the character of the borough had been re deemed at the late election by the return of their worths( con servative member, against the influence of a coalitinn which every spit ited mind ought to have denounced. If that coalition had proved successful the brand of tyrann e vavould have placed its hand on the burteogh, and its.indepentlent voice would never have been heard. The government of this comintry had for several years past been agitating, affecting the throne and insti tutions of • the country.. even to the risk of compromising, our glorious constitution which was settled by our forefathers/ and which has stood as our landmark amidst the ocean of politics. lie hoped they would bear in mind the maxim, " Fear God and hononc, the and tne , .htle i t with inett who are given.to change."

This was iine pf •the must.. important prin ciples up o n which the establishment was founded, and upon which he (Mr: Heald) trusted that it would rest secure. (Hear.) It was the bounden..duty. of a .christiaa govern ment to make adequat , . provision For the suPport and propaga tion of christianity. The hold which the establishment bad gained (indite affections of the country had been the best sem rity 'for the preservation of the country at large. Fouuded on the true principles of Christianity, it had been, in a great mea sure, successful against,!he opposition which bad been directed against the principles which they advocated, and by which the establishment hau been preserved in all its efficieucy, and its efforts rendered prosperous. There had 1)0 -a. ary for a system of national education; but he would warn the meeting,. that if the citadel of the establishment could not be taken sword in hand, to .take.care that a breach was not effected in a place where the force of the enemy could pot be stopped.—,(Hear.) If they would give a system of national education, they must take care that it was fteinaed upon the institutions of the coun try, of which the established church and its ministers were the head.--(Cheers ) He was sure the chairman had committed a bye it of "der by entrusting into.bis (Mr. Heald's) hands the toast which he had to propose, as he, was unable to do suffi• cient justice to the merits of the honourable individuals men- Hotted in the toast. • He would give:without. further. preface, "Tire right hon.

Ile.said, he scarcely knevi how to express his senrinients at the kind and flattering manner in which the chair man 'had been good enough to propose his health, or to express his thanks for the very gratifying-reception with which the men tion of his name had been honoured. He thought it was pretty. well known that lie had. never shrunk from the performance Of his duty as an ipdepeulent member of the House.of.Connuolls: and so long as he had the honour of being a member of that house, he would never be found seeking for popularity, as had beers the (anther elsroure s perties. . He hoped, to he enehled•to steer an independent course so long as he continued their re presentative; anti so long as the honour of representing the consesyati yes of South Cheshire was- entrustedao. his hands, he would endeavour to,preserve it unspotted as ever;' and when ever thst day of reekoning, should come he should ever lie found ready to give an irecount ot, his conduct..

(Long and loud cheering.) He must congratulate them moreover on having effaced the. Stigma which the eppearance of the hon. and learned member fur Dublin, at a late dinner, had cast upon that town. (Cheers.) He must confess that tie did feel deeply grieved, when on his 'arrival tit lowu,. be, was asked by Sir .listhert Peel, how-came Stockport, a-town -prominently remarkable-for its loyalty—how came Stockport, where proofs of attachment to the church and state hed•hitherto been-given--how. carne she to lead out a pro cession: with the mayor .and corporation at its head, to meet Mr. O'Connell? (Seattle.) Already_ had the town of Stock-- putt obliterated that •stain—right- well had she retrieved her honour. (Cheers.) .He could now proudly boast of seeing before bier a hand of men in whom the true old English spirit had always been shown, and he was also to see before .him the right hon.:baronet whom he might. with propriety term, a faith- . ful representative of a true old .English gentleman. (Cheers.) He had seen a loyal and liberal band who were firmly bound together in opposition to the enemies of the progress of reli gion. Ile -did not consider that meeting exactly in the light of an electioneering dinner, or as a.tribute, of respect altogether. to , the.honourable conservative member of that town, but he orsidered it as it great demonstration of public• opinion and• public feeling —that public opinion which their opponents once prpfessed to idolize—but, which, since it -has :turned against them, they are ready to. substitute for• that weak popularity, which. they, might g ain i by pandering to , passions which they. ought to restrain. I-le (Mr. Egerton) respected that meeting as.a Public demonstration. Why had• the operative left his ena nefiret.ory? Why hmi,the -tradesman left-his counting-house? Why had they felt it necessary to meet together that evening, at a time and season of the year. when they-generally accustomed tlreuiselves to.enjoy. the converse-of their friends? Why.were' theymet togeth er th a t d a y? W as it n o t in o r d e r to sh o w th a t ti leydrad no con fi dence i n : t h e government of • the country? (C heers.)

He trusted that the first day of the new year which had been ushered in would show more favourable' auspices; anti he biped before long to see a Jinn, strong, and compact conservative government. • (Cheers.)

Theirs was- the cause of order, the church, and religion, against passion, democracy, and infidelity. They must trust to. the power which orders everything for the best; .but he would exhort them to be of good .cheer.

They felt the happy freedom which they enjoyed under proteitant ascendancy ; and there could be no wonder at their earnest de termination, under God, to transmit it to their children in the sar'ne degree of excellence in which they had received it.
