Warranted nut to contain COP RIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. *,* With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness, &c. &c.. containing hints worth knowing by thoSe who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direct his studies to those dis orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, a hich not only occasion a numerous Main of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating itnhecilities of old Age. In that distressing state of de- • bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by whieh the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that de idly poison. Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Sivedour became Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by•the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedyint roduct ion into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long conti nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The H ygeian Pills root nut every particle of insidious poison, puri fying in their. progress the who.emais of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers.. The neither con taiu mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest seispicion of discovery—they require na restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but 'effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Pills, for when taken be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving, the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should forma portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a lung voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due effects on the constitution.

FOR THE BOROUGH (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) On TueSdav evening one of the largest dinners which has been held in Stockport for some time, was givenby the Operative Conservative Association,at the National School Room, Stockport, in honour of the Conservative member for the borough, Major Marsland. The announcement that Sir Francis Burdett and Sir George Sinclair would wiend the dinner, gave it additional interest and im portance. The room appropriated for the dinner is ones admirably adapted for the .purpose, being large and lofty, and having also a very spacious gallery. The ticlets were ss. cacti, and it may give 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 with the President's table at the . centre of one side; - from the President's table there were placed three cross tables, and each half of the room was laid out with six long tables.. : Opposite to the President's table was the gallery, in which were stationed about 300 ladies. Thos. Walmslev, Esq., of Braham Lodge;' occupied the chair; he was chairman of Major Marsland's..election commit tee. To.t he right of the Chairman sat Major irsland, M.P., Tatton Egertoa,, Esq., M.P for North Che shire, 'and James HealiT, Esq. TO the left of the chair man sat Sir Francis Burdett, M.P., Charles Wilkins, Esq., and Captain Hollingworth, of Hollingworth-hall. Amongst the gentlemen present we observed William Hindley, Esq., G. T. Knowles,. Esq., Joshua Marsland, Esq., of Manchester; Win. Marsland, Esq. of Manches ter, - Rigby, Esq. of Manchester, - Hope, Esq. of Manchester, Wm. Dean, Esq. of Manchester, Thos. Dean, Esq.,•of Manchester, Mr. Leach, Mr. Hey word, John Turner, Esq,, Mr. Follows, Richard Simpson, Esq., R. R. Winterbottiam, Esq., - Hamilton, Esq., John Fall, Esq., Captain Jackson, - Moore, Esq., of the 97th, A. Lingard, Esq., W. C. Cruttenden, Esq., Thos. Badeley, Esq., Daniel Kinnersley; Esq., Thomas Cart wright, Esq., Win. Lane, Esq., R. Oxford, Dr., Turner, Jesse Howard, Esq., Joel Cohen, Esq., Joseph Gleave, - Esq.;- and Benjamin Oldfield, Esq., each of Man chester. Over the head of the Chairman was placed a small painting of the Queen's Arms.. Opposite to the Chair man, and over the Vice-president, was a small temple surmounted by an elegant crown, very handsomely or namented. On each side of this in raised brass letters, were the inscriptions, " The .Three Estates," and " Church and Queen." At each end of the room was a large blue cloth, bearing the inscription, in gilt letters, " The Stockport Operative Conservative Association," and surmounted with the inscription " 393 plumpers," being the number given at the election for Major Mars land, The room was tastefully hung with eyergreens, and with blue and white silk, and was also ornamented with two pictures of the Duke of Wellington and George the Third, belonging to the celebrated Wellington Club of Stockport. The Vice-presidents were Jas. Bradshaw, John Scott, and Henry Kirk, Esgrs. Immediately before the dinner was uncovered, the entrances of Sir Francis Burdett and Major Marsland, M.P., and afterwards of C. 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 removed, "Non nobis Domine" was sung by an excellent company of - glee singers. The entrance of Mrs. Marsland was here twiny cheered. _• The usual preliminaries being gone through, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast amid loud cheering. He said,. he believed that no other chairman was ever so honoured at a public meeting by the presence of so many ladies as be saw around him on that occasion —(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) It was an assurance that their cause was good which received such support. It was gratifying when mothers and sisters came forward in defence of their holy religion which had proved so great a blessing, and yet had been so much vilified. In every respect they had a right to come fOrward. Ile was no advocate for ladies becoming poli ticians, but it was the-duty of every christian to do the utmost in his power to stem the torrent du. that infidel power which had been' gaining ground amm ' , them, and which was calculat ed to blast the best principles of mankind. —( Hear.) He be lieved that they were now about to experience the dawn of brighter days, and that the precepts of our holy . religion would be handed down from the parents of the present age to their children and children's children in future generations. After a few excellent observations, the chairman gave the first toast, " Our most gracious Majesty the Queen, and may she long reign over a happy people, and may her advisers be those who have the good of their country and the well-being of society at heart."—( Loud cheers. The national anthem was sung, in the chorus of which the joined. Her 11.-ujesty the Queen Dowager was the next toast, which was received with similar honours to the last toast. - The CHAIRMAN then said, that if there was any toast Which they held more dear than another, it must be the one. he was ahont to.osive. Lt was..." Our glorious Constitution in Church and St,te."—(Loud cheering.) '('he next toast w s., “The Ls - isnot) Etna cseagy or atoos se ..' which the CHAIRMAN prefaced by a high compliment to the bishop and the rector of Stockport. (The toast was loudly cheered:)The Rev:Mr:Not-AN rose to respond to the toast, he said that the numerous and influential meeting by which he was then surrounded, would understand the diffidence he must necessarily feel when called upon for the task of returning thanks fdr 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 meeting; but however unequal he (Mr. Nolan) might feel himself to echo the rector's sentiments, he was sincerely grateful to them. As he had .alluded to the rector's absence, he might say with truth that the meeting • generally sympathised in the cause of that absence, it being a domestic bereavement. The rector's '.siialted•character and consistent courseof life were 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 was duly appreciated; but still he was not free from the breath of calumny. Inasmuch, however, that the sweetest fruits the birds pecked at, it was unnecessary for him. to enter into a vindication of his character, as he was sure there was 00 res ponsive feeling to the aspersions cast upon him. (Cheers.) Being himself (Mr. Nolan) not immediately in connection with the worthy rector, he could, without the suspicion of in fluenced feelings, pay a just tribute to his merits. With re gard to the bishop, he was equally appreciated. He (Mr. Nolan) was proud when he heard the sentiments expressed by the chairman towards that christian church to which they were all so devotedly attached; and his heart leaped for joy,to find a kindred response in the hearts of those present, from the appro bation those sentiments had elicited. (Dear.) The church of England was the great breakwater against which the floods of infidelity and radicalism were continually beating. He was one of those humble servants of the gospel, who, although rid ' faring in many respects from other sects of christ tans, would raut discard front the bosom of the church those who might so dif fer. The pure spirit of the Catholic Chutch of England was that of toleration. Let, however. there be, as there was, such defenders of the.church, equally determined to support its doc trines as the worthy chairman and those around him ; popery and 'infidelity could make no progress. After a few further remarks, the rev. gentleman concluded by thanking them fur the honor conferred upon the bishop and clergy of the dio cese, and for the enthusiastic manner in which it had been received. Mr, - WILLIAM FARRINGTON, Chairman of the Operative. Conservative Associatioo rose to propose the next toast. It was the health of Major iSlarsland, their excellent representa tive.. He said, that new year's day had been selected to do honour to that gentleman, as, being a holiday, more of his constituents could conveniently attend. They all knew that the Major had an opponent at the last election, who, if he did not resort to illegal measures, to gain his point, did most decidedly to unseemly ones. • (Cheers.) His party collected together the operatives of all sorts of the lowest grades, and then took a show of hands as to who was the most tit person to represent the bo rough in parliament. Eoy s , women, and girls were all electors on this - occasion. 'When, however, it came to the poll, they found. their mistake nut. The same system pursued before-the election made Mr. Cobden sure of his return, by a majority of MO. (Laughter.) The conservatives made no boast, but they 'worked, whicli was much better, and the result had been the return of their -honourable guest. It was Major Martha(' Who had stood up as the defender of the operatives' rights, and so secure was he of his seat in parliament, that all the Cohdens in the world could not remove him during his lifetime. The speaker theravent.on to allude to the system of exclusive.deal. ing and intimidation which had been so extensively resorted to at the election by the whirs against all those who• voted fur Major Maryland. '('his 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 boils or knaves, and it they s plit their votes between the two they were downright vil lains. (Cheers.) It appeared that there were a good many of this class of persons, seeing that 393 plumpers voted for hon. Ile concluded by giving "the health of their distinguished guest and staunch conservativ e member, Major Marsland, with thanks to him for his past services and his late noble struggle for the independence of the borough." (Loud cheers.) • Major M ARSLANO then rose, and was received with tumult uous applause. He said he was almost over-powered by the reception he haul that day met with at that magnificent display of conservatism in his native town. (Applause.) And it was more gratitying to him, because it prevailed from a class of men—because it was the independent and honest effusion rut a class of persons the least prepared to make such a sacrifice. (Hear.) He was quite glad that his honourable friend the noble baronet (applause) was there, to have an opportunity to witness sod bear testimony that there was in that great manu facturing town, a body of men amongst the labouring, commu nity, not only ready but determined to maintain the monarchy, the constitution, arid the religion of this land. (Great cheer ing.) He. then begged to thank them for the honour they had done hint by that iuvitatiou. and also for the manner 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, stud he said then, that hie endea vours were inadequate to the situation in which the conserva tive constituency of that borough had thought proper to place him but at the time of the passing of the reform bill, when the con stituency of that borough had the privilege given to them to send members to parliament, he found that he had a duty to perform—it was a duty which must fall upon some man of conservative principles. and at that time he saw no man pre pared to eome forward and though he was not a vain man, at least not Vain. enough to think that he was a proper man, yet be hoped that so far as he had ability lk had been found an un flinching, an uncompromising, s upporter of the great conserva tive cause. (Great applause ) Whether he could satisfy him self that lie.w a s a proper person was not for him to say, but when he looked. upon the manifestation of feeling that day in his favour, as an approval of his conduct, he could assure them there was no danger of any diminut ion of his zeal. (Applause.) him to say:, that, if has. couduct hail been satisfactory to them and they thought him a proper representative, he wiuuld ever be opposed to the socinian; papist, and other enemies of their church and of their unrivalled constitution. (Applause.) He had intended to speak on some of the great political ques tions of the day, but as they doubtless were anxious to hear his worthy friend, the honourable baronet, he would not Waste tlisir time by any such remarks. The hon-mrable geatleman resumed his seat amid great cheering : The CHAIRMAN then briefly proposed the health of Sir Francis Burden and the electors of North Wiltshire, and took occasion r in the name of the ladies present, and that great as sembly, to thank him for attending there that day. The toast was received with vociferous cheering. Sir FRANCIS ButtDETT. who.was most enthusiastically cheer ed on his rising, said, than if any man needed aught to animate and cheer, and even to flatter him, in his devotion to the insti tutions of his country,—to incite him, while he made it his end and aim to maintain the freedom and happiness of the people, to defend the church as established by law, and our glorious constitution of which it was the adjunct,—if aught were needed to animate the man who was a devoted supporter'of these glori ous institutions, as he (Sir F. Burdett) was himself, in the de termination to stand ur fall with them,—it was the exhibition, which he then beheld before and around him, of public spirit, and the kind manner in which they had done him the honour to invite, and the cordial and animating way in which they had received him there that day. It was also animating, even to the humblest, and deeply gratifying to himself, that that invitation should come from that industrious portion of the people of Eng land which was the foundation of all that was great in this coun try. This was to him more a matter of satisfaction and pride than if he there . saw a combination of all the great men in the nation, whose greatest dependence was on the people them selves.—(Cheers.) It was to hint in animating sight to see in that room, persons of alCranks, degrees, and conditions, coales. sing together in the same glorious Cause, and assembling in a state of society and practical freedom, which was never exhibit ed in other nations, and which did not now exist in any other country on the face of the earth. While they so united the sound sense of the people of England, they set at nought and branded with shame those shallow pretenders to patriotism — those impudent sham patriots and lying impostors who would • impose upon the people of the 'United Kingdourt —(Renewed cheers.) They were happy in - living in a state of society which the experience of hundreds and hundreds of years had proved to be exactly the result which that meeting exhibited to an ad miring world, but which, down to the moment in which he was addressing them, did not exist in any other country or state. — Hear, bear.) It was not a great while since they had a person travelling through their town for the purpose of attempting to delude the minds of the people in that place,—a " patriot," as he was called, from Ireland,—a paid patriot,—he meant Mr. •Daniel O'Connell.—(Cheers and laughter.) Dean Swift had said, that every thing that was done in Ireland was different from what was done in every other part of the world ; and in his (Sir F. Burdett's) opinion, there was something in what was done in Ireland that was nut only different, but also repug nant to the understanding, and as different from what was dime elsewhere as light was to darkness. He always thim , ht that. the presence of the one necessarily implied the absence of the other; but it was not so in Ireland ; there light and darkness were the same thing-(laughter)—there the crown of martyr diun could be worn without its thorns—there it was that the . ureat patriot, who was sunposed to be making the largest sacri fices that he tnight serve'the public is that country, never for got the rule of honest lap, his prototype— " Thus do I ever make sty fool my purse." —(Cheers.) If he (Sir F. B.) were in the ministry, he would no more permit anything like an O'Connell rent to he be raised by than their forefathers permitted pence from the starving people, the collection of Peter's pence for the pope. ( Laughter.) Such a rent did not corneas a voluntary contribution front Englishmen, but wes wrung lay force and compulsion from lour wretches under the intimidation practised nn them by the priests, from whom they dared not withhold it, although at the very time they gave it, they hail not a potato to put into their mouths. That rent was collected under sorb dreadful influence—an influence which he would charaeterize as a sacrilegious perversion of the priestly office--over the ignorant, and bigoted, and superstitious people of Ireland—that what should be the altar of peace be came the altar of treason, and that rent could be called nothing else than a fund for the support a nd encouragement of treason in that country. (Cheers.) Though the government, some years ago, when negro slavery was more under consideration than at present, had deemed it worth their while to put down a species of superstition which prevailed in our West India colo nies, known as (theism; yet this system had been allowed to spread in Ireland, and government had permitted the priests in that country to practise a system of greater plunder and extor tion from the wretched and enslaved people of that country. (" Hear," and cheers.) The first thing which he would do, if he had the power, would he to emancipate those oppressed peo ple from that galling yoke, to knock those shackles from off their feet, and to give them freedom. But in that country cer tain men, headed by the priests, whose influence must he ad mitted to be great, when it was recollected that even the great demagogue himself was wont to fall down on his knees before those priests—doubtless to edify, by his example, his pious and' enlightened countrymen —(laughter)—t hese men, headed by the priests, misled and deceived the people of Ireland. What was the position of tbis country ? It seemed to him, that, at present, we were in a most extraordinary situation. We have an administration possessing none of the confidence of the pen_ ple, and having no inundation in the confidence of any part of the country,—a ministry which, by some strange means or other, exhibits, at limes, the most singular amalgamation of parties and opinions, with an inconsistency of principle of the most extraor dinary description, and an union of characters of all kinds and grades; amongst whom were the popish representatives, who acted under O'Connell, and were every where known as his "tail," with others of a like description; of whom it might be said, as had been said by the poet, of sin, that it was indeed possessed of " Many a scaly fold, Voluminous and vast, a serpent arm'd With many a mortal sling." (Cheers.) But it was impossible tor this administration to last long, In England the decision was made--"-was complete: as was clearly shown by the want of confidence manifested every where in the present administration. The persons by whom they were supported—to whom they stooped - to r eceive support —were individuals who had -no confidence whatever in th em; who net only 'gave them n o credit far integrity or ability, b a t en tertained a thorough and perfect contempt for their imbecility. Yet these individuals w er e themselves the interested dupes of such a set of persons, a cting, as they did, under the influence of Daniel O'Connell,--tbe man who, in the House of Coin mons, supported ministers. voted aeainst that great apdlistin 7 guisneo patriot, wdkiey and others of mar aescripti o n, and vet, within tw en ty-f our hours afterwards, dined at White Conduit Honse, arid there denonriced the Whigs as the Most base and degraded set of people on the face of the earth. (Vo ciferous cheering.) Yet again he came back into the house— for he was mote rapid and versatile in changes than Proteus himself—and supported that same ministry ; and that ministry accepted his support, to enable them to carry their measures; as, from their internal weakness, they were incapable of them selves of carrying one measure, or even of framing a measure, that would operate in any way beneficially to the country they had not p asse d one me asure that had not grievously failed in o p era ti on , even a ft er coi ning out of the House of Com itry ; for tnons, and being improved in the House of Lords,—as the peers, when they found they could pass a measure without possibility of risk to the institutions of the county, they reluc tantly assented, and lent a helping hand to make more per fect that which was already incapable of beim_ put in practical operation. B u t l e t th ose pr ese nt look to their mea sures, and tell him—f or h e wante d t o k now —if any one of them had suc ceeded. Their measures, affecting slavers' in our West Indian colonies; for which the people of this country, to their immor tal honor, had with hand and voice concurred to raise the mots strous compensation—he mtist call it—of twenty millions of •money for a purpose towards which this measure had been so little effective that even now there was again raised the same cry about slavery, and meetings were held in various parts of the country. from which it was clear, that in point of fact, though this country had paid the price, it had not obtained the end in view, Let us Ink at any other of the measures of this government; we should find that they wet e mere experiments, but very dangerou s ones, made with the greatest rashne ss an d presumption. I t would seem, too, that they had taken up so many at the s ame t i me t h at they h a d not b een able to perfect any otre of them. E ven the i r measures re l at i n g to the trade, commee, and p ossess i on of our East Indian— territories. we at present knew n o t h ow it would operate; but we had no reason to suppose, that it w ou ld h e less dangerous to o ur possessions rc in that part of the world, than others were likely to prove in other quarters. (Hear.) Again, if they looked at home, there were various attempts to retin ue the laws,—a matter which cer tainly ought to be the first object to which attention should be directed, and a question above all others, deserving great estimation and th e deepest attention; kit what he wanted to see was, men who could do their own work ; he wished to see effected some measure, which in its consequences should be found to operate advantageously to all. (Cheers.) Again, he would ask them to look at what the government had done in the church; and he would ask who was benefilted by that un settling of every thing, by those alterzoions which were not only uncalled for, but were directly adverse and injutions to the interests and purposes of those whom they were intended to benefit ? Again, there was another great question, with respect to which the government measure had not been able • to accomplish a great deal of benefit. They would understani. that he spok e of a measure which had called attent ion every where to it, by the feeling which it had excited, and which had been manifested against it,—he alluded to the new Poor-law Amendment act. What had ii done? Why nothing, except that it had caused universal discontent anti dissensions. (Hear, hear.) Let them go to any other measure of the present. government, and be would venture to say, that there was not one that had not produced consequences foreign to its intention, but had fallen very far shot of being any improvement ; —there was but one, so far as he knew, that had not (produced temporary. if not irreparable mischief. lie could tell them that that administration would not long be sup ported, as was cfear from the fact that nearly all, the men of great ability in the country were opposed to it. We had in this country men of ability and of practical experience, Men capable of executing, the duties which ought to be executed by the present imbecile ministry ; but ministers,, by the projects they entertained, and their adherence to office, deprived the country of the beneficial exercise of those talents of which he had spoken, and would not relax - their hold of power till their body crumbled anti fell to pieces from the very weakness of that party to which the government of this country was intrusted. Without caring much about the present aduninistrationSexcept that he wished to see greater talent and integrity brought into the public service, he must observe, that we were at present its such a state that no ministry dared make any encroachment on the liberty of the subject, on the law, or the constitution.. At present we were safe from every thing except their incapacity and imbecility, which nothing could withstand. England had stood against the combined world—not only against Frunce, a great, powerful, and enlightened nation, but all Europe com bined with France, directed, he supposed, by the greatest genius of the day almost—Napoleon Buonaparte : but Provi dence raised up 'for us a genius greater still, who stood forward iu the defence of the liberties of his country—he scarcely need mention the name ofsWellington. (Great cheering.) When he mentioned that name, he was perfectly satisfied that he men tioned the greatest man that this or any other country, in this or any age or time, produced. (Applause.) No general ever possessed such great moral qualities, attended. with such scru pulous honesty and integrity such a total absence of all self; and, when they saw such devotion to the country—such an absence of all ambition anti vanity, and personal consideration of ' any description, it surprised hint the more to see such ability too on every occasion; nothing surprised him so much as that singleness of purpose, and honest integrity of mind, which Acme so conspicuously through the whole of his long successful and g lorious career. (Great applanse.) He would venture to take the operatives that bad honoured him with their invitation that day as a sample of the operatives throughout this great empire ; and he would take leave to address a few words to them, be cause, baying invitations- to meet others, who were in no way inferior to them in true British feeling and understanding, and who might not, front the season of the year, find it possible to render him so great a gratification as he had in meeting them, by expressing his high regard and estimation in which he held them, and assuring that he should never hesitate, disrega.rding all personal considerations, to give them his best support and assistance, and also the constitution and institutions of the country. (Applause.) As had been said by their respected chairman, he thought the.dawn was approaching and daylight breaking through .the thick caned, tthich from time to time had baffled their sight, or deceived, by its lurid glare, a great pnr , lion of the people; that, he trusted, was now passing away; and , that, even in Ireland, the sCales would tall front the eyes of the i people, and that even ministers themselves, and :hat portentous bubble, Daniel O'Connell, might burst, and fall like Daeon and FFIE LIVERPOOL STANDAID; shame his wurshiers, and not the least those degenerate, who ad accepted his support and become his co uljutors. (Great applause.) He had that confidence in his ieuutryinea whit he had ever had; that while he acted umestly, and intepeadently, and fearlessly in defence of the ustitutions of tly country, he had no daubt he should always neet with the stmaart of the great bulk of the people. Ile had to fear of so (trailed a calamity as that of society being dis solved and collusion ensuing while theoperatives came forward in defence of al they held dear, as they had done that day. Let them do his, and he had no fear of that destruction of society, which if once achieved, he would venture to say, with out making any pretence to prophetic power, would never again he raised intotxistence.—The hon. baronet sat down amidst protracted chering. • The CHAIRMAN next gave—" The Duke of Wellington, the pride of the,lyitish army, and the conqueror of the conqueror of Europe." Drunk with Wellington honours? Song—" Cd England's glory." The CHAItMAN then said, that it was with much pleasure that he ptopeed " The health of Charles Wilkins, Esq., and the Conservative bar." The toast was drunk amidst loud cheering. Mr. WILIINS then rose, and was received with continued cheering. le said, gentlemen and brother operatives, or as a certain learned personage who some time since, had honoured their boroup, would term them, "miserable remnant of an ex piring factpn." ( Hear and laughter.) How joyous" they looked in heir misery ! With whet magnanimity and conser vative plubsophy they regarded the approaching agonies of their demist. (Continued applause.) They bad been pleased t 6 couple hs name with the conservative bar. He• confessed that it appeared to him extraordinary how any man calling him self a haulier, supposed to be imbued with the spirit and con stitution of the British laws, could be anything but a conserva tive. (licsr.) He was not speaking of the special pleader who lookel with the microscopic eye of a man searching for a deinurrer,but he was speaking of the lawyer in the highest and proudest acceptation of the term—a man who through the teles cope of hiaory had traced the laws framed through the various stages of society, who had seen how the laws had kept pace with the wantsof man, and adapted themselves to all the wants of the lowes, and the most polished society. He would venture to assert, without fearing the consequences that nearly every sound lawyer it the kingdom was a conservative. It was true that they had at present an Attorney-General, who had been con fronted Ind confuted by a layman—who had declared the existenci of an anomaly never before recognized by the Bri tish law—who hail declared that the British law had a right to assert what it had not the power to enforce. 'chat 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 hits to tell there that. the bar, like every other institution 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 they would allow a parsimonious and mean legislattire so to strip that profession of its emoluments and rewards, as to drive from it honourable men. It had been truly observed by the honourable baronet who had preceded him—and ty follow him under any circumstances, was no trifling disadvantage— that they were a nation placed under most extraordinary cir cumstances; that the members of their government, to a certain 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, for the mere sake of office, had con stantly surrendered every principle they before had held sa cred, and had thrown each overboard at the demand of a hete rogenous band of traitors, (for he could call them nothing else,) who sought for the destruction of every thin , they held ..r l tid and great. 'Their ministers were truckling before these men for the tnere retention of office, and the enjoyment of those advantages which it brought to them. It was somewhat curious, he confessed, that men calling themselves reformers at the pie sent day should twit him with being an apostate from the rauks of the reformers. He asked one man for his definition of "reform," and he referred him to the Morning Chronicle; an other man referred him to the Examiner • another man who was equally loud in his denunciations of his (Mr. W.'s) incon sistency, referred him to the defunct True Sun as the sam pler of a reformer's creed. If he came nearer home, where should he seek for the standard of reformers? Why. a gentle man who had visited theta not long since (Mr. O'Connell) would take them to Derry nane.—( Hear and a laugh.) A for mer acquaintance of his, (Mr. O'Connell,) for ought he knew, addressing an assemblaae in some neighbouring town at that time, Mr. Fergus O'Connor, referred him to his pamphlet, which held Mr. O'Connell up as everything contemptible and mean, and told hint that Ireland never possessed a more arch apostate—a more arrant traitor; another man at Manchester refer red him for his reform creed to the Manchester Guardian; another to the Manchester Times; and another to the Man chester Advertiser • each one had its advocate, and all of them gave different definitions of that strange and all-important word `• reform." If he had abandoned his former principles who was to be his accuser? Who amongst these men was t') tell him that he had abandoned his principles ? The fact was, they had no cornmoh principle but one, and that was the destruction of every thing in their constitution. Their inotto'was, " Sic cob, sic nolo, pro ratione colonies." (Cheers.) They said the con servatives were acting in opposition to the people. Let them ask those men who were the people? Why, when Mr. Joseph Hume wished to convince parliament that they (the conserva tives) were acting in opposition to the wishes of the people, he was obliged to go to Kilkenny fur the living proofs of hisdoc trines? (Cheers.) He who not long since never rose in the House of Commons but to speak of the enlightenment of the me tropolis, and its superi 'r knowledge, was flute singing London now is out of town," and "The boys of Kilkenny are fine roving blades." (Cheers.) Let them ask the Hon. Secretary for the Home Department where he found his proofs of popular favour? He shrank from Devonshire in abhorrence and went to the multitudes of Stroud. (Continued cheering.) Let them ask Edward Taylar, of the Manchester Guardian, who were " the pefiple," and he would tell them, as he had done in his last week's paper, that the people were the middle classes; that the rabble were unworthy of attention ; that all those who differed in opinion with - Edward Taylor, or his partner, on the all important topic of the new poor-law question, were nobodies. (Hear.) In fine, they (the conservatives) found that these men agreed in no one topic but destruction, which it scented to him they were all seeking for, iu order to their own aggrandisement. 'lime boat. baronet who had preceded him had latacateu very torelole ou the intbecibty or the pi et,ettt ',- went, and the utter failure of all the measures brought forward by them. If lie would allow him, he would extend those views a little further, and look abroad at the working of their measures, for their measures and conservatism were not confined in their operation to this country—conservatism stretched its arms over the whole world and was to nations as to individuals; and they must deal out the same measures to all who came within the sphere of its action. What had they gained since the present came into power? They bad lost that power which Hol land had always been inclined to afford them; they had re moved from the frontiers of Belgium, those fortresses which ages had built, and which the wisdom of their forefathers had thought necessary to resist the aggressions of political France. Turkey had become a province of Russia, Poland had been laid pros trate in ashes aid, in point of fact they had given power to all those governments which it would have been wisdom to curtail. They had pursued the same line of policy in the German states, they had united Austria, Russia, and Prussia against us; and every one who knew anything of history knew that France must be opposed to us in some degree, and they had allowed France to stretch her arms in Africa and obtain a position which she might make one of offence against us. (Loud cheers.) If they looked to Spain they found there gathered all the mi serable hurtles that congregated on the Isle of Dogs, to assist her Majesty the Queen of Spain—they found their general returned to this country foiled and disgraced, and the remnant of their countrymen who remained there left to the tnercv of the man they had gone t 6 oppose, or to (lie and moulder under the pestilential influence of the climate—( loud cheering)—and, though last nut least, let them look to Canada. If he wanted to find an argument to justify the conduct of the conservatives towards Ireland, he would point to Canada. The population of Ireland had been asking fur power, and they had refused to gtantabein it, not because they wished to deprive them of the rights of citizens, but because they believed, and with reason, that they were not sufficiently enlightened, advanced, and mu ral to possess those powers they were so anxious to obtain. Just . 80 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 by fortune could possess no claim to legislative power. What had been the consequence? What must be the consequence so long as this world should stand? At that very moment they were battling in order to crush the licentiousness which had been produced by that line of conduct. And the consequence to the Canadians must be, as it seemed to him, that they must take from them the powers, they had abused—that they must limit the liberties of that country beiore they could govern her with anything like peace. They must allow him to tell them as operative conservatives—for as he had said on many occasions, that man calling hitnself conservative who was not an operative was of no use to the con servative cause—they must allow him to tell them that however imposing an appearance like that was, that the great battle was to be fought in 'districts mute unseen and less occupied. He bad had the privilege of addressing in this and the adjoining comity very nearly 307000 operative conservatives to about he would do the justice to say that they had proved themselves imperatives, atm if the state of the times had produced no other good effects, it had called forth a spit it of inquiry among hundreds and thousands of persons in this kingdom who were attached to our constitu tion, because they had walked round its bulwarks and made themselves acquainted with its advantages and hid in conse quence become the foremost and best friends of the constitution. : (Hear.) It might be said that some among them were very humble individuals, moving in a very humble sphere of life. They might say " what can I do." Each individual might do nrOcia and they must allow him to tell them as Sir. R. Peel had stud on another occasion that it was in the registration courts that the battle was to be fought. He hoped to see by the strengthening of their cause by these means the return of some coadjutor worthy of the gentleman on his right Major Mars laud.—(Loud and continued cheers.)—When they looked at the overwhelming expanse of ocean they were too apt to forget the tributary streams that added to its importance? So it was with conservative associations. As a whole they were great dud overwhelming, but their greatness must arise by the coluregation of individuals. Ile would exhort everyman when he left that room to consider himself an operative couservative— to read, to write, or talk, or . walk or do something or other to promote the cause they had in hand. Above all things he would say to them, if they would listen to'a young man, "'fake care a lways to be careful of your own strength—to be acquainted with the number of your force in the field." When a general krew the discipline of his army—its courage and its numbers, he went out with confidence into the field; and they knew that confidence was half the battle. Conservatism was not confined to a meeting like that. It did not consist in merely returning Major Marsland to parliament, or in forwarding the cause in that' own town, but it had for its object the greatest results. It eiaended its influence to the highest as well as the lowest indi vicuals. And if he (Mr. W.) wanted for a living evidence of what conservatism was--if the hon. baronet on his right would allow him to quote him—" Conservatism was the same principle that wrested at Runnymede front the hands of a tyrant the choler of English liberty. It was the same principle which arrested front the aristocracy freedom for the oppressed serf, ant which tore the mask from cant under the garb of republican ism. It was the same huts cause which substituted protestantisin for popery, and which set the national mind free and exulting in the freedom wherewith heaven had made it." (Loud cheers.) Cuaseryatism now was ready to act as a bulwark to our institu hots when attacked by the most dangerous of all tyrants, the unity headed monster—the mob. This he took to be con seratism. It was not the intent of faction or party; and taking it it be such, he was proud to call himself—and especially in these days of danger to conservative harristers—a conservative banister. (Cheers.) It seemed Lublin that the greatest retard mett to sound legislature at the present day was the factious conduct of the people of Ireland. He knew Ireland well; he knee her phy s ical resources; he knew something of her na tional mind ; he knew her generosity ; he knew her credulity andsuperstition; and, above all, he knew her abject misery; audit' he might be allowed to hint at patriotism alter what hail beet said by the hon. baronet, when he saw a man tiding in the b i ra tts in a cal riage paid for by the pence of starving children, andcalling himself a patriot, lie could not joke on such a sub jecta-,lt roused feelings of indignation within him to which he (fa t al not give expression.— Ile would exhort them to be firm and wait and to fear nut the threats and intimidations of their ad verstries, and when they made unreasonable demands to resist theu even to the death.—Wheu outer opponents asked them to A lk l / 4 11 0 1 44 a - z give up one stone of the citadel of our constitution, let them stand by that stone. (Cheers.) He would be eternally making demands and agitating until they should have an ad'iniuistra tion honest enough to clip the wings of agitation. They knew that they could not exist in such a state of agitation.—lreland might make her demands and hold out her threats, but so long as England should be true to herself, and shew the same front in St. Stephen's that she did now, with a majority of Eng lish gentlemen, representing English interests in that himse hey had nothing to fear.—lt had been said that the dying eagle when he saw the barbed arrow in his bosom plumed with a feather from his own wing, it embittered the agonies of hisdeath.—So would it ne with the British constitution.- In her integrity she might prosper and defy all nations, but let her forget herself and it would add to her misery when she should see that the arrow which wounded her was barbed by her own' sons. (Enthusias tic cheering.) The learned gentleman sat down, thanking them for the attention with which they had listened to him, and wishing them a happy new year. The CHAIRMAN called upon JAMES H EA LO. Esq. who rose to propose the toast of" Sir Robert Peel and the conservative members of the House of Commons." He had accepted the invitation of his conservative friends to be present on that interesting 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 worthy con servative member, against the influence of a coalition which every spirited mind ought to have denounced. If that coalition had proved successful the brand of tyranny would have placed its hand on the•horough, and its independent voice would never have been heard. The government of this country had for several years past been agitating, and affecting the throne and in stitutions of the country, even to the risk of compromising our glorious constitution which was settled by our forefathers, and which had stood as our landmark amidst the ocean of polities. He hoped they would bear in mind the maxim, " Fear God and honour the King, and meddle not with men who are given to change." (Cheers.) With regard to the established f hurch of this country, and the profession of faith which he (Mr. Heald) adopted : he might say that he was a Wesleyan. He need not be ashamed of his connexion with the church of Christ, even as viewed to connexion with the Church of England. He was there to bear witness to the gratitude that they owed to the establishment, of late years, for the blessing of toleration, which was all that they (the • Wesleyans) contended for, and which of late sears they had enjoyed. By the established religion they hail been placed in circumstances of comparative security. He could not conceive how any persons could advocate the received principles of christianity without making adequate provision for their propagation. This was one of the most important prin ciples upon which the establishment was founded, and upon whicli he (Mr. Heald) trusted that it would rest secure. ( Hear.) It was the bounden duty of a christian govern ment to make adequate provision for the support and propaga tion of christianity. The hold which the ektabliShment had gained on the affections of the country had been the best secu rity for the preservation of 'the country at large. Fouilded on the true principles of christianity. it had been, to a great ,mea. sure, successful against the opposition which had been directed against the principles which they advocated, and by Which the establishment had been preserved in all its ef f iciency, and its efforts rendered prosperous. There had been a cry 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 not be stopped.—(Hear.) f they would give a system of national education, they must ake care that it was founded 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 breach of order by entrusting into his (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 tioned in the toast. He would give without further preface, "'['he right hon. Sir It belt Peel, hart., and the conservative members of the House of Commons." (Loud cheers.) Song. " England's hope." The CHAIRMAN said, he had many times great pleasure in proposing the health of the father of the hon. gentleman whose name-stood next on the list of toasts. The house of Tattoo (cheers) had always been dear to him, for he had received such kindness from that quarter that it would never be effaced from his mind. In proposing the health of Mr. Tatton Egerton, he would osserve, that if they lost him, they would " ne'er see his like again." He begged, however, to propose " the health of W. T. Egerton. Esq. our admirable conservative representative for South Cheshire. and may he soon have a colleague of the same principles." (Loud cheering.) W. T. EGERTON, Esq. M.P. then rose, and was received with loud cheering. He said, he scarcely knew how to express his sentiments 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 he had never shrunk- from the performance of his duty as an independent member of the House of Commons : 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 been the custom of some parties. He hoped to be enabled to steer an independent course so long as he continued their re presentative; anti so long as the honour of representing the conservatives of South Cheshire was entrusted to his hands, he would endeavour to preserve it unspotted as ever; and when ever the day of reckoning should come lie should ever be found ready to give an account of his conduct. (Cheers.) He must beg to congratulate the meeting on the glorious assemblage which they had that evening. He must congratulate them on that assemblage of fair and bright eyes (pointing to the ladies in the gallery) which were then beaming with delight arid approbation at their principles. (Long and loud cheering.) He_must congratulate them moreover on having effaced the stigma which the appearance of the hon. and learned member for Dublin, at a late dinner, had cast upon that town. (Cheers.) He must confess that he did feel deeply grieved, when on his arrival in town, he was asked by Sir Roaert Peel, how came Stockport, a town prominently remarkable for its_ loyalty—how came Stockport, where proofs of attachment to the church and state had hitherto been - given—how came she to lead out a pro 'cession, with the mayor and corporation at its head, to meet Mr. O'Connell? (Shame.) Already had the town of Stock port obliterated that stain—right well had she retrieved her honour. (Cheers.) He could now proudly boast of seeing before him a band of men in whom the true. old English spirit n aim hivrm y 6 been a town.-.-wi in 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. He 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 cosidered it as a great demonstration of public opinion and public feeling—that public opinion which their opponents once professed to idolize—but which, since it has turned against km, they are ready to substitute for that weak popularity, ich they might gain by pandering to passions which they ought to restrain. He (Mr. Egerton) respected that meeting as a public demonstration. Why had the operative left his ma nufactory? Why had 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 themselves to enjoy the converse of their friends? Why were they met together that day? Was it not in order to show that they had no confidence in the government of the country? (Cheers.) Look at our foreign and domestic policy, —a topic which had been.so well insisted upon by his (Mr.Egeiton's) hon, friend the hon. baronet, who had preceded him. Look at home and abroad. At home; a government pretending to be friendly disposed towards the poor, and at she same time hand ing them down and trusting them to the tender mercies of the poor law commissioners,—(loud cheers,)—and who were at tempting to thrust the bill down the mouths of the manufactur ing population. In showing their principles of non-interven tion they had sent troops to a foreign country, and the English legion had been discornfitted in a land where once the English name was a towerof strength. Must he refer to the English swept and conquered from the Spanish coast? Must he look towards Canada, where the flag of rebellion had been but just unfurled ? Must he look at home, where our institutions in church and state had been so long insidiously but now opeulya:tacked, and to that state of things which had been caused by the vacillating (he might almost say the political wickedness) of our government. But the men who, instead of showing a bold front, had heckled to the scramblers who follow Papineau and O'Connell, in the hope of gaining another quarter's pay, have brought things to such a state that they are like drowning men grasping at straws. They are like men, caring little for anything, and giving everything to sacrifice the British constitution. (Cheers.) He rejoiced at that gathering of the conservatives of Stockport. He re joiced to she them animated by such a spirit as would show ministers and their supporters that the conservatives would not (lie tamely—that they would not give up without a Struggle the boast of their birth-right, the invaluable blessings of the English constitution. He trusted that the first day of the new year which had been ushered in would show more favourable auspices; and he hoped before long to see a firm, strong, and compact conservative government. (Cheers.) They had a strong party out of doors, and with a strong party in the House of Commons of such men as Sir F Burdett, they might hope to see better days, 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. Such principles as theirs, identified as they were with the English constitution, and interwoven with the best interests of the British people must ne cessarily pm osper. (Loud cheers.) The CH A I lIM A N called upon Mt. FRANCIS NEWELL, an oper ative conservative, who, iu a speech of considerable ability, proposed as a toast, " Protestant ascendancy.'.' (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. NoLAN ruse to respouri to time toast: After ac knowledging the deep sense which he felt in being called upon to acknowledge the toast, proceeded to congratulate them on the ascendancy of protestant principles-over popery. The wisdom of their ancestors hail placed the church beyond all legislation and beyond all law. Had not the act of settlement interwoven protestautisin withiu the very heart's blood or the nation? They felt time happy freedom which they enjoyed under protestant ascendancy, and there could be no wouder at their earnest de termination, under God, to transmit it to their children in the saute degree of excellence in which they had received it. He trusted the day would never come when that toast would fail to awaken a lively throb within the bosom of every man who called himself a Briton. (Cheers.) The darkening moral evils of popery had been pointed out by au O'Sullivan and a M`Ghee who had demonstratively proved the relationship of cause and effect subsisting between the docr-ines a popery, and the consequent deplorable state of helot d. lie referred to Den's Theology as a fearful store-house of mm.e seeds of evil, and he would refer to Ireland as a proof that those seeds had fallen on a fruitful soil. He referred to facts which he knew were un questionable as a proof of it. The last number of the leading conservative journal of Ireland, the Dublin Evening Mail, stated the fact that within the week previously to its publica tion no less than five actual murders, three attempts at assas sination, and 11 offences of a minor nature had been committed. This exhibited the effect of popery then, and the necessity fur protestant ascendency to remedy such a system. He in•irtnced the orderly iudustrious state of time protestant province sf Ulster as compared with the other three catholic provinces. The cause of that was, that one was the land of freedom, of protes tantisni and the bible, whereas popery, priest-craft, and intimi dation reigned over the rest. He denounced the Irish appro priation clause as at one fell stroke swamping 900 out of 1,300 parishes in Ireland, and thus insidiously undermining protes tantism. He concluded amidst loud and general cheering. At this juncture (ten o'clock) Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Wilkins retired from the room amidst loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN proposed the •` Army and Nayy." Captain HoLLiNGWoRTH briefly responded to time toast. W. TATTON EGERTON Esq., M P., next proposed the health of Thos.
