GRAND ANNIVERSARY CEI:EBRATION OF THE BERM G HAM LOYAL AND ‘QONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCLaTION. The preparations for the tine celebration of trstanniver sary of this society have excited very centsidelettilt;lnrerest in this town and its vicinity for some days Sate, When the plan was first proposed it was thought --that 60(5 persons would be as many as would seek for:tickets, but the applications for admis sion since have satisfied the committee that had they the means of accommodating. three times that number, every seat they could provide would he occupied. The 600 tickets at first pro posed were inetantiy,absorbed by applicants. 200 tickets more were as eagerly purchased, and for malty days past there has been such demand that we understand five guineas have been repeatedly offered and refused `for tickets. the fixed price of which was only 15s. This, in a town like Birmingham, which has so long been considered as the very focus of radicalism, speaks volumes for the re-action in the public mind here, and puts beyond all doubt the fact, that loyal and constitutional principles, as opposed to those of the destructives, are every day taking . deeper and more firm root amongst the people of this country. The meeting of the association took place at half-past one o'clock on Thursday, at the great room of Dee's Royal Hotel, and was most numerously and, it is scarcely necessary to add, most respectably attended. As the principal object was to ap point a committee and other officers for the ensuing year, the meeting was intended to be confined to matters of detail. - The leading members, therefore, reserved their observations for the dinner. One circumstance which occurred at it deserves parti cular mention,--it was the reading of a dutiful and loyal ad dress to his Majesty from a large portion of the inhabitants of this town and vicinity, deelariug their firm attachment to the principles of the association. •eiss DINNER. Immediately after the termination of the public meeting the gentlemen who.'attended proceeded to the Town-hall, in which the dinner was served. The Earl of Dartmouth, president of the association, took the chair. The noble earl was supported by Lord Viscount Lorton, the Earl of Bradfurd, the Lard of Aylesford, Lord Willoughby de Broke, Lord Viscount Lifford, the Hon. C. Bridgman, Sir J. Mordaunt, Bart., M.P., Sir F. H. Goodricke, Bart., M.P., and Sir G. Pigut. Among the company were Sir It. Gunning, Sir C. Greville, M.P., the High Bailiff and Clergy of Birmingham, the Mayor orCoventry, Richard Spooner, Esq., and a long list of names of gentlemen in the town, and in the counties of Warwick and Stafford. After the healths of " the King, Queen, Princess Victoria, the army, the navy, and the House of Brunswick,—may they never forget the principles which seated them on the throne, ( ' the uoble chairman proposed successively the healtlis of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel. These toasts, and especially the latter, were received with a degree of enthusiasm never surpassed in any assembly, After the toast " Prosperity to the Birmingham loyal and constitutional Association.' had beets drank, the folloWing song, written for the occasion, was sung by. Mr. J. Whalley : ; — • "'Ti'the voice of our country, from 'shore unto . shiire; It calls on each Briton to slumber no more; It bitisais-arouse, ere ran- birthright be Ole, And rally, like men, round the altar and throne. "The God' of that - altnr, through tumult and war, Ever beam'd upon lingland his bright leading star— Ever potted on ourfathers his blessing divine, Mid ne'er shall their children prove false to his shrine. " Round the throne of our monarchs for ages have stood, Saints, heroes, and sages, the great and the good, Unshaken by foes from without hat h it been, And it shall not be cankered by traitors within. • " Todlong,, oh! too long, has a faction held sway, That, piecemeal, would dribble old England away, • That would take from her king and her nobles their own, And cover with insult the altar and throne. " But it shall not avail them !—the voice is gone forth That shall dash to the whirlwinds their impotent wrath, When Britain, uprous'd and indignant at length, • Thus bares, like a giant, the arm of her strength. " Here we stand for old England, her rights, and her laws, "cis the cause of our country—God prosper that cause! Unimpair'd to our children those rights shall descend, We will live to preserve them,or die to defend!" We are under the necessity of passing over the speeches de livered in the course of the evening for the purpose of inserting the subjoined document, which will be found important, as showing the successful labours of the association, and stillmore important as proceeding from a town hitherto. considered the hotbed of disloyalty and infidelity in Great Britain:— "REPORT Or THE GENERAL, COMMITTEE OF THE LOYAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. "In presenting the report of the proceedings of the past year, your committee feel bound especially to advert to the circuits- , stances under which the " Loyal and Constitutioaal Association" was formed, and also to the measures they deemed it expedient to take, particularly at the outset of their career, for attaining the objects contemplated at its institution. For a series of years this town had been the theatre of unceasing political con tention ; the public mind, wrought upon by artful demagogues, hxd become unsettled to an extraordinary degree; persons of middle station in• society, and those engaged in active employ= ment of manufacture, were, in very many instances, without entertaining sentiments of disloyalty or disaffection to our ancient national institutions, estranged from the courses of peace and contentment, and deluded to _join themselves with men who professed indeed liberality and patriotism, yet evinced by the whole tenor of their lives and conduct a tyrannical, selfish, and intolerant spirit, and an hostility to those principles of government which have raised this country to the highest rank among the nations of the earth. " Your committee will not further allude to the proceedings and principles of that political confederacy whose directors, ender the specious guise of liberality and abhorrence of corrup tion, inveigled many of our unsuspecting fellow-townsmen into aiding them in the execution of their unconstitutional designs, than to cite the instances of the two questions of local interest that engaged the public attention at the close of last year and the beginning of the present. In December last, the adver , series of the established church renewed their opposition to the customary legal mode of defraying the charges of divine worship wills' a virulence exceeding even that which. accompanied their former too successful efforts. Religiousiceling or conacientious scruple was least apparent in the resistance; a spirit of hatred to the protestaut form of worship established in thi4 kingdom, and enmity even to religion itself, were manifested even to an extent unexampled on any former occasion; the eneniies of the church, banded in organized array, exercised the influence of terror to hinder christians from supporting the rights of their church, and, from want of concert on the pert of the friends of religion, they once again for a time succeeded. When, in January, the election of parliamentary representatives took place, the same sort of opposition was employed; every senti ment hostile to the protestant religion, and especially to that form of it which has been for centuries established in connexion with the state, was leagued with every feeling adverse to those principles of government which have distinguished this country in seasons of her greatest prosperity anti happiness. The com bined threes of the `revolutionary and popish factions ptoved under the circumstances too powerful to be withstood, fur, aid ed by a plan of intimidation that was most unsparingly exercis ed, while the parties threatened were without a refuge for pro tection and defence, the avowed enemies of the church, and the dangerous innovators that would alter the constitution again prevailed. The experience of the struggle on the church-rate question sufficiently pi oved that it remained only for the purpose of opposing the destructive influence which had hitherto ope rated unchecked; accordingly, on the 17th of December last. a number of your body, vigilant and determined supporters of the constitution in church and state, assembled in this very room and founded the association, the anniversary of whose origin, and the auspicious course of whose proceedings, we are this day happily met to celebrate. " In order to carty the general design of the association into effect, sub-committees were appointed, to whom the task of exe cuting certain particular duties was confided. Of these the publishing committee came earliest into operation. They have distributed to the members, and also to a large extent gratui tously to the public, various publications on subjects immediate ly connected with the designs of the association to the amount of upwards of ten thousand, besides taking cognizance of vari ous matters relating generally to the conservative cause. " Your committee recall with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret the meeting in April last, at which the a ssoc i a ti on agreed - to present an address to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, at.the close of his short but eventful career as first nil:- ;lister of the crown. Indignant at the shameful artifices em ployed to thwart and defeat a statesman, the pledges of whose conduct extended to the removal of every abuse, so far as was practicable, consistent with the maintenance of the prin ciples of the constitution, your committee prepared a forum of address expressive of admiration at the discretion, modera tion, and wisdom which characterized his whole conduct throughout that interesting period, and to which the 'signa tures of the most respectable, wealthy, and influential inhabit ants of this town were, in the short space of twelve hours, af fixed to the amount of 2,000. " Your committee also, attentive to the duty imposed upon them, assembled the members of the association in May last, when the bill for appropriating a portion of the r evenues o f t h e established church in Ireland was before the [louse of Com mons, to petition his majesty to refuse his assent to a mea sure so fatal in its principle to the protestant religion, and also to address the two Houses of Parliament, beseeching them to reject a bill so directly invasive of the rights of the church; and your committee have the satisfaction of referring to the me morable decision of the House of Lords, when the. bill was brought before them - , in proof of the justness of your views in calling earnestly on the legislature to resist the perpetration of so unconstitutional an act. "The secretaries of the association were engaged on 'behalf of the committee, every day front the 20th of June to the • 20th of July, in affording gratuitous advice add assistance id the registration- of the conservative-electors .of-the eurroubdirig district, After the lists of persons claiming to' vote forithe county in the polling district had been published, they' were subjected to a rigid scrutiny, and it appearing hot only that an extraordinary addition ot"clainiants had been made to the regis ter of electors for the last year (the great majority of which had been placed there by the agents'of the radical party), but that active preparations were made for a very extensive system of objection to the rights of the 'different conservative claimants, and especially to the farm tenants in the rural districts who claimed to remain on the registry, your committee, in concur ' rence with the North Warwickshire Registration Society, took 'the necessary stepS to. create a fund for the special purpose of ,defraying the expenses necessarily attendant thereupon, anti caused notices of objection to be s e r ve d on suc h o f t h e claim ants of the opposing party to whose rights to remain on the 'register the agents of the society considered that a fair and legal Objection could be made and substantiated. In order, how ever, more effectually to insure the proper discharge of those important matters, a sub-committee was app o i n t e d by your committee, and by their directions a case was drawn up and submitted to the opinion of tour of the most eminent banisters in Londdii : and it was not till they had separately given de cided but concurred' opinions in favour of the objections taken by your secretaries to the different classes of claimants, that the sub-committee authorized the service of any notice of ob jection whatever:- There were two classes 'it' objection, which included upwards of six hundred anti fifty out of the eight hun dred notices of objection vetoed hy the agents of the associa tion, but which, after mature deliberation and discussion, were decided in favour of the claiuttints. The objections, however, though made unsuccessfully at the time, have vet been not un availing. for the questionable votes are by that means brought within thejuristliction of the House of Coinninns. The practi cm 1 result of the registiation sub-committee's labours has been to defend the claims of no less than seven hundred voters in the comervative interest, especially those who must otherwise have been disqualified on aecount of the great sacrifice that daily per sonal attendance for several days would have entailed upon them, and the prevention of a great number of persons being placed on the register who had no valid e;round of claim. With legate' to the state of the register, as affects the number of the • the rival parties, the registration committee assure the mem bers that the proportion of conservatives relative to that of de struct ices is such as to render the county perfectly safe in any future contest " Your committee bare peculiar patisfaction in callingto mind the remarkable display of feeling in favour of the protestant re ligton on the memorable occasion of the visit of the Rev. Messrs. M'Gliee and O'Sullivan to this town on the 18th of November Jut; and it is with feelings of heartfelt delight that your corn- N, inittee have been assured. that a vast numbeeiif persons not con nected with your association have acknowledged the value and tinportance of the statement then laid before the public, and have expressed sentiment& of revived affection for our ecclesias tical establishment, and declared their firm. determination to uphold the protestant institution of the united kingdoms. " Your committee cannot contemplate the disclosures made by those reverend gentlemen without feeling that the protestant religion in the sister island is in imminent peril, and that so extensive and deeply-laid are the plans for the extermination of protestants from Ireland, that prompt and vigorous mea sures on the part of the English people can alone save our fellow-churchmen, and stay the execution of the formidable conspiracy. " At the commencement it was determined that the subscrip tion should be limited-to the sum of El per annum as maximum; and it was especially promulgated. that a money contribution formed no part of tire principle of the association. In thus keeping clear of the most distant Suspicion of seeking to possess th(ouselyes of funds beyond what the commonest necessities demanded, your committee feel that they practiCally deterred the members from affording the pecuniary means necessary to carry ou the affairs of the association. Your committee recom mend then, as 'a correction, that the limitation of £1 per annum as the maximum be removed, and that members be permitted to subscribe whateversumsthey may think proper; on this point they venture to anticipate your concurrence, more especially as contribution will continue as it has been heretofore, not in the slightest decree compulsory or conditional, but entirely at the free-will and option of the members. " In the early part of the year the business of the association, although it demanded great attention on the part of the honorary secretaries, yet could be accomplished with requiring on the part of those gentlemen any extraordinary sacrifice. Now, however, that the duty has become so onerous, and requires so touch time to be devoted to even the minor details of business, your com mittee have felt that it is absolutely necessary that assistance be engaged to relieve the honorary secretary of the more toilsome portion of the duty. Your committee have therefore placed at the disposal of the . honorary secretary a suns of money annually. for the purpose of enabling him to obtain the aid winch has thus becOme necessary. " Your committee cannot take leave of this subject without noticing, in a particular manner, the valuable services rendered, most handsomely and gratuitously, by those gentlemen who have undertaken 'the secretaries' department. 'lo Mr. Hebbert es pecially your committee feel bound to say that much of the prosperity of the association is attributable, and that to him is due the highest praise you can bestow, for the.urbanity and at tention, the intelligence and ability, that have always distin guished his conduct in the business of the association. In coufonnitv to the law which provides for the annual assembling of the members, and the dining together on the occasion, your committee have prepared a dinner at the Town hall, to which they have invited, in addition to the members of the association, a number of distinguished friends of the conser vative cause in this part of the kingdom. Its doing- this they have found it necessary to fix the .price of, their,tickets at au amount which places it out of their power of some of the mem bers, and of very many of their other friends who have not yet formally joined them, to be present on the occasion., Your committee therefore recommend that a dinner be provided, at as early a period as possible, for.such of their members andfrienda as may be unable on account of the expense, or of accidental causes, to be present at the anniversary dinner, and that a sub scription be raised forlhe special purpose of defraying those large additional expenses which the assembling them together in one place will necessarily occasion. " The retrospect of the past year affords your committee abundant cause for rejoicing, and also warrants the most favourable hopes and anticipat►ons with regard to the future. Instead of the intense hatred of our venerable church, which existed before the association commenced its layouts, and open hostility to our time-honoured constitution, which the evil disposed had so sedulously endeavoured to diffuse, and which they had partially prevailed in exciting, your committee find the old and truly English sentiments of loyalty to the King, affection fOr the church, and devotion to our free and happy country, again pervading the breasts of all ranks of our British fellow subjects. " They found the enemies of the Constitution, but a year ago, numerous, proud, and confident, and its friends too generally silent, inactive, and indifferent. They leave the foes of true civil and religious liberty clamorous indeed, but distracted and dismayed, and the defenders of the altar and the throne aroused to the sense of the dangers that menace both, and Prepared to defend with their lives and fortunes our venerable constitution of -church and state."

The following letter appeared in a late number of our Lon don contenaporary and namesake : TO THE EDITOR OF THZ STANDARD. Fui nival's Inn Sic,-1 am a plain practical man. I have thought a good deal about a practical mode of relieving the landowner and far mer. More I think is to be done by a detailed attention to the various interests of the agricultural community, than by any sweeping measure for altering the standard, or the issuing of Exchequer bills. A farmer draws his income from his grain, or his grass. Grain, God knows, gives little enough, and I don't know very well how to make it give more whilst we produce as much as we du, and no doubt wheat lands must some of them be thrown up. Why should we not then turn our attention to grass—from arable to pasture land ? First then. I would ask, why so lar ge an-importation of Ras sian tallow should be allowed at so low a duty, as it now comes in at? If that duty were raised (ruin three pounds to ten pounds a ton, evety man's stock through the country would be im proved, and to an extent beyond what appears at first sight. It appears that Russia sends us annually about 50,0(X) tons of tallow; and it appears from the inquiries . l have recently made in the city, of tallow brokers, that the United K ingdoui produces about double this quantity annually, or 100,000 tons. All this home foreign produce is consumed in the making of soap and caudles, and more might be produced if it were encouraged as it ought to be. Now, I agree with Lord Stanhope, who says, " protect the labourer." My plan will not hurt him. I also agree with all agriculturists, who say the manufacturing interests and ours are one. My plan will not hurt them. It is simply this :—Get rid of the tax on soap, and put the tax on tallow. The consumers of soap and candles are the same iudividuals, so they won't be injured by the transfer. If they lose upon tallow, they will gain upon soap. So much for the consumer. As for the manufac• turer, if he gets a high duty oft he will see his trade extend ; and, at all events, he gets rid of the interference of the excise, and we all know what that is in the mater of malt. So much fur the soap maker. Then we come to the farmer, and what shall we gain; Why clearly, as we only go abroad for what we cannot get at home,. if we raise the price of-that, we raise the price at home of home tallow, or, whet is the same thing, we make our stock worth more. If, therefore, we tax this foreign tallow as I propose, and should only raise our own but half the amount of the new tax, it will be 1.15 on 100,000 tons, or half a million per annum in our favour, and benefit all classes—the consumer, for at least he saves the expense of the excise; the manufacturer, for he gets rid of it; and the farmer, who God knows, needs it. I am, Sir, your humble servant, A FARMER'S FRIEND. THE ANCIENT BARONS. (FOR THS LIVSRFOOL STANDARD.)

According to the Morning Chronicle thesidrm bill has produced a new race of animals itere centre of England—animals that in former times were called Pa triots, and were considered as belonging to the intelli gent classes, but which are now termed swine Yes, of a verity, the Morning Chronicle has made this grand discovery I The yeomanry of Northamptonshire, who, when they returned members of the House of FM'. WILLIAM to parliament, were held in high estimation by the whig press, as intelligent and independent men, have recently sunk down to the level of senseless brutes'. They hat;e returned Mr. MAUNSELL, the conservative, as their reprsSentative in the House of Commons—they have rejected Mr. HANBURY, the whig—they have dared to think for themselves and disobey the mandates of the whig aristocracy, and, therefore, they are nothing better, than herds of The ministerial journal to which we allude, in de scribing the conduct of the electors of Northampton shire in the contest which has ended so happily and tri umphantly, publishes the following as if from a corre spondent : "The liberal interest has, I regret to say, suffered a defeat to-day, which no efforts that can be made to-morrow will be able to repair. No artifice has been left untried, no influence been - withheld, no chicanery neglected by the tory party; and the glorious result is, that Mr. Maunsell is placed at the head of the poll by the most ignorant, drunken, and brutal electors in these kingdoms, who have been treated and fed, and driven up to the poll the whole day, like herds of swine!.'!" Those who win can 'afford to laugh at vulgar in solence such as this; but it teaches a lesson which is full of valuable instruction. 'The whigs have so long ridden rough-shod ever the electors of Northamptonshire, and its representatives have for so many years been the mere. nominees of the houses of WENTworru, SPENCER, and RUSSELL, that they lose their temper, and forget the common courtesies of life, simply because they cannot endure defeat. But defeated, signally defeated, the whigs have been, and they must submit to the conse quences with just as much or as little fortitude and resig nation as they please. The drama of Devonshire has been reacted' at Kettering, and poor Mr. HASltunir bas played his part quite as well as dia Lord JOHN RUS'SELL• The beer is all sour-but they must drink it to the very dregs. There are two points connected with this conservative victcry which it is our duty to hold in remembrance. Ist. Mr. HANBURY, the whig candidate, knowing the prevailing feeling, dared not meet the electors on the hustings without' disclaiming all connection with the Irish rebel, and declaring, in the inost unequivocal terms, that he hated O'CONNELL ! 2d. By the admission of the whips the reform bill is, morally and politically, as far as they are concerned, a decided failure. We say nothing as to Mr. HANBURY'S motives in pub licly expressing his hatred of O'CONNELL. It is enough to be assured of the fact; for no sane man would make anysuch confession unadvisedly, or without truly enter taining the sentiments be avowed. There are those, We know, who question Mr. HANBITRY'S sincerity, and view the expression solely as an electioneering clap-trap. We see no reason for participating in such an opinion. Oa the contrary we believe that the honourable candidate was sensibly alive to the disgrace which his party has in curred by placing themselves, bound hand and foot, iu the remorseless clutches of O'CONNELL. He could not help observing that the union between the Whigs and the characterless agitator has annihilated whatever share of respect which the latter once had in the recollections of the people of England. He must have seen that the very name of the popish rebel was held in detestation by three-fourths of the electors he had canvassed—that both the man and his principles were alike abhorred by the in telligent middle classes of Englishmen—and that no admi nistration could possibly stand, and no parliament be po pular, which tolerated or countenanced the reckles ca lumniator of the protestant institutions of Gteat Bri tain. This is the light in which candour compels us to view the conduct of the discomfited Mr. HANBURY. If the hatred be acknowledged he felt towards the " dear friend'_' of ex-Sheriff RAPHAEL had been only .tssumed, in order to gain a few stray votes, that would alter the case entirely, and place Mr. HANBURY in a position not more enviable than that of Lord MELBOURNE or Lord JOHN. RUSSELL, and would, in fact, sink him to the de graded level, marked by hypocriAy and baseness, bfrned dacity and dishonesty, winch Dar4tEt, himself occupies. But in whatever light the public are disposed to view Mr. HANBURY'S conduct one thing is clear enough, namely, that the people of England are resolved that nei ther O'CONNELL, nor his Majesty's ministers, nor any majority in the lower house of parliament, shall be - st' lowed to touch, with their polluted fingers, any of the' outworks or bulwarks of the protestant church. This is now a settled point. DANIEb has written and talked himself down in the estimation of the people of England. Popery and O'CONNELL are beginning to be understood. So long as he confined his oratorical efforts to the arena of an - Irish mob, the great mass of our countrymen took little or no interest in his speeches, his swagger, or his movements. The moment, however, that he set fortlron his travels, and commenced a crusade against the peer 9 and the reformed churches of England and Scotland, vi- lifying all that was noble, libelling all that was sacred, slandering the most virtuous of our countrymen, and calling a few thousands of Irish hodmen the people of England"—from that moment he dug the pit for his own destruction, roused the careless from their slumbers, and made every honest man in these realms his determined and inveterate enemy. So strong and irresistible is this feeling new, that we defy all the arts of man to save O'CONNELL and the MELBOURNE administration from disgrace and ignomiiiios ruin. The premier maycleny, Lord JOIIN protest, Lord BROUGHAM rave, and .every whig whipster from JOHN CAM HoBHoUSE down to Bo- BUS SMITH, the humblest of CA'sfs subalterns, nay dis claim all connection with the rebel; but no oneliaarrin Eng land will give them credit for a word they...otter..-;nere; my lords and gentlemen, is Shell's speech at ThitY: 44 ' In that the treaty is openly avowed and recognised.
