sharpest of their comtables, to proceed In London in order
to execute it, and fur this puepuire eoi. was granted him

snugly in his pocket book, together with his warrant,
and putting it in 164 breast-pocket, he arrived in London

is compliance with the invitation from I large bo.ly of
the Gentlemen, Yeomen, sod Freeholders of Herefordshire,
Mr. Heise left London on Wednesday last, fur the purpose
of being present at • public dinner which was given at the
Hotel. on Friday, when he was presented with an elegant
ffilver Tankard and Hogshead of Cider, purchased by a sub-
scriptiun of tine shilling each from •hunt 'l,OOO nervous,
who wished to " Testify their approbstion of his services
in Pa►liaisient, and acknowledge the korai' his exertions
have conferred on the country, in effecting • reduction in
the public expenditure, and demonstrating the practicability
as well as the necessity of rigid economy iu every depart.
meat of the Slate."

[Mr. arrival in Hereford, mid the dinner given to
him in that city, have beeu already briefly Pruetd in our
Paper.]
After several toasts bed been drunk—
Mr. J. ALVIN, jum then filling the splendid silver Tam-
Mud, gave it to the worthy President, and iequested biro its
the name of the Committee and the Subscribers, to present
it to Mr. Hume, as a mark of their esteem and approbation
of his public conduct.
Mr. Curer immediately rose, and spoke as follows
" Mr. Hoskim, and Gentlemen—You have probs.'!" sail.
cipated the toast I am now about to give, it is the health
of our guest, Mr. Hume. The Committee would indeed
have made a bad selection in the choice of a Chairs's% bad
eloquence becu necessary to induce you to pay any compli-
ment to the toast. 'The numbers (nearly 300, I believe), the
respectability of those whom I am roommate enough to be
surronnded with, the crowds that accompanied Mr. Home's
entrance into our county and city, speak more to the par.
pose !ham any thing that even an seats., could say. Nut
only, Grailemes, does the indefatigable zeal and ardent cou-
rage of our guest demand your gratitude, but in him yur
see a strong instance of what one man wnh talents aid
energy can do, sad of what impottame it is that in those
places, comparatively so few, where election really takes
place, the electors should be most careful in their choice.
Gentlemen, I believe Mr. Hume has with much laborious
■ssiduity not only stedied the subject, but that sight after
night he has sat up in the House of Common", dividing the
House sometimes with only tone on his side, undaunted by
the corrupt majorities that Ministers by their undue im-
amate cam command. He has trusted to the truth of his
statements, and though he could not obtain votes in that
House, yet the Minister" have is. some issuances adopted the
very reductions they dared in reprobate and ordered their
hirelings to oppose. M►. Hume, I shall now briefly state to
you, Sir, how the present I ■m to request you to accept
originated. Some admirers of your public conduct thought
a hogshead of our provincial liquor might be acceptable
to you as a testimony of our respect; they met, and having
talked the matter over, found so many persons disposed to
subscribe, that what was necessary to buy eider at one shil-
ling each, was so much surpassed, not only shillings enough
have beer paid fur the hogshead, but s tankard bas been
bought, some other expenses met, and I believe some sur-
plus will yet remain, which will by the Committee most pro-
bably be given to some of our charitable institutions ; it is
mot cooly krudreds of subscribers I am to mention, I might
nearly say t►orsauds, in the plecol. Sir, in the mime of
those sabserihers, I am desired by the Committee to request
you will accept the cider and this tankard, in testimony of
their admiration of your Parliamentary conduct." He dies
drank Mr. Hume's health from the tankard, and the follow.
iug inscription engraves upon it, was read to the company:
" Grateful for Public Services.
Tea INHABITANTS or HEREFORDSHIRE
Fresaut this Tatman°, sod a Hoossoutit of Canaan
To JOSEPH HUME, Esq. M.P.
As a Tarrnaosv of their Arpsoaalsox

Of his Parliammtary Coudiact,

1821."

After Mr. Clive had presenter: the Cup, Mr. Hume spoke
as follows :—He was unable to express is adequate terms
those feelings which the present moment occasioned. But,
as be, an entire stranger, considered the reception he had
this day met with, and the gifts be bad just received, as •
proof that his public conduct was approved of by so many
gentlemen is liseefordshire, he received them with pleasure,
as • proof of their attachment In the cause in which be was
engaged. He requested they would accept his siecereacknow-
ledgineuts for the honour they had done him, sad towered
them he would retain with much sot isfactiou the token of their
approbation. It was an honour which Wither money nor in-
Aueuce could command ; it was the ottbought and dis-
interested testimony of independsot men; and be, there.
fore, prized it more than any gift that could be bestow-
ed by the favour or caprice of any taw, however high
his rank, however great his ;wirer. He trusted that as
the present honour was a proof of their gond opinion
of his past services, it would prove a stimulus to fu-
ture exertions in the same cause—the public interest.
He was aware that his bumble efforts had been much
overrated, and that the benefits to the public its the
way of economy and retrenchment, were °wise to the sup-
port be had received from many of the Members of the
House, who, injustice, were entitled to • share of the ap.
prubation they were pleaded to bestow. He had the pleasure
to see several of three friends near him. His friend Mr.
Ricardo had been his most constant and zealous supporter
ou all these occasions—early and late he (Mr. Home)
could calculate on Mr. Ricardo 's support, sad he had
invariably secured it—to him, therefore, • large portion of
their approbation was due. Mr. Price, the County Meta-
ber,and Mr. Barrett, had also afforded bias their aid most
zealously whew ',resent; noel the names of the other Ho-
nourable Members who had so ably supported him,
although not very numerous in general, were before the
public, and, he trusted, welt known. He felt grateful
to all these Gentlemen for their efficient assistant*, suit
wished them to participate in the honours of the day.
Seel to the House of Commons by the independent and VII'
bought votes of his couutry men in the Royal Burghs of Mon-
truse, Arbroath, aud Brechitt, it was his ditty to watch over
their interests, and their interests were essentially those of
the public. He had long observed with sorrow the die-
tressed state of the country which pervaded all classes—the
country wax sick at heart of a grievous malady—it had long
oppressed the lower classes with want and wretrhedwrrs ; the
distal* was spreading to the middle and higher chime* of
society, and unless checked or removed, must soon rod is
dissolutior. The diacase ender which the country laboured
was excessive taxation—the cense, a long eouttiouance of
profuse and wasteful expenditure pervadiug every depart-
ment of the State, from that of the King to the private sol-
dier. Ott whatever side you looked, the inexuratite head
of taxation was dragging half the earning* el ',ideals,
and half the returns of property from every indit Moat, to
be squandered, • large porticos of it upon idle and useless
persons—osy, ow worse than useless, un mischievous pour.
posis; it was employed to corrupt uue portion of the com-
munity to betray the iesterrata of their fellow.conutrymeu—
to induce them to sacrifice to their selfish views those duties
they owe to the public', and to support • system ruinous fu
their country. The effects of such a system were too et 1-
deut—povert y and pauperism covered the land, the misers.
ble state of millions of the lower classes, the declining &tete
of our middle and must valuable countrymen, the ihreutened
ruin of our land-owners cud eapitalists; all, all Reese evils
were the melancholy effects of that extravagant system
now esisting. The object of good govertinneat wits the hap_
pities. of the unity, that they might enjoy the frusta of their
industry and the peaceable posseesiou of their rights—the
Government at prereut exists.% was one for the bessefit of
the few at the expense of the mute,: the larger sod moat im-
portant lutetium were in a state of beggary, whilst the, few
were supported in extravagance and profusion, Vas tkis

measures to check so sictous • sputa "ere see to suffer
any longer so great • perversion of the objects of good Go-
vernment ? He hoped not. He hail been tangles from his
youth, that the difficulties and miseries ariateg from extra-
vagasice could best be cured by economy and retreschateot. If

most effectual means of relirviug the sufferiags arising frees
