The Bishop of Caserta rose, and proposed the health of the
Lady Mayorerd. He said it was peculiarly befitting the Chief
Mamstrate, who by his amenity of manners and his hospitality had
facilitated the interOpurte between the most opposite classes of
citizens, to preside on an occasion so Interesting to all the inhabi.
tante of the metropolis. The dudes which his Lordship had per-
formed were most admits& The company would, he was sure,
join with him in this token of tweet se her Ladyship, who had
soothed their host's was of Mike. and who had, in the very num..
'SIM entertainments which had 'been given at the Mansion House,
le eminently contributed to their splendor. As Citizens, u Eng_
haltmen, and.as Gentlemen, he was sure they would drink, with
the deepest respect, "The Lady Mayoress."
The health of her Ladyship was then drank with three this

The Loan Slatoe, in rising to propose the toast of " Iheeesw
to the New London Bridge," recapitulated the inconvenient:keel
the old structure, in the loss of lives which it occasioned, the injury
which it did to the navigation of the river, and the general obstruc.
don of traffic. If the loss of life were not a more than adequate
cause for its removal, the constant loss of property called for its
speedy removal. It was besides acknowledged to be a barbarous
structure, which was a disgrace to the nation and to the age. Hie
Lordship expressed his belief that the new structure would be
highly beneficial to the commerCe and the property of the city. He
proposed the toast of " Success to the New London Bridge," which
was drank with loud demonstrations of enthusiasm. His Lordship
then proposed "'l'he health of his Majesty's Ministers," who
had CO promptly snd liberally come forward to aid the City in the
undertaking.
Mr. IW. Wr nu, on behalf of himself and bis colleagues, re-
turned thanks. It was not 100 years since London Bridge was the
only channel of communication between one portion of the metro-
polis and the other. It wig now, however, found to be almost un-
equal to one.siath of the necessary traffic. Three of the other
grand bridges had been built within ten years. They knew
what industry was capable of; but he doubted not that the
the commencement of which they now celebrated, would be feu
worthy of this metropolis, which had long been the capital of the
arts and sciences; but he hoptl that it would soon be universally
acknowledged as the capital of the whole civilised world. (Ap.
plauSe.)
The healths of Lord Darnley, and the Peers who had honoured
the Lord Mayor with their presence—of the ['resident and Council
of the Royal Society--of the Members of Parliament present—of
the Architecv--of Messrs. Jolt& and Banks, the Contractors—
were then severally drank, and appropriate speeches returned.
At a little after ten o'clock the company left the Hall, and par.
took of tea and coffee in the adjoining rooms. They did not
separate until a Very late hour.

IDDLESEI DINNER.
The anniversary dinner of the Freeholders of Middlesex, In cam.
memoration of the return of G. Byng, Esq. and Samuel Whit-
bread, Egg. (the present Members) was held yesterday, at else Met-
maid tavern, Hackney.
About 120 persons sat down to dinner. Amongst the company
we noticed the County Members, (G. Byng and 8. Whitbread,
Esqrs.) Sir F. Burdett, Lord Nugent, J. C. Hobhouse, Esq.
M. P. Ate. &e.
S. Lefebvre, Esq. presided. The cloth basing been removed, non
adds was sung by the musics,' gentlemen present.
The Clieliwan then gave ' the King, and may he always re-
member his own declaration, that he holds the crown in trust ter the
people." The toast was drunk with the usual honours. The na-
tional anthem, "God save the King," followed.
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " the Duke of Sussex and the 1
Royal Family." Four times four. Song—" Glorious Apollo."
Then followed, " the only true source of legitimate power—the
people." Four times four.
The Cnarnmaw said the next toast which it was his pleasing
duty to propose, was nearly connected with the object of the pre-
. sent meeting. He regretted the absence of many friends to the
cause which this assembly catrie together to support. It could only
be ascribed to an interesting ceremony which many attended, lay.
ing the first atone of London Bridge. This was the sixth anni.
versary which had taken place, and it was not too much to say that
each succeeding commemoration became more interesting when the
consistent cor.dttct of their present worthy representatives was con-
sidered. If any thing could east a shade on the present meeting it
was the absence of many celebrated public characters, whose names
appear on the list of stewards. The time of public men was not al.
ways their own ; but if the interest of the Freeholders of Middlesex
called upon them to attend, he was sure the illustrious individuals
to whom he alluded, would give the benefit of their talents
and support on this occasion, as they had at all times
done in Parliament. In conclusion, he trusted that the union
which at present subsisted between the Freeholders of Mid-
dlesex and their Representatives may long continue. This
wish did not spring from any thing like party feeling, or an at-
tachment to those individuals who composed what is called the
Opposition in Parliament. He must say, however, that he had
never known a more disinterested Opposition than the present.
It was not an Opposition," to use the words of Swift, " that
sacrifices the interests of the many for sake of the interests of the
few." On the contrary, the present Opposition sacrifices the in.
terests of the few to that of themany ,Hear, bear.) But if tne
present Opposition was entrusted with power, it would become the
people of England to watch them as closely as they now did their
opponents. (hear, hear.) Such men as those who composed the
Opposition would never shrink under majorities of their own place.
men, nor screen themselves under Commissions which appointed
themselves to inquire into their own conduct. As long as the
House of Commons should remain unreformed, it was necessary to
support individual /Members, who remained independent of the
Government. The present Members for Middlesex rested their
claims to the approbation of their Constituents upon their public
conduct; he had thertfore unaffected pleasure in proposing their
•
healths. The Chairman, in conclusion, gave the healths of G.
Byng, Esq. and S. Whitbread, Esq., the Members fur the County
of 3iddlesex.
This toast was received with reiterated plaudits.
Mr. BYNO expressed his heartfelt satisfaction at the manner In
which this toast was received. Ile had so often had the ple.uiure of
meeting the electors of Middlesex, that he found it diffult to find
new words to acknowledge his feelings ; but to the end of his life
he would persevere in that line of conduct which had recommended
him to the friendship and confidence of the assembly. He had
the gratification of knowing, tbat no man had ever given him an
interested vote. He was supported by the Electors of Middlesex
only because they conceived he was actuated by a sincere desire to
promote the best interests of the country. He now promised them
that he should be found on all OCONSiOIIB the determined friend of
civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) Every man was responsible
for his own conduct to the world, but emery man was responible to I
his Maker for his religious opinions. The line of conduct he had
pursued was founded on this opinion, and so assured was he that It
had mat that approbation of his constituents, that he should come
forward to ask their support whenever an opportunity should
offer. (Applause.)
Mr. WHITBREAD said there was nothing which had ever given
him so much unalloyed satisfaction as the pleasure of meeting his
constituents year after year, and the unabated cordiality with wl.ich
he and his Hon. Colleague were reeeived by them. He and his
Hon. Colleague felt that they had independent constituents, and
therefore they were proud of the confidence reposed in them. In.
dividuals were ofi^n elected to serve in Parliament to forward the
private interest of the electors, but his constituents were not of that
description. They desired not public reform, and not to serve their
private interests, and in this great object he should always sup.
port them. It had been justly obsessed, that Ministers required
watching. In proof of this we need only look to the grant lately
made to the Duke of Cumberland. He would call this vote most
insulting to the country. The manner in which it was proposed
was more insulting even than the proposition itself. Ministers
themselves were not desirous to pass this grant ; but the manner In
which they were induced to bring it forward plainly proved how
easily they might be influenced, and what little difficulty they
found in influencing a majority of the House of Common,. There
was another subject to which he must advert, as it had attracted
his particular 'mention. He meant the disgraceful manner in
which private Committees of the House of Commons were cm,.
ducted. He bad himself intended to submit a proposition to Pas.
'lament on this subject, but it was now in better hands ; and he
should only say, that if the Hon. Gentleman who now proposed to
bring it before the House should neglect doing so, he (AIL Whit.
bread) would again take it up. He felt that in this and every
other instance, to the best of his ability, he hail supported the in-
terests of the freeholders of Middlesex, and, when circumstances
render it necessary, he should again come forward and request their
support. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRpoot next gave the Honourahle :Members fetWest.
minster, and he could assure those lion. Gentlemen that they were
nowhere more respected than by toe Freeholders of Middlesex.
Sir FRANCIS BuIaDETT rose to return thanks. He said it was
so many years ago since he had Ant become acquainted with the

FreehoMen of Middlesex, that few in the present assembly could
carry their minds back to that period, presenting so wilting a con-
trast as it did with the present. Those were times of great (latter
and insecurity to every individuel who stepped forwent to stein thit
torrent of power, or refused to succumb to the system of terror pin.

coestitntionel safety or security for any man: At that time, to its
etsenal hessur, the county . f 3liddleeex maintained constitutional

duct of Conimittensa Private Bills was oily one amongst man
evils; it was a spill en the leopard--a stain on a body covered with
leprosy. Unless an extensive remedy was applied, we may palliate
a trifling evil, but the disease will rentals in the same state In which
it exists at the present moment. He returned again to the priaciple
that nothing could be expected from a House of Commons consti-
tuted like the present. When an inquiry is made, 'ln compliance
with the irresistible complaint of the public, nothing is done
by the House of Commons that can be helped, and the effect often
is only to postpone the remedy or to perpetuate the evil. This was
well exemplified in the cue of the Court of Chancery, a vortex in
which the properties of whole familia is daily swallowed up. In
this cave, when the public complaints could no longer be turned al
deaf ear to, the House of Commons did not go to the root of the
evil; they only voted that • Commission, consisting of Lord Eldon
(the head of the Court of Chancery) and a few friends of Lard
Eldon's, should be appointed to inquire into the conduct of I ord
Eldon, and the practices of his Court. (Hear, hear.) 'ln this
way evils were carried to a most enormous extent : so inivu with
fees, not only in the Court of Chancery but in the Courts of Com-
mon Law, When fees were actually carried to such an extent as
to obstruct the course of justice, tor every rational man would
sooner give up his right than to submit himself even to the chance
of a nonsult. Some Reformer proposed in the House of Commons
to abolish fees, but to make the Judges an ample compensation
for these fees, which, in his (Sir F. Burdett's) opinion, they had
illegally levied. ,This was certainly less objectionable than allow-
ing them to fix their amount of their own salaries by taxing the
public under the name of fees; but he did not see why the public
should be burthened by an augmentation of the Judges' ;Abele%
It had been said that it was hard to find new words, to express sen-
timents we had so often met to interchange. It was not material
whether the words should be old or new, the object was to keep public
feeling alive, until the public complaints were 'satisfied. It was
not because Ministers consented to some amelioration of ..the
conditions of the ennntry, that the country should apprnee of
all their measures. Now, with respect to the liberal principles of
trade now ate! upon. Fernier Ministers opposed those liberal
principles, and were illiberal, through mistake, and not with any
intention to serve their private interests. The advance of know-
ledge, and the o pinion of reflecting men, had now produced a
change. But it had always been, as it now was, the interest of a
ministry, that the country which they governed should prosper.
The real virtue of a ministry is best proved by their disinclination
to dip into the public purse. The present Ministry had no pe-
culiar merit in this particular. The people had obtained every
thing ; though their condition was somewhat improved, the guar-
dian of the public interest were as faithless as ever, and the people
had made no progress in obtaining faithful stewards. Besides many
things which would have been looked upon with abhorrence some
years ago, had now become familiar. When barracks were first
erected in the country, and the army kept away trim the people,
it excited strong feelings of indignation, hut now men had grown
up to the practice and cared nothing for it. Many things now existed
which could not be approved of. The intolerant pnnciples of the
High Church Tory party remained unabated. This was the only
party which had ever advocated the atnominable doctrine of the
passive obedience. It was the influence of this party which de.
prived the Roman Catholics of their civil rights, because of their
religious opinions; and never was there a more base, hypd-
! critical, and silly pretence than that which deprived anybody of
men of civil rights, bemuse they held peculiar religious opinions.
lie was as ready as any man to be pleased when there was any thing
to be pleased with. He was willing to give Ministers all the credit
they deserved, but he thought they did not follow up the mind-
pies they profess. They are yet half a century behind the public
mind. Why have we the visitation of the Excise Laws continued ?
and why is the country covered with armed men, under the pre-
tence of protecting the Revenue. He wished that we had at least a
system of free commerce in our own country—he meant between
England, Scotland. and Ireland. As he had said in the House of
Commons, the !whole administration of justice should be looked to.
So enormous were the expenses of legal proceedings, that every
man had rather give up his legal right than go to these much-
lauded tribunals. In conclusion he would observe, that the evil
from which all other evils branch is, a badly constituted House of
Commons, which goes qand and glove with every abuse, and when
the public complain, give only a sham remedy, or as little remedy
as they can. The grant to the Duke of Cumberland had been
referred to. Unfortunately on the last division he was five minutes
late, and lost the opportunity of expressing hismpinion. It was
enough; the measure was most obnoxious. There was no individual
to 'photo a grant could be proposed, so objectionable to the people of
England as the Duke of Cumberland. As to the pretence of
giving it for the education of his son, it was most ridiculous. Ben
Johnson had said, " Princes were taught nothing but to ride, be-
cause a horse is a noble animal and would throw a Prince as well
as another." Men were rational beings; he wished they would
take the example of the horse. The true education for a Prince
would be to make him forget he was a Prince, or only to remember
he was a man. Nothing could be more absurd than to surround an
infant with state like a Grand Loma. It was no reason, because
certain blood flowed in his veins, that he should be shut out from
the common virtues of mortals, whilst he was destined to exercise
such an important influence over the happiness of his countrymen.
He would have said this to the House of Commons if he bad an
opportunity ; but he bad much rather say it to the present assem-
bly. lie would much rather address a set of independent men than
the House of Commons. As had been truly observed, the pre-
tence in the case of the grant to the Duke of Cumberland, was even
more insulting than the proposition ; and if as it was stated, it was
intended to enable his Royal Highness to return to this country,
he (Sir F. Burdett) would say, add 6.0001. to the six already
granted, and let hlm remain abroad. This grant sufficiently proved
that no sympathy existed between the people of England and the
hulk of their representatives in the House of Commons. It brought
him back to his text that no liberty or security could be depended
upon whilst things remain as they are. lie hoped English, Irish,
and Scorch, would lay aside every feeling of disregard to each
other, and cordially join in removing an evil which affects all
closes, the corrupt state of the House of Commons. This was the
long and the short the burthen of his song—like the none of the
cuckoo heard at this season of the year. The public had heard this
note from him fur the last twenty-five years. Ile hoped he should
have the honour to meet the present assembly for twenty five years
more; but long before the termination of this period, he hoped to
have to congratulate them on the enjoyment of their right to a full
and fair representation of the House of Commons. 'The Hon.
Baronet concluded amidst loud and long continued cheers.
Mr. liosuouse now rose to return thanks.. He said, after
what had fallen from his Hon. Friend (Sir F. Burdett) perhaps it
would be his part to remain silent; but he could not help ex-
pressing his satisfaction of witnessing the rare union between the
representatives and constituents of Middlesex. The freeholders of
Middlesex were the tint that had raised the standard of tette-
pendence, and that standard had never since bowed to the sword of
despotism. It was well that Ministers should claim credit for the
practice of liberal principles : but it should not be forgotten that
the people of England, in the worst of times, advoca'ed those
opinions which 51h-inters now acted upon. To the spirit of the people
of England Ministers owe all that makes them popular. In these
, halcyon days, however, whilst the people of England were sulfite:lg
' under what had been well termed'. a plethora of wealth," the fili.
' nisters should not press too heavily upon the public puree. During
the present Session additional salaries had been granted to Police
Magistrates, to Judges, to Princes, and to certain of the Ministers.
This was not the way for Ministers to keep themselves popular.
Unless the public kept a watchful eye upon the conduct of the
House of Commons nothing could stem the torrent of corruption.
Allusion had been made to the spots of the leopard, but the leopard
was beautiful, and he confessed he saw nothing beautitul in the
House of Commons; he should correct Finial; however; there was
some similarity in sound if not in senses.-if It was not like the
leopard it may be said to be like the leper. (gest, hear, and
laughter.)
•• The heath of Lord Nugent, and his Constituents," was then
given and received with considerable applause.
Loan NUGENT returned thanks. He thanked God he had
conetitsents. He was proud of the honour of a met, two, Hod
knows for sake of the Assembly, but because of the independence
of those who sent hint, and the liberality of those principle's which
they approved. It was not because of any personal COMlte-
lion with the Freeholuers of Middlesex that he had felt it
his duty to accept the invitation with which lie was honnumed.
His only connection was the sympathy he felt with every man who
valued.the purity of Election. That Assembly was met to pro-
mote a great cause, and it was only because he had supported that
cause, that he had enjoyed their approbation. The cause they met
to promote was that of Parliamentary Reform, and civilland rellginua
liberty. This cause may be postponed, but it must be ultima.ely
victorious. He must be a bad servant to the cause, and to the
public, who could not look forward through momentary defeat, to

the end of that hope so long deferred. Many, he knew, sonewnall
the cause of the people of England with more talent mud sad than
he &id, but nom with more sincere zeal. • (Applanse.) This win
the :inn time he bad the honour of meeting the Elector. of Middle-
sex ;he may be allowed to hope it would not be the lut He bad
thildbeil the principle.* of civil and religious liberty, which be hull
never deserted, from Mr. Whitbread, when a boy, and lie was rtrhe
proud in being allowed to celebrate the triumph of those principle*
in the person of that great man's son. (Continued cheers.)
h1i...11v so next proposed the health of the Chairman, which
ware rectiyed with loud cheers.
The CY/ORMAN returned thanks; and gave, " Civil and
Religious Liberty all over the world," which was drunk with
enthusizara.
Shortly atter the Chairman, and the individuals around Wm, re-
tired, and the Assembly 'separated.

Captain White, and the Rev. Mr. Hopkins, that while the prisoner
was returning from Wyton on IVednesday evening on the donkey,
he was observed a tittle on this side Hartford toll.bar beating the
poor animal most unmercifully. A considerable quantity of blood
was also Seen on the road, and was traced the whole way frogs
Hartford to Huntingdon. On discovering who he was, Captain'
White went to the home of Craighill and remonstrated with him
on his cruel unmanly conduct, when he received for answer—
" Yea, 1 bane stabbed the donkey, and I'll stab you too." Hor
had given a similar reply to the humane remonstrances of tbr
keeper of 'haunt toll-bar. The poor donkey had received a deep
cut near the throat and blvd most profusely—not content with thia„
the inhuman wretch had beat the animal in the most viola&
manner on his arrival at home, as was stated by a person living .In-•
