therefore, lake this mode of 11.1.1.essing thee. through you,
and of yam to those kind fiielols who bare dams are
the hoositir thus to mark Owl, sense of my Parlsaaseatary
conduce, my sincere awl heat ifelt thanks.

shostil hare idtfeetl fat mysrtf to be unworthy of the
trust confided to me by my constituents, if I had hear(
unmoved and silent the gross calumnies to which you allode
to that hirers. My constant reatdenee sositottal rim, my
lung anil istinsote itegrestot once with the. ernstiniewas of lbw
popsla►ioa of this, Falsely called disturbed, iiteltict, ambled
toe at hsb, •
withort hesitation, to declare my consci-
entious* emivietiosi that flume who had celled the attention
of Par!alnico to yogi, had bee. misled by calnousions and
tan reuted iufurmatiod.
Subsrqu•nt events have proved the ertmectoese of my at.
seVUua, and although I have MN succeeded is exempting
this County from the operation of an Act, which yur
hilly denominate a Asg►ant violation of the constitutine, I
hose yet the etosaiilatiou to knew, that the justice and pro.
ratty of its application to the WM:Wants of this district, is
denied by every mail of independence sod patriotism within
its limits.

I ■rn gratified to think that my opposition to the other
measures is eonsoilaut with your feelings. That
they were, as yule say, CO many stroke towards &amities's'
was my firm belief; and it became, tberefore.my sacred duly
to eurleavuur, as far as was within my power, to p►event
their enactment. The attempt, as was natural to expert is
a House of Commons constituted like the present, failed—
mid ling/islissea, if they now enjoy any liberties, pewees
thew nof dry right. but refferalwe.
I consider Hie main cause of these, and other enerearls-
menus us our rigid• mid privileges, to be the corrupt state
of the reprete-iiiition, sad I have therefore given that notice
of a mutton to which you advert. I rejoice that its object
meets with your .pprobalan, and I trust, that you will ex-
ercise what slender means of petitioninp are left you, under
the present system, to declare to Parliament your sense of
its importance and nee.li ty.
In thus echoing your oentiments respecting the unhappy
state of our country. deprived es it is of its dearly won cud
long-cherished liberties, I may be, perhaps. again told by
some R J Calumniator. some Priestly Libiller, that I
am N wantonly toasts( about the torch of sedition." Be it
so—his impotent attacks will but show his own weakness
soul in, sirehltlb—his dilleieney in those qualities which
ought to distinguish the Ministers of oar holy religion,
will but again excite pity and contempt—his denunciations
will call forth again, as they have now, the expression of the
esteem and confidence of my countrynsto, the attaimseut
of which is the only recompense I anticipate ur desire.
For your anstiments of regard towards myself. accept my
warmest acknowledgments, and I beg you to rest a d
that when the proper period arrives, PO exert isms shall ►e

county of Durham. I remain, Sir,
Tour obliged humb'e Servant,

GRAND DINNER TO TIM SOUTH TYNE
YEOMANRY CAVALRY.

On Tuesday, the 4th instant, an elegant entertainment
was given by the !Magistrate* of Cheater Ward, its the county
of I)iirhans, to Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Burden and
the Officers of the &mils Tyne Yeomanry Cavalry. At half.
past five o'clock abort 40 Gentlemen sat down to dinner, at
the Black Roll lea, Gateshead, comprising a great proper-
lion of the Magistracy of the ithirict, some of the Deputy
Lieutenants, and several of the Officers belonging to the
corps of the Right Hun. the Earl of Strathmore, sad Sir
Thomas Claveriaig, Bart. The ('hair was most ably lilted
by Adam Askew, Eeq of Red.Resels; and the same may he
mid of the Vsee•Cliatr, in wheels was seated Robert Shaw,
Eaq. of Usieurth-house. The dinner itself was in every re-
spect deserving of praise: it consisted of three separate
courses, served up in excellent order, and was exhibitory, in
fact, of all that was choice, delicate, and in season. The
wines, too, weir (quality riddled to notice; they were such
as might please even the fastidious palate of a reSued con-
noisseur.
Shortly after the cloth was withdrawn, and immediately
subsequent to the toasts of II the Rine and the Prioce
Regent and the Royal Family," the Chairman ruse, and, in
as impressive Address, proposed the health of Lieut.-Colonel
Sir Thomas linrdon, and the Officers of the South Tyne
Yronisury Cavalry—a corps (the worthy Chairman observed)
that was wel l entitled to the best praise he could bestow ;
fur they were ever, and upon all occasions, ready to assemble
when the Civil Power 'ought their assistance. And it wan
strictly due to them to say, that, when the bugle wooded, a
quarter of sin hunr could hardly elapse before they were on
horseback, at their post. Such promptitude and such 'oA-
cncy in the whole body of the men could not be too much
noticed, nor ton highly appreciated. And most assuredly the
Magistracy, collectively, felt, as he did, i.idividually, that the
country was greatly lads bled to those patriotic and
able individuals who sacrilleed their private convenience to
the public weal. Under these circumstances (confirmed the
speakes), I declare that I have isseepreesible pleasure and
satisfaction iu seeing round the table those meritorious and
gallant mew—who composes force so congenial to the C4lll
stitution—and who, whew called upon, invariably display
that alacrity and zeal on behalf of their country, which is,
in fart, heyoud all praise. Thus impressed (added the wor-
thy Chairman), I beg leave to return my best thanks to
Lieutenant-Cults/eel Sir Thomas Bunko and the Officers of
his corps, for honouring the Nlagistrates of the district with
Miele company this day; and, in drinking their health.. I,
from the bottom of my heart, wish them every possible good
luck and prosperity. The Chateman sat down amid load
and cuntisued applause.
Sir THOMAS Buaw,r then rose, sad in animated and ex-
cellent speech, of which the following is a mere outline, re-
lented thanks fur the hammer which the Chairman had, in so
truly hastiest:tie a amasser, maimed upon him and his
brother Oilier's. " If," said 4it TIMMS, si I am thanked
fur the efficiency sod auldier.kkecoodect of dossier I have
the Ismiour to CUUIIII4POI, I am but dealing justly when I
aver, that it is to themselves, both oaten and mew, that I
am beholden for receiving au flattering aid primal a compile.

And he bad no doubt, he added, bat the brave nes he
felt each pride in being a leader to, world ever Aerials the
ease masinsents, and bold themselves in readiness elissefolly
to obey their country's call—be that call either to fails a fo-

dered by issierual disoord.—Gleal applause followed this
speech.
