After the cloth was withdrawn, Non Mobil Doniine

east a great triumph, toot only to the electors, but

tired promise nothing, he would continue to de-
serve and secure the:r support; and as for Mr.
Whitbread, the path was chalked out for him.
/tom svh:ch he would never depart, and they would
att,-aya find in hint a steady, uniform supporter of
the rights and liberties of the people in the Com-
mon* !loose of Parliament. He concluded by
proposing us a toast—
" The Independence of the County of Shad'e's'', and its

alien it load ceased—
Mr. Brae tom. and after returning his thanks
for tie flattering manlier in which they had been
pleased to drink his health, coupled with that of his
Holt. Colleague, said, that front his first outset in
I.fe, lie had always ronvidered the approbation of
his fellow-ciiizens es the must valuable reward which
a public man could receive for the performance of
ilia duty, and lie had no doubt that so lung as he
merited it, he should continue to receive their sp.
prowsl and support. They had all seen many
"changes; they had tern augtnentotiou of taxes
and demerit of comforts ; they find seen new laws

The next toast given was— --
a The Constitution as established in 11169."—Tune,
" Briton., tossed tear."
A Gentleman, whose name we could sun learn,
rase at the lower end of the room, to testify his
approbation of the conduct of Mr. Byng in attend-
ing to tie business of the County in Parliament.
Oa the health of the Members for Westminster
being giv-n
Sir FRAFCIS BURDETT rose, and said, that be-
fore returning thanks for the honour tlwy had done
him he would beg leave to congratulate the free-
holders of Middlesex on the success of the struggle'
which had placed the comity in that situatiou in the
eye of the public which it deserved to hold. A.
he had had the honour first to prevent their new
Member to their notice he would observe. that nu-
doubieelly the name he bore presented a strung
claim for their support, bat if it had nut been alto
backed by a strong p • iple it would have been
quite in vain to have commenced the struggle.
That great principle was reform iu the Commons
House of Parliament, the want of which was, lie
was convnicrd, the real and original cause of all the
evils under which the country now laboured. He
did not think the addition of one indepeueleist
vidual in the House of Commons was of any great
consequence, Ist asap expression of politic senti-
ment it was most important. and in that point of
view their success was a subject of great triumph,
and a good omen for that great measure
which he considered -sesitial to the salvation
of the country. lie thought this was not a
tame for rotertninitig lerlittivi of jealousy on
shades of difference on puiitical opinion, easel that
all persons having good inientiou. towards the pub-
lic should continue to act in concert ageing ass
enemy, who, without such ismsois in action, world
be too strong fur them ; without that concoid and
agreement they must look for failure, as iu fact
there could he no rational ground to expect success.
The Houourable Baronet now entered at some
length Into the argument for Parliamentary Re-
form, on the ground of th- iircreeity of retrench-
ment ; whirls, lie commie'', the Ministers could
not enter upon without a relnrnied Purlsainessl. Hr
congratulated the walling oa the prospect of some
amelioration from Ili,' inolion of Mr. Lamhtopi,
which, though he was uniecquainted with the deist*,
would be. he was sure, neither delusive nor defictent.
Before he sat clown he must ineestion one other sults
ject—they all knew the number of persons who had
suffered its the cause of reform. Now. whatever
they might think of individuals also had been thus
cruelly treated, he drought they would agree with
him, that they ought to give them whatever relief
it was in their power to afford. Few prowess in the-
country thought that the Manchester meetiug was
illegal, but it was quite obvious that the Chaarinan
and people assembled thought they were assembled
under the sanction and safeguard of the law.. They
were hard times when turn incurred legal ',enmities
without hei,..; aware that they were infringing sissy
law, and he thought it was impossible for any our to
have supposed that a sentence would have beets
petaled, such a- had been passed, upon Mr. Hunt.
Of that individual lie would say nothing, except
that, supposing him the wu-at man in the
world, they ought to support him when the li-
berties of the country mid the laws of humanity
were violated iii hits perms'. Under these feelings
he was anxious that something should lee done;
what thu should be was not for him to say, but
whatever emote might be adopted, he should he
most desirous of contributing. He concluded by
drinking all their health', and hoping they would
be found nuited in their rtfoks to put ass end to the
system of which they cumplamed.—(Applause.)

Mr. liusuousn returned lus thanks for the ho-

Mr. I..amoTos TOM., sod said he felt a mingled
srodoured of pleasure sod pain, at the toast just
drank—of pleasure, iu findiog his name so connect-
ed with reform ; and pain, to think that it had hot
lanes' into abler hands. Rut it was molter of the
highest salisfac'ovio to him that he should have the
support of their Member (Sir. Whitbread.) who
had consented to second nos motion, and whose
name was a pledge to the people, that his measure
would be ali that they could wish, in order to put
their rights sold liberties on the proper footiog.—
The outline of los proposed measure was ao eaten-
pion of the elective franchise to copyholders. lease-
holders, and householders. with • recurrence to
triennial Parliaments; and this. he hoped, would be
sufficient to piously all true friends to reform and
constitutional liberty. He was not surprised at
what his lion. Friend felt at proceedings which be
had witnersed since be had been in Parliament—
he who bad sat there for a much longer period,
and was consequently more callous, still felt
starts of indigoatioto, nsort• particularly et that
Sewell job—that alone shelved the necessity of the
reform which they wished for. On the subject of
the calumnies which had been rrccntly circulated
'linnet him by the Courier Newrpoper,lw would cob-
se•ve, that while the mew Imre of the Church employ-
ed themselves in works of charity, agreeably to that
religion which they professed, he bottomed them;
but when he saw them crtepiog about, canvassing
and caballing. and rudemrouriog to promote their
own interest by any means, then he would say
that they hsd not a mere decided enemy than he
was. The Hon. Gentleman then sat down amid
loud applause.
