THE DINNER.
Ths hoar of dinner was announced to be five
&dock, end at that hoar the great stair.ease of the
Crown and Anchor Tavern was crowded to excess,
and the electors, taming forward to dinner. became
at length so numerous and clamorous. that a con-
siderable degree of confusion arose, which increas-
ed wood the doors of the great room were thrown
open at half-pad six o'clock. Then the greatest
inronvrnirnce was felt from the pressure of the
crowd, fur it was foonJ that the room bad been in
a great pert filled through private moors before
the folding-doors were thrown open to the public.
The consequence of which was, that the persons
unable to obtain seats, many of whom had bean io
the profess' during the tiny. mounted on the
tables and olemmided an inquiry into the treat-
ment they haul received. They desired to know
why they had been For nearly two hours kept

person had then eutrred the st g-room. and yet
Stbpa the doors wets opened, or rather thrown

tirely filled, and the of r served up.
In vain were several efforts made to explain away
the noph.raraour occurrence. Several Geutlenten
said tlw Stewards were not to blame, others re-
tort.d, and many loudly called for an explanation
teom the landlord. Its the midst of these retains
and appeals, Sir Francis Burdett entered the room.

effect. and the loudest demands for inquiry were
atdl anode by the persons who conceived themselves
ill-treated before the alining-room was thrown open.
The covers were takers off, and the refreshing
prospect of ail ample and excellent dinner was tried
upon the company who rushed into the room, hut

would eagerly embrace the opportunity of rejoin-
ing them when every man had partaken of the good

If they considered for a moment, they must be
struck with the fact, that their momentary discos-
tem arose from the patriotic straggle which every
man was snaking to record by his presence the
nith of his principles. The only ground of
contention seemed to be. that this, the largest room
in London, was inadequate to the full recep-
tion of the true friends of liberty. Did they
really expect they could find any room in the me-

became absolutely necessary, and Mr. J. W. Hob-

It is obvious that a great mistake has 'risen on the
present °cession. The landlord has confessed and
apologised for his part of the error; I now stand

logy for whatever branch of the error you may at-

retired to adjoining rooms, where excellent dinners
were soon provided for them. After which they
returned into the great room to partake of the coil-

said, to congratulate the Meeting on the glorious
victory they had so recently obtained against the

of Administration—and then, secondly, to pro-
pose the health of an illustrious individnal in the
manner in which it had so often been his lot to do
at these anniversaries—a health that he now felt they

would receive with increased enthusiasm and delight.
(Applawu.)—For himself he had only to say, that
he was deeply sensible of the honour so repeatedly
assigned to him, of proposing the health of their
excellent Representative, Sir Francis Burdett.—
He (Mr. Stureh) had invariably been the friend of
Reform in Westminster, snd he was mare than
amply rewarded for his public services by their ap-
probation. In return for these marks of applause,
he would only say, that great as was his repect for
the name of their excellent Representative, for his
character, his fortune, his rank in life, his amiable
manners, and above all his splendid abilities, yet
not all these would command his vote, if, in his

The band struck up " Mite Britannia" and

The CHAIRMAN theu rose. but was for a milli-
derable tune prevented from returning thanks,
owing to the loud land continued cheers of the
Meeting. He commenced, as soon lei silence could
be obtained, by saying. that he felt himself totally
unable to return Ms thank. in an adequate manner
' to the inhabitants of this great and enlightened
city. for the numerous marks of esteem and regard
which they had given him, mid for which he was
vain enough (if vanity it could be called)
to feel an honest pride.—(Great applanse.)—
It was now twenty-three years since he had taken
the Chair in that room, at a meeting convened for
urging a Reform in Parliament; the same prin-
ciples which lie had on tlatt occasion distinctly
avowed, he had since maintained and end red
to enforce, though under those occasional modifi.
cations which circumstances required, with a view
to the ultimate attainment of substantial benefit;
He remembered with gratitude the uniform amok.
auce of his worthy friend. Mr. Sturch, in the
cause of Reform, and was highly gratified with
his good opinion throughout three successive elec.
rime,. The first pride of his heart was to receive
the honest support of his countrymen for his honest
efforts to promote their interests.—( Applause.)—
It war said that he had held riff from the friends of
liberty with an undue pride, as if he aimed at hold.
ing a separate and exclusive influence. This was
not the fact, though it was true enough. be had
kept aloof from mere party politics. and had
avoided pursuing selfish or personal means to attain
paltry ends at the expense of the great questions
which involved the rights of the people. It was
this feeling which prevented his taking the part
' solicited from him in the early part of the last elec.
tion--he thought it would have looked like corn-
muting, for the mere ambition of a seat in Parlia-
ment, the high ground ou which the question of
Reform stood.—(dpplaese.)—He had not shrunk,
during fifteen days of a former contest at Middle-
sex, to add his labours throughout the fifteen nights
of these days to promote the cause of Reform. This
cause did not now require such exertion—it was well
understood, and universally appreciated. Ile had re-
lied on the soundness of their principles, and they
had not deserted him. Mr. Sturch had said, that
he (Sir Fiat:cis) was not likely to desert them, but
lie had added, that Lord Castlereagh was likely
to become their Chatrinsii.—( langh.l—There
was nothing impossible, particularly when they re-
collected that the Noble Lord had commenced his
political career in Ireland by a solemn pledge to
promote Parliamentary Reforin.—(4 laugh.)—
The Noble Lord had, however. allowed his
opinioae to suffer a lapse during twenty-five
years, but it was a strong indication of the
power and growth of Reform, and its strong
hold on the public mind, when that Minister felt
it necessary to revert to such a topic to ward off the
public mind from h s acts, and make this effort
to sacrifice any thing but his phice.—(Appluese.)—
The worthy Chairman then proceeded to state that
hie principles were not shaken, but confirmed by the
' experience of a eerie. of year*. He had originally
learned them from the precepts inculcated by the
great meta who brought about the Revolution, and
from the writings of Machiavel, Milton, Locke,
from Camden, Chatham, Saville, Pitt (before be
was a Minister), Fox, Sir William Jones, and
other great and distinguished men. The worthy
Chairman then alluded to the intended ab-
sence of his late upright and honourable col.
league, Lord Cochrane, whose services had made
him so justly popular, and whose exertions in another
hemisphere would he, he trusted, equally useful
and advantageous to the cause of lib. ry. His present
colleague (Sir Samuel Roundly) was a man of great
ability arid iiitegnty, sod he fondly anticipated that
be should find in him a warm and steady supporter
of the best interests of the people. The day of
Reform had now shed its strong light on the
people; when even Lord Castlereagh confessed
himself a moderate Reformer, what might they not
expect.—(Laughter.)—This reminded him of the
master who emoted for some particular purpose to
get sit the secrets of Isis servant, and who said to
him—" Have I not always been 141 you a moderate ,
master ?" when the servant replied—" Yes, indeed,
you have been moderate enough"—so they would
find Lord Cestlereagli's Reform moderate enough.
It was, however, as lie had before said, useful to
find the word Reform on the Noble Lord's lips. if
lie had it not in his heart.—(Applause.)--•But then
there was another Gentleman who was most candid
in his opposition to every species of Reform—lie
meant Mr. Canning, that great commander of
words, fur if he were any thing it was that.—
This Minister hail been of late greatly preised for
his speeches at Liverpool—they were circulated
with more than common assiduity through the Go.
raiment Prints in the country, and it became ne.

which the Elector. of West.niiister liad obtained
during the late contest, and lamented the array
which had been brought to bear on the popular in-
terest, particularly the misapplied influence of Lae
dies in such a cause as that to which they had been
unguardedly influenced to lend their powerful aid.
The worthy Baronet in conclusion, illustrated the
growing feeling for Reform, by quoting Milton's
tine apostrophe to Liber4

" Methinks I see in RI mind's eye,
A great snd pow'rfel nation rousing herself,
Like a strung an after sleep," &c.

A number of patriotic ►oasts were given in the
course of the evening, and several Gentlemen ad-
dressed their acknowledgments to the Meeting.
The company did toot vep4ride until a late hour.

PARIS PAPERS.

PAW!, JULT 10.

Lord Wellington had • cosiference yesterday
with their Excellencies the Ministers for Foreign
MEd's, the Marine, and the Ambassadors of Eukes
land, Naples, and Spain.
The Journal des illaires, speaking of the ann7w
versary of the nth or July, thus expresses itself :
"Three years have hardly passed since the second
return of his Majesty, and France has already esta-
blished her credit, re-constituted her army, and
improved her finances.' Tranquillity is restored to
every mind, 'ware is given to consciences, and
every where order is established upon respect for
..the laws. Such are the 4eiefits derived at home
from a Sovereign who, fgr:Trom presenting himself
to his subjects as a seeere judge, has chosen to be
their conciliator; and if abroad the French nation
resumes its Tank age! ancient consideration, it owes
it altogether to the Monarch's wisdom, and to the
veneration iiiiipired into all Europe by his eminent
qualities. His strength consists in justice, and his
policy in rectitude. The virtues of the Prince have
been the rampart of the people ; while in their turn
the people, repaying love for love, *ill become the
rampart of the throne by their most loyal fidelity.
" Every thing announces the approaching libe-
ration of our territory. We shall then have, at the
next anniversary. to thank his Majesty for a benefit
which will complete all the others."

The following is an account of a combat between
a man and a sturgeon, in the district of Louvain:—

This fish, about tie pounds in weight, and eight
feet in ie►►gth, having passed the sluices of Melina
and Welchter, was perceiged by a domestic of the
ferrymen. On seeing the animal, which, on ac.
count of the shallowness of the water, was half
uncovered, the man, armed with a pitchfork, flung
it at the fish with violence. The sturgeon being
wounded, struggled. and succeeded by its efforts in
disengaging itself. This contest was renewed three
times, but on the third the sturgeon precipitated
itself into a gulf. In the mean time the intrepid
domestic, seeing his prey escaping, called to his
master: the entire village followed him to witness
the conflict. The intrepid domestic then plunged
after the fish into the gulf, seized ir, and strug-
gled body to body with the enormous sea monster.
The animal finding itself seized, overturned its
adversary, and it was for a moment feared that ■ll
was over with him, but in • few minutes he spin
appeared oil the surface of the water. An old man
advised that ropes should be drawn round the body
of the animal, which advice was followed with suc-
cess, and the inhabitunts witnessed with joy the
animal drawn to the shore in triumph.
