DINNER AT SUNAULAND
IN CELEBRATION OF TILE TRIUMPH OF
INDEPENDENCE.

It being expected that Mr. Lainbton would addles. the
inhabitants of Sunderland we Tuesday last, previous to the
dinner fixed fur that day, in celebrate the signal victory
achieved by the Friend* of Liberty, in the reelection of
that Gentleman as one of the Representatives of the County,
an amazing conconrse of persons met him un his entrance
into the town, and drew him, amidst reiterated cheers, the
waving of handkerchiefs and display of colours, to the front
of the Exchange. We may trimly affirm, that full three-
fourths of the entire population of the place were collected
together, will all seemed animated by one common feeling
of proud exultation, and an unaninson• spirit of ardent en-
thusiasm. The immense number of Inman beiuga on the
declivity awl lower part of the High-street, forming, in
appearance, a solid body, when viewed from au elevated
position, presented to the eye of the spectator a gratifying
and imposing spectacle; but what constituted the most
edifying and impressive part of the scene, was the evident
patitical int which all classes felt in the splendid issue
of the late contest. Had a similar scene been witnessed a
few years ago, it would have been more the triumph of an
individual, or of family infinence, than of political know.

erected in front of the Exchange, to the following effect:—
He said, that in addressing so large au asseinblage, it •uuld
be impossible to snake himself heard by any considerable
portion unless they preserved the most profound silence.
He could not find words to express the feelings which he
entertained at the glorious result of the late contest, which
had pre-eminently plated him again in the p d situation
of their ftepementaiive.--(Appittase.J—Nutwithmanding the

the sense of a vast majority of the freeholders of the county.
—(Applause..)—lf any pertains felt distressed to dispute the

had they hero necessary. These two number. put together
made 3.214 vines; a majority which, in proportion to the to.
tat number of fr.-doublet., was unprecedented its ar.y county.
Let those with whom the contest originated look at this--

which he hod polled, three were upwards of Pf)a plumper.,
and hail the contrast been protracted to the end of the pe-

plumper.. Let them look also to the vast multitude amend

iohabitanu of the county et large.—(.4pplawee ;—To the
freeholders of Sunderland and the two Wear ttttt ugh. he would
say, that, although in-every part of the county his reception
bad been most gratifying, it had been ass where more so
than among them—they had come forward nobly in the ens.
lat—he hail found among them tansy of his firmest and
stoutest friesids—and it was there where he hail ainessed

but should ply thing more be required, he could only assure
them that nu effort should ewer be wanting ow has part to

independence. If ever there was a time when the people of
Eugland should choose only such Represeutrnives as would
assert their rights mail defend their reanisisig liberties, ouch
a time was the present—a time of mpled distress,
caused by excessive emission, which was serenely felt by all.
—(Applause.)—At the commencement of the late reign
the interest of the naliossal debt was only three millions,
stow nu less a sum thou four millions was annually paid
to 10,000 collectors of she taxes. And how was the ins-
amuse revenue of near 71) millions expended? Partly to
keep up a standing army—au engine calculated to abridge

find him the advocate of every measure that could tend to

happiness of his fellow-creatures.—(Applause.)—He wished
his Majesty's Mantua. could wituess the vast assemblage
ha had thew the luosour of addressing—hearts beat* with
the love of liberty, glorying iu the otassikstat ion of their in-
dependeiter, mid proud to have set ass example, that no !let-
hal' cousidenlion could influence their milids,ur Make them
swerve from the path that led to the maturation of the
rights of Englishmen, and the consequent welfare of the
cottntry.--(Greal applarse)-He then adverted to the evi.
deuce which had transpired at York, relative to the proceed-
ings at Manchester, and which be considered allowed more
thee ever the necessity of a parliasitruirry invert carom into
the transactions to which lie alluded. The Honourable
Gentleman made a variety of other observations which we
extremely regret we are compelled to omit, and entreated ow
that occasion (a proud one to their mutual cause), that uo
ebullition of feeling might lead than from the straight for.
ward path of order and proprieey—tbat the firmness of their
manner when assembled, might only be equalled by the
order end peaceable demeasoer of their diapersion—that no
pretext might he gives to their opponents, to say that, meet-
ing in the isaiutestauce of ilwirrighes,lhat exultiug iu the
effort to regain those rights, they were uot the true triroda
of freedom, of peace, and of order. 'lle Honourable !Wern-
her then retired amidst the acclamation. of the immense
multitude.

pany sat down to Jima. rat the Bridge lon. Mr.Lambtua

every respect, on Mr. Jonsey, and gave universal satisfac-

" The King—Slay he never forget the principles which
seated the House of Brunswick on the Throne."

The CH•IIIMAY, oil riving to propose
" The Independence of glee County of Durham,"
prefaced it by observing, that often as it had been his for-
tune to address his countrymen, he bad never done so with
more satisfaction than on an occasion when he !milted ruuud
hint and saw so numerous add respectable a meeting, and
when be reflected that they were all equally engaged with
himself in maintaining the pure exercise of the elective
franchise. They had many times heard of the cause of in-
dependence being Wicked in this county, but never war a
more disgraceful combination formed egoista it than that
which had been just defeated. —(A pplause.)—Beit in propor-
tion as the parties who excited the opposition were low and
contemptible, in the same proportion were they supported
by the Gievernment and the Church, and all the engines of
purer.-.(App/asnie.)—That he had been able to withstand
the force brought against him, was owing to the sponts-
'mous and zealous support he had experienced from the in-
dependent part of the county ; sod be should indeed be un-
grateful if he did nut particularly ascribe his success, in a
very great degree, to the exertions of his friends in Sunder-
land. TIMM also 11:11i witnessed the progress of the poll at

compelled to vote fur Mr. Whartini.—(shamed. Shanie!)—
