The Sun.
London, England, 1837-06-15 00:00:00

beautiful description of the cotter's Saturday night not to
effort of imagination, but the calm reality of life.
(Cheers.) He (Sir G. Sinclair) bad heard it stated as ob.
jectionable that the pastors of the Scottish Church had be-
come politicians.- Was it, he would ask, possible the
they should do otherwise than stand forward in defence or
the creed which they professed when they saw it assaulta3
from hostile quarters—was it possible that under circum.
stances of danger like those which reigned at present the*
should contrast the conduct of a political leader like Sir K.
Peel with that of the Government which had succeedld
him—a Government hostile by their constitution, profuse
in their expenditure, and interminable in their operations.
—(Laughter and cheers.) It was the duty of every Scotch-
man to stand forward in the defence of the united Protes-
tant Church of the empire. The toast which be had to
propose, therefore, was " The Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Established Churches of the Ucited Kingdom."—
(Loud and prolonged cheering.)
The Rev. Mr. CROLY returned thanks as a Member of
the Church. Since this day twelve months a great chcnge
had taken place. At the former period the Church of
England was pressed and injured by itinerant sedition, but
the City of London -Conservative A,.sociation had thrown
itself into the breach, and had .saved the country from
destruction. The great enemy of the country's liberty was
Popery, which it behoved the whole country to resist. The
whole Government of the country at present was carried on
by
y a faction of 35 Members of the House of Commons.
Mt'. BARCLAY, M.P., proposed " The Health of the
Duke of Wellington and the House of Lards" in a brief
address, which the general confusion which prevailed pre-
vented us hearing.

Lord MoNso;.: returned thanks.
Sir E. SUGDEN next rose, and made an attempt to ad-
dress the meeting, but was totally inaudiVe amidst the
uproar which prevailed.
Two or three gentlemen rose in different parts of the
room, addressing those in their immediate neighbourhood.
The confusion which ensued is indescribable. The Learned
Gentleman eventually resumed his seat.
The CnnamAN rose to urge the necessity for the com-
pany's paying attention to the sound of the trumpet, which
was the signal for them to listen to the speeches. But the
• remark was only audible to a select few who sat near the
Hon. Gentleman ; and the trumpet sounded, and was re-
echoed to by trumpets at the other end of the room, with-
out producing the desired effect upon the assembly.
A song from Mr. Hobbs was then called for, and order
was partially restored.
Sir E. SUGDEN again stood up, when the uproar was re-
sumed With almost unabated violence, in the intervals of
which a few sentences which he uttered were understood to

le following effect :—lre rose to propo'se the health_of Sir

Robert Peel and the Conservative Members of the House
of Commons. If the Conservative cause were to prosper,
it could only be under the banners of the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet. It was of the deepest importance, therefore, that
he and those who co-operated with him in Parliament
should receive support from without.--(Cheering and up-
roar.) Sir Robert Peel, when he last took .oiice, yield-
..

ing to the change of circumstances which time had
brought about, felt that as the Reform Bill had given
great power to the people of the country, the first Mi-
nister of the Crown ought to be in the Lower House, in
order to answer to the people for his acts. How was his
example followed by the Government which succeeded to
his? Viscount Melbourne, the present Prime Minister,
sat in the House of Lords, and-whether the people Were
pleased or-displeased with his -proceedings, they had no op-
portunity of expressing their sentiments, us he was not
amenable to any constituency. The Learned Gentleman
concluded by proposing " the health of Sir R. Peel, and
the excellent band of Statesmen who followed his lead in the
House of Commons."—(Cbeering for a considerable time.)
Eirl JERMYN returned thanks for a few minutes, but not
a word he said was heard.

Sir F. PoLLoci briefly, but almost inaudibly, proposed,
The health of the Chairman," which was drunk with all
the honours.
'rhe CHAUIRAN returned thanks.

Sir F. POLLOCK again rose, and as a brother elector en-
deavoured to engage the kind attention of the assembly.
He expressed his great gratification at the present demon-
stration of Conservative feeling on the part of the wealth,
the respectability, and the intelligence of the city of Lon-
don, the result of which must, he• predicted, prove trium-
phant.—(Uproar, and cries of " Stewards, do your duty.")
Conservatives had now everything to hope—nothing to fear
—(Renewed cheering, and chipping of plates, again and
finally-drowned the Honourable and Learned Gentleinau's
voice, and be sat down. We could not ascertain that he
proposed any toast.)

The'CitatnmAN then rose to propose a toast—" The
Chairman of last •ear, Henry Hoare, Esq."—(Musie and
cheers.)

The atteution-4 so it might be called—of the meeting
was here directed to the extrema end of the room, opposite
the Chairman, where a gentleman in white trousers, who
we were told was Mr. Hoare, was seen gesticulating from an
elevated position to a knot of spectators who congregated
in a semicircle around him. The Hon. Gentleman held
forth for a considerable space of time, and the cheering
which he elicited was unceasing and tremendous. At length,
however, he disappeared from the position be had taken
up, and the band testified their feelings in the march
from I Putitani, only occasional bars of which, however,
reached our end of the room. After several vain at-
tempts to silence this apparently gratuitous obligato,
The CHAIRMAN again rose, and with much good humour,
and exerting his voice to the utmost, was about to intro-
duce another toast—" Gentlemen, we are all commercial
men." here the band at the other end of the room again
broke out in their favourite Puritani march, louder than
before, to the astonishment of the Hon. Gentleman. An
extraordinary infliction of the brazen trumpet, combined
with Mr. Toole's most stentorian efforts, brought the in-
strumentalists to their senses, and. the Chairman succeeded
in giving his toast—" Mr. Lyall, and the commercial inte-
rests of the City."
Mr. LYALL returned thanks, at least so we judged from
appearance, for the gentleman who spoke, and all who saw
him, appeared perfectly satisfied.
Other toasts were then given, after which the company
broke up. Altogether we must say that we were never
present at so uproarious and disorderly a meeting, whether
in or out of doors ; and any description we could give of
the scenes which took place, would fall far short of the
simple reality. It should be observed that the collation
was a cold one, with the sole exception of the wines, which
were very warm ; and perhaps this circumstance, coupled
with the heat of the weather, might have occasioned the
" excitement" (to use a mild term) which was too evident
in the greater part of the assembly, and of which more
tangible and less welcome symptoms were manifested in
different parts of the room, than any we have hitherto or
need now particularize.
