COLONIAL DINNER.

Yesterday the friends of the British colonial empire entertained Slr
Francis Bond Head, at dinner in the Fremasons' Tavern, Great Queen.
street. Covers were laid for 230, amongst whom we recognized many
of the most affluent and influential merchants in the city. Mr. G. R.
Robinson officiated as chairman, supported on the right by Sir F. B.
Head, Sir G. Head, Sir J. Scott I.iliic, Messrs. A. Chapman, M.P.; J.
Irving, M.P.: G. Palmer, M.P.; and on the left by A. 11. Lockhart,
M.P ; Chief Justice Boulton (Newfoundland), Judge Halliburton (Nova
Scotia), Messrs. Hughes Hughes, Gould, Russell Ellice, Routh, J. L.
Anderdon, &c. •

The cloth having been removed, thernA►RMA N proposed a bumper to
" The health and happiness of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. Nay her
reign be long and prosperous." (Tit rec times three.)
The next toast was, " The health of the Queen Dowager, and the
rest of the Royal Family." (Three times three.)
" The Army and Navy" followed, and was drunk with the usual
honours.

The next toast was " The health of her Majesty's Ministers."

The CutoamAN next proposed the health of Si; Francis Bond Head
in a neat, effective, and complimentary speech.—(The toast was drunk
with three.times-three and one cheer more.)
Sir F. HEAD knew they would understand and sympathize with the
feelings which now struggled within his bosom on tinding himself once
more in his soother country—(Cheers)—after being exposed to no
little trouble abroad, surrounded as he was by those who of all others
knew best how to appreciate the difficulties of his position, as well as
the assistance he had received from the inhabitants of the North Am°.
rican colonies. He regretted that the proceedings adopted in order to
suppress the Canadian disturbances appeared to involve this
country in some degree of difficulty. with reference to the
United States. He knew how deeply they all felt the import.
ance of preserving amicable relations with America, and how
anxious they all were that no improper conduct on the part of the United
States should in any way induce them unnecessarily to come into cm,
diet with that power.—(Hear.) It was therefore with the utmost sails.
faction he had to state that between the inhabitants of the Canadas and
the United States feelings of natural alliance subsisted as between
people living under the same climate, descendants of the same ancestors,
and having the same difficulties to contend with. There was no dis.
position on the part of Upper Canada in any way to interfere with the
Government of the United States; indeed, the Assembly of the Upper
Province had proposed that the inhabitants of the United. States should
be received in Upper Canada as if they were British subjects. The
Gallant Officer, after some further observations, again thanked them for
the kind manner in which they had drank his health.
The company did not separate till near midnight.

An afflicting event occurred on Thursday evening
week, about half-past six o'clock, at lEfill Bottom, Waterhead Mill,
Oldham. Three little girls were at play ii9a lane, at the foot of a rugged
bank of bare soil, when a large mass of sand and gravel suddenly fell,
and overwhelmed them to the depth of a yard. A young man, passing at
the moment, endeavoured to rescue one of the sufferers, but was obliged.
to desist from a regard to his own sa:ety. The bodies were extricated.
as speedily as possible, and found to be those of Mary Faulder, aged
five, Amy Faulder, aged three (both children of Henry Faulder, tailor),
and Sarah Ann Slater, aged four (daughter of Mr. James Slater, publi-
can), all residing a few yards from the spot where the accident happened.
The bank of earth was not previously observed to be in a dangerou
state,—Mattchester Guardian.
