CATHOLIC DINNER.

Yesterday a grand dinner was liven to the Ca-
tl►olic Dele,,ates,- at tl►e Frecn►it,:on's Tavern, at
which ►►c.trly the whole body of the Opposition
were present.
The U►►ke of BEDFORD was in the Chair. He
cv,as supported by their Royal Highnesses the
Mikes of KENT SUSSEX..

The cloth removed, and the usual toasts having
been given; the Noble Chairman rose to propose
a toast which he was sure would be drank with
pleasure. After the detest cif the late Bill, it had
been thought right to .pay some mark of public
respect to the Catholic Delegates from Ireland, to
express regret for their recent failure, but at the
same time to avow a confident hope of ultimate
success. On this occasion it was proposed to call
to the chair, that venerable patriot whose repeated
efforts, indefatigable exettion and comntanding
eloquence bad so
_greatly served the cullt“.! (Mr.
Grattan). :That Gentleman, however, had de-
clined taking the Chair, and the humble individual
who then .addressed theta had been called upon ;
and receiving such an application as he had re-
ceived, and from such a quarter, he could- not
hesitate to obey the calf.-----He stated himself to
he strongily in favour of the cause, pronounced
an eloywnt eulogitun on the Irish character,
conjured the Catholics to be temperate, and
conclyded by biviilg " the health of the Irish De-
legates:"
This toast was drank with great applause, and
the Earl of Fingal r returned thanks..
" The cause of civil and religious liberty all
over the world." •
Bishop of Noarvictf, and those Members
of the Church of &Omni, who have proved them-
selves Friends to Religious Liberty;" and " The
liberal principles of the Members of the Scotch
Church, as evinced in their Petition to Parlia-
ment," were the next toasts.
The irealths of The Dukes of KENT and SUSSEX
were severally drank.
The Deke of KENT returned thanks in an ani-.
mated snecch, and the-Duke of Sussex spoke" at
considerable length. In the course of his speech,
his Royal flightless took occasion to allude to a
proposition which had been made for the establish-
ment of Orange. Societies hi this country. He
hoped such societies would not be formed, as; in
his opinion, such. were the must daraerous and
the most trettsonable societies that could exist.. lie
had no disposition to say any thing. of an inflam-
matory nature ; but soc:eties boons Taogethrr by
an oath of secrecy on political points, imativing
conditional allegiance, were in his estimathin un-
constitutional. He wished to say no more on the
subject there., He hoped persons di:Tosed to main-
tain such principles would not be.tound ; but if
such were proved to exist, it might be his duty to
bold them up to examination in another place,
and -hehoped to folio that op by making tit them
an example.
The health of the Duke of BEDFORD %vas next
drank.— He briefly returned thanks.
" Prosperity to Ireland!' was next given, and
after the Noble ,Chairinati said he would give
(without one word, as there was' no occasion to
say any thing on the subject)." '1 be health of Mr.
Grattan."
Mt. GnATTAm, returned thanks—complimented
the- illutorimts persop.ages prvaent.,-who, he, said,
were rendered more illustrious by their conduct
and 'expressed a confident hope that the Catholics
would be ultimately successful. - •
The healths of Lord Donough more, Earl Grey,
Lord Greaville, Lord Holland, Earl Fit zwilliam,
Lord Hardwicke, Mr. Ponsoaby, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, antla,Mr. Whitbread, were severally
drank with great applause, Lord Donotightnore
and Lord Grenville %rue absent. Earl Grey, Lord
Holland, Earl Fitzwill:ain, Lord Ilardwicke, Mr.
Ponsonbv, the. Marytis'of Lansdowne, and Mr.
Whitbread, returned thanks at Somelength. In their
speechesthe right of the Catholics to a participatiOn
in the bleSsings of the Constitution, were asserted,
and the present system condemned as a system of
exclusion, equally impolitic and_ iqust. Mr.
Whitbread, towards the close of his speech, no-
ticed the great advances the cause had made,
which he observed were so great that it might be
said they only-wanted the weight of a feather to
turn the balance in their- favour for if that fea-
ther (pointing to the representation of the plunie of
feathers worn by the Prince qf Wales, uhielt sur-
mounted the organ in the great room), if that feather
were thrown in, as they bad' reason to expect it
would be, their cause must prevail. (Loud Ap-
plums). 'He perceived they felt with him, that if
that trifle were given on their •side, their scale
' would predominate, and the enemies of the Ca-
tholics would k:ck the beam.

other Members of the House of COmmons, who
had proved themselves friends to the Catholic.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUK,' OF LORDS,

TIIU4SDAY , JUNE 10.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR being detained at the
Court at Carlton House, did not come down to.
the House till nearly five o'clock.
Their Lordships then procee.led to forward. the
Bills on the table, chiefly of a local or private na-
ture, in their respective stages. Among
the South London Water-works, and the Man -
chester and Salford Jurisdiction Bills, were read a
third time and passed.
_ _

Viscount Sumotrrn, with reference to the latter
Bill, took an opportunity, by command of the
Prince Regent, to communicate his Royal High-
ness's concurrence, on the part of his Majesty,
to the measure, as tar as the Royal interests were
concerned.

The Noble SECRETARY Of STATE moved the se-
cond reading of the Militia Enlistment Bill, which
accordingly took pines.

The Elia of DARNLEY notified his intention to
submit a motion to-morrow, rebpecting a point
(we believe the Ventilation of the House), on
which he bad, not long since, thrown oat some
observations : but upon which he did not seer►
to, feel it necessary to have their Lordships sum-
moned.

Their Lordships waited some time, apparently
in the expectation of some communication front
the Commons ;" but no proceeding of the kind
took plate.—Adjourned. •
