The toast was drank with three times three, and great ap-
plause.
Mr. CANNING rose, and said that in returning thanks in the
name of Mr. Huskisson, for the manner in which the company
had had the goodnes4 to receive his health, he should do him an
injustice not to say, that it had been his earnest desire to be
present at the festivities of that day. But a Session of Parlia-
ment, protracted beyond all example in point of time, and liar-
rassing beyond all human strength in point of fatigue and dif-
ficulty, had so shortened Mr. H's. summer, land bad left him
so little time for the discharge of his official duties; that he (Mr.
Canning) could assure the company it was physically impossible
for Mr. H. to redeem the pledge that lie had given at an early
period of the Session, with a sincere desire of redeeming it.—
(Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN, after passing a. deserved eulogium upon. ,
the character of the departed States Man, proposed The im-
mortal
memory of William Pitt," which was drank with three
times three.
" The Duke of Wellington ;" three times three. Band,
See the conquering Hcro comes. Song, Parby Kelly, Mr.
Larkin.
"Ile immortal memory of Laid Nelson." Song, Death of
Nelson, Mr. Larkin:
Mr. HOLLTNSUEAD trusted that he should not be charged
with presumption, if he took the liberty to propose the health
of their worthy friend, who, with so much ability, filled the
chair on that occasion. A better friend, a more enterprising
merchant, or a man more warmly attached to the institutions
of his country, could not be found. He concluded by propos-
ing " the health of their worthy Chairman."
The toast was received with great applause, and drank with
three times three, and loud cheers.
Mr. GLADSTONE rose, and begged to be permitted to return
to the meeting his sincere and heart-felt thanks for the flatter-
ing manner in which they had drank his health: Living
,amongst them, as he had done for so many years he hoped
that they would not accuse him of presumption, when he ven-
tured to say, that his principles were identified with theirs.-a
(Applause.)—lle held it to be his duty, whenever an opportu-
nity presented itself; to promote the intere.sts of Liverpool to
the utmost of his humble power. The opportunities were few;
but he had ever been ready to seize them with avidity, and had,
as far as he was able, endeavoured to promote the interests of
those who had done him the honour to consult him.—(Ap-
plause.)—He felt that his interests were identified with those
of Liverpool • and he trusted that lie should never be found
wanting, under any circumstances or in any situation, in doing
what he could to promote its prosperity.—(Applause.)--With
these feelings, he would not detain the company longer, but
would, with their permission, beg leave to propose the nealth of
a Gentleman who was, unfortunately, absent from the meeting
by indisposition, but whose heart was with them. He was a
Gentleman whom they all respected, and who had long been
tried for his attachment to the Constitution and Government of
the country.—(Applause.)—He trusted that the company
would' soon see hint amongst them restored to health. They
could not be at a loss to perceive, that lie was about to propose .
the health of Mr. Bolton, and he proposed that it should be
drank with three times three.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drank with three times three accordingly, and
with the most marked applause.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, declared, that
the liberty of the press had not a warmer friend than himself,
nor had its licentiousness a more determined foe. In proposing
" The Liberty of the Press," he should beg to associate with it
the names of two gentlemen, whose services in the cause of
loyalty and good government demanded the thanks of the club
lie alluded to Mr. Gore and Mr. Kaye, and "the Liberty of the
Press without its Licentiousness."
The toast was drank accordingly.
Mr. WILLIAM GORE observed that so unexpected an honor
was more than either his brother or himself could have expect-:
ed ; and, in their united names, lie begged to return their sin,
cere thanks to the company for so flattering a mark of respect.
Mr. KAYE spoke to the following effect :—Gentlemen, called
upon, thus suddenly and unexpectedly to express my gratitude
for this flattering mark of your regard, I am placed in a situa-
tion so embarrassing as to render me incapable of adequately
expressing my feelings. To be noticed at such a time, under such
circumstances, and by so large and highly-respectable a company
as the one now assembled, calls for my most heartfelt acknow-
ledgments. I am not, however, so vain as to imagine that the as-
sociation of my name with the toast upon the card was intended
so much a compliment to myself as a recognition of principles
common to us all. Gentlemen, my earliest recollections are asso-
ciated with the most profound regard for the constituted autho-
rities of the country, loyalty to my King, and ardent attachment
to the Constitution as by law established. The sentiments then
impressed upon my mind were calculated and intended to give
an impulse and a character to my future life. I have never
ceased to be influenced by them ; and if, since I have had the
honour to be connected with the press, as the conductor of a pub-
lie journal, these principles haveheen more hilly brought into
operation—if any thing has been done by me to promote and
conserve the great principles of loyalty and reverence for the
Constitution in this town and neighbourhood—and if, at the
same time, the discharge of my public duty has been subser-
vient to the interests of this Association, it is to me truly gra-
tifying. 1 have, however, but discharged my duty. I have
performed it fearlessly and conscientiously ; but I do not claim
any the slightest merit to myself on that account. The great
political principles, of which you have on this occasion been
pleased to express your approbation, animate us all ; and it is a
most gratifying reflection, that they are so eloquently advocated
and successfully applied, on all occasions, by our Right Hon.
Representative. Gentlemen, it is unnecessary for me longer to
occupy your attention ; I shall, therefore, conclude by referring
you to my past conduct as the best and surest pledge of future
consistency.
" The Mayor of Liverpool ;" three times three.
The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the next toast, ob-
served, that it was a toast on which he had had the honour of
expressing his opinion in that room before. It was not his in-
tention, therefore, to enter again into any discussion respecting
the conduct of the Magistrates for Manchester, on the occasion
to which the toast alluded. He would only say, that the opi-
nion which he had formerly expressed concerning it remained
unchanged. He thought, that the country was much indebted
to them for their firm and fearless conduct on that trying occa-:
sion ; and it was a subject of satisfaction to him to know, that
the toast he was about to propose was recognised as a standing
one with that Society. He had now, therefore, the honour to
give—
" The Magistrates of Manchester and the Neighbourhood,
who so Successfully exerted themselves in thedischarge of their
dutY, for the preservation of the peace of this County." It was
drank with three tinies three.
" May the energy of the Loyal ever defeat the views of the
Factious."
"Miss Tobin, our Lady Patroness," three times three.
Song—Sweet Mary, Mr. Shaw;
Mr. J. A. CASE proposed the health of the Committee who
had furnished the entertainment. This toast was drank with
three times three.

Mr. ACXERS, in returning thanks, in the name of the Com-
mittee, disclaimed any share in the merit of forming the ar-
rangements which had given such general satisfaction. His
friend, Mr. Knapper, had, amongst others, been particularly
conspicuous for his activity ; anti he begged leave to propose
the health of that Gentleman.

It was drank with much applause.
Mr. KNAPPEIt briefly returned thanks for the manner in
which the company had been pleased to notice the humble ser-
vices which he had rendered on that occasion ; and trusted
that he should long have it in his power to perform similar
services.

The CHAIRMAN said, that he was about to propose the me-
mory of one who, in his lifetime, was not more conspicuous
for his zeal in the good cause, than for his unshaken attach-
ment to the institutions of his country. He was personally
known to many who were present ; and in that Club he had
many personal friends, who respected him whilst living, and
revere his memory now that he is no more. He prqposed that
they should drink to the memory of Thomas Rotte, Esq. in
solemn silence.

Mr. CANNING rose, and spoke as follows :—Gentlemen,
permit me to take leave of you for the night, with renewed
acknowledgments for the kindness with which you have re-
ceived me. These acknowledgments I cannot better express
than in one of the toasts which I find upon your paper,
embodying, as it does, the sentiments that I entertain to-
wards you, and towards the community of which you are a
part, and of which I have been now nearly ten years a faith-
ful, I hope, and lam sure a favoured, Representative. It
has been held, Gentlemen, by writers and speakers upon pub-
lic subjects, that however commerce may enrich a State, it
has drawbacks which more than balance its advantages, in
debasement of principle, and in the lowering of high-minded
feeling. If tins was ever true of any State, it is not true

PRICE SEVENIIENCt,

of England ; if it was ever true of any town, it is not true
of Liverpool. In proposing to you, therefore, your accustomed
toast, " The good Old Town of Liverpool and the Trade there-
of," I express, in homely language, of which, howevei, every
word has its value, your cultivation of " good" principles—
your attachment to the "old" institutions of England--and the
combination of those principles and those attachments with a
flourishing " trade," which, so far from debasing the commu-
nity which it enriches, has, with expanding wealth, brought
proportionate expansion of intellect; and, with increasing pros-
perity, has increased your deviation and attachment to the con-
stitution of your country, as, the source from which national
prosperity springs.—( Cheers.)
The toast was drank with thunders of applause.
Mr. Canning, Mr. Gladstone, and several other Gentlemen,
quitted the company at half-past ten o'clock. Mr. John Eccles,
the Vice-President, was then called to the Chair.
" May the Principles of William Pitt ever animate the Conn-
ells of Great Britain."

" The President and Members of our Sister Club, the Back-
bone,"three times three.

The health of Mr:iiolinshead was proposed and drank with
three times three, and great applause.
" May the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock, be so invi-
gorated by union, . that neither foreign no.r domestic blasts can
ever wither them."

' " Major Falkner and the Liverpool Light Horse."
Mr. W. MawnsnEY rose and said, I have waited thus long,
in the hope that some one of the corps might be present to ac-
knowledge the honour done to my flighty respected partner;
but, being disappointed, and his son having left the mom, I
cannot sit silent after his health has been drank by so respecta-
ble a Company, and with such marked applause, without mak-
ing an acknowledgment, and thanking yon most sincerely in
his name. I need scarcely add, that Major Faulkner
.partici-
pates with you, not only on the present, but on all occasions, in
loyalty to our King, attachment to the Constitution,_ and in
sincere and heartfelt good wishes for the health and happiness
of our highly distinguished Representative.
Song, Trumpet of Victory, Mr. Shaw.
" The 'Lancashire Witches." Glee, To ai! you Ladies,

A powerful band was stationed in the orchestra; and Mr.
W. Taylor charmed the company by his exquisite performaace
on the jew's-harp.
Conviviality and harmony reigned till a late hour; and the
company separated highly delighted with the intellectual en-
joyment as well as the festivities of the evening.

THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.

[From the York Courier.]

According to the determination of the CorpO-
' rate Body, already alluded to, a most sumptuous dinner was
proided, on Monday evening, for his Royal Highneis the
Duke of SUSSEX, for the Corporation, and for such other
Gentlemen as the Right Hon. the Loup Itlkrou might think
proper to invite.
The Members of the Corporation assembled at the Mansion
House, in their official owns, &c. soon after six, tq be ready
to receive his Royal Highness, who, accompanied by two
Gentlemen, drove up in his open carriage,' amidst the loud
cheering of the multitude. The Duke rode without his hat,
and most graciously bowed to the spectators este passed along.
'When he had alighted at the Mansion House he turned to the
crowd, and respectfully bowed to them, when they again loudly
cheered his Royal H ighness.
There were two large tables down the room, ;..vifh one at Hie
head, to join theM. 'The Lord Mayor prey tied, and on' his
right sat the Duke of Sussex and Mr. thaloner, whilst on his
left sat the Recorder and the Hon. Thomas Dundas. There
could not be far short of 150 persons present.
The health of the King having
_preyicaidly been dritrik,• the
following toasts succeeded:—" The Constitution."—(Ap..
plause.)—Music, " Hearts of Oak."—" The Dpke of York
and the Army."—Music, " The Duke of York's March."-:-
" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—Music, " Rule
Britannia."

The Lonn MAYOR now rose, and in a very neat and com-
plimentary address proposed the health of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Sussex.—(Loud and continued applause.),--The
toast was accordingly drunk with cheers, and his Royal High-
ness rose • and returned thanks. The Duke concluded his
speech by proposing the health of the Lord Mayor. His Lord-
ship returned thanks, and proposed, . ,
" The health of the other branches of the RoYar Family."—
Music, " God save the King.'
The Duke of SUSSEX rose, and said that, by permission of
the Lord Mayor, he should propose a toast. He, however,
would previously Make a few observations on the 'subject to
which that toast alluded. His Royal Highness then addressed
the company in a most animated and manly speech, and con-
eluded by proposing the following toast :
" The respectability of the Crown, the durability of the Con-
stitution, and the prosperity of the People."
This toast was received with loud acclamation, and was drunk
with cheers. It was then about nqUarter past eleven, and the
Duke retired amidst the loud cheering of the company.

SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE EDINBURGH
BANQUET.

The honourable service of attending on the Kiaro, with a
silver basin and ewer and a napkin, for his Majesty to dip his
hands, which was performed on Saturday by William Howson
Crawfurd, younger, of Braehead and Crawfhrdland, in place of
his mother, the proprietrix of Braehead, in the County of Mid
Lothian, being the tenure by which these lands are held, has
its origin in the following very interesting story; related of art
ancestor of the present family of Howison of Braehead :
" One of the Kings of Scotland, James 11. or 111., travelling
ineog. (as was frequently his custom), in the neighbourhood
of Cramond-L'idge, was attacked by a gang of Gipsies, then
very numerous in Scotland. The King long gallantly defend-
ed himself, but they at length succeeded in bringing him to the
ground, when a husbandman named Howison, and his sou,
employed in thrashing grain in a barn hard by, hearing the
noise of the scuffle, came out, and seeing one roan attacked by •
so many, gallantly sided with the weaker party, and dealt such
lusty blows with their flails among the Gipsies, as put them to
flight, and rescued the strangerfrom his periloussituation. They
afterwards conducted him to their humble dwelling, and, having
presented him with a basin of water and a napkin to remove the
blood and dirt from the bruises received in the contest, they
gave him such refreshment as their house afforded. Tradi-
tion adds, that when the stranger laid aside his cloak, the
farmer perceived by his apparel that he wa4 a person of some
distinction, and placed him accordingly at the head of his
board. This was at first declined, but the fanner persisted,
saying, " He was master there," and the stranger was obliged
to comply. Before going away, the stranger, after many thanks.
invited his deliverer to visit him in Edinburgh, and desired
him to inquire at the Castle for " ane James Stuart," who would
gratify the curiosity he had expressed of seeing that fortreas.
" Wow, man," observed the farmer, " I would like to see
the Castle;" considering this, perhaps, a sufficient remuneration
for the assistance he had rendered. At no distant period, the
farmer availed himself of the invitation, and, having asked for
his friend, as 'directed, was with due astonishment ushered into
an assembly of nobles and courtiers, among whom he recognized
his old friend "James Stuart." Ile again repeated his gratitude,
and at the same time informed him that the King was present.
whom he would soon find out by being the only person cover-
ed. " Then," said the bewildered farmer, "it maun be either
you or mc." After diverting himself at the farmer's simpli-
city, the now-disclosed Monarch desired the farmer to rang
a boon, such as he could bestow for his ,delieranee:—
The honest rustic modestly replied, that the summit of 44
earthly wishes was to become proprietor of the lands he occu-
pied as bondsman, which was cheerfully complied with by the
Monarch, and a crown-charter of the lands of Brae-bead was
immediately prepared, with the reddendo of holding a basin of
water and nap.kin for the King to wash, when required so to d..
in commemoration of the friendly office performed by the hui.-
bandman to his Sovereign; on rescuing him from the Oppsies."
We understand the story was told to the King by Sir Water
Scott, and that his Majesty was highly amused with it.—(Edin-
burgh Courant.)

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, AUG. 26.—We have received recent
letters from Smyrna, by the frigate the Jeanne
d'Arc, Captain M. de Lameillerie, who arrived a
few days since at Toulon. The following is an
-extract :—" It is unfortunately too certain that
the Greeks, in taking possession of Athens, have
violated -the capitulation by virtue of which the
lies of the garrison were to he saved. • On this
occasion the flag of the king of France was the
-signal of safety for the unfortunate men who
esvaped the carnage. The French vessels l'Active
and l'Estafette arrived yesterday in this port,
having on board 300 individuals (many of them
women and children,) the remnant of this unfor-
turrate garrison of Athens. Upwards of 600 men
-were put to the sword by the Greeks on the 10th
of this month, in spite of the promise they had
made to give a safeguard to the Mnssulmen. This
town was a prey to massacre for three days, when
M. Ilargons, commanding the Estafette, arrived
at Athens. M. de Reverseau, who commanded
the Active, arrived shortly after ; these two
conimanders had need of much firmness and
vuergy to rescue the victims from an infuriated
populace. They were well seconded by the
• officers and .crews, who went up to the gates of
. the town to cover the operation."
'M. Fauvel, Consul of France, has proceeded
on board the Active. The unfortunate men who
have been rescued, have been sent to the Pacha
of Smyrna.
According to the reports brought by the Esta-
fette and the Active, the Turkish army bad
beaten the Greeks at 'Thermopylae, taken pos-
session of Thebes, and approached Athens. The
intelligence of this check seems to have been
made a pretext by the Greeks to massacre the
Turkish garrison, which they had promised to
spare.—(La Quotidienne.)
An Evening Paper aonounces that the Marquis
de Casa-Irujo, Spanish Minister at this Court,
- has been recalled, and replaced by the Duke'de
San Lorenzo, nephew of the Duke del Parque.
This morning a courier from the Ministry of
Foreign affairs set off for Italy.--(Constitutionnel.)
On the 21st August, in the Court of Correc-
tioual Police at Nantes, a young man, a clerk in
. a considerable mercantile house, was tried for
.having called out at the theatre " Down with
the Mouchards" (police spies), and of having in-
sulted General Despinois (who has been brought
•into notice in the trials pending at Paris), by
writing on the sand the word Espionides. The
Counsel for the prisoner applied himself chiefly
to this last fact, and asserted that this word
which General Despinois had taken as an insult,
-was not a correct anagram of the General's name,
and as it was a word void of meaning, and of no
language, the General had no right to interpret it
as an offence. The Counsel, in illustrating this
point, cited some happy anagrams, which had
been-ladethe means of conveying satire or cen-
sure, ex-. gr.-that on Father Proust, par sot (ab-
01nte fool) ; and that on Frere Jacques, Clement,
, a' &I:0 (it is•'-hell - that - has
-Created-mo),but he was astonished that: the: pub.
'l.i.prOsectitor'should have tried to sheW that the
rst syllahle of the word written by the de-
fendant (erpioni spy) were applicable to a per
-son bolding the-high-station of Gen. Despinois
The, young,,,irnan was condemned to a month's
'imprisonment and a line 42.00 francs.
• (Despinois is a Prefect- and has been very busy in finding or
aking plots. An artiefe, :it appears, had been published in
'the Altiroir, a periodical Work, giving an account of him under
tho title of Espinnitlcs--Lit word which, from its near resem-
Vrce to an anagram of his name and its indication of his em-
ialAyment, was very offensive. to the General.)—(//id.)
The Gazette de Lyon-. has the following arti-
--cle:---" In our paper of the 20th inst. we an-
- nounced, on the authority of several persons, that
a camp was about to be formed at Lyons. This
opinion was derived from the circumstance that
•an official survey was about to be made of all
buildings, both within the city and around it, fit
for barracks. It appears, however, from more
-recent information, that no camp will be formed,
.but the garrison will be augmented by one or
two regiments."—(Journal de Paris.)

COURT OF ASSIZE AT PARIS.
The examination of witnesses resumed on the 26th August.
The Scrjeant-Major, Choulet, declared, that he saw Gou-
,piiion on the 17th of March, at the inn of the Soleil d'Or, at
Rochelle. He perceived that this Subaltern was weeping, and
he interrogated him as to the cause of his sadness. Goupillon
at first hesitated to answer his question, but afterwards went ,
. out with him into the court, and said, lam a ruined man. I
am a Carbonaro. It is a Society to which all the Subalterns of
• the regiment belong. Witness then questioned him as to the
object of the conspiracy, and Goupillon replied that it was in-
tensed to raise the tri-coloured flag.
Goupillon admitted' that he had told Choulet that there was
. a Society.of Carbonari in the regiment, but denied that he had
said any thing about a conspiracy.
11. de Ila.oE—l see, with pain, the situation in which Gou-
:pilion seeks to place himself. L can only attribute it to his in-
Arrq?urse in prison with the other accused.
Goupillon—The witness, since his diScovery, has been made
'S(ljeant-11/alor of Grenadiers, and- he has been proposed for
Officer ; why has this been done?
The PREGIDENT—He has been promoted in consequence
of the fidelity he has shewn, and the good advice which he gave

to you.
. belcitip, Lieutenant of the 45th regiment, declared that a short
t:tne after the affair of Geri. Berton, two companies of light in-
. fantry were sent to Parmenay and to Thouars, to pursue the
factious. A few days after he received a letter from the Com-
manding Officer, in which he made mention of Chevaliers of Li-
. berty, otherwise robbers, and named five Subalterns of the re-
giment who belonged to them. The witness spoke of this let-
ter to Goupillon, who said, " There are many more of them,"
and some days after he•confessed that he belonged to the Che-
valiers of Liberty, and that their object was to overturn the GO.
yet:mint, raise the tri-coloured flag, and join General Berton.
He gave a list of all the conspirators, and added, that it was
their intention to make sure of the Colonel and two Captains of
the battalion, and conduct them to the tower. The witness
often observed Goupillon weeping at Hyvert's, and at other
pla'nes.
Goupillon—l desire to know whether the witness did not ask
me who were the chiefs of the conspiracy, and whether he did
• not himself name M. Benjamin Constant and M. Foy ? Did
.he not further say, that M. Lai-ate furnished the funds, and
That they were ail implicated in the affair of Colmar ?
M. Leloup—No, Isaid not a word of all this.
The,Lieut. Marteau entered into some details as to what
passed at ILachelle at the moment of Pomier's arrest, when he
• was disguised as a peasant.
Choulet was called back, and declared that Goupillon came to
his haute, and shewed him a card of Carbonari ; it was an eight
.:of hearts upon which a poignard was drawn.
Goupillon maintained that he never had such a-card.
Afterpme other witnesses, whose testimony was not ma-
, tens!, hid been examined, the Court adjourned to the follow-
dog day. r.;
