with the glorious victory on the field of Waterloo,"'

was Eryr, (the Eagle), though much praise was due also to those
of Cynfelyn, (Mr. T. Jones, 13arddcloff), and Hanerythl,, (Mr.

LONEON TAVERN, BISEOVSGATE-STREET.—Yesterday
afternoon a numerous and highly respectable company of Gen-
tlemen, the friends of Mews. BLEADEN and Co., dined to-
gether at this tavern. Mr. Alderman flnxnATt took the
Chair, in consequence of Mr. Mclennan Thompson being pre-
vented by indisposition from fulfilling. his promise of attending
and presiding at the entertainment. 'ln the course of the even-
ing many national toasts were given, and drank -with enthu-
siasm. The health of several Gentlemen, who either had held,
or *ere shortly expected to hold, high civic offices, were also
proposed and received with applause. " t:iuccess to Mr. Blea-
den and his establishment" was given by Mr. Alderman Hey-
gate, from the Chair, who, in proposing it, informed the com-
pany that but for the spirited conduct of that Gentleman and
his partners, the London Tavern: in which so many patriotic
and benevolent meetings had been held, and which on that ac-•
count ought always to be dear to the citizens of London, would
sometime ago have been discontinued. He trusted that the pub-
lic had since remunerated those Gentlemen for the courage and
spirit which they had shown in undertaking so large a concern;
at any rate the proprietors of it must be animated to renew their
exertions to deserve public favour by the sight of 321 such
friends as they then saw around them. Mr. Bleaden made a
very appropriate reply of thanks on behalf of himself and. his
partners, which was received throUghout with great cheering.
Several songs and glees were sung in the course of the evening.
The dinner, wines, and dessert, were all of the best quality.
