REFORM DINNER IN KENT.

The triumph of Reform in the county of Kent
was celebrated at Rochester on Wednesday last,
when a public dinner was given to Mr. Hodges and
Mr. Rider, the Members for the county.
The only difficulty that opposed itself to the cele-
bration of this triumph was that of finding a place
large enough to contain as many Reformers as would
he anxious to be present on such an occasion, but
that difficulty was speedily got over by Mr. Baker,
of Rochester, who presided at the dinner, and who
volunteered the use of his spacious workshops as a
dining room. This building, under the tasteful ma-
nagement of the stewards, was made to assume a
very gay and picturesque appearance. It was lined
throughout with naval flags, and hung with fes-
toons, flowers, and laurel arid other evergreens.
Four large chandeliers were suspended from
the roof, and each of the tables was lighted with
gas which had been laid on for the occasion. A
number of mirrors judiciously placed in various
parts of the room reflected the guests of the dif-
ferent tables to each other. Across the centre of
the room there was erected a long gallery for spec-
tators, who were all of the fair sex, and who, it is
hardly necessary to observe, were the chief and the
most attractive ornaments of a scene than which it is
impossible to conceive any more animating and
agreeable. As much taste and labour had been be-
stowed upon the approaches to the room as on the
room itself. The staircases were wreathed with
evergreens, and the grand approach to the dinner
room was through a long alcove, formed of shrubs
and flowers, which, in the evening was tastefully
illuminated with variegated lamps, and was suffi-
ciently extensive to form a promenade for the fair
visit ers.

The band of the Royal Marines was stationed
outside, and there was a plentiful supply of singers,
as well professional as amateurs, who contributed
largely to the conviviality of the evenieg.
The guests who sat down to dinner amounted to
500 in number; and there would have been many
more, if the stewards had not found it necessary to
limit the issue of tickets to that number. On the
day before the dinner they publiShed a handbill,
stating that no more tickets would be issued ; and
after the appearance of this handbill, a guinea was
repeatedly offered and refused for a ticket, of which
the original cost had been only 4s. 6d.
Among the more distinguished guests, we noticed
Lord Sondes, Lord Teyriham, the Hon. J. BI;gh,
R. Bernal, Esq. M.P., J. Mills, Esq. M.P., Capt.
Stanhope, M.P., Sir J. M. Tylden, G. N. Coiling.
wood, Esq., James Barnett, Esq., James Jacobson,
Esq., Major Wayth, C. Darrell, Esq., and the Hon.
Captain Grey, son of the Earl of Stamford and
Warrington.
After the eatables had been despatched,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the health of our
good and gracious King, and expressed his confi-
dence that the company would do honour to them-
selves by drinking it with four times four hearty and
substantial cheers.—(Applause.)

•
The toast was then formally given from the chair,
and drank enthusiastically, with four times four
cheers. Song—" God save the King."
" The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
was then given with three times three.

The CIrIAIRMAN said, that he had next to propose
to them to drink the " Navy of England," to which
he was sure they would do credit by three cheers.
The toast was drank with enthusiasm.

Captain MARSHALL, R.N. returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of
the Army," to which he would beg to add " The
health of Lord Hill."—(Cheers.)
The toast was drank enthusiastically, and there
being a loud call for Sir John Tylden, late a Cole-
tte( in the army, to return thanks,
Sir JOHN rose, amid great and universal cheer-
ing, to address the meeting. He felt that the duty
which he was then performing ought of right to
have belonged to his Hon. Friend near him (Cap-
tain Grey of the 94th Foot); but as they had
thought fit to call him forward, he would only say
that then, and indeed at all times, his best efforts
were at their service.—(Cheers.) He was gratified
and delighted in being called upon to speak to such
a toast in an assembly where so many bosoms beat
responsive to his own, and before sisch a galaxy of
beauty as that which he then had the pleasure of
seeing before him.—(Cheers.) Hitherto the gal-
lery had been devoted to the gods; their friends
had, however, built a gallery and devoted it to the
goddesses.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had
heard of Charles Il.'s gallery of beauties; but with
such bright eyes as those which were then shining
on them, what gallery could ever equal that of Wil-
liam IV. ?--(Laughter.) Though he was no longer
in the army, he still felt all the gallantry and enthu-
siasm of a soldier ; and, with such a gallery of
.beauty, what man would not stake his hopes of ex-
istence to obtain their smiles and approbation ?
(Cheers.) So stimulated, and so rewarded, he
believed that so long as we remained united in heart
and hand, the devil himself could not conquer us.
The CHAIRMAN had next to propose to them the
health of Mr. Hodges—(Cheers)—one of their
worthy representatives.—(Cheers.) As a public
man, Mr. Hodges had been tried, and had not been
found wanting.—(Cheers.) He had given his sup-
port to that great Bill of which they would hear
more to-day, and which now, beyond contradiction,
would be carried by the united voice of the people
of England.—(Cheers.)
No words can do justice to the enthusiasm with
which this toast was received by the meeting.
Mr. HODGES rose to return thanks. Although his
friend, Sir John Tylden, had expressed himself, as
he always did, most admirably upon this question,
when he told them that the victory was already won,
he (Mr. Hodges) must express to them his belief,
that the victory, though it would be won, was not.
yet accomplished. If not greatly misinformed, there
would be many a struggle yet to be made by the
people : but with the spirit which was now abroad,
he had no doubt that the victory would be with the
people.—(Cheers.) Could he ever forget the spec.
tacle which lie had witnessed on the II th of May
on Penenden-heath,—a spectacle absolutely without
precedent in their county,—for there was no oppo-
sition on that day either to his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Rider) or himself ? And yet what had taken place
there ? A voluntary assemblage of thousands of
freeholders, brought to the ground not at the ex-
pense of the candidates' pockets, but at their own ;
for he was sure that it would be gratifying to them
to hear that the return of his Hon. Colleague and
himself had been made without costing either of
them a single shilling.—(Cheers.) No; the work
this time had been all their own. All that he had
to regret was, that their choice had not fallen on a
more effective man than himself.—(Cheers, and
cries of " It could not.") He had no recommen-
dation to them, except this—that from the first tno-
ment in which the Reform Bill was introduced
into the last Parliament, he had concurred with
many good and wise men in supporting it
through all its stages.—(Cheers.) That Bill, he
would frankly admit to them, was not the Bill
which he should have drawn up—it was not, lie be-
lieved, the Bill which they themselves would have
drawn up—it was not all that the people wished ;
still, as it acknowledged principles which they, in
tt
common with the rest of the people of England, ac-
knowledged and approved, they had determined, and
m wiselyatldB.

that

aie was
prescribed to him,
leading principles of
the Bill triumphantly through the House of Corn-
mons.—(Cheers.) It was unnecessary to take up
their time in discussing the. details of the Bill, but
he would beg leave to rem!nd. them, that the effects
of it could nor be very rapid in their operation : for,
after seventy long years of misrule, it would be un-
reasonable to suppo,e that in one or two, or even
in five years, a full and complete remedy could be
made of all the evils which that long-continued
misrule had generated.--(Cheers.) It was a great

point to hate made a beginning in the road which
must lead ultimately to the full redress of all their
grievances. But let them not deceive themselves.
Let them not look forward to the Reform Bill as an
instantaneous panacea for the evils of the system.
The first effect which it would produce would be a
check to that tendency to inequality which was per-
petually springing up among us. He admitted
that inequality was to a certain extent necessary,
and even beneficial to society ; but when it was un-
controlled, it generated tyranny on the one hand,
and servility on the other,—two principles detri-
mental both to the rich and to the poor, but to one
of them the greatest calamity that could befall them
00 earth. That would be one effect of the Reform
13111. There would also be others, but they would
be slow in their operation ; and all that the people
had now to ;wend to was, not to be w.reasonable in
their expectations or in their demands.
The CIIAIRAMAN had now to propose to them
the health of Mr. Rider—(Cheer.)—a gen-leman
of that county, long known to them all, and upon
whom they could entirely depend as a supporter of
the great measure of Reform.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Rider's health was drank with three times
three.

Mr. RIDER. said, that after thanking them for the
very hospitable reception they h:.►d given him, and
f►r the very flattering manner in which they had
been pleased to drink his health, he begged to con-
gratulate them not only upon the success they had
achieved, and of which that meeting was an evidence,
but also upon their having deserved that success by
the zeal, the energy, and the wisdom which they
had displayed.—(Cheers.) History recorded few
instances of a people determined to be free not suc-
cceding in their struggle for liberty ; but at the same
time history recorded no instance in which liberty
had been obtained without exertion. Liberty was
like a beautiful woman—none but the brave and
the good deserved either—(Cheers)—and a faint
heart never won either.--(Cheers.) Song, " Men
of Kent."

Mr. HODGES said, that a most agreeable duty had
been assigned him by the gentlemen who formed
the committee that had conducted the arrangements
of this great entertainment. The duty was to pro-
pose to them the health cf their excellent and
worthy Chairman, Mr. Baker.—(Cheers.) He
would call upon them without more words, to drink
the health of Mr. Baker, with three times three.—
(Drank upstanding, in a most enthusiastic manner,
with three cheers and " one cheer more.")
Mr. BAKER returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN they: proposed as a toast, " The
people of the United Kingdom, and may they ever
be fairly, freely, fully, and faithfully represented in
Parliament."--(Drank with three times three.)
The CnAmmAN then proposed, in a neat and ap-
prcpriate speech, " Earl Grey an•i his Majesty's
Ministers."—(Drank with great enthusiasm.)
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the
Earl of Darnley, who, he regretted to say, was con-
fined to his house by indisposition, which he had
hoped that Noble Lord would never have been at-
tacked with till a much later period of life, if at
all. His Lordship was suffering under a severe at-
tack of gout. After a neat eulogium upon Lord
Darnley, from the Chairman, the toast was drank
with three times three.
The Hon. Mr. J. BLIGH returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN had next to propose to them the
health of one of the Noblemen who had that day
honoured them with his company,—he meant Lord
Teynham. They were all acquainted with Lord
Tevnham, and they knew that be had been for some
time past engaged in the House of Lords in advo-
cating a question which, of all important and inte-
resting questions, required most advocating in that
assembly—he meant the;poor laws.—(Drank with
three times three.)
Lord TEYNHAM, in rising to return thanks, con-
gratulated the meeting on the success of a cause the
most splendid that the people of England had ever
advocated.—(Cheers.) As a member of the House
of Peers, he had himself a great duty to perform.
The whole world could not bribe him to vote aga'nst
the conviction which he entertained of the justice
and necessity of this Bill.—(Cheers.) lie was
happy to say that the three nearest relations he had,
namely, the Duke of Norfolk, the first Duke of
England; the Earl of Shrewsbury, the first Earl of
England ; and his first cousin, Lord Dacre, nearly
the first Baron of Englandwere enthusiastic ad✓o-
cates of Reform ; and he thought that when the
Reform Bill should come into the House of Lords,
as come there it'undoubtedly would—(Cheers)—it
would be seen that it would be supported by all the
oldest Peers, and would be resisted only by the
modern Nobility, who were reaping emoluments
fron► the system which it was intended to upset.—
(Cheers.) An ancient Peer of England as he was,
he had no hesitation in saying that he had no
fears that the people would ever touch his privi-
leges.—(Cheers.) It was the oligarchy that were
his enemies ; it was of them, and not of the people,
that he was afraid.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN was heartily gratified in now
having t, propose to them the health of another
Noble Lord present—he meant " Lord Sondes."
The toast was drank with great applause.
Lord SONDES returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN--I give you those patriotic Peers
and others, whose sacrifice in the cause of Reform
deserve the eternal gratitude of their country. To
this toast I shall prefix " The health of the Duke
of Norfolk and the Marquis of Cleveland."
Lord TEYNHAM, in returning thanks for his ab•
sent relative, the Duke of Norfolk, said that he had
heard his Grace declare, that if his whole property
had consisted of rotten boroughs, he would gladly
sacrifice it all to the interests of the country. His
Grace's example had been followed by the Duke of
Devonshire and other Noble Lords, and he had no
doubt that when the Bill went into the House of
Peers, a large proportion of the Peerage would be
found in the interests of the country.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Honda proposed " The honest freemen of
England who supported the cause of Reform."

The CHAIRM.AN had now to propose one of the
greatest privileges which Englishmen possessed, and
which he hoped they would never consent to sur-
render—" The Liberty of the Press."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the
Members for Rochester.—(Three times three.)
Mr. BERNAL told the company that they had
been pleased to confer upon him an hononr which
he duly estimated. When he had addressed the
people of England in the House of Commons, he
had never attempted to say that the Reform Bill,
which must now be carried—(Cheers)—would
operate as a general and immediate panacea of all
our national evils. He would not deceive them;
he would not pretend to say that the (portent loaf
would be sold for 4d., or that the price of meat
would be reduced to 3d, a pound, or that the
golden age would return upon the carrying of the
Bill. He would tell them to look to the future, and
to recollect that thay were working for posterity—
(Cheers)—and that though some of them might not
live to enjoy the blessings that must ultimately re-
sult from the Reform Bill, there were many now
present who would live to enjoy them.—(Cheers.)
When he saw such men as his friends near him re-
turned to Parliament by the county of Kent, he
must tell the freeholders that they• had done well.—
(Cheers.) Kent would not lose the praise in 1831
which it had acquired in. 1066 by the struggle it
had made to retain its liberty. Then, as now, the
men of Kent stood pre-eminent in honesty, disin-
terestedness, and patriotism.--(Cheers.) Having
said thus much in praise of the men of Kent, he
could not, whilst he had the honour of looking at
that galaxy of beauty then shining from the gal-
lery, refrain from wishing to have recurrence to the
Koran of Mahomet, and that the laws of England,
so far as they forbade a man to have more than one
wife, were altered.—(Hear and laughter.)
Mr. MILLS returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed, in an appropriate
41weel's " The health of the Members for Maid-
,tolly."— (Drank with three times three.)
Mr. JAMEs BARNETT returned thank}.

the two Members fot the town of Dover.r...(Tblee
times three.)
Mr. HENRY PRENTIS read a letter from Mr. P.

Thomson, in which that gentleman expressed his
satisfaction at the triumph of Reform in Kent, but
regretted that other engagements would prevent his
being present at this dinner.
Captain STANHOPE (the other Member for Dover)
in returning thanks, observed that he looked upon
the Reform Bill as virtually passed, and that it would
be their own fault if they were not for the future
fully, freely, and fairly represented in Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The absent
Members of the County, who were in favour of Re-
form," which was drank with three times three, as
also the next toast, " The Hon. Mr. Bligh and the
noble house of Darnley" fur which Mr. Bligh re-
turned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of Mr.
Ward, and of Sir J. Tylden, the proposer and
seconder of Mr. Rider.—(Great cheers.)
Sir JOHN TYLDEN was sorry that a man of such
years, and such incorruptible political integrity, was
not here to return those thanks in person, which he
(Sir John Tyiden) was now proud to return for
him. "My heart is full," said Sir John, " and my
head is full, and the room is full too, thank God for
it, of the honestest men I ever saw in my life."—
(Cheers and laughter.) All of you know that Mr.
Hodges is the man of your hearts, but tritely of you
may know Mr. Rider. But I ask you, is there any
man who has fought your battle so well as Mr.
Rider has done for these many months past ? God
help me, gentlemen, when we are to return men of
honesty to Parliament, I know not how we could get
an honester man than Mr. Rider. In returning Mr.
Rider, you have returned yourselves combined into
one essence.—(Cheers and laughter.) We have
done, gentlemen, as the bees do—we have sent
a good and excellent essence into the world.
We arc the bees that work—we have thrown
from our hives the drones, and though we have
not returned a queen bee, we have returned
a walking bee, who will obey our orders.—(Cheers.)
I arrogate to myself the credit of having freed the
county from the thraldom into which it was fast de-
scending.—(Cheers.) I was the spark which set
this county into n flame, which, rising first into
notice in Dover, has since penetrated into every
county in the empire from the Land's-end to Johnny
Groat's house.—(Cheers.) And, so help me God,
if 1 had one foot in the grave, I would do it over
again, if it were to do.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen,
I was brought up in a school where I was taught to
know myself, and so to feel for the sufferings of
• others. I was taught to know how they were beaten
down and trampled on by a base and paltry faction.
I thought that by that faction my country was cursed.
--(Cheers.) I thought that the proud situation
which for some years we occupied was owing, not
to the manner in which our statesmen conducted
the business of the empire, but to the indomitable
courage of Englishmen.—(Cheers.) It was the de-
termination of Englishmen to proceed to the end
with any system, however wrong, which we had
once commenced, that carried us on through the last
war; but we all know now that we were the
set of fools that God ever made, to vote for and go
on with that war which William Pitt so madly com-
menced. (Here a voice called out " Amen." Great
laughter.) I say it, and proclaim it,—we were a
set of fools.—(Cheers.) There is not one of us who
will not feel it, if we were to live on to the end of the
next century. But, Gentlemen, it was all your own
fault. You have nobody to blame for it but your-
selves. If you and I, and all of us, had done our
duty twenty years ago, we should never had a
thousand millions of debt now on our shoulders.
Let us, however, recollect our past follies with re-
gret and abhorrence. Let us thank God that we
are last come to our senses, that the schoolmaster is
now abroad among us, and that we have the power
to get rid of these detestable boroughmongers. I
say, give but time for the Reform Bill to get into
operation, and you will see it working almost miracles.
Then, when you have the power of exercising your
suffrages, give them only in support of honest Ad-
ministrations—whether they are Whigs or Tories,
to me it cares not a ----.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Sir John Tylden then sat down amid long-continued
cheering.
Lord SONDES begged to return thanks for the
very handsome manner in which they had drank his
brother's health, and proposed to them as a toast—
" The Independent Freeholders of the county of
Kent"—(Drank with three times three.)
Sir JOHN TYLDEN said he supposed that they
would all agree with him in thinking that running
down a fox was the most noble and the most glo-
rious sport in the world, except running down a
borough monger ; and if they did they would not
refuse to drink, with three times three—" John
Ward and fox-hunting."—(Drank with three dines
three.)
The CHAIRMAN, after calling for " The Bill, the
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," retired shortly
before eleven o'clock, having been in the chair nearly
eight hcurs.
The whole affair passed off extremely well, and
we have no doubt that this celebration of the triumph
of Reform will be long remembered by the " Men
of Kent."

G. GOODGER, 169, Strand.

The Rev. HUGH M'NEILE, whose sermon
is at present exciting some attention, is son-in-law of his
Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and Rector of Albury
in Surrey. He has always taken a prominent part in the
proceedings of the Reformation Society, and was the foun-
der of, we believe, a now defunct association called the
" Philo-Judean Society."

We copy the following from an Evening
Paper :

;‘ NEWSPAPERS SENT at POST.—A correspondent says,
' that the Postmaster-General has been engaged for some
days past with Sir F. Feeding, making arrangements for
having the covers of newspapers sent by post stamped with
such rates of postages as may he agreed upon after the
sitting of Parliament.' The worst of the proposed plan is,
that it will act partially. Most of the country and a great
proportion of the London Morning Papers are conveyed
in parcels, and not by post, while the Evening Papers go
by post almost exclusively. Without, therefore, some due
modification of the purposed plan, one kind of newspaper
Property will be seriously injured, in comparison with ano-
ther. It is trite to observe, that when once property is
vested under peculiar arrangements, every modification of
them requires the nicest consideration."
We know nothing of tie matter ourselves; and, with
our experience, the knowing nothing and expecting no
change are some proofs that no fresh change in the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer's last arrangements was requisite,
or is likely to be beneficial. It is no slight mischief not
to be
arran at rest, nor to be able to repose in confidence in any
gement.— Times.
