CONSERVATIVE DINNER.

On Monday last the members of the Chester and Cheshire
Conservative Association dined togetbtr at the Albion
Hotel, Chester. The number present was about 160.
The chair was occupied by the Gallant and Noble
Viscount Combermere, G.C.B. ; the vice-chairs were filled
by the Hon. Hugh Cholmendeley, Sir Robert Cunliffe,
Bart., R. H. Barnston, Esq., of Crewe, Charles Ford, Esq.,
of Abbey-field, and J. W. Hammond, Esq., of Wistaston.
After dinner the following gifted orators held forth in the
true Tory strain, recapitulating the oft-demolished fallacies
of the faction, and serving up, by way of dessert we sup-
pose, the stale fruit retailed by the Tinier, with the faded
flowers of our anile contemporary of Shoe-lane. The
Chairman, of course, fist made his speech, then followed. a
General O'Loughlen, whom we never before heard of ; Sir
H. Mainwaring, Lords Delamere and Cole, Sirs F. Lager-
ton, It. Vaughan, and It. Brooks, then spoke in the order
in which their names stand, followed by the Rev. J. "Main-
waling, who spoke at great length about the popularity of
the Established Church, and concluded by torjsting the
Duke of Wellington.

On Friday, on the London and Manchester down
mail arriving at the Red Lion, Leek, Staffordshire, where
the horses are changed, one of the passengers could not be
found, and the mail went forward without him. In a few
moments after it had started the report of a pistol was
heard in the house, and on proceeding to the water-closet,
the unfortunate and missing passenger was found to have
shot himself with a pistol under the right tar. He died in
a few moments. The deceased, apparently a foreigner,
seemed to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years of
age- On examining his pockets, a considerable sum of
money (500/. or 6001.) was found in sovereigns, doubloon?,
and foreign notes. He had a second pistol loaded in his
possession.

which may not occur again for centuries, took place yester-

LINE OF PACKETS Tb LlVERPOOL.—According
C., a new line of packet ships are about
to a Advertise
to be the
eDstabil y lished betrveen this and Liverpool. The ships
are to sail from Liverpool on the loth, and from New Vork
on the 30th. There are to be four ships, bearing the. clas-
sic names of Garrick, Shakspearc, Siddons, and Sheridan,
and are each to be 800 tons burden. This will make 24
ships between this port and Liverpool, which waited will
exceed 1,700 tons. So much for one branch of the com-
mercial enterprise between this and Liverpool. There are
now five regular lines of packet ships, and all we believe
well patronized,--New York Paper, Sept. 30.
