PITT CLUBS.

The ANNLVERSARY of the BOLTON PITT CLUE.'
The. Patint Express contains a long and_ interesting report
'oral* celebration of Mr. Pitt's birth-day in that town. Its
length, of necessity, excludes it from our columns, but we
cannot resist the pleasure of giving a brief outline of the pro.
ceedings.
The Members of the Bolton Pitt Club dined together at
the Commercial Inn, on Saturday, the 28th ult. A bat of
the lamented Statesman was placed at one end of the room,
surrounded with laurel, and a label, with the words, " The
Pilot that weathered the Storm." 'Dinner was on the table
a little before sit. The 'Chairman, -William Bolling, Esq.,
was supported by the Rev. J. Slade, Colonel 'Fletcher, Wil-
:Earn Hutton, Richard Ainsworth, •J. and T. Ridgway, &qrs.-
The Vice-President, Mr. Chadwick, was supported by Messrs.
Kay, A. Haworth, Kearsley, Watkins, jun., Matthevii, and
others.
..
After the cloth was removed the President gave-- •
" His Majesty the King and Duke of Lancaster, and may he
continue to reign in the hearts of his people; three times
three. The Bolton band? stationed in the gallery, played
" God: save the King," which was also sung by the Gentlertien,
alternately, in verse and chorus.
" The Duke of York and the other branches of the Royal
Family 4" tune, " Duke of York's March."
" The memory of his late Majesty George the Third," drank
in solemn silence ; tune,'" The Old Hundredth Psalm."
The PRE3IDEIf T then rose to propose a toast, to which he
felt himself incompetent to do adequate justice. It was his
duty to propose the memory of one who was endeared to the
hearts of all who were present. It was impossible for us to
appreciate the benefits which had resulted from his policy, nor
could they he appreciated in our time: He was an example
worthy to be imitated by us alt. He would not trespass any
longer upon the patience of the company, but he ifould pro.
pose, " The me:nory of the Right Honourable William Pitt."
Drank in solemn silence.
Tune " The Dead March in Saul."
A series of appropriate toasts and loyal speeches followed.
Mr. HULTON spoke more than once. Ile closed his last
animated address to the Meeting by proposing, as a toast, that
friend of the Reformed Religion--" The Duke of York."—.
Much as the applause was which had been elicited at the an,
nunciation of some of the former toasts, it sunk into insignifi-
cance in comparison with this. Three times three was given
three times over. After this toast had been drank, which was
a little aftes ten, the Chairman, accompanied by a number of
Gentlemen, retired.

THE CARLISLE PITT CLUB.
The twelfth anniversary dinner of the Carlisle Pitt Club took
place at the Bush Inn on Alonday last, %Vii. HODGSON, Esq.,
in the Chair.
The cloth having been removed, the Chairman gave—" The
King," and the usual toasts complimentary to the other branches
of the Royal Family. These were followed by the "Army
and " Navy," associated with their Royal Highnesses of York
and Clarence. The next toast was " The Lord• Lieutenant of
the County," with three times three, and great applause.
" The Memory of the late Right Hon. William Pitt" was
drank in silence, company standing.
The Chairman next proposed in succession—the Members for
the county—the Members for the City—the Lord Bishop of the
Diocese—his Majesty's Ministers drank with loud applause)._
the Members tbr Westmorland—the Duke of York as a Peer of
Parliament--the Lord Chancellor—May the principles of Mr.
Pitt ever animate the Councils of Great Britain, itc.
A great number of other toasts followed, and several gentle-
men exercised their musical powers with happy effect.
