CaNS7 ITUTIONAL LIVERY.

The Third Anniversary of the Constitutional Li-
very was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Al-
derman C. SMITH in the Chair.

After dinner, Non Domine was most im-
pressively sling by Messrs. Dignum, Taylor, Smith,
Leete, Pyne, 'Ferran, Doyle, and Master Doyle.
" The King," with. three times three, was drank
wich the,most unbounded applause.
The popular air of God save the King
,followed.
" The Prince Regent," with three times three,
was then given and received with reiterated plaudits.
Mr. Taylor sung " The Prince and Old England
for ever."

" The Queen and Royal Family" was then drank'
with similar sy_mptocn4 of approbation.
" The House of Brunswick, and may it never for-
get the principles which seated the .Family on the
throne of these realms".
The CUAIRMAN then addressed the Meeting, to
propose a toast, which he was convinced that all
would drink with sentiments of regret. After the
assassination of the Right Honourable Spencer.
Perceval, he should be wanting in those feelings
which he owed to the Meeting—feelings which all
descriptions of persons had shewn, if he were to de,
lain them by any encomium on the merits of.. the
lamented person to whom he had alluded ; those
merits had been fully acknowledged by his very ene-
mies, if enemies he. had. All parts of the kingdom
had been loud in detestation of the ad which depriv-
ed the country of his services and therefore Ile
would not detain them further dtan to proposeH
" The immortal memory of the Right Honour-
able Spencer Perceval ;" which he recommended to
be drank in silence.

This sentiment was accordihgly thank in the
manner proposed.

" Peace to the 'souls of herpes," was then sung
with the most'happy.effeol.
Mr. BROWN then proposed the health of the wor-
thy Chairman, observing, that the Livery were as-
sembled for the most important and beneficial pur-
poses, to tell' the country and the world that they
were-sensible they lived under, and enjoyed in its_
utmost purity, the blessing of liberty and the free
exercise of.the Constitution. They bad been gross-
ly traduced and misrepresented by those persons
who had got posiession of the Common Hill on a
late occasion, and held forth doEtrines as those of
the Livery of London, calling for a redress of griev-
ances under the specious name of Reform, and
holding out inflammatory language trot calculated t,)
benefit the State. In reference to such men, he
he would say "we desire no change, and least of
all such change as you would give us."
The health of the worthy Chairman was then,
drunk amidst the most unqualified applause.

Mr. Alderman 'SMITLI retutned thanks in a neat
speech, in which, after a
,due tribute to the loyal
Livery of London, he expressed himself in, the, most
feeling terms of abhorrence at the late atrocious as-
sassination of Mt'. Perceval.

The next toasts were "The Army and Navy."—
" The Lord Mayor" then followed.
" Lord George Beresford, and the Loyal and In-
depent Irish."
Lord G. BERESFORD addressed the Meeting in
very impressive terms ; and, after doing justice to
the disposition of the people of .Ireland, paid a most
neat and elegant compliment to the conduct of the
prince Regent. His Lordship concluded by giving
—" The Loyal and Independent Livery of London,
who signed the Declaration of May, 1810."
" Earl Wellington, and, our brave and gallant
Army in Portugal and Spain."

This toast wis drank atnidst the loudest acclany-
tions.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the.healths of the
Itertesentatives, Sir W. Curtis and Sir J: Shaw ; Sir
C. Price being absent on account of the loss of a
valuable and near relation. The Chairman observed,
that had not business in the House of Commons de-
tained the Eton. Gentleman, Mr. Mellish would have
been present.
Sir W. Curti.ts and Sir J. SHAW returned thanks,
in short, but loyal and impressive speeches.
Mr. Alderman ATKINS then proposed the health
of 'the Gentlemen who this day carried up the Ad-
dress, and enforced the necessity, in an energetic
speech, of preserting the Contitution'entire—of kit-
ing with vigour and energy—and of convincing the
country, that, in the conduct of the loyal and inde-
pendent Livery could they hope for success.
