PUBLIC DINNER TO THE
MEMBERS FOR COCKERMOUTH.

NEW WORK BY DHSS PARDOE.

This day is published, in '1 Volumes, cloih,p-rice 11.11 s. 6d.,

(Abridged from the Carlisle Journal.)
There are few places in England in which so much
public spirit is displayed as in the little borough of
Cockormouth ; or where the constituents and represen-
tatives appear to have a more perfect understanding be-
tween each other ; nor arc there many places which can
boast of more attentive, zealous, and talented Members.
On Tuesday lest the members were invited to a public
dinner by their constituents ; and so full a muster of the
independent party we have never witnessed within the
borough. Their reception was most enthusiastic,
An d if ever General Wyndham entertained a se-
rious hope of ousting one of them, the gathering
of Tuesday must have shown him pretty clearly
the fallaciousness of the ground on which it was
built. The number of voters who attended the dinner,
and thus, in effect, pledged themselves to the support of
the present representatives, equalled within one or two
the total number who could be whipped up to vote for 1
the General at the last election ; whilst a great many of
even the staunchest supporters of the cause
,were un-
avoidably absent from various unforseen circumstances.
Nearly 200 persons were present. F. L. B. Dykes,
Esq., of Dovcnby Hall, took the chair, supported right
and left by H. A. Aglionby, Es ~.std E. Horsman,
Esq., the representatives of the if gugh .and guests of
the evening. The Vice-Chair was ably filled by Robert
Benson, Esq. Both Mr. Aglionby and Mr. Horsman
appeared in excellent health and high spirits.
After the usual Royal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN gave " Lord Melbourne and her
Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.) The present
Government had done much to merit the confidence
and attachment of the people. Tb• ability they bad
displayed—the wise measures they had brought forward
—their liberal and enlightened views of foreign and do-
mestic policy—the temper and judgment they had shown
in the roost trying circumstances--all entitled them to
the confidence and the gratitude of the people.—(Loud
cheers.) It was by this line of policy that they had pre-
served tranquillity at home, and essentially contributed
to maintain the peace of Europe.—(Cheers.) He had
great pleasure, therefore, in proposing the toast.—
(Drunk with three times three, enthusiastic cheers, and
one cheer more.)
EDWARD HORSMAN, Esq.—As the humblest member
of that Administration, whose health they had just
drank, it was, his duty to return thanks for the honour
they had conferred. There was a time when a Minister
who advocated popular measures required strong means
to meet end combat the opposition of the people ; but,
fortunately for them, the case was now the very reverse,
and that Minister must have strong nerves indeed who
would bring forward or advocate any other measures
than those of a liberal and popular character.—(Loud
cheers.) For himself he had only to say, that elle cook
office as a conscientious supporter of the Ministry,yidio
were then in power, and it was a high satisfaction to
know that whilst he supported the Ministry he had-not
lost the good opinion of those whose representative he
had the honour to be.—(Loud cheers.) He had only
to add, that as the Ministry had hitherto gained their ap-
probation, he should continue to give them his best sup-
port and assistance—that he would never change so long
as the Administration held the same place in their esti-
mation which they held at present. Should he do so,
he hoped his constituents would mark their sense of the
change by withdrawing their confidence from him.—
(Loud and continued cheFs.)

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, mt only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
neretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 47/. 169. 6d. : 3941. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
:nod always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prispectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

Tne CliAlithiAN said, the next toast was that which
brought them to the real business of the evening ; and
it was with the greatest satisfaction he had now to give
them the healths of their worthy representatives, who
had come to give an account of their stewardship.—
(Loud cheers.) Like trusty servants they had come to
answer for themselves—to explain their conduct—.and
he was quite sure the explanation they would give
would be satisfactory.—(Cheers.) Very few boroughs
stood in so proud a position as Cockermouth. They
had two representatives who were both thorough Re-
formers—men of tried honesty and unflinching indepen-
dence.—(Loud cheers.) These were qualifications
which belonged to both representatives of very few

_ .
boroughs in the kingdom, and which could not be too
highly estimated. (The toast was drunk with three
tremendous cheers, and one cheer' more.)
H. A. AeLIoNI3Y, Esq.—l come amongst you not
merely in my public capacity as one of your representa-
tives—but I come as one of yourselves—as a near
neighbour, and one who must ever feel deeply anxious
for the prosperity of the borough of Cockermouth.—
(Cheers.) Our worthy Chairman has very properly
said. that we come to give an account of our steward-
ship—to answer for the manner in which we have dis-
charged the duties of the high and honourable trust you
hare imposed in us. This I have always considered
one of the most important 'duties of a representative, and
one which ought never, on any account, to be omitted.
—(Cheers.) It answers a double purpose—it keeps
the representative to his duty, and it enables his
and see no
con-
stituents to judge fully and fairly of his conduct, aid
of his fitness for the trust they repose in him.
(Renewed cheering.) Butdi
miitnuitsionnootf merelyal— nion tt.nu-merical point of view that I delight in this meeting. I
look around,
abate-
ment of ardour—no cooling of nthusi zeal—no
atm ; no— see
a body of honest and independent e
i men ready to join
with one heart and one
enemy.—(Cheers.) Withhandrespect
n otpposing the common
o
Parliament, I shall
Simply referpec to
myto thcoen u
votest i I
have given. They are before you, andynu
you will l dis-
charge your duty if you do net canvass them with the
utmost strictness.—(Cheers.) The time is not far dis-
tant when you knew nothing of the conduct of your re-
presentatives, for you knew nothing of the votes that they
gave. I have contributed my aid on two different
Committees to change that system of secrecy, the effect
.
of which was to keep the people in ignorance of the
votes given by their representatives. Both Committees
recommended publicity, and after a long struggle it was
carried that the votes should be printed.—(Cheers.) I
refer you, then, to these votes, and it will be for you to
judge whether they are such as entitle me to your con-
fidence. I respect the organs of public opinion—
no man would do more to ma:attain the liberty of
the press than I would do—no man estimates the
liberty at a higher price ; but I must say, that by one
at least of those organs, I have been made the object of
remark, as unfair to myself as it is insulting to you
( Hear.) It has been said that I have published a list
of votes, which would condemn me in the opinion of any
save my constituency. Now, you, Gentlemen, are sitne
—though that organ has dared to insinuate that you
are net—and I throw myself upon you, and confidently
ask whether those votes arc such as condemn me in
in your good opinion ?—(Cheers.) I complain of no
man for holding his own opinions, or for expreseine
those opinions. On the contra y, I leave every man
to think for himself ; and so long as I'have life, I will
act according to my own judgment. If any man
doubts
the propriety of the votes I have given, I hope he will
now question me concerning them—l am ready to an-
swer him;—(Loud cheers.) It has been said that you,
Gentlemen, the electors of Cockermouth, are ready

Mr. HonsmeN was greeted with loud applause. He
said, after some preliminary remarks, it is much more a
contest of principles, where we have, in accordance with
the principles we have professed,
.t night after night,
i
step after Step, inch by neh, o exert ourselves to ad-
vance the opinions you bave adopted, and to keep back
those to which you are opposed (Loud applause.) It
is a mistake into which You are apt to fall to suppose
that the great political contest of a country is only for
one party or set of men to be appointed Ministers, and
either to be sent into office. It is no such thing. The
Ministers themselves are actually- insignificant. It is the
principles they avow, the principles thy adopt, the pro-
motion of the interest of those of whom they are the
organs and representatives—our feelings, daily position,
and comforts, are all affected by the policy of the Go-
vernment. And here we stan, not separated from you

selves—upholders of those principles which you your-
selves, from reading, reflection, and experience, have
adopted as those which are moat advantageously to be
acted upon,—(Hear.) We have adopted those princi-
ples from reason and reflection. The history of the last 50
years has taught us that there is much to lament, and
still more to censure, in the manner in which the go-
vernment of this country has been carried on.—(Hear,
hear.) We know of wars—long and bloody wars—
injudiciously incurred and expensively carried on abroad.
We know that the liberty of the subject was frequently
curtailed at home.—(Hear, hear, hear.) We know of a
press that has been fettered. We know of men that have
been persecuted and punished because of conscientious
religious opinions. We know of others who have been
rewarded with the gibbet and gallows, for the honest
assertion of their political rights.—(Cheers.) This sys-
tem continued through a long series of years. But in
all that long period, there was a party in the country
who advocated pare and free principles ; a party of men
who underwent every odium and reproach, because they
struggled for relief to the consciences of the Dissenters,
and battled day after day, and night after night, to
throw off the letters by which they were enslaved—who
sacrificed popularity and power, because they insisted
on a full and free representation of the people.—(Hear,
hear.) We have tied ourselves to those laws which
encourage those principles, and are determined to try
them to their full results. We support the policy of men
who advocate and uphold the liberty of the subject,
and who think that so far from it being their duty to
hold from the people as much as they dare, it is their
duty to give as much as they can.—( Loud applause.)
Believing that they are advanced in education and intel-
ligence, and having full confluence in the power which
that intelligence affords, we will not be trammelled by
laws made for helplessness, and, as in private life we
give larger discretion to any man who is intelligent and
trustworthy, so in public life it is the duty of a Ministry
to enlarge the institutions of a country in proportion as
the intelligence of the people expands. Such, I believe,
has been the policy of the party with which I act ; and
1 have seen nothing in any measure of Reform but
which hat brought forth good fruits, and I view with no
apprehensions the name of change, seeing that every
change of which I have had experience has been a
change for the better.—(Loud and long continued ap-
plause.) Amongst the present opposition—the Tory
party—you find very many men, in a party, too, which
haw in it much rank, wealth, and intelligence, and much,
I may say, honesty and good intentions—you find in
that party scarcely any species of political absurdity, I
may say, political iniquity, that will not find advocates
in some of its supporters. There are men in that party
who think honestly and conscientiously that rotten bo-
roughs were a necessary part and connection of our na-
tion, and that they were essential to its prosperity and
greatness.—( Loud laughter.) There are men who con-
scientiously think that the poor man's vote ought to be
only at the rich man's will.—(Laughter.) There are
men who think shopkeepers are content to be, and really
ought to be the vassals of rich proprietors.—(lncreased
laughter)—and that to teach them to read, write, and
think would unfit them to remain in that state of con-
tented servitude in which it was the will of Providence
to place them.—(Laughter and applause.) There are men
who conscientiously wish to re-enact the laws against
Dissenters, and who would enforce them in the fires of
Smithfield, and eradicate those Dissenters by the faggot
and the sword. There are men who think that the
paring-stone and bludgeon are the proper and legiti-
mate instruments for carrying an election—( Roars of
laughter, and loud applause)—and that the best elec-
tioneering agent is a good cook.--(Reiterated applause
and loud laughter.) Some time since I recollect the
case of a gentleman who being allied to a great man,
suddenly changed his opinions ; his reasons for so doing
were recorded by a poet in a verse more remarkable
for its truth than its elegance :
" A man who cats in his words as he cats up his mutton,
And merges all creeds in the creed of a glutton;
A Radical once, now a Tory he struts,
With a new set of principles safe in his
guts."
(Hear, hear.) There is one principle in particular
which is most intolerable, and which we have need to
dread. Upon alt political questions "the Church" has
been placed in the front of the battla.—(Hear, hear.)
It will be no fault of theirs if the Church do no: fall
in England as it has fallen in Ireland under the policy
they have adopted for the extension of Protestantism.
—(Hear.) According to the Tory creed everything
is dependent on the Church—every place to be given
to the professors of Church doctrines, and to them
only. This was their practice in Ireland. Need I re-
mind you of its result ? This practice has been changed
under the present Government, wad Ireland is now at
peace.—(Applause.) And whatever may be the boast
and pride of other Governments, and however humble
may be the capacity in which I am connected with the
present, I am proud to have, in the most remote mon-
mer, :supported the policy of a Government which,
finding the people ignorant, ,endeavoured to raise them
in the scale of society by inftoing knowledge amongst
them—(Hear, hear)—which found the Dissenter,- pros-
trate and degraded at the foot of the Establishment, and
raised him up and admitted him to the rights of citizen-
ship, and told him that henceforth the Gospel to be ho-
noured was not that which was merely written in brass,
but engraved in the heart of every true believer.—
(Cheers.) And although the adoption and steadfast adhe-
rence to this principle has subjected us to much accusation
and reproach, although, we are, told that our party is
made up of incongruous materials, of men of different
political views, and of various religious opinions,—so far
from feeling it a matter of reproach, I cherish it as the
proudest compliment, that we are the members of a
party which has been the first to raise the standard of

We regret to state tha - accounts have reache

MUNGO PARK AND THE MOOR.—When this
celebrated traveller returned from his fist journey to
Africa, he brought along with him a Moor of the oetter
class, who resided for some time at Fowlshiels 'arm in
Selkirkshire, occupied by one of the traveller's brothers
and lying nearly opposite Newark Tower, the ancient
stronghold of the Murray, of Philiphaugh. The appear-
ance of the African in that quarter excited much interest
at the time, and the inhabitants of Selkirk had many op-
portunities of seeing him dressed with turban and flowing
robes when going to the butcher market of that burgh to
kill a sheep for his own special use, according to the rites
of his country, which he did with wonderful dexterity. He
was a tall, powerful man, of an amiable disposition ; and, it
is presumed, again accompanied the traveller in his second
journey to Africa.—Correspondent ofthe Scotsman.
BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—We are glad to hear
(as we are snrc that it will give the works snore time to

shareholders, the opening of this line to Hooley-lane is
postponed to the spring, by which time it will probably be i
ready to open to Hayward's-heath—that s, to within 14
miles of Brighton.—Railway Magazine.

?RCM& VISION.—A greater proof of the value of the
Messrs. S. and B Solomon's Invisible Operative Voice
Conductor and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, can-
not be adduced, than the circumstance of the many
thousands of individuals who have obtained the greatest
benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense de-
mand there is for them, and the patronage they have and
daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons disclaim all connection with persons of the same
name, and the sale of amber spectacles ; the psrniciens
ase of amber spectacles being now well known to the
public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore
altered their name, by leaving sat the word " A mber,''
and calling them " Patent Spectacles" Dr. A. ndrew

Brewster and Pliny, and also by Parks and Hearns on
chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a
material fanr spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascer-
tained at y respectable optician's in London.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING.

The animation► of Tuesday morning was not carried on
this forenoon, when the attendance was limited, and two
Derby horses only backed to an extent to require com-
ment. Marshal Soult was one at 20, to win about 2,000/. ;
we think the party accepting would have gone on. The
other horse was Mr. Edmund Buckley's Brother to Torn ;
at first 200 to 6 was accepted but it was very speedily fol-
lowed up by a bet of 1,000 to 25, which may be considered
the outside price; Ralph was offered against at 35 to 1,
and Sycophant at 40. Nothing was said of Eringo,
Rosalie, Sir Hans, and several others ; the Nob, Joachim,
and Hawk-eye were named but no prices transpired ;11 to
1 was offered v. Colonel Peel's lot, 12 wanted. An offer
of 3 to 1 on the field for the Harborough Steeple Chase
closed the business.
