The cloth haVing been removed and " Benedictus" sung,
the Chairman proposed in succession the usual loyal toasts,
whieh were responded to with the utmost enthusiasm,
the CHAIRMAN, in giving " The Army and Navy," said
that their Noble Chairman last year had said, in giving that
toast, that he trusted it might be long before the services of the
army and navy would be again required. Ile little anticipated
that within a few months they would be again called into ac-
tit, ; but they had been called into action upon the scene of
their former exertions, and they had not been found wanting
'
the maintenance of their own and the national glory ; for-
ess after fortress had f Alen at their approach, and their suc-
cess had been moat complete.—(Loud cheers.) Still he
trusted that it would Le long before they had again to exult in
such trimsrphi, for they were triumphs invariably attended
with great hardship and misery.—(Cheers.)
Sir Josses .111ILLEy DOYLE returned thanks. He lamented
extremely the unavoidable absence of Sir George Cockburn
t andanSir George Murray, who were expected to acknowledge
athat w
toast ; but, when the captain was aay, the first lieute-
must take the command. Ile had attended that meeting
pertly to gratify himself, for he had found each successive meet-
ing of that institution more agreeable than the last, but mainly
sub; ILla a dsbt of gratitude on behalf of thousanas of his fellow.

01 the army and navy he again tendered his acknowledg-
ments for the cordiality with which the toast had been received.

to the toast peculiar to the occasion. He wished that he

ad now to treat ; but as every age could not have two

afte given to one Association to have 'its festival graced year

9 claims of those who had the labcrious task of furnihing
••thk_at daily amount of amusement and information ; of all la-
oat intellectual labour was that which most exhausted the
'-td who were engaged in it; and when they thought of the
rekdidainigell3t. toil, of the journeys by sea and land, of the ability,
tha, and industry required for the instant production of
which will interest and entertain from hour 'to hour, it
gust be acknowledged that of all literary men those engaged
furnishing the food of the daily press were the most de-
aerie,
b, g:. of sympathy and.support.—(Cheers.) He concluded
tel salog that as the ipress had given them much, he hoped
fecY would in return eontribute liberally to the funds of this
"sditution.—(Cheers.)
The toast was received with great warmth and enthusiam.
'l)r- SHERIDAN, the Chairman of the Directors, in return-
the thanks on behalf of the Association, said that the cause
',Bich he advocated would compensate for his deficiency ; for
rwas. the cause of pure find unalloyed benevolence, which never
erfed
„ % eloquent or elaborate recommendation to elicit
ji"so sympathy. It was essential to the character of this In-
! tuition that it should be recognised as one of a purely chari-
table nature ; he could state positively that no one of its mem-
f had joined the Association with a view to derive benefit
rorn it himself—( Cheers )--and if it should in any case become
la'aeeessary, the consciousness of having contributed to the fund
ti_ 0 eld diminish the pain of receving pecuniary assistance. It
ad been said that they oughti to depend entirely upon their
‘)•." re'onecee ; but their numbers were not sufficient to enable
Pubra to rrovEe for those who might fall Sato decay without
lio aid, and in receiving that aid they only imitated the ho-
turable example of the officers of her Majesty's army and navy,

Hitherto no member had applied for relief, but death had been
busye with them, and fortunately they had found the means of
l-"°tding some relief and assistance to the mother and children
eprived of -their natural protector in more than two cases.
Iras it not, he asked, emphatically more commendable to as-
14:fate together for the relief of distressed members accepting
.1" Public aid, than to leave the unfortunate amongst them de-
• t'lltient on casual relief, or perchance to perish in the streets ?
e put thete question emphatically to those' who had hitherto
refrained - from joining the association. Many who rose to ele-
. *ale(' stations from the press were afterwards ashamed of the
e-aonection ; the press had many ungrateful offspring; he
trusted that- he should never be one. He rejoiced that
Bch of their anniversary festivals had exhibited the aris-

which was confined to no rank or station. For. . his

SPI”IT of the PUBIJC JOURNALS.

noose THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—The vote of Saturday morning would be
received in/ the country as decisive with regard to any expec-
tations of an improvenient of our legislation from the present
Parliament. In fact, the present Parliament, for all but mete
matters of course, necessary for carrying on the public busi-
ness of the country, may now be considered as dissolved. This
issue vas ant icipatedfrem the moment Ministers announced their
intention !of attacking interests all-powerful in Parliament.
Ministers have done their part. They have thrown the Corn-
law question on the people themselves. The opportunity can-
not be too highly prized. The people have the satis-
faction of knowing that their Queen is with them.
That her confidence in Ministers is not shaken by the
vote of the House of Commons, is proved by her compliance
with the advice tendered to her by Ministers to dissolve the
present Parliament. Ministers by giving this advice have
launched the question. It remains to be seen whether the
people will respond to the confidence reposed in them by their
Sovereign, and afford that support to her Ministers .by which
alone they can hope to carry out measures of the utmost im-
portance to the well-being of the country. The people are now
on their trial. They have with them their Queen and her Minis-
ters, and if they nejleet the precious oppnrtunity,the whole crew
of monopolists will afterwards laugh to scorn all who, in the
name of the people, call for cheap bread. If, with
a Sovereign and a Ministry favourable to a repeal
of the monopoly of corn, the people fail to do their part, under
what combination of circumstance, can they hope to be re-
lieved from this monstrous evil? The landowners have deter-
mined that the commerce and manufactures of the country,
which are now staggering under the corn monopoly, shall be
sacrificed, rather than they will consent to any relaxation of
the monopoly. When the evil has been consummated—when
rem agriculture, which as Sir Robert Peel himself admits, is
dependent on the prosperity of cur manufactures, has sunk
under decreasing demand and increased burdens—then the
landowners themselves will call for a repeal of the Corn-laws,
but then it will be too late to recover our lost trade. The pre-
sent opportunity neglected, no chance wili he left of any good to the
people from a late and unprofitable repentance of:he lan downers.
Whtls it is yet time to secure to the industrious millions of
this country the means of profitable employment and sufficient
remuneration, we call on the constituencies to bethink them of
the awful responsibility which has devolved on them. Never
before in the history of this country was there an election
fraught with such important consequences as that which is now
about to take place. The crisis is one which will be decisive
not only of the future condition of the country, hot of the cha-
racter of the people themselves. If they suffer themselves to
be biassed by paltry considerations—if, at a time when Eng-
land's weal or woe hangs in the balance, they suffer themselves
to be bullied or bribed—if they lose sight of the objects for the
sake of which the Reform Bill itself was deemed but a means
—the reputation of the country will sink v ith its industry and
commerce.
TIMES.—The event•of Sir Robert Peel's motion has been
the happiest possible both for the Constitution and for the
country. Every one must perceive that, although a trifling
majority for Ministers on such an occasion would, as Lord
Stanley truly observed, have been (according to all constitu-
tional precedent) equivalent to a defeat, the moral effect is
infinitely greater when they are left in an actual minority. A
resolution of want of confidence has always been the most
difficult point for an Opposition; however powerful, to carry ;
it was a step which even Lord J. Russell did not feel strong
enough to propose when Sir R. Peel held office in 1835.
An Opposition which can do what Sir R. Peel' has now
succeeded in doing might confidently reckon upon such
support as would enable it, when backed by the weight
of official influence and the confidence of the Crown,
to carry on the Government without a dissolution of Parlia-
ment. It may seem, however, a paradox to some, that we
should call the result the happiest possible; that we should
proclaim not only the fact, but the amount of the majority,
to be matter of exultation. But so it is, by a singular con-
junction of circumstances, that while success upon this ques-
tion was of the greatest importance, it was nevertheless
desirable to succeed by the smallest possible majority.
Had the numbers for Sir Robert Peel's resolution been
greater, the increase must have come from a quarter whose
resistance, at the present moment, is of more value to the
Conservative party than its support. The House of Commons
could not have pronounced a clearer or more influential deci-
sion against Ministers, if some half dozen or more agricul-
tural Whigs, who voted for the Anti Corn-law Government,
had ranged themselves upon the winning side ; nor would the
effect of that decision upon the actual Ministerial en is have been
in any degree different from what it must be now. Messrs. Hand-
ley and Co., therefore, would have done nothing to promote the
success of the Conservative cause, if they had voted upon this
occasion according to the wishes of their constituents. As
it is, they have done the Conservative cause excellent
service—bett.r service, indeed, than we should have supposed
it possible for so small a knot of such inconsiderable persons
to do: they have actually made the Conservatives a present
of eight or ten seats in Parliament, making a difference of
sixteen or twenty votes upon a division, which by following a
more plausible or more independent course they might them-
selves have still continued to occupy, to the serious embar-
rassment of the future Government upon all questions of ge-
neral policy. Such must be the consequences of Sir R. Peel's
success by a majority of one, considered with reference to the
dissolution, which that success not only renders certain, but
must very rr aterially accelerate.
HER A LD.—ln a day or two we shall have occasion to show,
in treating of the Corn-law question, that the most barefaced
frauds are practised in getting up, by means of a combination
or conspiracy to defraud (the Legidature) the anti-petitions on
that question. But more or less, the same vice is introduced
into the preparation of pititions on all other matters of great
public interest. Now the absurdity of the practice is, that
the very nature of the term "petition" suggests the no-
tion of some party which asks a favour or a right—soli-
cits a grace or presses a privilege—of or from a superior.
But if the array of vast numbers avowedly congregated to
give the more imposing effect to their petition, and an intl..
nitesimal multiplication of that petition by an extensive con-
federacy of agents, with the declared purpose of making the
concession of their prayer irresistible ft one the mass of its re-
petitions;- if these practices are to be recognised as legitimate
on the part of the petitioners, the body petitioned has no free
agency. If it yield, it yields to constraint. If it yield to eon-
'Straint it does not acknow!edge the right of petition, but the
right of the many to coerce the few. Parliament itself,— and
the Courts of Law in administering the statutes passed by Par-
liament,—have not been so remiss, in periods of our history still
recent, in guarding whilst they defined, this noble privilege.
, Thus, on the trialftvf Lord George Gordon, Lord Mansfield and
the Court declared that they were clearly of opinion that the
statute (13 Car. 11., st. 1, c: 5, directed among other things
against the offence of tumultuous petitioning) was not, in any
degree affected by the Bill of Rights (1 W. and M., st. 2, c. 2).
We, for our own parts, stand up for the undoubted, constitu-
tional right of petition,—(in its constitutional exercise, that is,
unabused and unperverteel,)—to that ample and absolute ex-
tent at which we find it laid down by the highest authorities
-on such subjects.
POST. —'fhe position of the Ministry is simply this
that, in the opinion of the House of Commons, as re-
corded upon the journals of that House; the existence of
the Administration is at variance with the spirit of
Constitution. How long this " Liberal " Government
is to remain, depending upon the favour of the Crown,
although rebuked and disowned by the representatives of
the people, it were a rash thing to prophecy. We do not
presume to test the measure of Whig-Radical audacity, or
the length to which it may think proper to
.go, in showing
the most reckless disregard of that constitutional authority
which the party once professed to hold in so much rever-
ence. It is generally understood that the Cabinet Councils
which were held on. Saturday led to no definitive result. The
agony of indecision has been but increased by a conside-
ration of the circumstances which surround the present
Government. There are three courses which may be
taken. The Government may persevere (in defiance of
the decision of the House of Commons that the continu-
ance of its existence is unconstitutioral), and may en-
deavour to bring on the Corn-law discussion. This
is the first course. Secondly, The Government may at
once dissolve the Parliament; and thirdly, it may resign with-
out dissolving. As to the first course, it is understood that,
besides the direct opposition to the judgment of the Muse of
Commons which it would involve, Ministers are unwilling to
exhibit themselves at the close in a still worse position that' that
which they occupied on Saturday morning. 'I he idea that the
country would be influenced in their favour by their speeches
on the Corn-la* question, seems to be abandoned by all but the
Ministerial prints as utterly absurd.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
(mom A CORRESPONIENT.)
MastorEsrea.—All is excitement here, and the glorious
Anti-Corn-law League will exercise an important influence in
deciding the fate of the election. Sir George Murray's chance
is sadly impaired by the introduction of a second Tory candi-
date in the person of Mr. W. Entwisle. Sir George has pub-
licly announced himself as favourable to a fixed duty of Bs. It
wont suit here—Alanchester views a fixed duty as a fixed in-
justice. Sir George will no doubt poll more votes than. Mr.
Entwisle, but Philips and Gib,on are sure to head him if
pledges are honourably kept. Mr. Philips will be at the top
of the poll, let the election come when it may.
SALFORM—The Reformers must not be too sure here, and
allow their energies to slumber. Money will abound, and its
application has considerable weight. It is Air. Garnett's last
effort, and Tory desperation will be their game. Mr. Brother-
ton's zeal and constant attendance in the House of commons
has caused the Tories to designate him, in the bitterness of
their wrath, " The Salford Watchman ;,' but Mr. Garnett is
certainly not fit to carry the watchmnn's lantern, and would, to
use an Irish:sm, be found to progress backwards. It will be a
more severe race than some imagine. -
Asierote.—No one is announced here in opposition to the
present Member, Charles Hindley, Esq. ; and his visit last
Tuesday evening has united the Reformers in one cause, viz.,
abolition of all monopolies. The Tories are almost sere to
bring forward a candidate, and as surely will they be defeated.
They want a candidate who will bleed.
Saver:roam—Major Marsland's political days are num-
bered. Mr. Richard Cobden has consented to sit in his stead.
This announcement has paralyzed the Stockport Tories, who
are Mad with rage. The requisition to Mr. Cobden contains
570 voters, and the total numb-i upon the registration list does
not reach 1,100, and the same party giving their support to Mr.
N. Marsland, it is• not presumptuous in saying Stockport is
safe. Free trade and Cobden are synonymous, and in his elec-
tion old St. Stephens will receive an intrepid and fearless
pleader for freedom of trade and an unrestricted intercourse with
those nations who will give us toed for our goods.
ROCHDALE.—Mr. James Fenton is put forward by the To-
ries, his name being the prineil:al cause of their kind solicita-
tions, as they imagine some weak-minded creatures will not
oppose a Fenton. But• if shameless pledge breaking is not
acted upon, Mr. Sharman Crawford is secure.
NoaTtr CIIESHIRE.—The vast bulk of the commercial gen-
try have already determined to support Mr. E. J. Stanley at
the forthcoming election. At the head stands 111 r. Thomas
Ashton of Hyde, one of the largest, oldest, and most influential
manufacturers of that division, and at this important crisis the
man who supports a monopolist in preference to Air. Stanley is
either mentally incapacited or. morally unfitted to exercise the
right of a freeman.

NORTH WALES.
The recent defeat of the Ministry on the question of cheap
sugar, ano Sir Robert Peel's 'attempt to preclude all discussion
likely to lead to cheap corn and to cheap timber, have roused
the constituencies of the counties and boroughs of North
Wales ; and induced a feeling of abhoirence towards the
Tories, and gratitude towards the Cabinet, which promises fair
to elicit some beneficial changes in thereiTesentation.
CARNAILVONSIIIRE--We are not, at present, able to an-
nounce an opponent to that young sprig of Toryim, J.- 0.
Gore, Esq. ; but a strong hope and trust remain that some
Liberal candidate will vet step forward to free the county of
Carnarvon from so ralpable a misrepresentation.
ANGLESEY.—Here, we are happy to gate, no opposition
has been announced, either for the county or the boroughs,
the Honourable W. 0. Stanley and Colonel Frederic Paget
being too firmly seated in the affections an I gratitude. of their
constituents, to permit an opponent to come forward with the
probability of success.
DENBIGIISIIIRE.—The county, as far as we yet see, must
still bear the odium of being represented by the Hon. W.
13agot and the' Hon. H. Cholmondeley.
FLINTSIIIRE.—By an addrtss in our present columns, it
be seen that the lion. E. M. Lloyd Mostyn has offered
himself for the county, to the presznt mortification, and
.doubtless the future defeat, of that persecuting bigot and
electioneering trafficker, Sir' Stephen Glynne. The honour..
able gentleman' return will afford a • triumph to the twin
