PUBLIC DINNER TO SIR B. HAIL.
AND LORD DUDLEY STUART.
Last night a public dinner was given to the Hon.
Members tor the borough of Marylebone, at the White.
Conduit House Tavern, Pentonville. About 300 sat
down to dinner, including most of the influential and
active Reformers of the district. J. William, Esq., M.P.,
occupied the chair, having on his right Sir B. Hall,
M.P., Sir Joshua Walensley, Mr. George Thompson,
M.P. ; and on his left Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., and
Mr. Wyld, M.P. At the cross-table we noticed Messrs.
C. Wilson, Niel:Kiley, Soden, Joseph, M'Evelly, Garnett,
J. Wilson, Augard, Dr. Pritchard, Messrs. Dyke,
Clarke, Stockton, Ivimey, Howarth, Douglas, Good-
win. &c. &c.
The CHAIRMAN having proposed the Queen, Prince
Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family, and the com-
pany having duly honoured these toasts,
Mr. JOSEPH proposed "The health of Sir B. Hall."—
(Cheers.) He was sure that in naming the senior Mem-
ber first, he required to make no apology to the Noble
tLhoeri dr ,
His tc.o
14) eeamgubee,rs because
sought he
any
precedence
believed
that
h oef
other, save to promote the prosperity of the borough.
Sir B. Hall had been their representative for eleven
years, and during the whole of that period had never
given a vote contrary to the wishes of his constituents.
In a thorough knowledge of Parliamentary business
and attention to the private business of Parliament he
stood second to none During the whole of that time
there had never been a session in which Bills affecting
Marylebone and St. Pancras had not been brought for-
ward, and the Hon. Baronet had at all times attended
to them in a manner which had earned for him the
gratitude of the whole constituency.—(Cheers.) But it
was not merely on the ground of his being a good local
representative that he based his claims, but also that he
had latterly displayed great ability on public questions,
and especial,y in his resistance to the claims of a certain
section of the Irish Members.—(Cheers.)
The toast was responded to with enthusiasm.
• Sir B. HALL, M.P., who was received with loud
Cheers, said he had been called upon, on many occasions
to return thanks for similar honours as that now paid,
but on no former occasion had there been so unanimous
an expression of good feeling towards their representa-
tives as had then been shown.—(Hear, hear.) The
meeting had given an earnest that it approved of his
conduct, and that of his Noble Friend. Ile might go
farther, and say that the borough of Marylebone was
present that day, to pay a compliment to their represen-
tatives, because they were desirous of going forward with
large measures of social and political reform, and that
that large, intelligent, and wealthy borough desired to
back their representatives in demanding these reforms.
—(Cheers.) In these times such a demonstration was
most gratifying. He was not one of those who desired
a republic.—(Loud cheers.) He was not one of those
who advocated violence in procuring reforms, or would
introduce anarchy.—(Hear, hear.) But he was most
desirous of promoting the security of the Throne, and
the best way, in his opinion, was to remove any
abuses that might have crept into our institutions, and
at the same time to introduce, peaceably and gradually,
the reforms which the wants and the intelligence of the
age demanded.—(Cheers.) These were uo new opinions
for him to give utterance to. He had held and expressed
them in the House of Commons for the last twenty years
during which he had been in Parliament; and seeing
that they were not the opinions of a day, he thought he
could give no better guarantee as to the course he should
pursue in future.----(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Baronet
having referred to the population, wealth, and varied in-
terests of the borough of Marylebone, said he was aware
that it was impossible for him to expect to please everybody
in that great community. All he could do was to perform
his duty without any partiality, and on the broad ground
of principle alone.—(Hear.) Mr. Joseph had referred
to the number of private Bills which were constantly
brought before Parliament affecting the borough. There
was scarcely a month in which such Bills were not
brought forward. Ho had felt it to be his duty on all
occasions to make himself acquainted with the pro.
visions of these Bills, and it had given him great
pleasure to maintain in all their integrity those
local institutions, and that system of local self-govern-
ment of which they were SO justly proud.—(Cheers.)
The neighbouring parish of Paddington was, he
believed, at present endeavouring to secure local self-
government, and so far as his humble services could aid
them they were at their disposal.—(Loud cheers.) With
respect to the affairs of Ireland, which had been alluded
to by Mr. Joseph, he could only say that in the course
he had taken. he had been actuated by no feelings
of hostility to the sister country, but as the representa-
tive of a constituency which contributed largely to the
taxation of this country, he was bound not to permit
the finances of this country to be misapplied.—(Hear,
hear.) But besides the public business of Parliament, it
was well known that attendance on Committees required
much time. It did absorb a large portion of his atten-
tion, but so long as they were willing to send him there,
he should be ready to devote his time and energies to
their service, to search into abuses, and to promote the
great principles of Reform. The Honourable Baronet,
in conclusion, thanked the meeting for that demonstra-
tion which, at the cloie of an arduous session, showed
his conduct met with their approbation, and he hoped
was an earnest that when he again appealed to
them for their suffrages, they would send him back to
Parliament.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HOWARTH then proposed the health of the other
Member, Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, upon whose con-
sistent career as a Reformer, he passed a high eulogium.
The philanthropic and disinterested efforts he had made
in behalf of the oppressed and suffering people of Poland

Sir JOSHUA WILIIISLEY returncd thanks in a length-
ened speech, in which he argued for the four points in-
chided in Mr. Hume's motion, and especially enforced
the necessity for an equal apportionment of Members to
the population.

S)ltie other toasts having been given, the company
broke up. The proceedings were enlivened by some ex-
llent singing by Messrs. Dowson, Atkinson, and G.
Hamblin. Mr. Higgs most efficiently discharged the
duties of toastmaster; and the dinner was served up in
the excellent and well-known style of Mr. Rouse.

THE LATE CASES OF POISONING AT BRISTOL.
BRISTOL, JUNE 28.—The inquest upon the body of the
late Mrs. Maria Hill was resumed this day at the Bunch
of Grapes Tavern, Milk-street. Evidence was adduced
to show that the deceased man bad effected a policy for
2,999 L, to be paid by the National Fund Association to
the survivor of himself and wife. It was dated 15th
June, 1847, and the yearly premium was 1171. It was
also proved that at the latter end of July he borrowed
150/. on mortgage of two houses, stating that he
wantedpro-
perty, it to insure his wile's life; and also that on the last day
in August he borrowed 2001. on mortgage ofother
stating that he required it to effect a policy of
insurance on his wife's life. This being the last witness,
the Coroner summed up at great length, mad the jury,
after being absent some time, returned a verdict of
wilful murder against the husband.
D SAM FROM FIGHTING.—On Friday, Joseph
Sherlock was committed from Birkenhead for trial at
the next assizes, for having killed a man named Thomas
Evans, in a fight last week at Greasby. S. Pownall, W.
Minshull, arid W. Sherlock, were at the same time com-
mitted fur aiding and abetting in the offence. The parties
were committed by the coroner.
AMATEUR THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES. -- Mr.
Charles Dickens and his distinguished colleagues per-
formed a second time in the theatre at Birmingham, on
Tuesday night. The pieces selected were the Merry
Wires of Windsor; Love, Law, and Physic, and Two
o'Clock in the Morning. The house was immensely
crowded, and the performers acquitted themselves very
creditably, especially Mr. Dickens and Mr. Mark Lemon,
who were rapturously applauded.
IMPORTATION OF HORSES.—The steam-ship Ant-
werpen, from Antwerp, has brought twenty very supe-
rior horses, which are consigned to Mr. Dixon, of the
repository, Barbican. These horses are not the private
property of persons returning home from the continent,
but regular consignments, in the way of merchandise,
from the continental state. They are to be told by
auction, by Mr. Dixon, on Friday next.

N
„Etptid ever reflect lustre on his name. But it was not ----'!<7•-
-fipatehis previous exertions that the claim of the Noble
Lord now rested. They had now had a year's experi-
ence of his conduct as the representative of that bo-
rough, and he was satisfied that it had given the utmost
satisfaction to all connected with the borough.--
(Loud cheers.) He was certain that when,he
presented himself for their suffrages, he would? b
4svi
lrieh ts
back to it as a genuine Reformer and a zealouiad --'
the people.
The toast was responded to with great enthusiasM.
The Noble LORD, in returning thanks, said itj was
impossible for him to; express in a manner satisfactory
to himself his thanks for the manner in which so
numerous and influential a portion of the electora
of the great borough he had the honour to
represent had received the toast. To be received
in that manner was an honour of which any man
might well be proud. With:respect to his Hon. Colleague,
since he had the honour of being connected with him there had been no such thing as a spirit of rivalry be-
tween them.—(Hear, hear.) They had worked cordially
together, each taking his share of the business, without
thinking who should be first, who should be last, or who
should receive the most honour or the most thanks, their
mutual and sole object being to discharge faithfully the
duties of the Liberal representatives of that great and
Liberal borough,—(Cheers.) He understood that an
intention existed to have made that demonstration
sooner. If it had been so, it would have been a demon-
stration of triumph over Tory principles. He should
have been happy to have joined in it, but it having been
deferred till nearly the end of the session, it was now
not merely a triumph over the opposite principles—
it was something more—it was proof that his
conduct had been satisfactory; that his princi-
ples were their principles; and that the course
he had pursued was that which they,believed with him
was conducive to their interests, and to the in-
terests of the country at large.—(Cheers.) But besides
this, that meeting, attended as it was by hundreds of
electors, would be a demonstration to the country, a
lesson to the Government. It would show to the Minis-
try what were the feelings, wishes, wants, and demands
of that great constituency, and he hoped would go far
to withdraw that film from the eyes of the Ministers,
which prevented them from seeing that the country de-
manded and insisted upon having further reforms.—
(Vehement and prolonged cheering.) They well knew
.the course that had been pursued by the Members for
Marylebone, for his Hon. Friend had never, and him-
self' had never given a contrary vote to those principles
—(Hear, hear)—and seeing that, and also that their
conduct was approved of by that great borough, the Mi-
nisters could not help drawing the conclusion, that _Ma-
rylebone was in favour of those great reforms to which
he had alluded.—(Cheers.) He believed that that
was all that was necessary to induce ,the Ministers to
adopt a right course. He would take that opportunity
of stating, that ardent as he was in the cause of reform,
and as he would show by his vote in the coarse of a few
days, he could not concur in the unmeasured abuse which
had been showered upon the head of the Government,
Lord J. Russell.---(Hisses and cheers.) He asked them
to hear him to an end. In a country like this the Mi-
nister who had to consider any great organic measures
of reform should be thoroughly satisfied that the people
were in favour of them.—(Hear, hear.) He said, there-
fore, let there be dinners like that, and meetings in favour
of reform and then Lord John Russell would have no
pretence for refusing to concede what was asked, and he
believed would be ready to do so.—(Cheers and dissent.)
He rejoiced that his Hon. Friend Mr. Hume had brought
forward his motioc, for though they might not on this
occnsion secure a majority, yet, like all great causes it
would grow, and if only manfully supported it would
ultimately triumph. He had told them that they
would find him a genuine Reformer. He was in favour
of the reduction of expenditure, the equalisation of
taxation, and the levying of the finances in a more just
He had also promised that he would defend
the liberties of the people, and their local institutions.
He asked them now, after having served them for a year,
if he had not kept his word.—(Loud cheers.) He
thanked them for that response, though he could have
expected no other. He could assure them that on all
occasions they would find hizia ready g
serve them to the best of his ability, a and willing
so lon as to
he
possessed the approval of his own conscience ang d their
support be should not care whether he was in a majority
or a minority, or whether he met with the smiles 'or the
frowns of a Government.—(Great applause.)
Mr. 11. C. WILSON, in a brief speech, then proposed
" the Free and Independent Electors of:the Borough of
Marylebone."
Mr. B. H. SMART gave the several Members of the
House of Commons who had honoured them with their
attendance on that occasion.
Mr. G. Tlioatrsost, M.P. (who was received with loud
cheers), returned thanks. lie and the Hon. Gentleman
the Member for Bodmin had come there, believing that
they would find men who sympathised with them in their
desires for real and substantial social progress, apart
altOtther from names or parties.—(Hear, hear.) There
never was a time when it was more necessary to carry
measures of a practical, intelligible, and straightforward
character than the present, and when it was more impe-
rative upon Members of the Legislature to be explicit in
their declarations as to principles Red objects. Appre-
hensions had been entertained lest, in this country, men
of extreme opinions might act, as unhappily they bad
done elsewhere, and though there might not be any in
that-room who held the opinion, it was held in other
quarters, that the strong arm of power should be em-
ployed to be put down opinion. But there were two
kinds of Conservatism, one was the exercise of brute
lorce in a state of society in ehich men were not en-
lightened, the other was timely and temperate conces-
sion to the demands of an enlightened, temperate, and
loyal people, who suffered patiently the evils for
which they calmly asked a remedy. The last he
believed was the Conservatism required in this country;
which true Conservatism consisted in yielding to the
progressive intelligence of the people those rights which
they were prepared to exercise wisely and for the benefit
of the country.—(Cheers.) He believed that an Hon.
Friend near him (Sir J. Walinsley) was the depository
of informaticn from all parts of the country, which
unquestionably showed that the country was in fa-
vour of progressive reform, not only in our political but
in our social and fiscal arrangements.--(Cheers.) The
Han. Gentleman having at some length described the
objects and policy of the Reform party, sat down amidst
prolonged applause.
Mr. WYLD, M.P., said he had attended that meeting
as a constituent and supporter of the two Hon. Members
of the borough of Marylebone, and he was proud to give
his testimony, from personal observation, as to the un-
wearied attention both of them gave to the duties of
their position. He regretted that the time of the House
was wasted in factious disputes about the production or
non-production of blue-books, at a time when it was im-
peratively required that oar toiling millions should be
educated and enfranchised, and as part of the means by
which these two great objects might be obtained, he was
proud that Marylebone sent a Hall and a Stuart to the
liouse of Commons.—(Cheers.)
Lord D. STUART then proposed the health of the
Chairman. He believed that there was in the House
of Commons no better friend to liberty, no man more
zealous in the discharge of his duties, more independent.
or more liberal, nor any gentleman who had acquired
more readily the respect and esteem of his colleagues.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS, M.P., in returning thanks, said
the handsome manner in which the Noble Lord had
stated the way in which he was received in the House of
Commons was sufficient to convince them that no man
in this country, however humble his position, or limited
his capacities, was without the pale of the constitution of
England.—(Cheers.) For himself, he had not sought a
seat in that House, but as long as he had a seat in it, he
would vote without reference to party interests, or self-
interests. While he was there he should ever remember
that he was one of the trading classes of this
country, and while he should never, in conse-
quence of his elevation, look down upon those classes, he
would at the same time, never permit the aristocracy to
look down upon hirn.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Williams
concluded by proposing the health of Sir Joshua Walms-
ley, the honorary secretary to the new Reform move-
ment, of which he might, in passing, say that he and hie
friend Mr. G. Thompson, wrote down the first forty
names, and submitted them to Mr. Hume. The labour
which that Hon. Gentleman underwent in the discharge
of his duties as secretary were such as could but be con-
ceived except by those who were personally cognizant
of them.
