SONG.

the loud whirlwind that ruffled the deep,
The sky if no longer dark tempests deform ,•
When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep ?
No—Here's to the Pilot that weather'd the storih I
At the footstool of Power let; Flattery fawn;
Let Faction her idols extol to the skies ;
To Virtue, in humble retirement withdrawn,
Unblani'd may the accents of Gratitude rise.
And shall not hh Menfry to Britain be dear,
Whose example with envy all Nations behold—
A Statesman, unbiass'd by int'rest or fear,
By pow'r uncorrupted, untainted by gold
Who, when Terror and Doubt through the universe reign'd,
While Rapine and Treason their standards unfurl'd,
The heart and the hopes of his country maintain'd,
And one kingdom preserv'd 'midst the wreck of the world.

Unheeding, unthankful we bask in the blaze,
While the beams of the Sun in full majesty shine,
When he sinks into twilight, with fondness we gaze,
And mark the mild lustre that gilds his decline.

So, Pit T,,when the course of thy►grcatness is o'er,
Thy talents, thy virtues, we fondly recall ;
Now justly we prize thee, when lost we deplore;
Admied in thy zenith, but lov'd in thy fall !

O take, then—for dangerS by wisdom repell'd,
For evils, by courage and constancy briv'd—
O ! take, for a Throne by thy counsels upheld,
The thanks of a People thy firmness has sav'd

And 0 ! if again the rude tvliirlwind should rise,
The dawning of Peace should fresh darkness detbrm ;
The regrets of the good, and the tears of the wise,
Shall turn to the Pilot that weather'd the storm I

To attempt to describe all,the testimonies of the
zealous attachment of the, company to the illustrious
Cause of the Meeting, wotildbe to exhaust language
without conveying an itfea of thcir'effeets. The
loudest acclamations accompanied every allusion to
Mr. Prrr, and so highly delighted were the hearers
with the above song, that it was in the course of
the evening repeated, as well as the toasts which
preceded it.

Sir ROBERT PEEL rose, and addressing the Com-
pany, proposed the health of the Noble Chairman,
which was drank with great applause, and his Lord-
ship, in very handsome terms, returned his acknow-
ledgments.
The following Toasts succeeded :
" The Memory of Earl Howa, and the Heroes of the Ist
of June, 1794."
‘, Earl ST. VINCENT, and the Heroes of Feb. 1.4, 1797.".

" Viscount NELSON, and the Heroes of the Nile and
Copenhagen."
" The Memory of Sir RALPH Aaikeßomay—and Lord
H T c sI NSO N, and the Arrny of. Egypt"
" The Throne—The Virtue that fills it, and the Councils
that saved it."

This toast was receiyed with particular marks of
approbation and applause.
" The Landed Interest of the United, Kingdom." • ' -
•{ The Master, Wardens, and Court of Assistant,s of Mer-
chant Ta.dors' Comp-any, and thanks to them for the use of

course of the evening, by the Professional Gentle..

A little after ten o'clock the Noble Chaiiman
left the Chair amidst the thanks and plaudits of the
Company, for the very able and satisfactory man.
ner in which he had filled it. A large proportion
of the Company went away at the same time. The
Marquis of WORCESTER took.thebair after Lord
ENC CR had quitted supported the spirit
of the Company that retrmined for

time after, with good effeArr.,

Never did we see so riumcous a Company so
well arranged—never in any body of men of what_
ever denomination, did we see such unanimity 01,
