GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, Aug. 27.—Accounts from Scomemunde, of the
25th, say that his Majesty the King had arrived there the day
before at 12 o'clock, after a very quiet voyage from Stettin,
the Ischora steam boat having taken in tow the Russian lug-
ger Oramenbaum, of 10 guns, to make use of it if necessary,
left the road at 10 o'clock. Besides the lugger, there had
arrived at Scomemunde on the 17th and 18th, the following
Russian ships, viz.—Hercules steam-boat of 24 guns, the Na-
varine, Corville, of 20 guns ; the Pallas and the Castor fri-
gates, each of 52 guns ; and the Rodriga schooner of 14 guns,
all which accompanied the Ischora from St. Petersburg.
The Hercules left en the 21st to return to St. Petersburg,
and the others sailed on the 23d, and were to wait out at sea
for the Ischora, to accompany it to Pillau.

BERLIN' Aug. 27.—A report is now become general that
we shall have a visq not only from the Empress of Russia but
also from the Emperor. The Emperor, it is said, will stop
only a fortnight, and then return by a circuitous route to his
capital. The Polish General, Demski, has been here some days,
who, since his taking refuge in the Prussian territory has lived
at Frankfort on the Oder, which was assigned here for his re-
sidence. We hear that this officer, since his coming into the
Prussian dominions, has conducted himself in the most unex-
ceptionable manner, will probably obtain the permission which
he has asked to reside in Berlin.

GOTTENUURGH, AUGUST 22.—The cholera has raged dread-
fully here from the 26th of July to the 21st of August. Out
of a population of 23,000 souls, 1,800 have fallen victims to
it, among whom are many of the higher classes. Of the Jews
only one woman and her son have died. All business has been
suspended ; the few workmen that remained were employed in
removing the dead bodies ; the great mortality among the
poorer classes is ascribed to unwholesome provisions and irre-
gular mode of life. The rain which has so long been wished
for having fallen, the air is purified, and the cholera appears to
abate. No goods hava been shipped, as all the ship owners
and the crews have fled.

GOTTENBURO, Auo. 27.—According to accounts from
Jonkoping two hundred and fifty persons had died and four
hundred patients recovered,. at Uddewalla there have been
sixty-six deaths out of one hundred and sixty-seven patients ;
at Stromstad thirty-three out of one hundred and four ; at
Maeshaur fifteen out of forty : at Kongelf seven out of nine-
teen. The number of deaths here may be reckoned at
2,200, but the disorder is manifestly abating.
STOCKHOLM, Auo. 26.—His Majesty yesterday held an ex-
traordinary Council on measures against the cholera. Un-
happily there is no doubt of its having broken out here, and it
is probable that the capital will be declared infected before the
day is ended. The first known cases were the day before yes-
terday, fifteen in number, ten of the patients were sent to the
hospital, of whom two died on the way, and two after their
arrival.
In the interior of the kingdom the cholera is spreading, and
has appeared at Stromstad, on the Norwegian frontiers. Count
Roun writes from Gottenburg, that the citizens had granted
thirty thousand dollars to the cholera hospitals.
BERLIN, AUGUST 30.—Accounts from Konigsburg an-
nounce the arrival of his Majesty the king on the 26th at
six in the morning, in the road of Pillau, and at half-past nine
at Konigsburgh. Pince Charles and the Princess of Lugnetz
arrived with his Majesty in the steam boat, and on the same
day his Majesty's son, Prince William and his consort, by land.
Though his Majesty had expressly declined all formal recep-
tion, the loyal affection of the people could not be hindered
from manifesting itself. As soon as it was positively known
by what road his Majesty:would come, a countless multitude of
all ranks and ages. hastened before day break to meet his Ma-

The son of the Marquis d'Aligre, the greatest land-
owner in France, is about to marry Mdlle. Talhouet, grand-
daughter of Count Roy, formerly Minister of the Finances,
who is also considered one of the wealthiest men in the
kingdom.

Last evening a meeting of the plasterers (union-
ists) took place at the Rotunda, Blackfriar's-road, for the
purpose of discussing their private affairs and appointing dele-
gates to carry their views into effect. The meeting was but
thinly attended, and some time elapsed before they could find
a Chairman. All reporters were excluded; we cannot, there-
fore, give an outline of their proceedings ; but we understood
a general meeting of the trades in the metropolis was in con-
templation, and would shortly take place, when their feelings
and situation under existing circumstances will be laid before
the public.

bitants of this town have been again disappointed. A report

free. Unfortunately, this has proved to be a mistake, and
our situation is not changed.—Brussels Papers, Sept. 4.
BOHEMIA, Alio. 18.—The great drought of this summer
has caused an almost total failure of the harvest in a great part
of Bohemia and Moravia. The scarcity of forage is such that
a large proportion of the live stock can hardly be supported
through the winter. In several places the inhabitants are dry-
ing leaves of trees to use them, in case of neek-for forage,
instead of hay. On the contrary, the vintage promises to be
most abundant, and of excellent quality.
In Saxony the harvest is almost everywhere good. The nu-
merous thunder-storms in June and July, in which
,the number
of persons killed by lightning was remarkably large, in corn-
parison with other years, had given the earth sufficient mois-
ture.—Frankfort.Papers, Aug. 31.

GREAT MEETING OF THE SOUTH LANCA•
SHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The annual dinner of this Society took place on Thursday
last at Newton (one of the boroughs disfranchised under the
Reform Bill), situate on the line of the Liverpool and Man-
chester railway, about 18 miles from each town.
The preparations for the splendid file, which have been in
activity for several weeks past, have excited more intense in-
terest throughout than any congratulatory dinner that we re-
collect ever to have witnessed. A splendid (and in appear-
-.twee) substantial pavilion was erected on the Bowling-green,
immediately at the back of the Legh Arms Hotel, for the ac-
commodation of the company. In appearance the fabric might
be amptly compared to a fine specimen of Eastern architec-
ture, combined with its attendant magnificence. Being within
sixty yards of the Liverpool and Manchester rail-road, the
building was in sight of the passengers travelling between the
two towns, and the bustle necessary in preparing the feast, to-
gether with the splendour of the whole, must have given the
passenger an idea of the festivities about to take place. The
building, in the form of an oblong quadrangle, constructed to
accommodate comfortably the 700 gentlemen who sat down to
dinner, was solidly planked, boxed, and boarded nine feet high,
at the sides, and above the boards were windows six feet six
inches in height, which rendered the sides 15 feet six inches.
The windows extended the length and breadth of the whole
building, intersected by slight partitions. They were formed
of oiled calico, crossed and corded inside and out, as well for
the purpose of withstanding the pelting of the pitiless storm,
should it have crept in to disturb the harmony of the meetiug,
as to give them the appearance of glass panes. There were
two tops to the building, by practical men, called projecting
ventilating roofs, made of oil case, and such was their dura-
bility, that, we understand, although the rain fell in torrents
the previous day, the interior of the building remained per-
fectly dry. The second roof was raised about thirty feet above,
and supported by two union jacks. There were twenty-four
windows at each side, and fourteen at the two ends, the four
windows at the sides were hinged, so as to allow a free current
of air. The entrances were six in number. The little town
of Newton from an early hour of the day presented the ap-
pearanct of great gaity and splendour, from the great influx of
country people, who, by the permission of the Committee, were
allowed to inspect the Pavilion, which, in the interior, was
fitted up with gorgeous splendour, which might have been ex-
pected, judging from the neatness of thebuilding outside. The
tables for the members were seven in number, together with
one which crossed the whole at the extreme end, where the
Chairman's seat was erected, and which was also appropriated
for the CoMmittee and visiters of distinction. The tables were
divided into sections, the centre ones were exclusively devoted
for the accommodation of the members from Liverpool and
Manchester, and the others for the gentlemen from Bolton,
Wigan, Warrington, Rochdale, Ormskirk, Worsley, South-
port, Leigh, Tyldesley, &c. The arrangement for the gentle-
men of each town to sit together rendered it more pleasant,
the parties being more familiar with each other. The names
of the district from which they came were printed on hand-
some cut cards. On each side of the Chair was elevated a
brilliant star of variegated lamps, and between them, imme-
diately over the Chairman's head, a beautifully-painted King's
arms was exhibited, and over this a splendid colossal banner,
with a union jack painted at the corner. It bore, in gold
letters, the following inscription :—" The Conservatives of
Truth, Lancashire ;" motto, " May their principles and their
number grow with their growth and strengthen with their
strength." Between the letters was entwined a small King's
arms, encircled in the rose, the shamrock, and the thistle,
bearing the Conservative's motto of " King and Constitution
in Church and State." At the other end of the Pavilion
above the Vice-Chairman a handsome gallery was erected for
the Royal Harmonic Band, led by Mr. Peter Stubbs, .of
Liverpool. The band was dressed in full and appropriate
military costume, and in the course of the evening they played
the most favourite, loyal, and patriotic tunes. Prior to the
dinner they played on the lawn in front of the Hotel. The
recess over the head of the Vice-Chairman was filled by ele-
gantly-dressed females, who appeared to take considerable
interest hi the proceedings of the day. The interior of the
Pavilion was brilliantly illuminated by variegated lamps,
which formed the letters of " W. R.," &c. The drapery
which decorated the whole of the interior of the building was
most tastefully arranged, in pillars and festoons of blue
and white calico. In addition to the illumination lamps,
the Pavilion was lighted up by fourteen elegant chandeliers.
Each train from Manchester and Liverpool, after the first in
morning, brought a succession of visiters. At two o'clock a
very large train from Manchester arrived decorated with flags,
the mail having for its passengers the Earl of Wilton and
Lord Skelmersdale. When the Noble Lords alighted they
were received with loud cheers by the multitudes .collected
round the hotel. By four o'clock most of the company had
arrived, when the scene was quite enlivening ; the beauty of
the scenery of the neighbourhood, the railway carriages pass-
ing to and fro, and the splendour of the building on the
bowling-green rendered the view both romantic and interesting,
and a very fair subject for the study of an artist.
The company took their seats at about half-past four, when
the tables displayed a most sumptuous banquet, principally
provided by the landlord of the Legh Arms Hotel. The Earl
of Wilton took the chair immediately after the guests were
seated. On his right sat the Right Hon. Lord Skelmersdale,
and on his left the Hon. Mr. Lindsay, son of Earl Balcarras.
At the same table we also observed the Hon. W. Wilbraham,
Hon. A. Powis, Sir Harry Mainwarring, Sir Richard Brook,
Bart. ; Sir T. Freemantle, Bart., M. P. ; Sir T. Breaker ;
Hawkes, Esq., M.P. ; Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., M. P.;
Colonel Blackburne; Townley Parker, Esq. ; W. Hulton,
Esq. ; Wm. Grant, Esq. ; Daniel Grant, Esq. ; J. H. Leigh,
Esq. ; Crosse, Esq. ; Rev. C. D. Wray ; Rev. J. Par-
kinson ; Rev. Oswald Sergeant, Fell )ws of the Collegiate
Church, Manchester ; Rev. Thomas Blackburne, Vicar of
Eccles ; Rev. Thomas Lyon ; John Roby, Esq., banker,
Rochdale ; J. Entwistle, of Foxhole, near Rochdale ; Thos.
Tobin, Esq., and Nicholas Robinson, Esq., Aldermen of Li-
verpool ; J. J. Blackburne, jun. ; Rev. C. K. Prescot, Rec-
tor of Stockport ; Major Brooks, and T. Rowson, Esq., of
Prescott, &c.
The dinner (which lasted about an hour) being concluded,
" Non Nobis Domine" was sung by the professional singers.
Behind the chair were placed two trumpeters, in the dress of
the' Yeomen of the Guards.
The CHAIRMAN rose amidst loud cheering, and said that the
first toast he should propose was one which he was sure all
gentlemen present would charge their glasses, and drink a
bumper to the toast, " His Most Gracious Majesty the King"
—( Loud cheers).
Song—" God save the King," with professional chorus, ac-
companied by the whole of the company upstanding. The
words of the anthem, " Confound their politics," and " may
he defend our laws," were received with deafening cheers.
The CHAIRMAN when said he had the honour of rising to
propose a toast, the second on the list, but which he was sure
would be dealt with equal pleasure to the last, he meant the
" Health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," the sup-
porter of the Throne, and the liberal supporter of the chari-
table institutions of our country. The toast was received rnd
drunk amidst loud cheers.
Glee—" Here's a health to all good lasses."
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the " Princess
Victoria, and the ostthaerrobfraßnrcuhnesswojefkt.h,e,_( Royal Family,"
)m ily," which
wasGdlereu—nk,,stHanaidli,ng, amidst loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to propose to
them was " the House of Brunswick, and may they never for-
get the principles which seated them on the throne."
Drunk with three times three, amidst loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN next drank the health of the army and navy
of this country, which he felt extreme pleasure in proposing.—
( Loud Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN bad now the honour to propose to them the
health of a Nobleman who had, during a period of sixty years,
performed the arduous duties of his office in a manner which
entitled him to the best tnanks of his country. He scarcely
need say, he meant the Lord Lieutenant of this county. The
health was drunk with applause.
Glee—" How merrily we live that soldiers be."
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—that it was with feel-
ings of no common interest that he rose to propose the toast
which came next, as he was aware that he then addressed an
assembly not more celebrated for its respectability, its wealth;
and its influence, than for its intelligence and attachment to
every thing that was loyal in the country. The toast he al-
luded to, and one which he had great pleasure in proposing,
was, " Success to the South Lancashire Conservative Asso-
ciation," and he was more gratified in proposing that toast
when he considered the motives which brought them
together • this day.—( Cheers.) The object for which
they had assembled was to celebrate the ascendancy
of those principles which had materially contributed to
raise this country to that proud pre-eminence which she
had attained, and to mark their sense of the chicanery
which was practised even to the present hour, and which pri-
vately and publicly had been directed against the best insti-
tutions—( Cheers.) It was true that by pandering to the
worst passions of mankind—(Cheers)—by delusions the most
gross and remarkable, and by promises out of the power of
mankind to perform—a Parliament had been convened which
had enabled the Government to remove some of the greatest
props of the fabric of our Constitution ,• but it was his sincere
hopes as it was his honest conviction, that by the timely, exer-
tions of its friends and of societies such as this, the country
might, at no distant day, be restored to that wholesome state
in which it had once been the glory of all English hearts to
behold her. That, however, must take time to accomplish,
and their exertions must be strenuous and unremitting, for the
purpose of disseminating by the force of their own example,
that attachment to the existing laws, and the constituted au-
thorities which we had formerly witnessed. They must en-
deavour to show the people the delusion which it had been the
practice to contaminate them with ; they must endeavour to
convince them of the kindly feelings which Conservatives held
towards them, and to show them that, instead of their being
what their enemies would wish them to suppose, their oppres-
sors, were the friends of that rational and practical liberty
v
so fully deserved, and which it was their glory to
ni —(ltehyeCyheers.) It would be needless for him to descant
olehnticht.l numerous attempts which were continually made, under
the specious
pretexts of patriotism, to undermine the Consti-
tution which had once been the envy and wonder of the sur-
rounding nations. But if public acts, which, God knew, were
not wanting, to evince the designs of the present Government,
not sufficient, there still existed a stronger proof, which was the
secession from the Cabinet of those honourable men, who, not-
withstanding feelings of a private and personal nature, not-
withstanding their anxious desire to carry measures which they
considered beneficial to the country, notwithstanding a love of
power 'which might exist to a certain e#eint; and which he
would say was a laudable ambition that should exist in the
breast of every Englishman, they did not hesitate to sacrifice
all these considerations rather than lend themselves to measures
which they considered to be fatal to the existence of_ the best

legislating where the interests of his country were concerned,
and also in upholding its religious institutions from reckless
innovation, and to him was mainly to be attributed, at a time
when innovation was threatened, and which was highly Credit-
able to him, the rousing of the country to a true sense of the
designs of the Government—( Cheers)--and to the danger of
the councils of this great nation being swayed, not by a just,
a clear, a statesman-like consideration of what would make the
country prosperous, the people happy, the aristocracy re-
spected, and the King beloved.---(Loud cheers.) Not of these
considerations were the councils swayed ; but by what would
best suit the interests and forward the designs of an unprin-
cipled Irish demagogue.—( Immense cheering.) It was a
bitter thought that this country, England—the brave and free
England—that had been the cradle of warriors, statesmen,
and philosophers, of men of learning, of genius, and of science
—that this island whose
e Flags had braved a thousand years
The battle and the breeze"—
he said it was a bitter thought that this England should be
made the sacrifice of such councils as these—(loud cheers.)
It was yet, however, his sincere and earnest hope that when
the overflow of irritated feeling which the Reform Bill had
spread broadly through this land should have subsided—if that
Reform Bill, which, whatever mtght have been its merits, had
done more to unsettle the minds of the people—(great ap-
plause) had done more so unhinge society, had done more
to sever those ties of kindly feeling which had existed be-
tween all classes of the community than any measure which
should have been devised—he did hope, he repeated, when
those feelings should have subsided, the current of public
thought and public opinion will return into its former chan-
'ftels, and that England will be " herself again "—(tremen-
dous applause.) It remained for him only to congratu-
late that Society upon the assemblage which at that moment
he saw before him. It remained for him now to add to that
congratulation a request, which he was sure did not require
to be pressed upon them, to drink health and " Success to
the South Lancashire Conservative Association "—(loud ap-
plause.)
Glee—" Come, thou monarch of the vine,"
Lord SKELMERSDALE then rose and was recelyed with loud
cheers. The flattering mariner, his Lordship observed, in
which they had been so kind as to receive him on hi: first
ring would of itself have been almost sufficient to have over-
come him, but he felt confident, when he recollected the toast
he had undertaken to propose—a toast which they would at all
_times receive with the greatest joy and satisfaction, but more
particularly after the very able and constitutional speech which
they had heard from their worthy President—( Cheers)—
whose health it was his intention to propose.—( Cheers.)
There were some of them, particularly the gentlemen whom
he saw around him from Manchester, who, like himself, were
old enough to remember the grandfather of their worthy and
excellent President.—( Cheers.) Few would remember the
part which he took in public life ; but many would recollect,
and with satisfaction and pleasure, that Noble Lord as his
honourable career approached its close.—( Cheers.) The
principles which then belonged to the name of Wilton, he was
happy to say continued to be associated with that name still.
—( Immense cheering.) Those principles were the principles
of loyalty and attachment to the Church and State.—
( Cheers. ) He would not offend the delicacy of his Noble
Friend by descanting on his merits in private life, or the un-
pretending kindness, charity, and benevolence which marked
his character in the neighbourhood in which he resided.—
(Cheers.) It was known to them either personally or by
reputation.—( Cheers.) But there was one thing for which
perhaps they would take his word as an old Tory—
Loud cheers)—who spoke from an experience of nearly
forty years, either in one House of Parliament or the other.
He could assure them that the principles which his Noble
Friend had professed were those which he acted up to in the
fullest sense.—( Loud applause.) He ( Lord Skelmersdale)
hadbeen in a situation to know whether his Noble Friend was
present on any occasion whore his country could call for his
exertions. He knew that be was among the foremost in the
battle, that he always given his firm support to those measures
which he thought were intended for the good of the country,
and his strong disapprobation against those which he thought,
and which he (Lord S. ), and he believed all in that room
thought, were calculated for the injury, if not for the de-
struction of the Constitution.—(Loud cheers.) It would be
fulsome to say more in praise of one who was present ; he
was sure there was no occasion to do so. He was sure their
own hearts would respond to what he said. He begged to
give, with three times three, or as many more threes as they
Piked—(A laugh)—
" The health of their worthy and Noble President, Lord
Wilton."

.• in

This toast was drunk in a bumper with nine times nine, and
with loud and long continued applause. When the enthu-
siasm of the company allowed him to be heard,
Lord WILTort rose to return thanks, Having already ad-
dressed them, and at some length in public light, he felt ex-
treme regret in having to trespass upon their time with refer-
ence to a subject so peculiarly of,Lpersonal and private nature
Applause)—but he should dole justice to the feelings of
his heart, he should do little justice to the kindness of his
friends whom he saw about him, if he did not express to them
the deep sense which he entertained of the favours they had just
shown him—(Cheers.) In early life he had imbibed, from
pure conviction, principles which he felt proud to think that he
held in common with all who then h eard him. —( Much cheering. )
Having thanked them for the manner in which they had re-
ceived him, the Noble Earl said, that before he sat down, he
felt anxious to propose a toast, which exceeded in importance
almost any other, when they considered it -in connexion with
its excellence, and its bearing upon the constitution, with
which it was co-existent. The Noble Earl concluded by pro-
posing " The Established Church of England and Ireland."
Drunk with loud applause.
The Rev. Mr. PARKINSON in an energetic speech returned
thanks.

J. Roily, Esq., of Oldham, in proposing " The House of
Lords, and thanks to them for their unflinching integrity,"
said he could not but look with feelings of exultation and de-
light on the assembly around him. He believed it was either
himself or some other of the speakers at the last meeting, who
expressed a wish and a confident anticipation that no room
would be found large enough for the next meeting. Even so
it had happened. But if his Majesty's Ministers—Heaven
bless them for thus swelling their ranks !—and whose measures
have such a multitudinous tendency to make Conservatives
even in spite of themselves—he would say, if the present
directors, or rather mis-directors, of our state machine con-
tinued their exertions in our good cause, what would be the
result for the next meeting? He should fancy that their tail
would be large enough to occupy the whole length of the rail-
way from Newton to Liverpool (a laugh, and cheers). With
regard to the object of their meeting. Their adversaries
thought they came there merely to eat and drink, and make
speeches, and then go home and think no more of it. No I
He trusted their object was to strengthen themselves for
the great struggle which was evidently approaching; to en-
courage each other ; to review their troops ere the battle ; to
ascertain the feelings and temper of their battalion, and the
extent of their resources. Sure he was, that unless each
carried away with him a full determination to do his duty—
to combat with unflinching firmness the infidel, political, de-
mocratical principles, which, hatched by our present rulers
into life and maturity, were ready to sweep, like a moral pes-
tilence, over the laud—sure he was that their meetings and
labours were useless. Each man could do something to stem
the devastating impulse ; to combat the Whig-Radical mon-
ster, begotten by French malice or English credulity.—
( Hear, and cheers.) He would say each man can do some-
thing to check its progress ; whatsoever he findeth to do, let
him do with all his might.—( Cheers. )We see a great struggle
approaching between the powers of good and of evil, between
light and darkness, between religion and infidelity ; and (said
the speaker) can we now repose, can we now slumber in secu-
rity, having full confidence in those who, unhappily for our land,
have the care of our most gracious Sovereign, and the arm of
the Executive? Have we (continued Mi. Roby) a Chancellor
who will keep the King's conscience unsullied, and his corona-
tion oath rigidly adhered to ; who will prevent any jesuitical in-
terpretation of that oath from being made for the overthrow of
the Protestant Church ?—( Hear, .hear, and cheers.) Will
that high functionary uphold us against all attacks on the
altar ? Will the King's Prime Minister be our bulwark
against the rude assaults and the ravings of a d?rno-
cracy 7—he who has just ridden into office on the shoulders of
traitors, who have openly proclaimed their designs, wallowing
in their filthy profanities in the sty of St. Stephen's—( Hear,
hear, and cheers)—he who has succumbed to the sovereignty
of the people, and bowed to• the bloody tri-colour—( Hear,
hear)—will he protect us from their excesses ? Will our
Exchequer Chancellor, by a figure of speech called honest
Lord Althorp, stem the inroads of popular sovereignty?—he,
the petted of Hume, and the protege of O'Connell ; the
brother of a priest of another creed, and the all but avowed
republican—will lie shield us from their attacks ? Will our
Foreign Secretary uphold the honour of Great Britain in her
foreign alliances ?—he, who courts Mammon, and gives help
to revolution wheresoever she exalteth herself—whose French,
Belgian, Portuguese, and Spanish exploits will brand the
very name of Britain with everlasting infamy;—he whose
continual aim is to prostrate legitimate sovereignty, and to
raise up that of the people—to dgrade thrones, and to place
the kingly prerogative in the power of the meanest of the
rabble. As for the rest, the small fry, "small by degrees, and
beautifully less"—why, their very names are but as a by-word
for ridicule and chicanery. Having no hopes from a Govern-
ment such as this—deserted, betrayed by the very men who
should have been our protectors, we are to sit like Roman
senators, with our garments decently folded, awaiting until
the hordes of barbarians and plunderers shall see fit to exter-
minate us. No ! we will boldly tell our country and our
King, that our liberties are as dear to us as Protestants as.
ever they were. He meant liberty to enjoy our own in peace
and quietness ; and if our rulers choose to maintain the fierce
passions of the multitude against them—to arm their deluded
supporters with the brick-bat and the bludgeon, we will (said
the speaker) we will resist lawfully; and by God's blessing
we will overcome too.—(Hear, hear.) Look at the base bar-
gain they have made with O'Connell, who now boasts that he
is both ministerialist and repealer—( Hear, hear)—and are we
not justified in supposing that, Ireland being basely secured
to his keeping, England may be the next sop to the first
brawling, impudent dert4orrue who has the hardihood to de-
inand it? (The Hon. Gentleman concluded his speech
amidst loud and general cheering.)
Mr. litwroN then rose, .and was received with enthusiastic
cheering. The toast, he proceeded, which had been selected
by the committee for him to propose would require very few
words. It was the health of their late excellent Vice-Pre-
sident, Mr. Entwisle—(Much cheering).—of whom it was only
necessary to say, that he was an honest man, and "an honest
man is the noblest work of Cod."—( Applause.) To him

The PRESIDENT then save (and he felt much pleasure, he
said, in proposing it, from his own intimate connection with
the town of Manchester), " Success to the Manchester and
Salford Association for the Protection of the Church."—
( Great cheering.)
Mr. CROSSLEY, of Manchester, returned thanks in a speech
of great eloquence, and was frequently and loudly cheered in
the delivery of it.
Sir THOMAS BRENKER proposed the health of Lady Wilton,
the amiable and distinguished partner of the:r Noble Chairman,
Lord Wilton.--(Drunk with great applause: )
Lord WILTON returned thanks, and said that he had but that
moment received a note from Lady Wilton hoping that their
party was going on happily.—( Cheers.)
The NOBLE PRESIDENT then rose, and said he was about to
propose to them a toast of the greatest importance and magni-
tude, which he thought there was not one in the room but
would rejoice to drink. There was no toast which he could
propose with greater satisfaction than the health of the Duke
of Wellington—(enthusiastic cheering)--whose military
talents had raised this country to the greatest state of pre-
eminence.—( Cheers.) Having further eulogized the Noble
Duke, who through good report and bad report was ever true
to his principles, and whose consistency. had won him the ad-
miration of friends and enemies, the Noble Earl concluded
by proposing his health, which was drunk with an enthusiasm
never surpassed, and difficult to be equalled.

In cool grot."
The PRESIDENT then proposed the health of the distin-
guished members of the adjoining counties, Sir Thomas Free-
mantle and Mr. Hawkes.—( Applause. )
Sir Thomas Freemantle, Sir Wm. Mainwaring, and Mr.
Hawkes rose ; and Sir Thomas Freemantle, in a speech of
much ability, returned thanks. Mr. Hawkes also returned
thanks.

The remaining toasts, including " the Conservative press,"
for which Mr. Alexander returned thanks, having been given
the Noble President left the chair, and the company, for
whom railway-trains were in waiting to convey them to' their
destinations, separated, highly delighted with the day's' pro-
ceedings.

and a few others was the credit due of having framed the, so-
ciety which he then had the honour of addressing. After the
disastrous stroke which had befallen politics in ..ttouth Lanca-
shire, they endeavoured to form a nucleus, and they succeeded.
't the passing of the Reform Bill, they thought it prudent to
collect a few steady men,. of staunch principles, and ever
since, day aticr day, and year ator year, those principles were
spreading with a si-Ahle, stern, atm unrelenting fixedness of
purpose.—( Cheers.) No body of men had the interest of
the country more warmly at heart than the Lords ; but that
foul-mouthed traitor, O'Connell, had dared to call them "ban..
ditti. "—( Strong disapprobation.) Look, he would say, at their
Noble President. What !—Banditti ! Why, 700 men in that room
were ready to become his followers—(Cheering)--the patron,
as he was, of every noble charity. A weak and imbecile
Government might allow the stiletto-libeller to speak: thus,
but the South-Lancashire men knew how to estimate it. ,Hav-
ing then referred to Lord Skelmersdale as one of those noble-
men who had been called " banditti," and to the son of Lord
Lindsay, whose noble father had been thus stigmatized, and
who, he hoped, would reoember it, Mr. Hulton referred
the Church and said, speaking from history, that, in the great
rebellion the first effort against the Church was a bill brought
in to remove the Bishops. And, mark ! continued Mr. Hul-
ton, Sir Edward Deering said it was "to relieve the Bishops
from temporal care." They had secret and (-;cen foes to deal
with.—( Hear, hear.) He remembered a man, who now re-
presented them in Parliament, declaring that he would never-
interfere with the Church, and by that declaration he got
1.000 votes, which he never would get again.--( Hear, hear.)
He did not openly attack the Church ; but did he not, he
would ask, attack the University ?—( Hear, hear.) His
Noble Friend near him had, though, in that attack, assisted
in throwing the mantle of the Chancellor of the University
over the Church.—( Applause.) Could they forget the
names of Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley—or the soi/
where Latimer stretched out his hands in the flames.
Ridley's ghost—he thought—was troubling some of 'them
(Laughter.) Ridley, who was educated at Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, was, in his ghost, stepping between Lord Grey and the
Durhamites.—( Much laughter.) Another point on which he
(Mr. Hulton) felt deeply anxious, was the unfortunate church
of Ireland—.( Hear, hear)--and it was because Ireland was re-
mote from them, he would tell them, because it was far away
from their view, that it was selected to be attacked in the dark
—( Hear, hear)—but he hoped that by the power of steam,
they would rapidly transmit to the shores of Ireland an account
of the great Conservative Meeting of that day, and encourage
them to resolve on no surrender. He entreated all to watch.
for the events of that day were most important; and to guard,
and show that it was not the name or title, but the character,
of the individual that they valued.—( Applause.) Mr. Ent-
wisle was one of those who had proved true to the principles
which he (Mr. Hulton) had had the honour of advocating, and
he should conclude with the pleasure of drinking his health.
_(111110:i applause.)
Mr. ENTwIsLE briefly returned thanks.
The Noble PRESIDENT then proposed, " Success to Con-
servative Principles, and may the rest of England imitate.
Liverpool in zeal for their diffusion."—( Great cheering.)
Mr. Alderman Roams" High Constable of Liverpool,
returned thanks.
