CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.

A party of from fifteen to eighteen hundred dined
at the Crystal Palace yesterday afternoon, in cele-
bration (1 the passing of the Reform Bill of la:1
vs-ion. The dinner had been organised by the
" London and Westminster Working-Men's Con-
stitutional Association," but only a small number
of those present really belonged to the class which
the association has been formed to represent. The
majority were apparently tradesmen and profes-
sional men:

The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of her Majesty
the Queen," which was very enthusiastically drunk.
The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter
which had been received from Mr. Disraeli, and was
addressed to the Chairman of the Association :

" Sir—l regret that.l cannot dine with the Lon-
don and Westminster working men to-day. I should
have been honoured and gratified by being their
guest, but it is impossible. I approve of the pur-
pose of their association, and of the means by which
they are effecting it. None are so interested in
maintaining the institutions of the country as the
working classes. The rich and the powerful will
not find much difficulty., under any circumstances,
in maintaining their rights; but the privileges of
the people can only be secured by national institu-
tions. There is also another reason why lam glad
to see among the working classes an organisation in
favour of the laws and constitution of the country.
There are some symptoms of a lawless spirit among
us at this moment which the light-headed may be
inclined to admire as proofs of the spirit of freedom.
Nothing can be more fallacious. Their tendency is
hostile to freedom, and their consequences must be
detrimental to our common rights: In old days it
was our pride that the constable's staff had more
authority in this realm than the sabres and muskets
of the police of the continent. It will be bad for us
all if that constitutional conviction ceases to influence
this country. It was a homage to law, which is the
foundation of freedom. He who wars against order
wars against liberty.—l remain, yours truly,
" B. DISRAELI."
When the Chairman had finished reading, some
one in the body of the hall called for three cheers
for Mr. Disraeli, a request which was very heartily
responded to.
The CHAIRMAN also read a letter from Lord
Stanley, in which his lordship said that he should
have been happy to have been present, but that
official duties required his presence at Windsor.
Three cheers were called and given for the
Foreign Minister.
The " Health of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and the other mem-
bersm
ro the
HANDS
sypa Family,"
proposed
oposedthehtaovaisntg beenof drunk,
Theech u
rch
and State," which was followed by that of " The
Army, Navy, and Volunteers," given by Mr.
ELLIOTT in a very long speech.
Colonel HOGG responded for the Army, and in
the course of his remarks affirmed that those who
entered the ranks could rise to wear epaulettes,
and that there was not that difficulty in doing so
which some parties had represented.
Admiral ELLIOT spoke on behalf of the Royal
Navy and the Mercantile Marine.
Captain HUGHES thanked the company on the
part of the Volunteers.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed what he termed
the toast of the evening, " The Health of Conserva-
tive Working Men." In so doing be referred at
some length to the question of Reform during the
past few years, and to the conduct of the Con-
servative and Liberal party respecting it. It was
to the working men of England that in future they
must look for the happiness and prosperity of the
country. Ile looked forward with confidence to
the result, and cordially asked them to drink the
toast which he had named.
It was drunk with loud cheers.

cant in its magnitude, in the composition of its
various elements, in the place in which it was held,
in the objects wh:ch it had in view. (Cheers ) This
was the place in which the Reform baimuet of Mr.
Potter tool: place. (Much laughter.) It was thy
place in which the I:efor m banquet of Mr. Beaks
did not take plac!,. . (Renewed laughter.) No doubt
they thought, after the sentiments which were ex-
pressed and thesentiments which were not exi russet],
that this temple, which was d‘xlicated to the innocent
n.creat ion of the worki nn. classes, leo 'tired a purifica-
tion. (Laughter.) Previt. us spe,:kers had suilicient`y
demons'rated the untruthfulness of the aFsertion
which used to be made that they could not find, accord-
ing to the euphonious phrase, such an animal as a
Conservative working man. (" Oh," and laughter.)
Well, let. Manchester, Edinburgh,York, Birmingham,
Bristol—let all the great towns in the kingdom—
let this magnificent assembly reply to the ridicu-
lous assertion. (Cheers.) It was said, " How
can it be that working men should be Conserva-
tives ?" Why, of all the classes in the kingdom it
was that of the working man who required the
blessings of the constitution. Was it not so ?
(Cheers.) The working class, more than any other,
required equality before the law, security for life
and property, peace and order at home, immunity
from foreign aggression, safety for our wide spread
commerce, and the protection of their own industry.
If the working classes enjoyed all this, with due
security for the enjoyment of religious consolation,
was it a matter of wonder and astonishment that
the working men of England should prefer these
hallowed institutions ? (Loud cheers.) Referring
to the Reform League (as his lordship was under-
stood) he said that in their aspiring moments they
bad sought counsel of some juvenile Italian revolu-
tionists, and the eloquence of some Irish chieftain of
some expiring Celtic tribe. (Loud laughter.) He
thought that it was undoubted that Conservatism
was largely cherished by the working classes. They
had good reason to support the institutions of their
country, and the Conservative Government had
right and reason on their side when they passed a
Conservative Reform Act. (Loud cheers.) There
were some who said they had no right to rejoice in
the passing of an act which was nothing more than
a base act of surrender. There were others who
said that they had no right to rejoice about a mea-
sure which fell so far short of the just require-
ments. He took it that this latter was the excuse
of those who endeavoured to dine there, but who
failed to do so. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He
would ask that great assembly what the Conserva-
tive Bill of 1867 had surrendered? Was it the
connection between Church and State? (Cries of
No, no.) Was it any of the prerogatives of the
Crown ? (No, no.) Never, he believed, had the
prerogatives of the Crown been in less danger than
at this moment. Was it any one of the rights and
privileges of the House of Lords? (No, no.) There
was nothing last year to tell the Lords that the
time had come that they must put their house in
order. The House of Lords discussed the matter
free and unfettered, and they left their mark upon
it. Was it any of the Conservative elements of
the constitution as affecting the House of COED.
mons ? No. The Whigs had had opportunities of
dealing with the measure, but they had not properly,
done so. The £lO borough franchise was not sur-
rendered by them (the Conservatives), who never
professed to he its friends, but by those who did.
Under the circumstances in which the bill had been
passed, he considered that the Conservative working
men bad a right to celebrate it. The. Redistribution
Bill was also Conservative, and particularly in the
extension of the smaller boroughs. Working men,
whether Conservative or not, should think well of
that part of the bill. It was very important that
they should retain them. Ile did not believe that
the working men of the large towns were so selfish
that in order to increase their political power they
would disfranchise the working men of the small
boroughs. (Hear, hear.) He was amused at one
of the arguments which was brought forward against
the Government. A great man, the greatest they
had in opposition to them—he meant Mr. Gladstone
(hisses, and cries of" Order") —actually pretended
as a reason against passing the measure that he had
carefully analysed the list of voters in the small
boroughs, and had discovered that in the borough
3f Thetford certain agricultural labourers—or, as he
should prefer to call them, peasants—claimed the
right of voting. Ile said there that night that no
man need be ashamed of the electoral fellowship of
peasants. (Cheers.) The future had been painted
in the gloomiest and darkest colours by the hostile
party, not only in the Quarterly, but in another
quarter—that the workmen were their masters, and
that they were uneducated. He denied both the
assertions. The last census showed that England,
of the European powers, was only second to Prussia
in the matter of primary education, and he hoped
that at the next census it would be at the head.
(Cheers.) Education had always engaged the ear-
nest attention of the Conservative party, both while
they were iu and out of office. In conclusion, his
lordship took a hopeful view of the Conservative
party, and resumed his seat amidst considerable
applause.
Several other toasts were proposed, including
" The House of Lords," given by Mr. Sampson
Lloyd ; " The House of Commons," for which Mr.
Mowbray responded ; " Prosperity to the London
and Westminster Working Men's Constitutional
Association," was most cordially drunk, as was
also " The Health of the Ladies."

A Mr. HAMILTON, of Rotherhithe, was called
upon to acknowledge it. lie rose at the end of
the cross-table, and could only be seen by a few
of the guests. There were loud cries for him to
come forward. At first he refused to do so, but
at the solicitation of the chairman and those
sitting with him he consented, and went to the
front. After regarding the audience in silence
for some time, he was requested to " go on," which
he ultimately did. As far as could be gathered from
an almost incomprehensible speech, he said that he
was a working man, and was greatly in love with
the British constitution. He had been working as
a labourer until twelve o'clock that day, and had
worked all his life. He had never known anything
but bard work. He hadn't even time to go to
school except on the Sunday. He was then pro-
ceeding to talk about " dog Latin," and instituting
a comparison between Thomas Carlyle and the
Philosopher of Westminster, when his Conservative
friends manifested such signs of impatience that
one of the officials stepped forward and requested
him to cease speaking. Mr. Hamilton declined to
do so, and, placing his hind upon his heart, went on
to say something about the worst of lies. Two
gentlemen wearing rosettes then approached, and
insisted upon his. retiring. The speaker appeared
to be very• indignant, and protested; but at this
point the Courtois Brass Band Union, which was
stationed in the orchestra, commenced playing, and
Mr. Hamilton, finding that he could not successfully
contend against the united opposition, at last went
back to his seat, amidst great laughter,
Ho was followed by Mr. PITMAN, of Greenwich,
Who described himself as a workman, both physi-
cally and mentally. lle apologised for the failure
of the former speaker, who, he said, was a very
clever kin, Mid unit wanted good lungs, a qualifi-
cation in which Mr. Vitttiftti himself was far from
wanting. Referring to Messrs. BealeS and Brad-
laugh, he sytted that they could not get the respect-
able Wfiricitig bite es to join them. What bad
Liberalism ever done for theni (neat, of " No-
thing.") Why, it had left them in starvaiim
Compare the Liberals with the Conservatives. The
latter gait theft a cheap loaf, cheap beef, and money
to pay for it. (Hear, hear.) The Liberals had un-
settled everything and settled nothing. Ile was
more Conservative to-night than ever he had been.
Ile leted his country ; he loved her institutions ;
he had lived well tinder them, and his father before
him ; never mind the grandfathers who had fought
for us. We lived comfortable, and he was perfectly
satisfied. (Cheers.) The London and Westmin-
Stet Working Men's Constitutional Association de-
timed great praise. (Cries of " Smith for ever.")
Conservative working men didn't like Fenians.
(Hear, hear.) They were not neon who would try
to upset the constitution.
Mr. 13eooKs, who said that be was a working
than from the East-end of London, invited the com-
pany to drink "The Health of her Majesty's Minis-
tern." The names of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli
were received with loud cheers.
Lord J. MANNERS, who upon ri3ing was enthu-
siastically received, spoke at some length upon
points connected with the history of the Reform Bill.
Mr. Brooks had referred to certain movements on
the part of the working classes. He remembered
about this time last year that he bad the honour of
presiding over a great assembly of working • men in
the Agricultural Hall, Islington, when they closed a
most interesting and successful working men's exhi-
bition. The next day the Radical press, in comment-
ing upon the proceedings, slid that it was all very
well for Tory gentlemen to go amongst the working
classes, to express the admiration they had for and
the confidence they felt in them ; but look at their
political conduct, and see whether it expressed their
confidence by their acts. (Hear, hear.) Well, what-
ever might be said by a hostile press to-Morrow, he
did not think that it would be said that the Tory
, Government by their acts had shown any want of
confidence in working men. (Loud cheers.) This,
indeed, was a significant meeting. It was signift-

TRAINING HORSES FOR THE CIRCUS.—If any of
our readers want to teach a horse the common trick of
picking up a handkerchief, let them proceed as follows: -
Spread on the sawdust a white cloth containing a liberal
supply of oats ; lead the animal round the ring and let him
take some of the corn. This is lesson No. 1; its object
being to fix in the horse's mind a connection between the
sloth and the oats. The march round tho circle being once
or twice repented, he stops at the handkerchief as a matter
of course. B:e dint of practice, say in a couple of weeks,
ho will leaf: to stop as readily in a trot or a gallop as in a
Walk. After a time the handkerchief must be doubled over
and tied in It }amt.; the animal shakes it to get at the grain,
but not succeeding, lifts it from the ground, which is just
the thing wanted. When the horse has don' this a few
times, and finds that though he can shake nothing 9ut he
Will reseive a handful of oats as a reward, he may be trusted
to perform In public. The last step of all, the persuading
the horsd,to carry the handkerchief to his owner, is easily
done. Of his own accord ho will hold the cloth till it is
taken from his mouth, and there will be little difficulty
in coaxing him to walk a few paces when ho knows that
he will get a handful of oats or a carrot for his obedience.
A horse may be tatigh.t to dance thus :—Fasten the an i-
mal with two side-reins between the posts supporting the
leaping bar. Take a long whip and, as the music plays,
gently touch him with it, using the "jik, jik," of the
groom as you go on. The horse being tied to the posts can
move neither backwards nor for Wards, but he will be in-
duced to lift his legs, and thereby gains the rudimentary
movement of his leseonN After a while the teacher must
mount on his back ; the torso still being fastened by the
side-reins. Jua when he is to raise his leg a gentle pull
must he given to the rein at the proper side, to help the
movement. In course of time the reins must be loosened,
and the horse, if tolerably ready, will soon learn to mark
time, quick or slow, in answer merely to a slight jerk of
the bridle. The rider must then dismount, and coming
before the horse, teach him to dance or keep time with a
wave of the hand, or by a pat on the foot which he is wanted
to lift.—Once a Week.
A BLANK CIIECK.—The Irish People publishes a
letter from the soi-disant "Colonel Kelly." It is dated
" —, —, Sept. 21," and he says : —" 1 nave arrived here
safely, and here -I intend to remain." This is definite and
decisive. He also says, "You will learn through what
wo had to do," and he adds :—To communicate with me
he will have —." So that the letter is written with a
good deal of dash. Now, then, policemen, wake up; rush
off to "—, —," and capture your prey. By line and
rule acts many a policeman. It may be objected that the
locality is rather indefinite, but it is quite as reliable as
many another "clue" of which the police always boast.
Admitting, howl ever, that there is some little mystery about
it, it is only a nut to crack. Let the police crack the nut
and they will find thecolonel.—Banter.
