sent, but at the feelings which dictated it.—( Hear, hear, and
cheers.)
Mr. ANDERSON said he would propose the health of a Noble
Lord, who did not at present form part of the Government, but
who must ultimately become so. His enemies had libelled him
in every possible manner, but he must ultimately triumph over
every one of his enemies, and resume that station to which he
was entitled as an ardent friend of liberty, and of the people.
—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He concluded by proposing the
health of Lord Brougham, and the cause of education.—(Tre-
mendous cheers.)

Song from Mr. Dix—" John Anderson, my Joe John."
Mr. TENNYSON said that he hoped the meeting would ex-
cuse him for mentioning the name of the young gentleman,
the son of Mr. Anderson, who had that day been present, and
for expressing a hope that this splendid testimonial which his.
father had that day received might descend to him, and that
he might thereby be induced to follow the honourable footsteps
of his father. Female influence, they knew, was very power-
ful. They possessed a Constitution, which, if purged of those,
abuses which time and corruption had introduced into it, must
ultimately prove beneficial to mankind. He hoped that the
liberty of the press would not be abused, and he was sure it
would not be by his honourable friend. He depended upon
their exertions to assist him. He was sure they would do so.
—( Hear.) He had always advocated liberal principles—he
would always do so.—( Hear, hear.) He was sure his honour-
able friend (Mr. Anderson) who sat near him, always would
do so, and he had no fear of the result.—( Hear, hear.) He
hoped to see their liberties placed upon such a foundation as
could never be altered. It was by the means of such a journal
as the Morning Advertiser alone that this desirable end could
be effected. The Licensed Victuallers of England stood pre-
eminent as the friends of liberty—( Cheers.) He was certain
that they always would prove so.—( Hear, hear.) He considered
them to be prepared for the crisis which was coming. If the
Tories ever succeeded in obtaining a Parliament which would
support Tory measures, they would keep it for seven years.
The House of Lords was theirs, and if the Commons was also
theirs, what could they not do, what could they not undo ?
( Hear.) The consequences were terrible. They came home
to the breast of every man. He concluded by proposing the
health of Mrs. Anderson.
Mr. ANDERSON returned thanks on behalf of Mrs. Ander-
son. If any thing could have given him greater satisfaction,
it was that the health of his lady had been drunk with such
kindness.—( Hear, hear.) He would impress upon them the
necessity of their attending to the advice of his Hon. Friend
(Mr. Tennyson). The present Ministers, he knew—for he
had means of knowing—were sincere Reformers. If they
had not been thrust from office as they were, th:y e
brought forward two rne=.t important measures. The House
of Lords r.-uuld probably throw out the most important mea-
sure of the two, namely, that of Corporate Reform, and it
would then be necessary to have a dissolution, in order to
show the House of Lords that the people were determined
upon the measure.—(Hear.) Mr. Anderson concluded by
proposing the health of Mr. M'Leod, a sincere Reformer.—
( Cheers.)
Mr. WLion returned thanks in a very eloquent speech.
He concluded by proposing prosperity to the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' School.

Mr. LOWE, of the firm of Pewtress and Lowe, next ad-
dressed the assembly. He proposed success to the Licensed
Victuallers' Asylum. The Licensed Victuallers not only pro-
tected the aged, but also the young. They protected all who
received their relief, and it gave him great pleasure to pro-
pose the present toast.--( Cheers.)
Mr. GOOD returned thanks on behalf of his colleagues and
and himself as guardians, and connected with the Asylum.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the son of Mr.
Tennyson, and he hoped that when his father was dead and
gone, that he would follow in the steps of his worthy sire.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. TENNYSON returned thanks. He hoped that in public
life he should always act upon those principles which seemed
to have met their approbation in the person of his father.
He concluded by proposing the Corporation of London.
Mr. LowE returned thanks on behalf of the Corporation.
They had the privilege of addressing his Majesty upon the
throne, and at the dismissal of the Grey ministry, they did so ;
and he could not forget the appearanee of the Duke of Wel-
lington at the period in question—he looked very grave. He
concluded by proposing " Civil and Religious Liberty all over
the world."—( Cheers. )
Mr. WIRE said this toast was one of the deepest importance
to the people of England. As a Dissenter, he sought to have
the fair exercise of his opinion in all matters concerning him-
self arid his God, and he wished all others to have the same.
—(Hear.) What was man without liberty ? Give him that,
and he would triumph over every obstacle. He hoped that
they would become the pride and envy of the surrounding
nations, and they would be able to walk abroad without fear
of the trammel of power. They must act as well as think.
If they wished the Reform Bill to benefit them, and if they
did not wish it to be a mere dead letter, they must bestir
themselves and must reflect that the powers they possessed
must not only be exercised for the benefit of themselves, but
of their posterity. He conjured them to consider that every
man who conducted himself with such honour as their Editor
had, would be entitled to their esteem, and ought to receive it.
The greatest testimony to man's honourable conduct was such
a testimonial as the present.--( Hear, hear.)
Three cheers were then given for Mr. Wire.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Blake, the
Secretory of the Institution, and he had no doubt that at some
future day they should feel it their duty to give him a similar
testimonial to that which they had this day given to their
Editor.—( Loud cheers.)
Mr.- BLAKE returned thanks. He felt pleasure in all the
services he had performed, and particularly in his assistance
in forwarding the present subscription. He had had the ho-
nour of being acquainted with Mr. Anderson many years, and
he felt happy to say that the most friendly feeling had always
existed between himself and that gentleman, an he trusted
that it would always continue. They both ,filled responsible
situations on the journal—Mr. Anderson at the head of the
literary, and himself at the head of the commercial depart-
ment. He had been for upwards of twenty years in the ser-
vice of the Institution, and he believed he had no occasion to
blush to meet them on the present occasion.—( Hear.) He
had never deserted their interests.—( Loud cheers.) He con-
cluded by expressing a wish that the Morning Advertiser
might continue to flourish, and to continue in those principles
which had met their approbation and that of the public up to
the present time.
The CHAIRMAN then said the business of the day had con-
cluded, and he thanked the meeting for the kind attention they
had paid to the proceedings.
We cannot refrain from repeating the expression of our
most cordial approbation at the manner in which the dinner
was conducted by Mr. Grover. The wines were splendid,
and were procured at a vast expense. The tent under which
the company dined, was a most superb one—it was furnished
by Mr. Bird, of the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, gratuitously
—it formerly belonged to the Duke of Devonshire, and was
capable of accommodating upwards of two hundred persons,
with the greatest ease. It will remain for inspection for a few
days. _ _

The whole proceeding passed off with the utmost eclat, and
the company separated, apparently highly gratified with the
day's entertainment.

The splendid Cup, presented to Mr. Anderson, may be seen
at the Morning Advertiser Office after this day.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, MAY 25.—The Government, conformably to the law
of Ist October, 1833, has just consented to deliver up two French-
men, who had taken refuge in Belgium, having been condemned
in France (by default) one for coining, the other ?or forgery.
Mrs. William Pole Tilney Long Wellesley- has just commenced
an action against. Mr. Long Wellesley for adultery. Our readers
know that this lady claims to be his wife. It seems, that on his
refusal to receive her into his house, and his positive declaration
before the Court that she was not his wife, the lady being informed
of the grounds of his refusal, and having learnt that he kept a
mistress in their house, made her complaint to the Court, in con-
sequence of which Mr. Wellesley was summoned, and appeared
before the Judge who is charged with the management ..f this affair.
The number of persons in imprisonment for debt at the Petits
Carmes increases daily, in such a manner, that in a short time the
quarter of the prison allotted to them will not be large enough to
contain them. The total amount of their debts is said to be a
million.

BRUSSELS, MAY 26.—The T.:ibunal of the first instance
of this city, yesterday condernv.a the city to pay the sum of 284,351
francs to Messrs. the Bv,:ron Vine, the Marquis de Trazegnies,
Count de Marnix, Sckolvails, Jones. and Mrs. Ward, widow, for
damage done the;:;. residences in the riots; the first two claim-
ants obtained al.'w a further sum of 28,351 francs. It is deplora-
ble that the city of Brussels has not endeavoured to follow the
example of other cities, which have succeeded in settling such af-
'
,air!. out of Court, by paying the amount of the danages.
When the subscription was opened for the Bank of Belgium, the
twenty millions required were subscribed in a very short time ; the
Society of Commerce soon followed, and twenty times the sum
wanted was subscribed in a few hours. To-day the subscription
opened for shares in the Company for the Canal for joining the
Sumbre and the Oise, promised still more extraordinary success.
At noon numerous signatures were affixed to the list, most of them
for the whole sum (two millions) offered to the public.—Brussels
Paers, May 26.
VIENNA, MAY 15.—The accounts from Egypt continue to be
very gloomy. The ravages of the plague are terrible. It was re-
ported at Leghorn that Mehemet Ali was again ill, and had been
given up by the physicians ; some even affirmed that he was dead.
Our Government has not received any such information, on which
account no credit is given to this report, which has been often
spread before.

SMYRNA, Aram 18.—Merchantmen, which left Alexandria on
the 28th March, bring word that the plague was still raging at
Alexandria with unabated fury, and 200 peksons died every day.
Several European and many Greek houses were infected. Most
of the foreign vessels in the harbour had the plague on board ;
several had been obliged to re-land their cargoes after losing: part
of their crews. The disorder had broken out on board an Egyp-.
tion ship-of-the-line and a frigate which were in the road, and was
very fatal to the crews. The whole city is in consternation and
mourning, and all business suspended. The progress of the disease
was in many instances more rapid than in the cholera : death took
place in a few hours. The situation of Cairo was equally melan-
choly; the pestilence had not fully developed itself, but the num-
ber of deaths was from three hundred to four hundred daily. At
Fua, a town with twenty-five or thirty-thousand inhabitants, on
the banks of the Nile, directly opposite to the Canal of Mahmudie,
the plague had been uncommonly fatal : only three houses escaped.
It is affirmed that of nineteen thousand persons who were attacked
with the disorder, hardly five hundred remained alive—(Qy. in
the town)—so that the town is almost depopulated. All the vil-
dlaugaieslyorneabcohthesbalanlktshoofsethwe Ntsilec:hf aEvegysuffered,
ich had
the disease gra-
d hitherto been
spared.

There was no news at Alexandria of Mehemet Ali a'.nd his son ;
it was not even exactly known where they were. All the f'"";!7'
Cunsuls had left Cairo and Alexandria.
