Morning Advertiser, at the Rose and Crtiwn, Brornieple. •
'-'.."----.""'"•111.1111111. '' I \i...; + Bow, for the purpose of presenting him with a-piece of plate., _

cause of liberty and Reform generally. . • -.
-4=1"1". The number of gentlemen present on the occasion was up-
wards
of 150, among whom we observed the Right Hon. Mr.
Tennyson, M. P., Mr. T. Duncombe, _M. P., Sir John Scatt
Lillie, Mr. Macleod, Mr. Lynde, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Lowe,.
Mr. Mackenzie, chairman of the late Milton-street Commit-
tee ; Mr. Moore, &c. &c., and several others whose names are
well known to the public.
Mr. BINGLEY was called to the Chair.
The dinner, which was served in a style of elegance which
reflects the highest credit on Mr. Grover, the spirited land-
lord of the place, took place in a marquee in Mr. Grocer's
beautiful tea-gardens, which were fitted up for the purpose.
The marquee was, beyond all comparison, one of the most.
tasteful we have ever seen • and there was not a person pre-
sent who did not express his admiration of it. Around the
two posts whice supported it were wreathed festoons of flowers
of the most beautiful and varied kind. These were studded
with variegated lamps, which, when lighted, had, with the
other lamps suspended from the top of the marquee, a most
pleasing effect, giving the place something of the appearance
of a fairy scene. In various parts of the gardens were to be
seen variegated lamps fitted up with singularly good taste,
while the entrance was ornamented with the three letters of
unusual size—" E. M. A., meaning " the Editor of the Morn-
ing Advertiser."
The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN gave " The King," which was drunk with
three times three. " The Queen" followed, which was also
drunk with three times three. The Chairman then q•ave
" The Princess Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family,"
which was received with the warmest applause. The Chair-
man then rose and said, that the next toast which he had to
propose was that of a Noble Individual who had always distin-
guished himself by his advocacy of whatever tended to advance
the interests of science, liberty, and charity—he meant his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and he was sure the
toast would be drunk with the utmost cordiality. The toast
was drunk amidst enthusiastic applause.
Mr. TENNYSON, M. P., then rose and said, that he begged,
in the name of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, to
return thanks for the way in which the health of his Royal
Highness had been drunk. He could assure the gentlemen
presc.snt, tkat there was no man took a deeper interest in the
prosperity of that Society in which the Licensed Victuallers
felt so much interest than hts Royal Highness—(Loud
cheers)—aid he (Mr. Tennyson) lamented to say, that owing
to an afflietiun of Providence, his Royal Highness was not
able to attend the meeting of that Society on this occasion ;
nor did he know when that affliction would cease. When he
( Mr. Tennyson) siAted the manner in which his Royal High-
ness had expressed himself towards that Society, and the
deep interest he felt it: it, they would be sensible how great
their obligations were to his Royal Highness. The Royal
Duke could have no motive in deceiving him (Mr. Tennyson)
as to the feelings he entertained towards this Society.—( Ap-
plause.) It was gratifying to think that the affliction under
which his Royal Highness laboured did not in any way, or in
any degree, affect his moral sentiments ; his heart still ex-
panded with benevolence towards his fellow man—(Loud
cheers)—and if ever there was an individual who was an orna-
ment to human nature, that individual was the Duke of Sussex.
—( Cheers.) The meeting of the Society had been postponed
on his account, and he still trusted that he would be able to
preside at the dinner in June.—( Loud cheers.) The opinion
of those about his Royal Highness is, that the necessary ope-
ration may be performed within three or four weeks, and he is
most anxious that he may be able to preside on that occasion.
He could assure the gentlemen present that the feeling they
had manifested towards his Royal Highness would be recipro-
cated on his part.—( Loud cheers.)
" The Army and Navy" was next given, and drunk with
.-„-eat applause.
6 s',:, veral very excellent songs were sung between the various
toasts.

" The Editor of the Morning Advetiser ;" and on the Cult
itself is the following suitable inscription :
THIS CUP,
Purchased by the Voluntary Subscriptions
of many of the Members of the
FRIENDLY SOCIETY OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS,
and other Friends to Liberal Principles,
was presented to
JOHN ANDERSON, ESQ.,
Editor of the
MORNING ADVERTISER,
'testimonial of their high estimation of his literary talents; of
rude for his exertions on behalf of the Charities con-
with that Journal ; and of their admiration of his con-
manly, and fearless advocacy, through the medium af its
of those measures of REFORM, which
arc the impregnable safeguards of the '
RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of
THE PEOPLE.
. Cup was of most splendid and exquisite workmanship.
The architect, Mr. Skryrosher, deserves great credit for the
designs. On the top of the dup is an allegorical figure, re-
presenting Fame, holding in one hand a Morning Advertiser,
and in the other a trumpet. The Cup is encompassed by the
vine, and on the six-square feet a dolphin. The Cup was ac-
knowledged to be of the most tasty execution by every pens=
who witnessed it.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said (addressing himself to
the Editor of the Morning Advertiser), it is now my most
pleasing duty, Sir, to present you with this cup a:id cover.
Perhaps, before doing so, it will be better for me to read the
inscription.—(The Chairman here read the inscription.) The
exertions referred to in this inscription were all exertions u a
good cause ; but to act as you have done requires a very intel-
ligent and comprehensive mind. In presenting this token to
public respect to you, I feel much gratified at being the humble•
individual with whom the proposal first originated. lam gra-
tified to think that it met with such cordial approval from the
Licensed Victuallers at large; and I am still more gratified
to have the honour, Sir, of now presenting this testimonial of
respect to you.—(Cheers.) The subscribers to this cup and
cover feel it at once their honour and duty to present it to
you; and you will be able to present it at your festive board
as a testimonial of the respect of your countrymen for your
services and loyalty to your King. I trust we are all ready
to do any thing which is necessary in defence of the King.
—(Loud cheers.) We are only anxious to see abuses
eradicated.—(Cheers.) I trust, Sir, you will still go on in
the same course you have hitherto pursued, namely, pro bone
publico. If so, your fame will spread from pole to pole, and the
Morning Advertiser will become the first paper in the empire.
I trust the interests of the Licensed Victuallers will become
matters of the deepest importance in the minds of our' legis-
lators—and that they will take care not to ruin a body of as
honest men as are to be found in the empire. We support in
our Institution 250 children, and 150 annually receive relief.
They might depend on it that the more our legislators injure
the publicans the more they debase the public mind ; for it was
only by having respectable men in those houses that their re-
spectability could lie preserved. I wish you, Sir, all health
and happiness, and that you may long continue to drink out of
this cup. The Chairman here handed the cup to the Editor
of the Morning Advertiser, amidst the loudest cheers.
The Cup was then filled with wine, and after the Chairman,
Mr. Tennyson, Mr. Duncombe, and the other gentlemen at
the upper table, had drunk the Editor's health out of it, it
went round the whole company, each gentleman doing the
same.

quested to direct the Sword-bearer to open the doors. His
Lordship refused to give any such direction ; whereupon Al-
derman Matthew Wood said, " We don't come here to be made
children of," walked from his seat, unlocked the door himself,
and invited the persons who had been excluded to enter.
It will be recollected that Sir Peter Laurie caused the pri-
vate Court of the Middlesex Magistrates to be thrown open,
and we believe that no Middlesex Magistrate regrets the
change. The good effect the new arrangement will have upon
the Court of Aldermen will be the removal of a great load of
obloquy from the shoulders of the Aldermen, who, whatever
may be their faults, are most decidedly guiltless of the crimes
of jobbing, or eating and drinking away the resources of their
fellow-citizens. Nothing of the slightest public importance
occurred after the admission of strangers. The routine busi-
ness, which usually occupies three hours in transacting, was
finished in an hour.

The EDITOR then rose and spoke to the following effect :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—this is not the first, nor se-
cond, nor third occasion on which I have had the honour of be-
ing presented by large companies, met for the purpose, with
testimonials of public respect ; nor is this the only country
from which I have received such tributes of public esteem, for,
I have received them from all quarters of the globe—( Loud
chcers)—from men whom I never personally knew, and with
many of whom I never even corresponded.-- ( Cheers.) But allow
me to say, that I feel greater embarrassment and excitement
than I ever did in the whole course of my life.—( Cheers.) To
have had my health drunk with so much kind feeling must be
at all times a source of great gratification ; but to have this
manifestation of their regard sealed with the token of it which
has just been presented to me, was an honour for which I
was not prepared, and to express my sense of which no
words are sufficient. The proposal was first made-by a gen-
tw:Tian whom I never before saw for five minutes in my life,
arid s;:ith whom I never had any conversation till yesterday.
I am gratified at the manner in which the proposal when
made was ;esponded to. There is another circumstance
most gratifying to me, and that is, that the subscription
was entirely voltm:ary—(Cheers)—and that the sun had
not twice run his con: se when the whole amount was col-
lected. This is the only country in which the press is not
respected, while on the Cont :lent I have known the editors
of journals admitted to the palaces of kings and the cabinets
of ministers; but as this is among the first testimonies of re.
spect to the public press, I value it thr more on that account.
But I will not enter into details on this subject. You have
given this first proof of respect for the press, and in so doing,
have set an example to others. Allow me to 1->9y that I feel
gratified to see many of the Licensed Victuallers here 011
this occasion—a body of men in whose service I have been
for the last seven years, and in whose service I hope to live
and die.—(Loud cheers.) The inscription not only gives me
credit for service to the Licensed Victuallers Society, but to
the Cause of liberty.—( Loud cheers.) It likewise gives me
credit for literary talent, to which I make no pretensions.
Of all these testimonies, if I feel more proud of one than
another, it is of that which gives me credit for any ser-
vices which I may have rendered to the cause of liberty.--
I see many Tories here whom I respect ; but it could not be de-
nied that there was a faction behind the throne who had lately
endangered the liberties of the people. I have done my best
to oppose that faction, and now we have happily triumphed
over it. If the ministry of Lord Melbourne does not now trust
more to the people and less to the aristocracy, they will not
deserve the support of the nation ; but I cannot think, after
the experience they have had—l cannot for a moment think—
they will have any confidence except in, the people. I knew
that the attempt which was made by the late Prime Minister
to impose on the country by professions of Reform.-would not
succeed. I had no faith in the honesty of a man who
