neficially act on the foundation of popular power
and the respect of the people. The Church must
be reformed, pluralities terminated, the drones
Abridged of their unfair monopoly of the wealth of the
hierarchy, the working clergy better paid, and trans-
!ations of Bishops, which made them creatures of a
Court, must be put an end to. The people would
exact a more economical Government to the country,
and he trusted that the present Ministry would act t:p
to the principles they professed. It was nn
time tt :-
der present circumstances, and at a convivial dinner, to
enter into any detail on these subjects, but if the
new Representative system did not work these
teneral reforms, and produce prosperity and hap-
piness, the people of this country wnntd be debased
by themselves, and worse degrsded than under the
' dominion of the Boroughmongets. The heroic Pole
now at their table, had nobly expressed that Poland
would have been then free, if, after former struggles
for freedom, its Aristocracy had advanced the con-
dition of the body of the people who helped them
to obtain their liberties.—(Loud elKers.) He would
boldly say, that his peronal friends, and those who
had headed the people of England in the midland
districts in this great moral contest, would never
have deserted them in the hour of trial, but shared
any peril in which they might have been involved;
but most thankful and proud he was that a physical
struggle had been avoided : and that this glorious
and unexampled political Reformation bad been
wrought without the people displaying an ultimate
power, which would have involved, in common tie-
srrucion, the good and the bad institutions of the
country, and given the people a power unsalutaq
and destructive to their best interest . He congra-
tulated their friends throughout the empire -on the
successful issue of a national conies', which he
should ever be proud to reflect had received any aid,
however humble, from his individual efforts.--(Loud
cheers.)

" The health of Mr. Potter and the Reformers of
Manchester" was received with loud applause.
Mr. POTTER returned thanks. He remarked on
the spontaneous meetings which had !taken place
throughout the country on the new of Earl Grey's
resignation. It was remarkable that, wirbout any
previous concert, the Common Council of London
and the towns of Birmingham and Manchester, met
on the same play, and came to the same resolutions,
calling on the House of Commons to stop the sup-
plies—(Enthusiastic cheering)—till Earl Grey was
restored. In behalf of the reformers of Manchester
he returned his sincere thanks.

The health of Count Czapski, Rev. Mr. Fox, and
the National Political Union—The Depwations from
the different Towns, and various other toasts, were
given, and many excellent speeches made.
The LORD MAYOR subsequently gave " the
health of Mr. George Grote, the Chairman of tjie
City Reform Committee," and passed a high etdc-
glum on his exertions in the City during the last
two years.

Mr. GRoTE returned thanks, and in a brief and
able speech, repeated the general sentiments that
the Reform Bills were a means to an end, and that
union and determination among the intelligent and
the honest could alone produce any ultimate or be-
neficial results.

The company prolonged their conviviality to a
late hour; and the provincial Gentlemen and the
Representatives of the various Unions present de-
parted, highly gratified with the hospitality of the
Lord Mayor, and with the warm reception given to
them by their Brother Reformers in the City of
London.
