PITT CLUB.

'1 he triennial conneemeration cf the birth of the late
nnam Pitt was yesterday c-,lebr:lted by the club with
tb, czstorriary bx-stret Merchant Tailor's Hall. Lord
Itl:.lwn presided. On Lis right sat the Duke of Wellington,
ar::i on his left the Marquis of Salisbury. The Duke of Wel-
lh gtom arrived at about half-past six, and was received by the
fl t. lively demonstrations oF favcur by the crowded room---
the band, while he walked throp7h the ball, complimenting
by playing " See the conquering hero comes."
On the cloth being removed, the usual loyal toasts were
after

111,; CHAIIINIAN, in rising to propose the nest toast,
ttL that of "The memory of the Illustrious man in whose
trr:,e they were that day assembled," observed that it was
for the person who chanced to fill the high station eon-
to him, to make a few remarks, not only on the charac-
ti t. of Mr. Pitt, but on the principles which they held in corn-
s; ~u with him; and as he was desirous not to be the first to
El= .from that custom, he entreated the indulgence of the
as for a few moments while he endeavot:red to discharge
e duty so imposed upon hire.—( hear.) No man, he hest-
t..ted not to say, ever was more entitled to the honour of such
a ,Tlebration as the present than Mr. Pitt--no man ever fought
.re devotedly for his country—no man Iss deserved that
the country for which he so ,`ought should forget him. Mr.
Pilt's whole life belonged to England. From the hour he
fic-t entered public life until his death he was unceas-
ii occupied in the advancement of those principles
v i h which his name now stood so gloriously identified.
Cf the patriotism of Mr. Pitt need he say one word ? It had
rt., bounds but one, and that was his life.—( Loud cheers.)
1 is life was passed in one of the most awful and dangerous
per iods of modern politics. It was passed at the period made
celebrated by the commencement of the French Revolution.
ed he call their attention to the energy and courage which
;c.
Pitt displayed in meeting the danger ? Need he remind
t• em of the wisdom and sound policy which dictated the
r ,•tisures he recommended to guard against it? Why was it
I e did not survive to witness the triumphant
,plains of
IVaterloo ! Why was it be did not live to see one of the
most illustrious men England ever produced make a stand
the field on behalf of those principles which in the Cabinet
his Sovereign he ( Mr. Pitt) was the first to originate !
( Loud cheering.) He had seen the French invaders carry
a ,cry tiling before them, even unto the banks of the Danube
rad the Tiber. Why was it he did not live to witness these
• s.7.tne invaders driven back with ignominy, and repulsed with
! Why was not Mr. Pitt spared to witness the
de:laid career, the noble achievements of England's uncon-
. uered General l—( Loud and enthusiastic cheers.) Had
:tit-. Pitt been now alive, had he, like Lord Eldon, from the
I,tirement of private life watched the progress of public
rtfairs, with what satisfaction—with what happiness—would
o not look to the now brightening prospect of that cause of
v Lich through life he had been the constant and unwearied
d.. ovate.—( Cheers.) All must remember what Mr. Pitt
I: id to meet in 1784. All must recollect the noble stand
w he then made in the defence of the principles which they
• • -
• sVcre that night met to celebrate. How like' to that struggle
vas that which Sir R. Peel had.lately to direct, how similar
was the energy, how equal the vigour with which it was con-
ezieted.—( Cheers.) True, the success in both cases was lot
the same ; but that was attributable to want of ability or of
..:ertion on the part of those who gave Sir Robert Peel their
support. Oh, with what pleasure would not Mr. Pitt, could
1 e have been present in the House of Commons during the
niemorable contest of the present Session, have listened to the
.loquence which poured from the lips of Sir Robert Peel in
ilefence of the principles which, in former times, he had so
nobly advocated.—( Loud cheers.) The Conservatives were
t.:rrned illiberal and narrow-minded, but a more unfounded

i:eputation was never sought to be attached to any set of men.
he word " liberal" was assumed by the Revolutionary party ;
1 :it they were as much entitled to the designation as those who
Light to fetter - and bind up the religious opinions of their
r.ighbours were to that of Freethinkers. Were he to be asked
a: hich of the two parties at the present moment, as represented,
for example, in the House of Commons, -with Sir R. Peel and
Lord Stanley on the one side—(Cheers)—and Lord S: Rus-'
and Mr. O'Connell on the other-4 Groans .and.laughter)
if, he repeated, be were asked which of those two parties
as most entitled to the designation " liberal," without one
r lament's hesitation—without one moment's doubt—he should
piliver, the Conservatives.—(Loud and repeated- eheering. )
Could anything be founded upon more large, comprehensive,
liberal principles, than the intentions of the Conservative
party with respect to the Established Church ?—( Cheers.)
Let them but consider for a moment what were the principles
1,1. that Establishment. Was it not an Establishment main-

t-,ined chiefly by the rich for the benefit of the poor ?—(Hear,
Lear.) Suppose the day were to arrive when, in compliance
with the demand of a noisy faction, the Church were given
-up, would the peasant, who lost the advantages of it, and
Con tr ibute d little to its support, or the landlord, on whom
I lie chief expense of its maintenance devolved, be the prin-
cipal gainer ?—( Hear, hear.) The upholders of the volun-
tiry system claimed for it the praise of liberality, but could
there be anything more entitled to the designation of "
illi-
' than that very same voluntary system ?—( Hear, hear.)
It was alike destructive of all decency of mind or sense of sta-
fein. The Conservative party felt convinced that the Esta-
Chnrch was one of the great causes of the happiness,
ii„!ependence, and comfort of those who participated in the
1 enefits it offered; and, such being their sentimktf, they were
tieternained while life remained they would maintain it against
Ml assaults, from whatever source they might spring.—( Loud
repeated cheers.) They were willing, if it were shown
there were objectionable points in the system, to frame
measures for their removal ; but in doing so they would take
care to make no alteration having the remotest tendency to
Tipair the establishment itself, or render its Ministry less
.e,:icacious and beneficial than it was at present.—(Loud
cheers.)
" The Immortal Memory of the Right Honourable William

Pitt."
- The toast was of course received and drunk in solemn si-
- -:Tence, the company standing.
The CHAT:IMP-7.4 said that in proposing to the meeting the
- I.xt toast, namely, that of " Protestant Ascendancy"—
( Deafening cheers, which lasted some minutes)—he could
m..t but express his delight at the reflection that there was no
1-iager any disunion or discrepancy of opinion among them in
;Ligation to it ; and if any evidence upon this point were re-
.tp.iisite, it was to be-found in the enthusiastic manner in which
the toast was now received.
The CHAIRMAN in rising to propose the next toast, would
content himself by expressing a hope that the character of the
.itistrious Duke, and the honour which so distinguished a
,eeting of his countrymen s 4 justly paid him, would survive, as
the object of emulation to succeeding generations.—( Loud
cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded by proposing " The
)..catth of the Duke of Wellington."
The toast was drank with nine times nine, amid waving of
.i:.iTidkerchiefs, cheering, and every other possible demonstration

s: applause.
The DIKE of WELLINGTON, in returning thanks, spoke to
iollowing, effect :—lt is now thirty years since this country
!.:...Yered the misfortune of losing the services of the great man
hose memory we arc here met to celebate ; and it is a peculiar
:tisfaction to me to see that, at the end of that period of time,
• many respectable and honourable Gentlemen as I now address
,t7l!tl assemble. here to pay a tribute of respect to those prin-
uiptes of which he was so firm an advocate. This, however, is
1,,t the only satisfaction which I derive from seeing so nume-
r and respectablean assembly here met upon the present oc-
.ccion. I feel that such meetings as these teach public men to
• forward to posterity for the raward for their services.—
; :,oud cheers.) It shows them that whatever may be the
'olencc, the exaggeration, and the falsehood of party and fac-
t' o,), they may look with confidence to posterity for justice, and
t•itt from Englishmen. at last justice will be done to them.
( i(ar, hear.)
-The Noble CHAIRMAN next rose to propose to the meeting,
• The health of the Earl of Eldon ;" a toast which he was
rai,. would be repo:Alcd rr:011:-.27 cf respect and
!iiniration.—( Cheers. ) The Noble. Earl was unfortunately
a.,:ent from the meeting in consequence, he regretted to say,
indisposition ; hut, as a proof that his thoughts and best
were with them, he would beg permission to read a
I,,tter he had the honour to receive that morning-from him.
Tile Noble Lord then read the letter.
Lord ENcostnit returned thanks on the part of his Noble

tive.
The Nobie CHAICMAN next gave, " May the principles of
Pitt always animate the councils of Great Britain."—
( The toast was drank with loud and prolonged applause.)
• ." Song—" The pilot that weathered the storm."
The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed the- health of their
Chairman.—( Loud applause.)
Lord NlAntor returned thanks. He had to propose to them
Tile health of the Chief Magistrate of the City of London."
The Loan MA-OR returned thanks.
The CuittamAN said he had now to propose to the meeting
tlAt..;tealth of an eminent statesman, who, though absent from
their festivity. was• not, he was confident, absent from their
I.,:tigl:ti. He would be anticipated in saying he meant Sir
Robert Peel.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering, which lasted
t!,r several minutes.) He could not state whether it had been
the intention of the Right Hon. Baronet to be present among
them that day, but had he so purposed it would have been irn-
,-,q;ble for him to have met them, as he had been commanded
to dine with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. With-
(lit further preface. he begged to propose to them " The
health of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel."
The toast was drank with nine times nine, and with the
rr,ns. enthusiastic cheering.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " The health of their
er.vollent President, Earl Harewood.—(Cheers.)
The Earl of HAttEwoon returned thanks.
- . At twelve o'clock the Chairman, accompanied by the prin-
t.;pal part of the guests, took leave of the meeting, which soon
afar separated. The result of the commemoration seemed to
p:lvc universal satisfaction to thenumerous assemblage.
