TILE DIXNXI.

After the meeting, the inh;d;itants of St. Mary-
lebone dined together at the Eyre Arms Tavern,
to celebrate the triumph of the reforming party in
the reception of the New Vestry Bill, by the votes
of a large majority of the inhabitants of the parish.
From .500 to 600 persons sat down to dinner.

About six o'clock, Joseph Hume, M.P.,
took the Chair, supported by Sir John Cam Hob-
house, M.P., Sir Gerard Noel, Sir Sanniel Whol-
ley, Colonel Jones, Major Revell, &c.
The SECRETARY read letters from Mr. Wa•bu
ton, M.P., and Mr. Protheroe, M.P., aporog,sing
for their absence, the former on RCC011i11: of Padia-
mentary duty, the latter on account of Illness. Mr.
Sheil, M.P., was also expected, but was no, present.
The CHAIRMAN went over several of the state-
ments which he had made at the meeting, and en-
tered into a detailed account of the state of parties
in the parish. They had borne the exactions of the
party over whom they had at length triumpt•ed with
most Christian patience—they had borne than until
the Select Vestry had incurred a debt to the amount
of a quarter of a debt for which, be it
observed, they (the parish) were responsible, and
which they must pay. They might yet have re
mained silent, had not the Vestry attempted to
bring into the Homo a Bill to legalize the demand
for Easter Offerings, which every body knew was
a voluntary gift. This outrageous attempt was the
immediate cause of the measures which they adopt-
ed, and therefore he could not help saving that.
after all, perhaps Dr. Spry was the greatest re.•
former in the parish—at least reform was more ir-
debted to him than to any other person.—(Laugh-
ter and cheers.) The Hon. Chairman then pas.ed a
eulogium upon the exertions of Sir John Cam Hob
house and the Committee in overcoming the very
serious obstacles which they had to encounter.—
This led him to the toast which it was his duty to
propose, " The Patron of our Parish, King Wiluarn
the Reformer; may he enjoy every blessing he if..
sires to confer on his people."—(Loud cheers.)
Parochial Reform would put an end to many great
and overwhelming abuses, but Parliamentary Re-
form would sweep away abuses in the State, to the
full as rank and as oppressive ; and he wa, happy to
say that he could not doubt, that, with a Munarch,
a Ministry, and a people. firmly united, there was
now nothing to fear for the ultimate result of that
great measure.--(lmmense cheering.)
The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm;
and " God save the Ktng" was sung, with the
whole company joining in the chorus.
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY proposed the next toast.
To the present liberal Administration they were in-
debted for carrying the Vestries 8.11 into a law,.
They might be justly proud of it ; but if any gen-
tleman might l; more proud than another, it wag the
gentleman who sat by his slde---he meant Sir J. C.
Hobhouse.—(Loud cheers.) This Bill was his
work; it was his child—the child, not of his adop-
tion, but of his own begetting.—(Laughter and
great cheers,) He would say no more, but pro-
pose to them—" The health of S'r John Cam
Hobhouse and his Majesty's Ministers, and th,o4s
to them for their exertions it passing the Vestries
Bill."—(The toast was drunk with three times
three.)

rose, to return
Sir J. C. H
thanks, and was received with thunders, of applause.
He alluded to the rapid progress of the parish of
Maryleboae in population, wealtk ar.d intelligence ;
and observed, that he considered tie present meet-
ing, composed as it waa of various classes, but prin-
cipally of the middle class, to be a good specimen
of the people of England. He wished those who
doubted the increasing power and intelligence of the
people would but come amongst them. In teture.
jog thanks for the honour conferred upon me, I feel
bound to state, that the measure would never have
come to the present issue had it not been for the
support of his Majesty's Government. Yet I can-
not but feel supremely gratified, that with their as-
sistance, backed by your support, and that of my
own constituents, I have been the humble insttu.
went of promoting the success of a measure which I
feel assured will tend to the welfare and prosperity
not only of this metropolis, but of every communist'
throughout this vast empire.—(The conclusion of
this speech, whielt was energetically delivered, wa;
attended by the most rapturous applause.)
" Mr. flume's health" was then drunk with three

approbation.

The greater part a the company then retired, bu
numbers remained apparently with the intention of
prolonging their hilarity to slater hour.

It is with extreme concern we hear that an
amiable and accomplished Nobleman, who not many years ago
held the high office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
is at present subject to frequent aberrations of mind. We
hope that some of the statements which have been published
will prove to be gross exaggerations of the fact (many of them
we know to be so) ; and all that 4ss been said of his Lordship's
conduct while in office is utte4y unfounded. Ile was an inti-
mate friend and associ,at,e of Mr. Canning, and his classical
attainments were cif She highest order.

At a grand dinner given at a certain great
house, on Sunday set-WOO, to a Royal Duke, and the high
Tories, just as they Were about to sit ucwn to table, a Trimmer
and his Lady were announced. The momentary confusion is
indescribable! The illustrious hostess suffered even more than
ner visitors. However, the evil was without a remedy ; and
therefore the Lady and Gentleman were received with the brit
„race possible ! We shall not attempt to describe the asto-
nishment of the intruders Into the sanctum sanctorum, but
content ourselves with stating that, by a mistake in the date oC
the card, they were invited to meet Whigs instead of Tories.
