Conservative Meeting at Norwich.

Noßwiell, IVednesday.

The Nor;e•ich First Ward Conservative Associa-
tion celebrated its anniversary dinner last evening
at the Black Horse Tavern, Museum-street. The
chair was occupied by Mr. J. B. Morgan, and some
interest was imparted to_ the proceedings by the pre-
sence of Mr. Augustus Goldsmid, late Conservative
candidate for Norwich. There were also present the
Rev. J. Durst, Mr. J. S. Skipper, the Rev. T. Mey-
rick, Mr. G. Kitton (in the vice-chair), Mr. J. Allen,
Mr•. W. Woodhouse, &c.

After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts,
The VICE-CHAIRMAN gave the sentiment of
" Church and State."

The Rev. J. MEvutcx-, in replying, said that he I
thought the time was come when it ought to be con-
sidered very earnestly whether it was not necessary
to draw very close the ties between the Church and 1
the Conservative party. They had seen lately
what the other party intended on this point, and 1
they had read Mr. Bright's speeches on his recent ,
journey to Ireland. Mr. Bright's great effort had
been to turn off the minds of Irishmen from. Fe-
nianism, which they would not be turned away
from, to another issue--viz., the overthrow and up- ,
setting of the Established Church of Ireland. And
Mr. Bright, not content with stating that the Esta-
blished Church was to be upset in Ireland, told the i
public that the same principle which applied to Ire-
land would apply also to _,,England. The question
was thus brought closely home, whether an alliance
ought not to be made between the Church party and
the Conservative party. (Hear.)
Mr. GOLDS3IID, who was received with cheers,
proposed the next toast, " The Earl of Derby and
the Conservative Peers in the House of Lords."
The hon. gentleman said one of the old Roman
tyrants had remarked that he wished all his subjects
had one neck, that he might cut it off at once ; he
(Mr. Goldsmid) wished that all the Conservatives in
Norwich had one hand, that he might shake it all at
once. (Laughter and cheers.) He had the greatest
satisfaction, at all events, in finding so many good
Conservatives of Norwich present that evening ;
and if anything could make the pleasure greater, it
would be the having entrusted to him a toast to
which all Conservatives must respond from the bot-
tom of their hearts, as they admired and loved Lord
Derby, and regarded the House of Peers, next to
the Church, the great bulwark of the constitution.
If there were any man in the country to whom we
should feel grateful, not merely as Conservatives,
but as Englishmen, it was Lord Derby, because with
wealth sufficient to gratify the amplest desires,
with a position to which that of no subject was
second, and with health far from that which those
who loved him could wish, for he had disregarded
his health, set at naught his position, and volunta-
rily resigned a great part of the comforts of his for-
tune in order to do that which he believed for the
good of the country, and to bring to the councils of
the Sovereign that wisdom and energy which could
not have been met with from any other quarter
but himself when Conservatives considered all
this, they felt that they owed a deep debt of
gratitude to the Earl of Derby, and that as the noble
earl in his great position had made great sacrifices
in order to be useful to them, so
.they ought, and if
they were real Conservatives, and intended to be
worthy of that great name, to set at nought their
own comfort and their own convenience and wishes
so as to do what they could to help his lordship on
in the great task which he had undertaken. Ile
(Mr. Goldsmid) was sure he was speaking no more
than that which was felt by many men present when
he said these were no ordinary times, for we were
now called upon to prop up that constitution under
which, by God's providence, this country had be-
come what he hoped it might still continue to be for
centuries. We were called upon to prop up that
constitution against attacks from every quarter.
Whether we referred to the lauded interest or the
manufacturing interest of the country, the rights of
property were being attacked by all those who, hav-
ing nothing to hoped to get something out of
the scramble. The Right llon. IVillion Windham,
who, for many years
with credit to himself and
glory to Norwich, represented Norwich as Norwich
ought to be represented, made an observation with
reference to Sir Francis Burdett when a reform bill
was mooted in his time, which he (Mr. Goldsmid)
believed might with equal propriety be applied to
Mr. Bright now. Mr. Windham said, " Nothing is
so cheap as patriotism. To be a friend of the people
is a very easy thing when a man sacrifices nothing
by it. He may be exceedingly sincere and honest ;
he may never have been called upon to make a sa-
crifice ; but we cannot, as the world goes, give a
man credit for sincerity and devotion to his party
when lie does nothing in order to gain a great deal
which other men pass their lives uselessly in en-
deavouring to obtain." He (Mr. Goldsmid) would
ask the meeting whether these words would not
apply to Mr. Bright and many others, as they did to
Sir F. Burdett in 1809 ? He had mentioned Mr.
Bright's name ; perhaps he might be expected to say
a few words upon the meetings which bad taken
place in London. He knew that Conservatives were
accused of always bringing forward Mr. Bright, but he
wanted to know how they could do otherwise. When-
ever the reformers wished to advocate their prin-
ciples they sent for Mr. Bright. Mr. Bright was at
Manchester, Rochdale, and Dublin, where he did
not come out in very " dacent" society. (Laughter.)
The fact was, Mr. Bright was everywhere. As for
Mr. Beales, although nobody perhaps but Beales
could interpret Beales, Colonel Dickson, who was not
unknown in Norwich—(A yoice—" We know him
too well")—(laughter)—said the other day that he
was one of the glories of the reform party and a
martyr of the aristocracy. People had wondered why
Mr. Beales called himself " M.A.," and an intelli-
gent man wrote to the Standard to suggest that it
was because his wife's name was " Mary Ann"—
(laughter)—and he was so fond of it that he put it
on afterwards to his own name. (Laughter.) Col.
Dickson has now enlightened the public, and it might
be inferred that the reason why Mr. Beales put
to his name was that he was a martyr of the aristo-
cracy. (Laughter.) A still stronger supporter of Mr.
Bright, both at the meeting at Beaufort House, and
at the subsequent meeting in St. James's Hall, was
Mr. Leicester, the glass-blower. (Laughter.) Well,
if Mr. Leicester was as energetic in blowing his glass
as he was in his oratory, his work must be more strong
than elegant. Mr. Leicester said something to the
effect that the House of Commons consisted of a lot
of one• eyed humpbacks. (Laughter.) Well, there was
only one gentleman who had had the misfortune to
lose his eyesight, a loss which every one mustlament,
and that gentleman was Mr. Fawcett, the member for
Brighton, and he was one of the great friends of the
people. (Laughter.) Another member, holding some-
what similar opinions to Mr. Fawcett was Mr. Fors-
ter, and he was not exactly considered an Apollo Bel-
videre by those who knew him. (Laughter.) These
were the only two gentlemen upon whom he (Mr.
Goldsmid) could fasten Mr. Leicester's physiological
remarks, and they happened to be his own friends.
(Laughter.) At the evening meeting in St. James's
Hall this same Mr. Leicester made an observation
which lie had made to his wife in the morning. He
(Mr. Goldsmid) hoped that Mr. Leicester contented
himself with
guPl'isglass and not his wife.
(Laughter.) Leicester said that, although
litll
Lord Derby might have translated the " Iliad," if
he was not more clever in governing the country
than be was in glass-blowing, he ought to have been
turned out long ago. This remark was so well re-
ceived by the domestic hearth that Mr. Leicester
repeated it afterwards in St. James's Hall, where it
was also well received. Mr. Bright certainly made
au admirable speech in St. James's Hall, but he
seemed to have forgotten a remark made by a very
great man in his time (Lord Mansfield), " that
nothing was so misleading as a simile." Mr. Bright
argued that if we were upon the verge of a volcano

he must not be considered responsible for the tor-
rents of lava which would shortly flow, as he did
not place them there. But Mr. Bright forgot that
the greatest destruction which had sometimes re-
sulted from the action of a volcano was the destruc-
tion of the mountain itself ; and Mr. Bright forgot,
too, that if he did not place the inflammable mate-
rials there he had been at pains to bring those
elements into a state of combustion. Mr. Bright
must be much mistaken if he fancied he could pull
down the constitution of the country without being
buried himself in the ruins. (Ifear, hear.) Having
defended the utility of meetings like that which he
was now addressing, as they diffused thought and
fortified opinion, Mr. Goldsmid said he hoped that
every one whom he saw present would do everything
he possibly could to spread the principles which
they all believed. Let it be seen that they were
Conservatives, not from a mere blind instinct, but
because they believed that Conservatism was true.
Although Conservative doctrines might not always
be the most popular—since they did not flatter the
vanity or self-love of individuals or a class—yet
Conservatives looked to the welfare of the whole
country, to the preservation of the constitution, and
to the maintenance of the nation in that position
which, by the blessing of God, it had occupied for
so many centuries, and which they hoped by the
same blessing and the same constitution it would
continue to occupy for many centuries more.
(Cheers).
Mr. J. S. SKIPPER, in an able speech, proposed,
"Mr. Disrceli and the Conservative Members of
the House of Commons." Mr. Skipper urged that
the Conservative party must unfurl their banners,
and stand shoulder to shoulder in the great battle
which they would be called upon to wage in the
coming session. Mr. Skipper further urged that
nothing gave so small a representation of individual
opinion as universal suffrage, whether it was under
a despot at the head of any army in Europe, or a
demagogue at the head of a mob across the Atlan-
tic. Mr. Skipper reviewed the recent Reform de-
monstrations attempted by the Radical party, con-
tending that they had been comparative failures,
and that they disclosed a great want of unanimity
among the Liberals. He believed, indeed, that the
great bulk of the Liberals would support a measure
of Reform prepared by the Conservative party. The
Conservatives, then, must maintain a determined
attitude, and they would be enabled to maintain
those great principles under which England bad
flourished from the first times until now. (Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with Kentish fire.
The healthy of " Sir S. Bignold," the " Visitors,"
coupled with the name of Mr. Goldsmid, who re-
sponded, and other toasts followed.
