The CUAIRMAN, in proeosing the next toast, saki i
demanded serious consideration, for it was the toast d
the evening, and intended as an embalming of the info
mory of those good and great men who,
el"
bad times, were tried for their lives
years ago, and of whose acquittal this was the
jubilee.—(Hear, hear.) Their names were John I-11

the memory of those individuals. The toast was dthi/.
with The liveliest enthusiasm.
Mr. PARRY rose to propose the next toast,
was the memory of the three juries who, in 1794, ro
_quitted Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall, and of Ersitl
and Gibbs, their able and gratuitous counsel on tel
occasion. In the course of his speech Mr. Parl
dwelt with much force on the difference between t 0

CELEBRATION of the ACQUITTAL
OF HARDY, TOOKE, THELWALL, &c.
The 50th anniversary of the acquittal of John
Horne Tooke, Thomas Hardy, John Thelsvall, and
the other persons who were tried with them on a
charge of high treason, was celebrated yesterday in a
public dh'iner, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street,
Blackfriars. About 150 persons were assembled on
the occasion, and amongst others we noticed the fol-
lowing individuals :—T. Browning, Alexander 'Gal-
loway, Richard Burnett, J. B. Barnard, James Cop-
pock, and Frank Tibbett, Esqrs.
Wm. Coates, Esq., was called to the chair.
After ample justice had been done to the excellent
dinner provided-on the occasion, and after the cloth
was removed,
The CHAIRMAN rose, and said that he looked for-
ward with delight and pleasure to the celebration of
the present day, though he regretted he was unex-
pectedly called on to perform the office of Chairman
on the occasion. The first toast which he would pro-
pose—and, indeed, he would not propose any toast,
no matter by whom originated, which had not the
concurrence of his own conscientious convictions—
the first toast which he had to propose was, " The
People," from whom all power and authority flowed.
They were before Kings and Emperors, tyrants and
conquerors, for it was • from them that they derived
all their power.--(Hear, hear.) A sovereign could
not exist without a people ; but he had some notion
that a people could exist without a sovereign.--
(Laughter and cheers.) They were a check upon the
sovereign . when the sovereign was inclined to go
wrong; and when the people willed it, they could say
to the sovereign, " Thus far shalt thou go, and no
further." He would therefore, in the first instance,
propose the health of the people—the sovereign peo-
ple.—The toast was drank with enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN rose again, and said that if the
sovereign were a despot, and the people slaves, the
toast which he was about to propose would have little
value indeed ; but when the sovereign was the
freely chosen of the people, and conciliated the
affection of the people-=when the sovereign
was one whose domestic virtues and public policy cast
as much value on the royal station as was derived
from it, and such a sovereign they had—(Cheers)
then, indeed, it became a pleasure and a value to pro-
pose the health of the sovereign.—(Cheers.) On a late
occasion, when the present Sovereign came to open the
proudest temple of commerce in the world, and to
mingle with her subjects, he had the honour of eating
salt with her,.and most gracious arid pleasant she was
—(Gheers)--and proud she ought to feel in ruling-
over such a people.—(Cheers.) It was because they

were a free people, and a sovereign people, that the On Monday, the 4th inst., • a general assembly 0. fa,
