The Extracts which we gave vesterday from
this excellent Review of the temper of .the
Times, and of the conduct of the Ministryand Op-
position, and other pOlitical parties In the State
must have excited the attention of our Readers :
we therefore proceed to fulfil our promise; arid to
give further Extracts from it. The following
observations on the mischievous effects of party-
spirit, we are sorry to say, 'too justly and truly
po:trtray the present state of -public .
a• We have tints examined the past and present—let us
carry our views forward to the future. %What are the signs
of the times ? and what dangers do they portend ? An atten-
tion to this point is more peculiatly necessary, because with •
out it a very well-meaning man may do a vet y great deal of
mtsehief in a State. lie will, from mere abstract theories,
deduce rules of conduct, which, however right in themselves,
may be totally inapplicable to time case, and, in the existing
situation of the Country, infinitely injurious.. He will, from
a mere general resemblance, reason front one period of
History to another, without obseiving or taking into the ac-
count thoSe small, but critical distinctions, which give it new
complexion to the symptoms, and require a inode of treat-
ment altogether different. This is too often the mistake of
speculative men, who, from briog unaccustomed to the teat
business of life, are not sufficiently careful in marking. out
the actual circumstances of men and thiogs. Yet there is no
political error of a more fatal tendency. At present, how-
ever, time signs of the- times arc but tot easily distinguished :
they are of that menacing and ominous aspect which foretells
a tempest of calamities. 'From every point of the compass
comes confusion and dismay. The brow of individuals is
darkened by the lowering clouds which hang over the Ciotti-
try; and a concerti for the difficulties of England scents al-
most to have absorbed every pritrate and minor consideration.
'lite first sign, which must strike every impartial observer, is
that want of moderation--that spirit of l(traistn, if I may so
express myself—which pervades A LI. rAwri es in this kingdom.
There are bigots in politics as well as in religion : anti bigotry
is equally mischievous in both cases. I do not wish that there
should be no parties in the State : even faction may some-
times be salutary. It may keep up freedom of discussion,
detect latent abuses, and preserve that energy and inde-
pendence which are characteristic of our Country. But
there is some difference between the breeze, which
creates a gentle current to preserve the waters front
stagnation, and the hurricane or the whirlwind, which
agitates them into tempest, anti may engulf hereatter.iii its
vortex every thing of value amid the universal shipwreck of
the State. It now appeals, mot only that both sides are in-
fected by a contagious taithusiasin among themselves, but
each maddens and exasperates the opposite party by their re-
ciprocal violence. Again : the Parliamentary Orators in-
flame the feelings of the people, and the popular irritation
enters insensibly into the 'debates of Parliament. On one
side we bear of nothing but an overwhelming and irremedi-
able accumu-lation of distress, caused solely by the improvi-
dent and 11 •gitions conduct .of the Ministers—of the iron
grasp of despotism, palsying all the vital energies of the na-
tion—of one long series of flagrant enormities—of one coo-
tinned system of taxation, oppression, restrictions, espionage,
and open violationi of the COnstitistion handed down to us by
our ancestors, as completely destitute of all decency, as con-
trary to all law. This sweeping declamation is opposed or
the other side by assititions as general, and almost as
un
meaning. We are told of - one universal mania prevailing
among the people—of principles subversive of all orderol
tenets which strike directly at the root of all government ant
all religion—of the national character lost, tainted, degraded
bewildered in the maze of factious systems, sunk in the mire
of revolutionary designs ;—we ate told that thelower classes
are without employnient because they will not worknot
that they cannot work because they are without employ-
ment :—that their wild notions roust he crushed by the arm
of power—destroyed by soine vigorous, decisive, and imme-
diate resolution. Alas ! even if these assertions were true-s--
if there were an actual and pressing danger of a reign of ter-
ror, or a reign of anarchy!----such idle vehemence would be to
little purpose ! Is this the Method to heal our wounds and
comp ise our divisions ?' Can we thus alleviate the Misfor-
tunes of an agitated and distracted country ? Is it not enough
that we are labouring under real and undeniable distresses
Must we aggravate and inflettie them by the bitterness and
rancour of contending factions? Whitber shall we be car-
ried by this extromity of•party rage ? or who can profit- by it.
but time enemies of. England—whether they lie the forergn
• foes, who fear and hate her as a rival, or the ungrateful
vipers at home, whom she cherishes in her bosom ? ,
" gut why should we. disguise the fact ? there have heal.
foal's and follies on 'Loth sides ; and till one at least of
fbr
parties•shall be less vehement in its hostility, and less indiscri7
minate in its censure, there can be little hope of tranquillity
for the' country. , Unjust aspersions against the Ministry
should be met by argument and reason, not by similar asper,
sions anti sithilar injustice. We must resist bigotry by
moderation, rather titan oppose to it any other intolerance,
different its its name but equal in its mischief. Strong cases',
it is perhaps thonght, require strung remedies; but the pre-
sent method can only add fury to delusion, sad exasperation
to prejudices. It is like' blowing a fire and adding excite-
ments to fever. It is indeed the madness of many for the
gain .of a few :'—it is the infatuation of the well 'disposed for
the advantage of disaffected demagogues, or time-serving sy-
cophants.
,Dc.Lohne, airs he conclusion of his work,--reniarks
the total freedom,- front violence with which the political
disputes and contentions in England are conducted and ter-
minated."l his observation, I fear, mothd hardly have been
made, if lie had been a witness to the furious cliVis'ams of ibe
present moment; but why then must. an age, which boastrso
much of 'being polished and enlightened, ,want that gene-'
rosity, that discretion, and that temper, which, even in the
eyes of asforeigner, distinguished and
.tlignified
.ode ancestors
A moderate man cannot but lament those addresses and:
counter-addreurs,which threaten a general tumult, as they'
create disunion and enmity among tbe,inhabitantsof almost,.
'every county, and town, and village, intime kingdom. "The
slightest reflection must convi-oce its of the'evil and tine mad,
ness of such conduct. Let us take a single instance. Let us

Astronomy is,• of all the' Sciences the humar
intellect has brought forth, the most'sublithe it
its pursuits, and one'of *the most useful in its ap
plication. The object is the starry firmament
an object magnificent in itself, the contemplation
and study of which must expand the mind, and
elevate it to the throne of Omnipotent Wisdom.
It embi'aces 'the:utmost limits of space ; and, aid-
ed by Mathematics,' it explains the vast and com-
plicated motions of the celestial spheres, and
brings, as it were, the immensity of the Universe,
within the narrow compasS of the human mind.
By unfolding to our view a 'series. of stupendous,
effects, produced by a cause as simple in its na-
ture, -as it is varied in its operations, it,gradually
raises our hearts from " Nature to Nature's God,"
from the wonders of creation, to some faint idea
of its incomprehensible. Creator. Well, indeed,
might the Royal Prophet exclaim, in the enthu-
siasm which the splendour of the starry:firma-
ment cannot fail to awaken in every feeling
heart, " the Heavens declare the glory of the
Lord."
"Nature," says the eloquent Buffon, " is the
external throne of Divine. Majesty. , The man
who- studies, who contemplates it, rises by de-
grees to the internal throne of Omnipotence."
Gifted with sensibility and intelligence, man
seems, indeed, formed for the contemplation of
Nature : but, though this delightful pursuit
warms his heart, and amuses and interests the
mind, it cannot prodube within us the same ele-
vated sentiments, the same sublimity of ideas,
which are produced by the study of the heavens.
Amidst the manifold wonders of Creation,hone
indeed, more eloquently proclaim the existence
of a Great First Cause, than the innumerable
Suns and SysteMs which are scattered throughout
the immensity of space. In the Wide field, which
is here unfolded to the feeling and reflecting man,
wherever he turns, whatever becomes the object
of his attention, he every., where discovers the
greatest possible order, united to the greatest
possible harmony. •PlaCed, as it Were, in the
centre of the Universe, and endowed with judg-
ment and sensibility, he .casts' an inquiring glance
around him ; lie surveys and admires. Amidst
the solemn silence of-slumbering nature, he gazes
upon the glory of the starry firmament, with
mingled, sentiments of admiration and ay.e. In
the innumerable and glitte.ring specks with which
the vaulted Heavens are decked, he sees vast In-
mineus bodies, placed at incalculable distances
from . the earth, which dispense light and heat,
and fertility and life to millions of planets, inha-
bited, 'prebably, by myriads of beings .no less
capable.than himself to discover and admire the
infinite perfections •of their Author, in the most
magnificent, and the most stupendous of hisworks.
.In the midstof a scene So vast, this earth, nay-the
whole Solar System, seem but a point in space,.and
man, only an imperceptible atom in the Universe.
If this reflection wound-his. noble pride, he soon
derives consolation frem the amazing poWers of
his mind, which prove him to hold no contempti-
ble rank, even in the vast scale of Creation. -• As-
tronomy may, indeed, be justly 'considered as the
standard of the human intellect, and as the 'prac-
tical illustration of the singular elevation it is ca-
pable of attaining. Hence it follows, that no
other
,Science so powerfully excited the respect
and admiration of the greatest philosophers ()fan-
tignity, To contemplate:the Heavens, seemed to:
Anaxagoras, the -only end • for. :which he was, -cr,e-
ated., Plato affirined .that eyes were, given to'
man for no other purpoSe ; and .Pythagaras, the
celebrated sage of Samos, recommended no other,
'studies to his disciples but those of nature and
of virtue.

Picture of Cupid And Psyelue. 'rhere seems to bei but one
Opinion on the exqnisite: beauty of its colour, and from the
jrldgMent of Artists and Connoissenti of celebrity and ii town

first water whieh challenges comparison with the purest spe-
cimens of any Master deposited in tilt; (*Weeks of England.
The bosom, the arms and head of PsYclie, form a pet fc-ct
Study of colour, and her expression is very sweet and eogag-
ing, and her features beautiful. - Cupid is not so happy,
though the same uncommon Leant Y of colour runs through
his whole hgure; the drawing • of the extremities iE for the.

ing of his figure, which are perceived when the first delight
subsides, of finding the picture of aytiong Etsglsh Artist,
possessing all the beauty and delicacy of Wehrle,' tints---tri.tl)
of colour, and perfect isaritiony, which we have been told
only belonged to the Masters of Ita:y.
.We do not lil4 the

Mr. Etty will waste .his talents if he continues to paint-lucre
jumping from rock's, or the'hickneyed subject of Cupid and
Psyche, unless he takes up this latter subject nit more 'esx-
t ended scale. His poweis are very great in his art, anit we
hope to see them applied to subjects winch will stamp him as
a man of taste as Well as all aspirin4_Attist.
The Imi:ortuutile N 0.12 ; Mr. G. S. NEW-resic.-L- '
Let every Author, who has ever annoyed his friends, with
-reading to then) his Wcrh's,- take a' leison.from this Picture,
and cease to annoy hy such iil--manner'd vainly. An author
with the belief so common to his' race, that his production •
is admirable, and with 'the ardent desire that it should be
telt and understood as he both feels and understands it, ba-
.bited in the distuase of Trance in the age of ,Louis 14th, has•
fast hold of a gay young spat k reading to - hifit -with fervour
his last composition, totally uneonOons that the gay to-
tlrrrif) is nearly exhausted with being "4.,oecti," and which
feeling is ininiitahly dt picted on his' face, With-loareittociety
as he looks' at his time-piece to see if the hour of his assig-
nation is past, for such we-leant it to he by the billet-doux
in his sash. Action and enthusiasniare in every-line and touch
of the Author; while languid- exhausti,m, with a little irri-
tation about one leg, is conveyed by the figure of the yonng
Lot4ario. Tti relief is very powerful, and would have been
so throughout the whole Picture, if the mass of green on
the left had not
,been,too strong for its opposing colour, the
red costuitte of the gallant; though the drawing of the hands
is very good; 'a little more clearness in the outline wun!d
have added to the calve of this Picture, which will ever at-
tret attention, and bids us anticipate a repetition of amuse-
Meta front the pencil of Mr. Newton..
4j 47nieitt Ci!!,,—.lluo,ilight.—T. C. HOFLAND.-7-This is
a composition which 'reflects • the highest -praise on
flndand.—The first impression •on the eye 'is peculiarly
agreeable, arising front the unison of 'the principal architec-
tural lines, is lilt those of the landscape, which must Kaye had
its origin in design, or a fiue senie of that necessary, yet too
often negnLted point, in the composition of landscape.—
There is a solemn Stillness in the scene, and a grandeur its
the coisstt oction of the buildings of tie city-, which evince
great. taste in the Artist. The back-ground is highly finish-
ed, and touched with a Masterly-pencil—the effect produced
by the touches of red, which are not perceived until very
!tear, is a proof that Mr. Holland is a close observer of na- •
ture.—There is a simplicity its the well-drawn figures near
the fore7gumod, which adds to t!,ie beauty of this well-ma-
naged consposition.---A view on the River Usk, a finely touch-
ed little Picture, full of brehdtis and tone, of a Waterfall,
from a well-selected spot on the banks of a, heaut iful River.
Pica: neg?' Porloi k, • Somerset, No, G. SA-
Muf:L.,--This we esteem the finest production of the Artist.—
'flue scene is picturesque—the whole carefully panted, and
-firmly pencilled, particularly the withered trunk of a willow
in the fore' ground,wtuch is equal both its drawing. blended
tints, and troth to tiatut e, to any thing we know of the Eng-
lish School—the fore-gronod 'is ii ettily• broken, and the-
figures more graceful than any we ever sass' of Mr.Samuers—
the sky is happily managed, and tasteful in the forms of the
clouds.— Mr. Nonners other Pictures pOssess great merit,isini
are all pridueed fiy what may be termed honest work, and
will improve.as •they grow Uhler. Bit the green is too pre-
dominatit in them all, and they have in general a harshness
front their deficiency its elaziug and tuning. - •
Lancer,i, No. 243.—When we first saw this little Picture,
the gloominess of the atmosphere prevented us fruits appre-
ciating it as much as it deserves. There it a correctness,
firmness, and cleartiesS in the drawing bath Of the soldiers
and horse's, and the delicate Outs of the latter make: it evi-
dent that Mr. Hayter paid great attention to the animals
while st udying, the effects produced on them.—The leafing of
the tree is Very delicate, and when the lialst is sufficiently
strong the eff,et i pleasing, though wanting its form:. The
versatility of tlr. Hayier's tale tits motes us hope that some
superior subject from his pencil will grace the.. Gallery ttext

Landscape Cant p,s7tion, No. 27G ; —Mr. P. WALKER.—'Phis
Coot position is a proof of Mr. tVallser's taste 'and capability,
and if be will obliterate the fi.stres shipping 'about ut the
fore-ground, his picture will gain him commendation ; but
now they so attract the eye that they call the attention from
admiring the composition of the Landscape, to be amused at
the drollery of the figures;
Dracut:UM, S•mtcr.set,2l6;•--Mll. T. wiLsoN.—or the nu-
merous p ctures exhibited of this artist we prefer that of Dui-
cot Mill, in which there is laborious management to produce
a simple yet beautiful off,-at. The manner in which the
streaMing tight is conveyed is very similar to one of the most
admired points in the hest winks of Both, while'the sparkling

pictures tell Its that he aleliglits in contemplating the most
puscen ful eppnsition in the effects of nature ; and that bi eadth,
deep and, solemn tones, and rustic scenery have been imprinted
deeply un his mind. Mr- Wilson is often careless in leasing
his derni-t int s harsh, and in one or two instances has .injured
'his winks by a want of clearness ;ti his deeper, tones when

The following, we are assured,. is a more cor. •
reCt Sketch of what was said by Mr. MARTIN on
Friday night in the -House. of Commons on, Lord
Motion, than has hitherto been
:---
(Mr. MARTIN preceded tire Attorney-General)-e-, - •
Mr. M. begged leave, iu the fast instance,. ti address him-
self to the consistency of the House, and to remind thins of
what occurred late in the last Session.—Heaopealed to the
recollection of every Gentleman. whether the question of the
Liturgy was not repeatedly under consideration; and
ther it. was nut, for the last time in that Session, discussed lit
conjunction.with a Motion for an Address to her Majesty.— •
The legal right of the Quests to be named in•the Liturgy' •
was then hardly lisped by those tongues which now vociferate' •
with such emphasis that rii,ht which it seemed they had then.
abandoned.
In proof of an almost unanimous opinion on that subject,
we voted an Address to her Majesty, calling 'by '
on her to acquiesce in the step taken by the King iiirCouncil.:
and. by which step her Majesty's name was nut, methe deatli
of the late King, ordered fur insertion in the Liturgy, and -
praying her Majesty to be assured, that by such conduct she -,
would -be exalted in our opinion. Ido Out affect to report.
the eloquent expressions used by the Member fete Brambir ref •-•
in that Address—l. state the import only. To•thii AtidtesS
unfortunately, after itteffectual negotiation, the Queen was'
recommended by some. very mischievous Counsellors to ex-
press a firm, but respectful dissent. Thus stands ttje bet: •
It is • very clear then, that in Jane last we 'thought it nut'
right toi call on the King to retrace his steps,.ur to rettart_,
his opinion; and in accordance with this our opinion, we.
voted the Address. Let me ask, is it becausethe-Qn'atiwis
then iutlusnced by Counsellors, alike the betras'ers 'of her
'Majesty and the people?. Is it,.he said, for this reason that
the [louse wire to compliment her who rejected their inter-'
position at the expellee of the Administeation, kOlo a9stntea
to the proposal of a Gentleman generally oppostil to the
.Noble Lord and his colleagues ?
'Mr. MARTINI said, when he heard that Address read, he
hardly expected that with some modificarien,liiiM.,jesty's'
Ministers would have assented to it. That they did so is-tv
their immoitailionour. It was un their: part a peace-offering.
and is it ajust ieturn for such conduct tai'eorue to the Hess, •
lotion proposed by the Noble We're were he
knew who•might think almost in the words of the Itesolu-
tion, that her Majesty's exclusioo from the Liturgy. was not
called for at the time by any stroligSfate necessiq.: But
notwithstanding this, Mr. Martin asserted that even those •
who- are.of that opinion, ought to vote tor the adjimpiroent,
which was the• previous question ; and fin- this•reason; fleet;
by so doing, they in nu way gave -up their private opinion,
th•ough they declined to conic. to a solemn vine, directly ex-
pressive of that opioioo,,inasmueli as such vote would in stair-,
stance convey it recorded censure, and•call for the resignaL''
lion of the Admiuistration Which was in fhe'eouteMplation
of very few.
The Gentlemen ,opposite say, insert thenameof her Ma-
jesty in the Collects and Liturgy of our ; because, bd.
Majesty has vanquished a foul Conspiracy, insinuating t hat'
the Conspirator's -were the government, and, to speak out,
his Majesty at their bead. .While.soch language w.t, w
was utterly impossible to call on the' King to' itistrt the •
'Queen's name iu the Liturgy.

WEEKLY RETROSPECT.

If the past seven days were to be considered
solely as a Week of EVENTS, the record might be
summed up in a paragraph ; but if it has not
been pregnant with facts, it has given birth to
OPINIONS, so numerous and so diversified as to de-
serve a progressive developement. 'Midst the jar-
gon of political parties, it was pleasing to contem-
plate the unanimity of Christian. benevolence,
at the Meeting of the Educational Clothing So-
ciety, at the Mansion-house, a degree.ef tranquil
discussion, most unhappily contrasted by the con--
fusion of the Oxeolto Address Meeting, which,
from the encouragement of a very broad hint as
to the rights of " non-freeholders," afforded a
very clear, though not very consoling specimen of
what might be expected from Universal Suffrage
—that is, just as long as Universal Suffrage
should fail to produce its certain ultimate result
of paralyzing all the energies of the moderate
and well.meaning in all classes of Society, of ren-
dering that which can be enjoyed by all of no
apparent or exclusive value, and of throwing the
direction of public affairs into the hands of a
Junto in each district, until our Elections, instead
of displaying the independent, though noisy,
manoeuvres of party, would dwindle into some-
thing like the well known " Caucus" of Ameri-
can politics, which enables the Antifederalists to'
carry every Election individually, though in the
aggregate their representatives have not yet been
able totally to overturn the federal system.
With the Royal Speech, not even the OPPO-
SITION could find fault, except in regard to its
supposed omission of Agricultural Distress! But
what can the -Legislature do in this case ? It is
agreed that new Laws are more likely to do
harm than good. To afford grants or bonusses to
the Agricultural, must be at the expence of all
the other classes. Even to repeal all the Taxes
which may bear direct upon Agriculture, will
only require new taxes in other quarters as little
able to bear them ; for is remains yet to be shewn
that even a reduction of one million in annual ex-
pence is really in the power of Government-. Be-
sides the reduction of a Tax is not the certain
and absolute reduction of an evil ! Surely nobody
can have forgotten the taking off the war malt tax
of taco millions and a half—yet what was the con-
sequence? Did the poor malt get his pint of
porter ane farthing better or one farthing cheaper?
o ! certainly not ! Then who was relieved ?
The BREWERS !—a class amongst whom we have
so many PATRIOTS!
But this reminds us of a very important fact,
that amidst all the Agricultural distress, the in-
- habitants of LONDON and its ENVIRONS—a full
seventh of the English population—pay now as
dear for all the necessaries of life, as they did
before the Agricultural distress was ever spoken
of!—There must be large profits somewhere; and
in these the farmers-would participate under a
better system. But that system does not rest
with 'MINISTERS! One Agricultural advocate, in-
deed, tells us that the " Agriculturists cannot
find bread to eat"—a very strange circumstance
when their complaints arose from the fulness of
their own barns—but we shall hint to that advo-
cate that a reduction of rents will do much, and
that a Reduction of Farms will do much more,
making Industry part of the fanning capital, in-
stead of being, as now, part of the farming ex-
peaces, enabling every specks of land to be cul-
tivated at less expence, and ultimately reducing
the POOll7l RATES !
But a new Panacea has been found for all
our privations in the restoration, or rather the
insertion of the QUEEN'S name in the Liturgy !
How that is to operate we are not told, except
that it is " to put a stop to all agitated feelings ;"
and, consequently, to the numerous meetings by
which the course of industry and of labour has
been so much interrupted. That such has been
the case is evident from the numerous Addresses
to Parliament upon that subject; and we can have
no doubt that many of the Addressers would have
been more usefully employed at their looms and
their lapstones, than iu investigating the merits of
the Liturgy.
To have a right of Address and Petition is one
thing: but to have the capacity of exercising that
right so as to influence the National Councils is
another. As for the " Hammerinen" of PERTH,
and the " Journeymen" of DUMFRIES, they are
no doubt very respectable in their way ; but
what Presbyterians of that class in Society can
know about the Liturgy of the Church of Eng-
land, is a matter not so easily understood. Let
us suppose that the " operative sawyers" of Lon-
Oh and -Westminster were to present au address
respecting the internal management of a Brew-
ery in Chiswell-street ; or that the "Ship caulk-
ers" of Redriff were to march in procession to
COVENTR:Y to lecture upon ribbon weaving !
what would be the replies to such meddling inter-
ference ? why! to keep their cross cuts for their
own sasvpits ; and to caulk and pay their own
seams at home, without dipping their tar brushes
in other peoples buckets !
Yet these are the people whose opinions are to
weigh against the recorded opinions in the Gazette
addresses emanating from almost all the wealth,
all the property, and all the real learning and
knowledge of the nation ! It is indeed the fashion
—.fox the WHIGS to affirm, not only that they have
_7 got all.. the talent themselves, but also nine-tenths
Ad the, public opinion on their side ; and such as-
s -;i6M-tions, if not contradicted in time, might have
their undue effect and force : but they must be
met by flat denial ; for no other mode is left, the
WHIGS having shewn themselves, even in the
past week, capable of standing up with unblush-
ing fronts to misunderstand, misrepresent, and to
misapply a word which we cannot even call un-
guarded—but we are sick of the " farce," and
there we leave them.

GRAND DINNER
IN CELEBRATION (IF THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
MAJESTY'S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE.

Yesterday a numerous and unprecedentedly
respectable company dined at the City of Lon-
don Tavern, in commemoration of this event, so
truly interesting to every loyal and constitutional
feeling of Englishmen. The demand for tickets
was beyond all former_ example great, and the
splendid and commodious room of this Tavern
was found but ill-calculated to accommodate the
numerous applicants, and consequently an im-
mense number of 'Gentlemen were disappointed
in their endeavours to 'obtain tickets. Amongst
the company present we distinguished the fol-
lowing

John Plumer, M P., E. J. Collett , M Direct, M.P. J.
Mansfield, M.P., M. Cheere, Gemetal Browne, B. Bar-
nard, Esq., A. Chapman, Esq., Sheriff of Dublin, Alderman
Derley, Recorder of Dublin, John Hall, Esq. Chairman of
the Committee, Chevalier Mollevo, Chevalier Mollevo, jun.
Lieut. Gen. Hart. M.P., Charles Barclay, Esq., Robert West-
ley Hall, Esq. Sl!erill. of Essex, F. Dighton, Esq., J. Nicholl,
Esq., W. Thompson, M.P., Sir Walter Stirling, Alderman
Bothwell, Alderman C. Smith, Alderman Birch, Alderman
Scholey, Sir Robert 'A'igrain. 'l'. Ellis, M.P , Alderman It.
Shaw, M.P., Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir Wm. Curtis, M.P.
Chairman, Alderman Sir Charles Flower, Alderman Atkins,
Alderman Heygate, M.P., Alderman Magnay, Sir H. Wright
Wilson, M.P., Thomas Wilson, M.P., Sir F.Ommaney, M.P.,
Brice l'earse, W. Curtis, T. Mellish, T. A. Curtis, James
Curtis, J. Shore, 0. Hatch, - Brooks, - Hartshorne,
N. Gould,-----Jackson, Esquires, Col....Johnstone, &c. &c.

The presence of the Lord Mayor and other
Members of the Corporation of Dublin contri-
buted greatly to add to the splendour and inte-
rest of this gratifying occasion, and their arrival
at the door of the tavern was hailed by the en-
thusiaAic acclamations of an immense crowd,
who were assembled to obtain a Niew of these
distinguished guests.
Long before the appointed hour every seat
was occupied, by an assembly of Gentlemen
unequalled in respectability and eminent for
wealth.

At half past six o'clock Sir -W. CURTIS took
the Chair, amidst the reiterated acclamations of
the company. The dinner was worthy of the
important occasion which gave rise to it, and
consisted of every delicacy and laxury that the
season affords.

After the cloth was withdrawn, Non Nobis
Damine was sung by the professional gentlemen,
amongst whom, in the liberal spirit with which
this entertainment was conducted, were com-
prised all the most popular talents of the day.
The worthy Baronet then rose. He said, he
was about to propose a toast, which, he felt the
most perfect confidence, would meet with the
most enthusiastic and ardent acquiescence of the
company. He regretted that he should be the
organ, although lie felt at the same time a plea-
sure in being so, of bringing to their attention the
name of an individual, the mere mention of whom
was sufficient to excite the most powerful feelings
of loyalty and pleasure in the mind of every true
Briton. They had met there that day to cele-
brate an event dear to every loyal mind, and
which opened to the country a prospect of un-
alloyed brightness, in the contemplation of the
reign of a Prince, unsurpassed in patriotism,
and unequalled in- commanding and eminent
talents ; a Prince, who, nurtured by a Father
whose virtues and shining qualities had been
the cause of unfading and lasting glory to
his people, and whose memory would ever be
held sacred in the breast of every lover Of his
country—he would repeat, then, a Prince who
bore evident testimony of his education under so
bright an example, which was made manifest by
his high Constitutional principles, and by his
faithful adherence to the strict letter and princi-
ple of the Coronation Oath—(Bear, hear !)
by'which he considered himself bound in duty to
protect the rights and liberties of the subject. In
such a state of things, could they do otherwise
than rally round a Throne which had been at-
tacked by blasphemy and sedition, which was
almost tottering under the baneful effects of ir-
religion and contempt for all lawful authority—
could they, 11€ would say, refuse to set their faces
against such proceedings, and to shew to the
country and the world that they were resolved to
sacrifice every thing in defence of those dear
rights, and that glorious Constitution, which our
ancestors had transmitted to us, and which was
at once the envy and admiration of the world.
He would not detain the company longer, but
would propose" The, health of his Majesty King
George the Fourth."—Four times four.
We totally despair of giving even the most faint
idea of the enthusiasm and fervor with which this
toast was received. The whole of the company
stood up, and by the most ardent acclamations,
the waving of handkerchiefs, and every other
possible mode, evinced their zeal and sincerity of
loyalty.
This toast was followed by the national air of
God setae the King, which was most ably sung
by Messrs. Leete, Hawes, T. Cooke, King,
C. Taylor, &c.
The worthy CHAIRMAN then proposed the
health of the Royal Family, which was received
with the usual demonstrations of loyalty and re-
spect, and was followed by the glee of Hail Star
of Brunswick.
Sir 'WILLIAM CURTIS said, he felt how inade-
quate he was to convey to those gentlemen how
dear a gift had been bequeathed to them by their
ancestors in the bequest of that Constitution
which was the pride and glory of Great Britain.
Feeling, in common with every man present, how
great a boon had been bestowed on them, he was
satisfied of obtaining in this instance their una-
nimous support. lie could not avoid expressing
his opinion on this occasion, when a party in the
country, contemptible as to both talents and pro-
perty, had espoused the cause of disaffection and
consequent revolution, that he was, for one, not
at all surprised at it, since it was natural to ex-
pect that the strongest advocates of revolution
would be those who had nothing to lose. The
Hon. Baronet then gave as a toast—" The Con-
stitution ;" which was drank with three times
three and loud cheers. Glee—Here in cool grot.
The CHAIRMAN then gave as a toast—" The
two Houses of Parliament, and may they be free
in their judgments, and firm in their resolves."
A comic song by Mr. Charles Taylor—This is
Liberty's. Cause. This was received with loud
plaudits and peals of laughter.
The CuAlz*Ax rose and observed, that al-

though they had iu the second toast drank the
Royal Family collectively, the name of an Illus-
trious Individual, who was dear in recollection to
all present, had been purposely omitted, in order
that he should be identified with that class or or-
der of men to whom this country was so emi-
nently indebted. Need he mention the brave
British soldiers, who had carried the standard of
England so triumphantly over the territories of
our enemies ?—(Loud cheers and applause:)—He
would therefore give them—" The Duke of
York and the Army."—Three times three. and
coltinued applause. Glee—How merrily we
live that Soldiers be.—Toast—" The Duke of
Clarence and the Navy."—The band struck up
the national air of Rule Britannia.—Toast—
" Old England, and those who don't like it let
them leave it."—Song—,Britain's bulwarks arc
her wooden walls.

The CHAIRMAN said, he thanked God he had
once again the pleasure and high gratification of
seeing their honest faces at a meeting of this
truly patriotic character.—(Loud cheering.)—
There were a number, and far the greater num-
ber of persons present, who were included in the
taunts of the enemies of social order, as bankers
and merchants. He was happy and proud to say
ahere were many there of the classes of mer-
chants, bankers, and traders of the City or Lon-
don, and no doubt most of those present would
be happy to -be enrolled amongst those who were
most deeply interested in the welfare and pros-
perity of the great metropolis of the empire, and,
he would add, the world.—(Cheers.)—ln this
conviction he would give them as a toast---" The
City of London and its Commerce."—Glee.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that no doubt the
meeting would ere this have expected he should
have said something of himself, and of his friends
in the Corporation. As for himself, he found it
was a subject of comparative insignificance com-
pared with the great cause he had to support
that evening. It struck him that it was, how-
ever, necessary, in passing, to remark, that
whilst some malignant minds abroad thought it
advisable, for unworthy purposes, to state that
this meeting was for a party purpose, he could
with confidence assure, not them, for they were
beneath the notice of every honest man—(Ap-
plause)—but the public at large, that they were
met for the purpose of celebrating an event dear
to their recollection, and also to support the
legal and constituted Authorities of every class,
however it was to be lamented that they were
not unanimous in the support of the same good
old cause.—(Cheering and laughter.)—He should,
in testimony of the sincerity of this feeling, give
" The Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
London."

Mr. Alderman BIRCH thanked the company
most sincerely for the high honour which had
been done that body to which he belonged, and
from which he regretted that in au evil hour they
should have been separated in sentiment. Dan-
gerous and disastrous had been the innovations
and inroads made in society by the poison of se-
dition and treason disseminated by a flagitious
press, and active agents to the very remotest
bounds of the empire, which had not stopped
short of offering even an insult to the Throne.
But there was yet a remnant in the Corporation,
small perhaps in number, but bold and true in
heart, and in allegiance to their Sovereign and the
Constitution of the country. There were men
who would be found not backward in the day of
trial, who cherished their allegiance as our fore-
fathers had done of yore, and would be willing to
stand by those principles to the death. They
were aware that it was not only their duty to
stand forward and avow those sentiments at
all hazards, but they were determined to act on
that resolve, and to act boldly in defence of their
opinions, should the circumstances of the times
require exertion and sacrifices.—(Hear, hear!)—
He felt it was impossible to treat a subject of
this importance in a way which could add to their
hilarity or enjoyment—the objects of the meet-
ing were grave and momentous ; but whilst they
could not fail to awaken the most lively interest,
they afforded the most sincere subject of congra-
tulation to the party assembled, and the empire
at large. He concluded with drinking the health
of the company present and their worthy Chair-
man.

The CHAIRMAN then said, he felt quite inade-
quate to express the feelings of respect and at-
tachment which he entertained for the steady con-
duct of the Gentlemen who had favoured them
with their company that evening from the sister
Isle ; he meant the Lord Mayor and Deputation
of the Corporation of the City of Dublin.—
(Hear, hear !)—They happily spoke in their
own persons the sense of the people of Ireland,
and it was a felicitous omen iu this quarter, that
whilst the enemies of social order were but too
successfully sowing the seeds of discord and dis-
affection in our own bosoms, their arts had totally
failed in Ireland, the population of which, to a
man, had resisted every temptation to unite inany
of those Addresses which it was obvious must only
tend to embarrass the proceedings of the Le-
gislature, and compromise their characters by a
premature disclosure of their sentiments, pre-
viously to their having an opportunity of making
up their minds on a solemn question of a judicial
nature. They had wisely abstained from enter-
ing with ill-advised zeal into the discussion of a
topic which had been productive of but too much
irritation on this side of the Channel, and they
had reaped the reward of this conduct in the en-
joyment of an unanimity of feeling, and diffusion
of tranquillity throughout the country. He should
therefore give them " The health of the Lord
Mayor and the Deputation of the Corporation of
Dublin, who had honoured them with their corn-
pany•"—(Three times three, with loud and con-
tinued cheering, and waving of handkerchiefs.)
After the tumult of applause had in some
degree subsided, the Lord Mayor of Dublin,
Mr. Alderman KING, rose. He hoped the
meeting would make allowances for the diffi-
dence which he felt at rising to address an
assemblage which he might with truth de-
signate the first for enlightened sentiments
and distinguished worth in the country. He
was happy to say his sentiments were those of
the Body he had the honour to represent, and
that they were in unison with the political feel.

ngs which he had that day avowed with an nna-
inimity unparalleled. He felt pride in standing
forward with that Corporation, as the represen-
tative of the popular sentiment in the Irish Me-
tropolis, where at least the Corporation was una-
nimous in displaying an unshaken and steady at-
4achrneint to the Parson and Government of his
Most •Oraciofs Majesty, and,--the glorious Con-
stitution, whtcliewas despifetf the arts
and malignity of its enemies, our boast and our
birth-right.—(Loud applause.)—lf he had taken
his opinion of the sentiments of the public in this
metropolis from the representations of the
Radical Press, he never should have calcu-

lated on the possible existence of a meeting
such as this, either for zeal, wealth, or influ-
ence. —(llear, hear, hear !) This proved a
fact most important in itself, namely, that
notwithstanding what had been i❑ some dissatis-
fied and mortified quarters said to the contrary,
that the aggregate feelings of the respectable and
enlightened part of the community were perfectly
in unison in Ireland and this country, and that
eventually both should be considered an united
people.--(Applause.)--lle felt not the least
doubt from what he had witnessed, that the citi-
zens of London and Dublin would go hand in
hand together in defence of our great national
interests, and in defiance of his Majesty's ene-
mies. In return for the kindness and honour
conferred on him, he begged leave to propose
the health of their excellent and worthy Chair-
man.—(Loud applauses.)—The toast was drank
with three times three.

Sir Wm. CURTIS, in rising to return thanks,
said, that his Right Hon. Friend had done him

too much honour. He felt his own unworthiness
of the high distinction that had been conferred
upon him; he had done no more than his duty,
no more than any other man would have done.
He stood there before them, he would say a loyal
man, and he must confess, a proud man—they
had made him proud, by having placed him at
the head of a company, unequalled in respecta-
bility, in eminence, and in wealth, by any that
had ever assembled upon former occasions. He
felt the weight of their kindness in the fullest de-
gree. He could not stop here ; he had long been
distinguished by their notice and favour ; h e
was indebted to them, and to those Gentlemen
who advocated similar principles, for support
and countenance for upwards of 30 years.
It was to the loyal citizens of London that he
owed every thing ; they had placed him in the
most dignified situations, and had, to crown all,
elected him to the highly important situation of
one of their Representatives in Parliament ; for
this he felt more especially grateful, and above
all, for their exertions in the last election, when,
although a faction, or by whatever name his
opponents might be designated,had succeeded in
throwing him out for a time, their exertions had
proved triumphant in defeating his enemies and
theirs, and in electinc, him the seventh time their
Representative. Although he could have hardly
wished himself to have been again placed in that
eminent situation,. he felt a pride in fighting their
battles, and though old, he was still tough, and
would prove himself to have something of the
British oak in his composition; that although old,
he was still firm and strong. It had been his pride
to have preserved the same line of consistent
political conduct during the whole course of his
long public life ; and he could justly boast
of never having swerved for a moment from
any one political principle with which he set out.
His satisfaction was the more perfect because he
was convinced that those principles, which he
had ever thought it his duty to advocate, had
saved the country. He had not been exempt
from the temptations of persuasion and interest
to induce him to quit that consistent line of con-
duct which he had ever pursued. He was not to
be led aside, by any considerations, from what he
considered the line of his duty to his Sovereign
and his country ; and he could assure them, that,
as they had seen in past times that he had re-
mained unchanged, so he could assure them, that
they would find him still the same for tile pre-
sent, and as long as Providence might suffer him
to remain amongst them.
This toast was followed by The Sprig of Shit-
lelah, which was sung in excellent style, and
amidst continued applause, by Mr. Charles Taylor.
Sir WILLIAM CURTIS then, in an appropriate
speech, proposed the health of Mr. Thomas Wil-
son, M.P. for the City of London. •
Mr. WILSON felt himself very ill qualified to
perform the important duties which devolved
upon him as Member for the City of London, the
greatest Metropolis of the Empire.—(Hear, hear!)
—He sincerely hoped his constituents would not
extend to him that honour longer than he con-
tinued to uphold the sacred duties of the Con-
stitution, and the unalloyed expectations of our
Holy Religion.
Poculuin followed in excellent style.
Sir WILLIAm Culms—We have heard of hole-
and-corner men. I have never been in the habit
of doing things in a corner.—(A laugh.)—l am
now about to give you a toast which I think you
will all agree with—l am about to propose to
you one of the greatest men in the metropolis,
and, indeed, in the nation ; one of the most ho-
nourable men in the kingdom, who, with his col-
leagues, by the magnanimity of their conduct,
and by the honesty of their disposition, have sa-
tisfied the nation that they have only the safety
of their country ald the welfare of the people
at heart; I mean " Lord Liverpool, and his Col-
leagues in office."—(Loud cries of hear, hear!
mixed with very great applause.)
Mr. Speaker, though 'tis lute, followed this
toast.

The Worthy CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose
" the health of the Duke of Wellington, the pride
of his friends and the fear of his enemies," ac-
companied the Noble Duke's name with some
very appropriate allusions to the excellent vic-
tories he had achieved, and the dangerous battles
he had been engaged in, with a vein of good hu-
mour which afforded general satisfaction to the
company.

Sir W. CURTIS then proposed the health of the
Most Noble the Marquis of Huntley, with three.
Song—Auld Lang syne.
Sir W. CURTIS rose to propose a toast, which
he said h. was sure every gentleman would join

' him in most cheerfully. The Press was a most
important part of our political economy : but he
thought no one would deny that it was necessary •
to restrain it within certain bounds, beyond
which it became pernicious instead of conferring
benefits. Ile would propose " The Lil ,rtx. of •
the Presl/4 without licentiousness."—G
I;entekrhen bf.l2;neand..
*l.
S Cuttris felk ebnvlncvd ttna everr
must have been highly graVikl by the exertions'-3
which had been used to lay before them so mag-
nificent a banquet, and to afford them such ex-
cellent accommodation. Ile would say more,
that the splendour of the present meeting was
owing to the Stewards, whose zeal had operated
to bring about this festival. lie would propose
the health of Mr. J. Hall and the Stewards.

Mr. HALL returned thanks. He felt grateful on
behalf of himself and the Stewards for the Ilatte ring-
notice they had taken of him. He could say, with-
out boast, that he had ever considered it his duty
to put himself forward, whenever he.; thought he
might be useful in promoting any .goodca use or use-.
ful object. As the toast had connected him with
his fellow Stewards, and had reference to their
exertions for the entertainment of the company,
his brother Stewards and himself could not help
regretting that so many gentlemen were disap-
pointed in their endeavours to obtain tickets.
This was not less disappointing to the Stewards
than to those gentlemen who were unable to be
accommodated. There was one other subject to
which he must call the attenti Jil of the company ;
it was the circumstance that this meeting might
be considered as the example of a number of
other meetings in different parts of this kingdom,
to celebrate this interesting event. He would
therefore propose, as a toast—" Those Gentlemen
who are met to-day to celebrate his Majesty'
Accession."

The LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN here rose, aryl
said, that he could not depart without expressing
his great obligations to the Stewards for haying,
by their invitation, procured him the enjoyment
of the happiest evening of his life.
Ilis Lordship now proceeded to leave the
room, amidst the universal acclamations of the
company. Ile was accompanied by several of the
principal gentlemen present ; but Sir Wm. Cur-
tis remained firm to his seat, and by.his continued
and inexhaustible good humour protracted the
pleasures of the evening until a very late hour,
when we left the company enjoying the inter-
mixture of good cheer, excellent singing, ant
pleasant company, with as little determinatiou
to quit as if they had just commenced.
Previous to Sir W. CURTIS leaving the Chair,
Mr. McartAY rose, and suggested to the Com-
pany, that as the proceedings of the evening-
were drawing to a close, and had ended so mach
to the satisfaction of every one present, he could
not quietly depart without expressing his feeling.;
by way of a toast; he therefore proposed—" Our
next merry meeting, and may the commemoration
of this event be annual and permanent."--This
toast was received with acchunations by the com-
pany.

- The room was most tastefully fitted up for the
occasion. Over the Chairman, at the east end of
the room, was fixed a very elegant vuriegated
crown, intermixed with laurel, and surrounded
by a brilliant wreath, representing the Combined
emblems, the shamrock, the rose, and thistle.—
Beneath this, in transparent splendour, were sus-
pended the initiels G. It., carefully blended with
some variegated lamps. The orchestra was sup-
plied with an excellent band.

To the interest usually excited by the draw-
ing of a Lottery, a considerable share will be
attached to the present, as, independently of the
wish which adventurers zna,t naturally have for
the chance of the Six tt21,000 Prizes, theatteu-
tion of every body will, no doubt, be called to
the numbers which will obtain the Three Prizes
of -172;000, that will be drawn on Valentine's
Day, and which the Contractors give away.

The very great satisfaction the plan adopted iu
former Lotteries gave to persons residing ill the
country, has induced 'l'. 131sll to repeat it in the
present ; and he hopes he has, as in a very
re-
cent Lottery, selected some of the Six 1)21,00U,
or other Capitals, among those numbers adver-
tised : the following Numbers may be had either
in Whole Tickets, Halves, Quarters, Eighths, or
Sixteenths, at his Offices, 4, Cornhill, or 9
