CHARTER-DAY OF THE BOROUGH

OF HARWICH.

A splendid Dinner was served up, at the, Three Cups
Inn; Harwich, on Monday, in commemoration of the Chit-
ter granted to their loyal and ancient Borough. JOHN
BAILEY, Esq., the late Mayor, presided.—Tbe company
was numerous, and of the first rank in the county: The
Toasts which followed the removal of the cloth were,—
" The King, and God bless him."—Three times three.
" The Duke of Clarence, and the other Members.of the
Royal Family."—Three times three.
" The Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Councils."
Three times three,—all of which were drank with the.
greatest enthusiasm.
• The Cfraramau then rose to propose another toast,
which he felt necessary to accoMpany by a few introduc-
tory remarks. Gentlemen, said he, the time is come, when
every man who loves the religion of which he is a member--
who has a proper regard for good order and good govern-
ment—who wishes not to see the pinto's of 'our 'glorious
Constituf • pulled down by the rude hand of violence—,
the time, I say, is come,. when .good men" should unite.
in one common cause, for the.protection of their religion,
liberty, and laws. The steps that have been taken in fa-
Your of Papists in Ireland, not merely by themselves, but
by Protestants who prate• about libeeality,i.Tenders it ne.;:
cessary for Engltihmon--,English Prot.eatants-4o =come
forward manfully in support of the Constitution. s I was
never so strongly impressed with the absolute necessity
of our doing so; as I was at a recent meeting,
where all the leading Gentry of the ' county were
assembled,—(The Hon. Chair Man. alluded Ito' the 'Col,
cheater Pitt Club. )—I have no hesitation in saying that as
his Majesty'S Ministers do not appear resolved. to make a '
firm stand against further eucroachments,-.-for encroach-
ments' I must term them,—the ' people of England are
.bound to take the matter into their own hands, and by the
formation of Brunswick Clubs, or other loyal Associations,
endeavour to uphold those principles on which the well-
being of the State mainly depends. I entirely concur
in the opinion which Lord Bexley has expressed in
his admirable letter. His Lordship pointedly says—
" It is for the middle classes, • in whom the whole sense
of the nation rests, to show to •Parliament the mind of the
country upon the Cithelic Question." I say so too—the
time is gone by when public opinion might be echoed by
the voices of indiiiduals. If Protestant England unites in
this great cause, Parliament can no longer he deceived by
the hypocritical and affected cant of liberalism and religious
Mleration, which latter is' but nnother name for Popish
domination.—(Hear, hear; beni.)—Gentlemen, with these
sentiments, I beg to propose—" Protestant Ascendancy"
which was drank amidst the most rapturous-cheering.
The CHAIRMAN then-guve--" Lord Eldon, the uncom-
promising champion of the Protestant religion."—"Lord
Bexley."—" The Cotporation of Harwich."," England's
last, best, and surest hopes, 'her Navy."—" The ArMy
of England, and may their laurels never fade."—" The
Men of -Kant."—" Church and .State."--" The Bishop
and Clergy of the Diocese."—" Sir Eliab Harvey and the
True Blues of Essex."—" The Members for the Borough,
the Right Hon. J. C. Herries and Sir Wm. Rae, Bart."—
" Sir Thomas Gooch and the True Blues of Suffolk."—
"Mr. Quintin Dick and the True Blues of Malvern."—
" Sir George Henry Smyth, M.P. and the True Blues of
Colchester."

Sir G. H. SMYTH returned thanks, and in doing so,
observed that he was glad of the opportunity of speaking
his sentiments boldly and honestly upon a subject that
now occupied so large a share of the public attention.—
" Gentlemen," said he, " you have done me the honour
to connect my name with ,the True Blues of the Bo-
rough I represent ;--you might have gone still fur-
ther, and connect me with the Brunswick Club, which
is now in a favourable state of organization, and of
which I am the firm supporter.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—
My Hon. Friupd, the 'Chairtrian, has well observed, that
this is no time to palter with the question, it is narrowed
to a single point--is or is not the Protestant religion to be
the Established religion of England'? If it be.nat, grant
Catholics Emancipation-4f it is to-be the pride ;rut:glory
of your country, unite for its preserVation!--(Hear, bear,
hear.)-1 very much fear that Ministers are inclined. to
make some concessions at the next meeting of Parlia-
ment,—strong minds have been subdued: They haVe
yielded to misrepresentations and falsehood—the middle
classes of the people are ignorant of the change--so that
it is our duty to call their attention to the subject, and pe-
titions iu abundance will pour into Parliament. The pre-
sent quiet of Ireland is only temporary-,.it is 'that tiea-
cherous calm which, generally precedes a storm—in fact, it
is attributable only to the presence of a powerful
army which the Duke of Wellington has found it
necessary to send over there. But 1 do not hesi-
tate to state my opinion, that if the Irish Catholics
had an opportunity, they would cut the throats of all the
Protestants.. The British Roman Catholics, I admit,
have not exhibited the same violence; but, until the fun-
damental principles of their religion be wholly changed,
we, as- Pt otestants, never Cdn trust them with safety.—
The Hon, Baronet concluded by expressing his hope that a
Brunswick Club wonld 010;117 lm established, 'embracing
the whole county of Essex,
The-company- did not separate until a late hour of the
• evening.

CHARTERED.GAS AND L.OKEI_:OMPANY.--•
Qo Tuesday evening a numerous Meeting, of the Proprieters
of the abut e Company was held at -the. Red Lion, Alders-
gatmtreet, Mr. Box in the Chair. After some dismission
respecting the affairs, of the Company, a Mr. Gregory
suggested that a General Meeting should be called for the
purpose of revising the bye-laws and investigating the ac-
counts. A requisition was prepared for the purpose and
the Meeting separated.
