xiAcci,EsFIELD.

The Anniversary at our glorious Sovereign's
liicit) has Beets celebrated thts year in Maccles-
ti.ati 'with such a consent of genuine patriotic feel-
isg as will he remembered while the Town has a
isettord. If there evec existed a season its which
the pressure of distress mod the efforts of incen-
diaries might have been presumed to unsettle
owi,•4 minas anti to shake th:ir allegiance, it was
the Spring of 1617 ; hilt, as it is tic character of
virwoos 'energies to gather fres!, vigour and aoi-
Illation front the very difficulties in their way, so
okita-it happeni With us that .the full. fervour of
loyally has beers elicited by direct incentives to
di.;atrection. At the time when our Prince
'is termed a Despot, our Laws a tyrannical
toile, • and the Constitution a screen for pub-
lic felonies: when, if ever at any . lime,
the r whole system of our free Government
stesi•degraded and valueless in the eyes of the free-
born, the 4feople of Macclesfield have manifested
a just sense of the blessing enjoyed under those
auspicei, by e'stahlishiug a society the professed
object of which is to
.maintain with their lives
and fortunes, to the last, the Prince, the Laws,
and the Constitution. That .no private sentiment
Blight intertere 'to damp the public spirit, that
good and loyal men of every persuasion might
unite in the honest cause, that a liberal boundary-
line might admit no distinction but that of Friend
and Euemy to THINGS AS THEY ARE, the principles,
of the Gtoriout Revolution of 1688 were espoused
as the principles of this Club, " King and Con-
ititution", assigned its denomination, and the
Birtii•alay of that virtuous 'King, whose equal
care over all his subjects has conciliated the equal
lore of all deserving the name, was chosan for its
first Anniversary. •
'The looming of this .auspicious day resembled
theititnes in which we live, overcast with swim,
cloudy and scowling. But as the day advanced,
the glooms dissipated, the skies brightened, Rua
when the assembled society had retired front the
business of subscription to, the Convivial Table, a
8,19.10 tis setting Sun shed his radiance through the
windows of the: apartment, as it to indicate that
hovidence, which wrought deliverance for our
Isle, approved and would bless the dettign.
From an early hour the bells of the Churches,
with melody most pleasing to an English ear, had
announced its alternate peal 3 that no ordinary Ors
casion was at hand. The Union flag was ills.
played from the steeples. The Macclesfield laaa°
dims assembled in arms by 12 o'clock, under the
summand of Capt. Daintry. Every thing testis
fied the lively satisfaction with which the respect!
sale inhabitants of Macclesfield contemplated the,
.pledge that was this day to be given for their se
cut y and peace. At three, the Enrolment of
Names commenced, in a superb and splendid
Folio, of a magnitude which might perpetuate for
ages the Annals of the Society ; and in the space
of an hour ninety seven Gentlemen, comprising
the property and public worth .of the Town and
its immediate vicinity, had by signature made
public profession of their attachtneut to King and
lanisti:ution,---a profession which may be truly'
said, from the weight and influence it hears with
it, to he the effectual, preventive of any seditious
arsempts'previ.ottsly meditated in this part of the
Country,--a profession however, in which a few
well, disposed Itolisiduals have declined to join,
`doubtless from an entire misapprehension of its
object, its principle, and motive.
'the worshipful the Mayor of the Borough has'-
ing, in testimony of his public Services, been an-
ainmously elected President for the current year,
took the Chair at the hour of five, in the Great
Room of the Maceleinield Arms Hotel, where an ex-
cellent dinner, consistiog of viands not ler* submit-
tial than sumptuous, was served up under a he super-
intelidatice of Mrs. Punter.----After the clods was
drawn, the solemn Grace of Non nobis &mine was
• given In good style by Messrs. Keefe, Jones, and
Goostry,'whose performances dtiting the evening,
relieved occasionally by a select Band of
Instrunteotal Music, were creditable to them-
selves, and conducive to the Harmony of the
"kneeling. lo particular, the cheering Glee
" Life's a Bumper," and the melancholy, though
tastetol, Dirge " Peace,, to the Souls of the
Heroes," were received with an applause rarely
Better merited. The numerous toasts and scnti-
, mem. deli Sered front the Chair and by itliSiduals,
were given and received in the sane spirit, never
with•iodifference, Often, and especially where art
allusion to the times could be traced, with enthu-
siasm. We wish that it was in our power to do
ito,t ice to the glosatng sentiments emit eased by the
several speakers ; whose language apd ideas drew
inspiration from that love of liberty and law which
had givers rise to their assembly. Amidst the
conviviality of such an evening, few and faint in.

premeditation.,

the turbulence and iusubordination which charac-

prising the designs of theAftetions should have
been successful to so alarming an extent, when
it was evident' that under no Constitution had
the subject so entire a Security of Life and Pro-
perty, so rincontronled a freedom- of opinion
and action, a toleration of Religious IVorship,
so ansWerabie to every just clemitud, so folly
corresponding with the views acid wishes of
the subject himself. • This happy state of-.things
was due to that unrivalled Constitution of
,King,
Lords, and Com Mons, which had been transmitted
to us by our Ancestors, which we had bound our•
selves that day to defend, and which the worthy
President had termed with truth the pride of I.lli-
lain, anti the envy of the world. It was, for his
strong attachment to this admirable Constitution,
which he had known the worthy President to
entertain from his childhood, and because it had
been so strongly marked in his official capacity,
that the Rev. Gentleman should beg leave to pro-
pose his health.

this toast with observations to the followin, effect
—lie felt a pleasure without any'anatement in
proposing it, because it was, evident to all, that
not only the-opulent and middle classes of society
had conducted themselves as good Englishmen;
(hiring the tempests that had been abroad, but the
humblest class hail not shown a disposition to
mutiny : and now he trusted, and believed, that
their patience would be well rewarded, in the war—
rence of a title mole favourable to manufacture and
commerce. if the best authorities uultl be relied on,
the distress was temporary and even now passing
away : soon he cordiallyhoped for such an improve-
merit in the circumstances of the artisan as would
enable hint to pledge the permanence of the Con.
stitini9n, if not in Wil)C-1111 his. superiors did, at
least in the wholesome English be crage of ale.,
lie could not let the occasion pass without paying
his tribute to the steady and truly patriotic de..
mcanour of the Macclesfield Yeinnaury Cavalry.
But for them he believed the Town would have
been visited with most serious mischiefs from that
horde of Blanksteers..who had swept down upon
us like a tomtit froM the North, with designs, he
feared, of the: deepest. interest. The danger had
departed, the obligation remained. The Rev.
Gentleman concluded his address amidst the loud

tary, whose good offices were apecially in requi-
sition, are- entitled to the best thanks of every
Member of the Institution, for their exertions
preparatory to this novel and most interesting cc-
casion.

This Meeting will be remembered, as we have
raid, from the occasion which called it forth, and
for the unanimity-and soundliritish feeling which
characterised it, so long as Macclesfield shall
have a place in the records of time. The oldest
inbribitants of the iloroagh have no recollection
of an assembly needy so numerous, on any pub-
lic occasion. Every one seems to have felt the
strong impulse of duty, the persuasion that this
was the time for the avowal of principles, which
the want of union Hione bas censer' to sink in the
esteem of the. illiterate,—for the avowal of
loyalty to a Prince, who thieks no"sacrifice too
great for the good of his subjects, of respect for
an Administration whose %veil-timed vigonr has
saved the Country from confusion,, and of root-
ed attachment to that venerable Constitutiou,
which alone provides, and provides effectuality,
that the King shall be the Father of his Nu*.

Hitt Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT in-
tends to go by water, and will embark on board
the Royal barge at three: o'clock, on Wednesday,
front the gardens of File attune, the residence of
the Earl of LivettrooL. His Royal Highness
will be accompanied the Duke of YORK and
the Duke of XI/ELLINGTON. The Duke of Cost-
BaRLAND, and other Members of the Royal Fa-
mily, will also embark from Lord LIVERPOOL'S

Officers of State, the Privy Counsellors, the Trea-
sury Board, the Admiralty Board, the Navy
Board, the Household of the PRINCZ REcetrr,
the Household of the QUERN, &c. will embark it,
separate barges. A number of men-of-war's
boats (we
runderstand near thirty), under the
command Of Captain KING of the Royal Navy,
will form two lines in order to keep a clear pas-
sage for the State Barges. As soon as the
Pat NCe REGENT enters his barge, a signal will be
tiled flow the gardens of Fifellouse, and imme-
diately the firing will commence front wenty-
four pieces of ordnance which will be placed on.
Waterloo Bridge, and there will be as many dis-
charges as there wete pieces of cannon taken on
the glorious field of Waterloo. The moment of
the embarkation of Ills Royal Highness will also
be flunked by the elevation of four Itoyal Stand-
ards in the four recesses on the centre of the
Btidge, and of flags front all the other recesses.
The Procession will pass through the centre
arch of the ~Bridge, and having gone a few hun-
dred yards down the River, will return, and the
Pourca REGENT will land at the Seriey end of
the Bridge,. on the cast stairs; and his Royal
Highness, accompanied by the Duke of AVEL-
LIKOTOt4, and attended by the Cabinet Ministers,
weal Officers of State, &e. &e. will then walk
over the Bridge, and embark from the east stairs
4u the Middlesek side. The procession will go
a little way down the River, then return through
the centre arch, and the Pot NCH REGENT will

fenced of for the Proprietors; 1500 ~tickets arc
issued for them. The Procession oft ;the water
will be immediately under the direction of Cap-
Wit KING,:of the Royal Navy; but, we believe,.
