!now arrived at that period of the evening when
he was called upw to fulfil it. The inhabi-
tants and freeholders of Petersfield, feeling
that gratitude which muss always • distill-
, guish good and honourable men; hact,dekkrMined,
‘a.A....a small token of their- dense of .the gent and
sjgnal seiNices,4'hiCh'had been renderekto them
by their much esteemed and excellent friend,
Mr. XTCHESONi to present him with a Piece of Plate,
which they trusted that he would accept. After
some further observations, the Chairman, who
had received an elegant Silver Vase
.frum the
Committee of Management, who had advanced to
the upper end of the room, addressed himself to
Mr. ATcnusoN as follows :--

cc lam desired, Sir, to convey to you the
thanks, and to express the gratitude and esteems
of the Freeholders of this ancient and respec-
table Borough, for the very important services
which you have rendered- to them—services
which at once display the greatest perseverance
and talent, and a liberality of conduct at once
honourable to yourself and' highly beneficial to
our local interests. Through your exertions, vr°
are now restored to the exercise of important
political rights, which have long been usurped
from us. Our Charities, also, which have been
mismanaged and neglected, we have reason to
hope will now be placed upon a proper footiegf
and the intentions of their benevolent founders
fully carried into effect. I have now, in the
name of the Freeholders ands Inhabitants of Pe-
tersfield, to request your acceptance of this
Vase,and in their name to thank vou for all put
exertions in their behalf, and to congratulate you
on their successful termination. Permit me at the
same time to offer my own heartfelt congratulations,
and to wish you health long to enjoy this victorf
over a system of disgraceful and shameful cor-
ruption."—(The address was received with the
greatest applause, and it made a deep impression
on all present.)
Mr. ATCHESON then arose and said, c‘ Gentle"
men, my reception amongst you this day has bee,a
most gratifying to•my feelings. It is impossible
for me to express them ; and if I want words t°
convey to you an adequate ideaof them,l trust thatyou will forgive me, and not believe that I am the
less grateful. This last act of your kindness leas
made an impression upon me, which.is intlelihy;
It was altogether- unexpected. I had alre3
been amply repaid for my exertions in your cause;
by the zeal and interest which you have alwaY
displayed. This token, therefore, imposes ul'°a
me an obligation which I shall always cheerful"!
acknowledge, and endeavour to return, by ever
t,.
act of personal friendship and attachment that °lto
shew to you. I intend to reside here as rnechd
my professional avocations will permit; sn
ill
trust that many opportunities of so doing west
arise. Once mere accept my warmest and 1).00
thanks for this and every other kind attenn_a
which I have received from you."--(Long al'of
continued applause followed the conclusion
this address.) Af
