" The health of his Majesty's Ministers.--(Loud
cheers.)
Mr. PEEL again rose, and said—Gentlemen, I am
sure that I should meet with the severest disappro-
bation from my colleagues in the Ministry. if I
omitted this opportunity of returning you their ac-
knowledgments, and assuring you that they are
deeply sensible of the value of your good opinion.
I wish most sincerely that I could yield the duty of
returning our acknowledgments to one of my col-
leagues. I wish that my illustrious friend, the
Duke of Wellington—(loud cheers)—were present,
in order that he might perform the proper function
of the head of the Government, and, in person, as-
sure you of the value which he attaches to your con-
fidence.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed—
" The health of the Magistrates of the Division,
men who, in times that were pregnant with danger
and difficulty, had by their firmness and decision,
saved this country from destruction."—(Cheers.)
Colonel FLETCHER returned thanks on behalf of
his brother Magistrates. The present improved state
of the country was a proof, perhaps, of the benefit
which, though it did not become him perhaps to ad-
vert to it, had resulted from their exertions ; but,
to ensure the prosperity of this country, he thought
one thing should be principally looked to--he meant
the great question which agitated the sister country,
on the result of which depended the Constitution
in Church and State. (Hear.) In his humble
opinion all depended on the maintenance of that,
connection. If the least division or disunion were
suffered between them, it must ultimately lead to the
destruction of the country. He hoped and trusted
the Right Hon. Gentleman, whose sentiments they
were all acquainted with, would be found firm in the
preservation of this ark of their constitution; indeed
they had no cause to entertain any doubt of the Right
Hon. Gentleman. (Cheers.) If they did forsake
those principles which brought about the glorious
Revolution in 1688—if they deserted their God
now, who had then brought them through that tre-
mendous time—then did they deserve to be them-,
selves forsaken by him. (Cheers.) He trusted and
felt confident that the Right Hon. Gentleman -and
his colleagues would take care that no further en-
croachments were made on the Constitution, and
that the principles which brought the present Family
on the Throne of these realms would still be main-
tained, and that their God and religion would still
govern the land. (Loud and continued applause.)
Major WATKINS rose to give—" Prosperity and
perpetuity to the House of Peel."—Drank with loud
cheering.
Mr. PEaL again rose--So far as the exertions of
his family went to ensure their perpetuity they had
been tolerably successful. (Laughter and cheers.)
His father had had the happiness of seeing all his
children, nine in number, married, and become
themselves the heads of families : as for their pros.
perity he hoped all the descents of the family would
feel that the surest way to promote its prosperity
was to maintain a good name, and trust to that and
the protection of Providence for its temporal wel-
ware.—•(Hear, hear.)
Amongst the other toasts were, the healths of
Mrs. Peel; of Mr. Hulton, of Hulton ; and of the
Vice-President, the Boroughreeve of Little Bolton.
After which Mr. Peel apologized for being so soon
obliged to leave them, as he had to meet his friends
at Manchester, and shortly after he left the town,
cheered, as he proceeded, by the people.

VISIT OF MR. PEEL TO LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Mr. Peel arrived here from Manchester about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and proceeded to the
house of the Mayor (T. C. Porter, Esq.), where he
dined. This morning the bells of the parish
churches were set ringing in compliment to the ar-
rival of the Right Hon. Secretary, and most of the
vessels in the docks displayed their colours.
The visit of Mr. Peel to this place has excited
almost as much interest as was created by his ar-
rival in Manchester. The corporation determined
to present the freedom of the borough to their dis-
tinguished visitor. In coming to this resolution a
difficulty arose as to whether the freedom should be
presented in a gold box, and the council divided on
the subject, when the gift in a box was resolved
upon by a majority of twenty-five of the members
to ten. The minority on this occasion endeavoured
to support their opposition to the presentatiOn in a
DIM box, on the ground that Mr. Canning, Mr.
huskisson, and the Duke of Wellington, had re-
ceived the freedom of the borough in the ordinary
way, and without this additional mark of distinction.
It was urged by the other side that Mr. Peel was
the only individual who had visited the town, and
was to be enrolled among its freemen, while holding
the office of one of his Majesty's Secretaries of
State. This argument was held to be conclusive.
In the course of the forenotin Mr. Peel and his
lady, accompanied by the Mayor, Recorder, Mr.
Alderman Staniforth, and Mr. Foster, architect to
the Corporation, proceeded to St. John's market
(the largest of the kind in Europe), thence to the
and the King's
cemetery (which is also a curiosity in its way), arid
to the Royal tobacco
warehouses. constructing at
George's pier-head were also- visited by Mi.. Peel
and his party, who next proceeded to the Prince'.

Having passed along the Prince's dock quay on his
return, Mr. Peel. repaired to the Town-hall, for the
purpo3e of being enrolled among the freemen of Li:
