MR. HUSKISSON.

(From the Manehestcr Guardian.)

We feel a high degree of satisfaction in laying before our
readers the following documents. Having invariably, to
the best of our abilities, advocated in this journal those
measures calculated to remove from trade the many incon-
venient and antiquated restrictions imposed on it in less
enlightened days, which it is the honour of Mr. Huskisson
to have originated, we cannot but be gratified at the testi-
mony borne by the Chamber of Commerce in favour of
that gentleman, at a time when his removal from office, and
the little prospect there is of his return thereto, gives a
character of perfect sincerity and disinterestedness to the
proceeding.

To the Right Hon. William 11usklason, M.P., sze.
Manchester Chamber of Commerce and
Manufactures, July 16, 1828.
Sir,—l have the honour to transmit a vote of thanks
from the Directors of this Chamber, expressive of the
obligations which they feel that the country is under for
the services you have rendered to it, in the important
offices of State which you have successively been called
upon to fill.
Of some of the measures of policy brought forward under
your sanction, the Board of Directors has before expressed
its favourable opinion, and although, with respect to others,
its Members may have occasionally entertained some degree
of doubt, they are desirous, on your retirement from office,
of conveying to you their honest belief, that the general
scope and tendency of those measures as a whole, have been
eminently conducive to the welfare of the community at
large, and demand from them the expression of their re-
spect and gratitude.
I feel particularly hary in being the organ of commu-
nicatidn, and in the opportunity thus afforded me of tie-
dating, individually, my hearty concurrence in the senti-
ments of my colleagues. I have the honour to be, Sir,
your most obedient, very faithful servant,
(Signed) GEO. WM. WOOD, President.

At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Manches-
ter Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, held the
16th of July, 1828: George William Wood, Esq., Presi-
dent, i■ the Chair— _

It was resolved unanimously,--That the thanks of this
board be communicated to the Right lion. William Hue-
kisson, late Secretary of State for the Colonies, for the en-
lightened, judicious, and valuable services which, whilst a
Minister of the Crown, he hat rendered to the commerce of
the conntry,—servims which have had for their object the
permanent prosperity of the State, and which it is the
sincere and deliberate opinion of this board will in their
general character and consequences materially promote the
true anJ lasting welfare of all classes of his Majesty's
subjects.
To George William Wood, Esq., &c.
Eartham, Petworth, July 20, 1829.
Sir,—Yonr letter of the 16th instant, transmitting to
me an unanimous resolution of the lioard of Directors
of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufac-
tures, was received by me yesterday.
The unexpected honour conferred upon me by this dis-
tinguished mark of their approbation, is to me personally
most gratifying. Greatly, however, as I value so flattering
a reward of my endeavours to promote the interests and
prosperity of our country, I should very inadequately
convey all that I feel on this occasion were I to confine
myself to the expression of my individual thanks. In one
sense, indeed, except to myself, it may be matter of little
moment, that my labour., a.s a late servant of the crown,
are viewed so favourably by the board over which you pre-
side. But i❑ another sense, looking to that board as re-
presenting the sentiments of the largest manufacturing
community in this kingdom, it is, I conceive, highly im-
portant, upon public grounds, that the system, of com-
mercial and colonial policy which it has been my official
duty to carry into effect, should be stamped with their
deliberate sanction and concurrence, as tending in its
"general character and consequences materially to promote
the true and lasting welfare of all classes of his Majesty's
subjects."
In thanking you, Sir, for the very handsome manner in
which you have conveyed to me the resolution of the board,
I have to request that you will take a proper opportunity
of tendering to the directors my grateful acknowledgment
of the sense which they have been pleased to express of my
public conduct, and the assurance, that as a private
Member of Parliament, I shall at all times be ready to
receive from them any suggestions which they may
consider calculated to assist the industry and promote the
commerce of this country.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient,
faithful servant,

(Signed) W. HUSKISSON.

BRIGHTON, SUNDAY, Jun- M.—Yesterday morning,
at 10 o'clock, the Right Hon. William Huskisson, who
had arrived the night before from his seat at Eartham, em-
barked on board the steam packet for Dieppe. The Duke
of Cambridge and the Duke of Gloucester went on the
chain-pier to see him embark. Their Royal Highnesses
walked fur a considerable time on the pier with Lady
Isabella Thynn► and the Aides-de-camp of the Duke; and
the whole of the Royal party were weighed on the weigh-
ing machine which is kept there. Liston happening to
come on the pier at this moment, was familiarly accosted
by the Duke of Cambridge, who conversed with him for
a considerable time. The crowd of persons following the
Royal party was very great. Last night the Brighton
Theatre opened for the season, when the Vauxhall vaude-
ville of the " Statne Lover," in which T. Cook* sustained
the principal character, was performed ; and Mrs. W.
West and Miss Grant, of Drury-lane, also appeared during
the evening. The Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of
Gloucester sat in the King's box, and seemed to enjoy
highly the amusements. They were warmly cheered by
the audience, which was a very full one, both on entering
and leaving the box. Their Royal Highnesses looked re-
markably well.
