LIVERPOOL

(From Gore's Liverpool Advertiser.)
In accordance with previous invitation, nearly 130
gentlemen, consisting chiefly of the canvassers for
Mr. , Porter, sat down to d most sumptuous din-
ner at the York Hotel. Every delicacy in season
was provided, and in justice to the worthy host, Mr.
Galway, it was universally admitted, that consi-
dering the very short notice, he produced an abun-
dance of every dainty that could gratify the appetite
of the veriest epicure.
About half-past six o'clock the dinner was served
up, Joh►► Wright, Esq. in the chair; ar•d we should
not be doing justice to the worthy chairman did we
not say, in the outset, that his conduct in this si-
tuation was such, as to secure universal admiration.
As soon as the cloth was withdrawn, " His Ma-
jesty George the Fourth" was drunk with three
times three.

Tlu: CHAIRMAN then said that he wished to pro-
pose a health :—He was just going to describe the
virtues of the gentleman to whom he alluded, but he
was confident he need only mention to the company
the name of " Porter." He, Mr. W. had only just
previously left Mr. Porter, and that gentleman had
authorised him to say to the company all that was
in his power, but also adding, that all he could say
would full short of what he really felt, but that he
hoped to prove that. the freemen of Liverpool had
not given their suffrages in vain.—(Applause.) He,
Mr. W. begged leave to propose the health of their
friend, Mr. Porter.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. RADCLIFFE, said that with the permission of
the Chairman, lie begged to trespass on the company
for a few moments. He felt glad to see so many
gentlemen assembled to commemorate a great event,
—that of obtaining a great object by strength (the
back-bone of Liverpool) against a long purse—
(Loud cheers.)—He always considered that the real
strength of Liverpool laid in the tradesmen, and he
was confident that by this election the freemen had
gained on that strength---a strength that was irre-
sistible, when aided by the talents, the influence, and
under the auspices of their very worthy Chairman.—
(Loud applause.)—He, Mr. R., was free to declare,
that from the time he first became acquainted with
electioneering matters, he was of opinion the trades-
men of Liverpool, if properly regulated, could carry
any election; that strength of purse was entirely
useless; that public opinion assisted by a free press,
and by such a Chairman as presided over this com-
pany would always carry the day.—(Applause.)—
He felt happy to see so many persons active in
behalf of the cause, and he felt proud in witnessing
such a day as this had been. He begged leave to

Several other toasts were drunk, and the harmony
of the evening was carried on until a late hour.

On Monday last, the youthful Sir` Clifford
Constable, Bart., with his new bride, Lady:Constable, ar-
rived at their family mansion, Tixhall Hall, in this county,
since which time the noble Baronet's residence has been one
gay scene of bland festivity.—Pottery Gazelle.

Dr. Southey, it is said, now writes political
theology, and Sir Walter Scott political economy, for the
Quarterly Review. Under such auspices, who questions
but the Quarterly must thrive ? Carlisle Journal.

On Wednesday, the ship Huntly, Wilson,
sailed from this port for Barbadoes and Demerara, having
on board for the former, detachments of the Ist battalion
Ist Royal Regiment, 25th and 93d Regiments of Foot, con-
sisting of 12 officers and 152 privates ; Capt. Lunt, Com-
manding Officer.— Greenock Advertiser.

LEEDS FoRTNIGPIT FAIR.—The alteration
in the day of holding the Leeds Cattle Fair has already
proved highly beneficial. Last Wednesday, the number of
sheep was larger than the pens would contain.—We have
the satisfaction to state, that additional accommodation will
be made without delay, and that measures are taking for
having the Free Market pared and rendered complete, as
will be seen from an advertisement for tenders in our pre-
sent paper, addressed to stone merchants, quarrymen, pa-
viours, diggers, and others.—Leeds Mercury.

We understand that the Marquis of Graham,
eldest son of his Grace the Duke of Montrose, has been ap-
pointed Colonel of the Stirlingshire Militia, in room of
Colonel Russell of Woodside, who has resigned. The
Noble Marquis completed his 28th year in July last, and
there are still in the Staff of the regiment five indivi-
duals, (three officers and two non-commissioned officers)
who were present at the celebration of his birth in 1799,
at which period the Noble Duke, his father, was Colonel of
the regiantmeCaledvnian Mercury.
