DINNER TO MR. ALD. WINCHESTER.

, Last night a most sumptuous entertainment was given
at the Albion Tavern, by the inhabitants of Vintry Ward,
to Mr. Alderman Winchester, to commemorate the triumph
. Ohio elevion as Alderman of that ward. About six o'clock,
tetween 70 and 80 gentlemen sat down to a most excel-
lent dinner, consisting of every delicacy of the season.
AITHOMAS 'WHITBY, Esq., Deputy of the Ward, filled
rchair. On his right were Mr. Alderman Winchester,
:. Alderman Farebrother, the Hon. Charles Ewen Law.
"41 RA, Esq., Consul-General of Hanover, &c. &c,
and on the left Archdeacon Goddard, Dr. Wilson, and the
Clergy of the Ward.
After the cloth was removed, Non nods Domine was

William, and Atkins

col*. WHITBY then said,that having been appointed by the
Mmittee to pr, side as Chair man that evening, he had the
seatiog duty to present the worthy Alderman with a piece
Plate. In begging his acceptance of it;said Mr.Whithy,
all feel, Gentlemen, with admiration, the energy,
7,rve, and strength of mind, that have carried our worthy
tderman through one of the most vexatious contests that
ever occurred in this city, and supported against him by
the strong legal power who, like Hercules, fell by his
"'II covering, and who were frustrated by their own
nWeaP°ll--the law. Gentlemen, the Alderman, in this
e
in.—lnest, has upheld and supported the rights of every free-
,'l2 and ward of London (it was a public cause); for if
that Court had been successful, in the very words of
d Tenterden, delivered in his judgment, 23d of January
1_..t," the consequence would be that the Court of
Id Mayor and Aldermen would have in their hands the
rolote commitl of the election of all the city officers ;
tileY may declare any election void, one after another,
tin +Person agreeable to themselves be chosen." Gentle-
,h,77\l now propose " The health of our worthy Alder•
with three times three.—(Drank with the mos
osittstic cheering.)
The

d 15tce of Plate, which is of the most magnificent
thetahnt and costly worktnanship,was then presented to

Pies and only day, that I hope, with your kind assistane,

• •
Magistracy of London.—(Great cheering.)...—He was not
only excellent in his public life, but his private
I character, as a husband, father, and friend, were most
exemplary, and he (Mr. Alderman Farebrother) never
could value the services of a public man, unless his private
duties were in accordance. He begged, on hehalf of the
Magistracy of London, to return the company his sincere
thanks, and hoped they would join him in drinking the
health of Mrs. Winchester and family.
" Mrs. Winchester and Family."—(Three times. three.)
Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER—Mr. Chairman and Gen-
tlemen, accept, on behalf of Mts. Winchester, my best
thanks. I f,-el much gratified at the manner in which her
health and that of my family have been received. I can
assure you most conscientiously, and I ought so to do in
justice to her, that no one feels a greater interest
in the prosperity of your Ward than herself.—(Cheers.)
—During the long and arduous contest we have met to
celebrate, not a word of regret escaped her—not a word
did she ever utter calculated to retard our proceedings.--
(Great cheering.)—She used to tell ins, Gentlemen, " you
say you are right, and I am hound to believe you."—
(Cheers.)—When I convey to her your sentiments, and
the honour you have done her, she will look upon it with
the greatest satisfaction and delight. Gentlemen, on be-
half of Mrs. Winchester and family, I thank you.
Song—Mr. Fitzwilliam.
CHAIRMAN—It must give us great pleasure to see
amongst us on this day several gentlemen to whom we are
under many obligations. I mean the Clergy of the Ward.
I therefore propose the health of Archdeacon Goddard, and
the other Clergy of the Ward, with three times three.
Archdeacon GODDARD, in the name of himself and
brethren, returned thanks. The clergy of the country,
generally amalgamated with the public on important ques-
tions ; but in the present instance the clergy of the Ward
of Vintry felt themselves identified with the cause they
had met that evening to accelerate. It was a cause, he
did not hesitate to say, had met with unmerited oppression,
but it had triumphed—(great cheering)—and he had united
himself with it; because, in the first place, it was the
cause of freedom; in the second, it was the cause of a
distinguished and honourable individual ; and, in the
third, the cause of that distinguished individual has been
supported by such legal and honourable means, that nothing
in this happy country could resist it.—(Great cheering.)
The CHAIRICAN—The next toast is, the health of a
gentleman who supported our cause with his powerful
assistance, the Hon. Charles Ewen Law,--(Cheers.)—He
saw its justice, and went on and conquered; it is a grati-
fication to have such men enrolled amongst our friends.
" The Hon. Charles Ewen Law" was then drank, with
three times three, and great applause.
Mr. LAW' returned thanks in an eloquent speech, which
we regret our limits prevent us from giving in full. The
Hon. Gentleman said he had great pleasure in being pre-
sent at the triumph of his friend Mr. Alderman Winchester,
be had always been impressed with the justice of his cause,
and that it must eventually succeed. And," said Mr.
Law, " I never hesitated what course I ought to steer
when professional duty was opposed to private interest.—
The independence of the English Bar shall never be sacri-
ficed in my person.—(Great cheers.)—And, in advocating
the cause of Mr. Alderman Winchester, be considered be
was advancing the real interests of the Court of Aldermen,
by placing in a situation a Gentleman eminently qualified
to fill the Civic Chair.—(Cheers.)—The law of England
had triumphed, and, however much that law had
been reviled, for want of not understanding it, it
was still the perfection of human reason, and the
very essence of common sense, and it was one of the
greatest privileges of Englishmen that the law was admi-
nistered by themselves and through themselves. The
Constitution could never be in danger whilst such men as
his Hon. Friend, Mr. Alderman Winchester, were se-

lected to fill high and important offices. He sincerely
thanked the company for the honour they had done him in
drinking his health.

The CitAmaral; said he had now to propose the health
of a gentleman, whose valuable professional assistance had
been of so much advantge to them—he meant Mr. Thomas
Briggs.
Mr. BRIGGS returned thanks, he had not words to ex-
press his gratitude, and the obligation the kindness of the
meeting had placed him under. I would be presumption
in him to claim any merit in the victory they had achiev-
ed. He was aware of the difficulties that beset him, but
he was encouraged to persevere, by an expression which
fell from the father of the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last
(Lord Ellenborougb.) That distinguished individual
has once told him (Mr. B.) that no wrong could be en-
dured in this country without a remedy." And he knew
the justice of their cause must prevail.
Song—By Mr. Fitzwilliam.
The health of John Hall, Esq. Consul-General of Ha-
nover, was next drank with three times three. .
_ _

i Mr. HALL, in a neat speech, returned thanks, and said
f it should be thought advisable to commemorate so
glorious a triumph by an anniversary, he should
hope they would never forget this. It was a
most singular fact that three of the Counsel who
advocated their cause, viz. Mr. James Parke, Mr.
Bolland, and the late Solicitor-General, had been elevated
to the Bench, and if the other one (Mr. Law) was to re-
ceive a similar honour, it would reflect great credit on
the city of London.—(lt was here whispered in the room
that Mr. Hall alluded to the office of Recorder.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of " Thomas
Moore, Esq., and thanks to him for his kind services."—
Drank with three times three.

Mr. Moons, in an eloquent speech, returned thanks. He
felt proud that his exertions had been in some degree instru-
mental in raising their worthy Alderman to a situation to
which he would do honour, and in which he would care-
fully pretect the rights and interests of the citizens of
London.

The healths of the Stewards, of the Members of the
Common Council of Vintry Ward, of Thomas France,
Esq., and of the Vice-Presidents, Mr. Martin and sir.
Ingall were drank, who all respectively returned thanks.
Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER said there was only one
toast more, and that he was sure would be drank with the
greatest honours. It was the good wives, buxom widows,
and pretty maids of the Ward of Vintry. Drank with
three times three.

The Chairman left the room about eleven o'clock, al
which time most of the company, after spending a delight.
ful evening, separated.

The magnificent piece of plate was manufactured by Mr.
Caton, of Upper Thames-street, and is of the value of
2501.

LITERATUTr.

THE FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBRA RY—Vot. I.

LONDON, 1829.

We have been favoured with an early copy of
this very promising speculation, and as the taste
of the day runs just now very strongly in favour_
of such Miscellanies or Cyclopedias—aut quo-
cunque alio nomine gaudent—we doubt not it
will meet with proportionate success. The name
of Valpy alone is a tower of strength, wherever
the Classics are concerned ; but the present
volume needs no such adventitious aid, however
influential, it has quite sufficient merit to enable
it to stand on its own foundation. It is a trans-
lation of many ofthe choicest speeches of Demos-
thenes, especially his Philippics, and so far as we
have yet been able to perceive, the task has been
executed by Dr. Leland in a most worthy and
faithful spirit. Each oration is introduced by a
slight but pertinent preface, in which all that
may seem obscure in the text, or in the local
allusions, is cleared up. The majority of the
Greek and Latin Classics, as we learn by a neatly-
penned prospectus, are to be brought forward
monthly in the same manner and on the save
reasonable terms, and if translated with similar
ability: to:the present specimen, will doubtless
assume as lofty a grade in public favour as the
" Family Library,' or perhaps even as Dr.
Lardner's " Cyclopedia."
