POOL.

(From the Albion.)
On Thursday last the Worshipful the Mayor gave
a dinner, at the Town-hall, to a party of gentlemen
who were invited to meet Mr. Huskisson. The
.eienin passed off with great eclat. Besides Mr.
Huskisson, there were four other Members of Par-
.liarnent present, viz. Messrs. Stanley, Heneage,
•,T,e,mlSon, and Ewart. The speeches delivered on
:this occasion were numerous, interesting, and impor-
etnt; but, in consequence of an absurd point of
etiquette, which regards the Mayor's parties as pri-
vate--a regulation which the present Mayor would
have shewn good sense and spirit in disregarding on
an occasion like the present—Reporters were ex-
°laded from the room. Thus speeches of " great
Pith and moment," which were evidently spoken
with a view to publication, are wholly lost to the
e };awe, however, picked up a few parti-
culars of the speeches which were delivered, and
whch, though they are very meagre, will serve to
show the topics on which the different speakers
tescanted. We have heard that his worship the

filled the chair with more than his usual ur-
ts 'tY, and that he made, in the course of the even-
ing, several good speeches.
Mr. HustfissoN on his health being drank, re-
tuniedl thanks in a speech of considerable length.—

The at any preceding per
"e poor's rates were lower than they had been in
Past Years of prosperity ; and they afforded some cri-
he''°° of the state of the population. He would fain
°Pe, therefore, that things were not so bad in this
tfireat commercial town, as the representations of the
bsPondent would lead strangers to believe. The
•"'lght Hon. Gentleman stated that, having now
more leisure than lie had formerly had, he should
Have it in his power to devote more of his attention
to the local interests of his constituents, whose
Welfare it should ever be his study to promote.

ins-;---first, when his grandfather, the Earl of

and may, and probably will, ultimately touch upon
a whole million ster ling. It is, however, a
undertaking, and does honour to the town of Liver-
pool. We heard at one time touch said of your
tunnel under the Thames, and the rapid progress
which it was making towards completion. What
are the projectors of that great national work about ?
--!hat monument of art, which, when complete, was
to form the eighth wonder of the world! the whole
seems to have sunk into oblivion. Surely the capital
of this mighty empire will not suffer itself to be out-
done by one of the ont-ports, and appalled by a few
trifling diffieulties which require only a little public
spirit to surmount; abandon an undertaking, the com-
pletion of which, as a work of art, would confer
honour upon the country, and at the same time prove
a source of convenience to the trade of the most
populous and commercial quarter of the metropolis.
