DINNER OF THE BLUE CLUB AT

SHOREHAM.

Cr Tue.:day the Annual Pinner of the Blue Club,
r:l:i,•lr is compe,ed of the politie .1 friends and sup-
par era of Sir E. li.. ugdeo, the .;olicite.r-General,
took place at the :.;tar Ile, Shoreleee, Capt. TATE
tilled the Chair, and Mr. W. TATE was the Vice-
President. A few Gentlemen, who were not Mem-
bers of the Club, were invited, and attended.
About four o'clock upwards of fifty Gentlemen
sat down to a capital dinner provided for the occa-
sion by the landlord, Mr. Deadman, whose arranE;e-
ments gave great satisfaction.
After the removal of the cloth the King was given
with four times four—Song, " God save the King,"
by Mr. Cheesman, of the Brighton Harmonic Society.
" The Roval Family," and " the Army and
Navy," were drank, followed by the " Duke of Wel-
lington and his Majesty's Ministers, which was
drank with great applause.
The health of Sir L. B. Sugden was then pro-
posed, and drank with the greatest enthusiasm.
Sir E. B. SUGDEN returned thanks. He swished,
before he proceeded farther, to observe, that there
appeared to have been some mistake abroad with re-
spect to this meeting, which, though it had its
origin in politics, was not a public meeting, but a
dinner given by his friends, and to which he was in-
vited. It was given only by his friends, who
agreed with him in opinion. He should on this oc-
casion abstain from all political allusions, notwith-
standing it would afford him the greatest pleasure to
state the grounds on which be had acted, and which,
when the proper period arrived, he should state,
with the same candour that had directed him in all
his intercourse with the electors. His opinions had
undergone no change, but he looked on past events
as inevitable. In expressing this opinion, he could
not be supposed as actuated by any political views;
but simply as the stanuch advocate of the rights
which belonged to them all. What had taken place
showed that it was necessary they should be more
cautious, and more on the alert, as to who should be
their future representative in Parliament. He said this,
not speaking as a political character, but to his friends
then present, who met him on certain well under-
r•tood principles, and which he sincerely hoped none
of them would ever abandon. He had never ex-
perienced any greater satisfaction than in the uniform
kindness with which he was always met by the elec-
tors of the Rape generally, and more particularly by
those of Shoreham. It was very gratifying to find
so many persons of consequence in the Rape sup-
porting their cause, and to them his best thanks were
due; when a certain period arrived, it must be some-
thing very particular which should prevent him from
being at his post, the consistent advocate of those
principles which he had long manifested. Nothing
had occurred to prevent those principles from
flourishing as much as ever; he believed in his con-
science that measures which had been adopted were
imperative, but their adoption called for additional
exertion and watchfulness on the part of those who
were advocates of the great principles of the Con-
stitution. Sir Edward concluded by giving as a
toast, " Prosperity to the town and harbour .of
Shoreham."
The Rev. Mr. Hutchins' health was drunk with
three times three.
The health of the Chairman was next drunk.

Captain TATE returned thanks.
The health of the Lord Chancellor, and of the
Lord Lieutenant of the County, were next drunk,
followed by those of Mr. W. Dorror, Mr. T. West,
and Mr. Cave. These gentlemen severally returned
thanks.

sir E. SUGDEN next proposed the health of Mr.
Freeman, Mr. Tamplin, and the Freeholders of
Brighton. No man rejoiced more than himself in
the prosperity of Brighton : he always looked upon
it as the metropolis of the county of Sussex, and
trusted its prosperity would long continue. It was
with great pleasure he knew that many independent
electors in that town were attached to him. He
believed there was no body of men living who exer-
cised their elective franchise with more indepen-
dence; whether it was always wisely directed was
more than he could say, but it was satisfactory to
him to reckon some of the most independent among
his friends.

Mr. FREEMAN returned thanks. They all knew
what Sir E. Sugden had done towards establish-
ing the independence of the Rape; and, though
the struggle had been unsuccessful, he hoped some
future day to see in him the member of their own
choice.

Mr. TAMPLIN also returned thanks, and expressed
his concurrence in what had fallen from Mr. Freeman.

Mr. W. T. then proposed the health of Lady
Sugden and family.—(Rapturous applause, and
drunk Nvith three times three.)

Sir E. B. SUGDEN returned thanks.

The company continued to enjoy themselves for
some time afterwards, and then separated, highly
pleased with the results of the day, which insp►red
them with a determination to prosecute with more
vigour than ever their endeavours to effect an eman-
cipation front arbitrary power.
