TIJF.SDAT,

CHESHIRE WHIG CLUB MEETING,

The Seventh Annual Meeting of the Whig Club of Che-
shire and the adjacent Counties, was held on Tuesday at
the Royal Hotel, Chester. It was very, numerously at-
tended, particularly by gentlemen from Manchester and
Liverpool.
Precious to the dinner the Committee held a meeting,
at which several new members were proposed, ballotted for,
and admitted. some conversation arose on the subject of
Sir George Cayley's recommendation to the Whig Clubs to
dissolve themselves ; and the best proof that can be given
that the Clubs of this part of the country do not mean to
assent to Sir George's proposition, is the fact that at this
meeting the propriety of appointing a local committee for
Liverpool, similar to that at Manchester, having power to
admit members, was discussed and approved, and a Com-
mittee formed for the purpose.
RALrli LEYCESTER, 1":,1(1. M. P. presided at the din-
ner—a splendid and sumptuous one, served in the best
style—supported on the right by Earl Grosvenor, on the
left by Sir Thomas Stanley. Among the company were,
G. Wilbraham, Esq. M.P. ; E. D. Davenport, Esq.
M.P. ; George Phillips, Esq. M.P. ; General Glegg ; the
Rev. Messrs. Stanley and Shepperd, of Liverpool ; P.
Crewe, and Apsland ; and Messrs. Rathbone, Rushton, and
Tillatt, of Staffordshire, &c.
After the customary loyal toasts were drunk, the Cseent-
MAN proposed " The Royal Family, and may they always
hear in mind the principles which placed the House of
Brunswick on the Throne of these realms." It had, he said,
been objected to this toast, that it was meant to convey a
sly, insinuation on the supposed feelings of the Royal Fa-
mily. This he denied. Nothing could be less true ; it
was a delicate compliment to the present Monarch, who
had, in 1822, at the time when the Francis Government
issued its manifesto against Spain, declared through his
constitutional organ, Mr. Canning, that unless the French
Government erased from that document the paragraph re-
lative to the divine personal right of Kings, all negocia-
tions on the subject between the two countries should be at
an end—thereby acknowledging the great principle, that
with the people all power originated. It was such senti-
ments this toast was meant to honour and convey their ap-
probation of.
The next toast was " The People, may they know their
rights, and knowing, maintain them." When party
spirit ran high it was deemed exciting the people to in-
subordination to propose this toast, but in these fortunate
times there was no man found so absurd as to quarrel.with
it. The imputation was at all times unjust,—for those
who knew their own rights, would be the last to invade
those of others.—(Hear.) If they knew not their own
rights, they couid not defend them ; and unless they were
defended they would lose them,—for there was a perpetual
struggle between despotism and liberty. If liberty were
found napping, its death was that of the American who
fell asleep in his boat, and was hurried down the Rapids to
his destruction. The liberty, whose principles they met
to celebrate was he might say, in a word, the real title
deed of our estattee—nay, of our lives.-.--( Cheers.)
"May People ~and Rulers bear in constant remembrance
the example of 1688." " The essential principle of Li-
berty—a full, free, and impartial Representation of the
People in Parliament." " The Memory of the Bight Hon.
Charles James Fox.
The CHAIRMAN again rose.--In proposing " Civil and
Religious Liberty," he was glad of the opportunity of con-
gratulating the meeting on the vantage ground which this
great cause had gained since they last assembled here. He
expressed his sanguine hope that Catholic Emancipation
was near at hand. His hopes were grounded on the state of
the arguments against it ; on the state of its adversaries and
of its friends. As to the arguments against it, Lord Liver-
pool had, for one, put an end to the Coronation Oath ;
and then the " No-Popery " cry, which had set the coun-
try in a war, now lay mute and motionlees, entirely for-
given and almost forgotten ; the absurd idea of divided al-
legiance, which succeeded, was the most ridiculous that
ever sprung from the brain of a politician. What did the
Catholics give to the Pope? A nominal supremacy in
matters of faith. What did they give to the King ?
Their lives and their fortunes. Then it was dangerous te
admit Catholics to sit in Parliament! About as dangerous
as it would he to allow ten or twelve Tories to sit down
at dinner with themselves.—(Laughter.) Could any fifty
Catholics out-vote five hundred Protestant representatives.
It was too absurd for any man of sense to dream of. Then
he hoped from the state olio opponents; he had often listened
to Mr. Peel's speeches on this question, and he would declare,
as a gentleman and a man of honour, that he never could
discover any reason he addeced against it. His opposition
arose from early prejudices not yet overcome ; but the
splendid example of Brownlow pointed out to him the course
he should adopt—The Hon. Chairman then alluded to
the No Popery Petition got up in Chester, and hoped that
the light of reason would illuminate those opaque bodies.
Their Diocesan was too enlightened not to see that the
disease of Ireland must speedily be remedied, and he recom-
mended for such purpose the abolition of absenteeism, and
the diffusion of education,—but the former arose from the
Non-Emancipation of the Country, and to educate them
would be only to render them more uneasy under then
oluelesd (f

the harbour of safety. Then the present Administration
were bound to assist in this great cause; they were pledged
to do every thing but make it a Cabinet measure. And

bi(wleli:T•lsgniinsotwoplinpilotaes sleeves had had the audacity to assert, but

of such a measure—(Cheering for some minutes).—,and to
let the public understand the question thoroughly and well.
It then became doubly the duty of every man who wished
the cause well to endeavour to disabuse the pub-
lic mind of its vulgar errors, and advance to a right de-
cision. lie would remind the enemies of Emancipation
of the danger to the country by leaving Ireland dis-
affected as she now is, of making millions of men have an
interest in the miseries of their country, and of inviting
foreign hostility, by exposing the vulnerable side of our
Government. By making the Catholics free they become
better men, better neighbours, better Christians, and better
Protestants ; for he thanked God, it was no part of Pro-
testantisrn to persecute their fellow men.—(Hear, hear.)
The Rev. EDWARD STANLEY was called on by the
Chairman, and bore testimony to the increasing liberalit‘
of Roman Catholics en the Continent; whenever lie con-
versed with foreigners, who generally looked up to the
British Constitution as the model of perfection in govern-
ment, he was always obliged with regret to acknowledge
the exist9to of the barbarous penal statutes against the
Catholics as a disgrace to his country. He reverted to
the fear that the Roman Catholics would proselytize the
Protestants ; this he was sorry came from the lips of hit
fellow-cleigymen, who should be the last to dread the
effects of discussion, fur it was admitting indirectly that
their own religion was standing on a false foundation. It
the Priests Caine forward with zeal, let them do so with
redoubled zeal and renewed energy. '
The next toasts were, " The Habeas Corpus Ad'
" Trial by Jury," " A Free Press." Mr. Smith, of Li-
verpool, returned thanks.

The Vice-President, Mr. GREGG, of .Manchester, pro
posed the health of the Chairman, who returned thanks
and adverted to the important events which had occurree
within the last year. The Corn Laws had been brougli;
under consideration. Since he had been appointed Chair-
inau, he had done what no Chairman of this Club bad

ever done before—:Warted the Ad inistration, and thst
,
•
with a Tory at . head: That had been done, hecaus....t
the Whigs thought it better to attain some advantage for
the country and defeat the tyranny of Toryism, while at
the same time they had never compromised a prihoilil.'•
in such a case the question was, whether was an Admini-
stration with Mr. Canning at its head, or one
Bathurst, Wellington, and Eldon, the better ? The Whigs
thought the former, and the country thought with them'
—(Loud applause. ).---Of Lord Bathurst he would only sat
that he was a hitter and bigotted foe to his own relation
and tutor, the Bishop of Norwich. Of the Duke of Wel-
liogton lie need only say, that he called county me,t-
ings a farce ; he forgot that his laurels were watered
with the blood of Catholics too ; lie was a llfarplot in legis-
lation, and kept very bad company with the new Holy Al-
liance. Of Lord Eldon need he say more than that he found
the Court of Chancery one of the greatest nuisances on
earth, and that he left it, at the end of 30 years, still worse.
—Of one and all of them, he would say that they loved
all that was old and wrong,—they hated whatever was new
and right, they were quite unsuitable for the age in which
they lived : they should have lived in the time of the
Piantagenets, and that they were like men walking about in
their sleep at noon day.—(Loud Cheers.)—The Whigi
rejoiced at the opportunity of wheeling out this old dry
rubbish, and joined, for that purpose, Mr. Canning's Ad-
ministration. The Honourable Gentleman paid a high
compliment to Mr. Canning's abilities, and sonelnded
decia=ing his opinion that the Meetings of the Whig Clubs
were as necessary as ever—the prineiples which secured the
glorious revolution, should he as eternal as truth, and he
hoped they would be maintained wkile the country enjoyed
one spark of freedom.

The CIA I ICNI AN then proposed the health of Lord Crewe.

Lord GROSVENOR returned thanks when his health was
drunk from the Chair. He trusted the principles of this
Club would last for ever. He rejoiced that the Tory
Administration, which had so long ruled the country, hail
ceased to exist, as he hoped, for ever. With regard to th..
name of this Club, he cared nothing, for it was founded on
fixed and immutable principles, that every lover of freedom
should for ever cherish—principles quite independent of
Whigs or Tories. Though their principles bad triumphed,
it would still be necessary to meet and trim their lamps
occasionally, that the light of liberty might barn purely
and steadily.. They should take care the door was not
shat hi their faces, and themselves taken unprepare4. A
Society formed like this, on the policy of those principles to
which this owed its birth, should never he gives► up. His
Lordship, after declaring his determination to support the
Administration, as long as it deserved well of the country,
concluded by drinking, " May the genuine principles
of
Whiggism spread all through the world," which was
drunk with enthusiasm.
Several other toasts of the same nature were drunk, and
the Chair addressed by Mr. Gregg, Sir Thomas Stanley,
Mr. Wilbraham, M.P., Mr. Philips, M.P., the Reverend
Mr. Shepperd, and others.

SPIRIT O MI PURE 5 JOURNALS.

We present on this clay as titlfJ, the comps
tine ,statement cf the Revenue for the years 1826

and 1827, and for the last quarters of those se-
veral years. Front the Apparent bustle of busi-
ness with which-'our ports and streets have been
enlivened, we should 'have expected *• greater
increase on -the whole veer, and on the quarter,
than the sums respectively of 325,0051. vnd
C 05,787/. But the whole subject will require a

More rigid investigation than we have at present
tune to bestow ; as one item in the calculation,

it will lie necessary to ascertain the exact amount
of the duties -►paid .;!1 the admission of foreign

corn.-7 /Me's.

•
It will Int seen fo'm the Gazette de France,
that expectations are out in some quarters,
of a removal of the seat nsgociation, with re-
gard to Greece, from the Turkish to the .British
capital. In the same Lreath, however, we are
informed that the coemve measures prescribed
by the triple convention sre actually carrying into
execution b) the e.ornbined fleets. If so, there
is no further room to negoeiate ; the only point
left to decide upon wil; be in the breast of Tur-
key alone—viz. the precise moment at which she
may wish teibe-released from the Maritime strait-
waistcoat. It would appear that the Turkish
Ministers 1!.1.1 expressed great joy at the intelli-
gence of. Mr. Canning's death. "We believe that
the acting inexaben: of other despotisms have felt
very cordially with those` of Turkey on the same
unfortunate occurrence. The surviving Minis-
ters of thi, counti::,-, therefore, have but the
nobler and io,inly office to discharge._

Our Lisbon correspondence, which comes
down to the end of September, affords an inte-
resting but melancholy picture of the state of
Portugal. There is, in truth, no Goverment at
all ; Constitutional Government—the Charter
of Don Pedro—is wholly out of the question.
But there is no such thing as constituted autho-
rity, acting gravely by fixed rules upon the ge-
neral interests of its subjects. The wantonness
of childish caprice is visible in every step of the
Puppet-Regent. Her women in waiting, and
the old vixon at Queluz, cabal from day to day
tow best to bewilder the weak, misguided, yet
self-willed Princess; and the orders, mostly vin-
dictive and iniquitous, which she issues at the
instigation of this wretched council, are executed
by the Minister of Police. From an admini-
stration, therefore, whose spirit is that of angry
despotism, and whose most efficient functionaries
are spies and gaolers, the people could entertain
no better hopes than those which are now in the
course of being hourly realized. Instead of
acting on the instructions of the
.Sovereign who
appointed her, and for the interests of his king-
dom as understood and explained by himself, the
Regent has dropped into an expectant subaltern
of her own presumed successor ; and when
Miguel comes to take possession of the Govern-
ment, he will be saved the trouble of violating
any pledges required of him by foreigners to
maintain the Charter. His work is done for
bim—the Charter is already gone. What part
England has to enact under such unhappy cir-
cumstances, is a question not without embarrass-
ment. If an arbitrary system should be esta-
blished, and pursued on principles most likely,
in appearance, to perpetuate it, the political sym-
pathies of Portugal, as a kingdom, are transfer-
red from England to another class of friends :
the reigning branch of the House of l3raganza
coalesces with that of tile House of Bourbon,
and then sinks under the natural ascendancy of
the more powerful State. Thus the extinction
of Pedro's policy affects Great Britain in a sen-
sible quarter, and to a grievous extent. It will
be a. sad falling off, if, instead of giving liberty
to Spain, the crisis of the last six months shall
end in enslaving the ancient ally of this country.

We lay before our Readers the Accounts o
the Quarter's Revenue. • It will be seen that the
increase in the quarter ending October 10, 1827,
as compared with October 10, 1826, amounts
to no 'less than 605,787/. The increase is
chiefly on the Customs, the amount in that
branch of the Revenue being no less than
335,9781. The increase on the Stamps is also
coosiderable, being no less than 130,2791. On
the other hand, there is a falling off in the Ex-
cise of 78,9231. The Revenue for the year
ended 10th October, 1827, as compared with
the year ended 10th October, 1820, exhibits an
increase of 325,005/. If we take the quarter
ended sth July 1827, and compare it with the
quarter ended sth .July, 1826, we find an in.,
crease in favour of the former of 45,770/. But
here we are at the termination of the improve-,
ment, the quarter ended sth April, 1827, being
no less than 469,5401. less than the quarter
ended sth April, 1826. We would fain believe
that the country may now be considered to have
surmounted its chief difficulties. Burdened as
wc are, we must lay, our accounts for a constant
struggle, and there Will'alWays, probably, be pe-
iods of depression in particular branches of in-
dustry ; but we trust that a continuance of fair
average prosperity is now in store for us.—

Mr. Shell's speech at the Catholic Associa-
tion on Saturday last, is in many respects de-
serving of attention. We shall to-morrow give
insertion to it, and in the mean time we insert a
letter from a practical observer on the subject on
which Mr. Shell principally enlarges. Mr. Sheil
is an orator, and an orator is an exaggerator.—
The oratory speaks to the passions of men, and
it is hardly necessary to observe, that passion
always turns a deaf ear to maw,. the present

dresses himself most powerfully to their feelings!.

to Ireland. To the Orangemen and the Catho-i
lies we should be equally unwelcome. They are:!
inflamed with too violent an anitnosity towards
each other to receive advice from neutrals. But
there is in England a class anxious only to learn
the truth with respect to Ireland, and to give
their suffrage only in favour of the cause which
justice would recommend, Mr, Sheil draws a
gloomy picture of the present situation of Ire-
land ; and much of whit he says with respect to
the feeling; of the peasantry, in cases of the
murder of those whom they consider their op-
