SIIt lIARCUIIItT LEES.

A con piracy, it is stated, has been discovered,
which had for its object the assassinatid`n of Sir
Harcourt Lies and his family, at his residence.
Lssexford, near Ardee. The Hibernian Journal
of yesterday places before its renders the following
letter from Sir Harcourt himself upon the sub-
ject :
" In the true spirit of Popery, its intended vic-
tim, a Protestant ; its obj, et blood ; its means
assassination ; I was prepared to meet it, as the
author or the Antidote would the tortures of the
1"d ►isitiou, in det,oce of my King, my-Country,
amid nay Religion. I was well repined for the
villains, if they attacked my house. A daring
and dveimitied spirit which, through lite, has
never deserted me, supported me in cheerfulness,
and in the enjoyment of my usual amusements.
Not a human being but my informer, whose ob-
ject was to discover the names and residences of
the assassins, had the most distant conception
of any timing, more than common, engaging
my attention; although in parting my ciiildren
at night, I looked at (item as it it might be the
last time we tdiall meet on eatth ; for 1 may
say, I have slept neon fire-arms, being hilly
resolved, if these tolerant legislators in embryo,
come within range of my shot, they would after-
wards think pniga!opy a trifle to it. On Wed-
nesday I discovered the names I so long wished
for—aod, at twelve lock that night, with time
prompt and judicious assistance of that most inva-
luable magistrate, Filgate, these patriotic
and tadtcal murderers were secured; and I was
rewarded in believing that I had been the means
of hteaking op a system that might soon have
involved the lives of warty Magistrates, had 1
evinced the least pievions uneasiness, or dread ot
my own existence being endangered."--(Dublin
Pulriot, dpril 4.)

It has been stated to its, upon authority, tha
previous to •he trials of the itibbontwu at th,
Galway Assizes taking place, threateni.g letters
-,vere sent to the Judge, the Sheriff, and those
SUMMOued on the Jury, slating, that it ;he pri-
soners, were punished, they " would have tltc
town levelled about their eats." In consequelic,
of this threat, the miiihiry were on the alert east
day, and the Courts were kept entirely tree Iron,

times previously suffered to remain inside Chit
doors.—(Clare Journal.)

DINNER
TO COMNIEMORATE. THE RETIT RN OF sat w. cUtuns

'l'o PARLIAMENT..

Yesterday a mast nomerous and respectable
flatly of Gentlemen dined together at the London
celebrate the return of Sit W. Cu BTIS,
fir the seventh'time, as one of the Representa-
tives of the City of London in Parliament. The
grand hail•tootn was most tastefully and 01'114-
muntally fi,ted up for the occasion. On the side
opposite the windows, to the right, was fixed,
in an elegant tranletrency, the Coat of Arms of
the Honourable Baronet, gracefully entwined in a
wreali of law el, and surmounted by surge
linn;.; crimson tapestry, bearing the inscripTiou of
" King, Lords, and Commons." In the centre
was als,, snspenc!ed some tapestry of the same
description, and on it was inscribed " God save
the King." To the lett, on the sante side, was
fixed in a transparency, the vroviby Baronet's
crest, encircled to the same manner as the coat
of arms, and surmounted with drapery bearing
the inscription " Ships, Colonifs, and Coin-
!tierce " The orchestra did not afford the least
gtatifying spectacle to the eye : it was hung with
the banners of the Diapers' Company, ►o which
the lion. Baronet belongs, accompanied by Otte
bearing his own arms. and one of those of the
City, the whole tastefully interspersed with olive-
branches, roses, evergreens, &c. In it was placed
a most excellent band, which occasiotally amused
the company wi,h some beautiful airs ; indeed,
the whole presented a most pleasing appearance.

At about six o'clock, Sir W. en: tis arrived,
accompanied by Sir S. C. Minter, Sir J. Yorke,
Sir C. Flower, Mr. Alderman Atkins, Sir Roller(
Preston, and ma ny other Gen! lemen ►►f the highest
respectability and character. W:,en they arrived,
the grand apartment it) which tine festival was
held was completely filled it was decorated with
ensig..s, with canopies, and with transparencies,
adorned with appropriate devices and loyal in.
script ions. Loud acclamations welcomed the
Honourable. Baronet and his friends.
The cloth removed, " Non Nobis Domine" was song, in a
very effective style, by Messrs. Incledon. Leete, Clarke, Col-
lier, Pyne, and other vocal Gentlemen who were present.

the CIIAIRMAN WliittiiOrr) in *king to
propose the first toast, thought it right to state, before he
entered on the business of the day, that Mr. Manning, who
was to have presided, was only prevented from doing so by a
severe domestic calamity. Announcing this he hoped lir the
todulgcnce of the company, to sustain hint in the pertormance
the duties which now devolved on him. He then gave
" The King."

Tnis toast was drunk with three times three, and with
shouts of enthusiastic applause. " God save the King," was
then sung, all present joining in the chorus.
" The Duke of York and the lest or the Royal Family"
was the next toast. Ibis was followed by '• flow nierrny we
live that Soldiers be;" " The Navy and Army" was then
given. " Rule Britannia" succeided, and after this "The
thy of Loudon, and PrJsperity to its Copmerce," was drank
with three times three.

••••••
" Lord 'Mayor and Mag..straey of London" was the
next toast.

Sir kVm. LRIGEITON retorned t!taulks lie felt
confident that the whole of the Nlittistracy of the City of Lon-
don, with the exception of one or two whom be would not
name, deserved the 64inour which they had just received; and
iii their name he begged to return hi: best thanks for the com-
pliment paid to them.
" The 4908 Liverymen who tool recorded by their votes
their approbation of the principles avowed by Sir W. Curtis,
Had espoused by his fi iends," was drunk with three times
three.

Mr. JACKS returned thitnks for the Liverymen
who had voted for the Hon. Baronet. Ile could not but feel
that a great triumph had been obtained in the present in-
stance, on two. or three accounts ; almost all of them had
lung been connected with the Honourable Baronet by rival e
friendship ; they had known him long, and this was the
sixth—(" No the sepenti")—the seventh return of the Ho-
nourable Baronet to Parliament. He besides understood that
the return of the Horwuratjle Baronet would not he disagree-
able to that body. He had always understood that he (Sir W.
Curtis) was there very popular; he was there regarded as one
of the remaining specimens of that breed of Gentlemen who
deserved the appellation of John Bull. The return of
the Honourable Baronet was therefore a great triatnph to
the shipping and commercial interest of the City of Loudon.
It was odd that such a City should have returned to the last
Parliament but one Gentleman more acquainted with the
concerns of those .interests, than a common shop-account-
ant. In future, he hoped the Shipping and Mercantile Inte-
rest of the City would take care to have the power in their
own hands. A man could not open a shop, not even a chan-
dler's shop, in the City, without being a freeman, but a man
might employ millions as a merchant without being one. He
hoped that, for the timeto come, those connected with the mer-
cantile and shipping interest, would place themselves in a
situation in which they would not have to solicit, but ire which
they might command, votes to return the candidates who
would best defend their rights and privileges. At present
there were two parties in the country ; the one wished to pre-
serve the Constitution such as it had been handed down to us
from our ancestors—the other wished to alter it under pre-
truce of reforming it. Those who defended the existing Con-
stitution were called Tories, but he denied that the name was
properly given; for, seeing that they were the defenders of tile
Constitution, in point of fact they were the Whigs—the Whigs
of 1688.—(Applause.)—The Constitutionalists,oi Defenders of
the Constitution, were opposed by these who called them-
selves Whigs, and by the Radicals. These it was not always
easy to dist inguish•from each other, but both seemed to mis-
take the ptinciple on which the House of Commons ought
to be chosen. They considered that it ought to be merely the
Representative of the Population of the Couatry, forgetting
that this had never been the prineitle acted upon in former
times, the Representation of property beiagthat to which most
attention had been paid. But there were some who were al-
ways talking of moderate Reform. These he would refer to
the sample of moderate Reform exhibited in the city of West-
minster. One of the Members fur Westminster had some
years ago been convicted of a great misdemeanour—another
had but recently escaped from confinement, and a third world
shortly go to it.—(Applause.)—Could it be said that such
persons really represented the city of Westminster ? Would
it be maintained that the inhab4nts of St. James's-square,
and of Grosvenur-square, and the other squares, were repre-
sented by the present Members ? No ; this could not lie
asserted, and, the Members returned were, in point of
Ltd, but the representatives of Saint Gllcs's-in-the-Gelds and
Tothill-fields. He was of opinion that the present Constitu-
tion could not be upheld if the opittions of the friends of
Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage were acted upon.
He therefore considered it a great triumph on the pant of the
City of London, that at the recent Election, they had suc-
ceeded in returning three Representatives instead of one.
finis was a splentind triumph for the 4908 Liverymen who had
voted fur Sir WiMaru Curtio, and in whose dame be now rc.

turned thanks for the honour which they had just received

front the present company.

The health of Sir NI-Pliant Curtis was then drunk with
" thrce tunes three," amidst the loudest acclamations.

Sir W. CLWIti rose, anti was greeted with
shouts of universal approbation, which did not subside for
several minutes. He thanked the meeting most cordially, not
only for the manner irk wliich they had been pleased to'elrink
his health, but for their having, on this occasion, assembled
in a manner almost unprecedented, even in that great
city. He felt that, in supporting him, they but pressed
forward its support of a good and substantial Government,
which all felt that the country required. It was thirty
years since he came into the service of the public. He
h. first been called front private life to exercise the
functions of a Magistrate, and then he had been made
one of their ilepreSentatives in Parliament. At first he
had come forward, as a young man ought to do, with fear
and trembling, to take upon himself the duties thus im-
posed upon him; but now, at the end of thirty years,
when he saw an assembly called together to meet him,
and of such a character that nu other place in England,
lie would venture to say, could produce one like it, he
felt so overpowered with exultation, that to respond iu
adequate terms to the kindness he had met with was im-
possible. He must trespass on the patience of the company
fur some time, as on this occasion he wished to give them an
accountoif his past ckeiduct. He had been first returned to
Parliament in 1790, at a time when the country was in a most
fleurishing state. About that time the French Revolution
occurred, a Revolution which not merely affected France,
but which in its consequences affected this country, and alt
the nations on the Continent of Europe. At that awfu
period, not trusting to himself, he had looked for some polar
star to guide him; and doing this, he had followed the course
of the most illustrious of all Statesmen. He had f nind a beacon
in WILLIAM PITT to direct the Ship of the State safely into
Port.—(Applause.)—lt was owing to the determination of the
successors of that great man to adhere to his policy, and act
on his principles, that this country now stood in its present
high and commanding situation. During the thirty years that
he had been in Parliament, he would take upon himself to
say, that no emu had acted a more independent part. Not-
withstanding this, in the year 1818, he had been violently
opposed, and opposed for adhering to the very sante piin-
ciples which- had first recommended him to the notice of
the Livery. The evil consequences of maintaining principles
like those which' were then prevalent, hie briefly touched
upon, and exulted in the result of the late election, as it
showed that the Electors were anxious fur the cause—look-
ed to the principles that were maintained, and nut to the
man. He was now a fortunate and successful candidate,
but when considered, exactly the reverse; his fall was his
pride, from its haring given an everlasting monument of
the respect in which he suss held by the Merchants and Ship-
owners of the City. He held ins his hand a box which he had
received on that etecasion.—(Here the Hononrable Baronet
held up a box).—lt was gold—it was pure gold, but even the
gold was dross in his estimation, compete d with the Resoiu-
tious contained in the parchment which it enclosed, •which
flattered him rnore, much more, than any election
triumph could have done. While he said this, he hoped it
would not be thought that he failed to appreciate the value
of the present triumph. If any thing could intake an old
man young again, it would be the sight of so many
persons.assembled to congratulate him on his return to Par-
hement. He then alluded to the important benefits which
the City of London must derive from having three Represen-
tatives in Parliament, and having shortly noticed with appre-
betion the late acts of the Legislature, he set fortes the im-
portance of opposing the revolutimetry designs of the pre-
tended friends of Reform. He declared that he would con-
tinue to Oppose them now, as he had hitherto done, and that
having lived in the principles of Mr. Pitt, I,y these he was te-
seleen to die. He cencleded by drini.ing to the health of the
Citizens of London.—(Loud Applause.)
A song was then sung by Mr. TAYLrot in honour of the tri-
umph of the Hon.' Bart. The last stanza, which ran as fol-
lows, called forth the most tumultnons applause :
See the CLianipion of your cause,
Champion of keit. Freedom's laws,
Well deserving your applause,
Friends of Equity!
Cause in which he's long been tried—
Cause in which tree blue is dy'd,
Britons' elory, England's pride,
Land of Liberty !
The health of Mr. Manning was then drunk with three
times tltree. Mr. P. Ontis gave the health of the Chairman
(Mr. Whitmore), which was drunk with erect applause. isle.
Whit noire returned thanks; and Sir W. Curtis, having pro-
nounced a warm eulogium on Mr. Hall, gave the health of
that Gentleman, who acknowledged the honour in a very
animated speech, in the course of which he insisted that the
Livery, Merchants, and Traders oft he City of 4<ondon ought to
unite in future as they had done on the present occasion, and
doing this they might obtain indemnity for the past and security
for the future. The healths of Sir .1. Yorke end Sir It. Preston
were subsequently drunk with three times du ee, and those Gen-
tlemen severally returned thanks. Mr. Curtis (Sir 11'111.'5 eldest
son) rose to express his gratitude for the honour (hew to the
family on this occasion, but was so overcome by his feelings
that he could not proceed. The health of Mr. S. Dixon was
drank, and he replied to the compliment in an able speech,
in the course of which lie described the Court of Comsnou
Council to be " an unwceded garden, possessed by thine:
rank and gross ie nature." This, however, he 'marked, the
Livery might correct, as the power of doing' so returned to
them once a year, if they wets but true to their ow n
interests.

"'Trial by Jury," and a number of patriotic, appropriate,
alld convivial toasts were given ; and at the close of a most
harmonious evening, Sir W. Cnwris and his friends retired
amidst the fervent and frieudly plaudits of the whole com-
pany.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 7.—Our market con-
