SHERIFFS! DINNER.

This annual banquet took place on Saturday last,
at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, and nothing
was omitted to give it every possible eclat. It was
postponed to this late period, in consequence of
the illness of Mr. Sheriff Copeland, who, we are
glad to find, appears now to have completely reco-
vered. The only political character of high distinc-
tion who attended on the occasion was the Speaker
of the House of Commons. The Lord Mayor took
the Chair, having the Speaker on his right, and
Mr. Banks, the Cursitor Baron, with Sir Charles
Flower, on his left. The cloth being removed, the
usual national and patriotic toasts were given, ac-
companied with appropriate airs. The Duke of Wel-
lington's health was received with the strongest ma-
nifestation of applause; and it was remarked as sin-
gularly characteristic that the official herald, who
stood behind the Lord Mayor's chair, proclaimed
the toast in these words—" Make ready—present
—fire."

The LORD MAYOR then rose, and gave the heu!th
c f " The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of
Commons.

The applause which this toast called forth was
loud and animated, and, as soon as it had subsided,
The SPEAKER rose to express his acknowledg-
ments, and concluded by proposing the health of the
Lord Mayor, with three times three.--(Loud ap-
plause.)
The Loin MAYOR returned thanks in suitable
terms, and then proposed " The health of the Cur-
sitor Baron."

Mr. BANKS made a formal speech in acknowledg-
ment.

The next toast proposed was "The Sheriffs,"
and nothing could exceed the plaudits it produced.
Mr. Sheriff BooTtt and Mr. Sheriff COPELAND se-
verally returned thanks.
Several other toasts followed, and the company
did not separate till a late hour.
