expressing their deep regret that absence from town, or
previous engagements, prevented them from being present.
The dinner, which was served in Willis's best style,
consisted of all the delicacies of the season ; and, as the
Thatched House is j u st about to be pllled down, was worthy
to be the closing public entertainmenttiven under a roof
long noted for the excellence of its wines and viands. •
The Rev. 1)r. IVORTHING having said the grace, and
the cloth having been removed,

The NOBLE dITAIRMAN rose to propose the health of
her Msjesty the Queen,- expressing a wish that her Ma-
jesty might long reign over a free and united people,
embracing the whote extent_ of her vast colonial em-
pire.—(Loud cheers.)
" Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, the Princess
Royal, the Queen Dowager, and the Royal Family,"
were severally given from the Chair, and drank with
enthusiasm.

The Army and Navy" was proposed from the Chair,
with three times three and all the honours.

Sir G. MURRAY, in a feeling and eloquent speech, re-
turned thanks for the Army.
Captain DREW followed, and returned thanks on
behalf of the Navy.

His Grace :be CHAIRMAN then said, he rose to pro •
pose the health of the distinguished individual who sat
on his right hand.—(Loud and vehement cheering,
which lasted some minutes.) He proposed the health
yf Sir Allan Macnab, because he felt this country owed
air Allan a deep debt of gratitude for his services at a
moment of difficulty and danger.—(Cheers.) On the
(mansion of that unfortunate outbreak—for outbreak he
must be allowed to call it—Sir Allan Macnab came for-
ward, and gave all the weight of his influence and cha-
racter, which fortunately led to the alleviation of hos-
tilities.—(Cheers.) Sir Allan Macnabl who was leaving
the shores of this country, would carry with him the
assurance that the people of England looked upon the
i( i CI
gh et
lei)raesitefl,ori)tdrsh.e:i
Canadians with the feeling of brotherhood, and would
support them against all aggression—(Cheers)—and
unite to keep uplifted that flag under which Nelson
triumphed, and Wellington conquered.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir ALLAN MACNAR, who was received on his rising
with the warmest acclamations, proceeded to say, that
the complimentary manner in which the Noble Chair-
man had spoken of his humble services, and the enthu-
siasm with which he had been received, demanded his
warmest acknowledgment. He had never anticipated
that the poor services he bad rendered to the country—
services which had originated from his earnest desire to
preserve intact ahe integrity of the empire—could pos-
sibly have entitled him to the gratifying marks of their
approbation.—(Loud cheers.) He merely regarded him-
self as a fortunate individual, in whose person a well-
merited compliment was intended to be paid to the
loyalty and devotion of the people of Canada. He saw
a gallant and distinguished officer present who had been
a settler, and who, in the stormy times of insurrection,
had left his farm, and rendered services to his country
never to be forgotten.—(Cheers.) He (Sir Allan Mac-
nab) was glad to have the opportunity of expressing his
deg) sense of invaluable services given in an hour of
great emergency, namely, at the breaking out of the in-
serrection.—(Hear.) One of the first to meet him in
that moment of peril was --Captain Drew.—(Loud and
long-continued cheers.) He sought him (Sir Allan
Macnab) out at the very commencement of tha out-
break, abandoned his farm and family, and
marched with the troaps from one , end of Canada
to the other.—(Cheers.) The people of that country
looked forward with intense interest for the period when
his gallant friend would. in this country, be rewarded
' for his services.—(Loud cheers.) As honest, brave, and
generoes men they never could forget those services.—

thing but a healthy and industrious population to make

Canada was the natural inheritance of the people of
England, Ireland, and Scotland.—(Cheers.) That po•
pulation, which in this country was a source of evil, in
Canada became the means of wealth,—(Hear.) While
glancing at this subject, it was with great pleasure he
found on his arrival in England that there was an asso-
ciation ripening into maturity'which had for its object
the affording means of emigration into Canada on a
national scale, and for promoting colonization on an
organised and efficient principle. His
(Sir Allan Mac-
nab's) services had been asked, and by • him freely given,
convinced that by so doing he was furthering the in-
terests of the mother country and advancing those of
the colony, at the same time• that a highly remunerative
return would be insured to those who should promote
such important objects by the investment of their ca-
pital.—(Cheers.) If that emigration was fairly carried
out, the best results would inevitably follow to the people
of both countries.—(Loud cheers.) It would be not
more his duty than his pleasure, in returning to Canada,
+o state the estimation in which that country was
held by the people of England. He (Sir Allan
Macnab) could never forget the hospitality and sterling
kindness lie bad met with during the short stay lie had
made in the land of his forefathers ; and he would con-
clude by thanking theta most gratefully, and fervently
hoping that the land of his birth might long continue a
source of strength, forming, to the end of all time, a
permanent portion of their glorious empire.—(Loud
and enthusiastic cheering.)
His Grace the CHAIRMAN then rose, and remarked
that the next toast on his list was marked blank and the
House of Peers.—(Great laughter.) Ile would supply
the blank, by inserting the name of one who was not
only an honour to the Peerage, but to the country which
gave him birth. He (the Chairman) would give " The
Duke of Wellington, the hero of a hundred fights."
His GRACE then proposed, in very complimentary
terms, " The health of Sir Francis Burdett, and the
house of Commons," for which the Hon. Baronet re-
turned thanks.
- The health of Lord Stanley, and the Colonies," was
next given from the Chair, and warmly received.
The Croupier, Sir RICHARD BROUN, having called for
a bumper toast, gave the " Health of his Grace the Duke
of Richmond and Lennox." In doing so he felt that the
:oast which lie had the honour to propose required no
prefatory remarks to ensure for it the warmest reception
from all present.—(Loin'_ cheers.) The Noble and Gal-

the honour done by his Graces flying the chair would
have been warmly felt and appreciated. This dinner was
not, however, to be regarded simply as a mark of respect
to their guest, on his leaving the home-seat of a mighty
nation, to whom he had done good and faithful service,
but as one given on his entering upon duties which would
tend to strengthen British connexion in North America,
and to promote indefinitely the happies 3 and welfare of
the mother country and the colony. In this pointof view,
and considering the general distress, it would be matter
of re juicing • • to multitudes in all parts 'of the United
1 Kingdom, that his Grace had presided at a meeting from
I a bleb a powerful impulse would. be given to emigration

I and colonization upon rate' • . principles than
any which
had heretofore engaged public attention.—
Duke had just returned (Cheers.) The Noble in from
Bristol, where he had been assisting the proceedings
at the anniversary festival of the l Roya
, Agricutural Society
of England; and e hilst no one waspore ready and willing
than himself to allow the great pubic utility and
im-
portance of that noble institution, nevertheless he conld
not but lament that the soil, _ and things earthy of every
description, were cultivated acidimproved rather than
insii.—(ll2ar, hear.) The British-American Association
had been formed partly to extend the generous dominion
of the plough over the magnificent_ regions in British
America which had lately been the sphere of those loyal
1 and patriotic exertions which had won for their guest the
gratitude and respect of every right.;hearted man

of the British Crown—and partly to consoWate the
social interests, the political power, and the moral great-
ness of the races which there constitute the germ of a
future mighty population. The effective carrying out
of these high designs would alike bless our home, and
our transatlantic fellow-subjects, and he therefore con-
fidently trusted that they would be deemed worthy of the
support of the Noble Duke in the chair, and of the great
landed proprietors in the United Kingdom. In that
expectation, and without further comment, he had the
honour to propose the health of the Duke of Richmond,
and begged at the same time, on behalf of the Associ -
tion, to offer their united thanks for the favour which
he had conferred by presiding on the occasion.—Cheers.)
The toast having been drunk with all the honours,
The Noble CHAIRMAN rose and said, lie felt deeply
grateful for the manner in which they had received the
toast. Ile fete, when applied to to till the chair, that if
there were any advantage in having in that situation one
connected with the British Peerage, that the services his
Gallant Friend Sir Allan Macnab had rendered to the
country demanded at least that from his hands. He
could not ferget that his revered parent had been Gover-
nor-General of Canada—(Much cheering)—and had
been received in that country by all classes of the people
with consideration and affection. It had always been a
principle with him that at all cost England must preserve
and maintain her colonies. The men who emigrate to
the most distant parts of Canada live under theßritish
Constitution. and it is the duty of the mother country
to defend them: from insult and aggression. Al-
though far removed from the shores of their native land,
they still recognised and would protect them as British
citizens.—(Cheers.) Canada had won respect at their
hands, and it was the principle, as it was the duty, of
Engli=hinen to give honour where honour was due.—
(Loud cheers.) lie only hoped that whenever circum-
stances should bring them together for a similar purpose,
for which they were assembled that evening, the same
feeling would exist to do honour to his single-minded
and gallant friend, Sir Allan Macnab, who sat at his
right hand.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir ALLAN MACNAB, in a short and impressive
address, moved the thanks of the meeting to the ex-
Governors-General of Canada who were present. Lord
Aylmer, Sir George Murray, Sir Peregrine Maitland,
and Sir F. B. Head, who severally returned thanks.
His GRACE next proposed from the Chair—" The
Duke of Argyll, and prosperity to the British-American
Association." In doing so, he referred especially to the
distress which existed in various districts in the High-
lands of Scotland, andexpressed his best wishes in favour
of an institution which would prove beneficial in many
important respects, and he felt confident that an institu-
tion having his Noble Friend at its head could not fail of
being well conducted.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir RICHARD Bnoun, in the absence of the Noble
President, returned thanks on behalf of the British-Ame-
ricin Association for the honour done to it by the Noble
Duke in the Chair, and by the numerous influential and
distinguished individuals present who had so cordially
testified their desire for its success. He regretted that the
task of responding to the toast had not tallen into the
hands of some one of his colleagues better able than
himself to express their appreciation of so high a
compliment. But having been called upon officially
to discharge the vice duties of the Chair upon an occa-
sion alike agreeable to his own feelings, and honourable
to their Chief Commissioner for Canada, he begged to as-
sure all present that no efforts would be wanting on the
part of himself and the other executive officers of the in-
stitution, to realise the ends for which it has been founded.
Adverting to the Association, he woad not occupy the
time of the company by entering into any lengthened
exposition of its objects. These, in a single sentence,
were to promote emigration to, and colonization in, our
North American provinces upon a comprehensive and
systematic plan. 'The formation and designs of the As-
sociation had already been developed at large public
meetings held in Edinburgh and Glasgow, presided over
respectively by the Chief Magistrates of those cities, and
had been declared by the unanimous voice of those pre-
sent to be entitled to the confidence and support of all
persons in the United Kingdom desirous of advancing
the moral and social welfare of the labouring classes.—
(Great cheering.) The Presidency of the Association
bad been accepted by a Noble Duke, endeared to Scotland
not less by a long line of illustrious ancestors who had
ever beeh foremost in every good work which concerned
the religion, the liberty, the weal, the glory of that king-
dom, than by his own personal worth and domestic virtues,
and who, that his connexion with the Association might
not merely be nominal, had been the first to enter him-
self in its list of shareholders.—(Loud cheers.) Its Con-
sulting Council enrolled men high in station, powerful
in influence, great in intellect, wise in experience, and
unimpeachable in honour, wile joined it as a means,
created by national need, to promote the loftiest aims of
benevolence, patriotism, and social virtue.—(Loud
cheers.) Such being the case, what occasion had he to
dwell further upon its merits? He could not, however,
sit down without adverting to the necessity out of which
arose the British-American'Association for Emigration
and Colonization—viz. the alarming distress which pre-
vailed in the country. That distress was alarming not
only on account ( f its exigency and extent, but also from
the fact that it had gradually been accumulating from the
period of the Peace. For twenty-seven years the nation
had enjoyed freedom from hostile aggression, fruitful
seasons, unremitting industry ; and notwithstanding all
the appliances of science and of art to make a contented
and prosperous people, Great Britain was yearly de-
clining from her ancient landmarks, until pauperism
threatened to engulph the whole industrial and middle
classes of society. What then was to be done? Was
want to be allowed to achieve within their walls that
which Europe, armed and at their gates, would be unable
to accomplish? A variety of expedients had been al-
ready tried, and others were contemplated. Parliament
had been reformed, national expenditure lessened, the
tithes commuted, the Poor-laws amended, and now the
Corn. laws had been modified, an Income-tax passed, and
a new Tariff adjusted. Still he felt satisfied that all
these measures would be found as drops in the bucket.
At the close of the war, the country had been let down
from high prices, high wages, high profits, into a state
of money atrophy; and the distress, produced by that
circumstance had been perpetuated and increased by the
aggregation of wealth in the hands of individuals—by
machinery displacing manual labour—by a departure
from the ancient protective principle—by an unjust exer-
cise of the competitive system—and by an utter inat-
tion to the laws which are essential to the due
adjustment of production and consumption. The evils
which have resulted from a long combined course
of vicious social policy were too widely ramified and
deeply seated to be remedied, except by making the new
world the field of a mighty national operation for the
effectual and perinanent amelioration of the old.—(Lond
cheers.) Was this impossible ? It was calculated that
there were in the United Kingdom at least four million
able-bodied persons willing to work, but without employ-
ment. There were millions of capital seeking an honest,
just, and safe investment ; and there were millions of
acres of land in British America, rich in the various
necessaries of life, requiring cultivation. Here, then,
were all the essentials for at once forming a great, a
wealthy, and a prosperous community:—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) Canning, from his place in Parliament, had
boasted that he looked to the west, and called into ex-
istence a few distant, abortive, and alien states. But he
(Sir R. B.) hoped that the time had arrived when the
wise and the good of the United Kingdom, whether in
Parliament or out of Parliament, would concentrate their
attention upon British North America, and make her
instrumental to ends which concerned the welfare of the
State, the safety of the Crown, and the ascendency of
the monarchy.—(Cheers.) The Secretary of State for
the Home Department, in one of his pamphlets, has
remarked —-4 Whenever this country presents the
spectacle of millions supplicating for bread, then will the
people sweep away titles, pensions, and honours." That
spectacle was now daily presenting itself, and premoni-
tory symptoms of a completion of the prophecy every-
where appeared. Still he considered that we were not
w_Tessarily a doomed people. A few years antecedent
to the development of those evils which afterwards pro-
duced the great civil wars, the pacific Monarch who first
extended the sceptre of the House of Stuart over those
majestic realms, which now constitute the British
empire, erected a new order of hereditary nobility to
effect ends similar to those which the British-American
Association proposes to accomplish. Had the paternal
views of King James the First for the honour
and credit, the opulence, prosperity, and peace of
his subjects been realised, the reign of his son
would not have closed in his bloodshed, and succeeding

generations have gone down broken-hearted to the tomb
amidst social desolation, anarchy, and strife.—(Hear,
hear.) Let us, then, be warned in time, and learn
wisdom from the historic lessons of the past. After a
multiplicity of changes and experiments, we are driven
back to the conclusion, that destitution must be remedied
by other means than by legislative provision, or private
benevolence. Since the passing of the Poor-law Amend-
ment Act, the number of actual paupers in England and
Wales have enormously increased—and within these
bounds the position laid down by Lord Brougham has
been verified to the letter, viz., that " every permanent
fund set apart for the support of the poor from whomso-
ever proceeding, and by whomsoever administered, must
needs multiply the evils it is intended to remedy."—
(Hear, hear.) Well, then, let us abandon the Egyptian
policy of requiring our industrial orders to make bricks
without giving them straw. Let us adopt and accelerate
the wiser, juster, and nobler policy, which would put
corn and money into every. labourer's sack. What we
desiderata is, the extirpation of pauperism—not its
maintenance, Having redeemed slavery, is it impossible
by such combinations of labour, land, and capital, as will
be involved in the operations of the British-American
Association to emancipate the country from that bondage
to want, hunger, nakedness, cold, physical deprivations,
and moral anguish, which now lays a burden upon
millions of our fellow-subjects which God and nature
never intended them to bear? Hitherto the plantation
of our North American dependencies has never engaged
the due attention of a nation of which they form part
and parcel as integral portions. Emigration has bean
left to take its own unaded and unguided course—whilst

colonization exists but as a name, without any scientific
or syetematic realities. He hoped, however, under the
special and anxious superintendence of the influential
Peers, Baronets, and Gentlemen formin the Consulting
Council of the Association, that these two highly na-
tional objects would henceforth be carried out on en-
lightened principles, with practical utility to the mother
country and the bolony, and high remunerative advan-
tage to those who shall invest capital in its stock.—(Loud
cheers.) lie was nevertheless fully aware, that in the
progress of their operations there were both dangers
to be apprehended and difficulties to be overcome.
Still he entertained no fears for the result. Confiding
upon he integrity of their proceedings, the purity of,
their eiews, and the utility of their public aims, he felt'
assured that the Association would be sustained in its
practical workings by the noble, the good, the loyal, and
patriotic, both of the mother country and the colony.—
(Clmrs.) The policy of a Government true to the inte-
rests of the British Crown could not but appreciate and
aid exertions which would immensely tend to consolidate
British influence in Northern America. The Colonial
Legislature would facilitate objects which would give a
mighty impulse to their social aggrandisement, and ren-
der their connexion with the parent State secure and in-
dissoluble. The clergy of the United Kingdom, as a
body, would co-operate in measures essential not only for
parochial relief, but for the continuance of all that most
immediately concerns the moral, spiritual, and physical
welfare of the people committed to their charge. Vast
multitudes in England, Scotland, and Ireland, ready to
perish, would second their efforts, antravail themselves of
the advantages now first brought within their reach ;
whilst throughout their boundless transatlantic domains
a brotherhood, sprung from the loins of the fairest and
bravest European monarchies, were ready to aid us
with outstretched arms. Thus supported, the British-
American Association could not fail to accomplish the
great objects which it has been called into existence to
subserve ; and he therefore confidently trusted through
future years that under its auspices the germ of popula-
tion in British-America would rapidly expand itself
into a- mighty and illustrious monarchical nation. With
this hope and belief his colleagues and himself would go
forward hand in hand to extend the foundations of a
growing community—to obliterate the jarring recollec-
t•ons of the past—and to accelerate whatever should
best promote the glory and the power of that bulwark
of religion, ltherty, and peace, the British Throne.
" The Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of
London," was proposed from the Chair, and Alderman
Sir J. Duke, M.P., returned thanks.
From the Chair—" Sir Charles Bagot, and our North
American Colonies."
Mr. URQUHART, in an able speech, proposed the
health of Captain Drew, to which the Gallant Officer
returned thanks.
Dr. ROLPH then gave " The Public Press," and Mr.
Walter having been warmly called upon, returned thanks
in his usual able manner.

The Duke of RICHMOND felt extreme pleasure in pro-
posing the health of a gentleman from whose great ex-
ertions and powerful talent the most efficient service bad
been rendered both to the colony, and the cause in-
trusted to his advocacy. He should therefore propose
" Dr. Rolph, and success to his mission, the furtherance
of emigration to Canada." The toast was received with
great cheering.
Dr. RoLrit said, that he felt deeply indebted to his
Grace for the very flattering manner in which he had
been pleased to propose his health, and to the company
for the responsive enthusiasm with which it had been
received. His first success, and subsequent influence,
he Could not forget, had arisen from his attendance at
the great northern meeting at Inverness, in 1839, at
which his Grace had presided with his usual effect.—
(Cheers.) It was, indeed, a most gratifying circum-
stance to him, that his_ Noble Friend, Sir Allan Macnab,
whom, for years past, he had earnestly urged to visit
Great Britain, had been received with so much respect
on his arrival, and with such warm demonstrations of
regard on his departure. On his (Dr. H.'s) return to
Canada on each successive occasion, during the last
three years, he had earnestly endeavoured to convince
the warm-hearted inhabitants of that splendid colony,
that the great bulk of the people of the United Kingdom
felt the deepest interest in their welfare anti prosperity.
It was true, and much to be deplored, that at the period
when, under misguided impulses, an attempt was made
to bring about a separation from Great Britain, there
were not wanting individuals in this country to justify
that insane and treasonable effort, who even wished the
Bruish soldiery defeated, and anticipated, with delight,
the dismemberment of' the empire. Happily they were
hut fel in number, insignificant in character, and con-
temptible in influence. The great body of the British
people • felt, that if England lost her colonies, or was
prepared to abandon them, she would be, what she
would then certainly deserve to be, but a colony herself.
—(Enthusiastic cheers.) Better prospects, however,
had since dawned on Canada ; she had come out of a
severe and trying ordeal, not only unscathed, but
triumphant. So cheering, indeed, had her altered pros-
pects become, that not only did those of her fellow-
countrymen who now left the shores of Great Britain
for the American continent give Canada the preference,
but those who had taken up their abode in the United
States were returning, by thousands, to the peaceful
sway of their beloveeMonarch, again to live under the
protecting influence of the British flag.—(Loud cheers.)
During the present year it had come to his personal
knowledge that larger numbers of wealthy settlers, and
a greater amount of British capital had proceeded to
Canada, than during any year since the standard of Old
England had been planted on the heights of Abraham
by the gallant and immortal Wolfe. The present com-
pliment, so justly due, and so handsomely conferred on
their guest, Sir Allan Macnab, would prove most grate-
ful and agreeable to the inhabitants of Canada generally.
They would view it, as indeed it should be viewed, as a
marked compliment paid to themselves. They would
consider it as a guarantee that the defence of Canada
was highly acceptable to the British people, and an
earnest that they generally desired to see it an incor-
porated integral portion of the British empire.—(Loud
cheers.) Another excellent result would follow from this
gratifying scene. A just discrimination would henceforth
be made between that portion of the American conti-
nent, under the British sway, which had always honour-
ably maintained its faith, performed all its obligations,
preserved its credit, established its probity, and sustained
its character, from those portions of the same continent
where the dishonest doctrines of repudiation had been
boldly proclaimed.—(Cheers.) Every loan hitherto
raised in Great Britain, for whatever part of America,
had been confounded under the common name of Ame-
rican security ; and Canada has not only just cause of
complaint for this mistake, but had suffered most severely
from the delinquencies of others, and from a supposed
participation in the principles of repudiation, which she
utterly denounces and abhors.—(Cheers.) It was, there-
fore, fervently to be hoped, that as the current of emi-
gration had been fully restored to Canada, the free in-
vestment of British capital would as certainly follow.
Indeed, from the increasing correspondence which he
was then carrying on with all parts of the United
Kingdom, lie felt fully convinced that that desirable
adjunct and auxiliary to the rapid advancement of
Canada would be no longer wanting. The excellent
Governor of New Brunswick, in one of his able de-
spatches, said, in reference to that valuable colony, " I
cannot but hope, also, that English capital, the applica-
►ion of which in public works in the United States has
hitherto aftbrded so much etsployment to emigrants, will
-henceforth be directed to these provinces, and that, by
the settlement of the wilderness, they may be secured as
British possessions." That such were also the hopes
and anticipations of the Canadians themselves, the com-
ment of one of the ablest writers-and upright politicians
in that province, on the former dinner given to Sir A.
Macnith, would demonstrate. "An interchange of such
friendly visits to and from the mother country must be
attended with the most beneficial consequences to all
parties. They would greatly tend to elucidate the views
of British subjects on both sides of the Atlantic ;
to explain their principles of action on certain
points of colonial policy, to penetrate alike into
the immediate and more -remote interests in bonds
of closer and more enduring intimacy. Above
all, they would serve to convince capitalists and other
men of property in the mother country that there now
happily exists a field for the investment of capital in thN
country, which, for security and ordinary profit, is not
surpassed elsewhere. Our laws are enforced with in-
tegrity ; our banks and public institutions are sound in
foundation, and active, prudent, and successful in their
operations ; our commercial enterprise is great, but not
less great than just and honourable ; the navigation of
our lakes and rivers is increasing daily in import-
ance and profit, the terms in this point of view at
least being nearly synonymous ; our public works, such
as canals, roads, and harbours, are, some of them, in full
operation, if we may so express it, while others are in
rapid progress towards completion—thus affording ample
remuneration to industrious labour, as well as to the in-
vestment of capital, not only under the guarantee of the
provincial, but the imperial Governments ; and, to sum
up our short, but important catalogue, our soil and
timber are nearly as inexhaustible as ever, affording to
both the farmer and merchant of capital a never-ending,
and, we hope, never-failing source of prosperity and
profit. Now, let us be permitted to inquire whether
these, one and all of them, are not subjects worthy of
serious consideration among persons of capital, pro-
perty, and enterprise in the mother country ? They are
assuredly; and it is with satisfaction we perceive that a
better and more congenial spirit seems to pervade those
classes, undoubtedly in consequence of a more intimate
acquaintance with the resources of these provinces, which
