THE DINNER.

- --- -
At six o'clock, the company sat down to ap excellent dinner at
the Castle and Falcon Tavern. After the cloth was removed, the
Chairman (Mr. Bristowe) gave" the King," fuur times four—then
" the Army and Navy,"—" the People, the true source of legiti-
mate Power,"—" His Majesty's Ministers,"—" the Town and
Trade of Newark."
The CUAIIIMAN next proposed " the health of Mr. Serjeant
Wilde," which was drunk with toad applause, and foie times tour.
Mr. Serjeant Wuxi, in returning thanks, expressed the
warm sense which he entertained of these compliments. He
referred to their former proceedings, and complained, in indig-
nant terms, of the manner in which the Duke of Newcastle
had behaved to the independent erectors of Newark,. eke. Mr.
Serjeant Wilde, in conclusion, made an animated appeal to the
people of Newark to be true to themselves, regardless of the frowns
of power, and the corruption of principle exhibited by men of
rank, who were nut half so noble-winded as those they had

oppressed.
Upon the health of Mr. Hill being drank, coupled with the inde-
pendence of the bar,
Mr. Mu. returned thanks, and pronounced a, warm culogluni
on Mr. Serjeant Wilde. He vindicated the independence of the
barristers of the midland circuit, and animadverted, in urpog terms
upon Mr. Sadler's absence on the present occasion. He characte-
rised the speeches of that gentleman as being made up of Yankee
cut-off phrases, of tropes and Sgures,--the only commodities, in
fact, a flee trade in which the Hon. Member bad not denounced.

(A laugh•)
The liberality of the press was then drank, and Mr. Hrrcenis,
of the Newark Times, returned thank'.
The company sat until a late hour. in the enjoyment of much
conviviality.
