The cloth having been withdrawn, and Non Nob*
Domino sung, dieCnairman spoke to the following effect:
Gentlemen—Having the honour to propose the health
of his Majesty, I beg to call to your recollection how
much we are indebted to him for the preservation of
our Constitution.in Church and State. It would be pre
sumptuous in we to point out the energy and fiftn•
RCM which have ever distinguished his Majesty in the
;exercise or his Royal pi erogAtive. Tu his exertions

..onstitution, beg . _co giv.
Majesty George the Fourth."—(Witt,
..c times thane).
The toast was drank amidst loud and repeated' cheering. •
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, the next toast I hate to
propose cannot fail to excite in you sensati,its of the
deepest regret—regret not only for the loss of so-ansiz
able a Prince, but also for the loss of the services of id
excellent a Commander-in-Chief. This lamented
dual, the beloved brother of our Sovereign, conferred;
dui ing his life, peculiar benefits on the army and the pub-
lic, and his loss is alike regretted by that public and by
that brave at my over which he presided (Cheers). To his
greatness in his official capacity, he ad led all the social
andbenevolent virtues. His kindness of heart—his suavity
of manners—his peculiar attention to the wishes and hap:
piness of those who depended upon him, made hint
every thing, and more than every thing that could be
desired—(Great applause). There is another trait in his
character, in revetting to which I have the most heart‘
felt pleasure, and which raises him still higher its ont
estimation—it was the firm and uttecrmpromisidg ipirii
he displayed in the support of the religion of thischun-
try, and of the Protestant ascendancy-4434d cheers).
[ observe, already, that you have in your heatti what I
wish faithfully to express, I shall, therefore, 111 no
more, than to beg that you will drink
To the Memory of his Royal Highness the Duke of Torii
The toast was then drank in solemn silence, after
. which the band played a few bars of the Doke Of
York's March..
The CHAIRMAN then gave—s.
The Lord High Admiral the Duke of Clatence—(With threi
times three).—Drank with enthusiasm.
CHAtaiims—Gentlemen, the Army and N ivy of
Great Britain—so distinguished on. every occasion are
superior to all the navies and armies in the world.

CHAIRMAN—Give me leave, thefefore, to propose

wick, and the Crown retain its uosulaled lustre—Glee, " h ail gent
of Brunswick."
CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, from the enthusiasm %AA
you evinced, quick as an electric spark, when I only
mentioned the words " Protestant ascendancy," I can
tell what the feelings of the company are on the pre-
sent occasion—(Loud applause.) Under the influence
of that ascendancy, this Country has taken its station
above every nation in the world ; and shall we suffer
it to be overcome by the theories of speculative philo-
sophers and experimental statesmen? (Great ape
plause.) It is delightful to know, that the present
King retains the same opinion that George the Third
maintained throughout the whole of his life. The
Duke of Yort possessed the same feelings, And ex-
pressed them with uncommon force and energy,
and we know what transpired in a highs quarter,
a few days ago, with respect to the Catholic Question.
Shall we then, under these circumstances, desert the
cause, when the most illust&us Member of the House
of Brunswick has said that his opinions are unchange-
able ?—(Applause). There are some, who assan-.e the
appearance of candour, and yet preach the most diabo-
lical doctrines; but the veil with which they cover
themselves is too flimsy to hide their deformity..
(Applause). Gentlemen, I will detain you_ no longer,
but proceed to give a toast, which will be responded
'from every breast with feelings of the most ardent
loyalty. I will give you, Gentlemen,
" The Protestant Aseendancy."—(With three times three).
This toast was drank with the most enthusiastic
cheering, which lasted a'considerable
CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I am going to give a toast,
which would have had no existence but toe the one
which preceded it—l mean
The pride of Britons, and the admiration the world+enr
glorious Constitution—(Air by the band).
CHAlRMAN—Pentlemen, the next toast will be the
memory of the great statesman whose birth we have
wit to celebrate—

Song—" The Pilot that weathered the storm."
CHASRMAN—Gentlemen, the great statesman who e
health I am going to propose deserves to be associated
with the name of Pitt. When I give you the name of
the Earl of Liverpool—(Loud Cheers}—l am sine you
will cordially drink to his better health. How admir-
ably a part of the third- verse of the song that has ju.t
been suug applies to his Lordship--
A statesman, unbiassed by interest or fear,
By power uncorrupted, untainted by gold !
The health. of Earl Eldon, Mr. Peet, the Duke of
Wellington, and an immense number of other loyal
and constitutional toasts, were drank with enthusiastic
fervour till past eleven o'clock, when the worthy Presi.
dent retired, and with him a large portion of the com-
pany ; Mr. Brierley was then unanimously called to
the *chair ; a number of other toasts were drank, and the
company continued to enjoy the festivities of the evening
until a late hour.

Tin THAIVIS TuaartG.—All the efforts to remedy
the effects of the late accident have hitherto proved in
vain. The water continues to rush in with great force.
RUA/IAR GOERS.—A coachman, who drives two
miserable hacks, styles his vehicle the Regulator. A
brother whip called out the other day, while passing
.him, " I say, Tom. don't you call your coach the Re-
gulator r Yes, I do," replied the other. " Ayei aad
a divilish proper name it is," resumed Jarvie. " Why
so ?" " WII7, because all the other coaches go by it.°
Last nigh: a fire broke out at Mr. BISHOP'S, in Dyer's-
buildings, Holborn, which entirely destroyed the pre-
mises, and damaged those of Messrs. Webb, Jones, and
