King and Mureh, which was repeatedly interrupted
by loud plaudits.
Lord Laecessze then role to propose a toast, and
&served, that the less that was said upon it the
better, because L needed only to be named to be re-
ceived with the warm approbation of the Meeting.
He gave..-4, The Protestant Aseenstancy."—(Loud
and continued' cheering accompanied the drinking of
this).--It was followed by. an Ode, written for the
occasion by John Taylor, Esq. and sung with great
effect by the whole of the vocal performers present.
The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave—g, The Ministers
of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and may
the principles of Mr. Pitt ever actuate the councils
of Great Britain."—After tie loud applause which
followed this toast had subsided,
The Earl of Livaaroot rose (the other Ministers
present standing at the same time), and begged on
the part of his Royal Highness's Ministers to return
their sincere thanks for the honour which had been
done them. They should always feel proud to re-
ceive the thanks of their fellow subjects, but they
felt peculiarly gratified at having their conduct ap-
proved by the friends of that great man, whose
principles had been the rule and guide of all their
measures. He assured the Club, that he felt great
satisfaction in attending on the present occasion, for
he agreed with their Noble Chairman, that attempts
were making in most parts of the country to sap the
foundation of public morals and religious feeling,
aod more particularly in London ; and that 'there-
fore it was most necessary to place a strong barrier
against their further progress by the support and
union of .associations of the followers of Mr. Pitt's
principles. By these he conceived the honour and
safety of the country would be heft secured ; and he
trusted that there would ever be foupd a large body
of men firm and united in the adherence to those
great principles of Mr. Pitt, front which the country
had already derived such great renown and prospe-
rityr.-(hear, hear).
Ear Baantotsr said, he was convinced the toast
which he was then about to give needed no observa-
tion from him to recommend it. it was the health
of their Noble Chairman—(loud applause). It was
undoubtedly an additional honour and weight to the
Principles of Mr. Pitt that they were adhered to by
a Nobleman of such public virtue and private worth
ai distinguished the Noble Lord who presided—
(hear, hear). He fully agrees with the observations
made by the Noble Chairman, and.he thought they
gave him an additional claim on the approbation of
the Club. He concluded by giving The health of
Lord Lascelles."—(This was received with shouts of
applause, which continues for some minutes.)
Lord LasctaLes expressed his deep sense of gra-
titude for the high honour which had been conferred
upon him, not only by the manner in which the
Noble Earl had proposed him as a toast, but also
for that in which it was received by the Club. He
could assure them, that as an individual, he had not
blindly followed the principles of Mr. Pitt. He
adhered to them from a due consideration of their
great importance and advantage to the country; nor
was he a blind adherent to the measures of those
who professed, to adhere to such principles, but he
adhered to them because he believed that, as far as
circumstances permitted, they did really adhere to
them most implicitly—(feed applause).
Song, by Mr. thgnum—The Pilot that weathered the Storm.
'The LORD CUANCRILOR assured the Club of the
anxiety he felt lest he should not have been able to
attend on the present occasion, for he had pledged
himself before, and he now repeated that pledge,
that, as long as he lived, while his health permitted,
and when his duties to the Public did ma interfere,
be would attend them—(Hear, hear). This he con-
ceived to be a duty imposed upon him, not merely
from personal' attachment to the memory of that
(inn with whose friendship he had so long been he:
poured, and so much of whose confidence he had
shared, but because he believed in his conscience
that by an adherence to and support of Mr. Pitt's
prihciples, the prosperity of England and the safety
of other countries could alone be secured—(Hear,
'hear). The preservation inviolable of the Constitn:,
tion of the country, in Church and State, as it was
established at the Revolution, would he best attend-
ed to by a prevalence of those principles; To these
principles was Mr. Pitt most sincerely attached, and
only by them could the country be perfectly secure,
at home and abroad. Mr. Pitt allowed toleration to
its fullest extent, but he never suffered any infringe-
ment upon those established rules in Church and
State, upon the permanence of which the existence
of die Constitution depended. l'he Noble and
Learned Lord concluded by proposing—l,Prosperity
and perpetuity to the Pitt Club."—This was received
with loud and repeated acclamation,:.
Th. la?..ble CHAIRMAN, accompanied by the seve-
ral Lords and Gentlemen whom we named above,
left the room about ten o'clock.

The Chair was then taken by Admiral Sir EDWARD
BULLICR. After which several excellent toasts and
songs were given, and the conviviality of the Meet-
ing was kept up to a late hoar.

Monday evening last, after dark, the Rev. Haws,
Ilnitua, brother to Mr.
_Bnuaa, the Magistrate of
Marlborough-street, was stopped by two footpads,
disguised as countrymen, ne.tr Stevenage, in Hert.l
fordshire, and robbed of a gold repeating watch, with
two gold seals. He gave the alarm as soon as pru-
dence would allow, and the villains were traced by
some persons as far as the Ware-road, but unfortu-
nately escaped the vigilance of their pursuers.

Wednesday evening, as a poor man, of the name of
Rowley, was passing by a Gentleman's seat at Old-
Ford, a child which he had in his arms began to cry
for some flowers which it saw over the garden wall ;
Ithe poor man, to gratify his child, laid it dawn on the
ground, and climbed on the gate, and in order to sup-
port himself, laid bold of a large stone ball which or-
namented the top of one of the pillars ; when unfor-
tunately the ball gave way, and the poor man fell on
his back, and the stone, which weighed between four
and 500 weight, fell on him and crushed him to,
death. The child, which sat on the ground close by,
had a very narrow escape with its life.
