ANNIVERSARY V the KING'S ACCESSION.

A select assembly of Aldermen and Gentlemen
dined together yesterday at the City of London
Tavern, to commemorate the Anniversary of, the
the Throne. At half-past six

King's Accession to .
o'clock nearly SOO persons, among whom were the
Lord Mayor and Aldermen
.of Dublin, took their
scats. The head of the room was decorated with
two standards belonging to a corps of City Volun-
teers, and between them were the letters G.R. bril-
liantly illuminated, surmounted by a crown fornied
of variegated lumps, and beneath, in figures, was the
number of his MAJIMITY in the line of succession. At
the principal table was a grand plateau, from which
arose an ornamental frame in the form of a temple.
From the end of the room Sir WTI. CURTIS, who, as
Chairman, sat behind this ornamental work, appeared,
in the perspective, to sit under the canopy with appro-
priate dignity.—As soon as the cloth was removed,
The CHAIRMAN rose, to state the object of the
Meeting. They were met, he said, in compliance
with a good old custom, to enjoy themselves in com-
memoration of the Accession of a Monarch who was
as fit and proper to fill the Throne as his father who
filled it before him. It had been wickedly stateB, that
they ought not to enjoy themselves on such an.occa-
sion ; and he. thought the persons who indulged in
such ribaldry, and who propagated such disloyal
doctrines, altogether beneath his notice. He declared
his belief that his present Majesty was the best of
Sovereigns, and his determination to rally round the
Throne, which had been made almost to totter under
the weight of sedition and disaffection. He concluded
by giving the health of George IV. in four times
four.—The toast was followed by great applause.

The toasts which followed were—
" The Royal Family"—" The Memory of our late venerable
Sovereign"—" The two House. of Parliament, and may they
be honest in their judgment and firm in their resolves"—" The
Duke of York and the Army"—" The Duke of Clarence and the
Navy"—" The Lord Mayor and the Magistracy of the City of 1
London."
Mr. Alderman BIRCH' in returning thanks for the
last toast, said, that the Sovereign had been assailed
by the poison of sedition and treason, and that in fact
such insults had been offered to him, as no one man
would dare to offer to another. Under such circum-
stances, it became that body of men, who, though
few in number, were bold and tree in heart, to rally
round the Sovereign and tell him that they were
ready to stand by him to the death. It was painfu!
to talk of such things at a convivial Meeting, but in
the present stake of society, it behoved every man,
not only to exert his abilities to the utmost, but to
give as much publicity as possible to his opinions.
Ile concluded by declaring, that after the fervour,
hilarity, and dignity, dixplayed by the worthy Chair-
man, it was needless for him to pursue his remarks.

go The Lord Mayor and the Corporation of Dublin"
was the next toast, which was received with applause.
The Lord Mayor of DUBLIN returned thanks. He
declared that he felt his feelings quite overpowered,
when he considered that he was in the presence of the
Most enlightened body of men in the world—(Hear,
hear, heer)—for that praise was surely due, at least
in point of rank, wealth, and consequence, to a Meet-
ing of the Merchants and Traders of the City of Lon-
don. lie was proud at being at the head of a Cor-
poration which had stood forward unanimously to
shew their steady attachment to the Person and Go-
vernment of his Majesty, and declare their determina-
tion to support our glorious Constitution. He was
proud, too, at beholding such a Meeting as the pre-
sent, for if be had taken his opinions from the Raii-
cia Press, he could not have believed it possible that
suet; a Wiceting could have been held in the City of
London. He trusted that the Cities of London and
Dublin would go hand in hand in defending his Ma-
jesty against the malice of hi's enemie, and in sup-
porting existing institutions. He concluded by pro-
posing the health of their worthy and dignified Chair-
man. The speech of the Worshipful the Mayor was
followed by loud and continued applause.
Sir W. CURTIS, in returning thanks, drew a sketch
of his own political character, and of the views by
which he had been uniformly influenced in public life.
lie. had beard a great many fine speeches, a great
many predictions and prophecies from the Oprositton,
but they had no effect upon his mind, for he had al-
ways found the measures of Government' best calcu-
lated to promote the country's prosperity, and there-
fore they should always have his support.

The Ch AIIIMAN next gave—
.. The Members of Parliament who had honoured them by
their presence, and particularly his Colleague, Mr. T. Wilma."
Mr. T. WILSO* returned thanks.

The next toast was—" The Duke of Wellington, the pride of
England, and the terror of her enemies"—(kplause).
" The Earl of Liverpool and his Colleagues• —"The Liberty
of the Press, without Hcentituisorss,' and other toasts followed.
-The harmony of the company continued without
interruption till a late hour, and all the toasts and
songs were of a decorous character.

ANNIVZIRSA KY OF MA. FOX, AT GLASICIOW.Wed•
nesday, the Mends of civil and religious liberty cele-
brated the birth-day of this illustrious Statesman,
in the ball-room of the Black Bull Inn, Glasgow,
ROBERT GRAHAM", Esq. of Whitehill, in the Chair
Robert WALLacs, Esq. of Kelly, croupier. The num-
bers were more than double the average of former
years. The toasts were given partly from the Chair,
and partly by other Gentlemen ; and being generally
prefaced by appropriate observations, the Meeting
assumed the aspect and animation of an English one.
Very few of the persons composing the Meeting had
left the room when the Chairman withdrew.

FIRE AT MOOSTON-lIALLe-.-This venerable man-
sion, the seat of C. F. Mew', Esq. near Dornton,
Herts, was discovered to be on fire at eleven o'clock
on Sunday night, after the family had retired to rest.
The flames were first discovered in the lower part of
the house, but how the fire originated is not known.
In less than an hour the building was a' pile of ruins.
A servant boy, who slept in an attic, was so much
burnt in escaping down stairs, that it is not supposed
he can survive, and a female servant was much in.
jured in getting from her bed.rOom to the leads
of the laundry.
A fire broke out in the house of Mrs. Motrrwous,
Londun-st, eet, Fitzroy square, on Friday evening,
which consumed the interior and the goods, but
through the timely assistance of the Partsh engine,
the flames were checked and ultimately subdued.
