soon as this festive season has rlwed. to spend the re-
mainder of the winter here. Pal ties are still given with
undiminished frequency, and among those of the past
week may be mentioned that of Miss ‘V Aker, at New-
bold House, which was attended by almost every fa-
shionable now resident in tt e place.

SHUTTING .0F THE GAZER OF DERRY. less sir

Thursday. the Anniversary of this event was tele• sources,
brated in Derry, with all its usoal eclat. At three
o'clock in the morning, the sounds. of drums, fifes,
fiddles, &c. were heard throughout the town. By day-
light, a large flag, bear lug the motto of ia No Surf ender,"
Was seen flying over each of the gates, and the bells
began to ring out various airs popularly united a ith
the events of the siege. At one the apprentice boys
assembled in the area of the Linen Hall, when,
being joined by some joyous parties of Orangemen,
they commenced marching round the city, stopping
at the different gates, fi•ing volleys at each, giving at
the •same time loud cheers for the royal and noble
defenders of the Constitution. On returning to the
Linen Hall, they were addressed by the Rector of Mi-
gilligan, who, in the course of his speech, told them how
grateful they ought to be for their present well-grounded
assurance that their venerated Monarch, together with
his Majesty's hereditary Counselled., the august House
of Peers, and the population of the sister isle, from Kent
to Caithness,wcre now arrayed in behalf of the maligned
and persecuted Protestants of Ireland.
After the firing and ecstatic expressions of loyalty had
finished, two festive Meetings took place, one of the
Apprentices, &c. and the other of a numerous party of
distinguished Gentlemen.
The latter dined at the Corporation Hall. The HIGH
SHENITY pretided—Mr. GEMIGS HILL, of Brook-hall,
acted as Vice President. Alter the removal of the cloth;
and thanks being returned for the compliments of the
day, the following toasts were proposed :

thunders of applause).

command this day, as well as for the compliment which
has been paid to myself, I beg leave to return my sin-
cere acknowledgments. can promise fur the Ap-1
plastics Boys that they will never disappoint the
confidence reposed in them, but will be always at their
post, as their ancestors were, to support the principles
of civil and religious liberty. Persons forgetful of
their origin, in this nation of shopkeepers, as Bona
parte insanely designated those who nailed the rap
to the counter, may affect to undervalue the honest,
men who assembled in thousands here to-day—but 1
speak it without fear of contradiction, that the send-
meats of all but a fraction of our populatiop woe',
faithfully expressed by them. It will be said, perhaps.l
there were but few of the Gentry with you—if the.
Gentry had not expressed their opinions in a way not
to be mistaken, I would say the celebrated bard of bee
roes. whose deeds we are now commemorating, could
uot.bave traced their pedigree up to the era of the
commencement of the Chinese empire, though very
many of tlibm since have beeome proprietors of the soil
of the lively land we live in. Mr. Huffington sat down
loudly applauded.
Mr. ALLZANDRI said, he felt he would not be damn!

manner in la hich the Vice-President's toast had been
received. He felt it unnecessary to occupy their time
by saying more than that he felt proud of being an
Apprentice Boy of Derty, and that he could promise
for them that they would never shrink Irons the pin•
ciples which had ever guislel them.
The health of the High Sheriff (the descendant of Hence Ken-
nedy, whose memory is embalmed in the recollection of every man
present), who with ability and affability presides at this C,oustitu-
tioost Merting.—Thrce times three.--Orange and Blue.
Mr. KiNNEDY returned thanks.
The Governor of the City of Londonderry and Culmore Fort.
General Hut.—Nine times nine —Orange and blue.
The Lord Primate and the Chief of Ireland.—Received with
shouts of applause which lasted for several minutes.—Protestant
Boys.
The Rev. Mr. GRAHAM returned thanks, observiN
that he deemed it a high honour to be pilvileged, as
Clergyman of the province of Armagh, to return thank,
for the flattering manner in which tins toast had been
given and received, remarking. us be had taken

Mr. B. GILLESett asked permission to give the Rev.
John Graham, Rector of Tamlaghtard.
Mr. GRAHAM said, that his heart overflowed with
gratitude lot the manner in which this toast had been
given and received, particularly as it had been associated
with the health of a Gentleman whom he had ever re.,
spected for his ministerial zeal and literary acquire-
ments. His satisfaction was only diminished by the im-
possibility of doing justice to his friend, Mr. Gillespie.

gotten himself in the tribute paid to him (Mr. Graham);

to the preservation of the religion and liberties of the
realm. Nor have they, said he, been altogether fruits

thought there was sufficient room at the side of it, but
was mistaken, and drove into the river ; all his horses
were carried under the arch, and immediately drowned;
