evening, the Essex and Colchester True Blue eel Conservative
Club, embrdeing the leading nobility, ekrgy, and gentry of the
neighbourhaiel, celebrated their anniversary et. the Three Cups'
Hotel, Colchester, when upwards of 250 gentlemen sat down to
an exceilent dinner. The demand for tickets, though high
priced, vv,rs so great that, had it been possilile to provide more
extended accommodation, the number present would, we are
assured, have beeu at least doubled. The arrangements and
decorations were of the most complete and tasteful character,
and the utmost harmony and enthusiasm prevailed throughout
the entire proceedings. Sir G. H. Smyth, Bart., M.P. offici-
ated as chairman. The list of stewards comprised the foll'owing,

SALpoRD OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE AsSOCIATION.—A spe-
cial general meeting of this association was held on Monday
evening, at the Three Crowns, King's street, Salford. The
room of meeting (by no means a small one,) was crammed al-
most to suffocation. William Garnett. Esq., of Lark-hill, (who
attended by invitation.) addressed the meeting at some length,
and was most enthusiastically received. Several other gentle.
men subsequently addressed the association, and a great num-
ber of new members were admitted. The meeting broke up
shortly after eleven o'clock.
HoLSIE OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE SOcIETY.—OR Monday
evening last, the members of the above society assembled at
their usual place of meeting. The business of the meeting be-
ing disposed of to the entire satisfaction of all the members,
they separated, at rather a late hour, (ten o'clock, highly de-
lighted, and not a little encouraged, at being called upon dur-
ing the evening to add to their list the names of several mem-
bers.

WAKEFIELD.—The Conservative dinner of the borough takes
place on the sth December. Several distinguished guests will
be present, and the application for tickets up to this point of
time have been so numerous that there is much doubt whether
, the lareest room in the town (capable of accommodating be-
tween 450 and 5000 will be sufficient to contain all who wish to
be present. J. L. Fernandez, Esq., is to be the chairman.
'I he Conservatives of Bradford, give a grand entertainment
to their representative, Mr. Hardy, on. Friday, the 2d of Decem-
ber, at which a large assemblage of distinguished guests are
also expected.
The borough of Pontefract, we have heard it rumoured, is
about to follow the example of its neighbours, and give an en-
tertainment to do honour to their Conservative representative,
Lord Pollington, and at thesame time commemorate the triumph
of Conservative principles in the late municipal elections.
KING'S-CROSS LOYAL ASSOCIATION OF TRADESAIEN.—The
second meeting of this already numerous association was held
on Monday evening, at the Bell Tovern (Mr. Young's) for the
purpose of deliberating on and adopting measures relative to
the stability and prosperity of the society. It was reported to
the Chairman that communications had been made to the secre-
tary by the leaders of several other local associations, and a
hope expressed'that the nights of meeting might be so arranged
that the members of each association might be enabled to visit
and co-operate with each other.
BRIGHTON.—The quarterly meeting of the Brighton Conser-
vative Association was held on Tuesday night, in the large room,
which was insufficient to contain the whole of the company.
The chair was taken at seven o'clock by Sir David Scott, Bart.,
the President of the Association, who was supported by Major-
General Sir John Riley, M.P. for Windsor, Sir Riggs Falki-
ner, Bart., Sir J. Westphal, Sir Robert Wilmot, Bart., Capt.
! Welland, &e. Several excellent speeches were delivered in the
course of the evening on the cheering prospects of Conservatism
throughout England ; and it is pretty clear that Brighton will
be one of the foremost of those boroughs which will emancipate
itself from the thraldom of the Radicals, who have too long
been suffered to carry everything before them.
DINNER TO THE HON. CAPTAIN GORDON, M.P.—Thurs-
day, 161) of the constituents of the Hon. Captain Gordon, M.P.

deen, &c.

how far the registration of the county had been favourable or
otherwise to the Conservative cause. It appeared that it had
