LOYAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF BIRMINGHAM.

(FP.01,1 THE 510RNING HERALD.)
Birmingham, Tuesday.
The fourth anniversary meeting of the Loyal and Consti•
tutional Association, at Birmingham, took place at the Royal
Hotel, yesterday morning, W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P.
North Warwick, in the chair.

The report having been read and agreed to, the officers of
the society were elected for the ensuing year.
The members of the association, to the number of nearly
500, afterwards celebrated the fourth anniversary of its in-
stitution, by dining together at the Town-hall, W. S. Dug-
dale, Esq., M.P, for North Warwickshire, in the chair; and
amongst the most distinguished guests were—the Earl of
Bradford, Lord Sandon, Lord Teig,nmouth, Lord Lifford,
Sir Francis Burdett, Sir Eardly Wilmot, Mr. Ellis, member
for Newry, Rev. Egerton Bagot, Rev. Noel Gresley,
Newdigate, Sneyde Kennersley, Mott Wolfenton, and New-
ton Dickenson, Esqrs., Doctor Booth, George Barker, Esq.,
Rev. 11. R. Wooley, Rev. J. W. Downes, Benjamin Spur-
rell, Samuel Crane, James Pixell, Charles Craven, W. B.
Smith, Edwin Kempson, and George Barrs, Esqrs. The
Earl of Dartmouth, wbo would otherwise have attended, was
prevented from being present by the recent death of his mo-
ther. The Earl of Aylesford and Sir Thomas Gooch were
also obliged, by pressing engagements, to forego their inten-
tion of assisting at the celebration.
The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, and the health
of the Duke of Wellington and House of Lords being pro-
posed, the name of the Duke of Wellington was seized upon
as the signal for the universal and most deafening cheers.
The Earl of Bradford returned thanks. He fearlessly as-
serted that the House of Lords as a body was a body of true
patorits, in the real sense of that word, but were very much
misunderstood. They bad for some years past, under great
difficulties endeavoured to steer a steady course conscientiously
but firmly, and to hand down to our posterity that glorious
constitution which had been transmitted to us from our an-
cestors. Supported as he was convinced they were by an
immense majority of the serious, tge sorber-minded, and the
religious of the country, he confidently trusted that the House
of Lords would be enabled to do much good, or at least to
avert much evil, and he hoped to preserve the constitution
from the attacks of its enemies.

The health of Sir R. Peel and the Conservative Members
of the House of Commons was proposed by Sir John Cave.
(Drunk with enthusiastic cheers.)
The healths of Earl Howe, the President of the Associa-
tion for the present year—of the President Elect, and pros-
perity to the Loyal and Constitutional Association—of the
Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese—of the Earl of Dartmouth,
the Earl of Bradford, and the other Vice-Presidents of the
Association, and of the Chairman of the dinner, were drunk
with applause and acknowledged in appropriate terms.
The Chairman then proposed the health of their worthy
guest on his left hand—a statesman who had had the manli-
ness to leave his party when he saw that they were making
experiments which were likely to overturn the institutions of
the country.
Sir F. Burdett was received with much enthusiasm, and
referred in his usual forcible language, to the effects of
O'Connell and the Precursors, giving incidentally a due
weed of praise to his former constituents, the electors of
Westminster. He alluded to the differences which had arisen
between O'Connell and the Whigs, likening the former to
"Fagan," in the popular novel of the present day.
The assembly did not break up till near 12 o'clock.
