reception.

AnGENTLEMAN present, on being called upon, responded
to the toast.

The PRESIDENT then olive the health of Sir Robert Peel,
Lord Stanley, and the Conservativeb Members of the House
of Commons. (Three times three.)
Song.—" On Stanley, on."
The next toast was the healths of the patrons, Lord San-
don and Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., arid the Honorary Mem-
hers, which was received in the most enthusiastic manner.
I Zr. COOPER rose to respond, and was warmly received.
He returned his sincere thanks for the honour they had done
him. If there was one occasion more than another when it
was peculiarly gratifying to respond to a sentiment or toast,
it was in the presence of men united together in one great
benevolent work—the furtherance of the interests of their
fellow-men ; and he only regretted that there was not
a larger number of honorary members present at this
meeting, to witness the enthusiasm that prevailed, and
the unanimity which characterised their proceedings.—
(Cheers.) He had no doubt that by a little exertion many
might be added to the list of honorary members, who would
be proud to dispense the wealth which Providence had blessed
them with in so benevolent an object. He trusted that ere
long the corporation of Liverpool would, like Vt igan, contain
a majority of Conservatives, who would not, as the present
party had done, sacrifice the interests of this great town to a
bantling of their own- (Loud cheers.) The gentleman con-
cluded by proposing the health of the Chairman. (Three
times three.)
The Chairman responded to the toast in appropriate terms.
Then followed the toasts of Mr. Jackson, who responded
in an excellent speech—the Vice-president—the Stewards—
the Secretary—the strangers who have honoured us this day
with their presence, to which Mr. J. B. Taylor responded—
the Conservative Press, &c. &c.
In the course of the evening several letters were read from
the honorary members, regretting that they could not be
present on so interesting an occasion. Several honorary
members were added to the list.
